Clark, democrat, of Florida, declared that Florida's election laws were fair and were justly administered to black men on election day. Rep. Clark denounced the N. A. A. C. P. as being composed of meddling, fussing persons, who seek only to keep themselves in good jobs. He heedlessly declared that no black men were deprived of their rightful vote on election day. Rep. Tinkham, of Massachusetts, declared that he would take his fight to cut the South's representation into the courts if he got no results in Congress. LAWSON BESTS TRAVIS IN CONTRACT SUIT LAWSON BESTS TRAVIS IN CONTRACT SUIT W. R. Lawson, formerly a salesman for Chas. B. Travis, real estate operator at 3333 State St., was awarded the full amount claimed by him in a controversy over the terms of a contract by which Lawson agreed to sell property out of Travis' office. According to evidence filed by Lawson, he was to receive a 50 per cent commission on all sales, but after committing a sale, Travis brought in the Lincoln State Bank as a third party, for the purpose of splitting the commission three ways. The court finally awarded the full amount claimed by Lawson, $147.50. Lawson was represented by Attorney Tavernier. GRABS PURSE, GRABS TRAIN, GRABBED BY COPS ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 12—George Eusery is in the county jail here as the result of too much grabbing. He grabbed the purse of a white woman, then grabbed a train and escaped, but was later grabbed by the police who had been informed of the grabbing by telephone.

At the sound of fighting in the Smith's room, Mrs. Stephenson, the landlady, and Maude Clark, a roomer on the next floor and a friend of six years' standing to the Smiths, rushed to Smith's room to persuade him to stop beating his wife. Smith drove the two women from his room with curses, saying that they had nothing to do with "his business." Follows Maude Clark Upstairs Having heaten his wife almost insensible, Smith then rushed upstairs to the room of Maude Clark, who hid in a closet. The drunken man forced his way into the room and grappling with the Clark girl, struck her one blow on the jaw. She then grasped a Colt automatic pistol, caliber 32, to defend herself. In the struggle which ensued, the gun was discharged six times, two bullets lodging in Smith's body, one in the abdomen and one just above the heart. Miss Clark then walked downstairs and calmly waited for the police to come. Smith a Man With a Record. Smith, who was a native of Winder, Ga., and who lived in Atlanta several years, worked variously in pool rooms and saloons on the South side. He has been arrested several times for gambling and was arrested in connection with the shooting of Policeman King last summer. He also served 60 days in the Bridewell, being convicted of a holdup four years ago. Mrs. Smith is a native of St. Louis and has been with Smith about three years. Maude Clark Exonerated. Maude Clark was exonerated of any crime at the coroner's inquest, held Monday afternoon at Jackson's Undertaking establishment, 33rd and State streets. The slain man has a brother, Grady Smith, living at 3714 Wabash avenue. SCHOOL WINS $10,000 SUIT ON PLEDGE LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 12—It is very unusual for a charitable institution to sue on a pledge for a donation, but State University, West Kentucky St., here, received last week through a decision of the Pulaski Circuit Court, judgment for $10,000 against the estate of Dr. J. S. Anderson, so-called "Indian Herbalist." The physician died in November 1919, without having fulfilled his promise of donating $30,000 to the institution. The university sued the estate on this promise and obtained the verdict. (By Wire from Balt. Afro-American) BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 12—Bishop W. Sampton Brooks, of the A. M. E.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 15th, 1921 Jackson Would Name Street After Giles. At the meeting of the City Council last Wednesday, Alderman Robert R. Jackson, introduced an Ordinance to change the name of Forest Ave. to Giles Ave. in commemoration of the memory of Lieut. George L. Giles, of the 370 Infantry (Old Eighth) who was killed in France and who fell in line of duty in the world's war. This is a deserved honor and a tribute to the life and character of a splendid young man who made the supreme scarifice and paid the price of a soldier's service to his Race, his Country and his Flag. THE ORDINANCE. Be It Ordained By The City Council Of The City Of Chicago: Section 1. That the name of Forrest Ave, lying between E. 31st street and E. 39th street, be and the same is hereby changed to Giles Ave. Section 2. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances conflicting with this ordinance, be and the same are hereby repealed. Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. GARY LAND SHARK CHASED CUT OF MISSISSIPPI GULFPORT, Miss., Jan. 12—A. C. Mayo, of Gary, Ind., ersi while called "Colonel," "Judge," and "Rev," evidently is up to his same old tricks in this city. "Col." Mayo says he was a judge of a court in Chicago and who is here with his wife and daughter, caused somewhat a sensation Sunday night in police circles when he was taken in custody by policemen at the end of his address to a throng of colored people in the Baptist Church here. He was arrested on charges of creating an agitation among his heirs to defy the laws of the South, but those who know him well claim that his inflammatory speech was propaganda for the furtherance of a real estate crime; he is carrying on in the city. He was invited to leave the city by the police department. It is said that "Judge" Mayo is traveling through the Mid-City selling real estate in the Mid-City Realty Co. of Gary, Ind., and being arrested a very frequent 'experience' for the "judge," and that if some of the colored people whom he has influenced to buy some of the sandy marshes of Gary could get their hands on him, the police would be saved the trouble of inviting him to leave Southern towns. FALSELY ACCUSE GIRL OF POISONING FAMILY POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., Jan. 10—Last September Muriel Gatewood, 16-year-old maid in the employ of George Abington, was arrested and charged with putting poison in the soup after she had been discharged for the alleged theft of twenty dollars from the family. The evidence as brought out in the trial which began last Thursday showed that Muriel was not even near the scene at the time of the alleged poisoning and the accusations of the Abington fell flat and appeared ridiculous. Those who know the girl testify that she is honest and hardworking and has a clean record. Many state that other motives prompted the prosecution of an innocent girl in order to keep her in their employ. These Girls Don't Worry About the H. C. L. Photograph of a Kwahitian family.

While on his way home from work near fourth and Chestnut Sts, last week Mrs. Trent, the complainant, states that she noticed Tolbert walking behind for several blocks and that she was afraid that she was being followed nothwithstanding the fact that the sun was shining brightly and pedestrians were hurrying to and fro. Tolbert stated that he did not know that the lady was in the land of the living and was attending to his own business as he had always done. The Judge fined him Fifteen Dollars and costs and cautioned him not to walk behind white ladies hereafter. Beware. SLAIN IN LOVER'S QUARREL.

In the preliminary trial in the 47th Street section, Raferty demanded a trial by jury. Mrs. Smith is represented by Atty, John H. Randle, of the firm Ellis & Westbrooks. Additional warrants are being sworn out against the conductor for carrying concealed weapons. SUTTON'S TRIAL THIS WEEK Austin D.

The wily Jap knew that from reputation that these people neither respected the law nor wanted it enforced. He knew that for a snap of the finger that he would be strung up to a nearby tree and that the Texans would with the assistance of hemp rope strangle the life out of him. He agreed to leave as soon as convenient. T. Okuma, the name of the little yellow peril, had just purchased a strip of farm land, in Harlingen and had intended to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. The citizens say no; that the land of the Lone Star state is for white people only. T. M. West of San Antonio, a member of the Texas legislature, said Friday he would introduce a bill in the legislature designed to exclude Japanese from purchasing farm land in Texas. The bill will be modeled after the California law. At the present time no such law is in vogue and anybody can purchase land in Texas. It will have to be in accordance with the will of the citizens, however, for if the purchaser should turn out to be an "undesirable" he will be ordered out of the vicinity by nightfall or suffer to be lynched. Texas Citizens Bent on Evil Citizens of Harlingen and other Rio Grande valley towns have determined, it is said, to use all kinds of methods and means to bar the Japs and that race feeling runs high in that territory. Only last week another Japanese gentleman was snatched off a Pullman and fled for being in close proximity with the white passengers. Then they wonder why Japan is silently building ships. CALLS OUT FIRE DEPT. TO MAIL LETTER PORTSMOUTH, Va., Jan. 12. When little Susie Brown, recently arrived from the country, was given a letter by her grandmother to be mailed at the corner box, the little girl, mistaking the fire alarm for the mail box, broke the glass and pulled the hook according to instructions written on the box. The fire department came from a distance of a mile, and after proper explanation, took the letter and milled it for her. H. H. PROCTOR, PROMINENT EVANGELIST, IN CITY. Rev. H. H. Proctor, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., and now of Brooklyn, N. Y., is attending the Social Service commission of the Congregational church. Mr. Proctor is the father-of Henry H.

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP 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. Texas, having lynched black jeeple and murdered Mexicans, is now directing its fusillades of insults and outlawry against the Japanese. Last week a family of Japanese were ordered to leave a town in twenty-four hours or suffer serious consequences. Texas, while known as the "lone star State" is not alone in this practice. The entire Southland utterly disregards the vital rights of others. The report comes that Colonel (?) Lincoln Johnson is in Washington, watching and guarding the rights and interests of black people and "paving the way" for great things with the incoming administration. Everybody knows that when a watchdog is given a bone he will quit watching. The colonel will no doubt act like the average hungry watchdog and if he gets his bone, he will conclude that all goes well with the race. You can't put a hungry hound to watch a meat house. W. E. B. Du Bois, learned editor of The Crisis, again makes a studied attack on the activities of Marcus Garvey and while criticizing like only Du Bois can criticize he fails to offer any assistance to the man who has worked a miracle—that is—he gathered three million Negroes together in one organization. Too bad that these two leaders cannot pool their strength. We might then get four million Negroes together on something which in itself would be a Godsend to the race and would mean consternation to the enemies of the race. "Hitch your wagon to a star," seems to be the life motto of R. L. Mays, who still insists that he should receive an appointment which will make him "dictator" on Negro economics and labor. The R. R. Men's Benevolent and Industrial Association might need a new head to bring the organization up to its fullest measure of efficiency, but why should the government take chances on a man who will be called upon to handle vital problems and big issues. Big jobs are for big men. Roscoe Simmons "looked upon the wine when it was red" in Hopkinsville recently and then saw red when he attempted to speak at The Emancipation Exercises. It is naturally asked if this was "done for my people?" SPRING FIELD, IL. Upon Uncle Epit's arrival at the inaugural here Monday morning, he was met at the depot by a large aggregation of citizens, headed by the chief of police, and others, all eager to make his stay as exclusive as possible. He managed, however, to evade the strong arm of the law, making his escape, was later seen toing his grip up Capitol Hill. There he was made welcome by the thou- sands who had assembled for the purpose of welcoming the new governor to his new seat of power. The Capitol was lined with every known vehicle, from an old-fashioned two wheeled buggy to the latest make in automobiles. Everybody was present, even those who were soon to leave. The governor's address vividly portrayed his hopes and ambitions and forebly impressed upon his audience that the days of the public utility had passed. As Uncle Eph shook hands with an old friend from down in Egypt, he was heard to say: "This is the day I long have sought, and grieved because I found it not." After clearing his throat several times, almost spitting cotton, Uncle Eph said: "This coming together of so many political notables from all over the state is unusual from many points of view, and especially in that there is such a conspicuous absence of hooch." As Governor Lowden passed from the known to the unknown, it was clearly visible upon his countenance that he had spent his force without obtaining the results he desired. Fortunate for him, however, he will not be lonesome, because hundreds of others were forced to pull their hands out of the pockets of the public treasury and seek new fields of employment. Among those who were extremely conspicuous by their presence were: Mayor William Hale Thompson, Judge Robert E. Crowe, County Judge Frank S. Righeimer, Charles E. Barrett, of the Board of Review, Dr. W. H, Reed, and the political wonder, Fred Lundin, all of Cook County. Of course there were numerous lesser lights in the Cook County firmament present, but we make hold to mention these, because of the importance of their activities in the weal and woe of public life. The inaugural of the twenty-sixth governor, which was the greatest ever pulled off in the State of Illinois, went through without a hitch. As the afternoon trains began leaving Springfield, it was noticed that the outgoing mail bound for Chicago was unusually heavy, and was said to have contained thousands of letters addressed to Chicago daily papers for the want ad columns by the large coterie of lame ducks who had fallen by the wayside. The letters were for the most part addressed to the "Situation Wanted" editor.

I know you know them because they are few and far between. You know the Co-Operative Grocery Store, 215 East 35th Street, headed by Alderman Jackson. Well, they are doing an extraordinary business and are handling the best of goods and are giving you the service. You know the pawn broker at 34th and State Streets who says his main object out here among the colored people is to get the money. We mean Mr. Sider. Well, guess he's right. If he stays long enough to get the money, he will no doubt move into the Hyde Park District, where they bomb colored people's houses. I know you know that fuzzy-headed red-faced "brown" who persists in wearing a combination of male and female attire. Well, tell her to be one thing or the other or shell get in some place that she wants to get out of and can't. You know the Royal Gardens, 459 East 31st Street.

Everybody knows Virge for he's a good fellow. I know you know that apartment where you enter through the medium of a mysterious rap on the door. Well, they used to give three raps now they give two. The police found out about the three and got in once. I know you know that "gang" of men who set for company in the cabaret, known as the "satellites of society." I know you know them for from their appearance their efforts to evade work has drawn heavily upon their vitality and they show earmarks of a dissipated life. Spot them the next time you cabaret so that you will know them ever afterward. I know you know that lady on Wabash Avenue who has that imposing apartment and sells her "home brew" so promiscuously. I know you know her because you too must have wondered how she had nerve to put that "war tax" on it. Well, she might pick up a Government officer for a customer and have to do a little ex-plaining. I know you know that prominent real estate man who got that society lady interested in his "big deal" and made her "invest" her Liberty Bonds. I know you know him and her too, because she "camps" at the office trying to get her "dividends" or her "money back." Beauty of Peculiar Creole Charm Produced Only By The Renowned La Creole Face and Hair Products O! NOSEY STUMELED by accident into the Y. M. C. A. the other night and while there went upstairs to see an old friend. While passing in the corridor on his way out Nosey was startled almost out of his thick skin when a high feminine voice cried out, "Here you are, Ruth, take these flowers and put them on your dresser." Nosey saw that the voice came not from a lady, but from a tall ladylike gentleman who was holding out a bunch of "posies" to another gentleman across the hall. Nosey decided that the name Ruth must be one of those last names like "Babe" Ruth, but later found out that this was not so, and is still wondering what it was all about. They were both nice boys, anyway. ONCE IN A GREAT while Nosey gets something to eat and while in 35th Street's popular night restaurant he saw the lady who has won the name of "meal hound" among the "boys" who know everybody. Well, she had "vamped" another gentleman out of a dinner and he left her for a minute to go get some cigarettes and was "coming right back." Well, she sat there and waited for an hour and a half and the man decided that he was going to close for the night and that he had to have the money for those two big dinners. The "meal hound" didn't have the cash and of course Nosey is never known to have anything so the poor girl left her wrist watch for those dinners. Nosey knows that the restaurant man got stung at that, but she walked out with her head high and entered a taxi. Nosey still wonders what she gave that cab driver if she could not pay for her dinner. SOME THINGS MAKE you really sweep. Nosey saw one of the most heartfinding tragedies that could ever take place in a cigar store. A man, well-known and liked, but always hard-pressed had just "con- [Image of a woman with a headscarf] 6 These are a few of the La Creole Beauties, who have themselves learned the beauty secrets of La Creole Products fidenced" a friend out of ten dollars and rushed into a cigar store to get his ever-present cigar before going to pay an urgent bill. The store was crowded and the gentleman got in time to overhear one man praising him to the skies and said that he for one would trust him with any amount. The hurried gentleman smiled with satisfaction as he recalled all of his many debts but the smile passed away when one man eased up to him and told him that he had to have "that $10,000" loaned some months back. He whispered first when he was refused by the hurried gent but when his demand grew loud the gent passed over the ten dollar note to save his reputation and started out to "get" somebody else. He really deserves sympathy. EVERY TIME Nosey "breezes into" one of the cabbages he runs into newer and bigger complications of the "social world." Last week Nosey saw at one of the secluded tables one of Chicago's leading lights "feeding" some chickens on liquid refreshments that came into the place when he came. His wife had just told Nosey that the Doctor was out on a "case." Well, the good wife was right. He was out on a case and before the night or rather the morning was over Nosey found out that the spry black-haired doctor came near "being out on bond." That case cost the doctor just $124.00 as far as Nosey could count over his shoulder and he isn't through yet. It's a good thing that the doctor has a "steady" source of income or that night would have set him back more than he wanted. YOU HAVE NOTICED them going into that apartment building on Indiana Avenue in the 37th block and have sometimes seen as many as seven cars lined up in the street. Well, Nosey followed one of the "little parties" into the building and when he got to the door the "lady of the house" asked him if he was with the party, and when he told her that he was not he was asked if he had a card. Not having a card Nosey went back to State Street and an old friend came up and told him about a place where he could go and have "some time" barring nothing and handed Nosey a card. Well, Nosey looked at the card and saw that he had the thing that would let him in the apartment and wheeled about and wended his way back to the "third flight up." Smiles greeted him and then he found out why one could not just "break in." It can't be told.

The Thompson Music company at Indiana avenue and 31st street, in seeking to secure the agency for the Brunswick phonographs and records, was required to have at least $3,500 as a security, as this company does not allow the liberal terms of purchase to distributors as other companies. This fact did not daunt Mr. De Koven Thompson, who immediately went to the Lincoln bank and the necessary sum was available, and therefore the Thompson Music company was put on the road to a big success, having as a prospect one of the biggest music houses in the country. The Brunswick people have just completed a record of De Koven Thompson's hit, "Dear Lord, Remember Me." This record will without question be followed by others. This company will now be able to do what few music companies are able to do in the way of accommodating their customers who want immediate delivery on machines purchased.

In this heart-throbbing drama of life, she is a character, taking the part of a beautiful woman, charming and demure whose magnetic personality caused the foremost of the male sex to worship at her shrine, forsaking all. She is forced to marry a rascal in the end. On Sunday, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," the hilarious, and comical farce, built around the desire of a beautiful woman to have a "wild man" for a husband, will be the feature.

A time musical ear. 2d. A breathy throat. 3d. Control of the breath. 4th. Pure sustained tone. 5th. Good diction and expression. 6th. A correct idea of interpretation and style. A good teacher may not possess all of these attributes, but he must of necessity be able to develop them in the pupil and his task is a very hard one unless he himself has most of them. It goes without saying that the teacher who is a good exponent of his own profession is capable of being more successful in training pupils than the one who has to rely principally on what he tells the student. If teachers as a rule would study themselves, and the mechanics of the profession more constantly than they do, it is reasonable to believe that there would be more real musicians produced as a result of their efforts and much less dissatisfaction among the students. One common and grievous mistake made by many teachers is that of permitting students to appear in public performances before they are really ready. There is much to be gained by good public performances—good is desired for both pupil and teacher, but the results of appearing publicly without proper and sufficient training and drill are too disastrous and far-reaching to need discussion here. No one is hitted for public singing unless he* has muscular and mental control of his singing voice. His diction must at least be clear and natural and he must be able to use his imagination to the extent of living himself—in that and rendition—the spirit and text of the song. The forty-second annual meeting of the Music Teachers' National Association was held at the hotel La Salle December 29-31, 1920. There were musicians present from all parts of the country. Some of the most interesting addresses and papers were those by Philip A. Otis of Chicago on "The Development of Music is Chicago," "The Fundamentals of Community Singing and Their Bearing Upon Musical Art," by William L. Tomlins of Chicago, and "Music a Trade or a Profession," by J. Lawrence Erb, of the University of Illinois. der, Evan Mason dragged on and on until utterly exhausted, she collapsed. Left alone at the death of her grandfather, she had come west to locate the claim he had left her. She awoke in the arms of Van Allen, a prospector, whose kindness to her she was later able to repay when the night riders rode down upon him, like ghosts with fiery tributes intent upon revenge. AL TO PUBLIC M CHICAGO UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC ANNOUNCES OPENING The Chicago University of Music which recently incorporated, announces the opening of the school year. The university affords a complete course and will qualify the young artists for the highest grade of professional work. The university is offering attractive courses in piano, violin, violincello, voice, oratorio, pipe organ and all of the popular musical pursuits of the present age. One of the outstanding features of the institution is the children's department, which is aimed to develop the genius of the child before it can be abused or misused. It is expected that this department will be the most popular in the city, because so much rare talent is found in the youngsters in the public schools and parents are desirous of perfecting it. The university offers a limited number of scholarships to students of exceptional talent who have no means of defraying their expenses. Diplomas and degrees will be conferred and prizes will be awarded annually to the star pupils. For terms and other information apply to the CHICAGO UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC, Studio 5002 Wabash avenue. Telephone Kenwood 4500. The officers of the university corporation are Pauline Janus Lee, president; Dr. W. H. Marshall, vice president; R. E. Moore, founder; George Arthur, secretary; L. H. Esters, assistant secretary; S. A. Griffin, treasurer; Irene Gaines, assistant treasurer. Y. M. C. A. News Rev. Charles W.

N. I. A. News The Chicago division of the U. N. I. A. reports excellent progress in December. Three hundred new members were added, making the total membership about 4,300. The financial condition is good and is launching upon the new year with great prospects. Hon. Rudolph Smith, chief of the U. N. I. A. field corps, and Mr. Hodge is still conducting the Liberian construction loan drive, and have not gone from the city as some would have you believe. The skilled men, engineers, surveyors, dredgmen, firemen, steam engineers, carpenters and others, will be sent to Liberia this month to start the construction work. England is willing to loan Liberia $10,000,000 and the United States offered to loan $5,000,000, but Liberia would have to grant concessions that would put the government in a state of dependence. What Negro is so base as to want to see our black republics under the tyrant yoke of England, the blood thirsty, the blood sucking country, who gain control of half the world through lying deceit, called diplomacy; who murder, seduce and otherwise maltreat the darker races? For this reason Liberia wishes to remain free from England's heel of oppression and would not accept England's offer. The United States loan of $5,000,000 means that Liberia would be forced to grant concession to the same Ku Klux Klan who now is sapping the GARY, I For Your F GARY, INDIANA For Your Future Home G located there.

Sunday Evening club presented to a filled auditorium at Wendell's High, on Sunday evening past, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Stafford, who is now employed by the Swift packers. The musical preliminaries were exceptionally good. "Madame Patti, in farewell appearance before going en tour, captivated the vast audience with a high class number. The spirituals, "Steal Away to Jesus," "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," were rivalled by the later productions, "Pick Up de Young Lambs and Fold Them in Your Bosom." Too much praise cannot be given to the rendition by the chorus of "The March of the Toreadors." The Premier quartet (male) rendered "Just As I Am" with a new harmony and variations. The excellent baritone obligato was fine, Messrs. Grundy, Banks, Robinson and Ross. That orchestra "skins" anything in the amateur class and scratches the professionals. Mr. Faulkner Addresses Body. The calm even tones of Mr. Faulkner advised the public of the work of the M. C. C. and of its aims. "Your duty does not end in your honesty, but in the general plan of doing good for and to the general public" he said. The aim of the industrial board of the M. C. C. is to investigate the various situations that do and that might obtain throughout the city, and to seek to harmonize the different antagonistic units. From time to time we hope to have present here citizens from many walks of life to address you and to help to make plain the duty that lies before the progressive spirits of this day." His entire address was spelling binded and lucid. The Hon. Mr. J. P. Stafford, now employed at Swift, stated that he had traveled through over forty states of the union and that everywhere he found that the colored people were as a race or group loyal to the FLAG. This fact had been proven by their record overseas and by the SOFTONE THE MOST PERFECT BLEACH PRODUCED It Softens The Complexion Bleaches and Beautifies Without Mercury New Discovery That Satisfies Science Harmless But Powerful Ask Your Druggist Agents Wanted Mail orders promptly cared for on receipt of 75c Include postage 5c GET RID OF BLEMISHES AND WRINKLES CHICAGO CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CO. 3941 INDIANA AVENUE CHICAGO, U.S.A.

The two comedians of the troupe are actors who are right up to the minute as performers and their work to amuse seemed to be original. The Broadway Rastus Company is a real good show. The Nutty Nut Comedy Concert given by Miss A. Moore and Mrs. M. Purnell at Westley Chapel Church during the past week was quite a success. Among those taking part were Miss Anna Bell Young, J.

"Some one said that the church was doing no good. It is doing good two ways: "Positively, it keeps you in good society. "Negatively, it brings you no harm, but keeps you from sin." We feel certain that this address deserved all of the favorable comment tendered the speaker by Rev. Dr. Cook. He said: "I feel that God has sent this man to us. I believe that he believes that God made all men of one flesh. And truly do we believe in the doctrine of ALL MEN UP AND NO MAN DOWN." The Metropolitan Sunday Evening club is THE winner.

Speaking before the regular monthly musical at Berean Baptist church, 52nd and Dearborn streets, last Sunday night, Prof. Willis N. Huggins, teacher in the Chicago Public schools and editor of The Upreach magazine declared that teachers in large cities in the north and east must become positive factors in community life and help open careers and vocations for the youth of the Chicago Public schools and editor of The Upreach magazine declared that teachers in large cities in the north and east must become positive factors in community life and help open careers and vocations for the youth of the race. "Something should be done," said Editor Huggins, "to cut down the number of our young men and women who stand one day bedecked in caps and gowns and find themselves the next day bound to mops and scrub pails." The address was for the most part a literary one in which much of the history and literature of our people was reviewed from the time of the Egyptians to the present. Diverting his attention from these things, Professor Huggins called for business co-operation, and suggested ways and means through which larger business opportunities might be brought to our children. He told of the choices of occupations made by school children, most of which were "blind alley" choices; types of work in which there was little or no future and oftimes actually vicious. He laid special emphasis upon larger patronage of the Binga State bank and urged an all round "get-together-in-business movement." Dr. Braddan, "the Warrior Pastor" of this church, and Mr. Stovall, chairman of the program committee of the monthly musical, are to be commended for bringing before their people the best thought in the city. Hon Edward H. Morris will be the speaker on February 13. Ex-Senator Allain's Wife Dead Mrs. Aline Allain, wife of the late ex-Senator T. T.

Peck gave encouraging remarks to the young people, Mr. S. J. Young spoke on "Objects and Alms," Mr. O'Bannon presented the combination. Over twenty-two members were added. Their aim is better morals for the younger people: A. E. S. M. Harris, who is an assistant claim adjuster of the National Life Insurance Company of the U. S. of A., and who for the past three years has been serving as one of the clerks and also prayer-meeting leader of Olivet Baptist Church, has returned to Bethel A. M. E. church, where his services are much more needed at this time of church disturbances than they are at Olivet church. Brother Harris as we all know is very broad in his christian profession and states that he is perfectly willing to render services for God in any church which stands for regeneration and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He does not believe in the denominational divisions as they now exist, which seems to hinder the true christian spirit from cementing in the hearts of the followers of Christ. He further believes that there are only two denominations, one is the denomination of right and the other the denomination of wrong. He further desires to make known that he is not leaving Olivet church because of any fault finding, but rather because he feels that his services for God and the church are much more needed in Bethel at this time than they are in Olivet Baptist church which is overrun with competent workers. Brother Harris comes well recommended from Olivet Baptist church for faithful service rendered and Bethel church welcomes his return. How Many Scents in an Onion? How Many Scents in an Onion?

Church Sunday, Jan. 10 Subject: We are the greatest obstacles in the way of the advancement of our young people and what should we improve them?" The Epworth League of South Park M. E. church has its first symposium on "What are the greatest obstacles in the way of the advancement of our young people and what should they do to remove them?" The subject will be treated in seven-minute addresses by representatives from our Negro periodicals. The editors and publishers taking part in this symposium are thinking men and women. They know conditions, the trends of affairs, from many angles and are prepared to give invaluable advice. Every person who sincerely loves the race and is seeking all its around development and at the same time is alive to the fact that the future of the race rests with our present day young people—the conception of life, the things they value and strive to attain and the kind of preparation they are making for the future, should be present at this meeting. The object of the symposium is to get the views of our best and most thoughtful people and those whose experience and observation will make their contribution valuable. It is hoped that out of the many addresses on the subject a young people's program may be formulated that will prove of incalculable service to the race. There are thousands of our young people who are playing blind man's buff with life. They are catching here and there in the dark for what seems to them the best things and often they catch what is evil unknowingly. The aim of the open discussion on this subject will have a tendency to tear off the cloth that darkens their vision and open up to them the paths that lead to self mastery and success. It is doubtful if a program has been presented to the public that contains the comprehensive possibilities and the far-reaching good of the race to the extent this one does. This symposium represents a new order of things. It is the beginning of a new era for our young people. As the pioneer blazed out a way for those who came later and enjoyed the results of their sacrifices, so are our thinking men and women in plain, practical, inspirational and constructive addresses helping to throw light on the path that leads to the things worth striving for. You who read this notice should get as many young people together as possible and bring or send them to this meeting. You cannot afford to miss it, neither can your friend. This discussion will be followed by a moving picture. Fire Hits Gordon Bros Shop Fire Hits Gordon Bros.

ANNOUNCEMENT The Brazilian-American Colonization Sindicate will hold a mass meeting at 35:59 State street, Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Those interested in Brazil are welcome Drunken Cop Runs Amuck Drunken Cop Kills Amuck When Policemen O'Hara and Quinn of the Harrison Street Station, to all appearances drunk and who, according to their own statements, were off duty, attempted to forcibly enter the apartment of Mr. S. Banks, 3510 Michigan avenue, at 2:45 o'clock Tuesday morning, they met with a reception not to their pleasure, as they landed up at the Stanton Avenue police station, and are now facing charges before the civil service commission. It appears that after their stars, pistols and abusive language could not move the occupants of the flat to admit them, they descended to the street and one fired his revolver in the air while crossing Michigan boulevard at 35th street before entering Powers' restaurant, to which place they were followed by Ernest Stevens, in the employ of the government, and one of the occupants of the apartment at 3510. Upon Stevens' complaint, the officers were taken in the wagon to the police station, and charges made against them. The officer who shot is alleged to have removed the empty cartridge and replaced it with a new one in order to avoid having the evidence appear against him. Mr. Stevens insists on having the officers brought to trial and is very much incensed over the incident and is of the opinion, that some holdups might easily be committed in this way by men posing as officers of the law or officers of the law under the influence of liquor. Cook County Bar Association Holds Election of Officers At the annual meeting of the Cook County Bar Association the following officers were elected: Richard E. Westbrooks, president. Chester W. DeArmand, 1st vice-president. Harris B. Gaines, 2d vice-president. Violette N. Anderson, 3d vice-president. William L. Offord, secretary. Oliver A. Clark, treasurer. The following directors were also elected: William Smith. Jephthah Harden. M. H. L. Barclay. Henry M. Porter. James A. Terry. J. N. Baker. Benjamin G. Pollard. There was quite an interest in the election in that the retiring president, Attorney James A. Terry, and Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks were the only candidates for the office of president. Several ballots were necessary as the vote was a tie. Attorneys Smith and Harden broke the deadlock. Preparations are being made for the installation of the new officers.

Pastor Sam Cochran Dies BENY HIS HAND RICE TROOPING? WONDERFUL, WORDER WHAT HE USES? CAESAR AND CHARLES I. HAD NOTHING ON R. "CACKLING" SIMMONS (Special to Chicago Whip.) HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., Jan. 11.—"Cesar had his Brutus; Charles I had his Cromwell," and Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons had his "home-brew" when he staggered upon the rostrum here last Monday night. The vast audience that had assembled to hear the Moses of the race shoot his verbal pyrotechnics in celebration of emancipation day saw him struggling for speech, beheld him in a moundl attempt to astronomize the atmosphere, and witnessing his discomfiture, numerous friendly notes were sent to the stage, prevailing upon him to sit down and sleep it off, but the Colonel refused to be advised, and was "assisted" from the rostrum by the tender hands of the managers of the meeting. Simmons a Favorité The Colonel is a favorite in Hopkinsville, and at least twice a year he comes to this city and delivers his favorite speech, with some revamping and correction. His appearance here was widely advertised and a large audience was present to hear the peerless Moses of the race. The fatal mistake was made to place the social entertainment of the Colonel before the meeting, and it is being said the certain measures of Hopkinsville's famous "home-brew" were placed within the reach of the doughy Colonel. Light as a Feather When Colonel Simmons was ready for his triumphal 'entree into the crowded hall, he steadied himself at the door and gathered his closely fitting Prince Albert close to his beatrice form. It was a cold night and the steam heat of the hall had been turned on to the limit. When this warmth was added to the internal heat that the "home-brew" had generated within the brilliant Moses business picked up. Instead of swaying the multitude, the Colonel himself was swayed by his emotions. He reached out into the realms of oratory for speech, but only the disconnected aphorisms of the "home-brew" came forth. The original Moses got through the Red Sea, but Moses Simmons had been submerged, choked, squeaked by the flow or overflow of the seductive "home-brew." Some of Colonel Simmons' friends dropped him notes upon the stage but the Colonel was past redemption, and after an hour's struggle to regain'a foothold he was ignominiously taken from the stage of his many triumphs limber as a dishrag, but happy in his jag. Hopkinsville is shocked by the fall of Moses, and is wondering just where he was when his light went out. The Armour singers and the Y. W. C. A. girls are giving a song contest at the Y. M. C. A.

Gary, Indiana, the "Magic City" of America, lying twenty-eight miles southeast of Chicago, at the southernmost tip of Lake Michigan, has wrested from the sandy marches of the Calumet region millions of dollars in real estate values for its pioneer settlers. Passengers journeying east and west on the New York Central Railroad from ten to twenty years ago, remember the spot now covered by this thriving city, wrote of sand and rocks and traveling the same route today, they marvel at the change which has occurred in the few short years intervening. World's Greatest Steel Center Today Gary is the home of twelve enormous corporations producing steel and its allied products. Millions of dollars have been invested by the United States Steel Corporation. Great steel mills have been built, and the investment represented in them makes Gary a permanent city. Excellen Transportation Facilities Situated as it is on Lake Michigan Gary is not dependent upon the railroads for its transportation. Railroad strikes could not embarrass industry there. Great lake freighters come and go daily with cargoes of coal and ore Railroads put the city in touch with the great coal and oil fields of Penn sylvanie and Ohio. Forty-five minutes separates Gary from the metro postal district of Chicago. Famous for Its Schools The founders of the city of Gary have seen to it that the school facilities of the city are second to none in the United States, and teachers come from all over the country to study the famous "Gary system" which is being adopted in the most modern schools everywhere. Statistics also show that Gary is one of the healthiest cities in the United States. W. C. Hueston, an attorney, formerly of Kansas City, Mo., and James Goldon, the heads of a group of colored men, have taken over one of the largest real estate concerns in the city and have obtained 17,000 lots of virgin soil. The new concern is operating under the name of The National Realty and Investment Company and is the only real estate concern that is prepared to accommodate the large numbers of colored people that are sure to flock to this city to take advantage of its many opportunities. Thirteen thousand colored people are now living in Gary, and properties which they have been temporarily occupying have been recently turned over to them for permanent homes by the steel corporation. This in itself proves that they have made good. The magnitude of these great industries makes it possible for several thousand more to locate advantageously in Gary. It is expected that many shall flock there because of the economic social, and political advantages offered. "Pop, what is a promoter?"

Pinch the R C 09 F GARY, THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITY Expert particularly as they affect the women and capably filling for four years past an executive position requiring rare tact and ability, Mrs. Blacklidge is modest and unassuming, carrying the honors that have been heaped upon her with equanimity and ease. Our estimate of any public official is generally based upon the consideration accorded us as a race. On that score Mrs. Blacklidge has been weighed in the balance — and not found wanting. As a member of the state central committee she used her influence to the end that a colored woman was appointed for the first time as a member of that committee. Again she demonstrated her fitness for leadership of a cosmopolitan organization by urging and securing the appointment of a colored woman as a member of the committee in charge of the headquarters of the anti-Tammy forces during the last campaign. Mrs. Blackledge is an ideal mother as well as an earnest, active public spirited woman, and stands as a living refutation of the oft-repeated assertion that politics detracts from a woman's loveliness — epitomizing as she does, all the feminine charms and graces. So insistent is the "call of the blood," as enunciated in the Garvey movement, that no person of Negroid extraction can afford to close their ears to the cry that now echoes throughout the globe. Its reverberation has been caught up by our white brother, and the January World's Work is transmitting the message as through a vast megaphone to a world ever alert and listening to a new cry, seeking its source, and—but why trace its effect upon our fairer brother—the call of the blood. This it NOT an admonition to follow, but to KNOW—know myself—know what you and yours are doing. The Irish KNOW DE VALERA. Does the Negro KNOW MARCUS GARVEY?

H. GREEN Successor to R. W. Green FUNERAL DIRECTOR te Street Chicago, Ill. --- THE CHICAGO WHIP It is of more than passing interest to Negro baseball fans to learn that George Herman Lawson, president of the Continental Baseball association. newly incorporated, is a real "grid" enthusiast inasmuch as the color of the players neither adds nor detracts from the worth and pleasure of the national sport as far as Mr. Lawson is concerned. These deductions are gath- P ered from a recent statement of Mr. Lawson's in which he says, "There are at least 100 Negro baseball players in this country who equal in playing skill the best average of the major leagues and who are barred from playing in either the major or minor leagues under present conditions." He added that he contemplated (as president of the new association) the installation of Negro or Cuban clubs in connection with the eastern franchises. We sincerely hope Mr. Lawson will prove a "good sport" and do his bit in letting down the bars in the great world of sport.

On last Friday evening the Queen Esther circle richly entertained the Olivet pastors and their families. Good eats were plentious. The whole affair afforded great merriment and recreation for the pastors. The members of the Queen Esther circle are very pleasant. All of them delight in doing what they can to make their pastors happy. This lovely affair cannot soon be forgotten by any one of the pastors. There were good services all day last Sunday at Olivet. Forty persons united themselves with the church. Two were baptized at the close of the evening services. Next Sunday at 3:30 o'clock the Lord's Supper will be observed at 27th street.

Physicians subscribe to it as a means of health, happiness and longevity. Its life giving potency is recognized in the curriculum of all Colleges. It exemplifies the youngster's wall—"weren't you ever a boy yourself?" It vitalizes—"all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"; and it immortalizes—"men are only boys grown tall, hearts don't change much after all." THESE GREAT TRUTHS awaken a realization that Sport is an Elixir of Life, a Spirit calling EVERYONE to turn at times from the serious side of life to entertainment pure and simple—for the exhilaration of playing a game; or, for the joyful thrills of an ardent spectator; or merely for the pleasure that comes from encouraging others in their chosen recreation; and though many its note of cheer, none should become so callous that the Spirit of Sport cannot be rejuvenated in them, so the call of the Spirit may go forth even unto Sportless 18 GOVERNORS · SEND DELEGATES Would Standardize Boxing Rules in All States, Curb Pictures and Discipline NEW YORK, Jan. 8—Formation of a national body to govern and control professional boxing will be undertaken in this city this month. Delegates appointed by the governors of eighteen states will convene at the headquarters of the International Sporting Club on January 10, 11 and 12. During the three day conference the foundation for a national organization will be laid, and rules and regulations for the standardizations of boxing throughout the nUited States established. The conference is the culmination of more than six months of correspondence, and in some cases personal conferences between the officials of the international sporting club and the governors of the states which will delegate representatives to the meeting. Standardize Rules In discussing the project, William A Gavin, managing director of the International Sporting Club, stated today that it was the intention of the delegates to standardize the boxing rules for each and every state; to adopt a joint agreement to bar any delinquent or offending boxer in all states, is suspended by the national association and so compuls champions to defigne their titles at reasonable fixed intervals or forfeit the title. Abolish Huge Purses It is also the intention of those interested to advocate the abolition of the huge purses which recently have been offered for boxing matches as discrediting boxing, and to work for reasonable admission prices at all matches. It is further proposed to stop the filming of boxing houts as harmful to the sport. The new organization also will cooperate with the national boxing bodies of other nations, with the idea of having one international code for the governing of boxing in order to make the sport clean, wholesome, humane, and to elevate it to the plane enjoyed by other sports and pastimes. Tex O'Rourke, at present matchmaker for the International Sporting club, will be the secretary of the organization. LEG SORES Heated by ANTI-FLAMMA Politice Plaster. Stops the itching around sores.

Cheer to the human heart is what sunshine and moisture are to vegetation The Call of Cheer From the frosts of Winter to the dews of May, there's something new doing in Sports every day, and from the first dew of Spring till the frost comes again, more happens in Sports than is in a fellow's ken.

BASKETBALL EVANSTON "Y" ARE WINNERS The Emerson Avenue Y of Evanston, Ill., flashed sparkling streaks of greatness last Wednesday night when they took the strong Miller Beach five into camp, winning by a score of 33-17. Seward Park Blues, runners up in the A, A, U. championship race of 1919, were originally carded to go against the formidable colored squad, but evidently had reasons to wax shy of the prowess of the Evanston floormen; so the best of the Seward Parks doubled up with others and framed a neat little albi for defeat by going through the tray clothed in Miller Beach togs. Physical Director Dick Lee, had his men framed for any sort of going, and if the form that they flashed in the fracas with the palace-faced foe is a criterion upon which to judge, a suggestion would not be ill-timed, and no doubt many devotees of the basket game would jam the arena if a series could be arranged between the Evanstonians and the Forty Clubs; that is, with conditions so that the full force of the Y men could participate. At one understand it, many subs played in the first game, the regulars refusing to take a part in a game with a dance as a part of the program. The lineup follows: Emerson Y, 33 b. ft. pf. tf.

Swastika Opens Season With Win Over-Akron 29 to 14 The Swastika basketball team journeyed to Akron, Ohio, last Monday night, and handily defeated the representatives of that place, 29 to 14. Bruce started the fireworks for the Swastika's when he registered a held basket after Akron passed up her chance to score from a free throw. Willette and Bruce led in the scoring for the Swastika crew, Willette obtaining 19 points and Bruce 10. Hill, the famous shooter, was off on his basket making, missing several chances, but made this up by his wonderful floor game. That Akron had to obtain five of six baskets from midfloor proves without doubt the sterling work of Rose and Wilson at the guard position. Both teams were slightly handicapped by the slipperyness of the floor. Harmon and Lancaster copped the limelight for the Arkon quintet when they divided four baskets. Swastika— G. F. T.

Scorer's score= CUBANS REFUSE TO PLAY THE BACHARACHS Cuban Manager and Players are Disciplined The Almendares team failed to report at Almendares Park for their game with the Bacharach Giants last week, and money had to be returned to the fans who had already paid their admission. This action of the Almendares team, following their refusal to finish a Sunday game, brought about a rush call to the Baseball League members, who met last week at El Mundo. Senor Abel Linares, owner of the Almendares Club, suspended Manager Lugue and all the players that followed him, and asked the president of the league to allow him twenty-four hours to name a new manager and sign other players, which request was granted. Some Not in Accord It is understood that some of the players are not in accord with Laque's hasty action, but they followed him and the other players through discipline. But the league will punish them, even if they repent, and after making excuses, they will have to pay heavy fines before being reinstated. A game was forfeited to the Havana Reds, and last Sunday's game was also forfeited to the Barcharach Giants It is rumored that a deal is on foot by which the St. Giants will acquire the services of Oscar Charleston, the great outfielder of the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s. Oscar is now employed at St. Louis, having returned recently from a very unfavorable sojourn in Cuba. He is carded to play in the games at Palm Beach, Fla., against the American Giants but may stick to the Mound City job. Rube's gang is in for some awful rocky trudging at the Beach according to the line-up, that Loyd is framing to go against the champions. The Royals are: Santop, Gatewood, catchers; Joe Williams, Ryan Roberts, Cochrell, pitcher; Douglas, 1b; Lundy, 2b; Lloyd, ss; Francis, 3b; Brooks, Blackwell, Barber and Charleston (?) outfielders. The Almendares players decided to go back to Almendares Park and play ball. Manager Luque has confessed his mistake and says that he is really sorry for his recent action in refusing to play ball and finish the game. Mr. Linares is ready to give him another chance which Luque should make good use of. The league president, however, Dr. Adolfo Aragon, insisted that Luque go through his suspension. While he is suspended Joe Mendez is managing the team. NICEL FURNISHED ROOMS with respectable family, 3748 Rhodes Ave., Apt. 1. FOR RENT—Furnished rooms; quiet family; modern conveniences.

The circulation of two dailies, a doean magazines and more than three hundred weeklies—periodicals published by Negro or Negroes and written for Negroes. Through these mediums the Negro gives utterance to his grievances, his aspirations, his demands, in a manner that commends respect and attention of white Americans. To know the Negro you must read his written word, his thoughts as expressed in type and only by reading the Negro press can a realization of his position in National Law be brought home, and the influences being brought to bear upon him.

I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after docov has such relief. I received was only temporary relief. I found a treatment that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden in a rheumatism, some of them 70 to 8 years old, and results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from such forms of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous healing manger. Don't send a cent simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of your rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Organizing the Organizations There are among the black people of America approximately fifty organizations of national scope. Each organization has its leader. Almost all of these heads assume the right to speak officially for the entire black population. Each one of these organizations claims and zealously believes that they hold the only solution for our complicated problems. During abnormal times, the absurdity of this unorganized condition is more apparent than in normal periods. Prior to the late World War, when its advent was inevitable, individually and almost without exception, these leaders rushed to the public press and government officials to express the sentiments of black folk. Thus a myriad of conflicting opinions were heralded throughout the civilized world. None of them were authentic. Most of them were not true. The inadequacy of such disconnected action to accomplish beneficial results may be seen from what little consideration we received for what we contributed for the successful prosecution of the war. Conscription was thrust upon us. Our boys were put in Jim Crow labor battalions. Our highest ranking officers were buffeted about and finally relieved of their command. Not a single remarkable effort was made by the so-called "leaders" to get together, formulate plans and to act in unison to halt these heinous practices. Every other race and nationality that participated in the war called their leaders into conference. They agreed upon a program. They understood what they wanted and proceeded to acquire the desired advantages. When black folk began to migrate North to fill the depleted labor ranks, the diversity of opinion expressed by individual leaders was flagrantly confusing and notoriously ridiculous. Normally, lynching, peonage and Jim Crowism are the most menacing and humiliating evils imposed upon the black people of America. They antedate the black people's freedom itself. Yet, no caucus has been held. No program of national consequence has been initiated to give these evils a timely burial. This lack of understanding and co-operation among the leaders of organizations offers a mean situation. The most insignificant black person cannot escape the injury that necessarily follows. In fact, the rank and file are confused. They know not to whom listen. They know not which program will bridge the chasm between them and their pet dreams—equal opportunity, equal justice. The more intelligent elements are disgusted with those that are responsible for this chaos. The relation between blacks and whites has been estranged. The country has produced "a new white man." He made his appearance in advance of the New Negro. He bases his right to govern himself and others more upon his genius at organization than anything else. His efforts to ferret and carry out systems has caused him to lose the tipsy sentimentality possessed in abundance by his ancestors. No regard has he for confusion and irregularity. It will be a task to organize and bring these chiefs together, but in the name of progress it must be done. The Whip would like to see 1921 include as one of its greatest events a conference of black leaders, representing all of the organizations. If the conference is only for a day and if its accomplishments are no other than agree upon a name for the race in America a healthy precedent will be set. The New Negro will have a model to guide his future actions. He could improve upon this pattern according to the exigencies of the time. The first step will have been taken to bring about harmony from within and likewise bring about a more serious consideration from the "new white man." The Task of the Newspaper The newspapers are truly the mouthpieces of the races, groups, clans and classes. They are the mediums of current happenings, current sentiments. They herald the affairs of the people. It is a matter of common knowledge that newspapers are the sources of more liberal education than all of the universities combined. We have in our race only about 7,500 college graduates. We have uncounted educated individuals upon whom the world has fixed its O.K. These individuals have been lettered and tutored by books, periodicals, magazines and newspapers. The newspaper occupies a unique and indispensable position among our people. Opinions rot and decay, ideas become rusty, history oblivious and progress checked if newspapers do not carry their messages and give the people more liberal education than all of the universities combined. This race of ours is now at the cross-roads. "The destiny that will shape our ends," is before us. If the race is to travel along the road of constructive and progressive evolution, the voice of the newspaper must direct the pilgrimage, marshal the vanguard and keep the people informed on the issues that concern them vitally. Now is the time for the newspapers to seize with intelligent understanding and serious concern the vital issues of the day. In 1863 there were only two colored newspapers, only one of these is now being published, the Christian Recorded. Nevertheless, we have now 472 newspapers and periodicals, classified as follows: Religious, 70; School periodicals, 85; Organs of Associations, and Magazines, 35; Newspapers, 222. With 12 millions of people within our race, it works out that we have only one publication for every 25,000. Making a fifty percent deduction for illiteracy, we find that we have only one publication for every 12,500 readers. This appalling state of facts proves to every open thinker that every colored newspaper should be a medium of high intelligence with diffused information on all matters that concern the race. It behooves all editors to consider all issues that affect the race only after intelligent research and fact finding has been made. It is regrettable that some of our papers are made the object of ridicule and disgust; it is regrettable that some of our papers have no editorials and no opinions on current race issues; it is regrettable that some of our papers have collected a lot of junk and handed it broadcast to the world. It is regrettable that ignorance lurks behind the trenchant pen of a large proportion of our editors. It grieves us to realize that many use "pen and ink thought;" it grieves us that some of our editors have sold us out and avoided important questions because WHAT DUBOIS THINKS OF THE RACE COMMISSION they were paid to "lay off." It is disgusting to us to discover that men have ventured into the newspaper world with base ignorance and without fundamental knowledge of their huge task. Regret, grief and disgust will not change this condition of affairs. It will take the infusion of new courage, a broader vision, healthier thinking and more intelligent editors in order to make our newspapers truly constructive. Legal Hints To Women By Violette Anderson. Attorney-at-Law. Dear Miss Anderson: Can I get a part of my father's property? He died three weeks ago, leaving about $15,000 worth of real estate. He married my step- mother about three years ago, and she says it is all hers. He left no will. I am his only child. J.P.C A. Yes. Have an administrator appointed in the probate court and you will get your share. Dear Miss Anderson: Our landlord sued us for possession of a flat that we occupy, and the judge gave us five days to move out. If we do not find a flat and can't move, what will happen? The landlord will have you dispossessed; that is, your furniture will be put out on the sidewalk on the sixth day. You have no right to remain in the premises after the judgment against you for possession. Dear Miss Anderson: A man contracted to put in weather strips on two buildings for me, in all about $150 worth of work, and I found out afterward I could get it done about 25 per cent cheaper. He has done half of the work and I ordered him to stop and told him I did not want him to go any further with the work. He has done only half of it. Now he has brought suit against me for all of the work-$150—and I would like to know if I have to pay it? I furnished the material. Assuredly, You made a contract and are bound by it. He is ready and willing to do his work if you permit him. You were not obliged to pay the price he asked—you could have inquired before you signed the contract and had the work done at the lower price. He is entitled to the full amount of the contract price, you to your material. My advice is to let him finish the work. Dear Miss Anderson: A very dear friend of mine died at the county hospital last week. Just before she died she sent for me, asking me to bring her rings with me, which I was keeping for her. I did so, and in the presence of the nurse and doctor she gave them all three to me, saying that she wanted me to have them and nobody else. I stayed there until she died a few hours afterwards. Now her husband is suing me for them. Can he get them back? No. The rings were given to you at a time when she knew she was about to die, and if they were hers to give they are yours now. Her husband cannot recover them from you upon proof of the gift while she was dying. Dear Miss Anderson: My husband and I bought a home together; we hold a joint deed and we had it recorded this way: In event of one's death the home goes to the other. If I die first the home goes to him; if he dies first the home falls to me. We have not lived together for quite a while. He lives out of the city with his mother, and I am here and I am very sick. His sisters are trying to get him to make a will in their favor, and in the event he does not make a will they say they can make me sell, because they are heirs. Can his people make trouble for me as hard as I have worked for this home? A MUCH PERSECUTED GIRL. No. If the deed was made in joint tenancy, it will all go to you in the event of his death and they can do nothing. Dear Miss Anderson: My husband left me seven years ago with two little children. He is in Indiana; I in Chicago. Can he be brought here and made to support me? I learned that he has obtained a divorce without my knowledge and is married. Could this be legal? He knows where I was. No. If he really obtained a divorce knowing where you were and did not notify you, the divorce is illegal, but he cannot be brought to Illinois. You must go to Indiana to have the decree set aside. You can prosecute him, too, for bigamy if you have proof that he really went through a marriage without a divorce. We would advise our Chicago friends to watch narrowly the work and forthcoming report of the Interracial Commission appointed by the Governor of Illinois after the late riot. The Commission consists of colored men who apparently have a much too complacent trust in their white friends; of white men who are too busy to know; and of enemies of the Negro race who under the guise of impartiality and good will are pushing insidiously but unsurprisingly a program of racial segregation. They have, for instance, sent a "questionnaire" to prominent colored men, consisting of 15 questions, which, with all their surface tranckness and innocence seek to betray black folk by means of the logical THE CHICAGO WHIP Health Hints Dr. Troy Smith. The term colic is applied to any severe paroxysmal pain occurring in the intestines. It may be due to many causes, such as swallowing certain substances, especially foreign bodies and the seeds of fruits. In some cases, but not near its often as some mothers think, colic is due to round worms. There are also many diseases of the intestine that cause colic, as the most common cause is appendicitis, grassesuspension, meaning slipping of one part of the intestines into another, and severe inflammations of the intestines. For the benefit of nursing mothers, wish to say a few words in regards to the colic of infants. The cause of most cases of colic or infants is over feeding. Oftimes mothers allow their nursing infants to remain at the breast too long or they allow the infant to nurse irregular and too often. Most mothers feed their infants every time they cry. There are two very common things that make the baby cry they are colic and hunger. The cry of colic is usually violent and paroxysmal; that of hunger is prolonged and continuous and is not accompanied with pain and the accumulation of gas. Mothers should not feed their babies every time they cry, first try and find out the cause of the cry. In regard to colic of infants C. G. Grulu, M. D. writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, has the following to say. "While in itself colic perhaps does not materially injure the infant organism, it is nevertheless of great importance because of the disturbance that it produces in the household; furthermore, many physicians do not realize the importance of the breast-feeding of the infant as an excuse for prematurely weaning the baby. This increases the danger to the infant and frequently causes more worry and anxiety to the parent than if the child had remained on the breast, even though colic had continued. For these reasons, aside from the humane aspect of relieving pain in these helpless babies, any treatment that will alleviate the suffering is a boon." The treatment of colic: In the treatment of colic the attempt should be made to help rid the child of the gas; this is done by an enema. At first an injection of four or five ounces of luke warm water should be used to wash out the bowels with an enema tube. If this is not successful 2 ounces of cold water and a teaspoonful of glycerine may be tried. This rarely fails to remove the gas and relieve the pain. In addition to these measures dry heat should be applied to the abdomen by means of hot flanels or a hot water bag and the feet should be kept warm. Food should be withheld for at least 24 hours. If the infant cries for thirst give it warm water. MUSIC OF BLACK PEOPLE TO BE PRESERVED MUSIC OF BLACK PEOPLE TO BE PRESERVED NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 8.—In order that the music of black masters may be preserved, popularized and handed down to posterity, Mr. Harry H. Pace of New York City has organized a hundred thousand dollar corporation to be known as the Pace Record Co. This cofferce is to cut the records of such artists as Harry Burleigh, Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, Madane Anita Brown Patti, Roland Hayes, Madane Hackley, Hazel Harrison, Helen Hagar, Clarence Camron White, Kemper Harrel and other of the celebrities. All Kinds of Music to Be Produced Spiritual as well as synconated and classical pieces are to be recorded. It is thought that inasmuch as this peculiarly musical people have created the only distinctive American music, that the phonographic productions of their works will be acredit to the musical genius of the race. Mr. Pace, the founder and president of the corporations, is well prepared to conduct the enterprise. He was formerly associated with the Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis, Tenn., the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., and at the present time is interested with Mr. Handy of the Pace and Handy Music Company in the production of the Blues and Ragtime offerings.

By subtle suggestion these queries say: If you believe in colored churches, why not in colored ghettoes? Does not Negro advancement increase anti-Negro hatred? Are not Negroes prejudiced against whites? Are not the mistakes of Negro leaders manifest? And so on. Indeed if a professed enemy of black folk and their progress had set out to start a controversy so as to divide the Negroes and their friends in counsel and throw the whole burden of such nasty outbreaks of race hate as the East St. Louis, Washington and Chicago riots upon them, he would have framed just such a questionnaire as has been sent out by this Commission. Legal Catechism Q. My divorce papers were filed the last of June, and until this date my lawyer has not called me. My case numbers are listed and was supposed to be in superior court. Do you think I will get it before this court closes? I have paid my lawyer air but $10 which I promised to pay the day my case is called. Please advise me as to what to do. A. It is impossible. posed to be in superior court. Do you think I will get it before this court closes? I have paid my lawyer all but $10 which I promised to pay the day my case is called. Please advise me as to what to do. A. It is impossible for me to tell you just when your case should be called without looking up the docket on the same. You have not given me sufficient information about your case for any definite answer as to whether there is any undue delay in the case or not. I should advise you to consult your lawyer about it, as he knows more about the standing of this particular case than anyone else. Q. I had my house wired for electric lights. The firm that did the work agreed to do it for $200 cash or for $214 on installments of $17.84 each month until the $214 was paid. I made the first monthly payment as agreed. After that I received a letter from another real estate broker informing me that he had purchased my contract from the firm that did the work and that all other payments should be made to them with 6 per cent interest on the deferred balance, also enclosing some papers for me to sign and return to them. I did not sign or return any papers to them, but ignored all their correspondence and have continued to pay the firm that did the work, and they send me a receipt for same on their own bill heads with their signature. Can the other real estate broker sue me for the interest. A. If you had a specific agreement to pay $214 in installments without interest, then no transfer of the claim to any other party would create any obligation on your part to pay any interest on the amount. The firm to whom the claim may have been assigned cannot have any greater claim against you than the transferring firm had. The question of the proper party to whom you should now make your payments is, however, a very important one. It is probable that the notice of which you speak was a notice of the assignment of the claim, which would bind you to pay the amount to this new firm instead of the former party (without the interest, of course) providing the assignment was really made. You should get a definite statement from the firm that did your work as to whether they have assigned this claim or not in order to determine the proper party to whom you should now make your payments. It is not your duty to settle any such controversy between these two firms if the first one denies having made an assignment of the claim. Q. Nearly six months ago a case I had in court was called up and had a hearing, but owing to the absence of my witness, through my lawyer, was put off until further notice. Since then I have consulted my lawyer several times trying to find out why the delay, and each time I have been put off with some excuse. I have reason to believe it will not be called up again. Can I force them to call it up again, and if so, how and in what way can I have it called up? A. It is impossible for me to say anything as to the standing of this particular case in court, as that can only be ascertained by a search of the records in the same. If you have any GOOD reasons to doubt the diligence of your lawyer you should consult another lawyer and explain the whole matter to him. (Send questions for this column to Herman E.

The White House of the Confederacy, built in 1861, which was the official gathering place of the rebels who denied the government, is to be preserved and be held forever sacred by those who live below the Mason-Dixon line. The legislature of Alabama has made an appropriation sufficient to purchase the building from the state and it will remain where it stands on Bibb and Moultrie streets in the city of Mobile until it decays from age or is destroyed by people who object to the underlying sentiment and feel keenly the un-American spirit that would perpetuate it. GIVES $100,000 TO FIGHT LYNCHING The Galveston City Times informs us that the late noted Texan, Colonel Geo. W. Breckenridge, donated one hundred thousand dollars to the San Antonio Datyty Express to be used to stop lynching and mobbing of black people. This is the largest sum of money ever donated to a single institution by any citizen of the United States for conviction and punishment of persons engaged in murderous operations and lawlessness. Eyes on the Daily Express The black people of America and the citizens who desire law and order throughout the country are eagerly censoring the actions of the San Antonio Daily Express to see if they are to remain faithful to the trust of the dead humanitarian. "The Black Terror in Germany" A Southern White Woman's Lies About French Colonial Troops Now Stationed On German Soil. EDITORIAL NOTE:—The WHIP herewith reproduces "The Black Terror In Germany," written for the American Monthly, a German-American magazine published in New York City by Ray Beveridge, a southern white woman, whose race hatred is apparent in every line of the article. The WHIP'S motive in publishing this article is to expose to the public the sort of poison now being spread throughout the world in an effort to vilify the entire black race. The statements made by the Beveridge woman need no contradiction. Testimonials from German women themselves which have been published in the WHIP from time to time are enough to give the lie to this southern white woman's gospel of race hatred. By RAY BEVERIDGE When I arrived in Mannheim I was mum company of French black soldiers were stern German territory that is not supposed to be territory. A nurse said to me: "Just this empowered by two niggers a few months ago. I begged an acquaintance to accompany Neckar Point. Neckar Point is a narrow isle Neckar and the Rhine and that is separat. This island is one of Germany's most houses, petroleum tanks, engine and railings where workmen live with their family with gun and bayonet. On the opposing negres were sitting; beside them a big room as the negres saw me they grinned as called: "Madame, Madame!" Naturalism the droschke passed on, but the refrain of the stoppe before the awful thing happened to me. In answer to my question as to what neighbor replied: "Such a modest, reserved breath breathed a word of scandal against her that she was chaste there is no doubt; that she." The neighbor then said that if we return it because newspapers get into the hands that take a stroll with a young male friend, they who asked them the time. As it was they had no right to be on the street and girl was within ten minutes from her her passport with her. The niggers the guardhouse and told her young friend refused to leave the girl, one of the fifth leather belt. The boy went to get help and then shed. Two great lusty niggers then used a who nevertheless desperately struggled to assert proves this and also that the little German girl. One of these niggers acknowledged all demanded to three months in prison, but to avail. This little virgin's health has been terrified on the street alone, nights she cannot sleep. Her fear borders on insanity and shuts self if, had she been a woman of position, she demanded reprisals from the French Government preparation could remove the ignominy Berlin if an arrogant patriotic boy pulls man nation is forced on its knees to beg a paid negro legionaries wan'toungly into the above case is, I regret to say, only on many, such, and worse cases. I spoke to another woman, the elderly, was a frill, weak little person and was son from one village to another. It was two black soldiers overtook her. They did desired. Both mother and screened loudly fled her in the ribs with his bayonet, and as the threat with the butt end of a gun so is the beast violated her. When this was done he replied: "No woman can be one. The wife of the mayor of the village — a black man in broad daylight in the center understand what he wanted and tried to endure herself. When he finally had to go told me that during this large crowd that not one of these people helped be the districts have beep so cowed that not a man. I told this to the mayor's wife and me—for then not only they but their entire punished, and even the German nation w When I arrived in Mannheim I was more than surprised to hear that a company of French black soldiers were stationed on Neckar Point, i.e., on German territory that is not supposed to be occupied by the French—neutral territory. A nurse said to me: "Just think! An innocent young girl was overpowered by two niggers a few months ago here in Neckar Point." I begged an acquaintance to accompany me; we took a cab and drove to Neckar Point. Neckar Point is a narrow island that is washed on two sides by the Neckar and the Rhine and that is separated from the motherland by a canal. This island is one of Germany's most important harbors. Aside from warehouses, petroleum tanks, engine and railway sheds, there are numerous dwellings where workmen live with their families. Our cab had hardly passed the bridge when we saw a negro soldier standing guard with gun and bayonet. On the opposite side of the road from eight to ten negroes were sitting; beside them a big black man was washing his feet. As soon as the negroes saw me they grinned from ear to ear and, beckoning to me, called: "Madame, Madame!" Naturally I did not take notice of them and the droschke passed on, but the refrain of "Madame, Madame" followed us. We stopped before the house where the outraged young girl lived and went up two flights of stairs. "No," replied a neighbor, when we inquired, "the Fraulein has gone with her mother to the cemetery; her father died shortly before the awful thing happened to her." In answer to my question as to what moral character the girl bore, the neighbor replied: "Such a modest, reserved girl one soldier sees; no one has ever breathed a word of scandal against her." My acquaintance then said: "That she was chaste there is no doubt; the medical investigation proved this fact." The neighbor then said that if we returned in three-quarters of an hour we would probably find the mother and daughter. We then drove through several streets where children were playing, then through a large district of sheds and warehouses. Everywhere we saw single niggers, or niggers in pairs, lounging about, or sitting in front of their quarters. When we drove back we found Fraunlein X. at home. She was very beautiful and shy. I asked to speak to her alone and she led me into her exquisitely clean little bedroom. With great reserve she related to me her horrible experience. Although I have the courtmartial evidence here on my desk, I cannot publish it because newspapers get into the hands of children. The fact is that she was taking a stroll with a young male friend, and they were stopped by a black soldier who asked them the time. As it was a quarter past nine the soldier said they had no right to be on the street and demanded their passports. The young girl was within ten minutes from her own house and naturally did not have her passport with her. The niggers then said she must accompany them to the guardhouse and told her young friend to fetch her passport. As the youth refused to leave the girl, one of the soldiers threatened to beat him with a pitchfork. The boy then went to get help and the black man dragged the girl into a shed. Two great lusty niggers then used most terrible violence against the girl, who nevertheless desperately struggled in defense of her virtue—the medial attest proves this and also that the little martyr of Neckar Point was a virtuous German girl. One of these niggers acknowledged all the bestiability of his act and was condemned to three months in prison, but was released on account of good behavior. This little virgin's health has been terribly undermined, she is afraid to go on the street alone, nights she cannot sleep and she is ever pursued with terror. Her fear borders on insanity and shame darkens her whole life. I asked myself if, had she been a woman of position, would not the German Government have demanded reprisals from the French Government? I ask myself also what possible reparation could remove the ignominy from the soul of this young girl. In Berlin if an arrogant patriotic boy pulls down the French flag the whole German nation is forced on its knees to beg pardon, but nobody raises a finger when paid negro legionaires wan'tonly outrage German women, girls and little boys. The above case is, I regret to say, only one in many. I have the documents of many, many such, and worse cases. I spoke to another woman, the elderly, respectable wife of a workman. She was a frail, weak little person and was walking with her little five-year-old son from one village to another. It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and two black soldiers overtook her. They clearly gave her to understand what they desired. Both mother and child screamed loudly for help. Then one of the soldiers jabbed her in the ribs with his bayonet, and as she still resisted she was knocked on the throat with the butt end of a gun so hard that she fell to the ground and thus the beast violated her. When this was reported to the French officer in command he replied: "No woman can be outraged against her will." The wife of the mayor of the village —, a big German woman, was attacked by a black man in broad daylight in the center of her own village. He gave her to understand what he wanted and tried to drag her away. She successfully defended herself. When he finally had to give up the attack he kicked her. She told me that during this scene a large crowd assembled. It seems terrible to think that not one of these people helped her—it is a frightful tragedy that whole districts have beep so cowed that not one man dares to defend a white woman. I told this to the mayor's wife and she replied: "They did not dare help me—for them not only they but their entire families would have been horribly punished, and even the German nation would have had to pay." Is it not awful to think of this slavery? I spoke to many attacked and violated women and girls—but only those of irreproachable reputation. I gained enough knowledge to disprove the vile assertions against German women of Karen Bramson and Fritz Goetz. I also have at hand the collected official reports of the last fortnight, and these reports prove, alas, that the cases of violation are increasing. I fear I must stamp Fritz Goetz either as a liar or a betrayer of his country, and of Karen Bramson. I can only think that she is mentally poorly developed, or that she has been insufficiently and incorrectly informed; also that she knows little about niggers and that she is probably subconcecuously a tool of French imperialism. At all events, she is a unique example of a white Christian civilized woman, for she puts her own sex below the black paid French legionaires.

I gained enquiries against German women of Karneu at hand the eclectic official reports of the alms, that the cases of violation are Getzz Goetz either as a liar or a betrayer of him only think that she is mentally poorly educated, that she is not subconsciously a totis, she is a unique example of a white G is her own sex below the black paid French I offer, at any time, to accompany a co-vestigate these matters and will put them in cured and violated women.

They can prove at first hand all these cases of bestiality on the part of France's representatives in Germany. I would also like to call attention to the fact that I wrote to Commander——of the French Commission in Berlin two months ago and asked for permission to visit the French occupied district and the protection of the French Government while I should thoroughly investigate the conditions there. Events proved that the disposition of the feared or did not desire my investigation. I place myself at the disposition of the feared or did not desire my investigation all times if they desire to prove that my statements are false. I also challenge them to come into the open and fight. I appeal to all women, not only those of central countries, but to the women of the Allied countries, too, to go and investigate, prove these conditions and when they are convinced that I have spoken the truth, tag of them to help me protect white women from terror, brutality and demoralization. I close with a small personal episode which proves that not only whites women without moral honor are spoken to and insulted by the French. I was obliged to drive to the Neckar Point a second time, again accompanied by a German acquaintance, and as we passed the place where the soldiers had called to us the day before, again there was the bayonetted guard on one side of the street and opposite apparently the same eight niggers. This time they called "Schweine," i. e., "pigs," after us. I asked the cabby if he had heard what France's noble baddles had called and he replied, "Pigs." Then I ordered him to drive us back, but he refused to do so, saving that the niggers would either beat us or that they would take us to the commander and we would all be severely punished. A crowd of workmen and women assembled about us and implored us not to return, as the French would not only punish us but the entire community. As the cabby could not be induced to return, I left the cab, begging my German acquaintance to remain in the background until I might need him. I went up to the soldier on guard and asked him in German which one of the soldiers had called "Pigs." He replied, "Nicht verstehen." Then I crossed the path and went up to the sitting niggers, who looked at me impertinently and shook their heads, but when I spoke to them in French they jumped up as if an electric spark had struck them. There was one exception—the guilty negro remained sitting. I threatened to go to the commanding officer unless they apologized at once. At that the most intelligent among them said in broken French: "Mon camaradon non savain Madame et erangrange; non dit Schweine a erangranges. Seulement Allemands Schweine." ("My comrade did not know lady foreigner—no say 'pigs' except to Germans.) Then I turned to the guilty one and energetically commanded: "You blackman, get up! Don't dare to sit in the presence of a white person." He jumped up and gave me to understand that he only behaved badly because he thought I was a German. How different this scene would have ended had I been a German woman! And the German population must submit to such occurrences daily. But to be fraak with you, I feel almost as sorry for the poor unicivilized blackmen, who, too, are suffering under these terrible conditions. These poor wretches must be brought to court and one credit. They are but tools, used by a revengeful, hate-filled French imperialism to chastise and humilize a defenseless population.
