Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, issued the order that no college or university had been given the right or instructed to discriminate against students the students are from matriculate the students are from matriculate In view of the fact that an order was issued reading, "that no color line must be drawn in inducting men into section A," Colored men eligible for induction will be inducted at institutions they attend and will not be required to attend and will not be inducted "tions," the Oberlin College authorities state that they are abiding by the rule established by Francis M. Root (white), who has been placed in charge of the Ohio district of the S. A. T. C. Mr. Root when interviewed was firm to stand to reject all students of color from matriculate sections to the Oberlin College officials must be compiled with to the letter. Ridicule Official Order Following the publication of the telegram sent to the various institutions that were discriminating by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, which read: "The War Department has not issued any instruction from joining student army training corps at Ohio State University or any other institution. Any student, mentally and physically qualified and accepted by the school officials is eligible forance, into any student army of organization at Ohio State University, along with the Oberlin people, ridiculed the telegram and in defense of his stand Capt. Francis Root issued the following explanation: "H. S. A. T. Unit, Oberlin College. The student in charge of investigation on Nonadmittance of Negro Students in Ohio Universities—Dear Sirs: In the absence of definite orders from Washington addressed to myself, I can take no official notice of any communication addressed to any other commanding officer of the SQ. Corps. "My own instructions relative to Negro students so far are as follows: "On the visit to this school by the inspecting officer under orders of the Utica Institute Plant Utica, Miss, Nov. 1—Fire destroyed the power plant of Utica, Normal and Industrial Institute. The amount of the loss was estimated at $12,000. Principal William H.

War Department's Telegram "Later I received a telegram from the committee, which read in part as follows: 'Colored men eligible for induction will be inducted at institutions which they attend and will not be required to transfer to other institutions. Use these in segregation in providing mess and quarters for colored men and arranging such segregation as may be necessary.' 'Neither of these instructions seems to me to warrant my changing my previous status. I have better satisfied themselves and will be enabled to secure more satisfactory accommodations and treatment at schools where there are more than a dozen so Negro students in the institution.' Would Separate Students "In this view no discrimination against.Negro students is intended. It is simply carrying out the general policy of the army, that Negro and white students both better satisfied if they are not made to study at Negro students had applied for admission to this institution I should have certainly advocated the formation of a Negro company, messed and quartered by the head of should be complied with my duty to make sure by inspection that the Negro students were treated in exactly the same manner as the white students in every respect."

The president of Oberlin College has stated that he is willing to accept students of our Race, but has directed that the college of Car Roots' suggestion, thinking the college was obligated to do so. WOMAN UNDERTAKER DEAD Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 1.—Susan E. Foster Sermon, one of the old undertakers of this city, died at her summer hometown on White House Pike, near Davis Rock, Lawrence N.

A, Mrs. Hattie Oldham and Mrs. Lieut. began active service, meeting trains, parade and were in the "Smile Movie" "KNOCKING AT THE CLOSED GATES" (From the Daily Index-Republican, Bellofontaine, Ohio) It was just five minutes of 4 o'clock when Colonel Roscoe Simmons began his silver-tongued address, and he talked until 5:30, holding his audience spell-bound in admiration. He moved to the progressive movement of the war and the openness of the colored people. He emphasized the fact that after the colored people perform their duty to assist the white people to establish democracy in that the colored people should return home and perform the same duty in assisting the white people to establish democracy for the colored people in America. In this connection, the speaker also stated that the white man need not be afraid that the colored man will do his duty, for the colored man was the first to set foot on French soil. It may be said that Colonel Simmons' address was full of jewels of thought and full of patriotism that thrilled. He is an orator in a class by himself. He handed out to his audience what is known as 'good for thought', and it was done up in many packages. His word-pictures are original and bespeak an unusual and wonderful individuality. Colonel Simmons is a nephew of Billy and Winston. Some of the paragraphs from his speech follow: Simmons Paragraphs. "We are living in a great time, the greatest age. Would not live in any other and of course could not. This, the greatest war and God's war, is the coming war. East, west north and south are coming together as one union. We have lost nothing in Africa except memory 300 years ago. We have lost the past and no fears for the future. "Africa will be molded 300 years before we go back. I am satisfied that I am an American." "Proud to belong to a race whose future is before us and not behold us. We have done everything the American white man has told us to do, and NOTICE TO AGENTS Owing to Thanksgiving coming on Thursday the Chicago Defender will go to press on Tuesday and be mailed on Wednesday.

LATEST NEWS EXTRA If You See It in The Defender It's So Temporary Freedom Given Pawnbroker in Judge Mahoney's Court Soldiers Unmercifully Clubbed by Southerners at Hospital SATURDAY O MURDE Temporary Fr Pawnbroke Mahoney The celebrated Eli Nierman case. pawnbroker, 3026 State street, involving the death of Baby Alberta McWilliams, came to an abrupt end in Judge Mahoney's court Tuesday morning. This case attracted considerable attention and was considered by a coroner's jury for nigh on to six weeks, at the conclusion of which they recommended that all evidence, files and papers having to do with the alleged poisoning WE RECOMMEND THESE The Defender feels justified by the previous record and public standing of the men in question to ask its many readers to support the candidacy of the men herein mentioned in the coming election. The Republican ticket: Congressman-elect N. E. Mason, candidate for congressman-at-large, for re-election from the state of Illinois, and Congressman Martin H. Madden, of the First congressional leader, who was career in public life especially as it affects ourople justifies our unstinted support in the coming election. We further request the support of the voters of Cook county in behalf of the Governor, candidate for membership on the board of the Republican Charles Jarrett and W. H. Reed, candidates for members of the board of review. As public officials on the Republican ticket, these men are worthy of our confidence and support. We and by their records that Judge John A. Mahoney, Democratic candidate for re-election, and Judge Barrasa, Republican candidate, are worthy and deserving of our support. We desire the support of our voters for William Karr Steele and J. Graydon, both Republican candidates for municipal court judge, both of whom represent the highest ideals of public efficiency. Charles A. Griffin and Col. James H. Johnson, county commissioners, J. Warren Douglas, Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts and Editor S. B. Turner for members of the lilith legislature. Above all, vote these candidates are true and tried Republican and represent the best for the office they seek. Vote for Emmett Whealam for county commissioner; he is on the democratic ticket, and is a man you can vote for and be proud to know you like. He defends the Constitution. The Defender further desires to ask the support of its many readers for Michael F. Sullivan, candidate for chief justice of the municipal court. He is a man of highest integrity and knows no man by their racial or religious identifications. His attitude on public questions having to do with our group of people shows him to be beyond the suitability of which so often characterize the life of public officials. A vote for him will be a step in the right direction. Needham Roberts of 15th Regt. Back in New York New York, N.Y. — Needham Roberts, then the 15th conqueror of 20 Germans, appeared at the Lafayette theater last Tuesday night during the Elks' celebration at that playhouse. Counselor J. Frank introduced Roberts to the large audience. Roberts was in perfect health. Andrew Bishop of the Chicago Lafayette Stock Players appeared to pay a visit to the show. Roberts was in the show. Pully 3,000 people from Trenton, N. J. were present. Roberts said in his speech that Johnson, his partner, who aided him in bagging 20 Geraniums went back to the trenches a month back and is still on the firing line in France. SALOON FIGHT ENDS WHEN MAN IS KILLED Mound City, ill., Nov. 1. A quarrel that resulted in the death of John Simpson (white) of Metropolis and the severe wounding of Harshel Henderson occurred in the saloon of Harry Handley. Simpson began using his knife freely on Henderson's abdomen, and when in close quarters Henderson fired three shots in rapid succession. Simpson fell to the floor dead. It is doubtful as to whether Henderson will recover. Soldiers Unmercied by Southern New York, Nov. 1- Privates Ormond Jackson and Robert A. Johns, both members of the sanitary detachment, Minneola base hospital, went to Urban League offices, 2303 Seventh avenue, on Oct. 19, in an endeavor to have some one look into the mistreatment of our soldiers at the hospital. They stated that shortly before their coming to report the matter Private Charles Parker, who was recently transferred from the 65th Depot, beaten up from unmercifully beaten up by white privates from the South because he would not give his place during mess time to some white soldiers who came after him and would not get in at the end of the line for mess. He was allowed that for the 65th Depot, beaten up that an immediate operation was necessary, and that he will lose the sight of one eye, since he was attacked with the white soldiers' knives WOUNDED SOLDIERS BACK A LARGE NEW YORK FIRM DOING TIONS OPEN FOR 100 WOUNDED OF THE MATRICE OF THEIR WOUNDED FOR FULL PARTICULARS CA J. L. VINCENT 1051 LEA PRICE FIVE CENTS ER CASE freedom Given er in Judge y's Court of the child be transferred to the office of States Attorney Hoyne for a more thorough and complete examination. As to what disposition was made of the recommendation of the coroner's jury available information cannot be obtained. Mysterious influences controlled by hidden hands seem to have worked with force and effect upon the proceedings. Attorney D. L. Barnard, the former head of the deceased before Judge Mahoney, sitting in the Municipal court, moved the court that the proceedings against Eli Nierman be dismissed and gave as his reason that his witness was of unsound mind, thus rendering any testimony upon her part invalid. Girl's Mind Wanders Thus the curtain is rung down on a case in which the reputation of a reputable citizen has been attacked and the death of a child still unexplained. The officers who were assigned to the case failed lamentably in their efforts to secure such evidence as would stand to test in court. The attitude of the girl is not clear. The state that Nierman was the father of the child and on another would say that he was not, made her value as a competent witness useless. Attorney Burnett found himself in a very awkward predicament and was no doubt justified in moving the court to quiet the girl. Should the girl's mind return in its natural state, the proceedings will be re-opened. C. M. E. Church Buys $100,000 Building Chicago is truly a city of churches, and magnificent churches at that. The latest congregation to move into larger and more palatial quarters is the Colored Methodist Episcopal, who purported to be Bishop A. M. Larter, A. M. D. D. of Althouse, A. M. D. Park Avenue Methodist Episcopal church located at Robey street and Park avenue. On Sunday, Nov. 3, the formal opening will be held. Bishop Carter continues morning services at 11, Rev James A. C.

The $10,000 pipe organ will be used at every meeting. It is needless to say the congregation will be in our houses of worship, will have a membership and be of inestimable benefit to the community. Falsifying Questionnaire Reveals Man as Deserter Knoxville, Tex. Nov. 1—A well-planned attempt to escape army service was brought to light when Detective Singleton arrested James Young of the 304th Stewarded Regiment, Company M, who deserted his wife and children.

To Colored Men of Tennessee On Tuesday, Nov. 5, there will be an election in this state. The Republican candidates to be voted for on that day are: For Governor—H. B. Lindsay.

All of the above candidates believe in a Republican Party built on character and loyalty, not on color and caste. To vote for them is to vote for both friends and Republicans. To refuse them support is to stand in the light, and make men wonder if we would be free. Particularly am I interested in the candidacy of J. Will Taylor for Congress from the Second District. In this connection I want to say that I know something of political leaders in Tennessee, their habits of thought and their activities. Closely have I examined them, especially as they speak or act when the legal or political rights of our people come before them. There is a place to test them. As a man and as a Republican, in private speech or public action, as a leader of the Republican party in the state or as a private citizen, Mr. J. Will Taylor has demonstrated that the qualities of manhood in him are essential to his virtues. His foes be silenced by his character. He is no hypocrite, but judge him upon the evidence, and mine is no quick judgment. Colored Republicans have no stancher friend in party councils. I offer no apology for wishing that every Colored man in the state will vote for the above named candidates on Nov. 5th next. Nothing do I seek in the circumstances, other that my men will "Win the War Quick" to an "Unconditional Surrender" and fly the colors of the Republican party! Respectfully. Lansing, Mich.

Old Monster Rheumatism, with your aches, pains, shooting pains, back aches, impure blood, you have been conquered by the famous Prescription C-2223 This prescription has brought joy and happiness to thousands of sufferers who had almost given up in despair after doctors and patent medicines had failed to give relief. We urge all readers to give Prescription C-2223 a trial by sending 75c to C-2223 Laboratories, Dept. A, Memphis, Tenn., for a physician's large bottle. Take as directed on the label. It would cost you a large sum to consult a specialist on Rheumatism or Blood Poison, but you can get his prescription at little cost, so why not try it? C-2223 is different from anything else. So great has been the demand that many prescription druggists have C-2223 in stock. If you have Rheumatism in any form, with those terrible, agonizing, shooting pains, aching bones or joints, Pains in the Head, Swollen Joints or Risings, Blood Poison with Itching Skin, Eczema, Old Sores, Pimples, Sore Patches in Your Mouth, Hair Falling Out in Patches, then take Prescription C-2223. It is the very medicine your system needs. C-2223 is a godsend, especially if other remedies or doctors have failed you. C-2223 has cured hundreds of cases, especially the old, stubborn kind. It sends a flood of pure, rich blood to the skin surface, healing all sores and stopping all pains and aches. Try it yourself. C-2223 not only purifies the blood, but drains out of your system all the poisons, humors and uric acids that cause the awful pains and sores, also stops that burning aching of the skin, giving anyone a smooth, healthy skin as well as pure, rich blood, stopping all the aches and pains.

I was born on the great West Side of this world's wonder city of ours, of whose parents I am the parents of the vast majority of the Colored people, were forced to struggle through privation, and therefore, were compelled to labor during tender years that were directing safeguards which I feel are now provided for the rising generation. For these reasons I can earnestly sympathize with every effort put forth by the clerics, without regard to creed or previous condition, to improve and better their situation in life, socially, morally, politically, and economically, thereby demonstrating that is needed is the open road of Opportunity to show that they are worthy of the respect and confidence of those whom they live and work. In Johnson's recognition which I have given our group in my administration of the election office, I have this to say: When I assumed control of this office there was a regular clerk in a strictly confidential capacity. He had been so employed for twenty years, soon recognized by both myself and Dennis J.

Quinasoap is made from coconut oil, an oil principally coconut oil, and is a rough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinassoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 22 cents each.

This is what she got rid of during the course of a little conversation with one of the performers with whom she was doing business a short time ago, and who is at present in Chicago. "The colored people of Harlem should be proud of the fact that I have given them a first-class theater in which to show what they are capable of. The person should be found catering to me instead of thinking that I should be catering to them. Here I have given up all my friends and former assists on account of his theater proposition, because I have gone into business in a section where the patrons are mostly "biggers," and as a consequence, I am slighted and looked down upon by all people. I am not a bigger, and just because I felt sorry for your people out here and opened this theater for them. They certainly had ought to appreciate it. Some ladies would long as they pose, but I don't care, long as they folks out here patronize me as they should." This is about as rotten a piece of gulf as ever came under the notice of the O. R. T. D. Man, and if ever there needed a fine lecturing, it is this Gothic town of coin. Can you imagine this sort of noise emanating from this sure-shot, nickle-grabber at a time like this? How long do you think this lady would last in business on the Stroll of Chinatown? How much of which she has adopted and has apparently been thriving upon in the big eastern town? Can you wonder at the fact that the people of Harlem were all primed to rock her business to sleep in recent rough house described in the columns of this paper a short time ago? Why don't Mrs. Downs shut up shop and beat it back to her "nigger" hating friends? 'our people would be better when she, without doubt; we can not say that she is not a lightened lady, be the Harlemites' loss, looking the matter up one side and down the other. While there may be many theater managers who harbor the same softness, we have never heard them expressing it to a member of the Race. While Mrs. Downs is qualified to enjoy all the protection that her husband has for her, we find it hard to understand how she has been her belch without at least having been told the difference between a package of cigarettes and a pair of overalls. It is a pity that Mrs. Downs hasn't applied to her husband, whose husband her mouthpiece; this would have jim-pants-kicking when circumstances tipped, as witness what happened when he cursed and called "nigger" at a perfectly respectable lady for the heinous defense of trying to sell fourth Liberty to the enemy of the frater. They ran him out of such they say that he has been conspicuously small around the joint ever since. This sure is a great world—full of fall guys—and some of them thrive on mistreatment. And come back for more mistreatment. And our folks are of the type whichever if the man in their eye, would take their coat sleek, wipe it out, while apologizing for not being twins, so they could buy two tickets instead of one, just to help them sing in their hours of sacrifice and disgrace. Mr. Downs also claims that Snyder, her master, will be a hobbit. We believe that—just like we believe that Kaiser Wilhelm is a Hottentot. ARKANSAS Helena. Ark.

When the long arm of the United States Department of Justice recently reached across the Atlantic and handed to the French government documents involving Joseph Caillaux and Bolo Pasha in a treasonable conspiracy to betray the French republic to the Kaiser, it brought to an end one of most sinister careers in modern history. Ex-Premier Joseph Caillaux, the "evil genius of France," and his beautiful, ambitious wife have been the center of more sensational stories in the public press than any other pair in history. Now the dramatic events of his life have been recorded on the screen by William Joy, who will be shown at the States Theater on Saturday and Sunday, of this week. The action goes back to the very time when Henriette Renouard, an ambitious middle class French girl, determines to marry a man who will be a great friend. Leo Claretie, a visionary and a dreamer, only to find, years later, that he is a failure. Then comes her intrigue with Joseph Caillaux, followed by a double divorce, which results in their marriage. He hastens Jason Calmette, editor of the Paris magazine, to shatter her dreams by exposing dishonorable acts of her husband, she adds murder to her infamies by entering his office and shooting him down and killing blood. Then follow her trial and acquittal. But it is only when the United States Government involves Caillaux and Holo Pasha in pro-German Propaganda that retribution comes. Holo is shot by a firing squad. Caillaux is imprisoned on charge of reason, and the Paris mob long escaped them, a adventurer, who long escaped them. "The Calllaux Case" has been staged by Richard Stanton with an all-star cast. Its sets are exact replicas of the original scenes in Paris. Its fascinating record of love, hate, jealousy, ambition and triloratus machinations comprises the most sensational drama of real people ever shown on the film.

LETTERS FROM LEON Leon, the magician, who is fattening up during the flu in the classic city of St. Louis, the home of Chittling and Doerrs, writes the following enlightening: "Dear Friend Tony: Just a few lines to let you know that I am still here, and have made the second pay in my new line of business. St. Louis is liable to open up at any time. Boutte and "artre" are still here, and expect to see some of the artists George Cooper are still here, having come all the way from Iowa.

Uncle Joe Goplin, the old-timer, is around getting ready to produce Tom Turpillin's show, which will take the road in the near future. Well, regards to all. Your friend.

AH, HA! PETER HARRIS "You Thought I Was Flued!" FIGHTIN' GRANDAD My granddad sat on a bench one day With his pipe stuck in his head; Sex her: "My boy, my regiment To a man is well-nigh dead. From sixty-two to sixty-five I fit with General Grant. This medal I would show to you— Come close and take a slant. "At Gettysburg I won this here Great big one—made of brass— I seized a rebel's musket and I run him out of gas. It was an awful battle, that, And an awful sight to see. The Union side would sure get cleaned If it hadn't been for me. "I fit at Snottsylvania I lit them tooth and toenail till Their General hollered "WHOA!" "At Petersburg I stacked 'em up In a way to make you shiver: I run them till their heels got hot At Stone River. At old Bull Run I took a gun And slew so many more. Old General Lee just sent for Grant And closel the dog-gone war." "THE INNER MAN" The Chicago Tribune had this to say of the play which will be presented by the Lafayette Players here next week. It is here published just to the patrons of the Avenue an insight has to be great play "The Inner Man really is" "The Inner Man" at Garrick's a real Novelity-The well-known jaded theater-goer was treated to a real novelty last night, when Wilton Lackaye opened his sensor at the Garrick Theater in what the program called a "society play." The novelty was twofold. In the first place there was a cleverly conceived prologue which took the form of a meeting of the Society for the Reformation of "criminals" actually supposed to be held in the theater. Secondly, the play had a moral. In the neat little speech at the end of the second act Mr. Lackaye said that the actor could do well if he had a good play, but the moral that the author intended was even plainer than that. Mr. Lackaye was cast as a brutal criminal who, in addition to having committed nearly every crime in the decadogue, had deserted his wife and his son, Werrington, a wealthy philanthropist, waged ten thousand dollars that he can reform this shocking person within a year. The wager is undertaken as the result of a theory that confirmed criminals are beyond redemption, which is supported by the SPLENDID ILLUSION- The meeting, by the way, was admirably done and was punctuated by frequent applause. The speakers arose from various parts of the theater, including one of the boxes, and succeeded in curing the illusion that a gathering of the scion in question was actually in progress. Mr. Werrington and his wife appear at Dick Bolger's home (that is the criminal's name) and induce him to act as their agent in distributing $200- purposes, for reformation purposes. They annually pay a weekly salary of $50, and, to bind the bargain, hand him $500 on account. Gradually the environment in which he finds himself produces the inevitable result, but what that is had best be left for the audience to figure out, for here is a play that should not be missed. MRS. I. P. BLACKBURN DIES Mrs. Ida Phillips Blackburn, wife of Harrison Blackburn, formerly of the team of Walker & Blackburn, but now a soldier in France, died on Monday.

Brown, better known as "Kid" Brown to members of the profession, will no doubt be shocked at the announcement of his death, which occurred early Wednesday morning, the direct cause being a massive attack of indigestion. Kid Brown had a long time, and a short time ago had to pass up a lot of booking for his act, which was known as Brown & Brown, and which was one of the few musical novelties working the smaller vaudeville left as advance manager for the Invinicible Concert Co. which is at present laying off at their headquarters at Kansas City Mo.

During the action of the story there is a battle with a gang of cattle thieves, several horseback chases, four or five hand encounters of the most desperate, a world of real gun-play, and finally a startling climax which not only places the daughter of his master in danger, but Lassiter a beautiful wife, and revenge upon the entire sect that was the cause of all his adventures. Don't fail to see this one. MAKES A HIT A letter arrived at the Old Roll-T-2, Desk on Tuesday night, via special delivery; it came all the way from the classic city of Harrisburg, Pa., and brought prominent citizens and business men, Wm. Dockens, known as Bill-Dock to the initiated. Now Bill, in his letter, says that he was tickled almost to death to see that we had had another letter from Windshell Jackson and Tom and Tomto, and I should go over there and help those fellows surround the kaiser, as he thinks that between the three of us, Windshell, the Jap and myself, it would be like getting money from home in a letter. I agree with first part of the bills. I should part made me do a lot of thinking. The main one of these thoughts was: Who would be here to keep the home fires burning if I should leave? Deep thought, which is not to be denied. I had almost made up my mind to templet part made me this suggestion himself, but at the bottom part of the letter he draws attention to the fact that he has, besides a fine appetite, a wife and five little Bill-Docks, which of course lets him out.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Se ah le tans aaa iam aio Brooklyn, N, ¥., Nov. 1—In our is- sue of Oct. 13 we published a state- ment that’ a rumor had gone the rounds that ‘Mrs. WW.

Toa Defender reporter Waring, in speaking of his Fecent legal tlt with Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen in the General | Sessions Court, sald it was absurd to think that the judge had elted him for con= tempt in relations to words he had used in connection with a case the counselor was pleading, because of his color. Waring informed the Judze that he meant no offense, and it Is likely the case will end there. Lieutenant Johnson Heads Canteen, Lieutenant Rosatnond Johnson, ai rector of the Music Settlement, has taken over the direction of the canteen for soldiers and sailors at 4 and 6 West 11st street, ‘The canteen. is locitted in the same bullding with the Music Settlement and recreation cen- ter cinb rooms, which makes an ident place for the ten in service who are on a furlough to the city, The canteen is known officially as No. 5 of the Mayor's Committee of Women on Na- tional Defense, and has been in oper- ation for the past month. Already hundreds of ‘our soldiers trom the nearby. eamps. have visited the can teen, where they have been able to se- cure’ food ut cost. Lieutenant Johnson has made a valuable addition to the canteen by arranging uecommodation for one hundred men, who may remit at the receration over night for the nominal fee of ton cents. ‘To give the men the hest possible food and proper aecommodation to make thelr stay comfortable and enjoyable, contribu: long’ are sought te eonginte tho 500d work, And now comes the tele} 1one com- pany, foining with the Interborough in their faise assertion that thelr service is crippled through lack of he'p.

DON'T BE FOOLED Chicago Association of Commerce Chicago Real Estate Board Chicago Civic Federation PAGE EIGHT Honorable Medill McCormick, republican aspirant for senatorial honors in the coming election, was the guest of honor at the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Holt, 405 Prairie avenue, Tuesday evening. The occasion is it possible for Mr. Cormick a man of choice to be Colored couple of the city who are active in civic and political life. Brief addresses were made by Honorable Charles Griffin, Col. James H. Johnson and Honorable Adelbert H. Roberts. At the request of the hostess Col. Wm. Randolph Cowan accepted the honor of presiding over the occasion, which was executed with befitting dignity. Mr. McCormick delivered a short and interesting discourse touching briefly upon the part played by his grandfather during the civil war, who he claims occupied a conspicuous place in the confidence of Lincoln. He reviewed his hopes and ambitions as a public servant and said that a larger and greater democracy would come to all the people as a result of the present world's struggle. He paid a high tribute to the French and English governments and said that during his visit in France the horrors committed by the people of his own country upon the southern Colored man made him on many occasions blush for shame. A number of people present expressed their reasons as to why they favored the nomination of Medill McCormick. Ex-Alderman DePriest probably politically in favor of the individual saying: "I shall exert every possible effort compatible with decency and respectability to enhance the candidacy of Mr. McCormick. I am not, however, going to support the entire ticket. Opinions Favor McCormick Dr. LeRoy Bundy: "Because Medill McCormick's record has proven him a strenuous advocate of Republican principle embodied in its platform real democracy." Dr. W. D. Cook, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church said: "I am for Medill McCormick because I believe him to be the man of the hour who can be safely trusted with the great duties of the office to which he aspires, and I believe he represents the ideals of true Americanism." James G. Cotter, assistant attorney general, said: "I favor the election of Medill McCormick to the office of U. S. senator for many reasons, chief among which are that his selection in the primaries represents the best judgment of the great Republican party of the State of Illinois." Bcauregard S. Mosely, lawyer, said: "Medill McCormick represents the best there is an national politics today and I am for the best." Major R. R. Jackson said: "I am a Republican and in favor of the entire Republican ticket. Mr. McCormick was not my choice in the primary but he is the Republican candidate now and I shall support the candidate and the ticket." Jamas A. Scott said: "Immediately after the primary election the People's Movement adopted a resolution upon my motion ratifying the Republican ticket as nominated. The fact that Medill McCormick was the nominee of my pick for L. S. senator, is my greatest reason for supporting him." Dr. George C. Hal said: "I am for Medill McCormick. First, because he represents the highest type of true Americanism; second, he is constructive, progressive, honest, fair-minded and willing to stand up for manhood rights for all the people of this country." FINE DOCTOR FOR SELLING DOPE Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1.—It cost Dr. B. B. Jackson $1,000 for writing prescriptions for drug addicts in order to enable them to obtain nerve soothers. Dr. Jackson was on parole, and upon the promise that he would discontinue the sale of drugs, Judge Fleming assessed an additional fine of $500 for vagrancy. B. E. "Knapp Agricultural Truck" to Visit Rural Districts Washington, Nov. 1.—The "Knapp agricultural truck," named in honor of the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C., is destined to visit many thickly settled communities inaccessible by railroads for the purpose of teaching our farmers agriculture and home economics by the actual demonstrations on their farms and in their business, also to prove to them that they can do better work, make more produce on smaller acreage and at less expense. Was Dr. Washington's idea Fourteen years ago Dr. B. T. Washington conceived the idea of fitting up a wagon known as "The Jessup agricultural wagon, or "The School on Wheels." This outfit operated exclusively in Macon, known by mules, and was very successful the Knapp truck," an extension of the Booker Washington idea, has been motorized and will be fully equipped with the necessary implements for conducting "movable schools" and many other forms of agricultural extension work now being carried on under auspices of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is believed that nothing can go quite so far, all things being equal, toward vitalizing agricultural extension work in the rural districts as is true of these motor vehicles, and it is government extension agents throughout the south will be using this mode of travel as a means of securing more concrete results and getting closer to the problem of country life. BANK CASHIER DEAD Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 1.—Horatio B. James, assistant cashier of the Anderson & Co. bankers, died last Tuesday of Spanish influenza. Mr. James was ill a very short time. The highest medical authorities obtainable under the direction of Dr. Cassius A. Ward, was placed at his disposal. The limitations of medical science was exhausted, but of no avail. The deceased was twenty-six years of age and was held in the highest esteem by members of both races. His tuneral was attended by a number of prominent and professional people of the city.

He moved to Cleveland and moved again to Chicago to find a wider field in which to preach the gospel. The town of Coshooton. In that doctrine he was brought up as a boy. I hold it to you, as any of my friends and acquaintances, colored or white, can bear witness. "Sir, as I have said to you, I have never been the posing and professional friend of any element in our American society, whether foreign or native-born, Protestant, Catholic or Jew, colored or white; I have believed as I preach, that plain, simple justice must be applied to all injustice sake, but because we Americans, as a people, cannot advance if injustice be done any element among us. Helped Continental Bill "It would not become me to speak in praise of my own activities, but at least I may recall that in the support of Major Jackson's bills, that in supporting the appropriation for the Centenary of Freedom, that in discovering the joker in the original conscription bill, I had a part, and not an insconsiderable part, in seeing that right was done and in serving my fellow citizens of your color. "My dear sir, I have the honor to be, with great consideration, respectfully yours. MEDILL McCORMICK." This letter will not only set Mr. McCormick right as to both his own attitude and the attitude of his ancestors toward the Race, but will win for him many and many a vote next Tuesday. A change of heart on the part of the Race will follow his bold declaration of respect for them, and of his unalterable belief in the equality of men under the law. In the formation of the draft law the Democratic members of the House and Senate introduced amendment after amendment authorizing the President to make exemptions until the amendment had substantially exempted all the colored people of the south from participating in the war. Work or Draft Law After these amendments were adopted Congressman Millic M cornick proposed an amendment which reads that "notwithstanding the exemptions contained herein, each state shall be required to supply its quota in the proportion that its population bears to the total population of the United States." This amendment was supported by the entire Republican mem- bers in both Houses and reluctantly accepted the Democratic because of their fear to raise the issue of patriotism, and it is only because of insertion of this provision within the law that the Negroes of the nation have been given full participation in the war activities with the people of other races.

Smith had visited personally each county of the state, and was enabled thereby to enter upon this extraordinarily short and remarkable campaign fully equipped to put the party machinery at high gear the day following his election as state chairman. The sudden death of the late Congressman John A. Sterling of Bloomington required the Republicans of the Seventeenth Congress to trict nominate a candidate without delay. Col. Smith was the unanimous choice of the party organization of his congressional district. Col. Smith has handled the campaign that is now ending with a determination to keep it at the highest level, and he has succeeded, probably as no other man in Illinois could have succeeded, in harmonizing the different factions and in putting together a campaign organization that is certain to win Tuesday for the entire Republican ticket.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918 INFLUENZA Rube Foster's Managers and C The closing order from the health director in not allowing people to congregate in numbers at any place prevented the followers of the American Baptist Church against Vaughn, the leading pitcher of the Chicago National League. The day was ideal and a record attendance was assured. As the lid has not been closed, the team informed us that the Giants had played the last game for this season. Work of American Giants Wonderful The Giants, after winning the championship at Palm Beach, against the best players in the country, begin the 1518 season on their nerve, as the club was shot to pieces with uncertainty. At all attention of the players were of the selective draft of the army, as ter f the players were subject to the drs. With this in mind, their playing skills were improved, and are maintained with the system used by the Giants often seen the great play of the Giants forget the signals, and made them look foolish at times, when their reputation was danger when always rallied enough to beat their opponents. Giants Game Ball Club never criticizes a player for a mistake that he has no skill, because the player is made it is because the player is late in starting or forgets the way that it should be made. When these things happen with clubs that play with a system, if it does not go through it looks foolish, it looks foolish, and the player that cannot fit into the top of play of the Glants, regard- Food for the Stove "THE GREATEST PLACE GREAT SERIES OF A contributed weekly by Schalk, Joo Benz and "Rube" Foster, Amew Tribune; William.

Nothing like it has less as to how good he is, has only a short time to stay. Once she takes care, he made his men but she so much; was it not better to let them hit the ball; why he made them take so many strikes. He only saw the Giants when they are in action. I have them every day in practice, and in games you know what they know, because you have not seen them all week, what has transpired in their acquainted with their shortcomings, always send them to do what they are best fitted to do and not what ought to be. You have won more games than the Giants than anything else. If you let a player make the pitcher pitch four or five innings, and if you can hit at the beginning you can hit him when he is weaker and less effective. It is at attack. In most cases it is successful. Foster Plays the Men On the other hand, if you allow your players to make a few runs at the ball, they are careless. Should these few runs be overtaken they are in most cases in play, and they are in my attack on the field, liable my play at any time, as I play the men I am playing and arrange my attack on the position they are placed on the field. I told Mr. Foster I was blind, as many more are; his system was just the thing; he never does anything that knows the opposition better than the fans. Closing, he said: "Wby, I lost Williams and S. S. Gans, outfielder and Tom Johnson, and Williams, Bedding, Tom Johnson and Williams, and released Lloyd, a combination of the best players in the world. Even with this handicap we would have been better. C's and Hilladales—if we had not perfected this system. In so doing we again won the championship, defeated all opponents and played better ball this season, before you may be right, but I cannot get away from system." LOOMS UP AGAIN AS HERO New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 1,—Robeson, the big Rutgers College boy well known in New York City, was known under Lehring College, 39 last Saturday. Robeson accounted for two tallies. In the third quarter Robeson made a long run on a perfect 10-0 run. In the next period he intercepted a pass and plowed twenty yards for a touchdown. Lehring had only one touchdown from field, which missed. The passing, mostly from Kelly to Robeson or Baker (white), gained much ground. Rutgers lost much on penalties for the loss. PHILADELPHIA GiANTS DEFEAT ED BY BIG LEAGUERS Dykman Oval, Nov. 1.—The famous Philadelphia Giants, with Bradford on defense, beat the New York Giants at Dykman Oval last Sunday, the pitching of Demaree and Causey being more than they could handle, and the New York attack was a bit factor in the New York attack.

Foster is a genius. PITCHERS LEA 1 The closing of the 1918 season has developed the fact that "Rube" Foster besides being a brainy leader, is a genius in the baseball game. He lost Wick-ware, Williams, Redding and Tom Johnson the four best pitchers in the world; Grant, star first baseman; Gans, wonderful outfielder; Williams, the crack shortstop; Lloyd, the peer of shortstops, yet in the face of this he again brought fame to Chicago in winning the championship. Mr. Foster enjoyed the 'best season of his career and played to the largest attendance in the history of the park. Foster is a genius. PITCHERS LEAD IN CHICAGO Pitchers are in the majority among baseball players who have enlisted for the army during the war or have been called into service through selection. Practically all the big clubs have given up at least one boxman and three catchers have given up two or three. Catchers now have moundmen now in service are Tom Johnson, Wickware and Gans.

Manager Butler Visits Defender Benjamin Butler, Dubuque, fa. manager of Sol Butler, the great runner and football athlete, paid the Defender $10,000 and his brother expect to open business next year. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER developed the fact that "Rube" Foster is in the baseball game. He lost Wickerson the four best pitchers in the world; derful outfielder; Williams, the crack yat in the face of this he again brought responsibility. Mr. Foster enjoyed the best largest attendance in the history of the AD IN CHICAGO cording to Joe. would mean much to the United War Work Council. Joe has hooked a birth with the Commission on Training Camp Activities and just to show 'em how good he really is. He has two or twenty to a finish and has selected Jack Dempsey or Willard as his opponent. Joe has he no desire to win the game, but the rules of patrolism, but nevertheless is supremely confident of beating either or both of the aforesaid warriors. Joe has scruppery averter that the title means that he is an Army or Navy and let the boys fight for it. Jeannette states that Willard won his title from a Colored man—one who is a personal or physical regard for him. He wished dippy over Willard's ability because he did not beat Frank Moran decisively; neither did Johnson turn away. He was more than more on account of the present hold—and who won it from a Colored man, as worthless. It means nothing to him; it means his power he would turn the whole world over to the thousands of heroic lads who are now facing the greatest sacrifice that we now acquire the greatest whole world—Champions of Democracy. Joe's last minute wall and late 'hour slap at the unfortunate former champion Johnson, does not for a minute impress Johnson, but for several goes with Johnson, mostly of the meal-ticket variety. After the latter had acquired the championship in clerk or out of the country that would allow the sense necessary to clinch a championship go. and fight devotees had no faith in matches between Colored players withstanding there has been a surfeit of each matches in recent years. The news spread like wild fire around 35th and State streets Wednesday when it was learned that William Buckner, 3447 S. State street, formerly trainer for the White Sox champions, the team next year who was the idol of the Chicago. This strengthens the statement made by the Defender that he is the making of a team for Chicago in 1911, a strange that Dr. Buckner was at the American Glants park last summer watching teams. He is "mum" on his friends that some friends at 35th and Shields avenue think kindly of the project. YALE PITCHERS BOWS TO LINCOLNS R. H. E.

In the day of the boxer over? Harry Winston, a modern human fighting machines ever put together. But it is his misfortune to be handcapped by lack of worthy opponents, leading fighters of the white race. Sam McVey is another good one of the late crop of fighters, but he could not be called a leading fighters of the same can be said of Battling Jim Johnson, Bill Tate, George Christian, Jeff Clark and Kid Norfolk, although he was a great greatness.

Sam Langford was particularly unfortunate, though the fact that he practically speaking, could not be as a heavy fighter, was too heavy for the middleweights and, according to the standards of weight in the ring was handicapped by his weight. He was a six-footer and with strength, with the length of arms and with flesh all to correspond, his name persevered. He was the annuals of ring history. In his prime Langford was without a peer as a fighter. Joe Jasenettte, was also a grand fighter; he were surrounded with much mystery; thereby Joe's real ability to shake was heavily shaded.

In other words, to take care of our soldiers. He exceedingly important to see that the color man who has done his duty shall have "fair play." The great question is to know whether there shall be a new apportionment—like the one we have which does not represent the population, but is tanding toward the German population apportioned made by Bismark in 1870.

BUNDY HELPS YOURSELF This paper, together with thousands of people, together with the country who believe in justice for the failing giving Dr. Bundy the finest kind of support in his effort to free himself from the charges hunging over him in connection with the East St. Louis case, the Illinois case, and the Nov. 18 at Waterloo, Ill., and in order that there may be no hitch in the proceedings for lack of funds, it is imperative that about $6,000 be raised in order to light the case to a successful male. While Dr. Bundy is the central figure, it must be understood that it is a matter that vitally concerns every one. His conviction means the wiping out to us of the rights of speech and self-expression in political status; it means that we must accept without protest the barbaric treatment oftimes accorded us. If Dr. Bundy was guilty of breaking the law without provocation, no sympathy would be wasted upon him. If he broke the law in self-defense or in presence of those courant or threat to him he is entitled to consideration and support. Believing him innocent, the strongest organizations and the most prominent men and women in the country have come to his rescue.

Egan is the chief clerk in the election office, and is the Democratic candidate for bailiff of the Municipal court of Chicago. Among his various duties as administrative head of the election office, is the employment of clerks in the office of the election commissioners, the selection of judges and clerks of election, in the two thousand or more election precincts of Chicago, and the location of meeting places in which the voters are required to go for the purpose of casting their ballots. . In every phase of this work, the conduct of Mr. Egan, particularly as it comes under the somewhat skillful observation. I is somewhat skillful observation because for almost twenty-four years I have been a clerk in the office up to his reputation of being a square-dal "public official in his relations with all citizens, and our statement is but the simple statement of a connection held by every man and woman to visit the election office during the last four years. The evidence of his favorable treatment and consideration of the political claims of the Colored men and one woman, every one of whom are members of the Ketcher family, while Mr. Egan is himself a Democrat. Our People Serving Not only this, but there are far more of our men and women serving as judges and clerks of election than ever served heretofore under former administration. With respect to the location of polling places, his policy has always been to give the polling place to some Colored person in precincts where they are in the majority. In Mr. Egan's office, and incidentally I might say I have been present at all of them, he has always emphasized the rule of the office that everyone who visits it shall be treated courteously, without regard So deep into the consciousness of his under-clerks has this rule been planted, that the window, information and other clerks, might with profit, be as models by other offices having direct access to the public and especially with our people. Appoints Mrs. Sims Mr. Egan recently appointed Mrs. Lulu Sims, 155 Walnut street (corresponding secretary to the Equal Opportunity League) to a clerkship in the election office upon the recommendation of Judge Thomas F. Scully and prominent citizens of the south and west sides. This is an evidence of his disposition to give the Colored women recognition in keeping with their enlarged political rights and obligations. For all the rules of reason it is only fair to assume that will incl his fair treatment of the Colored citizens upon his election to the office of bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago. I before feel justified in appealing to a cry Colored man and woman of the Chicago League to direct votes, and the women by their great influence, to aid in the election of Mr. Egan to the office of bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago.

If Dreams Came True If all of the weird, fantastical things we find in our dreams came true, A funny old world this surely would be we mortals are passing through. It wouldn't seem strange to see a pink goat with a flock of flying deer, All making a break for a wobbly lake, where some grunning snake sold beer. Real fairies in crowds we'd see pushing clouds with brooms that were ten miles long. HELP WANTED—WHITE IN A RECENT ISSUE of the daily papers we are informed that more than 300 telephone girls have been stricken with influenza and the Chicago Telephone company is advertising for young women to take their places. What we would like to know is whether or not this company is willing to accept applications from our girls, and if not why not? We have hundreds of competent, honest young women of prepossessing appearance, many of them graduates of the public schools of this city. The company is employing the young women of every nationality on earth, French, German, Polish, Lithuanian, Irish and Swedish, the only test being that they must be white, apparently. The telephone company draws no color line among its subscribers. Thousands of our people are telephone users, and it strikes us as strange indeed that this company will accept us as telephone subscribers to the extent of thousands of dollars yearly while 'denying to our children the right of employment. It is the old question of taxation without representation. If the fathers and brothers of our young women are good enough to fight and die for the country surely their children are good enough to be employed. The heads of public service corporations, and many private concerns, fall back on the old stock excuse that white help will not work with Colored help. Now let us see if this is the truth. In every department of the public service white and Colored help work side by side without friction, because they know that the department heads will stand for no color nonsense from its employees, and those objecting to us as fellow employees would be dismissed from the public service without ceremony. If weak-kneed employers of quasi-public service corporations, and large private concerns, had backbone enough to tell the silly objectors dependent upon them for their daily bread to attend to their own affairs, and let the management of these concerns, who have their thousands invested in the operation of their business, run their affairs, the color line would speedily vanish and a troublesom labor oblem would be easily solved. Instead of the management of these concerns taking this attitude, and little Miss Tese and little Miss Maggie Nobody dictating to us as to whom they shall or shall not employ. The whole situation ridiculous and could obtain in no other country except America. The disease is strictly Dementia Americana. What is true of the telephone company is true of the gas company and the street railway company. We spend thousands of dollars annually as users of gas and upon the cars of the surface lines. In return the gas company has given us a doorman and the street railway company a porter. In answer to our appeals for employment we are told by these concerns that "our white employees will not work with your people." The question could be quickly and easily settled if these concerns had nerve enough to show these dependents the door. Now "Senator" McCormick can bear witness, if that doctrine really lives in Medellín McCormick here is our hand and heart, and the ballot, and may the gods attend him. Our hope is that he will not falter. This we venture, because northern white men are merely cowards before southern white men. Mr. McCormick knows this. This final paragraph is good gospel: "Sir, as I have said to you, I have never been the posing and proclaiming of the American society, whether foreign or native born, Protestant, Catholic or Jewish; have believed as I preach, that plain, simple justice must be done all of us, not only for justice's sake, but because we Americans, as a people, cannot advance if injustice be done any element among us. Good luck & Ms. McCormick. We hope the Race will never regret that the North will not be able to win the South, which the South nor its politicians would ever glory. Mr. McCormick, do not senate honor on solving the race problem. That is God's business. Simply stand on Republican principles, grow into a big man and leave the rest to the Supporting Our Friends On Nov. 5—only a few days hence—hundreds of thousands of voters in Chicago, as well as throughout the state of Illinois, will proceed to their respective balloting stations for the purpose of exercising the most cherished privileges in all human affairs—the casting of an untrammeled freeman's ballot. Men are involved, men are on an equal footing and all are equally free and qualified to determine issues and policies that will promote or retard progress or welfare for years and years to come. This responsibility, though great, is one that is necessary to assume, and while nowhere under the sun does the same degree of political freedom prevail in all human affairs—the casting of an untrammeled freeman's ballot as in Chicago, if should likewise be understood that these valued rights did not extend to the extent in which they are now in evidence, since these were secured and they were established step by step. It therefore follows in logical order that the great benefits we enjoy in our relationships as citizens, the greater the weight of responsibility we must carry in order to maintain for ourselves and press our identity. In brief this is the response which the above communication demands. As a people we have been held in political and industrial bondage for a century, but gradually we have emerged from both, and now we are marching to that industrial freedom which is being installed throughout the world, that bright day in the future when the labor power of our people will not be sacrilegious, qualified the honesty of work or made a purchasable commodity in the polling place. It is with this thought in mind that we appeal at this time is put before those in whose interest we have labored and whose manent, substantial progress we have enlisted such faculties as we are able to command. If we expatriate ourselves politically we weld our own chains industrially, as without political emancipation there cannot be economic freedom. Judge Scully no party, no race and no condition, as is evident by answer to our inquiry. The principle of uncontaminated balloting has had his close scrutiny at all audits and has been the basis of the assurance of security at the ballot box our boasted ideas of justice, assurance, and safety and protection for the humble as well as the foundations of the opulent become undermined, while oppression and corruption take control. "The Way, The Truth And the Light" Elsewhere, somewhere towards east or west, in this week's Defender will be found a stirring indorsement of Thomas Van Lear, mayor of Minneapolis, and running for that high office again. The indorsement is of a man, a four-square man, and the indorsers are men, four-square men also, and determined to be more so in the future. Mayor Van Lear drove from the borders on his city that vulgar imposition known as the "Birth of a Nation." He was plain about what he was as it as a play and as a matter of history. As a play it did more to stir up anger than all the German propaganda that we are daily fighting, history, and Nor Vant declared that it was a lie and not true to history. That is to say, the mayor As a people we cherish freedom so situations so strongly that a searchlight one of us does not place the plan that supreme evidence of devotion of flourish and continue to be preserved. object lesson today. In the performance of our duty be our political performance and discern of Judge Thomas F.

As a people we cherish freedom so highly and are attached to our free institutions so strongly that a searchlight of the greatest power would fall to find one of us who does not love the glory of both and who is unwilling to display that supreme evidence of devotion of life itself, in order that this nation may flourish and continue to be preserved. The battle fronts of France furnish this objectively toay. In the performance of our duty let patriotic fervor go hand in hand with our political performance and discernment and by our votes make the return of Judge Thomas F. Scully a certainty. The Other Fellow We waste much of our valuable time wondering what our status will be after the war, if "him Crowism" in every form will be abolished, if the horse head of prejudice will rise as often as in the past, if the line so distracts us and to our well wishers on the other side will be crushed and American citizens will be punished, if the prejudice will kill us but one reply: Rome was not built in a day; the prejudices and traditions of the American white man must go as they came, gradually for man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. Our future hinges on our making good—not good for Colored people—there must be a standard for all, and every man who is not black; there must be to that standard. Our whining, baby, do not succeed must measure up our shortcomings be overlooked; the need of many worth will be applied equally to all—if anything we must be made the better to get equal credit. We need the very best that is in office whatever task is set before us. We have asked for an even break, it is up to us to attend strictly, our own business and let the other fellow do the same thing. If we take care of the todays the tomorrows will take care of themselves. Surrender IN A NITTSHELL "surrender" warson's best communication to Germany, the American people's real sentiments to the Huns must be paid by demanding the veil or any other nation able by any other means thrown to the winds by our enemy are spared no man or no thing. To meet all allies to resort to similar tactics that on account of the acceptance to accept anything from Germany, conditional surrender at this time would which it would not soon recover. We he sands of human lives and at the cost of our lives, we must be in the past four years can be replaced by we have the monster practically at our need to be further tightened to force a surrender of our lives, we have the chicken-hearted, modify our dmands?

In France countries the sentiments expressed by our allies were as close as are the French, the Be our pursues, and our best blood is being allies were dragged into this war. German hand will drag her out of this war when many wants and what she will get are **LLL "surrender"** was the dominant note to Germany. The time for tempus's real sentiments has long since passed, by demanding the veritable pound of flesh ablade by any international laws or orders, by our enemy and a fierce, bloody coing thing. To meet this condition it was similar tactics that made this war, grews lying from Germany and her allies but at this time would be to deal demon recover. We have paid the price of assets and at the cost of untold billions in damage, and can be replaced even in a physical sense practically at our mercy, when only tightened to force advocates of the rule of law can be used to defy our dmands? A thousand times but Wilson stand one hundred million sir each one. In France, in England and sentes expressed by our chief executive, the French, the Belgians or the English best blood is being sent to strengthen into this war. Germany is praying the out of this war while she is yet all tougt out she will get are quite different.

Fields The influences for evil, whether in state or church, have never been without sufficient financial aid to secure a certain element of questionable leaders to convey their schemes. A brief review of the character of many of the leaders opposing with a free mind and for the most part they represent "the bought and paid for" tribe. It is significant to note that the leaders in defense of their political bosses is usually "abuse" and their "logic" consists of charges that those who disagree with them have "sold out" and that people must appear humorous to the average citizen who has lived in the community for any length of time and may be a leader in the public career of these men. Especially when it's notoriously true that a number of these so-called leaders may have been "off of honor and respectability by proven charges of corruption and dishonesty. Loyalty Unrewarded A few weeks ago we ventured to advance the theory to the end that it would be to our best advantage to challenge the best become part of machinery of both parties. We endeavored to reason from the orderly process of thought that it was a dangerous proposition to carry all the power of the law intended that after fifty years of continued loyalty to one party we found ourselves without a representative in the disfranchised in a number of states, this in face of the fact that Republicans have been in control of both parties, with but two exceptions, every term with but two exceptions. Yet we are admonished by those who still call themselves leaders to still follow the ship and in support of their leadership, and to mention to the fact that the Republican party freed us. They fail to add that it was also the Republican party or its leaders who entered into a conspiracy to vote in certain southern states. They fail also to tell us that when we were being disfranchised in the South notwithstanding the fact that the Republican party had the house of Congress, no effort was made or their part to stay the hand which destroyed our political rights. The Republican party was accessory to the conspiracy made them conceiveable that we could have been subjected to any, worse disadvantages under a Congress controlled by Democrats than we were under a congress controlled by Republicans that country, it was to this party that we had given our unstinted loyalty and yet they permitted certain states to rob us of their rights under the pretense that Congress could not interfere. Ask Representation If this argument be true that the Republican Congress could give us no protection is it not at least inadvisable that we place ourselves in position by which we can influence in Congress, through the medium of the Democratic party in the East, North and West: to the end that we may have someone to represent the nation. We can only secure this representation by dividing our vote. We surely could not expect a man to give us the best advice in the nation after we had tried for fifty years to prevent him from building it. The same reasoning would apply. In order to enjoy some of the fruits of victory we must be a party to the struggle of the victor. Methods may change, but "principies are eternal." The man who stands with his face towards Lincoln stands with his face toward Lincoln stands with his face toward Lincoln faces the dead past, but the one who stands with his face toward our country's chief executive is pointing with his face toward Lincoln, who is a remarkable character in his day, fitted well the environment of his time. That was over fifty years ago. Take measurement of the growth of the country since then, and compare it with the growth of mercy, industry and wealth, then note our plight for having followed strict party affiliation. It will be found that we are still pyramids in all of the adverbs of mankind. Yet our leaders council us to stick to the republican party. "The Hand of Esau" Locally this same class of leadership is supporting an element of republicans in this city whose success William Hale Thompson, the best friend politically our people have had the past half century. The question, therefore, resolves into and into a question for our consideration. Shall we vote to elect the Brundage-Galpin ticket in Cook county, a republican faction whose nomination will be the minimum of William Hale Thompson or will we vote to destroy their political influence which will mean the suspections of William Hale Thompson, best friends we have ever had in the republican party? Choose ye Tuesday, November 5, whom ye shall serve. Be decoded, for IT IS THE VOICE OF COOP, BUT IT IS THE HAND OF ESAU. INDORSE MAYOR VAN LEAR Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 1.—The citizens of Minneapolis on the 5th of November have been re-elected the mayor of our said city, the man who said, in plain words, that "the Birth of a Nation" was false, and not "the history, and that, as long as he was the mayor, we shall be shown in Minneapolis, which promise he has made good." So "over the top," boys, for our present and future mayor, Thomas Van Lear. Endorsers Dr. J. H. Redd, J. E. S. Stewart, A Watkins, C. W. Dwyer, E. M. Mathews, P. Dwyer, E. M. Mathews, B.

It is earnestly hoped that the organization, medately call together representatives of the different churches, secret societies, women's clubs and other organizations among us and form at once a board of presidents and a peer book for membership. The method of organization is exactly the same as any other. A president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and chairman of executive committee are elected, by the membership, and a time set for regular meetings, at which time shall be taken up all matters of local interest affecting the Race and finances for raising money to send materials to this important congress in January.
