POLLARD TELLS HOW LINCOLN LOST- Pg. 7. MACHINE GUN HURLS BACK MOB 1 ACQUITTED; 1 CONVICTED AT DULUTH TAG DAY SAT. DEC. 11 DO YOUR DUTY! KILL 1, HURT 50, TRYING TO STORM JAIL KILL 1, HURT 50, TRYING TO STORM JAIL Members of Mob Bring Dynamite Into Play Seeking Prisoner's Life BRISTOL, Tenn., Va., Dec. 8—One white man was killed and several seriously injured early Sunday morning when a mob of more than 500 men attempted to storm the jail at Wise, Va., a small town near here. The mob stormed the jail in an attempt to seize Tom William, who was charged with assaulting and robbing Creed Robinson, white, a merchant. The mob approached the jail with dynamite, it is said, but were repulsed with heavy losses when deputy sheriffs fired a volley from a machine gun into the midst of the rioters. Leader Killed Outright Tate. Blondell, a chauffeur, who is said to have been the leader of the mob, was killed outright. A feud has broken out between members of the mob and the authorities, and it is said that the mob has retired to mobilize and recruit new members, when it will make a new attack on the jail, determined to wrest the lone colored man from the hands of the law, although he has not as yet been given "his day in court." Mount Machine Gun Sheriff Corder has caused a machine gun of the type used against the Huns to be mounted in the door of the jail, with a field of fire which sweeps the town square, and has ordered his men to shoot to kill. GARVEY MOVEMENT GAINS GROUND GARVEY MOVEMENT GAINS GROUND Under the leadership of Mr. W. A. Wallace, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is rapidly gaining new friends and admirers. Already the local branch numbers over 4000, and many more are expressing new found interest in the movement. The organization has branches all over the civilized world, and is W. A. Wallace A. B. causing consternation among opposing leaders wonderful strength and power Dr. Eason Makes Wonderful Impression Dr. J. W. Eason, one of the big guns in the organization, by his appealing oratory and invincible logic, has aided Mr. Wallace in his efforts to an appreciable extent, and many cynics and seers have remained to pray when they came to the meetings to scoff. Mr. Randolph Smith, one of the field workers, is remaining in the city to assist in the Liberian construction loan. Mr. Smith is a forceful, passionate and convincing orator. 10.000 Members in a Few Months Mr. Wallace states that he hopes to line up at least 10,000 members in the next few months, and plans to make the local division rival the mother institution in New York. The eyes of the world are gazing upon the Garvey movement. Carry on! Carry on! is the slogan in Chicago, and the motto of the great institution is ONE GOD, KILLED IN CRAP GAME RAID KILLED IN CRAP GAME RAID LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 8- Polieman Jim Hansell, white, broke in upon a crap game here late last week, and when the inmates of the house blew out the lights, began firing indiscriminately. An unidentified man in the house was shot dead. Charge Partiality In Chicago Post-Office. What is charged by some as the dying gasp of the democratic administration in the mess it has made of the Chicago post-office situation is revealed in complaints made by female clerks. It is charged that two weeks ago an arbitrary order was issued compelling all colored female clerks to learn the post-office "scheme", while white women clerks were given clerical tasks which did not involve a knowledge of the "scheme". The colored clerks were then compelled to report for duty in the late afternoon hours and distribute mail until near midnight. White women clerks were still allowed to report at 8:00 a. m. This is said to be the case without exception. When a committee went to Asst. Supt. Gassman, of the Mailing Division, it is reported that he answered their portest by saying that the colored clerks were detailed to the night set and the white clerks to the day set, and there would be no change made. It is understood that the matter is being taken up with the Civil Service authorities at Washington. CALLS FRENCH BLACK TROOPS GENTLEMEN CALLS FRENCH BLACK TROOPS GENTLEMEN BERLIN, Dec. 3.—(Delayed)—While the rest of the world is voicing indignation against the French Republic for using Senegalese troops in the French army of occupation now on German soil, it remains for Germany herself to inform the uninformed and overzealous sympathizers "that the black troops from Senegal are gentlemen." A German woman, Frau Lilli Jannasch writing in the German magazine, "The Woman and the State," suggests that the present occupation by French black troops is far more bearable than the deportation of thousands of women and children from Lille, France, during the war by German troops. Frau Jannasch says: "I lived a whole year in occupied territory where colored troops were stationed. The authorities assured me that during the whole time there had been no attacks against women and children; in fact the black troops were popular, and many of them divided their meals with the children. On the other hand, has the world forgotten that during the war hundreds of French women perished because they were forced to continually submit to brutal attacks on the part of drunken German soldiers?" ALPHA PHI ALPHA TO MEET IN KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 8—Kansas City is preparing to entertain the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in this city at their 13th annual conclave, December 27-31. This will be the fraternity's first convention west of the Mississippi river. The fraternity meets in Kansas City at the special request of the Mayor of the city and the Chamber of Commerce. Among prominent speakers to be present are Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, and Atty. Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh. The general theme of the convention will be "American Citizenship as Related to the American Negro." The Chicago chapter, "Theta," will carry a special Pullman, leaving on the evening of the 26th for the convention. "Dead from Gunshot Wounds Inflicted by Unknown Persons" ALBANY, Ga., Dec. 8—"Dead from gunshot wounds inflicted by unknown persons," was the nonchalant verdict rendered by a coroner's jury over the dead body of Curly McKelvey found lynched near here last week. No investigation was or will be made. HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO BEAR THIS? 1 This picture shows how the Germans enslaved natives in German East Africa. Latest reports do not say that they are faring any better under British rule, nor has the much talked-of League of Nations come to their rescue. How long will the conscience of the world permit such scenes? The "Wheel Man" Gets 1 To 10 Years Dr. Elbert Robinson, 3233 State St., familiarly known as the "wheel man," was found guilty in Judge Fitch's court last week of operating a confidence game, and sentenced to serve from 1 to 10 years in jail. Robinson was charged with having collected more than $500,000 in three years for the purpose of carrying on litigation against the American Car & Foundry Co., who, he claimed owed him more than $13,000,000 for use of his patent "the hard iron wheel." Robinson's lawyers, Clanton & Clanton, immediately filed a motion for new trial, and Robinson was released under $10,000 cash bond pending the new move. Robinson collected most of his fortune from members of the white race it is said. PROBE GEORGIA NIGHTRIDERS ALBANY, Ga., Dec. 8.-Judge John R. Wilson, of the Dougherty County Superior Court has ordered the grand jury convened to investigate the recent reported lawlessness in the eastern part of the county where many families are said to have been driven from their homes by individuals known as the "Nightriders." Citizen Guard Fights Off Mob GOLDSBORO, N. C., Dec. 8—A night-guard of twelve citizens, specially sworn in for that purpose repulsed a mob attacking the Wayne County court-house here last week, intent upon lynching five colored men in jail charged with the murder of Herman Jones, rubite AND NOW COMES SAN DOMINGO COMPLAINING NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 8.—An interesting sequel to the exposure of Haitian atrocities came last week in a statement made by Dr. Heuriquez y Carvajal, former president of the Republic of Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo and Haiti both occupy the island of San Domingo and are often confused in the public mind. Dr. Carvajal speaking at a luncheon of the League of Free Nations said that a "treaty" similar to that imposed on Haiti had been forced upon Santo Domingo. Government Overthrown When the assembly of the Dominican republic refused to sign the treaty, he said, Admiral Knapp of the United States Navy, overthrew the government and deposed the president. Blames It on Wilsonism Dr. Carvajal said that his people had suffered much injustice at the hands of Americans, but through it all have felt that the acts of the Americans have been chargeable to President Wilson's "imperialistic administration," and have felt that when the sense of justice of the American people is aroused these wrongs will be righted. TEXARKANA WOMAN GIVEN TWO YEARS TEXARKA : Texas, Dec. 8.—Mrs. Matilda Vann, as convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court on the Arkansas side and sentenced to two years in the pen. She as convicted of killing another woman for alienating the affections of her husband. Mrs. Jack Johnson Retains Kestone Agency Wild rumors of every sort and description began to float around the Avenue Bldg, last Friday afternoon when Mrs. Jack Johnson, the white wife of Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, appeared with Jack's nephew, Gus Rhodes, and went into conference with Sheridan A. Brusseaux, principal of the Keystone National Detective Agency. When asked for a statement, neither Mr. Brusseaux nor Mrs. Johnson would consent to talk. It is confidently believed, however, that Brusseaux has been retained to investigate some startling phase of the married life of the ex-champ and his wife. ASK INVESTIGATION OF ELECTION DAY OUTRAGE NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 8—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Ass'n for the Advancement of Colored People, in a letter to Representative Isaac Siegel, chairman of the House committee on the census, has asked that the association be permitted to appear before the committee and present facts showing that colored people who desired to register in Southern States "were prevented from registering by force or chicanese, or by unjustifiable delay, and that those who had registered were prevented from voting in the same manner." Military Honors for Lynn Soldier LYNN, Mass, Dec. 8.-Private Frank K. Burrass, Co. C807h Pioneer Inf., who died in Brest, France, in 1918 was given a military burial here last week. The procession was headed by a platoon of policemen and firemen. Rev. Cassius A. Ward, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Boston, conducted the services. 5 CENTS PAY NO MORE ACK AT DU Dr. Leonard Lewis Passes Away. Dr. Leonard J. Lewis, aged 45, 3430 Vernon Ave., a prominent physician of the city, died at Los Angeles, Cal., Thursday, December 2, where he had gone in search of health. The announcement of his death was a shock to his family and many friends. He was well known both in the North and South. He was well and favorably known in the professional world, and enjoyed the unique distinction of having a host of friends in all walks of life. Through study and energy he obtained an enviable position in his profession, and enjoyed a lucrative practice. Dr. Lewis was also active in politics for several years. A. Member or "Old 8th" Dr.Lewis for a number of years was an officer in the old 8th Regiment, making the campaign on the Mexican border, but was compelled by ill health to leave the service as his regiment sailed for France. Funeral services occur Thursday afternoon from the Fountain Undertaking Establishment, 3336 Indiana Ave. A host of friends are paying the last tribute to the deceased. ADVISES NEGRO RECRUITS FOR BOLSHEVISM WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8. According to the text of his speeches received here in official dispatches from Russia, John Reed, late American radical and magazine writer, urged on Lenine and Trotsky the union of American Negroes with the radical elements of all nations to further the cause of world sovietism. Describing the position of the Negro in the United States as "something terrible," Reed declared that the Negro race in America offered a wonderfully fertile field for communist agitation. Reed further said that the communists must not stand aloof from the Negro movement for social and political equality which is developing rapidly at the present time among the masses. Reed told the Russians that despite his constitutional rights to the ballot, the Negro is killed if he dares exercise his rights, and that the use of separate schools, hotels, and theatres exist all over the United States. OMEGA PSI PHI IN ANNUAL CONCLAVE NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. 8—From Dec. 27 to 30, inclusive, Nashville will be the host of the Omega Psi Phi in its 9th Annual Conclave at the seat of the Delta Chapter, Meharry Medical College and Fisk University.

Woodson and Dr. E*.E Just Yale, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Penn State, Lincoln, and Howard Universities, and from as far west as the University of California. MANY FARMERS UNABLE TO PAY DEBTS HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Dec. 8-Many colored farmers in this section, made hopeless of paying their debts on account of the slump in the price of cotton, and the restraining activities of nightriders are forsaking their farms and leaving the cotton unpicked in the fields. It is foreseen that many farms will be idle next year. PRICE FIVE CENTS ASK TRIAL OF FIVE OTHERS AT ONCE ASK TRIAL OF FIVE OTHERS AT ONCE Convict One of Crime For Which Three Were Lynched Last Summer DULUTH, Minn., Dec. 8—Echoes from last summer's orgy of shame in Duluth were heard in Judge Nelson's division of the District Court here last week when Max Mason was found guilty of an offense for which three men ```markdown ``` a mob which took possession of this city on June 15. Max Mason, an employee of an itinerant circus W. J. Miller was found guilty of criminal assault on Irene Tusken, a 19-year-old white girl. The jury was out five hours. Miller Acquitted Two days later William Miller was tried for the same offense. The same witnesses made the same testimony as in the Mason trial, but Miller was found not guilty. Counsel for the defense contend that evidences of Miller's innocence, which resulted in his acquittal, are applicable alike to Max Mason, who was found guilty, and on these grounds are preparing to ask for a new trial. Mason was convicted on the word of Irene Tusken and her escort, James Sullivan, who swore that they were set upon by a party of circus employees, seven of whom were on trial, and three of whom were lynched, that Sullivan was held off at pistol point, while the Nelson girl was criminally assaulted When Sullivan and the girl went home, she went to bed without giving an alarm and without notifying her parents. Neither did Sullivan give any alarm other than to mention the alleged affair to his father. The next morning Sullivan's father telephoned to ask the Nelson girl's father about the assault. This was his first knowledge of the supposed outrage. Physicians Find No Evidence Upon examination by a Dr. Graham, the Tusken family physician, the doctor said he could find no evidences of rape, no tears, bruises, wounds or inflammation. When called upon to identify their assailants, neither the boy nor the girl was able to charge the crime to any of the employees, all of whom were lined up for inspection. Mob Lynches Three A mob of 5000 men then took possession of Duluth and lynched three men, one of whom, Isaac McGhie, has since been absolved from any connection with the crime, if any crime at all was committed. Five More to Be Tried In view of Miller's acquittal, and the evidence being the same in all cases, counsel for the defense is endeavoring to obtain a trial for all defendants at once, and to obtain a reversal of the verdict in Mason's case. Atty, F. L. Barnett, of Chicago, is in charge of the defense. FREE XMAS DINNER TO THE UNEMPLOYED Realizing that many are out of employment and that want will stalk grimly in Chicago during the Yuletide. Reverend G. W. Baber, Past Trinity Church, has started a drive for huge Christmas fund for those who will not be in position to provide for themselves. Reverend Baber is meeting the support of all of the Civic Institutions and all the organizations who have the inter- (Continued on page 6) UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man in a suit bending down to knock on a door. 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. Come back south! These are the admonitions of southern newspapers to colored people above the Mason and Dixon Line. It is well realized that the labor situation is unsettled in the north, and that many people are without work, but who is going back in the land of lynchings, race hatred and Jim Crow laws because of such inconveniences? Starvation is preferable to torturous murder and technical slavery. We are here to stay. We fear the southerners and their offers of charity. NOSEY WAS strolling by the "Baby Doll" Apartments, 37th and Vincennes Avenue, the other night when the still night air was pierced by the shrill and loud voices of two dusky "queens" in a violent argument. "You know I mean more to you than anyone on earth," chirped one Amazon to the other. Nosey paused for a moment. At that same instant in a nearby flat flew up and a head was poked through the window and a voice cried out, "Cut it out." Nosey recognized the face in the light of the window and saw it was the "good" doctor who really lives way out south near 50th Street. Just then the distant clang of the patrol wagon was heard. Nosey thought that discretion was the better part of valor and tucked his camera under his arm and "beat it" for other parts. He saw the "queens" move on the same warning. Nosey does not know why the good doctor was in the "third flight up" yet, but concluded it was a "late" case. Walter Camp will soon pick his All-American football team and, of course, the Colored football stars will not be considered. Football is a fighting game, and is one of the most virile of national sports. If All-American fighters were picked, notwithstanding the valor of the white regiments in the Army and the Palefaced Marines, the black wearers of the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Service medal would win a place. If Mr. Camp looks over the field of colored football talent, doubtless some "son of Ham" would win a place. The eyes of white men see the virtues of black boys dimly indeed. Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons is cackling and braying down in St. Louis to beat the band. He is afraid that someone will step on the toes of the white people whom he, leech-like, is ekeing a morbid existence out of. If the Cackler would get himself a salaried job in keeping with his ability the country would be rid of one of the most boisterous parasites that it has known since the phonograph was invented. Mrs. MacSwiney, the wife of the late Irish martyr, has landed upon the shores of America. She will continue to fight the British Rule of Tyranny and to espouse the cause of the Irish. This is the spirit that will in the end break the yoke that holds Ireland in subjugation. The Colored women of America will surely do well to study her procedure and much of their present lethargy will be thrown off. ON LAST FRIDAY night Nosey was waiting in the shadows of the buildings at 45th and Indiana for a car, and there shot by him a couple all tangled up. The woman was hanging desperately on to the man's hair (real hair, too), and he in all his six foot vigorous manhood was trying to break the frail brunette's deathlike grip with blows from his fists. Nosey never knew that a woman could stand such punishment before and when he recognized the stalwart gentleman he was surprised to see that it was the same man who at the city's most popular club stated in the loudest terms that "no gentleman would strike a lady." Maybe he wasn't striking the lady, but he gave the best imitation Nosey ever saw. Some things make you forget all of your loud protestations some times, and Nosey believes that a woman is one of those things. Will Dempsey fight the Smoke? This is the question that the Chicago Tribune asks in an editorial. Of course, the Smoke is a Negro—the redoubtable Harry Wills. No. Dempsey is afraid of the Smoke. Dempsey is discreet, and well that he should be if he respects his neolithic features. The editorial states that the Negro is closer to the gorilla than the white man, and should be a better two-fisted fighter. Let some look at the receding forehead of Dempsey, and his beetle eyes set in an expressionless face, and then look at the aquiline features of Wills and his intellectual head. Dempsey will be seen to resemble the gorilla more closely. Pugilism has developed into a science, and strange to us that Negroes are so much better in the science than their "superior brothers." WORMWOOD. SUNDAY MORNING seems to be a good day for the chickens to get together, and it looks like the "roosters" get in the gang, too. Nosey was standing blinking on the corner of 35th and Grand Blvd, when along came one of the prettiest little brown skinned chickens Nosey had ever seen. She went up Grand, looking around to see who was on the street at nine in the morning. She hesitated near some other chickens which were cackling behind their glass windows. The little brown "chicken" stopped and then disappeared, and Nosey wondered where she had gone. Twenty-five minutes later the same little "chicken" came out of a store on 35th street. Nosey had been watching all of the time. Now he is wondering how that "chicken" got from Grand Boulevard into that store on 35th Street without coming out again on Grand Boulevard. You can't tell anything about these "chickens" anyway. Do You Want Money?

"Well, thash all I got, you old robber." crooned the husky voice of the other in her "liquid" tones. Nosey could not see, but when the argument grew to a high pitch he poked his long nose around the corner of the apartment house and instead of seeing a daring hold-up scene, he saw that it was one of the occupants of that popular Grand Blvd. Flat returning from a long journey, and was contesting the large taxi bill. Suitable adjustment was made, because that taxi driver would never have left without a fight or the money or some very good promises. Nosey knows just what he got, and it wasn't money. Clever kid—what? YOU CAN never tell what will come to you if you wait. Nosey was waiting for a "friend" near the corner of 38th and Indiana Ave. 1st that Illinois was admitted as a state in the year 1838. 2nd that after 82 years we have opened the first and only Negro Loan and Diamond Bank in Illinois. 3rd that you could not do justice to yourself or family if you failed to take advantage of our wonderful bargains in Jewelry. 4th that we have 500 gold filled 7 jeweled Bracelet Watches to sell at $7.50 each. — Other bargains equally as low.

A window went up. A loud laugh was heard and then came the crashing of glass right at Nosey's feet. Then there came to Nosey's nostrils that soothing odor that is rather hard to get now with the scarcity of prescriptions and the High Cost of Liquor. Nosey looked at the glass fragments, the crumpled label and the wee spot of liquid on the pavement, and then raised his eyes to that half-opened window of the third flight up, and wondered if someone had recognized his light gray suit and brown overcoat and sought to have fun at Nosey's expense. Well, if that was the case, Nosey gives fair warning that he can make it very difficult for those people to get anything except bread and water, because a certain judge is friendly with Nosey and rather hard on those who put a war tax on beverages that never saw government inspection. To The You Know 'Em Editor You know those women who wait until the day before Christmas to do their shopping, or in other words, wait until they see what they are going to receive from other people before they give anything. I know you know them. Well, you tell them that they might as well shop early this year because their names are not on your list. Say, I know you know that young lady who was exiled from a city in Michigan because of her close association with certain sons of Israel. I know you know her because she seems to be getting along alright, which shows it is never too late to do good. You know those loud talkers, I know you know them, because they are found in every public place and conveyance that you enter. Well, since you know them, tell them for us that their ability to use their lungs is no evidence that they can use their heads when it comes to thinking. I know you know the large aggregation of "moonshiners" who have lately opened up on the South side and are doing such a flourishing business. If you don't know them now, you will know them soon because Judge Landis has determined that there shall be more "sunshine" and less "moonshine" in the future. Of course, you don't know Miss Gertie Baxter in the Avenue Building Well, she deserves your sympathy. A dainty little box of exceptional sentimental value was stolen from her and do you know it contained ten dollars of her church's money? In her efforts to find the little box she sought the aid of the Keystone Detective Agency. She was told to call Main 13, as Brusseaux was too busy shadowing Lloyd George. I know you know him. I know you know the what is supposed to be "the world's greatest orator." I mean the spurious "Colonel" Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons. I know you know him because he may have gotten one of your fifty cent pieces for his windjamming, meaningless splutteration of words which he calls lectures. Well, he has finally got a medium through which he can spread his infantile views on the race questions and his superiors in intelligence. Well, Robinson is alleged to have said that he doesn't know whether he has sold his paper or not as mere promises do not necessarily mean money with some people. The Clarion is alright but Cackling Simmons is a heavy load for anybody. If you don't believe it ask Brother Abbott. He'll tell you that The Defender had to drop him and The Defender is "the world's greatest weekly." I know you know Phil Brown Everybody knows he is a capable and efficient publicity and newspaper man Well, it seems that he has supplanted another newspaper man in the reportorial estimation of the Poro people You have to give it to Phil. He knows his stuff. Uncle Eph Philosophizes on "Kernel" Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons UNCLE EPH SAYS: Well suh, Kernel Simmons has at last found a medium through which SAYS: Well, suh, Kernel Simmons has at last, found a medium through which he can vent his spleen. It's what is known as The St. Louis Clarion. It was rumored around a long time ago that the Kernel had "bought" the Clarion. We will not attempt to pass upon that part. It may be true and it may not. Our main object at this time is to point your attention to an article from The Clarion. Yes suh, in that very article the Kernel had his picture. And do you know it was on the very front page? The subject of the Kernel was headed, "Fools Rush In." He left you there for a moment to wonder whether he meant fools rush into his office or whether he meant larger aggregation of fools who for the past two years have paid fifty, seventy-five and a dollar to listen to the Kernel windjam against time. But, lest we forget, and Lord bless you child, as we read down further, the very thing popped out just what the poor Kernel meant. He was extremely angry that a newspaper which at least sometimes gives birth to a real genuine thought has one of its editors' book by what is styled "The World's Greatest Daily." The Chicago Tribune. Well, suh, the Kernel was surely mad. You know the Kernel had tried several times to get in the Tribune himself, but when his stuff finally showed up (that part that they could make any sense out of), was found on the advertisement page and in small type. But let me quote a little of the childish babble. The Kernel stands off his "fool rushing in" argument (?), by saying "Now we've got him." He ends the last paragraph by saying, "but before we are through with them we may have to call upon somebody to help us turn the bear loose." Yes, suh, singular coincident. The mind (?) of the Kernel, in his efforts to philosophize turned to the animal for thought Quite in keeping with the Kernel's nature. But the Kernel said, "We would be asking some- Eyes of Youth Reflect the Confidence Milady Feels in the Charm of a Fine, Clear Skin A clever woman, much admired for her beauty, knows how all-important is the part that her personal appearance.

Special Proposition to Agents Mme. J. B. PAILIN, Department A-116, 3725 Indiana Ave., CHICAGO one to help us turn the bear aloose." Meaning, of course, that we must be careful how we talk about the white man. The Kernel is fortunate, perhaps, as he will never be placed in such a compromising position himself unless it would be for trying to get his hands in the bear's pocket in one of his wholesale "race deliveries" to some political party for his own aggrandizement. A little further on the Kernel attempts through sheer ignorance or selfishness to read into The Whip editorial which has caused such a furor throughout the country a disposition to array the black man against the white man and visa versa. This is one of the old tricks of the Kernel to ingratiate himself in the confidence and respect of some of the white people who have cast him aside as an unworthy representative either of the race or himself. But why give further space to the Kernel? As a force to reckon with he is passing. As a name to conjure with his is contumed. Universal knowledge of the Kernel has reached its height and knowledge of the Kernel is his undoing. To know him is to know the veneer that covers ignorance, prejudice, and dishonor. Attorney A. L.

Made of rich, pure cream from herds of the highest type, smooth, velvety and rich in butter fat, the LAWRENCE GOLDENROD BRAND is endorsed by food experts everywhere. To those who heard the argument of the Hon. ALVA L. BATES of the law firm of BATES & ADAMS, in Judge Moran's Court on Friday, Dec. 3, 1920, on the breaking of a Ten Year Lease, in the case of Carter vs. Zieman, would readily term him a modern Demosthenes—so brilliant was the argument the young attorney set forth. He cited every case of importance on the subject and the firm acquitted itself well. All materials from which it is prepared are subjected to rigid inspection and every possible sanitary precaution known to science is observed in its making. The cream is thoroughly pastuerized, put in sealed cans, and kept at a temperature of 30 degrees until used.

Leubrie Hill's musical extravaganza, "My Friend From Kentucky," opened to a crowded house at the Avenue Monday night, and was met with roaring and thunderous applause. The show is replete with amusing and comic situations. The music is good, the chorus is better, and the girls compose one of the best balanced aggregations seen in Chicago in a long time. The managers of many more pretentious shows can learn lessons from this show. They have a rip and a roar about their dances and pep in their songs which make them a pleasure to one who is overfed with the anaemic type of chorus. "LOVE" At the Vendome Theater, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 9, 10, 11. A story of sin. "Though the flesh sin, the soul may remain pure." And the soul of Nathalie Storm, consecrated to love of her sister and love of her sweetheart, remained pure through an experience that would have embittered almost any other woman, and would have shattered a love less divine than her own.

The story of a man whom nothing could stop—and one whom no danger could slow up. A man of iron nerves and a dauntless will. Music Notes It has been demonstrated that music cannot be successfully taught in any of its branches without the use of appreciation as a tool. It matters not whether or not we have orchestra practice, chorus rehearsal, theory or history of music, whether we simply listen to phonograph records of good music and attend good musical concerts—all these things contribute their share to the development of the well rounded musician or to the musical intelligence of those who like music. Experience has shown that the more an individual knows about any subject the more he will appreciate it and the greater amount of good he is capable of accomplishing along that line. In school work one of the happiest forms of music helpfulness is the teaching and rendition of good solid cantatas, operettas and even the easier operas. The opera will bring together the music and dramatic ar tdepartment in a way that will be mutually helpful and will lend an interest that could not otherwise be aroused. In the life of the adult, the music and dramatic department of community centers can figure in life manner. The responsibility as to how much oral musical is given rests largely with those in charge of the departments and the necessity of capable trained workers cannot be too strongly urged. Public performances, not too frequently given, will stimulate a desire for conscientious study and greater musical understanding. It should, however, be borne in mind that these performances should only be given when the music has reached a creditable stage of rendition. The monthly musicale of the Chicago Musical Association which was held at the Appomatox Club on Sunday afternoon December 5th, was particularly attractive and enjoyable, the program consisted of several violin solos and one number for two violins and was given by young Mr. Nemkovsky and his younger sister both of whom are very Conn, Virgil Williams, and a notable cast of exceptional efficiency. A feature of peculiar theme, startling situations, and wonderful photography. A picture that will linger in your memory. Mother against son—son against mother. See the hard-fought hand-to-hand battles between red-blooded men. talented. Mr. Nemkovsky is a pupil of Leopold Anes, one of the world's greatest violinists and violin teachers. The young man produces a clear firm, resonant tone and his bowing is unusually good. The accompaniments were artistically played by his mother Mrs. Nemkovsky. On Sunday January 2nd, a program of great interest to children by Mrs. Steele of the Caruthers School of music will be given. This program was scheduled for December 5th but was necessarily postponed until January 2nd. The Sunday Evening Musical of the Metropolitan Community Center Church held at Wendell Phillips High School on December 5th was very good and Mr. J. Wesley Jones deserves commendation for the program given. The solo work of Mme. Anita Patti Brown, soprano. Miss Lavenia Brooks, contralto. G. Miola Addison, tenor, and William Pollard. Baritone was very good and the singing of the Progressive Choral Society gave evidence of the splendid vocal material of the organization and of the training they received from their leader, Mr. Jones. On Sunday Evening December 12th a musical will be given at the same place by the choir of one hundred voices of the Metropolitan Community Church. Hazel Harrison pianist, will appear in recital in Baltimore on December 8th and in Washington, D. C., on December 10th.

STATES THEATRE 3507 State St. The Home of Good Pictures DUMP FORTY CLUB DANCE A SPLENDID SUCCESS The Basketball Game and Dance given by the Forty Club and the Eighth Regiment Armory was one of the best attended affairs ever given at the Armory, and marks the beginning of a new and lively interest in basketball in Chicago. Automobiles lined Forest Avenue from 35th Street almost to 37th street, on both sides, and gave evidence of the fact that something worth while was going on. An enthusiastic crowd had gathered at the call of the Forty Boys, and in the interest of sport, as well as for the purpose of enjoying a real dancing event. Many Visitors Present Attracted by the call of the Forty Boys and the lure of the Windy City visitors from almost every part of the country were present. They enjoyed a well played basket ball game and met Chicago people at their best. The great success of the evening was largely due to the arriving efforts of the Committee of Arrangements, who spared no pains or expense to make the night one long to be remembered. This committee, Fenton W. Harsh, Porter Smith, Bindley Cyrus, W, J. Kelly and Drs. C. J. Teffner, A. C. Johnson and D. H. Anderson, was headed by Louis Thompson. The many groups who came to the assistance of the popular club members were in evidence, giving the affair that well-planned effect which always means enjoyment for those present. Next Event January Third Knowing that the large attendance would naturally look forward to another affair, the Forty Club has arranged to have St. Christopher team of New York City here on January 3rd in a championship match, which will beyond doubt eclipse the last event.

From The Missouri Cornfields To The Illinois Senate "A long way from the corn fields of Missouri to the State Legislature of Illinois." This statement coming from the lips of the Hon. Warren B.

November the 24th, brought tears from the eyes of thousands of admirers of both races who had gathered at the Entertainers Hall, 35th and Indiana Ave. to congratulate him upon the victory which he won in the recent campaign against overwhelming odds. Wonderful Program In the estimation of the writer, never in the annals of modern history was such an ovation tendered a successful candidate as that tendered to the Honorable Warren B. Douglas and Hon. Joseph H. Haas, County Recorder, who were the only men, by their efficiency, able to survive the Thompson landslide. In the elaborate program Ex-Governor Chas. S. Deneen, Joseph H. Haas, Hon. Mr. Littering, Mrs. Joslin, Editor Wm. Linton, and Hon. Warren B. Douglas were the principal speakers. The exquisite manner and extraordinary taste in the arrangement for the interspersion of musical numbers and other offerings between the various addresses well deserves the commendation which was afterward tendered the program committee which consisted of Attorney Gaines, Thomas Allen, Mr. Davis and Mrs. Jones. Others assisted. CURED HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured when lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only reason for rupture was that I was no good.

"That's perfectly easy," came the snappy reply of Mae. "Have photos made. They make fine gifts, and one's friends always appreciate an artistic photograph. $12 will pay for a dozen, you see!" Mae is right in her advice. There is nothing today that makes such tasteful and desirable Christmas gifts as photos. And too, they cost only a fraction of what other less desirable and less appreciative gifts cost. At my Studio you will find prices running from high to low, but all will show the very highest quality of ART and WORKMANSHIP. Hundreds of people, like "the lady of the fine home," will be coming in for Christmas sittings. So you had better come as early as you can so as not to be disappointed.

Plan to Feed Thousands It is hoped that funds enough will be raised to feed over a thousand citizens. This is one of the most timely attempts to bring good cheer to those who are suffering and who continue to suffer from the reaction of the late war. It is extremely gratifying to note how the philanthropists of the white race are rallying to the cause. Dr. Baber has already received several substantial checks from those who believe that Charity is greater than Faith and Hope. The ministers of the city are expected to inspire their congregation with the benevolence of the cause and liberal contributions are hoped for.

"PAINLESS DENTISTS" BAIT DOCTORS Following the series of suits and complaints that have been registered against the New York Dentists, who have opened the famous museum in the Chicago Black Belt the dentists have become wary and have started to offer explanations to the colored Doctors. The Letter of explanation state in substance that the intention of the "painless" Dentists is to educate the people up to the necessity of Dental care. Advisers Segregate Colored The New York Dental parlors located at 35th and State Street are owned and controlled it is said by the Boston Dental Corporation which maintains a Parlor at 135 State St. In this establishment colored people are put in a room all to themselves and segregation is practiced openly and notoriously. It is strange that there will come out here for the purpose of educating colored people and it has been stated by some who have suffered that they are not in position to educate the people in Dental necessities especially when they are spending so much money advertising. The consensus of opinion is that they are seeking to make money and they expect colored people to supply that money. Colored Doctors Smile The letters have been smiled at by the lads of color who have striven so hard to gain a place in the sun. They realize that these painless Dentists are taking bread out of their mouths and that their own people are being exploited.

Mr. THE CHICAGO WHIP St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 8.—In the midst of the profusion of beautiful flowers, folk-lore music and fitting decorations, the new annex to Poro College was joined to the mother plants last week. The dedicatory exercises occupied the final four days of Thanksgiving week and were attended and participated in by the flower of racial endeavor and accomplishment from all over the country. The event brought so many of the outstanding members of the race to St. Louis that Prof. Aaron E. Malone, president, and Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro College, anticipated in as a signal for the arrangement of various conferences looking up to the welfare and advancement of Colored people. With the added 20,000 square feet in the newly complete annex, floor space in the Poro establishment aggregates five acres, every inch of which is devoted to teaching some useful lessons to the youth of the race.

The conference was not a peace movement, a war, or one of men harboring ideas that could be turned into dangerous and harmful propaganda; in short. A.

The base ball arena of this country is the great melting pot, the game the great leveler. The fact that base ball is one of our national emblems places it much in common with the colors of our country—the national flag—. No matter by whom it is carried, Black White, Brown or Yellow Race, we, one and all rally around and give due reverence. $^{1}$The clubs represented at the Indianapolis meeting gave their version of the Great National Game before 1,016,000.

The Eastern section, while not altogether organized, nevertheless, played to 400,000. 1920 was the banner year in base ball by a large majority, and with almost universal organization of all of the colored clubs in this country already perfected for 1921, nothing shorter than a holocaust of the magnitude of the recent world's conflict should prevent a repetition of the past season's success, and we feel safe in predicting for the coming year a greater volume of the same. The constitution of the National Association of Colored Professional Base Ball Clubs was put into effect and it will be the executive body from which the Western Circuit and all other Circuits affiliating, will be governed. Andrew "Rube" Foster was elected president, with the responsibilities of Secretary and Treasurer going with the executive office. Clubs of Cleveland, Pittsburgh and many other cities are and will operate under protection of the National body pending the completion of base ball plants which are well underway. The Hilldales, of Darby, Pa. and the Bacharach Giants of New York are associated members and have a bona-fide protective working agreement with all the Western Circuit clubs, as well as probation membership organizations. The clubs that will make up the personnel of the Western Circuit for the season of 1921, are Chicago (2) Detroit, Columbus, O. Cincinnati, O. (Cubans), Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City.

Williams HAMPTON, VA., Dec. 8—One of the hardest-fought games ever played on the Hampton Institute grounds was witnessed on Thanksgiving Day, when Hampton and Union clashed in their annual game. The day was a perfect one. The biggest crowd of the season was on hand. During the first part of the game the visitors were taken off their feet by the aggressive play of Hampton. A field goal was kicked after the first few minutes of play, which was followed by a touchdown, ending the first half 9 to 0 in Hampton's favor. In the second half Union came back with a fighting spirit. During the third quarter Hampton was forced to hold Union for downs three times on the one and two-yard line. A touch down was finally made by Union, resulting from a 30-yard forward pass, which was dropped in the field of play, rolling across the goal line, and covered by a Union man. It was declared a fumbled ball by the officials, thus giving Union a touchdown. During the last few minutes of play Union carried the ball within the 5-yard line on a forward pass. It was the play on the last down on which the referee declared a touchdown. The Hampton team refused to accept the decision. At this time the crowd surged on the field and became unmanageable. The unfortunate ending marred one of the cleanest and most thrilling games of the year. The Hampton-Union game was filled with sensational running and passing on both sides. The feature of the game was the wonderful defensive playing of Hampton eleven. Referee: A. K. Savoy. Umpire: E. B. Henderson. Linesman: Benjamin Washington. Time of quarters: 15 minutes. Score—forfeited game: Union 11 Hampton, 0. WHY HOWARD RAN OVER LINCOLN Fritz Pollard Tells How "Higher Ups" Queered Lincoln's Chances to Whip Howard By Fritz Pollard The defeat of the great Lincoln football team at the hands of Howard's eleven by the decisive score of 42-0 has raised a howl of indignation and consternation among the followers of the Lincoln team and the graduates of the school. Much blame has been placed upon the coaching system. I, being Lincoln's head coach, have been the target of much attack. I wish to state here that I have no apologies to make for the showing made by Lincoln. I have led them to victory and honorable athletic achievement during the previous two years. Working entirely with raw material, I was successful in defeating Howard and Hampton once and in typing them once. My Methods Interfered With Although I was appointed head coach, certain regulations in the constitution of the Lincoln Athletic constitution provided that the manager of the football team had authority over me in the matter of methods of coaching. This, of course, hampered my work. In addition to this, members of the Lincoln faculty assumed authority over me, and dictated my language and attitude toward the men on the field. Team Poorly Cared For In spite of the fact that I constantly fought for every comfort that would safeguard the health and make for the comfort of the players before big games, the authorities at Lincoln refused to heed my advice. Prior to the Hampton game, the team was compelled to go to Hampton by boat, sleeping on the decks and under portholes. No cabins were provided, nor were they given a place to sleep after reaching Hampton. They lost the game through lack of rest. This was proved when they advanced the ball five times to the six-yard line and were unable to make a touchdown. I Had to Buy Them Shoes An indication of the lack of interest shown by the authorities at Lincoln may be seen in the fact that no football shoes were provided for the men, I, myself, bought and paid $200 out of my pocket for football shoes for my team. This money has never been repaid. I am a married man with children, and I notified the Lincoln authorities that I would be unable to support my family on the salary paid me for coaching Lincoln. They were satisfied to have me divide my time with professional teams. The men on the team knew of the interference being made by faculty members. Several times when my orders were overridden by the authorities, the men refused to play. It was I who persuaded them to remain in the game. When they learned that I was not to be present at the Howard game, partly on account of interference "from above," their spirit was broken. They were discouraged. I still say the Lincoln faculty beat the Lincoln football team, not Howard. They are the gamedest of players on any gridiron. With proper treatment they can beat any team going. FORTY CLUB DEFEATS EVANSTON One of the best games ever played in the city was pulled off last Monday night when the Forty Club five downed the Evanston aggregation at the Eighth Regiment Armory before an enthusiastic crowd of fans. Two games were played, the first being between the lightweight teams and the second between the heavies, the Forty team winning in both events. First Game Te Forty team went out with blood in their eyes, and at the end of the first half had piled up 24 points against Evanston's 5. The visitors, however, made a few changes and came back with some clever passing, which made it look bad for a while, but the best that they could do in the both sessions of the last half of the game was 11 and permitted the Forty team to get 9 more, making the final score 33—16 in favor of the home team. Second Game By this time the enthusiasm of the spectators had been keyed up to a high tension, and when the "heavies" trotted upon the floor cheers racked the roof, making one think of the Manhattan Casino in New York City during a championship game. The Evanston team immediately showed that they wanted to redeem the evening for Evanston, and by clever passing shot enough baskets to show a score of 12 to Forty boys' total of 8 when the first half closed. The second half was exciting and the play was fast and close, calling forth the cheers of the nearly 2,000 spectators time and again. The Forty overcame the lead of their opponents in a whirlwind finish, making the final score 25 to 23 with the Forty Club on the winning end. Bluett, Anderson, Duff, Winters, Hubbard, Curry and Butler did the tossing for the Forty Club, Legare being the only member of the team who did not get in the game. Miller, Mack, Mirium, Dash, Johnson, Watheall, Gilbert and Evans were Evanston's contenders.

Following are scores of games played the week of the 28th: Edington's Stars Win Stubby Edington's All-Stars defeated the L. A. White Sox at the White Sox park, 6 to 1. Frank Schellenbach outpitched Bullet Rogan in the pinches and had better support. An error, a bunt and an out gave the Stars one in the first inning. A walk and two hits tied the score for the Sox in the last of the first. In the fourth hits by Blue and Edington, a triple by Irish Meusel and an out by Bob Meusel gave the Stars three runs and the game. They added two more in the fifth to make it safe. ALL STARS AB. R.

Major Stars Fall For the third consecutive time the Los Angeles White Sox trimmed the Major League All-Stars, the third of the string of victories taking place at the White Sox park. The score was 4 to 2 in favor of the Sox, and the colored team was up against a world's series champion battery. Lamb Curry pitched as he never pitched before, allowing the Majors but six scattered hits. Even the Meusel boys got but a hit apiece. Of the Majors, Elliott was the only player to bet more than a hit off Curry, He got two. MAJORS AR. R. H. O. A. Pirrone, cf. 3 0 1 1 0 Boeckel, 3b. 3 0 0 1 0 E.

Mr. Linares says that while he is sure the Bacharach Giants are capable of playing better than the Mets, he is also strengthened as much as possible to make that team a real contender for the pennant. The outlook for the championship right now is pretty gloomy, the Almendares club seems to be in the bottom third, and cannot hit enough to be taken seriously, and the Bacharach Giants are handicapped by their poor work during the six exhibition games, out of which they lost to the Mets. However, baseball is uncertain, and who knows but that one or two hitters on the Almendares team may enter into a slump, and the Mets will have to deal with it. the rest of the bunch lose their "peep" The fact that the attendance is pretty slim, and the players are less sensitive to the winner when the season ends, might make some players dissatisfied, but others will work harder than ever to get a slice of that extra money to be divided among the winners. The team that wins the Cuban Stars, will manage the Bacharach Giants hereafter. That will relieve Dick Redding of that much worry, and he might give his pitching all his thought and attention. And, at it is one move toward breaking the losing streak, so here is hoping that it is not the best. A. Blood-Fest in Oklahoma TULSA, Okla.

Gather color love and evolve organized power as well as self-respect! These are the doctrines propounded by the newer elements of Negroes. This awakened race consciousness is not devoid of opposition and antagonism. Many "conscientious objectors" to this propaganda and to this clearly defined policy seem to base their contentions upon the ground that it is contrary to the universal proposition of God's fatherhood and the fraternity of man. In this time of color hatred and intensified race prejudice, one must outline his program in the light of things as they are and not as they should be. The beautiful philosophies of altruism are not "lost on desert air." We do not forget that all men should become brothers "in spirit and in truth." The great difficulty is HOW? The darker races of the world are regarded by those of paler hue as the "gutter-snipes" of civilization. The darker races are oppressed by tyranny and maledictions are heaped upon their head without stint. "Brotherhood" to the tyrants and oppressors is an expression that has no visible meaning. Might rules and right slumbers somewhere in the immensity of space. The "gutter-snipes" must be elevated from their present status. They must be forced to think without mental fetters. Race consciousness then is the remedy. This newly-inspired consciousness will develop energy and mass action in the economic world. It will create race confidence and will put to flight fear, forebodings and doubts. The Negro, constituting an appreciable proportion of the dark majority, has been so abused, misused and maltreated in America that they themselves have sometimes thought they were unfit, inferior and uncalled. Race consciousness, seeping into souls that lethargy supremely ruled over for thousands of years, has made him open his eyes and rack his throbbing brain to know the truth. Truth, which has been side-tracked and shunted by white historians, is given to his famished mind, and he is learning from whence he came, what he was and how much greater he shall be. No longer shall lies and fantasies shape his sentiment. He shall know how he built up the first civilization, then grew weary and slept through the flight of hundreds of years. He shall know that he is not inferior, that he is not the leper of modern times. He shall know that his visionaries see stupendous heights to which he shall climb and colossal monuments which he shall build. These are the doctrines that arouse the damnable ire of the white folk because they are close students of human affairs. Race consciousness, hurled from the pulpit and from the press into the hearts of black folk, will result in race pride, color love and organization. When the dark peoples organize, when they shall become producers as well as consumers in world commodities, when they shall become capable of collective bargaining and selling with other astute races, when they shall become owners and possessors of economic wealth, when their organized numbers shall throw fear into the heart of the reckless tyrant, THEN the Negro can raise his voice and take his place alongside of the other powerful races. THEN the "fraternity of man" will be the order of the day. THEN the white, the yellow and the black races will truly recognize brotherhood and become unconscious of color difference.

Church, beginning December 12, will keep "OPEN DOORS" from 4 to 5 p. m. each Sunday. Every person—old and young, men and women—who desires to visit with a friend or friends, is heartily invited to do so at South Park M. E. Church at the time designated. The Sunday School room on the first floor is to be arranged as a reception room, and will be under supervision of gracious and efficient hosts and hostesses. Light refreshment will be served free. If the people take advantage of the opportunity, arrangements will be made to furnish hot coffee and sandwiches each Sunday at a small cost to those desiring to remain to the other services. There are hundreds of people in our city—men and women—who would appreciate a warm, cheery place with wholesome environment, in which to meet and visit with their friends. Many would hail with joy a place like this just to drop in and rest and be quiet, if they knew of it, and knew they were welcome. Help the Epworth League to give them this information. You tell your friends and ask them to tell them this way you will be spreading help new. The Literary Department of the League gives its first program of the season from 5 to 6, Sunday, December 12, immediately at the close of the "OPEN DOORS." Mr. James C. will give his illustrated lecture on "The Land of Freedom." This is a wonderful lecture. It is instructive and enjoyable. It will make you think, learn and laugh at the same time. It will be good music. You and your friends are invited to be present. Devotional Service From 6 to 7 p. m. the League will hold its devotional services each Sunday. The topic for the coming Sunday is "The Spirit of Generosity." Bible lesson, 2 Cor. 9:6.15. Come and bring your friends. This service will do you good.

Braham buried one in the liquid grave at 27th Street. The revival services will continue throughout this week, the pastor, Dr. L. K.

Beginning with next Sunday's service will be the morning services the sermon will be on some great social and civic question. In the evening the pastor will preach on doctrinal matters as pertain to the denomination as a whole. There will be services both in the main auditorium and in the overflow, so that all may be heard. The evening sermons will come to these services and bring a friend. Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Champlain Avenue at E. 65th Street, had inspiring services last Sunday at morning and evening. Five persons were received into our fellowship, and a goodly number participated in the monthly communion. The sacred concert by our choir was up to the usual high standard, and the cornet playing of Miss Irene Howell was especially noteworthy. In a series of Lincoln was urged to attend all services of our church, and especially the musical and literary concert the first Sunday evening in each month. Three special meetings are being held at Lincoln this week, viz. Wednesday evening, December 8, Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, director of Negro work among Congregationalists in the North will speak and miss a message should be heard by every Congregant in Chicago. Thursday evening, December 9, a special citizens meeting will be held at Lincoln to discuss community problems, and it is hoped that all our people in Woodlawn will be present. Friday evening, December 10, the Rev. Dr. Frank Burhan, pastor of Trinity Congregational church, will speak and miss a message to our church and it is hoped that members and friends of Lincoln will turn out en masse to hear this mighty preacher. Next Sunday, December 12, Rev Rov W. Merrifield, of the Illinois Conference staff, will speak for us at 11 o'clock a. m. and in the afternoon twenty teams will go out from 3 to 6 o'clock to make the "Every Member Canvas" for 1921 church finances. At 7:30 in the evening the canvassers will report their success and experiences to members and friends. The public is cordially invited to all our services—11 a. m. 5:30 and 7:30 p. m. Charles Wesley Burton, Minister, LIST OF CHICAGO DENTISTS Food For Thought ROCHESTER (N.Y.) Herald, Novi 11.—A situation seems to be returning to the South which reminds many of us of the notorious old days of the carpet-bagger, in so far as irritability between the races is concerned. It has been a long time since there were as many open clashes between the races as were witnessed this year, and one may not risk much in laying it to the mischievous interference of an association with headquarters in New York City which makes a pretense of "advancing" the colored people, but which seems to be more successful in making trouble for them, and in taking care of the contributions they make for the good of the cause. It is not likely that the independent observer will quarrel with this influence, however, because of its declared purpose to insist upon the reduction of the South's representation in Congress because so many of the Southern States have enacted laws that partially eliminate the colored vote. The South does not have a very good case in demanding representation upon a population to which it denies the franchise. But while the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in a state of belligerency, we wonder why it does not take up the cudgel against its political friends in the home state of the President-elect? Ohio, from the evidence at hand, has no more respect for the colored people than any of the Southern States they rail against. Racial equality at the polls means no more to the white Republican in Ohio than it does to the white Democrat in Georgia. This evidence is in the form of a dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, which reads: "Notwithstanding the fact that six negroes were nominated upon the Republican ticket in Ohio for membership in the General Assembly, not a member of that race will occupy a seat in that body. Reports from Cleveland and Cincinnati show the defeat of the negro candidates there, while the two negroes named here (Columbus) virtually were buried under an avalanche of negative votes. In Springfield a negro physician who was nominated to be Coroner of Clark County on the Republican ticket also was defeated. So far as is known, not a negro was elected to any office in the state upon any ticket." From which the inference is easily drawn that the colored man—and woman—is expected to vote the ticket, but not to ask for any of the plums. If the Southern Democrats have adopted a more selfish policy it has hitherto escaped notice. LIST OF CHICA Doctors. Dr. Alexander, W. E. Dr. Allen, E. P. Dr. Barnes, George S. Dr. Bentley, Chas. E.

Your query is very vague. Societies or organizations do not furnish transportation to people simply because they are unable to do it themselves. If you are in real need, and for good cause cannot work, pr are ill, you can apply to the Bureau of Charities and they will help you. You should have given me more facts for a practical answer. Dear Miss Anderson: My husband is a Cuban and has not yet been naturalized. He threatens to leave me and go back to Cuba. Is there any way that I can prevent him? He drinks and ill-treats me, and has often beaten me—Zella. Yes. File a bill for divorce and have your lawyer apply for a writ of necreat—a writ which forbids him to leave the state until the case is settled; or go to the Court of Domestic Relations, and they will take care of it for you. I went into a restaurant last week, with my maid, who is a colored girl, and who is an ardent reader of The Whip. I have been reading your column with much interest, and at her request am writing to ask your opinion in this case. We were refused service after more than an hour's wait, and I was informed by the door man that colored people were not served by the management. Have we both a case against the shop?—Mrs. A.E.G. Yes. The Civil Rights Act says that all persons are entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations at inns, eating houses, restaurants, etc., subject only to the limitations established by law and applicable alike to all citizens. You may each sue in your own names, and should recover damages for the refusal. Dear Madame; I am suing for divorce here in Chicago, and my husband and I own a home in San Francisco. Can the court here give me any share of that property by any decree? No; the Illinois courts have no jurisdiction of real property out of its borders. You will have to take up your property rights in the California courts. Address all questions to The Whip. I will gladly answer them. AGO DENTISTS Offices. 3613 So. State Street 4651 So.

Moore, Attorney at Law. All Questions of Legal Nature Cheerfully Answered Ques: Can I sue a thief for the value of property which he stole from me and disposed of, and for which he was con vict e d' and PARKS Ans. Yes. Ques. How long must a man reside in the State before he can sue for divorce? Ans. One year's residence next prior to the filing of the bill for divorce is required before a party is entitled to a divorce in this State, unless the act complained of was committed in this State, or committed while one or both of the parties resided in the State. Ques. A man has a suit against me which I am willing to settle out of court. What should I require of him in order to fix it so that I will be protected from further suit? Ans. If you have agreed between yourselves as to the amount or terms of the settlement, have him execute a full release to you, releasing you from all claim in re the transaction out of which the suit arises. Then you can have the pending suit dismissed by filing stipulation to that effect in the case, signed by all the parties. Ques. I have a tax deed to a piece of property. The previous owner is suing to recover the property from me. Can he do this over my tax deed? and what should I do? Ans. The validity of your tax deed depends upon all of the circumstances surrounding the tax sale to you. You have not explained your case sufficiently for me to give you a definite answer. The procedure surrounding tax sales is somewhat intricate, and must be compiled with strictly in every respect, in order to render a tax deed valid. You should consult an attorney and have him examine your tax deed and all of the circumstances and procedure of this sale together with the length of time you have held the deed, etc., and then advise you whether or not you have as yet acquired a valid title which cannot be defeated in the action.

The nourishment of our bodies depends upon the food we eat and the ability of our digestive organs to change these foods into forms suitable for the regeneration and repair of worn parts of our human machinery. So important a part does proper food stuff play in the upkeep of our bodies that increasing numbers of scientists are now devoting their life's study to experimentation in the field of Diet and Nutrition. Municipalities have for years maintained a strict inspection of reservoirs safe-guarding the health of their citizens and national food and drug laws are rigidly enforced as a protection against the distribution of harmful foods. All this precaution has for its object the propagation of good health by regulating the quantity of food and water intended to nourish our bodies. What a nation of sturdy specimens we should be! Alas! In the large majority of cases the luckiness pitcher arrives safely at the well only to be broken. The water and food come to our tables void of impurities only to be placed in four mouths where decaying teeth and roots fill them full of germs and poisons before they pass into our stomachs and intestines. There is little that many complain of headaches, backaches, rheumatism, indigestion and numerous kindred ailments. If a man would deliberately swallow a known poison, he would be foolish to ask why he had pains and aches as a result; in all probability death would ensure and the incident serve as a warning to others. But few accept the experience of others who have neglected their teeth and the dentist frequently finds that most of those who apply for his dental service have waited until excruciating pain compelled them to come. The element of preventing tooth trouble has been relegated to the back of most individuals personal interest. The human mouth is the gateway to the organs responsible for the upkeep of our bodies. It is provided with properly formed and uniquely arranged instruments to cut and tear and grind food. These instruments (unknown also as teeth) when in health perform a service of utility and appearance more beautiful than the rarest handicraft wrought of man and more to be desired than rarest gems. The teeth assist in the act of speech and are more valuable than any artificial substitutes and to the digestive tract are indispensable; yet, many allow them to "blush unseen" and with indifference permit them to crumble and decay to the injury of their health and to the loss of personal appearance. It seems astounding that a mouth could be neglected to an extent necessary for teeth to be extracted, abcesses to form and pus-soaked areas to need radical treatment; yet every dentist can give numerous instances of just such conditions and add others as deplorable. It is the duty of every person not only to strictly care for his own mouth, but to see to it that all under his influence exercise diligence in oral hygiene. On the other hand it is the duty of every dentist to give to his patient the best that is in him and co-operate in the promotion of health not only among his own patients, but contribute to the teaching of his community the elements of the care of the teeth and the ill effects of neglecting them. In order to do this duty effectively the dentist must have a personal interest in his community—far greater than the garnering of wealth with which to support a family secluded in a distant antagonistic community. He must breathe the air, drink the gall and enjoy the progress of his patients—in short, he must be one of them to best serve the community in so lofty a calling as dentistry. The safest insurance a man can have is a healthy mouth. His fight against raging epidemics is largely won by the aid of a clean mouth. It is not to be denied that as civilization advances man is improving in matters pertaining to personal comfort. Dentistry is contributing a measurable share, indeed, and when we consider how even the poor can afford the services of a competent dentist to alleviate his oral misery, we are forced to pay honor to this branch of human endeavor and admit that there is a sacrificial side to dental service which needs no glaring signs to announce its benefactors, and which brands as false prophets those who seek through quotation of low prices to deduct from the profession its honor, its dignity and its integrity.
