"I rode to Hopkinsville. Jim Crow car. I pulled off my Liberty Bond button as I entered that car. You may Jim Crow car, but you shouldn't Jim Crow my Country." The whites enjoyed this as much as the Race. Then he shot this one like it. "Any American good enough to wear a Liberty Bond button over his heart is too good to ride in a Jim Crow car." Col. Simmons paid a tribute to the Declaration that is classic. He has been urging the white people to stand up and not be insulted of their country; you can be said.

What is grander in the lists of government.' "It said that God is everybody's God. "It said king's are human and have no rights divine. "It said that the rights of man alone and the concern of organized society. People died." "It said that faith will the grand passion of all human hopes." "It said that the weak alone is stronger than might of many thrones. "It said that to be silent under wrong is to play the slave; but to speak for men and the freedom is the highest courage. "It said that progress never sleeps, and that all the angels are not locked within the gates of paradise." "It said that God gates made the sunshine, also made the door that race is a word of pride and learning and that humanity alone is sublime." "It said to thrones, 'You shall fall.' It said to slaves, 'Be patient, and you shall rise.' It kept its word, for thrones did fall, and slaves did rise from chains and stand erect like men!" He made an impression plan for America, which there should be but one people under one flag and one God. He spoke under suspices of the Massachusetts, chairman, Hiram Smith, E. W. Moore, J. S.

Reports of the various committees were received and assigned. The other respective assignments. The order called for and the report on organic union was submitted to the conference report occasioned considerable discussion and peated at times as if the conference would be torn asunder. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville, Tennessee, obtained himself to the report, said in part: Saturday the Ninth Session Committee discussed the session Cleavus presiding. The minutes of the previous meetings were adopted. On motion by one of the delegates of the conference, the rules were suspended before the order of objection to the dex was ordered. The reason of the suspension of the rules and immediate election ordered was due to the fact that the committee had been on account of serious illness in the family. He was unanimously elected for the ensuing four years. It was announced to the conference that the committee was complying. The conference proceeded orderly in the business of the session. The report of the Episcopal com- mendations that no bishops be elected at this conference was approved. There was some disappointment, as it was understood that a number of dis- commendations that no bishops be elected they had heard the call from the Lord to throw around them the mantel of the bishopric.

"Let me ask my white friends how many members of my Race and my College and Lexington, Tenn., felt like purchasing Liberty bonds last week. They could and the bonds, but where was the bond? The children. The great audience cheered in and again. The mighty speaker was hot on the heels of lyncher and lynching. Such a crowd greeted Colonel Simmons as has not been seen here in years. The famous Kentucky theater was literally packed from orchestra to space allotted to people filled up the space allotted to people. Then gladly shared seats with the Race. The daily newspapers announced in their stories of the meeting that Colonel Simmons was more enlightened in the spirit of the American Government than any speaker on the platform of the present day. Over 400 voices—the Roscoe Conkling Simmons Choral under direction of Mrs. John W. Egester, furnished music in abundance. Dr. S. H. George was master of cereal and platform were the city officials and the white leaders of the pulpit. Colonel Simmons was introduced in an eloquent speech by W. C. Bufford. Roscoe At Hits Best Colonel Simmons spoke here only a few months ago; but he spoke this time the fort for two hours and a half. The orator was indignant over the accusation that German propaganda was at work among his Race. The flower of McCracken, white and Colored, cheered the wonderful word pictures of the master speaker as he walked through governments and the world of genius. And Race members, came from all the surrounding territory to greet the great defender. PROF. REID'S DOUBLE BOBS UP IN TENNESSEE Columbia. Tenn.

Dr. Hayncs Addresses Teachers NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE NEWS SERVICE Nashville, Tenn. — George J. Haynes of Fisk University addressed the Parent-Teachers' Association of Pearl High school at its month-long meeting of the exodus from the South, declaring that the Race was leaving the South without the advice of leaders, and that the school could lose those who endeavored to prerun them return.

Chirropody Manlueuring Electrolysis Marcel Waving Hair Dressing Pressing By a Haitian Undoubtedly much of the criticism and unjust assertions made concerning the are made either wrongly or ignorantly in the immigration laws from unreliable sources; therefore I take this opportunity to correct these false impressions and to raise this little Hope in the estimation of the American public. Contrary to general belief, Haiti is not a possession of either France or the United States, but a free and independent country, through the heroes of our ill-liked ancestors Toussaint Louverture and J. J. Dessallines. Under the guidance of these great bloodshed, Haiti emerged in the year 1804, a sovereign state and the greatest of all the West Indies Islands. The names of these men who fought and bleed for the freedom through the world with great plains. George Hinnman, Jr., in a series of articles which appeared in the *New York Times* in 1981, impressively that the people of Haiti are savages who have been in a continuous state of civil war and have no independent independence. Such, however, is not the case. These periodic civil upheavals in Haiti have at no time reached the level of an army operation by an American mob lunching expedition, but have been rather, a vigorous protest against an unpopular government. The country should better understand-and appreciate this sentiment than the United States of America who took the war against the British government. Haiti called by her friends 'Queen of islands,' and by her enemies, unhappy with the lack of music, art and agriculture, and in fact the favorite resort of tourists the world over, because of its tempo. The language of this island is French, its schools, theaters and hotels are French and illicite whose wines, tobacco and spirits are second only to Paris. In addition to these advantages, Haiti holds a very strategic position geographically, a fact which makes her a very desirable possession. Oh Haiti! land of liberty. raise thy red and blue flag, emblem of freedom, so that we might live and die in freedom's land. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF WAR SPEAKS Special to the Defender ST.

E.G. FULTON ALL AROUND THE TOWN Inspired by the remarkable distribution of the world war's most famous picture, "Colored Man No Slacker," Jackson, president of the bureau having charge of the patron distribution, announces a special offer for agents. This offer will be published in detail in an advertisement in the Defender, a newspaper charged with the distribution of $100 in gold among the agents selling the largest number of pictures during a specified period. In case of a duplicate prizes will be given. Hundreds of letters requesting agents' orders and terms are pouring into Mr. Langston's office daily. The office is a beehive of activity and two extra clerks are required to handle the matter. One of the interesting developments is the large number of school teachers, both men and women, who are becoming distributors of the great paper. They are ready made more money in a few days than they are paid salaries at their work by the month. Be on the alert for the great offer on week. Address all communications, letters and money orders to Tony Langston, 3135 State street, Chicago, IL. As a result of a family quarrel, Will Boyer, 2557 State street, stabbed his back with a large sized pocket knife, blade of which struck the left shoulder blade and produced an ugly and dangerous wound. The blade of the knife was thrown at the door of the impact with the shoulder. Mrs. Boyer was rushed to Dr. Driver's office. Thirteen and a half miles where her wound was dressed, Officer of the Fourth precinct, Forty-eighth street and Wabash avenue, was passing on a car when the affair took place, and arrested Boyer. Hiram Holland Dies in Private Hospital It has been learned that Hiram Holland was a time editor of the Champion Magazine, periodical once published in this city, died at a private sanitarium in this city, and was buried in his friend, Mr. Holmes, the artist, Mr. Holland's remains were shipped to his home for burial. Mr. Holland is remembered by the message that the Imperial cleremian led by a black man. He published the story in the above named magazine in the Easter issue one year ago, but the utility as a poet was unquestioned. In the lobby of the Great Northern hotel, Jackson boulevard and Dearborn street, there was an air of festivity and glamour. The hotel was also as four misses—Rebecca Harris, Saadie Shepherd, Mamie Narcisse and Maud Johnson—made their debut as well-known, well-known hostels.

BRAZIL TO PROTEST AMERICAN LYNCHINGS Rio de Janeiro, May 17.—Because of the success of the Dyersburg, Tenn. U. S., the story of which reached this city through a New York paper, a commission of citation of the story in all the principal newspapers of this city, together with the declaration that they intend to enact a government "hummenting such and currences in the grand republic of the North, which protends the most notable heroes of the era."

Woman Was Charged with Being Accessory to Death of Husband Viola Culpepper was acquitted by a jury last Friday evening, May 10, in judges Jacob H. Hopkins' court, in the case of complicity in the murder of shoeshub. Eddie Culpepper, at their home, 2017 '47ern avenue, on the highway, was the victim of who actually did the killing, pleaded guilty and is now awaiting sentence by the court. Thomas was a most unusual as well as heinous one, for the testimony showed that Thomas had fired the shot which killed Eddie Culpepper. Thomas was asleep on and the night preceding the shooting had attempted to poison the victim by putting carbolic acid in a glass of water to drink. Thomas, who made a full confession on the morning of the murder, was called to the stand as a court's witness and described without notice how he had shot and killed Eddie. The motive for the crime brought forth many contradictory statements, and as the story was unfolded a triangle within a triangle was shown, for a context contemplated that the accepted lower of Vloia Culpepper, while the defense produced witnesses to show that Mrs. Beulah Watkins, 2655 South Park avenue, was a woman in a room, often spending half a day there. Thomas claimed that Vloia Culpepper had begged him repeatedly to kill her husband, but that he had laughed at her pleas. He also claimed that on a nearby trunk with her sat on a nearby trunk with her baby in her arms, while her husband was shot to death, but when Vloia Culpepper took the stand in her own defense to questions by attorneys, Solomon Hinton and W. E. Mollison, she testified that she was born in Selma, Ala., and that she had attended school until first year normal. Q. How long have you been married? A. Seven years. Q. When did you come to Chicago? A. June 7, 1917. A. Two-one dead and one living. Attorney: Now go ahead and tell the court just what happened on the morning of the murder. The severe cross examination failed to shake her testimony and Attorney W. E. Mollison in his closing argument for the defense made a masterpiece of heralding a long-didtribute to Detective Sergent Middleton and Scott of the Third police precinct, for it was their kind and humane treatment of Mrs. Culpepper that led to the confession of Thomas and the solving of the mystery.

And Axain, OIL is the reason. You read about the Trapshooters Co. which brought in the huge gushers at Eldorado, Kan., and made $40,000 for each Investor of $100. Ter- haps you read the headlines in some daily paper: “Twenty-Three Kansas City Men Made Million- aires by Blick Gold From Eureka Wells.” and the story that followed an how Hale, a former rail- road conductor, made fifteen million dollars, Again, you muy haye read of the amazing career of Harry St. Clair, who rose from a drug clerk to a multi- millionaire in a few short yeurs, and how In only eleven months his Oil interest curned nearly nine sud 4 half million dollars, Then there was the 1914 OUL Co. which paid $57,400.00 for every $100 Invested in eighteen months; the Coline Co, which paid $83,000.00 for every $176.00 invested, and the Heretofore the Black Man has been compelled to invest his money in White Oil Companies.

In a lively championship had little trouble in outpointing his opponent. Page was given one of the least trimesters he ever faced, and had his night off without being on, the chances are that Joe could have put him to sleep. Buddy has a tendency to cover up mistakes, and has built up a bundle of credit for holding, as he knew as soon as he opened up Joe was his master. The loser started out like a whirlwind, but hasted only one round. The stiff fist from the thighmass caused the bout. The bout was for ten rounds. In the preliminaries, Joe Davis of Chicago drew in six rounds with Kid Harris, and from the thighmass held Kid Harris of Peoria to a draw in Eight fast rounds. Kid Harris gave way eight pounds. Gans is one of the best players that has ever played around those parts in a four round by him using the old master's name he is not doing the old boxer any discreet, as he has everything the original Joe had, little bit more. Lou Goldman, who is manning Gans, thinks that he is the best light weight in the world and is ready to match him against any of them. 15,000 SEE ROYALS BEAT Totals: 1 36 19 10 Totals: 3 36 19 10 Royals ... 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 Lions ... 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 Lions left on bench - Lions 11, Lions 7, Two base hits - Sanpo, Alen, McLennan, Thomas Lions left on bench - Sanpo, McLennan, Thomas Lions left on bench - Sanpo, McLennan, Thomas Lions left on bench - Sanpo, McLennan, Thomas Allen, Double plays, Town and Sanpo, Brooks Allen, Double plays, Town and Sanpo, Brooks Allen, Double plays, Town and Sanpo, Brooks Allen, Double plays, Town and Sanpo, Brooks Sanpo, Off-Cookfield, 2 off, Williams, 3, Strike out By-Cookfield, by T.

RED CAPS OPEN SEASON WITH A VICTORY New York, May 17.—The Pennsylvania Red Caps opened their 1918 season by defending the strong Hillsdale to Philadelphia, then to 4. The Red Caps scored 2 runs in the first inning and 3 in the second, taking an early lead. The Hillsdale came out well, but Philadelphia came out not to score any in the third, but did not score any in the fourth.

TO BATTLESNAKE KID A barking dog never bites, therefore few people pay any attention to your, harango in last week's Indianapolis paper, If you are anxious to fight Joe Gans and really mean business, read this: Gans will fight you in Indianapolis, the entire proceeds of the bout to go to some charitable institution of the Race there, that to be decided upon by three editors of Race papers in that city. However, you must post a side bet of $250. If you are so good as you think you are and feel that the sporting element will back you, which they should if you possess the real goods, then the side bet is a more consideration. Wire me if you mean business or get into your hole and stay covered up and let the public be at peace. MR. FAN, Sporting Editor. Grand Central Red Caps Win in Ninth New York, May 17—Chief Williams!

The imminent Morgan from the car at a distance of 100 feet forced slight injuries and shock, U. BEHIND THE PRISON WALLS Chicago's Biggest Event Camp Grant Team Will Come Again Next Sunday, and Will Bring Band Camp Grant's ball team, the One Hundred and Eighty-third Bridegade, will again invade Chicago, headed by the Chicago band, that caused all Chicago's sit up take notice. This band, without doubt, led by Drum Major Cass of Pythian fame and trained by our own Arthur Sensation last Sunday despite the rain. The continued drizzle caused the postponement of the game and caused hundreds of people who braved the soldier boys to be disappointed. Foster had to rearrange his schedule, which called for the Pooria Three-11 game, to give the Chicago people their last chance to get a peek at these BY EUGENE CURTISS Special to the Defender It is a common occurrence to pick up your daily paper and read that John Jones has been sentenced to five years for a false prison, and possibly that is the reason he has him, but have you ever had the desire to know how John Jones spent those succeeding years and how his future would be. It is the purpose of this article to enlighten you upon the welfare of John Jones as he is treated in one of the United States penal institutions in the United States. The progress of the automobile industry in the last decade has been centered in and around Detroit, Mich., and the large influx of people which always follows the wave of prosperity, a large number of our people should also be involved. Also also the percentage of crime. The Defenders' representative has therefore selected the state prison at Jackson, Mich., for his investigation and has the following interesting discoveries. The prison is under the direct supervision of a board of control, consisting of three active members and one executive. These members are appointed by the governor biannually and serve for six years. At the present time the board consists of Gloe, Albert E. Shepard, Edward Freindson Hudson, Mieh, capella, and Michael B. Brayne, Detroit, Mieh, lawyer, and Charles A. Blayney, Kalamazoo, Mieh, merchant. The board, which meets monthly to direct the policies of the institution, appoints a managing director of the prison which carries on various industries, including the manufacturing and selling of binder twine, canned products, brick and tile, blooms, granite and monumental products, printing and bookbinding. Upon learning that the warden is the president of two banks, one trust company, a director of commercial enterprises, we wonder why he leaves so lucrative a field to devote his time and energy to the men in prison. He informs us that he not only gives time to the men in prison, but also gives any information whatsoever, but that he is also chairman of the state Red Cross committee and several other patriotic organization militaries that has long been his hobby, and when the war called Warden Disque into service Mr. Freesdorf gladly welcomed the opportunity to serve the country, and to help the men in prison with the work of piongey through which Jackson prison has so appropriately earned the title of America's Model Prison". The warden presses a button and summons a stenographer to be placed at our service and we are surprised and pleased when we find him a young man of our Race (mature), who subsequently displays marked interest in the few minute clerks of the warden's force and has earned the respect and confidence of all the officers. And the Race so uniquely represented, we find upon inquiry that all men entering the prison are placed THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FORM CHART OF THE DERBY RACE After-mirror moved up fast at three-quarter and slipping through near the ball roll, drew in the ball drive. Ecoboe went forward from the start, making a differential effort in his drive. Just before the ball roll, most nearly speed, but found the distance a tride too far. War Cloud not much interference at first turn, but rounded well up to the last quarter, where he dropped back. Swell Co仑 went up three-quarter. James T. Clark was sharply cut off when he moved up strong at the half mile. boys in action, as their presence at Mr. Travis will catch the first ball Camp Gunt is to be very short. Mrs. Urs. George C. Hall, aided by the girls from the Amateur minstrels' comment, sold solid funds during the war, and gave good goods for the boys to use over there in France. The band led by Charles Travis, real cat man, will be followed by a copition committee of 109 or more citizens who will present their names to Mr. Travis at his office before Sunday's performance, the players and band being the host of Mr. Travis. This same compliment was paid to the band last Sunday by the honorable gentleman, who is member of the exemption board No. 4. In first grade regardless of color or denomination, and if they possess any special talent along with line they will be followed in a we learned by many other examples. We are directed to the warden's residence, where an inmate butler is placed and instructed to anticipate our levy need and want. This being Friday, we decide to spend the day investigating the prison and to learn about the interior, and Sunday to learn how the men's recreation period is spent. A car with an inmate driver is assigned to the country. Questioning the driver, who apparently has nothing to do but ride around freely with no feelings of rebellion for nearly ten years and was tenured for life. He hopes in six more years to be released on parole like another Reverend, who we learn, was one of the Reverends in doing a few months previous. The prison owns or controls nearly 5,900 acres of choice farm land which is tilled extensively by inmate trustees who write weekly newsletters of white men. These, we learn, mostly came from the cities and without any particular aim in life or vacation to follow, drifted until they landed in prison. Quite the reverse, they are eagerly sought after by neighboring farmers and successfully farmed and anxiously await the day when they are free and can have a farm of their own. The men working on the various farms are eagerly sought after by neighboring farmers and diligently caring for good places to work under the best of care and environments upon their release on parole. We spend the greater portion of the day on the variably sized farms, 2,200 acres were cultivated, which consisted of 260 acres pea, 40 acres barley, 114 acres oats, 150 acres clover, 40 acres early potatoes, 100 acres sweet corn, 21 acres garden truck, 318 acres tomatoes, 20 acres rape and buckwheat, 17 acres millet, 100 acres late potatoes, 55 acres cabbage, 40 acres affluent, 150 acres navy beans, 175 acres hay, 15 acres kidney beans, 7 acres corn, 15 acres berries, 40 acres orchard. While there is a population of 1,250 inmates, of whom 14 per cent are of our race, only : 1 per cent of the total number of men of our faces. To be exact, out of forty escapes all but two were white men, one of whom has since been adjusted insane and the other has been forfeited all his trusty privileges. We note the many new buildings and learn they were built entirely of immigrant labor for men whom we own brickmasonry placeries. We return to the prison, greatly surprised at the sight seen on our day's trip; that men convicted of felony were held in the prison without any restraints or guards other than the occasional farm boss. Some of these men have been farming for years and will shortly be released on parole, but are always living in the hope that they will secure commutations. We were particularly interested in noting that one farm was reserved for the elderly, where nature is nursing them back to life after becoming practically hopeless wrecks from the fast, dissipated life. In the evening we visit the schoolrooms, where hundreds of men both races attend each evening. Men whose schooling was previously neglected complete graded school system, in addition which special courses are taught. The scene impresses and reminds us of our industrial colleges, where mechanical training is taught along with bookkeeping. We spend Saturday investigating the various industries and are pleased to see that every shop and plant has our labor and mechanics performing innumerable tasks, due, perhaps, to the financial incentive given them, as the policy of the institution permits paying the inmates pro rate with the profits, and last year we were able to use the money is used by the men in supporting their families, buying correspondence courses, and we might state that every study that is possible to teach by mail is used by the men in having a grocery store in which they can buy practically everything that the reader can obtain from his corner grocer, but his purchases are restricted to a given amount to encourage them to save the men ample funds when leaving. The labor is performed in two shifts, day and night, and, being Saturday, there is an afternoon show in the room for the women to attend an evening show for day workers. We decide to attend the evening show and continue our inspection to the cell blocks over the room to show one of the small cells of the famous east wing that calls back to the primitive days, and with a stretch of imagination you see the tortures surfaced. These small cells, $3\frac{1}{2}$ cells, are as fast as possible being rebuilt into cells $x8$, with hot and cold water, toilet, electric light and ventilation in these cells now in use and are eagerly sought after by the men. Also we find any number of shower baths, and with clean lines and clothes supplied each cell has the same lineariness of the cell blocks or the appearance of the men. We also view the dormitory, where dozens of large rooms are set up with every modern convenience, including bath, forms a surrounding for the men as normal on the outside. There are several rooms set up for discrimination, but because the men Mr. Travis will catch the first ball thrown, which will be pitched by Maj. Robert R. Jackson, the newly elected mayor of Chicago. It is hoped that the people of Chicago will come out early and make this a gala affair, it probably being the last time we will be able to do any thing. Mr. Johnson will go to more Chicago boys out at Camp Grant than went away with the Eighth regiment. Mr. Johnson is scheduled to open the game for the Grant men. If Redding is in form it is expected that Lieut. Alberga will shoot him in. It will be a game well worth seeing, two games must accomplish—one a good game and another an effort to help a worthy cause. or [themselves desired it. We visit the large dining hall, in which 1,460 men can be accommodated at one sitting, and notice the many men sentenced here and there; in fact, men in the room part in the culinary department of 26 men. The inmates eat all their meals in the dining room, a vast improvement over the old system of feeding the men; the food is plentiful and wholesome, serving the least products that are raised on the prison farms. During certain music periods is music and violins, banquets, guitars, accordion, and string instruments. The kinds, can be heard, some reflecting unusual talent on the player and others that you quickly recognize as the efforts of a beginner. During certain months the men have the yard three times a week, day, where they play baseball. Last year they had a league of eight teams representing as many industries. It is significant that the mechanics, half of the equipment on place, won the pennant. There is also a team representing the prison, who compete with outside teams each Saturday, and again we find the Face represented in fact, the highest batting average for the prison, held by a man who was not white. We take a trip up to the hospital and are surprised to find how modern science has found its way to the in- prison. It has its separate rooms or rooms, and it is a miniature hospital in every detail. Here, too, the Race is represented by capable attendants. The emptiness of the sick rooms amazes us and we are told that the sick rooms of sick calls is less than 2 per cent. After an interesting day we attend the evening show and as we enter the chapel we hear the patriotic tune of Good-bye, Broadway: Hello, France. "Good-bye, Broadway," is the name of a member of the Race. A late "Triangle" seven-reel feature is offered the men, after which they witen 30 minutes of wrestling by outside talent. We times includes boxing or other wrestleville entertainers. The atmosphere, stage, scene effect, all remind us of an outside show. The stage setting and scene and electrical effects are often learned, in the form of learn, is the prison electrician and also one of the leading promoters of shows and minstrels given by inmate talent, both for the inmates and outside public. In invariably in all of such amusing. In fact, we learn that when special musical talent is desired for entertainment at the warden's residence that our entertainers are sought, in club, in which our men take an active part. "Realization" which is now assuming national interest, was written and dramatized by members of the dramatic club and the proceeds of its fundraiser fund over to a "soldiers' benefit fund." Sunday is observed in a spiritual and practical manner. Several services at different periods, from Catholic afternoons are devoted to the meeting of the Pathfinder club, of which we are pleased to learn that a young man of who has saint his small earnings and time in the study of law while in prison. To attend one of these meetings is rare treat and of such local importance represented. One Sunday you may hear a state-wide known orator, lecturer, or specialist, while on another some learned jurist or expert will adhere to the rules of the best of musical organization. The tary of the band is a member of our Race, and, needless to say, the musicians who take active parts are not all streets of Jackson and their services are greatly sought after, giving concerts quite frequently, on which occasions the chapel is crowded with the patronize regardless of price. The inmates also are entertained by outside talent, such as college glee clubs, dance companies, dancers, etc. who appear at the Jackson vaudeville houses and are glad to come to the prison and entertain the inmates. The inmates also appeared on the prison platform, such as Kreisler the violinist, Edgar A. Guest the humorist, W. T. Orr the comedian, and others, who comes under the eye of any of the Race's entertainers or lecturers they will win everlasting thanks by offering them a chance to see if they happen to go in, Jackson We have attempted to show you the important inner workings, etc., of the men in Jackson prison in all branches, the civic, the civic parties, and the writer ventures to say that in no town, community, factory, institution or district of equal population is it possible to find our men in the same civic parties, trades or professions. You ask, "Why do our men, with such ability to do those things, bind in prison, and be able to spend 50 per cent of them acquire that special training while in prison, and of the remainder who possessed such training before coming to prison two-thirds of the time, one job to another through prudence, and, becoming discouraged, quickly turn to an avenue of least resistance. The knowledge given every enconcriment to progress along his line if he proves to the officials that he is willing to play the game honorably. Before we give you the knowledge welfare is given serious personal --- Churchill Downs Scene of Classic Running of Thoroughbreds BY FRANK YOUNG (Better Known as Mister Fan) CHURCHILL' DOWNS, LOUISVILLE, KY., Saturday Afternoon. Surrounded by the blueblows of Kentucky, I find myself before the grandstand than ever a man stood before. The old, rustic states, army officers of high rank from Camp Taylor, those representing the French and British governments, men high in the public life of the nation, men who have served to dishwasher, all rubbed oblives and vied with each other at America's most beautiful race truck, Churchill Downs. All There and Then Some People came from here everywhere. I saw the leaders of the various races in America. One Chihuahua cleaned up a neat fortune on the winner of the Derby. There was Col. Rosemary Sims, who came to Col. Sims's guests, to come from other cities, Kentucky and her wonderful attitles, her mint juleps, her highballs made of Old Taylor and Kentucky Taverna, her beautiful women and finesse of genius in the country. Ah, if one could only spend his life among such noble aristocracy! Old J. Pluvius tried to spell things, however, from early morn till shortly after midnight, and was trapped in torrents. The truck was a sea of mud. Then about half an hour before the first race Old Sol gleamed with his life in the play, though a warm that it was uncomfortable. But the crowd of over forty thousand didn't care. Those of the Race, who numbed with his life in the play, ploughed with the riot of Hockey Simpson, who placed in the only two races in — attention by the officials, who see that he is paroled to a place where his life is not safe and with backing of the riot, he every advantage for ultimate success is open to him. Some of the largest employers of men in Michigan compete in sociological departments, and a man with the recommend of the prison authorities has considerable advantage in securing opportunities to make his life a success, unless any inclination to succeed the way is usually open to him. If the man fails he should not blame his failure, but has been delinquent in his opportunities. After thinking the warden for his kindness extended, we leave the white or black, is not awakened to the duty he owes himself by reaching up and grasping the true, honorable and pleasing hand of success that is offered him, his case is indeed hard to less. Thus John Jones in due time learns to cope with the world, and has become a successful, law-abiding and honorable citizen, and may be your next-door neighbor. Who can tell? The Call of the Red, White and Blue Our Country's calling from every-where where. Calling for Volunteers, let us prepare To guide the flag of our noble land. As wars before, we must fight once more. Our stand for Liberty must never cease. Let us protect this, our land so fair, Guard your family, fight to keep them free. Let each one do their share. COLLEGE STUDENT ISOLATION WALL CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Knoxville, Tennessee. May 17. While in the act of scalling the wall at the third college, Mr. Moore, a student of that school, lost his footing and fell three stories, concrete pavement below, being killed in the accident. He suffered a concussion of the brain and several broken bones in the body. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Moore, a student of East Tennessee Industrial and Mechanical College. Mrs. Moore was in Washington, D. C., and Mr. Moore was at the same time deceased by four sisters and two brothers, besides his parents. American Giants' Baseball Park 39TH ST. AND WENTWORTH AVE.

Music by 183d Brigade Band. Be on time. Don't miss this. Let each one do their share. COLLEGE STUDENT IS It was at this point that I remarked to Henry Allen, who was standing between me, and several white gentlemen, who looked like he was going to finish in the America, but that the race looked like Viel America in a walkway. I was mistaken. At the three-quarters the positions of Vivian America had suddenly allowed Eddie the lead by a length, although the fifth jammed famously. War Cloud, one of the favorites, managed to get clear selling by the depot, but the bumming he received caused him to leave from the crowd that hung the roll. Larry B, who was considered a first-class player by the depot, moved into fifth position, and his backside hope that he would be the winner by suddenly making a dash for home. J. Work was right behind him, but he had to step in at the half-mile pole, which caused changes he had. Behind these great race horses came Sewell Combs, who clearly out of the running chances, and J. Work, in clear clean Eagle, who never had a ghost show from the time they left the post. By this time Exterminator had slipped into taking four lengths ahead of the first time the mud telling on all the races. The latter was still two lengths ahead of War Cloud. Lucky B was well beat The Wonderful Finish The wise ones now began to see that Derby honors his between Escheola and Viva America, chasing him hit the stretch. Thebum and bum which swept the crowd when the horses neared the homestretch suddenly, the fenced cheering. The sport of the time formed firm hold on the forty-cold thousand, which strained every muscle in their hands to see the wonderful finish. Wrenen yellow yelled like schoolhouse. Down the street like the pans drawing cards, jackets riding like misses of the situation, mud from all directions. Twenty yards from the coach, the punter had gone into the lead his twelfth, Escheola could not overcome, and his rider seemed unable to aid him. And he was that way. Exterminator (No. 5), who was the jungle race, a full length behind because of this ridden, Viva America third. This filly hind the best chance of winning at the end, but the jungle race, she set weakened her in the back by a couple of lengths followed in the Soo Combs and American Furie a had last. The prices were huge up and a green swept the crowd. The winner, with his price $129, won the jacket and $12.10 to show. Wise one thought the price should have been $100. $25. The prices were made on $25, nothing under $25. The other races were of minor importance to the crowd. In the fourth race were the members of the Race, who were scratched, owing to the heavy rain. He was raceed, to the fourth race, with Simpson up. With urging by his rider Jim finished third, to sixth. Henry Roberts, ridden by Simpson, and was forced to take the turn. He ever, the clever rider came down the stretch like a bolt of lightning, and had a distance been a little further he would have won instead of finishing second. Visitors From Chicago and Other Cities I saw among the crowd persons of many cities, especially Chicago, from many cities, especially Chicago, and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, leading citizens of St. Louis: Jerry Palmer, William Bottoms, Dale Hale Parker, Dr. Hale Jackson and party, Tom Cole and wife, the Miss Alberta Hunter, Miss Carlo Ward, Johnny Williams, "Pop" Lewis, all of Chicago. In the party of Col. Dr. Adolph Nauier, Louisville, were Dr. Adolph Nauier, Nashville, Mr. Cann, Dr. T. Wendell, Dr. George R. Craig, all of Lexington, Kv.: Dr. E. Underwood, Thomas K. Knob, Frankfort, Ky.; Attorney Walter Robins, kinsville, Kv.: Dr. J. A. Lattimore and Henry Allen of Louisville, and the writer from Chicago. Notes As soon as the last race was run, while about ten minutes to 7, the rain stood down again and kept up all night. Lucky day for the some who took a chance. There was a white fellow who had been partaking freely of the old Kentucky beverage. He had a humch. Two lives were lucky. Exterminator was No. 5 in the fifth race.

The American Proprietory Co., Boston, Mass. MID-VALE OIL & GAS CO. Now Have Three Producing Wells We Are Not the Oldest Company in the Business, But You Must Admit That We Are the Most Progressive 8ATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918 MID Now We Are You M PETER H. HARRIS J. J. ALLEN PRESIDENT I have proved my ability to the white man, now I am going to prove my ability to my own people. I have come from the big, sunny South, Tennessee from a little farm near Clarksville where I was born and reared. I came to Missouri about seven (7) years ago and after spending about one (1) year selling books, toilet articles, etc., I decided to enter the insurance business I accepted a position with the Clover Leaf Insurance Company as agent and soon worked my way up to District Manager. I have made many thousand dollars for the Clover Leaf, and have made a record with the company for honesty and square dealing, as well as with the people with whom I have worked. And allow me to say that am proud of that record. In this work I have received a practical education which I believe has qualified me to build up a business that would make millions for my people as well as myself. After investigating the oil business I find it is the biggest and quickest paying business in the world. After searching through the oil fields of Kansas I have succeeded in securing one of the most valuable oil leases in that section I have resigned my position with the Clover Leaf to give my full time in building up the Mid-Vale, and I ask your co-operation that we may as soon as possible begin turning into cash and profit the unlimited amount of crude oil that is now lying unmolested under our present lease and also other that we have an option on which we hope to be able to secure. As I foresaid the oil business is the biggest paying business in the world if the business is managed by wideawake, hustling and honest business men, and let me say to you here that my people now have the greatest opportunity that they have ever had to make a real success of the oil business and that they probably will have again in the future. As an illustration, some of the most valuable oil property in Oklahoma today is owned by the Negroes and Indians and that the white people have oblited them much that they have learned to be afraid of the white man and won't sell to him, consequently the white man is now using the supposed smart negro as a "catspaw" to buy these leases for him for probably a few thousand dollars, when it proves to be worth millions of dollars. Now why don't we put our money together and buy up these leases for ourselves and develop them or hold them and sell them at an enormous profit? I could give you a number of illustrations to prove to you that success is sure for the Mid-Vale, but I believe you are convinced of that fact already. I am frank to say to you that we need more money for development purposes as did the Harry St. Clair, the Standard Oil Company, the Bell Telephone Company, the United States Steel Corporation and most other corporations when they were first organized. But we are not asking you to give us anything. We are asking you to invest with us and help share the large profits that are to be derived. If you would stop and count up the money that you and I and our Race have given to charity, such as Y. M. C. A. Hospitals, Churches and a number of other institutions, it would run far into the millions. This money we expect no immediate returns from and all of these institutions are worthy to be helped, but if our people would become interested in putting their money and brains together to develop business on a big scale, we would not have to wonder what our girls and boys are going to do when they come out of our high schools and colleges and we would really be able to donate to charity without feeling it. I could say many things along this line which I am sure would not add anything to your storehouse of knowledge, for you know the needs of the Race as well as I, but I do hope that I have said enough to impress you of our earnestness in this undertaking and that you will join hands with us financially and let us make the Mid-Vale one of the strongest corporations in the country. If you will buy at least one hundred shares of stock in our company we will. Buy as much of Mid-Vale as you possibly can. Whatever amount that you buy will make you money. Show us that we have your moral support, clip out the application blank and mail at once. We were organized just a little over three months ago. Since that time we have drilled three wells, and they are all good producers. This will prove to the most skeptical person that we are using our stockholders' money for developing our property only. We believe that our present income from our three wells will pay our stockholders about 100 per cent annually in dividends. We don't expect to use one penny of the dividend money for further development, and that is why we are offering a few more shares of stock for sale at the very low price of $2.00 per share, for the further drilling fund. This is, without a doubt, the best oil investment on the market today. Remember, this is not a speculation now, but a real, tangible investment. STOP HOWLING For fifty years the Negro in this country has been howling "Race prejudice," "No opportunity," "Discrimination," "Closed doors," "Lynching and unfair treatment." At the same time he has built over a million dollars' worth of churches, a half million dollars' worth of Y. M. C. A.s, untold millions in promiscuous and possibly doubtful charities, a billion dollars for booze and a good time. Yet in these fifty years he has only one big, nation-wide business institution valued at a quarter million dollars and representing combined and organized capital. This fact is a tragic comment on the Negro's progress in half a century. But in fifty years he has steadily and manfully and willingly contributed to the success of hundreds of thousands of business propositions brought forward by his white brother. He has seen with his own eyes gigantic corporations grow up in a decade-Railroads, Telegraph, Manufacturing Establishments, Newspapers, Dry Goods Houses, Shoe Stores, Banking Institutions, and what not. He has indeed in many instances been the mighty driving power which has made possible the success of the nation's greatest financial institutions. He has been a cheerful contributor to the other man's unlimited suc- Our Well No. 4 Will be coming in in a very few days. We were very fortunate to be able to secure the services of the fastest and best drillers in the Humboldt fields, and they also own the largest and best drilling outfit in that section of the country. We expect to drill at least 20 or 30 wells on our 160 acres in this tract before the drill stops, if the good, loyal members of my race will continue to rally to our support by buying this stock in the future as they have in the past. While our boys are going to France to light for our democracy as well as democracy for other races of the world, let us who remain at home put our money together and build up a large business for ourselves that we may be able to enjoy this democracy when it does come, as the other races will enjoy it, and it's sure to come.

Our Fortune Is Made, I Believe We expect to have two drills going at the same time in a very few days. We have just bought ten acres of oil property which is very close to the largest well that has ever been brought in in Allen Co. Kansas, with a stock of 60-bank oil, only other than that was ever brought in in Allen County, Kan. The geologist claims that, judging from the formation of the earth, this pool of oil extends to our lease, and, if so, this 10-acre tract alone will be worth $1,000,000. 1. The hind-sighted man—never sees opportunity until it is passed. 2. The back-boneless man—always has to ask someone's advice. 3. The "only" honest man—must have the control. No one else honest enough. 4. The spendthrift—never has anything to invest. 5. The suspicious man—always afraid someone will rob him. 6. The conceited man — knows where all the best things are without being told. 7. The modern Shylock—believes in nothing but the "pound of flesh" mortgage. 8. The narrow gauge man—refuses to listen to anything "out of his line." 9. The unfortunate man—has a friend who invested and lost. 10. The fool—thinks a thing worthless or if wouldn't be offered to him. These chaps never get ahead. They simply can't—they are afraid. But the world is popped with the other kind as well—we want them.

In fifty years the Negro in this country has done more, by his refusal to co-operate and organize his wealth, to shut and lock the door of opportunity in his own face than all external forces combined.

It is a mystic word which, when properly pronounced, opens wide the door to untold wealth and power. Where is the big money today? In Oil! Where is the Oil?

It will take you a lifetime of labor to get this money, while one good investment in MID-VALLEY may put you on your feet in it. Get out of the rut: do something for yourself. You are worth just as much to yourself as you are to your boss. Fortunes are being made in oil every day. Millions of dollars are being spent to increase production. Investors who get into good companies while the stock is cheap stand every chance to make big profits. MID-VALE is worthy of your confidence. Put your trust and a few dollars in MID-VALE today. * PAGE ELEVEN CO. Wells ss, But essive O.ells Who Are the Men Behind the Mid-Vale? J. J.

"Garden Sass" Saves Wheat for Soldier Boys THE LITTLE CHILD The troubled eyes of the little child gazed into mine as if they were seeking the answer to the cause of the rift that had come into his heretofore little life. The three and one-half years later, the father had been broken because now the father lies in a pauper's grave, shot to death by the paramour of his mother; the mother has been spared to the litter of his children, the men, tried and true, that she had yielded to the illicit lioness only because, being a stranger in a large city, it was the only means she knew where she could obtain food for her little baby. It had been an eventful week in the life of the little child, for he had sat the courtroom day after day, gazing at the cause of the barrier that kept him from her loving arms. Once, when he succeeded in breaking from the arms of his父 and tried to gain his mother's his double up his little lists when the father came to him, him and his tears streaming down his little face, his attitude was a mute challenge because he wanted an answer to the question, "Why do you want to be a father?" Vioh Culppier clasped her baby with arms of freedom for the first time after weeks of suspense and anxiety, the little child, with an ardent empathy, sat her cheek and said, "My mamma. No matter what the world may think, for the truth in its entirety will never be known, for many contradictions, but for the little child the world has seen. The female has been staged, and, looked in the loving embrace of its mother's arms, contentment has usurped the place of wonder that has dwelt in the child's eyes since its father's death. Oh, how I wish that every mother could have heard that trinid; that every man could have seen him in an image that could have given the single depicted in the eyes of that woman; for, by her own act, she had staged the way of pitfalls and temptations that would have been to walk; and she then had no means of knowing whether it would be guided by her hands. So, are many Vila Cuppippa in this hand; so, mothers, think-think before you take the step that can have but one ending; think of the little ones who must suffer as the years roll on, and who will be pointed at by your offspring, and know that it will be by your own act that the malediction will be heaped upon you; and who will be quite, resolved now are it it is too late, that a little child shall lead you. Address at Grace Lyceum One of the strongest appeals to young men and women to prepare themselves to superintend the great tasks that will confront them when peace between the nation is declared, is to be a national secretary of the Y.

Conference Pass Resolutions to Inves- tigate East St. Louis Riots To the Editor of the Defender: It is a matter of note that the C.M. E. General Conference, now in session in our Race to follow your advice to ask congress to publish the result of the investigation of the East St. Louis riots until someone alone will at least realize the importance of keeping after congress and about the need of keeping up an agitation on this matter until someone alone.

An Easy Way to Reduce Flesh Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco Haven't you often wished for a medicine to reduce your flesh? Something that does not require dieting or calisthenics? Well, right here you have it in 5-grain tassco tablets, which you may secure at any drug store. They are pleasant to take, perfectly harmless and cause no restrictions of habit or eating, and reduce the flesh, little by little, until you are down to the number of pounds you wish to weigh. Too much flesh is undesirable, as most quite stout people will readily admit, and it detracts from one's good appearance; makes one clumsy and short of breath. There isn't any reason why anyone should be too stout, when there's this much-tried, perfectly satisfactory remedy at any drug store. Tassco tablets (don't forget the name) are recommended by physicians and are guaranteed to be perfectly harmless. Refuse substitutes, if you can not come to our store, we will mail tassco to you.

CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Selma, Ala., May 17—Otto Moorer (white), who was indicted for the mur- gery of a man he killed, was found gully of manslaughter at at Camden Friday, May 10, and given a fine of $20 and one hour in jail. E. R. Alston, indicted as an accessory, was charged with killing a Pleasant Pillah, this county, but the killing occurred just over the line in Wil- cox county, about three weeks ago. Citizens were seemingly indignant at miscarriage of justice in this case, but the murder occurred without any life. In the same county in which the murder occurred the value of a bird's life is worth more than a man's. The minimum fine for killing a parrotie is $20, but for killing a man is $20, with an additional hour's sentence. Pittsburg Has Two Men in the Field for Legislature Pittsburg, Pa.

OUR POSITION IN THE WAR WE HAVE ALWAYS FELT that it was unnecessary to state our attitude with reference to the war. We have been prone to take it for granted that we were considered 100 per cent American. All the traditions of the race in this country as citizens and soldiers justified this belief. But in these days of "sniping," as Lloyd George puts it, we find it necessary to reiterate that we are still living up to those traditions that are a part of our heritage. This war is as pregnant with meaning to our race as it is to any other group of American citizens. We have sent the best of our young manhood to play a part in the great theater of war in Europe, and we intend to make any and all sacrifices at home to strengthen the morale of those who are offering themselves as the supreme sacrifice along with our white brothers in arms. If we criticise, let the criticism be friendly and helpful. It is to be regretted that there are some among our people so blinded by partisanship that they are led at times into indiscreet criticism. Be it said to our credit, however, this is not due to any pro-German sentiment. We simply have the American brand of impatience, and in our anxiety to see great and quick results we use the prod too sharply. We know only too well whatever touches the interests of America touches us. When the Herod of war sprinkled the door posts of the American home he did not pass by ours. In common with the white American citizen let us put our shoulders to the wheel and push with might and main to bring this war to a successful conclusion. If we have grievances at home—and we have many of them—we will set about the task of solving these after the greater task of winning this war is over. To this end we can afford to wait patiently. Every great crisis in the history of this country has wrought for our betterment. It took a civil war between the North and South to emancipate us. Probably out of this great world struggle may come industrial and civil freedom. Already hopeful signs are appearing upon the horizon. Opportunities are opening to us along avenues that were heretofore closed. The colored soldier who fights side by side with the white American in the titanic struggle now raging across the sea will hardly be begrudged a fair chance when the victorious armies return. When Our Boys Come Back ALL OF THE FIGHTING will not be done "over there"; the home guard, and that embraces all who remain on this side of the waters, have a fight on their hands requiring the best there is in them to come out victorious. That this face may be indelibly impressed on the people, good speakers from every nation, and that the audience may be assembled. Their theme is Liberty Loans and wherever a large audience may be assembled. Their theme is Liberty Loans and wherever a special stress is laid on the importance of loaning our government money to conduct the war, much is said about keeping the home fires burning; yet, how many fully realize what that entails? What do we know about economy, as compared to that practiced by our allies? Scarcely a necessity have we, as yet, we have been slightly limited in our supply of coal, sugar and flour, but the need for these necessities and luxuries have advanced in price, but our income has advanced also. How, then, are we making this great sacrifice demanded? The answer is found in the records of the War Department, where millions of our youth have offered their lives to defend their country. The answer is found in every home in the country, rich or poor, who alike have given of their lives to defend their country, backed by the folks at home. In a country as rich as this, where living is dangerous scale and still plenty is left, there is small need for harmful sacrifice. For it is harmful to the life of any nation to have its people dissatisfied and disgruntled over conditions for which there is no good reason. If we follow out to the letter the advice our government gives regarding conserving certain resources, we will not be necessary that we take the theater and other forms of amusement. Actual loss and suffering will come soon enough if the war game is played very long. When our boys come back they will be filled with new ideas. If they were made to forget that they were men in this country, they will be made to realize that they are men—in every sense of the word—in the older countries. They have undertaken willingly a good sized mans job, and will accept themselves as men. They will be willing to listen, and that happens on those dark yesterdays will not happen on the bright tomorrow. That portion of the other nine-tenths who fail to make mental note of this is due for a rude awakening. Democracy must begin at home before the doctrine can be spread effectively. To force other people to do what you fail to do yourself is heaping doses of fire on your own head. To make the blind see is our task; the boys come home. Every barrier must be broken down. Justice must be relied upon by a government of the people. If one-tenth of the people are good enough to fight and die with the other nine-tenths, they are good enough to enjoy every privilege accorded good citizens. The voice of the American people has always been raised for right and justice for those beyond their shores—it is now time for them to sweep their own doorsteps. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE are learning that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is their most effective weapon to kill prejudice and discrimination in every form, and are joining the organization by the hundreds in all parts of the country. What a power twelve million people banded together for a common cause will be. No self-respecting man or woman can afford to be a slacker in this cause. The membership fee is only one dollar, and it pays big returns. JOIN TODAY. TO SEE THE CROWS ON the "Stroll" any warm night one would think another draft might be a blessing in disguise. HAMPTON'S FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT PUBLISHED Hampton, Va., May 17—Dr. George P. Phoenix, vice principal of Hampton institute since 1908, in his annual report to the board of trustees discussed the growth of Hampton in 1958. Dr. Hollis R. Frisell and reviewed the growth of Hampton during fifty years. The annual enrollment at Hampton has been as follows: First decade, 252 students; second decade, 404 students; fourth decade, 75. These figures include Hampton's neighborhood school and summer school. He said the people of the North believed in the type of school taught at Hampton and contributed to its success. The same friends who have contributed to current expenses have created an endowment fund to assure the permanency of the school. He spoke of the need to contribute to the board and the Jeanes fund that have contributed to schools in the South and said that schools of the Race are constantly growing, and showed that nothing but hope. He closed by saying: "Generations of children yet unborn will have a better chance in life without ever knowing to whom they will be because of the life and work of Hampton late principal, Dr. Hollis B. Frisell." CHICAGO DEFENDER FIGHT BIRTH OF A NATION Nassauville, Tenn., May 17.—A committee of E. Ministers' Alliances, together with several other public spirited organizations called upon Mayor Gupton to enter protest against the photoplay, the Birth of a Nation, which is to be held on May 17. The picture was once allowed to exhibit in this city, and on account of the evil effects resulting from its policy and distortion of facts, race prejudice was created after the exhibition. The feeling between the races in this city has been of, such a nature that it was deemed entirely unnecessary to allow such a picture to be created unfriendly. The mayor promised to take the matter up with the board of censors. AWARDED JUDGMENT AGAINST RAILWAY COMPANY Charlotte, N. C. May 17.

Defender. Sir: I am so interested in the editorials that appeared in your paper of the week of May 4, entitled, "What I Wanted That I Wanted to make some comments on." There is so much truth in it until it should be given consideration by all thinking people. I was a student who migrated to the Northland. I came to better my condition in all of its phases. Thus far I have done so. When I came I I gave to the industrial and thrifty class and to the working class and if I wanted to go back South I would not have to be beg anybody for fare. If I was that soft and inactive I would have named to walk around calling myself a "free man." Who prefers going the freezing route rather than southern (chivalry) as they know some things about the South. I am sure about twenty-five years of my life there. I know that THE NORTH IS THE BEST PLACE FOR ME, and in other Colored men who have aspirations and other goals, of which anything worth while. I mean a REAL man who lives for something, one who feels that he should live a life of usefulness; one who thinks that he should strive to be better than everyone else; some better for having lived in it. Or some better for other class had better stay where they are and eke out their existence, because railroads are too busy to be hauling such beings about. That is the best class of our people in the South to be missed by such untimely expressions as the native of Georgia has made. I agree with you very readily when you hear me say that certainly does not want that class." I say that the South would be better "at work" without them. The industry of the North is open more to the Race man than it has ever been before. We have a probation and we have no place in our ranks for such people. We must make good now and such characters will do untold harm. WE SAY TO ALL US, PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE. You may publish this letter in your next issue if you desire. I would be able to discuss the matter further with your fair-minded person. North or South. I remain, very truly yours. G. T. THOMAS 15 Division Street.

SYPHILIS and MARRIAGE "OUR HAT IS IN THE RING" "OUR HAT IS IN THE RING" THE DEFENDER for twelve years has struggled to show the best side of the life of our race. The struggle has not been altogether pleasing, nor has the work been easy. We have endeavored to stand for and support those principles which meant national unity and racial advancement. As to how well we have succeeded in our effort to carry forward that principle is evidenced by the large subscription list, covering every state in the Union and in some parts of foreign countries. We say with justifiable pride that the CHICAGO DEFENDER has a larger bona fide subscription list than any ten papers of our Race combined in this country. This is not a boast; it is a fact stated modestly, and can be proven by record. We have stood for and fostered the best that could be obtained in every walk of life, whether private or public. And we do not, at this time, propose to relinquish the position we have obtained through faithful, conscientious and diligent work. True, in time past we have hesitated to speak out in defiant tones against certain political selections which have been made by those who have accorded to themselves the right to speak for the Race. Our silence at those times was largely due to the fact that we did not deem our influence and power sufficient to be properly heard. But that day is past. And from now on the powers that be must understand that upon all questions affecting the interest of the Race, and especially where they are to be picked and selected to represent our people, in affairs of public moment, we propose to have a seat at the council table and to take part in this selection. This is not based upon any desire on our part for greed and power, but rather actuated by the established fact that we as an institution stand as the medium and commune with 350,000 people weekly. In view of this fact we believe our rights superior to the rights of any man or men who represent political factions and selfish interests. Robert S. Abbott Marriage is a noble institution; it is the foundation of society; it is the nucleus of the community, state and nation. Marriage should always be entered into the greatest amount of solemnity and seriousness. Both parties to the contract should come together with clean hands. There should be no "damaged goods" on either part of the contract, and if "damage of goods"—it should not be concealed without the party is infected DR. WILLIAMS with venereal disease, you are decieling the other party and at the same imposing upon the prospective offspring of your partner for sale. If you are honest, you will inform your contracting partner that you have only 'damaged goods' to you and that you are dutely set about correcting your 'damaged goods' through a long and persistent course of treatment. If you do not have your partner, you are an impostor—you are honest, and some of the states decisions have been handed down, annulling the marriagely imposed upon the guilty partner heavy damage of the innocent party to the contract. Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision Recently a decision was handed down by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin that a disease—to the effect a conical disease existing at the time of marriage—is ground for the annulment of the marriage, provided the unaffected partner ceases to have marital relations. In other words, if you are infected with venereal disease and marry an innocent person—and vice versa, if you are infected with venereal disease and band discovers that she was infected prior to or at the time of the marriage, under the Wisconsin laws he can have the marriage annulled to secure damages, if the marriage is able to Not long ago this kind of decision was handed down by one of the states relative to a tuberculosis man murrying her; later on she was thus deceiving her; later on she was thus deceiving had tuberculosis prior to the marriage, the marriage was annulled, the woman was given her name back and damned against the guilty party. In other cases, the partner for damages if you deceive your partner by thrusting upon him or her damaged (diseased) goods." In the fifth case, you are going to take a hand in the burial of venerable diseases in the conservation of the health of the human asset. You are infected with tuberculosis and have a disease. If you have cancer, you have a disease to affect a healthy, innocent person, he man or woman. This is eminently proper and right, because the healthy unit is the greatest asset of the nation. The Ohio Law The great State of Ohio has recently amended the law so as to permit the physicians to disclose to the parties concerned that a person about to be admitted should be informed this is right. If a young man is vicious, so obsessed with the evil spirit, or a young woman, for that matter, that he or she will enter into the marriage with a person about to be the innocent party, the laws of the Ohio law should he modeled after the Ohio law, permitting physicians to reveal the fact to the innocent party that the son or daughter is about to contract and enter marriage with a veneral infected individual with a consequent end long suffering, mental agony, misery and a loathsome death. The fact of the matter, ladies and gentlemen, we are just now awakening to the seriousness of the consequent consequence of syphilis. As stated above, syphilis is an insidious disease—it appears in so many forms. Syphilis is said to be a consumate master of deceit—able to stray from what seems right, and able to do that the only way we will be able to treat syphilis and its consequences is to gain all the knowledge within our reach and to apply that knowledge. It is said that syphilis is so generalized that from 75 to 80 per cent of all human beings have a taint of syphilis in Syphilis and Engagement to Marriage If you have syphilis and are engaged to marry a beautiful, innocent, charming girl, go at once, postpone indelibly the marriage, or break the engagement. You have "damaged goods" and if you marry her you are a deceiver. You must have a course of treatment. It is your duty to her to pursue a course of antiphilistic treatment from three to five years. Your treatment must be systematic and persistent, under the guidance of a doctor, at least three years before ever contemplating marriage. If you want to rid yourself of all "damaged goods" diseases do not mind about the disappearance of all external symptoms and signs of syphilis as these are deceiving. What shall you do? Have a Wasserman blood test made. If you are really on the square, you will have a spinal incision and the fluid examined; you will take venous infusions (606); you will resort to intensive and persistent anti-syphilis treatment, after which you will have a Wasserman blood test repeated in order to know if you are clean all of veneer tails. You will lie in the line of treatment until you are finally cured in order that the result of your family union—children—may come into the world clean, pure and healthy, in so far as relates to yourself.
