WHITE SLAYER GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER DEATH MESSAGE SENT TO RACE EXTRA Read This Week's "LASH" 27 Homes bombed WOMEN HYSTERICAL CHILDREN TERROR STICKEN MEN STRANGELY SILENT Vol. 2.—No. 8 DEAT 27 Homes WOMEN HYST CHILDREN TER MEN STRA 7 Homes Burned—Damage Runs Into Thousands of Dollars—Women Hysterical, Children Terror Stricken—Men Silent. The Colored prison of Chicago are turning to realize that the bombing burnings of the Homes are more empty and idle threats. Human is not considered and the municipal life of the Colored Citizens is at risk. The Bombs sound the death knell to Freedom and liberty. The important and hidden message to the once is "Get out or be killed", this is the death message. Homes Bombed. Since May 1918 27 homes have been bombed. These homes were in possession of Colored People of the highest type. Two deaths have resulted. Many have been forced into driving snow and bitter cold by the internal disaster of race enemies. A strong Anti Negro Association basks and revels in Hyde Park. They have by their violent propaganda proven that they are not above such tactics and since bombing and burning follow in the wake of their meetings, everybody except the police officials Westbrooks: IWillBeNext Alderman. WESTBROOK NEXT ALDERMAN. Latest Political Forecast. People's Candidate Confident. Atty. Richard E. Westbrook, who for two months has been carrying the banner of the United Political League to defeat ignorant boss-ruled politicjians for the Aldermanic honors in this ward says that he is confident that the people will use their best judgment at the polls on Tuesday and send Bob Jackson back to the Post Office where he belongs. Represents New Crowd. Atty. Westbrook is considered one of the ablest Lawyers of this city without regard to race. He is a natural fighter, uncompromising with justice, he belongs to the young intelligent regime, who not only have permination but intelligence sufficient to get things done. He does not believe that all of the old leaders are books by nature but that they suffer from the slave psychology, which serves to make them spineless and believe them to be mixed up in the sabotage. One Man Arrested Out on Bond. The city has only been able to catch one suspect and he is out on $500 bond. Thiggy-six radicals who had "threatened" violence were caught in a two-day drag net. Yet for 6 months not one of these violent anarchists and fire bugs can be caught. The bombers have even had nerve to warn their visitors over the phone. All of the colored people who have been intimidated are those living in white districts, and the cause is clear. Mavor Thompson Silent. The Mayor whom the city papers declared was elected by the Colored people has been skillfully, silent and the people are beginning to doubt his position in the Race question. Men of Race Afraid. The men of the Rice have only held indignation meetings and drawn up resolutions and petitions and made petty speeches. The Bomb Warriors are meeting no resistance either from the law or the besieged colored people. The people's nerves are on edge and they wonder who will be bombed next Black Star Line Ship Gets Away. Yarmouth Sails for Havana With Precious Freight. New York, Feb. 12.—The Black Star Steamship Yarmouth sailed today for Havana with a Negro cap and crew, 34 negro passengers and a cargo of liquor valued at $4,800, 000 comprising 21,419 cases of Kentucky Whiskey, 500 cases of Champagne and 350 barrels of wine. This was the vessels second departure for Havana with almost the same cargo. She staggered out of port the day prohibition became effective, but had such a heavy load she got into trouble in the storm off the New Jersey coast and had to return, after dropping 500 cases overboard. Since then the disgrace of small lots of the cargo caused federal authorities to keep ten prohibition agents aboard at the cost of $100 a day. A few hours prior to her departure a white was arrested while leaving the boat with a quart of whiskey. unmanly. He / lieves that the hope of the race is in the young men of today. He has faith in his people and believes if their case is presented intelligently that the better class of white people will have more respect for the race politically and economically. Hundreds Volunteer Services. The most striking feature of the campaign is the many applications that are received every year from hundreds of citizens, why are anxious to see the race and the community represented by its best boss. And also to stop forever the advance of the "me too Boss, hat in hand" misleaders. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21st, 1920 Why Colored People Don't Organize CONTINUED FROM LAST ISS By Andrew Holmes, Secretary-Treasurer of Local No. 20. (4) BECAUSE OF UNEXPLAINED INJURIES FROM ORGANIZED LABOR CIRCLES. In the previous issue we touched on the matter of the Stockyards Union's attitude towards its colored membership, during the greatest crisis the city has ever passed through. We showed at considerable length just what part was played by the International, and also by the Stockyards Labor Council; and we made mention of the fact that these two factions had severed relationship. They are now actively opposing each other in every respect. The fact is that the two factions had entertained different convictions, as to methods of organization had placed them in such spirit of antagonism that even the great race riot failed to have any tendency towards reconciliation; hence we noted the International representatives as disappearing during the height of the disorder leaving the colored members to their fate, while the local central body, the Stockyards Labor Council, put forth very effort to adjust matters to the advantage of its members; but we not concerned to any great extent about the colored workers who well not members of the union. Before passing over this phase of the subject we may as well mention the fact that during the early part of last Spring when men and women were "laid from their jobs in the various packing plants, many who were members of the union found themselves unable to readily find employment elsewhere and as a result were in need of financial assistance. As the International union's treasury was in a prosperous condition, the writer approached the International Secretary-Treasurer and proposed that the organization do some relief work among its colored membership, as their contributions were a part of its resources. This suggestion was completely ignored by that official, yet on his recommendation a salary of more than two hundred dollars ($200.00) was being paid monthly to two (2) individuals, who were employed in a line not directly connected with the organization. One of these individuals has never worked a day in the yards within the writer's knowledge, but the International officers thought those two persons to be influential and thought the money of all the workers spent to a better advantage when used to incur the favor of a few big "Is" than when spent to relieve the actual forced suffering of those who paid it in. Such political propaganda, neglecting the welfare of the rank and file, and making favorites of a few picked individuals who were supposed to influence the massess—this on the part of the International, has been the basis of many disputes between that body and the Stockyards Labor Council, and accelerated the arrival of the day when the final rupture came and the factual fight began. Continued on page 6. DAVIDSON BROS. OPEN WONDERFUL STORE Saturday, February 21st will be a gala day in the history of the colored people in this vicinity. Part of the race have longed for a time and waited for some of the race to enter into the field of big business in a manner that in every way would equal the best in the field regardless of color. The enterprise of these successful business men have Dr. George E. Davidson made this dream come true and when the doors of this modern and up-to-date drug store is opened on Saturday, a new mile stone in the business progress of the race will have been reached. Dr. George F. Davidson and his brother, Charles E. Davidson have for years satisfied a large trade at their store at 39th and Dearborn Streets and their new venture is backed by both years of experience as well as extensive credit and capital. Thousands To Attend Opening. The doors of the new store at 39th and State Streets will be opened to the public on Saturday. Indications show, that a record breaking crowd will visit the store on this day. In view of the fact that it is exceedingly difficult for colored men to obtain first class business locations, these two race men are to be congratulated in securing this location. Store a Real Paradise. The fixtures of the store are of solid mahogany and a wonderful soda fountain occupies a large space in order to accommodate the large patronage expected for liquid refreshment and light lunches. Every modern, sanitary convenience has been installed for the comfort of patrons. Mahogany booths with leather cushions, artistic decorations give the place an air that shows nothing has been stinted in order that the people of the southside might have a first class place. Effort Will Inspire Others. The success of these pioneers will serve as an inspiration to others. This expression is found in the conversations of business men in other lines. SLAYER OF COLORED HACKMAN CONVICTED Tried For Murder Five Times. His First Conviction Jacksonville Jury Brings in Verdict of Guilty Against Murderer of Colored Hackman. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 20. — Manslaughter was the verdict of the circuit court jury, Judge immons presiding, in the case of Joes Anglin (white) charged with murder in the first degree in connection with the shooting and killing of Charles Jones, a colored hackman, on Adams street, near Da... on the afternoon of December 12. The maximum penalty for manslaughter is 20 years in the penitentiary. There is no fixed minimum, so the sentence imposed may be anywhere up to 20 years. Anglin claimed he killed Jones in self-defense. He admitted to firing three bullets into his body, but declared that he could not remember all the shots that were fired. The post mortem showed that four bullets generated Jones' body. A fifth bullet lodged in the back. Anglin went to trial with a black record behind him. He killed two men in Mississippi, getting a life sentence in one case. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the other case while the jury was out deliberating. He was pardoned by former Governor Vardaman. On the stand in court yesterday he said that when he left Jackson, Miss., he went to Atlanta, and from there came to Jacksonville, and that he had been here about three years. Since he has been here he has been tried three times for murder. Early last year he was arrested in connection with the killing of two Syrians, was tried and acquitted by a jury on both charges. This was the fifth time he had been tried for his life. A CHINESE LEADS IN THE BOLSHEVIKS. Chinese Ex-Barber One of Arch Bosses of Bolshevist Russia. Berlin, Feb. 15.—The Severity of Ipak Yen, Mongolian, has made him one of powers of Russia. Confident of Lenine and Trotzky, the one concilating element in the whirlpool of Russian Graft and plotting, he has, thanks to his oriental origin, raised himself in ten years from a barber to a statesman. Ipak Yen was scraping China in Manchuria when he was captured as a spy. Being totally innocent he yet pleaded guilty and under the pretext of inside knowledge of Japanese affairs insinuated himself in to the grace of Trotzky. From that time on his power has grown. He has three automobiles, 30,000 rubles, five wives and lives in the Kremlin, the most magnificent palace in Russia. He controls the foreign policy of Russia. He is quick, resourceful, suave, a natural associate for Lenin, and he is not a bolshevick,—only a Chinaman. Chinamen are never anything but just Chinamen. Japanese have found cement mortar mixed with volcanic ashes valuable for work that is submerged in sea water. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. TROOPS PATROL STREETS NO RECURRENCE OF RIOT SLAYER GIRL INSANE Run on Lincoln Bank Unwarranted Lexington, Ky., February 20.—No lessening of military precautions to prevent a recurrence of mob violence in Lexington was apparent today. Federal soldiers continued to surround the Fayette courthouse where Will Lockett, negro, slayer of 10-years-old Geneva Hardman and center of the disturbance Monday, in which five persons lost their lives, was confined under heavy guard. Patrols guarded every avenue to the city and detachments still were stationed in the warehouse district. Brigadier General F. C. Marshall characterized these messes as P. No satisfied was he in the situation that after a conference with Major Gen. Charles P. Sumerall, commander of the First division, who arrived during the day, he announced the number of patrol gradually would be withdrawn, and that one brigade, or approximately one-half of the troops here, would entrain for Louisville, probably tonight. Lockett, heavily guarded, remained in his cell in the courthouse. General Marshall announced that the federal government had no authority to take him out of Fayette county, now under martial law, unless Governor Edwin P. Morrow requested it. — General Marshall paid a tribute to the people of Lexington and Fayette county for their ready submission to martial law and characterized it as "the first evidence of a briquet in the whole country which is beginning to switch back from bolshevism to law and order." Bank Has Plenty of Money. A run on the Lincoln State Bank of Chicago lasting for several days has been in evidence. The run it is claimed by leading citizens was caused by leading citizens was a certain newspaper and other dissatisfied individuals. The bank is solvent and has plenty of resources. The Lincoln officials have done more for this colored community than the Franklin State Bank and other institutions. They are compelled to depend on some institution to float their mortgages and protect their interests. The Lincoln Bank according to record has done more than any other institution. Snap judgment and financial hysteria has overcome the sober reasoning of the depositors and their action will work against their own interests. Mississippi Chinese Kids Can't Attend White School. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 17.—Attorney General Frank Roberson ruled today that Chinese children in Mississippi cannot attend schools with white children. PRICE FIVE CENTS RACE OL STREETS NCE OF RIOT GIRL INSANE Citizens, both black and white walked the streets unmolested night, except that each impartial was searched for weapons who they entered the restricted district the vicinity of the court. Two civilians were the day. One engaged other was charged concealed weapon. Reports last night traineers were en route to Lynch Lockett cause ing officer to throw down a gun every roi the city mentions at every the city. No attempt will be made by authorities to remove Lockett from the steel cage in the courthouse under danger of further violence is pass it was announced. "I don't know why I did it," negro is quoted as having said in course of a statement prepared submission to the jury which coned him yesterday. Lockett the himself on the mercy of the eo. Only one witness, a neighbor of the dead girl's father, was placed on the stand by the state. The witness indentified the stone with which the girl's head had been crushed. The jurymen returned their verdict without leaving their seats. Commonwealth's Attorney John R. Allen stated that no prosecution of members of the mob was contemplated by the authorities. Lincoln Bank granted Hyde Park Gang At Work. It is claimed by several people of authority that the Hyde Park property enemies of the race have added fuel to flames and have stirred up feeling against the Bank. These enemies have played upon the sentiments and distrust of poor people and have caused them to draw out their money thereby losing the interest and the protection afforded by the bank. Pickpockets Fleece Poor Misguided People. Poor people who have drawn their meagre earnings out have been made the target of crocks and pickpockets who have stolen the Life Savings of many. It is it hoped that the calm judgment of all good South Siders will lead them to stop the run and play fair with the bank. ```markdown ``` By Keen Observer. CONVICT IS KILLED. CONVICY IS KILLED. Dublin, Ga., February 21.—Special).—A negro convict on the Laurens county road gang was killed this afternoon about 5 o'clock when he jumped from a truck into Sandy Ford creek, five miles from Dublin. Reports of the accident coming to Dublin were that the Negro was on an automobile truck which was hauling water from the creek to the camp nearby. Under The Lash of The Whip Colored people are being bombed and burned, discriminated and lynched, yet every night the same giggling, silly, insipid faces can be seen sucking caberet "liquid" thru a straw and dancing away the time that should be used for organization and preparation. What should be done to wake the race up? Probably the politicians that protect the vicious institutions have a remedy. When will the young men of our race take an interest in their own future and cease running around, trying to "shark" every young lady that passes. The old, crooked, cowardly politicians that control the Second Ward certainly do fight dirty. They "snoop around" the offices of the white "bosses" and tell lies and playing Uncle Tom in order to get a little more "blood money." Who went down town last week from the People's Movement Club and lied about the NEW CROWD? The "Keen Observer" saw you and your henchman. Uncle Tom. One of those who professed to join the NEW CROWD has sold out! He did not have enough NERVE AND BACKBONE to stand on manhood principles. Traitor, Number One has been discovered. He is too insignificant to get publicity in this paper. Write for his name and history from Oscar De Priest. Shame on you! Shame on your selfishness! Shame on your ignorance! Shame on your lack of vision! Major Jackson, "The Fighting BOOB," said concerning the Harding Harmony Plan, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder." If God joined Louis Anderson, Fighting BOOB, Oscar DePriest and Ed. Wright together, the devil must either been asleep or in company with George Harding. The social standards of our society girls are something fierce. The "best producer" is generally the lucky dog. President Wilson says that if the Irish support the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations here in America, he will get them freedom over in Ireland. If the colored man supports the treaty and the League over here, will he give us freedom and liberty here? Figthing Boob Jackson, the Alderman or rather the "oughter be man" said in the Business Men's League Thursday night that they should start another newspaper in Chicago. Good idea, "Boob." The Whip will not sell out the race. Who's going to print that paper, Boob? The "management" of the Clarence Cameron White Recital for making "announcements" between the numbers of the artist. It really isn't done! We'll learn some day how to judge of "the awaits this kind of a thing right. The colored members of the "cod-fish aristocracy" who held them as right.

That snooping individual who thinks he can "ajust" the situation in Hyde Park to the satisfaction of all parties concerned mostly about how many dollars you will be able to hold out. From Slavery to Wealth One of the distinguished race men in attendance to the Lincoln League organizations was Scott Bond of Forest City Arkansas, who ranks among the wealthiest and came up from the lowest circumstances of our race. In his autobiography many incidents of the apparently impossible were bridged and a path hued from the depths to the top of success. Such men are inspiring what he did surley the men of today should be able to do. The Following is his latest trans action: Scott Bond Pays $145,000 For Farm. Forest City, Ark., Feb. 17. — Scott Bond of Madison, one of the wealthiest farmers of the race, purchased from Judge E. A. Rolfe, and Dr. O. N. Warren the Captain John Young estate, containing 900 acres, for $145,000. The place was formerly owned by J. W. Gorceen (white). "Colored Beecher Makes Address "Colored Henry Ward Beecher" Addresses Americanization Conference On "The Cure for Race Troubles and Riots." William Pickens, associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, known for his oratory as the "colored Henry Ward Beecher," was to address the Christian Americanization Conference in Philadelphia today (February 12). Mr. Pickens who won the Ten Eyck Oratorate prize for oratory from a class of 300 men at Yale University, recently resigned as Dean and Vice president of Morgan College in order to join the Advancement Association's staff. "The chief cause of race riots in the United States", said Mr. Pickens, "is the attitude of mind in the white public toward the Negro race. "As long as and intelligent and religious white man discriminates against the Negro race, regardless of Individual merit, the ignorant and irreligious white man will do the same — but that ignorant and irreligious white man will be coarser and more brutal in his dealings with the Negro "The politician in Washington attempts to lynch the Negro civilly and politically; the man at home in Texas attempts to lynch him with a rope. The one lynches him in soul, the other in body. If where the Negro is concerned, the senator respects no law, human or divine as one of them said, then the lynching of the Negro is the most logical thing in the country. "The better classes of both races must deliberately and consciously seek out co-operation and acquaintance with each other's aspirations, needs, worth. Interracial committees should exist wherever there is an appreciable number of colored people, to promote interracial —mity. And an organized effort to affect the race problem in any particular, must be along the lines of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, — that is it must consist of both white and colored men, deliberately pursuing this solution. Neither race can settle the matter alone. The white man has already failed in that method; the Negro need not try it. THE CHICAGO FATALLY STABBED IN ROW OVER TWO GENTS Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 15.—Believed to be fatally stabbed in the abdomen, with other slashes across the arms, Will Myrick, negro railroad section laborer, is now in the hospital as the result of a fight with John Roberts, member of the same gang, over two cents last night in a crap game Roberts is being sought by the officers. This incident is one of many of like deplorable cases that must be contended with. It is regrettable that the incident occurred and we print it only as an object lesson. It represents all that is evil and all that must surely be eradicated. THREE DEPUTIES GO TO OHIO AFTER COLORED MAN THREE DEPUTIES GO TO OHIO AFTER COLORED MAN Fleningsburg, Ky., Feb. 14.—The blood of the Southernners has been aroused again, this thin charge that shirks the light or reason. This community is up in arms and is demanding the life of Grant Smith, charged with attacking Ruby Anderson, daughter of Leonard Anderson, prominent farmer of Johnson Junction. Smith who has been in the employ of Anderson for some time is now in Ohio. The attack alleged to have occurred on February 10. Relatives of Smith received a letter from him postmarked Ohio on Feb. 3rd. How these two facts are to be reconciled is a delicate question, but one which is not worrying the Southerners. Two sheriff's left for Columbus, Ohio and other for Cincinnati yesterday with the avowed intention of bringing him back to appease the wrath of the whites. Interest is centered now on the Ohio's granting extradition papers. On the face of the evidence, colored citizens say it is highly unlikely that extradition will be granted. That the sheriff will invent some tale is highly probable but whether Ohio will be deceived is the question. The whites are bent on wrecking vengeance, their ire has been fanned into flames, by two things: first the news from Lexington and secondly the activities of a certain lawyer of that city, who in good old fashioned style addressed the Whites on street corners unrumming them against the Negroes. The city, indeed the whole country has been ominously sullen over the astonishing events that have occurred in Lexington. Threats of violence have been uttered against the colored population, have been uttered repeatedly, and it is believed that the linking of Smith with the attack on the white girl is merely a pretext for the outbreak of the Mob Spirit. SHOT IN QUARREL OVER SWEETHEART Negro Shot in Quarrel Over Sweetheart. Memphis, Tenn.—As the result of the rivalry between "Slim" Jackson and Frank Adams for the hand of Miss Elsie Newman. The later is in the hospital with a bullet lodged in his chest, while Slim is a fugitive. The rivalry has been between the two men for some time, but until Miss Newman began acting in favor of Adams, the relations of the two men had been amicable enough. "Slim's" night was Tuesday, Adam's was Thursday. Last Tuesday night Adams was seated in the parlor when "Slim" came, and what is worse sat tight. Slim expressed a desire to take the young lady to a show, but she expressed a desire to remain at home. Slim took exception to this and left in a huff. On Tuesday the two met in a restaurant at Georgia & Wellington Sts. Words developed into blows and into gun play. It seems that it was all off for Slim, for Miss Newman visited Adams in the hospital yesterday and treated him most tenderly. Slim not only faces jail, but defeated in love. Poor Slim. He'll say it's a cruel world. GERMAN PROFESSOR GIVES BACK HONORS. Meyer Says U. S. Rewards Are Detestable. By Wm. C. Dreher. Berlin, Feb. 12. — Prof. Edward Meyer, rector of Berlin University, who, on the day the list of Germans demanded for trial by the allies was published, issued a statement saying he had sent back to Harbard and English universities diplomas conferring on him the degree of doctor of divinity, after having torn them up, indicated in a card printed today that he intends to snub all Americans, English and French. The card addressed strongly to the pro-German Edward Emerson, who claims the title Threats of Lynching heard. of colonel. Col. Emerson has printed a card demonstrating with Professor Meyer on behalf of Harvard, because, he pointed out, the United States did not join in the demand for the surrender of the Germans, and ever in previous wars treated its vanquished foes magnanimously. "IRISH ROSE" TO RECEIVE $10,000 HEART BALM. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 12.—Amy O'Connor, the "Irish Rose", will receive $10,000 heart balm from her aged suitor, Allen Gray, the Evansville multimillionaire, whom she sued for $500,000, alleging that he had "stolen her soul." The jury's sealed verdict, opened in court today, assessed her damages at $10,000. The plaintiff's attorney declared the verdict paves way for a $100,000 suit against Gray's brother for alleged alienation of affection. AMERICAN WOULD CONTROL FRENCH TOBACCO MONOPOLY Paris, Feb. 19. — America has sounded France on the subject of the tobacco monopoly for this country being farmed out to the United States for 25 years, according to a report current on the bourse Monday, says the Journal. In exchange, the United States would guarantee, in one way or another, a sum totaling about 60,000,000,000 francs, says the newspaper, which prints the news with reserve. MURDER CONVICT PARDONED. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 19.—Gov. Brough today pardoned Oliver Rider, convicted of murder at Batesville recently. The petition filed with the governor stated that Rider was convicted on the testimony of an ex-convict, who is now serving a term in the Kansas penitentiary. Yep! Chatauquas 'll Soon Be Open. (Detroit Free Press.) And then again, a presidential boomlet is excellent advertising.

Now, that we have admitted that the Stockyards Labor Council engineered the affairs during the race riot, we must satisfy the curiosity of these persons who wish an explanation of the "walk-out" that occurred in the yards when the ocelored workers returned to work after the riot. The Stockyards Labor Council, in conjunction with the active colored membership, was exerting every effort to occasion the return of the colored union members to their places of employment, before a general call was issued from the packers for the return of all the colored workers. The moral effect of such a measure would have been far reaching in the waging of future organization campaigns. This was known not only by the Stockyards Labor Council and the colored union members on this side, but by the Packers themselves as well as our International office, but as we have noted the International office evaded the issue and all others by getting out of reach. The packers, however, got busy to hasten the return of all the colored members while the newspaper announcements, that the union was opposing its colored members, were fresh on the minds of the public. When the next conference was held by the Stockyards Labor Council and the colored union officials who lived on this side it was mutual-agreed that the colored union members be instructed not to return on the first day that colored workers returned. It was further agreed that when the colored workers did return (non-union and those union members who had failed to follow instructions) the stockyards Labor Council should pull out its membership, and endeavor in that way to suspend operations until some agreement could be formulated on trade union lines. All the instructions were carried out accordingly as planned and many non-union whites joined in the walk-out thinking it to be a race issue. The writer can, however, furnish abundant proof that the colored union men sanctioned and heartily approved the walk-out ordered by Attorney Frederici McKinney, prominently known St. Louis and Hannival, Mo. is now located with Attorney Farmer, Suite 708, 184 W.

Dear Friend: The burning of our church on January 28th brought common sorrow and grief to us all, and not all of us have yet recovered from the painful shock. But it is fine to see how quickly our people readjust themselves to a new situation even in the midst of a crisis. A new day has dawned upon us and a most glorious opportunity is now at hand. Next Sunday, February 15, the future and fate of our church will be decided. Hence, the pastor and officers are calling the entire membership together in extra ordinary business session at 11 o'clock next Sunday morning at 6359 Rhodes avenue to consider a proposition of very vital importance and to decide upon the destiny of our church. Every member and friend of the church is wanted at this special meeting and YOUR presence is urgently requested. This is a time of crisis in the life of our church and all loyal members and friends of Lincoln will come to her rescue in this crucial hour. A brief service will be held from 11 to 12 o'clock and the special business session will follow. We refuse to believe there are any "slackers" in our church, but if there be any—they will stay away from this meeting Sunday. This is the time to "throw away your hammer and blow your horn!" Let's all do it together! We are depending upon YOU and we know YOU WILL NOT FAIL us! With cordial greetings, we remain Faithfully yours, Mr. Lawrence has been visiting his sister, Miss Rhoygnette Webb, who has been ill of the "flu".

Eighth Regiment Ball Galaxy Affair. The Eight Regiment held its 17th Annual Ball at the Armory on Forest Ave. Thursday evening Feb. 12th. The affair was one of the finest the regiment has ever known, and too much credit can not be given Col. J. H. Patton for working it up. The Hall was beautifully decorated with red white and blue ribbons, and one was much impressed as you entered the hall at the magnificence and the people therein. To get a large crowd of people together and have them as orderly as they were on that occasion is worthy of comment. Everything went nicely and beautifully. All of the soldiers of the old school were out in their full dress and seemed to be fully enjoying the occasion. All eyes were on Col. James H. Johnson and Capt. W. T. Jefferson in their full dress and gay spirits. The Grand March was especially beautiful. Capt. Robert L. Chavis was in charge and much credit is due him. The March was lead by Col. Ottis B. Duncan and Miss Estella Arnold, followed by the rest of the regimental staff. The Red Cross Sanitary Drill Unit and Red Cross Canteen Unit were also in uniform. 8th REGIMENT NOTES. The 17th Annual Military Ball of the 8th Regiment was given at the Armory on February 12th. These Annual Balls were discontinued during the war, this being the first one since January, 1917. The Armory was prettily decorated and the booths of the Regimental Units, the Red Cross and the Lincoln League, in which little receptions were being continuously held during the evening, were profusely decorated with the National Colors. The Headquarter's Booth contained the Historic Battle Flags of the Regiment as well as the pictures of Governor Frank G.

The Whip investigates. In keeping with its well defined policy of getting at the root of WHAT A WHITE EDITOR THINKS. Encouragement of the Negro. It would be idle to deny that the American negro has serious grievances and special problems that challenge the attention of friends of justice and believers in the principle of equal opportunity. The solution of these problems will not be facilitated, of course, by the propaganda of race hatred. For that reason it is impossible to commend too highly the spirit of the convention of the Lincoln League of America, which has been in session in this city. Educaton and patience, rather than recrimination and denunciation, were the remedies earnestly favored by the speakers at this notable assembly of representatives of the negro race in this country.

RING CO., Dept. 205 CHICAGO OP BEST FOOD FOR BEST PEOPLE near Indiana Ave. LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF CHICAGO The Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ill., with home office at 3515 Indiana avenue, deserves more than passing notice from every intelligent colored man and woman. It stands out as the beginning of the true spirit that should characterize all colored enterprises, and that is, straightforwardness. It is an investment that should appeal to the most conservative people of our race, as the following brief analysis will show: In the last few years our leading banking houses, banks and other financial institutions have dominated and stabilized the insurance business, for the reason that it is regarded by them as the safest and most conservative of all investments. In no other line of business not excepting banking, do we find the laws governing their supervision, operation and control more rigid; in other words, provided the officers of the company are men who are capable and efficient, there reasonably seems but little chance of anything going wrong, and a knowledge of the personnel of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, beyond all reasonable doubt, leaves the impression that the company has nothing to fear, save unbounded success. The company is capitalized for $100,000, divided into 10,000 shares of a par value of $10 each. The shares are, however, being offered at $30 each. The high premium at which the shares are being sold may seem strange to the average investor, but a close review of the reason will undoubtedly lend more confidence to have settled down to a life of ease with the good will and admiration of seeking to his neighbors. But perhaps Jack birth. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins by Andrew Scott. Mr. Scott. did a very thriving business and catered chiefly to rail road men who had commenced to make this town their headquarters. The place became famous and was known from end to end of the country — Sunday dinner at Scott's was always looked forward to by the local residents. About 1859 Mr. Geo. M. Pullman, went West to Pikes Peak, Colorado, where he had purchased mining interests; he turned his Palace ear management over to his brother Alb. Pullman. Mr. Albert Pullman, was senior member of the firm of Pullman & Moore, House Movers. This firm performed what was considered to be a wonderful engineering feat for that day, that was — raising the old Treatment House and building one half a story underneath the part raised. Mr. George M. Pullman, made a large fortune in his mining venture and returned to Chicago and resumed his management of the palace car company, he also bought out the interest of his partner Mr. Fields, and commenced to develop on a large scale, and ultimately he acquired the monopoly of the business. In those days the porter raw in charge of his car and conductors were unknown. The Chicago and Alton, and two branches of the Northwestern Railway, were the only lines that was handled by the Pullman Palace Car company, and the first sleepers and dining cars were operated on the Chicago and Alton railway. Mr. Allen Hawley, is succeeded by two sons George and David. George is manager for Morris & Company, caterers, and David is in the U. Postal Service, registry division where he has been employed thirty years, both George and David are among the most popular colored men on this section of the country and are known from coast to coast. Hr. Hawley senior is still active and says that his recipe for good health has been that of hard work, or in his language — "hard work has never killed anyone but bad whiskey fills grave yards as fast as you can build them." Mr. Hawley, and his sons George and David, have always been active in many clubs and lodges — as well as all associations that operated for the uplift of the race, and like all pioneer colored man, they have done only those things that would reflect the greatest credit to the community as well as the group with which they were identified. Child Was Hunting Rabbit — Gun Accidentally Fires. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 19.—Paul Reiley, 10-year-old son of John Reiley, was instantly killed this afternoon when a rifle with which he was hunting rabbits was accidentally discharged. Capital Stock. Mr. Allen Hawley, 5234 Dearborn Streets, was born in Bellefontain, O., je 1828, his parents Benjamin and Martha Hawley, both natives of North Carolina. Shortly after the birth of Allen Hawley, the father moved the family to Cass County, Michigan, and located on a farm that be harp purified near Calvin. Mr. Allen Hawley when he came to Chicago and obtained a position as bell boy at the Old Richmond House; while employed in the capacity of bell boy Mr. Hawley oftimes came in contact with the martyred President Abraham Lineol. At that time Mr. Lineoln was a close friend of Judge Baker, and together they would hold conference at the hotel and during these occasions. Mr. Hawley, was called upon to give them personal attention. Mr. Hawley, says that period Mr. Lineoln, started his campaign at the "Wigwam" which was a large building on Randolph Street, between Market and Franklin Streets, and built expressly for hold large conventions of that date. "After leaving the old Richmond House I went to rail-reading and was one of the three or four men in the employee of what is now known as the Pullman Company; at that time the concern was known as Field and Pullman, and the first car operated by them was built in the Bloomington shops of the Chicago and Alton railway, this car was known as car "A" and was operated by George Laury, a colored man native of Elmira, New York. Mr. Field, was in no way related to the late Marshall Field. The car operated by me was not one of the toulouse cars but as a rebuilt coach know as car number thirty; I operated this car between Chicago and St. Louis, and oftimes had Mr. Lincoln for a passenger. About 1859, I decided to try business for myself and opened a grocery store at 137 33d Avenue; in this venture I was not successful and decided to return to rail-routing. I was not the first colored man to operate a grocery in Chicago as Rey. Richard De Baptist, antidated me by about two years. De Baptist's store was located on 4th Avenue (Federal Str.), he was the pastor of Olivet Baptist Church which was located on the site w occupied by Dearborn Station. Jr. De Baptist, was successfull in the grocery business and continued for a great many years. John Jones, the tailor was then located in the old Garret Block, on Randolph Street, and part of the present site of Marshall Field & Co. Where the Palmer House now stands was a blacksmith snap which was owned by a colored man. The first colored boarding house was located on Clark Street, and what is now known as Jackson Blvd., or the present site of the Grand Pacific Hotel, this place was first operated by a man named Dorsey, then it was taken over by Willis Black, and later during the Civil War was operated Any race, incorporated but taking no responsible part in citizenship, is a dangerous element. Any people from whom rights are withheld or on whom inabilities are imposed are likely to give trouble in proportion as they approach the ideals and the intelligence of the ruling class. That there should be any ruling or dependent class is incompatible with democracy. For anything that breaks the solidarity of community life, or weakens in any degree its program of good will to all of its citizens, impels the hope of democratic ideals. The South, therefore, faces a grave situation—a situation in which there is no hope of adjustment except on grounds that are fair and just and generous and in which all take part. No partisan bitterness, no sectional bias, no racial prejudice, no selfish insolence may enter into this larger hope. A general friendliness must take the place of racial and industrial antipathies. All citizens must be given the privilege of rising to their full height as human beings. Intelligence must dominate public sentiment and a kindlier religion rule in the minds of men. There is no hope for the South if the Negro, one third of the population, is to remain undeveloped and inefficient. Every injustice to the Negro is an injury to the white man and imperils the best interests of the National life. If the Negro is to live among us, then we must give him a chance and an equal chance with all others, not by handing things down to him but by helping him to get up; not by working for him but with him, not by tips and charity but by a fair wage, just treatment, and proper recognition of his worth.

It is not likely another mob will test the nerve and resolution of the present governor of Kentucky. Twice Edwin P. Morrow has whipped the enemies of law and order in the last week; twice he has demonstrated that even a confessed negro murderer, guilty of the most abominable crime, has the right to be dealt with by that "due process" for which the constitutions of state and nation provide. The second demonstration was at the price of blood, but it was worth the price. We credit the vindication of law in Kentucky to Gov. Morrow because it was his personal insistence upon meeting the mob at every point of danger with effective force which defeated the determined effort of the lynchers. The state which is fortunate enough to have a governor with courage and sense of responsibility will find his spirit moving in his subordinates. It will quicken the officers of the law. The state where mob rule is a frequent phase of life, where the storming of jails and lynching of prisoners are common occurrences, is a state with a weak chief executive. From his weakness those in lesser office take their cue, and from his weakness the mob derives its encouragement. Gov. Morrow has done a service to the nation as well as to the state. We need such proof as he has given that the most despicable criminal is entitled to and will obtain justice under the law; and that no group of citizens, however respectable or whatever their provocation, may take the law into their own hands so long as it is being executed faithfully by the constituted authorities.

Williams Hampton, Va., Feb. 19. — The Hampton Institute basketball quintet defeated Lincoln University at Hampton, on Saurday, February 14, by a score of 28 to 15 in the first of their annual games. This victory was "sweet revenge" to the student body, as Lincoln won last year. The game was hard fought from beginning to nd. Hampton scored first and kept the lead throughout. Clean playing and good sportsmanship characterized the contest. The playing of Wheatland for Lincoln, and McLaren, Jater, and Jones for Hampton were the features of the game. Line-up: Hampton—McLaren and Freeman, forwards; Bradby, center; Jones and Jeter, guards; substitutions, Wright Owl and Paxton. Lincoln—Goldwise and Amos, forwards; Wheatland, center; Boozer and Haskell, guards. Referee—H. B. Skinner. Scorers—E. P. Lovett and N. J. Hill. Time of halves—20 minutes.

Ex-President of Alpha Phi Alpha Dead. Ex-President of Alpha Phi Alpha Dead. DANIEL D. FOWLER HAS "PASSED OVER" From The Cleveland Advocate. Daniel D. Fowler, aged 27, president of The Dixilene Co. and exnational president of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, passed away at his residence, 2233 E. 90th street, after nine days' illness of pneumonia. Deceased is a son of Mrs. Capitola Fowler, and brother of Dennis H. Fowler. He was a young man of scholarly attainments, having graduated from Case School of Applied Science with the degree of B. Sc. (summa cum laude) in metallurgy, and was until his death employed as metallurgist at the Standard Car Wheel Co. His life was so crowded with activities that it is impossible in this brief notice to enumerate them, but he lived his life to the fullest, doing the best as he saw it. Early in the life of THE ADVOCATE he was a member of the staff and won for himself esteem and appreciation from its management. He was an ardent worker in St. John's A. M. E. church, having taught a class in the Sunday school for a number of years. A great deal of his time recently had been devoted to the upbuilding of the Dixilene Co., which he formed some time ago, and to the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, to which he gave immeasurable service as national president in 1919. A few months ago he suffered a nervous breakdown, from which he never completely recovered; added to this the grief at the death of his sister only a few days ago, and the effects of dreaded pneumonia, he could not withstand the strain. 'Dan', as the writer familiarly called him, was a "prince" among fellows — if this colloquial expression may be used. All the medical skill under the direction of Dr. O. A. Taylor, could do did not save the young jewel of a man. His time had come. Funeral services were to be held at his late residence Friday at 2 p. m. Members of the Alpha Phi local chapter were to be palbearers. A fuller account will appear in next issue. thing of it "He didn Mr. Fowler attended the Fraternity 'em.

The Church Triumphant, the Church Conservative, the Church Militant. The work of the Church, its wonderful influence, its far reaching power has ingrained itself into the political, economical and social strata of the race. It operates as the great dilemamo and generator of all race activities, whether we be Padical or conservative. Intellectual honesty forces us to recognize that the church will be the leverage by which the race will be lifted out of the present maelstrom. The cynics, stoics and iconoclasts may discredit the church, may ridicule the philosophy of religion and may even scorn the ministers and villify their personal and private lives. Yet over and above all latent and potent defects stand in transcendant glory and splendor the "undisputable verities," the transcendant monuments, the magnificent edifices that speak in still and sober voices, of power, strength, and allied energy.

(S) Because of certain Actual Race Discrimination by Labor Organizations. Many colored workers are adverse to becoming members of a union because of the knowledge they possess of actual discrimination against colored workers. This is the policy of quite a few International Unions in affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. We understand that a similar policy was followed out to a certain extent by the American Federation of Labor itself for many years until quite recently (The New Jersey convention in 1918) when the barriers of racial restriction were thrown down unqualifiedly. The writer entertains serious doubts if there is any more logical reason existing for non-participation in labor circles altogether, because of this great wrong in certain instances, than there is in the doctrine of advocating that because of disfranchisement in South Carolina the colored citizens in Chicago should refrain from voting. The way to correct this evil is no exception to the general rule for such, that the entrance should be forced by the injured where ever that is possible, and the fight once carried to the inside be forced continually and without quarter. More pressure can be exerted by gaining a vantage point and fighting against the evils than by remaining outside and howling about such conditions. The Stokyards Labor Council, however, is unqualified against race discrimination, and permits no affiliation with organizations that practice it. (6) Because of Contact with Individuals who Advocate Race Dis- The writer cites this one instance which will illustrate the point clearly. During the week that the colored workers were kept on this side on account of the riot, a meeting was held by District Council No. 9. This, by the way, is the Council put in the field by the International to destroy the Stockyards Labor Council. At this meeting one Frank McElroy is reported to have said: "Now that we have the "niggers" out of the yards, let's keep them out". At this our International Secretary-Treasurer is said to have objected advising that it would not at the time be a safe experiment in much as the Stockyards Labor Council had come but so clearly and forcibly on the race issue, and against A THE CHICAGO WHIP FINANCIAL UNREST AMONG COLORED PEOPLE This paper has stated consistently that there was social, political and financial unrest among the colored people. The proximate cause is the revolutionary change in Negro psychology that comes in due season and in chronological order to all progressive people. Chicago is the throbbing heart of all race activities, it is the centrifugal force of race opinion. Chicago Colored People have been in a state of business coma and economic lethargy and the silent period reigned supremely until recent date. The eyes of the race have opened and the colored people have launched out in business, even in competition. The life of industry has been stiffened, unheard of obstacles have arisen, reverses have been prevalent, deceptions have been common and disillusions have made up the order of the day. The people of the colored race are full of ambition to co-operate and go forward but they are sceptical, disatisfied and doubtful. Two race banks have failed within the last two months, a great race riot has brought prejudice into bloodshed, a strong anti-Negro propaganda circulated by white property owner's association has also brought ill feelings, distrust and attendant evils. Colored People with their meager earnings and slim resources are striving for a place in the Sun. They are willing to be guided by men of integrity and sincerity.. Those men are either in absentia or not in being. The masses of the people are distrustful of "gift bearers" remembering the story of the Trojan horse. It is now the time for friends of the race whether they are from within or without to prove their sincerity and disposition by giving real service to the striving struggling people. Hysteria is common in financial circles. Imagination and nervousness overcomes better and sound judgment. Dame Rumor has played havoc within the masses and scandal has destroyed the essence and quality of confidence. Panic fear must be stricken off our Calendar and calm sober reasoning must preserve our business relationships. We are glad to notice unrest and desire to go forward. It is a mile post in progress. We now await real leaders in the financial world to restore our confidence and to promote our interests until these leaders appear upon the scene. We must support such institutions that are best willing and in position to serve us. Spite action and snap judgment such as the unwarranted run upon the Lincoln Bank will destroy inter-racial business relation and militate against the future financial status of the race.

Dr. Carey is the presiding Elder of the Chicago District of the A. M. E. Church. In May the A. M. E. Church will hold its quadrennial General Conference, at which time one or more bishops will be elected. Dr. Carey is the only candidate of the north west section of the great A. M. E. Connection. The Institutional Church is not alone in this particular. The quarterly conferences of Bethel, Quinn Chapel, St. Mary's, Wayman, and Grant Memorial have already taken similar action. The universal desire of the Chicago churches and the whole north west seems to be that Dr. Carey should be elected to the Bishopric, where his splendid talents can be used to greater advantage for the church and the race.

They are buying land at inflated prices and paying off mortgages which were regarded as family heirlooms. One British official says that the country has made at least 100,000,000 pounds sterling."

Now, as we see it, Frank McEloy is just one individual and previous to that time he had worked on the Executive Board of the Stockyards Labor Council and done good work. He sided with the International in the factional fight and has since been retained by District Council No. 9. Hence you can see that he merely gave free expression of personal feeling, and as he was not the authorized spokesman of any organization, the import of the statement is negligible.

The ablest southern newspapers are as severe in condemning it as is any organ of northern opinion. Southern governors, sheriffs and mayors exhibit an increasing appreciation of their duty in this regard. Indeed, while the Lincoln league was in session the governor of Kentucky was employing the state militia to protect a negro then on trial for a grave crime. Five rioters were killed by the soldiers and many others were wounded as the result of an attempt to storm the jail. When a southern governor displays such determination to protect colored men accused of crime and give them the benefit of due process of law, it is plain that, in the paraphrased words of Lincoln, the negro problem is in process of being settled and being settled right.

Enforced and restricted conditions, only tend to penalize those that are the weaker and give advantage to those that make the handicap. When such conditions are racial, it subjugates those possessing genius and rare intelligence, to the most unscrupulous and ignorant. Yet, paradoxically, the self-styled leader will consciously sanction it for what he considers a "big job" and incidentally to be a "big man." He fails to realize that he is fast forging the chains of slavery around his own children, and will lead to the very conditions which we are trying so very hard and persistantly to overcome. "The New Negro" realizes that there must come a change. He is in need of a more exalted ideal; an ideal in which equality is more evenly represented; the more intelligent and better informed, must give themselves conscientiously up to the task of the reconstruction work, and with fortitude and manly courage bear all inconvenience incurred thereby. The lack of temperamental quality under duress, which has erroniously been attributed to Negroes, is a libel upon the sterling qualities of the black man, that has no dearth of red blood, and it is a direct reflection upon his manhood. The type that has always been picked for comparison, are the spiritless, spineless, and unfortunate individual that was the victim of ecopomic urge. That has not been misunderstood, but deliberately and maliciously distorted into a supposed state of absolute submission; because of his urbanity under prevailing conditions.

Not CATTLE AND CATTLE! Week's Worst Editorial, Tribune, Feb.18th NEGRO GOVERNMENT IN THE U. S. A. The Negro controls the south. The south controls the Democratic party. The Democratic party still controls the nation. The nation is conducted with regard to the limitations of the Negro in the south. Prohibition was adopted by the southern states because it is dangerous for the Negro to drink. If he drinks he becomes savage or may become savage. The south defended itself against the liquor traffic not because the southern adult did not want to drink but because he could not allow the Negroes to drink. Woman suffrage probably will be adopted, but it had to win against the south. The south is opposed to extension of suffrage because that involves the Negro vote which is not cast but which must always be suppressed. Extensions of suffrage are inimical to sections which must maintain restrictions of suffrage. We probably will not get universal military training because the south is afraid to train and arm Negroes. Congressmen from the south say they will not put arms in the hands of blacks. If that is their reason for opposing universal training we have a whole system of national defense dependent upon the limitations of black people submerged below the citizenship line. We are not blaming the south.

TIBBS, 9 East 36th Street it is probably unjust. The north, given the southern problems, might behave in the same fashion. But we are being ruled by Negroes to a very considerable extent and in very important matters. The southern Negro governs by the limitations of his citizenship. His incapacity is an applied test of American legislation. If proposed legislation does not fit him it is opposed. One nonvoting southern Negro has more influence upon the course of the United States in many essential particulars than ten voting northern citizens. He is powerful in his powerlessness. Tribue, 2-16-20. How The Tribune Writes About Us The Chicago Tribune carried the following on February 2nd: Colored Folks At Meeting Protest Move To Oust Them. At a meeting last night at the colored Methodist Church; Fiftieth Street and Wabash avenue, a protest was registered against the Hyde Park and Kenwood A-sn, an organization which aims to keep colored people out of that neighborhood. Oscar De Priest and Josse Binga addressed the meeting. Now as a matter of fact, Oscar De Priest did not speak at that meeting and neither did Josse Binga, the former was absent on account of other engagements and the later was confined to his house on account of illness. The question naturally comes to our minds as to what means are employed by the Tribune to get the facts. It is interesting to note that they are well informed as to the movements of the "black automobile" from which bombs are thrown at colored residences and they also seem to have very accurate accounts of the meetings of the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association.
