(Mexico City, June 20th.—In a private interview with Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, is representative of The Chicago Whip gleaned the information that the big fighter had issued a challenge to Jess Willard, holder of the curious title, to fight him on any bounds he might name outside american territory.
"I going to give that big fraud all due him," said Jack. "He me and is trying to pull the over the eyes of the public." If sees to fight me, hiding behind the line like a "yellow curt" I will proceeding at once to attach the someds from the Willard-Dempsey have am, as I have always been, the heavyweight champion of the and the only fighter who ever any chance of giving me a hard belonged to my own race.

WILLIAM BOTTOMS BUYS GANKER'S MANSION ON GRAND BOULEVARD
WILLIAM BOTTOMS BUYS GANKER'S MANSION ON GRAND BOULEVARD
The home of Mr. George Liebrandt, president of the Lincoln State Bank, which is located at 3561 Grand Boulevard, commonly called the Villa beautiful apartments, has been recently purchased at a very moderate cost of Twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) by the popular proprietor of the Dreamland No. 1 and No. 2.
Mr. Bottoms at this writing is moving into his new home, his many friends that he has won with his perpetual smile, and high-class entertainment that he has furnished for them without regard to cost, are smothering him with letters of congratulations.
It was only a few months ago that Mr. B. toms "stole a march" on his friends, abdicating quietly on a hunting trip to Wisconsin. It seems, however, that he was not satisfied with the game he pooled in this snowy clime. Immediately he made a roundabout move like a reconnoitering aeroplane to Champaign, Illinois, and here he alighted, made a catch that would make Teddy feel like smiling and saying, "Gee, it's bully." It was an agreeable surprise to his friends to learn that it was the beautiful and popular Miss Leota Davis, the daughter of Mr. William Davis. The public cannot expect anything less than a happy and exemplary married life.

Refuses to Return to Chicago.
"I understand that there is a report current in the States that I am going to return to Chicago and testify in the Sol. Lewinsohn's case. The only way I will return to Chicago, will be as a dead man. Chicago did all it could to drag me into the mire, and how do I know but that some of those 'smart guys' have something up their sleeves."
Plenty of Diamonds.
Jack was loaded with diamonds, he had a thousand dollar diamond stud in his imported silk tie, two or three huge stones on his fingers, and a diamond in his watch. His wife wore several diamond rings and her husband showed me a diamond circlet he had just given her. Jack is just as fond of automobiles as ever. Since he has been in Mexico City he has purchased a red touring car and a light gray racer and is contemplating an aeroplane.
The mayor of Mexico City is very fond of the great pilistin. He has tendered him a reception at which all the "elite" of Mexico were present.

men with respect to the retention of Uncle Sam's insurance by the discharged Negro soldiers and sailors entering into civil life, Lieut. Jay Clifford, formerly of the Buffalo Regiment, and son of Hon. W. H. and Mrs. Carrie W. has been appointed special assistant in the conservation section of that bureau. Lieut. Clifford estimated that of the approximate 400,000 Negro soldiers recently serving the colors, 95 per cent carried policies averaging $7,000, making about $2,500,000,000 worth of insurance. This represents the greatest financial asset the race ever had, and Lieut. Clifford, realizing the economic power and strength of such a huge sum, is going to endeavor to so urge the discharged Negro soldiers and sailors that they will hold on to as much of their insurance as it may be possible for them to carry. The United States government is offering this insurance at lower rates than any other insurance company in the world, and it is the safest and strongest insurance obtainable because it is backed up by the Treasury Department of the United States government. At any time within five years after the signing of peace, this term insurance can be converted into any one of six kinds of insurance usually carried by other concerns. Straight life, twenty-payment life, thirty-payment life, twenty-year endowment, thirty-year endowment, and maturity at the age of sixty-two, compose the various kinds of policies issued by the government.
Deplorable as it may seem, Lieut. Clifford's investigation showed that possibly 96 per cent of all the colored men discharged thus far have allowed their premiums to lapse and have failed to take advantage of the splendid opportunity to hold on to their insurance.
BUILD APARTMENT I
Washington, D. C., June 20.—The work of construction on the Whiteclaw Apartment House is progressing steadily. The plasterers are now at work, and the interior of the massive structure is being most beautifully garnished by the most artistic mechanics. Mr. John W. Lewis, the president, is always on the job, planning to house his race in a most up-to-date dwelling.
It is the popular belief that he has other startling and pleasing enterprises under advisement for the near future. The Eagle suggests that we continue to follow the lead of this man in his building of a race future.
ALCOCK TO MAKE RIGID INVESTIGATION
Sunday, June 23, 1919, at 50th and Princeton avenue, shortly after midnight, over 500 whites attacked Ollie Harris, colored, on his way home, at 5647 Grove avenue. Harris was first shot through the stomach, and stabbed several times in the back. The noise of the mob, in attempting to smother the screams of Harris, attracted the attention of Robert Robinson.
Robinson Comes to Rescue.
Robinson Comes to Rescue.
Robinson Robinson, who resides at 514 West 54th place, ran to the scene to make an investigation, upon arriving he saw Harris lying prostrate upon the ground, face forward, while the mob was alternating in the stabbing. He immediately began pleading with them in the name of DEMOCRACY to relieve their prey, AND THEY DID, by turning upon him, shooting him several times; the shots did not have the immediate desired effect upon Robinson, because he seemed to have fought his assailants more desperately after every shot.
Changes Ammunition.
With his body riddled with bullets, Robinson was making such a headway upon his advantages that one of them suggested that they change their weapon, immediately a score of knives and razors were seen glittering in the bright lights like the reflection of a steel bayonet in the August sun, only to be dimmed by the blood of this heroe, defenseless creature. It was then that Robinson fell and bled to death. Alcock to Make Rigid Investigation.
"The situation is more serious; we had better meet it now than later," said First Deputy of Police Alcock last night. "I have instructed the precinct commanding officer to see that their men do their duty. There will be no discrimination."
NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE
WILL HEAR D'ARCY
Tuskagee, Ala.—With the approach of the time for the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League which is to be held in St. Louis, Mo., August 13, 14, and 15, plans are shapping up very rapidly for the program, which as Mr. Emmet J. Scott, the secretary, says will follow the general idea of reconstruction.
It is also significant that Mr. William D'Arcy, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, has agreed to deliver an address during the league's meeting. Mr. D'Arcy is one of the foremost figures in the advertising world and his message will serve as an inspiration and an encouragement to the league's delegates. Mr. Allen W. Clerke, secretary of the National Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau, who has co-operated with the league during the last three years in encouraging the Health Week Campaign, will also deliver one of the addresses. Mr. Clarke gave the three silver cups which were awarded in 1917 for the best Health Week Campaign, and he will present the cups this year himself.
President A. E. Malone and Secretary H. A. Smith of the St. Louis Local Negro Business League report that they have never seen such a spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation as is manifested on the part of the St. Louis citizens over the approaching league's meeting.

Benjamin Sheppard purchased a few weeks ago from the firm of Depriest & Depriest, a beautiful bungalow at 6718 Calmet Ave. A few days after moving in the modern Klu Klux Klan gave him and his family a reception at which rocks and other missiles of a more compact nature were served, and several windows smashed. Upon the second visit Mr. Smith decided to return the kindness by serving them some hot lead. Through the far-sightedness of the Hon. Wm. Riley a bomb insurance was placed upon the house.
WINE DIAMOND MEDAL.
Mrs. Antionette Bmythe-Garnes, 525 East Forty-second flare, the beautiful and highly talented wife of Dr. Harry C. Garnes, one of Chicago's most successful dentists, is the recipient of many congratulations these days on account of her wonderful achievement at the post graduate exercises held recently by the Chicago Conservatory of Music.
Mrs. Garnes was awarded the handsome diamond medal offered by Alexander H. Revel, as first prize for the best vocal rendition, it being the first time in the history of the Chicago Conservatory of Music that such a high distinction was ever won by a race student. Mrs. Garnes was formerly De-
troit, Mich., where she studied at the Detroit Conservatory of Music and later at the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music. She received her Bachelor Degree at the Chicago Musical College. Aside from possessing a wonderfully sweet lyric soprano voice, Mrs. Garnes is highly efficient with the violin and at the piano. The Whip joins with her many friends in extending hearty congratulations.

NEGROES TO CONTROL STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
(Special to The Chicago Whip)
A delegation of Negroes headed by Dr. E. P. Landers met in Jackson, Miss., for the purpose of raising fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) to arouse the interest of all qualified Negro voters in the coming elections, both local and state elections.
A Graduate of Oxford.
Dr. Landers is a West Indian, and a graduate of Oxford University. He has resided in the state of Mississippi for the last four years and has taken an aggressive, uncompromising stand to recover the stolen political rights of the Negroes in that state. In the state of Mississippi the colored people outnumber the whites by a big majority; they produce 68 per cent of the wealth, and are therefore entitled to have a voice in the direction of the policies of the state.
There are, from time to time, big bond issues and tax assessments. Negro taxpayers have to pay these taxes and have absolutely no voice in the appropriation of these funds.
Inferior Schools
"If we are to compete and are to be judged by the white man's standards, we must demand the same educational opportunities for our children, or forever wear the stamp of "inferiority." When questioned by a WHIP correspondent, Dr. Landers expressed the idea that he realizes that they've begun a monstrous undertaking, but he was confident of getting support of every Negro in the state of Mississippi
WANT BETTER BABIES
Child Welfare Work Seeks Co-operation
Though the fiscal year prescribed as Better Baby Year by the Council of Defense has ended, there are local, national and international movements to continue the work unto the ultimate achievement of better conditions, generally. Governments are making large appropriations to carry on the work. Conferences and conventions are being held. And the Visiting Committee is doubling its efforts to make the Child Welfare Department one of the strongest and most effective features of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. At the meeting of the Federation at Quinn Chapel, Monday, it was recommended that the federated clubs each elect or appoint at least one member to serve on this committee.
A greater co-operation between all departments of the Federation will be had. Through the Education Committee instructive literature and lectures will be provided for workers that they may proceed intelligently. Through the Program Committee instructive entertainments will be arranged on co-operation with the Mother and Educati Department. Through the Civic Department Community Councils will be formed. Then, too, the aid of the entire city will be enlisted. Each church, lodge, club, philanthropic and humanitarian institution and organization will elect or appoint workers to serve on the committee and co-operate with it. Names and addresses of all workers to be left to the chairman of the Visiting Committee.
As it is estimated that more than one hundred thousand of America's best world war veterans will bring their families to live in Chicago, it is imperative that we amalgamate our efforts to cope with the rising conditions. A survey of the city will be taken from Twelfth street south and from the Lake west. A statistical record will be kept and reports rendered to the assisting organizations.

MAN CAUGHT WITH BOMB IN HAND FEW SECONDS AFTER EXPLOSION
Ninety Six Thousand Dollars to Fight Negroes
After all others fail The Whip has finally succeeded in ascertaining who is directly responsible for the recent bomb escapades that have blackened the reputation of Chicago to a degree that cannot be estimated by the fairest and most elastic mind. The organization that appears most likely, from the information we have to be responsible for the prevalence and frequency of the bombs is headed by L. M. Smith, a real estate broker, whose office is located at Oakwood boulevard and Cottage Grove avenue.

Its real nucleus is twenty (20) real estate dealers.

Every woman who has taken the first air course requires the instructions in elementary hygiene and home care of the sick to complete her knowledge of practical nursing. Registration are being made now at the Teaching Center.
The fourth class in first aid will be started at Provident Aid Hospital Monday, May 19. Candidates for the next class call or write to Miss Genevieve M. Reuben, 3801 South State street, phone Blvd. 6497, or to their secretary. Any person who has paid a tuition in a Red Cross class and has not finished that course may enter another class of the same instructions without extra fee.
COLORED SCHOOL GETS MILLION
New York, June 19.—The Carnegie Foundation and the General Education Board of the Methodist Episcopal church have offered separate gifts of $150,000, $300,000 in all, to Mehary Medical College, of Nashville, Tenn., on condition that the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church and the trustees and friends of the college raise an additional $200,000 for an endowment.
Mehary College, which last year had an enrollment of 499 students, is the largest medical, dental and pharmaceutical college for Negroes in the world. Two hundred fifty of its graduates served in the medical service of the United States Army during the war.

Discover Bomb Thrower.
Friday, June —, a few minutes before two explosions occurred, one at 5143-45 Prairie Avenue, and 5008 Calumet Avenue, two brave officers from fourth precinct station, arrested a man about two blocks from where the bombs exploded, a few seconds before the arrest occurred the man was seen to throw away a package which, upon examination, was found to be a bomb, containing two sticks of dynamite, caps and fuses. Further examination brought the fact that the accused assassin operated a plumbing shop in the real estate office of Dean & Meagher at 320 East 51st Street. Dean and Meagher are both members of the Kenwood and Hyde Park property owners' association. Dean gave bonds for the man.

SOUTH SIDE.
Ask Churches to Halt Riots
The Rev. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, said to have the largest colored congregation in America, pleaded today for sane and Christian handling of the situation which has given rise in the last several months, to a series of race riots on the south side. One colored man was killed yesterday in fights and another is in the county hospital suffering from wounds which will probably cause his death.
Mr. Williams presented the issue from the viewpoint of his race to the Baptist ministers of Chicago today. He charged whisky, unscrupulous real estate men and politicians with responsibility for most of the race troubles.
"The colored man," he said, "was the first to come to Chicago and will be the last to leave. He is here to stay and his problems must be solved by Christian people inside Christian churches, and not left to unscrupulous politicians. People with unbissed minds must work out the situation. Segregation will not answer.
"There are 125,000 negroes in Chicago and more will come. Many have money and professions. They want decent places to live. Their intentions are good. But when shoved into unsanitary, uncongenial surroundings by unscrupulous real estate men, what can you expect?"
Robert Robertson, 514 West 54th place, was killed yesterday by a mob of whites at Princeton avenue and Garfield boulevard. "Sandy" Harris, 5647 Groveland avenue, is suffering from a bullet wound in the stomach, a stab in the head, and bruises inflicted by the same mob. Stockyards and Englewood police bore down upon the scene while the fight was in progress and arrested a score of men.
ROGERS McDOUGAL WEDDING
SATURDAY.
On Saturday evening, June 28, 1919,
in the parlor of Bethel A. M. E. Chureh,
Mr. Earnest Rogers will wed Miss Mary
McDougal, daughter of Mrs. Emma McDougal,
8812 Ashland avenue. Both
Mr. Rogers and Miss McDougal were
raised in Chicago. Mr. Rogers is well
known in Morgan Park, where he has
lived with his widowed mother for a
number of years. He is 24 years of age,
of clean habits and congenial and pleasant
to meet. He was also a non-com-
missioned officer in the famous 370th
Infantry (old 8th Regiment) of Illinois.
Miss McDougal is widely known for her pleasant disposition and wholesome smile, and for the past few years she has been secretary of the Bethel Christian Endeavor Society and has made many friends. She has also a widowed mother, two sisters, and three brothers. Two of the boys, Horace and Lenine, served in the "Old 8th." with Mr. Rogers. The oldest brother, Elmer, was also a soldier in the late war.
The Chicago Whip joins their many friends in wishing them many years of happiness.
Frank Lewis, better known to his many friends as "Bat," has opened a swell billiard hall, 3448 Indiana avenue. Bat has been affiliated with several places of this nature on the Stroll, therefore he has very wide acquaintance among the lovers of this pastime. There is no reason why he should not succeed, because he has a very convenient location, and from the appearance of the place money was not an obstacle to him.
Miss Anna Bottoms, the sister of Mr. Will Bottoms, the popular proprietor of the Dreamland Cafe, has been seriously ill in the Wesley Memorial Hospital. Mr. Bottoms, her brother, has spared no pains in giving her the best medical attention.
The late bulletin, at this writing reports that Miss Anna Bottoms is on the road to rapid recovery.

F. Whitney is highly success- characterization of Abraham is Washington. His comedy with the skill and care of a d actor, but it is evident that humorist within, a very seri- heart. However, he is amus- giful. J. Homer Tutt gives d color to a chorus of dancing often seen off Broadway. The d costuming of the chorus is imirable touch to a well baleal comedy. nor is compelled to call the Whitney and Tutt's Co. to the inconsistent
ofiverasing. To post the city with bills depicting "large and thick-lipped darkies," together with the chicken episode to attract intelligent race people to see a story built around the finest race institution of learning, Howard University, is indeed out of order. We love advancement and good entertainment.
GRAND—"THEY'RE OFF."
A spectaculairical comedy in four acts and twelvecenes by Billy King. Produced week of June 22.
The laughing hit for the week is unquestionably this fast race track skit, "They re Off." In keeping with the rapidity of the production, costumes are presented as often as the horse passes each quarter.
The action takes place at Saratoga Springs, tjquests of the big hotel being assembled to attend the running of the "big" hill. It moves to the track and the big hill is run.
Billy King acts spontaneous hilarity, but at times touches unconsciously the realms of truth. Yet his natural ability foreshadows this slight tendency.

is an evidence of the popularity of this attraction, and the amusement public is fortunate to have such an excellent group of entertainers.
ANDREW S. BISHOP AND CLEO
DESMOND RETURNING.
The favorite company of Lafayette players headed by Mr. Bishop and Miss Desmond will open at the Avenue Theatre Monday, June 30. All Chicago will welcome the arrival of this group, in fond recollection of their recent success. They have an excellent repertoire of new plays. One of the most expensive productions ever produced in this country is among them and the management will invest a large sum of money in it to keep up to their motto, "Noth ing is too good for the patrons of the Avenue Theatre."
GOOD-BYE BUT NOT FAREWELL.
GOOD-BYE BUT NOT TAKEWELL.
Amid tears and laughter the present Lafayette players were greeted by fifteen hundred patrons of the beautiful Royal Gardens on Friday night. Miss Allegretti Anderson, the petite reader of songs, opened the delightful bill specially prepared for the players. Adding tone and color, Miss Eleanor Wilson, the favorite of the Gardens, presented one of her original parodies, and like a shell from the famous "Black Maria's," Miss Evelyn White "stopped the show." This lady is indeed an artist in the realm of syncopated melodies. The team of Legge and McGinnity proved the laughing hit of the bill.
By popular demand the spectacular production of "Salome" was repeated for this night only.
Without notice the patrons were ushered into the land of oriental splendor and to the tune of the guitars they viewed twenty beautiful girls in gorgeous costumes dancing in pantomime for the head of "The Kaiser."
The climax of the evening was ecologies given by Clarence E. Muse to each of the players. The players responded usly until the final introduction here was a sertioism that sounded a tone of deep regret that the player's time had come to leave the city. Just "Good-bye" as the reply from the large audience, ot farewell."
&T WILLIAMS BACK WITH THE FOLLIES.
America's premier comedian is again Follies. The new vehicle is a 1, first part with Eddy Wynne, Dee and other stars under cork. As usual pack houses enjoy the drollery of Mr. Williams, and his spare moments are spent studiously keeping up with the new laughs.
TONY LANGSTON RELAXING FOR
A FEW DAYS.
Mr. Langston, the well-known dramatic critic of the Chicago Defender, has left the city in his sport car to relax from the strenuous duties of the paper and the publicity company of which he is presiden. His energetic partner, Mr. Brascher, will continue the work of the offices during his absence. After the first of July Mr. Langston has promised to travel solely by airplane.

SCREENING THE PLAYERS.
Miss Elsie Ferguson has been one of the most popular stars to come to the screen from the land of the footlights. Among her foremost stage vehicles were "Shirley Kaye," "The Strange Woman," "Outcast" and "Margaret
Schiller." Her beauty and fine dramatic skill have made her remarkable in Artert craft productions. Richard Bartheleemess tried extra parts in pictures during his junior year at Trinity College and did it so successfully that university days were soon forgotten. Hubert Brenon discovered him in a mob scene and gave him the role of younger brother in "War Brides" with Nazimova. He scored—and he has been scoring ever since. Now it is whispered that he is soon to be a Paramount star. Not so long ago Miss Swanson was a bathing belle in Keystone and Sunshine comedies. That was before Cecil De Mille discovered her remarkable dramatic abilities and aided her in scoring in "Don't Change Your Husband." Now she's headed straight for stardom
The screen has no more oddly fascinating person than Theda Bara, the Fox star, whose vampires are such vivid personages. She has held a place all her own since her now famous characterization of the Burne-Jones lady of Porter Emerson Browne's "A Fool There Was." It is interesting to note that there was no more tireless worker in the various liberty bond drives than Miss Bara.
Miss June Caprice is back as co-star with Creighton Hale in the new Copellani productions. A screen version of "Oh, Boy," will be reintroduced June, who is a Boston lassie. William Fox discovered her and she starred in her very first production, "Caprice of the Mountains," in 1915. She came to the films fresh from school.
Miss Ann Little used to do Indian squaw in the old film days with Thomas Ince. That was after four years on the speaking stage. Her advance in the silent drama has been consistent. One of her recent hits was as the Indian wife in "The Squaw Man," by Cecil De Mille. She is one of the best liked of Paramount-Artcraft actresses. Miss Delores Cassinelli, a few years ago so popular at old Essanay, has returned to the screen in a spectacular fashion. The new Cassinelli productions are released thru Pathe. Miss Cassinelli, who is of Italian descent, was a reigning favorite in the Essanay days, and she has won a popularity contest conducted by "The Motion Picture Magazine."
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
A critic on the Cineinnati Enquirer, after seeing George M. Cohan in one or two plays, named him the "official little flag waver of the American stage." Peggy O'Neil, who plays a leading role in "Tumble In," once returned to dressmaking for a living and had a shop on West Fortieth street. Alice Brady's mother, Marie Renee, was a clever actress, who was very successful in portraying the title role in "She." Julian Eltinge once worked in a store which dealt in cloth and dress fabrics so as to familiarize himself with women's clothes. This experience was useful to him later in costuming him "women's" roles.
Eva Tanguay was born in Holyoke Mass., but left her home town for the more exciting atmosphere of New York, where she started her stage career as a member of the chorus.
There is a difference of two years in the ages of Mary and Florence Nash, Mary being the elder.
Mrs. Fiske became a star at the age of fifteen. The action of her present vehicle, 'Mis' Nelly of N' Orleans,' takes place in her birthplace—New Orleans.
The Princess Theatre was originally opened by Holbrook Blinn as a 'Theatre of Thrills,' where one act pieces with a "punch" were presented? Now it has become a home of musical comedy, three "Oh" pieces having been given there, "Oh Boy," "Oh, Lady, Lady," and "Oh, My Dear."
Pauline Frederick began her stage life in the chorus? She was born in Boston on August 12, 1884.
Al Johnson was once a star feature in the "Nickelodians," doing twenty-three shows a day.
Clyde Fitch, during the eighteen years he was writing plays, made $1,500,000 in royalties.
At the age of four, De Wolf Hopper had a theatre where the audiences, actors, the manager and all were impersonated by himself.
Mrs. Vernon Castle is the daughter of a New Rochelle doctor.

LUKE SCOTT IN PHILADELPHIA
Mr. Luke A. Scott, formerly of the Lafayette players, is at the Standard Theatre with his own company. He is presenting a comedy entitled "A Midnight in Chinatown." Others on the bill are Miss Fannie Wise, Bonnie and Semoura. Sandy Burns, in a playlet entitled "One Night in a Graveyard," Stafford and Watts and the Belmonts.
AMATEUR THEATRICALS
The Elite Social Club is now rehearsing a gripping melodrama entitled "The Outcast's Daughter," to be given or July 9, 1919, in the recital hall of the Chicago School of Dramatic Art. Mme Bertha Hensley is president and general manager. Mr. Solomon Bruce and Mrs Irene Gaines are supported by an excellent cast. Mr. Clarence E. Muse director.
One of the most brilliant playlets given by amateur organizations was the production of "Who's to Win Him" at the Masonic Hall, performed by the Loma Camp Fire Girls, June 21. The ease and grace of the players so captivated the audience that they lost sight of the fact that it was a non-professional exhibit. They were enthusiastically applauded throughout the performance. Costuming and makeup were tastefully and cleverly carried out. Special mention should be made of their clear enunciation and harmonious blending of voices; in short, a breezy and amusing performance.
DOUGLAS COMMUNITY CENTER
Is giving special attention to its department of drama. The pupils enrolled date in this particular branch are two hundred and twelve. They are divided into five playlets; "Mother Goose," "Everychild," "Lohengrin," "Robin Hood," and "The Queen of Sheba." Initial performance was an earnest, intelligent one.
Miss Pauline James Lee is busily preparing her annual recital to be held at the Young Men's Christian Association on June 30, 1919. It promises to be the most elaborate and successful one since the origin of splendid Musical Studio.
Timothy Delano's Courtship, a comedy successfully produced a few months ago at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, will be repeated at the Old Mt. Olivet Church on July 5 with the same cast. The editor is pleased to say that the Misses Smith, Gaines, Marie Nurgett are assisting Mr. Clarence E. Muse in this department. On account of the repairs necessary the school will close June 26, 1919, but Mr. Muse will carry on the work of the classes during the summer at his studio.
Miss Marie Burgett of the War Camp Community Service is producing in the seventh ward the patriotic playlet entitled "The Real American Girl."
The Orpheus Club of Arts and Letters is preparing a drama at the Chicago School of Dramatic Art, "Maria and Magdalena." A romantic drama has been selected and under the direction of the school they anticipate triumph.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS ALONG BROADWAY.
(Note: Readers will do well to preserve this list for reference when these plays are presented at the Avenue Theatre.)
ASTOR.—Fay Bainter in "East Is West." The story of a quaint little Chinese maid, who falls in love with a
Most Surprising—Is
young American and, just when racial barriers seem insurmountable, turns out to be the daughter of a white missionary. Has all the ingredients of popular drama.
BROADHURST.—“Some Time.” Lively musical comedy using the flash-back screen idea. Ed Wynn, very amusing as a stage carpenter, while Mac West gives excellent comic aid as a touch chorine. Tuneful music.
COHAN'S.—“A Prince There Was.” George M. Cohan's very entertaining comedy. He plays at a literary game in which hearts are trumps and wins. Grant Mitchell now playing the leading role.
COMEDY.—"Three Wise Fools." Austin Strong's human little drama of three crusty old bachelors who are bequeathed a young woman and who are subsequently rejuvenated. Melodrama with a heart throb. Helen Menken gives a striking performance of the nerve-racked heroine, while Claude Gillingwater is a delightfully testy old Teddy Findley.
EMPIRE.—"Dear Brutus." Written with all of Barrie's whimsical insight into the human heart. What would you do with a second chance? Barrie takes his characters to an enchanted wood of the might-have-been, where they reveal what would have happened had they taken another road. Here is a scene of the rarest sentiment. William Gillette gives a compelling and haunting performance, while Helen Hayes plays the daughter who might have been with superb humanness, and the remainder of the cast is admirable, particularly the statuesque Violet Kemble Cooper. Tasteful staging, especially the magic wood. FORTY-FOURTH STREET.—"Take It From Me." A comedy with music, in which a sporty young man falls heir to a department store and runs it according to the latest musical comedy methods.
HENRY MILLER.—‘Mis’ Nelly of N’ Orleans.’ Mrs. Fiske in a new comedy of moonshine, madness and make-believe, in which she again proves herself to be one of the greatest comediennes. Excellent cast, notable Irene Haisman, who seems to have picture possibilities.
HIPPODROME.—The newest production, “Everything,” lives up to its title. It is a maize of varied attractions, ranging from dainty Belle Storey to scores of remarkable roller skaters and a stage full of tumbling Arabs.
HUDSON.—‘Friendly enemies.’ One of the best comedies of recent years, with Louis Mann and Sam Bernard at their best.
KNICKERBOCKER.—“Listen Lester.” Lively, dancy show, with considerable humor, thanks to clever Johnny Dooley. Excellent aid is given by Gertrude Vanderbilt, Clifton Webb, Ada Lewis, Ada Mae Weeks and Eddie Garvie.
LIBERTY.—“Moliere.” Interesting and at times moving drama by Phillip Moeller of the famous French playwright, with a background of love and intrigue in the court of Louis XIV. Excellent performance by Henry Miller as Moliere, Blanche Bates as the king's mistress, De Montespan and Estelle Winwood as Armande, the dramatist's wife.
LONGACRE.—“Three Faces East.” Another Secret Service German spy drama; this one by Anthony Paul Kelly, one of our most successful photo playwrights.
LYCEUM.—“Daddies.” Appealing little drama of three bachelors who adopt Belgian war babies. Amusing complications occur when the children develop along unexpected lines. Jeanne Eagles is quaintly pleasing in the leading role.
MOROSCO.—“Cappy Hicks.” A capital comedy with Tom A. Wise in a capital role, which he plays capitally with a capital C.
PLAYHOUSE.—“Forever After.” Alice Brady in a play of youthful love which endures despite many obstacles. Excellently acted throughout. It charms its audience into living once again the violent joys and heartaches of youth.
SHUBERT.—"Good Morning Judge." Light musical show adapted, remotely, from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's "The Magistrate." Built around the farcical efforts of a magistrate to escape a raid on a lively cafe, thus being arraigned in his own court. The de luxe doll, Mollie King, is featured and her brother, Charlie King, and George Harrell contribute excellent first aid.
SUNSHINE
WOMAN'S CHARACTER FREES HER
OF MURDER CHARGE.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 20.—Being a woman of unquestionable character, Mrs. Alene Robinson was able defended on a charge of murder of Orville Lumm, a white soldier from Camp Dodge, and was acquitted.
It appears that Lumm approached Mrs. Robinson on the public highway and made insulting remarks to her, pursuing her after she rebuked him. He was so persistent that she caught up a piece of cement block and hurled it at him, the stone taking effect and fracturing his skull, from which injury he died. The trial proved to be a sensational one, and Mrs. Robinson's lawyers made much of her unimpeachable character, which so influenced the jury that, in true western chivalry, they rendered a verdict of "not guilty," which met with entire popular approval.
OUT OF TOWN VISITORS
Among the out of town teachers who are attending the Chicago University this summer are the Misses Cornell Strawn and Mary Payne, of Columbia Mo., also Miss Carrie V. Simpson, of Warrensburg, Mo. Miss Simpson has just finished Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., and is the niece of Mrs G. U. Grammer, 4945 Wabash avenue with whom the young ladies are stopping.
Charley Madison, of St. Louis, Mo., a prominent saloon owner and undertaker, is here on a visit.

THE THEATRE AND THE PEOPLE
A series of articles especially written by the editor to create and develop an artistic taste for the theatre One of the most fascinating institutions that tend to complete the social fabric of life is the theatre. The magic power that holds one keenly interested lies in the fact that it is a place where you can hear a story told, thru the channels of emotion, with the company of your friends, blending their feelings harmoniously with your own. The story comes directly across the footlights, without books or printed pages to scan and study, but by means of a direct communication—looks, actions, words of human beings, living the story before the eye. We not only see and feel them but we hear them, recalling the old adage—"Things seen are mightier than things heard."
I am reminded of a little tragedy of a soldier boy and his mother The boy had lost both legs and arms during the recent conflict of human slaughter. He was passing thru his home city on his way to a government hospital, and wished to see his mother, who was cognizant of her son's misfortune. She had bravely said to her friends that it was God's will, that she was blessed to have a son to fight for liberty and freedom. Remember now she had learned thru letters of her son's ill fortune, when she approached his cot in the hospital train and saw his smiling face, she was in doubt for a moment if he was really crippled. But she lifted the covers and with a loud cry fell prostrate on seeing him without legs and arms. So you see the potent influence of the theatre is admirably summed up in that memorable adage.

THE CHICAGO WHIP
LIFE
GUARD
Edward Winkfield
Edward Winfield, better known as Kid Dixon, took the examination for life guard, and was second on the list of 192, he made an average of 98 per cent. The only regret we have is that more colored men did not take this examination.
Mr. Winfield invites his many friends to come to 26th street beach, where he is
stationed, and he will endeavor to teach them how to swim.
Some of the things he did were to remain under water for one minute ten seconds, to win in the speed test, win in towing his man, win in breaking holds, win in carrying twenty-five pound sand bag in ten feet of water.
LET'S GO TO 26TH STREET BEACH, WHERE WE WILL HAVE A COMPETENT MAN TO HELP US!
Big Bill Tate, who is boxing with Pempsey at Tolep, getting him in shape to meet the so-called champion Jess Willard, was lucky enough to meet Sam Langford three times when the price was wrong and succeeded in getting a decision. The price must have been right at Minneapolis, for Sam got an easy decision over Tate. Tate was ducking like a rabbit and clinging like a vine all through the "bout," while the elamorous spectators were yelling for action.
DETROIT STARS OUTCLASSED.
By Porter Smith.
The Detroit Stars finished their stay in Chicago by getting beaten by a score of 11-0 at Logan Square. The colored boys were completely outclassed at every stage of the game. Buck Freeman held them in the last game to six scattered hits, while the Logan Square team hit Crawford for eleven hard bingles.
The score:

DREAMLAND'S BABIES WINS
OPENING GAME OF THE
CAFE'S LEAGUE.
Bill Bottom's Babies triumphed over Virgil Williams' Royal Garden Fairies in the opening game of the Cafe League last Friday, June 20, 1919, to the tune of twenty-seven to six. Ollie Powers, the Babe Ruth of the Cafe League, went the whole nine innings. It is rumored that Teenan Jones The Entertainers, and the De Luxe will have teams entered in the league in the very near future. Next game Friday, June 27, 1919, at 3 p.m., at Washington Park.
HOUSE PASSES BOXING BILL, 83
TO 41—GOV. LOWDEN LIKELY
TO SIGN.
The bill provides for a commission of three to be appointed by the governor to have the sole direction and management of all sparring and boxing matches held in the state.
Should these three men rule fairly, the followers of this sport should increase. Those who have watched the progress of this sport in the army are
convined that it is one of the best sports known to the athletic world. Every boy should be taught boxing. It gives him confidence and the ability to protect himself. We have hundreds of men out of the army in perfect condition, among them, doubtless, are Geo Dixon, Joe Gans, Peter Jackson, Sam Langford in embryo. They only need to be taught step stepping, guarding and other finer points of the game. Then we shall expect the race to regain its lead once more in this favorite pastime.
ED. CICOTTE HAS NO SUPERIORS.
(By Wm. Buckner)
Eddie Cicotte, the idol of Chicago's baseball fans, has shown more class under the schooling of Kid Gleason than he has for the last two or three years. Cicotte is a wonderful pitcher. I trained him for seven years and know him as only few do. He belongs to the old school of pitchers that are fast passing out of the world of sportdom. He belongs in the class of Ed. Walsh, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, who made their records not with brawny arms alone, but with brainy heads. They study the game scientifically, watching for the likes and dislikes of the real batters and have enviable records of giving them the ones they do not want, and cannot hit.
Every batter has a weakness. If a pitcher watches him closely and discovers it at the same time he is able to serve him accordingly. It will be just as impossible for the batter to hit safely as for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
Baseball is a business and is to be studied seriously, if any success is to be made, Cicotte realized this years ago, and to the realization of this fact he owes his success. Nobody ever saw Cicotte eating peanuts and kidding the mascot while he was in a game. I was delighted to see Wingfield, Rube Foster's ace in the game with Detroit. He studied his men carefully as they faced him, and when he had them at his mercy, with no one on base, he would let up a little and save his arm, but when a man reached first base he would settle down and pitch as if he was the only man in the game.
My advice to aspiring pitchers is to watch Eddie Cicotte in action. You may learn something.

Bombing the Bombers
It brought to our attention through a very good and Hyde Park Improvement Association of the bomb-war that is being waged upon.
NOT PACIFISTS, THEREFORE WE WILL NOT ONLY WHEN ALL ORDERLY WORKS HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED AND THEY ARE JUSTIFIABLE.
A thoroughly cognizant of the fact that a war is not upon the innocent, hardworking, hostkind of Negroes that ought to be bombed and who for a "mess of pottage" have preached masses; (2) Those that take the platform every large word in the dictionary, are encouching one constructive thought; (3) My Owners that they should get more revered from White tenants; (4) Those who have organized vice and who will not give fifteen for the property through you and your prejudice are plenty of colored brokers in the company NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THE BOYS EDUCATED, PROGRESSIVE NEGROS OF TAKING CARE OF THEM.
Educated Negro will throw more bombs at the Germans on the retreat from Paris, are not likely to miss their objects. You will not wait until these paracidial Negroes a slumberland "but," THEY WILL BE ARE AWAKE.
Smith and members of your Association did not know that the Negro race is led by fish, compromising mollycodles who do by writing letters and holding meetings for ease-at-any-price, you would not let your name any discriminatory organization.
WHIP informs you that the compromising rapidly passing into the scrap heap of yesteryearless, intelligent Negro who recognizes and absolutes justice and fair play.
WHIP therefore warns you not to make the trade in relying upon the help of the Irish man you are appealing for assistance will lives are selfish and unjust and will the veil is too thin to fool any set of intolerant; then the bombs will be placed at the BOMBED.
It has been brought to our attention through a very reliable source that the Kenwpod and Hyde Park Improvement Association is largely responsible for the bomb-war that is being waged upon colored people in this city.
WE ARE NOT PACIFISTS, THEREFORE WE BELIEVE IN WAR, BUT ONLY WHEN ALL ORDERLY CIVIL PROCEDURE HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED AND THE POINTS IN QUESTION ARE JUSTIFIABLE.
We are thoroughly cognizant of the fact that a war should be waged upon Negroes, but not upon the innocent, hardworking, home-buying, honest Negro; the kind of Negroes that ought to be bombed are (1) The bigfake politicians who for a "mess of pottage" have preached submissiveness to the black masses; (2) Those that take the platform throughout the country, using every large word in the dictionary, anaesthizing the public without encouaching one constructive thought; (3) Those that tell White Property Owners that they should get more rent from Negro tenants than from White tenants; (4) Those who have made fortunes protecting organized vice and who will not give fifteen cents (15c) towards the establishment of a Day Nursery for colored children; (5) Those that buy property through you and your prejudiced Association when there are plenty of colored brokers in the community. BUT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THE BOMBING, THE YOUNG, EDUCATED, PROGRESSIVE NEGRO IS FULLY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THEM.
The young educated Negro will throw more bombs at them than the French threw at the Germans on the retreat from Paris. They are good marksmen and are not likely to miss their objects. You may rest assured that they will not wait until these paracidial Negroes are enjoying quiet repose in slumberland "but," THEY WILL BOMB THEM WHEN THEY ARE AWAKE.
Mr. L. M. Smith and members of your Association, we venture to say that if you did not know that the Negro race is led by an aggregation of ignorant, selfish, compromising mollycoddles who defend the race and themselves by writing letters and holding meetings for the purpose of advocating peace-at-any-price, you would not let your name appear on the literature of any discriminatory organization.
But THE WHIP informs you that the compromising peace-at-any-price Negro is rapidly passing into the scrap heap of yesterday and being supplanted by a fearless, intelligent Negro who recognizes no compromise but who demands absolute justice and fair play.
THE WHIP therefore warns you not to make the mistake that the Germans made in relying upon the help of the Irish, for the white people to whom you are appealing for assistance will soon find out that your motives are selfish and unjust and will therefore forsake you because the veil is too thin to fool any set of intelligent people for any long period; then the bombs will be placed at your doors and THE BOMBERS WILL BE BOMBED.

There has been a considerable number of inquiries coming into our office as to the policy of THE WHIP. This question is very vague and arbitrary, because the paper could have a certain policy toward business and assume an entirely different attitude toward politics or religion and be completely justified on all.
In order not to appear evasive or technical, we'll assume that the inquisitors desire to know whether this paper is to be listed as what is commonly called "radical" or "conservative." It gives us the most profound pleasure to know that there are among us those that are sufficiently interested in what is going on in the community to make inquiries. At this writing, however, we shall not commit ourselves as to classification. We shall give you in brief some of the principles that are to steer us throughout our existence be it short or long.
1st. We believe and preach the doctrine of universal brotherhood,
THE CHICAGO WHIP
convinced that this is the only thing that will make a reality instead of a vaporizing meaningless ideal.
Believe that Negroes should trade with Negroes even at once in order that the race might have an economic average will not have to compromise.
We, as a result of social conditions, are grouped in a geographic division of the city, we should do all in our power to the garden spot of the city. This can be accomplish with Negroes first, and with white people in the most friendly to us next.
Believe that honesty and efficiency should know no color. Negro boy should be taught to qualify and fight like Mayoralty, Governorship or Presidency now! Now!! the Jew, the Irish or any other group.
Believe in cooperative agitation, not only from Negroes, boys and races that suffer from prejudice, exploitation and abuse that if the time is ripe for a new progressive intellect for the Anglo-Saxon it is over-ripe for the Negro.
Believe that every Jim Crow car and discriminatory institution obliterated now, preferably through legislation, IF THE OTHER METHOD MORE DRASTIC.
Believe in compulsory education for every normal child 6 years.
Believe that every honest, fair-minded person in the U. S. foregoing principles and make himself a committee put them into operation.
Believe that the working men and women together with it should control the politics of this ward instead of the peanut-headed, professional politicians.
OUR LESSEN FROM THE EGG. In every egg is nature chicken after being subjected for a given length in temperature, we then have the chicken in embryo.
WE THE FIGHT BEGINS, if the chick would live must wage an uncompromising, incessant war upon that freedom.
In economic, social and political shell, we want to get out, we want to be free. CONSERVATIVE, DEFENSIVE WILL NOT FREE US.
On, if you call this radicalism we plead guilty and ask
because we are convinced that this is the only thing that will make DEMOCRACY a reality instead of a vaping meaningless ideal.
2nd. We believe that Negroes should trade with Negroes even at a personal sacrifice in order that the race might have an economic average for which they will not have to compromise.
3rd. Since we, as a result of social conditions, are grouped in a certain civic and geographic division of the city, we should do all in our power to make this division the garden spot of the city. This can be accomplished by trading with Negroes first, and with white people in the community who are most friendly to us next.
4th. We believe that honesty and efficiency should know no color or creed; that every Negro boy should be taught to qualify and fight like a demon for the Mayoralty, Governorship or Presidency now! Now!! Just the same as the Jew, the Irish or any other group.
5th. We believe in cooperative agitation, not only from Negroes, but from all groups and races that suffer from prejudice, exploitation and ostricism.
6th. We believe that if the time is ripe for a new progressive intelligent leadership for the Anglo-Saxon it is over-ripe for the Negro.
7th. We believe that every Jim Crow car and discriminatory institution should be obliterated now, preferably through legislation, IF NOT, BY SOME OTHER METHOD MORE DRASTIC.
8th. We believe in compulsory education for every normal child up to the age of 16 years.
9th. We believe that every honest, fair-minded person in the U. S. will subscribe to the foregoing principles and make himself a committee of one to help us put them into operation.
10th. We believe that the working men and women together with the business men should control the politics of this ward instead of the ignorant, selfish, peanut-headed, professional politicians.
WE GET OUR LESSEN FROM THE EGG. In every egg is the germ of a future chicken after being subjected for a given length of time to certain temperature, we then have the chicken in embryo. HERE IS WHERE THE FIGHT BEGINS, if the chick would live and be free it must wage an uncompromising, incessant war upon the shell to gain that freedom.
We are in an economic, social and political shell, we want to get out, we want to live, we want to be free. CONSERVATIVE, DEFENSIVE TACTICS WILL NOT FREE US.
The war is on, if you call this radicalism we plead guilty and ask no mercy.
CONFIDENCE
By H. DAVID MURRAY
We must trust a man to serve him,
Make him think he is a man;
Then the good that is within him,
Strives to do the best it can.
Call him rascal and we drive him,
From all goodness by the ban;
Then the bad that is within him
Strives to do the worst it can.
Distrust never yet has gathered,
One poor soul to God and life;
But has often further forced him,
On to hatred and to strife.
As man thinketh so can he be,
Make him think he can be great;

Strives to reach the wished for state.

The Theater and the People
is for the people, by the people, of the people, in short drama is not necessarily literature, millions have enjoyed it read nor write. An effective story about life can be told of a single word, as in pantomime. Yet the play can be of imaginative expression, and becomes the greatest most difficult of literary forms; and so we get Shakespeare, Skink.
It is an amusement, because it is an amusement it is end and high opportunity. It is in peril because we of us beliefs, cultivate an unfair and unfortunate prejudice live to make drama and the theatre low by thinking it a bad name," says a philosopher. We forget the Latin use of a thing is nothing against the thing. Yet it has an amusement like the playhouse, with its universalence the world more vitally for the very reason that it pleasures.
Future of the man is expressed while at play. The drama guard, so to say, in a child-like mood and soothingly in life's scared morals. In the spirit of play, he is single expressive. The theatre's root lies in their deep craving it, for joy; hence play is not a luxury but a necessity.
The drama is for the people, by the people, of the people, in short democratic. Drama is not necessarily literature, millions have enjoyed it who can neither read nor write. An effective story about life can be told without the use of a single word, as in pantomime. Yet the play can rise to the heights of imaginative expression, and becomes the greatest as well as the most difficult of literary forms; and so we get Shakespeare, Gothe, Ibsen, Ruskin.
The Theatre is an amusement, because it is an amusement it is engulfed with peril and high opportunity. It is in peril because we of numerous religious beliefs, cultivate an unfair and unfortunate prejudice against it, we strive to make drama and the theatre low by thinking it is so. "Give a dog a bad name," says a philosopher. We forget the Latin wisdom, the abuse of a thing is nothing against the thing. Yet it has opportunity, for an amusement like the playhouse, with its universal appeal, can influence the world more vitally for the very reason that it is regarded as a pleasure.
The true nature of the man is expressed while at play. The drama catches man off guard, so to say, in a child-like mood and soothingly injects into his soul life's scared morals. In the spirit of play, he is single and more self-expressive. The theatre's root lies in their deep craving for play, for sport, for joy; hence play is not a luxury but a necessity.

INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION IS SALVATION OF THE NEGRO
BY A. T. McNEAL The cry of a national America with national ideals and national policies has been echoed and reechoed over the United States from the time of Theodore Roosevelt's first presidency up to the present moment. To the critical thinker this immediately suggests that national crystallization in the United States means a practical cementing of the political, economical, and social cleavages of the North, and the South, and the East and the West.
The cementing of these cleavages can mean but one thing, and that is that the ideals and policies of one must be swallowed up and digested by the other. If the new nationalization of the United States means that the South and the North are divided only by geographical boundaries, it also means that the North will assimilate and absorb the poisonous bacilli of racial hatred and color prejudice that infest the South.
The Southerners have had no difficulty in perverting northern courts, northern public utilities, northern universities and even northern churches with their insidious and sinister propoganda. The southerners have had no difficulty in influencing the economic exploiters of the north to exploit the "black chattel" and it required no prolific and profound study to reach a conclusion that the crystallization of the north and the south means the inevitable attempt to destroy the Negro.
If nationalization is a force and method to destroy the Negro, let us in the unclouded light of reason and truth find a method to successfully combat this "sinister intrigue" and utter ruthlessness. If this new nationalization means national solidarity, a co-ordination of intra national policies and forces, a co-ordination of intra national capital and ideals its last and final analysis is simply a gigantic, stupendous, and well constructed plan of organization.
When the Hun ran rampant over Middle Europe in the recent world conflict, tearing down the accumulated genius of the human mind and sweeping all before him, the individual efforts of the Entente Allies was like the "chaff which the wind
Every child, before it reaches the stage of self-consciousness, expresses himself in terms of the imagination, the child is but a little actor all men have passed thru this stage, so in this sense we are all suppressed actors. The playhouse is the natural outgrowth of this latent tendency to act. (To be continued next week.)
driveth," but when Marshall Foch was placed at the head of the United and Organized Allies the indomitable Hun was crushed, teaching the world and unborn generations the lesson of constructive organization and organized attack.
The lesson is obvious to the American Negro. In order to preserve his national life and to make real and secure his God-given, constitutional and inherent rights, privileges and immunities he must fight fire with fire, that is, organization with organization. Sporadic, unintelligent and individual efforts to attack the ever present evil and ever looming spectre of American prejudice is useless and inimical to his larger interests. It is hysterical and only results in racial pandemonium. The organization that successfully attacks the evils and curses of American prejudices must be the carefully constructed and well formulated and intelligently controlled force that makes itself felt by weight of numbers and feared by virtue of its militant force and heeded and respected because of its national power.
The mission of such organization subserves all activities of the Negro in the United States. It must at once wake the Negro from his apathy, stir his lethargic blood to point him to higher endeavor and great achievement, secure him his denied ballot, abolish Jim Crowism tear down from the walls of American civilization the hideous painting of lynching, open every way upward to him and convert a perverted public opinion.
Up to some nine years ago there was no such real organization which had as its end such a mission and the necessary force and money to make its mission eventuate in a constructive program. But the coming of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has at last furnished a basis for this intelligent constructive and militant organization which means the salvation of the Negro in the United States.
The cry then is organize! Organize for securing the denied fundamental rights that mean the success of any activity of the Negro. As long as the indignities which are now heaped upon the Negro go on without any protest or fight on the part of the Negro, just so long will they continue and just so long ought they to continue.
Let the lesson have fruit and let the propaganda spread. America must be a real democracy, the Negro must have equality of opportunity on the basis of merit and the Negro himself must see and is going to see to it that these things come to pass.

BIGGS MODERN DAIRY CO
In our respective territory extending from Twenty-second to Sixty-three street, there are in operation 365 milk wagons, only two of which are operated by the above mentioned firm. In the territory referred to 70 per cent of the population are colored, and yet either of these 363 wagons operated by white firms are doing as much or more business than either of the two wagons operated by our own people. What is the trouble? The product of the Biggs Modern Dairy Co. stands the acid test of the health department the same as the others, and their wagons look as good, their drivers are far more courteous, and yet they do less business among colored people than their white competitors. Again we are compelled to ask What is the trouble?
