TO ABOLISH JIM CROW CARS LIBERIA'S PRESIDENT VISITS RACE CONGRESS said he would hear an argument for a invitation to spy on the Nathan and its returned soldiers." the President. Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro Vol. 1.—No. 12. TO A LIBERIA Bill Introduced by Senator Madden Opposed by Southerners If the bill, introduced into Congress and fathered by Representative Madden of Illinois, to amend "An Act to Regulate Commerce," approved Feb. 1887, is passed, the long cursed "Jim Crow" car, the blight of the Negro's traveling experience, will find its way to the scrap heap of discarded institutions of racial discrimination. This bill provides that "It shall be unlawful * * * to deny or to refuse to furnish equal and identical rights and accommodations, and privileges to any person on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude," this to be applied to transportation systems "soliciting interstate commerce." On Friday last this bill was introduced before the Interstate Commerce committee for a hearing. The Colored American Council, an organization purposeting to study national legislation as it affects colored people, was represented at this hearing by a number of its members, several of whom argued in behalf of the bill. Representative Madden presented the bill, Mr. George H. Murray, counsel for the Colored American Council, presented an argument for the constitutionality of the bill and the necessity of congressional legislation. Introducing his argument, Mr. Murray said "We gave the best blood and treasure of our nation, black and white, to confer upon the peoples of Europe freedom from ruthless crushing, soul-deadening blight of 'Culture.' I take it that it will require no great sacrifice for us to lay down our prejudices in order that the peoples of our own country shall be made politically free. We have vanquished the enemy in the field of force; we have yet to vanquish him in the field of government." In proof of the statement that "Jim Crow" accommodations are seldom, if ever, equal, Mr. Murray pointed out that coaches for Negroes were usually placed just behind the engine to catch the most heat and dirt and the greatest danger in case of accident or at the end of the train, where danger in incidents was equally great. Other speakers from the council were Lieut. T. M. Gregory, who, in 1916, made a special study of railroad discriminations in the South, and who was prepared to lay bare the most convincing facts against the "Jim Crow" institution and who made a most impressive presentation of these facts; Prof. A. W. Mitchell, formerly president of the State Industrial Institute of Alabama; Mr. Edward B. Henderson of Washington, and Capt. Louis R. Mellinger. Capt. Mellinger, who served with the Ninety-second Division overseas, compared the return of the white and colored soldiers to the country for which both had fought, and recited some of his own experiences since his return. Representatives Rayburn of Texas, Sanders of Louisiana, Simms of Tennessee made vigorous assaults upon the bill, engaging in prolonged colloquies as to whether or not the bill was intended to infringe upon state rights or to promote social equality among the races. After the argument of the colored council had been presented, however, these represntatives were profoundly silent or conspicuously absent. The argument by the council, it is stated upon high authority, made a profound and favorable impression. The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY CONSERVATISM SUPERSTITION UNCLE TOMISM INNOCENCE HARRITESM THE OLD NEGRO TO OBLIVION COWARDICE NEW NEGRO PRIDE COURAGE RADICALISM TRUTH EDUCATION AGGRESSIVENESS ALERTNESS SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA Lynch Negroes, Drag Bodies Florida Whites, Missing Assailant of Girl, Seize Alleged Slayers of Man. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 13.—Two Negroes charged with murder were taken from the city jail here shortly after midnight and lynched. A mob of 50 men stormed the jail in search of a Negro who was being held for assaulting a little white girl but who had been secretly sent to St. Augustine by court officers following threats of violence. Finding their intended victim gone the crowd seized the two Negroes charged with the murder recently of George Dubos, white man, took them to the outskirts of the city in automobiles and shot them to death. They then placed ropes about the necks of the bodies and dragged them through the city streets. One body was dropped in front of a leading hotel. The other had not been found. The sheriff and a posse are searching for members of the mob but no arrests have been made. Conductor Hits Negro and Is Shot; His Assailant Escapes Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Frank Stewart, a conductor on the Magnolia street car line, was shot Tuesday night by an unknown Negro over a street car fare. According to the reports of witnesses, the car was crowded and the Negro was standing on the back platform. The conductor asked him for his fare. He replied that he had CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 1919 paid his fare, which was verified later by witnesses. The conductor disputed him and grabbed the Negro to put him off the car. The Negro resisted and in the tussle he was hit with a balck-jack by the conductor. He jumped off the car, at the same time shooting the conductor in the arm and breast, wounding him severely. Stewart fired at the Negro, but his shots did not take effect. Officer L. W. Whitley and Special Officer John Crenshaw were called. They made an investigation, but being unable to apprehend the Negro or any suspects no arrests were made. Pat O'Donnel Flays Maclay Hoyne Says State's Attorney Protected Vice Responsible for County's Crime. Sunday afternoon, the People's Movement club was filled to overflowing. Every seat was taken and even standing room was at a premium. Patrick H. O'Donnell, the fearless Irish orator unfolded his punch and read extracts and affidavits that showed beyond a reasonable doubt that Maclay Hoyne has been recreent to his trust and guilty of malfeasance. Tells of Vice Trusts. At length, he went into detail telling of the various vice trusts that for seven years have thrived under the states attorney's nose. Among those named were the clairvoyants, hold-up men, burglars, wire tappers and daylight bank robbers. He said that the state's attorney had first knowledge of them all and has succeeded in getting only one or two convictions. He stated further, that he could prove that those who were convicted. Hoyne | hair, whether is we in the "kitchen," | still on fan time. got them out under the guise of using them as state witnesses or had them pardoned by the governor's parole commission. Says Colored People Must Fight Own Battles. With the eloquence of Erwin Burke, O'Donnell after characterizing himself as coming from fighting stock, said that the colored people should be chesty and proud of their country and of themselves, and should at once arrive at the conclusion that their conclusion lies 99 per cent in their own hands; that white men did not respect one another when they did not exhibit certain inherent qualities of man hood and that it was illogical to conclude that they would respect or even would consider any other race who were minus these qualities. Receives Great Ovation. Mr. Bent, secretary to the grand jury, was seated upon the platform and was the first to grasp his hand after he had finished his timely and instructive speech. Like madmen rushing at an alien enemy, the other distinguished visitors grasped the orator's hands to commend him. People's Movement Stages Big Meeting Geo. F. Harding, Jr., and Pat O'Donnell Speak. Sunday, Sept. 7, at the People's Movement club, 3140 Indiana ave., one of the most interesting programs of the season was staged. George F. Harding and his long time rival, Oscar De Priest, shook hands after which the senator was introduced and commended the colored people for their choice for constitutional delegates. Delegates Talk. Rev. A. J. Carey, regular organization candidate to the constitutional convention thrilled the audience with his eloquence and the inside information concerning the convention after which Colonel Denison, who is the only colored candidate in the first district, spoke briefly of his platform and the necessity of sending as many competent colored men as possible to the state convention. Edward H. Morris, the People's Movement candidate received quite a loud ovation. He also made a pledge that if there were any jokers in the proposed changes that he could be relied upon to find them. Among the distinguished visitors present were, Mr. Brent, secretary to the special grand jury; James A. Scott, and others. Colored Soldier Shot to Death by Arkansas Mob (Special to The Whip.) Pine Bllff, Ark., Sept. 13.—Flinton Briggs, 26, a discharged Negro soldier, just returned from overseas, was shot and killed by a mob three miles south of Star City, Ark., Monday afternoon. According to reports, Briggs was walking along the sidewalk, when he met a white couple, and as he stepped to one side to let them pass, the white woman brushed into him and said, "Niggers get off of the sidewalk down here." Briggs replied, that this was a free country. No sooner than he had made the remarks, the woman's escort seized him. As he tusseled to get away from his opponent, other whites going along the street quickly ganged around. Briggs was quickly thrust into a passing automobile and was taken about two or three miles The Whip is the only colored paper you can rely upon for clean, wholesome news.

After the hoodlums had reached the edge of town, they found they could not secure a rope to lynch the innocent soldier with, so they took automobile chains and chained him to a tree, after which he was made the target of forty or fifty rifle and revolver bullets. Bruns's body was found by a farmer, who repaired it to the authorities. The coroner, who held an inquest over the body, verdict was that he had come to his death by a mob of unknown persons. Up to the present writing nothing has been done to try to find a clue or no investigations have been started. Many colored farmers, who live around in the vicinity, have voiced their intentions of leaving, and many have already left for the North.

They pledged the support of the colored people of the land to any plan that might be devised looking to the uplift and development of their "Sister Republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door" through which the New World may enter the inner life of the "Dark Continent" and bring the leaven of a higher civilization.

Two hundred men accused of gambling and one hundred men and women charged with conducting or patronizing disorderly houses were police prisoners today, following dozens of raids in all parts of the city. The drive, which started simultaneously from three stations, was the department's answer to charges by State's Attorney Hoyne that vice has been flourishing in the city without interference from the police. One of the gambling houses raided was the famous establishment of "Hickory Slim" Jonhson at 1210 W. Madison st. More than $20,000 in currency was found on a crap table in "Slim's" house. A player was just "shooting" $5,000 when detectives broke in. Twenty men were arrested. A second raid on "Hickory Slim's" place was made today. Five men were arrested. The raids will be continued, Chief Garrity said, until the police are satisfied that gambling has been stamped out. Other Places Raided.

S. Sub Surpasses German U-Boat in All Points, Test Shows Washington, Sept. 8.—Exhaustive comparative tests of the relative merits of German U-boats and United States navy submarines of the new "S" type conducted by a special board of naval officers shows the German craft to be inferior to the new American submersible in every respect. The best of the five captured German submarines brought to this country last spring, the U-111 built at the Germania yard, Kiel, in 1918 was used in the tests against the S-3, built at Portsmouth navy yard in 1918. Both submarines are of the 80-ton class. In the speed trials, conducted under parallel conditions, the German submarine developed a maximum surface speed of 13.8 knots, while the American craft made 14.7 knots without difficulty. The variation in submerged speed was even more startling, the U-111 only making 7.8 knots under the water, while the S-3 developed 12.4 knots. The cruising range of the two boats, the report shows, also favors the S-3 despite the furor created by the appearance of U boats on the American coast during the war. The U-117 was found to be capable of cruising 8,500 miles at eight knots while the S-3 could cover 10,000 miles at 11 knots. The submerged cruising abilities of the two vessels was equally in favor of the S-3. TWO MEN HELD AS FUGITIVES Strothers and Franklin Are Said to Resemble Colored Swindlers. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 13.—Roy Strothers, giving his address as 1225 W. Twenty-fifth street, and James Franklin, Birmingham, Ala., both colored, were arrested Thursday by detectives Mullin and Stewart and slated at the city prison as fugitives. The police at Louisville wired the police department at Chicago that two colored men had swindled a colored woman of $1,000 by some pocketbook "game." Strothers and Franklin who the police say answered the description of the two men, were arrested as they stepped from a train that had just arrived from Louisville. The detectives say they armmed obtaining the Louisville woman's money. They had $851.30 in their possession when arrested. vCan I ve Reasons W EY B.

Leftwich, Negro educator, and M. Slucer, financial agent for the school, have launched a campaign to raise $25,000. It is planned to use the funds for the training of 400 Negro boys of this state at the school at Bookertee, where $50,000 worth of buildings are under construction. The movement has the approval of Mayor Charles Hubbard and C. B. Douglas, secretary of the chamber of commerce, according to the publicity committee for the drive. REPUBLICANS IGNORE PRESIDENT WILSON'S SPEAKING TOUR Washington, Sept. 13.—Plans for an organized tour of Republican speakers in the wake of President Wilson's transcontinental tour were abandoned today at a conference of Republican senators. It became known at the same time, however, that individual Republican senators are arranging individual speaking engagements. Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, will speak in Indianapolis a few days after the president's visit there and later will speak in California. Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, Poindexter, Republican, of Washington, and others opposed to the league also are making speaking engagements. Senators Borah, Lodge, Knox and other Republicans plan to remain in Washington, where the treaty will be under consideration in the senate and plan to make replies to the president from the floor.

Columbus, Sept. 13.—Wearers of the Union blue in the days of '61 took possession of this city yesterday, when the vanguard of the old soldiers began arriving in Columbus for the national G. A. R. encampment, which formally begins Tuesday and continues throughout this week. Special trains from as far West as California and from all other directions carried the veterans into the city all day. The preliminary event of the encampment was a union religious service at Memorial hall in the afternoon at which ministers of various denominations gave addresses. A semi-official meeting and reception will be held tonight, with James E. Campbell, former governor of Ohio and director and chairman of the encampment, presiding. Will Make Welcoming Addresses. Following the singing of the national anthem the invocation will be given by Chaplain in Chief Phillip Anordell of Boston, and addresses of welcome given by Gov. James M. Cox and Mayor George J. Karb. Commander in Chief Clarendon E. Adams of Omaha, Neb., will respond. A big parade in which thousands of Union army veterans, as well as soldiers who served during the world war, will march, will be staged Wednesday. So many old soldiers are expected for the encampment that appeals have been made by city and encampment officials for citizens to give aid in housing and feeding the visitors. Hundreds of automobiles are to be placed at the service of the old soldiers. One Noted Veteran Arrives. Conspicuous in the crowd of visitors was C. B. Lower, of the 1st Pennsylvania rifles—the "Old Bucktails"—who wears the sweeping emblem in his hat and a congressional medal of honor around his neck for "gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty." He wore the same coat in which he fought in the war, patched and bullet marked. Among the few "Jack Tars" here for the encampment is John H. Cady, of the U. S. S. Vindicator, a native of Putagonia, Ariz., who served three enlistments in the navy and hasn't missed an encampment in years. Sumner P. Galloway and his wife, whom he wheels about in a chair, came from Carmen, Okla., to attend the encampment. He also is one of the "regulars," 'as is Mrs. Galloway. KNOXVILLE QUIET AGAIN; TROOPS ARE WITHDRAWN Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 13.—National guardsmen who have been on riot duty since Saturday were relieved today and Knoxville resumed her normal condition. The Knox county grand jury convened in special session Wednesday, and began investigation of the race riots which raged here from Saturday until Tuesday, resulting in the death of six Negroes and two white persons. The first case that was presented to the jury was the murder of Mrs. Bertis Lindsay, who was killed in her home Saturday night by Maurice Mays, according to the police. The riots followed the efforts of the mob to take the Negro from the jail where he was confined awaiting trial. Mays was spirited away by the authorities, and after the mob found that they could not get him, they hurried to the Negro section of the town and attacked several Negroes, after which caused a regular race war. Up to date, twenty-five white men and one white woman have been arrested, charged with participating in the riots. The grand jury will consider these cases immediately. The Tennessee militia, who had been on duty since Sunday, were withdrawn from the city Tuesday night. In response to a joint advertisement by all hardware stores, which were looted during the riot Saturday night, more than 250 weapons were returned to the stores. Mr. Howard Thomas is making all preparations to bid farewell to his old friends. He is going to the sunny South to visit his—well, we won't expose him just now, but we are thinking very hard when he returns that he will be what some one calls a lucky man. We also hope that Miss Beith, who, we have learned from Mr. Thomas, is a teacher in the Normal school in New Orleans, will do all that is in her power to reduce his weight, because the heat this summer has not been so pleasant for him. DRUGS Spiritualist Calls Forth the Spirit of Abe Lincoln Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 13.—Abraham Lincoln staged a startling come-back Tuesday night and spent 15 minutes denouncing President Wilson in particular, the Democratic party in general and the league of nations as fostered by the "proponents of a world democracy that will make America an European battleground." It all happened at a spiritualistic meeting on W. Third street, conducted by two well-known Tulsa women. At the opening of the meeting "The Star Spangled Banner" was played to bring the soldiers nearer the meeting, the medium explained. Then came a sacred song, the lights went out and everybody waited. After a few minutes the medium went into a trance and, as she explained, Abraham Lincoln talked: "You have no president now, my dear people. You no longer have the freedom that America has enjoyed for so long. Years ago the boys in blue fought and won a splendid victory. Only a short time ago America sent two million men to an European slaughter pen and won a magnificent military victory. The boys won their fight, but I can see that all of that good is to be undone and America converted into a battlefield for European nations. The league of nations will rob America of her last vestige of independence and will subordinate her will to the powers of the old world. "I am Abraham Lincoln, former president of the United States, speaking. Be not misled, my friends. Keep your eyes open and watch for the breakers that are ahead. If you are not careful you will be rocked asleep by idealists, but you will be awakened by materialists. Beware, my friends. Good-bye." The dozen or more persons at the meeting sat in silence. Finally the medium said: "I believe the lights will be in order." They were. Everybody shook hands and the meeting was over.

At a meeting held at Lovejoy Station, Henry County, Tuesday, the number of Negroes interested in the farming machinery was larger than at any other meeting. D. C. Lawhon, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who is with the demonstration crew, telephoned that farmers for twenty-five miles around Lovejoy were present at the demonstration and lectures. For the first time on the tour the crew found a plot of ground that was easy to plew. The tractors and plowing machinery were kept busy the entire day. Many of the farmers present were tractor owners and came to the meeting to get information about the use of tractors. How To Make Money Without Work Cut out this coupon and take to the Pickford Shop.

(Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—Word is being received from many states by the officials of the National Race Congress of America indicating that interest in the forthcoming "suffrage session" of that organization, called to meet in this city Oct. 7-11, is growing by leaps and bounds and its success is assured. It is especially desired by President W. H. Jernagin that the exact date of this session is kept thoroughly in mind by the people in general, to the end that the deliberations of the National Race Congress may not be confused with those of another body somewhat similar in name, also announced for this city some time in September. The organizations are separate and distinct (although not antagonistic), and the program of the National Race Congress of America is peculiar unto itself in points of race protection to be emphasized and in the method of reaching the results to be achieved. Delegates planning to attend the Nation Race Congress will bear in mind that the convention to which they are being elected will assemble here Oct. 7 to 11, inclusive, at the Metropolitan Baptist church, R st., between Twelfth and Thirteenth sts., N. W., of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor, and will govern themselves accordingly. Any further information that may be desired will be cheerfully furnished by Brothers Jernigan, Norman and Callis or Prof. John R. Hawkins, from the national headquarters, 902 Third st. N. W. Local Units Being Formed All Over the Land. Encouraging reports are being received from A. C. Garner, Rev. Daniel L. Reed, Rev. A. A. Graham and other agents in the field, who are giving their entire time during the month of September to the work of forming local units of the National Race Congress in various states which will send delegates from every section to Washington in October.

HARDEN General Manager ```markdown ``` r ple are manifesting a greater measure of enthusiasm for their own welfare now than has been known at any time since emancipation, and the readiness with which they are responding to the call of the representative men in charge of this cause bodes well for the future of all concerned. Active work in the organization of local units is being carried on day by day by public-spirited men and women, and to make the convention truly "national" particular attention is being paid to the territory as far west as Kansas City and as far south as Texas and the gulf border, where a personal canvass is being made. Large delegations from the South and West will render a service that cannot be valued too highly in pushing our problems of suffrage and equal rights to the foreground of national consideration. The adoption of the "zone system" is proving quite effective, and in the western districts, under the supervision of Rev. J. R. Ransom of Wichita, Kan., the results reported are gratifying to the last degree. In a measure not less satisfactory the southern districts are being heard from and delegates in many quarters have already been elected and qualified. Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary in charge of the $250,000 emergency defense fund for the protection of the race everywhere, reports a constant inflow of subscriptions, with churches, fraternities, clubs and individuals responding generously and heartily. The recent unfortunate race happenings here and in other places have deeply impressed upon our people the necessity for the maintenance of a substantial defense fund for just such emergencies, and Professor Hawkins is confident he will be able to make a showing at the October convention that will be both surprising and inspiring. The Negro press is lending a cordial support to this movement "of the people, by the people, and for the people," and there is every reason to believe that Oct. 7 will bring to Washington the most progressive outpouring of the race that the nation has ever witnessed.

Two mysterious women visitors were traced to Chicago Monday as the search for the gun-runners who supplied the ammunition for Sunday's rioting in the state reformatory at Pontiac was renewed. Transfer of the ringleaders in the convicts' uprising to Joliet penitentiary was contemplated. The state authorities have ordered an investigation. Wounded Guard Dying. Physicians stated that the death of Carl Hancock, a guard, shot through the head, was a matter of hours. His father, John Hancock, shot in the leg, will recover. Two were killed in the fighting that followed the attempted jail-break. They were Charles Kruger, reformatory guard, shot and beaten to death, and John Kelly, Chicago gunman, inmate. John Fredericko, Chicago, inmate, who with Kelly led the vain rush of the convicts for freedom, was wounded in the thigh. Shoot Two Guards. Rioting started when Kruger, noticing signs that the bars of the door of the cell occupied by Kelly and Fredericko had been sawed, called Carl Hancock and attempted to remove the men to solitary confinement. As the guards entered the cell the two convicts drew automatic pistols and fired point blank. Both guards fell. Krugers' death was instantaneous. At the sound of the shooting Turnkey W. F. Donovan hastened into the corridor, where he was promptly ambushed. He was forced to surrender his keys and locked in a cell. Turn Loose 500 Inmates. Fredericko, stationing himself at a point of vantage, held off the other guards with pistol shots while Kelly attempted to release the remainder of the 500 prisoners. Southern Press Answers Colored Man's Complaint Mobile, Ala., Sept. 13.—A writer, a colored man, writes to ask if it is not possible to find something more palatable for Negro subscribers than the reports of "chicken stealing,' and 'shinny making' by black men and women, or where the recorder has given some black man the 'limit' for carrying or attempting to carry a pistol home he has just purchased." The question appears to be asked in sincerity and deserves a like reply, which is that The Register does not create the news of happenings in Mobile; it simply reflects it. The white chicken stealers and white shiny makers and pistol carriers receive notice the same as the colored. No one can reasonably expect the paper to discriminate and leave out mention of the misdoings of the colored, which happen to be many, and on that account make unpleasant reading for colored subscribers. The correspondent is discreditably mistaken when he says that there is "never anything meritorious and elevating" about the black man printed in the white man's newspapers. He ought to ask questions and become better informed. COLORED SOLDIER ELUDES CAPTORS Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 13.—Albert Woldridge, Negro, wanted by Camp Pike authorities on a charge of desertion, was locked up at police headquarters last night for safekeeping until this morning when he will be transferred to Camp Pike for trial. City Marshal J. D. Rattere of Monticello, who arrested Woldridge there several days ago, returned the prisoner. According to Camp Pike authorities, Woldridge has made several escapes.

I wonder if some vamp can't cheer our hero baseball expert up just a little—he seems to be so loensome all the time. We are not speaking of Mr. Jenkins. He was arrested early last November charged with desertion. While awaiting court-martial he and three white prisoners escaped by scaling a high wall at the camp. The white men have been recaptured and are serving sentences in the Leavenworth federal prison. Woldridge was arrested shortly after his first escape and while being brought back, leaped through the window of a moving train and again fled. It was said that Woldridge is a dangerous character and the utmost care will be exercised this time in preventing his escape again. Street Paved With Money Load of Pennies Dumped at Federal Building as Wagon Breaks. A wagon load of pennies amounting to $5,000 was dumped into the street in front of the federal building Monday when the dilapidated wagon which carried the treasure collapsed. The driver of the vehicle, Jake Bruskus, employed by the Commonwealth Transfer Company, was hauling the money to the Corn Exchange bank from the subtreasury. Crossing Patrolman Pat O'Malley and several guards from the bank, who accompanied the cargo, stood guard over the money until a second wagon was summoned and the wealth reloaded.

Dauber is a big, healthy, bearded man who looks as though he could lift half hundredweights in each hand as easily as he picks up his palette. An elderly tustic, who had been standing watching him painting by the roadside, approached him. "No offense, sir," he began, "but is anything the matter wi' yer?" "No," answered Dauber, "what makes you ask?" "Yer hain't lame, are you?" "Lame! Good gracious, no!" "Yer hain't 'ad a misfortune in any way? The scatilac or lombager, that's kind o' laid yer by?" "No! I'm as well as I have always been," The rustic drew himself up and gazed scornfully at the artist. "An' yer call yerself a man, an' can sit theer a-doin' o' that," he said. "Well, I'm blest!"

"How was it the detective got or the scent of the crime so quickly?" "The suspect had been eating onions." --- Old Abner was very tired. The morning hours passed slowly. With this new ache in his back, he was unable to weed the garden, and Betsy felt aggrieved. Betsy was his elder son's wife and when her husband had decided to make the farm their home, after his mother's death, old Abner had stayed on with them. But some way or other the real home vanished with Betsy's coming. Abner couldn't understand it. Betsy's biscuits were as flaky as his wife's had been, and the big house was kept immaculate. Yet Abner preferred to sit outside now on the door stone. His quavering whistle grew more plaintive as he whitted absently at a suck. Violently Betsy threw open the front door. "Land!" she exclaimed "look at those shavings. Pick 'em up, father." Abner glanced diffidently in his young grandson's direction. "Mebbe Dannie would do it for me," he ventured. "Dannie will pick up his own shavings when he makes 'em," Betsy retorted, "and you can pick up yours." As Abner bent painfully to his task, he recalled a time in his own childhood, when he had spoken in what his mother considered a disrespectful manner to his grandfather. Abner remembered also the shamed humility of his punishment. "Times has changed," he murmured. Betsy presented a pan of green pens to the old man. "You can pod these as easy as whittling," she said. So grandfather Abner began on the peas, and as he awkwardly podded he mentally contrasted the attitude of his younger son in the city, and of the friends whom he brought out to the farm, with the actions of the elder son and his wife. There seemed little preference between the two. John, happy and thoughtless, had succeeded remarkably in the profession for which his parents had sacrificially prepared him. Old Abner winced, remembering the good-natured but irritating jokes of John's friends. "Times has changed," old Abner murmured—he was very tired. Then as he stared wearily down the long, stretching road, his years of patient submission were overwhelmed in a sudden rebellion. He would submit no longer to dominion or ridicule—no one really cared about him—he would run away. Again, memory brought a day from his forgotten boyhood, when in revolt he had fled down the same country road only to return at evening, repentant, to welcoming arms. There would be no welcome back now; still he must go. Tremblingly, he placed the pan of pooled peas on the step and hobbled swiftly toward the woods. A small, gayly painted Noah's ark sort of a house, having the appearance, of being recently set down in its place, attracted his attention. The girl on the porch told him about it when he stopped perplexedly to ask if he was mistaken in thinking the house had not been there before. The girl laughed delightedly as she explained. "It's a portable house," she said; "father and I send it along wherever we wish to stop. Father hunts specimens, and I go to see that he's fed. Father would forget all about eating if I were not there to remind him. Won't you sit down," she asked kindly, "and rest upon our veranda?" Gratefully, old Abner accepted the invitation, the problem of his destination had been growing as he walked, and it was a big problem now. Some way or other as he sat in the restful silence, with the girl's sympathetic face near by, he found himself answering her gentle questioning, with the faltering story of his life. But when his own eyes grew moist with tears the girl's blazed defiance instead. The pretty pink spots in her cheeks grew even pinker. "The pity of it!" she exclaimed, and impulsively leaned over Abner's bowed figure. "You are going to stay right here," she declared, "until you tire of us. Now, listen while I tell you. It will be no charity at all. Father is longing for some one to trudge with him through the woods—and to help him examine his specimens. So it happened. Miss Paula Provost herself drove in her car to inform Mrs. Betsy of the whereabouts of her father-in-law and also of his resolution to examine where he was. It was John from the city who came post haste to seek out his runaway father. He found him one summer afternoon seated upon the porch of a gay little house, between a contented old naturalist and his charming daughter. Abner could not be persuaded to leave his new peaceful abode, and so it became necessary for John to come again—and still again. When the brilliant foliage of autumn decked the trees old Abner gazed one day tenderly into the young girl's eyes. "Aren't you going to make my boy happy?" he asked, "anyone can see that his heart is yours." "He needs punishment," Paula replied, "for his former thoughtlessness to you." "I've always wished for a daughter-in-law just like you," the old man sighed wistfully. And as the girl laughed softly young John's suit was won. (Copyright, 1919, Western Newspaper Union) 3 a. alf.

DANIEL JOHNSON Daily insultings, beatings and rap- ing of children and women by whites cause a sullen, ominous scowl, because there is no officer to arrest, no magis- trate to commit, no jury to believe that a Negro has family rights if a white man desires to invade, no judge to condemn; and therefore no Negro who will appeal to the law to punish a white man. On the other hand if a Negro is charged with crime, he is arrested, tried and most surely con- demned by those who hate him. And if the alleged crime is against a white woman he is lucky if he gets even what one of our ex-presidents LS estes eae aanon NN calls “a speedy trial” (which means no trial but a judicial murder). Peon. age is ripe in many, many parts of the South with an occasional effort to free some poor oppressed Negr slave. In spite of the impossibility of « fair trial, even the apostle of “: square deal,” advises the Negro t “assist in apprehending — Negroe: charged with offenses.” This advic will always be met by a disdainfu smile until the courts will give ever a Negro a chance to be proven guilty or to establish his innocence. A Negro who hands over another Negrc to Southern justice (?) is a murderer of his kind. If the courts (even the supreme court of the United States) intervene to insure a fair trial, the stores will furnish arms and ammunition, the electric company will turn off the lights, the “hello-central girl” will turn down certain numbers, the police, firemen and militia will be “called out” to protect the mob while it does its work to show the world that the South will not brook interference in NN ee a m) its dealings with its criminal born black. ‘Thousands of dollars given by | philanthropiats and gathered by taxes for the improvement of all the people [have been diverted to the use of the [whites only.

THE WHIP The fellow who gets into public print by virtue of his position in life only guess. I do not have to go to the books. I do not have to theorize; I am a Pullman car porter. All things are settled daily in my presence. I know how Germany will pay her indemnity; how the Mexican problem will be solved; what the matter is with Japan; how to settle the Irish question, and how many games it will take to win the world series. When I want to acquire an education in any subject I just get busy in the smoking compartment, and in almost no time I exhaust the entire available stock of human misinformation. By the way, the B, & O. is famous for its beef steak and onions—hence its name. Hoping one of these observations will make a hit, I am headed toward first base. ★ ★ ★ The prohibitionists are now like their favorite beverage—neither has any kick coming. * * * "You can't make love and drive a car at the same time," declares Cor- oner Hoffman. * * * The absence of the President from the White House for a month will not disturb the servants.

It's all right to talk about miracle men in baseball, but the real miracles are pulled off in the beauty league, primping parlors, the place of second division maid is made over into a pennant winner. And as soon as she gets the pennant its only a couple of months before she cops the solitary; yes, yes, indeed, the lotion league is where they stretch a single gal into a double ring ceremony. Wren comes in with skin as tough as a Hyde and goes out with a Jekyll complexion. Don't tell us. The miracles are performed on the diamond. Like this: Guy sees a girl with complexion like a rose and picks it. Rose may fade after it is picked, but the rose should worry then. Once it's in the marriage league it's too late to go back to the bushes. They use sticks just like any baseball game. Lip sticks is its name—it can make a girl with a mouth like a cannon resemble a kiss me queen. *** One of the strangest coincidences I have ever heard was soft drinks doubling at the same time the country went dry. . . .

F. member: "Them French peacherinos used to wink the eye and shimmy with one shoulder and chirp to me, 'Oh, you Sammy!' and I used to salute and say, "Oh, you babee" (glancing over his shoulder and sees wife approaching), "but if any of them begins getting frisky I am drawing up in my khaki shell and I say, "As you were, Frenchie, as you were.' They didn't know, maybe, what I meant, but they could tell by the iron ring in my voice that it wasn't nothing good to eat or the walking in the moonlight by the Argonne." --- With the President opening his tour in Columbus and the Cincinnati Reds winning the National pennant, Ohio feels like the proud father of twins.

The League of Unsegregated Sport Pages is President Woodright Jim's personal passion. It is an idealistic, altruistic, eternal and symphonetic brotherhood of paragraphs and its utopian purpose is to equalize the foreign commerce in sports to distribute with impartial justice the current events among the contending celebs, with a view to guaranteeing the weak column the same crack of a joke enjoyed by the powerful one; guaranteeing the obscured sporting page reader the same share of contribs as the mighty and arrogant editorial page power. The congress of editors is bitterly opposing President Woodright Jim to foster certain political schemes, hoping to keep all strength mobilized on the editorial page in order to tempt the voter to read the adjacent editorials; but President Woodright Jim modestly predicts that his league will win. The editor of The Whip was the conversant and announces that no paper should have two policies. If you are against segregation on the front page, don't insult the intelligence of your sport readers by segregating their news. Eventually. Why not now? Cybans Beat Minor Leaguers Peoria lost its first barnstorming game to the Cuban Stars yesterday at Logan Square, 9 to 6. Young threw away the game in the ninth when he passed three men and was hit safely three times for four runs. Rube Ehrhardt was also at fault in the eighth, when he stuck one over for Pedrose, who shot the ball over the right fence for a homer. Neis for Peoria accumulated three hits the first being a homer and the two others triples. Score: Cubans— r. h. p.o. a.

C.'s of Indianapolis made a balk in the thirteenth inning, forcing in the run that spelled victory for the American Giants. The Giants started off to make a run away game of it, but the A. B. C.'s kept plugging and tied the score in the sixth. The Giants came back with what looked to be the knock out blow in the eighth. The A. B. C.'s went to the bat three runs to the bad in their half of the ninth and took the By Jim Vance field in the last half of the ninth with a one run lead. The Giants tied the score in the last half and it was nip and tuck until the thirteenth. The batting of Houston and Day of the A. B.

World Series of Nine Games Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 8.—August Herrmann, chairman of the national baseball commission, said he is confident the National and American league club owners will vote in favor of a nine-game world series. The commission's bulletin announces the contending clubs will turn over to the two leagues, 75 per cent of their part of the receipts of the eighth and ninth games, if they are played. That, it is held, ought to still the cry of commercialism. Eaton Bike Champion Newark, N. J., Sept. 8.—Raymond Eaton of Newark ran up enough points to clinch his claim to the professional bicycle championship of America when he defeated Frank Kramer in the semi-final of the five-mile title race and finished second to Eddie Madden in the final of the two-mile race. Sox on Way East for Last Swing With $ 7^{\frac{1}{2}} $ Game Lead Gleason's pennant bidders hit the long trail for the east after Sunday's big game, in which the locals cleaned up their nearest rivals, 4 to 3, and practically dismissed any further hopes the Indians might have entertained of supplanting the White Sox. The south siders now possess a satisfactory lead of seven and a half games over Cleveland and half a game more over Detroit, a handicap that it seems impossible for either of the fresh water clubs to overcome. The final game here was in the nature of an ovation, 34,000 bugs crowding into the spacious ballyd and being forced to overflow into the field, the first time this year that has happened. The tale of the game was largely the defeat of Stanley Covaleskie, who was shot to the coop after two rounds o fattempted flinging. 82.000 Fans See Three Games. Estimates on the size of the throngs that attended the Cleveland-Chicago series place the number of fans who clicked the turnstiles at Sox park at 82,000. The American league has a rule that official attendance figures shall not be announced, hence this is nothing but guess work. The Sunday gathering was so great ropes had to be stretched. The capacity of the park is more than 30,000, hence it is safe to say that the Gleasons' victory was witnessed by 34,000 people. Saturday there was a crowd of about 26,000 out and on Friday, ladies' day, fully 22,000 watched play. Should Return Home Winners. Since the Sox need but eleven more victories to clinch the bag, the team should come home from its eastern swing that starts tomorrow, with the pennant in its hip pocket. Gleason's men tackle three second division teams and the fourth place Yankees. Following is the schedule: Sept. 9, 10, 11, at Washington. Sept. 12, 13, 15, at Philadelphia. Sept. 16, 17, 18, at New York. Sept. 19, 20, 22, at Boston. Johnson Champion Tennis Player Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 7.—California is again supreme as the home of the world's greatest tennis player for the season of 1919. On the courts of the west side club here yesterday afternoon William M. Johnston of San Francisco defeated William T. Tilden of Philadelphia in straight sets in the final match for the national turf singles championship. In eliminating the towering Philadelphia by scores of 6—4, 6—4, 6—3, Johnston placed himself upon a tennis pinnacle seldom reached by racket masters. With Tilden he was the sole survivor of 128 players who began the struggle for the title on Aug. 25. This field contained the famous Australian team, winners of the English champions at Wimbledon, as well --- as American players, conquerors in the A. E. F. tournaments abroad. Thus Johnston's victory stamps him unquestionably as the best tennis player competing in the game in any part of the world this year. Babe Ruth Breaks Home Run Record New York, Sept. 8.—Babe Ruth, the slugging pitcher of the Boston Red Sox, put over his twenty-sixth home run here today in the eighth inning of the first game of a double-header between the visitors and the Yankees. His blow sets a new record for all major leagues, beating out the mark set by Buck Freeman, twenty years ago. Ruth's mark was fully expected by the fans around the circuits of both leagues as he has been slipping across the long shots at every park his team had shown at. Indications now point to him getting enough additional complete circuit hits to raise the mark above the best known in the game, a thirty-two total by a player in the Pacific Coast league. Ruth hit two home runs yesterday for the Red Sox but they were in an exhibition game and did not count in the official record. American League Secrets Are Bared New York, Sept. 7—Efforts to ascertain whether Ban Johnson, president of the American league, knew that Pitcher Carl Mays had been traded by the Boston club to New York, when he ordered his suspension as "disciplinary action," failed at yesterday's hearing before trial of the New York club's suit against Johnson for damages alleged to have been suffered because of the Mays order. The hearing began after a number of postponements before George J. Gillespie, referee, and will be continued on Sept. 11, to which date adjournment was taken. Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Colonel T. L. Huston of the New York club attended the examination of Johnson. League Control at Stake Control of the American league is said to depend on the result of Johnson's trial, and the hearing yesterday was regarded as the opening gun in the battle for supremacy between club owners and Johnson, who testified that he has been head of the league for eighteen years. Johnson was asked more than one hundred questions touching on his knowledge of Mays' conduct while with the Boston club and the action Johnson took regarding it. His first knowledge of Mays' "desertion of the Boston club" was a verbal report by the umpire, he said. He said that he waited for the Boston club to suspend Mays "as primary jurisdiction was vested in the local club," but stated that he had no intention at that time of suspending Mays if Boston did not do so. Johnson Owns Cleveland Stock Johnson admitted that he issued the order suspending Mays two days after the New York club had acquired the pitcher, adding that he "notified Mr. Barrow, manager of the Boston club." Questions as to when Johnson first learned that other clubs were dickering for Mays were successfully objected to by Johnson's counsel. Efforts to introduce the constitution of the Cleveland baseball club, of which Johnson is a stockholder, met with successful opposition. Johnson testified that the Cleveland club was capitalized at $500,000 and now had a bonded indebtedness of $60,000. In the spring of 1916, he said, when the club was taken over from five bankers in Cleveland, the club owed the league $22,000. Johnson said he at that time put up $100,000 in cash and got $50,000 in stock from the club and a like amount of James Dunn's stock. He added that he now holds $58,000 Cleveland club stock. Baseball Players Must Pay Income Tax in New York State Albany, N. Y., Sept. 9—Professional baseball players and umpires, no matter what their club affiliations may be, who participate in games played in New York state this year, will be subject to the provisions of New York's new income tax law, Comptroller Eugene M. Travis ruled today. This means, it was explained at the comptroller's office, that players and umpires of the National, American and International leagues and others similarly situated, whose residences and home teams are located in other states, will be required to pay an income tax on the money earned while they are playing in New York if this amounts to more than $1,000. Coincidentally, players and umpires of New York clubs will not be required to pay a tax on their salaries earned in games played outside the state. The decision was rendered in response to inquiries by baseball clubs that had previously been notified by the comptroller that the statutes require them to act as withholding agents and to deduct amount of tax due the state. The tax is payable next March on this year's incomes. New Track for New York City New York, Sept. 7.—Within two years there will be a new race course on Long Island unless the ideas of the promtoers are awry. It is proposed by a few capitalists to build a beautiful track about a mile from Long Beach and about forty minutes' ride on the Pennsylvania road from New York. The location is quite close to the Lido golf links. Already the land is acquired and, while the association has not yet been formed or a charter granted, it is sufficiently advanced to almost insure its consummation. Senator Reynolds is much interested in the scheme and with him are some prominent horsemen and wealthy racing enthusiasts. The location is one that will be most acceptable to the patrons of racing and ideal for a race course, but it will take same time to develop and build, hence the prediction it will hardly be utilized until 1921. According to authentic report it will not take the place of Jamaica as at first reported, but will be an independent organization. There is room for such an institution to fill in the lawful time allotted to racing in this state, which can begin racing on April 15 and continue until November 15, with not more than forty days' sport at any individual track. Work will begin on the ground in the way of draining and foundation, but, Long Beach being of a sandy nature, it will take much time before suitable ground work can be formed. That the track will be accepted into the ranks of the Jockey club there is little question, there being at least one of the members concerned in its welfare, as well as some wealthy individuals. New Record in the American League During the off-days an able statistician sat down and figured out a new record in the American league, the same being set by Hap Felsch, than whom there is no whomer in center field. This worthy has started fourteen double plays this year and besides that initiated a triple slaughter. The old mark was made by Bert Shotton when he was a member of the Browns back in 1913. Now he is with the Cardinals. The fleet-footed Felsch has found the Red Sox the easiest people to double en route. Six times his strong right arm has passed the baseball to associates who tagged a red-legged person as he tried to skid into a base. Cleveland was next easiest, falling victim four times. The casting of Mr. Felsch may prove a material factor in the world's series. Possibly the Reds, not being aware of his prowess, will attempt to go from hither to you and will be eliminated at some critical period of a contest. Then again his reputation may precede him, all of which will contribute to the success of the alabaster hose. Triple Play Made Against Washington Here is a record of Felsch's achievements in the double and triple play line: Double Plays Against Boston—6—Felsch to Gandil, Felsch to E. Collins, Felsch to Schalk, Felsch to Lynn, Felsch to Weaver, Felsch to Risberg to Gandil. Against Cleveland—4—Felsch to Gandil, Felsch to Weaver, Felsch to Schalk (2). Against Detroit—2—Felsch to E. Collins, Felsch to Gandil. Against St. Louis—1—Felsch to Gandil. Against Washington—1—Felsch to Lynn. Triple Play Against Washington—Felsch to Ris- 7 berg to Weaver to Kerr to E. Collins. It will be observed in the instance of the Boston club that Felsch played no favorites. His accurate throws cut down opponents at first, second and third bases and at the plate. He appears to qualify as an all-around free-and-easy exterminator. There is nothing weak about the arms of Joe Jackson and Nemo Leibold and Jawn Collins, but Felsch's extraordinary skill rather sets his associates in the shade.

Looks Like Reds,but the White Sox Spoiled It Before This is what the dope says: When the title games are between western clubs the winner is almost invariably the club representing the National. In 1906 the Chicago Cubs were beaten by the Chicago White Sox. In 1907 and 1908 the Detroit Tigers In 1907 and 1908 the Detroit Tigers were beaten by the Chicago Cubs. In 1909 the Detroit Tigers were beaten by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Three out of four wins for the National, therefore, when West meets West. And then the five-year dope works out for the National, too, with the Pirates at the top of the heap in 1909 and the Braves monarchs of all they surveyed in 1914. In 1904 there was nothing stirring. However, it will take more than dope to win the world's series of 1919. Probably the Reds will go into it with the greatest number of friends and well-wishers—not that Moran's men are more popular than Kid Gleason's, but because it is invariably a practice to side with the under dog. Speed Boat Regatta for Chicago in 1920 Chicago yachtsmen, headed by Sheldon Clark, at a preliminary meeting yesterday decided to hold a big speed boat regatta here in the third week of August, 1920. At a meeting to be held later this month definite plans for the meet will be drawn up and a strong campaign started to get entries from the United States, Canada and Europe. The meet as at present planned will cover a week and will comprise a program of races for various classes of speed boats and cruisers for a prize list never before equalled. A trophy will be awarded the winner of the championship contest of the meet and awards will be given the winners in the various classes. Cruisers will play a greater part in the regatta than in any of the past as the trend of the speed boat game lately has been to develop a fast express cruiser that can be used to some purpose rather than a boat that is good for nothing but racing and only for smooth water. The contests will be held inside the north breakwater over a two and a half mile course laid out between it and the municipal pier. This will enable hundreds of thousands to view the contests.

In fact, probable, that at least he will be the runner-up to the great Man o' War, for he has twice beaten Cleopatra, considered to be the pick of the Karrick collection. This is the opinion of many experts and horsemen who have witnessed the work and running of Dominique. They do not declare themselves with confidence that Dominique will beat Man o' War, but are quite positive he will give him a good race. "I have timed Dominique a quarter in better than 22 seconds," said Hildreth while at Saratoga, "and that is about as fast as a horse can be expected to run." Mr. Hildreth is not the only person who has seen Dominique work fast; in fact, he has shown quite as much speed as Man o' War in the first half of his races, though not carrying quite as much weight. "Dominique has two things to prove," said one of the best handicappers in the business. "He must prove his weight-carrying ability, also endurance. Many horses can run a half mile pretty fast, but when it comes to carrying out the big contract they are not there. Dominique will have to beat Man o' War in a real contest before I can give him the preference. He may do it, but I am from Missouri." In the Futurity Man o' War will have to carry 130 pounds, with 122 on Dominique. Judging from Wednesday's race Dominique will be suited with any kind of going, as will Man o' War, so that no excuse can be forthcoming in the Futurity, no matter what track conditions prevail. Dominique has been beaten but once by Paul Jones, and that was due to a slight attack of bucked shins. Since his recovery he has shown to be built of high class material. He was bred by J. N. Camden and sold for $150 when a yearling. Golden Broom, the fine-looking Sweeper-Zuna colt, which suffered a mishap in his last race at Saratoga, will be punch-fired during the winter and rested until next spring.

The contest will start on that day with three double headers following a motor truck parade through the loop. Drawings for the opening round will be held at a meeting in the Hotel La Salle at which all of the managers interested will be required to appear and file a list of their players. A new angle to the Litsinger race was supplied today by announcement that the players in fraternal leagues will play an elimination series of their own, separate from the regular schedule with the winner clashing with the commercial winner at the finish for the cup. Commissioner Bain has agreed to allow the Litsinger officials to rope off their games and will allow the trucks to park alongside of the base lines after the parade.

Coombs, Pennsylvania football player, who was end on the All-America team of 1899, has just returned to the United States from France, where he was a "Y" athletic director, with the news that the German children are the best baseball pupils abroad. "While in Europe I watched carefully to see how baseball was catching on with the youngsters of the various countries," said Coombs, "and I was amazed to find that the most proficient players are among the German boys in the occupied territory. Everywhere you go there you will see the German school boys with stones for bases, hand made baseballs and sticks for bats, playing our game much the same as it is played among the youth of the United States. "The children of Italy, France and England are only dabbling at it, and to my mind making only ordinary progress." Ex-Cub Beats Ex-Sox Shuffling Phil Douglas, former Cub, outlasted Ed Corey, former White Sox, and Logan Squares trimmed the Magnets, 5 to 1, at Logan Square.

Colored Soldiers Win Team Match Tyro Eligibility of Marines Is Questioned. Seagirt, N. J., Sept. 13.—Four team matches and one individual contest were on today's program at the state rifle tournament here, and in addition four matches which began yesterday were finished today. The U. S. Marines won the company team match tyro this morning with a three man aggregate of 146. The second separate company, Negro of the New Jersey State Militia, Jersey City, won second place with 130, outranging the machine gun company of the Sixth New Jersey Infantry, which had a similar score on the long range. Co. F, 71st New York, was forth with 128, and Co. F, Third New Jersey Battalion, militia, fifth with 98. It was shot at 200 and 500 yards, five shots at each range. When a question regarding the eligibility of the marine corps team, shooting in the company team match tyro, was raised, the marines, although the winners, withdrew, giving the first place to the Jersey City Negro troops. With all scores in there was no change in yesterday's results in the Libbey match at 1,100 yards. Corp. Raymond Coulter of the marines won first place with 95 out of a possible 100 and Sergt. Ernest Conerd Mannis of the marines was second with 94. The Seventy-first regiment match, shot at 300, 500 and 600 yards, slow fire, was won by the Eighth Cavalry, with a score of 1,139. The U. S. Marine Corps was second with 1,107 and the Seventy-first regiment of New York, third, 1,059. Sergt. Theodore Crowley, U. S. M. C., won the "all comers expert match" with a 46 in a possible 50 in an extra string of ten shots after having tied James Laughlin, Taunton, Mass., and Ernest Erdmannsdorf, U. S. M. C., in the original ten-shot match. Major League Solution of the Draft A line on the major league solution of the minor league problem is furnished by the news that the New York Nationals have acquired a controlling interest in the Rochester club of the International League, writes Daniel in the New York Sun. The minors having declared their independence of the majors, denied the big leaguers' right to draft players and send them down under optional agreements, it behooves the majors to look about for sources for players. It is one thing to be ready to spend a lot of money for the few minor league stars who come into the market, and it is another for the major league club to have its own farm with its own players and its own manager, who always will have the interest of the major league at heart. It remains to be seen if the minors having declined to take any of the majors' players for development and return, will consent to harbor major league farms. The whole thing is a KENWOOD 2452 4821 South State Street Successor to F. A. Rawlins sad tangle for which there is no earthly excuse. The so-called war should be stopped quickly, for it is hurting the game more than the minors appreciate. It is doing the majors some harm, but is injuring the minors most of all and developing ills which may kill off the minor leagues. The young player no longer has any incentive to go into the minors, for he knows that the chances under present conditions of his going up are greatly reduced. Jack Dunn, manager of the Baltimore Internationals, who is the strongest opponent of the major leagues, announces that he already has signed all but two of his players for next season in order to forestall any movement on the part of the majors to press the right of draft. He declares that he will not sell a single player to the majors. This may be true and it may not, for Dunn never has been known to refuse money. However, it presents to the player a hopeless situation, particularly in view of the salaries they pay in the International. How are players going to put forth their best efforts and put their hearts into their work when their own manager an nounces that no matter how good they may be they have no chance to get that promotion to which their ability entitles them? It's all wrong and the minors know it. Wait, the Show Is Not Over; Not Yet but Soon The first part of the program of the promised big show to be put on in the American League when West met West for a pennant decision has not been exactly up to some of the advance notices—neither Detroit nor Cleveland has made any such gain on Chicago as would indicate a spectacular and thrilling finish—the White Sox have held their lead practically as it existed when the intra-sectional clashes opened. But neither have they gained. That should be enough to satisfy those who have set themselves for the soul-stirring climax, and the waterword still is Wait! This is only the first episode. Now begins the second, and the grand finale that may knock 'em out of their seats possibly will be all that the most exacting could ask. However, there has been a slight change in the cast. The New York Yankees have succeeded the St. Louis Brown's as the fourth member of the company that is putting on the big performance and, as they would say in the "profession," the cast has been considerably strengthened thereby. Also it makes a more representative combination—no longer is it an exclusively all-western show, since the Brown's have been shifted to the No. 2 company. The Yankees want it known that though out of the big honors they still are bidders for a place inside the money. Cleveland and Detroit still insist, of course, that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the big prize. Perhaps, perhaps—well, we will wait for the second episode and the promised climax, but even the most enthusiastic boosters of these would-be limelighters will have to admit their favorites will have to hurry. Atty. Richard Westbrook Retained by P. and P. Association Owing to a recent attack of rheumatism it was thought a fortnight ago that the services of this able attorney would not be procured. When approached by representatives of this august body and told of the condition of affairs, this fighting lawyer threw away his cane, and, like the afflicted of old, took up his couch and walked to aid suffering humanity. His office is overflowing with compliments for his unselfishness in this regard. White Sox Tailors EXPERT CLEANERS AND DYERS Work Called for and Delivered 42 W. 35th St. Douglas 9985 Ernest H.

"I'm surprised that a person of your sense should be willing to listen to all that trash about having a sympathetic nature and being about to take a journey and meeting some one who will mean much in your life's happiness, and so forth and so on."

American Protectorate Wanted for German-African Colonies. President Jernigan, of the Race Congress, recently appeared before the senate committee on foreign relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world and emphasized the importance of having an American protectorate established over the African colonies wrested from the tyranny of the German Empire.

At the September term of the Desha circuit court, which has just closed, two Negroes were sentenced to the electric chair for murder, two were given long sentence terms in the penitentiary for murder and 16 others were convicted on felonies and sentenced to the penitentiary, terms ranging from one to seven years. Dr. J. C. Young, a veterinary surgeon of McGehee, charged with carnal abuse, secured a continuance owing to the absence of important witnesses. A girl, aged 15, is said to be the complainant. Fred Mayo, alias "Shotgun." was convicted of killing Sam Gigglio, Italian restaurant keeper of McGehee, on the night of May 1, 1919, and was sentenced to the electric chair. Three other Negroes who were indicted in connection with the case, will be tried at the next term of court. A record for prosecutions was made by Prosecuting Attorney E. W. Brockman, who represented the state in 22 felony cases, which resulted in 20 convictions, one acquittal and one mistrial. Judge W. B. Sorrels and Prosecuting Attorney Brockman returned to Pine Bluff early today, and will leave for Star City Sunday, where the Lincoln county circuit court convenes Monday morning.

"The black man has given notice," said A. Wheley, New York Negro, "that what he has suffered in the past will not be endured in the future. He means business now. There can be no compromise." William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, secretary of the league, voicing a similar opinion, said the "oppression" of the Negro in America was reaching a point where no one could be sure "that our land will be a land of peace." Neither witness was questioned as to what he had in mind by these declarations. Only five of the seventeen committee members, all of them Republicans, attended the meeting. An amendment to give the United States a mandatory over the Kamerun, a German colony in Africa, was requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a Negro of Cleveland, O., representing the National Race Congress. American Negroes, he said, could be recruited to police the territory under white officers. A petition that all the African colonies taken from Germany be "divided between Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia," was filed by the League of Darker Peoples of the World. Two amendments were proposed by the Equal Rights league. One would provide in the League of Nations covenant that "the members would agree and vouchsafe to their own citizens the publication of full liberty, rights of democracy and protection of life, without restriction or distinction based on race, color, creed or previous conditions." The other would add a similar guarantee as a separate section of the treaty. Chairman Lodge put into the committee record a statement by Dr. W. E. Macklin, formerly of Nanking University, declaring that through its foothold in Shantung and by reason of extra-territorial privileges, the Japanese government was re-establishing throughout China the opium and morphine trade which Chinese statesmen had wiped out after years of effort. Chicago Peace and Protective Assn.Hold Meeting at Armory On Monday night, Sept. 1, the Chicago Peace and Protective association held a mass meeting at the armory. A large audience was present and the capacity of the hall was overtaxed. The purpose of the meeting was to express publicly, disapproval of District Attorney Hoyne's charge and methods in the recent riots, and also to show their sincere appreciation of the special grand jury, and to have a special prosecutor in place of Hoyne against those who have been indicted for alleged offenses during the race clash. The audience was very critical and seemed to qualify and reserve some things. $600 was given toward the cause. Notary Public Tel. Oakland 1061 J. S.

J. Twentieth Annual Convention Great Success. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 6.—The twentieth annual session of the I. B. P. O. E. W. began their annual session in Atlantic City on Monday morning at the headquarters of Lighthouse lodge No. 9. Delegates representing different states are larger in number than ever. Many inactive lodges have returned to the fold and many new lodges have been instituted, thus making the convention more largely attended in 1919 than ever before. The city is thronged with enthusiastic admirers and visitors, in general and the colors of the order combined with the American flag constitutes the principal decorations. Mayor Bacharach made the order welcome in behalf of the citizens of Atlantic City in the most enthusiastic and patriotic manner, and even the spacious auditorium of Lighthouse lodge is not capable of admitting the vast throng craving entrance. The annual sermon by Grand Chaplain Rev. George W. Avant of New Berne, N. C., and the address of Stewart E. Hoyt, together with that of Grand Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott, were masterpieces of oratory and as agreed by all present appropriate for the occasion and for the historic Price Memorial church on Ohio ave. The selections rendered by Beacon Liquid quartet and Oriole Glee club and that of Samuel P. Hemsley of Monumental lodge were appropriate and were well received. Atlantic City, noted as the city of conventions, has thus far delivered the goods, and the further details of the convention will appear in the next edition of the Amsterdam News.

Cincinati Ohio The Colored Business Men of the city gave a picnic at Highland Grove, Labor day. The club had their printing done by a white firm, a hint to the wise is sufficient. A soldier came to the city the other day, looking for a place to stop. I referred him to the Sterling hotel. He said, "What do you think I am, a millionaire" He finally went in the hotel. In a few minutes we saw him placing his name on the register. Have you noticed that in late years, that whenever a police officer in Cincinnati has resigned or his vacancy has been caused by death, that there is no other colored officer appointed to their places? Why does not the Negro Civic league take this matter up? The Cuban Stars and Rube Foster's American Giants played four days to fairly good-sized crowds. While here the two teams stopped at the Hotel Sterling. The Hotel Sterling should have a newsstand and sell the leading Negro newspapers and magazines.

Girls at National hall was the grandest affair given this season. The hall was packed to his capacity, with many visiting people from all over the country. Mr. W. A.

Professor Washington, who is the director, can't be beat for his dreamy waltzes and other numbers. Miss Marie Asey is president of the club. SEASONED By LYDIA L. RCBERTS. "Dear me," sighed Cora Brown as she cleared away the dishes. "Chester does not eat much lately. I wish he had the big appetite he used to have. I suppose he is worried over business. It's a dreadful mixture of high prices, strikes and uncertainties, it seems to me. Things are getting worse. I am afraid. Chester used to talk so cheerfully at the supper table, but now he just nods an answer to me and thinks and eats, only he doesn't eat enough. There. I forgot to tell him that Dudley broke the cellar window today." The telephone rang and Corn answered. "Tis is Mary," said her cousin. "Will you come over this evening for a little while? Fred has gone out and I'm lonesome. I want to show you my new dress, too." "Yes, I'll run over before I wash my dishes," replied Corn. "Chester brought work home so he won't miss me, and the children are in bed. I'll be right over." It was only a short walk to her cousin's home, and soon the two women were discussing new styles and comparing prices. "I must go now," said Cora after an hour had passed. "there are still my dishes to be washed and Chester gets lonesome if I'm out long." "Let's have a cup of tea and some of my fresh cake," urged Mary. "It is a new recipe and you might like it." "I didn't eat much supper," sighed Mary. "I had a good supper ready and Fred ate a lot, but he told me of an accident he saw on the way home. It seems impossible to save much nowadays on Fred's salary, and I get so worried when I think of the expenses coming. Somehow the supper didn't taste as good as I thought it was going to." "I should say so," said Cora indignant. "The idea of Fred telling you all those dreadful things at suppertime. That's a nice kind of a way to season your meal." "Oh, he didn't mean any harm," eagerly said Mary. "He knows I am interested in anything he sees. I always tell him all the little household happenings, too, either troubles or joys, and it doesn't affect his appetite." "Yes, I tell Chester everything that has happened through the day," agreed Cora. "It keeps a man in touch with the home, and I think they should know all we have to put up with, but his appetite—oh!" she stopped suddenly and sat thinking. "Well, let us have our tea now," said Mary. The next night when Chester Brown came home Cora hurried to the door to meet him. "Hello, honey, how's the day?" he asked in his usual cheery way. "Ive had a fine day," answered Cora brightly, as they sat down to the good-smelling meal. "The work has gone smoothly. I got a nice long letter from Edith that I'll read you presently and baby cut his last tooth." "Good work!" smiled Mr. Brown. "How much is butter now?" he asked a few minutes later. "It is five cents a pound cheaper this week, and it is good butter, top," replied Cora. "Eggs are lower, also, and I am so glad we all like both those things, because they are so healthful for us," she continued cheerily. "I used to pity Aunt Nora when she was trying every way to coax her thin little boy to eat nourishing things." "Well, we certainly don't have to coax our boys to eat," ruefully smiled Chester. "No, bless 'em," laughed Cora, "and the grocery to pay keeps the doctor away. I asked Dudley today if he ever, ever, got full, and he said: 'Oh, yes, mamma, I'm full twice a year, any way, on Thanksgiving and Christmas.'" "Ha! Ha!" laughed Chester Brown, "he is a witty little rascal." "Yes," said Cora, watching him as she tailed and much pleased to see the way the vegetables were disappearing. "I took Arnold over to Mrs. Denton's today." "Have the boys been good today?" asked Chester as Cora brought in the dessert. "Yes, indeed," she answered quickly and remorsefully watched his face brighten. "Arnold wiped the dishes and Dudley swept the piazza for me. I thought I would teach them to help, now they are old enough. They like the responsibility and I praised them and told them I would tell you all about it." "Why, that's fine," said Chester, looking proud and pleased. "There need be no spankings tonight, then." "Oh, no, they are too big for that. I find they listen to my explanations and really seem to understand why they must not do things now." "Thank goodness," sighed Chester. "They got into so much trouble last week I felt as if I had ceased to be their father and was simply the chief spanker of the family." "I will read you this letter now," said Cora. "It is very interesting because it tells about the ranch life." "Children are great laugh-makers," chuckled Mr. Brown. "You look mighty nice tonight, wife," he continued. "I haven't eaten so much supper for a long time, seems to me. Tasted extra good tonight; did you season it any different, dear?" "Yes, dear," smiled Cora, as he threw a kiss for thanks. "It is my special new brand." seasoned it with love mixed with understanding and spiced with cheerfulness. I've decided to use that kind right along." (Copyright, 1919, McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THE HAT FASHION 10 There are a number of new velvet and suede surfaced cloths, each with a novel name of its own, that are being exploited this fall in many garments. Some of them are very much like duvetyn, others resemble chiffon velvet, and others still are to be classed with heavy erect-pile velvet. They are of wool and made by the same looms that turn out wonderful wool furs or fur fabrics, and they appear in all the new displays of fall coats and suits. In the picture above, an evening wrap that won the distinction of honorable mention at a recent fashion show is shown, made of one of these fabrics called "woolvel." The name amounts to a definition, since it is a heavy, supple velvet of wool that makes a fine medium for the strong, brilliant orange color now parading in the limelight of fashionable favor. It is not usual to use this color for making entire garments, but it appears everywhere in the decoration of millinery and in touches on frocks made in dark colors or black. But it is the part of evening wraps Types of Hats Long and short-napped beavers, felts and wool-fur hats account for the great majority of hats for little girls. Then there are velvet tams, conspicuously classy in the best grades, and some trimmed hats for little misses. Nearly all hats for children are quite plain, with a band and sash of ribbon for trimming in most cases, or a bit of feather ornament on velvet tams. But, to suit the taste of those who are not in sympathy with these plain styles, there are others that make up a very interesting minority in the displays of children's hats. One of these is shown here, together with two long-napped beaver models and a practical tam of wool fur or plush. Far and away the most popular of the various beaver shapes are made up of wide floppy-brimmed models and those with narrow drooping brims and square crowns, like those shown in the picture. Between these two widths of brim there are some very attractive shapes with round crown and brims that curve upward (in the fashion of a French sailor hat) and are moderately wide. All of them are finished with band or sash of ribbon. The tam shown is one of many, with crowns more or less full and made of duvetyn, velvet, plush, and other materials. A dressy bonnet for a tiny girl, as pictured, is covered with satin shirred to the brim and crown. The wide col- ```markdown ``` this season to be gorgeous, and colors cannot be too pronounced or too brilliant for them. The very wide and luxurious collar of opossum fur in natural gray tones, and the black satin lining, are items in the composition of this flashing wrap that give it dignity and character. Aside from its fashionable color and beauty of texture this wrap merited its honorable mention among many noteworthy competitors because it is wonderfully well draped. It arrives at unusual gracefulness by the simplest means, merely a few plaits and very clever cutting that reveal the fine hand of an expert. There is no limit to the extravagance of evening wraps in richness of material and in the splendor of their luxurious fur collars and trimmings. These new fabrics are more moderately priced, but equal to holding their own in company with more expensive but not more sumptuous rivals. Julia Bottomly for Juveniles lar of shirred velvet is finished at the base with a quilling of ribbon with bow and ends at the back, and a cluster of three little roses nestle in the ribbon quilling. Among the trimmings which find most favor, because they are most appropriate for misses' hats, are pompons of wool or fur and flat "pinwheels" of ostrich flues. These appear on Blue Devil tams with fine effect. For older misses, those nearing the debutante class, there is greater variety than in hats for younger girls. Hatters' plush, metallic and metal brocade facings on upturned brims, and brilliant colors in shapes toned down by dark ribbon trims, are outstanding features in styles for the "subdeb." Feathers on Frocks. Dance frocks are showing "finer feathers" than they were very recently. The trimming may be either ostrich, choux, flower effects or beads. Slender wisps are seen more than the fringes, and are always seen in contrasting color. Long-Sleeved Nighties In a recent showing of Philippine underwear, some long-sleeved night-gowns were seen. The Guilty One By IZOLA FORRESTER (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). The morris chair was deep and broad, with mahogany frame and heavy leather cushions. It was the favorite seat of two in the house of Evans, Henrietta, the little gray marmoset, and Mr. Huntly Evans, her master. Standing by the west part of the upper bay window it overlooked the expanse of parks and reservoir, and caught the sunset glow nightly. Sometimes Jacqueline, Huntly's sister, used to wish she might forget the look in their eyes as they stared out at the park, just like prisoners who catch a glimpse of fair fields and hills from behind the bars. It had been that way ever since Huntly had come up from Buenos Aires and the specialist had told him there was little hope of his recovery from the mountain fever. And, since then, each day he had visibly grown weaker, and Henrietta had seemed in her dumb, piteous way, to sense the change. She would perch on the back of the chair, just above his shoulder, and watch his face with her strange, brilliant, anxious eyes, as if she understood his troubles, and he abstractedly would sometimes stroke the silken fur of the little marmoset, as if he, too, found comfort in her sympathy. Jacqueline frankly did not like her, any more than she liked her mistress, the gay Senorita Alvarez. They had met her first on Huntyl's trip up to the Alvarez mines in Ecuador, and had been lavishly entertained at her father's estate there. "Her name is Signa," Huntly had told her the first night of their visit. "I never dreamt girls could look like her, Jack, did you? "She is too exotic, like one of those flaming mountain flowers." Jacqueline had demurred. "Don't be so susceptible to just beauty. Hunt." But he had loved Signa and had risked all before he had known her a ferntight. And in return she had $ She Would Perch on the Back of the Chair. laughed at him, told him she would never marry an American, and had given him Henrietta to solace him. Then had come the long spell of fever and the trip back home. "Of course," the specialist told Jacqueline, "you must know he has some trouble preying on his mind. If we could lift that and give him a spur toward health, a will to live, as it were, he would probably get back to the normal." She had not answered. He had written to Sigma often, and not a word had come back in reply. The mall was placed on the little teakwood stand in the lower hall. She always saw it first after the maid had laid it there. An never was there one from Ecuador Henrietta seemed to know why she watched for one. She would follow her downstairs and linger white she glanced over the letters, sometimes springing up beside her on the tand and eyeling them eagerly. But it days passed without word, and Hunt grew gradually worse, until there one the wireless brief out of the bye, as it were. "Arrive Monday." SIGNA." She dared not give it a run at once. The shock might hurt A, but gradually she broke the nce, while Henrietta perched on the fair back and almost seemed to un stand her mistress was coming ne to them. "But it's so absurd when I haven't heard from her," unty protested brokenly. "She r it have written." "Wait until she mes and then see," warned his sister tenderly. It was a little last ten when Senorita Alvarez ared. Her father was with her, too, tender and dapper and somewhat hot, as Jacqueline remembered the lit silver magnate. Signa cast her saits from her on a stand in the lower all, and stood like some glowing godess of the South, smiling down on her hostess. "You s I have kept my word," she exclaim. "Is he better, Jack? 2 could not wait. I made my father bring me to him. He has received all my letters?" "Not a single one," protested Jacqueline reproachfully, and then there came a leaping gray form like a shadow past her, into Signa's arms, chattering, burrowing affectionately. "Ah, precious, how are you?" laughed Signa delightedly. "See how she knows me? She loves the perfume of the jasmine I always have about me. See?" But Jacqueline was leading the way upstairs to Huntly's room knowing well she brought him a speedy cure. He stood up from the morris chair to greet them, his eyes fairly devouring the sight of the girl he loved, when Henrietta slipped from her arms and made for the chair, digging and poking away industriously and eagerly under the leather cushion. One by one she drew forth letters, six of them, some chewed lovingly around the edges, others merely slipped away for safe keeping. And each envelope carried the faint scent of cape jasmine. "Oh, the pet!" cried Sigma, excitedly. "See what she has done, hiding all my letters to you. Huntly, because she thought they were mine. At home she would take my gloves and handkerchiefs, anything at all, and put them away for me, and she knew the perfume. Isn't she clever?" But Huntly eyed the little marmoset with a malediction in his gaze which only Jacqueline understood. Days and weeks of waiting and loneliness, hopelessness, because of Henrietta's loyalty to cape jasmine. "You shall not read them now," Sigma said; "not until afterward. But you do not know why I am here. She laughed and spread out her hands widely before him. "I come all this way, senor, to tell you I have changed my mind. If you do not mind, I have decided to marry an American." Henrietta looked from one to the other and climbed contentedly to the top of the morris chair, with the last letter clutched in her little black paw. OWES PEN-NAME TO PRINTER George Russell Explains Why His Writings Are Signed With Mysterious Pseudonym "A. E." One of the most interesting figures of Irish literary and political life just now is George Russell, perhaps better known as "A. E."—a curiously intriguing pseudonym. The mysterious initials have a strange origin. A dreamer and artist from boyhood, in his Armagh home, he began at the age of seventeen or eighteen to paint a series of pictures of his dream world to illustrate the history of man from his origin in the mind of the Creator. First, there were vague, monstrous forms, then figures of men-beasts and men-birds, and finally the divine idea, the perfect form of man in space. Young Russell called this series "The Birth of Aeon," a reminiscence, probably, of some of his gnostic readings, and so impressed he was he with the idea that he resolved straightway to adopt the word "Aeon" as his pseudonym. A printer, however, of one of Russell's earliest writings, finding the hard writing not easy to decipher, set up only the first two letters, with a question mark for the rest. Russell, correcting the proof, deleted the question mark, leaving the two vowels standing, and thus he has signed his writings ever since—Munsey's Magazine. Noted Early American. Martin Parmer was one of the first of the federal Indian agents in Missouri. He was appointed to the place because he had proved that he had a very considerable influence over the Indians, with whom he had many battles when he got came to the state. It is related of him that he had as his guest an Indian who was called Two Heart because he had killed a white man and eaten his heart. Parmer prepared or the Indian a great meal of meat and then stood over him with a knife compelling him to eat the whole of the repast, which proved fatal just as Parmer had intended. As he had become a citizen of Texas his favorite bear dog dog and hosed 50 miles for a clergyman to oblige at the interment, the minister, knowing it was a dog and presuming it to be a member of the Parmer family—Houston Post. True Happiness. Did you ever read the "Book of Kings"—Ecclesiastes—written by Solomon, the richest, wisest and most powerful man of Biblical times, keeping in mind that it is the story of a man searching for happiness? Try it, if you haven't. There was a man who had but to raise his hand in token of a wish and that wish would be fulfilled if it were physically possible. He tried pleasure, labor, the attainment of knowledge, etc., only to find them of no avail in bringing happiness to his heart. Then he turned to the helping of others and found thereby the true happiness which had eluded him in all other trials. It is true today as it was in Solomon's time—the only real happiness is in service to your fellowmen.—Omaha News. The One. The farmer was showing his visitor or his cows. "Here's a fine Jersey," offered the man from town. "Yes," agreed the farmer, "but right now I'm having considerable trouble with her. I'm trying to get her to go dry, but she won't." The visitor laughed. "Isn't that the one you told me you bought down in Vigo county?" he asked. She was the one.—Indianapolis News. A Economy Corner By twos and threes, with arms entwined, schoolgirls are saunting through the streets and gladdening our worldworn hearts. It seems that their slender, supple bodies were never so fittingly and becomingly clad as they are this fall. Since mothers have grown discriminating, and specialists have devoted their energies to providing clothes for the young person who goes to school and otherwise occupies her time, we have apparel for the young miss that is a thing of beauty and a joy till she outgrows it. Any of the plain and substantial dress materials of wool are suited to the very pretty frock for a girl of sixteen (or somewhere near that age) which is so adequately shown in the photograph above. Tricotine or serge and gabardine rank together in point of serviceability. The frock pictured is of serge, in dark blue, and is brightened up with a vest of tricolette in American Beauty shade that has three groups of three tucks each to embellish it. There is a great vogue for this color combination in schoolgirls' dresses this fall, the red usually showing in pipings and in small insets. In this frock the bodice turns back at each side of the vest in straight revers bound with silk braid, like the frock A Beauty doctoring has become a recognized profession, and the use of toliens, cleansing creams, and many other toilet preparations, is an established habit with thousands of women. There is no getting away from the fact that complexion and hair respond to the care and treatment that counteract the ravages of sun, wind, work and, to a great extent, time. Those who have most successfully combated these enemies of beauty say that it is the little time (say a quarter of an hour) that is given EVERY DAY to the complexion or the hair, the regular blyearly visit to the dentist, whether there is an apparent trouble with the teeth or not, and the ability to avoid worry, that has kept them looking young and fair for many more years than their negligent sisters. Care of the Hands Hands get considerable rough treatment, but some women manage to keep them sightly notwithstanding the housework they must do. The homely and inexpensive oils, acids and powders that anyone has will answer as well as any others in the care of the hands. First of all the hands must be thoroughly cleaned before treatment for any defect is applied to them. A scouring brush should be used with a mild soap and lukewarm water every night, and apply it vigorously, drying the hands thoroughly; use a teaspoonful of borax to a basin of water. Any simple soap may be used, but strong kinds should be avoided. A nail brush is necessary, and an inexpensive one will be as cleansing as a costly one. As soon as the hands are wet they --- in color, and there are three snappy little brass buttons set on each rever. The use of braid and buttons in addition to the introduction of a colored vest makes an unusual amount of trimming for a dress of this kind, but it is well-planned and not overdone, very youthful in character, and it is more than likely to please its wearer. The length of the skirt in a dress like this varies a little according to the age and figure of the girl it is made for. If she is under sixteen it will be about that of the frock pictured. A neat-looking box plait at the front, with wide palts at each side and in the back, take care of the fullness about the waist, and a braid blinding and three buttons finish off the opening at the side. The bodice and skirt are set together under a wide, plain belt of the goods that buttons at the left side. Narrow silk braid is considerably used for finishing frocks for girls as well as suits for them and for grown-ups. It appears in neat rows and as a binding with better effects than ever, but it must be faultlessly placed and sewed. Julia Bottomly economy Corner must be lathered, and then the brush rubbed over the soap and the palms and backs scrubbed, brushing so the skin will not be irritated, yet sufficiently brisk to take out the dirt. To Whiten Hands. A very good bleaching paste can be used at night, avoiding the nails, with a pair of kid gloves worn over it. Snowy hands are produced by dipping them in almond oil; let them absorb all the oil, and then dip them in French chalk and wear a pair of loose old gloves that night. Another plan is to wash the hands in peroxide of hydrogen, letting it dry on them, and then rub on cold cream and wear old kid gloves. In the morning wash off with lemon juice, vinegar or cider, hot water, and then a disappearing cream. Stained Hands. Cream of tartar will remove dye stains from the hands. Rub with soap and apply the powder thoroughly. Julia Bottomly The Linen Frock. Shown side by side with frocks of batiste, organdie, dotted swiss and chambray, there are the loveliest frocks of linen in white and delicate colors. Both the fine soft linen, almost like the French handkerchief linen, and the heavy coarse weave are liked. The heavier quality makes up beautifully into tailored dresses, suits or smocks. Hats are also made of this coarse linen. One lovely model was in a delicate shade of pink and was trimmed with a heavy cotton fringe. --- "BUDDY" By EVA GOLDBERG. Preparations were being made at "Idlers' Lodge" for the invasion of "The Jolly Ten." Polly French, their president, left on an earlier train than the other members, with plans for dressing up the crude bungalow and replacing isolation by a homelike atmosphere. Buddy Moore, her acquaintance of half an hour, she had already adopted as camp mascot, and the little fellow proved his worth by running errands in the locality so unfamiliar to the newcomer. "Now what a cozy touch that gives," Polly convinced herself, while she surveyed a corner where stood a settee upon which were arranged gayly-colored pillows. A picture here and there—several pennants tastefully distributed—what a transformation it made on the bare wall! While Buddy ran out to gather some wild flowers for her vase, the industrious girl undertook to repair a broken rocking-chair. Missing her aim, the hammer heavily struck her finger. My, but that hurt! What a fierce blow! And was the hand swelling? The happy youngster, with an armful of fresh posies, rumped in to display them. Excited Polly glanced at herself in bungalow attire, then at Bud. "Sonny, do you know where I can get a doctor? See what I've done! "I don't know, Miss Polly," he ventured with childlike hesitancy, "but I can go to the village and find out." "The village—bless your heart—that's half a mile down. You're an angel." And she stroked his crop of golden hair. "Aren't you n afraid to go all alone?" she inquired. "You can read a doctor's sign, of course." "Sure I can," he assured. "It says M. D., don't it? I can read—I'm seven now—in the second grade—we read hard books and write with ink, we do—" "All right dear, then remember—the first sign that reads M. D," she shouted as he ran towards the door. The little chap was half way down to the village when he passed a house whose brass doorplate attracted his eye. On it was displayed in large black lettering: M. D. CLARKE. Proprietor, Sunrise Studios. Spying the initials, and without attempting to decipher the rest, which was beyond his power, the youngster rang the bell and summoned the owner of that long title. A serious appearing young man approached him. "Miss French says for you to come right over—she's hurt herself and it aches dread-dreadfully," the boy announced without any ceremony. Morton D. Clarke was in a quandary. "French," he asked. "Who is she?" "You'd better hurry, 'cause she's afraid her hand's poisoned," the little messenger warned, ignoring the direct question. The artist followed the speedy little footsteps that led to the road which introduced "Idiers' Lodge" where the patient was now in severe pain. "Oh, doctor," she explained, upon meeting the hattress, breathless stranger. "I would have called at your office only that I am not acquainted with this town and so sent—" "Doctor? he interrupted, "but there must be some mistake, girlie. I'm no doctor, but an artist—up here for the summer. "Let me waste no time, though," he suggested when noticing the exposed wound; "perhaps I can help you by 'phoning for one.' In a moment he was gone. Returning from the station, Mr. Clarke assured Miss French that a physician would arrive in 10 minutes. In the meantime he tried to make her forget her suffering by his engaging manner and interesting conversation. "Now tell me," he urged, "who ever played a joke on me and gave you my name as being a doctor?" Buddy, overhearing this, amusingly vindicated himself by proving the existence of an M. D. on Clarke's name. Both Morton and Polly laughed heartily, and after medical attendance had given relief, she was better fitted to enjoy the event occasioned by well-meaning, innocent Buddy. Soon the artist very thoughtfully volunteered to finish the decorations about the cottage, and, by applying his artistic knowledge, great improvement did he achieve. How satisfied Polly was! And wouldn't the girls be surprised and delighted at the welcome sight! Nine tired vacationists greeted their president on the front porch, and one observing young lady, eyeing a man, whispered to Polly, "What, a flirtation already?" But in a short time everybody knew the reason for the man visitor's call. At the end of a well-spent vacation, everybody vowed their return in another season to that ideal spot. And so it was to be—only, were they gifted with the power to look ahead a year, they would foresee themselves as "The Jolly Nine," with a new president at the head, the former being Mrs. Clarke. And again, looking ahead, and peeking on the veranda of the "Sunrise Studios," they would hear Morton say to his wife, while recollecting the instance that brought them together, "And yet the folks say, 'what's in your name?'"

A PRIVATE BANK is a man who hangs out a sign that says "Banker" and as a rule no responsibility behind him and no capital of any kind. There is no law governing his actions and no law that protects the depositor. No sworn statements of conditions of funds deposited in Private Banks are required of him and no disinterested examinations by auditors are made for the protection of depositors. You give your money to the private Banker an he does with it just what he sees fit. In plain words, YOU HAVE LITTLE OR NO PROTECTION IN PRIVATE BANKS. A STATE BANK is an institution that is under STATE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION AND CONTROL. It must have at least a cash capital paid in of $200,000 and a substantial surplus. It must be examined by the Banking Departments of the State at least once a year, and it must make FIVE SWORN REPORTS OF ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION, ITS INVEST MENTS, and must at all times keep a liberal amount of all deposits in actual cash, THEREBY GUARANTEEING TO YOU PROTECTION and SAFEGUARD OF YOUR DEPOSITS.

In the leading role of Cecil De Mille's screen version of "The Admirable Crichton," Tom was shipwrecked off the rocky coast of Santa Cruz Island somewhere between Hollywood and Honolulu with a heavy loss of epidermis before he was rescued from the swirling waters of the Pacific. Then the sun and salt air caused an epidemic of facial blisters with Tom the leading victim. Then came the scenes in which the only apparel worn was constructed from goat skins and portions of his anatomy not hitherto affected underwent some scorching that made life miserable the rest of the time. A new male star is to illumine the film heavens before long in the husband of a well known screen personage. He is Bernard Durning, the handsome young husband of that very young luminary, Shirley Mason. "Bernie" had about six years experience with Edison and Metro in the directorial end of the game at which he was perfectly willing to remain, but the magnates declared that he was too good looking to be a director and drafted him for the actorial side.

Director "Mickey" is now engaged on the first of his own productions with pretty little Margery Daw as the star. It will be known as "The Eternal Three," the visualization of a Randall Parrish novel. Miss Stewart's next production is to be "The Yellow Typhoon," adapted from the story by Harold McGrath. A big success is often founded on a very little thing in filmland as well as in the outside business world. Something over a year ago Mary Pickford took a trip up Mount Lowe to make scenes for "M'liss." Tom Meighan, the leading man in that picture, had been telling Mary about a remarkable book he had been reading and had loaned it to her for the trip. She read it and a few days later met D. W. Griffith at a social gathering. She told him about it; said that there was a great picture in one of the short stories in the volume, but a picture that only Griffith could make. The book was Thomas Burke's "Limehouse Lights," and the story was "The Chink and the Child." The great director-producer made from it "Broken Blossoms," hailed by critics as the most artistic of all screen works. By the way, Mary has selected her third and last First National photo- play and is now completing her contract with that concern. The story is John Fox, Jr.'s "The Heart of the Hills." In it Miss Pickford will be seen with a cast which will include A.D. Sears as leading man, Miss Betty Bouton, Jack Gilbert and Harold Goodwin. Sidney Franklin is the director. The heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains has been invaded for the locations. Upon the conclusion of this photoplay Miss Pickford will start work on her first United Artists production. This will be either "Polly-anna" or "Hop o' My Thumb." There are certain personages in the film industry that lend themselves generously to funny stories based upon their lack of Oxford sheepskins, so to say. One of the new ones is about a director of more or less literacy who was asked by a friend why he didn't produce a railroad photoplay. "Oh everybody's makin' em," was the reply, "even Nazimovs." His friend couldn't recall any railroad film in which the celebrated Russian had played and said so. "Can't you read; don't you see 'The Red Lantern' advertised everywhere?" was the sarcastic rejoinder. Bobby Harron likes to tell the one about the exhibitor back in the early days who wanted a suitable war picture for showing on the fourth of Juiy and selected Griffith's first five-reeler, "The Battle of the sexes." The best part of the story, however, according to Bobby, is that the showman, who was the most up-to-date one in his city, got out a couple of rusty cannon to flank hisobby display. After telling the New York folks that he was going to make pictures in their midst, D. W. Griffith returned to California and was so glad to get back, apparently, that he decided to remain in Hollywood for a while longer. Although his departure is now scheduled for September, studio wiseacres are betting that midwinter will find him shooting California scenery as per usual. Well, the famous he-vamp is now vamping on his own. In other words, THE CHICAGO WHIP GE AL AND PUBLIC TASTE Lew Cody is being starred in his own production. His first will bear the rather enticing role of "The Delightful Devil," a story by Stephen Fox, nee Jules Grinnell Furthman, a writer of note. Out in Hollywood they are telling Harry Houdini, the famous escapist that he will never do as a "fillum" hero. Entirely without regard for precedent, Houdini and his wife celebrated their silver wedding anniversary by giving a dinner to the stars and officials of the Lasky studio, where Houdini has been spending a few months escaping from things for the sake of art. Although several producers are said to have claimed her services, Blanche Sweet is doing her newest photoplay under the auspices of Jesse Hampton whose other stars are H. B. Warner and Bill Desmond. The story is "A Woman of Pleasure," and the blonde Blanche has the earnest support of Wheeler Oakman, Wilfred Lucas, Charles Clary and other well known players. "Everywoman" is to be put on the screen by Famous Players-Lasky with a cast that includes nearly all the stars and near-stars of the Lasky studio "Uncle George" Felford who is directing it selected the cast which is made up partially of the following: "Everywoman," Violet Heming; "Beauty," Wanda Hawley; "Youth," Lila Lee; "Modesty," Margery Daw; "Conscience," Margaret Loomis; "Truth," Kathleen Kerrigan; "Vice," Marcia Manon; "Nobody," James Neill; "Wealth," Theodore Roberts; "Passion," Irving Cummings; "Flattery," Raymond Hatton; "Bluff," Wallace Beery; "Puff," Tully Marshall. The Hobart play was date for the screen by Will Ritchie. Hal Cooley, who used to play in comedies and serials has graduated into the ranks of the much desired leading men. He is now playing opposite Mabel Normand and will first be seen with that charming comedienne in "Upstairs." Irving Cummings is convinced that the stage is not what it used to be. He accepted a long stork engagement at Oakland, Cal., but a few weeks cured him and he returned to Hollywood, hastened to attach his name to a Lasky contract for the period of a year and will endorow to forget about footlights. William Hart's hair grows so rapidly that he is obliged to get it cut every month. Charlie Ray is very fond of food and seldom sits down to a meal without some it on the table. Nazimova res easily, and after ten or twelve hours work in front of the camera she is lugged to stop and rest. It is not generally known that Douglas Fairbanks on believed in Santa Claus. Norma Talmadge says eats breakfast soon after aris. Bryant Washburn ver ties his necktie without first Ping on his collar. Lillian Gish seldom sleep more than eight or nine hours. Harry Carey believes that its bad luck to strike a policeman. Charlie Chaplin has an intense version for snakes and dislikes to have them. "Smiling" Bill Parsons never wear his hat when in bed.

She existed in town over a ledger 48 weeks of the year and lived for the four she spent in the country each summer. She sang as she trudged along, with never a care in the world except getting back home in time for dinner. She had gone about half way when she spied a bunch of mountain laurel by Atwood's ledge. She had often heard Grammy Robbins bewail its scarcity in their vicinity, so she carefully put her pail of berries under a clump of bushes which were near by and started off to get a bunch of it. "They'll be perfectly safe there," she thought, "and I'll only be gone a minute anyway." But she was gone over an hour and got back just in time to see a young man ruefully trying to gather up the contents of the pail. He had spilled every berry! "You see," he started apologetically, "I—" "Don't you dare to say another word." Betty interrupted rudely, "you—" "I was just going to—" he continued vallantly with his explanation, only to be cut short again by Betty. "I don't care what you were going to do. You spilled every one of my berries—every one of them," she added tragically. "You ought to be arrested for robbery, so there! I think you're a—you're a—" But she couldn't think of a word of sufficient expression to describe him, so he took advantage of her pause to finish his explanation. "To sit down," he murmured contritely. Betty gave him a look of withering scorn and started on her way again while he stood watching her repentantly. "There isn't a thing I can do about it," he murmured hopelessly. "She's a regular little spitfire." Betty was nearly home when she remembered that she had left her mountain laurel behind and went back to get it. When finally she reached the farm-house there sat the offender on the plaza comfortably chatting away with Grampy Robbins! Grammy saw her from the kitchen window and hurried out to introduce her to the new boarder, for, as she so often said, "Grampy will forget little things like that, you know." Betty acknowledged the introduction frigidly and as frigidly excused herself. Grammy looked with a troubled expression from one to the other and then hastily followed Betty upstairs. "Why, Honey, what's the matter? I never saw you in such a mood before. Mr. Moore is a friend of Will's, and I'm sure he couldn't be nicer! I was just going to ask you to show him around the farm." "Oh, I couldn't do that," exclaimed Betty in horror, "I just couldn't. Why, he's the man that spilled my blueberries." Grammy was a most sympathetic person usually and she realized if she laughed at Betty's tragic statement that she'd never be forgiven. She hustily ran down stairs, shutting the door behind her, and then sat down and laughed till the tears rolled down her cheeks. She even took Grampy and Mr. Moore into her confidence and the three of them considered it a huge joke. But they had figured without Betty. she didn't think it a joke, and for the whole week didn't say a word to Mr. Moore. She avoided him whenever she could, and when this was impossible, looked miles past him if they chanced to meet. "Never you mind, Mr. Moore," Gram- consoloed him, "she's stubborn as rule, but she'll get over it; just you and see if she doesn't." "get that very same day Betty did she over it." The Robbinsues went Better down the "square," and left leisure home to get supper.

After thou it out in a over, Betty bravely clement was him, but she only acted to thank while, and then quibbled for a into tears. "Oh, come now, please, poor Moore awkwardly," urged mustn't do that. You really, you brightly, to cheer her we added it happened, because now we glad to be friends, real friends, going I never put much stock in Fri we? but I guess he's a pal of me, all. Betty, you can't hold out after blueberries and Fate, can you just got to be friends!" And Betty, smiling up in through her tears, agreed with him (Copyright, 1919, McCure Newspaper) The man in the business suit came into the brilliantly light! room, and stood staring nervously about. Far back in a screened corner he espied Abbie Ann, and the perplexed frown faded from his face. "Where is everybody?" he asked in a friendly tone. Abbie Ann sighed relleledly. Here at last was some one to whom she might speak without a shiver of awe. Abbie Ann was vastly proud of her gifted family, their achievement was her joy, but she was weary of the ever anticipated question: "Dorier?" the one presented would murmur. "Can it be possible that you are related to Eloise Dorier the artist?" Or perhaps it would be—"Josephine Dorier the musician?" When Abbie replied that she was a sister the fact never failed to draw an astonished glance in her direction. Abbie Ann wondered wistfully what a real home might be—with a comfortably contented family gathered all at one time about the table. Her sisters were so seldom together. Abbie Ann had not even the consolation of home making; a housekeeper attended to that. So she spent much of her time in the old garden, dreaming of things which she might do under other circumstances—of the good she might accomplish for others, if opportunity were hers; there seemed to be little here that she could do for even herself. Her face brightened as the imposing man entered the big, deserted room; she had been tongue-tied before the irreproachable evening dress of the socially prominent. This man, smiling ill at ease, seemed some way or other to be in her own predicament. "You are a guest, are you not?" he asked abruptly. Abbie Ann blushed at his appraising glance toward her simple white frock, and nodded. "You don't care to dance?" He regarded her curiously. Abbie Ann shook her head. "So few, people want me for a partner," she confessed, "that I'd rather not force them to ask me." The man grinned; it was a good-natured grin. He drew forth a chair and seated himself at her side. "My name is Perkins," he announced. Abbie Ann bowed. Instinctively she liked this big, plain man with the humorous eyes. "Mine is Dorier," she responded, and expectantly awaited his question. "Not," he began— "Yes," she said, "I am related to Eloise and Josephine, I'm their sister, and I neither paint nor play—" It was the man's turn to interrupt. "All right," he said, "glad to hear it. Then I shan't be called upon to listen while you perform, or compliment a painting which I don't in the least understand." For a moment of understanding sympathy the two looked into each other's eyes and laughed. "You mustn't think that I don't appreciate my sisters," Abbie Ann hastened to add. "It's just because I'm such a nonentity myself that I despise comparison. The only reason that people bear with me at all is because I'm in the family." "Reflected glory!" laughed the man, "and have you no special desire in your own direction?" "I'd love," she said, "to have lots and lots of money to spend." "Well," he thoughtfully reflected, "the wise expenditure of money is an art in itself. Now, suppose," he leaned toward her amusedly, "you were possessed of lots of money; how would you dispose of it?" Abbie Ann spoke eagerly, shyness and constraint forgotten. "I'd build a home for poor convalescents," she said, "those you know who must leave hospitals and have no money for further care. And I'd have a big country summer place for ailing children of the poor, and—O!—there are so many splendid things that one might do with money. "Mr. Perkins!" laughingly called the hostess. "Why did you not announce your presence? As a guest of honor your behavior is inexcusable." The big man arose. "Apologies!" he said. "I came here direct from the station, my train being delayed. I did not wish to break in on your frivolities." Confusedly, Abbie Ann retired to her corner. The proud hostess drew forth the noted Josephine and Eloise for presentation. Eloise sought her out later. "How in the world?" she asked. "did you become acquainted with Tyron Perkins, the multi-millionaire?" Abbie Ann's eyes widened. "You don't mean," she asked incredulously, "that this Mr. Perkins is the millionaire you and Josephine have been so excited over meeting?" Tyron Perkins himself was beckoning her from the doorway. "When they dance again," he said, "let's talk things over." Like a conspirator Abbie Ann nodded back at him. "I want to hear more concerning your views on the art of spending money," he explained. "Just dreams!" she murmured regretfully. But the big man smiled. "Some dreams come true," he reminded. Again she liked the humorous light in his eyes. But as she stood looking up at him, the humor changed to tenderness. (Copyright, 1910, Western Newspaper Union) 11 CURRENT WIT and HUMOR "Is this a progressive town?" asked the visitor. "Yes, indeed. Why, we have dozens of skyscrapers, imposing public buildings, good schools, fine churches, broad, well paved streets, a pure water supply and—" "Quite so, quite so. But how are your golf links?" Habit. "Do you think party lines are being effaced?" "No," said Senator Sorghum. "A man's party is something like his family relations. There may be some fierce differences of opinion, but they don't prevent those concerned from having to admit that they are still kinfolks." "I like the place," said Mr. Newlwed, "but the railroad fare is too high." "But surely," said the bride, "the railroad will fix that for you when they know." "When they know what?" "That you're the man who bought five shares of their stock." Proving an Alibi. Flatbush—Do you think a man can be talked to death? "Well, I've got a phonograph, a parrot, four talkative kids and a wife, and, say, I don't look like a dead one, do I?" Flying High. "You know we promised a golden apple to the most beautiful girl at the ball." "Well?" "The jeweler hasn't finished it. What shall we do?" "What do we care for expense? Award her a real apple." A GREAT IMPROVEMENT "Well son, I see you're changed considerable since you left home for college—s'pose you've made wonderful improvement." "Yes father, I can play a guitar and sing harmony as well as anybody at school." The Crucial Moment. The time when life's affairs begin To seem entirely wrong Is when you've started butting in Where you do not belong. A Safe Bet. Lawyer—You want a divorce on the grounds of insanity; but are you sure your husband is insane? Woman—Well, if he isn't now, I'll live with him until he is—so get the papers ready. Her Hard Lines Mr. Flatbush—She has a very difficult part in the new play. Mrs. Flatbush—Difficult? Why, she doesn't say a word. "Well, isn't that difficult for a woman?" His No Man's Land. "What are your impressions of No Man's Land?" "I didn't get into the war," answered the morose citizen. "My only vivid idea of No Man's Land is home while spring housecleaning is going on." Discrimination Needed "That girl must have a great sense of humor. She is laughing all the time." "That's the trouble with her sense of humor. She doesn't know when not to laugh." "That actress can't play Lady Macbeth." "Why not?" "Lady Macbeth murdered sleep and she can't even kill time." "In their quarrel he threw an alarm clock at his wife." "He ought to be ashamed of himself to throw away his time so." Sure Clue. "How did you guess at once that Jones was a married man?" "Because he is such a good listener." GRAVY- GRITTS.

We have dedicated ourselves to public service. THE CRIMSON STAIN SOME imaginative, dramatic novelists and scientists have seen fit to describe the presence of one-sixteenth or more Negro blood within one's veins as the crimson stain. THEY SAY "crimson" because all blood is of that color, and they say "stain" because of its origin from the black race, which they consider inferior, uncalled and unfit. They have never considered fairly what part the crimson stain or miscegation has already played in the "one great American problem." THE PROBLEM OF THE CRIMSON STAIN, THE OCTOROON, QUADROON AND THE MULATTO IS THE ONE PROBLEM THAT AMERICAN CAUCASSIAN CIVILIZATION HAS NOT GRASPED. It is inevitable and like Banquo's ghost, it is forever present. It is to be reckoned with and it is to be feared. The American white man has, on all occasions, consistently asserted that the white man's blood should not and would not be contaminated and defiled by the infusion of Negro blood. He has said that the races must remain separate and distinct; that God intended them. The propaganda that the American white man carried over to France was along the line of thought that racial contact caused the white race to degenerate and for that reason the womanhood of France should recognize the American lines of social demarcation. THE IDEA OF RACIAL PURITY IS A SCIENTIFIC ANAMOLY. All races are to some extent by-products, extracts and confusions of different races. The history of civilization proves that the denizens of the world are mongrel races. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RACIAL PURITY. A portion of the American white race is not pure. The blood of America today is as confused as the tongues of Babylon, as heterogeneous as mince pie, as conglomerated as Joseph's coats. THE AMERICAN WHITE RACE SITS ON THE THRONE OF THIS GREAT REPUBLIC; THEY HOLD THE STRINGS AROUND THE GREAT CAPITAL THEY ARE LEADERS OF A NEW CIVILIZATION IN THIS, A NEW COUNTRY. GREAT IS THEIR POWER, GREAT ARE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS, GREAT ARE THEIR RULERS. THEY PACE LETHARGIC AND APATHETIC RACES THAT FOLLOW THEIR TRAIN. YET IN ALL THEIR TRANSCENDANT GLORY AND HONOR, THEY HAVE FAILED TO RECKON WITH THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION. THE SINS OF THEIR FATHERS HAVE GIVEN A TRANSITORY RESULT THAT MOCKS THE CLAIM OF RACE PURITIES, SNEERS AT RACE PRIDE, WINKS AT RACE PREJUDICE, AND RILES THE IDEA OF DEGENERACY. THAT FORCE, CUNNING AND EVASIVE, IS THE PROBLEM OF THE WHITE-BLACK MAN. In the United States today there are over 1,000,000 mulattoes, octoroons and quadroons, that are so Caucasian in appearance that science is baffled, civilization is double-crossed, and yet America seems asleep. Ninety-five per cent of these hybred people have gone over on the other side. They look like white people; they talk like white people. They work in white men's jobs. They associate with white people; they marry white women, but they always think as Negroes. THE AMERICAN NEGRO HAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PSYCHOLOGY FROM THAT OF THE WHITE MAN. Conditions force it upon him. He is not allowed to think as an American, but as an American Negro. THE STIGMATIZED MIND OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO IS THE REAL CURSE OF AMERICAN PREJUDICE. That the mind of the ex-colored man always remains colored is admitted by all who follow the color line, the fear of his ultimate disclosure, the fear of fate's hands on his children, who sometimes are Negroid, the love for his old playmates and associates, the memory of the old insults and indignations and the knowledge that his fellows are still suffering keeps his mind forever colored and the spark of loyalty for his colored progenitors from ever dying. THERE IS ANOTHER TYPE OF MULATTOES THAT LEAD HYDE AND JEKYLL EXISTENCES; TODAY WHITE, TOMORROW BLACK. These individuals with uncanny instincts always seem to find out the sinister intrigue of the white man and forewarns and therefore remains the Negro. The activities of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Associations, and the plans of the white rioters were exposed through these Jekylls and Hydes. America's eyes are closed. They need no fears of social equality or Negro domination. The real fear is the crimson stain. Many who sit in high places are stained. It is claimed that three senators now in office, two governors and two representatives are known by many colored people to be stained. THE FABRIC OF AMERICA MUST INDEED BE SOILED. The secrets of American finance and government are known by ex-colored. The bourbon South receives ex-colored men within their undefiled and unsullied homes. The hospitality of the South's table is shared by the ex-colored and the black Jekyll and Hyde. THE SINS OF AMERICAN SIRES ARE BEING VISITED ON THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION. THE MULATTO AND OCTOROONS ARE PLANTING SEEDS IN AMERICA'S MOST FERTILE SOIL. IF BLACK BLOOD CAUSES DEGENERACY, AMERICA IS ENDANGERED AND IS POWERLESS TO PREVENT IT. How can you tell who is a Negro? The Southerners tell our THE CHICAGO WHIP GRITTS AND GRAVY GRAVY- GRITTS, IF YOU HAD YOUR CHOICE OF PICKING THE MOST COMPETANT RACE LEADER THRU THIS CRISIS, WHAT KIND WOULD HE BE? GRITTS- WELL FIRSTLY, AN EDUCATED HEAD, THEN ONE WHO KNOW ALL OF THE POLITICIANS SO HE COULD PICK OUT THE GOOD ONES FROM THE BAD ONES GRAVY- "PARTLY TRUE," "PARTLY TRUE." GRITTS- "WHY SAY PARTLY THAT KIND WOULD YOU PICK?" ex-colored men they never miss and they the "colonel" is missing then. The Negro need have no fear of annihilation in America. Great nature has acted contrarywise. There is but one problem after all, and that is the problem of brotherly love. MAJOR MORTON MUST GO In a recent speech in the South, Major R. R. Morton, the hand-picked leader, and president of Tuskegee Institute, says: "I have never seen a time when the feeling among the colored people was so bitter against the whites as now. I have never seen a time when there was less reason for this feeling than now." The major thinks that because Negroes refuse to run when they are assaulted and their homes are attacked, is not prima facie evidence of the fact that they harbor feeling collectively against the whole white race. Every one who has an ounce of common sense knows that these charges are false. Even the white dailies in their comments doubt the truth of the charges. Yet they are not in a position to dispute Mr. Morton because they say that as a leader he is supposed to know his people. TO SAY THAT the prejudicial bitterness which has accumulated to the exaggerated proportions which the major asserts is one-sided and foolish. The most stupid private in Hannibal's army would not dare say that the Negro did not have cause for the ill-feeling he harbors. Even though sensible white people doubt the truth of Morton's statements, the fact is they are not in a position to dispute him. HIS MALICIOUS CHARGES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PRODUCTS OF AN EMPIRACAL LILLIPUTIAN MIND, HAS PLACED THE COLORED PEOPLE IN THE MOST EMBARRASSING POSITION THEY HAVE EVER BEEN WITH THEIR WHITE FRIENDS, WHO HAVE INSISTED UPON A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL. THE MAJOR HAS EXCUSED all of the atrocious primitive and vicious acts committed by the cohorts of lynchlad. He has put an edge upon the sword of infamy and injustice which if not dulled by intelligent co-operation of the best thinker of both races, will decapitate many innocent citizens. Who is Major Morton, anyhow? He is the same man who only a fortnight ago, when his wife was ejected from a pullman car by a South conductor, said that the conductor was right, and further, that his wife had no business in a pullman car. The Southern wife papers said he lied in this and that he was less than a man. is the Major Morton who compromised the colored officers' ca in Des Moines. With his same characteristic, expedient cowardice, he went to France to teach Negro boys, who were gladly give their lives for the cause of white men's liberty, that they shoot not insist upon their own emancipation when they returned their mother land. THIS PAPER, SINCE its existence, insisted upon new and intelligent leadership. It has, never, been impartial in giving credit to some of the old schoof for their wholesome accomplishments. It has gone one better given liberal credit for good intentions, even when results were aught. Our future steps in exposing and exterminating hankicked leaders will be quickened as a result of Morton's misreprintations, there is no parallel, or excuse for him. It is his worth and last offense, if exposing his cowardice and ignorance will kill him. He is not only too stupid to lead, but too ignorant to follow. It is bad enough for one to betray his race, but we one maliciously misrepresents them, no punishment is too safe for him. Those whites, who closely scrutinizing the rads, would do justice to themselves and the government to scrutize Morton. Because a man, who will lie upon his own race will betray any other race. How long are the intelligent white people going to listen to such "Uncle Toms" as Morton in this aaced age? How long are the intelligent colored people going to it be safe for such parasites to stand between them and real grass? THE M/ R FURTHER states that he hopes the present trouble will smoothed out. What does he mean by smoothed out? His ning can only be interpreted in the light of his past actions. COMPROMISE THE RACIAL ISSUES UPON A BASIS EXPEDIENCY AT THE EXPENSE OF COLORED PEOPLISH WILL NOT BE DONE. IT WILL BE SETTLED, BUT UPON THE BASIS OF RIGHT, JUSTICE AND EQUAY. IT WILL BE SETTLED BY MEN OF VISION, BOTH HITE AND BLACK. In choosing the commissioners for this k, only courageous, rational men will be considered. The ma won't have a chance. He will be left on the outside, still bli groping in his compromising ignorance. The colored people we a long time recovering from blunders of Morton's purile. THE MAJOR SHOULD BE ABANDONED. HE IS A NACE TO CIVILIZATION. --- IF MEXICO IS WRONG, IS TEXAS RIGHT? IF MEXICO IS WRONG, IS TEXAS RIGHT? The Mexican situation has caused unrest and aigtation untold. Many intricate problems are so twisted that we will not attempt to unravel them. The New Republic's explanation is pregnant with thought. Great wealth is a blessing to large nations and a curse to small ones. Mexico has great wealth. Great Britain and the United States love wealth, but our interest is the murder, robbery and assault on American citizens. The United States is wrathful and justly so. American citizens should be protected wherever they are, and especially when they are within their legal rights. Carranza's message to the United States in its entity was certainly intended to convince the citizens of the United States that they will not condone the ruthless acts of the Mexican bandits and hoodlums. He admitted that Mexicans had done right and said that the government would adjust the situation and pay all damages. He admits the wrongs of Mexico. Texas, who constantly criticizes Mexico and wishes herself to go over and vanquish the bandits, is also to be considered. The Texas situation has caused unrest and untold agitation. Her great problem is the Negro. Negroes are lynched and Jimcrowed and maligned. John R. Shillady, a white man, went to Texas to settle the charter inquiry of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He offended the Texans by visiting Negro activities. He was beaten and maltreated and ordered out of Texas by a mob led by the county judge and constable. GOVERNOR HOBBY OF TEXAS REPLIES THAT: "TEXAS IS FOR TEXANS, AND THAT WHENEVER NORTHERNERS COME DOWN TO TEXAS TO STIR UP RACE FEELINGS THAT THEY SHOULD BE SENT AWAY WITH BROKEN JAWS." THAT TEXAS CAN TAKE CAR OF HER NEGROES It appears to us that the governor of Texas is not as square as the president of Mexico. Texas is wrong. Texas is not as moral as Mexico. What right has Texas to clear out Mexico? IF TEXAS IS FOR TEXANS, THEN MEXICO SHOULD BE FOR MEXICANS. Do you want to know why colored people rents than other group? Do you want to know the solution of the lem? Do you want clean news? Do you want to get a better wage?

When a Jew comes from Russia or any other foreign country to America his race does not try to belittle him. During the riot I especially noticed the statements given to the white press blaming the trouble on the so-called newcomer. They have never given the newcomer credit for operating 70 per cent of the legitimate business among us. They have never given the newcomer credit for electing two aldermen and three members to the legislature. I think it is unfair and cowardly for any Negro to try to make any sectional distinctions. I hope to see them crying from the lash of The Whip in your next issue. A. C. M.
