RENEWS FIGHT ON RACE --- DR. GEORGE HALL CHALLENGES O. O. VILLARD IN DETROIT New Remedies For Modern Conditions COLORED PRACTICALLY SLAVES IN SOUTH AFRICA THE NEW CROWDS PAPER THE THINKER'S PAPER THE WORKER'S PAPER Vol. 2.—No. 2 RENI DR. GEORGE CHALLENGE VILLARD IN New Remedies For Mo Dr. Geo. C. Hall, leading physician in Chicago while speaking a few days ago in Detroit openly and on the same platform with Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor of the Nation, and Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison took issue with that gentleman and was greeter by tremendous applause and appreciation for his courageous speech. Mr. Villard states that the Negro must be patient and pacific and avoid agitation of the present offenses. Mr. Villard claims that the Negro would be persevering and long suffering and "turn the other cheek." Dr. Hall claims that no one medicine cures all diseases, that no wise physician prescribes the same for all patients. That pacifism and patience is not the medicinal for all racial ailment. That each case requires separate diagnosis and specific treatment. (Dr. Hall further states that this no time for pussy-footing and watchful waiting but for intelligent concerted attack on existing evils with all necessary methods. Dr. Hall believes in intelligent demand of citizen rights and agitation among his fellows will give concerted action and unity to this purpose. Violence is not the method to be adopted but no cringing, crouching, antebellum methods will be tolerated by the New School. Dr. Hall prayed for a man's chance for the colored man in America. Dr. Geo. C. Hall is the pride of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and has a great following among the intelligent groups of the race and his words have burned into the breasts of the New Negro. COLORED PRACTICE SLAVES IN SO Many people, were under the impression that the interests are rights of the natives would see a some recognition when Home rule was granted to South Africa, out the recent incident at Southampton, when four members of the African native delegation were not allowed to return home on the Edinburgh Castle because African officers threatened to throw them overboard if the ship authorities allowed them to travel shows that the color bar is just as strong today as ever it was. In proof of this, Sol. T. Plaatje, author, lecturer and journalist, had a moving story to tell a Glasgow Forward representative. Mr. Plaatje, who is editor of the People's Friend (Kimberley), is chairman of the native delegation to Britain, and is on a lecture tour of this country. He is probably the first black lecturer to appear on the Socialist platform in this country. Mr. Plaatje said it was a crime to employ a native at skilled work. They are allowed to do only menial labor for which they receive 1 shilling 6 pence (about $37 \frac{1}{2}$ cents) per day, and they require a special pass to enable them to work. In ad --- The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY 1919 RECORD LYNCHING YEAR, 78 MET DEATH FROM MOBS Complete lynching statistics for the year 1919, made available today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, showed 78 mob murders during the year, the greatest number of any year since 1915, when 96 persons were lynched. Georgia leads the list of states with 21 lynchings, Mississippi follows with 12. and Alabama and Arkansas are third and fourth in the list with eight and seven lynchings respectively. Of the persons lynched in 1919, four were white Americans, two were Mexicans and 72 were Negroes. Shooting to death claimed 27 victims, hanging 23 and burning at stake 13. Nine of the victims were ex-soldiers of the United States Army. In the list of alleged causes of lynching, murder is given in 27 cases, assault in 14 cases, shooting of a white man in 7 cases. In less than one-fifth of the lynchings of 1919 was assault upon women even alleged as a justification. The list of alleged causes of lynchings is as follows: Members of Non-Partisan League...1 Insulting white women...5 Altercation with white man...1 Attempting to pull white woman from horse...1 Trouble between white and colored cotton mill workers...1 ETICALLY SOUTH AFRICA dition, they must have a pass to leave by the front door, and another to leave by the back, so that if a native got a pass to visit his brother, say, at a certain street in Kelvinside, and on going there found that his brother was two or three streets distant, he would require an* pass. If he exceeds the limits of the pass, he would be fined 2 pounds or the alternative of a month's imprisonment. If a native is employed at a farm at, say, £1 per month, he is not allowed to take a job with another farmer, say at £3 per month, unless he gets the written consent of his present employer. In some states a married woman is not permitted to live with her husband unless she gets a pass from the Town Clerk, for which she must pay 1 shilling per month. Girls are not allowed to live with their parents unless they are working for Europeans and have secured a similar pass. Those girls employed by Europeans are paid from 8 to 12 shillings per month. In some districts the native women banded themselves together, and refused to (Continued on page 3.) CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1920 TH' RACE COMES ALONG NICELY STRI! What the New Crowds Object to. BOMB TROWN AT COLORED HOME Ernest Clark's Home at 4404 Grand Boulevard Bombed Monday Night The beautiful residence of Mr. Ernest Clark and his wife Mrs. Mary Byron Clark was bombed Monday night. The bomb did not do real substantial damage smashing a few windows and shaking up the sleeping inmates. This is the same house that was attacked during the riot by a gang of white ruffians. It is regretted that none of the bomb throwers tarried on the scene for they might have been captured by Mr. Clark. They hurried away as all cowards, in a high powered machine. Another Great Hotel Opens on South Side The Hotel Ponchartrain will throw open its doors at 4600 South State street on Jan. 12 and the people of the South Side view with pride another monumental race achievement. Mr. J. H. Longhorn, proprietor has spared no expense or managerial effort to satisfy the increasing demands of his people. With the benefit of long experience and genial personality Mr. Longhorn plans elaborately for the success of this institution. Every room will be gorgeously fitted with careful attention to creature comforts. The corridors will be covered with heavy Brussels carpet and portieres will drape every portal. Hot and cold water service with gas and electric fixtures and perfect bathroom facilities are an added attraction. The real feature will be the Cafe in Sinclair's Old Grill Room, where the delicacies of the season will be served by 10 polite waitresses. The kitchen is already open to inspection. Mr. Longhorn's motto is cleanliness, class and service. Fine linen and efficient dispensation will make the Cafe the show place of the Hotel. Mr. Longhorn will be supported by a coterie of friends and all members of the race in this his worthy effort to do business along modern methods. The voters of the Second Ward are rejoicing over the fact that Attorney Richard E. Westbrook, has entered the race for Alderman. Public opinion is turning in favor of his candidacy daily. The people say that there is no harmony where the masses are not taken under advisement. A few men cannot sign "harmony treaties" without the peoples' consent. Mr. Westbrook is a man of ability and courage. Being a true race man he will fight the peoples' battles in the City Council as well as on the outside. He does not know what it means to give up when his race is at stake. Legal knowledge is an essential for an Alderman's success and Mr. Westbrook has few equals as a lawyer. He will be an asset to the "City Fathers" because his election is sure. The time is ripe for any "New Crowd Negro" who is efficient to win and when the votes are counted on Primary Day this young man will be the victor with a large plurality. Newspaper Editor and Alderman Near Fist Fight Alderman Louis B. Anderson and J. Tipper, editor of the Chicago Enterprise came near mixing it, Wednesday evening over an argument about the picture play "Within Our Gates." Onlookers seeing the discussion was coming to a crisis interceded. It's hoss shoes, folks, dat rules de 100s' An' puts Jinx in de calaboose. Dat's why I say when Dobbin's gone Ah's ready, too, to journey on! Old Crowd Politicans Begin To Scratch Their Heads The new political organization known as the Independent Non-Partisan League has already started its great fight against the "moss-back compromising old crowd politicians." The organization met Sundey last and the membership was increased by 53 making a total of 302 paid up New Negroes. The organization plans a merger with three other intelligent groups that have caught courageous spirit and plan to rid the City of festering evils. The literature of the organization will be on hand next and the precinct captains with 35 voluntary ladies will begin a house to house campaign. The organization will hold its 1st Mass Meeting January 18 at which time an elaborate and constructive program will be rendered. Old Crowd Anxious. The Old Crowd held a caucus meeting a few days ago at which time it was proposed to block the New Leag was proposed to block the New League. The first method adopted was to prevent a suitable meeting place for the Mass gathering and the second method was to crush the Whip. Aiming to Silence the Whip. The politicians fearing the stinging lash of the Whip and the New Negro's Spotlight which it focuses, have decided to checkmate this paper which is the Official mouthpiece of the New Negro and the Independent Non-Partisan Political League Fight To A Finish. The organization declares that they will fight to the end and they will fight on with the hilt after the blade is broken. They feel that the race must be emancipated. race must be emancipated from crooked leadership and flagrant politics. Many members are working as "feelers" in the ward.

K. WILLIAMS Olivet Pastor to speak on C. C. C. of Race problem in the U. S. A. What promises to be one of the most interesting and beneficial meetings ever held in this section of the country is the one staged by all of teh white and colored churches of Evanston, Ill., Sunday Eve., Jan. 11. Rev. L. K. Williams, A. M. & D. D. has been unanimously chosen as the principle speaker of the evening. Large Crowds rfom Chicago. Dr. Williams has perhaps the largest following in Chicago. Hundreds of men and women who are interested in a solution of the race problem are expected to attend the Evanston convention. The subject of Dr. Williams discourse will be "The Cause, Condition and Cure of the Race problem in America". Those who expect to attend this lecture are requested to take early cars to Evanston. In view of the fact that all of the white and colored ministers of the City are going to bring their parishioners with them, standing room will be at a premium.

TWENTY-FIV IN CUB Clash Between The Police, Strikers and Havana, Jan. 10. — Twenty-five persons were wounded today in en- counters between the police, persons attending the funeral of a laborer killed in Sunday's demonstration against the high cost of living, and spectators gathered along the route of the funeral procession. Ten of the wounded are gravely injured. Seven persons, including two policemen, were wounded by pistol shots a quarter of a mile distant from the home of the laborer, as his coffin was being carried toward the cemetery on the shoulders of a group of brother workmen. After this outbreak there was no further disturbance until the body had been buried and the funeral party was returning homeward. As the mourners reached the center of the city, a fussilade of shots was exchanged with the police and about eighteen persons were injured. The police finally succeeded in reestablishing order. WE SCOOP THE REST IN WORLD EVENTS! PRICE FIVE CENTS RACE RS ASSAILS PLE WHO EM- LORED LABOR Vicious Blacks" The Hyde Park Journal is issued by the Grand Boulevard district of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association for the purpose of prohibiting the decent and respectable people of the race from moving into the district south of 39th street. The Chicago Real Estate Board extended felicitation to the Grand Boulevard branch of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association yesterday, when the associatian proclaimed that in 60 days it had forestalled colored occupancy of 57 houses south of 39th street. The board also urged that every rental agency solicit his clients to become members of this association. The associations are freely soliciting membership thru the columns of their publication. The Property Owners' bulletin goes on to say "Why should white people employ their enemies?" and further states "Let nobody for a moment think that these vicious blacks do not know what they are doing. They know full well, what they are doing is done purposely according to a fully arranged plan. Knowing the injury of his act and not caring as to the results he is inviting disaster to himself" such as the insidious propaganda from cover to cover in this Property Owners' Journal, published by one Chas. Fox, 4654 Grand Boulevard. In one article namely the "Covet Vendor" says "Mrs. Nora Forts, sold her home to niggers and when she went to collect she was thrown down a flight os stairs." She must have done something to warrant a call down if such was the case and if she was ordered out may be it was good ridance. WE SHOT BAN RIOTING and Sympathizers Follows Laborrer's Burial Reports as to the cause of the en-counters are conflicting. The police claim that efforts were made by the crowd to attack them, while the laborers assert that the police provoked them by indiscriminately wielding their clubs against inoffensive men and women spectators of the funeral. In prominent parts of the city tonight printed notices were posted calling for vengeance against the police. These were removed by the authorities. All was quiet tonight and the indications seemed to be that there would be no further trouble. It is estimated that several thousand laborers were in the funeral procession, while tens of thousands of persons lined the streets through which the cortege passed. The labor situation is at present very grave and a general strike is said to be impending. It is reported that President Menocal has prepared a decree calling for a suspension of guarantees the moment a strike is called. --- 2 THE CHICAGO WHIP The Centuary Whist Club held its annual "Holiday Party" New years night at the residents of Mrs. Theodore Jones, 4342 Forestville avenue.

The floor was filled with tables decorated in true holiday attire. Even now and anon, one could see a rare bottle sitting in the midst of the table with several devotees looking longing at its contents. Between two fires the longing to taste, and fear of loosing, knowing like the old year, real burbone gone forever. The evening was delightfully spent all the early being given over to cabaret artists. Mr. Emmet Scott and son and Mr. Norman McGee of Washington were the guests of honor.

Public the Best Mer- --- THE WORLD OF SPORTS Horse Racing in America had its Golden Days when Famous Men Added Luster to Turf Glory Belle Meade lay sleeping in the sun That golden autumn day. The live eaks wore their scarlet coats And breeches lichen gray. The beech had changed its green attire For dress of brown and gold, And blue-grass pastures far away In emerald billows rolled. It was one day after Luke Blackburn, the greatest son of Longfellow, had swept all before him at the old Cote Brilliante race course at St. Louis that Gen. W. G. Harding of Belle Meade said to me: "Young man, you must come and visit me at Belle Meade. You-all up here don't know how we all live down yondah. You-all don't understand how we-all can raise colts and fillies that can beat all yours without half tryin'. But you'll all understand if you'll just take a run down to our fahm.

"The latch string at Belle Meade always hangs low, sah. You will find the visit instructive, sah, as well as interesting. It will give you a peep into the mysteries of hoss racin'. "It will show you just what the thorboid industry is, sah, and prove to you that there is something about the race course a little above and beyond the gamblin' thing and certain evils that do much to drag it down and make it common and very ordinary, sah. "You Hardings and Grants did not agree in war time, sah. Certain members of our little family were opposed to Gen. Grant in the late unpleasantness, sah, and so was your humble servant, sah. But today on the race course I shook hands with Gen. Grant, and we are friends. "The race track is a great leveler, sah: It today brought the President of the United State face to face with one who was his bitter opponent in war times, sah. Members of our little family, sah, fought by side in the Mexican wah with Grant". All this was in 1877. Ten years later one day when the racing season was over, and needing a rest, I thought of Gen. Harding's old invitation and ran down to Belle Meade. A depot wagon met me at the train, a wagon drawn by a pair of blacks and a black man doing the driving. "Yes sah", the driver said, "de general says you must come right to de fahm and bring your baggage wid you. Yes, sah. "Great many big people comes to Belle Meade nowadays", added my driver, as if to give me to understand that I was not the only pebble on the beach. "Only last week President Cleveland and his lubly young wife sat right where you're sittin' now, sah. And when de visit was ober dey told me dey enjoyed it so much dey was comin' again. Wes, sah; dat's what dey said, sah". It would take a book to tell of my visit to Belle Meade and of all I saw there, and I have less than a column in which to spin the story. It would take a greater artist than me to paint a picture of Bramble, Enquirer, Luke Blackbrun, Great Tom, Iroquois and the other famous stallions than the property of Belle Meade. Even today their great-grandson and daughters are leading the way on many a race course. It was Iroquois, sent to England by the Lorillards in 1881, who, with Fred Archer up, won the English Derby, and now he was taking it easy at Belle Meade. In the great dining-room at Belle Meade we sat at breakfast that morning, the general at the head and his daughters at the food of the table. "You've come so far I am going to let you into a secret", the general said. "It may be of service to you some day. I have sold a half-interest in the produce of my thorbred farm to Richard Croker of New York. He is going into the racing business big and strong. He will be heard from some day—if not on the American race course, which appears to be falling into desrepute in this country, in England or somewhere else". Since Gen. Harding sat at Belle Meade that morning many things have happened. The general is sleeping now under the daisies, way down Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 7.—Arthur Stigall of Cumberland, Md., lightweight champion of the world, still holds the title after a bout with Barbershop Williams of Savannah, Ga., lightweight champion of the South, last week. He knocked Williams out in the early part of the fifth round, but it was seen from the beginning that Stigall had Williams clearly outclassed. Stigall announces that he could have knocked Williams out at any stage of the battle, but wanted the fight to go at least five of the boxers. Stigall is one of the cleverest boxers ever seen in a local ring. His footwork was of very high caliber, and he seemed to be able to hit equally hard with either hand. At the time Stigall delivered the knock-out blow, it is also alleged that he accidentally fouled Williams, but the referee gave the decision to Stigall. MAY CANCEL WILDE RING BOUT New Yorkers Lose Interest in Britisher Since Sharkey Shaded Him father Since Sharkey Shaded Him. New York, Jan. 7. The International Sporting Club of New York will be ready for occupancy late in May or early in June next year if present plans materialize, it was learned from an official of the organization. W. H. Gompert, the architect, has submitted papers which showed that he expected to have plans for the building completed by the end of January. Registrar of the progress of the government house of the new club the International Sporting club of officials will carry through their program for an extensive series of bout in February 22. The original plans has to have Jimmy Wilde, England's antamweight boxes appear in the principal bout. FREDDIE HILLS PUTS OUT JOHNNY TYNAN IN SIXTH PUEBLO, Colo., Jan. 6.—Freddie Hills of Fort Worth, Texas, knocked out Johnny Tynan of Philadelphia in the sixth round of a twelve-round bout here last night. Johnny Fiske of Rock Island knocked out "Yong" Sol of Pueblo in the last round of an eight-round bout. Johnny Rose of Davenport, Iowa, and Joe Black of Denver fought six rounds to a draw. INDIANAPOLIS GETS PIN TOURNEY INDIANAPOLIS GETS PIN TOURNEY Cincinnati, O., Jan. 7.—Indianapolis was selected as the 1920 tournament city at the annual meeting of the Central States Bowlers' Association today. The territory covered for the association was increased from 175 to 200-mile radius, which takes Toledo and Huntington, W. Va. Herman Mergard, sr., and Harry Cockery, both of Cincinnati, were elected president and secretary, respectively. in Tennessee, the fame and reputation of Belle Meade is sleeping with him. But that the partnership has been profitable and that Croker absorbed considerable turf knowledge thru his relationship to Gen. Harding was proved just twenty years after my visit to Belle Meade, when Mr. Croker created a sensation in the turf world by winning the English Derby with his good colt Orby, and with the American jockey, Johnny Beiff, in the saddle. But soon after that Gen. Harding and all the greatness of Belle Meade passed away, so that now his old and but partnership with Croker is no secret, and I think I am breaking no faith in making it public. But what I have written this story for more than anything else is to call attention to the sort of men who patronized the American race course in the olden, golden days. At that Cote Brilliante meeting in 1877 Gen. Grant, then President of the United States, sat in the judges' stand, acted as presiding judge and named the winners. Racing on the track before him were thorbored horses like Goodnight, Luke Blackburn, McWhirter and others owned by confederate generals like Jackson and Harding, who had fought against the Grant forces in the civil war, but who were now willing to take his best judgment on a horse race. Ten years later on my trip to Belle Meade two persons described by my driver as "President Cleveland and his lubly young wife" had been visitors at the great farm, and had patted the great thorobreds on the nose and caressed their silken coats. I wonder, indeed, if those great days on the American race course and American breeding farms will ever come again.

KERSEY, D. A. McGOWAN, WM. J. MORSELL, Props. How do boxers of class get their start? The world knows about such men as Dempsey, John L. Sullivan, Bat Nelson, Kid McCoy, Pal Moore, Benny Leonard and the rest of the gang, knows about their prominent battles. But it is seldom that the fans hear about the opening chapters of a scraper's life. Of course is it fairly well known that Jim Jeffries was a boiler-maker when he took up the game and that Jim Corbett was a bank clerk. The facts regarding Pal Moore, former rob, who gave Jimmy Wilde the two greatest battles of his career, just came into my possession. It seems that Pal was once an employee in the stockroom of a Memphis dry goods store. In those days a court reporter by name of Matt Allen, a bug on boxing, took a fancy to Pal, especially so when he discovered that Moore knew a little about scrapping in a minor way. Allen handled a mean pair of gloves himself, often boxing with such fellows as Mandot up in the Y. M. C. A. He started taking Pal Moore to the "Y" two or three times a week, and they spent hours in the gym practicing new blows and such like. Then Moore would go over to Billy Haack's Southern A. C. as he learned more of the game, and would take on anybody there, aitho he weighed only 105 pounds. Several of his earlier opponents were big colored chaps, and Pal was practically knocked cold time after time. Bruceee, the negro trainer, who is still at the Southern A. C., tells how Pal used to fight them all. Many of the stunts that Pal uses in the ring today, capers which amaze the fans and cause worry to opponents, were picked up by him boxing the colored boys down in Memphis. Several of those lads had unique blows and fancy steps, such as bouncing off the ropes, "throwing rocks", the airplane, and so forth. Moore gives credit to Broadway Jones, Pickhandle Shin, Six o'Clock, Kid Sweet, Egg Head Ratky and others for teaching him tricks which have later come in handy. "Six o'Clock" was a tall, slim colored boy who looked as if his feet pointed to 6 and his head to 12. "Throwing stones", as Moore calls it, is when he suddenly reaches one hand to the floor and comes up with a dazing wallop to the chin. The "airplane" is when he starts flapping his wings like a rooster. Both of these tricks are calculated to baffle an unsuspecting rival. Tom Biggar, Michigan boxing commissioner, was talking with a friend in the lobby of a Chicago hotel recently when Johnny Schiff, lightweight scraper, strolled up and joined the little party. Schiff is the lad who has boxed all over the world, staging several exhibitions in Spain with Jack Johnson. More recently he was a recruiting sergeant for a Canadian regiment in war times and then enlisted in the United States ambulance service, going to Italy, where he was decorated with the Italian war cross for bravery by the king himself. A bellhop called Biggar aside and Schiff continued talking with the stranger. The latter seemed to take a lot of interest in boxing and questioned Johnny closely. He had the impression, looking at Schiff, that the latter was a preliminary scrapper, for he said: "You boys in the preliminaries must have pretty hard work to earn $25 or $50, haven't you?" Schiff wanted nobody to think he was a prelim. chap. So he informed the stranger that he often got as high as $400 and $500, which rather amazed the listener. Biggar returned shortly and introduced Schiff to the man. It was no less a personage than Gov. Albert E. Sleeper of Michigan. When he caught the name Johnny came closer to needing smelling salts that he had for years in the roped arena. * * * Before the big July 4 battle at Toledo a large percentage of the fans—I would say more than half—hoped that Jack Dempsey would floor Jess Willard and win the title. Now, less than a year later, fully as many, it seems, are just as anxious to have Georges Carpentier wrest the championship from Dempsey. Coming down to brass tacks, it wouldn't hurt the game a bit for the Frenchman to capture the laurels.—For if there's anything that a sport lover likes it is a novelty in any sport, and it certainly would be a novelty for Carpentier to be world's heavyweight champion.

Courtesy, Fair Prices MOST ACTIVE BOXER OF ALL Engaged in Twenty-Five Bouts---Received an Average of $8,000 for Every Time He Entered Ring New York, Jan. 7.—Two hundred thousand dollars. It's a lot of money even in kopeks. With dollars as elusive as they are it is hard to conceive of a man catching that many in the course of twelve months, especially when the man wears boxing gloves. Yet that is the approximate amount that Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, raked in during 1919. Leonard was the most active of all the boxers, large or small, in this fertile land. He plied his trade with a diligence and vigor never before displayed by a champion in any class. He realized that the reign of a champion is not long at most, and that a title holder has to "get it while the getting is good." Averaged $8,000 for Each Bout. Leonard engaged in twenty-five bouts during the year, an average of a bout almost every two weeks. This is exclusive of the several benefit bouts he boxed. According to his manager, Billy Gibson, the total gate receipts for these bouts amounted to approximately $500,000. If Leonard drew down $200,000 as his share, then he averaged about 40 per cent of the gate receipts in each bout in which he took part. To attract a total of $500,000 the gate receipts for each bout averaged $20,000, and Leonard received an average of $8,000 for every time he entered the ring to do battle. In eight of Leonard's principal bouts the gates totaled $201,500, an average of $25,187.50 per bout. The remaining sixteen bouts drew $298,500, an average of $17,559. His eight biggest bouts, his opponents, where they were held and the gate receipts follow: $53,000—Willie Ritchie, Newark. $37,000—Patsy Cline, Philadelphia. $26,000—Johnny Dundee, Newark. $24,000—Soldier Bartfield, Jersey City. $20,000—Jimmy Duffy, Tulsa, Okla. $16,000—Soldier Bartfield, Newark. $12,000—Charles Metrie, Detroit. A. B. By "Full of Pep" ALD. ANDERSON WAS NOT READY Patrolman Sidney A. Williams, of the Cottage Grove Police Station, went to trial before the City Service Commission. Williams is charged with placing R. M. Pettus head of the Lion Tailoring Company, 2939 So. State street, under fake arrest. The arrest was made to aid two notorious crooks (William Holdman and Wm. Drice, alias Hoplong). Pettus charged that Holdman and Drice attempted a confidence game on him, and that they succeeded in picking his pocket of $40.00. Holdman and Drice are held to the grand jury under bond of $2.500 each. Patrolman Williams was to be tried before the Commission on December the 30th and all witnesses were present at the trial, Alderman Louis B. Anderson of the second ward appeared in behalf of Williams and succeeded in getting a continuance of the case, and for some unknown reason Alderman Anderson failed to appear at the second trial. Alderman Williams confessed before the Commission that Holdman and Drice were responsible for him placing Pettus under arrest. Williams also confessed that he left his post (35 and State) and went to 29th and State and placed Pettus under arrest on charges made by the two confidence men, but could not explain why he told Pettus that he had orders from the station to bring him in. Williams stated that as he had been in service only six months, that he was trying to make a reputation. It is believed that Patrolman Williams will have to face a jury trial. $9,500 - Mel Coogan, Jersey City. The bout between Benny Leonard and Willie Ritchie drew the second largest gate of the year. The world's heavyweight clash between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard at Toledo alone outdrew this clash between the one-time lightweight champion and the present incumbent. Newark was besieged by frenzied thousands of enthusiasts last April when Ritchie, who had previously outpointed Leonard in a four round bout on the coast climbed into the ring to do battle against the local favorite. The club was packed to capacity; the walls fairly bulged outward with the mass of humanity that jammed the building. In the streets thousands of disappointed fans attempted to carry the place by storm until the police reserves were called out and the crowd dispersed. Leonard won by a knockout.

If he isn't, he'd better be. For somewhere between here and Monte Carlo and still going strong is Edward ("Tiny") Canfield of this neck of woods. He "I busted Tia Juanna wide open this year, and I bet Hauser I do the same at Monte Carlo. Hauser bet me $1,000 I couldn't do it. I've just cabled him to come and watch me win. From what I've seen of European gamblers they're shorthorns. I'm going to introduce Alaska and California methods, by which I am confident Til clean up—and clean up big." Young Mr. Canfield may take Monte Carlo apart and find out what makes it go, but really, you know, he has quite a job on his hands. All the world has been on this job since 1856—and the casino company is still doing business at the same old stand. And he is mistaken if he thinks the Monte Carlo company is "shorthorn." Its capitalization is more than 30,000,000 francs and nobody knows the size of its "bank roll." The annual budget of the casino company is more than $5,000,000. Young Mr. Canfield should not bust the casino wide open. If he does he puts the whole principality of Monaco out of business. Nebraska Has Old Man to Rival Kentucky's Boast WESTVILLE, NEBR—Tom Morris is Westville's candidate for honor of being the oldest man in America. John Shell, the Kentucky mountaineer, is said to be 131. Well, Tom Morris, is only 125, but he is 125—no smokes his pipe about sixteen to eighten hours every day. Before the state went dry he took a drink of whiskey whenever he could get it and he complains bitterly that a thirst he spent more than a century in working up cannot be appeased. "Anything that a fellow's been doing for a hundred years or more becomes a habit," he says. He was born in Berrow, Montgomeryshire, North Wales. For a hundred years he has been a shoemaker. He mended shoes in Scotland in 1810, when he was sixteen years old. When he came to America in 1871 he brought his tools along with him. He had a shoeshop in Streator and Blackstone, Il., and in Harrison county, Mo., before coming to Nebraska, 33 years ago. More than half a century ago Morris picked up a boy in Scotland and took care of him. His name was Charles Mytton. Now Charles Mytton is taking care of the old man. Though Tom Morris has seen practically all the great inventions now in use developed and made practical, he has never learned to read.

TEXAS THIEF PUTS UP NOVEL DEFENSE Woman Alleges That She Stole Only When Hypnotized by Mate. Dallas, Tex.—Attorney for Mrs. Madeline Tether, pretty 22-year-old brunette, of this city, charged with stealing patent rights valued at more than $100,000, insist the woman is innocent of any crime because she acted under the hypnotic influence of her husband. In support of the claims made by her attorneys, Mrs. Tether was taken to the office of District Attorney William J. Pierson, where she was hypnotized and where she performed a number of seemingly impossible acts. Health physicians who witnessed the demonstrations jabbed her with needles and made other tests which proved her trance was not a fraud. It is the first time in the South that such a plea has been entered in any criminal case, and as a result attorneys and jurists are watching the outcome with interest. According to Nosh Roark, one of Mrs. Tether's attorneys, she was un- A Hypnotizing His Wife. der a hypnotic spell when she was married three years ago. At times after the marriage her husband would throw his wife into a trance and allow her to lie for days at a time while he was absent from home. He did not want her to speak to another man or have anything to do with neighbors or any one other than himself. It is alleged that Tether knew the place where the drawings desired were concealed and that, after hypnotizing his wife, he commanded her to go and get the drawings. She obeyed, but, it is alleged, only did as commanded and therefore cannot be punished for the crime. LURE OF THE CITY. Among the many things responsible for the unrest and disturbed condition of affairs in this country the life of the city, which has been effectively working upon the men of the emergency army and navy and their families, is responsible for a very considerable portion. The men who left the farms and rural sections for the war camps and later went to France or at least spent a year or two in the vicinity of some large city got a taste of city life and formed ideas about what was necessary and what desirable that could not be altogether forgotten when they went back home, says Florida Times-Union. Lots of the farm and country folks did not go back to the country, and the result is a scarcity of people on the farms and in the small towns, and an over-supply of people in the cities. War department records show that the majority of the men from the rural districts went home it is true, but a whole lot of them decided not to stay; and the cities have gained in numbers but not always in just the normal and reasonable increase that comes from the demand for various kinds of workers. It is likely that in the course of a year or two thousands who are now making a scanty living in the cities, contrasting the excitement of surroundings with much less comfort than they had enjoyed in the small towns or on the farms, will return to the life they left when the war called them into the service of their country. A Japanese province has placed a tax upon a great variety of articles called luxuries, among them being walking sticks, gold-rimmed eyeglasses and even the bridal couple's extra suitcase. The Japanese may have heard of America's tax on children's soda water and ice cream cones, and received inspiration therefrom, says Detroit Journal. At any rate, those of us who felt rather cockily that all the tax-levying geniuses of the world were concentrated in our country will have to admit that Japan has a few wizards of her own.

Events Incident to the Emancipation Proclamation History tells us that at Jamestown, Virginia, in the year 1619, a Dutch trading vessel landed a group of 20 Africans who were at once sold into slavery. Some writers have said that this was the beginning of the so-called race problem in the United States of America. They were then twenty in number but on January 1st, 1863, this twenty had increased to four millions. It is indeed, a most noteworthy fact of the history of social progress that it required two and one half centuries under the old slave system to produce four millions of people, while under the new slave system (and I say "new system", because we are still slaves, after a fashion) our increase has amounted to some eight millions in the short space of fifty years. One of the reasons for the remarkable success of the old slave system was the fact that the slave holder held absolute control over the Negro mind. Here was the psychology of slavery in America. The Negro was not taught, nor was he permitted to think. He was only made to feel the power of his master. He was made to feel that slavery was right and this feeling was so profound that it lingered with him even during the Civil war and for a long time thereafter. And, they say there are some of our people in this country to-day who are still living upon the same plantations in the Southland where they were born before the war. When England under George III. was pressing her iron heel hard upon the necks of the American Colonies in the eighteenth century, the Negro was told that if he would take up arms for American Independence they would give him his freedom. Some sixty thousand Negroes fought side by side with their masters. And the Negro race offered the first sacrifice of human life on Boston Common; and yet, when the war was over and the victory was won for America, he was returned to his chains. We next find him at New Orleans with Andrew Jackson in the war of 1812. He then proved his prowess as a fighter and wrote his record among the galaxy of stars that illuminate the military firmament of this country. We next find him with Grant in the Civil war, on the side of the Union fighting for his own freedom. And, you remember that up to this time the fortunes or war had been against the Union Armies, and Abraham Lincoln had offered to pay the South for her slaves and end the war. But, with the aid of the Negro the tide of battle began to turn and finally the Union armies swept on to victory and the shackles of slavery fell from the weary limbs of the Negro race. It has been declared by some that the Civil war was fought for the Emancipation of the Negro. Let us see if this is true. I shall now briefly review a few of the causes which precipitated the civil war. Prior to the civil war there was great sectional feeling. This feeling was the result of political and place the economic inequality of slave economic conditions. In the first labor in the South with the free labor of the North was a source of constant friction between the the two sections. Moreover, the slave (labor of the South produced all the cotton. This cotton was shipped to England for her factories where it was converted into clothing, shipped back to this country and placed in the market at a cheaper price than the merchants AT THE NE ERSAL P th Street RE YOU GET 16 BRAND TOMATOES DISTRIBUTORS, CHICAGO --- By JAMES G. COTTER. of this country could afford to compete with. The North manufactured the implements used by the South in production of cotton; so did England. The South wanted free trade with England, and the North wanted a protective tariff with which to offset the effect of English competition. The South wanted to have control of congress, and to that end attempted to extend slavery. The North also wanted control of congress and it knew that it would be to its interests to prevent the extension of slavery. The South had a strong political party and the North wanted one that could win the National elections. Finally the Republican party came into power and they selected Abraham Lincoln as their standard bearer and finally as the President of the United States. But the friction between the two sections became more acute as the days went by, and the Southern States began to secede from the Union. Finally they formed a confederacy and soon afterwards the civil war was on. It is thus understood that the question of Negro slavery was subordinate to the great political and economic issues of the day and the Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure. THE EVENTS OF RECONSTRUCTION But the slave had been freed, and the great question now was how shall he be protected in his freedom against his former master. The South was prostrate, but it was mad through and through. Grant was President. He was sincere in his desire and efforts to protect the new freed man, and he used the military forces of the National government in many States of the South for the protection of the Negro citizen. But the Republicans finally realized that it was losing political ground by reason of the president's policy of using the troops to protect Negroes and president Grant finally declined to use the troops in future troubles between the races and the Negroes were left to the tender mercies of his former master. And, when the great election contest between Hayes and Tilden came about, and the Republicans believed that the Democrats were in a position to put them completely out of business, a deal was made between the agents of Hays and Tilden by which the Republicans were to remain in control of the government and the South be allowed to control the Negro. (To be continued) AMERICANIZATION Americanism will be the big issue of the coming campaign, as it should be. Not a selfish, exclusive Americanism, but a broad sympathetic, human Americanism that comprehends the needs of the world and rises to the opportunity to extend a helping hand. But while this should be done on the one hand, our liberties and our independence should be maintained inviolate on the other hand. We can help the world better from a vantage point of independence and free from entangling alliances with other nations than in any other way. We do not want to adopt the British policy, or the French policy, or the Italian policy, or the Russian policy, or ally ourselves too closely with any of these nations. We have a great destiny before us that is pre-eminently and peculiarly our own, and separate and apart from the other great nations of the world. The business, social and political world no longer centers in Europe. Our own opportunity to set standards for the world and grasp leadership is at hand, but if we do so, it must be done from an independent vantage point, and not through any compro- THE NEW Y You SAL PRO street YOU GET 16 OUNC --- THE CHICAGO WHIP mising, logrolling, shilly-sally League of Nations, involving such surrenders of principle and decent moral rectitude as the Shantung steal. We are big enough to command the respect and leadership of the world, if we go about it rightly, and the right way is the American way. European ideals are not our ideals. We would be tied down in a League of Nations, especially the kind accepted by Mr. Wilson, which, in the nature of things, would be dominated and controlled by European ideals and policies. We could hardly be situated in a more enviable position concerning our relation to the rest of the world than we now are. Let us maintain this relation instead of surrendering our freedom and binding ourselves up in a league that will surely lose us much in our national life and handicap us in the pursuit of a broad, humanitarian, helpful policy toward the world, seeking to lift up where help is needed and spread justice, fair dealing and a spirit of benevolence throughout the universe. In the national election in 1920 the people or the United States must choose with discretion between nationalists and internationalists. Our future independence and our very existence may depend on the outcome. WHITE CHURCHES SUSPEND SERVICE TO HEAR L. K. WILLIAMS. Olivet Pastor to Speak on C. C. C. of Race Problems in the U. S. A. What promises to be one of the most interesting and beneficial meetings ever held in this section of the country is the one staged by all of the White and Colored Churches of Evanston, Ill., Sunday Evening, January 11. Rev. L. K. Williams, A. M. & D. D. pastor has been unanimously chosen as the principal speaker of the evening. Large Crowds from Chicago. Dr. Williams has perhaps the largest following crowd in Chicago. Hundreds of men and women who are interested in a solution of the Race problem are expected to attend the Evanston Convention. The subject of Dr. Williams' discourse will be "The Cause, Condition and Cure of the Race Problem in America." Those who expect to attend this lecture are requested to take early cars to Evanston. In view of the fact that all of the White and Colored Ministers of the city are going to bring their parishioners with them, standing room will be at a premium. MANY RACE CASUALTIES IN GEORGIA Milleedgeville, Ga., Jan. 20.—With eleven casualities among the colored race four dead and several not expected to live, the sheriff and the coroner have been very busy. Down in the Ivey station district three colored men were found frozen to death in a small gully this morning. Sheriff Terry of Baldwin, and the Sheriff of Wilkenson county while in pursuit of two colored men, said to be implicated in the shooting of Ivey Stanton, were fired on by one of them, the bullet came near hitting Sheriff Terry. Mr. Andrew Gorley, a young farmer of Meriweather, was supposed to have been held up by a colored man and shot with a 38 revolver, but it is authentically stated that the trouble started about a race woman named Lizzie Nucle. Gorley sat on his porch waiting for Tom Miner to pass his rival, Miner being late coming, Gorley went down the road apiece and hid in ambush for the arrival of Tom Miner, shooting Miner in the back after thinking his victim had fallen he came up and shot Miner in the back five times. The coroner's jury brought up a verdict of justifiable homeside which marked another judicial shame on the state of Georgia. Two colored men got into a dispute in east Baldwin resulting in the shooting up of the town. We have word by our staff correspondent saying that the colored people of Georgia are armed to the teeth and will stand for nothing less than the "rights of the whole man". SAY!

"Yes, Mr. Sun," called the Dawn fairies. "Are you thinking of getting up, sir?" "Yes," said Mr. Sun, "it is almost time for me to get up. You know I always get up at just the time I'm supposed to. I'm a regular old fellow that way. My time changes in the summer and in the winter and in the spring and the fall, but every day at the hour I'm supposed to get up I do. That is more than many folks can say." And Mr. Sun laughed a jolly, good old laugh. "You see, I called you, Dawn fairies, because I've gone into a new business. At least it isn't a new business, for I have been doing it for years and years, but I'm calling it new just to be up to date." "Whatever are you talking about?" asked the Dawn fairies. "Won't you tell us? We don't understand at all." Just then the Sun fairies came along. "Oh, the business is being talked of again, ha, ha," they laughed. "We're so puzzled," said the Dawn fairies. "Of course," said the Sun fairies, "for you weren't around the other afternoon." "No," said the Dawn fairies, "we weren't. We are never around in the afternoon." "Well," said the Sun fairies, "we heard a good deal of Mr. Sun's busi- "Stretched Himself." ness talk and we were there helping him for a good while, though we left the Twilight fairies to finish up the pictures." "Pictures?" said the Dawn fairies; "and business? Oh, we are so puzzled." "I will explain it all," said Mr. Sun. "for Ive a few minutes in which to stretch before it is time to get up." "You see I heard folks talking about moving pictures. There were funny ones and one that made them cry, and there were ones of travel; in fact, all sorts. "Now I don't like those moving picture places. They're dark and they won't ask Mr. Sun to come in. They have never once given me a pass or a box, or even asked me if I wanted to buy a ticket at the box office. It is true I wouldn't go in if they asked me. "I have really been quite hurt about not being asked, though, and then I thought I would go into the business myself. I have always given the earth people beautiful pictures as I have gotten up and gone to bed, and at many times. "My pictures have moved and changed, too, but I never had the modern name for them. Now I call my pictures 'Mr. Sun's Moving Pictures,' and I ask everyone to come without paying a cent of money to see them. "I give them out of doors where everything is clear and healthy and I give them all colored, too; ah, beautiful ones. The Cloud fairies are going to help me and so are the Sun fairies as they have before, and the Twilight fairies and so many of the others. "So I would like to have the Dawn fairies help me, too. We'll give the earth people a wonderful series of pictures of the sun getting up and of all the colors and fairies and pictures which move along with him. Will you all help?" "Yes," shouted the Dawn fairies. So Mr. Sun got up, peeked first above the trees, and all the fairies came along, too—they changed and they moved about and they danced, and the Sun fairies danced upon the snow, which they called the Sparkling Ball Room Picture. "It is being talked about—our picture," whispered Mr. Sun; "yes, they're admiring us. I do believe they will like Mr. Sun's moving pictures and that I will be a success in the business. There is nothing like keeping one's name up to date, nothing at all. And," said Mr. Sun, "when I want some music to play for the beautiful pictures I'll ask the trees to furnish it. They will, never fear." And Mr. Sun smiled broadly as he said his good-morning to the whole world, for his moving pictures were such a success, he knew! Lead Others Wisely.

JANUARY CLEARING SALE These Items on Sale Friday and Saturday, January 9th and 10th THE MAN NOT THE TOWN The idea that nearly all the "big" men come from the small towns has been industriously disseminated for many years, but a census of a representative group of 100 well-known men in the New York financial district, reported in the National Bank of Commerce monthly, does not bear it out. It was true that 60 per cent came from outside New York, but, taken by towns, it was found that just as many came from cities with a million or more population as came from towns with less than 5,000 people. Fifty-one came from towns under 100,000 population, another remarkable breaking even. If this analysis proves anything, it shows that the man has much more to do with "getting there" than the town he came from, which, of course, everyone who gave any thought to the matter expected, says Pittsburgh Dispatch. The "big men from the small town" was simply one of those superficial notions that get by because nobody stops to analyze them. It was flattering to the bulk of the population who live outside New York that the metropolis had no monopoly of opportunity. But who supposed it had? Imports of wool during the five-year prewar period, 1910-1914, averaged 207,583,742 pounds annually, or something less than half the present imports, according to the bureau of markets of the United States department of agriculture. As the population of the United States has been increasing so have the imports of wool. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, this country imported 379,129,334 pounds. During 1919, the total importation amounted to 424,414,644 pounds, or more than double the prewar average. From January to August, inclusive, of the last year (eight months) more wool was imported than during the prewar years mentioned, and if the present average monthly imports of 36,288,982 pounds is maintained throughout the remaining months of that year, the United States will import more than 430,000,000 pounds during the calendar year of 1919. If it were the thing for the prince to write books, the prince of Wales could contribute an "Impressions of America" series that would be well worth reading. READ THE WHIP HEALTH HINTS HEALTH HINTS Dr. H. A. Massey HEADACHES. Headaches (migraine) are diffuse pains in various parts of the head not confined to any area or any one nerve, but is generally attended with many symptoms. The term headache is the manifestation of an irratation of sensory nerve-fibres caused by derangement of pressure or tension, inflammation toxic or reflex disturbances. Headaches are organic or functional. The increasing frequency with which this common and intensely agonizing malady occurs is brought about by serious errors of health rules. It has been said, "What we rob nature of, we pay dear for". Being true it has been proven that in all forms of headaches are distressing because of the periodicity of its recurrence, inadequate elimination of an excrementitious substance, and that the predisposition to attacks, are due almost solely to an habitual incapacity to expell this substance. The capacity of those who are subject to sick headaches is so deficient that an accumulation of this substance, which is toxic becomes chronic in form as to the common ills and at regular intervals. The causes may be due to heredity which plays an important part in 90 per cent of all cases. Women being most affected. Organic cerebral diseases, congestions, anemia of the brain, functional nervous disorders, toxic conditions, derangement of the stomach and liver, reflexes causes as eye-strains, nasal diseases, bad ventilation, anaemia, tumors, ear diseases, gastritis, constipation and high blood pressure. Organic headaches are commonly persistent, varying from time to time in intensity. It interferes with sleep aggravated by mental and physical efforts, excitement, alcohol and anything that tends to increase congestion. Functional headaches are those due to other causes. Distribution of headaches, the pains are usually bilateral, maybe front, back, side, temporal, vertical or diffuse, but most commonly is the frontal than the diffused, the often shift from one part of the head to mother and not always confined to regions limited by anatomical boundaries. THE CHICAGO WHIP WAITED TEN YEARS IN VAIN San Francisco Woman Kept Lamp in Window to Reclaim Wandering Husband. San Francisco—Each night for ten long years a light glowed in the window of Mrs. Adeline Fields' home in this city, to guide the footsteps of her wandering husband, William F. Fields. But Fields never returned. Then, one morning, Mrs. Fields blew out the light and went downtown to the office of a lawyer, where she applied for a divorce. "I married William Fields in September, 1900," she told the lawyer, "and he left soon afterward. For ten years I have been waiting for him to return and have written numberless letters. Each night during those ten years I have kept a light burning in the front window for him. But I have decided at last that I have been deserted and I want a divorce." Judge Graham granted her a divorce. Gypsy Girl, 14 Years Old, Has Been Wed 12 Times Although only fourteen years old, Rosa Marks, kypsy, has been married 12 times, she told the police at Omaha, Neb. Each time her father collected "compensation" and then secured her release through the courts because of her tender years. JAILS HER SOLDIER HUSBAND Wife Gave One of Her Toes to Mate. Then Had Him Ar- rested. Tacoma, Wash.—After giving one of her toes and a piece of her jaw bona to her husband Mrs. Gertie Graham of Tacoma swore out a warrant for his arrest, charging nonsupport. The husband served overseas and was vounded. His wife furnished the missing members in order to assist his surgical reconstruction. Brorsen's comet, not due until 1922, has wandered back into mortal ken three years ahead of its schedule. If the heavenly bodies have caught the fever of trying for new records, there's no telling where we're going to land. Five German officers accused of looting in France and Belgium during the German occupation have been arrested to be held for trial. At last, retribution is beginning for the criminals of the war. French scientists have organized an international institute of metaphysics in an effort to solve the mystery of death.

EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CHICAGO WHIP WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. RED PROPAGANDA It is deplorable and regrettable to witness the discordant and malignant influences and forces at work in America. It is said that the future of National Unity is intimidated and that immediate extinction of all insidious growths is imperative. The "great offenders" have been styled "Reds." They have been sized by State and Government authorities and pitched behind iron bars on charges of Conspiracy to overthrow the Government and for violation of the State espionage Laws. We do not feel that it is our task to assail the merit of the Conspiracy charge, neither to question the Constitutionality of the "espionage Laws," which limits the Constitutional guarantee of free speech. We are loath to leave these issues but more imminent questions compel our attention. Every institution that does not exist according to the principles defined and incorporated in the Spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States is un-American. Every organization be it temporal or secular that utterly disregards the Letter and Spirit of this Government is opposed to it. Every organization that seeks to crush the principles and immunities of American Citizens also seeks to overthrow the Government and remember that up to Americanism will be the big issue that is itself. Without citizens there would be no government. When citizens are crushed, the ideals of the government are crushed. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE HAVE NOT YET RAIDED THE KENWOOD AND HYDE PARK PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION. THEY OPENLY AVOW THAT THE NEGRO'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS MUST BE KEPT IN SILENCE WHEN THEY CONFLICT WITH THE DESIRES OF THE WHITE MAN, WHICH THEY CALL "MORAL RIGHTS." THEY STATE IN THEIR "DIRTY YELLOW JOURNAL" THAT "THERE STILL REMAINS A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF COUNTRY WHERE THE NEGRO IS WISELY SILENT CONCERNING CERTAIN OF HIS RIGHTS." THIS STATEMENT IS AN INDIRECT VINDICATION OF MOB LAW AND LYNCHING, WHICH IS AIMED AT CITIZENS AND IS THEREFORE AIMED AT THE GOVERNMENT. (IT IS RED PROPAGANDA, SLIMY, OOZY RED.) The Kenwood and Hyde Park property owners Gang claim they are committed to a policy of law of order. Does the circulation of this propaganda breed Law and order? The Property Owner's Journal seems to be an Organ aimed at Militant Methods. They are seeking to crush out the democracy that remains in the callous heart of Caucasian. "BRING ON YOUR TORTURE." USE YOUR INSIDIOUS METHODS. HURL YOUR INVECTIVES AND AGAIN LET PANDEMONIUM RUN RAMPANT IN CHICAGO. THEN PROBABLY YOU WILL BE DEEMED "RED" AND MANY OF YOUR MEMBERS WITH TONGUE TWISTING NAMES WILL ALSO SAIL IN THE SOVIET ARK. WE PAY OUR TAXES, WE FIGHT FOR THIS GOVERNMENT AND UNDER THE GLORIOUS MANDATES OF THIS GOVERNMENT WE HAVE DONE OUR BIT." WE WANT PEACE, WE ALSO WANT LIBERTY AND JUSTICE. WHEN THE LEPER SIGN OF INFERIORITY IS PLACED ON OUR BACKS, WE TOO SNATCH IT OFF AND SHOW THE GLARING TEETH OF THE PRIMEVAL MAN. WE APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WE APPEAL TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE STATE OF LOVEJOY AND LINCOLN, TO CRUSH OUT THIS ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO DRAW US INTO A NET OF "SEGREGATION BY AGREEMENT." Segregation failed in the South. Segregation will widen the racial breach and sharpen the sword of Hate. Segregation by indirect methods violates the Spirit of our laws and we shall be loyal to our laws and uphold them. Under the Article styled Cavet Vendor, the Property Owner's Journal styles us "Niggers." They didn't style us that when they put up their stores and places of business among our people. They waxed fat off our ignorance and now wish to relegate us to a position that reflects both on the oppressor and the oppressed. The Journal (Hyde Park) states that "to damage a man's property and destroy its value is to rob him. The person who THE TASK OF THE NEW NEGRO The world is always in need of improvement; doubtless it will always be. It is inconceivable to the most optimistic that mankind as a whole will reach that state of perfection toward which a small group has striven. Like a mighty glacier the advancement of the social order is slow. Now and then the wheels of progress spin much faster than their accustomed speed. In the social order there is no such thing as a standstill. We're either going forward or retrograding. The world must progress. Therefore ALL men, institutions, ideals and dogmas that have outlived their usefullness must be relegated to the rear. In every country, every age and every clime, this main task has been allotted to the young. The success of the young Turk movement. The astonishing achievement of the new Japan, the triumphant success of the allied armies. The successful experiment of the Bolsheviki in Russia. All point to the profundity of this theory. In America, the mogrel of the world's great nations there has sprung up over night a new type of citizen. He is the offspring of the slave. He is different in thought and actions to his ancestors. He is strong in intellect. He is determined in will. His sudden and spectacular appearance causes much comment. That the dust of tradition is shaken from the garments no one will deny. Without going into the causation He diagones that he belongs to a race rich in mental potentialities, sturdy in physic, unlimited in endurance. He finds no outlet for these latent qualities. He also reaches the conclusion from diligent research and careful analysis that the causes are numerous. He finds that if permanent advancement is to be made, he must begin the Herculean task. He must weigh but not be unwilling to pay the cost. It is the task of the New Negro to turn the spotlight of truth on the cowardly conservative compromisers of his own race. To teach self-reliance. To teach that politics is not a lottery but a medium for the expression of the best in them. To teach that morality is not a vaporing ideal but the cornerstone of race achievement. To teach a greater racial consciousness to combat the hoodlums of other groups who make unearned profits out of their labor and bonfires out of their flesh. To teach the fallacy of the doctrine of 'Peace at any price.' To teach advantages of worshiping principles and measures instead of men. To teach that pleasures is a poor objective for an individual or a race. That freedom, liberty and justice is not the property of any one race or class but of those who are willing to fight for it. RADICALS AND RAIDS The raids upon the so-called Reds last week did not meet with the approbation of the general public. It is not so clear to many how every economic organization that is evolving along new sciences can be accused of plotting to overthrow the government by violence. There are some anarchists and loyal citizens here. Many loyal citizens are radicals, many radicals are reds, all reds are radicals but all radicals are not reds. The New Negro does not wish to overthrow the government by violence or force neither does he belong to any anarchistic order. The New Negro does wish the government to overthrow all agencies and forces that are depriving him of full American citizenship. We are dissatisfied with the treatment we are receiving. We want the existing order of social economic and political affairs changed. The Negro wants to be treated as a man and consideration on the basis of merit and citizenship. The New Negro is disgusted with lynching and mob violence. He believes in defending his life and his home and all other sacred institutins. For this reason he is radical because the old regime is satisfied with "Uncle Tom" and Aunt Liza" position. We do not approve of direct action and sabotage. We do advocate intelligent collective bargaining and race solidarity. Let the anarchists be raided. Let public opinion be changed by constructive methods. Let not the institution of free speech and press be abrogated as long as this country aspires toward a true democracy. Let the Negro have a man's chance. Let radicalism arouse his slumbering soul. Let ignorance and political crookedness be raided. Let intelligence and hope maintain. commits that act is a robber. Every owner has the right to defend his property to the utmost of his ability with every means at his disposal." We agree. What is property? Real estate is real property. Personal property chattels personal, incorporeal hereditaments "choses in action," contract rights and right emanating from citizenship, the right to vote, to live where you please etc. These all are property rights. Therefore our property. "To damage a man's property is to rob him. The person who commits that act is a robber. EVERY OWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS PROPERTY TO THE UTMOST OF HIS ABILITY WITH EVERY MEANS AT HIS DISPOSAL." The Journal (Hyde Park) states that the Negroes' harping on Constitutional issues know as much about the Constitution as they do about the "4th Dimension." For the benefit of the Property Owner's Gang, allow us to state, that we thoroughly understand the legal technical loophole that they bask and revel in and that the knowledge of the Constitution within the brains of the Colored readers of their journal is limited to the teachings of Harvard, Yale and Columbia Law Schools. We are perfectly willing and eager to debate any Constitutional issue that we are accused of not understanding. Thank you. LEGAL COLUMN By J. D. Bibb What redress legally have we against the Kenwood and Hyde Park Association? The 14th Amendment within its purview states that no state shall pass any law abridging the rights of Citizens. In the Maryland Segregation Case, the Supreme Court decided that the Maryland Segregation Laws were unconstitutional in the light of the 14th Amendment. In that case Maryland had passed a law segregating colored people. In the Hyde Park case no law has been passed by the State of Illinois and the 14th Amendment does not reach individual offenders. The organization does not offend the letter of the Law but it does offend the spirit. No redress is there possible. The elements of conspiracy to create segregation are present, but L STA OF Unde LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO Under State Government Supervision --- 3105 So.

SENATE TO HEAR ABOUT LYNCHING IN THE UNITED STATES The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today announced that preparations were being made for a Congressional hearing which it is expected will be held in January on the resolutions for federal investigation of lynching and mob violence in the
