SLAVE TRADE IN AFRICA ON INCREASE DRUNK SAILORS START RACE WAR READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY Vol. 2.—No. 23 EUROPE USES SLAVES TO PAY WAR DEBT NINE LANDS COMBINE IN APPEAL TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS. U. S. INVITED TO JOIN. EDITORIAL NOTE.—The following startling dispatch has leaked through the veil of censorship now being maintained regarding events in the "Dark Continent." Geneva, Switzerland, June 1.—A new international anti-slavery league, which probably will be called either the Black Cross or the Gold Cross, has just been organized here for the purpose of defending the rights of natives or subject peoples before the league of nations and the court of public opinion. Among the founders are John R. Harris of the British Anti-Slavery society and Rene Claparede, a Swiss, who a few years ago was instrument in exposing the horrors in the Balkan Congo. It is contended that the league of nations, as constituted, gives no voice to the subject peoples who comprise a large part of the world's population. The new anti-slavery organization proposes to protect the natives against abuse by white conquerors, using the Swiss or Dutch representatives in the league of nations as attorneys. The need of action along this line is declared to be urgent. It is believed that slavery, both actual and disguised, increased considerably during the war, while public attention was focused elsewhere. Information will be gathered as rapidly as possible regarding peonage in South and Central America, the coolie system in Asia and forced labor and expropriation of natives in Africa. Reports 72,000,000 Acres Seized. Mr. Harris has just published a sensational volume in which he attacks the British South Africa company's administration of southern Rhodesia. He declares that the company has illegally expropriated the natives from 72,000,000 acres of tilled land and pasturage and divided the natives' cattle among the agents of the company. He estimated the just claims of the natives against the British government at $40,000,000. The natives, it is said, have been obliged to pay heavily for permission to remain in their own homes. The theory of the anti-slavery leaders is that governmental action is ineffective and that only private vigilance can keep down slavery, which tends continually to crop out in new forms, as, for example, that of forced labor, which Viscount Grey called "slaughter under another name." It is recalled that, following the anti-slavery agitation in 1885-1888, the project for an open congress fell through because Great Britain and Germany were then engager in bringing pressure to bear on the sultan of Zanzibar. Germany wanted his continental possessions, and Great Britain wanted him to recognize a British protectorate. Moreover negotiations were in progress by which Germany, in return for recognizing the extension of British influence to include Uganda, received the island of Heligoland. The congress which the governments finally called was secret. Two Bureaus Founded. After negotiations lasting eight months the governments agreed to found a bureau in Brussels under the (Continued on page 7.) The Chicago Whip SIR JOHN HENRY BURTON 1ST SGT. DILLARD WHITE. Met Death with the Colors HUNS CHARGE AFRICANS WITH BRUTALITY HUNS CHARGE AFRICANS WITH BRUTALITY But Frau Zeitz Causes Uproar by Reminding Speakers of Alleged Acts of German Soldiers During War. Berlin, May 29.—Stormy scenes in the meeting of the German assembly today arose over the discussion of the employment by the French of black troops in the occupied area. Adolf Koester, minister of foreign affairs, replying to an interpellation complaining of acts of savage brutality by these troops toward women and children, only a title of whose horrors were known, said that protests from the United States, Great Britain, Sweden and Norway had made as little impression on the French government as the German protests, and Germany intended to appeal to the league of nations so that the moral pressure of the whole world could be brought to bear. Frau Zeitz, independent socialist, then caused an uprora by reminding the interpellators that they had said nothing about the acts of immoral brutality committed by German soldiers against women in Russia, Belgium and elsewhere. Indignant shouts of "Shame! Unheard of baseness!" prevented the speaker from continuing. She waited unperturbed for the storm to pass; then resumed, only to meet with renewed interruptions. "This is only a racial fight against the blacks', declared Frau Zeitz, amid renewed shout of "Leave the house!" She retorted "It is the fault of all the capitalistic governments that the blacks have remained behind in civilization. The history of the German colonial police is one long story of German cruelty." After speeches by other members of the assembly, protesting against the utterances of Frau Zeitz, the storm subsided. See Next Week's G. O. P. Convention Special Spanish War 'Vet' Dies on Parade DROPS DEAD WHILE IN MICHIGAN BLVD. 1st Sgt. Dillard White, U. S. A., retired, dropped dead Monday afternoon in Michigan Blvd., near Chicago Avenue, while marching with his post of the G. A. R. Death was caused by over-exertion. The procession was stopped and an ambulance took the body to Shute's Undertaking rooms at 734 N. Clark St. Sgt. White, who was 60 years of age and a bachelor, resided at 310 E. 33rd St., was retired from the regular army in 1911 with the rank of 1st Sgt., with 30 years of service to his credit. He served with the colors in the Phillipines, the Hawaiian Islands, and on the Mexican border. Sgt. White was born in Manchester, Ky., and was doing guard duty at the U. S. Government warehouse at 39th and Robey Sts at the time of his demise. Sgt. White will be buried at Ft. Sheridan with appropriate military rites. The funeral arrangements will be handled by the Undertaking firm of Williamson and Williamson. LOSES JOB: SLAYS EMPLOYER: ESCAPES BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 1. Every available man at the command of the chief of police and the county sheriff is hunting John Studmeyer, colored, alleged murderer of James McDowell, of the Chero-Cola Co., with orders to shoot to kill on sight. McDowell, a sales clerk for the Chero Cola Co., was almost instantly killed last Monday by Studmeyer at the plant on 24th St. and South Ave. F. No one was in the room with the two men when the tragedy occurred, and no one knows the incidents leading up to the shooting, it being uncertain whether Studmeyer committed the act in self-defense or not. It is known, however, that Studmeyer had been working for McDowell, and had been the recipient of much abuse at the hands of the white man. It is also known that Studmeyer had been discharged from the employ of the Chero Cola Co. by McDowell and it is thought that Studmeyer may have committed the shooting in a spirit of revenge. At a late hour the slayer had not been apprehended. STARTED CHICAGO RIOT HELD NOT GUILTY A jury in Judge Kavanaugh's court last Friday found George Stauber, white, not guilty of the murder of Eugene Williams, colored, at the 29th St. Beach, last summer. Stauber's alleged act of casting the stone that killed Williams was the spark that ignited the conflagration of race rioting here last summer. Colored boys on the beach claimed that Stauber had thrown a stone, knocking Williams from a log on which he was floating about in the surf. A fight started and rapidly spread over the whole south side. Chicago Doctor Awarded Rosenwald Fellowship NEW YORK, June 1.—Announcement was made today of appointments of four fellowships offered by Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, to qualify Negro graduates for advanced medical studies. The stipend attached to the fellowship is $1,200.00. The fellowships announced for the academic year 1920-1921 were: Dr. George W. Adams, Jr., M. D., Howard University School of Medicine, 1918; Dr. Theodore K. Lawless, M. D., Northwestern University Medical School, 1919; Dr. W. S. Quinland, M. D., Mehairy Medical College, 1919; Harvard Medical School, 1919-1920; Dr. Carrie J. Sutton, M. D., Howard University School of Medicine, 1920. RIOT HOAX ALARMS VIRGINIANS Alexandria, Va., June 1.—Colored people of Washington and Alexandria are still laughing over a clever hoax played upon the state militia by jokesters last week. Following the attempt to lynch William Turner, murderer of Thomas Moore, the report began to be circulated that armed bands of colored citizens from Washington were about to march upon the city of Alexandria in retaliation for the attempted lynching. The joke had such effect that the authorities in Washington notified the police of this city to be on guard against an invasion by "Washington Negroes". State troops were mobilized and stood an all night vigil in the city. The town was turned into an armed camp, militia patrolled the streets, and all the roads leading from Washington were barricaded. No colored people were allowed to appear in the streets. Morning came, and nothing had happened. Several colored people were seen wearing guilty smiles and coyet grins, and finally the secret of the joke leaked out. Police are today seeking the originator of the hoax. EXPRESSES CHILDREN MARKED "ANIMALS" Denver, June 1.—Two express packages, each consisting of a little colored boy, and marked "animal" recently passed through Denver en route from Topeka, Kan., to Ogden, Utah. Orville Skaggs, 8 years old, was package No. 1., while his brother, Lester, 6 years old, was package No. 2. Their mother, who resides in Topeka, decided to send them to their father who is living in Ogden. She decided to forward them by express and, since the company accept animals of all kinds for transportation, the officials decided that the boys could be accepted. The company suspended one rule governing the shipment of live animals, however, which undoubtedly added much to the boys' comfort. That rule requires the crating of all animals sent by express. The boys, though, saw to it that another rule, which provides that animals must be fed at all junction point and wherever else it may be necessary, was not suspended. FAMOUS "EIGHTH" CONSPICUOUS IN PARADE MOSA LIEUT.-COL. JOHN H. PATTON. The '8th's' Popular Lieut.-Col LIEUT.-COL. JOHN H. PATTON. The '8th's' Popular Lieut.-Col. While regiment after regiment paraded the well beaten streets of the Windy City, marching in solemn seriousness were the remaining members of the gallant "Old Eigth." — The Eighth Regiment which won honor and fame in the late war is the first regiment to be mustered into the Illinois National Guard since demobilization. The regiment is commanded by Col. Otis P. Duncan, with Lieut.-Col. John H. Patton, second in command. These eofficers led the colored regiment in the parade. They were the center of attraction in the crowded streets, as the throngs gathered to pay tribute to their dead. The commanding officers are now strengthening the regiment by recruiting to fill the gaps in their shelltorn ranks. All colored men of age, health, and intelligence are qualified. BISHOP WARNER DIES Charlotte, N. C., June 1.—Bishop Andrew J. Warner, of the A. M. E. iZon Church, one of the leading clergymen of the country, died at his home here yesterday after a brief illness. Bishop Warner was 70 years of age, and had served as a bishop twelve years and as a minister forty years. Bishop Warner was a member of the G. A. R., having served in the Union Army as a drummer boy during the civil war. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR EIGHT PAGES RACE lies on P Colored Child Wins 1st Prize in Baby Contest New York, May 29.—The champion baby of Manhattan is Audrey Tripp, three years and nine months old, of No. 41 East 133rd street.—This Negro child has been awarded a gold and silver medal for being the best prepared school child in his home district and in Manhattan. The awards were made on merits in a physical examination for nutrition, general demeanor, character, feeding and care. They were presented at the Milk and Baby Show in the Grand Central Palace, Thursday. The Tripp child won over hundreds of babies entered in the contest. CONDEMNED TO DIE FOR ACCIDENTAL KILLING Birmingham, Ala. "I am ready to die, but I don't want to", said Jeff Jenkins, condemned murderer, who is to be hanged in the Hinds county jail Friday, for the killing of John Lynch, a guard at the county convict farm. Jenkins was brought to the city jail Sunday night from Meridian, where he had been confined for safe keeping, since his conviction in the Hinds circuit court. He is a colored man of powerful physique, weighing more than 200 pounds, and fully six feet in height. The prisoner was despondent when seen in the death cell at the county jail today. His first visitor was C. Hamilton, a local attorney, who was appointed by the court to defend him at the murder trial several months ago, and who brought the news that Governor Russell had refused to interfere with the death sentence. "I certainly hate to die", sighed Jenkins, "for I didn't intend to kill Lynch at all. It was an accident". Jenkins declared his accomplice, Maggie Thomas, who is now serving a ten year term in the penitentiary, hatched the plot to escape from the convict farm, and being infatuated wit the woman, he consented to join her, he insists, however, that the shooting was accidental, that he merely intended to frighten the guard and not kill him. Jenkins was asked if he desired a spiritual adviser and requested that a priest be sent to visit him which was done. He says that he has been praying for several months, and has made peace with God. CLAIM NO G.O.P. EXISTS IN FLORIDA Florida's three cornered contest between twenty-four delegates for the peninsula states eight delegates in the republican national convention is proving a hard nut to crack. The national committee decided Tuesday to eliminate the "illy white" set of contestants and to hear the other two groups fight it out further. One of these groups is headed by National Committeeman Bean and State Chairman Gerow. The other is headed by H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville and J. E. Merrill. Certain Committeemen also felt that the contest had proved one statement—that the Republican party (Continued on page 6.) PRICE FIVE CENTS WAR Parade CELEBRATE ON DECORATION DAY WITH RIOT Waukegan, Ill., June 1. — Serious race rioting broke out here shortly before midnight here last night amongst drunken sailors from the Great Lakes Naval Station and colored people. Many were chased through the streets and their homes and hotels pillaged. Colored and white boys had been playing together in the streets when a rock thrown by some one in the crowd struck an automobile driven by a naval officer. Word was circulated that a colored boy man thrown the stone, and sailors and marines who were on holiday leave in the town quickly gathered, many of them under the influence of liquor. They gathered about the Sherman House, a colored hotel, and some Southerners in the crowd are said to have started the cry, "Lynch 'em." Occupants of the hotel, fearing a repetition of characteristic Southern atrocities, began firing into the crowd. It has not yet been ascertained whether any of the rioters were wounded. The firing was a signal to the crowd of drunken sailors. They began to throw stones and other missiles. Some of them charged the place and overthrew furniture before they were repulsed by the defenders. Those on the outside succeeded in breaking all the windows in the hotel. INSANE MAN POSES AS TARGET; SHOT DEAD LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 1. Sherman Dean, colored, an inmate of the state Hospital for Nervous Diseases, was shot and almost instantly killed last Monday by H. F. Brown, a plumber employed by the institution. The coroner returned a verdict of accidental killing. Dean had been assigned to help Brown do some plumbing work in one of the wards of the hospital. The two were at work, when H. L. Plant, one of the attendants, waived up to them and began a conversation which finally drifted toward firearms. Plant, it is said, remarked that he had a good revolver to sell. Brown said that he might buy it, and Plant went to his room and got the pistol and returned with it. Plant told Brown that the revolver was not loaded. Dean was standing a few feet away from the two other men at the time, and Brown is said to have called out to him and asked him to pose as a target while he examined the sights of the pistol. Dean did so, and Brown snapped the trigger. Twice it snapped harmlessly and the third time a bullet was discharged. Dean cried out and sank to the floor. Physicians were called, but the insane man died a short time before they arrived. The bullet entered his left chest and left the body underneath the shoulder blade. Brown has been released, and it is said that the matter is at an end. UNDER THE LASH OF THE” 47/4 wi - Sad al Es - Major Genera! Jackson, alderman of the Second Ward, sent out 50 petitions to colored people to be signed by them for @ public library in their ward. Only 25 were returned signed. Suppose they had been petitions to bring back liquor. How many would have been filled out? Dorsey Chambliss, the colored policeman accused of con- tributing to tho delinquency of a wayward white girl was con- vieted, The evidence, according to popular opinion, merited a discharge. wo gstay Gh, well, why should the spirit of justice be proud ~~ When a man is guilty if he looks like a cloud? Sunday in Chicago would not suggest that “The Lord is in holy place, let all the earth keep silence before him,” To th> eonirary, instead of being a Holy Day, Sunday in Chicago is a Holiday. Bands piay rag-time, automobiles parade, gay colors flash, matidiin laughter fills the air, The air is filled with tobacco smoke, slang and profanity. What would Jesus say if he should come to Chicago on Sunday? Ask the politicians. Why do all the carnivals, Bazaars, and fakirs prey on co!- ored neighborhoods? They have a chicken lottery and a African Ball Dodger at 36th and State Sts. We wish they would put some of these so-called big Negroes to dodge the balls of the New Negroes and we would gladly consent to be fleeced. A bailiff in the City Hall pushed a colored lady out of line for the Chambliss trial and told her to get behind the white women. It didn’t surprise us at all, as anything can happen in “City Halli.” American Marines (No need to say White, here) do not be- lieve in social equality here in America, but when in Haiti, away from under the blue eyes of their own fairhaired femin- ity, do not object to public appearance with native black and brown women. We hear no objection on the part of the Wo- mens’ Club of Chicago (white) to these “black and tan” asso- ciations. Assistant State’s Atty. Niemeyer, apparently not having any facts to persuade the jury in the Chambliss case, indulged in a tirade against dens of vice which are said to infest the South Side. It may be that the State’s Attorney does not need any law to convict a colored man, and is certain that prejudice will win where mere matter of law fails. In the New Majority, Mr. Dooley sys:—“Don’t ask f'r rights. Take them, an’ don’t let anny wan giv thim to ye. A sight that is hapded to ye f'r nawthin.has somethin’ sh waiter, with it”. So do we.

S, Govern- ment was the most unfair employer of labor in the country is the echo of @ sentiment in the heart of many patriotic Americans. Perhaps it is because we want everything connec- ted with the intimate working of the Government—including its salaries— to be like Caesar's wife, above re- proach; or perhaps it is because of the seeming hopelessness of effecting a salary increase for these truly loyal and efficient workers that we make it our concern, ‘The accuracy with which the mails are handled; the few errors oceur- ring in its transmission; the regular- ity with which the local postman rings the bell two or three times a day, makes us wonder where they get the vim that results in so much efficien- cy. Hardly from their salary, so it must be from the fact that they over- iook Uncle Sam’s indifference in pay- ing them a higher wage and simply work on for the joy of helping him out. © Judge Landis has come out open- ly as their champion in the matter of securing justice for them. “During the war”, he said, “I advised postal and other federal employees to hold off—to go easy—to stick to their jobs because we were at war, and when the war was over, I told them: ‘I will go to the front for you and try to get justice.’ ” Yes, it is merely that, the postal and other federal employees want. ‘The question of where the money is to come from is important, we know, but here is a simple little idea, and we are sure that if it means doing the right thing by the federal em- ployees no one will register a com- plaint. During the war we all remember that we had to decorate all mail not strictly local with a violet stamp. ‘That meant an extra cent for each letter. No one complained. It is true we were at war, and no one would think of complaining, but now that we are practically at peace, what is the objection to reviving the little violet stamp and hurrying the extra cent into the coffers of the govern- /ment for inerease in the wages of postal and other federal employees? We are so used to being throttled by our grocer, and bruised by our buteh- er, and baked by our baker, and froze by our coal dealer, that an extra lit. tle tap by the government to the tune of one cent could no more hurt ow hardened pocketbooks than a fl could hurt a steel ball, And so we are for the violet stamp. In this great commercial country, where mil lions of letters are written daily, we believe the revenue that the viole stamp would collect would do some thing toward-relieving the tension it the salary question of the posta clerks and other federal employees of course it is not warranted to do al —but it would help some.

However, when the first reports came—and the enthusiasm aroused, we were greatly encouraged. And ever since then our captains worked tirelessly and we feel that too much cannot be said in their favor. It shows that we are truly interested at heart about the conditions our girls from Ohio home towns—seeking employment in industry and business are facing, Chicago with its great industries and its incessant call for our girls to fill the places hereforeto have each limited opportunity. It time we were walking up to their need. Much has been done for the young men of Chicago, but it seems as though the girls have been neglected. You who have daughters, sisters, nieces or cousins should do your "bit." The Drive Is Still Open. COMMUNITY NOTES On Wednesday, May 23, 6:30 to 7:30 P.

Mayer, a colored waiter. ‘The trouble began when Mayer made-a slighting remark to Wilson, ‘and grabbing him by the hair, struck him in the face. Wilson, in an at- tempt to defend himself, grabbed a water pitcher and, as he raised it, Mayer drew a revolver and pointed it at Wilson. Immediately the student ody was in an uproar, and rallied to the defense of Wilson. Students Clamor for Him. Lowering his revolver Mayer made ‘a dash for the stairway and escaped Jn the meantime the police had beer Suinmoned, but when they arrives they found only a seething mass of Students, clamoring for the escape waiter. ‘The trouble between the colore waiter ‘and the students, many 0 whom are southerners, started abou x month ago. At that time, th students say, Mayer was insulted bi several students, and in a near rio then dishes were thrown freely. Th matter was hushed up and thing _ were quiet until last Monday, whe Mayer figured in another fracas.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an- nounced today the decision of its Executive Committe at Headquarters, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, to sup- port energetically the Anti-Lynching Bill which was reported favorably by the House Judiciary Committee on May 22, and placed on the House calendar for early consideration. The Association has requested its branches in states where colored people have a vote and can effect the political situation to let their Congressmen know at once that they wish to have this bill passed. ‘The Association further stated jthat this fayorable report of the House Judiciary Committee is the first direct result of the editors of the Association to secure federal ac tion against lynching. Last fall an¢ winter the Association carried on ar active campaign in the press and be fore Congress to secure an investi gation of race riots and lynching an¢ the passage of an act making lynch ing a federal offense, and on Jan uary 29, 1920, the National Associa |tion and other organizations ap |pewred at a hearing of the Hous Judiciary Committee in.

White Woman Saye Bouth Is the Gar. den Spot for Mulatoes and White Men Are the Gardeners and Tremble Before This Question. Baltimore, Md.—When it comes to. upstanding, unquestioned propaganda of justice, a young white women sign herself “Miss Critical Observer,” a the following story in the right place, the Baltimore American, “Says “Miss Observer ‘American white women have for decades have been blindfolded and duped as to the colored man, ‘The Colored man has been held up before our eyes as a lustful and vicious creature. As a consequence, great mugs ot oe Songs lack of indi- wl , becausé ignorance of literature and statistics, bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted, and unfounded charge against the Col- ored man as n class. But the un-| deniable rock-botton truth is that Colored men are no more prone to commit heinous crimes against wom- en than are other men, If there be any doubt of the truth of this state- ment let them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lech- | erous crimes against women, and | their doubts will vanish. The resuly| of $he comparison will be in fayor of the Colored man, If I were to pub-| lish the figures I have on my desk’ I would startle my readers. Colored men in other countries such as Can- ada, Central America, South Amer- iea, West Indies and Africa are not| pictured as the arch assailants of | women. In fact, it is said that the] attitude of the native African toward | women is superior in point of decency | to that of men in most highly cul tured countries. When I am told that the Colored man is so lustfully in- clined, I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mulattoes in the United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble be- fore this question, They know they are responsible, Yet many of them are always telling us women about “Negro rapists.” In the South, my native home, where there is the loud- est cry about “race separation” and “white purity”, the greatest mingling of white men and Colored women takes place. ‘The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. It must not be assumed that the white woman will always remain ig- norant of an indifference to this fact, Many of us are wide awake and are thinking, although only a few of us dare to express ourselves publicly on to know the reason for this denuncia- this question. i Of course I am intelligent enough tion of the Colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap as wide as possible between the white woman and the Colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and the Colored woman? Why are our men not punished for intimate relations with Colored women. No! This would interfere with the white man’s social freedom, Yet they arrogate unto themselves the right of supreme dictator as to the race or color of ‘men with whom we must or must not mingle, while they will brook no in- terference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and hecome intimate, With all the emphasis at my come, mand I affirm that the Colored man is not the unworthy ereature that the press, platform, pulpit, and the mo- vies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusions is being gradually removed from white women’s eyes. ROBBED OF LIFE’S SAV- INGS WHILE IN BOARD- ING HOUSE. DIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 1. — Benjamin Wood, eglored, an aged miner, has been digging coal in the mines around Birmingham — and dreaming of taking a trip North for the past fifty-seven years of his life. By herd work and careful -spend- ing he had managed to save $2,708, which he had deposited in the First National Bank. Last week he drew his entire savings from the bank, proceeded to the ticket office and purchased tickets to Detroit for him- self, his wife, and his child, where they had planned to spend the bal- ance of their lives. ‘The furniture they had used for a quarter of a century had been erated endl sent ahend. ‘Che migrating family entered the railroad station just a few minutes hefore train time, and as he mounted the steps of the train Wood fumbled at his hip pocket to make sure that his wallet was in place. His wife stopped when she saw that he was frantically ransacking his other pock- cts. When they both began to search the floor of the station, for he had lost the pocketbook containing his entire fortune. Several people joined in the search, as the old man seemed half crazed over his loss. A policeman joined in the search and lifted the old man's coat-tails. The entire lower part of his hip pocket was gone. A pickpocket in the surging crowd at the station had rubbed against him apd with a sharp knife had cut a hole in his pocket and stolen his life's avings Wood goes back to work today a sadder but wiser man.

AN the artificial hands and limbs fitted at Roehampton, the famous English institution for teaching voca- tions to maimed fighters, have to be imported from the United States and are made from measurements taken by an American expert. Though all sorts of inducements had been held out, no Briton had been able to invent a hand or arm that came any- where near to those imported from America. ‘The American expert, Mr. 'V. S. Borreld, in charge of the ““Garnes Artificial Arms and Hands Bureau” at Roehampton, picked a ‘match out of a box, struck it, and lit his cigarette with his artificial hand. ‘He was able to write with a flourish, ‘and seemed to suffer little incon- venience from his disability. To demonstrate how the artificial hand ‘and arm works, he shows the, interior ‘of one of the arms that has @ hand attached to it, As soon.as. the inner ‘mechanism ix seen it is quite easy to understand how, by merely rais- ing or lowering the shoulders, ropes are pulled and wheels set going which take the place of the muscles and ‘tendons of the natural arm and hand.

The Methodist Episcopal Church recently in General Conference at Des Moines broke through the thin veneer of hypocrisy with which it has surrounded itself and took a definite stand for JIM CROW CHRISTIANITY. Two colored ministers were elected to the bishopric with the distinct proviso that they should never preside over a white diocese. One of them has already been figuratively buried in the jungles of Africa. The elevation of these two reverend gentlemen to the highest ecclesiastical rank attainable in Protestantism was heralded in both ecclesiastical and secular circles as an act of eminent fairness on the part of the General Conference and as an attainment of marked distinction on the part of the two new bishops. Near sighted Negro Methodists experienced a feeling of elation and saw the millenium roll a cycle nearer. They had not the insight to see that THEY HAD ONCE MORE ACCEPTED THE HALF LOAF. The election of these two bishops was impossible until it was definitely understood and publicly announced that "there need be no fear that a Negro bishop will ever preside over a white diocese". Thus the Christian religion has been profaned, defiled, and seed. Every Negro in the connection has been insulted the city Sunil. THE HOLY MEMORY OF JESUS CHRIST HIM-HAS BEEN ASSAILED. The General Conference would have us believe that were the Savior on earth today he would allow Black Apostles to preach to Black Christians, only. By taking this open and definitely discriminatory stand, they serve notice on Heaven and Earth that the Christianity of the lowly Nazarene is not the christianity of the Year of Our Lord 1920. They have stricken from their Bible the brotherhood of men, and have inserted in its place the brotherhood of some men and the segregation of others. HOW LONG, OH, HOW LONG, will the Negro with his "log cabin philosophy" accept the half loaf! How long will he adhere to a church that preaches Jim Crow Christianity to him! How long will he accept his conception of the Almighty God from an ecclestiasticism that preaches one system of godliness and practices another! Thus stamped as an undesirable and an incompetent by the earthly representatives of the Living God, Jim Crowed even in his attempts to lay hold on salvation, the Negro should break away from this distorted conception of a Jim Crow God, should organize and worship the TRUE GOD, whom we believe makes no color distinction, or else align himself with the Christians of other denominations in our Race, who, with shoulders unbent, and heads bowed only to the Almighty, subscribe to the racial superiority of NO MAN!

NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE The last census gives Chicago a colored population of 144,000. Adding the 10,000, who, for economic reasons are passing for white, and the 5,000 whom the enumerators failed to count, the grand total will approximately reach 160,000. About 100,000 of this number are receiving incomes for their labor. At a very low average rate of three dollars a day, their daily collective income is three hundred thousand dollars. This does not include the wealthy who receive collectively thousands of dollars per day from their investments. It has been estimated by staticians that colored people make only about $20\%$ of their expenditures with the white merchants in their respective neighborhoods, and only $\frac{1}{2}$ of $1\%$ with the colored. The rest goes to the "Loop" and elsewhere. This is a disgrace to both the colored and white business men of the community. Both are equally to blame. The white business man to a large extent has assumed that "he knows colored people." In addition to this he has also fooled himself into believing that he did not have to make any special inducements to get their patronage. On the other hand, the colored business men have been so busy dancing to the music of unscrupulous white politicians that they have failed to organize the people into co-operative commercial enterprises. The only thing that has been done to resent the dogmatic far fetched assumptions has been by way of unintelligent verbal vitriolic attack. The result being that Loop enterprises are getting the real profits, while neighborhood business men have been either assuming, fighting, or sleeping. We MUST develop a neighborhood pride. There is no logical reason why this community should not support as many large enterprises as the neighborhoods around Milwaukee Ave., or any other outlying civic division. The commercial salvation of the colored people lies in the neighborhood in which they live, therefore they should spend as much as possible in their neighborhood. The colored business men have not the funds to compete with the white men. Those favored few who have accumulated small fortunes belong to the old school and are not willing to take a chance, but the race possess the numbers and the intelligence which if organized will outweigh the white competitor's capital. The Negro has begun to organize. His success depends upon the elimination of the old crowd leaders, the so-called aristocrats, and a proper understanding of the procedure to be adopted. The sooner the Business League annotates these facts, the sooner success will be theirs. The moment a white business sees an effective organization, they will begin to make favorable overtures to colored patrons. What men get by hardest effort, they appreciate the most. The economic and commercial status of the Negro in the neighborhood is hanging in the balance. Now is the time for intelligent action, not endless debate. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins Mr. Motts reached the zenith in his career and the Pekin Theatre had become famous the world over when death claimed him. He died in his prime, being scarcely 51 years old. Splenic leucemia was given as his malady. The greatest medical experts known to science were employed. Dr. William Quine, Dr. Dan Williams, and Morgan, the last of the Mercy Hospital, gave him constant attention, but in spite of all that science could recommend, he gradually weakened and upon July 11, 1911, at his home, 4110 Calumet Ave., he died. He left no will, as he had disposed of his estate during his life and some years prior to his illness. The announcement of the death of this most wonderful character not only gave to the colored people of Chicago, but those of the professional world a shock that required years to recover. Previous to the openin gof the Pekin Music Hall and Pekin Theatre no forms of amusement whatever had existed in the colored territory. A few weeks after the opening almost very block between 27th and 21st streets could boast of a five cent theatre. The funeral of Mr. Motts was one of the most portentious held over the remains of a colored man in the history of Chicago. The streets thru which the funeral cortege passed were packed with a dense mass of colored and white humanity, who stood reverently in silence and with bowed heads. The honorary pall- THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL. THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL. According to the Chicago Tribune: The conviction of Dorsey Chambblas, Nigra ex-policeman, of the seduction of Bertha Wiebek, a 17 year old white girl, marks a real triumph of justice over race prejudice and pandering politics. Negroes and whites alike should give thanks for the verdict. When such a case is put into the hands of a jury, guilt established, and punishment meted out, faith in our judicial system is strengthened. With faith in justice thus justified the prejudice which instigates race riots and mob violence loses its strongest support. When whites can be thus assured that the guilty will be punished, regardless of race they can cease to take the law into their own hands safe in the knowledge that justice will be administered through legal channels. When the same realization comes to Negroes they also can cease to resent prejudice with violence, and leave their wrong to the authorities set up to right them. A better understanding between the races and a lessening of disgraceful clashes should result. In this case the crime was a crime. The color of the guilty man had nothing to do with that fact. The fact that a policeman in uniform lures a young girl into a disorderly house is in itself sufficient cause for prompt and drastic punishment. The question of the girl's innocence or the policeman's race has nothing to do with it. In the case of the Wiecke girl, the tragedy of confession and death was necessary to bring the matter before the authorities. Once in the hands of the authorities it should have been settled promptly upon its merits, but instead of treating it without All For One Woman The great State of New York is about to endure much trouble and expense for a woman's sake.

The funeral services were held at Quinn Chapel, and a large and special detail of police was required to control the vast throng who attempted to force their way into the elfice after it had been filled to capacity. Drs. A. J. Carey, Smythe, and Fisher officiated and the funeral requiem was sung by Pannie Wise, Anita Wilkins, Abbie Mitchell, Patti Brown, James Sissers, and other great songsters of the colored race. The 15th of July, kins 1911, Mr. Daniel McKeq Jackson, William Randolph Cowan, Col James Miller, Miss Estelle Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones, John E. Hawkins, (John Bull) the sister of the deceased, Mr. Lucy Lindsay Jackson, the nephews, Thomas, Ralph, and Robert Motts, accompanied the remains to Washington, Ia., where amidst most sad and solemn rites, the body was interred in its grave. Robert T. Motts died leaving an heritage of encouragement to the youth and ambitions of the race for he accomplished what very few men, representative of any race, had been know nto do. He came from not only obscurity, but from a low and despised race. He had neither reputation nor money, but he gained both. He died not as plain Bob Motts, but as the news items of the Chicago dailies stated, "he died with the title of Robert T. Motts, business man and philanthropist." prejudice the authorities allowed wandering politics to take a hand. Instead of leaving the case clear as that of a policeman accused of seduction, politics presented the matter as the case of a Negro falsely accused because of race prejudice. Continuance after continuance was granted. Every effort was made to block justice until the case became such a scandal that the attorney general of the state had to step in and the Chicago Political Equality league requested Ald. John H. Lyle to take the Chambill defense out of the hands of his law firm, Lyle & Herrold. It had assumed the character of defense of vice for the sake of votes, which was actually an exploitation of race prejudice for the sake of votes. That a conviction finally been obtained despite these evil influences does not remove the fact that such influences were used and still exist, although weakened by the verdict. They are as strong only as the votes to which they pander. In that thought lies an opportunity for the women of Chicago to make practical use of their good influence and their votes to correct the evil conditions disclosed. If the Chicago Woman's club, for instance, shall say without equivocation that any political organization which thus panders to vice and prejudice for votes shall immediately lose the votes which the women cast or influence, politicians will cease to be panders for political gain. Justice in this case has done much to protect women. Women can show their appreciation and further safeguard themselves and their sisters by making it too costly for such a situation to develop again. case, colored, is going to Sing Sing prison to be killed by electricity. She will be the first woman to enter Sing Sing in sixyears. The special attendants will be "female death guards" and three extra male guards. An exclusive cell outside of the regular "death house" will be the special apartment, and a bloomer costume, making it convenient to apply electricity to a woman's leg, without setting fire to her dress, will be the special costume. All of which will give the future a good idea of "high civilization" in 1920. --- Those Southern Delegates. Editorial In Chicago Daily News, June 1, 1920. In the republican national convention that will open next week, 137 seats are involved in contests. Virtually all of these contests originated as always, in the southern states. It is easy to organize contesting delegations in the houth and gentlemen who are in republican politics in that section for the money and the jobs there are in it seldom overlook an opportunity. Southern representation in republican national conventions is, of course, all out of proportion to the republican vote in the south. To that fact may be traced more than one grave political scandal in the past; doubtless it will give rise to other scandals in the future unless something is done, as has often been attempted, to change the basis to one of fairness and put an end to the present system which opens the way to dishonest political practices. In South Carolina in oNvember, 1916, the vote for Hughes for president was 1,500. Yet South Carolina is allowed eleven delegates in the republican national convention, or one delegate for every 140 republican votes in the state. The vote for Hughes in Illinois was 1,152,000, yet Illinois is allowed only fifty-eight delegates, or one for virtually 20,000 republican votes in the state. Is it just that every Southern Carolina republican should have more than 140 times as much influence in the national convention of his party as has each Illinois republican, particularly when the former beyond a shadow of a doubt will contribute in no degree to the election of the republican national ticket in November? Such a basis for choosing delegates does not provide representation in any true sense It simply encourages men in the political bread LIBE INSURA CA FIRST NEG The LIBERTY L LIFE INSURANCE Illinois that will be IMPOSSIBLE TO Seventy-Five per a bank which is un the organization is ization by June 30th to the Stockholders for organization ex ARE YOU Are you willing to Savings to help us hundreds of our B colleges every day them?

And in the past, if the statements of the politicians are to be credited, much money has been made credited, much money has been made in that way. For instance John Sherman, in his "Recollections", charged that southern delegates who in 1888 had been instructed to vote for him in convention had been bought with money to vote for Russell A. Alger. In 1896 Mark Hanna was openly charged with rounding up the southern states for McKinley by the use of money. Roosevelt, after using southern delegates to bring about Taft's nomination in 1908, complained in 1912 that southern delegates adh been purchased in Taft's interest. Nearly every four years there is a fight on the floor of the republican national convention over the question of fixing representation on a proper basis. Yet the manipulators of republican politics in the south continue to make hay. From Georgia, for instance, are two contesting delegations to this convention. At the head of one of them is a politician who received $9,000 from the managers of one of the candidates for pre-convention work, while the head of the other delegation received $7,500 from the managers of another candidate. The republican vote of Georgia in 1916 was 11,225 against a democratic vote of 125,000. It was only for the delegates to the convention that this money was spent; there is no hope whatever of carrying the state in the election for any republican candidate. It is time for the republican party to reform this abuse by making representation in its national conventions depend on republican votes and not on political appetites. ERTY INSURANCE CO.

By J. Sylvander Trice, M. D. PELLAGRA. Pellagra has been the cause of much study and research work in the medical realm of this country in the last two years. Small endemics have been reported in various sections. It is an endemic malady, characterized by an erythroemia (generally bilateral) upon the exposed surfaces of the body, by gastrointestinal disturbances, and by nervous and psychic phenomena. Pellagra, when analyzed, means—pellskin; and agrin-rough, was named by Frapoli, who states that this is an ancient disease known in 1678 by the authorities of Hospital Major of Milan as Pellarella. Pellcorn and Malice or Indian Corn are interlockly associated with each other. Studying the History of Pellcorn we find that its rise and decline are almost coincident with the consumption of Indian Corn. In 1600, Barino reported a malady, a certain peculiar sickness prevailing among certain tribes of the American Indians, which it is thought, was Pellcorn and which he then ascribed to the use of corn. A few months later a similar disease was described by Francisco Seipione, an Italian Literateur. In 1680 or shortly before, corn was introduced as a food in Spain, an epidemic of Pellcorn was reported in Spain in 1881 to 1709, first appearance in that country. Gaverson Cush, reporting a small outbreak in divides in 1735, wrote that it was caused by the malady twenty-five years later. In 1776 the Venetian authorities issued an edict prohibiting the sale or exchange of ill-smelling, ill-tasting, or discolored corn because of Pellcorn. In the United States Pellagrha plays an important part. In 1863 cases were reported in New York and Massachusetts; this time an epidemic raged in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During the Civil War many deaths were caused in both armies by this malady. In 1883 it appeared in Brooklyn, in 1889 Dr. Hemis reported occurrence of this malady in New Orleans. In 1902 Georgia harbored cases of Pellagrha, since then its prevalence has been more and more generally noted. It is now known to be present in every state in the Union. Dr. Beall of Texas estimates the number of pellagrhs in this country at 50,000; most cases are found in Southern and Middle-Western States. The cause of Pellagrha is not known; it is, however, associated with the consumption of Maize (deteriorated). Good corn is not to be feared, however. Avoid eating spoiled vegetables of any kind. J.
