Mispresents Governor Lowden's Comision, Ignores Constitution Bull Is "Exonerated." South Lea --- Vol. 1.—No. 23. On Wednesday evening the news was brought to our attention that a mysterious handbill was glaring from the posts and the conspicuous public places of Hyde Park and Kirkwood. These hand bills read that every colored man in Hyde Park must leave and that they were no longer wanted in the districts by the whites. The circular further stated that colored people must confine themselves to the district outlined by Governor Lowden's Commission. That district runs from 26th street to 39th street and south of 39th street to 51st St. east of Wabash ave. This poster was signed "The Colored Housing Committee." Work of the Chicago would be Klu Klug. It was learned shortly afterward that this was the work of a certain organization in Chicago that already has attempted to strike terror in the heart of the colored citizens of Chicago. This organization has weekly, tri- and bi-weekly meetings some- Court Gives Peremptory Instruction in Case Involving Animal. The suit of J. C. Kincannon, Jr., against Sidney Barham for damages because of the death of Eugene Michaels, a negro, was dismissed by a peremptory instruction to the jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendant yesterday by Judge Capell. The plaintiff entered suit on the theory that Michaels was gored to death by a bull owned by Barham. The negro's body was found in a lot in which the bull was kept, the bull at that time being untied. The night previous, when Michael was last seen, the bull was tied to a tree with a rope. Much of the testimony tended to show that the bull was not vicious. It had been permitted to wander about a lot through which women frequently passed and had been owned by Barham since it was a calf. It was butchered soon after the death of Michaels, because it was feared the sight of the body might make a change in the animals disposition. The court held that there was not sufficient proof against the bull to warrant a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Who is the most popular minister in Chiago? Contest begins next week.

Colored Citizens Offer Reward A group of colored property owners of the District have issued a statement that they will pay $2,000 for the capture of any of the Klu Klux Klan. South Side Business League Organized. One of the most timely meetings that has ever been offered the general public of Chicago was witnessed at Wendell Phillips High School Sunday afternoon Nov. 23 at :30 P. M. The purpose of the meetings was to organize a Colored Men's Business League on the South Side in particular, and throughout the city in general. Rev. W. S. Braaddan, the principal speaker of the evening in a very brief and fitting manner explained the matter and the purpose that embodied the movement. Hon. S. A. T. Watkins installed the newly elected officers and emphasized the points that in order to obtain the success that each one of the race must work for the interests of the race. Miss Antoonette C. Lornes gave enthusiasm to the meeting with a beautifully rendered solo. Mr. David A. McGowan briefly stated the platforms of the league in his characteristic business manner. Mr. McGowan is the right man for the presidency of the league and his election was heartily endorsed by all of the leaguers. Mr. Bindley C. Cyrus made a short and spicy talk on the big idea: THE BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE STARTS ON THE 24th OF NOV, and will last 10 days. Now is your chance to prove your RACE LOYALTY. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919 DO NOT WANT EQUALITY DO NOT WANT EQUALITY Dr. E. C. Morris Defines Negroes Attitude and Babist Convention "There must be a common ground on which the white man and the negro can meet to adjust all differences," said E. C. Morris in an address to the Negro Baptist state convention yesterday afternoon, in the Mosaic temple, Ninth street and Broadway, "and failure to do this will prove disastrous to the whole country. "Away with the nightmare called social equality. The negro is not going to invade the white man's home or any other home where is not wanted. He is perfectly satisfied with his own social organizations. We do ask for first class accommodation when we are forced to pay first class fare. We are teaching race loyalty, love for country and flag, love for neighbors and self," he said. At the close of the day's session fully $12,000 had been placed on the table for missions and education, and Dr. E. C. Morris announced that the main drive would be today when it was hoped that the $50,000 mark would be reached. He said that the negroes had more money than at any time in their history, and were better prepared to help themselves. Rev. I. A. Thomas of Chicago, representing the Budget Committee of the national Baptist convention, addressed the convention, speaking in words of praise of the friendly relation existing between the races in this section of the country. Dr. S. N. Vaas of Raleigh, N. C. field secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the national Baptist convention, addressed the convention. He served as field secretary.

Surprise to Patrons Hazel Harrison, Pianiste, of the premier rank in he recital at Kimball Hall Sunday, was accoredd an ovation such as is seldom received by a musician. The recital was attended by the elite of Chicago. She played an unusually trying program, the most difficult program played in Chicago this season and several numbers seldom attempted by women. All of which she played with the hands of a master musician. The following are excerpts from Chicago papers: The Chicago Herald and Examiner: "Her playing is musical, mature and individual." The Chicago Daily Journal, "She is an artist in position to command attention absolutely, to stand squarely upon her own accomplishments, with no apologies or reservations." The Chicago Evening American, "An artist of rare intelligence gave able account of herself. Her greatest appeal lies in the sympathy of her tone, her technic is well nigh perfect. But it is her heart that plays. Her fingers are but the obedient medium. Her touch is especially lovely in contable and her interpretation is always interesting. The large audience plainly understood that they were in the presence of a real artist." The Chicago Tribune, "Ten years ago this young pianist came forward as a child prodigy.

Washington, Nov. 25.—Voluntary emigration of Negroes of this country to the former German Colonies, in Africa, where they would have a greater opportunity than in this country but would still remain under the American flag, is believed by Senator Joseph E. France, of Maryland, to be not only a possibility but a probability, if the United States will take those colonies. Says Educated Ones Would Like To Go. Mr. France has prepared a reservation to the peace treaty, under which the United States would take over the colonies as her one-fifth of the German overseas possessions, which he says, is granted this country by the treaty. He would have the former German colonies developed under the tutelage of the U.S., and opened up as lands of opportunity for the educated negroes of this country. "The educated negroes, made ambitious by education, but held down more or less in this country, would turn to these African colonies as lands where the fullest opportunities for their abilities would be open," said Senator France. "I think they would desire to go there, as fast as we educated them. In time I think there is no question that all of our Negroes would go there. Vast Issues Involved He Says. "How much consideration have some who will sign the application for a cloture given to the subject of the disposition of the German colonies?"Mr. France continued. "The Foreign Relations Committee, with practically no word of explanation, has reported favorably reservation No.14, by the adoption of which the United States would renounce her Special Thanks giving Edition PRICE FIVE CENTS ICA" tor Declares U. Hold Germans or Ambitious Negroes The Would Reach development interest in the vast dominions, title to which Germany renounces the principal Allied and Associated powers, under Articles 19 to 127, inclusive. Surely so important an action as the adoption of this reservation should not be taken without full and free discussion, and I believe that the masses of the people would unqualifiedly condemn those favoring cloture, if they knew the vastness of the issues involved in this reservation. "Germany was a great empire, her Colonial possession and her spheres of influence embracing the area of 1,484,944 square miles, an area approximately one half of the total area of the United States, a one-fifth interest in which is vested in the United States under Article 119. In view of the heavy indebtedness of the Allied and associated powers to the United States, if there is to be any renunciation of interest in this vast territory it should be by them to the United States, rather than by the United States to them. This vast territory is located in Asia, Africa and Oceania, the German Islands possessions alone, particularly those of the equator, being, because of their strategic importance, of a great possible value to the United States, an asset which should not be transferred to a possibly unfriendly power. Opposes Giving Up Interest. "It was stated recently upon the floor of the House of Representatives that the gross expenditures by the United States for the prosecution of the war, including loans to the Allies, would total nearly $55,000,-000,000, and in view of this the Senate would not without due deliberation sign away our interests in the German Colonial possessions.

During her business, she visited the following cities: Athen, Ga., Columbus, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and New Orleans, La. She spent the last week in Crystal Springs, Miss. She was enthusiastic when seen by a Whip reporter, and mentioned many things that could be done to better the condition of the Southern Negro. Yet, the confidence of industry and thrift on the part of Colored residents of the South is shown in the many places from the amount of property they own, and the various business enterprises that they are putting into operation. Much of the co-operative spirit that seems so evident in these sections may be the result of some of the natural conditions that compel people to think and act in terms of unity. Aside from inadequate transportation accommodations, the trip of Mrs. Terrel, as reported by herself, was very successful. Yet, she expressed herself as being proud to be again in her own home with her many friends who have waited anxiously for her return. Mrs. Callie Hampton, 5957 So.

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.

Baltimore, Md.—The editors of the four negro newspapers published here today joined in an open letter to Attorney General Palmer expressing their belief that the recent report to the attorney general that boliseism and I. W. W. propaganda is making converts among the negroes Crazed Man Kills Two and Injures Another. Yestårday afternoon a crazed man killed Mrs. David Clayton, 2157 Park Avenue and her two pear old son; her husband who found the slayer in their home grappled with him and was seriously injured. Bois E. Love is the man sought for the killing. Man Enters Thru Window. Mrs. Clayton was going about her usual routine of day's work with her little son near by, when she saw a man with an ax in hand rush upon her grabbing her about the neck and began choking her, cutting and killing her with the hatchet. Boy Tries to Bring Aid. When the assailant became violent, her two year old son began crying and running from door to door. Fearing that his noise would attract attention the assailant quickly snatched the little fellow and with one swoop of the ax severed his head from the body. Husband Coming Home From Work Finds Slayer in Home. Mr. Clayton who had been out to work, found the slayer in his home and grappling with him was seriously injured and may die. He said he knew nothing of this man Love, and knew of no reason for his actions and that he must undoubtedly have been crazy. Protest Lynching of Colored Men in Missouri. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today telegraphed Governor Gardner of Missouri urging that members of a mob which lynched a Nero accused of robbery be brought to justice. The telegram is as follows: Hon. Frederick D. Gardner, Governor, Jefferson City, Mo. Press reports describe the lynching at Moberly, Mo., on Sunday, Nov. 16, of one and the contemplated lynching and burning of three other Negroes alleged to have beaten and robbed a farmer of twelve dollars. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People speaking on behalf of its three hundred branches and eighty-five thousand members of both races, in the name of law and order, and that better feeling between the races which results from justice impartially administered, appeals to you for energetic efforts on part of Missouri local and state authorities to vindicate the law by bringing mob murderers to trial. All upholders of law and order would welcome a statement from you with respect to the Moberly lynching, and your advocacy, if approved, of the Curtis and Dyer resolutions for federal investigation of race riots and lynchings. Social Worker Locates in Atlanta. Social Worker Locates in Atlanta. Jesse O. Thomas, who was for a number of years principal of Voorhees industrial school at Denmark, S. C., and later supervisor of negro economics for the state of New York and who recently resigned the latter to become field secretary of the National Urban league for social service among negroes, has established headquarters in this city. His office is located on the third floor of the Odd Fellows' building, 200 Auburn avenue. The national Urban league has for its purpose the bettering of the living, housing and working conditions of colored people, the increasing of the educational and mechanical efficiency of negro wage earners, the reduction of infant mortality, the promotion of health and sanitation, the reduction of juvenile and adult delinquency and the general uplift and social betterment of the whole people. is unfounded and deny that un-American ideas have taken hold among their race. They say there are few radical publications among the negroes and that the negroes, through their press, "will continue to demand every right of American citizenship." Two Special Cars Used to Transport Convicted Colored Men in Arkansas. Helena, Nov. 27. — With 87 colored prisoners in his charge, sheriff F. F. Kitchens and eleven deputies left Helena tonight for Little Rock. The haul, as it is being widely called here, came as a result of the so called insurrection in Phillips County, where scores of negroes were massacred by the whites and where to date not a single white man has been apprehended. Helena in Buzz of Excitement. The presence in Helena if KITCHENS and his prisoners has kept feeling in Helena close to the breaking point. The squad of deputies were forced to keep ceaseless vigil over the two cars in which the colored men were plaeced, for fear lest the crowds of threatening whites would commit a massacre worse than that of which these colored men are the survivors. It is oasisidered remarkable that Sheriff Kitchens' men succeeded in averting this disaster, as they oculd easily have been overcome by mere force of numbers. City Authorities Refuse Aid. Sheriff Kitchens felt his predicament acutely and sent an appeal to the city authorities for aid. He received no response. Of the 87 colored prisoners twelve are under death sentence. The twelve are, Ed. Coleman, Ed Hickse, Frank Moore, Frank Hicks, Jos. E. Knocks, Joe Fox, Alfred Banks Jr., William Wardlow, John Martin, Alfred Giles, Paul Hall and Ed Ware. Nine others sentenced to 21 years in the penitentiary, are Joe Higon, Ed. Mitchell, Dave Hays, Jilmore Jenkins, Silers For, Sam Wilson. Convicted Without Appeal. Twelve men under death sentence were dealt with summarily by the jury in Phillips County, being convicted in twelve minutes. It was for intervention on behalf of these men that Monroe Trotter appealed to the Gov. Brough and the N. A. A. C. P. to President Wilson. All of the men are being literally railroaded to prison, absolutely without expectations having been refused a new trial. All legal aid has been withheld from them and being ignorant of the law they are going to their doom without even the knowledge as to the nature of their sentences. Hurried Executions. As a sample of this speedy "justice", one of the men is to be electrocuted on Dec. 27 and seven on Jan. 2, 1920. This speed is unprecedented in the annals of the law. Even the papers of Arkansas have expressed surprise that the electrocutures should be held so soon after the return of the sentences. Expression are frequently heard in Helena to the effect that 'This will teach the Negro" who's boss'. And one of the prominent lawyers in a statement to the papers declared that is was the intention of the authorities to foster an active campaign suppression and rail road colored men to prison—and to death if necessary—until "these d... aspirations of theirs are crushed." Colored Man Resigned. From chance glimpses of the men in the cars just before Sheriff Kitchen's departure, something of their condition can be ascertained. They were bound in two-s and from their poseures of fixed rigidity, must have been secured to the seats. Most of them were in a pitifully dishevelled condition, their whole expressions conveying a sense of resignation and hopless bewilderment. They looked out almost compassionately upon the crowds clamoring around the cars. Here and there a look of terror can be seen flitting across some black contenance, but for the most part something in the nature of stoicism was predominant. Labor Situation Serious. There has been a great disruption of albor in Phillips County and in and about Helena as a result of the riot in these sections. It is with the greatest difficulty that farmers are able to employ colored farm hands. The colored men seem manifestly desirious of leaving the section and the farmers high and dry. Whatever the outcome of the trouble it is certain that radical changes must be made in the conditions under which the colored men work if they are to be employed at all. Sheriff Afflicted With Get-Rich Quick-Itis Sheriff Afflicted With Get-Rich Quick-Itis Memphis, Nov. 27.—The sheriff of this "burg" has a little scheme all his own for the enrichment of his lauters. He is ambitious and right on the job and afflicted with the get-rich-quick idea. His salary he considers altogether inappropriate, and must needs resort to some such method as that which netted him $30 in jail fees yesterday. Two Dollars and Arrest. He gets two dollars for each arrest he makes. This naturally being something of an incentive, he made it a practice of arresting groups of Negroes, against whom no charge could possibly be lodged but that they had had the ill luck of getting in the sheriff's way. Yesterday he raided a social club where the colored members were enjoying a bit of Jazz music. They were haled before Justice Mayer, fined and released, and the sheriff got the thirty. GET TOGETHER MEETING HELD AT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 4016 S. State St., Chicago, Representatives of various organizations participated in the meeting. Rev. Richard S. Johnson, pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church, presided. In taking up the general subject, he mentioned that he had enjoyed the meeting held at his church last Sunday, and felt that wonderful results could be obtained if those who are known to have more than a passing interestsin the needs of life would lend every effort and do their duty as Christians in the cause of humanity. He also mentioned that it might seem somewhat out of the ordinary to see three or four preachers participating in a meeting of this kind, but he felt that any minister who is sincerely in earnest should advocate the truth and should desire to see right and justice prevail. He said that there is plenty of evidence of a strong move throughout the country. Workers are getting together, trying to better their conditions. Capital, on the other hand, is trying to make its position more secure. The Colored man and woman must not take a stand in this situation that will destroy opportunities for themselves. Mr. John Riley, an organizer, who is somewhat acquainted with the existing conditions, was then introduced. Mr. Riley made a few remarks concerning the Steel situation, and how the race's interest was at stake. He advised that everybody use their influence in trying to prevent members of our race from going in and taking opportunities for better conditions away from someone else. When organizer Riley had concluded his remarks, the chairman introduced Miss Mary Haney of the Woman's Trade Union League, who stated pointedly, in an interesting manner, the work, that the Trade Union League has been doing in the past few years, and the success that they are having in securing better living conditions for the working women. She also mentioned the Working Women's Congress, which recently convened in Washington. This conference lasted two weeks. There were representatives from sixteen different countries, and they all have one common interest in life. When the speeches were translated in the English language they all meant the same thing. The working women in the entire world desire better conditions and a higher standard of living. They want laws that will protect their chil' dren and prevent their having to work under the ages of sixteen and eighteen. Miss Haney told of the success that organized workers have been having in securing increases in pay in the various county and municipal institutions. She showed, in conclusion, that the unorganized workers cannot demand or secure anything. Phone Douglas 4131 DR. J. AUTHOR KENNEDY, M. D.

Major Spingarn Protests To Governor of Arkansas Major Spingarn Protests To Governor of Arkansas Urges Commutation of Death Penalty Imposed on Eleven Negroes. Urging as a service to the nation the commutation to life imprisonment of death sentences imposed upon eleven Negroes in Arkansas, Major J. E. Spingarn, late of the A. E. F. in France, has telegraphed Governor Charles H. Brough of Arkansas. Major Spingarn urges the commutation in order that further light on the recent race riots in Arkansas may be obtained before "irreparable wrong" is done. As one who has always had high faith in your courage and sense of justice, and who has admired the liberal attitude which you have expressed in regard to the Negro, I am appealing to you to commute to life management from sentence of the worst Negroes recently condemned to death. From testimony obtained by two persons ability on the ground, I am convinced that the interest of justice would be best served by this amputation, in order that an irreversible wrong may not be done before further light on the whole subject is obtained. As a patriotic American I should hate to have the fair name of Arkansas subject to even the suspicion of having done a grave injustice, at a time when more than ever the relations of white and black men should be on a basis of air play and mutual understanding. You have it in your power to perform a national service at this crisis, and I feel sure that you will not shrink from doing it.

Pullman Car Employees Demand More Money Excerpts fro ma Letter Written to Secretary Campbell by International Secretary Jere L. Sullivan Concerning Wage Demand Submitted by Sleeping Car Porters and Dining Car Employes, Local 238, to the Wage Adjustment Board of the Railroad Administration. 4300 S. State St., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir and Brother: I have your communication of the 17th, enclosing copy of your new wage scale and working conditions that you say was submitted to the local for ratification at the last special meeting, called for that purpose on Nov. 3. I am quite confident that the General Executive Board will approve of same; in fact, there is no reason why it shouldn't. Of course it is understood that the approval would carry nothing more than moral assistance, hence, if your local union --- expects to have any trouble in connection with the wage scale, another proposal ought to be submitted to the Board, but in view of the fact that these demands are going to be laid before the War Labor Board of the Railway Administration, we can hope for good results. I regret that time does not permit a longer communication with this matter, but I will say, for the benefit of yourself and the members of Local No. 268, if that classification proposal as outlined in the R. I. B. & I. A. wage scale is put into operation, it is going to be mighty difficult to keep the men in the service any length of time, because, as intimated in your communication, the company would be far better off by finding cause for discontinuing the services of men after a year or two at the most. Yours fraternally, (Signed Jere) L. Sullivan, Secretary-Treasurer. Black Belt a Silent City. "In one respect, said Carl Sandburg of the Chicago Daily News, what we call the "black belt" is to outciders a silent city." He had come in, thought, and found its people far different from the mental pictures given by his associates. He enumerated some of the valuable services given him by the League, and characterized the organization as a "nerve ganglion." Mr. Horace Bridges spoke on the work of the League as seen by one of its directors. An Ellis Islander. "I am an Ellis Islander," said Mr Bridges. Having studied the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as an Englishman, these principles are perhaps fresher in my mind." He told of his disillusionment in finding America so obsessed with prejudices. "Let us keep our eyes on ourselves while Americanizing the aliens." When the question was first asked in impatience why Negroes were coming North, Mr Bridges replied that he felt that as Americans they had a right to go where they blame please in their own country. "But," he continued, "they really came because the manufacturers wanted them and could not do without them. It is the responsibility of these men now to see that they are properly cared for." We get information on where the Negro shall not go, but it is a notorious fact that no one has yet suggested just where he shall go." Reverend Robert L. Bradby, of Detroit, brought his usual enthusiasm to the subject. "We have tested this organization," he declared, "you can't keep a good thing down. Our people have left the Southland because it is the desire of every human soul to live in freedom and peace." Rev. Bradby outlined a program for the establishment and maintenance of agreeable working relations between negroes and white people in this city. "No negro wants what a lot of silly white people have claimed, social equality. What they do want and demand is social sameness, the right to live wherever he can buy a house and to work wherever they are fitted for a job." Advertise in the Whip It's Worth While.

HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON. 12 TO 7 HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 24.—Several thousand spectators witnessed the annual football classic between Howard and Hampton. When the whistle blew Hampton received the kick on her 30-yard line. Howard lined up over the ball on Hampton's 40-yard line and made several end runs which resulted in a touchdown within a few minutes of play. After several line plunges and long end sweeps, Green carried the pigskin over for a touchdown. The goal was kicked. In the second quarter both teams resorted to kicking and forward passing. Hampton intercepted several passes and gained through Howard's line. Howard made several good end runs but failed to score. Howard played offensive ball in the last half and was determined to win. Hampton became puzzled over Howard's long and short passes, which were broken up. Both teams fought hard, but a touchdown was impossible. Hampton made a bad kick to Howard in the last quarter. Howard attempted a drop kick on the 30-yard line, but was blocked by Long. Howard attempted long and short passes, which were successful. Howard made a touchdown in the last few seconds off a short forward pass. The goal was missed. Hampton received the kick and made one or two downs before the final whistle blew. The game was clean and exciting. Hampton held the lead until the last eight seconds. Wright's punting was very good, Green's line plunging was excellent and Williams of Howard did very successful forward passing. Line-up. Howard, 12 Hampton, 7 Howell L. E. Long Jackson L. T.

Last Year's Champs to Open Up Their Sensor Against One of the Best Teams in the East—Every Man, with Exception of One, of Last Season's Team to Appeal. New York, Nov. 29.—The St. Christ- opher's Red and Black Machine will play their first game of the season on Thursday evening, Dec. 4, at Man- hattan Casino. Their schedule for the incoming season is a very hard one from the first to the last game. Manager Lord has booked as his pro- teges' opponents for the opening game one of the best teams in the East during the season of 1918-19, the Brooklyn Athletic Club (formerly the Carlton Lightning "5"). As we know, these two teams play their hardest when they face each other, and neither will spare any pains to score a victory over the other. The machine, coached by Charlie Bradford, one of St. C.'s own, has been working out three times a week in their gymnasium in preparation for this occasion. The squad, made up of George Fiall, captain; (Fat) Jenkins, Harold Jenkins, Johnny Capers, Henry Robbins, Bill Parker, Reg Pulley, John Hopkins, C. Garcia, A. Anderson and Winslow Scott, is in good condition, due to the gym work during the summer months under the personal direction of Mr. Bradford. For the last few weeks he has taken the team through new signals and formations, abolishing the ones taught by the former coach, "Jeff" Wetzler. The Brooklyn Lightning Five was the representative team of the Carlton Y. M. C. A., but at the beginning of the present season the secretary of the branch ordered the discontinuation of basketball. At this the new organization was formed by the same men of last year's Y. M. C. A. team. Every player is a registered A. A. U. athlete, and as in the past, will play nothing but strictly amateur teams. This attraction is of mid-season caliber and ought to be one of the best played games of the season. Anybody can strike, suppose we all get busy at our jobs for a change. Own your own home and laugh merrily at the janitor's union. Unfortunately Uncle Sam cannot deport undesirable natives along the undesirable aliens. No, Claribell, the old fashioned shakers have nothing in common with the new shakers that one sees where dancing is tolerated. In the good old days when eggs were 10 cents a dozen there were no cold storage houses to preserve them against the days of scarcity. We sometimes wonder where humanity gets that 'modern efficiency' Stuff. All a two dollar bill is good for is for the owner to short change himself on the dollar. Pres. Wilson says that we have much to be thankful for this year. I am thankful that a year from now he will have less than six months to rule. Jews march in pogrom protest. Those who live in Kenwood and Hyde Park must have had a bitter example brought home to them of race hatred.

It is the easiest thing to stir up trouble; all you have to do is to tell the truth all the time. The rail road man has troubles of his own without worrying about his wife's train. THE CHICAGO WHIP PORTS Boy Thrills own University's Whirlwind s Yale Bulldog Groggy Colored Boy Thrills Ink Williams Brown University's Whirlwind End, Plays Yale Bulldog Groggy The White Sox are still playing wonderful ball. Wood is getting better every game; his curve ball is wonderful. Looks as if he is trying for larger things in baseball. Manager Carr has three of the best finds in Woods, Baker and Hawkins that ever played semi-pro baseball. Too much credit can't be given them. Mr. Johnson, owner of the White Sox, is planning to bring his club east the coming season. So, managers, look out. Gomes, who pitched for the Merchants against the Sox, was formerly of the Boston Braves. There were several Pacific Coast League players in the Merchants' line-up. You can see the brand of ball the Sox are playing. Baker relieved Shon in the sixth, sending him behind the bat.

New York.—A man with a wooden leg and a short temper entered the Home Comforts lunch, Brooklyn, and sat down for lunch. He found fault with the tablecloth, kicked about the silver, roared over the coffee, cast aspersions at the eggs, and threw the rolls at the head of James Toulas, the waiter. The customer scowled, became profane, and, unstrapping the wooden leg, banged James Toulas over the head with it.

KERSEY, D. A. McGOWAN, WM. J. MORSELL, Props. It Is a Mark of Be a Reader Mayo Williams, called affectionately called "Ink," on last Saturday, in the great Brown-Yale game, proved the superiority of the colored athlete. Williams has been on the Brown team for the last three years, but because of the fact that Fred Pollard was 99 per cent of the Brown machine, it was a matter of "athletic policy" to keep "Ink" on the sidelines. Pollard has gone, and "Ink" Williams is holding up the reputation of his great side-kick by playing the meanest end in Eastern football circles. Williams is as fast as "mercury poisoning," and in 1917 won the 50-yard indoor B. A. A. race. Williams is a sure tackler, an eel-like broken field runner, and follows up the plays SOX PLAY VIOLETS The White Sox played the Violets baseball club, winning the third. Lewis was on the mound for the Sox and did his bit by striking out four men, and let the Violets down with only two hits. Hawkins made two unassisted double plays, and in four times at t echbat he got two triples and one single. "You seem to be all out of sorts this morning," said Toulas. "Would it help any if I let you tell me a sad story?" Jim Tonlas was treated in Norwegian hospital for lacerations of the scalp. ANNOUNCEMENT At a meeting of the Depositors of the R. W. Hunter's Bank held at Olivet Church on the night of November 19th, 1919, seeking means to overcome the strain on that Institution, those present honored me with an appointment on the Board of Trustees, to take over the running of that Institution at this critical time. I deem it an honor and wish to thank them for that vote of confidence in my ability and trustworthiness which prompted them to use and accept my name. I regret very much that the stress of my personal affairs prevent me from serving with that Board. Wishing the Board success in the work before them, I am For Sporting News Read the "Whip" Live Dope of his opponents like a hawk. He is also an excellent field general and is always in the game. In point of excellency of all-round playing throughout the entire contest, Williams shone excellently for the Brownians. On the defense this star end was all over the field, overtaking the Yale backs when they were well started through a broken field and smearing the plays coming his way. While making no long runs on the offensive, Williams got away with some fine dashes, and if he had had better interference, would undoubtedly have shown the Blue eleven a clean pair of heels. Walter Camp has already considered "Ink" as All-American timber. Three cheers for Mayo Williams, the pride of New Negro sports! Indicted and Tried by Same Jurors Indicted and Tried by Same Jurors Louisville, Ky.—After returning on identiment charging Sam Williams, colored, with the theft of 30 from Charles Able, the grand jury was pressed into service by Judge Robinson yesterday to sit as a petit jury to try the negro, as he expressed a desire to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. The regular jury panel had been discharged by Judge Robinson Thursday.—As the Grand Jury knew all of the facts in the case a recommendation made by Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Loraine Mix was accepted and Williams was sentenced to serve a year in the penitentiary.

LY BY GYGIENIC CO GO ILL; A STAFF THAT COVER MORNING DE The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE Masque of Colored America a Big Success Fully 3500 people turned out in pomp and splendor to witness the Masque of Colored America at Orchestra Hall, Wednesday night, November 19th, under the personal direction of Prof. James A. Mundy. The affair was a gala night for those who adore the work of music masters, literary geniuses and the terpsichorean art of unique classy ballet. The program consisted of a two part musical symposium, its music rangeing (ranged) from the melodious strains of Negro folklores to the sublime heights of Campanin's grand opera. The first opening was that S. Coleridge Taylor's Viking Song sung by the ensamble demonstrating unusual musical talent, technique of expression and due regard for harmony. So well did the egrand chorus render this number that the large audience applauded until each hand was strained from over exertion. Miss Elsie Von Dickerson scores. Miss Elsie Von Dickerson, a dashing little damsel scored a decided hit Sutton E. Griggs Corrects R. S. Abbott Mr. R. S. Abbott, Editor Chicago Defender, Chic My dear s.r: In a recent issue of your paper under the caption "Open Statement To The Public" you say "Elsewhere in this paper appears an article, a reprint from the Commercial Appeal under date of Nov. 16, in which Dr. Sutton E. Griggs states that he has been invited by the commission appointed by Gov. Lowden of this state to investigate race conditions in Illinois and to present his views regarding the proper course to pursue to the commission." There are two errors in this part of your statement. You say "Dr. Sutton E. Griggs states". I beg to assure you that the wording of the article which you quote is not my wording. The article quoted by you opens by saying that I am "one of the best and most favorably known lecturers in the United States, who has been a respected citizen of Memphis for many years." My mother taught me when a child that "self-praise is half scandalous" and I would not have been guilty of handing such comment to a newspaper reporter. I had no more connection with the use of those words that you did. Your next error is in saying that the statement reads that I had been invited "by the commission." Your wording would call for official action in the part of the commission. The statement in the Commercial Appeal which you unintentionally misquote is "He was also asked last week by members of the commission" which is a wholly different thing from what you say. As you are a member of the commission you would have the right to know of any official action taken, but you might now know of all actions extended by members of the commission. living aside the reporter's wording of the latter, I will now use my own words in telling just what did happen. During my recent visit to the city of Chicago, I had the privilege of an interview with the eminent Dr. Graham Taylor, of the Chicago University and founder of the Chicago common. At this interview I took occasion to lead to him some views which I as fundamental causes antipathies. He expresses itself as very much in what I had to say and I formulate practical sug-growing out of the views and present them in comm. He also urges have an interview with Mr. Graves, secretary to Mr. Julius Rosenwald, and representative of the latter upon the committee on race relationships appointed by Gov. Lowden of Illinois. Mr. Graves expressed a preference for my appearing before the commission, and urged that I should do so, stating the day and hour of meeting. I did not see fit to accept his kind invitation. My views had no special connectic with the situation in Chicago and Illinois, but with race questions throughout the world and with race questions other than the American question. As I had no special ties to suggest for the Chicago situation, I did not avail myself of the opportunity offered me to appear before the commission. With reference to your closing comment concerning Jim Crow laws or segregation, I wish to say that in the rendition of a poem entitled the Land of Beginning Again. She demonstrated through the delivery of this poem that the art of drama is a profession only to be gained through studious application and zealous effort. At this point Negro spirituals were interspersed here and there showing that their distinctive place in Negro life is not yet forgotten. "Bye and Bye" sung by Mrs. Blanche P. Dorsey was fascinating in a most significant way; "Wade in the Water" sung by Miss Helen Townley had its desired effect. The high water mark in this particular sphere was reached when Mr. Thomas Terrell led the chorus in Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho. This number not only brought applause but laughter due to the manner in which the song was sung. Before we stray too far away from the stellar attractions of the evening we are reminded that Miss Mary E. Jones appeared in a special selection which had a unique place of the program. She sang most wonderfully Delibe's Bell Song only as an artist they did not in any way come up in the course of my interview with Mr. Taylor. Sutton E. Griggss. NEW YORK Y NEWS. New York, Nov. 28.—The record of the colored men and women who were sent overseas by the Young Men's Christian Association, who served as secretaries during the world war is dotted with brilliant bits of patriotic, Christian achievement, courage, and self-abnegation. Like the colored soldiers, they went forth to do battle against the enemy until the last armed foe laid down his weapon of warfare. The total number sent was eighty-four, sixty-one men and twenty-three women. Of this number two died on active service overseas and two died in this country. Frederick D. Ballou, of Richmond, Ky., and the Rev. R. A. Pritchett, of Philadelphia, who served with the forces in Africa, were drowned at Dar-es-Salaam, in East Africa. The two men who died in the home service were the Rev. H. E. Levi, of Talladega, Ala., who died at Camp Wheeler and Hiram H. Wheeler, of Urbana, Ill., who died while on furlough. The Y. M. C. A. and the colored race have many times recorded their pride and satisfaction for the loyalty and efficient work done by the colored secretaries. Those cited for bravery were Edward Terrell Banks, of Dayton, Ohio, Hugh Oliver Cook, of Kansas City, Mo., and M. W. Bullock, former Dartmouth football star. Mr. Banks won his citation for bravery while serving the 368th Infantry of the 92nd Division. This Division received word that scout had been wounded and was lying helpless between the lines. Banks immediately set out to rescue the wounded man but in the attempt was caught by a terrific barrage and could not get back. With a determination to save his man Secretary Banks stayed with him through the night and brought him back the next morning when the firing was less severe and carried him to safety. For this he was recommended for a citation by Captain Smith, commanding Company K, of the 368 Infantry. For gallant conduct in the Champagne offensive of September 26th to October 6th, Hugh Oliver Cook, of Kansas City, attached to the 371st Infantry was thus recommended by Col. P. I. Miles, commanding the regiment, "for heroic conduct in volunteering to aid in administering to the wounded on September 26th, near Hill 188. He worked tirelessly until he himself was gassed. M. W. Bullock, was cited by Col. Hayward, of the old 15th New York regiment for gallant service with that regiment throughout its service. SMART SET AT THE GRAND. The Smart Set is at the Grand this week, with Horner Tutt and Whitney. It is a very good show and will be a decided hit to the stage followers. The 13th Chair at Avenue is fairly well played and opened to a fair audience, Monday evening. Many of the old stock faces are back and their friends paid them a royal welcome.

At the finale of Miss Jones' Selections a beautiful bouquet of gold Chrys- anthemum was presented her. Mr. George L.

His tenor voice won for him a distinction and place per- manently occupied by the masters of John McCommack class. Mundy reaches his heights. The evening's entertainment reached its height when Handel's Hallelujah Chorus-sung by the ensemble brought the entire house upon their feet. So masterful was this number rendered, so captivating was its presentation that what was done had to be done all over again. A group of little boys from the Y. M. C. A. under the direction of Mr. H.

The Patriotic Service League girls of the John Farran School, 51st and Wabash Avenue, entertained a large number of friends with the pretty morality play "Beyond the Gate." The production was artistic from all points of view and the little girls did some splendid individual work, showing a wealth of talent along dramatic lines. There was a nominal admission charge and the proceeds will go toward making a jolly Christmas for the wounded boys at the hospitals.

The march of the Masque covered a period of progress made by Negroes from 1619 to 1919. From the time the spot light was turned on Miss Carrie Stidwell characterising the life of Phyllis Wheatley until the news of the assassination of Lincoln not one dull moment was spent. The most unique feature of it all was the presentation of Miss Laura Holland as Ethiopa whose qualities of honor, love and truth demanded the recognition of Miss Columbia as her sister.

Schwab of the Bethlehem steel corporation by the Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Workeres' Journal. The editor calls attention to this statement credited to Mr. Schwab during the war: "A wonderful change has taken place in American ideals. I doubt whether in the past labor has gotten its just share. The time has come when this must be rectified. This great war has taught us that we must concede things to labor. Autocney in labor and in capital is dead. This is the day of democracies, the day of tolerations and adjustment and readjustments." To these fine sentiments, the labor editor replies: "Where is Schwab now? If he was sincere in his uttering, why doesn't he come forward now and put his words into action? If he believes that autocracy in capital is dead, and the day of democracy is here, he is, in our estimation, the Moses that should come forward and lead Gary and his associates out of the wilderness and into the land of justice and righteousness." Contempt For Blacklegs New York.—Contempt for black-legs—the English term for strike-breakers—was expressed by the Countess of Warwick when asked to contribute to a fund to reward a group of this ilk, according to Associated Press dispatches. American newspapers generally make the doings of royalty first page stories, but in this instance the outburst of the countess received little publicity. The titled woman has a residence a short distance from London and that community raised a purse for employees who were "loyal" during the recent railroad strike. The countess was asked to contribute and she sent this response: "Lady Warwick is amazed at the communication sent her which she returns herewith. It is incredible that any thoughtful person should commend disloyalty to a union for monetary reward. "The railwaymen who stood aside reap the benefits of the great victory achieved by their fellows, as did the occupants of smug and safe berths during the war while others fought for them. "Lady Warwick will have nothing to do with blacklegs." Mothers' Pension Fund Washington. — Remarkable progress has been made in mothers' pension legislation, according to a bulletin issued by the United States children's bureau. The first legislation of this kind was passed by Missouri and Illinois. At the present time 39 states, Alaska and Hawaii have some public provision for mothers left with young children to support and in at least five of the remaining states this principle is being considered. This rapid spread of legislation in so brief a time is indicative, says the bulletin, of the wide spread and deep rooted conviction that no child should be deprived of home life and a mother's care because of poverty alone. Some states provide pensions only for widowed mothers; others include women who have been divorced or who may have been deserted by their husbands; or those who husbands are in prison, in state asylums or who are otherwise incapacitated. In three states expectant mothers are included and in a number of instances the mothers of children born out of wedlock come within in the scope of the law. SEND DETECTIVES TO ARKANSAS The Keystone National Detective Agency has dispatched operatives to Arkansas to investigate the recent lynching that has been committed there in the past three months. This agency has been retained by leading citizens in both Little Rock and Helena, Ark. They are to report their findings to the Department of Justice, Washington. The Ft. Smith lynching and the recent riots in Elaine, Ark., has stirred the Coloree, people to secure the service of one of their race to help ferret out these terrible conditions that have put their life and property at stake for years Read The Chicago Whip 4212 Wabash Avenue, November 9, 1919. Rev. Richard S. Johnson, pastor, preached a sermon regarding the benefits of organization. Aside from the members and visitors, many labor men, representing the American Federation of Labor, T. A. McCreash, Fourth Vice-President of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters of North American; Eddie Collins, Butcher Workmen, Local 118 representative of the Watchmen and Special Policemen's Organization Local 301, G. W. Downie, Official in Charge of the Free Employment Bureau, which is at present being maintained by the Butcher Workmen's International Union; W. Alexander, International Organizer Butcher Workmen; G. W. Strathers, Organizer Butcher Workmen and member of Local 1615, and John Riley, representing the American Federation of Labor, were present. Rev. Douglas was introduced after the sermon, and spoke at length regarding the Afro-American Benefit Association, of which he is founder and President. After he had finished speaking, Rev. Johnson introduced the various representatives of organized labor and permitted them to talk concerning the labor movement. He was anxious to see just what effect these talks had on his congregation, and he requested an expression from each member, as he desired to note whether or not the talks had been well taken. One of the able sisters of his church was simply carried away by the talks and expressed herself as being well pleased as well as enlightened, and testified that she believed that the hand of Providence or some mysterious force had sent these men here. She had the utmost confidence in the labor movement, and felt that it was the duty of every worker to become in some way identified with a body or an organization that would give them an opportunity to demand and secure more of the blessings of life. Vice-President McCreash made an interesting talk. Brother A. K. Foote, Secy.-Treas. Local 651, took advantage of this opportunity to talk Cooperation. He outlined the policy of his Co-operative Society in such a way that the people were, in many instances, ready to accept his invitation to come in and take out some shares and help the society make the $10,000 grocery store of which Mr. Foote spoke a success as well as a benefit to the consumers of food stuffs. Collection was then raised, and from the smile on the minister's we are convinced that he was well pleased. There will be a series of such meetings held in the various small churches on the South Side until the masses of the working people of the colored race are thoroughly awakened regarding the benefits of the labor movement. We feel sure that we can expect the hearty co-operation of the ministers in helping to enlighten the wage earners of the various congregations regarding the labor movement. RANGER KILLS MEXICAN Overcomes Attack With Knife and Shoots Man Dead. Brownsville, Tex.—An unidentified Mexican while resisting arrest was shot and killed here late today by Capt. W. L. Wright of the Texas Rangers. Two soldiers from Fort Brown complained to Captain Wright that the Mexican had thrown bottles at automobiles driven by soldiers. The Mexican drew a knife and stabbed at Wright when he approached to arrest him. Wright fired, the bullet striking the Mexican in the leg. Unsubdued, the Mexican made a second stab at the officer, who shot him in the face. NOTED BIBLE CLASS TEACHER STARTS CLASS. Prof. J. U. Turner, who for a number of years has conducted a large Bible Class on the North Side, is doubtedly one of the best equipped men for that particular kind of work. He holds several degrees from various universities of the Middle West and his knowledge of the Bible and a contemporary writings is astonishing. The Wabash Avenue Department, Y. M. C. A., has been fortunate enough to have Prof. Turner tart a class for men December 4, at o'clock, and every Thursday thereafter. The topic is "Revelation vs. season," which will be divided into our parts. There is no charge. Mule will be a special feature, and all men are invited to come. THE CHICAGO WHIP A large audience heard the question of racial adjustment discussed and the programs and accomplishments of the Chicago Urban League presented at its Third Annual Meeting at Olivet Baptist Church, Monday evening. Dr. George Cleveland Hall, Vice-president of the League in opening the meeting commented briefly on its place among civic organizations. "The League did not come to Chicago to displace anything. It came to coordinate and work with all agencies for the uplift of our colored population." Referring to the situation of Negroes in the city, he said, "A lot of these things called problems—the housing problem, the race problem—are not problems at all. They are insults." The remarkable progress of the League was told in figures in the report of the Executive Secretary, T. Arnold Hill. The oddget increased from 7,000 in 1917-18 to 15,000 in 1918-18. Since Nov. 1918, 20,815 separate individuals have used the League's offices over 8,000 different times—12,815 persons have been placed in employment, 4,000 of those receiving employment were women. Fourteen hundred girls were placed in clerical positions at Sears-Roebuck & Company. Of the 690 provided by the League last year, all but 25 were asked to return. The selective process is used in making placements with striking success. Mr. Hill emphasized the values of the department of Records and Research which provides for the programs of the League as a dependable basis in fact. Its chief function, he says, is to serve as a bureau of information for the interested public on all matters relating to the welfare of negroes in Chicago. The League also has a children's department which seeks to handle juvenile delinquency. This department engages the full time of two persons. Some of the important organizations working in cooperation with the League are: The American Red Cross, The Union League Club Chicago Association of Commerce Committee on Nursery Care of Colored Children, Chicago City Club War Camp Community Service, U. S Department of Labor, United Charities, and a number of others. Supervision over the Wendell Phillips Settlement is still held by the League. EXERPTS FROM THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR WEEK. LY NEWS LETTER. Absolutism Not Dead. San Francisco.—"The labor group," says the Seamen's Journal, "walked out of the national industrial conference because the spirit of absolutism that died with Louis XIV has been reincarnated and has found a voice in Gary and the other feudary lords of the United States who profess to believe that they are the industry of America and that those employed therein are mere serfs." Packers Enjoin Police. Jersey City, N. J.—To maintain order in the vicinity of the Armour and Swift packing plants, where butchers are on strike, city officials prohibited the importation of strikebreakers and the authorities are now enjoined from interfering with these "free and independents." The strikebreakers were furnished by a New York agency and the injunction was issued by Chancellor Stevenson of Patterson, this state. The butchers are demanding $45 a week with the Saturday work day o end at 9 o'clock in the evening instead of 11 o'clock. The men have been receiving from $25 to $28 a week. Dean Johnson of the Wharton school, an affiliate of the university, said the pledge "that certain of the university students have placed before their fellows for signatures meets with my heartiest approval. "It was a patriotic impulse," he declared, "that led to the formation of this pledge, and should the university boys generally sign it, as I believe they will, we should have another evidence of their devotion to their country." It is stated that addresses will be made to all classes in the university, explaining this strikebreaking stunt and the patriotism of the students will be appealed to that they will enlist in the "army of defense." This movement is in line with the refusal several years ago, of officers of the Wharton school to permit President Gompers to address the students on trade unionism after a group of them forwarded an invitation to the A. F. of L. executive. Nov. 26. 1919. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a telegram to Secretary of War Newtow D. Baker, asking for Intervention in the case of Sergeant Edgar G. Caldwell who has been sentenced to death for the alleged murder of Kelsie Morrison, a street car conductor at Aniston, Alabama, on December 15, 1918. The telegram reads:— Nov. 14, 1919. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. National Association for Advancement of Colored People respectfully urges that you exercise power at your command and intervene in the case of Sergeant Edgar G. Caldwell now under sentence of death for killing of street car conductor December fifteenth at Anniston, Alabama. In view of fact that Caldwell at the time was a soldier in Regular Army and was turned over to civil authorities and by them condemned to detah we feel that because of his rae it was impossible for him to secure fair trial in that State. Our further contention it that Caldwell should have been tried by regular Court Martial since he was a soldier Caldwell sentenced to be hanged December fifth and we therefore urge that intervention be made in his behalf immediately. James Weldon Johnson Field Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People 70 Fifth Avenue, New York CHURCH NOTES AMENDED ARTICLES ARE FILED BY CHURCH.

CHURCH, 4644 DEBORN ST. Rev. J. A. Winters—Pastor. As usual we had overflowing numbers here Sunday at each hour of worship the pastor was given an attentive ear, and all seemed to fully enjoy the profound and fervent messages given forth. Especially good were the anthems by the choir. Just before the sermon Sunday evening, Miss B. Kaigler, contralto soloist, sang "I Shall Not Be Moved," in a touching manner. The pastor and a goodly number attended the first quarterly meeting at the Englewood church in the afternoon. The fourth annual musicale given here Thanksgiving evening, under the auspices of the choir was a tremendous success. Our director, Prof. E. G. Jordan, is to be commended for the splendid service he is rendering as chorister of this musical body. Prof. J. Wesley Jones, director of the Chicago Progressive Choral Society, and a large representation of this organization were chief among the ground audience. Our first quarterly meeting will take place the third Sunday in December. We invite you here. FOR PEACE DISTURBANCE. FOR PEACE DISTURBANCE. John Williams, colored 414 East Twenty-first street, was arrested at 7:45 last night, charged with disturbing the peace. It is alleged that he was fighting with his wife and almost wrecked his home. He broke an oil lamp and badly cut his right 'and in the operation. Education --- Door Of Hope Hampton, Va., Nov. 27. — "An educated man is one who does his work intelligently, thoroughly, effectively, conscientiously, unseitily, and with some understanding of what it is all for," said Dr. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in a recent address on 'Negro Education', which he delivered at the Howard University Reconstruction and Adjustment Congress. Dr. Gregg said: "I am not willing to speak of Negro education as of something different from other education, except that all edutaconiumstearrgdETAO that all education must regard the likeness and differences of individuals. If the Negro is different, that is, if he has special gifts, his education should be influenced by that fact. If his environment is peculiar, his education should be shaped accordingly. "Every child, of whatever color, deserves, first, such education as will open his mind to the sunshine of truth. Then we should make sure that he is given training which will make his self-supporting and useful and happy and upright — which will help him do well whatever work he is most fitted to do. At no time should he be allowed to feel that the door is shut to his going further and higher. "Clemenceau has said: 'The world's only salvation from the soical and economic chaos from which it is now emerging is work! That is what we all need to realize, no matter what our work is. Let us restrain our lamentations because all is not just as we could wish, after the greatest political, social, economic catastrophe in history. Let us, while not overlooking injustice an cruelty, yet keep our eyes fixed on the ordinary, more common-place justice and kindness which are all about us. With faith in men and faith in God, let us og forward." Mississippi Senator Again Attacks Irish Calls Irish a Subject Race Special to Whip — Washington, Nov. 26 — Senator John Shrape Williams of Mississippi made, another character attack upon Senator Walsh of Irish descent and the Irish race as a whole. The Senator's language in criticizing Senator Walsh became so absurd that Senator Cummings was compelled to call him to order. Senator Williams based his attack on Senator Walsh and the Irish race upon the phrase that Senator Walsh was the 'offspring of a subject race.' The Mississippi Senator also said that the Irish People during the war were pro-German. Senator Walsh said in part— "I stand here as a descendant of a subject race. If it pleases you better, I will speak more plainly. I stand here as the son of an Irish immigrant mother and father. Is that un-American? "I speak for no European races. The Irish and English question has no business in this chamber; but the relation of the American government to that question has some business here, and when these people have believed—mistakenly, if you please—that this covenant of the league of nations meant the United States joining their oppressor, in God's name, what is there in American institutions that forbids them the right of petition, the right of a protest? "Cannot a man be of Irish blood, cannot a man be of subject races, of Hebrew faith, of Protestant faith, of Catholic faith, and be proud of it and yet be an American? Can he not speak as a Republican and yet be an American?" Senator Lodge of Massachusetts closed the incident with a graceful tribute to his colleague. Defends Walsh's Motives. He said he did not believe any man ever took a difficult step from more conscientious motives than had Senator Walsh in deciding to oppose some of the features of the treaty. He said Senator Walsh was as good an American as he had ever known, adding: "I do not wonder that the Senator from Mississippi recoils at the term subject races. He is familiar with a subject, race and lives among them. But why my colleague should be uplifted for being the offspring of a subject race is something I can not understand." Help Us To Have a Hotel The Lake Shore Hotel and Investment Co., Idlewild, Mich. Incorporated under the Laws of Michigan. We have 5,000 lot owners in Idlewild, and none of them have yet planned to build a hotel. Idlewild Resort Co. is composed of white men, and they do not employ our colored girls to work in the office, but they are spending our money. They are the only ones making money at our popular resort and town section. They are charging us 7.00 per week for a one-room cottage. Everything that we start the white man tries to get in at the head of it, but he will never get at the head of this hotel, and nothing else at our town if my race stands by me.

Reliable Detective Work --- Hampton, Va., Nov. 28. That law and order is a National issue was made clear by Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton Institute, in his address before the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and the Virginia Negro Teachers' Association, which held a four-day joint meeting in Lynchburg. Dr. Gregg said: "The riots, lynchings, and kindred outrages, which have followed one another with sickening rapidity during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elaine, and elsewhere, remind us and prove that this epidemic of ferocity is national, afflicting the North as well as well as the South. The lynching of a white man in Centralia, Washington, recently, shows that no race is safe." In discussing preventive measures Dr. Gregg added: "This is a time when the white men, of the South and of the North, should leave no one in doubt where they stand: whether for law and order, for decency and justice and humanity, or against these fundamentals of civilization. The kind of people who make up a mob are not such as should intimidate any American who has red blood in his veins and courage in his soul. We applaud the occasional sheriff who defies the members of the mob: are we sure that we should be equally brave? "On the other hand, let me say just as frankly and emphatically, that the colored people of this country owe it to themselves and to their friends to make it indisputably plain—as they usually do—that they are not countenancing or excusing any deeds of wanton violence or criminal reprisal by members of their own race. Self-defense is one thing; murder is another. The lawless man, whether white or black, is the enemy of society. He must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community. "If the cure of such evils—lynching in particular — can be accomplished through local agegies, by all means let it be done so. But if not, the time seems ripe for the adoption of the ocourse suggested by the Atlanta "Constitution" and the Houston "Post"; namely, Federal intervention." The Negro Organizatlon Society, of which Allen Washington, Hampton's commandant of cadets, is president, and John M. Gandy, president of Petersburg Normal School, is executive secretary, was heartily endorsed by Dr. Gregg, who said: "The only sure preventive and cure of the viciousness, injustice, and barbarity which lynching reveals is through such persistent, thoroughgoing education of both races as this Society is carrying on. Better homes, farms, schools, and churches, better health, better character—these only will make and keep Virginia what Virginia ought to be." Link New Orleans With Chicago, Says Congresman "Chicago and New Orleans should rather by the closest com- ties and the most efficient transportation. The destiny of the Mississippi valley lies between them," said Congressman James O'Connor of New Orleans, who came to Chicago yesterday to speak at the fifty-second anniversary of "Manchester Martyr" day at Orchestra hall this evening.

In attempting to point out the advantages in the training of the Negro for industrial pursuits if there is any great lack of training, it might be necessary to first consider the natural disadvantages that the Negro workman is confronted with in order to make any logical deductions in connection therewith. In his training for skilled work, he has very little opportunity to secure as much practice along different lines and in different establishments as are offered, without question to the white worker. But with the trade schools which have become more numerous, and such training along technical lines that he can receive in such schools, he has at least the background on which to build and develop a useful trade. While positions are not as easily secured in many cases, the colored worker has done wonderful work when taking into consideration this opportunities as compared with that of other workers. There are so many natural, yet unfair conditions, that he must encounter and overcome, that it is very hard to note, with any degree of accuracy, just which method of procedure along these lines would prove the most advantageous to the young nero artisan. One might work in a certain basic industry or large manufacturing concern and, through thrift and diligent application, be successful in a reasonable degree; but on leaving this establishment well recommended, he would nnd himself confronted with many obstacles that would prevent his securing the kind of position that he would be qualified to hold. He would meet jealous employees, unfair foremen, and a number of other conditions that would not be calculated to encourage him in the least. He might be invited to accept a position as porter. This of course ordinarily would be an insult to another man who was as well trained and as skilled as he. Nevertheless, he will find it necessary, in many instances, to accept a menial, underpaid position and by sheer taet and perseverance, he might be able to gain the confidence and respect of some of the superiors and eventually secure a better position. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Hardin, of 250 E. 37th St., celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary on Monday, Nov. twenty-fourth at the Unity Club with a reception and dance.

The Saturday matinee Dancing class at the Appomatox Club under the efficient dancing teacher Mrs. Etta Moore continues in popularity. The Men's Meetings on Sundays at 3 o'clock are more and more inspiring. The speaker last Sunday thoroughly impressed his audience by his clear presentation and sincerity of thought. Mr. E. C. Smith, who voluntarily took the leadership of these meetings, requests the co-operation of the membership and friends. The Wabash Avenue Department has been the recipient of many out-of-town secretaries, who passed through the city from the International Convention, held in Detroit. Among them were Secretary Duncan of Nashville and Mr. R. T. Weatherby of Atlanta. The ladies of the Y. W. C. A. staff were invited to a lunch and conference by the Y. M. C. A. staff. Many important matters pertaining to the work of both organizations were presented and many helpful suggestions resulted. Among the number of prominent citizens who took dinner in the "Y" Cafeteria after the Hazel Harrison recital, last Sunday, were Dr. and Mrs. N. A. Thorne, Dr. and Mrs. Waldo Alexander, Miss C. M. Dickerson and Mr. W. H. Haynes. A very splendid Thanksgiving dinner has been prepared for the men and will be served at 3 o'clock sharp. Through the co-operation of Mrs. Mary McKinley of the Patriotic Service League a number of young ladies will assist in making the occasion homelike. Among them are Misses M. Burgette, Nannie Strayhorn, Irene Hudlin, Zenobia Taylor, E. Clandon, C. Whitted, B Crowder and Miss M. Wilson. After the dinner the men will go to the Y. W. C. A. for a social evening. The State Older Boys' Conference, which will be held in Aurora, Ill., beginning November 29, will number about 500 young boys from 15 to 18 years of age. Twenty-two delegates, representing 11 different Sunday Schools, churches and clubs, will attend from Chicago. Boys' Secretary Stone together with a number of the Sunday School Superintendents, has worked very hard to get our group interested in the importance of such a gathering. The Chicago delegation will nominate one of its own for the secretaryship of the conference. Young Leonard Ball, who is developing much ability in the way of leadership, will be chairman of the delegation. COLORED RACE NO LONGER A CHILD GROUP. The negroes of the nation respect and honor their leaders who speak out fearlessly and constructively, not only condemning all forms of economic and social injustice practiced by white people, but also in condemning all forms of narrowness or bitterness which are found among black people. Those whites who are inclined to proceed on the assumption that the entire Negro race represents a "child" group need to realize that on account of the recent migration of half a million Negroes from the South, the world war, and other forces, including various propaganda agencies, Negroes in increasing numbers have come rather quickly to man's estate, and must be dealt with as mature, thoughtful determined men and women.

Dear Editor:—It was with a sense of welcome relief that I read your two editorials of the Nov. 22 issue. In these times of unrest, when false ideas for the amelioration of the conditions of the oppressed, both white and black, are being circulated by a group of irresponsible radicals, who hope to found a new world upon a thoroughly wholesale artificial basis, who cherish the illusion that direct action, unmitigated force, can by a sudden upheaval do away with all the evils against which they are so strongly opposed. In these trying times I must say that it is a great pleasure to see our paper is keeping a cool head, is holding aloof from these chimerical notions and is advocating what to me seems for the better, namely, a dispassionate survey of conditions and policy, and bettering our condition, not by direct action, but through racial solidarization and economic and business organization. I congratulate you upon your stand. It seems to me to be infinitely better for the colored man. Accept my best wishes for your continued success.

They have shown great aptitu Colored people in America have been gazing into the stars for a long time. They have shown great aptitude for interpreting handwriting on the wall. They have been looking to the hills for help. They have evidenced great love for emotional speeches and word-painted pictures. They have reveled and basked under the magic influence of rhythmic tunes and classic poetry. Now they are enthralled with spiritualism and mental healers. The average college trained colored youth is well supplied with historical dates, proverbial and platitudinal phrases. He is filled with classic and mythical lore. He comes on the threshold of life full of allegories and fanciful theories. The world today is calling for new efficiency along practical lines. The era of the day dreamer and the soap bubbles has passed. Poetry, songs and star gazing, while beneficial to the race in one respect, is not the imperative, indispensible need of the hour. In great universities today, in the selection of courses, all the advisers lay stress and emphasis on the political, social and economic sciences. These sciences have embodied within their purview the so-called "facts of life." It is encumbered upon the colored race to learn more of these concrete and abstract facts of life. We need more knowledge of life and how to live and less about death and how to die. In order to preserve the present advancement that the race has made during the meteoric years of freedom it is necessary for us to follow the drift of public opinion and to fit ourselves for successful competition in the daily grind of life. The mind of the individual colored man is filled with "philosophical hatred" for the objectionable American institutions, such as Jim Crow laws, mob violence and the unmitigated southern reign of terror. It is the desire and the intention of every full blooded colored man to eliminate these evils through methods that will travel along the lines of least resistance. The line of least resistance, unquestionably, is the line of racial stability. Solidarity and stability cannot be accomplished through star-gazing, poetical dreaming and sophomoric vaporings. This is the age of facts. This is the age of material expansion. This is the age of scientific achievement. This is the age of accurate exactitude. Germany built up her wonderful civilization and powerful fighting machine through her careful analysis of the facts of life. Her motive may have been questionable, but her achievements great. Germany has contributed 15,000 new books to the world since 1910, to America's 3,000. Germany has unraveled the intricacies of life, and even now stiffens international barter and trade. Japan, swiftly mounting the barriers of race and geography, is laying aside everything but the actual tools and material to build a monumental race. The colored man, even though he has been cheated out of his earning and denied the product of his own toil, has been the object of benevolent philanthropy. We are compelled, in the school world, in the church world and in the economic and business world, to fawn and bow to the charities of the other races. In the political world no candidate of color has been able to finance his own campaign with any degree of success. The real reason for this deplorable condition is the failure to study the "facts of life." No race has ever won the respect of the world through philanthropy. We must begin to use the new stroke in the irksome whirl of existence. The stroke of the master hand. The stroke of the New Negro. The money stroke. This money stroke must be derived through long vigils at night. Untiring brooding over the causes and effect of business achievements. Let us get away from the star-gazing. And get into the world fight—the fight for economic and political voice. Let us get away from song and poetry and get down to facts and figures.

IF NOT BETTER FULL AMERICAN RIGHTS I DEMAND THE OTHER ONE HALF AMERICAN RIGHTS THE TRADE THE CHICAGO WHIP The Fancy of Thanksgiving. The seasons have rolled into another Thanksgiving. The harvest is gleaned and under the halo of the Harvest Moon. the teeming millions, of those to the American manor born, pay homage to the supreme Diety of Christendom. The bells peal out—the church bells. The whirr and purr of the great factories ceases, the busy American lays aside the cares and realities of existence and soberly and suppliently bends his knees in Thanksgiving worship to the God Almighty. The time worn prayer again rings out from the good Samatarian and the wicked Levite 'The words fly up, the thought remains below, because words without thought never to heaven go. Hypocrite and Saint both pay obeisance for health, strength and life to the Everlasting Father. Many who are 'Whited Sepulchres' filled with human bones, are filled with the Thanksgiving passion. Many murderers raise their clasped hands stained with blood of black men to the throne of the all wise God. Many brother haters and soul blasters, many whose un-Christian rampages have left humanity trembling also feel thankful to God for life. A few moons ago the armistice signing was celebrated by the burning of a dark hued man. We wonder if some dark hued man will be offered as a thanks offering from the South. We wonder if the South is thankful and prays in the Solemn Sanctuaries for the unmitigated LYNCH LAW, the Jim Crow institutions and the black man under its serfdom. We wonder if the South is grateful for the full moon, the full stomach and the full harvest gleaned by black hands and ripened by black industry? We wonder if the South is grateful for the outstretched wage-slaves' hand beseeching for an equitable share in the product of his labor? We wonder? The colored man also is thankful. He is seen faithful to the sacred signals of the somber church bells and the May-flower landing day is made the thank offering day of the American colored man. What is he thankful for? We wonder if he is thankful of the 69 lynchings. We wonder if the colored man is thankful for the red dyed blot on the American counenance called Arkansas? We wonder if the colored man is thankful for those twelve innocent men who have received the death sentence and the twenty-four who are to live within the prison walls for life. We wonder if these men are thankful for the laws and the Southern scheme of justice and fair play? No; the colored man is not thankful for these insidious and pernicious conditions. The colored man is filled with philosophical bitterness for it all. He is thankful and his anthems are filled with angelic charm and melody. He is thankful for the gift of God to his race of the New red blooded, clean cut manly individual styling himself the New Negro. All America is thankful for this virulent and ambitious type of citizenship. This type that believes in Peace, Union, Freedom and Liberty. May the next Thanksgiving season give us more like this to eliminate the barbarity of the South. EDITOR'S MAIL. The Editor of the Chicago Whip. Dear Sir:—I have been intending as far back as the first appearance of your paper to send you this word of appreciation. I like the "Whip" very much. It is certainly a great paper and a step forward in the journalistic progress of our particular group. The editorials inspire me as being exceptionally good. Indeed, I think them the equal of those in the majority of newspapers, regardless of publication. Among my favorites have been the "Crimson Stain" and on Self-Sacrifice, and that on the high cost of living. Last but not least and most capable of the large number of articles. I have read this paramount subject. I wish you continued success and that you will receive all that very substantial support and encouragement you deserve. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 22, 1919. To the Editors of the Chicago Whip, Chicago, Ill. My dear friends: I am enclosing to you a copy of a letter which I am sending by the same mail to the Editor of the Chicago Defender. I will appreciate it very much if you will be kind enough to publish this letter in your com- ing issue of your journal. The letter itself is self-explanatory. Thanking you in advance for your courtesy in this matter, I am, Yours sincerely, Sutton E. Gripp. HOPE. (Los Angeles, Cat. Times) Through it all white people should keep their minds clear and not permit themselves to make the mistakes of thinking that all Negroes are alike. When some degenerates Negro assaults a white woman and is lynched for it, white people who do not think deeply come to the conclusion that every Negro would assault a white woman if he did not stand in fear of lynching. Now, nothing could be farther from the truth than this conclusion. Anyone who knows the Negro people knows it is not true. The Negro who assaults or who desires to assault white women is the exception. We do not fear to say that this kind of Negro numbers only one in 10,000. And that is just as good an average as white people can claim. The fact is that the average Negro is not at all attracted by white women—he much prefers his own women. WE ARE TO REMEMBER THAT THERE HAVE BEEN AND STILL ARE WHITE MEN WHO PREFER Health Hints The secondary symptoms, as they are called, follows the initial manifestations. In nearly every case they are sometimes so slight as to be overlooked by physician and patient. Nature rarely works by abrupt divisions, and in syphilis, as in all other diseases, the symptoms of one stage merges into and after coexist with those of another. The stress and broad facts to be remembered with syphilis is that it usually falls upon one system, i.e. the skin, bones, nervous system or internal organs; and in most all cases a definite course may be discovered and accounted for its predilection. The secondary stage occurs in 4 to 6 weeks followin with the primary sore, terminating with its disappearance. The outbreak is generally preceded and accompanied by a feeling of great discomfort—a slight rise in temperature, marked anemia and severe headaches in the front and back of the head, occurring after strains, overexertion, worry and wear on the nervous system. These headaches come on after one's day's work is done. Pain, especially in the long bones, being worse at night, and occasionally localized to one part. Glands nearest the point of infection being the first to be enlarged, they are firm, hard, painless, freely movable under the skin, and show no tendency to break down. The skin and the eyes often have a yellowish tinge, which show evidence of liver involvement. There is also at this period some infection of WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL. (From The New York News.) Jim Crowism Must End. We trust that the Republican House of Representatives will not fail in its patriotic duty to take high ground and courageous action upon the Madden Anti-Jim-Crow Amendment to the railroad bill. The railroads of the country will be shortly taken from Government control and returned to private ownership. The stalwart Congressman Madden of Illinois proposed an amendment to the Esch bill providing for the roads' return which abolishes all separate accommodations on interstate travel based on race, color or previous condition of servitude. This amendment the House voted down on Saturday 142 to 12. Final action on the measure was postponed until the present week. There was the same time serving, faint hearted action upon the majority of the Republicans who voted that has almost always marked their course. We find Congressman Snyder from New York taking full agreement with the position of Democratic Representative Summers of South Carolina. We trust that the colored voters of Congressman Snyder's district will fittingly rebuke him when his name appears in the Republican Primaries next September. We urge the colored voters of every Northern State to ask their Republican Congressman when they come up for election next Fall to explain their vote on the Madden Amendment. They must know from this day forth who of their friends have the courage of their convictions. It has been this same cowardly supine indifference upon the part of the Republican Party in times past that has enabled the Democratic Party of Dixie to work unhindered its vicious will against the black man. The time is now when cooled citizens in the Northern and especially in the close, pivotal border States must hold the Republican Party to a strict accountability. No question is ever settled until it is settled right. If the representatives of colored citizens whom their votes have helped to put into office do not stand up and have their votes counted upon the side of civic equality and justice for them they must revenge themselves at the next Primaries against such candidates. We do not believe that a single Congressman from New York could be found who would be so willing to vote against the human rights of the Jewish race in this country. We as colored citizens must make it equally hazardous for our representatives to vote against a square deal NEGRO WOMEN TO THEIR OWN RACE. ONE OF THE GREATEST LAWYERS AMERICA HAS EVER KNOWN WAS ONE OF THESE. Neither are we to forget that during the Civil war the cultured white women of the South were left wholly at the mercy of Negro guardians while their men folks were away in the battlefields. And these women were not violated. The Negro then answered for himself and his answer was sublime. the throat and mouth, having moist papules called mucus patches, which are found on the mucus membranes and wherever there are folds of skin producing heat and moisture. These patches are depressed ulcers, covered with a dirty grayish membrane, painless, giving only a slight discomfort. It is kissing by which this infection is contracted. Eruptions on the skin are first noticed, on the back and shoulders, spreading over the entire body, face, head and hands. Itching is a common symptom; other symptoms may also be accompanied by more or less. Loss of hair, being distinctly thinned, and falls out all over the scalp, occurring in small patches, giving it the so-called "moth eaten" appearance. The patches are seldom bald, but the hair that remains is dry and lusterless. In most cases the hair returns on treatment. The nails also show a change. They lose their shiny or glistening appearance and become brittle, having a tendency to break at the free edge; they yield to treatment very slowly. The eyes become inflamed, causing an inflammation of the iris in nearly $60\%$, this occurring within 8 to 10 weeks after the first lesion; then both eyes are soon affected. The greatest damage done by syphilis is to the nervous system, causing tobes and general paralysis. Treatment at this stage in the young patient should be kept under control, thereby checking the progress of the tertiary stage and its debilitating influences. In the intemperate, tuberculosis, rheumatic, gouty, malarious ones, suffering thus, syphilis takes its course in the malignant forms. (To be continued.) cuse for any Northern Republican to for us. There is no apology or exowake any such attitude. There is no man with sufficient intelligence to be Congressman who has such ignorance as not to know that separate accommodations do mean inferior accommodations for colored people. But the same line of procedure as enabled the outlawed slave trade to continue and flourish, the same sort of hostility upon the part of the South and cowardly connivance upon the part of the North as enabled the Missouri Compromise, the Dred Scot decision and slavery itself to degrade the nation and chain a people, the same criminality upon the part of Dixie and false, craven sympathy upon the part of the North that made possible the Ku-Klux Clan, lynching and disfranchisement still holds sway it seems in the Congress of the United States. The following Associated Press report of the part of proceedings is a duplicate with subjects changed of the debate in Congress upon all the inhuman wrongs practiced against the black people of the South. The report follows: Representative Summers declared the action on the Madden amendment would determine "whether or not the people of the county down there who understand this situation shall be privileged to do the best they can and handle a difficult situation, or whether by national legislation you will inject an irritating situation that will make the streets of the Southern cities run red with the blood of the people you are trying to save. To Prevent Friction. Full agreement with his position came from Representative Snyder (Rep., N. Y.), who declared the interests of safety made it necessary to prevent any race friction. "I am firmly of the belief," he added, "that we are confronted with difficulties enough in this country already without bringing in this issue at this time." We say, to the gentlemen of the Congress: Jimcrow cars are a national disgrace and a violation of the Constitution. In this year of 1919 after the World War for Democracy, the colored citizens of this Republic do not intend to stand for such outrage. The South may provide different classes of railroad passenger travel with accommodations according to prices charged. This will solve its railroad passenger problems and this is right. But the nation must eventually abolish Jimcrow cars. If it is wise it will do it now!
