MOB RULE IN OMAHA--MAYOR HUNG FEDERAL TROOPS CONTROL SITUATION Make America and "Democracy" Safe for the Negro Vol. 1.—No. 15. MOB FEDER Wilson Not to Stop Colored Papers The soft pedal has been put on the fight against Negro journals claimed by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina to be seditious. The arguments in the attack on these colored papers were to the effect that they were radical in the extreme and dangerous in their tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and black races. Representative McDuffie of the First Alabama district, incensed by the contents of an issue of the Messenger, interviewed the postmaster general in an effort to secure the suppression of the periodical. He pointed out a cartoon representing a Negro driving an automobile through masses of fleeing whites, the Negro driving and shooting into the frantic crowds. Men falling were soldiers bearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the editor congratulated the Negroes for their successful opposition to mobs in Washington and Chicago. He also pointed out a paragraph in which it was said that in certain emergencies "a bullet is far more efficacious than a thousand pravers." Burleson Called. Postmaster General Burleson was interviewed by Mr. McDuffie. He agreed with Mr. McDuffie that the publications were inflammatory. Regarding the interview, the Alabama member said: "The postmaster general told me that he had been considering and was still considering the advisability of denying the mails to the Messenger and the Menace. He stated that the attorney general was also giving thought to the subject. He then declared that the president had suggested that no such action be taken at the present time. It is evidently another case of "watchful wiating." The postmaster general was entirely sympathetic, for he feels, of course, just as all other southern men feel. Department of Justice Tried. From the postmaster general McDuffie went to Mr. Lamar of the department of justice, who is also an Alabamian. Mr. Lamar stated that he was giving these periodicals "earnest consideration." He clearly stated that he was bewildered, because if any action were begun to suppress these papers the best argument would be on the side of the papers. It was brought out in the course of the interview with Mr. Lamar that, although he was opposed to the publishing of these paeprs, they could in any contest of their right to publication state that they were simply attacking the lynching evil. This, of course, is a very embarrassing question in Washington. Mr. Lamar stated his opinion that these journals would arouse considerable sympathy in the North. President Wilson Refuses to Act. The matter was brought to the attention of President Wilson, who postponed any drastic action. Mr. McDuffie withheld a statement setting forth his opinion as to why the president suggested a postponement of action against the Negro radical press. In all probability, however, the president was moved through fear of the "unrest" which prevails everywhere in the United States. It was probably his opinion that it would be wiser to suffer the danger of such publications precipitating other riots throughout the United States than to force the radical Negro element of the North into the ranks of rebellious policemen, striking labor, pro-German agitators, --- Speedy Guaging of Spirits Now Allowed by the United States Not a Sign of End to Ban on Liquor, Commissioner Says. Permission for immediate guaging of any beverage spirits now deposited in warehouses has been given by the commissioner of internal revenue, according to work received by Elwood Hamilton, collector of internal revenue for Kentucky, yesterday. Assent was given on requests for immediate guaging of beverage spirits in bond to facilitate rapid tax payment and withdrawal of spirits in the event the ban of wartime prohibition is lifted. The commissioner of internal revenue takes care, however, to disillusion hopes of those who interpret the authorization as a sign that wartime prohibition soon will end. "It must not be inferred," states the commissioner, "that this office is in possession of any information leading to belief that the ban of wartime prohibition will be lifted in the near future or at any other time, nor will it be regarded as a precedent or authorization for any other guaging than that contemplated for facilitating withdrawal in event of the lifting of the ban. "Under the Act of Nov. 21, 1918, withdrawal of distilled spirits from warehouses for beverage purposes is prohibited except for export, and no modification of this prohibition is contemplated or authorized hereby." All Right for Love to Love Board Not to Call H Papa" Akron, O., Oct. 1.—Stephen Bishop could stand his wife being infatuated with the star boarder, whose name he doesn't know, but when his wife taught his three children to call the boarder "papa" and ignore the presence and authority of their own father, Stephen says he had more than he could bear. He asks for a divorce on that ground. Returned Soldier Is Charged With Assault Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 1.—Bert King, Negro chauffeur, a returned soldier, living in Montgomery for the past month, was arrested early this morning charged with making an attempt at assault on a young white woman here last night. She was on her way to the offices of the Bell Telephone company, where she is an operator on the night shift. King is alleged to have embraced her. She identified him and he was rushed to another city for safe keeping by Sheriff Scoggin. sleepless I. W. W.'s, extreme socialists and professional anarchists. The prevailing opinion in Washington is that the action of the president is due to the danger of sovietism, bolshevism and actual revolution in the United States. The president, it is indicated, is moved through desire to compose the discordant elements rather than crush them with an iron hand. There are many members of congress who believe the president is on the proper track. There are others who compare his course in the present emergency to his course in dealing with Mexico, a course apparently characterized by a lack of "punch" and aggressiveness. Wallace Reid will continue with Famous Players-Lasky, having recently attached his signature to a five years' starring contract. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1919 Negro Preacher Says Stay South Arkansas Gazette Organizes Good Negroes. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 29.—Allport, Ark., in the center of a tract of 37,000 acres of the richest land of Lonoke county, and restricted in its future growth only by the limits of that large acreage, was presented here yesterday as the "promised land" of the Arkansas Negro by the Rev. A. Amos, Negro "elder" and the ruling spirit of the colony. The "elder" came here to see a state legislature in action, and having seen it, he is ready to resume his campaign among his people to dissuade them from leaving the South and to resume his preaching of the doctrine of co-operation between the Negroes and the white people of the nation. "Elder" Amos, who has been leader of his race for many years, brought an interesting story of the development of a Negro colony at Allport and told of the methods pursued and his goal in his life work, which he says is to make Allport the best Negro settlement in the nation, a work which he has well under way, according to his own vivid description. Temporarily he is neglecting the colony to battle what he calls a vicious propaganda which is seeking to create unrest among his people and to increase friction between the white and Negro races. The "elder's" mission is to preach contentment to his people, to allay the discord between the races and to make this a "happy Southland for the white people and the Negroes." He has held 64 meetings among the Negroes and will hold many more throughout the state. His work has been endorsed by Governor Brough and by many other white people of the state. Is a Dry Colony. But the lecture tour is merely a side line to the building of Allport, where the Negro is to be taught good citizenship, thrift, industry, sobriety and Christian living, where idleness is frowned upon, where immorality is not tolerated and from which booze in all forms is barred. The "elder" says that none of his colonists will ever get (Continued on Page 3.)

It is alleged that Fletcher has been stealing lumber and selling it. Jake Meter, 596 So. Cortez st., identified the Negro as the man from whom he recently, purchased lumber. George Haine, 1710 Hospital st., driver for the Colonial Furniture company, was arrested Wednesday on a charge of petty larceny growing out of the alleged theft of two matting rugs and three small velvet rugs, valued at $26. It is charged that Haine stole the rugs from the store. Held for Selling Dope Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1.—Charles Martin was arraigned before United States Commissioner McLaughlin yesterday on a charge of selling dope, and was bound over to the grand jury. Fannie Ward will appear in the first of the six motion pictures to be produced in Paris by William A. Brady in association with the Film d'Art. Three Charged With the Theft of $1,085 B. T. Morgan, his wife, Mrs. Ethel Morgan and Sam Tillman, Negro bellboy at the Adolphus hotel, were charged by affidavit yesterday with the theft of $1,085 and a diamond ring from William F. Hollaway last Saturday night. The charges were sworn to by City Detective Henderson and are filed in Justice of the Peace Alexander's court. T. G. Dickson, another bellboy is charged with receiving and concealing stolen property in connection with the same affair. Sues for Damages Beatrice, Neb., Oct. 1.—Suit was brought by attorneys of Harvey Clayton, the Negro boy who was shot and seriously wounded Wednesday as he and his wife were en route home in an automobile by John Foose, demented hermit, for $35,250 for permanent injuries. Money in the bank belonging to Foose was also attached. Clayton is in a hospital in a critical condition. Policeman Shot Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 26.—Charles F. Turknett, policeman, died early today of wounds received shortly after midnight in a pistol duel with Claude Howell, whom he was attempting to arrest. Howell escaped but was found today hiding in the home of a colored man near the scene of the shooting. He was suffering from a broken wrist which was struck by a bullet fired by Turknett and also was shot in the side by the policeman. The grand jury now in session to investigate the recent lynching of two Negroes here, was instructed by the court to take up Howell's case immediately with a view to bringing about a speedy trial of the man. Alabama Has Lynching Fit; Three Are Lynched in 12 Hours (Special to The Whip.) Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 1.—A mob of twenty-five white ruffians and hoodlums broke into a hospital and from his dying bed, dragged John Temple to the street and brutally murdered him. Temple was accused of wounding a policeman, who had kicked and cursed him in a dance hall melee. Soldier Lynched. Robert Crosby, a discharged soldier was shot to death about five miles from the city a few hours earlier, accused of insulting white women. Crosby, with another colored man was forced to run the gauntlet and were killed in a barbarous Indian style. A special jury will be called to investigate. Negroes are greatly perturbed and all quit work. Great numbers are boarding western and northern trains. New Jersey Mob Mad; Lynching Planned Merchantville, N. J., Oct. 1.—A mob of blood thirsty citizens of Merchantsville are scouring the outlying district for a colored man accused of attacking Mrs. Notsey, white. The sheriff of Burlington county is also leading a posse in search of the alleged criminal. Citizens avow that the man will be lynched but the authorities declare that no cruelty will be tolerated. According to the police, the wounded man, has been identified as a farm hand employed near the scene of the assault. Says Man Killed Train Conductor Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30.—Leon Darling, the Negro accused of killing Conductor Massey of the Union Pacific, was sought by a possess of lynchers, but Warden Fenton of the state penitentiary foiled them at the point of his Winchester. Darling denied the murder and repudiates an alleged confession. Feeling in Grand Island is high, but the authorities are determined to perform their duty. Providence Acts to Avoid Race Riots Great Meeting Called of Negroes and Whites. Providence, R. I., Oct. 2.—An appeal to help preserve order here and keep Providence from experiencing such conditions as Boston is meeting with was made by Mayor Gainer last evening in speaking before an audience of four hundred persons who had gathered at the State Armory for a public reception and grand victory celebration to honor colored soldiers and sailors who have returned from the world war. Addressing his marks to the colored soldiers and sailors in uniform, some of them veterans of the Civil war, drawn up in line before the platform, the mayor said: "You have sacrificed just as much, no more and no less, than the other men who went to war. You don't need anybody's appreciation. You have the appreciation of the city, the state, the United States and of the world for what you have done. "There isn't anything I would take for the part I had played in the war if I had been one of you boys. I ask you to bring back into civilian life the same high spirit you showed in war. You men who have been in the army know what discipline does. You couldn't have won without it. Mayor and Lieutenant Governor Speak "Look at the city of Boston today. No police force and little protection from mob violence. God grant on such conditions ever come to the city of Providence. I want you to go out determined that Providence will never yield her high place among the cities of the country. Help preserve peace here." The meeting at the armory followed a parade through the downtown streets and a dinner in the Odd Fellows hall, Cranston st. The veterans and Boy Scouts performed morching maneuvers in the armory as a preliminary to the reception. President Thomas Henry Brown of the colored citizens' welcome home committee presided. John C. Minkins of the finance committee spoke and introduced Lieutenant Governor San Souci, who extended the welcome of the state in behalf of Governor Beckman. Remarks were also made by John B. Edwards, Dr. James A. Gilbert and C. Thomas Pierson, participants in the ceremonies. Professor Payne's chorus sang. White and Colored Mix Without Trouble. "Whenever the United States has been plunged in war," said the Lieutenant Governor, "the colored people have always given a good account of themselves. I come from a race of people who respect a man no matter what his color. I am a member of a faith that extends its arms to colored as well as white men. I admire many traits in the colored man and believe in his education. You witness here in Providence the mingling of the black and white man. Has there been any trouble? No. These boys showed the Hun across the water that although their skins 2 Killed and 48 Wounded Before Riot Had Stopped The Whip is the only colored paper you can rely upon for clean, wholesome news.

Gentlemen:—Enclosed find.....for..... months subscription. Name ..... Street ..... City .....State ..... Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.—Mayor Ed P. Smith was nearly lynched when he refused to surrender William Brown, colored, to a mob of bloodthirsty hoodlums here Sunday night. The mayor was strung up with a rope, the end of which was thrown over a telegraph pole. When cut down by policemen he was unconscious. The new $1,500,000 court house is badly damaged, having been fired by the mob when it was denied possession of William Brown, who was charged with a criminal attack on a white girl. The mob, not satisfied with almost killing the city's chief executive, marched toward the home of Police Commissioner Dean Ringer. In order to get to the home of the chief the mob had to pass through a colored neighborhood. They got within three blocks of the said Negro section when the cowardly mob, led by more cowardly leaders, thought that it would be safer if they turn back. This they did. Brown is one of the many race men who has been accused of assaults on young white women during the past six weeks. Any young girl who was looking for notoriety through the press would claim that she had been attacked by a colored man. After bringing the said man to court the evidence was so flimsy the accused was either given a light sentence or freed. Mayor Smith owes his election to the better class of whites and Negroes, who were tired of the old regime of wide open gambling, houses of vice and hold-ups. Early in the afternoon a small crowd gathered in front of the court house. As the afternoon wore on the crowd, chiefly boys, was augmented steadily until several thousand men, women and boys had assembled. At 6 were black they fought with a cleaner hand and heart than he. I feel that a substantial bonus will be provided for every man who took part in the war." March to Armory. The colored soldiers and sailors marched through the streets of the city to the Cranston street armory early last evening. Two automobiles containing Grand Army veterans were in the parade. Formation of the parade took place on Benefi st., the members then turning down atterman st. hill, through Exchange pl., Dorrance st. and Westminster st. to the armory. The parade was led by Chief Marshal B. T. Montgomery, followed by a squadron of mounted police. A pla- If It's Not in the "WHIP" There's Nothing to It HUNG ATION d 48 Wounded it Had Stopped o'clock a small boy threw a stone and broke a window in the court house. The act was a signal for a shower of missiles. News of the rioting soon spread and a crowd of 35,000 gathered in the streets around the city hall. From a building across the street someone threw a firebrand through a window of the building and a small blaze started. The mayor attempted to quell the disturbance, but he was soon disposed of by the mob, who marched into the court house to the fifth floor, where Brown was turned over to them by the other colored prisoners in the jail. In an attempt to save the prisoners from the flames the sheriff had taken them to the roof of the building. While there he, with the white prisoners, had to fight the colored prisoners to keep them from throwing Brown over the roof to the rioters. Brown's body was riddled with bullets, strung to a telegraph pole and burned. It was then tied to the rear of an automobile and dragged through the streets. Many of the hoodlums insisted that they take it through the black belt. They started in the direction of the colored section, but soon changed their course when they were told that the Negroes were heavily armed and were waiting for them. An appeal was sent to the secretary of war for troops and General Wood was ordered to Omaha with two regiments of regular soldiers drawn from Camp Grant, Fort Omaha and Fort Crook. The colored people in the colored residential districts are all heavily armed and are all banded together to protect their homes. The riot's toil is as follows: Two killed (one white and one colored), and forty-eight wounded. toon of Boy Scouts came next, after which came the machines with the veterans of the Civil war. Then followed the band, about 125 soldiers bearing overseas service stripes, and automobiles containing guests of honor.

The letter is as follows: "The soldiers sent to check the mob that attacked the jail here on the night of August 30 and liberated all the white prisoners, did almost as much harm as the mob. A false report was circulated to the effect that Negroes had killed two white men. This was done to turn the attention of the soldiers from the mob at the jail. The soldiers, hearing this report, rushed into the colored section with a machine gun and began firing. As a result one colored man and one of the officers commanding the soldiers were killed. "The soldiers were given orders by someone to search and disarm all the Negroes. A more disgraceful order Warranted to me SHOE SHINE POLISH JETTO SH C. H.

From 4 o'clock Sunday morning until night, colored men and women were stopped on streets and searched by the soldiers, who took knives from them. One colored man, going three blocks, was searched seven times. The indignities which colored women suffered at the hands of these soldiers would make the devil blush for shame. Low class white men took advantage of the helplessness of the colored men and began cursing and abusing them on the streets. One colored man, coming home with his family, was struck and humiliated by a white ruffian. "Both white and colored citizens protested against the mistreatment of the colored people by the soldiers, and, as soon as they could get in touch with Governor Roberts, petitioned him to take away the soldiers at once. They were ordered from the city early Monday."

Sallee Never Started a Game in Philadelphia Slim Sallee comes very near being the most important part of the famous Red machine that has run rampant through the National League this year, but there are very few fans who know that his fame extends also in another direction. Sallee, canny, wise old pitcher, never has started a game against Philadelphia in its home bandbox. In fact, only thirteen starts against Philadelphia's National League club have been made by the elongated southpaw. The reason for Slim's refraining from pitching when his club visits Philadelphia is simply this: He is easy for the opposition to touch for long flies. And long flies in the National League ballwick in the sleep city are home runs. Some one would be breaking the home run record if Sallee did much serving. Occasionally the left-handed master has finished a ball game against the Phils, but never in all the years he has been curving in the National Legae—under the colors of St. Louis, New York and Cincinnati—has he started against the Quakers on their home lot.

Knives Wound Four In Cleveland Riot Cleveland, Oct. 1.—Four men were stabbed, two probably fatally and two others were badly beaten near the entrance of the American Steel and Wire company, Newburg plant, early this morning in the first serious local disorder of the steel strike. The trouble broke out when a street car stopped near the plant to let off men bound for work at the mills. Among those who got off the car were three Negroes. Strike sympathizers sought to stop them from going into the plant, according to the police, and two of the Negroes drew knives. A general fight ensued, in which many men in the vicinity of the plant joined. When a detail of police reached the scene they found four men had been stabbed, two probably fatally. The Negroes returned to the street car for shelter. The car was pursued by hundred of strike sympathizers and bombarded with bricks and stones and the three men seized and beaten. Police resuced two of them and the third escaped. Two other disturbances broke out in the Newburg district this morning in one of which a man was slightly hurt. Patrolman Hack was severely beaten and one man was believed to have been shot in the steel strike in the disturbance near the Otis Steel company plant shortly before noon. Hack was attacked when he ordered loiteers to move on. He fired three shots and believed a man was shot and carried away by friends. Maj. Harry L. Davis, roused by reports of the disorder, issued instructions to police that no strike breakers be permitted to enter the city and that all suspicious persons be turned back. Union officials, in conference today with Mayor Davis, demanded that activities of strike breakers be stopped. Fifty-nine men, who police said, were brought here from Detroit to work in a Cleveland steel mill, were on there way back to Detroit today after having been taken to police headquarters on their arrival here last night and given the choice of returning or appearing in court on suspicious person charges. This policy will be continued, police said. Special police details were patrolling the districts where rioting occurred this morning and police were investigating reports that Negroes were being imported from the South to work in the mills. The Union Rolling Mills, an independent company, that had continued to operate shorthanded, closed today, when union employees walked in a body. When in Need of Groceries Visit G.

The last song was plaintively sung by the soloist in the canned orchestra as the colored man mounted the gallow's step. It was the colored man's request that phonograph music be substituted for the convict choir. Ferguson was convicted of murder. Negro Preacher Says Stay South (Continued from Page 1.) an inspiration to stray from his teachings through the narrow neck of a half-pint bottle for the very good reason that bottled goods are never allowed within the limits of the colony. "White mule" is not the sort of motive power the "elder" prefers in his building project. Allport is a non-sectarian colony, but there is a certain broad qualification that must be shown by a prospective colonist before he is admitted to the company of picked citizenship of Allport—only the "good" Negroes are allowed to settle there, the "bad" are met at the gates and turned back. The task of choosing the "good" from the "bad" is in the hands of "Elder" Amos and the "elder" is convinced that he has made few mistakes. He has refused admittance to many, but he has accepted 568 families of "good" Negroes whom he has settled on tracts of 40 acres per family and who are making payments on their own homes. School Teaches Trades. The Allport Industrial and Mechanical Trade School, a plant patterned after the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, recent was damaged by fire, but new buildings are being erected and the school soon will be in operation. In addition to this school which corresponds to the high schools of the state, there are four where the young Negro is given his grammar schools in the settlement first ideas of education. The rebuilding is to cost $26,000. Machinery worth $3,000 has been ordered by the school and will be installed soon to be used in the making of wagons, buggies, farm implements and coffins. "Elder" Amos explained that the coffins are to satisfy the peculiar whim of his people in regard to arrangements for proper and particular burial when death overtakes them. A coffin factory where modern caskets may be obtained will be one of the big attractions at Allport. Greatest attention will, of course, be given to the agricultural development of the colony. The soil is rich and the "elder" says that it is possible to raise everything, even a fight, although fighting is one of the things that he is striving hard to eliminate from the products of his colony. Cotton is the chief crop and the yield this year is very good, the "elder" said. The outlook is good for corn and other cereal crops will be very good, he said. Must Have White Folks Near. Ultimately, Allport is to be an all-Negro town, with Negroes in charge of all commercial, civic, religious and educational pursuits, but the "elder" is very anxious to retain a strong representation of the white citizenship. He is afraid that a strictly all-Negro settlement would prove a failure because of internal dissension in the race. "We must have the steadying influence of the white man in our community to hold down strife and contention and to give us advice and help." said the "elder." But next year the Negroes are to take over the business section of the town and will operate the stores which now are run by the white people. The campaign to sell homes to the colonists is to reach a climax Nov. 21, when a three-day closing out is to start. A display of work done at the school and of farm products will be made, and there will be feasting and such merrymaking as is not under the ban the "elder" has placed on amusements in the colony. Roast 'possum will be the piece de resistance of all the feasts. Shake-Up In The Police Department Shake-Up In The Police Department Five detective sergeants assigned to the detective bureau and forty-three patrolmen in various parts of the city were shifted yesterday by general order No. 77 issued by Chief of Police Garrity.

Crosby is alleged to have attacked a 63-year-old white woman this week and Phifer is charged with assault on a young white woman about a month ago. Both men are said to be held in the Mobile county jail for safe keeping. Preliminary hearings will be held this week. The preliminary trials will be private because of threats made in the past few days to lynch the men when they are brought here for trial. Man Gets Life Term for Woman's Murder Louisville, Ky., Oct. 1.—Pleading guilty to the murder of Daisy Harris, colored, last April, Ben Gray was sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary by a jury in criminal court yesterday. The woman was killed in the rear of 732 So. Second st., and the following day Gray confessed to Patrolman McCue that he had fired three shots into her body. The grand jury returned an indictment against William S. Decoursey for the murder of Ernest Downs in Highland Park, and a true bill against Max Syetta for attempting to break into a storehouse. Charges of grand larceny against James Branham, Della Parrott and Charles and Lizzie Trevis were dismissed by the grand jury. To Communicate With Planet Mars. Professor Will Try to Talk to People on Planet. (Special to The Whip.) Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23.—Leo Stevens, balloon instructor at Fort Omaha, announced today that Prof. David Todd will attempt to communicate with the planet Mars this fall in a balloon to be constructed and piloted by Stevens. The balloon, to be the largest ever made, will ascend 50,000 feet, Stevens said. Its capacity will be 140,000 feet. The balloon will be enabled to rise to the expected height, Stevens said, by use of an invention which divides the balloon in two compartments, the upper containing hydrogen gas, and the lower fresh air. Professor Todd, just returned to Amhurst college from Brazil, has perfected a signalling apparatus for the experiments, Mr. Stevens said. Man Murdered; Body in Well (Special to The Whip.) Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 2.—A coroner's jury investigating the death of Jack Smith, 20, Negro laborer, whose body was found in a fourteen-foot pool at the Tennessee Chemical Company plant, West Nashville, with his neck broken, reported Tuesday afternoon the laborer was murdered with a blunt instrument at the hands of an unknown party. Police searching for the murderer were unable to find a clew Tuesday that might lead to the capture of the slayer. They will continue their investigation, detectives announced. The Negro's body was found in the pool by another negro shortly after 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. Louise Morton, combining business with pleasure, had just purchased a three-roomed bungalow in a summer colony of lakeside commuters. Here she hoped to rest from her labors as a trained nurse for a long, healthful summer and incidentally raise a fine garden. She stood on her small front porch in the midst of a litter of household goods and watched the furniture van tilt up over the hump in the road and disappear down the hill. "If three rooms can hold all these things, it's time to prove it," she declared, and set about her moving in with energy. Lights began to twinkle in the little bungalows around her as she sat down at last in the tidy little house and looked about. But the plowing! Last year's mutted grass covered the "10,000 square feet" that went with her camp. She called at the great white farmhouse on the slope of the hill, to ask advice the next morning. A workman met her, evidently a farmhand, who was driving the farm horse out on the wagon road. "Why, yes," said he, considering the blue gray eyes and chestnut locks before him, "I think I can get off to plow your little garden tonight after supper. It's light 'till pretty late now." As the sunset faded the farmhand drove his plow on to her little field and soon the furrows, straight and black, lay open to the night air, enriching its odor. "Ever plant before?" he asked as he rested the horses at the end of a row. "Oh, not a big garden like this," said Louise, noting the well shaped head and the graceful vigor of the figure leaning against the horses, battered hat in hand. "I've planned a fine one," she continued, and was surprised to remember later how interesting it had been to explain it all to Mr. Ward, as he gave his name. "Till come over tomorrow and harrow it," he offered as he swung his team into the road at last. "Till be so glad to have you," said Louise, happily "for I can hardly wait to get my little farm started." The garden grew apace. The flourishling potatoes nodded a sea of blossoms, the corn was blithely green, butterflies hovered over the tender peas. Already the posters of the county fair ornamented the store windows and bulletin boards. All the neighborhood was incited to greater efforts yet by the offer of a silver cup to the winner of the most awards at the fair. As the days went on the vegetables responded to the zealous care Louise expended upon them. Mr. Ward offered to take her exhibits to the hall in his wagon, and he suggested entering the great purple pansies and the flaming nasturtiums also. She asked the dairy maid at the farm when she went for the milk if Mr. Ward was about. "He's in town today at the office," replied the girl. "The office," thought Louise, "probably his employer's; I wonder who the owner of the farm is." But after supper he came and condoned about the giant squash leaves. The blight wouldn't hurt the vegetables, and the drought was nearly over, too, for already the sky was clouding for a tempest. And Mr. Ward handled her treasures carefully and appreciated the beauty of their arrangement. You can't help getting some prizes with these jewels," he assured her. She went up with the neighbors on the early train next day to hear the opening speeches. To her great surprise Mr. Ward was announced as chairman of the fair committee, and he gave a dignified and interesting speech of welcome and then introduced the others on the platform. When the gray luncheon party of the neighborhood was over, and the afternoon had begun to wane, and all the winners of honors in the lake community had compared their results, she saw Mr. Ward coming toward her as she stood with a group about a wonderful silvery cow with a little calf beside her. The others greeted him gaily with the easy introduction of country customs. "So you are the owner of the great farm near our lake," said Mrs. Freeman. "I always supposed you were a hired man, you attended Miss Morton's garden so diligently." "Well, there's no disgrace in hiring out to help the neighbors, I'm sure, Mrs. Freeman," he replied. They went over toward the office quarters. "So you are not a hired man at all?" asked Louise. "No. I have an office in town, but this summer I decided to have up a garden of my own, so I came up to my farm for the summer for a change. You don't mind my telling you about your mistake in taking me for the hired man, do you?" He stopped at the lower step and looked at her anxiously. "No," said Louise happily. "Now that I've won the awards and the silver cup I won't scold about anything." The judges were already descending the stairs to meet her. There was only a minute left, but he made good use of it. "And will you let me drive you home tonight—Louise?" "Yes," whispered Louise, turning to greet the judges. "And heaven bless that garden," breathed her "hired man" fervently. (Copyright, 1919, McClure Newspaper Symb 1 THE WHIP Experts claim you can't tell which is the strongest league, the National or the American. Well, if anyone of the so-called experts can tie this bunch in their respective positions in the National League, I'll take low and beat it. Schalk, Sisler, E. Collins, Scott, Jackson, Speaker and Cobb. There is only one position left to the National League—Third Base Groh is the best in the National League. And that's the only place open for an argument, with the pitchers an open choice. But to make it a representative team I'd shove Buck Weaver in at third and Cicotte, Ruth, Johnson, Mays and Williams as pitchers, and let the experts get busy and bring me a team in the National League that could win five out of nine. Misfortune comes in pairs for the man whose opponent holds three of a kind. It takes a genuine society person to say unpleasant things pleasantly. Deafness in women is due to their failure to practice the art of listening. Cincinnati fans up to the past few weeks only knew of the American League by hearsay. Now they are making a deep study of the junior circuit, learning the first names of the White Sox players. Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, is not in favor of playing the proposed post-season series with Pittsburgh. It was world series or nothing for them. Wonder if the farmers of this country will ever plant rye again? The city folks have planted it in their cellars. A reformed conductor tells us that when he was running a dining car he never knew a passenger to fail to remove his hat. An ex-dining car waiter says he knows of innumerable cases where passengers have not failed to remove pieces of silver from tables, such as spoons and sugar tongs—and from the cash tray twenty-five and ten cent pieces. Possibly the strategic move of the steel strike was to permit workers to attend the world series games. It is pretty hard to tell nowadays by his hair cut whether he is a rube or a genius. Suppose six years ago someone had suggested the Reds would be winning a pennant just as the Athletics were finishing last for the fifth time? As this old world goes round and round some go up and some go down. When a woman is unable to say anything nice about a man she tries to make up for it by saying he comes from a good family. Anyway, there is one traveling man in the United States who takes his wife along. One head, emerging from the soup trough, meets an inflated dome on its way to the gutter. The worm may turn, but what does it get him? In the process of looking before you leap you may also lose the impetus of a running start. If Babe Ruth played on the Cub team the property owners on Sheffield avenue never could have insured their front windows. Funny how Hoyne's Sherlocks could not connect the loop gamblers with the riots. Two lives were lost there and the Daily News claims there are more gambling places there than any ward in the city.

Now the western chess tournament is to be decided there before the world's series starts. Herzog has played in forty games without an error. He also got by without committing the mistake of sassing the umpire and getting thrown out of the game. Doc Parker is driving a high powered pearl gray car with enclosed winter wheels. In the window of a closed saloon in South State street is displayed a theatrical sign which reads "Broken Blossoms." An old bachelor says a fool and his money are soon wedded.

President Wilson's visit to Reno was not for the purpose of divorcing the southern crackers from his cabinet. No, Hazel, all baseball players are not base men. In all the discussion of the League of Nations I have not learned how the United States representative is to be selected. Is he elected by the people, chosen by congress, or is he to be appointed by Wouldroam Woody? I know this is a small detail of the league, but since the other two leagues—the American and National—give to the public all "info" on the world series and require the contestants to appear before the public until the victor has won five out of nine, I would like to know how the man who has a small and insignificant part in representing 100,000,000 people in the battle of wits and diplomacy is chosen? Fullerton figures the Sox offensive as 1,039, and the Red's offensive as 1,033. That makes six points difference. Exactly what I figure. Except that I can't figure the Sox better than 1,038 and the Reds 1,032. Ever see two experts agree absolutely? About the only good thing that can be said in some men's favor is that they are not society favorites. The old Elite No. 1, the cradle of the "shimmy," has failed to function. Pierre Lewis, condemned French traitor, entertains the delusion that he is already dead, in this respect differing from a lot of our self-styled leaders, who have been dead a long time and don't know it or refuse to acknowledge it. Even if doctors and ministers do strike, there are lots of veterinaries and justices of the peace to be sworn in as strike-breakers. Everybody seems to wan to go to the world's series games this year. If church was only as popular with the men on Sunday morning and admission was charged, there would not be any more complaints about the clergy being poorly paid.

State st., which has been newly remodeled. It is also in connection with a hat cleaning establishment. The success these men have had in the amusement business should serve as a source of inspiration to colored men in this line of business, who, instead of saving their money and enlarging their business, take their profits and buy fine clothes, diamonds, and liquor. They employ all colored help, engage colored lawyers for counsel and doctors for family use. First Football Death of Year in First Game Durham, N. H., Sept. 28.—Gardner Dow of New Haven, center on the Connecticut Agricultural college football team, died last night from concussion of the brain, received in the game with New Hampshire college. In the second half he tackled one of the New Hampshire men who was running back a punt and was rendered unconscious. He was also injured in the stomach.

If a young man stops running after a girl, its doughnuts to fudge she'll turn around and run after him. There once was a home run record—then along came Ruth. The idea of the Episcopal church appropriating money to christianize the Jews strikes the latter as absurd, as we knew it would be. Besides, in the course of human events the Jews will own the Episcopal churches, and then they can appropriate the funds to christianize themselves. What we would like now would be a parade of profiteers with banners announcing the identity of each division so we'd know how hard to throw. After hearing Wandering Woody and Highfaluting Hiram, I move that article 10 be referred to Madame X. for interpretation. Welsh, the new outfielder in the Athletic line-up, comes from the Norfolk club of the Virginia League. Manager Gleason hays he don't care whether the world series is for seven games, nine or a hundred, that the White Sox can beat the Reds hands down any number, and he talks like he meant it. A man may be down, but he's never out. With me steaks are out until they come down. Understand the piano players are going to strike for a seven-note scale. The general strike in Boston hit an infield fly. What's the use of striking if there be no bulls to battle. --- THE CHICAGO WHIP ORLD O y Jim Vane English and American Racing Ways New York, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A. J. Joyner, one of America's most prominent trainers of thoroughbreds, who followed his profession in England for eight years, having charge of horses owned by the late Herman B. Duryear, H. P. Whitney, August Belmont and Lord Lonsdale, in speaking of matters pertaining to the turf in the United States a few days ago, made the following timely comments on the sport as he has known it: "English racing is under stricter surveillance than ours, and foul riding will not be tolerated. A boy must follow a straight course, and unless the stewards are satisfied that a jockey was unable to keep his mount straight he comes under the ban. The usual plan is to caution a rider the first time he is guilty of improper practices. A repetition means a long suspension or a cancellation of his license. The boys, knowing this, are careful, and as a rule, there is little rough riding, even in the biggest fields. "I saw the race for the Epsom Derby in which Craganour was disqualified," resumed Mr. Joyner. "Mr Ismay was unfortunate in that race as I saw it, for Aboyeur, which was placed first, repeatedly bumped Craganour, and it looked like two tired horses fighting it out for the finish. The situation was different from that with which the Westchester stewards were confronted in the Realization. The stewards give the sport their closest attention, even to details. One of them frequently goes to the post and takes notes of the behavior of the jockeys at the start. Riders are also under constant supervision at other times. One or more stewards may be seen taking an active interest in the conduct of the sport at every meeting throughout England. Some of our American boys, when they went over, thought the discipline on English courses severe at first but it worked for their general good in the end." When asked how he regarded the horses of the present day in the United States. Mr. Joyner said: Gives Crown to Man O' War. "Every now and then we are asked to compare horses of our day with those of former times, and while it is exceedingly difficult to class the races of different periods, I, for one, must declare in favor of those that made turf history for us in the decade prior to 1908. Man o' War is without doubt a first class two-year-old, and Purchase has every appearance of making good in the three-year-old division. Both have size and speed, and the former in particular, beats his horses in a way that compels me to place him among the best juveniles I have even seen, here or abroad. As good as Colin? Yes, as good as anything we have ever seen anywhere." Asked if the sprinters of the present day in the United States compared with the best of those he had seen abroad, Mr. Joyner said: "English sprinters are in the main better than ours, ours Naturalist and Lucullite are both fast horses and could win any country. Harmonicon and Whisk Broom II, which were both bred in the United States, the former being Disguise and the latter by Broomstick, were able to hold their own when I had them in England, and they invariably headed the handicap. They were horses of great bulk, and Whisk Broom II was a real champion at a mile. Race horses come in all sizes, Mediant, with which I won the Stewards' Cup and the Champion Sprint Handicap, standing not more than 15½ hands. "Our horses must improve from now on as a result of owners in this country obtaining so much good blood during the period of the war which it was possible to secure stock which would not otherwise be on the market at any price. The English sportsman does not count the price when he wants a particular mare or yearling. The Sarotoga sales this summer show that we are fast getting to the same idea, and it augurs well for the future of racing in America." (Continued on Page 9.) American Giants Beat Cuban Stars in Their Final Game of Season 4-2 American Giants Beat Cuban Stars in Their Final Game of Season 4-2 Schorling Park, Sept. 28.—Cubans lost their last game in Chicago Sunday by the masterly pitching of Whitworth of the American Giants, who was back in midsummer form and would have scored a shut-out but for Williams and his error. He held the Cubans to three widely scattered hits, of which one was a scratch. After holding the giants to four hits in six innings, Tolso weakened in the seventh and allowed three hits, with two stolen bases sandwiched in, producing two runs, which proved enough to win the game. The hitting of Torrenti and Whitworth, coupled with the fielding of the former and the pitching of the latter, were the outstanding features of a fast and interesting game. | | r. h. po. a | | :--- | :--- | | Gans, rf | 0 1 0 0 | | DeMoss, 2b | 0 1 2 1 | | Charleston, cf | 1 1 1 0 | | Torrienti, lf | 1 2 6 1 | | Dixon, c | 0 1 5 3 | | Francis, 3b | 0 0 2 2 | HOW FREEMAN AND RUTH MADE HOME RUN RECORDS Ruth's 1919 Record Men on Date.

Babe Ruth Slugging King Babe Ruth Slugging King Boston, Saturday, Sept. 20.—In the ninth inning of the first game of a double-header between the White Sox and Red Sox, Ruth put the ball in the left field bleachers for a home run, winning the game; and making his twenty-seventh home run of the season. These twenty-seven home runs have scored 55 runs for the Red Sox. Four of his home runs have come with the bases loaded. The following "simps" let him hit in that crack: Davenport of St. Louis; Schalke of New York; Coumbe of Cleveland and Doss of Detroit. The one off Coumbe was the hardest blow of all, for it knocked Lee Fohl out of his job as manager of the Cleveland Indians. Babe Ruth is the hardest hitter that ever strode the diamonds. They can talk of their sluggers of the old days, but they never had a Babe Ruth. There will be many a year before the equal of the Boston slugger will be found. Buck Freeman's record was made in a small park where one could almost kick the ball over the fence. The fields of today are bigger than the old ones. Why, say, if that big mauler was in the old lot, he would have a hundred home runs by this time. The long flies that are caught on Ruth, would have been homers in the old days. There is the field in Boston, for example, Fenway Park, is far bigger than the old time fields, and Comiskey Park is the second largest field in the major league, but Ruth gets his homers just the same. If he were playing in St. Louis all the year or for a half year, he would make a record that would cause the world to gasp. I bet he would make 60 home runs in St. Louis. I have been going to ball games before the fielders wore glasses; pitchers wore gloves and the catcher wore breast protectors and shin guards but believe me when he sailed that one over the bleachers off Mayer at Comisky Park, the unanimous opinion of the fans present was that he put the slug in slugging. Unions Giants Win in 9th Laporte, Ind., Sept. 28. —(Special to The Whip.)—A passed ball in the ninth inning gave the Chicago Union Giants a 1-to-0 victory over the Advanced Rumleys, chaimpion semi-pros of northern Indiana. The game was a pitchers' battle between Simpson and Young, Simpson holding the Rumleys to four hits. The score: Giants .....0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—1 7 2 Rumleys ..0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0—0 4 3 Batterics — Simpson and White, Young and Rositer. --- -8- FULLERTON'S SYSTEM CAN'T BE AT FAULT You Will Have to Blame the Ball Clubs. Comes now Hugh Fullerton with his dope on how the world's series will turn out, not a bit abashed that the teams he picked last April to play it this October won't be on the field. Yes, Hughey, the well-known figure expert, gave little thought to the White Sox and none at all to the Reds last spring when he "predicted" how the major league races would run. List to what Fullerton said on April 23, the day the major leagues opened, on how they would finish: "The world's series will be between Cleveland, which team will win out after a hard struggle with Boston, and the Chicago Cubs, who, after a wabbly start, will wear down and beat out the New York Giants, with Pittsburgh fading out toward the end of the season. "The dope leaves no doubt as to how the teams ought to finish. I have tested it out in three different ways and the result of each test has been approximately the same." Here Are the Exact Figures Having thus made sure of the general proposition Fullerton gives the details of the finish—down to the number of games that will be won and lost—and furnishes the proven club standing for each major league as follows: American League. Cleveland .....85 55 Boston .....82 58 Chicago .....77 63 New York .....71 69 Philadelphia .....65 75 St. Louis .....61 79 Washington .....61 79 Detroit .....58 82 Win. Lose. Chicago .....93 47 New York .....89 51 Pittsburgh .....78 62 Brooklyn .....68 72 Boston .....66 74 Cincinnati .....63 77 St. Louis .....55 85 Philadelphia .....48 92 The absolute reliability of Fullerton dope from every carefully constructed angle may be testified to by inspection of the club standing as carried in current prints. In making his calculations Fullerton admitted that he was surprised at the way some of them worked out, but this surprise did not sway him from the absolute conclusions which were reached by his uncontestable system. For instance, he said in his "prediction" under date of April 23: This Dope Indeed Astonishing "It is astonishing to find that the dope indicates the Detroit Tigers will finish last in the American League, with Washington and St. Louis tied for sixth place and the Athletics leading the second division. In the older league, Philadelphia should finish a poor last." Fullerton goes on to say that Detroit should start well, then slip. As a matter of fact, Detroit did not start well, but was in the second division except for a few days now and then until after the Fourth of July. He said that in the National League the Cubs would have a slow start and then come fast in the latter stages. As a matter of fact, the Cubs have hardly been out of the first division all season. However, in justice to Fullerton, he did here and there hit off somewhere near a few things that happened, but even so, as a prognosticator he runs way down in the second division. Joliet, 19; Hammond, 4 Joliet, Ill., Sept. 28.—Joliet slaughtered Hammond today, 19 to 4. Midtown allowed only two hits after the first inning, while Buckeye was pounded for twenty-one safeties.

So we don't know what his limit is. He may be better. It's sure that Leonard has done everything asked of him. And it is not his fault if the competition is not what it used to be in his class. He is the only real champion of the world. He does not draw the color line, something that cannot be said of any of the other divisions of the fight game. He does not stall. He does not content with winning on points by a small margin, although he is clever enough to do it. One thing about Leonard, which is a quality seen in all first-class champions, is his knack of winning wherever he meets on the second time. He knew all about how to beat Welsh the third time they met. He boxed ten rounds with Kilbane in 1915. After becoming champion he met Kilbane again. This time he knew all about Kilbane's fighting style and beat him to his favorite punches and knocked him out in three rounds. Leonard can win in a hurry when he feels like hurrying. He fought Leo Johnson, a very clever colored light-weight, who was regarded as extremely dangerous. When the two stripped in the ring and stepped out to face each other Johnson seemed to have every advantage in the world. He was a perfect picture of a smooth-moving, lithe, hard-hitting fighter. Benny went into him like a whirlwind and knocked him cold in the first round. He took a hard lacing when he met Willie Richie in a four-round bout with Richie. When Benny's left eye was closed tight and he could not see eye in time to block, that time he fought back gamely, in the last round recovering and holding Richie even in the last two minutes of hard fighting. But when they met the second time he stopped him in eight rounds. But Benny has not been hit by anyone like Dal Hawkins. Nobody knows what would happen in that case. In Gans' time the world was full of hard hitters. Dal Hawkins had a left-hand punch delivered slowly at full arm's length with a sudden twist of the wrist that was like a blow with a hammer. He landed that on Gans in the first round of each of their two famous fights, and each time knocked Gans flat and nearly out. Yet Gans each time came up, stalled, recovered and fought furiously and knocked out Hawkins. When Gans had been fight- 1900—"Mysterious Billy" Smith lost on a foul to Joe Walcott, ten rounds, Hartford, Conn., Sept. 24. 1900 — Dan Creedon knocked out Billy Peyton, seven rounds, Baltimore, Ma., Sept. 21. 1901—Benny Yanger defeated Geo.

But he was fighting men like George McFadden, Spider Kelly, Jack Daly, Kid McPhittland, Young Griffo, George Blackburn, Bobby Dobbs, Willie Fitzgerald, Frank Erne and scores of others, who were great because they were brought up on long fights, from twenty to forty-five rounds instead of the six and ten round no decision bouts of today. Joe Gans' record outclasses that of the present champion. Gans lost to Sam Langford in 1903 in fifteen rounds. Langford was a little heavier than Gans at that time, but a 'error. Again, while lightweight champion, Gans fought Welter Champion Joe Walcott, famous all over the world then as the "Barbados Demon" and the "Giant Killer." Walcott had knocked Joe Choynski and had beaten Kid Carter, Jimmie Handler, Jack Boner, George Gardiner and stacks of other heavy-weight. That's the kind of a scrapper he was. Benny Leonard has not met his kind yet. I witnessed the fight with Walcott. It was held in San Francisco during the month of October, 1904. They fought twenty rounds at 141 pounds ringside, which Gans made as strong as a lion. But it weakened Walcott to make the ringside weight. He had to weigh in stripped and return to his dressing room and consumed one hour to dress—the whole length of this time Gans sitting in his corner in the ring waiting for Walcott to reappear. It was only after continuous hooting of the vast throng present* that Walcott made his appearance. The referee called it a draw. The decision caused a near riot because it was a heavy betting affair and the Gans followers figured he had been robbed. The consensus of opinion was that Gans was entitled to the decision and the wetter-weight title, which is supposed to be 141 ringside, a weight Walcott could not make and be at his best. Leonard won his fight with splendid speed, courage and hitting power. But it takes more than a ten-round sprint to show what is really a fighter. Until Leonard goes through a couple of twenty-round bouts with the best of his rivals there will be no way to compare him with the old-time champion of champions in the lightweight division, Joe Gans, the old master.

Some have accepted and will address the convention. Come out and hear them! Every citizen of Chicago is cordially invited to attend the session of what will be the biggest and most representative assembly of colored working men in American history. In labor organization work among Race men, "The International" is the pioneer—having 104 local organizations extending from coast to coast and from St. Paul to the Gulf. The biggest invitation ball ever given in Chicago will be held on Thursday evening, October 9th, at the 8th Regiment Armory. All local members come to headquarters and get your invitations. Each member can invite eight friends. Are you a friend of Chicago's colored railway men? If so, we expect your presence at all convention sessions and at the ball. It is illustrative of the uncertainties of racing that none of the champion two-year-olds since 1914 proved to be champion three-year-old of its following year. Infirm legs beset Dominant. Campfire's failure was signal. Sun Briar's early career was disheartening, but when summer's heat arrived he improved steadily and at Saratoga was about all an owner could have asked for. But he was not raced on and Johren was the best three-year-old of last year. Eternal's failure in the early racing of this year was about as complete as that of Sun Briar in the early racing of 1918. Now he is in retirement with a bad leg encased in a plaster cast, and the championship rests in dispute between Sir Barton and Purchase. A special race between these two at even weights would be highly interesting. The foregoing is a condition that does not always obtain. Old Rosebud was the best two-year-old of 1913, and until he fell lame was the best three-year-old of the year following. Regret was invincible as a two-year-old and maintained her superiority when a three-year-old. This year Man o' War is away off by himself as our best two-year-old. All men of experience and good judgment agree that he is a racer of the highest class. His work for the SMALL FIELDS AT BELMONT PARK BRING OUT SOME RACING ODDITIES New York, Sept. 30.—Dame Fortune played strange pranks during the recent meeting at Belmont Park in the matter of winners coming from certain post positions. In seventy races run more than 50 per cent of the winners started from either number one or number two position at the post. This was extraordinary and due in many instances to the small fields. Statistics show that there were nineteen winners came from number one position, seventeen from number two, seven from number three, nine from number four, eight from number five, five from six, two from seven, two from eight, none from nine and one from ten. These figures show that 27 per cent of the winners started from number one position and 24 per cent from number two. Looking over the problem of favorites winning and losing, twenty-two favorites out of seventy won races on which odds were laid, while thirty-six favorites won races, and there were sixteen winners at 6 to 1 or better. In all there were thirty-four favorites beaten out of seventy races or fully 50 per cent. This shows a pretty equal division, as but 36 per cent of favorites won at Belmont Park last fall. This increase was no doubt due to the small fields which predominated. One out the seventy races recorded there were thirty-two winners where odds of even money up to 5 to 1 prevailed, or nearly 50 per cent. These figures are of interest to system followers, as they show the most productive results come from the class of horses that range in price from even money to 5 to 1. Comparing the fall meeting of this year with that of 1918, there were twice as many winners at odds-on CING Two r Old Champion year is done, and he has been sent into well earned retirement to await the disclosure of his three-year-old form, probably in next year's Kentucky Derby. What that form is to be is really one of the most interesting racing problems of the time. If this superb two-year-old escapes the mischances of one sort and another which marred the three-year-old careers of Dominant, Campfire, Sun Briar and Eternal and makes normal growth and improvement between now and next spring, we should have an undisputed champion three-year-old in 1920 in this splendid son of Fair Play. Man o' War is winner of the greatest amount of money as a two-year-old since Colin's year. His defeat by Upset in the Sanford Memorial Stakes was a fluke, and nothing but bad luck in that race prevented him from leaving racing with a record unsullied by defeat. It is for the good of racing that a horse of the highest order should make its appearance from time to time, and so far as present appearances go Man o' War is probably destined to achieve a reputation akin to that which the glorious deeds of Hindoo, Luke Blackburn, Hanover, Sysonby and Colin earned for them in their days of triumph. His record this year is worth more than looking over carelessly, and here it is: Track Distance. Time. Value monton Park $% straight... 59 $ 500 monton Park $% straight... 1.06 3/5 $ 4,200 monton Park $% straight... 1.06 5/5 $ 4,200 meduct $% straight... 1.01 3/5 $ 2,825 meduct $% straight... 1.13 $ 4,800 stratoga $% straight... 1.12 2/5 $ 7,600 stratoga $% straight... 1.11 1/5 $ 700 stratoga $% straight... 1.12 $ 7,600 stratoga $% straight... 1.12 $ 24,600 monton Park $% straight... 1.11 3/5 $ 20,650 this year as last, and nearly one-third more winning choices. These facts were made up of horses in which one or two would stand out distinctly from the remainder, while the winning outsiders last year were decidedly more numerous than they were this year, showing the contestants were more evenly balanced in 1918. Scarcity of starters had much to do with these results.

Asked why she had not done so after receiving a strong tip in his favor, she replied: "I felt I could not back him because he has such a horrible name!" "Horrible name!

It was a Goodwood, England, judge who once had an experience probably unique in the history of racing. The day was blazing hot. A couple of sheep on a hillside a half mile away caught his attention. He kept his eyes on them lazily. The next he knew was that some one was shouting in his ear: "Look!" and the heavy hand of the shouter, a policeman, fell on his shoulder. He looked just in time.

America's Richest Race Scheduled for October 11th at Latonia, Ky. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 27.—The $50,000 Latonia championship stakes, said to be America's richest race, will be decided at the Latonia race course Saturday, Oct. 11, according to announcement by the Kentucky Jockey club. Announcement of the date has been withheld until details of the world's series baseball games were made known in order to avoid conflict with the Cincinnati dates. The race is for 3-year-olds at one and three-fourths miles. Harvard Crushes Bates 53-0 in Opening Game of Season Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 27.—Harvard's reconstructed football eleven drove eight times across the Bates goal line today in the first varsity game in the stadium since the war, and with five goals from touchdowns rolled up a score of 53 to 0. The visitors were only once within goal shooting distance of the Crimson posts. In the first period Casey, the star backfielder of the 1916 eleven, was unloosed for open field running and made two dashes, one of forty and the other sixty yards, for scores. In the second and fourth periods the Crimson eleven made two marches of forty yards each down the field for scores and four other touchdowns resulted from catching forward passes hurled by Bates, and errors of the visitors under their own goal posts.

B Fastest Big League Game of the Season New York, Sept. 29.—A season record for brevity was set in the first game of a double header between New York and Philadelphia, when in fifty-one minutes the Giants scored a victory, 6 to 1. New York won the second contest also, 7 to 1. In the first game Barnes won his twenty-fifth victory, the only National league pitcher to touch that mark. The nearest approach to the day's record was the time of fifty-five minutes made by Cincinnati and Brooklyn. A few years ago the Giants played an exhibition game with Philadelphia in thirty-two minutes, while preparing for the world's series with Boston. Deerfield, 55; Lindblom, 7.

Proviso, 20; Thornton, 6 Proviso heavies invaded Harvey and carried off a 20 to 6 victory against Thornton in a game marked by ragged play. The home team got the jump when James recovered a Proviso fumble and ran thirty yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and led at half time, 6—0. Chairio, a light but fleet youngster, scooped a fumble by Thornton and dashed sixty yards for a score in the third period, and in the final quarter the visitors held a clear edge. Ziebell got around end for thirty-five yards for one score and Wiedbusch went over after an advance of forty-five yards on straight football. The 1918 Suburban champion Proviso lights met disaster at Loyola field, where they were beaten by Lake View, 19 to 0, in a fast game. Oak Park, 67; Harrison, 0 Oak Park scored almost at will against Harrison tech, winning shutouts in both ends of the interleague double header on the suburban field. The major game resulted 67 to 0, and the lightweights 47 to 0. Austin Teams Break Even Austin lightweights defeated Crane, while the heavies lost a game, but gained in glory by their showing against the school alumni at Gunther park. The alumni, with a majority of players from the A. E. F., were victors by 14 to 0. The school team's offense was promising, but the defense gradually weakened under the onslaught of ex-service men. In the lightweight tilt, Austin beat Crane, 12 to 0, in a game in which straight plays prevailed. After a season of defeat in 1918 Evanston High hit a winning stride in the first game of the season, beating Senn, 13 to 0, at Northwestern field. Senn held for downs twice within the five yard zone in the first period, but straight football landed a touchdown in the second. Falcon going over. In the third quarter, Billows returned Senn's kickoff sixty yards, then a pass to Montgomery and fake end run by Johnson netted another score.

The heavyweights wrested victory from East Aurora in a bitter game, 13 to 7. Olson, La Grange, scored in the first quarter by a spectacular fifty-yard dash on a delayed buck. La Grange was penalized half the length of the field after a brush in mid-field by some of the players, and this put Aurora within a foot of the goal in the second quarter. Modicher bucked for the necessary foot. La Grange also scored in the second quarter. Making their first touchdown within 3 minutes, Senn lightweights beat La Grange 20 to 6. Lineups: East Aurora, 7.

AMERICA'S GREATEST PROBLEM FIFTH SERIES By Dr. Daniel Johnson, Sr. Our theme should serve as a warning to the nation and to the Southland. Up! The day is dawning! For when the day of the Negro's freedom is fully come he will be needed by the country to form its best and most effective troops against aggression which will surely come. He will be needed by the South within two generations (if immigration succeeds) to keep the pol- [Name] itics of the South from the management of foreign ideals. For there are two other things which are sure, "as sure as death and taxes," they are that foreigners are clannish and will vote for their own, and that the Negro will always be the balance of power in the South and in this country. And all the constitutional conventions and class legislation can retard it but little. But the one to whom the call "Up!" is most earnestly directed, and whom the whole subject concerns most is the Negro himself. question" of protection of one class of her citizens in another country can also protect her citizens at home whatever their color or previous condition. He must co-operate with the force which tend to bring the race question to the fore for investigation, knowing that it can not be changed by being allowed to lie dormant. For a thing which is quiet is already settled and must be agitated if it has not been settled to suit those most interested For example: The thirteenth, four Even if prostrate, he can raise his head, see and listen. Many of the national issues in which the Negro as such is not named have more reference to him than to any other class of people. Indeed, if there were no Negroes in the United States much vile legislation, acrimonious debate, villainous court decisions, and at least one devastating war would never have disgraced and sorrowed our national life. But listen: All agitation is good for the Negro. By boiling "the bottom of the pot" is brought to the top; by agitation race questions come to the surface. The northern Negro has begun to agitate and "object" and "view with alarm." All these things "work together for the good" of the Negro; and he must raise his head and see and litsen. Again: The Negro must understand Dr. Cassell Visits America in Interest of Education Having repeatedly been requested to make some public statement respecting my visit to the United States I take this opportunity yto do so. I was elected president of Liberia College in January, 1918. At the same meeting the board of trustees gave me the authority to visit the United States and confer with the trustees of donations for education in Liberia at Boston and the New York Colonization Society, New York. These boards had in the earlier years of the college rendered it considerable financial assistance, but had in recent years withdrawn almost wholly such assistance. The Boston board pays $500 toward the president's salary. The reasons for such an attitude it was deemed necessary to inquire into. The two boards together control invested funds, which yield an annual income of about $10,000. This amount, if placed at the disposal of the college, would go a far way toward meeting the expenses of the institution in accordance with our new plan. Liberia College opened its doors in 1863. Its graduates have been the officials of the republic, the judges of its courts, the heads of its school system, its own presidents, professors and instructors, the officers of its army, leaders in religious and social work, --- the signs of the times. Let him compare his present status and the agitation of questions which affect him with the history of the people from that of Israel to that of Japan, and he will be glad to note that the times are propitious, "his redemption draweth nigh." For the day is dawning! For instance: The abrogation of the Russian treaty at the instance of and for the protection of our Jewish fellow citizens may convince our friends that a country which is able to "take up the P. question" of protection of one class of her citizens in another country can also protect her citizens at home, whatever their color or previous condition. He must co-operate with the forces which tend to bring the race question to the forre for investigation, knowing that it can not be changed by being allowed to lie dormant. For a thing which is quiet is already settled and must be agitated if it has not been settled to suit those most interested. For example: The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution were supposed by our friends to have settled the status of the Negro; but that settlement did not and does not suit our oppressors; so they have been and are strenuously agitating the question of having the amendments (especially the fifteenth) repealed. Again: The iniquitous constitutions of several southern states have in a manner nullified the aforesaid amendments, and our friends in the North are agitating the question by threatening to reduce southern representation in the national congress. It requires agitation to shake up things again and again until the settling is satisfactory. Therefore the Negro must co-operate with the agitators. (To Be Continued.) leading merchants and business men artisans and mechanics. Opportunity Before College Being the center of the social, intellectual and business life of the republic, the college has the opportunity to prepare and mold the lives of the educators, statesmen, soldiers, lawyers, physicians, clergymen, social leaders, merchants, artisans and farmer. These men in turn shape the lives and affairs of the leaders of the native crutes living on the coast and in the interior of Africa. Its opportunity for the civilization and leadership in Africa is bounded only by the waters that wash its coasts. The college must take its natural and legitimate place in Africa—develop African thought, carry on research work, create schools of agriculture, science, medicine, law and religion—in a word, grow into an African university to which students from all parts of the world can resort for study and research. This will bring back to Africa the palmy days of Egyptian science, art and literature. Such a state of affairs will make for the self-determination of African peoples; there will be built up a real and enduring democracy in Africa—physical, mental, moral, social, economic, religious emancipation. Needs of the College For administration, offices, living quarters for the pres- ident, professors and in- structors.....$ 50,000 For new dormitories.....50,000 For running college annually.....25,000 For an adequate endowment. 500,000 Have Met the Boards Since arriving in the United States I have met the trustees of donations for educations in Liberia at Boston and the New York Colonization Society of New York and had several conferences with them. I have also met the American Colonization Society at its headquarters in Washington and spoken with them. The following resolution authorizing my action has been presented: Resolved, That Rev. Dr. Nathaniel H. B. Cassel, president of Liberia College, is hereby empowered to proceed to the United States of America and conduct and conclude such negotiations and arrangements looking toward the efficient working of said college by the board of Trustees in Liberia and the auxiliary boards connected with said college in the United States as in his and their judgment will secure efficiency and progress. He is also empowered to collect books, pamphlets, maps, etc. to form the nucleus of a library in place of the one destroyed by a tornado fifteen years ago and generally to do anything which in his judgment will conduce to the end in view. I presented along with the above resolution an outline of the work I desire to do at the college in the future. The boards have decided to co-operate in the best possible way to assist the college. The Boston board decided to place the annual income of the funds in their trust, amounting to $2,000, at the disposal of the college. The Boston board has contributed very generously toward the expenses of the president of the college during his visit to this country. The New York board has agreed to supply a first rate instructor from this country to teach in the college, said teacher when selected will sail with the president on his return at the end of November. The New York board will pay the traveling expenses of said teacher, Dr. Dillard, well known in the United States, on behalf of the board and the president of the college, is endeavoring to find the right sort of teachers. The New York board met the expense of the president on his visit to the summer school in Hampton and Tuskegee institutes and a part course at the Teachers' College, Columbia University. These have been instructive and will assist the president very greatly in his work of reconstruction along proper lines at the college. Funds Available Inadequate While the new attitude taken by the boards since my visit and conferences, with them will place possibly about $4,000 more at the disposal of the college for educational work and the Liberian government pays $2,000 annually, the total amount is quite inadequate for the educational work of the college, not to speak of the buildings and equipment which are immediate necessities. The Liberian government will, as in the past, immediately before the war, give larger support to the college when her finances are rehabilitated. It may not be known that the European war, owing to the withdrawal of German merchants and the great falling off of trade generally, had a terrible economic and financial pressure on the Liberian republic. The republic had had to rely largely, almost altogether, upon customs' revenues for its finances. Now that the internal revenue is beginning to be systematized and developed a better day is expected. It is hoped with the introduction of the new loan from America proper roads and trade routes will be established into the interior and a railroad built, thereby bringing into Liberia much of the trade which is being diverted into the Britiish and French territory contiguous to Liberia. This territory, it was hoped, would revert back to Liberia as a result of a more liberal policy of the republic of France and the empire of Great Britain, the former having been unjustly dispossessed of Alsace and Lorraine by the Germans in 1871, and the latter having been influenced largely to go into the war because Belgium, a smaller country, was unjustly invaded by the German government. Liberians feel that their territory, according to the records of the past, was unfairly and without the proper show of justice taken from them. No two great powers because of their experiences in the last war are in a better position to act more liberally toward smaller nations and particularly toward the Negro republic in Africa in order that the republic may have a larger opportunity in Africa. St. Louis Leads In response for assistance to carry out the work planned for the college St. Louis leads in having decided to raise $5,000 in the month of September through a definite campaign in which the president of the college is to take part. Those directing are President A. H. Malone of Poro College and Revs. Clark and Stevens, leading ministers of St. Louis. Other gifts have come as a result of my visits to the different parts of the country and there is already on deposit at the Church Missionary House, 281 Fourth avenue, New York City, $1,200. Sev- THE CHICAGO WHIP Negroes Ask President for Representation at Industrial Conference New York, Sept. 26.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a letter to President Wilson calling his attention to the fact that no Negroes had been among the twenty-two men from all parts of the country invited to meet in Washington on Oct. 6 to plan new relations between labor and capital. The letter which is signed by John R. Shillady, asks the appointment of Negroes to the commission in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply, namely, 17 per cent. The letter reads: "President of the United States, "Washington, D. C. "Sir: "The press of September 18 tells of the invitation extended by you to twenty-two men residing in all parts of the country to meet in Washington October 6 next to 'formulate plans for development of a new relationship between capital and labor.' The dispatch also tells of the selection to be made later of an additional and equal number of conferences by organized labor and organized employers. "May we not call your attention to a fact that apparently was overlooked by you in the selection of these men and one which we feel should also be brought to your attention and that of the country at large?" "According to the census of 1910 there were in the United States at that time 7,317,922 Negroes over 10 years of age and of that number 5,192,535, or 71 per cent, were employed in gainful occupations. According to the same records there were in America 63,933,870 whites 10 years of age and over of which number only 32,974,056, or slightly less than 50 per cent, were employed in gainful occupations. We wish to call your attention to the fact that no one of the twenty-two persons invited by you to sit on this commission is of the colored race, although, according to the above records one of every six wageearners in the United States is of the colored race. "May we not also remind you of the fact that due to the exigencies arising as a result of the war immigration from Europe has been changed to emigration to Europe. The industrial vacuum thus created has, to a large extent, been filled and will continue to be filled by Negro workmen from the South. With his labor thus taking on a value hitherto unknown the Negro becomes more and more a factor in the industrial life of the country. In any discussion of the relations of the future between capital and labor, and particularly in view of the present unrest, may we not ask if it is at all wise to ignore in this manner nearly seventeen per cent of the labor of America? May we not, therefore, ask that if it is possible you appoint representatives of colored labor at least in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply? "Respectfully yours, "John R. Shillady, "Secretary." eral definite promises have been made amounting to $500 more. In the Country Until November The president of the college expects to be in the country until November during which he stands ready to give any information desired regarding the college and its work. He is ready to attend and make addresses or give lectures before mass meetings, organizations—social, civic, literary or religious—in promotion of the college. If his plans mature he hopes to get some teachers from the United States. He hopes he may be able to secure a competent male and female teacher to go with him to assist in the work of the college. Indorsements In the enlarged view of the work of the college and what is necessary to carry it out I have the indorsement of the board and people of Liberia, the boards of Boston and New York concerned in the college, the American Colonization Society, Bishop Lloyd, president of the P. E. Church Board of Missions, and Prof. Starr of Chicago University and quite a number of leading educators and leaders of both races in the United States. Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to this government, has given me every encouragement. I can always be reached at my general address while in America, Church Mission House, 281 Fourth avenue, New York City; after November 30, 1919, Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. Colored Men Seek Political Equality More Representatives Wanted! Will Try to Oust Madden. Oct. 28.—Next year's elections will witness an organized movement by the colored people of Chicago for representation of their own choosing on national, state, county, and local governing bodies. This does not mean that colored politicians plan to oust white leaders who have stood faithfully as their friends. One of the main cogs in the city hall's colored machine on the South Side, Edward H. Wright, who holds a $5,000 a year position in the corporation counsel's office, declared today that there is no united effort on the part of the leaders of his race to try to depose Congressman Martin B. Madden at next year's primaries, and send a colored man to congress from the first precinct of Chicago in his place. But the colored voters intend to assert their right to a colored man on the Republican county committee from the Second ward. They expect, too, to send three colored men to the constitutional convention from the First and Third districts. What Negroes Want. "What do the colored people want politically in the First Congressional district, where the bulk of those in Chicago live, and why?" Assistant Corporation Counsel Wright was asked today. "The Negro in the First Congressional district," replied Attorney Wright, "constitutes the backbone of the Republican party and he desires politically what any other element of the American people desire under like conditions. The Negro is a native born American; he is 100 per cent patriotic; he is intelligent and progressive and his ambition is to reach the status of absolute equality as an American citizen. "We feel that if we bear all the burdens and responsibilities of citizenship we should be accorded all the privileges that go with it. We want no special privileges—and we want no special handicaps. "In all matters in which the law governs we demand the same rights that other American citizens enjoy. But there is often friction and bad feeling between the Negro on the one side and all other races on the other because there is not a better understanding between the antagonistic elements. "That a better understanding may be brought about the Negro should be represented in all bodies that have to do with the shaping of policies under which the people must live. Should Be in All Bodies. "He should be represented in congress, in the legislature, in the council, in the governing committees of the political parties with which he affiliates. "It is unfortunate that the white man's unreasoning prejudice (no matter to what party he belongs) makes it almost a necessity that the Negro should have a preponderance of the vote in a certain territory or have at least the balance of power between the parties before he is given any political recognition. This has a tendency to compel the Negroes to draw racial lines as a matter of self-protection. This is all wrong on both sides. "The white man holds the solution of this question in his hands. Not having reached this desirable point, the Negro naturally seeks to combine his energies to achieve' those things that ought to be freely accorded to him if he produces a man competent and deserving of preferment. "The Negro Republicans of the Second ward believe that their people should be represented in the Cook county Republican committee. They believe that in the Second ward where the Negro constitutes 90 per cent of the Republican strength, they should select a colored man, not because he is colored, but because he is deserving and capable as the head of the Republican organization, with a voice in the management of the affairs of the party. "While many of the colored voters believe that in the First Congressional district an effort should be made to send a Negro to congress, there are many others who feel that Congressman Martin B. Madden has been the one conspicuous member of congress who has stood up for the rights of the Negro and they feel that common justice requires that they make no Residence, Douglas 1284 TELEPHONES: Office.

STATE STREET Residence 3162 Lake Park Avenue attacks upon Congressman Madden unless he should fail to co-operate with them in matters for their good in the district. "State Senator Ettelson, the present incumbent from the Third Senatorial district, has also earned their gratitude by his devotion to public justice. "There is no disposition to oppose him, but, should he retire, the Negro voters of the district believe that some colored Republican ought to be selected for his place. Will Raise Denomination Cry. "We believe we should apply the same rule to the delegates to the Republican convention from the First Congressional district. We should have one of the delegates and he should cast his vote for a man for president who represents Americanism in its highest sense. "In the program herein outlined the enemies of the Negro will raise the theory of Negro domination wherever he is numerically in the majority. This is all rot. It is the desire and purpose of the intelligent progressive Negro to maintain the most friendly relations with the white man and to cooperate with him in all matters touching the public welfare. "All they ask for is justice and fairness in all public matters, and if a little Christian charity can be mixed with it so much the better. We will fight for absolute equality under the law—no separate schools nor separate cars—no segregation, either voluntary or imposed. We demand the right to work out our destiny as free American citizens without being shackled by the chains of race prejudice, and any man who would deny these things to us is not worthy of being an American citizen." To Discuss Negro Posts Twelve Southern State Chairmen to Meet Here Oct. 1. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 1.—State chairman and executive committee of the twelve Southern states of the American Legion organization will meet in Birmingham Oct. 1; to take up the question of Negro posts. It is probable that Col. Henry D. Lindsley, of Texas, will be in attendance. The St. Louis conference of the legion left the matter of Negro posts in the hands of the state organizations and it is possible that where Negro ex-service men are in sufficient number to establish a post separate charters will be granted.

Charles Cheetam is being held on suspicion of being an incendiary in connection. Miss Lula Johnson, 40 years old, a tenant of the hotel, died of suffocation and many others are suffering from slight burns.

(Special to the Whip.) New York, Sept. 28.—Christianization of the Jews in the United States, as part of a $1,000,000 "Americanization" program planned by the Episcopal board of missions, was advocated here today at a board conference. Suggestion by Bishop Rogers Israel, of the Erie, Pa., diocese, that any action along these lines should be deferred until after the Episcopal general conference at Detroit in October brought prompt answer from the Rev. John I. Zacker, superintendent of Jewish work for the diocese of Philadelphia, that if the Jew was left out of the program for only a short time it would be a failure. "The Jews control the world," said Mr. Zacker, "and if Christianity is to convert the Jews it must be attempted at once." Bishop Thomas J. Garland, of the Philadelphia diocese, declaring the question no longer could be held as a mere diocesan one, that it had become national, asserted that the Americanization of the Jews had become secondary to the Christianization of them. "Eighty per cent of the American Jews," he added, "have lost interest in their own religion and are rapidly becoming atheists." Mr. Zacker, who declared there are 15,000 Christian Jews in the country today, pleaded for establishment immediately of a community center for Hebrews in Philadelphia. He asserted that of every 1,200 Jews converted to Christianity, 900 conversions resulted from the work of such missions. Billiards THE UXE LORS ER, Proprietor AMUSEMENT NTLEMEN TABLES 8 CONNECTION (Special to Whip.) "How Can I Miss When I Have Dead Aim" John Fitzpatrick and Judge Gary An editorial in the Chicago Tribune of Tuesday, Sept. 23, represents one of the most flagrant attempts by capital, through its control of the press, to discredit John Fitzpatrick, the accredited representative of the steel mill workers and Wm. Z. Foster, whom they claim is a Sundicalist and that John Fitzpatrick and Foster are both radical. In attempting to show how liberal and humane this gigantic corporation has always been, they show that the pay rolls for common labor amounted to $125 and $140 a month and that semi-skilled labor averaged $6 a day and skilled labor up to $25 and $30 and in some special cases, $80 a day. What a striking contrast is shown in the quotation, with the net profits realized by this corporation that has coined the blood, misery and suffering of millions of workers in the past generations. It might be interesting to know whether or not the editor who produced this piece of partial comparison of the two men mentioned ever realized the full needs of humanity and if Mrs. Fannie Sellins' case was of any real interest to him and if the law that made murder a crime punishable by death, should not be applied to people connected with the steel corporation who were responsible for this brutal outrage, and that if revolutionary tendencies can find a place to grow and develop they should be produced by such cases as this. The steel barons themselves have a long time exploited the workers and if public sentiment is going to favor their contention of this outrage, I am sure that the workers themselves will not be seriously concerned. While these workers were toiling day in and day out to produce material with which to win the war, Judge Gary and his colleagues were counting their profits by the millions and now they are attempting to question their right to select a suitable representative to compete with these high handed outlaws regarding wages and working conditions. The principle of collective bargaining should not be denied any group of workers and if they are to be considered, they should at least reserve the right to say who their representative shall be.

Lack of labor in France is serious and is made worse by constant strikes for higher wages. Men work awhile and then take a holiday. The men feel that they are entitled to enjoy life a little now as they went through hell and death for four years. The profiteers are filling the cafes and these cafes are reaping a golden harvest from the rich. Heroes Are Waiters for Rich. Waiters wearing the Palm and Croix de Guerre, consider the occupation of serving the rich a poor reward for the life in mud, the dead bodies around, the stench of blood, fear and danger. Military glory has no meaning to them except in stern duty and the endurance of abominable things. England Gets Fat. The French people claim England got all of the harvest from the peace terms and the war. They say England is already rich and powerful and is continually enlarging her empire. The British soldiers, encamping near the French in the deserts of old battlefields are drawing bayonets frequently against one another and the German prisoners are used in the Porlus by the French to balance their numbers. be found in the negligence shown employees by employers whose only interest in any situation is profit, wealth and social distinction. Would appreciate an editorial from this same gifted writer on how to punish criminals and then let him advise the best way to bring men to justice that caused the murder of Mrs. Sellin. If he fails in this, that will be proof positive of his biased attitude toward the workers as a whole and at the same time discover the real background for his contentions in behalf of Judge Gary and his associates in crime. The so-called radical element of the labor movement represents the barometer through which the workers hope to be protected against industrial imperialism. vCan I ve Reasons W EY B.

The attention of the entire country at this time is centered on the great steel strike. The magnitude of the scope and the consequences of the outcome of this titanic industrial struggle merit much consideration from the public, hence I feel it to be the psychological moment to touch briefly upon this angle of the labor movement in this article. Whatever details may exist in the situation, however unfortunate may be many of the incidents, and despite the misleading reports that may be circulating, we must contend that the steel strike is one of a series of clashes that must need come between capital and labor. It is a test whether or not the democracy for which we have fought shell extend to the rank and file of American labor. I mean by the term "labor" those workers who with hand and brain make a contribution to civilization and add to the sum total of the world's happiness and comfort. It is a test whether or not, after the sacrifices of blood and limbs and life by the boys "over there" to overthrow autocracy, one, Judge Gary, surrounded by "Knights of the Round Table," shall hold in high contempt and haughty disdain any rights that the men who have created capital may request to be respected. If so, then our so-called democracy is a farce and our great sacrifices to perpetuate its principles for the world are in vain. principles for the world are in vain. I beseed and admonish the colored worker to be on the alert in this crisis and subsequent labor struggles that are likely to ensue. A charge against a colored worker by some proponents of organized labor is either that he is a moral coward or is too stupid to voluntarily enter a fight for a principle even though his future welfare be at stake. It is said that he tries to assume a neutral attitude until the tide is turned one way or the other, and then attempts (as the bat in the fable) to ally himself with the side that seems to be the stronger.

He is accused of allowing himself to be used by capitalists in just such crises as the present steel strike as a strike-breaker, a means of breaking down and defeating standards of the working man, regardless of the merits of the questions involved or the principles in formation. Such accusations, whether true or false, have fostered a prevailing sentiment of hostility against the colored worker by his white brother laborer, who claims the foregoing as his reason for much of the wholesale discrimination against the colored worker when he makes application for membership in many trade union organizations. I wish to state here that the colored worker, in my opinion, has relied too much upon the advice of so-called race leaders who have presumed to represent him, but who in most instances have misrepresented him, and they have mapped out the policy that has led the colored worker into such disrepute. They dogmatically inform him that capital will always rule as at always has and that he must trust to the rich and poewrful to protect him. However un-American such teaching may be, I have heard it from ministers, politicians, lawyers, doctors, and, in fact, from all the so-called upper classes. By them the colored worker has been advised that they, the leaders (?) are constantly advocating his cause to the "better element," as they term the wealthy and influential of the populace. He has been encouraged to follow them (the race leaders (?) and somewhere in the not far distant future he is promised that some unprecedented and unparalleled prosperity which they (the leaders (?), farsighted, have already seen and which he (the worker) will soon see, will ere long make "every tear a memory." He has been caused to follow, trust and cherish the race leaders and the "Republican party" to bring him into his own, an equal opportunity and fair treatment under the laws of our government. He (the colored worker) has complied with every request. He has followed Old Glory through many trying scenes, has worshiped the race leaders and sacrificed the exercise of common sense oftimes to vote the straight Republican ticket, but still he is the most abused, least paid, and least respected of all mankind in this very country where he has given his all. He is, through his leaders (?) clamoring for equality with others who inhabit this republic. Let us in clos- Colored Maid Arrested by Psychoanalytical Detective Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 30.—Nora L. Jones, a maid employed at the Cooper home, was arrested in connection with the murder of Robin Cooper, a prominent white lawyer in the city. The warrant was sworn out by Gabriel Hansen, a "psychcoanalytical" detective from Memphis. The Cooper murder remains a mystery and a sensation. No tangible evidence exists against Miss Jones and she will be released soon. Emerson says, "Life is a struggle for power." Then the man who by struggling has gained the more power is evidently the man who has lived the better life. If then equality is that which the colored worker is seeking, he should not forget an opportunity to force his way into the thickest of the fight where a democratic principle is involved. Let the American and foreign-born white man, rich and poor, employer and employee, realize that the colored worker is as ready to fight an economic battle on the side of right, is as willing to suffer the consequences of a defeat and is as vigilant in guarding the points gained by his sacrifices, and I opine that more of the race prejudice, race discrimination and race antagonism will displace if for forty more years the race leaders continued to plead the workers' cause and induce him to allow himself to be used in crises to break down working standards and be rewarded by having less of that which he produces than any other group as a class, being the first to form a bread line. "Open your doors unqualifiedly to the colored workers if you would remove a serious menace that will shadow your future prosperity in this new era of perfect realization of former tnicplications." I say to the colored worker, "Enter the open door, and take up arms in your own defense. As you have so long and faithfully followed phantoms, come down to a common sense basis and adopt the same methods that others use who supercede and surpass you in the economic field. This will merit more respect from real Americans than if you broke every strike that was called." Finally, this above all: "To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou cans't not then be false to any man."—Shakespeare. DRUGS Reading Between the Lines of the Chicago Tribune and Herald- Examiner on the Steel Strike By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer. The supposed trip through the steel mills by representatives of newspaper interests controlled directly by capital disclosed the fact that the steel company has provided sleeping quarters for about eight colored men who are christened "Sam." When questioned regarding the situation, they are alleged to have told the reporter that they were sleeping behind a blast furnace. These are a few of the men who have not yet discovered how useful they can be to capital in trying to destroy conditions for people who labor. This type of "Tem" and "Sam" is rapidly disappearing among the colored citizens of the United States. John Fitzpatrick, W. Z. Foster and other members of the national committee, have the benefit of some terrible experiences in trying to hold meetings in some of the steel cities during the organization campaign and there was not a single line in the big newspapers protesting against this denial of public assembly and free speech on behalf of the workers. Now the papers are trying their best to discredit the men in charge of the strike after a referendum vote of all workers involved in this controversy had decided what they desired to do. No man has a right to arbitrarily pass on a condition in which the workers are directly affected. What bearing can the Senate inquiry have on this situation when perhaps two-thirds of their number are already biased and opposed to workers' securing sufficient compensation as many of them are the accredited representatives, either directly or indirectly, of organized capital? The reactionaries are taking a lot of pains at this time to express their disapproval of Foster, Fitzpatrick and others of the national committee which is true to the old adage, "Let somebody start something good and we will gum it up."

The Price of Democracy one hundred ninety-seven billion dollars in cash, eleven million men killed outright, twenty-five million maimed, crippled and mutilated, which represent a national deficit that will continue to be a burden to the working people for three generations to come without including the destruction of property, which all represents the handwork of constructive labor. Since we have paid such an enormous price in lives for democracy, why should the steel magnates at this time recruit an army to add additional burdens to the workers who served them so faithfully during the time they were realizing more than a million dollars a day on steel profits while we were content with being patriotic and helping to finance the Liberty loans from our meager earnings, hoping that the dawn of a new day would make conditions better for all toilers of the human race?

Church 4644 Dearborn street, Rev. J.A. Win- ters, Pastor. Sunday was perhaps one of the grandest and busiest days in the his. tory of our church, From the early morning prayer mecting through the evening service large numbers of peo- ple thronged here to worship. Dr. T. H, Copeland, general secretary of the Ministers’ Widows’ and Orhpans’ Fund, was present at 11 o'clock, at which time he preached an able and eloquent message to a packed house. The choir was at its best and Mrs. Willie Thomas’ rendition of “The Chief Corner Stone” was very effec- tive. At % o'clock the great Pro- gressive Choral society, whieh is under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, turned out 100 strong, and every num- ‘ber they sang so thrilled and enrap- tured the vast audience that many were made to weep and the very at- mosphere was permeated with ap- plause. Dr, B. J. Prince, D. D., Ph. D., pastor of Provident Baptist church, was presented and delivered a great sermon. Among other distinguished ‘ministers were the Rev, Drs, J. W. Robinson, C. H.

Facts About Country. in’ Liberia, whose president-elect is touring the United States, is the sub- ject of the following bulletin from the National Geographical Society, Wash: ington: “The African Republic, America's only colony, has an era equivalent tc that of Kentucky. But of the 2,000,00( or more inhabitants only about 50,001 of American origin may be con- sidered civilized and take a part in the government. “Liberia is situated on the west ocast of Africa at the point where the coast line makes the great bend t form the Gulf of Guinea, Its position puts it directly on line of ocean com. munication between Europe and South Africa and points reached by way of Cape Good Hope. “Its southern boundary is its Atlan- tic coast line of some 350 miles, On the west is the British colony of Sierra Leona where futile attempts at coloni- zation were made before Liberia was reached and on the east and north are French possessions of the Ivory coasi and Niger Basin regions. “There are quaint customs among the natives, many of them bearing a similarity to civilized practices, such as the Mandingo methods of courting by presents, which, if accepted, signify a tacit consent to further attentions and the wearing of mourning bands, not upon the sleeve, for the native garb is often exceedingly scant, but around the fingers or about the head.

There ave no pygmies in Liberia and some tribes such as the Mandingoes are fine phys- ical specimens, with a pronounced Hu- ropean cast of features. “For some forty or fifty miles back of its coast Liberia has been cleared and developed, but from that imag- inary line inland there are dense for- ests and primitive people. Sir Henry Johnston encountered beasts, birds and reptiles living today which, he wrote, ‘are found fossil in Miocene formations of France and southern Germany, “Thus there is the contrast of one of the unique experiments in political annals, Stevenson referred to Liberia as a footnote to history, set amid the least known region of the erstwhile ‘dark continent.’ “Planned as a reparation for the seizure of its natives as slaves and an ‘experiment in transplanting a far flung race once more in their native soil, the beginnings of Liberia had GEO.

Mean- time, George Washington having set the example, many slave owners made provision in their wills for freeing their human property. “Thus it came about that the freed- man’s problem antedated the civil war by a half century, and Henry Clay presided over a meeting in Washing- ton in 1816 to form a colonization society. Bushrod Washington was the first president of that society for- mally organized on New Year's day in 1817, and after several expeditions had met with misadventure through epidemics and opposition of natives the Rev. Jehudi Ashmum in 1821 founded Liberia. “The country’s name, signifying cana of the Free,” and that of the principal city, Monrovia, in honor of the then president of the United States, are variously attributed to the Rey. Ralph R. Gurley, Ashmun’s friend and biographer, who drafted the first Liberian constitution, and to Robert G. Harper of Baltimore, a patron of the colonization movement. “Within a decade of Ashmun’s ar- rival the American population had risen to nearly 1,500, a daily news- paper had been started aand a code of laws was in practical operation. Originally the Portuguese and the Dutch had sought gold, pepper and slaves from Liberia, Today, as then, it has vast undeveloped resources, both mineral and agricultural. But before the war it exported goodly quantities of rubber, palm oil, fibre, cocoa, coffee, ivory and spices. “Liberia is asserted to have one of the hottest climates in the world, and few areas have more rain, The yearly fall amounts to nearly thirteen fect of water. The colonists declared Li- beria an independent republic in 1847, and it was recognized within a few years by nearly all countries except the United States. Previously there had been a split and Maryland, now the southern county of the republic, was a rival state to Liberia, It had its conception from a second coloniza- tion society from the state of Mary- land, in the United States. “Ten years ago President Rosevelt sent a commission to Liebria to in- vestigate conditions. That, commis- ‘sion's report resulted in negotiations ‘for an adjustment of Liberia’s debt and placing United States officials in charge of Liberian customs collections. The following year the American gov- ernment, acting in agreement with England, France and Germany, as- sumed supervision of the finances, military organizations and boundary questions. German merchants offend- ‘ed the chief executive of the republic in 1912 and out of this incident a ‘quarrel developed which resulted in two German gunboats foreing an apol- ogy from the president, But the pres- ident retaliated by giving English trade special privileges, and in the world war Liberia cast her lot with the allied nations, The government of the republic is modeled after that of the United States.” Senate Holds Up Riot Investigation; Borah Is Peeved Washington, Oct. 1.—Congressional investigation of recent race riots over the country proposed in a resolution by Senator Curtis (Rep.), Kansas, was considered today by the senate judiciary committee, but action was deferred. Acting Secretary of Labor Post wrote the committee indorsing the resolution, but opposition in the com- mittee developed and the resolution went over for a week. Opponents said they believed race clashes were matters for the state to deal with and doubted whether con- gressional investigation would be helpful. Senator Curtis filed with the com- mittee a statement from the National Association for Advancement of Col- ored People, declaring that 43 negroes and four white men had been lynched and eight negroes burned to death this year, up to September 14, and that Champaign Ill.

They left at 11:33 for Chi- cago where they will spend their hon- eymoon and return to their friends about Oct. 1, 1919. Rev. R. H, Hackley, B.

A good crowd was out to hear him, He preached from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. ‘The doctor preached a splendid sermon, it was full of thought and inspiration.

Declares States Fail in Duty. “The states have proved themselves unable or unwilling to stop lynching,’ the statement declared. “Even at- tempts to prosecute are so rare as to be exceptional. “Lynching and mob violence have become to be a national problem. The extension of lynching to northern states with white men as victim: shows it is idle to suppose mob mur- der can be confined to one section of the country or one race. “Disregard of the law will eney. itably lead to more frequent clashes and bloody encounters between white and negroes and a condition of poten: tial race war in many cities.” Borah Deplores Lawlessness, Addressing the senate today in op. position to the league of nations, which he said would cause entangle. ment of this country in European pol. ities, Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, declared America’s fundamen tal principles and institutions were being attacked, both from the top anc bottom of society. ~ Deploring lawlessness as evidence’ ‘in lynchings, bomb outrages and sedi tious propaganda, Senator Borah de ‘clared that persons in responsible po sitions also were agitating doctrine: which he regarded as inimical té American institutions. Senator Borah called attention t¢ an alleged statement by Judge E.

M. E. Zion church last Monday evening. Despite inclement weather a large audience was present to join in the celebration, The principal addres sof the occa- sion was to have been delivered by Senator Medill McCormick of Mlinois, |but the illness of his wife taking him ‘to Chicago prevented his participa ‘tion, For him Senator Sherman, his colleague, spoke, Senator Sherman opened his ad- dress with the argument that law does not always make equality, and cited |in proof of that statement inheritance laws which make for a condition just |the opposite. Out of this argument came the inference that, more than laws, industry, the capacity to earn and to save, counted in the acquire- ment of material possessions. The | Senator presented statistics proving a ‘remarkable progress in material ae- quirements of the Negro since his emancipation. Among the figures |presented were those showing the |number of homes acquired, the value ‘of personal property and that of the Negro church and educational insti- tutions. He also cited that of those persons in the United States engaged ‘in gainful occupations 40 per cent ‘were white and 53 per cent were col- ored. Among the general statements made by the senator was that in which he said: “There is very little concen- trated lawlessness among the colored people. The percentage among them is no greater than among any other group of people in the United States.” And he said: “I am interested to see that there be no special privileges,” and, “An injury to you is an injury to me. It is an example which is used in other instances.” The senator de- nounced socialism, and stated that he knew of very few Negroes who had identified themselves with that move- ment. (Continued om Page 12.) Colored Men's Department of International Y. M. C. A. Goes to N. Y. Headquarters 10 Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.—Oct. 1 is "moving day" for the Washington office of the colored men's department of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, which has been maintained for a number of years in this natural center of the Negro's religious and social activities during the formative period of the great work of reaching the unreached youth of the race. Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary in charge of the colored men's department of the Y. M. C. A. makes announcement that the office here is to move at once to the general headquarters in the spacious building at 347 Madison ave., in the heart of New York City. A press representative visiting the Twelfth st. branch last week found the genial Dr. Moorland surrounded by a mountain of books, files and office miscellany, with an array of packing boxes, ready to fold up his tent for the larger field of operation that awaits him in the nation's metropolis. Ever ready to take the public into his confidence on matters relating to the plans and purposes of the Y. M. C. A., Dr. Moorland gave an illuminating survey of the work that has been carried on under his supervision and the reasons which have made a change of base necessary at this time. He said in part: Concentration of System in New York Long Step Forward. "The growth of the Y. M. C. A. work among colored men in the past few years has been marvelous. The experimental period has been passed with results that are both gratifying and inspiring. Now we must throw aside our swaddling clothes and put on the whole garment of preparedness for the expansion that is to come. The shifting of this office to New York is the logical outcome of the increasing importance of this work among colored youth, and the recognition thus accorded our people by the international authorities is a long step forward—blazing the way toward unlimited possibilities for the future. Washington has admirably served its purpose, and now that the foundation has been laid, firm and deep, the cause is ready to take on world-wide proportions. The remarkable enlargement of the work, it is found, requires frequent consultation between heads of departments, and this necessity for a closer point of contact with all the forces that must enter into the system has led to the concentration of our labors at the general headquarters in New York City. In thus weaving into its main fabric the whilom Negro annex there is no question in my mind that the Y. M. C. A. has taken an advanced step as a great Christian organization." It is understood that the change described refers only to the Washington office and will not affect the status of the Atlanta office, which will be maintained intact under the direction of Secretaries John B. Watson and R. T. Weatherby. Dr. Moorland will have associated with him in the New York office International Secretaries C. H. Tobias, R. P. Hamlin, H. K. Craft and Robert B. DeFrantz (the latter in war work), together with an adequate staff of stenographers, clerks and assistants, the roster to be added to as circumstances may require. In the western and southwestern field, with location of office yet undetermined, will be Secretary William C. Craver and others to be named later. Comprehensive Study of Moral Needs of Young Colored Men in View. It is planned to make a comprehensive study of the moral needs of the men of the race, far and near, and to synchronize the Y. M. C. A. standards and ideals in co-operation with the community service of every locality, covering old fields and making new ones, to fit into the reconstruction demands of the times. Regional offices, with colored secretaries in charge, will be established at strategic points in various areas. Recruiting secretaries, who have been doing such effective work at home and overseas, together with the many consecrated men who have kept up the morale of the colored soldiers in the camps in the face of the most trying circumstances during the war period, will be utilized as far as possible in stimulating this extension policy for the reconstruction era. Dr. Moorland took occasion here to commend in unstinted terms the unwavering loyalty of the many secretaries recruited through his office and cheerfully acknowledged his indebtedness to their constant and united support for the success achieved by his department in the war crisis. He proudly called attention to the fact that not one of them failed, under the severest tests, and has placed in his BROTHERHOOD SLEEPING CAR PORTERS PROTECTIVE UNION Office of Eastern Headquarters 2297 7th Avenue, New York City. E. W. Stokien, President PHONE MORNINGSIDE 6536 Every porter employed by Sleeping Car Companies is eligible for membership. For information call at office or write to general secretary, or any of the following officers: permanent records a letter from E. C. Carter, chief secretary A. E. F. Division Y. M. C. A., officially thanking Dr. Moorland and all of the splendid men and women the department for colored troops recruited and sent to France, and saying at the close of a whole-hearted tribute: "I cannot speak too highly of the distinguished service which they rendered." Two Race Representatives Placed on International Committee. A significant innovation emphasizing the liberal attitude of the Y. M. C. A. is the recent appointment of two leading colored men on the international committee at large—the first time the race has been honored with membership in this "inner council" of the organization. The men designated for this important service are Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, Alabama, and Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La. The selections are regarded as eminently satisfactory. Some Benefits the Y. M. C. A. is Bringing to the Negro People. Dr. Moorland made a round of the photographs of imposing structures which hung in massive frames upon his office walls and most interestingly pointed out some of the positive benefits that have come to the race through the uplifting influence exerted by the Y. M. C. A. centers that have been established throughout the land. He referred with pride to the twelve big buildings—each valued at from $100,000 to $200,000—that have been planted in the large cities for the reclamation of young colored men, who would otherwise have had no place for recreation in a proper moral environment. So popular has the "Y" become as a community center, several of the most pretentious structures in the large cities have been found to be too small to meet the demands on them within a year or so after their erection. As an indication of the cordial support that the well-to-do colored people are giving the movement, Dr. Moorland made note of the fact that the thrifty and public-spirited Negroes of St. Louis contributed $58,000 in actual cash toward their magnificent building, and one family—Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone—has given outright fully $10,000 since the Y. M. C. A. effort was inaugurated in the Mound City. This is simply typical of the generosity that is being manifested in many other quarters, added Dr. Moorland, and more immense structures are in prospect. Wherever colored men are found there should be a "Y." That the spirit of militant Christianity is keenly alive and ready for the job that awaits was most happily exhibited at the recent session of the Y. M. C. A. held at Storer college, Harper's Ferry, W. Va., when more than 100 enthusiastic young men, representing progressive communities from New York to Texas and from Florida to Iowa, came together for the single purpose of preparing to render the largest measure of unselfish service to their fellows. With the dynamo in perfect working order at New York, the machinery will move forward with a new vitality and multiplied efficiency. Dr. Moorland "A Builder of Men." Dr. J. E. Moorland, to whose powerful personality and practical organizing ability the colored men's department owes its present high estate B. W. MERRIWEATHER, General Secretary BROTHERHOOD SLEEPING CAR PORTERS PROTECTIVE UNION and its roseate outlook, is a native of Ohio. He knows humanity and its needs as Edison knows electricity and its possibilities. He possesses the genius of getting things done—of bringing things to pass. Although just in his prime, he has given twenty-seven years to the business of "building men," and has rounded out twenty-one years as an international Y. M. C. A. secretary. He started in this city in his own home, with no fixed office and without a stenographer or other helpers. His academic education was acquired at Ada, Ohio, and later he finished a course in theology at Howard university. He has had but a few years of experience in the pastorate, nearly all of his life having been devoted earnestly to the redemption and moral uplift of men—a work in which he stands in a class alone, as shown by results which the whole world may note as it runs. Dr. Moorland regards the situation today as more encouraging than at any previous period, and says it will soon be found that the Negro department of the Y. M. C. A. universal is "just beginning to function at its rightful voltage of power." Youths Given 10 Years for Shooting a Groceryman Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1.—Willie Collins, 17; Governor Hall, 15, and Luther Hall, 14, Negroes, yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of murdering Nathan Shapiro and were sentenced by District Judge Redick to ten years each in the state penitentiary. The charge was murder in the second degree. They are the youngest boys ever sentenced by the Douglas county district court on the charge of murder. Special provision will be made at the state penitentiary for the two boys who are under 16 years old. The three boys on the night of August 27, returning from a moving picture show, entered the grocery store of Nathan Shapiro, Twenty-sixth and Hamilton streets, and, after an alter-cation, shot him to death. When they were arrested they all denied their guilt. Later they confessed, but the Hall boys laid the actual shooting to Collins. Collins said he and the Hall boys followed a man near Twenty-eighth and Hamilton streets with the intention of "sticking him up," but that, just as they were ready to do this he turned into his home. Then they passed the Shapiro store where Mr. Shapiro was still at work. One of the Hall boys suggested to "get that fellow," Collins said in his statement following his arrest. The three boys entered the store. Two of them had revolvers. When they tried to hold up Mr. Shapiro he resisted. A struggle ensued which continued out into the street, where he was shot to death. The youths had little to say to Judge Redick. Governor Hall merely remarked that "two of us done the shooting." To Select Own Songs Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 1—Songs which are selected from requests by the audience will make the community sing to be held Sunday by the Negroes a novel and out of the ordinary event. The songs held under the auspices of the colored section, War Camp Community Service, are attracting large crowds and the crowds have joined heartily in the spirit and purpose of the exercises. The W. C. C. S. special male quartet will render several numbers, and Lemuel L. Foster, song leader, will sing a trench song as a solo. THE CHICAGO WHIP National Race Congress Bringing Negro's Case Into Court Plans Perfected for Great Conference of Colored Americans in Washington Next Week—Workable Program for Race Protection to Be Adopted—Additional Features. (Thompson's National News Bureau) (Special to The Whip.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 2.—The "advance guard" of the delegates from all over the country to attend the fourth annual (or "Suffrage Session") of the National Race Congress of America, is already beginning to put in its appearance. Final wires from active agents in the field bring most encouraging messages, and the success of the great conference of Negro race builders is fully assured. It is evident that every state in the Union, where there is an appreciable colored population, will be represented, and by men and women who stand for the best thought, and most responsible activities of the race. With sanity and a clear vision for the practical, these constructive forces can be depended upon to adopt a strong and workable program for the protection of the 12,000,000 colored Americans for whom they are commissioned to speak. Sessions of Congress at Metropolitan Baptist Church. President W. H. Jernigan makes announcement that there will be held three sessions daily at the spacious Metropolitan Baptist church, R st. near Twelfth, opening on the morning of Oct. 7 and continuing through the 11th. He directs particular attention, however, to the annual sermon, to be delivered on Monday evening, Oct. 6, by Rev E. A. B. Cheek of Newark, N. J., national chaplain of the congress, and it is urged that all delegates so arrange their coming as to be in the city at that time to hear this inspirational keynote and appeal for Divine guidance. Rev M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, has planned every convenience for the comfort of the delegates, and arrivals should place themselves at once in touch with the national headquarters of the congress, Third and Eye sts., northwest, or with Dr. Norman and his reception committee at his church. Washington, proverbially hospitable, is extending its warmest welcome to all. Additional Features of the Race Congress Program. In addition to the splendid array of speakers and many outstanding features of the Race Congress already announced, it is expected that addresses will be presented by United States Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, United States Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, Representative J. C. Dyer of Missouri, Attorney William H. Harrison of Chicago, and Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington's Municipal court. Addresses of welcome will be delivered by the Hon. Louis Brownlow, president of the Board of District Commissioners, and Rev. M. W. D. Norman, with responses by Rev.

Phalanx Club to Purchase Office Building The Phalanx club of this city is in the market for a first class office building. If they are unable to find one that comes up to the standard, it is rumored that they will buy a vacant lot in the vicinity of State and W. H. Stokes of Richmond, Va., and others. Besides informing reports from Dr W. H. Jernigan on his journey to France and the international aspect of the race problem, and from the various commissions on education, labor and economics, transportation reforms, political conditions, business outlook and the emergency defense fund, a statement will be made touching the conference of the industrial committee of the congress with Judge E. H. Gary, official head of the United States Steel corporation, bearing upon the disturbed labor situation and the future of the Negro as an industrial factor in the North. The congress through Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Prof John R. Hawkins and Rev. W. C. Brown, has led in the effort to have a colored man named on the industrial commission, which is about to confer with President Wilson on the vital economic problems of the hour, and it is expected that a member of this commission will address the congress. An opportunity will be given to hear from representatives of the Negros press, which has stood so loyally by the race at every turn and contributed so generously to the success of every movement designed to promote its morale. Captain Edward L. Snyder of Philadelphia, who rendered efficient service overseas with a fighting regiment of the A. E. F., will present photographs of great historical value through an illustrated lecture on "The Accomplishments of the Negro Soldier Abroad," and as a tribute to the congress will give six lines on the screen, from President Jernigan's advice to his people at the Newark session of the National Baptist convention. The Washington churches, fraternities and civic organizations are taking a lively interest in the Congress and will turn out en masse. An "open door" is offered to all who believe in a 100 per cent American citizenship for the Negro and that the ballot is the basic guarantee of its fullest enjoyment. COME TO THE H. & H. G.

HARDEN General Manager White Man Robbed By Two Men and A Woman Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1.—Samuel Circo, 1412 South Fourth street, reported to the police that while he was walking near Third and William streets at midnight he was stopped by two men and a woman, both colored. He related that the men held revolvers over him while the woman searched his pockets and took $8. Woman Dies as Result of Being Thrown from Bed Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 1.—Three weeks ago a heavy auto truck loaded with gravel became unmanageable when its steering gear broke and struck broadside a small house occupied by a Negro family. Meanda Adams, one of the occupants, was in bed recovering from a surgical operation. The jolt threw her out of bed to the floor and she was so badly injured that she died at noon yesterday.

Considine, former nationally known theatrical magnate, has announced that he will soon re-enter the theatrical business on a large scale. He is now negotiating for certain theatrical properties with which, if he is successful in purchasing them, he intends to form a new circuit starting in Montana and running down the coast. Mr. Considine was formerly a partner of "Big Tim" Sullivan in the Sullivan & Considine circuit of theatres, but has not been actively engaged in the theatrical business since 1916, when the Sullivan & Considine circuit was sold. London, Sept. 27.—(By Associated Press.)—Adelina Patti, the prima dona, died this morning at Craig-y-Nos castle, Penycae, South Wales. Adelina Patti, who sang to perfection before she could speak articulately, was on the operatic and concert stage for more than half a century. No singer, perhaps, ever attained a higher degree of success than she. When in her prime she was known the world over as the "divine Patti." Patti was born of Italian parents at Madrid on Feb. 19, 1843. Her father Salvatore Patti, a native of Catania in Sicily, was of noble extraction, and a musician of considerable eminence; her mother was the daughter of a celebrated Roman teacher of singing—Signor Chiesa—and early in life took a high position on the operatic stage under the professional name of Barili Of the children of the Patti-Barili marriage, all of whom vere remarkable musically, Adelina was the youngest. When she was still an infant in arms her parents migrated from Europe to America, and it was in New York that Adelina's musical talent developed its self precociously. Before completing her fifth year she revealed a remarkable aptitude for overcoming the technical difficulties with which the prevailing school of florid vocalization was overladen. tA the age of 7 (1850) she sang for the first time in public. When Adelina's childish triumphs A young woman is seduced and is about to become a mother, when her relative, whose husband longs for children, suggests that the child about to be born be foisted upon him, saving the young woman from disgrace. The fraud is consummated and in due timed discovered. The husband denounces the selfishness and deception of his wife, who not only refused to bear him any children, but resorted to fraud. The wife is repentant and the husband forgives. The real mother proclaims the truth when her infant dies and repudiates the man who had betrayed her. She accepts the advances of an old lover whose ardor had not been cooled off by her adventures. The Third Kiss A wealthy young woman, disguised as a factory girl, does philanthropic work, and is thrown into frequent contact with a married philanthropist, who neglects his wife. Gossip follows to avoid which a rich friend of the philanthropist marries the girl, whose reputation had begun to suffer. At first he does not love her, but love develops in due course of time, while the philanthropist sensibly returns to his wife. His Bridal Night Twin sisters, Tiny and Vi, have only this distinction between them—Tiny sucks her thumb and Vi has a mole on her left ankle—otherwise they are an exact replica of each other. Vi is naughty and flirtatious. Tiny tries to cure her sister's flighty attempts to elope with a desirable young man whom Tiny prefers for herself, but Vi can't make here eyes behave even when marching to the altar to marry. The result is disastrous, for the man follows the bride to her room and a scandal is only averted by the watchful Tiny, who takes her sister's place by running off with the groom, who believes his Vi is at his side. When Vi discovers the trick of the jealous girl she follows the couple to the honeymon bungalow at Briarcliff, and then things begin to happen. Tiny's choice also shows up as well as the aunt, who finally straightens out the tangle, and the bride promising to behave ever after, is given into the arms of the groom, while Tiny is chosen by the man she has selected. Film Company to Make Pictures of the Bible Los Angeles, Sept. 18.—According to what appears to be an authentic source a film producing company recently organized here proposes to film the Bible from cover to cover.

Her first singing master was Ettore Barili, her mother's half-brother, who was succeeded by Maurice Strakosch. At the age of fifteen and a half, Adelina Patti made her public appearance in New York, this time on the operatic stage, in the role of Lucia (Nov. 14, 1859), and achieved a tremendous success. During the ensuing eighteen months she sang the heroines of the more popular operas of Bellini and Donizetti, and carried all before her in the American metropolis. It was not until the spring of 1861 that a fairly remunerative engagement, offered to her by Frederick Gye, then lessee of the Royal Italian Opera in London, tempted her to cross the Atlantic, and to bid for the favor of a public at that time notoriously the most difficult to please in Europe. When, on May 14, 1861, she made her first appearance, as Amina, in "Somnambula," on the huge Covent Garden stage—a slender, sallow, darkeyed girl, displaying a slight childish stiffness of gait and formality of manner—only a favored few personal friends of Gye, to whom he had confided his own impressions of "the little American girl's" vocal capacities, had the faintest idea of the revelation Smart Sayings of Film Stars Smart Sayings of Film Stars The photoplayers are finding the mental exercise of coining epigrams stimulating, and here are a few of the recent sayings from feminine lips: Mary Pickford: Discontent breeds trouble. Trouble breeds broken noses and black eyes. So watch your step. Peggy Hyland: Life is serious; life is earnest, but we don't have to cry over it. Kathleen O'Connor: There are three kinds of marrying men—those who marry for money, the sort who lead a girl to the altar because so many fellows are trying to do the same thing, and those who feel it's dignifying to be "my dear'd" at breakfast. Ethel Teare: If you keep your nose to the grindstone all your life your face will begin to show it. An Extra: A picture a day keeps the landlady at bay. Mildred Reardon: Men, like monkeys, are always up to some trick or other which women have to be continually guarding against. Eileen Percy: If woman is at the mercy of man before marriage, certainly marriage is at the mercy of both of them afterward. Madlaine Traverse: This would be a very harsh world with men only, and it would be a very soft one with women only. Doris Pawn (a new verse for an old song:) Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; you never met a "he-vamp" that you could trust. Viola Dana: Laugh and the world laughs with you, but don't try to on your director when he wants you to emote. noxious social doctrines, and for missionary work among peoples of all tongues. The conception of the best painters of Biblical subjects will be followed in the staging and an archaeologist of note will be a member of the producing staff. A replica of the ancient holy city of Jerusalem is soon to be built on a southern California hill. The Tower of Babel, Noah's Ark, Solomon's Temple, the royal Bobylonian halls of Belshazzar—all are to be reproduced according to the best conceptions of artists in the light of archaeological research. The project is attracting much attention in the press. that awaited them. The mellow, velvety tones of Amina's opening recitative thrilled the house with pleasurable sensation, and a few minutes later Adelina's inimitable delivery "Come per me sereno," elicited a prolonged outburst of applause that was strangely out of keeping with the traditional reserve of a fashionable audience in London. From that moment Adelina Patti's reputation was firmly established in England. For over twenty years Mme. Patti sang at Covent Garden, and filled it to overflowing whenever she appeared. Her annual earnings between 1861 and 1881 averaged $150,000 to $175,000 and rose still higher during each of the years in which she made professional tours in North and South America. Her share of the profits resulting from her visit to Argentina in 1888 for instance, amounted to $250,000. After her retirement from the stage Mme. Patti made her home at Craigy-Nos in Wales. The famous singer was three times married. Her first husband was the Marquis de Caux and her second Signor Nicolini. In 1899 she married Baron Cederstrom, a Swede of high family, with whom she lived a happy married life in striking contrast to her two first matrimonial alliances. In 1895 Mme. Patti returned to the stage of Covent Garden, as a special favor to her old friend, Sir Augustus Harris. She sang with much success on six occasions, as Violetta and Rosina.

Too Much Suggestive Nudity in "Comedies" The success of the Mack Sennett comedies has unloosed a lot of cheap imitators, who lack the comic vision and the light touch of Sennett, and in their imitations do nothing but vulgarize. There is a vast difference between what we call naughty and what is just simply vulgar. The occasional flashes of graceful femininity in summer or bathing garb one sees in the Mack Sennett variety of fun are altogether different from the heavy, vulgar imitation. Fox and Vitagraph are among the worst imitators. The other day I saw a Vitagraph, called "Mates and Models," which is about the most nauseating affair that has soiled the screen in a long time. It is little more than an illustrated definition of obscenity and stupidity. It's the sort of thing that invites and eventually will bring about legalized censorship. M. Garvey Speaks to Large Crowd at the Armory; Afternoon and Evening Sessions Sunday, Sept. 28, Hon. Marcus Garvey of New York City, temporary president of the National Negro Improvement Association and editor of the Negro World, spoke to a large audience at the Eighth Regiment armory in the interest of the Black Star Steamship Line. To Buy Ship It is said that the object of the meeting was to teach the American Negro to think along international lines. Also, to purchase a steamship which is to cost over $100,000. The Chicago Defender did not escape the scathing tongue-lashing of Mr. Garvey. The "World's Greatest Weekly" is under suit at the instance of the Black Star Line and is also being sued personally by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey laid stress on international Negro solidarity and said that 400,000,000 black men can hold the world at bay with intelligent leadership and organization. Chance to Learn Trade An opportunity is offered for colored men and women to place their services in greater demand at increased pay and under more agreeable working conditions. The Chicago Urban League, 3032 S. Wabash ave., has been asked by the Wendell Phillips High school to arrange for complete and intensive evening courses of study in shoemaking, tailoring, auto repairing, chauffeuring, cooking and sewing. These courses are arranged so as to convenience persons working during the day. The aim is to fit Negroes who have had no opportunity for developing skill in any special line for positions of greater responsibility and pay. This institution makes its definite purpose the opening up of wider opportunities for colored men and women in the city. After years of this effort gains have been made. It is important that colored persons be properly prepared to enter these lines when demands are made for them. Common laborers, industrial misfits, persons with limited opportunities for advancement in spite of their ambitions, will find in this a chance to gain an entrance to desired fields through increased efficiency in a special art or craft.

WE HAVE SEEN BY OUR CONTEMPORARY, "THE DEFENDER," THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS OR SOME OF THEM ARE TO BE COMPARED TO A "BULL IN A CHINA CLOSET." The Defender states, "There is no excuse for dense ignorance in this enlightened age; THAT THOUSANDS HAVE MIGRATED FROM THE SOUTH WHOSE HABITS WERE LITTLE BETTER THAN HOTTENTOTS. That the offensive methods of the Newcomer will not be tolerated in the North." The Defender further states that Negroes are straining themselves to live on the boulevards. WE ARE REGREFUL that our colleague in the newspaper world is so absolutely devoid of judgment and diplomacy. "After all there is something in the eternal fitness of things." If the condition obtains that The Defender claims, and we say it does not, NO COLORED NEWSPAPER THAT HAS THE INTRINSIC INTEREST OF THE RACE AT HEART SHOULD EDITORIALIZE ON THIS SUBJECT AT THIS PRESENT TIME. NEGROES IN CHICAGO HAVE THE HOUSING PROBLEM. The whole race has been placarded as "undesirables." The white organizations of Hyde Park and Kenwood have used every method to segregate them. The whole race is thrown under constant and scrutinizing surveillance by the white man. THE DEFENDER IS PREACHING THE SAME INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA THAT VARDAMAN, BLEASE AND BILBO PREACHES. THE NEGRO IS IGNORANT AND UNFIT. IT IS A DECIDED VIRTUE TO HIDE OUR WEAKNESSES AND FALLIBILITIES FROM OUR ENEMIES. THE "WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY" HAS TOO LARGE A WHITE FOLLOWING TO SHOW UP THE RACE AS THEY ARE DOING. THE PROPER THING TO HAVE DONE WAS TO HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS TO THE OFFENDERS OR APPOINT A COMMITTEE TO VISIT THEM AND REASON WITH THE "SO-CALLED HOTTENTOTS." We can not imagine what the motive of the Chicago Defender was. IT CAN NOT BE THAT THEY HAVE "ENTANGLING" ALLIANCES WITH THE SOUTHERN PROPAGANDISTS. IT CAN NOT BE THAT THEY HAVE JOINED HANDS WITH THE SEGREGATING AGENCIES. IT CAN NOT BE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN BOUGHT OUT. IT MUST BE DUE TO THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE. THE LACK OF INTROSPECTION. THE INABILITY TO WEIGH INTERESTS AND BALANCE CONVENIENCES. There is not an imbecile in Dunning who would dare say that there is not excuses galore for ignorance among Negroes North or South. The white man is 90 per cent the blame for it, too, in the Southern states. Five dollars per capita is spent for the education of white children and only $1 for the colored in practically all of the rural districts. The average colored teacher is not the equivalent of a first rate 7th grade student, not because there are not plenty of well educated colored teachers, but because the white commissioners will not pay for nor stand for first class tutalage for "niggers," the crop lien system which is nothing short of highway robbery, and the commissary credit system which compels the average Negro farmer to buy commodities at any price, keeps him so far in debt that he is unable to send his children to first class boarding schools. In the North, labor unions have kept the Negro out of profitable employment. Public officials have tolerated all kinds of deteriorating vice among Negroes for the sake of a vote. THEY HAVE MADE COLORED NEIGHBORHOODS A DUMPING GROUND FOR THE MORAL DEGENERATES OF THE WHITE RACE. By refusing to employ well trained Negroes in capacities compatible with their education, they have discouraged education. It is a common thing to see a college graduate shining shoes or waiting table. It is a common thing to hear an uneducated colored youth say, "What's the use of getting an education, you never get a chance to use it?" In the light of these facts IT SHOULD NOT PUZZLE THE DEFENDER TO FIND EXCUSES FOR IGNORANCE AMONG COLORED PEOPLE, but when they see that in spite of these barriers hundreds are forging their fetters of ignorance into swords of intelligence, it is amazingly puzzling to ferret out the excuses for the growing intelligence of the race. The most of the Negroes from the South are intelligent. The most of them are decent and honest. None of them have horns. Seventy per cent of the business among us is owned and operated by Southerners. The churches are kept up by Southerners. We have more to learn from them than they have from us. IT IS A BASIC DISTORTION OF TRUTH THAT NEGROES ARE STRAINING THEMSELVES TO LIVE ON THE BOULEVARDS. THERE ARE FIFTY-SIX FAMILIES ON MICHIGAN AVENUE AND GRAND BOULEVARD. FORTYNINE OWN THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND AUTOMOBILES. THE DEFENDER HAS DONE MORE TO CAUSE NEGROES TO COME NORTH THAN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST TO DENOUNCE THEM AND THE CHICAGO WHIP THE CHICAGO WHIP VOL 1 OCT 1 1919 NO. 1 THE WHIP JR. THE WHIP MUST BE CLEARED!! ALL HANDS TO THE PUMP IS THIS THE DEMOCRACY F THE LAST TO INVENT A SOLUTION FOR THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED BY THEIR ADVENT. The Whip is puzzled to know how can the Defender tell a Southern "Hottentots" from a Northern one by merely observing him from a distance? In these days of turmoil, riots and lynching, when the only thing necessary for the precipitation of these is a black face, we will not tolerate any article, organ or individual that espouses any kind of propaganda that serves to estrange us or liquidize our solidarity. We are all colored Americans, fighting a common battle for justice, liberty and equality. There are no Northerners or Southerners, just oppressed men fighting for freedom. THE DEFENDER'S EDITORS SHOW LACK OF KNOWL- EDGE OF HOME ECONOMICS. THEY HAVE MADE THE RACE LIABLE FOR FURTHER DAMAGE. THEY HAVE INJURED THE HANDS THAT FEEDS THEM BREAD. THEY HAVE INSULTED THE INTELLIGENT MEMBERS OF OUR RACE. LEST THEY FORGET, HOTTENTOTS HELD THE HINDENBURG LINE AND DID NOT GIVE AN INCH TO THE WHITE HOODLUMS. TIME AND TRUTH BEFORE THE YEARS began their immutable flight between two eternities, before the foot of man had been placed on this terrestrial spheroid, before the earth had thrown off her outer crust which became the moon, before gravitation drew water into the deep hollows and purified the upper air. Before civilization began her onward march. TIME EXISTED, TIME ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING. Before time existed, before the seas of abysmal chaos seeped from pole to pole. Before God, the federal creator of all life, had charged matter and nature with the spermatozoa of force. TRUTH LIVED, TRUTH IMMUTABLE, TRUTH INFALLIBLE. Truth and Time, through the ages, through the years, through the seasons, through the incessant cycles and aeons of eternity, have remained the progenitors and destroyers of all the fallacies and foibles of natural phenomena. From the productive womb of time and virile sperm of Truth, the universe was evolved, systems born, worlds weaned and nations created. The earth, a minor planet, was thrown into this maelstrom of incipient creation and commanded to whirl on nothing. Man, the acme of civilization, has unraveled some of the mysteries of his mystifying and awe-inspiring parents. Man has shackled the agencies of Time and Truth. Man, with cannabalistic instincts has destroyed the original designs of nature. Man has grappled with intricate and preponderous elemental enigmas. Humanity has divided itself into separate races and tribal clans. All nature seems quietly but perceptibly evolved itself into new characters, but man is evolving himself and changing his backgrounds with tremendous emotion, violent expression, and indiscriminate bloodshed that overshadow the evolution of all natural forces. No volcanic eruptions, no geosynclimal or geoanticlimal movements of the earth can compare with the upheavals of the human nature. THE RISE AND THE FALL OF HUMAN NATURE IS UNPARALLED IN NATURAL PROGRESSION. Man seems to be whirling in the maelstrom of destiny; man seems to be confused with problems of life. MAN SEEMS TO THINK THAT DESTRUCTION IS A BASIC ELEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION. Man is not reckoning with Time and Truth. Truth never will allow lies, fallacies and errors to control the universe. Time will cut down all nations that build themselves on the shoals and quicksands of vainglory and self-idolatry. AMERICA IS INVEIGLED BY LIES, submerged by fallacies and entangled by errors. America is built up by the labor of the proletarian, controlled by the capitalists and hypnotized by the arch enemy of intra-national cohesion, the almighty dollar; America is money mad. America is built up on new fangled religious creeds and is raving under the auto-hypnosis of color prejudice. Truth and Time will not wheedle and coax America. Truth and Time will lash and beat the back of America until blood will flow on the altar of repentance. Time and Truth from ages immemorable in their journey to eternity have punished lies, lust and vainglory. The path of glory has always led to the grave. All the problems of life, all of the things that men fight for can be narrowed and resolved into three classes. PROBLEMS BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR, PROBLEMS ARISING FROM DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS CREEDS, PROBLEMS ARISING FROM ABSTRACT AND CONCRETE COLOR PREJUDICE. In America from the days of John C. Calhoun up to the present day, the wage-earner has been exploited. The Black Man was enslaved, and even now is a serf. The capitalists are seeking glory and wealth. The laborer is revolting. Socialism, bolshevism and syndalism, etc., are merely mutterings from the crushed and bleeding laborer, who has been ground to economic dust by the iron heel of capital. America is the arch, the devil of the capitalist. America was thrown into war because of American capitalists' loans. This problem, Time and Truth will crush out. Blood will be spilled, wars waged. TIME AND --- THE OMAHA MASSACRE THE OMAHA MASSACRE LIKE THE NOXIOUS germs of yellow fever or the Spanish influenza, the germ of unsophisticated anarchy and lawlessness has swepted practically every state in the Union. Attempted lynching of Mayor Smith of Omaha is only a reaction of the tolerance this government has had, blood thirsty mobs. It is not at all surprising. Human nature is the same under like conditions. If white men are allowed to burn, lynch, beat and discriminate against Negroes, or any other class of citizens in any part of the United States for the slightest provocation, without being apprehended and made to account for their primitive butchery, they will and they have developed a general disregard for organized society. THEY WILL, IN FITS OF PREJUDICIAL MANIAC FRENZY, COMMIT THE SAME ACTS AGAINST WHITE MEN. We do not know whether Will Brown was guilty of the crime of rape or not, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT ALL OF THE 20 NEGROES, WHO HAVE BEEN ACCUSED, ARE NOT GUILTY. We further know that no crime known to civilization justifies the acts of a cowardly mob, whether it is white or black. WE FURTHER KNOW THAT CRINGING, DEBASED AND DEGENERATED WHITE MEN HAVE KILLED MANY INNOCENT NEGROES AND TRIED TO HIDE BEHIND THE HEM OF A WHITE WOMAN'S SKIRTS, AND THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS HAVE ENCOURAGED, CONDONED, AND IN MANY INSTANCES, PROTECTED THESE CULPRITS AND ENEMIES OF HUMANITY. These men did not only challenge the right of a Negro to get a fair trial before a court of justice, when they stormed the jail, seized and lynched this defenseless Negro, but they challenged the potency and authority of the law itself. THE WHITE MAN IN AMERICA APPEARS TO BE DISSATISFIED WITH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. He seems to be dissatisfied with our present jury system. They anticipate the fact that judges and juries will consider evidence and law rather than Negro-phobia. They claim they are taking the law in their own hands because the protection of their womanhood demands it. They fail to realize that they are destroying law and order and are merely taking human life in their own hands. THE LYNCHOCRATS IN NEBRASKA ARE ULTRA-RADICAL. RADICAL TO THE EXTENT OF ANARCHISM. THE NEGRO MUST PROTECT AMERICA FROM ANARCHY. THE NEGRO MUST PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS FROM HELL ON EARTH. THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT MUST BE SAVED. THE NEGRO MUST BE PATRIOTIC AND FIGHT TO SAVE HIMSELF FROM ANARCHISTS. THE ANARCHISTS AND MOB MANIACS ARE UNFIT FOR SOCIETY. THEY CAN NOT BE REASONED WITH. There is no necessity, however, to reason with the dead. For they will do no further harm, neither will they tell further lies. THE NEGRO CAN NOT REASON WITH MOB MANIACS. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO STOP THEM AND THE NEGRO LEARNED HOW IN FRANCE. TRUTH EMPHASIZE EQUALITY OF INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY. In America the religious feuds exist today with hidden virility, just as truely as they did in the days of the crusades. Catholicism is even the hidden contention in the fight on the peace treaty and the League of Nations. The papacy and its agencies have adroitly succeeded in getting the balance of power in the league and thus the international religious quarrel must ensue. Christianity is beginning a campaign against the Jews and the signs of Time point to further turmoil. TIMP AND TRUTH WILL HOLD ITS OWN INQUISITION ON THESE RELIGIOUS SOUABBLES. THE LAST PROBLEM, THE GREATEST PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM OF COLOR PREJUDICE. THE WORLD IS BEING STAGED AS THE BACKGROUND FOR COLOR WARS. THE KAISER SAYS THE YELLOW PERIL (JAPAN), ENGLAND SAYS THE "RED PERIL" (INDIA), AMERICA SAYS THE BLACK PERIL (THE NEGRO). MURDER, LYNCHINGS, HUMAN BURNING FESTIVALS, RIOTS AND PANDEMONIUM. AMERICA IS REHEARSING THE FIRST ACT. THE NEGRO IS THE VICTIM. THE STENCH OF HIS BURNING FLESH IS FILLING THE NOSTRILS OF TIME AND TRUTH. TIME AND TRUTH WILL WORK OUT THE REMEDIES. AMERICA WILL SUFFER. AMERICA MUST PAY. TIME AND TRUTH ARE INFALLIBLE AND IMMUTABLE. AMERICA, PREPARE FOR THE ETERNAL VINDICATORS. Dear Sir: I have been in Chicago three months and I like it here. My boss kept me from coming here before. He told me that I could not get along up here. I am making as much in two days as I got down home in a week. I know one thing, I ain't going back. Samuel Tulliver, Editor's Mail Dear Sir: I have been reading your paper for the past few weeks and I must say that you have a snappy, truthful, classy sheet. I am sorry that you did not start sooner. The World's Best Editorials. A LESSON FROM A TRAGEDY A very sad and unfortunate death which came to my notice recently teaches such an important hygienic lesson that I will relate the incidents of it. It will illustrate how dangerous certain procedures are which have been handed down from generation to generation as having certain medical virtues. A young lady living on a farm pricked her finger on the fin of a fish which she had just caught in a small pond not very far from a barn. As those who have experienced it know such a wound is very painful, evidently because of some poisonous secretion present on the fins of some fishes. This lady scooped up some mud from a near-by puddle and spread it on the wound, because it is believed in certain parts of the country that a mud plaster has power to "draw" pain from a sore spot. One or two days later the finger became more painful and swollen. The mud plaster was replaced by a slice of salt bacon and a tight bandage. This is another superstition that salt bacon can "draw" out inflammation. Three days after this the lady was taken down with the characteristic symptoms of tetanus or lock jaw, and it was but a matter of a few days before she was dead, large amounts of anti-serum being unable to save her. The explanation of her death was as follows: The prick of a fish fin, like that of a nail or a needle, produces a deep shallow wound which has little tendency to bleed and closes up soon, sealing in any dirt which may have been introduced. Profuse bleeding is sometimes beneficial because it washes out any dirt which may be in the wound. The application of mud is one of the most dangerous things one can resort to, especially mud obtained near a stable, because it swarms with the germs of lockjaw. This young lady with her mud plaster not only stopped the bleeding, but inoculated lockjaw germs into the wound and produced the condition which is the best for them to grow in, namely, where no air can get to them and where there is injured flesh. Instead of calling a doctor when conditions got worse she temporized still further with other useless applications. It was no wonder she died so quickly, because every condition for the production of tetanus was as perfect as if they were wilfully produced. There are two important lessons at least to draw from this citation. The first is that every wound should be kept as free from dirt as possible. The second is that it should not be too tightly sealed from the circulation of air, but protected well enough to keep out extraneous dirt. It is a good rule to put on a drop of tincture of iodine immediately after the affliction of the wound. But this is very painful if the injury is very large, and therefore cannot be used with little children. In this case, wash the wound thoroughly with hydrogen-peroxide. The advantages are two-fold: It is antiseptic and the evolution of gas produces a mechanical cleansing. Another lesson is that a doctor should be called early. Do not trust your own judgment in the matter. 57TH ANNIVERSARY OF ISSUANCE OF EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION CELEBRATED (Continued from Page 9.) Preceding Senator Sherman was an address by Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke, a Spanish-American war veteran. He reviewed the stirring times that lead up to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. Then he spoke on the conditions as they existed today, and said: "The time has come when the Negroes, who gave 500,000 to make the 'world safe for democracy' should insist that America be made safe for them." Resolutions were presented and adopted petitioning congress to appoint a committee to study the race question, make investigations, and finally to make recommendations to congress to alleviate the conditions that now exist in the United States.
