SEE PLOT TO SEGREGATE RACE
Proposed Redistriction of City Wards to Cut Representation in Half, Is Claim
In keeping with the wish of the electorate of the city of Chicago, the regular Council Committee has begun their work of re-districting the wards of the city. In this new jersey-mander this committee, which is composed of Democrats, plan to give colored people two wards in order that their representation in the city council would not be lessened when the fifty-ward plan will be put into operation. Under this new plan, the territory that would be turned over to colored people will extend from 26th St. to 43rd St., and from Wents worth to the lake.
Bither Objects
The Assistant Corporation Council Bither, who is also the Committee man from the Third Ward, has offered serious objections to the Council's original plan. It is said that he gave as his reasons for his opposition the fact that Negroes were "crossing their line" and "invading white territory" when they went beyond 39th St. It is believed that pressure is being brought to bear upon Bither by the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners' Association, which association has so bitterly objected to colored people living south of 39th St. He offered another proposition which would only give Negroes one ward and consequently one alderman. This plan would cut off the white residents north of 31st St., west of Wentworth Ave. south of 39th St., and east of Cottage Grove Ave.
Bither After Thompson Support Bither has shown an unusual eagerness to put his proposition of segregation through. He is trying to enlist the support of the Thompson administration. There is a possibility of his plan going through Major R. R. Jackson, up to this time is the only one of the big politicians to see the joker in the Bither plan and to register vigorous protest against its adoption.
"Big Guns" Make Statement
"Big Guns" Make Statement
In an interview with Alderman Jackson, a Whip reporter was told that under the original plan for two wards the race would greatly benefit. Alderman Jackson also stated that colored people would have at least 75% of the votes in each of the proposed wards and therefore would not only have an opportunity to have two aldermen, but two ward teemers as well. Alderman Jackson said the he would die in his power even if he would kill in his power even if he had his coveted place to prevent colored voters from being bloodwinked. Ex-Alderman De Priest, speaking for himself and Asst. Corp, Counsel Edward H. Wright, said that they agreed with the Bither plan for one ward only because it would consolidate the colored vote and in addition it would not prevent Negroes from moving into Hyde Park and eventually controlling it by their majority of votes
DENIED COFFEE, SHOOTS CLERK. ROBS CASH REGISTER
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 17.—Starydos Christos, white, saw fit to refuse an unidentified colored man a cup of coffee in his restaurant at 10th Ave, and 34th St. North, here last week. As a result Christos is dead, and the hungry one has escaped with the contents of Christos' cash register. The assailant is said to have become infuriated at Christos' refusal to serve him.
SEARCH SOUTH FOR CABINET MEMBER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 17.—It was disclosed here today that the Republican landslide on election day has opened the eyes of the Republicans to the possibilities for the Republican party in the South, when Republican leaders prepared to deal the Democratic South another blow by selecting a member for Harding's cabinet from below the Mason-Dixon line. The largest difficulty which presented itself was the selection of a Southern Republican of cabinet caliber. Prominent among those mentioned were A. T. Hert, of Kentucky, and Jake Hamon, of Oklahoma.
HER UNINVITED GUEST WAS HER HUSBAND
Springs Surprise When He Walks in on Runaway Wife and "Other Husband"
An unexpected guest called upon Mrs. Eva Booker, alias Eva Brown, 3800 Rhodes Ave., Monday night. It was her deserted husband, Sinclair Booker, 3244 Rhodes Ave. Mrs. Booker and William Brown were conducting a little love nest in the "Baby Doll" apartments at 3800 Rhodes Ave., where they masqueraded as man and wife. Brown loved his way into the heart of Mrs. Booker away back in the Creole city of New Orleans, where Booker and his wife lived undisturbed until Brown made his appearance. It was then that Mrs. Booker deserted her husband and 5-year-old boy to come to Chicago with Brown. Booker retained the services of Atty. Richard E. Westbrooks, of the law firm of Ellis E. Westbrooks, to unravel his marital tangle. Atty. Westbrooks located the errant lovers and visited their nest Monday night in company with Booker, Office William Holmes, of the Cottage Grove Station, and the ever-present Whip rehorter, where he obtained a full confession from Mrs. Booker concerning her infidelity.
Booker says he doesn't want his wife back, he only wants freedom from her. Divorce proceedings will be instituted at once.
To Try Dr. Robinson on Confidence Charge
Dr. Albert R. Robinson, known as the "black Edison," will appear before Judge George Barrett, of the Criminal Court, Nov. 27, on a charge of operating a confidence game, alleged against him by some dissatisfied person, who is said to have assisted Dr. Robinson in the prosecution of his patent. Dr. Robinson is well known as an inventor, and for the past twenty years has had a stormy career in his efforts to retain his patent rights for various inventions. These fights have on several occasions gone as far as the Supreme Court, and have attracted the attention of some of the best lawyers in the country. Dr. Robinson's inventions are said to involve many of the improved appliances now used on electric and surface car lines. The inventor is a familiar and spectacular figure on State St., with his high-powered, brass-trimmed automobile of European make and model.
CLAIM AFRICANS ARE THE ONLY REAL JEWS
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 17—B. Levitin, writing in the "Jewish Forward" here, tells of his discovery of a strange cult of "black Jews" which he found with headquarters at 2367 7th Ave, here. Mr. Levitin evidently believes there is some merit in the creed of the cult, who claim that Esau, the ancestor of the African races, was swindled out of his eldership by Jacob, the reputed ancestor of the Jewish race through the "mess of potage" incident related in the Bible. On this basis, the "black Jews" claim to be rightfully the "chosen people of God."
GIVES BIRTH TO QUARTETTE
JOAQUIN, Texas, Nov. 17.-Dr. E. A. Rushing of this town reported to the authorities last week the birth of four boys to Mrs. William Harris, colored, near here. The report states that the boys are well formed, healthy, and weigh an aggregate of 26 pounds.
N. A. A. C. P. Asks Investigation of Florida Riot
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 18.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes sensational charges that nearly 60 people had been killed in the Florida election riots. The Association has directed a letter to Atty, Gen. Palmer asking for federal investigation and claims to have procured evidence of the illegality, and murder already in hand to disqualify the entire vote of the state. As to what disposition the Atty, General will make has not yet been determined.

RCAEW
Would Suppress Whip And Jail It's Editors
It was reported by several people of prominence, more or less, that the Boston Dentists, and Drs. Dewell and Henry, successors to Wood Brothers, both located at 35th and State, and who maintain branch offices at 47th and State and 31st and State, were seeking to have warrants sworn out for the editors of the Chicago Whip, and Federal aid had been sought to have the publication suppressed. This is the reaction from the news stories that The Whip has carried containing complaints registered against these establishments.
Newell and Henry Sued for $25,000
Mrs. George Mitchell, through her attorney, Richard E. Westbrooks, has filed suit against the above named firm for a large sum, and other suits against both of these establishments are pending. In an interview with the editors they stated that The Whip was exposing methods used and practices adopted, in the interest of humanity, and that threats of jail, or jail itself, would not swerve them in their course, because they felt that they were right.
Churches and Citizens Will Aid
The many churches of the city have expressed their hearty co-operation with The Whip in the great and fearless campaign for the good of the people, and have rallied around them in this battle Letters are piling into offices of the institution daily, and public sentiment runs high against the unethical white dental parlors who seek wealth at the expense of black people.
RETURNS AFTER 23 YEARS IN LIBERIA
NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 18.—Mrs. Annie Wheeler and family have returned to the states after 23 years' sojourn in Africa. They arrived on the British steamer Skegness from Dakar. Mrs. Wheeler, in speaking of her experiences, said that she had left America more for the purpose of finding a place where she and her family could enjoy real freedom from the prevailing prejudicial customs of the past. "We have determined to return to the place of my birth and aid in whatever way possible my own people in freeing themselves from the present conditions in this country."
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 18. The Supreme Court of this state affirmed the death sentence passed on Charles Wimberly Dec. 31st in the Criminal Division of the Circuit Court. Wimberly was convicted of murder in the first degree of the killing of John Jackson.
Forced Attentions Result in Assault
SAN-ANTONIO, Texas, Nov. 18—W, H, McClintock, (white), of Fort Worth, Texas, attending the 'Oil Men's meeting here, may lose his left hand as a result of a fight which occurred when he attempted to force his attentions upon two girls who were en route home.
But Color of Contracting Parties Means Nothing to Judge Heap in Morals Court
Murmurs of resentment and cries of protest on the part of white representatives of certain women's clubs and welfare associations filled the air in Judge Arnold Heap's branch of the Municipal Court last Thursday morning when a double marriage ceremony was performed. The racial identity of the contracting parties caused the uproar.
Charles White, of 740 E. 45th St., was married to Amelia Phillips, white, of Terre Haute, Ind., and John Arthur Triplett was married to Hazel Rose, white, of Indianapolis, Ind. It appears that the four had established and were maintaining a love nest out south, until interfered with and haled into court by inquisitive neighbors.
The social workers (white) who throng the Morals Court insisted that that part of the law which decrees marriage in such cases had no application where white women and colored men were involved. Asst. State's Attorney Frank C. Schraeda recommended that as all parties were entitled to the penalties and benefits of the law alike, there was no basis for altering the law on account of the color of the skin. Atty. Richard E. Westbrooks, of the law firm of Ellis & Westbrooks, took charge of the case for the defendants, and the ceremony was performed in due order, the protests of the white welfare workers to the contrary notwithstanding.
EXPECT NEW RACE
RIOTS IN NORTH
CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE, N-C, Nov. 17—Following the alleged assault upon two white girls here, and the murdering of their escort, last week, by two men, unidentified, who later escaped, residents of this section are preparing themselves for indiscriminate reprisals and race riots. Feeling is very high.
THIS MULE WAS TOO FAITHFUL
MACON, Ga., Nov. 17. — Richard Marcus, alleged maker of illicit whisky, is languishing behind the bars here because his faithful old mule knew too well the way from Marcus' home to his still.
When Marcus saw prohibition agents coming to raid his still last week, he made his getaway, leaving his mule and wagon behind. The officers mounted the wagon and clucked to the mule, who forthwith and without guidance, made her way to the still. Marcus is held in default of $2,000 bond.
Another Victim of the "Painless Dentists"
On Wednesday, November 10th, Edward E. Robinson, 3006 Calumet Avenue, heeded the glaring and al-luring signs of the Boston Dental Parlors at 35th and State Street and because his tooth was aching decided to have it drawn by the "painless" method so blatantly advertised by their electric signs. He went
luring signs of the Boston Dental Parlors at 35th and State Street and because his tooth was aching decided to have it drawn by the "painless" method so blatantly advertised by their electric signs. He went in and an old man dentist examined his mouth and turned over the "patient" to another more younger and fitted to the task of "painless" extraction a la Boston, which seems from all accounts the hospital route for the patient in the end.
Breaks Off Tooth
The young man made an attempt and then three more, and at each attempt only broke the tooth off nearer the gum. Each vain attempt disproved in no uncertain manner the glaring signs which said "painless" dentistry, as Robinson experienced the most excruciating pain at each attempt of the "young" dentist. The young man then, according to Robinson, trained the patients over to the old man dentist and he had his fling at the now lacquered jaw of Robinson, but to no avail, and Robinson had to cry quits on the operation, as he was blinded and faint from the pain.
Jim Crowed at Downtown Office
Jim Crowed at Downtown Office
The South Side "painless" dentists then sent Robinson to their downtown office and, according to Robinson, as others, he was shunted off into a side waiting room evidently arranged for "colored people only" and compelled to wait upon the convenience of the dentists who were evidently engaged with white patients. The expert dentists then locked the tooth and told Robinson that his tooth was too broken and gums too sore for him to try it and that he had better go home and come back next Monday, that is, five days hence. This advice was given despite the fact that his gums were sore and lacerated.
Paid for His Experience
He had paid $1.00 for the half extraction and then was compelled to go to a colored dentist to get the proper treatment of the tooth and to be free from "Jim Crow" reception rooms.
Bishop Tyree Dies
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 18. Bishop Evans Tyre of the A. M. E. Church, died at his home here on Monday. Bishop has for many years been a prominent figure in the activities of the A. M. E. Church and was one of the strongest characters on the bishop's bench.

Last Chapter of Wierd Tale of Blood Money and Wild Women Ends in Death of Spectacular Character
Murder culminated the final act in a tragedy played in the flat of Cleo Weir, white, 31 E. 28th St., Apt. Q, when she shot and fatally wounded Robert Anderson, a well known character in Chicago's black and tan underworld. The shooting occurred early Saturday evening in the presence of two other women (white). and another male companion, who composed the death party in the Weir woman's fateful apartment.
Information obtained through underworld channels paint a weird picture of blood money and sordid social conditions. It appears that Anderson had been receiving money from a white woman whose only name obtainable was Ada. Previous to his friendship with Ada, Anderson had been known as an intimate friend of the Weir woman, who had an apartment in the American building, 28th St. and Wabash Ave., which she later closed to come to live with Anderson at the 28th St. address.
Associates of the slain man say that he received large sums of money from Ada on the strength of his protestations that he had broken off from Cleo Weir.

To Whom Does the
Child Belong?
Julius Underwood, 3206 Forest Ave, appeared before Judge Kickham Scanlan last Thursday morning, asking for the custody of his wife's child, and charging his wife, Mrs. Odessa Underwood, 3022 Cottage Grove Ave., with desertion and adultery. Mrs. Susie Johnson, mother of Mrs. Underwood, came from Birmingham, Ala., to testify in behalf of her daughter. According to testimony offered by Mrs. Johnson, the child was born one month before the marriage of Underwood and his wife. In spite of this fact, Underwood presumed that the child was his, until it developed in court that at the time of the birth of the child, a man was in jail for assault upon Mrs. Underwood.
The court decreed that the child should remain in custody of its mother. Underwood was represented by Atty. Sol. Clanton, and Mrs. Underwood was represented by Atty. Lawrence A. Newby.
"HANDS THAT DO THE WORK"
"HANDS THAT DO THE WORK"
Upon the door of the New York Dental Parlors, they of "painless methods," appears a gold-painted hand with this inscription beneath it: "Hands That Do the Work." The door upon which this sign is painted opens into the museum, now in process of completion, which the New York Dentists will introduce into the South Side. This museum, it is said, will contain specimens of human interest. It will not contain something, however, that the public should know about. Anyway, the sign reads, "Hands That Do the Work," and it appears in gold letters. We have heard some people state that those hands caused them untold suffering and some financial misery. We know that those gold hands will do one thing and do it well, and that extract many good dollars from black people. We also know that the hands of the main establishment wave Negroes into a small segregated room at their main establishment at 135 S. State St. Yes, they segregate you.
Great White Way in the Black Belt—At the corner of 35th and State Sts, that miniature white way, lights flash and dance, and huge electric signs scream their wares to the hosts of good people who chance to pass, mostly colored. At 3457 S. State St. the New York Dentists ply their trade, and have stretched a large sign diagonally across the busy corner in order that the world may know how to reach them. The signs spell "Dentists," and the little window screamers spell promises of painless methods, etc. None of these signs state that they segregate negroes in their downtown establishment, and that they have several suits pending against them for malpractice.
To Build Hospital
PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 18.—A committee of prominent citizens headed by Dr. Dudley G. King and Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins, is making a strenuous campaign to raise $75,000 for the purpose of opening the first hospital operated by our group in western Pennsylvania.

charge that he was still on Tuesday terns with Cleo Weir, and had not returned to his old love, but had given her $15 of the money she (Ada) had given him. This Anderson denied.
To prove his break with Cleo Weir, Anderson called a taxicab and took Ada with him to force a denial from Cleo. Arriving at the residence of Cleo Weir, he went to her apartment and broached the subject. Cleo is said to have denied that she said that she had said that the $15 given her by Anderson was Ada's money, but admitted that Anderson had given her $15. Her admission of this fact aroused Anderson's anger. He struck her, knocking her down, and attempted to strike her again, when she escaped and ran to her dresser drawer and secured a pistol. Pointing the pistol at Anderson, she pulled the trigger, but the gun missed fire, and her first effort at murder failed.
"Fire Again; You're Not Game"
Evidently not believing her intention to shoot him, Anderson shouted, "Fire again; you're not game." The Weir woman fired the second time this time with deadly effect, the bullet striking him in the abdomen.
At this juncture two members of the death party, whose names are withheld, made good their escape. Ada rallied to the situation, called a taxicab, and conducted the wounded man to the Provident hos-pital.
He died Sunday afternoon. Cleo Weir made no effort to escape, but waited calmly until the police arrived. She was held by the coroner's jury on a charge of murder. Anderson is said to have been married several years ago to a Miss Hazel Hutchinson, of St. Louis, who now resides in the vicinity of 41st St. and Indiana Ave.
PHILADELPHIA MINISTER
LOSES SLANDER SUIT
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 17,—Rev, Charles Blackwell, pastor of the Central Baptist Church, 29rd and Lombard streets, this city, last week brought suit for slander against one of his former *p* istants, the Rev. Pinckney P. Samue. The pastor said that Mr. Samuels reflected on his integrity in the administration of the church funds in the presence of a congregation of 200 or more people. The defendant based his charges on reports brought him by several members of his congregation. The verdict was rendered for the defendant.
Second Murder Blamed On Feud
MONROE, La., Nov. 18.—The body of Bynum Gray, a respectable citizen of this community, was found riddled with bullets almost in the identical place where Richard Nelson mysteriously met his death several weeks ago. Gray's body was found at Calhoun, Onachita Parish. It had been penetrated by three loads of buckshot. Leeman Crawford has been arrested technically charged with the murder.
Suitor Shoots Sweetheart
LOUISVILE, Ky., Nov. 17.—Unrequited love caused B. Morris, aged 50, to shoot and seriously wound Miss Florence Paxton, aged 30, 436 S. Tenth St, of this city. Miss Paxton was removed to the City hospital in a precarious condition.

Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures. In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils.
Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures. In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils.
The South is extremely anxious to have Negroes to return. The slump in production and the price of cotton and the neglected crops are worrying the Rulers of Lynchland into nervous frenzies. These frenzies are expressed by insults and Lynching Bees. This action will cause negroes to remain eternally away from Dixie.
Georgia was determined to bar colored women from the polls. In accomplishing this unsavory task many white women were likewise denied the privilege and right given them by the Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the constitution. This travesty upon justice and this utter disregard for the laws as laid down by the constitution of the United States of America should be dealt with summarily.
Wendell Phillips High School, one of the largest and most renowned high schools in the country, is patronized almost entirely by colored students. It is the only high school in the city of Chicago that is not represented by a football team. Either the Athletic association is eaten up with checkers and other indoor sports or the other teams will not tolerate an aggregation of colored youths upon the gridiron. In either case something is radically wrong and a general shakeup is needed.
In the mad scramble for political jobs many Uncle Toms are loudly crying: Here are we, Lord, send for us. If the jobs that will emanate from the ingoing administration are distributed upon the basis of intrinsic value and real merit the clamoring Uncle Toms will get nothing.
In the last election the Bloody Shirt of the Civil War was waved so arduously by the Southerners that one would think that the Flag and Union was only meant for the Yankees. The South is not so charitable as the Germans are to Allies who are already sending Exchange Professors to Old Enemies of a few days ago.
TO THE YOU KNOW
'EM EDITOR
Say, you know that society lady who danced and flirted so audaciously while her husband was offering his life's blood on Flanders' fields, think now, you must know her, because she is not a bit more careful in her actions with a certain policeman than she was before he returned. Watch your step, you will lose your reputation and your husband.
I know you know that professional man who left here on the Golden State limited, who was met at a little town just a few miles away from here by his little sweetheart who joined him in his trip. Nosey missed the train by just a few seconds, and owing to the condition of his exchequer, was unable to hire a taxi, but look out, the You Know 'Em Editor saw them.
I know you know that married man out in the neighborhood of 47th St., who is playing high jinks with the "high yallers" of the younger set. Well, if you know him, you tell him to look out, because that New York doll won't stand for that sort of foolishness, and she often slips in here unaware to him. Calm yourself, old boy, and get your bearings.
I know you know that organization of pickpockets. I mean that unobstructed association of light-fingered gentry. Well, if you do, just tell them that one of their number got his arm broke last week. He put his hand in a policeman's pocket. Be careful boys, there are a lot of strange cops around now.
You know this cold weather, well if you don't, just ask the Jackson Loan & Diamond Co. They say the chilly winds have blown numbers of the boys in for funds.
You know those home brew makers, well tell them to take the war tax off. The war's over, y'know....
You know that lady who shot the pastor, well she threatened to shoot the newspaperman who put her name in the paper. Well, if she wouldn't do such things, her name wouldn't be in the paper, and if she makes that threat again, a warrant will be taken out for her arrest.
You know those bankrupt tailors, Tom Williams, Ed Green, and Stetton, "The Square Tailor," well did you know that they all went bankrupt the same day, hour, and minute? Well, old Lofts pnt that bankruptcy scheme through again. Who got bit this time?
Do you know those two ladies who got into a fight the other day on 30th St., well one of them certainly does know how to pull off wigs. When the hat and wig were puffed off at the same time together, the bare and baldheaded one ran and stuck her head in an ashean under the "L."
You know that cow's fluid called milk, good for babies, both young and old, well did you know they charge 10c for a glass of it in a certain restaurant—I mean they charge a thin dime. Stop thief, let go my pocket-book.
You know those painless dentists, those sporty boys, who ride around in Piercemobiles, well they say they are going to put the WHIP editors in jail for talking about the painless way they extract gold, not from your mouth, but from your pocket. Well, Nosey heard the editors say they weren't going to pull any McSwine, but they are going to back out of jail and do some more exposure.

"No citizen shall be prohibited from doing anything that any other citizen may do on account of race or color."
May these words so simply stated yet so comprehensive in their scope be safeguarded in their entirety and be jealously watched lest in the interim clapsing before they become part of the basic law of Illinois, some harm befall them.
The Third District of Illinois gave us Edward H. Morris, delegate to the constitutional convention, Father of the above mentioned Civil Rights Bill, and promises to give us for the first time in the history of the state, three representatives in the General Assembly at Springfield in the persons of Warren B. Douglas, Adelbert H. Roberts and Morris Lewis. With S. B. Turner, from the First District we have all told four members of the race—all good men and true—to stand "on guard" and to see to it that this latest child of the brain of the able Ed Morris is not mutilated beyond recognition or ruthlessly slain in the storm that is sure to center about it when the new constitution drawn up by the members of the Constitutional Convention is submitted to the General Assembly of the State of Illinois.
It is such men as these that the race is fortunate to have in "high places" during such crucial times as now obtain.
Dr. Wm. F. Garnett, 4336 Forestville Ave., for twenty-five years or more a resident of Chicago, is a man whose attainments should not be mantled by a smoke-screen of silence Too often the spot-light of publicity is thrown on the unworthy but we have no place for such in this column.
Dr. Garnett, unpretentious though he is, is not only possessed of a most lucrative practice in his chosen profession but of considerable property as well, which stamps him at once as a substantial citizen.
It is not for this alone, however, that I would laud him, but for those inherent qualities, expressed in intellectual force, commanding presence and a charming personality that mark him as a man amongst men. Added to these estimable qualities is an intense love of race and an earnest desire to help his people to secure "a place in the sun."
Dr. Garnett is a born leader and the Third Ward is proud to acknowledge him as such.
Dr. P. Chas. Downs, 3454 Indiana Ave., is an artist in the use of the instruments of his profession. By their skilful use he managed to relieve the injured hand of the "Official Booster of the Whip" of a considerable amount of finely shattered glass which became imbedded therein last Monday evening as a result of a street car accident. Dr. Downs is a "first aid" expert.
Now that the women have the vote they propose to use it with telling effect. Already such leaders amongst
"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL
O
EVERY NIGHT at about 11:45 that aged and decrepit spouse (or rather "souse") of the very satisfiable society lady saliasses forth to get some ice cream. Well, Nosey saw him try to induce a stunning little girl in fox turs to accompany him to the ice cream parlor. Nosey did not hear what he said, but his invitation must have stated something about things other than ice cream because the little lady wielded her umbrella and forced the old gent to heat a hasty retreat back to his Grand Blvd, residence, without the ice cream. Nosey found out yesterday that he told his wife that he slipped and fell on 37th St. Maybe he did "fall." They say that they all "fall" sooner or later, but the old gent seems to "fall" every night that he goes out for "ice cream."
NOW and then Nosey looks into folk's faces to see if he can find any character there. He saw some character on Grand Blvd. last week while between 35th and 37th Sts. on the west side of the block. Bad character is what he saw. It was just the faces of those dissipated sots who frolic and revel all night long and sleep during the golden hours of the day. Nosey sees them every night easing along the street as they cautiously leave those houses of ill or doubtful repute that the police authorities have been closing one eye to as they pass. Pale, painted, powdered women with blank brazen stares on their faces and cold glassy eyes that peer at you as if from a mask. Nosey knows that their souls
are dead, Trailing along with them are their paramours, escorting them with dog-like fidelity. You have seen the paramours with their eye rims all red, cheeks pale, powdered and sunken and the inevitable lines of dissipation drawn all over their countenances. Stand on Grand Blvd. any evening between 7.30 and 8 and see human nature as Nosey sees it.
OH, YES, Nosey dropped in to the Armistice Ball at the Eighth Regiment last Thursday, all dolled up in his light grey suit. Nosey looked good because one of Chicago's trained and experienced "vamps" told him so. Well, Nosey was dancing one of "Chicago's own dances and had to listen to a lady trying to convince a handsome (that is, he was handsome in his uniform) lieutenant that she was only twenty-two years old. Nosey heard her use the same arguments to a dozen different young men in New York some fifteen years ago and the lady certainly was not ten years old then. Even Uncle Eph states that she used to give him pennies to put in Sunday school. She certainly must have had a drink at the "tountain of youth". Nosey knows where her birth certificate is hidden, but will not disclose it if she really gets fun out of the little game.
SAVE ME! MURDER! POLICE! were the cries that greeted Nosey as he turned the corner of Wabash and 37th St. Nosey thought that a million morons had broken loose, but it turned out to be only a "gold tooth" holdup. Two husky burglarhs had just held up one of the State Street "strollers" and in her freight her gold set of teeth "chattered" out. The burglarhs asked her where she had set a set of teeth made and she had told them at those "gold teeth dentists" of painless fame at 35th and State St. The burglarhs pushed her "gold" teeth back into her mouth and told they were no good to them as they wanted real gold. They took the poor girl's sweater and pocket-book containing 20 cents and a telephone slug and left her to call for help which she did. Nosey thinks he will invest $2,000 in a set of those teeth. If you can't eat with them at least make the burglarhs leave you alone.
YOU SHOULD have gone with Nosey to the police station and seen the cabaret "queen" who has been arrested for murder. Such a study is seldom afforded one as the face of this once gay and light-hearted girl who was so often seen at the cabarets and places of amusements "along the Stroll." Deep lines are on her face now and little crow's feet appear at the corner of her eyes. It was a picture which tells all of the sordid story of the life of the bright them as Mrs. Blanche Gilmer, Mrs. Johanna Snowden-Porter, Mrs. Irene Goins, Mrs. Lindsey Davis, Mrs. Olivia Bush-Banks, Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, Mrs. Edmondson, Mrs. Nell Callaway and others, have by their earnest efforts in behalf of "Our Women," aroused them to a sense of their responsibilities as citizens. Now is the psychological moment for these able women to pool their varied abilities so that their individual influence might be welded into a unified effort for civic betterment.
You have paved the way. The women of Chicago are eager to come into their own. Harness their enthusiasm into channels of constructive action while it is at high tide. Wage a campaign of education as to the use of the ballot and ballot rights. In the past you have struggled bravely on neath the double burden of SEX and COLOR—and achieved much.

THE CHICAGO WHIP Facts---Not Fancies By A. N. FIELDS
A survey of exchanges of Southern white dailies indicates an active propaganda which is being systematically spread throughout the South to discourage the Negro in his migration from Dixie. This propaganda assumes various phases; oftimes editorials appear admonishing the colored man that his friends who are migrating to Northern cities are face to face with dire distress. A case in point, the Savannah (Ga.) News, Friday, Nov. 5, published a double column editorial, headed, "The Negro Returning."
The regular appearance of editorials such as was carried in the Savannah News in daily papers throughout the South, leaves us safe in concluding that there is a definite, organized understanding existing between Southern newspaper with the sole purpose of spreading propaganda calculated to discourage further migration.
In the editorial mentioned (and all are alike), the writer says that during the last two summer months a quarter of a million Negroes have come North and East, and foolishly concludes that these Negroes were encouraged to settle in certain states for the purpose of voting the Republican ticket in the presidential election. In this conclusion, the Savannah News (as most Southern newspapers) reasons from a basis void of facts, and shows a remarkable ignorance of election rules and regulations in the North and East.
In another paragraph the writer adds that the Negros desire for a larger social outlet (meaning, or course unrestricted contact with whites) has lured our people to seek the East and North. In this conclusion is another glaring misapprehension of the real cause for the Negro's forsaking the land of his birth to explore new fields and acclimate himself to new environments. The thinking colored man who is leaving the South for the North is forced to do so because of a desire to protect himself and his family against the economic slavery of the South as well as against the cruel invasion of his family life by the brutal social environment characteristic of the forced attention by Southern whites upon colored women.
No Return Noticeable
We are unable to ascertain from what source the Savannah News gets its facts and figures that a quarter of a million Negroes have returned South in recent weeks. A casual glance over statistics published by railroads and chambers of commerce justifies the assertion that the Savannah facts as to the number returning is as baseless as its cause is for their return.
The News also says that the war has had its effect on all classes. This is true. It has awakened the Negro as it has other races; 60st, as to the value of his services, second, as to the just compensation. Which he should receive for the same. It has also
lights, sustained jazz, cocktail, dance and laughter without a care. Now a murder charge is hanging over her head which is bowed in remorse over her hasty act of vengeance. Oh, Nosey does so much wish that he could take a great number of the little "butterfly-girls" that he sees in the cabarets to that cell and let them read the story that is written on the face of this "queen" of the cabarets.

attracted his attention to the fact that there is no natural environment for mankind, such as the News mentions, except that it is natural for a man to aspire to the highest heights attainable in his efforts to achieve success. This, of course is in contradistinction to the teachings of the South, which attempt to lay out as the natural environment in which the Negro should live, the ante-bellum South.
No Scarcity of Work
The Savannah News seeks to frighten Negroes into saying South by representing a scarcity of work in the North and East. This disposition on the part of the News to throw this frightful picture on the green has for its object a specific purpose, and that purpose is to rehabilitate the South in the agricultural world through the return of the very people who for a half-century have been robbed of their rightful earnings by Southern planters.
The assertion that work is, becoming scarce in the North cannot be substantiated as a matter of fact. It is readily admitted that certain large corporations are dispensing with some of their employees, but the records show that five-sixths of these employees were pursuing technical and scientific work, but that the laboring classes are still being retained in greater numbers than before.
The News also says that in this return, the Negroes are serving themselves best. How can this be true? A man can never serve himself best by leaving economic freedom to groan in economic slavery, nor can he serve himself best by leaving an environment where his children can be raised and schooled in at atmosphere of equality before the law to return to a community where he has no standing in the eyes of the law.
If there is really an honest desire on the part of the Savannah News to determine these facts in the light of the truth, their investigators need only to make a short visit to a locality in their immediate vicinity, for instance, to Orlando, Fla., where it is reported that from 30 to 60 Negroes were killed on election day. There he will find that practically every Negro in the county has turned his face North. If the Negroes from the vicinity of Orlando, Fla., have not gone to Northern or Eastern states, they certainly must have left the United States entirely, for they have certainly forsaken the South.

THE GRAND
Well, it is here, the much heralded show, "Bamboula," with the race's leading artists, Whitney and Tutt. It is really a Jazzman Operetta, whatever that is, and is full of pep and jazz throughout. Prof. Lowling, a musical fanatic, after hearing the first four bars of Bamboula, an ancient African melody, not knowing from whence the melody originated, conceived the idea of tracing its origin in order to prove that the Africans, as other people, have contributed to music of the world. It is indeed very interesting and the music and Tutt have staged a real production and success should be the reward for their bringing to the public such stupendous production. A review in detail will be made in the next issue. The show will remain four weeks.
THE MONOGRAM
The Famulus Bruce and Bruce Stock Co., with their pretty chorus, is playing to packed houses at Miller's little playhouse. They are putting over a fine clean show and don't fail to see it, as a rare treat will be missed.
With the Actors.
Town Top-piks, with Gulfport and Brown, will leave next week for New York City, opening at the Lafayette theater and the entire quality circuit to follow.
Henry (Teenan) Jones is about ready to leave his bed. His condition is much improved.

Jack Trotter, the New York theatrical writer, is having a great success with his magazine.
Stafford and Davis are laying off in Chicago this week. The boys are some hoofers.
Leon Diggs and Andrew Trible are with My Friend From Dixie playing the cast.
Shelton Brooks and his Canary Cottage Co. closed last week at Norfolk, Va.
The Smarter Set people have outdone any show in the past when it comes to scenery and costuming some fine effects.
Bob Russell, the famous comedian and producer, will soon be seen on the Stroll with a big company.
Will Marion Cook writes that the going is good on the other side of the pond.

Advices to the theatrical world come from Thompson brother to Dekovker Thomson.

son, well known composer of this city, as the foremost American baritone in Europe at the present time Creighton Thompson, who is Chicago's own baritone, is at present engaged on a six months contract at the Coliseum, London's largest vaudeville theater, and has just completed a six months contract at the Apollo Theater, Paris, where he took the French capital by storm.
When Creighton completes his present contract at the Coliseum he will tour Europe for forty weeks, singing in the principal theaters of the continent.
Sang for Pathe and Victor—
Mr. Thompson has sung a number of songs for the Pathe Record Co., and for "His Master's Voice" the English Victor Co., and holds the unique distinction of being the only colored man who has ever sung classic music for a standard reproducing company. He reproduced his brother's song, "Some Day Will Never Come," for Victor. Creighton Thompson, by virtue of his triumphs in Europe, and his entry into the field of high-class reproducing companies, is being acclaimed by American and European critics as the foremost Negro baritone of the world.
"SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE"
The attraction for Thanksgiving week at the Avenue will be "Seven Keys to Baldpate," George M. Cohan's dramatization of Earl Derr Bigger's novel of the same name. That alone is enough to assure its success, for it's a rare combination, and one that is certain to prove an interesting bill for the followers of the Lafayette Players.
The story of the play centers about a young novelist, William Hallowell Magee, who is attempting to complete a novel within twenty-four hours on a wager, and his hair-raising experiences at Baldpate Inn, which he has chosen as the spot for his labors. Baldpate Inn is situated at a lofty mountain, and at the time of our story, the dead of winter, is inhabited only by a caretaker and his wife. Magee is supposed to possess the only and original key to Baldpate—but after he arrives there and starts in on his story six other keys make their appearance and divers individuals intrude upon his privacy, with a series of startling results.
Just as the audience believes it is all nicely figured out and the mystery solved, they find that their solution is all wrong, for the events which have been transpiring upon the stage have been but scenes from the novelist's story and Peter, the Hermit and the rest of the crowd but characters come to life. It's a rattling good bill, and one that will prove a real thriller. There will be a special Thanksgiving day matinee at 2:30 P. M.

MUSIC NOTES
By Mildred Bryant--Jones
The Chicago Music Association 1s es-
tablishing the scholarship—a most credit-
able effort. Goldie Guy will give a piano
recital on December l4th, at Grace Pres-
byterian Church, in the interest, of this
effort. Miss Guy is a talented young
woman, a recent hich school graduate,
whose efforts to further music study
should meet with hearty support, from
all musicians and those musically in-
clined.
The concert at Orchestra Hall on Fri-
day evening, November 25, under the
direction of Mrs. C. Wesley Jones, will
have as one of the special features the
organ playing of Melville Charlton, the
only Negro member of the American
Guild of Organists Mr, Charlton is or-
nist of the famous, “Little Brick
Ghurch” in New York City, and holds
other important posts in the music
‘world.

their object the intelligent understand-
ing and appreciation of orchestral per-
formances.
Hazel Harrison in Piano Recital
Hazel Harrison's. Piano Recital at
Kimball Hall on Friday evening, No-
vember 12th, gave proof positive that
she is in the front rank as a pianist of
broad intelligent technique, coupled with
musical fesling and interpostation of th
highest order. It is significant that the
daily papers in speaking of her recital,
with one exception, did not mention her
race, but gaye to her unqualifiedly that
merit of praise which was her just due
‘The vocabulary of the writer is beg-
gared for adequate terms in which tc
lexpress the real merit of Miss Harri-
son's art in giving forth clear, pure, ring-
ing tones, and in carrying out the un-
broken legato effect in melodic passages
In this she truly excels. There is grea
brilliance in her playing, too, as was
most plainly evidenced in the sparkling
Chopin. Scherzo, which was the number
most familiar ‘to her audience. The
weight of the program was of necessity
a physical strain on the performer, but
the ease and excellence of performance
made it no burden to the audience, but
‘on the contrary, a source of wonder an
delight throughout. Special mention
should be made of the playing of the
Bach-Bersoni “Toccata,” and the Liss!
“Fantasie.” Miss Harrison's alert and
‘capable fingers kept pace with her fertile
‘brain, and at all times kept the ideas of
the composers in front. Continued suc:
cess to this pianist—beyond doubt the
first of our race. and one of the first of
any race,
The large audience present at the con
cert given by the Johnson-Taylor-John-

his friends. ‘The writer reached the

How did he do it? is the query on
the lips of every politician in the Second
Ward and the Third Senatorial District
‘The cause of this one big question can
be laid at the door of Warren B. Doug-
las, who, in spite of the opposition of the
local “bosses,” masquerading under the
name of Mayor Thompson, led the local
ticket and succeeds himself as a member
of the Illinois Legislature,
Thanks Voters
‘As a member of the last General As-
sembly Mr, Donglas accomplished more
in an economic way for the race than
any of his predecessors. Douglas did
not listen to the "bosses.’ He carried
out the will of the people. Therefore he
was not endorsed by the so-called Regu-
lar organization. Most men would have
been afraid to attempt the run against
such organized opposition, but not Doug-
las. Like Theodore Roosevelt he said.
“Dhave served the people, and Tam xo
ing to ask them to send me back to the
Legislature on the strength of what |
have done for them. I have perfect faith
in them. Iam willing to abide by thei
decision, So far as the ‘bosses’ are con
cerned I don’t care what they do o1
think.” The aforementioned facts ar
sufficient to make one absolutely suri
that Mr. Douglas is sincere in his appre
ciation of the support given by the inde
pendent Republican voters,

Co-Operative Club Pays Dividend
The Co-operative Club, of which Alderman R. R.

The club has sold 1,600 shares at five dollars a share, total of $8,000, the same during the eight months of its existence and have only 400 shares for sale to complete their capital stock of ten thousand dollars. Their success is told in a very few words; with only $8,000 paid in, they own two stores valued at fifteen thousand dollars, with a liability of of only three thousand dollars and all within a period of less than nine months. This is positive proof that colored people can do real business with honest management by standing together like they have never stood before.
Million Dollar Building for Co-operatives
Dr. W. W. Lucas, who has been associated with the Co-operative Society of America for some time, has just been promoted to the position of Assistant General Superintendent.

The business of the organization is growing by leaps and bounds in a remarkable manner, according to Dr. Lucas. In an interview Dr. Lucas said: "This organization is doing great things. It is furnishing the solution to the high cost of living, and it is demonstrating the brotherhood of man by giving our people an even chance with other races."
Continuing, he said: "No other organization in the country; made up of the people of all races, is giving us a finer opportunity. We have increased our capital stock to $100,000. We have recently purchased a great warehouse on the Chicago river in Chicago, at the cost of $1,000,000 cash. We own a great products company that manufactures forty-one different products. "We have ninety-two stores in operation that did more than $200,000 worth of business in October. Among us alone there are 125 salesmen, six superintendents and twenty managers in my department, all making splendid money, and I desire 100 more people immediately."
Dr. Lucas states that his office will remain at South Park avenue and 33rd street.
Y. M. C. A. NEWS
The Religious Work Committee presented in the Auditorium, on last Sunday afternoon at 3:30, the first episode of "Satan's Scheme," a powerful dramatization of the Bible. There are three more weeks, and any part of the drama is full of inspiration. Those who were present last week were deeply impressed with the portrayal of God's handiwork, and the method used by Satan to rob man of his happiness.

The Indiana Avenue Branch of the Y. W. C. A. of Chicago gave a Setting-Up Conference on Nov. 6 in the Blue Triangle Club House. The conference lasted the greater part of the day, and was given for the purpose of outlining the business of the Girl Reserves for the coming year for the High School groups. The Junior Red Cross is a part of their service. The plan for service is to help the poor by giving baskets for Christmas and Thanksgiving and visiting the hospitals with flowers and simple tokens of cheer. The work along social lines will be hiking parties, skating parties, mothers and daughters teas, and open house on Saturday afternoon. The Girl Reserves are putting on a membership drive from November 14 to December 1. All teen-age girls are invited to come and join us. The Blue Triangle Club is open at all times to receive members.

COLORED BOYS STARS ON EASTERN GRIDIRONS
Shelburne of Dartmouth and Williams of Brown, two lads of dusky color, are carrying the pigskin for these great northern universities with great dexterity. Shelburne has been on the side lines for some time, but at last his merit has forced him to the front and he has dodged, side-stepped, stiff-armed himself into fame and honor. This elusive back has been prominent for the Mythical Order of All-American Eleven and surprise will come to all lovers of American sport if Walter Camp does not select him.
"Ink" Williams Tears Up Yale and Harvard
The eastern papers are giving Ink Williams great credit for the great game that he put up against Harvard and Yale. This boy was on the squad at the same time that "Fritz" Pollard displayed his wares. In the Yale game he played the entire game with bad' knee and his performance made the crowded stands yell with wild enthrallment. The ular work and many commented to the extent that it was Williams versus Yale.
Contrary to dope, Fritz Pollard's Lincoln University team went down in defeat to Hampton's mass of beef. It was a case of Greek meeting Greek—the best man won. Hampton uncorked a mystifying forward pass which seemed to bewilder the secondary defense of Pollard's stars. Long of Hampton made a 90-yard run for a touchdown which spelled defeat for the boys from Pennsylvania. Lincoln is saving up all of her reserve force for her game with Howard University on Thanksgiving day. Final score, 14-0.

TO HAVE BOWLING ALLEY IN VINGENNES HOTEL
Mr. Al Wilkerson has arrived in the little old town and is making his presence felt forthwith. He has secured a portion of the Vincennes Hotel for a first class Billiard Parlor and Bowling Alley. Mr. Wilkerson hails from St. Louis and being from the Show-me State is planning to show the people of Chicago something unique in the way of amusement of topnotch character.
Howard took charge of West Virginia College team and defeated them after a hard game at a small score of 7-0. Both teams fumbled frequently, but Howard seemed to have the edge on the boys from West Virginia. The West Virginians claim that this is the first game that Howard has won from them since they have been playing.
SOL BUTLER DISPLAYS RACE PRIDE
"Soil" Butler, the great and well known versatile athlete from Duhue College, and a member of the Olympic Team, has joined the Forty Club Basket Ball team. He has put his race ahead of his personal gain, by refusing to deliver his athletic prowess to some white athletic association. The latter organization always hammers the amateur athletic organization of our race by refusing them games. The Forty Club basketball team has the following former intercollegiate and interscholastic stars, besides Butler, on their team this year: Virgil Bluitt, all-high school forward from Lane; George Duff, all-State forward, from Normal College; Creed Bhardgreat, great Wilberforce University player; Robert Anderson, a former star of Incorporators; Thornton Winters, all-high school center; Englewood; Maurice Bowles, Wendell Phillips; Frank Legare and Leroy Carry, Maywood High School. This team is practicing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights at the Wabash Y, M.C.A. Gymnasium. They will make Chicago proud of them by winning the colored amateur basketball championship of the world. Their first game will be held at the Eighth Armory, Dec. 6, 1920, playing Emerson Y, M.C.A. Evanston, for the Illinois State championship. This event will be the greatest society affair of the season, as the Forty Club is noted for such gatherings, with Elgar's Orchestra to play the sweetest dance music known.

I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got some thing that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 205-G. M.

Poison Gas
Soldiers are still suffering from the terrible gases emitted during
the late World War. Many are incapacitated for further usefulness
in civil life. ‘The terrible yellow fumes that broke into the lungs of
the unfortunate still eats away, even though the gas itself was dis-/
charged from its infernal apparatus some time ago. Poisoned vapor
of the Great World War still continues on its death mission, but it
does not cut near so keenly, neither does it penetrate the system with
such deadliness as the fumes and vapors discharged from the cannons
of the Confedéracy.
‘The Civil War came to a tragic close some fifty years past. The
cannons ceased firing and the vanquished, unsung and unhonored,
turned homeward; yet the cannon and the smoke from Southern
battlefields still burns and stifles American civilization. The fire and
smoke from the South were intended to burn out freedom and to
stifle — The spirit of the Confederacy still survives. The!
South the veterans of that bloody fratricide, and the moulding
Frey uniforms are treasured, not as memorials of the “lost cause,”
as silent reminders of slavery and human chattel. The daughters
of the Confederacy still gaze upon “Old Glory” with a re-
served and qualified patriotism. The emancipation proclama-
tion ostensibly means to them the abridgement of the South’s
inchoat right to exploit black labor.
The smoke and fire of the Civil War continue to destroy com-
mon sense and vitiate fair play. The nostrils of the Northern Demo-
erats were so filled with this ancient stench at the last election that
they proved its terrible effects by decrying a great group of citizens
on’ account of their color and the unavoidable stigma of former,
slavery. The vapor. and poisonous fumes of the Civil War eat into]
men from the polls. Poison gas has intensified hatred in white Amer-
icans to such an extent that Negroes economically and politically are
being gradually pushed into a quasi-slave status. Negroes themselves
are filled with the poison gas of the Civil War to such proportions
that color issues between variegated members of their own groups
are becoming highly intensified. The color question is being forced
upon the Negro race because of the abnormal state of mind caused
by the vapors and fumes that rise from mouidering Southern senti-
ment.
‘If America would relieve herself socially, politically, and eco-
nomically from these effects, she must forthwith find a remedy for
the poison gas of the South. If the arbitrary line of demarcation
between the North and the South is to be forever stamped out, and
if America is to become truly a Union, some panacea must be found
for the terrible malady of Negro hatred, which eats into the vitals of
the Republic and threatens to throw it into pandemonium. This duty
falls not on any one great physician, but upon all good Americans
who would stamp evil and disorder from their homes.
We Are All The Same
Torrence McSwiney’s hunger strike and subsequent death has
caused worldwide comment. Friends of and foes of the Irish cause
are unstinting in their praise for the man who was willing to die for
& cause he thought righteous and just. The act of this martyr has
brought additional respect to the sons of Ireland.
‘American newspapers have taken advantage of McSwiney’s
heroic act to further impress the American Negro that such manly\
qualities are only possessed by members of the white race. This kind
of propaganda is not new. In the past it has done great harm to the
colored American. It has withered his ambition and ripened him for
slavery and exploitation. ‘4
In this case it has an entirely different effect. The rational
minded Negro, instead of accepting without question such distorted
truth, has pondered and compared. Thus the singular heroism and
nobility of McSwiney’s sacrifice is lessened. McSwiney was an edu-
cated man. There is a probability of him having a slight belief that
British authorities would yield to moral pressure from without and
within and release him from prison. Surely he had the case of Sylvia
Pankhurst and others who had been released upon which to predi-
cate such a belief.
Hundreds of Boers before the precipitation of the Boer war
went on hunger strikes. They were untutored. They had no reason
to believe that they would be released. They were black men. After
years of abject slavery and oppression black men of San Domingo
voluntarily suffered death three ways more excrutiating than Me.
Swiney. Modesty makes us loath to mention the men- of this type
that the American Negro has produced. Every Negro who has lived
below’th® Mason and Dixon line and dared to stand for full man-
hood rights is qualified to be classed as a martyr.
To be more definite we cite the recent case of Julius Perry of
Orlando, Florida. He had never experienced even quasi liberty or
freedom. It is needless to say that he was devoid of training. He
had only a simple desire to exercise his God-given constitutional
et to vote. From his oppressors there came a protest. He knew
‘well an attempt to override this protest would cost him his life.
‘The manhood and courage of his forefathers, hitherto dormant in his
blaek breast, inspired him to choose death rather than slavery. If
there is such thing as degree in martyrdom, a slight glance at the cir-
‘cumstances incident to Perry’s death and that of McSwiney would
make Perry a few degrees greater. martyr than MicSwiney.
_ A continued perversion and distortion of truth by the whita
press will doubtless cause the American Negro to lose confidence in
‘the white man’s sense of fairness. The I. W. W., alien emigrants,
Japanese enmity, places America in a position that she can ill afford
paige the confidence of her most loyal and dependable citizens. If
‘white race has such a superabundance of courage and stoicism
we trust some of it will be transfused into their editors, In the future
perhaps they will have the nerve to tell their readers that no race has
a womceaty ‘of courage, or anything else. Under like conditions we
are all the same.

Q.—I entered a pawnshop and at-
tempted to pawn an article, but the
pawnbroker told me to immediately va-
cate his place, or he would kick me out,
and break my head. Haye I an action?
A.—You have no legal remedy. | Mere
words never constitute an assault. Ii,
however, the pawnbroker made any ad-
vances toward you, or drew his. fist,
causing you to fear immediate violence,
an action for assault will lie, upon which
you can recover damages.
Q.—I purchased an automobile from
ja reputable garage, and now a prominent
doctor claims it is his stolen car. The
doctor has caused the sheriff. to seize
the car, and I am out of both my money
and my car: What legal action can I
pursue?
A-—If it is true that the car was
stolen from the doctor, you do not have
fa leg to stand on in court. A thief can
not convey title to stolen goods. You,
however, have an action against the gar-
age owner to reimburse you your :noney
‘Q.—While walking under the elevated
tracks an electric spark fell and struck
me in the eye, causing me serious pain
and trouble. What relief have 1?
A—You should immediately consult
a lawyer, and if the facts can be sub-
stantiated as you suggest in your letter,
you can recover damages from the ele
vated company. A typical case of that
kind occurred in New York.
Q.—I deposited $15.00 on a suit at a
credit store, and have been unable to
pay the balance, The suit was brand
new, and can be easily disposed of at
the same price it was offered to me, Can
T get my money back?
A—Under the ordinary circumstances
under which deposits are made for cloth.
ing to be called for later, you will for
feit your deposit if you do not take the
suit. If you had some special agrce-
ment to the contrary, you can get yout
money back.

THE WEEK’S BEST
EDITORIAL
RACE QUESTION IN CHICAGO
Chicago faces a race question. Never
before until the campaign of this year
was the colored situation in the city men-
tioned. Part of the candidates de-
clared, if elected, they would make Chi-
jeago white. During the World War
thousands of colored people in the South
were attracted to Chicago, and have be-
lcome permanent citizens, “They now oc:
leupy many blocks, and have become «
fixture in the great city. Their right is
such that no political wave can remove
them, no more than the race can be
removed from the South. It was through
‘no motive of theirs they came to Chi-
cago, and there they have a right to live
politics or no politics.
HEALTH HINTS. |
By Dr. Troy Smith
In our article of last week we consid-
ered the venereal diseases in groups, At
this time we wish to consider separately
one of the most “a
important and one .
Ghat is threatening
the human race.
This one is syph- € i
ilis, In view of the
fact that there are © bh ,

and 10,000,000 peo- ‘
ple in the United

concerning this disease, oyphim ts
a respecter of persons or races. It at-
tacks the rich as well as the poor, and
the white race as well as the Negro, The
idea put forth by the white doctors that
most all Negroes have syphilis and tu-
berculosis is absurd and not based upon
facts, In our observations at the clinics
we find in proportion just as many
whites suffering with syphilis as we do
Negroes, The fact is, that syphilis is a
white man’s disease, and it has been
transmitted to the Negro by actual con-
tact with him. We must admit that this
disease is damaging and weakening the
Negro race more than it is the white race
for two reasons: First, because it is a
new disease in a new race, and second,
because the Negro with syphilis is not
‘as careful about spreading the infection,
‘nor is he as persistent in carrying out
‘his treatments as his white brother.
| We wish to impress it upon your mind
‘that if you have ever had syphilis or a
primary chancre, which is the beginning
of this disease, you are not well until
‘your blood is negative, and the Wasser-
mann does not become negative until you
Ihave undergone a thorough, systeimaiie
‘course of treatment. Many persons be-
lieve that the disappearance of the pri-
mary sore, and the clearing up of the
skin, meanis_a cure of this disease, but
st is not. They should remember’ that
‘this disease gets into the blood, and the
germ may attack any organ in the body.
li you have neglected yourself, and al-
lowed this disease to get into your blood,
oitentimes it requires from eighteen
months to two years to clear up the
blood. On the other hand if, as soon as
‘the primary gesion appears, the proper
medical authorities are consulted, it may
be possible to decrease the course of time
to cure the disease. Remember that this
disease can be cured, and it is up t0 you,
if you have ever een’ infected, to get
cured, ia feat ee 9 al cares
are hd
that pret dentinal they are ie
ones to suffer the consequences of syphi-
‘ili which are manifold. ‘This disease
may manifest itself in many forms any
Itime after the primary lesion, It may
‘be months or years, but sooner or later
lopen sores, swollen glands, severe heall~
‘aches, rheumatic pain’, abdominal
cramps, repeated miscarriages, high
‘blood pressure, paralysis and insanity
may develop. About 40 per cent of all
cages of insanity are due to the aiter-
effects of syphilis,
Modes ai Infection: Syphilis may be
lin two forms, either congenital or se-
quired. By congenital syphilis we mean
parenitis that is born in a child. A father
that is infected with syphilis sirse gives
jit to the mother, and she in turn infects
her unborn child. Acquired syphilis is
almost always due to the infection of
the genital organs arising from impure
connection, Oceasionally eases are met
with in which the disease is acquired
innocently by direct or indirect contact
with syphilitic lesions, and then the pri-
jmary lesion is often located on some
jother part of the body. ‘Thus, the lip
may be infected as result of drinking out
‘of the same glass, or smoking the same
i, as a syphilitic patient, oF even by
‘kissing. In conclusion, we wish to urge
‘upon you carefulness. Many persons
have been infected innocentiypand as the
‘result of this infection has to undergo a
long course of treatment; or, if they
would not submit to this, they would
‘suffer the consequences of syphilis and
