Chicago Whip

CAREY AND MORRIS ARE ELECTED FIRST ON THE STREET "THE WHIP" 15 G COL. DENISON DEFEATED IN CLOSE RACE Vote Very Light On Account of Cold Weather The most important election in Illinois for the last half century has reached its climax. The people of the 3rd senatorial district are complimenting themselves in the election of the Hon. E. H. Morris and the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, Col. Franklin A. Dennison, the battle scarred veteran and the ablest candidate in the first senatorial district was defeated by a very small margin. VOTE VERY LIGHT. On the early morning the sun sent down beaming rays that gave promise of a pleasant day and a heavy vote, but the frigid winds from Lake Michigan blew so strong and continuously that the humid air was almost precipitated into snow. Thus the voters refused to rally and the ambition of the candidates was vanished. CANDIDATES PROUD: All of the candidates, including Col.Dennison are the happy recipients of hundreds of telegrams and congratulatory phone messages. Dr Carey who is styled as the fighting "parson" said that he thanked his supporters and friends and that he would not be reluctant in his endeavors to compensate them by taking a man's stand to see to it that the spirit of Lincoln and Lovejoy be a controlling factor in the framing of the new constitution. Ed Morris when approached by a Whip reporter said that if there are any jokers presented that abridged the rights of any citizen to enjoy the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States that he would surely run it down. Colored Man Beats Jim Corbett Ties Hands and Fixes Ex-Champion to a Post. James J. Corbett, ex-heavy weight Champion, sometimes known as gentleman Jim was seen in a fistcuff with Noble Johnson, colored. This affair happened Sunday night at a Loop Theatre. The colored man with a gang of rowdies and thugs pounced upon Corbett and tied him to a post and Johnson led the assaults. Kind readers this appeared on the screen in the 10th episode of the "Midnight Man." Noble Johnson, the famous colored actor does this stunt because it's in the play. Old Jim Corbett is the midnight man. Johnson looks so much like a Caucasian that few people, were aware of the fact that Ethiopia was stretching forth her hands. Dispute Over Pecans Leads to Double Killing Special to the Whip, Nov. 4.

McClain has been released on bond pending a hearing. 700 Already Pledged to Purchase---Citizens Sieze Opportunity to Work in Unison A great mass meeting was held Monday Evening, oNv. 3, at Bethel Church for the purpose of organizing a gigantic cooperative store. The purpose of such a store is to conserve colored capital and to encourage intelligent business venture. Alderman Jackson with keen analysis of the proposition pointed out the comparative advantages and disadvantages of such enterprise. The Alderman proved the need of such a movement. ATTACKS SHWARTZ. The Alderman also showed how the German Jew Shwartz had gotten rich of colored people in the utcher business and when he became Alderman was a moving factor in the Hyde Park Segregation scheme. Jackson took a stand against segregation and stated that the colored people would fatten no more frogs for snakes. That they should support their own business and that in the long run the white man would be compelled to respect their right. PEOPLE EAGER TO PLEDGE SUPPORT After Warren Douglas has affixed their O. K' to Alderman Jackson's remarks, Miss Caroline Sparrow and Messers Farmer, Walker, Gillespie and others made inspiring suggestions. Everybody was eager to sign pledge card and about 700 pledged themselves to buy shares at 85 each. The spirit of the entire cooperation forbids the issue of over 5 shares to anyone prson. Several individuals were peeved because they could not buy moer. A step in the right road. Escapes After Being Sentenced to 6-Yr. Term James Crenshaw, colored breaks away from Deputy Sherriff. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 6.—Ten minutes after he had been sentenced in Corporation court to serve six years in the state penitentiary for housebreaking, James Crenshaw, aged 19, yesterday afternoon made a break for liberty and up to a late hour had not been apprehended. Crenshaw was being led from the court room with seven other prisoners who had just been sentenced, to the city jail, when he made a dash over Cove St. and in a few minutes was lost from view. Sheriff Charles Tumbleson, who was in charge of the party, decided that if he attempted to catch Crenshaw he would do it at the expense of losing the other seven, so he marched the latter to the city jail and then immediately gave the alarm. Police were at once sent on the trail of Crenshaw, but no trace of him could be found. Crenshaw was convicted of having burglarized a house in this city last August and stealing clothes valued at 75.00. He had been out on bail and following his conviction in court yesterday his lawyer made a motion for a new trial. The search for him will be continued. Brusseaux Captures Forger S. A. Brusseaux, the Hainkshaw of the Southside, once more in his battle against crime and vice scored a success by trailing a forger all the way to Detroit and bringing him back to the bar of Justice. JAPANESE ATTACK PRE- SENT EVILS Deplores Injustice Towards Colored and Plead for Fair Play Special to Whip. Nov. 4 Yamato Times says: "Americans always have on their lips the words liberty, equality, justice and humanity, and unceasefully interfere in the affairs of other countries, acting, they say, on those watchwords. Indeed, they act as if they were under a presidential mission of propagating the principle of justice and humanity. Yet it is known to the world that Americans are ill treating negroes, entirely violating the principles of liberty, justice, justice and humanity. This fact is most effectively proved by the race riots in Washington and Chicago. "According to those well informed on the American political situation, the motive in focusing public opinion in America, with the senate as a center, on the league and Shantung questions is to divert popular attention for the purpose of taking measures toward Mexico. As a matter of fact some capitalists in America hope that America will obtain the league of nations' mandate for the rule of Mexico. Others say that Mexico may be made semi-independent in order that she may be led and directed at the will of America. Still others contemplate the annexation of the whole of Mexico. It is said that the American government will shortly decide on its policy toward Mexico. Is this not a startling state of affairs?" The Yamato says that America has acquired the Philippines and Cuba from Spain and California from Mexico and continues: "American capitalists are increasing their activities in Mexico. There are even indications to show that their activities accentuate the complication of the situation in Mexico. They now propose to rob Mexico of her independence. This is casting off the clergyman's garb to reveal the wolf. If America is charged with prosecuting a policy of aggression against a neighbor much in the same way as Germany did, it will be difficult for America to explain away the situation effectively. "Do not say that as there is the Monroe doctrine Asiatics should look on and allow America to do as she pleases. Fortunately we have the league of nations, and the powers should conquer the aggressiveness of America in the same way as they defeated Germany." Boston Papers Make Plea for Legal Fair Play (Boston Herald) Ordinary justice requires that the individual Negro, precisely as the individual white man, should be treated for just what he is regardless of his race or the color of his skin. If he is honest and lawabiding, he should be treated accordingly, for those are the things he is responsible for—not his race or color. The average, normal Negro, north or south, deserves credit and appreciation for what he has made of himself, in spite of all handicaps; and the worst specimen of his race is not so great a disgrace to civilization as the white mob that hunts him, lynches him and drags his dead body thru the street. INDIANS OPPOSE JIM CROW LAWS Want Freedom and Liberty and Refuse to be Segregated Three hundred members of the American Society of Indians, in annual convention at Minneapolis, voted for the abolition of the U. S. government Indian Bureau. The reasons given by speakers are that Indians should be regarded the same as other American citizens and do not need supervision. A remarkable thing in connection with this pronouncement is the fact that the editor of THE APPEAL, in a wire to the President just before he left for the Peace conference at Paris, in December, 1918, suggested the same idea in reference to the American Indian. J. C. E. Eastin; Amherst, Masa, president of the organization, in an address said the Indians were not understood; and would not be in the United States, until an Indian is president. Even the American Indian, who was robbed of his country by the Caucasian, sees the menace of segregation, to which so many colored men are indifferent; and, some, actually claim desire. Through the influence of certain prominent colored men a "Negro" bureau was established in the Department of Labor, as a war measure. The war is over and it should be abolished. Cut out the word "negro" in the government service. If all citizens, regardless of race or color, are not subject to identical conditions before the law, then American democracy is a fake. 68 Killed, Many Wounded ---Object to British Rule By A. M. COMBRIXO. Special Correspondent to the Whip. ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, No.8, 8. hTe British bulldog is having everything but an easy time in eradicating the desire for independence among the Egyptians. Abdul Khedive, Alla Buckwa, two leaders in the Egyptian national independence movement, were holding a public demonstration in one of the city squares. No attempt was made at first by the authorities to check the revolutionary leaders, but when thousands of natives received with clamorous applause the message of these martyrs, the police attended to break up the meeting. Many Killed. As soon as the British hirelings attempted to disburse the crowd several sticks, bottles and all conceivable weapons found their way to the domes of the police. Seeing no other way to checkmate the revolutionary determination, the police fired several shots, killing Khedieve and Buckwha and wounding several others. At this instant an alarm was turned in and several hundred police reserves camp to the scene of disorder. Natives Reinforced. Natives Reinforced. A general battle insued when the natives came to aid their leaders. It is said that the battle lasted for three hours, and when the smoke cleared away 68 had breathed their last. Forty of this number were natives, the remaining were policemen. The special correspondent to the Whip says the spirit of the revolution will never die. 18 HOLES IN BODY, STILL LIVES Henry Boothe Shot in Tenn Jail---Accused of Insulting Southern Belle Special to the Whip. HUMBOLDT, Tenn., Nov. 8.—According to the reports from Wilson Hospital, of this city Henry Booth, a colored man, who was shot by a mob of southern citizens after he had been arrested and imprisoned. Is still struggling for life. Shot Eighteen Times Booth was shot eighteen times and his body perforated with bullet holes, but with a grim determination to live and a desire to plead his cause Booth still clings on the filmesy thread of life that separated him from the other world. Booth smiles and raves over the justice of Tenn. He in his delirium cries out 'They didn't give me a chance'. They murdered me in the dark'. Accused Of Insulting Southern Belle. Booth was accused of making insulting remarks to the wife of a young Humbold man. The young wife is high in social circles and is in a hysterical condition over the affair. Booth denies even ever having seen the "Belle" and strongly insisted on being identified. The answer was the mobs instruction on the jail and the rain of lead from their infernal wepons. NAKED MAN DASHES FOY LIBERTY Despite Handicap Mooney's Greyhounds Apprehend Swift Delivery Boy N. O., La., Nov. 5.—The man who didn't care about being in the cavalry for fear his horse might get in his way when he decided to retreat, had nothing on Thomas Christmas, former colored delivery boy for the Albert Mackie Grocery Company, who was arrested Friday and charged with stealing a barrel of sugar and one of salt meat from the grocery concern. Christmas did not want anything in his way when the police called at his home, 1227 So. Liberty street. Five full-sized cops followed him in a race through Howard avenue to Freer street and the New Basin, where he was captured wearing the suit in which he was born, slightly stretched, but otherwise intact. Minister Refuses to Lay Bible Down Middletown, O., Nov. 4. — Rev. Walter Jolly, pastor of the Church of Triumph, was interrupted in his preaching last night by neighbors who told him that his ouse, on Baltimore street, was on fire. He went to the scene and, finding the house in flames, and beyond saving, he returned to his congregation and continued his sermon. The house was destroyed. VERY LATEST BULLETINS VERY LATEST BULLETINS Col. Franklin A. Dennison charges his defeat to fraud. No one doubts the Col. He is a man who never hollows. You fought a good fight. What's the difference if you did loose. Harvey Saunders did his own detective work and caught the five year old bandit who cleaned his cash register. The I. and R. went over with a large plurality. Hon. Oscar De Priest says he will not be a candidate for Alderman next spring unless he changes his mind. All of the Bond issues for City and County received big majorities. This means a bigger and better Chicago. If you have property you better hold it; values will increase. Reports show that Republican party is to shape the destinies of the nation for the next four years. It elected 4 governors out of four contests. Our alderman will still be elected every two years according to the latest election returns. Th National Baptist convention have completed their army to raise $5,000,000.00 for education. A big undertaking. What is the difference. There are big brain and hearts at the helm. South Carolina's American Legion Assails N. A. A. C. P. No Uplift Organization for Colored to be Allowed. By the Enterprise Press. Columbia, S. C. Nov. 5.—Resolutions were adopted last night to the effect that the state of South Carolina had no room for the colored uplift organization of I. W. W. The state convention of the American Legion, was emphatic in their denunciation of the crisis and the spirit of the N.A.A.C.P. movement, which would wake up the colored people and cause them to be economic factors to be contended with. It was skilfully argued by the ex-soldiers who have returned from the battle fields of France that the colored man must be 'kept in his place' and that the American legion did not propose to allow any agency to give him uplift or broaden his vision but that he must be left alone. It also said that the association was referred to by another speaker as an I. W. W. S. Sue Carolina did not want further race injustice, and any uplift or advancement movement by colored people would cause resentment by the whites. The American Legion is being criticized all over the country because of this southern and un-American stand. The colored ex-soldiers in Carolina are planning an indignation meeting and will submit a platform to the white contingency with the view in mind that the conscience of the southern soldier will be awakened to a greater sense of Americanism. England to Use Bombs on the Indians SIMLA, India.—Airplane bombs are to be used against the tribes of Waziris and Mahsuds in Afghanistan unless the tribesmen discontinue the continual attacks on British posts and convoys and raids into British territory. Representatives of these tribes have been summoned to British headquarters to hear the British ultimatum. Six brigades of infantry, together with artillery and cavalry detachments, are being employed in the operations under Maji-Gen. Climo. Don't Read the "Whip" If You Are a "Half Man" PRICE FIVE CENTS ARKANSAS JURY BREAKS RECORD Nearly a Hundred Cases Yet To Be Tried. The juries in the Arkansas riot have taught the mob a new lesson in speed. When it comes to dispensing with Negroes accused of crime. Never before in the history has there been such a wholesale conviction without deliberation. Out of 107 indictments 15 cases have been turned over to the jury. Seven men were convicted the first day in eight minutes and the second day it is alleged that 8 men were convicted in seven minutes. No Whites Indicted. The most alarming phase of the whole procedure is that out of the many colored people killed and wounded by white thugs there has not uptodate been a single indictment or conviction against a white man. The colored people are very indignant. The feeling is ripping very high accoaching to reports by a Special Whip correspondent. If there is not a disposition on the part of of the authorities to deal more fair with the colored people further blood-shed is expected. A New Discovery. It is said that during a special investigation by the friends of the white lawyer whom the colored people employed to look after the legal aspects of their business, that the sheriff deputized every white man who applied and equipped them with revolvers and ammunition, this is an excuse to allow them to give vent to their primitive emotions and at the same time to hide behind the breast works of the law.

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.

Gentlemen:—Enclosed find...for ...month's subscription. Name... Chicago Ill., Oct. 29th, 1919 Hon. Victor Lawson, Editor, The Chicago Daily News, Chicago, Ill. Dear Siv: I notice an editorial in your issue of October 27th, entitled "City Homes For Colored People." Your editorial policy in the past has been fair and satisfactory to the people of my race. They have pointed with pride to your newspaper as being the one Metropolitan daily that has consistently stood for equal opportunity, justice and fair play for all peoples, irrespective of race, creed, color or religion. Your editorials have been read with pleasure by the people of my race and very highly prized. Negro newspapers have selected them as models of real American sentiment and have printed them verbatim in order that they may be read by large numbers of our people and appreciated in the spirit of hope for a better understanding between the races; but, the views and suggestions expressed in your editorial of October 27th are inconsistent with your former editorial policy, irreconcilable with the spirit of fair play, and cannot be accepted by the people of my race. While we agree that "denunciatory talk saturated with racial prejudices and misunderstanding cannot settle anything, and we also agree that "self-respecting colored people do not desire trouble with their white fellow citizens, we most emphatically deny that self-respecting colored people are willing to accept any plan of "neighborhood exclusiveness," as suggested in your editorial, solely upon the basis of color. You refer to the member of our race who met the Hyde Park Committee of whites on last Friday evening as a "representative Negro." We must have you distinctly understand that the colored people of Chicago have never delegated to any man or set of men the authority to represent them in any meeting which has for its purpose the colonization of colored people, or any plan of "neighborhood exclusiveness" upon the basis of color. And they never will. You suggest that "A solution of the problem of building is in process through the operation of building and loan associations and kindred organization that seek to provide Negroes with the kind of homes they need in localities where they will not be unwelcome." Our answer to that suggestion is that the individual, and not a building and loan association, has the exclusive right to determine for himself the kind of home he needs as well as the location of the home; and the question of being welcome or unwelcome is a question of fact, and depends largely upon the mental attitude of the neighborhood towards colored people. There are many, very many, sections of this city where colored people are living, and have been living for years, in respectable white communities under conditions of perfect peace and harmony and good will. We must insist upon the right of the individual to determine the kind of home he needs and the location of such home, because in reaching his decision in the matters he must take into consideration such subjects as his work and station in life; the particular fine of occupation he follows; the distance of his place of employment/from the residence section of the city; the possibility of securing a desirable home upon terms consistent with his earning capacity; transportation facilities with reference of his place of employment or of business, as well as to the down town district of Chicago; the education of his children, and many other considerations too numerous to mention. And, in view of the foregoing and of the rapid increase of the numbers of our people, there is a consequent increased demand for homes presently, and the individual has not the time, nor the inclination, perhaps, to ascertain whether or not he may be welcome in any given community. The controlling idea is a present, suitable place to live. The housing problem in its relation to the race question is a delicate question and should be viewed from a broad perspective. If houses are to be built and housing facilities increased, why not extend the operation throughout the city—why not build a house wherever it may be needed, and sell it or rent it upon demand, and in accordance with the law of supply and demand without regard to race or color? In this way the so called housing problem would solve itself and the so called race problem would settle itself, automatically. In a strip of territory three blocks wide, embracing Wabash Avenue, State and Dearborn Streets, bounded on the North by 26th Street and on the South by 63rd Street, there are 1050 flats occupied by some 5000 white persons. This territory is known as the "black belt." Suppose the Negroes insist upon the whites moving out of these flats merely because their skins are white, and that force and violence be used in an effort to drive these whites from their homes? Would this help solve the race problem? One of the greatest difficulties in this whole situation is the attempt of certain whites to employ eighteenth century methods in the solution of twentieth century problems. The old Negro has passed away. The new Negro is here today, and is imbued with the new spirit of freedom. He will never consent to any form of segregation, nor any kind of treatment different from that accorded other race groups in this country. And no housing association or any other kind of organization need ever attempt to "provide the Negroes with the kind of homes they need in localities where they will not be unwelcome," as suggested in your editorial, because you ought to know now and for all time to come that the people of my race will determine for themselves the kind of homes they need without the assistance of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Association or any other body, and will live in decent and suitable locations whether it be Hyde Park or Lincoln Park. Very respectfully yours, JAMES G. COTTER, 145 N. Clark Street Colored People Forced to Leave Old Kentucky Home. Several Whites Killed and Many of Both Races Injured. CORBILL, Ky., Nov. 4. — Avered because colored people were getting prosperous and because several alleged robberies had been made on whites, the farmers for a hundred miles around forced colored people to leave their homes. The whites numbered many thousands, while only 200 colored lived in Corbin. After a bitter fight, and after several whites had been killed, the colored people were finally overcome and forced to begin a pilgrimage. 'It is said that many thousands of dollars are owed to the colored men and that they are planning to begin suit in the federal court. Hopeful of Early Solution. The Commission on Race Relationships appointed by Governor Lowden, consisting of Edgar A. Bancroft, chairman, Julius Rosenwald, Victor F. Lawson, Harry Eugene Kelly, William Scott Bond, Edward Osgood Brown, George Cleveland Ball, Edward H. Morris, Robert S. Abbott, Adelbert H. Roberts, George H. Jackson, L. K. Williams, make the following statement to the public: "Reports to the Chicago Commission on Race Relationships, appointed by Governor Lowden, indicate a continued state of unrest in neighborhoods where white and black people live. While these reports are free from alarming indications, they are of such a nature as to cause the Commission to urge co-operation of the public in quieting a deplorable tendency. "We feel it the duty of members of both races to be calm, patient and tolerant. Our Commission is carefully investigating the causes of the calamity which overtoow our city last summer. We hope to be able in due course to suggest means by which another such disgrace may be avoided. "We urge all itizens to aid us in our work by discouraging any attitude or language that tends to racial hostility." Segregation and at Cost. By J. Madison Pace The question of providing proper housing facilities for the negro residents of Chicago in order that they may be less tempted to seek quarters in residential localities heretofore occupied by white citizens is one that vitally affects all members of society. The stability of real estate values in the south side district north of 63d street will in the future depend upon the proper solution of this problem. After having made a careful survey of the conditions prevailing in the district bounded by 22d, State, 55th and Halsted streets and holding numerous conferences with some of the leading negro professional and business men and members of bodies created to study this question I am convinced that the por housing conditions is one of the principal causes for the invasion of the white districts. Would Rebuil District. Either the state of Illinois of the municipality of Chicago thru a properly constituted commission could permanently correct this condition by financing the rehabilitation of this entire district on a comprehensive basis, so that it might be completely renovated. Old buildings modernized and new buildings erected where necessary, giving to the residents of the north end homes embodying all modern conveniences within the reach of the families with moderate means, and replanning the south end of the district so that the more prosperous colored man might erect a $10,000 $20,000 or $20,000 residence or apartment and have the benefit of zoning restrictions and regulations that would insure stability of the district as a residential community. Homes at Cost. The district should be provided with adequate parks and playgrounds, modern grammar schools, high schools and vocational institutions, and the plan should be sufficiently elastic to permit the head of a family to purchase his home at actual cost to the state or municipality and pay for it on the amortization plan covering a period of twenty to thirty years. A plan worked out in this way would, in my opinion, be welcomed by the negroes, and within a short time after it was put into operation there would be no incentive for them to seek residential quarters in communities occupied exclusively by white people. Eugene V. Debs at Point of Death in Federal Pen. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Eugene V. Debs, national leader of the Socialist party, is at the point of death in the federal penitentiary, Atlanta, where he is serving a ten-year term for violation of the espionage law, according to a statement issued today by the Amalgamated Clothing oWrkers' Union. A breakdown of heart action is said to have brought the veteran Socialist leader to death's door. He is said to have been removed from his cell to the prison hospital. Debs was taken from the Moundsville, W. Va., prison to Atlanta shortly after his term began. Objected to White Farmer Passing Him. lence.

DANVILLE, Va., Nov. 5—Julius Mills, a negro farmer of aswell country has been sentenced to serve thirty days in jail and to pay a fine of $50 for shooting at James D. Poteat, a prominent farmer of Yanceyville, N.C., when the latter overtook him in an automobile on the highroad near Danville. Poteat was driving here to superintend the sale of tobacco and blew his horn when he overtook Mills who was journeying in a wagon. The negro paid no attention at first, but suddenly drew a pistol and swinging round levelled it at the white man, ancoPrtt ceashremfvbgkxzxvbxvvm. Poteat trailed the wagon until he could pass him at a broad stretch in the road. As he did so the negro fired. Policemen met Mills when he arrived in Danville and found him under the influence of liquor. While the shooting episode took place without the jurisdiction of this state Magistrate R. S. Pitts imposed the fine on the negro for carrying a concealed weapon which was found on him near the city when he was arrested. HELENA, Ark., Nov. 4.—Trial of murder and assault to murder charges against more than 100 negroes for alleged participation in the recent race disturbances near Elaine, a small town in the southern part of this county! was scheduled to begin in Circuit court here today. There was every indictment that attorneys for both sides would announce themselves ready to proceed to trial. Cases of eighteen defendants were expected to be taken up today. In addition to the cases against the negroes, two attorneys, O. S. Bratton and G.F. Casey, face charges of burglary in connection with the disturbances which have been officially characterized as an armed uprising and which resulted in the killing of five white persons, a score of negroes and the dispatch of federal troops to the scene. The cases against the attorneys, it was said today, probably will not be reached until later in the term. The Elaine disorders broke out the night of Sept. 30, when a posse sent by the sheriff to arrest a white man, stopped to repair their motor car near a country church, where armed negroes were meeting secretly. Apparently believing members of the posse were cavesdropping, the negroes opened fire. One deputy was killed and another wounded. Firing then became general between the negroes and posse members. When word of the affair reached Helena, re-enforcements were sent the possemen. Further sanguinary fighting took place, and at Gov. Charles H. Brough's request, 500 federal troops were sent to Elaine from Camp Pike. The troops remained there a week and several fights with negroes took place. Large quantities of arms and ammunition were seized by civil and military officials, indicating, the authorities said, that the negroes had planned an uprising of large proportions. Lynching Discredits United States. Dorothy Garfield Fisher Says Europe Disgusted.

Her letter follows: Arlington, Vt., Oct. 24.

I have no need to say anything to you, of course, about the horrible wrongs involved in letting lynching go on, as you must know more about that than we do, and must feel quite as deeply as all the rest of the Vermonters who are looking anxiously for your action in the matter. But as one just returned from three years in France, I can perhaps present to you, from much first-hand experience, some idea of the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe. The whole nation is discredited and disgraced, and every word we say about human rights and civilization is laughed at by Europeans who know of the lynching evil in our country. It would to some extent redeem our national honor—even before the Federal Investigation could actually accomplish anything—to have it known that we took the disgrace seriously enough to take national abtion about it. With the keenest hope that you may be instrumental, and Vermont through you, in heping put an end to this national horror, I am, Sincerely yours. (Signed) DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER.

State St. Dept B33 CHICAGO, ILL., U. S. A. --- THE WORLD OF SPORTS [Name] JIM VANCE. The Union Giants Beat Cornell A. C. Score: 7—0. American Giants Pk., Sunday, Nov. 2. Union Giants clearly demonstrated that the team that beats them will win the Chicago Football League Championship. Cornell A. C., one of the strongest teams in the League went down to defeat but nos disgrace, by a very tight score of 7—0. The Union Giants, the strongest colored team that ever was organized for professional Football. Mgr. Peters took no chances and used al his regulars. As nine of Cornell regulars were former all star big ten men. Playing a brand of Football that had the crowd on its toes every minute of the game. The teams went into the last quarter scoreless. When Bluitt, Union Giants right guard snatched up the pig-skin from a block kick and ran twenty-five yards for touch-down. Work of the Union iGants line was a revaluation to the crowd with the exception Lowlar, former Minnesota all American full back, the visitors were unable to pierce the Union Giants wall, in fact, time after time their line plunges resulted in losses of one or two yards. Lewis, Ward, Thompson, McGee and other linemen were in on every play, often tacking the runner from behind. Open play was at a premium, as only once during the agme did any one get away for read run in the third quarter. Bluit broke away for thirty yard run, the longest individual gain of the octest. The Giants tried four forward passes, two of them being intercepted and two going astray while Cornells attempts at the overhead game were limited to two unsuccessful efforts. The two teams played as clean a game as any college elevens are capable. The fierceness of the struggle necessitated numrous (time outs) for both teams; outside of this there were no serious mishaps. Tuskegee Swamps Industrial High, 79-0. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Nov. 1.—Tuskegee Institute opened her football season here last Saturday and by a score of 79 to 0 defended the Industrial High School of Birmingham, Alabama. Tuskegee decidedly outclassed the visitors in every department of the game, and should have, because of her advantage in weight and careful training in the fine points of the game, piled up an even larger score. In five minutes after the ball had been put in play Nofles went around right end for a touchdown. It did not take the home team long to uncover the fine attack of the High School boys and they were therefore prepared for any surprise the visitors might have attempted to spring. The Tigers used straight football during the first half, their line of attack being line plunges and end runs, and were able at all times to gain consistently with apparent ease. In the second half a few aerial executions were tried out with success. Boss, a new man, called signals and he ran the team remarkably well. Smith, Cooley, Finley, Casterman, obnson and Hill, also new men in berths "higher up," did good work, each one of the backfield going over for one or more of the touchdowns. Nofles, Captain, Dixon, Myers, Williams and Baker, have seen previous service and were expected to stand out, and they did, playing in form. Hockenhull, Hawkins, W. Cooley, Kitchen, Dallas, Barnes, Anderson and Street, substitutes, and of course, eager "watchful waiters," were sent in during the third and fourth periods and acquitted themselves creditably. Hockenhull played a fast and aggressive game and went over for a touchdown. The visitors had a scrappy little team with several clever tacklers and they took their defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. The contest accorded Mr. James Gayle, director of athletics an opportunity to try out, even though no man had to extend himself to the limit, the variety of material which he has assembled, and the prospects for a successful football season are exceedingly bright. Howard and Lincoln to Play in Philadelphia National League Park, Thanksgiving Day. Lincoln University, Pennsylvania. Through the strenuous efforts of Manager Atkins, the Philadelphia National League Baseball Park was secured from President Baker for the Thanksgiving Day game. First time in the history of the two schools the game has been scheduled to be played in Philadelphia, and the Alumni of both schools are sparing no pains for the reception of the throng which is expected to come out on "Turkey Day" to witness the game. For the past week Lincoln has been indulging in strenuous workouts, although there are several injured men on the list. The attend-injured men on the list. The abundance of material makes it possible to give the men a good fifting spirit and no one is sure of his position. Hard and fast scrimmages between teams A and B which are of equal caliber, have been indulged in throughout the week. Tackling practice, blocking, breaking up of special formations, skillful line work, blackboard talks, furnish the nucleus for the week's workout. On Thursday the week's workout. On Thursday, for an hour, the team ran signals in the rain, thereby affording good practice for handling of wet ball to prevent fumbling. With the fast heavy backfield of this year, it will be rather har for any team to stop the Lincoln team on any kind of field. Special attention has been given to interference, making holes and picking of holes this past week. Mock scrimmages are indulged in daily. Scott has replaced Newman at center and may be kept there the rest of the season. With Green and McLain, the two stars on the injured list, Nix and Berrien have come into the limelight. The freshman, Thompkins, is making such a good showing that either of te ends may be replaced at any momone. Johnson is still nursing an injured back; Peterz, an ankle. In the scrimmage today Law was gotten down from behind the lines and sustained an injured knee. All these men, however, expect to be in a pink of conditions for the hard game with Hampton, Saturday. Coahie Pollard, in pointing his team toward the Howard game, will have some tough articles to overcome with the Scholastics at Pittsburgh; with Union at Baltimore, with; Susquehanna at Sunbury, Pa., the only team to score on Colgate this year in successive Saturday preceding the Howard game. LINCOLN GIANTS AND GUY EM PY'S BREAK EVEN. New York, N. Y., Nov. 2.—Before the record crowd of the season Guy Empey's Treat 'Em Roughs and the Lincoln Giants divided honors Sunday at Dyckman Oval in the first two games of their series for the semi-professional championship of Manhattan. In the first game the Lincoln Giants battered Jess Barnes and Tesreau, former Giants, for fifteen hits, and won, 8 to 5. The second game which was called at the end of the fifth inning on account of darkness, was won by Empey's team, 6 to 1.

THE CHICAGO WHIP PORTS It is considered good form in our Elite photoplay joints to applaud the hero or the heroes on the screen. And yet, what you think of a human who applauded a book? Imagine, for instance, Miss Hellove A.Knote sitting in a street car reading a thrillish novel, suddenly she drops her book to the floor and claps her hands. Methinks the rest of the passengers would gaze upon her with a cold stony glare and say: "You never get that way on one-half of one per cent." Have You Read The Half-Cent The Foremost Peri The promising young man may be all right, but a paying one is better. Any lingering hope that the Chicago Cubs some day would move back to the old West Side grounds where they spent their golden days was blasted last week when Charles Webb Murpy, owner of the historic park, sold it to the state of Illinois for $400,000 in cash. The state will build a group of hospital buildings on the property. It contains slightly more than eight acres, fronts 588 feet on Polk street and 617 feet on Wood and Lincoln streets. When the National League was organized in 1876 the Chicago Club secured grounds on the lake front and later moved to a park at Harrison and Throop streets. A few years later the club moved to the grounds known as the West Side Park, where games were played until Charles Weeghman and associates bought the Cubs from Murphy and Taft, consolidated them with the Chifeds and moved to the Federal League Park on the North Side in Chicago.

Old West Side Grounds Sold. At the North Side Park the attendance has never been what it was when the Cubs played on the West Side, the grounds are small and have other disadvantages.

A straight-eyed Indian is bad enough, especially if he is playing football againsta you, but when you meet a cross-eyed Indian, good-night, nurse! Big Bill Hollenback was talking about a game he played against a Carlisle team in the days of Carlisle glory on the field. He was facing an Indian center whose eyes crossed at precarious angles, and Bill had a terrible time of it. "It was this way," said Bill. "I looked at that guy, trying to figure where he was going. I thought I had him right, but he crossed me up delightfully. He never went where his eyes looked, but he sure saw me, for he held a tribal council on my diaphragm on every other play. After the game I took off my hat to every cigar store Indian in Philadelphia. Habit with Hod Eller. Just as he bunched his strikeouts against the Chicago White Sox in the World's series, so did Hod Eller have a habit of bunching them during the National League season, but never to the extent of whiffing six in a row. Five was his limit during the season. That record was made against the Boston Braves on July 8. Eller's shine ball was working perfectly at Boston that day and in the fifth and sixth innings he retired Neff, Riggert, Rawlings, Powell and Cruise on strikes, one after the other. Two men whiffed in the fifth, three in the sixth. Twice during 1919 did the Sox cast off fan four men in a row, his first stunt of this kind being turned at Pittsburgh, on July 25 and his second at Philadelphia a month and a day later. At Chicago, on June 24, in the second inning, Eller struck out Merkle, Magee and Paskert, one after the other, and on his home lot, on August 3 he fanned three Giants—Burns, Chase and Gonzales—in the ninth inning, that being the only one he pitched against them. However, these strikeouts were not consecutive. Eller fanned 135 men the past season, 31 Cardinals, 22 Phillies, 21 Cybs, 20 Superbas, 13 Braves, 14 Giants and 9 Pirates falling before him. Jack Miller, Bert Shotton and Dude Paskert each was retired on strikes five times. The Greatest Boner of Modern Baseball. Hank O'Day, the National League umpire, who caused Fred Merkle to become famous over night because of the latter's failure to touch second in that historic game in 1908, which cost the Giants a pennant, now comes to bat with another "bone" play pulled in the recent Series, and he noted something that caused considerable comment in the press box at the time. The play happened in the third inning of the seventh game. John Collins was on second, Eddie Collins on first, nobody out and Weaver at bat. Weaver hit to short for a cinch double killing. Kopf fielded the ball, touched second, retiring Eddie Collins, then tried to throw to first, but Eddie Collins blocked him, and the ball went wild.

By Jim Vance. Rigler, the umpire at second base, ruled Eddie Collins had interfered, and the double play was allowed. John Collins went to third base and was allowed to remain there, despite the fact that the rules are specific that no runner can advance in case of interference. John Collins should have been sent back to second base, but four umpires Manager Moran and 20-odd Cincinnati player overlooked this well-known rule. It was surely a bone play, but because the Reds won the Series, it will not go down into history as was the case with Merkle. "A FRIEND."

New York—Once more the cycle of years has borne the multitude of members of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America and throughout the world around to the Annual Week of Prayer. Beginning Sunday, Nov. 9, every day of the entire week is to be a day of special prayer for the young men and boys of the city and country. In the General Associations and at the various branch association meetings will be held and prayers offered in thanksgiving for the success of the work, for future guidance and the influencing of young men to accept Christ as their personal Saviour, ideal and friend through life. The Protestant church and its auxiliary organizations all agree that it is a good thing to hold at times special seasons of prayer to call attention to the wisdom and blessedness of being on Christ's side. At one of the branches of the Young Men's Christian Association about two years ago, during the Week of Prayer Services, four young men who had followed the association for years without much thought of the religious side of the work were greatly impressed by the earnestness of the secretary and the religious work committee in the conduct of the meetings, and before the week was out each of the four was happily converted. One of these young men is now the Boys' Work Secretary at the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Y. M. C. A.; another is the librarian of a large Sunday school, and the other two are active workers in the church. It is suggested that in every association the coming week, in groups and in general meetings, young men and boys prayerfully invited to become Christians, and also that at every such gathering during the week special prayers for guidance, wisdom and courage be made for the delegates and leaders at the Fortieth International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America, which meets at Detroit, Mich., from Nov. 19 to 23, inclusive. It is very fitting that the Week of Prayer precedes the International Convention. The officials and delegates will no doubt carry with them to this great meeting many rich spiritual thoughts and experiences as a result of the Week of Prayer. The call for the general observance of the Week of Prayer was issued by Chairman Alfred E. Marling of the international committee and Dr. John R. Mott, the General Secretary, who was at the head of all the Young Men's Christian Association war activities. The call in its first paragraph says: "On the authority of the last international convention, we call upon all Young Men's Christian Associations throughout North America, as well as upon the churches, to observe the period of Nov. 9 to 16, inclusive, as a Week of Prayer for young men. We issue this call with a profound sense of the supreme need at the present time of intercession on behalf of the young men and boys of the two greater sister Anglo-Saxon nations — the United States and Canada." Standards For Child. WASHINGTON, Oct., 25. As the result of conferences held in several cities last spring, the United States Children's Bureau has formulated "Standards for Child Welfare," which, it is stated, may be taken as an embodiment of the best expert opinion on the needs and rights of childhood. The bureau says these standards are the minimum and do not limit the degree of protection which an advanced state mihgt desire to give its children. Among other things they recognize that the protection of the child must begin with the protection of the motor, and that proper care be afforded her before, during and after childbirth. Emphasis is placed on the need for afamily income that will enable the mothers of young children to stay in the home, instead of going out to work, with consequent neglect of home and family. More and better schools, vocational schools, vocational guidance and training school lunches and medical supervision are the standards for school children. The standards for working children would put a stop to child labor in this country, it is stated. They include a minimum working age of 6 years, part-time compulsory continuation schools for working children between 6 and 18, and public responsibility for the health and general welfare of the working child. Abundant recreational facilities are included, as is provision for the care and training of "special" children—defectives, delinquents and dependants.

If you want more information about them ask the school doctor or nurse. Every child should have good air, good habits and good food. Children grow very rapidly during the period they are attending elementary school. They should, therefore, have enough to eat to supply the material necessary for proper development of the body and all its organs. They need three good meals a day and time enough to eat them in. For breakfast a child should have fruit of some kind, a cereal, egg, bread and butter, and a cup of milk or cocoa. It is better to give children dinner in the middle of the day. Dinner should consist of a thick vegetable soup, or meat, or chicken, or fish, two kinds of vegetables, one fresh such as spinach, peas, celery, beans, carrots, beets, and the other starchy, such as potatoes—white or sweet—rice, hominy or spaghetti, and a dessert. For supper, there should be a vegetable soup, or cereal, or egg, also milk, bread and butter, and a cooked fruit. A child requires a certain amount of liquid, and should, therefore, have Is Upheld By Jury. James Lassiser, Colored, Acquitted Of Shooting James Grary, Colored. Norfolk, Nov. 5.—In the trial in the Corporation court yesterday of James Lassister for shooting Augustus Grary, both colored, James, who had pleaded self defense, was showing the commonwealth's attorney how Augustus had stepped back and put his hand behind him just before he shot him. "Which hand did Augustus not behind him?" asked Mr. Shackleford. "His right han' sur," said James. "But you are putting your left hand behind you." objected the attorney. "Yes, sur, but I'z lef' handed," said the witness. The jury trying the case brought in a verdict of acquittal after a short deliberation. The statement of James as to the threatening attitude assumed by Augustus was substantiated by other testimony and was only contradicted by that of Augustus himself. Augustus was shot in the arm, and was painfully though not seriously wounded. The defendant's attorney was W. W. Elliott. News Item. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 1, 1919. Brother B. S.

Do not give your child tea, coffee, wine, beer or any alcoholic drink. Do not give a child highly spiced foods, such as pickles and herring. Do not give a child fried foods or heavy, greasy stews or gravies. A child should have at least two glasses of milk a day. Use only bottled milk for children. Do not feed between meals, except to give a piece of bread and butter, not cake, after school, if very hungry. A child should not take a drink when it has food in its mouth. It should eat slowly and chew the food thoroughly. The best way to accomplish this is to make the child remain at the table until you have finished with your meal. The principal articles of diet should be served warm or hot, and all the meal should be served in an appetizing way. With care you can teach a child to like every kind of food that it ought to have. So that it may not swallow dirt and dangerous germs, a child should be made to wash its hands before every meal. See that the dining room and kitchen are clean and free from flies.

The secret has leaked out that the real reason why the farmers were opposed to the daylight saving plan was that they were not able to get the roosters to adopt it. The he-chickens insisted on going to work on the old schedule. In open defiance of Congress, they refused to knock off the extra hour from their morning beauty sleep. So, under the new plan, instead of the roosters waking up the farmers, it became necessary for the farmers to wake up the roosters. This, quite naturally, aroused feelings of mutual antagonism. No farmer relishes the task of going out each morning while the moon is still riding high in the heavens and cuffing a barnyard full of roosters off the perch. So there was nothing to do but repeal the law.—Thrift Magazine. In Jewish marriages the bride stands on the right of the groom.

The telegram states that the Negro, representing one-seventh of the nation's labor supply, is becoming an increasing element in industry and that an extensive gimration of Negro labor is still in progress. The text of the telegram is as follows: Oct. 27, 1919. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully urges that in the event of a new or reorganized industrial conference a representative of the 12,000,000 colored people in the United States be appointed. It is submitted that Negroes constitute one-eventh of the nation's labor supply; that Negroes are becoming an increasing element in the industrial life of the nation; that there Las been and still si extensive migration of Negro labor; that the Negro migrant has been subject to unfavorable conditions, such as faced the immigrant from Europe, and that economic and other causes are shown in a report of the United States Department of Labor, "Negro Migration, 1916-17," to have caused the migration.

Baby Blues is a nice, clean, amusing play and all tho' is not quite up to "THIS AND THAT", it is very good and it does credit to the producers. Dink Steward and Lena's Roberts Star Dink Steward and Wash Wadson again played the Stella comedian role.

Mrs. Luckeyth Roberts, sometimes better and professionally known as Lena Roberts displayed her wonderful voice in great rendition of "Jewel of Nile" was excellent and highly appreciated. Alex Rogers was clever again in the role of Granny Wadson. The part was just naturally filled to Alex. He is one versatile Bird. Charles Woody's work was smooth, altho' not to his last weeks efforts. Ida Brown and Laura Bowman acted their parts well. Miss Brown's work in the narts is too effected and the naturalness desired is missing. She will get into it that later in the week. Jim Burris is a good side kick for Steward and played his part well. Burris is an excellent humorist and his slow drolling voice is an asset to the character he depicts. Estelle Cash was very smooth in her work as the village gossip but she showed to better advantage in her song and dance. She was very improved in her steps and was more graceful on her feet than in her former appearance. The songs were very good. "Baby Blues" is the song hit and it should make a popular scream.

Representatives ‘rom all parts of the country will be present at the inauguration and are to take port in the discussions of the Convress. ‘The program as formulated calls for a diseussion of national aad inter- national problems—(1) Health; (2) ‘Vhrift; (3) Child Welfare; 4) The Negro and the Church—(a) ‘The Sit- vation Abroad, (b) The Situation in America, (c) Co-operation of White and Negro Churchmen, (d) Socia!

It is expected that out of the Congress will grow the formulation of a program looking to the just set- tlement of the problems of recon- struction that relate’ particularly to the Negro, as indeed all the problems of reconstruction, more or less, of necessity include him. ‘Three sessions of the Congress are to be held: at 10 o'clock a, m., 2:30 c'elock p. m. and at 8 o'clock p. m. President Durkee will preside at the sessions of the Congress. The Chicago Colored Women’s Club.

Macon, Ga.—Eugene Hamilton, a Negro 29 years old was shot to death on a bridge near Monticello on the night of Nov. 7, after having been taken by a mob from Sheriif Middic brooks of Jones County. Hamilton had been sentenced to serve ten years for shooting a white man, Charles Tingle of Jasper Coun- ty. The charge was assault with in: tent to murder. He was confined in the county jail here for 2 yhile until his trial was held, Then after his con. viction he was taken to the jail at Gray Jones County, to await the de- cision of the Supreme Court, the case having been appealed. On the night of the lynehing Sheriff Middlebrooks at Gray heard that a mob was to attack the jail and take the prisoner. With three Deputies he started toward Macon with Hamilton, but was stopped by sixty armed men, who took Hamilton to Jasper County, where the lynching occurred. Governor Dorsey at the time voiced his disapproval of the lynching, but no arrests have been made. Urban League Reports Scar- city of Men Perhups for the first time since th. sudden opening up of new war in- dustries there is noted a remarkable scareity of colored men. The Chicego Urban League reports that hundreds of jobs are going unfilled and the Jemand for colored men exceeds the supply by an astounding margin, A iong list of industries opening their doors to Negroes foy the first time is on file in its industrial bureau. Recently this organization placed over 900 colored high and grammai school graduates in clerical positions at a large. mail order house in the ity.

Colored People Not After Social Equality Chattanooga, Tenn.—In a declara- tion of principles and_ policies, the Colored Baptist Euueational and Mis- sionary convention of Tennessee, in its concluding session at Chattanoox took an advanced step to bring about better relations between the races in America, Deploring the presence of danger- ous elements that appear to be mak- ing headway in creating distrust, the convention went on record in a reso- lution passed by the convention de- claring “that the idea of social equal- ity so often construed as underlying the activities of the Negroce for the rights and privileges of American citi- zenship are utterly foreign from what is desired by our people.” N.

Washington, D. €.—The purchasé of a tract 500 miles square in Mexico, bordering on the United States, for the formation of a Negro state ha: been submitted to the foreign vela- tions committee of both Houses ot Congress by Mr. M. M. Madden, Ne- gro attorney of Oklahoma City. Mad. den was named asshead of the project ata conferehee of the Free Wil Methodist Church (Negro) in St Louis last August. A sub-committee of both House has been named. to investigate th plan. The Carranza government is said to regard the project with fa vor. It is said the state of Texas wil donate a tract similar in size to that to be obtained from Mexico. Dr. Madden outlined a pian where by the Negroes would enjoy self. government, make their own laws, and be a free and independent na. tion.

Saunders, Druggist Robbed How Can They Miss Him When They Had Dead Aim? Sunday « rather shabby looking woman came into his store at 4750 So. State St. and questioned him ye- zarding the price of some patent rhetnaciim medicine, and on being told that the kind that she. desired would cost 5 cents, she. readilly changed her mid and decided that the only thing she needed was a two- cent stamp. This Mr, Saunders readily gave her ringing up two cents. He contented himself for the time being, but shortly after she left, ac- companied by a small boy, he found that some one had mysteriously walked away with about 885.00 that he had in his drawer near the cash register the proceeds of some money orders he had written in favor of some of his patrons, The police from the fourth precinct station came in and exainined the drawer and coneluded that the woman must have had an accomplice,who evidently was a small child five years of age who came to the store with her on several occasions, and woud imme- diately go behind the show case. How Could they Miss When They Had Dead Aim? And so they have no doubt aimed at Mr, Saunders for quite a long time, and struck him in his most vital spot, his pocket book. We hope however that the police will in n short time run these sneak thieves to their liar and capture them, ridding society of unifecessary perasites as well as di- recting their aim from Harvey B. Saunders to some other direction where the loss will not mean so much as in this particular case. Local News Items. By John Riley—A. F. of L.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. LIBERTY and ZERO HOUR. The world is seeking Liberty. The throbbing pulse of humanity beats the funeral dirge of slavery. The soul of teeming fettered millions cries out for Liberty. Liberty is the slogan of the world. The great uprisings that have thrown our diminutive planet into economic chaos have threatened to wreck the accumulated genius of the Human Mind can be traced directly to the irresistible impulse of Humanity, for Liberty an Freedom. The colored men in America dreamed dreams and saw visions. They have gazed upward into the Nocturnal Heavens and have worshipped the glittering stars. They have peered into the unclouded glory of Noonday Suns. The Stars and Noonday Suns and their dreams and visions awoke the music within their souls and they sang, from the plaintive melody of the slave to the syncopated tune of today. Music and star gazing is inspirational of poetry. The colored man became enthralled with the magic music and poetry of Nature. He forgot about Liberty and Freedom on earth. The Kaleidoscope turns again. The world was clutched by the grim fingers of war. Liberty was the American cry. Give the world Liberty, cried the Orators and Four-Minute Men. Before "Big Bettha" the German super-gun fired into Paris from a 60 mile outpost. The great desire for Liberty was fired into the heart of humanity by the hand of fate from the powerful dynamo of time. America caught it, she began her campaign for Liberty. There were Liberty drives, Liberty Meetings, Liberty speeches, Liberty Congresses, Liberty Bonds, Liberty Loans. The people began munching on a new food called Liberty bread. The famous Hamburger was renamed Liberty Loaf. America woke up. The colored people stoppgd singing and began to realize the potent element in material existence. Where do we come in on this liberty, they asked? The seed were sown, the war was over, we have awakened. We have minds, we are dissatisfied, WE WANT LIBERTY! The colored men are craving for Liberty. How can he get it? It will soon be zero hour, the hour for leaving the trench and climbing over the top. It will be zero hour in our battle for Liberty. How must we advance The philosophy of collective strength is well in hand. The consciousness of individual and racial pride. The idea of Chromo-filia, color love must be taught. Our training camps are the untravelled tracts of the colored mind. We must awake from the dream of the Half-man. We must realize that we are the capstones of evolutionary life. We are the acme of civilization. We are men. We are the equals, potentially and latently of the purest Anglo-Saxon in creation. We want Liberty. We wish to bee free from segregation and discrimination and color creed. We have aseked for it. We have prayed for it. We have been denied it. It is the Zero Hour in Negro thought. We must make our philosophy that of Martin Luther. On this rock we stand and can do none other. We must demand, by economic strength, Liberty in all avenues of life. We do not ask for equality, We demand it. We are not "baiting" the despised colored man. We are pointing him to high endeavor and great achievement. We are in the trench of American political and social slavery. It will soon be zero hour. Organization of finance, collective thinking, determined methods will be our forces. Let us prepare for Liberty and Zero Hour. THE CHICAGO WHIP GLANCING AT THE PROFITEER America is face to face with thousands of problems of national moment. We haven't the slightest doubt but that she will be able to ferret out a solution in time. A careful analysis of her tardiness in working out a solution is that the major ones go untouched or an investigation begins after they have reached their full growth. Among the many menacing problems today that faces the country, is THE HIGH COST OF PROFITEERS. The food profiteer, the rent profiteer, the labor profiteer, the eclesiastical profiteer, the social profiteer and hundreds of other profiteers. All of these profiteers are born of the same parent. Their methods are so camouflaged that only careful scrutiny will recognize the identity. Profiteering is not new. It is older than Government itself. It is more pronounced in America than any other country. There are many causes. The principal one is not on the surface. AMERICA HAS ALWAYS LAID MORE STRESS ON WHAT ONE HAS THAN THE METHODS USED TO OBTAIN. This unwritten but indelible idea permitted slavery and is the fundamental reason why America has not produced more real thinkers and statesmen. This idea has so saturated the mind of the average American that today it has almost crystalized into a revolution. All kinds of extortion or profiteering has a harmful reaction on the body politic. The most injurious and far reaching kind of profiteering is prejudicial profiteering. It is the one kind that has been allowed to run rampant. It has precipitated riots, lynchings and burnings. It has allowed Spissitudes to go to Congress. White men of the lowest mental and moral standing have made personal fortunes by capitalizing prejudice. Ben Tilman, Vardaman, John Sharp Williams were men who personally had no hatred for Negroes. Neither did they have any love for white men only as they could xploit them by appealing to their prejudice and in order to serve their own political ends. Capitalizing prejudice by white men has made it impossible almost for a Negro business or professional man to seek out a living, unless he use the same weapon. In one half of this Government, practically every man who holds office makes the purchase by appealing to the prejudice of his constituents. It is almost impossible for a constructive humanitarian thinker to hold office in the State or Church. Because they will not capitalize prejudice. They can lock into the archives of the future. They can foresee the evil consequences. There is more money made from the public in the south today by politicians and business men through prejudicial appeals than all of the traction barons can squeeze out of them in a century. If we expect a real remedy for pdofiteering which is sapping the vitals of the nation, it has to be gotten through the Government. It is impossible to effect a solution through this medium until the vilest kind of profiteers are excluded from the councils of our law making bodies. The New Negro has not only singled out the unscrupulous white men who with sinister motives have appealed to their prejudice and waxed fat, but they have turned the light of reason on the warped souled silver tongued orators of their own race who make them feel good on Sunday and sell them out on Monday. We have thrown them into the scrap heaps of yesterday. If all the White Workers' souls have not been contaminated beyond redemption with the doctrines of their misleaders who tell them that a white face is evidence of superiority. They will take cognizance of these facts. We will then be on the road to a peaceful and permanent solution of America's greatest and most expensive problem. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL. Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 1. APPRAISING THE NEGRO. In an interesting report to the bishop and members of the Atlanta conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which appears elsewhere upon this page, a conference committee deplores the nation-wide tendency of the times toward an appraisement of negro character according to standards set by the comparatively few criminals among the colored people. Unfortunately, the world is prone to measure the progress of the race and the status of its relationships toward the white race, not by the work of its better element, but by the criminal record of the bad. In other words, the tendency is to judge the negro people as a whole by the bad things they do instead of by their efforts in behalf of better citizenship. When a negro commits a crime—resulting, it may be, in a riot—that crime is widely exploited and reports of it go broadcast over the country. The better element of the race—vastly in the majority—may build churches, schools, establish thrifty, peaceful, law-abiding, decency-respecting farm communities and in many ways move upward on the ladder of good citizenship, as they are doing in all parts of the south, and little is said about it. But if one negro commits a crime, even in those very communities where the race as a whole is making a splendid progress, the world is put on notice, and the ninety-nine who are law-respecting citizens, and who are trying to improve the status of the race, are made to suffer. This form of injustice is being gradually remedied. Meanwhile, the advice of this conference committee to the race is well worth its careful consideration. The sentiment expressed in this report merits the approval not only of the negroes, to whom it is specially addressed, but the spirit of the document deserves and will receive the commendation of the white race. The report is very largely based upon the theory that the south is the natural home of the negro, and that he prefers to stay here if given an opportunity to live in peace and security. It attributes the fact that so many thousands of negroes have gone to the north to the discontent arising out of a relationship between the races that would not exist if there should be mutual co-operation based upon the observance of law and order, the punishment of any man, black or white, who offends against the law, and fair and just treatment to all under the law. That is a platform which should meet the approval of all. HOW LONG. HOW LONG The colored citizens of Chicago are forever being imposed upon both from without and from within. The Hyde Park Association with Jewish and Irish contingencies impose on us from without. They have taken the most undemocratic stand that Chicago historians have ever recorded. This organization composed of 99 per cent Jews, and every one knows how the Jew has suffered and wandered, every one knows how he has been discriminated and every one knows how the majority of Gentiles moved out to Sheridan Road and over to the North Side when he moved in Hyde Park. Every one knows that the remaining 5 per cent of the Hyde Park Gang are mostly Irish. Every one knows that they are a Subject race, and that England has kept the Iron Heel on them and that 43 Irish Newspapers have been suppressed and that out of every $1.00 earned that England takes 35 cents. We heard Valera cry Irish Freedom. We heard Brandeis cry give the Jew a chance. How long will they abuse the colored man? How long will they deny Liberty to us? How long will they impose on us without. How long will the spineless, ignorant colored man attempt to lead or rather mislead his race. How long will "men" like J. Gray Lucas and Beauregard Moseley shuffle into the limelight and attempt to represent the race. Lucas only a few days ago attended a meeting at Hyde Park and was quoted as saying: "That Negroes would move of their homes if the whites so desired. This man has imposed on us from within, we do not know whether he was misquoted and we care less. We know that he had no business attending this meeting and representing himself to be a leader. He does not lead ony one that we know of in this city. We only know that he is a man about town and said to be a lawver. We saw him in June at the L. M. Smith and Bixby meeting for colored. He kept jumping to his feet for fear he would not be seen. How long will we tolerate the activities of this impostor? Now one Beauregard Moseley, of "riot fame," dares to tell us thru the columns of one our papers who to vote for as our next president. The nerve, the gall, the insult. "Oh Judgement, thou has flown to Brutish Beasts and men have lost their reason. How can Moseley, the disbarred Lawyer who at the height of riot tension said that this was a white man's country, tell us how to vote. The people of Chicago are insulted again from within. How Long, How Long? The Jew and the Irish from without and men of "Lucas-Moseley" caliber from within The Jews and Irish have their own battles to fight. Moseley and Lucas have nothing in common with New Negroes and it behooves them to bask and revel within the circles of their individual spheres. For the scars are on our hearts forever to remain. We have expelled them from our lives. "They shall not pass" or ("Rather they shall not re-enter.")

Dear Editor: I received the first copy of the Whip and was more than pleased with its publication. I give the Whip credit for opening the eyes of the colored business men in Chicago to the fact that the race must have cooperative business bases and the same movement is under way in Omaha. The Whip should be the official organ of the colored race, because it stands for every principal of manhood. The colored journalistic world must admit that your publication leads the rest of the world in sound reasoning and facts. It is needless to tell you of your masterful editorials as you know they have no equal. I come not with jests for the silly, I come, not to Worship the strong.

African catfish have the power of discharging an electric shock sufficiently powerful to disable a man. Dear Sir: I take almost every colored paper in the country since your publication has been issued it acts as spot light to show the short comings of the other race journals. Never before in my life have I read such deep thinking as published on the editorials of your papers. Yours of the race Journals are made up and carry the same punch as the white press, such as "again the Whip scores", that punch itself and leads to a publication what is takes to make a good newspaper. I also noticed on your papers lead "Home Edition" the truth oculd never have been more truly spoken it was the home edition. The policy of your paper is creating quite a comment in New Orleans and I do believe that the Whip will be the voice of the colored race and your judgement and sound thinking will be the clarion and the Ethiopia.

And because it is so commonplace, people consider it a necessary evil and are prone to regard it with indifference. When one realizes that the function of the bowel movements is to get rid of waste matters and poisons that accumulate in the body, it is obvious that such an attitude is dangerous, and is no doubt responsible for many of those minor complaints that reduce one's efficiency. Usually when interference is found advisable, the easiest means at our disposal is resorted to, namely, the use of purgative drugs. This procedure not only gives just a temporary relief, but is harmful. Constipation is not a disease itself, but is an expression of some underlying disorder which may or may not be located in the bowels. Therefore, the first step toward its successful management must be the determination of the causal factors, and any treatment, to be effective, must be directed, not to the temporary improvement of the symptoms which may consist of several free bowel movements, but to the permanent removal of the cause. The most frequent cause is dietic. Food may be of such nature that all of it is utilized and when digestion is over it is completely absorbed leaving nothing solid in the intestines which can be moved. Often one hears the statement that certain foods are constipating. They are so because when eaten there is no residue left upon which the bowels can act. Therefore, the treatment of this form of foods are corn, mushrooms, cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce, string beans, oninos, cucumbers, asparagus, and bran bread. A large portion of these foods in the diet will leave a residue which stimulates the intestines to their fullest capacity. Potatoes, white flour bread and meat should be cut down in amount. Along with this regulation of the diet, one should cultivate the habit of going to stool regularly at a certain hour every day, whether or not the desire is present. This treatment, to bring the best results, must be supplemented with exercise, fresh air, and rest. It is well to drink a great deal of water. If this plan of treatment is not successful and immediate relief is urgent the use of drugs must be resorted to. But one must be reminded that their use is dangerous. The bowels form habits very easily and when they become accustomed to drugs they will not act without such assistance. It is a very common occurrence to find people who for many years have not had a bowel movement without taking a cathartic. Cathartics taken in such amounts are poisonous and their continued use is certain to undermine the health. The very mildest of drugs should be used. Some of these are in the various forms of aloes, cascara, senna, phenelphthalien and podiphyllin. Castor oil is an excellent cathartic for children, but is not to cause gripping pain—to prevent this add ten drops of turpentine to ever yable tablespoonful of the oil. A good plan is to take a small dose of one of these remedies every morning and as their action becomes manifest, gradually decrease the dose until none is taken at all. For a more drastic action the so-called saline cathartics may be used. Some of these are Epsom salts, Glaubers salt, Pluto water and citated magnesia. Milk of magnesia is a very mild prompt acting drug but has a tendency to produce an after effect of constipation. It is well to avoid the many patient medicines on the market which are sold under the name of liver pills, bowel regulators, etc. In the first place they are expensive in proportion to the amount of material they contain, and in the second place their composition is secret and often you may be taking something that is harmful. There is usually some preparation in the United States Pharmacopea that will have the same action as any of these patented medicines and it is safer to buy them. dred and two in number.
