He was the man of the hour, the grandest man of them all. Roosevelt by comparison was undoubtedly one of the colored man's greatest friends. We have incurved his name on the sanctuaries of our hearts. It is not necessary to uncork the liquid vial of eloquence and pay glowing tributes to Teddy. The world has fixed his greatness. He like Grant, "was great in goodness and good in greatness." It is impossible to add a sweeter fragrance to the rose or to add another color to the rainbow, it is impossible to add a more perfect tint to the Lily. It is impossible to recreate the undoubted virtues of the great American. He stood for the purest ideals of Americanism. A man of strong convictions and tonacious will. A man who typified the emulsions of progress and culture. While Roosevelt was imperfect, rough and ready, his stand and his platforms were the products of his heart. While he made many mistakes, they were all mistakes in judgement and not mistakes in motive. We will never Technicality Saves Man From Prison Technicality Saves Man From Prison Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 30. — A technicality in the wording of an indictment saved Charlie White from a possible long term in the penitentiary when he was arraigned Thursday on a charge of arson. The Chicago Whip, 3457 State St., Chicago, Ills. Gentlemen: AP3r/VG The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY forget Roosevelt. While he could have done more for us, he did more than any other man of his time. While his contemporaries faltered, he alone came forward and took a man's stand. eW still remember his memorable words, "If you will not go forward, let my men pass." The colored people idolized Roosevelt during his eventful and pregnant life. Since he has shuffled of this terrestrial spheroid, since he has gone to a better and more perfect world, his memory still lives within our hearts. It burns itself into the fabric of our love. We pray for another man to sit in the high place of our departed friend. We pray for another man of altruism and broad vision to wield the governmental reins. We pray for the remagnetic spirit and unfaltering, unfinching courage. We to propose that Roosevelt's birthday be a National birthday, and within the sacred walls of honor and glory. That the picture of Theodore Roosevelt will be hanged and left to inspire and visualize America. There let it hang until the Arch Angel shall sound the trumpet to shake this globe to pieces. The man was charged in the incitement with burning an unoccupied dwelling house" belonging to Anna McGee, and situated in Irwin street. The McQueen woman testified the building was a storehouse and not a dwelling. Attorney Lawton Nailey, for the accused, moved for a verdict of not guilty on the ground that there was no evidence that the negro had set fire to a dwelling, as charged. october 20-1919 CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1919 RIOT FRENZY LAWLESSNESS BROV. Japanese Undersell Alabama To Hang Ex White Profiteers Soldier Dec. 6th Alabama Acquits Conductor Who Killed By the Enterprise Press. The Japanese business houses are successfully competing on the Western coast, a few days ago a certain gentleman entered a Jap store in San Francisco to purchase an article, this article was bought for $1.75; around the corner the same article was on sale, at a white store, for $3.00. It is perceived that the wily Jap sold at fair profit, so at the $3 sale price, it is perceived that wholesale profitering was going on. The Japanese are selling everything, first quality and accurate weight at reasonable prices. They already have big business in all commodities, they are making money and living economically, but comfortably. $2.00 to the Japanese goes further than $4.00 to the white man. The Japanese can turn over a dollar more swiftly and successfully than the world famed Jew and other caucasians. They present a strong business front and do collective bargaining at fair prices. A good example for all. Man Arrested On A Serious Charge Accused of Having Made Insulting Proposals to Young Women Memphis, Oct. 29.—Andrew Jackson, Colored, charged with attempted assault, was held to the Grand Jury today following a hearing in the City Court. Jackson was arrested on complaint of three young women rooming over a furniture store downtown, who alleged Jackson came to their rooms and made insulting proposals. He pleaded not guilty. He is held without bond. Appeals For Votes Owensboro, Ky., October 25. — Edwin P. Morrow spoke in Owensboro this afternoon in the interest of his candidacy for Governor. He made a special appeal to the negro voters who were present in the balcony, to vote early and stay late at the polls on November 4. Mr. Morrow was introduced by Judge Lawson Reno. Insulted By Conductor By the Enterprise Press. Oct. 29.—Edger Caldwell a colored soldier is convicted and sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 6. The application for a rehearing has been over ruled by the Alabama supreme court. Resented insult from conductor. Caldwell killed a street car conductor in Anniston on Dec. 6. last, when the conductor called the soldier improper names, insisting on him paying his fare twice, when the insult became unbearable it is said that conductor slapped Caldwell and added further abuse whereupon Caldwell pulled out his revolver and shot the offender to death. Achieved glory in France. Caldwell has been cited for the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished service cross. Caldwell is happy and says that he will wear his medals in a fairer and squarer world. He pleaded reasonable provocations and self defense. To appeal to sick President. The colored people of Alabama are signing an appeal to the president who is sick with swelling of the prostatic gland, to stay the execution. Little hope entertained. Little hope is entertained for clemency from this source, and Caldwell's friends state that he will die as he live a hero and a credit to humanity. Japanese To Join In Tribute To Roosevelt New York, Oct. 28.—All Japanese associations in the United States have been asked to co-operate with the Roosevelt Memorial Association in its campaign this week to raise funds for permanent Memorials to Theodore Roosevelt, it was announced here today by the Japanese Association of New York. R. Ichinomiya, president of the association, in telegraphic appeals to other Japanese associations, said that Japan owed a debt of gratitude to Colonel Roosevelt for the peace settlement at the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war.

Summerlin, a street car conductor, was acquitted of the alleged murder of John Green (colored). Brutally killed man. Summerlin brutally killed Green in dispute over carfare. Green politely insisted that he had already paid, whereupon Summerlin jerked out his gun and fired into the body of the American citizen. It is said that Green was unarmed and was an industrious law abiding citizen. The case was tried before one judge William E. Fort, and the jury was only out fifteen minutes, a record for murder juries. Conviction prayed for. Conviction prayed for. The pastors of colored churches had circulars printed and prayed for the conviction of the man-killer. Green (the dead man) was a returned soldier and a veteran of Chateau Thierry and Soissons. He wore the French medaille and was a brave soldier. Summerlin did not enlist and did not resign his non-essential occupation during the countries crisis. The colored are much incensed and it is feared that further feeling against Summerlin will be solicited. Accused As Child's Slayer----On Trial For Life Accused As Child's Slayer----On Trial For Life October 30.—Dave Rice, Colored, was placed on trial for his life before a jury in Judge John D. Humphries' division of Criminal Court Thursday, accused as the slayer of 3-year-old Abe Kingloff in Moore street on November 18, 1918. The killing was the outgrowth of a dice game in a house in Moore street, two of the gamesters engaging in a row and terminated in a pistol duel in the street. Abe Kingloff was playing in front of his home at the time. Jab Watkins, Colored, also was slain. Rice protested to the jury that he was not engaged in the duel. Rice was represented by Judge Ben Hill, Harvey Hill and Tillou Van Nunes. According to reliable reports a meeting called by the Grand Blvd. District of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association Monday night to which colored citizens and Property Owners were invited, it is alleged that the purpose of this convention was to discuss and devise plans of putting into effect the original of this organization for tentative segregation. Colored Citizens Spurn Invitations. Knowing that the personell and the officers of the organization had hereofore violated the spirit of the constitution and the recognized principles of true Americanism in their denunciations of colored people and that the best class of white people were not in sympathy with the violent primitive tactics of these officers, the colored property owners refused to attend the meeting. They also refused to attend and discuss because they resented the compromising stand taken by a certain J. Gray Lucas, who exalted himself to leadership and allowed himself to be misunderstood by the white press on Friday night last. Calls Meeting Friday Night. At half past eight o'clock, the hour Seeks Damages From Tennessee Sheriff Memphis, Oct. 28.—Robert Smith, Colored, main figure in a $100,000 damage suit against Mike G. Tate, former sheriff, and three of his deputies, testified today that he was shot without provocation when Tate and his deputies visited his home near Bartlett, Tenn., in search of Smith's nephew, Ben Smith, wanted for murder. Smith alleges the officers forced their way into his home while he was confined to his bed by illness. The defense proved that Smith had a rifle in his bed with him when he was shot.

They realized that they had mistaken the effervescence for the liquid. Not a colored man showed up. The meeting was adjourned and set for Friday night. Leaders Advise Against Discussion. The proactive colored leaders have advised all law abiding and self respecting colored people to steer clear of conventions held by this organization. Col. Denison in a speech said, that there were no issues involved, therefore there was nothing to be gained thru discussion.

Startling Revelations by Walter White Shows Cause of Arkansas Riots. Startling Revelations by Walter White Shows Cause of Arkansas Riots. The cause of the disturbances in Arkansas was systematic robbery of Negro tenant farmers and share croppers. For years Negroes have been working the farms of white owners on shares and when the time came for a settlement, owners have refused to give them itemized statements of their accounts. Negro tenant farmers and share croppers must buy their supplies during the year from the plantation store or some designated store. The system kept the Negro continually in debt and it is an unwritten law in Arkansas as in many parts of the South that the Negro may not leave the plantation until the debt is paid. "The Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America" was formed by Negro share croppers and the dues paid were to go into a common fund to employ a lawyer. The lawyer was to make a test case in court of one tenant farmer's inability to obtain an itemized statement of his account. On October 6 tenant farmers on 21 plantations were to ask the owners for a settlement. It appears that, failing a settlement, the Negroes were going to refuse to pick the cotton then in the field or to sell cotton belonging to them for less than the market price. Trouble, however, was precipitated when W. A. Adkins, a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad! Charles Pratt, a deputy sheriff, and a Negro "trusty" were fired upon, so it is claimed, by Negroes in a church at Hoop Spur. Adkins was killed and Pratt severely wounded. A statement of one of the persons in the church at the time, however, shows that Adkins and Pratt BUY WHILE IT LASTS 25% Investment Griffin Music Co., Stock OFFICERS Stephen A.

The firm has been doing a general retail Music business, at two stores, one at 3637 South State St., and one at 3034 Indiana Avenue, for the past three years. Their success is evidenced by the fact that during this time they have done more than forty-five thousand ($45,000) dollars of business. They have been especially successful since they began the publishing business, so much so that they find it necessary to increase their working capital to take care of the great increase in the volume of business. To that end they find it advisable to offer a limited amount of their treasury stock at par. R. W.

That precipitated the trouble. One case which will show the economic exploitation is that of a Negro on the plantation of R. B. McCombs, a white man, in Ashley County, Ark. The Negro's crop was worth $3,322.76, the Negro's share being $1,661.38. McCombs paid the Negro $326 and refused to pay him any more, declaring that the Negro had taken up the balance in goods. The Negro brought suit but failed to obtain a judgement, the jury being white, as is always the case in that part of the country. WAGES ARE NOT HIGH; STATIS TICS CONFUSE. BOSTON, Oct. 25.—In a statement by the national industrial conference board it is stated that the "average wages of men in eight leading industries, as measured by average hourly earnings, increased all the way from 74 per cent to 112 per cent during the period from September, 1914, to March, 1919." The board represents a score of employers' associations, and has issued a report on "War Time Changes in Wages." The board proves its claim of wage increases by a series of tables, which also show—although the board does not acknowledge it—that the September, 1914, average rate of these workers could not meet the American standard of living, and that the same is true of the March, 1919, average rate.

The owner of the land had taken all of the crop, had refused a settlement and the Negro had walked 122 miles to Little Rock hoping to get a lawyer, being absolutely penniless. Many similar cases could be cited and it was a determination to protest these conditions that led to the formation of the organization which is claimed by the whites to have "planned a massacre."

Washington, Oct. 29.--In urging action on a bill for the deportation of alien military slackers, Representative M. Clyde Kelley of Pennsylvania, ap- pearing as a witness before the House Commission, declared today that the measure in its present form is not in conflict with treaties with various neutral nations. Mr. Kelly said that the bill ap- plies only to aliens who had filed declaration of their intension to be- come American citizens and withdrew them in order to evade the draft, There were 1,745 of these, according to the records of the Department of Labor. Mr. Kelly took the position and his views were approved by mem- hers of the committee, that Seeretary of State Lansing’s statement that aliens of Sweden, Switzerland, and other neutral nations, with whom the United States have treaties exempt: ing their subjects from military serv ice, could not be deported, did not ap: play to the present bill. He said that aliens who had filed first: citizenship papers in this country were no long: er subject to foreign treaties. Mr. Kelly said that figures of the first draft show that there were 734,129 aliens in this country who re fused the opportunity given them fo military service for the country; 1, TH were declgrants who were 0x cused; 1,745 who withdrew (heir first citizenship papers; 27,706 dectarente who fled the country; 129.208 non. declarants subjects or citizens of al lied and neutral countries, and 540, 033 other aliens within the draft class, Of the latter 122,558 were ex claded as alien enemies and 5,037 were discharged from army camps a alien enemic Representative Welty of Ohio, 4 member of the committee, indicated that he disapproved of deportation. “There is no doubt that Congress will deal with these undesirables,” gaid-Mr, Welty. “They will be o: tracised.

Twenty-five coloured people have been killed and some seventy-five have been indicted for offenses growing out of the riot, the majority of whom have not the funds to provide proper and adequate legal services.

For the first time in Chicago's history, the motor playgoer will enter a playhouse at a different level than the pedestrian. Automobiles will use the sub-street below the raised boulevard and on the Grand avenue level, where there is space for parking. Special elevators and stairways will lead to the foyer. The theatre, for which the tentative name, "The Michigan," has been adopted, will seat 1,700 and is planned to house legitimate attractions. It is said a New York producing firm will take a long term lease of the theatre. A syndicate headed by Walter W. Ahlschlager, the architect of the project, has purchased the site.

"Nuf sed". Has Secret Service. Colored would be detective. Hot Springs, Oct. 17.—It will remain for one Tom Curtis, said to be a secret service man stationed in the Union Station at St. Louis, to verify the story told by Richard E. Brooks, negro, of 13 North Garrison avenue, St. Louis, porter on the paymaster's car of the Missouri Pasific railroad, to clear Brooks of the suspicion of being implicated in a negro secret organization which, it is alleged, has for its object the stirring up of negroes against the whites. Brooks was arrested and locked up in the city jail after he had paid for a special badge bearing the inscription, "Secret United State Service, D. C." The badge was made for him by J. C. Harding, at his stand near the postoffice. Brooks told newspaper men that Curtis, who Brooks says is a Secret Service man, asked him Monday night in St. Louis to get the badge made for him. "Curtis came to me just before the train pulled out, told where I would find the badge man and explained that the badge maker in Hot Springs had made that kind of a badge for him about a year ago and that he had recently lost the pin and wanted another one just like he had made before," said Brooks. "I asked Curtis where I could find him if he wasn't in the Union Station when I got back, and he said I could get him at 2111 Chestnut street. I have seen Curtis in the Union Station for the past three years, and I have every reason to believe he is a Secret Service man." Harding, who made the badge, says the negro told him he wanted the badge for his own use. Harding says Brooks wanted "Washington" on the badge and said that "I work out of there." Brooks referred the officers to high officials of the Missouri Pacific rail road in St. Louis, who, he said, would vouch for his character. "I never thought how strange it would look for me to get a Secret Service badge made," said Brooks, "but I realize it Hear MISS MARY E.

Proceeds to go to an institution whose aim is in the better understanding between the races. An Open Letter by a Keen Observer. The article printed in your Monday paper in regard to a meeting to be held Monday evening by the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association has been carefully read by me, also their pamphlet, hand bill and letter, which they sent to colored real estate men The Hyde Park and Kenwood Association overlooked a great many facts in trying to settle this question, if it may be called a question. They seem to be unconscious of the fact that Chicago is rapidly growing and is demanding laborers to assist their manufacturing establishments. The only laborers that they can obtain at this time are the Negro laborers of the South. No manufacturing establishment at the present time in the city of Chicago is providing houses for laborers who are continually coming to this city, consequently the Negro neighborhoods are gradually widening their area in order to accommodate these people. If we are to admit that there is a depreciation of five million dollars of property in their neighborhoods, and eventually a depreciation of five hundred million dollars of property cut in neighborhoods this association refers to, then they must consider that this is to be simply an economic question of dollars and cents. Admitting, as I have stated before, that there will eventually be a depreciation of five million dollars, these people in this district absolutely forget the fact that by the importation of Negroes to this city that for every million dollars' depreciation there is fifty million dollars of porfit. The Negro is here to stay, and for every ten Negroes who come to Chicago there are ten white men's salaries raised, and for every dollar earned by a Negro there are two dollars more earned by white men. The Negroes' earning power is about one million dollars a week at the present time. If the white man pays him a salary of one million dollars a week, the white man's dividends from his labor easily amounts to two million dollars a week; fifty-two weeks, or a year, one hundred and four million dollars; in less than five years this property loss is counterbalanced; in ten years this has earned the white man an enormous profit, just as the free labor of the slave states made both the South and New England states of America very wealthy, so the Negro coming into Chicago is making these same men who object to a trifling loss of five hundred millions, tens of billions of dollars by their being here. If these people who are objecting so strenuously to the Negros moving to Chicago would desist from buying stock in the steel mills and stock yards' interests and all manufacturing interests in Chicago, they might be able to stop the Negroes from coming to Chicago. But since they insist on buying interests in these manufacturing establishments and running them, Chicago will continue to expand and laborers will continue coming to this great city of ours. The chief objectors to the Negro coming to Chicago are a few white real estate men located in some of the neighborhoods south of 39th St. who are at the present time not making the enormous profits that they made five or ten years ago. Chicago is not getting poorer by the Negro being here in this community, but becoming hundreds of times richer, and while one neighborhood may be suffering from a slight depreciation, the great commonwealth of Chicago is enjoying an era of prosperity by his presence. The Negro is an asset and not a liability to any community, and we, as citizens of Chicago, should not resort to the primitive way of settling this question, but we msut analyze the facts with supreme patience and unerring judgment.

Just what is meant by inflammation is not known. The Negroes are aware of their false security and poor pay and it is not tho't that the papers have given them this information. Negroes are leaving Arkansas in great numbers and the autumn crops are not being harvested. FOR SALE—2910 Federal St.—2-flat frame, 5-6 rooms. Bath. Owners, 3215 N.

C., Oct. 14.—A pitched battle between several officers and Joe Turner, the negro gambler, wanted here for the murder of Greenville police Sunday morning, was staged in a patch of woods in the southwestern part of Spartanburg County last night, according to reports brought here today by policemen and other officers who pursued the negro. Deputy Sheriff Noe and former Chief of Police Gosnell and others were fired on several times by the negro, armed with two pistols, and several volleys were exchanged. He was pursued through dense thickets and trailed by bloodhounds that firs picked up the trail at a negro house, where it was believed the fugitive had been hiding. Officers who returned to Greenville early today reported a posse of several hundred strong was scouring the country. At one stage of the hunt it was believed the negro had been surrounded and all avenues of escape closed in, but then found their quarry had slipped through the meshes of the human net thrown around the swamp. The Trouble in Arkansas. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., New York, makes public the following letter from a correspondent near the scene of the race riots in Arkansas, showing cotton prices, not Negro insurrection, as the cause of the trouble. The correspondent, whose standing the Association vouches for, writes: "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, was employed by sixty or seventy colored families to go to Elaine and represent them in a dispute with the white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. The rumor is that the planters had organized to settle with the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bratton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the clippings I have sent. "This 'Federated Union of America' is cannouflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the press about 'Negroes being armed to kill all white people and take their farms away from them' is too ridiculous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal, of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroes, therein quoted, his clients "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact to obtain statements at all, and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off without settling with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts. — — As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these share croppers who desired to represent them. If it's a crime to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our boys to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means." Purchased by JOHN B.

Church News Dr. Griggs Lecture at Olivet Baptist Church. 31 and South Park Ave. Perhaps the most thoughtful and masterful speech that the members of Olivet Baptist Church and the public at large has had the good fortune to hear is the address to be delivered by Dr. Sutton E. Griggs of Memphis, Tennessee, Wednesday, October 29, at 8:30. Dr. Griggs has very few equals in his denomination and no superiors. He is a sincere, tireless worker for the general uplift of the masses. He is also considered by the best minds of both races as one of the best and most constructive thinkers of the age. Besides it is said that he is a forceful and interesting speaker. For these reasons, Dr. Brannon the assistant pastor, is of the opinion that the main auditorium of the Church will be crowded for stading room. An appeal has been sent out to all Clubs and Societies who are desirous of hearing this wonderful speaker to come early for seating accommodations. Dr. Griggs expects to leave the City after his address Wednesday night for Memphis. He has under construction one of the largest institutional Churches in the country and his presence is needed at home. He is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. The conference of Volunteer Workers, under the direction of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. October 23-26, was a grand success. Miss Eva Bowels and Mrs. Winn of New York rendered valuable service to the meeting—as usual. A reception was tendered the workers by the Blue Triangle Club. Some of the topics discussed were "Committees and Girls as We Find Them in 1920," "What the Y. W. C. A. Stands for in a Community," "The Greatest Need in the World." Among the speakers were Miss Eva Bowles, Mrs. Winn, Mrs. H. L. McCreyron, Charolte, N. C.; Mrs. Harry R. Chamberlin, executive secretary Ohio and West Virginia Field; Mrs. J. W. Robinson; Mrs. McAdoo, Chicago. Miss Clayda Williams, secretary for Recreation Work Staff, gave a practical illustration of the value of physical education in a Y. W. C. A. The guests enjoyed a pleasant auto party by The Blue Triangle. Others Studying Methods of Suppressing Uprising.

Declaring conditions are rapidly becoming normal and every effort is being made to prevent further disturbance, authorities tonight issued an order forbidding temporarily the sale of "all intoxicating liquors, beverages, medicines and other liquids containing alcohol in amounts which will inexicate."

The society is said to have its inception in an Associated Press dispatch from London relating the perturbation of fashionable English tailors over the growth of "old clothes leagues," in the British metropolis.

Washington, Oct. 30. — Approximately 1,000 Chinese driven out of Mexico into Guatemala are awaiting the result of an appeal made by the Chinese government to the United States to assist them in returning to their homes in China. The State Department is considering the suggestion that a government vessel be used to transport them. The Chinese were driven across the Guatemalan frontier by native laborers. China's Awakening Out of the Chinese boycotts of Japanese goods and the strikes of students in Chinese schools come the first signs of the awakening of a national consciousness in China. Lack of national feeling among her people is the greatest handicap to a republican form of government in China. Feeling for China as a country, as a national fatherland, has been wholly absent in the mass of the people. The students of foreign forms of learning and, it is only proper to say, the inhabitants of San Francisco's Chinatown, were the first to feel it. They were nothing in comparison with China's 400,000,000, but the leavers appear now to be spreading. Omaha's Legal Machinery in Action. 8 Lynchers Indicted. By the Enterprise Press.

Francis rode thru the mob on a horse and stormed the court house repeatedly. He was driven away by the law, but always came back riding his horse. It is regretted that this boy is allowed to go at large because it is said that he has a criminal impulse. No indictments have been returned against the mayor's assailants as yet. The state agents are working on the case and tangible results are expected next week. Football and Basketball Go Well at Pekin, China. American football and baseball have been successfully introduced at Tsing-Hua College, Petal, China, according to Ming S. Lowe, registrar of the college, who was at Frisco recently en route to China after a tour of the United States. Eicha years ago Lowe left for China after having graduated from the University of California, where he was known as an all-round athlete. After his arrival in China he obtained the service of an American coach and physical director, D. K. Brace, a college graduate, to coach the various teams then organized in a tentative way, in baseball, American football, soccer, tennis, track and swimming. American football and Yankee baseball are among the most popular sports at Tsing Hua College. A golf course is soon to be laid out near the college. After the Midleman. (Excerpts from the American Federation of Labor Weekly News Letter.) PARIS, France, Oct. 25.—The minister of agriculture announces that since September 1 he has opened nine municipal grocery stores in this city and five in the suburbs in a drive against profiteering middlemen. Forty-nine additional stores are nearing completion, and will be opened in the very near future. The stores are constructed at the expense and under the direction of the food administrator, who is reimbursed by the city of Paris, which then becomes the proprietor. These municipal groceries were established to quiet the industrial unrest due to the high cost of living. The products are sold at cost. Favor Co-operation.

Asserting that "we must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous inter-racial situation now threatens our country," the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America, made public a "constructive program" for protection of Negroes against mob violence, bettering their condition, and removing the cause of racial troubles. The plan was formulated by the council acting in conjunction with a committee representing white and Negro citizens from all sections of the United States. At a meeting of the committee held in New York recently, a discussion of the racial situation took place and it was decided to issue "a call to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races." The statement outlining the program is signed by Frank Masan North, president of the federal council, Albert G. Lawson, chairman of its administrative committee; Wilbur P. Thinkfield, chairman of the committee on Negro churches (and Charles S. McFarland, general secretary of the council. The first paragraph of the program urges protection against mob violence. It follows: "The government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee t oall classes security of life and property. Mob violence is becoming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessly taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts, law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good people to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liberty and the pursuit' of happiness may be equally secured to all classes. "The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work and with fair working and living conditions," the program continues. "The entrance of large numbers into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amicable adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow workers." Referring to the crimes that provoke mob violence, it is said: "W call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlistment of Negro leaders in a program of education and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that of other Americans, and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any home, white or black. Adequate recreational provisions are recommended for Negroes on the ground that it is "fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society." The plea of the Negro for "equal traveling accommodations for equal charges" is also endorsed. "Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national obligation, but as a necessity for national welfare." "We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro his full share of local and national "qualifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race, creed or color." The council advocates closer cooperation between white persons and Negroes. This could be brought about, it says, by organizing local committees of white persons and Negroes in towns and communities for the consideration of the inter-racial welfare. The council also recommends that the governor of each state appoint a standing committee for the study of causes underlying racial friction with a view to their removal. It advocates also that "congress be requested thru a nonpartisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threatening inter-racial situation thruout the nation." "The root of the matter," it says "is the failure to recognize the Negro as a man. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self-determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and good will abroad, let us apply the same program at home." A statement by the council prefacing the program asserts that "the recent race conflicts in some of our cities is a challenge to the churches harged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for the Negro thus securing peace and good will between the races. Three Negroes Escape. Black Held as Riot Leader Breaks Jail at Arkansas City. Arkansas City.—William People, Negro, alleged leader in the Progressive Farmers' and Household Union, held responsible for the recent Nerro uprising at Elaine, and two other Negroes escaped from the Desha county jail about 8 o'clock last night after attacking J. G. Randall, deputy sheriff, and seizing his keys. The Negroes who escaped with People were Clarence Douglas, held for highway robbery, and Ben Needham, serving out a fine of $100 for carrying a gun. Sheriff George R. Lacy of Desha county has offered a reward of $50 for the arrest of each of the three. Conly Harrell, Negro, held on murder charges, was with the other blacks but failed to escape. Randall was decoyed into the cell corridor, where Peoples was confined, by a Negro who asked for some medicine. One of the trio knocked Randall down and the others took his keys and gun. He was held down until the cell and other doors were unlocked. The Negroes kicked Randall before they fled. Peoples was arrested at Winchester on charges of being implicated in the uprising, and is sai dto have called himself a "United States detective." He was to have been taken to Helena tomorrow to appear before the committee investigating the disorders at Elaine. $5 Fine for Poor Throw. Brockton, Mass., Oct. 8. — Mary Ruyat, 22, an actress who took part in a vaudeville act at the Brockton Fair here last week, was fined $5 in the Police Court there one day last week on a charge of throwing a cup of coffee at Mrs. Louise Robinson, who conducted an eating tent on the grounds. Mrs. Robinson, in court, declared that the girl called for a cup of coffee to take out and was gone only a few minutes when she returned claiming that the coffee tasted of kerosene. An argument followed during which the cup of coffee was thrown. The missile and its contents narrowly escaped hitting Mrs. Robinson in the head. L. W. W The Man Who for Bargains i L. W.

Packer's Profits Fig. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. — The Armour Grain Company, a factor in the cereal and breakfast food business and a subsidiary of the Armour Packing Company, reported a surplus undivided profits for the year 1917 of $5,426,830, after deducing a 78 per cent dividend on capital stock, reports the federal trade commission. "The year's net earnings amounted to $2,903,912, or 290 per cent on the capital stock and 67 per cent on the net worth of the company, including capital, surplus and undivided profits, as reported at the close of the fiscal year 1916." Judge Gary is "Kind." SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.—Says Editor Barry of the Star: "No basic industry has treated its employees with greater respect and consideration than the United States steel corporation," says kind-hearted old Judge Gary. Then he proves it by this tabulation: 69,284 of the corporation's employees worked a 12-hour day, 188,896 a 10-hour day and 88,904 averaged an 8-hour day—which might mean they work 12 hours some days and not at all on others.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. TEN TO ONE. Many references to numerical differences in the United States have been recently made. The Chicago Tribune throws the inflammatory threat with the intention to frighten the Colored citizens that they are outnumbered 10 to 1 and that they could not withstand with their puny 10 millions the onslaughts of a 100 million whites. Of course the threat with its disguised intimidations was received with little perturbation. It was lost on barren soil because only ideas that can be used are being planted into the brain of the New Negro. The American colored man has no fear of extermination. The American white man has no thought of attempting it. This blot that would forever defile the National escutcheon. The international relationship between great countries would not permit it. Public opinion would not tolerate it. It would not be a feasible thing to attempt. The Colored man is not fearing extermination neither is he skeptical of having his wings clipped or his inherent privileges curtailed, but like the American eagle, the bird of Liberty, He is "pluming his wings for loftier flight". History has related how small armies have stood off larger enemies. The famous battle at Thermopolae where an army of 300 held off an enemy of 10,000. Horatius at the bridge. Alexander the Great's wonderful victories with small armies. Napoleon's return from Elba and the great charges of his invincible Old Guard. These tales are recorded by Historians who have not made research in ancient and medieval happenings. The better histories state that 10,000 met and fought 10,000 at Thermopolae, that Alexander had a large and powerful army, that Horatius was a myth, that Napoleon was rejoined by his old army and marched to Paris with a wonderful fighting machine. As a rule the largest armies are the most powerful. The most powerful armies invariably win. The Allies have just crushed Germany by sheer numbers. Therefore we do not contend that the colored man has a fighting chance in an organized war in America. Besides being hopelessly crippled by lack of numbers, he is crippled by lack of wealth and munitions. Organized warfare between black and white would result disastrously. No one is thinking of organizing for race wars. Of course the post-war psychology causes national abnormality and smaller premiums on human life. But as a question for the public to decide. No one wants bloodshed and intra-national frictions. However technical warfare may exist and crop out in sporadic riot. A race riot may crop out in New York today and St. Louis tomorrow. Race wars may flare up here and there all over the U. S. but no organized National racial clashes will be in evidence. These sporadic riot-like wars that the Tribune had in mind will not exterminate the Negro. The ratio of 10 to 1 is not large enough to crush out the colored man. Riots do not crop out in the same place twice. The Negro always has been on the defensive but has always put up such a terrible fight that the would-be exterminators have invariably slunk back into their dugouts of ignorance, superstition and hate. No riots have been scheduled in Birmingham, Ala., because the colored miners were in possession of great quantities of dynamite. Wherever there is equal racial strength no riots flare up because the Negro never starts one and the whites are rather reluctant to be the aggressors. The colored people are so located and segregated in large Northern cities that they can take care of themselves and in the South they are so numerically strong that the white man is afraid to arouse them to their full strength. Therefore in riot warfare the Negro will not be exterminated. The Chicago Tribune is forever sicking on the dogs of war and waving the bloody shirt. Let us have peace. The war bugle of the Tribune should be muzzled. Why continually open the old wounds? The New Negro does not fear extermination but he would rather have it than segregation and discrimination. If the poor white man is not careful, however, he will be exterminated in the economic wars, because the scales are falling off of the colored man's eyes and he is beginning to realize his potential economic strength. He is organizing his dollars to fight his battles. THE CHICAGO WHIP PAGE OF THE IE CHIC Thirty-eight negro educators of North Carolina have recently taken a strong stand against the activities of revolutionary negro race "uplifters," and in a message to the negroes of the country, plainly warn them that they are playing with fire when they listen to the advocates of social and racial equality with the white people. At a time when radical negro editors, who seem to be well supplied with funds for putting out lurid publicity, calculated to arouse the race consciousness of the negroes, are rampant in advocating their theories of race equality, the North Carolina negro teachers have sounded a hopeful note. It will be an encouragement to the elements in both white and black races which have an understanding of the race question, for these know that any attempt of the negro to take a short cut to social equality with the white race, can result only in injury of the negro, and can serve only to retard his true development. There is opportunity in this country for the negro to progress economically, culturally and spiritually, but it must be accomplished within his own racial bounds. Segregation is the only feasible plan for the races. There can be no social equality between the white man and the negro. Members of the white race will encourage and aid those of the black race in their efforts at self-improvement and racial development, but the law of nature itself forbids that they intermingle on terms of social equality. If this be not enough, the whole tradition and the immutable principle of the Anglo-Saxon race cries out against it. The earlier the negroes, who have more ambition than wisdom, learn this, the earlier will race troubles disappear. The earlier they redirect their efforts at progress along lines that do not attempt to overthrow the instincts and the tradition of the white race, the more rapid and substantial will their development be. The race uplifter, black or white, who attempts to incite the negroes to revolt against his social relation to the white man, is either a fool or a knave, and between his advice and that of the leading negro educators of the South, who are virtually a unit in their denunciation of all social equality and "direct action" schemes for the negro, the sensible black man will not hesitate long. A Stand by Southern Paper. Editorial from Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 24. The effort is now under way in Atlanta to bring about a better and more sympathetic understanding between the white and colored people through their respective church organizations is truly commendable. It is highly instructive work, intelligently directed. As a matter of fact, the work is by no means just begun; it has been under way for several years, and already some splendid results have been obtained. It is a fact, nevertheless, that a decidedly more widespread public interest in the work has manifested itself of late, and to that extent its promoters feel greatly encouraged and anticipate still further fine results as time goes on. The Georgian knows of no effort by way of civic development and betterment that it would more cordially and willingly support. A sympathetic and sensible understanding between the races is most assuredly to be desired; the two races have so much in common; the forward march of both may be so greatly helped or impeded by the other, as the case may be. That both races may be continuously and intelligently helpful to each other is beyond all argument the thing to be desired—the thing to be worked for by men who labor along upbuilding lines. There has been set up by the ministerial associations of both the white and colored races in Atlanta parallel committees, having in charge, generally speaking, certain phases of race relations, and it is proposed that the two organizations work, the one with the other, through these committees for the amicable and intelligent adjustments of problems that may arise. Surely no more sensible or promising agency could have been invoked by either race in this matter. The Georgian confidently anticipates the most helpful of results from the same. Through the efforts of this joint committee one school badly needed has been set up for the use of the CHICAGO BUSINESS LEAGUE FORMED. The Chicago Business League was formally launched at a well attended meeting held in the parliars of the Appomattox Club, Wednesday evening, October 15, amid a great deal of genuine enthusiasm. The organization expects to embrace in its mem- --- --- THE BIRTH OF BIG BUSINESS. The future will not see the commercial status of the Negro in Chicago a mean one. The psychology of the Negro leader with money and influence has undergone a complete metamorphosis. After several unsuccessful attempts they have hit the trail of cooperative thought and action. The most elastic and optimistic mind can hardly conceive the possibilities and probabilities that will be the inevitable result of this change. The Chicago Business league is the first product. The very spirit out of which it was created is evidence of its longevity. The intelligence and the character of its officers insures scientific management and assures unerring judgment. No movement was ever launched, no constitution ever adopted with less friction. For vision, unselfishness, purity of motive and oneness of aim the founders of this organization will always stand as a beacon light to guide all disorganized, inactive groups to assertion and solidarity. Those parasites who have feasted and waxed fat from lack of cohesion amongst us must seek other fields or die from lack of patronage. Those of our group who have been bewildered and discouraged need not entertain further fears or doubts. A way has been found, a program has been adopted. Ask no questions, simply fall in line and give the organization your entire moral and financial support. The members of the white race who have given money, and sacrificed the social contact of their own race to aid us in our early struggles may also rejoice in the fruits of their efforts. Chicago is the Mecca of Negro progress. Throughout the United States the Race will follow the example of the men who breathed life into the Chicago business Lague. The next generation will figure conspicuously in the financial affairs of America. The so called race problem which in the last analysis is a financial problem will be far on the road to a solution. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL. Cleveland Advocate, Oct. 25. The New Orleans Times-Picayune, in a recent issue, discussing the recent race riots, says: "The Negroes are cursed today by a tribe of scribblers whose screeds serve only to breed racial prejudice and resentment among whites." The Times Picayune, when it uses the word "scribblers," of course, has reference of Colored newspaper editors, and Colored writers who are constantly protesting against injustice—the very injustice that has been inciting race riots. The Southern white editors, and writers, who flamingly announce their "creed"—that of uncompromising antagonism to constitutional rights for the race, do not consider themselves "scribblers" whose screeds serve to breed racial prejudice. They assume, with the customary arbitrariness of bourbon Southerners, that THEIR "screed," because it is the screed of a white Southerner, must be accepted quiescently, whether sugar-coated, or in the form of the lynchers' rope for some poor black man or woman. Before the world war—before more than 400,000 of our bravest and best Colored boys were sent to France under the assurance that they were called to fight "to make the world safe for democracy," that "screed" of lynching, segregation, jim-crowism and annulment of rights preached by most Southern white editors, including the editor of the Times-Picayune, was generally accepted, though under silent protest, by the 10,000,000 Colored people who live below the Mason and Dixon line. However, having gone to the front; having gone "over the top" in France; having dyed Flanders' fields with his blood for, as he supposed, DEMOCRACY, the Colored man, as Charles Edward Russell so well said, "has found himself. He knows now that he IS a man." The "screed" of the American Colored man now as in the past, and will continue to be in the future, is simply a PLEA FOR JUSTICE. He is not seeking to arouse resentment—he will do his utmost, consistent with citizen-pride, to avoid arousing resentment, but NO LONGER will he submit tamely when the mob comes to drive him from his home—to maltreat and murder him. We recognize that we still have many splendid, helpful white friends—and a few even in the South where the Times-Picayune circulates. The Washington, Chicago and Omaha riots have served to arouse these friends, and such as had been indifferent—only because they knew not—to the gravity of the situation; to the fact that the Colored man's "screed," EXACT JUSTICE—EQUAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND OPPORTUNITY, is a "screed" hat transcends the screed of "scribblers" on many of the Southern white newspapers like the Times-Picayune. WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL. HOPE FROM GEORGIA. Forward Movement Destined to Be of Great Value in Boosting Race Business and Increasing Business Efficiency. Houston, Texas, Post, Oct. 23. colored children in one section of the city; the same agency has formulated tentative plans, already partially executed, looking to a colored recreation park. The Georgian suggests as a specific recommendation for further consideration, that the matter of a library for colored people be considered. There is at the present moment a substantial foundation to build upon in this regard. These things are mentioned here as showing some definite things already accomplished—things that must be encouraging to the colored people—as likely to make their lot happier and their existence more tolerable. The work as a whole is naturally designed to be reciprocal in its scope, in that the end sought is mutual good will, helpfulness and understanding; and everything and anything that tends concretely to show good faith both ways will be encouraging. The Georgian believes that if the ministerial organizations mentioned here are able to take care of the relatively minor race problems in a fair, square and sincere way, the larger problems may pretty well be depended upon to take care of themselves. Some of them are more imaginary than real, anyway, and since everything is relative, if the so-called minor problems are settled right—and they will stay settled if they ARE settled right—the problems we now call large will be that much easier of sensible adjustment. And at all events, the way to approach the vital matter of bringing about further harmonious, sympathetic and intelligent understanding between the races is to approach men of thought in both races through those leaders in whom they have faith and confidence; and since the ministers of Atlanta have elected to work along that line, they are working plainly along the road most promising of success. The Georgian desires to express its good wishes to both organizations. bursery every business person in the entire community. Provision has been made for a Woman's Auxiliary and Junior Department, the latter having memberships for those between 16 and 21 years of age. Besides permanent headquarters and an executive secretary, it is proposed to conduct an extensive publicity campaign of education, in order that the people may see the advantage of co-operatin in business progress.

MEXICO CITY, Mex.—Editor Linton: I wish to congratulate the writer of the editorial, "Small Souls," which appeared in the "Whip" on the 25th of this month. To tell the truth, the "Whip" is the best paper that comes from the states. To make such a selection is not an artificial standard of greatness, or to claim it great because I am writing you as the editor of the publication. It is simply to recognize a literary genius deep thought, the special make-up and faculties that make a newspaper great. The editorial was sound minded, hopeful, confident of the validity of liberty, tenacious of the deeper principles of world institutions, but with the old rashness schooled and sobered by instinct tempered by instruction. Yours, John Osk Jeane. CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—Dear Editor: I agree with you on the stand you are taking in regard to the Hyde Park housing comedy staged last week. Your paper denotes true Americanism, and am only sorry that some more of our leaders are neglectful in taking such a manly stand in behalf of the race. It has already been stated that we need men of your courage to represent us in the council chambers and halls of Congress. The old "hat-in-hand" Negro is undesirable with his own people, and some of our race leaders must go. What we want in public offices is younger blood and true principles of manhood. New Orleans, La., Oct. 21, 1919 To the Editor of The Whip, Chicago, Ill. On October the Seventeenth, I wired you of my having Osceola McKaine of New York City arrested for slander. His arrest was the result of a certain statement that had been reported to me he made in an address delivered by him at the Pythian Temple on October the Thirteenth. After his arrest several friends intervened in his behalf and stated to me that I had been misinformed as to the statements made by McKaine. McKaine, himself, during several interviews with me stated that he had made no statement derogatory to my character. I insisted on a written statement to this effect, but it appears as if McKaine's friends prevented him signing any statement. On October the Twenty-fourth, the case was called to trial. McKaine's attorney stated to the Court that McKaine was prepared to make a statement in open Court, denying having made any statement derogatory to my character. The District-Attorney referred the matter to me, and I prepared a written statement for McKaine to sign, which I herewith transmit to you with his signature attached thereto. Trusting you will give this matter publicity, and with best wishes, I am, Your very truly. WALTER L. COHEN, per C. C. B. New Orleans, La., October 24, 1919. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I made no such statements that could be so construed, and if he on any of his friends construed the statements made by me were derogatory to his honesty and integrity. I now make this statement that it was not my intention to do so as I said nothing derogatory to the character and good standing, or honesty and integrity of Walter L. Cohen.
