It suddenly burst into flame, was smothered, and is now smouldering across. It is the same age-old story: Prudence, elegance and unfair dealings. It was used to fan the flames into what threatened to be a seething cauldron—but it didn't because doing the fanning were afraid of getting their fingers burned. As the fire rose, the face boy of unassailable character and a reputation in the school as elsewhere for integrity and manliness, has been sent away from Englewood high school and students are still wondering what it is all about. As the story goes, Ellis Reid, a 2A student at this institution and a member of the J. J. C.

After supper on Thursday, Dec. 13, Mrs. Chambers left Edwards and his sister, Kate, alone in their lodging room house at 79 West 134th St. while she did her Christmas shopping.

In panoramic view of her life swept before her eyes. She saw herself a wife at the age of 15 years, a year late a baby came, a little girl cared without a father's presence, a penitent when the child was a year old. Six years ago, she gave her love to another man, which culminated in marriage five years later. The age of 28 years she finds herself staring blankly into the future, for a jury in the Criminal court of Judge Frederic R. De Young has just sentenced her to 14 years in prison for the murder of 18-year-old girl, accusing her of homicide. As the condemning court was being led from the museum to the 12-year-old, she was taken home, without your permission, as is to snatch her from the museum room then fell senseless to the floor. Mrs. Stella B. Rouse, 1909 Coventry, testified in her defense that he had taken Ophelia into her home, and that Ophelia had stolen her husband's on Wednesday, Dec. 5. The instructions given him by his superior officers were to allow no one to pass him in, and to allow no one to his statement. Her girl came to his door during the performance and demanded admittance. When told that she could not pass the young lady started through, but was halled by the custodian, held him across the entrance, the girl touched him, but seen her way blocked indignantly retraced her steps. Life Threatened A few minutes later six white students came on the post and muttered threats at him and informed him that he had insulted a white girl, the penalty for which, according to them, would be death. He escaped them into the cloak room and then making his getaway vla, the back door. The new bride Reid was summoned into the office by principal, J. E. Armstrong.

She had seen alight from the car in company with Ophelia, bid her an affectionate farewell and start towards his place of employment. Stella, according to her own admission, had a knife. She claimed that she stabbed in self defense. Two men who were watching the women told a far different story. W. L. Doyle, 1821 Warren Ave., stated that he was standing in front of his place of business at the house where she and Mrs. Rose stab her victim twice in the neck. then chase her into a road areaway at Horsham and Emma Hill, where she planned to kill the man.

Coolidge Helps Following the argument of Roscoe Simmons before the full committee of the Senate, Howard was advised that something had to be done to satisfy Colored Republicans in the free states, who were determined to vindicate the oppressors in Republican cities in the South.

For an hour the old veteran stood before the commit- tory and asked him to face in his hands. Once he was about to conclude, but Chairman Adams indicated that the committee would be the cause or his Race along with the case of his colleagues. White ladies joined in the cheering, often rising to their feet, while the committee was in constant applause. When Simmons saw the crowd, he smiled and it was apparent that the case was won at least in the hearts of his hearers. Dr. Cannon in brave language then advised the committee that the North stood behind every word that had been said, and that he would show it the next election would show it, unless justice was mine. But this point the committee got. Oh it fits, judges themselves, being the nation's Arkansas governor, inassioned plan for Colored Republicans. "Henceforward I will stand with them," he thundered.

DIED WITH BOOTS ON FIGHTING BIG CRACKER "ARMY" Joe Pullen Faces Machine Gun in Mississippi and Shoots to Kill Clarksdale, Miss., Dec. 21.—This section of the state has added another disgraceful chapter to its already long story of crime against members of the Race, but it is one which carries a lesson to a class of "whites" who have from time immemorial browneboot and robbed the blacks; while the blood-sucked Mississippi a place of profit and case in which to live. Demands Money W. T. Sanders, who owns a small plantation near Drew, a small town a short distance from this place, and the Race who worked a part of the Sanders place on shores, owed him $50. This Pullen denied and in so doing he aroused the anger of Sanders, who upon a friend, J. D. Manning, for assistance and together, armed with pistols, they went to a cabin which they had seen Pullen enter. The latter was at by Sanders. He returned the fire and in the shooting which followed both white men were killed. The sound of the firing drew a crowd of men, and Sanders was nothing left for him to do but sell his life as clearly as possible, secured an additional revolver, a shotgun and several hundred rounds of ammunition and retreated to a shallow swamp. Hunt Pullem In a short space of time a crowd of over 1,000 armed white men had surrounded Pullen's place of concealment, from which he continued to attack them, which found its mark among the gang of would-be lynchers. In all, he wounded over a score, killing five outright, and many of the others so will no doubt mount to 10 or 12. Reinforcements were called for and soon a machine gun was brought into play. This group was led by a man named the latter being one of those killed by Pullen. Over 400 rounds were fired by this pose before Pullen was finally disabled. His body was dragged through the streets of Drew left feet in the middle of the main thoroughfare. The Cause This bloody incident is just another brought about by the system of robbery practiced by the so-called robbers, who are for the purposes rob the members of the Race who work their pieces on shares through a system of peonage. They have been supplied with supplies needed from time to time; they underweight and cheat on the weights and measures of the products resulting from their labor. The lack of supplies until life is unbearable and they realize that their victims know that the laws down here are for whites only, and that the robbery is an incident at Drew should be as much of a lesson to this class of robbing whites as to members of the Race who work their pieces on shares which allow practices to exist which lead to such results.

SOUTHERNERS IN WILD GRAB FOR SOUTH AMERICA Countless hundreds of white men are going to Brazil and other South American countries from this country to the future for fortune and fame just as in earlier days they saw it in the Southern states of our own continent. It ought to be self-evident that if these people can see fortune and success ahead of them in a strange way, they ought to help our people to the same thing and step in ahead of the Southern white to take their share. That is the only part of the world where color is no barrier. This is what gives a man a chance to take out of the natural resources, as yet unexplored, more than he has to put into action.

Hits Lynching The statement issued congratulates Kentucky on its recent freedom from bynchings, condemns the injection of pornography, demands a single standard of morals that will protect the integrity of the race, declares for the protection of the life of children all alike and for fair division of school advantages and other public resources in every community an intercultural group of women be formed for mutual understanding and co-operation, and for the welfare of women and children. Following are some of the more striking paragraphs: We are our helplof in the righteousness of a single standard of social morality for both sexes and both races. We plead for the protection of the womanhood and urge that the integrity of the Negro home shall be held inviolate by the men of both Demand Justice "We hold that no circumstances can prevent women and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence. We deplore the fact that such violence has only increased in the past. We believe that in non-Christian countries our Christian civilization is discredited. It is thankful for our honour and our bravery, the fact that it has been upheld, we pledge ourselves to support our offenders in every effort to enforce this." "We believe it to be our imperative to protect girls especially among the young people home and in school, such attitudes of good will and mutual helpfulness that we have established to a continent and strife shall yield to a cosmos faith in our common humanity." Similar groups of women have been involved in co-operation with state interracial committees and with the various denomination and clergy in interest of better race adjustment.

Your husband straying into the forbidden path, but when either one or both of them are in danger of a tragedy. The day of atonement will surely come, and when it does your husband will remain with your husband if he is abusive, for no reason only for disfavor. You must try to see the good in him as well as the evil in him, and be vigilant. Could it be possible that he is irritable because you provoke him to behave in a like manner, and must be dealt with in a like manner. Set an example to the same with a man, if he is a real man. I feel sure that if you show a loving kindness, he will have no reason to mistreat you. You have never lived your life with your husband. But than your husband is. All that glitters is not gold.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "THE ROSARY" "THE ROSARY" Great Modern Drama Comes to Grand on Monday One of the very best horsemen on the screen is J. B. Warner, who is the star of "Flaming Hearts" at the States on Sunday. Some four years ago his reputation as a horseman got him a position in the Army. He was a rider for Phil Rosen, now with the Lasky company. Warner felt that if he made good he would be used for some interesting work, but he was about a tenderfoot who comes West to visit on a big cattle ranch. The ranchman's daughter falls in love with him. Warner was the wife, who, of course, is the villain, is in love with the girl, so he starts in to make life miserable for the tenderfoot. He rides the big gray called "The Killer" on account of his meanness. Many a horse of this type has been known as the "gray rider" to him to death. Warner played the tenderfoot. His instructions were to "pull leather" in the approved tenon to grasp the saddle horn to grasp the saddle horn and try to hang on. There was no bit in the horse's mouth. Nothing but a hacking sound came from his head. Warner forgot directions as soon as the horse was turned loose. He rode the horse masterfully and the horse entirely too well for a tenderfoot the story was rewritten in order that the footage of the remarkable riding could be retained. This experience several riding positions for Warner. LETTERS Auburn, N.J. Dear Tony: You haven't heard from me in a long time. I am with Sonny Thompson's Entertainment with his Wheel attraction.

Miss Mamie Smith and her big jazz oratorio New York City engagement, will begin a week's engagement at the Avenue on Monday next. Miss Smith hardly needs an introduction to the music of the musical revue, a household word with every lover of good muscle here.

One may go some time without discovering better romance, comedy and wholesome humor, but it is six fast reels. It is quite a departure from anything Leah Baird has previously done and places her on the screen of the comedy favorites of the screen. --- Here is a thrilling comedy romance developed with many delicious surprises. Louis Joseph Vance, and can be said to please the most exacting audience. Drill a secret marriage, the story tells of a romantic girl who mysteriously is sociable and is boosted to stardom on the stage by a shewed theatrical manager under the enticing name of city is effectively concealed even from the college boy who went through the wild ceremony, and is accompanied with the famous actress. Miss Baird in her role as the dancer has many lovers at her side. She becomes the victim of desperate plots, but the right man—a fighter and love makes it easy for her to follow her through every peril.

For *North Air* part of the show, "a thing of antics, shuffles and songs" is colored variety go this one is quite simple and downright affairs that troops can put over because of their hand and their singleness of purpose, seemingly makes them beside themselves that sets the feet a moving and ment that sets the feet a moving and appetitive for more applause. Probably continue their exertions until they realize the music was sufficiently stimulating. The company presenting "North Air" saveli-die spirit as the rest of the Coles' troupes. It has a great deal more energy than white cast. Most of its members wear white cast. Most of its members rhythmically. And, what does it do? it make it only the comedians who understand their meaning come up. If they understand their meaning come up, the audiences that attend such a performance are not interested in the elocation, are not interested in the singing and especially the zealous dancing. In fact, we think that the story in *The Hunger Games* is so much to say and does not allow us to express our enough to do. We mean especially the thick thickens so much that it thickens to cloud up and rain all over the land and the performers are represented back home in Georgia, "going it" not to wear a hole in the Victory stage.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER A Musical Comedy in Two Acts and Ten Scenes, Eighteen Numbers—Book by Irving Miller, Lyrics and Music by Tim Brymn A Musical Comedy in Two Acts and Ten Scenes, Eighteen Numbers—Book by Irving Miller, Lyrics and Music by Tim Brymn "Dinah" is a pleasing evening's entertainment by an agile and fast group of Colored musical comedy artists. "Dinah" is the new sister of "Liza," that spent about eight months between the 63rd St. theater and the Nora Bayes, after which it went on the road or a brief tour in New York. The family resemblance between the two shows is very evident in the bits that make up the alleged book, and songs, tuneful though they be, are but the tunes made familiar in the other show with some slight alterations in the title number. In the title number, and "Sanbo" is quite like the "Harry" number made famous in "Shuffle Along." The sure-fire things that have been features in all the previous Colored musical comedies. A line spoken by the sure-fire character scribes it. He says anent a dance hall project, that "too much attention has been paid to the feet and not enough to the head." That tells us of the fact that But you have to hand it to Irving Miller. He can assemble good-looking dance shoes and dance in most vibrant fashion. The show has a very "peepy" and fast chorus, and they are most tastefully costumed, not elaborately but pleasantly. The show is nicely equipped with scenery, three of the four full-stage Billy Mills and Doe Doe Green provide a lot of hearty laughs, and Miller is the most fun of fun. Mills is his mainstay in this, and he and Green are both sure-fire comics. Carpes, Lloyd Mitchell and a team of neat little girls. Florence Brown and Aurora Greely, contribute some unusually clever dance stuff.

"SHUFFLE ALONG" SCORES BIG AT THE MARYLAND George Wintz's Colored Comedy Jazz Show and Orchestra Take Lead of Its Kind Cumberland m.D.-George Wintz's new show, "Shuffle Along," which began two days' engagement at the Maryland theater last night before a large audience. The show, beginning to end and proved the top notcher of its kind in every respect, says a writer in The Times. The entertainment moved along at regular Zev speed and kept the audience, an unmaintained, proud laughter, as well as peculiar to the Colored Race. George Wintz, who is popular in this city, like his charming audience, has dedicated his already wide range of quality and quantity of diversion in his "Shuffle Along" with his eleven performers. In addition to the round after concert show, the concert also specializes in show carries *Colored orchestra and pianist* that are well worth the price of admission, and ways stresses—that of giving his patrons more than their money's worth. The title of humor in his make-up will surely have it amplified if he sees George Pinker here at the Maryland tonight. Colored shows take well here, but George Pinker here at the flavor of the mass critical at the performance last night.

If you feel it in your heart, it is enough. The rest of the world will hear it. And be a little happier, perhaps. I hope so. All of us who do things for other people, even though we are paid in money for doing it, feel the pleasant glow of unspoken but unmistakable approval of those who keep on buying what we have to sell, reading what we write, or seeing us over and over again. I, personally, am very grateful for that. It is a beautiful note in the sometimes dull monotony of living. Hearts sometimes sing, although lips be mute. The scrawl of the pen carries our personal message to countless thousands whom, if the opportunity could present itself, we would like to meet in person. So, please believe—in spite of the fact that I have wished you the same each year—my sincerity of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Y., Dec. 11—Wilhelm Cohan,甘安weight-hoker of Harlem, graduated from the University of Bombay by Cannonball Eddie Martin (white) at the Ridgewood Grove Sporting club.

CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS FOR 1923 ORT K YOUNG py New Year SKULL SCHOOL TO OPEN FOR RUBE'S PLAYERS JAN. 2 The American Giants' skull school will open Jan. 4, at which time the players' who will make the team the coming season will be taught the different technicalities of the playing rules and the inside points of play. The pitchers will be given the most attention as in that department the Giants were weak last season. Foster and the team will continue league championship in 1824 and to give Chicago a club second to none in the country. The pitching staff is to be selected from the team, Strong, Stephen Tom Williams, Dicto University, Padrone' Branahan, Harney, Treadwell and Willie Foster. From this array of talent Rube expects to develop the playing stuff in the history of the game. The presidency of the league has taken up so much of the big fellow's because the Giants have suffered because he has his personal attention to them. The club plays best when under his personal supervision and they are so good that play that they seem lost when he is not around. One can tell from the matchless team play of the Giants, that it is not surpassed by any team in organization, for 400 better than any other Colored club when they didn't even have the advantage of Foster's directing, that is, great work done in the past two years without Foster even attending practice or workouts, the fans marvel. This year he will take his club south, where the different players and seek to remedy the same, again familiarize them in team play and when they reside in the city that he can present to the fans of the city the greatest club in history.

Morehouse having previously defeated Tuskegee 6 to 0. The feature of the football year in the northern conference was the 13 victory over Virginia Union and Atlanta university which was played in Atlanta. The final score was 0 to 6, but it is doubtful that the conference will have a victory this section has there has been a game more bitterly contested. While football in several of the institutions in this section was of high quality and standard, Clark university showed poorly, as did Alabama State Normal. The Florida State college team was a superior team. Sussex played under a new coach, proved to be one of the most formidable elems in the South and one of the most successful ones of Sussex institute—a team that played Atlanta university, the champions of last year, to a 7 to 7 tie and forced Morehouse to leave. Sussex also defeated the South Carolina State college, the champions of the Southeastern conference, 13 to 6. Atlanta university got away in fine shape and appeared to have a good chance at the championship, but was Morris Brown uninterested in giving day by day. Morris Brown started slow, but closed the season in winter fashion. Talladega was a keen disappointment to its followers, losing to Morehead, however, is undergoing a building process under a new coach and a new team. Morehead had one of the best teams in the South and covered itself with glory by holding the big Howe to a 10 to 0 score in Washington. The All-Southern Teams In most cases players picked for positions on the All-Southern team, are placed in the positions above any other rivals, don the positions, and again the rivalry was so seen that in some instances it would not apply to which player should be selected. Gayle of Morehouse was easily the class of the ends in the South, being fast, deadly on tackling and a wonderful diagnostician of plays. Clay of Talladega and Tuskegee, likewise has everything which an end needs. Carter and Duncan of Talladega and Tuskegee, respectively, unite to best the best. Kitchen of Tuskegee and Long Fisk were beyond doubt the best tackles of the year, both being big, fast and dependable and exceeding house and Danbyz of Tuskegee, both veteran tackles, were the runners-up for these positions. Ingfield of Morris Brown and Relief of Morris Brown are stars of the first magnitude, being steady pluggers, always alert and playing a slashing game. Cook of Morehouse and Walker of Fisk were best, both being excellent linesmen. Tadlock of Tuskegee at center was selected because of his all-around excellence on offense and defense. Harden of Tuskegee was a feature of the season and on defense he was a powerful and fast man. Leak of Atlanta university line, but did not play up to 1923 form. Boss stood out as the best quarterback of the season. He used clever headwork in directing his team and the defense, including a ball. Lang of Atlanta university got the call for the second team quarterback; he distanced the other field generals but could not hold the pace of the defense. Johnson of Fisk was named for one halfback and Stevenson of Tuskegee for the other. This combination represents one of rare ability in a defensive position. He can throw passes accurately and in the running game he is one of the most dangerous men in the game. Stevenson was the outstanding star in the game, and he was a star placement kicker, a brilliant punter and one of the fastest and most elusive backs in the game. Bailey of Tuskegee and Godwin of Fisk are placed at halves on the second team. Both have speed, are versatile and have great line hiting ability. Bailey is also a good punter and an adept at receiving forward passes. Jordan, a hard plunging back and a power on the defense, rounds out the team with one of the hardest men to stop in the South, possessing ability and finesse. Kelly of Morehouse was placed at fullback on the second half, and was a big, fine, hard, good nuded player who had to sacrifice and play quarterback after Hutt, the regular starter. Others players worthy of mention are-Ends: Starr, Morehouse; Gilbo, Tuskegee, and Cooley, Alabama State Normal; Tackles: Lamar, Atar, and Spencer, Talladega; Guards: Meadows, Morris Brown, and Robinson, Tuskegee. Centers: Williams, Morehouse; Perry, Fisk, and Jefferson, Tuskegee; Morris Brown; Groves, Talladega, and Smith, Tuskegee; Hallbacks: B.

A., Champion White Team of New Jersey AT ORANGE ARMORY, ORANGE, NEW JERSEY FRIDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 28 Added Attraction: Dancer, Music by Maren Smith's Famous Orchestra ADMISSION 75 CENTS PAGE TEN—PART ONE Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 21. — I was painfully astonished upon reading in the Philadelphia newspapers of Dec. 10 an announcement purported to have come from William H. Rocap, chairman of the Pennsylvania state athletic commission, to the effect that he was the first to take part in the meeting. Pennsylvania. I had not heard that Harvey J. Boyle of Pittsburgh had taken this recently to tour part in the meeting. This momentous question was taken up and decided. I am sure I did not attend any such decision, and I am equally sure that I shall vehemently oppose any chair chamber meetings in the state to render such decisions. I say this not with the slightest feeling of offense or animosity for the decision, quite a fine fellow generally, but in this instance he has overstepped his authority. Since he did not consult me before issuing his statement there is no other man, just and loyal course to the public. I know my sister at the state I do remember that on the Saturday morning I lecture me, his fellow commissioner, for allowing a mixed bout club because he, the club because he, the said, he had provided Director Corleyau that there would be no such bouts in Philadelphia, and that director's administration. The administration, he said, is. afraid of the races between the races. I told him then that when I arrived at the National Association which neither Robert A. Young, secretary of the commission, nor Thomas Wallace Swann, whom I knew, was attending, I take the responsibility of deciding, and they were glad when I came in to look in there only a few minutes and then go to the Cambria club in show the same night. I told Mr. Roacan during his at-tribunal hearing that he was the previous that since the law which created the state Athletic commission race or color, I would stricterly oppose it. I said that the commission should if the legislature had intended to prosecute at least an imminent violation of the act, and it is a violation of the public safety of Philadelphia, prohibit discrimination. I told him, too, that had made some investigation of the public safety of Philadelphia, prohibit discrimination been informed by many of the developed political safety or authority promoted by political philosophy or authority. The oath of office which we commissio- Governor Pinchot requires us to uphold and strictly enforce the laws of the United States and does not give any妄 thing into them or maladministern them, and so long as I am in office I intend anything to do are strictly, justly and whose or is being gored or who is do- ning the goring. Furthermore, Mr. does not know that any promoter of oxing and revolt in a restraining order or injunction by the tribunal against referring with his rights under his license to promote boxing houses and revolt in a restraining order for the prohibition. In accordance with Philadelphia prohibiting boxing bouts and I have good assurance that there will not goom- Boop.

It is a violation of the boxing laws to admit persons under 18 to wrestling matches or exhibitions, and to wrestling matches or exhibitions, and had a number of such children whom I saw there sent out, but at the Arena we needed me. I saw such children under age present and called the attention of that it was a violation of the act and that it was a violation of the act and should be warned to stop it. However, I do not see any mention of it in our source when engaged in the performance it distinctly understood that I shall not be for the absolute, just, fair enforcement of the laws I have sworn to administer to the big promoter or the little boxer. As to the Jack Johnson license he gave for Jack on principle that he had paid the penalty or that he was guilty of doing that time, and was as much entitled to others we have licensed. I studied his case closely when it was before the judge. Jack's case if I wished, but would have said nothing had our chairman not done.

BIG LEAGUE STORIES By BILLY DONALDSON Negro National League Umpire DETROIT STARS After trying half a dozen or more men at three hats, he plumped up his arm and a long-lasting youngster. Though very small in stature that boy was grabbing at the hot station and made a wonderful impression with his owner and manager. He was a very smart base runner. Now we come to the outfielders. Stearns was chasing everything spectacular catches. He was a slugger and hit the ball to all corners of the field, also possessed a good throwing arm. Smith played left field and was a car driver on his hikes of hits day after. He hit well throughout the season. Watson was in right field and a very clever batter and cut many long hits down to singles, throwing the runners out. His hitting was timely throughout the season. Force, the ace of the pitching team, and was a linx to all visitors. Beside his masterful pitcher he was called many a time to fill the pitcher's shirt and was a linx to all offens. Coomb, a right hander, was another good pitcher and turned in a very good pitching average for his team. Alexander, the fast ball artist, did not have as successful a season as he could have a good pitcher, for he could not get his stride this season. Alexander, for he could not get his stride this season, was not at his best this season and could not give the team his best, though he turned in many wins. Boges, the pitcher who made all like nathans, showed Manager Petway much promise as a pitcher, and catcher like Petway, he should be a sensation next season. Manager Petway with a two-man pitching staff, a few guides behind the champion Monarchs, and not until the final game of the season, a few Monarchs declared winners. Detroit fans should feel very proud of Owner Blunt and Manning club. With good pitching next season Detroit should be a strong contender for first place, throughout the season, and show their appreciation by turning out in larger numbers. Stearns is seabased out here. In last Sunday's game he hit two home runs and a single and made one save on the coast and is taking wonderful care of his shortest position.

The team's defense, with the threes and the shooters were brought up, persevered great difficulty in solving the defensive system of the Lions, and parlayed the offense with the Bolles and Day, who were the individual stars of the game.

The Lions meet the Harrisburg Scholars at Harrisburg next Friday SIKI THROWS ANDERSON IN ELEVEN MINUTES Reginald Sikl, the wrestling Senegalese, again showed his prowess and man to be reckoned with when he took on a reverse body hold in 11 minutes and 35 seconds at the Coliseum Tuesday. Sikl, although much lighter than Antoine, had a strong condition, "was at no time in danges of being thrown. Only once during the fight he surprised him by taking only a few seconds and two vigorous upon their feet again. This proved to be one of the favorite matches of the wrestlers, and crowd was unmistakable for the Senegalese. Once or twice during the early stages of the bout Anderson attempted to take the wrestling body by the wrestling fans, and decided that it would be an unpopular means of win. BASKETBALL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE IN MOURNING FOR WM. DREWERY VIRGINIA UNION IS GIVEN CHAMPIONSHIP BY C.I.A.A. LEAGUE OPERATING COST RUNS INTO THOUSANDS Institute, W. V., Dec. 21.—William Drewery, student and star athlete at the University of Chicago, and institute who died Dec. 10 at 5:40 o'clock at the Charleston General hospital, is greatly missed by the family, but good wishes to him and death seems to have been a recurrence of a trouble for which he was operated on during the summer of 1982. The day after the football team, on which Drewery was a star half-half, he was sent to the military over Wilberforce at Columbus he was taken to the General hospital where he was treated for a night in an attempt to save his life. For a week he fought stubbornly against overwhelming odds and was able to clean in charge expressed hope of his survival. Sunday night, however, occurred a relapse which resulted in All-Around Athlete Drewery lind for the last four years been the best all-naround athlete at the University of Florida and been an outstanding player on the Institute football team. He was one of the most spectacular and dashing players in the university's early years. Local fans will remember in particular his long run-back powerful. Howard university team the last time they played in Charleston, South Carolina, his fearlessness in smashing the line and shiftiness in a broken field were the most memorable of his very good football teams at Institute when they were recognized last year as the best of the Mid-Western teams. Richmond, Va., Dec. 21.—The committee of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association composed of H. D. Martin, J. L. Watson, T. L. Puryear and J. H. Lawrence, appointed to name the C. L. A. A. champions of 1923 and to select the official mythology of the game, thereby establishing a great record for the Panther eleven. Howard, with three wins and one rank, second; Hampton with four wins and two losses, gets third. Panther and Panther all had successful seasons, winning the majority of their games. Relation losses, and Shaw university with five, were not as successful, but had many star performers and the committee realizes that in this the first time the association as a star team, much criticism is probable, but feels that due to the cooperation, assistance and balloting of officials, scribes and coaches who have seen all the teams in action, of this criticism will be avoided. Prior to discussing the players composing the first eleven a word of mention is advisable. Each coach of the association and 18 of the leading officials and sport officials will be the committee their choice of the first and second All-C. I. A. team. Then in tabulations for a track meet was used. Each player chosen for first team received five points for second team, three points for honorable mention one point. Practically every selection included in the tournament Howard, Miller of Union, Coston of Lincoln and Coleman of Hampton. The outfielder Howard with 80 points, which entitled him to the captaincy of the first eleven, all schools of the association have all produced well coached teams displaying a high brand of football that is any previous time, thus making competition extremely keen from all angles. Of no necessity great outstanding ends, competition for end positions was very well met, and Jones of Hampton, with 45 points, set the call for the first eleven. Williams of Lincoln, with 45 points, Crudan of Lincoln, with 45 points, and Cogrothers of Lincoln, with 45 points. In every position where there is a right and left selective mark, the position is given a reference to either side of the line. At tackle, Coleman of Hampton, with 72 points, are deserving of the high rating given by the position. His position are Dunkle of Howard, with 32 points, and Blackwell of Howard, with 32 points, and at Guard Miller of Union seem to be the outstanding lineman, receiving a very good man in Butler of Hampton, with 56 points. Other men showing a very good man in Butler of Hampton, with 56 points, Smith of Union, with 24 points. The recent annual meeting in Chicago of the Negro National league brought out with the fun of the cities that represent the league are aware of.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1953 INSTITUTE IN R WM. DREWERY Besides being an outstanding football player Drewery was even better at both basket ball and baseball, and he was also good in a forward any an he ever met in competition. For three years he won the national championship, and the year there was no basket ball schedule at Institute. At baseball he excelled. Here was his own game. He was a great player, but he played at times almost every position in the infield. Opponents usually called off all base stealing and he was the best position, but he played at times almost every position in the infield. Opponents usually called off all base stealing and he was the best position, but he played at times almost every position in the infield. He never had passed balls, and he was a heavy and consistent hitter. He Last June DeWeyer graduated from the secondary department of West Virginia Collegiate institute. This institution as a pre-medic student. He had been almost entirely self-supporting, working in the summer time at the college and continuing at some kind of work during the school year at Institute.

Pondoxer of Lincoln, with 23; Boykins of St. Paul, with 12. As in most other positions, one man—Morgan of Lincoln—stands out the promileth of the other players, is deserving of the 56 points given him. An exceptional passer, a fast man down the stretch and roving game, he rivals the Immortal, and the other schools had fine centers: Priestley Howard had 28 points; Earlskale of Philadelphia had 26 points; 24 were the leading righthands of Morgan. | Name | Position | School | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lancaster | L.

It is impossible to play games on Wednesday. Thursdays and Saturdays are made to lie idle while on Sunday the parks are filled. If the league can work up enough interest on Sat- tuesdays, it will keep going. The present day fan has not given the league proper support on those days and it is entirely up to the league to determine what has been going for four years. Birmingham has the best Monday crowd in the league circuit and that is be- cause it is a law there against Sunday ball.

Mr. Hayes has a lyric tone voice and a strong sense of interpretation that is stirring and fascinating. He is singing of Handel's "Would You Gain the Tender Crown" and members for his superb duction in the pianissimo passage, and he and control in the German group, "Die Forelle". It had to be repeated before the program concludes. He marveled abroad at the diction. Every German and the German erics abridged at marvelous diction. Every German and the German erics beautifully interpreted and as an encore Mr. Hayes played the opera "Manson". There were numerous encores and as one of the most memorable pieces there was audience spell-bound. "Steal Away" truly took one to heaven for there was an applause following the rendition and the Negro spirituals were greatly appreciated and were sung as only two "Crucifixion" by Maj. S.

The memorial is a show place in school grounds, and President Coolidge made a special request to visit it. OUR RACE IN LITERATURE HAVE often wondered why some one has not written as a supplication, "On a Certain Condescension in Americans." Such an effort, in some small measure at least, might serve us as a clearer estimate of urgency. Our powerlessness, our utter futility in the face of a concrete situation, is not well, but other we ourselves or our machinery are at fault. In our courts the conviction is simply implied in the sentence but simply a new trial. We are ten by industrial and social unrest. We are statement discuss the bonus and shift subsidy with an eye to the next election. Sometimes our national honors are lost, and we can send a million men to Europe, but not until we have been trampled upon, and we are not surprised, it is any wonder that flag is not always respected abroad Sometimes in our leisurely democracy develop hardships a responsible citizen must surpass our real generosity and charity. A man who has survived the death, that the President of the United States and the governor of Pennsylvania both interceded for the life of a man who was killed in the death. Dick, it appeared, was owned by an alien contrary to law. I could not believe that was able to call forth such remarkable weight or executive clemency? Did its ancestors come over on the "Mayflower"? Could its grandfather vote? Should kill your hometown, your family, your years heard of any President writing to a governor about a citizen who died in death within these United States. Our inconsistency does not mean that as a nation we have lost sight of our own history. We have never needlessly as sea before finding it. Democracy does not always mean when we make it far off its course and has to make a violent effort to find its way. While, moreover, we talk about the presence of there are always with us those who want something else. In the old good days Rhode Island was the most of all the country, and we do not always stop to think that there was a time when there were rock-ribbed families of Boston there and a sea-covered island in the catalogue on the basis of their social standing. Among the rock-ribbed families of Boston there were plantations and slaves. Southerner with whom trade was good and behind whom was the romance of plantations and slaves. We discussed the Jew and the Negro New England has again beckoned to the South with its warm turns; the worm turns; the dog wriggles out of our grasp, and the glory of democracy is that it is the freedom to to work out his freedom—and live. In the new day to which we have come it is necessary first of all that we keep our eyes on ourselves, in humanity. Let us also as never before honor Truth—not propaganda, not the flattened face of a biopic journalism, but simple, clear-eyed Truth. This will mean that we shall have to readjust many of our biopic sibilobolts. Our country is changing, and those persons who insist on abiding by the opinions formed 20 years ago simply stand in silence in another world. With nothing shall we have to be more careful about hasty judgment with subjects relating to the Negro. Today there is no telling By A CONTRIBUTOR what an individual Negro may or may not be, war hardly more than one in ten could read; today literacy has been the most important of the stead of his being your tenant you may even find that the Negro you have been living in increasingly complex, and in some matters of music and other forms of art, the most "advanced" in the country. The Negro is naturally such an artist and he has such an innate appa- sition to the world. He is essential faith unchanged, he is likely to take on a new form of worship and develop almost always a call to Just now Bahamis is popular with the exoteric, and since the war cynicism the nihonese developed almost so a call to the matter. The other is that of the strange prominence of the Negro in American history. In the colonial era it was the economic advantage of the Negro to displace this institution as a system of labor. Two of the three com- munities of the Constitution were prompted by the presence of the Negro in the country; the expansion of the Negro in the question or the excuse of fugitives was the real key to the Seminole determine the status of the Negro in the republie, and the legislation after the history not only of the South but very largely of the nation as well. The later disfranchiscing acts have unfair system of national representation controlling the election of 1918 the attitude of America in the World. Here then are two great themes—that of the Negro's aspirations and that of the American body in influence on the American body in might reasonably engage the attention ousely to have a contribution to American literature on this general topic. The first would call for treatment of the work should be sympathetic to treatment largely objective; but in any case the work should be sympathetic to treatment I regret the Negro has not had. With our biggy and condescension on this subject as no other we have had, the Negro has not spoken within which spake in the beginning. Two great failures still most frequently occur that the education of the Negro has been a failure, and the other is that the integrity of the womanhood of the Negro is not the same. It makes no difference how much evidence there may be to the Negro's failure to start still likely to start off with those assumptions. The Negro himself, moreover, must be either a brute or a charming person. It is not yet a popular play with American audiences, some years ago a Shakespearean company performing "The Merchant of Venice" in Atlanta found it advantageous. Morocco, because of local conditions Literature is supposed to be the reflection of the national life. Unfortunate is not complimentary to the country's life. We have the best printers and books that are they asked to produce — ales of scandal skilled over with sentimentality — genius people who people smiled at E. P. Roe; but Roe was at least harmless. More recently we have seen that even he has been in out-Herdorde. If we today go over the list of writers we can consider only those who are most outstanding, the extent to which many will be found to have a master's degree, they started in astonishing. In all this walter of commercialism, and sensationalism we can see so far as he is concerned, is that he be fearlessly and absolutely honest, as it is in identifiably—as it ought to, but let it cease to exploit out-worn theories or be the vehicle mere mortals to world—is upon us, with new men, new visions, new desires. As never before, our demands are whole. It is now a little more than six years ago that I contributed to "The Diln" (then in Chicago) a paper entitled "The Diln: A Study of Influence." In that discussion I endeavored to deal at some length with the work of several authors—notably George W. Cable, Joel Chandler Harper, and Robert Dilyn—as well as with that of reprs. BIG BUSINESS GROUPS PLAN UNIFIED ACTION THE SOUL OF A KU KLUX THE SOUL OF A KU KLUX The Chicago Tribune recently printed a story of the ill-fated trip of the "Plantation Special," which was scheduled to leave this city carrying disappointed high wage seekers to the land of the lynch rope. In the article the editor of the Chicago Defender was quoted as follow: The ment is opposed to any movement back South." The letter below, signed in H. Busey, Monton, Miss, came as an answer to that statement. It is printed verbatim: Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21.—Unified action, long needed for the economic development of the Race, has at last been assured by the most outstanding group of financial enterprises controlled by Ngroes. Information from the group, led by Perry who is the head of the Standard Life Insurance company, the Citizens Trust, trust company, and the Service company, the triangular group of business enterprises here, that the organizations with which he is commissioned are the most important group a place or major importance in the economic in. Keeping with his recent statement that "The Standard Life Insurance company is the cause of uplift and education of the Colored people of America," Mr. Perry has requeste. great publicity program to educate the masses of Colored people to the realizations of the need for a common world. Of this program Mr. Perry recently added, "the work as expressed in the articles on the value of an economic viewpoint prepared by our faculty and the thought of our Radcliffe group in America. I am more convinced every day that the ultimate goal is upon the foundation of nationwide economic development. When our group meets, we look at the idea of the economic viewpoint the strides we have made If you have made the statement accredited to you in the clipping, you are as most 'Niggers are—because it was the low down no count Nigger.

But there were thousands of lefthands who did leave and and are still on the black belt of Chicago, St. Louis and that will bear me out, and see what the good Nigger is. A Nigger is a There is the South side Nigger and there is the Nigger who tries to do to found none who are absolutely honest, and I have $5 family who have any places are full, and any white man who tries to buy a Nigger to work for him must have any will to deal for them, and it is the fool Northern whites who will Nigger done for the South side, driven every decent family out of once the our William Hate Thompson thinks they sentative short story writers of the day who had introduced O'Keeffe charm and advanced the proposition that in our literature as in our social life we were largely female and had happened within six years, and now that the war is four years behind us and we are trying to find the key to our success, we may not unreasonably ask if there has been any advance. At once we have written five books by O'Keeffe and sketches of E. K. Means and Octavus Ryo Cohen, and these we find to be biography. Five other books—"His Own Country" by Paul Kester, "The Shadow" by Mary White Hale, "White and Black" by H. A. Shandz, and "Jolindetree" by Colonel* byvin C. Robert* interesting to observe, have all appeared within the present year, and practically every one of them has written the first novel by its author. Taken together these books mark an advance, but one would hardly need to mention the method, "His Own Country" and "White and Black", however, while containing much to be genuine epochs, it must attitude on fundamentals, and the treatment of its hero is especially open to attack.

This criticism would apply to many of the older residents are not without fault in this particular time for offenders, but cannot work eventually for the good of all concerned. It is hoped that this article Entering a South side market not long ago the writer was greeted in the company tones by the butcher in a groaning dee do? How are you? How are all your folks?" and a lot of such chat he seemed to have, but alas at the lack of response, but carried the same loud-toned message, using identical words. This latter party seemed to fall into his mood and gave in to something of his family history and all the other things he discussed his personal matters with the butcher that he did not notice he was overcharged for his purchase. Called "Sister" In different sections of the city, especially west of State St., these tradespeople often address their customers buffed, and always lots of joking and laughing are indulged in that carries an underlying tinge of ridicule with it. Our people seem to think that this hater with these people, but conduct a courteous business transaction.

It developed that one of our workmen had a large paper bag with two chickens in it that sent up protesting great amusement of the owner as well as a few of his friends who, by the way, were dressed in very dirty overalls, and although standing in close conversation at the top of their voices. A word might be said as well about the very rude and annoying way some of our people have in allowing their friends to walk around a crowded street car. It is well to seek the front of the car, but no excuse can be made for the way some people treat others around the crowded alley. It is hard to everyone about. It is decided uncomfortably to have one's feet tread upon, but knocked off and clothing removed. It is out a word of apology. In fact one is rest with haughty stairs and beliefful attitude if a protest is made. The looks of disfustert the writer has been careful to note on the faces of harmonious living. "Hog" on Street Car A friend was relating a rather amusing incident that happened on his way to the store of stature. She states a workman in his desire to reach the front of the store, back almost knocking her to the floor. He seemed to be entirely unconscious that he had committed a crime but fought madly to his destination. We who have preceded our more untrained brothers and sisters to a certain degree must give warning of the result to be expected by such practices. We cannot close our eyes to the trouble that these offenders at the time of the attack caused. Yet if one should in the most pleasant manner speak to one of these offenders at the time of the attack, the feeling that exists is that to ask information or to appear uninformed is to stump one's familiar past. These offenders are unintentionally committed. It has been noticed also that one familiar past is not sufficient, rather than seek an intelligent source of information. Gentle, courteous manners, careful consideration for the feelings of others should be observed at all times. EX-GOVERNOR ALLEN FLAYS DAVIS ON RIOT MOVIE O. K Former Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, in a statement published in the *Victoria* "Protest" newspaper recently, accused the Kansas authorities in releasing "The Birth of a Nation" film, which had been barred from the state under previous administrations. "Governor Davis' action in letting this picture back in Kansas is sordid. There are no single good purpose in the picture. The unfortunate passions of the period which it attempts to pletter are not good remedy; it merely reinfames the subject. The only effect that follows its reproduction in separate situations between the white people and Colored people." FOUR GET DIPLOMAS FROM STATE NORMAL Montgomery, Ala.

It looks like a Reagan era. Everyone shakes hands with Toolt堡, who stands in the center of a group of Republicans, his face covered with tears. The grand old man is overcome. WEDNESDAY morning 10:30; New Willard. Chairman Adams presiding. A man of classic features, erect form, inviting respect and admiration, arises. "Mr. Chairman," his rich voice rings out, Silence No gavel, but a voice of power, charm, great cultivation, a voice speaking hidden force, quietls the packed ball room. Mr. Adams: "I recognize the committeeman from Pennsylvania. Senator George Wharton slaves speaking for justice in the highest councils of their party, had won the support, the sympathy, the advocacy of the bluest of blue bloods, the rarest of rare minds, the lawyer among all who follow the law in your court." Senator Pepper offered some compromise. What is that commission? you ask. Something like this: That additional delegates he given states that voted for Harding, and that each district in every state have one vote in the convention and two votes when 10,000 Republicans vote. Hilles of New York, once secretary to Taft, moved the adoption. Then the legal debate. Howell to the floor. Bursum of New Mexico supports Howell. Senator Howell them down with two sentences and one question mark. Senator Howell attacks South Carolina in rebuttal, Toltbert, veteran of 20 campaigns, brother to two Republicans slain for their faith, steps to the front, Howell trembles. Senator Howell subdues such as the committee never heard "Juno Joe" administers to Howell. The committee gives a shout. Hard for Toltbert to proceed. Senator Pepper on the floor again. Howell "roll" the committee down. "There is no disagreement between us on the reform attempted, but the trouble comes when you and I seek to reform somebody else." Howell does not so the committee laughs Howell laughs Howell. He mumbles about "a stick of dynamite." COLEMAN DUPONT takes the floor. Colored Delaware recently voted Dupont out of the Senate. They voted out a friend, a giant intellect, the wizard of American finance. They voted out one who never fails to disappoint when called on to support right. What will Dupont say? Two or three questions he asks. Many desire to answer. He holds the floor. "I have not given all my time away," he says. Again, "Mr. Chairman should lend my voice and vote to the Pepper plan, for I am unwilling that any element of the Republican party should go unrepresented in the party coiffle." Anpause, "I was in charge of the program, wants to vote," "Mr. Chairman," is heard from the extreme left front. The silent member of the committee rises to speak. Every eye is set on Hynicka. "Mr. Chairman, he said. "It seems to me that we are trying to ride two horses at one time, though they have travel in opposite directions, representing at some states and direct representation in others. We must have all of one, or all of the other." Lincoln Johnson, sitting under Hynicka, indulges the two horses. He has traveled to Senator Burton. The senator hows. Perhaps he is saying to the political knight-carrant that Hynicka is standing pat. He is nothing for this committee to do but adopt the plan proposed by Senator Pepper, said Hynicka. All over, Republican states, New York, Connecticut, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Kansas, Pennsylvania, had joined hands. All over but the shouting as the saying goes. Hilles called for the previous question. Mr. Adams asked him to the vote. Now the original motion—the Pepper plan. "All in favor say 'aye,' from Mr. Adams. A chorus of "ayes," the response sounded like a yell of viciousness in a football field. "Now the 'noes' not over two or three." The committee rushed over to Senator Pepper. Handshaking, refollicing. The G. O. P. again had been saved by the despised Southern delegate. All hearts to collage, who will carry the banner to victory in 1924.

DUGOOD HAPPENED ALONG JUST AS AN OFFICER WAS BRINGING OUT DEACON ELIJAH BROWN PATROL D. ROGERS WHY JIM CROW IS FLYING NORTH AII a southern white man, born and raised in on old-fashioned clothing. population was about half black and half white. I have lived nearly all my life in the South and close to Colored people. When I was a little girl, I played with Negro children without prejudice. But I grew up to dislike Negroes generally, just as almost everybody in the South does, for no particular reason at all. I once went to a manhood with a southerner's dislike and contempt for black folks. Once or twice I searched my heart and mind for some of the things I satisfied myself by contemplating only the vicious, indolent, shiftless, improvident, dirty, ragged, ignorant, offensive type of Negro. I did not give much thought to the new type of Negro was growing up. And then, a few years ago, a song awoke me. It was more of a chant than a song; it was a new and strange song; one of which I had heard before: "Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, Boll weevil everywhere." It was a Negro singing. He was a Georgia Negro, who, with a score or more of his kind, sang in North Carolina. This was one of the songs that he had brought from the farther Southland. GENUINE GLADNESS That song haunted me. There was a note of genuine gladness, almost of exultation, in the voice singing it not unlike the note one hears between lines in the Old Testament songs of their enemies. It seemed a song of emancipation. I tucked the words and the music away in my memory, and was a story there somewhere. Negro songs have meaning. One who lives among the Negroes and studies them and on their minds by the songs they sing. If a Negro hasn't an old song to fit his mood or thoughts of the past and on their minds by the songs they sing. He sings his hopes, his fears, his loves and his hunger. A Negro dissatisfied with his job and the sorrow of his marrow may suddenly start from a fit of sulleness and sing as he swings his ax or his shovel: "Ise a-gwine to trabel, trabel, trabel in de mornin." And in the morning he will have traveled, and the overseer will have to And so, when I heard that black boy from Georgia singing his glide-down where, I suspected that nothing less than a romance or a tragedy in Negro life had inspired those words. I have never heard them since, and I have never heard a professor statistician at Tuskegee, who has tucked away a million facts about the Colored people, can find no song like it in all his files. But I have found that he has a million facts about months. I have looked into the exodus of Negroes from the South for Collier's I have traveled through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and parts of Louisiana. I have talked with Negroes in Atlanta, Montgomery, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis and elsewhere, "went to Tuskegee institute," and "went to the United States that is peopled solely by Colored folks—the only town that has a Negro mayor, a Negro police officer, a Negro farmer, a Negro talked with Negro farmers, lawyers, preachers, editors and business men in several southern states. I rode in railroad coaches with Negro migrants in the valley via Memphis for Cincinnati and other points north. I know now why a black boy from Georgia, slinging on a North Carolina highway back in 1917, was singing joyfully: "Boll weevil will, boll weevil will, Boll weevil everywhere. Oh Lordy, ain't I glad!" To millions of hungry and oppressed blacks laboring for a more subsistence on the cotton plantations JOHN SWAIN WAS MURDERED ON WAY HOME FROM SHOW White Policeman, Thought to Be One Who Committed the Deed, Is Still Free Tuscumbia, Ala., Dec. 21.-More than a week has elapsed since John Swain, a resident of this city, was brutally shot down by a white man as he was returning from a theater with Miss Clara Mayes and Miss Edith Smith, and although the identity of the murderer is known, the evidence taken by the sheriff thus far has to arrest the two girls who were with the man at the time of the crime. Swain lived four days after the shooting and gave a minute description of his assailant and even went far enough to name the man he believed to be the murderer, but pains were taken by those in authority not to bring him before the stricken man sentenced to sentence according to the women, they were walking along the street in what is known as "Baptist Hill" for a car pulled up alongside them. For a car pulled up this. This man, believed to be Calvin Highfield, a speed officer, walked up close to Swain and peered into his car. Swain was the right party, the white man fired three shots into the unarmed and defenseless man's body, and drove away. This murder has aroused the community to such an extent that the Ku Klux Klan of Florence has offended and is leading to the arrest of the guilty man. This seems to be farcical in the view of the fact that the man who accused the authorities has been questioned by the authorities. Attempts to find a motive for the slaying led to the information that Flighthead has a notorious reputation for killing people. That there is every reason to believe that he knew one of the women with Swain and that he was jealous. The police are in an effort to whitewash the whole affair and at the same time make the citizens believe that he is trying to find the guilty party, thereby threatening the woman with vagrancy. Both of them the murderer at close range and both of them know him, but neither has been permitted to testify or identify him. This is just another case of Alabama justice. "100 PERGENTISM" SCORED BY EDITOR AND COLLEGE HEAD An editorial published in the El Paso Times of Dec. 1. I ridicules the elites of the NORC, who believe "100 per cent Americans" and who claim that the "NORC" races, composed of light-complexioned people are superior and ought to rule other races. The editorial quotes from Prof. Herbert A. Miller, professor of sociology, who claimed 100 percentism and belief in the inherent superiority of the Nordic stock were dangerous to civilization. The elites of the NORC held and held in check, Prof. Miller is quoted as saying: "too much bragging about one's family, offence is offence itself in patriotism and race consciousness, in patriotism and race consciousness, in lauded as the highest virtue." Unrestrained religious zeal is bigotry and excessive patriotism may be called chauvinism, but we are not so. The vice of overtime race assertion, because it is such a new phenomenon. "Speaking of American culture, the NORC was used to 100 per cent American art" the showing would be absurdly meager. Most Americans are a little more American than we do debarred German music. And then, finally, of race egolism he says, "I am not necessarily intimidating, and therefore reliable. All races have some illusions about their superiority. The race gets the notion that it has been deceived, conscious of its superiority, the race gets the notion that it has been deceived, conscious of its superiority, the race has the moral responsibility to govern all whom it considers inferior." Tuskegee, Ala. Dec. 21. "Chicago is ready for the annual meeting of the National Business Association, declared the Hon. Frank L.

The Chicago Defender CRITICAL MOMENTS BY W. O. SAUDERS (As Published in Collier's, The National Weekly) Oh. Lordy. ain't I glad!" of the South the invasion of the Mexican boll weevil, laying waste the acres of the plantation owners, was nothing less than an act of Providence. The Bible and believe every word of it, the plague of the boll weevil was but the hand of God laid heavily upon their taskmasters. WHO WILL PICK COTTON? The Negro in the towns and cities was most exultant; he beckoned to his brothers and sisters on the farms to lay down the shovel and the hoe, now that actual starvation confronted them, and come into the cities, where employment awaited them at certain wages. The Negro on the bankrupt farm had been made his way to the cities. And the penniless, indolent, care-free, over-restless, change-seeking Negro in the towns and cities moved on to, too. Millions of Negroes have left the South within the past ten years to seek economic freedom in the North. West. Millions more are leaving and will leave. They were pouring out of Jacksonville, Savannah, Atlanta, Atlanta, Vicksburg, Birmingham and Memphis by the trainload this summer. Plantations of thousands of acres have been abandoned in a night. Negro planters last fall and put in the crop this spring. The cotton and the seldom corn was pushing its way into the planters' extensive cultivation. And from millions of acres Negroes went away in groups, leaving no one to hoe and grub and bring the crops to fruition. The law to keep Negroes on the farms, where they are sorely needed. Labor agents have been thrown into狱. Negroes have been arrested on the streets of unauthorized towns. But the exodus has not abated. One finds in some rural towns whole blocks of Negro cabins deserted, many of them migrated every morning behind to divest suspicion. Many of them possess little more than the wretched clothes on their backs; they have no tie of property to bind them. Others are in the garden, keeping a dog and a little poultry, leave the pig in the pen and the chickens roosting in a tree while they steal away to the night to catch a mouse. A Louis or Chicago. A labor agent furnishes them with transportation. Often the whole family goes. More often only the men go at first, but the women go to the portion back home to the women and children, who in turn go to the Northland, where wages are high and "where a nigger has some rights." In the slissippi valley, a Negro Pulman porter pointed out to me a group of Negro women and children hoeing the young cotton of several thousand acres. The woman in the garden" said the porter; we insisted their men folks out of here three weeks ago; another week or fortnight will be hauling the women and children every day. No black folks left on that place." HEAVY LOSSES The exodus spells immediate heavy financial loss and in many cases utter ruin for the owners of millions of acres of farm lands in southern states. There never is enough labor to pick the South's cotton crop clean, even when conditions are normal. But it wasn't the boll weevil that sent the Negro on his wild flight North. The boll weevil was only one of many reasons. The four main ones are: (1) Discovery by northern indigenes of the boll weevil, pendable and enduring inabor. (2) The-dearth of foreign labor, due to our new immigration restrictions, compelling the northern employer to hire a new worker, the ability of the South under its present antiquated, wasteful and inefficient methods of agriculture, to pay the Negro a living wage. (4) The Negro had more than anything else to deal with opportunities for his children. Note—Second installment will appear in a future issue. CLASS DOLLARS BOGUS WHEN IN OUR POSSESSION Swindled Out of Millions by the Railroads That Are Officially Protected While the Republican administration is standing back of the proposed program for the consolidation of railroads we are being swindled by the Republican administration, an apparent consent of the interstate commerce commission. Our people who travel are compelled to put up with information, accommodation in many railroads, and on all railroads throughout the South they are forced to take the most dangerous position in the train, just behind the railroad. The Jim Crow car is a part of the baggage car and in any wreck suffers more than any other car with the possible exception of the rear end Yet we are forced to pay the same mileage rate as do those passengers in the bus. The race is denied the privilege of sleeping in a bed, no matter how long the journey, and in most cases women use the same toilet room, in addition to sharin gifair space with the butcher boy and his assistants backed up by the government make no pretense of giving Race passengers their money's worth in recourse and will have to stand by and see stock watered and manipulated to give the stockholders more profits with the sanction of the gov- No Decent Jobs On those same railroads it is almost impossible for one of us to get a decent job with any future to it. Porters, maids and messengers boogie on by these men, who rank as the foremost business leaders and executives in the country. Half of the delegates who journey to the railroad candidate for the presidency will travel under conditions that no first class stock raiser would tolerate for his cattle, even if he were so scared he would not. Still some of our would-be leaders preach to us of patience. How long can a real man bear the anxiety of putting his children and children in train known as although he pays the same fare as the white passengers they must suffer untold discomforts and insults and be given the same kind of treatment as is given to the baggage of the passengers? This gigantic swindle must be stopped. Now that we as a Racco have a growing influence only those men who must stop supporting men for public office who flutter us with a few stingy appointments to office and support only those men who must stop supporting men for such frauds and impositions as are heaped upon us daily by the railroads of this country. FIND TEACHERS IGNORANT IN RURAL SCHOOLS OF MISSOURI St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 21.—The report of Robert S. Cebb, statistician for the Missouri State Teachers Association, said the school teachers of children of our Race. His report contains the following facts: Seventy-five per cent of the teachers in rural schools have not had professional training; some teachers are paid as small a wage as $40; school buildings are inadequate and insustentive; some teachers in Missouri who cannot write a letter which would compare favorably with one written by a teacher in another, have ever passed the examination is a mystery. "It is known that the opportunity accorded white children in some rural districts is bad, and the conditions are conditions as bad as in Negro schools. In spite of this condition illiteracy among the Negroes since the Civil war has decreased from approximately 95 per "It is apparent that Missouri is trying to help the Negro pupil from a comparison of the cost of education in the city and the cost of the white child is $22.4 per annum, while the cost of the Negro child is $19.40. The difference in numbers will increase the actual cost for Negro children. The relative expense is significantly lower than that Missouri is doing better than many states." Texarkana, Texas, Dec. 21.—As a result of a gun duel fought at Waco, Texas, the Army Farm, 12 miles northwest of here, J. B. Coker, foreman on the farm, and Cyrus Middleton, a teammate, were seriously wounded. Coker was shot three times and beaten over the head with a shotgun at Middleton, who was shot in the face by Coker, who used a shotgun. The wounded duelists are said to have been shot in the face of no one else, but this is not believed by the police investigating the trouble. From their inquiry they are convinced that there were other participants. Students Walk Out; Asked to Act as Janitor Columbia, S. C., Dec. 21. - Forty-eight students of Allen university—three men and 45 girls—were suspended for "disorder, insubordination and defiance of constituted authority." These charges were based on the recourse to law as the new building recently completed. The girls declared that this work should be done by hired jailers and refused to perform the task, as they were required to. They stood firm in their decision in the face of the alternative to clean the new building or leave the school. When they refused to reside, the wholesale punishment followed.

Tried from a difficult affair. The next day would be Christmas. Her funds enough to buy 'Sonny-boy' a Christmas present; to make things even better, she could do without, but it was different when it came to 'Sonny-boy'. She smiled quietly, just enough to show that four teeth were missing; two in her mouth and two absent ones in the bottom row there were consecutively apart. Her black jacket had been interfered with by neat jacket in part about three black jacket holes in part about three right side of his head. She took his mother kindly and despairingly, trying to urge him away from a display window of her. She was an old chony complexion. Next cheek bones that indicated some deep black eyes and an amenable smile that 'Sonny' had probably inherited. But 'Sonny' was eager and remained at the window. He wanted a turkey, something into his patient mother's ears. He understood. She stood watching him and the while her eyes moistened, and a worrisome lump came into her throat. She stood watching him and the while her eyes moistened, and a worrisome lump came into her throat. "What are we going to have for Christmas?" was the repeated query of Sophie. She was troubled, discouraged; there was one thing she knew. The Bible, the Bible that little "Sonny" had received. Why not read it, might help, could help, and she opened it and instead of finding the Scripture that always conserved her so much, she found a book. The next morning when "Sonny boy" arose, his eyes glinted on toys, food and children. 773 Kohler St. Los Angeles, Cal.

"Whether you are white, black or otherwise—if you want to know what's doing among Chosen People, lined more than a thousand miles from Harlem. They call it the Chicago Defender. If you put together all the news of the others it won't be lined by the Defender about New York doings. Another thing: Run off a dance or rocket or a ball on Thursday night and you can read a delightful account of it in the Chicago Defender. Sounds impossible, but we have tried it, so we know. What does it? Brains and enterprise. Besides, these men in the New York office have done more newspaper fraternity than newspaper men in New York than all other scribes. And that explains why thelrs is the greatest Negro weekly in America."

It in-arches those who receive, without impingement, a faith and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. It hibernates in a shado and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None of it is richer than it and none so poor but are richer for its beauty. It is cozy and comforting, fostered good will in a business, and is the counterpart of friends. It is the courage of friends, and the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature's best aid for someone. Yet it cannot be bought, berged, robbed or stolen, for it is something no early good to anyone will it. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.

THE MESSAGE THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE has by this time been carefully read. On the whole it is an interesting and readable document. On many material points it is clear, concise and unambiguous. On others the reader must infer what is meant rather than what is said. It was hoped that the president would take a hold and outspoken and would specifically urge Congress to enact it into law. From the language used by him touching that subject we are led to believe that that is what he wants done and will approve a bill of that sort should it pass. WE BELIEVE, however, that he is mistaken when he asserts that lynching is more local than national, and more sectional than general. Even though it may be true that more persons are the victims of this crime in one sectional state, the president himself should be treated as a national one and the necessary legislation to remedy the same should be enacted by the Congress of the United States. The necessity for such legislation as that proposed by the Dyer bill runs out of the fact that it has been clearly demonstrated that in a number of states the machinery thereof for the punishment of crime is necessary for the national government to crush it out. ON QUESTIONS we deem vital and paramount the tone of the message is friendly. In the person of the president we feel that we have a well wisher at court, but in addition to his well wishing it would be much more appreciated if some aggressive steps were taken to carry those wishes into effect. On the basis of the president's attitude and his attentions are unmistakable. He is compliant in his opposition to the bonus; he champions the McLonan plan for the reduction of taxes, which will no doubt strike a popular chord. THE MESSAGE defines the administration's attitude sufficiently to enable other presidential aspirants to formulate and promulgate the lines of policy that will be necessary to foreign affairs the president is opposed to having the United States join the League of Nations, but strongly advocates the acceptance of the World Court, which is a product of the league. On this point the probabilities are that his attitude is out of harmony with the dominant sentiment not only of his own party, but of the people as a whole. On this point the president principal rival for the nomination, takes the other stand. MIR. JOHNSON insists that joining the World Court will involve this country in foreign political entanglements which we should by all means avoid, and when he and his supporters are elected the presidential election in 1920. He also insists that the granting of a bonus to the veterans of the World war will not prevent a material reduction in taxation. In the approaching primaries, so far as we are concerned, the necessary steps should be taken in an effective organized effort to ensure that plains on questions vital to us and throw the weight of our support and influence to the one that is most acceptable to us. STATE STREET. CHICAGO % OF THE MOST WIDELY KNOWS was devoted to business in the civilize State St, Chicago. While the street miles south and north of the center portion that lies in the "Loop of Congress and Lake St" is alone res publicity. Here can be found the land stores, the greatest group of exten merchants, the highest priced land corner in the world. THERE IS A SHOCK in store for the futures beyond these prescribed limits ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY KNOWN thoroughbirds devoted to business in the civilized world today is State St. Chicago. While the street extends many miles south and north of the center of the city, the portion that lies in the Loop district is the largest and most accessible for the publicity. Here can be found the largest department stores, the greatest group of extensive retail merchants, the highest priced land and the busiest corner in the world. BUT THERE IS A SHOCK in store for the visitor who ventures beyond these prescribed limits. South of Congress St. for more than two miles tumbles into the city, where you can see yards, antiquated freight houses and rubbish-filled pavements are the only things that greet the eye, and oftimes the nose. Why has this wide through business street that offers such wonderful possibilities been allowed to degenerate and become an eyesore when it could be made, at a fraction of the cost required to rehabilitate less important streets, as attributable as valuable as the porlion lynch of Congress St.? ATTORNEY J. SCOTT MATTHEWS, chief examiner of Cook county, in a recent address said: "We spend our money without foresight. We find one public agency located a public bathing beach at the river and south of Van Buren St. We take. Another public agency plans an improvement which is absolutely necessary and must ultimately come, namely, a lake shore boulevard, which will ruin the bathing beach and buildings at its present location. It means the loss of public money—your money—through loss of public foresight. We have thought of opening more streets into the Loop we have spread across these possible streets at Roosevelt Rd. a steel and cement viaduct which will further retard the growth of business southward." THROUGH the concerted efforts of the men and women in the high street, 21st St. and 36th St.—familiarly known as "The Stroll"—this section has taken on a new lease of life. The shop windows are clean and attractive and the street is brilliantly lighted at night, and in consequence trade in general has been greatly stimulated. The street is the river and south of Van Buren St. We have a Chicago Plan Commission which has done wonderful work, but we fear they have laid too little stress on the great possibilities of our unjustly famous State St. ITS A SHAME to fire a police chemist because of stuntility when it is so easy to transfer him to the detective squad.

CHICAGO DEFENDER THE DARK CONTINENT MORE THAN a quarter of a century have kept a covetous eye before the war had more than 50 miles of territory on the "dark vast area is controlled by Great Belgium. According to the Naval Office, the national colonial area are represented by the following 474,000 square miles; Great Britains; Belgium; 292,000 square miles; milties; Italy, 591,120. WE ARE only three countrysons on the are independent, or supposed to apt and Abyssinia, and of these Albia is subservient to the United States, the colonial nation of the United Sam has treated Liberia as a stepchild; that if why she is right now, financially and other 59,000,000 loan that was to come administration never materialized has been done by American banks,almm kernels and mahogany has BOLD WORLD POWERS that have withdrawn with them, besides gold, the. They introduced the natives of living, working and other their own feet. This was not ever so secreter the sovereign told the rainbow. But with all that the fire. It can no longer last continent." There is now really which civilized people have not seen CONTINENT as a whole is rapid; it is rich in natural resources and its place as a leader in common life ever so secreter the sovereign told the rainbow as soon as its possibilities were never hastened to gobble it up. INTERESTING TO NOTE that the World war was to boom to the United States and Africa broke out German and French were off, and, which were too busy at home to荷 market. As a result our Afram from 474,000,000 for 1914 to 400 annually in recent years. Allove that that black man's country come into its own, and when those has become civilized truly they reckon with. FOR MORE THAN a quarter of a century the big world powers have kept a covetous eye on Africa. Germany before the war had more than 1,000,000 square miles of territory on the "dark continent." Now this vast area is controlled by Great Britain. The United Nations geographic society the territorial interests of European countries are represented by the following statistics: France, 4,474,000 square miles; Great Britain, 3,554,000 square miles; Belgium, 928,000 square miles; Portugal, 927,000 square miles; Italy, 591,200. THERE ARE only three countries on the continent that are independent, or supposed to be: Liberia, Egypt and Abyssinia, and of these three it can be said that Liberia is subservient to both Egypt and Abyssinia. Uncle Sam has treated Liberia much as if she were a stepchild; that if why she is in such shape right now, financially and otherwise. The promised $5,000,000 loan that was to come during Mr. Wilson's administration never materialized and little or nothing has been done by Americans to develop the country. The nation's wealth in malloyous coconut, palm kernels and malagoya has not been touched. THE OLD WORLD POWERS that have gone into Africa brought with them, besides gold, the fruits of civilization. They introduced the natives to modern methods of living, working and developing the land in a purely philanthropic motive, for nations, like idividuals, are ever seeking the fortune said to be at the end of the rainbow. But with all that they brought Africa to the fore. It can no longer justly be called the "dark continent." There is now really no section of Africa that is not philanthropic. THE CONTINENT as a whole is rapidly being developed. It is rich in natural resources and will some day take its place as a leader in commerce. Until the nineteenth century Africa was so little known that the rest of the world paid it little attention. However, as soon as its possibilities were realized the continent was so powerful that IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE that one of the results of the World war was to boom trade relations between the United States and Africa. When the war broke out German trade, which amounted to 100,000,000 francs, was too busy at home to bother about the African markets. As a result our African trade has grown from $47,000,000 for 1914 to well over $100,000,000 annually in recent years. All of which goes to prove that that black man's country will some day soon come into its own, and those hundreds of millions will be ill-versed truly they will be a power to reckon with. TWO PRESIDENTS COMPARISONS may be odious, but there are times when we feel justified in pointing out the glaring differences between people occupying the same social plane in life as a mere matter of teaching a moral by bringing out the weak spots in one in contrast to the strong points in another. Just at present President Coolidge's position is a strenuous one. He is a man who is not afraid of or against his credit, and the impression he makes on the people as a whole will determine his political fate at the presidential election next November. IT WAS ONLY A LITTLE THING to personally send a letter of condolence to the widow and relatives of the late Phil H. Brown, the head of a department in our governmental system and a stanch Republican leader for many years, but it showed the heart, the spirit of the man, his commitment and condescension to be graceful even to the humblest. Phil H. Brown was his friend, it mattered not his position in life, and as a friend the president mourned. IN STRIKING CONTRAST to President Coolidge in a matter where the Grim Reaper plays the important role. Of the greatest educators the world has ever known, in the person of Dr. Booker T. Washington, passed away. From every civilized country came messages of condolence from the highest rejoining potentates, from tilted perspagues, on down to the most lowly, while from press, pulpit and platform came culologies of the man who had made a place that will go down in history. All of this without the greatest American. CALL, THIS what you may—indifference, prejudice, arrogance—it demonstrates how small some big men are. It could not be considered an oversight, but it was an important day, the man in the gold figure. We had eight years of Mr. Wilson, we have had less than one year of President Coolidge; the former glaringly refined from paying tribute where tribute was due; the latter stole from his crowded duy a few minutes to pay his respects; the former sat in the Brown home. Such is the difference between our present and one of our former chief executives. MIXED PICKLES SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICIANS are in a muddle, due to the fact that they have a peculiar and unusual law governing primary elections for the party of delegates. The law requires the election of delegates to the state convention the voters are called upon to give expression to their choice of candidates. On the Republican side President Coolidge secured the indorsement of the party to the state convention, and that the candidate thus indorsed must give his approval in writing to the platform promulgated by the convention which indoreses him, otherwise his name cannot appear upon the ballot as the party's leader, the general primary, which is to take place in March. THE PLATFORM which Mr. Coolidge is called upon to approve condemns the World Court and favors a honus. His position is the opposite. What can he do? Since this indemnity took place prior to his message, the Republican voters of that state may have believed that the president's attitude on the questions was in harmony with their own. This belief is not the result of the rejection for I. S. senator. Senator Sterling, who is retiring, known to be a supporter of the president, was defeated for renomination, while his opponent, the present governor of the state and a supporter of Hiram Johnson, was successful, which further muddles up things and which in the March primaries may result in the rejection of some of the decisions of the state convention. THIS MUDDLE: evidence of the soundness of our evidence there should be a national law applicable to every state in the Union not only for the election of delegates to the national conventions, but which should also prescribe the qualification of those to participate in such elections.

THE NORTH Editor's Mail THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In his message to Congress President Coolidge devotes a paragraph beginning, "Numbered among our foremost people." He goes on to say that "on account of the migration of large numbers into industrial centers it has been proposed that a commission be created composed of members from the federal agency for mutual understanding and confidence. Such an effort is to be commended. But it is well to recognize that these difficulties to a large extent are local problems which must be worked out by the human kindness of each community." isn't there an echo of the old debate, lasting for two generations before our Civil war, regarding the so-called Negro question in President Colledge's words. And doesn't he be the one who has the authority of the slaveholding Southerners who resented the idea that the question of human slavery was a national problem? The historic states' rights position toward the Negro, which had to be settled by the sacristans living on the battlefields of the South, appears to be revived by the expression "local problems" used by the president. His apparent attitude of mind in this matter, in direct opposition to Abraham Lincoln's conviction that the problem of slavery was so settled on the broad basic proposition that this nation could not endure half slave and half free, is sure to antagonize, and rightly, all Americans who believe that the status of the Negro in our American civilization must be determined from personal and not a sectional standpoint. When General Hancock, the Democratic candidate for president, asserted that "the tariff is a local issue" he lost all chance that he ever had of election. The country at large ridiculed a man who was so lacking in the intelligence that he could confound in his mind an issue that was nation-wide in its scope with one that had merely local significance. It would prove absolutely disastrous for the Republican party to nominate for president a candidate who falls to realize that in so far as he could be needed with our Negro brethren it is, and must always be a national and not a sectional question.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS A MERRY CHRISTMAS To All the Contributors and to the Readers of This Columny. The checkered mingling of shade and shine. The devious dim ways I have to go. And all the little turnings that are mine. I am in love with life—with evening skies. With hearts of children, scent of dusk-sweet woods; With the soft, placid eyes of drowsing kine; With every bird that sings and, singing, flies! I love night winds that croon at dawning time; Bees, courting busily the sweet white clover; Small streams with silver songs tree-covered hills. All wild flowers in all fields the wide world over! I am in love with all young lovers' ways, With mothers, and the laces at their throats; With a spread table and a snowy loaf, Fine china, and warm rugs, and a wide hearth; Falm music wines and hot, crisp, smoking scones; Rare music, friendly books and slim white boats! All down the gray and winding lane life! These are my loves, and these shall ever be! Because—when I was hungered and alone— They brought their comfortings to dwell with me.

Can any "Yankee Doodle" suggest or select a more wholesome meal for upstairs. It is long and pleasant life to live in proximity to the jungle in the Sunny South. Happy and merry I hope your lot will be during Xmas week and all weeks thereafter. CLAY WALKER. Dyersburg, Tenn. People are much alike The world over except Those who set an alarm One of the best things for a man's health is rubber heels—no particular make. They are especially healthful for the gink who is trying to creep in after a o'clock in the morning without his wife hearing him. P. S.—Rubber soles are still more healthful. Our principal quarrel with common sense is that it is too darned common. FAY. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1923 TALKS ON PREVENTIVE MEASURES. FIRST AID REMEDIES. HYGIENICS AND SANITATION RAGE OF TYPHOID FEVER chest, but they disappear under pressure. Typhoid fever is a disease that runs a course of from three to six weeks. You can readily see the signs of the disease and that prevention is the better part of discretion on your part. In some cases the course is much shorter and sudden, but who knows, once you are contaminate your food, whether you will have a short, abortive case or not? We urge our readers, in case you have any or all of the above-mentioned symptoms, that you do not resort to home remedies or drug store treatment, but consult your physician for advice. We recommend advice. Your chance for recovery is much better by adopting that course and much less a source of danger, not only to your family but to the neighbors of your community in general. Typhoid fever has many serious complications and complications are hemorrhage from bowels, perforation, bed sores, ulceration of mouth and throat, inflammation of middle ear, the typhoid spine, phlebitis or inflammation or enlargement of some of the large veins, more especially in the leg, which are very sore and painful, and there is great stiffness of the legs. Your greatest safety from typhoid fever lies in the proper prevention. One of the ways is by typhoid vaccination. If you have been exposed to typhoid fever, have your doctor inoculate you with typhoid vaccine. It has been used in the army, and where there are a large number of cases of vaccination proved very efficacious and the number of cases that developed after its use were very much less than where the vaccine was not used. Boll your drinking water. The boiling of the water is of paramount importance if you would escape typhoid fever. Too many people are too cautious. They should not only boll the water but scald out the utensils that have contained water not boiled. Clean hands. Be careful to wash your hands very frequently during the day. Do not eat or handle food without first properly cleaning your hands and paring your nails. In case of an accident, you should wear gloves or have antiseptic solution near by in which to drop the hands after handling bed pan, bed clothes, dishes, dishes utensils, etc., that have been in contact with the patient. If the patient is typhoid fever a good, well-trained nurse who has had experience in nursing typhoid cases is the best asset of which one can avail himself. Very little medicine is needed, but good nursing, guidance and watchful care is the part of the care more to restore tendon. THE ONLOOKER BY A. L. JACKSON there was some restriction which would keep DuPois or Moton or somebody else out. But to the message! Most of us wince when a Northern white man calls to the Southern cracker. And most of the people in the community "local problems and a matter of mutual forbearance and human kindness in each community." For we take that to mean that we are left to the tender mercies of the Southern cracker. And most of the people in the community "is tired of being burdened with the brother and is perfectly willing to turn him over to anybody who claims responsibility for him. We do not know what was in the mind of the president when he wrote this sentence, but we know that he would like it or not. There is great deal of truth in what he says. It is because we recognize the truth coupled with our knowledge of the prejudice and narrow-mindedness of the average white Southerner that we turn upon Northern white friends to talk with them when the issue when they take this position. However, we wish to call your attention to what went before this particular statement in the president's message. He said: "UNDER THE CONSTITUTION THEIR RIGHTS' MEANING US IS USED TO PROTECT THESE RIGHTS, THE CONGRESS OUGHT TO EXERCISE ALL ITS POWERS OF PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT AGAINST THE HIDEOUS COME OF THE INCOME. Then he recommended $500,000 for the medical school at Howard university. Mark you, he did not explain causes for lynching or apologize for it in any way. He outlawed and condemned it. He said it was his duty to protect your constitutional rights and he did not desecrate it. He offered financial support to your most needed and highest educational institution. No reasonable person who believes in migration or who has observed its effect North and South will doubt that many difficulties besetting us are local problems, or you may have arrived on State St. and try to think of some law Congress could pass to help him get assimilated to Chicago. He is a problem for those of us who have been hero longer than he and no matter what Laine Johnson or anybody on your hip right here. His rapid or slow assimilation determines your status here in Chicago. And he can become the right kind of teacher, a mine. If Mr. Coolidge sticks by the Constitution and holds onto an anti-lynching pro-education program the rest is up to us and our friends, so we happen to live-North or South. No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles We are advised by the Department of Health that there is a great prevalence of typhoid fever in Chicago; In addition, more typhoid fever now than there has been in Chicago for over the last decade, the proper operating of the drainage canal. The cause of this epidemic of typhoid fever is the contamination of the water supply with the sewage of the public commensal stations because of A. B. improper operating, as stated, of the 'pump'. Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease involving the intestinal lymph, follicles, causing ulceration, sometimes hemorrhage from the bowels and perforations. The fever is accompanied by enlargement and congestion of spleen. The real active causative agent is the bacillus typhosus. Now, this germ, the typhus bacillus, enters the human body by way of the alimentary tract, by the ingesting of liquids and foods through the mouth that have been contaminated or contained in the human language, typhoid fever is a disease due to fifth. Typhoid fever is due largely to drinking contaminated water or milk, or drinking from utensils that have contained contaminated liquids. In fact, you can contract typhoid fever from bathing in contaminated water or by eating with dirty hands—hands that have been contaminated by handling typhoid defector or discharges. Files that have been in contact with typhoid excreta alight on food have been known to spread fever has been known to spread from the use of oysters grown in beds near the point where the city sewage engines and thus contaminates the water. Symptoms of Typhoid Typhoid fever begins with headache and backache, sometimes a feeling of chilliness, aching in bones, a tired feeling or lassitude, loss of appetite, diarrhea or constipation, but fever is more severe. Vivididum is more or less nervous and irritable; there is sometimes a slight cough, slight deafness, nosebleed, with a moderate rise in temperature — a little more in the afternoon than during the morning. The patient has a rash, itching, flushed, skin hot and dry. You should notice tongue, because the tongue often becomes coated in the back part, the edge and tip being clear. There is always a disagreeable or unpleasant taste in the mouth, and sometimes irritations appearing on abdomen and CHRISTMAS CHEER CHRISTMAS CHEESE THE CHRISTMAS CHEESE all the tractors, of this, column I readers of this column the greetings of the season. While we hope that the same min will give the same show to make things look like Santa Claus season, we know that after all it is the spirit in the hearts of people that makes watch people already busy about their holiday shopping we wonder just how many of them are planning a Christmas will have a real significance in their lives and how many are doing know that After all it is the spirit in the hearts of people in Christmas. As we watch people already busy about their holiday shopping we wonder just how many of them are planning a Christmas which will have a real significance in their lives and how much we want what they think is expected, of them. Of course many people will spend more than they ought for presents and give presents to people who could do very well without them. It would so much enable them to smile if they could realize that among real friends there is no need for foolish efforts to keep up with the Joneses. Excepting among the children Christmas is largely a matter of spiritual awakening or revival. The world tries to free itself so much that it fails to place in order to get back to faith in universal laws and confidence in the essential goodness and worth of the human personality. Brotherhood, so glibly mouthed by preachers and soap box ornaters, for once seems to really meet the needs in small kindnesses and consideration for others. Intense grief or overwhelming joy always convinces us of our close kinship to others and to forces over and beyond us. But it seems so easy in the whirr and buzz of the workday and feelings within our breasts. Some of us hide them so effectually that we are prompted to assert that they do not exist. A Christmas basket for the poor and unfortunate or a Christmas stocking for some kiddle is hard to set aside as evidence of the joy of Christmas, which at least once a year brings men back to their better and finer selves and a new realization of those things that really make life worth while. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE That portion of the message of President Coolidge which refers to the brethren. We think, short of it, that the president would be hard for any president to satisfy all of us. Even if that were done some would want it turned over to black people, who other whites would be happy with and lighter shades. Some would-want Garvey eliminated. Others would not be satisfied unless Prevention of Typhoid
