Wright, the machine candidate received the high-way into the hearts of the low taxicabs available, hired braids to the city jail at Lauens, S. C., last midnight and hanged to a railroad bridge on the outskirts of the city. Robertson had been arrested and placed in jail for interfering in a fight in behalf of a small colored boy who was being beaten by three white ruffians. Robinson's inference was so effective that the three white boys whom he deterred from murdering the colored lad are said to be at the point of death. After being taken from the jail Robertson was shot to death and then dragged through the streets to the scene of the hanging, accompanied by a great throng of citizens who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the incident. It is said that the resistance offered the mob by the sheriff was so weak as to amount to acquiescence. W. A.

Atlanta, Ga., April 14th—Two sets of Georgia Delegates were elected to the Republican National Convention and will make a contest for recognition in Chicago at the convention. Police called. The Break came after a turmoil in which Police Chief Beavers was invited to take a hand on complaint or officials in the state Capitol. Roscoe Pickett head of one faction, and State Chairman elected four delegates and instructed them for Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. When the other faction arrived at the State House it was denied admittance, but the Governor Dorsey ordered the doors opened and the meeting be for all. The faction locked out was headed by a colored man, Henry Lincoln Johnson, formerly a all of New York City and all editors of Socialist propaganda publications. In the call for the convention inscribed in The Emancipator, the Socialist weekly edited by Randolph, Owen, and Domingo, it is asserted that "many N. A. A. C. P. leaders respond favorably." Those who issued the call for the convention propose to form a new organization more radical than any now in existence. "The methods for achieving the objects of this new organization," says the call, will be new to Negro organizations, and, we believe, more effective and quicker." The coming conventionists seem to have changed their attitude of harsh and angry criticism toward the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Instead they now say: "While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be the only similar organization in the country, it is not our intention to enter into captions or vituperative criticism of it and its work, but rather to take up where they leave off, on the one hand, and to begin where they have never begun, on the other. Special articles will follow in the succeeding issues explaining the difficulties by which the N. A. A. C. P. is hampered and why it cannot function freely for the advancement of colored people. "We wish to say, however that we have never known of any corruption in the handling of funds on the part of the N. A. A. C. P., nor has there been pronounced ignorance, if error or mistake, in its leadership." It is not yet known whether the N. A. A. C. P. intends to join forces with the six Socialists; but the outlook for such an alliance does not appear to be particularly rosy, as the members who have been approached generally agreed in the opinion that this was an admirable attempt to split that organization. S. S. YARMOUTH NOT OWNED BY BLACK STAR LINE New York, April 1.—The Steamship "Yarmouth" of the Black Star Line, is not owned by the Universal Negro Improvement Association according to a sensational story printed last week in the New York News, but, by a white Canadian Steamship Company. The "News" editor declares he became suspicious when the ship was not christened "Frederick Douglas", as planned, and he was led to ascertain the fact from the British Consulate. The steamer is now said to be chartered but not owned by the colored company. New York News Editor Prints Sensational Story. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 17th, 1920 Ben White, 3138 Calumet Ave. was charged with carrying concealed weapons without a permit in violation of the Sadler Gun Law. The case was assigned to Judge Howard W. Hayes for trial. Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks representing Ben White, raised the point that Section 4 of the Sadler Gun Law was unconstitutional, in that it gave too much discretion to the Chief of Police in the issuing of permits to carry concealed weapons. Assistant State's Attorney Riley representing the State argued the validity of the act and attempted to uphold the same. After the reply oforney brilliant red auto, and white one member remained at the wheel, and one acted as lookout man, the other three invaded the sanctity of the club house, which had never before felt the tread of any but the proudest Caucasian feet, this club employing as help nothing but white servants. The auto was found overturned in a ditch two hours later. As yet no clue to the identity of the robbers has been found. Walgreen's Drug Store Hires White Cashier The Prominent Drug Store, located at 35th and State Sts., controlled by the Walgreen Syndicate, has supplanted young colored woman who was formerly Cashier with a Caucasian gentleman of foreign appearance. It is reported the gentleman is receiving a fancy salary for recording the purchases and ringing up the cash from the enormous colored patronage. Diplleases Colored Patrona. Many complaints have been registered in the offices of the Chicago Whip against this indignity. General expressions are to the effect that colored patronage should be appreciated and rewarded by employing colored people. It is said that one Greenberg, who has interest in the firm used his influence to secure the change. This gentleman also has moved into a fancy residential section far away from all "objection-ables" who spend their money in the palatial drug store. This method of action according to reports will estrange the business relationship between white and colored people on the South Side. It is hoped the matter will be adjusted from a period of fairness and equity to all concerned. COLORED PEOPLE TO ELECT CONGRESSMAN IN MISSOURI COLORED PEOPLE TO ELECT CONGRESSMAN IN MISSOURI George L. Vaughn Indorsed at Meeting of Citizens' Liberty League. St. Louis, Mo. April 5.—Former Lieut. George L. Vaughan, a negro lawyer, 4112 West Belle place, was indorsed as the anti-machine candidate for the Republican nomination for congress in the Twelfth Distriet, at a meeting of the organization, last night at 3137 Pine street.

Two white men were shot and bullets furrowed the walls of the already battle scarred Pekin Cafe, Friday April 9, when a white man, known as "Gimp," a notorious character of the "bad lands", objected to the amorous attitude of Lillian Smith, white, toward a colored man with whom she had been drinking. Patrons rushed pell mell from the place when "Gimp" began to lay down his barrage, and when the police arrived the place was empty save for the smoke from the revolver and the two wounded men. Witnesses say that a colored man was drinking with a white girl and two white men, when "Gimp" en- University Heights of New York City, in which are inscribed on bronze tablets the name of Famous American men and women.

Frederick Douglass, in addition to being for many years register of the treasury, was famous as a publicist, statesman, and journalist and is acknowledged to have achieved higher eminence in national affairs than probably any other colored man of any period. The placing of any name in the colonade at New York University immortalizes that name and is considered the highest tribute possible to pay in recognition of a useful and illustrious career. Claim That Noxious Fumes Arising From Black Folk Imperial Life of Famous Tree of Knowledge. At a recent meeting of the notorious Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Ass'n, one George J. Williams, who conducts a real estate business at 3010 Parmell Ave., delivered himself of the following heartbreaking wall: "Every white man on the south side will have to support this association, or we will not be able to save Hyde Park. In a few years the colored people will have surrounded the University of Chicago unless this organization does something to stop it." Williams asserted that there were five real estate dealers in the Hyde Park district who had refused to adhere to the Hyde Park Property Owners' Ass'n plan of evicting all colored tenants from that district. or of the St. Louis Argus, negro newspaper. Homer G. Phillips spoke in favor of the indorsement. Vaughn, according to members of the Citizens' League, is to be the official negro candidate. Negro votes are in the majority in the Twelfth District. Vaughn is about 40 years old and has lived in St. Louis twelve years. He was a volunteer in the war with Germany and was commissioned first lieutenant after training at Des Moines. Law Against Gun Toting Invalid Says Judge. UNIVERSITY WARNED OF BLACK PERIL TECTI Mistake Officer sailants With W Had Fought Woman DETECTIVE Wilson responded to a call to the Cottage Grove Ave. Station for help, which said that two colored men were attacking Hargraves with a knife. Witnesses said that Hargraves was having a violent argument with two men over a girl, and that the two men had cornered Hargraves with knives, upon which he drew a revolver to defend himself. Hargraves Mistakes Officers' Motives When Wilson arrived he found Hargraves holding off the other two men with his revolver. Wilson rushed in, and without announcing that he was an officer, shouted, "Dro that revolver." Hargraves, heart, is shout, wheeled to meet him, and finding himself facing a man with drawn revolver, thought that a third party had come to the aid of the two assailants who was already hard pressing him. He fired his gun in a The mayor was very much disappointed at the scarcity of his audience and was also unpleasantly surprised to learn that the preacher was able to attract a larger crowd than himself. The mayor spoke about the different phases of the Traction Ordinance and something about 100 per cent Americanism. Rev. Williams gave a wonderful, logical and coherent address on the vital political issues of the day. On next Tuesday, April 13th 1920, you will have the opportunity to vote for a colored man to represent you in the great Republican National Convention which convenes in Chicago on June 8th, 1920 to nominate a man for President of the United States. We believe you are going to be very cautious and discreet and of the two men aspiring for the honor you are going to select the one whose public record and life is unquestionable; the Man who has always stood for the inalienable rights of the colored American; the man who has never double-crossed or sold out his race or his party. The man who has a record that is second to none in battling for his race, legally and otherwise in the recent race riots, and if so, you are going to vote for Augustus L. Williams for Delegate to the National Republican Convention, for he is the only one of the two colored men running that has such a record. The record of his opponent, Oscar Depriest you know too well for us to make mention of it here, suffice to say he, Oscar Depriest, has not as yet submitted you his platform nor his public record, yet he expects to be elected upon the popularity of a white man, George F. Harding who lives in the 6th Ward and is now running as a Delegate in a District where he does not live through the influence and appealed to him by the Harmony Crowd consisting of Depriest, Wright, Anderson and Jackson. A vote for Williams as delegate for National Convention is a vote for good government as opposed to bossism and hand picked candidates. Experience enables one to understand, but unfortunately it also makes stale so many otherwise pleasant situations and incidents in life. --- Gunmen Shoot Two White Men for Defending White Woman and Colored Man. Augustus L. Williams Makes Manly Appeal to Voters THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. Mistake Officer For Assailants With Whom He Had Fought About Woman Policeman Wilson was married and had been on the force only about eighteen months. He was what is commonly known as a "cub copper," or a young officer not well known to criminals generally, and consequently able to travel in plain clothes and make arrests among professional criminals that older and better acquainted officers could not make. Showed Lack of Judgment. Witnesses to the affray maintain that had Policeman Wilson unsed better judgment he would not have come to such untimely end. Wilson, with gun drawn, rushed into the fight, without announcing that he was an officer, leaving Hargraves to draw his own conclusions. Hargraves, seeing a man in civilian clothes rushing at him with a drawn revolver, thought that he had three assailants to fight instead of two, and fired his deathdealing shot accordingly.

Mrs. Dixon immediately came to Cihecago and has tried every method to locate her missing son, believing that robbery was the cause of the disappearance as Dixon was a home loving person and not wont to remain away without giving some word as to his whereabouts. The police have been informed and every station and hospital is being searched for the missing young man. Dixon's disappearance to date is a complete mystery. A WHIP reporter has been assigned to the case and is exhausting all sources of information in the effort to locate the missing student. Death Cheats Noose of Hangman Dublin, Ga., April 6th. — Herbert Cummings, colored, sentenced to be hung for the alleged murder of a white soldier, died in the death cell this morning after an illness of several weeks. Cummings was convicted of murder following a series of racial disturbances here last fall which resulted from the overbearing demeanor of white soldiers returning from France. It was claimed that the kindness shown colored men by the French women rankled in the breasts of many returned white soldiers, who, being unable to convert the French to their way of thinking, swore vengeance when once back in America, hence the race riots in one of which the white soldier was killed. Prisoner's Health Neglected. It is claimed that the death of Cummings is directly traceable to the criminal neglect of jailer Jim Thomas, who allowed Cummings to go unfed for several days at a time, and who failed to see that the cell was kept in a sanitary condition. It is also claimed that duing the coldest days of an unusually bitter winter, Cummings was not furnished warm clothing. Hoyne Passes Buck Again When a delegation from the Chicago Church Federation waited on State's Attorney Hoyne last week to protest the bomb throwing crusade which has been launched against the colored people of Chicago, Prosecutor Hoyne tossed the buck back to the Chicago Police Department, which has been busily engaged in tossing the buck to the Prosecutor.

Rushing into the room, they found Mrs. Anderson, lying dead across the bed with bullet wounds through her head and side. Anderson was lying on the bed with a hole just beneath his heart. Mrs. Anderson, formerly a Miss Blackburn of St. Paul, Minn., was 25 years old, and employed as a stenographer by the Bruseax, Detective Agency. Maurice Anderson, formerly of Springfield, O., was 35 years of age and worked at Sears, Roebuck and Co. They leave a boy two years old. Leaves Letter As Mute Witness. The first chapter of the double tragedy was found scrawled rudely on Sears, Roebuck Co. shipping checks, and depicts the mental state of the slayer. It reads as follows: "To see the world as I do one would be true in saying that I am a pessimist but still my life is real, just like any other person and for not worth living. The world is against me and I want to impress the fact, that includes any relations as well as my wife. No one seems to consider my health which is very poor and would make any person discouraged, and again I have always worked for a living such as it was, but never did I have a real job as I was capable of holding any ordinary life work. At this writing I can't help thinking of my dear little boy, contemplating this self-murder and to think of him each time I write. Oh, how I would like to foget him until I have done the task, makes scalding hot tears flow down my face. I only wish he would take some serious disease and die for I haven't the heart to take such a precious life — then II could die without a struggle." Woman Had Received Warning. Mrs. Lottie Galloway, 5167 Wabash avenue, a sister to Mrs. Anderson was present at the scene of the murder and had warned the slain woman repeatedly to stay away from her husband, who is said to have threatened her several times. Anderson is not expected to recover. BUYS BOOZE AT $3 a PINT; THEN HE SELLS IT AT $8. ST. LOUIS, M., April 3.—Federal officials today began an investigation into the alleged misuse of prescriptions to obtain whiskey, following the arrest of Edmund Phelps, colored, yesterday. Phelps, according to prohibition enforcement officers, admitted he had procured twenty-three pints of the forbidden liquor on prescriptions at a drug store for $3 a pint and sold them at $8.

I went to a lecture at the Wabash Avenue "Y", A representative from Sheldon Business College was the speaker of the evening. His subject was on "Business Management." There were only 15 men present. Most of them were outsiders. All of the "Y" boys must have been socializing or the management must not have informed them of the need of such lectures. I was inclined to think the latter. I heard that Parker of the People's Advocate and quite a few other advocates were taken before Hoyne for some kind of conspiracy. I wonder if the fearless Parker has conspired to break up the Hyde Park Gang. We trust he has. They tell me that there will be a lot of double crossing on election day. I knew that when I was a baby. I drifted into Walgreen's Drug Store on the corner of 35th and State street and counted 48 colored patrons, and a new cashier a foreigner. The charming affable, colored girl who used to draw patronage had been supplanted by a foreign gentleman. He looks as if he may dive over on Halsted street.

Trice was accused of attacking the ten year daughter of Patrolman J. A. Crusse on Hernando Road. The alleged attempt was not verified and if the facts are known it will appear that the girl was merely frightened by Trice, who was returning from his work. When it became known that Patrolman Cruse had effected the arrest of Trice on the charge of attempted assault, various rumors started and friends of Cruse and other blood-thirsty individuals got busy and fully thirty persons and these took Trice from the custody of the three officers and made preparations for a lynching bee. The officers would not use their weapons to resist the mob.

By Irene McCoy Gaines: After thirty million years of life on this planet we find man still improving and cultivating the earth. Science spends billions of dollars yearly in producing splendid types of grafted fruits, high bred cows, fancy breeds of dogs, cats, etc. We give everything more attention than we give ourselves. The history of the world shows that life is evolution, and that the planet on which we live is constantly becoming a better, and a more beautiful place in which to live. This improvement is being made by those who have discovered within themselves the soul key that reveals the real joy of living.

Y., April 13.—Manager Joe Williams, of the Lincoln Giants, of New York, has made all arrangements to open up the season of 1920, on next Sunday, April 11th, when the Lincoln Giants clash with the Federal Shipyard team in the first game at 1:30 p. m., while in the final game of the afternoon, they will meet their old rivals, the Downey Shipyard team. As this will be the opening game of the season on the Lincoln Giants' new grounds at the New York Catholic Protectory, which is easily reached by the Brown sub. EVENT AGE, NUMBER PRESENT THE BIG MUSIC A number of things are absolutely necessary to the production of good citizenship. The possession of true, high ideals is one of the chief requirements. The teaching of these true ideals is the proper preparation for good citizenship and this teaching has two requirements which must be met—time and opportunity. There is no greater factor in human life for genuine brotherhood and wholesolued cooperation than music. It is without creed and therefore people of all creeds, nationalities and races have a common ground on which they may meet to express a joy or sorrow for the events of the past, a thankfulness for the blessings of the present and a faith and hope in the future. A good musical taste, once firmly implanted in one's being, awakens high ideals and ambitions hitherto unthought of and, once awakened, these ideals and hopes usually find the proper outlet for benefit to the individual and to the community. In recent years municipalities have begun to realize that people need music of the type that elevates. As a result numerous cities have inaugurated the giving of open air concerts. In many cities orchestras and bands donate their services, at regular intervals, to these concerts. In other cities adequate provision is made for the employment of trained musicians who plan, promote and present the programs—thus insuring that ht very best that can be had will be given. It is my observation thru many years of experience that the only thing necessary to cause the public to like good music is to tell them hear it often enough. The following in all letter from Mme Eva Campanini is a tribute of which musical Chicago should be proud. "Dear Friends: I am leaving Chicago very soon. Chicago—how much that word means in my life—both of sorrow and gladness. It was here that my beloved husband worked out his highest ideals and lived to see realized the dreams of his youth. Where could he have found a richer soil for his endeavour than chr in Chicago—tech representative city of America, strenuous in its business activities but always ready to beheark to the gentle and more alluring call of art in all its varying moods.

An interesting innovation in the making of pictures is promised in the plan of Charles Boni,-who is about to produce pictures with cast chosen exclusively from colored peopel. The plan is more of an educational and artistic venture than « commercial one It has never been tried before. The spoken stage has been more Progressive in this respect with a decided negro movement in the the- atre, the Ridgeley Towrence plays having been produced at the Garden Theatre in 1917. The venture had a marked measure of success. An effort is also to be made to secure the finest dramaturgic talent in the negro raec, and the plans call for & tentative offer to Bert Williams to appear as the star. This would in- sure a certain following which might not ordinarily be attracted by a negro production. Of the 15,000 ree- ognized motion picture theatres in the United States, one-third are esti- mated that might be inclined favor- ably to showing of productions en- acted exclusively with negro actors. Beyond a suggestion that the ven- ture is to be backed by “philantro- pic” capital, no mention is made of those financially interested. The South will probably be the most likely location for a studio, as this would offer greater facilities for hiring colored people for extras, Mr. Boni has had no experience in the picture business.

Herzog, the keystone of his inner defense has ruptured himself. If the bursting of the Herzog bubble had been the only one, he could have possibly weathered the storm, but Tyler, who had gone to the wisest of physicians, had been led to believe should he have his teeth drawn, he would "come back" with bells on. He has failed to make the return trip. Unlimited space was used telling of Tyler's ability to return to his old time form, with him bending them over and Alexander's superb pitching, with Vaugh pitching to form, it looked like it was all over but getting the Cub's winning percentage. Jack Fournier, who had played first base for the White Sox and woh was sent back to California, is with the St. Louis Cardinals this season.

In creating up third place money won by New York, Huggins allotted four shares, the third place money to the group keeper, (who, by the rogue destroying what you cannot buy—youth. A woman of color with a perfectly eared for complexion, with smooth velvet skin, natural as God gave it to her, is a wonderful thing to see, but we do not see much of it. A certain young man of a certain Theoretical Company who played here with a star of undoubted histronic ability, in any love scene that he had with her afterward found his shoulder always looked like he had carried a sack of flour up stairs.

Spencer Heath is a vegetative cuss, he made a single to the right against a right handed pitcher and turned around and batted against his south paw and singled to the left. Heath is a great help to himself, he books like the "prescription" so badly needed to bolster up a sliding pitching staff. Let's hope he has the heart of steel that is necessary to stand the gaff in the big show under the big tent, for many a heart has cracked under that strain. We see Jack Johnson is in Tia Juana, if he gets too close to the line and stumbles over a barrel hoop, we are sure he will fall into the arms of a waiting constable. THE POINT Written On The Cuff Can't you imagine the feelings of Colonel Ruppert and Colonel Houston when they received this ultimatum? The Yankee magnates had paid handsome salaries to their players last year; had handed out bonuses and had fought tooth and nail for the restatement of Carl Mays together with the payment of third money to their team. They had also spent $200,000 for Ruth and Mays and were obligated to the extent of more than $300,000 in expenses for the coming season. A Penny a Piece to Please Them. Yet in spite of this great liberality, Yankee Colonels were threatened with a strike. And how much did it cost them to smooth the troubled waters? Why, just $25 for each member of the team, which came out of the magnate's pockets, while the ground keeper, trainer and the assistant secretaries got their coin according to the original plan. The Yankee players didn't make much of a hit with the fans at home when this piker conduct became known here, but the selfishness of the men wasn't strange in view of the characteristic greediness of their profession in general. Patt's part in the wrangle got him into disfavor and Huggins has decided to get rid of him. Pratt and Bodie, therefore, probably will be traded, but I doubt if the offer of their services can pry Catcher Schang a way from the Rer Sox. Huggins, as a result of the Hoodoo's baneful influence, must do a lot of experimenting He is trying out Job Meusel at third base, Ward at the middle bag and Vick in right field. Meusel looks like a good batsman, but so far his fielding in Baker's old position has not been encouraging. Ward, on the other hand, appears to have much quality and may be a success. Vick can hit and field, but he liveliest old chap yan, ever saw and, having learned his boxing in the old school, he is able to handle himself with all the conservation born of years of the finest experience and without the loss of an ounce of power. Sam went away from here to box. Howard Carr has matched him to meet a couple of the toughest of the tough in the western country and don't be surprised if you hear that Sam has done the unexpected and comes back here with all of the honors. He meets Jack Thompson in Muskogee, Okla. on the 15th, and then will hop over to Denver Colo., for a battle there on the 19th with the mighty Harry Wills of New Orleans, perhaps the greatest of the present day black fighters. Both of these contest will be of fifteen rounds and both to a referrer's decision. Tony Melechior is going along with Sam to keep him whipped into shape for the contests and also to get some more ring experience before he meets either Bill Brennan or Sam Devere around here for his next test in the ring. But as to Sam himself, Think of him starting out on a ring career as far back as 1902 an still being good. He began as a featherweight and fought his way right through the toughest gang in every class up to the present time. He's a wonderful fellow and, appearing at a stag the other night, go a regular ovation, showing that he has the respect and admiration of the highest class of followers in this game or swats.

C., April 10.—Founder's Day was observed at Voorhees Normal and Industrial School, yesterday with appropriate exercises, and address by Charles Stewart, A. M. D. D., of Chicago. The Institution was established by Miss Elizabeth Wright, who became the wife of Prof. Monafee prior to her death. It is one of the leading schools in the South for the training of the youth, the officers are Dr. E. R. Roberts, Principal, Prof. Martin A. Menafee, Treasurer and Vice-Principal. The exercises were held at 2:00 o'clock in the Chapel of the Institute, Special music was rendered by the students of the school. The opening was "Swing On the Golden Gate," a melody by the students, and the scripture was read by Rev. T. L. Jones, D. D. Chaplain and the opening prayer was made by Dr. E. R. Roberts, who also acted as master of ceremonies. "One Sweet Solemn Thought" by the choir, and the principal address followed which was delivered by Charles Stewart, D. D., of Chicago, general Missionary of the National Baptist Convention. "A Life of Service," was the theme discussed. He said that the number of years a man lived depended on the service he rendered to his fellow man. He took the position on that man was not physical size or strength, but his photograph of a real man was "Mind, Soul, Will," which had to be cultivated in order to determine Man's fitness in the world. "When We Stand Before the King," Male quartette, C. Murphey, J. Noble, J. H. Cripper, T. Newberry. This was followed by remarks by Principal Roberts, and trio, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," Misses A. E. Sightler, M. Lagroome and G. Edwards.

Dr. Boyd and his wife take a vacation, the first in 20 years and his many friends rejoice that the matter is finally settled and that the great work of the Publishing House may go on without the shadow of the court in its work. RACE STATISTICS. Editorial Note.—The recent movement in the North to enact legislation that will allot votes in the electoral college in proportion to actual votes cast and not to actual voting strength has caused widespread alarm through-out the South. It is notorious that through a system of disfranchisement, Georgia, where only one sixth as many votes are cast as in Michigan, has nevertheless, by reason of her population, the same voting power in the electoral college. Follows an editorial in the Memphis Commercial Appeal which exhibits the alarm felt by Southern whites at this movement. RACE STATISTICS. "There has just issued from the press a second edition, in pamphlet form, of "Statistics and Politics," by John W. Farley, a prominent Republican lawyer, and well known citizen of Memphis, which has attracted the favorable attention of thinking people throughout the entire country. The dominant thought in the pamphlet seems to be the pre-eminence of the Anglo-Saxon race in govern- Mr Robert S. Simmons of Boley, Oklahoma paid a visit to the office this week. Mr. Simmons is Ass't. Postmaster of Boley and son of Mr. C. S. Simmons, who is Postmaster since the origin of the little city. Mr. Simmons says Boley is a wonderful city and growing very rapidly many large buildings are in the process of construction, among them a K. P. Temple and soon a State Bank they are also expecting to get a state Hospital. Oil is being discovered around there and much peace, prosperity and progress is to be found there. There are absolutely no white people in the city and within nine miles around the city. The land is all owned and everything is managade and conducted for colored and by colored people. Mr. Simmons in on leave of absence for some time and while in the city is with his brother Mr. J. C. Simmons, 3131 Rhodes Ave. He will look over Detroit and Gary before returning. Mr. J. H.

Knoxville, Tenn., April 12. — Ernest Rorex, a 14-year-old Colored boy, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in criminal court and sentenced to a reformatory until he is twenty-one years of age. While Rorex and Locke Holland, another Colored boy, were pitching horse shoes at the corner of Dora and University, several months ago, an argument ensued and Rorex rushed to his home nearby, procured an army rifle and fired at Holland, the bullet strickling him in the eg. The wound necessitated the amputation of the boy's leg to save his life. Mrs. Cora Spears, who witnessed the shooting fell dead form the shock. Slavery in A New Form, In testimony of the system of oppression, profiteering in human strength and capitalizing of vice as practiced in the South, we relate this story appearing in the Kansas City Post: South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas; for here runs the purest strain of Anglo-Saxon blood in the Union. In these states are to be found 97 per cent of native whites of native parents. Mr. Farley says in 1910 the City of Memphis, having a population of 131,105, 40 per cent of which were negroes, the average number of persons per white family was 4.5 and the average number of persons per family among the negroes was only 3.5. As it takes an average of not less than four persons per family to perpetuate a race, it will be seen that these figures point to an arrest in the increase of the colored race, a fact of grave concern. There is not a harsh expression in the pamphlet, which contains 55 pages with double columns, backed by tables, maps and diagrams, with an array of statistics that can not fail to arrest the attention of every reflecting man who reads its pages. In its preparation Mr. Farley has rendered a distinct service not only to his party, but to the entire country." HELPLESS GUARD LOOKS ON AS CONVICTS STAND BY AND SEE BOLD CHARACTER ESCAPE. (Special to the Whip.) Rock Hill, April 4, — Using the loaded pistol that he had taken from the guard at the chaining camp, Fr. Moore, white, serving a 10-year sentence for accessory in murder, forced another convict to file off the shackles from his legs, and the shackles from the legs of another degree convict, John Crockett, and the two calmly walked away from camp without even saying thankie to the convict who had filed loose his shackles. The escape was made from the country chaining camp, near Roddy station, eight miles east of the city late Monday afternoon. Up to tonight no trace of the escaped criminals had been New Business School To Prepare Men and Women For Civil Service Positions. James D.

When we consider the wonderful strides and the very prominent part the Negro has played in amateur athletics and the length of time that this has been true, the first question that naturally presents itself is, who was the first really great Colored track athlete o f national reputation, and where was that honor gained? Beyond a question of doubt the first to gain this honor was John B. Taylor, of the University of Pennsylvania. He was reared in Philadelphia and attended one of the Prep-schools of that city, during which time he was a team mate of the peerless Melvin B. Shepherd. Not being contented with a Prep-school education he entered the University of Pennsylvania, where he came under the instruction of the greatest of all trainers, the late Mike Murphy, and at once was recognized as the leading quarter miler of his day. To go into detail as to the number of races and various excellentt performances in which he competed would be impossible in an article of this length. However, his greatest performance was at the Harvard Stadium on June 1, 1907, when he established a new inter-collegiate record of 48.4 for the quarter. Unfortunately, during the spring of 1008, he was handicapper by illness, and when he toed the mark at London for inter-national honors, he was but a shadow of his former self. Fro mthis illness he never fully recovered and within a year his races were ended for all time—by death. It would be impossible to estimate the amount of good done by this pioneer Negro athlete. Throughout his athletic career he was a gentleman first and an athlete afterwards. He was never known to take advantage of a competitor and was respected an diked by friends and foe. The very democratic treatment accorded our boys since that time by the Inter-Collegiate Associations and by the A. A. U. are in no small measure due to the manner n h this measure due to the manner in which this athlete conducted himself. SENTENCE IS REDUCED. Colored man Convicted of Assault to Kill Will serve Only One Year. Stanton for the shooting of Zelma Hall, colored, with a shotgun. It is stated that Mrs. Huff fired the shot because his whistling irritated her. Mrs. Huff is a woman of nervous temperament and it has long been known that she has a peculiar aversion to whistling. It is understood that she claims Hall whistled with the deliberate object of provoking her. Bird shot was used in the shell of the shotgun fired by Mrs. Huff and while Hall was badly hurt his wounds are not considered of a serious nature. VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS IN RACE TANGLE. Richmond, Va., April 6. — Alleged "team roller" tactics is believed to have hopelessly split the Republican Party in this neck of the political woods. The whites have declared war on the Negroes and practically read them out of their branch of the Republican organization, and the Negroes have retaliated by electing a set of delegates to the National Convention in Chicago next June. If the plausion of the Negroes are carried out to the length of their declarations they will elect a full State delegation at a convention to be held in the city of Roanoke, where the State convention will be held the first part of next month. A considerable number of white Republicans have "lined up" with the colored men and have openly declared their intention of joining hands with them at the State convention. The outcome is being watched with lively interest by both whites and Negroes throughout the State. "WHITE CANNIBALS" RULE PACIFIC ISLE. Tiburon Island, in the Pacific, for miles off the Mexican coast, is inhabited by a tribe of "white cannibals" who are said to be descendants of the Dutch, Swedish and German prisoners who escaped from Mexican prisons several centuries ago. Yaqui Indians, who live on the mainland, call Tiburon the "Island of Death", for the reason that any person who lands on it is shot by poisoned darts and then eaten by natives. In addition to poisoned arrows, used by the natives, the cannibals also use an ancient blunderbuss in attacking their victims. They are supposed to number from 500 to 2,000 persons. Of sixteen persons known to have visited the island in the last few years, in parties of two and three, only nine are said to have returned alive the other failing victims of the flaxen haired fit them to be better housekeepers in their own homes and in those of their employers.

Against the vile assaults of those Who would his kind disgrace. He showed where brazen prejudice And egotism small, Made of the white an unfair judge In matters one and all. He pointed out the seat of sin Within the white man's heart, And how that crime and cruelty And him were counterpart. He reckoned up the centuries Of white, unbroken sway. And found their total answer in Conditions of to-day. The broken promises of years The grinding of the heel. That almost any white skinned man Would make the weaker feel. His character a menace To the world's security His tongue so hypocritical Prates loud of liberty. And when he views a negro's sin, And sees him step aside Fom right's ungilded pathway, Then hear him quick deride. A stifling, putrid white-facel soul, With conscience seared, half dead. Would push him back and hold him down, Were he to raise his head. Instead of pity, love and help, The negro gets abuse. Though ne'er did he withhold his care, His help did ne'er refuse. The negro lynchings witness stand To white ingratitude. And thousands of mulatto souls, To pale-faced vices leud. Just strip the mask from off his face And quickly at him glance. Then ponder what the negro race would do CHURCH UNIFICATION OPPOSED BY BISHOP.

Little Rock, Ark., Apr. 13. — The Rose Day Committee of the Lions Club met in conference yesterday with Seipio Jones and C. E. Bush, regarding to the part the colored are asked to take in the Rose Day program of beautifying Little Rock with roses. The committee representing the colored pledged the support of the colored in Rose Day. The Lions Club will give away several thousand rose bushes to colored women and white women on Rose Day, April 15, with instructions for planting and caring for the roses. Talks and exercises on roses will be held by the children in the colored schools, and ministers will preach on the subject Sunday, which has been declared Rose Sunday. Little Rock housewives who planted roses last Rose Day have complained to the Rose Committee that neighbors' chickens scratched all the roses up. Leo, P. Bott Jr., a member of the committee, said last night that he has found an ordinance which prohibits persons from letting chickens or other fowls run at large. This is Ordinance No. 2250, passed December 13, 1915, during Charles E. Taylor's administration. The Lions Club weekly letter announcing the luncheon at the Hotel Marion goes out in the form of a small publication called "The Jungle", edited by Fred Pattee. This week, the publication has a red rose on the front cover, and was steeped in perfumed powder overnight, to carry with it the odor of roses. It is mailed to all members.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. RACE CARELESSNESS We have in dispassionate thought endeavored to show thru the columns of this paper the injustices of the Government and Administration, and the weakness and perfidy of our leaders. We have endeavored to point to the evils in the industrial and political worlds. We have intentionally avoided critical exposition of the great masses of our race. We have elucidated upon the evils that intelligent leadership could correct. Now is the time for a cold-blooded glare upon the masses of the "great child race." Times, conditions, and visions have changed radically and drastically. Every race in America has felt the New Desire, the New Prices, the Pressure, and New Leadership. The masses of American Negroes have heard about Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy. The masses all have heard of Common Sense, Race Pride, and Personal Respect, Race Independence, and Race Cooperation. The fundamental principles of American Civilization are understood by the majority of American Negroes. The causes for inertia, slothful apathy, incoherence and disorder within the masses does not rest entirely in the lack of strong leaders, or in the opposition of the white race. The masses, like wilful children, have been beaten by stronger urchins, chastised by parent leaders, scorned by teachers of experience, and you failed to feed. What do we face? The problem ideals. Tracing the remote and proximate causes, we find that everlastingly it has been money, reeking and lusty with baccilli and pandoras germs. It has been and it is even now money that saps the vitality of man. The Acme of Civilization. Money is the medium of exchange for humanity. Money may take the form of gold, silver, platinum, diamond or anything that can be conveniently used for exchange purposes. Money made out of metal has an intrinsic value and can be used for other purposes. Paper money intrinsically is worth no more than the paper it is described on, it however represents metal equivalents and is so honored. Money as before stated was intended to be a medium of exchange for the necessities of life. The necessities of Life depends upon the station in life. But to all classes the indispensable requisities of life are food, raiment and shelter with a reasonable allowance for pleasure, and luxuries. Money, the much sought, is now being used to satisfy private lust, public ambition, and personal avarice. Money, instead of being used for the reasonable necessities and luxuries of life has been abused and misused to satisfy the carnal whims of the world wicked. The schemers and foxes of Civilization have so subverted the purpose of money that it has become a thing evil. Under the present order of affairs the majority of civilization is in a great grabfest for the "filthy lucre". The beautiful idea of Universal Brotherhood has been so distorted that Brotherhood depends almost entirely upon Monetary Consideration. The Trees of Knowledge and Truth now can only be reached through Money Methods, "Pay as you Enter" rings through the classic halls of Learning as sonorously as on the vestibules of our modern electric conveyances. Why has the original use of money become so complemented and multiplied? The needs of humanity have changed it is true, so have the avenues for procuring money. The desires of mankind has also changed. Men now seek individual power, Men now are kings in Industry and Kings in Labor, Kings in Pleasure and Vice. Each King must have money in order to maintain power. The Kings have cornered the money markets, and the rest of Humanity have become thieves who break through, murder and steal. What will it all lead to? Taking a prophetic dip into the dim vista of the future, we see a fearful money panic, we see starving men and women in want and nations panic stricken, because all the money has been misused and the necessities of life placed beyond the grasp of needy humanity. We predict a Money Panic because we love our race more, because our race is more oppressed, we lay emphasis on the fact that the economic and political destiny of our people depends upon their present manipulation of money. Since it is impossible to have universal peace and universal Brotherhood, it behooves us to protect our racial interests until we have strength enough to help others. While the whole world is money mad and pleasure stricken should we not follow the original intentions of money producers and use it for the reasonable necessities of life and save the major portion for the inevitable panic that will surely come. When the panic does come, we will be in position to dictate the policies of polluted humanity and destroy the curse. The Jews for two thousand years have taken THE CHICAGO WHIP the SMALL THINGS that make up their work. The Negro must become a real producer. The great farm lands in the United States, the intuitive knowledge of the Negro in the cotton industry makes it possible for him to concentrate his efforts and endeavors in larger production and thereby becoming a stiffer competitor. The Negro must be more careful in consumption. Profit sharing system in cooperative stores and the sacrificial support of Negro institutions and the abolition of unnecessary extravagance coupled with intense frugality will cut down the profit for other races realized through the Negro's careless consumption of common commodities. In the political world, firmer courage, stronger integrity will elevate the status of the average voter. The realization that the sale of votes means the sale of rights, that the careless support of questionable candidates means the careless representation in government activities and the further realization that the Republican party is not the saving grace of the race; all will undoubtedly result in racial respect and racial representation for the Negro body politic. In the social world the Negro must at once begin to THINK AS AN AMERICAN. He must be enthused with the fuller faith IN HIMSELF and filled with a stronger love for his own kith and kin. Of his public conduct he must be carefully conscious, realizing that he is ever before the public censor and judged by narrow minds. The love for pleasure must be moderated in consonance with his industrial, educational and economic station in life. He must be careful in his method of attire, speech and appearance. Careful consideration and careful thought by the masses of the American Negroes will help towards stronger cohesion and greater racial unity. THE SOUTH IN A NEW ROLE One very famous English poet William Shakespeare spoke of the world as a stage and all humanity as actors thereon. If he had lived to this day, and had written of the South after having watched the many roles in which the South has appeared to keep the black man enthralled, he doubtless would have added that the Solid Ivory South is the Most Versatile Actor. She began her career as a tragedian. Many innocents babes snatched from their mothers breasts and fathers dragged from their loving families could, if living, testify to her especial fitness in this role. She also an enviable reputation as a camouflage artist. These two elements have not only kept her in power for three centuries but kept her escutcheon in a state of doubtful cleanliness in the eyes of the world. The evils of the slave trade were for two hundred years kept in the background hidden beneath the camouflage of religious approbation. This perverted interpretation of Christianity was unable to withstand the acid test of growing intel- THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins ent chief Colonel Garrity, all of whom give Mr. Smith the credit of being one of the most efficient men connected with the Chicago Police Department. Wm. Randolph Smith, Assistant Secretary to the Superintendent of Police, born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, son of William B. and Rosalie Harrison Smith. His father was born in Port Royal, Va. Came to Chicago in 1869, and has resided on the west side since that date. Mother died when he was a child and he was left with his Grandmother, Mrs. Catherine Harrison, and her daughter, Ann Randolph, under whose influence Mr. Smith received his early training. He was taken to Norfolk, Va., at an early age and educated in the common schools of that city; he worked during the shool vacation periods and saved enough money to enter and begin an academic college course. Mr. Smith is a man of medium stature and of mild demeanor and bears all of the marks of a cultured business man; he is highly respected both by department heads and other employees of the various departments of the City Hall, and they are very profuse in the praise and comments of him and his work; newspaper reporters assigned to do the City Hall give him credit of being the best informed man in the employ of the city in reference to department work. He has a clever faculty or understanding human nature and has the greatest respect for both high and low and no matter how humble the appearance of the individual who seeks information — he endeavors to treat them as if they were of high position. Mr. Smith matriculated at the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute at Petresburg, Va., in 1884, an institution erected and established by the State of Virginia for the higher education of colored youths of that State, and completed the academic course and served two years in the college department of this institution. He is and has been interested in fraternal organizations, especially on the west side of Chicago, and is a member of West Chicago Lodge No. 3969. Household of Ruth, and No. 1056 G. U. $^*$ O. F., Princess Bessie Chapter No. 35, and Mount Hebron Lodge, A. F & A. M. While attending college Mr. Smith continued to work during the vacation periods and saved enough money to enter the Spencerian Business College at Washington, D. C., graduating from this institution in 1889 with special honors conferred by he Hon John Wanamaker, then Postmaster General of the United States. He is affiliated with and is a member of the Baptist Church, and is a trustee of the Provident Baptist Church, the erection and completion of which stands as a monument to the community and can largely be attributed to the untiring and valiant efforts of Mr. Smith and his fellow members of the Board of Trustees. He returned to Chicago in 1890, and secured employment with the Board of Education with whom he remained until his appointment to the Chicago Police Department as a patrolman and assigned to general clerical duties in the office of General Superintendent of Police, which position he has retained through the various administrations of the city government. He has served under many famous men of the Chicago Police Department and many of them have reached high places in the confidence of the United States Government. Major R. W. McCloughry, resigned to become the Warden of the penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois, and subsequently appointed Warden of the United States Penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, J. M. Collins, Ship Fort Leavenworth, J. M. Collins, Shippy, Colonel Stewart, McWeeney, Gleason, Chas, Healey, and the pres Many people have the idea that all members of the Police Department are men who are confined to ordinary routine of rough police work, and that a colored man can expect no other promotion than that of sergeant and so forth, but such is not the case as investigation will show that members of the department who have received special educational advantages are holding positions that only they can fill. The man who travels post and the detectives working upon criminal cases are oftimes following the suggestion from such men as Mr. Smith, and others on the staff of the General and Assistant Superintendents of Police. Mr. Smith has always been treated with the greatest consideration and given the highest respect both by the officials and members of the department. RICHARD E. MOORE, was born in the State of Pennsylvania, his father was a coachman in the family of Milrod Washington, a nephew of Geo Washington, Mr. Moore, senior, was a slave and bought his freedom before the Emancipation in 1862, but his wife, the mother of Richard, received her freedom by emancipation. Mr. Moore moved his family to Chicago about 1858 and settled on a farm Northwest of the city in the section now known as the Dawson Subdivision which takes its name from J. B. Dawson, a colored man and former member of high influence in the A. M. E. Church. When the Civil War broke out the father enlisted as a cook in the 59th Illinois Infantry and served two years after which he was mustered out by reason of sickness. Richard E. Moore operated the farm out on the "Old Plank Road (Now Milwaukee Ave.) for a number of years after the death of his father in company with his brother. He decided that he would try his luck in the city and turned the farm over to his brother and obtained a position as a porter in the employ of the American Express Company. He applied himself to his work and with the determination of winning promotion in which he was successful and was later appointed a clerk in the foreign freight department. Mr. Chas, Furgo, Vice President and General Manager of the company noticed the efforts of young Moore and took him into his office and gave him the training that fitted him for the clerkship and later when a vacancy occurred he gave him the position in the foreign department with the results of Richard E. Moore staying in the employ of the company and in charge of the foreign department for sixteen years, and in the employ of the American Express Company for forty three years. When the United States entered the World's War the Express company went out of business and Richard was placed on pension.

"I have witnessed some wonderful changes in Chicago and it is as hard to realize the wonders of the passing years. I am given to understand that the colored population is over One hundred and forty thousand, and making a comparison with the date of twenty or more years passed and the small number of one people, the figures are indeed insignificant. Altho we were small in numbers we had according to percentage of figures — a bigger showing in business and industry than we have today. Out on the old "plank road" where our farm was located no other colored people than the family of J. B. Dawson, and Moores, were located; we never had cause to feel that we were other than American Citizens and our white neighbors showed great interest in our welfare; when a member of the families were sick the neighbors would come in and render whatever assistance deemed necessary. We raised mostly garden truck and lodged a good market near the farm, or in the part of the city north of Lincoln Park known as the Town of Lake View, Chicago was bounded by Westen Ave. on the West, and Fullerton Ave. on the North, and many small towns and hamlets such as the Town of Jefferson, Craigin, Logan Park, and West of us was the fashionable suburb of Irving Park, all of which are now part of Chicago proper. I am proud of my long years of service with the express company, and also of the pension which goes with it, and I feel that I have been repaid in more ways than one—and especially in the fact shown that, there are will make good if given equal advantage. It is up to us to take advantage of the many blessings with which we are surrounded and by steady application to our duties we can surmount many of the obstacles of prejudice and win the admiration of our neighbors. I have developed a great liking for the work at the Soldiers and Sailors Comfort Station and shall continue in the work as long as it lasts. I feel that I have been greatly repaid as many of the men passing through to go "over there" have brought back high honors." I oftentimes feel that great inspiration of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "We greet the dawn—not a setting sun." Editorial Comment of Others. Arthur Brisbane, Chicago Herald- Examiner on Fred. Douglas. Frederick Douglass is to shine in the Hall of Fame, supposedly a tribute to the Negro race. Douglass' skin was too white. Better take his dark- shinned mother, from whom he was separated in infancy. Or you could gratify the colored citizens perhaps by honoring one of Douglass' numerous owners, Sophia Anald, who taught him the alphabet and to read. As soon as he heard of it, but not in time to keep Douglass illiterate, her husband told Sophia that she would "ruin the slave and make him discontented!" if she taught him to read. That is also true about others than Negroes and mulattoes. Many do not realize that this is the first generation on earth really able to read. That's what makes it so hard to keep men in the leading strings that used to hold them. You could honor merit by honoring Mrs. Richardson and her daughter of Newcastle on Tyne, the Englishwoman who paid one hundred and fifty pounds to ransom Douglass after he ran away, making it possible for him to come back to the United States and work against slavery. If they do put Douglass in the Hull of Fame, they ought to put under his statue or picture what he said after he thrashed the overseer that hal heaten hit — "He is whipped oftenest LIFE COMPANY 00.00 ANY For Further Information Call on or Address LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Home Office 3515 INDIANA AVENUE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
