MOB RUNS WILD IN GEORGIA WRITE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES AT ONCE! For News That Is Reliable, Read "THE WHIP" VOL. 1.—No. 16. MOB WRITE SENAT REPRESENT AT ON A resolution was introduced in Congress on September 22nd 1919, by Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, providing for Congressional investigation of race riots, mob violence and lynching throughout the country. The resolution provided that a subcommittee of the Senate Committee of the Judiciary not only investigate the recent riots in Washington and Chicago and other cities and the lynchings throughout the country, but "to ascertain as far as possible the cause for such race riots and lynchings and report what remedies or remery should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same." The Committee is given power to hold meetings and summon witnesses anywhere in the United States. Support for this resolution must come from every order-leaving citizen of the United States and particularly from every Negro in the United States. The National Ass'n for the Advancement of Colored People has asked every one of its mem- immediately write the Senators of their state and the Representatives of their districts an emphatic endorsement of this resolution so that the members of Congress will not be in doubt that their constituents want mob violence wiped out in the United States.

The crowd, more than 6,000 strong, went wild as Reed came on the stage, and all light wires to the building were cut. Pandemonium broke loose and cries of derision howled him down, while the audience surged upon the stage. Reed attempted to hold the floor for a few minutes, but was forced to make his exit without beginning his speech. After several minutes of the demonstration, a number of women climbed upon the stage and quieted the crowd. Reed could not be seen at his hotel here tonight, but it was announced that he would make no attempt to deliver his address. GRAND JURY TO PROBE LYNCH ING OF NEGROES Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 1—A special grand jury to investigate the lynchings of three negroes here Monday night and Tuesday morning will be organized and charged by Judge Leon McCord tomorrow. Governor Kilby has declared that special state agents will be at the disposal of the circuit court officers in seeking testimony to be presented. No flurries of race animosity followed the lynchings.

BANVARDS PERFORM FOR KING London, Eng., Sept. 8.—The Flying Banvards, an American novelty act, headed a special performance attended by the King and Queen, which was given upon royal command in celebration of peace here recently. The proceeds of the performance were donated to the Variety Artists Benevolent Fund, which maintains a home for the care of infirm variety The feature of the performance was a Pageant of Peace, presented by about 1,500 people, including the Royal Trumpeters. Variety artists who took part in the program are The Flying Banvards, Ernest Hastings, Robey and Loraine, Sam Barton, Arthur Prince and "Jim" Harry Tate, who is also well known to American audiences, Clarice Mayne and "That," Grock and Partner, DuCalion. The King and Queen were especially pleased with the performance of The Banvards. Colored Business Re-opened Montgomery, Alabama, Oct. 10—To all outward appearances, the mob passion has died down here, and unless some unforeseen incident should take place it is not believed there will be a renewal of the lynchings which have marked the last two days, following a number of criminal assaults upon white women by Negroes. When the sun went down last night, darkness ushered in a grim silence in marked contrast with the previous nights when there was desultory shooting, rumors of bloody fights, gruesome reports of the finding of a boy's body and many other reports that tend to fan the flame of race hatred to a point of actual open warfare. The streets of this city were clear of all Negroes last night and every business place in the Negro section was closed. At present four Negroes are known to have been killed, and one policeman was shot to death by a Negro. Sidney Roton, the 11-year-old white boy, whose disappearance caused excitement, was located at a late hour last night in Atlanta. It was a well-known fact early in the night that a definite plan of action had been decided upon should it develop that the boy had been murdered nd for this reason a large portion of the city did not sleep throughout the night. Almost every home throughout the residential section kept all lights burning. Some of the foremost radical Negro leaders have been run out of the city, and hundreds of Negroes left voluntarily throughout the day Monday and Tuesday. The entire city is being patrolled by special police to prevent further lynchings or rioting. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919 HATRED LYNCH LAW Omaha Riots ARK Riots CHICAGO Riots WASHINGTON Riots U.S. SO THIS IS DEMOCRACY? OUR DEAD ON THE BORDER BROWN PLANNED TO LIVE IN CHICAGO Special to WHIP—Oct. 12-19. Dr. Johnson, the popular Dentist, was killed by the insurgent whites in Helena, Ark. It is alleged that Dr. Johnson and his brothers fought to save his life to the bitter end and killed and wounded several riots before he was mortally shot. Dr. oJohnson had purchased a home at 44th and Calumet Ave. and his wife is already living in Chicago. The Doctor planned to move his office to Chicago in the spring. St. and Lenox Ave., Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of Howard University, Washington, made the assertion that Negroes were too prosperous in the South. He told of one worker who bought two automobiles, of another another who purchased two pianos of others who wasted their wages on silk shirts or automobile rides.

Prince Rega is the son of an African king, and a brother to the heir to the throne. Ousted from his father's kingdom after expressing his opinion of idol worship on his return from a tour of the world, Prince Rega is lecturing throughout the United States until such time as the death of his father will permit his return to his native country for the conversion of his countrymen. Speaking eight languages, according to the card presented by B. E. Burgess, his manager, the prince was interpreter to the allied armies and, among other things, is a scientist, artist, dramatist, tragedian, poet, anthropologist, phrenologist, psychologist, ethnologist, and physical culture exponent, having studied for ten years in European universities.

BURGLAR GETS 5 YEARS Houston, Tex., Oct.9—L. Madison, who was arrested in a Milam street pool hall a few nights ago and charged with burglary, got off with a five-year suspended sentence before a jury in criminal district court Wednesday. The Negro said he worked at the pool hall and had gone in late at night to get a shirt he left there. He also testified he saw service in France. St. and Lenox Aye., Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of Howard University, Washington, made the assertion that Negroes were too prosperous in the South. He told of one worker who bought two automobiles, of another another who purchased two pianos of others who wasted their wages on silk shirts or automobile rides. Dr. Moore has been in charge of the National Security League's campaign of Americanization in the southern states. He said he had received co-operation from the officials of every place he visited. Dr. Moore is spoken of as one of the leading Negro educators of the country. He stated that twenty teachers and five superintendents were selected by him and placed in charge of the work of improving the schools for Negroes in the South. Man Steals Clothes Police Arrest Houston, Texas, Oct. 10—Detective Sergeants Fraley and Dresden recovered nine suits of clothing and several pairs of men's socks Wednesday in the arrest of two men thought to have broken into Edward Shuman's clothing store, 292 Hastings street, early Sunday morning, when $600 in men's clothing was stolen. Oscar Foster, 28 years old, 141 Catherine street, and Harry Davis, 34 years old, 199 Hartford street, are charged with breaking and entering. A third man, Arthur Edwards, 29 years old store proprietor at 356 St. Antoine street, is charged with receiving stolen property. Police say he was being used as a "fence."

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 10—Freeman Clark, Negro, Wednesday is facing a term of five years in the penitentiary for the killing of Arthur Williams, a jury in Judge H. P. Heflin's division of the criminal court having returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree in the case Tuesday night. The testimony adduced by the state showed that the men quarreled over the ownership of $5 at Fossil Mines in November, 1917, as a result of which Clark killed Williams. Clark admitted the killing, but claimed self-defense. The verdict was returned at 10 o'clock Tuesday night, Judge Heflin being summoned from his home to receive it. Charges Anti-Negro Propaganda Caused Omaha Riots for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today made public a statement charging that a prominent cause of the Omaha riots in which the mayor of the city narrowly escaped hanging, was distorted newspaper accounts featuring the word Negro in connection with crime. In many cases, according to the statement, alleged crimes were attributed to Negroes and it was afterwards discovered that the victims could not in any way identify the criminals. "To the race riots in Atlanta and in Washington which are directly attributable to newspaper headlines, is now to be added the shame of Omaha," says the statement. "Trouble was foreseen for months. A recent report from our Omaha branch says: 'Since the Washington and Chicago riots we are having to fight a propaganda to discredit the Negro in this community. The Daily News, Bee and the World-Herald, our daily papers, persist in placing glaring headlines every alleged crime of Negroes. Upon investigation, we find they have no ground for doing so, as the victims do not in many cases know who their assailants are. We are writing the Chamber of Commerce asking for a conference with them, the newspaper men, and such leading citizens as they deem best. We hope in this way to stop some of it as our requests to the papers have been ignored." "As early as last June the Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a meeting protesting against remarks of the chief of police in which he seemed to hold the entire colored population responsible for the acts of a few Negro criminals. At that meeting resolutions were passed deploring the tendency of newspapers to emphasize by glaring headlines the race of suspected assailants in cases of crime attributed to colored men." PRESIDENT ASKED TO AID NEGRO RIOTERS. One hundred thousand colored citizens sized a petition to be sent to President Wilson asking that emency be shown the colored people who took part in the recent race rioting in Washington, according to an announcement made by Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, president of the White Cross Labor Federation Bureau of America and pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N St., between Ninth and Tenth streets, Northwest, yesterday.

Special to the Whip.—Washington, Ga., Oct. 10th. Jack Gordan and Bayce Forton charged with attempt to assault upon the high sheriff Freeman of this county, were taken from the county jail by a pose of bloodthirsty human canines, tied to a tree and with the aid of kerosene their bodies were quickly consumed by the flames set by the mob. KILLS INNOCENT MAN. Mose Martin, a very progressive colored man in this vicinity, was on his way to the city to buy food for his farmhands. The lynchers met and halted him and when they asked him if he knew the whereabouts of certain negroes whom they were desirious of killing because, out of his ignorance of the whole affair, he was seized and carried to the same spot the other colored men's bones lay shrinking from the scorching flames of the modern fiery furnace. Colored Man Given 30 Yrs. -- Jury Out 30 Min. Camden, N. J., Oct. 10—It took less than thirty minutes today to try and to sentence to from twenty to thirty years in state prison James hittings, the colored man for whom a posse searched continuously from last Monday, because of an attack near Merchantville on a white woman, the wife of a shipyard worker. Whitings admitted in court having choked the woman, but denied criminal assault. She fainted after identifying the Negro as the man who had assaulted her. The sentencing of Whitings had no visible effect on him, and he pleaded only for protection "from the mob." The assault caused intense excitement among the residents of Merchantville and nearby towns and open threats of violence were heard. For twenty-four hours a posse of more than 500 armed men searched the surrounding country for the Negro, but after his capture and the assurance by the police that he would be brought to a speedy trial, the crowd dispersed. The usual quiet prevailed today. The man was captured last night by a detective near Mount Holly. He was nearly exhausted from a night in a nearby swamp and offered no resistance.

This hellish ignorant and feindish mob like a giant octopus was not satisfied with the paucity of the numbers they had burned, continued to ravage the whole section for 30 mile square, in search for more negroes to slaughter. The mob was about a thousand in number and had automobiles, cow-hide whips and army rifles and red neck moonshine whiskey to keep up their exaggerated cannibalistic passions. NEGROES LEAVE TO JOIN VILLA All negroes in this section are leaving at once to join the Carranza and Villa Forces. They claim that conditions are bad for the working people but they could not be as bad as they are in the South, if so they would take a chance in hell rather than stay in Ga. or in any part of the South where protection of life is as forcing as time for feathers. Speeding Auto -- Jury Hold Two Oct. 9—A coroner's verdict of homicide, holding Arthur Rickman, 20 years old, colored, of 4273 West Belle place, as principal, and David Johnson, 16, colored, of the same address, as accessory, was returned today in the death, at the city hospital yesterday afternoon, of Mrs. Martha Springli, 58 years old, 2624A Cass avenue, from a fractured skull suffered in the forenoon when she was knocked down at Jefferson and Cass avenues by an automobile driven by Rickman. Witnesses testified that Rickman was driving at 60 or 70 miles an hour. Rickman has not been arrested. His car was found half an hour after the accident, wrecked against the curbing at Jefferson and Sullivan avenues. Johnson told policemen that Rickman was driving at a "pretty good clip" at the time of the accident. When he remonstrated, Johnson said, Rickman told him he wanted to see "what the car would do." Johnson said that he left the automobile after the accident and had not seen Rickman since. Mrs. Springli's death is the sixty-eighth automobile fatality since January 1.

It is the ts without reserve the cause of Marcus Garvey and Our Possibilized Missionaries By J. Arthur Davis The great vision of Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the union of blacks everywhere and his dream of the Black Star Steamship Line to link them together in travel and commerce, is a practical proposition that is finding, it seems, ready response in the new Negro. It is not only practicable, but it has always been a necessity. It has needed an inter-national leader. Heretofore, the homelike inclination of the race has narrowed its horizon and our leadership has been local and scarcely national; appointed and not produced. Every great crisis both makes and unmakes great men. This leader, 32 years of age, from the West Indies, has been produced by the new race selfconsciousness born of the great war, which has made black men everywhere discover each other and feel like brothers, both those of the United States, Central and South America, the West Indies and Africa. In the realization of this dream, he has already organized large numbers in the above named countries and the proposed company has purchased a ship. Like Bishop Turner, he dreams of a Negro flag in Africa. Like our missionaries, he claims that if Africa is to be saved, it must be saved by black men. But he would save it by wholesale, while our missionaries have been trying to save it by the retail. For fifty years they have been raising money to that end. We do not criticise their good intentions, but their stupid methods. To send one missionary with a Bible in one hand and a hoe in the other to christianize and industrialize three hundred million natives is an absurd procedure. They could just as easily have established a steamship line and carried a substantial civilization. The most concrete example of missionary stupidity is now underway. On the eighth of this month a couple who have been educated in this country, the husband as a doctor and the wife as a sick nurse, will sail for Liberia with three children. Rev. Jorden has raised among the Baptists six thousand dollars to defray their expenses. This sum is to pay transportation for them and himself, to buy $500 worth of medicine for the natives, condensed milk for the children, Bibles and song books, clothes, etc., and an ox yoke for himself to use to instruct the natives in driving oxen. With fifty times this much money which the two and one-half million Baptists could raise in one week as an investment in a steamship line to Liberia, we could carry missionaries, commerce and develop a real and substantial civilization. If we are to be free like other people, we must develop world travel and commerce. We cannot live unto ourselves. A free and aggressive spirit knows neither opposition nor boundaries. We wish for Hon. Marcus Garvey success in organizing Chicago this week and can earnestly encourage with him the elimination of all fossilized leadership.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 10—Nothing but 1,500 United States soldiers and a wrecked court house today remain as reminders that Sunday night Omaha was in the hands of a wild, howling mob for nine hours. "Business as usual" was the slogan today. The morning papers contained the announcement of the assault yesterday upon Mrs. N. G. Winner by a Negro. General Leonard Wood had expected something of a flare-up when the news became public, but nothing happened, and at noon the General recinded practically all orders affecting the public. The annual fall carnival, which had been suspended for three days, was permitted to resume. An athletic event is going on in the city auditorium. All theaters and movie houses are open. All downtown streets are lighted with different colored bulbs and the buildnigs are decorated with the national colors. Arrests of the rioters continued today. County Attorney A. V. Shotwell is preparing information of murder against six of the rioters. These men are already under arrest. More than 150 are in jail and will be held until their cases can be investigated. Wholesale arrests are to continue as rapidly as information can be secured. Governor McKelvie are rived in Omaha this afternoon to asist in the work of prosecution. The Advisory Committee, with E. A.

(Special to Whip.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.—The last act of the 12th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League, which closed its three edays' session after midnight in the MetropolitanA. M. E. Church, was to appoint a committee of five to urge upon Congress the enactment of the MaddenBill against Jim-Crow cars, and the enforcement of this session of both the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. This followed the story by William Monroe Trotter, elected peace petitioner from the League, of how he reached Paris despite the positive stand of the Government that none of the League's delegates should be given passports to Paris. "The new spirit among Colored Americans is resisting attacks upon their lives is something for which President Wilson himself is chiefly responsible," declared Mr. Trotter. "His reiteration of noble sentiments and making our boys fight under their inspiration has given birth to a new spirit of manliness," he said, and the large audience applauded wildly. The Plan for Defense. The convention, which was attended by 100 delegates from 30 states, adopted a plan to "Make America Safe for Americans" by the formation of a chain of local equal rights leagues, to be grouped into state leagues, al lito be joined together in the National League through a national headquarters in Boston and in Washington, leagues to be of, for and by the race. Rights Defense Fund Drive Rights Defense Fund Drive. Arrangements were also perfected for an "Equal Rights Drive" for a race-defense fund of $200,000,00 to begin next month and end on Fredrick Douglass' Birthday Anniversary Feb. 14, 1920. Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the church, was elected Finance Director of this drive. Address to Country. An address to the country was adopted which demands the restoration of the ballot to the Colored people of the South, and the establishment of World Democracy for the Colored race in the U. S. The address says: "World Democracy yas now put into practice for the Colored American is an "Ignus Fatius", which leads him into the swamps of noxious gases in forms of proscription and prejudice calculated to degrade and finally to exterminate him as a race in the world."

C. M. Tanner of Washington as director. N. S. Taylor of Mississippi was elected president. The delegation adopted a statement on the Omaha lynching, declaring it vindicated the league in having called the convention to "Make America Safe."

"National Equal Rights League, representing America's colored millions, who abhor crime by whomsoever committed, and believe ever in the supremacy of the law which should know no color line, as there is no color in crime. "Our league, having foreseen the danger when it held its convention at Washington last week to 'Make America Safe,' besides having petitioned President Wilson in Paris at the peace conference, against lynchings in the United States, now solemnly warns the government, in view of yesterday's Sabbath lynching of a colored prisoner and attempted lynching of a white mayor at Omaha, that America's influence for world democracy the World War, are lost, civilized government is displaced by anarchy unless mob-murdering of Americans and security of life, supreme aim of here ceases. Since police will not stop it, we urge you to initiate legislation to put lynching under federal jurisdiction at this session. "N. S. TAYLOR, President. "WILLIAM M. TROTTER, Second Warning The National Equal Rights League sent a second warning to Senator Nelson and Representative Volstead, chairmen of the eSenate and House Judiciary committees (owing to the double lynching near Montgomery, Ala., within twenty-four hours after the Omaha lynching. The telegram reads as follows: "Again corroborating the telegram of yesterday that our warning against anarchy was timely, as proven by triple lynching in Alabama in less than twenty-four hours after the Omaha lynching. We again urge you to initiate promptly legislation to put lynching under federal jurisdiction at this session." OPPOSE MEXICAN WAR Washington, Oct. 4. 4.—President Gompers has received a set of resolutions from the union of marine engineers of Cuba against the United States warring on Mexico. It is stated that "the present propaganda that is being carried on in the United States of America against the republic of Mexico is being fomented by the American capitalists who have oil concessions in that country," and that the labor unions of Cuba protest against that action and notify their brother, the American workers, that they oppose this program with all the means at their command.

Johnson, News Of The Aus : Nation’s Capital (By the Readers’ News Service.) ‘That the young Negroes of Wash- ‘ington are awake to any business opportunities that might present themselves is evident in the number of new enterprises that are being fostered by young mn, most of whom hav just returned from some military experience, and many of whom are returning to college at the same time they are entering upon their business adventures, The newest enterprise is that of Mr. T. B, Dyett and Mr, Norman Me- Ghee, both of Howard University. Both of these young men formerly attended Howard, were taken away by the war and have now returned to pursue their studies, But while at- tending classes in the evenings in the Law School they are conducting a splendid little lunch opposite the uni- versity during the day. For many years a similar business was con- ducted there by the former occupant, and upon his leaving, Messrs. Dyett and MeGhee secured the location, and after very great improvements have entered upon what promises to be a splendid business adventure. Just a few days ago Mr. C. B. Cur- ley, an instructor in the School of Business and Finance at Howard Uni- versity, and who saw two years’ serv- ice as a cadet at Des Moines and a first lieutenan tin the 368th Infantry, ‘opened what is called Curley’s Can- teen, Mr. Curley carries a complete line of novelties, including Negro dolls and other toys, pennants and school supplies. He is specializing in hair and skin preparations, for which ‘ther eis a very great demand, Mr. ‘Curley was in charge of a large en- teen while stationed at Camp Meade, and that experience, together with his knowledge of business methods gained in special study, assures him of a success in his enterprise.

After having served so many years in prison he is unaccustomed to free- dom, is shy of automobiles, of which there were very few when he was first incarcerated, He is about look- ing for work, and although the best part of his life has ben spent in con- finement, he is not abashed by the difficulties that might lay in the way of his spending the remainder of his life happily and successfully.

In practically every game, either hard concentrated or running attacks were used to gain ground on the first two or three downs. When the sec- ondary defense had been drawn up to reinforce the forward wall, the for- ward pass was used to make the sec- ondary players return to their normal defensive positions. Fumbling marred a number of the contests, but this is to be expected at this time of the year. The players have not yet become accustomed to the hard tackling and interfererce which is going to be one of the strik- ing features of the season, and they have not yet learned the all impor- tant thing: to hang on to the ball re- gardless of whatever else happens. ‘The fact must be taken into consid- eration that practically every team will be composed of one or more play- ers who faced danger on foreign bat- tlefields. They have forgotton the meanifig of the word fear, and still retain some of that exceptional vigor of attack taught by war. Other players become imbued with the same spirit and any warrior who flinches in the pinches will not be weleome iicane ca. Indiana and Purdue are the first of the conference elevens to be given only slight chances of making eredi- table showings in the Big Ten race.

Although the game was staged on a muddy field, Towa played the right sort of football under the conditions and now will set sail for the Mlinois game at Urbana on Oct. 18. The Hawkeye have no game scheduled next Saturday, Michigan got away to its usual good start by winning from Case, 34 to 0. The Wolverines cut loose at once ‘and scored after the game was three minutes old, Qhio State trounced ‘Ohio Wesleyan, 38 to 0, through the ‘ability of the veterans to perform just as they did before they went into the service following the 1916 season.

Hates Shims Sate to Start: In its game with Kalamazoo col- lege, Notre Dame did not play the caliber of football of which it is cap- able. The South Bend aggregation apparently did not realize it was in an actual contest and did not put forth its best efforts at all times Coach Rockne and Assistant Derais have the men, but the attack must work smoother and the players must be more steady on the shift plays. It was just the sort of game for the players to realize general improve- ment is needed, New York to See First Decision Bouts in Years New York, Oct.

COLORED STARS ON PURPLE TEAM Colored football players are sel- dom, if ever seen, in the lineups of conference elevens, but Northwestern University has a pair of colored boys who are going to be hard to keep out of the Purple games this fall. One is Sam Peyton and the other Buddy Tur. ner, and both are mighty valuable cogs in the machine of Coach Char- ley Bachman, Peyton is a former Englewood high school star, the same prep institu- tion that produced Bachman, and as a halfback he was the fear of all the local prep teams. When Peyton wore the Purple of Englewood he won places on most of the all-star teams for his open field running and ground gaining ability and: was also a good member to put in the front line. He has not slowed up any since donning the Purple of the Northwestern, and his second year on the team ought, to find him a high class man in the Big Ten. . ‘Turner is « graduate of Evanston high school, and was another regular candidate on the various all-star team as a reward for his stellar work in the line, Turner is out for a tackle position with the Methodists, and in spite of the several classy men that Bachman has to select from, there is little doubt but that Turner will be in quite regularly. W. K. VANDERBILT HEADS FRANCES TURF WINNERS Paris, Oct. 4—W. K. Vanderbilt, whose horse Tchad won the French derby, heads the list of winning own- ers during the racing season in France this year, announced today. His horses won 412,000 francs dur- ing the season. Baron Edouard Rothscheld is sec- ond on the list and J. D. Cohn third. The American jockey, Frank O'Neill, who has been riding in Europe for a number of years, is the leading jockey, having ridden fifty-eight win- ning mounts. Bellhouse is second and Sharpe third on the list. The strike of stable boys on the French tracks has not yet been set- tled. The trainers today delivered an ultimatum that any stable boy failing to report this morning would be discharged. Kerr, Ring and Eller Star in World’s Series seen better buseball than that ex- hibited by the Cincinnati Reds last Friday, Saturday and Monday. The White Sox played good ball, too, but any effort to alibi them by bringing the argument of luck or breaks of the game is simply an insult to the ster- ling work of the Reds. "First of all, the fans had reason to rejoice because of the pitching of Dick Kerr in the first Chicago game. His hurling had less merit than some pitching by the Reds, but it pleased the Chicago ranks more. Then came the great game by | Ring. ‘This was remarkable enough |to give the Red pitcher a place in the world series Hall of Fame. And lastly came Hod Eller to pitch the most remarkable world series game ever played, He struck out six White Sox in a row in the second and third innings. ‘This is a new world series record, Not satisfied with this, Eller proceeded to score the run which would have won the game even if the Reds had not scored four more. He opened the sixth inning with a two-bagger. He scored on a timely single the first run of the game and Hhetpew break the back of the Sox de- jfense. | The dope has been upset all over a lten-acre lot, The baseball experts— jand we were one of them—who doped the White Sox to win because of superior class in a league that was considered superior, have been silenced. The figures can’t be de- pended on, Nor is it true that an American league pennant winner has Ja better chance to win the world |championship than the National [longue winner. ‘That's pure bunks: The White Sox have shown nothing on the baif field this series to warrant saying they have such an awful lot of class. The Reds are the fellows who displayed the class, They out-gamed the Sox and out played them. They out-pitched them —whieh was expected—but the Sox could not overcome this advantage in any way by better strategy or team play. The Reds hit the best pitching the Sox could muster, but, best of all, they got the hits when they were needed. The Reds seemed to have an unlimited supply of those well-known timely hits, In so many ways this world series lis remarkable. Remarkable, first of all, for the excellent, well-balanced pitching of no less than four dif- ferent Cincinnati pitchers—Reuther, the Cub cast-off, who sewed the first game up in a knot; Sallee, the veteran credited with winning a game because his teammates made four runs on four bases on balls followed by four hits; Ring, whose achieve- {ment is remembered by Chicago fans, and Eller, Sox cast-off, who pitched better ball than any of the other three and won the game with a two: | bagger. | The White Sox looked like Three- Eye tailenders. ‘The great and fa- mous Eddie Collins, the wonderful money player,must have been playing [for about 20 cents. He made a bad muff of Roush’s grounder in the ninth, and he didn’t get anything re- sembling a hit all afternoon, WORLD SERIES MELONS.

Little wonder that he is the most envied player in the game. Some players like Walter Johnson and Nap Lajoie never had the good fortune to share in a big series, despite their greatness and long careers, But along comes Collins and falls right into six of them in the last nine years. f “< bs 4 Eo es i a If Eddie goes through without « mishap he will set a record for world series play. Jack Barry, his former teammate on the old Athletics, shared in six world series but played only in five of them, as a broken hand kept him on the bench during the last one. Collins began with the Athletics in 1910 against the Cubs. He played against the Giants in 1911 and 1913, ‘and against the Boston Braves in ‘1914. He next took part in the big ‘series as a member of the White Sox ‘against the Giants in 1917. | UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAYS The veteran shortstop, Neal Ball, formerly of the American League, who captained the New Haven team of the Eastern League last season, has notified the New Haven manage- ment of his final decision not to play any more professional ball. After sixteen years of honorable service he thinks he has had enough and, what is more pertinent, his wife thinks the same. ‘To Ball belongs the credit of having, while a member of the Cleveland team in 1909, made the only unassisted triple play ever made in the American League. He thus duplicated the 1878 feat of Paul Hines of Providence, who made the only unassisted triple play ever made in the National League. In addi- tion to these two feats there have been only thirteen more such plays in the entire history of professional hall. The complete record of unas- sisted triple plays is of interest, hence we give it herewith: Paul Hines, outfielder, of Provi- dence, at Providence, R. I, May 8, 1878.

E: 3515 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, IL Telephone Douglas 22 A REAL LEGAL RESERVE COMPANY Liberty Life Insurance Company, new being organized as a Stock Company, capital $100,000.00. Incorporated under the strict laws of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company. Do not become confused this is not a MUTUAL COMPANY or an ASSESSMENT ASSOCIATION. It proposes to issue policies and transact business along the same plans as the New York Life, Illinois Life, Metropolitan and all other life insurance companies. It is not at about the same rates and plans as the other legitimate Industrial Insurance Companies. RACE HAS OLD LINE COMPANIES SOUTH. Today we have Old Life Legal Reserve Companies owned and controlled by Negros. And it is with a great deal of pride that we refer to the STANDARD LIFE of Atlanta, Georgia, the Old Life Legal Reserve force, 409 employees, and assets over Half a Million Dollars and incurred employment to 409 members of the Race. Of the above amount of Insurance in force, $6,031,702 was written during 1918, which proves beyond a doubt that the Negro will support his own. Especially is this true when we are able to compete with the other fellow, and no company doing business with the Negro. OPEN YOUR OWN STORES. From now and until eternity, we must begin opening grocery stores, shoe stores, dry goods stores, meat markets, fish markets and business places of every kind and de- sire. We have to be able to do that because we are a Negro. We have to have too many of that kind of business men in the past forty years. There are fortunes waiting for the Negro business man who will put in a line of fraternity and goods, and sell them just as reasonable as his competitor (the white man) in the same business. We have to be as well as your place of business clean and deal HONESTLY with your people. When that type of business man opens up any kind of business whatsoever among Negroes in his success, he will be assured from the very beginning, and after all, that is the only kind of business that matters. EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED ALIKE. Every Share of Stock will be sold for $30.00 per share to everybody. There is no price for the stock. The stockholders are all on an agreement standing with each other, and all paying the same price for their stock, and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the control of the Company by a few WE NEED YOUR HELP. We want you with us in the work. Many can help one, while one cannot help many. We must have the co-operation of hundreds for our people as stockholders, and are appealing to every Race-loving Negro to become a part of this Company. Join us, even if you are not a stockholder, and be a member of stockholders; the more we have, the stronger the Company will be. Other companies have made good. Don't you believe we can? NOW! RIGHT NOW! is the time to ACT! DO IT NOW! if we ever expect to get there. RIGHT NOW! is the time to start IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. NEVER BEFORE! has the old adage "IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH" been exemplified as now. The Directors of the LIBERTY LIFE are desirous of building a Company that will not only be a credit to the Race; but the greater part of the money put into this Institution will be used to give employment to people who are unable to work because of the lack of lucrative employment compatible with their ability are forced into mental job - where many a snark of genius is destined to be snuffed out for lack of opportunity to show itself. No longer are we dealing with the theoretical Negro of the past; but we are today dealing with practical, wide-awake, energetic and industrious members of a Race who in two short NOW! THE TIME TO ORGANIZE. The day of Negro enterprises of every kind has arrived, and the first one to be submitted to our people since the riot is the LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, the MASTER Dixon Line that will be owed and controlled by Negroes. Ten years ago the launching of an OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ON THE STOCK PLAN would have been impossible, because at that time no member of the Rate and the Company was interested in the business of the latter intention to organize but today things have changed. Not only have we men of experience to operate such a company, but we also have a sufficient number of business and professional men interested financially in the company who are capable of handling the affairs CAPITAL OUT OF CALAMITY. IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH IN THE OLD SAYING THAT "CAPITAL CAN BE MADE OUT OF CALAMITY" THEN FOR GOD'S LAKE USE IT USE FOR SOME PURPOSE, AND IF IT CAN BE MADE THE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH WE CAN SOLIDIFY THE RACE, THEN IT HAS PROVEN A GOOD SEND. THE HEAVY TOLL OF GOODS THEN WE WERE FORCED TO USE IF THE ROOTS WILL ONLY TEACH US THIS LESSON, THEN THEY WILL NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN. LIFE INSURANCE SAFEST INVESTMENT. Of all business organizations a life insurance company, based on scientific principles, and prudently conducted, is the safest. This is because its obligations mature in accordance with the laws of the country, and with the fluctuations of the money markets, or the rise and fall of stocks and bonds. Another fact, the life insurance companies of the United States control more money STOCK SOLD ON TERMS. THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK IS WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL OF OUR PEOPLE, AND WILL BE SOLD ON TERMS SUITABLE TO ALL. CHOSEN BY THEM DESIRE SUBSIDIARY. THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK IS $10.00 PER WITHIN FOR TWO SHARES $10.00 DOWN AND $10.00 PER MONTH. ETC. ETC. WE WANT EVERY MAN. WOMAN OR CHILD OF OUR RACE TO HAVE A SHARE OF this STOCK. WE WANT EVERY MAN. THEY WILL BE ACCOUNTED TO THE TIMES SUPPLEMENT REFERENCE, OUR DEPOSITORY, FRANKLIN TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, 35TH 37 W. Gav. Sv. Columbus, Ohio September 1919, 1919 As a citizen of Illinois permit me to congratulate you upon the incorporation of The Liberty Life Insurance Co. under the laws of our state. The necessity of a strong financial institution conducted by members of our race is absolutely essential to our economic progress in Illinois where more than TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND of our people live and where more than $800,000 is paid by them annually in premiums to life insurance companies operated and controlled by people of other states and other racial groups. Such an institution will be able to give employment to a large number of our competent men and women. Through its accumulations it will be able, under the laws of the state, to finance through mortgage loans, Colored business enterprises; to assist the Illinois colored farmers who now operate farm property valued in excess Six Million Dollars to increase their acreage, and to refund for our struggling churches more than $150,000 worth of first class mortages at rates of interest less exorbitant than is now being paid. In fact your company, if properly operated and supported, will be to our people in Illinois what the other insurance companies are to the white people a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved secur- THE CHICAGO WHIP ity. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race. Yours very truly. WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF STANDARD LIFE THINKS OF LIBERTY LIFE Atlanta, Ga., July 29, 1919 I have your letter of July 3rd which I found very interesting, also clipping showing charter of the Liberty Life Insurance Company. This came as a surprise to me—an agreeable one, however, to assure you, that you as incorporators an excellent list of business and professional men. This should mean volumes to the organization and quite an encouragement to you. I certainly wish you well in this organization. We need eight or ten life insurance companies, organized on the Legal Rescue basis, managed by men who look to the principle of building up an organization that will render service rather than to their own personal gain. Millions of our people are today crying out that Macedonia C—Come over and help us! We need the Liberty Life Insurance Company to help us answer these calls. Any service I can render you in this organization will be cheerfully given. I should like for you to keep me posted as to the progress you are making and shall appreciate any literature you may have for distribution. Yours truly, Nevan E. Perry A Legal Reserve Company incorporated under the insurance laws of the State of Illinois and owned and operated by members of our Race has been needed for years. And I am indeed glad to lend my support and influence to such a worthy institution that offers such a splendid field of opportunity for employing our people. You're truly. Oscar A. Prist For a long time I have wondered why some of our energetic men of finance and influence did not get together and organize an Old Line Legal Reserve Life insurance Company. Not only would such a company give employment to hundreds of our young men and women, but it would also be a profitable investment for our people. I am glad that I am a stockholder and will advice my friends to become stockholders in your Company. Your for success, Major N. H. Jackson Now that eight or ten of our leading business and professional men of Chicago have joined hands to organize such a gigantic financial proposition as a Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company under the strict insurance laws of the State of Illinois, then it is indeed time for us to draw our impulse and boost the worthy cause. I predict a bright and most prosperous future for the Liberty Life Insurance Company. Enclosed find my check. With it does my hearty good wishes for the success of your organization. Sincerely yours, Roy M. Young I am glad of the opportunity to become a stockholder in an institution which offers such a bright future for employment to our competent young men and women, besides giving protection to thousands of our homes and assisting in the education of our children. Other Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies in the south that are owned and operated by our people are making wonderful progress, and with a representative body of professional men such as you have on your, Board of Directors, I can see nothing, but success. When I return to Kansas City next week, I shall be instrumental in having my friends purchase stock in your company. Yours for success. Joseph M. Arnott Chicago, Illinois, September 29th, 1919. Chicago, Illinois. October 6th, 1919. It is indeed a pleasure for me to indorse your company and join hands with other friends of mine assisting in the organization. Not only will a Legal Reserve Company be a good sound investment but it will also open a source from which the Race can obtain loans on good securities at a fair rate of interest. That fact alone, should cause every member of the Race to become a stockholder, besides giving employment to our boys and girls who are deserving of better jobs than porters and cooks. Yours for continued success, Pastor St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, 5247 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, September 29th, 1919. Liberty Life Insurance Co., 3515 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen— Such a Company as the Liberty Life is an Institution that we have need in Illinois for the past twenty-five years. You have started the right way and I cannot see nothing ahead but success. If I can be of any assistance to you during your organization, you have but to call on me. Very truly yours, George T. Kersey . Accept my congratulations on your noble and worthy undertaking in organizing a Legal Reserve Company under the laws of Illinois. I think every man or woman who has children should be a stockholder of the Liberty Life Insurance Company on account of the splendid opportunity for employment to future generations. I think every man or woman who has children should stockholders larger dividends than some of the giants of the east. Some of them have made thousands of dollars from our people, but have never saw fit to give us employment of their own. I shall call at your office within the next day or two and purchase some stock, and will also do what I can to have my friends become, stockholders, believing, the investment Others have made good, and with the class of business and professional men behind your company, you can do the same. Very truly yours, Hakee Parker 0108. Never before has anything pleased me more than the article I read in the Defender stating that AT LAST we are going to have an Old Line or Legal Life Insurance Company that will be OWNED and CONTROLLED by members of the Race. Such a company should be a wonderful success. Will send you my check today for some stock and will do my best to interest others. Yours for success, Tony Caugston Chicago, Illinois, September 23rd, 1919. W. R. Cowan, Pres. Liberty Life Inc. Co. 215 E. Indian Ave. City Dear Mr. Cowen:--Your letter and literature calling my attention to the organization of an old line Life insurance Company to be named by members of our Race are to hand, Relying will say I am very much pleased to acknowledge this letter, and to command the work which you are doing in its special case. I believe we need such an organization. As soon as I am convinced that you have organized the company according to law and upon a substantial basis, I stand ready to give you whiteness support I can. Let me hear from you again and be assured of the fact that you will find in me a supporter of all movements that serve to develop independence and race-conscience of our people. Yours truly, If you are interested, which we believe you should be, fill in the form below and we will be pleased to furnish you with all the information you may require to secure a block of stock in the LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO. 3515 Indiana Avenue, CHICAGO Without any obligation, on my part, will thank you to send me further particulars relative to securing stock in your company.

He must also learn from others who have been successful, how to agitate, The Cubans and Philipinos Kept juntas in the capitals of the civilized nations during their efforts to rid themselves of Spanish oppres- sion. The business of the juntas was to ogitate, and to sce to it that the press of these nations molded public sentiment against Spain. So that when impulsive America decided to ‘intervence there were none to take up the ‘cudgel in favor of Spain, ‘The successful propagation of anti- Spanish sentiment conducted by the juntas did more than all else to put down Spanish oppression. It was “of the same piece,” except it was a ac- complished by embassies, that Japan succeeded in having the sympathy of the world when it engaged the giant Russia in mortal combat. Even those nations which have cause to fear “the yellow peril” took sides with Japan— gave her their unofficial sympathy. Russia still has her troubles; and on account of successful agitations by the Jews, she has little sympathy. But that which is of mbst interest to us is the steady and persistent prop- ‘ganda by the South, to Europe and especially to the Northern states of - own country. Southern boys are ent north to do work on newspapers, nearly every southerner moving north, cast or west becomes an agi- tator against the rights of the Negro. Some southern preachers gladly ac- ¢ept calls to northern churches so as to sow the devil's seed. (It is but just to say that some of them are christians, and are glald to get away from south- gn intolerance.) But the most ef- fectual method of persuading the North that the Negro is a demon and endangers the “Anglo-Saxon civiliza- tion” (whatever that is) is the use of leeturers.

State St. 6 | These gentlemen, some of them with soft, sweet but sophistic ar- guments, some by open, foul-mouthed abuse of the Negro, some by defying northern public sentiment have for the last forty years begged, cajoled and brow-beaten northern audiences in an effort to mold public sentiment against the Negro, ‘This method has had much effect and is doing us more damage than any other agency. Can we not “take our cue” from them and keep in the north and popularize lecturers who know the story and have the moral courage to tell the world what the South truly is? Those who will not fear to break the seal and from the red book of Southern oppression read the things which never find their way to public atteation in any other manner. Keep the lecturers in the field, keep them posted of the daily occurrences of the South: so that every speech would have new and awful ‘Ilustrations of the true state of affairs. We must in some way counteract the effect made by Southern orators and this ean be done by meeting them in their fields, by camping on the trails of the Tillmans and the Vardamans and answering their speeches to the same udiences. ‘The Negro must cooperate with the agitators of the hour by sending brave hearts to tell the other side of Southern barbarities. If it is argued that lecturers and Juntas are expensive, let me anewer, when the Chinese determined to fight exclusion a tax of one dollar each was by their leader levied upon Chinese residents in the United States. The one hundred thousand dollars thus raised enabled them to employ the best legal talent in America to fight for them. No matter what their success in that particular fight, I speak of the manner and sucess of raising money for race defence.

Today addresses were made at Gurley, Triana, Oakwood and the state agricultural and mechanical col- lege at Normal, Ala. ‘The tour was planned with a view to stimulating interest in agricul- tural and educational development among the colored people and pro- moting sympathetic and helpful re- lations between the white and col- oved people in all matters that uf- fect their common interest. The party was guided by President Buchanan, of the A. and M. college at Normal, who planned the tour at the invitation and suggestion of citi- zens of both races, The tour for Thursday will inelude stops at Scotts- boro, Athens and Decatur.

A re- cent report from our Omaha branch says: Since the Washington and Chicago riots we are having to fiht a propa- tanda to discredit the Negro in this community. The Daily News, Bee and the World-Herald, our daily pepers, persist in placing in glaring heallines every alleged crime of Negroes. Upon investigation we find they have no ground for doing so, as the victims do not in many cases know who their assailants are, We are writing the Chamber of Commerce asking for a conference with them, the newspaper ‘men, and such leading citizens as they deem best, We hope in this way to stop some of it as our requests to the papers have been ignored. “As carly as last June the Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple held a meeting protesting against remarks of the chief of police in which he seemed to hold the entire colored population responsible for the acts of a few Negro criminals.

Howard University News Notes Washington, District of Columbia ‘The ‘Trustees of Howard Univarsits by formal action last February (1919) decided to eliminate all se. condary departments of the Univer. sity including the Academy and the Commercial College. It was felt at the time that very serious inroads would probably be made upon the en- rollment at the beginning of the year, October 1919, in view of the radical action thus taken, The first week's registration at the University last year was six hundred fifty-one stu- dents including the College and secondary departments, i. e., the Academy and Commercial College. The registration for the first week of the schoo! term 1919-20, including the students entering ithe Freshman and other classes is six hundred seventy- four; in other words the University enrollment has held its own. The number of students admitted to the Freshman elags along this year is three hundred twenty, and greatly exceeds the registration of the Fresh. man class last year ‘The registration of the Howard University Law Sehoo! at the begin- ning of the term 1918-19 was forty- eight (48); the total number reg- istered during’ the first week of the present University term is seventy- five (75), with twenty-five (26) to thirty (30) applications still pend- ing. In the Howard University Medical School the registration for the first week of the present year is one hundred sixtysfive, with six remain- ing days duritig which Medical stu- dents may register—a total enroll- ment of ninéhundred fourteen (914) in all departments of the University during the first week. ‘This enrollment represents the largest number of colored students ever enrolled at any institution in America in purely college and profes- sional courses, Howard University thus starts out upon the high mission and assumes a new leadership, in meeting the de- mand for a NATIONAL NEGRO UNIVERSITY, thus fulfilling her pro- per duty and mission as a national institution for the higher and profes- ‘onal education of colored youth The opening week is an augury of the great future ahead of the Uni- versie fe Hlaborate physical changes have taken place at Howard University luring the summer.

He is known as the buttermilk man and has his customary seat every game fdr the nist seventeen years. The racing at Latonia brought a number of followers to the city also, but they forsook racing for the two days of basebal. The three game in Chicago were well attended by famous colored base- ball fans from far and near, Too numerous were the fans to mention all, but the following oceupied boxes: Box 56 oceupied by Mr. William Bot: toms, Alderman L.

And turning to a few bystanders who were also wait- ing for another car, he, in bitter sar- asm remarked: “The American civilization taught my fathers Christianity—that it was to be the universal religion, that the God of the Christians is also Creator of all men. But, although He gave the eNgro the same desires, passions, heart-longings and capacities for ac- quiring and enjoying which the whites possess, He marked the Negro with a color as a badge which God in- tended to be a perpetual bar to the Negro’s right to enjoy the blessings of civilization.” And with « clenched fist and em- phatie gesture he vehemently cried; “I would not worship suc® a God. 1 would find another who be more just!” After « long, deep breath, the old gentleman's smile came back, and as he moved away, he quietly remarked: “1 DO believe in God, and T know that His votaries who teach that He is a respecter of races are lying.” ‘As we took our seats in the car, 1 thought, God would not bestow a de- sire and the ability to acquire a bless- ing which would be unlawful for one to attain (because of color). ‘The deprivation of others is unlawful, and but intensifies the Negro’s determi- nation to enter into the full enjoy- ment of the best whieh he helped America to acquire in her political, economic, and religious activities. Opposition to this ean only bring about racial friction, and bedim America’s glory to. the vanishing point, till all the world will know that either America is teaching a false code of religious morals or else ly- ing on God.

SRe Danger of Telepaone mootn’ When a renewal of an epidemic of influenza stares us in the face, it is well for us to consider all possible means which may augment the prop: agation of the disease. ‘The Public Telephone Booth is un- doubtedly a menace under such con- ditions, All sorts of people with all sorts of diseases xo into the narrow. ‘poorly ventilated, ill smelling box and the receiver is pressed against the ear and the mouth of the user is hell near to and even against the trans- mitter. If a skin disease is present, which involves the ear, the germs of th edisease contaminate the receiver and are inoculated into, the skin of the next user. In the use of the transmiter, a spray of moisture laden with germs, come from the mouth, covers the instrument and saturates the air in the booth. Since the booth is often kept warm and there is no circulation of air, the conditions for keping the germs alive and permit- ting them to grow are ideal. Imagine thit a person who has just recovered from influenza or who wil come down with it the next day, using the tele- phone! Oftentimes, you are waiting for the user to get thru and you step into the both and receive a com plete exposure to the disease. These facts not only apply to influenza, but to almost any comunicable disease, Modern practical needs have evolved the telephone booth without any consideration of hygiene. How then may we overcome the dangers ‘of the enclosed telephone? In the first place, the door should be kept ‘open ag much as posisble, Some sort of apparatus, such asa revolving fan may be used for artificial ventilation. Aqain, antiseptics should be freely used. It would be well if the booth could be fumigated with sulphur or formaldehyde cach day. A jar of antiseptic solution with a sponge may be kept in the booth to be used to swab off the npparatus before they are used. When a person is known to be an actual carrier of disease, it is legal to foreibly prevent them from using the public telephone.

"How Can I Miss When I Have Dead Aim" ENCOURAGEMENT By John Gradski, Butcher Workmen Organizer I have lived and I have learned And I have traveled through; And I have spent many a day trying To make a union man of you. And the time that I have spent Giving to you my glad hand; Here's a chance for you, good brother It is to help the Union stand. If I had passed the laborers up That toiled till setting sun; For he never had a union card, Or had a button on. To feel the thrill that comes to him Was to face the laborers one by one And give to them a union talk And say, "Put your button on." And I have trod the troubled paths Where tangle burrs grew; And now I thank the Lord above I've made a union man of you. Now let us stand as union men, And have someone to back us And be as good citizens, In the world as the Packers. ENACTS ANTI-STRIKE LAW. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 4.—The Alabama legislature has rewarded workers of this state who fought in the great war for liberty and democracy by passing a law against strikes. A penalty of the law declare that if it is enforced to the letter it will be impossible for any group of Alabama workers to suspend work. Section two of the bill is as follows: "Any person, firm or corporation, who enters into any agreement, combination or understanding with another or others that the party so agreeing shall not engage in or aid in carrying on public service, or who so agrees or conspires with others to prevent, retard or impede third persons from engaging in or working at any public service, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." CO-OPS. INCREASING Clarksville W. Va., Oct. 4.—Cooperative stores are springing up in various parts of northern West Virginia. The parent one is located at Grafton, where union railroad men and other stockholders have made the Grafton co-operative store a big success. At Parkersburg railroad men are organizing such a store to be fashioned after the one at Grafton. At Martinsburg, Keyser, Rowlesburg, Tunnelton, Wendell, Simpson and other points, co-operative stores have been established.

This is shown in the preliminary report on wages paid hotel and restaurant employees issued by the bureau of labor statistics in September labor review. Men predominate in the industry, 24,000 out of the 40,000 employees included being men and only 16,000 women. Of the 3,800 cooks, only 350, or 9 per cent, are women; of the 4,200 dishwashers, 1,700, or 40 per cent, are women; of the kitchen help, only 1,100 out of 3,000, or 37 per cent, are women. There is a striking contrast between the wages paid these men and women in the same occupation. Thus 24 men cooks are paid $10 a day, while only one woman receives as much as $6 a day. Waiters, maids, bellmen and baggage porters are expected to supplement their wages by tips. Averages for each city of the value of such tips show that maids receive an average of 11 cents to 88 cents a day, while bellmen and waiters receive from $1.27 to $3.78 and from $1.16 to $3.67, respectively. IRON MOULDERS PROGRESSING Worcester, Mass., Oct. 4—As a result of a settlement with two of the largest foundries in this city, the strike that has been in force by the Molders' union has about terminated, having been in effect since May last. While the officials of the union are reluctant to give the details, they say the terms were satisfactory. The adjustment was in the hands of Organizer Eugene Murphy of the eastern conference board. In speaking of conditions in the New England district, he said: "Out of 53 cities where molders are organized, the employers in 47 have granted the eighth day and a minimum wage of $5.80 a day. In the five remaining cities, a minimum of $6.40 a day is established." Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 4—An iron molders' union has been formed here, which embraces all men of that trade. A molders' union was also organized at Goldsboro. The Whip leads the rest in the field of journalism. Can I the Reasons W Y B.

SAUNDE VANISHING AND COLD CREAMS Railway Shopmen Get National Pact Washington, Oct. 4.—While the steel trust and other anti-union employers are attempting to hold back the tides of time the United States railroad administration has signed a national agreement with the railway employees' department of the A. F. of L., in which hours of labor, working condition and rates of pay are provided for the 500,000 railroad shop men on all roads under government operation. The interested unions are the international organizations of machinists, boiler makers, sheet metal workers, blacksmiths, electrical workers and railway carmen. The agreement recognizes the right of the A. F. of L. affiliates to represent and negotiate for their respective groups. The following are some of the important principles established: Eight-hour day, with extra pay for overtime. Abolition of piece work, bonus and premium systems. Personal injury cases may be handled by committee or representatives in the same manner as grievances are handled. Rules for the handling of grievances through committees with railroad officials. Craft point seniority established and definite avenues of promotion outlined. Rates of pay retroactive to May 1, 1919, and a 30 days' clause for amending the agreement. Where a shop man is engaged outside the shop, he shall receive his standard pay. Formerly, if a machinist, for instance, was employed a signal maintenance he received a lesser rate, but the agreement provides that a machinist is a machinist regardless of where he does machinist work. Acting President Jewell of the railway shop employees' department states that this is the first national agreement ever secured by any labor organization or group of labor organizations in this country. He shows that all other agreements secured by trade unions have applied to divisions or sections of the country and that the present agreement is the result of a development of national federation, starting with craft unions in the various shops, then shop federations and then railroad system federations. These federations are now formed into four geographical divisions and are represented by the railroad employees' department of the A. F. a L.

"It has been said that most of the men taking part in this strike are of foreign birth and are not naturalized citizens," said President Gompers. "That may be, and no doubt is, true. The largest proportion of the steel corporation's employees are of foreign birth, but these men were brought here by the companies. "For years there was a systematic effort to bring in these workers from Europe. There was a systematic effort to eliminate Americans. They have a harvest to reap now." The trade union executive declared that the right of the employees to have some voice in determining the conditions under which they work is the paramount issue in the steel strike. Asked to define the issues in the controversy, President Gompers said: "The right to be heard is what the steel workers are asking above all else—the right to speak with their employers through their own representatives, to have some voice in determining conditions under which they work. "The workers' right of association has been denied—denied with all the steel corporation's power and influence—denied by brutal and unwarrantable means." EXCERPTS FROM THE A. F. OF L WEEKLY NEWS LETTER O. B. H. Falsehoods Sidney, New South Wales, Australia, Oct. 4—An official statement issued by the Australian Workers' union says: "Some time ago we challenged the official of the one big union to name any branch which had seceded, or had given the slightest indication that such a course would be followed," declares a statement. "No reply has been given. It is not the slightest use for the one big union officials to try to bolster up a weak case by misrepresentation of the position. Let us once again say that no branch of the A. W. U. had seceded, nor is there any likelihood of any such secession. The members of the A. W. U. are now in full possession of the tactics of the one big union and white ant methods employed; and are not likely to be misled by such misrepresentation.

The Railroad Coach and Car Cleaners' and Station Porters' Local 16351 are preparing for a public entertainment and reception October 22nd, at Unity Hall, 3140 Indiana Ave. Arrangements have also been made to stimulate interest in the organization by co-operating with various International Unions having the majority of their membership employed in railroad service. Unique plans have been out-lined for the campaign and the progressive element of all organizations involved can be relied upon to make the move a success. The United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Railway Shop Laborers has set aside one million dollars to be invested in cooperative stores in various centers for the benefit of its membership. People employed in this line of work who are not members of that organization would do well to file application at once, thereby becoming a partner in this gigantic move. Joseph Marteni, Organizer for the United Brotherhood Of Maintenance Of Way Employes and Railway Shop Laborers, made a flying trip to several of the round houses in the Southern district of Chicago in the interest of his organization, accompanied by John Rilev, American Federation Of Labor Organizer. DRUGS I. H.

Edmund Turner, 262 Kennedy St., Mobile, 'Ala., appears to be making things in his direction in interest of "The Whip."

Everywhere you looked you could see the steel workers' buttons. If Judge Elbert Gary of the steel corporation could have seen the striking contrast between the idle line of smoke stacks, the steel mill finance and the number of able bodied working men around the striking headquarters, he would certainly appreciate the fact that conditions are not as they were some years ago and would possibly testify differently before the Senate committee than he is alleged to have in the first day's hearing before that body. It is a huge joke when you compare some of the petty excuses that the capitalists are putting before the Senate committee for their likes and dis-likes for organization. They want to reserve the right to have a strong organization and at the same time compel the workers who produce everything, to come before them as individuals in attempting to better their conditions. They seem to be afraid of revolution but in their disregard for the workers' rights, they are rendering it possible for more Dead illing prescriptions he er of educated men ork. onage that he can exp e found elsewhere.

Martin, a Youngstown muchinist who has backed the leaders of the National Steel Workers' committee is like all other paid emissaries that "big business" interest's have used to destroy the investigation of the past. In his testimony, he mentioned the fact that few people would attempt to scuttle the American Federation Of Labor. From this testimony, the average working man would conclude that he is trying to get on the good side of capital for personal profit. I believe that since he has appeared before the Committee in the interest of the Steel Corporation, he would be justified in coming out boldly and admitting that he is a tool in the hands of the "Steel Magnets." The question regarding murder and the coroner's verdict in connection with the death of Mrs. Fannie Sellins, everybody connected with the corporation staff, will, if allowed to plead their own case, say that is a case where capital has committed the deed and concealed its hand. Who was directly responsible for the outrages committed in Homestead, Pa. some years ago, also in Ludlow, Colo., just recently? The answer to these two questions is, "The people who furnished the army guards and bought the machine guns under the guise of protecting their property when the real intention was to murder and intimidate the starving working men and women as they did." For such organized outrages as this, the guilty people are never brought to justice. Some striking picket who happens to have four or five small children will accost a strike breaker and try to show him the justice of his cause and an argument ensues, after which there would be a fight and the heavy hand of justice would immediately take the picket and declare that he was creating and inciting a riot. The pangs of hunger and the responsibility of providing for the needs of ones dependents, would not be sufficient to justify the court in discharging a man who was brought before the bar of justice for contending for his rights.

The trouble has been brewing for the last two months and it is alleged that the Negroes had formed secret organiza- tions for the purpose of vindicating their wrongs and demanding their rights. HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN. ‘The trouble began where the auto of Sheriff of Phillip's County was stopped in front of a colored Church and it is alleged that the sheriff and his followers made insulting remarks to church members, whereupon the colored people fired upon the sheriff, killing him and one of his deputies. ‘The whites hearing of this, massed and armed themselves and marched to the coloved district to wipe it off of the county map. The Negroes speedily sought ammunition and fired into the marching “posse”’, killing and wounding many. Incendiary Literature. It is saidsthat many white radicals had given the colored people inflam- matory literdittite and urged them to rise against, all whites, ‘This report is confounded and the literature was merely an appeal to the colored peo- ple to protest to white leaders against further cruelty, injustice and lynch- ing. The town of Elaine was the stage for war. Elaine has-a population of four-hundred and is chiefly supported by the Gerad Lumber Co. The ratio ‘of the population is about fifty whites to forty colored. The known dead are as follows: Clinton Lee, discharged soldier and member of the sheriff's posse. James A. Tappan, former lieutenant, also member of the pose, and seven un- identified negroes. Lee at first was yeported to have ben killed acci- dentally, but it was learned tonight he was shot in the back from a con siderable distance. ‘These deaths are in addition to that of W. A. Adkins, special agent of the Missouri Pacific railway, who was shot down from ambush when the automobile in which he was accom- panying Deputy Sheriff Charles Pratt and a negro trusty to Elaine, stopped near a negro church at Hoop Spur, two miles from that town for slight repairs.

That the situa tion should le controlled by sound thinking. Don't want intermerriage. It is claimed that whole body avowedly declared themselves against marriage between Negroes and whites One speaker said: “Any individual or society in or out of the state that advocates the intermingling of the races on terms of social equality ant intermarriage of races is doing erent harm to the Negro for wherever thi doctrine finds lodyement it stirs race prejudice in the south and threaten the well-being of both races.” ‘That social equality is not wanted by the Colored people. ‘The argument ad vaneed being that any claim toward equality by Negroes would stir up greater friction Condemned Force, No appeal to force by Negroes will be tolerated by these “leaders”.

Author of Sherlock Holmes Talks to Dead Son. Son Speaks from Spirit World. LONDON, Oct. 6.—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous author and exponent of spiritualism, described last night how he heard the voice of his son, dead for a year, He said: “I was in adarkened room with five men, my wife and an amateur medium, The medium was bound in six places with a string. My wife gave a cry. Then I heard my son's voice. H esaid: “Father.” “IT answered, ‘Yes, my son.’ He said, ‘Forgive me.’ “I knew to what he referred. We had only one difference in all his lifetime—his nonbelief in spiritual- ism. I reassured him. He said “Tam so happy.” “Then his voice faded. “I spoke to my son and heard his voice. I would be the most blasph mous liar if what I have told you is not true.” NORTH AMERICAN COAL CO. GOING OVE RTH ETOP. The North American Coal Co. is almost ready to close up the stoch sale.

The Y, M. C.

Strothers, International Dvsiulocr Batches Workan On September 30th, while coming: ‘from the District Council Meeting in company with Organizer W.

He then wanted to know how long I had been a representative and T told him that I had been represent: nye Iebor ever since I had been man enough to perform an honest day’s work and that I stood for more money, shorter hours and. better working: conditions About this time three more men (ome over from the other side of the seet one of whom T happened to he acquainted with, and wanted to know why L vas not working. 1 told them thet Twa hard at work, whereupon they said that they had not seen me on the killing floor for the past week hut hed seen me and another fellow two or three times in the yards and woncered what we were doing. I told jim that J felt it would be beneficial to others ay well as to me for me to come out and try to tell my people thout the benefits of belonging to a union. It would be a great blessing if you people would not be so slow bout joining the anion as the labor- ing world is united in every way pos: sible. You must wake up and come in the union, Can't you see different things that are happening in the world that prove the benefits of organiza- tion? You can not afford to kill any more time hy listening to adviee that you know to be wrong so far as your interest is concerned. You are older than Tand?it is your duty to tell me shout the benefits of the labor move- ment, A man should be ashamed to stend idly by and allow someone to take advantage of him when he has the power of reasoning in every situa- ‘on for himself. You should come out to meetings and hear what is be- ing said and done in your behalf and cease to pay attention to what some hons will tell you who can not afford te give you the proper advice because he is hein paid by thescompany to exploit and abuse you.

Roosevelt, Francis and Roberts to Speak. A feature of the pogram will be the opportunity to hear some of the strongest figures in the American Legion. Interest in the expansion of this organization and the necessity for enlisting the active support of all colored men of the states in this program are so great that the Legion heads are providing for the occasion the best possible speakers. Ex-soldiers of the Great War, the Spanish War and Grand Army of the Republic, the Sanitary Drill Corps of the Red Cross and various organizations will lead the parade which will precede the meting. A band composed of the best talent in the 365th Infantry Band, the 8th Regiment Band and the 803rd Pioneer Band will lead the parade and and provide music for the entire occasion. Patriotic Service League girls will form a part of the parade and will act as recruiting aides at the meeting. Dr. George C. Hall will preside at the meting. Other speakers will be heard on the program in addition to the three principal speakers. The meeting is not limited to ex-service me malone. Everybody is urged to attend and learn of the purposes and program of this organization that has recruited d amillion members since the close of the war and headed by men whose principles are so unquestioned as those of Roosevelt.

March, chief of staff of the U.S. army were said to have authorized the sending of troops to Elaine, Phillips county, the scene of today's race riots, the soldiers had not left Camp Pike at 11 o'clock tonight. It was reported that Major Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis, commander of Camp Pike, refused to send the troops without orders from the war department. Gov. Brough said, that Sec. Baker told him over the long distance telephone this afternoon that Major Sturgis had authority to send the troops if he considered this action advisable. The Gov. said that he received telegrams from Senators Robinson and Kirby, of Arkansas, quoting Gen. March to the same effect. Troops were finally allowed and they allayed further rouble. ON BOARD KING ALBERT'S TRAIN, OMAHA, Oct. 8.—King Albert is an early riser, and thus far is enjoying his journey across the continent. He was up and dressed, ready to stretch his legs, when the royal special made its first stop at Manilla, Iowa, this morning. His Majesty, dressed in blue civilian clothes, clambered off his private car and strolled along the platform at the station, where a small crowd had gathered. One farmer stepped up to the tall figure, who was enjoying a cigar and a walk before breakfast. "Can you tell me," he said, "whether the King is going to appear on the platform?" "No," His Majesty responded. "The King is a very lazy fellow and never rises before 10 o'clock." At Fremont, Neb., the train was stopped so the Duke of Brabant, heir apparent, could go into the engine cab, as his father did yesterday. Although he made no attempt to run the train, he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was reluctant to leave. KNOW CHICAGO GET BLACK'S BLUE BOOK.

MAY BE DONE BY PRESIDENT Plenty of Reasons Why the Memory of the President Who Made Possible the Great Work Should Be Thus Honored. By EDWARD B. C.LARK. Washington—Senator Calder of New York has introduced a bill to change the name of the Panama canal to the Roosevelt canal. It is said by friends of the measure that this might be called a bill for the obvious. Since Theodore Roosevelt died his action in connection with the recognition of the independence of Panama, thereby making the Panama canal possible, has been made the subject of close scrutiny. In Thayer's biography of John Hay, who was secretary of state at the time that Panama threw off the yoke of Colombia, there is a detailed account of how Theodore Roosevelt made the Panama canal possible. It is enough perhaps for the present generation to know that the strenuous president went at the Panama situation as he went at everything else. He found that the time was ripe to strike, and he struck quickly. It may be that such a course will be impossible, but there is the expression of hope in Washington, coming from men of different political parties, that President Wilson may find that he has the authority to change the name of the canal by executive order. It seems probable, however, that, the canal having been recognized through legislation as the Panama canal, a specific additional act of congress will be necessary to make the name change desired. Would Come Well From Wilson. It is held that if Mr. Wilson can do the thing by executive order, the sentiment in the matter would be heightened by the act of a Democratic president doing honor through an executive order to a life deed of a Republican predecessor. There is a precedent for doing this thing by executive order. Four years ago Woodrow Wilson issued an executive order changing the name of the Culebra cut to Galliard cut, in honor of the great engineer who completed the channel and gave up his life as a sacrifice to the labor. There was opposition in some places to changing the name of the cut. A good deal of it was selfish. Mr. Wilson looked at the thing from every possible point of view, and then he acted. There is an objection, and a natural one, to the naming of governmental possessions, canals, forts, ships and other things after living men. The Culebra cut did not become the Galliard cut until after Galliard's death. Theodore Roosevelt is dead, and one objection at least to the change of name vanishes. The canal was made possible by Roosevelt, and its rapid completion was the result of his thorough understanding of what finally should be done to do the work well and quickly. The country will remember the unhappy sequence of events which followed, one after another, as a result of the insistence of certain business interests and certain individuals that the canal should be constructed by civilians. William H. Taft was secretary of war. The construction of the canal in a general way was under his distant direction. Nobody has forgotten the scathing reprimand which the secretary gave to one great civilian engineer, charged with the work of army canal building, for quitting his job when duty demanded that he "stay put." Had It Built by Army Engineers. One day Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft got together, and the president said to the secretary: "There is one way to build this canal, and one way only. Put army officers on the job. They only cannot desert, but they won't desert. They will obey orders, obey them willingly, and there are no better engineers in the United States." Within forty-eight hours Lieut. Col. George W. Goethals and Majs. W. L. Silbert, H. C. Hodges and David DuB, Gallard were on the job. Col. William C. Gorgas of the medical department already had made the isthmus habitable. The army moved on Panama. Goethals, the chief engineer, was in reality the administrator of the work. Silbert built the Gatun locks, dam and spillway; Gaillard broke the backbone of the mountain range and completed the Culebra cut; Hodges designed the wonderful mechanism by which the locks are operated like clockwork; a civilian engineer, Williamson, under the direction of Goethals, completed the locks on the Pacific side and Goethals administered the whole work. The Panama canal was built after Roosevelt took the job away from civilisers and put it in the hands of order-obeying soldiers. The canal has withstood earthquake shocks. It is a monument to American enterprise and skill. One day the Gatun locks may be called the Silbert locks; the Pacific end of the canal may be called the Geethals gateway; the civilian Williamson's name may be remembered. These men are all living. Possibly before long the waterway will be called the Roosevelt canal. American Common Sense Will Recognize Soon the Value of Thrift Stamps BY THE WIFE OF THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE earth; we find now that a dollar is made up of a hundred cents, and that only by saving them can we save the dollar. To meet these conditions, to inoculate the habit of thrift necessary in the changing conditions of life, and to educate its citizens, the government has inaugurated the use of Thrift and War Savings stamps. They are a new thing in American life, but with our strong native common sense we shall soon recognize their value. I find in my own case that the Thrift stamps are particularly useful for my children. Their pocket money is divided into three parts: one, a very small one, for immediate expenditure, one to go toward the Christmas present to their adopted French orphan sister, and one for investment in Thrift stamps. For the little children the joy of purchasing the stamp and fixing it in place on its card is sufficient inducement. The older ones must sometimes be persuaded to sacrifice an immediate pleasure for a future need, but the conversion into War Savings stamps and the promised increase finally satisfy them. My little girl is saving toward a bicycle—not a high patriotic motive, but very appealing at seven. Indeed, War Savings stamps make excellent presents for very small children, to whom the stamp is quite as lovely as a gold piece, and will yield excellent returns when they are old enough to spend it. Of course War Savings stamps are a splendid investment for all people who can put aside only small sums. Their high rate of interest and ease of conversion make them a good investment. Everyone who buys a stamp becomes a shareholder in the government and is educated and interested to that degree. We should make a personal effort to see that buying is universal, if only for the reason that bolshevism cannot thrive among those who have a stake in the government. Let us show our appreciation of an opportunity for safe investment bringing good returns and aiding in the support of the government and the establishment of thrift. "One Common Slough of Despondency for the Purpose of Experiment" By W. G. LEE, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has no part or sympathy in any of the plans that pretend the hope of the world is only to be found in its destruction. The organization is 100 per cent American. It does not subscribe to any theory that proposes to throw everybody into one common slough of despondency for the purpose of experimenting in the hope that out of this general mental and physical misery an average may come that will bring about a general better condition of affairs for a majority of the people. We stand for no such doctrine of destruction and ruin; we believe in the government, and stand as 100 per cent Americans ready to defend our principles and our faith. As proof of the brotherhood's loyalty and Americanism 16,000 members of the organization took their places willingly in the ranks, and almost two hundred are "sleeping in France." The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has neither part nor purpose in any scheme that proposes to destroy this government or take from any citizen either privilege or property that properly belongs to him; we have no sympathy with any plan that finds its basic purpose in the destruction of government or the organized forms of law and order; we do not subscribe to any propaganda that proposes a policy of destruction to find in a common basis of misery its expected hopes for reconstruction. Today, for the first time in the history of the world, victorious nations seek to create a peace based on justice rather than on greed. That ideal of that peace was nourished in America. It sprang from the soil of a nation conceived in human liberty. It seeks to banish forever years of horror such as blanched the cheeks of civilization from 1914 to 1918. It may succeed, it may fail; but it marks a turning point in the ethics and conscience of the world. And yet, even as this great call from America is debated at the peace conference, in the schoolhouses of America, according to charges made by prominent educators, wolves in sheep's clothing are carrying on a vicious propaganda to inoculate the American boy with the virus of a diluted anarchy. What a ghastly calamity if our own boys, born to a heritage of American freedom, absorb the poison that whispers that American idealism is nothing but a meaningless phrase and that anarchy and murder are to be preferred to law and order. As against the sinister propaganda of anarchy cunningly urged on him by men who have won his confidence by reason of the close association of the classroom, give the boy the book that upholds the American ideal of fair play and honor. Give him the book that spells life to him in terms of decency and right living. Give him the book that tells him the glorious truth that his land is blest above all lands of the earth. Help him to cultivate in his soul an eternal love of the true and the clean. Make his soul a temple, and no crack-brained fanatic will ever succeed in transforming it into a sewer. C. MARIE R. TRELL 9 Lessons have crowded thick and fast on Americans in the last five years. We have all learned something, some a great deal, others only a little, but the lessons which touched the highest and the lowest were the increased cost of commodities and the consequently diminished purchasing power of the dollar. In this fortuneaie land of ours we have thought that food, like air, was a natural possession; we awake to find half the world starving and to realize the necessity of careful buying on our part for years to come. We have spent money more freely than any nation on By WILLIAM HEYLIGER, Writer of Boys' Books Colored Men Who Answered Call of the Colors Are Entitled to Full Membership. PLANS ARE MADE PUBLIC. Individual Posts Have Choice of Plans to Be Adopted. National Policy Liberal. Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 6, 1919. —Ther has been considerable speculation on the part of colored service men throughout the country concerning their status in the American Legion. Most especially has this been true in southern states, where a disposition has been shown by heads of Posts not to give to colored men the full privileges of membership in the body. In order to make clear the policy of the American Legion with respect to Negro vetrans of the great war who are eleigible to membership, the following instructions isued to all state organizations were made public today at national headquarters, 19 W. 44th St., New York City, by Chairman Henry D. Lindsley: "Requests for a statement of the methods by which colored men eligible for membership in the American Legion may be, included therein are constantly coming to the national executive committee of the legion. The national executive committee believes this matter will be finally determined at the national convention in November, but that it is highly desirable, in the meantime, that the various state organizations determine what methods will reflect the wishes of the membership of the American Legion in such states. RIGHTS MADE CLEAR The right of negroes to join the American Legion is clearly determined in the constitution alotted at St. Louis, and will be generally recognized as the fundamental right of all who served our country as defined by our constitution. The problem is to permit this membership within the several states in accordance with the wishes of the members of the legion in cush states. "On behalf of the national executive committee, I wish to bring to your attention, and to ask that you so inform the various posts within your state, the methods which may carry out the purpose desired: "A local post may be composed exclusively of white men, or exclusively of colored men, or part white men and part colored men, as the local post may determine with the approval of the state organization. "With the composition of the local post determined, in one of the ways stated, there are two methods of handling the next step, and it is the desire of the national executive committee that you ascertain and advise this committee that method which in your state will represent the wishes of the members of the legion. "Local posts composed of colored men may be under the state organization, in which event such post would be represented in the convention of such state organization in accordance with the national and state constitutions of the legion. If this should not be desired by the members of the legion in the state involved, then it would be necessary for the posts having colored membership to have a separate state organization and such separate state organizations would have representation in the national convention. "It is the belief of the national executive committee that the first method proposed is the best, but until action is taken otherwise at the national convention in November, the second may be followed where desired." EARNEST-NELSON WEDDING (By Z. L. Breedlove) Miss Carrie Mae Earnest and Mr. Cecil D. Nelson were united in wedlock Wednesday evening at eight o'clock at the bride's home 407 East Park Avenue, by Rev.

The bride was dressed in white satin and carried a bouquet of bachelor buttons and roses. A large number attended. They received many beautiful and costly presents. They went to housekeeping at 607 North Poplar. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 8.—According to a dispatch from Winchester, Ark., Robert L. Hill, colored, alleged president of the colored organization which caused the riots in Phillips County, has fled into Louisiana. Bloodhounds sent to Winchester from the state convict farm were returned to the farm today. Principles Declared at American Freedom Convention BROTHERHOOD SLEEPING CAR PORTERS PROTECTIVE UNION 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: Democracy no longer exists in the United States. One by one, the rights of a free people have been stripped fro mus until our government is a republic in name only. Under the alleged necessities of war: (1) A conscription system has been fastened upon this country and it is the intention of the junkers of the war department, the incompetents in Congress and our real rulers in Wall Street that this conscription system shall be a permanent institution and a vital part of the new and strange "Americanism" that is now agitated by the labor-fighting employers and the prostitute press they control. (2) The right of free speech and the expression of minority opinion, have been abrogated. A reign of terror has been established, under the joint auspices of an Attorney-General whose pride is in the ruthlessness of his application of the iron heel to opponents of the private owners of industry, and a postmaster-general whose conceptions of human liberty are those of a chattel slave owner. (3) The right of a free press was swept away, and second class mailing privileges were used by the post office department weapons to suppress, in newspapers and other publications, criticism of the president of the United States and his administration. Other means were devised of loading hardship after hardship on newspapers that dared express disapproval of the course of the government and big business. These included such methods as interference with their incoming and outgoing mail, dragging their editors and business managers before inquisitors who pried into their subscription lists and other business affairs, and (in the case of foreign language papers) causing them to undertake the expense of filing English translations of their issues with the government. It is now even proposed to order certain of these foreign language newspapers to publish in English exclusively or not at all. This means their suppression. (4) The right of freedom of conscience or religious belief that formed the mainspring of the movement of early settlers to the colonies which preceded this government — was thrown into the scrap heap by the sword-rattling gentlemen who directed the preparations for and conduct of our participation in the war. (5) Under the terms of new alliances made by our government with imperialist foreign states, the right of asylum for the oppressed of other lands (one of the most sacred of the American doctrines) has been uprooted from American soil. At the behest of Great Britain, political refugees from India, have been imprisoned in our penitentiaries, are now under order to be deported to India, where British officers will execute them upon their arrival. Large numbers of foreign born persons who have come to this country from many lands are being deported because of their activity in organizing workers into labor unions, participating in strikes or for political activity against the continued domination of our government by the private owners of industry. Furthermore, during the war it was brought forcibly to our attention that there exists in our army a court martial system that is a relic of past centuries—more Prusian than that of Prussia.

The vicious and un-American espionage act, upon the constitutionality of which the Supreme Court has not yet had the courage to pass, is still in force on the technical ground that the was is not yet ended. A new and more vicious peace-time espionage act is contemplated, and drafts of such an act are now pending before Congress. The various states, not to be outdone in the orgy of repression that began during the war, have passed sundry measures, ranging from so-called criminal syndicalist laws to search and seizure and state constabulary acts. All of these are designed to suppress the activity of groups of individuals who oppose exploitation by the private owners of industry whether they function through labor unions, political organizations, newspapers or from the pulpit or platform In Pennsylvania, the state authorities invoked an act passed in 1794 to forbid the organizers of the American Federation of Labor from holding meetings or making speeches to organize the workers in the steel industry. This circumstance, more than any other, proves conclusively that the present reign of terror in the United States is not directed at radicals or revolutionaries, except as a first step. As soon as a background of public opinion is established, the government, doing the bidding of Wall street, is ready to assist in the disruption of the labor movement and any other force that interpose itself between the private owners of industry and the swollen profits they are reaching out for. As a result of these unconstitutional and un-American laws and practices, hundreds of citizens are in the federal and state prisons of the United States charged with offenses that our fore-fathers never dreamed would be considered offenses in this country. For these political, industrial, religious and military "offenses" they have had inflicted upon their prison terms as long as fifty years. Not only is this true, but these prisoners have been so inhumally treated while in our prisons, that many have died and others have lost their reason. Not one of them is a person of great wealth or power. All are workers, or those who have cast their lot with the struggle of the workers. If this situation is permitted to continue in the United States, no one will be safe except the exploiters of industry. So long as Tom Mooney is in prison no labor union organizer will be secure in exercising the right peacefully to induce workers to join unions. Solong as Eugene V. Debs is in the penitentiary, no person will be safe to exercise the right to express disapproval of the actions or utterances of men in power in the government or in industry. So long as Victor L. Berger is deprived of his seat in Congress and United States have no assurance that faces imprisonment, the people of the men they will elect to legislative councils to undo the tyranny that has been imposed upon us, will be permitted to take their seats. So long as the conscientious objectors to conscripted military service are within the walls of confinement, no person can hold his conscientious scruples or his religious beliefs to be his private affair, nor will he be se- cure in his liberty to follow the dictates of his conscience. So long as the vicious, repressive laws denying free speech, free press, and free assemblage in the United States, are on the books, so long as the steel trust barons are permitted to forbid steel workers peacefully to assemble for organization into unions, so long as there is danger of a settled policy of conscription for military service; so long as our Prussian court martial system exists—so long will democracy continue to be dead in the United States and our government will be a republic only in name Therefore the American Freedom Convention, (consisting of 300 delegates authorized and accredited to represent organizations comprising more than 1,500,00 in membership) assembled at Chicago, September 25-28, 1919, for the purpose of devising ways and means for the re-establishment and maintenance of American political and civil rights—free speech, free press and free assemblage, and for the immediate release of all persons prosecuted o r prison for political opinions, industrial activities or religious beliefs, dedicates itself to conduct a vigorous propaganda to awaken the labor movement, those political parties not dominated by the private owners of industry, civic and religious organizations interested in the preservation of human freedom, and other groups and individuals, to the manner in which American Freedom has been destroyed and the terrible significance of that fact for every liberty loving person. The American Freedom Convention further pledges itself to urge in this propaganda the utter futility of merely petitioning Congress or passing resolutions or begging those who should be servants of the people to be loyal to the people, when their bread and butter depends upon their betraying the people in favor of the private owners of industry. We urge in addition that all elements of the population who love freedom proceed with all possible speed to organize in such a way that, if the usurpers of tyrannical power do not hed the will of the people, effective means may be invoked to compel them to do so. In particular we recommend to all delegates who represent labor unions, to work for the united action of all labor that the power of solidarity may insure victory in this fight for freedom. The American Freedom Convention further urges all constituent organizations to exert every possibility in financial, moral and active support of this fight for liberty and help to interest other organizations to the end that the second American Freedom Convention when held next year, may be of such magnitude as to be a warning to the tyrants in authority of its growing power, determination and intolerance of delay.

Gardner Sullivan, the Thomas H. Ince writer, is responsible for a story titled "The Woman in the Suitcase" assigned to Enid Bennett for her next Faramount-Artercraft production. If Miss Bennett is to be "the woman" it is to be hoped they don't expect to cram her into a standard size suitcase. If so, here's a good chance for medicine makers—Miss Bennett may be ready after the experience to recommend various brands of limnimbs, etc. Fred Niblo, known to the "Only Their Husbands" Club on the coast as Mr. Enid Bennett, will again direct his charming wife. --- For the last Geraldine Farrar picture to be made by Goldwyn before the diva's return to grand opera Bertram Grassby has been choosen as the leading man. Thus the former Broadway actor is another step farther away from a return to the New York speaking stage, which he graced for seven years. Frank G. Hall, president of Hallmark Picture Corporation, has closed a contract with Nancibelle W. Grant, president of British-American Picture Finance Corporation, to release through the Hallmark Corporation a series of twelve special productions beginning October 1, and one each month thereafter. The pictures to be acquired by the British-American company will be selected from the best independent productions offered on the market for the coming year and will be purchased outright for cash, the world rights to be controlled by British-American. These pictures will be released to the exhibitor on a rental based on the merit of each production. --- D. W. Griffith, it is reported, is now backed by a wealthy eastern sportsman Robert Smathers, and will not only build a studio near New York, but will go to Europe to make another of his big impressive pictures. "The Big Four", of the screen—Pickford, Griffith, Chaplin and Fairbanks—have secured Griffith's most recent great work, "Broken Blossoms," for exhibition throughout the country. --- Gladys Brockwell has been divorced from her husband, Harry J. Edwards, a director. She lived with him only three days and then discovered that she had not received her final decree of separation from Robert Broadwell her first husband. Henry King says that H. B. Warner is the most understanding and sympathetic star he has ever directed and that is sincere praise indeed. King has an excellent supporting cast, with Seena Owen playing opposite Mr. Warner. Louis Joseph Vance's popular melodramatic novel, "The Bandbox" is announced by the Hodkinson organization, its distributors, as available for American pre-release engagements for the first week in October. This fast melodrama of a vanishing pearl necklace, with scenes laid in London, on shipboard and in metropolitan New York, is the first Doris Kenyon starring vehicle to be completed by Deitrich-Beck, Inc. Rose Shuisinger is authority for the statement that Marion Davies is already preparing for Winter, said preparation consisting of a fur cape, for which she paid the tidy sum of $19,500. Well, we will say, at that price Marion ought to be able to keep warm. The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE A picturization of "The Right of Way," the novel that won for Sir Gilbert Parker his knighthood, a story of the Canadian Northwest woods, will be the next starring vehicle for Bert Lytell. Screen Classics, Inc., will produce it and Metro Pictures Corporation will distribute it as one of the recently inaugurated series of "fewer and better" pictures, which are taking exhibitors by storm throughout the country. "The Right of Way" appeared in 1901, from the publishing firm of Harper & Bros., and so great was the reception of it both here and in England that the author, Gilbert Parker, was made Sir Gilbert Parker by proclamation of the King of England. A little more than a decade ago the novel was dramatized and presented on the speaking stage with Guy Standing in the leading role of "Beauty" Steele, which Mr. Lytell will portray in film version. Thirsty followers of Bacchus were permitted to look upon the wine for the last few days at the Lasky Studio without, however, doing more than that toward slaking their thirst. Twenty-five thousand dollars worth of the finest wines were on exhibit there as part of the action of "Why Change Your Wife?" the current Cecil B. de Mille production. "Why Change Your Wife?" is ultramodern in thought, action and stage settings. Some highly interesting bits of action center around the rathskeller, which the owner of the house has had constructed in his own home since the memorable July 1. This scene required many, many bottles with the seals unbroken, by way of stage properties. COLORED MUSICIAN WINS FRENCH SCHOLARSHIP First American and Only to Win 1st Place William H. Vodery, the colored composer and instrumental arranger who organized the 807th Infantry Band, that afterwards became known as the Headquarters Band in France, is leaving for France October 15, where will enter the French High School of Musical Studies, in the Palace of Fontainebleau. Vodery has received a free two-year scholarship at this musical school, he having the distinction of being the only American musician-composer to ever win a scholarship from this French musical institution. Last August, while stationed at Chaumont, France, with his band, Vodery took the examination in competition with 120 other musicians. Forty of this number passed with sufficient percentages to entitle them to take the final examination, Vodery being among the forty. And in the final examination he not only came out first, but he also led with an unprecedented average of 98, a mark that was acclaimed by musical scholars throughout France. His composition for the occasion was a descriptive tone poem entitled "Two Months in the Old Mill." Vodery has orchestrated the music for some of the foremost musical shows. COMEDIANS MAKING HIT IN NEW YORK, PROCTER 125 ST., N. Y. Two colored men using extra blacking. After the "Rosary" is heard off-stage, the drop rises on two "coons" shooting craps. The openings, while, old, is done well and won them immediate favor. After some patter, a song by the pair is offered. The men have good voices which they use to better advantage by leaving out the throaty rumble which they put into most of their singing. More patter, a song and dance completes offering. $ ^{a} $ The patter needs improvement in spots, but the offering will do for the three-a-day. G. J. H. DIXIE DUO, A SCREEN IN NEW OYST-ORK STAT THEATRE THE Dixie Duo, Sissie and Blake, with a classy song and piano offering. These boys, two clever colored entertainers, have the goods, and send them over the footlights in regular big time style. They offer a number of Dixie and "Blues" melodies, in a manner peculiarly their own. The songs are catchy, and of the lasting impression kind. The best number in the act, however, is the one in which Lieut.Sissie depicts the taking of a patrol across "No Man's Land." This earned the first of their three encores. They have a sure fire applause and encore getter. MERIT IN NEGRO PLAY Show at Albaugh's Written, Produced and Acted by Colored People Abounds in Keen Humor—Songs are Original and Are Rendered with Excellent Voices. Baltimore Evening Sun. A troupe of Negro artists staging a musical comedy and playing to their own people is no novelty to the theatrical world. But there is playing this week at Albaugh's Theatre a musical comedy written, staged, produced and acted by colored actors and actresses, who display unusual talent. The troupe, known as the Smarter Set Company, is offering a two-act musical comedy entitled "The Children of the Sun," which is clever, unusually well composed with bright lines and which brings out much of the rich humor, characteristics of the Negro and at the same time has a reflection of racial pride. And with this unusual company, which seems to be making a struggle to lift the Negro into a place in the higher theatrical sun, is Salem Tutt Whitney, a formidable rival of Bert Williams, who might well be pleasing an exclusively white audience of Broadway with a big variety hit. He has all the assets and with it the intelligence Frisco Still Jazzing Frisco and his Jazz band found the late spot and the hot night a combination too difficult to successfully contend with. The snap and vim of the act seem to have disappeared and it is now but mildy entertaining. While the Jazz was at its height Frisco, once around, was a sensation, but the Jazz is going and Frisco with it. W. V. SUTHERLAND SISTER DEAD Sarah Sutherland, the fourth of the famous Seven Sutherland Sisters, who for many years were features of circuses because of their extraordinary long hair, died last week at her home outside of Newfane, N. Y. She was seventy-three years of age and is survived by three sisters, Grace, Dora and Mary. THEDA BARA'S REAL NAME. Theda Bara started her career in stock in Cleveland, Ohio. Her name, prior to her legally changing it, was Theodosia Goodwin. Mae Murray was a Ziegfeld girl once. Yes, she is the original Brinkley girl. You are right; she has been starred in pictures. LAUDER TROOP TO TOUR AFRICA NEW ZEALAND ALSO INCLUDED Tentative plans were arranged here this week which will probably result in Sir Harry Lauder and his vaudeville troupe making a tour of South Africa and New Zealand. The tour will probably begin early in October following Sir Harry's tour in this country, which began last May and is scheduled to close about the middle of next month. J. and N. Tait, under whose direction Lauder is making his present Antipodean tour, have announced that the unprecedented financial success that has attended the present tour led them to arrange its continuance in South Africa and New Zealand. Sir Harry opened here in Melbourne last May. From here he went to Adelaide and early this month began an engagement there, at the close of which his Antipodean tour will come to an end. Since the beginning of his tour in this country, Lauder has played to capacity business, his show being considered the best vaudeville entertainment that Australia has witnessed in years. Muriel Window, the American singing comedienne whom Sir Harry brought with him to head his variety aggregation, has proved to be one of the features of the show. AMORITA AN EASTERN STAR Chicago, Sept. 11.—Mrs. Baba Delgarian, professionally known as Amorita, made a special trip to Chicago last week in order to be initiated into the Eastern Star. The ceremony took place Friday evening and Mrs. Delgarian is now a member of the Garfield Chapter. Quite a number of he friends belonging to the various chapter in the city were on hand to help in the work. Mrs. Delgarian spent several days shopping and left Saturday to join the World at Home Shows in time ville.

Homer Tutt, also a clever actor of the smarter type, he wrote the musical comedy being presented and in it he displayed a bit of genius. Appeal to Both Blacks and Whites "The Children of the Sun" is undoubtedly intended to make both whites and blacks laugh and think. The producers might be accused of putting out racial propaganda, for it is based upon a book written by a well-known Negro archaeologist, who traveled and studied extensively to further his theory of tracing black, yellow and Oriental races back to the ancient Ethiopian race, classifying them all as "Children of the Sun." Therefore, while such a plot, even though it is hung together lightly with song and dance and travesty, is not offensive to the white race it may not please the proud East Indian rajah, a Japanese diplomat or statesman, a Persian philosopher, an COLORED MOVIE STAR Noble Johnson is still starring with Eddie Polo in their great serials. Johnson is a fair actor and while given many heavy parts, is never shown to be at a disadvantage. Johnson's light complexion fools many people who follow the screen light, but he is colored all right, and we trust he some day will be allowed to play a stellar role. Censor Still Cleaning Up Shows MANY MORE CHANGES ORDERED The censors of The American Burlesque Circuit are still at work whipping the shows on their wheel into shape. They seem to be making a determined effort to place all companies in top notch shape. Last week they ordered sweeping changes in several shows. This week the blue penciling continued, with the following results: "Round the Town."—Owned by Stouse and Franklyn. Changes require two new principals in cast. Show excellent otherwise. "Girls, Girls, Girls."—Changes require all principals except prima donna and soubrette, to be changed at once. "Cracker Jacks."—Owned by Ed. Rush.—Changes require two changes in principals, two new sets of scenery and four new changes of wardrobe. "Sport Girls."—Owned by Sam Howe. Changes require two principals to be replaced, two new sets of scenery and several borders to be replaced. Also two new sets of costumes to be provided. The changes ordered last week have been made and the censors subsequently have put their O. K. on the shows. Among those ordered changed were, "The Tempters," "Social Follies," and "Jazz Babies." Several managers have asked the censors for clemency, stating that they have employed a good many principals who have never worked in burlesque before and say the committee should give them time to become broken in. The following shows have been passed as being first class: "Follies of Pleasure," owned by Rube Bernstein; "Monte Carlo Girls," owned by Tom Sullivan; "Beauty Review," owned by Sam Levey; "Hello Frenchy," owned by Thomas Beatty; "Pat White's Own Show," "Sweet Sweetie Girls," owned by Chas. M. Baker, and "Ed. Hayes and his Own Show," owned by Dave Kraus. Egyptian prince or an Abyssinian king. It, nevertheless, would have a tendency to boost racial pride among the Negroes and allay any desire on their part to change their color. The first scene brings out plantation songs along the banks of the old Suanee river, with Dixie wit and suggestions of the rich, old Virginia background. Songs Unusually Good Songs Unlittually Good There are some unusually good songs and the chorus girls and men have well-trained voices. In fact, Ed. Tolliver, Carrie King and Virginia Wheeler have cultivated voices and sing without trace of the dialect. "Travelin', We'e Travelin'," "Dear Old Dixie Home," "Come and Dance With Me," and "Something About You I Like" are all songs that have a few borrowed strains in them and are purely racial inspirations. The dances were good. A section of the house was given over to white people and there were several there. The Birth of the Shimmy Several tales have been cast afloat as to the origin of the new cabaret dance craze, the shimmy. It is claimed that the shimmy was originated by colored actors and was a sequel to "Walking the Dog." As a matter of fact, the shimmy was originated by a mediocre white actor who caught his idea from a dog shaking himself after being thrown in the water. Colored people have perfected and popularized it, however. Salome dances, or in fact, any of the Eastern dances are somewhat similar to the shimmy in spots. Suffice it to say, the shimmy is no art dance. RUCKER AND WINIFRED AT THE RIALTO Rucker and Winifred are a scream at the Rialto. The act is very original and is a laugh getter and a side splitter. Winifred has played the part of the chinaman so long, that he, like Louis Morrison, who played the part of the "Devil" in Faust so long, that he thought at times, he was the old fellow, that he thinks himself a Chinaman at times. Rucker's mouth is the largest thing in vaudeville, except the bass fiddle. The act, while containing no display of rare ability or uniqueness, is well worth seeing. The songs were old but catchy. It is regretted that our stars on the big circuit do not vary their acts just a trifle from season to season. Probably it is hard to get new hits, still the old Chinaman and Negro comedy could be varied into a new act that would add to the popularity of the team. If our artists are going to stay on the time, they must give us big stuff or else, they will remain as 2nd raters in the "two and three a day houses." Y. M. C. A. IN MEMBERSHIP DRIVE From October 10th to 20th the Chicago Y. M. C. A. will carry on its annual membership campaign. The Wabash Avenue Department is out for 2000 members. Dr. W. A. Blackwell of Walters A. M. E. Zion Church will head up the campaign and has some strong teams behind him. The "Y" was of much service during the riots, serving as a pay station for 3900 persons and as a feeding station, reaching 7114 individuals. The Y. M. C. A. deserves the support of the community for it is not only a home for men away from home but a wholesome congregating place for all men and boys.

We understand the film syndicates will not supply the race promoters with first class films if they are in competition with the Jewish movie magnates. This evil can be met by big business. A certain amount of dollars will move the syndicate and if the dollars wont work, we can refuse our patronage and boycott the Jews. We must make the South Side safe for colored business democracy. Ninety-nine per cent of the colored people are movie fans. The kiddies all go. We are planning to launch a big movie house. We want co-operation from all. We also realize that it is possible to reap a small fortune within the race and create a greater solidarity in the business world, by getting our people to patroinize our business.

Franklin, local secretary of the colored branch of the War Camp Community Service, to be held Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock, in the Douglass School, for the purpose of further organizing the colored branch of the American Legion in this city. There are about two hundred colored veterans in Huntington and vicinity. This post is expected to be one of the best for the colored soldiers in the nire state. Already fifty names are signed to the charter list, and more will be received between now and Tuesday night, after which application will be made to Jackson Arnold, temporary state chairman in Charleston, for a charter. At the Tuesday night meting it is expected tha tname will be selected for the local post and details completed to get it in working order. While none of the colored soldiers of Huntington lost their lives on the battlefields, thre died while in the service. Two died in camps in this country and one died shortly after reaching New York, coming from the other side. Up to this time there are four colored posts now organized in West Virginia. They are: No. 12, North Fork and Keystone; No. 21, Chirleston; No. 37, Fairmont, and No. 38, Clarksburg. Pending the arrival of the charter the local post will go ahead with the organization Tuesday, cording to Dr. Franklin.

A LITANY TO AMERICA AGAIN The Gloom gathers, the clouds hangs heavy, the lightning flashes, the pent up thunder roars, the earth quivers and men race to and from hiding from human wrath and others vie their fury on the weaker. Insanity and mono-momania drives the ship of State thru the storm of hate. The great pilot lies sick and rest worn. The pirates of American institutions are seizing the spoil and the Black flag with skull and bones hangs in the Capitol cities. The tempest of human emotion seethes and froths and men moan while women and children sob. Where is the strong arm that will fling a sparkling rainbow on the black bosom of the great disorder? Where is the light that guides the feet of men? Where is the balm of Gliad? Where is the Spring of eternal hope? We ask and beseech the Savior of civilization, the Savior of American institutions to take up his mantle and heed the Macedonian cry: Come over and help us. The pregnant weeks of murder and lynchings are fresh in our minds. The newspapers, the voices of humanity, pierce our ears and harrow up our souls with the fearful crimes of American democracy. The pages of American history are besmirched by the crimes of 1919, a reincarnation of Nero's garden flares up and makes barbarous the ideals of twentieth century civilization. The appeals to the human conscience have been deriled and scoffed. All appeals to reason are received untimely. The appeal to force have been beatened down with bloody reprisals and unparalleled torture. The heart of America seem unresponsive. The oracles and ventricles of the one great organ pumps into the American arteries the poisonous baccilli of color prejudice, racial hatred and industrial dissatisfaction. We have prayed and our prayers seem to miscarry, we have sung and our sungs have been mocked by charred bodys turned up to the morning stars. We ask in the words of the great Nazarene at the moment of Supreme sacrifice. My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken us. In the land that gave birth to the idea of Universal and eternal democracy, and the land that was conceived in the womb of a more perfect union. We find that the dusky sons and daughters of a great race of people are being tortured and murdered and America stands by and declares that State government must settle these bloody issues. The sovereignty of separate States was the fundamental idea of constitutional government. The sovereignty of separate States was the cause of the Civil War. The sovereignty of separate State has been subjected to the inter-state welfare. The sovereign States have been made the hot beds of race wars and labor skirmishes. The labor disorder has threatened the sovereignity of the whole American government. The race wars have already torn and destroyed the fabric of American virtue into threads of immorality. The sovereignity of the separate States has failed in handling the gigantic and preponderous issues to such extent, that unless Congress ceases its squibbling and filibustering over the ideology of institutions, the ship of State will be wrecked and a new league of States must be formed and a new peace treaty signed some where in America to save the destiny of unborn generations. In the great wars of Labor and Capital and in the great massacre of the two races that has happened recently, State governments have proven their inability to meet the situation. The reason being the prejudice and hatred of the Governors and officials, and the fact the State Militia cared not for military discipline and is filled with revolutionary ideas. At the eleventh hour martial law is declared. Gen. Wood at Omaha and Gary. State government supreme in its own sphere has failed to cope with the Labor wars and the race problems. The Cosmopolitan Congress of America must put aside factional feeling and racial consciousness and use "force unlimited" in settling these great issues. Political interests are secondary. The future of America is at stake. The moment that Congress will decide that lynching and labor injustices will not be tolerated and American starvation will not be permitted, the great issues will be palliated. The American Colored people in gasping breath with the workers and laborers are praying to Congress for justice and fair play. We have drifted into semi-anarchy. Anarchy must be destroyed. American institutions can be saved only by the Congress of the United States. THE NEGRO AND THE UNION The labor disorders in Gary and Arkansas and other centralized localities are reaching the crucial point. The battles between the captains of finance and the proletariat are raging. Many interests are involved. The idea of shorter hours and higher pay coupled with the desire to cut down the overhead cost of living, that the producers add on after each concession is made to consumers has thrown the United States into an embroglio that threatens to destroy the system of government and to crown anarchy as the King. THE NEGRO USUAL IS THE PIVOT AND UPON HIS DECISION THE SITUATION WILL BE DETERMINED. THE VACUUM IN THE LABOR WORLD IS EXPANDING, THE FOREIGNERS ARE STILL LEAVING. THE LABOR OF THE BLACK IS INDISPENSABLE, AMERICA MUST SURVIVE, THE GREAT WHEELS OF INDUSTRY MUST TURN, THE HARVEST MUST BE GLEANED AND HE NEGRO MUST TURN THE WHEELS AND GLEAN THE HARVEST. LABOR MUST FEED THE MOUTHS OF AMERICA. LABOR MUST SHOULDER THE BURNT AMERICAN HARDSHIPS, BUT CAPITAL MUST SHARE WITH LABOR IN THE RETURNS. The Labor Leaders realize that Negroes must be allied with them in the great fight for amicable relations and fair play with capital. The Labor leaders are controlling the economic destiny of this country. The Labor leaders have declared themselves opposed to autocratic methods in government. They have declared themseleves in favor of self-determination by small nations and class consciousness in labor groups. The Negroes must be allowed to be self determining and class consciousness must not be crushed out. In the midst of diversified forces, in the midst of illusory promises, in the midst of changing and shifting racial outbursts: The Negro with his face to the east and his back to the wall, with his eyes to the hills, is again asking: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? In an earlier Editorial, we in our analysis with careful forebodings and forced fears, suggested that the Negro meditate and split his economic ticket. Join all unions and Labor movements where our interests could be best subserved and trust no one organization for industrial Emancipation. We maintain that the economic background of America, the undercurrent of intra-National dissatisfaction and the reaction of wartime measures will not permit of definite diagnosis. The future impenetrable and the judgment must be careful and tactful. THE NEGRO MUST BE ALLOWED TO DETERMINE HIS OWN INDUSTRIAL STATUS. HE CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR OR INTO THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD OR INTO HIS OWN INSTITUTIONS. HE MUST BE ALLOWED SELF DETERMINATION. The laboring classes have the Constitutional and inchoate right to strike it is compatible and consonant with the idea of freedom and Liberty. The Negro in the same light is not under obligation to strike. If it is not to his advantage to strike. He should be allowed to follow his own desires. In Gary, the Negroes who refused to join the Steel Workers in their great strike were made the target of the union strikers animosity. These Negroes were shot at and were beaten and it seemed that the Negroe himself was picked out because he above all should follow in the line of the strikers. We advocate and we assert that it is to the Negroes decided advantage to join the American Federation of Labor where it will best survive his ends. The different classes and industries present different issues and therefore different problems. Chicago and Gary's problem is different from Omaha's, Arkansas' or Georgia's. In Chicago it is to the Negro's advantage to join the Stockyard Union and in Gary it is far better that he joins the steel workers. We advise it. NEVERTHELESS LABOR MUST USE RATIONAL METHODS. THE NEGRO CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN. HE MUST BE MET THRU CONSTRUCTIVE REASONING AND HUMAN TREATMENT. In the labor world we trust that the Negro will be allowed self-determination and his decision in the end will subserve Labor ends. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. THE MOB UNLASHED. Like a span of horses, once they grip the bits between their teeth, the American mob is running wild throughout the country. Last week and this Negroes were taken out of the hands of the law and the courts and lynched. In Alabama, three were taken from officers on the highway; in Jacksonville, the mob went into the jail and took two out and lynched them. (1 rumor says the men were dead before they left their cells); In Omaha, the jail was set on fire, the sheriff beaten, the mayor strung up until unconscious. and a Negro taken and lynched. Like wild fire, the mob spirit is spreading over the land, devouring and consuming the civilization. The fake cry of "Assault" only, is necessary to defend and justify. Governors, Senators and Congressmen make this pretext a justification for lawlessness and lynching. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, cries out in the United States Congress that, "protectoin to womanhood is higher than any law, human or divine," and further that he (in spite of his oath) would deliver up a victim to the mob. U. S. Senator Borah, of Idaho, replies to the champion of lawlessness. "If lynchings were confined, the Idaho Senator contended, to those incidents mentioned by the Senator from Mississippi, the human race might be disposed to pass them by on that reason. "But the disease spreads, and men are lynched for the most trivial causes," he added "The record shows 218 Negroes lost their lives in the first year of the war, a time when Negro boys were giving their lives to the republic and displaying great heroism overseas. There was intimation that they had been guilty of the particular crime in which men seek to justify lynching. "I want to say, considering the ultimate welfare of the human family there can be no justification for the lynching of any persons, and the man who preaches it is sowing the wind that reaps the whirlwind, no matter, how black the skin of the victim may be. If the republic does not protect the lives of its people the seeds are planted that ultimately will lead to its disintegration. Russia looks on with supreme delight. Germany is chuckling with glee. All Europe is doubtless interested. Out Of The Shell Hole Of War The trumpet calls, while the race stands at attention. The old type Negro has faded into the past, the yesterday. Today we have the new type of Negro—a man. We have with us today the energetic, the aggressive, the progressive, the radical Negro. We have with us today the able, the successful Negro. The American Negro fought a man's fight on the fields of France, but his fighting was not ended there. The fight has just begun—the fight of Self-Defense. We must protect our homes against the onrush of the mob, and we will! We must protect ourselves from the insults of race injustice, and this we will leave to our better judgment. Mob, race riots, the lyncher's rope—is this the new Democracy? God forbid. Mobs are led by their sympathies and not by their reason. The burning of one of our race last week not only took the life of the man in the most hideous fashion, but the smoke of his burning flesh incircled the civilized world. Why is the new disorder? Is it because the American Negro is prosperous? Is it because the American Negro made a name for himself on the fields of France? (If so, there's no such a thing as gratitude. How well we do remember when the German guns were hacking away at the best of civilization. How well we do remember when our country called every man to save the world from the heel of the ruthless Hun. How well we do remember our men embarked for the bloody scene in the name of Democracy. The hand of the ruthless Hun was stopped. Stopped by the Black Man as well as White. When the smoke of battle cleared away Democracy had won. We only ask of this, our Government, the Democracy for which we fought. We only ask from our white brother the right to live in pursuit of happiness. We only ask from our race racial solidarity. If this is the cause of new disorder, disorder must go on. WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL CHICAGO TRIBUNE. OCT 7. RACE RIOTS. The blacks form less than 10 per cent of the population of the United States. They have less than one-tenth of a ghost of a show if the relations between white and black become bitterly hostile. The average black man and the average white man get along fairly well. Unless something happens to arouse their race prejudices and instincts they live by a tolerance which may not be a solution of race difficulties, but it is a method of life and it is practical. There is plenty of evidence just now that something is raising the race question. There is evidence, it is said, to support the story that agents had played on the imagination and ignorance of Negroes in Arkansas inciting them to arise against the whites and take their lands. Agitators have been at work. There is evidence that reds have tried to excite the blacks. Some misguided sentimentalists have tried to organize whites and blacks for the compulsory recognition of social equality — a propaganda which is even more vicious than the red propaganda. There are numerous elements and factors of disorder and the consequences already have been bad. Few Americans know what to do about it. We know what will happen if the two races cannot live in the same locality in peace. The whites will make a peace which will be their own. If intelligent Negroes could control their own people the tension would relax. Negro baiting is not a normal practice in American communities. Some crime or vicious episode starts the rioting. The position of the Negro is not a preferred one in American society. The Negro is at an economic disadvantage. He is needed in the south and has been brought into the north to meet labor emergencies, but he does not have an open field of work. These disadvantages cannot be removed by discussing them. They exist in race instincts and, along with the other disadvantages which the Negro meets, arise from causes not at the control of the reasoning faculties. No sensible person imagines that he knows what to do about the race problem because he does not know a method of eradicating race instincts and he would not want to eradicate them if he knew how. A person may know what will surely happen if the race instincts become inflamed and not have the slightest idea how to prevent contact from flaming into violent action. We know that if it comes to violence the blacks will get the worst of it. We know that the situation as it exists now has many possibilities of danger. Both north and south have had enough violence. Both may have more. Communities may not be able to stop agitation or effectively to counteract it, but they can see that the processes of law are applied with severity. Law strong enough to make the races live in peace will allow them to find their own ways of living in the same communities. EDITORIAL SIDE LIGHTS Anarchy must remember it takes but a day to destroy but years to reconstruct. We must not lag in our race with progress. Colored business, bigger business, better business-be aggressive about it and get into the game now. Race Riots are like a broken glass—it can be patched together but one never forgets where it was broken. We present our grievances to the courts of men, and ask the world to sit in judgment. The world wide flame of Riots not only burns its victims, but also Right, Liberty and Justice. Beware of false variety of class the battle new is to the Brains. Smiles help to brighten the day but business comes first and pleasure next. We have been Driven! Driven! and now are backs are to the wall. You sometimes ask yourself if it is really worth while to continue to struggle — anything worth while is worth taking all the energy that we possess. Don't figure you can take things easy for a while, then get thru — go from the shoulder all the way. Strikes are many — reason has struck in the souls of men. There never was a time when our cause was more just than now. In God we trust, and carry on. Our country, must protect its citizens or we must protect ourselves. Our people should read more, acquaint themselves with the ways of the world. Think before you act—after thinking up and down and around your subject let nothing stay your hand—he who hesitates is lost. EDITOR'S MAIL Chicago, Ill., Oct. 5, 1919. Editor of Whip! Dear sir:— Permit me to express my highest appreciation in behalf of your splendid editorial, "Living on the Boulevard." It was just right, strong and forceful. It seems so strange, that our other weekly paper is so near-sighted as to not see the harm in this kind of editorial. It only gives an opening for the white press to strike us. No other medium was so much responsible for our people coming from the South as the Chicago Defender. Enclosed you will find two dollars for my subscription, as I am thru with the Defender forever. Yours truly. Arnold Smith. Editor of Whip! Not since I've been able to read have I read anything more pleasing, forceful and aggressive as the Whip.
