Some with the newspaper men the story of their trials and tribulations while on route to this country. Officers of the regiment were sent to New York to Crowd* and that their regimental form presented to them by Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Defender. At the cage on Feb. 12, 1918, prior to their leaving for France, had been "junked" by an order said to have come from the captain (the Master (white). One of the officers upon the action of the colonel said:
Officers Ashamed
"We are coming home filled with chagrin and ashamed to face our friends in Chicago, who presented us with that beautiful stand of colors. We were so proud of the missions that have gone home before us have done. We would have to march without a flag, for the only one in the Army fighting. In captain Robinson carried in his pocket the nine weeks we were continuously at the front in Vosges and in the Argonne fighting. When Gen. Pershing mended the 365th for its valorous deeds ours was the only regiment which did not have a flag; it had been sent to the scrap heap. A written protest seeking to have the segregation order rescinded, but Brig. Gen. Charles Geerhard, commanding all troops on the
WALK J. OPPONENTS
AUGUSTINE Primary, battle and the thousands of casualties of the military soldiers, who marched forth on Tuesday last to do battle for their respective candidates have returned to the coming election proceed maries of victory which these show visible signs of their defeat.
It is presumed that those who lost will put away their poison gas bags and in the coming election proceed maries of sand warfare. They fought a good fight, now let them be good losers.
Alderman Louis B. Anderson, who was opposed by ex-Alderman Oscar De Priest and the Sam A. Wallace, won his two opponents and will succeed himself in the City Council in April.
M. V. L. Criticised
Mayor William Hale Thompson outdistanced both of his opponents by conclusively that the old sister who met Capt. Merriam in Paris and told him that he was to be the next mayor of Chicago was reckoning without her loss. The people of this city away deceived him and suffered their faith in the administration of William Hale Thompson, and indicated by their vote that they have little confidence in that institution known as the Mueller Institute of Politics, the waning influence of the M. V. L. that they will soon be forced to go out of business as special political advisers for the people of Chicago, for the voters have indicated by their concession to free advice handed out so profusely by the Municipal Voters League and certain daily papers.
Judge Grants Right to
VOTE IN CITY PRIMARY
Waco, Tex. Feb. 28.—As a result of a lawsuit by the court by Judge Erwin J. Clark in the case of L. M. Sublett versus L. E. Lucke (white), our people may take part in the city primaries. The city white primary has been declared unlawful and the city has been ordered to saying who shall rule. The measure was vigorously fought by Democrats who have climbed into office at the expense of our people and who have been accused of violating the control of the ballot. Attorney R. D. Evans represented Mr. Sublett. Judge Clark in giving his decision stated that in keeping our people from being was in violation of the federal and constitutional law, and also contrary to a provision of the Terrell election law.
"Bug Juice" Causes Arrest of Virginia Minister
Grafton, W. Va., Feb. 28.—Two calons of Green River whisky carefully smuggled away in a suitcase proved the unloading of Rev. J. H. Ross, Mrs. Ascare Ross, the Misses Annie Winston and Gertrude Trice when they got to the station here.

Locked Out
The door to the main dining room was slammed in the officer's face when they endeavored to gain entrance. British officers told the men that the commanding officer instructed them to bar all men who were not white. The rejected officers were led to a side dining room, a room set apart from them, but refused to eat. A room was drafted and presented to Brig. Richard, who paid slight attention to the plea, but said that the order was not issued as a matter of segregation.
"Where Is That Flag?"
"There was no segregation on the battlefields of Europe. We all fought together as Americans through and tough to, in order to entain bringing victory to the American arms and peace to the entire world," said the officers to Geathardt. Every officer who had been slighted by the commanding officials stated that as soon as they were concerted effort would be made to deter them from being sponsible for the order, and why it was issued. The regiment was greatly embarrassed as it marched through the streets of New York. Yells greeted the officers: "Where is that regimental fast?"
Congressional Probe Asked
Congressional Probe Asked
Upon learning that the regiment had been learning that the regiment had been Chicagos flooded ten miles, prominent Chicagos flooded ten miles, resentatives at Washington, asking that an investigation be made, and that the officer who "pulled the boner" but instead "pulled the boner" the American acts while serving the states and stripes is a reduction in rank or a sentence by courtmartial. Senator Hamilton Lewith, Congressman Marilyn Hilliard, has pleaded for a congressional investigation.
The 865th Infantry left Camp Grant May 28, last, and sailed for France in writing in the Voyage in September and for a visit to fighting its way from Pont a Mousson to within ten kilometers (six miles) of Metz, it lost 62 dead and the troops on board the Olympia who offered embarrassment at the hands of the commanders were the 350th field artillery and the 317th sanitary train. Col. Vernon A. Caldwell (white), still affectionately referred to as the "father of the 365th," although it left Sept. 22 to become a brigaded general. Col. Caldwell is a northerner.

Congress Hears Record of Race
Representative Emerson Appeals for Equal Rights for All.
(By Continental Press)
Washington, D. C., Feb. 28.—"I am in favor of giving every man, black and white, an even opportunity to work out his own salvation. Equal opportunity is the essence of a free government; without it a free government ceases to exist," said Congressman H. I. Emerson of Ohio before the house of representatives, in a speech paying tribute to our Race for the remarkable strides made during the past fifty years. "What the Colored man needs is education and an equal opportunity. Education is the only safeguard for this opportunity is given the colored race, what will they do in the next fifty years," he continued.
Lauds Soldiers
Following these remarks the congressman read from statistics which indicated progress and accomplishments made by the last half of a century. He reduced to figures the number of homes, farms, colleges, churches, businesses and organizations our group. A tribute to our soldier comes from the time the Crispus Attacks fell in the Boston massacre to the present war, was recited in eloquent terms, and was a celebration of courage and fearlessness, together with faithfulness were pointed out vividly.
Against Lynching
In concluding his speech, a bomb shell was aimed at the Southland: he hurried it in this fashion: "Lychnings are a form of anarchy, whether the person lychning is black or white low. They should be discouraged by all the means and all the power at the government command. If one crowd people may lychning or guillify, one never knows who will be the victim of the next lychning." At the close of this statement the assembly cheered loudly.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY!
So great was the demand for the CHICAGO DEFENDER'S Pictorial War issue that an extra edition had to be printed, a few copies of which are still to be had at the same old price, made.
BOGUS WAR HERO
EXPOSES MINISTER
Man Who Posed as Sergeant Johnson Makes a Confession
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 28.—Albert Parker, self-styled war hero, who posed as Sergt Henry Johnson and when arrested was in the act of addressing 7,000 people at the Coliseum, talked freely of his lecture tour when interviewed by a Defender representative. People believed that he came to the city upon the request of Roy Shaw, a local minister, whom he met in a restaurant at Mobile, Ala., a few months ago. He declared that it was not his intention to fleece the people, but to make them feel good for a few hours with his magnificent "sound." did not tell Dr. Shaw that I was the Henry Johnson who had killed 38 Germans in No Man's Land," he said. "After I had talked with him a while, he told me to fix up and he would arrange a royal time for me in St. Louis."
Buys Own Decorations
When asked why did he enter upon the profession of faking the public by means of the war hero route, Parker had to explain why he was because of Dr. Shaw told me I could make money. I was seedy and he told me to fix up, so I got a lot of gold braid, brass buttons and other decorations for inspection. He told me: 'Ah, you see me. Here is my card and when I get home I will arrange a big time for you."
A Countrywide Fleecer
Parker laughed at how he had bluffed crowds in Cairo, Ill., Montgomery, Ala., Savannah, Ga., Charles-les-Montgomery, Raleigh, N. C. His meeting at Cairo was him good money, he declared. He left but when people began to question him regarding the croix de guerre he had been awarded for bravery. Chicken nests, receptions and all forms of social interaction were showered upon him by his "admirers," been decided by the police department here to turn Parker over to the federal authorities on a charge of imposition on an army officer. (A picture of Parker's outfit will be found on another page in this issue.)

Defender New
Reaches Yea
After one full year of operation the Defender New York office, at 40 West 135th street, has become a fixed thing in the minds and hearts of New Yorkers. From an obscure place in the eyes of certain people this office has come into such prominence that it is often now the mecca for some of the biggest people in Greater New York. On "paper day" there is a beaten path from Lenox avenue down 135th street to this office of anxious newsies, who weekly dispose of more than 3,000 Defenders themselves on the streets of Harlem on "press day." Monday one of the busiest spots in Harlem is right here in this office. On that day the staff here turns out or finishes up more news than is to be found in any other local paper. In fact, many prominent New Yorkers have said on several occasions that "we find more New York news in the Defender than in any other New York paper."
Opened March 1. 1918
March 1, 1918, is the date when the office first opened for business. The staff then conasted of William White, general manager; Walter B. Abbott, business manager; Charles T. Magill, in charge of news, and Pauline Snowden, stenographer. Since then Oscar J. Benson and Ruth E. Whitehurst have been added to the staff, with Walter R. Lofton as Brooklyn representative. Special contributors are at present, also added to the Dafender workers during the year, Daniel J. Mobley, East New York; Albert B. Modecal, Modesto Bravo and Pauline Queen. Thriving agencies and correspondents have also been located, as the work of this office, in Newark, Jersey City, Carona and Jamalca, L. I.; Yonkers, White Plains, Ossining, Peekskill, Poughkeepsie, Stamford, Conn.; Waterbury, Conn., and New Haven. A few years ago Oscar J. Benson looked after the sale of Defenders in Manhattan, through the Harlem district; Walter B. Abbott circulated the paper downtown and in the Columbus Hill section, while William White cared for the Brooklyn end. Little New York news appeared in those days, however, until White undertook the sending in of news. He found the people so interested in reading Brooklyn news that he enlisted the services of Charles T. Magill to write news for him. Together they circulated the paper across the river. At one time White had Sergt. Rosco Lee of the old 15th writing sports for him, as well as John E. Patterson, who took up Lee's work when the latter went to war.
Circulation Grows
The Brooklyn circulation grew by leaps and bounds until, finding it impossible to distribute 1,100 papers, White and Abbott hit on the plan of an office. Together they journeyed to Chicago and obtained permission to try out the scheme. Because of his adaptability to the newspaper game, R. S. Abbott placed White in the office, with Walter B. Abbott, a 14th of the owner, in charge of the news end. White, who up to that time was a postal mark in the New York postoffice, then resigned there) The general manager placed) Magill in charge of the news and bestowed on that individual the title of staff correspondent. Pauline Snowden was taken on then as stenographer, and now, after one year

of tutoring, has become as good a newspaper worker, all around, as it to be found in any newspaper office.
The Race First
Under a policy of the Raco—our public—first, the staff has built up a circulation in Greater New York in one year of 18,000. This bona fide circulation includes 13,000 in Manhattan and 5,000 in Brooklyn, but does not include those Defenders sold each week by out-of-town agents in this vicinity. That number reaches now the auspicious mark of 13,785, making an actual bona fide circulation in and around New York of 31,785. An enviable record, indeed. Courtesy, attention to business, a pull-together spirit among the entire staff, working always for and in the interest of the World's Greatest Weekly, has made the members here in New York an excellent newspaper working machine—one that New Yorkers have learned to their pleasure—and sometimes to their sorrow—to reckon with.
Aided Window Smashing Affair
Three Race men, one said to have been in army uniform, are reported to have walked up to the window of Jacob Braunstein's jewelry store, 2707 Third avenue, the Bronx, one evening last week and completely demolished same. Braunstein claims $425 worth of jewelry was missing after the bombardment.

Lieut Harvey at Dix
The Defender office was visited last week by Lieut. Jesse Harvey of Mount Vernon, N. Y., at one time a postal clerk attached to the railway mail service, Grand Central terminal. Lieut. Harvey, who just before the war was a mining engineer in Mexico, won his spurs at Fort Des Moines, but resigned. Later he entered the army as a second lieutenant with the 372d infantry, winning promotion to first lieutenant in the A. E. F. in France. He saw active service on the bloody battlefields, and one night while on horseback his mount became frightened by a shell and tumbled the lieutenant into an unseen trench. As a result Lieut. Harvey suffered an injury to his spine that may prove permanent. He has applied for a commission in the regular army and expects to receive it. At present Harvey is located with the 413th Bm., Q. M. C., Camp Dix.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
Many Brooklynites Visit Office Brooklynites are getting more like Chicagoans every day, as far as being loyal is concerned. Monday, Feb. 17, the day of the old 15th infantry parade, many hundreds who visited Harlem also made it their business to make the Defender New York office their headquarters during the day. Brooklyn is where the foundation was laid for the opening of the New York office and they likewise have grown with the Defender and believe in it. Hence Brooklyn, especially East New York, is getting more like Chicago every day.

In a statement to the Defender Geo. E. Wibecan, the well-known Brooklynite, was bitter in his denunciation of the treatment accorded residents of the borough of Brooklyn in the matter of grand stand seats for the 15th parade. According to Wibecan, who was a prominent member of the committee in charge of the affair, but fifty grand stand seats were allotted to him for his constituents across the river, notwithstanding the fact that one whole battalion, the Second, of the 15th came from Brooklyn, and also notwithstanding that there are 45,000 members of our Race residents there. Mr. Wibecan, long noted for his interest in civic affairs pertaining to our Race, worked hard and faithfully to make the affair a success, and at the Civic League, where the tickets were handed out the Saturday evening before the parade, he was vehement in expressing his displeasure at the treatment accorded Brooklynites.

I believe that if any person goes into a legitimate business and puts into it the proper amount of energy and good business principles, with proper backing, he is sure to win if he sticks to it. I have had a little over one year's experience in the oil business and I am glad to say that my work has been very fruitful. I have paid out a few thousand dollars in dividends to our people throughout this country, and I can see very plainly the great fortune that awaits us in the near future in oil. I receive letters of congratulations daily from people stating that this was their first time to invest in a Negro business concern and receive a dividend in such a short time. I am determined to succeed in this way. I am determined to provoke the world that Negroes are when the time big things as well as Ford expects. Are you not with me? In this season

Jamaica, N. Y., Feb. 23.—The account as to Rev. E, C. Wilson, former pastor of Allen A. M. E. church, winning a verdict against said church for $220 that appeared in the Defender issue of Feb. 22, has been branded as untrue by the present pastor, T. G. Clurk, a defendant, a deacon, and downed down Thursday, Feb. 20, by Judge Kennedy in favor of the church. Counsellor Julius L. Mitchell of Manhattan represented the plaintiff, while Counsellor Elmer Ashmead (white) of Jamaica appeared for the church. When interviewed by a reporter Rev. Clark, Counsellor Elmer Ashmead was just, fair and impartial, founded on our own church law and sustained by that of the state. I knew it could not be decided otherwise.

OVER OIL. WHY?
Because thousands of Negroes living in the oil producing States of Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas have seen their white neighbors grow rich over night and it has awakened in his heart a desire to share in the riches to be gained by investing in the black liquid gold. Our Company is the only company offering our people an opportunity to share their fortunes with us. Our leases are all in proven territory. No wildcatting. All we need is money to make the drills hum, and now is drilling time. We invite you to come in ahead of the drill and be on the inside.

Who Is Who Among the Negroes
If any Negro business enterprise depends in the so called Big Negro for his support, such as the Preacher, Teacher, Doctor, Lawyer and other Negro business men and women, I feel sorry for his business, because it's already a failure. This class that I have mentioned, are just an easy mark for the sheer white crook that always wishes to do you a favor, because you Yer So, and So still Yer So, and nine times out of ten when they get your money you never hear from them again and you wouldn't be able to trace them by the best detective bureau in the country, because you don't know them or anybody connected with them. You are smart and educated. Now, if these same Negroes who can afford to invest a few hundred or a thousand or so dollars would invest their money with Negro business enterprises and boost them whenever possible, our Race would be advanced a hundred per cent father today. The statement is backed up by eight years actual experience in business. Let's get out of this, let's stick together. Show your loyalty by buying a block of our stock.

The washer woman, the hard laboring man, and the hard laboring Negro, as a whole, deserve much credit, they are really race loving people. They want to see their race succeed and will always do their bit, both by investing and boosting, while the so-called Big Negro is preaching race patronage and slipping around spending their money with white companies, that either don't want their business, or it's a fake concern.

Our President, Mr. J. J. Allen, is now in Texas looking after the Company's interest there. He will no doubt be on the ground there most of the time while the drilling is going on to personally supervise the work. He will be on the ground there most of the time, as quite a few Negroes in Texas own in the oil region that they want us to lease and also quite a few Negroes in Texas that want to invest heavily in the stock have asked for a personal interview with our President, James McNeil, to give while in Texas. Our Treasurer James McNeil is now spending three or four weeks in Oklahoma for the same purpose that our President is in Texas. If any one in either of these States wishes to see our President or the office at one and the same position forwarded to them. If you believe in what you preach buy a block of our stock at once.

THEATER
The most powerful ma.rimonial
drama ever presented on the sereen 15
“Why T Would Not Marry," which Is
having a five days’ run, ending at the
final show on Sunday’ night, at the
popular States theater, It is a Fox
feature, and is remarkable in more
ways than one. It carries four adlfrer-
ent and distinct stories and 1s go full
of climaxes tht the patrons of this
fine house ave being held spellbound
by the rapid and sensational. action.
Thero are many questions answered In
this powerful special, the least of
which is not this:
“Is poverty an aid to matrimonial
happiness?"
Charles M, Schwab, millionaire steel
producer and ship builder, sald at a re-
cent ship christening that hia wife,
who stood by his side, had always been
his guiding spirit, “It was she." he
declared, turning toward her, “who
haa made my married life more happy
than my business life.”
When Schwab was a dollar-n-day
laborer his wife shared his poverty,
comforted him, and, it is said, gave
him valuable advice that helped him
amass tho fortune he now possesses,
John D. Rockefeller was a poor store
clerk when he married. His trinly and
the tribulations of his early’ lite are

the world’s richest man, Ho, himsolf,
has said that he looked to his wife for
Jadvice when momentous business
questions were to be decided.
Andrew Carnegie, philanthropist, rose
from poverty to one of the world’s
richest men. He was well along in
life before ne married, but his wife
has shared his rise to fortune and the
trials incident to it,
A girl of affluence, who becomes
Poor, lives her life over again and
rises through poverty to happiness in
this great morality play. Don't miva
seeing this feature.
Popular Edgar Lillison, just back
from “over there," where'he “run the
Huns” with the ' Old Eighth, was
caller at the Old Roll Top Desie tate
last week. Ho was looking the picture

"MAN IN THE OPEN"
Dustin Farnum at His Best in Roger Pocock Play
Ever a popular favorite on screen and stage, Dustin Farnum is enjoying the good fortune, according to general report, of being provided in his latest screen superfeature what is proving to be the strongest and most attractive role of his career
This offering, under the management of United Fiction Theaters, Inc., is closely based in story on the thrilling novel written by Roger Pocock, and the adventures of a son of Maine, who, shiltsweeps on a voyage, falls into the relationship sturdy and great-hearted men of the northwest. Fate, however, plays a shabby trick on the tenderfoot in permitting him to fall a victim to the wiles of an adventures, who beguiles his marriage simply to win a wager she holds in her赋ment follows for this man of the land, and he betakes himself to the virgin woods to lead the life of a "Man in the Open." His stirring adventures in the northwestern wilds form the main thread of the story, in which another, and this time, a wholesouled girl finds fascinating heart interest to the action of "A Man in the Open" is swift and punctuated by periods of gripping suspense, with a startling denouement to close the story.
The latest Farmum play is credited with supporting cast, not the least of its features being some wonderful photography of forest, mountain and night scenes.
A Man in the Open" will be seen at
the clock on State, on Sunday. "Don't miss it."

"THE SILVER KING"
"THE SILVER KING"
After holding the stage in England and this country for over thirty years, "The Silver King," the famous melodrama of English life, written by Henry Arthur Jones and Henry Hermann, has been pictured with William Favre in the stellar role, and this great Painter-Artscraft special picture will be shown at the Pickford theater next Sunday. "The Silver King" deals with the adventures of Wilfred Denver, an English country squire, who is ruined by a supposed friend in revenge for cutful girl who in the affection of a beautiful girl who in the marries. Years later, Ware induces Denver, but he has on a Derby race, the result that he is in impoverished. When Denver hears Ware gloating over the success of his scheme, he goes to the court house at night with the intention of buying but Ware instead is slain by a leader.
Denver is suspected of the crime, he evades arrest by fleeing to this country and he amasses a fortune in a western mining camp. His wife and friends, as well as the police, believe him to have been killed in a railroad accident and when he reappears in England under an assumed name execling overtime. Denver's innocence of murder is established and he is reunited with his family. Mr. Faversham is supported by Barbara Castleton, who plays opposite him; Washington Gumble, John Sandland and other well known players.
"JUST A WOMAN"
The day after the first performance of the "Woman" in New York, where it ran for an hour and the public alike went forth singing the thor's praise. The play is written in acts and an epilogue, and the scenes are laid among the great steel industries.
Through the inspiration of his ambitious wife a common workman rises to the position of head of a large steel corporation. He becomes a figure of force and influence, both in the industry and in the social world. Here he meets a man woman who, had it not been for his true and loyal wife, he would never have been able to meet.
As is generally the case, "fine features soon attract "fool man," and his home is in the way of him. He stays away and always offers the man "business demands that I go here and there." At last he is made to believe that his wife is beneath him, too uncultured to be seen in society. Unable to find anything in her conduct that warrant divorce, he trumps her charges with the aid of an unscrupulous detective agency and brings her to trial.
The wife refuses to defend herself, and the judge announces his intention to give the husband the decree with which she husband the boy, the only joy she has known since the former days as the wife of a poor but loving husband. It is at this point that her womanhood asserts itself; she rushes to the stand; she perjures herself by deceit; she is forced from her against her are true, but that the child cannot be given to the husband, because he is not its father. Here we see to what length a true woman will touch her own flesh and blood, "her child," she says, "because her greater love knoweth no man than the love of a true woman for her child. See it at the Avenue Theater next week.

When old Tom Lemonier makes up his mind to send in a letter he takes his pen in hand and spreads himself. He sure knows his Jones when it comes to putting his noise over, and the world enjoys it. Here is what he says on this festive occasion:
Hello, Pally: How are you and how are you doing? Well, I will start off by telling you a little about the return of the 15th. Oh, boy. I stayed up all night so as not to miss seeing those heroes and hearing Jim Europe's band. Some band and some boys. They sure run those Huns out of gas and you can't blame the Huns when you look at these fellows. And the best part of it was, they looked like as if they were starting over instead of just returning. Some day here, be here, be me. The Bolders were a large hit. In Lincoln they last week. Honey Johnhawk they first half. Rucker and Wintred were a real riot at Proctor's 125th Street theater; they stopped the show just like the 15th did the Huns. Walter Crumbley is back in the big city again and says to Halifax with Halifax; it's too dry and slow and cold for him. Little Ida Forsyne will sail for Europe in a few days to join Belle Dale; she is looking for picks; picks are hard to find nowadays, but I know where she

I saw an old pal of yours—Kid Griffin—and he says that if that Hebrew man had any Scotch he would feel like inhaling it himself; he and his pal Tom Philly—Alex Rogers—both send best regards to you. Little Pud Nelson is around looking like the preacher's son who laid his Bible down. Charles H. Moore is back in New York smoking his 30 cent cigars, and Dad Kelly is with him hitting his same old pipe. Sam King is still looking for a heart game and Paul Floyd is still! Palmer Housing. His dogs never will stop barking. Lew Payton keeps very busy writing new songs. Jerome claims that they tried to jam him, but he fooled them. Oh, boy, but he looks the part. Tom Brown looks as good today as he did 33 years 18 months, 5 weeks and 9 days ago. Bob Kemp says that you can't keep a good man down, but many a one has fell trying to be good to those who are no good to themselves. Banks, the Fried Chicken man, turns a fried chicken; he surely knows what to do. He gets his breadhooks on him. Walker Thompson and Jim Burris are a couple of busy fellows since they came back. You can't head off that pair. Well, old pal, I can't think of any more dope. Be a good lad and drop a fellow a line once in a while. All the boys and girls say, "Hello, Tony."

For some time it seemed that bedlam reigned supreme. It was not until the troops had started on their line of march were the police able to restore order. After determining and military discipline was costed the heroes of many battles "over there" and their line of march under command of Statenant Colonel W. O.

Last Sunday an audience of more than 1,000 persons listened to a very eloquent and forceful address delivered by Senator John Halley of Poorville, at the Quinn Dalley Chapel church, held in Quinn Chapel church.

He spoke of the effect of having male men as representatives in the state legislature. A. H. Roberts a high compliment. Prof. E. C. Deas conducted a chorus of fifty voices which furnished several very fine musical numbers. The solo by Miss Gertrude Barner completely captivated her hearers. Hon. A. H.

Plea for Higher Street Budget
Alderman Jackson went into the street and alley cleaning and garbage removal question such as no alderman city official, had ever done before and city officials had ever done before, the masterpiece of the budget making. His plea for an addition of one million dollars for this public service and health benefit for the people of the city was made by the council as one of the greatest acts performed by an alderman since the city council was organized, and as usual the big lally newspapers made no mention of his role. The Race has produced a real statesman in Alderman Jackson and the Second ward should feel proud of the fact that they produced a city father who has occupied a seat in that distinguished body of the city's government.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perforators that get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and give a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is one of the most well-known stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is the main reason of an expert chemist and L: made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the hair. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with entirely Quinasap. Quinasap is made principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap latters very freely. It leaves the hair soft and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unrequited by any other shampoo.
Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Sinead's miniswap asking for them by the full miniswap asking for them if your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his whole mail to you. Your price and we will mail them to you. Sinead's East 130th street New York city, Add

Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often hits to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess, used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

Following an article published in a Chicago Sunday paper a few weeks ago of a get-together movement to establish a social center in Kenwood town, truly a success, sons, regardless of race, creed, rich or poor, we now find a new organization known as the Kenwood Property Owners' Association, located at 947 10th Street, which is composed principally of women, a state men and a few bankers, who have circulated letters to property owners throughout the district, with an enclosed clipping of an injunction proclamation against the opening of a Negro hospital. It appears upon the face of it that the association was organized with the principal object of stopping the inflow of unauthorized tenants; the district bounded on men's street, south by 53rd street, on the west by Cottage Grove avenue, and on the east by Lake Michigan; and to make Kenwood a home for the angels, to mail $5.00 to the secretary to become a member and it will do the rest.
Let us face this proposition in its true light: Kenwood in early days was known as the most desirable reservation in the Chicago; but now we find the old palatial shadedy by flat buildings everywhere, occupied by people who have come from every section of the city and forced themselves upon the old residents, taking away the exclusiveness and having more. Being in a position and having more, we have migrated to the cool coast, with the result that there are now more houses that are going to wreck, more for sale and for rents signs placarded the district than in any part of the city, representing in value to such an extent that many common laborer can buy or rent. Here come the knockers, with their propaganda, deeply interested and with little or no money, who are going to resurrect anything—the bathing holes, parks and playgrounds, morals and art—and are—to increase their acquaintances—working against the inevitable.
What does this all mean to us; this readjustment through which our city is passing? An invitation to get busy. Regardless of the pangs of the call, the progress of the still continue—buying home, indoors, indoors are offered, renting more desirable flats, improving our condition.

BILL NUMBER 15338
IN THE HOUSE of Representatives our friend, Congressman Martin B. Madden, recently introduced a bill to amend an act entitled "An Act to regulate commerce," which in brief provides that in interstate transportation no discrimination shall be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. In Texas, Florida and several other southern states, legislators have introduced bills that had for their object the betterment of conditions for the darker hued citizens in their respective domains. To all of these men who have the courage of their convictions, who stand out in bold relief and advocate an unpopular cause, who believe that every American citizen is entitled to the same rights and privileges, we are grateful.
IT IS NOT CONCEDED praise should be bestowed on one who simply sees a duty and performs it, but when it is taken into consideration that not only things, but most people, move along the lines of least resistance, and when those are found who refuse to pass around a stumbling block, but attempt to throw the block not only from their path but from the path of all who follow, we would be less than human did we not commend them.
WHILE WE ARE WILLING to commend any friend seeking to help us, yet we are unable to understand the necessity for additional legislation touching our rights as a citizen of this land. If any bill is introduced in Congress it should be a measure to enforce the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. In the three Amendments, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth, lies a cure for every grievance of which we complain. These Amendments were not intended as a joke; the framers of the Constitution were men actuated by the highest motives, and they did not intend that any section of the Constitution should have one application for the white and another for the black. Neither did they intend that the Amendments in question should have such elasticity that they could be bent to the will of any particular section of this country.
IT STRIKES US as rather strange that every section of the Constitution can be enforced, and is enforced, except those Amendments touching the right's of our people. The decision of Chief Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case, holding that no Negro had any right which a white man was bound to respect seems to have become the settled law of this land. Every case affecting us under the "Jim Crow" laws passed by southern legislatures which has found its way to the court of last resort, the Supreme Court of the United States, has invariably been decided against us.
TRUE, A FEW MEN, like the late lamented Judge Harlan of Kentucky, consistently rendered a dissenting opinion, yet the fact remains that this court has steadfastly maintained a hostile attitude toward us. The thinking element of our people are unable to understand this discrimination and consequently view any new legislation upon this subject with suspicion.
FREDERICK DOUGLAS, the great tribune of our people and one of the ablest orators that America produced, was wont to say that all the Negro asked was that the American people live up to their Constitution and their laws. That is all that we ask today, and however well meaning some of our political friends may be we shall be satisfied if, following the injunction of Douglas, they will comply with this demand. We are no longer a child race and the efforts of politicians to deceive us will be futile.
HOUSE BILL Number 15338 is not needed unless it can be so amended as to enforce existing legislation. We repeat that we do not need any new legislation on the subject. We do need, however, a rigid enforcement of the supreme law of this country, namely, the Constitution of the United States. In short, we are no longer in a mood to tolerate legislative jokes. This country has upon many occasions used its great navy and its army to enforce the rights of some meddling American in other parts of the world, yet it has been unable to protect its citizens at home if those citizens happen to be of our Race.
WHEN A FEW ITALIANS charged with the murder of the chief of police of New Orleans were lynched we paid to their families an indemnity of $800,000, and the power of the Federal Government was used to its utmost to bring the lynchers to justice. If the strong arm of the Federal Government is potent enough to protect aliens and their families, why in the name of heaven can it not protect its own black citizens? Until this question can be answered we shall continue to regard any new bill touching our rights in this land as a political joke. Our people are beginning to look askance at a government that continually exacts of us the supreme sacrifice that a citizen can give while denying to us all of those fundamental rights that are due in return. And this applies to this administration and all others that have preceded it since the days of reconstruction.
BOUGHT AND PAID FOR
AMERICANS have any conception of the meaning of American history. One is often superseded by the meaning of well meaning white people are disposed in America. We are in fact the only eleven without an invitation. To speak true to the ground, we as and we as dates between three centuries and our birth stronger, than that of the Pilgrims who we antecedent them by at least a year. THE POPULATION has played so large a role in our group that we have given to the country much of it of our folk songs and have added much of it of our strange as it may seem our own people played by them in the history making epoch of no field offering more interesting and with our long residence in America.

HOW FEW AMERICANS have any conception of the part played by our people in the making of American history. One is often surprised at the sheer magnitude by both black and white relative to this all important question. Many may be surprised by the fact that we are mere interpliers in American. We are in fact the only element of our population that came here without an invitation. To speak truthfully, we declined to extend to us and were brought here against our will. Our residence here dates to the 18th century, a branch of Americanism is as strong, if not stronger, than that of the Pilgrims and Mayflower, because we antagonize them by at least a year. WE POPULATION has played so outstanding a part, nor has any racial group imitated it, as has our people. We have given to the country much of its romance, its native music, growing out of our folk songs and have added much to the traditions of Strange as it may seem our own people have little conception of the part played by them in the history making epoch from 1619 to the present. KNOW of no field offering more interesting and instructive study than that dealing with living residence in America. Many long standing delusions may be removed by the Civil War and the period of reconstruction. Most of the information that came here period has come from sources that had an ax to grind. The real facts have no period or less hidden. Were they known to us our view of American political conditions?
HOW MANY OF US know that the Emancipation Proclamation of Mr. Lincoln was a mere- threat to compel the South to lay down its arms? How many of us know that the Proclamation was held in abeyance ninety days in the past, and that time to comply with the demands of the national government for surrender is indeed, and any one making such an assertion is generally looked upon as a betrayal, and Necessity played no little part in our history. It freed us, it compelled the nation to enlist us as soldiers and this, too, in the teeth of the strongest opposition.
THE NORTH opposed our emancipation because it meant the releasing of thousands of white-bodied slaves whose labor would come into competition with free white labor. The South sought to hold on to competition with white labor was necessary to the life of that section of the country. So far as the public sentiment of the nation was concerned both sections were agreed that we should today in a more or less modified form. It finds expression in the passage of separatist legislation in one section of the country which is either approved or quietly abolished in by the other section.
EVER AMONG our legislators in the halls of congress there seems to be a frequent gallery play in the form of some sectional measure. Senator Foraker, a frequent friend of our people, strange as it may seem was, it is said, a bosom palate of most outspoken enemy the first public concerning us, they no doubt is in accord with their private

typical of the attitude of northern and southern statesmen these gentlemen was WE ALONE were deceived by this play at opera bouffe. Milton gave in his immortal poem, *Virtuoso Lost*, Long is the way and hard that out of darkness we find ourselves. We are in the way and the way of the journey. But we want to warn friend and foe that we are awake. It will be a difficult matter in the future to keep us wedded to the fetishes of the past. We must be careful not to over measure of right that has come to us we have won with two centuries and a half of unrequited toil. Our freedom came to us as a military necessity, and the ballot was put into our hands for much the same reason as the gun.
WE SHALL BE DISPOSED in the future to play an independent part in the politics of the country, and politicians may find us in the market for the best guns, and politicians will sit us citizen under the laws, and no longer the pumps of any party seeking to take over by an empty sanctioned pressure for forty years we have been a followed track with no lessening of the pressure from above. The lyncher still rides upon his nightly rails. The mob still holds sway in the North as well as the South, the "Jim Crow" car still ambles. What's the difference whether they are standing or sittin', they reach the dring line about the same time.

THE PRIMARY RESULT
FIERCE WAS THE FIGHT and bitter waged by candidates and their supporters for public offices right up to Primary day. The Democratic party had comparatively easy sailing, but on the Republican side every office had two or more aspirants in the field. With the entire Chicago press against him, Hale Thompson polled a comfortable majority and assured him another term as mayor of America's second largest city. And let it be said to the credit that he they save Mr. Thompson $5,000 more than any other ward, a tangible way of showing appreciation for a friend. IN THE MATTER OF SELECTING a candidate, Mr. Thompson is so much in the lighthearted regard of the advice advanced by the Municipal Voters League to support Mr. the votes, by a majority of several hundred, the encouragement for Louis B. Anderson and again showed the confidence and high esteem in which he is held. The wise citizen realizes that in factional fights many of the candidates before election, that are not complimentary or truthful. One doesn't have to look far to find a fault in anybody.

would be received by the needy public and the surprise, this department has been flooded with let-off requests and parts of the country asking for information along with all areas of pregnancy and the care of the prospective mother. Welcome letters from New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, California, Texas, New Mexico and one from over the sea—all want information. Among the items upon which to know the pregnant state?
Cessation of Menses
When a married woman heretofore has been regular in her menstruation occurring over 35 days (she being female) and in the absence of any other known or reasonable suspected cause, such as biopsies and low status of body she is not usually consulted. She will also note a tingling in the breast and an enlargement of the same uterus especially on the right side of the uterus or arising in the morning. With the above symptoms it is the part of wisdom for you to consult a doctor. These are only presumably dark, alarming.
Another lady wishes to know, "How to find the date of birth." The date of birth can only be determined approx. from one week to ten or fifteen days; but, if your condition is normal and the condition of the child is healthy, you can determine by your physician there is a danger. To know the date of birth it is customary to count back three months from the date of your last menstruation. For instance, your last menstruation for June 25, 1918, count back three months
and add seven days—that would give
the probability of birth, about, as
the probable date of birth.
Mrs. A. C. wants to know "What to do for sickness of stomach."
Morning sickness is a very difficult matter but can only make suggestive recommendations applicable to the average case. These remedies, a simple suggestive remedies; the physician's advice; or the case is the best judge as to what to do. The following remedies have often been used as teaspoonful of pepper mint in hot or cold water. Tincture iodine in cold water or milk, i teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda glass of cold water. In some cases, you may also like relish ice or sugar or cream. Ginger ale, lemon or orange juice is good and the eating of a plain soda cracker is very helpful. A cold drink is very effacious in settling the stomach.
"Should a pregnant woman drink cold water?" Most emphatically, yes. You should drink plenty of cold water, from 4 to 8 ounces daily. As previously mentioned, this water tends to flush out the kidneys, and will often prevent serious kidney complications.
"What to do for shortness of breath?" While we would like to annotate the questions put to us on this subject from the book, we must subject of pregnancy is too serious to be answered in a general way, and we must in most instances instruct our patients to be due to disease of the heart. If so, we can expect along lines of general nature. Now as to what shall be done for shortness of breath—we must first be aware of the worry and freeting. This shortness of breath should be due to disease of the kidney, acute Bright's disease or the kidney of pregnancy. You should get plenty of rest, warm baths, keep your howels freely dry, and fast rules applicable to every woman in your treatment to find it a good thing to sleep with your head well elevated propped up with bowels—this will give you much relief for your shortness of breath. Try to avoid overloading your stomach, it will help your shortness of breath.
"How should the pregnant mother sleep?"
The simple answer is to sleep in the manner that is most comfortable to the child, rest best on back, others lie on right side on back, others lie on left side on back, fortably on left side on account of crowding of the heart. Would advise that you do not lift your arms above your head, but rather than shoulders after third month. It has been found that straining of muscles in these movements has caused pain and death of the mother as well as the neck of child and choke it to death and has resulted in blood poisoning and death of the mother as well as the coughs, colds and sore throats or weak threats are inherited or contracted directly from the mother, but we do not recommend constitutional disease is very likely to affect the child, and should be avoided as much as possible. And, in any case, you should consult a respiratory tract, your should consult a sician, for the reason that a healthy, sound constitution in the parents speak
"Through a Slaughter House to an Open Grave"
Worried Over Tom Dixon's "THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS"
A Gentleman of Culture WRITES MR. SWEENEY.
354 Tennessee Ave.
Detroit, Mich.
Feb. 7, 1919.
Hon. Allison W. Sweeney,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir,
I want to apologize for intruding on your valuable time with this letter, but as an admirer of your brilliant articles in the Defender, asking your advice on several questions I have just finished reading Tom Dixon's "The Leopard's Spots," and perhaps I am feeling a little result of this story based on several facts? Were any acts in any of the Southern states during the reconstruction period to justify the picture the drawn events in North America in 1867?
ha and created their INFERIOR to THE WHITE MAN! HAD from all BEFORE their best efforts to mark and blow into their brow BADGE OF INFERIORITY; creation charged in their blood, their bones and which NOTHING composition, from NOTHING noble and not altered; NOTHING creative; NOTHING pure and chaste.
In the face of these things FACTS! Beyond denial, Mr. Wisden inquiries are but slightly removed from shocks, for the reason that his letter proper; viewed in its entirety be fair and person of thoughtfulness and reflection and would seem, upon an intelligent knowledge of the history of his race:
I have heard that Mr. Carl Schurz in his speech on "General Amnesty" commended our fathers immediately after the war, Mr. Schurz, putes to them acts of revenge and brutality. Has he any evidence for such imputations? Can you give good history of the Reconstruction? The author triumphs over the disfranchisement of the Race in Carolina. Do you think he will see it day after day of this triumph, with disfranchisement in every state completely destroyed, "Jim Crow" and all segregation, this nation guarantee and give every man equal rights and justice?
Trusting to have your answer in the Defender, and again apologizing for this, you must respectfully your H. D. WISDOM.
Surely a communication entitled to appreciation; that is to say, having faith in the evident sincerity of the writer, even while we muse:
"CAN such things be and overcome us like a summer's cloud WITHOUT our special wonder?"
IS IT POSSIBLE the age of sweet guillelessness; of subhine no moisture has not passed? STILL abideth with us?

White Man From Memphis
Sends Lot of Bunk to
Memphis Paper
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 25—There appeared in a recent issue of a local newspaper a purporting to come from "Memphis." In it, a woman and a woman to stand in street cars, and makes mention of other things to show him in the North. Then he spreads him around in which some white people in Chicago seem to recognize members of the Race equal but separate and out a howl because he clerked in a shoe store fitting a "high boot" shoes. He then proceeds to put himself in the street.
"My laudress sent the clothes home by her son. He knocked on our door and told to enter I beheld a six-four. New in soldier's uniform. "My "I am adult, Jackson. he said, "but I am not your name." Well, it didn't take long for me to let "Lieut. Jackson" was from the "corrib bread side of the M1A1 line," and he seemed glued. The cup he had touched was removed, and he told me he told me about his people, his wife, "Mr., and "Mir." up here, but when they wanted real friends they went their "own southern white folks."
Can you beat this kind of bunk? It is dollars to doughnuts that at least the quoted part of the letter is just plain lie. Of what the writer saw on a recent visit to Chicago of the members of the Race who wore the uniform, and especially the sort who might have risen from the ranks to a lieutenant, they are not of the type that "curry clothes" for the lynch-billies of the South or the white folks of any other section, including their own dear "Chih," Again, there isn't a hotel in Chicago where a man of any sort would be allowed to rap on a door and announce the arrival of the weekly wash, unless it be some tramp joint where there is no system or one of the houses of usage in the city. Our people, North and South, know who their real friends are: common sense should show that if a person wanted to hear music he would rather listen to the strains of a graphophore than the melody of a den of rattlesnakes. We would like to see this "Lieut. Jackson," if he is still in the flesh. If he is a reality he certainly is an exception, and not part of any recognized rule. I use is remar, ble how some of r

But, Mr. Wisdom, after reading "The Leopard's Spot," finds himself "amphithetic"; cast down; gloomy of spirit, spiritual? And WHY? Over WHAT?
---
. . . .
I am not given to slang, and the "cuss" words I use and make no apology, or are prompted by a devotion of my own, nor has THENER soft words; NOR grills or fears, at NO time, NO place; nor man, nor men, those generations of heroes and IN or living, who for three hundred years of GOD'S RISING SUNS, have been OF BACK FOLK, but if for a son suggested—and I can conceive of no other, Mr. Wisdom found himself pessimistic of the sorts the condescension, TOM DION, he him; zig-zagging through his brain realm, to the banishing of his serenity, here goes—"can YOU BEAT IT?"
MIGHT have been guilty! If not, WHY not? Is he not HUMAN? If he not FEELINGS? MEM-ORIES.
Has he not had sorrows; measured by centuries, that have warped, shriveled, ENENED his soul? WRONGS he ENENED a force in the blood of age, and make the infant's sinnews strong as STEEL."
Had the author of "The Leopard's Spots" evidence—proof of the charges he made against the Negro? THAT I should tell you I DO. For five bloody years of fratricidal strife—Red days when brothers warred—He fed the babe, Sweat the bather, Guarded the doorstill. Of a million southern homes.
The remaining questions submitted by W. Wisdom, rolled down, amount to this: The GENIUS of America as represented in her conscience, her impulses, her great throbbing heart; her legislations and laws, and overshadowing all else. MORE REAL, to DO; knowing NO section NO race; leaning neither to the South, nor to the North, to the West, nor yet to the East; knowing neither White her citizens, but those better not distinctions; exalted MANHOOD; exalted WOMANHOOD, when square and unmeasured JUSTICE will be achieved the Negro? WHAT? THAT day? I can believe NOTHING ELSE!
In my mind's eye I see a NEW AMERICA; purged through suffering BLOOD. The blood of BLACK AND FIRE WHITE SHAMED and humiliated through a contemplation of her CRIMES; her sins of omission and commission; her hatiness and her LIES and makehifts; her desertion of the HUMANITIES in the race for gold, in which the things that disgraced her will be left behind, those that will glorify her brought to the front.
Either THIS, or like all nations that have sinned, CONTINUES TO HAVE DESTRUCTION by the beasts for DESTRUCTION; blind as a bat, she is rushing to an ACCOUNTING, and in the end, regardless of the years that the wheel; will "MARCH THROUGH A SLAUGHTER HOUSE TO OPEN GRAVE."
