ELKS IN GALA CONVENTION AT KANSAS CITY "THE CHICAGO WHIP" STILL FIVE CENTS ALL THE NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE PAY NO MORE! BEST EDITORIALS TWO TWO POLICE VICTIMS OF BULLETS Tragedy Ends Career of Notorious Cafe The long expected and tragic end of the Beaux Arts Club, 2700 South State Street, reached its climax, Monday morning at 3:30. Unfortunately it took a tragedy, terrible in its results, to awaken the governing authorities to the urgent necessity of closing this house, better known as "The House of A Thousand Crimes." Story of Tragedy Differs Front one source, the story comes that Det. Sgts. William Henness, James Mulcahy and Tom Mulcahy, all travelling in the "fliver car" out of Cottage Grove Station, known as the Third Precinct, in the performance of their duty, visited the Club about 3:30 Monday morning and as they ascended the steps leading up to the Club Rooms on the second floor, with Sgt. Henness in front, a barrage of bullets met them without any prior warning, which resulted in the death of Henness and James Mulcahy, while Tom Mulcahy was The Other Side of the Story From another party, who was an eyewitness of the whole affair, he states that the three officers had been in the club for about a half an hour before the shooting began and that they came there accompanied by two women, one of whom lost a sealskin coat in the frasas, departing in haste without it, and that all three of the officers were under the influence of liquor and one came near falling over a table under the burden of his own evening sport. Tom Mulcahy's Testimony Differs Officer Tom Mulcahy gives a different version. He says that the three officers had answered a call at a Greek restaurant, 28th and State Sts, at 3:15 and finding nothing wrong they repaired to the Pekin to observe moral conditions and that upon their arrival in the Club, he went to a booth to flash the station and on leaving was accosted by Hirsche Miller (white), a notorious west side character and told to "bring him so soon that he will appear" the officer is what Mulcahy claims to have been the thing which caused the trouble.

An appeal for a new trial for Jasper had been asked but later was withdrawn. Jasper went to the gallows with his lips sealed and made no confession of his guilt.

NEWSBOY KILLED BY STRAY BULLET FOUND DEAD IN BASEMENT Interior of Beaux Art Club, Showing Photo Diagram Of How Shooting Occured. COURT BAILIFF AS- SAULTS WOMAN An interesting case was determined in Room 1108, City Hall, a branch of the Municipal Court, presided over by Judge Daniel P. Trude, last Wednesday morning. On July 14, Joseph Crawford (white), a bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago, in company with Jack Rose (white), 3115 W. Roosevelt Road, said to be a slugger for the Weber Department Store Co., went to the house of Mrs. Louise Roberts, 5634 Wabash Ave., to remove some goods and other chattel claimed to have been purchased from the Weber store. The two arrived at the Roberts' residence about 8 o'clock in the morning, and finding no male member of the family home, forced their way into the residence and endeavored to carry away certain properties alleged to have been owned by the company in question. Showed Receipts of Payment Mrs. Roberts showed them receipts of recent payment and pleaded with them to call the main office of the company in order that they might officially learn that she was not in arrears in her pay-ments. This sensible procedure wasigned by the bailiff and his aid, so they proceeded to remove the property by force, but they had reckoned without their hostess. A struggle ensued, and in the mellee Mrs. Roberts found a pen-knife on her sewing machine. After being struck several times over the head by the bailiff with his gun, she succeeded in bringing the knife into play, and wielded it with telling effect on Crawford, who upon finding himself cut, called for help. Rose Disappears At this juncture, Rose disappeared from the scene. Crawford fired his gun several times and testified in court that he was shooting at the ceiling, but upon investigation, bullet holes were discovered in the floor, dangerously near a baby who was asleep in its crib. After getting the worst of the battle, Crawford also left the house without regaining the goods, retURNING with a wagon load (Continued On Page 5, Column 4) CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 28th, 1920 Dining Car Porter Confesses Murder William Rainey, 4026 South State Street, proprietor of a barber shop at the same address, was found dead in his basement at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. When discovered his diamonds and other jewelry he was known to carry had been removed from his person. He was a prominent Mason and well known in the community. He has one sister living in the city but her address could not be learned. Police are investigating the case. POLICE CLEARED OF BRUTAL MURDER JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Aug. 25—At an inquest held yesterday before Justice of the Peace R. E. McDowell, Police Officer James Copeland was cleared of the murder of Charlie Dow, colored, whom he slew while attempting to arrest him on the night of July 21. It appears that Dow was carrying a sack containing flasks of whisky, and when accosted by the officer was unwilling to reveal the contents. Copeland then, according to witnesses, set upon Dow, beating him unconscious with his club, after which he fired three shots into the prostrate form of the colored man. As a result of this dubious justice, many colored families are today leaving for the North. Three special trains left for Chicago last night. HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Aug. 25.—Allen Humphries was today held by the coroner's jury and a charge of manslaughter was recommended in connection with the death of Mrs. Maggie Bell, an aged woman, who was hurled to the ground and died of injuries when an automobile driven by Humphries crashed into a tree on Atlantic boulevard last Friday morning. Witnesses claimed that Humphries was driving the car at an excessive rate of speed $a^d$ the time of the accident. The coroner's jury discredited Humphries' story that he was being pursued by bandits. A family fight between Walter Hall, 3516 Federal Street and John David Willis, 3513 Federal Street, resulted in the death of Luther Allen, 13 year old newsboy, 3720 Federal Street, last Saturday afternoon. The cause that led up to the death of an innocent boy is said to have been due to a family quarrel which had been in progress for the past two weeks between the Willis family and the Hall family. A warrant had been issued in the Municipal Court for Walter Hall but had been dismissed for the want of prosecution due to the absence of the complainant. Renews Fight After Court When it was discovered that the case had been dismissed Willis is said to have renewed the argument and after considerable airing of the previous trouble ran into his house to secure a gun. Hall, it is said, came out of his house before Willis returned with his gun in hand. Mistaking the newsboy for Willis, he fired, killing him instantly and escaped apprehension of the police. RACE CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SENATE BALTIMORE, MD., Aug. 25.—Despiring of securing recognition from any of the white candidates for office in this city, the colored voting strength of this city has been organized to elect W. Ashby Hawkins, prominent local attorney, to the United States Senate. Attorney Hawkins will oppose U. S. Senator John W. Smith, Democratic candidate, and O. E. Weller, Republican. SILLADY AT NEW POST New York City, Aug. 23.—John R. Shillady, former Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been appointed Executive Secretary of The National Consumers League and will direct the League's "ten year program" which has as its object federal control and regulation of the large food and packing industries of the country. ELKS CAPTURE KANSAS CITY Best People on Earth From All Parts of Nation Gather In Annual Session Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 26—The twenty-first Annual Convention of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World settled down to serious business at the Lincoln Theatre, Monday morning. The Lincoln, which is located at Eighteenth and Lydia Streets had been prepared spick and span for the occasion. All day long Sunday the happy throngs of world famed merry-makers were flocking to the city and make this picturesque western metropolis which sets upon the bill the social mechee, where east met west and north met south in one grand carnival of reunion. No earmarks of life's tragic daily grind could be descerned in the faces of those who were relating to each other the happy reminiscence of the past. City Opens Gates Kansas City, running true to form, in her usual hospitable manner greeted her guests with open arms and homes as well. The city was dressed its gala attire, bunting flowing from every roof and window, hundreds of automobiles decorated with the famous purple and white. In fact the entire-town seemed ablaze with the holiday spirit. Memorial Service Held At eight p. m. Sunday night, a vast throng of Elks and friends assembled at Allen Chapel, A. M. E. Church, 10th and South Streets, in their Annual Memorial Services, where in solemn services, befitting the occasion, they paid their respects "to noir departed brothers." Grand Chaplain Rev. C. G. Cumming of Charteston, W. Va., delivered the annual sermon. He spoke with great feeling of those that "spanned the chasm" and pointed with prophetic finger to the continued advancement of the order. Music was furnished by the Cooleridge-Taylor Glee Club, consisting of twenty-four male voices, directed by Major N. Clark Smith, assisted by Allen Chapel Choir, directed by Prof. R. G. Jackson. Hon. Armond W. Scott, Past Grand Exalted Ruler of Washington D. C., delivered a masterly address dealing extensively with the progress of the order. (Continued On Page 6, Column 8) DOG BITE CAUSES DEATH SHREVEPORT, LA., Aug. 25. Watchman R. L. Bush, aged 40, would be living today if it were not for his attachment to an extremely vicious dog he has been in the habit of keeping for the last two years. Late last week a party of joy riders stopped near the mill where Bush acted as watchman to get a drink of water. Bush's dog attacked the party, and when driven off with a stick, the master interfered with a shotgun, threatening to kill whomever molested his dog. Frank Dickson, colored, resented the attack of both the dog and its master, with the result that Bush was shot dead. A reward of $100 has been offered for the apprehension of Dickson, dead or alive. It is thought that, true to Southern custom, Dickson will be captured dead, if at all. With Dickson in the automobile were Henry Specks, Miss Elnora Tannerhill and other woman, whose name could not be learned.

Todd, 22 years old, former dining car employee, was ar- rested Saturday at the instance of Sam Reeves, 3118 Wabash Avenue, one of the porters in the car at the time of the shoot- ing of James B. Todd (white), dining car at the vanna railroad. The alleged murderer, who claimed to have formerly lived at 3937 Indiana Avenue was arrested by officers from the Englewood Station in front of a building at 5355 Federal Street. Confesses Murder Todd was taken to the State's Attorney's office by Officer Timothy O'Connor, where he confessed that he had shot Todd because he "had done him dirt." He disclaimed any intention of killing the man and asserted that he only desired to injure him out of revenge for fancied wrongs. According to the story told by Todd, he had had trouble with the dining car steward on two previous occasions, once in Pittsburgh some eight months ago and four months ago in this city. He claims to have obtained a loaded revolver from a woman liv- CHURCH MUST SOLVE PROBLEM The Rev. Truman Greene (white), pastor of The Chicago Lawn Methodist Church in his sermon Sunday night, subject, "Our Brother in Black" asserted that the final disposition of the problems involving white and colored people of this country in his opinion rests with the church for solution. The Doctor urged the inculcation of the spirit of brotherhood and said, "The Church can educate him and eradicate the inherent faults of him. We can Christianize him." As far as the doctor went in his statement, all fair-minded men must agree, but the good doctor should have gone a little farther with his theme and said, "Let us also educate and eradicate the inherent faults and Christianize the 'white brother' as well." For the Negroes' weaknesses and vices are but a reflection of the alleged superior Caucasian. DID MAILORDER BUSINESS WITH STOLEN GOODS MACON, GA., Aug. 25.—The arrest Monday of Columbus Callaway, John H, Jones, Cleonis Goldstein and John Durham broke up what is considered by the police one of the cleverest gangs of crooks in the South Officers claim that the quartet has stolen more than $50,000 worth of all kinds and descriptions of goods in the last month and were disposing of it by a mail order system to points as far distant as Atlanta, Savannah and Birmingham. Diamonds, pistols, brooches, shoes, silk wearing apparel and tobacco were found in large quantities at their rendezvous.

Finds Conductor Counting Money On entering the dining car, he found the steward adding his daily receipts. Without exchanging words, he shot him then attempted to shoot several railroad employees who had witnessed the crime, following which he ran to the front of the car, pulling the signal cord and as the train slowed down jumped, off and disapointed the impatient alley. He told him that from this city, Todd went to Denver, Colorado, and for all the information available it seemed that another murderer had escaped, whose apprehension would be impossible. Returns To Scene of Crime The memory, of his crime seemed to have operated effectively upon Todd's mind for he unconsciously found himself wending his way back to the city of his crime and even requested re-employment upon the same car in which his victim met his death. Through the identification of Reeves, the clerk in the commissary department desecured in Todd a mental picture of the man who shot the dining car conductor and promptly notified the police department, and his arrest and confession followed. COL. SIMMONS IN THE WORLD WAR Marion, Ill., Aug. 25—Roscoe Simmons, who obtained his title of Colonel because of the fact that he once passed through Kentucky, spoke here last Friday night. The "Cunnel's" subject was "Close Ranks." He was advertised as the only colored man to sit at the Peace Conference at Paris and as a man who went through the entire World War. It is not intended to deny the Colonel any of the enoluments he might obtain by sailing under false colors, but records of the late struggle which have been carefully examined fail to show the name of Colonel Roscoe Simmons as a member of the Peace Conference at Paris, nor is there so far as can be learned any record of him having taken any part upon any battlefield in the recent war. There is, however, a record of the "Cunnel" having visited Paris at the expense of a certain Chicago paper, which sent him for the purpose of being able to present to its readers some of the facts pertaining to the accomplishments of our boys in the great struggle, but the "Cunnel" spent six weeks in Paris writing about himself. C. B. LEWIS AT NATION'S CAPITAL Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.—Hon. Cary B. Lewis, a journalist of National reputation, is in this city as a guest of Editor J. Finley Wilson, of the Washington Eagle. During his stay, he has been a recipient of many personal courtesies. While in the East, Mr. Lewis will visit Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and New York. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Walgreen's Drug Store at Thirty-fifth and State street used to be a place where everyone was glad to enter. Many are not so sure now that this store is really making a bid for Negro patronage since they no longer have a colored assistant manager. Those taxi drivers with their nondescript and violent cars that cruise about after 12 o'clock and pick up the "little strangers" and conduct them to the "nice" flats where one finds all the comforts of married life and a wet country without the responsibility. Why not stick to one "hold-up game" at a time? Sam Langford for practically "laying down" in his fight with McVey just at the time when Negro pagilists are coming into their own. How can Wills get a chance at Dempsey if this "sell out" money-making fight game is kept up? Sam ought to remember that the fighting fans and promoters haven't quite forgotten Jack Johnson and his deals. Those "curb lizards" at Thirty-fifth and State street. Thank the Good Heavens for the little rain and the cool weather. We know that the cigar stores and saloons had good crowds but not necessarily more business. IN THE POLITICAL BOILER By A. N. FIELDS If the ratification of the Federal Woman's Suffrage Amendment, recently passed by the Tennessee Legislature is sustained, it will mean that our women in common with other race groups—that is to say in states where we have not been robbed of the right to vote—will have the equal right of suffrage and will be given an opportunity to assist in determining many of the great questions which are now confronting our national government for solution. This is as it should be and is a step in the right direction in that the responsibility of obtaining a higher civic and political standard will receive a new impetus. Determining Factor If the enactment is sustained by the Federal Government the women's vote will be the determining factor in the presidential election and will enable us as a group (if properly directed), to obtain many of the natural rights long denied us by the party which has so long claimed our allegiance. The new voters, because of their progressive attitude will demand a real rule of the people and will give a greater safeguard to the future public welfare of our people. Their advent into politics will infuse new blood and new ideas in our system of government and will bring to the front a new type of leadership. Honest Leadership Needed The entering of intelligent women in politics will serve to destroy a lot of sinister agencies now operating to our detriment under the guise of race leadership. It will bring to the front a type of men and women who possess a special racial morality and whose motive in politics will be to serve the common cause of their country and their race. Unfortunately for us after a half century of freedom (that is to say, physical freedom), we are still burdened with a type of men who are posing as leaders and are occupying places of prominence who are in fact but political caucers striking at the very heart of the race they claim to lead. We are compelled to view with concern and alarm the manifest decadence of ethical ideals in the life of a number of our leaders who claim to speak for the people. It is believed that the power given to the women through the right of suffrage will inspire a new and aggressive movement in the direction of fundamental morality, a morality sufficiently strong and viril to determine the beginning of number of social and political movements calculated to inspire and dominate a new political era. Our Position Undetermined Our struggle for political and economic freedom will not be obtained through the hustling, grafting Negro preacher, lawyer or doctor, who seeks to crown his efforts with unholy gold using the race as his sole political asset. For over fifty years we have been burdened with that type of leadership who have made their professions the medium through which their political collection agencies would operate. The coming of women into politics will help to change these conditions and will bring the dawn of a new day for our political freedom much nearer. UNCLE "EPH". Uncle Eph Philosophizes UNCLE EPH SAYS the great trouble with people in this world is that they do not understand each other and I'll cite you a case in point. Why don't you know if the Democratic Party had understood Wilson, they would have nominated McAdoo, or, for instance if a policeman arrests you for some misdemeanor, if you really understood him, you would simply say to him, "Officer, take me round under the L" and right there you would pay your "fine" and the case would be dropped. Probably you didn't know that a lot of cases are tried under the "L" and the defendant let go. That's giving 'em "L." I'm told Another case of misunderstanding. Feeling in the best of humor I went into a restaurant and asked for an order of ham and eggs. A very proposesess looking waitress asked me if I "wished some serious?" I didn't get her and cried out that I was serious about my breakfast and before I could get her straightened out we came near having a fuss, all due to a misunderstanding. The little girl really meant to ask me if I wanted some cereal with my breakfast. Again, the other day I stepped into a butchershop and asked for a dime's worth of dog meat for my pup and a German butcher asked me if I was going to eat it there or take it with me. You see the trouble we have in understanding each other. In fact, there are some people who still think that the Civil War was a "frame-up." While in a barber shop the other day getting one of those 25c shaves, an old gentleman came in, who had suffered some injury in trying to leave the South and wished to make an affidavit. He asked if there was a "Notorious Republican" in the place. A number of "pay roll handlers" of the National Party were offended at his remark and threatened to do him further bodily injury. Well, all the old man wanted was a Notary Public. Now, if we really understood each other when we are invited into a buffet flat to have a drink, we would tell the "lady bartender" that we are well aware of the fact that the war is over and she should take that tax off the drinks. Now, if the wife of that prominent man, really understood her husband, she would not have construed his permission for her to go to a dance to mean that she could also go to the cabbages afterward. She would have missed the severe beating he gave her when he saw in the bright lights. Thus, you can very readily see, that if people understand each other as they should, McAdoo would have been the Democratic candidate for President. I would have had cereal for breakfast, the butcher would have known I had a dog, the old man would have got his notary public without donger to his life, and the lady wouldn't have been beat up. MORAL: Let us understand each other. TO THE YOU KNOW 'EM EDITOR YOU know that Greek restaurant 3104 Indiana Avenue, a kind of a "Jim Crow affair," one end fronts on 31st Street, where they refuse you service. Well, if you know 'em, why do you continue to go in the Indiana Division. You know those autos that infest the south side and wait until one o'clock in the morning to blast the air with their loud cut-outs. Well, why don't you tell the police about it, if you can't get your sleep. You know those "flats" where the beer wagons come and leave large quantities of "near beer" (maybe near bear), and men are tramping up and down the steps all night. I know you know them because there's one or more in almost every flat building. You know that "detective agency" that is supposed to be national in its scope. Oh, I know you know HIM! Because, according to his idea, the nation is confined to the Second Ward. Well, if you know him, you better tell him to stay away from certain keyholes and that drug store at 35th and Street Streets. I know you know that big gambler who called a meeting at his residence for the purpose of raising a campaign fund to aid Maclay Hoyne in his rebellion. Of course you can't blame him because he was told in whose hands he is likely to fail. You know them people in the 31st block on Calumet Avenue, who are trying to establish a "House of All Nations." Yes, I know you know them. Well, you tell 'em to be careful or the Committee of Fifteen will get 'em. Oh, you must know that doctor that got his divorce in Texas. Well, it is intimated that this isn't the first time he used Texas as the New Reno. Well, all Texas bulls are not so strong. I know you know that prominent doctor (that is, he calls himself prominent), who has given up what little detail he did during his trying to get in the political game. You must know him. Well, he is really a pain. Statement of Condition Lincoln State Bank of Chicago SAFETY DEPOSIT VAULTS---BOXES $3.00 PER YEAR AND UPWARDS Safety Vault Space to Owners of Liberty Bonds---FREE "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man in a suit bending forward to knock on a door. NOSEY was standing in front of one of those stores that say on the front. Five and Ten Cent Store, and where you go in and find that five and ten cents refer only to the handle of a tea pot and that the whole pot costs you a dollar. A truck from Carson, Pirie, Scott drove up and unloaded a whole lot of boxes. The next day Nosey priceed some of the articles and then visited the emporium of Carson, Pirie, Scott at one of those basement sales and saw where that store on 35th Street could make a good profit selling articles at the prices they did. Yet the good accommodating colored people buy and buy with no sense of values. Another case of, "How do they do it?" ON last Monday Nosey was forced to eat again and pushed his way into one of those "coffee stands" on State Street that sometime move away to a different location for the next day and ordered up some coffee. Over the coffee urn was a sign that read, "Don't make fun of the coffee, you may be old and weak some day." Nosey had to smile at the frankness and made copy of the sign to present it to that nice little dirty restaurant on 35th Street, near State, as they need it more than the little pig ankle joint. SOME women can never leave their love affairs out of their business. That was the reason that two waitresses at what used to be Mexican Frank's Restaurant came to blows and spilled the perfectly good blackberry cobbler all over the floor the other day. Such a hair pulling one never saw before and some of the diners lost their appetite and got no rebate on their check. Even the stout man in charge of the place could not separate the combatants and they struggled on into the kitchen to the accompaniment of breaking dishes. One has heard of music with your meals, but a good scrap is an invocation that ovel indeed. EVERY good Elk in Chicago is either going or has gone to the Elk's Convention in Kansas City. Nosey was at the train to say a fond farewell last Saturday night and noticed the wife, and the pretty wife, too, of that Pullman porter who had left a few hours before on his regular nine day trip to Los Angeles get aboard the train. But Nosey's eyes opened wide when he saw the prominent business man, politician, and man of affairs board the same train and sit in the same compartment of the Pullman car. Nothing would have been thought of the incident if one did not remember that it was only three weeks ago that this same gentleman had to leave this lady's house while she held the door, preventing her husband from entering on his return from the station after missing his regular run. Conventions are great things, eh? YOUNG housewives should be careful about joining the Housewives' Union and then going on a strike. That young real estate dealer's wife who went on a strike up into the Michigan woods will find that her place has been capably filled in her absence. Noticing the shadow of a woman's form flitting back and forth across the lowered shade, and knowing that the wife was away, Nosey inquired as to the whys and wherefores of the mystery. He was politely informed that the young husband had employed a strikebreaker. Oh, you seab labor! SAVINGS DEPT.

SERVED EIGHT YEARS FOR ANOTHER'S CRIME Austin, Tex., Aug. 23.—Benjamin Perry has at last received belated justice after eight years of a life sentence in the penitentiary of this state for criminal assault. Another man by the name of Green Hunter, who was hanged in Dallas, Texas, confessed that he committed the crime for which Perry was convicted. At the time of the trial, competent witnesses testified as to the impossibility of Perry having been at the scene of the crime at the time of its commission. Witnesses also testified to his good character, but nevertheless, the usual mockery of a Southern trial was gone through by judge and jury and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Schools Advised to Teach Negro History Up-Reach Magazine to Direct Movement The resolution adopted by the National Association of Colored Teachers at its recent annual meeting in Baltimore reads as follows: "Resolved, That our colored teachers throughout the country be urged to introduce the systematic study of the history and literature of the Negro race in their schools in order that our youth will acquire pride of race which will result from a knowledge and study of its achievements and progress.

MUSICAL COMEDY & MOVIE REVUE "BROADWAY GOSSIPS" PACKS THE G R A N D THEATER — SHELTON BROOKS TRIUMPHS AT AVENUE THEATER. The Grand "Broadway Gossip" still continues to pack the house on its second week. The show is a celebration of the talent for the remainder of its four weeks engagement. The Chinatown hit is alone worth the admission price and the gorgeous cabaret setting is a real treat. One of the big hits is the real Teresa. The big dainty little comedienne who扑上 over her "Daddy Song" to the general delight of all, and another young lady by the name of Whitfield wrestles the house with her song. "Never forget that time," A fine show it is, and don't fail to see it. The Avenue "Canary Cottage," with Shelton Brooks, began its two weeks' run at the Avenue on Monday night. The opening was a big one, the house selling out solid long before curtain fell. The music was lively, the music music were well in evidence. "Canary Cottage," an Oliver Moso creation, is a good vehicle but does not possess the mor that one would expect to hear in a colored show; nevertheless, the show went over in great style and the audience was well Mr. Shelton Brooks, the premier comedian, easily handled his comedy role, and is he funny. Yes, er, funny! Brooks is a man funny. Mr. Brooks was a good one for Brooks, and I could see in certain parts of the piece where Mr. Brooks was hampier than his own original work, brought it up to the Negro standard of comedy. Mr. Ole Powers was entertaining Brooks. Mrs. Powers a putted servant and Bertha Blanks looked and acted well as the mother, in the character of Mrs. Silas Hugg, Evalym Preer, the movie actress, was perfection, and her audience was impressed. The audience at will. Alberta Hunter was very good, but talked just a little too soft, as it was hard for the house to catch her. The beat and received five encounters to her "Rock Me to Sleep" number. Marguerite Lee was easily the hit of the show and shared honors with her. Her performance was made for her, and her rendition of "Here's Your Opportunity," a Brooks number, was a sensation and a real start for the rest. Keith was natural in his character and scored a hundred per cent. The rest of the cast were all capable and deserve credit in the show. "The Jazz Dance Repertoire," sung by Brooks, and the beautiful pony chorus stopped the show, and Brooks put over Brooks' new song, "The Wedding March," in jazz tune, and one of the song hits was "Wake Me Up with the Brooks." Well, this is a good show and the best dressed show since Williams and Walker days and no one will regret it. Brooks, with orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Blanch Walton, was in good form. The Monogram Byrd and Ewings' Seminary Girls, a big musical comedy, is here this week, and as usual the house is packed.

Secures warrior for arrest At the instance of the police, Crawford secured a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. koberts, charging her with assault with a deadly weapon. She secured bail, and retained the services of Richard E. Westbrook to defend her. The case came for trial before Judge Trude, a jury was demanded, and the judicial machinery set in action. Crawford, aided by Rose, testified that he had gone to the Roberts home for the purpose of serving a writ to plevin, and that without notice, Mrs. Roberts began to assault him, with a knife. At the conclusion of his testimony, Mrs. Roberts related her testimony to the jury at the conclusion of which Assistant State's Attorney Hodge, in making his argument to the jurors, demanded the same penalty of the law, which, if convicted, meant one year confinement and $1,000 fine. The State's Attorney in his tirade said: "To and this woman not guilty would be to encourage 'those people out there' not to respect the law. Make an example of this woman so that she and all of her 'folks out there' will know that she cannot assault an officer of the court." Attorney Westbrook in answer to the State's Attorney, said to the jury: "This incident is but a repetition of what it means to give authority to men of small souls such as Crawford, who, drunk with a little power, utterly disregards the sacredness of one's home and seeks to vent his racial spleen upon an unoffending woman under the guise that he is performing his duty as an officer of the court. His line of argument seemed to have convinced the jury, for they were only out fifteen minutes and returned a verdict of "not guilty." INSULT CAUSES OFFICER'S DEATH Winston Salem, N.

KANSAS CITY SPARKS By Chas. A. Starks Perhaps one of the most likely features the visitors enjoyed incidental to the Elks' convention was the big carnival. The peculiar location of the mammoth affair is noteworthy, as the statue stands right in the very axis of great thriving mass of colored people going to and fro in their daily heats. Talk about your "black bear" hat, hooded with a furry PASEO! Part of a grand boulevard system, with votaries touching a larger portion of the city, splits this long black belt into halves, each with a distinct closet proximity, a perpetual joy of tree and flower; of broad green expanse; of playgrounds, tennis courts and a race course; of a large, well-furnished circle. Here, 'mid these beautiful surroundings and joyous atmosphere, the Elks have been well entertained. The headgear of especially nifty in their breaky uniforms of their lodge colors. A rich glow is seen from the purple shirt and tassel headgear—white trousers and immaculate shoes. There are fully seventeen places where one can get a shine in three blocks on 18th street, and as many more scattered throughout the city. They evidently believe in letting the "soul" shine brightly. The city is surfeited with fine drug stores, good restaurants. Small grocery stores are becoming as thick as shining parlor. There are more than 100 establishments more or less representative. Though they have no banks, they are ready for one. The money is here. A bank accounts are available there is strictly for the greater business and social prestige between 18th and 12th streets. The famous "1600" block has been tubbed the "Millionaires' Row," because so much money is poured into that block. However, 18th street seems to the great "it." This is true, possibly, on account of its pivotal location. One is struck by the many automobiles in the street. The conservative estimate places the total investment beyond the three-fourths million mark. The Roberts Automobile Brokers, a well-known consignor part in this acquisition of values. WORLD WONDER OIL AND GAS CO. PAYS DIVIDENDS To the agreeable surprise of the many investors and well wishers of the World Wonder Oil and Gas Company thru the skillful management of its president and founder Mr. J. J. Allen the company is now paying a handsome dividend. Two Years Old. Two years ago this company was wrapped in the crevices of Allen's fertile mind. It purchased first a 48 acre lease that now has producing oil and gas wells in Allen County, Kansas. Today the company towns over two hundred acres of oil lands in Oklahoma; it is estimated to be worth over a hundred thousand dollars as she stands without one hole being bored. Elks to Visit Fields. President Allen thru his board of directors announces from his local offices at 1518 E 18th St., Kansas City, that they plan to add to the pleasures of the visiting elks by taking them over the now producing Allen County Fields.

Ruth Osprey Store The Political World JUDGE TRUDE CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION Judge Samuel H. Trude, a member of the Municipal Court Bench, and for twenty years a resident of the Second Ward, now residing at the Cooper-Carlton Hotel, 5037 Hyde Park Boulevard has announced his candidacy for reelection on the Republican ticket to succeed himself on the bench. Judge Trude is now concluding his first term of six years on the bench, for which as a reward for his judicial conduct he has received the highest commendation of the daily press and all of the leading civic bodies and has endeared himself to the citizens of Chicago of all creeds and colors by reason of his fair and impartial conduct in the administration of his court. 395 P.E.D. Twenty Years a Resident of Second Ward For twenty years, Judge Trude was a resident of the Second Ward and a member of the Second Ward Organization, seventeen years of which time he was a precinct captain and aided in the building up of the Republican Party. He was associated with such men as the late Larry Hull, Ex-Judge Hennesey and Senator George W. Harding, Edward H. Wright, Edw. H. Morris, Edw. D. Green, Adelbert Roberts, Aldermen Jackson, Anderson and DePriest, Bishop A. J. Carsey and numerous others who have labored for the solidification of the Republican Organization. As a result of his contact, it is needless to say that he is not prepared to view with sympathy and concern the troubles of "the man fartherest down." Two Sons in the War In the late World War, the Judge contributed two sons who saw service in defense of their country. The Judge has taken an active part in all affairs of civic interest and has worked zealously for the interests of the city. In 1896, he was elected Supervisor on the Republican ticket for the South Town. During his time he created a department and appointed the first colored woman as a clerk in that office. He also appointed Hon. Edw. H. Morris, attorney of the South Town. He received the highest commendation for his conduction of this office. The Duties of the Court Judge Trude believes that it is the duty of a judge to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the constitution of the State of Illinois and the law of the land. That a judge should uphold the ethics of the legal profession and the dignity of the court and that every person is entitled to a courteous and patient hearing and to a $^4$fair and impartial trial. His career upon the bench has exemplified his belief and invoked confidence and support of those who look to the bench as the stabilizing influence of municipal life.—1.1. Congressman William B. McKinley of Champaign, Illinois, the choice of the Anti-Thompson forces for United States Senator is grown into a national leader. He was elected to the State. A few nights ago, he was introduced at the Chautauqua at 18th and Prairie Avenue, under the auspices of Ogliver Baptist International committeeman from Georgia. Col. Johnson said in his introduction that there was as much similarity in the character of William B. McKinley as in the character of William B. McKinley as is in their name. Great Philanthropist Congressman McKinley is a self-made man having struggled from the position of a member close to that of one of the greatest presidents of the United States, familiar with the hardships which the young men and women of our group have to face. In addition to this he has proven that he is a man of great ability and efforts to exalt themselves. It is reported that a Dr. Young of Washington, D. C., a young college physician, was educated by Congressman McKinley and several other places where he has exhibited philanthropic spirit and generosity. Backed by Some of Best Men of State The endorsement of such well-known friends of the race as Mr. Green of Urbana, IH, Hon Fred R. Sterling of Rockford, Ill., Hon Fred R. Sterling of Chicago, and Atty. Gen. Brundage, is sufficient to the support of every member of the race. The young men have organized a flying squadron, the purpose of which is to stum the city with fire and to protect the cities and his fitness to represent in Congress. HON. JNO. KJELLANDER FOR RENOMINATION Hon. John Kjellander, Republican candidate for renomination for clerk of the Superior Court, announces to the voters of the County of Cumberland by mail the occasion and election should be assured. Mr. Kjellander was city sealer under the late Mayor Busse and for five years represented twenty-five counties, which he now resides, the City council which he servant his record stands out in bold relief as one who always administered his office with an eye singled to the best interests of his constituents. All he called that during his tenure of office as city sealer that he caused to be introduced into Congress a number of beneficial measures having as their object the prevention of short weights to house animals. He has been a consistent supporter of the Republican party and its principles all of his life and is a firm believer in all things which make for civic and political advantage. He has also provided support of all citizens who believe that his conduct as a public official justifies a continuation of their confidence and respect. BELL & COLLINGS Pure Food Lunch Rooms Correct Service ALWAYS OPEN 3457 State Street 170 W. Harrison St. 393 PEI Judge Holmes, who is one of the Republican candidates running in the primaries for Municipal Court Judge, was one of the many candidates who have been ducted by Olivet Baptist Church at 38th and Prairie avenue last week. The address of the judge was replete with wholesome advice and wisdom. Holmes with clarity and frankness many of the social and economic problems affecting our group and declared that if renominated and elected he would be the best candidate in his actions in the past in availing himself of every possible opportunity of encouraging a square deal for "the man fartherest down." CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE MASON EN- DORSED Endorsed by Leading Representative Colored Men for Re-election "We regard the services of Senator Mason in the forthcoming Congress as being of disfavor to the race with which we are allied and we urge the colored voters of the State of Illinois to exert every possible and wholesome influence in renomination and election may be assured." MONSTER MASS MEETING FOR HARMONY What is destined to be the greatest political rally in the history of Illinois politics will be the big mass meeting to be held by the Anti-Thompson forces at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Sunday afternoon, September the 11th, the Army will make this meeting the most successful ever held. Big Guns to Speak Col. Franklin A. Denison, Hon. Warren B. Douglas, and Col. John R. Marshall are among the local leaders who have arranged to have the Republican Party nominate a new error, Hon. Louis L. Emmerson, Hon. Fred Steeling and Atty. General Brundage and Andrew McCarthy. This is the first time for many years that the faction of the Republican Party has dared to invade the so-called Thompson stronghold. To Expose Thompson Ronald R. Denison candidate for Congress and the Hon. Warren R. Douglas, who is running to succeed himself in the General Assembly will be among the principal local speakers. This is the number of respectable positions being held by colored people under both factions and find that the Brundage-Brundage faction have given recognition according to their numbers. EMMEERSON BIDDING FOR FAVOR Secretary of State, Louis L. Emmettson, who is re-election is asking the support of the people of Illinois for his service, rendered during his term of office as a public official. The manner in which the support of the people of Illinois has taken care of by the Secretary of State and his staff is said by him to justify the continuation of his office. He pledges himself to continue to uphold the high dignity of his office and to endeavor every means possible in conformity with high standards of the citizens of the State of Illinois will continue to receive prompt and efficient service in the future as they have in the past—Ady. 31 HERITAGE The Hon. Joseph F. Haas, Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, after several months of persuasion, has decided to run for re-election. Mr. Haas has given the County the best and most efficient administration of this office that it has ever had. He has saved thousands of dollars to voters and taxpayers of Cook County. A Friend of the Race Mr. Haas is a proven friend of the race. I have been appointed office force is composed of colored employees, a very unique and significant act about these employees is that they hold some most responsible position under supervision. Many people, upon entering the County Building and seeing the race so not being familiar with the difference between the City Hall and the County Building, get the false impression that Mayor William Hale will be the main support of our office every colored man or woman holding positions of political trust and confidence in that build. If there ever was a public official that deserved the highest honor, that man is the Hon. Joseph F. Haas—Adv. YOUR Free Suit Take this Fine Merle-to-Measure Suit and don't pay us one cent for it.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Does The Negro Demand Social Equality? There has been a lot of prattlings, ravings and cantings on equality. Social equality is the particular aspect and phase that we will presently consider. Our leaders and our organizations are building their platforms on such structures as "Equality of opportunity," "Equality of Civic privileges," "Equality of labor," "Equality of voting," and "Equality in the service given by public utilities." They all agree or at least they say they agree on one point and one tenet. That is that they and the race at large do not want social equality. THIS IS ONLY HYPOCRISY, LACK OF MORAL COURAGE, LACK OF STAMINA AND EXAGGERATED EVASIVENESS. By social equality we mean the intercommunion of race, intermarriages, and companionable association between all people. To-wit: There should be intermarriages between races BECAUSE THE UNPARDONABLE SIN WOULD BE LEFT UNPALLIATED IF MARRIAGE COULD NOT CONDONE IT. We believe in racial companionability because it is inseparable from the fundamental idea of universal brotherhood. We believe in indiscriminate association because the express or implied denial or practical disallowance would prevent the said equality in economic and civil spheres. We see the fallacy and illogic of our leaders' platform and we openly assert that the Negro wants equality and that the law of convention and society demands that he should have it. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S speech at the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, later known as the famous "Atlanta Compromise," but which we prefer to style as the infamous sale of Negro rights, was the first open stand to be taken against Social Equality. "United as the hand for all purposes of united race welfare; separate as the fingers in all things social. This paradox and dogma we will dismiss without reiteration and comment." It is worthless and cowardly contemptible on its face. Sharp lines of natural distinction are evident in the family of man. Different psychologies are plainly manifest. Difference and graduations in the civilization and progress of races is clearly obvious. Man is an evolutionary creature. He will stay where he is but he will continue to evolve. The present is panoramic and kaleidoscopic. The law of evolution requires that our civilization be changed. Therefore civilization is on the up grade. AND WHO KNOWS THAT THE LOST CIVILIZATION OF THE BLACK MAN, THAT THE PRESENT HISTORIANS ARE AFRAID TO WRITE OF MAY NOT CONTAIN THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE NEW? THERE IS NO NEED TO DIP BACK INTO ARCHAEOLOGY OR ETHNOLOGY. WE MERELY START WHERE DARWIN STARTED. ALL NATURAL CREATION WAS EVOLVED FROM ONE GERM. And on thru the ages the germ of life has remained inexplicable, undefinable. THERE IS AN EQUALITY IN OUR BEGINNINGS. THE EQUALITY OF LIFE. THERE IS EQUALITY IN OUR ENDINGS. THE EQUALITY OF DEATH. And how anyone can claim that the races are separate and distinct and that they must so remain has always appeared to us an insult to intelligence. The short medium that we revel and bask in is so transient and flitting. The affairs of men so intertangled and interwoven. Natural life so short it seems a waste of energy and time to make the races separate and distinct throughout their natural existence. God made man, the Negro is a man, therefore God made the Negro. He thinks, feels and will. He reasons. He therefore stands with the other races at the apex of evolutionary civilization. He cannot be considered a social leper. In America we find him struggling with the burdens of life and find his leaders warped and pussilanimous. The Negro admits the conclusions of his leaders because he has not reasoned logically thru the labyrinth of his own affairs. We have stated the platform of those who believe the Negro should not have social equality. THE NEGRO MUST HAVE SOCIAL EQUALITY. He must believe in himself and awake to the fact that if he is good enough to work with white or yellow or brown men that he is good enough to play with him, that if he is good enough to die with these people, he is good enough to live with them. It is futile to say that two carpenters, one black and one white, who build a house and share lunches and smokes together for three months should not also leave the latch on the outside to each other's homes. Therefore economic equality separate and distinct from social equality is a mere forces and disintegrating evil. We do not claim that a college professor should choose as a companion a street laborer. Certainly not. There is no mutuality of mind and no points of mutual interest. We claim, however, that Kelly Miller, William Pickens, or W. E. B. Du Bois would be fitting associates of Hadley of Yale or Lowell of Harvard. Therefore intellectual equality should result in social equality because rational beings reach each other only thru the mind. WHO THINKS THAT THE THIEF OF WOMAN'S VIRTUE SHOULD BE PLACED ON A HIGHER SOCIAL PLANE THAN THE WOMAN? From "time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" white men have violated the sanctity of our home and preyed on the frailties and weaknesses of our women. Legal systems have offered no remedy because the Negro, not claiming social equality, could not call for a marriage to condone the offense. This position is an anachronism and out of shape with the times. The Negro wants social equality as a fact and not as an ideal. He wants social equality not because of any "honor" involved, but on the basis of merit. In order to keep abreast with the onrushing tide of civilization he must demand it. In order to make equality of opportunity practical and immutable he must insist on it. IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WOMANHOOD OF THE RACE HE MUST FIGHT FOR IT. OUT OF THE DARKNESS, OUT OF THE NIGHT, THE NEGRO GROPES AS A BLINDED CHILD. OPEN HIS EYES TO GOD'S WORLD, THE WORLD POLITIC, WHERE ALL RACES MUST AND WILL BE EQUAL IN ALL THINGS. The Church Is Keeping Pace Chicago, according to statistics, is the most wicked city in the world. On the other hand it is one of the most progressive communities in the world. The present increase in crime is alarming. It is more so when it is noted how it is finding recruits in great numbers among the lawmakers and custodians of the law. Thousands of our people are migrating to this city every day and we are glad to see them come. To the everlasting discredit of the Southern whites, whose industrial and economic progress depends upon the Negro, most of these immigrants have not had many educational advantages. It is more natural and certainly easier to be evil, and indifferent, than to be good and consistent. In the light of this well established truth a problem of great significance is presented to the rational element of the Negro Race. Because of the lack of training and an accurate knowledge of cosmopolitan customs, our young folk especially are more liable to fall into the hands of contriving agents of infamy. For many reasons we cannot afford to lose a single man, woman or child. We are confronted with many weighty problems. The surface has not even been scratched. We are making history in this part of America. We are doing it with many handicaps. We have been falsely advertised by Southern whites, we have been pictured as brutes unfit for the finer things of life. We must give the lie to this. An encouraging sign is now apparent. The church is wide awake. The Olivet Baptist Church is just ending an educational chautauqua. Quin Chapel is conducting a series of Special Sermons. Bethel and many of the other churches are preparing many kinds of mental and moral calisthenics. This work must never cease. If kept up it will not only serve as a fortification against vice and crime, but a stimulant and tonic. It is this kind of work only that may be relied upon to waft the race to heights delectable. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIALS. **Law Must Be Supreme** (From Houston Post) The grower from Houston and constituted authority in this country is evidenced by the frequent outbreaks resulting in riots and violence. No section of the country seems to have been able to monopoly on releasing the anarchistic proclivities of certain classes of people. They lynch to avenge a crime, in another it may be the out growth of race prejudice, or the attempt of dis satisfied workmen to prevent others from perishing. It is not the lack of legislation that the cause, such outbreaks, as have occurred at Denver, at West Frankfort Ill. at Duluth or at Paris, Texas, they are pure and pure, an people, we stabilize the state. This growth of contempt for law and the continued only at the peril of organized society are institutions. If groups of citizens are going to be flowered to rise and wreak vengeance upon the state, they must own hands with impunity, we shall soon be in a state of anarchy rivaling that of Russia. We deal with rioters and courageous action in dealing with rioters. The threat to breaks must be suppressed and the leaders in them punished. Causes can be inquired into, understand that they can not engage in such actions up and take the law into their own hands whenever they are so inclined. There has dealt with the leaders of mobs and rioters, no many of them have gotten away with their outbreaks that it is coming to be believed that men can engage in such rebellions with no effort to remove them from their outbreaks with no outbreaks of every sort. It is also highly desirable that every educational agency in the state be open to the success of removing the law and peaceful action for refraining from ances or attaining demands. But in the meantime the law should deal with those who overreach the law and stage rebellions to gain their own ends. No man should be elected to public office who has not the courage to deal with these situations promptly and effectively. Negroes and Negroes Chicago Daily News, August 17 When it is remembered that the Negro has been in this country so many years, it is indeed strange, to say the least, that he is so little known. I speak particularly of the better class of the race—the mainly, well bred and honest Negro, the class that always looks down upon and despises the criminal with as much sincerity as that manifested by the best of the white race. Too often in these days only the evil in the race is seen and held up for the inspection of the world. Rarely if ever is the good mentioned. The lowest and most degraded Negro is often pointed out as a sample of the entire race. What he does as a criminal is generally given a more prominent and conspicuous place in some newspapers than is allotted to the noblest deed of the more worthy colored man. Is it not time that the better element among us should be known? Why condemn and vify a whole class of students of the lower classes among us de? Speech Delivered by Hon. Martin B. Madden in the House of Representatives on The Heroism of Black Soldiers in the World War. Mr. Chairman, I am compelled to say that in the face of the present struggle we are in a position to take a portion of our population nearly 12,000,000 American citizens, historically known as a fighting force in all the wars of the past, a strong force in the front rank of the world's best fighters. Perhaps the country is not aware of this great military resource, which it has been able to build up with strength that may well enable us to hope for success in any struggle. Our recent historians fail to make any mention whatever concerning the early enlistments in the American Army of colored soldiers. Truthfully speaking, the colored soldier as played an important well as a part in the history of the country. I shall refer to a few of these events, which will prove beyond any controversy the heroism of the American soldier or color. Prejudice, Mr. Chairman, is said to be a species of injustice, so arrogant in its actions that it will not self-esteem it. It is destitute of all reason and in its operations it actually refuses to countenance so much as an appeal from its unreasoning The colored man in this country has been a loyal soldier, and his record is coeval with the war in the 1775 with the Revolutionary War. History tells us that Varnum's Rhode Island Battalion was the first large aggregation of colored troops served in, an army war, and a company of 3000 men who were volunteers, and enlisted from the States of Connecticut, New York, and New Hampshire. Each of these States also furnished a company of colored men to serve in the war's engagements. Thus before the close of this war there were few companies, brigades, or regiments which did not contain some colored people. These companies and brigades appear to have been made up from the free colored people of the States; but before the war there were no colored people in the service of the Army, as the slaveholders did.

Some of the most loyal and noble-hearted people in America are identified with the colored race. And I contend that they ought to be known; they ought to be encouraged and given credit. You will not find them in the slums among the degraded and outcast. We ministers and religious workers, like the Master, sometimes have to go there to lift them up. But to see the Negro at his best you must visit our churches, our homes and our clubs. We are not all alike. If we were the better class of Negroes would not, now and then, be moving into a more quiet and desirable part of the city where perhaps they are not wanted. It is a mistake to say that by so doing they are seeking social equality. They are looking for rest and home-like surroundings. They want peace and happiness, law and order. That is why, a few weeks ago, some of the better class of colored men joined hands with white men in an effort to bring to justice some so-called Abyssinian enthusiasts who sought to start another race plot. That was a fine illustration to convince the world that there are Negroes and Negroes WHY THE LYNCHERS QUIT Chicago Evening Journal Aug. 18. Canada had a narrow escape from a lynching the other day, but—she escaped. The mob got hold of the prisoner, who is charged with a dastardly crime, and the habit of fair play was stronger in the would-be lynchers, and they allowed the man to speak. He declared his innocence, and the crowd, still governed, even in its wrath, by the long habit of giving accused men a fair chance, handed him back to the officers of the law to be held for trial. What would not patriotic Americans give if lynching parties on this side of the line behaved the same way! The traditional British respect for law is strong in Canada, but that was not the saving element in this case. The mob had defied the law by raiding the jail and seizing the prisoner. It was the sheer habit of fair play. The crowd wanted to be fair, felt that it had to be fair, even to a man it believed to be one of the vilest criminals; and then suddenly awoke to the fact that there can be no fair play without law. Perhaps there may be a valuable suggestion for our own country in this fact. Perhaps if we talked less about the majesty of the law and more about fair play which the law is designed to secure, we might make more progress in stopping the lynchings outbreaks which are such a costly disgrace to our republic. Why not try the experiment? not care to lose their human property, as they termed it. Hence even at that early period it was necessary to use colored troops in our military conflicts. The issue of employing shives to light our battles nevertheless became a burning one, as the enemy's conduct of safety noted that a free men should be enlisted as soldiers". During that same year, in five month's period, he was in command, issued an order prohibiting him in munitions, though still retaining in the service all who had up to that time enlisted. As an evidence of the heroism of the negro soldier, he wrote in his letter to Congress, I quote the following from the Annals of Congress, under date of December 5, 1775: To the honorable General Court of the Masses, the subscribers beg leave to report to your honorable house—which we do in justice to the character of so brave it man—that under the command of a delegate, that a negro named Salem Poor, declared, that he was a great captain. Ames's company in the last Battle of Charleston, behaved like an experienced officer as an excellent soldier. To set forth his conduct would be tedious. We would only beg to say in the persons of this negro 'centers on the battle of the soldier. The reward due to so great and disliked a character we submit to Congress.

This be indeed, apollonia and a waltat tested tribute to the gallanty of a worthy negro soldier of the Revolutionary War, and is only one of the many instances wherein black men offered their lives as willing sacrifices for a country the people of which for years held their race in hodgeague Advt.

It does not require compounding of pills plasters and drugs of all kinds, but it deals with the natural forces of life which must be undearled and guided to achieve the best results. A. B. T h i s is progressive age is demanding changes in every human being those changes always aim at perfection and there is no difference in these respects in the medical profession. We need to say the individuals who are centering the attention upon poison poison breath or the surgeon's knife will and to their sorrow that they are leaning on broken fists and depending on a broken stick. It is my wish to familiarize those who shall read these columns from time to time to contain fundamental facts which they shall understand of health, and the first is, that drugs are for the most part poison substances maintaining of health, and the first is, that life. They are heterogeneous to the physical organism and an enuity to the vital forces. In disease certain poisons are generated in the body which work disastrously, imbalances in the body which impair the utility is lost with ultimate dissolution. If these organs get the proper counter stimulation from the proper drug, the result is at least a physical discomfort. Drugs have their uses, therefore, and should be used judiciously, and the potential use of drugs in the hope that they shall revolutionize the activities of the rebellious organs and cause them to work normally must eventually lead to disappointment. It is this injunctions use of drugs that is creating so many drug friends and this evil will proceed till humanity learns to realize that they must be patient, but instead they insistently demand immediate relief and what must the doctor do? Ease their pain and he applauded or refused to do so and contempt is a耻辱性 basis or contempt which are sure to follow and he be forever discounted. Under our economic conditions no physician could afford to suffer this except he is not a patient, a耻辱性 basis or contempt means and does not care for the harm adverse criticism would do to him. It is easy enough to ease pain, but to regain full natural health is a horse of a different color. One case a horse of a different color or a moderner one it means persistent and faithful continuance in well doing. RECREATION BUILDING IN QUINCEY Quincy, Ill., Aug. 24.—At the instance of Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Maloue, former residents of this city, a campaign is on to raise $100,000 for the purpose of erecting an institution, having as its object the teaching of higher ideals of civic and racial morality. An unusual interest has manifested itself in the consummation of this project, both by the leading white people as well as by members of our race. Mr. S. S. Dutton is president and F. E. Cook is secretary of the organization formed to foster this movement. Over $1,000 was raised at the first meeting. MEMORY OF MACEO HONORED (By Super Press Service.) Havana, Cuba-Aug. 23.—The memory of Gen Maceo, who was killed in before the dawn of the independence of the country in the woods of Cachalu, was observed here on Cuban Memorial Day. While December 7th was the real anniversary of Gen Maceo's death, this celebration attracted the attention of all the national capitol. He was regarded by his fellow countrymen as the foremost advocate of Cuban liberty and independence. LYNCHING BRINGS ALARM TO SOUTH (By Staff Correspondent.) OZARK, ALA. Aug. 25—Evidence that the economic pressure being brought to bear on account of the wave of lynching now prevailing in the South is bearing fruit was apparent at the Dale County Circuit Court when Judge J. S. Williams, presiding over the fall session, instructed the grand jury to go to the very roots of the lynching of two colored men, Sill Spinks and Juster Jenkins, on the night of July 30, near Grimes, Ala. Huge Crowds Attend Court. Huge crowds were present watching every move made, and it is said that witnesses, have been summoned from Midland, Grimes, and that territory. It is claimed that the sentiment is divided between those who wish to see the South rid of the lynch epidemic and those who fear indictment for the lynching. Report Evidence to Indict Several. It is said that evidence has been reported which will, probably, result in the indictment of several sons of the leading men of this community, and much speculation is being made as to whether these men will receive immunity on account of their connections. Migration Has Impoverished County. It is thought that the present investigations are due not so much to the change in spirit of the Southerners as to the fact that this county has been practically impoverished by the migration of our race. Fully 10,000 colored people deserted the county immediately after the lynchings, and agriculture is at a standstill. Circular letters have been sent many of the colored people of the vicinity asking them to remain as a patriotic duty. An ironical feature is that most of the recipients can neither read nor write, on account of the fact that the South's educational program does not include the Negro. The circulars thus miss their mark. NEWS OF "OLD DOMINION STATE" The National City Woolen Mills, located at 3138 S. State Street, opposite the Vendome Theatre, has met with a wonderful success since the Good Luck Lacking Sale made was advertised. The store has been packed to capacity every day and night since the opening, in other words as George Shaw would say they played to a full house.

CALL MARCUS GARVEY DANGEROUS New York City, Aug. 23—Mr. Henry F. Downing reputed to be a distinguished author, writer and traveler with headquarters in London and New York speaks in apprehensive terms of the activities of Marcus Garvey and his Universal plan for the domination of Africa. Mr. Downing says that Garvey is comparatively unlettered and that this in a sense explains his denunciation of Dr. Du Bois who represents the cultured class of Americans of our group. In speaking of "Africa for Africans Movement" as propagated by Garvey the writer says, "The idea is apparently enveloping this city and the program of course is absurd, but its absurdity does not render it less fascinating to the ignorant colored people. The more advanced thinkers see the folly of his scheme but they are powerless apparently to hamper its success." When the name of Dr. Du Bois was presented as a candidate for the "American Moses" the supporters of Garvey hooved his name and called for "His Majesty" Marcus Garvey. They whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Regardless of the opinions expressed by Mr. Downing, a survey of the principles embodied in the declaration compiled by the Garvey Movement indicates that these principles are basic in many respects covering the following points: A fair trial before the courts of justice; approval of plans for forming a free government of Africa; a condemnation of the nations who have exploited Africa; the final redemption of Africa for Africa.
