RIOT CLAIMS TO BE PAID BY CITY A MILLION LASHES FROM "THE WHIP" RIOT JUDGE DAVID OVERULES CIT ATTORNEYS WESTBROOK TERRY, COTTER AND OT TRIUMPH FOR DEFENS VICTIMS JUDGE DAVID OVERULES CITY'S DEMURRER. ATTORNEYS WESTBROOK, A. L. WILLIAMS, TERRY, COTTER AND OTHERS WIN BIG TRIUMPH FOR DEFENSELESS RIOT In an extended and brilliant opinion rendered Saturday January 31, 1920, in the case of Renfro vs. The City of Chicago, filed in the Superior Court by the Plaintiff for injuries received at the hands of a mob, a Demurrer to the declaration was filed by the City of Chicago to said Declaration. The case was heard on said Demurrer. First Assistant, Mr. Righeimer after much dilly dalyling tried to Judge Jos. E. David, who rendered the opinion making the city responsible for the conduct of its Hoodlum elements. implore the Court to give further time for the Argument on the Demurrer, but the Court said in substance: "I cannot see anything for you to look up or get prepared in, as this case is perfectly plain to me, and the statute is also plain, so much so that I cannot see why the City is asking for time." He quoted the statute on that question and said that it was absolutely sound doctrine and that he could not see why the City would continue one minute that it was not liable unless it is for the purpose of delay, and the Court read Section 4 of the Statute, of the "Act to Suppress Mob Violence." In its opinion, the Supreme Court upheld the Act and said it was good law and sustained this law. The Court further said: "I have very little patience for your contention that the statute would make it possible for a recovery where damages were done to personal property by a mob and at the same time, refuse to protect human life and property." The so called race riots in Chicago was the greatest disgrace to any State, and the intent of the law was to put a stop to this kind of violence; the purpose was to make the City and the tax-payers responsible for the outrages perpetuated by unreasonable and inhuman riots, mobs and lynchings. Unless some action is taken by the higher-ups, not the common element of people, to stop these mobs, the Government is in a critical state, and it will soon be dangerous for persons to walk along the streets. Such a condition must be abated and in order that the law might be enforced it is necessary to compel the City, when they fail to do their duty in the protection of life and property, to respond in damages as a penalty for its violation, thus bringing it home to every every creed.

It is up to the City and County to see that the law in enforced; if they fail, there is no question as to whether the individuals injured are entitled to compensation. The City has persistently contended heretofore that it is not liable for personal injury done to nobs, as if there were something matter with our laws, but is unable to sustain it. In of if judge at the law is sound and fair. The Supreme Court of the United States and every State in the Union where such questions have been raised, has held that it is good law. We cannot see how it is possible for the City and County to cringle when so many people have lost their all, both in person and in property; yet with this law staring them in the face they brazenly tell us that the City is not liable. With a few more judges on the bench, with the firmness and fairness and without equivocation, like Judge Joseph B. David, in the City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois, and the United States, would be a sane place to live in for every human-being regardless of creed or color. The peculiar situation about this opinion was that Judge David said he came from the South land, where in his State, he has seen colored people lynched and mobbed and that he has often wondered why the law could not and would not protect the life and liberty of these people in all the States, as he believed everyone should be given every chance to live without molestation in the confines of our country. Judge David is a member of the Democratic party and holds his position on the bench as a Democrat, while the officials who claim that the city is not liable are holding their positions as republicans and are doing so by the suffrage of the very (Continued on page 6.) n as (.o injured n. only con- tliable nobs, as matter able to CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7th, 1920 Arkansas Governor Stabbed by Colored Man TEXANS URGE LAW ALLOWING IMPORT OF MEXICAN LABOR Failure Would Mean Reduction of 50 Per Cent in Cotton Acreage. Associated Press Report. Washington, Jan. 27.—Suspension of the head tax and literary test provisions of the immigration laws to allow Texas cotton and truck growers to import necessary labor from Mexico, was urged before the senate immigration committee Tuesday by a delegation of Texas citizens. They proposed an amendment to the present law that would empower the secretary of labor to suspend the provisions whenever the necessity arose. Roy Miller of Corpus Christi, editor and farm owner, declared unless the proposed action were taken a labor shortage would result in a reduction of more than 1,000,000 bales in the Texas cotton crop this year and a permanent reduction of nearly 50 per cent in acreage under cultivation. Refuting suggestion that suspension of any part of the laws regulating migration of Mexicans to the United States would result in a movement of "reds" and bolshevik sympathizers to the United States, Mr Miller and Fred Foberts, another member of the delegation, told the committee that they did not believe there was any general "red" propaganda being disseminated in Northern Mexico. WESTBROOK FILES NEARLY A THOUSAND NAMES ON HIS PETITION. The popular independent candidate for Alderman of the Second Warri filed hundreds of names more than the statute requires, arresting his popularity and support in his fight against boss-rule and dollars. The "fear of the Lord" is now creeping into the hearts of the "Old Crowd" candidate as he fears the things that will naturally come out in a hotly contested campaign. The United Political League, strengthened by the addition of the Warren Douglas crowd, have started the active organization for the fight for precinct supremacy and their fight will be for the sake of right and clean politics and not as paid servants who work for a fixed price, regardless of who the candidate is or what issues are involved. Westbrooks is all primed for the fight and rumors of challenges and charges are in the air. All concede that Westbrooks will fight to the last and fight hard. Some are calling him Alderman already. WHY YOU SHOULD READ "THE WHIP" REV. L. K. WILLIAMS A MAN AMONG MEN Olivet Baptist Church makes Pastors Anniversary, Historical The Past week and up to Tuesday 10th Olivet Baptist Church has been observing the fourth anniversary of the call of Rev. L. K. Williams and his 25th anniversary as a Minister. Many events were planned and successfully carried out and each occasion contained some history making incidents. The best talent in the city in musical and literary line was called upon to help make the affair an unequaled success and in every way it was. Elaborate decorations added to the grace and dignity of the occasion and each night the guests and members were present in large numbers. Rev. L. K. Williams since coming to the city has made his presence felt in many ways. He has helped the race over trying incidents and pointed the shining light to hundreds grouping in the darkness. Through his efforts 27 different departments of his church have been organized and are lively activities now among his members and their friends. His Congregation is the largest and most influential in the city being something ever 7,000. Rev. Williams has held many positions of distinction and dignity during his life time and each is marked with some special benefit because of his splendid efforts, undaunted stand and ability. The various committees under the direction of Rev. J. H. Branham first Asst. Pastor, are deserving of special mention because of the success of such a large well conducted affair. The occasion was historical, helpful to the church and also the city. DUCK JUROR IN MUD TO HELP HIM DECIDE IN LA Monroe, La., Feb. 3—Because a juryman failed to agree to a verdict of guilty in the case of Alvin Calhoun, Negro, alleged confessed shayer of N. E. Arnold, a young white farmer, a mob publicly whipped the recalcitrant juror and then dipped him in a mud hole, say reports from Tallulah, where the trial was held. After his chastisement the mud-covered juror returned to the jury room and agreed to a verdict of murder in the first degree. He was then ordered to leave tofn by a delegation of citizens. The above incident not only shows the South is a place where even a white man's mind must not think contrary to the majority much less a Negro's. The American Flag should not wave from any part of the country south of the Mason & Dixon Line as it is neither the "Home of the Brave" nor the "Land of the Free."

READ THE "WHIP" Severely Wounded By Porter Over Pay Dispute Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 3.—(Special to The Whip.)—That the psychology of the colored people of the South has changed, and, That the 8 minute convictions by prejudiced jurors has not made them cowards was exhibited at the State Capitol when Tom Morsell, a colored porter, who for years has been employed at the Capitol resented an unjust rebuke by Acting-Governor Jas. T. Robertson. Feeling Bitter. A Whip reporter states that there is a well-organized attempt in this State to keep colored people afraid to demand a square deal. And that the Acting-Governor is an exponent of this theory. And when the porter finished doing some special work which Gov. Robertson had employed him to do he asked for his pay. The governor cursed him and threatened to kick him out of the office. Fight Ensued. Morsell replied: "You have got to kick your last some day." Becoming angry at the porter's manly attitude, the governor attempted to make good his threat. When his right foot was raised it met the shining steel and well directed aim of his would-be victim. Cries for help were made by Robertson, but no one would come to his assistance, fearing the same fate. FOILS LYNCHER'S PLANS Baltimore, Md., Feb. 3. — Police believe they have effectually frustrated a plan laid weeks ago by citizens of Mount Winans to lynch the Negro who assaulted Mrs. Sadie Sibley, of Annapolis Avenue, on Sept. 24, if he were caught. Not until later a Negro suspected of the crime was arrested and safe in jail did they know that a well-laid plan to get the assailant had been formed, — though they suspected that friends and neighbors would take the law in their own hands if they could. A committee of men, whose identity is not known, had agreed to meet at a given signal, which would be the tolling of the bell on the adjoining the Sibley home. The bell Mount Winans Methodist Church, was to be rung as soon as a Negro suspect was caught by the police and taken to Mrs. Sibley for identification. Captain Kalbfleisch, who led the hunt for the Negro, believes the people of the Mount Winans are satisfied now to let the law take its course. They believe, he said, that the prisoner will be convicted and hanged. George Terry, the Negro identified by Mrs. Sibley as her assailant, was taken to police headquarters this morning, to be recorded by the Bertillon system. After being measured, photographed and having had his fingerprints taken, he was sent to jail. He has been refused bail.

Never before in the history of America has there assembled such an aggregation of carnest and intelligent young men. The emancipation of the race from political slavery and debauchey was their aim. It is reported that the recent appointments of Sarah C.

As a matter of fact Robert Jackson had nothing to do with it, the names were chosen and indorsed by Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, president of the Women's Republican Club of the Second Ward of which there are 900 members. Assessor Krutchoffi carefully considered the applicants and the indorsment of the President of the Second Ward Club and made the appointments without further investigation or hesitancy. LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO.. A HUGE SUCESS. The Liberty Life Insurance Company has inaugurated the most unique stock selling plan ever introduced to our people. This plan is known among the stockholders of the Company as, "One gets One". As soon as a person becomes a stockholder he is requested to use all of his influence to interest another person to become a stockholder. In this way, we form a chain which brings all of those interested in the Company into direct contact with one another. By so doing, we are able to get people who are interested, and if they themselves are interested, we are certain that they will work even harder to interest someone else. When the organization is completed by the adoption of this method every stockholder will have become acquainted with one another, thereby, forming the strongest foundation of workers ever associated with any Life Insurance Company in America. Every Officer of the Company and also, every member of the Advisory Board, have become Agents, and as the result of their uniring efforts, the organization is being concluded much sooner than was previously expected.

NOTES FROM STOCK YARDS LABOR COUNCIL To Fight the Battles of All Workers, Regardless of Color, Race or Creed. The following is submitted as some of the prominent principles of the Stock Yards Labor Council. First—That the economic status of the Wage Earners is far from what it should be. Second—That the Wage Earners themselves must take up the solution if they would be benefited substantially. Third—That the standards of life of the colored man should be similar and equal to that of the white man. Fourth—That the two races when brought in contact in the field of industry shot d co-operate understandingly to attain the desired ends. Fifth — That less occasion for trouble between the races would exist if each had a better understanding of the struggles of the other and such an understanding had best come thru a labor union such as the Stock Yards Labor Council. Sixth-That no great gain can be obtained by any group of workers apart from, and independent of the other similar groups, hence the belief that all workers regardless of race, language or creed should become factors in the movement.

Now their leader says vote for him. What do you take us for, any way. The old "me too Boss" hand in hand types of leaders have presented MURDERER PARDONED Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 3.—Spencer Drummary of Lipston County, an aged colored man, serving a term from 10 to 20 years for murder in the penitentiary, received a commutation to voluntary manslaughter in order that his indeterminate sentence might be brought to a close. He has been in the penitentiary for a long time and has made a splendid record as a prisoner. The Pardon Board on recommendation of Judge W. A. Owen, who is throut-conversant with the case, has recommended a pardon as the Negro did not have the benefit of having his witnesses heard in court. He has a home in Lipton County to which he can go. And Gov. Roberts gave him a pardon, feeling that the ends of justice had been met. We can understand the reason for the man's conviction, but not for the so-called "twinge of consciousness" on the part of the Governor. Why not do a complete job, why not finish the order southern "justice" has started. The governor stated that the man had been unable to bring his witnesses into court. Well we ask who ever heard of a colored man who was allowed that privilege in the South? The governor has a tinge of conscience; we want justice, we do not want to be arbitrarily convicted of crimes of which we have no chance to prove ourselves innocent, and then after a peaceful and angelic career in prison be benevolently pardoned by a kind hearted governor. We want to be judged by the laws of the land; acquitted or approved guilty on the merits of the case. This tinge of conscience stuff is too much like benevolent despotism, like self-satisfied smirking superiority. On the merits of the case we stand or fall and not upon the "kindly" consideration of power at most times evilly disposed. To convict a man without allowing him to testify in his own behalf, to keep him in the penitentiary the better part of his life, and then to decree that he had had enough; what irony. Is it not but another way of Judge Lynch. Is it to sacrifice justice to wreck a man's life, to thrust him into the spirit breaking toils of the penitentiary, to keep him confined the better part of his life, to deprive him of all that makes life worth living, to deliberately pluck away his years as a maid might do the petals of a flower, and to leave him broken, bare, divested of hope, of love, of friends, is this to satisfy justice? What justice? Why justice never once entered this case. It was a question of "he's only a nigger." It was a question of handling a human life as thou it were a lump of mud, to be pushed aside with impatience. This colored man was not treated as being biologically kin to the white judge. He was looked upon as being some sort of inferior monkey, some sort of curiosity not to be regarded seriously. the people with a lovely cross. A Double Cross. Poor Kaiser his iron crosses do not compare. A certain Reverend Gentleman says that Negro Editors are ignorant and Shear Clipping. He evidently had the editor of the Enterprise in mind. We aggree.

Those Pinch Back, simpering lounge lizards, and parlor hounds who have the immitigated nerve to refer to virile fighting Negro manhood because they do not belong to "our set". God help the race if "your set" had to direct the destinies of an oppressed people. Come out of the shaded parlors and get your manicured hands dirty a bit and do something rather than talk so much. Why, certainly. To a Democratic administration membership in the Communist party constitutes a "perfect case" for deportation, just as membership in the Negro race constitutes a "perfect case" for burning alive. Mrs. Louise Meredith in "The Daily News" advocating secregation. Mrs. Meredith is supposed to be a welfare worker. She proves her ignorance in the question of segregation, because of her failure to make comparative analogies. Why not write on the Fifth wheel, The 9th Wonder or the Fourth demission. A certain "Devine" ought to be careful whose house he gets caught in, instead of criticising the Editor on technicalities. We dare say the man was not convicted in a vindicative spirit, but rather in a mood of careless indifference. "He's not worth bothering about, he's only a nigger and should he shoved along." We thank God that the Colored man is beginning to take himself seriously. We thank God he has left for behind the happy go lucky optimistic grin and bear attitude that has for so long kept him in the position of subjection and inferiority. We thank God that the Negro has come to believe himself a man, that the superstition of the South has stung him into the vital consciousness of his wrongs and that finally he has begun to realize and has willingly embraced the ductum and if necessary defend his rights with force. Equality in this world is founded on love, on an Angelic altruism. It is respect that makes one dog regard another as his equal, it is respect in its various degrees that lays at the bottom of the various class division, it is respect that accord to Japan the place of eminence she occupies in the politics of the World today. The Negro already respects himself—He has acquired the force that will make others respect him. The Negro already respects himself—he has indeed already advance mightily in the estimation of others. We can feel the pulse of times, the trend of events, the onward march of spirit that will crown the Negro with the light of full manhood, full fledged respect with all its glorious privileges. The most influential paper in Birmingham discussed in an editorial last week the question of Negro suffrage. It looked upon the possibility with favor. Is it because this paper feels kindly towards the Negro, is imbued with the so-called altruism? Not at all. It is merely a bit of uneasiness, a fear that this dog has been rolled in the dust, this creature that has so mildly submitted to unspeakable abuses, this "affair" which has as it were meekly accepted the position of inferiority, in which the white race placed him, might after all prove itself to be a man. It is the same fear that sent a small army to Dumas, Ark., last week. It is the same fear that is going to grow and grow until the very vistage of civil liberty and every one of a number of constitutional prerogatives are tendered a respected race.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 28th.—The Case of Rev. Alexander C. Garner, Washington, D. C., vs R. E. Jones was called in the Superior Court before Judge Dunham. By agreement of Attorneys the trial was by Judge rather than jury. Embraced in the suit against Jones (who is said to have come from Arkansas) are the cases of Rev. W. N. DeBerry, Springfield, Mass. and Rev. Chas. W. Burton of Chicago. These men were denied service in a Cafeteria owned and operated by Jones.

Jones will testify later. The line of defense was unique. No testimony was offered to show that the clergymen were denied service on account of color, but rather it was shown Jones did this with out authority from any one. He is said to have rented the Cafetoria part of his hotel one week before the unlawful ejection of the clergymen, but the first rent was received one day after the insult to the citizenship of the clergymen.

In response, the Mayor said that there were 100,000 colored persons in Philadelphia, and as a group they deserved proper recognition, and he promised to see that it was accorded them. NEGROES IN AFRICA TO HAVE TRAINING SCHOOLS MINISTERS vs. JONES CAFETERIA The ministers made a clear case and the dodge of transferred authority is but another way the white man has of cheating the law, in its operation in favor of justice to colored people. This was done to avoid damages. The case was clear but the defendent does not want to pay the cost of the law breaking. The white man cheats the law and our people by technicalities but every injustice makes enemies against the present administration of the law. Such incidents not only humiliates the pride and inflames the passion of our people, but it aids organizations that would destroy the present social order. Here is also an irreparable injury to the confidence of these clergymen in their own white fellowship, who did nothing to aid these men in getting justice, although they passed a long resolution in the Convention at the time, it never got to the Public in the form it was adopted by the Convention. These Clergymen have risen to positions of leadership in this demonition but achievement is no barrier to prejudice and public insult. Both Drs. Gardner and De Berry were elected as delegates from the white conferences and were elected to the positions of Asst. Moderatorship by white delegates, but this made no difference to the Arkansas Restaurant Keeper, who said it was his place and he would not feed colored people and then afterward said it was not his place. The Judge in the case has not yet rendered his decision. He is said to be wildly known for his fair and impartial judgement to one and all alike and much confidence is expressed in his decision in this matter. Nevertheless, one good thing has already come out of this trial, as the new owner of the said Cafeteria gave a sworn statement that he will not discriminate against any man. JAPANESE EMIGRATION TO MEXICO NOT HALTED Mexico City, Jan, 27.—With regard to statements attributed to the Japanese foreign minister, Viscount Uchida, that Japanese immigration to Mexico is controlled under an agreement between Japan and the United States, officials of the Japanese legation here are quoted in a statement published today as saying that Japanese immigration is continuing now, as formerly, without any difficulty or obstacles whatever. Immigration, the statement points out, has always been very small into Mexico, however. These facts are held by the legation officials to show that there is no prohibition against the emigration of the Japanese to any country whatever in which they desire to settle. The legation officials are also reported as denying a rumor that Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese minister to Mexico, has been replaced. Baron Otori has been in Japan for some months. It is announced the Japanese cruiser, Yakumo, after touching at Panama, will again visit Mazatlan before leaving for Japan.

The government must find some means of stamping out lynchings, he said, and declared that if it is not possible under the constitution then the constitution should be amended. TEXAS EVIDENCE What Texas regards as sufficient to lynch a man was well illustrated the other day by a letter received by the Fort Worth record from an irate Texan. The letter inclosed the pictures of the five New York socialists who are being tried for sedition, with the wise comment. "This picture is all I need to hang the whole bunch" and adds "but its agin' the constitution." We query what does a little thing like the constitution amount to the Texan? What is the good of knowing the constitution if it cannot be broken with impunity? HYDE PARK AND KENWOOD PROTESTED AT ST.MARK'S CHURCH Hyde Park & Kenwood Association Denounced.

DAVE PEYTON Critic, writer and composer who edits this sheet. Whip makes another catch. In keeping with policy of the Whip to secure the services of the best talent of the race to edit its columns, Mr. David Peyton, one of the best composers of America has been retained. Mr. Peyton has a reputation that speaks for itself; for years he has been stage manager and leader of the Grand Orchestra. He was at one time with the Chicago Searchlight. Besides his work at the Grand Theatre he has offices in the loop where he writes orchestrations for the best shows on the American stage. Mr. Peyton is a critic of rare ability — the members of the profession are sending letters daily complimenting the Whip in its new addition to its staff. Hundreds of the Whip's readers who have been anxious to read of the Amusement world will be gratified to read Mr. Peyton's criticisms. THEATRICAL AND MOVIE REVIEW Miller & Lyles closed a five week run at this house on Sunday night last. The Popular Comedians will take their show to the Lyceum Theatre, Cincinnati, Ohio. The Grand Theatre returned to its original policy, Vaudeville played to capacity on Monday night. The Headline attraction was the team of White and Bradford. They highly please the audience and leave them applauding wildly at the close of their act. John Woods the renowned Ventroloquist also shared honors on the bill. Little Henry was on the job and amused wonderfully. Some Act. Other acts were Brent Wood, Tom Foaley and Co. and Ebeneezers' Mule. All were very good. THE AVENUE "The Wolf" was very ably acted at the Popular Drama House. The story was a very strong one kept the drama fans in a lul at the exciting situation that the price affords. THE MONOGRAM THEATRE— They were lined up out in front of this house before the play started Monday night. Rockpile and Buster presented a funny act and made good. Leslie Carter a clever comedian pleased. Original Rags, who has not been on the Stroll for a year or more mistified the fans. White and Langford was a fine act.

Floyd and Lenoir, one of the best acts playing the big Circuit are laying off this week taking a much needed rest. Joe Bright, the famous Actor and Producer, will open an indefinite engagement at the Grand Theatre on Thursday. Mr. Brigha won great laurels in the East the past three years, and will doubtless do the same here. Tom Cross and his Abbysinian Trio are meeting with much success on the Gus Sun Times. Margaret Jackson, the race's leading Prima Dona is a riot on every bill. Minstrel Movies will stall on his route shortly. He will go West to entertain the Theatrical Fans. The oldest son of Clarence Muse, the actor, is still confined in the Memorial Hospital, having gone there to have an operation. The boy is doing fine at this writing to the delight of his parents. Bert Williams was a caller at the Writer's publishing house this week. Mr. Williams, the peer of all comedians, is preparing a few new songs for next season. Jerome and Williams now playing together, have prospects of a bright future. Both are clever performers. Wilber Sweatman and his Jazz Boys were a riot at the Palace this week, in the Loop. This is their first time in Chicago for a few years. "Sweat" as he is called stopped all the shows with his Clarinetst and his two assistants. The three Clarinets played at once was original and artistic. Dave and Lillian will open at the Grand last half of this week. Lew Canton is no longer booking the Grand Theatre. Geo. Webster, the veteran agent, is the booker. May Kemp, formerly of the Kemps has taken a few weeks of the consolidated time. She plays Cincinnati this week. Willie Taylor, the violinist, is leading the orchester at Dudley's Theatre in Detroit. Herbert Byron of the Musical Byrons was in city for one day and paid a visit to Wilber Sweatmen, leavinf MARY MIT ANK MON that night for Springfield, where he opened on Monday. The boys are doing fine. BOTTOMS HAS NEW IDEA. Always in the laboratory of Bill's mind there is a series of experiments. The object of these experiments is to ferret out something new, novel, and wholesome in the amusement line. The latest product from this genius is the "Midnight Frolics." Every night from 12 to the "wee hours" in the morn an aggregation of Chicago's Best Talent will be in evidence. Chinese and American Foods will be served at popular price. Bill's latest invention is causing quite some favorable comment and those who have seen and danced to the Rythmic Harmonical Straines of the Dreamland Jazz Band says that it is irrisistible. In Class by Himself: On the whole Dreamland is in a class by itself. It truly can be called the excelsior of the Frolic and amusement. Bottoms has set a wonderful example for race business men. He does not ask for support on a basis of sentiment but because he has the largest and most pelatial place in Chicago, and finally he gives more equitable returns. You can not appreciate the Dreamland until you have been to other places and seen how much they are behind and how little they have to offer in comparison with the Dreamland. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS Patrons of the La Fayette Stock Company were disappointed at the non-apearance of Miss Evlyn Ellis in "Fine Feathers." They were further disappointed in Miss Charlotte Freeman, who did not make a good showing in the same play. The inclination of Clarence Muse to hold Miss Ellis in the back ground a little too long is the impression the patrons are arriving at.

The report submitted by Dr. R. R. Moton to the Trustees, has been carefully prepared and covers every important activity during the School term including highly interesting and informing side-lights on the economic conditions in the South as well as inter-racial situation. The Report also shows wonderful War results of the special training of 1,229 men as auto-mechanics, chaffees, blacksmiths, leather workers, electricians, metal workers and other army activities. The Tuskegee tained workers gave most efficient serviec in the camps and over seas. Rural Schools Increased. In May 1919 at the time the report was completed there had been erected or was in the process of completion 720 Modern Schools for Negros; this particular work was made possible by the large donations of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago. $1,133,083 was expended in these buildings making them model schools in the miniature of Tuskegee; of this amount expended Mr. Rosenwald gave $227,065.00. As Mr. Moton states, "Remarkable as these figures are, Mr. Rosenwald's benefactions cannot be measured merely in dollars and cents. ItI represents increased sympathy in education on the part of white and colored people, and links these schools n a vital way to the community, county and state." Health Record. A fine demonstration of the splendid organization at Tuskegee is shown in a record of the activities during the influenza epidemic. Ac- cording to their record 449 cases of influenza were treated in the Hospital, 32 of which developed into pneumonia, but there was not a single death. The report further shows that during the past five years there have been 6,828 cases treated in the Hospital with a total of 28 deaths, and out of 379 surgical operations there were but 8 deaths. Academic Department. The enrollment this year was 2,098 with 353 teachers. This does not include the Summer school. The Summer School was attended by 572 teachers and 1,229 soldiers in train- Wonderful Work. Tuskegee continues to be the greatest school of its kind in the world and the good that it does and the different ways that it touches the heart of he Great Southland can not be estimated or the results enumerated. The Great Founder, Booker T. Washington is not dead; his spirit moves on and he is still serving his people. Tuskegee will always live and always grow. WOMAN DOCTOR FIRST SEIZED IN WHISKEYCHARGE Dr. Anna Schultz, 3420 Calumet Ave., was the first person to be arrested on the charge of writing whiskey prescriptions indiscriminately. It has been reported she has received between three and five hundred dollars a day for prescriptions. The new 18th amendment provides that one pint of Whisky every 10 days may be subscribed for one person. Many Drug Stores are doing a rushing business and making enormous profits. Druggists pay $4.00 a gallon for the whiskey and sell it for as high as $10.00 a pint on prescriptions which is profiteering to the limit. The government threatens to establish a government whiskey dispensary of drug stores continue to charge the high prices. There have ben numerous complaints about the price of it and in event a government place is established it will take it out of the hands of the druggists utterly.

We often advise the colored people to always use the best manners and deport themselves circumspectly on the streets and all public places. This will prove a great asset in the colored race's favor. Remember it is us and not the other race that is always on trial. Another thing to which your attention is called in the Whip, is better conduct in their place of business, not allow that rag time, vulgar, noisy crowd to perform in a business, supposed to be first class for service. Do not allow loafing in any business, it will soon ruin you. If you are conducting merely a one chair Barber shop run it decently.

On Sunday morning, February 1, our pastor Dr. H. E. Stewart, delivered his first sermon of a series of sermons on "The Present Crisis and How To Meet It". The subject was based on the Acts of The Apostles, 7th chapter. Dr. Stewart brought before us the crisis of the early days of the church and how it was met at that time, and further stated that the way it was met at that times is the way we must meet it today, namely: By prayer and waiting on the Lord. And whenever God knows that men are praying, he is going to help them and as surely as we wait upon the Lord, He will come and abide with us, and we will be new creatures. He will send the comforter who will walk with us in darkness if we only hear the voice of God saying, "Stand Still and Wait." Next Sunday morning the pastor will preach his third sermon on how to prepare for the present crisis. Morning service begins 11.45 and closes 12.445. There will also be an after service. At 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon all graduates and under graduates will meet at Quinn Chael to arrange for Founder's Day. Bible Class taught by the pastor will continue its meetings every Wednesday evening. LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Members aroused for New Church.

The question as to the future of the church has not been fully determined, but there is a strong sentiment crystallizing in favor of building a great institutional Church and Community House that will stand open every day in the week to serve all the needs of the community and the complete needs of the complex life of man. The pastor of the church, Rev. Chas. Wesley Burton, M. A. of Yale has a high vision for the modern church. WELLINGTON NOVELTY SHOP High grade waists and silk underwear at lowest prices.

YOUNG DOCTORS OPEN MOD ERNLY EQUIPPED SUITE. Two Dentists and Physician associated in program of health conservation. X-Ray and all modern appliances installed. For the first time, colored professional men have actually initiated a program aimed definitely at scientific health conservation, through the association of specialists, and the installation of the best equipment known to the dental and medical profession.

Liewellyn Harris, Jr., physician and nutrition specialist. Dr. Harris has practiced medicine for ten years. He served as first-tieutenant in the Medical Corps of the Army. His emphasis on nutrition is a result of this experience and since his return to civil practise he has studied under Dr. W. R. P. merson, Ex-Health Commissioner of New York and founder of the Nutritional Clinic of Boston for delicate children. His specialty will be diseases and disorders of nutrition. Dr. Harris believes it more important to keep well than to get well and attempts to so instruct his patients in dietary and living conditions to the end of reducing illness to a minimum. The offices, at the Avenue Theatre Bldg., on the southwest corner of Indiana Avenue and 31st Street, comprise a suite of seven rooms and are arranged with a view to comfort and efficiency.

HAMPTON, VA., Feb. — The St. Christopher team of St. Philip's Church, New York, defeated Hamp- MISSISSIPPI NIGHT SCHOOLS Jackson, Miss., Feb. 3.—Dr. S. O. Redmond, physician of Jackson and one of the most prominent citizens of the state has inaugurated a movement to establish consecutively thru out the state a system of night schools for the benefit of all colored people above school age. In this undertaking Dr. Redmond desires to enlist the co-operation of all preschers and school teachers in spreading the information. He says, "the work of interesting these derelicts in reading and writing once started would be easy for I feel sure that most persons of education would be only too glad to assist in this great work." The plan adopted will seek to teach any adult to read and write within sixty days and under an intensified campaign it is hoped that fully half of Mississippi's illiteracy among Negroes should be wiped out within the next six months, thereby giving the state a higher rank among the states of the nation as well as equipping its colored population with that intelligence which will make them better appreciate their surroundings. Dr. Redmond firmly believes that the future welfare, progress and prosperity of every people, race and nation depends almost wholly upon the intelligence and mental development of the people and that the abnormal ignorance of the Negroes in Mississippi serves as a barrier to all progress. THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN Burlington, Vt., Feb. 1, 1920. — "Governor Thomas W. Bickett, of North Carolina at the closing session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference said, "The white man owes it to his own tradition to his own self-hespect and to his own self-preservation to guarantee to the Negro the fullest protection of the law. The South, in denying to the Negro any participation in the making and in the administration of the law, makes him in a very sacred sense the ward of law." "Real greatness and progress of men, of races and of nations are measured not by power or possessions but by their contribution to the forces that make life brighter and sweeter for the average man. I urge you to hearken to the wisdom of Booker Washington when he said 'we ought not allow our grievances to overshadow our opportunities." "White men owe it to themselves, the community, the State and nation to keep the laws which they themselves have enacted and to see to it that all law-abiding Negroes are guaranteed such protection and enjoyment of every right and privilege that any other good citizen enjoys. If this is done the Negro will be content to live in the south and will prove as valuable and trustworthy citizens as any other group in the nation, and particularly in the south, which will then be secure against Bolshevism and other dangerousisms." Subscribe The Whip ton, in one of the fastest basketball games ever seen here, by a score of 30 to 14. The "Red and Black Machine" The second half, began with St. Christopher again leading in the score. The Hampton rooters, losing all hope of winning the game, began to enjoy the sensational playing of the visitors. This victory places St. Christopher and Hampton on an even basis. In the six games played, both have three victories to their credit. The visitors excelled in every department of the game and gave one of the finest exhibitions of basketball ever seen here. Although the game was hard played, it was free from roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct. The line-up was as follows: Hampton (14) Phillips (Cptein) R. F. McLaren L. F. Bradby C. Freeman L. G. Wright R. G. St. Christopher (30) PLATFORM OF THE UNITED POLITICAL LEAGUE. Because of the present unsatisfactory order of society, political and economic affairs we feel that it is incumbent upon us to offer substantial remedies thus an intelegent constructive political organization. We are further cognizant of the fact that if the present conditions prevail the social, political and economic rights of American citizens will be held in immediate jeopardy and in the end will be further impaired. Therefore, we have organized the United Political League and adopt the following platform. 1. We believe that any clearly differentiated group is best represented by a member of that group; therefore, we recommend that this principle be applied in the selection of a representative to Congress from the 1st Congressional district and a State Senator from the 3rd Senatorial district. And we further believe that all groups should be represented on the Board of Health and the Board of Education. 2. We advocate a general educational program in economic and politics to insure a fuller knowledge of American Institutions and to enable the voters to procure the proper kind of representation. 3. We stand for the abolition of all institutions and propaganda that seek to discriminate, segregate, intimidate and deny equal privileges to American citizens, most specifically the Hyde Park, Kenwood, Marquette, Park-Manor, Oak Park, Englewood and all kindred organizations. 4. We stand for Public-ownership and the democratic operation of Public utilities. 5. We stand for Civil-Service free from political influences. 6. We favor federal legislation against lynching, Jim Crowism and disfranchisement with adequate enforcing measures. 7. We stand unqualifiedly for full suffrage for Women. 8. We are opposed to Boss rule, machine made candidates and sinecure positions. 9. We stand for the election of men to office on the basis of merit and qualification and feel that their official conduct should be closely scrutinized. 10. We are unalterably opposed to vice immunity privilege and graft. 11. We believe that our ordinances relative to city contracts should be scrupulously enforced and not subject to patronage abuses. 12. We stand for better housing conditions and cheaper rentals. 13. We favor the employment of more effective means to have cleaner streets and alleys in all districts populated by working people. 14. We favor the extension of free milk and infant welfare stations into all districts. 15. We favor the establishment of a well equipped Public Library and Public park within the district bounded on the north by 31st St. on the south by 37th St., on the west by State St. and on the east by the lake. 16. We endorse the principle of a 100 per cent true and genuine Americanism. Lincoln State Bank of Chicago Loans and Discounts..... $ 958,243.37 Inspected and approved by our Board of Directors.

JACK JOHNSON CAN COME BACK Jack has grown weary of the sandy arena, and click, click of the Moving Picture machines, and the dodging of the horns of the maddened bull, and wants to shake hands in the rope ring one more in the United States.

Wade, wealthy race man and Vice-president of the Universal Profit Sharing Stores Company left the city this week to surprise his large oil interests in his former home town Enid, Okla. Mr. Wade is reputed to be worth not less than $500,000. Despite this immense wealth he is a very plain and accessible character. He is never too busy to listen to anyone, who has an idea that is good for the general uplift of our people, since his advent in Chicago he has purchased a palatial home at 3715 Vincennes Ave. which is a credit to his taste. Thru the efforts of Mr. O. E. Robinson and T. W. Allen, Mr. Wade persuaded to become interested in the Universal Proft Sharing Stores Co. Thru his assistance and cooperation this company is second to none of its kind in the civilized world. Mr. Wade says that he does not wish publicity or notority, but he is going to use both his money and brain to the best interest of his race and community. SOCIALISTS PROTEST DELAY OF N. Y.

It is rumored that Jack has tried to negotiate with Charles F. Clyne, District Attorney, but Mr. Clyne says no negotiations can be made with a fugitive from justice.

Ninth—That is a business proposition of the employers, and especially those who employ in large numbers men and women to keep the workers divided in sentiment wherever ever and however possible to prevent united effort on the part of all the workers. Tenth — That all conscientious leaders of all the workers who have an interest in the welfare of the working men should lend their moral support to a safe and sane solution of so important a problem as the one in question, namely: that of encouraging and advising the workers to come to an intelligent understanding of the general problems confronting all.

We await your answer and especially the colored voters of Chicago. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal property was lost. Hundreds of persons sustained, injuries during this unmereful, unwarranted and undeterred riot in Chicago. Children have made to become fatherless; women have become widows, as a result of its damnable stench; yet you, the city of Chicago, County of Cooks and State of Illinois have refused to listen to the appeals for succor, guaranteed to these people by the laws of our Commonwealth.

FRENCH FLOCK TO SEE APPARATION OF VIRGIN -Although claims that an apparition of the Virgin had been seen at Noveant, a village near here, have been proved without foundation crowds continue to flock to the place. So great is the throng wishing to see the phenomenon, which is caused by the shadows of two trees, that special automobile service has been established between this city and the village. Every house in Noveant and in the adjacent country is filled with pilgrims who believe there is something supernatural in the illusion. CAPITAL AND LABOR MEET IN CHURCH CONFERENCE Pittsburgh. Jan. 29.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Frank Morrison secretary of the American Federation of Labor, were announced today as two of the principal speakers at a national laymen's conference to assemble here Saturday to "consider the whole task of the Protestant Churches of North America at home and abroad." The conference will last three days. Daniel A. Poling, director of the laymen's activities department of the interchurch movement, who planned the conference, announced that about 250 delegates representing every state, will be presen- Among the other speakers announced are Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas, Gov. Carl E. Milliken of Maine, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, John R. Mott and a number of others closely connected with the interchurch movement. Subjects to be considered will be the "Layman and his life," the "Lay- man and the evangelistic programme," and the "Layman and his money." WHITE MAN GETS SEVEN YEARS FOR KILLING NEGRO Augusta, Ga., Feb. 3rd.—James Shippa, a young white man who recently killed a colored cook in a local hotel, where, it is alleged, the latter refused to serve him a gizzard with a chicken order. Monday was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years at the State Farm. This seems too astonishing to be true. We wager the man will be released after the noise of the affair has blown over. He was convicted, let it be known through the intervention of the manager of the hotel who vigorously prosecuted the white man. This is only a starter. The Negro in America will never rest satisfied until cases like this have become the rule, not the exception. TEARS CISTERN AWAYTORESCUECOW Calls Out Fire Department. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 3.—Taylor Staudard, colored was subjected to an experience of excruciating agony and suspense yesterday. His cow dropped down the cistern. Uh, huh! right through the hole and into five feet of water. How Bossey ever took it into her head to investigate the mossy coolness of the well, is not known, but it is believed that like the dog in the fable, her ire was aroused by the presence of cow No. 2 in the bottom of the well. At any rate Staudard heard the plunge and rushed out frantically with the clothes line. After unsuccessfully trying to heave her aloft by her horns and said clothes line, he called the Fire Department. Yes Sir! the Fire Departament. It responded to his call, dug a trench, tore out the side of the well and led poor Bossey forth in to the light. The unfortunate bovine was nearly frozen after her two hour stay in ice water, and Staudard was left frantically massaging her legs in order to restore circulation. The Firemen though Staudard would probably have ice-cream instead of milk for supper. HUMANE SACRIFICE MADE IN HAITI Reports from Haiti tend to show that the efforts of America to civilize the natives are being offset by the practise of Voodooism. This savage and almost ineditable weird superstition is supposed to have been brought to America and West Indies when slaves were imported from the Wilds of Africa. In the milder manifestations as in America, it has seldom passed the bounds of comparatively harmless play upon the superstitious fears of illiterate colored people. But in Haiti human lives are being sacrificed, and cannibalism is practised. The Jungle cult teachers think Evil is stronger than Good, but the souls of the departed become furries, and that one's deceased relatives try to bring them harm. These forces of iniquity, it is taught can be frustrated by charms sold by priests, male and female, called respectively, "papalvi" and "wamam-loi." When the priests hold their secret meeting a human being is killed and the priests drink his blood. 90 percent of the natives in Haiti practise Voodooism, believe in it or are in fear of it and its devotees. Just how much voodooism has survived in the Southern states is not known, but in recent years traces of it have been developed in testimoneys in the police courts. On many occasions fights have been caused by plaing erosed sticks on door steps. Little twists of human hair cunningly arranged have been long held in awe. DEAN WILLIAMS PICKENS JOINS N.A.A.C.P. STAFF Noted Orator Resigns as Dean of Morgan College to Devote Himself to Organization. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that William Pickens has resigned as Dean of Morgan College to join the Association's staff and will devote his entire time to the organization of Negroes throughout the United States. No orator of the race is so well known to colored Americans as Mr. Pickens. Native of Anderson Coun- THE CHICAGO WHIP ty, South Carolina, where he was born in 1881, he migrated to Arkansas with his parents in 1888 and entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. His oratorical ability was manifested at an early age as he was valedictorian of his class in the Union High School of Little Rock. During his career in Talladega College, Alabama, he led in all his studies and won a number of oratorical and literary prizes. Upon his being graduated from Talladega, Mr. Pickens entered Yale University in 1902 and here, in a class of 300 men, he captured one of that institution's most coveted honors, the Henry James Ten Eyck Oratorical Prize. He was also elected to America's foremost honorary society among college men, Phi Beta Kappa, and was graduated from Yale in the highest rank of his class, delivering the Philosophical Oration. From the time of his graduation from Yale, in 1904, until he joined the staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1920, Mr. Pickens devoted himself to teaching. He was teacher of languages at Talladega College and Professor of Greek and Sociology at Wiley University, Tex., becoming dean of Morgan College in 1915. In the year 1913 Mr. Pickens interrupted his academic career to travel in Europe. With his election as vice president of Morgan College in 1918, Mr. Pickens established a record as the first of his race to hold that office and the office of dean also. The record of Mr. Picken's service to his race is a long and a varied one. He was a member of the Niagara Movement and with J. E. Spingarn he started the movement in Louisville, Kentucky, which resulted in the decision of the United States Supreme Court against segregation in American cities. When he became dean of Morgan College the plant consisted of one building on a fraction of an acre. He leaves it, after five years, with a dozen buildings and 84 acres in the city of Baltimore and with great promise of a bright future. During the war Mr. Pickens was instrumental, together with Major Spingarn, in originating the movement for a colored officers training camp and the result was the first of such camps at Des Moines, Iowa. He was in addition a member of colored section of the Maryland Council of Defense. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that Mr. Pickens is to have the title of Associate Field Secretary. PYRAMID MUTUAL Mr. Edward Bowen, who was formerly with the Union Mutual, a Million Dollar Colored Insurance Company which operated in all the southern states, is now General Manager for the Pyramid Mutual Casualty Company of Chicago. Mr. Bowen, has had fourteen years of Insurance experience and was at one time Supervisor of Agents in several of the southern states. The Pyramid Mutual Casualty Company is fortunate in obtaining the services of this high-class Insurance man. The city of Chicago hands Mr. Edward Bowen the keys to the city, and hopes that he will assist in making Chicago the foremost Insurance city of the world. He is now located at the Home- Office of the Pyramid Mutual Casualty Company, 3539 So. State St., where he will be glad to see his many thousands of friends. TO THE VOTERS OF SECOND WARD It has been repeatedly said that the voters of the second ward of the City of Chicago, had not the independence to cast their ballot for their best interest, but were led by job holders who were under instructions from the Bosses and did not have the interest of the People at heart. For many years in political circles it has been presumed by the Bosses that the voters could be bought and sold as chattels and therefore no consideration has been given to the interest and condition of the Ward, but by giving a few jobs to the so-called leaders and distributing money on election day, under the guise of employing workers, the will of the Bosses has been carried out to the letter. In the campaign of 1918 there were two contending forces bidding for the suffrage of the voters of this ward. Much publicity was given through the press and various pamphlets concerning the unfitness of the candidates and signed by men prominent in the affairs of this ward. We have now the same candidates who after a Harmony Dinner attempting to tell the voters of this ward that the information then given to the voters in 1918 concerning the changes of graft and incompetency one of the The Whip is the only colored paper you can rely upon for clean, wholesome news. It knows no compromise with justice. It is the only paper that presents without reserve the cause of the new Negro. It gives you the facts without fear of consequence. other should be forgotten and that you should re-elect to the City Council one of those candidates. At times one is compelled to wonder whether the Bosses think the voters can be misled in such crude manner. In accord with the presumption of the Bosses a few jobs have been given and the Ward neglected, and again the Bosses have selected as the representative of this Ward against the wishes of the people an official who has failed to represent the voters of this Ward. A look at the streets and alleys in this Ward will convince the most casual observer that the filth and stench therein found is nowhere in the City of Chicago duplicated, for instance compare the Hyde Park, Kenwood and Lake Shore Drive districts and then consider that each Ward has an equal number of Aldermen and the evidence is conclusive that the representatives of this ward have not served the interest of the People who gave them their suffrage and made it possible for them to be elected, but that they have served the interest of the Bosses who distributed the funds on election day. Again during the past several months many homes of Negro Citizens have been BOOMED and not one substantial move has been made by the representatives of this Ward in the City Council. We task you, Mr. and Mrs. Voter: If you know of any other Race of People whose homes have been destroyed, for no other reason, than the fact that they were members of a particular race, except the members of the Negro Race and their homes? If you know of any other group of people whose representatives have failed to take any action to protect their homes and lives? We ask you if you believe that if the homes of other racial groups had been destroyed as our homes have been and their representatives had sat like dumb cattle being driven to slaughter would they re-elect them to represent their interest in the City oCouncil? We ask you if the police officers justifiably raided the homes of decent and respectable citizens and had thrown the members of the household in the filthy jail cells and denied them the right to call for their friends to obtain bonds for their release, and their representatives had utterly failed and neglected to protest against such outrages perpetrated on the citizens, as is now being done in the Second Ward, would any other racial group re-elect such representatives to the City Council? We ask you to inspect the bathing beaches in other districts, then go to the 26th Street Beach, in this Ward and note the comparison. The Bosses have other work for their selected Alderman to perform and your interest are therefore neglected. The Bosses spend the money on election day and thereby reap the results of their investment. These conditions will continue to prevail unless you Mr. and Mrs. Voter have reached the point, wherein you cannot be bought and sold on Election Day and persuaded by the petty job holders and hangers on to vote for the candidate selected and dictated to by the Bosses, BUT WILL EXERCISE YOUR INDEPENDENCE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS AND VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE OF PEOPLE, WHO WILL BE SUBJECT TO YOUR ORDERS AND NOT TO THE BOSSES BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THEY HAVE SPENT PAYING YOU FOR YOUR SUFFRAGE. The UNITED POLITICAL LEAGUE, composed of citizens who want an ALDERMAN to represent the People and not the Bosses submit to your consideration RICHARD E. WEST- BROOKS, Republican, Candidate for Aldeman of the SECOND WARD. Election February 24th, 1920. Both Men and Women vote for this office. COLORED PARSON SEEKS TWO BARRELS OF IT New Orleans, Fb. 3.—A colored parson clad in his ministerial garb, entered the office of Rufus W. Toutmet, collector of Internal Revenue, a few days ago.

The Parson replied that he needed two large barrels of good claret, "because I've got quite a large flock."—He got it—not. CHURCH OF NEW JERUSALEM Johnson's Hall, 3518 So. State St. Rev. A.

Manager 8th REGIMENT NOTES Colonel Otis B. Duncan adressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Indianapolis a few days ago. His subject "Moral Reetitude" was well received. After returning from Springfield, the Colonel made a hurried inspection tour of the down Static Companies, and found the 3rd Battalion progressing nicely with their recruiting campaign. Orders from Governor Lawden have been received directing that Head quarters Company, including the Band Section, the Supply Company B, be formally mustered into the service of the State of Illinois on the evening of February 11th. These three companies have filled their quota and after the muster requisitions will go forward for their arms and equipment. Lieutenant Colonel John H. Patton has been appointed Inspection and Mustering Officer to master the above mentioned Companies. The remaining companies will be mustered as soon as they secure the required number of men. The 17th Annual Military Ball will be given on Thursday Eve, February 12th (Lincoln's Birthday) and this affair promises to eclipse all previous affairs. All soldiers and former soldiers are invited to attend in uniform and all our overseas heroes are expected to be present. Miss Essie Arnold, who is in charge of the Ladies' Committee, has been successful in creating added interest in the Ball. Captain Robert L. Chavis, Commanding Company F, has returned to the City after a very pleasant sojourn in the South and is in active charge of the recruitment and reorganization of his Company. The Regimental Basket Ball Team journeyed to Gary last week and added to its collection the sculp of the Gary Independents. A red hot game has been scheduled with the Emmerson St. Y. M. C. A. Team at Evanston and Lieutenant Johnson is putting his team through some strenuous practice in order to get the team in the best possible condition for the game. The Prmiric Tennis Club gave it very delightful Whist Party and Dance in the Colonel's Quarters last Thursday Evening. The Indoor Tennis Court has been completed and play or the court has been started. On account of the small number of recruits needed to fill the regiment's extra effort is being made to induce former service men to re-enlist while there is a change. Former service men are being enlisted for one year and all others for either one or three years, in the latter case the proportion of one and three year enlistments is in the proportion of one to two. On account of enlistments being practically all made within the past few months, there will be no discharge within the next year and after the quota is filled it will be impossible to join the regiment until some man is discharged. Y.W.C.A. NOTES The opening of the Blue Triangle Club was Tuesday evening Jan. 27. from 3 to 10. A number of visitors were present and a most enjoyable time was had. The club is beautifully decorated. The color scheme being of blue and gold. It contains an Assembly Room, Library, Rest Room, a Kitchenette and shower bath. All girls are invited to become members of the "Girl Reserves" and help share these comforts and privileges. The Vesper services Feb. 1, were largely attended. Rev. D. V. Bower of Liberty Baptist Church gave a very interesting talk. A female choi and the regular Liberty choir, both under the direction of Prof. A. W Berry rendered most excellent music. Julius F. Bramn, L. L. B. will be in charge of Vesper services next Sunday, Feb. 8, special music is being prepared for the occasion. Next Thursday evening's socia will be held Feb. 5, in the Assembly Room of The Blue Triangle Club Games and Community singing will be a part of the program. The public has a standing invitation to these socials. When passing the Association building at 3541 Indiana Ave. don't forget to observe the servicable gift which has just arrived, "A Bulletin Board" given the Association by Aldermen Jackson and Anderson. Y.M.C.A. NOTES Success is the goal of all right thinking and forward looking men. Many elements enter into the winning of such a goal. The Y. M. C. A. mind full of all round manhood, has developed various methods of assisting men to reach the goal of success. One of the methods the Y. M. C. A. user is to help men master money rather than to be a slave to it. The ability to earn adequately, spend wisely, and save consistently may mean the difference between success and failure — between prosperity and soverty — between a christian home and a prison cell. The following ten steps to success are suggested: 1 Work and earn 2 Make a budget 3 Keep a record of expenditures 4 Have a Bank account 5 Carry Life Insurance 6 Make a will 7 Own your own home 8 Pay your bills promptly 9 Share with others 10 Join the Y. M. C. A. Mr. B. T. Ransom, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. in Indianapolis, paid us a visit last week. Mr. Ransom is also General Manager of the Madam C. J. Walker & Company, and is a great man. The Y. M. C. A. needs more men like Mr. Ransom. The Morris Glee Club is out for 200 members. The Armour Glee Club is out for a like number. Mr. Robt. F. Tinsley has joined the staff as Activities Secretary. Mr. Tinsley is an ordained minister with seventeen months experience as Y. M. C. A. War Service Secretary. Mr. Geo. W.

EDITORS' MAIL Detroit, Mich., January 27th 1920 The WHIP, Chicago, Ills. Gentlemen: In behalf of the Publicity Committee selected for the political prisoner recently arrested in Detroit, I am herewith mailing you a compilation of some of the facts conneted with the recent raid in Detroit. Your paper is at liberty to make use of this verbatim if they desire without credit, or they may boil it down, reduce or revise it in any manner they may see fit, as long as the changes are not inconsistent with the contents. Sincerely yours, Henry Glicman, Attorney for Publicity Bureau 1023 Penobscot Bldg., Detroit, Mich --- In the recent raids on "Reds" in Detroit carried on by the Department of Justice, the agents of the "Justice Department" of "our" government displayed a brutality and "efficiency" as man-hunters which compares quite favorably with the vandalism of the horrible Hun. Promptly at nine in the evening of January 2nd, these "agents" together with several hundred police descended upon 23 different halls in the city, where meetings, dances and socials were being held. Men of every nationality and creed, and of all shades of political opinion, were thrown into waiting patrol wagons and herded into the various jails and "bull-pens". On the top floor of the Federal building seven hundred men were kept for days without food or water, and without toilet facilities were safety razors. The authorities, in their maz search for "evidence" immediately saw in this an attempt to arm the prisoners, and a statement was given to the press that a plot to arm "the reds" had been frustrated. Seven hundred men, confined in the Federal Building and surrounded by armed guards are accused of plotting to overthrow constituted government in these United States with the Department decided it would At first the authorities stated that they were holding the prisoners on 'presidential warrants', although such things are unknown in America. She letters de cachet of Louis XV. has been introduced into America, although the divine right of kings is supposed to be abolished. After habeas corpus proceedings had been started and it appeared that all would be released by court order, the Department of Justice operatives condescended to accept bail for the release of the prisoners. Many have been released on security ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Real estate security, such as is usually accepted in the case of criminals was refused. The Department deided that it would accept only liberty bonds. Everything has been done to make it difficult to secure the release of the prisoners. People who might be inclined to assist these men have been intimidated by the brutal and high-handed methods of the agents of the government who seem to have unlimited power it is considered dangerous to lift a finger or say a word which indicate that you are in sympathy with these men who would hold political ideas and opinios which fail to meet the approval of Attorney-ien. Palmer—the uncrowned king at Washington. Many American citizens who were caught in the "dragnet" were interrogated as to their Americanism by foreign-born agents of the Department of Justice. It is said that a large number of these "agents" have been recruited from the former Russian secret police who found themselves without employment after the collapse of the Imperial Russian government. These men have wormed their way into the organizations under investigation and are to a large extent responsible for the alleged "criminal anarchy" and "criminal syndicalism". It is an old trick, this, the agent provocateur deeply leads his victim into acts or statements in violation of the law, and then conducts the raid and appears as the accusing witness against his victims. Following the raids the prisons of the city were so over-crowded that men were packed together like sarlines in a box. Cells 4x10 ft. were occupied by as many as twelve men. There was just room to stand up and many remained in this condition or days. Finally the local health authorities demanded that the men be removed to more sanitary quarters, fearing that epidemis would result. This fear became so real that employees of the Municipal Building threatened to strike unless the hundreds of prisoners crowded together in the "black hole" in the basement were removed and sanitary conditions maintained. Prof. Wood of the Socialological department of the University of Michigan has vigorously protested against his brutality of the raids and the menace of persecuting and deporting men who have advanced ideas. Among the "dangerous characters" taken in the raids and held are John Geracher, well known as a lecturer and writer. He is charged with being a criminal anarchist and is held on $10,000 bail for deportation. Albert Renner who is widely known through his activities in the Socialist Party and in educational organizations is charged with violations of the Michigan criminal syndicalist law and has been released on $5,000 bail John Kolik was caught in the raids and is held for deportation. Kolik law service in France and has not yet been discharged from the United States Army. His activities consist in nothing more dangerous than working for The Ford Motor Co. Geo. Possukow, another soldier not detcharged from the army, is also held for deportation. Both of these men have back soldier's pay coming to them from the Government. in his possession passports just granted which would enable him to return to his native village in Poland. His passports have been taken from him and he too is held for deportation. William Krispenz, who had previously been arrested as a dangerous alien and released on $10,000 cash bail, was re-arrested and held for eleven days and then released. The charge against him is that he is a "dangerous alien anarchist", all of which he most emphatically denies. DR. S. 3102 I C. 2 The raiders strove to emulate the example of Atilla and his bordes of barbarians. They preferred to open doors with an ax in preference to using keys, desks were jimmied open in true burglar fashion, they seized everything that was not nailed down, including postage stamps of the usual red variety, rubber bands, and paper clips and dangerous looking pens. One officer was after some difficulty convinced that what he thought was an infernal machine was in reality an entirely harmless Corona type-writer. Large quantities of books were taken and these the authorities have refused to return. Among the "revolutionary literature" seized are such works as Darwin's "Descent of Man and Origin of Species", Spencer's "First Principles, Data of Ethica", Smith's Wealth of Nations", Marx's Capital, and other classical works on economics, history, sociology and kindred sciences. It may be that the agents of the Department of Justice wish to implicate Herbert Spencer and Darwin and Marx in the Communist Party or indict them under the criminal syndicalist laws. The attorneys for the prisoners held for deportation have asked the gods of the Immigration Department to issue passports for the men held and their families, thus saving much inconvenience and delay. These men have all expressed their willingness to return to their native lands, many of them have applied for passports which have been refused. As it is they are confined in unsanitary jails and barracks. Many of them have families dependent upon them for support. If the government is sinere and has no ulterior motives in the matter, there can be no good reason for denying these men passports, and allow them to leave the country at their own expense. The Communists are attacked because it is alleged that their program advocates direct action and the destruction of the government. They are being raided and hunted not because they have committed any actual criminal act, but because they hold certain unpopular political opinions. We frankly admit that we do not agree with their contentions, but even though they are all that has been charged against them, the fact remains that there is no justification in the present persecutions. Let their political opinions be what they may, they are entitled at least to a fair and open trial in the courts of the land. As it stands now, the agents of the Department of Justice have assumed the duties of accuser and judge and jury. If this sort of thing is permitted to continue, no man who does not agree with Mr. Palmer's department is safe. These man are cold to use the peaceful means guaranteed to them by the Constitution. But this means of political expression is denied as shown by the refusal of Congress to seat a regularly elected Congressman from Wisconsin. In New York the Legislature refused to seat several men elected by socialists. A former judge of the Supreme Court, Charles E. Hughes, in a letter to the Speaker of the New York Assembly, called attention to this and well said that if such methods were persuaded then the people would have no recourse by peaceful means and would be compelled to resort to violence. We can agree with him when he says that those who foster such actions are the real enemies of the government. Politicians who are intoxicated with ursured power represent the foremost lawless element in this country to-day. MAY PASS ANTI- LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives is considering three bills which would make lynching a federal offense. Captain Arthur B. Singam and James Weldon Johnson, representing the Association, as well as William Monroe Trotter of the Equal Rights League, argued for the bill at a hearing in Washington on January 29. Colored Americans throughout the United States are urged to write to Andrew J. Volstead, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D. C., endorsing the proposed legislation. DR. S. C.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTE: 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. CONSTRUCTIVE JOURNALISM The newspapers are truly the mouthpieces of the races, groups, clans and classes. They are the mediums of current happenings, current sentiments. They herald the affairs of the people. It is a matter of common knowledge that newspapers are the sources of more liberal educations than all of the universities combined. We have in our race only about 7,500 college graduates. We have uncounted educated individuals upon whom the world has fixed its O. K. These individuals have been lettered and tutored by books, periodicals, magazines and newspapers. The newspaper occupies a unique and indispensable position among our people. Opinions rot and decay, ideas become rusty, history oblivious and progress checked if newspapers do not carry their messages and give the people food for thought. THIS RACE OF OURS IS NOW at the CROSS-ROADS. "The DESTINY THAT WILL SHAPE OUR ENDS," Is BEFORE US. IF THE RACE IS TO TRAVEL ALONG THE ROAD OF CONSTRUCTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE EVOLUTION, THE VOICE OF THE NEWSPAPER MUST DIRECT THE PILGRIMAGE, MARSHALL THE VANGUARD AND KEEP THE PEOPLE INFORMED ON THE ISSUES THAT CONCERN THEM VITALLY. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE NEWSPAPERS TO SEIZE WITH INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING AND SERIOUS CONCERN THE VITAL ISSUES OF THE DAY. IN 1863 there were only two colored newspapers, only one of these is now being published, THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER. Never-the-less, we have now 472 newspapers and periodicals, classified as follows: Religious, 70; School periodicals, 85; Organs of Associations, and Magazines, 35; Newspapers, 222. WITH 12 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WITHIN OUR RACE, IT WORKS OUT THAT WE HAVE ONLY ONE PUBLICATION FOR EVERY 25,000. MAKING A FIFTY PERCENT DEDUCTION FOR ILLITERACY, WE FIND THAT WE HAVE ONLY ONE PUBLICATION FOR EVERY 12,500 READERS. This appaulling state of facts proves to every open thinker that every colored newspaper should be a medium of high intelligence with diffussed information on all matters that concern the race. The newspapers of our race are being held under constant and continual scrutiny by the Government officials. They are arduously and assiduously read by both race haters and race friends, and the unbiased white man or foreigner is compelled to appraise the race values according to the intrinsic merit of race periodicals. These race papers are sent all over the world, and place before the judgement of mylads of people. THEREFORE IT IS ENCUMBENT UPON ALL EDITORS TO DISSOLVE ALL COMPROMISE THAT HAVE SUBSIDIZED THEIR PUBLICATION. It is further encumbent upon them to sever all quasi-political connections and questionable financial relationships. It behooves all editors to consider all issues that effect the race only after intelligent research and fact finding has been made. It is regrettable that some of our papers are made the object of ridicule and disgust; it is regrettable that some of our papers have no editorials and no opinions on current race issues; it is regrettable that some of our papers have collected a lot of junk and handed it broadcast to the world. It is regrettable that ignorance hurks behind the trenchant pen of a large degree of our editors. It grievs us to realize use pen and ink thought; it grievs us that some of our editors have sold us out and avoided important questions because they were paid to "lay off". It is disgusting to us to discover that men have ventured into the newspaper world with base ignorance and without fundamental knowledge of their huge task. Regret, grief and disgust will not change this condition of affairs. It will take the infusion of new courage, a broader vision, healthier thinking and more intelligent editors in order to make our newspapers truly constructive. THE CHICAGO WHIP THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO PAST AND PRESENT WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL Cassius King, is without dispute the oldest living settler in Chicago identified with the colored race, he was born on the Northwest corner of Madison and Wells Street, (Formerly 5th Ave. and Madison) at the time of his birth in 1846 this territory was considered to be the Suburbs of Chicago, and the houses consisted of a number of small frame shacks. He is the son of H. D. and Diza King, his father was a native of Washington D. C., his mothers birthplace was given as the State of Tennessee. For many years his father followed the barber trade and was successfully engaged in this line of business until his death about 1884. His mother died about 1870. Cassius King, was one of the most remarkable characters of his day and was considered to be a very clever student of human nature and he utilized this gift to good advantage in connection with his management of various clubs. He was educated at the "Old Jones School" which was situated at the Northwest corner of Clark and Harrison Streets, on the side now occupied by the Rand McNally & Co. building, after the Chicago Fire the Jones School was moved to its present site on the S. E. corner of Harrison and Plymouth Place, formerly 3rd Ave. In reference to the location of the "Old Jones School" Mr. King, gives the following reminiscence: "The Southwest corner of Harrison and Clark Street was occupied by a grist mill owned and operated by a colored man by name of Henry O. Wagoner, who specialized in "Hominy and Grits". Many times in my younger days I was called upon to shoulder a sack and go to Wagoners Mill for our supply of cereals. Mr. Wagoner, operated this mill from 1857 to about 1862, as I remember he was a native of Old Virginia and migrated from Chicago to some place in Iowa. My father and other male relatives were connected with the "Underground Railway" and actively identified with this movement until the close of the civil war. I had three uncles who became famous thru their connections with the movement, their names were John Jones, Lewis Isabelle, and Henry Bradford. John Jones, was a close friend and confident of Wendell Phillips and John Brown. Wendell Phillips oftimes came in the tailorshop of Mr. Jones, and together they would formulate many plans which were later executed to the betterment of the colored race. John Brown always made his home at my uncles house (John Jones) whenever he came to Chicago, and the last visit he made to Kansas before he was captured and hung at Martins Ferry. he was our guest. During this last visit he said to Mr. Jones: "John take what ever spare money that you have and lay in a supply of tea, coffee, sugar, and such other necessities that your table may call for as you may find them hard to get after I leave Kansas for I am going to start something that will make these articles NEW PARTY TO PROTECT RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF AMERICANS. Labor union circles are discussing the use of the general strike as a protest againstst the expulsion of the five Socialists, if the New York Assembly is idiotic enough to go that far. The politicians who hatched this attack upon the right of representation certainly have small brains and small loyalty to the Constitution of the United States and to our American spirit and institutions. Still, a strike is not the way to correct this wrong. The way to correct is to start a new party, a Constitutional party, a party that believes in American institutions, that respects the laws, that reverences the Declaration of Independence and the guarantees of the Constitution; That stands honestly and sincerely for liberty and democracy, the thing we fought for abroad and are endeavoring to destroy here at home. A party which is a conservative party in the highest sense in its desire and determination to conserve the spirit and the letter of our Declaration of Independence, of our Constitutional Bill of Rights, and of the examples and injunctions of all our great Presidents and public men up to the time of the present administration; scaree". Well, you know the answer — shortly after he started the movement that resulted in the bringing on of the Great Civil War, and freeing of the slaves. John Jones was from Alton, Illinois, and was undoubtedly the greatest colored man of this or any day. There was another great character that this generation knows nothing about — Isreal Bunch. Isreal Bunch, owned and operated the largest teaming and tranfer business in the City. I do not mean the largest operated by a colored man but the largest operated by any concern. His residence and barns were located on Monroe Street, West of State, and on the property now known as the Majestic Theatre; this property was owned by the City of Chicago. Isreal Bunch, held a long-term lease which after his death was sold by his wife who bought a home out on South State Street, near 29th Street, Mr. Bunch had his home — a brick house. — built on the . . . front lot with his barns in the rear. I think that he died about 1866. After leaving the till shop of my Uncle I became identified with the Club business and until most recent years I made the management of clubs my life work. I started under John Shaw, who was Steward of the Illinois Club, as his assistant. Shaw later recommended me for the Stewardship of the Lincoln, LaSalle, Sheridan, and Menokin Clubs. I always made it a practice to give my employers the best that was in me and made it a rule to select only competent men for the different departments and treated them with the consideration due an honest employee. When I entered the business I knew very little about decoration of tables and etc., but I selected men for my staff that knew the business from end to end. Many of my former employees entered business and in the majority of cases made good. The author is pleased to note that at one period of his life he had the distinction of being in the employ of Mr. King, who was then Steward of the LaSalle Club, located at 542 West Moaroe Street, (old number) and from experiences knows that Mr. King, stood unique among men employed in a similar capacity. The club membership of those days was made up of Chicago's most exclusive business men — and the thing that impressed itself most upon my boyish mind was that those men in addressing the club steward always addressed him as "Mr. King." I later found that this was prompted by the great esteem in which the individual was held for he never allowed his position to make him become unduely familiar with those of whom he came in contact. Cassius King, is still native and is employed in one of our busy downtown stores located near the corner of Monroe and Clark Street. The contact I had with him in the early days of my manhood has served me in great stead as many small favors gained by me were done so thus copying the principles of Mr. Cassius King.

A party which is opposed to revolution — to either the revolution of radicalism or the revolution of reaction; A party which is not willing to deliver the government into the hands of extremists of poverty and ignorance of wealth and selfishness; A party which believes in continuing the principles and the high purposes, the plans and policies, the means and methods, the republican forms and democratic fundamentals which have made this country the greatest country in the world, the most prosperous country in the world, the freest country in the world, until the ranting "reds" of radicalism and the sordid communists of wealth and privilege started out to undermine our government and destroy our democracy, each class with its batch of stupid, selfish, Of the two classes, the communists of wealth and privilege are the more dangerous because they are one more powerful and because their lawlessness breeds lawlessness in nearly every other class. If we are going to deport the men who stand on soap boxes and preach anarchy, we ought to deport some high financiers and some subservient politicians whose illegal, unconstitutional, un-American acts CREATE anarchy and ARE anarchy. WHERE IS AMERICA NOW? (An Editorial by Edwin O. Grover.) Where is America now? Your America? My America? The land of unselfish ideals; the land of representative government; the land of democracy? A year ago the heart of America throbbed to the sorrow of the world and she gladly gave her food, her gold, herself for the cause of humanity. A year ago her sons were dying in the far corners of the earth for human peace. A year ago the Stars and Stripes was the symbol of all our hopes, and the hopes of all the world. A year ago the voice of America spoke from the White House and all the world listened and believed. A year ago the thought and will of America was translated into heroic action by her representatives in congress. Where is America now? Gone are the unselfish ideals for which she fought, and in their place selfishness and petty strife. If this country is to remain a republic, the next Ark that sails should contain a proportion of corrupt privilege seekers and crooked politicians. If we are to preserve our democracy, maintain our Americanism, guard our liberties and restore respect to the Constitution and all our American institutions, we should start a truly American party, a truly democratic party, a truly republican party, for both of the old parties have lost their democracy, lost their republicanism, lost their Americanism, and are nothing but shells that shelter the hermit-crabs of wealth and privilege, nests that hatch the cuckoo's eggs of tyranny.

Gone is the spirit of brotherhood that made men of all races, all creeds and all classes glad to fight side by side for their common ideals, and lie side by side in common graves, and in its place sits nthroned the spirit of selfishness, the "I should worry" of the slacker. Where is America now? Her ideals, her prestige, her flag hands at half mast in the eyes of all the world; her usefulness lessened; her helping hand palsied; her professions doubted; her motives misunderstood, while the world waits and starves and wonders! And this because she has lost her spokesman and her moral leader, who prefers to isolate and discredit America in the eyes of the whole world rather than share with congress the treaty-making power of the government; and also because there sits in congress a group of self-willed, small-minded and partisan men who misrepresent the thought and heart of PLAYING SQUARE The best thing which we do today Is not expressed in cash. Nor in the gain we turn our way Because we hold the lash. There is a thing a man can do, Unconscious, perhaps. Which rolls up big the revenue; Be square with other chaps.

Silent for lack of a spokesman; powerless for lack of a leader, she waits the man of vision who will again speak her thoughts and lead her to glorious deeds. How long will she be silent? How long will she let personal stubbornness and selfish partisanship misrepresent her and make her a byword among the nations? How long before she will find her voice in some great leader who has seen the Holy Grail of Human Brotherhood and who can lead her to take again her high, unselfish place among the brotherhood of nations. Where is America now? North, south, east, west—deep down among the common people the heart of America beats true, loyal to her old ideals, eager to take her place among the brotherhood of nations and fight for right in times of peace even as in times of war; self-reliant, independent, unafraid, yet eager to "do her bit" wherever the great cause calls. The Galahad of nations, the white republic, the hope of humanity! Oh, where is America now? SUCCESS The weakest spot in reaching the goal of success, is the lack of Service to the Buying Public. The only way to gain is to locate your competition's weakness in service giving and make this a big feature in your sales practice. The successful merchants realize that the good will of his customers is sacred and maintained by serving him well, promptly, honestly and courageously. Let the customer point out the service he desires and then supply his demands. If a merchant looses one customer a week that would show an alarming decrease in his sales, at the end of the year.
