Chicago Whip

FATALLY STABS HER WHITE BETRAYER 'DR.' JONAS HELD TO GRAND JURY Morris Gets Civil Rights Into Constitution READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY Vol. 2.—No. 28 'DR.' Morris VICTORY WON FOR RACE AT SPRINGFIELD Springfield, Ill., July 5th.What can be easily termed the most favorable and important measure so far as the race is concerned to be passed by the Constitutional Convention was the Civil Rights Bill introduced by Hon. Edward H. Morris, colored delegate from the First Congressional District. Much Excitement. Mr. Morris had this idea in his mind before he was elected. Several hot headed citizens have vilified him because he had not presented this timely report to the bill or rights before this time. Mr. Morris however is a lawyer of rare ability and a close student of affairs and knew just when even to the second for this presentation to get the most favorable consideration. The section that concerns our group most is as follows: "The laws of the state shall be applicable alike to all citizens, without regard to race or color, and no citizen shall be prohibited from doing anything that any other other person may do because or by reason of such citizen's color or race." HILL FREED FROM JAIL UNDER BOND Topeka, Kan., July 5.—Robert Hill, colored, charged with impersonating a federal officer, was released on $2,000 bond today from the Shawnee county jail. He has been held here since last January, when an attempt was made to have him extradited to Arkansas on a charge of inciting riots. Governor Allen refused and he has since been held on the federal charge. His bond stipulates that he must remain within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for Kansas until trial on October 11. MARINES SLAY BANDITS IN PORT-AU-PRINCE MARINES SLAY BANDITS IN PORT-AU-PRINCE Kingston, Jamaica, July 4 — Bandits have raided Port au Prince, Haitian capital, according to passengers arriving here. Several buildings were set on fire, but United States marines restored order after killing the leaders of the raid. It is reported a secret effort to overthrow the president of the Haitian republic is being directed from abroad. Revolutionary sympathizers, however, are said to be in fear of American vigilance on the island. HEAR THE TRUTH. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League will meet Sunday at 4 P. M. in Entertainers Hall, 35th & Indiana Ave. Come and hear for yourself what this organization is.

The Chicago Whip Stabs Betrayer Fatally When Forsaken White Man Injured, Probably Fatally. Six Hours After Marriage. Little Rock, Ark., July 5.—William Early, aged 39, proprietor of a grocery store at 1422 East Ninth street, was stabbed and probably fatally wounded about 8:30 o'clock last night by Mattie Farwell, colored, who escaped. Early, was married to Mrs. Tyra B. Rainey, aged 48, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Early told the police that she and her husband were seated in front of the store when the colored woman approached and called Early to the side of the store. A few words passed between them, she said, and Early cried for help. Mrs. Early and a young man ran to his side and saw the woman running away. Miss Farrell used an ice pick, or some other sharp pointed instrument, according to physicians at the City hospital. He was stabbed twice in his left breast, just above the heart and a third time in his left upper arm. He was removed to the hospital in an ambulance of the Cook-Drummond-Overman Company. Mrs. Early told a Gazette reporter last night that the woman appeared at the store Monday afternoon with a large butcher knife. She said that Miss Farrell threatened to kill her, but Early drove her away. Last night the woman returned and Mrs. Early said she believed she intended to kill her. Mrs. Early did not know the cause of the trouble between her husband and the woman, but said she believed the woman is mentally deranged. Early was in too weak a condition to talk last night, but whispered that he did not wish to make a statement. It is claimed, however, that Early had been intimate with the Farrell woman for several years before his marriage, and that she is about to become the mother of Early's child. Her pleas to give the child an honorable name having failed, it is claimed that Miss Farrell became desperate and stabbed her betraver. HELD TO GRAND JURY FOR SHOOTING HELD TO GRAND JURY FOR SHOOTING Petersburg, Va., July 5.—S. V. Wilkins, eglored, was held for the grand jury today / when arraigned in Police Court on the charge of shooting Sam Hines, colored, last Friday night. He was released on bail. Wilkins claimed self-defense, saying Hines came to his place of business and attempted to draw a gun on him, after an alleged quarrel over Wilkins' wife. ASK NEGROES TO PRAY FOR G. O. P. CANDIDATE Washington, July 5.—Ministers of all negro churches in the country are asked to offer prayer Sunday for the success of the republican candidates for president and vice-president - in an appeal sent out today by the negro ministerial campaign committee.

SLAY 4 IN TEXAS TO AVENGE SHERIFF Wharton, Tex., June 30.—Two colored men were shot to death and two others hanged in this county by mobs early this week, it became known today. The colored men were wanted in connection with the killing of Deputy Sheriff S. C. McCormick last Saturday night. Washington Giles and his brother, who was accused of firing the shot that killed McCormick, were shot by pursuers. The bodies of Jodie Gordon and Elijah Anderson were found hanging from trees. Deputy Sheriff McCormick was slain when he attempted to arrest Washington Giles on a minor charge, officers said. MURDERER IS GIVEN LEASE ON LIFE Chattanooga, Tenn., July 5.—William Washington, colored, convicted of the murder of Oscar J. Carlson, a Swedish recluse, at his mountain home near this city some months ago, and sentenced to electrocution on July 2, received a commutation of sentence to September 3 from Governor A. H. Roberts today. This is the second commutation granted the accused, and it is said his fate hangs on the outcome of the trial against Will Simon, a white man, held in connection with the killing of Carlson. JACK JOHNSON IN U.S. FOR MINUTE Los Angeles, Cal., June 30.—(Special.)—Jack Johnson, ex-champion heavyweight of the world, who is a fugitive from the United States, spent about a minute on the soil of his native country this morning. Johnson is doing considerable road work in connection with his forthcoming fight at Tia Juana, and this morning he ran across the bridge which separates old Tia Juana from the United States. Finding no American custom officers in sight, he placed one foot on this side of the line, then the other. An alarm clock went off in the custom house and he jumped quickly back into Mexico and ran to his saloon. If You Don't Hang Together, You'll Hang Separately LYNCH LAW NEW NEGRO BUSINESS MAN PRENCHER DENEEN-BRUNDAGE ROBBED AND BEATEN HOLD BANQUET BY FEMALE BANDIT Hundreds of 2nd Ward Citizens Attend. That politics is beginning to hum and finally occupy the center of the public eye, was demonstrated at the banquet held at the Vincennes Hotel Wednesday evening, June 30th. More than five hundred of the most prominent colored and white citizens attended. Prominent leaders were present to show the city hall forces that they mean business and are determined to help the better class of citizens in this ward, make it a decent place in which to live. Ex-Governor Deneen came in person. In fact he was not satisfied at this, he brought the leading factors in the republican party with him. Hon. Jas. Haas, Tom Healy, J. Kearns, Col. Franklin A. Dennison are among those present. Interesting Program. Aty. Mollison presided. Mr. Davis who was responsible for the splendid program which included singing and speaking, deserves great credit, Mr. W. M. Linton, nominated the Hon. Warren B. Douglas to succeed himself in the legislature. WANTED U. S. TO SETTLE DAMAGES Anniston, Ala., July 5.—Demanding that court action be taken in order to settle the differences between the states of the North and Alabama, Mrs. Mary Sims, colored, created a sensation at the county courthouse here Monday. Investigation by the sheriff and county health officer resulted in an order being issued for the commitment of the woman to the state hospital for the in- Jacksonville, Fla., July 5.—The police are investigating the case of Herbert Ballare, a colored auto driver, who, at a late hour Wednesday night, was beaten and robbed by a colored woman and three colored men. The assault occurred north of Moncrief Springs. Ballare, badly injured, was found in a ditch by the roadside. He stated the woman hired his automobile and requested him to drive her north beyond the city limits. Three men later boarded the car, and when they reached a lonely spot the driver was attacked. He says the woman pointed a revolver at him while the men rifted his pockets. Ballare says $125 were tsolen from him. He says after robbing him, the woman and men beat him and left him in the ditch. Arrests in the case are momentarily expected. STABBED TO DEATH WITH ICE PICK STABBED TO DEATH WITH ICE PICK Jacksonville, Fla., July 6. An inquest in connection with the death of Catherine Utsey, colored, who was stabbed to death with an ice pick last Tuesday night, will be held before Justice of the Peace John W. DuBose at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Nina Bell Cogman, another colored woman, who is charged with murdering Mr. Utsey is held in the Duval county jail. The deceased was stabbed in the back with an ice pick, the point of which entered her heart.The Cogman woman was arrested a few hours afterward by County Detective Henry Lillienthal and City Detective W. L. Tinton THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR EIGHT PAGES AND titution RAGE TROUBLE IN MIAMI IS AVERTED Miami, Fla., June 30.—The explosion of a dynamite bomb, said to have been thrown from an automobile occupied by white men, in the colored section of this city last night caused the entire police force to be summoned to the scene to disperse a gathering of 3,000 colored men. A report that the colored men were arming and preparing trouble, caused Mayor Smith to call on the American Legion at midnight. Four hundred white men armed with rifles patrolled the streets in the colored section during the night, and all streets in that section were ordered closed to traffic. The police said the situation was well in hand at 1:30 of clock morning. COMMITTEE OF 48 OPENS HEADQUARTERS Convention headquarters of the Committee of 48 have been formally opened at the Morrison Hotel, Chicago. Representation in the convention is confined to members of the organization, but those wishing to participate may qualify by signing the membership blank of the Committee. Delegate cards will be issued at Chicago to those who do not receive them in advance, but these cards must be countersigned by the chairman of each state committee. NEW TRIAL SOUGHT FOR ATLANTA SLAYER Atlanta, Ga., Juluy 5.—Motion for a new trial for John Frazier, colored slayer of Detective Claude Jameson, who was sentenced to ten years, was filed Friday by Attorney E. F. Childress. Judge James B. Park set the hearing in Greensboro on July 26. Detective Jameson was slain on the night of June 5 in a raid on gamblers in Chestnut St. EATS GLASS BOTTLES STILL LIVES Steubenville, O.—Although Jefferson County jail attendants claim that he ate a glass tumbler and two quart-size milk bottles, Luther Payne, colored, arrested as an arson suspect, failed to show any sign of distress. Payne, according to a deputy sheriff, made two unsuccessful attempts to end his life by hanging, using his belt once and a blanket the second time. Failed in these attempts, the deputy says, Payne broke the bottles and tumbler into small pieces and swallowed them. LYNCH CLERK WHO CUT FELLOW EMPLOYEE Enterprise, Miss., July 5. — James Spencer, a colored postal clerk, who seriously stabbed Otto Parker, a white postal clerk on a New Orleans and Northwestern mail car Friday, was taken from the officers who were taking him to Quitman for trial today and lynched. PRICE FIVE CENTS 8 HELD IN FLAG RIOT WITH JONAS 8 HELD IN FLAG RIOT WITH JONAS The much delayed inquest growing out of the infortunate Abyssinian affair which resulted in two deaths, took place last Tuesday at the Cottage Grove avenue Station. The inquest called for ten o'clock did not begin until late in the afternoon. Delay was caused by the fact that the prisoners had not been brought over, much to the disgust of Coroner Hoffman. It was afterward learned that police had not made complete arrangements for this. Dr. Jonas Writes Two Letters. Two letters from Dr. Jonas to the Captain of the 26th Street Station gave the information that Jonas was in New York and was in touch with a Mr. Ellis who was responsible for the Abyssinian treaty. Eight Held to Grand Jury. The testimony showed Redding McGavich, who was captured in Pittsburg, and Brown were responsible for the death of the sailor and cigar clerk and were held on the charge of murder. Jonas, Rush and 3 others were held as accessories. Sensational Disclosures. Jonas was bound over to Grand Jury largely on the testimony of Wallace, the baker, and police officers who showed that Jonas had supplied Redding with his ideas and material. The Black Star Line and Universal Improvement Association came into the matter and it was shown that Wallace had taken a faction of the local Improvement Ass'n Branch over to Redding's movement. Mr. Dickerson, who is head of the other faction of the local Black Star Line, showed that he had no knowledge of Redding's movement. Strange Faces. It was interesting to note that most of the members of the rult present came from the West Side of the city and seemed by their appearance to be given over to projects of the kind sponsored by Redding. Dr. Jonas' indictment makes him a fugitive from justice and unless he appears in Chicago, will be sought by the New York police. Oscar McGavick, one of the participants involved in the "Abyssinian" rioting of June 20 at 35th street and Indiana avenue, was brought back from Pittsburgh, last Wednesday by Frank Stark, a colored detective sergeant. According to Stark, McGavick admitted marching in the parade of "Abyssinians" and taking part in the rioting that cost the lives of two white men, Sailor Robert L. Rose and Joel Hoyt, manager of a cigar store, and the serious wounding of Joseph Owens, a colored policeman. McGavick, and five others are held in connection with the rioting and another, Andrew McGavick, a brother of Oscar McGavick is sought. On the basis of Oscar McGavick's statement, the police believe that they will obtain convictions of all those now in custody. "I met Redding several weeks ago, McGavick told Detective Sergeant Stark. "He told me, and later my brother, about this Abyssinian movement and persuaded us to join it. We believed in Redding absolutely and felt that the movement would be (Continued on Page 2) UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP That prideless apelike simp who can find no other way of earning a livelihood except to work as an "African dodger" at the Amusement Park at 33rd and South Wabash. Some one would render a great service if they would put some lead in one of the balls that are used and then win a cigar by hitting the bull in the eye. The Monogram Theater, a veritable swine pen, is operated by a Mr. Miller who has made thousands of dollars out of Negro patronage and who apparently thinks that Negroes do not require a well ventilated place or decent performers. Perhaps the health officers and the alderman can convince him that he must give at least some fresh air to his patrons and that a hideously smelling place is not a heatly place. Those "jackies" who ride in army trucks thru the colored section jeering at the colored people. They are evidently looking for trouble and someone, preferably the police, should stop them from this practice before they find trouble. What does the one o'clock closing of cabarets mean? Does it mean that the police department is in earnest about cleaning up the city of vice and its incubaors? Very well and good, if that is the case, but if they are going to confine their activities to the second ward only part of their work will be done. The Democratic National Convention thru misguided prejudiced minds refused to act on the Irish question and entirely and perhaps naturally sidesteps the Negro question, the one point in which they agree with the National Republican Convention.

LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO UNDER STATE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION Walter White Speaks at Hampton. Hampton, Va. — Walter F. White of New York, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke recently to the members of the HHampton Institute summer school, on the invitation of the director, Dr. George P. Phenix. Mr. White, who has traveled over 70,000 miles during the past years, has investigated 20 lynchings, and has been in 6 race riots, studying the facts and underlying causes of these outrages and learning men's innermost thoughts on race relations, described the share-cropping system which led to the Elaine, Ark., outbreak; the mispresentation of Negroes in the press; and the treatment of the Negro at the recent Republican convention. Mr. White declared that the industrial status of American Negroes has been changed by the stoppage of foreign immigration; that the South on account of the Negro migration has made hopeful overtures to its laborers; and that there has come among 12,000,000 American Negroes a great spiritual awakening, through which they have come to find that important changes can be secured only through racial soli- In other days in the heat of political excitement a movement toward the hip may have been a warning of danger.

Y., who has recently come from Atlanta, Ga, where as pastor of the largest negro church in the United States, he was a leader in the Atlanta movement for abtaining peaceful race relations, addressed the fourth decennial international congregational council today on Pilgrims in France. He minded to the fact that the first slaves were brought from Africa to Virginia a year before the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth. "The present movement of the negro is not merely national but also an international movement," he said. "The path made red by the blood of the slave ship is yet to regleam with a divine light pointing the trained man of African descent back home to save the dark continent. As he returns to redeem the long lost continent he will be a pilgrim in bronze going out for the great crusade." TALKING ROCK Have you ever read the origin of the name "Talking Rock," a post office in Pickins County, Ga.? The Boston Post told it this way: Some one discovered in the vicinity a large stone upon which had been painted the words 'Turn Me Over.' It required considerable strength to accomplish this, and when it was done the command, 'Now turn me back and let me fool somebody else' was found painted on the other side of the stone. The Poles are still struggling eastward in search of self-determination.—Dunham Sun. "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man is bending down to knock on a door. passed a colored barber shop and was attracted by a card board sign in the window and I read upon that sign much to my astonishment that a "Manacurecios" was wanted. Nosey stuck his protruding nose into the window and continued to gaze at the bewildering sign when it suddenly dawned into his thick head that the barber wanted a manicurist and that was his feeble way of spelling that complex word. Free schools and awkward spellers. HAPPY NOSEY went to a theater in the Loop not long ago and as usual the white comedian with the black face was on the bill. I heard the black-faced man remark to his partner, the straight man, that he would knock his head from between his ears and I wondered if such a thing was possible. The way I see my people lavishing their hard-earned money, from the stockyards, steel mills and railroads, on painted beauties and heartless vampires, I have come to the opinion that these Amazons were the hard hitters that the comedian referred to. Nosey knows that some one has knocked these summer sports heads off and that only the ears are left. They certainly do believe the whisperings of Vampires that are breathed Delilahly like into their dusty ears. WAS walking along Michigan, Boulevard near Thirty-third street not very long ago and noticed that a young lady (white), was aimlessly and listlessly drifting down the boulevard, occasionally she would cast her limpid eye into the peering lustful faces of the male passes by, but the halting signal was not given and she continued to drift along aimlessly and listlessly. About an hour later I was nosing around Thirty-fifth and Grand Boulevard and I saw the same brazen young lady standing in the center of a gathering of Irish policemen and detectives. I eased up into the stern gathering and poked my nose into the audience. I heard the Bulls put the slim willowy girl thru the third degree and ask her why she was out in the Black Belt—and whether she was fond of Niggers. She answered. "I have no color prejudice, I believe that you Irish gentlemen are entitled to freedom and liberty, which you are fighting so hard for. I have respect for all people of worth and merit and I am sorry that I cannot place you gentlemen in that category. I must bid you gentlemen good night as I must meet my husband who is a colored man. Good night, men," and aimlessly and listlessly drifted down the picturesque and romantic boulevard. I also eased out of the crowd and chanted good night to the "Gents" from a distance. PAUSING in front of a restaurant not long ago I was sided with a desire to go in and get a bite; as I only had a few nickels in my pockets I decided that I would cat sparingly and that by system save Six Cents for carfare. I ordered an egg sandwich, a glass of iced tea and a piece of pie. The waiter handed me a check for forty-five cents and I paid under mental duress and walked out and hungrily swung aboard my car and when I gave the conductor the customary Six Cents, he said, "Wait a minute brother, the fare has been raised to eight cents." I felt the cold sweat begin to run down my body as I felt the empty recesses of my threadbare pockets. When the car stopped I gathered the Ankle Express. I walked along "dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before. And if I was talking in my sleep the language that I used could not be printed in the Ladies' Home Journal." City Newspapers Form Press Club The newspaper men of Chicago have formed an organization to create a better understanding, and to work unitedly in the promotion of the varied interests of the race. The organization was the outgrowth of a dinner at the Idlewild Hotel East 33rd street and Wabash avenue, given by Cary B. Lewis, managing editor of The Chicago Defender. Following the dinner, with Mr. Lewis as toastmaster, addresses were made by W. Allison Sweeney, W. C. Linton, J. Tipper, Lawrence Newby, W. H. A. Moore, and A. N. Fields. A motion prevailed forming a temporary organization, Cary B. Lewis being selected as chairman, and Nahum Daniel Brascher as secretary. A committee on permanent organization was appointed, with A. N. Fields as chairman, and one representative from each of the newspapers in Chicago. This committee met in the office of The Chicago Defender Wednesday night, and there will be another meeting of the entire body, Saturday night, July 10, at the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand Blvd. Col. Franklin A. Dennison was the guest of honor at the Idlewild dinner, and made an address of timely importance, in which he urged the necessity of a high standard newspaper organization in Chicago, and called particular attention to the force such an organization will have in molding public sentiment.

London, Eng., July 1—The Morning Post reviews the Roland Hayes concert held last week in the Aeolian Hall. It says he has a tenor voice capable of sweet and ringing quality through a long range, and he has been at mains to acquire all the elements of high cultured vocalism. English singers would do well to copy his combination of clear diction and unbroken phrasing. He needs, however, to guard against over cultivation of style at the expense of naturalness and open tone production. His program included French and Negro spirituals. Lawrence D.

By S. A. Davis. White Supremacy began as a world power in the year 606 B. C. White rule was to continue 2527 years or 7 times of two divisions of first division of 7 times to be counted by years with 360 years to a time which would bring the first division of 7 times to white supremacy and white would rule to 1914 numbering 2520 years. The white man began the 2nd and last division of his 7 times and his final end of white Supremacy as a world ruling power by declaring war upon himself and if all reports are true he is still at war with himself. Russians against the Polish and others, the Irish against England and so on. The white man in 1914 became a house divided and he will remain divided until he ceased to be a world ruling power. For England, France, Greece and other powers of Europe, has in their hustle to assist and defend Armenia, and by so doing gain a little more riches and power for themselves, got the white men of Europe in a mess which nothing short of the worst. Bloodiest war the world has ever seen or heardwill get him out of, and his loses on this earth will never be regained. England, France and Greece is about to drive the Turks from Europe or force them to sign a treaty to England. The same treaty of which the Turkish Nationalists leader says will take away the Turkish rule in Constantinople and other places under Turkish rule. And if this is done, says the Turkish Nationalist leader, by treaty or what not in defiance of his protest there will be started a fire in Asia that the white man with all of his combined white forces can in no wise quench or put out. For it is reported that this fire having once caught and started would spread to Japan with her forces of 80 or more million, to China with her 400 million, to India with her 350 million, even to Mexico, Panama, south and central America and to the Islands of the Sea and so on through out where every red, yellow and brown people may be found and woe will it be to the white nation of Europe for it is recorded that in this battle men will ride in blood up to the horse's bridles. America will be at a great disadvantage to send aid to her allies by reason of labor strikes, race riots, which are likely to start at any time by a heedless act of some one of the supposed Hoodlum class of their race. Migration by the Japs into Canada and Alaska by the thousands, Japs flowing into the Pacific Coast by the thousands, flowing into Mexico by the hundreds of thousands if all of these reports are true, the Japanese migration alone on the North, South and West of America would deter America from sending her full aid to Europe, in case this great conflict which is sure to come as night follows the day. In 1921 is positively the last year of white supremacy the world over. In the North thousands of whites are leaving the farms by reason of the lure of big wages and short hours in the cities, leaving thousands of acres of farm land idle. Negroes are leaving the factories, mills, farms and wheat fields and what-not in the South for a reason 300 years old, leaving thousands of acres of land there idle and causing lots of industries to close. Those ill coupled with the great inflow of grass hoppers out west, the frequent number of washouts and cloud bursts with the salt and pepper weather that we are having and many other reasons America can look for the worst famine next been heard of.

Out of the population of 550 million whites there will be 91,606,666 left alive after the great battle of Armageddon that will be started in 1921 between the whites of Europe, the red, brown and yellow of Asia. Out of the world population of 1,700,000,000 there will die from many causes beginning with 1921 a 4th part of the world's population. Many who will read this article will scoff, laugb and make fun, but to show you how near these things are at your door, we ask you to read what Dan 11-44-45, Rev. 16-12 says about the fall of the Turkish power, and the Turks being driven from Europe. Then read what Daniel 121, Rev. 16-13-14, Matthew 24-21 says will happen as soon as the Turks are driven from Europe. We ask have you read the Chicago Daily News Article under the Caption of (the recalcitrant Turks) telling in part the substance of a treaty that England and her allies had drawn up for Turkey to sign! And this same treaty does take from Turkey all of her European power and concessions, even Constantinople. Have you not read the Chicago Herald and Examiner date of March 2nd what Enver Pasha has said would happen when this was done. The ruling power of white Supremacy will be broken in America mostly by reason of the many Great and destructive Internal troubles that is sure to come upon her in the year of 1921 and for high she will not be prepared. The world of the white man and white supremacy is the World-last-night-on world to exist, before the 1000 years of peace or the 7th World. The end will be with a great noise.

The largest Bone The former big league baseball manager, who had been canned because the team finished last, as usual, was taking a civil service examination in order to secure a political job. He was amazed at the list of fool questions on the examination paper. HeH didn't know the distance from the earth to the moon, so he passed that one up. And he could not describe a szygyn, so he called that test a loser. But the third question interested him. It said: "Name the largest bone in the human frame." And with a grin of confidence the former manager wrote this answer: "The head." You May Talk To One Man But an advertisement in this paper talks to the whole community THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS. Last week in discussing the Prehistoric records of Medicine a fain idea of Egyptian Medicine was given you. This week Ancient Jewish Medicine will be discussed. The principal sources of our knowledge of Ancient Hebrew Medicine are the Bible and the Talmud. In the Bible the attitude is assumed that disease is caused by God's anger and is to be averted by reform, prayer and sacrifice. The priests, according to Holy Writ, acted as sanitary police but not as physicians. The prophets, however, performed miracles and raised persons from the dead. There were drugs of various kinds used in those days. Zippirah, the wife of Moses, used the primitive chipped flint (the so-called Celt) to circumcise their son—Exodus IV, 25 says she took a sharp stone to cut off his foreskin. Wounds were dressed, as among all the ancients, with wine, oil and balsam. Leprosy, the issue, and several plagues are mentioned in the Bible. King Saul is thought to have been an epileptic as were at least some of those possessed of the devil in the New Testament. In the plague of Baal-peor 24,000 Israelites perished. And the Assyrian army to the number of 185,000 were smitten by the Angel of the Lord and died in one night. The efforts made by the Jews to ward off disease are the most interesting features of the Old Testament, Medical history. The Ancient Hebrews were the founders of public hygiene and the high priests were the chief medical policemen. The Ancient Jew was imbued with the idea of the sacredness of human life and of his duty to preserve his health and care for his body as a matter of religion. Garrison says that the Hebrew regulation of sexual hygiene and morality invested a good and virtuous woman with that peculiar halo of respect, which has been preserved by all highly civilized nations down to the present time." The Hebrew hygienic code laid the foundation for the legal department of Medical Jurisprudence. It will be found that the Jew is the founder of preventative medicine and Sexual Hygiene. Believing in cleanliness, as he did then, he circumsises' his boys while they were yet babies. The Jew is said to be the father of Circumcism. This one act and the fact that he had such great respect for good and clean womanhood saved him from suffering the ravishes of the so-called social diseases and so increased his vitality and reproductive powers. A very great lesson can be learned and it would do the Negro race much good if he like the Jew could and would have a higher standard of morality and greater respect for his good women and those that are not so good stoop down and pull them up and make them good. Protect your womanhood and girls instead of betraying them. J. SYLVANDER TRICE, M. D., 2902 State Street. HAZELWOOD WHITEWASHING COMPANY INCORPORATES. Boston, Mass., June 28, 1920.

The first three men went out in order and it was a game of ball from then on. They played the old pastime according to Hoyle, that is, they played it every minute. There were about 8000 bugs out there and they all went home well pleased. Malarchers three bagger scored the only run and Torrenti's drive to right was foul by about ten inches and you know that Hooks hit three times safely and all in a row. The Islanders had men on first base and on second in both the eight and the last half of the ninth but failed to get anybody around. Williams just wouldn't let them. That's all there was to that. But you have to hand it to Merino. He had them at his mercy from the first inning on. Hooks Jiminez got a great hand in the eighth with men on first and second and he rewarded the fish by hitting safely between first and second. A fast man could have scored on the hit but that runner was to slow, but at that those Cubans improve each trip. J Monarchs Hold Fosters to 1 Hit for 2-4 Triumph. American Giants were held to one hit by Rugan of the Kansas City Monarchs yesterday, and the visitors won the first game of the series at Schorling park, 4 to 2.

Harry Coveleski, former Detroit club hurler, appeared her Sunday with the Detroit Alcona club in the first game of a double header against the Dayton Marcon, losing a hard-fought game 4 to 0, while the visitors annexed the final contest, 11 to 5. Behind the hitting in the opening game, the former l lad twirled an excellent game, though Britt, of the visitors, had edge. In the second game Wingfiel was the star for the Daytons. Cowper All Stars will play the Dayton Marcos at Mack park Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Cowpeers, who were idle Sunday after their game with the Creamerys, are expecting to give the Ohioans a stiff battle.

Denison, Tex., July 5.—In a race riot here last night resulting from a dispute between a colored boy and white boy, seven colored boys were beaten and injured by mobs. The trouble started at a baseball game. None was injured seriously. Wills No Slacker St. Louis, Mo., July 5.—Wills, the Ethiopian giant, appeared here several times and twice against Sam Langford, whom he defeated, almost knocking him out on one occasion. It was against Langford, about seven years ago, that the New Orleans "yellow" first graduated into fame. At Los Angeles, Wills surprised everybody by knocking Langford to the floor four times, in the early rounds, only to succumb to Sam's experience and terrific left-hand wallop in the fourteenth. Since that time Wills and Langford have met frequently, with varying results, each knocking out the other fellow. Of late the mastery has been entirely with Wills. Because of his color Wills has never measured ability with the good white fighters but some of these are reported to be afraid of him. Credit is due to Fulton in that, unlike Dempsey or the other Caucasians, he has never shirked a battle with the more deadly black heavyweights. The Wills-Fulton match is the very best heavyweight prospect possibility, next to a world's championship. That the men will give their very best efforts is evident from the announcement that $25,000 has been guaranteed the Minneapolis Titan, while the colored heavy will get $10,000. Why Worry About Carpentier? Whether Georges Carpentier fights in Europe or America, or whether he battles at all, will be temporarily forgotten by fistic fanatics, in view of the announcement given out in New York yesterday that Fred Fulton and Harry Wills have been matched to box 15 rounds in July, before the International Sporting Club of New York—an exclusive organization, admission to which is by membership only. This match is even more colorful—apologies to Mr. Wills, against whose complexion no innuendo was intended—than the Dempsey-Carpentier myth, although lacking the glamor of a world's championship struggle. For Fulton is the mystery man of the heavyweight, world, while Harry Wills is conceded to be the greatest black fighter since Sam Langford chased Jack Johnson off the continent, in the endeavor to force the champion of the day to give him a chance. St. Louisians know both fighters and not altogether favorably. Fulton appeared to indifferent advantage here against Tom Cowler, whom he knocked out after having been all but finished himself in the very first round. The match merely served to prove that the careless giant, despite the insinuations often made against his courage, is a game fellow and can fight after being "stung" badly. Fulton is a great battler with an unfortunate handicap of not being able to concentrate during the first round. Even tyros worry him until he settles into his stride, after which it's Kitty, bar the doors and draw the curtains—for it's "good night," opponent. Fulton showed his class when he forced Sam Langford to quit in six rounds, flattened Frank Moran in three rounds, and chased all the champions of Europe and France into their hiding places when he went abroad. His 18-second defeat at the hands of Dempsey will have to be counted against him until he proves in another match that it was an accident. Many of his admirers believe that Dempsey will not give him another chance. Dreamland Beats DeLuxe, 7-5 In a well played game last Friday afternoon the Delux Base ball Club and the Dreamland Club played nine innings of interesting ball and after it was all over the Dreamland outfit was on the long end of a 7—5 score. The upstairs outfit were outplayed at the time when hits meant runs. The feature of the game was a home run by J. Proant. JACK JOHNSON BOUT STOPPED. San Diego, Cal., July 6.—Governor Esteban Cantu today telegraphed merchants of Tijuana, Lower California, that he would prohibit the holding of a scheduled 20-round fight between Jack Johnson, former champion, and Al Norton, at Tijuana, Monday. The merchants had protested against the holding of the fight in Tijuana.

The mule's master made him work very hard, and allowed him only poor food and poor shelter. The mule grumbled at his hard lot. The master told him that he should not murmur or complain, and that he should be content with the condition to which God had called him. The master also told the mule how intelligent he was, and what a good mule he was, and promised him better things, but the mule never got them. One bright day when the master was near, the mule let fly both heels and kicked him clear out of the lot. As soon as the master regained his senses, he asked the mule what he meant by such unseemly conduct. I am tired of hard work, poor food, poor shelter and broken promises. I am tired of my life of constant toil. I want some leisure in which I can enjoy a mule's life. I am willing to serve a portion of my time, but I refuse to be eternally at work with no leisure whatever. The master replied: You ungrateful beast! Don't you know that I. What would become of you if I did not furnish you work? You did give me a job; but I DID NOT NEED A JOB TILL YOU FENCED IN THE GRASS. You tell me that God placed me in this condition, but I am not quite sure that He did it. I know that by taking away my opportunity to make my living you committed a great iniquity against me before you extended to me the favor of a job. BEFORE I WAS ROBBED OF MY OPPORTUNITY I HAD ONLY MY OWN LIVING TO MAKE, AND I MADE IT EASILY, AND HAD MUCH LEISURE; but now, I work hard all the time, making your living as well as mine, and have no leisure at all.

You evidently don't appreciate what a blessing it is to have a job. You ought to be very thankful as your father was. He used to work for me. He was an animal of character, always a hard worker, willing, humble and contended. He was the ideal of what a worker should be, and a great political party adopted him as a model for its adherents to pattern after, and placed his picture at the head of its ticket as the highest ideal that could be attained by a worker. I used to make your father work harder than you do, and gave him less food and poorer shelter than you get, but HE never kicked.

The many colored citizens in Chicago have again been filled with pride because of an additional achievement in the business world. This time we point with pride to new drug store that has been opened at 47th and State streets by Messers, Porter, White and Smith. These are men to be congratulated for their splendid visions and unselfish cooperation. They have given us a high class store that compares favorably with any of its kind in the city. No expense has been spared in the decoration and the appointments have been made with rare judgment and taste. In this new store will be found all of the first class toilet articles and all of the essential sundries can be obtained at popular prices. The prescription dept. is under the direct supervision of a trained pharmacist and every prescription is carefully compounded with purest and freshest drugs. A beautiful soda fountain furnishes refreshment to customers and ice cream that has made its producers famous is served exclusively. Mr. Geo. Porter is an old experienced business man and needs no introduction to the community. He is known and admired by all. Mr. Edward N. White has been associated with Mr. Porter for the last four years and has won favor on all sides by polite and courteous attention. Mr. Smith, the third partner is also well known in the community. He is the owner of the A. B. C. employment agency and has built up an enviable reputation for ability and honesty. These gentlemen are to be supported in their worthy efforts and our appreciation should be evidenced by our hearty support. To the Creditors of the R. W. Hunter & Co. Bankrupt. The Trustees call your attention that the sale of all assets of the R. W. Hunter & Co., which was set for July 2nd, at ten o'clock, is continued. We are endeavoring to save this Estate for the benefit of the Creditors, we cannot accomplish this however without the co-operation of the people which we do not get, you may not receive more than 5 per cent of your deposits from a sale, but we want it distinctly understood that the people are themselves to blame. The duties of Trustees are defined by law and so long as a matter is pending in Court the Trustees are bound by these rules, not withstanding we held for your benefit three public meetings for the purpose of informing you fully in the matter, each of these meetings proved a failure from the point of attendance, thereby seriously blocking the effort of the Trustees. Space will not permit us to deal with this matter in full detail, but we give you here two points to illustrate our position: First; There were 2480 Depositors in the Hunter's Banks, up to date, one thousand six hundred fifty-five have not filed their claims. Second; Out of the 825 that have filed, only one-hundred-ninety-two have signed proposition, which, means to save the Esate, out of which all hope to regain their money. Now as a final word to the Public, we wish to make it clear that when the door's of the Hunter's Banks closed, there was nothing inside but books, desks, and chairs all empty. Outside a hoard of disappointed Creditors. Then when the Trustees were elected to succeed the Creditors Committee, they undertook to get back the greatest possible returns to the people, we have had only four months of service starting with nothing. It is entirely out of reason for the Public to expect the Trustees to raise $130,000.00 in this length of time, when it took the Hunter Co. nearly two years to lose it. Compering the two positions, the Hunter Co. had the support of the Churches, and the Colored Press to boost its business. The Trustees have been refused making even announcements in the Churches, and all the slanderous comments that some of the Papers could afford to print, we have shown you in figures the support given us by the Depositors. The Estate will no doubt be sold, we will watch with more or less criticism (on the Trustees) the success of the new Owner of the properties which we might have had for the mere signing of our name, but, for the lack of interest on the part of some, and the abundance of slander on the part of others we may count it all lost. The Trustees will close the Estate with a conscience clear and no less value upon the honor with which they stared, not withstanding it is apparent that honest effort is of value than slanderous propaganda and false statements, and it is to be regretted that even Oversee few who have accepted and appreciated an honest effort are compelled to suffer because of others who either discredit an honest effort or give aid to the slanderous propagandist by neglecting to support the better plans offered them.

The Chicago educational campaign to carry the gospel of unionism to the revelations of the great steel strike as to exploitation of colored workers by big business. Statistics gathered by organizers of the iron and steel workers regarding the use of colored men as scabs during the strike unveil a dark chapter in the tragic history of the American Negro. Ellis Island no longer furnishes the necessary number of unlettered foreigners for the steel barons and their ilk to exploit. The oppressed of our own country, our free America, are now chosen to become grist for the mill. Brought up from the South with promises of high pay, ignorant of the part they are to play and the first principles of organized labor, these men are made the catpaws of Big Business. After being used as strikebreakers, they are then cast off to shift for themselves as best they may, without help from the powerful crooks they were induced to serve. Big Biz Degrades Workers. To see their race used as dupes to bring down the wages of white men and to foment race hatred to keep the workers divided must plunge those enlightened negroes who understand the game of the captains of industry into a Slough of Despond, the depth of which few have experienced. One wonders what Lincoln would think could he see to what use the freedom he died for was being put today. Negroes are being used not only to forge chains of economic slavery for themselves but for white workers as well. The story of the steel organizers in the various centers of this industry is graphic enough in the simplicity of its uncolored facts. Here is the report as they wrote is, dated January 20, 1920: Steel Organizers' Report. Chicago—Many mills reduced from BROCK'S Asthma-Relief The Original Prescription of Dr. W. B.

Donora—100 negroes employed before strike; 400 still employed though good many imported have been discharged; 250 Mexicans brought in during strike still there; other Mexicans arriving since the strike are refused employment; negroes came from Alabama and Maryland.

Concerning the Closing of Montgomery Ward's LaSalle Street Office (Investigation of Urban League.) Because of the number if inquiries and speculations, the Chicago Urban League has made an investigation to determine the cause of closing the LaSalle Entry Office at Montgomery Ward & Company, where until recently, there have been employed about 700 colored girls doing office work. It occurs to us that it is very necessary that the public have an adequate and exact knowledge of the reasons for closing this office, because of the many rumors that have been circulated in regard to this. These rumors will be injurious to the future opportunities of the girls unless the facts are known, because it is known that other firms are considering favorably similar offices. These facts given out by officials of the company are substantially these which are corroborated by a statement given each girl to serve as a recommendation for her future employer: Officials of the company state that the office closed absolutely without prejudice to any girl or group of girls employed by them. It has been known to our organization as early as February 1, that the company's lease expired on May 1, 1920 and that they would not be able to renew it. There also seems to have been a joker in the terms of this lease which brought about serious complications between the lessor and lessee which were eventually settled with difficulty. The company stated that they would secure another office if a suitable location could be had. Just what has been done to find a new office site is not known to the League. The opening of another office on the North Side in which white girls were employed caused considerable unrest in the La Salle Office and various rumors developed, none of which have been substantiated. The company now operates this small office on the North Side and employs about 200 white girls. It is explained by one of the managers that the company was forced to take this step to relieve congestion in the main building which has now become the "home office" of the company's business. About February 1st, Montgomery Ward is Company opened an Entry Office in Minneapolis, Minnesota similar to the one now operated in Kansas City and transferred a large part of its management there to take care for its northwest territory. This office will considerably reduce the work in the Entry Department and it is proposed that very little of this work be done in the general office here in Chicago. This arrangement therefore, relieved the necessity for the existence of the La Salle Entry. In view of the two disturbances which resulted in resignations of the chief supervisors, Misses Thompson and Beale, it is perhaps important to state that the officials of the company claim that these affairs had nothing to do with the discharging of their colored clerical force. The superintendent of expense and personnel who gave much of this information has always maintained a high regard for and special interest in the LaSalle Entry Office, said it was the desire of Montgomery Ward & Company to have each of these girls leave their employ with the kindiest feeling in order that the company may re-employ them should it so desire. No definite statement was obtained as to whether the office would be re-opened or not. Artificial Limb Co. (INCORPORATED) Manufacturers of Artificial Limbs Universal Artificial Limb Co. Perfect Fit Guaranteed All Makes Limbs Repaired 159 North State Street Central 4475 ```markdown ``` As an evidence of good will towards the girls vacations that were due will be given with full pay even though the office is closed. Other considerations have been given in the way of allowing girls to seek employment on the company's time. It is generally agreed that all colored citizens seriously regret the closing of this office as it has been regarded as one bright spot in the industrial advancement of colored women. The following letter of recommendation given to each girl is indicative of the important fact that the question of efficiency did not enter into the discharge of these young women. This should be carefully borne in mind for the reason that the Urban League is making strenuous effort to induce other companies to employ them: We regret that on June 30, 1920, it will be necessary for us to close this office. Our lease on this building has expired and we have been unable to secure other suitable quarters. Your services have been satisfactory. If we re-open another office for this class of work, we will certainly invite you to re-enter our employ. In applying for another position, you may present this letter to your prospective employer as a reference, or you may tell him to write us and we will be glad to answer him direct. Your earnest efforts in our behalf are greatly appreciated, and we thank you for the excellent service you have given us. Yours very truly. MONTGOMERY WARD & CO THE SCIENTIFIC CORNER Organized Society—Human and Sub- Human. By Robert H. Hardoen In all the realms of nature there are but three groups of beings that live in what we are pleased to call organized society: ants, bees and apes. To the last named species man himself belongs. In this remarkable fact, social psychologists find the genisis of private property and the reason for organized warfare. Ants, bees and apes are the only beings that fight wars and the only ones that own property. Attempt to pilfer the honey which a tribe of bees has stored for the Winter Season and all the little members of the colony will swarm out of the hive, circle about the intruder and attack him in organized formation. Ants, likewise store up bits of food and will engage in tribe warfare with members of any other tribe that dare to molest their supply. Apes in the tropical forest likewise live in a social group, love and respect the other members. Man, the highest ape and the apex of the animal world is the chief example of a social being. He alone of all animals, has the power of reacting on and changing his environments, and like the bees, the ants and his little simian cousin is primarily a warrior, just as the bee considers his hive and his store of honey his private property, and the ant-hill is forbidden territory to all save who have contributed to its material wealth of food, just as man has divided up the planet, fencing it off into farms, town lots and nations, and prohibiting all persons save the members of some particular family, race or nation from encroaching on it and will according to the law of self-preservation shoot looters or foreign invaders. Students of organized society divide its history into the following stages: — tribal communism, chattel slavery, feudalism and capitalism. — Most ants are living in the state of tribunal communism. Some tribes keep slaves and domestic animals, the great tropical ants of South and Cen- Authorized Manufacturers for the U.S. Government the savage cruelty of wars and the heartless inequalities that everywhere stamp man's inhumanity to man can perchance find a mite of comfort in the reflection that far beneath them in the animal world are tiny creatures who are committing theft, fighting wars and keeping slaves.

T. P. WEATHERSBY, Prop. --- THE CHICAGO WHIP tral America have been observed to enslave smaller species and force them to do all the work of gathering food and caring for the young about the colony. The ants of North America likewise steal the egg of the litter the plant louse called the aphide and after they are hatched keep the little creature imprisoned and use him as a source of food because of a sweet sticky substance exuded by his body much as we humans use the cow. African ants train and drill armies that climb weeds and twigs and act as look-outs and guards whenever the tribe moves to a new location. Apes select a coconut grove and pelt with coconuts and stones any foreign apes that invade their fruit supply. The outstanding lesson of all this is that social evolution is blind and impartial and the laws of economies bind all, without exception in one universal kinship.

A CRY FOR COURAGE The rumbling, roaring, rising, expanding voice of the American Negro is beginning to shake gently but perceptibly the foundations of the Southern Overlords, the Magistrates of the Lynch Law and the entire group of those afflicted with nightmares of perpetual White Supremacy. THE NEGRO IS BEGINNING TO THINK. THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY EPOCH IN HIS AMERICAN EXISTENCE. He is beginning to analyze the race situation with keenness and far reaching insight. He is beginning to consider how he fits into the industrial and economic life of the nation. He is no longer lulled into happiness by visions of pearly gates and milk with honey. It is his desire now amidst the turmoil of natural life to gain the things that bring happiness and perpetual manhood. The American Negro realizes that he of all other citizens is the under dog. He has less representation in the government, less control of wealth, less avenues to enjoy life, liberty, and the ownership of property. He has been told that any cry for full relief would not be expedient, that the time was not ripe, that his cries for Liberty, Freedom, and Justice would be construed as radicalism, would engender more intense friction and would precipitate rioting and blood-shed. He hears the Irishman tell the political parties to free him in Ireland. He hears the woman in America cry for freedom. Notwithstanding, some of our race say that the people in Ireland the Negro is a citizen in afference. The white man in turn, with insultous, hell-breathing propaganda boasts that the Negro will be annihilated and crushed out of existence if he becomes too bold and demonstrative in his agitation and organization for power and equality. It is also a part of the white man's propaganda to keep the Negro crushed in spirit, fearful of expression, and absolutely cornered. He is told that because of his inferior numbers, lack of munitions, and lack of wealth, that he cannot expect to rise to the full proportions of American citizenship. This kind of 'bunk' is propagated by spineless, trembling, "misleaders" of dark skin who preach the great benefits of eating, sleeping, and breathing, and the terrible disaster of physical dissolution, or death. This kind of propaganda is out of shape with the times and is being utterly ignored by the Newer Groups who feel no stigma of inferiority and who have been filled with a fuller, more courageous manhood, who respect reason and facts, and refute fallacies and fancies. The white mind collectively is not determined upon the color question. The line of difference is created by the cleavage between capital and labor. The destruction of the Negro would mean the destruction of wealth and capital. The entire destruction of accumulated wealth would mean the destruction of our present government. The 12,000,000 Negroes in America today occupy the most strategic and important position in the economic and industrial world. The labor of the Negro in consonance with our autocratic, capitalistic government, is indispensible. The importation of foreign labor into the cotton-fields of the South would mean the splitting of monopolistic control of the essential Amercian export. The destruction of the Negro would mean the emasculation of America's greatest source of revenue. The international relationship of the government makes us laugh at the propaganda that covers America. The Negro must realize that the cry for Liberty and Justice is the only thing that brings us respect. Let us cry and wail and agitate until we become race conscious and then our rights will be demanded. Let us have no Fear, realizing in our contentions that we are right. WEALTH OF LEADERSHIP In every province of Great America the eyes of men are constantly searching for wealth. No class of our citizens seems to be immune from this pursuit. The clergyman, the capitalist, the statesman, and the workingman are equally interested in procuring the material things that render them free from want. The desire for wealth is compatible with our present laws of social advancement. It is a natural desire, and according to our interpretation of ethical and social standards is not in itself an evil. The tendency, however, toward the centralization of wealth does produce some very unwholesome effects. Whenever such conditions obtain, we may expect the masses to suffer until some leader or 'deliverer' points the way to relieve them of the abuses of economic prosperity. Intelligent leadership has always been a necessity for the solution of the bigger problems of humanity. It was through the intelligent leadership of Bismack that the German people were welded into a powerfri nation. The worldwide respect for France is not due to the wealth in dollars that she has accumulated, but to the development of such leaders as Napoleon and Rousseau. Great Britain for centuries has excelled all nations in commerce and maritime power because of the statesmanship of men like Disraeli, Burke, and Lloyd George. If the nations of the world today have any respect for America, it is not due to her wealth, but to the leadership of Washington and Lincoln. What is true of Germany, France, Britain, and America, is true of every nation or group of people. The true wealth of every race lies in its leadership. The Negro race will become great in proportion as it produces fearless, conscientious, and intelligent leaders. It is a well known fact that we have had a dearth of leaders. Lynchings, disfranchisement, Jim-Crowism, and all other forms of discrimination would not prevail in this country today had we been blassed with true and manly leaders. In this period of readjustment there is a crying need for men who are students of human affairs, who know and keenly feel the problems with which our group is confronted, men who see the remedies and are bold enough to apply them regardless of the pressure of money or the considerations of expediency. There can be no objection to the procuring and manipulation of wealth by our group. Wealth produces leisure which in turn createts a culture media for research and intellectual development. The fact that there is greater and more eternal wealth in leadership should not be minimized. This brand of wealth is more necessary in infancy and under pressure than at any other time. To produce it and maintain it requires and should receive the support of the masses. The Negro Fourth Estate And Post-War Prosperity. (REPRINT FROM THE NEW YORK GLOBE.) (EDITOR'S NOTE—Is a new day dawning for the Negro? The "Negro Fourth Estate" thinks so and is hailing it, according to this writer, a professor in Virginia Military Institute. He presented his views in Reedy's Mirror, from which this article is reprinted. By ROBERT T. KERLIN. Activity of the colored press of the country in these troubulous times, the spirit, the boldness, and the influence if it may well excite alarm, as it has done, even "in the seats of the mighty." There are nearly 400 Negro newspapers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased, and new papers—all of the more outspoken and able type—have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this—the their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is, indeed, a sign of the times. papers in these days' formation and guidance, in the small communities, are common large cities, preferent cities—whose edit the "safety zone." In with a colored population one thousand, I found Defender, the Boston to New York Age, the Ori American (Baltimore), ton Eagle, the Richmond the Southwestern Christ (New Orleans)—the In among the ablest and spoken papers in the all these are "Melodic" the colored people of to nothing to do with any. To these papers and in quality the Negroes are news, for trustworthy gro uprisings," "Negro called by the white presiings, and for wrathful We are informed by this press that a new era has come, brought to birth by the world war; that with the new era has appeared the new Negro: a man who stands erect and looks the white man in the face; a man who asks no odds, but a square deal; a man who does not cringe or fawn; "licking the hand that smites," but demands his rights under the constitution—equal opportunities in the common affairs of life, equal conditions, equal comforts, equal recognition for character and worth—in a word, justice. The world war and the Negro's part therein are responsible for it. Not, course, for the origin of the principle of manhood in the Negro, but for its swift leaping into evidence, its sudden self-assertion in new tones. What we fought for the Negro fully appreciated. Why should he not have been able to? He was quick to apply him aim to himself—for the Negro is quick. President Wilson's notes and addresses, the treaty and the leagueovenant, had for the Negro the force of a new emancipation proclamation. The colored press claims—and rightly—great credit for itself in pushing the various war measures and promoting the drives. Papers of every kind, denominational, fraternal, secular, gave their column freely to the situation of patriotism, appeals to race pride, exhortations to "go over the top," and instruction regarding the various requirements of the government. With all this went a strong championing of our humanitarian purposes in the war—the liberation of subject minority races, the righting of old wrongs, the making democracy prevail. The Negroes' subscription to the Liberty Loans, to Red Cross Funds, and the whole list they quote as evidence of their patriotism and spirit in the country's time of need. It is a record of which they are justly proud. They make it the basis of democratic demands, quite naturally. Of the valor of their troops overseas they make the same argument. Those troops fought with endurance and heroism at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne, and mingled their blood with that of the white soldiers in the dust of France. Those troops labored in the Service of Supplies at Bordeaux and Brest without counting the hours, counting only the loss to our cause of any slacking on their part. They buried the soldier dead—the most repellent task of the war—at Belleau Wood and Romaina. This while lynchings were being reported in their papers from home. Comparison were inevitably made between Americans and Germans. It is this story that has embittered the Negro. It is this story that has given a new potency to his newspaper. There is no lack of evidence that the Negroes are going to their own THE CHICAGO WHIP for the solution of the bigger problem of leadership of Bismack that led into a powerfri nation.

Those papers, in the small communities and rural districts, are coming to them from large cities, preferably northern cities—whose editors dwell in the "safety zone." In my own town, with a colored population of less than one thousand, I found the Chicago Defender, the Boston Guardian, the New York Age, the Crisis, the Afro-American (Baltimore), the Washington Eagle, the Richmond Planet, and the Southwestern Christian Advocate (New Orleans)—the last two being among the ablest and most out-spoken papers in the country. But all these are "political." Apparently the colored people of to-day will have nothing to do with any other kind. To these papers and others of like quality the Negroes are going for the news, for trustworthy reports of "Negro uprisings," "Negro riots"—so-called by the white press—and lynchings, and for wrathful denunciations of them. The colored press is now the rival of colored pulpit influence. There are signs that it is coming into the first place. The Negro appreciates his newly discovered Fourth Estate. Shortly after the Washington riot I decided that it would be a good thing to study the Negro's reactions to that occurrence. For there were two circumstances that gave it distinction: It was in our nation's capital, in the vicinity of the White House itself; and the Negro defended himself, did so with resolution and effectiveness. Therefore, sending to all the weeklies for sample copies which were readily supplied me, I selected about seventy from the hundreds and subscribed for them. The generalizations and assertions contained in this article are based upon a careful reading and re-reading of these stacks of weeklies and some eight or ten monthly magazines Eighty-five per cent of my news papers are published south of the Mason and Dixon line. But my initial mustard seed of an idea germinated marvellously and "waxed into a great tree." Was it not worth while to discover how the colored man was thinking on all matters pertaining to racial relations. Was it not worth while to get his point of view on racial adjustment, to learn definitely his complaints against us, to hear him state his remedies for the wrongs against which he protests? The least quantum of a sense of justice dictated an affirmative answer. Hence the application of myself to the Negro's newspapers—his one and only faithful exponent. To convey an adequate impression of the tone and temper and effectiveness of the colored weekly press in these times is impossible in the com pass of an article which will not ad mit of extracts of any length. I mus therefore resort to description. How, then, can they be described? Their irony, ridicule, reproach, sarcasm and rebuke are conveyed all by the method of "sweet reasonableness"; mild comment, plain statement of fact, inverted exaggeration, sub tie indirection, side remarks, and the gentle request to "look upon this picture, now upon that."

Scores of papers in the Black Belt are masters of the art. News items such as these sprinkle the front page. There is usually a sting in the tail of the harmless-appearing little things—not deadly but disturbing. Editorials one sentence long exhibit a similar self-restraint. As long as American citizens are disfranchised, segregated, jim-crowed, lynched, brow-beaten, intimidated, held in contumely and contempt, victims of lawlessness, and mistreated generally because of their color, the riot spirit will be rampant. Houston Informer. Some one has said that our newspapers never have anything in them to make one smile. Obeys, they do—read what some of the white southerners think of a "square deal." Bid. Undoubtedly the southern papers are in general milder in tone than the northern, but not less comprehensive in their demands nor less firm in purpose. The same grievances are voiced, the same petitions and pleadings are set forth, the same rights are asserted and urged not less ogenly. The southern Negro's utterance of his protests, demands, determinations, and that weights upon his soul, suggests courage rather than boldness, and a sober sense of responsibility. The manifest restraint he imposes upon himself for the good of the cause, and for personal safety, only increases the force of his words, adding the pathos of entreaty to the cogency of argument. Notwithstanding this moderation of tone—or perhaps because of it—the southern papers get their messages delivered and make them understood. We white people must give the colored people credit for more percipiency than we are want to do. They have quite as good a faculty as we for reading between the lines, for taking the force of an innuendo, for perceiving the point of a bit of mild iron or gentle sarcasm. Vague and indirect pronouncements, perfectly harmless in appearance to us, are hand grenades to them. Editorial reticence they well understand to mean "safety first" for the editor, a longer career of usefulness. But even some of the weeklies from which I take mild cracks—papers published within the bounds of the old Confederacy—can use the artillery of the skies desired by Douglass. Some of their braver neighbors in the large cities make constant use of this heavy artillery as well as of the small arms. The Negro's ability as a speaker in pulpit and on the public rostrum has always been recognized. It is something new to find him mighty with the pen. But there are editorial writers not a few in the south who are quite a match for their white "contemporaries." They frequently find occasion to contest statements made in the white dailies, to challenge positions, to expose fallacies and inconsistencies, and to set argument against argument. In these polemics the Negro cannot be said to be found wanting. Seldom is there eloquence, seldom is there circumlocution, seldom is there writings or pedantry, but there is straightforward speech, very telling in effect. Besides, many of the papers, large and small, are strengthened by the syndicated editorials of contributing editors. A half dozen able pens, the pens of university-trained men, are employed in this work regularly. Practically all the papers also report lectures, sermons, addresses, the resolutions of conferences and congresses, and other such matter that, even when the editorials are weak and inconsequential, carry to their readers the message of the leaders. Every paper has correspondents in all of its territory and in states beyond that might be supposed to be its territory. There are also news agencies. The most important of these by far is the Associated Negro Press. Through special correspondents in every city of the country it gathers the racial news and sends this out regularly to its large membership. About seventy-five papers receive these communications directly, but all get it sooner or later. Nothing racial escapes the Argus-eyed colored press. The editorial writer, the reporter, and the poet are ably seconded by the picture-maker. A half-dozen very effective cartoonists are providing single papers or groups with the story of current events: riots, lynchings, travesties of justice, jim crowism, disfranchisement, and all the effects of racial prejudice and hate. Everybody can read a picture. Nor does the scene it conjures up fade out of the soul. This press features two or three classes of items of a racial import. Equal prominence is given on the front page and in the headlines to the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon the Negroes because of color, and to racial achievements, new activities, new business firms and enterprises. Negro benevolences, and the like. Race progress—race persecution; that is their main story. But a third species of news ranks close to these, sometimes taking precedence; news of the movements on the part of the whites toward real race adjustment on the basis of justice, news of serious efforts toward racial co-operation, news of forthright utterances in advocacy of their cause. This news they offer on their front page under conspicuous headlines. The new-born prosperity of the Negro press signifies a corresponding neglect on the part of the colored people of the white press. They will not longer trust the whites to furnish them the news, to teach them how to think. Too often have they been begged. The saying now runs—"There's a white man somewhere in the wood-pile." In the columns of the colored papers alongside of expressions of exultation in their own success run the severest arraignments of the white press for its falsification and suppression of racial news, for prejudiced comment, and for neglect of the Negro—except to report his crimes (alleged). The white papers by their false and flaring headlines and exaggerated, mainly fictitious, accounts of Negro assaults upon white women are denounced by the colored editors as responsible for practically all of the race riots of last year. The universal radicalism of the Afro-American press—using that term in the sense of demanding a fundamental change; the almost absolute unanimity of that press in its statement of grievances and demands—many voices, but only one mind; the resoluteness of tone and manifest determination never to withdraw from the battle for "equal rights"; these are the impressions that are the most outstanding with me from my much perusal of the weeklies that regularly load my study table.
