WORLD ENDS JAN.1 This is the Time for Hard Thinking and a New Awakening. Present polling strength of the Negro in the Second Ward is 50,000. If every eligible Negro was registered, the "black" vote would approximate 75,000. In other words the political strength of the Second Ward resides in the Negro vote if the United States is a representative government. The following questions naturally present themselves to every Negro voter in the Second Ward if he has common sense or can read and understand: 1. What has this numerical strength and political strength given to the Negro in the Second Ward? 2. Is vice immunity the only political plum that Negro aldermen can secure in the way of patronage? 3. Are appointments to civil offices to Negroes to continue to be with the proviso that such appointee are to seal their lips on all issues involving the race? 4. Has Edward Wright of the Corporation counsel's office ever tried a case in court? Has the late George Ellis of the Corporation counsel's office ever tried a case? Has Edward Wilson, Assistant State's Attorney ever tried a case with the exception of Oscar DePriest in connection with vice charges in the Second Ward? 5. Is Sam Ettelson more capable than some Negroes in the Second Ward for the position of Corporation Counsel? 6. Is George Harding getting full return on the money that he spends in Second Ward politics? 7. Will the Harmony scheme of George Harding et al make it impossible for an honest independent candidate to run for an elective office? 8. Can the present political "powers" get Mr. Harding's permission to stop the outrages of the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association? 9. Can Mr. Harding, a large property owner in the South Side assist in reducing high rents? 10. If two thousand dollars can be spent for a "harmony chicken dinner" how much can the bosses get from the city for a Branch Library on the South Side? 11. Would the voters of the Second Ward prefer to have open and protected vice to playgrounds and free milk stations? 12. Does the average voter want men or monkeys for their spokesmen in representative offices? 13. Is the average voter content with "machine made" men who have promised before election Ward magnates their soul and in some cases their bodies? 15. Where are the contracts that are due the Second Ward Negro dealers and Negro labor? 16. Is the average voter satisfied to see Civil Service perverted to the patronage system of politicians? 17. Is the Republican Party to be placed before Negro interests simply because it is the Republican party? 18. Shall the Negro have mere puppets for representatives instead of intelligent, resourceful and capable men? 19. Shall the Harmony or other "made in Hardingland" cliques forever nominate, select and finance candidates for the Second Ward elective office? 20. Does the Harmony pro gram provide for a Negro Candidate for United States Senator? 21. Why does Senator Madden introduce a bill on Jim Crow legislation just before time for re-election? 22. Will Edw. Wright speak in the Committee any louder than he speaks in the Corporation Counsel's Office? The New Crowds Paper The Thinker's Paper. The Worker's Paper. Vol. 1.—No. 25.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1919 Challenge Resolution of South Carolina American Legion. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thru its chairman, Mary White Ovington, has issued a statement challenging a resolution of the American Legion of South Carolina which stated that the Association's activities would tend to cause friction between the races. The statement, which asserts that colored soldiers from South Carolina outnumbered white and that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored troops was less than among the white, is as follows. I am at a loss to understand your position regarding the work of a body that lays special stress upon securing due process of law rather than mob violence for Negroes whether they live in the North or the South. Our branches, in whatever states they may operate, voice the sentiment of the educated, law-abiding Negroes who have so recently helped America to achieve victory in the Great War. We note, however, that your resolution condemning our activities is from "the American Legion of South Carolina representing the white soldier who fought in the recent war." We feel that we are right in considering also the opinion of the colored soldiers of South Carolina, who outnumbered the white, particularly in view of the fact that among the colored there was less illiteracy their among their white comrades at arms. Very truly yours, Mary White Ovington, Chairman White Infects Colored People with Plague. White Infects Colored People with Plague. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 11.—The most dreaded of all plagues, the bubonic, is siezing a vital hold in Memphis. The isolation hospital is filled with infected victims, and under a serum treatment are readily responding. Will Johnson of Munn St. and Ike Lowery of Tchoupitoulas St. are the latest plague stricken unfortunates. Government Rat Trapper First Case. A government rat trapper, white, was the first person whose case was brought to the government's attention. He is said to have been contaminated by his contact with rats and other rodents. Great alarm pervaded the city, and it is feared that the contagion will become an epidemic. Many colored people are leaving for Canada and Alaska. PUBLICITY CALLED CURE. New York, Dec. 10.—Publicity rather than conviction is the best means of curbing the thousands of "get rich quick" schemes that have sprung up in the orgy of the postwar speculation, according to Huston Thompson, federal trade commissioner, who addressed the Association of Life Insurance Presidents at today's session of its annual convention.

Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 11.—Sam Conley and Oliver Webb were convicted of harcery in Judge Richard's Court yesterday and were sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in the County Jail House. Both pleaded not guilty. The Colored men were convicted of stealing harness from George F. Welch of Second St. Joseph Hall also was convicted and sentenced to 30 days in the chain gang. It is reported that white men with blacked faces have terrorized the neighborhood, and the Colored men are the victims of southern justice. Race Banker Dead. (Special to the Whip.) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10.—E. E. Cater, one of the most prominent colored business men of Atlanta, Ga., is dead. Mr. Cater has won the respect and admiration of all. He was cashier of Atlanta Savings Bank and also owner of a large grocery store. Mr. Cater was a member of the First Congregational Church and prominent in church and fraternal circles.

Protest Jim Crowing in Congressional Library. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, to-day made public an emphatic protest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington.

Appeal to Georgia's Governor for Immediate Release. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a telegram to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia calling the governor's attention to the lynching of a Negro near Macon, Ga., on Sunday night and asking for an investigation of the lynching and the punishment of the lynchers. The telegram, given below, calls attention to the fact that this makes the seventy-fourth lynching in the United States since January first and the twentieth in Georgia. The telegram reads: December 3, 1919. Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia. The seventy-fourth lynching in America since January first and the twentieth in Georgia occurred near Macon, Georgia, according to press dispatches, on Sunday night a Negro was put to death for wounding a farmer who will recover. As a signer of the Address to the Nation appealing to loyal Americans to stamp out mob violence and disregard of all law and order and as one who has shown himself to be against lynching, may we not appeal to you to use your official and personal powers to investigate this lynching and show lynchers that they cannot murder American citizens with imminence. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLLORED PEOPLE. "We desire most emphatically to protest", says the letter to President Wilson, "aigainst the policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to colored employees facilities which should be maintained for the use of all, and to the colored people of Washington and of the country in general the use of the restaurant maintained by federal taxes for the general public". The letter is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the Association. Watch for Our Special Christmas Edition! Americans Drink Less, The Negro a Valuable Asset. Smoke More. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 5.—Twenty Jerusalem, Tehran, Persian people visiting in America and studying astronomical phoenomena through our great observations has predicted the destruction of the world on the evening of Jan. 1, 1920. The prophet claims that a Mountainous meteor has been released from the sun and that it is even now earth bent traveling through space at an inconceivable and terrific rate of speed. WILL HIT AMERICA The great meteor, says the prophet, will straddle the Atlantic Ocean and will destroy the two hemispheres with its fearful momentum. The earth will be swallowed up an the immensity of space and men will cease to be. STARS PREDICT CATASTROPHE Prophet Taminras states that as an astrologist he can interpret star fluttering and the Star Siriis has given reason to cast the omen. Americans Drink Less, Smoke More. Losing Taste For Whiskey But Gaining Cigarette Habit Rapidly. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—America is losing its taste for strong drink, but is increasing the cigarette habit. These facts are disclosed by the report of the commissioner of internal revenue made today. During the fiscal year, before prohibition came to the nation, there was a decrease of 6,189,7337 taxable gallons of distilled beverage removed from bonded warehouses over the previous year. In the past year there were 46,500,-000,000 cigarettes consumed in the United States as compared with 8,-500,000,000 in 1910. The number of cigars was 8,000,000,000, the same as in 1910. Less Liquor Distilled. During the year there were produced 98,976,118.3 taxable gallons of distilled spirits, a decrease of 74,- 50,355.4 gallons over the previous year. At the close of the fiscal year when prohibition became effective there were 72,358,151.1 gallons remaining in bonded warehouses. The decrease in the use of spirits is attributed to oncoming prohibition, increases in taxes and the decreased demand for war purposes. At the close of the fiscal year the number of operating breweries was 669, as compared with 1,092 at the end of preceding year.

The leading astronomus in the western observations have given the laugh to the Sooth Sayer and claim that the meteor he spoke of was a joke. They admit however that a mysterious volatile substance had been falling into the Pacific Ocean off the west coast but they think that it was devitalized shooting stars. MANY PEOPLE PRAY. Many people being filled with superstition and ignorance have turned listening ears to the master faker and have begun to pray prayers that have been long before discarded. The Sooth Sayer also claims that he can talk with spirits and see things of terrible significance. The Negro a Valuable Asset. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 5.—Twenty five Negro farmers have united and purchased for $225,000 a three thousand acre cotton plantation in Mississippi, says the Manufacturers Record. The Negro is prospering in the South. While the race issue is a serious one, except when misled, the Negroes, as a race, are far more desirable workers than the vast hore of foreigners who strong many of the eastern and western centers of industrial activity. There are millions of Christian Negroes in the South. Not all of them may fully live the religion they profess, but for that matter neither do the whites, but the great mass of Christian eNegro can be easily led to do what is right and to co-operate with white Christians in the solving of the whole race issue to the good of both races, and with the race issue thus solved and the South free to a large extent from hordes of foreigners, this section would have a commanding power in the material development of the nation. Many great industries would seek the South because of its freedom from labor troubles. Even now the fact that the Alabama iron and steel district has been almost entirely free from any serious labor difficulties, while the Pittsburgh and Ohio and Chicago districts have been in the throes of a great revolutionary labor movement, is attracting the attention of the whole country. The importance of Christian education for the Negro cannot be over-estimated. --- Mrs. Thomas C.

When completely organized it will re-insure the business of the Fireside Mutual of Georgia and the Fireside Mutual of Ohio, giving at once an established business and agency organization. Incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio and AUTHORIZED TO SELL SECURITIES IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, the Company is now offering to the public a limited number of shares. Articles of Incorporation and License for the sale of the securities of the SUPREME LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY have been granted by the State of Ohio and officially approved by the departments of other states. The Company has been formed for the greater development and expansion of Insurance along Casualty lines among our people, and for the acquisition by purchase and reinsurance, subject to legal and departmental supervision, of life, health and accident organizations in various parts of the country. Admittedly, our greatest commercial advancement has been achieved in Insurance. And, while our few old line legal reserve companies and our many health and accident organizations have shared bountifully in the tremendous industrial expansion, yet, our greatly increased wages and highly enchanced standard of living have outgrown much of the Insurance now in vogue and have created an urgent demand for policies better adapted to this period of reconstruction. The SUPREME LIFE AND CASUALTY COMPANY comes to answer that demand. A carefully conceived campaign has been launched for the nation-wide sale of these securities and will be followed by the completion of the organization and the presentation of the Supreme Life and Casualty Policy. The Policy is the result of years of scientific study and actual experience; has been prepared by one of America's most eminent actuaries; embraces the most advanced ideas of Casualty, Life and Group Insurance.

And while forcing our patronage upon the white race, we succeeded in .making a PAUPER of every Negro who dared to enter into competition with them for his own peoples trade. AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE REAP We have today on deposit in various banks in Chicago that are ownd by the white race, millions of dollars and we have apparently been perfectly satisfied at not seeing a black face in the various departments of these institutions where thousands of boys and girls of all Nationalities are learning the banking business by acquiring some of their knowledge from keeping our accounts, while our boys and girls can only act as spectators. _ GIVE ALL, DEMAND NOTHING During all of these years, it is not a matter of record that any of our socalled leaders have ever gone among his people requesting them to withdraw their funds from this or that institution because they refused to give our boys and girls a chance. Such a stand taken by our men of influence would certainly have born fruit. Money is like votes. Black dollars and white dollars are all on an equal standing with each other. The Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large {inancial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. Ss i ; THE FASTEST SAFE WAY TO SAVE YOUR MONEY 4 ) The laws governing the insurance companies are so much more rigid than any other branch in the financial world that a failure of a ) Life Insurance Company organized under the Old Line or Legal Reserve Plan of the various states is almost unheard of. While it is a known fact money can be earned ) by labor, it can be multiplied only by investment. ) ; EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED ALIKE _ There is no Promotion Stock in this Company, nor is any stock issued for “Services Rendered.” The stockholders are all on an equal standing with each other, all paying the same price, $30.00 per share, for their stock and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the irol of the organization by a few owners prevented. It has been said, “It's the keen-brained man who invests at the start of an entreprise who makes all the money. The stragglers who come in later are the men who help make it." Do not be a straggler, send in your subscription today. Do it now!

Perhaps the only undisputed benefit man derives from his marital state is the fact that he can quarrel with impunity, legally, so to say, with a lady. Each one of us sits upon a dung hill, a tiny Jovelet, self-adoring. Tis indeed true that empty barrels make the loudest noise—but is it not quite difficult to become aware of the filled ones? God is indeed in Heaven, the Devil in Hell, and Man upon Earth. Could any dramatist suggest a better, a more picturesque stage effect? Among dogs you must expect to be bitten. And what is more unpleasant still, you must expect them to bark forth pompously their right and perfect justice to do the biting. In truth man is an ungrateful creature. He forgets his friends easily—for has he not blasphemed Ignorance and Folly all these years? Put a medal on the chest of a hunchback and straightway he shall feel as erect as a fir tree. the theater tickets for the week go to Dief Nesor, our own cartoonist, for his pictorial epic of Child's restaurant toothpick. The play, Mr. Nesor, is "The Girl in the Limousine." It is reported that Alexander Berkman, upon hearing of Henry C. Frick's death, merely said: "Well, he left the country before I did." At that, if Frick had his choice, he probably would have preferred his latest bourne to a welcome from the Soviets, Ltd. Louis Weitzenkorn DEMPSEY PICKED WINNER. Says He Expected Carpenter to Win Over Berkett Los Angeles, Cal., Dec 10.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion said here tonight Georgers Carpentier's victory over Joe Beckett in London was no surprise to him, as he had picked the French champion to win Dempsey said Carpentier was more scientific, quicker and a harder hitter than Beckett. "I am ready to fight Carpentier or any other fighter in the world if I get my price," said Dempsey. "Carpentier in all probability will be my next opponent and the meeting probably will come off next spring." HERMAN WINS BY K. O. Bantam Champ Disposes of Kid Regan in Three Rounds. St. Louis, Dec. 10.—Pete Herman, bantamweight champion, knocked out Kid Regan of St. Louis in the third round of a cheduled eight-round bout here tonight. The contest was about even until the third, when Herman delivered the knockout with a right cross to Regan's left jaw. LANGFORD SCORES K. O. Veteran Negro Wins His Fight With a Single Punch. Rockford, Ill., Dec. 10.—Sam Langford knocked out Dave McBride in one minute iwth a right uppercut last night. Who is the Champion? We've got a pretty bunch of evidence pointing to a loose screw somewhere in boxing. Something's wrong somewhere, and it's going to be our business to find out just where the ailment lies. Ever since poor old Jess Willard knocked out Jack Johnson the moguls of the squared arena have determined to keep the title out of the hands of any colored champions. Class or no class, the gates have been shut. There is where our kick comes in. Brother, this is just where our kick comes in. Line-up on Carpentier and Jeanette. Just look at the line-up of facts. Past week Joe Beckett was defeated by Carpentier. Joe Beckett is supposed to be the English champ and Carpentier is the only boxer of class in France. Carpentier is, without doubt, the best heavyweight in Euorpe. Knocked Britain's champ out in one round. All right. Now old Joe Jeanette beat Carpentier on points in a ten-round fight in Paris before the war. Clean out boxing. Set Paris by the ears, the way good old Joe did. Of course you might say that that was some time ago, but get this: Carpentier is now in nothing like the shape he was before the war. Four years of trench work and cigarette smoking have kinda put him on the blink. That means that Jeanette beat the guy who is champion of Europe when the champion of Europe was in the pink of condish. HOME-MADE LIQUOR FATAL. At Least 12 Persons Have Been Poisoned In Two Weeks. New York, Dec. 10.—At least 12 persons have been killed in this city in the past two weeks from drinking home made whisky composed principally of wood alcohol, according to the records of the city medical examiner. A physician in the office of the city medical examiner issued a warning not to drink the whisky which is being clandestinely sold in saloons now. Washington, Dec. 10.—Mail Christmas parcels early and avoid disappointment. This was the admonition today of the postoffice department and is due to the fact that the coal strike has caused a reduction of train service on some railroads and further curtailment doubtless will be necessary as the strike continues. PASTORS ARE ASSIGNED BY BISHOP. West Arkansas Conference of A. M. Church Glace at Hot Springs. E. Children Closes at Hot Springs. Hot Springs, Dec. 21.—The West Arkansas African Methodist Episcopal Conference, in session here since last Wednesday, closed last night with an announcement by Bishop J. M. Conner of the assignment of ministers for the coming year. Camden was selected for the 1920 meeting. Dr. J. E. Mooreland's Views on Racial Progress Show How To Get Results. New York.—Whenever the Government calls for volunteer service whether of National, state or local scope, the Young Men's Christian Association is always among the first of the great organized bodies to respond. The tremendous manpower of the Y. M. C. A. in the work for the comfort of the fighting men of the Army and Navy in the great world war was a potent factor in bringing about the glorious victory won by the Allies. This Nation is now in a period of readjustment which requires the loyal and patriotic assistance of every person living under our flag. The Government has designated the first week in January as National Thrift Week, at which time a campaign for the conservation of every item of production that goes into our National life will be conducted. In this movement the Y. M. C. A. will again do its share. Colored Men's Department of the International Committee will be headed by Dr. E. Moorland and judicious spending will be emphasized by every worker in the Thrift Week Campaign. The old saying that "a penny saved is a penny earned" should still be heeded. The high cost of clothing, food and fuel, high rents and the difficulty in getting a suitable place to live in should spur every family to make an effort to become their own landlord.

MORSELL, Props. Enter Mr. Wills. Here is where Mr. Wills of New Orleans comes in. Everybody's side-stepping. Gentleman, old Sam Langford won't have anything to do with him, and everybody knows how Sam and Joe Jeanette come out when they mix. Wills can put it all over Jeanette, and Jeanette is, comparatively speaking, an old-timer. Wills is a young man, got a reach like Jess Willard and a sweet by-and-by in both of his sledge-like mitts. Wills' name is like the vision of approaching death to Sam and he keeps the Boston Tar Baby "shimming with feat" lest sooner or later he should have to meet the gent in the squared arena. Dempsey the Side-Stepper. And not only does Sam side-step Wills. Jack the Giant Killer, a certain Mr. Dempsey, who sports the laurels of king fisticuffer, seems pretty anxious to avoid Mr. Wills sheep producer. Dempsey looks like he's going to avoid anything in the shape of Wills. Dempsey knows who can jolt up his little ribs. Dempsey's a wise guy. Wills the Boy with the Class. We are all for boosting Wills. And we will stake our reputation that Wills will be the champion if he ever succeeds in connecting with the agile Mr. Dempsey. Willsi s a boy who can bring home the bacon. In discussing the importance of using thrift in times like these, Dr. Moorland says: "Most people are in great need of learning how to use what they earn than they are in need of larger earnings. This applies in a very large way to the colored population in many parts of the country. It must be granted, however, that no group of people in the history of the world have made such tremendous progress along every line as the colored people of America have made in the last fifty years. Although the race has suffered many handicaps, yet it must be conceded that no group of people in the world have every had so much encouragement which has enabled them to make such splendid progress morally, educationally, and economically as the colored people of America have made. "Notwithstanding all of this, they have a big task ahead of them. They must more and more become a group of producers and take advantage with determination and skill of the various economic opportunities which are open to them. The race represents one ninth of the population—its goal must be one ninth of the economic efficiency of our country. Even now, the savings of the race have outgrown its banking ability. Great opportunities are open here for honest, upright men of the race to make a real contribution to the race and to their country. The inventive genius is rapidly increasing among colored people. Their enterprises will grow and prosper in proportion to their ability to properly conduct them. Too many have failed for lack of business experience and finances. The thrift habit will gradually correct this unfortunate condition and pave the way for other gainful employment in keeping with their training. The religious and educational institutions of the race must be better supported in the coming years. The necessity for this support will fall more heavily upon the race from year to year but it will be borne sufficiently if the people will quickly adopt methods of thrift and turn their earnings into channels which will bring back to them the returns they should receive from the large amount of money they handle each month. Building and loan associations will be a big factor in aiding the colored people to own their homes and the use of such agencies should be encouraged. "There is a growing hunger among the race for home ownership. This desire will insure a continuance of the colored man's patriotic and loyal devotion to this country. The home owner, the thrifty merchant and the well prepared worker will prove to be poor soil in which destructive agents may seek to uproot our historic and beneficial institutions. The encouragement of employers and every one connected in any way with the business and professional life of the race will bring rich returns to our great country. Let us make Thrift Week the center of a new beginning for self help that shall radiate throughout the land, giving impetus to every family to ring true to every racial ideal."

Star, Dec. 10.—That plans to Americanize foreigners must include colored men and women was the declaration of Prof. Charles M. Thomas, teacher of civics and economics at Dunbar High School, speaking before the Bethel Literary Society. He expressed his firm advocacy of the participation of colored people in the higher forms of civic leadership as regards all affairs which effect the life of his own race as citizens, and of the persistent demand for the full civil equality of all Americans. Among the interesting points touched on by Prof. Thomas was the increasing and successful participation of colored women in industry. He cited as an example, a new overall factory in Arkansas, capitalized at $100,000 entirely by Negroes. This new manufacturing plant, he prophesised, is likely materially to change the statistics for white and colored women employed in such plants.

SET BAD EXAMPLE FOR MEXICO — MORE MOB VIOLENCE HERE THAN ELSEWHERE N. Y., December 4, 1919. Te National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, believing that American lives should be protected not only in Mexico but in the United States, has sent the following letter to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Chairman Committee on Foreign Relations My dear Sir: The National Association for the Advocate your attention, in connection with the alleged bandits in Mexico, which are urged as groun United States Government, to the unpunished cans, not in Mexico but in the United States. protection for United States citizens in Mexico The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, be your attention, in connection with the alleged murders of Americans by bandits in Mexico, which are urged as ground for intervention by the United States Government, to the unpunished murder by mobs of Americans, not in Mexico but in the United States. As we approve of exacting protection for United States citizens in Mexico, may we inquire if the United States Government intends to require such protection of the Government of Mexico and not itself accord it? The records of the Department of State, published in Washington on November 28th and printed in the New York Tribune of November 29th, show that 9 Americans have died in Mexico since July 31. The press of this nation has recorded between July 31st and November 28th, some 38 murders in the United States by mobs, 2 victims being Mexicans, 36 Americans of whom 6 were publicly burned alive at stake. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People takes the liberty of presenting you, in parallel columns with the State Department's record of Americans dead in Mexico, the record of Americans done to death in the United States. The National Association calls your attention to the fact that the only public action of the United States Government through the Department of Justice with regard to these lynchings has been to publish stories of radicalism among Negroes. May we respectfully inquire through you as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and as a leading Republican, whether the United States Government intends to proceed upon the assumption that the murder of nine Americans in Mexico is of more significance to the people of the United States than the murder of 38 Americans of whom 6 were publicly burned alive, within the borders of their own country? The record follows.

Advertise in the Whip It's Worth While. 8th Regiment Notes There has been a general shake up in the commissioned personnel of the regiment during the past week. Captains James H. Smith and Lilburn Jackson have been relieved from command of Company C and the Machine Gun Company, respectively, and the former Lieutenants McGowan, Harang, H. E. Johnson, Shelton, Myers Gordon, McGwin, Lane, Price, McDonald, Bunn, Dismond, Murphy, Maxwell, Barnett, Riggs, A. H. and E. F. E. Williams have been dropped from the roster, all on account of their inability to actively assist in the recruitment and reorganization of the regiment. This process of elimination will be continued until the roster of officers will contain only those who have the spare time and will devote that spare time to the work at hand and the future work scheduled. On account of these eliminations, there will be several vacancies which will be filled from among the enlisted men of the regiment after due examinations embracing their mental, moral and physical fitness. These examinations will be held in January and any member of the regiment is eligible to compete regardless of his length of service or whether or not he knows anyone in the regiment. The Regimental Basket Ball Team was swamped by the Y. M. C. A. Team on Thanksgiving Day to the tune of 40 to 13. The 8th Regiment Team has several stars but team work was lacking. Since this defeat the team has been working hard and with a little more team practice will be able to cope with any team in the city. It is expected that the Indoor Baseball League will get under way before the new year. The Indoor Tennis Count is ready for use and with Basket Ball, Base Ball or Tennis games being played each Tuesday and Wednesday night, the public is beginning to turn out in goodly numbers. No admission fee to these games is charged and all are cordially invited. The First Annual Ball of the George L. Giles Post of the American Legion was given at the Armory last Monday night. This successful affair promises to be an annual society "fixture". Drastic "coal" orders have been received, and these orders necessitate the postponement of the 8th Regiment Annual Military Ball, scheduled for New Year's Night. Copies of "The Policy" of the regiment have been sent out to many organizations and they have, with few exceptions, declared themselves 8th Regiment Auxiliaries. The regiment contemplates putting in the Field all kinds of Athletic Teams to compete with teams of a similar nature not only in the City of Chicago, but throughout the United States. Good athletes of all kinds are needed. Our instructors will be specialists. Sam Langford has been approached with reference to taking charge of boxing instruction in the regiment and is expected to favorably consider the matter. John H. Patton, Lt. Col.

Through the reconstruction period following the close of the Civil War and for many years thereafter, the colored people of the south were the victims of all sorts of fake schemes by unscrupulous persons who practically robbed them out of their hard earnings. Among the first of this group of fakers were the root-doctor and the fortune teller. Then there followed in close succession the cheap jewelry and the patent medicine man. Being almost void of education and practical business experience the colored people were easily fooled into buying the wares of the faker until the practice soon became a deep seated habit. With the coming of the free school and the missionary educators the people began to become more enlightened and as they gained both knowledge and experience they used these qualifications for selfprotection, thus lessening the traffic of the faker. But like Banquo's ghost, the faker 'would not down.' His exploitations have continued to this day though in a milder form. Our country has just emerged victorious from the firing line of the great world war. We are now at the beginning of another reconstruction period and we find this same class of fakers busy at their trade exploiting the colored people of the rural districts out of their earnings in various ways. The Young Men's Christian Association will throw the weight of its influence against the faker class in its campaign of education during and after the National Thrift Week Campaign of the Government to be conducted throughout the country the first week in January, 1920. Dr. J. E. Moorland, senior secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the International Committee, of the Young Men's Christian Association, who has returned from a trip through sections of the country where the colored people from a large percentage of the population reports that he is convinced that there is an urgent need of an intensive campaign of education among our people against such a waste of their earnings upon such as the fake salesman and the quack doctor have to offer them. This, he says is the best remedy. Dr. Moorland says furthermore: "I was never so much impressed with conditions as I found them in the northwestern parts of Arkansas and southwestern Missouri. In the sections of these two states which I visited the colored people are prosperous and yet many of them yield to the tactics and unscrupulous practises of this class of merchants and venders at every turn. On the trains the news venders have no trouble to unload their warriors in sales to colored people, telling them they should buy because the white people did so. "In many cities and towns through which I passed the quack medicines are bringing high prices among the colored people because they have not yet learned to say no! to what they do not want or that which does not materially benefit them. If they were properly educated in judicious spending these exploitations would not obtain. I find that the colored people of Missouri like those in many other states of the Union contributed largely to the Liberty Loan. It is estimated that the colored people of Missouri alone bought upward a million bonds. The race should now turn its attention to home getting, educating the children and the economic conservation of the every day necessities of life." GEO. L.

In the line of progress and race development, we must not forget that we must concentrate, and focus our energy and determining force where it is most needed. Keeping alive ever the idea of the dominant spirit needed in any race, and that which vitalizes effort along the chief fields of racial endeavor is the evidence of a racial consciousness. The Hospital promoted by us and without the official white millionaire to dictate is officered wholly, and controlled only by Negro doctors. Away, and above the cupidity and treachery of any foolish nonsense of white superiority, we have our own colored graduated superintendent and nurses to look after our own colored patients. We are yet in our early years of race consciousness, but we are doing what we can do to promote a very needed enterprise, but without the concerted action of our real vital forces, you, your neighbor, and all of us we will ever be handicapped in all of our great movements that should speak eloquently of our development, and of our racial strength as determining whether we are forever to be regarded as an inferior or a superior race. The Lake Park Hospital is the Negroes Hospital. Its hopes, aims, and success depend upon every Negro that has a spark of racial pride in his bosom. We are a great people, we must stop being laughed at. We must put our racial imprint indelibly upon everything worth while, and boss our own institution just as we control our own churches and lodges. We have a hospital that is nearly perfect. Everything that a hospital requires to make it what a hospital ought to be. Facility is not lacking in any of its departments. Plenty of light and well regulated sanitation that meets every hygienic requirement of the City of Chicago. A large corps of polite, graduated trained nurses who represent our educated, Christian womanhood, presided over by one of our own. A leading race woman and Superintendent and every finished touch for comfort for the sick and suffering. This Appeal Is To You. We must unite to promote great enterprises. Great Enterprises when fostered by us determine largely what our capabilities are. Strive as we may, without the combined force of our own people, our fight to keep up this line of progress will be a fruitless struggle. We need the church, the club, the lodge, the associations, and all noble organizations at our back. Negro Surgeons, Nurses, and Internes, Negroes in control of our own BIG LAKE PARK HOSPITAL. Its maintenance is a racial duty pressin alike on every colored man's and woman's shoulder. We are at present dominated by the white boss in politics. There are civic organizations fostered by us but dominated by some white office down in the loop. But here is the Lake Park Hospital absolutely free from white man bossism — free from the cunning and financial dictation of any white boss. Why can't we make Lake Park Hospital the mecca for sick people just as St. Luke is for the better element of the white people. The credit of our success will be yours, and remember if we should fail the condemnation is upon the entire race. We will be left to hope amid our struggle to hold the race banner high, if this appeal can arouse you to earnest resolute action. Respectfully, M. L. Skajors, M. D.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. HARMONY AND FUN It is extremely interesting to note the sudden unheralded unexpected wave of "harmony" in Chicago's colored ward politics. All axes have been buried, all festering sores have been healed, all sore heads satisfied, and all factions cemented together. Harmony fills the air, tranquility and fun-making supplants the old "tragedy of errors." Harmony has been celebrated by a great banquet, "donated by one of the Ward Harmony Kings." The fun-makers uncorked the liquid vial of eloquence, stirred up the sluggish souls of black voters, filled them with harmony, chicken and slush and then left for their homes, gloating over the victory. In somber minded perusal of the Harmony Coalition, it appears to us that we are again intended to be made the goat. Woe unutterable. The political scheme in America, evolving from the womb of Republicanism, has played havoc with the colored people. Republicanism has witnessed the disfranchisement of the black man, his taxation without representation, his exploitation by crooked leaders, his denial to justice and equality, and Republicanism has sat by and silently watched the way upward closed to the man of color. Republicanism, an ideal conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. The ideal of the Government of the people by the people and for the people is pure and unadulterated. The ideal of Republicanism is unapproachable. Republicanism has not failed. But the men that have applied the present scheme of politics have failed. There is no Republican party. It is a misnomer and a joke. Republicanism in Chicago is a joke and the leaders are jokes. Political scheme in the South Side is the colossal of spectacle of the world and may be fairly considered as one of the "eight wonders." Under the leadership of the "Harmony Kings" of Republicanism in the colored ward, unmitigated vice has corrupted the environment, filthy political lucre has spoiled the stamina of leaders, crafty vote profiteers have filched the jobs, stolen the patronage, fooled the people, and now they wave the olive branch of peace and declare that "harmony" is here. What is "harmony?" It means synchromatic or pleasing to the ear. The "harmony" speeches made on the night of December the fourth, were pleasing to the ear of the unsophisticated, cringing, crouching Uncle Toms. They, with full stomachs and aromatic cigars were elated, illusioned and chloroformed with worn out jokes, high-sounding phrases and illusory promises. One speaker, State Senator George F. Harding, in moanful, suppliant tones, cried out in rasping voice: "I wish I knew what you people wanted, and I would do all I could to get it for you." The old school stigmatized individual wants his mit greased, the so-called leaders, ignorant and pusilanimous, want to collect the income tax on vice and wax fat on graft The clean, intelligent and virile type of colored citizen want congressional and legislative representation in cognizance with their voting strength. They want positions in the government of State where real service can be rendered by real men and not simply draw salaries and play the part of dummy office holders. They want men prepared to give constructive service to the world to be placed in leadership. They want the death knell to be sounded over unprincipled and ambitious "ward healers." They want flagrant institutions like the Kenwood and Hyde Park "Gang" crushed out. They want libraries and ward playgrounds and adequate police protection. They want the vote profiteers to be exterminated. These are the answers to the Hon. George Harding. As long as we allow ourselves to be duped, beguiled and harmonized so long will we occupy the status of half man. This is no time for harmony. This is the era of constructive service and new intelligent organization. This is the era when pure voting strength must bring results. This is the era of facts—not sentiment. This is the era of reconstruction not satisfaction. This is the epoch of achievements and not stationary attainments. This is the epoch of courage—not cowardice. This is the age of new men and new ideals not parties and insipid propaganda. It was our Careonized Saviour who saw that come a radical to tear down Mosaic theories. Jesus a radical because He turned the tide of existin saved the world. Down through the pages of histo present day we observe that radicalism in some for the incipient ingredient in progress. RADICALISM OF THE NEGRO. Let us get together and consider some salient facts in the unclouded light of reason, where truth and common sense will be offered and not banquets, charity and hypocritical mouthings. THE CHICAGO WHIP EDITOR'S MAIL. EXPLAINING RADICALISM Editor "The Whip." Dear Sir: MANY CRITICS lay stress on the claim that the progressive schools of though among the colored people were "TOO RADICAL." Representative Byrnes and other Southern leaders and their Northern sympathizers are incensed with the spirit of the "Crisis" and the "Messenger," our two most constructive magazines. THE WHIP, also, has not escaped the watchful eye of the "National Negro Censors," and it is claimed that the propaganda that it circulates causes undue unrest and fertilizes the Negro's mind FOR NEW FANGLED IDEAS. If this is true, our first victory is won. If being "too radical" offends those who wish to suppress our Race, we need more offenders. Just looked into the "Whip." Heard the boys all talking about it ever since the riot in your town. Has made quite a hit in Boston. People out here gobbled up your riot news and have been eating up the paper ever since. I for one must express my appreciation for the fearless stand you took on that occasion. I believe that with you fellows championing our cause there's going to be high doings in regard to the solution of the whole Negro problem. You've got pretty same ideas about leaders ship. The victory we claim, however, does not carry much weight. The idea of radicalism which those contaminated with Negrophobia criticize, is not the real radicalism that we conceive nurture and foster. OUR CRITICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT RADICALISM IS. In the medium of their color-blinded vision, they consider or assert that any step that puts the Negro on the plane of real unsullied manhood is a radical step. Editors Chicago Whip. Dear Sirs I want to apologize for bothering you, but I'll hazard the guess that an expression of my good-will will be appreciated by you. I'm of some importance in my town, and it isn't everybody whom I leigate honor with my notice. But your paper, curiously enough, commands attention. I read them all—New York, Chicago, St. Louis and four or five from the South. I read them all, and I must say that of the bunch yours is the most original. There's a compelling force about the thing that makes it stand out. Linton and Bibbs, I be lieve, are your names. Well, I'd like to meet you. I'm convinced that you fellows are doing a big job, and doing it well. Thanks. WE HAVE HEARD the Soviet Government called radical. The Kolchak followers called radicals; the Bolsheviks called radicals; in the same breath the I. W. W.'s and the labor unions are called radical. According to popular opinion, Carranza is a radical and the Sonora land laws are radical results. Woodrow Wilson is radical, it is said, and the League of Nations is an adical result. The land laws of California is a radical measure. EVERYTHING NEW AND EVERYBODY WITH NEW IDEAS IS RADICAL, ACCORDING TO SOME. THOSE who advocate realism and syndicalism; those who represent peace and submission (Oswald Garrison Villard); those who cry for war; those who are conscientious objectors are called radicals. THIS PROVES TO US THAT AVERAGE AMERICAN INTELLECT HAS NOT BEEN PUT TO SEVERE TRAINING. Because they fail to understand what is meant by radicalism? Radical is from the stem radi, meaning "roots" used mathematically, and otherwise scientifically applied. More literally it means "thorough." Radicalism was first used in application to groups of people in 1816 when a faction in England attacked the representation system in Parliament. It was Americanized when the Republican party advocated reconstruction policies. RADICALISM HAS BEEN USED TO REPRESENT ANY SYSTEM, GROPS OR IDEA THAT WOULD CHANGE DRASTICALLY EXISTING CONDITIONS. Radicalism, like everything within our cosmetic creation, has its degrees. Those who advocate changing existing conditions suddenly and diametrically are ultra-radicals. Those who wish to change existing conditions by bettering economic conditions and delving in speculative phenomena "may be called scientific radicals." THOSE WHO DSPASSIONATED WEIGH INTERESTS AND BALANCE CONVENIENCES AND ANALYZE THE FACTS OF LIFE AND AT THE SAME TIME POINT OUT THE EVILS AND SUGGEST PRACTICAL AND MORE OR LESS INFALLIBLE REMEDIES ARE RATIONAL RADICALS. THE WHIP IS A RATIONAL RADICAL. Very sincerely and with all good wishes. J. C. Davenport, Long Island. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL (Cleveland Advocate). WE SHALL ENDURE. There are twelve millions of us in America. We constitute an integral part of the nation. As such, then, we ought not to be considered separate and apart from the rest of Americans, but as one and indivisible. This is a theory. But, on the contrary, in practice, we are classed as "Negroes"—being totally different from the rest. We are discussed pro and con—as to our virtues, if any, our shortcomings, our hopes and fears—and designated as "A Problem." Dream as we may, it is a fact, that to white Americans "We are a problem." Let us muse over this assertion: From out the harrowing past arises that retarding bogey—"You are a problem." Hardly, ere the leaves begin to bud green on the tree of youth an early "eproblem" frost turns them to a russet hue—Nature's sign of decay. THE IDEA OF CONSERVATISM, is the opposite to that of radicalism. Conservatism means a willingness to abide by the existing order of social, economical and political affairs. The existing order of affairs is all wrong and everybody knows it. We can not shut our eyes to the hypocrisy of great nations and the wiles and artifices of great leaders. We can not fail to feel the sting of the latent and patent injustice of our government towards us. We must strive to change the present system and national opinion toward us. IF WE WISH TO BECOME THE "ARCHITECTS OF OUR OWN FATE" WE MUST STRIKE OUT OF OUR MINDS THE IDEALS OF CONSERVATISM AND BECOME RADICALS. We look to the South, that most favored of Nature's sectors, and "You are a problem" stalks forth, followed by the mob with rope and blazing fagot, and we sadly close our eyes on the horrible scene to be enacted. An optimist is ever a dreamer. In spite of the fact that "You are a problem," had vanished myriads of fond hopes, we remained optimistic—continued to dream—continued to nurse the delusion that some day justice, arising from her couch of DIPPING INTO the future we see a race of mottled people with bowed heads and bruised backs, gliding to and fro in the great United States, ostracized and depressed. Existing by the sweat of ignoble tasks. Where ignorance and illiteracy are the predominant earmarks and cowardice and accepted inferiority are the despised legacies, in every avenue of life he is avoided and shunned. In no department of this great government has he a voice. An exile and alien to the folds of Anglo-American civilization. THE NEGRO, the VICTIM OF CONSEQUENCE IRVATISM. LET'S TAKE US ANOTHER DIP into the future in a star of hope over this horizon. We see a cottled race, with clear eyes and genteel carriage through the busy marts of trade in great America; singing faces and subdued voices and cultured manner, pride, racial pride, along the highways. WE SEE EID AND AGGRESSIVENESS, THE RULING PASSION within Congress halls, mottled men deliberating that a great nation. We see this Race of people loved, and respected. THE NEGRO, THE PRODUCT OF ISM. To your tents thyre O ISRAEL and in your fact and in the consideration of racial loyalty, we sets and liabilities of radicalism. GONORRHEA Near before in the history of mankind has the world given such important consideration to the eradication of social diseases as the present. The World's War marked but a beginning of an end; a fight not alone. Democracy, but a fight for the protection of man's power, virtue and morality. The draft revealed the unfitness of our manch, stalwart men; no man can be useful if physically unfit and to protect the physical condition the U.S. Dept. of Public Health established a restricted zone for soldiers and sailors around their cantonments and in cities for the protection against prostitution and evils of the Red Light districts. It hindered the output of munition plants, factories, coal mines and ships. Their outline being divided into 4 classes. 1. Social measures to diminish sexual temptations. 2. Education of soldiers and civilians in regard to venereal diseases. 3. Phophylotere measures against venereal diseases. 4. Medical care. Likewise the laity, newspapers, movies, lectures, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Women's Clubs, American Social Hygiene Association, State, Civil, Nationtl Health Boards, all have joined hands and reneeded out to save the young man and woman from its exposures. Gonorrhea is not a new disease, it is as old as mankind and its ravages have undermined the vigor, health of man for centuries untold, even before medical science originated and hygienic measures of the wise legislators gave its legal sanction. Gonorrhea is a contagious purulent inflammation of the mu-shrill lent inflammation affecting he mucous membrane of the genitals of both sexes. It attacks the anterior or lethargy, would annihilate that cursed spectre. The world war broke with all its fury, with all its horrors of devastation and debasement, and even "the problem" was called to help press back the advancing victorious brutal Hun, and make "The World safe for democracy." Our hope rose high, when the job was done. We indulged the old hope now garlanded and festooned with mighty deeds, that "You are a problem" had been banished from the lips of Americans. When the prows of the transports pointed American-ward, when they cut the rough sea homeward bound, our hopes rose higher. But hardly had the transports discharged their cargo of black heroes—"croix de guerre" and triumphant, then "You are a problem" arose, and waving its satanic wand, stride on before, besmirching the domes of public places with the stain of race prejudice, and marking railroad coaches with signs—"Foo Colored." Hope, springing eternal in the human breast, bade us look towards the Capitol of the Nation, where resides the president who wrote "The New Freedom." We looked gladly, but also, amidst the sound of trumping feet of mobs, the volley of guns, the expiring moans of the dying we heard a voice saying "You are a problem." Yet we were not downhearted. Hope bade us look again, and toward posterior portion of the urethra or both. It may be acute, subacute or chronic and is acquired by sexual contact. We find that Moses laid down laws for those who suffered from a discharge from their urethra. In (Lev. XV, 2, 5,) Says: "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them where any man hath a running issue he is unclean." "And this shall be the uncleanliness in his issue whether his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanliness." Moses not only claims uncleanliness of person but his bed sheet, articles he used and people with whom he comes in actual contact. After a cure he was to atone for such sins before he resumed his social functions. It was prevalent among the Jews because of their unhygienic mode of living and their sexual incontiences—because of which circumcism was invented. All the great thinkers of those days took a keen interest in medicine and referred to gonorrhea. Aristotle, Plato and Seneca were well acquainted with this disease. Epicurus the gay philosopher suffered from it all his life—and after a struggle for a cure put an end to his misery by committing suicide. King Charles VII was prevented from recovering his kingdom of Naples because he was a sufferer. King Henry IV of France was among the many royal patients of that century. It is not a disease of class, caste, or social rank. It survades without formality or introduction all ranks of men and women, for every case of gonorrhea owes its existence to another case from which it has received the virus. Hippocrates says "No disease has more varied symptoms than this (gonorrhea.) It is commonly found in youth, in women and men. In the bitter it is always more rebellious but nobody dies from it. Its usual results are suppuration of bladder, urethra, rectum joints due to too excessive indulgences in the pleasures of Venus. (To be continued.) the North, on the Great Lakes—where we fought with Perry—we looked, and the blood-congealing scene—our kinsmen mobbed and killed on Lake Michigan shores loomed up before our weary eyes. "Look to the West," our smoldering hope again implored us, and as we fixed our eyes where "the star of the empire takes its course," even there the incendiary blood-thirsty mob at Omaha echoed back the declaration, "you are a problem." --- We ask ourselves, "Why are we a problem?" We speak the language of our country, and in its purest form, without a mention of foreign accent. We marry from states from which our country selects its presidents. Our attire is the same as worn by those who move, unrestricted, up and down their country—our country. We act, sleep, and live as others eat—as is the custom with those who come within the pale of American civilization. The tradition of our past is not sullied with a Benedict Arnold, or a John Wilkes Booth. We worship the same Omnipotent God; chant the same hymns to His glory; how as lowly in supplication to Him as do our white brothers, who stride before us bearing the placard, "You are a problem." We gave when our country called, freely, gladly, exultantly, of our money and our blood—red blood—the same as did our brothers. And yet "We are a problem." Why?
