RIOTS IN WASHINGTON Rockford Mayor Received K. of P. with Open Arms Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro RIO Rockford Mayo K. of P. wi Rockford, Ill., July 25. With tears rolling down his cheeks, Mayor Few, of Rockford, said in welcoming session of K. of P. Grand Lodge: "This city is free from bombs, free from Jim Crowism, free from discrimination of any sort. Rockford knows no man by the color of his skin. We welcome you not as Negroes, but as American citizens." That the sacrifices made by thousands of black boys who lost their lives in the great European conflict, the agonies undergone by men, both white and black, to gain the rights of colored people, were not in vain, that the democracy which has heretofore been only a meaningless pretense, is now being cemented into the very hearts of the American people, was evidenced by the speech of Rockford's Mayor, who shall be known fouse cracked in the war justice as Abra- Mayor Sheds Tears Mayor said in part with tears in eyes, "If the American people do give such men as you equal justice are the courts, equal opportunity to rsue happiness in your own way as it oes to other Americans, they will have to bow their heads in shame and admit that they are not worthy of the name of a republic." There is no place in this city for bombthrowers, lynchers, Jim Crowers in the factories, hotels, and restaurants. In the restaurants you are as welcome as any citizens of any color. I look back a few months and see 75,000 black soldiers whose presence in this city was a source of pleasure to every one and whose departure was an equal regret." Audience Goes Wild Every handkerchief in the audience was saturated with tears of joy. The audience was equally mixed with citizens of both races. When the Mayor took his seat, the crowd was frantic. Their enthusiasm cannot be described, their demonstration cannot be compared. Hon. Fred Sterling Speaks The audience had just about recovered from their pandemonium when the Less Crime in Chicago By Chas Alien Can You Attribute It to the Heat or Prohibition? In making the rounds of the police stations, you find the station men idling their time away playing some innocent game, the lock-up keeper drowsily looking on, and if you look into the cells, you will find them mostly empty. The police claim that all the wrong doers are either conscience stricken or taking a vacation. The emergency hospitals all claim a dearth in lacerated scalps and shootings. They, too, have practically nothing to do. Is the hot weather the cause of this wave of good behavior or is it prohibition? We give it up, its too deep. Mob Leaders Fined Bay Minette, Ala., July 25—Twenty-six out of twenty-eight men pleaded guilty to the charge of being in the mob that shot and killed Frank Foukal, in his cell. After these murderers had pleaded guilty to taking a human life, they were let off by payments of fines. A few got sentences of hard labor. The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY Hon. Fred Sterling, State Treasurer, was introduced. He was not so eloquent as the Mayor, but by the citation of instances where in his private and public life he has not allowed color to be a handicap to any man or woman seeking to better their condition. Major Jackson Replies Alderman Jackson, commonly known as 'Fighting Bob,' ran true to form in his reply to these gentlemen, assuring them that if public officials all over the country had hearts as white and backbones as strong as theirs, there would be no race problem to solve. Miss Ethel Blake, one of the local society belles, further electrified the audience with a soprano solo, that would have done honor to some of the operatic stars of the Metropolitan Company.

Cigar Store Raided; Case of Police Inefficiency A cigar store owned and operated by Jack Hardy, at 31st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, was the scene of a police raid. It is said the minions of the law, headed by detective sergeant Burns, of the Cottage Grove Station, entered in their bullying way and arrested every one within reach, including proprietor and customers who were in the act of making purchases. People who saw the arrest, claim it was outrageous the way these so-called detectives acted. The police claim that a brooch was stolen by a white insurance collector and that said trinket was left with Jack Hardy, the proprietor, for safe keeping. After rifling the cash register, turning over stock, and everything in general, not finding what they sought, they turned to the customers, after searching them, they called the wagon and carried them all to the detective bureau, where they went through the same procedure that hardened criminals are put, failing to find any evidence upon which they could hold these innocent men, they released them. Mr. Hardy's place having been left without any one in charge, when he returned found that his stock was much depleted, twelve boxes of cigars, and many packages of cigarettes had disappeared. The accused says: "Charges of false arrest will be lodged against Burns and his crowd of misinformed ambassadors of the law." Chauffeur Murdered At Cabaret Sidney Dubose, 30 years employed at the old Pekin Inn Cabaret at 27th and State Streets, shot and instanti-killed Minor Shannon, a taxicab driver at 3 A. M. Thursday morning, in midst of a large crowd, following an argument over parking a car. One of the most audacious murders ever witnessed in this city happen Thursday morning while crowds of midnight joy seekers were struggling for standing room in the Old Pekin Hall. The mirth of this gay crowd was turned into sadness, when the smoke of a high caliber revolver had cleared away and the pandemonium, which caused a wild rush for the exits, had ceased, to see the form of Minor Shannon lying prostrate upon the concrete, face foremost, as the result of the well directed aim of Sidney Dubose. The trouble started following an argument over parking a car. Shannon, who owns a big, gray Hudson super six, which he used as a public vehicle, drove up in front of the Midnight Cabaret to deliver passengers, after which he remained in place. Dubose, "Sidney" demanded him to pull out of the way Paying no attention to the remarks of the doorman, Shannon leaps to the sidewalk and started to enter the hall. "Sidney" remonstrated with him in very harsh words. From this point, a very brief, but what turned out to be a fatal argument, started. Draws Revolver Sidney became so enraged by the indifference of the taxi driver, it is said, drew his revolver from his pocket and fired twice in rapid succession, one bullet going wild and the other entering the left lung of his victim, just below the heart. Shannon fell to the cement pavement below and died before medical attention could be procured. The police were very vigilant, having apprehended the slayer before he had any possible chance to escape the impending consequences of his crime. The remains of the murdered man were taken to the undertaking establishment of Dan Jackson, at 33rd and State Streets, where an inquest was held. Minor Shannon was 33 years old and resided in an apartment at 114 Mecca Building. SOLDIERS' TRIAL STOPPED Private Walker Pleads Insanity Rockford, Ill., July 25—Private Elizar Walker, one of the men on trial for alleged assault on a white woman in May, 1918, at the camp, has entered a plea of insanity. This plea of the defendant, will halt the trial of the Colored men, temporarily. Walker is on trial with twenty-one other soldiers, who were convicted of assaulting a Bloomington woman in May, 1918. These men were tried in the Winnebago County Court and were sentenced to hang. The case, being a military case, was then sent to President Wilson to review. The President was not satisfied with the evidence in the case and ordered a new trial. A court-martial board was appointed to review the case, and Colonel Youngs our erst-wild fighter, was appointed President of the Board. The case has been going on at Camp Grant. There have been many important rulings and changes in this case and the outcome is being watched with the keenest interest. GRAVES TOURS WEST IN INTEREST OF THE WHIP Jesse A. Graves, manager of the circulation department of The Chicago Whip, left the city Monday, in interest of the paper. He has thrown in the paths of the young people of this city, a big money-making proposition, by soliciting subscribers for The Whip, during their spare hours; and many of the young men and women have taken advantage of this grand opportunity, and are making good. While away, Mr Graves will place many other young men and women of the Race at work in soliciting subscribers for The Whip 1920 Jesse A. Graves He first made his appearance in the newspaper world at Des Moines, Iowa, as solicitor for the Des Moines Register and Leader, one of the leading dailies of the country. Since Mr. Graves left Des Moines, several good positions have been offered him, but he accepted the one with the Chicago Whip, because he says, "it is the coming weekly in this section of the country; as the Whip has spared no expense in securing a good staff. The staff of the Whip is second to none in ability." Mail $2.00 for one year's subscription to Jesse A. Graves, 3457 State street, Chicago, Ill. While away, Mr. Graves will visit the place of his boyhood days, his old home in Des Moines. Three Wives Claim Him New York, July 25—Theodore Lininston Jackson was brought into the Tombs Court yesterday accused of having three wives. To his disagreeable surprise, they were all at the station awaiting his majesty's arrival. Each in tears claiming him as their lawfully wedded husband. No. 1 Vampire When arraigned in the magistrates court, wife No.1, Virginia Burnett Jackson, was the first to appear on the scene. Jackson, in a very loud voice, vociferated: "Judge, that woman is a vampire. I thought I had seen the last of her, but to my surprise when I sat down in my soft rocker to enjoy some refreshments, a big, pale detective knocked on my door, and when I let him in he was cermoniously narrated that you requested the honor of my presence. That's kinda harsh, don't you think so, Judge?!" Magistrate Simpson did not seem to be favorably impressed with the eloquent testimony of the unusual character. So he ordered the charges of all of the wives placed on file and held Jackson under $2,000 bail to the grand jury. Jackson said he was superintendent of an apartment at 339 Madison Avenue. Southern Red Cross Refuses Colored Soldiers Food Corinth, Miss., July 25—At Corinth, Miss., Red Cross women refused coffee and sandwiches to soldiers on a troop train going through there, because the said soldiers were colored. The Y. M. C. A. secretary, who always goes along with a troop train, on arriving at Corinth, started in search of food for the boys. He soon espied the Red Cross with standwiches and coffee. After he had made known his wants to the Red Cross women, one replied "You have niggers, only." The secretary replied that he had Colored soldiers. But he was immediately told that they did not serve Colored soldiers. After being rebuked by the officer, they tried to compromise by offering to sell the coffee and sandwiches to the Colored soldiers. The Red Cross women averred that they did been informed that the train was to carry white troops. It was told by some of Corinth's leading citizens, that only a few days before this episode, a mixed troop train had passed through, and the Red Cross served the white soldiers only. But the officer in charge of the train, finding this to be true, refused to let them serve any of the soldiers. 8,000,000 FOREIGNERS TO RETURN TO EUROPE PASSPORTS ISSUED (Special to The Whip) What is destined to make the greatest economic change this nation has witnessed since the termination of the Civil War, is the mad rush of hyphenated Americans to leave the Stars and Stripes to return to the land of their nativity Negro Labor in Demand With these foreigners gone the only logical source from which the large industries can expect to re recruit their depleted labor ranks, will be the southern colored man. This means that at least 5,000,000 or over, about 50 per cent of the Negroes now tilling the fertile soil of Dixie for a mere pittance, will migrate to the Northeast and Northwest, thus leaving the sunny South gaping in despair, in the farmers' vernacular "to root Hog or die poor." Southern Papers Muzzle Facts From all angles, the tide of the times point to the inevitability of a serious predicament which the South will be thrown as a result of the vacancy caused by the rapid exodus of Colored people. The Southern newspapers are doing all in their power to keep the Colored citizens ignorant of the conspicuous place they are destined to hold in the realm of the labor world. CARL SANDBURG Newspaper Man, Author and Prize Poet Carl Sandburg, also humanitarian and student of the facts of life, is giving a series of articles on "Negro Conditions and Problems in Chicago" through the columns of the Chicago Daily News. So far Mr. Sandburg has written eight articles. Merit, close observation and fairness have been in evidence. Mr. Sandburg's work is*a decided improvement on that of his colleague, Junius Woods. However, four more articles are to appear next week, and we trust that at the eleventh hour Mr. Sandburg will not disclose any sinister ideas and policies. Ten Dead, Hundreds Wounded Thousands In Jail Washington, July 25. The friction between Races which has been brewing for the last ten days as a result of an alleged attack upon a white woman, by colored man, reached its crisis today when through the influence of the southern element, U. S. Soldiers and Sailors formed numerous mobs, attacking peaceful colored residents. During the battle, lasting for several hours, about five Negroes and five whites were killed, including a United States Sailor and a sergeant detective. With the Nations Capitol a veritable army camp, and more soldiers enroute, with machine guns, awaiting the order of the Secretary of War to declare martial law, the most serious clash on record is now in progress at the seat of President Wilson's Democracy. Negroes Hold Mass Meeting Following the indiscriminate attacks by the white, the leading colored citizens Heiress Visits City Income $175 Per Day: Miss B. D. Carrol, 24 years old, of Los Angeles, California, the richest single woman of the Race, with an income of $175 per day, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Preer, 57 E. 42nd street. Miss Carrol is not only a woman of wealth, but is very highly educated. She is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music and also an alumnus of Oberlin College of Fine Arts. A glimpse of her reflects credit upon the curriculum of these institutions. Rich Overnight Miss Carrol is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Carrol of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol belong to the Creek Freedmen tribe. Each of the children of this tribe was given 160 acres of land by the State of Oklahoma, in 1912. When the oil boom started in that section, 40 acres of Miss Carrol's allotment were found to be heavily saturated with John D's liniment. She gave them permission to develop the land and the first drilling brought one of the biggest gushers in the history of that section. Shortly afterwards, five more wells were sunk, all of which are now producing. She expresses a fondness for sports of all kinds, her favorite out-door pastimes are tennis and horseback riding. On the most beautiful parkway of Los Angeles, she can be seen daily, being admired by expert equestrians as an artist second to none in this sport. In Chicago All Summer Despite the fact that she has been kept busy receiving telephone messages, flowers, fruits and personal calls from Chicago's coterie of Beau Brummels, sufficient in number to make Eva Tangay fret, Miss Carrol modestly says that she has developed a certain amount of tolerance for the boys, and expects to remain in the city for the summer. Second Ward Council of Defense Given Honorable Discharges Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis and her Committee of the 2nd Ward Council of Defense have just been awarded their honorable discharge in the form of a beautiful engraved document from the National Council of Defence, expressing the hearty appreciation of the Government for the untiring service these earnest women gave during the entire period of the war. They are justly proud of this historic document. Rich Overnight In Chicago All Summer If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It TON dreds Wounded ds In Jail held a mass meeting under the auspices of the National Race Congress, at which they pledged themselves to assist the authorities in every possible way to apprehend the alleged criminal and prevent further trouble. In the meantime, they further resolved to protect their homes, wives and children, if it cost the lives of every Negro in Washington. The action on the part of these doves of peace did not seem to affect very favorably nor aid materially in checking the onslaught of the blood-thirsty mob. Negroes Buy Ammunition From When the fiendish mob which was inexotic with the idea of lack of resistance on the part of the colored population, returned to renew their Monday night attack they found the ill underground railway, the colored people had secured from Baltimore stores and ammunition and were deployed for battle. During which the whites were so badly defeated. It is said that the Secretary of War decided to declare the town under martial law and place machine guns in the colored section of the city. One of the most striking features of the determination on the part of the colored citizenize to protect their homes, was brought out by Carry M. Johnson, 17 year old girl, a student of Howard University, who climbed the walls of a tall apartment building, carrying with her, plenty of ammunition, nerve and well-directed aim. The first man to arrest her attention was Harris E. Wilson, a city detective. Without deliberation, she began immediately to get her range and start firing at will. When the smoke of her rifle had cleared away, the body of Wilson lay pale and cold upon mother earth. It is thought by the best citizens of both races that there will not be a recurrence of yesterday's program, as the government has decided to declare martial law. Two Women Hold Up Mexican An attempted hold-up by two unknown women, at 3003 Dearborn Street, resulted in a free for all melee, in which Andrew A. Costi, a twenty-one year old Mexican was severely wounded. According to the Mexican's story, two women tried to hold-up another one of his countrymen, to whose rescue Occame. This attracted the attention five or six more bystanders who joined the fight during the free for all melee, Costi was rendered a severe blow in the head with a blunt instrument. When the officers arrived on the scene, the crowd had fled. Costi was taken to Provident Hospital in the ambulance, where five stitches were taken in his head and his other wounds dressed. Costi says he is a laborer for Mor Company, Union Stock Yards. Race Riots in No. Norfolk, Va., July 21.—Six were shot during a clash between and blacks in the Negro section city tonight.

Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and the ranking Colored official now in the Federal service, was the first man to shake hands with President Wilson, Tuesday night, on his return to Washington. A citizens' committee, appointed by the non-Partisan League, was to meet the President at the Union Station. Judge Terrell was the only Colored representative chosen, out of the entire committee. In view of the fact that Judge Terrell always represents his race with dignity and distinction, whatever the occasion, the selection of the non-Partisan League significantly fitting. After the welcome address had been delivered by the President of the League and the response by the President, the President then began handshaking. The first to whom he turned was Judge Terrell, who is always on his job. Judge Terrell will be remembered as the man who President Wilson appointed on the Bench of the Municipal Court for his fifth term. Although there came forth all kinds of protests from members of the Senate and other political factions, against the President's appointment, President Wilson has more than once given evidence to the fact that Judge Terrell has "made good." Throughout the District of Columbia and the nation at large, no man can be found who is as popular with both races, as Judge Terrell. JAPANESE RADICALS GROWING IN POWER Tokio, June 10—(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—Demand for more comfort for those who work for wages, and that fewer privileges be granted to the rich, are the fundamentals of a popular movement which is gathering form in Japan, and which is causing considerable uneasiness not only to the Government, but to representative Japanese in all spheres of activity. Socialism is attracting the interest of not only the working people, but of men holding important places in the domain of education. This general movement is partly the reflex of the labor unrest in foreign countries, and partly the result of a steadily growing revolt at home against the amassing of wealth by the against the power of Japanese Socialists recently sent out manifestos to Socialists in foreign lands asking for a formal recognition of the Japanese body which has been organized under the name "Japanese Socialist Party." The Socialist Party of Italy sent a response conveying their willingness to recognize the Japanese Socialists as their friends and co-workers. Sen Katayama, the pioneer Socialist of Japan, is now abroad as the representative of his party at home. The attempt to promote Socialism, or a more radical doctrine, is being pushed now because of the awakening of the workers to what they regard as the evils of present economic and industrial conditions. The average Japanese workman is beginning to raise his voice for better pay and more freedom generally. The central organization for working men in Tokio has addressed an open letter to the Home Minister, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, declaring that in case of war it is the working people of Japan who are called upon to defend its shores, and asking whether it is the national policy of Japan to allow capitalists to fatten while the workers are starving. Dr. Jikel Yokoi of the Imperial University, in a public statement, says that democratic ideas long prevalent in the great cities have recently spread among the rural population. They have particularly affected, he said, school teachers, members of the young men's association, and army reservists. Many Japanese scholars are reported to be enthusiastically studying Socialism. Laborers are openly interested, and are often heard discussing the subject in street cars.

Flower Vender Found Dead in Alley Flower Vender Found Dead in Alley Head Crushed by Unknown Party Charlie Dunean, a flower vender, was found in an alley in the rear of 2947 with his skull crushed. The body was found by James Alexander, 3575 Rhodes avenue. Dunean's skull, evidently, had been crushed by a heavy iron bar, as the bar was found within a few feet of his body. Duneynec well known around Chi, he had peddled flowers for the last years. Dunean had saved his money, as was evidenced by the roll he always carried, and the large bank account that he possessed. The Cottage Grove Avenue police on examining Duncan's body, found $78 in money and a check for $15. But the familiar diamond that Duncan always wore was missing. This leads to the belief that Duncan met foul play on account of his diamond pin that he always wore. His body was removed to Jackson's Undertaking rooms at 3315 State street What a Patient Says About G. Edward Taylor, Foot Specialist at 7230 Wentworth Ave. Perhaps it is not all on account of the red blood in his veins that he is so enthused over his profession. His method of making arch supports and treating the feet is a certain one, for it does not deal with contingencies. It has revolutionized the whole scheme of support fitting for the feet, elevating it to the plane where it rightfully belongs. Perfect in operation, so comfortable and corrective in effects and proving so satisfactory to those who are enjoying its efficiency daily, that it stands pre-eminently above every other method used or devised.

Broad St., New York, July 19—The will of Alei ander Waters, 50, fled for probate in the Surrogate's Court, Brooklyn, yesterday, consists of only seven words and leaves an estate declared to be "more than $10,000" to Miss Zulma Powell, a colored woman, aged 35, who was a house-keeper in the decedent's home for a number of years. "All I have belongs to Zulma," reads the will. Alexander William Waters died suddenly in his office, 61 Broadway, Manhattan, July 3 last. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. He was sitting at his desk and had spoken of feeling ill. A premonition of impending death seized him. He took a large sheet of paper on the back of which was printed a "daily market letter," and wrote the seven words of his will on it in a large sprawling hand. He Signs Will Twice Then he signed it "A. W. Waters" twice, and, according to Edward J. Reilly, Miss Powell's lawyer, called two men in the office to witness it. They were I. W. Meggblade and Harry L. Torrance. In a few minutes Waters was dead, the paper on the desk before him. A policeman took possession of it. Waters lived at 228 Lincoln place, Brooklyn, near Eighth avenue, in one of the best sections of Brooklyn. A negro woman answered the bell at the three-story brownstone dwelling there yesterday. "Zulma Powell is out of town," she said, "and won't return until next week." According to Mr. Reilly, Miss Powell has acted as Waters' housekeeper and nurse—his health was not always the best—since she was 19 years of age. When Waters moved to 228 Lincoln place from the home he had in Prospect place, she went with him. Waters owned the house, according to Harrison Speaks to Railway Men New York, July 25.—Ex-Judge Wm.

The rest of the house was devoted to use as a high class boarding house. It is still being used for that purpose and, according to the woman who came to the door yesterday, Miss Zulma Powell is in charge. The situation has been complicated by the fact that letters of administration were issued for the estate by Surrogate Wingate to the mother July 9. Mrs. Waters declared that no will had been found and added, that beside herself the following and no other were interested in the proceeding: David G. Waters, brother of the decedent; Malcolm C. Waters, brother, both of 285 Empire Boulevard; Charles T. Waters, brother, Lynbrook, L. L.; and Lena A. Thurston, sister, of Orange, New Jersey. The mother said last night that the matter was in the hands of her lawyer, William C. Daly. To her it seemed, she said, as if her son was under the influence of his housekeeper and could not shake it off. It is her contention and the contention of her lawyer that the will is invalid. Signed Too Late. Is Charge The statement is made that the two men, whose names are attached to it, first saw the frail document after Watters had died and simply signed their names to it, one adding that the paper had been found on Waters desk. Mrs. Waters had not been served with notice of the probate of the will. Waters was a bachelor. He was the general agent here of several large fruit growing associations on the Pacific coast and was born in Montreal. He was high in Masonic circles, was an Elk and a member of the American Bulldog Association. His mother said last night that she did not know just what the extent of her son's estate was. In the petition for letters of administration it was referred to as personal property not exceeding $500, real estate of a value unknown.

"How Can I Miss When I Have DeadAim" Monster Mass Meeting of Stock Yards Workers Held in Vacant Lot, West 47th and Robey Streets, Sunday, Afternoon, July 20th, at 2 P.M. In the blazing sun a crowd of packing house workers estimated at 35,000 assembled around the automobile truck which served as the speakers' stand and listened to report of the officials of the Stock Yards Labor Council and received advice relative to the future activities of the council in behalf of the workers. Brother Martin P. Murphy, President Stock Yards Labor Council, called the meeting to order and announced the purpose for which it was necessary to hold this meeting under the circumstances. After laying the matters before the people that were so vitally important to their interest and to the ones that are representing them, he introduced Brother J. W. Johnstone, Secretary Stock Yards Labor Council. Secretary Johnstone explained to those who had been implicated in the walkout that was the result of protest against working under police surveillance that arrange- would have been removed and he desired that the men return to work and allow the council to formulate and present a wide scale that might possibly meet the proval of all the workers concerned. They would have the right to ratify every action the council attempts to make where their interest is involved and conditions will not be friendly between the workers if the packers continue to attempt to use the police to force unbearable conditions on these workers. Various police captains whose activity in the packing house districts has been directed against the interest of the workers, were brought in for their share of criticism as there is a noticeable lack of protection offered those workers against hold-up men, burglar and pickpockets. It seems that the functions of the police in this particular district has been grossly misapplied. After Secretary Johnstone addressed the meeting, he read the letter received by the representative of the council from Judge Samuel Alschuler, and expressed his confidence in the men and assured them that the police would be entirely removed and they should return "How Fiv HARVE 4750 South Sta shoul "How Can I Miss Five reasons why HARVEY B.

SAUNDERS to work and have all grievances brought through the regular channel, which would be adjusted with as little delay as possible. The result of the wage-scale committee will be announced and the demands formulated and presented at an early date, which will greatly lessen the dissatisfaction that has existed for some time. John Kikulski, Polish organizer, was the next speaker and after he delivered his address in Polish, it was suggested that a motion be entertained in order to determine the attitude of the men. Mr. Moseleski, offered a motion in English and Polish and explained same to the workers and the vote to return to work was unanimous, after which the committee returned to council headquarters to confer with the shop stewards and acquaint the Judge with the action taken at the meeting. The workers were urged to continue to help add to their membership as there were yet a few workers who are not members of the organization and they must insist that everybody become a member in order to maintain an organization that will function properly in their behalf. The campaign for a hundred per cent organization is going forward by leaps and bounds. At Executive Board meeting Local 651, many vital questions were discussed and action taken that will greatly change matters affecting the organization. Progressive measures were considered that will be a great benefit to the entire movement. This meeting was one of the best attended in the history of the Stock Yards organization campaign, which is remarkable from the fact that there was not a single piece of literature passed advertising the meeting, showing conclusively that people interested in the same thing can always be brought together. The best of order was maintained and there was not a single police officer visible in this great gathering. We may expect an agreeable surprise coming out of the international convention as the delegates are all loaded and prepared to put over a number of "pot shots" that are going to make matters happen. v Can reasons EY B.

Police on duty in the yards since the protest against police "surveillance" on the part of the employees of Wilson & Company was somewhat diminished. The writer made a trip through the yards for the purpose of ascertaining how many of these officers were being used Saturday afternoon by the packers to intimidate working men and found that at 43rd and Ashland three were on duty; at 42nd and Ashland, two were taking it easy; at the entrance of Wilson & Co.'s plant on Ashland Avenue, one was in bold relief, attempting to prevent a building from falling by leaning against it; at 41st and Ashland, two healthy officers were discussing the Peace Treaty, comfortably seated on the shady side of the building. Going east on Exchange Avenue, two were seen representing the Cavalry Squad on horses, apparently just riding around with nothing in particular to do; yet, we wonder why thieves, pickpockets, burglaries and dynamiters can never be caught and continue to terrorize peaceful citizens from time to time and we are compelled to be satisfied with reading various crimes that are committed by these denizens of the underworld. It is reported that the employees of Libby, McNeil and Libby had occasion to resent certain impositions relative to conditions under which they were working and after an attempt to straighten matters out with the superintendent those in the cook and stuffing rooms approximately 300 in number, working on the 6th and 9th floors, quit work and walked away. The exact nature of what was the cause of this action on the part of the men is not definitely known. A committee from the Stock Yards Labor Council and the A. F. of L. meets Colored Baptist Ministers' Alliance at 27th and Dearborn Streets, Monday, July 14th, at 2 o'clock p. m., and the result of the meeting promises to be the means of securing the aid and moral support of this group of leaders which will greatly aid the movement. Wednesday night, July 16th, the committee representing the Stock Yards Labor Council and the A. F. of L. attended the A. M. E. Sunday School Convention that was in session at Bethel Church.

F. of L. in trying to maintain the spirit of the organization which is intensified through craft autonomy and let them know that it was not necessary that the Sleeping Car and Parlor Car Porters and Dining Car Employees be represented in the A. F. of L. convention at Atlantic City except as provided for through their international union, but if they had desired to have delegates there, they could have secured credentials and been seated in this convention. As their own international convention convenes on August 19th, it would have been an unnecessary expense to the organization to have sent delegates to the A. F. of L. convention. Suppose they are satisfied with the way they handle the business in the organization, hence why complain? At the special meeting of Local 268, held at Johnson's hall, 3518 S. State Street, Thursday, July 17, 1919, matters were disposed of with precision and the meeting was a entering wedge through which various obstacles can be overcome and the progress of the local assured. P. D. Campbell when seen the other day at the office of Local 268, 4300 S. State Street, although busy using every spare minute possible for the benefit of the organization, had time to smile and insist upon the will of the men being the predominating influence governing his actions in all matters. 30th and Dearborn Streets. After interviewing Presiding Elder Carey through the assistance of Rev. Scott, was given permission to address the delegates to this convention on the merits of the labor movement and its benefits to humanity in general. A lady solicitor was a total failure in her attempt to sell some of the packers' gold bonds to about 200 girls employed in one of the concerns which was an offer on the part of the company to let these girls become partners in the concern. When this attempt to prevent the workers from securing better conditions failed, the good-hearted foreman through sympathy for them, took part of their lunch time away and then began to drive and abuse them after which he sent them home without allowing them to make a full day. Such generosity certainly must be appreciated by the victims. 1st—He never says, "I haven't got it". 2nd—When it comes to accuracy in filling prescriptions he is second to none. 3rd—He is employing a great number of educated men and women that otherwise would be out of work. 4th—Your patronage is the only patronage that he can expect. 5th—His prices are lower than can be found elsewhere. --- mitteman to succeed Hon.

Author's name not on program. Produced week of July 14th, with this cast: Tom Logan.....Andrew S. Bishop Jem Mason.....Arthur Simmons Frederick Armsdale.....H. L. Pryor Mose Jones.....Charles Olden Limpy Morgan.....Evelyn Ellis The Governor of the State..J. L. Griner The Deputy Warden of the prison.....Walter Robinson Mike Corrigan, a prison guard.....Lional Monagas Samuel Logan.....J. L. Griner Jim Logan.....Arthur T. Ray Herbert Shaw, the Governor's Man.....Lional Monagas Ruth Larkins.....Cleo Desmond Samantha Logan.....Inez Clough Little Grace Logan.....Evelyn Ellis Jeanette Logan.....Carlotta Freeman We can safely say that Human Hearts was a well constructed piece, offering final opportunities for the players. The atmosphere of pure country folks was minutely created and sustained by Andrew S. Bishop and Cleo Desmond. As Tom Logan, Mr. Bishop enrobed himself with a spirit of simplicity that automatically compelled a mutual relationship with Jim Larkins, portrayed by Miss Desmond. Work of this kind will indelibly impress the theater-goers that these two artists are absolutely sincere and painstaking. Mr. Simmons as the tramp, Jem Mason was a spectacular attraction in the melodrama trend of this part of domestic relations. Carlotta Freeman, as Jeanette and Inez Clough were indeed creditable. Miss Clough as Samantha Logan, lost a fine element of this character in as much as she would not submit her New England accent to be buried under the dialectic speech of the country lady. This in itself marred an otherwise splendid study. Jim Logan, by Mr. Ray was well studied, and even balanced. In Olden as Mose Jones, was characteristic, yet we enjoyed his delineation so well, that he stopped his performance often to get a good giggle and disturb the other players. Not good form and certainly this splendid actor was caught off guard. Beyond a doubt, his production is the most consistent and conservative one presented by this aggregation in the past four weeks. The Avenue is running true to form with the exceptions of the usual nuisance the "Ice Cream Cone Episode." Robert, ms has once again left the legit for pictures. He will star in a Paragon six-reeler, "The Rounds of Youth." When the English melodrama, "The Whip," was running in New York, it became quite the fashionable thing for a party of young people, and some not so young, to slip away from some function in Fifth Avenue, or even to desert the opera temporarily, so that they could ride on the railroad train that steamed across the stage of the Manhattan Opera House, and from which the box-car containing the famous race horse in the play was dramatically detached by the villain, seemingly at the imminent risk of his worthless life. Among the passengers who, on one certain night, could be seen at the car windows, was a lady, a leader in society, whose married name is regarded as the most aristocratic in America, one bearer of the name being today an English peer. With her were other personages of both sexes whose The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE CLIO DESMOND STARS AT AVENUE The Theatre and the People The Theatre and the People The first duty, on going to the theatre is to be aware of your culture and conscience. For example, a clergyman widely known in religion and literature was discoursing upon the playhouse, and while expressing his conviction of the potential power for good in the playhouse, declared himself in one sentence: "I seldom go to the theatre myself, because I do not know what I am liable to run into, even when the actors are first class." In this remark all unconsciously, the Reverend offers himself as a magnificent illustration of the superstitious view of the race in respect to the playhouse. Why, in heaven's name, does he not know what he is liable to run into? The answer is easy: Because he—like thousands more—has not dreamed that it is a part of his cultural and his Christian duty to become intelligent in the affairs of this people's art, this mighty educational influence, the theatre. In his attitude toward any other phase of thought and life, we should, as likely not, find him sane and progressive, here, he is about as modern as the—New York City horse cars. It is easy for him or for any other man of like education to know in advance about the plays he sees, if he is willing to take the same amount of time and trouble Screening the Players Sidney Chaplin was seen around the Claridge with a contented look illuminating his usually correct features; and it developed that he had just signed a corking contract with Famous Players—Lasky, or Zukor, of Paramount—whatever. Chaplin—Syd—will make four pictures a year for them, on the coast, along the line of that famous submarine comedy he made for Keystone. Sheldon Lewis was so good in his wife's new picture, "The Bishop's Emeralds," that manager Louis Mayer decided to star him alone—according to press advices. "The Monster and the Man" is the name of the first Lewis release, with the star, we suppose, essaying a double role. At last we are to see that redoubtable lover, Lou, Hyphenated, Tellegen, make love to his own wife on the screen. Goldwyn has/signed him to act opposite the celebrated Farrar in her pictures that she is making out in Culver City between operatic engagements. Mae Gish goes around with a rather worried look these days; she's househunting. Mae Gish is better known as Mrs. Gish, mother of Lillian and Dorothy. A sweet-faced, soft-voiced little woman, she is as far removed as possible from the average conception of the proverbial "stage mother." She is domiciled with her lively daughter Lillian in a Manhattan hotel—not a theatrical hotel, the Gishes always shun the crowded places—but another off the beaten track; and trying to placate her younger daughter Dorothy by long-distance. The poor kid is living alone, except for the maids, in the big Gish home in Hollywood, and every few days sends a lengthy wire begging Lill and Mam to come on back. Mrs. Gish wants a house somewhere near the studio which D. W. Griffith will select for his work in the cast—a house, not an apartment. Because they are going to transfer all their household goods to New and penates will occupy a dozen rooms. faces are familiar in the 'Golden Horse-shoe,' at the Metropolitan, and it was said by one of the business staff of the theater that the aggregate wealth represented in two of the 'prop' coaches was not far short of a billion dollars. Then he whispered the names of the passengers, and there were tears in his voice as he regretted the impossibility of giving them to the newspapers. "It would be a great bit of publicity to tell the flower of America's aristocracy is riding with us tonight," he said. "But it would not do. They are the guests of the management, and the first thing the chaperon of the party insisted on, after saying that they would enjoy the experience, was that their incognito should be stricly preserved. It's a queer thing," he added, thoughtfully. "These same swells will take part in which he would not hesitate to take over some other social or literary question; and the theatre is both. It is indeed discouraging when the very men who should lead opinion in the matter, go haphazard to the playhouse, blunting their own perceptions, losing the good that might be gained, and furnishing a very bad example to others. Culture should guide us aright to the desirable play; conscience, not for a moment blinded by artistic values or literary excellencies, stimulating as they are, must insist on the discrimination between large, noble tragedy which broadens sympathy, and that which is merely devitalizing; between humor that is clean, elevating and corrective, and that which is low, cheap and asinine; between an earnest and honest attempt to deject the world as it is, and such representations as constitute an insidious arousal of the beast in man. We can all act upon the principal as individual theatre-goers; and also in our many associate and corporative capacities—as we have seen is being done by numerous clubs. When the theatre is made the "Temple of Life," is wisely instructing man even while it furnishes him with rational pleasure, it will be known for a sacred place, and reckoned as a pride of the nation. Dorothy's company will in all prob ability "work cast" this summer. Ralph Graves is one of the young men of whom other not so fortunate young men are speaking in somewhat envious terms. Ralph—only a kid, nine-teen—is the new Griffith juvenile; he is playing a lead in the director's last Arteraft production, part of which was "lmed in New York, and part in California. You may remember that he was "discovered" by Universal and Violet Merserean at a Chicago film convention; and that he played the callow youth, for Essanay, in Mary MacLean's "Men Who Have Made Love to Me." The Eminent Author's Corporation has been formed. Their eminences include Rupert Hughes, Rex Beach, Gettrude Atherton, Leroy Scott, Gouverneur Morris, and Mary Roberts Rinehart. They will, of course, film their own works, under the guidance of Beach, who has had much practical experience in putting his own books into screen form. Goldwyn is the company behind the corporation. Mollie King surprised her friends recently by announcing her marriage to Kenneth D. Alexander, millionaire horse owner of Spring Station, Ky. The announcement came when the couple appeared together at the New York theater where Miss King is appearing in "Good Morning, Judge!" The marriage was performed by deputy city clerk in the Municipal building, with Warren P. Sayres, Kentucky distiller, acting as best man. Miriam Cooper is playing mother these days. She and her husband, Baoul Walsh, the director, adopted a little boy who lost his parents in the Halifax disaster. He's a cunning little chap and Miriam delights in dressing him up in the latest for male infants. She is to appear, in her spare time, in one of her husband's new productions. York, and their various feminine lar amateur performances and show themselves as eager for prominence on the programme as a comic opera comedian, but when they appear professionally they seem to feel a little ashamed. I don't know why. Probably it's for the same reason—or lack of reason—that some persons hide their faces with their hands in a group photograph." "How do these amateur superms compare with those who make a business of it?" was asked. "The amateurs are quite as good as the regulars," came the prompt answer. "In the Whip, they were requested not to look at the audience, but to converse easily with each other while the train was in view of the front of the house. This was the only stage direction they got, and they obeyed it to the letter." Part II THE CHICAGO WHIP ST LY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC OND STARS By CLARENCE E. MUSE AVENUE An intense drama, using as a paramount medium "a mother's love" for her daughter, told in four acts, by—produced July 21 with this cast: The Cast Rosalie ..... Ine Clough Marie Forgeat ..... Cleo Desmond Claude Lescuyer ..... Andrew S. Bishop Mons. Lescuyer ..... J. L. Criner Dr. Berlier ..... Lional Monagas Claudine Forgeat ..... Evelyn Mills Jaeques Bistac ..... Walter Robinson Flambon ..... H. L. Pryor Gaston Marceau ..... Arthur T. Roy Jean Michaud ..... Chas. Olden Gendarme ..... L. Saganom Loran ..... H. Roy Chief of Police ..... Arthur Simons Heloise Lescuyer ..... Carlotta Freeman Counsel for the Defense ..... S. Arthur President of the Court ..... C. J. Lawrence Presiding Judge ..... O. Charles Foreman of the Jury ..... R. Walters Jurymen, etc., by themselves The large audience present on Monday evening expressed themselves vociferously, inasmuch as the present vehicle is a well-constructed drama instead of a mediocre melodrama. The thematic tendency throughout would readily bring to the mind the story of "Madame X." However, the author has displayed unusual skill in holding the audience tense and nonapprehensive of the happy ending. Miss Evelyn Ellis is truly an artist, with splendid emotional powers. Her ability to sob audibly and to repress sorrow at times when it is feasible to depict joy is indeed an evidence of her well-controlled art. Mr. Simmons gave a very forceful reading as the counsel for defense. At times faulty dictation was evident, but with proper training this may be easily corrected. Andrew S Bishop as the guilty man wade an excellent picture from the front. His deficiency in emotion was cleverly covered by the eloquent speeches at his disposal, which is creditable to the author. The rapid reading at times destroyed the sincerity of the artist, and the audience is compelled to forget that the actor is living the character and readily begin to feel that he is only reading delightful oration. A little more care along these lines will improve the work of our favored leading man. Miss Cleo Desmond is an ideal blind mother. She struck the sympathetic chord which was played upon with the delicacy and touch of a finished artist. An excellent creation! Charles Olden exemplified the old friend of Flambon. Arthur Ray was a true lover conscientious throughout. J. L. Criner, Hayes Prior, Walter Robinson, Carlotta Freeman together with the jury men completed a well balanced caste in an exceedingly well fitted drama. One of the best Monday night performances recently witnessed at the above theatre. MOVIE NOTES William Faversham and Maxine Elliot have secured the film rights to "The Man Who Lost Himself," by H. De Vere Staepoole, which will soon be produced by them as independent producers. If this picture proves a winner they will produce a series of high-class plays with themselves as stars. The Famous Players-Lasky Corporation has acquired the Moss Circuit of houses. They intend to give high-class vaudeville acts along with their pictures. Instead of the small coterie of musicians now in these houses, they will place mammoth symphony orchestras. Let the ten-cent carfare come—the movie and vaudeville houses on the South Side should worry. Thomas Dixon Has New Play The author who caused so much dissension with his abominable play, "The Clansman," has a new play that is being rehearsed in the Bijou Theater, New York City. He lays claim to the fact that it deals with the most vital issue of the day. We trust that he will not give us any more of his warped ideas on the race question in this new vehicle. ON ACCOUNT OF OTHER DUTIES INCUMBENT UPON THE DRAMATIC EDITOR HE DID NOT GIVE IN THESE COLUMNS A CRITICISM OF LAST WEEK'S SHOW. Most Surprising-Is Broken Blossoms Based on Narrative by Thomas Burke The episodes of "Broken Blossoms" involve three persons—Battling Burrows, a bully of the London slums; a young Chinese priest named Cheng Huan, who has come out of the Far East to spread to the people the doctrine of brotherly love, and Lucy, a girl of fifteen, who, when but a mere babe, was thrust into the arms of Battling Burrows as a mere bundle of white rags—the gift of one of the Battler's girls. The scenes are laid in the crooked alleys of London's Limehouse district. When he is drunk or out of temper, the Battler, a prize fighter, wreaks his rage upon this piteous child. Her starved, bruised little body creeps sorrowfully around the crooked alleys. Concerned with its own sins, Limehouse has no time to bother about Lucy or her sorrows. As Lucy creeps down through the shadow alleys there is one who looks after her with a sort or holy adoration. This pitying heart belongs to the young Chinaman. His highest hopes beaten down, all that remains to him of beauty and of light is his wistful, almost sacred love for this helpless child who passes by his store. One day the Battler beats Lucy with rather more cruelty than usual, and her fainting, broken little figure staggers weakly down the road and falls in through the Chinaman's doorway. Tenderly he gathers the little one in his arms and bears her upstairs to his lonely room. There he bathes her wounds. With a quaint fancy he dresses her in wonderful old silken robes and tends her with the sweet, pure veneration that a subject might bestow upon a wounded princess. But there comes a day when the prize fighter bursts into the apartment and wrecks it with murderous paws. Through the cloudy mist of a London fog, you can see the cringing little figure being dragged back to her doom. Some terrible instinct tells the child that this beating will be the last. She tries to escape into a closet, but a ruthless hatchet beats down the barrier. The Chinaman comes too late to the scene; he finds only a still, broken little figure, her last lonely wistful smile still on her dead lips. With a deadly calm, as one who performs an act of holy sacrifice, the young Bhuddist priest gathers the pitiful figure in his arms and carries it back through the misty fog to his room where she knew her few brief hours of happiness. With a flower placed tenderly in her grubby little hands, he bids her a last farewell, says his last prayers to a little figure of Bhuda and slips out of the hard, cruel world with a dagger in his heart. And what of the end of Battling Burrows? He was found in the morning with five bullet holes in his body, Cheng Huan's love-gift before he took the body WHERE THEY ARE By Chas.

Before an audience distinguished by the presence of many men and women prominent in society and public life, and with a touch of dear ol' London in the person of Sir Thomas Lipton and party, D. W. Griffith's repertory season, the first in the history of the stage, opened brilliantly at the Geo. M. Cohan Theater. Mr. Griffith selected for his initial offering, "Broken Blossoms," based on a story by Thomas Burke, and preceded by a thematic pantomime in which appeared, in real life, the characters of the picture. The pantomime, or prologue, was one of the most artistic things New York has seen in years, and immediately put the audience in the Oriental atmosphere of the picture that followed. Weird Chinese music, played back of the screen, added to the appeal of the prologue, while burning perfumed incense filed the entire theater with the fragrance of the Orient. Mr. Griffith could not have chosen a more exquisitely delicate offering than "Broken Blossoms," a colorful romance built about the lives of those who smile and weep in the great Limehouse district of London. It is a strange combination of delicacy and brutality, of blooming flowers and sudden death, of the light and shade of life. Its terrific strength and profound emotion is quite the most startling New York has seen on the screen in years and establishes a new high record for David Griffith. The players, too, are brilliant in their artistic achievement, chief honors going to Lilian Gish, Richard Barthelmess and Donald Crisp. Riverside Press, N. Y. Nearly Everybody Goes to DREAMLAND BUFFET SEATING C. ACITY 500 Electric Fans Make This CHICAGO'S COOLEST SPOT 3520 South State Street WM. BOTTOM'S Phones Douglas 8383 and 2496 Success in the Movies "Chastity," says a movie comedian, "is one of the essential qualities of success in the pictures these days. To be successful on the stage today an actor must live a clean, moral life, otherwise his personality will reflect his evil life and repel people instead of attracting them. I do not know why this is true, but I know it is true. I can mention the names of comedians who have been compelled to retire from the stage because of the immorality of their private lives. The public today instinctively seems to know whether a man is good or bad, right or wrong in his life. People seem to have developed a kind of uncanny sixth sense about these things. The man who leads an evil life and who has an evil mind cannot make people laugh any more." Do you know better pictures are filmed from artificial light than sunlight? NOT ON THE CORNER but Located at 4707 South State Street DR. NEWELL, The Dentist, who has just returned from FRANCE, has opened a MODERN SANITARY DENTAL OFFICE at 4707 SOUTH STATE ST. 4707 SOUTH STATE STREET (Not on the Corner) Just South of 47th Street --- Procrastination is the thief of time. And when applied to your mouth means the loss of your teeth and your health. So why wait until your teeth become abscessed —which often necessitates a surgical operation? I examine your teeth and give you an estimate free. You are in no way obligated for my professional advice. NEWELL DENTAL TREATMENTS ARE GUARANTEED PAINLESS "You will perhaps marry Mr. Keller, yes, Mam'zelle," asked Jacques, the head waiter. "Frenchy, you are askin' something that is no more your business than it is to know how much of my hair grows on my dresser and how much is fastened to my bean," said the Coat Girl cheerfully. "But I don't mind tellin' you that I have thought sometimes I might take Keller for life." "In fact, I was almost certain I would, Frenchy, until he said it. "There ain't no woman, who has lived twenty-five years, who hasn't had some guy ask her, unless her face ain't mates, or she ain't got no figure to speak of." She paused to smooth her dress over her hips. "I have had several of them want to change my name and occupation for me, and I believe this fella, Keller, had a little edge on any of 'em till he asked me. "He didn't get all choked up, like a little boy sayin' a speech in school, and sputter over it. "He didn't say it like it was something he had studied out, and was repeatin' to me, either. "He made the mistake of sayin' it so smooth and easy that it looked a lot to me like he had said it to other girls until he was used to it, and I begun to have visions of a second-hand engagement ring that some jeweler had been roamin' out on the inside and to think about his experienced hands grabbin' me as soon as I said 'yes,' so I said 'no' and fooled him. "I don't care how much a woman may like a man of the world, there is one time in her life when she wants a guy to get confused and anxious and that's when he asks her to hook up with him for good." International Secretary, Jere L. Sullivan sent a communication to Local 268 which has caused quite a few men employed on certain railroads to lean back and chuckle. Whatever was contained in this communication certainly must have sounded a note of satisfaction, so let's all be prepared for an agreeable surprise. Grievances in the last month have been less apparent as the fact has become generally known that Local 268 has a grievance committee that will do business in a business way. This means the growth and success of any organization. Do Your Teeth Need Attention? Do Your Banking with Your Own Institutions R. W. HUNTER & CO.

THE LAND OF TEARS Went back “home” last week to see If things were the same as they used to be. Got sort o’tired of city life— Noise and crowding and ceaseless strife Yearned to look at the old gray town Out at its elbows and running down. Thought it would seem good ’cross the years, Found instead ’twas a land of tears! Gaps in the ranks of the boys I knew, Girls mostly widows; only a few Seemed to have lived and made their way; Nobody nigh who cared to play. Weren’t even glad to have me come— There just in time to remind of some Grief and care that had grown between Them and me since Time was green, Black the color, mixed with blue Where I had looked for a rosy hue; My mind teemed with memories bright, They saw only the darkest night. Past full of gloom, no future at all, Just setting ’round to await the call. From ‘the Angel of Death’ who paused next door, Sighing and sighing of “Nevermore.” Came straight back to the crowd and noise, The seething city and its joys, Where life stays young despite its years, Leaving forever the Land of Tears! Bump—the Gaints got one handed to them but that makes the game. They were up against a hot bunch. Pete Hill sends word to the Whip, for the Chicago gang to bring all they can rake, scrape, borrow or steal when they invade Detroit.

Yaas sir, yaas sir, I understand perfectly, perfectly well sir, but here is one morning ole Henry sure ain't goin' to do no waitin'". "Well how's that," asked the customer. "Cause Henry done lost you in a crap game last night," came back the answer. FILIPINOS ARE TAKING TO THE BOX Natives of Islands Make Good Showing Against Australian Fighters By T. S. Andrews That the natives of the Philippines are fast picking up the boxing game is evident from the showing that they have been touring that country. Manila is some of the Australian fighters who have been touring that country. Manila ih the headquarters for all boxing shows and big crowds have been attending the shows. Lew Edwards, the Australian lightweight champion, is a high class boxer, but he has met some pretty tough lads among the Filipinos. Edwards stopped Eddie Duarte in three rounds and defeated Kid Dencio in ten rounds, but both natives gave him a real battle. Filipino Wins in Ten Bounds Francisco Flores, the native lad, who fought Edwards some time ago, defeated Tommy Ryan of Australia in ten rounds. Harry Holmes of Australia beat Silvino Jamito in ten rounds, while Battling Sanchez, a native, stopped Owen Cairns in one round. The latter is a lightweight and was pretty well thought of in Sydney. Frank Churchill, a Manila promoter, has offered a purse of $15,000 for a match between Champion Pete Herman and Vince Blackburn of Australia, but there is little chance of its being arranged. It will not be long before some of the best of the Manila boys will be invading the United States in search of some of the soft purses hung up these days. Is Mike Gibbons Slipping?

In his fight with Harry Greb at Pittsburgh recently, the latter was given the decision by practically all the papers; in fact, it was stated at the time that Greb won the fight easily. Gibbons met Jeff Smith at Kansas City on July 4 and again the papers there gave Smith the decision with hardly a dissenting voice; in fact, most of them came out flat-footed for Smith. There is no doubt that Gibbons was one of the cleverest middleweights the country has produced in some time, but with these numerous set-backs of late, it seems a foregone conclusion that Michael has seen his best days. There has been a great deal of talk about a championship match between the present title holder, Mike O'Dowd, also of St. Paul, and Gibbons, but nothing definite has been arranged yet. Instead of a championship match, it is more likely that these two boys will be matched at St. Paul for a ten-round no-decision contest. Arrow Club Opens Tennis Courts The Arrow Club has purchased the site adjacent to the Eighth Regiment Armory and have spared no expense in preparing a first-class terrace in order to furnish an innocent pastime for the gentler sex of that vicinity. The club is composed of a conscientious set of young men who are desirous of making this a better community, not by words but deeds. The young women will have some place to go and be entertained, which will be minus the contaminating influences of the cabarets. Billiards THE UXE LORS ER, Proprietor T AMUSEMENT NTLEMEN T TABLES 8 Fooling the Brain POOLING IN THE SENSE that we use it, is the joint undertaking of several individuals or groups whereby property is invested to the gain and advantage of those interested. It is the co-operative style of business whose strength lies in the fact that it is inforced and reinforced by the property of many. Smooth working colossals, business enterprises have been perfected and made substantial in the world today through collective capital. And, in a land of unlimited resources, pregnant with undeveloped opportunities and redundant with people who have done things, we wonder why the Negro has not created a brain pool within the fair confines of America? If the brains of the Negro race could be cemented into joint undertakings which would give forth real results the first step toward economic stability would be taken. THE NEGRO RACE has over 4,500 college graduates in this country today. These men should to all intents and purposes be vastly capable and prepared to do constructive work for themselves and the race. These men have been supplied with water from the Hyperian springs of knowledge and we wonder why they have not pooled their brains with those who have been through the college of experience and understand life's problems? We find that many Negro graduates, like the traditional Indian who, after finishing Carlisle University, went back to the blanket of the savage, have gone back to the dining cars and behind the chairs of "Mr Eddy," and on the camp stool of "Uncle George (Pullman). Why haven't these men pooled their brains? WE DO NOT WISH to cast any insinuations or aspirations upon waiters or porters. We realize that they make good money. We see that there is even an art in waiting, and also a certain amount of dignity in being a good porter. But our point is that the race cannot spare her best brains in these capacities. We need these men in the fight for recognition and racial stability, therefore, we believe "that many a gem of purest race serene is wasting its sweetness on the desert air." Many colored men believing themselves to be uncalled have thrown away ambition, admitted themselves imprisoned into economic grooves and have assigned themselves to the trash baskets of failure, and with a certain amount of stoicism and inward compromise have agreed to be porter we see another type, the butterfly, flitting in the evanescent, and vanishing pleasures of life, forgetting the future, prostituting ideals and bargaining away their souls for carnal enjoyments, and even though they are college men and graduates are being whirled about in the maelstrom of life; and the railroads and hotels are merely the methods and means of getting the wherewithal for their pleasures. Still another class have made the mistake of early marriages, before they arrived, forgetting their future, forgetting their duties to the race, to their posterity, they have become proletariats and recipients of gratuities or tips because that system appears to them to be the easiest way to be elevated. We can appreciate the fact that the doors of civic and economic opportunities have in many instances been closed to young college bred Negroes. We have seen them enter into the arena of life. We have seen the wolves and vultures of destruction encircle them. We have also seen hitherto hidden barriers loom up in his pathway, and we have seen his spirit crushed, his ardor dampened and his hope destroyed. These were merely the trials of life and weaklings are crushed, while the stalwart and brave have kept on with their vision still undaunted, until they became cogs in the machinery of Negro advancement. ARCHIMEDES SAID THAT "IF HE HAD A PLACE TO STAND IN THE WORLD AND A LEVER, HE COULD MOVE THE WORLD." THAT WAS LONG AGO. TODAY WE SEE MEN WHOSE BRAINS HAVE BEEN POOLED MAKING A PLACE IN THE WORLD TO STAND AND ALSO MAKING A LEVER TO MOVE IT WITH. TODAY, IN AN ERA of constructive service, there is a place for every man. Those men whose brain have been trained and developed are needed in the service. The brains of our race are going to be pooled. The crusade is on. There is fire in the eye. Banners are being unfurled. We hear the clarion call of our shepherds calling the delinquents and renegades to the fold—the fold of brains and constructive service. We must have organized capital and organized brains. We see golden opportunities for the men who are willing to do things. We see over and above the pall of American prejudice the dawn of a new day. We see the course of international winds being deflected and the darker races whirling in their eddies. We see the whirling, seething brain pool of the American Negro beginning to turn out colossal and monumental work. Get out of the grooves of environment and break the bars of your economic prison. You men who are prepared to do real things. You men who spent hundreds of dollars to train your brain must give your hands a rest and experiment with the investment you have made. The brain pool of the American colored man is a reality. Observe the pregnant future as it dips over the horizon of this, a new day. To you Battle Scarred Veterans of many battles, men who have had neither education nor opportunity, but nevertheless have made good and developed your brains, and have created the brain pools for others to join, we salute you. We further charge that it is your duty, nevertheless, to pick up the straggling college men of our race who have lost their vision Remember that you made two blades of grass grow where one only grew before, and you can also, by encouragement and inspiration, make these men grow into the brain pool of the American Negro which you have created or else the race must fail. The Pawnbroker on State Street The Shylock of Shakespeare's verse was modestly content with his pound of flesh, but the Shylocks (pawn brokers) of State Street make Shakespeare's character green with envy to see how exhorbitant rates are charged and collected from humble and non-protesting dark-skinned Antonios, who feel the pinch of circumstance. The Illinois Revised Statutes, page 1738, specifically state that: It shall be unlawful for any pawnbroker to collect or charge on money advanced for use thereof, interest greater than 3 per cent per month. Yet those who have occasion to enter the Spider's Nest, whose sign is three glittering golden balls, allow themselves to be charged from 10 to 30 per cent per month. The surprising feature of the whole affair is that some victims know that they are being "held up" and yet refuse to complain. We have no sympathy for this type. But there are others who are ignorant of everything except "I need the money and Mr. Cohen says I have to pay six dollars next month for the five I borrow now," and the ticket verifies Mr. Cohen's sttaement. It is for the benefit of these defenseless citizens that this editorial is written. The grasp that our Jewish friends seem to have on the business of the community, and the hundred per cent patronage they receive from Colored People should not intoxicate them with the idea that they can use illegitimate "hold-up" methods to exploit the people of this vicinity. We admit that the pawn brokerage business has a place in the economic life of a community when legitimately operated. We claim that a very few of these South Side Shylocks will stand the close scrutiny test that should be applied to all business. When you enter a pawn shop to pledge an article, remember that you are entering into a legitimate transaction, also that three per cent (3%) is the legal rate of interest. When you attempt to redeem your pledge, if the pawnbroker refuses to accept 3 per cent, consult a lawyer. If you can't afford one, we will get one for you. Of all the civic evils affecting the economic vitals of people is the pawnbrokers' evil. The people in need of the pawnbrokers' aid are afraid to squeal when they are "squeezed," but we are not. We will, with the co-operation of the best citizens, drive these proprietors into the legitimate paths of commercial righteousness or drive them out of business. What Will Mr. Wilson Say? Everybody talking about the peace treaty and the League of Nations. We content to let Senator Borah and Lodge carry the case to the jury its merits, as far as we are concerned, and we believe that in the Court of congress a great day will soon be held. Our information and everybody else's information is practically notting as to wna has been and is going on in the diplomatic circles. The Shantung situaton is not understood by the body politic of American citizens. We do understand, however, that if Washington is the home and capital of democracy, and the Champion of Ideals, President Wilson, is now there in the White House and Race Riots cannot be quelled in three days that it is all wrong and "something is rotten in Denmark." A WORD FROM PRESIDENT WILSON OR MAYBE A "NOTE" WITHOUT ANY FOURTEEN POINTS AT THIS TIME WOULD BE FITTING and consonant with the idea that "the world must be made a decent place to live in." We are listening with strained ears for a word from our President. HE PROBABLY WILL NOT SPEAK OF IT, INASMUCH AS NEGROES HAPPENED TO BE MOBBED THIS TIME. WE REMEMBER THAT INSTANCE OF HIS FIRST AND ONLY UTTERANCE ON MOB VIOLENCE WAS THE PRAGUE CASE, PRAGUE HAPPENED TO BE A GERMAN. WE DO NOT THINK THAT THERE ARE ANY BLACK GERMANS IN WASHINGTON OR NEWPORT NEWS, BUT THERE ARE SOME BLACK AMERICANS WHO FOLLOWED THE FLAG INTO NO MAN'S LAND AND CAME BACK AND PAID WAR TAXES. THE WHIP THINKS WITH MARK ANTHONY: THAT JUDGMENT HAS FLOWN TO BRUTISH BEASTS AND MEN HAVE LOST THEIR REASON The Week's Best Editorial Brains, Not Bombs, Must Solve the Race Problem in Chicago When a Negro family moves into a block in which the rest of the residents are white, and some one sets off a bomb in the doorway, or beats one of the children, what is the result? A nasty job for the police, bitter feeling accentuated among both races, and the germs for many more race fights implanted, but NOTHING in the way of curing the situation. The race problem in Chicago, as everywhere, is a social problem, and YOU CANNOT REMOVE A SOCIAL SITUATION WITH DYNAMITE. The anger of the white residents of the block is natural because the presence of the Negro resident causes a localized real estate panic and a slump in home values. No one likes to lose the accumulations in his home. The Negro, however, is within his legal rights and from his viewpoint he is doing the meritorious thing of taking his family into a better housed neighborhood, nearer schools and transportation. No thinking No thinking person can seriously dispute the Negro father's RIGHT to house his family as best he can, and give his children "a better chance than he had." That is race progress. And bombs, beatings, baitings and neighborhood feuds will not help either side. "The course of human events" is not changed in that way. There are about 100,000 Negroes in Chicago, leaders of the race estimate. The labor opportunities made for the colored man in Editor the Whip, Sir: Your paper's first note is clear and forcible and your effort praiseworthy. cause it is a clew to the treatment but also to the prevention of rheumatism. Recent researches have shown that these bacteria do not cause rheumatism until they have grown in the body for a long time and the place where they grow is far removed from the site of the rheumatism and is in little abscesses usually around the root of the teeth and in the tonsils. When these bacteria have accumulated in large enough numbers they migrate to other parts of the body and it is then that rheumatism occurs, and the attack lasts a long time because these bacteria are constantly being sent out from these breeding places. Obviously, then, the logical way to prevent rheumatism is to prevent these abscesses in the teeth and tonsils and the best way to treat it is to remove them. Indeed, these are just what the modern doctor insists upon. Tonsils that constantly swell upon the slightest exposure should be removed because they are dangerous. The teeth should be examined and cleaned at regular intervals. People already with rheumatism should insist upon an examination of their teeth and tonsils in order to locate the possible focus of infection. Incidentally the bacteria from these abscesses may cause many other serious diseases than rheumatism, a common one among which is heart trouble. It is very frequently the case that rheumatism and heart trouble occur together. Chronic Rheumatism There is scarcely any other disease more commonly met with than rheumatism. Very rarely does an individual reach 35 years of age without experiencing an attack of pain which is diagnosed, more or less correctly, as rheumatism, the severity of which ranges from a short-lived attack of pain in some joint or limb to a constantly present ache which makes life itself all but pleasant. Strange to say, the thing we call rheumatism is very rarely rheumatism at all. Properly speaking, this disease is a chronic inflammation of the joints, although people are prone to call any pain which lasts a long time in their arms, legs, shoulders, or neck rheumatism, and they are often supported in their belief by their doctors because it is an easy diagnosis and one that is easily understood by the patient, two decided advantages to the doctor. But such a pain may not only be from an inflamed joint, which is true rheumatism, but it may be from inflamed muscles, which is called myositis, or it may be from an inflamed nerve which is called neuritis, from an inflamed bone which is osteomyelitis. However, whichever one of these fancy named diseases a given pain may be, it is important to know that they are all caused by the same thing, namely, the action of bacteria upon the diseased part. I say this fact is important, not only be I have taken special pain in scanning the lines, but not with a critic's impulse. I believe you are going to do a noble thing for our great city. Your stand seems to be quite dignified and your words gracious. Everything, in fact, about your paper bears the high mark of a journal with a great purpose whose plans have been carefully laid out. Indeed, your paper appears to be well projected, and behind which there seems to be able management. Success to you. M. A. Majors, M. D., Chicago, Ill. Business Briefs By H. David Murray Ethiopians everywhere, We must feel our brothers' care; And on business swelling tide, Show the world our racial pride; Interdeal whene'er we can, Help advance our fellowman; Other races play this game, And we, too, must do the same. The new sash curtains at 47th and State Streets are a marked improvement to the corner. If you would enjoy a larger patronage of race people, make a bid for it through the Whip. Consult H. David Murray, Advertising Manager. He will tell you how. the North during the war has caused a rush of Negroes from the South. Many of these are skilled, some of them have plantation ideas. They have earned wages, men, women and children, far in excess of what they got in the South, and have learned better ways of living. They cannot go back, they protest. That is not human nature. The Whip desires to see every race enterprise succeed, and stands out as an exponent of "Race Reciprocity." Let us get together at every turn of the road and make "Race Reciprocity" our byword. Negro leaders of education and business and economic judgment say that the Negro is here to stay. The 3,000,000 whites of Chicago therefore have a problem. The power that divided mankind into five races made this problem and gave it to the world to solve. The 100,000 Negroes in Chicago have as much responsibility for the solution of the problem as their white neighbors. It requires a human solution, not a racial one. It is a social, not a political question. Its solution must come from within, not from without. For some time this phase of the question has been in the minds of thinkers of both races in Chicago. In some of the cities of the South the situation is being worked out peacefully. Though the Almighty made the races separate and distinct, and intended them to remain so, He put them all on the same earth. The must be a plan by EDWARD which they can live on this earth as HELL. It must be that there is in the minds of the thinkers of both white and colored men in Chicago enough judgment, and foresight, tolerance, sympathy, justice and SOUND SENSE from which the plan can be evolved. Dr. W. J. Allen, of the Santa Fe keeps things humming over in his direction and everywhere he goes he carries the word and the effect of his activity is seen in every trip and through the correspondence received from time to time from the outlaying districts. Dr. Allen must be a real live wire, which is indicated by the sparkly in his eye. Let the THINKERS of both races GET TOGETHER, and solve this problem to the best interests of both whites and Negroes, of Chicago and human progress. CHICAGO AMERICAN.
