Feb. 2. -Attempts on the part of members of the board of trustees of Payne University to move the school from Selma to Montgomery have aroused court proceedings from those who wish to retain the school here. The board of trustees is divided into two factions, those who want the school removed to Montgomery, and those who wish it to remain here. E. W. Stone, one of the trustees who are for retaining the school, Selma, has called the court to oust the present board of trustees in its entirety, and has filed a petition, with the circuit court to that effect. --- VOL. III.—NO. 6 SLAYS PASTOR SEEKING $500 HIDDEN LOOT Slayer Gets $2 And Watch For Trouble. Silleeps All Day Next To Murdered Man. With the aching void in his empty stomach cased by a good meal, Roscoe Thompson, 1529 State St., became communicative and confessed Saturday that he had murdered the Rev. L. L. Burbage, formerly pastor of the Macedonian Baptist Church, 105 W. 18th St., seeking for the aged pastor's reputed board of $500. The aged minister was found murdered Thursday night with his throat slashed. His room was a scene of confusion, as the murderer had turned it topsy-turvy seeking the slain man's treasure. The murderer's search was rewarded with $2 in cash and a watch. A Roomer There Thompson was a roomer at the home of the Rev, Mr. Burbage, and according to his statement, after having bought a meal with the money in the minister's trunk, went back to his room and slept all day within ten feet of the dead body of his victim. He was rounded up with a group of other suspects, and after a grilling examination, agreed to talk if given a "good meal." Suspected of Another Murder After checking over the records, police discovered that John Ziolkowski 37 W. Elizabeth St., had been murdered in the same building on Sept 14, 1920. Chance remarks dropped by the slayer lead the police to believe that he was the murderer in this case also. CHANGE CONGRESS RECORDS TO SUIT SOUTHERN READERS CHANGE CONGRESS RECORDS TO SUIT SOUTHERN READERS New York City, Feb. 2—Charges made by the N. A. A. C. P. from its main office in New York brand certain Southern congressmen as cowards of the meanest stripe, referring to their actions following the recent congressional investigation of the November election frauds. It is charged that Congressman Larsen, of Georgia, and Milligan, of Missouri, sent proofs of the records of the investigation to their constituents in their respective states using the word "Nigger" throughout, and then changed the word "Nigger" to read "Negro" before the records were printed for official use in Washington. It is charged that this procedure was followed to curry favor among their constituents "back home," although the congressmen in question knew that such language would not be tolerated in the official record of congressional proceedings. MASONIC EMBLEM BARRED TO FLORIDA MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 2—When the two rival branches of Masonry appeared before Justice George M. Okell here, each seeking to restrain the other from using the Masonic emblem, the court ruled that neither of the petitioners was entitled to the use of the emblem. Consequently neither branch of Masonry in this state is today using the Masonic emblem in its ritual. LINCOLN STATE BANK INCREASES CAPITAL The Lincoln State Bank has increased its capital from $100,000 to $200,000 is the announcement that is made by Mr. George Liebrandt, President. This increase in capital means that the bank is just that much stronger and gives the bank a larger amount of money with which to work and a larger surplus. Arrangements have been made to allow holders of stock of the bank to take additional stock. This action on the part of The Lincoln State Bank is only another example of their policy to give the best possible service to their depositors. Fire, Not Bomb, Routes 30 Families. Fire breaking out in the basement of the 4-story, 30-flat apartment building at 740 E. 45th St., drove thirty families into the snow early Tuesday morning. An explosion of gas after the fire had reached the roof caused the report to be circulated that the fire was the result of a bombing. This report was denied by Fenton W. Harsh, Jr., the agent of the building. According to Mr. Harsh, there have been three fires in the building lately, which he believes to be of incendiary origin. However, he does not believe that the fires are aimed at him. Damage amounting to $35,000 was incurred. The building was insured against fire for $110,000. MOVE TO OUST PAYNE UNIV. TRUSTEES MOVE TO OUST PAYNE UNIV. TRUSTEES The trustees, the petition sets forth, "have intruded into office in said Payne university, to-wit, as legal trustees; that persons named have not been legally elected, and that without any warrant or authority of law they have conspired together to remove the school from Selma to Montgomery." Date for the hearing of the petition has been set by Judge S. H. Hobbs for February 8. DEFENDS REPUTATION WITH BUTCHER KNIFE DEFENDS REPUTATION WITH BUTCHER KNIFE OMAHA. Neb, Feb. 2.—Mrs. Mattie McNichols, of this city resorted to the use of a butcher knife to resist efforts on the part of Mrs. Emma Polk, 2705 N. 25th St., to besmirch her integrity last Monday, with the result that Mrs. Polk died at the Swedish Mission Hospital. Mrs. McNichols is in jail charged with murder. According to the police, when Mrs. Polk missed $15 of her money she charged Mrs. M. Nichols with knowledge of its disappearance. In the ensuing argument Mrs. McNichols brought forth the weapon with whom she killed her accuser. Sells McNichol the husband of the slayer, received several slashes when he attempted to restrain his wife. CATHOLIC PAPER ASSAILS KU KLUX KLAN NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—(Special)—The first formal utterance of a Catholic paper against the Ku-Klux Klan appeared today in "America," a Catholic weekly published here. The article, by John B. Kennedy, charged the Ku-Klux Klan with being an organization attempting to revive old religious antipathies and classes it as a competitor for "initiation fees" with the Sons and Daughters of Washington, "As far as their patriotic activity weighs in the news scale," the article states, "it is conceivable that there is less news interest in a group of Knights of Pythias bound for a clam bake than in a group of Ku-Klux Knights bound for a 'Nigger bake,' but there is no question of the relative patriotic merit of the two functions." CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY AGENTS HELD FOR LAW VIOLATION RACINE, Wis., Feb. 2.-Officials of the Co-Operative Society of America were arrested here late last week under warrants sworn out for violation of the Wisconsin "blue sky law." They are being held in $15,000 bonds for hearing Feb. 4. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5th, 1921 "LIKE DRY LEAVES BEFORE THE WIND" International Photo The first picture of the scene of devastation wrought in Memphis, Tenn., where fourteen men and women were killed and more than a score injured when a tank car exploded. Flying sparks from a workman's hammer ignited gasoline vapor and fire followed the explosion. --- He came, he saw, and if you had been at the 7th Regiment Armory Tuesday evening February first and witnessed the masterful way Marcus Garvey provisional president of Africa, Pres. of the Black Star Line Co. handled his curious spectators as well as his enthusiastic supporters, you would perhaps say that he conquered. For fully 45 minutes he held his audience spellbound. Unlike must present day speakers Garvey did not rely upon his cloquence to support his claim upon leadership; he employed logic and presented new historical facts about the causes and remedies of the Black Man's problems. 6.000 Present Despite the inclement weather over six thousand people assembled in the spacious barkracks to greet the man who has caused such a sensation throughout civilization. Reporters from practically every daily and weekly newspaper were on hand. His friends from the department of justice were represented by a large delegation, geographic reports of his speech were ken. The speaker did not fail to take advantage of the opportunity to make them understand that he was aware of their presence and that he was unafraid. The curiosity seekers who perhaps were just as much of an eye sore to the speaker were lashed into conversion by eloquence and logic of the speaker. When he was in the height of his discussion the change that came over their faces was so rapid that a degarotype was highly impossible. Flays Unce Tom's. After exposing the exercising crises-thru which he and his followers have passed to nurture his movement to its present size, he took a rap at the "old crowd" pussyfooting REFUSES JIM-CROW ACCOMODATIONS; STANDS GROUND WITH GUN REFUSES JIM-CROW ACCOMODATIONS; STANDS GROUND WITH GUN LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 2.—Refusing to accept accommodations set aside for "Negroes" on the Broadway car here, Trevis Porter, an employee of the Seefbach Hotel, pulled his gun and stood his ground, threatening to "fill anyone with holes" who attempted to move him. He was finally persuaded by the police to surrender, and submit to arrest, Charges of disorderly conduct and carrying concealed weapons were filed against him. leaders. He declared that they were the greatest handicaps to the progress of the Race. To drive his point home he used the persecution of Christ by his own people as an illustrations. "When Christ came to Rome preaching Gospel the Jews had no judges or public officials of their own race holding office, but they kept mugging and condemning the Nazarene until the Romans were forced to punish him by death. I have been led about and persecuted by my own race in the same manner. I have been jailed and shot. I may be killed, but in the language of the poet "he gains by death who has such a means to die." I would rather be dead than a slave." WAS BRAINS OF HUGE COUNTERFEIT GANG KNOXVILLE, Teen, Feb. 2. — With the conviction of James Walker in the United States Circuit Court here, it is claimed that one of the biggest gangs of counterfeiters in the United States has been smashed. It appears that Walker, although a colored man was the head and brains of the gang, and had scores of men both white and colored working under him. The gang's specialty was making counterfeit 50c pieces, and it is said they flooded not only the south, but the entire country with them. COOLIDGE TELLS RAGE TO BE APPRECIATIVE ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 2.—Vice President-elect Coolidge speaking to our people here Sunday night "sprained his ankle" when he told his hearers that they should be appreciative of the good done them by their Southern white neighbors. He said that in spite of the fact that Northerners had sent educators South, the Southerners had done even. BIG JUMP IN ST. LOUIS POPULATION ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 2. - Census figures show an increase of 58.3% among our people here since 1910. It was numbered as 69,603, an increase of 25,643. In Topeka, Kas., figures showed a population of 4,297, or a decrease of 241. LINTON ENTERS STRUGGLE FOR ALDERMAN Declares We Must Have New Blood or Perish Sunday evening was a day of enjoyment to the citizens committee which has been prevailing for sometime with Hon. William C. Linton to make the race for Alderman, 2nd Ward. He accepted the nomination and agreed to make the race in the interest of civic, social and industrial betterment for the black people in Chicago. In accepting, the Hon. William C. Linton to make the race for Alderman, 2nd Ward. He accepted the nomination and agreed to make the race in the interest of civic, social and industrial betterment for the black people in Chicago. In accepting, the young candidate said that he was aware of the opposition which had waxed fat financially from the toll which had been collected from Syndicated vice and that it would place every possible barrier in his way, but that justice and decency forced him against his will to make the race. With a grim and determined look upon his face he pounded upon the desk and said that, "I believe that if black men ever expect to gain the respect of their white brothers, that they must get rid of the old crowd grafting Uncle Toms. The time was never more ripe than now. We must replace them with new blood or perish." Announce Platform With his usual positive manner and deliberativeness the young candidate declared that he would make the race upon the following platform: To demand the city of Chicago to immediately settle all riot claims and recompense thousands of innocent victims who suffered in that great disaster. The establishment of municipal day nurseries in the communities of the poor working classes. That he would attempt to bring about criminal actions against all the politicians who are holding up the proprietors of illegal resorts for forty per cent of their profit. By way of explanation he said that he did not condone vice in any form, but a politician or custodian of the law who forces the proprietors of gambling houses to pay them toll are just as much robbers as the "Red Swater Bandit" and should be dealt with accordingly. I will use my vote in the city council to force the traction company to employ black people in positions higher than porters and scrub women. Aid Business Men "I shall introduce an ordinance to lower the sewers in this district and to 5 CENTS PAY NO MORE NSAS' RKAN WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—It is a fair statement that the most remarkable testimony before the ways and means committee during the hearings on the tariff at this session was given a few days ago by Prof. George W. Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., in behalf of the peanut, with incidental observations on the sweet potato. Starting off with the proposition that the peanut and the sweet potato constitute together "a perfect conservation" for humanity, and that if all the other vegetable foodstuffs were destroyed all the nutriment in them could be supplied with these two products of the soil, the Tuskegee specialist proceeded to astonish the committee and the spectators by exhibiting peanut derivatives which they had never dreamed of. For instance: Carver—"A short time ago we found how to extract milk from peanuts. Here is a bottle of peanut milk. It is absolutely impossible to tell that from cow's milk in looks; the cream rises on it the same as on cow's milk; and, in fact, it has much the same composition. This specimen is made especially for ice-cream making. It makes the most delicious ice-cream that I have ever eaten." Congressman Carew—"How does it go in a punch?" Carver—"Well, I will show you some punches." (Laughter), "Here is one with orange, and here is one HARLEM THEATRE PAYS $250 FOR JIM CROWING NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 2.—For the first time in the history of this state the criminal side of the law has been invoked for the protection of our people against Jim Crow practices. It resulted in the management of the Alhambra Theatre, 120th street, and 7th avenue, paying to the plaintiff $250 out of court in addition to drawing a sentence of 10 days in jail. CONFESSES MURDER TO GAIN WARM PRISON BERTH CAIRO, Ill., Feb. 2.—Desperate at being unable to find warm sleeping quarters, and unable to break into jail any other way, James Forbes, of Waycross, Ga., applied at police headquarters yesterday, and in order to obtain entrance there, admitted the murder of William Brown, of Waycross. He confessed that he had escaped from the Georgia prison farm on Dec. 12, where he was serving a life sentence for the murder of Brown. Following his confession he was gladly given warm sleeping quarters. also enlarge them in order that basement facilities can be enjoyed as well as the employment of Chicago Jobless thousands." Many Supporters The office of the Chicago Whip has been flooded with letters from both races wishing the Editor victory in the race and pledging their moral and financial support, --- EIGHT PAGES "Kill Him, We'll Stand By You." Pittsburgh, Feb. 2. — These were the words shouted by forty or fifty white women in court last week as Mrs. Lillian Bangham, white, pressed the muzzle of a pistol against the side of William Wilson, on trial for attacking the woman. The scene occurred while court was in session. Mrs. Bangham snapped the trigger, but the pistol failed to explode. In the meanwhile the female mob shrieked their approval of her action. CARVER AMAZES CONGRESS WITH THE PEANUT CARVER AMAZES CONGRESS WITH THE PEANUT --- Continued on Page 2 Suit was brought by Victor R. Daly for alleged discrimination, and the defendant was given 10 days in jail. Using this decision as evidence, Mr. Daly instituted a civil suit for damages. Knowing they were beaten, the management settled out of court for $250 rather than go through the undesirable publicity again. --- Many Supporters PRICE FIVE CENTS ANGRY THREAT FOLLOWS UP LYNCHING Prominent Lodge Man Swallows Burning Embers To End Misery. NODENA, Ark., Feb. 2.—"We will burn every 'Negro' lodge in Arkansas," is the savage threat made by ruthless outlaws here following the horrible burning of Henry Lowery here last week. Sav Lodges Stir Up Unrest The authors of this nefarious threat justify themselves by claiming that the lodges throughout the state are the seat of unrest among the people, and that in the secret councils of the state's fraternal organizations, the spirit of resistance to Southern white oppression is developed. Lowery Prominent Lodge Man Henry Lowery, the murdered man, was prominent in fraternal circles, and his last request was that he be buried at Magnolia, Miss., with fraternal rites. The murdered man had been accused of murder and had fled to El Paso, Texas, from where he was preparing to cross over into Mexico. He was arrested to be brought back to Hurrell, Ark., to be tried for murder. He was intercepted and burned to death near this city. Cooked by Inches With their prisoner chained to a log, the members of the mob set a fire with dry leaves. Gasoline was added to the flames, and Lowery was slowly cooked to death by inches. More than 500 bloodthirsty Arkansans stood by and watched while their victim burned to a crisp. Tries to Eat Coals of Fire Not once did Lowery beg for mercy in spite of the fact that he suffered one of the most horrible deaths imaginable. In inch by inch the fire was fed until the prisoner was cooked to the waist. It was then that he seized a glowing ember and tried to swallow it in order to end his misery. Governor Attacks Sheriff Following the lynching Governor McRae issued a statement bitterly attacking the sheriff and his deputies, saying that the officers apparently turned the prisoner over to the mob with lamblike docility. The governor is about to recommend to the legislature a bill removing any sheriff who permits or fails to prevent a lynching in his county. BILLIARD BALLS FLY IN EAST CHICAGO East Chicago, Ind, Feb. 2.—Billiard balls and cue sticks filled the air here Friday night in a free-for-all fight which narrowly missed developing into a race riot, when Joseph Lee, white, attempted to eject two men from his poolroom at 4902 Melville Ave. The fight rapidly, grew to enormous proportions until 1,200 men were engaged in the fight. Police reserves arrived and quelled the fight before any fatalities occurred. HOLD CHATTANOOGA MINISTER FOR BIGAMY CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 2. —State and Federal officers are investigating the case of the Rev. Fuller, of this city, following his arrest for bigamy. Government officers will probably also indict him for violation of the Mann Act. Rev. Mr. Fuller became involved in trouble while holding revival services in Dublin, Ga. Although married, he fell in love with a young woman of that city, took 'her back to Chattanooga, and married her. He then took her to his home where his original wife and eight children were living. Neither of the two women at that time knew the other was the wife of the minister. He has been carried back to Dublin for trial. BARCLAY HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE. Atty. M. S. H. Barclay, 3102 State St., was arrested on a capias Tuesday and held in jail for a serious charge in default of $10,000,00 bonds. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures. In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Henry Lincoln Johnson has returned to Atlanta, Ga., and is in the feud of Ben Davis and his enemies. "Old Linc" is still a catspaw and will remain one as long as it affords him three square meals. His press agents will say that he is fighting for his race, but Mr. Johnson is doing precisely the same thing that he did in Chicago and that is to fight for place for his feet under the table. Mr. Brisbane states that the minds of the lynchers are abnormal and that they cannot appreciate what they are doing. This would probably explain the mob psychology in rare instances, but when the crime is premeditated for weeks at the time and is heralded by publication and celebrated with feastings and songs, it appears to us that the lynchers are not raving madmen but calm, cool, calculating criminals who put no premium on human life and suffering. The Ku Klux Klan, founded by an illiterate Rebel, General Forest, is reaching to our utmost surprise and amazement quite a few of the intelligent white people of the North. If the capitalists object to direct action and force from the labor unions, why do they condone the same program of the Ku Klux? Something seems "rotten in Denmark." In Nodena, Ark., a human being of black skin, was chained to a log, his body saturated with gasoline and a torch applied to combustible materials at his feet. The flesh fell from his charring bones, and in the agonies of death he sought to allow red hot coal to end his excruciating suffering. The coals were snatched from his reach and the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy chuckled with hellish glee. Land of the Free, and home of the Brave. Robert L. Mays, President of the Railway Men's International Benevolent Association, who recently was "mentioned" as Director of Negro Economics, is now being mentioned as President of the "Great Mutual Casualty Insurance Co." He will next be mentioned for President of the United States, if he has anything to say about it. Remember the advice of Cardinal Woolsey to Oliver Cromwell, "charge thee to fling away ambition." If Mr. Mays will attend to the inside affairs of the Railway Men's Organization, he will have his hands full. Let us hope. "FRESH EVERY SECOND" Home Made Cream DOUGHNUTS COCOANUT, PLAIN, CHOCOLATE, CARAMEL Bell & Collings Doughnut Shop 10 EAST 35th STREET says: While it is not my desire to steal any of the Editor's thunder on "common law wives," he did, however, strike an important key note in his efforts to direct the attention of the people to one of the most pernicious evils which engulf our social strata. It appears from common observation that this mode of social procedure has really superceded the rights of the church and state in its efforts to legalize marriages. This loose manner of living can really be traced to various causes. It may be said, and with some degree of truth, that the economic conditions have had a whole lot to do with these "loveless" unions. The remark has often been made by women (those whose minds run in the lower channels) that "if I can get some man to pay my room rent, all else comes easy." As a matter of fact, these women may not be bad at heart, but their desire to evade the actual responsibilities of life and to travel the path of the least resistance at the expense of their morality overwhelms the potential influence for good. Then there is another contributing evil. That is the housekeepers. The people who are forced to pay large rent for flats are ill prepared to meet the necessary expense except resorting to questionable methods to secure the "wherewith." Hence, we have what is called "the liberal landlady" who tells her roomers, "You can go as far as you choose, so long as you do it quietly." Thus, the license is issued to do anything, sponsored, of course, by the ones having authority. So it is seen that the source of the evil has its infancy in the conduct and management of the room renters. There are also other attending evils which were attributable to the same social menace, namely, "the lady advisor," who makes a specialty of selecting certain kinds of looking girls and feeding them upon the propaganda that "they are too good looking to work and that if I had your appearance and shape some man would be taking care of me." This particular species of women is detrimental to our social environment and, in fact, is threatening the stability of the respectable womanhood. It is her who arranges the meeting places and coaxes the coming together of weak-minded women with men of questionable morality and in the final analysis it is her who devastates the standing and respectability of the young women and makes possible disease, dishonor and shame. It is hoped that the editorial will find a responsive chord in the minds of the thinking people to the end something beneficial will result from the thoughts presented. To The You Know 'Em Editor I know you know that little girl with the brown coat that looked like seal skin who boarded the State street car at Madison street, Saturday afternoon about one o'clock and tried to attract the attention of every man on the car who would look at her. Well, tell her she couldn't "vamp" a lamp post in a dark alley and it looks bad in a street car. I know you know that doctor that had a smash-up on one of the boulevards. Oh you must know his tall form and "self possessed air." Well, his nose is getting better and some seem to think that the little "fay" girl might have given him some injuries before the accident happened. Those rides do cost a lot sometimes. You must know those "loop hounds" who are trying to get "all of the joy out of life" no matter how much it costs. Well, tell the dear girls that sooner or later one of those porters or doormen are going to tell their husbands about their companions at the various loop cabarets and then they will "let it alone" or look for a new home. I know you heard about that pajama party the other night which broke up in a fight and a race for "cover"? Well you must know about it because that prominent chiroptodist wore home a kimona when he took a taxi from the residence of the friendly beauty culturist. I know you know that thin lady on Calumet avenue, who has been taking "powders" to make her stout because that "gentleman" friend said he did not like "skinny ones". Well, tell her that powders won't do it and the herb doctor has other reasons for his "treatments." I know you know that "gang" that comes out of that beautiful apartment at day break telling how they broke. Well, that place may belong to the "syndicate" but they enter that apartment with too many knocks and raps to have real safety. Oh, you must know that enterprising old skate who thinks he is born to lead the race because he has a large "clientele." Well, the lady who let him have her diamond ring to have repaired wants it back as she thinks three months is long enough time to have a new one made or pay off the interest to Old Eli. I know you heard all about that "fair lady" who is the wife of one of our coming barristers and how she made a hurried exit from a "white light" cafe cabaret on the North side when Nosey entered. Well, tell her that Nosey says he won't tell because it might make it more difficult to explain her late hours.

ALL PHONES CANAL 294B CHICAGO "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL OI NOSEY WAS trying his best to get home last Saturday morning and was staggering east on 35th St. He paused for a minute at 35th and Prairie Avenue to rest his swelling feet and looked upward in pain. His eyes rested on a figure in bloomers, silk stockings, and showing a shock of bobbed hair, red lips and arched eyebrows, black as night. Nosey wabbled a hand in the direction of the figure and the red lips opened to say, "Hello kali, first flat up." This was enough for Nosey, tired as he was, so he hurled his shoe which he had for a moment removed at the figure in the window and barely missed his mark, for which he was thankful because as bad as his feet hurt, he did not want to walk in the snow in his sock feet. Nosey naturally inquires if this figure ever called to you, from above? ONE VERY often sees signs in the windows of beautiful houses that tell the passbyss that there are rooms for rent there. Nosey saw one of these and has been planning for some time to enter several of these to see how they look inside and get acquainted with the people who live there. Nosey got into one of these "nice" houses last week and "laid it down first" for a week. The first thing he heard was an argument about black pajamas. One gentleman claimed he had never seen such an article. The other informed him that the pair he just took off were as black as any pair of pajamas could ever get. Now this was the real cause of the excitement which drew such a large crowd in front of the house that morning even though the landlady told the crowd that it was a fire in the basement. Naturally there were other things which Nosey has to tell but, says, "ye cannot bear them now." SOMETIMES NOSEY drops into a certain barber shop to have his horny nails "fixed up." Well, the last time he went to that shop he did not see the girl that usually, did the job. On asking what had become of the fair one, he was informed that she had left town with The Town Topics, musical show. Well, Nosey fell into this shop recently and was informed that the lady had reached town after some difficulty from Pittsburg where the show disbanded, and she is now doing duty in yet another line of endeavor. Nosey thought at the time that it was rather quick work for her to become an actress over night, but marvels more when he learns of her latest vocation. All this shows that you can never tell what's in a person until they try it out. THE CHICAGO WHIP EVERY NOW and then Nosey has to issue a warning. Some weeks ago Nosey told everybody not to turn up his nose at him as it made him mad as a hornet. A nice little girl refused to dance with Nosey not long ago at a little dance that was given over at The Unity and Nosey put her down on his little black book" for stungference. "Friday evening at about eight o'clock Nosey saw her with her white employer her up to the door of one of those funny looking hotels. Now the little girl might have been hungry and thought she was going to dinner but Nosey has different ideas about the matter because he knows they do not serve meals at that hotel. Nosey has not seen the little girl again since this incident but when he does and she tries that "turning up" the nose stuff, Nosey is going to take to soap box oratory and use her as a subject. Boosters Column By Georgia H. Jones The aldermanage battle in the Second Ward promises to be highly interesting and Alderman Louis B. Anderson is going to have a "hot fight" on his hands. P Wm. C. Linton, editor of the "Whip," has been pitted against the present incumbent and will certainly prove a worthy opponent, representing as he does the younger element in public life in that district and epitomizing the aggressiveness and progressive spirit of the "Jew Negro." There is no telling what a young fellow with the ability and following of young Linton may be able to do. Of eight candidates filing in the Third Ward, one of them, Dr. Wm F. Garnett, is a colored man. Dr. Garnett was urged to enter the race by a committee of representative citizens from all factions, who believe that the psychological moment for the solidification of the nine thousand black votes in the ward has arrived. This is a non-partisan election and the people have the opportunity of choosing from the list of candidates the one whom they believe best fitted to serve their interests in the Common Council. In the Fourteenth Ward, Mrs. Lulu Sims, a colored woman, has filed for the aldermanic race. Mrs. Sims has the distinction of being the first negro woman to have filed for such office in this city. She is also the only person of color on the ticket from that Ward and will no doubt poll a large vote, as the west side district has a goodly colored vote. Warren B. Douglas certainly did remember the Third Ward (according to his pre-election promises) for sending him back to the General Assembly when his case seemed all but hopeless. He has given Mr. C. J. Shepard, 600 E. 43rd, of the Loyal Third, a lucrative position in the sheriff's office—however any request to say, that Mr. Shepard was not listed among the ardent workers for Douglas who gave him from 500 to 700 votes a precinct (thereby making it possible for him to have patronage to dispense), but it seems that his chief claim on the honorable statesman is due to the fact that he is his brother-in-law. C. Coerates, the quest is still on—and alas, our idol has feet of clay. just begin with the peanut. I have with me a number of other things produced from the peanut—probably 25 or 30 others, including various wood dyes and stains." Of course, the witness described the numerous uses of the peanut which are familiar to the general public—the butter and the oils made from it, and the many confections. He also described peanut cake for breakfast food, and a combination of peanut-meal and "peanut hay" which mixed with molasses and chinaberry, makes a valuable tonic food for livestock. There seemed to be no end to his magic. This was one of his striking statements in conclusion: "If we think of how the peanut is used, it is the only thing that is universally used among civilized and uncivilized people, and all sorts of animals like it. It is a natural diet that was intended that everybody should use." Here Chairman Fordney asked Prof. Carver what school he had attended.

He was my instructor for six years." Congressman Carew—"You have rendered the committee a great servive." Congressman Garner—"I think he is entitled to the thanks of the committee." (Applause.) The Chairman—"We want to compliment you on the way you have handled your subject." It was at the suggestion of Representative E. E. Holland, of Suffolk, that the United Peanut Associations brought Prof. Carver before the ways and means committee, and he certainly made a hit. Attorney A. L.

He met her in The Entertainers one night and thought that he had made such an impression that he could go out there and hang his hat for the rest of his life. He had not counted on the big man who came to the door. The "Great Lover" does not know yet whether it was brother, father or husband who came to the door but one thing is staying with him and that is that every "fay" that comes to The Entertainers is not necessarily looking for an Othello. He is safe from ridicule, however, because the black eye does not show up so you can see it. Nevertheless the Black Romco will do well to throw his bouquet into arms of a Dark Juliet, and maybe he will not be embarrassed or inconvenienced with any more black eyes.

I heard someone ask what kind of a box this is. It is a Pandora's box, I guess; it never gets empty. Here is a bottle of buttermilk; very rich in fats, and very delightful." Congressman Hawley—"Is that made from the peanut?" Carver—"Made from the peanut milk; yes sir. And here is another very attractive product of the peanut—an instant coffee. And this is a bottle of Worcestershire sauce from peanuts." Chairman Fordney here called for order in the committee-room. Committeemen and spectators were all amused as well as interested. They wondered what was coming next. It is safe to say that the committee will never think of the peanut hereafter as a small proposition. Carver (proceeding)—'Now, the peanut milk has about the same amount of curds that cow's milk has, and the curds can be taken out and made into the various fancy cheeses such as the Neufchatel and Edam . . . Now, this is a pomade—a face cream, just as soft and just as fine as the famous almond cream, and it has the quality of vanishing as soon as it is put on. Then we have here a bottle of ink. I find that the peanut makes a very fine quality of ink . . . And here is a bottle of mock oysters. The peanut curds can be made into mock meat-dishes so thoroughly that it is impossible to tell them from meat . . . We are going to use less and less meat just as soon as science touches these various vegetable products and teaches us how to use them." Congressman Carew—'Did you make all of these products yourself?' Carver--Yes sir; they are made in the research laboratory (at Tuskegee). The sweet potato products number 10 to date.

THE YOUNG MEN'S SOCIAL UNITY CLUB MAKES DEBUT 1,000 People Witness First Program—Rev. L. K. Williams, Sponsor. In keeping with the plan of church extension work, as outlined and followed by Rev. L. K. Williams of Olivet Baptist Church, 31st St. North Park, avenue, he has conceived a plan for the church to be a place and the community will be given an opportunity for further self-determination along lines of Christian activity and good citizenism. This conception has been organized the Y. M. McDonald, president. Primarily their development is to be encouraged along literary and spiritual lines, later toward that to which they belong. Mr. E. B. Knox acted as master of ceremonies and well outlined the purpose of the young organization. (Stenographic report of the Y. M. McDonald, president, a great solo by Miss Sallie B. Johnson, accompanied by Olivet's "Sweetheart," Miss Henrietta Holland, the president was present, wonderful address, The Man of the Hour." "Duke" McDonald (W. D. J.)

The Novel Feature A number of letters from these young men, the girl Girl World Marty, were read to the public. The letters were upon by the pastor, L. K. William, Merriment, solemnity and religious instruction were harmonized by the clever master of letters, Eugene C. C. The debut was by far the best in the city reported for the day, and eagerly the public awaits the like program to be given next Sunday week by the girls. Their letters will follow. These young men also meet Sunday afternoon with the Standard Literary Society at 3:30 p. m. Public invited. MT. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH The public is cordially invited to attend the services at Mt.

Oliver Notes The services at the Olivet Baptist Church were well attended at all places of worship last Sunday, and the children of the Club reenacted a program at South Park School nursing. A number of the young men had sent letters to the pastor describing the ideal woman, and the church was filled with a powerful message to the young people. The church has opened a free lunch room at the Street church house, and fed over 4,000 destitute families, both white and colored. The young men will have a grand debate at the church, and the test will be, "Universal Suffrage for Women." Special service next Sunday, the Lord's Supper will be observed in the morning and a big baptizing in the evening. All are welcome. THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO By ROBERT T.

The progress of the Negro Race in America has been the result of its attitude toward the problems of the day are factors to be recognized in the interests of national unity and harmony. The Negro has a voice in the Press and is a major factor in the circulation of two dailies, a dozen magazines and more than three hundred weeklies—periodicals published by Negroes, published by Negroes and written for Negroes. Through these mediums the Negro gears up, grapples, graves, advances, inspires, his demands, in a manner that commands the respect and attention of white Americans. To know the Negro you must read his written word, the Negro he possessed in life, only by reading the Negro press can a life be brought to a position in the Nation.

The country fair was in full swing. Airguns cracked, showmen bellowed, and sweetstuff venders cried their wares. Apparently one of the chief sights of the show was a portable stable, outside which stood a man attired as a groom, waving his arms Apparently one of the chief sights of the show was a portable stable, outside which stood a man attired as a groom, waving his arms about excitedly. "Here you are, gentlemen!" he howled. "One of the greatest wonders of this or any other age. Walk up and see the great freak of nature! Come and see a horse, living, with the tail where his head ought to be!" This harangue brought up a large number who cheerfully paid their money, and proceeded into the interior of the stable. Imagine their surprise on seeing a horse placidly contemplating them with his tail tied to the manger. The enterprising showman only gave one exhibition. The Fish Book. Books and manuscripts have been discovered in strange places and by astonishing processes, but the recovery of that work which is known as "Vox Piscis"—the fish book—is a most extraordinary occurrence. It was on June 23, 1626, when a codfish was brought to the market in Cambridge, and when opened it was found that its stomach contained a book, much colled and covered with some glue; it had been wrapped in saled cloth. It was a work written by John Faith and comprised a number of treatises on religious and other matters. Strange to say, Faith had been confined in a fish cellar at Oxford, from which he was removed to the tower and then burnt at the stake for his adherence to the reformed religion. The authorities at Cambridge reprimed the work, which had been completely forgotten until it turned up in this strange manner. PLENTY OF GROUNDS PLENTY OF GROUNDS 1st Friend: Hello Bill!

A period of religious instruction is required by Javanese marriage customs for both bride and groom before the marriage, ceremony takes place. The young man starts instruction by paying daily visits to the priest of the village, and learning all the complicated phrases which he will have to utter on the day of his wedding. The pupil is placed in a tank of cold water and stays there submerged up to his chin while the priest stands over him and reads the Koran, the performance taking place in front of the church. The girl begins her preparations for the great day by several weeks of semirstaration, during which time she takes only sufficient rice and hot water to sustain life. Because of this hunger strike, enforced by custom, she loses considerable weight, an enacrated bride being considered a thing of beauty on the island of Java.

Frisbey is one of the politest men you ever met, according to his friends. One day he was cycling along a broad road, when he espied ahead a lady, also cycling, who was wide of figure and uncertain as to steering. Fearing an accident he rang his One day he was cycling along a broad road, when he espied ahead a lady, also cycling, who was wide of figure and uncertain as to steering. Fearing an accident he rang his bell. The lady promptly wobbled frantically and eventually dismounted, with more speed than grace. Frisbey hurried to her assistance, to be met with a spiteful remark: "Do you want all the road" "Na, madam," replied Frisbey, courteously. "I abominate selfishness. I was simply desirous of being permitted to make use of the small portion which you were not using." Bessie, the kinkajou, at the zoo, is the wonder of the inmates of the small cat house, for she can climb up her own tail, says the London Chronicle. If you see Bessie yawning you will know that she has been giving "mathees" in return for grapes and bananas, for the kinkajou is a nocturnal animal and should pass the day in sleep. She is very much attached to her keeper—as you would agree if you saw her hanging from his finger by the tip of her long prehensile tail. When tired of gazing at his feet she obtains a more cheerful aspect by arching her back, seizing the base of her tail with her hand-like paws and climbing up it. Betty Would Be Starched. Betty, aged three, asked numerous questions. One day, while her mother was washing, she asked: "Why do you starch clothes, mamma?" Her mother fold her that clothes did not look nice if they weren't starched. The next day Betty asked her mother if she looked all right, and her mother said that she should put on a clean dress, and Betty said: "Oh, mamma, you can starch me instead."

Gary, Indiana, the "Magic City" of America, lying twenty-eight miles southeast of Chicago, at the southern-most tip of Lake Michigan, has wrested from the sandy marches of the Calumet region millions of dollars in real estate values for its pioneer setters. Passengers journeying east and west on the New York Central Railroad from ten to fifteen years ago remember the spot now covered by this thriving city as a waste of sand and marsh, 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 Pennsylvania and Ohio. Forty-five minutes separates Gary from the metropolitan district of Chicago. A girl stands on a stool in front of a large wooden cabinet with a glass top and a metal frame. THE NEW YORK TIMES 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 Rock 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.

LIEUT ENRIGHT PROVES SELF FOR WORKSHOP & SCHOOL ON December 29th, 1920, several police officers of the Stanton Avenue station which is commanded by Lieut. Enright, arrested William Wright, 3200 Indiana Avenue, and charged him with robbery upon the statement of one Omar Chang, who claims to be a direct descendant of Omar Khayyam, the tent maker. The arrest was caused by Chang's jealousy of Wright over the love of Susie Watkins of the same address, as was found by the Grand Jury who found Wright not guilty. At the time of the arrest the officers forcibly took a revolver belonging to Henry Morris from another part of the premises. They also took the gun of Wright. After the Grand Jury found Wright not guilty, a complaint was made to Lieut. Enright concerning the return of the two revolvers. Wright's revolver which had been held for evidence was returned by the police officers, but no record was found of the revolver belonging to Morris. Lieut. Enright immediately demanded an explanation as to why the revolver belonging to Morris had not been reported. At first there was a denial of the taking but when Enright insisted on the return (sesame) the revolver appeared. In an interview with Lieut. Enright he stated to Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks, who was representing Wright and Morris, that it has always been his policy to use every effort to protect the citizens in his district in their property and liberties as well as to prosecute those who are guilty.

So the Barnums of the prize ring are not waxing shy of the advise of the original who jammed more suckers under the canvas than any one factor on earth. The wonders (?) are still with us. After big Willard knocked "Bull" Young for a goal, from which he never returned, and rapped a few lesser lights on the chin, he was proclaimed the poorest champion that ever graced the American prize ring. He profited at the hands of Johnson's egotism, annexing the world's gonfalon which he released to Dempsey in a fight, the promotion of which brought out much scandal, resulting in lawsuits—some of which have just been settled. Charges and counter charges of a dark character prevailed and it said that one fellow claimed that big Jess was a co-partner in the promotion of the fight. If there was a strong string attached to the agreement in the Toledo haseo and this proposed second fight is only one of a pre-arranged series of three, then it looks like a case of the public be damned. Publicity agents have already started an argument purporting to show where Willard has a chance in this particular go, and we believe he has, too, provided there is a possibility of another match between the two. The inner works of the wrestling game is said to be shrouded in mystery, still we have a world's champion giving a colored man a chance. With the possible exception of Sullivan, all champions, in all classes were not adverse to meeting the dark AN AP Mr. Dave Wyatt, Chicago, Ill.

Thanks for your article on our friend Al Lawson, which I read with interest, but I am not going to use it, because I don't want to give Lawson that much publicity. Then, too, I did not say—or intend to say—anything reflecting on the negro ball players. What I thought I was saying was that Lawson's suggestion that they would play with the White Sox crooks would make them rare. I felt that way about it, anyhow. If the time comes for me to say anything about it again, I will take occasion to make that idea more clear and positive, for I think the colored brother has that due him as a matter of justice. However, I never heard anybody intimate a negro ball player would throw a ball game, no matter what the betting might be, and I can imagine what would happen to him if he did. They wouldn't need a grand jury or a Landis to fix him. Fraternally, CHARLES C. SPINK & SON Publishers The Sporting News Pollard Wins New Laurel Pollard Wins New Laurels Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 1,—Southern California, as personified by Conn's All Stars, still in the swaddling clothes of football professionalism, was not sufficiently strong to stand before the all-powerful sweep of the Akron champions at Vernon last week. For the second time within two weeks these Gargrautans of the gridiron crushed the Conn colothors this time emphasizing their superiority, by the heavier score of 21 to 7. Alongside these monarchs of the moleskin, college teams would appear as mere football tyros, or toys to be pushed about and broken. The Carlisle Indians, great in their own class, once stepped out of it and essayed to play Massillon, O. rival of Canton and Akron in the professional ranks. The redskins were crushed under the white juggernaut 31 to 0. This gives a line on professional ball, the real class of which can only be approximated by comparison. Neither team asked or expected quarter. It was rough football with a capital R. Conn came out with an eye that looked like an Easter egg. One of Rundquist's optics was a mate for it. Kibler needed a strip of adhesive tape to keep his nose in the middle of his face. Fred Pollard was led limping to the sidelines in the last quarter and the battered Nesser gave way to Raney about the same time, while Gard was taken from the game, standing, but groggy out" on his feet. Conditions were far from favorable, with the weather threatening and the ground wet and slippery from the rains of the night before. Constant Threat Realizing the constant threat of the shifty All-Star backfield men, Conn. Mallette, with the kicker Kramer and Kirkpatrick, should the line hold or the interference chop a way for them into an open field. Akron was taking no chances and opened with a rush. In less than two minutes after the start of play, Pollard had plowed a furrow through the mud with his handsome brunette countenance for a touchdown. Coppeley continued his consecutive goal kicking and added another point. With Pollard kicking off, the All-stars elected to receive, but made a mess of it, the ball being muffed and then recovered by an Akron man on Conn's twenty-yard line. Harris did five yards around right end, and a pass, Pollard to King, netted ten. There were cries from the stand to feed Pollard the ball. And Pollard --- By Dave Wyatt --- My Dear Mr. Wyatt: Constant Threat brother. Richmond and Molineaux (colored) were the first of the early American champions of the prize ring; both were defeated by white men. The last black champion was defeated by a white. What keeps Dempsey away when his best list of victims — Mechan, Miske, Fulton, Smith, Brennan—and prospective foe, Carpenter, Moran and Willard, have all given the dark man a play? Is it a part of the regular program when one annexes the crown to proclaim, "I will fight any man whom the public demands," then with Wills' hecklers chiming in on all sides and the press flaunting the dark man in the face of the champ, for the latter to go in the shell and close like a clam, Dempsey shuffles forth from his cover to meet the resurrected Willard and the piny Carpentier, while Wills, a man 'of his age, heft and prowess, must content himself with contests against third and fourth raters, who have nothing in the way of prestige to lose by suffering a defeat at the hands of the colored man. Wills has not found fighting a lucrative profession so far, being compelled to divide his time between honest hard labor and such fights as he can get. The former has served to better fit him for ring work, still with his experience, it is to be deplored that his prospects are not much brighter than they were in his earlier and most strenuous days. Because he is a black man he is placed in a most unfortunate position. He unquestionably is one of the world's leading fighters of the present time, yet his engagements are few and far between, and he never has received a really substantial purse. From our side of the bridge, we wonder, is Dempsey a miracle or a mystery? OLOGY St. Louis, January 21, 1921. friend Al Lawson, which I read with it, because I don't want to give Law-wo, I did not say—or intend to say—all players. What I thought I was in that they would play with the White I felt that way about it, anyhow. anything about it again, I will take clear and positive, for I think the matter of justice. My intimate a negro ball player would sit the betting might be, and I can in if he did. They wouldn't need a Fraternally, The Sporting News New Laurels was no less hungry for that ball. They slipped it to him and he slashed through the line for the first touchdown. First Downs Akron again kicked off, and it was the Conn's ball on their own 20-yard line. The Southern California team made first down against Akron and the crowd began opening the throttle of its enthusiasm, which grew into a roar when Kramer passed twenty-five yards to Conn, who was literally crushed into the mud when he caught the ball. The Conus were able to hold Akron in the second quarter only. In this quarter, Conn cradled his arms around a King punt, and dodged over thirty yards of slippery turf, planting the ball on Akron's 20-yard line. After two passes had failed, Conn essayed another drop-kick, this time from the 35-yard line, and missed, the wet ball never leaving the ground more than ten feet. After an exchange of punts early in the second half, the champions opened up with two passes, King to Pollard and King to Bierce, the two netting sixty-five yards. Pollard fumbled the ball and recovered it on the Conn 12-yard line. In the fourth quarter, a fumble gave Akron the ball on the Conus's 30-yard line. King passed to Pollard for five yards. Pollard carried it the remaining twenty-five yards on three bucks. Picking himself out of the mud, Pollard was given a hand different from anything I have ever heard at a football game—not a chant, or a studied rhyme—but a spontaneous cheer. A Handicap This great colored haliback was handicapped by the field yesterday, and even so he proved practically unstoppable. His greatest disadvantage was in recovering his footing after being thrown. On a dry field one of the easiest things he does after being thrown on his ear is to bounce back on his feet. His ability to find holes in the line seems instinctive. He feels out that line with the surety of a great cat feeling its way through a dark jungle, goes through the opening with the speed of a leopard's spring, once through he threshes like a wounded rhinoceros and when down, is as hard to hold as a boa constrictor. In the closing moments of play, Kibler, by intercepting one of King's passes, paved the way for the only Conn touchdown. Mallette passed forty-five yards to Tuffy, which was followed by a shorter one, ending in Conn's arms back of the line. --- First Downs MYERS WAS TOO CLEVER FOR GEERED Dark Dutchman Displays Great Strength but Polish Champion's Experience Prevailed The initial wrestling match of a series to be held monthly at eight regiment armory proved to be an eye-opener both from a standpoint of interest and attendance. The Monday night bill went off in smooth running order and the two or more thousand sport fans left the armory satisfied and clamoring for more of that sort of game. The custain raiser had Zoll and Martin, an excellent pair of grapplers and their scrap had the bugs by the ears all the route. In the semi-windup, Lee Umbels, a colored man, who is athletic director at Trinity Church, engaged Hugh Gannon in a welterweight go, and though much outweighed, Umbels put up such a plucky offense that his opponent was unable to weather the storm of the colored boy's menacing attack and gave up the struggle after twenty-five minutes of defense. The main bout brought out the World's Middleweight Champion, Johnmi Myers and Ed Egard of Holland, the colored middleweight champ of the money. Myers is every inch a champ and displayed no uneasiness over the much coveted prize, which is revealed, when the man is un familiarity with the American style of wrestling in vogue. Myers waved the right to use his famous toe and double wrist lock holds. Geerd proved a tartar for the champ to undue, displaying strength of muscle and ability to absorb gaff, also stamina that threw a big surprise not only into the large audience, but into Myers himself. Geerd put up a respectable showing on the defence, but seemed unable to figure out the traps that the champ set for him. Myers pilled everything, but failed to flatten his foe, the India-rubber-like Geerd being able to squirm to safety time and time again when it appeared that his strength and stamina was all but spent. Failing to flop and press the shoulders of the dark foreigner to the mat, Myers clamped a hammer lock and after a long and continued try for a break of the hold, which resulted in a failure, referee, Ed Smith, in accordance with the rules gave the first fall to Myers, but not until it looked that the colored man's arm would be broken. It required twenty-eight minutes. Geerd asked no quarter, and made a protest over the fall, claiming that he could continue unhurt. However, in the second round the hummer lock was barred, but Myers went to his work in a business-like way, being on top of his prey every minute of as long as it lasted, which was only seventeen minutes when the champ clamped a body seissors and the colored boy slowly but surely succumbed. After the bout, Myers, in a speech said that Geerd was a sure comer and with a few months of American training that there is not a man, to his knowledge who would be able to flop the colored boy. Myers frankly acknowledged that Geerd gave him a hard night's work. BASKETBALL The eighth regiment basketball team won its sixth straight game last Saturday, defeating the White Eagles by the score of 25-22. The eighth displayed some mighty good form in their passing and all-around team work. Earlier in the week they took the Chicago Commons into camp and are now leading the Intercity League of the 135-lb. class. February 12th, the eighth will engage a suburban team out at Whiting, Ind. This is a regular Intercity League game. HAMPTON DEFEATS SHAW 28 TO 16 By Charles H. Williams HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 2.—The Shaw University quintet went down to defeat for the second time this season before the onslaught of the Hampton Institute basketball tossers on Friday night, January 21. At the sound of the referee's whistle Raleigh's greatest game of the season was on. Hampton began the scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half, when Hardy made a long basket, giving Shaw an 11 to 10 lead. This spectacular performance brought the great crowd to its feet. At this time there was wild rejoicing. During the intermission the University band enlivened the occasion. The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton five opened with a dash that held the spectators breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting, with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to five points, while she rolled up eighteen points. It was evident soon after the opening of this half that the "Seasiders" had the better team and that the hopes of the Shaw followers would not be realized this season.

A. White Sox baseball team. He had a chance to down them, but the cards were against him. The score was a 5 to 5 tie at the end of the ninth inning. Another inning was ordered by the umpire, but neither side scored and the game was called on account of darkness. The contest was a slugging affair with both Keating and Pitcher Curry of the Giants fairing about equal. The same two nines will hook up again Sunday at Anderson Park, just across the bridge. Speed Martin will be on the mound for Rall's All-Stars and Rogan will officiate for the Sox.

The two Williams, Tom for the Chi crew and "Cyclone" Joe for the New Yorkers were on the mound, the latter having the edge on hits allowed and being on the right side of the ledger on the breaks. An infield play engineered by the Chi pitcher which was in a measure spoiled by the nervous interference of short stop Bobby Williams gave the Easterners an advantage that was never overcome by the crew from the West. Starks, Rube's new south pawn finished the fray but was unable to stave off the onward rush of the Royals to the winning goal.

Houck and Baugh had sort of a pitching duel, with honors about even, but the colored cracks bunched their hits to better advantage. The two teams will meet again at Carroll Park, "Slim" Love will be on the mound for the All-Stars, while Jesse Hubbard, regarded by many as the best colored pitcher in the country today and with few equals among the white heavens, will hurl en over for the Giants.

AMERICANS TAKE EASY GAME Marshall Finds Royals Easy Picking And Chi Bats do the Rest In the second game only two of the Royals were able to solve the delivery of Jack Marshall, the American's crack curve pitcher and the three measly bingos gleaned served to no avail in the scoring of runs. The Western gang caped and cut all sorts of pert tricks at the hands of the helpless Easterners and then rapped the crack pitcher Cockerell from the mound in the third frame. Grant pulled his usual circus stuff, much to the delight of the audience, while Lyons, the new outfielder fielded and negotiated the base path with reckless abandon. The Chi line fattened their batting average with eleven hits, every man securing from one to two blows, many for extra bases. The schedule calls for games each Tuesday and Friday and will continue about March 19th. # Royal Pointcina | | AB | R | H | PO | A | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Goodner, cf | 3 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | | R.

Many inquire for what reasons does the Ku Klux Klan raise its venomous head and seek to destroy the morale of law-abiding citizens and law itself. Indeed, after a silent period of fifty years, it seems strange that this organization should awaken with so much gusto and so "much ado about nothing." The Ku Klux Klan was originally instigated for the purpose of annoying black people. It developed into a lawless band which terrified the ex-slave and prevented their free exercise of the ballot. Now it claims that it is a "necessary institution" to perpetuate "white supremacy," to abolish Roman Catholicism, to discourage admixture of the races and to absolutely prevent the rape and defilement of women and children. The above reasons are melodramatically published. They are, however, weak and sporadic evasions. The Klu Klux Klan is aimed at the black man in America. White supremacy is protected by the Government itself and Caucasian civilization. Roman Catholicism we will dismiss without comment because of the obvious absurdity. "The admixture of races" is not a conscientious cause for the reorganization of the Klu Klux Klan because the majority of the members have shown a fondness for black women and the varigated color of mongrel America bears witness. The rape and defilement of white women and children by black men does not appear on record and no one complains ef this grievance in recent voice but the Ku Klux. The real reason for the Ku Klux Klan and its national scope—for this organization is spreading into the North—is primarily inspired by rare prejudice and unsatisfactory economics. The growing race consciousness of the black man, his apparent determination to stimulate and accelerate his growth and progress, his new-found courage to fight back and resent insult, the creation of group co-operation, have alarmed the southern white man. He, witnessing the great number of black people leaving the southern climes, has been filled with intensified rancor and hate. The white man no longer having free and easy exploitation of the black man's cheap labor and being forced to white wash and repair his own fence and till his own soid, is "sore and nettled." His rebellious blood boils and his mouth froths. "Bring on the Ku Klux," he cries. "Frighten them, terrify them, beat them, murder them. Bring them back at all hazards!" The Ku Klux is here again. The Ku Klux Klan is becoming national in its scope because of the spread of southern propaganda and the gullibility of the northerner. Then again, "the call of the blood" is stronger than the still small voice of justice. Remember the slogan, "Our country, right or wrong," and to a white man it is always a white man, be he right on wrong. For these reasons coupled with the labor friction the North is fertile for Ku Klux seeds. The labor friction existing at this time has offered a vulnerable spot in the capitalists for which the Ku Klux leaders have driven. It is claimed that the Ku Klux Klan offers to break the back of organized labor with mass action and to whip strikers into the meshes of employers by brute force. They also offer to throw such fear into black people as to thwart their efforts to organize and unionize their labor and leave them easy prey for further exploitation. The black people do not seem much perturbed, but this snake should be crushed as soon as it raises its head. If the powers of constituted authority refuse to protect law abiding citizens from vandals and Huns, in self-defense counter organization must be resorted to. No doubt, the latter method has already been seized upon. Look Before You Leap. people of America are making efforts to us life of the country. Their efforts to m oble and meritorious. Their shortsightes are the subject of regret and criticism. Entering blindly into overcrowded detention will crush them into bankrupt venture will be failure and utter wretched out with. It is necessary in accurate survey of the field which one know something about his undertaking judgement are more valuable than norse The Black people of America are making efforts to enter actively into the business life of the country. Their efforts to rise in the world are commendable and meritorious. Their shortsightedness and antidated methods are the subject of regret and criticism. Many are entering blindly into overcrowded pursuits where powerful competition will crush them into bankruptcy and the sad finale of their venture will be failure and utter wreck of the small capital that they started out with. It is necessary in entering business to make an accurate survey of the field which one considers. The individual must know something about his undertaking. Intelligence and business prudence are more valuable than nerve and undirected energy. The fields for business opportunity in America are wonderfully fertile but they must be tilled by trained agrarians. The Black people are seeking to elevate their status in this country. It is absolutely necessary that they seek skilled and experienced advice in all of their investments and undertakings. One cannot be a successful merchant simply because he so desires. He must learn how to buy and sell. He must learn what the people want and accommodate their requisites. It is hoped that there will be no more wild flights into the realms of frenzied finance but that those who propose to establish themselves must choose their fields with rare judgment and balanced discretion. Look before you leap. Legal Hints To Women By Violette N. Anderson, Attorney-at-Law Dear Madam: I am a married woman and have been separated from my husband for I am a marriage been separated fr ten years. I lived in Louisiana, and my husband is still married and obtain my divorce in Chicago? -A. A. 1939 Answer — Yes. very easily. Dear Madam: I am a girl nineteen years old. I went with a young man two years, and he always swore that he loved me and would marry me as soon as he was able. On the 23rd of August, 1920, he received a letter from a brother telling him to come home, that his mother was sick, ex- pected to die, and on the 24th of August, he married me, and left for home that same day. He never has slept with me since he married me, but he swore he would be back in a month and a half. Now he is in trouble and cannot tell me when he will be back here. He has been gone six months. He writes long, sweet, loving letters, but I am not enjoy- life because I am afraid to keep com- pany with other men. Please tell me if I am his wife, or what you think is best. Of course I promised to wait for him, but he is in trouble and cannot tell when he will be able to get back. I am sick from worrying so much. Am I his wife, and if I want to marry again will I have to have a divorce? He is not in the United States.—C. T. Answer—Of course you are his wife. You evidently do not love him very much or you wouldn't even think of some other man in so short a period. Doesn't the fact that he is in trouble appeal to you as a very good reason for being a real wife and sticking until the trouble is over? Can you not arrange to go to him? Of course you will have to have a divorce to remarry, but you would have to wait two years. You might have it annulled. Dear Miss Anderson: We got a divorce three months ago and now my husband and I want to get married again. Do we have to wait a year? I suppose you mean you want to remarry each other? If so, you can do it at any time right here in Chicago. Dear Miss Anderson: My mother received a pension after my father died—he was a soldier, and now she is dead. When she died she had received her three months check about two weeks. Can I get the money for that three months? No; there is a proportionate amount coming to you, for the time that she lived after receiving the last check. Dear Madame: My husband and I have not lived together for six months; when we married he was a waiter, going to school. Now he has finished his course and is out practicing his profession and says that he is not making enough to do anything for me. I have worked for four years to help him through. When I told him he would have to support me now or leave, he left. Is there anything I can do to force him to support me? Have you investigated to know that he is not making enough to support you as yet? Beginners in any professional line do not always make enough to do more than pay current expenses. Is it not possible that you are a little impatient and inconsiderate? If a wife has worked faithfully for four years to help a man through school, everything else being equal why shouldn't she be that same real helpmate through the initial stages of his actual working career? Of course I assume since you did not state otherwise, that as far as you know, he did not make enough money to support you. If he did and used it otherwise, the outlook is entirely different. Dear Miss Anderson: My husband had very little confidence in me before he died in money matters; he said I spent too much and gave his money as he got it to his sister to bank for him. She has done that for two years. He always told me she had it and she said so too. When he died she said she didn't have it; that he never gave her any money to bank for him and refuses to give me anything, except enough to pay to bury him. She says she just gave me that so her brother could be buried decently. I have a year old child—what can I do? I know that he gave her as high as $100 a week sometimes because he did that right in my presence twice. He said he left a will but I could never find it. I heard she had it. Much if not all depends on your being able to prove that he did give her the money. Employ an attorney immediately and have your husband's estate probated. My husband left me one day last summer and is now living with another woman, and passing her off as his wife, and claims I cannot do anything about it, as I married before the year was up, which is true, but we didn't live together as he was called away next day to war, and was gone a year before we did live together. If it wasn't legal would that justify him in living with another woman and passing her off as his wife, when she is married and not divorced from her husband either, and living like that before her children? Please answer, as I am very much concerned in the matter. Answer:—I am sorry to say you have no redress in the matter except to have your marriage to him anulled. I assume the divorce was granted in Illinois. The fact that you and he did not live together until the year was up makes no difference. You did marry before then. THE CHICAGO WHIP Health Hints By Dr. Troy Smith There is probably no other every-day ill that makes the one suffering there from more miserable and altogether unhappy than a persistent nagging headache. No one affected with a headache can do his or her best work, and those who often suffer with a chronic pain in the head are certainly placed at a disadvantage in the everyday struggle and competition with their fellows. Headache which comes on frequently and lasts, or a day or two at a time is a real hazard, therefore, to material success and unless the patient is able to obtain relief, the whole outlook on life will be clouded. One of the most dangerous features of chronic or recurrent headache is the frequency with which those afflicted resort to treating themselves, and use all manner of harmful drugs, in the effort to get relief. The taking of the various headache powders and aspirin that are on the market for headaches without knowing the cause of the headache is very injurious, producing changes in the blood and heart trouble. Many different causes of varying degrees of gravity may be responsible for a pain in the head. For this reason a physician should always be consulted, for he alone is competent to ascertain and remove the factors responsible for headache. In the great number of cases of pain in the head the physician finds that the patients suffer with constipation. There is more or less gastro-intestinal torpor with the absorption of poisons from the bowels. In these cases a brist catharsis, such as a saline or Seidlitz powder assists in the elimination of the bowel contents and relieves the headache; also get plenty of fresh air, do not close yourself up in stuffy, unventilated places. A old household remedy and one that is very good is local application of camphor-menthol and oil of wintergreen. This mixture is massaged or applied over the forehead and hot applications over this. In conclusion, if a mild physic and the above method does not remove the headache consult your physician and have a thorough examination, as often a great deal of nervous trouble begins with the only symptom being a headache. A SOUTHERN POINT OF VIEW A HUMILIATING CONTRAST Memphis Commercial Appeal. Jan. 22 Those who may feel an interest in the matter and it is "the deepest interest to all whether they feel it or not, could not do better than to request their representatives in Congress to send them the" Hearings Before the Committee on the Census," which recently reported the bill reapportioning the membership of that body. A more illuminating document could scarcely be found than this pamphlet of something more than 200 pages. The daily press reports at the time gave a glimpse of these hearings, but the ipsissima verba of those who were heard are far more impressive and significant of the state of mind of a not important element in the population of the United States, and more especially of the southern states. There all disguises were thrown aside and if there were any reservations at all they are doubtless comprehended in the significant statement of one deponent who affirmed, "We are standing on the crater of a volcano." The public is aware that the notorious Society for the Advancement of Colored People appeared before this congressional committee and through its officials urged the reduction of southern representation in Congress on the alleged ground of the practical disfranchisement of the negro in the south. These men freely admitted that the laws of the southern states are equitable, but charged that the administration of them is not. And it may surprise others, as it did us, to learn that this society has a membership of 100,000, principally in the south, and that it numbers among its northern membership such respectable names as that of Moorfield Storey, one of the most eminent of American lawyers. The representatives of this organization who appeared before the committee, were negroes of ability, who presented their case impressively and with-becoming dignity. But the manner in which they were bullied by southern congressmen, who were members of the committee, presents a humiliating contrast. The courtesy and ability with which the northern members conducted themselves, though they evidently sympathized with their southern associates, was highly commendable. From this exhibition it seems quite clear that the south must improve the quality of its representation, if it hopes to retain the respect of the nation. One cannot imagine Lamar or George or Isham G. Harris or Garland playing the role that these men did. The southerners showed up somewhat better when they came to deal with the famous Mr. Tinkham of Massachusetts, who displayed a surprising ignorance of the subject upon which his fame rests. That his weight is light is clearly shown by the fact that his suggestions were ignored by the committee, a majority of whom were of his own party, and by the House itself, which is also Republican. It would seem, moreover, that his threatened appeal to the supreme court will yield Mr. Tinkham small comfort, if the past decisions of that tribunal may serve as a guide to their future course. The negroes who appeared before the committee were evidently such as are sometimes called "light completed," for one of the northern members expressed great astonishment when one of them was referred to as a negro. And the record contains an amusing statement from the Legal Catechism Ques—Where a man dies leaving a widow and small children who are destitute and without any means of support, is the widow entitled to a mother's pension? If so, to whom should application be made? PETER JOHNSON Ans. — Application should be made to the Juvenile Court in the County Building. The granting of such will depend upon all of the facts in the considered the facts in the case which will be considered. Ques.—Are common law marriages recognized in this state at all? Ans.—If you mean by this question the unlawful co-habitation of persons of the opposite sex—No. Ques.—When suit is brought against a party can anything be done to him if he stays away and does not go to court? Ans.—If the proceeding is a civil proceeding, and I presume that is what you refer to, your failure to appear and defend the action will allow the party bringing the suit to obtain a judgment against you by default. If you are willing to have the party obtain such a judgment then you are not compelled to appear. Ques.—My lease expires May 1, 1921. My landlord verbally notified me that he would not renew it as he wanted the flat for some other parties. What notice is required in such cases? and is such a verbal notice sufficient? Ans.—No notice at all is necessary to have tenants vacate at the expiration of a lease. The landlord probably gave you this verbal notice as a matter of courtesy to you in enabling you to secure another flat. You will have to move when your lease expires if the landlord does not renew the same. Send questions for this column to Herman E. Moore, care of The Chicago Whip. U. N. I. A. News By T. Willard Valentine The U. N. I. A. meeting was held at the church on Robey Street between Taylor and Roosevelt Road. The attendance was fair. The following speakers were on the program; Mr. Hodge, secretary for the Liberian Construction Loan; Mrs Cannon, the newly elected lady president; Rev. Simons; Rev. Hubbard and Hon. Rudolph Smith, Chan, of Field Corps. Mr. Hodge made a very excellent talk showing many reasons why the negro should join and support the U. N. I. A. and the Liberian Construction Loan. Mrs. Cannon appealed to the high ideals of Negro womanhood and said notwithstanding the virtues of the Negro women were polluted by the Caucasians during slavery days, yet hundreds came out unscathed and today the descendants of that downtrodden parentage stands as a living example of chastity and purity. She also stated that time was a great wheel and the affairs of nations was a wheel in the wheel of time and while the Negro is at the bottom of the wheel today, yet tomorrow he will be turned on top. With Mrs. Cannon's ideality, imagination and insight into human nature and her gentle spirit and thought for others there is no reason why her term of office should not be one of great wisdom, love and respect. She truly edifies the office and we predict much success for her. Rev. Simons gave a historical outline of the great achievements of Negroes in the ancient and mediaeval times, citing instances where great leaders of the ancient Greek and Roman armies were native sons of Africa, Cyprian, St. Augustine and Pertullian, those fathers of the church were Africans. Terrence, who was called "as sweet a bard as ever strung the lyre to song" was an African. Quintillian says that Terrence was the most elegant and refined of all comedians whose writings appear on the Roman stage. Rev. Simons continued: Had His Excellency, Mr. Garvey, lived sixty years ago and given to the world what he is now giving, history would have had him an Englishman born in England, hiding the fact that Negroes are capable of great achievements. Hon. Rudolph Smith's spoke in behalf of the Liberian Construction Loan. He told how the Irish, the Jew, the Japanese, the Italians and every race rally to his own cause but the Negro, and how by rallying to support himself the Negro would become a people who would cause the world to sit up and take notice. Mr. Garvey will speak Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 2nd, at the 7th Regiment Armory, Wentworth Ave. and 34th St.; Wednesday night, Feb. 2nd, at Quinn's Chapel Church, 24th St. and Wabash Ave.; Thursday evening meeting at 3600 Vincennes Ave., also Friday night. Sunday, Feb. 6th meeting will be at Quinn's Chapel Church, 24th St. and Wabash Ave. famous negro, Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, whose testimony before another body was submitted. He had been testifying to the influence of prospective postmasterships upon southern white republicans, when he was asked: "Did you have any people working with you who desired to be postmasters?" And his reply was: "Well, there were some of my friends that would not suffer the crown to be offered to them too many times, senator, but if they would get it, it would be a virgin experience of theirs." THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL IT OUGHT TO BE "PUSSYFOOT" TAFT From The Philadelphia American We have heard much about Pussy-foot Johnson, the prohibition advocate, who lost one of his eyes in attempting to put over his propaganda in England; but we have heard less about William Howard Taft, a more insidious pussyfooter on the propaganda of repressing and denying the colored citizens his equal representation in the government than Johnson, who has not lost neither an eye for an eye, nor a tooth for a tooth, Mr Taft was President of the United States for four years and tried to succeed himself; but was the worst defeated candidate in his second campaign than any presidential candidate since the foundation of the government: Another thing in which Mr Taft stands out without a competitor; as a Republican President since the Civil War he made less appointments of colored citizens to federal office and those appointments that he made he subjected them to the most absurd conditions of any other President who has ever occupied the chair. In his inaugural address, he intimated that he would appoint no colored citizens to office in any community unless the majority of white citizens in that community recommended him. This was noticed that the Republican party in the South, which at that time was composed almost entirely of colored citizens, need not apply for any office in recognition of his services to the party, unless he got every Southern Cracker to indorse his petition; Mr Taft during his term as presidency held religiously to this proposition and made no appointments. Whenever a question arose or a complaint was made as to outrages, murder and oppressions of the most cruel kind, he always suggested a panacea, and that generally was, "Don't say anything; keep quiet."

G He shrewdly became a trustee of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes with the idea that he would dedicate a part of his service to the uplift of the students in these institutions. That appears merely to have been for the purpose of playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He has spent most of his time traveling through the South and to these various institutions, advising the young colored men and women to study farming, remain on the farms in the South; pay no attention to their civil and legal rights as citizens; submit to the present brutal conditions surrounding them there; accumulate property; get wealth for the purpose of enriching the Southern hoodlum, who whenever he desires may drive the colored "millionaire" from the South, compelling him to leave his property and money and everything except his life behind him, to be taken over by these Southern whites—too lazy to work. Mr. Taft believes that this is all right for the present. Some time ago he wrote an article concerning his visit to Augusta, Ga., and in this article flattered Augusta for having maintained the same old conditions of master and servant that existed before the war—in their seeming paternal protection to the free Negro of today, as they did the slave of 1850. Ex-President Taft had the opportunity to show his real worth as a friend to the Negro for four years as President, but his acts during these years proved otherwise. Now that the first Republican president is about to take office since Mr. Taft he is spreading this most insidious propaganda in order that President-elect Harding will follow in his footsteps.
