Frank Robinson a white farmer, near Legrande took it upon himself to arrest Smith because he had seen him speaking to little six year old Florence Whitehead, also white. The child had asked Smith to tell her about the war and France as Smith had been oversens and still wore his olive drab trousers and puttees. Smith resisted arrest and returned to his work. Quarter of Million Dollars for Endowment of Colored Medical Colleges Washington, D. C., March 19th. The General Educational Board, founded by John D. Rockefeller at its last meeting appropriated $250,000.00 to be used by Howard University for medical education. Howard University Medical School is claused as the only "A" medical institution for the training of colored physicians, dentists and pharmneists in the country. The income from this amount is to be made available pending the completion of the full amount. This appropriation comes at an opportune time and after some effort on the part of Howard University. The funds will permit the medical School to institute many features that have been contemplated for some time by the authorities. The Freedmen's Hospital, largely supported by the Government is one of the largest hospitals for colored and conducted by colored in the country has been the training school for many of America's most successful physicians.

Colored Moron Confesses Crimes Before Going to Death Eddyville, Ky. March 9th. — Will Lockett, alias Petrie Kimbrough, confirmed moron, who is condemned to die here in the electric chidi, has confessed to the crimes which evidence his mental degeneracy. The crimes confessed to by Lockett are as follows: white woman murdered at Carmt, 11L, 1913; colored woman choked and left for dead at Evansville, Ind., 1917; woman, white or colored, he didn't know or care which, choked to death near Camp Zachary Taylor, 1911. Lockett's mania evidenced itself back as 1905, when he attacked a white woman near his home and was compelled to flee the locality. Lockett is one of the colored men who was saved from mob violence by the intervention of Gov. Morrow of Kentucky. Prejudice Bars Medical Treatment. Before his first offense, a body of prominent colored citizens, realizing Lockett's mental weakness applied at the County hospital for treatment for the then future moron, but on account of race prejudice the treatment was denied, and Lockett was allowed to coam at large, and pursue his dementia career. Had it not been for his color, and the blind prejudice caused by it, four lives might have been saved. African Princess Dies in St. Lucia.

Jackson, Miss., March 15th. Mrs. Carrie McCarthy, a colored woman, who was enraged last month with the murder of Nilson Stiges was sentenced to be hanged on April 23rd. This sentence was given by the Mississippi Supreme Court, confirming the sentence of the Cureit Court of Waltham County. Newspapers record this as the first hanging of a colored woman in the state of Mississippi. The correction is in order that this is perhaps the first legalized murder in as much as Mississippi has to her credit the lynching of 12 colored women in the last 20 years. Unarmed Defends Self Against Gunman Memphis, Ten. 5.—While strolling down Winchester ave., yesterday, and hoping to find some excuse to justify his existence as a member of the Memphis police force, Patrolman W. H. Singleton espied Albert Nicabear, colored, standing upon a corner. Obsessed with the idea that every colored man must be toiling incessantly every moment, or else be a criminal vagrant, officer Singleton saw an opportunity to raise his percentage as a bulldozing cop and at the same time vent his inherited and ingrained hatred for anything not white upon this inoffensive victim. Nicabear Not Submissive. Nicabear Not Submissive. But he had reckoned without his quarry. Advancing upon Nicabear with abusive oaths, and an overbearing mien, it is claimed that officer Singleton began to pummel Nicabear most heartily with his "billy". Nicabear knew that it was unlawful to resist an officer of the iaw, but he also remembered that he was a red-blooded man who would defend his manhood with the last drop of his red blood. Nicabear took issue with Singleton and defended himself with a penknife that he happened to be carrying in his pocket, with such success that Singleton was forced to resort to his revolver. The two went down fighting, Nicabear slashing with his tiny knife, and Singleton using his club with one hand and trying to draw his gun with the other. In the tussle Nicabear's head struck a stone and dazed him for a minute giving the brave policeman a chance to get his pistol into play when he got out of striking distance of Nicabear's little knife. Policeman Shoots In Cold Blood. Officer Singleton, bleeding like a dog, which he seemed to resemble, stood and fired four shots at the prostrate and dazed man, wounding him mortally. Singleton makes the usual statement of the chivalric Southern policeman that his life was threatened and he shot in self-defense. Nicabear Was Law-Abiding. Testimony comes from Mr. W. W. S. Hornsby, white, of. Millington, three miles west that Nicabear was a quiet law-abiding farmer and had worked for him for the past two years on his farm. Nicabear will die according to the statements of the hospital physician. Any old-time husband can tell you that when a wife isn't loudly regretting the marriage opportunity she didn't take she is loudly regretting the one she did take. Crooked Politics and High Rents Must Go Says Warren B. Douglas. Says Warren B. Douglas. Sunday, March 13th at an over-ow meeting at the Odd Fellows Hall, 3339 S. State street, Hon. Warren B. Douglas, candidate for Ward Committeman of the Second Ward, and Member of the Legislature, said he would introduce a bill at the next General Assembly making it a Criminal Offense for landlords like Oscar DePriest, Jesse Binga, Geo. F. Harding and others to raise rents on the poor people unless they are given authority to do so by the State. He Warren B. Douglas also said he would use his influence to continue the fight upon crooked politicians and to run every Uncle Tom and every Stool Pigeon out of Politics. Fighting For The People. Fighting For The People. Atty. Douglas is one of the ablest and most forceful orators of the day. He has the endorsement of the United Political League and all of the intelligent honest working people of the District. Mr. Douglas did not seek the honor of being a candidate. The people sought him, because they knew it was impossible to get any relief from the present evils, high rents, filthy streets, high food, and cooked elections, from the Old Crowd Uncle Toms who would sell anything for a job for themselves. (Continued on Page 6.) Po'iceman McCall Under Fire William McCall, policeman, working out of Chicago Avenue station has been accused by Captain Dennis Malloy of being intoxicated and requests Chief Garrity to prefer charges. Ever since McCall refused to be Jim Crowed and sleep in segregated beds at the Wabash St. Station, it seems as if all agencies have working to "get him." He is charged with being intoxicated and this report is made because McCall, who cannot be intimated and in an altercation iwth Officer Ford and later with Ocers Eck and Klatoz was about to give a good account of himself with fists or side arms if necessary. His case has been continued and he will clear himself no doubt in this case as in the case of last summer. We begin to see a rather concerted attempt to discredit colored policemen on the force. The white press also seems more than ready as they do not seem to have any regard for the facts. British Rule Denounced in Sudan and Egypt. Egyptian Assembly Proclaim Liberty. London, March 7th. Said Zugoul Pasha, who headed the Egyptian Mission to the Peace Conference is the moving spirit in the separation of Egypt from British domination. Fifty-two members of the Egyptian Legislative Assembly met at the house of Said Pasha and passed a resolution proclaiming the independence of Egypt and the Sudan. Other resolutions were passed which protested against the Assembly and denounced in strong language the British protectorate in Egypt. Mob Attempts to Storm Jail for Colored Man Mob Attempts to Storm Jail for Colored Man New Albany, Ind., March 16. About four hundred white persons attempted last Monday night to break in the jail house and lynch Charles Pearson, a colored man, who was held for alleged attack on Mrs. Cecilia Summers, a white woman. Chief of Police Permits Jail To B: Searched. When the angry crowd was informed by Chief of Police George McCulloch that the colored man had been taken to Jeffersonvill Reformatory for safe keeping, the mob demanded that they be allowed to search the jail, fearing that McCulloch was telling this story to quiet them. Not finding any trace of Pearson, they attempted in true Southern fashion to find another likely colored man to take his place. Woman Claims That She Was At tacked. Mrs. Cecilia Summers, a white woman, alleges that she was attacek and brutally beaten by Pearson, on last Sunday night when she was coming from chuck. At first she did not seem to know whether it was a white man or colored man who attacked her but the police brought in the colored men who could not give a very good account of themselves and Mrs. Summers did nt ohave any truble identifyying Pearson as the man who beat her. Sugar Coated Segregation in Galveston, Texas. Sugar Coated Segregation in Galveston, Texas. (Special To Chicago Whip.) Galveston, Texas, March 15th. The Board of City Commissioners have struck upon an attractive (?) form of segregation for colored citizens. A proposal has been laid before the city commissioners which provides for the building of a 500 room bath house, a dancing pavilion, soft drink stand and restaurant to be used exclusively of colored. The argument used is that they ought to make the colored people satisfied and that the best way to do it was to give them something nice but by all means keep it separate and distinct. The Commissioners hope to attract colored people from other southern cities here for summer vacations, by this ingenious yet heinous comberbad injustice. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. KLUX Say Wilson Is In- President Scored French Say Wilson Is Insane. President Scored President Wilson recently sent a letter to Senator Hitchcock, Administration Leader in the Senate, in which he made reference to the President of France that caused the last bond to be broken of France's sympathy for his policy. In the letter (which was recently reprinted in France) France was described as "Militaristic." This was the cause of much publicly expressed Indignation because France claims she only seeks to protect herself from an invasion from Germany or any outside nation who seeks to do her harm. The French people are only carrying out the "safety first plan" by having or preparing a few realities instead of all idealistic conceptions. The French people are now wondering does Wilson voice the opinion of all America or is he a lone fanatic. Senator Lodge in commenting on the letter characterized it an attack on France and wondered what effect it would have on the French people. Militarism and national Security are synonymous terms in the French Attorney A.L. Williams Strong Figure. The fight for delegate to National Convention is now on with a vengeance in the First Congressional District. Three candidates from this District are in the field. Augustus L. Williams, Oscar De Priest and George F. Harding have all filed petitions showing no preference for President t. As a man for the people, Attorney Williams stands heads and shoulders above the others. Atty. Williams is the man who made such remarkable sacrifices during the recent riots while serving the race through seventy days and nights at the Coroner's inquests and investigations. He is endorsed by the United Political League and is independent of the strings of George Harding and others. Atty. Williams has shown that he is an able lawyer and a conscientious fighter for the rights of his people. He is naturally opposed to George F. Harding who has gotten the name of Rent Profiteer recently, and Oscar De Priest who has been accused of having a constitutional weakness for money and power. Williams has demonstrated his ability to handle large questions and issues and is able to fight to a successful issue without being bought or begged off for money or promises of personal gain. This --- Say America is led by Lunatic ATTY. A. L. WILLIAMS RUNS FOR DELEGATE TO NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION 101 A. L. Williams Atty. Williams a Real Fighter. PRICE FIVE CENTS minds, and Marshall Foch is regarded by them the most important factor in their existence. Much more than the articles in the Peace League of Nations that they are supposed to look to for protection. Wilson a Lunatic Paris-Midi, one of the most influential French papers in commenting on the letter to Senator Hitchcock says, that the letter is a "decisive proof that the president has not returned to health" and that the American nation is led by a lunatic." They accuse Wilson of risking the good name of America before the universe by calling France militaristic and sanctioned Joseph Daniels in his announcement of a program of "Unlimited Armament!" The Presse, another paper, says, "his allusion to Marshall Foch would merit only disdain." The Presse states further that the treaty of Versi-iles, they were obliged to accept, because it was presented as the wish of the American people. No. America disavows the treaty and it against us that Wilson pours out his wrath." Twenty years ago Williams was elected as alternat- e Republican Convention in Philadelphia and this was at a time when the First Congressional District was largely white. His intimate touch with the people as one of them has fitted him to speak and act for them. His legal ability makes him prepared for any kind of action requiring judgment and vision. The respect which those in the high places accord him is given because of his ability and manhood and not because of political favor. He has the nerve and the brain and above all the interests of the race at heart. He is independent and has large real estate interests but has not followed the practice of rent hogs, but rather has aided the working man to live right and decently within his means. His Platform Atty. Williams has not committed himself on Presidential choice but says that he will be governed by the people's choice in the district when they have voted on April 13t3h. He said, when interviewed: "I will not say, as I have been told, that Mr. De Priest said he would not sit in the Convention with me, in case he was elected, on account of my color. I will say, that I will gladly sit in the Convention with him or me. Harding, as I am man enough to realize that after all the sitting is not the big issue but only a matter of form, too insignificant to mention. I will be ever on the path with conscience and reason, trying to get a plank in the Republican Platform against lynching, disfranchisement and Jim Crowism, and for all matters beneficial to my people all over the United States. Therefore, I urgently appeal to all of the fair minded, liberty loving citizens in my District, who believe as I do, to join with me by REGISTERING; on March 23rd, 1920, and VOTING for me on April 13th, 1920.

Wolfley says Nagel has told the committee he will take the matter under consideration. Negro residents have called a mass meeting of their race for Wednesday night at the Metropolitan Church, Garrison and Lucas avenues, which Nagel will address, and it is the intention of members of the Liberty League to start a boom for Nagel at that time.

The colored people have a majority of votes in the Twelfth District. There are 75,000 colored voters in the state, enough to control the action of the party, if they vote together. Some of the colored leaders say they are dissatisfied with promises made them by the St. Louis Republican organization for a larger representation on the ticket. They demanded Frank M. Slater's replacement by a colored man as committeeman of the Seventeenth Ward. This has not been done. Aaron Lloyd, grand chancellor of the colored Knights of Pythias of Missouri, and president of the Citizen's Liberty League, said today 50-000 colored voters would soon hold membership cards in the league. DANCED OUT OF JAIL. Henry Johnson, a young lad who had recently come from Galveston, THE CHICAGO WHIP Texas, went into Rothschilds Haberdashery Store and proceeded to remove from the counter an expensive hat. He was arrested and told the Judge of the Boys' Court he was very hungry and was forced to get food. The Judge said he would forgive him for stealing a loaf of bread but could not understand how the boy could eat a hat. The judge was about to give the boy a heavy fine when he asked what he could do. John said there were only two things he could do—to pick cotton and dance. John said, "Judge, I mean I don't pick no 500 pounds, I pick 700 pounds a day." The judge asked him to demonstrate his dancing abilities, so the prisoner proceeded to pull off the ragged coat, made himself free and easy and gave a demonstration that brot applause and commendation from all in the court room. The judge said he was really an artist. Because of this demonstration, Johnson was pardoned and paroled in care of A. C. Richey, Boys' Worker of the Chicago Urban League. He is now employed, saving his money and expects to return to Texas to marry the girl he left behind. EMPLOYERS WILL NOT BAR COLORED STEVEDORES San Francisco, Cal., March 18, 1920.—Colored stevedores will not be barred from employment on the water front. This was the decision reached at a meeting of the members of the Waterfront Employers' Union in the offices of the Matson Navigation Company. "We realize we are under a moral obligation to the men who assisted us in meeting the emergency created by the strike of union stevedores, and the members of our association are pledged to employ colored men on all piers controlled by them in the same proportion as they were employed during the strike." James Tyson of the Matson Navigation Company, one of the largest employing associations on the water front, told members of the employers' union. "Without the assistance of those men who handled our cargoes during the recent strike the acts of lawlessness and violence, unchecked by the authorities, would have crippled our industries." Tyson said.

Montgomery's second Extravaganza was presented to a capacity audience on Monday night. The name "Follies and Fancies of 1920" was well portrayed, as every thing was modern in construction and presentation. I would suggest to Mr. Montgomery to do as he did in his last show, that is "jam" a few more musical numbers in the last act, in order to break the monotony of the different talking situations, which is good and full of humor, and by putting in a song number in places will further enrich the piece. From the point of show production and box office attraction this Co. has broken all records at this house. Yes, it is really a treat to get something new, something up-to-date, and something that pleases the most fastidious. The Books and Lyrics are Montgomery's and some music by Jordan augmented by spicy popular ditties. A complete review of the Cast will be made in the next issue. THE AVENUE. "The Garden of Love" is the name of the play here the present week, and from all who have seen it, proclaim it up to the standard. The writer being unable to review it on Monday night.

ENTERTAINERS Mr. Schoer according to the testimony of Mr. "Nosey" our Cabaret Correspondent, is the most versatile man in the business. He tends bar, waits table, cashiers, tends the door, calls taxies, picks up money for the actors, janitors, bounces the bullies and of course banks the "dough". Miss Ollie Burgyoyne is putting a new twist in Hulla Hulla, she is in a class to herself. Bill George is still walking the floor and making mirth for the patrons iwth his gentle smiles. DREAMLAND. iKng Jones is still a cream in the roll of announcer. Ring bones is still a cream in the toll of announcer. Jones has a style all his own, besides he has a way of getting the best that the amusement affords to participate nightly on the programme. Bill Bottoms is still wearing his serene smile. Why shouldn't he?—The people are crying for a chance to spend their "jack". Please, don't sinh'em no more, Bill. The Reed and String section of Dave Peyton's Grand Theatre orchestra had a little combustion last week, the reed section landed on the string section where upon the string section retaliated with a lon bow stroke, the pads fell off the reed section and the tones refused to come from the hop pipes, after a little persuasion by an unconcerned bystander the two sections got together, shook hands and entered the pit and belinked more sweeter than ever. profoundly to be careful in his attire, as hib brothers all looked the part—a little makeup will help and the shine of the trousers will be remedied by a new pair (this is a tip Frank) you put too much time with the ? George Edmund Duff, the director is a good theoretical musician, and handled the Orchestra pretty well, but lacks the agitation in beat, especially in the animated element. Th evening was well worth while and the next Concert should be given unanimous support, in order that the young musicians, may make better eorts to attain the competency, which it requires to deliver the goods adn it is up to the music loving public to inject the nspraton. Leroy Shaw, the flute player, has returned from the East, where he went last summer to fill an engagement. A letter was received from Mr. H. C. Washington of Cincinnati, Ohio, this week. Mr. Washington states that he is the co-writer of "Rail Road Blues" with Lucky Roberts, and wishes same to be published. Mr. Washington is connected with the Vocal-Style Player Roll Co. of Cincinnati. Mr. Dink Coperidge, a musician of note, died at the state insane asylum at Moline, last week. Mr. Coperidge was bass player in The Grand Orchestra for two years, and a clever player. The musicians and friends who contributed towards his burial, were liberal in their donations. Thirty five dollars was collected and all that was needed to ship the body to his sister who lives in St. Louis, Mo.

This Organization of colored artists, made their second appearance in the city on last Monday night,—their first concert given last fall. The Aryan Grotto Temple, was a pathetic sight to look upon, as the crowd was somewhere else. It is a shame that the Negro doesn't support such organizations as this—how inspiring an encouraging it would be to those capable musicians if they knew that they had the support in attendance of' their own people to appreciate their efforts. The Program was well rendered, with selections of our famous Composers, such as Cook, Pinkard and Tyers. Oh, how beautiful was "Swing Along," the Opening Ensemble with a male chorus, accompanied by Orchestra. The Oboe Solo by "Tompikns" was excellent and the artist showed great mastery of this so delicate instrument, one of the most complicated to handle. A Tenor soloist "James Lillard, rel- sponded to many encores, his voice was sweet in color and his articu- lation perfect. "Spirituals" by the Quartette was well worth hearing as such songs as "Steal Away to Jesus" "Sweet and Low" always receive a listening ear from the lovers of Music. William Dover, a good trombone player "glissendoed" in a cyclonic style and "Little Jimmie Bertrand, beat the heads out of his drums and responded to several encores. Clarence Lee, played sweet on the Violin and showed by his tone coloring, that he was delivering from the soul. Leo makes a warredful stage appearance, all but the closing of his eyes while he plays, which detracts from great ability this artist possesses—a little smile will help.

LEWIS ASSUMES MANAGEMENT OF IDLEWILD HOTEL. Since the death of Hon. Beauregard F. Mosley, father-in-law of Carry B. Lewis and manager of the Idlewild Hotel, and since the recent fire in the Hotel damaging it to some extent especially in appearance, Mr. Carry B. Lewis has applied himself most energetically to make the beautiful and well established Hotel again a thing of beauty, delight and popularity. Mr. Lewis announces now that it is in perfect running order, with many available rooms for transit and regular guests. It has the nightly protection of the 'Keystone Detective Agency' and is run on first class basis.

Moseiwitch in Artistic Piano Recital, one of the best piano recitals of the season was that of Beuno Moseiwitch — a Russian Pianist at Orchestra Hall on Sunday Afternoon, March 7th. He held a most appreciative audience spellbound while he rendered a program of the most exacting and faultless technique wedded to poetic artistry of the highest order. In the Chopin Sonata in B flat Minor and the Debussy totocanto, his absolute command of his fingers was plainly apparent — though all that could be desired in the bringing forth of tone — pure, firm, singing tone — and in that fascinating coupling of the real with the imaginative — was given. The well known Love Dream by Liszt was presented as an exquisite tone poem and was interpreted in an altogether original but thoroughly satisfying and enjoyable manner. We hail Mr. Moseiwitch as an artist of the first rank. The Paulist Choir. On Thursday, Evening, March 8 at Medinah Temple, Father Finn presented his choir of "sixty boys and men. The perfect blending of the boy's voices with the heavier voices of men was a source of wonder to all and showed the excellent training for which Father Finn is known throughout the world. The program consisted of selections from Palestrina, Arkangelsky, Hurley, Rheinberger and Bach and in all of them the tonal power was good. Rudolph Reuter, Pianist. Carl D. Kinsey presented Rudolph Reuter, Concert Pianist and Teacher of Piano at Chicago Musical College in Ziegfield Theatre on March 10th at 11 A. M. As usual, Mr. Reuter was greeted by the audience with that spontaneous welcome which bespeaks a record of noteworthy achievements and an absolute confidence in what is to come. This faith and appreciation were entirely justified when the program was played. The Chopin Nocturne Op. 62 No. 1. — the so-called Tubercose Nocturne — fitly exemplified its name and the sweet, haunting melody was brought forth by a most persuasive, clinging, though powerful finger action. The Ballads in A flat were the acme of power well directed and balanced. Lotus Land by Scott gave a delightful impression of the real Lotus Land that we know and was a relaxation after the tempestuous Avalanche by Dieter. Rubenstein's Staceato Etude made a brilliant and fitting ending to a splendid program of sixteen numbers. The Young Peoples Society of Institutional Church, under the direction of Miss Magnolia Lewis will give a special feature Musicale on Sunday March 14th at 3:15 P. M. T.

They certainly love the crack of a high powered "tool of death", and must have a faucet in the heel of their boots. The "wise birds" of State Street are coming home from Hot Springs. The National game, "African Gol" as she is played there is a "stinger". Ask Mr. Horne, HE KNOWS. Startling as it may seem, someone has hurled a monkey wrench into the perfectly adjusted White Sox Machine, completely cluttering the works. The White Sox, the last ball club to leave for the training camp have more "hold-outs" or "stay-outs" as you like it, than all of the ball clubs in the "big show". Buck Weaver, Chick Gandel, Charlie Risberg, Fred. McMullin, Winoyes, Ted Jordan, who is slated to take Gandels' place should Gandel stay out, Gen. Joseph E. Jackson, hitter extraordinary. Any two of these players will weaken the ball club. Three of them would be a real "wrecking crew" in the wrong place. Eddie Collins has been given permission to come to the camp later. You know that Lincoln said that you can fool some of the people..., oh, you know the rest! We are acting more like them every day. Rube Foster, our pet magnate, ain't doing so well. Francis, our peerless third sacker, Whitworth, the best colored pitcher pitching baseball to-day, a man who is cool, calm, and deliberate under all conditions. The Grape Vine Telegraph says in its weekly report that Charleston and Barber will not be amongst those present when the men gather here to train. Some one has dropped a cold chisel in the perfectly oiled machine of Mr. Foster. Now the gears are all stripped 'n everything. Well, this won't hurt the pastime any. Foster's Ball Club has always been the "class" of his League, faster and a better-handled ball club than the team; that he met, with the exception of one or two ball clubs that we could mention. The public goes to the ball park, knowing that Rube can win in any inning he may choose. The public loves a contest where the clubs are so evenly matched that the advantage, if any, is the handling of the plays and players, where the brains of the managers are given a chance to work out the finer points of baseball. When the team swings into the eight inning of the ball game, when a man has not reached third, then the redblooded fan gets interested; blood surges thru your veins; you tell advice to the players, to the manager; you scare the handsome "brown" in the next box into a fit by discussing a point in play with her, (she thinks you're fresh); when you are ready to lick the man in the box in front of you because he has an opinion of his own; you fall out with your life-long friend; you decide to knock his block off as soon as your favorite pitcher gets out of the hole he's in. The teams swing into the ninth inning. The score is nothing to nothing. The home team goes to the bat. The visiting pitcher is nervous, he is overanxious to win. The first man at bat is hit by a pitched ball. There's one "on". The next hitter hits a long fly to center. The fielder races over, gets set for the catch, looses the ball in the sun, and it drops at his feet. Ten thousands manias rise to their feet, blood surging, veins standing out on their foreheads like whip words—every person in the ball park is running with the base runner as he runs step for step, breathing hard as the runner slides into third just as the ball is received. It is a close decision. The runner is declared safe. A rush to the third corner by both managers. A heated argument. The umpire waves the managers aside and you are returned to earth by the fan behind you asking in a kidding manner, if you don't want his chair to stand on. You sit down ashamed of yourself. You remember you have been standing since the ball was hit. And the game proceeds. The visiting pitcher winds up and pitches. It's a ball. Makes an attempt to stoop himself. He throws a second ball. You say to the "brown," "He's wild." She whispers to her girl friend, "The pitcher is not the only wild thing in the ball lot." His team mates beg, advise, curse him. The pitcher determines not to walk the hitter. The home team manager calls he batter out of the box, has a hurried whispered conversation. The pitcher winds up, takes a look at the runner on third. 10.- 000, people advise the pitcher in a chorus, that "he can't get em over, he can't get em over." It becomes a chant. They sing it, they yell it, "You can't get 'em over." He throws the ball. It comes to the hitter with the speed of a ball from a bannon. The hitter, grasping the ball in the center, catching the infield rather unexpectedly, bunts the ball; the man on third has received the signal and is on his way home as the pitcher winds up. There is a rush of players to the ball. The pitcher is the first man to reach it. He grabs it, his ingers fail to grasp in; the runner is nearing home with the speed of the wind. The ball is thrown. The runner slides. There is a cloud of dust at the home plate. You see the upmire declare the runner safe. You come back to earth and you wonder whether you will take the Wentworth or the Thirty-fifth street car home. The following story is told a few days ago. The gentleman in question being a Sate Representative, a very loquacious individual. He talked for one hour and thirty-five minutes without stopping to take air. After he had finished the janitor met him in the hall of the legislative chambers and the legislator said, "Well, Jim, how did you like my little talk?" "Say bos, if I could alk as long as you I would open a barbershop." Some years ago, a certain ball club had a young pitcher. Every ball player liked him and wanted to keep him up in he big league. So, he was told on starting on the big show that a certain brainy infielder would keep him posted on he weaknesses of the players of each team as they came to bat. This system worked nicely in St. Louis and Cleveland. The first day at Detroit, the manager decided to start his young "ace". The home team had hit down to Ty Cobb, clearly the best hitter in the national pastime. I had waited patiently for a week for this. Cobb comes to bat; the pitcher throws out the "distress signal"; his advisor was busy talking to the coach, and he pitcher "needed a friend." He goes over to his advisor and says, "well, how are we going to stop this bird?" Advisor flashes a book, and whispers to the pitcher, "The safest way is to take the bat away from him." Well. Buck Weaver has kicked up again. He says, he must have more coin or be traded. In my opinion as big an ace as Ray Schalk, Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, which is the whole ball club. The Breakers Base Ball Club of Palm Beach, Florida' defeated the Royal Poincaria on the Poincaria diamond last Sunday. Pitching honors between Buckner and Tucker, Buck must have a pipe line thru to Cuba. He has been done about 5 years ago, but ssch! It's a secret. He don't know it. American Giants Open Schorling Park SUNDAY, APRIL 11th, 3 P. M. What promises to be the greatest season at Schorling Park in its history, will be augmented with the opening of the season, Sunday, April 11th, promptly at 3 P. M., when the pride of Chicago, American Giants, cross bats with the Crack Rogers Park Club of Chicago Ball League. Several promising players, new to the fans here will be trotted out for inspection to the followers of the Giants, many Stars who has been idolized by the fans will be missing, The most prominent among them are Whitworth, the Ace of the pitching staff, wo will go to Detroit Stars, Carleston, the crack centerfielder of last kear's club returns to A, B, C, C of Indianapolis; Francis, third baseman and Barber, right fielder, goes east. We know these players who had won much favor with the fans, will be missed, and we with you mourn the loss of such favorites. Yet due consideration must be given Foster, as he has manipulated many deals, and said it was good for the game to exchange players in order to maintain the interest, instead of seeing two good clubs. Each Sunday we will witness men who have proved their worth, at the same time the clubs will be utilized in equal strength. There was only one way to meet the demands of the fans, and we know with this end in view, Foster separated with such stars. Giants will maintain their class. One must not with losing these players think the Giants will not remain the same classy aggregation of years, they have added new men to fill the shoes of the boys who have left, and with Brown and (Dixon, catchers, Grant, Demoss, Williams, Malarcher, infielders, Reese of Phila., Torriente, Gans, Tom Williams, Tom Johnson and Dave Brown, Pitchers, they have the class equal in strength to defeat any club of color in the business, yet there will be 16 new men here in addition to these men for tryouts, who will be reserved for future use, so we will not worry over the outcome. It is certain when these players appear here, standing room will be at premium. A Colored "Babe" Ruth Chris Torriente Is His Name and He's a Terror to any Kind of a Pitcher He Goes Up Against. TIE SEASON of the Cuban Winter League is drawing to a close and has been a big success, the hundreds of tourists from the desert States having contributed immensely to the patronage of the games played. Various players who spend their summers in the States in major and minor leagues will now report and take up the game in America where they left it off in Cuba, for the Cuban ball player is a tireless individual and therein sets an example for his lazier Northern cousin. The Cuban winter season has had its features and its biggest sensation, according to travelers, has been the batting of the "Black Babe Ruth," Christopher Torriente, who has out-baked the Babe with his tremendous stickwork. He has won such fame that various independent teams not particular about color in the States are bidding for the services of the colored Behemoth. Cuba's Black Babe hasn't been hitting against Cuban pitchers only to demonstrate his prowess. He showed it against some of the best major league pitching previous to the opening of the regular Winter League season. He Whaled National Leaguers. He Whistled National League. In ten games played by his team against the team that played under George Cushaw's management in Cuba, facing such big league pitchers as Ed Pfeffer and Leon Cadore, of the Brooklyn team, and Carlson and Ponder, of the Pirates. Territe pasted the pellet for the healthy batting average of .377. In six games against the All-Americans, batting against Jack Quinn, Bob Geary and Mule Watson. Toriente managed to compile a batting average of .408, and in the regular championship race of the Cuban League he has a neat batting average of .450. Never in any season of series he has played in Cuba has he fallen below .350, and it never appears to matter to him whether it is American big leagues he is facing or his own island brothers. Toriente, they say, is the surest and hardest bitter Cuba has ever produced. He broke up one of the Pittsburgh games with a terrific home run belt off Harrold Carlson that traveled so far into right centerfield that he had completed the circuit of the bases before Outfielder Max Carey had reached the ball. In one of the All-American games he went to bat with two on and two out and his team two runs behind and slammed one of Bob Geary's pitches so far into the same pasture that he leafed coming up the third base line and had crossed the plate on a slow trot before the ball has been returned to the infield. This fierce swat won a game that until that minute appeared to be hopelessly lost, and the Cuban fans, with whom he is an ideal stood up in the grandstand and threw him money until he had collected $33 from the grass around the home plate. In still another game against the All-American he whaled out two home runs, one of the swats going to the left field fence and the other one to the right field barrier. For "Black Babe" hits with equal force to either field. Like Babe of the Yankees, "Black Babe" hits and throws left-handed. But his posture at the plate reminds one more of the naturally careless style of Frank Schulte than it does the crouch of "White Babe." Like Ruth, he is bulky and strongly built about the shoulders, but his legs are of more slender mould and he is much faster than the Yankee slugger. He covers more ground in the outfield and can beat out a bunt and steal bases with as much proficiency as he whales them to the fences. At the plate he is the perfect picture of the natural hitter, and Frank Schulte, champion home run hitter of the National League for many years, remarked at a game that Toriente was one of the best looking hitters he had ever seen. "He looks natural up there," Schulte said. "and he takes the right kind of a cut at the ball and doesn't swing at any bad ones. If they could whitewash that bird he'd help some big league ball club a lot." And Frank ought to know. Christopher Toriente is a native of Cuba, having been born in Cienfugas, about 300 miles from Havana 26 years THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS By " " ago. He has played in America with colored teams, with the American Giants of Chicago, and with the All Nationals of Kansas City, and has made five tours through the States with Cuban Stars. at Raleigh Lincoln and Phi to 24. to Howa won the HAMPTON DEFEATS HOWARD AND WINS 1920 CHAMPIONSHIP. By Charles H. Williams. HAMPTON, VA., Mar. —The Hampton quintet gave the greatest surprise of the season by defeating Howard University basketball team at the great Coliseum, on Friday night, March 5, by a score of 17 to 16. On the night of the game Washington was in the grip of the worst storm experienced during the entire winter. The Howard student body and the good-size crowd of basketball fans that braved the storm saw one of the finest exhibitions of basketball ever seen in the Capital City. The singing of the Howard college songs and the yells by the student body gave the game a strictly college atmosphere. From the sound of the referee's whistle until the end, the game was the closest and hardest fought one ever played between the two institutions. Howard at the opening of the first half secured a 9 to 1 lead, but Hampton settled down and this half ended 9 to 9. The second half began with both teams playing "a life and death struggle." Howard kept a one on two-point lead, until the last five minutes, when Hampton secured the one-point lead which it held. The guarding, passing, and speed of both teams, throughout the game, were spectacular and brought the crowd to its feet time after time. The playing of the Hampton team, during the last four minutes and with a one-point lead, electrified the spectators as well as mystified the Howardites. The Howard team was completely nonplussed by the unexpected strength of Hampton. Wright and Freeman at guard and McLaren at forward for Hampton played steller ball; while Tibbs and Garner for Howard were the point-getters. Fine spirit prevailed, but the game will long be noted for the close guarding and hard playing. **Hampton's Record.** Hampton's baseball record for the season is as follows; Six college games played, with five victories.

Hampton lost the first game to Howard at Hampton, 35 to 24; but won the second game in Washington, 17 to 16. Howard, the only contender for championship honors, has played three games, winning two and losing one. Hampton's basketball record, therefore, entitles her to the 1920 college championship. The line-up of the game was as follows: Hampton—McLaren and Bradby; forwards; Paxton, center; Wright and Freeman, guards.

The Akron officials were so pleased with his work last season that they are very anxious to sign him up again for this coming fall. Pollard has not signed with them yet, as he has received several offers from other professional teams and he is giving them all consideration. He hopes to be able to sign at a much higher figure. The meeting at Atlanta Feb. 9th of the Colored Southern Base Ball League was a success. Mr. R. H. Tabor of the Capital City League of Nashville was elected vice-president of the Southern League. Another meeting will be called in the near future to elect officers for the season. Although outweighed by nearly fifteen pounds, Billy Armstand, Pittsburgh's premier 132-pound boxer, gave young Finch, of Lawrenceville a fine boxing lesson Tuesday by defeating him by a large margin in every round.

Warren B. Douglas has the support of all the progressive element of are race. There never has been a candidate who was able to muster the assistance of the conscientious educated young men and women. He dares Edw. Wright or any of the City Hall crowd to meet him in open Debate on the present issues of the campaign. Wright Tries to Use Thompson's Popularity. Edw. Wright and the so called organization forces knowing that they have cheated, browbeat, held up, and pulled the wool over the voters' eyes so long they are afraid to fight upon their own merit. They are trying to use the Mayor's popularity. Douglas says that Thoppopularity. Douglas says that Wm. Thompson nor any other whitet man cannot pick our leaders for us, and besides if Thompson comes out here he will ask him: Why has he not apprehended any Bomb Throwers? Why has he not condemned the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association publicly? Why did he not remove the Police Captain from Hyde Park who was apparently mixed up with the Bombers? Why has he allowed the Policemen to raid Private Homes. Why has he allowed certain Aldermen to collect Income Tax on Vice? Why has he not assisted poor Colored People in getting damages for injury to their homes during the Riot? Why he allows his two Henchmen George Harding and Oscar DePriest to raise their rents on poor Working People? Why did he wait so long to send Military Protection to the Colored People during the Riot? What has he done for the race outside of giving a few crooked leaders Jobs? Why does he keep a man who is reported a member of the Hyde Park Association as his private secretary? LEGISLATURE. Warren B. Douglas resides at 526 East 36th street, Chicago; has been a citizen of Chicago for the past fifteen years; is a member of the Illinois bar and actively engaged in the practice; is serving as member of the General Assembly; to which he was elected in November, 1918, from the Third Senatorial District. Among the more important measures introduced by him in the Assembly were the following: A Bill to make the city and county responsible for destruction caused by bomb outrages—H. B. 450; and a Bill to give injured working people compensation from the third day of injury instead of from the eighth—H. B. III. The daily press had this to say of his record in the General Assembly: "Representative Douglas is one of the most forceful debaters in the entire Assembly." As President o the United Civic League Representative Douglas has opened up avenues of employment to colored people which seemed hitherto forever closed; e. g. eight colored men were placed by him with the People's Gas Light and Coke Co. as gas meter inspectors; twenty men secured employment through his efforts in the installation department of the Commonwealth Edison Company, and eight men were placed in lucrative positions with the Chicago Telephone Company. These positions alone arry with them salaries aggregating $50,000.00 annually. Present Day Labor Topics. Organization Committee Meets Ministers. During the organization campaign of last summer pervious to the race riot the organizers of the Union of the Packing-house workers succeeding in getting an audience with several ministerial associations of this city, before whom the Union's side of the story was explained in considerable detail. Notwithstanding the fact that charges have been repeatedly made that the average colored minister is of unfair attitude towards organized labor, we found these several groups of men to be of the fairest type. With only one exception, as the writer recalls, they promised their support to our cause when a guaranttee could be given that it was a worthy and dependable one. These men being, as you would surmise, far above the average in intelligence were already aware, that in union there is strength, and that this applies to all persons irrespective of race, creed or color. Yet they were consciously aware of many misunderstandings from time to time arising out of the relationship of organized labor and the colored workers. There, however among them a small percent who had had the benefit of actual experience of membership in labor organizations and they, of course took the lead in giving our cause their approval. All others, save one were willing to indorse our movement when convinced that the field of organized labor had sufficiently broadened as to receive a colored worker in good faith with advantage to all concerned. This proof was promised by the organizers and so rested the case when the disorder of last summer occured. Damaging Publicity. While we can vouch for the fairness of the attitude of the officials of the Stock-yards Labor Council Bros. Murphy Johnstone and Kikulski, who stood the acid test throughout the trying period, ever alert, prompt and responsive, true to the traditional principles of the organization, that a man's protection should be gauged by his affiliation with the organization, and not by the color of his skin. We make ready admission that the publicity given the organization during said period was of a destructive nature. We have endeavored to shed light on that phase of the subject in a series of articles entitled "Why the Colored Workers are Generally Anti-Union." These articles appeared in the "Chicago Whip" from Feb. 14 to March 7th, inclusive. Copies of these articles may be had on request by application to Ministers at the time of our con- As we were informed by the ferences and as we were already aware, the official position of the minister is of such a nature that he can not (if conscientious) afford to give his approval or recommendation to any act or agency, the merit of which is questionable. The proper presentation of this subject to the colored ministers of the city, and especially those in whose congregation are a considerable number of packing-house workers, is one of great import and merits the most careful and correct handling. Once convinced of the justice of the cause of organized labor an dof its sincerity to the colored man within its ranks the writer, (regardless of reports to the contrary) has absolute faith that the colored innistry will wield their great influence in moulding a favorable sentiment that will be of incalculable porportions in correlating with other constructive agencies in perfecting such understanding among the workers through intelligent organization as will raise intellectual moral and economic standard of the wage-earners to a higher plane. We believe such proceedings to be logically the next one from the labor representations. Much Internal Re-arrangement Needed. The writer has been one of those persons who has contended that half the battle of the organized worker should be the supervision of the organization itself, the detection of evils that arise within its own ranks and the elimination of the same as soon as is consistent after their discovery. The writer admits the possession of knowledge that the labor movement is filler to over-flowing with those whose chief purpose is the seeking of power and eminence if need be at the sacrifice of their fellow workers whose minds they endeavor to keep beclouded and darkened. Were it not for the love of combat with such sinister influences, are now, no doubt the interest of the writer in the labor movement might have waned. These persons have done more to retard the progress of intelligent organization among the colored workers, we believe than any one other agency involved. They are not confined to any one group racially or otherwise. Such persons have been repeatedly known to abandon principles they previously confessed and declared when the least bit of personal sacrifice was required. There were those who in the recent factional fight (which has been mentioned before as satisfact- What You Have Been Looking For A Golden Opportunity to Save JESSE BINGA, Banker 36th St. and 35th Place Soon to Become THE BINGA STATE BANK One Dollar Makes You a Depositor We Solicit Your Checking Account INCORPORATORS: Jesse Binga Chas.

The writer has more respect for the most ungrateful reactionary, concerted non-union agitator than for those would-be autocrats and would-be dictators, who are in favor of whatever state of affairs that tends to materially benefit them regardless of the welfare of the rank and file, and this in and organization in principle and representative in government. The writer furthermore contends that in face of the grave problems facing labor at this period that all consecientious factors of constructive nature should assume a willingness to studiously co-operate in immediately adjusting all differences and correcting all existing evils of the past and present ere the time and opportunity shall have passed, and the opposition shall have crystalized when the task will be more difficult.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 15th "Hell Cat" Thomas, a notorious bad man, wanted by the police of this city was run to earth and shot after a thrilling street battle lasting several hours after he had shot and mortally wounded Sergeant Murphy, white. Arrest "Hell Cat's" Wife. Detectives Trabue and Sneed, both colored, have been on the trail of Hell Cat for the past three weeks in connection with a series of robberies that have mystified the police. The detectives went to the house of Thomas and found great quantities of stolen goods and arrested the wife of "Hell Cat." This act angered Thomas and he proceeded to get the officers. The colored detectives were at a great disadvantage as they did not know the man, but they continued the search. Thrilling Street Fight. Detective. Sneed encountered the Hell Cat in an alley near Twelfth Street and the bad man opened fire. Fully fifty shots were exchanged and people scurried for shelter as Thomas retreated, reloading his automatic 45 until he reached the rear of 629 West Eleventh Street, shooting as he went cross Eleventh and Darnell Streets, much to the terror of the passersby. Police Reserves Called. Police Reserves Called. Detective Sneed had put in a call for reserves and these came led by Lieuts. Ball and Fletcher, both white —They joined in the chase with six other officers who came in the patrol among which was Sergeant Murphy who received a fatal wound in the abdomen. It is thought that the shot which finally quieted "Hell Cat's" pistol came from Lieut. Ball. Thomas Dies at Hospital. The wound in the neck of Thomas was the only hit scored by the police although the houses in the neighborhood of the shooting showed that a battle had been in progress. Sergeant Murphy died after an attempt at transfusion of blood at the City Hospital. The brother of "Hell Cat" swears that he is going to kill the officer or officers that shot his brother. This gentleman goes under the name of "Bear Cat" Thomas. The police are searching for him now and if he puts up the fight that "Hell Cat" did, the city is in for some great excitement. NEGRO SONG WRITER WAS PHE NOMENAL SUCCESS. Prof O. Willis Winkfield, of Tuluthassee, Oklahoma, who bears the distinction of a song writer as well as an author, has become sole publisher of his own works. He has just received from the press, several thousand copies of four of his latest song hits which the music dealers are selling with phenomenal success. The songs that this master of melody has written, that are popular in the South-west are: 'Sunshine After Rain' 'Peace Our Pretty Dove' 'Her Heart in Smile' and 'The Soul Sublime', the latter song will surely merit its way among the classics. It is a sacred number, which lifts you in thought. The lyric: 'Sunshine After Rain' was written by the young author in 1912 and was set to music by Jack Standley of Washington, D. C. The publisher of the song soon went out of business, cancelling contract covering terms of publishing the song. The writer of this song has revised it and set it to very enchanting music. These songs will be issued at wholesale prices to dealers and retailed to the public. The proceeds of the Soul, Sublime will go to the building fund of the First Presbyterian Church, Tullahassee, Okla., for the first year. 9 HOSPITALS FOR COLORED IN SOUTH. Interchurch Plans Embrace $3,100, 000 Outlay. Despite their large colored populations only three Southern States have hospitals under church control exclusively for colored. The Interchurch World Movement proposes to build such hospitals in nine additional States at a cost of $3,100,000. Hospitals for colored in Jacksonville, Nashville and New Orleans will be supported by the movement and at least one general hospital is planned for Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi', Missouri, both the Carolinas, Texas and Virginia—all States without a hospital for colored. Colored executives will be provided by a training school in some Southern State. The original plan was to build this training school in Tennessee, but Louisiana has presented a claim for it, and there is a probability that it will be established in New Orleans. Homes for destitute colored children form another need to be met. If the plan of the Interchurch World Movement is carried out, such homes under church control will be estab- ELGIN MOTOR COMPANY WARNS STOCKHOLDERS OF "GET RICH QUICK BROKERS". THE MILITARY MACHINE COMPANY DRIVE AWAY FROM ELGIN FACTORY. During the recent freight car embargo shipments were made from the Elgin factory "as usual", but not in the usual way. The Company having more orders than they could fill, sent their mechanics into the factory and drove the cars away across country, so that their customers were not disappointed in spring deliveries. This is one way in which the automobile business has the advantage over many other lines, inasmuch as they are independent of freight embargos and can travel under their own power. The Elgin Motor Car Company, Manufacturers of the famous "Elgin Six" automobile warns all stockholders not to be fleeced out of their stock by scheming brokers who are trying to get rich quick at the expense of an honest and unsuspecting public. Elgin Motors Pays Dividends. This Company has just declared dividends to its stock-holders. The men who are at the head of this company are well known in high financial circles. The best proof that stock in this company is a good investment aside from the fact that dividends have already been declared, is that orders have been placed for more cars than they will be able to produce in the coming year, notwithstanding the fact "they never sleep."

New York, March 7, 1920—Recent improvements in the educational systems in some of the Southern States, and especially provision for more education for Negro populations, in which the General Education Board has cooperated, are described in the annual report of the board, an installment of which was made public yesterday. After telling of several conferences held with educational authorities in Southern States the report continues: "Surveys now in progress in Virginia, Alabama and North Carolina were also reported. From these surveys several results may be confidently anticipated. Further interest in public education will be enlisted; State laws will be modified, simplified and improved; State expenditures will be increased; and perhaps made acutely conscious of the constitutional hindrances and limitations by which progressive efforts are now halted. Some have already been wiped away, others will disappear as campaigns of enlightenment proceed." ALDERMAN JACKSON INTRO DUCED ORDER IN CITY COUNCIL IN INTEREST OF 2ND WARD. ORDERED, that the Committee on Public Health be and it is hereby directed to take up for consideration the location of public comfort stations at 35th street and State street and at 35th street and Grand boulevard, and that the Commissioner of Public Works be directed to include provision for such stations in his estimates for the year 1920 or that the Committee on Finance be requested to include a sufficient sum for such stations in the Budget for the year 1920. Passed at Meeting of City Council, March 3rd, 1920. LABOR NOTES By John Riley, A. F. of L. Organizer "Life" is a quality or character which distinguishes an animal or a plant from inorganic or dead organic bodies; state, quality or fact of being alive; exercises of vital activities; a living being, a person; living collectively; the vital force distinguishing organic from inorganic matter; conscious existence, as a quality of the soul; the series of experiences, of the body and mind, in the life history of an animal; duration of life; way or manner of living; human affairs; living form or semblance; animation; spirit; that which imparts or excites spirit or vigor period of active or effective duration of anything. "Liberty" as applied with restriction, embodies a combination of various elements necessary for the enjoyment of an individual or a group This Company has just declared dividends to its stock-holders. The men who are at the head of this company are well known in high financial circles. The best proof that stock in this company is a good investment aside from the fact that dividends have already been declared, of individuals that are not calculated to cause any restrictions or restraint in seeking the personal enjoyment as affecting the masses of people in their movement within certain bounds unrestricted, that would produce what would be satisfying to their desire. The various phases embodied in the word "Liberty" are as broad, and as extensive as the universe, in their application, and if such unrestricted privileges are enjoyed by those desiring to live in peace and harmony with their fellow men, then this liberty is of the most affective and constructive kind. "Labor" is a form of recreation, varied occupations and activities necessary in the every day life. Working men and women, public and private officials are in some form or other considered laborers. The renumeration for same should be in due proportion to the value of the service rendered society, and there should be no attempt on the part of any individual or group of individuals to subjugate the activities of one, and deprive them of the fruits of their toil, which are utilized as a means of creating much of the happiness and comforts that the advance of civilization has made possible for the human family to enjoy. In the midst of the fruits of bountiful nature, there should be no paupers or subjects of charity, there should be no people with parasitical intentions who will, if permitted, grow rich and live in luxury from the proceeds of others' toil. Since we have institutions for the appre-Gal. 3..WHIP—March 16—Chlum. hension of criminals, these institutions are rightfully a product of the present state of affairs, and are filled with people who have been driven in many instances into lives of crime, and under circumstances that they are powerless to prevent. Then these institutions only serve as a means of apprehending a product of the system that creates criminals by the wholesale. People having known criminal tendencies who have shown no disposition or intention to earn an honest living where opportunities for wholesome employment were possible, should be placed in an institution and kept indefinitely, and then society owld be relieved of the necessity of providing for people who have such tendencies. Life in its exceptionable forms depends altogether on the amount of liberty that is assured the individuals or groups as a result of useful labor performed. No one is entitled to anything that they do not help to create, and if the creative forces of wage earners was brought together and united in the Co-operative Movement, we would have as near an approach of perfect conditions as can be possible under the present order of things, and that remain in effect for the benefit of the masses, placing them all on the same economic level through the Co-operative Movement, or the only movement in which all wage earners can share equally in the product of their toil.

Colonel Roscoe Simmons was disgracefully defeated in Kentucky for Delegate At Large, to the National Republican Convention. It is not surprising to us that this oratorical windjammer, nature faker, and hot air artist, who has irritated to injury the intelligence of the race by appointing himself the "leader" of 15,000,000 colored people was defeated. While glorying in this miasmic dream, aided and abetted, by "The World's Greatest WEAKLY," he has burlesqued the colored man in public life and nauseated every right thinking individual in the country who has either heard or read his childish undeveloped vaporings. He has just reaped the first fruits of his misguided and fruitless activities and the first note of his dismal death dirge has been sounded. We have not the slightest doubt that if Simmons were appraised by the intelligent men and women of the race, the best classification above a lunatic or a member of the Simian family accorded him, would be a second rate mimicking entertainer and buffoon. It is certainly gratifying to know that the masses of our General Assembly, to which he convinced of the justice of the cause people can over night conform it from under the anaesthetic influence of his oratorical bunk and vote like free men for a man of merit and intelligence. It is the sign that NEW CROWD has been watching for and working for. It is the "handwriting on the wall" for Simmons and all of the OLD CROWD "misleaders." The old adage that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" is especially applicable to the "Colonel" in his wild and senseless career. He has played for five years the role of single-handed bandit and stumped this country from stem to stern, while styling himself as the mouthpiece of the race has peddled his gaseous mouthings at the criminally exorbitant rate of 35 and 50 cents per head. The Government would not charge war tax at these meetings as they collect on legitimate entertainments. Jesse James used revolvers and will go down in history as a figure, but the day is near when the name of Roscoe Simmons will be lost from speech. When he ran out of gas, (which is strangest of all,) he contrived to get passage to France in order to get more bunk to replace his school boy, stereotype talk. The NEW CROWD press followed the lead of the Chicago Whip and turned the searchlight on this simpering imposter. He then formed his alliance with Bob Church of Memphis, a man of wealth and skillfully used him as a catspaw to establish the Lincoln League. At a recent convention in Chicago thousands of dollars were magically drawn from the pockets of the poor working people and others who had been gently lulled into sweet sleep by Simmons and the money has been converted to the highest and best interests of Simmons and his faithful henchmen. Believing in the law of compensation, we did not make mention of Simmons and his "hold up" in Chicago. We thought that his advisers knew his many weaknesses and would attempt to keep him within the bounds of common sense. Not so, however. He was allowed to go to Kentucky, where according to the "Cleveland Advocate" he has not resided long enough to know the way from his house to the Post Office and try and build a superstructure of magnificence with his soothing syrup lispings. Thanks to the manhood of Dr. George and the independent spirit of the colored voters of Kentucky, this masterpiece of unscrupulous humanity has been checked. The NEW CROWD press can take new courage. They helped to crystallize the public sentiment into intelligent assertiveness. The OLD GANG and particularly THE BIG FOUR in Chicago will do well to watch the "Signs of the times" and profit by the experience of the Colonel. KENTUCKY JURY CONDONES MOB SPIRIT A Kentucky grand jury has failed to indict members of a mob who were halted in their dastardly attempt to take the law in their hands, and indulge in their favorite pastime, by the intervention of Governor Morrow, and the militia of the state of Kentucky. The evidence in the case was clear, and there was no question of fact as to the guilt of the hoodlums. The grand jury admitted that the testimony warranted indictments, but justified its spineless attitude by pleading that to issue indictments "would intensify a situation already acute." THE CHICAGO WHIP This plea is a sorry confession of weakness and an admission that the citizens of that jurisdiction are not yet ready for self-government. The grand jury openly admits that the people of that locality will not tolerate the administration of justice among them and justify the implication that Federal troops should still be stationed in Kentucky just as they were after the civil war. It had been hoped that the courage and fearlessness of Governor Morrow was characteristic of the majority of the people in Kentucky, but the hope has not been met, and we are convinced that the spirit of Governor Morrow is only as the beautiful water-lily that blooms and flourishes in a pool of slime. WOMEN----THE MOTHERS OF MEN The colored women in America are going to play an important part in the evolution of the quasi economical-political life of the race. War exigencies have opened avenues to them in the economic world and the Susan B. Anthony Suffrage Amendment will give them partial political emancipation. The status of the colored woman is to be what she is capable of demanding. The fibre and moral strength of all races is attributable directly to the influence of its womanhood. Women have always been "the builders of men." It is at their shrine that inspiration is gathered and visions conceived. Women are physiological different to men. Emotions are more in evidence, and softness of temperament and nature are ruling qualities. The eyes of colored American manhool are raised to the women in this abnormal reconstructive period for vigor, stamina and inspiration. In shaping their own destinies, the destinies of the race will be shapened. The moral status is to be controlled by the economic leverage that the feminine strength can create in the new industrial world. If concentrated effort and necessary efficiency is reached, the women will become fixtures and indispensable. When they become indispensable they can bargain collectively in the labor world. Collective bargaining will give economic strength and economic strength will raise moral standards and depreciate prostitution. In the political world, if the women stay away from graft and corrupt money, their vote will give strength to principles and will win the respect of all republican governmnts. We are sorry to observe that already in Chicago our women have started in for jobs and money and are boss-ridden and machine-made. These women in Chicago are destroying the fabric for further weaving and are setting a precedent that will be cited in all cases where the issue of colored womanhood will be raised. of our The women must not allow their souls to be warp their independence subsidized simply because the men have fallen to this depth of baseness. The women must sit in the high places and beacon the myriads of misguided sons! WOMEN! REMEMBER YOU ARE THE MOTHERS OF MEN! HIGH RENTS AND HIGHWAY ROBBERIES The exceedingly high rents that the masses are being forced to pay has passed the point of endurance. The spirit of good citizenship is being taxed and bored. The loyalty to government is being shaken. The poor citizen is doubtful of the integrity of the men in authority who permit this travesty. The state of Illinois is proud of her lineal heroes, proud of her militaristic glories and proud of her patriotic citizens. IS SHE PROUD OF HER PROFITEERS? If not, let the machinery of the State Government give protection to those who have protected her ideals and her escutcheon. The people are still paying the tax on necessary commodities in order that the war debt may be liquidated. The war is over and we still pay the "war tax" without murmur. The Government no longer controls the railroads, neither does it control "public opinion". The Government of State and the Federation of States must now be controlled by a purified public opinion instead. Public opinion and the suffering hordes of American citizens demand that the Government pass a law regulating rents and profits. The landlords to-day occupy the position of leeches and venomous parasites. The landlord takes a stand that insults our intelligence and defies fundamental justice. The flimsy stand about the increased cost of coal, increased taxes, high price janitor service is a fallacious vituperation intended to deceive and abuse without shame. The price of coal has advanced and the flats in Chicago that have been occupied by the average tenant, particularly colored tenants, have been cold and uncomfortable all winter; janitor service has been a joke and decorations and repairs have been cob-webs, leaks, and falling plaster. If the flats are kept warm, the janitor service perfect and the decorations and repairs satisfactory a five per cent increase, would more than cover this as the colored people have already paid this increase when they took the flats that were occupied by white before them. The proposed 40 and 50 percent increase is offensive both to our sense of justice and our ability to pay. The legislature of New York has passed a bill, regulating this evil. One avaricious profiteer has been thrust in jail. Let us bring moral pressure to bear on our political leaders to introduce this same bill in our own state and abolish HIGH RENTS and HIGHWAY ROBBERIES. WE ASK, "WHY NOT?" Propaganda is a much over-worked word these days and owes its great currency to those two press disreputed sources known as the Kaiser and the Reds. The Negro has a propaganda—Equal Rights, the Same Rights. He has overlooked one thing in properly "getting over" this propaganda. The Reds came from Russia to America. De Valera comes from Ireland and tells America of the wrath alone to Ireland and (Author reserves right to copy). WE CAN DO LITTLE ALONE — WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN DO ANYTHING!

The Hindu comes to New York and attempts to tell America what Great Britain has done to Ireland. Cardinal Mercier comes to America and pleads the case of Belgium. They all bring it to America the "land of the free" (?) When the demands of th Negro are presented and the facts are known, it would appear that the Reds, de Valera, Cardinal Mercier and the Hindus have made a mistake in appeal to "this glorious democracy" and should have known that their country is not so bad after all. We aks now why has not the Negro taken it upon himself to present the facts to these foreign countries, one and all, so that America will not be misunderstood and that all may know about this land of the free and the home of the brave. Truly the Negro has a great mission abroad. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins JOHN JONES. he made the he made the headquarters of those engaged in abolition work; among those with whom he was associated were Wendel Phillips, L. C. P. Freer, Chicago's most prominent attorney, Frederick Douglas, and many other great men of the cause. Frederick Douglas; when in Chicago, made Jones home his stopping place and later preached his funeral oration. John Jones, a native of Raleigh North Carolina, born 1816, came into this world of freeborn parents just plain "John Jones". He was a man o medium stature, quiet and unassuming but possessed those qualities that were characteristic of men born to lead. He was not only a leader of men but one of the greatest forces that the century had produced for the liberation of an enslaved people. He was a christian of the baptist denomination and dedicated his life to the cause of abolition. Many are the stories told of this humble and mighty man of a despised race who out of nothing made something which time nor space will not permit the author to here inscribe, but later, many of the great accomplishments of this wonderful character will appear under other headings. Mr. Jones, was a large real estate owner and was proud of the fact that he was able to purchase the property that happened to be his first stopping place in Chicago; on this property he built a four story business block, offices on the upper floors and stores on the ground floor. The Jones Block was located at 119 Dearborn Street, (old number), and this building stood as a monument to his great endeavor until about ten years ago when it was demolished in order to make way for the new addition of the Boston Store, this consisted of fifty feet of ground South of the Alley, on the East side of Dearborn Street. His residence was located at 116 Edinah Street, now known as Plymouth Place, on Edinah Street, he owned three other pieces of property, later, he built a home further out on the South side on what was called Ray Street, this property still stands and is situated on what is now called 29th Place between Prairie and Calumet Ave. The A few years after the birth of John Jones, his parents moved to Alton, Illinois, to aid in the work of abolition under the tutorship of a sect of Quakers. It was at Alton that Mr. Jones became acquainted with John Brown, who operated a printing office that was later destroyed by "Copper-heads", these men became enraged with the activities of John Brown, burned his printing office and threw the press and type into the Mississippi River. A FEW FACTS wanted a frame house painted white, with green blinds, and when he had accomplished his dream he said: John Jones, was not only recog- "Now God, I shall use it for the purpose of making others happy." John Jones was not only recognized as a great colored man—but he was considered to be one of Chicago's most progressive citizens and the fact that he was elected County Commissioner in 1874, when there was not over nine hundred colored votes in the county of Cook, bears this out in toto. He filled his position of trust with great credit and distinction; when complimented upon for his good acts, he would make reply: "There are thousands of other negro men who are more efficient' and would do as well if not better if given the opportunity." About 1877 he suffered a break of health caused by too close attention to his work, and in 1879 he passed away. His funeral was one of the largest in the history of Chicago, and leading citizens paid homage at his bier. Dr. Raymond, of the First Baptist Church preached the sermon, and Frederick Douglas made the funeral oration. Other than bearing the distinction of being the first colored man elected to executive office he was made a members of the Chicago Historical Society and his picture still hangs on its walls until this day. The life and work of John Jones should serve as more than an inspiration for the many thousands of colored girls and boys who have come to Chicago within the past few years—they are coming to work over "plowed ground" which if cultivated with thrift and industry will return tenfold; success will be easier for them than it was for John Jones—he was compelled to break virgin soil which was hard and packed—it had to be cleared of the brambles that obstruct lifes path, and of these there were many. The opposition he met with were "Copperheads" and "roughnecks", but as venomous as they were, he found the antidote which killed them off—this last wast called "Ceaseless endeavor."
