Information to this effect had been sent to the association by Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas.

Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; James Weldon Johnson, field secretary; Archibald H. Grimke, winner of the Spingarn medal in 1919; and James A.

BIG MASS MEETING AT 31st STREET AND Constitutional Convention Club Call Tuesday night, Jan. 18th at Olivet Bar Church, which is the most active and potent organization of its kind in the city sent notices to its various members to be present on the above mentioned date. Factor for Civic Betterment. A reporter interviewed Dr. Branham, the Char. of the Club, and also Pastor of Olivet Church, as to the purpose of the meeting. No definite answer was given, but from the tenor of the remarks by him it is safe to believe that thorough diagnosis of the political and economic affairs of this district will be made and practicable remedies offered. --- The CHICAGO WHIP THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY A PAPER WITH A POLICY NEW YORKERS' VIEWS ON OUSTING OF SOCIALISTS Action of Colored Assemblymen Causes Much Speculation as to Its Fffect in Harlem (Special to the Whip.) New York, City, Jan. 15. — The only Colored assemblyman in the New York assembly, John Clifford Hawkins, was one of the assemblymen to vote in favor of the expulsion of the five Socialist assemblymen at the recent opening session of the legislature. Mr. Hawkins is a Republican and voted with the party members. Miss Grace Campbell, Colored, the Socialist candidate that opposed Mr. Hawkins at the last election, polled over 800 votes in the 21st A. D, hence there is quite a heavy Colored Socialist vote among the Colored people of Mr. Hawkins district. Much protest has been raised against this action of the Republicans and in Mr. Hawkins' and the other Colored districts there is quite a bit of speculation. It is felt that if the Socialists could be debarred because they advocated changes in the customs and institutions of the community, that the same could be done to Colored representatives who in advocating the abolition of Jim Crow cars and legislation in the south would necessarily have to plead guilty to the same indictment. Jim-Crowism i san old and deep-rooted institution in the south and to advocate its abolition is certainly from the southern viewpoint just as revolutionary as the doctrines of the Socialists, if not more so. In voting to bar men even temporarily who are duly elected representatives of a perhaps unpopular minority it is feared that Mr. Hawkins may have accepted a precedent that may be used to the detriment of his own people in the future. ING AT OLIVET AND SOUTH PARK club Calls Members to Colors Helps Dennison. During the recent Campaign for delegates to the National Convention through the efforts of this club. Col. Dennison made creditable showing against his wealthy opponent. Brannan Great Organizer Dr. Branham does not believe that the church should only be interested in the Spiritual side of man's life, but he thinks that it should take a more active part in the Civic and Economic and Industrial affairs. He is a wonderful speaker and a good organizer and is interested in the Common people. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1920 WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST TO OR HELP FUL YOUR RACE?

Governor Pardons Colored Life Timer Jackson, Miss., Jan. 16 — Gov. Bilbo has granted a meritorious discharge to Frank Bonner, a Colored convict from Lefore county, who was serving a life term for murder. The discharge was recommended by the officials of he penitentiary chiefly on the ground that Bonner located and actually recaptured Henry Cotton, an escaped convict. Bonner had been on the roster since 1915, and had a creditable record, according to field men who had charge of him. Cook County Bar Association Elects Officers The Cook County Bar Association after a pleasan and profitable meeting on Friday evening aJn. 9th elected the following officers for the ensuing year. James A. Terry, Pres. James G. Cotter, 1st Vice-Pres. N. G. Barclay, 2nd Vice-Pres. A. B. Baker, 3rd Vice-Pres. W. L. Offord, Sec. O. A. Clark, Treas. Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 8, 1920.—The Emancipation Celebration Association of Pittsburgh was organized at a mass meeting of Negroes in Memorial Hall. Rev. Dr. E. J. Carter who presided, was elected president; Attorney P. J. Clyde Randall, Rev. T. Taylor, Rev. Dr. C. H. Trusty, Rev. Dr. Dudley G. Kiney and Mrs. Helen Adams Moore, vice presidents; Alderman Robert H. Logan, recording secretary; A. S. Billinger, corresponding secretary; Attorney W. H. Stevenson, treasurer; Rev. J. W.

Turner, Mrs. Daisy Lampkin and Dr. Carter. City Colored Haven Racial Book Says Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 9, 1920.—Short biographical sketches and liberal illustrations make the recently issued volume of the National Cyclopedia of the Colored Race one of the most complete books of its kind. Not only are leading colored persons thru the country represented within its covers but the leaders of the past are also included. Considerable space is devoted to John T. Gibson, a Philadelphia theatrical manager. The volume says, Philadelphia and Boston have been two of the principal cities to afford the Negro a refuge and to foster his welfare. It asserts that Philadelphia has proved a happier home for the Negroes than Boston. "There they have a wider range of intellectual and social freedom," it asserts. "A great many remained there and established themselves as leading citizens, notwithstanding the fact that they were persons of color. Coming thus to the front they put up stores, established business and took an active part in the government, built handsome churches, hospitals, schools, with the result the Negroes of the Quaker City usually get a representative not only in the city but also in the state government. Here in Philadelphia he stands upon his merit alone." RICHARD WEST-BROOK'S ATT'Y Endorsed by Independent Political League for Alderman Atty. Westbrook, eminent attorney, widely known as an uncompromising fighter for race interests, and better known in the legal field as a brilliant barrister, has won the endorsement of the Independent Political League, in his candidacy for Alderman. Atty. Westbrook stands out as a "race man" and New Negro. He announces that he will fight unceasingly in the "council of the city fathers" for the Negro's proper and just share and is frankly opposed to all "machine-made" 'politics and "me-to-boss" direction and action. His fighting spirit and legal ability, combined with his youth and seasoned experience make him eminently fitted to serve race interests and not party politics and word bosses. He has received many encouraging indications of strong support from those who think and are tired of "hand-picked" leadership and City Hall domination. New Magazine for Colored Makes Initial Appearance Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 9, 1920.—The Competitor, a national magazine published in Pittsburgh in the interest of the Negro, made its initial appearance yesterday. Edited, financed and managed by Pittsburgh Negroes and with contributors from all parts of the country, the magazine, printed in attractive form, is a purely Pittsburgh product. Its articles include practically every topic of interest to the Negro. Reconstruction, agriculture, immigration, labor, health, athletics and others are subjects dwelt upon. The contributors include educators, agriculturists, welfare workers, diplomatists, lawyers, surgeons, ministers, journalists, soldiers, actors and others. Published by the Continental Publishing Company, Inc., its editor is Robert L. Vann, assisted by Emmett J. Scott, Eugene K. Jones, Walter S. Buchanan and Alice Dunbar-Nelson. EVANSTON WHITES CROWD CHURCH TO HEAR RACE MAN L. K. Williams Denounces Segregation Evanston, Ill., Jan. 11.—Hundreds of the best citizens of the middle West convened at the First Presbyterian Church (white) to hear Rev. L. K. Williams digs the condition, cause and cure of race problem in the United States. That their eyes were opened to the wrongs perpetrated against the race, and the cure and prevention of same, was evidenced by the enthusiastic applause, even though the speaker accused them at times of being moral cowards when it comes to standing like men for a square deal for the Negroes. Text of speech, after thanking citizens for manifesting interest in trying to bring about a better feeling between the races, and for his personal selection as a medium, was in part as follows: The condition is a serious one and has been growing for years. Suspition, doubt and fear lurks in the heart of both races. The minority group is like all forces in nature trying to adjust themselves to surrounding conditions. So acute is the feeling, that the least provocation will incite riot and passers by, without knowing either facts or causes line up according to their race. The causes are that every place in this country there exists unjust, undemocratic and unchristian social industrial economic inequalities. According to weighty opinions, our Public School System is a promoter of race hatred and division. It has made a distinct impact upon the body politics. MURDER VERDICT RETURNED WITHIN TEN MINUTES New York, January 15.—One of the swiftest murder trials in New York state sent late today, when a jury in Brooklyn, after 10 minutes deliberation, found Frank J. Kelly, colored, guilty of murder in the first degree for slaying Catherine Dunn, a maid in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Sperry Clark on December 13 last. Next Friday he will be sentenced to die in the electric chain at Sing Sing prison. The prisoner showed no emotion when the verdict was announced. He smiled when he heard his fate and his features still bore a grin as he was led from the courtroom to jail. Joseph Dunn, 18-year-old brother of the murdered woman, has asked District Attorney Lewis to permit him to witness the execution. Editor Wm. C. Linton on the Sick List Editor Linton, the popular and energetic Editor of the Whip is confined to his bed with the influenza. It is hoped that the Editor will have speedy recovery in order that he may renew his great fight against the old crowd. Editor Linton is missed by his many friends and every body hopes to see the Trojan back in harness. WE SCOOP THE REST IN WORLD EVENTS! PRICE FIVE CENTS NDAY WHITES CHURCH TO RACE MAN Denounces Segregation Our social fabric is entirely wrong. Men in this country will not turn their hand to any cause unless an effective appeal is made to self interest and agrandizement. The lack of moral courage is put into opperation, remidies already known, is every place visible. The condition that has brought the acute situation, that now exists, to the attention of every thinking person, i the sudden appearance of the New Negro, who is the direct creation of post-war circumstances, and the universal cry for delayed emancipation. The rapid emigration of colored people from the South and the biased white press that thrives from capitalizing prejudice. To effect a cure, get rid of all men in public offices who try to perpetuate themselves by appealing to prejudices and emotionalism. White Ministers should reach a more vigorous gospel against the rule of might. White people must learn that they are dealing with a new crowd. That the economic interests as well as the moral of both races are common. Try all men according to law, instead of color or class. White presses should refrain from editorizing against Negroes, in news articles. A more honest and intelligent leadership among both races. More schools and better schools, better houses, more houses, better chances and equal credit to colored men in business. RESIDENTS PROTEST COLORED FOR NEIGHBOR Wilmington, Del., January 9, 1920. — Citizens residing on Tatnall street between Twelfth and Thirteenth, held another indignation meeting to protest against the Negro, Tsbury Sterling, residing at 1216 Tatnall, into which house he had moved last Saturday. As one of the results of the meeting, a committee headed by O. W. Merrick and composed of Jeremiah O'Sullivan, John Denver, Mrs. F. F. Reynolds and Mrs. J. A. Donohoe, will wait on the City Council at its next meeting, and ask that body to use its power, good offices or influence to maintain the neighborhood for white residents. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. F. F. Reynolds, 1220 Tatnall street. The Council evidently has no legal power to interfere in the matter, but those present at the meeting were hopeful that something could be done to induce the Negro family to move to some other place and avoid any unpleasantness that might result from their insistence on living there. Sterling is a letter carrier, and has been on the force for 29 years. He says he will remain in the house until he gets ready to go, but whether that means he would listen to some proposition that would include a residence in some other section, is not known.

ABOLITION OF JIM-CROW CARS Secretary Trotter told how the National Equal Rights League began the recent effort to have interstate Jim-Crow cars abolished by an amend. ment to the Railroad Bill on Nov 11th, 1919, when the League peti tioned every Northern member of House of Representatives, the branch ¢s, petitioning Congressmen of their respective states. When the House defetated the Madden Amendment, the Lengue urged the entire race to bombard the Senators to introduce and pass the same amendment to the Senate Railroad Bill and to demand a hearing from the Interstate Com- merce Committee, Sen. Cummins, Chairman. The League petitioned every Northern Senator, sent its Ist vice-president, its secretary and its national organizer to Washington, instigated the sending of a committee hard. 7 The League's Executive Secretar got resolutions petitioning Senator Passed at mass meetings in Maryland Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan an Indiana.

C.—Immediately following the declaration of war in 1917, the Faculty of Howard Univers ity School of Medicine tendered its services to the Surgeon General of the U. S. Army to be used in what- ever capacity that would best serve the government. Four members of the faculty were on draft boards. Four were contract surgeons, Nine members enlisted so that their medical knowledge might be used in the service of the govern- ment and over one hundred fifty of the alumni were either enlisted serv- ice men or officers in the army. One of these officers was awarded the dis- tinguished service medal; another was recommended for the Croix de Guerre; one made the supreme sac- rifice and several were severely in. jured. A former student also was awarded the Croix de Guerre, A member of the faculty discovered a reliable gas detector which was used by the armies of the Allies, Aside from this record about one hundred fifty students enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps. ‘The charts, models, specimens, and skeletons of the School of Medicine were loaned and used for the instruc: tion of Red Cross units. Emanuel Svedenberg, a Swedish veientist and philosopher, born in Stockholm in 1688, was a nobleman of great prominence. During the period of his activity in scientific fields, he was considered one of the ublest men of the times and ‘Thomas Carlyle called him “one of the loft est minds of the realm of mind; one of the spiritual suns that will shine on as the years co on". Swedenberg discovered and recompiled the story f the ancient religion of the dark races and brought back to the world the science of correspondences, ex plaining the “word” or bible, giving the rise and fall of the Dark Ages, tracing the rise and fall of the eiviliza tion of the Darker races during the period some 15 to 20 thousand years before the beginning of the Anglo. Saxon period of world domination The revelations of this wonderful scientist are taught every Sunday by the Rev, A. Simons at, Odd Fellows Hall, 3337 State Street at 11:30.

State Street, Chicago THE WORLD OF SPORTS By "Full of Pep" The New York Legislature, ousting Socialist members and quarreling with the Constitution, seems to have its Americanism addled. You can't prove by a "wet" that hope springeth eternal in the human breast. Not now. Once upon a time 6-cent sugar caused a hullabaloo in this country, do you mind? A beer dividend! How will the recipients figure it in the income tax returns? Prohibition emptied the prisons just in time to accommodate the "reds." That new comet in the Milky Way makes opportunity for another prophet. If we can't get more gas let's refer the weather to Paris for revision. A fat chance the public would have under the Plumb plan. One more week to constitutional prohibition. Even though a new baby is red-headed, hare-liped, and cross-eyed, the proud mother is sure to discover that the baby is the living image of his father. The world is a big place when you are trying to attract attention to yourself. But it is a small place when you are trying to hide yourself. Every old-fashioned housekeeper has an idea that a restaurant kite must be an awfully dull place And what has become of the o. f. man who used to go out between the acts to see a friend. At that, we have more use for the man who carries a hammer than we have for the man who carries a mouthful of soft soap. Until they wake up in the hospital some men can't understand that you can't drive a machine 40 miles an hour and first with every woman who passes by. A lot of wives get so sick of seeing their husbands around the house all night every night that they are ready to cuss prohibition. When they are first married he has a dresser drawer all to himself in which to keep his stuff. But a year later he has to pull out a corset, two underskirts, a couple of combinations, four pairs of stockings, three waists, a corset cover, a baby-ribboned night-gown and a half pound of store hair before he can get at one of his clean handkerchiefs. A stiff punch will change the shape of a man's nose. And a number of them will change the color of his nose. A girl can go out in a snowstorm wearing dancing pumps, cobweb stockings and an invisible gown and she never catches cold because she is so warm hearted. OFFER $100 IN PRIZES TO COL- ORED STUDENTS.

Hampton Defeats Carlisle 27 to 19 Hampton Defeats Carlisle 27 to 19 By Charles H. Williams. Hampton, Va., Jan. 16. — The basketball lovers of the Lower Peninsula of Virginia witnessed one of the fastest games ever staged in the Hampton Institute gymnasium on Saturday, January 10th, when the Institute team defeated the Carlisle team of Washington by a score of 27 to 19. Although during the first half, Hampton did not score a basket, the fast passing and shooting from difficult angles gave the visitors a lead of 12 to 4 when the time-keepers whistle ended the half. Beginning the second half, the Hampton team electrified the enthusiastic fans when she "came back" with passing, shooting and guarding that dzaed the opponents. The score was tied in the first three minutes. Yet he visions fought every minute to keep from losing what seemed a victory. In the closing moments the condition of the Hampton men told when they took the lead and held it. The game was one filled with all the joysm and sorrows known to basketball. There was brilliant teamwork, difficult shooting, and spectacular guarding that held the spectators spellbound. Clean playing and good sportmanship characterized the game. The line-up follows: **Hampton** **Carlisle** Phillips (Capt.) L. F.... Robinson McLaren ..... R. F. Taylor,(Cpt.) Bradby ..... C.... Turner Freeman ..... L. G.... Gilmore Wright ..... R. G....

The senae Judiciary sub-committee investigating race riots urged the federal legislation as preventive for lynching and race riots. Senator Curtis, Republican from Kansas, presentd evidence showing propaganda had been spread to arouse unrest. A white attorney from Arkansas, U. S. Braton, has forceably expressed himself as being in favor of such a law since such steps seem necessary to give a certain class of citizens their guaranteed rights under the laws of the U. S. The sounding of such a note as the above from the sleeping indolent South Land gives signs of awakening that are gladly received. The apathy of the South is similar o that of a sleeping child on the edge of a volcano, that is awakened before it falls over. A Federal Law with red blooded MEN to execute it is the only prevention that we could recommend to cool the smoldering flames that have been kindled.

Consequently, the election contest was declared off, Hayes, the Republican was declared president, and the liberties of the Negro people were thus exchanged and bartered away for a mess of pottage. The White South had won her most precious concession, the control of the Negro and the right to deal with him as she may see fit. If the Negro had enjoyed the fruits of freedom for a brief spell, by the new deal his power was reduced to a nongentity, and upon his neck there has ever rested the iron heel of oppression, segregation, disfranchisement and racial proscription the like of which has never before been seen in the history of the civilized world. He has been deprived of his constitutional right to vote in the face of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution which permits him the right. But, his vote is being counted in the election of Southern congressmen as if cast, and for fifty years he has been robbed of the ballot and the South has been in control of the nation ever since the famous, or rather infamous, Hayes-Tilden compromise of the Seventies. The White South has maintained its color line for the exclusive benefit of the white men of the South and white supremacy. The white men down there reserve the right to maintain this color line by day and forget about it at night. I do not need to tell you that as a result of this the complexion of my race is not unlike that of Joseph's coat—a race of many colors. But, if the Negro man undertakes to exercise his personal right to associate and intermarry with white women of the South the newspapers next morning would contain glowing accounts of a lynching of a Negro who attempted social equality. We have therefore, in this country today two forms of social servitude, namely, that of the Negro man and that of the white woman. And, to add insult to injury, the Southern States prevent the intermarriage of the races by thus leaving the Negro woman with no legal redress in a case where her body has been defiled, her life ruined and her child bastardized. In no other civilized country in the world does such a system of repression and social degradation prevail amoung civilized men. But, the South supposed that no race could survive such treatment and make progress in the struggle upward. It was believed that under these various forms of oppression the Negro would travel the route of the American Indian; but, when it was realized tha in spite of his ahdhi ATTENTION!

But, the more education he acquire, the more wealth he obtains, the more he attempts to advance upwards, the more he is oppressed, segregated, lynched, disfranchised and burned at the stake; and now, his feet bleeding against the flinty rocks in the pathway of his progress, he is standing with his back to the wall and crying out in the language of the soldier of the cross, "Where do we go from here?" Justinian, the great Roman lawgiver has laid down the fundamental principle, "That whenever a government demands allegiance to its flag it should give protection under its flag". Let us turn on the searchlight of truth! What are the facts? Eighty five per cent of the white masses of this country belong to the working class. Ninety five per cent of the Negro masses belong to the same class. Some day these classes will get together and business will begin to pick up. The industrial classes produce the wealth of the nation; and a few men, less than one half of one per cent control all the power and wealth of the nation. They also control the possession and distribution of commodities and the prices of the same. It has been said upon good authority that the prices you and I now pay for the necessities of life have been fixed many months in advance. Somehow, this crowd knows ahead of time about how much of certain articles will be upon the market at a given time. For example, it is said that the sugar trust now has in its possession or under its control some three million tons of sugar, some of which is in Cuba, and none of which is in the market. This creates a scarcity of the article and a consequent increase in the price to the consumer. The coal operators, they say, control an unlimited supply of coal; but they are keeping it in the ground—the miners who dig this coal are allowed to work only 200 days during the year, and the present high prices of coal are maintained. In the recent strike of the coal miners, the government stepped in and ordered the striking miners back to work and the people to use less coal. Inconsistencies in the Exercise of Power.

And, yet the State Legislatures keep Jim Crow laws upon the statute books of the South and the nation winks at it. The 18th amendment to the Constitution prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in any State or Territory in the United States. It provides punishment for its violation. The government has the right under this amendment to punish offenders without regard to the local laws of the State within which the offence was committed, and many persons are punished day by day.

Is a property right of higher consequence than a human right? Is prohibition of more importance to the people of this country than the protection of human life and the preservation of human liberty? If congress can prohibit the sales of liquor on a rail road train in the State of Mississippi and punish the offender, why may it not also prohibit the Jim Crowism of Negro men and women upon this same rail road train in the State of Mississippi? If it has taken control of the rail roads and has passed laws which protect the property and morals of citizens in interstate commerce, why has it not passed Legislation for the protection of privileges and immunities of American citizens of the black race traveling as passengers in interstate commerce? "O consistency thou art a jewel!" But on some occasions and in some cases Congress finds that it has the power to protect human life against Mob-violence. For example, when the Mayor of Omaha was almost killed by a mob of whites they sent troops to Omaha under command of General Leonard A. Wood, our next president, with orders to put down mob violence and restore order; and within a short time after these troops had arrived in Omaha those cowards had begun to realize that General Wood meant business they scattered to the four winds of the earth and order was at once restored. On the other hand just a few weeks before that when the newspapers of a certain city in Mississippi published an open invitation to all the whites of Mississippi to be present on the occasion of the lynching of a Negro, it is said that the whole town turned out, schools dismissed, children were given a holliday, places of business were closed up and they all turned out to witness the ruthless killing of a Negro who had never had a chance for his life or an opportunity to be tried by the courts. They dug a hole in the ground and buried their victim up to his neck. A large cage was then placed over his head and a vicious bull-dog was turned loose in the cage—the most brutal exhibition of beastial savagery since the days of Nero. When the department of justice was called upon to take action in the matter of punishing those guilty of this crime it was explained that in cases of that kind the government had no jurisdiction. There may be those who maintain that the Omaha case is dissimilar to the Mississippi case. But I say that if the government possesses the power to deal with mob-violence in the State of Nebraska where the violence was directed against a white man it has the same power and the jurisdiction to put down mob-violence and disorder in the State of Mississippi when the victim of the violence is a Negro. But, some day when the "New Emancipation" has become an established fact, whenever and wherever the forces of color prejudice attempt to crucify justice upon the bloody cross of mob violence, the people affected by these outrages will take a stand upon the new Hindenburg Line and every man of them will take a solemn oath under God Almighty and shout, "It Shall Not Be".

Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 15.—Mose Campbell, colored, won for himself the appellation of "Slippery Mose," but he failed to make good Sunday night when Police Officer Mora found him. He was taken to the jail. But how he won the nickname for himself is the interesting story. About two weeks ago he was arrested as "dangerous and suspicious." As the officers were taking him to the Black Maria, which had been called for him, Mose slipped from their grasp. A well directed shot brought hiw down. He was wounded in the leg. He was locken in the automobile patrol wagon. When at the jail and the door was unlocked there was no Mose inside. It was the most puzzling case on record. Mose explained it last night. As he was en route the jail he raised a plank from the bottom of the car and slipped through, but pulled down the plank carefully before de dropped to the ground.

BURTON LABOR AGENCY --- SCOUTS EMBODY BEST IDEALS "During my four years in Germany," says James W. Gerard, former American ambassador, "I saw much of the child life of that country. The children were paraded through the streets singing their songs of hate. In the schools they were taught a deliberate perversion of history. For instance: The Fatherland did not wish to injure the Belgians, but the wicked Belgians promised to allow our troops to pass through their country and then attacked them." How different are the methods that are used to bring out the best in the childhood of this, our own country! While the Germans had organizations which were intended to develop hatred and like passions in the hearts of the young, we have the Bo. Scouts of America. This splendid organization well illustrates the difference in ideals between the two countries. In the Boy Scouts the boy subscribes to an oath to be true to himself and his country and to keep himself morally and physically fit at all times. He also pledges himself to "do a good turn only." The boy is taught woodcraft and many other useful things. He participates in big public functions and civic ceremonials. From the very first he is led into the higher citizenship. PRISONERS AID SCOUT PLAN. Through the gray of the granite walls that shut away the inmates of the Minnesota state prison from the rest of the world came this little story which shows that "stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage." In the office of George D. Pratt, treasurer of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America. New York, a letter arrived from Stillwater—a letter containing $28.50, "in payment of the following applications for associate membership in the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America." Daniel Blue, Frank Meyers, Joseph Kelly, Charles Kramer, J. W. Schwartz, George Olson, Jacob Red Bird, N. A. Burke, August Ruther—all prisoners. Far removed from the blue skies and running streams and long, winding roads that perhaps they themselves had trod in their boyhood, they looked back through the years, at the what-might-have-been, at the different lives they might have led had they been shown differently, and "cume across" that other boys might have a fighting chance. SCOUTS URGE AMERICANIZATION The executive board of the Boy Scouts of America has decided to strengthen its program for citizenship training in order that even a greater emphasis than before would be placed upon developing patriotism and Americanism. It was also agreed that all fort would be made to develop a program for older boys, affording them an opportunity to "learn by doing," in preparing for citizenship responsibilities. The executive board meeting was attended by Messrs. Walter W. Head, of Omaha; John M. Phillips, of Pittsburgh; George D. Porter, of Philadelphia; Alfred W. Dater, of Stanford; Hon. James J. Storrow, of Boston; Charles P. Neill and Colin H. Livingstone, of Washington, D. C.; Mr. Daniel Carter Beard, of Flushing; John Sherman Hoyt, George D. Pratt, Lleut, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jeremiah W. Jenks and James E. West of New York City. Mortimer L. Schiff was selected as the representative of the Boy Scouts of America on the International Scout committee.

Colored Ex-Soldiers Lynched in 1919. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published a statement showing that 9 colored ex-soldiers had been lynched in the United State during 1919. Of the nine, two were burned to death, two were hanged, four were shot and one was beaten. One of the colored soldiers was shot to death because he did not turn out of the road soon enough for passing white men. The list follows: Colorad Soldiers Lynched during 1919 Colorado Soldiers Lynched during 1919 March 14—Castlebury Fla., BUD JOHNSON; burned to death. Said to have confessed attack on white April 9—Pickens, Miss. _____ Admitted he had hired a woman to write an insulting note to a white woman.

The council of the Boy Scouts of America in Westchester county, New York, is making extensive plans for the development of an efficient county boy scouts motor corps. Applications are being received at county headquarters from older boy scouts who have autos which can be of service for emergency calls. As soon as the corps is efficiently organized, its services will be at the disposal of all legitimate organizations and other good causes. Relished Spice of Danger. A youth was being scored by father for his flighty notions, but it of shirking and general unreliability. "Hard work never killed a body," the old man added. "That's just the trouble, didn't turn the youngster. 'I want to gage in something that has a sign of danger in it.'" SCOUT'S DAILY GOOD TURNS. The boy scouts in Troop No. 21. of New Haven, Conn., cleaned the church: took up the carpet and carried out the accumulation of ashes in the cellar. In Paducah, Ky., there are six large monuments. Boy scouts, noting that they looked rather crusty, took it upon themselves to clean and polish these and keep them clean in the future. Special troops have been assigned to each monument. One troop is responsible for painting the city flagpole and keeping it shining. Casulty Insurance Company Begins Operation. After meeting the financial and legal requirements of the Illinois State Insurance Department, THE PYRAMID MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY is now chartered to write insurance. The Company's weekly department began operation on the 8th inst., and issued over 300 policies by Saturday the 10th. The most of this business was secured with little effort, as the Company's Agency force has spent most of its time making plans for a 1920 Campaign in the state. In the weekly department the Company is writing policies that have features which give better protection to policy holders during sickness or accident, than any other company writing a similar line of Insurance. Plans are being laid for the opening of a Life, Fire, and other Casualty Departments. Also there will be an Agents Training School for the benefit of the Company's field representatives. The Company is "An Institution of Endurance". Its financial strength is unquestionable; being indorsed by the Insurance Department. The Director's and Advisory Board of the Company are successful business men in different localities. E. H. Newsome, President of the Company, is pleased to have received many letters and personal congratulatory comments from all parts of the country for his untiring efforts to make the institution a success and a credit to the financial advancement of the race.

THEATRICALS THE CHICAGO WHIP Man Who Struck Mason Sentenced Man Who Struck Mason Sentenced Found Guilty of Second Degree Man slaughter; Fined $500 and Sentenced. Montgomery, Ala.—Julius Caffey colored, who drove the automobile which ran over and killed T. H. Mabson several days ago, was Wednesday fined $500 and sentenced to 12 months at hard labor by Police Judge William R. Brassell, when he was found guilty of manslaughter in the second degree. Under law, Judge Brassell declared he had final jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases, but acted in behalf of the county. The fine if paid will go to the county, and the one year sentence will be served at the county jail. Caffey employed no lawyer to defend him. He pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charge. In rendering a verdict against Caffey, Judge Brassell charged the colored with criminal neglect in the manner in which he drove the car which killed Mr. Mabson. In his own defense, Caffey declared he was busy examining the foot petals in the bottom of the car, and did not look up until the machine struck Mr. Mabson. He said he did not see the man, but felt the force of the collision. Witnesses for the city who saw the accident before and shortly after it happened were Dr. J. N. Baker, J. A. Thorn, W. B. Davis, W. H. Bill, Clarence Shores, Richard Jordan, Nathaniel Robinson, W. H. Priester, Mrs. Alice P. Hill and C. W. Parker. Parker is said to have owned the car driven by Cassey. SAY!

Washington, D. C.—The "Societe Française" of Howard University gave a "Soirée de Gala" Friday evening, December 19, in honor of His Excellency M. L'Ambassadeur Jusserand. The reception was held in Carnegie Library on the University campus. The occasion was one of particular moment. Almost at the last moment, however, the Ambassador himself found it impossible to attend on account of diplomatic duties, but M. Henri was present to represent His Excellency and the French Embassy. The reception was honored by the presence of M. Menravia, Minister from Haiti; the Minister from Uruguay, and a representative of the Ecuador Legation. In the absence of the president of the University, Ex-Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, president of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, addressed words of welcome to the gentlemen from foreign countries, emphasizing the fact that the doors of Howard University are open to students of color from any country. M. Henri in greeting the society expressed the great gratitude of France for the part that the American Negro played in the World War. He stated that Ambassador Jusserand personally observed American Negro soldiers in actual combat in the St. Miel sector, and that he had indicated unfeigned admiration and commendation for the splendid fighting qualities of these men. In a brief speech in the French tongue, the Minister of Uruguay lauded the work which the University is doing, and expressed high hopes for its pros- Do You Eat STANDARD LUNCH ROOM State Street for your money.

For a cake out of the ordinary, try one made from the following recipe: Lightning Cake.— Cream a half cupful of shortening, gradually, with half a cupful of sugar, four heaten egg yolks, three tablespoonfuls of milk and one cupful of sifted flour, with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Spread the mixture in a shallow pan and over it spread the Lightning Cake.—Cream a half cupful of shortening, gradually, with half a cupful of sugar, four beaten egg yolks, three tablespoonfuls of milk and one cupful of sifted flour, with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Spread the mixture in a shallow pan and over it spread the frosting whose recipe is given below; dredge with sugar and cinnamon, and bake thirty minutes. For serving, cut in strips about two inches long and one inch wide. Frosting for Lightning Cake.—Beat four egg whites very light, gradually add three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and a half cupful of blanched and shredded almonds. Spread on the uncooked cake dough and sprinkle with one tablespoonful of sugar mixed with half a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Rhubarb and Raisin Jelly.—Cook three dozen large, choice raisins in boiling water to cover, until tender. Add more water if needed. Cook until tender two cupfuls of rhubarb cut in small bits, with one cupful of sugar; shake the pan to keep the pieces unbroken. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatine in half a cupful of cold water, then add the raisins and hot liquid to dissolve the gelatine; add rhubarb and turn into a mold. When cold and firm, serve unmolded with whipped cream. There should be a scant quart of material, counting the water in which the gelatine was softened. Baked Ham.—Take a slice of ham two inches thick, parboll in water to nearly cover. Remove the ham to a baking pan, spread with brown sugar and mustard, using a teaspoonful of mustard to two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Add the water from the pan, and baste occasionally. Bake until well browned. Neville Maxwell When there is a coal strike, wood strikes a responsive cord. The world is composed of profiteers and those who wish they were.

A machine to register the laying of eggs is still a long way from the real necessity—a machine to lay 'em. Poland gets Galicia for 25 years, at the end of which period it should be pretty solid with the Galicians.

That California woman who offered $1 for a husband may have had in mind some specimens she had seen.

Slavery taught its victim criminal cunning and uncanny shrewdness. A slave could tell by his master's inadvertent action what he was thinking of and what he desired. The slave would snoop around and do those things in order that he would gain personal favor. Unquestionably and undeniably the hand of time has left its mark on the immediate descendant of the fettered. Therefore we have with us today the "Near Slave" and the "modern Uncle Tom." We have him in the political organizations dictating the political status of his peers. We have him in the commercial world waxing leech fat off of the blood of his brothers. We have him snooping around with false faces crying: I am for the people and for the right; when he is for money and other collateral benefits. He has allowe his "slavish" instincts to sap the vitality of intelligent organization. Where co-operation and combinations are created we find him with leering lips and shifty eyes planning how to get the whip hand and favor in his monetary master's sight. In Chicago it has been brought to our attention that this disintegrating evil, this horrid legacy from slavery is at work. In our business world we hear that the slave marks have caused irreconcilable splits and has dulled the edge of enterprise. We know that we need great institutions, mammoth institutions, progressive institutions to build up the race fragment and to wave back the torn lineage of black folk. We need men, who are free from slavish chicanery, absolved from criminal cunning and divorced from sneaky methods. We need pure clean men to take up the burdens; we need men capable of constructive analysis of fact, and abl to sacrifice for the benefit of the group. When clean cut men are placed in business leadership the Race will advance many parasangs toward the goal of full citizenship and many of the marks of slavery will be swept into oblivion. HEALTH HINTS United States are not free. Few cases have been reported from one-third of the United States. HEALTH HINTS As to the cause of Leprosy we are confronted again with filth, unsanitary surroundings as redisposing causes. The exciting cause, as has been stated, is the Bacillus Leprae—a very deadly factorium of germ. The germ is thought to be conveyed by the mosquito—culex persans—the bedbugs and rats as inmates of the home. Leprosy is another one of the old classic infectius diseases, it is also thought to be contagious. It has played its part in the World's history, has been a menace to the health of the old world while hardly effecting the new world in this the 20th century. This is another illustration of how fast the medical science has developed and how successful scientists have been incombatting certain infections. WORLD DEMOCRACY AT HOME FOR 1920. Slogan for the New Year suggested at Emancipation Day Celebration: Yonkers, N. Y., Jan. 18, 1920.—"World Democracy at Home" was offered as the slogan of the New Year 1920 for all Colored peoples, especially those of the U. S. A. by the National Equal Rights League through its National Executive Secretary, Wm. M. Trotter, who was the Emancipation Day orator at the celebration in the Messiah Baptist Church Rev. S. W. Smith, pastor. Leprosy is a disease caused by the Bacillus Leprae and attacks various tissues and organs of the body, producing structural changes in the skins, mucous, membranes, nerves, muscles, bones and other tissues and organs, causing more or less alteration and destruction of the areas involved at times producing mutilation and deformity and ending often, in insanity and death. Leprosy is as old as history itself. Origin is referred to the banks of the Nile by various Leprologers. All countries have felt the lash of its terror. It was introduced into Europe in the 8th and 12th centuries by the crusades. A fair opportunity to earn a living and a full and equal opportunity to enjoy the use of every place of accommodation, of service, of education, of recreation and amusement for the public without restriction, for race was declared to be the determined and legitimate aim of Colored Americans. This was in accord with the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburgh address, the federal constitution and President Wilson's world war aim declarations. Traces of Ostracism (isolation) of Lepers are still extant in the ancient churches and Cathedrals, where occasionally is found a truncated vestibule opening into the chancel but separated from the body of the church, through these corridors the Lepers could see and hear religious services without being seen. For the 3rd generation since emancipation the race has been performing the duties of citizenship declared the speaker, and when citizens are required to perform all the duties of citizenship without exceptions for race, then they are entitled to enjoy all the rights of citizenship without distinction or differentiation because of race. In China there are over 1,000,000 cases of Leprosy, in Japan, a decade ago there were 20,000. In India there are more than 200,000 Lepers while in South America there are less than 30,000 and very few in North America, Canada, however and the THE CHICAGO WHIP THE CAUSE OF THE NEW NEGRO. From various sources come the inquiries, "Who is the New Negro, what does he represent and wherefore?" The groups styling themselves as the New Negroes are those who have conceived of a new line of thought, a new method of approach, and a new ultimatum. The new line of thought is that the intrinsic standard of Beauty and aesthetics does not rest in the white race. That historical grandeur does not correctly represent the past achievements of th darker groups; that racial lineage and legacies reflect credit to the Negro; that the darker races are equal to the white socially, mentally and physically; that the public opinion is wrong concerning Black People and the stigmas placed upon them are unwarranted; that inate capacity for social, economic and political development is clearly defined in the oppressed groups; that ignorance and cowardice is a bane and a bar to advancement; that racial solidity can not be accomplished by flinching a varicious compromises. That the recalcitrant individuals that hold dogmas and platitudes must be either converted or forced into insignificance. THE NEW METHOD OF APPROACH IS A MILITANT CAMPAIGN AGAINST THOSE WHO HAVE CORRUPTED PUBLIC OPINIONS AND PLACED FALSE VALUES ON THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP, AND HAVE CONTENTED THEMSELVES "WITH A BACK SEAT AND HALF A LOAF." A Militant Campaign on ignorance, superstition, lethargy and apathy bringing facts up for consideration and not sentiment. A scientific scheme for organization along business and economic lines. Total elimination of sporadic avaricious and questionable organizations. A careful regard for those in existence with the hope of correcting their maladjustment. A MAN'S STAND ON ALL ISSUES INVOLVING LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY. A constant and concerted attack on lynching and mob violence and discrimination. A General pooling of race finance in order that collective bargaining may be intelligently manipulated. A strenuous campaign for sacrificial support of all worthy Race business. is exp. work. caused se. instigment y, ab-meth- and grounded in interests of the groups and not of the individuals. A broadening of religious influence into the every day problems of life. A strenuous campaign for representation in the government of this country. A determined resolve to place men in the high places that will not stoop to injure the under man. A general racial awakening along moral lines, a general awakening in health protection and care of the children, a general awakening from the dream of the "half man." The ultimatum of this new thought and method is that a new racial love, respect, and consciousness may be created. The question might be anticipated that if we stand for mythical and Utopian ideals and Americanization, why do we wish to awake a racial consciousness instead of National One? THE NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS IS ALREADY AWAKENED. THE NEGRO HAS PROVEN HIS WILLINGNESS TO BE A TOTAL AMERICAN. HE HAS BEEN REFUSED THAT MUCH COVETED HONOR BY SINISTER, SOUTHERN, IGNORANT, PREJUDICED INFLUENCES. The status of the Jew, Irish, German, etc., in America is determined by their economic and political strength. These groups have demanded their recognition because of heir solidarity and unity. When the Negro can be strong enough economically, politically and numerically to demand these recognitions, he will be considered 100 per cent American. The New Negro blazes the path, fires the brain, points you to higher endeavor and great achievements. He alone comes out of the tangled fabric of race disappointment and cries out and demands a man's chance. Iam, I am, I am, your Champion—he cries. "Let those think now who never thought before, and those who always thought think the more." The time is here. If the Negro does not awake before before reconstruction again equalizes the great disorder in the world the great tsak will fall on the shoulders of the third and fourth generations.

SAFETY DEPOSIT VAULTS---BOXES $3.00 PER YEAR AND UPWARDS Safety Vault Space to Owners of Liberty Bonds---FREE EDITORS MAIL Editor:— I should like space in your valuable paper to expose what I consider one of the most inhuman, and autocratic pieces of "Kaiserism", ever perpetrated upon a law abiding citizen. Thursday eve. (New Years Day), about six o'clock I was summoned to the door of my house by three men, whom I later found to be policemen. I was informed that I was wanted and a warrant had ben issued for my arrest. After having them read the same to me, they began to search my house, taking such literature as they pleased. I was then taken to the station at Forty-eight, and Wabash ave. and soon after conducted to states att'y. Hoyne's office, where I was subjected the most flagrant indignities, and inhuman treatment. I was threatened, and mistreated. The assistants of the state's att'y. office frequently referring to me as a "damn nigger" and "nigger bolshevik"; one of them tried to spit in my face. I was brow-beaten in an effort to make me confess to being a bomb maker, and to other charges just as imbecilic. The Free Thought Educational Soc., to which I belong, and am deeply and intensely interested in, they claimed was a clearing house for the I. W. W.'s and the reds; that are planning to overthrow the government, the allegations and charges, of which they had not one scintilla of evidence as being a fact. The stools of the states att'y office are well known to our society, but, as our society has nothing of an esoteric nature, we have oenly welcomed them, as all our meetings are public, and for the benefit of the public. Our discussions as well as our platform has always been open to the public, or o anyone hat has an intellectual message to give us. We have had some of he most influential, and prominent intellectuals of this and other cities to address our audiences. We are willing to hear any one's side of any question, and judge its merits. We stand unequivocally by our de- given cord in it is to recive hold p incline square few a came many a come were of the vestigium July 1 fact. a strete explain Mecca author history cago. was r ooted clarification of principles, which stands at the head of this letter. I was much amused at Mr. Hoyne's clever, and astute (?) detectives that could find with such ease, a "Phantom" wonderfully equipped laboratory—that does not exist—where Negroe's are making bombs, yet he is not able to find the NEFARIOUS whites that are making real bombs, and are publicly, and promiscuously throwing them at the homes of Negroes. If Mr. Hoyne thinks he can intimidate the only body of Negroes that are doing something other than drawing up resolutions, he is sadly mistaken. Let him go after the ones that are making the trouble. We refuse to be intimidated, and welcome with pleasure any impartial investigation he may wish to make of our society, or the character of its members. As far as being a radical, I plead guilty to that charge, as it was in the radicals that I found such sterling qualities as Lincoln, Lovejoy, Wendell Phillips, John Brown, and in fact everyone that has done one constructive thing for Humanity; besides when anyone attacks the prevailing customs of any time, regardless of how unjust they were, they have always been branded with the caption of "RED" and "RADICAL". I am there is little wonder why there are so many REDS, as the treatment one receives there certainly contributes to, and is highly conducive to making criminals and reds of the most virulent type. quite sure that when Jesus Christ was preaching his doctrines, The Jerusalem Herald-Examiner, head-lined him as a sheeny Bolshevik, and the Bethlehem Tribune, heralded him as a RED, and the power-drunken scribes did all they could to psychologize the only too gullible and ignorant public.

The future articles appearing in this column will deal with the many individuals of the race who have been identified with the early life of Chicago, both in its industries and politics. Article One By Lieut. Jay Hawk. Chicago has for many years been known among colored people of the United States as the "Mecca" of the race and at the present writing thousands of negros in the Southland are making preparation to come North to join relatives who have taken advantage of the shortage of labor brought about during the great world's war, and who have made their homes in this great Metropolitan City located at the foot of the Inland Seas. There has been from time immemorial a tradition characteristic of Chicago that all men regardless of race, creed, or color be given a fair deal, and there is no record in the history of this City where it is shown that negros have failed to receive it. It is true that there have been many individuals who held places of power who were not inclined to treat us along fair and square lines, these individuals were few and far between and when it came to meeting out of justice the many good men of Chicago have come to the rescue and seen that we were given a square deal—the action of the August grand Jury which investigated the deplorable race riots of July 1919, are best evidence of this fact. "To know the ingredients of a stream it becomes necessary to trace to its source," and in order to explain why Chicago has become the Mecca of the Colored American the author will attempt to give a brief history of the colored man, and Chicago. The first settler of Chicago was not a white man but a West The following articles will deal with the individuals of the race who have contributed to the success of Chicago, and achieved high places in the business and professional history of the City, many of the descendants of these characters are still living and to them it will be a pleasant reminiscence, and to those who have arrived during the past ten years it will serve as an inspiration and spur them on to speedier success. Of the many pioneer Chicagoans that the author will write about are the Jones's, Isabel's, Lee's, Maxwell's Bank's, Blakemoor's, Good's, Smith's and others too numerous to mention. It is the intention of the author to give nothing but real facts and the statements made in regards to the achievements of the individuals can be substantiated by documentary evidence, for instance: Do you know who was the first colored man to own property in Chicago? Do you know who was the first colored man to own that one of the largest Steel works in the country had a colored superintendent of the pattern department? have been elected to State, County, and City offices, when the population was less than 10,000, and our vote about 1,500? Do you know that one of the largest Transfer and Teaming Co's., was owned and operated by a colored man employing colored men, and that he was the first to operate automobile trucks in connection with his business? Do you know that one of the largest fee's ever paid to a lawyer in the City of Chicago, was paid to a colored man? Do you know that the largest publishing House in the country West of Philadelphia, was owned and controlled by a colored man? Do you know the largest and most exclusive Catering establishment West of New York City, was owned and operated by a colored man until his death in 1910? Do you know that many of the greatest and most useful inventions of the past 50 years are the results of the brain and effort of colored men? If not read the future articles appearing in this column and I will tell you about the Hancock's, the Smiley's, and Eckton, and Price, and Roberts and Hubbard's and Washington's, and French, Winslows.

Du Sable, was a trapper and trader held in high esteem by the Indians who looked upon him as one of their own. Jean Du Sable, left the vicinity of what is now known as Chicago, about the year 1794 and settled on the Illinois river at a point near Peoria, Ill. After D'Sable left what is now known as Chicago, a Frenchman by the name of LeMai settled on the North bank of the Chicago river and traded with the Indians for a number of years, or until the Spring 1804, when John McKinzie, wife and infant son arrived from Quebec, Canada, and settled in the house of Le Mai. McKinzie, was well liked by the Indians and his family was one of the very few who escaped the great massacre. The Indians effected a treaty of peace with the whites about 1816, and after this date the settlement began to thrive, but it was not until 1837 that Chicago was incorporated as a City.
