Tells of Pittsburgh Robbery Green told the police he had stolen the jewelry from two apartments in Pittsburgh last October. He said that while employed as a cook on the Pennsylvania railroad he followed a richly jewelled woman to her home and forced entrance through a window and stole the jewels. Later he entered another flat and took jewels there. "DR." JONAS ARRESTED IN NEW YORK New York City, J. 25 - Rupert J. Jonas, preacher and agitator, arrested in June as a leader of the Abyssinian outbreak and later released, yesterday was rearrested in New York at the request of the Chicago police. Jonas, whose incendiary words now are believed to have prompted the rioting, was released when he apparently cleared himself by implicating others. Recent disclosures caused police to trace Jonas to New York. 1 KILLED, 3 INJURED IN RACE BATTLE Asheville, N. C., July 26.—Reports are reaching here of a pitched battle at one of the lumber camps on Mt. Mitchell, near here, between whites and colored, in which one white man was killed, two wounded, and one colored man wounded. The outbreak is said to have occurred Saturday night, and from meager information leaking through, large numbers of participants were in the fight, and the affair took on the aspect of a pitched battle. The cause of the fight is unknown. "THE ALL THE NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY DEFENDER MAN JOINS WHIP STAFF A. N. Fields, for some time connected with The Chicago Defender staff in the capacity of Associate Editor, has now joined the happy family of the Chicago Whip. Mr. Fields is acknowledged as a journalist of national repute and his acquisition to the staff of the Chicago Whip is further evidence of the increasing endeavor of this periodical to give its readers the best service obtainable in the journalistic world. Mr. Fields will be Associate Editor and political writer, having under his direction the treatment of local and national political issues and subjects which at this time require experienced and qualified men. His experience and ability is unquestioned and carries a vision and breath of thought exceptional in the line of journalism.

Readers throughout the length and breadth of the country welcome this opportunity to read after Mr. Fields as he writes intramurmel by set policies and await his first expressions of pertinent issues. MONOGRAM A DEN OF FILTH AND VULGARITY While much attention has been paid to vice conditions on the south side, conditions that cannot be remedied until some action has been taken by the political overlords who now hold the second ward in their grasp, a Whip investigator has been paying particular attention to a sore spot which can be remedied by the public itself. This sore spot is the Monogram Theatre, at the corner of 35th and State Streets. This theatre is owned and managed by a white man named Miller, who has ignored all suggestions pointing toward better service to the patrons of the place. The Monogram, which is less than forty feet wide, is stuffy, dark, evil smelling and unsanitary. There are no windows to the place, and the ceiling is less than fifteen feet high. The electric fans used only serve to stir up the accumulated filth, and the stench of the place reaches the noses of passer-by. The vaudeville acts booked at this house are of the cheapest nature, and could not be booked elsewhere. Their vulgarity often borders on the lewd. The suggestiveness of some of the actors' lines is positively repulsive. The place is frequented for the most part by people who have recently arrived from the South, and who have not learned that better accommodations and shows can be found elsewhere. Health and Morals officers might find that many diseases, both bodily and moral, can be traced to this den of filth and vulgarity. LETTERS IN HUBBY'S POCKET EXPOSE PROMINENT WOMAN 2 SOUTHERN GOVERNORS REPLY TO N. A. A. C. P. TELEGRAMS ASYLUM GUARD KILLS BROWN FOR BUSINESS INSANE MAN LEAGUE PRESIDENT Montgomery, Mrs. and Chicago society will be astonished to learn that Mrs. Ethel Spence Newsome, of Chicago, has entered suit in the circuit court of Cook County against her former friend, Mrs. Edith Madden Brown, a city school teacher and prominent social settlement worker, residing at 6614 Langley Ave. The praecipes bled in the suit alleged that Mrs. Edith Madden Brown has alienated the affection of Dr. William Grant Newsome, the husband of the complainant, now practicing his profession, of Montgomery, located at 123 Mountains Ave. Mrs. Ethel Spence Newsome asks $10,000 as the proper recompense for the alleged alienation of her husband's affections. She is represented in the proceedings by Attorney William A. Machytrie, 532 N. St. Was Complainant's Chum Prior to a recent trip made to Montgomery, Ala., by Mrs. Newsome, it is alleged that the two women involved were inseparable friends, and the discovery of the alleged relationship was made through letters found in the pockets of Dr. Newsome, pur- 2 SOUTHERN GOVERNO C. P. TE New York City, July 20. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, today made public replies to telegrams sent to Governors Bickett of North Carolina and Hobby of Texas with reference to lynchings in those two states recently. One negro was lynched at Rosboro, N. C., on July 7, and two brothers were lynched at Paris, Texas, on July 10. The Association wired both governors asking them what steps would be taken to arrest and punish the lynchers. Governor Bickett replied that he had already offered a reward of $400 each for the arrest and conviction of the lynchers, adding that this was the limit allowed him by the state and he was horror-stirken on account of the awful crime. Governor Hobby of Texas advised that "Lamar County and Texas are amply able to take care of situation without suggestions from the outside." In commenting on the two messages, James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the Advancement Association, said: ASYLUM GUARD KILLS INSANE MAN Bridgewater, Mass., July 23.—A colored convict was shot to death and three attendants stabbed in a revolt today in the "insane" dormitory on the state prison farm here. The dead convict, Lloyd Kingdon, was killed by an attendant who he was about to stab with a butcher knife. It is believed the revolt was part of a jail delivery plot. AGO W IERE PA reported to have been written by Mrs. Smith Madden Brown. These letters are said to contain the evidence upon which the suit is based, and are alleged to tell of a social intimacy of such a nature that give to Mrs. Newsome no other alternative than the divorce court. Dr. Newsome Well Known in Chicago Dr. William Grant Newsome is well and favorably known in Chicago, which makes the tragedy of his domestic affairs more shocking to his many friends. The almost inseparable friendship between Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Newsome is another striking incident in the affair which occasions both surprise and joy. All parties concerned traumatize the highest social circles of the large cities. From the letters,交替 between Mrs. Edith Madden Brown and Dr. William Grant Newsome, the alleged intimacy is shown to have extended over a considerable period of time. From all indications the proceedings in court will be interesting and will supply ample information for social gossip. DRS REPLY TO N. A. A. LEGRAMS "The reason why Texas has had seven lynchings this year and North Carolina only one can easily be seen when the attitude of their respective governors is contrasted. In the Texas affair where two colored boys were lynched, later developments threw grave doubt as to their guilt of the crime of murdering their landlord, with which crime they had been charged. As long as recalcitrant反应aries like Hoboy of Texas are in office, lynching will continue. Some day soon America is going to realize that she must intervene in Texas as well as in Ireland. "In the North Carolina case, the white employer of Ed Roach, the Negro lynch, has given a signed statement to the press that Roach was at work at the time the criminal assault took place, for which crime Roach was killed by a mob." Governor Bickett in his statement said: "... I beg to say that I am calling upon Solicitor of the District in which the lynchings occurred to take every possible action to apprehend the guilty parties. I am also offering a reward of $400 for each party apprehended and convicted. This is the limit I am permitted to offer by the laws of this state. It is not necessary for me to say to you that I am horror stricken on account of this awful crime." Governor Degram read: "The occurrence at the citizens of our state, but Tamar County and Texas are amply able to take care of situation without suggestions from the outside." S BROWN FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE PRESIDENT Philadelphia, Pa., July 26.—Business men of this city are strongly favoring the election of E. C. Brown for president of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Brown is organizer and controlling stockholder in several banks, and owns the controlling interest in the Quality Amusement Corporation which controls the Lafayette Players. THE FEDERAL MARRIAGE CENTER SLAP IN FACE COSTS SOLDIERS WITH GUNS CHARGED WITH MURDER WHITE MAN'S LIFE ATTEND TRIAL AFTER 15 YEARS Meridian, Miss., July 23. An unsuccessful hunt by citizens and authorities half of last night and throughout today has been conducted in Meridian and surrounding country for Jesse D. Edwards, colored, who is charged with having shot and severely wounded Dr. B. L., Robinson, white, a local physician, late last night. Dr. Robinson had driven his car up to a local ice plant, and asked Edwards, an employee, who waited on customers, to bring him out a piece of ice. Edwards complied but the ice he brought was white with ammonia, and the physician told him to carry it back and bring a better piece. Edwards is alleged to have replied: "You are mighty hard to please." Dr. Robinson stepped quickly from his car and slapped Edwards, saying that he would go and select the kind of ice he wanted. He walked towards the salesroom and the colored man who had gone off a short distance opened fire. After emptying his pistol, Edwards fled and every effort to locate him had failed at a late hour tonight. But the hunt had in no way abated and it is feared that a lynching is likely should he be captured. SUES ROCKFORD ILL RESTAURANT OWNER Rockford, Ill., July 26.—Alleging she was refused service in a local ice cream parlor because of her color, Mrs. Alice Holt, wife of the pastor of the African Methodist church, has sued the proprietors for $500 damages. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR JOLIE THOUT Jack's Golden Smile Still Beams Out From Behind Prison Bars 'Lil' John Arthur Johnson, of International fame, now residing at Joliet, a guest of Uncle Sam, in the pink of condition, who claims he can whip any man in the World. SOLDIERS WITH GUNS ATTEND TRIAL Springfield, Ky., July 23.—With state militia armed with loaded army rifles patrolling the interior and exterior of the Washington County Court House and machine gun squads stationed nearby the trial of Robert Logan, colored, 18 years old, charged with the murder of Joe Colvin, 20 years old, son of E. I. Colvin, blacksmith, was entered into this afternoon. When the court reconvened at 1:30 o'clock the trial judge overruled the motion of the defense for continuance of the case and announced that he would hold a night session in an effort to expedite the trial. Logan was brought here under heavy military guard to assure his protection during his trial at a special term of the Washington Circuit Court. He had been in jail at Louisville for safekeeping since the killing last February. BLACK STAR LINER AIDS JAP BOAT New York City, July 26—According to advices received here, the S. S. Yarmouth, of the Black Star Line, will remove the cargo of the Japanese steamship Koyo Maru, stranded on the Sarina Bank, near Kingston, Jamaica. The wrecking vessel Nemesis is trying to float the Koyo Maru. It is reported that efforts are being made to transport the cargo of the Koyo Maru to the Yarmouth. EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS DENIED BOND HELD FOR TRIAL DENIED BOND HELD FOR TRIAL Johlet, Ill., July 27.—The famous "John Arthur" Johnson, after seven years' travel through several parts of Europe, has finally arrived in Illinois and is now the belated guest of Uncle Sam. Johnson, looking the pink of health, is being cared for here as the guest of the county jail. It appears that some of his arrangements went wrong with reference to the arrangement of bail and Tom Carey (white), of Chicago, failed in his efforts to get Johnson released, pending a rehearing of his case by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. While Johnson does not appear to relish his forced stay in this city, he appears, however, to be resigned to his fate and is willing to abide the action of those who are looking after his interests. Wife in Chicago Mrs. Lucille Cameron Johnson, wife of the pugilist, remained on the train, and is now said to be with the relatives of the "champ" 36th floor of the station. It is rumored that Johnson will remain in jail for at least thirty days before bail can be secured, if at all. Federal Judge Samuel Mechler, sitting in Chicago, refused to hear the application for bail and referred the attorneys to Judge George A. Carpenter, who seven years ago sentenced Johnson. Judge Carpenter who recently underwent an operation, was unable to entertain the mason, indicating that he would be probably to hear it within 30 days. This was a sad blow to the "champ's" friends and admirers, 2,000 of whom gathered at the station Sunday morning to welcome him back. Cleveland, Tenn., July 27.—A sensation was sprung here last week when James George, colored, a barber of this town, was arrested upon a charge of murder committed over 15 years ago. George, who is a respectable citizen of this town, has been plying his trade as a barber here for the last 15 years, and the accusation came as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. The accusation alleges that George was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung in Birmingham, but escaped from the death house, and has remained at large since. The man was arrested upon information given by James Cooper, white, who claims to have been a deputy sheriff at the time of the crime. The barber stoutly denies his guilt or any connection with the crime, and offers to go to Birmingham to prove his innocence. WHITE MAN LYNCHED BY SOUTHERNERC Fayetteville, W. Va., July 25.—Lynch law, which was originated by southerners, and which has been almost exclusively invoked against the colored race, rebounded against the son of a prominent white judge of this city when William Bennett, Jr., of Eayetteville, son of Judge William R. Bennett, at one time judge of the Criminal Court of Fayette County, was taken from jail by a mob of 100 here today and lynched, after having begun a life sentence for the murder of a man to which charge he had pleaded guilty in court. His wife whom he admitted killing, was the daughter of J. Alfred Taylor of Fayetteville, well known throughout the state as a writer and editor. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Henry Ford, who has amassed a great fortune out of the manufacture of a "the universal car" through the agency of his newspaper and as claimed by Jewish societies in other ways, is spreading a propaganda to show that the Jews were the moving spirits behind the Great War. This is an arrogant lie. We are admirers of the Jews because of their courage and their business intelligence. They have proven their superiority over the rest of the world in this respect. They are not the Caucasian "black sheep" as they have been depicted. They are victims of insidious, pernicious, prejudicial propaganda. The black men are in sympathy with the Jews and in the end the persecuted will stand together. Jack Johnson has filled us with reasonable curiosity. We would like to take a peep into his brain and try to discover why he was so anxious to get back to this land of lynchings and burnings, prejudice and disfranchisement. Many good boxers are of little true manhood or courage. This man has set a poor precedent. We are waiting with baited breath to see the junk that Gov. Lowden's Race Commission will turn out. We will be prophetic in predicting that it will be a bunch of meaningless statistics that will be worth as much to the race problem as the League of Nations is worth to the Bolshevicks. A lot of Secretaries, however, have worn out perfectly good cloth squirming in their capitalistic seats and drawing unearned salaries. We know that a lot of investigation has been done and by quite a few untutored prejudiced whites. What good can come out of this foolishness? Maybe the Chicago Tribune will have some more tirades to make against "black and tan" cabarets. We wonder why there is so much discrepancy in the price of soft drinks. At first blush one would think that the quality of service and the price of sugar had something to do with the price, but we find that a certain soda magnate charges ten cents in his store in the colored district and seven cents in his store in the white district for the same drink. At the same time most loop parlors are charging less than the flystained south side parlors. It appears that it is another case of profiteering of ignorant Negroes. Our friend, the enemy, is having family trouble over its vice crusade. It appears that the money went into too many pockets. We never were able to see that the real issue had been conscientiously presented. SAVINGS DEPT. OPEN SATURDAYS FROM 9 A.M. TO 8 P.M. Statement of Condition Lincoln State Bank of Chicago 3105 SO.

Small, Secretary General of the Supreme Council, A. F. & A. M., and Mrs. Ada Stillyard, Supreme Grand Court of Daughters of Sphinx, etc., in an effort to destroy the various branches and divisions of Masonry. An injunction was issued without notice by Judge George F. Barrett. Boozier had retained the law firm of Banks, Frankhauser & Colly (white). The law firm of Ellis & Westbrooks was retained by Mitchell, Small and Mrs. Stillyard to defend them. Attorneys Richard E. Westbrooks and Harris B. Gaines appeared before Judge Barrett and immediately had an order entered dissolving the injunction dissolved against Mrs. Stilleyard after compelling the said Boozier, under severe cross examination to admit that he was not a member of the Grand Court of the Daughters of Sphinx. The judge also modified the injunction as to Mitchell and Small. Attorneys Westbrooks and Gaines have the case set before Judge Rush for a complete dissolution of the injunction and from the affidavits on file it appears that Boozier is an ex- pelled Mason who has made a practice of filing suits against Mitchell since the expulsion of Boozier by the Grand Lodge of Texas. The Chicago Whip will have a full account of the final disposition of the injunction in the next issue as a special correspondent was detailed to cover the case. 700 WOMEN ATTEND CLUB CONVENTION 700 WOMEN ATTEND CLUB CONVENTION New Orleans, La., July 26.—Fifteen clubs from Louisiana, five of them from New Orleans, were represented at the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs convention, just completed at Tuskegee Institute. The state federation of negro women's clubs was organized in New Orleans in April, 1918. Blanche A. Beatty of Alexandria, chairman of the department of home economics, succeeded in arranging for a visit from the national organizer of the association to put the Louisiana body on a firmer basis. Louisiana was represented, also, in the Southeastern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, an "arm" of the national body, with Mary McLeod Bethune of Florida as president. Seven hundred delegates attended the meeting, which was the twelfth biennial convention. Practical economy and increasing respect for laboring women were urged. "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man bending down to knock on a door. WHILE passing the corner of Harrison and Clark Streets, I was halted by the shrill whistle of the traffic policeman and my eyes fell upon a bronzed and stalwart figure who was unmistakably one of our own. The dense traffic followed the directions of this alert and efficient officer of the law without question or quibble and vehicles of all kinds moved with order on this corner with more precision than at State and Jackson Blvd., where there are THRFE WHITE police traffic directors. I stood and watched and came to the conclusion that white people can be directed by colored people when colored people deliver the goods and that all the hulabaloo that is made by white people is made because they either fear the superiority of the colored people or because they want to keep to an obviously erroneous idea that IT CAN'T BE DONE. I suggest that they try it a little oltener. The police department might even try out the colored officer at Jackson and State and thereby relieve two white officers to assist in rounding up the morons and daylight loop burglar. You know the city needs more police. There are plenty of colored men, ex-soldiers, too. You get me, eh? I HAVE HEARD many comments on Jack Johnson's return to the United States. I heard a gentleman tell his wife that Jack Johnson would not be able to fight any more as he was past forty years old. The good wife put her hands on her hips gave him a scornful glance and told him that he ought not to think that way, about Jack simply because he was past forty himself. The self-opinionated "mere husband" looked off into the sky, turned away and moved off to some house duties. I left the two to their own devices while I recited a piece to myself about the "female of the species." THE DAY was warm and I strolled out to the 51st Street Beach and sat watching the waves and the new and old bathing costumes. A white man came up and sat down and his first remark was "Look at that Jew woman over there. She looks like a nigger, don't she." He had taken me for one of his own and began a tirade on Jews in general, and finally took up the negro question in particular and in its general aspects. I listened without interruption until he had paused. The pause came because a striking beauty took away his remaining breath and some of mine. When the pale-faced gentleman had recovered from his shock, I gave him another by telling him that I was a negro. He admitted then that he was a Jew himself and in order to make himself a good fellow, he thought he had better abuse both the Jew and the negro to be in right Indestructo Trunks JEWELRY-DIAMONDS WATCHES - CLOTHING At Prices Lower Than Regular Dealers Unusual Values Unprecedented Prices Palace Loan Bank 3450 South State Street Douglas 4722 THE CHICAGO WHIP with me. I proceeded to make this gentleman come through. We parted. He was wiser, I was thoughtful. THE HOUR WAS nine-thirty. There was the usual crowd at the corner of 35th and State Streets. Two plain clothes policemen were making an arrest. The idlers moved from their annual station on the curb to the box, where the officers had their man. The patrol came. The officers had to push the idlers aside to get their man into the machine. One of the colored officers then did the PROPER THING. He threw without ceremony about seven of these bystaiders and idlers into the wagon with the prisoner and re-mark, "I'll teach you to hang around while I'm doing my duty." Oh, how I thanked that officer and asked him to keep up the good work and cast my eyes in the direction of the double lines of strollers on "the curb" keeping people from entering their own offices. Oh, officer, please do it again. CITY BRIEFS George Powell, aged 16, 3303 Forest Avenue, was taken to the County Hospital, Tuesday morning, suffering from a gunshot wound, below the knee, while playing with a gun belonging to John Harris. Mrs. Hattie Ballinger, aged 19, 514 Bryant' Avenue, was severely injured by an automobile at 37th and Grand Blvd. on Wednesday morning and taken to the Provident Hospital. The car was operated by J. L. Trueblood (white). Edward Gill, aged 48, 3130 Ellis Avenue, was struck by an automobile at 35th and Indiana Avenue, sustaining a broken knee. He was removed to the County Hospital. The auto was driven by Edward Schubert (white). 1410 North Clark St. H. Hill, aged 20, 2956 Federal St. or 3312 Wabash Ave., was found at 1:45 p. m. Saturday, severely injured in front of 15 West 30th Street. At the time of the discovery, Hill was clothed in only his B. V. D.'s. He refused to tell how and by whom he was assaulted. While speeding home from one of the "black aft- tan" cabarets Monday morning, we 2 a. m., John Blazek a down-to- merchant, had the misfortune to have one of the wheels of his car leave the axle and crash through the window of the Washington Store, 3440 State St. Officer J. L. Brown, of the Third precinct, gave Blazek opportunity to explain it to the judge next morning. SHIMMY ABSENT FROM ENTERTAINERS A Whip reporter, on his Saturday night round of the cabarets, found the much advertised vice conditions conspicuous by their absence. On the dancing floor of the Entertainer's at 35th Street and Indiana Avenue, two floor walkers were on duty to prevent the "black and tan" crowd from "shimmying." He found the compensating element, however, in the advanced prices of lemonade, near beer, and other soft drinks to 35c plus war tax. DR. LONGHORN A MODEL BUSINESS MAN. A squad of investigators reconnoitering the south side to get correct first-hand information of the colorado business, casually meeting at the palatial Hotel Ponchatram at 4660 State Street. There they were greeted with the magnetic smile of Dr. Jesu, H. Longhorn, the proprietor. After a brief discussion of the kitchen and upstairs, they expressed themselves as being agreeably surprised at its fitness. Dr. Longhorn was apparently not comfortable with the treatments. He then invited the party to be seated. The jovial proprietor said in his unassuming way: "You have only seen the coimbra, not the Colorado mountains." He gave you a brief history of the disadvantages and obstacles we have had to overcome in order to make this business a possibility. Then proceeded to tell us having taken the party to Colorado we were virtual in debt and in three months' time he had by careful methods placed it upon a solid foundation. In addition to this, he said he was aging from two to three thousand dollars more per month than it has ever done in its history. Mr. Longhorn was very modest. He was at least resistant to remind the committee that he did not want to use drugs, and he used them mind he does not feel that he has done anything worthy of more than passing mention. The investigators thought to the contrary, and he used them for preparation for retirement. Dr. Longhorn was surrounded by a coterie of pretty waitresses, the investigators had to raise the standard of service and make it more difficult. They immediately claimed a big share of the compliment paid to the institution. "Doc" smiled. The committee smiled and went to the next place of business—Adv. Mrs. Sadie Freeman, age 25, 5110 La Salle St., was severely cut July 26th, at 49th and Federal St., by William Allen, 5050 S. Dearborn St. Louis McCauley, age 26, 4553 S.

Earnest Scott, age 34, 4358 Forest- ville Ave., was removed to the County Hospital July 20th, suffering from a gunshot wound inflicted by an unkno- ned man at 49th and Prairie Ave. Thomas Robinson, age 29, 3516 Grand Blvd., was struck by a truck at 43rd and St. Lawrence Ave. When examined by a physician he was found to have sustained severe injuries. William Catis, age 19, 432 E. 45th Pl., sustained a fracture of the left leg by falling from a second floor porch, a distance of 13 feet. He was removed to the County Hospital. George King, age 50 years, 4647 Indiana Ave., was severely injured through the negligence of a south bound street car conductor at 47th and Indiana Ave. J. Abernathy, age 25, 4815 State St. in a pool room fight at 4801 S. State St. with Frank Cobb, 2919 Dearborn St. was cut several times After first aid treatment he moved to the Provident Hospital. LOCAL WOMEN SUE CHILD'S RESTAURANT Two suits for $500,000 each were started in the Municipal Courts today against the management of Childs restaurant at 75 W. Monroe street by two colored women, Mabel B. Wright and Edna R. Clark. Their will sets forth that on May 5 they were refused service and food in the restaurant in question and that, although they offered to pay the regular prices, they could buy nothing. Bootleggers in the United States are now said to be getting at the rate of $2,000 per barrel for whiskey. This former necessary of life will soon be out of the reach of quite a percentage of hard-working Americans.

THE GRAND "Honolulu"—A Big Riot (By Tom Lemonier) One of the best musical shows since the old Williams & Walker days is being shown here this week. Medill Thompson, a new young comedian is the chic fun-maker and is doing much better work in this show than he did in The Man from Bam, Thompson's work has broadened out more to originality and he is a big hit with the audience. Jerry Mills, in a class by himself, does a natural tramp character and is funny. The book is chock-full of good material portraying a delicate plot, and the music is melodious and four distinct hits are taken from the score by Dave Peyton. "Daddy," a real song, sung by Berlina Blanks and a quartette of boys was the hit of the first act and called for several encores. "Dixie land" was ably put over by Louie Taylor and Chorus and "That Indian Rag" was well delivered by Homer Howard and Company. Maud Russel the leading soubrette, put over "Steppin' Some" in her own style of originality and one of the real treats was "The Honolulu Shimmie," sung by Margaret Lee and danced by the Chorus. This is a real good show, and well worth the price of admission. THE AVENUE "Fair and Warmer" is the title of piece played by the LaFavette players last week and was well acted by the entire cast. This week "Common Clay" a very strong drama will be the attraction and will be reviewed in next week's issue. THE EARL THEATRE May Kemp and her company are doing the whole show here, and it is a good one.

Corner 31st Street and Indiana Avenue Next Door to Avenue Theatre MUSIC NOTES Some musicians feel that correct memorizing is obtained by having simply a clear mental picture of the notes. Others contend that memorizing is achieved through the ear. A few others have the whole matter with the fingers and assert that if a piece is practiced enough, the fingers can be used to publicize it. I hold that a certain amount of practice is, of course, essential to proper rendition of any music, but that to rely solely on the automatic action of the fingers is most difficult. To be faithful, the fingers often seem in a state of paralysis and unless there is a true mental picture to assist them and a trained car to guide them, the fingers often fail. It is evident to the careful thinker that what I now repeat is true: that memorizing should be done with the fingers, and that the fingers can be summoned. With correct health, attive practice and a real desire to succeed, anyone who can remember anything that is worth while can learn to play or sing from memory, and who memorizes gives the greatest amount of help and enjoyment to an audience, for only when one is independent of the written notes and it passes on to its others. Some Points to Be Observed in Singing A course of vocal study is most valuable in the training of the art of voice training. It is especially valuable because it is the bottom rock, as it was of the cultivation of a good speaking voice. It is also important to learn loups and voice in addition to being educated in the broadest way by bringing into close relation the brain and heart. The vocal tone, that therefore be not the slightest rigidity of the throat nor any overtension of any of the muscles of the body. Equally important is the ability to sustain the voice and great care should be exercised to accent libretto and to maintain the tone. Three must absolutely be no loaching of the voice and great care should be exercised to accent libretto and to maintain the tone. Three must absolutely be no loaching of the voice and great care should be exercised to accent libretto and to maintain the tone.

These men are both graduates of the Chicago Schools of embalming and with their native and acquired ability are quite equal to the task of taking proper care of the public in an efficient manner. They have had several years of experience in this line of work, and make an especial effort to be honest, courteous and painstaking in all their dealings. Their prices are reasonable and theirork guaranteed to be satisfactory. A large chapel, is at the disposal of those whom they serve, free of charge. Very courteous service is rendered by a lady in attendance whose duty is to assist the patrons, when desired. The most unique feature, however, which these young men offer is a private modern equipped ambulance used only for the purpose of conveying the sick to desired destinations. This, you will note, is the only private ambulance in the city of Chicago owned by colored undertakers, and used exclusively for this purpose. In the opening of this Undertakers Parlor these young men saw the great need of this service and are the first to put such a vehicle at the disposal of the public. That they should be supported in this new endeavor goes out saying, for they are in position to take splendid care of the sick and the dead as well.

Marion, Ohio, July 22.—In his speech, accepting the Republican nomination here today, Senator Harding declared himself in favor of federal action for the elimination of lynching, and freedom of opportunity for the negro. Among other things, the Senator said: I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America. I believe the negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices of blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.

J., July 20.—Before 10,000 screening fans here tonight Harry Wills, the new colored aspirant for heavyweight championship honors, called by Jack Dempsey the most perfectly trained Negro fighter of all times, knocked out Fulton in the third round of their scheduled twelve round fight. The colored mitt star clinched the light when he handed two right upcrops in quick succession, crumpling Fulton to the mat for the count, and thereby making himself eligible to fight for championship honors. Wills entered the ring weighing 20- pounds, and Fulton entered six pounds heavier than the colored man topping the scales at 210. Up to the time that Wills got in his knockout blows, Fulton had been holding his own and the indications were all set for a keen contest. Wills took the aggressive in the first round, sending both hands to Fulton's head and body. Wills then hooked a left to the head and followed with a stiff right to Fulton's stomach. Fulton, still on the defensive, blocked a couple of rushes and then swing a high right to Wills' head just before the bell. It was Wills' round. In the second round Wills landed a hard right to the head and Fulton countered with a straight Lift to the face and a right to the body. Fulton found he was able to reach his opponent and sent his left again to the face. He then hooked Lefts and rights to Wills' body after Wills had missed a right swing for the jaw. It was Fulton's round. Wills rushed his opponent at the beginning of the third round and held right to the jaw, following with stiff right adducts to the head and body; they came to a stiff chin and Wills shot a short upper cut under the chin. When they broke away Wills landed a hard right jolt over the heart and then followed with a right swinging uppercut to the jaw, knocking Fulton on his back in the center of the ring, where he was counted out. He had to be heeded to his corner. GO OLD Teeth Extracted Absolutely Without Pain Gas Administered D HEND PETER B. Wills Rushes Plasterer 3458 SO. STATE STREET NORTHWEST CORNER UPSTAIRS Dempsey Given Ovation Jack Dempsey arrived early and was given a riotous ovation by the crowd. Accompanied by his manager, Jack Kearns, he had a rough voyage to his box and was forced to call on the state guard to clear the way. He doffed his straw hat a couple of times in recognition of the cheers. Dempsey Does Not Bar Wills When asked what he thought of Wills and whether he would erase the color line and fight the colored runner-up he replied: "My answer to the first question was that I thought Wills one of the best heavyweights in the world. I do think so. But whether he is entitled to an immediate crack at the heavy-weight crown is a question that will be left to my manager. I am willing to box him." "From the first gong until the finish (with the possible exception of the brief flash of form shown by Fulton in the second) Wills easily outclassed his man tonight. I am somewhat of an expert on little inside ring tactics and from the moment the two men met within the ropes I knew that Wills would win. He not only showed signs of being better trained than Fulton but had what I called that panther appearance. "Fry as he would, Fulton was unable to keep Wills from insighting, Wills brushed aside Fulton's famous long left. Robbed of this, Fulton was helpless. The saddest part of the thing was that Fulton knew it." STANDING OF THE TEAMS STANDING OF THE TEAMS A. Giants x 0 5 8 5 7 6 1 32 865 Det. Stars x 6 1 6 4 1 7 6 12 865 B.

Langford Stops Lewis at Memphis Memphis, Teen, July 26—Sam Langford, the great Negro boxer now working out of Chicago, put over another knockout here tonight when he stopped Pinckey Lewis in the seventh round of a scheduled eight-round battle. Langford was the better all the way and the result was never in doubt, though Pinkey gave Sam a more stubborn argument than he expected. THE DENTAL CHAIR Moved Directly Across The Street To Written on the Cuff THE WHIP of Julius Culpepper Before the game, the crowd was entertained by the Eighth Regiment and its band in honor of Col. Duncan. The boxes and wares were drapped with American flags. It was a titting tribute to a good soldier. The first three men for Joliet went out in one, two, three order. It was evident to the large mob that the Giants were not going to be defeated. It was a pitcher's battle all the way to the fifth innning, when a jass, a hit and some fast base-running scored the first run. Williams was at his best with men on bases, catching five men off the bag in the course of the game. After that, the Prisoners refused to get more than six inches away from the base. Ryan pitched a much better game than the score indicates, but poor base-running on the bases was the main difficulty to hit when hits meant runs, makes the box score look bad. When a decent club behind him he will be a hard man to beat. Just before the call, "play ball!" the Giants marched around the field under the American flag, led by the greatest baseball manager in history, Rube Foster. The crowd simply went wild. The Fosters will be on the road next week for Chicago, Chicago and the Logan Squares will attend.

THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS GIANTS SWAMP JOLIET Tom Williams Nips the Visitors' Rally in the Bud When He Traps a Whole Quartette of Runners Off Base Williams and Ryan staged an impressive pitchers' battle here last Sunday and honors were just about even as far as the hurling part of the tray went, but when our Tom threw his foxiness on the slab into the fracas he forged far enough to the force to prevent a single Prison City lad crossing the threshold of scoredom. Perhaps the largest crowd that has ever assembled to do honor to our loyal soldiers and at the same time witness an exhibition of the greatest outdoor sport on earth viewed the humiliation of the Joliet players, but the plucky battle that the down state crew waged annexed the admiration of the most biased Chicago fan and when they come again they will receive a hearty welcome. However things just wouldn't break for the visitors. Aside from runners being trapped off base, the ground rules, as a result of the large crowd, broke against them and much to the advantage of the home team. Wild throws, fumbles and muffed throws weighed heavy against the Joliet's the latter defection swaying a close decision or two to the gain of the Giants to such an extent that the league displayed glaring signs of quitters. The impires had a tough day mostly over the wrong interpretation of rules and the high tension under which players and fans were existing, but all things considered the Giants gained a clear cut victory over the prison gang. Williams let them down in one, two, three order for seven innings. Of the five hits, they were scattered over four rounds, the second yielding two blows. Ryan never allowed the Giants but one hit to an inning, and of the five which the home boys required, all came in regular order after the third—one per inning. The showing of the Joliet's entitles them to another whack at the south siders and they may get it. The score: Giants B. W.

Detroit, Mich., July 29.—Detroit Stars, with Gatewood on the mound, shut out the Alcaona club at Mack park, Sunday afternoon, 5 to 0. The state champions bunched their hits off Coveleski to win. Both teams fielded exceptionally well. Wesley and Eggleton doubled in the second innning and both scored on Riggin's triple. The latter accounted for two more runs in the sixth with a double. Gatewood struck out nine batters, while the work of Rabidean for the losers, was a feature. The Stars will meet with the strongest opposition of the year here next Sunday when the Bochrach Giants, from the east, will invade Detroit. Detroit Stars AB. H. O. A.

Old man Time has claimed another one of, if not the greatest, sprinters that ever raced on an American on European track. Joint holder of the world's record for the 100 and 220-yard dash, Drew has been a feared competitor for years. He first broke into prominence while a high school student in this city. Later at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and at the University of Southern California he attained even greater prominence in the spiked shoe world. It was while he was a student at the University of Southern California that Drew traveled the 100 yards in 9.3-5 seconds in a meet on March 28, 1914. Only once before had a runner been clocked in that time, the man being B. J. Weifers of Georges town University. A month before, on Feb. 28, he accomplished what only two other runners had, namely, a 220 in 21 1-5 seconds. But Drew has run his last race, and his name will be placed along with those of Weifers Craig and Lippincott, high in the annals of track.

Scientific Methods Lady Attendant BACCARACH GIANTS COMING The Easterners play a series of five against the local champs, so the monotony of constant winning that has been wished off upon the fans in the Windy City, as a result of the American's superiority over all comers, should undergo a change. The eastern team has an array of diamond talent which should give them a rating with the best, for no better pitchers exist than Redding, "String Beans" Williams, Treadwell and others of the staff. Lundy, the greatest short-stop who ever intercepted a batted ball, is with this team. Rojo, the great Cuban, is another one of those who glitter behind the bat, together with Marselle, the flashest third sacker in the game. The redoubtable form of the Chicago team, no doubt, will be well spent in the fierce battles at Kansas City, and if the easterners have a leg to support them when the Detroiters are off of them, then the chesty Foster crew may be due for a tumble from the lofty domicile of superiority. While the Fosterites are away, the fans will be kept on edge by an exhibition of the prowess of the Chicago Giants and the Rogers Park, the team that won two over the American Giants, that is carded for August 1st, at Schorling Park. The Cubans go to Cincinnati, Ohio, where at the National league park they tackle a big semi-pro team July 31st and August 1st, and hold over for four games at the same place with the A. B.

Sheriff Jackson has just returned from taking Gibson to the penitentiary at San Quentin. Lynching Was Feared Gibson said he had been "started on the downward path by being railroaded to a southern penitentiary." Gibson was not taken to the jail at Santa Ana, Cal, as planned, because of the feeling which existed there against him. Two of the burglaries were committed in one night in June, 1913, in Omaha, Neb., the sheriff said. Gibson was arrested after the first and escaped, although handcuffed. With the manacles on his wrists he committed the second, he said, to obtain money for having the handcuffs filed off. A. F. OF L. DISCRIMINATION MUST BE REMOVED BY ITS VICTIMS A. F. OF L. DISCRIMINATION MUST BE REMOVED BY ITS VICTIMS By John Riley, A. E. F. L. L. Organizer. The American Federation of Labor is composed of 110 or more International Unions, besides local trade Unions, and Federal Labor Unions. Of this number, the following Organizations have discriminating causes in their constitutions: The Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America. The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, International Association of Machinists, Brotherhood of Blackshmiths & Helpers, International Brotherhood of Iron Ship Builders & Helpers. These clauses will remain in evidence in their Constitutions as long as the Negro shows little enough concern about this situation to remain unorganized. There are many methods of reaching a desired point in the development of opportunities for a group of workers, but the most effective method that can be used is for the people who are affected by these particular clauses to make a serious effort to have them changed. It does not necessarily signify that the great mass of Negro workers desire to be used as tools, yet with so much capitalistic propaganda spread regarding the merits and demerits of the Labor Movement, and the status of the colored worker in the Movement, we find those who are prejudiced do not know just what they are prejudiced toward the labor movement for. Yet, it would take considerable effort on the part of anyone who would attempt to find a single colored worker in industry or anywhere else, who had not in some way been benefited by the avtivities of Organized Labor. I am quite sure that this particular condition regarding discriminative measures of affiliated organizations will be regulated somewhat on the order of supply and demand, and if this is true, the more Negroes that show a disposition to organize and affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, the more opportunities will be given them to do this. As they become more and more of a factor in the industrial world, I am sure that the Trade Unionists will appreciate the necessity of safeguarding what they have attempted to establish by way of wages and working conditions. We cannot expect that the Negro Workers' joining an organization or becoming affiliated with the American Federation of Labor will have a tendency to make the white worker like them any better, but we do know that there will be a greater opportunity for better understanding when it si understood that they are not willing to be exploited by the bosses, and are prepared to accept their share of the responsibility in helping to make conditions better for the entire working class.

The writer in his article most naturally would not do other than give credit to himself, but we will examine the records to see if he was a pioneer in this move to cause the color line to be eliminated in organizations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Yet, in doing this we will not attempt to take any credit away from him, that he is entitled to as an able exponent of the rights of the Negro, and especially those employed on railroads. The American Federation of Labor's Convention held in Detroit, Michigan December 31—Ethi 1890: (A. F. of L Proceedings → Page 31); "The American Federation of Labor looks with disfavor upon Trade Unions having provisions in their constitutions excluding from membership persons on account of race and color, and requests that they be expunged." American Federation of Labor's Convention held in Nashville, Tennessee, December 13th—21st, 1897. (Page 78, A. F. of L.'s Proceedings): "Condemn charge that unions would not admit Negroes, and declared that the American Federation of Labor reaffirms this declaration that it welcomes to its ranks all labor without regard to creed, color se race or nationality, and that it's best efforts have been, and will continued to be used to encourage the organization of those most needing its protection whether they be in the North or South, East or Wets, White or Black." These facts together with the annual reocurrence of this same contention many times having been brought up if the convention by white men who appricate the gravity of the situation where race is pitted against race, and color against color. So you can readily see that aside from having such a small number on the inside of the movement in these years, there are numbers of people of the whote race who appreciate the fact that there must be done, and who were attempting to do that something long before the Railroad Men's International Industrial and Benevolent Association was seen, heard, or even thought of. This does not signify however, that the Railroad Men's International Industrial and Benevolent Association cannot, and will not be a factor, but it would be much better for the promoters of this organization, and stand more to their credit if they would accept the means provided for their affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, instead of having their resolutions introduced by a Central Body, they could introduce their resolutions themselves. It might be possible that they fear a loss of prestige if this was done. If they were anxious to have an organization that will function properly, and felt that the policy of the American Federation of Labor in dealing with Industrial problems could be so regulated that it would offer the members of their organization the same opportunities GROW LONG AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR Use "Danderine" to promote growth and luxuriance A.

RENTS CONTINUE TO SOAR---LEADERS QUIET Since the Chicago Whip began the fight for lower rent, thousands of people who are victims of this pernicious legalized holdup game have sent in letters expressing an ardent desire to get relief. The leaders and slate makers, ignorant of the public's determination to drive the Rent Hog from the confines of the district are still silent on the question. The extent of harm that is being done to the community is evidenced by the following letters from hardworking honest citizens who have to take lodgers in order to pay rent: Editors of the Whip: I have a six room flat for which I pay $70.00 per month. My salary is $30.00 per week. I have three children and a wife to take care of. It takes nearly every penny I earn to JACK'S Clothing Store 3004 S. STATE ST.

We do not know of anything that could do more harm to the nation, to the South, to the Democratic party than would be done by the formation of an order to be known by the old name Ku Klux Klan. It would fan the flames of race feeling and revive sectionalism to a degree that would place the South in the position it was in during the years following the war between the states. The organizers may mean well but they lack judgment. The Ku Klux Klan was not understood even in the South while it existed. Those who were not connected with it supposed it was entirely lawless though to a great extent they were in sympathy with its lawlessness. It is now known that while it was lawless from a statutory standpoint it was obedient to law of its own—laws that were founded on the highest of all constitutions, the fundamental law of self preservation. When the Ku Klux Klan was organized it was necessary. There were practically no governments in the South and the so-called governments then existing were devised for the oppression of the white people of the South. Southern men were disfranchised, Southern women were in danger and the agencies of law then existing were intended to oppress rather than protect. Under the circumstances it was necessary for Southern men of courage to combine to prevent the crime that the federal government and the carpet bag governments encouraged, and they did combine and the world now knows that they combined, not to flood the country with anarchy but to prevent anarchy. They combined to save the South and they saved it. They combined against the governments then existing because there was no other way of saving the South. And yet those who are old enough to remember the days of the Ku Klux Klan know now that a great deal of violence was perpetrated for which this order was in no degree responsible. Its existence furnished, when any act of violence was perpetrated a ready object of suspicion to divert attention from the real perpetrators of the crime. A man could kill another whom he hated and turn suspicion to the Ku Klux Klan. The formation of this order would furnish the same protection to lawlessness that it would not authorize that was furnished fifty years ago. The old Ku Klux Klan was a product of the times and a necessity of the times. There is no necessity or even excuse for it now. There are no crimes that cannot be punished by law. It will be remembered that when the old Ku Klux Klan had accomplished its purpose it disbanded. It was a body under such perfect discipline that when the order came for its dissolution it immediately ceased to exist. The day on which the orders for the disbandment of the Ku Kluz Klan were sent out and implicitly obeyed there was much more reason for continued existence of the order than there is for its formation now. It is safe to say that the men who were members of it then would not go into it now or they would not have gone out of it then. No such discipline would control it now as controlled it then and yet it would furnish the same cloak for outside lawlessness now that it furnished then. Law reigns all over the South and all over the nation and does not need any assistance. Up to and including the campaign of 1880 the "bloody shirt" was the principal appeal that solidified the Republicans of the North against the South. Under the wise administration of Arthur sectionalism died but was half way resurrected by Hughes four years ago. The formation of this organization would be a challenge for the revival of sectionalism in all its bitterness and the challenge would be accepted. HERB MEDICINE For all diseases.

As matters stand th probabilities are that Cox will be the next president of the United States. If an order bearing the name Ku Klux Klan were organized the bloody shirt issue would win votes for the Republican candidate with the indications it would furnish that the South proposes to resort to lawlessness without the excuse of the old days. Not a state in the Union is now controlled by the negroes. Not a state is controlled by any turbulent element. The state governments and the federal governments are perfectly capable of protecting themselves against the lawless elements of the country. When lawlessness was fought by lawlessness in the Sixties and the early Seventies it was in defense of Southern homes and there was no other way of defending them. They are now defended by law. The fact that a number of men in states not of the South are proposing to join this organization signifies nothing. The overwhelming majority at the North would be opposed to it and would regard it as the South's needless challenge of the law. The bright prospects of electing a Democratic president would vanish and the North would once more hate the South. THE WHITE PRESS LYNCHING "USE NOT PAY Chicago Daily Journal, June 17. A few weeks ago a gathering of southern business men asked a negro leader to tell them why workers of his race were flocking northward. The negro took the platform and told how he truths with a frankness which an Anglo Saxon could surpass. He told whom he represents care nothiness for what is called social equality but much for political liberty and more for the chance to educate their children and further political freedom nor educational opportunity is within reach of millions of black men in the south. Most of all, the speaker declared the neuro wants personal safety and the protection of the law; and these through a large section of the south he does not get. Not only are black men lynched for minor offenses, but in many cases they have been lynched when not guilty of any offense, merely suspected of being guilty. No gooses were coming north for votes for schools and for safety; and if the south hoped to keep its colored work or it must provide these things The convention of southera white men gave the negro speaker a vote of thanks for his courageous thrustfulness. Confronted with the same kind of speech, what would a Duluth audience do? The crime for which three negroes gave Lynch on the Minnesota town is most distractily, and well deserves the death penalty. But what insurance is there that the penalty was inflicted on the guilty persons? Obviously, none. The mob soiled six men, hunged three and released three; and might as well have decided the fate of its victims by lot as by the mock "trinil" which it held. It is not so long ago that a Mississippi white man committed suicide because the negro whom he had helped to Lynch was proved innocent. In scores of cases, innocence of the victims is probable, though proof is lacking. Passing that point, there is an argument which ought to appeal to the dullest and most prejudiced mind. Lynching does not pay. It chiefly alleged object in assault cases is to give protection to white women. White women are incompetently safer among the black populations of Bermuda. Barber does and Jamaica, where Lynching is unknown, than in some of our states where negro suspects are sacrificed to mob fury every year. The second alleged object is to spare the victim of an assault the shame of public acknowlement. Why not spare her the shame of the assault, as the islands mentioned actually do? In the baleful light of our own race riots, Chicago has no right to point the finger of civic scorn at Duluth. But law abiding men everywhere have the right to denounce mob violence any where; and the duty to do so as well as the right. Lynching is a crime, and like all other crime, it is a blunder. It does not pay. THE LYNCHING AT DULUTH. (Chicago Tribune—June 18) The lynching at Duluth bears every mark of a disgraceful failure of constituted authority to do its duty. The lynchers pursued the bold method of riding in automobiles thru the streets of the city and appealing to passers-by to join them in their lawless enterprise. Apparently, the mob insiders were allowed to carry out their program of enlisting a hanging party without opposition. When the mob reached the police station it was met with no better resistance than a fire hose. No shots were fired; no real effort was made to defend the unhappy wretches who were in the custody of the law. Several policemen are said to have been slightly injured in a brief skirmish which ended when the mob got possession of the fire hose. A moment later it had the men whom the authorities were charged with protecting until they could be given a fair tril. A mock trial was held in the station; three of six Negroes were condemned to death, and sentence was executed on the city's streets over the protest of a Catholic priest, who alone seems to have had the courage to speak for law and order and human decency. This is a crime of a northern state as black and ugly as any that has brought the south into disreput. The Duluth authorities stand condemned in the eyes of the nation. They cannot escape condemnation by the plea that an attempt at effective resistance—an attempt involving the use of firearms—would have resulted in blood-shed. Blood should have been shed before the mob was permitted to terminate law and justice under foot, before possibly innocent men were surrendered to a summary and undiscriminating vengeance. Duluth's shame lies in the fact that it can report no fatalities among either the assaultants or the defenders of the law—only the death of men whose lives were in its keeping. An army aviator during an air race from Washington, D. C., to Central Park, L. L., wrote a lot of letters. Thus to the adage, "He who runs may read," should be added, "He who flies may write." "So today civilization totter," remarks Sir Auckland Geddes, British Ambassador to the United States. Even a spellbinder in an American Presidential campaign fearing the success of the other party could not talk more pessimistically. A process for making paper pulp from cotton fiber, it is announced, has been developed in Virginia. If this be true, the newspapers everywhere will admit that cotton is still king — and some more.

THE CHICAGO WHIP NEGRO FARMERS AND MINISTERS COOPERATE Race Leaders in Virginia and No. Carolina Meet at Hampton Institute — Dean Mann of Cornell Speaks on "Community Building" — Progress Will Come Out of Tarmoil — Needs of Negro Farmers Discussed — Ministers Eleet Officers. WM. ANTHONY AERY Hampton, July 6. — "Education and organization are the bases of progress in rural community building," declared Dr. Albert R. Mann of Ithaca, N. Y., dean of the New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University, in his address on "Co-Operative Effort in Rural Community Building," delivered recently at Hampton Institute before the joint conference of Negro farmers and ministers and the Hampton Summer School for teachers. Dean Mann said: We must think in terms of community organization, because the community now does for us so much that used to be done in the home. It is possible, I believe, to make a community what we wish it to be within, of course, certain limitations. Communities, like individuals have standards of life, determined by such elements as industry, education, religion, politics, social contacts, and recreational opportunities. We often think of making the individual fit for the community. We must remember that it is necessary to make the community fit for the individual." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said: "These are days of progress. People are more intelligent. They are more altruistic and philanthropic on the whole. They are much more interested in community welfare than they used to be. The world is moving in the right direction. In the South the signs of progress, of uplift, of right interest are unmistakable. We must not let ourselves be deluded or hindered or spoiled by these many signs of progress. As Christian men, we should never cease to be hopeful; but when our hopefulness takes upon it the aspect of self-congratulation and inertia, then it begins to do us harm. 'Progress' says the dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, at Oxford, 'is not a law of human nature, but is a task to be worked out.' We cannot comfortably settle down and trust our part of the world's work to accomplish itself. We have got to keep our hands upon it all the time." Fried With Your Present Earnings?

ANTHONY AERY Reasons for Encouragement itvv Dr. James Hardy Dillard, Charlotteville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, in his address at a joint meeting of farmers, teachers and ministers, said: "The decrease in rural population is a tremendous problem today. Whatever can be done to improve living in the country is just about the best thing that can be done for our country today. The time has been when the preacher seemed to think that he had no other job at all but that of saving a man from hell hereafter. There has been a real change. I think it has come about largely from the fact that people have begun to study more the actual words of our Lord and Master. The preacher who is not a good guide for this life is not a good guide out of this life. The country preacher seems to me to have more actual power and influence over the people than any other one man in the world. "We are in bad times. There are twenty wars going on now in the world. Conditions are upset. People are still feeling more or less nervous. I honestly think, however, — and I have read and studied history a good deal. — that out of these times in which we are living is going to come the best time that the world has ever seen. We want the time to come when there will not be any golden palaces for one man, built on the labor of others, and when there will not be any more one-room cabins for the man farthest down. In the meantime we must be patient. There are going to be better times for the people of the colored race right here in America. There are three cardinal things that we should preach — faith, charity and hope which brings courage." Farmers Face Problems. John R.

The Farmers' Conference closed with a registration of 88 members, including one special agent, 4 district agents, 22 county agents, 3 home-demonstration agents, 53 farmers, and 5 farm women. Thirty-odd farmers were sent to the conference as delegates from farmers' community clubs. Flora—I see that several cities have forbidden the showing of Geisha Goldilock's latest vamp picture.

The names must be real glory, substantial, adulterat The new day calls for the passing of "hero worshiping" and relief from the hypnotism in names. An old writer asks: "What's in a name?" Names do not speak for themselves. The glory attached to names must be real glory, substantial, unadulterated virtue. What was grand and glorious yesterday is flitting, fallacious, and disdainful today. The Negro with childlike confidence and simplicity has been enchanted by the black magic in names. He believed in the fairy tales about words and names controlling destiny, luxury, and treasury. Open sesame to Negroes has been more than the fantastic creation of the story teller's brain. He is passing from allegories, pleasing stories, and enchanting names to the cold, brazen facts of life. Names mean nothing. The magic in them has been revealed, disclosed, and credited. It took the roar of guns, world-wide war, blood-red rivers, and burning bodies to shatter his dream and to destroy his false gods. He now shall draw back the veil and view the fiction of high-sounding phrases and melodious names. Democracy! a name once magical, enchanting, and peculiarly significant to the Negro, is now Utopian, vaporizing, meaningless, bombastic, and ridiculous. Americanism! inspiring, exhilarating, and pulse-enlivening, is now ludicrous, contradictory, evanescent, and disgusting. Americanism to the Negro means drudgery, discrimination, disfranchisement and the denial of life. This does not sign uncorked by to have upon that immortal sequence been meant to him in life, love, truth, and justice. It now means treachery, autocracy, cowardice, and arrogance. "My father was a republican," is no longer the proud cry of the black American. Instead, from snarling lips and gritting teeth with bitter sarcasm and unblushing irony he says: "My father was a fool to be fooled to long." Justice! How many times have we gazed at her blindfolded, majestic, and regal. How superb was that wonderful name, pregnant with equality, peace, and tranquility. "Justice" no longer fills the Negro with exuberance. It is now a bombastic term that lawyers and politicians artfully and elibly twist upon their tongues. Truth! Profound, inviolate, and sacred. What is this truth they now cry? History is the white man's tale. Journalism is the white man's viewpoint, religion the white Christ with Jim Crow disciples. Truth to the Negro seems to be at the rainbow's end. The word "Truth," that wonderful name, describing the intangible and indestructible is to be found in the infinitudes of space in consolation with great nature. Abraham Lincoln! We have seen him rugged, stalwart, Lincoln the emancipator. Abraham Lincoln! That name sent a thrill through even the blood of every little brown boy. Now since the brown boy has studied the congressional records and read Lincoln's speeches, he finds that this common-place man has been represented, that Lincoln was for the Union, and the Negro happened to get his benediction. Oh! Lucifer, Son of the morning, how hast thou fallen. Let us assemble in silent, unpretentious array, these words that were so magical to the colored American. Let us view them in their naked, insignificant emptiness: Democracy, Republican, Justice, Truth, Abraham Lincoln. The American Negro is dealing with the facts of life. In politics and life proper words mean nothing. The guarantees of citizenship will be no longer conveyed through word channels. The specific performance of every promise will satisfy the awakened dreamer. When "Democracy" eliminates the unholiness of the South, when "Republican" means taxation with representation, equality, freedom, and the elimination of the lynch evil, when "Justice" becomes righteousness and equity in reality, when "Truth" is not a parade of lies, but is truly a record of past events, when Abraham Lincoln speaks from the spirit world against the blight of the black man, then these words will MEAN SOMETHING. They now are sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. Harding on The Race Question Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican Nominee, has at last committed himself on the Negro question without evasiveness. In his speech last week accepting the nomination Mr. Harding said among other things that he was in favor of federal intervention against lynchings and that he believed that the Negro should be given full American privileges. This is at least encouraging even though it is given in the form of a veiled promise. We commend the Senator on his broad views and trust that he will be courageous enough to fight for them if elected. Promises are empty. We want the promises performed.

Just as long as we as a people, using the antidote of tar and feathers for this who are mentally castrated and cowards, give permission to the white man to but our true desire for fullest equality remain. For the past five years we have scrutinized, with a certain amount of misgiving, the inane and insane desire of appointed and self-appointed leaders (?) of the race to supply daily white newspapers with statements and interviews on the race question and the needs and desires of the Negro. Sudden crises have given a mushroom growth to these specious notoriety-seekers with no information. Our investigation brings us to the conclusion that this desire is a mental disease typical of undeveloped mentalities. The motive that actuates these seekers of empty honors antedates the pyramids. The history of all nations reveals this class continually present, continually seeking to line their pocketbooks or receive the vain satisfaction of hollow and cheap notoriety. It is the natural desire of the feeble-minded who are unable to get prominence by meritorious effort and must resort to the chicacry of the morally warped and the ignorantly vain. We cannot predict with certainty the disastrous results which will follow if this disease is allowed to go unchecked and if allowed to run the usual course of malignant fevers. The antidote must be administered no matter how drastic. The ones who are injured and who will be affected are the logical ones to administer the antidote and wage the fight. It is admitted that the press is the creator of public sentiment and that public sentiment is the most potent force governing the acts and relations of mankind. It is imperative therefore we should be scrupulous about WHAT is given to the white press and be equally scrupulous about WHO gives the interviews. In a day and time when we as a race can least afford false representation, we find ourselves the most misrepresented people on earth. If we are to take our proper place in the affairs of the future, among people with whom we must live, it is necessary that our virtues, our vices, our ambitions, our ideals, must be properly and correctly presented by persons qualified and intelligent. Every time a Negro protects his home from invasion or some incident brings a Negro into prominence in the white press by virtue of some act, some spineless dupe immediately rushes to the white press to explain and make excuses. This omnipresent character is not prompted by an intelligent motive or desire to promote harmony, but for the single desire for the false glory of "having his name in print as a leader among the Negroes." Since the war so-called educators and political misleaders have as a class seriously been affected with "this dread disease." It has found with Satanic magic its way into the systems of the most untutored. Recently in Chicago when some fanatic burned an American flag, a porter in the office of a Chicago colored weekly, styling himself as "Acting Editor," whatever that is, was the first to give out an interview. Others, who held higher places, but who were no higher in order of intelligence followed not only with excuses but with gross, perverted and stupid criticisms of the highest types the race has produced. Just as long as we as a people abstain from administering the antidote of tar and feathers for this afflicted type of derelect who are mentally castrated and cowards as well, just so long will we give permission to the white man to burn, lynch and destroy, and our true desire for fullest equality remain unexpressed. That Wharton Lynching (From Houston Post, July 21) (Editorial Note—it is not often that a southern newspaper is right on the question of law and order, but this clipping from the Houston Post seems particularly good.) The Post has received the following communication, with reference to its comment upon the recent lynching at Wharton: Wharton, Texas, July 15—To the Editor of The Post. Some days ago we had a friend down here that was murdered by three negroes and as a result of that murder two negroes were hanged and two shot and a negro woman that was the direct cause of it all is to be tree for murder at a later date. A few days, after these two negroes were banged, you had an editorial in your paper headed "An Inexusable Lynching." This article did not take well down here, and we would all be glad to see the color of the man's skin that wrote that article and personally I will pay all of his expenses and guarantee that a hair on his head will not be hurt if he will come down here and get the true facts in this case. This I know, though, that he will not do. I have been reading The Post for 20 years or more, both by mail and carrier, but do not care for same any more and have not noticed your local representative to that effect and hand you here with a partial list of others that feel as I do. O. H. ARMSTRONG. Lynching is murder because it is the taking of human life by persons unauthorized by law to punish crimes, and it is amuracy because it is a defense of law and continued author- The Way to S Way to Stop Lync The Way to Stop Lynchings (Chicago Daily Journal, July 22) The other day a mob gathered in a little North Carolina town to lynch three negroes who were in jail, accused of attacking a white woman. But the lynching did not take place. Gov. Pickett sent a machine gun company to guard the threatened jail, with orders to shoot to kill. When the mob found that the guards meant business the lynching fervor died out, and the accused men later were taken to the penitentiary, where they can be safeguarded until trial at less expense. For this prompt and decisive action, Gov. Pickett deserves the thanks of the whole country, and particularly the thanks of his own state. He has saved that state from a lasting dis- --- --- THE CHICAGO WHIP OF TH we have scrutinized, with a certain and insane desire of appointed and the race to supply daily white newsviews on the race question and the Sudden crises have given a mush-motoriety-seekers with no information to the conclusion that this desire developed mentalities.

The Post stands squarely upon the statutes in opposing mob law. While it regrets that any of its readers should find occasion to differ with it, the Post has no apology to offer to anyone for its stand in favor of law and order, and it will continue to voice its protest against the lynching evil without fear or favor, and to insist that those guilty of participating in mob murders be brought to the bar of justice and punished as other murderers are punished. The Post is sorry that any of its readers should imagine it might be cowardly enough to recede from its unequivocal stand in favor of the observance of law by all citizens, regardless of their color or station in life, through fear of boycotts. The Post's convictions are built of sterner stuff than expediency, and for the benefit of our Wharton correspondent, and others who may be interested in knowing, it is not inappropriate to state that The Post is not susceptible to intimidation. Also it is appropriate to add that The Post is able to finance any investigation it deems necessary to make in connection with the Wharton lynching, and the kind offer of Mr. Armstrong is declined with thanks. Stop Lynchings grace and from a proceeding which would incite to further crimes of violence for years to come. If the accused men are guilty the law provides the death penalty for them, and that penalty should and doubtless will be exacted. But the mob murder of persons whose guilt is not known is a pastime which the chief executive of North Carolina does not intend to tolerate. The case, too, shows how idle are most of the pleas that this or that lynching cannot be prevented. Nineteen times out of twenty a mob is a collective coward. It will charge with of the utmost ferocity if the resistance is weak and hesitating, but, pitted against a handful of guards who will shoot to kill, a mob wilts away Hanging the Wrong Man NS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE TO GE NEGRO ART NEGRO INVENTIONS PAY COVER WIDE RANGE NEGRO INVENTIONS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE TO COVER WIDE RANGE NEGRO ART ERTY 1 RANCE COM LIBER INSURANCE CAPIT NOW STOCK IS BEING OVER 7,500 OF THE REAL SHARES WERE SOLD YOU NOW HAVE TH To invest your money INSURANCE COMPAN the North.

After the hurried formality of a mock trial, the other three were returned to their cells. Now it has been developed through investigation by a grand jury that at least one of the three who were lynched was innocent. He had taken Washington, D.C., July 20.—In the practical application of scientific principles as embodied in useful inventions, the negro has long held an important place. The publications of Henry E. Baker of the United States patent office set forth a record altogether and comparably favorable. These inventions run the whole gamut, from Banneker's clock in 1754 to Forten's invention of apparatus for managing sails, including Lewis' invention of a machine for picking oakum; Henry Blair's patents on a corn harvester; William B. Purvis' patents on electric railways, a fountain pen, magnetic car-balancing device, etc.; Dickinson's patents for playing the piano; Ferrell's patents for the improvement in valves for steam engines; Benjamin F. Jackson's inventions of different improvements in heating and lighting devices, and a controller for a trolley wheel. Charles V. Richey's inventions, including a device for registering the calls on a telephone and detecting the unauthorized use of that instrument; Granvill-Wood's inventions; the Elijah McCoy inventions; and the inventions of John Ernest Matzehger, including the first machine that performed automatically the operations involved in attaching soles to shoes. Then there are the latter-day and war-time inventions, including the war-bombs machine and air-craft gas, explosive bullets, submarines and diving suits. no part whatever in the crime, but was being held by the police as a witness. The men who killed him are responsible, of course, for a murder, having no sort of excuse to cover up its atrocious character. Passion, race hatred and the spirit of vengeance that actuate mobs in Duluth or elsewhere are ruinous substitutes for law and fact and reason. Prejudice can never take the place of justice. Lynch law is an abomination that turns civilized society back to savagery. New York City, July 24. A collection of negro sculpture was recently put on view at the Chelsea Book Club in London and became, according to Herbert Harris of the "Africa and Orient Review," "a challenge to the critical mind to define its understanding of beauty." "I take no risk in saying that the unnamed and unknown artists represented in the Chelsea collection had never heard of Schopenhauer. Never theless, we find in every one of these examples of the negro's creative power that Schopenhauer's idea has been carried to its logical consumption. It is clear that these negro artists understood, as Schopenhauer understood, the lettering of the artist's imagination which a too close imitation of form inevitably means. It is clear, also, that the starting point of each of these artists was an entirely successful liberation of the imagination from the shackles of form. "I have no hesitation in saying that there are a few pieces here of which it is no hyperhole to say that they are finer than anything that has been done in Europe, not only recently, but even in the golden age of Euronean sculpture. HOME OFFICE ZULU CHIEFS EXHIBIT ESTEEM FOR BRITISH Durban, South Africa, June 24 (Delayed).—The chief of the Zulu nation, his ring headmen and many minor chiefs recently assembled in the courthouse at Maritzburg and delivered speeches of affection and esteem for Lord Sidney Charles Buxton, retiring governor general of South Africa. There was an enthusiastic demonstration. The courthouse was packed with the courtly, dignified Zulus, some of them in trock coats and wearing medals received for bravery in the war, but others, also wearing medals won on European battle-fields, were clad only in the primitive Zulu fashion. Chief Manzolwandhli, son of Cetewayo, as a chief of the royal Zulu blood, voiced his thanks for "the beneficent British rule." Then Chief Mini smoke. He said: "The Zulus gave assistance in the great war and if assistance is needed again they are prepared to die for their king and country." The governor general thanked the Zulus for their excellent behavior during the war, and for their active assistance. As he finished speaking the "bayette" salute rang out anthem like, in a final farewell. LIBERIA PROSPERS BY AMERICAN AID New York, July 26—Liberia, the negro republic on the west coast of Africa, is rapidly becoming a prosperous and important exporting country as the result of American financial aid in road building and general development, according to Joseph L.
