It is rumored around the city that the bomb was not aimed at 4522, but at 4539, this property being owned by Charles H. Davis, who recently purchased it from E. Friedman (white). It said that certain members of the alley were involved in the attack and are back of the attempted assault and murder. This, of course, has not been verified. It is known, however, that this association has caused concern in the district. They represent the kind of people who fight while you sleep. Charles Davis Dies It is charged that this unprovoked assault was the direct cause of the death of Michael, who was Sunday night at Covert, Md., at which he was been for several weeks attempting to regain his health. This is the third time an attempt has been made to wreck the life of Michael, who clared that these attacks undermined his health and in fact it is said were the effect of an attack on his health. Mr. Davis was employed by the Dunnion lodge, he was a member of Dunnion lodge, Knights of Pythias.

Street Car Conductor in a Brutal Assault on Passenger Atlanta, Ga. May 51. Will Edwards, age 30, was taken from an English square street car Saturday night, May 18, after he had received a severe beat- down by the police, because he refuses to pay his car fare the second time. Edwards was in the act of bleeding to death was called to summon the ambulance to his aid. The officer not only refused to aid the injured man, but said, only to Nigel. Jet him blood to death. He was taken to the Grady hospital in a taxi cab by G. H. Morris, (white) an employee of the N. G. & S. L. railroad. Mr. Morris died at the actions of the policeman, and said that he would file charges against him before the police commissioner. The assault of Edwards calls to the publicity agent of the street car company resulted in receiving this ridiculous information. "That they need to do is to arrest the police and not learn the name of the conductor." It is here suggested for the information of the "ubliquity Department" of the street car company, that the number of the police officer needed to do is to ascertain the hour of the occurrence of the assault, and it can then be very easily determined as the car.

CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES ue, New York City Four Thousand Hear Simmons in Kansas By W. C. Hueston Hutchinson, Kau, May 31.—Speaking Sunday afternoon to 4,000 people in Convention hall in this city, Roscoe triumph through Kansas. Not only did he cover himself with glory, but he rendered a service to his Race beyond White people crowded every meeting and sat amused at the feet of this great American, this champion of his people, counted the least in the na- Proud of Race Perhaps a young Race woman said the word at Hutchinson following the great meeting. This young woman, recently graduated from a Kansas high school, grasped Col. Simmons by the hand. "You have made me proud of my Race. You have made me hold up my head." Governor Joins Him Four meetings were held on the tour: Wichita, Topeka, Atchison and Hutchinson. Gov.apper joined Col. Simmons and Gov.apper Tanner joined Atchison, where he delivered a shoe address on "America for Americans," following the wonderful speech made the spokesman in the home of Ingalls, the genius of American statesmanship. At Wichita Col. Simmons spoke in the high school. At Topeka he applauded the students at Atchison he spoke in Ingalls school auditorium. Race people came from miles around to see and hear their champions, among people lionized him by Rosemary Bishop Parks' Tribute At Wichita Col. Simmons was preceded by Bishop H. B. Parks, who told God has taken the "young lion" from the fiery furnace to do His bidding. At each place Col. Simmons shot a new dart. For example: In a life in peace half enfranchised and half disfranchised no more than it could live in peace half free and half slave. At Topeka: "I owe the American wu- mer to take care of what I shall never be able to pay. What the American white man owes me I am not expect- ing to receive." At Atchison: "Liberty knocked on our town and we had to do an errand of 4,000 miles to let justice know her mother wanted her." At Hutchinson: "Any hand good enough to dig a trench in the battlefield in defense of the mother is good enough to put a cross mark on the American ballot." The daily press of Kansas put Col. Simmons in charge himself. Reporting a wonderful memoir to Topeka, the Daily Capital remarked: Daily Prosa Praises "An audience variously estimated at from 2,500 to 3,000 persons heard the eloquent address of Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the brilliant Colored orator from Chicago, and a patriotic concert of unusual excellence at the city auditorium last evening. It was the verdict of all who heard Col. Simmons that Henry Watterson was right in declaring him without a superior on the American platform. It was a speech surcharged with loyalty and patriotism, delivered by a master of all the arts and graces of the genuine orator. "No more eloquent orator has been heard in Topeka since the war began than Mr. Simmons, and his address last night reached the loftiest heights of patriotism." The famous Wichita Beacon gave praise uncommon to its columns, saying: "His address made a lasting impression on every person who heard it. Philadelphia A. M. E. Dismissed From Post Office on Forgery Charge Baltimore, Md. May 31.—Charged with returning a false receipt to the postoffice while serving as a substitute mail carrier, for a special delivery letter, to a family in the Spring street, was fined $5 in the United States District court presided over by Judge John C. Rose, and summarily dismissed from the postal service. The summation fine for such an offense is $1,000; the sentence, 5 years, both. It appears that the party to whom the letter was absent from his residence was absent from delivery, and Greene, in order to be paid for delivering the missive, returned a false receipt to the postmaster, was excellent previous to this offence, time he was a minister of the gospel. Pullman Porter in Bad Pittsburgh, Pa., May 31, C. Johnson, a Pullman porter of Chicago district, was signed to take a car out east, to carry out the order, to carry out the order; for the simple reason that he had been away from home a considerable length of time and business necessitated his return, sufficient one and Johnson was sent to the superintendent, who sent the porter to the Pennsylvania yards to report for duty. When Johnson arrived at the office these men were boarded the desk for him to report to his local board, in Chicago, to depart for the training camp. As this seemed to be a settled order Johnson bid good-by to the office and his mastery of English was perfect. Such is too short a story of the travels of a humble man, an intellective man, an answerers his critics by a service beyond any man or set of men in his time. He never forgets. At Atchison he held a tribute to John Ingalls that lifted him to life and he was Ingalls' home, and his son, Sheffield Ingalls, was on the platform. At Wichita W. A. Bettles presided. After the meeting and Dr. S. E. J. Watson introduced Col. Simmons. At Atchison Lloyd Kerdorf, leading business man, presided. Walter Gray, principal of the Lincoln School, was delegation of young people that came from Pratt to greet him at Hutchinson. One of the features of the tour that pleased the orator more than any other was the letter, W. A. Bettles of Wichita told the writer, who comes from Kansas City. Mysterious Shooting Sets Neighbors' Tongues Wagging Mysterious Shooting Sets Neighbors' Tongues Wagging Mrs. Phezer Smith, 3130 Federal street, took four shots at Rufus Fields bright and early last Monday morning. To be exact, the policemen claim it was 7:20 o'clock sharp when Rufus rang the doorbell.

But Rufus for some reason unknown, did not take kindly Prof. W. R. Carter Fired by Kansas Governor; Im- proper Conduct Charged Topela, Kan., May. 11—It has been authoritatively learned that the dismission of Prof. W. R. Carter, superintendent of the Topela Educational and Career Center, due familiarity with prepossessing lady students, Gov. Capper, it is learned, on previous occasions had warned the "fessor" that his duties to the institution was to sustain good morals, and to maintain order, ever, when the final showdown came and the heads of the institutions were about to lay bare the conduct of Carter's entire relationship with various girls he accepted the suggestion upon his request of governor and tendered his resignation. It is alleged that Prof. Carter is the father of a child born to a girl student, and the mother of a teenage, but was permitted to continue with his work. Since that time two teachers were discharged from the junior school and were sent to work. Carter took the matter to court and succeeded in unseating them. One of the women claimed that Carter had been abused by the teacher she repulsed him, Miss Mann, the student Carter is said to have kissed, avers that while she was employed in the school, she forced her to kiss him unaccentedly. Prof. Carter's troubles have been numerous and varied for the past few years, but he has spent several thousand dollars in the suppression of damaging evidence affecting his indisposition. There is now a suit brought by Attorney W. L. Jamison, arising out of the previous suit having to do with the birth of a child. The case gained so much notoriety and was so profusely punctured with immoral actions that Judge Rad Lee decommissioned the case. Note was appointed judge pro tem.

BAN LIFTED AT CAMP DIX Philadelphia, Pa. May 31.—The ban on visitors at Camp Dix was lifted at 6 o'clock on Monday evening. A big crowd gathered across the cross line, as the camp has been closed for military reasons since Friday midnight. Many of the visitors came from distant states last week, so they'd their stay to get in the cannonment. WOMAN h Side Shooting Sets 's Tongues 'ging' Laboring under the impression, of course, that he would succeed in outstretching the bullets, "hitching up his weapon, observing from his attitude that he did not intend to remain for breakfast, and failing to understand why he wanted to invite him, sought to impress him by her innocence of her desire for him to remain by sending after him in hot purge, rapid shots from her pet automatic, it is authoritatively said that Rufus outstudied the first three shots and was about to turn the corner of 8242 to realize the urgent necessity of speed—that is, if he should survive—raised his left foot a little too high penetrated the heel, hitting its mark, penetrated the heel, splitting it wide open. The officers, Middleton and Scott, who made the arrest, aver that the shot in the heel did not diminish him, but he seemed to impress him with the fact that more speed was necessary for his future. While mystery clouds the real cause of the assault on Field, conflicting rumors are aloft in the community to the extent that Fields was a former Smith home, and the shooting was the outgrowth of an affair in which another woman had figured. Supreme Court Decision Abolishes Dump Station Near Payne University Selma, Ala. May 31—In the case of Selma, which had its initial call to the Supreme court last week, the respectable citizens of this city have sued the dump station in North Selma from the vicinity of Payne University. For a notice of civil action, city officials absolutely refused to speak to the station from under the nose of this notable institution. The terrible stealth unbehagged and was threatened to spread disease in the immediate vicinity of the dump station was entered against the city, which finally sustained by the Supreme court. The city objected to removing the trash pile from the residential district or the available lots for such service were on the skirts of the town, and the horses used in hauling the refuge would become too long distance. With the decision of a premiere court staring the city in the face, it appears that they will have to move the horses to the hauling. The main objection against the hauling of the dumping station was that the students at Payne University were disturbed by the vicious odors arising from the horses, mules, and the general refuse collected from the city streets. The appearance of buzzards in their efforts to decomp the garbage greatly annoyed the residents near by. ASK ENLISTMENT OF PHYSICIANS Delphine University in 1-A.

Mr. Payne does not use scenes to teach the people how to pay rent, but charging the extortionate rents they are now paying, but gives plain English. He spoke for two hours last week to reduce their unreasonable rents, and asked, if necessary, after forcing landlords to secure dispositions for them, thus costing them something.

Notes Fail to Elect Any Delegates New York, May 31.—Last year branch No. 1, National Association of Postoffice Laborers, sent four Race delegates to the national convention in New York, and sent four of our Race outnumber the whites in the organization two to one, they failed to elect a single delegate to the St. Louis convention to be held there in September. The men, with the names of twenty candidates, ten of the Race and ten whites, the two who received the highest number of delegates, elected. The men, who could not receive any two candidates, split their tickets, making it easy for the two delegates to slip in. This is simply another example of lack of Race unity.

First, for the many good things found on all the pages, and next, because we are often obliged to run New York items on other pages than the Empire State and New York and Brooklyn pages. If you fail to read your Defender from first page to last you not only miss many important articles, but you often miss good, live news from your own newspaper. So read your Defender through. Rufus Perry Longs for France Brooklyn, N. Y., May 31.—Explainin- ing that he expected reinstatement in the firm after the death of his fi- lde Hone Perry, one of the best, kno- nest and most successful Race lawyers in New York state, who was disbarred last year by the New York Supreme court on a trivial technicality, said to a defender man who saw him at his house, that he had been settled, it's me for Paris, France, where a man's a man." Mr. Perry's office, located in the Germania Bank building on lower Fulton street, presents a great contrast now to the luxurious suite of rooms he formerly had, and now has room for more than twenty years. Gone are the corps of legal assistants and stepgraphers the former lawyer used to necessarily employ in the extensive and lucrative practice that he once enjoyed. It has been said that his prac- tice was worth $30,000 a year. A desk office, with a large furniture, and a few books, part of the valuable law library—Mr. Perry's office was once famous for its furniture and library—are all that he has wished him now in the little room on ninth floor of the building, rem- inding some of the books of poverty are not genuine, for the ex-lawyer wears on his finger an Scarlet diamond ring, a gift, which he says is worth $5,000. He also in- tends moving shortly into a house now in course of construction in one of the most exclusive parts of Brooklyn. F. Engaged in Shipping Business Engaged in Shipping Business Asked just what he was now doing, Mr. Koehler he was interested in the shipping business. He is connected with a concern that now owns one boat plying between here and Portland, Ore., and experts to control several more. Incidentally he told the reporter that the ship which Chief Sam made his unfortunate migration of Africa in, had been bought for $100,000, resulting was sold not long ago for $600, of his time since disbursement has been consumed in writing a book on philosophy. It will be remembered that this is the man who created a sensation several years ago by embracing the Jewish faith, and the work that he has produced brings out strongly what he has learned about the conflict. To the race that received the confrontation on Mount Sinai can be traced most of the beginning of philosophy—the wisdom of the world." Produces Very Expensive Books The book, a sample of which Mr. Perry showed the reporter, is not for sale, as its cost per volume is prohibitive. It was produced mainly for private display and is held by the way, holds a fellowship in the French Academy for his ability to speak and write the French language. It could be said that he can speak and write Yiddish equally as well, and write a work of rare wisdom and is printed in the Japanese edition of French-Japan paper. Some of the colored plates cost as high as $100, and it is bound in blue levant morocco. A case of leather like the binding holds the book, and Mr. Perry says it is worth $15 a volume. As the Defender man, he is a man of this man, who was deprived as suddenly as a bolt from the sky of a big and valuable law practice, very greatly impressed him. Under a recent order his disbarment was reduced to a five-year suspension, and under the law he was allowed to work in a little more than three years although the court could reinstate him sooner, if they would.

Dr. Newman Talks to Student-Soldiers At Howard University, Dr. S. H. Newman, president of the institution, determines the new student-soldiers. He called attention to the fact that they em- braced in their ranks the best element of young adulthood. Not one of the 260 men who were recruited, the number unless he possessed at least the qualification of having graduated from a grammar school, while many of the men had also graduated from a college. He said, the men must have passed the rigid physical examination necessary for admission to the military service, so that each of the 260 men possessed a mind and a perfect body. The honor of having been chosen as one of such a number of men, Dr. Newman said, was one that would be deeply appre- sioned to the Race of which these men are members. Acting Adjunct General Donovan and Mrs. Gerald Franklin Cook of the University, will be presenting lines. The senior class of girls from Dumbar High school, dressed in Red Cross attire, marched through the campus during the exercises. Howard University is one of the general institutions where our men will be held for two weeks, and for a few months. The government has contracted to provide food and lodging on the campus grounds and will pay the men any compensation for private soldiers. CONSTABLE HELD ON MURDER CHARGE Tulsa, Okla, May 31.-A. J.

BLACK CARL IN Robert Levy Calls 12,000 Hear Mayor Thompson at Monster Republican Meeting Fully 12,000 people jammed the Coliseum last Saturday night and will be attending the opening of Mayor William Hale Thompson's campaign for United States senator. Corporation Counsel John Muller delivered a forceful speech August Miller as permanent chairman and following the introduction the corporation counsel delivered a forceful speech to every citizen in this crisis. At the conclusion of Mr. Etteelson's address, he in turn introduced Congressman at Large E. Mason, who was at his best. The congressman spoke at length on the attacks which have been made upon him, various newspapers, charging him with various news papers, these charges have not been made in good faith, nor could he be suspected, would be acceptable by a fair and impartial mind, but that those who sought to malign him were using that information, most offensive of the means to obtain evidence and bearing of the politic body." He further declared that the charges were less personified and that they were uttered in a public manner, no conscience and a mind which was polluted by selfish political desires. The congressman made known the fact that he had conceived and made the defence of democracy, who was now somewhere in France. A dose of the congressman's remarks, the candidate, for the senate Jamaica Youth Whips 3 White Southern Soldiers; Teaches Them How To Act Jamaica, N. Y., May 31.—Six white North Carolina soldiers from Camp Mills, L. L., carelessly strolled into Jamala Thursday evening, May 24 evidently thirsty and looking for some sport. They were supplied with it by Fred Brooks of 101 Catherine street when he wrote to him Samuel Gleickman 49th infantry, and two pairs with several right upper- armed soldiers and his friends whom, it is al- leged, had been trying to induce flame to buy them. Soldiers Try to Incite Riot A great crowd had gathered for blocks around and seemingly there would be a free for all fight when the cracker soldiers, who had been whipped and drunk, were seeking revenge with cries of "Lynch him" etc. However, their cries went for naught, as the whites too long be allowed in the prison too long to be allowed to be connected with anything like a lynching. The military police then took three of the soldiers to the town hall and told them that the prisoners were turned loose on the claim that Brooks carried a razor and tried to glash Glickman, which was not true. Brooks' statement that the soldiers desired them was not adhered to, and he was arranged on a charge of felonious assault Friday, May 21, before Magistrate Court. He was released on $500 bail, which was furnished by relatives. Brooklyn Papers' stories Exaggerated called at Mr. Brooks' last Saturday, when he seemed none the worse for his experience and explained he had only defended himself the same as any other. He said he was a lawyer, he said, called him all sorts of names and said that he was a southerner, and if he was in the South he could not have been a lawyer. When shown a clipping from Brooklyn Daily Eagle, which carried this headline, "Try to Lynch Negro in Jamaica Riot," and a subheadline, "A subheadline, a subheadline," he said it was very much exaggerated and all tommorrow. The southern soldiers no doubt would have enjoyed a scene above the Mason and Dixon line and not below it. It was the young man's parting shot. Mr. Brooks is employed in the Arburea sugar refinery Brooklyn mother, Mrs. Florence Brooks, a deaconess of len A. M. E. church on Washington, street, engaged Attorney Robert H. H. mother her son's interest. The case came up for trial last Monday mornig. ANGRY MOB KILLS CITIZEN AND SLAYS UNPROTECTED WOMEN Barnesville, Ga., May 31.—John Calhoun, 71, of Whitehall, Ohio, (white), was brought to the city at 11 o'clock on the running board of an automobile. Literally shot to pieces by an angry mob. The tends assaulted the kidnapped domen and acted like madmen. It was the most disgraceful incident that has ever taken place in this section of the country. People, who white people including ministers, took part in the affair. The news of the shooting has spread all over the country and 300 citizens are leaving for sections of the county to attend the courts. Mr. Calhoun shot White to protect himself, as it is said White was on the eve of killing him. 1 INJURED WHEN AUTOS COLLIDED Portland, Orle. May 31.—Chas. Redd met with an accident white driving his car across a crossing when he lost control of the machine and collided with another car, injuring one of the occupants, is being held to await the involvement in the condition of the injured man. --- Titwisvli Fin, May 27 Titwisvli Fin, May 27 a rattlesnake, 8½ feet long, the largest seen in this vicinity for some time, was captured last week by Enoch Roggers. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER chair, Mayor William Hale Thompson, was introduced. The mayor delivered one of the most profound addresses in history, one of the economic and political situation as it was in patriotism today. He declared that his patriotism and loyalty was unquestioned and that his father fought side by side with Admiral Parragut of civil war fighter, the most notable of which read as follows: "I am opposed to the propaganda of hate which seeks to divide our people on racial lines and thus weaken our national unity. We are of many races, one mind that it comes to protecting our country against any and all enemies." "I am in favor of observance of the law without evasion, discrimination or offenses against the government, efforts to meto out punishment for offenses by mob violence and lynch law. As United States senator, I shall face congressional investigation and legislation on this course upon American institutions." It was the current opinion among those who heard the mayor's speech that he made him the most formidable candidate in the race and that his position on public questions justified the opinion and belief that he would be a powerful assailant of the States senate in defense of democracy. GILBERT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT IS A GRAND SUCCESS Foldwyn, La., May 31.—The annual commencement of the Gilbert Industrial school was held on May 9 at the Trinity Methodist church. Town office admissions and business men whitehats attended the event. Three nights of exercises were held by the grammar departments. The fourth night witnessed a musical conducted by the choir. The concert showed how completely they could master the art of singing. Numbers were rendered, numbers presented followed, classical renditions sketched, Italian open. The last number so captivated the audience that for a full minute applause and calls for an encore were completed during the year. Work accomplished during the year. Account was started, backed by the town officials, to see if something worth white could be done to make the institute a better place, thus giving a greater number of people and thus spread its usefulness far and wide. Social Settlement Is Doing a Grand Work; First Paid A class in cooking was started *lost* in a work settlement is *lost* in other war work. Modern Judas Betrays Race Pittsburgh, Pa. May 31.—R. C. Jackson, formerly of Dallas, Texas, evidently longing to teach his children himself leadership by invading our people to return South. Ordinarily, we would not use this space to comment upon his declaration, but we might think that he stands for something substantial in the progress of our people, hence, this passing notice. "The man who would advise our people to be more moral in his reason that they are better understood by the Southern white man shows evidences of a deteriorated mind, he deserves a higher honor of our women to be destroyed and every hope for a higher morality be desecrated; our mothers burned at the hands of our children, lynched without the shadow of the process of the convening of a legalized court." Is it better for us to remain South and endure these hardships, than to destroy the laws of the land are maintained and respected and the belief in God sustained by the activity of a people whose conduct governs their dealings. Followme. There may be some ulterior motive back of this advice so freely offered by this one Mr. (?) Jackson. However, we will win him him. 1900 made him an attempt to make thirty pieces of silver to barter away the rights of a great character. Jackson will probably recall that the perpetrator of this crime, unble to stand for his activities, and sought refuge for his conscience by an untimely death. SHOT BY POLICEMAN St. Louis, May 31—Wm. Murray, 26 years old, was shot through the body last Tuesday morning at 14th and Pine streets.

It is learned from "those who claimed to know" that the animals had been mobilized for the big show, but they found out at the last minute that the elephant had broken loose and was being further claimed by one of our weekly contemporaries that the escape was due to the activity of Alderman R. K. Jackson, who they claimed to be opposed to the presence of elephants in the Second ward. B. F. Moseley, who was to control the mammoth manegee, has magdamised the city in despair. The prince, whispered around that elephants present will be tied up until snow falls. Of course, if that happens the circus will be called off until next summer.

That we may, on this blessed day, Throughout the nation rise, In memory of the sainted dead, Who sleep in paradise.

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 is this much-tried, perfectly satisfactory remedy at any drug store. Tasco tablets (don't forget the name) are recommended by physicians and are guaranteed to be perfectly harmless. Refuse substitutes, if you cannot come to our store, we will mail tassco to you. THE MAN WHO KNOWS WHO CAN. Tuskegee Institute Holds Its Annual Commencement SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1918 Tuskegee Dr. Washington Observes 37t Dr. Washington's School Observes 37th Anniversary Tuskegee, Ala., May 31. - The day was bright and the crowds from far and near began to come early in wagons, buggies, automobiles. It was a typical Tuskegee commencement crowd, which is always quiet, happy and eager. Soda water and ice cream cones, which were sold partly for the benefit of the Red Cross, added to the pastime and good nature of the crowd, and at noon the visitors were guests of the Institute at an old-fashioned dinner served in the open air. Thursday's exercises were the last features of the thirty-seventh anniversary exercises, which began Sunday May 19, when Dr. Frank Willis Barnett, the fearless editor of the Alabama Baptist, delivered the commencement sermon in the Institute chapel. Dr. Barnett took for his text "God is love," and in the course of his remarks paid generous tribute to Dr. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute, and to Dr. Moton, the present principal. Dr. Barnett's Remarks In his charge to the graduating class Dr. Barnett said: I want to say this word to the graduate. You have been at this Institute and this Institute stands not in civil affairs, but to fit you to gain honorable livelihood; but I know this institution wants to send each one of you out with the stamp of character in your diplomas, and yet I want to tell you your diploma is but a serpent of poison, even though it may carry the seal of your diplomas, and yet I want to bear in your own bodies the marks of the Savior, and my wish for you this afternoon is that if there be one of you who does not know Jesus Christ as his ambassador, I pray through the power of the Holy Spirit that He may come to you, and not give you rest of God. May God be with each one of you, may God bless you, and may you be loyal not only to this institution, but he loyal not only to your country, but he loyal not only to his profits best who serves best. "As a speaker, speaking by authority of the President of the United States, I have come here for special training, who have come to prepare to serve their country, that you have the greatest responsibility to any people, because years ago your freedom was won for you at the cost of your life.

In explaining the work of the commencement program, parts, the young man placed the harms on a horse which had been led on the stage. The second speaker was Daisy Bessin of Red Springs, N. C. She discussed the importance of showing how a teacher could establish a community through the forms of teaching, giving lessons in housekeeping, canning, cooking and community holding the attention of the pupils through the use of the sand table, and various cuttings from magazines of pictures and up-to-date material on all subjects. "Community Dairying," by John Wesley Hugley was illustrated with the Babcock tester, the cream separator and the cow. The cow was led up to the barn, the cow pointed out what was a good dairy cow and what was not. She was then milked, the milk was strained, tested and run through the separator to show the community dairying could be handled. Caring for the sick was the subject discussed by Marie Hamilton, St. Kitts, w. L. As a trained nurse she showed interest in the medicine, massages and making the bed comfortable for them. She also pointed out the way to care for weaknesses of the eye and various members of the body. Mahleh Morse of Norfolk, Va., took his paint brush and whitewash brush and showed what paint and whitewash do in every day life. "Gratefully," he said, "the painting Farm crops" was the subject discussed by Christopher M. Kynette of Selma, Ala. Great emphasis was laid upon the selection and germination of seeds, especially Charlie O. Johns of Paris, Texas, told how the average community in the South could live out of the garden the year round. She cooked a dinner out of the garden and used the seeds. Charlie Slater Gibson of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., was the valedictorian of the class. After summing up the results of each of his colleagues, he expanded the idea of the modern community. Features of the Day The afternoon portion of the program included the features of the day. Promptly at 1:30 clock the academic formed in front of Carnegie Library, and prominent visitors, officers and teachers of the school, made an imposing array as it passed through the grounds to the institute chapel. The industrial always interesting, set forth with remarkable mass many of the activities of the school. Alumni Speaker Harry H. Simms, Selma, Ala., of the class of 1908, which is celebrating the fourth anniversary of its graduation with a reunion here at the school, represented and presented $220 as a gift from his class to the institute. He voiced the loyalty of the alumni to the school in his address. He said in part: "Entering the senior year, 108 in nummer, I am anxious to make a worthy and permanent contribution to Tuskegee for the classes to follow. And among other things, we looked with pride today at the Students' Reading Circle, which had its students with us and which has become a permanent organization of the institution. "But, my friends, what I have said thus far was incidental. The prime object of our being here today may be illustrated by a beautiful Biblical story: 'For country, called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods, I to one he gave five talents, unto another two, and into another one. To his ability. After a long time the master of those servants returneth and reckeneth with them.' Thus ten years ago, were we assembled as servants before us, among us who possessed five talents, two and still others one, according to our capacities and several abilities. We have baked these ten years trying to understand the nature of our beloved founder, to do the common thing in an uncommon way, to do our work so well that no one could improve upon it, and I am glad to say that we have buried talents, for which I must offer an excuse on this day of reckoning. "So it is to you, Principal Moton, that we have come not only to offer you a gift of wisdom to support and to offer ourselves as armors and to do what we can to lighten the ever increasing burdens under which you know you are laboring. And as a token of our love and devotion for Tuskegee, I have the honor and very great pleas- TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perforated hair hairies. People get discouraged and lose faith in hair tones. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinasea oil is so gentle that hair has stood the test of time. It is a scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is the solution of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put in the scalp. To get best results from the use of Quinasea it is necessary to snampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasea oil. Quinasea oil is made from coconut oil, which is principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasea oil lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling of moisturization unaffected by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and or them by the full name. Price is 25 cent if your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them or you from his whole warehouse. Write to Seeby and mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. Admit.

GUENTHER & SON Cleaners and Dyers 316-318 E. 35TH ST. CHICAGO Lafayette Player Makes Hit The program of the Young People's Lyceum of Grae Presbyterian church Sunday, May 26, was splendid. It was in honor of the departed dead of the 60's. It was happily celebrated with musical numbers. The first was by Miss Lacey Robinson, daughter of Rev. John Robinson, of the St. Mark M. E. church, "Sing Prizes to Him" was the first number and the second was "Mifianfam." Miss Robinson has a sweet voice, youth and beauty, and she was liberally applauded. She belongs to the class of singers that are soon to be the favorites in the "Windy City" chorus. The first show was Stock Company was easily the feature of the afternoon. He possesses a rich baritone-tenor voice and knows how to use it. His first number was "Cavatina and Song" and the second was "The Penetent." The last one showed the first rank, a singer of wonderful training. The audience was deafening with applause and he responded with Harry Burleigh's "Mother of Mine." Another treat of the afternoon was the orchestra of Grae Presbyterian school under the direction of W. D. Burleigh. They played three boys and were excited. They are making great progress and the lyceum and the church are pleased to note it. The orchestra was well received. The address of Dr. Floyd G. Nelson, pastor of St. Mary's A. M. E. church, on "Music, its Relation to 'Christian Growth,'" was a must-read. We great worth of research and it is well worth being heard over and over again. Dr. Snelson is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was a presiding elder in Burmaud and has lectured in London, Scotland, Ireland and Paris. He was presented by Gary L. Lewis, Miss Sonson and by David H. Lewis, Miss Lafayette Players, complimented the lyceum and said upon her return with the company she would appear on the program. Action of One Woman Causes Discharge of Forty A few weeks ago the manager of a certain large hotel persuaded the proprietor to permit him to employ forty of our girls as chambermaids. The proprietor strenuously objected on the ground that they could not properly reconcile themselves to the new environment. This the manager contented was all wrong, and he was permitted to try out the propaganda, and to show that a prominent woman as forebear. The proposition lasted two days. This certain prominent forebady was called to the office on the third morning and given her pay, and also received instructions to take her crew and go to the hotel, and she seemingly spent too much of her time in company with the men guests of the hotel in their rooms. Moral—it is hoped when large concerns after desire the services of our Race but they will secure them through some organizational institute whereby their honor and reliability can be vouched for.

Hutchison, a pupil of the 6th grade, John Farren school, List and Wa bash avenue, won a diploma for the best four-minute essay on the subject of "Thrift Stamps." The teachers and clerks vicinity of Farron school were highly pleased to have the honor come to Miss Hutchison, smartest girls in the graded schools of Chicago. She has always shown aptitude in writing. A. led the Thrift Stump question with a result that when called upon to write, she won with case. The essay follows: Every boy and girl should have a Thrift Stump book. You are not giving your money to the government, you are only lending it. If you don't come across the kaiser will. Save your penny. You have a quarter, then buy a Thrift Stump book. You are equal to one W. S. S. Twenty W. S. S. are equal to one hundred ($100) with which you can buy a Liberty Bond in November. You do not get interest on one Thrift Stump, but you do get on one W. S. S. Since we are engaged in the war with Germany we engage in the war with Germany we never lost and must not lose. It is important that you often spend money for candy, candy and pickles, which are unnecessary. Uncle Sam has been very lucky to win all these wars. Why. did he win? Because the people were full blooded Americans. Children do not realize the sensation of the war but the principal fear. Farron school intends to make every kaiser a pet in Baita a Thrift Stump now. Don't wait until tomorrow, tomorrow may never come. Help the Allies and save now. When you are older you will be thrifty. There are many ways in which you can save. Every dollar will make the kaiser holder. Plant a war garden. Buy Thrift stamps and W. S. S. Don't waste food. Don't waste food. Don't waste food. Remember every time you lick Thrift or a W. S. S. you help lick the kaiser. Knit for the soldiers and do your bit, every little bit helps. Do we want democracy in the United States or not? That is a question for you to answer. Thrift Stamps are only 25 cents, but Bounty hands are $40 and up. So we better warn you and cline to be under the German rule. Think of the poor suffering Belgians and buy Thrift Stamps. K. is for Kaiser, for one who thinks he is brave. A is for Allies, who helped in the raid. I for Illinois, who will send him to his grave. S for sorrow. Alim he made. E for England. who he made. General Pershing. Rhine, which General Pershing will raid. Put them all together they spell kaiser, the man we call a miser.

She has been for a number of years actively engaged in social service work and affiliated with uplift movements, doing special work for the board of education for some time past. Her worth and value was brought to the attention of Ald. Louis B. Anderson, who is ever alert in seeking out those things which the ultimate end advance the progress of his Race, and she was appointed to this position. Miss Perry is highly regarded by the best citizens of both races in the city for her interest manifested in public life. She has a widowed mother and a married sister who reside in Morgan Park. Too much credit cannot be given Ald. Anderson for the unassuming manner in which he has been able to accomplish much of his work in the term of office. Unlike others, no truss band heralds the news of his accomplishments. He works quietly and effectively and this fact is evidenced by his success in having Officer Metall and the policewoman, the responding of the Stanton avenue station. Miss Laura Jennings appointed to a position of trust and the instant stopping of petty crimes directed by subordinates at Miss Theresa Harper. "Louie," as he is familiarly known among his constituents, has proven an inestimable asset as a lawyer.

TEST IT CRITICALLY We want every woman who has never tried SKIN WHITENER FACE POWDER to put it to this test. Powder your face before your mirror on one side with the face powder you have been using; powder the other side of your face WHITENER POWDER. NO how evenly SKIN WHITENER POWDER adheres to the face, and the soft and beautiful appearance it gives to the skin. Compare it to your heart's content. This test will convince the most skeptical that our claims are based on fact, and that SKIN WHITENER POWDER is just what we claim—the best face powder that money can buy. It is put up in a beautiful box, the same size that retails for 50c and upward for other powders not near so good.

I want to lean over my old windowsill And watch the sun rising once more over the hill; I want to be home, where from sky to the soil, Just everything's nearer and dearer to God. EXIT WHISK BROOM AND MOP AS THE OLD PARSON SAID, "De sun do move," and every day new evidence of this homely statement in its broadest sense is found. There was a time not so long ago when "we-uns" had a monopoly on the shoe shining business. The coin of the realm coming in at the rate of a nickel a throw did not attract high financiers for a great many years; then all of a sudden it dawned upon the sons of Greece that they might take shoe shining out of the drudgery class and make it an art, in other words add a little dignity to the business. So they went the bootblack, who carried his box hung from his shoulder by a strap, one better and erected little enclosed stands on the street corners. It was but a step from there to expensive store rooms, sections of hotel lobbies and office buildings. Now the places are called "parlors," and parlors they are in reality, with marble, brass and mirrors everywhere, and proving to be little mints. Did we engineer this transformation? Did we graduate from that line of work, or did the more progressive crowd us out of the business? These are questions still unanswered. Once upon a time our services were greatly in demand as waiters. No well regulated "eat shop" could get along without us—or at least thought they could not. Today we are conspicuous by our absence. Again the question arises, why? Is it because of increasing prejudice or didn't we deliver the goods? As porters in every place of business we shone; the mop, broom and dust rag could be no more deftly handled by anyone, and yet even these essentials have fallen into the hands of foreigners. Provress is the aim, of course, of races as well as individuals, but progress means keeping what you have as stepping stones for those who are to follow, and climbing a little higher yourself. There will always be those who are unfitted for anything requiring an unusual amount of intelligence. This is true of other peoples as it is true of us. Therefore we cannot afford to lose any honorable work. That we are making rapid strides in the industrial world is to our credit; that we should lose one inch of ground we once had is to our discredit. Granted it is not the ambition of anyone to be a porter, waiter or boot-black, they are all honest trades and fill their own little niche in the world. Sometimes the exit of the whisk broom and the mop is the signal for the entrance of the dice box and other gambling devices, for an idle brain is the devil's workshop.

Without material well for principles; without all his rights and privilege as Dead Sea fruit, and to appease it. TWO "DRIVES" by two excellent organizations are now being successfully conducted in Chicago. That so large a demand upon the moral and financial resources of the people has met with such spontaneous and generous response is one more testimony to the fact that Chicago holds no "shackers," and every just demand—whether national or local—is faced in a fine spirit: a spirit which realizes the grave and increasing responsibilities of citizenship in a great metropolis. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Urban League, in their present efforts for increased membership, by their purpose and achievements Justify the response which Chicago is giving to their respective appeals. Each organization is doing, and will do, very needed work along its chosen line for a common people. One—the Urban League—cares for the economic and industrial needs of the people; the other, the N. A. A. C. P. sees to it that the political, educational and civil rights of those same people are not infringed upon. The one, we may say, looks after the immediate material needs; the other rights for rights which may be immediate or remote, but lacking which no material prosperity can be of much value. To be more concrete, a man comes to the city; he is without employment and homeless. The excellent services of one of these societies comes to his aid, and he is soon employed and living in a good home. The material needs satisfied—the body fed, clothed and housed—the mental, the moral, the spiritual side of this man makes its demand. Years of persecution have not been able to kill this demand that he makes upon American life. He wants to be a full man. His children must have the best schools, barred from none because of color. He must be able to vote for his representative, and he must have every civil right which any other American citizen enjoys. What does it profit a man if he gain the whole material world and lose his right to be as other men because of his color? And it is just here that such a man finds the need and vital importance of such an organization as the N. A. A. C. P. The purpose of the organization—national in its scope—is to abolish legal injustice against us; to stamp out race discrimination; to be ashless as the bloodshed and outfitting of our people; to secure to every citizen of Color the compulsory right of American citizenship; to compel equal accommodations in railroad travel; to secure to our children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public educational funds. The N. A. A. C. P. has fought a battle along these lines for the past nine years. It assisted in the fight in state and United States courts against the grand jury in various state laws and certain state constitutions in 1915 the Supreme court declared the "temporary clause of the state of Oklahoma unconstitutional, as it did in 1917 the law of negotiation ordinance. The Urban League and the N. A. A. C. P. stand in about the relation as the right hand to the left, and vice versa; both are very necessary and should have our hearts support. They work along different routes, yet they have our material well-being, a man has little heart for principles; without all his rights and privileges, material accumulations are as Dead Sea fruit, and fail to appease the hunger for real living.

CITIZENS filed a petition with the mayor and board of city commissioners asking that a trained nurse be appointed to work under the direction of the health department for the betterment of conditions among the proper classes. It was pointed out that the death rate was largely out of each 1,000, against 10.86, while the birth rate was 10.72 per 1,000, against a white population of 19; that a competent visiting nurse, going into the homes and sick rooms poor, showing them how properly to care for the ill and how to keep the home clean and sanitary, both inside and out, will lessen the death rate and raise the standard of the city's morale.

CHICAGO DEFENDER C. A. Rogers. THE VENEREAL DRIVE GONORRHEA ("Damaged Goods") Serious Complications complications are quite common, in fact more than once was thought to be even by the medical profession. As we go along, we pick up little bits of knowledge here and there and by correlating these little bits of knowledge in the course of a few years we have much with which to guide our steps along the pathway of life. Germ Disease—Gonorrhea being due to a germ and not "a cold" or "a strain" or some other nonsensical term is very out of place in the part affected, extending often into the deeper tissues and there setting up serious complications. Stricture is one of the common complications resulting from a chronic case of gonorrheal infection. The stricture may be the result of neglect in treatment or an incorrect or an imminent infection in the early stage. Ask a man who has a stricture resulting from gonorrheal, if he would rather have an ordinary cold than this painful, inconvenient urethral stricture, which in 99 cases out of 100 is traceable to an old gonorrheal infection. These strictures cause great loss of time and the expenditure of resources of money for treatment and operation. Gonorrheal Rheumatism, or gonorrheal arthritis, is another serious complication following a gonorrheal infection, which may affect any part of the joints of the body, especially of the fovea. This complication parts become very largely swollen, stiff, painful, sometimes cripping the individual for life. Gonorrheal rheumatism or arthritis resulting from gonorrheal infection is more serious, more painful, more damaging, more handicapping than any ordinary cold or "strain." Heart Disease—A crippled heart is often a result of gonorrheal infection—the gonorrheal gorm gets into the blood and lodges often in the muscles of the heart. It sets up a severe inflammation that interferes with the normal functional activity of the heart muscles, resulting in permanent heart disease—Myocarditis. Endocarditis, etc., and this complication, too, is worse than an ordinary infection. There are more than any gonorrheal strain that young fellows so flippantly speak about. flying your high opinion of yourself and at the same time you are sterile, possibly you yourself are suffering from urethral stricture, chronic gonorrhea before you can enterion are reasonable hope of being able to biget children. Cystitis—Inflammation of the bladder is another compilation of gonorrheal infection—the gonorrheal germs often up the urethra and often set up a violent inflammation of the bladder. may extend from the bladder, by ascending process, and badly infect (disease) the kidneys. In fact, gonorrheal infection in the male may result in a total destruction or a per- fusion of the bladder and injury to all of the genital organs (privates) of the male sex. Eye Infection in the Adult—We are not going to speak at this time of eye infection in the new born, but we want to mention the serious gonorrhea that often occurs in the adult. This infection is brought about largely by men who do not wash their hands after washing and dressing the parts. If you are not careful, and bring your fingers in contact with your eyes, nose or mouth, you will seriously infect these parts of the body and a gonorrheal infection of the eyes, if not promptly and properly treated, will surely result in a gonorrheal infection of the nose, as a person being picked at with a dirty or infected hand, will give you a most serious and long-lasting nasal catarrh. Be careful and not infect your eyes your nose or mouth, and be very careful also, not to make it possible for other people to become infected. This can be done by putting yourself under a sterile physician and following his instructions to the letter, by being clean careful—in fact, by strictly observing and following out to the minimum the Lawe of Person Hygiene. Just a Plain Skunk Editor Chicago Defender. Sir: Your issue of May 18 containing an article concerning the conduct of Principal G. P. Hamilton, of the Kortrecht High school of this city, interested me so that I want to relate through your valuable columns some valuable information and comments as to this discredited, indolent and one-time Race "champeen," as he styled himself. I have known Hamilton a number of years, and upon investigation he will be found to be the same type of man as the Hon. Proff. Reld, of Wilson, N. C. For the last ten years, more or less, one force and another the Board of Education came upon to investigate conditions at Hamilton's school and to look into the ethical fitness of this great leader; he has been before the courts on numerous occasions proving and defending, making himself ridiculous. The citizens of this city certainly have not developed any self-respect in him; his exploits during these years have honored; divorce softened and without honor; divorce softened and without ground work against Race men and women are visible demonstrations of the citizens' moral attitude towards him. There is little hope for the Colored children of Memphis, influenced by such a leader at the head of their High-school. The exhibited industrial disregard for law and order, personal obligation and spectability, can be traced to such persons as Hamilton. I think that instead of Hamilton trying to force the High school students to purchase a copy of the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs' book for anything but music, he purge his entire system and think what damage he is doing his Race, branding Not high-raised battlement or labored mound. Thick wall or mounted gate: Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned: Not bays and broad-armed ports. Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride: Not starred and spangled courts. Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride. No. Men, high-minded men. With pretense as far above dull brutes used in forest. In forest, intake or den. As beasts excel cold rocks and bramble rude— Men who their duties know. But know their rights and, know- ing, dare maintain. Prevent the long-aimed blow. And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain. These capture n state; and sovereign law, that state's collect ed will. Over throne and globe clate. Sits empress, crowning good, re- pressing ill. By Ben Baker Decoration day gives us pause. And well it might, this year. Within the twelfth month our nation has made the greatest transformation of its history, the greatest transformation of our million slaves were unbound from the skies of human oppression. Thought-centered in material development and commercial achievement, loving peace, we have laid aside our regular duties and are face to face with the world's greatest enemy. It has just been officially announced that more than 500,000 of our citizens of peace, transformed into soldiers of war, are now "somewhere in France," that before the present year passes away more than 2,000,000 will be on the battlefield. We are now 2,000,000 in the making of soldiers. A short time ago Gen. Leonard Wood (who has been more or less in the public eye) returned from France and brought the message, "5,000,000 men public" some scored at his plea then, but received a Peace Wilson seriously asked the question. Why limit the number to 5,000,000?" We are in this war to win, and win we must. The "we" is used advisedly. To our people everywhere we make Gain in on the "we". We are constant in our chances and beaming how the "other fellow" gets along. But too often we regard ourselves "on the outside looking in." rather than "on the inside looking out." We are "really more than we?" We have shed their blood first, last and all the time. Crispus Attucks, the first to shed his blood for American liberty: Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, who last week put wild eyed Germans, while life blood streamed from their battle wounds. Who have given more of service and devotion than we. In every field of American achievement we have been there. Like Washington, we have been placed in war and first in peace, but not always we have been first in the hearts of our countrymen. It for the purpose of having the privilege of simple justice that we have our breasts now to the enemy's guns. We love America. Ours is a nation of marvelous and magnificent opportunities. Many of us have been put to the test, thank God, we have never faltered. It is cause for just pride, in the midst of rumors of traitors and seditionists, no such charges are laid at our doors, even by our bitterest foes. As we march off to war some have even dared to scout at us, but with the eye of faith we have seen Justice upon them the elements of shame and dishonor. You may publish this letter in your next issue, if you so desire. The Colored people of Memphis would like to have lived in Honorable W. Allison Sweeney in regard to this Race "champeen." I am RESPECTUALLY, RESPECTUALLY, ETERNALLY WITH. 399 Wellington ST, Memphis, Tenn. Courage and Cowardice HE gave a magnificent example of bravery and energy," says General Foch of the French army of Henry Johnson. "A good and brave soldier," he says of Needham Roberts, whose life Johnson saved. "Both men fought bravely," says General Pershing, formerly with the Tenth cavalry, in his official communique. They beat off an attack of twenty-five Germans, forcing them to flee. For their bravery and valor each is to be given the French cross, and in addition Johnson is to get the coveted palm. The conduct of these two men, like many others of their Race while under fire, is to be commended. They are fighting for a cause. Answering this tremendous call to arm for the democracy of the world. While many seem much surprised at this demonstrated heroism, we ask them to pause and think over the wars of the United States in which this same fearless patriotic attitude has been maintained and sustained with unvarying excellence that has in turn given to our Race a place in history both honored and respected. In the same paper carrying the deeds of heroism of those who were offering up their lives on the altar of democracy were news dispatches describing a horrible lynching by a lawless mob in the state of Georgia; five men and one woman were offered as a sacrifice to appease the fiendish desire of those whose conscience knows no restraint and whose barbarism knows no limitations. One of those lynched was charged with killing a white farmer. Not charged in the due process of law, but charged by "gossip." The woman, Mrs. Mary Turner, was brutally lynched a few hours after her husband. She was so unfortunate as to have made the remark in a moment of stress that it was wrong to kill her husband. For that she paid the penalty of the Georgia code of law. The question arises, what is the state of Georgia going to do about it? The answer comes spontaneously—NOTHING. The woman is dead. She was hanged to a tree and her body riddled with bullets. This happened in Georgia. This was a woman. She was not permitted even the attention of another woman in this trying and ending crisis of her existence. All people must protest against this fiendish barbarism or else be branded as criminals at heart. The governor of the state of Georgia must do something. He must realize that a state which permits such atrocities as have occurred so numerously in his state is itself showing signs of decay. Is it possible that these prophets and advocates of state rights are going to permit such forms of lawlessness to destroy the ideal of their advocacy? If necessary to maintain the high ideals and spirit of democracy laid down by the president of the United States to place under martial law the entire South, especially those states that show absolute disregard for the fundamental principle for which we are giving our lives and our all to maintain, then let martial law be declared. Gov. Dorsey unfortunately was elected governor of Georgia on lynching sentiment. That is, sympathizers of lynchers and their friends put him in the governor's chair. It will be recalled that he played a very prominent part in the trial of Leo Frank, and it is also to be remembered that soon thereafter he became the chief executive of the state of Georgia. This is not the first time that a woman has been lynched in that state. We recall that recently, at or near Leary, Ga., a mother was brutally murdered for trying to protect her young son. All power to the Chronicle of Augusta, Ga., in its efforts to awaken the people to the true sense of their duty. We quote the following editorial without further comment: "This and scores upon scores of other lynchings that have occurred in this state within recent years have gone absolutely unpunished. A protest from the press, an expression of disapproval, here and there, from the public, the perfunctory offering of rewards for the lynchers—and there was an end to it. "Not a single individual has been made to pay the penalty for these crimes. Not a serious effort has been made to apprehend and punish the perpetrators of them. "Is it any wonder then—assuming that men can be found who are so cowardly and inhuman as to take part in such outrages—that lynchings continue to occur in Georgia? "And Lowndes county—one of the most prosperous and progressive counties in the state; with as cultured and noble people in it as are to be found anywhere on earth—what will be its answer? What will its good people do to punish this crime of crimes and, in a measure at least, wipe away this stain? "Or are such people outnumbered within its borders? Must its law-officers give more heed to the ignorant and lawless of its population? "But when we recall that this county, with its neighboring county of Brooks, has been the hotbed of 'anti-dip-vat' sentiment; that many of its citizens deliberately dynamited government-operated plants for eradicating the cattle tick in that county—and when we see, at this very time, that in the published list of 'deserters' under the draft law Lowndes county easily 'leads all the rest,' any forty other counties, in fact, with 211 'deserters'—we are compelled to confess that we fear for the power and influence of its better element and really look for little or nothing to be done toward apprehending and punishing the cowardly murderers of Mary Turner, the poor woman who made 'unwise remarks' about the lynching of her husband; 'a new capital offense in Georgia.'" In France two volunteers of our Race, badly wounded, give an example of courage and energy in the defense of democracy which is deemed worthy of citation before a whole army division and by Gen. Pershing. In one of the leading states of the South a woman is put to death by a mob, without companionship of her sex, without benefit of clergy, without evidence or plea, in defiance of law and justice. With tens of thousands of our Race fighting for civilization in France under the American flag, how much longer are the American people to tolerate lynchings? sitting on the Throne, and to the tune of "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord."

"Righteousness exalteth a nation" and our glorious nation is to be exalted, and we are to be an equal and exactly just person, and we will believe it? It is true. It does not require a prophet to see the signs of the times. The big, big question is: Are we prepared? It doesn't matter who we are, or where we live, some of the big job of "getting there," except in escaping it. If we are careless, indifferent, envious, doubling, mean or cursed we are retarding the game. The thing for all to do is to take stock now, during this patriotic week, and find out whether we are a "clog" or a "cog." If we are a "clog" we use a path of progress; if we are a "cog" let us be thankful for the chance to "do our bit," and say, friend, let us do it with a will. Let us keep the corners of our mouths turned up towards the sun, instead of turned down to touch the ground. If we do not practice the art of smiling and the smiles will come back like radiant sunshine at noday. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is really right. "All this old world wants Do you want dividends of joy?
