Over His Exoffice Chambliss, and Mrs. Emmy Ross, who are accused with the abduction and contributing to the deliquency of Bertha Weibek, a white woman aged 22 years are held under $50,000 bonds which Judge Kerstein refused to reduce. Bonds $40,000 more than that given to starter of Race Bios. It is still fresh in our minds, that Stauber, who was the starter and principal cause of last Summer's riots, in which a score of people were killed, and which cost the city many thousands of dollars had his bond fixed at $10,000, which was $40,000 less than that of the colored Policeman who has been charged with this trumped up case. The participants in the riot who were charged with assault with intent to kill had their combs placed with $5,000. And the only two arrests made in the last months during which time 28 colored homes have been bombed, are out on $500 bonds. Chambliss Bond is Race Tax This enormous and unjust bond under which the E. Policeman is held is none JAPAN AND ARGENTINA PLAN FOR TRADE TREATY. Buenos Aires, March 26.—Japan having accepted in principal Argentina's proposal for international free trade in prime necessities of life, the two countries have begun negotiations for the framing of a trade to carry out the plan. Exchanges are now going on between the Japanese minister here and the Argentine foreign minister. NEGRO GETS 12 YEARS FOR New Orleans, March 27.—Arthur Brown, colored, alias Will Smith, alias Tom Green, received a sentence of 12 years in the penitentiary Wednesday in criminal court on a charge of stealing cattle and a mule. During the months of January and February Brown was alleged to have made away with two cows, a calf and a mule. Theft of such animals seems to be quite an accomplishment of Brown, as only recently he was released from the penitentiary after serving a term for the same offense. In passing sentence upon Brown, Judge C. W. Robinson said: "I own a cow myself and so do a number of my friends. It would be well, perhaps, to bear you in mind and when I hear of your finishing this term I believe I shall sell my cow." NEGRO SITS ON JURY IN SOUTH. Dallas, Texas, March 29th. — G. F. Porter stood pat on his rights as an American citizen yesterday and declined to be excused from the jury for the week. As the case stands now, he has has been offered a card entitling him to pay for one day's service and excusing him from further duty. He states that he had been properly summoned for service, is an "American citizen' and wishes to serve. Despite mutterings from other jurors on the panel, he seated himself in the central jury room and remained until noon. No particular discrimination was shown against Porter in excusing him, since several were allowed to go when it was found that both Criminal District Courts have special venues and more jurors were present than will be required for the week. other than a Race Tax, imposed by a partial judge. The Colored people are very indignant over this bold display of Race Taxation. Threat to 'ge' t his job' foundation of case The Chambless case is a trumped up affair the result of a threat to "get his job" and the propaganda caused by the false statements of the Herald and Examiner. Many statements in this paper have been found to be absolutely false and without any foundation whatever. Weibock Women Proven to be 22 Years Old and of Loose Character. Upon tracing up the actions of the white woman it can not be found where she was passed or attempted to pass or claimed to be less than 22 years old, was asked to move from where she lived and lost her jobs because of her loose character. The flimsey charge and ridiculous bond in the case of Chambless show plainly that he has been a victim of "Ruccites" and Race Taxation. Levy Popular Choice in Third Ward. Mr. Robert Levy, candidate for ward committee from the 3rd ward is the popular favorite of the colored voters in that district and they have turned deaf ears to cries from the hand picked candidate of the mayor. Thomson to tear Levy Buttons from Colored Voters. In a speech in the third ward recently it is claimed that his honor mayor gave vent to the statement that if he saw any colored people with Levy buttons that he himself will snatch them off himself. This spirit of violence and subotage is the same spirit that permeated riot hoodlums. Mr. Levy states that he has no such spirit as that but that he is willing to abide by the peoples desires. Mr. Levy, a gentleman of Jewish descent has lived in the 3rd ward for the last twenty six years and always shown a friendly inclination to his darker neighbors he has not allowed himself to become contaminated by anti Negro organizations like the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners Association. And is not subsidized by the Democratic Ald. Schwartz as Bither the other candidate is. Mr. Levy expects to win the election on April the 13th and states that he is going to stand by right regardless to Race, Color or Creed. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 3rd, 1920 Alabama Bars Negroes From Voting In Primaries. Alabama Bars Negroes From Voting In Primaries. Montgomery, Ala., March 29. — Negro voters will not be allowed to participate in the Alabama Democratic primary May 11 under a rulling made today by W. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state Democratic executive committee. This ruling, it was explained, will not prevent colored voters from exercising the right of suffrage in the general election in November. "Uncle Tom" Leaders Tell Lies About I. W. W. In Arkansas. Little Rock, Ark., March 28, 1920.—I. W. W. literature, which is being circulated among the Negroes of Arkansas, was presented at the meeting here of the inter-racial commission by Jos. W. Booker, president of a local Negro college. The literature, adorned with blood spots, says in part: "The workers of every race must join together. Trades unions do not want the Negro, and the I. W. W. admits the Negro to full membership." The commission appointed a committee of Negroes to arrange for meeting of members of their race throughout the state to offset this propaganda. The commission, which was appointed by Governor Browgh and consists of members of both races, also took steps to arrange for special protection for Booker and other Negroes who signed a petition asking the governor of Kansas to grant requisition papers for the return to Aarkansas of Robert Hill, alleged leader in the Elaine uprising. The lives of Booker and other Negro signers, it was reported, have been threatened. Augustus L. Williams Gains Over His Opponents. A. L.Williams, the man who stayed at the Coroner's inquest for 87 days during the Riot Trials last fall is being rewarded for his great sacrifices for his people by their wholesouled support of him in the race for the National convention. Mr. Williams, is opposed by a white property owner who has raised the rents of colored people in the second ward. One tenant stated to a WHIP reporter that he would rather vote for Ben Tillman who is in the other world than vote for a man who is taking bread from his family's mouth by raising his rent in the little flat that shelters his dear ones. Williams Opposed to Cowards. Williams stated to the same reporter that He had no sympathy for a moral coward and he was going to fight to the last inch to give his race the things that they are entitled to. He further states that no man is his boss and he is going to be controlled only by the desires of the people. He is not of the same class as Oscar DePriest who betrayed his trust to the people and disobeyed their requests. Williams states that the common people are his people and that the blue stockings and Aristocrats can vote for whom they choose. Williams wil be elected by an overwhelming majority. Anti-Mob Bill Signed With Gold Pen. Frankfort, Ky., March 29.—In the presence of Dr. E. E. Underwood and a delegation of Negro citizens of this city, Governor Morrow last night, signed the bill of Senator Jay Harlan to punish mob violence, provide for removal of peace officer who surrenders prisoner, making fact prima facie evidence and directing the Governor by proclamation to remove him from office. The gold pen used by the Governor when he signed the bill is the property of Dr. Underwood. Colored People Ask For Share In World Democracy. Along With Respectful Trees, India, Corea, Egypt and Ireland, League Asks One for Colored Americans. Boston, Mass., March 29, 1920—Consistently and steadily pursuing the Quest of Colored America for share in the world democracy, as a last effort on the Senate until after the Fall elections, when reservations were offered for India, Corea, Egypt and Ireland, the National Equal Rights League, through its secretary, Monroe Trotter, has sent to Senator David I. Walsh, a treaty reservation which would assure to all thigh inhabitants of the allied and associated powers full and complete protection of life and liberty without distinction of nationality, race, color or religion. The reservation reads as follows: "And the United States of America further understands that in order to make the reign of peace universal and lasting and to make the fruits of the war effective in the establishment of true democracy everywhere, the allied and associated powers undertake, each in its own country, to assure full and complete protection of life and liberty to all their inhabitants, without distinction of nationality, race, color or religion, and agree that all their citizens, respectively, shall enjoy the same civil and political rights without distinction as to race or religion and that all citizens who belong to racial or religious minorities differing in race, color or religion from the majority of the population shall enjoy the same treatment and security in law and in fact as all persons of the majority race, color or religion." BIBLES OR BULLETS. Pittsburgh, Pa., March 29th. "Bibles or Bullets, Religion or riots." These are the alternatives confronting America in the race question, declared Dr. R. W. McGranahan, secretary of the board of Freedmen's church several months ago in presenting the race problem for consideration in the program of the New World Movement of the denomination. A decision to raise $847,537 for educational, social and religious work among the Negroes is the answer of the church to the challenge, announces Dr. McGranahan. Five dollars of this sum will be expended on Knoxville College, at Knoxville, Tennessee, where 381 Negro girls and boys are being given college courses or instruction in sewing, domestic science, printing, woodworking, carpentry, broom making, nursing, baking and farming.

UCKY Man On Phone Then Sing "Olducky Home." Grant Smith, a colored man, held for alleged assault of a white woman, was taken from the officers at Pris Kentucky and hanged to a Telephone Post. Grant Smith was arrested in Pontiac, Michigan and carried back to Kentucky. He claimed to know nothing about the crime and the woman did not identify him as the man who has assoulted her. Promised Protection. When Grant was arrested, he was promised protection and a fair trail and was arrested as a suspect not as the man who had committed the crime. As soon as word reached the citizens that the officers were on the way with a man who had been arrested in Michigan, who came formerly from Kentucky recently and was known to have lived there a short time ago, a mob formed and with little difficulty took the prisoner from the officers. William Yancey Mills, has been sentenced to die for the murder of Isidor Gansky and Tor. Brizzolari 7 two storekeepers in the loop whom he killed last summer. Mills' crime, once some in the extreme, aroused the whole city, and remained a deep mystery for some time. Mills had beaten his victims to death with a piece of gas pipe at a time when the district was practically deserted and made his escape without raising an alarm. Fled to Philadelphia.

Definite plans had not been completed as to what particular style they would use to put the prisoner to death. 'Burn him to the Stake' was proposed, but the preparation of such a feat had not been given due notice and well in fact the majority of the 'mob seemed to think that too much trouble for this particular occasion so it was quickly decided to hang him and a Pole being closer than a tree a rope was thrown over and the man hanged. Quickly done The Lynching was a rather ordinary and quite one and was over before the majority of the people was aware that an arrest had been made. After the man was lynched. The mob huddled close together and joyfully sang "My Old Kentucky Home." Large Sum Left To Howard University by Colored Man. DR. GEORGE W. CABINESS ESTATE VALUED AT $50,000. Washington, D. C., March 30. — The will of Dr. George W. Cabiness, prominent colored physician, dated June 13, 1912, was filed Monday for was given to Union University at probate.

His brothers, sisters and a niece of his wife are to share in the distribution of $2,600. The remaining estate was devised to his wife, Louisa R. Cabiness, who was also named as executrix. The estate was estimated at $50,000. To those who knew Dr. Cabiness, the bequests made in his will are a natural sequence of his life work, and form only a small part of his and uplift of mankind. He rendered gifts in the interests of the education long service on the board of directors of the Twelfth street branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. During the early part of the world war he voluntarily relinquished a lucrative practise to devote his services to a Y. M. C. A. branch at a camp in Des Moines, Iowa, where he was acci der tely known as father of the boys who were under training for commi sion. Later, at Camp Meade, M. C. d, he was active in teaching a promoting higher morals and chie nger among the soldiery, until the h. ntering out was completed. Dr. Cabiness, educated and cultured to the highest degree, was a self-made man, on his prosperity and material su ccess, reached a point where most men s. down to the enjoyment of good things of this world, Dr. Cabiness turned to philanthropic endeavors, sacrificing the fruits of his labor, and he has reaped the reward of love from all who knew Sewickley Club, of Cornopolis, Pa. went down to defeat on their own floor last week at the hands of the Pittsburgh Scholasties by the count of 55-12.

The text of the telegrams is as follows: Reports from various sources to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People inform us that residences of Negroes are being bombed in Chicago and that a feeling of dangerous bitterness is growing up in consequence among the colored people who are determined to defend their homes and their families.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AGE PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TA STAGE R The concert given by the Palestine Troupe at Orchestra Hall on Monday Evening, March 22nd was very interesting. The Troupe left Palestine two years ago on a tour of the world. It consists of a string quartet, a pianist and a clarinetist. Their object is a splendid one — to build in their native land a Temple of Art to further the development of their music and art. The audience was small but very appreciative — as was evidenced by the hearty applause and the repeated call for encores of several numbers. A SWEDISH CONCERT. The Swedish Choral Club of Chicago gave an excellent concert on March 24th—their last public appearance before leaving on a tour to Scandinavia. The singers were in splendid form and the tonal harmony of the chorus was excellent. Mr Edgar Nelson, the conductor is a spirited leader and receives enthusiastic response. RICHARD CZERNOVSKY, VIOLINIST Two concertos in one program are extremely taxing to the performer and are apt to the seem very heavy for an audience but Richard Czernovsky, in his violin recital at Kimball Hall on March 25 played them so easily and with such finished technic and enviable artistry that they were a joy to all who heard tehm. The concertos were the E minor by Mardini and the D minor of Busch. Mr. Czernovsky played several of his own compositions. One of the most enjoyable of these was the "Two Modern Sketches". T. HEODORE TAYLOR, PIANIST. Mr. Taylor gave his annual recital on Monday Evening, March 29th at Grace Presbyterian Church. An enthusiastia audience welcomed him and his assistants—Mrs. Willie M Sloan, Soprano and Mrs. Fetella C. Bonds, accompanist. The opening number of the program was the Keltic Sonata of McDowell. The two movements played formed a sharp but very pleasing contrast and demonstrated Mr. Taylor's ability to correctly and easily intercept the vicious moods of the composer. Especially en. were the "Troubled in Mind" by Coleridge-Taylor and the Chopin Necturne in C-minor. Mrs. Sloan's singing was of the highest order. She possesses a voice of rare natural sweetness and wide range. Evidently her training has been exceptionally good. Her diction is quietless and her happy choice of numbers was a delight to the audience. The accompaniment were splendidly played by Mrs. Born. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, A "The Right o WITH BERT LYTE THE STORY THAT THRILL VENDOME TH Saturday Night April 3rd, 1920 SMITH'S NOVELTY JAZZ ORCHESTRA from Lexington, Kentucky will furnish MUSIC MUSIC Community Singing When one is bereaved or weary there is nothing more consoling than the soft strains of some musical instrument, or the metodious cadence of the human voice. Long before the days of the Pied Piper, and certainly ever since everything that lives, moves and has its being in the universe, responds to the appeal of music. Some scientists believe very thorously in "the music of the spheres"—and in these days of advanced science we hear and read of "Musical therapeutics" by which miraculous cures have been made thru the power of the music. Of the races, the Negro race is said to be the most musical. We express our joys and our sorrows in song. This is a rich legacy handed down to us by our forefathers who so beautifully express themselves in the best use of this great legacy of this way. That we may cultivate and make ours, a department of COMMUNITY MUSIC has been organized at the South Side Community Centre, 3201 S. Wabash. Here on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 8 o'clock, all persons desiring instruction in the elements of harmony, sight singing, and voice culture, may receive this training without cost by seeing Mrs. Gaines, or Miss Pauline Lee, the Music Director. Also, those desiring instruction and training in orchestral work have a wonderful and unusual opportunity offered them in the organization of a Community Orchestra, which is being organized and developed by Mrs. Gaines, and Prof. Chas. Elgar, a well known music master of this city, who will meet applicants for this work on Tuesday evenings at 8 o'clock. Chicago ought to be able to afford a 100 piece community orchestra. Prof. Elgar believes we can, and says, "we will." Community Service believes that this new department of Community Music will mean much to the community if with interest and co-op... the community will seek to take advantage of what this department offers, and in turn determines what the Community can give itself in music.

A very healthy gentleman and his wife stopping at the Morrison Hotel rang for a bell boy, "wishing to have his suit pressed." He thought that he heard a knock at the door. Putting his suit on his arm, he opened the door. A nosey night detective, standing in the dark, seeing a man with his suit "on his arm" drew his own conclusions. The gentleman, closing the door, remarked to his wife, "A false alarm, dear." The brainless detective with his ear "glued" to the key hole, hears "false alarm, dear." He knows that he has a clean case, knocks on the door, and demands that the couple leave the hotel, which they willingly do. A jury awarded them a $9,000 verdict as a salve. Harry Mohr awarded the brainless detective with a perfectly good discharge. This department, in an article last week, explained to the gaping public why Buck Weaver kicked up. We further said that when he had a talk with Comiskey, he would rejoin the team. Well, he saw Comiskey and he is on his way back to work again. One more prediction! If Risberg is satisfied and consents to play when he joins the team, with the young pitchers that "Kid Gleason" has picked up, the team that beats this aggregation will win the pennant.

He appeared to three men, an Irishman, a colored man and a Jew. They doubted his pow. "he colored man gets a bucket of yater, saying: 'If you are Christ, turn this into wine.' The Jew had a handful of glass and said, 'Turn these into diamonds.' The Irishman did not know what he wanted, but he wanted more proof than that. Christ said, "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I grant each of you the long prized wish of your youth." To the Irishman, he said, "Now, what do you want?" The Irishman replied that he wanted a $500,000 contract, half finished and enough money to finance the completion of it. The lord clapped his hands and there was a 30 story building, half completed, hundreds of men working and a pile of money as large as a bag of cement at the feet of the Irishman. The Lord asked the colored man what he wanted. He wanted $200,000 in one dollar bills and the address of the best box-backed coat maker in town. The Jew was asked what he wanted. The Jew said, "Just give me that colored man's address. HERE HE IS 1 Torriente, who slammed offerings of Big League Pitches to all corners of the lot, to play in our League this season.

The management of the Hilldale club has now completed the lineup of the baseball team for 1929. The signing of Louis Santop, the big catching star, rounds out what appears too be the strongest semi-professional lineup in this section of the country. Santop is a star who is known all over the country for his heavy hitting powers as well as his ability behind the bat. He played with Hilldale in 1918, but last year he managed the Brooklyn Royal Giants after being discharged from the navy well after the season had started. This year Hilldale will initiate a new move among semi-professional teams. That is, they will operate three parks, Camden and Wilmington, in addition to their home grounds in Darby. The management has leased the Camden A.C. grounds, at Third and Erie streets, Camden, for Wednesday afternoon ball games. They will open the park there on May 26th, by playing the New York Shipbuilding team. The following Wednesday, June 2nd, they have booked the famous Klein Chocolate team. With such games as these in view baseball across the river should take on a new aspect, as the management plans to furnish nothing but the best attractions at all the parks. There's a certain National League ball club which has had two members set down for keeps for baseball gambling; another member was recently pinched for alleged auto stealing; still another player is arguing with a bigamy charge; another of the boys recently served a short sentence; still another was necused of wire-tapping, and two more were lately gathered in for operating a roulette wheel. What would be a good nickname for that particular club.. Chicago Journal. NEGRO ATHLETES By Charles P. Howard. The writer was a member of the Championship - Tuskegee Baseball Teams of 1912 and 13, and at present is a member of the Football, Base-ball and Track Teams of Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, during which time he has been a close friend and team mate of Howard P. Drew, the famous Colored Sprinter, who has given him the benefit of his very broad athletic experience; and also while serving in France, during the war, was brought in contact with many of our boys who have made athletic history and of which we will tell more in the future. Our people are so widely scattered over this country that one section probably knows very little of the achievements of the other. Their activities are as many and as varied as any other class of citizens. It is the aim of the writer to bring before the country, and our people in particular, the achievements of colored athletes during the last decade. We believe it would be a source of knowledge to the older ones, inspiration to the younger ones, and pride to all, to know of these achievements. Since we are going to deal primarily with amateur athletics, we will confine ourselves almost wholly to those members of our race who have attended Universities and Colleges throughout the country, and who, from thier constant association with other races, are creating a feeling of comradeship and better understanding. The boys who are making these records are confined to no particular section of the country. Many of them come from Southern schools and not only make enviable records for themselves in competition, but return to their Alma Mater and are equally successful in the development of other athletes. A recitation of the difficulties and some of the privations experienced by these boys and of the results attained, sound more like fiction than real life. The old adage, that you get out of the game what you put in it, is as true in athletics as in any other line of endeavor. Permit me to cite a few of the outstanding features of the Negro athletes achievements in the last few years: An eminent sportswriter said, in 1913, that if the Colored Track athletes, competing at that time, could be brought together and a team chosen from them, it would be strong enough to defeat any College Team or Athletic Club in the United States, and would have taken at least two-thirds of the First Places. In 1915, a Half Mile Relay Team chosen from the Colored sprinters competing at that time, could have defeated any Relay Team in the country, and have set a new World's Record, as each man could do better than 22 seconds in the 220. There is one class of events in which the Negro seems particularly adapted and that is the sprints. There are many reasons for this, chief among which are the facts, that the Negro is of a nervous and excitable temperament, requisites which are primarily essential in a sprinter; also a less rigorous and exacting course of training is necessary in this class of events than in others, and finally, it was in this class of events that Negroes first made a success, and this inspired others to try the same. In fact, all the records in running races held by our people, are confined to races not greater than a quarter mile. There has been no time in the past ten years but what a Colored athlete has been a member of some College Team in the United States, and a Point Winner. They have secured points in every Inter-Collegiate or National A. A. U. and World's Records. There is one goal, however, which they have not attained, and this is an Olympic Championship. This is the ambition of every track athlete. We have had members of Olympic Teams, but we have never had a winner, although we have had men who have beaten Olympic winners. However, in the Inter-Allied Games in France last June, we had a winner in the Broad Jump, and in winning it he came within two inches of the World's Record. Heretofore we have dealt largely with track athletes, but there are other branches of athletics in which the Negro has proven his ability beyond a doubt, and has gained the highest honors. There is no branch of athletics that commands the admiration of the public more than Football. The highest award possible is to be placed on Walter Camp's All-American Football Team. Two Negroes have achieved this distinction and at least a half dozen others have been second and third choices, and indication is that this number will constantly increase. (To be continued.)

L. K. Williams The Negro realizes his need of and passionately desires improvement. On this point, Mr. J. H. Dillard, writing the introduction to the United States Government publication on "Negro Migration," says: "The desire of any people or class of people to improve their condition of living is a natural and healthy desire. The migration of Negroes from one part of the country to another, like all racial and popular migrations in history, expresses such desire and effect. Whether the movement results in the desired advancement is another matter. In any case, the desire and effort, however originated, deserve commendation, not condemnation." When the migration movement was highest, the Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, received many letters from prospective migrants. An examination of 464 of these show the following as causes why the writers desired to come North. Better wages, eighty-five; better housing conditions, forty-eight; better educational advantages, 123; better laboring conditions, thirty-one; fears of lynching, seventy-four; political and civic justice, forty-six; to escape oppression and Jim Crow laws, thirty-four; threatened and property damaged or destroyed, fourteen; to be traveling and see the country, nine. Figures compiled by the United States Labor Department in 1917 show that sixty-nine out of seventy-seven Mississippi Negro migrants were at work, three not working because of illness. The Negro knows the traditional history and the attitude of the North toward him. He has thought of it as a thrilling fact. He loves all men, and believes in this section's love of right and justice. He is keenly responsive, and his wise leadears desire and see co-operation. He speaks this country's language, practices its every custom, is loyal to this government, is no hyphenate, but is a "one soul" American citizen, to the manner born. He is religious, believes in the only true God, having more than 5,000,000 members in "old line" long to aBptist churches, this being the largest Baptist group in teh world and many more than all the Negroes combined belonging to churches of all other denominations. The Negro has between 8 and 9 per cent of his total wealth invested in church and religious property, while the wealthier race has but little ans in Huan 3 per cent of its wealth thus invested. Some Disadvantages By some, the Negro's former state of slavery is not forgotten, nor has he been forgiven for that enforced humiliation and its present, though swiftly departing, consequences. Slavery has always made a deep chasm between its promoters and the enslaved, and fomented a type of class prejudice no less reckless and irritational than strong and unyielding. Race marks and the Negro's color are counted by many as a badge of dishonor, inferiority, and just grounds for opposition to him. Many Negroes of very light color enter places where darker ones cannot, and are employed in large institutions which maintain as a policy, "No Negro people employed here." To base an inter-racial policy on color and not character, on previous conditions and not present race worth, is an unphilosophical thing and serves as a powerful deterrent to a young race's rightful, ambitious and lawful strivings. Mr. Benjamin J. Rosenstein of Chicago said: "We are 'our brother's keeper,' and the sooner we realize that race, creed and color do not make a jot of difference, that a man stands or falls by virtue of his character, and that character, after all, is the test, the sooner will we make life happier, not only for others, but for ourselves." He could have said with added force and the more rightful dynamic: "Because we are our own brother's brother, we should apply correct standards in estimating human values." The Housing Question. Greed and avarice, exhibited in charging the Negro higher rents than others pay for the same property, are a logical sequence of not applying to him. "A man's a man for a' that." This has forced Negro people into unsanitary houses where overcrowding is practiced because of such rents and the scarcity of good Calls Promptly Answered Chicago, Ill. THE CHICAGO WHIP This will be a wise and logical analysis, a courageous and an untramplied treatment of present complex, political Chas. Klein Co. 4706 S. State St. houses. In many cities, the localities in which Negro people live are poorly improved and more poorly kept. They are often the "political pawn" of politicians, the scenes of license for things outlawed and driven from other portions of cities, the coverts for idlers, and the rendezvous of the worst elements of all races. These conditions are urged by many as reasonable grounds for more distant race contact in the matter of housing. But these are symptoms and not causes, and they should be uprooted. This can be done only when a proper estimate is given to every type of humanity. Chicago tried the dangerous housing experiment of placing about 125,000 Negroes in the quarters formerly provided for 50,000. They broke through all imaginary housing lines and rented and purchased houses where they could. This, some claim, was the cause of the late Chicago riots. I cannot see how men who study causes and causes can come to such conclusions. It is reported throughout the city that Catholics, Jews, Poles and some other groups depreciate property values. This being true, let us pause and ask why these groups are not dealt with as are Negroes, against whom a similar charge is made? Nobody bombs the houses of the former groups, and nobody seeks to stop them in their lawful efforts to preserve their own lives. This reasoning leads back to the fundamental cause of the antagonism between white and Negro people—a bad mental attitude growing out of the Negro's former state of slavery and the fact of his color. For neither of these conditions can any just man hold the Negro responsible. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday was Quarterly meeting at Quinn, a large audience attended all the services.

The cardinal point difficulty being, wage slavery, capitalistic exploitation and oradic and non-coherent organization. These added together As a group, the Negro has an economic difficulty. This difficulty can be divided and subdivided. The cardinal points of difficulty being, wage slavery, capitalistic exploitation and sporadic and non-coherent organization. These added together amount to a lack of unified economic force. The economic difficulty in its last and final analysis can be termed economic frailty. The Negro is very frail and weak as an independent economic group. If the Negro had group strength in the Labor World and in the entire economic field, he could elevate himself in political and social spheres; he could finance his own political campaigns, support his own churches and schools and utilize a large percentage of his own labor. It is scientifically admitted that the economic inertia of the Negro is his greatest problem. The Negro race is not going to be lifted out of its economic rut by the white philanthropists nor by moral pressure and emotional appeals to public opinion. Every historical analogy that is preserved by human genius proves the above. The race will be lifted out of its rut by its own substantial energy and applied dynamics. The question then arises as to the proper methods to be used. A cursory sociological survey results in the conclusion that the "leaders" alone can elevate the masses, awake the class consciousness. Every group must have its federal heads and its superior brain. These federal heads and superior brains must be of the group, from the group and for the group. The brains of the black man must create the economic strength that will give the black group its desired and necessary status. It is a well known fact that we have produced men of vision and men of might. These men have been shelved and side tracked into mediocre positions where opportunity for real service has been curtailed and where freedom for expansion has been subsidized because of expediency to their position. Negro brains have been misused and the progress of the great race group has been injured. Eighteen colored men are employed by the Urban League as executive secretaries. These men are supposedly in the vocational field of civic miprovement and for the improvement of general group well fare. The League proposes "to stabilize Negro wage earners" and gain for them a fairer consideration both by their employers and by their white fellow-workman. The Urban League is mainly supported by white Philanthropy. The work is necessary. However, it is a dissipation of brains and talent for eighteen of our most brilliant men. The pampered few from Harvard, Yale and Columbia to occupy secretarial positions. One great factory or one great department store would elevate the race more in 10 years than the Urban League in 20 years. The race needs those eighteen men to promote big business, to cement practical ideas, to create racial respect. The Urban League secretarial jobs can be filled by men of mediocre brains and less highly trained talents. Some of its sponsors and executives are mediocre and have not missed their calling, but the majority of the "class orators", masters of arts and doctors of philosophy should not forever dignify secretarial positions. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a wonderful and commendable association, has taken five of our greatest minds into its fold. The N. A. A. C. P. is attacking mob violence, Jim Crow laws and discrimination and also strikes at the economic background behind these evils. It strikes with powerful propaganda and philosophical bitterness in the appeal to perverted public opinion. The N. A. A. C. P. is great in its sphere. A great drive in big business will give us a better opportunity to change public opinion of white America than all of the vitriolic railery of the N. A. A. C. P. Use one of our greatest genuii, or maybe two. Give us back the other three that we may organize and encompass the millions of black dollars that foreigners wax fat off and exploiters revel with. One Black Henry Ford, or John Wanamaker in New York or Detroit would help more than 50 Du Boises. There is no omnipotent panacea or cure for all our economic difficulty. Propaganda and appeal to conscience is one thing. Organization like banks and insurance companies is another. Let the oratory of the N. A. A. C. P. leaders be thrown into race organization and the heart of the solid south will be touched with more force than by "the opinions of W. E. B. Du Bois." We appeal to our great organizations to turn over to the race some of the brains they misuse. POLITICAL CRISIS IN THE THIRD WARD The political situation in the Third Ward has a peculiar and significant interest to the colored citizens of that District. THE CHICAGO WHIP AGE OF THE Of Ward Committeeman, colored citizens must candidates upon their records alone, without should not forget the insults and indignities thrown upon him within the confines of that support of a candidate, they must select aide promises and who has always shown that and mentally right on the race question. Levy, a gentleman of Jewish extraction, has defect for twenty-six years and has at all times inadvertent action, given the colored people, hair-mindedness and clean cut attitude to all not allowed himself to become contaminated, insidious organizations like the Hyde Park and Yew Owners Association. Being a student of social sciences, is firmly convinced much oppression will destroy the fabric of He is at least worthy of favorable consideration, another candidate, is the gentleman who man Swartz, who is the attorney for the Hyde Park Association. This Swartz is a Democrat foreign extraction, is a most rabid Negro hatter. Mr. Bither used his public influence to subordinate candidate for Alderman to withdraw leaving the unworthy Swartz in the field by man of public affairs it is inconceivable to us would support this man if he was friendly to people. Upon this fact alone, it would be a vote of colored people to elect Mr. Bither central Committee. Williams, the other candidate in the tri-cornered committed himself upon the question. His came however, one Mr. Clark, is said to be a member and pernicious association known as the Hyde Park Association. Mr. Williams, being thus unaware, cannot go right on the race question. One for 55 years to the polls blindfolded, but uncovered and we see the political situation now information and abstract fact. In the support we believe that we are supporting principles not parties and men. A race issue is at stake, to be decided. Let us vote for a square deal. Mr. Levy in our examination of fact appears to be those necessary civic requisites. LAW IS VINDICATED' Consonorous caption the Editor of the Houston 25, twists a despicable travesty upon justice which exhibited the remarkable self-restraint qualities of the citizens, or more properly, of Texas. The facts of the matter were man, accused of assassinating a white man, was tried, convicted, sentenced, and executed—singly short space of twenty four hours. Congratulates the people of San Augustine for splendid conduct during the "trying situation, indeed, we wonder whether the prosse the jury, or the executioner himself knew about. He further says that the State of Texas a humiliation, in that the colored man was not therefore assumes that under ordinary circumcised man would certainly have been lynched,mitting that there is ordinarily no law for an man in Texas except the lynch law. ations are of no more importance or weight of a wild ass upon the barren and sandy hills but what is worthy of more serious consideration although we live in a country where the of legal procedure is one of the inviolable citizen of that country, and where due process not only trial by jury, but calm deliberation with the gravity of the offense, in this case so "law" in wreaking legal vengeance upon the cry cog of the tortuous and complicated procedure turned so perfectly and so swiftly was completed in the unbelievable space of not lynched at the hands of an angry mob, he was lynched by an angry and vindictive mask of legal methods. Justice under duress, even though it is meted out in accordance and ceremonies guaranteed under the Connited States. AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT In the selection of Ward Committeeman, colored citizens must consider the candidates upon their records alone, without prejudice or bias. The Negro should not forget the insults and indignities that have been thrown upon him within the confines of that district. In their support of a candidate, they must select a man who has made promises and who has always shown that he was morally and mentally right on the race question. Mr. Robert Levy, a gentleman of Jewish extraction, has lived in the district for twenty-six years and has at all times, by intentional or inadvertent action, given the colored people evidence of his fair-mindedness and clean cut attitude to all people. He has not allowed himself to become contaminated and defiled by insidious organizations like the Hyde Park and Kenwood Property Owners Association. Mr. Levy, being a student of social sciences, is firmly convinced that too much oppression will destroy the fabric of good citizenship. He is at least worthy of favorable consideration. Mr. Bither, another candidate, is the gentleman who supported Alderman Swartz, who is the attorney for the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association. This Swartz is a Democrat, and although of foreign extraction, is a most rabid Negro hater. It is alleged that Mr. Bither used his public influence to subsidize the Republican candidate for Alderman to withdraw from the race, leaving the unworthy Swartz in the field by himself. Being a man of public affairs it is inconceivable to us how Mr. Bither could support this man if he was friendly disposed to colored people. Upon this fact alone, it would be a prostitution of the votes of colored people to elect Mr. Bither to the County Central Committee. Mr. Arch Williams, the other candidate in the tri-cornered race, has never committed himself upon the question. His campaign manager, however, one Mr. Clark, is said to be a member of that insidious and pernicious association known as the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association. Mr. Williams, being thus under evil influences, cannot go right on the race question. We have gone for 55 years to the polls blindfolded, but our eyes are now uncovered and we see the political situation in the light of new information and abstract fact. In the support of Mr. Levy, we believe that we are supporting principles and measures and not parties and men. A race issue is at stake. A vital question is to be decided. Let us vote for a square deal and fair play. Mr. Levy in our examination of fact appears to be an exponent of those necessary civic requisites. "WHERE LAW IS VINDICATED" Under this sonorous caption the Editor of the Houston Post on March 25, twists a despicable travesty upon justice into an incident which exhibited the remarkable self-restraint and law abiding qualities of the citizens, or more properly speaking, denizens, of Texas. The facts of the matter were these; a colored man, accused of assassinating a white man, was arrested, indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and executed all in the astoundingly short space of twenty four hours. The editor congratulates the people of San Augustine County upon their splendid conduct during the "trying situation". Trying situation, indeed, we wonder whether the prosecuting attorney, the jury, or the executioner himself knew what it was all about. He further says that the State of Texas has been spared a humiliation, in that the colored man was not lynched. He therefore assumes that under ordinary circumstances the colored man would certainly have been lynched, tantamount to admitting that there is ordinarily no law for an accused colored man in Texas except the lynch law. Such observations are of no more importance or weight than the brayings of a wild ass upon the barren and sandy hills of Texas itself, but what is worthy of more serious consideration is the fact that although we live in a country where the orderly conduct of legal procedure is one of the inviolable rights of every citizen of that country, and where due process of law includes not only trial by jury, but calm deliberation commensurate with the gravity of the offense, in this case so intent was the "law" in wreaking legal vengeance upon the accused that every cog of the tortuous and complicated machinery of legal procedure turned so perfectly and so swiftly that the action was completed in the unbelievable space of twentyfour hours. This man was not lynched at the hands of an angry mob, but nevertheless he was lynched by an angry and vindictive citizenry under the mask of legal methods. Justice under duress is no justice at all, even though it is meted out in accordance with all the forms and ceremonies guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO,PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins Martin Van Buren French. Martin Van Buren French, born Winchester, Kentucky, January 24, 1853, bears the distinction of being the oldest living police officer of color—connected with the Chicago Police Department. Officer French was appointed a patrolman February 12, 1883, and has served continuously since his appointment and has never missed a days work other than those of his vacation period. He is an officer of the old school and graduated from under the tutorship of such men as Inspector of Police John Shea, Inspector Wheeler, and Chief of Detectives Andy Rohan. Inspector Shea, was reputed to be one of the greatest police officers in the world, and Andy Rohan, was known as the man of the iron nerve; it was he who single handed captured the desperado "Bill" Allen, who had killed several men during the day and the entire police department had surrounded his hiding place which was a chicken coop laying on the loading platform of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, freight house at Union and Fulton Streets. 2 in 1884. Martin French has served in the majority of the many police stations throughout Chicago, both as a "plain clothes man" and patrolman. When Inspector Shea was in command of the West Division he appointed Martin French, and Henry Cartright (Deceased) on his personal Staff, and gave them the compliment of being the most efficient officers on the department. Police work in the "80" and "90" was of more hazardous nature, than that of today—and more especially so over on the "West Side" which had the reputation of hargoring more desperate criminals than any one spot in the United States of America. Law and Order had not been perfected and Chicago was little more than a large "Border town". The district in which the "Desplains Street Station" was located was especially tough and was only equaled in this respect the famous "Maxwell Street Station." "Chris Murray" of the notorious "Hinch gang" who murdered his wife and buried her in a potato sack, also "Painter" who was hung for murder HEALTH HINTS By Dr. H. Llewellyn Harris, Jr. "For I, the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers up on the children of the third and fourth generations of them that hate me, and sowing no mercy and loving kindness to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments." If in the foregoing we understand health commandments, we have a situation which daily faces physicians ad which will make a study of the laws of health, the most important study of the coming years. Beginning with birth there are certain laws which must be obeyed if we are to have normal growth and development. Natural instincts tell the lower animals who tis good and what is bad in the way of food. The necessities of gaining a living make necessary active exercise. Life in the open gives the sunshine and fresh air without which healthy animal life is impossible. Before man enjoyed is impossible. Before man enjoyed the blessings or probably the curse of modern civilized life, he lived in the open, hunted, workel and slept exposed to air and sunshine. His skin was unclothed and his food hard fruits, nuts, roots and raw fruits, beetables and meats. Due to the absence of houses and crows diseases of the lungs, nose and throat were unknown. Consumption, pneumonia and bronchial diseases are the results of attempting to fit man to houses rather than to fit houses to the uses of man. Man's habits have entirely changed—he no longer eats hard fruits, nuts, roots, herbs and grasses. His dict now consists of highly seasoned, easily prepared soft dishes which make no demand upon his weak jaws, teeth, stomach and muscles. - Before a fireman begins to run a furnace, he learns what fuel is fitted to do the work which is required. Men are more and more learning that the food which they eat must be fitted to their individual requirements. What is one man's meat is often another man's poison. As a result there has grown up in the medical profession a distance specialty devoted to the study of finding out what foods, exercises and living conditions are required to meet the need of each DO LITTLE ALONE HELP WE CAN DO A ERTY INSANCE CO.

Prejudice did not exist then as it does now and white and colored mingled freely with each other and police officers both white and colored worked in harmony. A colored policeman or detective was not confined to doing police work among colored people only—and, in many instances colored police worked solely in white districts and never came in contact with their own people only when off duty; so it was with Martin French. Officer French, was not the first colored man appointed but out-ranks all others through longevity and continuous service—Jas. Shelton, was the first colored man appointed to the department—he was appointed in 1878 by Mayor Heath, but no-record of his appointment can be found in the files of the Secretary of Police; John Fletcher, Sr., also antidates Officer French but his service covered only a few years. Officer French comes out of a family of prominent men. His brother John French, is a caterer who in the "90" bought out the Eckhart Catering Company and operated the same for a great many years under the name of French and Shaw, Seward French of the Chicago Health Department is another brother, also D. P. French, one of the Chicago's pioneer business men. The French family lived over on the West side until about 1900, when they moved to the South side; Martin French purchased a two story flat building 5711 Wabash Avenue, and lived at his address until his wife died in 1905, since the death of his wife he has resided in the Second Ward. Officer French, travels out of the Cottage Grove Avenue Station, and is as active as he was twenty years ago, and bears a reputation for efficiency second to none; he constantly refuses to travel in "plain clothes" as he says that there is nothing to it but extra work and no credit, and the man who travels a post gets the same salary as the man who does detective work. His main objection being that the politician who placed him in "plain clothes" can take him out disregardless of the fact that he has done efficient service. individual This is usually the best means of restoring one to health or what is more important especially in child-hood of keeping one in health. We believe that a knowledge of the principles of nutrition and their practise by physicians will supplant the era of pills and drugs as surely as pills and drugs have supplanted the sprikling with Holy Water and the laying on of ahnds. EDITOR'S MAIL Gentlemen: I have read with extreme pleasure your splendid editorial on "How Long Have You Been Here". Certainly every individual of color, who did not happen to first see light near the shores of Lake Michigan, should take heart and be re-assured that he still has a place and a part in the kingdom of culture. Many of the old fossils that were "born in Chicago", have been dawdling along for many moons and apparently they have "learned nothing and forgot nothing". Many more of them are dead and buried and those who have not actually gone the way of all the earth are simply "walking around to save financial expenses." Scratch almost any individual of color who "claims to have been born in Chicago" and if you examine him carefully you will soon discover that he is "from" somewhere or that he "came up here long before the crowd came". Nevertheless we who "came from behind the sun" have now "achieved a place in the sun" and we will make the city of Chicago mean that it should to the Negro, in spite of those "born in Chicago" the "old-timers" and the "old settlers" to the contrary, notwithstanding.
