No.4 Columbus, O., July 5—Under date of July 1, Ralph W. Tyler, who served as war correspondent in France with the colored troops, sent Dr. DuBois the following caustic letter: Dr.W. E. B. DuBois, Editor, the Crisis, New York City. Sir: It is customary, with reputable, well-meaning publications, when they carry a bald face misstatement, to give a correction of it the same prominence, in a succeeding issue given to the misstatement. I am not anticipating that you will conform to the rules governing broad-minded editors. Recent statements made by you in the Crisis with suggests the contrary. In the July number of the Crisis, according to advance sheets I have seen, in your answer to Dr. Emmett Scott's reply to your criticism of him you drag me into the controversy by stating, referring to my service in France as war correspondent: "He had no special facilities, and he sent nothing. But that was not all. Despite the fact Mr. Tyler had the same opportunities as the editor of the Crisis to learn the truth, he has since his return published practically nothing and revealed no essential fact. Why?" On your return from France, where you went after the war was over, you published, in the May number of the Crisis, a story about Monsieur Blaise Diagne, deputy commissionair general of France, in charge of colonial effects, and his connection with a certain order issued suggesting discrimination against American colored soldiers. You considered this, doubtless, an "essential fact," or you would not have published it. I secured this information in November, more than a month before you arrived in France; sent it immediately, and without it being censored, to colored newspapers in the United States, and they published it before my return from France, and five months before your return. The letter of Col. Allen T. Greer, chief of staff for the 92nd Division, which you considered sufficiently "essential" to publish in the May number of the Crisis, I secured two days after it, the letter, had been written, and it was on its way to the United States—sent Carey to Be Elected Bishop It is reported that Rev. Dr. Charles Stewart of the Baptist Denomination, newspaper reporter and an extensive traveler, that if the A. M. E. General Conference was held in 60 days, that W. D. Johnson of Georgia, A. J. Carey of Chicago and Sampson W. Brooks of Baltimore, Md., would be elected Bishops on the first ballot. I wonder what the other 25 men of the church think of this statement. The Whip will tell you more definitely in a few days just what it thinks of this expression, that we have no reason to question now. A meeting of large proportions is held in St. Paul, First Methodist Church, Milwaukee, Wis., by Dr. J. O. Morley, Paster, Sunday, July 13th, 1919, for the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute. The Chicago Whip A PAPER WITH A POLICY by me, before you arrived in France. To be brief, all the "essential" facts you exploited in the May number of the Crisis as news I had secured and sent to the United States for use by the colored weeklies before your arrival in France—five months before you published them in the Crisis. You state, in the July number of the Crisis, according to the same advance sheet I have seen, and which, under your editorial management, apparently, is degenerating into a medium through which to give vent to your personal spleen and dissatisfaction with everyone, save yourself, that while in France I "sent nothing," that since my return I have "published practically nothing." These statements of yours almost led me to conclude that you do not, as reported, read our splendid colored weeklies, many of which carried my criticism of the injustice heaped upon colored officers and soldiers while in France, and many of which carried matter I sent to the States before, and after the signing of the armistice. You doubtless did not see my eight-page story in the Cleveland Advocate of the part our soldiers played in the world war—my story of their valor, endurance and the brutal treatment they received. Since my return I have spoken in many cities throughout the country, and at each place I told a plain, unvarnished story of the injustices, discriminations, and brutal treatment our boys had to endure in France at the hands of some American Army officers. I never minced my words. While in France I not only sent much matter back, and that, too, without censorship, but I personally interceded with army officers to give our colored soldiers, among whom were three sons of mine, a fifty-fifty break—give them justice. I went to France for service to my people, so refused to ask for a salary. I never, in order to secure appointment, wrote for publication, prior to my going, any editorial or article advising my people to "bury our differences," as you did as a prelude to a commission as captain in the Bureau of Military Intelligence at Washington, which you coveted. I never attempted disservice by striving to secure a commissioned officer's salary of $2,400 a year while endeavoring, and desiring to hold on to a salary of $4,000 per annum as editor of a race publication assumed to stand for justice for the race under any and all circumstances, and which you might have succeeded in doing, but for the activity and protest of that patriot—Archibald H. Grimke, winner of the Spingarn medal. It is possible, from your lofty perch, you can see nothing "essential" in the matter I secured, sent to the States, and which was published in our colored weeklies before you arrived in France. However, months later—five of them—the same facts were considered sufficiently "essential" for you to publish, in your personal organ, as supposed real, live news. During my stay in France I sent confidential reports, through diplomatic channels. I reported against Gen. Ballou the second day after reaching the 92nd Division; I reported against Col. Greer; against Major Dean, of the 325th (Continued on page 6) Washington, D. C., July 19—Lieut.

Constructive Program Adopted by Colored Women's Club St. Paul, Minn., July 19—Reconstruction activity was discussed at the 14th annual meeting of the Minnesota federation of colored women's clubs held Wednesday and Thursday at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Summit Avenue and Cedar Street. A number of national workers among Negro women were present at the meeting, among them Mrs. J. Snowden Portern, Chicago, president of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Mrs. Eliza Johnson, president of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, Chicago, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Wilberforce, O., vice-president of the National Association on Colored Women. At the Thursday session, Mrs. Susan Evans, Superior, Wis., spoke on club work among Negro women. Mrs. Ida Sellers, Minneapolis, honorary state-president discussed what women's clubs have done in Minnesota during the last year. Other speakers were Mrs. Iona B. Gibbs, Mrs. J. D.

DuPont, president of the DuPont Powder Company, has created a trust fund of $2,000,000 for the remodeling and modernizing of the public schools of Delaware, outside of Wilmington, to be expended the next four years. Four hundred thousand dollars will be applied to the improvement of schools for negro children. 1,000 Agents Wanted to Solicit Subscriptions for THE WHIP See Jesse A. Graves Circulation Manager 3457 State Street Early Saturday morning while Miss Lewis, an actress formerly with Billy King & Co., was enjoying the company of a Mr. Watkins in her apartments, her former sweetheart commonly known as Buster Olliver, decided thru a fit of jealousy to make it uncomfortable for both parties. He loaded a thirty-eight revolver and NOTED AFRICAN ADDRESSES THE ANTILLIA ASS'N Dr. Nkomo Says People of Africa Need Industrial Education Dr. Sambini Nkomo, of Rhodesia, S Africa, and at present a student in philosophy at the University of Chicago delivered by brilliant and eloquent ad dress before the Antilia Protective As sociation on July 9th, at the Wabash Ave. Y. M. C. A. The doctor's subject was "Africa," and he thrilled his audience as he told of the aspirations of the native Africans and his decisive purpose to measure up to the standard of the world in religion, politics, education, commerce and government. He said that the Africans were tired of being regarded as the most backward of all races, and had begun to dispense with this hideous appellation by eliminating the inter-tribal wars which were the greatest obstacle to their progress. He declared that the greatest need of the Africans at the present time is industrial education in order that they might themselves develop the wonderful resources of their country, the potential wealth of which had been the cause of much bloodshed among the white race in which the natives have not emerged unscathed. Decrying the widespread rumor that the wealth of Africa has been completely divided among various white races, he characterized this as untrue and said that the natural and mineral deposits had hardly been touched, but were being righteously guarded and nourished until such time as black men are familiar with banking, railroading and mining. He therefore appealed to the black men of the United States and the West Indies to familiarize themselves with these things and go to Africa and give the natives tangible assistance in the development of a country which belonged as much to the American and West Indian Negro as it does to the native African. Doctors, Lawyers and Teachers Needed. Dr. Nkomo says that doctors, lawyers and teachers are needed particularly. They also need missionaries, but only the kind that have the welfare of the native at heart. At the present the white missionaries sent have lost their hold upon the African because instead of displaying a true Christian spirit, many of them have sought to exploit the natives and have further sought to foment strife between them and the European governments. Africa Not Looking Forward to be White Dr. Nkomo scourged the negro who refuses to rec_ ze that his sympathies should be with Africa and who would be white if he could be. He said Africa was not looking forward to the time when it would be white, but to the time when it would be controlled by black men. The time for this is not far distant, but before it can be done, we must all awake to the realization of racial sacrifice. We must be able to die to defend the honor of our mothers it is alleged peeped through the window of the dat; saw from the apparent bliss that penetrated the souls of Miss Lewis and Mr. Watkins, his chances were gone. He immediately opened fire, shooting Miss Lewis twice, once in each arm, and with the eye of a Yankee sharpshooter, he changed the direction of his volley upon Watkins, practically tearing out his eye. Both Miss Lewis and Watkins are in Provident Hospital where the doctors are preparing them for operations. Oliver was apprehended by police officers and is now in jail awaiting the outcome of his victims.

We learn that the boys of the popular Forty Club are preparing to hold their Annual Summer dance at Ogden Park Casino, on August 2nd, and that it promises to be an affair of no small importance. Turns A $100,000 Deal F. Wm, Harsh, Jr., young real estate broker of 309 E. 39th St., this city a few weeks ago made an extensive trip through the Northwest. He was successful in selling to one of the rich farmers in Minnesota two large south side flat buildings at a cost of $100,000. This is the largest real estate deal of the month. The real estate barons are not surprised at the accomplishment of this aggressive young man, because he has long passed the proud distinction of having a thorough knowledge of the business, and in addition one of the best salesmen in this locality. and sisters, we must be able to die to protect each other, and when this is done we shall be able to recognize how easy it is to die that a race may control what rightfully belongs to it and so perpetuate itself. It is Dr. Nkomo's intention, at the completion of his course to return to S. Africa and establish an industrial school for his people and in this venture he hopes to secure the undivided support of every West Indian and American Negro. Troop Patrol Streets Following Trouble Longview, Texas, July 13—One of the most serious race riots in the last half century broke out here today. Three colored and five whites were killed and several wounded, including a deputy sheriff. The feeling between the races has not been the most friendly since the fight between members of the 10th U. S. Cavalry and Texas citizens on the Fourth of July. Thus it did not take very much of a jar to knock the chip from the shoulders of the Texas rangers. Prof. C. P.

Brown to report to Camp Funston, Kansas, May 20, and was ordered overseas, June 14, 1918, with the 317 Sanitary Train of the 92nd Division. He arrived at Brest, France, June 22, 1918, and immediately went into training. Also had charge of the dental work in the 366th Field Hospital, in which hospital remained until the armistice was signed, and served on three fronts. At the signing of the armistice, he was detached from the 92nd Division and ordered to duty with the Service Battalions of the Quartermaster Department and served with that department until ordered back to America. Received a promotion to a captaincy Feb. 17, 1919. "I enjoyed my year of service very much and acquired quite a deal of French during my stay in France, and had the opportunity of crossing France three times, also visited Nice, Monte Carlo, Marseilles, Lyons, Monaco, Dijon; and Paris several times, where I had the extreme pleasure of visiting many interesting historical points of interest including the old palace of Louis XIV at Versailles, where the Peace Confer- If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It XAS atrol Streets ng Trouble it is alleged after the lynching of a colored man for intimacy with a white woman wrote to a Chicago newspaper telling of the fiendishness of the blood-thirsty mob, the utter disregard of the law by the whites in this section, was hunted down and shot to death.

When asked what he thought of the French Republic, Dr. Brown said: "I am truly in love with the French, who accorded us the most hearty welcome and generous hospitality, such as I never dreamed of. France is truly the cradle of Democracy and Liberty for all mankind. I have nothing but the highest respect and affection for them. Shall I return to La Belle France? I have this to answer: I hope some day in the very near future to become a citizen of France." Dr. Brown was once enlisted in the Navy, but soon found out that there was no opportunity for promotions. He then entered Fisk University receiving a Bachelor's Degree the following year, and entered the University of Illinois where he graduated with honors. Big Parade by Stockyards Workers Features Big Drive for Members By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer. More than two weeks ago members of the Executive Board of the Stockyard's Labor Council and the Organization Committee planned to have a monster parade and organization demonstration on the South Side for the purpose of showing the numerical strength of the organization which was to terminate in to a great mass meeting for the benefit of the workers who have not as yet joined the union. Someone with more authority and influence than common sense, apparently got in a hard knock by painting a horrible picture of some terrible unseen evil that would be the direct cause of a race riot in case the parade was staged as it had been planned, and most naturally some fell for this capitalistic bunco game, and the result was that a police messenger on a motorcycle made two flying trips to the Stockyard's Labor Council headquarters late Saturday afternoon, summoning all the speakers on the program to the Chief of Police's office post haste. President John Fitzpatrick of the Chicago Federation of Labor, President Martin P. Murphy of the Stockyard's Labor Council, Secretary J. W. Johnstone and Organizer John Kikulski held a conference with the heads of the police department and were compelled to change the plans to conform with the wishes of those who claimed that they desired to avoid disaster or probably the permit would have been revoked; and yet the history of the labor movement has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that when people get together and understand each other, there is no chance for misunderstanding that will cause what these people claim they expected to be the result of this parade on the South Side. Those who are in power will eventually, through some legal procedure or technicality, deny the working men and women the right to even breathe in their presence if such were possible. We would not be surprised if some idle parasite attempted to have the natural laws governing the universe changed to conform with his idea of what a working man or woman should have and probably some fanatic will come forward with a formula or some advanced scientific thought for the benefit of these people that would like to see all workers born minus a brain with a strong physique and nothing else to conform with what is generally considered Intelligence in the average worker. The only thing he needs is a strong back and a weak mind. Some would give him the strong back and deny him the right to have a mind altogether and compel him to produce everything and demand nothing. At the Stockyard's Labor Council as early as 10 o'clock Sunday, the workers were crowded in the halls and offices and at the same time crowding Paulina Street from 47th to 48th to the very limit. Each one seemed to realize the importance of this parade and what the benefit would mean to the organization, especially conducted on the South Side. The old line of march as planned by the parade committee was for the South West side locals to assemble at 48th and Paulina Streets and march North up 47th, then East on 47th to State Street, North on State to 43rd and there join the South Side Locals and continue North on State to 26th, East on 26th to Wabash, South on Wabash to 33rd and West on 33rd to Wentworth to the playground where the meeting was to be held. This of course appeared allright to us, but the line of march as revised by "SOMEONE ELSE" and the Chief of Police, was for the workers that assembled at 48th and Paulina Streets to march East on 47th to Halsted and then North on Halsted to 33rd and East to Wentworth. "NOW, DO YOU SEE THE POINT!" "GET THIS!" Those who assembled on 43rd Street and State, were given permission to march North on State to 26th, East on 26th to Wabash, South on Wabash to 33rd and West on 33rd to Wentworth, attempting to show a division in our ranks. The hypocrites who originated the whole scheme are the ones that are more interested in their profits which are made possible by the men and women who labor and never receive their just reward. These same people sought to stop the parade and used some of the worst methods known by waiting until the eleventh hour thinking we would not have time to comply with the most unreasonable demands, and if we did get a crowd to gether the information given out by the committee would be so misleading that the parade would be a farce, but in spite of all this, we made a creditable showing and the result obtained by such BLACK'S BLUE BOOK demonstration will go down in history as one of the most effective demonstrations of organized labor ever held o the South Side. Who else but a hypocrite would attempt to prevent people that compose our different communities coming together and discussing things that effect them directly? All such people form the bulk of the minority and are interested alone in personal welfare. The South Side division of the parade led by the 16-piece band, under the direction of Hugh Swift, Vice-President of Musicians' Protective Local 208, led the parade into the play ground at 33rd St. and Wentworth Ave. This great mass of humanity from back of the yards cheered continually while, these workers marched in and formed a veritable wall of humanity and welcomed the division from the South Side Locals. This great meeting was composed of formerly oppressed stockyards workers who had so obediently observed the mandates of the packing house barons for the past 14 years. At the play ground everybody seemed to be interested in what was being said for their benefit by the different speakers, showing that the true spirit of unity prevailed. All the bands played "The Star Spangled Banner" and heads were bared which showed undivided sentiment in the 100 per cent Americans that assembled there. One of the speakers spoke in a foreign tongue, seeking to maintain unity and preserve our institutions by endeavoring to protect our economic interest. Secretary J. W. Johnstone of the Stockyard's Labo Council and chairman of the meeting, opened the meeting by announcing its purpose and the object for which the demonstration was being carried on. In his brief remarks he summarized the stockyards situation, laying stress on the duty of those employed there, after which he introduced Mrs. Margaret Bondfield, representative of the British Trales Union league. She ascended the platform, a slide used by the children such as is common to all public play grounds. "She expressed her pride and gratitude for this opportunity and explained that she must be brief in order to be able to attend other meetings, and was proud of the opportunity to address the workers of the stockyards. In speaking of the industrial situation in England, she showed that the progress and development had been made possible from the fact that they all understand and speak the same language, and that the capitalistic class could not ELESS ROCKS as ATOMS! divide them as had been the case in America, which is so cosmopolitan in its make-up, consequently, there are various difficulties that we are compelled to encounter due to the lack of understanding that is not the case with the Trades Unions in Great Britain. In her brief remarks, she pointed out the various duties and obligations of each worker in order that we may secure a reasonable degree of comfort and happiness. She urged the packing house workers to continue to develop their organization and not until they have thoroughly organized the industry could they hope for all that is so necessary for the happiness and comfort of those employed. When Mrs. Bondfield concluded her remarks, she was greeted with cheers. The next speaker, T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary of the Urban League, in his opening remarks mentioned the fact that a friend of his had cautioned him to be neutral, but that he did not feel that he could do justice to the situation and the organization that he represented by attempting anything that could be considered neutrality, but that he was going to deal with facts and be pointed in what he had to say. He outlined the purpose for which the Urban League was established and why they had just cause to understand the benefits that are to be derived through organization. He charged those present with their responsibility inasmuch as it was necessary for them to give the colored men a square deal after admitting them into the organization. He mentioned the fact that people had come to him with stories, some of them possibly false, regarding different situations that confronted them in industry. Some employers use excuses that they are unable to furnish employment to colored men who might apply for work and in commenting on this situation, he related an incident that came to his attention just recently when a number of colored men were sent by his office to a plant for employment and upon applying for the job were told that it would be GET IN LINE THE FAVORABLE EFFECT OF A RUMOR, AS SHOWN IN THE ATTITUDE OF COLORED STEAM FITTERS EMPLOYED IN THE PACKING INDUSTRY By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer Forty-five or fifty colored steam fitters employed in the different packing houses swarmed to the headquarters of Local 563 at 5445 S. Ashland Ave, prepared to join the Union Thursday night, July 10th, after the rumor had been spread that there would be an open meeting held for the purpose of accepting their application. These men were on hand early, ready to cast their lot with the organization, but owing to urgent business that had to be taken up at this meeting, action on their case was delayed until Monday night, July 14th. STOCKYARDS NEWS AT RANDOM- Monday morning, the 7th, following the parade and demonstration, many of the packing house workers en route to work seemed willing to listen to the appeals being made to them by the committee at work on the elevated trains. Some actually sought information regarding how and where they could join the union. All such cases were immediately taken care of. Tuesday morning, July 8th, the elevated train committee came in contact with a small town comedian who imagined he could have a little sport by trying to kid some of the workers. He remarked that they had better get a job as they all appeared to be hungry, but was told by Bro. Andrew Holmes that if he were not hungry he must have a strong stomach to relish food of any kind and still keep the job that he has in the Stockyards, as he had met him on one or two occasions and if he had brains enough he would join the union and through its aid, attempt to have the dirty job he was holding abolished. To this the comedian made no reply. Wednesday, July 9th, the Wilson Company case was again brought before by the packers' attorneys. The latter, after trying to show how unjust the workers were in trying to prevent trouble, attempted to ask questions and answer them for the witnesses in the case, which is impossible. Guess everybody understood. John Kikulski, Martin P. Murphy, Andrew Holmes, Robert Bedford and others stood guard and endeavored to protect the interest of the men. America to socialism we are one of the Com- the Lusk witnesses, and showed that owing to the intense feeling that the walk- out on the part of the union men was commendable under the circumstances and did possibly prevent violence. Who said Andrew Holmes was a lawyer? Andrew almost fainted when he heard this and cried, "God forbid, I am not guilty, as I try to be fair." Thursday, July 10th, many protests against low wages and bad working conditions have come to the surface in the last week and it yet remains the responsibility of the workers to secure redress for unfair treatment through their organization. Who is the greatest agitator in the world today? Answer—Justice. The employees of Armour and Company's glue works are beginning to see a new light, since they have decided to look through the right end of the telescope furnished by the union. Friday, July 11th, someone said that a fool is born every day, but from some of the arguments we are compelled to face by men who are trying to oppose the union, one thinks that at some time they must have produced one every second. Since we have the heavy side of the plank, let's keep on applying weight on our side and when the job is complete and we have reached our goal we can shout "100 per cent organization did the job." Saturday, July 12th, 6 a. m., found the committee on hand on the elevated station talking to the workers at transfer points and in spite of the bustle and hurry, many found time to listen to what was being said and promised to be on hand at the big mass meeting, Sunday, the 13th. About seven o'clock someone said that our great champion, Frank P. Walsh, would arrive at 9:45 a. m., accompanied by ex Gov. Dunne, of Illinois, and Pres. De Valera, of the Irish Republic. All the workers agreed to go and meet them. The packing house workers have a special right to rejoice at the return of one who has done so much for them.

There is plenty of evidence of real work in the yards judging from some of the Secretary's reports. The Federal Trade Board claims that the big packers will soon control everything in the world that is used as food as well as many other things that people can't eat, unless something is done to stop them.

There has been a long-felt need of just such a company as this one among the Race for a number of years; but it has been impossible to finance so large an undertaking. There has never been an Old Line Company conducted by Negroes before for various reasons. The first and most important, the large amount of capital which is required by the state. Second, the impossibility of getting the colored men with money, influence, and brain together on such a gigantic undertaking. But the oppression that is encumbent upon colored people in every clime under the canopy of heaven has awakened these men to the necessity of co-operation. It came as a surprise to the most optimistic youngsters who dream dreams of race solidarity to see Oscar De Priest, R. R. Jackson, J. L. Slaughter, W. R. Cowan, David Manson, Geo. Holt, Chass, Jackson, Henry Cole, M. O. Bousfield, Anthony Overton, V. L. Williams, F. L. Gillespie throw aside all political differences, eradicate all social barriers and band themselves together to put the Race on the map of the commercial world. The writer's enthusiasm over the birth of this proposition renders him unable to give the facts. However, stock will be on the market in a few days and literature will be put into the hands of everyone, even the most insignificant child that paddles papers on the street or who leads the blind men's band. The names of these men in connection with any proposition can spell but one word—"Success." The Vinculum Cooperative Society has secured a state charter and is prepared to accept payment on shares at the temporary office and headquarters. 4300 S. State St., Chicago, Ill.

Broad Axe Prophesies The Chicago Broad Axe comes out with more than a two column story in favor of Dr. A. J. Carey being elevated to the bench. I guess the Broad Axe knows what it is talking about, for it has looked into the life and labors of this eminent Divine more than all the other newspapers of Chicago or the country put together, and if Dr. Carey wants the Bishoprie of the A.

Write in and tell us how close you observe these things. Tell about any picture you see them in. Lester A. Walton has been appointed general manager of the new circuit of theatres where all involved are members of the Race. This is the first and most important step in the history of the stage wherein all interested were colored. The first move of significance to establish a chain of theatres in all the principal cities of the United States was made when E. C. Brown, a race banker of Philadelphia and Norfolk, headed a syndicate which took over the lease of the Lafayette Theater, in New York City, and also assumed all outstanding contracts which the Quality Amusement Corporation had made the Lafayette Players. Already, in Philadelphia, they are constructing a 1,600 seat house, to be known as the Dunbar. The Avenue Theater here in Chicago; Howard, Washington; Colonial in Baltimore and theaters in Pittsburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville will be included in the circuit. The plan of the promoters is to organize and manage dramatic and musical companies for these houses exclusive of the four companies of La Fayette Players now working. The near future will see the opening of a school of dramatic art in New York City for young men and women of our race. A booking office is also planned. Beside performing the managerial duties of this circuit, Lester A. Walton will also serve as manager of the La Fayette Theater. August 14. take full charge. Pace and Handy Music Co Maisy A. Niles is now demonstrating for the Pace and Handy Music Co., Inc. They were fortunate in securing the services of Miss Niles. Frederick M. Bryan the writer of the "Allies Triumphal March" and the "Dancing Deacon" is pianist in the professional of Pace and Handy. Mr. Niles is also a member of the Memphis Blues Band. This is recognized by stagefolk of both races, simply because they deliver the goods. That were you to change from your righteousness, And to the base degree of havoc went; I would pray that I might become So wholly enveloped in sin. J. L. Criner. Alberta Hunter, the entertainer who made the song "Corinne" popular up and down "The Stroll," is once more pleasing the patrons of the beautiful Dreamland No. 1, on State Street. Mr. Bottoms has enlarged his kitchen and is now catering to clubs, societies and special parties arranging banquets and after theater suppers. He claims he is in a position to serve both American and Chinese dishes. The meals at this cafe are rated by epicures to be as good as any served anywhere in this or any other country. Joe Oliver, formerly cornetist for the Royal Gardens Band, is now at the Dreamland. GOOD-BYE John Alcohol, my Joe John, When we were first acquaint You know I had some money, John, But now you know I hain't, I spent it all in treating you Because I loved you so. But mark how you have treated me, John Alcohol, my Joe. John Alcohol, my Joe John, We have been too long together, So you must now take one road, John, And I will take the other. —Anonymous. Movie Notes Alice Joyce is leaving the films for a fling in vaudeville. She will star in the vaudeville playlet "The Heart Thief." THE GRAND The Grand will be closed two weeks for remodeling. "Skinny" Hall, the scenic artist will have full charge of the interior decorations. The management states that when they resume business this place will be one of the most artistically decorated playhouses on the South Side. They intend to make this one of the show places of the belt. They will reopen with high class vaudeville and pictures. Let us hope that they will live up to expectations. The Panama Trio are splitting the week between Regina and Saskatoon. Page and Green are at the Plaza, Worcester, Mass. Lulu Coates and Company are at the Globe, Philadelphia, Pa. Tabor and Green are stopping the show at the De Kalb in Brooklyn. CHARLIE FATHER FOR SEVENTY HOURS Charles Chaplin, famous movie comedian, was the possessor of the proud fact that he was the father of a baby boy, but in exactly seventy hours all his hopes for the child's future had fallen. The child lived nearly three days then passed into the great beyond. When Jess Willard was defeated by the valiant Jack Dempsey, cinematic art received a terrific blow in so far as the vanquished champion's aspirations for histrionic honors. Mr. Willard's starring vehicle "The Challenge of Chance" is failing to arouse the anticipated interest among the film "fans." Hence the exhibitors are not keen to book it. The admirers of Pearl White and her daring movie exploits will soon behold her starring in a new play, "The Tiger's Cub," by Paul Potter. This vehicle affords the star ample opportunity to display the daring which earned her tremendous popularity as a serial queen. It is given out by those who know, that Mrs. Charles Chaplin will return to the screen this fall despite the statement of Mr. Chaplin at the time of the marriage, that his wife would retire permanently. The Democracy Film Company, whose actors are all members of the Race, are doing well. Dramas of particular importance to the Race are being made along with a brand of funny films which are termed "Chocolate Comedies." More power to them. "Shore Acres" that old stage favorite which James Herne played for so many years will soon be seen on the screen. Viola Dana will be the featured star. Louis B. Mayer paid $30,000 cash for the film rights of "The Yellow Typhoon," which ran serially in the Saturday Evening Post. Anita Stewart will star in this coming play. Dreamland Jazz Band Plays to Crowded House That John Barleycorn is dead at least for a short period there is no room for possible doubt. But the patrons of Dreamland seem to have forgotten the lamented hero, for nightly they are merrily dancing to the strains of Bottom's famous jolly jazzing jeapards. Mr. Olliver, the best jazz cornet player in America has just been retained by Mr. Bottoms, whose slogan it is to give the public the very best entertainment that money can afford and artists can produce. If you want to have fun, if you want to dance by a good orchestra, if you want a cool place to go to. Don't fail to visit Dreamland. 50,000 Race Men and Women wanted to join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. T. A.

DUNCAN, Proprietor 206 East 35th Street CHICAGO 1920 ANDREW BISHIP Popular Matinee Idol The patrons of this playhouse who relish good old style melodramas cannot help but be pleased with this week's offering by the popular Lafayette Players. The play is filled with heart throbs from beginning to end. The deep scheming of a man with a heart of stone is brought to a well merited end. The play has been seen so often that it will not be necessary to delve into details concerning the plot. Andrew S. Bishop, in the stellar role, as Tom Logan, handled this part in a way that only Bishop can handle a part. Though being sent to prison for another's crime, through belated evidence, and his mother's pleading, he is pardoned by a big hearted governor. Arthur Simmons who plays the tramp, the saviour of Logan is perfection in this part. H. L. Pryor, as Frederick Armsdall, the villain with a black heart, handles this part well. Charles Olden, portraying the part of Mose Jones, carries this part in Charles Olden's own way. He keeps the audience in continuous lagher, while he is on the stage. Evelyn Ellisas "Limpy" Morgan and Little Grave Logan, still keeps up to the standard of acting she displayed while in our midst with former company of Lafayette Players. J. L. Criner, in the parts, Tom Logan, the father, and later as the governor, handles them in a very commendable manner. Criner gets better and better. Arthur T. Ray, as the simple son of Samuel Logan, was par excellent. Cleo Desmond, portraying Ruth Lar-Logan, was very good. Inez Clough, as the hero's mother, displayed rare talent in this part. Carlotta Freeman, acts well in the part of Jeanette Logan, the faithless wife of Tom Logan, and the paramour of Frederick Armsdale. Linolal Monagas, is a prison guard, and Walter Robinson, as the warden, completes the cast. TAKE YOUR MEAL THE 337 East Restaurant and AGE GENERAL AND PUBLIC TASTE EATRES Where They Are Emancipation Day After making a tour of the western circuit, Ledman and McCree have returned to the city and are setting a fast pace for the strollers. They opened this week at the Rialto where they will stay until Sunday. Finishing their engagement at this downtown playhouse, they will take a vacation for a few weeks. The new Chicago act, Austin and Delaney, is stopping the show in Minneapolis. Leaving here they make a long jump to Frisco where they open at the Pantages.

Two Nights WHY? The hero and heroine remove their furs and overcoats, shake the snow off the same, then go out into the court and play tennis. Ever see Wm. S. Hart in one of his desert drama, supposed to be acted in 1851, imprisoned in a modern cement jail? Douglas Fairbanks dressed in white trousers and goes through one or two scraps, rolls in the dirt, and through the whole picture the trousers are hardly soiled; but kept nicely pressed and spotless through the entire picture. SQUIBS Good girls are like pearls—they are hard to find. Life is what you make it; sometime it is what people make it for you. Some men are like Fords; they will never be self starters. Why run after one woman when there are thousands made on the same plan? If some men are dangerous companions, what are some women? The Kaiser proved that the words "might is right" is all wrong.

Some class—and of course Mr. Davy Wyatt will go along. This is everybody's column so, don't be surprised if during the course of time you find yourself mentioned in here. To start with here's a story told me the other day by Mister Moses Flagg. You know Mose has go himself a chicken farm out south where he spends his time gathering in eggs and selling them. Mose says during his younger days he was working at a hotel in Detroit and one of his fellowmen had a Yiddish man for breakfast, being promised by the same a dime if his meal was hurried to him. This waiter by the name of Jim did the hurrying but Hon. Yiddisher failed to keep his promise. Some disagreement with the hee 'er caused Jim to quit and take the boat to Erie where he got another job. Two days later he went to his station one evening only to find this same Yiddishman and Hon. Yiddisher seeing Jim called to the headwaiter in frenzy "Take im avay, Take im avay." The dining room was all excited and the headwaiter rushed to see what the trouble was, while Hon. Yiddisher screamed "Mine Gott, take im avay, take im avay, he foll me all ze vav from Detroit for a dime"—and the folks in the room roared with laughter. There seems to be a great deal of argument as to whether Charleston or Torrentiti is the best fielder of the Giants, also the best hitter. We say Charleston because he displays more real head work and more baseball brains than does the Inter-Allied back—while be content to in his days the distance but old down the curtain when we haven't A.

THREE SCRATCH MEN WIN New York, July 13—Three of the six scratch men in the Alpha Physical Culture Club's members' games, Sunday, at Macombs Dam Park, came through with flying colors. The back mark men to win their events were, Louis Wade, Andy Pendleton and W. Jackson. Watson won both the running high and running broad jumps, while Pendleton triumphed in the 100 yard dash, and Jackson in the mils run.

BIG PARADE BY STOCKYARDS WORKERS (Continued from page 2) necessary for them to get a permit from the Union. This they did and when they returned with the permit ready to work another condition confronted them and this was that they would have to provide themselves with picks and shovels. They did this too, which shows that in many instances where the unions are fair and will deal on the square with colored men, the bosses themselves are directly responsible for some of the discriminations. He quoted President Samuel Gömpers, President of the American Federation of Labor in his recent declaration regarding the status of the colored her and, mentioned how proud he is to see these things materialize in such way that the standards of the colored worker would be equal and on par with that of any other. In conclusion he charged those present that if he and his colleagues were expected to advise the colored workers to join the union, they expected the union men themselves to be fair toward colored workers. John Kikulski, A. F. of L. Organizer was the next speaker and made his address in Polish. Andrew Holmes, Trustee of Local 191, and special organizer for the Stockyard's Labor Council was the next speaker. His talk was interesting and to the point. Secretary Johnstone of the Stockyard's Labor Council in introducing Mr. Holmes, referred to him as one of the many men connected with the Council and other organizations who is trying to interest the workers in the merits of the union and works eight hours before dinner and eight after, which is the common lot of most officers.

Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife of Tom Mooney, was next introduced by Secretary Johnstone, and said that she had been incarcerated for 22 months and that it was an education to go to prison. She spoke of her aquittal also the perjured testimony that they attempted to use against her husband and expressed her confidence in the labor movement of this country as being sufficient to demand that her husband will not be buried alive. C. Ford, Butcher Workmen Organizer, just returned from an extensive trip of organization through the Southwest, was the next speaker. Brother Ford in his usual forceful and energetic manner charged the workers with their responsibility in connection with the development of the organization, and also stated that if the colored workers in Chicago would exemplify the same spirit and interest in organization that they did in the South, in short it would be possible for them to take the labor movement away from the white man and have him applying for admission. J. W. Johnstone, laid great stress on the Jelke Butterine Company's strikers and charged the housewives and others who use this product to refrain from purchasing same, and in so doing support the strikers in such a way that there will be no place in the homes of the workers for the product that is being manufactured by strike-breakers and consequently unfit to use. The Boston store strike was referred to by Mr. Johnstone also. Meeting adjourned at 4:15 and in spite of the opposition the entire program was a marked success. Business Fore THE CHICAGO WHIP A queer break in the sixth cost the Logan Squares their game against the Cuban Stars, 4 to 1, at Logan Square park. After both sides had scored a run in the opening inning Bara of the Cubans started things in the sixth by slashing a hot single to center. Pedrosa walked. Villa's infield out advanced both runners a 'oase. Campos then laid down a slow roller to "Buck" Freeman, who momentarily fumbled the ball but threw to Weiss in time to get the batter, Bara scoring. On the play Pedrosa also dashed for the plate and counted when Weiss threw the ball too late to nip him.

To rave officers for their willingness to serve and protect if a metropolis with unclean beds and Jim Crow be The most audacious crime ever committed against a civilized community, if reports are true, was the Jim Crowing of Patrolmen Bastin Rowell and McCall at the 48th St. Police Station. These men in obedience to orders remained in reserve to check a riot that had been threatened by hoodlums who objected to Colored people breathing the fresh air in the public parks. In the performance of this duty they were risking their own lives, not to save colored people's lives and interests, but to protect the interests of all the people. To reward these brave officers for their willingness to serve and protect the good name of a metropolis, with unclean beds and Jim Crow bed rooms is certainly not sufficient inducement to keep colored living up to their present standard of $100\%$ loyalty to American institutions. The situation is serious. To allow it to go without the cause being eradicated would only be preparing a culture media for future prejudicial germs, which are sure to come to the surface in perhaps a different form, greatly multiplied. And may cause the destruction of the whole city. A policeman who is so warped in mind that goes out of his way to gain notoriety through airing his prejudice, whether he is white or black, is not worthy of having the confidence of a community. A police captain who refuses to use his official power to discourage discrimination of any sort is in the same category with Bilbo of Mississippi, who refused to use his official authority to stop the onslaught of a bloodthirsty mob. Such men are unfit for public service. I trust that the Colored officers will not be duped into a compromise through the influence of purblind politicians. This is a day of reconstruction; let the better thinking men of both races get together at once, not to smooth things over and leave it to the future generations to settle, but kill the cause, if the entire 48th St. Station has to be closed altogether. Health Hints By Julian H. Lewis, M. D., Ph. D. peculiarity of the victim or it is due to something in the food. There are certain individuals who are extremely sensitive to some sort of food, and their sensitiveness is expressed in that when they eat the offending food, they become violently ill, with pain and depression. Very often they will break out with some sort of eruption, which is referred to as the hives. The most common foods to which people are sensitive are milk, strawberries, oysters, and eggs, altho it may be any food. The victim usually learns his idioycyneracy and to religiously avoid the offending article. They may be coloring substances, food preservatives, arsenic and lead, poisons from decomposition of the food, poisonous plants used in cooking, ete. The most characteristic examples of food poisoning, popularly speaking, are those in which the symptoms appear shortly after eating and in which severe gastrointestinal pains occur. These are most often caused by bacterial decomposition of food. This type of food poisoning is important because of the case with which it can be prevented. The method consists of keeping the food under conditions which prevent bacterial growth. This is accomplished by thorough cooking and followed by complete refrigeration when the food is not in use. FOOD POISONING. During the hot summer months more than any other time, there is a rather frequent occurrence of the condition known as food poisoning, or what is more commonly and inaccurately called, ptomain poisoning. Because of the distress, the apprehension and dire results which sometimes follow, it may not be out of place to write a few words concerning this condition. How frequently food poisoning occurs is not definitely known. Everybody is aware that certain articles of food are now and again held responsible for more or less severe "attacks of indigestion," or other physiological disturbances, that have followed their consumption, but in many cases the evidence for assuming a casual connection is of the slightest. That convenient refuge from etiological uncertainty, "ptomain poisoning," is a diagnosis that unquestionably has been made to cover a great variety of diverse conditions, from appendicitis and the pain caused by gall stones to the simple abdominal distensions, resulting from reckless goring. However, there are times when it is possible to specify with a fair degree of certainty the offending food. It then only remains to determine the reason why the food article should make one sick. The horror which housewives possess for keeping food in tin cans after they are opened is not justified scientifically or by experience. The changes that may take place has nothing to do with the tin can and will take place in any vessel unless prevented, as they are due to bacterial growth. The possibilities are divided into two broad classes: first, that it is due to a The Week's Best Editorial Asleep at the Switch quality of Illinois citizenship deteriorating?

Is the quality of Illinois citizenship deteriorating? Are we slipping in our conception of duty toward the state and through the state to each other and ourselves? Judging from the public interest manifested in the forthcoming constitutional convention, we are. It is a fundamental principle of law that a man who sleeps on his rights loses them. Just at this time the people of Illinois, and especially the people of Chicago, are suffering from a deplorable case of sleeping sickness. Already the machinery is in motion for choosing delegates to the constitutional convention that will meet five months hence. One hundred and two men will assemble at Springfield on Jan. 10 and proceed to redraft and remodel the SAFEGUARDS which our forefathers provided for us and under which we have thrived for generations. Who shall those men be who will meddle with the guarantees we now enjoy and which restrict and guide our legislatures in the nature of the laws they may fasten upon us? A glance at the list of candidates so far presented, largely by political organizations, and the fact that in many districts no nominations at all have been made, seem to indicate that nobody cares much who will enter our political holy of holies and rearrange it according to their own ideas of what we ought to have. Our forefathers were not so careless, so apathetic. They had their eyes open. They knew the dangers of intrusting a task so vitally important as constitution-making to any but the wisest and most trustworthy men—men of attainment, of experience and of distinction among their fellows. In banquet speeches, on the stump and in editorials we like to sing the glories of Illinois, to tell of the greatness of her people and the strength of her resources. In reality, however, we do not seem to possess the spirit, the commonwealth consciousness, that flourished in Illinois half a century ago. Look over the list of convention aspirants. Where are the giants? Where are the mighty citizens of the type that wrote the splendid document which we now have outgrown and are about to alter to suit modern conditions? We have able men, but they either refuse to come out or the politicians have not brought them out with assurances of organized support. There were eighty-five men in the convention of 1870. And thirteen per cent of them were men who had attained distinction as judges. They were but examples of the caliber of the delegates. A member of Lincoln's cabinet, who also had served as a United States senator, was not too busy to give his time to the job. Neither were three former members of the state supreme court, one of whom had declined appointment as CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. In 1870 Cook County did herself proud. Entitled to seven members, she elected a delegation that wielded mighty power in a convention which went into history as "the most notable body that ever assembled in the state." A Chicago delegate, Charles Hitchcock, was made president of the convention, after another Chicago man, Joseph Medill, had declined the gavel. Where are the big fellows of the present day? Are the armchairs too soft? Is "politics" too repulsive, too unrefined? Is private business too pressing? Or do they prefer to lie back and wait until the damage has been done, until all these years of agitation for an up-to-date constitution bring forth an unacceptable draft, and then howl their heads off at indignation meetings? —Herald-Examiner we consider the happenings of the day—the current force the Nation's treatment of the Race's war heroes now their native land; when we recall the promptness with race spurned German intrigue; and with what alacrity to the Nation's defense; reflect upon their valor and victory displayed upon battle fields littered with the bones and saturated with the blood of the proudest Nations; when we understand that the American Negro whom has despised has achieved in the world's greatest war the action of having fought the most progressive Nation in tabled the pride of German soldier and defeated armies thought to be invincible; when we realize that without leadership the Race instituted the most mammoth protestations under which he had been forced to live and that he never again consent to live under the former conditions; the race riots in which the lives of innocent black men are property is destroyed by bombs, and the black hero is comove the Nation's uniform and refusing to do so is lynched where there is no law to protect him and his, involuntary arises Has the Race's Crisis Come?

In some matters it is intensely sensitive and alert; but, in all matters which have to do with the Negro it is "seared over with a hot iron." Strange as it may seem to be, the student of history will note that the greatest names in American history are those who have dared to defend the right and plead for justice to the American Negro. Just now we have no brave and fearless, as well as capable statesman whose conscience suggest to him such a policy. Strange that this Nation can furnish so much eloquence to plead for Belgium and Poland and none to grapple with its own iniquities. What shall we say for a Nation where men and women assemble in large groups intent upon violence, plunder and murder upon the helpless member or members of a race which they delight to tell the world is a weaker people. And what shall be concluded of a people in whose hands are both the making and the execution of the laws of the land when they will not abide by the processes of law which they have created and ordained when they are the judge and jury in all the cases of grave or trivial importance. By what process of reasoning do they reckon that they may despoil the women of another people and escape the consequences of their sins. Truly the American conscience is fearfully freakish and strange. When a people can read of the horrible burning of human beings while the crowds make of it a gala day; I say when a people can read of this without grave concern; when there can not be found a priest or prophet to condemn it in vigorous language, nor statesman whose keen sense of justice and fair play would prompt him to champion the right and condemn the wrong; when a people prate loudly about the ills of Belgium but are deaf and mute to the inhumanities here it deserves to be reminded that it should cast the beam out of its own eye. is a larger place than its where soldiers are used by great's main; air of a freedom new has discovered that a environment.

He has been to the cantonments where soldiers are trained, upon the vessels of transport and crossed off oceans main has lived upon foreign soil and breathed the air of a freedom new and sweet. His horizon has been lifted. He has discovered that a day's ride on the train brings him into a new environment. He has gleaned the knowledge that he can be a man if he will only move about in the world. He loves the South and would rather stay there but if the South will not treat him fair he will come North. He loves America and for her he will give his all, but if America will not treat him fair he will go where he can be treated fair. REV. J. W. ROBINSON.

Business Briefs BUSINESS BRIEFS One of the most essential industries on the South Side is the Improved Dental Laboratory at 8 East 37th Street, operated by Messrs, C. Ogletree and J. Z. Yarbrough, Prosthetic Specialists. These young men are thoroughly efficient in their respective line, as is evidenced by their large patronage, which is by no means confined to the trade of their fellow race dentist, but extends to the many corners of Chicago, embracing any number of large, influential white dentists, who appreciate skilled workmanship regardless of color. CHICAGO'S NEEDS Surely fifty years of freedom must have developed some individuals sufficiently, to take up and run successful some of the enterprises enumerate above.
