$100,000 LOVE BALM IS ASKED BY WHITE EDITOR "THE CHICAGOWHIP" STILL FIVE CENTS READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY ALL THE NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE Vol. 2.—No. 34 $100 CLAIMS HOME WRECKED BY COLORED MAN Love Scandal Shocks Aristocratic Families of Bourbon South. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 18—Chickens came home to roost, and brought with them a $100,000 alienation suit as a love balm for a required affection. This has been evidenced in a suit brought by Henry W. Varner, white, a former president of the National Editorial Assn., ex-Commissioner of Labor and Printing, and now chairman of the State Prison Board. Mr. Varner charges in his suit that R Baxter McRay, colored, Grand Master of the Masonic Order of North Carolina, and said to be the wealthiest member of our race in that state, with alienating the affections of his wife. The Varners are prominent in this city, and are high up in social circles. McRay Found in Varner's Home It is alleged that during the absence of Varner in New York McRay was seen to enter the Varner residence by people who sought to trap him. It appears that there had been suspicious circumstances between Mrs. Varner and McRay, which prompted observation on the part of the neighbors. This observation developed into action and resulted in the surrounding of the house and the finding of McRay in Mrs. Varner's apartment. McRay Prominent in Social Reform McRay, who has been prominent for many years in social reform, is considered a man of great ability, and as a public speaker, has few equals in the state. He has by thrift and honest endeavor, amassed considerable fortune. Immediately upon his apprehension in the Varner-residence, he was taken in charge by Mayor Hendrick, who made his escape possible from the state. All of McRay's property has been attached by Varner to justify his suit for $100,000, which he is asking as a "balm of Gilead" for the lost love of his wife. Ruse to Get McRay's Property Ruse to Get McKay's Property It is alleged by people who live in this city that the releasing of McRay with instructions to flee the state was merely another piece of southern treachy to rob of valuable property right now in his possession. Others are saying that it is a case of retribution, alleging that the white men of the South have never properly regarded the morality of the married life of the colored race, and that in return they have taught other races to disregard theirs. Mrs. Varner has returned to her home in Kentucky, and ignored the action of her husband. COLORED MAN CANDIDATE FOR SENATE Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 18—J. H. Blount, a prominent educator of Helena, in his zeal to redeem his state from the clutches of sinister influences, has announced himself a candidate for United Stafes Senate on the Republican ticket. He is supported by all the colored citizens of Arkansas, and if given a fair count, will be elected, it is claimed. PRODUCES SEASON'S FIRST COTTON Natehitches, La., Aug. 18—Thomas Guy, colored, brought the first bale of cotton of the season to this city last week. Guy is a prosperous farmer living a few miles from town. He intends investing the returns from this year's cotton crop in Chicago real estate.

MOVE TO CUT SOUTH'S REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS New York City, Aug. 18.—According to Congressman Isaac Siegel, Chairman of the House Committee on Reapportionment of Representation, the oft-mooted question of reducing Southern representation in Congress in the proportion in which the colored vote is excluded from the polls will be the most important subject before the committee at the next session of Congress. Congressman Siegel said that the present agitation to cut the South's representation has grown greatly in recent months. Congressman Barbour, of California, is one of the most active figures in the agitation for justice to the negro voter and a member of the reapportionment committee. It is said that there are many Northern Democrats who are also in favor of the change. JINX FOLLOWS BOY SWIMMERS Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 18—George Williams, age 14, and Willie Williams, age 13, defied Friday the 13th, and went swimming in the Mississippi River. They both took cramps while in bathing, and drowned before aid could be rendered. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 21st, 1920 PAY NO MORE! New York City, Aug. 18. After a day's outing up the Hudson on the Black Star Liner "Sunnyside," the delegates to the thirty-day convention of negroes, held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, settled down to what Marcus Garvey called the most important work of the convention, the drafting of a "bill of rights," that will be the Magna Charta which negroes all over the world shall dedemand as their just lot. WOMAN GETS 4 YEARS FOR MURDER Meridian, Miss., Aug. 18—The case of Mrs. Fannie Walker, finally terminated in the circuit court and resulted in a four year sentence for the murder of her husband. The case was attracting considerable attention from the manner in which Mrs. Walker testified at the preliminary hearing. She claimed that her husband called her into his room telling her to get down on her knees and "make her peace with God," at the same time leveling a shotgun at her head. While down on her knees she testified that she saw a pistol on a chair near her, which she seized and fired before her husband had a chance to shoot her. He died instantly. WELL KNOWN DENTIST MUST PAY ALIMONY Is Claimed to Have Deserted Wife and Obtained Secret Divorce. It was back in 1916 when Miss Mamie Louise Thompson of Nashville, Tenn., met William F. Richie, a struggling young student at Meharry College. There was nothing unusual in their meeting for it had been the privilege of Miss Thompson to meet nearly all of the young men of note who attended Meharry Medical College. The very fact that she came of a very distinguished family made it a natural sequence that she would be sought after by those who desired the best social atmosphere while attending college. Richie Constant Visitor It became evident soon after their meeting that Mr. Richie was some what attracted by her remarkable personality and sought by courteous attention to gain her favor, which he succeeded in doing. It is alleged that during his struggle to complete his medical education, he found the friendly exchequer of this young lady a wonderful aid to his success. He finally completed his course graduating with honor, and wended his way to Chicago, where he established his office at 3902 South State associating himself with Dr. Midian O. Bousfield. Asks Her Hand in Marriage True to the chivalry of a Southern gentleman, the then doctor urged his benefactress to accept his hand in Gulfport, Miss., Aug. 18—At the conference of County Superintendents of Education, Alfred Taylor, white, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives of Mississippi, in a forward-looking speech stressed the necessity of educating and making property owners of our people in this state. Mr. Taylor said among other things that it was time for the South to forsake its brutal measures and policies in dealing with our group and to prove to the world that as high a type of civilization may be found in the South as in other parts of the world. He urges the whites of the South to cease robbing the negro and to give him a man's chance in the political and economic life of the South. STEALS TO FEED ELEVEN: PARDONED Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 18.—Because he sent a plea for pardon with the pictures of his eleven children to Governor Morrow, Zach Monday, colored, convicted in Madison County for stealing two chickens, was today pardoned after serving six months of his seven years' sentence. Monday prayed the governor that he be freed because he had stolen the chickens to save his children from starvation. A glance at the picture convinced His Excellency that two chickens would hardly make gravey for the flock of eleven hungry mouths. Washerwoman Turns Blackmailer At the instance of Sam Nutcha, an Italian, Mrs. Ellen Wesley, 1800 Federal St., sent four letters to Mrs. Mary Coleman, white, attempting to extort from her $2,000 through black-mail. The scheme was apprehended by Sergt. Phillip Sloier, McDonough and Goldstein. They arrested Nutcha as he was removing the alleged $2,000 from a city refuse box at 18th St. and Wentworth Ave. Nutcha in his confession attempted to place the blame upon the woman. She also claimed that the responsibility belonged to Nutcha, contending that he forced her to write the letters. The natural inference is that both are guilty. Nutcha was the aggressor, say the police, according to the character of the crime. The threats in the letters included murder and the bombing of Mrs. Coleman's home. marriage. Being unable to withstand the shaft of cupid, she acquiesced in his desire. Chicago then became her home. Success came to the doctor's efforts and all went well until 1918. Patriotism Fired His Breast It will be recalled that in 1918, the World's Conflict, seemingly involving all civilization, challenged the patriotism of every man. It apparently met a responsive chord in the patriotic soul of the gallant young doctor for he arranged his affairs, bidding his wife goodby, ostensibly to visit his parents in Texas, from which place he was to embark, his point of objective being Flanders Field in France, there to answer his country's call. Ouietly Returns to Chicago In August, 1919, the Doctor is alleged to have quickly returned to Chicago, resuming his service of dentistry at 4301 State Street. His wife, however, being of a patriotic turn of mind, had scanned the daily papers and war reports expecting to see her soldier husband cited for bravery and distinguished service on some of the fields of battle, but no such reports were found.

Wilson was serving a sentence of seven years for a series of holdups and had three weeks ago made an unsuccessful attempt to escape by making a key from a spoon and unlocking his cell door with it. He was then resentenced for twenty-eight years in solitary confinement, and as a result began his hunger strike which resulted in his death. It is said that no effort was made to compel the prisoner to eat, nor was he placed in a hospital after his condition had become serious. POLICEMAN HURT REPELLING MOB Hoboken, N. J., Aug. 18.—Heads were broken freely by cops' night-sticks and Director of Public Safety, B. McFeely was painfully injured when a mob of more than 2,000 men and women attempted to lynch a colored man here last Wednesday. James Sergeant, the colored man was beaten into insensibility before he was rescued. Sergeant was attacked because the wife of a longshoreman, John Peterson, had shown a preference for him. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR EIGHT PAGES ASKING WHITE E Runs OPEN WAR ON GAMBLING AND VICE OPEN WAR ON GAMBLING AND VICE Many Clubs and Buffet Flats Raided in General Cleanup. According to the advance information published in the WHIP of last week, the Committee of Fifteen opened war on gambling and vice in residential districts when several "buffet flats" and gambling houses were raided late last week. Raids on Grand Blvd. The opening guns were fired Friday night when two "buffer flats" on Grand Blvd, and ones on 2 Grand Ave., were raided. A flat operated by Mame Riley at 3524 Grand Blvd, was raided and two policemen placed on guard there. The flat of Claudia Woods, 3727 Grand Blvd, was also raided and policemen placed there. It is said that Judge John K. Prinderville of the Municipal Court, resides in the same building where Claudia Woods' flat is located. Violet Phipps' flat at 3423 Michigan Ave. was the scene of the next raid. No one was found there, but policemen were placed on guard notwithstanding. Raid Gambling Houses The resorts raided in quest of gambling were those of Lovey Joe, 3010 State, the Saratoga Club, 3445 State, Leslie Anderson's, 3405 State; the Pioneer, 3512 State; and Sam Williamson's, 215 E. 35th. Underground Influences Work It is claimed by those interested, that although the police of the 26th St. station apparently co-operated with the vice cruders yet, through some underground channel, these raids were tipped off in advance. A WHIP representative counted forty-two men walk out of the Pioneer Club ten minutes before it was raided. $3,000.00 is said to have changed hands during the two hours preceding the raid but the place was empty when the officers arrived.

RECKLESS DRIVER KILLS MAN New Orleans, La, Aug. 18—Joseph Turner, age 23, 2220 3rd St. was fatally injured Sunday night, sustaining a fracture of the base of the skull, and died in the ambulance en route to the charity hospital. The accident occurred as Turner was crossing the street at the intersection of Louisiana Ave. and Franklin St. He was struck by an auto driven by William Young, and knocked thirty feet in the air. The driver continued his course without investigating the damage to his victim. In the car at the time was also William Ishen, 2519 Louisiana Ave. He returned to the scene of the accident and attempted to aid the victim. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 18.—William Morrison, a miner em. joyed at Colterville, Ill., was forced to leave town and his home was burned by a mob Monday afternoon. The city officials, including the mayor and town marshal, pretended to know nothing of the cause which led to the trouble, nor to have any information as to the identity of those involved. FIVE C BE PRICE FIVE CENTS KED BY EDITOR Amuck HOME BREW IS CAUSE OF NEAR RIOT Prompt Action of Colored Policeman Averts Trouble Friday afternoon at 6:15 p. m., a drunken policeman came near causing a riot at 35th St. and Wabash Ave. Had it not been for the timely arrival of Police Officer Heiser, all might not have been well with the whiskey-head cop. From information set it. whose name is claimed it be Bennesy (white). was driving east in a police fliver with St. At Wabash Ave. he failed to slow down and in the zig-zag way in which he was operating the car, forced another car coming west to kill its motor endeavoring to get out of the way. This seemed to rile the sergeant, who finally stopped his car and came back and took two shots at the man who was trying to crank his car. Both shots failed to take effect and the driver of the other car properly disarmed the drunken cop and hurled his pistol over the fence. It was later picked up by some one who needed a gun. Officer Heiser called the wagon and sent his drunken comrade to the cooler. The police blotter, however, shows no record of any such arrest. The disgraced minion of the law, when placed in a patrol wagon used extremely vile language with reference to the colored witnesses and participants to the affair. A report of the affair has been made to the Chief of Police by the WHIP and drastic action is expected to be forthcoming. GOES TO DEATH ASSERTING INNOCENCE New Orleans, La., Aug. 18—Frank Bailey went to his death Friday afternoon for the alleged murder of Detective Theodore Obitz. As he walked to the gallows there was neither expression or indication of fear in his soul, or the dread of death. He was visited in his cell by Rev. E. Wittenberg, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, accompanied by Rev. Capt. N. McNeil, of the colored volunteers of America. After the services Bailey made a statement in which he said that he was innocent of the crime charged, and was paying the penalty for another man. HOLD WHITE MAN AND COLORED WOMAN ON MANN ACT Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 18—N. L. Starling, white, and Mrs. Annie Rodwell, colored, are detained in jail in this city fighting extradition, instituted by the State of Georgia, their former home. The strange story told of how white men of the south separate colored men from their wives was set up in the bill of particulars. Mrs. Rodwell formerly lived at Valdosta, Ga., and was separated from her husband by Starling, said to be the son of a wealthy farmer.

Standing in front of the building for a few minutes Nosey counted five cars, all laden with white men, draw up to the curb, view the blue coats and order their drivers to drive on. Nosey smiled and walked on past the homes of many colored respect- able citizens of note in the same block and agreed that it was a good idea to use some of the police in this manner. N entering one of our “best” bar- O ber shops, J noticed that there was more than the usual lively discus: sion going on and that one gentleman had the center of the floor-and the best ‘of the argument. He was telling about a colored man that had robbed a safe, gotten $10,000 and did not use any ex plosives. His audience was spellbound and the silence was broken by an old gentleman who said ont loud, “Lord, that guy sure must a been raised by white folks to do dat.” OME people seem to think that they can do almost any thing and get away with it and no one will be the wiser. That prominent doctor that Nosey saw hurrying around the cor- ner of Calumet Avenue and 43rd Street on last Tuesday night seems to have found out differently. He left his car around the corner, instead of in front of the house and that is the only reason that the three gentlemen(?) who put him out of the flat with a bleeding nose did not wreck his car. The good doc- tor said he had been. robbed, but the bouncers in the flat said that he had done different, whatever that was. 1 did not go in the flat and I know the doctor won't go back in a hurry.

Nosey told the last group how to occupy their time to a better advantage and passed on, ES, some of these days that little girl who lives on Grand Boule- vard will find herself in the arms of the law instead of in the arms of that hungry young lawyer.

The society has had a marvelous growth, giving to the people more than forty stores in operation in one year and a program on foot to put up a new store every day provided suitable locations can be found. This surpasses in growth and achievements any organization ever started before in Chicago. New members are joining daily and many who were at the celebration as visitors decided to join the great movement and take out memberships at once. The principal speakers were Mr. F, K. Zins, general superintendent of the South Side Division, who spoke of the aims and growth of the organization and the great chance for our race in such a society, and Mr. Bischoff, director of the salesmen, spoke of the strike the society was making at the high cost of living. Other speakers were Mr. C, D. Dickerson and Supt. A, R. Johnson. All who were present went away happy in the thought that this movement had found a way to battle against the profiteers and to bring all races together in a great nation wide movement of co-operation, was to share the profit of toil with the laboring man and keep down race strife and build the world into a great brotherhood. Mr. W, W. Lucas was master of ceremonies. HEALTH HINTS. By Dr. Wm. A. Foulks Aside from accident no one should die except from old age. Death, like birth, is a natural process and is supposedly painless. But the dissolution brought about by diseased conditions is concomitant with more or less pain and suffering. No normal individual courts pain and suffering (I say normal, beating in mind that some monomaniacs—religious known as ascetics who believe in an unduly rigorous and austere piousness to fit them for the other world, mortify themselves sometimes to destruction with the hope that the greater the suffering here the greater will be their reward in the other world). In fact, flesh and blood recoil from pain and demand relief either in drug or death. Hence the demand for doctors, who are supposed to prolong life in a diseased condition minus the suffering and pain. This procedure, obviously being so unnatural, calls for so much that the ordinary individual in the ordinary walks of life has no time to devote to the study of thus cheating nature out of her first demand. The duties of a physician are therefore. First, to relieve pain and second, to prolong the life and preserve the health. The first is an exclusive study. The second should be general with the aid of all humane activities to subserve the end which should be the object of every individual. The laws of life and health are very clear and well defined and the breach of any of the laws will sooner or later produce disease with its associated discomforts and suffering. All diseases are therefore brought about by the disobedience to the laws of nature, whether the disobidence be done knowingly or unknowingly or whether by omission or commission or by heredity or environments. The philosophy of disease and medicine calls for very deep and extensive study and should be approached with all earnestness and open mindedness, and the proportion of this philosophy should have not only the depth of wisdom that the subject demands, but a certain degree of experience to be a criterion. It has been charged by other philosophers and sages for centuries past that physicians have entirely deserted the path indicated by nature for the rehabilitating of the sick to health and have built up an artificial system simply for the sake of mystifying the ignorant and at the same time to selfishly profit withall. Whether these accusations are true or false it is not my place to discuss. It is sufficient to say at this juncture that the physician who practices his art wholly for the sake of aggrandizement or glory has fallen short of his real calling. Remuneration should be, and is to the conscientious practeer, of only "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!

MONARCHS ARE CUBANS NIP RUBE'S DAYTON MARCOS WIN CIANTS DOWN CU- JOHNSON BLANKS NOW WITH US WINNING STREAK 3rd FROM K. C'S. BANS MONDAY ST. LOUIS The baseball fans of the Windy City are right on edge for the coming battles that will be staged Saturday and Sunday at Schorling Park with the K. C. Monarchs and American Giants as the battlers. The K. C.'s come with vengeance and confidence written all over their grimaged features, so the two days go between these two monsters of the diamond promises to be the feature affair of the whole baseball season. Never in the history of the national sport have two race teams locked horns with such a small amount of space separating them in the way of advantage as to the class of goods packed by each. True, the Foster crowd has hooked a heavier load of games on the right side of the ledger, but their ability to tote such an advantage, and at the same time hold aloft from the company of their compatriots, has undergone a severe test here of late, and the outcome of the recent awakening has fastened—a hold upon the ears of the fan public welding an effect which has piquety per cent of the admirers of the local scrappers astride the topmost rail of the fence. There is no way out, it must be acknowledged, the Monarchs are formidable, they are natural fighters, and they battle foreign soil with about the same ferocious demeanor that they assume up the home sod. As to just what the westerners can and will do to the perless dark hopes of south State Street is a matter of conjecture, for with their stonewall defense and their proven ability to carry damaging fighting to all comers, the Foster crew must be reckoned with; so, unless the signs fail us, the thousands according to advance seat sales, who will be out with their rooting lungs, will have something to yelp over; the leadership of the new circuit being at stake. Saturday, as well as Sunday, will undoubtedly go down in history as days on which the most stubborn battles ever fought in any baseball league were staged.

OLD Teeth Extracted Absolutely Without Pain Gas Administered Convenient Payment Convenient Payments By DAVE WYATT A. B. After winning 3-0 at Gary, Ind Saturday, the American Giants looked good enough for another long string of conquests; but to the great disappointment of many of the Giants admirers the Cubans found themselves last Sunday flashing that class of pastimating that, in the past, has caused them to be the most talked of, the most admired, and the most looked to team for real battling, of all tribes that hit these parts. Hernandez, the pitcher who has wins to his credit over all circuit teams, held the local Differs well in leash when holding was necessary, while his Cuban mates especially Rios Herrera and Jiminez backed up his pitching in a manner to satisfy and delight. The Cubans are traveling constantly, and being away from home since early in April with no comfortable surroundings for a rest of their tired and aching souls, it must be admitted, the Islanders are putting up a grade of playing that is but little short of marvelous. We doubt if any other team in the country could stand up under the same gait and then have a leg to stand on, for it has been clearly demonstrated that but few of our teams can go the ten day road period without having the line-ups all shot to smithers from sickness and injury. Lefty Brown heaved a fairly good game from a standpoint of distribution of base knocks, the Cubans being able to glean but one blow per innning scattered over four rounds. Before Brown's super was warmed up to the surroundings the Cubans nicked him for three bings and a like number of markers. Jiminez was socked upon different parts of his anatomy three times and he scores three runs.

SOL BUTLER HURT IN OLYMPICS Sol Butler, the crack broad jumper of Dabuque College, one of the five colored men who qualified to participate in the Olympic Games, representing America, strained a tendon while in the trials for the broad jump in Antwerp. This accident prevented him from qualifying for his event much to the regret of all of the American team as he was counted on to lead in points in this event. It is reported that he will be able to participate in the rest of the events, and thus redeem his chances for gaining points for the American team. THOSE TWO "SAMS" The two ancient Sams with ancient fighting proclivities went all the way in a ten-round bout at the close of which the general opinion was that they had at least been fair to each other. It was said by the old saws a light on the square, but the two old boys were a bit too fat and in fact are alleged to have seen their best days. From the very start, Langford showed a disposition to mix it, but McVey early in the game seemed to have formed an affinity for Langford and sought to hug him at every opportunity. The crowd was all there, ever so fierer, seen in that account the country, but many of them began to leave in the eighth round for fear that they would laugh themselves to death at the "Two Sams." THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS N CIANTS DOWN CU- BANS MONDAY The American Giants won the third game of the series from the Cuban Stars, the inability of the Islanders to connect with Tom Johnson's offering with any noticeable effect and the heavy walloping of Center Fielder Torrentti against his countrymen drew a win along easy lines for the Foster team. Torrentti put the game on ice in the fifth round, coming up with the hassocks crowded, the great battwielder stalled for a time, then suddenly he took hold of one of Pitcher Valdez's fast ones and the spira soared over the right field wall.

Taylor's out, Powell's single and Day's single, all coming in the first inning of today's game, netted four runs, more than enough to win the last game of the series here for the A, B, C's against the St. Louis Giants. After this fusilade of hits Finner settled down and he and Diata Johnson staged a pitching duel. Johnson had the better of the argument. He never allowed a runner to get past second base. Besides Charleston's home run, other features of the game were the fielding of B, Taylor at first, Clark at short and Washington in left field, for the Hoosiers, and Blackwell in center and Dudley in left for the locals.

The locals tied the score in the fifth when Harper walked and scored on Riggins's single after advancing on an out.

Madden Delivered the Following Speech in the House of Representatives in Opposition to an Amendment Segregating School Children in the District of Columbia. The Amendment was Offered by Representative Clark, of Florida. Chicago, Aug. ...A Democratic promise, especially when made to the colored race, has ceased to be even a defusion and a snare. Since Woodrow Wilson's promise, made to Bishop Walters and twenty-five other distinguished colored citizens in 1912, was allowed to subside into the realms of ordinary demagoguery, the promises of a Democratic candidate, has grown so completely into contempt that they cease to be made. Many thoughtful people are wondering why Governor Cox could not find a word of encouragement to say to the twelve millions Negroes, who form one-tenth of the entire population of the country, who loaned one-fifth of all they possess to the Government in time of stress; among whom there was not a single "conscious objector" to the draft; who never furnished a single case for investigation in the espionage activities If Governor Cox felt a disposition to say such a word he knew that it would be out of tune with the harmony of the Democratic party. Further than that he knew that if he said it nobody would believe it. The Democratic party is founded primarily upon the conclusion that the black man has no rights that the Democratic party is bound to respect. This has been so clearly established that it has taken its place as the keystone of its foundation. Profronting by Woodrow Wilson's discomfiture, after being imprisoned for colored people in 1912, Governor Cox has probably pursued the line of least resistance by not making any promises to them at all. Mr. Chairman, if this amendment is adopted, the Congress of the United States will be taking a backward step, and I believe that the American people are not ready for that sort of action. The enactment of the amendment of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Clark), if it could be enforced at all, would require a probation officer for an Irishman, another for an Englishman, another for a Jew, another one for a German, another for a Swede, another for a Yankee, and then would come the question of how you would classify a Yankee, whether he would be classed as black and white or as black or white, for I apprehend that these men who live in the South are Yankees, if anyone can be so classed. They have been there long enough to be called Americans, and if anybody in America can be called Americans these men certainly can be. It is a humiliating spectacle to witness the Congress of the United States seeking to enact a law to pre- upon a child in the District of Columbia, and in that law at the same time attempting to segregate the races, and saying on the face of the law that no man can be appointed a probation officer except he be of the race with which he is called on to deal. I have always believed that we were Americans acting in the Congress of America for America and Americans, but it does not look like it. It would seem, according to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Clark) that we are divided according to races, and the division is sought to be made by those who claim to be Americans speaking for America. Oh, it is a humiliating spectacle to witness the American age upon the sentiments of the American people to have such an amendment proposed, to say nothing of its being adopted. If we were dealing with the question of what was to be done with the people of Florida, that might be one thing, for they have views that they may have a right to express, perhaps, within the borders of their own State, but I presume to say that we are speaking for all the States of the Union, and not for Florida, and not for the States south of the Mason and Dixon line, any more than for those north of the Mason and Dixon line. When we seek, on the floor of this House, to restrict the rights of Americans we go beyond our constitutional privileges. I thought the war of 1861 to 1865 settled the question of what American rights were, but it seems not, for the spirit of secession seems "The Limb You're Standing On" Bert Williams, accredited by the largest majority as being "the funniest man in the world," wrote and used to sing a song, the burden of which was the discomfiture of one Sam Johnson, who was out one night in quest of the gay and festive 'possum. The illusive animal had scaled a tree and tried to conceal itself in the branches. Samuel followed his quarry, but found that the object of his desires had gotten so far out on the limb that closer contact would bring about a precipitation in which Samuel himself would participate. Consequently he sent a small boy for a saw, and when he returned, proceeded to cut, a limb upon which the very head had sought aslum. It was a dark night and Sam did not know that he was sawing loose not only the 'possum's refuge, but the very limb he himself was standing on. He finally dropped, however, and then the denouement. Bert Williams applies this to the Socialistic propaganda now being held out to the colored people of the country. While reaching out for the vagaries that the Socialists at the behest of the Democrats are promising to the Negro, those of the race who attempt to saw themselves into realization, are really sawing the "limb they are standing on," the principles of Republicanism. Advertise In The Whip, And It Will Pay. GEORGE O. JONES of 1904 W. Lake St. for the regular Republican nomination for the General Assembly in the 21st Senatorial District is Endorsed by the Business and Professional Men--- Also Churches, Lodges and all Social and Political Clubs of the West Side are working earnestly for his behalf. Mr. Jones wide acquaintance and business relations with the Colored People of the West Side puts him in close touch with all the people. He knows that his party will go to the electoral college with the votes of the solid south carefully packed and ready for delivery. He knows that about half of the constitutional citizens of that section have been denied the right of franchise. He knows that without this solid south, where political reasoning is so dormant that there is but one side to the question, there would be no Democratic party. He knows that when his party is in power that this section and the sentiment that pervades it will govern the actions of the executive. Bishop Walters and a party of representative colored men called upon Woodrow Wilson in 1912 he gave them the assurance, unequivocal and definite, that no discrimination by the national Government would be made against any man on account of his race. If Woodrow Wilson had been a Republican he could have kept his promise. As a Democrat, he could not; and Mr. Cox knows that as a Democrat he cannot. Wilson practiced segregation in executive departments; discharged employees in prominent positions, and practiced discrimination such as no one ever dreamed could be brought about against any class of citizens. He submitted himself, bag and baggage, to the enemies of the colored race and ran true to Democratic form. Governor Cox would do likewise. If he is elected, the Democratic South will be the biggest factor in the result, and the Democratic South will have the largest influence in his control. to be just as strong here today as it was before the war. They talk about the feeling of amity existing between the people of the States, but every time a question comes before the House, where a question of race can be raised, it is raised on the Democ- ratic side of the House by some member occupying a place on the floor from the Southern States, where more than half the citizens living in that State are not allowed to exercise their constitutional privileges. The negroes are good enough to count as part of the population which gives you men from the South representation here, but they have no right to speak or vote, and no one here to speak for them—— * * * * * * * * * I hope, however, the time will soon come when people of America will rise in their might and protest vigor- ously against any such attitude on your part. (Applause.) Geo.1 B. Holmes Endyrsed by Cook County Bar Ass'n Hon. George B. Holmes, Judge of the Municipal Court, has announced his candidacy for re-election on the Republican ticket in the September primaries. Judge Holmes has served two years on the Municipal Court bench and by reason of the impartial conduct of his office has endeared himself to thousands of members of our race. His attitude on public questions affecting our interests has on numerous occasions so exemplified itself as to give satisfaction and comfort in his announcement. He presents himself to the voters of Cook County as a Republican who believes in Republican principles and Republican ideals and one whose Americanism cannot be questioned. He served in the Spanish-American War in Cuba and is well acquainted with many of the officers of the old Eighth Regiment who fought at Santiago. He has submitted his candidacy to all the voters of the Republican party, asking them to keenly observe his record and to assert their privilege in the exercise of their suffrage as untrammeled American citizens in the coming primaries. His attitude on the bench vindicates his right to our support. He has stood for a square deal for every man regardless of race, creed or color. His disposition to deal fairly with us very strikingly and pronouncedly manifested itself during the unfortunate events of August a year ago, the abatement of which challenged the best judgment and soberest thought of both races. His attitude towards us has stood the test in every critical period in which our racial ifferents were at stake. As a race, especially in view of the fact that men who stand for fair play and justice as it affects us are so few, it was hard to guard to political factions that those who jeopardize themselves to the extent of seeing that we get a fair and impartial trial in the courts of justice, should not go unrewarded when an opportunity presents itself for us to acquit the debt by our vote. He has been endorsed by the colored Cook County Bar Association. Grocer Up Against It "I have been up against it for past 3 years suffering from pain in my stomach and side until I was considering giving up my grocery business. Doctors and medicine did not help me. I heard of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy through a friend in Buffalo. The first dose gave me more benefit than all the medicine I had taken before and am now feeling as well as ever in my life." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Reno Overseas Spor Representative Adelbert Roberts Ednorsed for Renomination. M. B. Hon. Adeibert Roberts of the Third Legislative District has been endorsed by the Regular Republican organization for renomination and election to the Illinois Legislature. For fifteen years, Mr. Roberts has been a clerk in the Municipal Court and is recognized by the officers of the court as being one of the most proficient attachés of that department. Two years ago he was nominated and elected to the lower house of Springfield. He received the highest vote of any one in his district, and justified the confidence reposed in him by his services in the legislature. No member of that body in so short a period gained such unique distinction as he His efficiency mark in the general assembly is evidenced by his response to every call, and on public questions having fundamental bearing upon the interests of our people, me the high commendation of all civic bodies. Voted Right on Dry Question When the question arrose as to what Illinois' position should be on the question of wet and dry, our representative rote sublimely to the occasion and evidenced by his vote that all of us did not think alike on questions affecting the morality of the race. Not only did he vote against the liquor question but delivered speech in opposition to it, which attracted national attention and stamped himself as a positive force operating in the right direction; and on great and important questions could be relied upon to choose the better part. If he high done nothing else during his first term but recorded the sentiments of the law-abiding citizens' of the district as being opposed to the continual debauchery of their race, he would have succeeded in handing down to posterity a record unimpaired by indifference at a crucial moment, to the future of those who see him to represent them. Man of Exceptional Ability nose who know him best cognize in him a strong personali the embodiment of and the honesty and one whose national abilities are ever in evidence when the interests of his race at stake. His first term in the eg. ture has clearly demonstrated his honesty to represent our group and has justified the confidence imposed in him by our suffrage. Another concrete example of his constructive ability was evidence when he successfully piloted a bill through the house and senate creating a tree employment bureau for the benefit of his people and located in their midst on the South Side. This institution, manned by members of our race, has furnished employment for thousands of our group and many of them positions of lucrative importance. Mr. Roberts for the past twenty years has been an acknowledged force, laboring for the betterment of our race group in this city. As a public speaker he has proven himself to be a man of remarkable clarity of vision and one who can be relied upon for same and conservative action when the interests of the race are at stake. Should Be Renominated There should be no question of his renomination and election. It should be by such an overwhelming vote as to evidence our appreciation for a creditable and worthy public servant. The people of the Third Senatorial District should exert every possible effort by their vote to show that they stand firmly behind their representatives, especially when those representatives stand for the higher ideals of civic and moral advancement. Mr. Roberts as a property owner and the head of a commendable family residing at 3405 Calumet Ave. DR. RICHIE MUST PAY ALIMONY Continued from page 1. Wife Causes Investigation After months of inquiry, Mrs. Richie located her husband at the number mentioned above. She found that he had failed to return to her and showed a remarkable change in disposition and temperament toward her. She also recalled that during his absence that she had received no support whatever and that her husband had never reached France, but instead had quietly remained in the wooded land of Texas, safe and secure from the dum-dum and shrapnel bullets. Obtained Divorce in Texas Further investigation showed that the doctor had obtained a divorce from his wife while in Texas without her knowledge and without her knowing what grounds were alleged in the bill of complaint. This information being a severe shock to her fine sensibilities, she sought counsel of the law firm of Westbrooks and Ellis, who in turn filed a petition before his honor, Theodore Brentano of the Superior Court, who after hearing the matter explained, refused to recognize the validity of the Texas divorce and ordered the doctor to contribute ten dollars a week as temporary alimony until the final adjudication of the case.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. FREE. YET SLAVES Statutory laws and executive edicts do not make men free. This sentence should be drilled into the mind of every human of color in America. It should constitute the first impression upon their brains at birth and the last when they are ready to pass to the next world. Our forefathers and most of the present leaders, blinded by ignorance or fear, have been led into serious error as to their real status as citizens in this country. Because of Lincoln's proclamation, and the various amendments to the Constitution and bills of rights passed, these leaders have gotten the idea that we are free. Being sold in the public square, forced to use the master's name, to eat certain foods, to wear certain clothes, and to go to bed at certain times, are about the only things from which we are really free. These conditions were only incident to the system; their removal has little bearing on the eradication of the system itself. Conjoined with the right to mark a ballot in some parts of the country and to hold property rights in others, the removal of these incidents constitute the Negro's freedom. In the truest and fullest sense the Negro is yet a slave. He is subject to arbitrary external sentiment and power. For his existence he is compelled to render service on an unreasonable and unfair basis. The government which he supports with his labor and blood does not define his personal rights, which are promised him through fixed laws. He has all the duties and liabilities of a free man, but is denied most of the privileges due him. He marks the ballot, but does not vote, because he has no voice or choice in the propositions to be voted upon. He is free to sell his labor, but on account of unjust and abitrary rules on the part of employers, he has very little if anything, to do with the price he shall receive for his labor. He is free to contract, but has no power to enforce performance by the second party, especially if the party to the second part is white and lives "below the line." He has the right to accumulate wealth, but not to enjoy it. He is free to be a Christian, but must serve his Christ in a Jim Crow church. These things being true, the Negro is the most abject of slaves. Just how long this condition will last depends upon himself. He must today arm himself with the armor of intelligence to wage war upon his oppressors. He must organize economically and fight for the right of choice and selection. He must put to flight every "Uncle Tom" in his own group. He must not accept dishonorable citizenship. He must not allow the lie that there is an essential difference between the races and that this difference is in the white man's favor. All men are the same under like conditions. He must extricate himself from the bonds that caused his parents to put their faith in those whose success depended upon the cheating of the Negro. Proof that the Negro is today in a worse condition than before the Civil War is plain when one sees the auction block at the "big" house substituted by the lyncher's pole at the courthouse, and the peonage system substituting open slavery, massacre taking the place of the master's whip. Lincoln said that the Union could not exist half slave and half free. Neither can the Negro exist half slave and half free. We must strike now, no details are necessary. The world today is full of current examples. THE NEW NEGRO VOTER THE NEW NEGRO VOTER The people of our race have been playing the political game with eyes blindfolded. They have neither introspection nor intelligent restrospection. The time is nearing when we shall elect a New President. God grant that he be a man of broad vision. We intend to use different methods in giving our support to men who are always giving us promissory benefits and nothing tangible in real performance. The time is ripening for the veil to be drawn back; these new candidates must be viewed from the angle of their individual achievements and the abstracted interest that they have shown in the welfare of an American, be he white or black. The Negroes' vote must tell. Solidified in purpose and ideals, we propose to be solidified in our choice of a new President. We want a President with a large soul and a human vision. He must be too honest to accept the favors of high finance and a man too courageous to subsidize his actions for political welfare. We want representatives in Congress that will fight for the cause of unsullied Americanism and will present each case and issue of each American group to the great court of American Conscience, free from "natural instincts and racial consciousness." The Negro was taught shrewdness in slavery and diplomacy in the last great war. These must be his new ethics—shrewdness, solidarity and diplomacy. WE HAVE BELIEVED TOO MUCH. WE HAVE HAD TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE. WE HAVE BEEN REACHED THROUGH ORATORICAL FLIGHTS AT THE TENSION OF HIGH EMOTION. WE SHALL BE REACHED THIS TIME ONLY THROUGH PRESENTATION OF THE FACTS OF LIFE UNDER THE UNCLOUDED LIGHT OF LOGIC AND DISCURSIVE THOUGHT. In our immediate localities and our own home towns we hear the rumbling; we have put our ears to the earth. We have seen the signs of the times, and we have peered into the future to observe what they indicated. The Government of States, counties, cities and wards must be kept in the limelight. THE NEW NEGRO INTENDS TO HAVE A VOICE IN THIS CAMPAIGN. He will have a voice through the columns of newspapers devoted to racial welfare. He will have a voice from the pulpits, from the house tops and from the street corner. The world is awakening, and so is the Negro. We are in sympathy with hordes of suffering humanity. We propose to alleviate their suffering. We have no omnipotent: pancrea, neither have we an invincible cure-all. We are merely offering the new psychology to the New Negro. The psychology that will give him a man's chance in the political, economic and social world. The New Negro is feeling the faltering pulse of public opinion. The anaesthetics to be administered are common sense, intelligence and fair play. The corrupt school of Individuals are in the yellow leaf, the hey-day of their success is on the wane. Their halcyon days are left to fade in memory. We do not propose to have the race forever denied the benefits of full American citizenship. We propose a new ideal and a new propaganda. We have witnessed many campaigns of lies. We have lived through this last dreadful campaign of silence. We have been through the mill. The mills of the gods grind very slowly. We realize that time is of the essence. We therefore begin our fight. We will make a few startling revelations that the political tongues cannot gibly deny. We intend to turn the spotlight of truth on certain individuals in high places, and the fire of truth will lick them up as the fire of God destroyed the false prophets of Baal. The Negro is going to vote for Humanity and Justice. Prepare for political freedom. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL. The Color Prejudice. (From Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal, August 6.) For Duluth, East St. Louis, Chicago, Springfield, Ill., your town, our town, any town: Any white mob which lynches a black man commits an unpardonable offence. It is a crime against law and civilization. It is a crime against the black race. It is a greater crime against the white race because there are twice as many colored folk in the world as there are white. They are increasing rapidly, they are moving toward solidarity. Read Lothrop Stoddard's new book, "The Rising Tide of Color." White Press Negro World Dream Of Empire White Press Comment on Negro World Convention Dream Of Empire In Africa Fostered (From Newark (N. J.) News, Aug. 5, 1920) For thirty days there will continue in New York, unless present plans miscarry, a convention of negroes under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the chief aim of which, so far as it is ascertainable, is the enlisting of support for a "back to Africa", movement, the head of the association, a Jamaica negro named Garvey, insisting that the negroes of the world should unite for a black nation to control the whole of what once was the Dark Continent. It is worthy of note that 20,000 members of the race cheered themselves hoarse Monday night at the plea for a negro nation and the expulsion of the white races from Africa. The program, as it stands, is a fantastic dream so far as present endeavor is concerned, offering complexities in comparison with which those of Zionism, contemplating the establishment in its former home of a race nowhere near so great numerically, afford an easy undertaking. It is a pity that this enthusiastic expression of race consciousness, which, so far as the negro is concerned, probably is without parallel in history, should be directed at so nebulous an undertaking, with the prospect that money will be poured out freely, and the only return be heartbreaks. Africa Not Likely To Be Tak (From New York (N. Y.) Telegram, August 7.) Africa Not Likely To Be Taken Over By Black Americans. (From New York (N. Y.) Telegram, August 7.) It is impossible that certain negro natives of the United States will go over to Africa and take possession of the tremendous continent and turn it into either an empire or a republic. Not all the power of the United States could do that, and the country that attempted to do it would face war with Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Belgium, to say nothing of the free countries of Morocco, Algeria, Tripoli and Abyssinia, Egypt, too, would make a light, although it virtually lies under England's rule. Africa is too big for any group of men to handle. It contains 400,000,000 people, and has about 3,000,000 more square miles in its borders than North America has. The attempt of a few thousand North Americans to seize the second greatest continent in the world would be like the negroes of Hayti trying to capture the United States. The truth is, that the negroes of the United States, speaking of them in one body, are satisfied with this country, and are striving to better themselves. They are succeeding, too, both in the North and the South. The white folk of America need the black Americans, and, despite the false statements made by certain agitators, the whites have nothing but good feeling for the negroes. There is no antagonism against them, as a rule. When you find some ill-bred, ill-educated white man going around saying he does not like negroes, you will find a man who is disliked, not only by negroes, but by the Caucasians as well. He is not a good citizen. Worthy negroes, the better class of blacks in America, are working in hand with the better class of whites in the uplift of their race. Education will solve any black problem there is in this country, and it is not difficult to make good people out of a race that is good tempered, that loves music and is fond of children. That "Black Continent" (Kansas City, Mo., Journal, Monday, August 9, 1920.) Marcus Garvey, president of what is called the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is indulging in a lot of wild talk about "rousing" the negro world and driving the whites out of Africa, which is to be "restored" to the black race. In his estimate of 400,000,000 blacks, which he computes would be sufficient to change "darkest Africa" to a uniformly ebony hue, Garvey obviously includes a great many millions of people who are not negroes in the ordinary 'ethnological sense of the term. Just how they are to be federated into an effective host which will inundate the dark continent Garvey does not take the time to explain and for that and other reasons he is giving expression to views which are illadvised, to say the least.

We will make a political tongue cannot gibly deny. of truth on certain individuals in will lick them up as the fire of God. For Humanity and Justice. Prepare While the white race has been soaking Europe with its best blood, Japan has been tightening her grip upon the hordes of Asia. The yellow, the brown, the red, the black have something in common against the white. What one colored people has done another may do. In India, in Egypt, in Africa there is a growing bitterness against the white man, and the lynchings in the United States have been the means of turning the feelings of thousands of blacks to thoughts of retaliation. There is no cure for color, but there is a cure for injustice, and that cure is justice. Comment on d Convention In Africa Fostered The African question aside, much could be accomplished in a con- vention like this of a race that, in this country at least, has made great stride in the last half-century, but is far from ready or trained for empire anywhere under the sun. The colored race in the United States has not lacked in the past for an intelligent leadership of its own of which the late Booker T. Washington was a notable exemplar. It was Washington's idea that the negro's progress must, so far as rank and file are concerned, be accomplished by steady gradations, and to this end he emphasized, in accordance with the views of his white financial backers, principally, but not altogether, of the North, manual trades, the acquisition of farm lands and the building of homes. He wanted the negro to have a substantial and what is more, a permanent stake in his community, of a sort that would make him a man to reckon upon and an industrial asset. Along this line he taught well. To leap from that conception of the working out of a race destiny to one of world power provokes a smile, but it is not to be expected that the present leaders of the race, even if they do not try to cloud what is at best a dream of empire, will fail to point the activities of the convention to things much nearer home, and for the time being infinitely more worth while. The truth is, that the negroes of the United States, speaking of them in one body, are satisfied with this country, and are striving to better themselves. They are succeeding, too, both in the North and the South. The white folk of America need the black Americans, and, despite the false statements made by certain agitators, the whites have nothing but good feeling for the negroes. There is no antagonism against them, as a rule. When you find some ill-bred, ill-educated white man going around saying he does not like negroes, you will find a man who is disbked, not only by negroes, but by the Caucasians as well. He is not a good citizen. Worthy negroes, the better class of blacks in America, are working hand in hand with the better class of whites in the uplift of their race. Education will solve any black problem there is in this country; and it is not difficult to make good people out of a race that is good tempered, that loves music and is fond of children. not the slightest reason for believing that he will create any excitement among the negroes of this country where most of his agitation is centered, for nothing could be clearer than the fact that the American negro does not regard himself as an alien residing in a foreign land, but an American living right here in the United States, his home for three centuries. There are a great many valid grounds for complaint on his part as to his treatment in the land which is much more distinctively his home than it is that of multitudes of ostensible Americans. But for all that he is emphatically here and emphatically an American, His record for unwarying Americanism is inspiringly consistent, despite the fact that his proverbial emotionalism makes him peculiarly susceptible to demagogic appeals to his emotions. ```markdown ``` Black Peril Joins Hands with the Yellow Peril GOOD LUCK OPENING SALE SOUVENIRS ALL THIS WEEK!

State St. Opposite Vendome Theater Numerous abortive attempts have been made to induce the negroes to "return" to Africa, but the American blacks never have been duped into supporting them—save, of course, in a very few individual instances. Neither black Americans nor white Americans want the former to leave this country for one which would be infinitely more alien than any other than America could possibly be. It is, therefore, all the more discreditable that such ill-advised agitation as that in which Garvey is indulging should be given currency. That the strength and sinew of the black race is in the United States needs only to be asserted to be convincing and the dream of a "black By Es-Attachie Baltimore, Md., Monday, Aug. 8— Although there seems to be a very general disposition in this country to treat the thirty days' Convention of the "Jegro Race," now in progress in New York, in the light of a joke, yet it is engaging the very serious attention, not only of the administration at Washington, but also of several friendly governments, notably, those of Great Britain and France. It is perfectly true that the platform anties of the Jamaican Marcus Garvey, in his gold and purple robes, his expectation of being addressed as Your Majesty, and his extravagance of language, perhaps peculiar to his race, are of a nature to invite ridicule. But going beneath the surface, the gathering must be looked upon as a manifestation of a movement that has made amazing progress during the last two decades; a movement that threatens are long to develop into a great international peril, nay, into a menace of the entire white races of the world. We are already confronted by the Pan-Asiatic specter, to which we have given the name of the Yellow Peril. We are now being brought face to face with a Black Peril, in the form of the organization of a Pan-African union of all the negro tribes and nationalities; not against those of Asia, but frankly and avowedly against the white races of the globe. In the case of both of these movements, Bolsheviki influences have been at work during the last two or three years, and their hand is apparent. Moreover, there is a considerable amount of evidence to show Pan-Asia and Pan-Africa are in sympathy with one another, in their animosity against the white nations. But in one notable and remarkable respect they differ. For whereas the Pan-Asiatic movement is in no sense of the word religious, the Pan-African organization professes Christianity, of a peculiar brand, and makes abundant use thereof for purposes of propaganda. It is a species of Christianity quite in keeping with its name of "The Church of Ethiopia," and which, in the Dark Continent, at any rate, is to such an extent in touch with certain forms of Mohammedanism, and retains so many elements of former Paganism that it does not constitute any obstacle to the cooperation of the blacks of every creed and denomination against those whom they are more and more coming to regard as their common enemy, the whites. Waiting for a War Moreover, in the Negro World which is Asa Philip Randolph's paper, I find the following paragraph: "The next war will be between the negroes and the whites, unless the demands for justice are recognized. With Japan to fight with us, we can win such a war." And in another continent" is merely one of the visionary schemes which could not possibly succeed by violence and could not to succeed under any circumstances. The test of the only civilization which promises hope to the world lies in its ability to enable alien and even unassimilable races to live together in harmony, working out an individual and a common destiny according to the mighty plan of things. Cosmic civilization must be subdivided into that of races and peoples, within well defined limits, but there can be no "black continent" which will hold out any alluring enticements to any race which has drunk of the inspiring fountain of American institutions. issue of the same paper: "With the rising militarism of Asia, and the standing militarism of Europe, one can foresee nothing else but an armed clash between the white and yellow races. When this clash of millions comes, an opportunity will present itself to the negro people of the world to free themselves. At that time, whether you are born an American negro, a West Indian negro, or an African negro, there will be no time to think of anything else but negro liberty on the continent of Africa. It will be through the winning of the day for African arms, that the negroes both of America and of the West Indies will be rendered safe for all time." Admirie the Bolshevista From still another number of The Negro World I take the following: "On the subject of Africa, the only government that believes in freedom for the natives of that continent is that of Bolshevist Russia, which has incorporated its belief into its declaration of rights. The other governments, like that of the United States, Italy, Japan, England and France, are all in favor of the infamous League of Nations (plague of Abominations) which proposes to subject Africa to perpetual, unresisting exploitation." The Negro World also lambets "the false stories circulated about Bolshevist misdeeds," while The Messenger, with which Asa Philip Randolph is likewise connected, rails in almost every one of its numbers against the activities of the Allies against the Bolshevist junta of Russia. In the Dark Continent All of the foremost authorities on the problem connected with the black races, such as Sir Arthur Lawley, who spent a number of years as governor in South Africa; Lord M尔iner, now secretary of state for the colonies; the late Frederick Courtney Solons, the famous lion hunter and writer upon questions relating to the Zulus and to the Kaffirs; Dr. Harry Johnston, Dr. Charles Peters, the German explorer; Archibald Colquhoun, and, indeed, all those who have studied the negro problem are unanimous in ascribing an American origin to the Pan-African movement. Whereas, here, the whites are ten times as numerous as the blacks, in the Dark Continent the whites represent barely one per cent, of an average native population of 200,000,000, who are all more or less united by a common sentiment of inherited resentment against the whites and by an overwhelming desire to drive them out of Africa. Sir Arthur Lawley, when he left South Africa to assume the governorship of Madras, gave frank and public utterances to his conviction that sooner or later a great rising of the blacks against the whites would take place throughout the length and breadth of the Dark Continent. These views were not those of an irresponsible alarmist and sentiment-monger, but of a colonial administrator of extensive experience, and invested with one of the most important offices in the gift of the British crown. Church of Ethiopia The Pan-African movement is officially styled the Ethiopian movement, and first came to the fore in South Africa in 1892, when a negro minister named Makone seceded from the Wesleyan Church at Pretoria and founded an independent church of his own, which he entitled the Church of Ethiopia. He was afterward joined by another seeder named Dwane, their third member to obtain a position with the African Methodist Episcopal Church of America. Dwane coming to the United States for the purpose, finding, however, that their affiliations with the African Methodist Church of America gave them no news stands in South Africa, Dwane, Makone and the other leaders of the Ethiopian movement managed, by promising spiritual allegiance to the Anglican Archbishop of Capetown and Primate of South Africa, to obtain them from him a charter to create them "The Order of Ethiopia," with rights to hold and control property for religious and educational purposes, and for the administration of its own affairs. This gave the Ethiopian Church a corporate existence, and enabled it to acquire very considerable wealth, which it now holds. Its pledges of spiritual allegiance to the Anglican Church have not been kept, and, indeed, were only given to secure the right to hold property. In fact, by 1904 the Order of Ethiopia had to such an extent emancipated itself from its allegiance to the Anglican Church and discredited itself in religious sense that at the great missionary conference held in that year at Pretoria it was unanimously resolved that the "Ethiopians" were unworthy to be received by other Christian bodies in communion." Christian and Non-Christian Christian and Non-Christian Today the doctrine of democratic equality which every American negro has on the tip of his tongue is being preached from every Ethiopian pulpit and platform in South Africa. The blacks are being urged "not to work for the white man, but for themselves," and, as in the United States, the organs of the negro press interested in the Ethiopian or Pan-African movement notably the Imro, are devoting all their energies to the envenoming of racial animosity, that is to say, negro infrated for the whites. In one word, the Ethiopian Church of 1892 has taken a notable part in the development, if not the actual creation, of the present great Pan-African movement, embracing non-Christian as well as Christian blacks, for the conversion of the Dark Continent into a sort of colossal Haiti, where black rules white." The Big Question A rather questionable captain of industry was addressing the students of a college. "All my success in life," he said proudly, "all my enormous financial prestige. I owe to one thing only—pluck. I want all you young men to take that for your motto: 'Pluek, pluck, pluck.'" He paused impressively, and a small student in the front row queried: "Yes, sir; but won't you please tell us whom to pluck?"—Harper's Magazine. Those Frozen Face Ads "You don't mean to tell me that young Van Sappy made all that money by the sweat of his brow!" "Dear, no; by the set of his brow. You see, he poses for all those collar advertisements."
