JIM CROW ORDINANCE BLOCKED State Troops Do Great Work—Both Work in Harmony— Situation Under Control Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro Garrity and Alcock Deserve State Troops Do Great Work—B Situation Under Special credit must be given the au- thorities, both civil and military, in the masterful way in which they handled the mobs during the five days of rioting, which held the city in its grip. It made no difference to them whether the face of the law breaker was white or black, they handled him in the way all criminals should be handled. They neither maltreated or brow-beat any one, unless more easy methods failed to subdue the disturber. It will never be known what some of the police had to contend with, before the soldiers were called out to render them assistance. Without sleep, food or even drinking water, these stalwarts stood on guard and drove back mobs, which dealt out death to many of them. Not once did they waver from their line of duty. Into the jaws of death they marched singly or in numbers to save some poor unfortunate who had fell into the hands of some infuriated mob. They faced death as the emerged victorious. There are many riot victims, white and black, who owe their lives to these fearless officers. It only goes to prove, despite criticism to the contrary, that the Chicago police, though inadequate in numbers, are always ready for any emergency. At the beginning of the riot Chief PROGRESSIVE REFUSE TO MEET WILSON—CALLS INVITATION "RUSE" PROGRESSIVE REFUSE TO MEET WILSON—CALLS INVITATION "RUSE" Fresno, Cal., Aug. 5.—(By Whip News Service.)—Chester H. Rowell, the leader of California Progressives, refused to meet President Wilson at the State line when he arrives here. Rowell is the campaign manager for Senator Hiram W. Johnson, from this State. Johnson is the biggest vote getter in the State of California. It will be remembered that the ignoring of the Progressive element in the Golden State, was the cause of the defeat of the Republican party in the last presidential election. Rowell characterized the invitation by the Democratic leader, Garvin McNab, as a "clever ruse" to have the Democrats lined up with the Progressives. DAMAGE SUITS TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST CITY BY RIOT VICTIMS Damage suits are under way by families of deceased victims of the late riots. According to a state law they are entitled to $5,000 damages, if it can be proven that the deceased were not implicated in any of the riot fights, as aggressors. The city of Chicago will be defendant for at least twelve of these cases. One or two have already been started by Attorney A. L. Williams of the Grievance Committee, for the Cook County Bar Association. The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY John J. Garrity, and First Deputy Alcock were on the scene in person and directed the action of their men. When the general riot call was sent in, the first since the Haymarket riot, the police were on their way to the riot center from all over the city. We deplore the fact that many brave officers lost their lives in the past riot and the wounds of others who fought to uphold the fair name of Chicago. The treatment of both white and black were the same. They never dired until they were fired upon; unless to rescue some poor, bruised, beaten victim. When the soldiers were put on the streets, Wednesday night, it was for the sole purpose of giving the overworked police some much-needed rest. The situation was well in hand when these sturdy citizen soldiers were called to relieve the tired patrolmen. Right here we will have to say that these same military men, who are of the higher type of whites, handled the situation from the time they were placed on the streets to the present time, in a capable manner. They scarcely both comm and black, in the riot zone, for WHENAS, we deplore anarchy, mob fire at home, giving no quarter to either race, stopped the congregating on street corners, and made every one move on. Since they started patrolling the streets little or no disturbances have been recorded. We take our hats off to both civil and military authorities, who put aside all racial prejudice (if any existed among them) and in an efficient way put an end to a disgraceful situation. Colored Americans Prohibited from Enlisting in Regular Army Washington, Aug. 8.—Instructions have been issued by the Adjutant General to stop enlistments for Colored infantry. Under the law only two regiments of infantry can be recruited for the Regular Army. The number of recruits required for two infantry regiments already has been exceeded. The excess will be removed within the next few months by discharge and furlough to the reserve of those entitled thereto. This order, it was explained, has no relation whatever to recent race riots, but was made necessary by the legal limitation upon the number of Colored infantrymen in the Regular Army. Halt Syracuse Riots; Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 3.—The Globe: Malleable Iron Works was the scene of a race riot. The riots were started by Poles and Italians, who were ousted, and race men put in their jobs. Both sides used clubs, stones and any other weapon that they could get. Revolvers were displayed, but very few were used. Prompt police interference prevented much shooting. Police are patrolling the colored section. Four white men were locked up and charged with rioting. Burglar Takes Bath and Shines Shoes in Barber Shop Fairmont, W. Va., Aug. 8.—The most fastidious burglar on record broke into the East Side barber shop here. Nothing was disturbed and nothing stolen, but the man took a bath, polished his shoes and passed on. George Stauber, white, who according to witnesses, threw the stone which set off the conflagration of race hatred, was put under bond of $50,000 by Judge Newcomer, of the South Clark street court. Stauber is 23 years old, and resides at 2904 Cottage Grove avenue. Detective Sergeant Middleton, colored, who gathered the evidence concerning the start of the riot, appeared against Stauber. Sergeant Middleton told the court that he could produce seven witnesses who saw the actual throwing of the rock, which knocked Eugene Williams off the raft causing his death. The case was continued until Aug. 14 to allow the police further investigation. Most of the prisoners who faced the judge were Negroes, but there were many whites. Many of the accused asked jury trials. Fines were imposed on the violators ranging from $10.00 to $200.00. Four white men, arraigned before Judge Gemil in the Englewood court, were fined for "getting fresh with the guard." Accord coming to witnesses they were in solent to militia men doing guard duty in the riot zone. An even number of both races were arraigned in the stockyards court charged with carrying concealed weapons or being disorderly. They were nearly all assessed $200,00 and costs under the Sadler law. Charles Switty and C. Smith, white, arraigned in the South Clark street court, demanded jury trials. They were ordered held under bonds of $5,000 each. Three colored youths, William Powell, Spurgeon Anthony, and John Washington, are held for the murder of George Wilkins. Ell and Anthony, in confessions, fasten the killing on Washington, but involve themselves. Their story is this: Wilkins went to the home of John Parker, 3825 Rhodes avenue, Wednesday, to collect some insurance. The three saw him enter, Powell went to Parker and asked him who Wilkins was. Parker told him, Powell said, "Let's kill him," and he and Anthony walked out to the curb and waited. Washington waited in an area way. As Wilkins came out of the house Washington shot him dead, they say. Lowery Expects Hanging "This is an absolutely cold blooded and unprovoked murder," said Assistant State's Attorney John M. Lowery, who obtained the confession. "I have no doubt that Washington will be hanged for it." White Men in Net Reports involving at least three white men in cases of murder and assault to murder were in the state's attorney's hands. These will be more thoroughly investigated during the day and arrests are expected by tonight. Edward Wilson, colored assistant state's attorney, obtained the information in these cases. He is especially detailed by State's Attorney Hoyne to investigate the complaints of colored citizens. "The reports in these cases are pretty clear," said Assistant State's Attorney Irwin Walker. "We expect to be able to get some convictions." Another Colored Man Lynched in Texas Gilmer, Tex., Aug. 8.—In continuance of the disregard of law and justice and the gross cowardice of the cracker element, who do not hesitate to congregate in hundreds and take one little colored man out and lynch him, Chilton Jennings was taken from jail here and hanged in the court yard by a mob of crackers, numbering 500 men. Golden Rule to Be Applied in Treatment of Colored Americans "Other Groups Came to America to Better Their Conditions We Brought the Negro Here to Better Ours," Says Leading White Chicago Clergyman Gen. Dickerson Says Negroes Did Not Start Stock Yards Fire The entire fire fighting apparatus of the city was called out Saturday, Aug. 2, when 49 homes of the foreign element were partially or completely damaged by fire, started from the torch of the I. W. W. According to Adjt. Gen. Dickson, I. W. W. plotters blacked their faces and applied the torch of the firebug in an effort to place the blame on the Negro residents of the black belt swept by riots all week. Increasing the panic and peril, telephone wires were cut, according to police reports, and terror stricken people, who were trying to send in fire alarms, were unable to get service. Many whites in the neighborhood claim they saw Negroes apply the torch which started the conflagration. These statements being sifted to the bottom were found to be groundless. Could Not Enter District. Gen. Dickson, by the Governor's pardy, also stated, he believed it would have been impossible for automobile loads of Negroes to escape from the South Side riot district; that they would have been halted by military sentries on guard not far away. Governor Lowden was inclined to accept the theory of First Deputy Alcock that Negroes were not to blame. The police official discussed the theory that refusal of the foreigners in the district to take sides with radical labor agitators may have been at the bottom of it. Golden Rule to B Treatment of Co "Other Groups Came to America We Brought the Negro H Leading White C Recent events in Chicago alarm and shock us, but at the same time move us to weigh our duty. Other people have come to our shores to better their condition; we brought the Negro here to better our condition. We cannot ignore our debt of gratitude for the part they played in the world war, as indispensable laborers, as courageous soldiers and as supporters in full of every aid undertaken at home. In the past we, in Chicago, made it necessary for them to live near the haunts of vice which we established. We have permitted gambling to flourish in their midst and we imposed upon them the vicious American saloon. At the same time we unjustly closed many fields of labor to them, causing the neediest to seek work among the demoralizing influences with which we surrounded them. Notwithstanding this our Negro citizens were law-abiding and gave us no trouble until for commercial purposes others were brought from the South in such great numbers that housing and other living conditions were inadequate, and as yet we have been unable to effect a readjustment. We are now gathering the fruit of our own sowing. The Negro hoodlums whom we created under the conditions named joined our white hoodlums, and they together planted the seeds of riot in the fertile soil of injustice which prejudice always imposes. While the recent riots have witnessed the most sickening brutality on the part of the Negro people, the whites have been no less cruel; in a great number of instances the stronger race has fallen ACTORS CHASED OFF STAGE BY MOB Glad to Reach 35th and State Ledman and McCree, not knowing there was trouble awaiting them, went on the stage to do their turn. The theater in which they were playing is on Halsted, in the center of a white settlement. As soon as they walked on the stage everything imaginable was hurled at them. They beat a hasty retreat to the stage door. Getting outside they found another mob awaiting them. They couldn't go forward nor backward. Just as one hoodlum reached for "Led," the bluecoats who were battling their way toward them, reached their side and held off the mob. The police commandeered a machine and brought them safely to Thirty-fifth and State Streets. Ledman said "The old corner looked sweeter to me that night than it ever did look." BIGAMIST SENTENCED TO TERM IN SING SING New York, Aug. 8. Judge a baker, of 243 Navy street, Brooklyn, was sentenced to serve from two to five years in Sing Sing following his plea of guilty in General Sessions yesterday. He was hailed to court on complaint of Mariam Eaton, of 25 West 135th street. She claimed Eaton married a second time last December to Carlotta A. Farnum, of 243 Navy street, by the Rev. E. Holder, in the Empire Friendly Shelter, 116 West 133d street. Be Applied in Colored Americans America to Better Their Conditions. Here to Better Ours," Says Chicago Clergyman upon the weaker with ferocity and without mercy and without cause. There is no higher or clearer statement of our duty toward our dark brothers than the rule laid down in a very ancient decision which has never been overruled—one which we usually refer to as the Golden Rule. Let us resolve, in view of the conditions obtaining within the last few days, to recognize our Negro neighbors as Americans who have always been loyal to America in the face of bad treatment; let us recognize them as fellow citizens entitled to share fully and equally the boasted opportunity of America; let us do this in a friendly spirit worthy of Christian and of Americans. In an emergency, such as the present, it is the manifest duty of the churches to bear emphatic testimony to the need of calmness, sanity and sympathy with all of both races who are oppressed by the iniquities of the present social order. The message of Christianity, as always in the past, is one of brotherhood and aspiration for good will and co-operation, which are the bases of the peace and welfare of every community. The efforts of all the people of all the churches are needed at this time to restore order and confidence and to make impossible the recurrence of the violence and lawlessness which are disgracing our city. THE CHICAGO CHURCH FEDERATION, Herbert L. Willett, President. Walter R. Mee, Secretary. Committee of citizens indorsing the above statement: Robert McMurdy, Mary McDowell, S. P. Breckenridge, Mrs. G. M. Mathes, Father Joseph McNamee, Graham Taylor and George H. Mead. Ald. Anderson Rebukes Moran, Who Introduced Jim Crow Measure in Council Alderman Moran, from the 31st ward, introduced a resolution providing for a commission to circumscribe separate zones for white and colored residents and in addition to consider separation in schools and all other public institutions. Heat Makes Aldermen Sluggish The sun was shining bright, augmented by warm currents from the south which raised the mercury to almost the last notch on the thermometer. This torridness seemed to have incapacitated most of the solons for effective work but not Louie Anderson. The weather seemed to inspire him as much as attempt to segregate his people appeared to enrage him. Anderson Gets Floor After several unsuccessful attempts, Anderson arrested the recognition of the chairman. He immediately ruled the resolution out of order, stating that it being a special session of the council that no business could be lawfully transacted except that specifically stated in with him. The Anderson who satisfied at merely enlightening Moran who, it is said, showed ignorance of the council rules, but rebuked him, saying: "Only two weeks ago today, when De Valeria, the president of Ireland, was City Will Lose Over Million Dollars on Account of Riot The city of Chicago will lose much in a financial way on account of the damage done, during the riots. Under the law it is responsible to the citizens, in the neighborhood, of $1,000,000 on account of loss of lives and damage to property. The following statistics will show the damage done to Chicago by the recent riots: Rioting lasted, days..... 5 Number of deaths (20 Negroes, 13 whites)..... 33 Injured (177 Negroes, 129 whites)..... 306 Fires (riot zone)..... 51 Fires (back of the yards, build- under law).....$1,000,000 Number of troops on duty 6,000 Number of police at times 2,200 Number of deputy sheriffs 500 Ex-slave Willing to Pay for Tobacco If City Care of Him St. Louis, special to The Whip). Albert Sidney Johnston, a slave and personal bodyguard of Gen. Albert Sydney Johnson, in the civil war, walked into the city hospital and said that he was too old to work and had only $8.00 to take care of himself with. He informed the authorities of the hospital, that if the city would take care of him, the $8.00 would pay for his tobacco for the rest of his life. When Johnson was asked how old he was, he replied that he was 38 when Buchanan camped for president. Buchanan was elected President in 1855. This would make Johnson about 100 years old. He appears to be about 100, though for his general weakness and failing eyesight, he is physically fit. He came to St. Louis about fifty years ago and worked around wealthy families. If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It CKED Rebukes Moran, ced Jim Crow in Council the guest of the city council, he made a speech telling of the hardships and excruciating agonies that the Irish people have and are now undergoing from English tyranny. I sat side by side with you and prayed for Ireland's emancipation. And who knows but that tomorrow this government may decide to take arms in defense of your Irish kin. My people whom you are trying to stigmatize with segregation would be the first to take arms for Ireland's defense. It's needless to say that John Bull, with all of his boasted strength, would rather face anybody else than the American negro on the battlefield. Addresses Other Aldermen With fire in his eyes Alderman Anderson, with a firmness not second to former Alderman De Priest, said, 'if I read correctly the international events of today, all who sit under the sound of my voice, relatives and racial ties in Europe who are struggling against great odds to break the fetters that you are trying to place upon the shoulders of my people in Chicago. You take my word you have undertaken a task more difficult than you think.' Surprises Constituents the militant stand taken by Ander. this city, an agreeable surprise necused of choosing late prograst resistance, but all factions and races comprising this district are complimenting his courage and efficiency. COLORED WOMAN CARRIES "SNOW" IN UMBRELLA Pittsburgh Woman Arrested for Carrying on Illicit Drug Business Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 8.—It did not look at all like rain when City Detective Frank Farris and James Noon, watching the cosmopolitan populace of the Hill flow by Wylie Avenue and Fulton streets, observed a colored woman with an umbrella, join the throng. "Hah," remarked Noon, "starting out on the route." They trailed her to the North side where they stopped her and invited her to the North side police station. In the station the matron searched her carefully, but found not even a suggestion of what the detectives were looking for. Farris had not thought much of the project from the first, and now he began to scoff at Noon. Whereupon Noon reached for the umbrella. He raised it and pushed it open. Five little packages fell to the floor. "Cocaine," he exclaimed. The woman registered as Babe Smith, of Hasco Street, Northside. “Whenever I see 'Babe' out with her umbrella on a clear day I know the sleigh bells are going to jingle,’ Noon explained. Policemen Accused of Being Afraid of "Hoodlums" Charges were filed yesterday with the police trial board against Police man John McNamara. McNamara, according to the charges, refused to go to the assistance of Ezreal Keller, 1010 North Oakley, and friends of the latter, when they were attacked July 13 by a band of alleged hoodlums at Narragansett and Grand avenue. Mrs. Blanche Letts, of New York, is visiting her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Newson, of W. 30th Street.

Soldier Reduced When He Refused to Be Segregated A detachment of the 807th Pioneer Infantry moved to Bourg (Haute- Marne), a motor reception park. Upon arrival at this station the commanding ‘officer of this regiment, Colonel Carey, ‘of Texas, was placed in command. Im- mediately an order was issued to the effect that Negro troops would use the Bath house on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday; white troops on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. A similar order was issuod for the barber shop. White troops, as well as colored troops, were not pleased with the order, fas they had not been used to such at other camps.

It would be suicide to at- tempt to get our copy to the presses, for they were in the heart of the white district, What were we to do? We did not want our competitors to beat us on the street. We knew that they too were in the same fix we were in, Finally the ‘editor asked, ‘who will take the eopy to the press??? | A silence fell over the few assembled there, Finally one man arose, all eyes were focused upon him, He spoke out. “Give me a driver and a high-powered ear and I will go to the press room, make up the paper and bring it back with me.’? This was all well and good, but now where could we find a driver who was fearless enough to undertake the risk of driving through a mob rid- den territory. Going down the streets many drivers were asked to make this perilous trip but they all refused. It looked ns if we would have to give it up. Just as we were about to return disappointed to the office, @ large touring ear drove up to the curb and halted. ‘The driver stepped out and we related our predicament to him, Turning to his ear he placed his foot on the running board. We thought that all hope was gone, when to our surprise and joy he exclaimed, ‘‘ Where's your man, tell him to hop in, I'll take him over there.’? On their way over they passed two mobs of whites. They were fired at three times, one bullet hitting the wind- shield, tearing it to splinters, one piece of flying glass cutting the chauffeur on the cheek, Still with head down, he drove on.

Chieago woke up to find a Negro population of 150,000, one- third of which was dumped into the city within the last two years, “Other disturbing forces causing race riots are race prejudice, the work of Bolsheviki agitators and economic ten- sion, Whether it is a new spirit born of the war or not, the Negro does not run, but stands and fights it out when at- tacked. “It is my personal conviction that the Republican party has betrayed us. Unless it again takes up its burden of defending the rights of humanity and standing by the black man, it will not soon again come into power.’? a .

RACE PROBLEM DISCUSSED AT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Education and Equal Economic Opportunity Held as Only Solution The meeting which was held, Monday afternoon, at Olivet Baptist Church, was well attended by men prominent in the affairs of the city. The following are some of their views: "The race problem of Chicago is one that can only be met by the coming to a common understanding by both white and colored people," said the Rev. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, the largest colored congregation in the city, and one of the acknowledged leaders among the negroes. "Putting laws on the statute books and drawing the color line officially will only intensify antagonism and make matters worse. Racial consciousness thereby will be only intensified among both the white and the colored races and the feeling of bitterness increase. "In other words, the negroes, if given the chance to do it, will flock to themselves naturally and instinctively just the same as the white people do. By the chance, I mean the opportunity to find good homes together and not be crowded into the slums of the city. The colored people are not seeking social contact with the whites. Very few, if any, of them want it. They want to live to themselves and will do it of their own accord if right circumstances are provided for them. "Negroes have scattered over Chicago in a large measure merely seeking places to make homes. Some white real estate dealers have largely been instrumental in encouraging them in this. Every one knows the colored people have never tried to break into white society, and when they are compelled to move into a white neighborhood, they make no attempt to fraternize with their neighbors. When they talk about 'equality' and 'being as good as the white man,' they mean merely that they feel they have the right to equality of opportunity and as good a chance to advance as any American citizen, regard less of color. Don't Want to Mix "There are instances, of course, of white and colored people 'mixing' up, especially, as we call it, but that is an individual matter. As a group, the colored people are much as white people. But they want the chance to have good homes and that is the main reason they have scattered. If the white people will work with them in giving them the opportunity to expand into good homes as good treatment for people in the way of police protection, elimination of vice and gambling, development of parks, etc., the colored people will naturally stay together and this policy of 'racial separateness' will work itself out spontaneously, naturally and for the good of all and without prejudice." "All we want is equality of opportunity," was the plea of Dr. G. R. Bryant, pastor of the South Park M. E. church. "We are American citizens and we feel we have the same rights as all others. We will naturally live together, have our own churches, clubs and societies, and do it voluntarily and with the utmost good feeling, if we have the chance to develop under the constructive influences and decent surroundings similar to those white people themselves want. As ministers and leaders we are urging this 'racial separateness' upon our people and encouraging them in the practice of it." Col. Denison Asks Good Will Col. Franklin L. Denison, former assistant attorney-general and former commander of the famous "old 8th" infantry, the colored regiment that distinguished itself in France, declared that discriminatory laws would be unconstitutional as well as unwise. "The constitution of Illinois does not permit any discrimination because of race or color," he said, "and it is far from the spirit of Illinois. Chicago has always been known as the most friendly city to the negro in the north. It can solve its race problem now. The riots do not express the real Chicago—they were hoodlumism broke loose among both races. Chicago will solve the real problem by mutual understanding and good will, and not by any weapons of force, either physical or legal." Theodore Roosevelt's Son to Become Chicago Citizen The third son of Colonel Roosevelt, will be associated with the Sinclair Oil Refining Corporation. Capt. Archie Roosevelt, who was wounded in action, in France, has been somewhat of an invalid since his return. His left arm, which was wounded by shrapnel, has been of very little use to him, for the past few months, but at present writing he has complete use of this member. The captain won promotion, and was also decorated with the French Cross of Wear for completeness bravery. WASHINGTON COLORED PEOPLE MEET TO CHECK CRIME Washington, Aug. 8.—Every effort to check the crime wave in Washington, in so far as colored criminals are implicated, is being made by the Parents' league, which, with its 20,000 members, constitutes the most powerful organization of colored people in the district. The Rev. Dr. James L. Pinn, one of the officers of the league, stated today that a mass meeting of the 20,000 members of the league will be held in and around the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal church tomorrow night to formulate plans whereby the crime wave can be best abated through co-operation. Dr. Pinn stated that police protection would not be asked for the meeting, inasmuch as the Parents' league will tolerate no incendiary speeches, and that the meeting will be orderly, and called only for the purpose of enlisting the aid of the best elements of colored people in the district to help check recurring assaults by colored criminals on white women. Will Jones, 3519 Wentworth Avenue, was overcome by the heat Monday, while unloading a coal car at West Thirty-third and South Canal Streets. Bar Association Takes Slap at Ex Lawyer B. F.

Police Laxity Is Blamed for Riots Gradual relaxation of police vigilance during the past six months is responsible for the storm of lawlessness and rioting that has just swept Chicago, according to Samuel P. Thrasher, superintendent of the committee of fifteen. Unofficial investigation of the circumstances of the disorders revealed the fact that eighty-five percent of the whites involved were young hoodlums between fifteen and eighteen, says Thrasher.

MC COO PREACHES WONDERFUL SERMON Flays Moseley-Blames Ministers The past Sunday dawned clear and bright. The Lord smiled upon the universe and the crowd which gathered at St. John's Church. The assemblage was so great, that before the beautiful opening exercises were completed, the large, spacious auditorium was filled to overflowing. For lack of space many disappointed people were turned away. The Reverend F. A. McCoo selected his text from the book of Isaiah 21-11-12 "Watchman, what of the Night?" The watchman said, "The morning cometh and the night also." Dr. McCoo's delivery was forceful and his discourse instructive. Among some of the points made clear, are the following: "The watchman was selected for the office, the minister of the gospel is the only true watchman and leader of the people; made so by the Holy Ghost who charged him to feed the flock over which he was made shepherd. In ancient times the Watchman had to possess a knowledge of the ground over which he had charge, and to be as the guardian of old, the minister of today, should know the gospel and his people. The watchman was asked, "What of the night?" His answer was, "The morning cometh and the night also." This goes to show that nothing is settled or permanent; and that changes may be expected. In the world there has been both a mixture of light and darkness, the same applies to the church. Leaders are required for all races, the negro is fast heeding the lesson of hearing their leaders, the query is frequently made of the leaders as to conditions, "What of the night?" The Edomites were not inevitably fixed. Edom would not be allowed a morning of opportunity; the only sure ground of hope was a turning to God. Like them, we have in this city and county, another opportunity, as individuals and people white and black. If we fail to turn to God and recognize his fatherhood and the brotherhood of man, the night is sure to overtake us. BLAMES MINISTERS The white preachers have been reluctantly preaching to their congregation that God created all men to dwell upon the face of the globe and that the color of his skin should have no intrinsic nerit. And he said further, "That a law should be made and enforced prohibiting the daily papers from printing anything to stir or increase the race hatred." In concluding his masterful, instructive sermon, this great divine took occasion to score Beanegard Moseley, the disbarred colored lawyer and boarding house keeper, whom it is alleged made a few scattered remarks, saying "This is the white folks' country." "Moseley claimed more for the white man than did the white man himself." He had a son who faced shot and shell, suffered excruciating agony. He believed, "When a man fought for the common defense he was entitled to uncircumscribed citizenship." FORMER TEXAS PHYSICIAN MAK ING GOOD IN CHICAGO Office with Dr. Majors Dr. Benjamin R. Bluitt, who for the past thirty-one years has been a prominent practicing physician in Dallas, Tex., is now a permanent fixture in both the professional and social life of Chicago. Although Dr. Bluitt has been in Chicago less than a year, he is enjoying a practice which leads one to believe that his splendid reputation as a physician and surgeon had preceded him to the Garden City, and that only his pres ar dy is DR. BENJAMIN R. BLUITT ence was needed in order to prove that such was the case. About a year ago Dr. Bluitt purchased a palatial residence at 3162 Lake Park avenue, overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan, which is regarded as one of the finest homes on the South Side. The doctor's finely appointed office of three roms is located at 4700 State St., with Dr. M. A. Majors, also formerly of the Lone Star State. Dr. Bluitt is very much pleased with the hospitality of Chicago and richly enjoys the busy life, that his new field of labor has brought to him. The doctor's most treasured possession aside from his adorable companion and family is his beautiful little town car a Chevrolet coupe being his preference; in which he can be seen early and late going to and fro on errands of mercy. The Whip wishes and predicts for this valuable addition to Chicago's medical profession great success. TRIAL AT ROCKFORD IN FULL SWING Rockford, Ill., Aug. 8.—The much heralded trial of the fourteen colored men charged with attacking a white woman was resumed Monday, August 4. The trial was temporarily halted for two weeks after one of the defendants, Garfield Walker, had pleaded insanity. After having gone through a thorough test by expert psychological examiners, who are appointed by President Wilson, he was pronounced normal. The evidence already submitted has shown that the woman in question had no authority to have been in the bounds of the camp at the time the crime was supposed to have been committed. Colonel Charles Young, ranking colored officer, is sitting as presiding judge, and we cannot believe that anything but justice will be dealt out to these men. Colonel Young has always been fair and impartial and we expect him to render a verdict that will be in keeping with his past record. --- New York Judge Reverses Lower Court's Decision Upon Appeal of Attorney John Smith, Scores Detective Kutner's Action in Arresting Charles Blackman—"Cases as These Tend to Create Race Hatred," Says the Judge New York, July 30.—In handing down a decision in the case of Charles Blackman and Detective Harry Kutner, Judge McIntyre in General Sessions today stated that just such cases as these tend to create race hatred. An appeal was taken from a decision given by Magistrate Mancuso in the Heights police court when Blackman was fined $10 after he had been arrested by Detective Harry Kutner, of the Inspection District, who entered an apartment to which Blackman had escorted a lady of his acquaintance after they had been out together the early part of the evening. The detective entered the apartment and arrested Blackman and 100,000 MEN IN UNIFORM ENTERTAINED BY ONLY COLORED MOTOR CORPS IN THE WORLD (Special to The Whip.) New York, Aug. 6, 1919.-The only colored women's motor corps in the world is that of the Hayward Unit, a branch of the National League for Women's Service in New York City. If you can imagine the feeling of a man in the desert, coming unexpectedly upon an oasis, you will appreciate the surprise and joy of colored soldiers, lying wounded in New York hospitals, at sight of women of their own race to comfort and cheer them as they had so often seen their white brothers visited by other members of the League. While the work of the Hayward Unit may not be as extensive or as far-reaching as that of other departments, in point of personal service and results accomplished it is excelled by none. "Lonesome Louisiana," lying on a cot in the big ward at Debarkation Hospital No. 3, brightens visibly at the approach of Sergeant Pearl Murray, and when she mentions that "some of the boys are going up to see a ball game this afternoon," and asks him to join the party, his exclamation of pleasure sounds as though he had forgotten all about being sick. There is no reason why a colored boy should feel lonely or neglected in New York. And judging by the number who have been entertained by the motor corps, there exists only satisfaction and happy memories for the colored convalescent when he leaves for his home town. Of the hundred thousand men welcomed by the Hayward Unit, the majority are natives of Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee. Forty members of the motor corps devote a large part of their time to the soldiers. With Captain Sadie Leavelle directing, Lt. Mae Kemp, Sergeants Murray and Anna Reid head the organization. Three ambulances, two busses and a dozen cars owned by members are used in the transportation service. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, a member of the Those in Need Taken Care of in Riot Zone Food and Clothing Given to the Sufferers Many relief committees have been formed by the business men of the Black Belt. They are rendering invaluable aid to destitute families. Money has been spent by most of them without asking the assistance of anyone. Food and clothing were bought in wholesale lots, and the needy sought out and fed and clothed. Families who were made homeless by the firebug, were given shelter. The sick were given special medical aid. Since these committees were formed much money has been donated by the better classes of white people. Along with these organizations, the Red Cross has established relief stations. The foodstuff given out by the Red Cross has been furnished by business men and other interested citizens, chiefly from among the packers, who are the largest employers of colored labor. A delegation which called on the Mayor asking him to help them to get back to their jobs, were informed by his secretary, that the police are doing their utmost, and using every measure toward making the avenue from the black belt to the stockyards safe for colored men. Reverses Court's Decision John Smith, Scores Detective Kut- Charles Blackman—"Cases as ce Hatred," Says the Judge his companion alleging that the woman was white. Blackman protested at the unwarranted entry of the detective and was arrested. It was stated before Magistrate Mancuso that the woman was colored and no evidence was produced to the contrary. Nevertheless the magistrate fined Blackman $10. Blackman's attorney, John Smith, appealed the case and after examining the testimony, Judge McIntyre, before whom the appeal was heard reversed the decision. An examination of the testimony disclosed that the detective acted unwarrantedly and there was no any upon which Blackman could have been fined; hence, the reversal of Magistrate Mancuso's decision. National League, donated three motors for the use of the Hayward Unit. Every day the trim khaki colored ambulances may be seen standing in front of hospital entrances, ready for a load of convalescents to be taken to the races at Sheepshead or Jamaica, to a baseball game at the Polo Grounds, or on a "seeing New York tour." Chinatown, the Ghetto, Wall Street, Riverside Drive, and Coney Island are interesting sights for the boy who has never before crossed the Mason and Dixon Line. The Hayward Unit maintains headquarters at No. 200 West 139th Street. Comfortable rest rooms for reading, writing and relaxation are provided, and a fine piano, player piano, and victrola are placed at the disposal of visiting soldiers. The activities of the motor corps are not confined to military operations, however. Civilian hospitals, orphanges and Old Folks' homes come in for their just share of relief work. Old men and women, friendless and dispirited, are gladdened by a motor ride to and from church on Sundays. The Lincoln Home for Old Folks (colored) sends many to church through the efforts of the League. Four thousand orphans were recently entertained at an amusement park near the city; their day including the free distribution of ice cream, candy and cakes. The motor corps has proven its worth. Captain Leavelle is rewarded by the ability to look backward on the work done thus far and face the future saying, "The Hayward Unit, in brightening the path of the sick and unfortunate is attaining the utmost in personal service."

CRITICISM (S ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO Pyaic MORAL ano Punuc Taste ‘Good or bad, fad or institution, Jazz was bor in Chicago, developed in New Orleans, exploited in New York and glorified in Paris, So writes one of the many authorities who have recently delved into this latest manifestation of American music that has conquered a place in the western world. Howard Brockway, the American composer, at- ‘tempts to expla. , in the N. Y, Review, ‘the characteristics and origin of Jazz, [but ite origin till remains obscure, ‘Chicago claims it, and, aeeording to E. -M. King, Chieago still holds the strong: ‘est title. But Jaza, claims Mr. Broek- way, though it is new to us in the United ‘States and through us to both England and France, is not absolutely new to the world. He attempts an analysis of this newest musical phenomenon: ‘*Just what is Jazz? In striving to answer this query, I can not hope to imitate the admirable brevity of the word, Jaze is ordered and calculated noise, It isa compound of qualities, both rhythmic and melodie. It seeks, and with absolute success be it said, to weep from our mihds all simultaneous consideration of other things, and to focus our attention upon its own mad, whirling, involved self. Herein lies a large part of 1° compelling foree and appeal. It mw / well be that General Gouraud cou? find the hideous load of responsibility lightened, perhaps even put aside for the moment, as he listened ‘to Europe’s jaarilng, and that he felt his pulse responding to the virile rhythm, ‘and his emotions joining in the rush of the humorous care-free mood. Certain it is that our dough-boys, fresh from the ‘trenches, with days and weeks of grim endeavor and physieal strain behind thém, turned to the Jazz furnished by their bands and found in it relaxation and solace and cheer which enabled Ses hn Peles’ kee dias:-eet ani te abanden themselves wholeheartedly to the joyous hilarity of the present mo rBPhere in not the slighted doubt that in this maclsteom of rhythm there abides n powerful tonic effeet. Through the SONG COST $22,000 Ziegfeld Spends Fortune to Make ‘Tulip Time” Biz Hit | When F, Ziegticld, Jr., possesses the slightest confidence in the possibility of « song hit, he will not permit an item of several thousand dollars to stand in the way of success, For instance, the producer invested $22,000 in the “Tulip Time’? number in the current ‘*Ziegtield Follies.’’ It required seventy-two young ladies to present the number, and the tost of each costume was $175.00, The invoice for seventy-two pairs of shoes amounted to $720.00, The urban scenery and the big mill represent an investment that would almost be suffi cient to Iaunch an ordinary musical comedy. The salaries of the eight kid dies that appear in the number amounts to $160.00 weekly. from Complication of Diseases Noted Impresario Succumbs to Compt addpa lef Diseases New York, Aug. 1—Oncar Hammer- stein, theater builder and producer of grand opera, died in a hospital here to- night of a complication of diseases after an illness of several days.

Is a white rowdy or vicious cut-throat any better than a black one? Are not the industrious white and colored workers' interests identical?

In witness hereto, we affix our signatures and the seal of our organization. rekindle the fires of race prejudice that this city will again become the scene of riot, violence and bloodshed the like of which has never been known in the history of our country. The colored people of this city are in no humor at this time to have so-called leaders of our race discussing any matter of segregation. The question of racial segregation is a delicate matter, and if it is proposed to bring it about by mutual agreement between so-called leaders of the two races, we may expect to see a renewal of the present feud at no distant day. Some three hundred thousand black men have just returned from the battle fields of Europe where they have been fighting on foreign soil for world Democracy. They were told that democracy means equality of opportunity for all men without regard to race or color, and that equality of opportunity and racial segregation cannot stand together in any free republic. This idea, together with grievances due to feelings of unjust treatment which persist, has become so deeply rooted in the people of my race that they will refuse to recognize any so-called mutual agreement to be segregated. And the will refuse to accept any status or treatment differing from that accord any other race groups living together under the Stars and Stripes. In my opinion, the fundamental cause of the present race riot is color prejudice. And I believe that the publicity by certain newspapers and organizations given the matter of housing and segregation of colored people has contributed more to the causes of color prejudice than all other elements combined. If the mere proposal of segregation be the cause of the evil, how could segregation in fact be the cure of it? This would be like giving a sick man poison in hope of making him well. And so, I believe that the paramount duty of every good citizen in this crisis is to co-operate with the constituted authorities of city, county and State in putting down of lawlessness and mob violence for all time to come, and in making Chicago a safe place for whites and blacks to live and work together. And if these matters which tend to fan the fires of color prejudice be forgotten, the people of this community will be able to live peacefully together for all time to come.

Down in Mississippi, Alabama and many other Southern states, some of the people who have abused the Negro #0 long having had and held them in subjection so many years have realized that a colored man or woman would fake advantage of an opportunity to “@arn more and live happier. Now they fare trying in every way possible to in- duce them to return. Some say that southern propaganda was boldly in ef- fect and part of the cause of the recent riot in our city. At 45th and State Sts. a Jew and a Negro have established an agency for some southern interest that is trying to coax colored people to return to the South. A young colored man employed in one of the industries in the city took advantage of some of the offers that were made him and secured a leave of absenee, returned to Alabama and was compelled to work 10 hours a day to earn enough money to enable him to return to Chicago.

Jack White, ex-champion, colored lightweight of the world, arrived in town Saturday morning. White is under the management of James J. Ferribee. He was to meet Charley Metric, of Milwaukee, in Gary, Ind. The bout was called off on account of present racial disturbances. Jack issues a challenge to all battlers who fight at the weight of 135 pounds. He will lay a side bet for $500 or more. White is being trained by Jack Hardy. Mays to Be Suspended for Remainder of Season Washington, Aug. 8.—President Ban Johnson of the American League announced on his arrival here from Chicago that the suspension of Carl Mays, the pitcher recently purchased by the New York Americans from the Boston Red Sox, would remain in force for the remaind r of the season unless "evidence of extenuation circumstances was produced." Mays was suspended, Johnson said, because of the failure of the Boston club to punish him for "a most flagrant breach of discipline." Bob Roper, heavyweight fighter, who has just returned from Mexico City, where he recently boxed an exhibition bout with Jack Johnson. Roper says that Jack is in perfect physical condition, but he is in financial straits. Mr. Roper did not know, officially, whether Johnson has been ordered out of Mexico.

Denies Troops A Responsible Colonel Snyden, Commander of lians Fired Upon Soldiers in Auto Denies Troops Are Responsible for Bisbee Riot Colonel Snyden, Commander of 10th Cavalry, Says That Civilians Fired Upon Soldiers Who Were Riding in Automobile New York, Aug. 8.—A denial that troopers of the 10th Cavalry started a riot in Bisbee, Ariz., on July 3, has been sent by Lieut. Col. F. S. Snyder, commanding the regiment. Colonel Snyder wrote that, after full investigation, he had concluded that local officials had planned deliberately to aggravate the troopers so that they would furnish an excuse to police and deputy sheriffs to shoot them down. He charges that members of the I. W. W. had influence in this plot. civilians made at least four unprovoked assaults on individual troopers, attempted to kill mine by shooting, and robbed one. Several affidavits are cited, one charging that a Mexican woman was shot by a civilian and not by a trooper. There was a deliberate effort to "hunt down the troopers" and kill them. Colonel Snyder charges. The members of the 10th Cavalry had been invited to Bisbee to take part in the Fourth of July celebration. According to Colonel Snyder's account the troopers did take a pistol away from a provost guard of the 19th Infantry after he had taken a pistol away from a trooper without cause. He says the troopers were culpable in this instance, but in no other. In the confusion that followed, the account says, the civilian officials "them started to take pistols away from the cavalrymen and to assault and 'shoot-up' the soldiers as soon as they disarmed them." The account says that the soldiers gave up their weapons without firing a shot. Colonel Snyder declared that the civilians fired upon soldiers who were riding in automobiles and wounded some of them. He says that affidavits show that 203 Jack Johnson in Perfect A number of fight experts will never be reconciled to the fact that the Willard-Johnson fight was a frame-up. Here is what one white writer has to tell: How far had Johnson declined when he met Willard? Here is the statement from one of the men who helped to train Johnson for both the Jeffries and Moran fights. He handed us the information at Toledo. "I was with Johnson in Paris when he trained to meet Frank Moran. I'll say for him here that he got into shape for that fight. He worked hard, got down to 207 pounds and never looked NY jok tw hav Wa bus rep tar ref the better. He knew Moran was a tough boy to beat, so he took no chances.

If that fight had lasted two rounds longer Frank Moran would have been champion of the world. ‘After the fight I went back into Johnson’s dressing room. ‘Well, I said, ‘I guess you know where you stand now?’ ‘I know well enough,’ replied Johnson, ‘the next man I meet will be champion of the world if he can fight half a lick. And he won't have to be very good.’ ‘I went to Havana to see Willard meet Johnson and found Johnson in terrible shape. He weighed over 235 pounds, and after sparring a proved again that he was in far worse shape than he had ever been before. He admitted to me that his only chance was to knock out Willard in seven or eight rounds. 'After that,' he said. 'I'll be a joke.' The marvel is that he lasted twenty-six rounds.

Growing Friction Between the Races Is Reported as a Result of the War (From Current Opinion for August) "The Habit of Torture" and "Protecting Southern Womanhood" are the titles of recent articles written, respectively, by Prof. Edward Raymond Turner, of the University of Michigan, and by Herbert J. Seligmann for the New York Nation. They raise the entire negro question in its most sensational aspects and indicate that relations between the races are getting worse rather than better. Professor Turner's method is historical. With a broad sweep and a grasp of detail that at times is gruesome he traces the history of torture throughout the ages, culminating in our Southern lynchings. Mr. Seligmann confines himself to contemporary events, which he treats in a spirit of indignation tinged with irony. He tries to show that passion is aroused over mob murders not because they are committed in defense of Southern womanhood, but because the entire relaunay. Daily life for them is almost intolerable. Negroes are subject to every insult* and abuse, not to mention Jim Crowism, and they have too much experience of the courts to rely on them. It is not surprising that they have purchased arms in a number of Southern cities with the intention of defending their lives and the lives of their families if conflict is provoked. A disastrous race riot was narrowly averted in Memphis, Tennessee, on the nights of Friday and Saturday, May 23 and 24. Says the Commercial Appeal of May 27: "There was a powder train all over Memphis Saturday. That there was no explosion was due to sheer luck. * * * Somehow we have drifted into a tense racial relation. It is nobody's fault and yet it is everyone's fault." Open threats of attack had been made by white men, to avenge the death of a street-car conductor. The mayor and city officials in conference were informed that the negroes of Memphis had arms and ammunition and proposed to use them in self-defense. Police and sheriff's deputies were posted, and what might have become a bloody race conflict was averted. With every lynching, the danger of such a conflict increases. Convince men that they have no stake in society and the courts, and no refuge in an enlightened public sentiment; insult, injure, and degrade them without redress and you create the desperation out of which springs violence." Many influential Southerners see the danger that Mr. Seligmann points out. Many of the best Southern newspapers are trying to create strong sentiment against lynching. Many Southern employers have worried over the exodus of negroes to the North. But the Kuklux have begun to ride again. On a single morning, recently, they burned in Putnam County, Georgia, five negro churches, two schools and a lodge hall.

At a recent convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in Cleveland, Ohio, speaker after speaker arose to tell of persecutions and barbarism, of denial of justice in the courts, of contract systems and terms of employment for negroes, amounting virtually to slavery. White and black, bishop and commoner, army officer and minister of the gospel have contributed to the depressing mass of testimony, until the impression was conveyed that, as Bishop John Hurst said: "Negro slavery was abolished over fifty years ago and yet today there is worse than negro slavery in the South." At the same conference, a former officer of the United States Army, Major J. E. Spingarn, assailed the treatment of negroes in the army to which they were called to die in behalf of democracy and freedom. He had found that having gone abroad to fight a foe that was accused of having "burned and robbed and dishonored," he had left behind him "a foe that commits even more despicable outrages." "When you read of Valor, Ga," said Major Spingarn, "where a about to become a mother was ripped open; when you read of Dyersburg, Tenn., where a man stood and had burning gimlets gouge out his eyes and his body; when you say that a duty calls you today to right wrongs, by God, they call you twice as strongly here." The moral that this officer drew was as follows: There are three ways for negroes in this country to meet the intolerable conditions which are forced on millions of their race. The first is gun in hand. But that is always a bad argument. Then there is the ballot. But the ballot is denied negroes in those parts of the country where they most need it. The third answer to terrorism, despotism and subjection is the economic strike, "the weapon that all the oppressed workers have learned to use, and to use well on occasion." “If you want to accomplish freedom,” said Major Spingarn, “you will never succeed until first you have marshaled all the 3,000,000 black men so that they Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois writes in the Crisis that the negroes are coming back fighting for their rights and that they will continue to battle for them. He and others exult that there are now 100,000 black Americans trained to arms. The new Kuklux, they say, will not find the negroes cowed as were the freedmen of 1865-70; they will find men ready to die for their liberties. “This is the counsel of madness,” says the Nation; “it leads nowhere but to bloodshed without result.” Yet the editorial in which the Nation makes this comment is entitled “The Negro at Bay.” The same editorial intimates that Bolshe vism already has its negro spokesmen, and prophesies that "extremists, anarchists, preachers of sabotage and violence of every type will find many recruits if the negroes' just grievances are not immediately put in process of removal." A little more of such presentation of the race situation, exclaims William Marion Reedy in the St. Louis Mirror, may precipitate what everyone would avert; but that, he goes on to say, is only one side of it. The other side is that it is folly to dodge facts, to bide truth. Mr. Reedy comments further: "The problem can only be solved by facing it understandingly. It is not in soluble, either. It can be solved by asuring the black man of his rights and confirming him in them—even as the way to meet the menace of Bolshevism is to redress the just grievances of the oppressed and exploited white workingmen Lynching will not settle the race question, as espionage acts, deportations, suppression of public meetings, will not settle the question of the white workers' right to work under decent conditions. "There is no question of social equality of races. If such a thing can ever possibly be, it must be won by the presently inferior race through activities other than armed rebellion. It can only can wield the ballot, and all the 2,000,000 workmen of the South so they will strike and stop working the minute the word is given.

He tells us that in casual conversations in Mississippi Delta cities the following stimulants to mob murder were cited to him: 1. The nation-wide campaign for equal rights for negroes. This is specifically referred to in the editorial of the Vicksburg Weekly Herald of May 16. 2. Induction of negroes into the United States army, 'putting them on an equality with white men.' Cheap politicians, of whom Senator Vardaman is typical, refer to 'French-women-ruined negro soldiers,' using every resource of this kind to foment race hatred, which is their chief stock in trade. 3. Survival of the fear of negro domination inherited from carpet-bagger days. 4. The economic motive in all its variants, based upon the determination to deny the negro his rights, to 'keep the nigger in his place.' 5. The sport in torture: Page 1 of the Vicksburg Evening Post, recording the murder of Clay, had this passage: 'Have you had enough fun, boys?' a leader asked. 'Yes, cut him down.' Unfortunately, Mr. Seligmann proceeds, racial animosity is exhibited not only in lynchings. Race riots are constantly threatened. "Not one negro to whom I spoke in the Delta region but wished to get come through moral development. But the nation must in honor assure the negro other things. It must see that he is given justice in the courts. Denial of justice must not be continued to help out the economic exploitation of the negro. He must not be tricked out of his pay for his labor. He should have the vote, with whatever honestly applied qualifications may be devised. All that is required is that the negro be recognized as a human being with the same legal rights as a white human being and no more. Such treatment supplemented, of course, by education, will eventually generate in the negro that self-respect which will enable him to rule himself and thus command the respect of others.

In as much as the white man can think intelligently, “he has not yet understood the Negro. He has not been intelligently ap- ‘proached, Paul said: “Come, let us reason together.” The pseudo leaders of our Negroes have gone behind closed doors with the white man and with hat in hand and leering lips whisper “Yassah, Boss” have ‘sold us out, False leaders have compromisingly misrepresented that de- sire of the esprit de corp. They have said that the Negro only wants cquality of opportunity and desired nothing else. This is cowardly and hypocritical, The Negro wants everything that is ineluded in the sum ‘total of Americanism. They have said the Negro wants segregation. |‘This is a lie, The Negro does not want compulsory segregation because |in its peculiar nature it stigmatizes him as an inferior and causes him |to become a social leper. | ‘They sell the race for political jobs and claim that the party so favoring them is willing to give the Negro a square deal. Then, when because of these misuinderstandings frictions arise, they elaim the Negro must be content with his half of loaf and vociferate assininely that this is a white man’s country, They claim they stand for justice and fair ‘play: and they claim that they are afraid of the Negroes who pro- ‘tected their homes from Hoodlums. | ‘The time is now ripe for these Old Black Joe's and Uncle Toms to |go to Mississippi and ally themselves with the cohorts of lynchland. It ‘is time that they become African Ball dodgers, because from our hearts we have banished them. | ‘The Negro demands new leadership. Calm, intelligent, unswerving eaders, God, give us Men. Men that are saturated with the true ideal ‘of life and liberty. Men that love their race and country and know no ‘superior. Men that are rooted and grounded in truth, love and service. The eyes of the world are upon the Negro, and the new psychology. The new Negro, the younger generation imbued with the idea of the new freedom that Woodrow Wilson writes of, is the class that we look for to lead us out of this present pandemonium, "HE NEGRO THEREFORE MUST LOOK TO THESE 4,OUNG EDUCATED STUDENTS OF HUMAN AFFAIRS. THESE NEW INTELLECTUAL GIANTS.’ THE MEN WHO FEEL NO STIGMA OF SLAVERY OR KNOW NOT THE METH- ODS OF COMPROMISING THEIR ISSUES, OUR HOPES ARE ‘upon THEM. LET US CLEAR! CLEAR THE WAY! BY PUSH- ING THE UNCLE TOMS AND OLD BLACK JOES INTO OBLIVION, ei ae ee ee ee) eT ee AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT SPORADIC OUTBREAK, Governor Lowden has announced his intention of appointing a commit- tee of white and colored citizens whose function is to fix and define what territory shall be occupied by whites apart from colored citizens and vice versa and that methods of racial separation in the public schools, parks, bathing beaches, and all places of public entertainment will be considered with the avowed intention of reaching an agreement for segregation. The penalty for any one of either race who disregards the agree- metn according to the Governor is social ostracism. WITHOUT DEBATE OF ANY KIND WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE COMMISSION, FIRST BECAUSE, IT IS NOT THE PRODUCT OF SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH NOR SYMPA- THETIC SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION, BUT THE RESULT OF A HASTY CONCLUSION GROWING EITHER OUT OF A DESIRE TO TRANSFER RESPONSIBILITY OR IGNORANCE OF THE PROPER INSTRUMENTALITIES TO USE IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER PERMANENT CONDITION, OR BOTH. THE WHIP IS FURTHERMORE OPPOSED to the commission because it means segregation, and we are uncompromisingly against seg- regation of any sort. Any Negro that asserts that he is for separation or Segregation on account of color cannot be trusted by either race. He is a traitor and a thief. Under strenuous conditions he would not hesitate to play the role of Benedict Arnold. The Whip is opposed to separation or segregation, first because it is unconstitutional ; and it does not believe in violating the organic law of the government. SECONDLY, NO SENSIBLE WHITE MAN WANTS IT, OR WOULD STAND FOR IT. IF THE COMMISSION DID REACH AN AGREEMENT AND. DEFINE CERTAIN LINES, THE WHITE MAN WOULD BE THE FIRST TO BREAK THE RULE. THIS FACT IS TOO OB- VIOUS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. We are against segrega- tion because it has been tried and found wanting in Memphis, East St. Louis, Springfield and other large cities. It does not affect a cure for the existing social evils, in fact it creates animosity, puts a stigma of primitive savagery upon both races. It is a sociological page’ “Wut defeats the purpose for which it is intended making gg a cies conscious that they look upon eactNother with-Prejugien tired and con - tennit—_We further-register our-disapp’toval against this evasive com- promising evil, because we would not be able to know when or how to draw the line. The races are so amalgamated that it would take enough geniticians to bankrupt the city in trying to ascertain who was white | and who was colored. It is alleged, that during the recent riots, several colored men were fired upon for white men and vice versa. | THE NEGRO HAS NO COLOR PREJUDICE, BUT HE IS. MILITANTLY PREJUDICED AGAINST ANY CONDITION THAT TENDS TO PUT A STAMP OF INFERIORITY UPON HIM OR OBSTRUCT HIS DEVELOPMENT AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. It is just as foolish to try to segregate blacks and whites who engage in a riot as it would be to separate the Jews and the Poles who fought in the parks on the West Side, or the Americans and the English who fought in the Revolutionary War. LEST WE FORGET, the Negro is the most loyal and dependable American today, not because of fear, but because he loves his country ; he loves peace and tranquillity. During the recent European War when the German propaganda was shaking the foundations of the Capitol, and the nation’s fate was hanging in the balance, the Negro was the only American that could be depended upon to guard the Capitol and the President. When we scrutinize the international crises, we can see that the time is not far distant when his services will be needed again. OF COURSE, HE WILL GIVE THEM, BUT IF HE HAS TO NIP THE BITTER BUD OF WAR, HE IS ENTITLED TO THE SAC- CHARINE FROM THE FLOWER OF PEACE; AND HE WHO WOULD ATTEMPT TO DENY HIM OF THIS, UNDERTAKES A PROPOSITION MORE GIGANTIC THAN KAISER WILHELM OF GERMANY, WHO TRIED TO SUBDUE THE WORLD. We need no commission ; we need no new law ; but what we do need is an executive that has the backbone to enforce the laws already made. We want men in public office that are color and class blind. We want men whose hearts are saturated with, and whose acts will subscribe to the principles of the fathers of this great land, “that all men are created free and equal.” We want men who will not put political expediency: above human lives. Until the white race, as well as the black race, is capable of producing men of this type, we will have riots, massacres and every other damnable condition that makes the country an unhappy place in which to live. The Negro needs no investigation ; he needs education and a chance to develop. He needs nothing more and will accept nothing less. White of brain will assist him in securing the same. eet af Elnale Tao A Sickening Sight At the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., 3333 South State, the office of Mr. Travis, Olivet Baptist Church, 31st and State Street, the Urban League, 31st and Wabash and several other places on the South Side, there are to be seen at each place thousands of Colored people with baskets, awaiting their turn in the bread line. This is the first time in the history of America that Colored people have been CONSPICUOUS PATRONS OF CHARITY. THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE THE ONES WHO WORKED AT THE UNION STOCKYARDS DURING THE WAR AND FED THE ALLIED ARMIES. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THEM, THE CAUSE FOR WHICH IT IS SAID THIS COUNTRY FOUGHT WOULD BE TRAILING IN THE DUST OF DIS- GRACEFUL DEFEAT, AND WE WOULD BE UNDER THE IRON HEELS OF THE WAR LORDS OF PRUSSIA. Not only this, they proudly gave their sons to a Jim Crow Army, to build roads and gave their lives to save the lives of white men, in order to bring to a successful end a War that they had had no hand in starting. THE NEGRO DID NOT START THIS RIOT. He had no ulte- rior political motives in its furtherance. If he had, the results would have been different. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS BREAD LINE.. How long will the authorities be drugged by the protest of aliens, who challenge their power to put American citizens to work. How long will it be be- fore the white American learns who his best friend is? Shall these aliens cause a rupture between American citizens that may end in the loss of thousands of lives by sickness and disease, which is sure to result from this unjust chaotic condition? Disease knows no race or color, It has no regard for civic or geographic divisions. Once in the air, germs will viciously attack white and black alike. SHALL THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF ILLINOIS, the state of Lincoln and Lovejoy, shall the great commonwealth of America stand for this disgracelul state of affairs, which is worse than war itself? We are of the opinion that they will not. We rather think it is an act of omission, but whatever it is, it must cease. Now!!! Tt cannot be said that the Negro has not made Good in every in- stance. Under equal conditions, he has out-stripped the foreigner in efficiency and endurance. The very foreigners who object to his presence, are the ones who objected to the draft. They are the very ones whose kin in Europe was fed by Negro laborers during the war. We do not expect anything from him, but we do expect something and expect it now from white Ameri- cans, whom we have followed to the ends of the world to make America what she is among the nations today.

THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK FOR HIM HERE AND IN VIEW OF HIS PAST LOY- ALTY AND PRESENT EFFICIENCY, HE SHOULD'HAVE THE PREFERENCE. 2 The sultry summer waves of rioting in Chicago have broken on the shores of right-thinking. But in order to perpetuate a more perfect peace, we propose to eradicate and eliminate by way of militant attack some of the fundamental evils that fertilize the public minds with dis- eased ideas. ‘The paramount evil in this country is the lack of uncompromising, honest and intelligent leadership. As long as the Negro is represented by the cringing, crouching, ignorant, verbose and unscrupulous type of would-be leaders, just so long will mutual and intelligent understanding between races be delayed. We do not propose to hide behind our gar- ments any longer those pseudo leaders that for 55 years have misrepre- sented our policies, curtailed our progress, exploited our votes and bar- tered away our inherent and constitutional birthrights for personal gain and filthy political Iucre.

It is to pollen that hay fever is due. To the sufferers with this com plaint pollen is a rank poison and the slightest contact with it gives them the violent attacks of sneezing, watery eyes and nose, difficult breathing, and some: times other symptoms which makes life miserable for a period of two or three months, A person will develop hay fever only when he comes in contact with the pollen of a certain plant to which he is sensitive. Most people are sensitive to the pollen of ragweed. Others are sensitive to the pollen of the goldenrod, ‘of rye, of clover, of almost any other plant. Some people cannot come into a room where there is a vase of roses without having violent attacks of those symtoms which are character istie of hay fever. There are quite a number of plants which bear their pol- The Week’s Best Editorial Next to the Stool Pigeon, if not equal to it, the most dreaded and contemptible creature in any decent community is the Scandal Monger or Social Scavenger. It can generate and circulate more unadulterated hell in five minutes than all the host of angels can quench in eternity. The Scandal Monger is the highest, most finished and at the same time the lowest and most shameless type of gossip or purveyor of vicious personalities. It is to the common backyard-garden variety of gossip what the highly trained musical artist is to the mere beginner. To produce it, re- quires not only a native aptitude, but long training supple mented by a suitably vicious environment. Like the toad- stool or fungus it thrives and reaches its highest stage of development in a damp miasmic and noisome atmosphere. Neither plant nor animal, it isa “thing” of uncertain origin and miserable finish. The natural prey of this foul caterer to human weak- nesses are young girls just budding into womanhood and others, who have before them a life of promise. Yet men and women of maturer years, even gray haired grand- fathers and grandmothers are not wholly immune to their vile attacks. From the cradle to the grave, like a vulture, it camps upon the trail of the human family. To it, a sus- picion against one of good repute, is proof as strong as holy writ; a mere suggestion, verification beyond all question of doubt. Upon its long slimy tongue, a tit-bit of evil report is rolled like a bon-bon until it loses its savor by constant repeatings. In itself it supposes the entire world is unclean. In brief this is a picture of the Scandal Monger. Shun it. a= Jen in the spring, such as the dandelion and fruit trees, People sensitive to the pollen of these plants will have their attacks in the spring. Pollen consists of very tiny yellow grains and is the material which fer: tilizes plants so that they may bear seeds. The pollen is distributed to the plants in the form of dust by the wind ‘When the atmosphere becomes charged with it, it is breathed by people. When it comes in contact with the mucous membrane of the nose and throat of hay fever victims, it sets up an inflammation very similar to that of an ordinary eold. Tt is a misnomer to call the disease hay: fever, however, since it is neither caused by hay nor is there a fever, Sufferers with hay fever have long noticed that they obtain relief after a rain. This is because the rain washes the air, 40 to speak, eleass it of the pol: len grains for a while at least, Other people find relief by going out on the ecean or lake where the wind has not carried the dust, For the same reason it is beneficial to go to high altitudes. If one can find the particular plant to which he is sensitive, and very often HAY FEVER this is easy, he can select localities where the plant does not grow and live there during the months he suffers most. Between the annual attacks, the patient is usually perfectly healthy. During the height of an attack, one can get relief by spraying the nose with ‘a one to a thousand dilution of adrena- lin, There is no justification for using cocaine sprays, as the danger of forming the habit is great, An antixerum has een devised by a doctor with the name of Dunbar, which is sold under the trade name of pollantin, It is obtained from horses immunized with different kinds of pollen. Many years of experi- ence have shown that this antiserum is of very little practical use. The most recent scientific method of treating the disease ix of injecting under the skin of the patient small amounts of the pol Jen to which is is sensitive, These in jections must be carried out under the Wirection of a skilled physician who is thoroughly versed in the principles of immunity. The exponent of this form of treatment is Dr. Karl K, Koessler of the University of Chicago. Internally, preparations of caleium chloride can be taken with benefit, While hay fover is of itself a very bland disease and rarely causes more than the discomfort during the attack, it sometimes happens that tuberculosis follows in its wake, For this reason, an effort should be made to prevent and eure the Attucks of hay fever, | itor’s Mail | Editor’s Mai Editor Chicago Whip, Dear Sir: I am a_ constant reader of your paper.
