17-Year-Old Mother Goes to House of Correction; White Pawnbroker Is Accused
It was one of the saddest of heart stories that fell from the lips of Mrs. Hattie Downing, 352 West Thirteenth street, when she sat before Deputy Coroner Spears in the chapel of Mrs. Johnson's undertaking establishment at 3311 State street Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the inquest over the body of 4-month-old Baby Albert McWilliams, who died at St. Luke's hospital Monday morning, presumably from poisoning. It was Mrs. Downing's little grandchild, whose tender, frail, but troubled life had caused the grandmother to fear that some one was trying to kill the child, and bring an end to a drama of sensations. She watched the child with a grandmother's tenderest care, fearing for its safety, but determined that hands from taking its little life. Whether some one fed the child upon poison, which killed it, will not be known until the chemists make their upon the contents of the baby's stomach, which will determine the cause of its death.
Girl Was Demented
Mrs. Downing's daughter, Alberta, 17 years old, was confined in the insane asylum at Dunning a little more than two years old, and 15 years old. In a short time she improved and was released, but was soon beyond her mother's control. She was wounded in the attack, and in spite of her mother's watchful eye she straysed from the path of virtue, and Baby Albert was an amputated limb. Mrs. Downing, almost heartbroken at her daughter's disgrace, still pitied her, kept her in her home, but was determined to bring the cause of her ruin to the court. She paid the penalty for ruining her child. Alberta said that the father of the child was Nierman, a State attorney, who immediate steps to thwart the matter. Alberta is under a year of age and should be held in the law of one year in the house of correction and a fine for contributing to the delinquency of a child. At first Alberta was indicted for her parentage of her child, but when she found out that her mother intended to bring the father to justice and persecuted that she would not testify against him, and she would say that his clerk was the father of the child.
Nierman Threatens Arrest
When Mrs. Downing went to Nierman's daughter, he threatened to have her arrested, and this brought matters to a climax. Mrs. Downing was sent to Attorneys F. Barnett who at once premeditated to help the purpose of fixing the responsibility of the father of the child, and also to bring the matter to the attention of the court if a crime had been committed.
In this way the life of this unfortunate baby was menaced, because its comical behavior a living thing, mess its father was a living thing, Mrs. Downing saw actions on the part of Albert which aroused suspicion that the child's life was in danger. She said that the baby was a victim to Assistant State's Attorney Hoagn of the Juvenile court, who took action to bring Alberta into court. She said that the baby was a victim to time Mrs. Downing saw that Alberta had the baby in the buggy on the street to take it out, saying the baby was never coming back again. That time Mrs. Downing saw that Alberta had the baby in the buggy on the street to take it from the grandmother, when a crowd gathered, and that Alberta sized her mother by the thigh, threw her to the ground, beating, gonging and scratching her face and neck before bystanders could take her
Child Dies Suddenly
Then the Juvenile court took Alberta and placed her in the detention home to await trial. Two days after Alberta was taken away the baby became sick, Mrs. Downing called a doctor in the neighborhood, but his medicine appearing to do no good, she called Dr. Bibbs, who made an examination of the child. Downing told the coroner that Dr. Bibbs said "There is something in the child's stomach. You had better take it to the hospital, because if the child was sick, you would not want to take the child to the hospital, but Dr. Bibbs told her he would not call again. Because the child continued to go to St. Luke's hospital Tuesday of last week. It lingered and suffered until Monday morning and died. A postmortem examination was held, the contents of the carriage and the result will be renetted to the state's attorney.
This tragedy cries out for justice. If a child just a few months out of an asylum is to be murdered by his mother, his protests, threatened with arrest, and then because the child is a living proof against its father, if it is to be killed to destroy that proof, there is law Chicago to bring the guilty to justice.

HAVE YOU BECOME
21 SINCE JUNE 5?
REGISTER AUG. 24
WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 23.—The war department has asked that the following statement be reiterated: "All male persons who have reached their 21st birthday since June 5, 1918, and on or before Aug. 24, 1918, must register on Aug. 24, 1918. "These men should consult with local draft boards as to how and when they should register." It is apprehended that unless some general agreement of announcing the Aug. 24 registration is adopted, it will be lost sight of the publicity that will attend consideration by congress of the new draft age law and registration next month of those who will be included in the new age limits.

President Wilson Brands Ex-Gov. Blease of S.C.as "Undesirable"
Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 23—Ex-Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, whose influence and efforts have made for the demoralization of its constituents, has been said by President Wilson to be an unit candidate to represent the State of South Carolina in the highest position. This consignment of ex-Governor Blease by the president, along with Senator Jas. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, the president obliteration shows the president denial in the public life of our country men whose activities have poisoned the economic and political institution of our nation, and the president is another step toward obliterating from our midst German Kutturn.

In a letter addressed to Thomas H. Dawson (a), a local newspaperman, in expression of his dislike for the race in this state which for
Officials of the coroner's office and police of the Third precinct station, Twenty-sixth street and Cottage Grove avenue, Monday morning began an investigation into the death of Mrs. Alice Boyd, 2941 Dearborn street. Police, having been called by neighbor Robert Bentley, had come from the Boyd apartment about 5 o'clock, broke into her apartment, and after making their way over upset furrow, found the woman strewed over the floor, found the woman dead, and had in her possession was missing.

WHITE DOCTOR HELD ON CHARGE
Charleston, S. C. Aug. 23—Advertising his profession as a "Bust Developer." Dr. Charles Davis (white), with an office at 1400 Broadway, is said to have endeavored to demonstrate his expertise in the 1838th street, who called at his office in answer to a "help_wanted" advertisement placed in one of the local papers. Mrs. Francis asserted in the trial body that she engaged as a doctor appeared at the "doctors" office in person he seized her, tore the clothes from her body and committed rape. Davis is being held on a $1,000 bond, with the rest of the case at, the Specialist, Sessions court.
mer governor Cole L. Blesse is a candidate, the president says: "Let me say that I have perfect confidence that the people of South Carolina will judge rightly in the senatorial contest and I have not the least fear the new governor that Mr. Blesse is or can be a friend of the administration.
"The record of his opinion is already written, and it is a little late to expunge it." In Dead, Blease Forgotten. The above statement sounds the death-knell to the political ambition of the carpet-bag statesman. Unfortunately for Mr. Blease, he has wasted the greater part of his life endeavoring to establish fundamental principles of this country. He will leave political life unmourned and unwept. South Carolina can congratulate herself, as well as the nation upon the death of Ben Tillman and the political demise of Cole L. Blease.
New York, Aug. 23.—Declaring that he was born in 1771, William Mason, who lived for years in the basement at 183 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, died last Thursday in his home in 147 years. His only companion during the last years of life was a big St. Bernard dog, and neighbors claimed that he was a man of humane intellect. According to Mason, to a few weeks ago made his rounds on crutches and did street preach-ers who had been through five great wars.
A relative of the old man said that he was born in Richmond, Va., and shortly after the civil war came north, days and one night he was room several days, and one night he was in such a plight as to be unable help himself, neighbors called an ambulance from Harlem hospital. The old man, however, was taken to Bellefonte, where he died of pneumonia and heart trouble. Of his death he was totally blind. Mason was often seen sitting on a stool at various corners, solliciting pennies from the passing throngs. It was on a rainy day, a pension, that he lived. The only known member of Mason was Martha Mason, who resides at 24 West Ninety-ninth street.

Beat Vardaman in Senate Race
Jackson, Miss., Aug. 23. In answer to the plea sent out by President Willis, days ago, Mississippi voters concerted overwhelming defeat to Senator James K. Vardaman in the Democratic senatorial primaries held throughout the state, with the grassman Patrick Harrison, whose final majority will probably reach 20,000. Complete returns from fifty-two out of the 100 primaries will give Harrison a majority of more than 10,000. It is estimated that Vardaman will run a poor third, as former Gov. Nocif, who is also in the race, will draw from former Vardaman supporters.
Denounced by President
Demonounced by President President answering an inquiry propounded to him by political leaders of Mississippi, said he would regard the re-election of Vardaman as "a condemnation of my state." The words from the mouth of the chief executive of the nation came as a hammer blow to the Vardaman as to other political camps and broke the chains that once held the senator firm in the nation's capital. The defeat given Senator Vardaman on this occasion, the second primary unnecessary, and before his name will be stamped the insignia of defeat, the old "ox." He was wasted a larger part of his time condemning our Race with scurrilous phrases, and attracting countrywide attention by his unrestricted appeals to race prejudice, a ville attacks upon our group deserted him at the eleventh hour and left him adrift in the political sea. It was a ville attack on Senator Vardaman sank beneath the surface to political oblivion.

Paints Fine Pictures
New York, Aug. 23—On Lenox avenue, in the heart of Harlem, is an art studio that harbors one of the best artists that the Race has. The casual Harlemite, strolling along his Broadway (Lenox avenue) has often noticed a lady sitting in the little courtyard of No. 451, industriously, working on a piece of canvas. They carelessly watch for a car, grinding out an air or two, and pass on, little aware perhaps that they are

Toussaint. Toussaint studio. Strolling into the courtyard, the reporter respectfully watched the young lady work, unwilling to work. In an hour, he at work. In a few minutes, however, the lady looked up, and, introducing himself, the reporter asked an interlocutor, the way into her studio. Here a profusion of pictures, all the personal work of the artist, greeted the eye. Subsequently that varied from prize fighters to ministers to battle ones greeted the eye.
Writes and Paints Story
Noticing the picture that created such a furore in New York, "Charge of the Colored Division Somewhere in France," the reporter was surprised to see Toussaint. It was then explained that this picture is the second episode in a story, the creation of which is the story of the soldier leaving the cruisers. The first episode, "Leaving Home," is a fine bit of work, showing a soldier boy leaving his old home, evidently in the country, bidding a fond farewell to war. Of course all the characters are of the Race. The second shows the boy "somewhere in France, valiantly fighting on a raging battle." The third shows the interior of a comfortable Race home and the old mother reading "A Letter From Home." The devoted soldier boy has written, while in the background is depicted what the boy is saying. The fourth, another soldier boy has written, wounded, and here the artistic brain of the artist has led her to paint a Red Cross nurse of the Race attending the wounded Race soldier, wildly beckoning the soldier, the last episodes, have not yet been painted, but the madame explained that in the fifth the soldier is by his side, and in the final picture a triumphant homecoming is depicted.

A REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY
FOR WORKINGMEN
New York, Aug. 23.—The Patterson Suburban Homes Corporation are owners of a very extensive and desirable tract of land, which they have been developing without regard to cost with the idea in mind of providing homes for the elderly and those who are attractive in every way and where a man can live with his family in quiet and comfort, cultivating his own little garden and putting the rent which would ordinarily go to the landlord into payments on his own property. The property is located on River Road, a beautifully improved state road, and is within a short walk to the Hudson River trolley line, which carries passengers either to Paterson or the 130th street ferry in New York. It is about ten minutes' walk from the West River and railroad station on Erie Railroad City only two miles from the city of New York. The property is now being improved. Lots are staked out, with sign posts on the corners of each intersecting street, and in the near future sidewalks will be laid on a portion of the property. The property is also sold on the easy payment plan at very low prices, within the reach of the medium working class people. The Patterson Suburban Homes Corporation offers to all their lot purchasers an opportunity to build their own homes in this town, and the balance in small monthly payments like offering a great opportunity for them to own their own homes. They are advertising in this newspaper to the subscribers and readers and opportunity to buy one of these lots for $399. in order to advertise their promotion. The main office of the Paterson Homes Corporation is located at 137th street, New York City.

Making Inquiries Regarding Proposed Hotel
New York, Aug. 23.—This office was recently asked if it had any information as to the new hotel that had been planned to be built on 7th ave. the Van-Astor, last company, called the Van-Astor, last company, called the intensive plans of a very elaborate building that was to be built at a cost of $1,000,000. It was to contain every possible thing making for elegance and comfort, including a $20,000 pipe organ. We thought it would be a general manager, Louie F. Baldwin, and asked him concerning the deal. From Baldwin a reporter for the Defender Learned that the Race had subscribed but $2,000 of the $200,000 they received into the capital, other $800,000 has been put into the deal by Norwegian capitalists, and according to Baldwin, that money is now on deposit with the Scandinavian Trust company, downtown. This $300,000 has been purchased and was their share in the agreement, the 20 per cent to come from the Race. Asked why they had not begun building, since the property, according to Baldwin, has been purchased, the gen manager replied that it was not a good deal. The other $800,000 had been paid in, in order not to begin building, and then being forced to stop with the place half finished. To avoid this plans are now under way have the other $200,000 put in by the gen manager, and the original $800,000, and Baldwin acts the deal to be put through in the near future.

WAR PLANTS NEED WOMEN
New York, N. Y., Aug. 23.—When the new draft has become operative, it is said that the war plants will be in need of thousands of women workers. In that emergency, as in previous ones, the industrial barrier that has long protected women is clearly away. Miss Louise C. Odencrantz, state supervisor of the women's division of the United States Employment Service, says that the many jobs on hand will pay women from the military and other works; munition plants or bandage Trained workers even in clerical work, are badly needed, and but a few weeks training would fit a girl for these simple technical jobs. We respectfully invite our porter women on the railways to join us, and warn that money, to look into this. It is a clever opportunity to get away from the degrading work they are now doing.

Gerland, himself an’ aviator, plays

tucular aeroplane flights which have a

tory aro unfolded to show the deeds of
Frederick It of Prussia and the In-
structions of the present kaleer in his
war policies by Bismarck—then the
events leading up to the present sac-
rificing of the flower of nations, Ro-
mance plays its part In this exciting
picture, showing that love and loyalty

I personally know that every man and woman will be able to work with me, and that—to that is, fair treatment and square dealing without regard to what race they belong. I know him to have the same man and woman as he would have them treat him. My hope is that he will receive the nomination and after he is elected to the office which he seeks."
F. L. Barnett, who was for seventeen years one of the assistant state's attorneys of Cook county, said: "I have Barnett, who is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for member of the board of review, for a number of years, and will properly put before the people of my Race, will receive spontaneous favor." During Mr. Barnett's long term as assistant state attorney he was well known and respected by lawyers at the bar, his considerate treatment and fair and impartial dealing in the handling of all cases in the county were one of the stakes stamped him as one who lived beyond the pale of prejudice. The office sought by Mr. Barnett deals with the taxes affecting the property right of the county, and intends acquaintance with him I can assure all of my friends that the most humble citizen, regardless of his race or condition, will be treated with the same degree as the wealthiest property owner.
Hon. Hale G. Parker, who has practiced law in this city for a number of years and who is recognized as a man of integrity and standing, sold of Mr. Barrett: "I am very glad to hear of the candidacy of Charles V. Barrett for the Republican nomination for member of the board of review, because it gives me stability and standing, sold of Mr. Barrett to elect a real friend of the Colored people.
"I have known him and his brother, Jerry Barrett, and his years. I know that while Charles V. Barrett was an assistant state's attorney, the Colored man received the same fair treatment as a white man, and I
MAKE THE SOLID BOYS HAPPY BY BEING A KASHMIR GIRL
"Beauty is only skin deep," says an old adage. When you think of it, however, that is deep enough. It is especially deep enough if you are willing to pay heed to the "Kashmir Way."
There is no question but what beauty is an inspiration everywhere. In all places and in all ages women of beauty have been an inspiration to men. The more beautiful the women the greater the inspiration.
For a beautiful woman a man will even dare to die. Women have not
they have been the constant inspiration of officers and privateers. The picture of the soldier, the mind of the soldiers have been the means of urging them on to battle with the foe in order that those loved ones, in all that loveliness, might have the liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What has always been true in that respect is true today in the world's most diverse cultures, and thousands of our boys are at the battle front in France; thousands and other thousands are here preparing to go. Woman, what are you prepared to do? Physically beautiful in order that you may be of the greatest inspiration to your brother, husband or sweetheart you are to "The Kashmir Way" offers to you the greatest opportunity. It is a patriotic duty for you to develop physically as well as mentally and spiritually. The beauty vanity has passed away and the new woman takes pride in her personal appearance, which produces charms that make for greater success and happi-

Kashmir is the Kashmir boy at the front he happier when they know you are a "Kashmir Girl"
KASHMIR
know that in Judge Barrett's court a Colored man always gets a fair trial. I shall do all I can for him, because I know that he will be safe and we will have an honest man in office. "These are golden moments for the Colored people of this country—the moments so full of opportunity to lift, to power men, to power women not only make them safe for colonization, but also safe for its Colored citizens, who now so uncompellingly are sacrificing their lives for a genuine world democracy. We must have Charles V. Barrett as an exceptional instance of courage and ability."
Albert B. George, a well known and successful attorney with offices in the Ashland block, spoke of Mr. Barrett as he made up of men of the highest grade and from my long acquaintance with Charles V. Barrett I know that he measures up to the highest requirement, and his tenure of office as assistant state attorney that he was a thorough American, honest, fearless, and broad-minded; that in doing his duty he was absorbed in the creed or nationality; that the Colonel man received just as fair treatment as the whites, and I further know that he came by these traits naturally, for his intelligence, and his election to the bench, has earned a far-reaching reputation for absolute fairness to every class and every people, whether rich or poor, white or black. "I wish that every member of my Race knew him as I do, and I shall exert every possible effort and wholesome influence within my power to enable his nomination in the primaries."
Faustin D. Delaway, one of the younger members of the bar, said of the candidacy of Mr. Delaway that him as eminently fit for membership on the board of review. His long experience as a public official, his rare exception of ability as a lawyer gives him a far superior fighting ability. Simply qualify him to sit in judgment on the property rights of his constitution.
"I deem it a pleasure to indorse his candidacy and to recommend him to my friends."
It can be easily discerned from the above statement that the candidacy of Charles Barrett is impetus from our people of fundamental importance. It behooves every one man to manifest an interest in his candidacy and to impress upon his friends and neighbors the necessity of having a man on the board of review whose fair treatment of all the people has been witnessed by the leading members of our Race.

There was an altercation in the sheep department at Armour's a few days ago and the report is that the white man who was the aggressor was let off the hook and a member of the Race was "fired." The man who work there claim that Mr. Otto (white) should have "fired" both or should have taken both back. There was a fight between the two and firing, and if Mr. Otto wants the good will, respect, peace and harmony of all in his department he should treat all alike.

Our Board of Directors in order to raise enough money to purchase a few more tanks, to purchase a larger pump, to finish connecting up our wells and to begin the DRILLING of Wall No. 4, have decided to place a few more shares of Square Deal Oil Stock on the market, to be sold and sacrificed at the very low price of $3.00 per share. As soon as this allotment had been disposed of the next quotation of this stock will, in all probability, be from $10.00 to $25.00 per share.
We are not asking you to carefully READ this ad because our company is the first great and successful NEGRO OIL COMPANY in this section of the country, nor because it is published in the greatest Negro Newspaper; but because that which we publish is true, that which we advertise we will back up; and, lastly, because we are here offering you a chance of a lifetime—an opportunity to share INDISCRIMINATELY in the earnings of millions, the same as the other fellow has done.
This war for Democracy is bringing great things to pass for the Negro. Our Government is greatly in need of oil. Every dollar invested in this manner is a patriotic duty. The Negro in this country who fails to assist his government in these great times of need, the one who fails to grasp the great opportunities which are now knocking at his door, will, after this victory war is over, live in want and poverty, and be looked upon by his fellow countrymen with CONTEMPT AND SCORNFEL
Our stock is selling like "wildfire" at $3.00 per share. A few dollars invested in this company will in the near future mean prosperity and happiness. Remember—the more stock you own the larger your dividends will be. You can "get in" you hurry, you should buy and encourage your friends to buy your stock so that you can possibly get. We told you our company would strike oil, we got it, and lots of it. The wells we have already drilled are our starter. We expect to drill well after well until we have a great

Kaiser Better Not Underestimate the Fighting Ability of 'Our Boys'

AMERIC
Kaiser Better Not
the Fighting Ab
By A. Spink
The kaiser is poking fun at some of
our troops in England and France and
says they will not fight.
The kaiser is not as well posted on
the Negro as a fighter as are some
people in this country. I have seen
the gameness tested many a time in
the prize ring and better fighters than
the bloks I have never seen.
There is a stone in Baltimore which marks the last resting place of George Washington, the featherweight pugilist of America, and later the lightweight champion. Some one has had engraved on this stone the words: "Hit the gamer fightter that ever lived." I saw Dixon in many a battle and I can remember the tense battle on his tombstone. And there have been other Negro boxers nearly as game and successful as Dixon. I perhaps have seen an exhibition perhaps on many art than given by Peter Jackson, then champion heavyweight of Australia, and then the boxer who called him down Boston was that when George was one of the
A. B. C.'S WALLOP NEW YORK RED CAPS
Indianapolis, Aug. 13—Taylor A. B. C's showed the easterners how the baseball game is played in the West at Washington Park, when they defeated the Cats in five games. In the first contest they played hard, but managed to keep his hits well scattered, and won the contest, while in the second game Manager Taylor A. B. C's played Williams because of the great number of off-side hitters on the New York team. His choice was good, as Joffries had only five hits and won his game, 5 to 4.
The base running of the A's was too much for the Red Caps. Time after throwing the ball, the New Yorkers would start running the ball, with the result that the play usually ended with one of the eastern players throwing the ball away. How the Cats' catcher, was remarkable, he cutting down seven runners in the second game.
Mukes was on the hill in the fat game and was nicked rather hard, but he kept his hits well scattered, except in the third inning, when four hits were made, with only one run being
Start in First Round
The A's went right after the Red Caps in the first inning of the first game. Silvieley singled to right and then scored the bag on Pearce's perfect throw. Silvieley went to third and continued home on Baynard's poor throw to third, while Lyons was being extinguished and ran to first to make the putout. On Charleston's fielders' choice Mallarher scored, and Oscar went to second and then stole third, where he was caught and scored the fourth round on three hits. Three more blows in the next round counted one more run. The Red Caps got one tally in the second round and scored the fourth session. However, Dismukes was in hot water of the time and only sensational fielding by Clark and other members. local team kept him from being stood on more than he
Probably one of the greatest catches ever made in Washington Park was a catch by Charles Stabler of Charleston stabbed a drive in right center that was labeled three bases. Parks grabbed a toe-hold as the first man up in the third round and sent the ball to Stabler. Charleston was away with the crack of the bat and by wonderful, speed reached the ball with his gloved hand. He was given a huge round of cheers.
Jeffries Has the Stuff
In the second game Jeffries was on the hill and the port-sider had a huge amount of stuff and only five hits were taken. Jeffries was called 4 at 5 o'clock as the game was called at 6 o'clock. In the seventh round the Red Caps got to Jeffries and collected three runs on two bats and came within one run of Jeffries in the third round. Jeffries only walk and want to second on Calver's hit to right. Pearce singled to center and the bases were full. Jeffries hit the third round and runs crossed the plate. On Cummings' fielder's choice, the third tally counted. Bailey then grounded to B. Taylor. The A. A. got to towel the third inning for six hits, which were good for three runs. Four hits in the fifth round were good for two more runs. Chalreastron's hitting in this concluding game was out of three and for a double Lyon and Taylor also connected for long drives.

Local Fighters at Camp Grant

and are stationed at Camp Grant.
C4-C513
crackerjack fighters of the heavy brigade.
They two fought a battle in 1888 before the California Athletic club in San Francisco, the longest fight in Jackson's career on this side up to the time, and which he won in nineteen games. One of the games of that decade.
To the students of boxing none better could be selected for analysis. Two of them helped their utmost from the very start.
Jackson Wonderful Fighter
Godfrey, with skillful impetuosity, pluck and stamina, maintaining his reasoning capacity throughout from his quilting to his feedly praised; nothing more could be said—words enough. His keeping his senses alert to the end and stopping—quitting—when all was lost beyond him, only to emphasize the many man. Jackson, illustrating every phase of the game, Queensberry, with a hiatus at the end of the year, cross-buttock throw in the second round), showed his wonderful mastery of the boxer's art. His delight in the retreat, peculiarly his own, was wonderfully suited to his build. As he started to jump backward, his bobbin held up to the left arm, his long left arm, quickly extended, with open hand, enabled him, with the tips of his fingers touching the other with a kind of "Don't touch me, please," movement, to save himself from harm. His long lead lead was a beautiful movement, precision exemplified; never overpowered, power enough behind it to faint an ox.
Whitest Man in Ring
This left-hand lead, so ably employed by all old masters, seems to be a lost art with the modern; or exceptional, at least.
Jackson had this to perfection, while his right-handers were not forgotten by his opponents. He was said about his long-range work, much can be said about his short-arm or in-fighting. At this he was a marvel, although he did not like it—as he expressed it. "A long-range work, but don't believe he thought it." His headwork, "physical headwork," was fine. It ducked or it shifted out of the way somehow. The slightest movement of attention generally speaking. "A miss in the headwork was accepted as a maxim by him. All in all, Jackson was one of the very greatest of all boxers or ring fighters. Asked from his merits as a pugilist he was a gentleman out and out, and an honor to his Race. The late George A. Knight, who nominated Mr. Taft for President of the United States, exclaimed that Jackson thusly in a speech before the club: "He is the whitest man in the ring." "Jack" in Class Alone. But there have been other wonderful Negro fighters beside Jackson and Godfrey who when it came to the pinch showed great gameness, and all of whom proved themselves wonderful fighters.
Jack Johnson, Joe Jeanette, Joe
Jack, Joe Valcott
may be mentioned.
may be mentioned in among this class, who had their gameness proved by their often and who stood the gaff well and never once showed the white feather, who had their gameness proved by their hundred years ago, one of them was a black. That was Tom Molloneaux, a jet black, who twice fought for the English championship. Twice, once in 1810 and once in 1811, did Tom face Cribb, a much bigger and more or less on both occasions he stood up and fought, fight no longer. The black man showed great gameness in both battles and man quite well rendered unconscious. They were in war and on other occasions when the Negro proved himself a brave and rame man, and if the kaiser looks so doomed to a bitter disappointment.
INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE
The Industrial Baseball League has had much success in the past week, inasmuch as it was possible to play the teams have been scheduled. All the teams have been scheduled, and some extent by losing players in this last draft and this has caused a little change in the dope. The Armour B. C's Smith's Freestone Premium team has some very good performances, is expected to give the bunch a hard shove. The Quartermasters, with a seemingly invincible team, surprised the team by the suffered a defeat from the Armour B. C's Mays made too many errors and the Armour boys were in the habit of hitting. It is rumored that the Libby's team had acted three new men to their squad and would make a better showing in the pennant race. The Morris Giants and Wilson Tigers are still weak, but at least they are making a better showing. As it is, it is divided into two sections, with five strong teams in the lead and three weak teams struggling at the bottom. The Red Sox are out of the pennant race, and were hardest hit by the Provost Marshall.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
Five of America's Greatest Baseball Artists
GRAND OAK
In the upper picture Manager "Rube" Foster of the American Giants is telling Pitcher Whitworth how he used to foil 'em when he was playing baseball and how he can do it today, if he just listens to him. "Rube" told Whitworth Sunday and in a twelve-inning game won from the Jollets, one of the best semi-pre teams in America. The catcher is Dixon, who work better than Ray Chalk, a good hitter and a fast runner. Mendez, with the bat, the former Cuban pitcher, who now plays in the outfield for the American Giants, did some wonderful work for the day on Sunday at shortstop. He has not lost all games in the game. The other member of the team is Wickware, who has distinguished himself on the diamond as a speed ball artist. "Rube" says with these four and five more he can clean any pro on semi-pre team in the world.
BIG LEAGUE BALL AGAIN
Beloit's Will Tackle American Giants
Sunday at 11 a.m. Day
Day at Sebastian's Park.
Gather around, ye fans. Sunday, Aug. 25, will be one of the biggest days in the annals of Colored baseball in the beginning, it is perhaps the last opener of the season to see four former bright shining lights of the baseball arena perform. Upon this date Wickware, Williams, Grant and Sons, all of whom are now in the league, will be given a country, will be given time off, and they will rejoin their former teammates and help hold back the invading white clubs who are making baseballs left of the once great American Giants fighting squad of the diamond.
Wrist watches and other tokens of memory will be dispensed upon that day; also what is looked upon as a gift will be on tap. The Fairbanks-Morsa team, best known as the Beloits, will be the playing attraction, and if you remember only the last year to Foster's darlings, but even last year, then you know something of the treat that is in store for you.
"Foster is at present in a mighty tough struggle to save his head; yes, that head or needle that has reigned supreme over all managers from time immemorial, is up for managers in their natural life, and the manner in which they fillup their rosters with big league players and the hurried and certain manner in which Uncle Sarn is shearer than the star actors is just about to turn that bad paddle of your Uncle Rube gray.
But, listen. That little bunch of Americans who are still holding the ball in the ringing. This was shown when they exported a crate of gooey eggs to the prison town at the expense of the Joliet will have an opportunity to put up a strong defense Sunday. Petway will have an opportunity which he has become famous, and Gunn will circus stuff around first, and Bobby Williams will again display that arm which he used to grease the booth, and Wickware to pitch the greatest game of his career. Of course there are two games in this prediction: There is going to be some big league baseball out at the ballpark, and you can just stick a lot of these clubs show up with big leaguers and many play under assumed names, but here's the gang you have a chance to take a peek at Sunday:
George Zable, former Cub, Kansas City, Toronto and Los Angeles, pitcher
Bunny Hearne, former Giant, Brave
Dick Kirk, former Milwaukee, pitcher
Dick Kirk, former Milwaukee and
Memphis, left-handed pitcher.
Nate Filley, pitcher, Wisconsin semi-pros.
Pete Allison, former Cub, Cleveland, Southern league, outfielder.
Roy Baxter, Kansas City, Three Eye league, outfielder.
Brown Keesie, former Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, first baseman.
Brown Keesie, former Three Eye, Western leaguer, second base.
Melbourne Stell, former Columbus, Grand Rapids, shortstop.
George Perring, former Cleveland, KKC Tigers, first baseman.
Leo Murphy, former Columbus, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, catcher.
Ray Shook, former White Sox, Three Eve leaguer, catcher.
He played out-prior to the big game the American Giants will play the Cuban Stars at Comiskey park as a part of the big patriotic field day under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Forunters, General Roberto Ortega, and game field and day in Saturday, Aug. 24.

Bathing Contractor’s License Forfeited
for Practicing Discrimination,
‘The owner of the concession for
renting bathing sults at the Sist street
bathing beach took it upon himself
last week to practice a bit of discrim-
ination upon Race peopie in the mat-
ter of the price for renting bathing
sults. This ipractice may Nave Deon
golng on all the summer and perhaps
Would not have been noticea it Pro-
fessor James A. Munday and # visiting
friend had not discovered {t. On one
of the hot days last week they went
to tho bathing beach and took thelr
places in line to rent a bathing sult,
‘The usual and customary charge ts 25
cents for renting and 50 cents deposit
as security, which is given back when
she bathing suit ts returned,
Munday Makes Protest.
When Professor Munday and hie
friend reached the coun:er whero the
bathing suits are delivered, he was told
that the price was 60 cents and the
deposit $1.00. Ho had noticed that
the people preceding him pald 25 cents
and 50 cents. Ho protested, but. {t
availed him naught. “A white gentle-
man Just behind in Une told him that
they Were discriminating and that ho
ought to have the matter looked into.
He paid the amount exacted, took his
bathing sult and the two enjoyed the
cool water of the lake,
‘Phe next day Professor Munday
sought Aldermen Anderson and Jack-
son and lald the case before them.
They immediately took tho matter up
with the commissioner of public works,
Mv, Burkhardt. who was surprised t5
learn that such discrimination was
Practiced and said that ho would im-
mediately investigate the complaint to
ascertain whether or not representa
tions of the aldermen were true. Upon
verifying it, the man owning tho con-
cession was immediately notified that
his contract had beon forfelted and
that ho would no longer be permitted
the privilege.
Notify Alderman Anderson,
Professor Munday was notified by
the aldermen of tho result of thelr
Protest in the matter and he expressed
himself as being grateful for thelr en-
ergotic action and the quick results
obtained. Tho Defender would sug-
gest that when theso Incidents ariso

DRAFTED, SAYS BAKER
‘Washington, D. C., Aug, 23—Exist-
ing draft regulation as to married men
‘will continue in forco was the reply of
Secretary of War Baker to Senator
Chamberlain who, recently wrote the
secretary, saying if [t was true that de-
ferred classification of married men
generally, was contemplated many son-
ators would oppose lowering the pres-
ent draft'age to 18 years. He stated
further that:
“The present situation with regard
to married men in class one ts that
four classes of married men are in-
cluded within the limits of that class:
“First, married men who do not sup-
port thelr wives or families,
“Second; married men whose wives
support ther.
“Third, married men whose wives
have adequate independent means.
“Fourth, married men engaged in
useless occupations and who are not
the main or principal support of their
families,
“There is no intention to change this
situation,
“In construing the regulations with
regard to dependency of wiver and
chitdren fnanciat dependency has been
Tooked upon as the reason for deterred
classification. This will continue to be
‘the case.” ;
|_ When questioned relative to “slacker
marriages,” he said:
“The status of the registrants mar-
ried at a time and under conditions
suggesting any such purpose will be
‘iat of unmarried persons eo far as
thelr classification is concerned.”

A, modified express service for the
etty’s surface car lines, the “skip stop”
plan, will become effective next Sunday

stops have been placed on street cor-

THE OIL BUSINESS TODAY
Never in the history of human eventa
has one industry made so many mil-
Honaires and raised such a multitude
of toiling people from squalor poverty
to wealth and luxury ag thet great
commodity, OIL. The richest man In
the world ‘owes his wealth to oll, ag
well as practically every gigantic trust
and corporate power in the United
States, such as the Steel Trust, the
Railroad Trust, the Mining Trust, the
Insurance Trust, the Steamship ‘Trust,
the City National Bank of New York,
the strongest bank in the United
States, ete—all owe thelr great power
to the greatest power of them all——
the Standard OM, But until a few
years ago this mighty stream of wealth
Poured its flood of gold into the treas-
ury vaults of the Standard Oll com-
pany until they had to find other out
Iets for their mighty reservolr of oll
millions. Then they made and. filled
the treasuries of practically all. the
great trusts and corporate powers of
the United States, All of this has been
done under the direction and control,
to a large extent, of one man and his
ailles.
But in the last few years some of
the wiser heads of the common. herd
waked up and began to dip down into
these subterranean pools of wealth and
become rich in unbelievable proportions
and in more recent times more and
more thinking people have waked up
and grasped this unprecedented op-
portunity unth It has made a war on
the wolf that invaded the impover-
ished doors of thousands of homes and
Bankers’ Casualty Company Explains.
The application for insurance pre-
sented by fra. McGhee to the Bankers"
Casualty Company contained false an-
swers to questions propounded there-
in to the assured. ‘The following ques-
flons were asked in the application:
“Are you carrying or have you applied
for any other accident, health or life
Ingurance? Have you recelved medical
attention within the past wo years?”
8Rd the answer to both questions was,
“No.” ‘The appiteation also contained
this statement: “Do you understand
that such Insurance If granted Ig to be
based upon the classification of your
Sccupation; the statements herein,
whether written or printed and that
the falsity of any statement herein
shall bar the right to recovery here-
under if such statement Js material,
elther to the acceptance of the risk oF
the hazard assumed by the company or
fs made with intent to deceive?"
Mrs, Laura McGhee, $411 Dearborn
street, instituted suit in the Municipal
court ‘of Chicago, against tho Bankers’
Casualty company to recover $70 in-
demnity under an accident polley Is-
sued to her by the Bankers’ Casualty
company. She received a judgmont for
$05.66 and costs of court and she did
hot recover a judgment for the full
amount claimed by her,
transformed them into palaces of rich-
es, luxury and ease. And yet thie
mighty stream of liquid gold ts flow-
Ing stronger and more profitable every
uy. “There is a reason for this.”
For not a train can run, not a light
can burn, not a ship can ply the ocean,
and not 2 wheel can turn in the count-
less factories and mills of industry
without off, ‘There ig nothing in. all
the world today that is more certain
of success or with greater possibili-
ties of wealth from @ small investment
than oll, We offer you the opportunity
of your life to get your share of olf
wealth, Remember, we protect you
while we reach production. Can any-
thing beat it?
BACKBONE NOT WISHBONE
‘The spineless man never made any
money out of oli, ‘The wishy-washy
fone, With Jellyfish wishbones where
thelr backbones ought to be, who are
ever hoping and dreaming ‘of riches
but never doing, have no pince In the
oil business. Whether you would be
&n oll operator or an oil investor, it
you-are afrald to take a chance when
the odds are in your favor, stay out.
‘The legitimate off business is better
off without you.
No Ilving man knows for a dead cer-
tainty, when he bores a hole In tho
ground, that there actually is oll. He
must take a chance. If no man had
been willing to take @ chance no well
would ever have been drilled, we never
would have had any ol¥ or gasoline.
‘The progress of commerce and indus-
try for ‘the past ffty years would
have been Impossible without it.
VALUE OF A PRODUGING OIL WELL
A producing oll well of good olf wit
sell for $2,000 a barrel; some claim
$2,600 per barrel.
To iilustrate: ‘If you owned a welt
that produced 1,090 barrels a day you
eould sell It for $2,000,000, ‘The wells
now operating will doubtless produce
ag long a9 your children live. There
are wells in Pennsylvania that have
produced oll steadily for forty years.
‘A 100-barrel well ts a mighty good
well; a 500-barrel well is a monster,
The stupendous cll production coming
from ® 20,000-barrel gusher 1g almost
Beyond comprehension. It ts officially
reported that the Shumway No, 6 In
Butler county produced in six months
prlor to March 10 over $4,000,000 of oil.
‘A 10,000-barrel well means’ gros re-
celpts of $22,500 a day, or over $8,100,-
000 a year.
‘Ench 1,000-barrel well means m daily
income of $2,250 a day, or $787,500 a
year.

THAT the first step taken by the
wise, conservative investor Is to de-
termine the character of the men who
control the business affairs of the
company in which he is considering
an_ Investment,
THAT the men who have proven
their business abuity by having made
a success of their own private ven-
tures are the men who can make your
dollars earn @ profit for you.
‘THAT the men who have proven
thelr honesty, integrity and ‘moral
worth, are the class of men In whose
hands’ your interests are always safe.
‘THAT a combination of brains, hon-
enty and eMciency, intelligently direct-
ed, can accomplish greater and bis-
ger things than can the individual.
‘The men who have charge of the
business affairs. of this company are
of the type and character that guar-
antecs a conservative, honest, intelll-
gent. investment of ‘the corporation
fonds. ‘The officers and directors of
this compnny have the absolute con-
fidence and esteem of the citizens of
Coffeyville. Euch and every bank in
Coffeyville. will Indorse these men, in-
dividually and collectively. No stock-
holder could ask’ more.
Purpose of Organization
‘This company was organized for the
purpose of. drilling for ofl and gas,
purchasing leases of proven worth and
Merit in proven oll fields. We realize,
as do you, that there are more for-
tunes being made, more wealth being
produced, greater and larger dividends
being pald from this great industry
than any other today. Although but
recently organized, this company has
acquired two very valuable assets in
oll. and gas, We feel justly proud of
that which’ wo have already’ accom-
plished.
‘The possibilities for securing large
returns on money invested in conserv-
ative, properly managed companies,
operating on the same basis as. this
company, can hardly be realized -by
the average investor.
‘The opportunities in the oll busi-
ness, and eopectally in the Nowate
field, are so enormous that It is really
dificult for one to grasp th8 possi-
bilities, the great chance that is be-
ing offered dally for the accumula-
tion of large profits, even on small in-

On Eve of Departure Philadelphia, Pa. Aug. 23. —A reception was tendered to 152 boys of the 13th district of the 20th ward by their relatives and friends on last Friday to the street where the demonstration took the form of a bloody purp, in which it was estimated that 2,000 persons were present. Uniformed soldiers and sailors of both races were seated at a table 145 feet long. The total cost of this display was estimated at $475, which was contributed by 147 men. The cost corresponded to the North Philadelphia Pennsylvania station by a parade consisting of four bands, 200 women, 125 girls under 12 years of age, 500 men, one company of cadets, one company of Girl Scouts, and one company of home guard uniforms. The line of march was on Masten street and north on Broad street, in defiance of the orders given by Superintendent of Police Mills. The boys boarded the train amid the cheers of 5,000 persons. This demonstration took the floor and largest of its kind ever held in the city of Philadelphia.
The committee on arrangements were Thomas Walker, president; W. H. White, director; Walter Portlock, treasurer; Russell Palmer, collector, of subscriptions.

'AINT' THIS A SHAME
Parks and playgrounds are provided by the municipal government for the benefit of the citizens of the community. Such places were made possible by the payment of taxes and other assessments by citizens. These recreational centers were provided with certain pieces of equipment to suggest and stimulate certain forms of activity and wholesome amusements.
It is really a disgrace to see how some of the playgrounds and parks are being appreciated in communities that are too much in the way they are Colored. A good example of the flagrant abuse of playgrounds can be found at 33rd and Wentworth avenue every afternoon. It seems that a type of boys and girls who have been denied the rights of seventh grade other parts of the country are failing to take advantage of their opportunity to take wholesome play and clean fun. Instead we have boys and one or two older boys of seventh grade loiter around the playground, infrontoon and shoot dice, swear, tear up property and carry on very dirty, vulgar conversations. Something ought to be done whereby these youngsters would stop disgracing themselves and the older younger boys of ten and twelve years who stand around and watch their ugly pranks. It is necessary for policemen to pass through there constantly to break up erap games. It is necessary for them to fail to understand the nuisance and should not be tolerated.
Here is a record of one boy sixteen years old: His home is in Memphis. He has been in Chicago two years, having been arrested four times, seriously cut three times, usually out of rock. Persons in charge of ground are absolutely helpless and it is up to the better element of citizens to step in and get something done in the very near future in order to save the children who need some good place to play.

It is a long way from the back woods of the South land, where years ago, Race men and women were considered as so much chattel, to the logical as well as geographical center of the oil and gas industry of Greater Kansas City, where ambitious and progressive Race men are daily forming stock companies to develop the hidden resources in the proven oil and gas sections of Kansas and Oklahoma.
The Particular Oil & Gas Company, the most recent entry, capitalized for $32,000, with an official directorate, combining all those qualities essential to success, is incorporated under the Milk and Honey past weekes have opened commercial offices at 1626 E. 18th street (the hub of Negro business), Kansas City, Missouri. This company was organized to "Go After Oil" and to make money from it. No officers receiving a cent of salary: their profits will come just as profits to stockholders from oil profits alone. Every cent from net sale of stock, goes into actual developments of company's intellectual idea of attaining profitable production at the earliest date possible.
In an interview with Mr. J. M. Irvine, the erudite, hustling, wide-awake president of this company, a citizen gleaned the following:
"While I would not make the following recommendation for the masses of my people, I am thoroughly convinced that we should try to make a living by the sweat of our brow while the oil game's golden opportunity is constantly beckoning us. Ever since the Emancipation of our forefathers, we have been following the footsteps of the Caucasian race. In the frozen lands of the Arctic Circle we were there; in the 'No Man's Land' on the field of battle, we are preparing to fight the all mankind that no man leaves peer.
In the land where oil (better known as 'Liquid Gold') is flowing, we are there replenishing our cups of depleted finance. We are not selfish—we extend a hand of welcome to all the sons and daughters of this Race of ours to join us and we will walk together to the land where we found fountain of hidden wealth that lasted for a long time—the surface of the 80-acre lease of the PARTICULAR OIL & GAS COMPANY.

ISSUES ANNUAL CALL
National Equal Rights League Invites Colored Race to Assemble in Chicago, Sept. 17-19 to Get Race Organized to Push Claims for Possession of Full and Equal Democratic Rights—An Unprecedented Opportunity.
To Colored Americans:
The year 1918 is a time unusual and unprecedented in the history of Americans of African descent. Not only are they taking part for their country in an European war for democracy, but within two months two National Colored Editors of entirely different make-up than the government of the United States the institutions of our Race. The Conference of Colored Editors and others was called together by the War Department, to which it made complaint. The Nation-Colored Liberty Congress was called by a national committee to hold a people's convention. From both meetings good is resulting.
Expressed in plain, uncompromising English, our just grievances were borne out by the Congress, the Representatives, and before the American people, by said Library Congress, and were made a prominent and pervasive part of Congressional Records. June 29, 1913.
It seems providentially fortunate, therefore, that this noteworthy achievement on the part of the Library Congress is to be so soon followed by the eleventh annual convention of the National Equal Rights League, to be held in September at Chicago. Last September at the meadow tenth annual convention of our league in New York city, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible champion of equal rights, brought to us a cordial invitation to hold the league's 1918 convention on the city of Chicago, which invitation we unanimously and heartily accepted.
At Chicago, Sept. 17, 19
Therefore, by the authority, vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the eleventh annual convention of said league to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, on Saturdays 17, 18 and 18, in the city of Chicago, Ill.
Follow comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others. I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country should give prompt and earnest heed to this call.
Let every community join this Colored liberty organization drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to world democracy as an issue of this world war.
Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our church, civic education, democracy. Every church, civic education, democracy, political and business organization among our people, without regard to sect, sex, or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention of the organization on the deliberate on the organizing of our Race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues to organize a national convention of sending delegates to this national convention for Race organization for liberty. Yours for equal rights, BYRON GUNNER Pres. Nakl Equal Rights League Addy.
BIG LECTURE
Judge William H. Harrison of Oklahoma, known as the most powerful and forceful speaker of the Race, will be the stirring lecture, "The Oath and the Church on Monday night, Aug. 1." The affair will be held under the auspices of the citizens' committee, and is for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women Christian Association, to raise the $10,000 necessary to raise it will readily be seen that the entertainment should be supported by every person who is for the general uplift, and as there is no more worthy cause one mentioned. Aslde from the lecture should sing by a chorus directed by Prof. Jones and the reading of letters directly from our boys at the front. The price of admission is nominal and the same church should be taxed to capitate a public now to show the spirit that such a worthy cause should inspire.

Voters of All Factions Rally to His Support
It will be pleasing to the supporters of our candidate to know that a recent ward canvass shows that the people of the Third senatorial district have thoroughly made up their minds that they are going to nominate Augustus L. Williams, regular Republican candidate for state senator, at the primary election Sept. 11. Already a two to one favorite, his popularity is growing in leaps and bounces, due largely to the brilliant work of some of the most prominent women of the district of Pennsylvania. Feminine sentiment is kindling a ventible conflagration of enthusiasm for Mr. Williams, which is the best possible guarantee that he is going over the top. No longer will our vision of the future be obscured by the adult audience, our own Race, who would but the way to greater achievements, for the curtain is now thrown full back and rosy realization stands undisguised before
Race Man in Senate
Our determination is to have a man of our own Race in the state senate, and we are going to put him there, or—well, we are just going to put him there; there is all. No need to wait; this man is unanimous in his support of the opportunity now; it may be lost to us in the future. Many times has it been said that the white man does not understand us. About the only thing he does not understand is why we do not stick more closely together at a table than at the table of supreme test is at hand. We need every vote to send Augustus L. Williams to the state senate. We are confident, but also realize that overconfidence has lost many a precious prize. The enemy is in our midst and we are not confident of Germanism is not the only dangerous propaganda that is threatening our unity. Keep a close watch for the danger signal, for "pro-Ettelsonism" is stalking destructively through the highways seeking to retard our program. Ask your neighbor if he is a Race" man, and if so, tell him to jump into the big band wagon and swell the mighty chorus for Augustus L. Williams for state senator, a man of our own trace. We have the opportunity to win. Williams is in every way eminently fitted for the high office in the state's law-making body.
He has been for twenty-five years in the service of his people, clean, conscientious and does not have to apologize for his past. He is a lawyer of high repute, having had close contact with a large number of the most prominent people of Chicago of both races. Rich with experience in studying the people he knows, what to do and how to do it. Mr. Wright, supported men of his Race for office, having taken an active part, many years ago, in the Second word's young fight for alderman, when Edward H. Wright was candidate for the office. Make yourself a. committee of one to secure at least one other vote for Williams and Race advancement and show that we have not been asleep on the job. Watch for more in the next issue.—Adv.
CARD OF THANKS

MAX LOEB AND SEGREGAT’ON ]
SOME FIFTY CIPiZENS of Chicago received from no less a per-
sonage than Max Loeb a questionnaire relative to segregation in the public
schools of Chicago. It came like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky and
struck not where it could do any damage, but where the clay was hard
enough to force a rebound. We quote portion of his letter: "The Cofored pop-
ulation has increased largely since the war intmany northern industrial cities.
Colored attendance in the public schools has grown correspondingly. How
best can the race antagonisms be avoided which so often spring up when the
two races are brought into juxtaposition. especially when white and Colored
children are in attendance under the same teachers and in the same classes?
“Do vou think it wiser, when there is a large Colored population, to
have separate schonls for white and Colored children? if the separation
came at the desire and upon the initiative of the Colored people, would-the
svmpathetic understanding of Colored by whites, and vice versa, he height-
ened, or would such a separation increase prejudice and antugonism? Tt
seems much wiser to have separation (if any at all is necessary) by volun-
tary action rather than through the operation af the law. * * " What meas-
ures, if any. would you supeest to make less difficult the relationship of the
races in the field of public education 2"
‘There are many reasons why Mr, Loeb or any other citizen claiming
to have the best interest of our eounsry at heart, should not attempt to stir
up friction hetween the races. It is surprising that he, especially. would
consider for a moment school policy favoring segregation based upon racial
lines only.” Friction arises heeause children of one race are taught and en-
couraged to look with contempt upan those af another race. Wherever sez
regation has heen established preiudice has inereased rather than decreased
and opened the door for other restrictions, “To know an individual is to,
destroy all chances af unjustified dislike of him. and ta separate school
children racially is to destroy all opportunity for then to know and appre-
ciate the gnod quulities ot cach other. Tt means they will grow into man-
hood and womanhood with thar distinct acquaintanceship of master and
servant which prevails in the South,
It may be argued that equal accommodations will prevail for all, but
ewere this to be carried out, and it never has been, would that justify. any
“people or race in stultifying and sacrificing its self-respect dnd honor for a
mess of pottare? Wanld a proposition of this kind be entertained or con:
sidered for one moment if it had for its abject the segregation af Polish,
Jewish, Ctalian, or even the children of those with whom we are naw at
war? If we are good enough to shoot Germans abroad we certainly should
not be denied the privileges that have nor been denied the enemies of our
cotnmon country,
Why shold it be necessary. in Chicago. in the state of Lincoln and
Grant, to even mention seeregation? Is this Teas or Mississippi? If so
the motive could he understood, It is by no means a constructive measure,
bur rather a destructive one, in that it destroys the individual and racial self.
respect which can only exist with full rights of citizenship, without which no
race can attain its greatest development, but must steadily: deteriorate into
racial decadence that so often is the cancer eating into and destroying. the
heart of the national whole. At this time when we are giving our all ta free
Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and other countries under the voke of oppression ;
at a time when our President has initiated a campaign to lessen racial frie.
tion and to unite all of the various peoples back of the one object, that of
winning the war, whoever originates or suggests a movement, however n=
intentional, subversive of harmony, a movement savaring of class legislation
and prejudices, ane that can only result in dissension and feeling, may be
justly suspected of rendering aid and comfort to the cause af the enemy.
‘As a member of a race that has known so much oppression and injus-
tice, Mr. Loeb shoutd be the last one to advocate and support 2 separation
based upon race. When our boys who are now in France return to find
that in the country for which they have fought and bled, in the city long
Known for its cosmopolitan justice, their children are no longer permitted
to sit in the same room or receive their knowledge from the same fount as
are other children, including those of their recent antagonists, bt are labeled
and set aside because the Chicaga school system meekly bowed its head and
catered to prejudice and petty aversion, they will be amply justified in be-
fieving their saeritiee was all in vain,
