HINT MURDER MYSTERY IN SO. PARK AVE. STABBING DRINKS POISON TO ESCAPE SHAME SEEK DEATH TO AVOID OKLAHOMA CITY AN ARMED CAMP READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY ALL THE NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE Vol. 2.—No. 36 DRIN SEEK DEATH TO AVOID DISGRACE Arkansas Girl Attempts Suicide When Confronted With Serious Charge. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 1. Miss Willie C. Neal, a beautiful and talented young lady of this city, attempted suicide in the office of J. P. Wooten, U. S. District Attorney, Thursday afternoon, by drinking carbolic acid. Quick medical attention saved her life. Miss Neal was charged with writing obscene letters to a young lady in Texas whose name is not disclosed. These obscene letters are said to consist in giving the girl in Texas certain information which involves a well-known white man in Little Rock who had been attempting to force his attentions upon Miss Neal. Name . ept Secret The District Attorney's office has observed great secrecy in the matter of the name of the white man who is alleged to be the party concerned in the affair. It is known, however, that he is a member of a prominent family of this city, and on numerous occasions has endeavored to force his attentions upon the society of members of our race. Held on $300 Bond Miss Neal was detained at the District Attorney's office under $300 bond, which she promptly secured. She is said to come of an excellent family, and to be employed in the Mosaic Temple building as a stenographer. It is alleged by the federal officials that Miss Neal was endeavoring to raise sufficient funds to enter Howard University, Washington, D.C., and that she was contemplating some aid from the white man in question. This phase of the case could not be verified. SHOT THRU HEART BUT RETURNS FIRE WAYCROSS, Ga., Sept. I—Medical men here are discussing with much humor the incident of a member of the Waycross police, Walter Brakes, who is claimed to have been shot through the heart by Tom Smith, colored, but who continued to fire at the colored man after receiving this wound, which usually causes instantaneous death, with the result that the colored man is also near death in the city jail here. The shooting occurred in a colored hotel known as the Ford House on Reed street. The story goes that officers approached the place to make a raid and were greeted by a fusillade of bullets from the merrymakers there. Brakes is said to have been shot through the heart by the first bullet, but continued firing until he had wounded Tom Smith, colored. The presumption among our people here is that Brakes attacked Smith, wounding him and was then shot dead by the colored man. An interesting feature of the incident is the fact that although probably fatally wounded, Smith has not been placed in a hospital, but is confined on a cot in the city jail. ORGANIZE CO-OPERATIVE STORE GALVESTON, Texas, September 1.—A co-operative store capitalized at $5,000 has been perfected in 500 shares at $5 each, and all subscribed for, in this city. The institution is headed by the Rev. A. W. Williams, pres. W. B. Lewis, vice-president, and William Ellis and Charles Harris, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Organize Negro Colony in Arkansas "THE ALL THE NEWS Fred Douglas is Hanged in Texas DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 1—A colored man by the name of Frederick Douglas was hanged in the county jail here last Friday, for an alleged murder on July 5. About 200 Texans witnessed the execution. CUTTING FRAY VEILED IN MYSTERY Mrs. Minnie Gatewood, said to reside at 3223 So. Park Avenue was alleged to have cut some woman on last Monday night or early Tuesday morning, which lady is supposed to reside at 3223 South Park avenue. The name of the woman could not be learned. Occupants of both residences closed up like clams and denied any knowledge of the affair. No Record at the Station Effort was made to learn the identity of the "woman in the case" at the Cottage Grove avenue police station, but the arrest slips showed no such names. A call over the phone on 6223 Douglas brought a response from the lady who refused to give her name, but said the trouble was due to intimacy on the part of the unnamed woman with Mrs. Gatewood's husband. When pressed for the name of the woman in question, the lady hastily hung up the phone. Neighbors Protest Conduct of the House The neighbors in the community college that the house numbered 3223 has been visited by the police and is considered a "house of all nations" by reason of the various racial groups who are constantly entering the house at all hours of the night. It was said that on one visit by the police that a police officer was caught in the raid. No one seems to know what disposition was made of his case. NOTED DIVINE PASSES AWAY Thousands of people wended their way to Eheneze Baptist Church, Thirty-fifth street and Dearborn avenue, Monday last to pay the last tribute of respect to Rev. John T. Thomas, D. D., their pastor and friend, Dr. Thomas had passed the age 61 seventy-seven years, and for thirty-three years had pastored different Baptist churches in this city. He was no doubt one of the most prominent divines in the United States and played a conspicuous part in working against the I. W. W. propaganda in the tate war. Civil War Veteran When the Civil War threatened the destruction of the states in 1861-1865, the then John F. Thomas answered the call to arms and marched away amid the din of battle, serving in several engagements, once wounded, for the perpetuation of the Union. During the period of his ministry, Dr. Thomas was instrumental in building up several large churches and was regarded by his congregation as being a man of the highest Christian morality, and a positive force, who at all times labored for the advancement of the race. Dr. Thomas is survived by a wife, three daughters and a grandchild, who reside at 3629 Vernon avenue. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th, 1920 COLORED COP BAGS AUTO BANDIT Braves Bullets and Drags Robber to Station An automobile containing six bantels whizzed past the Forty-eighth street Police Station Monday morning, and the fact that the car bore no license gave rise to suspicion. Motorcycle Policemar Weich set out in pursuit. He was joined in the chase by Ralph Buglio, white, who will be remembered as the owner of the car used by the assassins Moss Enright. They both followed e bandits several blocks before coming in bullet range. Gun Play Begins Within 100 feet of the car, both bandits and cops let loose a rain of bullets, resulting in the wounding of both Weich and Buglio several times. At this juncture Officer John Wiggins (colored), hearing the firing, ran to the scene of action, upon which the occupants of the automobile leaped from their car and ran through an alley on La Salle street near Forty-first. Wiggins Gives Pursuit Officer Wiggins immediately gave chase and soon outdistanced one of the bandits, overtook him, and a terrific struggle ensued, with Wiggins as the aggressor and ultimate victor. Taking his victim to the station, he gave his name as Eugene Hutchinson, 19 years old, 155 West Thirty-eighth street. The prisoner refused to reveal the identity of his associates in the car, who escaped in the mlee. The two wounded men were taken to St. Bernard Hospital, where their wounds were dressed. MARCUS GARVEY IN DIVORCE SUIT NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 1,—Marcus Garvey, well known head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has filed suit for divorce from his wife, Amy Garvey, in the Supreme Court of the state of New York. Mr. Garvey alleges in his bill of complaint that his wife, Amy, evidenced indiscreet action with one Allen Cumberbach, of Panama City, and that she also indulges in intoxicating liquors, having a weakness for "looking upon the wine when it is red." BLACK TRAITOR WEARS REBEL UNIFORM ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 1.—Wearing a coat of Confederate gray, William Mack Lee, an alleged preacher, pulled off an Uncle Tom stunt before the House of Representatives here last Tuesday evening. Among other things he said that he was the only Negro minister in Virginia who voted the Democratic ticket, and that he had perfect faith in the white man of the South doing the right thing by his race. His statement that he was the only Negro in Virginia voting the Democratic ticket is indicative of the fact that he is the only Negro who has confidence in the Democratic party of the South doing the right thing by the race. Fortunately the Reverend is not to be taken seriously, because he represents that c lass of preachers whose ranks are fast being depleted. An explanation of his antics may be found in the fact that he is trying to sell a book to Southern whites. Brutality of Paris Lynching Comes to Light NEGROES NOT IN AC- CLEAR WEALTHY WO- CORD WITH GARVEY MAN OF MURDER (By N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) PARIS, Texas, September 1—An example of the unparalleled brutality and the truth of its commission in the case of Irwin and Herman Arthur, overseas war veterans, who were lynched in this city recently has just come to light. Herman and Irwin Arthur had answered the call of their country; returning to their homes, they settled down on a farm with their parents where they were working on halves for a man by the name of Hodges, white. It appears from information that Hodges sought to force them to work Saturdays all day and as a result of their refusal, went to their house, taking all the clothes of the mother and three sisters at (By Super Press Service.) NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 1.—The Garvey movement in this city has received a jolt from the Rev. E. Daniels, of the P. E. Church at 134th street and Seventh avenue. Dr. Daniels, before a large congregation last Sunday morning, denounced the Garvey plan for the redemption of Africa as being impossible, reactionary and born of mercenary motives. He said: "We are allowing ourselves to be misrepresented by the speakers of the Garvey movement. Both races by their joint effort have made this country the land of hope and our concern is not primarily with Africa, but with our development here in America." GOLDSBY HAS ESCAPED AGAIN VICKSBURG, Miss., Sept. I.-R. Goldsby, wealthy property owner of this city and Chicago, absolutely refuses to stay in prison, and for the second time has made his escape from the contact farm. It will be recalled that Goldsby was brought back from Chicago. III., during the month of July, where it was alleged that he had fled after having paid ex-Gov. Bilbo $2,000 to arrange for his freedom. From all indications there were other officials who did not get in on the deal, thereby putting into operation a movement which made Goldsby's return possible. Escapes Second Time Goldsbury was brought back and remisprisoned, but his detention in prison was of short duration. He was seemingly able to find other officials who were willing to give him another chance at freedom, providing he could furnish the wherewithal. This is what he is alleged to have done, and as a result, walked out of the state prison a free man. None of the officials claim to have any knowledge of how, when or where Goldsbury can be located. His wife, Mrs. Julia Goldsbury, has also disappeared. APPOINT COLORED FIRE FIGHTERS CAMDEN, N. J., Sept. 1.—The fire committee of the city council has appointed five colored men, one from each ward, as members of the fire department of this city. The new members will first serve at different engine houses in order that they may properly receive their instructions concerning the duties as members of the fire department. the point of a gun, and ordered them to return to work, giving as reasons for taking their clothes and belongings that they were in debt to him. Resent Insult to Mother and The stripping of their mother and sisters of their clothes was resented by the two brothers, who went into the house, returning with guns, killing both Hodges and his son. For this the two boys were burned and their bodies dragged through the streets followed by a regular pade of seventeen automobiles and a t, r loaded with white men. A number of the city officials took part in the parade. (Continued on page 6) CLEAR WEALTHY WO- MAN OF MURDER CHARGEF. CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 1. The case of Irvin Riggins, white for the murder of Frank W. Smith, April 2, was called for trial in the criminal court this week. Mrs. Lizzie Margaret Gerrard, jointly indicted with Riggins, obtained a second trial and was the state's principal witness in the effort to convict the white man. Mrs. Gerrard testified that Smith had come to her home about noon on the day of the killing to collect a sum of money from her which was to retire one of the notes she had executed in payment for a $20,000 farm. She further alleges that she and Smith were in the barnyard looking at some shoats, when Riggins appeared, who immediately entered argument with Smith, pushing him into the stable, and shooting him several times. Her failure to notify authorities of the homicide caused her indictment. The fight between Riggins and Smith was alleged to have been due to Smith's having seduced Riggins' daughter. CRISIS AGENT EXILED FROM SOUTH NOW IN CHICAGO Rev. E. R. Franklin, a former agent for the Crisis Magazine, who was arrested at Hatchula, Miss., for selling the "Crisis" and other Negro periodicals, is now living in Chicago at 4857 State street. Rev. Franklin was convicted on a charge of distributing seditious literature, and race hatred ran so high in the Mississippi town that he later moved to Chicago. N. A. A. C. P. to Appeal Case The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in a telegram to the WHIP Wednesday morning that the association has perfected plans to appeal the case of Rev. Franklin to test the validity of the law under which he was convicted. The appeal will be heard the first Monday in September at Lexington, Miss. Franklin Willing to Return In a statement made to the WHIP, the Rev. Franklin said that he was willing to undergo even the bitter irony of a trial before a Southern jury if it would result in the vindication of free speech with relation to the Negro question. It will be remembered that at the first trial of Rev. Franklin, he was not only intimidated, but his legal adviser was also threatened with death and beaten with sticks. EXTRA NEW YORK "SIDE LIGHTS" EIGHT PAGES PE SH ARMED LYNCHINGS OF THE WEEK. 5 SHERIFF TURNS OVER PRISONER DURHAM, N. C, Sept. I.-Sheriff C. B. Storey and six deputies, while in a lonely spot near Burlington and Graham, turned their prisoner. John Jeffries, over to a mob of 150 men, who shot him to death for alleged assault upon a 4-year-old white girl. The assault is said to have consisted of Jeffries' speaking to the little girl as he passed the house. She went back and told her mother that a strange colored man had spoken to her. The mother gave the alarm; the mob gathered. In the meantime Jeffries had been arrested by the sheriff, who apparently conveniently traveled the same path as the mob, and the victim was executed according to the "laws of the South." DOOMED FOR TIPPING HAT DANVILLE, Va., Sept. 1—A strange colored man passing through the city tipped his hat to two white ladies who reported the same to a mob of white men. The unknown visitor was promptly overtaken and lynched here last Thursday, according to the time-honored Southern custom. WHITES LYNCH EACH OTHER TULSA, Okla., Sept. 1,—Ton Owens, age 24, white, alleged slayer of Homer Nida, was taken from the jail here August 29, by a mob of 200 other whites and hanged to a billi board, 3 miles out of the city. More than thirty shots were fired into the victim. DUAL LYNCHING AT CORINTH CORINTH, Miss., Sept. 1—Blutcher Higgins and Dan Calcut, both colored, who escaped from the County chaingau, surrendered to the authorities last Friday and were immediately turned over to a mob and lynched in the jail yard. They were charged with attempting to escape while working out a fine of twenty-five dollars for disdemeanor. LYNCHED FOR MAKING HOME BREW OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 1—Claude Chandler, colored, was taken from the jail late last night by a masked mob of thirty men and taken to Council Grove, eight miles from, here and lynched. Chandler's alleged offense was resisting officers who were attempting to search his home for "home brew." THREE KILLED IN MOONSHINE RAID OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 1.-H. Adren, Stanley F. Waiss, white, Federal prohibition officers, and Charley Chandler, an alleged moonshiner, were killed here in an attempted raid by government officials upon Chandler's home. PRICE FIVE CENTS HAME CAMP RACE MASSES FOR DEFENSE OF HOMES Determined to Protect themselves if Authorities Refuse OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 1—The brutal murder of Claude Chandler by a mob of masked men has caused much excitement and threats of renewed trouble. Our people are in no humor to continue to tolerate the inhuman treatment which has been so long imposed upon them throughout this state. They realize that Claude Chandler, who was taken from the jail and murdered by a mob was not a moonshiner and that he was only defending his mong from unwarranted invasion by men who themselves were violating the law by entering his premises. Action of Officers Unjustified It is a notorious fact in this state that the men who administer the law, especially in the form of officers, deputies and marshals are of the most ignorant type of whites and predicate one's guilt or innocence upon his racial identity. Members of the colored race of this section have gone as far as they intend to go in tolerating this type of men and this class of treatment. Prepared to Protect Their Homes A number of citizens of Arcadia, which is twenty-five miles northeast of Oklahoma City, have made preparations to protect their homes and their families against the Oklahoma murderers. An overseas veteran who fought with the 366th Infantry in France said: "I spent eleven months under fire both in the Argonne and in front of Metz. Then I was fighting for the establishing of democracy for people of a to beeign country. I have no objection to going under fire again to aid and establish democracy in the land of my birth. Oklahoma has ceased to be a place where the safety of property and life can be counted on as a valuable asset." Organize for Self Defense Down at Edmunds, Okla., fifteen miles north of Oklahoma City, six motor cars have been prepared, loaded with men, armed for the protection of their families and homes, and are paid to be ready to leave at a moment's notice to help the weak-kneed authorities preserve order. In this city large groups of colored men, have gathered about three blocks from the business district of the city, which separates the residence districts of the two races, for the purpose of heading off any attempt on the part of hoodlum whites of burning their section of the city. The apparent abandonment of all indications of the intention by the legal authorities to preserve order makes it obligatory upon our people to protect themselves as best they can. The manly stand taken by colored men in this crisis has won the commendation and support of many of the fair-minded members of the white race here. Governor Orders Sheriffs Removed Gov. J. R. A. Robertson today sent a letter to the attorney general of the state directing that immediate steps be taken to remove the sheriff of Tulsa and Oklahoma counties from office. He charges that the sheriffs were in collusion with the mob and were wholly unfit by lack of physical courage as well as moral to discharge the duties of their offices. Their weak-kneed attitude forced no other conclusion but for Negroes to arm themselves for defense. CENTS BEST EDITORIALS = a UNDER THE LASH OF THEY 47Hy [7 ‘ye ies SoMa | Prt is — eK | Major Moton and The National Negro Business League invited the Goverror of Pennsylvania and the Mayor of Philadelphia to attend the sessions of the League. The gentlemen fortunately did not attend. Their absence was lamented in a wailing voice by the reactionary Major. Can you imagine the Hebrew Trade Society and The Irish Business League inviting individuals from out of the “group” to “honor” them with their presence? Instead of making their meeting a clearing house for ideas, it was made a button hole for honorary bouquets. Business activities of the National Business League should be conducted in private. Certain leaders, (?), of the “Old Guard” have seen fit to style the newer groups as “upstarts.” The “upstarts” are starting upwards and in their flight upward are bolting over the festering eyesores of leadership that have permitted the race to be compro- mised and sold out. The Black Star Line in their parades in New York City seem to have a predilection for red robes and gorgeous tassels and other ungainly paraphernalia. We believe that The Black Star Line People are doing a wonderful work. They are waking up Negroes to new opportunities and greater business latitudes, but why is it necessary to run the race of life laden with all the weight of insignia and dec- orations? Those houses on the boulevards whose front, side and back yards look like uncut hay fields. If that mortgage is heavy and the roomers don’t pay well, garden tools are still among the moderately cheap things. Invest in some grass cutters and make your front yard at least presentable, and not an eyesore to passerbys. There were many conventions of all descriptions during the month of August. Many of the leading business and political figures of the race seemed to prefer the “blind pigs” and games of chance to the business of the conventions. Old Man Isiah Montgomery, who prides himself on being Jeff Davis’ slave, is recognized by the leading Negroes as a criterion for the New Negro. Mount Bayou, Mississippi, is a good place for Mr. Montgomery. His day is over. By A. N. FIELDS The Republican party, as such in this state, 4s comprised of two. fac: tions. The citizens in the exercise of their political rights are justified in determining for themselves which of the two factions they desire to sup- port.

Scott's Nomination Assured James A, Scott, the only member of our group on the municipal ticket, is receiving strong support from the various ward organizations through- out the city. Attorney Scott is a member of the Chicago Bar, of recog- niged standing, and his ability to of- ficiate on the bench is doubted by none. His elevation to the bench will bring to our group recognition long merited by reason of the demon- strated ability of many of our lawyers. ELKS RE-ELECT McMECHEN KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 27—At the annual convention of the I. B. P. O. E. W,, which came to an end. here today, George W. McMechen, of Balti- more, Md., was re-elected Grand Ex- alted Ruler. Boston was named as the next place of meeting. POLLS; SOUTHERNERS NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 1— Anger was visible upon’ the faces of Southern Democrats here today as a delegation of colored women entered the state capitol and obtained permission to use the hall of representatives for a po- litical meeting. Onlookers remarked that the delegation today was only a forerunner of what may be expected all through the South as a result of the nineteenth amendment, to the federal, constitution. Those who opposed the! ratification of the amendment by this state are now taking the position that their efforts to save the South from Negro domination were foiled by the Fatification of the amendment giving madicare 30: Wotan, SIDE-LIGHTS OF GAY NEW YORK | In New York City, the metropolis of the United States, the wonder child lof civilization, strange and interest- ing conditions exist. More Jews live in New York City than inhabit the Holy Land. More Irishmen than in any other place except Dublin. More Greeks live in New York than live in Athens, More Italians are found in this great city than there are in Rame.

Over a hundred thousand way- ward souls were housed atid fed in that spot during the last year. A strong, healthy black map is_ porter for the bums. He serves coffee and rolls and cleans up after their restless sleep. We imagine this gentleman needs more rescue services than the bums themselves.

The waitress gave him a glass of ice water. He eyed it, felt it fondly, raised it above his head and then pressed it to his forehead as if he was performing some religious rite. When he uttered a deep sigh of satisfaction and it could be seen that the water in the glass that was cold just a minute before was. steaming, Nosey knew that the gentleman was not a member of some new “water worshiping” cult but was just an or dinary sufferer from the “day after the night before.” N the Thirty-fifth street car the O other night, Nosey was forced to stand as the rest of the seats were occupied, Two gentlemen boarded the car at Thirty-fifth and State streets and they continued their conversation after they had entered the car, One said to the other, “Do you know that they kriocked me off for $90.00 in that game?

Storming the Avenue. The Grand Quintard Miller's Broadway Gossip show is playing to crowded houses on their second week and the advance sale is enormous for the third week. The company is up-to-date in every way, properly costumed and staged. Don't tail to see this show. The Avenue "Canary Cottage," with Shelton Brooks, is drawing capacity houses as I predicted. Brooks is a real attraction himself and properly surrounded there is nothing left to be done in putting up a real show. The present show will remain for another week and the same company will play "Miss Nobody From Starland." week of September 6. The Monogram The Byrd-Ewing company are pre- pensating a well dressed playlet this week called "I. O. U." which is funny and full of good music.

The accompanist must possess three qualities—technic, temperament and agility. They must of necessity be combined or the accompanist cannot be of the first order. As stated in Part I, the accompanists of many theatrical companies must know that his technique be above reproach. Unless this is true, it is not possible for him to give entire satisfaction no matter how artistic his temperament nor how limitless his tact. If he is not able to be as good as possible and he is so fortunate as to be endowed with the natural blessing of temperament, he has a good start on the road to success in the arts. Tact—that rare quality so much to be desired in any line of endeavor—is a gift for which the accompanist should be most thankful. It is most necessary in this branch of the arts to have a good understanding of situations are sure to arise. What player has not been confronted with an irate artist who persists by sneers or slurs, if not indeed open accusation—in trying to shift the blame for faults to the accompanist, who is a faithful accompanist who as a matter of fact, has by careful work kept things from being even worse! It is not to be doubted that the capable accompanist possessed of the same tact is a truly blessing to any community. Service The field for music service is broader than many others—it is probably the broadest. No gathering is complete which does not have as a part of the program some form of music. It is important that the number of people derive real enjoyment and benefit from hearing good music than from anything else. Nor must we forget that good music is not limited to the heavier works of the orchestra; it will now and then appreciate sincerely the good rendition of melodious pleasing music. Be it remembered that a taste for heavy music must be acquired. The music that we acquire the use of melodious selections will place the musical mind in a receptive mood and facilitate the acquisition of an appreciation, for a heavy program. There is urgent need for music services which would give real service to the greatest number will think well on these things. Seasonal Guess. Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall. "Probably my wife wants more money for the seashore," he interpreted. "I'd like to know something about this man Jorkins, who is running for office." "Do you believe in woman's influence in politics?" "Do I? I can't go to the ward meeting today because I've got orders to stay home and take up the carpets." Porch Ascent. Knucker—Did he begin at the bottom of the ladder? Bocker—No, you might say he started at the bottom of the front steps. In sewing white silk blouses by machine, place a piece of white paper under the material. It this is done the silk doesn't pucker or draw up and the paper is easily removed when the work is finished.

Shelton Brooks is packing 'em at the Avenue with "Canary Cottage." A man by the name of Mr. Filkins is gathering a bunch of race performers to take on the road, and will leave this week. Ollie Burgoma and her girls are playing their last week at the Royal Garden Cabaret in Detroit, Mich. Lulu Coates and her Crackerjacks stopped the show at the Columbia Loop burlesque house last week. Harry Jenkins, former stage manager of the Grand, says the season will be a good one for actors. Jenkins is a close observer and anything he might predict has been carefully thought of. The actors still take Kelly's Drug Store corner for the hangout. You may see 'em all on this corner. Horace George, the clarinetist, is locally situated, playing in a large West Side cafe. He will take the vandelle stage shortly. Gertrude Sanders, the race's daintiest little soubrette, will co-star in "Town Top-piks" at the Grand, opening week of September 15. Rucker and Winifred are playing the Western vaudeville circuit and going great as usual. Bert Williams and George LeMaine with Dorothy Jardon, will co-star in Broadway Brevities, a big New York production by the Selznicks. Tom Le Morier, the actor, is all smiles these days. The club on East Thirty-second street is a grand success. Mr. Charles Moore is his partner in the venture. Ollie Powers, the robust tenor, certainly earns his salary in "Canary Cottage." George Smith, the drummer at the Avenue Theater, is a prosperous young real estate man. He is secretary of the Home Realty company with offices on East Thirty-ninth street. It looks as if there is going to be a musician's strike at the local houses, some dissatisfaction between managers and the local union being the cause. Tate's Vendome Orchestra is one of the best in the city. The boys are all youngsters and really do their stuff. Race Publishers Entertain Musicians The National Association of Negro Musicians recently met in the assembly of St. Phillip's church in New York City. Prominent among those in attendance were Clarence Cameron, Nora Douglass Holt, Carl Diton, R Nahuelman Batt, W. C. Handy, Kemper Harreld, Alice Simmons, Helen Hagan and many others of national reputation. Papers were read and musical topics discussed. All the old officers were re-elected. The delegates and visitors to the convention were entertained by Page & Handy Music Company, the large Broadway race music publishers with an automobile sightseeing trip through the city and an outing to Coney Island. About sixty were in the party and all reported an enjoyable trip. "Miss Nobody From Starland" 8th REGIMENT NOTES. At a recent meeting of the Sangamon Post of the American Legion, Colonel Otis B.

"Miss Nobody from Starland," the Hough & Adams Princess theater hit, will be the attraction at the Avenue Theater for the two weeks beginning Monday night, September 6. It is the story of a father and son who are at outs from the beginning, at daggers points at the end, both fell in love with the same woman and both admire the same girls. The scene is laid on board the Aquitania. All passengers on board have become thoroughly acquainted with each other and as the day draws near for the landing on home soil a stowaway is discovered in the person of Nina, an Egyptian princess. The captain is about to send her to the authorities, but she is saved by Preston Haliday, the son of Haliday, the hair restorer maker, Haliday had fallen in love with a conviving grass widow who in reality is an actress who is smuggling some jewelry into the country. She persuades Haliday to back a show for her which her brother has written. In the second act we are shown the show in the making, where the audience is led into the back stage secrets and is shown how numbers are staged and produced and how little scenes are built and developed. The show abounds in comedy all through and in the last scene of the third act Mr. Brooks will introduce one of the best tableaus ever staged. A real treat is promised in this ensemble number and an innovation in staging. There are 21 musical numbers and the costumes will even surpass those seen in the first production, "Canary Cottage," which has been playing to capacity and which closes here on Sunday night. Y. M. C. A. NEWS The members and a large number of friends of the Progressive Choral Society of which Prof. J Wesley Jones is Director, gathered in the Auditorium on last Friday evening and enjoyed themselves immensely.

The galaxy of stars assembled by the Panama Amusement Company has been welded into a unit which functions as perfectly collectively as do its members individually in their respective stellar roles. From all indications, judged by both the box office receipts and the lobby gossip, both the theatergoers and management are well pleased. Mr. Louis Weinberg, president of the Panama Amusement Company, stated that he has been vindicated in his belief that Southside theatergoers want and appreciate the best there is to be had on the stage. COMMUNITY NOTES COMMUNITY SERVICE OF CHICAGO Help improve the community by taking out a membership in Community Service.

AVENUE 31st St. and 2 WE ```markdown ``` HEALTH HINTS. By Dr. Wm. A. Foulks To proceed inalienably upon the premise that disease can be removed by surgical measures is pretext enough for the surgeon to find a reason for an operation in any case which comes under his observation. But it would be well for each one to bear in mind that disease can no more be cured by cutting it out than it can by medica- the surgeon to find a reason for an operation in any case which comes under his observation. But it would be well for each one to bear in mind that disease can no more be cured by cutting it out than it can by medication. Fact is, no disease can be removed by cutting. We might succeed in removing infected foci with beneficent effect; but when it is realized that few diseases remain localized it won't be hard to see how futile the attempt at a mutilation will be when the whole has undergone contamination. While Modern Surgery has been a Godsend to many, it must be admitted that there are cases where it would have been better for the patient to have left it out entirely. We have not taken the Biblical exhortation "If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out, or if thy right hand offend thee cut it off" literally for in a little while most of us would be handless or eyeless. Nevertheless, there are times when it is imperative that surgical measures be resorted to and temporizing under positive indications generally ends disastrously. Do not try to run to the operating table for every little thing. The potential forces which conceived, fashioned and projected us into the world are still at work within and without and are working for our benefit incessantly. There is a perpetual disintegration and regeneration of the body going on for the re-establishment or maintenance of the health, which is but our natural condition, and this process is being done subconciously. Under untoward conditions we get destruction; under favorable conditions or natural circumstances we get construction. The destructive process is more rapid than the constructive, therefore disease cannot be cured over night. We take too much of the credit for the curing of disease, when but for the working and activities of the vital forces all our efforts would be in vain. All healing comes from within. We approximate the edges of a lacerated wound, afford protection from infection from without but nature does the healing. We place in fixation the ends of a fractured bone and fix with suitable appliance, but who can tell by what means the bone tissues are brought to the site of the injury and with what skill the parts are cemented and welded together? We stand in the presence of great mysteries, and vast as we think our knowledge is, it is but a drop of water from a bucket full compared to all the wonders within and around us which are inconceivable to our finite Safety and Sanity. "We had a safe and sane Fourth of July, didn't we?" inquired the aggressive person. "I dunno," answered the diffident man. "After listening to some of the unsafe and insane oratory I heard, I would have been willing to compromise an ordinary fireworks." Calculation. "Don't worry about the police finding out about this prize fight. I've pulled off nine without their getting a clue." "Yes, but you must remember ten mills make one scent."

THE WORLD OF SPORTS CIRCUIT TEAMS DRAW AM. GIANTS DOWN WELL IN EAST CHI-LEAGUERS CIRCUIT TEAMS DRAW AM. GIANTS DOWN WELL IN EAST CHI-LEAGUERS The Chicago Giants have just returned from the East, where they played to large crowds at all points touched. They won a fair percentage of their games, doing at least as good as the famous Bacharachs did in the West. The Chicagoans pulled one of the real big Eastern crowds at Brookline, the returns giving the West an edge, all things considered, as Taylor's A. B. C.'s are picked to make the Eastern trip and the Cuban Stars may follow, with the American Giants going later if conditions warrant it. The Cubans will make a stand at Chicago Sunday and Labor Day, their opponents being the Dayton Marcos. The American Giants go to Detroit for the Sunday and holiday, that being their first appearance at Fordville, and their first shot of the season at Blount's Wolverine pets. The Blountites are the object of fire of all the strong teams in the circuit right now, and all eyes are on the results of the games, as the Stars may be dislodged from the position just behind the Foster team. The Fosterites are the ones that will be in a position to start 'em down the chute. The Stars got away on their trip in bad times, being but a few games removed from third and fourth place, fighting such scrappers as the St. Louis Giants and K. C. Monarchs on hostile territory and jumping house with not a moment's rest, then being pounced upon by the formidable Foster team, it would not occasion great surprise if the going proves a serious test for the ability of the Stars to hold on to the coveted position of second place. The Cuban Stars and Diacton Marcos will play at Scholring Park Sunday and Labor Day, and the series will be the last appearance of the two teams in Chicago this season. Both teams have made giant strides toward the top in their last few weeks of play, the former putting it on some of the strongest teams here of late, and the latter winning a series over such clubs as the K.C. Monarchs and others. Following them to Scholring Park comes the Detroit Stars and other big cards such as the A.B.C.'s and the best of the Chicago and Industrial League clubs.

Cubans in Last Show CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—The third game of the series between the Rogers Parks of the Chicago League and Foster's Giants went to the dark boys. Tom Williams releasing one of his best pitching stunts to make sure the victory. Laferty, who only allowed the circuit champs tour hits in his last effort, was but a whit more liberal this time, the Giants tabbing but five. However, the five were enough, as the Circuits wielded their tomahawks in unison, their efforts netting them five counters. Torrentti horned in with a homer with one on in the third while Wee Bobby Williams cleared the hassocks of their burden of two in the second, when he laced out a three-sacker, and then stole home for a marker himself. Tom Williams fanned eleven of the leaguers, and with the exception of the last two, at no time did more than three men face him per innning. Laferty performed the same feat the last time out, and the Champs have acquired but fourteen hits, all told, in the series of three. The Leaguers acquired but four hits off Tom Johnson the last time and beat him 1-0. They touched T. Williams up for but three in their first game and won. 4-2. Thirteen is their sum total of hits; they have scored six runs against seven for the Giants. Two more games of the series will be played before the season ends, and they will determine the Circuit Leader's status as against the best in the Chicago League. The score. R. H. PO.

Last season Johnson tied the world's record for games played by a Giant in a season. Tom faced all the teams in the new circuit with the exception of the Detroit Stars, and he has not suffered a single defeat. He has also served as a Lieutenant with the 365th, and since his return he has been one of the most consistent slainmen on the roster of the local champion. TORRENTI GETS HOMER FT. WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 1—Rube Foster's American Giants wound up their stay in Fort Wayne in brilliant style at League Park when they took the measure of the Lincoln Lifes to the tune of 8 to 1.

STARS COP SECOND The Monarchs were nosed out in a hurling duel between John Donaldson and Gatewood in the second game of the series with Detroit at Association Park, the visitors stowing away a 3 to 2 victory before a crowd of 8,000. For seven rounds, Gatewood, the Detroit hurling ace, held the Mendez crowd scoreless, yielding only three scattered hits. In the eighth however, the Monarchs staged an attack which netted them a pair of runs, but they lacked the punch to collect the needed tally. Holland, who replaced Gatewood on the mound in the eighth, pitched steady ball. Donaldson pitched great ball up until the sixth frame when the visitors clouted out a part of healthy base knocks which netted them as many runs. Another counter was added in the seventh, which clinched the victory for the Stars. ONE OF OUR UNITS MONARCHS LOSE 3RD TO STARS Detroit Stars got to Crawford of the Kansas City Monarchs, in the first inning of their game at Mack Park Tuesday afternoon, and again in the sixth inning, sending in enough tallies to win 6 to 5. Each team started things in the opening session, the visitors counting twice on a single and two doubles while the Stars on four hits and a homer counted four times. Ray's triple in the seventh followed by Crawford's homer sent in two more runs for the Monarchs.

They were arrested at a house at 724 Third St., where more than 700 cases of Canadian rye and Scotch whiskey were obtained. STRANGE JUSTICE IN TEXAS HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 31.—An interesting case came up for trial Saturday last before Judge Lewis, presiding over the County Court, where Jack Ramsey, white, manager for the Federal Clothing Store, had assaulted Mrs. Rosa Mack, a highly respectable lady residing at 1815 Capitol avenue. It was brought out in the testimony that Ramsey, while one of his men held both of Mrs. Mack's arms, struck her a severe blow over the head with a brick. Dr. C. M. Nichols testified to treating the wound and to the cut having been seven inches long. After all of the evidence had been heard, this man Lewis disowned the bench by his biased and prejudicial decision discharged the white man, saying there had been no evidence of crime presented to the court. Such Decisions Breed Anarchy It was freely admitted by several responsible white people that the decision rendered by Lewis was so asinine and vile in its purport that it held the very essence of anarchism. Such decisions have caused thousands of colored people to leave the South and will be the cause of thousands more.

BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 23—The room of the Governor's Council at the State House was filled by colored remonstrants today against the exclusion of Company L from the new National Guard of Massachusetts at the hearing before Governor Calvin Coolidge secured by the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League.

OVERSEA VET PROVES HERO IN SOUTH ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 1.—Domning his overseas gas mask, Alex Wilder, a returned soldier from the world war, descended into a gas impregnated well on the farm of W. A. Smith (white) near here, and succeeded in bringing to the surface two white men who were unconscious at the foot of the well. The two men had descended into the well after a dynamite charge had been fired, and before the gas had cleared away. Both fell unconscious at the bottom. Remembering his army training Wilder, who had survived many gas attacks in France, rushed to his home, and seizing his mask, returned to the well and rescued the two victims. A fund has been started in this city among both white and colored citizens as a token of appreciation of the heroism displayed. It's In The Whip!

Rellield Snrie LWT I ae THE NEGRO By Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Reprint from Chicago American) Out of the wilderness, out of the night Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light; Beaten by lashes and bound by chains, A beast of burden with soul and brains, He has come thro’ sorrow and need and woe, And the cry of his heart is to know, to know. You took his freedom and gave it again, But grudged as you gave it, ye white-faced men. Not all of freedom is being free, And a dangerous plaything is liberty For untaught children. In vain do you say, “We gave what he asked for—place and pay And right of franchise.” All wrong, all wrong. He was but a child to be led along By the hand of Love. Has he felt its touch? Nay, you gave unwisely and gave too much, Bat you gave not the things that his groping mind ‘Was reaching up in the dark to find— They were Love and Knowledge. Oh, infinite Must be the patience that hopes to right The wrongs that are heavy with age and brought To the levels of virtues by mortal thought, And greater than patience must be the trust In the ultimate outcome of what is just, And in and under and through and above Must weave the warp of purpose—love. Red with anguish his way has been, This suffering brother of dusky skin. For centuries fettered and bound to earth, Slow his unfolding to freedom’s birth. Siow his rising from burden and ban To fill the stature of normal man. You must give him his wings ere you tell him to fly, You must set the example and bid him try. Let the white man pay for the white man’s crime— Let him work in patience and bide God's time. Out of the wilderness, out of the night Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light. He has come through the valley. of great despair— He has borne what no white man ever can bear. He has come through sorrow and pain and woe, And the ery of his heart is to know, to know.

Schwar tz, "Tattor ' 3732 South State Street THE SQUARE DEALER Established 1906 The Political World ATTORNEY GEN. BRUNDAGE SPEECH DELIVERED BY HON. ON LAW AND ORDER MARTIN B. MADDEN It is natural in the stress of Political Campaigns, to pause at times and take stock as the conduct of those who are seeking or are recommending the suitability through their suffrage. Atty. Gen. Edward J. Brindage for the past four years has held the position of the foremost law officer of the state, and has been a machinery having to do with the affairs of the state. HE has been indorsed by the state legislature and has been for the efficient conduct of his office. He has sought as a public official to maintain a high and commendable attitude in dealing with the citizens affecting the interest of the citizens of the state. Resident of Cook County. Mr. Brundage has spent the greater part of his life in this city and has held numerous positions of trust and confidence and is favorably known for fair and impartial attitude towards employees and interests of our group. As Attorney General, he employed several members of our race, all of whom are holding positions of most commendable character. Col. Franklin A. Denham has held many years been a postmaster and political friend of General and is at present one of the Assistant Attorney Generals in his office, handling affairs of great moment and respon- Attitude on Race Riot. During the late interracial disturbance in thievery no public official took a firm stand for law and order than Mr. Brandon. In an address delivered before the Chicago Association of Commerce, during the week of the trial, Mr. Brandon said that the greatness of a nation is indicated YEW-08 by the restless and impartiality with which its laws are administered. He argued that no enforcement of the law breaches in the minds of the weak laws and laws are unjustly enforced in other thirteen countries for Racial prejudices is one for which many remedies are prescribed. Segregation has been advocated as a remedy, but if there is a need to correct it in the United States, there can be no lawful restriction between citizens possessing equal political rights. The final and lasting cure for segregation is a sense between both white and black." The real mete of his speech brought fondly to the front the facts that true liberty cannot be achieved without the Attorney General is a candidate for reelection and as such deserves the support of all citizens regardless of political factions— MC KINLEY DECLARES FOR EQUAL RIGHTS The Hon. William B. McKinley, candidate for United States Senator on the regular Republican ticket, is gradually winning his way into the graces of the voters of Illinois. It is said that a downstate newspaper in making comment upon this great lawmaker, declared that if his message for equal justice for all could be put properly before all of the voters, McKinley would be elected with the greatest plurality ever accredited to any candidate in the political history of Illinois. Friend to the Workingman Having risen from a condition of poverty himself, Congressman McKinley not only presents a sympathetic attitude to those that earn their living by the sweat of their brow, but his past public career reflects wisdom and close touch with working conditions as shown by the laws sponsored and enacted through his influence. He is opposed to all kinds of slavery—wage slavery no exception. He is the head of one of the greatest interurban traction companies in the United States. His fairness towards his employees and his willingness to give them an honest day's pay for an honest day's work accounts for this corporation's immunity from labor trouble. A Lincoln to the Colored People Congressman McKinley has always taken an especial interest in colored people. He has spent thousands of dollars in aiding ambitions young colored men to receive higher education. There never has been a time in his official career when approached by a worthy cause by colored people that he has failed to contribute liberally. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, national committeeman of the Republican party, says that McKinley was one of the few Republican Senators that was able to interest in the abolition of Wilson's "Jim Crowism" in the federal departments at Washington. There are thousands of other things that he has done which have demonstrated his belief in the "square deal" for all men. If they were known to the public at large he could easily be called the Abraham Lincoln of the twentieth century.—Advt. Harvey Saunders Drug Company UNION BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. J. A. Royall preached an excellent sermon Sunday morning which was enjoyed by a large congregation. Sunday evening Rev. Bell of New Orleans sang Tuesday evening the pupils of Miss Marjorie Lewis appeared in musical recital at the church caretaker's room the result of careful training which provided credit to themselves and their instructor.

Royal and a delegation from the University of Texas attended 7 to attend the National Baptist Convention. Postmaster General Burleson's edict against the participation of postal employees and their families and relatives in politics is the most autocratic announcement ever issued by a Government official. It savors of the good old days in Russia when the orders of the Czar were supreme. When did the Postmaster General become clothed with the power to restrict the right of franchise among our citizens Does he assume that because a man is employed in the postal service that therefore his father and mother and brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts and cousins are under the Postmaster General's autocratic and despotic rule? Does Mr. Burleson assume to say that he is clothed with authority to direct the civic activities of all who may be related to the postal employees of the country? Where does he get such authority? Is not Mr. Burleson assuming a great deal? Does he think such an order will be accepted complacently by the American people? The people should resent such impudence and will. The time has not yet come when the American people will submit to such despotism either from the Postmaster General or anyone else. The Government is still in the hands of the people, notwithstanding repeated attempts of the Executive Branch to prevent them from exercising their Constitutional rights. Let us hope that these rights will be so exercised at the coming election as thereafter to give us the blessings of a government of Laws and not of dictators—Ady. MORRIS LEWIS FOR LEGISLATURE Among the many candidates for legislature from the Third District, none stands higher in the life of the community than Morris Lewis, who has been named on the regular Republican ticket as the running mate of Adelbert Roberts, backed by the Thompson organization, for the lower house at Springfield. Mr. Lewis was born in Chicago in 1875 and is a product of the public schools of this city. He received his special business training and has made his way through a life of usefulness from an unaided boy to a substantial property owner and a man of family. During his career in this city he has been associated in positions of trust and confidence for such people as Lorenzo L. Burke (white), Lutler Laffin Mills, and his present employer Hon. Ferdinand W. Peck. Attended Paris Commission Mr. Lewis was one of the young men selected by Mr. Peck to accompany the commission to Paris, France, in 1900 PETER J. in which position, as secretary, he demonstrated remarkable ability and became a foremost figure in the transaction of the business of the commission. While abroad, he had the opportunity of unusual education and vision by visiting most of the important European capitals and coming in immediate touch with their social and economic life. Retains His Position After the close of the work of the Paris Commission, Mr. Peck retained the services of Mr. Lewis and still regards him as one of the most responsible attaches of his business connections. He has been connected with this firm for twenty-two years. Mr. Lewis is a member of the A. M. E. Church, the Appomatox Club, Chairman of the Advisory Committee of the South. Side Division of Community Service, and holds prominent rank in a number of secret orders. For fifteen years he has been secretary of the Second Ward Republican organization, and is also secretary and one of the founders of the famous People's Movement. Mr. Lewis is against anything which favors of segregation, and believes that every man should have a man's chance, regardless of race or nationality. He asks that the voters who believe in the principles of Mayor William Hale Thompson will demonstrate it by putting an X in front of his name in the September primaries.—Advt. ALWAYS OPEN Retains His Position Drug Magnate Opens Another Store Drug Magnate Opens Another Store That the Harvey Saunders Drug Company is keeping faith with all promises is evidenced by the opening of what is considered the most modern and beautiful drug store on the South Side, at Fifty-first and State streets, the third store of a chain of stores which will eventually cover the city. Before the doors were open to the public over $10,000 was spent to make this store a thing of beauty and a place of real efficient service. The cut rate feature of the Harvey Saunders stores has made it necessary for the company to put over $5,000 worth of stock which is fresh and which will keep fresh as it has been shown that the other stores of the company have been able with their low prices to keep the entire stock fresh at all times. The store at Fifty-first and State streets has four clerks and two registered pharmacists who make it possible to render expert and efficient service and the ice cream and soda water department, replete in every detail of equipment, almost induces every customer to tarry in the pleasant atmosphere and partake of light refreshments. Mr. Harvey Saunders, to whom the greatest credit is due for accomplishing what was termed impossible when he started out to have a chain of drug stores, personally supervises each store.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION TIVE 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. Worthless Conventions At a time when the foundations of sound, sane business endeavor should be laid, when the combined brains, money and experience of the race should be pooled, the "black capitalists" and small town demagogues assembled, played politics and poker, elected officers and departed for their respective homes with "Inspiration." The President of The National Negro Business League stated That The Business League (which is twenty-one years old and is the only one that Negroes can boast of) is for INSPIRATION. The method by which this INSPIRATION was gathered was from academic papers and speeches on the history and development of peanut growing, broom making, insurance selling, advertising and other industries which put the large majority of the audience to sleep with monotony and fatigue. If any inspiration was gathered by those who attended this convention it was the inspiration to overhaul this reactionary organization and make it a league of substantial service, material benefit and economic leverage. No Colored Daily The question has been raised why 12,000,000 colored Americans have no daily publication of consequence in the United States. The argument in favor of this worthy enterprise is that the Poles, Lithuanians, Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Hungarians, Greeks and Germans can boast of numerous publications that are released daily. These people religiously support and read their papers. They swear by them and are swayed economically, politically, morally and mentally by the printed words in their columns. WHY DON'T NEGROES DEMAND AND CREATE ONE FOR THEMSELVES? The Negro is more than 99 percent English speaking. He thinks, reads and writes in English. The foreigner as a rule THINKS in the tongue of the mother land even though he may read and write English fluently. They retain for the most part a "foreign psychology" which the foreign daily in many respects fosters. The Negro, the "marrow of tradition," notwithstanding has the American psychology, that is, the white man's psychology which means that the Negro is inferior and is a tenant in America by sufferance only. The Negro has no distinctive psychology of his own. The Negro, weekly publications are forcing him to think independently and to awake within his apathetic soul the old racial consciousness that traced the features upon the face of the immortal Sphinx. The Negro weeklies are preaching race unity in politics, business and morality. When the Negro begins to think separately and independently of the native white man, he will demand a separate and distinct philosophy, news matter and industry. It is incumbent upon the weeklies to break the ground for the dailies. The task can be accomplished in a comparatively short time if honest and intelligent editors feed the brain of the famished colored Americans. Those Black And Tan Cabarets The Chicago Tribune is carrying a column in which they print the garnered opinions of persons selected at random on various ques- tions. Their latest question propounded was "Should White and Colored Mix in Cabarets?" The "Inquiring Reporter" interviewed two colored gentlemen employed in the modest capacity of elevator starters. It seems unfair to the reading public to be swayed by opinions of those who are compelled to be proscribed both mentally and racially. The opinions on questions like this should be gathered from those who are mentally unfettered and are capable of intelligent analysis of fact. The white persons interviewed on this same subject were a stenographer, a deputy marshal and a policeman. The social problems of the day must be settled by master minds of society. The masses are followers and not leaders. The opinions of the masses will be received thru transmission from the classes. The problem (?) of race relations is of wide and lucrative importance. The issue of cabaret mixing is an abstract incident of the concrete issue. Is the Negro socially fit? Let the Tribune's reporters consult with anthropologists, economists and historians. Let the elevator starters explain the flight of their cars. Getting Ahead Versus Getting By The peoples of the world today can fitly be divided into two classes—those that are interested in "getting ahead," and those who are satisfied merely "to get by." The psychology of these two groups are at direct antipodes. The people who are determined to better the condition of society and pay the price whatever it be—even martyrdom, belong to the first class. Not only are they interested in bringing about the greatest good for the greatest number, but they are scrupulous about the methods used in bringing this benefaction to society. It was this group of our common ancestry which weary-worn of walking upon their all fours, stood upon their hind legs with great difficulty and with great persistence and thus gave us the heritage of our present means of locomotion. It was this same spirit of "getting ahead" that made these common ancestors tire of sitting upon their hind legs waiting for generous Mother Nature to supply them with food, and the results of their activities gave to the human race the manufactured instrument. All thru the history of the human race we find this class clearing the forest of doubt and the forests of reality, combating the disease of the mind and the decay of the body, unraveling the mysteries of nature and spinning the tangled ends into the glorious fabric advancing civilization, and their brilliant trail still glows like the aurora borealis in the heavens of man's achievements. On the other hand countless hosts of potential moral and intellectual giants, who have succumbed to the siren music of the "line of the least resistance" have choked with their shrivelled souls the path over which struggling humanity rushes ever to its unknown but glowing destiny. These are the people who are contented with just merely "getting by." This group has never contributed anything to society but trouble—a thing which their very existence seems to create. Their perverted sense of values, lack of initiative, and warped souls which are ready to drift with the tide of events as long as their heads remain above the rushing tide of life, have tried to evade the very strife of life itself, dodging each issue, shunning the penalties imposed by natural and civil law and avoiding all responsibility either to society or self. These characteristics naturally have forced them to form the lowest strata of society and fill the ranks of the criminal and parasitical groups and there to be driven, buffeted and exploited by those who are interested in "getting ahead." We see these "slackers" or "slickers" in every walk of life. In politics, they are what is known as "shake down men," who tell all kinds of falsehoods and even barter away the good name of the race for a paltry sinecure or a small "hand out." In the academic world they are equally multitudinous; always ready to falsely advertise the race in order to fill their own empty pockets or to gain cheap notoriety. Socially, we have them by the scores. Men and women too lazy to get anything by virtue of intrinsic merit, but who resort to every sort of trickery, treason and prostitution that they might make a "front" and "get by." In the various industries they appear as the "clock watchers," shirking their work and waiting for the "boss" to turn his back that they might get some rest. This is an age more than any other in the history of man's onward and upward march when the call is for those who want to "get ahead" and help the race "get ahead." The race cannot tolerate in these crucial times, when its very destiny is hanging in the balance, those slinking and shirking individuals whose sole object is "getting by." The way to success and permanent advancement is inseparable from honest endeavor, terrific struggle and poignant sacrifice. To emasculate our race from the gripping chains that oppress and hinder, we must have one vast throng of those that are filled with the spirit of "getting ahead" and those who are among us whose chief object is "getting by" must be sloughed off as dead leaves so that the bright colors of the new verdure of "getting ahead" will grow with all freedom and all strength.
