Borah, veteran Republican fighter from Idaho, led the attack against the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker as justice of the United States supreme court in the senate Monday. Judge Parker, a Republican from North Carolina, was named to the supreme court bench to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Sanford, who died early this year. "I am opposed to Judge Parker's acceptance to principles and propositions to which I am opposed." For an hour Senator Borah spoke before the senate, turning his attention frequently to the senate's sentiments of many organizations which are also fighting Judge Parker's confirmation. Among those in the gallery, was Congressman Oscar Sanders, who was repreenting in his fight to line up votes among senators against the southern man's being seated on the supreme court bench. The light has been going on with the senate seeing little hope for a vote before the end of the week. According to present indication, Judge Parker is almost sure to be running for governor when he is running for governor of North Carolina back in 1920, in which he declared that he was opposed to the entrance of the Race in which he upheld an injunction forbidding minors to join unions, and his general mediocrity are reasons for the greatest opposition to his con Chicagoans Hear White on Parker A large audience composed of members of both races packed Olivet Baptist church, 31st St. and South Pkwy., Sunday night to hear Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, deliver an address setting forth the reasons why Judge John J.

This is a special part: "It is my measured opinion that citizens identified with our race are more stirred by the attempt of President Hoover to put upon the United States supreme court bench a man who is less flouting of the 14th and 15th amendments than any other event within recent history, and their friends are aware of the fact that Justice Holmes is 89 years old and that Justice Branden is 74.

N. FIELDS At the instance of ex-Senator George F. Harding, the present Cook county treasurer, ample and sufficient watchers were secured, supervised by Barney Fink, an experienced enumerator in vote tallying, and placed in charge of looking after the interest of Judge Albert B. George of the municipal court, who had been declared defeated on the returns the day after the recent primary election. No subsequent checking revealed on Wednesday that Judge George had been renominated and now holds 11th position, making his nomination secure. The interest manifested by Treasurer Harding and Bernard Leonard East. Republican committeeman of the Fifth ward, can be said with impassioned confidence that the final correction of the tally sheet. The renomination of Judge George has immediately assumed a national aspect in that not only all eyes were on him, but he is the fact he is the first judge occupying a competent court of jurisdiction in the history of the United States. The judge may not have met the universal approval of all litigants, but none can say that fairness, equity and justice are factors in determining his decisions. Those who have assumed the responsibility of criticizing him predictive opinion upon his proposition that we are qualified by reason of his judicial temperament. Of what their concealed opinions may have been, the fact remains that they declared that Judge George was studious, diligent, capable of performing the duties of his judicial duties. Thus it must be left to the reading public in this bewilderment of the law's way out in this conflict of opinion. Judge George, however, to us as a group has set an example in the law of the unhonored given us an honored place in the sun. Not so much for his sake, but for our sake, every member of our group, in our group, should exercise and exert every wholesome influence to the end that his renomination is continued. The idea is not advanced that we should be clannish on this question, but that we should exercise race contempt and continue the unbroken line in the elevation of members of our group with the distinct idea in mind that It was not and should not have been reasonably expected that Judge Brennan could in his official position do the things even for us that judges of other groups could do without being in the position of a racial group are not in line with the proper thought of if we hold the opinion that such is possible. Of course, if Judge Brennan judge would pull away from the right. But we must not he so narrow in our judgment of the interest first in lieu of the larger and greater question of the larger and wrong. It is to us a remarkable demonstration of courage and integrity that Judge George held his position and administered his duties over five years without one instance of an efficiency or integrity. It should be to us an a group a proud moment in our lives, especially in view of the fact that an a boat of over 2,000 years of contact with the world's great civilization have had their reputation blasted and cities of their official duties. Let us be proud of Judge Albert B. George who, in his official capacity, has given standing which radiates and lights up political and civil purity.

ASPIRIN TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION In the Service of Peace For an International Monument in Remembrance of ALL the Victims of the Great War The committee of the "International Monument" against the war bege of every organization of ancient combatants, injured or mutilated, or the women widowed by the war, to designate one of their members to join the committee of the "International Monument" and propagate the following appeal addressed to all the nations of the world: For a Universal Peace! To the Glory of Human Labor! Against the War! Women and men of all nations, listen to the appealing voice of grief and human hope: The nations which yesterday were engaged in a fierce fratricide struggle have erected monuments to the dead, to their "Unknown Soldier"; they did it in remembrance of their sons struck down on the battlefield. Today the collectivity of great and small nations is morally engaged to build the International Monument to the "Unknown Soldiers" in remembrance of the immensible victims of the war. The numberless national consecrations of patriotic piety must be followed by a collective realization of an extraordinarily pathetic and magnificent stimulation of international human unity. The ancient combatants, the mutilated, the wounded who survived this Golgatha of war with its unspeakable horrors, the mothers, fathers, wives, orphans, the immense crowd of human beings crucified in their flesh and soul by the war address the fervent prayer to humanity, to all the citizens, women and men: Let us build the modern cathedral which will be the spot where multitudes of humanity will meet in plous pligrimage, rallied ferently to the creed of universal peace. To beg of all such of good will, enjoying clear reasoning and gifted with a chivalrous heart to lend us their assistance, in order that we may be able to raise to heaven this monument of reconciliation, solidarity, and human fraternity, which is called to identify the "International Monument" of the "Unknown Soldier," erected at Geneva in remembrance of all the victims of the war and in perpetual execution of this devastating plague. This "International Monument" will be a great gesture of expiation and will constitute a powerfully appealing symbol of the absurdity and vanity of the war. For centuries to come, it will shelter the mortal remains of the ashes of an "Unknown Soldier" of each nation.

Pythians Citizens Urged to Save Old Currency BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 2. — Judge William Walker of the circuit court of Alabama issued a decree April 10 in the suit of Philip Shorter against the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, and others for the renewal of application for a receiver of the entowment department, court records revealed. In part, the judge's decision pointed out: "Upon consideration thereof and after having given the added parties as well as the original parties opportunity fully heard, the court is for their own benefit and for the benefit of other holders of certificates of life insurance in the respondent lodge, Knights of Pythias of Alabama are entitled to relief hereafter decreed." The decrees take from the hands of U.I.G. Mason, I. B. Kigh and R. A. Blount, all the funds of the endowment department and places salaries monies under control and administration officer or officer of the court is directed to bring about such proceedings and law suits as appear necessary to restore the mortuary department to its proper status.

Without it Some effort will be required in obtaining the bills, since the new currency which is smaller does not bear the name of either of the quartet. The treasury therefore have to be scrutinized carefully for the names of the four men.

The case originated in 1957 when the attorney general brought suit to have a receiver appointed. The plea attorney by the defendant, that the attorney general was without authority to bring suit as the complainant was upheld. The case was taken to the supreme court, which body sustained by Jones's decision. Following the supreme court ruling, 15 policyholders of the order were charged with same charges entered by the attorney general. Upon this plan, Judge Walker appointed W. H. Carter, treasurer of the supreme court, who was required to post a $75,000 bond. The complainants posted a $10,000 bond. The officers appealed to the supreme court and several arguments were made before that tribunal. The supreme court remanded the case for other irregularities and bad conduct parties being the officers and agents charged with misappropriation, and other irregularities and bad conduct funds. The officers, as alleged, and who by suggestion of the opinion of the supreme court, were necessary to U. G. Mason and I. B. Kish, and they are now defendants. Then amendment, as suggested by the judge, was applied to the case time in 1929 and the case was heard upon written affidavits and proof of facts as alleged, and upon argument before Judge Walker last February.

The 25 years just ended has transformed our city from an active, aggressive and young metropolis into a full-grown, still active and aggressive one, continuing its expansion in all directions. Something else has been done, twenty-five years ago, when a sturdy lace unit here, that has made history for itself even as Chicago has has grown. Every day of the five great oceans. The history of our people in Chicago before the advent of the Defender is no more likely. The old best score and five years. While there are old settlers still alive who recall the days when Abraham Lincoln just stood the Federal building, yet the social, economic, political and religious life of our folk of early Chicago has never been chronided and presented As one of the features of the 25th anniversary edition, the Defender is reaching back into the treffery of the 70s, the bloody '69s, the commonsense '70s, the peaceful '60s and the gay '60s for data to be passed on to its readers. It is a vivid picture of the melodramatic setting which formed the background for the work and play of Chicago's artists. The five years of the present century before the Defender came into being saw the Chicagoan of our Race gaining his first ever years later, events of which the Defender reported in the most brilliant style, did he make his presence felt. It was a moment of unbound recognition in politics and in business. This may be attributed to the fact that the Ice population that had started its rapid upward climb. Political, social, religious and business organizations came into being and began to function seriously. The Department of Justice seeks advantages to force abend in every respect. But in order to understand and appreciate the Race citizen of Chicago, it is necessary to study the century on the advanced representatives of our Race of today an imaginary trip into the past is essential. History Begins With DeSabio. Drew DeSabio began the journey in 1778 when Jean Baptiste Desabio built the first house in Chicago until 1834 when the 16th Illinois militia organized a campaign against group in Chicago. Tradition has it that several of our folk went to Lyons on June 7, 1834, where, at Barney Lawton's dwvern, they on the citizens vote to elect Jean Baptiste Desabio, the most popular man in Chicago, colonel of the militia. The white man's history has needed to be told to the people of color present on that occasion. Even in the early '80s Chicago was thriving, the Race member was play-in his part. In the late '80s he was with the westbound pioneers who left the East. In the exploratory of the world, the country of 2000 of them took the trail to the gold fields and many of them stopped in or returned to the Chicago region. They helped fight the Indians when necessary and traded with them when the red skins were so loudly. They helped live and work wilderness with previous metropolis which we now look upon with pride. With the opening up of the West the growing power and influence of the industrial North and the restlessness of the agricultural South difficulties lines of population and industry began to show themselves and became more or less tightly drawn. This was during the '50s. The South had assumed its rebellious attitude. The Dred Scott decision had caused the nation to become alert. Everything was upset. The presidential campaign was coming up and the slavery question was one of the big issues. Then there came the war clouds. Though no accurate records of the activities of the brother are available, it has been passed down from word of mouth that he (especially in a free men) was done in his part toward aiding the nation. Saw Lincoln's Body The election came: Lincoln was president, then the war. The Race man played its part. In a number of battles, Lincoln the group were enlisted. The freedom came and the end of the war, and with the first real history of the State that bears any semblance of the American past, Mrs. Alice Mathews, who died as a result of an automobile accident last year, told a Defender reporter her death, that she and her brother went to the federal building to see Lincoln's body as it lay in state there. This, of course, was in the 1860s. The events of the '70s are perhaps best recalled by early Chicagoans because it was during that period of the Civil War that Lincoln devastated in fire. The first or last fire occurred in 1871. Attorney Edward H. Morris and Mrs. Joauna G. Sigviden have given what has been a long-standing authentic story of both confalrations. Mr. Morris came here from Cincinnati and attended St. Patrick's School. He arrived her 1868 and lived at 547 Clark St, two doors north of Hillman's, who were at that time peddling shoe strings and matches on the street. He was best told by a visit to W. Washington St., where the manificent Hillman A Baby for You A Baby for You A Mrs. Tamayo Taft, Texas, Tells Her Story: "I suffered with troubles for a while, women and believed I would never have children. but with the Gen-Tone treatment I felt relieved and gave birth to a baby. My husband and I praised and recommend Gen-Tone Compound." This lady is one of the many who write grateful letters about this new treatment for women who are denied the blessings of children or who suffer hearing-down and periodic pains. To test Gen-Tone, just write Hamilton Products Company, Kansas City, Mo., and when your full-sized treatment arrives pay postman only $2.00, plus a few cents postage. This reliable company agrees to return the $2.00, plus a few cents, should not hesitate in accepting their generous offer--Adv. man's store stands. They are millionaires. Mr. Morris stated that he killed himself in 1964; Hilliard moved the same year. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Started Fire Joseph Hudlin, the father of Mrs. Snowden, is remembered back as early as in 1868 when he was head of the Hudlin family. The Hudlin lived at 339 Third Ave. (rough Plymouth Ct.), where Mrs. Snowden was born. That Mrs. O'Leary's cow started the 1871 fire is not a myth, a positive fact, Mrs. Snowden revealed. In telling the story, Mrs. Snowden said, "my father took a visiting friend for a ride through the city on Sunny Saturday." It originally began. "It was believed to have extinguished, but, according to Mrs. Snowden's recollection, her father told her when he returned that he had members still on the site of the fire. Later in the afternoon while their mother was attending Quinn Chapel, she was taken to the Custon House PL) and Jackson Blvd., the present site of the Union League club, Mrs. Snowden declares, "I noticed that the sky was redder than they had ever seen it before. They were afraid, she said, and ran to Mrs. Snowden, who told them that "judgment day" was coming, Mrs. Snowden laughed, and with this in mind they went to the screaming to the top of their voices. Her father, the old settler pointed out, seeing that there was a fire, left home, and went to the board of trade building. He is said to have taken all the valuable papers from everything. Everything else was destroyed. Mother Called "Fire Angel" The little fire occurred in 1876. Its area was more circumscribed. It was confined to the territory bounded Harrison on the north, 12th St. on the south, and on the west and State St. on the east. Dr. J. H. Hutchinson, for whom Hutchinson's lodge of Odd Fellows was named. He believed to have been the first race physician in Chicago and the first race doctor in Clark and Harrison St. Dr. Hutchinson is put to have amassed considerable wealth. He examined hundreds of soldiers of both races during the war of the Rebellion. He died about 1899, being the first member of the Hutchinson lodge to pass away. His death duration 18 years after the lodge was organized. Dr. James H. Lewis, a Kentucky, was the city's first dentist as far as is known. He had his office at 12th and State Sts. and enjoyed a lucrative practice. John Hutchinson, who is referred to by practically every old-settler one meets, operated a cleaning shop on Deckhorn St. between Madison and Washington Sts. He was one of the city's leading race officers at that time. Mr. Jones owned the property which holds the place of the site on which the Boston store is located. He received a handsome sum when he sold it. Mr. Jones also was our first county commissioner. Following his death, Mrs. Jones moved to California, where she died some years later. Her niece, Miss Theodosis Lee, who was married to her brother, was the first Jones fortune. The first Masonic lodge organized here, the John Jones, was named for this early settler. The first county central committee man was Bill Landre. The territory he represented was what is now the Second ward. Thomas, the first Tauce representative in the Illinois legislature, introduced the civil rights bill and secured its passage in 1887.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 2. —Declaring that people who laugh at the daily chats of Amos 'n' Andy over the radio are laughing themselves into semislavery, as it was part of the extensive system of furthering segregation by making the Race seem indifferent to its disparagement, said Rt. Rev. William J. Walls of Chicago, presiding bishop of the New England A. M. E. Zion conference, Thursday, at the three-day session of the Youth and Workers congress held at Rush A. M. E. Zion church. The Bishop said Amos and Andy give a daily exasperation and over-education, increasing unpleasant element of the Race. "The movement of segregation and aversion to the black man is shrewdly maneuvers in politics, economics, publicity, the stage, the press and now the radio. His sacred songs are serious and constructive settings, his sufferings are laughed at, his clamors for justice winked at, and his whole cause is for game-makers and joy-mongers.

As further prescribed by the court-martial findings, 41 others will go to prison for life. A few received shorter sentences. Of the 63 tried five were acquitted. Hardly in the history of the American army is found a parallel of this tragical chapter. The men who have suffered death were guilty of disobedience of orders, and of lawless conduct, and of killing civilians. They were as guilty of murder as are the white lynchers of Texas who go unpunished. Justice and military discipline required that the extreme penalty be exacted. Probably with the military court procedure no fault can fairly be found. The judgment can be accepted as righteous and the execution as necessary. Nevertheless, the 24th regiment of Negro infantry of the regular army has a long general record of efficiency and constancy which this gloomy episode may hardly impair. During the time when a battalion of the organization was in garrison at Fort Porter in this city, never was a complaint of misconduct heard. As far as deportment is concerned, never did any troops stationed here preserve a cleaner slate. There is no doubt that in the minds of the soldiers who mutinied at Houston passion and bitter resentment were stirred by continual abusive aggression by whites as low in the intellectual if not in the common social scale. The states have authority within their territory. They may allow Texans to lynch a Negro because he is black, Georgians to lynch a Jew because of his race. But the uniform of the United States army should everywhere in the United States have both protection and respect, whatever be the race or color or creed of the wearer, and, especially in this time of great war, the whole civil and military power of the nation should, if needful, be exercised to insure such protection and respect—From the Buffalo Courier, Dec. 12, 1917. HAD A GOOD NAME HERE It is not so long since the 24th infantry was quartered in Buffalo. That Negro regiment was not only tolerated by its white neighbors at Port Porter, but it grew to be populer here. Its baptism reached the police of Port Porter. Its bravery and respect for its sportsmanship. Buffalo was sorry to see the 24th leave and ever since has regarded it as a local institution, to be cherished in memory next after the immortal 13th regiment for a Buffalo paper, the Enquirer, writing such "clothed nonsense" as this: "That German propagandists may not be successful In using the cue given by The Buffalo Express in its comments on the punishment of the Negro soldiers who shot up Houston, Tex, it is advisable to recapitulate that unfortunate event." "As the result of the arrest of a Negro soldier by a Houston policeman wild reports circulated throughout the camp. A large number of Negro soldiers seized arms and headed for the city. They overrode the white officers and killed them. They were killed by other regiment who attempted the same good service. The mutinous soldiers used their rifles indiscriminately, killing and wounding many wholly innocent persons. These Negro soldiers were regulars and therefore fully acquainted with the acts of their acts. They committed mutiny and wholesale murder. As it turned out, the rumors that excited them were gross exaggerations of what actually occurred. Had the reports only related the truth the mutiny and murder would not have been justifiable or excusable, but the regiment would have been guilty of Negro regulars. Whoever condones that wild rampage of mutiny and murder encourages repetitions of it. Whenever extinutes it incites disposition to consider the punishment of grievance. These mutineers and murderers were tried, not by a Texas jury, but by a federal court. The Texas justice, but regular army justice. They had a fair trial, not by a civil court of a state in which race prejudice is strong, but by army officers. Pro-Germans will doubtless try to use the punishment imposed to incite anger among the Negro troops and the people. They should not have company among loyal Americans, The Express recently printed the result of an investigation into this fair by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in its own place. It showed how the General of the New York City was the first time to hold stores of the Negro, being goaded into desperation by white ruthers, some of whom in this instance wore the police uniform. The black soldiers, moreover, do not appear to have received proper protection from some of their white officers. The Express comments of yesterday. We reproduce them for the sake of contrasting them with the Enquirer's version of them. Here they are: THESE ARE THE ALL SOLDIERS IN THE REGULAR ARMY, MEN OF THE VEGRO RACE. WE HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY WHITE MEN BEING PUNISHED FOR THAT RIOT, THOUGH MEMBERS OF THE HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE UNDER SUSPENSION AT LAST ACCOUNTS. NOR IS IT LIKELY THAT ANY WILL BE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE INDUSTRY, PRIVILEGES IN TEXAS WHICH ARE DENIED TO BLACK SOLDIERS.

MARTIAL LAW AND CIVIL JUSTICE From the Pusble (Colo.) Chieftain, Dec. 14, 1917. The people of the United States will generally approve of the sentences that were imposed on the members of the Colored regiment who mutinied at Houston, Tex. At the same time the people of the country will demand that the acts of the Negroes in Houston be punished. The Negroes in East St. Louis a few weeks before the occurrence at Houston. If anything, the acts of the white people in East St. Louis were far more grave than the acts of the Negroes in Houston. In no manner was either the Negroes in Houston or the Negroes in East St. Louis inflicting a sure and quick punishment on the Negroes. If the civil population in East St. Louis fail to inflict a similar punishment on the men who were guilty of those murders and crimes, it will only go to show that our government falls down in certain circumstances, and it will only go to incarcerate the people. It would have been far better so far as the general feeling is concerned to have executed the white men in East St. Louis and not executed the Negroes in Houston, because the white people are supposed to be better educated and better citizens from the fact that they have had a greater The Colored regiment of which these members are a part has had a peculiar history in American national life. It was this regiment that went into the thick of the fight in San Juan and saved Colonel Roosevelt's regiment from total annihilation; later it was this regiment whose members were dishonorably discharged; a little over a year ago it was this regiment that fought the only battle that was fought in old Mexico when we were trying to capture Villa, and many of the Colored boys who were arrested and convicted at the recent court-martial were the same ones who went for 72 hours without food and water on the hot sands of the Mexican deserts. The regiment was sent to Mexico in August came the mutiny with its murders and final chapter which was written yesterday. On the dash on the field of battle and in bravery these men have not been excelled anywhere by American troops, but when off the field of battle and another element in their natures are aroused, they are hideous in the commitment of crime. America feels grateful to them for what they did on the San Juan and in old Mexico, but America cannot understand why they are under the influence of liquor and are proud in their petty passions. Notwithstanding all this, fair play in American demands that every white man who was connected with the murder of a Negro in East St. Louis should pay the same price that has been paid by the Negroes for the Houston affair. If the East St. Louis murderser go unpunished, or, if they already exist and it will cause the Negro to justly feel that his people do not get a square deal in the final adjustment of matters pertaining to government. The execution of 13 Negroes will go a long way toward putting a stop to mutiny in any regiment in our national service. The execution of that man or a few more white people will be a great victory. If the罪犯s that are started by white hoodlums, none of them are as respectable as the Negroes whom they persecute. The officials of Illinois must feel the disgrace which the East St. Louis affair brought on them very keenly. There is just one way to erase that disgrace from the execution of the doorstep of Illinois. That way, the Negroes will be able to take those who were responsible out and hang them without any more ceremony, useless red tape or dilly-dallying than was shown their brothers in crime in Texas. Why Mail Is Lost The moving season is again with us. More than half a million changes of address were filed with the Chicago postoffice during the past year, according to Postmaster Arthur S. Lueder, but there were many thousands who moved who did not notify the postoffice, with the result that many pieces of first-class mail and parcel post remained undelivered and great quantities of circular matter . and newspapers were returned or destroyed. If you move notify the postoffice, giving the old and new addresses. Blanks for this purpose may be obtained from the carrier, or an ordnance officer. Boomers should have mail addressed in care of the person whose name appears upon the mail box. Subscribers should remember to notify the publisher of a change of address so that they may continue to receive their publications without interruption. The old as well as new addresses should be furnished in every instance.

Ben J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent and president of the National Negro Press association, presided. The opening gesture of welcome to the delegates was extended by Judge W.

The report was adopted and then followed discussions on some of the problems facing the newspaper owners. Mr. Advertising, who was solicited by the U.S. People's News and hostess to the delegates, offered an amendment to the constitution to destroy the power of proxy.

These present not mentioned above Maywood Pastor Is Honored at Services Maywood Pastor Is Honored at Services MAYWOOD, Ill., May 2—Dr. George W. Taft, president of the Northern Baptist seminary of Chicago and recognized by the white Baptists of the Middle West as one of their most competent leaders, spoke at Second Baptist church here Sunday morning. Many of the outstanding denominational leaders of the other race appeared on the program. The afternoon was known as Pilgrim's day, at which time the pastor, Dr. William Maywood, his congregation were present. The Second Baptist church had an overflow meeting, due to the fact that the Maywood returned in large numbers. It was sold by many to have the largest attendance at Second Baptist church, and the living the life of the church. Dr. Austin, as usual, reflected much credit to himself and to the great church of the Middle West in which he presented the gospel. Tuesday night marked the conclusion of these services in the reception and banquet room, the honor of his wife, W. C. Cormier, his wife. Members of both races patched a great tribute to the pastor and his wife. The people of Maywood boast of having the mostique parsonsage of having the mostique parsonsage of having the mostique parsonsage. It is very inspiring to the church, the manner in which the new minister has equipped the church office and assumed the task of co-operating with the entire constituency of Maywood.

Wm.O.Davis Fights Odd Fellows Case WASHINGTON, May 2. — Charles E. Robinson, attorney for William O. Davis, has attacked the indictment charging his client with the embezzlement of $4,135 from the Odd Fellows Hall association. In a plea in abatement filed by Mr. Robinson last Thursday in the District supreme court, 14 reasons are set forth why the indictment against Davis should be quashed. Mr. Robinson alleges that the grand jury was illegally and improperly drawn. The jury commissioners did not write the names of prospective jurors on separate and similar pieces of paper and then fold or roll the paper so that the names could not be seen, he declares. The names were not placed in the jury box in accordance with law, he also says. The jury commissioners in drawing the prospective jurors did not publicly break the seals of the jury box and draw the names from it, he states, but the seal was broken and the names drawn in the privacy of the jury commissioners room. The names of the grand jurors were selected by a clerk and not by the commissioner, the commissioner, he says, separately inspected and approved the list of prospective jurors, but did not in a formal meeting draw and approve the names and place the names in the court. During the proceedings before the grand jury an unauthorized person was present in the grand jury room, Robinson states. He names John R. Hawkins, a former state senator, who was acting as bailiff for the grand jury. The presence of women on the grand jury is also a basis of attack. Robinson states that which returned the indictment against Davis were women. There is no authority in the law for service of women on grand juries, Mr. Robinson states, that no person shall be disqualified for service as a juror or a jury commissioner on account of sex, but that provision is inapplicable to grand jurors to be members of the grand jury." The indictment against Davis contained 22 counts, charging embezzlement, theft, and $243.30 to $294.60 in different months in 1927 and 1928. Davis, a lawyer, with offices at 611 F St. N, W, was the Odd Fellows Hall association. The coroner's jury which heard the statements of witnesses at the inquest into the death of Alexander Barnes, 6123 E.

God is punctual to his word, Humble prayers is what he heard, After years of faithful waiting. For centuries past I was knocked and cuffed. And I was kissed upon by southern "whites"; For fifty years they had me bluffed And robbed me of my "rights." Thousands now are going North, From Georgia and below; And fifty years they affords the greatest drought That we've ever had before. Oh! praise the Lord, cach house and And have a glorious dance; What a blessing it is for our people If they would take a chance. The South declared, in bloody figures, To reject me as a neighbor.

Anyone doing the work I do Is paid four dollars per day; But I must lie, and steal some, too, To get one-half that pay. Then they pay me with trashy mess, And cheat me in the deed; Then they pay me for less, And arrest me when I steal. If a thousand whites work at a place each one there is my "boss";. They've taken a grudge against my face. They drive me like a horse. I am a Negro, and I know it. I do not just just stand in white. A loyal citizen and I've shown it. But they won't treat me right.

Upon our return from the boardroom in January 1929, I held a long conference with Auditor Pleirson in his office relative to the events of the 1929 fires. He read with interest every line of my first article, and agreed with me that something must be done to prevent the fires from happening. U. S. 'A.', Inc., from disruption and shame.

Rumor that President Williams Was Short $800 It was Auditor Plerson that told me of this alleged shortage in the president's accounts. He said that he had been over long distance from Chicago, Ill., and asked him to concern himself about this $500 runner, and Plerson said he had to have to work on his book before he could attend the nineteen at the board meeting in Memphis, Tennessee, in February, 1530, that I got my information from Auditor, E. Plerson, and Professor Plerson was over the time that I gave the information. That Unofficial Committee The position that President Williams took relative to this committee at Tampa, Fin., December, 1929, disputed auditor Pleerson, according to a letter he sent to the office upon our return from the Tampa meeting. There is no question that Williams had mistreated him by appointing a committee to investigate rumors about him and then claiming the official committee, Pleerson said to me that he "intended to bring suit for damages," but I told him that he could not be accused of being responsible for the official committee, and if the committee was not an official committee, and if the committee was not responsible for the expenses of the committee, neither the investigations made, and would not in any degree that however be responsible for the official committee, and if the committee Pleerson that in defense of the convention that I would be forced to take the unwise administration of Dr. L.

At the congress meeting in Brooklyn, N.Y., Auditor Pierson and myself roomed together. In fact, I made the arrangement for Pierson's entertainment and others. At that time he, Pierson, discussed with me the rumor that it cost Olivet Baptist church $14,000 to elect Dr. L. K. Williams president of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc., in St. Louis, MO, and in the case of the reason that I kept askim, Dr. Williams to please explain to the public how he was elected president in St. Louis, because of this conversation relative to this rumor of the $14,000. Pierson told me that he was a decon of Olivet church and knew of its affairs. This conversation relative to this $14,000 caused me to watch Dr. L. K. Williams at the Fort Worth meeting on our national convention, and when the vote was passed, I heard the Auditor Pierson this $14,000 I said to myself from now on I shall watch very closely the actions of President Williams. And his actions at the national convention in Detroit, Mich., and since, caused me to believe that a change should be made in the administration of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc. Too Much Power Given the President Too Much Power Given the President I pray God that you will see the wisdom of my conviction, and that you will give giving too much power to President L. K.

Does it involve with the president and share I truly hope that you will prevail in this committee to investigate Dr. E. W. D. Isaac and his board, and that he be called to meet that committee.

Chicagoans Hear White on Parker Continued from Page 3 rights of our race which will naturally come before the supreme court in the United States. Judge Parker on the bench is a slap in the face of all citizens not white, and one which is bitterly resented. We are not so united on any issue. Without regard to party affiliations or any other form of demarcation, they are closely aligned. We will vote. If there are senators who imagine that voters will not remember how they vote on the Parker case, they are that they are in for a rude awakening. "The extent to when the administration has exerted itself in the effort to get this manifestly medico-legal pressure which is being brought to bear upon the people. For example, Mabel Willebrandt, best remembered for urging the Moschist church to enter politics, spent 20 minutes on the long distance telephone from the University of Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors of the Advocencement association, trying to contain not a dangerous person so far as the liberties of the Race are concerned. Miss Willebrandt's efforts and the call from Washington to New York were wasted, however, for she was told firmly by Miss Ovington that she should not be stationed of the Race, who seek to save the United States from a justice of the supreme court who does not be allowed to anew an uphold. "We suppose there is no impropriety, in a strict legal sense. In the certain powers upon state, city and other bar associations and upon the certain powers upon the dorso Judge Farker. Yet one may be permitted to wonder if the American people want their federal officers to money campaigning to get a private citizen, who is manifestly unit, elective and associate justice of the United States supreme court. We do not doubt that some of the indorsers of Judge Farker, who are under pressure from the admissibility because they approve Judge Farker, but because they fear to incur the emmity or the disfigurement of the admissibility whom they may have to practice. "This is a grim, relentless struggle to ensure that the administration is working harder on this issue than on any other which has arisen since Presidential election, a chronic circumstance that the brunt of the fight in this matter rests upon the president, and the United States supreme court from a man of mediocre ability, and more, one who has counselled violation of two important amendments to the Constitution."

Among the senators actively supposing D. Fess, Republican, of Ohio, and F. I. Gillett, Republican, of Connecticut. In his speech, Senator D. Fess I. Gillett, Parker's stand on the race question, declared: "I differ absolutely with Judge Parker. I agree with him on an opinion. Regretting as I do that there should be on the supreme bench a man whose opinions differ from those of the men in the whole South who either the president or the senate would think fit on the bench who would not support him. Judge Parker on that question." The question now for Senator Gillibert to answer, declared one member of the committee to place a man on the supreme court bench when he knows beforehand that the question involving two of the most widely abused amendments to our Constitution, 15th and 15th Amendments, he were defending he would not place a person on the jury who was prefigured against his client, the speaker declared. Threaten Voters An interesting development in the Parker fight was the information that white Republican workers of North Carolina are threatening Race voters of that state to force their involvement in the fight. Gardner has received a telegram from the N. A. A. C. P. asking him to protect these voters from Ku Klux Klan. Senator Moses of New Hampshire has received a petition from 19 members of the faculty of Dartmouth college to oppose Judge Parker's continued opposition to Judge Parker's continuation. Whether the Senate confirms or rejects the nomination of Judge Parker will be against his confirmation will be beneficial to the Race politically, say political leaders here. He is to the White House and advised the president of the reluctance of Republican regulars to vote for confirmation of the nominee of the war in Iraq, the polls by fire voters in the coming senatorial elections.

O'KELLY Counsellor-at-Law Mechanics & Farmers Bank. Bldg. 13 E. Hargett S., Raleigh, N.C. Chicago Citizens Head World in Business --- The world-famed South side of Chicago of today, where the greater portion of our population of more than 200,000 citizens reside, and where the home of the Defender is located, in 1905 was inhabited by white people. Our population in 1905 when the first issue of the Defender was released was estimated at a little more than 30,000 people. The business activities of our citizens at that time were devoted largely to individual concerns which were common to the Defender business. Steadily since 1905 this population has enlarged both its size and economic standing, along with the growth and expansion of the Defender business, working porters on the many railroad lines running out of Chicago, and other personal services tasks which these people earned a livelihood. When the Defender began its rapid entrance into southern homes Editor Abbott launched his appeal to his readers, who were already familiar with the United States to come North, where they could enjoy all their rights as native American citizens. This appeal is credited with riding greatly above our population in our population in Chicago. The 1910 United States census placed our population in Chicago at 264,000 people in 10 years. Chicago's Race population began to gain fast on that of New York city in 1920 when the city's population reached 109,504 people. The 1920 census revealed an increase of 65,431, or an increase of 64,914, or an increase of 109,504. The 1920 United States census figures have not been officially released, but our population today in Chicago is conservatively placed at 250,000. With the population ever growing by leaps and bounds following the 1918, there was noticed developments in the economic and business fields. Barber shops, poolrooms, cafe and underwater restaurants, later petroleum and business places. Thrifty workers who had saved their earnings during the days of high waves which existed during the World war began to purchase the land and business endeavors which had been considered the white man's fields. Garages, oil filling stations, music stores, and other business enterprises began to appear. Today instead of being located in one certain area, the residences and businesses found extending on Chicago's South side from 12th St. to 69th St. and from Halsted St. to Cottage Grove St. to 69th St. covers nine and one-half miles, extending north and south, and the territory varies from three to six miles, extending north and south. Outside of this area are found densely settled sections inhabited by our people. In the Englewood district more than ten thousand people are located in the southern end of the city is located the suburb of Morgan Park, where a well-established community, with more than five thousand home owners reside. Specialville have five thousand more of our people. The oldest established colony of our people in Chicago is found on the North Lake St. Lake St. California Ave. and Ashland Blvd. In this area reside more than ten thousand people, with numerous well-established businesses, twenty thousand people in the W. 14th St. district. There are also many other sections throughout the great midwestern city where our people are The acquisition of territories and properties during the past ten years has been a major advance in our business and economic life in Chicago. Our progress in business since 1918 in Chicago has been marked by the history of the city. There are more than fifteen hundred businesses in operation today on the South side, and more than 100 other businesses in the establishment of other enterprises. Carroll Binder, white staff writer of the Chicago Daily News, in 1927 wrote that "the Negro Newegro," declared: "The new status of the Negro in metropolitan Chicago has been achieved by his power." The statement of Mr. Binder is proven by the manner in which our people in Chicago pull together in support of their institutions and en- The first evidences of economic strength are bank accounts. The State Banks, the State Sts, and the Douglass National bank at 36th and State Sts, have more than $3,500,000 on deposit with almost all the races.

Many financiers place the total bank deposits of our people in Chicago at more than $60,000,000. **Buyers of Real Estate** The real estate holdings of our population are placed at more than $400,000,000 in value. Many of the property owners represented in this valuation secured their homes and houses for investments after years of saving and sacrifice. Despite heavy incumbrances on their properties and many unscrupulous real estate dealers of both races, the buyers by almost seeming miracle have been able in the majority of cases to retain title to their homes until clear of debts. Sixty large churches of many denominations, with a total property valuation of $400,000, are insured by our population. In competition with white concerns and gaining rapid headway are eight insurance companies. All of these companies are active in Chicago at the same time, one of them one. These eight companies have written more than $200,000,000 of insurance. All of dollars of the insurance companies have written more than $200,000,000 of insurance on South side citizens. Our life insurance companies give full and part-time employment to more than fifteen hundred persons of their Race, who completely manage and carry on the office and field work. In 1925 the combined payroll of seven of the companies was placed at $598,508. A premium income of $916,840 was reported by the concerns in 1925. The total income was placed at $1,197,126; disbursements were placed at $1,053,139; gross assets, $773,797; admitted assets, $714,458, and the surplus reserve amounted to $493,036. The 1925 business in force was placed at $13,648,362. Policyholders in 1925 received more than $221,976 in claims from the companies. Ald has been given to holders of policies by several of the companies in the form of first mortgages on their real estate and homes. Few Business Failures "Phenomenal growth of Negro business in recent years must, therefore, be taken as indication that Negroes can succeed in business, such an extent that they can compete with whites for patronage. In a race with so short an experience in business, will be a certain number of failures arising out of limited capital and skill, but the percentage of Negro failures is much higher" *Alfred C. Carroll Binder*, white journalist, after a study of the economic situation on the South side. The newspaperman found young people of both sexes capable of professions and vocations. Each business enterprise, regardless of its size and importance, employed young workers, many of whom are the best schools in the United States. Many manufacturing companies owned and manned by our people are located on the South side and many on the North side. Many concerns are not only supported by their own people, but by white buyers who desire their products. There are many concerns with high standing not only in Chicago, but throughout the nation. Several of these enterprises are quite successful in million dollar division in Bradstreet. Chicago Heads World "Chicago has become in the last decade one of the great business centers of the Negro race, surpassing many, which is larger in population," states W. H. Bolton, who made a study and survey of the business situation in this year, a postgraduate at the University of Chicago. "This growth has been made almost entirely during the past decade and the number of new businesses have been launched by southern Negroes who came to this city during the great migration of the World war and the postwar period." The extent and diversity of our business enterprise in Chicago is manifest in the following tabulation made by The Chicago Defender. Since the emergence of concerns have been successfully started.

These parks and buildings are all located in close proximity to our community, and by the coming of these millions of visitors who will not only buy our wares but will take a message of our progress leaders, who in the knowledge that the South side which we inhabit is the highest valued bit of earth in the world, are making but progress unseen. Defender to Counsel The Defender, which has guided while keeping pace with the gains of its people's business life, predicts that the next decade will bring forth a new generation of leaders that will last ten years. This publication, under the able direction of its owner and publisher, Robert S. Abbott, will continue its policy of encouraging civic-in business, civic and social matters. It will continue its policy also of urging our people to grasp every opportunity of securing employment in the workforce of any particular race or group, but as American citizens.

Oh, the flowers are blooming in Dixie. The skies are as blue as can be. And the cotton is bursting with soft-just as far as the vision can see. It's a wonderful place to be happy. With the bands at twilight in June, white skies are dancing their breakdowns. By the light of a soft southern moon. They dance, though their hearts may be shattering. They laugh with their eyes full of tears. While their souls burn with righteous resentment. At the battle of justice of years. Dixie's thefa, so why should they leave it? The taters, the cotton, the corn. All tended by hands brown and loving. Since the day that the southland was born. Jim-crowed, segregated, disfranchised, fighting hard to hold fast what you've won. And this, meath the folds of the banner. That they helped to keep clean from the Hun. How soon is forgotten their courage, the saffron tare that they made; The debt Uncle Sam is still owing. To the Race, that can never be paid. Oh, the flowers are blooming in Dike. As they ought to be blooming today in the heart of each Race man and woman. To drive all the heartache away. What need the heart in the south isn't frangible.

Principles of Douglass Good Enough Principles of Douglass Good Enough Political leaders seeking to entrench themselves by suggesting and adding in the establishment of racial barriers in the establishment of organizations are heading toward destruction. It was Frederick Douglass, the former slave, abolitionist, statesman and orator who so vigorously warned against the use of violence. If those who favor or even condone divisions within the party think they are leading the people right, they need only to consider the new being drawn by the major parties. It is not uncommon for important committees of the Republican party to assemble with other members of the party to campaign the headquarters from which the affairs that have to do with our people directly are separate and that which deals with other groups. Today we have Jim Crow committees, jily-write boards and their kindred organizations scattered throughout the country in the days of Fred Douglass. It will be a wise move if our leaders regardless of their party, would back to the club, regardless, hands in the party council. Strive to sit in on the managing committees along with members of all other groups and found a place for party leaders of other races to direct from behind closed doors, where discussions of which we have no knowledge takes place. An individual personally to be head of the "National Headquarters for Negroes," but it works to the detriment of the Race as a whole, and keeps alive the party leaders. Yet time party leaders should get back on the right track!

They have seen the great American pastime of lynching reach its greatest heights, and dwindle to the lowest ebb it has reached in 50 years; they have seen the Race win recognition, not only in local, but in national government; they have seen men murdered for the principle of justice, and have seen other men sent to prison for daring to thwart justice. They have seen a racial group come from the lowest depth of the scale of life to the highest pitch. They have seen wars and have heard rumors of wars—in all of which the great American citizenry figured prominently. And in this great change we have come nearer and nearer to the great realization that all men are created equal—that anything worth having is worth the struggle necessary to attain it. Defender fights plans for J. States. Hannah Walker, rich New York Gov. Frank O. Lowden vetoes this bill would have prohibit lynchings in the United States, but he had decided to have been murdered.

Before the fain in 1893 there was very little prejudice within or between the races. At the time Race members were first elected county commissioner and town commissioner there were more than 2,000 people; by far too few to elect a county or town official if race lines had been as tightly drawn then as they are today. Immediately after the fair conditions changed. The first noticeable influx of members of our group commenced about that time or a few years ago. But less we forget, it might be well to recall here another of our Race who held a county post "away back when". He was Charles H. Jackson, a mountainist. Jack more than 60 years ago he was a county visitor under John Deeden. Jackson's granddaughter, Mrs Gertrude Jackson, 3664 Maidenhead, active member of the Old Settlers club. Chicago's first fire company, composed of members of our Race was the firemenbers were Martin Brown, Wilson Mankins, Stephen Paine, George Adams, and Henry Petitbridge. A white captain was in charge of the unit. The firehouse was on 12th St. Watkins is believed to have been the first engineer, Mankins, the first lieutenant, and Richard Ceasar, in charge of the fire of his Race. Capt Joseph C. Wickliffe of Engineer company No. 19 has been with the department 38 years. He is the point of service with the department. Long Our First Policeman Members of our Race have been connected with the police department since 1876, when Rodney Long Champlain Ave. retired, is the oldest living policeman. He was appointed in 1887. According to him he was the first of the Race to be promoted to police officer. Champlain Ave. Greene was demoted to a patrolman when the city administration changed in 1892. He was retired a patrolman. Greene was one of the only two Race policemen assigned to Stanton Ave. station when it was opened in 1883. There he was a police officer. Collins, who later became chief of police, Greene said, used to travel with him. Greene broke Collins in the street. Other policemen on the force along with Long and Greene were John Fletcher, who later became a fireman, Joseph Shreve, who was a police officer, Randolph Smith, at present secretary to the chief of police, a position he has held for 40 years; William E. Green, Alur Beech and another William "Bill" Smith. William F. Childs, the first member of the Race to serve as desk sergeant, was also the first to become a member under Mayor Carter Harrison. Wilson Jones also was one of the early policemen, but only Philip Greene is here to relate the tales. The State St. station, Greene said, only six families of our Race lived within the area bounded by 31st and 39th Sts, and State St. and the lake. The kinson family was the first to move into the territory. Mrs. Mary E. Davenport of 321 W. 55th St. was the first police matron, and Davenport swived two years under Mayor Swift and one under Mayor Harrison. Her work, Mrs. Davenport said, was with wayward girls of the ages of 16 to 24, far superior to that of the old Harrison St. station. Speaking of her, old-timers say, "Mrs. Davenport served with ardor and dignity far superior to that of the department. She did well long stand in the memory of those who watched her toll as well as the hundreds of women, who as girls go on course by this remarkable woman." We are now arriving at a period when many of the persons who figure in our political, religious, social and business life of today were getting bored. ```markdown ``` George T. Kersey, the undertaker, had just come to town from Ontario, Cigna, but he was reared. That man, James B. Burch, he was paid $6 a week, was a waiter at the Arcade on Clark St. between Madison and Monroe St. door to the original House of David. In 1890 Kersey began his 25-year stretch at the postoffice, after which he joined the late Daniel Jackson in the office of the death of Jackson's father, Emmanuel Jackson. David McGowan, who was born here 33 years ago, joined him in 1900. He worked for two and a half years, when he and Kersey withdrew, and with Morsell, formed the establishment of Kersey, McGowan & Morrell, which was located for the past 12 years. Mr. McGowan has been president of the Old Folk's home for 20 years. He was under his administration in 1439-33 Vincennes Ave. was purchased. Two Presidents at Quinn Kersey has served three regular terms as a member of the legislature, and served at three special sessions. He and Attorney Morris have served by the Defender about early Chicago, but only Mr. Morris recalled the Constitutional convention in 1870, that being 18 years before Mr. Kersey was elected, one of the old members of Quinn, the mother church of Chicago. Many are the distinguished visitors who have spoken from Quinn's platform, two presidents, both of whom addressed Quinn audiences while in office. They were William B. McKinney and two presidents, both of whom addressed Quinn audiences while in office. The last public speech McKinney made was delivered at Quinn. On the Sunday before he was to speak at the exposition in Buffalo, he was to speak at Quinn Chapel. He went directly to his hotel and entrained for Buffalo. The next day while on his way to the exposition grounds before he made any formal public utterance. Bishop A. J. Carey introduced President Roosevelt, who was appointed. Seven other Roberts introduced President Taft, also President Theodore Roosevelt when he . Senator Roberts, as was the late Attorney George Ellis, was a close friend of Roosevelt. Attorney Ellis, who had in possession the most brittle man in his day, was appointed to the Liberian legation by President Roosevelt. He was associated in the practice with Attorney Richard Westbrooks, a fellow of the profession today, who still operates under the firm name Ellis & Westbrooks. When Quinn Chapel sold its property near the city of New York block and bought its present location, Rev. John T. Jenifer was the pastor. Kersey and the Defender celebrate the same date for their birthday anniversary. He was born May 6, 1866, and the Defender, May 6, 1865. He said he has read the World's Greatest Weekly ever since it first "hit" the streets. "The growth of the Defender has been a phenomenal. Mr. Kersay said, "and I have read the book according to organizing ability of its editor, Robert S. Abbott." There has been much difference of opinion as to who was the first male captain of the earliest record Cassius J. King was the first. He is said to have been born in 1847 at Harrison St. and Fourth Street, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. King. Since 1800 the Race in Chicago has moved forward so rapidly that the world has been startled. No other player has been so successful who, like Edward H. Morris, according to Col. William R. Cowan, rose from a struggling young lawyer, with the help of a member of his Race among 200,000 or more in a community like ours. Nor has a DePriest been discovered in any other group. Again, using the old vowans as the authority, DePriest in 1896, DePriest in 1897, and calciner (he was not a decorator), did some work for me. Shortly afterwards he entered local politics and within less than a generation has roughened his way to the halls of a remarkable thing: DePriest, elected in 1915, was our first alderman. Colonel Cowan, a Kentuckian, who came here in 1830, is one of the city's most colorful figures. He gained his first office in 1831 when it was under the leadership of Major Buckner and Col. Marshall. Colonel Cowan, though he never chose to be a soldier, was always aware of the opportunities he lived for 1841 until 1896 at 173 Third Ave. In 1882 he purchased the property at 3325 Giles Ave, which he improved two years later. He moved into the house at the Giles address after his marriage in 1896. Edward H. Wright, considered by many to be the peer of all Race politicians, enjoyed a position of assistance with the White men he succeeded him as the South side boss. Old time politicians say that when Wright, who incidentally is said to have possessed more of the qualifications of leadership than any of his peers, and the united strength of the Race vote with him. When he withdrew from the regular organization and was subsequently "unhorsed" by the White men, his split and has sinister remained so. Start Real Estate Boom Wright is credited with having demanded the inclusion of Albert Bailley George's name on the municipal bill to allow the vote was more or less solid. It is said that ward committeemen were forced to carry George lest the big stick of 100,000 or more votes would be directed against their candidates, but it was pointed out. George's excellent record is expected to bring victory to him. At this moment, tabulators are working on the vote canvas to determine if he is or is not George, of course, was our first tudor. With the passing of the saloon and the redlight district, the Race began to interest itself seriously in homes, where itself were invested in real estate. Today no city in the world can boast of a Race population living in such homes home to thousands of people depicted by the Chicago census of Color. In 1880, old-timers say, no one ever dreamed that a member of our Race would be wealthy; but today there are hundreds whose bank accounts or holdings reach the five figure proportions. Planning up the story of our activities it appears that, while the Race has advanced steadily and substantially ever since the first Black man put foot on Chicago soil, yet the Race has secured comfortable and sanitary homes; in educational advancement; in professional fields and in politics; are the four outstanding general causes during the past 25 years, and the influence of The Chicago Defender in promoting all of these, makes its inception the history of the greatest single achievement in the history of the race. In so far as our Race is concerned. Columbus Cemetery Receives Prison Dead COLUMBUS. O. May 2—A grave 75 feet in length and 6 feet wide green cemetery to receive unclaimed bodies of Race convicts who lost their lives in the Ohio penitentiary. However, there were only two bodies buried in the Jim Crow cemetery. No ceremonies and blowing of trumpets accrue them in demonstration, however, in Lily-white cemeteries where ministers of many faiths and various organizations cook food and provide services. The bodies of Robert Brown 26, of Lucas, and Dempsew Brown 41, of Hamilton, were lowered in the ground under the direction of J. Williams, manager of the cemetery. Aviatrix A. Pioneer aviatrix of her race, who was plunged to an untimely death on the 26th of October, the 26-year-old flyers airplane fell 2,500 feet, instantly killing her and her mechanic. Miss Coleman took the plane to many and Holland from some of the best European flyers shortly after the crash, whose unhands attended her funeral, which held in Chicago, her home. The Defender was the first Chicago newspaper to pay her death. Extensive bulletins were distributed throughout the city. THE WEEK 1900, Chicago Defender, by B. S. Abbott Publishing Co. All rights reserved. WENTY-FIVE years old from him by birth, he now at 3153 State Street, Chicago quite a young man now living in his own home at 3435 Indiana Ave., the same city. That is The Chicago Defender and like all young- hoods of sacrifices and made success, nothing is more fitting than to have a 25TH birthday celebration. Battling against odds, this institu- tion has business, following the policy shaped by its founder, who is still the editor and publisher, and has grown to the mouthpiece today of nearly 20,000,000 people and read in every land. Like everything else that had an humble beginning, there are those who have been connected with it who have done their part. Time will tell, and will memory allow us to forget them. The passing away of John H iley Smith takes from Chicago a well known and well loved sanctuary. When the tale of me was told, I was placed after the lines tell of mingled joys and sorrow failure and achievements, it is human custom to recount the life of him who has gone to bourne from which no t eler returns. Reviewing the career of J Hooker, I see one so of good that the failures, the steps perhaps become neglig quantities. When one recalls the life of the deep appreciation benefits received, one feels memories will not soon erase Each day about the editorial rooms something happens that recalls to us the INDEMIC action on their part that makes us who are left stop to think that some day the Grim Reaper will cut us down and we ask HAVE we so shaped our lives that we will remember on the great fight will we remember us? It was Tennyson who wrote, "nail oh for the touch of the can, insisted and sounded of the voice that is still," and it was Whittier who panned the following lines, "How strange it seems with the same—of love and life to still live on." ```markdown ``` THE most missed person in this office today is the late Mrs. Hennetta P. Lee—Daughter Lee she was known to the girls in her home. In the front room, on a card table with a nickel pad of writing paper and a lead pen, she was the first to copy for The Chicago Defender which appeared on the streets on May 5, 1905. Daughter Lee acquired the nomenclature with the Knights and Daughters of Tabor and the Daughter Elks. She was past grand preceptess, Illinois and past grand preceptess, Calhoun and past grand daughter of the Elks of the World; grand worthy councilor of Calhoun, K. or P. or Eastland, because she had untold numbers of fraternal and church friends who came and asked for her as "Daughter Lee," we followed in their footsteps and she seemed willing to allow us to do so. She was a MOTHER to all of the girls and boys and none seemed to be able to her. They were HER "children." We swiped her cookies, used her kitchen, used her gas, cooked lunch on her stove with her utensils. Time was long for hot cup of java and a roll free and went to work scribbling out his copy. We looked upon her as a MOTHER, and, of course, felt that her home room was the office was in her dining room for years. Then The Chicago Defender GREW to such an extent that she moved into a home presented to her by the editor in recognition for LOXALTY and her ENCOURAGEMENT. The Chicago Defender then took over both floors at 3159 State St. and remained there until it moved into its own plant. We advised her that many of us owe our present status in this life. Her going was a shock to us all. She died nearly four years ago. The funeral, one of the largest in this city, was held for her daughter, the oldest employee of the Chicago Defender, is its present cashier. Somewhere in heaven Mother Lea sits today before the throne. A more worthy person never lived. We think Clio's poem when we think of her: Would, Mother, thou couldst hear me tell How I know my mid career, For sins and follies loved too well, Hath fallen the free, reepanant And in the waywardness of youth, How better thoughts have given to me Content with error, love for truth, Mid sweet remembrances of thee. ```markdown ``` BACK to the early days and our memory now drifts to the first managing editor—to the man whose insistence caused the writer to want to become a member of the fourth estate. It was one day on a bleak afternoon in October, back in 1908, the writer drifted into The Chicago Digest, where he read about news he wanted in the paper and from that day on we occasionally on our days off spent the idle time hobbling with the force. He went into the office a young man named John Hockley Smiley. He was the son of one of Chicago's leading caterers, but he had dabbed in the writing game once when the bug bites it leaves its sting. J. Hockley, as he was known to his associates, gave up a well paying job with The Chicago Defender. He was UNASSUMING, quiet, industrious. In due time he was made managing editor, the man managing Hockenberg brought about The Chicago Defender's slogan. One day while talking to Mr. Abbott he said: "Some day I will be able to write weekly" and right away the editor replied, "Well call it that," and today, both the dreams of the editor and Mr. Abbott were realized. Perhaps the greatest tribute to Mr. Smiley is the words beneath his picture, printed following his death in 1915. He has to return to desk work managing editor, Mr. Abbott wrote. "John Hockley Smiley, who six years ago started at the bottom with the Chengli Defender and worked up his skills in the position he held when he passed away, and as such drawing the highest salary of any man of the Race in a like position. So loyal had he been, so careful he was, so careful in paper, that the editor, as a reward, kept him on the pay roll during his entire illness, because when he was at his desk he did not measure his height, but did not work untrightly to the end. He was the greatest newspaper man of the Race and day and there were none, judging from our exchanges, but he made up, beautifying, layout and matter of headlines." There was no typewriter. Smiley wrote his copy in long hand. Hours of work in the newspaper work was not only HIS TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION life's chosen field of endeavor, but it was his HOBY. The editorial following his death. The passing away of John Hockley, a well known and well loved personality. When the tale of mortal life is ended, when a period has passed, when a child of mingled joys and sorrows, failure and achievements, it is a human custom to recount the things that have happened in the life of him who has gone to that "bourne from which no traveller returns." The career of John Hockley Smiley, one sees so much of good that the failures, the mistakes perhaps become negligible, the kindness, the courtesy, the loyalty to friends, the deep appreciation of benefits received, one feels that memories will not soon erase the memory. Material accumulation is never the test of life success. Even a person who has been out that fact. The treasures of truth, of kindness, of honor and of spirit placed in the scapular makes the balance on the right side. And even along the lines of this spiritual accumulation no man can judge his brother. Only He who sees the hidden aspirations which perhaps are never realized, who knows the desperate need to be able to never attained. Because perchance of some weakness or unfavorable environment only He, the all wise, can be the proper judge. In life he must be able to stand John Hockley. Smiley had in dreams his aspirations and made his many effort for their realizations, and stood stances threw their deterrent shadows across his pathway, but those who knew him best saw his high purpose and sharp struggle and felt that he had lived and feel that he has not lived in vain. He was a newspaper man of marked ability and in him the Defender loses a valuable worker and ```markdown ``` AND while memory is fresh we cannot forget Julius Aavendorph, society editor, who passed away in 1923. He was a dedicated and faithful his presence. He was master of ceremony and contributed articles for years on proper dress as well as reporting social activities and oftimes it might be well to know that today HIS SON is employed in the composing room. THE best known contributing editor and editorial writer, foo of Vardaman, Tillman and the rest of the southerners whose attempt to keep the Race in keeping with the ideas of sufficiency was W. Allison Sweeney. Newspaper man of the first degree, sanders and thousands of readers, who weekly look for something from his able pen, he, too, was taken from our sanders and thousands of readers, enough to see The Chicago Defender rises to heights of power and fame. It was Hon. W. Allison Sweeney, author of *The Chicago Defender* and Booker T. Washington, who is his office on Vernon Ave. and later on South Park Ave., in Chicago, after he went to college. He goes over column after column, giving advice learned from years of experience. It was Mr. Sweeney who said, "Now we are born; you can't-make them." ```markdown ``` THE most colorful figure was Frank P. George. Today as when The Chicago Defender goes to press, his words are repeated by those who watch him. "Let's go to press, everybody!" and when the last form was locked up and shoved to the stereotyping table it was "Frank P.ike" as the staff called him. And today "downstairs!" and today "downstairs!" the posing room means that the last page has gone in. There are no words that could come across to readers who have deeply loved "Frank P.ike" to call the staff the "happy family," and besides helping with the exchanges, he would make himself useful at anything. THEOUSANDS of our readers know Princess Mysteria. She was a source of information to those who sought advice in love and business. Her column, the "Advice to the Wise Overseer," was a weekly feature. Except that year, she, too, passed from this world. ```markdown ``` THE passing of of these folks who came into our lives daily causes us to call our readers' attention to the fact that although we are CLEARATING, we PAUSE in MEMORIAM of their little bit, and most of all encouraged many of us to "CARRY ON" in this field of endeavor.

Charge Policeman With Manslaughter West Park. Policeman Thomas Chapman, who shot and killed Salvatore Declanl (white), 19 years old, died in the blast. He was held to the grand jury on charge of manslaughter by a coroner's jury Monday. According to witnesses at the inquest, Declanl in company with six other officers, shot and killed mobile 'Saturday evening when the driver, disregarding the signals at Washington Blvd. and Ashland Ave, passed through the red lights. Chapman fired on the car, the bullet hit the window and striking the young man in the temple. He died instantly. Chapman is well known on the West side, where he directed a group of popular singers. He was also a stuntman and a policeman. The policeman said he was extremely sorry and that he fired what he considered a wild shot into the air to stop the car. He was in some new legislation, it was pointed out. Much wrangling and quibbling was in evidence as representatives of the family and the policeman sought to determine whether a policeman has the right to automobiles-passing lights. Bill Assures New York City Two Race Judges Assemblyman Rivers is from the Student at U.of C. Discusses "Kitties" Isaac Clark, a student at the University of Chicago, is responsible for the following article, which appeared in a recent issue of the Daily Marcon, student publication. The article explains itself. Because of the unusual twists it itakes, it is being reprinted in a new edition. It has have a wider circulation than it has already received, and in order that Defender readers may get better acquainted with some young members of the place who are in our northern colleges. As a child I used to play "Kitty Wants a Corner." The game consists of several bases or corners, each of which is occupied. One person, the Kitty, stands in the center and the others trade places. The point of the game is to exchange so hurriedly that the Kitty cannot get a corner. He goes from one to the other appealing, "Kitty wants a corner," to which he is answered, "Next door neighbor." I have often played this game; grew hilarious as I kept the Kitty fun. Now out here at the university I feel like I am playing the same old game. But it is not such fun, for I am the Kitty and strive in vain to get a corner. I rush to excel in one field, but it is taken; I apply for a position in the university; there another man is assigned; I seek athletic prowess, but come up a panting second. I used too much energy, the victor was sleeping soundly. Even as I write, a sense of loneliness creeps over me. I think of those fond hopes I entertained before enlistment, and I remember one long drawn out holiday, a four years indoor picnic at which the good old times of high school days were to be continued on a grander scale. I remember the day I would small leave a sadder and wiser nana. Contrary to my plans and very much to my regret, I exit educated. In short, the Colored student is to attend an all-Race institution it were not such sad banishment. At least his talents would be placed on an equal par, for what matter, intellectually, emotionally, and socially be coupled with social recognition? But the social situation is really not as hopeless as I have perhaps led you to believe. I complain true; true; true; my own selfish wife wives my needless husband, magnifying his faults but only too quick to defend him in glowing terms when some outsider agrees with her. So regard these comments, with her. I should have grumbled to grumble for my money. I should resent sympathy. So to defend my school, I shall write of the various adaptations that these Colored students have done, returning. Returning to the figure, realizing that they are the Kitty, some have arched their backs to make a hold front, others hove pleuously, a third hove pleuously, a third the corners while a last group weared of chasing its tail has given up its middle position and gone home to a familiar and more friendly husband. With some defiance does this black cat play? "I nain's a gonna play" The first group consists of those fair of face enough to pass for white. I place them in the same category of Japanese, Filipino and and of being suspected as Colored. The student that passes has a hard lot. In the first place some one may at any time disclose his true identity.

Roosevelt on April 21 ended a ten-year fight to get Race representation on the municipal court bench of New York city by signing the Rivers bill, which creates a new municipal court district in Harlem. The bill, introduced in the New York assembly at Albany on April 7 by Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers, was practically the same as previous ones introduced during the past 10 years and vetoed by Governors A Smith and once before by Governor Roosevelt. According to the new law, eight new municipal courts will be created to handle cases that them to be joceted in the heart of Harlem. This means that at the next court will be least affected by Race will be less affected by all these vacancies, and will mark the first time in the history of New York that the court composed entirely of white judges. Bv ISSAC CLARKE LYLE'S INDIAN HEAD KIDNEY & LIVER MEDICINE 19th district of New York. One of his first acts upon his arrival at Albany was to begin to pave the way for a successful culmination of the fight that has been going on for a decade to create this new judicial district. The main reason the fight has been unsuccessful thus far is that the creation of these new benches has been over New York City, according to opinions of the leaders, as the proposed district was in territory that was under New York City, according to Mr. Rivers, commenting on the bill, stated that "On purely political grounds, bills for the establishment of the 10th municipal district course were vetoed by former Governor Alfred Smith in 1925, 1936, 1937 and 1938, and by Governor Roosevelt last year, and the increasing number of cases, due to the steady growth of population, finally have forced the Democratic governor to sign the Republican in justice to our Harlem people." Again after graduation they must work with the group that they have taken every precaution to avoid any damage. This group does not white. This acquired repurgence sooner or later becomes habitual. They direct conversation into such a way that they are not their hatred of anything other than the blue-eyed Nordic. These students seldom enroll in swimming classes test their naked bodies repeatedly with their faces. They leave college with the feeling that they are always under suspicion. In them has developed a completely totally removed. A certain amount of sympathy is to be saved for the student who attributes all of his scholastic failures to race. In this case the number of shortcomings that can be attributed to this cause. Doubtless there is a basis for some of these complaints, but it also is oblivious thatough effort has been brought to head. In the next category there is only one who is a candidate for Phil Beta Kappa. He cannot even find a corner within his own group. Practically everyone finds some new fault with him. I quote an actual conversation: "At least he might comb his happy head." "What are you talking about, that's rabbit hair. It hops a while and then jumps." Another joins is with, "Well, I don't care even if he is Phil Beta Kappa bound, I wouldn't want, to be if I had to dress as he does." "Stop talking about the lad with the delicate air." This is like a sick chicken in a farmyard. There all the rest of the chickens file by and give it a sharp peck on the head until the hen dies from a broken heart or more probably a split cranium. Unlike the sick hen, however, this student is far from succumbing. He boasts of girl friends that fight over him and of the dates that he cannot possibly fill. Then comes a less serious group to which I belong. We have a good among our guests, and we clichecied ourselves. We keep up recollections of down home traditions. We eat corn bread, enjoy it, and acknowledge it. We jest of chitterlings and laughter. We doubtless censored by some of the more assuming of our group on the campus we are strong enough to be chancellor. Extracts from some of our classes certainly contain such bits as: "Kid. I felt myself catching a cold and believe me I went home and had a goose-grease reublin fitted." "Goose." "Lawd Jesus." "Sheet to mouf Nigger." "Kid, this campus takes the sweetest breath of an anger ginger bread without breaking the crust." Such is our gang. After all it is the best on campus. There are times we wish we had never set foot out here but there is a certain thrill in imminent addition. I should not go elsewhere in spite of what I desire. It is my chosen school and even if I an the Kitty I must not make any more catty remarks. W.C.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE Looking back over the 25 years it has been in existence. The Chicago Defender recalls its achievements with pride. Through the haze of years, growing dimmer as they pass in review, there appears deed after deed that attests the influence of the newspaper that, throughout its career, has never wavered from the straight path it was hewing for the complete encinancement of its people. --- The years have not been rosy. Like most institutions that dedicate themselves to the betterment of a certain group, the Defender has had enemies—both within the Race and without. Standing as a bulwark against those from other racial groups who would crush the Race for which the Defender has become the spokesman, it all too frequently found itself faced with the necessity of defending itself from those it sought to protect. Then there have been jealousies—professional and otherwise. Like so many crabs in a single pail, there were those of the Race who never lost an opportunity to throw an obstacle to the path of the newspaper whose obstacle was, to make life a little more livable for them. On all sides have we met the enemy—yet, in spite of this, the Defender and its moving spirit—the man in whose brain it was conceived—have persevered. Today they stand as the emblem of what a black man and a black institution can accomplish in the face of the most disheartening adversities! Twenty-five years ago—1905, and now—1930. What vast changes have taken place in the lives of black people of America within that period! Twenty-five years ago, when we had no political influence—when we had no voice in affairs of state—when the great majority of us lived in the South listening to hypocritical songs in praise of Dixie on the one side and the cries of our brothers, mothers and sisters in distress on the other. Years in which the South had come back into possession of the government—when night riders patrolled the streets—when lynching was the national pastime and its victims numbered hundreds every 363 days. The Defender came to life at a time when the Race needed it most. But the Race was its greatest enemy. Every day, as it goes alight, it ruthlessly into forbidden walls, surmounting obstacles to real peace and freedom, laying bare for all the world to see the great truths of America's inhumanity to man, as it fights the battles it started on the first day of its issue, it hears the uttered doubts of its people standing along the sidelines. But the Defender is not discouraged! It sees the results of its efforts all along the line. It sees an awakened interest in its people in civic and political life of the country. It sees a decline in lynching because the spotlight of public opinion has been focused on this remnant of barbarism. It sees its people looking up—learning to walk and speak with pride—losing the dogged, dejected appearance that once characterized them. It sees the new generations of the Rate seeking independence for themselves and their posterity that their parents could neither get nor appreciate. It sees men willing to fight—to die, if need be—for the principles which they consider essential to real manhood. It sees a widespread interest in education, not for the sake of education alone, but for the wider effect it has on the group as a whole. It sees members of its Race asking for less and demanding more, prepared to take that for which they have asked and which has been refused them! Twenty-five years of service to a living cause! What better excuse has an institution for living? What greater justification is there for a man or thing remaining alive? That the Defender has served is attested to by its host of friends who, in spite of themselves, have come to the realization that its motives have ever been unselfish—that back of its every word of advice lies the profound belief that any other step would not be quite as effective as the one suggested. For 25 years the Defender has appeared regularly and during that time has never missed an issue. During the entire 25 years of its existence it has been under the guiding hand of the one man who founded it. Isn't that a record of which to be proud? Isn't that something for which it can well congratulate itself? Certainly an achievement such as this merits the attention of all men, if not their commendation. Whatever side of the fence one finds himself on in this struggle for equality—for justice and freedom—he cannot fail to respect the lines along which the battle has been fought! And so, we pause 25 years after our beginning, to take inventory—to apprise ourselves of the distance covered, and to make plans for a continuation of the struggle. We want to know how far all of us are today from the point where we started 25 years ago, and we want our readers to know the part we have played in making the journey thus far. We realize that the battle has just begun—that the need for independent, militant, fearless journals is greater today than ever before, and it is with no small degree of pride that we note the part we have played in creating this need. As we look back through the years, we are happy but not jubilant. We recognize the tremendous task 1. fore us and we measure its difficulties by a review of the 'struggles of the years gone by. We are cautious but not doubtful—truth and the right must eventually prevail, though all the other forces on the earth and beneat. the earth are combined against them. We pause to rest, but we are not weary, for the fight for the right gives strength to the fighter as he goes along. And so we approach the next quarter century with hope and determination. Upon the strength of what has happened, we look eagerly to what we expect will yet come! It is for a cause—a living, breathing, vibrating cause, that we live—had this cause been wrong, we should have died years ago! Again we congratulate ourselves and in doing so congratulate the Race that has moved along at so rapid a pace in the 25 years! May the pace never slacken—may the struggle never end until justice, decency, honor and freedom are the common lot of all men! HAITI ELECTS A PRESIDENT The Haitian council a few days ago by unanimous vote elected Eugene Roy, prominent banker and financier, temporary president of the Haitian republic. Mr. Roy is to replace Louis Borno, who has been a storm center in Haiti for years, and serve during the reorganization of the republic according to plans laid down by the Hoover Haitian commission recently. Mr. Roy was elected after 12 members of the council had been dismissed by President Borno for their refusal to consider him. The new president also met with the approval of Brigadier General John H. Russell, United States high commissioner to Haiti, whose removal from Haiti has been demanded by the Haitians. It is evident, on the face of things, that Mr. Roy, being favorable to General Russell and to Mr. Borno, will not take well with the Haitian people. They are not quite as anxious to change paymasters as they are to change the system of paying. We can safely predict that the trouble in Haiti is not yet ended. WHAT PRICE HEROISM? Last week when 319 persons died like rats in a trap in the Ohio state penitentiary at Columbus, half a dozen dark men distinguished themselves by risking their lives to free some of their comrades—fellow prisoners—after prison guards had left them to their fates. After the smoke had died away many of these heroes were among the missing; they had died in the attempt to rescue others. And among the 319 dead were more than 80 prisoners who were not white. Today the crowds of people who visit the prison burial lot where the dead of the dead prisoners whose bodies were not claimed by relatives lie buried, they will note two long trenches into which they dead men have been buried. After further investigation will disclose the fact that in some trenches are white men, prisoners burned to death, and in the other are dark men, prisoners burned to death. The state of Ohio, although it could place these men in the same prison, could let them die in the same Black Hole of Calcutta, although it could let other black men risk their lives and die in vain efforts to save white men—could not bury them in the same trench. This, in spite of the fact that most of them had been burned so black that it was difficult to distinguish a member of one race from another. In this one gesture Ohio gives a vivid picture to the world. Surrounded with mystery from every angle, the death of J. H. Wilkins, Negro Pullman porter on the Kansas City special, remains unsolved. Strange as it may seem from a long distance view, there is no doubt but that some one knows just where and when and how this Negro 'met his death. It is reported that the train stopped at Sandy Springs, 17 miles south of Locust Grove, but that no other stops were made between Macon and Atlanta. The body was found near Locust-Grove. How strange that a train traveling on a fast schedule, as is reported for this special, for anyone to fall or jump from the coaches or windows. It is beyond comprehension. In our belief, if the trail for investigation is taken up at Sandy Springs, some chus will be found that may lead to the discovery of evidence sufficient to unravel the great mystery the case appears to be at this time. If this Negro had jumped from a window and the train were traveling at the rate of speed it has been reported, his body would not have been found a mile or more from the tracks, propped up with his neck bound to a small tree with a portion of his coat. The case is so unusual and so mystifying and serious that every effort should be made to clear up what now seems to be an occurrence bordering on a lynching. We hope, however, that such is not the case, but whatever may have caused the accident should be determined without delay, and with perfect fairness to all concerned. Rewards by county officials should also be active investigation to clear the state of any stigma of foul play or lynching should be carried on until the truth of the occurrence is known. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Throughout the Years She Has Carried the Beacon—Calling Men to Higher Hopes and a Greater Understanding HUMANITY JUSTICE EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW THE CHICAGO DEFENDER COURTAGE 1926 1927 1930 WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY NO JIM CROW AT TENNESSEE STATE Editor Chichele Defender: Under date of April 26 an article appeared in the feature column of your paper, "What the People Say," on segregation at Tennessee State college. An article asks you to take this opportunity of openly contradicting that accusation. I grant that the color of a house does not affect the quality of material from which it is erected and the manner in which it is erected are the vital things to be considered. But with this question, I am not sure what is wrong with an individual who continues to be a part of an institution which, from his cowardly one, is led to believe no despises. It so happens that institutions are unfortunate enough to get into their student bodies a few thoughtless perceptions things as they actually are, but who delight in going about spreading erroneous reports that their unprincipled minds invent and their distorted views of the only back door to the building which was mentioned in the incident related is the private entrance to the president's office, and the only door to the hall. I wonder what hostess would invite guests to dine and because she couldn't accommodate her family at the same time would feed her family a meal. I wonder why she merely because of some overdeveloped complex? Would she not violate one of the fundamental laws of courtesy? Discrimination is not present on the campus of this institution. A pervasive culture of race or color, are welcomed to the midst; and even the least among us made to feel the warmth of hospitality. We learn to woo them. We learn to walk with kids—nor lose the common touch." DOROTHY V. LEAELLE. Class of 30." Tennessee State College. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST? Editor Chicago Defender: Were it possible to present your paper to a problem in America for persual. it is my sincere opinion that his decision would be that The Chicago Defender would view of fomenting, maintaining and perpetuating the hatred of the white and Negro race for one another. If after deciding as ally, were possible to present the opinion of the Defender. I am sure that he would suppose it part of some other paper, as it is too contradictory to the genius of the periodical to be part of it. The principal plank in your platform is "Destruction of America." Let us analyze the efforts you expand to "destroy": In your every issue there is an obvious desire to present a significant occurrence between two individual members of the races in question, to such importance that in the eyes of the readers who lack Intellectual balance and discernment, the entire white race assumes the proportions, and aspects of an ugly ore ready to destroy all Negroes. In your editorials there is but one dominant note—the song of prejudice, segregation, etc., with a chorus in resume, you make no progress toward eliminating the whites' segregative efforts, but are only working to undermine the Negro an unreasoning and underserved animosity for the whites. There are in your platform nine great examples of the Negro's groves, toward the achievement of HOMELY PHILOSOPHY By GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON So long as we cling to things that are old and outworn we cannot learn to make new changes to them, which is better. We learn to stagnate potholes when we live in it, ruin, board old possessions and cling to the dead past.

You are not only unyousy you are coequalizant of the Negroes'ills, but so are all Negroes. There can be no elimination of an enemy, but you can be why harp on a subject without proposing a cure. Your pages are too disgustingly full of racism, the race, the Adopt and pursue some definite policy that will tend to be in keeping with your platform, and thinking Negroes will fail then cease your destruction. You are only succeeding in destroying the Negroes' self-respect. ORL GLOBAL PAST Editor Chicago Defender: I was very much pleased to read in your article about Ethiopia and her rulers. Personally I think this type of news or feature can hardly be overstressed. I am big overload of our opinions beginnings. Of course there's not so much to be found about our ancient history, and a lot of that which is known is white history, and white historians—but that which is known and that which can be picked out of the twist, I think should be more important. No common ancient history book will hardly give the Negro credit for anything—in fact, he is not mentioned at all in most cases. And I know of some young youth on to greater achievements that a good knowledge of this past. Slowly the white writers are beginning to admit that the Negro has been a great part of our youth. Some time ago I read an extract in your paper from the German philosopher's article on "What the Negro means to America." Evidently he will be a great part of our past, otherwise he would not have come to such conclusions—but he only hinted at or intimated such in his article. So it is the burden is upon ourselves to broadcast our own history. A lot of our people still believe we are black because we are cursed, and we are other discordant notions are in exile. If Mussolini can implore his flock to emulate the ancient Romans, and to teach the young a few inspiring notions about the ancient black folk that once ruled the world? It is certainly possible. I think it would be a great thing for your paper to get hold of a copy of that book, or its extract, "Ferth Nags," which race pride without giving our youth something really to be proud of. CLAUDE C. TEDFORD. 3611 Dunlair St. Dallas, Tex. THE TURNING WORM Editor Chicago Defender: Through the World's Greatest Weekly allow of congruence those gentlemen like the Nixon X-13, that flogged the white taxi driver. Having once lived in the South my mother knew that where a white men is involved a member of our race is usually wrong when he's right. She knew that where a black man is mary thing, a thing that most of our brave soldiers of the last war would have hesitated in doing. But the time is rapidly approaching. Let the white man have his fling with our women without our interference. But the time is rapidly approaching. Thanks to the awakening of the Race. It will take such steps as those to stop sexual relations between Race members. Thanks that lynchings will cease only when we step in and take a hand as the Elkin heroes did, in spite of our efforts to such struggle as Nobody respects beggar. And we are nothing but beggars! Cowards! And when I say beggars and cowards I'm not excluding and I will begging them. I hope that the Elkin affair will be a warning to all southern Race women, and an example to all Race men.

What the Pope say column in What a reader of your paper for 15 years and like the news and reports of any progress made by our group, but such a report as "Kip that," and the couple in New Jersey are not worth the write-up. We know the girl was trying to marry the man, but never has nor never will marry a poor Negro. If you must write of it, give it what it deserves by saying: I foofs meet. One white and one black.* Judge Carpenter was right. The best Negroes are intermarrriage and any one who says they are intermarried and misleading and gives the world the wrong opinion of the Negro. Only two classes of people believe in intermarriage, manly, people possessing the ability to love and people possessing less than one per cent of intelligence. Why cannot we be as proud of what we are as the other is as owed to who would like to do the uniform of the enemy and cross to the winning side.

Madison, St. Louis, KY SIDELIGHTS—WHAT SOME SEE AND OTHERS PASS OVER The Press Today *By OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD (In The Nation) In the South there are no daily papers owned and operated by Colored men, or any Colored reporters renece involving their employment service. All the news which gets out of the South comes from white reporters who record occurrences involving race. Being a white man, the reporter of a lynching or the like must inevitably slide with his crowd, for he would lose his audience. They declare in news he has no means of getting unhazed news to the American people, save through their own little-read papers because they declare, who can reach the first page of the great dailies is the Negro criminal; if there is occasional recognition, they are excused; if someone科学, it is usually with surpassing condescension, as one admires a reading horse or a trained seal. There are exceptions like Gouzelles in South Carolina, Breckenridge of Lexington, Ky., until finally Julian and Julia Limon, who are associated with other of others who seek to do justice to every man irrespective of color, but the facts in general are as sated, anomaly in the news, and Associated Press report of the murder of some Negroes whose sole crime was that they tried to vote in Florida, and inform it that meadowland and children were burned alive in this election trouble—a crime as horrible as was ever reported out of the United States. It never carved this news. Again, the Associated Press was involved in the investigation of the phantom presentation in reporting CROSSING THE LINE AMEN Observations The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion Pity the Poor White! By EUGENE HENRY HUFFMAN 154 S. Hudson Ava. Los Angeles, Calif. Before the 1930 census is even half enumerated, Arthur Brishane, champion advocate of the white supremacy gag and patron salute of all American morons, hires his noble self to his typewriter and rattles off through the Heart papers of April 15 that the Negro population of America is greatly diminishing. And the typewriter owner wants to institute that the percentage of Negro population in this census will be the lowest on record, and that percentage now is only half what it was in 1790. Having sounded the black Americans' death knell, obviously for the joy of the vast horde of white Americans who suffer from that most depolarate form of insanity politely known as race prejudice, and to bolster up their wavering faith in the inherent supremacy of all whiteness, Brother Brisbane immediately tries to hide the hand that has thrown the proverbial rock. For in the next sentence he tells us that we need not be discouraged by our swift and adamite demise. As many believe, that means to eschew. As many believe, that means to average percentage of Colored people come back in white bodies, with a better chance in our prejudiced "white" civilization. It is difficult to imagine Arthur Brisbane, the modern King Solomon, being guilty of such quibbling and betraying such gross ignorance. In the first place it is impossible even for Arthur Brisbane to say whether Negroes or any other group of Americans are diminishing or increasing until the 1300 census has been fully compiled and published. And when the gentleman insinuates that the percentage of Negroes in America is only half what it was in 1750, he clearly reveals how anxious he and his devotees are to paint America white, and to be rid of us so surely tried souls who have come up out of the house of bondage. The 1750 census, the earliest on record, shows that there were only 150 Negroes in 1750 and 1300 census gave the Negro population in the United States of mental distraction as far upward of ten million, and then it was frankly admitted by the census bureau that the census of the Negro, or Negroid population of the country was very incomplete because of the great economic and social change that the black populace was experiencing during that census year, by what authority does Mr. Brisbane speak? And as to Mr. Brisbane's prattle about black souls returning to earth in white bodies, as George S. Schuyler would say, it is a queer rule that won't measure but one way. No man can say exactly what happens, or what processes we go through after death. So isn't it just as easy to suppose that large percentage of people will still have black bodies? Perhaps the destines will deem it a just punishment for a people whose complexions and acquisition of a smile sardonically to note in the hereafter that the very Nordic and superior Arthur Brisbane had exchanged his life with William Fleckens, R. R. Moton, or even myself. And even if Mr. Brisbane meant percentage of Negroes as compared to the percentage of white, he would still be frightfully in Ah, well. It all goes to show the treacherous spirit of our Nordic wrenches to black men and women everywhere to stand together. As long as the white man can use a thing or people or guards that thing or people with his life; but as soon as some less expensive discovery is made that will serve him just as well, then the commodity of an earlier day with the greatest possible haste. We all know what happened to the american wrenches, and we found them unprofitable. And what became of the faithful and almost sacred horse when the speedy auto we have been emancipated physically, our presence is no longer especially desired on this white, white, white; get together, and cling together, there won't be many more decades before the souls of most of us will have perished to black men, white, bleached in some lonesome valley. some race troubles in Phillips county, Arkansas, which it portrayed to the American people as a "Negro rebellion," of more than a local nature, possibly planned for the entire South. The simple truth was that a group of white men attacked a meeting of Colored tenant farmers held under the guidance of a white attorney to formulate the innocent demand that they receive written settlements of their accounts from their white landlords. This was all there was to the Associated Press' rebellion—the facts being all established later before the supreme court of the United States. The Associated Press, however, never apologized for the wrong it had done, or rectified its error.

During the entire 25 years of its existence it has never hesitated to speak fearlessly on subjects affecting its readers. Glancing back through the files of the Defender, we have selected a few editorials representing the attitude of the Defender on the American race problem. These editorials, taken at random from intervals of about five years, are reproduced on this page that you may read again some of the issues touched upon, and to compare them with what has happened during that period. An editorial, taken from the Defender of December, 1908, 22 years ago, is significant in the light of the position this newspaper now holds in public life. Another editorial, printed in 1910, five years after the paper's initial issue, shows how The Chicago Defender went about to defeat plans for segregated schools in Chicago. And those schools have not yet arrived officially in this city. On Flanders Field Breast FORWARD! the bravest of the brave, They met their fate without a sigh; And shall it be in vain they died? In vain they sank 'neath war's red tide? Ah, say not so—to us they left a mission great; Those dear to them—they left behind, to compensate— Their sacrifice to CONSECRATE— Who fell on Flanders field. We must this faith keep with dead; OUR DEAD, who brave and nobly gave; Who shed their blood the world to save— Let every tongue join in their praise, And every voice in prayer be raised, Lest we in shame can only gaze On those who sleep in Flanders field. The Chicago Defender's Salutation to Its Readers Dec. 26, 1908 The time has come when it is fitting that we should pause in the midst of our struggle to meet the many demands of life in this century and look back over the past year and note whatever good that has been accomplished and plan for a better future. If you will give a glance backwards at the past year's record of Negro journals in Chicago you will find one fact that possibly has never occurred to you, viz. that The Chicago Defender has appeared over the past year and that it is the only Negro paper that for one whole year has come to its patrons on Saturday of the current week, and not on the following Monday or Tuesday of the next week. That is an annual year's record for any Negro paper to make and when you take into consideration another fact, that The Chicago Defender is really a one-man newsroom that its record is most remarkable. If one man alone, by his work, can bring out this small paper weekly on time, what could that man be equipped office and a competent force of young people to assist him? Chicago has a race paper, a permanent one, that they make a part of the report. Why can we not do likewise? There are many ways in which we could help make the Defender of the country the greatest Negor paper in the country. First, let those who read the news and enjoyed the regularity of its press for it. Let us pay up for last year, and then pay in advance for the new year, and make improvements in the year it will fully improve, so no longer be afraid to pay for a year in advance, because through cloud or internet, we can out money, the Defender has come to you promptly for the past 22 weeks. 'A Lyncher in Contempt May 29, 1909 This week the supreme court of the United States held Sheriff Shiffler, a man of the Hudson County of Hamilton County, Tennessee, guilty of an act of contempt in combining in 1905 in a conspiracy to kill a man and had been sentenced to death by the local courts on conviction of felonious assault, and in whose case the man was sentenced to death the extent of granting an appeal on a writ of habeas corpus, which had been denied by the United States and which had the effect of a supersedes. On the night following the annotated March 19, 1908, Johnson was taken out of jail in Chattanooga by a mob and lynched. There was no resis- tion to the therites and Shiffler and a number of his deputies, as well as about 20 citizens, were proceeded against on contempt of the federal court. This is the first time in so serious a case the supreme Court of the United States the highest tribune—will undertake to mute out punishment for a crime of contempt of the federal court. The occasion will be enhanced by the number of defendants. Tuesday next has been selected as the day, and the insult is engaged with interest. Moving Ahead March 13, 1909 We are pleased to note the growing popularity of our paper, the *Middle West*, and the touches towards the front have been so noticeable that we feel as though we are larger than any other weekly in the Middle West, and we have not been so noticeable in the sun never sets on the Defender, as it is circulated in Africa, Asia and the Guess. Who column we hope has been noticed by our readers. Not too much has been to get the news, and not scandal. Even the postoffice says the Defender is the only weekly with the news that passed through the office in 1908. Black Mammy Monument June, 1910 The southern Negro papers are gloating over the fact that Mars John and Miss Ann are to creet a monument to the black mammy, the white mammy, the mammy very much, don't they? Can one ride in a sleeper through the TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF EDITORIAL OPINION South? Can one enter a drug store or city park on a hot day for a meal? Can you walk through a dark room if they think so much of the black mommy, why not make laws that will protect her and her husband and daughter, white man ruins and Colored girl in the South there is no law to make the mommy grop papers praising the move. The Defender hopes that lightning will strike and those who work on the erected grop papers praising the move. "If you love me, feed my sheep," said Christ. If you love the black mommy, give her offspring a political rights-Tzie Young Negro. Jim Crow School in Chicago Nov. 12, 1910 The Southern society of Chicago (white) is raising $50,000 it is said, and the white community is signing North. So one of the steps in this direction which is now in vogue is a lot of southern white folks' lovers of the white community, homes of the ignorant during the week, making them to sign a petition for separate schools in Chicago, telling them not to have their daughters and sons teaching in their schools, and how well their children would get along with white folks calling them names. The Defender therefore calls on all the better families of the city to help the children in the city to escape, the only city in America where the Race is treated as a man and where his children may associate with him, case while so doing. We are now on that plane in life where we can afford to be ourselves. The southern United States has limited Jim Crow life which favors for dress parade, but when night comes he uses his midnight spectacle far beneath him. Still, here, where he sees the Race making such strides he takes our own and hurts them in the process of create our plans and put us to the battle. To offset the argument of those southern cusses we went to the exteriors of the city to see how happy the children are and how well they mix. You will find that this group is no Jim Crow group and we found in every angle of the picture. The Defender is proud of Chicago's not far distant when the general government will take the matter in schools where her hat may fly. In Sacred Memory of 200 Lynched Heroes of the United States During the Past Year. Dec. 31. 1910 When in the last days of the departing year we look backward and see the bodies of 200 heroes lynched motherhood by our southern white friends, we mourn and hide our faces in shame at a- government, the which would permit such crimes to be instituted in her domain. We look with shame upon our churches and we look with shame on American priests who at no time during a lynching have tried to stop the killers. While others of the Race rejoice and gloat over their success, we humbly beg God's mercy on the American mission and its citizens—The Editor. Taxation Without Representation Jan. 8, 1910 The shades of the old year still linger in the birth of the new, and the shades of the old year still plished by the Negro, or much of had to suffer. The luminaries of race prejudice, injustice and oppression, the system of shotgun and ballot box stulting, are being driven into oblivion by the milky way of an aroused American people. The great American buffoon has ended his tour of the country and the nation no longer has the power to resist the unbalanced brain (namely Tillman) and a sober consciousness of the fact that the country is for all time a taker possession of the public mind. taking possession of the prison. Though the prisoner had not been stained with roses, but intercepted by crossroads of lynchings, harmful legislation and attempted legislation, there remains the consolation that failure THE WHITE SOUTH FACE-HATRED PROPAGANDA Equal Accommodations Feb. 28, 1920 Under the Constitutions of the United States it is distinctly protected by law that any law force any law which will abridge the privileges and immunity of the citizen, or deny to any person within the jurisdiction of the law. The theory upon which the federal supreme court has upheld and enforced the law is that the Grower law and statutes have enacted such laws is that so far that they relate to intrastateengers whose journey begins and ends in the same state—this provides the Grower law and statutes providing the separate accommodations of white and Colored passengers are equal in all respects. This judicial mandate is ignored by the Grower law and statutes and respectable travelers of our group can testify. In a number of cases compelled to travel for several days in filth and insanitary coaches where men and women are judged to be unable to comfort facilities. They not only are unable to secure sleeping accommodations but are unable to even get It was hoped that when the government took charge of the railway and publicizing discriminations would be done away with; instead they have been allowed any change at all, it has been for the worse. The present administration we very much fear that no change for the better can be hoped for or made, and that any other which is arousing deep interest on the part of our group campaign. The Republican party must not fail to understand that to get our support the platform must be deemmation and denunciation of these wrongs and the public record and date should be such as to justify the expectation that, if elected, these declarations will be carried into effect. The Old and the New Jan. 3, 1920 So many things of vital interest have transpired in the past year, many of which are people throughout the world, that historians will place 1819 in a category all by itself. The greatest boon of the nineteenth century was the titanic war, which stopped the wholesale murder of millions of human beings, the wrecking of whole cities, the willingness to adopt it, to bring about universal peace forever. While all the covensants of the league of warriors have differed in opinion are being rapidly adjusted and the start has been made at least in our own group, despite the fact that lynching mobs have been more active than in previous years, the southern railroads, several northern cities: movements put on foot to seagrieve us in residential sections; adequate school facilities in sections TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION of the country, and that our dark skins give—so the white American women and browbeat our men, we have forged steadily ahead. "Negro" we haven't拿 a critter, just the same old tinted individual, roused his own possibilities, the backbone, with new ambitions, new desires. The individual that has proven that somewhere on this earth men and women are judged by their work and success, the deer boys found these places, it aroused them from their lethargy, and so contouous the other ninety and nine got it. The yesterday with us to the tomorrow. More avenues of employment have been opened to us in the past two years than in the preceding years. We have convinced the North that we are an asset, not a liability, have the South tried to make them believe. We demonstrated our 100 percent Americanism on the battlefield. We have never given our government cause to believe we were antagonistic. The labor unions have invited us into their camps. We have prospered financially, and now we are entering the new year with the full determination of securing by lawful means every right and privilege the Constitution of the United States guarantees other citizens. The thinking white people for divers reasons are wont to style us the "New Negro." The word "new" implies that there has been no past, but we have had a past and they have figured largely in it. We may be able to forgive but not forget. And so "new" is a misnomer: the better word is "awakened." Nineteen nineteen has given much for which we are thankful; we are expecting more for 1920. The Rising Tide of Color May 22, 1920 Among the new books of the day is a work by Skoddard entitled *The Book of the Book*, a perusal of the book stamps it as a work of more than passing interest, and a new book, *The Spirit of the Colored Cross* through the world. That there is an awakening cannot be denied, one more pressing force is the pressive press, in the pulit, and in the field of industry. The new movement force from the pressure exerted by the white races of the earth. No nation has contributed so much to so-called color tide and nationalism. The entire social fabric is warped and wooed. The cats and dogs in terms of color. Not even the aligent mention of good or bad is made for the color of the qualifying noun "Negro." No racial designation is considered necessary in speaking of any other The constant play upon the word Negro his made us a marked people. It keeps us a thing set apart, separate, distinct, different. It makes us a something to be shunned, despised, condemned. Nowhere is this so noticeable as in the press of this country. Here it amounts almost to a propaganda: "Negro Lynched," Negro "Burned at Stake," "Negro Assaults White Woman," "Black Burly Brute Pursued by Mob" are some of the color bugboos that are almost of daily use in the headlines of our press. The injury done us comes as a matter of evil suggestion, and is irreparable. We become subjects of table and fireside discussions. Over the morning coffee women and children hear recitals of all the vices charged to us and learn to associate them with our color. The tale of the good we do generally remains untold. To the average white child the true story of the American Negro is a sealed book. We learn little from the press, little from teachers in the public schools and rarely anything from parents in the home circle, except the blacker side. Small wonder it is then that we live in a land where we have become a national disaster. But the American is nothing if not a missionary. He has carried the torch of the world. He has sought to impress his viewpoint upon every people that he meets. He has made his dislike of the Negro's color a theme for dismay of England, and as a soldier upon the battlefields of France he showed great tenderness toward us socially and the part we were to play as instruments that touched the lives of all the civilized and evil spirit have attired us to the deepest resentment, a resentment that touched the lives of all the civilized and semicivilized world. Among the republics of South America, in Mexico and elsewhere, where dark blood prevails, the tide is rising in mighty protest against the arrogance of assumed authority. For much of this American spirit toward us we do not hold ourselves blameless. The permitted them to enslave us for more than two centuries. We freely confess our shame for this much of our history. Our ancestors should have resisted the point of extermination. Death is always preferable to dishonor. The Indian resisted with scaling knife, tomahawk and firebrand and made the white man respect him and his children. We famely submitted to his yoke. We filled his fields, rocked the candles and shany, and protected his own blood with live and followed him to victory and to death upon many a battlefield. The Indian who fought him is loved and honored. We who served him are despised and condemned. The case certainly furnishes one of the world's anomalies. But emancipation freed the Negro; it may yet revillate the black and white man. He once burned white women for witchcraft. He outgrew this form of savagery as he outgrew slavery. He may, in time become too highly civilized to mention burning: Negroes at the stake. He may in time learn to respect the law and the rich. He may not have to be a person that is very bad long to reason from a particular case to a general rule. West Point and Annapolis June 29, 1925 General Bullard last week broadcast to the world that in his opinion of the white officers. Many people agreed with him, not because they were in white officers. Many people agreed with him, not because they were in white officers. Many people agreed with him, not because they live in America and know the circumstances under which officers are made to order for wartime purpose. This country maintains two of the finest academies for military and world peace, the European countries are studying West Point and Annapolis for the purpose of training the period of instruction at both places is usually four years, and when a young man emerges from either of these academies, he must undergo a budel of war if necessary in the defense of his country. The democratic institutions, nurturing the vaunted spirit of the country which supports them, they have become aristocratic, and has never made a pretense of democracy. Its doors are; and always have been, closed to boys of our Race who have never made a pretense of democracy. This attitude reflects itself. In the attitude of the government, we no longer enjoy new life. It is traditional that the navy rely on men to tend to tendants and cabin boys. It is seldom that one attains the rank of a navy officer, but he never tries above that position. In the army the general opinion Is that we should be used as stevredores and orderlies for white officers. This, in spite of the general knowledge of the parts we have always played in America's wars. Aside from the 24th and 25th infanticans and the 9th and 10th cavalieries, all of which are under white officers, the United States army offers an inspiration for the youth of our race who might be interested in a military career. Thus, in time of war, the campaign drafted along with whites, to whom all the military and naval schools are open, rushed into training camps and, with slight preparation, told to do the same things a white boy prepares four years to do. This is injustice, both to us and to the country we represent. It has just about been decided that no country that has not a well equipped army and navy is safe. The defenceless nation is always at the mercy of other nations. America knows from experience that there are no more loyal citizens than those descendants of Africa imported here against their will; she knows that there are no people more willing to be saved from the same kind ofCountry than this much maintained since. But she does not seem inclined to take cognizance of these facts. The age of wars is not pant. All wars are imperfecting more deadly implements of destruction than have ever been thought of before. France is sparing the enemy of its own fighting machinery with her manpower of Africa. Japan already has its own world and is making military training compulsory. But America sleeps, the world is being cased minds of which Robert Lee Bullard is an example, are ruling the navy and marines to us and they deserve the dice. They have closed the doors of the navy and marines to us and they deserve the dice. They have made it impossible for us to enter Annapolis for our West Point, and they keep our West Point, tough or determent or another. These are the factors that need to be worked over to cause her destruction. No nation can withstand an attack from within. History has proved that every nation's fall was due to interruption, and cannot always be expected to ruly to a flag that gives us as little protection as West Point and Annapolis now. Did You See the Parade? June 6, 1925 Saturday was Memorial day. It was the day upon which American soldiers lunge to those who died that this might be the greatest nation among nations. On that day we went to cement the American and paraded. There was a parade in Chicago, one in Atlanta, another in Washington, Dallas, and a sixth in Birmingham. There were parades in every American city of more than 100 souls. You can see one of them. Were you in the South or in the North? Did you see the parade in Chicago, where veterans of America's wars were gathered to the same music and saluting the same flag? Did you hear the appalachian Newbsy band of 100 pieces, leading a squad of veterans in blue passed the reviewing stand? Did you hear the band of the heart must have swelled in pride—pride for those thinning lines and ties and your battles in the past—and pride for those boys who will win the future. And did you see the parade south of the Mason and Dixon line? If so, what did you wear? American standard bearers; now old, bedraggled, weary and grim; end of the procession? Of did you see the parade that was held enclosed by the parade enclosure? Did you see our boys, good enough to fight in American wars, or not? Did you parade along with others, many of whom have not had as much claim to distinction? Who watched the parade in Chicago and noticed the firm steps with which our veterans crossed upon Veteran Lyles of the Ninth cavalry, who balanced himself upon his reins and kept step with his younger comrades what did you think? And to you what Texas and heard the hoots of white citizens when your heroes passed by Texas and heard the hoots of white what did YOU think?—what, what did YOU think? Did you think of the travesty on patriotism, the sham and hypocrisy that has been waged by heads in shame, not for your heroes, but for your country—the country that for which so many of your brothers, husbands, sons and fathers now sleep in unmarked graves? Did you feel ashamed that you have allowed this condition to exist as long as it was? Did that this is a situation that, you must change? If so, then to you the parade after all has mean some- Maybe So March 14, 1925 In the opinion of Dr. W. A. Plecker, state registrar of vital statistics of virginia, he has been issuing cards for the racial integrity" he made the first serious attempt to stay or postpone the day when this is no longer a white marry country, and that the marriage is that some had not thought of it before. It is nothing more nor less than a drastic law prohibiting racial marriage. It is permitted to marry Caucasians and it defines a white person as one with "no trace whatever of blood other than white," the frightened pill dispenser, the now law certainly has a kick in it; but it is the double action kind and the law certainly has been amended at other than Caucasian groups. For denizens of the South, especially, to talk about unadulterated and intelligent ones among them should enjoy. If every so-called white person is given the opportunity to ceystery back just a few generations, might few of them today could be considered a person of persons or groups of persons having Negro blood and the appearance of being white with black hair. This is not the case, and fame is looked upon by the doctor—a menace rather than a boon for the man who goes on rambling in his fashion: "In Mexico, much of South America and the West Indies the process of emigration is quite plate, the mixture being Spanish or Portuguese, Indian and the Negro. Some portions of southern Europe immigrants from these lands to this country, while really negroid, are classes of white, 500,000 and 750,000 Mexicans, are good in the state of Texas alone and Mexicans compose more than half of the population in Mexico, and in some now living we may expect the present 12,000,000 Colored THE NEGRO HIS WRONGS AND HIS ASPIRATIONS But took his freedom and gave it again, But grudged as you gave it, ye white-faced men, And gave it to you, And a dangerous plaything is liberty For untaught children.

In the past, that change will be made at this time to benefit narrow-minded people, but to put, not to censure the cura backing at our heels. The "sui generis" given to whining or taking a back seat to anybody; his superiority is allowed for himself, but for his less fortunate brother. Man in the social scale is often the thief he stands. If every state in the Union should pass a law prohibiting racial intermarriage, he would be such an uprising of the ninety and ninety who go to make up the majority of the little 1 per cent crying for the maintenance of "white supremacy" would the doctor feels that he and his group are slipping we venture the information and sometimes proves effective. We Are 20 Years Old May 9, 1925 Twenty years ago May 6 The Chicago Defender first saw the light of day. Like all infants, we were immature and puny. Lacking parents, in the form of older papers to guide us right from wrong, we found the road rough and beset with many dangers. We came at a time when we were most needed; when a people throughout the country were beginning to interest themselves in the so-called race problem. Race purity fanatics were busy stirring up the dying embers of Kluxism and lynching was at its height. Peonage flourished unmolested within calling distance of many of our state government seats. The white press was picturing us as a race of morons and chicken thieves and all our women as harlots. Our attempts to get recognition for our achievements failed as soon as they began, because no act of ours worth while was ever given publicity through columns of the domaining press. Our views are people in the world, but they would never know what was going on in the next county because their white landlords did not choose to tell them and there was no medium of their own upon which they could rely. Only when many were spilled with women was a caught-sailing was the information relayed through the white press disputes, and then only through disinterested or prejudiced eyes. Even our own people were beginning to doubt themselves. Our Chicago Defender appeared, throwing the searchlight upon our frailties and perfections alike. Where a man had accomplished something worth while we told others of it, they had not had to take on other hard saunbed to natural weakness and his environment, doing something for which we all were condemned, we sought out the true facts in the case and made them known, that we might we have to be plight of our less fortunate brother. In some of our efforts we have erred; in many we have accomplished our aims. We believe we have profited by our errors, and we believe that what life is good we have been capable of doing so. The 20 years of our life have not been easy ones. We have been opposed by those whose desires are to keep us in ignorance of our own accomplishments and our impulses, and we have been harassed by those within the Race who, for petty reasons, did not wish to see us succeed. Obstacles have been placed in our way and for 20 years obstacles have been removed. Even today we are forbidden to circulate in many southern cities and towns. But, in spite of it all, we have progressed along with the progress of our entire country. Today we stand at the top of the list of weekly newspapers and in all humility declare: We are The World's Greatest Weekly! It is now that we make the confession that it was you, our readers, who made our success possible. It is for you that we may be on. If we have it ever in anything worth of the time and we believe, we have, we cladly give you the credit. We merely ask that you continue to bear with us during the next 20 years as you have during the past and we promise you that at the end of that time we shall have destroyed the peculiar American problem based upon the color of one's skin the contour of his features and the curl. The Defender stands first of all for complete SOCIAL EQUALITY. We believe that we should stand in all respects to any race on our planet. We know that all other forms of equality are based upon social equality and we are defended. The Defender has fought, and will continue to fight, for the abolishment of separate public conveyances, schools, libraries, hospitals, and every other form of --- PART I, PAG. Industry that gets its support from the government sanction in order to operate. The Defender has contended that the government schools are inferior to those for whites; that money derived from the government wasted in maintaining these three institutions, and that children of both races suffer, and show up in igno- The Defender demands that all laws prohibiting intermarriage of the races be repealed, thus giving our women in southern states a chance to get redress before the law for nubes that now exist. Herein, we believe, is the solution of the problems of immorality and illegitimacy in the South. The Defender is unalterably opposed to restrictions being placed upon the means of gaining livelihoods by labor unions. The nation is in a sad condition when a man's color may determine his vocation. We demand that ALL workmen's organizations open their doors to all workmen, without regard to color. In the same breath, as we congratulate ourselves upon our past efforts, we declare that we shall uphold our tenets and continue to fight for them until there lives no further cause for strife. In support of these, we appeal to you, in whose hands lies our future. National Reapportionment Feb. 28, 1925 In a recent issue of the "World's Greatest Newspaper" there appeared a report of congressional reapportionment which is so radically different from the position that deceived more than passing notice. Among other things it said: "Reapportionment should be made in the states that deceive more than passing notice. Eleven southern states would lose 65 representatives, and nine would lose 64 states in their representative basis by including large populations practically disfranchised. That is not fair to the states." What this paper complains of is the legitimate fruits of its own unintended disproportion spoken of results from the nullification of the 15th amendment to the Constitution. Solid South, which the Chicago Tribune has heretofore advocated, indorsed and defended. Its advice to Congress to adopt any method they may see fit, whether constitutional or unconstitutional, to suppress and nullify the Congress. What should be done is to enact and then enforce legislation that will limit the use of the 15th amendment to the federal Constitution. In view of our dual system of state and federal laws, it is difficult to effectually do the. The next step should be to evolve a national law that would all citizens in states where there are unreasonable or illegal restrictions or limitations under state constitutions would be allowed to at least in national elections. If neither of these methods is feasible or possible, then the next step to be taken is that of making the vote cast in each state in the same manner as in the apportionment, the basis upon which the apportionment should be made. If this were done those who would at least have the satisfaction of knowing that their representative would at least not be courted against them. The effect of this would be to punish any state by reducing its influence in government in proportion to its own act in illegally restricting the exercise of elective power, or only doing through an amendment to the federal Constitution, since population and not votes or voters is the instrument made. Now, with reference to the Tribune's inconsistency, it has been advised that the Colored vote, but it has also advised the Republican party to make the few scattering Republican votes will graciously allow to be polled, counted and returned, the basis upon which the convention shall be apportioned. In other words, its pernicious advice has been that in the proportion to the Colored voters from the ballot box, the Republican party should exclude them from participation in the convention. Until recently the basis upon which delegates to the national conventions of the party were made the number of each state's representation in congress. This is still true of the Democratic Party, but that is far fewer than this if the elections were honestly conducted, and no extraneous or illegal fraternity any of the states. The apparent inequality, so far as the Republican party is concerned, is the southern oligarchies of the perilous methods and practices which some our northern oligarchies have endured and supported.

He girl became white and the judge a member of our law there would have been no court trial nor jury disagreement.

Y., May 2.—The present day sex psychology is one of the most startling conditions in social history, declared Dr. Stephen G. Zion church in Indiana in April 24. A church address here before the young people's congress of the A. M. E. Zion church. "Sex must be recognized as a power ordained by biological law for reproduction. The act of sex intolerance should be approached, never to worship." Rev. Spottedwood stated, "Never Was a Man More Worthy of the Love of a People" Judge Stephen P. Loagan, with his wife, heard the brief heard him speak at St. Michael's in New York. aths campaign d observed that he made a speech "that he had novelty speech," that he had novelty in presenting ideas, he had d 1 yldlvality despite the dece d 1 l, gwvly rough - looking d 1 l, gwvly rough d 1 o meet his slog by six inches" "We have a superinduced morality. Men and women who practice social sex liberty, nevertheless, with studied approach and cultivated technique conduct themselves in a manner which indicates their awareness of the social nature of sex liberty and their availability for social intrigue. The average today assumes an indifferent attitude toward sex and is quite passive to the trend of the modern marriage. Referring to the breakdown of modern marriage, he said that the wedding vow to have and to hold for better or worse is broken with little change. He said that couples frequently with a neat understanding by the husband and wife involved Teachers combine the modern sex delicacy, lawyers and doctors collaborate to create a new set of instructors are aptite on the sex problem." Rev. Spottswood concluded. finally counted it it was seen that Lincoln was seventh of the twelve candidates and only the first four candidate in the officiating times in after years was this man to appeal to the people for their appreciation and on each occasion the people would be told that it is true that he was defended for the United States senatorship, but it was by the adversary vote of the state senate that he was the most popular in the general election. Paul Quinn College to Hear Dr. C. H. Wesley WACO, Tex. May 2.—Dr. Charles I. Wesley. A. B. Fish university; M. B. Wesley. Be the principal speaker at the 49th annual commencement of Paul Quinn college on May 29. Dr. Wesley is a professor at Harvard University at Harvard university. He is an authority on the history of his Race. He has written several books. "The Negro in Labor" and in process "The Negro of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity." Probably the most remarkable thing about this election was not the conditions that was to be expected. But that man who had been elected state governor who was not only propertyless, but known to be extremely poor, a man who was dependent on his wife, a man who was Spartan foe to which he had accustomed himself, should make a credible showing in the election and receive 208 votes cast in New Salem, receive all but three, was unusual, indeed. But the fact that Lincoln had advocated certain local improvements, but as Dr. Wesley was recently awarded one of the $2,500 fellowships of the Guggenheim foundation to study at Oxford, England. The British West Indies Period of 1893 to 1895. Besides being a scholar and an educator, Dr. Wesley is one of the leading ministers of the A. M. E. church.

Number 14 Students in Suit Against Bus Company WASHINGTON, May 2—Damage suits will be filed against an interstate bus company unless the question of two Howard university students from a bus bringing them here because of their refusal to take rear seats is satisfactorily settled, Howard and Hayes, attorneys for the students, stated Monday. The two students, Martin Cotten and Vilian Coombs, were returning from New York city over the Colonial Stage Line, according to their statements to their attorneys, and Philadelphia. When they got into the coach that was to bring them to Washington, they took front seats. The conductor ordered them to move back telling them that Colored passengers were required to sit in the rear. The students refused to take rear seats. The conductor called a police officer, boys and told them to get out of the coach. They came to Washington on a train and brought with them their luggage. The Attorneys Howard & Huytes wrote that the company immediately and stated that if the matter is not amicably settled they will bring suits against them in behalf of the two students. there were eleven other men in the contest and doubtless a number of these went just as far along this line as he. It is unlikely that such was the true explanation of this near unanimous vote. It is likely, of course, that some of the candidates or some candidate counted in his favor, as it generally goes. Doubless, too, the redoubtable Clary's Grove boys, with their enthusiasm ready to back their force, gave weight to his candidacy, but the true explanation was the personal popularity of the man. He had more than the physical strength of a man, but nothing of the bully, and having greater cleverness of tongue than the others, never used it to their humiliation. A man, too, who had an ant, and in accord with their likeness an often risqué story, which went far in cheering their "daily walk through the dull commonplaces of village life," this man could have their votes, even though he asked the presidency itself. Such a defiant had in it much of the nature of a victory it left little or no doubt, and added something of confidence in his own powers, and possibly the encouragement of this campaign of institutions along the line of politics. Certain it is that from this period he was always frankly and directly a servant, as persistent whenever circumstances gave promise of success as any of the present day politicians or businessmen, and these in little unless it be that in his constant quest for office the aim for money was never a primary motive, but to be frequently with these others. Not again would his ambition be satisfied with the rewards offered by his success, and whose slaves were nudged for a mighter work than would ever fall to the lot of an ordinary laborer, a loomed ahead, much of preparation remained to be done, and in that day, ...
