Gore a colored lawyer of Atlanta was also a member of this faction. Johnson Takes Platform. Shouting and singing, the Johnson-Gore faction marched into the hall. Johnson himself mounted the platform, called the meeting to order, and tried to make a speech against factionalism, but was almost drowned out by a chorus of shouts. Finally the two faction held separate meetings in the same hall and elected their separate delegates. Pickett was chosen national committeeman by the Pickett followers, while Johnson was elected by his element as national committeeman with Gore as state chairman. Those officers who are expected to be decided finally by recognition at the Chicago convention. Wins Suit Against Furniture Man. Mrs. Blanche Cobb, 19 East 31st St., recovered a judgment against Sam Zuckerman (white), the owner of the Douglas furniture store, 3521 Cottage Grove Ave. Mrs. Cobb told Judge Caverly that in January she sold ten rooms of furniture to Zuckerman for $150.00. That Zuckerman had refused to pay her for the furniture since January when he received the same; Zuckerman claimed that the furniture was not what Mrs. Cobb represented it to be; Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks representing Mrs. Cobb explained to the Judge that Zuckerman had bought the good sight unseen. Judge Caverly said he believed the story of Mrs. Cobb and rendered judgment in her favor which Zuckerman paid in open court. MAN SHOT BY WHITE WOMAN FOR WHISTLING. Natechez, Miss, April 15. — Because she could not endure the sound of his whistling, Mrs. C. W. Huff, railroad station agent at Stanton, about 12 miles from Natechez, fired upon Zelma Hall a Colored man with a shotgun. The weapon was loaded with birdshot and although the man was liberally sprinkled, his wounds are not considered serious. An affidavit charging assault with a deadly weapon has been made against Mrs. Huff by District Attorney R. E. Bennett. It is stated by residents of Stanton, that Mrs. Huff is of an intensely nervous disposition and has a peculiar aversion to whistling.

After the reply of corney Westbrooks, Judge Haye held the act unconstitutional. The State's Attorney, after the decision of the court nolle pressed the case. In an interview with a special from this paper Judge Hayes stated that as long as he was sitting as Judge he would always decide cases on their merits regardless of sentiment or opinion. This demonstrates the value in selecting Judges who are learned in the Law as well as fearless in their decisions. Richmond, Va., April 13th—Fred D. Grant, booked as white, 43 years old, and Carrie Fife, 37 years old, colored, were before Justice Crutchfield today charged with violating the law prohibiting intermarriage of white and colored people. When it was brought out that they were married in Maine, a new carge of living together was entered, and on this they were fined $50 cach. Grant stated after court that there is no law in Maine prohibiting the intermarriage of the two races. He is an ironworker by trade, but has been working here in a bakery plant. His wife, who is very black, is originally from Goochland County. An appeal from Justice Crutchfield's decision was noted. Man's Body Found In Creek Atlanta, Ga., April 15.—It was definitely determined early Thursday afternoon that the body found Wednesday in Peachtree Creek near the Cheshire road bridge was that of a colored man, Jackson Harris, who was reported missing from his home for more than three weeks. The identity was established by Lizzie Harris, daughter of the dead man, who works for Walter J. Wood, of 132 North Moreland avenue. This followed an investigation by Plenaiac Minor, special investigator for Solicitor Boykin and E. P. Stanley, court officer for the division of Criminal Court. An inquest was to be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Winston-Salem, N. C., April 22nd.—FourYoung Colored Men Were Engaged in a Quiet Game of Carls in a Colored Restaurant at Walnut Cove.

Owing to the bilders and traders' Exchange of South Bend, Ind. and vicinity being unfair to union labor and refusing to meet the demands of the International Hod Carriers, Building and Common Laborers' Union, Local No. 21, of South Bend, Ind., and vicinity, which we believe to be fair and just a general strike was declared April 1st, 1920 against all unfair contractors. This union is composed of nearly two thousand members, and is fair to colored members who compose nearly one-third of the Membership, and has colored members as officers, Financial-secretary and Vice-Pres. We ask all colored men to stay away from South Bend, Indiana until the strike is settled and not to be deceived by any inducements that agents may make to bring them to the city. By doing this they will help their brothers in their fight for better wages and living conditions and commend the respect of all true men. (Signed) JOHN MITCHELL, Fin. Sec. Stolen Liquor Causes Shooting. New York City, April 13th. — A colored man was shot by a revenue official here who charges that the man was attempting to smuggle liquor from the Moro Castle, a steamship recently arrived from Havana, Cuba. Search of the ship revealed that there were nearly 200 bottles on the Moro Castle. The colored man denies the charge and stated that the altercation grew out of the revenue official's disrespectful words. This the third disturbance that has happened along the river front in the last few days and all have ben directly or indirectly attributable to the amber-colored liquid with spirits.

Bessemer, Ala., March 30.—(Special to The Whip).—Charlie Edwards, colored, unattractive escaped being shot to death here this afternoon by an Italian jian who had engaged in a fist fight over a crate of oranges. The trouble started after Edwards had deliverc the oranges to the store of Sam Raines Italian, through a mistake. Edwards returned for the oranges and it was at this point he and Raines engaged in an argument that caused Raines to strike Edwards., and which caused Edwards to return the blow that started the shooting. Edwards ran into the store of the Bessemer beef market and a mob of several hundred gathered with weapons of every description, trying to take his life. The manager, Mr. J. D. Powell, secing that a riot was about to occur, halted the mob and kept them out of his store until the authorities came. The act of Mr. Powell saved the life of Edwards and undoubtedly kept down serious trouble. Uncle Tom Negroes Ask Whites to Bar Northern Negro Papers. Pine Bluff, Ark., April 13th— Eighteen leaders of the Negro community here, including two ministers, two school principals and several professional men, were named defendants today in a suit filed by city officials seeking an injunction to prohibit the circulation in the county in the future of a Chicago Negro newspaper on the ground that the paper tended to incite the Negroes. Chancellor J. M. Elliott issued temporary restraining orders against the Negroes, pending hearing of the suit. Similar action last week against Negro newsdealers failed to stop circulation of the paper and the suit today followed. PRICE FIVE CENTS Players Resent Insult. Willie Shields, one of the players, who is foreman in one of the nearby tobacco factories, jumped to his feet and like an enraged tiger sprang upon his offenders. Both white men calmly drew their guns and from opposite directions emptied them into the body of the whist player. Cleveland Sims, whom had been the partner of Shield's in the late game, pulled his revolver from his pocket and with deadly aim pierced the heart of Sheriff Joice. Third Card Player Comes Upon Scene.

Jackson, Miss., April 12th.—Jas. Rodgers, colored, dived head foremost out of the train window while being brought from Lamar County to Jackson by J. F. Prigen, Assistant Scargent for the penitentiary board of Trustees. Rodgers had been convicted and sentenced for life in the penitentiary for murder of a white farmer last month. When the train passed thru his old home near Braxton. Rodgers hurled himself thru the car window landing on his shoulders. He immediately recovered and started running followed by shots from the Scargent and other persons in the car who Stop Train and Begin Search. The conductor was ordered to stop the train and he readily complied. Passengers and persons in the town immediately began a search for the escaped prisoner. He was traced to the homes of some of his old friends who stated that he had injured himself and begged for food and had hurried on. He dropped from sight and no trace of him has been found. Sergeant Prigen has asked for aid from Jackson but persons in the vicinity are convinced that Rorgers has made his escape good and has left for the north.

If Louis B. Anderson gets some of the jokes out of his mind and becomes more serious, we are quite sure he will become a fairly good Alderman. UNDAY morning, I was "strolling along" leisurely thru the April showers. About thirty feet in front of Dr. DuBois has published a new book called "Dark Water", but the majority of negroes have been so busy getting 'joy water', light wines, and near beer, the good Doctor's book has not received much consideration. S me, a gentleman of color with a box black coat, a straight last shoe and a high square top hat was shuffling along, puffing a cigarette. Suddenly, a black Tom cat struck across the side walk in front of the carefree youth. The young man dashed his cigarette to the ground, swore and turned with a military "right-about-face and came towards me. He produced a wan smile and said, "Did you see that d—— black cat cross my path? I was just going to try "my wrist," but now I am going home because there is no chance of my winning anything." The black cat from a nearby fence grinned and licked his paws and I smiled and walked on in the pelting rain. Chicago Business League will soon be a year old. The older it gets the more stale it becomes. The Business League is about as much good to the colored community as a seal skin coat would be to an African. Those colored girls who work in the loop and in Motgometry and Wards and other big factories certainly do feel the high cost of foot wear, judging by the slop-sided-shoes and turned-over heels that they are seen wearing. They wear straw hats all winter around and fur caps all summer. We would like to know what they do with their salaries? Georgia goes on record for staging a great fight in its State Capitol while arguing over our next President. We thought they would fight anyway because no one put "JUDGE LYNCH" on the Ballot.

"Alley inspectors, graft collectors, and garbage investigators." We see through the glass of life darkly. Woodrow Wilson's remedy for international strife has been repudiated. Don't get discouraged Mr. President—there's plenty room in the South for you to experiment upon Democracy. The Business League of Chicago has been so slow in getting a legal birth that they will have to get a new name. Other parties have incorporated a "Chicago Business League." The men are doing business, alright, business of other people and of little value. Bill Bottom's is making plenty of money now. I reckon he'll stop singing the Blues. Excuse me! forgot it was chronic with Bill. It is reported that a local politician (white) stated recently that he could purchase every colored vote on the south side at the average price of 50 cents. We didn't think he had to pay so much. Will Jesse Binga ever learn to cooperate with other men in business? I fear Jess is hopeless in this respect. In the race for President of the United States we have General Wood, Mr. High Price Coal, General Disorder, and Governor Lowden. I heard one man state that he was going to vote for Who-Ever (Hoover). Col. Otis B. Duncan is growing in popularity He made a wonderful record in France. He put up a good scrap for Lowden in Michigan. If he can fight as well for himself he can take Madden's place in Congress without getting a scratch. Doesn't life mean more to the Negro than Clothes, Cabarets, Chicken and Church? Ask the boys on the Stroll, they know. Dr. Leroy Bundy is out again. He says that his lips are sealed.

DAVE PEYTON'S GREAT STAGE REVIEW P. A new show is on the stroll, and a new crowd is in it, and also some new ideas are advanced in it, and again, some real people work it. Broadway Rastus, opened to a capacity house on Monday night, and the fans were well rewarded, for their turnout, as they saw, one of the best shows on the road. It is billed a musical joy ride from Georgia to Broadway and affords much laughter from the superb comedy situations, portrayed by Irwin C. Miller and Emmet Anthony who both register as first-class legitimate comedians. The Legget Sisters, clever team, shared honors in the show. Their harmony singing was a real treat. Sadie and Billy McCarver were well in evidence. Their offering was new and delighted all. Blanche Thompson, that sweet little singing soubrette, won instant favor on her appearance and sang her way into the hearts of every one. Antipodes Island, not far from New Zealand, was thus named because it is directly opposite to London. The Chinese boil all their bread instead of baking it—or, if baked at all, it is browned after boiling. The largest plants in the world are seaweed. One tropical variety is known which, when it reaches its full development, is at least 600 feet in length. Like many other things which are supposed to be the gift of progress, fish-hatching is an art of great antiquity in China, the most stationary country in the world. There is an old superstition that the swan breaks into song at the approach of death. Hence the expression "swan song" is often used to refer to a last poem or musical work written just before the composer's death. The expression has also been extended to apply to the last speech of a politician before being forced into obscurity. The source of practically all the icebergs of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions is Greenland. Owing to the northward set of the West Greenland currents the bergs of this side rae carried first to the north and it is only at about the 74th or 75th parallel of latitude that they begin to make their way* westward to come down on the American side. URNS WOMAN'S DRESS THEN KILLS HUSBAND. Waycross, Ga., April 14th—A colored man and his wife were riding in he "jim-crow" car on a north-bound Southern railway train last Wednesday when a white "cracker" came through their car and deliberately threw a lighted cigarette into the lap of the colored woman, burning her dress. She immediately shook her husband, who happened to be asleep, and waking him up told him about it. The husband said to the Southern cracker "Man, don't burn my wife up." Whereupon the white man, pulling out a gun, said: "You — nigger, I'll burn you up." and shot the colored man dead. At the first station the train stopped, just south of Waycross, the body of the colored man was taken off, but no attempt whatever was made to arrest the white murderer. in Kansas City, Mr. W. A. Johnston, manager of the Grand is part owner of the production. Earl Walker, the comedian, is in the city for a while. Earl has been do- ing a single act, and will show it very shortly on the 'Stroll.'

Musical Notes America, the slow in accepting the fact, is now beginning to realize that there are many real artists among her colored sons and daughters and that in the field of music especially she should be very proud of them. Their talents lie in various directions and constantly there are coming forward those who are justly gaining prominence thru their valuable gifts to the musical world. Singer, pianist, violinist and composers are amazing the general public with the results they have produced against great odds. This should a source of encouragement to all and an incentive to larger and still better work. Foremost among the women pianists of the world are our own Hazel Harrison and Helen Hagan. A few months ago Mrs. Hazel Harrison Anderson — presented in recital by F. Wight Neumann in Kimball Hall — gave a piano recital which in choice of program and excellence of artistic rendition could not be excelled. On Thursday evening, April 15th, Mr. Neumann presented Miss Hagan in Kimball Hall and it is to be deeply regretted that the heavy wind and rain storm prevented many from hearing this truly great artist. Miss Hagan's technique is sure and she plays with ease, noise and sparkling brilliance. The piano recital by Louise Annett Williams—punil of Mrs. George Games—on April 10th at, 3626 Grand Boulevard was a tribute to the painting and thorough instruction of the teacher and the talent and application of the young pianist. It is very refreshing to find a young student playing Bach with real musical intelligence. It is hoped that Miss Williams will conceive a study and develop into a great pianist. On Monday evening, May 31st, at Lincoln Centre, The Progressive Choral Society, under the direction of Mr. J. Wesley Jones will present the cantata Queen Easier. It promises to be especially good and well worth being. Clarence Williams, President of the Williams & Piron Co., will move into his store at 4404 So. State St., May 1st.

Well, Longhorne has something more than a restaurant at 4660 State St. He has a well appointed dining room. Before I began to eat I experienced a distinct sensation of the "eternal fitness of things." His tables are all covered with snowy white linen and resplendent silver. The walls are tastefully decorated and restful to the eye. But Longhorne does not run his place for appearances only. The cuisine is what surprised me. It certainly takes more than a can opener and a cleaver to prepare the meal that was set before me. The food was appetizingly prepared and well cooked. I finished my meal and paid my check with a thorough feeling of well-being. Oh yes, I forgot to say that Longhorne is as good at selecting comely waitresses as he is at selecting good food. DETTE E.

When it is considered that I had to fight against the entire organized forces of all parties, Democratic, Thompson Republicans, Brundage Republicans, and a majority of the Deneen Republicans, I consider these 5000 votes a magnificent victory for the people. It was predicted that I would not receive 1000 votes, but the results indicate that had the money expended by my opponents been reversed, I would have beaten them ten to one. I did not have one dollar contributed to me to make the fight from any source. The expenditures of my entire campaign were borne by me, and I do not consider the money expended a loss, for I intend to keep up the fight until the people shall be accorded a right to name or select their own representatives in high places; although the World's greatest Negro Weekly said in its last issue "that the result of the election has buried the men who had the nerve to run against this 'wonderful' combination. I answer by saying that "I consider the fight just begun." The results also conclusively show that the colored people are preeminently strong enough in the District to have a representative of the race in Congress, and I ask all good citizens to join with us in this worthy effort.

If a solicer's policy has lapsed, he may reinstate his insurance by paying only two months on the amount of insurance he wishes to keep regardless of the length of time he has allowed his policy to lapse. At the same time, he may reduce and convert the amount to a sum which will be comfortable for his to carry. Government insurance is the cheapest and most substantial in the country. It offers every advantage that any other life insurance company offers, and places its requirements for reinstatement within the reach of every soldier. For the convenience of those living on the South Side of Chicago, the Bureau of War Risk Insurance has appointed Atty. Charles A. Wilson, 3114 Indiana Avenue, Suite 3, to assist and inform all soldiers desiring information concerning their insurance. No charge whatsoever is made for any assistance which Mr. Wilson might render in this connection. THE CHICAGO WHIP An Independent Newspaper Published Every Week Voll. 2.

A REPUTATION" GREEN THE WORLD OF SPORTS "SPORT SPARKS" "SPORT SPARKS" UBE FOSTER loaves for New York on a secret mission. He was surrounded with detectives, wise men of the South all day long yesterday. Fans, keep your ears to the tracks. There's something big coming off. It would not shock us if a bomb was thrown around the vicinity of 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. The Pirates of Pittsburgh are away to a lead. Eddie La Force positively brings them to the Barrier "fit." RAIN stopped the game Sunday. Hundreds of "cash customers" had arranged to attend the ball game. Rube Foster must have gnashed his teeth in agony. THE Detroit Ball Club had a colored rubber with them. Harry Tuttle is still in charge of the team. The Dodgers Trainers will be the attraction at the American Ball Park on Sunday. All the "percentage" men will be there. TEDDY Blunt of Detroit, the well known magnate, is in the city. WELL, Rube Foster has solved the secret of transportation. The Pittsburgh Courier says Rube Foster's Giants lost a practice game to R. Park's Team, Friday, March 16 at Jacksonville, Florida. Rube Foster, who is a general on transportation matters, knowing that he must have his team back in Chicago to open Sunday, secured two airships with Liberty motors; had the airships come to the ball park; put the street clothing of the men into the ships and immediately after the ball game, the bats and hand baggage was loaded on the ships. The players pil'd into the ship in uniform and dressed on their way. Rube leads—others follow! NOTE—We find that the R. Park's Team was the Rodgers Park Team and the game was played at the American Giant Ball Park at Chicago. So, I guess the dream of the air ships on't go. RUBE Marquard, who is being sued by his wife, Blossom Seeley, who is a top liner in vaudeville. She was formerly Mrs. Joseph Cohen, who in vaudeville is known as Joseph Kane. Marquard is named as co-respondent and is sued for $25,000 damages for ariening Mrs. Cohen's affections. He was finally well constructed and mention must be made of the elaborate costuming.

Detroit Stars Win In Detroit. 5,500 Howling Fans Jam Mack Park See Stars Crush All Stars. Nice weather brought out a record crowd at Mack Park, the Detroit Stars winning 7 to 2 from a team of All Stars perporting to be from Delfray, but in reality one of the strongest shop teams in this city. Ground rules were necessary in order to manage the overflow crowd. Schultz and Miller, formerly of the Toledo American Association Club were the battery that opposed the colored cracks. The former hit freely at times although on the whole he pitched great ball. That the Stars will be in the front ranks for the championship this season was evidenced by lightning double plays. Lyons, Moore, Butler, Huett and Warfield gave an exhibition of base running never witnessed in Mack Park. Holland and Cooper, the two new pitchers of the STARS regardless of the repetition of the many colored cracks that they have seen in action at Detroit has never surpassed the wonderful ability of these two men and we doubt if they have an equal.

THE VOTE Written On The Cuff A certain gentleman inclined to the "sport of buying strong drink for handsome women" blew into Bill Bottoms' Dreamland a few night ago all primed up. He had a full quart of 100 proof in his pocket, spies a fair charmer as he enters, challenges her to a dance. She accepts. The music starts. Hastily throwing his overcoat at a chair, gets a strangle hold on the "fair doll" and is "on with the dance." A bunch of his pals who were as dry a camel on the Sahara, hear the dull thump of the bottle as it strikes the chair. They are after it like a terrier goes after a rat. The owner whispers to the girl, "You are very fortunate to meet me I have a 'quart in my pocket, over there' on the chair. We'll get a quart of the old ginger ale and then the Dreamland is ours." They return to the chair on which the coat landed and see their precious stuff with their friends and only about one inch of liquid joy left in the bottle.

Monday night before one of the boxing season's largest crowds. The fight was interesting throughout and for a time was evenly contested. But as the fight progressed, the Cumberland boxer, warming up to the fight, and using all of those tricks which years of experience in the ring have taught him, battered down the defense of his opponent and during the latter part of the fight was on the offensive. On Easter Monday at Miami, Fla. Stigall met and defeated Battling Powell and latest word comes that the champ is rematched to meet Leo Johnson at the Cumberland Baseball Park on Decoration Day. It will be remembered by boxing fans that Johnson recently gained a newspaper decision over Stigall and the coming battle will be watched with interest all over the country.

At a former hearing the Commission awarded Mr. Rice $500.00 for temporary disability. This hearing was to secure for Mr. Rice sufficient compensation for the permanent injuries sustained by him. A Newspaper Quarrel. What the Hartford Courant Says About Mississippi Justice: "Unduly Harsh Treatment". Mississippi, where the population consists of colonels, majors and "niggers", to use Mississippi's own words, has produced something of interest in its legislative session as its lower house has passed a resolution granting $4,000 to Will Purvis, not for services rendered, but as recognition of the fact that the state did its best to hang him 20-odd years ago. Purvis was charged with the murder of a neighbor, and although the evidence was circumstantial he was convicted and was sentenced to be hanged. On the day of execution the noose slipped and Purvis fell through the trap unhurt. His lawyer, who was present, raised the point that he could not be twice punished for the same crime, and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Two years later a neighbor cleared Purvis by a deathbed confession and he was pardoned, and now the state proposes to recognize the fact taht it was unduly harsh in its dealings with ihm. While teh dispatch says nothing regarding the matter, it may be taken for granted that William is a white man—Hartford Courant. The Memphis Commercial Appeal the Memphis Commercial Appeal Attempts to Make Defence of Mississippian Justice: The Hartford Courant should not have written about this case in a flippant manner. It is most unfortunate that the papers printed in New England usually approach any incident in the south from a critical standpoint. This young man was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The trial was regularly conducted. The case was appealed to the supreme court and the verdict of the jury was sustained. On the day of the hanging the rope broke and a question of law arose as to whether the sheriff had authority to proceed further. There was intense excitement. Finally the young man's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Later he was pardoned. In the meantime a confession had been made by another person, in which this person admitted that he was the author of the crime with which young Purvis was charged. and had been in jeopardy of his life. He worked for the state during his imprisonment. He had a claim in equity at least. Those who sought to pay him the money were moved by a sense of justice that was entirely creditable to them. We see nothing in the incident except the story of a tragedy and an example of how the courts themselves may make errors involving the taking of a life. There is no reason or excuse for the jibe that the population of Mississippi consists of "colonels, majors and niggers". The people of Mississippi are at work, each one trying to discharge his full duty as a citizen. Very few of them are loafing around preaching Bolshevism, cussing the government and making a nuisance of themselves. The Chicago Whip wonders and gravely speculates about the circumstantial evidence and complete lack of evidence in the cases of 24 colored persons that have been lynched in Mississippi in the last year. The Legislature would have to have an extra session if they attempted to indemnify the relatives of the victims of Mississippi's Lynch Court's many errors. Georgia Urges Race Commission. Athens, Georgia, March 15, 1920. In a very lengthy article in the Atlanta Constitution, is set forth a strong appeal to the Governor of that state for the apointment of a Race Commission, whose duty it shall be o encourage and make all sane efforts to minimize race friction and antagonism. The idea was conceived and presented by Professor C. J. Heatwole with the chair of Sociology University of Georgia. The good work which has been done by the University Race Commission of the South warrants that a body of this kind could do much toward the establishment of better understanding between white and colored races generally. Professor Heatwole says, "The important thing to do at present is o provide a Forum for hearings and free discussion where ruth and fact are respeced and where intelligent action will result rather than action which brings reproach under he sacred foundations of law and order." Such a Commission would form the basis of a system of cooperation between he races and soften the present strained relations, not to speak of the effect of stimulating them to a higher plane of meeting conditions.

Gale Since 1911, according to Ambassador Fletcher, there have been 217 Americans killed in Mexico. Since 1911, there have been 544 Americans lynched in the United States. Nobody knows how many were killed in strikes and labor troubles. Nobody knows how many conscientious objectors, Socialists and I. W. W.'s have been beaten, tortured and starved to death in American dungeons. Just the other day a gang of murderers broke into the jail at Pueblo, Colo., and lynched two Mexican inmates. Daily the tools of the American government in their efforts to strangle all independent thot in Wall Street's empire, commit outrages that make the soul shudder and the heart grow sick. Fresh from the field of the most awful carnage ever known, their hands still dripping with the blood not only of the workingmen of the lately warring countries, but of the freest people on earth—the Russians—the "Huns" of America propose to invade Mexico and overthrow a government, weaker and younger, to be sure, but more liberal and honest than the regime of blood-and-iron that reigns in Washington! American manhood, regardless of political and economic differences, should rise as a unit to put down this foul plot of dollar-demented devils of imperialistic finance.

By Linn A. E. Gale. If the pro-interventionists in the United States succeed—and they are still flooding the press with lies about "atrocities" in Mexico—the Negro will again be called upon to do the bloody, butcherous business of the capitalists who sit in smirking indifference while his fellow are lynched and tortured. Will he be fool enuf to obey when the summons come? Will he once more consent to fill the wretched, brutal role that his masters have marked out for him? Is he still so stupid as to go forth and murder other human beings without cause, without incentive, without even profit to himself, and with the certain knowledge that after he has done the dirty work, he will be kicked about, spat upon, enslaved and burned to death with the same contemptuous cruelty that has always marked the attitude of the white race toward him and that always will mark it until capitalism is overthrown? We shall see. We shall see whether the revolutionary fire that is kindling in the heart o this eternal victim on the altar of greedy tyranny, will actually impel him to assert his liberty and refuse to longer be the tool of his exploiters. There are indications that the limit has been reached, that the worm is about to turn. Thousands of soldiers who went to France to save democracy, have come back with the gall of bitterness in their hearts and a glitter in their eyes that bodes ill for whoever tries to send them on such a hypocritical errand again. The American Negroes, constituting teh most miserable and oppressed element of the American proletariat, have racial reasans as well as economic ones, for immediate preparedness, not or further military service, but to prevent it. They are not unaware of this. Their two leading magazines, the Messenger and the Crusader, deal with their problems in fearless style, and demand that the race unite with class-conscious toilers everywhere against capitalism. A. movement is on foot to have the Negroes of the United States, migrate to the Republic of Liberia in Africa. The plan is a good one. Among their own people and with their own government, they will get a square deal, and they can, if they will, make that government a proletarian one. They might also effect a union with Soviet Russia to mutual advantage. The Negro has had a sleeping sickness of many centuries, induced first by the vitiating tendencies of chattel slavery, but made even worse under the wage slavery that followed emancipation. Down thru the ages, the deadly drippings from the Upas tree of capitalism have poisoned his very, being and drugged him into life-sapping lethargy. Today the Negro is not sleeping. He will fight no more wars for his tormentors and tyrants. Contribution of Negroes to America. New, March 17, 1920.—Warning us that startling revelations are ahead, Dr. Wiener of Harvard proceeds in the most, dryest, most scholarly manner overthrow a number of “historical acts” in his first volume of “Africa and the Discovery of America” (Innes & Sons, Philadelphia; pp. 290). He transfers from the Indian to the Negro the credit for giving to the world some of its most valuable possessions, reaching his conclusions thru an exhaustive examination of the cultural influences of Europe upon the Indian languages. “When I began my scrutiny,” writes Dr. Wiener, “I was firmly convinced, as is the universal belief, that tobacco, manioc, yams, sweet potatoes and dapunets were blessings bestowed by the Indians. "A cursory study excluded the yam and the manioe. Soon the peanuts followed. Next came the sweet potatoes and at least the tobacco. It turned out that American archaeology was to a great extent build on sand. But the most painful discovery was in the line of Indian religion. Here everything turned out to by topsy-turvy." By devious and dour linguistic roads the scholar goes on to show that the Negroes have had far greater influence upon American civilization than has been supposed, and he promises to prove to us later that our Indian medicine man to an extraordinary extent owes his evolution to the African medicine man, who in turn derives his wisdom from the popular Arabic medical science and religion. But to most of us the worst blow will be that America can no longer claim the prime eval cigar. In the year 400 they will read over phonograph records as we do the Babylonian bake shards now. From The Pen Of The Mysterious Poet None May Know Who I Am. Born In Appomattox Club M. P. The poet so wise, so mysterious and bold, Will visit each member, both new and old. In order to learn from everyone. Just how they expect the new home to be run. "I'll first make a visit to Watkins", he said. For he is of course, the man at our head He should always come first in everything new. So to him I will go for my first interview To the president's office, he quickly rode. And into his presence, soon strode Mr Watkins was found, book in his paw Busily reading some hard points of law. "Good morning, young man, have a seat, he said, And tell me what business you have with me. Please be as brief as you possibly can, For I am an awfully busy man". "Are you in trouble: do you wish a divorce? Or are you trying to duck the police force?" Perhaps you would like to secure a loan Upon your piano, your wife or your home". Pardon me sir, said the poet, "I've come To learn how you'd have our new clut Tell us, dear president, what is your plan? I'm sure it will interest every man." "Why of course?" answered Watkins, with a broad grin. For this subject was nearest and dearest to him, he cared for them both night and He works hard for our club both night and day. So pay strict attention, to what he will say. "I would have", said Watkins. "a handsome place. Which would be a great credit to all of Which would be a great credit to all of our race. A place where our members could congregate, With everything cosy and up to date". "A bowling alley, and new billiard halls, And first-class floors in the dancing halls, More books and tables, and new lounging chairs, A beautiful carpet upon the stairs". "Some boxing gloves, and a punishing bag, To use when the members pull off a stag, Extra fine cards for those who play poker, Cigarette and cigars when we give a smoker". "We'll have plenty to drink and also to eat, Brilliant bright lights and sufficient heat. Our church must always be cheerful and bright. From early morning till late at night". "There are other good things I'll not ment tion this time. But I'll guarantee that they'll be super- fine. When it comes that great opening night, YE GODS AND GREAT FISHES, 'TWILL BE A GRAND SIGHT". The poet was forced to cut short Watkins' talk, So said he, "Mr. Watkins, I must take a walk You be our club so deeply, I fear You could talk about it a whole darn year"'. The poet then had he, Watkins adieu, As other members he must interview, But ere he left, he shook the hand Of the best club president in the land. Save Discharge Papers Suggestion Made That Document Be Filed With County Recorder for Future Use. A notice was sent out by National Commander Franklin D'Olier, urging upon the adjutants of all state departments to take steps for the safeguarding of the precious certificates and to advise the recording of them with the recorder of the county in which they live. "Department adjutants are urged to instruct their department historians on the advisability of all exservice men officially recording their discharge papers with the recorder of their county. "The desirability and importance of every member of the American Legion conforming with this suggestion are evidenced by the many instances in which claims are being made where the discharge papers are either lost or destroyed. "To provide for this emergency the department historian should make all necessary inquiries and obtain full information incidental to recording them from the offices of the county recorder. "It would be well to bring to bear upon the minds of our comrades that the official form' of discharge is an instrument that cannot be duplicated, although it may be possible to obtain a form in lieu thereof; that, although it may not be held with any particular pride today, there will come a time with increasing years when a considerable amount of sentiment will center around the discharge paper. "In the State of Pennsylvania today the ex-service man is granted certain state benefits. As time goes on there will undoubtedly be further concessions by the several states for the benefit of the men who served in the world war and their dependents, in which event, if it is impossible for any reason to produce the original discharge, a means of sufficient evidence would be furnished for the claim through the record in the county recorder's office without either worry or trouble." ALL-INDIAN CAVALEY TROOP CHEYENEE, Wyo., April 5th. — Wyoming is to have a National Guard cavalry troop composed wholly of "braves" of the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indian tribes, resident in the Wind Biver district, according to a recent announcement by Adjuntant General Timothy McCoy. This unit, it is believed here, will be the first all Indian guard detachment ever formed. We are indebted to Major Moton, head of the famous Tuskegee Institute, for the information that the Governors of North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee have pledged themselves that there shall be no lynchings of colored men in their States while they are in office, if they can help it. This is a very fine agreement and something that has never been known in the United States before. It means that the chief executives of the States mentioned have decided that law and order shall prevail and that persons accused of the crimes that used to bring lynch law upon themselves — and upon some who were innocent, no doubt — shall have due process of law in the determining of the charges against them. It may be questioned what power the Governors can have in the way of preventing lynchings. The answer to that is found in the recent action of the Governor of Kentucky who prevented the illegal killing of a man accused of the crime of violence and gave orders to the troops to shoot any who dared to dispute the reign of law in the case — which they did. Lynching can be, and is going to be, made impossible in these United States. The Governors' agreement is a step in the right direction. Alderman Jackson and Anderson Secure The Largest Playground in Chicago. The largest Playground and Athletic Field adjoining a public school in Chicago, will soon be a reality at Wendell Phillips High School, 39th and Prairie Avenue, in the 2nd Ward. All the property lying north of the school between 37th and 38th streets and the alley and Prairie avenue, has been ordered purchased by the Board of Education for this purpose. The new addition will be equipped with the latest play-ground equipment and the Athletic Field will be laid out along the lines of the most modern Campus. Alderman Jackson conceived the idea and unfolded his plans to his colleague, Alderman Anderson and Hon. Edward H. Wright, who immediately set the wheels in motion to accomplish his ideals. This school and Ward improvement can be said to be the greatest achievement of our Aldermen and our new Committeeman. The Voter From Kipling's Viewpoint A fool there was, and he cast his vote (even as you and I), For bewhiskered pants and old worn coat He voted for Alderman Bunk you'll note (even as you and I). Oh, the work we do for the favored few And the miserable wage we get; We crack the nuts, they take the meat; They hand us chaff and take the wheat And to make our bondage more complete We vote for this system yet. A fool there was, and he goods had none (even as you and I). He worked all day from sun to sun, He got no cash, so he worked for fun; But he voted for Alderman Bunk— who won (even as you and I). Oh, he worked for fun from sun to sun And he plotted and schemed and planned, But he just could not make both ends meet; To keep his child warm he froze his own feet. But the kid hadn't half enough to eat And he couldn't understand. The fool was stripped of his foolish hide (even as you and I). They couldn't use that, though they may have tried. And when he grew old, he was kicked aside. For his legs lived on, though his head had died (even as you and I). It isn't the shame, and it isn't the blame. That stings like a white-hot brand: It's the cursed foolishness of a jay Who'll work long hours for rotten pay And vote for the bunk on election day And will not understand. —John W. Haskell. The Swiss government has established eight Federal Aviation stations and will advance both civilian and military flying. THE CHIAGO WHIP French Idea of Race Problem. A novel has lately been published in Paris which gives a French picture of the American negro problem. The title of the book is the queer "Romulus Concou," the author, Paul Reboux M. Reboux has printed on his black and white cover the words "romau negre." According to the reviewer of L'Echo de Paris, "Romulus Concou," unlike "Uncle Tom's Cabin," is not a propaganda novel. It deals with a white woman, a Parisienne, whom destiny has transplanted to New Orleans. There she falls in love with a mulatto, one Romulus Concou. The affection is reciprocated. The race problem arises. Should a white woman marry a negro? M. Reboux avoids discussion, and leaves the answer to his characters. Jacquemine, the woman, enters into a liaison with her lover. He brings her into the negro world, and she loves him the more on finding him superior to it. She is particularly moved by his childishness. But Jacqueline's brother intervenes; she yields to his counsels, and abandons her lover. Later she becomes a mother. The mulatto, half distracted, steals the child and is lynched. The critic thought the book "exceeding amusing" and was grateful to M. Rebouq for having hid the tragedy away. The tale includes glimpses of negro life in New Orleans, revival services, levee scenes and the like. It is having an extraordinary success. Among uncivilized peoples the custom of shaking hands is unknown, and it always affords them a great deal of amusement to see white men engage in the practice. WAITRESSES WANTED at once.

And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is less than we spend for daily papers less than a local telephone call less than a third of the day's car fare less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America—to you—this week asking you to use them as the channel through which a certain definite part of your income can be be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. It's a good time right now to answer that question.

In the African jungles, the Australian bush, the Arabian deserts, the Siberian snow-fields, the frozen cliffs of Iceland, and in the teeming centers of civilization among the accumulated products of genius we find the Aristocrats, the Middle Class, and the Rabble. Strange to observe, and still stranger to realize, the majority of Americans, both White and Black seem to think that Negroes are all alike, and that there are no lines of social separation among them. It has been steadily maintained that all Negroes are alike, think the same, and have the same desires. This statement reduces itself to an absurdity WITHOUT ARGUMENT. We do not take the time to refute it. We do object to and do refute any definite plan of action built upon the idea of the social Oneness of the Negro. There are three social classes of Negroes. These three classes exist with sharply defined lines of demarcation even though the average American fails to recognize them. There is the Negro Aristocracy. The Aristocracy is composed of Negroes who have been highly educated either by ex- ence or schools and have been more or less successful in class and the Rabble. The Aristocracy is no more racially conscious than prejudice, color restriction, and race identity force it to be. It moves in its own circumscribed orbit, is controlled by its own superciliousness, and has all the ear-marks of the universal "four hundred". The fault of the Aristocracy is in its inopportuneness. Negro Aristocracy cannot be recognized until the Negro race has become recognized. The majority of Negroes regard the aristocrats as humbugs because they are not recognized by other races. The Aristocrats are cataloged with all other groups of the despised race. The Negro Aristocracy, built up on fragile claims of superior lineage, education, or wealth, destroys the essence of race consciousness and group strength. The great country of India is held firmly under the iron yoke of Great Britain because of its caste system and impregnable aristocracy. Caste system and supercillious aristocracy stiffles and stunts growing racial groups. The second social class of Negroes is the middle class. This class of Negroes is the best type of the group. Race conscious, class conscious, ambitious and industrious. This type is found in constructive organizations, adapting himself to changing environment. The middle class feels inately that there is a difference between his desires and those of the comrabble, but realizes that his interests are so interwoven and intertwined that social snobbishness merely operates against the whole group. Many Negroes of high intelligence, wealth and lineage have identified themselves with the middle class. The middler ridicules the vainglory of the aristocrat, riles his haughtiness and leaves him severely alone. He is on good terms with the rabble and does not try to impress him with the difference in mind, wealth and station. The third class is the rabble, the riff raff and the inevitable under dog. He has a low order of intelligence, makes small wages from laborious work or preys upon humanity for a livelihood as the leech and other parasites. He is the common offender socially, criminally and civilly. He has little or no refinement or vision and is always seen to disadvantage. The rabble is racially conscious because he is religiously avoided both by the other race and the aristocrats of his own race. His lack of intelligence leaves him adrift upon a sea of prejudice, ignorance and vice. HE IS THE SOCIAL TYPE THAT THE WHITE MAN INVARIBLY HOLDS UP AS "THE AMERICAN NEGRO." While social distinctions exist the world over, THE SOCIALISTIC IDEAS OF ADVANCING PSYCHOLOGY PROVE THAT THE LINES OF DIFFERENCE WILL NOT BE FURTHER INTERPRETED AND RECOGNIZED AS DISTINCTIONS. The Negro aristocrat cannot ignore the thundering warning that this socialistic trend sends echoing down the corridors of time any more than the white aristocrat. The warning carries a double import to the Negro as he bears the buffets of the dominant race and groans under the schisms within his own ranks. Lineage, wealth and intelligence of the black aristocrat must work and feel with the industrious and ambitious middle class to either raise or eliminate the rabble who is the accepted standard by which the Caucasian is constrained to judge the race before the Negro aristocrat or middle class can enjoy the fruits which attend recognized merit or distinction. THE CHICAGO WHIP BLACK AND TAN. White newspapers of the city, either intentionally, or upon the suggestion of some half baked reform or civic organization, periodically give great space to the "violent and destructive evils" of the "black and tan" cabarets of the South Side. The "vicious resorts", we read, are at once the remote and proximate cause of all the vice, imorality and race hatred which "afflicts the South Side." Carl Sandburg gives them publicity, the Federation of Women's Clubs, (white), indulge in bitter tirade against them and now the Chicago Presbytery, (white), in its effort "to solve the race problem in the city" plan to suppress "these vicious dens." We do not go on record as advocating cabarets as the ideal place for recreation and wholesome amusement, but we do register protest against these pseudo Good Samaritans because of their lack of courage in not stating their REAL OBJECTION to the black and tan cabarets. This continual tirade is made because these agencies object to SOCIAL EQUALITY even though it be in a cabaret. The attack is not made on CABARETS, but on BLACK AND TAN CABARETS. More ridiculous than all is the effort to name them among the causes of race hatred when one recalls how well the "blacks and tans" get along together after midnight. Reports for these "surveys" and for the press have been as distorted as they have been prejudiced as no white investigator would completely get over a white woman dancing with a colored man. The average white investigator is not capable of telling a "white colored woman" from his own fair haired, blue-eyed Caucasian sister in broad daylight to say nothing of his descending power in a smoke filled room with the fumes of strong liquor from "his neighbor's drink" in the air. How could he be expected to correctly count the number of white women or tell whether the fair man with whom he holds confidential conversation is not a colored man and the lawful husband of the dark girl with whom he just finished dancing. It is well known that after every press tirade against the "black and tan" cabarets, the proprietors are forced to provide EXTRA PLACES FOR THE INCREASED WHITE PATRONS who come "first to scoff and then remain to pray." Many of these persons bear names which appear in Bradstreets and the social register to say nothing of the leading theatrical stars of the country. It looks as if it was all a clever conspiracy to increase the patronage of these places. The press and the reformers commit the usual mistake of the misinformed. They completely overlook the basic fact that to effect a closer and better relationship between the races, more points of contact must be established. They must get the FACTS in an unbiased manner and not interpret these facts through the green glasses of narrow prejudice. Let these agencies with the aid of their capitalistic backing which apparently gives them their license, produce a plan which WILL GIVE THE RACES MANY POINTS OF CONTACT UNDER WHOLESOME CONDITIONS TO THE END THAT EACH RACE WILL BETTER APPRECIATE THE OTHER. This will not permit time for senseless and prejudiced vituperation. Methodism's New Bishop. The general Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will soon convene at St. Louis. That it has significant tasks to perform is self evident. The hope of any people is in its intelligent organizations. It probably can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the African Methodist Episcopal Church is the largest intelligent organization among the colored people. It was the first to tear away from the white church. It was the first exclusive Negro organization completely officered by Negroes. The eyes of the world will watch with interest the deliberations and activities of this pioneer Negro organization as a barometer of the Negro's ability as an organizer and as an organized body. There are several bishops to be elected. This is one time that all politics should be eliminated. Merit alone should be the element requisite to their selection. The proceedings of the last Bishop's Council in Baltimore demonstrated that the Church is sorely in need of New Blood on the Bench. Men of vision and courage, men who are thoroughly acquainted with the ideals of the present generation, and who will dare to speak the truth in Mississippi or Georgia as well as in Illinois or Ohio are in demand. Heretofore the man who built the most churches, raised the most money, took in the most converts, and played the best game of politics, was elected to the Bishopric. Raising money and getting converts are necessary to the Church, but one giant that is thoroughly familiar with the social, economic, and industrial inequalities of the Race, who is capable of ferreting out a constructive evolutionary program to eliminate these inequalities is worth more to the Church and to the Race than all of the evangelists, politicians, and church-builders together. The colored Baptists have set a fast pace. They are emphasizing the necessity of more brain in the pulpit and the importance of a more militant and practical religion. We do not attempt to dictate to this august ecclesiastical body as to whom they shall elect. There are many capable aspirants. There are few candidates riper for the bench than A. J. Carey of Illinois. There are none more fearless, scholarly, and practical. The church has not kept pace with Dr. Carey. He has forged ahead of the rank and file of the clergy. But his brain would not be idle. He has been active in politics, and from a religious standpoint has been engaged in throwing his pearls before swine. Let the Church awaken, and claim its own! Let the Church recall Dr. Carey and allow him to utilize his splendid abilities where they will not be associated with or prostituted by the influence of sinister, insidious and crooked politics! Mr. Joseph Moore is a Trustee of Provident Hospital, the Urban League and the Young Men's Christian Association, and is actively identified with all social and fraternal organizations that are for the uplift of the race. He is a member of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Mason of the 33rd degree, and has held many offices in the subordinate and grand lodges, not to say anything of his connections with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and The Home for Aged Colored People. Mr. Moore has always been one of the most popular colored men in the City of Chicago, and his popularity has been gained thru his great spirit of "good will and good fellowship which he claims is based upon that same theme which inspired Paul Dunbar: "I am no priest of crooks to creeds But human woe's and human needs Are more to me than human deeds." The Color Question. The Saturday Evening Post's Solution Of late the nation has been disgraced by savage clashes between white and blacks. Everybody knows that old sore. When one man is distinguished from another by skin of a different color or by other mraks of racial difference there is always prima-facie ground for a quarrel, whether the men are white and black in America or Hebrew and Slav in Russia. It is a big problem in the United States. How should we deal with it? By preaching race consciousness? By teaching whites and blacks that there is an inherent, irreconcilable enmity between them which must be fought out to a finish and that one can rise only as the other falls? By doing all we know to bet them to hate and distrust each other? In short, by dealing with the differences between employers and employees? Everybody knows that is not the way. Everybody should know that teaching class division, hate and distrust is no more serviceable in one case than in the other. Saturday Evenin Post, Sept. 15, 1919.

JOSEPH WASHINGTON MOORE. The subject of this article was born a slave in Winchester, Virginia 1840, and was emancipated with his parents in 1846, then moved to Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and came to Chicago in 1856. He has resided in Chicago continuously since leaving Pennsylvania with the exception of the few years that he spent in college at Fisk University, and has been actively identified with Chicago's political and social life. At all periods we had good business representation and the businesses operated by our people were just as varied as those of the whites. Of course our men operated the traditional barber shops, and in this particular line they excelled and afforded the best that the city could boast, then again, we had groceries, meat and book shops, and over on the Westside a colored man by the name of Johnson operated a shoe store which he later developed into a "variety store." The largest teaming and transfer companies were operated and owned by colored men to less than a decade ago, not to say anything about the most excellent caters. A colored man also operated a large General Store in 29th block on State Street, and he carried a large line of dry goods and ladies' wear, also gents' furnishing goods with a complete line of shoes and hats for both sex. Mr. Joseph Moore, is a brother of Richard Moore, who was mentioned in a previous sketch and like his brother is one of the hardy pioneers who made his way from the farm to high position. He also worked for the American Express Company for forty years starting as a porter and finished as a clerk in the money order department after finishing clerkships in many of the minor divisions. The life history of this subject like that of his brother is filled with much romance and he recites many pleasant incidents of the days of old Chicago and its pioneer colored citizen, which, if put in print would read like a chapter from "the makers of world's history." I am very proud of the fact that I was elected as Clerk of the South Town when Chicago was divided into townships, and I bear the distinction of being the first colored man ever elected to this office. Of course our vote was not big enough to elect one of our own but the people of that date did not elect their citizens to office owing to their creed of race or color, but on the other hand if they were deserving they could win any reward of merit in the gift of the community. Many other colored men were elected to office the early days for instance: We had State Representatives in the person of John Jones, J. W. E. Thomas, Edward H. Morris, and Will Martin, and later on a colored man by the naem of Henry Mitchell was elected South Town Clerk. I quote these things to show you what class of white and colored people made Chicago what it is today." The progress manifested by our people in the 60's up to the early 1900's was in a measure much greater than now; at that period our increase of colored population was drawn entirely from that class of colored men and women who came here with the express purpose of doing something to bring their race up from the depths, and they represented the very best types of industry and culture. We had most excellent home communities and maintained social service organizations for the promotion of the welfare of race. We made it a practice to get in close touch with all newcomers of the race—and see to it that they were employed and properly housed. We also kept in touch with the sick and needy and when we found them in want we never allowed them to become public burdens, this work was followed so FIRST NEGRO COMPANY WE NEED YOUR HELP become antic SOCIETY of the trolled BIG ODS
