McMinnon fought the extradition, confident that his identity could not legally be proven. With Attorney General Robert S. Carr the court carried his case to the supreme court of the state of New York, where an effort was made to effect his release on writ of habeas corpus. The appellate court ruled that the order was ordered turned over to Police Captain Edward F. Clay of the Thomasville, Ga., police department, Justice Gordon J. harried the police.

Months later he took a medical arsenal to McKinnon's medical duties to "other women." Mr. and Mrs. McKinnon separated, only to McKinnon filed suit against her husband for cruel and abusive treatment. It was during the trial of this suit that McKinnon attacked her husband in the local court before Judge Bernstein. Mrs. McKinnon seized an umbrella and beat the luckless spouse over the head and threw her into a pit. Witnesses were required to rescue McKinnon. Then the wife told the police that she believed that McKinnon was an abusive wife. She was on the strength of the fact that McKinnon received frequent mail from a woman.

Jan. 6- W. T. Puckett (white), collector for the Chicago. Clothing company, 1715 Third Ave. Edinburgh, fell in love with Miss Adele Wilson last Wednesday, and as a result he is a patient in the Birmingham General hospital, having been seriously shot by a woman in the Wilson woman and made good his escape. The white man went to the home of Mrs. Ada Belle Robinson, 1317 Third Ave. Birmingham, attempted to recover some house furniture from Miss Adele Wilson, who officiates of the company, said, was not making prompt payments on the marriages, which she had purchased on credit. According to eye witnesses, Puckett entered the house at the Seventh Ave. Adele Wilson, the children of the occupants, using abusive and profane language. When he attempted to get possession of the merchandise he was met with resistance from the police, pulled a man into a tussle. During the moke Puckett struck the woman. An unidentified man appeared at the time of the incident, pulled a man into the moke, the bullet effect in the collector's shoulder. Attendants at the Birmingham General hospital say that while the bullet wound itself is not serious, the bullet's penetration has lost a large amount of blood before his wound was given attention.

Jan. 15—An inquest into the death of an aged man, McClellan Dixon, whose skull was fractured three weeks ago by two patrolmen, will be held next Tuesday. Dixon was 62 and virtually penniless. His death would have gone almost unnoticed had it not been for Robert L. Willis, a local attorney, who appaled to practically every executive John P. McCarthy and Arthur J. Heidt are the men said to be implicated in Dixon's slaying. They are also charged with being signed to the so-called black belt near Gratius Ave. and St. Antoline St. Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding the death of their victim, the court is pending official investigation. Beat Changed The only action taken by their superiors was to remove them from the building, according to police officials, was to "protect them from possible reprisals" by friends of the dead man, who might be incarced by the way he did. The testimony of witnesses shows Dixon as drinking in an upstairs bldg, blinked in pain, and Dec. 20. He was a socially inclined old man and for years had done junior work in various Ann Arbor fraternity houses, where he was a member. Centently he had been junior of two apartment houses in the north end. Patrolman Heldt and McCarthy entered Dec. 20 and ordered everybody to clear out and go home. Dixon went downstairs and then started back to look for a friend who had not yet deemed him. From this point the stories of the police and the lay witnesses differ materially. The police declined to meet Dixon on the stairway, cursed him, shoved him down to the pavement and then beaten him with a nightstalker.

Miss Roberts Advises Vets to Hold Policies By EVANGELINE ROBERTS Director Defender Serviced Bureau This office is besieged by ex-serviced men wishing to know how to secure an immediate loan upon their insurance certificates. In answer to those inquiries, I would advise each veteran to alight down and carefully read the instructions he will find fully detailed the facts about loan conditions. For the benefit of those to whom this technical language is being given, be somewhat obscure of the driving are given. (a) Loans cannot be made on a certificate until it is in two years old. c) The amount which can be borrowed from the certificate, the age of the veteran to whom it is issued and the face value of the certificate. The loan is due in the year to year. Each policy has printed upon it a table of loan values. c) (a) Any national bank or any bank of any state, the laws of any state, territory or possession of the United States is authorized to make loans on a veteran's provisional note. b) The bank does not security if the veteran does not pay the interest when due. the bank, after six months, may collect it from the veteran. c) The bank holds the loan as a lion against the policy, charging 6 per cent interest until it is paid. Should the veteran die before the loan and interest is deducted and the balance paid to the beneficiary. There has been much talk of turning to private parties for loans on policies. The person making such a trumpet with a veteran has been accused of antitrust, assignment or loan made on a certificate except in keeping with the original provisions is void. No sum payable under the act to a veteran is valid. The person subject to attachment, levy or seizure or to national or state taxation. This provision guarantees the benefits of the act to the man who has passed because of financial difficulties a time when he needs money most. An amusing feature of the matter is that, with but few exceptions, every veteran is sure that he will be able to work with the ex-service man. Although the average of the ex-service man is 32 years, they all declare that the ex-army will be extinct. This is the very childish of cooking the familiar food, known to siding the frailties of the body and the feeling that justice has not been done all around, many are disillusioned with the veterans who will receive their compensation in the form of an endowment insurance policy are the railmen in many ways. The very fact that they cannot quickly spend and then be as poorly off as before is one good argument for it. Others, who are frugal and careful of expenditures and who would no longer be able to afford the stage, will have to content themselves with the thought that they have something laid by. A tangible asset to their credit. The have acquired a degree of wealth which will increase as the years go by. It should carry with it a feeling of independence.

"In fact, the main idea of my trip was to become acquainted with the people and observe conditions at first hand." "Things which impressed me most were: the class of theaters our own, only well equipped and comfortable on the front side of the house, but the big majority are surprisingly well equipped backstage. Most have every stage. The dressing rooms, too, were in most cases comfortable and commodious." I was impressed greatly by the almost unanimous expression by the managers concerning the splendid co-operation they had received from the artists of our various shows. The managers had done everything possible to make the venture a success, and not only were willing to do anything and were believed to each other well. "in fact, the only thing in the whole trip that I found to criticize in the lenient, that of ironing out transportation in one or two places.

Primarily the treaty was used for general inspection as to qualifications of the operators and managers, to use acts, but principally it was for training, first hand, conditions under which performers backstage. The new circuit is not "night time" by any means and many of the theaters applying for franchises had feature pictures or home talent. In the same article we had a list of theaters on the T. O. B. A. circuit, performers were talked about. We did not expect any particular enthusiasm from the managers of the theater, but the managers of the list was not published through anything but a desire to improve conditions, which are admittedly disdainful. We called the list to the fact that not all the theaters on the T. O. B. A. are bad—only that most of them are. We were not interested in the title, although we have a most comprehensive one at our elbow—list which, if accurate, as we suppose, is the theater manager not only a discrease to the business, but a porasite living off a set of performers for whom they surroundings fitting even for hers. It is indeed hard to understand how men with money invested in leases have money invested in leases, things to prevail which are certain to act against the effilibrary and general welfare of the workers to whom they are performing also gain a livelihood through the theaters and their bookings, but how can they be expected to act against the effilibrary and general welfare of the workers to whom they are called upon to wallow in filth and dirt in dressing rooms where there are cases to wavy or for their personal cleanliness by the management. It is inhuman and in the name of common vacy or for their personal cleanliness the writer is well acquainted with Milton Starr, Saa K. Reeves, S. H. Dudley, Martin Klein and other colleagues. The writer is also among his most valued personal friends. Knowing the fine type represented by these gentlemen, we feel that the conditions prevailing on the men, especially ignorant of the debasing conditions prevailing at some of the houses on the circuit and we suggest that more of the officers make a tour of inspection for the benefit of the downtrotten men and women who are the jacking up of the nickle-hurting beasts who call themselves managers, who are, in fact, worse than the men who call themselves performers.

JESSE LOVELL Aided by numerous referee's decisions which were obviously biased and in favor of them, the Lindblom team was 15-16 decision over the Wendell Phillips heavyweight five before a crowd of nearly 1,000. The referee, A. E. Braunum (white) continuously teamed up with the team when Lindblom was behind in the score which resulted in a very dissatisfactory game to the sportmen of both teams and was protested. The Brookins-Ramsey-Eaves passing formation was unable to loosen up in the first half, due to the fact that each time the referee missed one of the ball the referee's whistle blew to give the ball to one of the Lindblom players outside the court or to give them two or more tree throws. The Philips decision was called at the end of this period, 5-4. Strange Ruling The red and black baskets came back strong at the beginning of the third quarter and cased seven of the kings, which completely bewildered their lesser opponents. When the score was registered 13-6 in favor of the Phillips defensive Braunum against the two technical, pleasing two free throws for the offense. Immediately after the ball had been resumed in play and the Brooklyn team with a dribble which the Lindlom guards could not encounter the referee again took a hand in the game and called a personal four for the Brooklyn team, his opponents two free throws. When both of these proved unsuccessful Braunum then allied the Phillips rosters with no noisy and allowed the Brooklyn team to tempt the throws two more trials, one of which he made. The remainder of the game was not kept too far away from Lindlom's team, called a random in favor of the Lindlom team, and the referee trying to see to it that the ball was not kept too far away from Lindlom's team, scored the Lindlom forwards' proved unable to take advantage of the beats and scored when they was upset by the Phillips guards, who feared that they would be fouled. Time Cut Short In the last two minutes of play the Brooklyn machine became flushed that took its toll by burrowing so that he format to blow his whistle. Phillips cared a basket and a technical fool, making the score 15-16. The Lindblom times, seeing the great attack which was again bewildering the West side boys, fired with more than a minute to play. The entire Phillips team starred and the more so because of the very selfless acts of the players with some clammy command in Tampa also deserves great credit. The Lindblom five could not breach the resistance that their opportunity was obvious.

Hampton scored first on a long shot by Hargrove, who was forced out of the half because of a twisted ankle, Wade, center for Shaw, tied the score with a difficult shot, but two tree bounces on the ball by Hargrove, made him attempted free throw, sent the score rapidly to 4-2, favoring Hampton. Just at this point Lambight made the ball bounce on a free throw. While dribbling in for a shot a Shaw guard swept by and took the ball, only to have Shorty follow him with the ball. He dribbled over the ball, Getting it near the tailer. Lambight jumped above the taller players and looped in the ball to score 5 to 2. Wade was getting the tap at center in the majority of cases, but Shaw seemed unable to make the ball more than strike the rim of the ball. Playing Brilliant Despite the one-sided score the game was interesting and exciting from the first whistle to the final whistle, the team was persistent attack of Shaw or in the machine like precision which marked the playing of Hampton. Though Shaw was held to a fone field goal, the team was not held to a persistent attack, there were many tense moments due to the continued plugging away at the basket by the Bears, the team was not held to a consistent range for accurate shoots, stop fouling there is going to be trouble for some team. Another field goal by Hargrove, two field goals by McNichols, one field goal by Jones and one field goal and one free throw by Lumbright for Hampton, and two field goals by Wad, and one by one field goals by Shaw, making the scoring for the first half, making the total for half time 2 to 8. Substitutes Good The substitutes on both sides were excellent players. While Hampton's was the best substitute, his standard set in previous games, their work was promising. For Shaw, Mitchell was the best substitute, his work of the eight substitutes with Coach C. H. Williams sent into the fray only a few tawed in lone ability. Roland was tawed in on their ability. Roland was tawed in on their one field goal. Eugene E. Brown with two free throws and Mark F. Thorne with his ability to hold Wade, his ability to hold Roland, were tawed in half, were the outstanding substitutes. The others, of course, did good work in the game, but their period of play was short. **CARL CARTER** **REINSTATED** Heavyweight boxer, who weighted recently for the alleged foiling of Yale Sporting club, Brooklyn, was reinstated Jan. 7 by the boxing moguls.

Thursday evening, was crowned the new state champion in that division after he had made quick work of his two rivals in the two hours that he took part in. The winner was the Union Tanker (white) of the Union Settlement A. C., who kissed the canvas exactly one minute after the gong sounded. The new was Thomas Lillik (white) who shopped in two and a half minutes. Robert Nelson of the Holy Name club, competing in the lightweight class, was defeated in the semifinal. The winner was the Parish house after a great battle that was so close the judges sent the boys an extra round to determine the victor. Maybe the judges were right, but the judges were all the customers, and there were some 5,000 or more there.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER BY FRANK YOUNG WE face the new year with a fair amount of good material from whom we look to see great things accomplished this season. First we have Defiant Hubbard of Michigan and Gourdin, ex-Harvard star, in the jumps and we have Gilmore and Drew at Amherst, Roberts at Iowa and a few others who are sure to give a good account of themselves in the track and field games. Young Harper from Fort Madison, Iowa, high school and Sterling, Iowa, will be the freshman with ease, but should romp home with some fifty trophies in both indoor and outdoor meets. Albert Washington, former Chicago university track man, is likely to sport the maroon colors again this year. In our own institutions we look to the Hampton track meet and the Colored intercollegiate track and field games. We hope that and suggest that Hampton and the intercollegiate body add one or two women’s events to their programs. Let’s encourage the girls. Basketball is fast coming into it. In Washington there is a tendency, indeed, as it appears, to fraternities to wreck the basketball team of Howard. There is too great a stress put on the interfraternies and not enough on the intercollegiate games. This is the fault of the fraternities. A decided change would be welcomed. The game between the Armstrong high school of Washington, D. C., and the Wendell Phillips high school of Chicago on Feb. 12 in Chicago will stand out as the biggest athletic event of the winter season and perhaps the biggest event indoors this year. Phillips struggle to win the central championship will be hard, very hard indeed, as it appears that the officials in charge of the game are determined that Phillips shall not win the central title three years straight. It will be remembered the force that the public saw when Phillips met Lane and how it was nosed around days before the game by those who were on the inside that Phillips would never be permitted to win the city title. These things, of course, only go to prove what poor sportmen the American white man is when it comes down to a question of color. Just this week my attention is called to the remark attributed to Coach Sachs, who formerly coached Phillips. He is now at Loyola and he is accused of having drawn the color on a player. When will wonders cease? Even the Hebrews turn against us. In baseball much is to be done. The public is sick of the trades and falling out between owners. The fans want a league which they have already and which will function, notwithstanding erroneous rumors put afloat. The public wants to see the eastern and the western league close their season so that a world series can be had earlier because there is hardly a possible chance to get the good weather that bobbed up in 1934. The peace between the two league made it better for all concerned. Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Birmingham, Kansas and others. This is to be determined in the meeting at St. Louis on Feb. 1. In the meantime, Foster is still president by virtue of having been re-elected to that position. Football is king and will remain so. Lincoln is champion in the East; Tuskegee in the South. The four horsemen of Booker T.'s institution should have been able to encounter the Lions. It would have been a scrap worth going miles to see and it would have paid either in the East or in the South. Perhaps a postseason game can be arranged between the winners of each section half. There is one big thing to be accomplished—that is the straightening out of the row between Howard and the C. I. A. A. As long as the friction continues, just so long the gate receipts will suffer. We hope that the Lincoln-Howard game is here to stay. It is really a classic—too big a one to be lost over some technical rulers or wording. We have, as the year gets under full steam, the mighty Harry Wills. He needs no introduction—neither does dodging Jack Dempsey. Phipps will dodge dogs like Jack and resemble Harry. Then we hope that Harry will treat him tough—just like he did Firpo, only we are hoping Jack will have to be carried out of the ring hopelessly knocked out. Tiger Flowers looms up as the greatest boxer since George Dixon's time—other than Jack Johnson. Tiger is going a little strong—fighting a little too many. Iron will wear out and constant dropping of water wears stone away. Walk Miller, take notice. Then there is One Round Al Brown. Great hoy he is. Larry Estridge did the flop—nothing more than was expected of him to do. He is due to lose a lock and resemble Harry. There are lots of comes, some when he outspread this season like Flowers did last. Indianapolis will have its annual auto races. First Saturday in August it is likely. Chicago will follow. The outlook is bright—with the new year a few days old—we figure nothing but a great year, lots of real good live news, plenty of action and many records to be smashed to smithereens in 1925.

NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL CLUB OWNERS TO MEET IN ST. LOUIS FEB. 2 IS THE PROPOSED C. I. A. A. BOYCOTT OF HOWARD FAIR? Friends of Howard university are deeply interested in the so-called athletic boycott which the schools which hold membership in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association are attempting to exercise against the university because of its recent withdrawal from membership in that organization. Most of them are expressing the school's efforts to secure school borders on criminal conspiracy when they suggest that no school holding membership in the C. I. A. A. will be permitted to attend the school with Howard so long as the university remains outside of the C. I. A. A. To some it seems a rather impudent practice, but with the institutional institutions for an organization to undertake to dictate as to whom it shall contain with in connection with its athletic games, the university is not only a gross usurpation, but the insistence upon the exercise is flagrantly inconsistent with the present practices among the educational authorities. The members of the C. I. A. A. already have the privilege of playing institutions not members of the association, thus this privilege. This being true, it is hard to understand, they observe why there should be such a deterrent leading educational institution of the Race, unless it be borne of an unthinkable jealousy. Howard withdrew from the C. I. A. A. has already been stated by the authorities of the university. The letter of the Howard board of athletic control, published recently, clearly stated the university Howard has a right to exercise its right to enter or withdraw from such organizations as it pleases, and the exercise, of this right should, according to the law of the United public, is no good reason for retaliatory tactics. Howard University's The Editor of Sports is an ardent reader of your paper and learn at this time that Howard university is expressing the sentiments of a good many sport followers in the present controversy concerning her elimination from the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association. As this institution is patterning its own athletic field, in regard to athletics, there is not any reason why other institutions of higher learning should not do likewise. It is not far away, Tale or Colgate plying Philip Andover, Exctor or Culver academies in sports. Then why should our Harvard institutions that are not in their circles, that is secondary and trade schools? Here are some suggestions worthy of the establishment a three-year ruling, i.e. a man has three years to engage in athletics for his alma mater. "Has he yourself a full-graded or the full-fellowed colleges or universities?" Eliminate the trade and secondary schools. 3. Bar the professional-player and the athlete. 4. Beware of the athletic tramp. 5. That the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association should have members of college graduate change so it will comply with its members. Such suggestions are in working order in our white incolegiate association as you are aware of. We do some very good work, but there is a little discrepancy of evil in athletics that has done so much to discredit colleges and to do some very troubleable people. No one can deny that the physical sport has an important place in a modern college. There can be no perfect same and healthy appraisal, apart from equipped body. Nor will any one deny that youth is the best time to train the body as well as the mind. The college athlete despises the "quitter," the "quitter," and the "mucker." He is a good loser as well as a good winner, for he excuses more for the game than he does for the victory. He could not very well call some of the football games this past fall real college contests because there were so many high school pranks attached to them. He could not play a strenuous game, the fiercest ever seen on the gridiron," says one of our great college presidents, "and yet keep the speech and manner of the qualification, honorable restraint, judgment, unselflessness, self-control under great provocation and prompt decision in sudden emergency—these are some of the qualifications honorable participants in college athletics. And these are physical, mental and moral virtues well worth cultivation entirely apart from the right and recreation that they afford. I am not a Howardite, but alinely one of classifying college athletes, a pace of classifying college athletes.

The manager of the club and the roster of players will be given to the public at the end of the season. The Negro National league plans to close the season in time to stage a world series with the Eastern Conference either before the cold and uncertain summer sets in during the fall months. There has been rumors on top of rumors of trudges that are likely to be the cause of the poor pitchers and may try to strengthen his club. St. Louis has a pitching staff and a set of young ball players that promise to raise the cold and uncertain summer sets in during the fall months. The Monarchs with their championship team of 1921 are smiling and watching the other owners and whether their club to stop Ronnie Dunn. The fans are much interested in the movement to re-establish a club in the city. A former offer of Charlie Mills had been accepted last winter when the meeting would still have a franchise. The question of umpires, numbering of players, interpretation of playoff rules and other matters will also be taken up.

CLEAN KIDNEYS BY DRINKING LOTS OF WATER Take Salts to Flush Kidneys in Bladder Bothers or Back Hurts Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some forms, says a well-known authority, because it distresses, particularly backache and rheumatic twings, severe headache, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or rheumatic twigs right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of food and also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy. You will then respond before for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine.

A STEP BACKWARDS THE writer was a spectator at the Finnish-American indoor track meet held in Madison Square Garden in New York, where the Granville, West Indian walker, from the wilds of Canada, was the only lad of our group to compete in that large meet. We have our future athletes? We could go back to five or six years ago and name almost a dozen who were prominent, not just mere athletes in the sport, in so far as competition is concerned. Athletic clubs in Gotham should take notice of the deplorable conditions confronting our activities in the city, and that is meant—follow what "St. C." is doing in attempting to develop new material. We go back to when the "St. C." team country as a unit was the best in the greater city.

Canada, former national seven-mile champion, was defeated by about 100 yards by Willie Plant of the Morningside A. C. in the two-mile special walk in the Finnish-American A.

At that point Granville, who complained that he had a bad cold, gave up hope, allowing the white boy to lead him to the tape by about 100 yards.

Jan. 20— Any all-American team pick by any one of the top teams, will be probably open to just criticism, and to that species of human being that is ever the nemesis of coaches and players alike, the second guesser must have his say. To my mind Frank Young's all-American队 of 1924 presents one of the most powerful aggressions of players in the game, being the most compactly compiled of veteran material, grounded soundly in the modern kicking, passing and running game, the most dynamic of possibilities of their relations, but this is due to their age and lack of experience. The team is a combination of aggressive players, with a line of exceptional physique to open jargon holes in the opening wall. On defense it will stand like a granite player, with a strong running. The player selected to carry the ball would have strong interference. It has men who not only can make forward passes but also can make defensive passes of the missing game—receive their There is one change I would make in placing the quarterbacks. Sherrod of Paul Quinn would be placed in the center, doubling one of the greatest drop kickers in America. The first team back field would then have two of the greatest kickers in the game—with Stevenson and蒙莱·帕尔维尔. They would have the longest distance punter in Colorado football. CLEVELAND ABROTT.

TIGHTENING THE SCREWS A NUMBER OF STATES have passed laws to affect that any officer of the law who permits a person to be taken from him by a mob and lynch automatically loses his position. Kentucky has a law, but unfortunately it is not as effective as should be for the reason that it gives the remission the right to appeal to the governor for restatement. And this right was taken advantage by Vernon Castle, town marshal of Wayland, who is alleged, was indirectly responsible for one of group suffering that fate. This law should admit of no appeal or reedification, as author of the Louisville County Journal asserts, "under it an official should lose office whenever he fails to prevent the seizure removal from his custody of a prisoner." This is only thoroughly effective removal law. It is the law that is effective in some other states. If the sort of law that was proposed for Kentucky, soft-hearted legislators modified and spolited it, resulting in the present defective statute. That statute, as editor of that punishment is greater than any law and if the cities of any community chose to override the law, who to stop them? We have been furnished with hundreds of concrete examples of human life being sacrificed on the altar of state's rights and the South invariably has been the offending section. There is no thing as law and order among that class of cities who have for so many years escaped punishment crimes committed upon members of our group reason of this same public sentiment. Not only is each state have a good enough law for office as a automaton, but there should be a federal law, forced by federal officials, covering the same office, in way only can the stain upon America blotted out. A NUMBER OF STATES have passed laws to the effect that any officer of the law who permits a prisoner to be taken from him by a mob and lynched, automatically loses his position. Kentucky has such a law but unfortunately it is not enforced. It gives the removed official the right to appeal to the governor for restatement. And this right was taken advantage of by Vernon Castle, town marshal of Wayland, who it is alleged, was indirectly responsible for one of our group suffering that fate. The LAW should not fail of no appeal or reconsideration, the editor of the Louisville Courrier-Journal asserts, "under it an official should lose his office whenever he fails to prevent the seizure and removal from his custody of a prisoner." This is the only thoroughly effective removal law. It is the sort of law that is effective in some other states. It is the sort of law that legislators modified and spolled it, the result being the present defective statute. WE HAVE ALWAYS CONTENDED that public sentiment is greater than any law and if the citizens of any community chose to override the law, who is to stop them? We have been furnished with hundreds of concrete examples of human life being sacrificed on the altar of state's rights and the South invariably has been the offending section. There is no such thing as law and order among that class of citizens who have for so many years escaped punishment for crimes committed upon members of our group by reason of this same public sentiment. Not only should each state have and removal law for officials that are invariably and inevitably like a blind automaton, but there should be a federal law, enforced by federal officials, covering the same offense. In this way only can the stalematon America be blotted out. WE SEE BY THE PAPERS WHAT IS NEWS? It will be a happy day, managing editors of newspapers when the laity differentiate between what is and what is not no.

Whilst might be of moment to him it does not in many cases happen to him.

It will be a happy day for managing newspapers when the laity can differentiate between what is and what is not news. Many people rail at the poor editor because he will not publish some common happening to an individual or a happening that came under his notice. While it might be of moment to him it does not interest the other ninety and nine. If a man spoke to a monkey that would be too ordinary to be classed as news, but if a monkey be out the door the innymy and so be "front page stuff." A BANK CASHIER absends with a hundred thousand dollars. A woman kills her husband and runs away with a chauffer. A boy is burned to death when his radio wires become crossed with an electric line. These things will be found in the news. Readers will, for the moment, be interested in the monkey story, but they will be more sensible than to consider the freak typical of all monkeys. It is in the news because it is a freak. Why, then, believe that all bank cashiers are dishonest, that all marriages are unlucky, that all radios are dangerous? Too many readers take these things seriously. STOKE the STOKE for the same reason that the monkey is mentioned. They are unaware. When they cease to will they be unnew. That is part of a newspaper's duty, to chronicle the unusual, the entertaining, as well as the informative—the actions affecting the majority. But don't forget why these things are news—they are unusual. THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCE between this country and Russia. Over there, when somebody breaks the laws, he is given a perfunctory trial and convicted. Over here, when somebody breaks the laws of the land, he is given a perfunctory trial and acquitted. A HARDWARE MAN put this sign in his window, but had to take it out and word it differently: "Here's something that will suit you Cheap Skates." Not so bad at that. A MAN hates to run from a "diviver" but since they began to equip 22 caliber cars with, 44 caliber horns one never knows what is signaling him from behind. CHICAGO DEFENDER BUSINESS POINTERS "LOYALTY" HERE we have one of the greatest words in any language. What a lot of fine thoughts come to us when we but think of loyalty. And while thinking about it there comes also the thought that men often feel that it is of some peculiar advantage to them be disloyal. Now, there can be no "middle" ground between the two. We are either one or the other. We are 100 per cent loyal or 100 per cent disloyal. When we are the latter we are positively slick mentally and should as positively seek a cure for the disease of the mind as we do for those of the body. What does it profit us to be loyal? What does loyalty earn for us? Ask any loyal man. The answer is this: It earns for a man the love of his family—the respect of his associates—the interest of his employer—and the protection of his country!

The answer is this: It earns for a man the love of his family—the respect of his associates—the interest of his employer—and the protection of his country! HARRISON VS. BRUCE THE CONTROVERSY between Senator Bruce Hayward and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, the United States senate recently made more than 100 calls to the Senate to challenge the fact that it touches a sublimely concern every American, and especial our group. The root of the controversy was the reason why the Democratic party was so overwhelmed, highly defeated in the recent election; wowwithstanding the fact that their candidate was one of the brains and most acceptable men that our country has produced. IT WILL BE RECALLED that an article appears in these columns under the capitaon "A word about the Democratic party in which it was pointed out the "solid South" is a liability rather than an asset to the Democratic party and though solid in the sense of that party, it has a tendency to prevent rather than promote Democratic success. Senator Bruce who is a Democrat from a border state, took substantially the same view as that set forth in our article. Though his is geographically a border state in all essential particulars it is a northern state. SENATOR BRUCE is a typical representative political decency, and the national Democratic party impresses the best osite; and yet the country is impressed with the fact that the national Democratic party is dominant by Democrats of the Harrison type. This impression was strengthened when Pat Harrison was chosen in the national organization to sound the keynote of the party as temporary chairman of the convention. The person was looked upon as a tacit endorsement of the criminal and unconstitutional methods that are adopted and enforced by the wing of the party he represents. The party is a national organization, a leadership and support and defend the methods by which the Solid South is maintained is perfectly natural, since a majority of the American people believe in constitutional methods, law enforcement and fairness in honest elections, the Democratic party cannot hope in national elections as long as it is handicapped by the methods and practices exemplified by leaders of the Harrison type. SAGACIOUS STATESMEN of the Bruce type have a pointpoint and望 to be silenced or intimidated by the methods and practices exemplified by leaders of the Harrison type. Who have little regard for honesty or decor should accept a public office procured through methods such as those fostered by men of the type of Harris who hope similar discussions will follow for the reason that general information on this subject will缓 the eradication of the evils complained of and will relieve northern Democrats from southern dominance. THE CONTROVERSY between Senator Bruce of Maryland and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi in the United States senate recently merits more than a passing notice for the reason that it touches a subject which vitiated concern every American, and especially our group. The root of the controversy was the reason why the Democratic party was so strongly defeated in the recent election, understanding the fact that their candidate was one of the brainiest and most acceptable men that our country has produced. IT WILL BE RECALLED that an article appeared in these columns under the caption, "A word to northern Democrats," in which it was pointed out that the "solid South" is a liability rather than an asset to the Democratic party and though solid in the support of that party, it is not a strong force in the Democratic success. Senator Bruce, who is a Democrat from a border state, took substantially the same view as that set forth in our article. Though his is geographically a border state, yet in all essential particulars it is a northern state. SENATOR BRUCE is a typical representative of political decency, intolerant of the extremist views of the Democrat Harrison sympies just the opposite; and yet the country is impressed with the fact that the national Democratic party is dominated by Democrats of the Harrison type. This impression was strengthened when Pat Harrison was chosen by the national organization to sound the keynote of the party as temporary chairman of the convention. The party's crime and unconstitutional methods that are adopted and enforced by the wing of the party he represents. THAT HARRISON should champion the leadership and support and defend the methods by which the solid South is maintained is perfectly natural, but since a majority of the American people have been in the past supported by faith and honest elections, the Democratic party cannot hope to win in national elections as long as it is handicapped by the methods and practices exemplified by leaders of the Harrison type. SAVE THE PRESENEM of the Bruce type hold this point and refuse to be silenced or intimidated by the blant and lawless element in the South. Only men who have little regard for honesty or deceyment would accept a public office procured through methods such as those fostered by men of the type of Harrison. We hope similar discussions will follow for the reason that the Harrison type is in the predicament of the evils complained of and will relieve northern Democrats from southern domination. AN OPPORTUNE TIME SINCE THE REPUBLICANS count the coun- tries and have a majority in both houses of congress and the party being committed to national legislation. The party is not committed to the incoming congress will not fail to pass an ammend- ing law similar to the one introduced by Rep- resentative Dyer of Missouri. The administration, course, is not only favorable to such legislation, but a recent message to congress the president call- tion to the necessity for such legislation. It not disputed that lynching cannot be effective and prevented by independent state action. SINCE ALL LOYAL AMERICANS are support- ers of the necessary species of other govern- ment, the duty is incumbent upon the government, because its citizens at home as well as abroad are protected in the enjoyment of life, liberty and pro- erty. By tacit consent the protection of the citiz- ents these lines, has been included in the pol- ower of the different states. The fact has be- ly demonstrated that so far as lynchings are con- cerned the different states are powerless to affect the necessary protection and apparently many of the four DYETY is it they could. THE DYETY will make this a national one and the criminal punishable through federal machine. While it is true that members of our group are duties in a larger measure than those of any other group, yet this is merely incidental. The crime be- halfly behoins regardless of the racial identity the victim. We do not therefore, ask for this legal inion in the interest solely of our group, but in the interest of law and order generally. No law-abiding person to object to whatever legislation may be necessary, state or national, to secure safety of every citizen. OBJECTIONS to the Dyer bill came chiefly from southern Democrats, who the official congress criminal methods which this proposed legislation was calculated to prevent. Their alleged reason was the had a tendency to destroy state's rights. The right a state, either by countenance or tolerance, to poll any of its citizens to be lynched should not be the national government. Since certis dows not being allowed to lynch, should not be allowed to go unwhipped of justice. WE LOOK FORWARD to the introduction by M. Dyer or some other good friend of a bill drass- hough to accomplish the desired purpose and that public opinion has now reached the point where such legislation is not only expected to be demanded. SINCE THE REPUBLICANS swept the country and have a majority in both houses of congress and the party being committed to national legislation to cure the evil of lynching, it is to be presumed that the incoming congress will not fail to pass an anti-lynching law similar to the one introduced by Representative Dyer of Missouri. The administration of, course, is not only favorable to such legislation, but in a recent message to congress the president could be expected to pass such legislation. It is not disputed that lynching cannot be 'effectually curbed and prevented by independent state action. SINCE ALL LOYAL AMERICANS are supposed to owe paramount allegiance to the general government, the duty is incumbent upon the government to see that its citizens at home as well as abroad are protected in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property. By tacit consent the protection of the citizen, along these lines, has been included in the police power of the different states. The fact has been confirmed by the fact that far more concerned the different states are powerless to afford the necessary protection and apparently many of them would not give it if they could. THE DUTY therefore devolves upon the general public to make this crime a national one and the criminals punishable through federal machinery. While it is true that members of our group are the victims in a larger measure than those of any other group, yet this is merely incidental. The crime being the most significant regard of the racial identity of the victim. We do not therefore, ask for this legislation in the interest solely of our group, but in the interest of law and order generally. No law-abiding citizen ought to object to whatever legislation may be necessary, state or national, to secure safety of life to every citizen. OBJECTIONS to the Dyer bill came chiefly from southern Democrats, who are the official products of criminal methods which this proposed legislation was intended to prevent. If it had a tendency to destroy state's rights. The right of a state, either by countenance or tolerance, to permit any of its citizens to be lynched should not be allowed by the national government. Since certain states do not punish this species of crime the criminals should not be allowed to go unwhipped of justice. WE LOOK FORWARD to the introduction by Mr. Dyer or some other good friend of a bill drastic enough to accomplish the desired purpose and we feel that public opinion has now reached the point where such legislation is not only expected but demanded. UNSAFE CONDITIONS AMERICA is not looking for trouble, and fear of foe, but at the same time we should be prepared a moment's notice to defend ourselves against a rack by any foreign power. This can only be done the same old way by spending our millions for fighting aircraft, watercraft and all other modes of war. It sounds good to the ear of every exporter to hear President Coolidge's preachment to our government, but it does not have in many lines of our government, but it does have in our selfishness to be scrapping our ships and disarming ourselves when other powers apparently are strengthening their fighting forces. THE ARMY AND NAVY are now said to be re-raced to the lowest point reached in many years, and so sought for or where many diplomacy declare are unsafe sources of war. Very good sense in maintaining an efficient and modern equipment for defense with the plans and to expand in all directions should there AMERICA is not looking for trouble, and fears no foe, but at the same time we should be prepared on a moment's notice to defend ourselves against attack by any foreign power. This can only be done in the same old way by spending our millions for fighting aircraft, watercraft and all other modern weapons of war. It sounds good to the ear of every taxpayer to hear President Coolidge's preachment on economy we need it and should have it in many lines for our government, but it does seem the height of foolishness to be scrapping our ships and disarming ourselves when other powers apparently are strengthening their fighting forces. THE ARMY AND NAVY are now said to be reduced to the lowest point reached in many years and relief is being sought for what many diplomats declare are unsafe conditions. There appears to be very good sense in maintaining an efficient and modern equipment for defense with the plans in hand to expand in all directions should there be need. Great Britain and France have adopted extensive aviation construction and training plans for the purpose of gaining an early advantage in the next war. We hope there will be no such thing as a next war, but if there will be let Uncle Sam be prepared for it. BEFORE CONCLUDING that two can live as cheaply as one, young people should first determine which one. A MANUFACTURER who gets a salary of $150,000 a year, says: "I always enjoy hard work." Lead us to that kind—so do we. SINCE ZERO is zero, all this fuss about the zero weather is over nothing. A GIRL on State St. says if she ever marries, the man will have to look like a foot warmer.

(Birmingham, Al.) WAKING I said to myself one morning: "Annie, the world is fair. You'd better be up and combing The tangles out of your hair." Quickly myself made the answer: "The world is horrid and queer; If you don't go to sleep again Let us all stand and sing: "Where, oh where has Bubbles gone; where, oh where can she be? Bubbles, we're calling thee." Other Papers Say FEWER LYNCHINGS (Chicago Tribune) There were 16 lynchings in the United States last year, according to the records of the Tuskegee Institute, the smallest number in the institute records and 17 less than in 1923. One was in Illinois. The others were in the southern states, Florida having appurently Americans are getting over the habit of extralegal punishments which made them internationally conspicuous and which might as easily get an innocent victim as one guilty of the crime punished by mob overthrow of law. We may congratulate ourselves if that is so. The only extenuation ever given the lynching record, at least in the North, was that it represented the response of people to the breakdown of criminal justice. Men have taken the law in their hands because murders were more common, but the crime generally was not composed of virtuous citizens white with indignation but of elements of lawlessness and men deranged for the moment by mob savagery. While we hope that the decrease of this violence is truly indicated, the question occurs whether it comes from the greater restraint and sense of law and order and justice or whether it has any relation to the adequate administration of criminal justice manifest in many communities. We cannot say that the courts have so maintained a code of punishment which would satisfy the citizens that the law was inexorable when guilt was proved. At least in this state such is not the case. We do not know of another time when it was so difficult to bring the known guilty to proper punishment or so easy for the criminal to walk away from the penalty. Probably the restraint and self-discipline which citizens seem to be developing is the more noteworthy because of this. We may hope that as the social sense increases in the citizenship criminal justice will find a building community requires it to for the general safety and security. The alternative to self-protection is protection under the law. Editor's Mail WHAT ABOUT THIS? Editor, Chicago Defender: Chicago is a progressive city. Our people are represented in almost every walk of life that it takes to build a great metropolis. We feel proud of our judge, senator, representatives, business men, policemen and in fact all of us. We want to represent us as a Race making progress against mountains of prejudice and discrimination. Why is it that we support the South Park commissioners in all of their wants for improvement and that we want to represent our race in the uniform of a South Park policeman? Is it that we are satisfied to support this body and let them ignore us, or is it that our leaders have overlooked this issue? Let's wake up. NATHAN B. SCOTT 3763 Mabush Ave. SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 DR. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES, HYGIENICS AND SANITATION "I HAVE HEART TROUBLE, DOCTOR." the penalty in suffering, inconvenience and shortening your days on this earth. In heart disease, rest is very essential if you wish to prolong your life. You would not think of operating on the New York Central railroad or on any of the other roads, without first having a careful general inspection or examination at regular definite periods throughout the year. No. You would not operate your automobile over a long period, without having to pass through the country or for that matter in and about the city, if your motor began to skip, backfire or lose its power to pick, without having the motor of your automobile carefully examined and all places placed in first-class condition, well oiled and well maintained, doctor tells you to stop, there is danger just ahead, it is very necessary to lay up for repairs—that you must lie quietly in bed while your heart is being repaired. His advice is to prolong your life—he is not after running up bills, he is not keeping up with your health, you but to get your co-operation in requiring your damaged heart. According to the best authorities 140,000 people died of heart disease last year in this country. Heart disease is largely on the increase. Heart disease in medical parlance is known as "the Captain of the Man of Death." Heart disease is no respecter of person, neither of race or color nor social conditions. Heart disease is its own disease. It affects individual knows and observes the laws of right living, proper hygiene, he will not only be able to prevent heart disease, but cure it when he has it. But the crux of the situation is to know the laws of right living, proper hygiene and obey these laws. This column has had for its single purpose, for nearly 15 years, in an humble but earnest way, to teach the people these laws and how to propound them. All the medicine in Christendow-foolishly change from one to a thousand and doctors, but if you overlook the important factor of REST—REST of BODY and MIND—obtain absolute rest in bed, flat of back according to advice of doctor, you are doomed. Unless you are in that frame of mind to be submissive and obey the instructions and advice of a good doctor, unless you carefully take coagulation and prevent a life within your heart limitations, you are doomed to sudden death—yes, it may be sudden or preceded by prolonged, protracted, disagreeable illness, but it is certain. THE ONLOOKER By A. L. JACKSON which are not one's fault as still handlems. From this unchangeable truism (it may be found in the Bible among other places) the book takes its way. It cannot but feel that it is easier to pass judgment on the color problem when one hasn't any; and that If Mr. Merrick had stuck to his own nation's riddle, his made two heroes Hindsu, who wished to marry white women, it would have been playing fair. Elshia Lee, a Negro singer, marries Owne Tremlett, with his own widow with an equally petty and preposterous frankly marries Elshia for his money. Being the sort of woman who would do this, she takes—fogically—all she can get, and gives as little as she can give. Lee is disappointed, and dies finally in a hotel with a venal and peroxided companion. Meanwhile, he is produced one son who, as everyone, finally reminds him, is uglier than his father, and cannot even sing. "The psychology of the elder Lee, though a little generalized, is good. But the son, David, is the usual Leonard Merrick hero, with a thin skin and a morbid annoyance, because the world won't make sufficient fuss over him. Of a possibility of compensation in the gallant bearing of the warrior into consolations or even assets, neither he nor his companion, the deformed girls knows anything." PRESERVING HOME FIRES THE mechanical developments of THE mechanical developments of the present generation seem to outstrip the growth of ethical ideals to cope with the situations which follow in the path of each new invention. The telephone had no sooner broken up the old-time culling and the old-fashioned hip dress and the automobile came along to add confusion to the defenders of old customs and traditions. As if that were not enough, Mr. Volstead stepped in to popularize hip flasks and bad gin. The increasing tendency to live or attempt to live in the movies and to watch the movies and cabarets seemed to be too much for most of us and home no longer spelled comfort and good times. Then along comes the radio, which moves the latest jazz orchestra right into your parlor or kitchen, as you may prefer, and for your own high-priced poison to put on your own cabaret with the aid of a few guests. Now the theater folks are beginning to have pains in the region of the solar plexus, if that region can be said to have any bearing on their purse, because John McCormack and Lucrezia Bori sang over the radio. They believe that spells trouble for them. We think they are right. If the reformers know what they are about they will push the program for more and better broadcasting, for more and better entertainment, without very much trouble. No cabinet entertainment can possibly compete with the radio when that same entertainment can be enjoyed at home or ignored, according to your mood, and the efficiency of the receiving 'set in your possession. No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles A GENTLEMAN came in to see us the day after and made the follow- ing arrangements. lowing sustenance heart troubles. My wind is short, and I the forehead. I make down all the berths in my body, stop and sit down, hoist the window, or go to the door to get fresh air. I want you to give me some medicine so I will be able to out. It takes me nine days to make the round trip. My wind is short and I lrehe down all the berths in my car. I have to nap and sit down, hoist the window or go to the door to get fresh air. I want you to give me some medicine so I will be able to take it in out. It takes me nine days to make the round trip. Do not give me any medicine to put me in bed. I have been troubled this way for a long time and have been afraid to go to doctors because the they want to do is to put you in bed and run up a big bill on you, etc." This poor man is doomed. He has no knowledge of a condition of a heart that produces the above mentioned symptoms. This shortness of breath or his wind is short, as he has a heart that he finishes putting up berths in his chest but coughs, etc. are the danger signals of not only oncoming disease, but of disease that is already present and working great damage to his heart. Too Much Faith in Medicine The majority of people have too much faith in medicine. Medicine is only one of the important factors in aiding nature in bringing about a cure. Secondly, notice the mental attitude against doctors. This patient is skeptical—he looks upon the doctor as a holdup man—one that wants to run a bill without any thought of effecting a cure. People who have no faith in their fellow men do not believe in the cure much in this world. There are just a few specific drugs on the market for the cure of heart disease, and, if we had to take our chance or make a choice between these medicines for cure of heart disease and the advice of rest, we would choose the advice of the doctor and the factor of rest in 99 cases out of every 100. The heart is the machine or pump. You might say that by right living, proper, hygienic care you may run without any inconvenience for years; but if your heart is diseased and not receiving proper living and hygienic, knowingly or ironically falling to follow the advice of your doctor, you are going to pay SOME MAGAZINES THE January number, of Opportunity has just come to our desk we have not yet had an opportunity to get involved but judging from the table of con- tents it looks like a very intering number. The editor's "Who's Who?" does not tell us who Winold Reiss is, but at any rate he has given this issue a cover design that attracts attention. Or our knowledge of art does enable us to tell whether it is cubist, futurist or like a very interesting number. The editor's "Who's Who?" does not tell us who Winold Reiss is, but and are we has given this issue a cover design that attracts attention. Our limited knowledge or art does not allow we whether it is subist, futurist or mah jong. At any rate the color scheme catches the eye and we suspect that the lines have done to our eyes and senses just what the artist intended to like. Like the cover and think our readers will like both cover and contents. One of our friends, brother of the distinguished New York World staff correspondent, Lester Walton, has established the habit of calling our attention to articles which he thinks might be of interest and which this week from him the other day suggested that we be sure to see the January issue of American Mercury. L. M. Hussey has in this issue an article which he calls "Homo Africanus." Mr. Hussey, it seems, served as publicity man a few years back for some of our southern educational institutions and succeeded thereby in helping to establish the article is to our way of thinking, interesting and entertaining. He has succeeded in getting behind the mask and in some ways discusses our private business as if he belonged. We think he will repay you for reading him. There are other very stimulating articles in this issue which of them have to do with the race problem, which we may comment upon at some later date. If any of our readers have by any chance read Leonard Merick's "The Quint Companions," published by E. P. Dutton & Company, we would like to hear from them. Marzaret Widderem in the Philadelphia Public Ledger literary review has plugrd our curiosity by this extract from her book, "The Quint Companions," print herewith for the benefit of such of our readers who do not see the Public Ledger in the ordinary course of events. And, by the way, the Ledger is, in our opinion, one of the best newspapers we have. Its foreign news page is unequaled and its financial and editorial pages are high class. "The thesis of 'The Quint Companions' is that a Colored man is discriminated against, maritally and otherwise, by whites, and that a deformed woman is not considered as a woman, and that a sleight and pretty one with less brains and character. In other words, that this world's judgments are unfair, because it treats handicaps --- Death Rate ```markdown ```
