WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.—The transport Philippine with the entire 803rd pioneer infantry of Chicago, will dock at Newport News, Va., July 17. This regiment is made up of the last drafted colored men from Chicago, and will parade in that city en route to Camp Grant, where the men will be discharged. Many of Chicago's best known young men are in this outfit. --- Vol. 1. No. 3 TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT FUTURE MURDERS Vicksburg, Miss., July 7.—As result of last week's horrible lynching and the forcing of prominent race citizens to watch the barbarous performance, the colored people have organized to force an investigation by the state to ascertain and apprehend every man connected with the crime. This organization, according to the reports of a Whip correspondent, is very much dissimilar in its makeup to the old-time methods of doing things. This is evidenced by the choice of the best educated and most uncompromising young men in that section being placed at the head. They have written letters to every official in the state to the effect that the colored people are producers and property owners and, therefore, are responsible for whatever success the community has made, and they have suffered the last visit from the modern Klu Klux without taking steps to protect themselves, and if the state refuses to act they are prepared to do the inevitable. Officials Uneasy. Gov. Bilbo and other government officials seem to be very much excited at the unrest and dissatisfaction on the part of the colored people, but declared that they fear no trouble. They have, however, emphatically decided that no chances should be taken. Therefore, they have tripled the force of deputies and police. All public gathering places have been ordered closed, and no firearms are to be sold. MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL TO OPERATE. Mound Bayou, Miss.—The Mound Bayou Oil Mill was built several years ago at a cost of over one hundred thousand dollars. It began operation in 1913 under what looked to be favorable auspices. It suspended operation soon after the world war was in full swing, and no amount of effort was able to turn its great wheels. Since the close of the war arrangements have been made for operation again this fall. Under the present arrangements successful operation is practically assured. There is great demand for cotton seed oil and products. In fact, the demand will be greater than the supply as soon as the blockade to Germany is lifted. There is every reason to believe this is the most profitable as well as most considerable investment the race has undertaken. The stock is owned all over the United States, few holders having as much as 100 shares. OHIO SCHOOL TEACHER A VISITOR. Miss Maragret Watkins, a graduate of Wilberforce University and a teacher in the high schools at Xenia, Ohio, is the guest of Mrs. Harvey B. Saunders, 211 E. 45th St. She will spend the entire remainder of the summer in Chicago. The Chicago Whip A PAPER WITH A POLICY OVERSEAS SOLDIER PURCHASES BARBER SHOP. Johnny Duncan formerly of 365th has purchased a palatial tonsorial parlor at E. 35th. St. near Indiana Ave. The breakthrough this block by a race man means much to the colored people of this neighborhood. For many years they have tried to get a commercial foothold in this vicinity but all previous efforts failed to do the trick, because there seemed to be a syndicate especially designed to keep business of the race out of the district despite the fact that colored people were in a vast majority. Mr. Duncan possessed with the same determination that characterized the successful adventure of regiment against the Hun, would not take "No" for an answer, and this finally landed him one of the best business locations in this section. His coterie of artists consists of the following: John M. Duncan; L. H. Bradley, formally mgr. Colonial Barber Shop; R. H. Christmas; Charles E. Noble; Edgar Martin, the best known Shine Man in the City; Miss Georgia Coleman, artistic manicurist. Memorial for Soldiers Columbia, S. C., July 8—The South Carolina legislature has made the first attempt to show the world that she has undergone a change of heart in her attitude toward race people. A bill was introduced into the last session of the General Assembly to appropriate $100,000 for the erection of a memorial building in honor and appreciation of the valorous deeds of her colored soldiers in the trenches of No Man's Land. The bill passed without any serious objections on the part of any member of either house. Governor Cooper has already appointed a commission of seven members, consisting partially of race men, to supervise the construction. Editor to Enter Fight New York July 16—The political poli in this ch is reached its boiling point. Every f n is searching for the best available material to enter the race. George W. Harris, editor of perhaps the largest colored weekly in the cast, at the request of several influential citizens has decided to enter the fight. There will be a hot fight, because Mr. Harris is considered a conservative, and New York is the hotbed of radicals who have a very strong following. N. A. A. C. P. Showing Its Claws Four cases of discrimination have been taken to the court by the local branch of the Association and the White Business people in Chicago may be prepared to have this kind of action any time they see fit to avoid serving Negroes. This is the kind of work that needs to be done. The local branch also reports for two months, seventy-nine applications for assistance handled. Mme. C. J. Walker Co. to Have Big Convention Even the sudden death of Mme. C. J. Walker has not stopped the business strides of the C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co., of which she was the founder. If the plans of the present management of the company are carried out we haven't the slightest doubt but that they will. Muskogee, Okla., is to have the largest business convention in its history. Res. Walker to Speak. August 7, 8 and 9 has been chosen for the convention. Agents and distinguished leaders from all prints of the country are to be present. ev. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., has been selected as the principal speaker at the convention. One of the interesting features of the convention will be the closing of the contests between the rivals for the Mme. Walker $1,000 prize offer. JAPANESE WIN CALIFORNIA Fears White Race Will Be Driven Out and Declares "the Fight is On." (Special to The Whip) Washington, July 6.—Senator James D. Phelan of California is agitated over the increase in the birth rate of Japanese in California. He says that if the Japanese women continue to add to the population of his State at the present rate the white race will soon be overwhelmed. "I am surprised and alarmed to read the official statement," said Mr. Phelan, "that one-third of our births outside of incorporated cities and towns in Los Angeles County were Japanese. That means that one-third of the rural population are substantially Japanese and, as the rural population is the backbone of every country, the gravity of the situation must appeal to all thinking men and women. "The State Board of Health reports that the Japanese births in the last ten years have increased 3,000 per cent, and the white births have decreased about 9 per cent. I do not think we require any further confirmation of the silent invasion of California, directed from Japan, because Japan controls her nationals where they go. California is now just as Hawaii has been for some time past, a tributary colony to Japan. "The rats are in the granary, they have got in under the door and they are breeding with alarming rapidity. We must get rid of them or lose the granary. "What I mean by saying the rats have got under the door is this: The door is presumably closed against them. The 'gentlemen's agreement' stipulated that no laborers would be given passports from Japan, but women are given passports on the theory that they are the wives of the men who are already here. They, of course, cannot be bonafide wives of the men whom they have never seen, as we understand marriage. "These women work in the fields as laborers and so circumvent the agreement, and then they give birth to children and thus defeat the purpose of the agreement by increasing the horde of non-assimilable aliens who are crowding the white men and women off the land. If this is not checked now, it means the end of the white race in California, the subversion of American institutions and the end of our Western civilization. The fight is on. On which side do you stand?" President Wilson Refused to See Monroe Trotter CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 9, 1919 TH CA DINING ROOM PORTER SLAIN CREW RESIGNS BECAUSE OF LACK OF PROTECTION. Philadelphia, Pa., July 2.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in receipt of a communication stating that the dining-car crew doing service on the dining car No. 3846 of the New Orleans Meridian Line, resigned their positions because it was impossible for them to obtain protection, the dining-car conductor having failed to protect a colored waiter from assault by a white flagman which resulted in the waiter's death. Both the train conductor and the flagman are under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Administration. The resignation of the employees of the United States Railroad Administration on the ground that they cannot obtain protection because of their color would seem to merit investigation of those officials of the United States Railroad Administration who decline to afford them protection on the performance of their duty. The duty occurred June 6. The Sleeping Car Porter's Protective Union of United States and Canada will hold big convention in New York City, July 17, 18 and 19th. Mr. B. W. Merriweather, the General Secretary, announces that the general headquarters of this company are to be in Chicago. W. D. Williams, Vice-President, A. S. Barnett, Chairman of Board of Directors. Officers, Judge Harrison, General Counsel, H. R. Taylor, Assistant Secretary. President Wi to See Mon (Special to The Whip.) Boston, Mass., July 8—Wm. Monroe Trotter, secretary of the race petitioners to the Peace Conference, was flatly refused audience with President Wilson. The President's reason, it is alleged, for turning a deaf ear to the fearless leader is due to the fact that he has not forgotten the aggressive tactics used by Trotter a few years ago in his denunciation of the wholesale segregation at Washington. Determined to Be Heard. Unlike most leaders, Trotter is known for his intelligence and stoicism, and TRAINED WITH JOHNSON, WANTS FIGHT WITH CHAMP Laredo, Tex., July 4.—Captain Bob Roper of Chicago, who has been in Mexico City for the past six weeks in training under direction of Jack Johnson, arrived here today. Through his manager in Toledo, Roper today challenged the winner of the Willard-Dempsey fight. Roper goes from Laredo to New Orleans, where he will fight on July 7. 50.000 Race Men and Women wanted to join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. T. A. McNeal, 3333 State Street Boston Women Honor Judge Terrel and Capt. Marshall Boston, July 5—The League of Women for Community Service tendered an elaborate reception to Judge Terrel, of Washington, D. C., who is the only race man in the country that holds the distinction of a municipal judgeship in a large municipality. Capt. Bonaparte Marshall, a graduate of Harvard and a former captain of the 15th Reg., N. Y. N. G. (379th Hell Fighters), also shared the honors with the judge in the festivities of the evening. These men were in Boston to participate in the festivities of their Alma Mater, Harvard University. K. OF P.'S LAY CORNERSTONE AT CLINTON, IND. Clinton, Ind., June 30.—Grand Chancellor Ernest G. Tidrington of the K. of P.'s of Indiana attracts a large crowd last Sunday here, the occasion being the cornerstone laying of the Free Will Methodist Church. Mr. Tidrington was assisted in the conduct of the services by the K. of P. lodges of the district. MINORS UNDER 16 YEARS NOT TO BE EMPLOYED Instructions as to Compliance with Federal Law Answered by Vice-President Baker Vice-President Frank J. Baker has sent out a circular letter to all the Superintendents and Departmental Heads setting out the procedure to be followed in complying with the recent Federal Law regarding the employment of minors. All applicants for employment who are under sixteen years of age must be refused employment. Present employees between the ages of fourteen and sixteen may be retained, however, provided the Company is in possession of the necessary school certificate to make their employment legal. The circular describes minutely the nature of the evidence of age that must be supplied by applicants between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years. Ison Refused roe Trotter the President's refusal made him run true to form once more. He immediately dictated a letter and sent copies to every member of the peace commission, detailing several cases where race men had been "victims" of the most undemocratic class distinction. The petition read that the war, fought to make the world safe for democracy, has been won, and the colored men have done their part in helping to achieve victory; that he should receive such equal rights as are to be given the ethnical minorities in Austria, Ireland, or the Jews in Poland. Neeks Japan's Aid. In a masterly and scholarly way Trotter, after concluding these communications, immediately was successful in gaining an interview with Japanese delegates. He proved to them that they should for their own interests, as well as those of humanity at large, take an active part in assisting him in getting the Negro question before the conference because ethnically their interests were common. They promised him their united support. NORTHWESTERN FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS IN SESSION. Grand Forks, N. D., July 5—The Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held their annual meeting here from July 1 to 3, inclusive. Mrs. L. Bessie Turpin, of this city, was in charge of the arrangements. Mrs. Johanna Snowden Porter, of Chicago, and other prominent colored women were here to attend the session. Pistol Shots Exchanged Following Insult Pistol Shots Exchanged Following Insult Bisbee, Arizona, July 7.—Five persons were wounded in a fight here between the 10th U. S. Cavalry and civilians at midnight, last night. The colored boys came here from Fort Hanchuca under the command of Col George B. White, to participate in the fourth of July parade. Everything was running as smooth as Lake Placid until George Sullivan, a military policeman from the 19th cavalry cursed one of the troopers as he passed. Citizens Join Fight. The abused soldier landed heavily CARRY PREJU-DICE TO EUROPE London, England, July 8, 1919 (Special to the Whip): The change of continents does not seem to have the slightest effect upon the pale sons from the south, who were nabbed against most of their wills into the clutches of the recent draft and sent to France to fight to make the world safe for democracy. Like a victim of the yellow fever they have spread their contaminating disease of race prejudice into the portals of London and Liverpool. Mobs Formed Through the influence of the southernners several hundreds of the lower element of whites were induced to attack the brave black boys from the torrid climes of Africa. The mob was led to believe that no woman was safe as long as the Africans remained in the vicinity. The activities on the part of the bloodthirsty south was due to the admiration the English and French women had for the colored boys because they had made such unparalleled record in the trenches. Resent Treatment. The propagandists were very much surprised when the Africans refused the protection of the police and formed themselves into platoons heavily laden with ammunition and began to fire with an accuracy that is only characteristic of men who have had the best training along the line of self-preservation. The mayor of London has issued orders that there was no room in the domains of his city for race prejudice and, further, that anyone caught engineering this kind of trouble would immediately be brought to trial and punished. POLICEM. N DROWNS. Indianaapolis, Ind., July 8- Saturday morning John Newby, a member of the police department of this city for the past nine years, fell into Fall Creek while fishing and was drowned. He was going down the embankment and at the same time was trying to adjust a fishin- line when the accident happened. His body was found a short time later in about eight feet of water. TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY RE TURNS TO COLUMBUS Columbus, N. M., June 24.—The Twenty-fourth Infantry is on its way back here from the border after penetrating into Mexico and routing the Villa forces. The Villista band is said to be scattered and are in a bad way for food and clothing. Many have been wounded and a number have been abandoned on the trail. If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It FIGHT ots Exchanged ving Insult over Sullivan's right eye and again over the left. This concluded the first act. During the intermission he proceeded to take the Military Policeman's arms away from him. At this instant the white civilians and police who had been watching the performance decided to become actors in behalf of Sullivan. Ordered to Disarm The policemen were not in the play very long before experience taught them if they wanted the fight to end as they usually do in that section it was necessary to disarm them. The soldiers refused to disarm at the officer's request. A general alarm was then sent out to disarm all negroes. In the process of disarmament over a hundred shots were fired. Fourteen of the troopers were arrested and turned over to the military authorities after the trouble had subsided. we need for all battle for more than two hours, the citizens had flown and only a few officers were left, and they were wounded and couldn't get away. The wounded were Deputy Sheriff Josefus Hardwick, a Mexican woman and three troopers. First Cavalry Rushed At the request of the mayor troops of the first cavalry were rushed to the scene to assist the military and city police in preventing a new out-break. At this writing the authorities are in doubt as to whether it is advisable to let the 10th remain in this vicinity. WHITE BOARD OF TRADE WILL CO OPERATE WITH COLORED BOARD Knoxville, Tennessee.—White man in the South has begun to realize after groping for two hundred fifty years in the darkness of prejudice and conceit are about to wake up and walk into the light in clarified reason. For the first time in history they have recognized the Negro as being an economical factor in the community. At a meeting held in Knoxville, Tennessee, by the colored board of trade, a civic and commercial organization whose object is to control a larger amount of patronage from colored people and at the same time better the general civic conditions, was visited by a committee of white men from the board of commerce and asked to work in conjunction with them, because they realize that the interest and welfare of one was co-linked with the interest and the welfare of the other. Professor Harry Clark (white) is chairman of the committee and declares that he will assist in every way possible to better co-operation between the colored and white organization. Professor Clark says this plan of co-operation has been in the minds of the white people for some time, only to be ripened by the persistency and competency of the colored men in their organization. There'll be better times in Dixie. MALONES TO ENTERTAIN DURING BUSINESS LEAGUE'S MEETING. St. Louis, Mo., July 7—Elaborate preparations are being made by Aaron E. Malone and wife, heads of the Poro College, for their entertainment of the newspaper men and delegates to the National Negro Business Men's League, which convenes here next month. This couple will spare no pains to see that all visitors to this city are given a royal welcome.

On the far northwest corner of the Pacific coast the effort among our race women to maintain the scale of true Democracy would be a wonderful incentive to the makers of laws and leagues in that far eastern city of select culture and brain of this great commonwealth. Nothing could be more envious than their sturdy progress. These are the zealous, ambitious, yet conservative women that are paving the way for future America. After listening to an interesting program a dainty luncheon was served by Mrs. J. W. Stanley as hostess. Visitors present, N. B. Wyatt, J. H. Greer, B. W. Merriweather, of Chicago, and E. M.

They can play with their toes so seriously with a facial expression that is inimitable for the serio-comic vein, and their wits are sharper than any of their elders. My sister had a baby, that, when it was about three years old, could hardly talk, and yet it used to understand what we said so well that we had to use the utmost precaution in our conversation. We never dared to speak the word "candy" in its presence, so we used to spell the word out to each other. The next day that child memorized the letters and repeated them in a peremptory tone. It was a very new laugh that child had—on us. No, I don't believe there is a new laugh that isn't related to humor as old as the hills. Some jokes are even older. "In my own long and preposterous career of getting laughs, there have been times when it looked grey and gloomy across the footlights. Those were the times when I was trying out a new song, when I could feel it dyes, and I seemed to be hanging on by first one finger, then another, till there was only the little finger left to hold on by. "Yes sir, the new laugh can be awful shy, it can be a timid, tiny little thing that turns against you, and leaves you to perish where you stand, and often does. "Getting a new song is an experience very much like duck-hunting. Of course, there are all kinds of ducks, but if you prefer the mallard, you want a mallard, that is the only kind of a duck you are hunting. But as the mallard does not come within reach, what's the good of your first-class gun and your atractive duck-shooting suit? "I have often wondered whether an audience does not violate its constitutional rights when it refuses to laugh. When an audience has paid money, including war tax, to be amused, why isn't it? It has every right to be, and yet sometimes there are actions in the audience that indicate it is not. Sometimes they blame actors, and yet the actor believes he is funny. Is it his fault if the audience is not happy?" "The morbs are born in New York of speedy, but unthrifty parentage. They congregate in places where the lights are glaring. As time rolls over them, they gradually go blind and deaf, acquiring a facial paralysis. They have seen so much, they know so much, and they have so little in return for their wisdom that they have become morbid. Honestly, it makes your heart ache to look at their faces. They seem to be spending their money like dead men, as though they didn't care what happened. "Now there is a type of New Yorker who goes to a real office at nine o'clock in the morning, conducts a business of his own, and goes to the theatre three times a week. He usually enjoys himself. He is one of the nine-o'clock-in-the-morning boys. He is successful, but the morbs are late risers, late financiers, and late nighters." Negro Art Exhibit It will be interesting to the general public to know that the National Association for Negro Artists are holding a free exhibit of "oil canvases" in the recital room of the Chicago School of Dramatic Art. Critics from the Chicago Art Institute will give lectures Friday, July 11th at 8:00 p. m. This is an unusual treat as there are about sixty-three canvases. The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE "BUSINESS"-PLAYLET AT ARMORY THE ARTIST'S MODEL By F. L. HOLMES President of the National Association of Negro Artists Since art is the reflection of earthly creations, models of natural object are necessary to aid in producing true reflections in picture form. When a picture is in imagination, designed by the artist, and execution is desired, the original of his mental conception, whether it be a rose, a tree, a cloud or human being, is needfully sought for its image to be transferred upon the canvas. Natural models are chosen by the artist in fondness and admiration for them. Each group of designed creations has its own human admirers and worshipers, devoting their life's moments copying for excessive gain or for the sake of art, their likenesses, and, also that of their relative surroundings. thus shifted from one chair other until the pictorial can be visibly realized in arti tion. And at the completion of ing masterpiece, intelligent beholding the painted ret without difficulty see that a depicted in the painting are ness idealized. It will reserved by observers with knowledge of art, that one been artfully engaged ther prosecution of the concepti t. The artist openly worsl and aims at realistic produc for he is aware that art is reflection of natural creati is not apprehensive of the The tree lover beholds all trees in paramount joy and artistic inspiration; his delineating forces are spontaneously stirred to action at the beautiful and interesting view of one or a group of variegated trees. All trees animate him; they betwitch his human thinking and idolizing forces. We may therefore observe by examining his artfully executed canvases, trees in most pleasing arrangements of various natural designs. The tree artist does not devote all his earthly moments sketching or painting images of only one kind of tree, however majestic and dignified its structure or delightful and gratifying its design for all trees of sound and grandeur appearance attract him in irresistible fascination. He finds beauty and color; he sees dignity and elegance in all elevated trees. It is thus with the artist of flowers; he is passionately fond of all fragrant creations; he sees beautiful color and godly grace in the aromatic plants; he therefore in sublimity gathers all obtainable flowers of wonderful designs to place their images on canvases stretched. But the artist of human beings and human faces moves on in tender emotions and subtle sentimental quarters and desires to picture it, for glory or for material gain, he seeks and chooses the original human creation of his idea to serve in the capacity of model. Whether the conceived subject is of an individual in an interesting posture and conveys a touching or simple story, or is composed of several various beings and imparts a story of human significance and intense pathos, he will employ but one model to pose in one or in different characters grouped in the subject. The human model will be successfully adjusted in the postures of the imaginarily designed figures; the model will be SCREENING THE PLAYERS Alma Rubens, that dusk Jewel who formerly shone for Triangle and Exhibitors Mutuak, has gone to Pathe, where she will carry out her own dramatic ideas. A story by Daniel Caison Goodman is her first—"Hagar Revelly." The favorite theatrical prediction right now is that Constance Binney will be the queen ingenee of the coming season. At present in "39 East," a prosperous comedy. Remember her, with sister Faire, in "Sporting Life!" Dorothy's latest is "I'll Get Him Yet!" Gish the second, a Juvenile Eva Tanguay of the screen, has been disturbing things generally since "Hearts of the World" including her mother's flower garden. NOT married. Evelyn Gosnell was the sun-topped sensation of last season, in "Up in Mabel's Room," the frisque farce which exploits Hazel Dawn and Enid Markey. We will see Miss Gosnell soon as formed—and is now playing "A Very Good Young Man." (Lasky.) The quint charm of curls and crinolines is Mary Pickford's. She might have stepped out of an old frame in a colonial drawing-room to grace these pages. We know her of late as the mischievous Judy in "Daddy Long Legs," a James Montgomery Flagg heroine. Would it be impertinent to say that Mollie King's exceptional support helped her to her present position in great American Drama? After a suc A Business Stimulant That's Most Surprising-Is a Regular Dose of Advertising thus shifted from one character to another until the pictorial conception will be visibly realized in artistic satisfaction. And at the completion of the gratifying masterpiece, intelligent beings onholding the painted reflection will without difficulty see that all the figures depicted in the painting are of one likeness idealized. It will readily be observed by observers with but little knowledge of art, that one model had been artfully engaged throughout the prosecution of the conception. The artist openly worships realism and aims at realistic productions of art for he is aware that art is but the true reflection of natural creations; but he is not apprehensive of the realizations that the course he follows is void of the realism desired. It is not realism when a powerful subject that requires a diversity of human images is skilfully portrayed and all figures in the finished picture are exact reflections of his only posed model. The face of the artist's ideal model, however, strong or beautiful, tender or coarse, is a face of a distinctive design of an individual being, and transformation is indeed impossible. Human faces may bear remarkable resemblance to certain others, yet each human face has a discriminating distinctness. If the artist's ideal being bears a face long and thin, all painted characters in the picture will be thus imaged. Though the artist attempts to disguise his model to procure a particularly desired character, his laborious efforts will indeed be ineffectual, for the long and thin face will be directed at close scrutiny. He may add youth to one figure, and add antiquity to another; he may place a smile on some and a frown on others; such unnatural diversification is indeed remote from realism. This artistic deficiency is notably prevailing among the illustrations of the innumerable extant publications. Our foremost illustrators will picture a story of love, and lovers, and goth counter and courted will bear the facial likeness of their model. That the reader may distinguish the depicted lovers, the artist renders one image in masculine clothes, and the other in feminine apparel. He also lengthens the counter's nose or darkens his hair and eyes; he adds height to his stature by elongating the image; he will shade the check to project the facial anatomy and to denote strength. But even then the countenance of the painted lover will be a distorted likeness of the courted maiden and of the rosed model. cessful season in in "Good Morning, Judge!" she is returning to the screen. Richard Barthelmess' success in celluloid may be partly attributed to that uplifted expression with which he seems to say: "Girls, you may write me fan letters, but remember, if you wish a reply, always to enclose stamps!" Back in the Essanay days they called him "Wash," and he used to provoke all the girls because he was F. X. B.'s screen nemesis. Bryant Washburn re- Just Think George M. Cohan writes his plays and songs with a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. The youthfulness of Fannie Ward is one of the oldest traditions of the stage. Effie Shannon, co-star in "Under Orders," has not complained about the jealousies of the other women in the cast, because there are no other women in the cast. Laurette Taylor prefers to be known for her clever acting rather than for her clever dressing. She does not care to be called "A Clothes-Peg." A New England spinster once informed Ruth Chatterton that the work of the young star was delightful, especially in "Daddy-Longlimbs." Mary Pickford is said to earn a million dollars a year. That must be at the rate of one hundred thousand dollars a curl. Julia Sanderson lives on a diet of peaches-and-cream. THE CHICAGO WHIP ST ELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC By CLARENCE E.

No, the enlightened persons having charge of an institution, although a creation of the people is conceded to the educational in intent, continually strive to improve the reading taste of the patrons by all manner of devices, they refuse to buy trash, they frown upon filth, they exercise a benevolent tyranny with regard to the inclusive and exclusive of boks. There is another idea that the so-called higher drama is so high as to be out of sight, and that plays really worth while must be undramatic, stupid and sad in other words, that culture means Misery. It must be made evident that by "best" we mean what is wholesome, enjoyable, not too good for human Nature's daily food, thoughtful, but not entirely intellectual. In short a protest against Commonplace, indecent Comedies and vaudeville with one theatre in our city which should be counted on to present clean, wholesome, pleasureable plays, those in the Community who wished to giggle at double meanings and rejoice in undraped anatomy, would still have ample opportunity, but others, with finer tastes, might have their proper food. And even the giggles, (human beings capable of both good and bad) might be attracted to some thing better, certainly the good would have a constant tendency to kill the bad. As to the selection of plays that have literary nature we must in a sense rely upon capable critics. There are a good number of dramatic critics scattered over the land who possess intelligences, honesty of purpose, training and a sense of higher possibility in their calling. The able critics are by no means all in New York, nor are all the critics there corrupt. To be perfectly frank with ourselves, the main trouble is with us, the theatre going public. It is idle to shift the blame to the shoulder of actor, manager or any other seapegoat, the chief sinner is the citizen who refuses to see anything in the playhouse but a low, frivolous form of meaningless amusement. All have a duty here. We can help individually and collectively. In the first place, we can go to the theatre, instead of turning our back upon it, and next, we can go to it intelligently, by which I mean, we can bring culture and conscience to bear upon the theatre habit. To go to a theatre intelligently, is to know the significance of what you select to see, and to demand that it should truthfully show life, give the pleasure proper to art and, in the broad sense, do us good. If you cut off any one of the three from the desirable activity of the playhouse, you cripple its power and shade its function. If you cut them all, you have nothing left but filth, frivolity and fashion. (To be continued.) "DREAM CITY" The greatest event in the history of drama will be at the 8th Regiment Armory from July 31st to August 1st. Mr. Clarence E. Muse has written a playlet entitled, "Dream City," which portrays a veritable white way of race enterprises. This is a new and novel adventure in the dramatic world, and should be instructive as well as encouraging to young race business aspirants. Judge W. M. H. Harrison will make the principal address on the first night, "Pooling Race Finance." The most popular business participant will receive a silver loving cup valued at $100 dollars. Now on display at the Colonial Barbershop. While Broadway is being over burdened with farce comedies and musical plays, the patrons of the Avenue are getting their fill of "Old Style Melodrama." Yet this week's offering is by far a better constructed play than the previous ones. Theatre Chats The Editor will publish weekly any letter on theatricals with names of addresses. Chicago, July 7. Dramatic Editor of the Chicago Whip: Of all the cheap clap trap dime novel plays presented at the Avenue Theatre from time to time during the last fifteen months, the "Fatal Wedding" of last week, was the limit. The play is without any real dramatic merit that appeals to the intelligent mind of today. Mr. Weinburg and Mr. Forrest or whoever is responsible for the selection of the plays, showed a painful lack of judgment and appreciation for the support given them by the people of Chicago, in presenting last week's offering. The play with its "Where are the papers?" "Sobe stuff," "Raid of the villian's hut on the cliff," the heroine's escape over a chasm by means of a convenient rope, followed by the villian, who is precipitated to the yawning waters below, the rope being cut by the heroine's over-grown ten year old daughter, is all rot and should not have been presented to a people who have learned to know and appreciate good plays of whatever kind. The fact that the players were obviously at a disadvantage and poorly cast, as there is nothing to the play, was only exceeded by some of the incongruities the audience was asked to swallow, example: Jessie and Frankie were very diminutive property infants when they were surreptitiously taken from their father's house by the mother aided by the servants, but a few years afterwards when Jessie ceases to be "property" and appears in the flesh, she is overly large for her age, while poor Frankie remains "property" and is about as large as he was when we first saw his precious form being carried from his dad's home ten years previous. Let us have no more ancient and meritless plays like the Fatal Wedding because they are at once a travesty on dramatic art, unfair to the players and an insult to the intelligence of the audience. Give us plays of merit that instruct, interest and amuse. It is said that the theatre is an educational institution, but such plays as the Fatal Wedding and some others we have seen at the Avenue recently, make one feel like committing murder, or preferring charges against the management for highway robbery. When given a vehicle of merit and properly east, the players handle their roles with a high degree of professional skill, and it is but just to them that they should be given something that is worthy of their abilities, and not something that disgusts them as well as the audience. The management also has but little Chicago Drama 459 EAST 2 CLARENC DIRE SPECIAL SUMM WRITE OR CALL Chicago School of Dramatic Art 459 EAST 31st STREET CLARENCE E. MUSE DIRECTOR SPECIAL SUMMER COURSE WRITE OR CALL FOR INFORMATION s a Regular Do Personality Individuality respect for his patrons, in allowing ice cream cones to be peddled through the audience on the main floor. Most of those who occupy seats on this floor do not go to the theatre to eat ice cream cones, nor do they wish to have their clothes spoiled by having ice cream dropped on them by the vendor who reaches over them to make a sale to some "handkerchief head," who has the price to buy a seat on the first floor, but hasn't common sense and self-respect enough not to sit up in a theatre and "gulp down and lick" an ice cream cone or drink the contents of a pop bottle, much to the annoyance and disgust of those who have a sense of and appreciate the fitness of things. Again, the management should put in a few electric fans to relieve the insufferable heat and stuffiness of the theatre these hot nights. Permitting the men to remove their coats, is a poor substitute for this lack of consideration for the comfort of the patrons. Cheapness doesn't pay in the long run, so let us have the fans.

Bishop in the role of Tom Silverton is the picture personified, as painted by the author, "the Man With a Heart." A consistent delineation throughout. In keeping with the times Cleo Desmond, tripped down the romantic land rhythmically to the "happy ending." With youthful aniamtion, Chas. Olden transplanted "Burton's Red" into a "kid" full of "pep." Not withstanding the "stagey" attitude of this young thespian, J. I. Criner is slowly but surely penetrating the embodiment of the dramatic technique. A little more attention to realism will rapidly increase the dynamic force. Excellent and forceful as Mark Beveridge. Emotional is the part of Hud Bryson, the central character of this drama. Clear enunciation and temperament are the elements highly developed by Arthur T. Ray in this unusual Cast. The new or "Extra" girls were attractive lending "mob" color for the big locomotive.

The Value of Advertising By H. David Murray In these days of strenuous competition no merchant or shopkeeper can afford to sit idly by and leave their business in the hands of fate and expect to succeed. The present age demands that we emulate the progression of the day if we would keep step to the music of advanced business methods. The progress and success of today especially in the business arena is marked to a very great extent with printer's ink, without the use of which one may not expect to successfully compete with his surroundings and the natural cunningness of his experienced competitors. The business man or woman who is regarded as successful merchants or shopkeepers are those who have come to learn the value and necessity of advertising and who apply a set rule for keeping their business activities constantly before the public. Many business people whom I have called on from time to time flout the idea of advertising, they seem to regard it as an absolute unwarranted and unnecessary expense, they do not seem to have the remotest idea of the value of advertising. It does seem so very strange to me to think that a man or woman will invest hundreds of dollars in a business venture and then sit idly by and see their hard-earned money dwindle away day by day without attempting to inject a little "Pep" for the prolongation of the life of that which in many cases represents their life's earnings. If a man cannot afford to advertise his business, he can ill afford to enter business in the first place. Our advice to such store-keepers is to let your money remain in the bank where you will be almost reasonably sure of three per cent at least. Mr. Storekeeper, don't let your business go by default, wake up! wake up!! and become a real competitor in your respective line by conducting your business along the recognized and principles of successful storekeepers. Remember this— The great big bank or little store. Must advertise if they endure. Your carefree business will close its eyes. And die if you don't advertise.

He has brains, ‘something the aver. age ball player is not annoyed with.’? He has speed, he has the ability to think, and the guts to attempt to execute his thoughts. He is about two thoughts ahead of the ball players of today, While training the White Sox Club we were playing Detroit at Detroit in the ninth inning with the score tied, Cobb ix up. He hits a fly ball over second base about ten fect, Ping Bodie, who is playing center at that time came in at top speed to try for the ball, Cobb has turned first going to second. Slows down as though he was going to stop. ‘The ball drops at Ping's fect, Cobb, who hay never stopped, puts on all gears, going to third. Horie hesitated for a second, gets set for the throw and lets go of the ball. Cobb looks to see where the ball is, and judges it will hit in the base line near third base. Lee Tannehill was playing third and stoops to get the ball on the bounce as the throw is short, Cobb slides just ay the ball hits and hits ball and base about the same time. ‘The ball bounds into the Detroit dug-out. Cobb is up and seores before the ball is recovered. ‘So they call it a day’s work. Raymond Schalk, the ‘World’s Greatest: Cateh ‘er,’ of the White Sox Ball Club, is the ‘one player that Cobb docs not fool often in a season, When Ray sees Cobb ‘lose eis mind’? and start to run, no matter what base he ison he thinks the safest place for the ball is in the eatcher’s hand, and the cateher’s foot on the home plate, ‘The ball players are just as de- sirous of seeing Cobb perform as their ‘‘eountry cousins,’” Every bench warmer, club house boy and the blase office force has business down stairs when Cobb is up; he is without a shadow of a doubt, the most valuable ‘man in baseball. He draws more peo: [ple to see him than any three stars in baseball; I have asked him how he doped his system, he said, ‘there was not any system.’’ He would stand on a base and think what he could do to surprise the man who held the ball. I ays seen him on second base, start ‘to third, just as the catcher returned the ball to the pitcher, and nine out of ten eases, the pitcher with the hurried throw to third will jar a fifty-cents ad mission loose from his seat while Cobb ‘trots home.

I started to piteh in 1914 which was my first year in base ball, At that time I was with the Chicago Union Giants then owned by Peters. I pitched thirty-seven games that season being returned win- ner in 30 of them the season of 1915, 1 signed with Mr. Rube Foster of the American Giants Ball Club and from that time until now I have played for him, Ihave found Mr. Foster to be a square fellow and a good friend even to those who are not deserving. In my first season with the American Giants, he did not allow me to start a single game, he used me as a relief piteher; of course this was not hard to take. He had a wonderful pitching staf’ that vear, atl men who were capable of finish: ing their games, I would sit on the bench and decide what kind of ball T would pitch to the hitters in this way T learned the likes and dislikes of the hitters. I felt that T was quite ready to go but Foster said, ‘wait.’ At the start of the next season I had all the confidence of a seasoned pitcher, so he decided to start me. He did and I won my game and have gone along nicely ever‘sinee with the exception of the season of 1916, I snapped a tendon in my elbow in Kansas City. I had decided I was done. Foster said, ‘No, you are not done for you have not started good yet. What you need is a good long rest.’? I followed his adviee as T had done before. Layed off a while, had a good rest, returned to the game and found that my arm was 0, K. I was de- lighted to find Foster right again, He has given me the benefit of his years of experience, gained by him while piteh- ing. A young pitcher ix indeed for- tunate to have an experienced pitcher who has the art of fooling the hitters at his finger ends and better still, is al- ways willing to assist you, If I am con- sidered a good pitcher whieh is my wish, Mr, Foster should have full eredit for it. You asked that I give you in my opinion the best ball game I ever pitehed. 1 think niy master-piece was pitched at Palm Beach in 1918, Joe Williams IRON MAN TAKES MOUND IN 10TH AND CUBANS LOSE Schorling 's Park, Sunday afternoon.— The American Giants took one of the most exciting games this afteraoon from the Cuban Stars, winning in the tenth frame.

He studies his games, he sits during a game looking at what is being served to the hitters as they face the other pitchers, remembering their weakness and stowing this in formation for future use, He breezes along when there is no one on bases, should a hitter get on, he tightens up, using all the cunning of the fox that he ix to get the batter in the hole. He seems without nerves, cool, calm, and deliberate as a seasoned veteran, he has an ideal disposition and he is one of the greatest pitchers, his color is the only thing that costs him ten thousand dollars a year.

Dynamite Dynamite One of the old school politicians called into the Editor's office to ascertain his reason for the attack upon "Kernel Simmons" in last week's editorial, "The Glory of Death." He admitted all that was said was true, but vociferated that the "Kernel" WAS A GOOD FELLOW—AND A GOOD ORATOR. We haven't the slightest idea what the gentleman meant by good fellowship, it is too arbitrary to have any significance, a burglar or a pickpocket could by dividing his loot be a good fellow with his or her respective gangs and at the same time be a menace and a perilous parasite to the community. We have, however, a slight conception of what qualifications that all men must possess before they can wear the coveted title of an Orator. First, he must have some constructive information, he must be thoroughly acquainted with the social, economical and political needs of the people. He may have the eloquence of Demosthenes or the volume of an April thunderbolt, but if he is not acquainted with social, political and economical needs of the people it is just as impossible for him to be an Orator as for a catfish to swim the torrid arid sands of the Sahara Desert. IT is the Policy of this paper; first. Discuss all public men and questions that affect the people in the light of reason instead of primitive sentimentality. 2nd.

THE CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER, WHO IS DESIROUS OF ERECTING A SUBSTANTIAL BUILDING, REALIZES THAT HE MUST DO SOME EXCAVATING AND IF NECESSARY WHEN HE COMES IN CONTACT WI LARGE BOULDER, HE MUST NOT HESIT TO DRILL A HOLE PUT IN HIS DYNAMIC Dong. 410 LIGHT HIS FUSE AND BLOW THE USELESS IN ORDER Treate St. ALUELESS ROCK INTO ATOMS Drex. 470 TO MAKE A PLACE FOR THE FOUNDATION OF HIS STRUCTURE. WE have plans, workmen and material for a new race building that will be sufficiently tall to keep prejudice from its battlements, sufficiently substantial to withstand all storms, sufficiently beautiful to arrest the attention and admiration of the world. But before we can build, WE MUST DYNAMITE SIMMONS AND ALL OF HIS TYPE ONE BY ONE. This type of men have taught Negroes that the Republicans have a mortgage on them. We feel duty bound to tell them that if it once held the mortgage they have sold out to the southern Democrats who have foreclosed BY JIM CROWING, LYNCHING AND DISFRANCHISING. This type of leader must go. The proof of his inefficiency was brought to light in his Monday evening speech at Olivet Baptist Church, when he said, "I judge a man by his heart and not by his mind." What fallacious reasoning. Suppose a Doctor was attending your family and had a heart as pure as a lily but did not know how to diagnose your case or prescribe for you, and with his goodness gave you bychloride of mercury for cascara. Would you excuse him on account of his good intent? No. No! No!! The next Doctor you called you would reason like the modern Negro reasons, YOU WOULD JUDGE THE DOCTOR BY HIS HEART AND HIS MIND, BECAUSE ONE IS NO GOOD WITHOUT THE OTHER. MEN WITH GOOD HEARTS AND WEAK MINDS MUST NOT EXPECT FOR 10,000,000 PEOPLE TO TRUST THEM AT THE HELM. WE have in our midst plenty of men who have both heart and mind, men who have done constructive work, L. K. Williams, Dubois, Jas. W. Jonhson, Owens, Harrison, Randolph, Cook, Bradden, Hall, and hundreds of others. Help us do the dynamiting, they will do the building. Constitutional Convention THE time is rapidly approaching for us to nominate and elect delegates to the great Constitutional Convention of the State of Illinois. We all know that this will be one of the most important events in the history of this state and will have a tremendous effect upon the future of the Negro of Illinois. The civil and political rights and privileges which we now enjoy are unsurpassed by the citizens of any commonwealth in the Union, and it is the pride and boast of colored people in Illinois that the constitution of their state is one of the best in the country. In view of the fact that many states have amended and changed their constitution to the great detriment of the civil and political rights of their colored citizens, we do not know what may happen at Springfield. This is especially true when we consider the vast amount of race prejudice in the United States and the efforts which have been made to restrict and destroy his civil and political rights. Therefore we cannot take any chances. We must select the very best men we can find as delegates. BEAR in mind that the constitutional convention will not be a conference or assembly of some religious denomination. It will not be a convention of some political party. It will not be a meeting of business or trade. It will not be a session of some great fraternal or social organization. The constitutional convention will be called to consider and make changes in the constitution of Illinois, and it is absolutely necessary that representatives have certain qualifications. FIRST of all, he must be a lawyer who is a master in framing and debating questions of constitutional law. It is not sufficient that the proposed delegate is a lawyer who has a good practice; that he holds a good political appointment; that he is well known or that he is a good talker. He must be a lawyer who is thoroughly informed in all questions which relate to the interpretation and application of constitutional words, phrases and statutes. You may be a good minister, a good politician or a good business man, but unless you are recognized as an authority on constitutional law you lack one of the most essential qualifications for a delegate. SECOND, he should have had experience as a member of the General Assembly. The constitutional convention will meet at Springfield, the great majority of its members will be former members of the General Assembly and the convention will be similar in many respects to the General Assembly. Any delegate who is not thoroughly familiar with the details of drafting and passing legislative measures will be handicapped as a delegate. THIRD, we want a man who will be true to the best interest of our race. We do not want any professional race leaders or orators. Chicago is full of so-called race champions, who make public profession of love for the Negro, and we all know that they are doing it primarily because they are seeking political appointments or financial consideration. They pose as race leaders, but they are nothing more than selfish politicians who are promoting their own private interests. They are always criticizing the white and colored people of the South, but they say little and do less when dynamite and bombs are exploding in the third ward or colored men and women are being mobbed and killed on the West Side of Chicago. Do not vote for any delegate unless he can be trusted and depended upon to be absolutely fair and square on all questions which affect our race. Fourth, if one of the delegates from your district will be colored and the other white, we should select a colored man who will have the confidence and co-operation of his white colleague. There are some things a white delegate can do better than a colored delegate can; there are times, places and circumstances where a white delegate is more valuable to us than a colored delegate. There will be at least 100 white delegates and perhaps not more than one or two colored delegates. Our colored delegate should have the confidence, the respect and the co-operation of his white colleague or colleagues at all times, all places and under all circumstances. In conclusion, let me emphasize this fact. We have many able ministers in Chicago, many successful business men and many prominent politicians, but we must remember that the constitutional convention will deal chiefly with legal questions, questions of constitutional law. In view of this fact we should lay aside all personal feelings and consideration and select the ablest colored lawyer we can find. EUGENE I. MARSHALL The Week's Best Editorial THE NEGRO AND BOLSHEVISM the best preventive measure that could be taken? The answer is so easy that no one really needs to tell. (Springfield Republican.) u. w. sctn st. it was either on the same day, or the day after, that the latest Mississippi lynching of a Negro took place that a project for converting the Negro race in America to socialism was discovered by the Lusk investigating committee in New York. The two events ought to be considered together. lynchings and burnings of Negroes! Prove that the law was made for them as well as for other citizens; that the government will protect the black in the most elementary rights as well as the white. In the Mississippi case last week the governor of the state did nothing to safeguard the culprit against the mob. He was "utterly powerless," he said. He even justified his inaction on the ground that in the process of vindicating law and authority hundreds of persons might have been killed. That is to say, so far as the Negro's rights were concerned all government collapsed and the law became a mockery. In the raid on the Rand school a paper was seized which outlined a plan for organizing Negroes into socialist groups. Its author was a socialist Negro of some experience as an agitator, who pointed out that the Negro has "race consciousness;" he has no class consciousness. The thing to do was to "transmute" the one into the other. Listen—the Negro will never be kept immune from the appeals of revolutionary agitators by lynching and burning him. If there is the least danger of the Negro race being influenced by revolutionary propaganda against the existing institutions of the country, what is Some people have a notion that digestion consists simply in the passage of food through the alimentary canal. Nothing is further from the truth. Digestion is the process of preparing food for absorption into the system. The food that is prepared for digestion passes through the walls of the stomach and intestines by means of the capillary mouths in these walls (mouth holes), and is thus taken into the system to be transformed into blood, bone tissues and nerve. How important, then, are the teeth. Food bolted into the stomach in large masses cannot be digested. The stomach becomes overtaxed trying to digest it, for the system is starving for food and the stomach tries to feed it from these masses either greedily gulped down or swallowed because the fellow could not chew.

Your editorial was not only instructive but it was timely. Such leaders as Simmons, whom I have heard address an audience in the south and refer to the colored people before the whites as "These are my 'niggers' and they will follow me." He doesn't want to fool himself. You are wise, and so are some of us. Load your gun, brave editor, and fire another shrapnel upon self-appointed leaders of our race whose god is gold and who would sell us for a mess of pottage. Simmons is for Simmons and not us.

Every particle of food taken into the stomach should be well chewed. Even the milk and soup should be swallowed slowly so as to become mixed with the saliva which contains digestive principles. There are people whose teeth are all incrusted with (a deposit around the necks of the teeth) under the edges of which ancient fragments of meat, and between the teeth are the decayed debris of the meals of many a yesterday. Their breaths are foul and their stomachs are going back on them. Just think of this—how would you like to eat your meals out of one plate for a year without ever cleaning it once, as in some cases their mouths haven't been cleaned since they were born. Some of these people never use a tooth brush. Even if they do chew their food well, there is not any wonder their digestion is bad. Think of the countless germs that nest in these particles of decayed food; in these mouths they swallow them by the million when they eat. Is there any wonder that they have to turn their heads when they talk? All the deodorants they can chew would not obscure the odor of putrefied garbage on their breath. Our mouths, which ought to be the cleanest spot about us of all places, yet in some cases the dirtiest, a veritable death trap, and the little rascals that one cannot see without a microscope are continually digging for our graves. Osler, one of the world's greatest medical authorities, said that caries, the disease that rots the teeth, causes more deterioration than alcohol also. Not until recently has it come to be realized that many of the most serious diseases that inflict human beings are, at least a large percentage of cases, attributed to decayed teeth or something wrong with the mouth; among them are rheumatism, chronic indigestion, heart disease, kidney trouble and hardening of the arteries. Let me advise every reader of this paper who needs this advice to see a dentist at once. Make a sacrifice and have your mouths put in a thoroughly healthy condition at any reasonable cost. You would make the sacrifice for other things. Nothing is of more importance to yourself than a healthy mouth. It is the very gateway to life, for through it first passes that food which must sustain life. Then, after you have had your mouth put in a sanitary condition, keep it that way. Consult a reliable and ethical dentist regularly every six months. Have him guard your teeth against decay by keeping them clean and advising you how to keep them clean. Do not seek one of those advertising dental parlors which has no regard for the health of the patient, as they put crowns upon improperly treated teeth, which cause abscesses, ear and eye trouble, and many other unhealthful conditions. The pain you are so afraid of comes mostly from your own neglect. You stand the toothache for a week at home, but kick on one minute's pain in the dental chair. When your dress or suit wears out you get a new one; don't expect the job to last forever. The doctor cannot guarantee you good health forever. No more can the dentist guarantee that your teeth will not decay unless you make it a response to shim early, and regularly, so that he can warrant their early attack of destructive germs. Therefore, without good teeth there cannot be thorough mastication; without thorough mastication there cannot be perfect digestion; without perfect digestion here cannot be proper assimilation; without proper assimilation there cannot be nutrition; without nutrition there cannot be health and without health, what is life? $1.00 Opens A Savings Account 3 per cent Interest Mail Your Check or Money Today Editor's Mail Wife, Son, Mother and Father.
