"THE CHICAGOWHIP" STILL FIVE CENTS READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY RECKLESS USE OF COP'S GUN SPELLS DEATH FOR STRANGER Indiana Harbor Man Shot Dead In Clothing Store Trying To Buy Wife Winter Coat From information obtained from various sources the killing of Oscar Brown, 3609 Parrish Ave., Indiana Harbor, Monday morning at 10:20 o'clock in a clothing store at 3332 South State street, owned by L. Wolens (white), by Policeman John Shannon of the Third Precinct, was nothing more nor less than a cold-blooded murder. It appears that Wolen's store had been robbed earlier in the day, and he had called the Cottage Grove Station, asking that an officer be sent over to investigate the robbery. In response to this request, the commanding officer of that station detailed Policeman John Shannon (white) to investigate the robbery.

The prospective purchaser, Oscar Brown, not under POLITICAL FIGHT BARES INHUMAN CRUELTIES POLITICAL FIGHT BARES INHUMAN CRUELTIES By Wesley G. Gilbert NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 22—The recent tight waged in this city by the Orleans Democratic Association (white) to break up "ring rule" here was the bitterest in history of the present City, and in the course of the struggle to free this city from corrupt politics, horrifying brutalities were brought to light which affect directly our people here. Speaking on this point, State Senator Craven referred to the conditions which brought about the riot on March 1 in Parish prison. Herded Like Pigs Among other things Senator Craven said: "The colored prisoners revolted because a colored woman in a delicate condition had been refused medical aid, and because another colored woman who tried to aid her was struck by a deputy. Arming themselves with sticks and mops, the prisoners made a determined bid for freedom. The jailers secured riot guns and a colored boy by the name of Payne was shot to death. "Then, cowed and broken, the prisoners were herded back into their cells. "Then for five days there was enacted behind those prison walls a scene which beggars description: Herded like pigs, but not half so well fed, half clothed, flogged out of mutiny by the deputies, the prisoners presented a pitiful spectacle. For five days they were allowed neither fresh air or fresh water. For five days men and women wallowed in their own dirt and filth. For five days men tore and clawed at the iron bars of their cages. For five days the air was rent with defiant curses, with frightful oaths, with terrified screams and screeches, some prisoners huddled six in a cell, cramped and crippled in their close quarters. For five days no prisoners washed, bathed on shaved; men walked their cells, the pasty pallor of close confinement showing through their dirty beards women law as though dead, their mated hair smeared and stained with tears of sleepless nights." This exposure by Senator, Craven helped bring about the defeat of Mayor Behrman's "ring" at the polls, and it is hoped and believed by many that our race will fare better at the hands of the incoming administration. "THE ALL THE NEWS standing what it all meant, was shot down before he had an opportunity to comply with the policeman's command. Wolen, who operates the store, stated that Brown asked to be shown some ladies' cloaks. This is borne out by a statement of Mrs. Beatrice Brown, the wife of the murdered man, who says her husband came to the city that morning for the purpose of buying her a winter coat. Wolen himself has stated to several people that the shooting of Brown by the officer was a deliberate and cold-hearted act, not to hear the officer tell Brown three times to hold up his hands, but instead that the officer shot immediately after approaching Brown, and was so close to him at the time of the shooting that the powder burned his clothes. Place of Inquest Changed The inquest over Brown's body, which was originally set for the undertaking establishment of King & Hill, at 36th and State streets, was changed to a more suitable environment for the police, namely, the Cottage Grove station, where it is alleged that a carefully picked coroner's jury was selected. The case is called and continued until September 30. It is rumored that Wolen is being carefully schooled for his telemetry, more the coroner's jury. Determine for the dead coroner's relatives, however, the case will be heard by Deputy Coroner Kennedy, who is noted for his fair and impartial conduct as a public official. (Continued on page 6) Kokomo Woman Segregated: Brings Suit KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 22—Mrs. Lois Grace, colored, of this city, to day filed suit in the Howard Court against Ernest Whittle, proprietor of the Colonial n. picture theatre, for violation of the Indiana civil rights law. The plaintiff represents that on the evening of Sept. 4 she "went to the dependant's theatre with a desire to attend and see, observe and enjoy his picture show; that she paid fifteen cents for a ticket at the theatre office, entered the theatre, and was being shown to a seat by an usher, when the plaintiff in a rude, insolent, and angry manner, accosted her, seized her by the arm, and informed her that she could not occupy such seat." Mrs. Grace avers that she is colored, and for this reason was excluded from the theatre. The statute in this state is very clear on the point in question, and there is little doubt that Mrs. Grace will recover judgment in her suit, and the customary $100.00 penalty imposed for violation of the statute. In view of the clearness of the law in this state on the question of segregation, it is wondered whether Whitley preferred to pay the $100 penalty to setting a precedent for admitting colored people to the place. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th, 1920 REAL ESTATE BRO KER ALSO DEALER INDIAMONDRINGS Society Woman Spurned, Asks Court to Return Her Diamonds At Harrison Street Police Court Tuesday morning a case was called and continued to September 28th in involving a Mrs. Ida Belle Isaacs, said to be a married lady, and Mr. Henry Summers, a real estate operator, located in the Avenue building, Mrs Isaacs charges Mr. Summers with larceny by bailer of a diamond ring. Rumors are allot to the effect that Summers, who it is said, is engaged to be married, has been in possession of the ring for over eighteen months. It is also alleged that the recent announcement of Summers' engagement is what really hastened the request for the return of the ring. Society gossipers who have known the popular young business man because of his presence at various social functions and calls, are awaiting with baited breath the bursting of this choice bit of scandal when the case comes to trial on September 28th. Says Negro Vote May Swing Election NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 22 Figures published today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, indicate that we vote of Negroes in Northern St. may elect the next President. "The Negro this year," says the Advancement Association, "will constitute the base of power or will approach closed, being the balance of power in 8 total states which have 165 votes in the electoral college." The states with their probable Negro vote, due to immigration and enfranchisement of women, are given as follows: Hinois 125,000 Indiana 45,000 Kentucky 150,000 Maryland 150,000 Michigan 25,000 New Jersey 75,000 New York 125,000 Ohio 100,000 In each one of these states the probable Negro vote is larger than the number of votes necessary to swing the State. Race Feels Strong Democratic Trend in Kansas WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 22.—The first Democratic headquarters ever organized in the State of Kansas, was opened Monday morning at 600 N. Main St., here. The headquarters are under the direct supervision of Dr. J. E. Farmer, a physician of this city, and a general campaign to enlist members of the colored race under the Democratic standard is being waged throughout the state from this headquarters. In an interview Dr. Farmer stated that the Republican party has a history of broken promises, and stands on a par with the Democrats who have made none to break. The campaign has aroused much interest and already many influential and wealthy colored people have gone into the Democratic camp. Reject Fred Douglas From Hall of Fame NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 22.—Frederick Douglas, who was recently nominated for the "Hall of Fame" in New York University, has been rejected by the committee of one hundred whose duty it is to pass upon such nominees. Douglas' name was placed in nomination by Cleveland G. Allen, a Harlem newspaper man. The election takes place every five years, and according to the rules, a candidate must have been dead ten years or more, and must answer to the definition of "having been much talked about, chiefly in the good sense, or having accomplished some great achievement." LOVE NEST BROKEN UP BY COPS Deserted Husband Discovers Recalcitrant Wife With "Other Man" Mr. Eugene Lee, who resides at 1404 Western avenue, Little Rock Arkansas, wended his way to the city on Wednesday last on a sad mission. His coming was unheralded and unsung, but it was pathetic and tragic Early in the spring his wife, Mrs Mattie Lee, evinced a desire to visit Chicago and see something of the hustling and bustling town of which she had so often read. Mr. Lee decided that she was deserving of this trip by reason of her constant fidelity to her family of three children and himself. Makes Preparations for Visit Special preparations were made by the husband for this visit and accompanied by the children, good-bye, placing her aboard with the assurance and confidence at she would receive much needed Mrs. Macleay arrived in Chicago and became the guest of her husband's sister, Mrs. Laura White 3849 South State street. For eight weeks she received the hospitality and the courtesies of visiting friends at the residence of Mrs. White. At the expiration of which time she journeyed to her home and to the side of her husband. Magnetism Draws Her Back Three weeks from the date of her arrival home, Mrs. Lee, while her husband was at work, packed her trunk, taking everything that she wanted and her oldest boy of fourteen years, without the knowledge of her husband and returns to Chicago. When he came home from work he found her gone and also observed that a number of articles in which they held joint partnership, including his oldest son, had disappeared. After several days he learned of her whereabouts through an insurance agent whom she had instructed to transfer her policy to 2507 West Lake street. Follows Her to Chicago With this information Mr. Lee came to Chicago and through the aid of the Keystone Detective Agency, 129 Egst 31st street, his wife was located at the number mentioned above. A warrant was secured for the arrest of Mrs. Mattie Lee and James Johnson, with whom she was living under an assumed name. The couple was arrested Tuesday morning. When the officers arrived, James Johnson who is a night fireman at the Palmer House, was found in bed and Mrs Lee was in the kitchen preparing the breakfast. The husband secured his Since Jan. 1, 1920 33 American citizens have by their death at the hands of angry mobs paid the price of American inability to preserve order in the "Land of Liberty." 33 (By Equality News Service) HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 22.—Oscar Beasley, colored, who was indicted last Thursday for the murder of Sheriff Joe Snow, of Brazoria County, was taken from the jail the same afternoon and lynched by a mob of 300 "citizens." No attempt was made by the authorities to restrain the lynchers, many of whom, it is said, were members of the mob. A result of this latest lynching, members of the colored race are forsaking the county in large numbers. CRAZED BY ILLNESS SHOOTS AT WIFE; KILLS SELF Despondency Over Ill Health Ascribed as Reason for Suicide and Attempted Murder Mystery surrounds the suicide of Delbert Brown, age 43, 3845 Calumbet avenue, who on September 14 attempted to kill his wife, and missing his mark, turned the revolver upon himself, fired a bullet into his right ear, and died before medical aid could be secured. Mrs. Brown, his intended victim, could not be found, hence the cause which led to the suicide and attempted murder is still a matter of doubt and uncertainty. Neighbors Suspect Insanity In conversation with several people who reside in the immediate vicinity of the Brown home it was learned that Brown had been in poor health for some months prior to the tragedy, and it was thought that he was mentally deranged at the time of the shooting. A reporter for the WHIP visited the scene of the shooting in quest of more complete information, and found the residence closed to the public with shades closely drawn and he locks on the screen doors. He cried, however, that a friend of the family lived at 4852 Champlain avenue by the name of Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis could shed no light on the tragedy other than to comment statement that Brown's death state of mind was probably due to ill health. Rumored "Another Man" in the case From another source information was obtained that the name of a third party had crept into the tragedy. The matter was investigated and apparently no justification can be given for the naming of the party in question, hence his identity will not be disclosed in this story. If further investigation proves the correctness of this information a more elaborate story will be published in the next issue. Southern Preacher Says We Menace North MACON, Ga., Sept. 22. — "The North is in for a bad spell with the Negro problem," Dr. William Russell Owen, pastor of the First Baptist Church, declared yesterday upon his return to Macon, after a visit of a month to the North Carolina mountains and to Eastern cities. Dr. Owen declared that negroes have taken possession of some of the strips of the beach at Atlantic City, and that the North is losing its feeling of protection over the negro and has come to regard him with a grave hatred. "See Flaming Race Hate" The North is in for a bad spell with the negro mobble. I found on this page growing hatred between the races in the North than one ever Discovers here in the South. Negro cooks and maids in some cases are making as much as $25 a week. There is a growing intermarriage between the whites and blacks and a flaming race hatred. The whites are losing the tolerant spirit that looked upon the blacks as the wards of the Northern States to be protected. Now the question is the old question as old as Moses, of radical antipathy. Negroes at Atlantic City now have several sections of the most prominent parts of the beach for their own possession." WHISKEY STILL UNEARTHED Officers Ewing, Kilroy, Williams and Mulcahy of the Cottage Grove station, while seeting around discovered a whiskey still set up and ready for action on the second floor of a barn in the rear of 3204 Calumet avenue. Upon investigation it was learned that the outfit was the property of J. H. Lewis, a roomer at the home of Henry Dillard, 3204 Calumet avenue. son and will enter proceedings against his wife for divorce. Mrs. Mattie Lee, before her marriage, was a Miss Mattie Carson of Monroe, La., and is said to have a brother in this city James Carson, address unknown. 5CENTS PAY NO MORE r Riot Story FLAMING HEADLINES OF HEARST PAPER THROW CITY INTO TERROR Red Journalism Responsible For Injuries to many Citizens at Hands of Hoodlum Whites As the result of a street corner fight at 47th and Halsted streets at 7 o'clock Monday night, the Chicago Herald-Examiner overplayed the story in their mad frenzy to build up a large morning circulation, causing several innocent people to be severely injured, and almost precipitated a serious race-riot. The fight started Jan Thomas E. Barret, 1109 E.

Va., Sept. 22. —Tonano, a small town between here and Williamsburg, was the scene of a small race riot when white an- colored citizens staged a free-t-r-all fight as a result of a quarrel over some spoilt fish. It appears that a white man by the name of Cowles bought some fish from a colored man, and the fish later proved to be rotten. When the white man demanded his money back and was refused, the fight started. Several were seriously injured, but from latest re-ports, none were killed.

Crowd Pursues Them At this juncture a crowd of Hailstated street gangsters began to gather and the three robber men started to rattle. They were pursued by the throng, whom they succeeded in outdistancing, taking refuge in St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 45th and Wallace streets, where they were secreted away by the Rev. Thomas M. Burke, who was at that time performing some function of the church. Saved by Quick Action By this time several policemen had arrived upon the scene, and with drawn guns rescued the three men, removing them to a safer zone. Thirty minutes later Chief John J. Garrity had assembled hundreds of policemen in the affected area and order had been restored. "Herald-Examiner" Appears on Scene In the meantime the early morning edition of the "Herald-Examiner" began appearing on newsstands all over the city, carrying flaring red headlines wife of Samuel Hayes, 517 E. 35th St., who slew Thomas Barret after being insulted and knocked down. exaggerating the affair and picturing it as a wholesale race conflict, as a result of which bad blood developed in the rowdy elements all over the city, and eight colored men were severely beaten by crowds at different localities. This brutal, sinister, and asinine story, the reddest of red journalism, was the direct cause of all else that has happened save the murder of Barret himself. It is alleged in newspaper circles that the policy of the Hearst string of newspapers is being formulated and controlled by John Temple Graves, formerly editor and owner of the Atlanta News, of Atlanta, Ga. It will be recalled that the (Continued on page 6) --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP We told you so. We told you to imagine Roscoe Simmons, Bishop Parks or Major Motion going on a hunger strike as MacSwiney, the Irish patriot, is doing. We asked you to imagine it. Well, last week a well known "Leader" remarked that MacSwiney was getting food surreptitiously (on the sly). That is the way that the average Uncle Tom thinks in terms of pork chops, on the sly. The members of the New York legislature plan to fight those five socialists whom the people of that Commonwealth re-elected after they had been unseated. If those colored members of the New York legislature again repudiate the desires of the people whom they represent they should be tarred and feathered. We see where Chicago has sent an expert on Bombings to assist in the investigation of the Wall Street catastrophe. If Chicago has any "experts" on Bombings they certainly have not shown any of their ability here. Think of it—32 homes being shattered by bombs and not a single apprehension. A certain newspaper of the city of Chicago which is called the world's Greatest Weekly refers to members of our race who are not scrupulously neat and tidy as "Skunks." This manner of treating civic and personal untidiness and uncleanliness is both unbecoming the mouthpiece of the race and is certainly beneath the dignity of high class reformers. There are certain political "Leaders" in Chicago who claim that the time is not ripe for a colored congressman to represent them. The time apparently is ripe for them to sit in Jim Crow cars and to feast on the crumbs of American economics and politics. These Leaders are justifying their position by saying that it would be useless to attempt to elect a congressman without the support of their white Bosses. This is the Slave Psychology that has caused us to be branded as unfit and inferior. The Bishops are playing politics now. They are stump speaking, not for principles or measures but for money. They are hanging around the political offices and taking care to have their hands in any money melon that is to be cut. These "Ministers" would do well to attend to the politics of the church. We have heard that it pays well financially also. Give the rest of the world a chance, Bishops. Please. 2 The results of the Republican and Democratic primaries on Wednesday last, judging from the present returns, indicate a change of the political history of a number of prominent men. In the Republican primaries, the William Hale Thompson faction swept Cook County and nominated as well the Governor and State Treasurer. This success was obtained against the combined influence of the Daily News and Tribune and their cohorts of utilities and corporations. It appears from indications that it was a clear reflection of the people's allegiance to Mayor Thompson's views and principles of government. Tribune Has No Political Influence The last few elections in this city and county are indicative of the fact that The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Daily News are without influence as political mentors in their own locality. This is largely due to the fact that in their desire to destroy certain public officials they have gone beyond the boundaries of truth and have made irresponsible statements and are no longer regarded by the people as mediums of veracity. They have made inappropriate that whenever they take the lead in supporting a candidate for office it is a signal for the people to go the other way. Thompson Triumphs The Mayor not only carried Cook County, but his principles of government were accepted by the people of the State and since the campaign was fought out on the grounds of "Thompsonism versus Lowdenism," Thompsonism has become the dominant power, with Lowdenism becoming powerless. This is a clear indication that the people of Illinois have planted their faith in the Thompson idea of government and believe with him that the government should be run by the people and for the benefit of the people. Hoyne Walloped The primary battle between Mr. Hoyne and Mr. Igoe resulted in the defeat of "Mac." Mr. Hoyne's fearlessness as prosecutor was admired by many but he seemed to have forgotten that even public officials must have some friends and must remember that the office must be conducted for the benefit of the people regardless of race or religion. Chief Justice Robert E. Crowe, candidate of the Republican party was nominated for State's Attorney by an overwhelming majority and will be elected beyond any doubt in the November election. His record as Chief Justice of the Criminal Court as it affects us is commendable in every respect. He bears the stamp of painstaking, fearless and impartial public official. The Second Ward gave the Republican ticket over 11,000 majority, running far ahead of any other ward in the city. This was largely due to the effective work of Committeeman Edward H. Wright and his organization. Correction Mrs. Murray Walker, Columbus, O., has been in the city for some time as the guest of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bulah Jones, 4747 Langley avenue. Mrs. Jones recently graduated in the art of photography. She contemplates opening up a studio in this city in the near futures UNCLE "EPH". vices. We are all with special attention to veracity and truth and to spare no individual at the expense of public morality. In short, a public organ should proclaim the truth to the people in the "presence of the king" and to the king in the presence of the people in each all inake such statements as can be verified and supported by facts. All else makes a newspaper a "calamity bowler" and in the end serves no good purpose either for the king or the people. A newspaper which poses as the filtering medium of morality and advice between the people and the king and betrays the people at the expense of the king is unworthy either of the confidence of the people or the kings. On the other hand if the same institution betrays the king at the expense of the people it becomes a destructive institution to the detriment of the people. Thus it is, if a newspaper is to hold its place as the beacon light for civic purity and racial morality, striking with force and effect upon those things which serve to deter the progress of the race, community or the nation, it must justify its right to such a position by standing as an institution unpurchasable and without "entangling alliances" either with the vice of the community or those who sponsor and foster it. In order for this to obtain, the pilot on board the journalistic ship must be a man capable of holding his rudder with a steady hand, steering through reefs of sinister advice and ignorance and guarding his cargo safely over the rocks of vicious and immoral influences. He who thus commands the ship can ill afford to lend an attentive car to those elements which seek to destroy the morality of the race. If he does lend car, he becomes unwittingly an aid of the very influences which he is naturally sworn to fight as part of the mission of the "fourth estate."

NO LONGER is Twenty-second street and Indiana avenue the storm center for local color and excitement. Every evening Nosey will be on Thirty-ninth and Indiana avenue instead. All of the gunmen, thugs and gold-digging vampires can be seen in this neighborhood filling the night hours with their maudlin cries as they climb into taxi cabs, staggering and reeling under the influence of "cooking" whiskey. Nosey sees all of this and the police sees it, too. You may see it if you wish to on any old night or rather any morning about one o'clock. ON A FAIR evening last week, Nosey's beard resembled the beard of the "uninstructed" delegates from Mississippi at the last Republican convention. So Nosey decided that he would venture into one of the tonsorial parlorls. The one selected had nothing but the fixtures and a manicurist. Nosey naturally inquired what had happened. The cute little lady informed him that "Babe" Ruth was in town and he couldn't expect to get shaved until the "swatter" had departed. SOME of the good gentlemen who get their moonshine in the dark places ought to remember that the moon shines some nights. Nosey saw three of them "passing the bottle" in the alley between Calumet and South Park avenue just as the moon came out from behind a cloud, and tried to creep up on them to take his "revenue," but the same moon made for Nosey's downfall as the stealthy ones saw him coming and hurriedly departed, yet he saw the popular drug clerk's face and wondered if he had a prescription for that good half pint. EVERY ONE has their line. Nosey hear a woman asking why the grocer wanted so much for his tomatoes when she could get the same ones across the street for half the price. The green goods man looked at her and said, "Why, these are hand-picked tomatoes and that is why they cost more." The good housewife from South Park avenue said, "Oh, is that so? Well, give me twice the amount that I asked for." She pidd him. Nosey smiled and mumbled something about "one being born every minute" and walked on. YOU HAVE noticed the red light in the hall of that that building in the thirty-six block on the east side of Indiana avenue. Well, Nosey found out that there are only three nights in the week when they put on this "red light" stuff and on those nights there are some red headed "pale faced" women visit the place as well as some other kind of headed men that are not "pale faced." Nosey tried the place on one of the white light nights and there was nobody home. Then he tried it on the "red" night and no one would let him in, yet the piano was going. Funny, ain't it?

SIDE-LIGHTS OF GAY NEW YORK SIDE-LIGHTS OF GAY NEW YORK That monstrous electric sign which flashes on Broadway near Times Square advertising Wrigley's Chewing Gum is displayed at the modest cost of $250,000 a year. Upon that bit of Gotham advertisement Mr. Wrigley will realize the comfortable profit of $25,000. It occurs to us that when race business can invest a large share of advertising on Broadway that they will reach a milestone in economic progress. Down in Wall Street as you drift by those awe-inspiring buildings within whose walls the money matters of America are transacted, many interesting sights are to be seen. You will notice office boys and office girls gliding swiftly, by to Broad Street where miraids of windows are be decked with men whose fingers are continually making signs — signs which mark the changing of millions of dollars of securities, both good and bad, from one firm to another, from one individual to another. Luncheons are sold by vendors who shriek their wares in loud and strident voices, but who do not disturb the perpetual sign makers. Many Jews were in evidence, many Greeks, a few Jumans, and a few Insects Men, and Negroes, however. A great number of this last group may be seen purchasing forms at different news stands, and their money is invested in a more hazardous game. Stock market is something Negroes have yet to take a deep interest in, but it will come in the end When the evening shadows fall, after the day's work is done, after the subway and elevated trains have carried their precious cargoes to their respective destination, the big city is enveloped in the chonny mass of night, then New York's night life begins and the creatures who work at day or avoid work can be seen and they will be seen in places that you have read of. In the underworld in cabarres and in the many rendezvous of devilish humanity. In Harlem where the black folk abide the cabarres run in full blast and they are to be found in pungent basements with the characteristic wan and drawn faces. In the cabarres there will be found the mongrel types of Negroes, roughneck sailors whose ships lay at anchor in the Hudson, assembled in the suffy rooms for the night's wild orgle. No attention is paid to the one o'clock closing law and the night stick of the patrolling cop keeps time to the shrieking popular songs of the half drunken entertainers. White girls with dishevelled hair, painted faces may be seen staggering out of the subterranean hangouts, escorted by the redneck proligates or any one else that happens to drift along. The Bowery is extremely mild and quiet in comparison to the cabaret district of Harlem. **Skittle** A.

TO THE YOU KNOW 'EM EDITOR You know those ladies that go to the grocery store and talk their business over with the clerks. Well, tell them that it not only shows ignorance but also lowers them in the eyes of the clerks. I know you know those people in the 32nd block on Indiana Avenue who are constantly disturbing their neighbors in the building with late visitors of the "pale face variety." I know you know them because they neither work nor spend yet Old Solomon cannot hold a candle to them when it comes to weeping apparel. You know that real estate broker on State Street between 33rd and 35th Streets. Well, he transacts a lot of business in his office and sometimes he is real late getting through. You know you know that little fellow who spends most of his time telling the "white folks" in the bank all about his business. Well, don't criticize him, it isn't his fault, he is an apostle of Jack Johnson and both of them "love the big white folks." You must know that chiropodist on 31st Street who is said to have left hurriedly from a Grand Blvd residence taking a large portion of the plate glass door with him, sustaining a badly cut hand and arm. Oh, you must know him. Well, he said that it was an accident—it may be true. I know that you heard about that new divorce case that is about to break. If you haven't—get ready and lock up your own skeleton for it is coming. Oh, you 38th and Indiana Avenue. You must have heard about the prominent young lady who visits the Avenue Theatre quite a deal and they say sometimes after the show. Wonder if she does the cleaning at the theatre after the show is over? Keep your eyes on Nosey. I know that you are still disguised with the loud talking on the street cars and the ignorant expressions heard. Well, you can only hope that Father Time will come to your rescue. You know that restaurant on State Street where the prices are the highest and the food the worst, yet the proprietress will insult you if you make a moderate complaint. You must know them because they have running over the people for a long time and getting away with it too.

Address: NOVA DAME COLLEGE OF BEAUTY CULTURE, 3832 Wabash Avenue Chicago, Ill. A. DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic Vaudeville and Movie Review. The Avenue "September Morn," Arthur Gillespie's musical large," is pleasing big crowds at the Avenue Theatre in its opening week. The Panama Amusement Co. came back strong and presented a show well worth seeing. Both the music and the comedy are good, and the big crowds are kept laughing from beginning to end. The songs are catchy and the costumes keep the high pace set by those in "Canary Cottage." The story of "September Morn" is derived from the famous painting of that name. Argentina, a famous Parisian dancer, is about to make her debut in New York City and her press agent devises a scheme to make her famous by suggesting to the public that she is the original of the painting. He has the real picture stolen and takes it to Professor Plastic's studio, to have it retouched and to have Argentina's head placed in the original painting. The theft is discovered and traced to Plastic's studio, only to find that it had been sent to the artist's home. Counter complications are developed in which many laughs and excruciating situations are repounded. There are three acts in this play, which is the best mounted piece the company has so far displayed. Many sensational gowns are shown during the action of the play, notably the model scene in the first act and the old-fashioned garden in the last act. Shelton, Brooks, as Prof. Plastric, is inhibitable, and his dialogue with Ollie Powers, as Will Bunkum, the press agent, is a riot. Special mention must be made of Evelyn Preer in her scene entitled "Just an Old Fashioned Garden" Miss Preer presents here about as perfect a portrayal of old fashioned loveliness as has been seen for many a day on the South Side. Alberta Hunter with her "Sunanee" is good, and it goes without saying that the Indiana Ave. playhouse will be a sadder spot after Ollie Powers has gone with his well modulated tenor. The show is good in every sense of the word. A word of caution, however, should go to the orchestra. Its music is just a little too loud to hear the lines of the players from the rear of the house. "September Morn" is well worth seeking. "September Morr" opened big at this popular house on last Sunday. Shelton Brooks did honor to himself in the comedy role and the costuming was up to the standard of the other two shows. The adaptation is a little better for the colored audience as more humor is inserted in this book than in the other two. The character of the mother played by Margeret Lee was poorly characterized; she done the part of an old lady in a fashionably cut suit and a blood red hat. I think it must have been the fault of the producer. One novel feature was the unusual closing of the first act, Brooks directs the chorus and orchestra and one by one they discord and are thrown out, until the pit is empty and not to be outdone Brooks hops over the footlights into the pit and beats the drums, a good a piece of comedy work. This is a good show and should do the business. "Town Top-piks," as it is called, has taken first rank among all that has been presented in the musical comedy line. Brown and Gulfport with Gertrude Sanders have won a place in the hearts of the fans. One of the distinct features of the evening was the Buck dancing of Miss Lewis who really dances, and a Mr. James Thomas who completely stops the doings in his girl dance number. Gulfport as a comedian has no peer (as the great Sylvester Russell would like to see) his is naturally funny in the humorous situations and is alone worth the price and time spent to see and hear. The chorus is composed of twenty pretty girls who work awfully hard, and in fact it is the best drilled chorus seen in this city in late years. Town Top-piks will remain a few more weeks in order to give everybody a chance to see it. Al Gaines' Variety Show holds the boards at this house, it is a clean show and, going great at every performance.

READ THE ANCIENT ORDER OF UNCLE TOMS Begins Next Week In order that the public may not get the wrong impression of actors, managers, and all the elements that make up the race's theatrical group. I take the liberty to put them right. This self-styled V. Napoleon dramatic writers has seen different times as well as who did not enter to his delicate fancies, and for such actions he has become the most hated man in the profession, and each time he was given no consideration. I am not the only one to have the power to call your attention to these facts. He has been the most of the industry. I know that the big support to have the public what value the big because of the fact that they had was no salary for his great writing, as his wages were a percentage of the advertisements that he has studied up. Time and the again he has held the editor of the Whip of position and each time he begged his way back well. I So Russell has finally seen fit to get out his own little handbill called "The Chicago Star, as none of the big editors consider his work worth while. As an authority in the theatrical game he is considered the most vigorous and the best of it is commonplace among the actors. He has been beaten up several times for his slight remarks towards actors, one of them given by S. H. Dudley and another by Billy King, and he has been barred from every theatre on the stroll at different times, and at the present time. I denied free admission to the Vendome It is the intention of The Whip to keep its lash upon the back of this little mischief maker, the business of a dramatic writer as to construct himself to the attraction with a constructive criticism, and not every line a knock simply because you do not like the performer. You can do it, you can do it freely and don't expect them to pay for it, as a real critic can draw a large enough salary on any paper to be indeendent and give a real honest to goodness. Y. M. C. A.

BOONE MEDICINE CO. 6640 Evans Av. CHICAGO THE CHICAGO WHIP AG PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLI CENTRAL SCHOOL OF COM- MERCE ATTRACTING ATTENTION The Central School of Commerce, with W. D. Allimono, founder and principal, at 3451 Michigan Ave., is attracting considerable attention by reason of the systematic and modern method in which this school's course in Constructive Business Education is being connected. Following the lead of the largest academies of finance and economies throughout the country, Central School does not confine its activities alone to the student who desires to learn and master the fundamental principles of business, but also conducts lectures in modern business methods for business men already established in their respective pursuits. Prof. Allimono, the founder of the Central School of Commerce, is not only a certified public accountant, but also holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and over 20 professional business training at the Bryant Stratton Business College, and the Northwestern University School of Commerce. In addition to this training, he has the advantage of two years of practical business experience. Speaking of his course, Prof. Allimone said: "The service is a systematic, time saving method. Generally it is for those who are in a hurry, for live, keen-witted energetic people; it is not satisfied to remain in the rank or in subordinate positions. They may or may not have had a thorough school and college training, that is not an essential. But they must have had a thorough training to spend a portion of their spare time in reading, thinking and studying about business."

B. C's brought to a wind-up the last effort that the Windy City fans will witness on the part of the American Giants, that is, as far as the season of 1920 and the Western circuit is concerned. The athletes grabbed a rattler right after the Sunday pastime and are carded to display their wares at various big points A.

From the southland the Fosters go to Philadelphia, Pa., opening against the Rachariah Giants Oct. 5th, the series of games being in the nature of a world's affair in base ball parlance. Giants 1920 Success The Giants have had, or better, have enjoyed a very successful season, both from a playing and financial standpoint; the team has reigned victories over all competitors in the new Western circuit, having taken the season's series from all clubs, including the six gantle go against the Eastern cracks, the Bacharach Giants. The five game series with the Rogers Park of the City League was dropped on account of the present trip, leaving the leaguers two, and one for the Giants on the season's play. The Giants have broken all records as a drawing card, having pulled the largest crowd ever seen on the American Association park at Kansas City, filled the Indianapolis park to capacity, jammed Navin Field, American League grounds, Detroit, and played to the largest week day crowd ever seen in the West at St. Louis. Two hundred thousand persons have attended the games at Schorling Park, Chicago. The present trip should add fifty thousand more to the attendance. The Chicago Giants of the Western circuit will play out the balance of the season at American Giant's Park and will be opposed by the best teams out of the Chicago League and all-star teams made up of big league players. The Indianapolis A. B. C's will go south later on, while the Kansas City Monarchs will no longer go to California. The new team team, consisting a western trip and, no doubt, may play ball at Palm Beach, Fla. The Detroit Stars have a series of games, with a bunch of American league stars from the Detroit Tigers, which the Colored teams of the East have big engagements with major leagues for a final conclusion. With a team of all-star Western circuit players led by Big Bill Gatewood and headed for St. Louis, also the St. Louis Giants playing the National League team a series, it looks like big things and deep water for the final plunge of the Colored teams for the season of 1920. A. B. C. FLAYED "Rube" Foster's American Giants brought the 1920 season's play on the home grounds to a close here last Sunday, when they took the final circuit game from the Taylor A. B. C.'s without much effort. The veteran Diana Johnson did the slabbing for the Indians and played a leading roll in the opening canter, aiding in part to the three markers acquired by the Giants by a bad pouch to base, and allowing the champs to touch his offering for a trio of base bingles. Johnson pulled himself together in the third round, defending himself to the tune of walking DeMoss, Torrentiti and Jim Brown back to their bench via the strike-out route, the breezing coming three in a row. Dave Brown was up to just form that has made him the most feared pitcher on the circuit, the A's getting him for five base knocks, just three more than they ever got off the classy southpaw; still the Hoosiers have much to thank for the Cubans. Bacharach Giants, and K. C. Monarchs are the only teams this summer to go many as five hits. Dave Brown. He is truly the most effective pitcher on the circuit, having downed all the strong circuit clubs with more to spare than any other hurler. In the Sunday game, Taylor's new men did not notoriously impress, and his old good-byes, the fellows who have carried the burden of all the hard battles for the past five years, displayed unmistakable signs of the heavy strain of the passing season. Charleston, young in years, is the same as when he electrified the Chi-fans and still Jooms up as the best in the country. The Hoosiers play at St. Louis and Kansas City, then get back to the home town and may go south. The score: P.D.MADIGAN&CO 299 TO 307 E.31 ST. ST.

CUBANS TROUNCE MONARCHS Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 21. -Hitting Pitcher Currie hard in the first two innings, the Cuban Stars from Havana defeated the Monarchs, 7 to 1, at Association park. Currie was relieved in the second by Crawford, who pitched the balance of the contest without allowing a Cuban to dent the plate.

It took all the stuff that Johnny Overlock had to stop the team that Will Peters is showing these days. Overlock is the pitcher that created such a sensation in the American Association, and has, for many seasons, been the one tough nut for the Foster team to crack. Peters has a team of college and high school stars and has been putting up a showing of late that stamps his charges as a mighty worthy foe for any team on the diamond. The score: Detroit, Mich., Sept. 21—Detroit Stars took Sunday's game at Mack park from St. Louis, score 2 to 1. Carr and Holland were both in fine form. The visitors outhit the locals, but were unable to hit Holland with men on the bases. Petway caught a wonderful game, stopping three runners at the plate. St. Louis played a perfect fielding game.

Johnson, for the locals, held the visitors to five scattered hits. Kenard's circuit drive with one on accounting for two of the visitor's tallies.

GREEN'S CHICAGO GIANTS HERE Joe Green's Chicago Giants, the team that has been putting the works to all competitors with alarming regularity here of late, will play out the balance of the present season as the home club at Shorling Park. Green has two of the very best pitchers on the circuit in Taylor and Luther, the pair having put it on several big teams around these parts, with wins to their credit over the best down East. The Romeos, one of the strongest teams out of the Chicago League have been picked as opponents for the Green's, and from the present form of the two battling aggregations, the fans are in for a good go. The fact that there will be no more big league games on the South Side on Sunday, and with the Americans away on a tour, the best teams around these parts have been secured that the South Side fans may be entertained by a high grade of pastiming.

THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS TWO NEW GUNS TO FIGHT PLANES OUR ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT IS BUILDING IMPROVED ANTI- AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY. INGENIOUS MOUNTS DESIGNED Signal Corp'z Installation of Apparatus and Equipment at Camp Perry Is Interesting — Telegraph Wires Tapped for Press Messages. By JAMES P. HORNADAY. Washington. — Anti-aircraft guns manufactured by the army ordnance department during the war were designed, for the most part, in 1917 during the early stages of the war. The principal improvements recommended by those consulted in regard to the features desired in such artillery are a shorter time of flight of the projectile, a means of setting up the mount in a horizontal plane and absolute stability when firing. In the light of those recommendations the ordnance department is building two calibers of anti-aircraft guns and mounts therefor. One of them is a three-inch gun that will give to the projectile a muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet a second, and will have an elevation from zero to 80 degrees and a traverse of 360 degrees. By an ingenious design of pedestal mount, it can be set up on a fixed emplacement or on a vehicle of the trailer or self-propelled type. The pedestal is provided with a self-contained adjustment for leveling the traversing parts so that, when the mount is used on a vehicle, it may be easily put in operative condition. A self-propelled vehicle also is being designed for the gun and mount. It can travel on rubber-tired wheels on ordinary roads or be converted into caterpillar traction for travel over rough roads and open country. What Heavier Gun Is Like The other gun is a 4.7-inch piece, designed to give a muzzle velocity of 2,600 feet per pound. It is carried on a mount similar to that for the three-inch gun. Loading at all elevations will be done by a rammer which is operated by compressed air. The weight of a round of ammunition and the high elevation make the loading system necessary for rapid fire. A self-propelled convertible wheeled and caterpillar vehicle also is being manufactured for this gun. The signal corps installed at Camp Be a Good Samaritan By "Full of Pep" Perry, O., during the target competitions there, an exhibit of some of its apparatus and equipment. Including radio telephone outfits. One of the most useful features of the installation is a long-wave intercepting radio receiver, which is used to intercept press messages passing over telegraph wires, and the messages are posted on a bulletin board at the camp. Thus those in attendance at the camp are given the latest news before it is published in the newspapers to which it is sent. Development of improved armor-piercing projectiles for the army is progressing satisfactorily. The government is now producing 14-inch projectiles that penetrate 14-inch armorplate at 20 degrees from perpendicular (normal). Several projectiles have been fired, and additional tests of further supplies will be held to give an impact against the plate at 25 degrees from normal. New Types of Canister. New types of canister have been tested in 37 mm, and 2.24-inch tank guns. These canister shells contain the regular one-half-inch shrapnel balls, which penetrate two inches of spruce-plank at from 150 to 200 yards. Tests now are under way by the army ordnance department of a new subcaliber tube for 75 mm. guns. It is the 37 mm. gun, model of 1916, converted into a subcaliber tube by removing the breech block and providing adapters to seat it in the 75 mm. gun. The 37 mm, low explosive ammunition is fired in the subcaliber tube by the service firing mechanism of the 75 mm. gun. A large surplus of this ammunition is on hand, and the subcaliber project was undertaken in order to use it for practice. Subcaliber tubes for the 155 mm howitzer, 155 mm, gun, and 8-inch howitzer also will be ready for test in the near future. Adapters for these larger pieces are more complicated and means must be provided for firing the primers. There have been delays in acting on applications of officers of the regular army for transfer from one branch of the service to another in accordance with the new army reorganization law, particularly in the case of cavalry and infantry officers, owing to the fact that until recently the chiefs of cavalry and infantry were not appointed. The law requires the consent of the chiefs of the branches from and to which a transfer is asked before it can be made. Locomotives in Place of Ammunition. One of the largest British engineering firms has transformed its immense ammunition works into a locomotive factory. Ain't Used to It. But few men can stand prosperity when it comes.

It will also be recalled that the good citizens of Atlanta forced John Temple Graves to change his place of abode. It was then that he was employed on the Hearst-financed editingtor-in-chief of the syndicate. Had the riot of Monday night assumed a gigantic proportion, as a result of which several people might have been killed the "Herald-Examiner" could not have escaped the criminal responsibility as being agent of wanton murder Tribune Attitude Correct The attitude of the Chicago Tribune in reference to the affair deserves the highest commendation and praise They sought only to tell the truth with no desire to garner unholy gold at the expense of innocent blood. A newspaper that influences the public with prejudicial stories, causing the death of innocent people, is as guilty of murder as those who commit the deed. Corner of 47th and Halsted a Sore Spot Forty-seventh and Halsted streets has achieved the title of "death corner," and is known as a place dangerous for any colored man or woman to pass day or night, notwithstanding the fact that a police station and municipal courtroom is only a halb block distant. It is on this same corner that only two weeks ago William Johnson, 3853 Langley Ave., en route home from work, was assaulted and left nearly dead on the street, and finally found by policemen, who took him to the Forty-eighth street station, informing him that he had been charged with insulting a white woman. 1 DEAD, 8 HURT, IN "HERALD-EXAMINER'S" FAKE RIOT The victims in the disturbance or the south side Monday night were as follows DEAD.

LEAVES TWO MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE LEAVES TWO MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE WEST COLUMBIA. Tex., Sept. 21.-The recent death of Charles Brown a few days ago, at his home in this city at the age of ninety, disclosed the fact that he was the wealthiest colored man in this part of the country. He left a fortune estimated as being between two and three million dollars, and he have owned 3,600 acres of land, a consider able part of which is in the heart of the wonderfully productive West Columbia oil fields. Land Under Lease This property was all under lease and returned an enormous revenue in royalty to the owner. Mr. Brown also was a successful farmer, having several people employed on his various lands. He also had his physical and mental condition was vigorous. He ailed only a few days before his demise. Wealthy But Led Simple Life The garnering of a large amount of this world's goods had no material effect upon the manner and mode of Mr. Brown's living. The old one horse wagon in which he rode and which was a familiar figure in the business section of the city during his presence in the city was used constantly by him up to the time of his death. While his family would be seen using high priced automobiles and having every luxury of life, the old man was contented to follow the even tenor of his own way. Respected by All Mr. Brown has lived in this community the greater part of his life and enjoyed the confidence and respect of all the people for miles around, regardless of race or creed. He was of a distinguished appearance and striking personality and leaves a family of seven children and number of grandchildren, for which he made liberal provisions in his will. At the funeral services neighbors and friends from miles around came to pay their last tribute and respects to a distinguished citizen of civic, moral and financial help to a community.

His shoes also had been removed from his feet. The police hade a determined effort to find some fact detrimental to the character of the murdered man, but at every turn of the path they met a clean record, and found Brown to be a respectable citizen. Case To Be Investigated The WHIP urges a careful, impartial investigation of Shannon's conduct, it can be proven that he was justified in killing Brown, the WHIP has no money to say, but on the hand, if his testimony was warranted and without justification, we shall unhesitatingly urge his indictment and conviction for murder. The WHIP takes the position that citizens have rights and if this kind of action is permitted, where individuals on peaceful errands can be shot down with impunity and the case disposed of by a friendly coroner's jury, it is time for the public to know it. Regardless of what attitude the coroner's jury takes in this matter, this paper will urge that all the facts be presented to the public jury. Killed Two--Himself Slain CUMBERLAND, Md., Sept. 21.—Jackson James shot and killed Mrs. Martha Green, a married woman of this city with whom he is alleged to have been infatuated. He also killed Eugene Malloy in a saloon while attempting to make his escape. As he dashed through the streets, firing at random, he also wounded Raymond Ambruster (white). James was shot and killed by a policeman. Bar Whites From Colored Churches POPLAR BLUFF, M6, Sept. 22—An ordinance prohibiting white people attending or loitering near any religious meeting held by colored people in this city was passed by the city council late last week. The ordinance, which also prohibits any colored people attending or going near any religious meeting held by whites, came about as a result of near riots between the two races. Numerous charges were made by colored people that they had been disturbed in their services by members of the white race who loitered about the church doors and jeered at the way in which the colored held their services. steamer Moledgaard, used a cleaner with telling effect upon the head of a fireman employed on the ship. He was present at the time of the controversy. Brown was brought to port and held after a preliminary hearing on the charge of "assault on the high seas". He was released on $100 bail by U.S. Commissioner J. A. Williams. It was said that Brown's attack was justified. Virginians "Get Em Told" RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 22. Declaring that the Negroes of Virginia have been excluded from the councils of the Republican party, and claiming that the Negroes in Virginia hold the balance of power in this state, J. Thomas Newsome, colored Republican leader of this city, is perfecting plans for the Republican state convention to be held in Richmond this week. According to Mr. Newsome, the colored people of this state are prepared to show the world that the strength of the party in Virginia lies entirely with the colored race.

His announcement signified that the colored wing had been victorious in their fight which they have waged against the regulars since they bolted the Republican state convention last spring. It is believed that Blount will poll a formidable vote if members of his race are not intimidated at the polls and thus restrained from voting. LET SPRINGER DO IT. YOUR Free Suit Talent.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters "Cast thy bread upon the waters, and in many days it will return to thee." Since the days of the Reconstruction period, the white American conscience has been casting bread upon the waters—bread of lynching, burning, and beating—bread of bomb terror and mob violence. Many days have passed, and the bread is beginning to return. A few bloody crumbs washed ashore in Wall Street, New York, the other day, and thirty White Americans died by the terrorist bomb. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay', saith the Lord." The Lord is beginning to repay. The religious fanatic who believes blindly, and the cynical disbeliever who denies just as blindly must both see the truth of this simple, time-worn proverb, if they both watch the trend of affairs. No religious fervor is necessary. It is with no vindictive spirit that we say that the thirty white Americans who died, and the hundred others who were injured in the Wall Street blast, paid with their blood for America's lawlessness. It is simply that we recognize the operation of that unerring universal law, that law from which there is no escape—the law of action and reaction. For nearly threescore years the American Government has, by its indifferent inactivity and its remorseless apathy, practically sanctioned the lynching of Negroes throughout the country. As a result, the public mind has become so poisoned, and the public moral so decayed, that recently two white men have been lynched, one the son of a judge. THE BLOOD OF THESE MEN, WHETHER INNOCENT OR GUILTY, MUST BE SAMPLED ON THE DOOR-POSTS, NOT SO MUCH OF THE LYNCHERS THEMSELVES, AS ON THE DOORPOSTS OF THAT SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHICH ALLOWS THE MINDS OF ITS POPULACE TO BECOME SO CALLOUS THAT SUCH CRIMES CAN BE COMMITTED WITH PUNITY. In Chicago, the American home of bomb terrorism, and the birthplace of the I. W. W., the homes of thirty-three American Negroes have been bombed with "immunity". The constituted authorities sworn to protect life and property have evinced little or no disposition to apprehend the marauders. The psychology given birth by this immunity to bomb throwers has quickly placed bomb throwing at the head of "safe" methods of fighting one's enemies. Strangely enough, last Thursday's blast in Wall Street has been traced back to Chicago, and it would be peculiar, indeed, if the contrivers of that giant blast of TNT should finally be discovered to be the same gentlemen who have made South Side nights hours of anxious vigil rather than periods of peaceful slumber. The seeing eye, and the discerning mind, must point the accusing finger at those administrators who have allowed both potential and full-fledged criminals to feel secure in wanton lawlessness. America's tide of wanton lawlessness is beginning to sweep inshore, washing up ever and anon the bloody crumbs she so carelessly cast to the waters in past years. She may expect an ever increasing flood of compensatory calamity until she realizes that the pendulum which has once swung outward, must inevitably swing back again! The tide is coming in. The Lord is repaying. Many days have passed, and the crumbs are washing up!

If so, perhaps it has never occurred to you that "your fears may be liars and the future may be in yon smoke concealed. Your enemies chase even now the fliers but for you possess the field." A tall, angular man of color, a man with a fighting heart and a fighting record, but upon whose face the network of Time's tiny wrinkles bears mute evidence of age, recently remarked, "I am discouraged. Every dream that I have had in my earlier days, every vision of my race uplifted, proud and loyal, has proven itself to be a mirage—nothing more than a fantastic creation of my mind. Every ideal has been wrecked and ruined. I can see only darkness and dispair." With these words the toiler hung his head and "homeward plodded his weary way." The shattered ideals, the blasted dreams, the illusionary mirage and the pitiable discouragement of the tall, angular man of color with his sixty years of wrinkles is shared by many of the dark skinned pilgrims who also are in the slough of despond. This is no time for discouragement, despondency or despair. We know that up to the present it has been extremely difficult to drive the members of the race into organized effort. We know that it has been extremely difficult to get the fullest degree of economic and political action. We realize that inaction, apathy and inertia can be found among the colored people of America. Yet we are not only hopeful, we are confident that the future of the American Negro is to be a glowing record of achievement and it is only a question of time before the despised "half man" will elevate his status to that of the other giant racial groups. The American Negro is going through an evolutionary period—a period that is always slow and gradual but always constructive. Evolution is a process of nature which neither prejudice, inertia or apathy can stem. THE AMERICAN NEGRO IS THE STRONGEST RACE POTENTIALLY IN THE WORLD. IT THRIVES IN THE CESSPOOLS OF CIVILIZATION AND GROWS LIKE A LILY OUT OF THE MARSHES—IT CANNOT BE STEMMED. That crimson colored fluid that we mortals call blood gives life, energy and activity to mankind. It is the vital principle of life—the cause of temper, disposition and state of passions. The blood of the American Negro is the most virile, reproductive and vigorous in all creation. It is a mixed product, free from stagnation, which has not been devitalized by excessive inbreeding as has been the blood of the white and yellow races. The American Negro is a NEW RACE which has no worn-out cells. Lifegiving properties inherited from his brilliant Egyptian ancestors can still be found. The genius of that blood is still retained. The daring fire of the Caucasian burns the genius of the Egyptian and powers of both of these strains of blood have been fused in the arteries of the American Negro. That blood must tell and it will tell. Time alone is to determine his future. The time for pessimism or despair has not arrived. Give that blood chance to assert itself. Do not subdue it but aid it with political and economic action. The work of Nature is slow, but like the mills of the gods it grinds incessantly. OURS IS NOT THE ONLY RACE PROBLEM OURS IS NOT THE ONLY RACE PROBLEM British Treatment of Africans Scored. London, Sept. 1.—(Delayed)—An indication that the agitation for justice to the Negro is nearing its fruit is found in an article by Sir H. H. Johnson, writing in the Observer. "Many of the assertions made before the negro conference in New York," he says, "were wild and windy, but it behoves our colonial office to see plain justice done to the 4,000,000 of black and brown people in this 'colon's' and 'protectorate.'" Numerous instances of bullying, flogging and torture are cited by the writer. "The natives," he says, "are slowly coalescing to an old Nilo, Mohammed with Christian and pagan, Somali and Galla with the hitherto-deplaced negro, in their common hatred of the invading white man, owing to the exceptional cruelties which have stained the white man's record during this period of fifteen years. These are not cruelties of soldiers or policemen, of government servants of any kind, but of individual settlers. British or Roer, in origin. Juries Liberate Whites "Not only have murders, light-hearted murders, of natives taken place all too frequently, but only have revolting cruelties been come to light. The authorities have brought up for trial white juries acquit them or white judges inflict trivial penalties, or rebellious public opinion forces a governor to arrest a man." Prejudice Aginst Japanese Prejudice Aginst Japanese (The Chicago Journal, Sept. 18). Chester Rowell, editor of the Pressio Republican newspaper, has written the truth in regard to the hostility of Californians toward the Japanese. He does not assert that the white California is superior to the brown ones; he admits that the Japanese are in some cases the superiors of many whites; he whitens folks will not deal with Japanese except as with an inferior race. There is where the danger lies in the New Republic is worth reading and populating upon. It is not an article that will leave the reader feeling comfortable; but no reader ought to desire living in the Japanese, the superiors of many whites, but to control the human mind everywhere. The Japanese are not an inferior race. They are a great race. The Chinese are a great race, too, when the ancestors of most Americans were engaged in the task of herding hogs, the Chinese were counting the stars, creating beautiful works of art, and discussing THE WEEK EDITOR DANGEROUS NEGR THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL (From the Detroit "Saturday Night," Sept. 11) including a largely attended convention in New York, the Universal Negro Improvement Association inaugurated Marcus Garvey as president of Africa, and elevated Gabriel Carson as president of the Negro Potentate and Leader of the Negroes of the World."

The Journal many times has called attention to the wickedness of lynching, to the strong probability that the lynchers will get the wrong man, to the lawlessness, disorder and cruelty underly processes which the custom engenders. The Associated Press dispatch quoted below shows another side to lynching, namely, its utter brutality. Meridian, Miss., Sept. 13—Will Echols, a necrogently convicted of the murder of Henry W. Davis, an aged night watchman at the plant, was taken from jail on Oct. 11. CANDIDATES AND COLORED Reprint from The Chicago Daily News by Duncan C. Milner There has been much comment on the similarity of statutes to the speeches of the candidates of both parties for president and vice-president. There is, however, a sharp contrast to the negro question. Senator Harding said: "I believe the negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full rights of citizenship; that sacrifices in blood on the battle fields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that American spirit of fairness and justice demands." Gov. Coolidge says: "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of constitutional rights, emptied with disloyalty, but equal, vital, in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, surely the 55 possessed in liberty bonds, surely the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, and to be freely granted equal opportunities." --- THE CHICAGO WHIP IZATION AND GROWS LIKE A S—IT CANNOT BE STEMMED. which have been devastated and de- artisans who even now are at work what we mortals call blood gives life, It is the vital principle of life—the state of passions.

The porters, who were armed and clothing have been miserably inadequate with the result that some 23,000 to 25,000 of them (it was reported) died during the purge." Protest Callous Treatment "The survivors have retained tongues and the power of speaking; some, even, had been mission educated, and when 'Dora' (Defense of the realm act) took her hand off the mail service they have stammeringly told the world that she had been wounded in sufferings and even of singularly callous and sometimes cruel treatment at the hands of the military authorities. The unminating incident is this: Some two months ago there occurred at Ndurn, in British East Africa, cases of flogging and torture, so severe that, according to a medical officer's report, in some cases 'the flogged natives died from the torture and flogging' of the soldiers, who were committed on a European's plantation. The Europeans in what is now termed a "colony" apparently take the law into their own hands. what lie meant, Gen. Grant said that the greatest men he had ever met were Disraeli the English statesman, Gambetta the French statesman, Otho the German statesman and Li Hung Chang the Chinese statesman, and that he believed that Li Hung Chang was the greatest of the four. But the average white man in America is not likely to believe that any Chinese or Japanese gentleman is as great as the most inferior American whose skin is white. This situation is ooh-la-la-the greatest prejudice—must be accepted. It is annoying, it is unjust, but it is useless to fight against a fact. But the outlet for overpopulation Jian must be found, but so long as American white men are prejudiced against all blood that is not white, it would be foolish to let down the wars so that they may come out. But if so soon proved well, to speak mildly, there will be friction between Tokyo and Washington. that type who principally compose the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Henry F. Downing, a Negro of wide experience and considerable culture, describes Garvey as a character of great importance in life as an unbounded hatred of the whites. He is hailed as a dusky Moses, ordained to lead his oppressed peoples in the struggle for freedom in Africa. The idea on not a same one but it makes a profound impression upon the ignorant. Mr. Downing points out, if Liberia adds the Garvey movement to the extent of petitting him to establish himself in Morovia, it will foster a potential challenge to the European states with interests in west Africa. This will arise in which our own state department could well become involved. It for the thousand Clear thinking and reasonable egos of the Negro might end in an African Downybrook Fair. carried two miles into the country and shot to death. In order of that "small party of men" made themselves murderers for the sake of shooting a man already condemned by the law. Could anything be much more imbecile? The negro had been convicted of murder, and obviously he was under sentence of death, else he would have been removed from the jail to prison. But the "small party of men" shot the wretch whom the law was about to hang. For stupidity as well as wickedness, a lynching mob is supreme. Mr. Wilson when he was a candidate for president for his first term received a letter from a number of prominent colored men asking him what he would do for their race. He replied that he was not the best poacher, he justice and protect them in their rights. On the strength of that promise many negroes voted for him. He disappointed all their requests and numbered the berated office holders lost their positions and were replaced by white men. In the government offices there has been inaugurated and humiliating to colored men and women. Numbers of them have passed civil service examinations with the highest ratings and been refused assignment because of their color. In the world war the negro troops did fine service, but colored officers and men suffered much shamful treatment from some white officers. The black men colored men from receiving the promotion and honors they had fairly won. After many letters and petitions President Wilson issued a protest against the horrible lynching of black men from muddy here the colored people were killed. If the statements of the republican candidates mean anything there should come federal action to prevent the unjust and shameful treatment of 12,000,000 of our fellow citizens. HEALTH HINTS. By Dr. Wm. A. Foulks Man is a Microcosm. There is nothing in the Cosmos that cannot be found in him. But we seem to pay more attention and give more thought and study to everything there. man. Men have spent their whole lives studying the microbes they imagine that microbes cause disease and an increase in theclusion they are devising means to kill these microbes so as to prevent the etiological factor in most diseases, and how many of its dureties spent their whole lives studying the microbes because they manage that microbes cause disease and in consequence they are concerned with means to kill these microbes so as to obliterate them. Of course we have been taught that microbes are the biological factor in most diseases, and how many of us dare to think to the contrary? And if some do them they have the temerity to make the assertion: While microbes are found in most diseases they are no more the cause of the disease than the scavenger is, and they are endowed to remove, or the vulture the puttering carcass he is devouring. Microbes (if I may use the term) are enemies. They are sent to rid us of our impurities and shall not cease their radical activities until they have thoroughly scoured We are but born to die and death should be looked forward to as a most glorious event. We are not born to die and death should we have accomplished that for which we were placed here. Inglorious if we have been failures, if we have not fought a good fight. We are not born to die and death should accumb to the ravages of our "friendly enemies" if we do not live a life inviolable. We are not trying to adipose the inevitable, we are not trying to adipose that every individual should study to keep well or get perfect health. The doctor how they are going to harm you, how they are going to get sick to give the doctors a job, very kind of you, but you are doing yourself no good. You might think it is a charitable thing to do, but true, it is not. The law of nature is the first law of nature; break all the commandments, if you will, but remember the proverbial eleventh. "Man, mind yourself," make it, especially when it is not demanded. Study the Microcosm yourself. You will find something about yourself to learn were you born to die. When I say study yourself, I do not mean that you should take a course in anatomy or physiology because if you were able to name the muscles, the ligaments, the ramifications of the blood vessels and nerves it would not help you in any wise to healthy living. And do not think that because an other does a certain thing without bad reason it shall be safe in doing it. Because what is one man's tool may be another's poison. If you throw a bird out of the window it will fly, learn to fly by you throw yourself into the air, prayers shall save you from hitting the ground. LEGAL HINTS TO WOMEN By Violette N. Anderson, LL. B. By Viollette N. Anderson, LL.B. All questions asked by women concerning their legal or domestic rights gladly answered. Address Woman's Column—The Whip. My husband and I separated eight years ago. He married another woman in the South five years ago. Am I not free to marry again? No. Your marriage still exists and you must procure a divorce. My husband, working at the stockyards stops on his way home on pay days and uses from $10 to $15 for gambling and drinks out of his check before he gets home. The six children and I cannot live decently on what is left. What can I do? If after trying to reason with him, shouting him the children's needs and your necessities to forget his duty to his family, go down to Room 902, City Hall, Court of Domestic Relations, and make complaint. A stranger in the city, daughter of a reputable physician in the South, was visiting a girl friend here. The flat was raided and she learned that she was in a disorderly flat where the girls received men callers in their rooms. Her explanations were of no use and she was taken to the 35th Street Police Annex and the next morning forced to submit to a blood test. Why was that? Blood tests are made on all women or girls taken in raids on disorderly flats and cases where the sex question is involved. If they have syphilis they are sent to Lawndale Hospital for treatment. I trust your friend's test was negative. I trusted and loved a man now in business here in Chicago: I worked and paid his tuition to the extent of nearly a thousand dollars at college that he might fit himself to enter a profession. For several years our marriage has been postpone from time to time. I have discovered that he is about to marry another girl, now that he is able to make a living for himself and another. He has ruined my life and refuses to marry me. What remedy is left me? Yours is the sad experience of every woman who works for a man capable of earning his own living and paying his own tuition. He is not any longer worthy a thought of yours. Brace up and start over somewhere else. If you care for the notoriety and can afford it, sue him for breach of promise. It may at least open the eyes of the other woman before it is too late. MEADVILLE, PA.. NOTES PA. F. N. Miss E. Mac Gillespie, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M.
