NO. 22 JIM WRECKERS OF HOMES YET TO BE CAUGHT Slight Attention Paid To South Side Phase of Kerr's Confession. Chicago vibrated with expectancy late last week when, with a loud explosion, it was announced that the secrets of the "Bomb Trust" had been exposed. One slight reference was made by Andrew Kerr (white), confessed master bomber, to the bombing of ex-Alderman Oscar De Priest's, Kerr said that he knew that the "Bomb Trust" was in on it; other than that he had no direct information to give. At the same time he was in possession of detailed information, including names, dates and prices paid for the bombing of numerous business houses. It was expected that the bombing of South Side homes, endangering the lives of women and children would command the immediate attention of the investigating authorities. However, nothing more than passing interest was given this phase of Kerr's confession. Nine men were arrested as a result of Kerr's remarkable confession, involving several labor leaders, sluggers, and professional gunmen, including Cornelius (Con) Shea, president of the theatrical janitors' union. Kerr's confession was corroborated by subsequent confessions on the part of Harry Bartlett, and James Sweeny, both white, also known as professional sluggers. As yet no direct relief from the bombing situation has come out of the exposure. REFUSE ARMORY FOR MEETING; CHARGE POLITICAL TRICK According to foes of the Thompson-Lundin machine, evidence of the desperation to which the organization has been driven can be seen in official orders from Springfield, which deny the use of the Eighth Regiment Armory for a meeting at which Senator Medill McCormick was to be the chief speaker. The use of the building had been agreed upon, but subsequent orders cancelled this agreement on the grounds that "the armory would be used for drills." This in spite of the fact that the Thompson-Lundin machine is to use the hall on June 5 for a meeting. DR. SHELL INDICTED ON DRUG CHARGE True bills were returned early this week by a federal grand jury against physicians on charges of violating the Harrison anti-narcotic law. One of those indicted was Dr. Roy A. Shell, 459 East 35th street. Dr. Shell is a prominent member of Trinity M. E. Church, 30th street and Brairie avenue. Dr. Joseph Trenchard, (white), 31st street and Indiana avenue, was also included in the indictment. A group of popular entrants in the WHIP'S Auto Contest. Mrs. R. Garrett The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY Blinded by Love, Husband Stabs Wrong Man That love is blind was proven beyond doubt by the strange actions last Thursday of Marshfield Byrnes, 467 East 31st street, when blinded by a consuming love for his wife, he lost his balance, and stabbed the first man he saw near her abode. It appears that Mrs. Byrnes had become overawed by the heat of her husband's affections, and left him, taking lodgings at 4029 Calumet avenue. Lloyd Terry, 3711 Rhodes avenue, happened to be passing near 4029 homeward bound from work, when suddenly he felt keen pains in his back. Casual investigation revealed the startling fact that he was at the sharp end of a dangerous dirk in the hands of the love mad husband. The light that now falls on Byrnes' weak eyes is mellowed by the shadows reflected from prison bars. BLACK FRENCHMEN TO BE PITIED NOT CENSURED BLACK FRENCHMEN TO BE PITIED NOT CENSURED NEW YORK CITY, May 28—"It is impossible to study...the Negro occupation, and believe that the presence of black troops constitutes a constant terror and a horror to the Germans...The crime...is, rather against the black troops themselves than against the Germans. They are virtually slaves...forced...to military service in a cause in which they have no interest and which they do not understand." Thus writes Lewis Gannett from Mainz, Germany, after careful first-hand study. His article appeared in The Nation for May 25. About the "Horror on the Rhine," German officials told Mr. Gannett "that this propaganda was a commercial enterprise conducted for profit." The article censures the conditions of the occupation, and describes in detail not only the conduct of the black troops on the Rhine but that of the white troops as well. SLAYS TORMENTER OF AGED MOTORMAN, ESCAPES An undidentified stockyards worker, put on the defensive when he attempted to protect an aged street car motorman against supposed ex-members of the street car union, shot and fatally killed George Jacobs, (white) aged 25, 4351 Princeton avenue, and made good his escape. The shooting occurred on a Wentworth avenue car near 47th street. When the white man and his companion advanced on the old motorman the stockyards man demonstrated with them and received a blow in the mouth. His death-dealing bullet and hasty escape followed. HENRY MARTIN DEAD FROM ACCIDENT IN GRAND BLVD The toll of the motor menace mounted one notch higher when an automobile owned by the city of Chicago ran down and killed Henry Martin, 3748 Indiana avenue, in Grand boulevard Saturday, near 37th street Martin was an elevator operator, and was 24 years old. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MAY 28th, 1921 A Bert Williams, shown in his uniform as an officer of the 15th New York Infantry, now playing at the Studebaker Theater. Critics declare that he is the only redeeming feature in an otherwise poor show. Yet members of his own race must submit to humiliation in order to see him perform. FIND BLACKJACK ON EXGOVERNOR NABBED FOR PEONAGE CHARGE ARKANSAS SENATOR IS IN FAVOR OF WHITES ONLY IN U. S. ARMY ALBANY, Ga., May 28—Following the indictment of ex-Governor Sidney J. Catts, of Florida, in Pen-sacola, for peonage, he was arrested here on a capita by the sheriff of this county. As he was being taken in custody by the sheriff, he reached in his inside pocket as if for a weapon. The sheriff seized his arm, and discovered that he was armed with a blackjack, or billy. The charge on which Catts was indicted, reported exclusively in northern papers by The Chicago Whip, May 14, was the forcible detention on his farm of Ed Brownand John Henry Rodgers, whom the ex-governor had pardoned during his tenure of office, and whom he was compelling to work on his farm to pay for the pardon.

Senator Carraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, stepped into the limelight by introducing a bill providing that only white Americans would be accepted for enlistment in the Army or Navy. It was taken very lightly, however. In the bill, the senator neglected to make any reservations relative to inducting black men into the service in times of emergency or of war. CLYDE MANNING TO PLEAD "NOT GUILTY" ATLANTA, Ga., May 28.—When Clyde Manning, hero of the "Murder Farm" deaths comes to trial Monday May 30, he is expected to plead not guilty to complicity in the murders of John Williams. He is expected to seek his liberty on the contention that he killed his fellow peons to escape death himself. PERIOD OF BIG VOTING ENDS ON SATURDAY Race Extremely Close, Intense Rivalry Among The Contestants. Next Saturday night, June 4th at 9 o'clock sharp, is the last chance for the "BIG VOTES." Promptly at 9 o'clock the doors of The Whip office will be closed. No one will be permitted to enter after that time for the purpose of turning in subscriptions on this present Big vote offer. Those inside at this time, however, will be waited on before the present BIG VOTES end. Only a Week More of the Big Votes In that short period, candidates in The Whip's mammoth prize-giving event have their last opportunity of landing votes on the "double quick" and "literally "cinching" the brand new $1,700.00 Dixie Flyer five-passenger touring car. Never before has a race of any kind been so extremely close or so hotly contested. This fact has undoubtedly served to arouse the wonderful interest that is being shown in the final dash for the "BIG VOTES." It is doubtful if there exists a single home in this community that is not vitally interested in the success of one of the favorites in the battle and watching every gain and every move with anxiety and eagerness, hoping and trusting that their choice will come under the wire first and be acclaimed the champion of champions—the proud winner of this beautiful $1,700.00 Dixie Flyer Attention Candidates Be careful in filling out your subscriptions, always writing or printing the name of the subscriber plainly so that there will be no mistake in entering the subscription. Candidate names so that proper vote credit will be given. Special attention of out-of-town candidates and those who may work out of town is called to the arrangement that has been made which subscriptions right up until the last minute of this BIG VOTE period, no matter where they may reside. All subscriptions placed in any postoffice anywhere before 9 o'clock Sat November 16, 2015, the present BIG VOTE offer even though they do not reach The Whip office until later. Most Important Thing This is the most important time of The Whip's race. You can get the winning votes by entering the race, but remember that it is better to win by several thousand votes too many than to miss winning by just a few hundred. Whoever is ahead at the end of this period will practically be sure of outlining the big Dixie Flyer—a $1,700.00 price. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of victory to the day. To some it will mean a glorious victory. But, to others who "lay down" now, it will mean a stinging detain. What are you going to do? You must decide at once and act accordingly. Get Big Subscriptions Keep in mind, too, that a few of the big subscriptions will make a vast difference in your vote score, especially if you get them now before you turn in your vote. For remember, each 5-year subscription counts you 300,000 votes and every 10-year subscription is worth 620,000 votes. You also get 100,000 EXTRA FREE votes, you turn in, you turn in. Between now and next Saturday night, every $25 in subscriptions you turn in will be worth from 300,000 to 700,000 votes. Figure it up for yourself and see how easy it is to get the most votes to your credit. And, if the increased activity and the keen rivalry of the contestants is any indication, there will be plenty "doing" before next Saturday. Office Open Evenings The Whip Office of 300 St. James street, will be open each evening until 9 o'clock to receive votes and issue supplies, such as additional receipt books, sample copies, etc. Remember, to get credit on the present BIG VOTE, you must be in the Whip office not later than 9 o'clock, Saturday night, June 4th. In case of out-of-town candidates, all that are mailed not later than 9 o'clock, June 4th, will count through, though they are not received at The Whip office until later. Auto Was Too Slow ATLANTA, Ga., May 28—Bennie Carter left his automobile in Ashby street near Bellwood here last week when he thought he could run faster than it. Officers were pursuing him with several cases of booze. Read, Think and Act EIGHT PAGES "Plays Hector" With Foe, Shoots Him in Heel Doubtless Will Brown, alias, "Red Willie," is not conversant with the old Grecian myth wherein Hector slew Achilles, his ancient and otherwise invulnerable foe, with a wound in the heel. However, after one or two unsuccessful attempts to find a tender spot about the anatomy of Smith Anderson, aged 22, 3138 Wabash avenue, he finally felled him with a shot in the heel. The fracas occurred May 18, at the corner of 31st and Dearborn streets. The quarrel was over a young woman whose identity remains und disclosed. Brown is now doing target practice in the County Jail. ALABAMA PAPER SHORT OF COPY INVENTS STORY ALABAMA PAPER SHORT OF COPY INVENTS STORY WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28. Careful check of a story appearing in The Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald, Thursday, May 19, results in the discovery that the story is absolutely without foundation, and was evidently fabricated in its entirety in the Birmingham office. The story, which purports to come from Washington, D. C., is as follows: NEGROES ARRIVING IN NORTH CAUSES CALL FOR RULES WASHINGTON, May 18—(Special.)—Cincinnati policemen, noting the arrival of innumerable negroes from southern states, and fearing trouble, have appealed through Representative Nicholas Longworth to the war department for rifles. The appeal carried with it a petition for bayonets, also, because of the belief that bayonets have a psychological effect in overawing the colored men. Representative Longworth conveyed the petition of the Cincinnati constabulary to the war department. It is understood that the war department, in making answer, took the position that the army rifle was too destructive, on account of its carrying power, for use within city limits, but advised the use of machine guns which it offered Cincinnati for $250 each. There is and has been no trouble in Cincinnati between the races. It is evident, however, that the constabulary is preparing a warm welcome for the southern negro when he spreads his wing for "the land of freedom, opportunity and equality." Representative Longworth is a son-in-law to the late Theodore Roosevelt. He is a tentative candidate for the Senate. There are 286,000 negro voters in Ohio. RACE RIOTS IN EGYPT; 5 EUROPEANS SLAIN ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, May 28. Five Europeans were killed and 72 others wounded when natives rising in indignation over the killing of a native by a Greek, swept through this city, attacking all Greeks and other Europeans. So tense became the situation that all European whites were forced to seek refuge in government buildings. RESISTS SEIZURE OF HOME FOR TAXES; FORCED TO FIGHT MOB RESISTS SEIZURE OF HOME FOR TAXES; FORCED TO FIGHT MOB BYROMVILLE, Ga., May 28. Chief of police Cunningham, of this town, received an unexpected setback when he, with an armed posse, went to take possession of the home of Pate Chapman, near here, for unpaid taxes. Chapman had gathered around him a small body of companions to resist dispossession. He was finally driven out by the guns of the mob, and his son shot dead. L. C. Davis, (white) a former soldier, passing through the city en route to Fort Valley, stopped to put his army markmanship to a test. In the firing he was shot dead. PRICE FIVE CENTS HOW ALLGOODSEATS IN HALF EMPTY HOUSE "SOLD" Famous Comedian's Own Race Segregated In One Corner Of Balcony. Charges of flagrant and unabashed discrimination and segregation are being made against the management of the Studebaker Theatre, now playing Bert Williams in "Broadway Brevities." This site of the fact that a direct bid is made through newspaper advertising for the patronage of the victims of this segregation. Special Section Set Aside From the clever way in which tickets are issued to theatre goers with black skins, it appears that a special section has been set aside in the first balcony for such patrons. At the performance Sunday night, which was but poorly attended, practically all of the famous comedian's own race were huddled together in one section of the first balcony. Attempt To Evade Law Evidently a feeble attempt was being made to evade the spirit of the law and remain within the letter, when it was seen that a few ticket holders of dark complexion were sprinkled elsewhere in the house. It was explained that a few "presentable" applicants were given seats in other parts of the house as a sort of an "alibi." Empty House "Sold Out" The determination of the management to circumvent free selection of seats was apparent. however, when a prominent physician was denied a preferred seat on the grounds that "none were left." To the contrary, however, if the patient were vacant, and remained so throughout the performance. Bert The "Life of the Party" Bert the Life of the Party The fact that Bert Williams, who is the life of the show, should tolerate such a situation, has aroused endless comment and criticism. It is also apparent that his own company, which he is starring. Without him the show would last one night, according to the critics. One prominent theatrical critic has said that the name of the production should be changed to "The Black Man's Burden," as Bert carries the weight of the entire show on his own shoulders. SIMMONS, KU KLUX "WIZARD" MADE AIR SERVICE HEAD It has been officially announced that Colonel Wm. J. Simmons, "Imperial Wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan, has been elected head of "The Knights of the Air Service," a fraternal organization composed of former United States army officers belonging to the Air Service. Second to him is Major Reed Landis, of this city, who has been chosen vice commander. Major Landis is reported as having said that this organization had no connection with the Ku Klux Klan, but that Colonel Simmons was chosen for "his excellent ability as an organizer." Major Landis is the son of Judge K. M. Landis of the Federal Court. Major Landis further said that no one had need to fear that the organization would be used as a medium of Ku Klux propaganda. The selection of a man of Simmons' stripe, however, is incomprehensible to those who expect best results from such an organization. SAY MEN WRECKED TRAIN IN REVENGE AUGUSTA, Ga., May 28.—Police are holding three men for the wrecking of an Atlantic Coast Line train near here last Thursday. They are William Watts, D. Boyd, and Moses Williams, once a bridgekeeper. It is charged that the men wrecked the train because Williams was "fired" from his job as bridgekeeper. A rail had been loosened, lifting it from the ties. One white man was killed in the wreck. IT is the name of Mayor Thompson or is it the job of Ed Wright of more importance to you than the lives of scores of innocent women and children and that have been lost at the hands of bomb kings? We have supported this man solidly for six years. He thinks he own you now. Therefore he does not have to do anything for you. Take no chances. You have listened for six years to black bunk artists who get thousands yearly to pull the wool over your eyes. Just think a minute, what have you gotten? What have the masses of negroes gotten? Well I'll answer it for you—Bombs! Bombs! Bunk! Bunk! and Unemployment. Times are too critical to carry all your political eggs in one basket now. Vote for these men who are known to give all men a square deal regardless of race, creed or color. Nominations on this ticket were offered every sitting judge. Fourteen of them accepted and were nominated. The twenty-one places on the ticket are divided as equally as possible between Republicans and Democrats. Under the election laws it is necessary that these candidates be nominated by a party. Because they refused to obey the dictates of the city hall machine the sitting judges were refused Republican nominations. For this reason their names appear on the ballot in the Democratic column. The ticket has been indorsed by the National Republicans as well as the Democrats and is in no sense a party one. The city hall machine controls the election boards. To make sure that your vote is counted put a cross in the square before the name of each candidate in the Democratic column, as shown. --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. A Senator from Arkansas has introduced a bill in Congress to bar black men from the Army and Navy. As long as they are Jim-Crowed in the Army and only allowed to serve as mess boys and coal passers we can see no reason why they would refuse to abide by such legislation. If, however, the wily Jap of Nippon should take a wallop at Uncle Sam we are afraid that the southern Senator would revet his action. Congress itself is too smooth and oily to pass such a bill. It appears peculiar to us that none of the so-called leaders in Chicago refused to complain of the technical segregation of their race at the Studebaker Theater. Bert Williams, the premier comedian of America, and a member of the black race, is the drawing card. Illinois is provided with a Civil Rights Bill and the Studebaker people won't get away with that palpable infraction of the law as long as some men of valor are alive. Needless to say they will be found among the younger groups. Colonel Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, has been appointed head of the air service in this country. It is said that this position was conferred upon him because of his genius in organizing. No doubt if Villa had been an American he would have been elected President under such a contorted system of reasoning. Remember some time ago the Editor of the Whip wrote an article telling his people to beware the "Ides of March" and not expect too much from the administration of President Harding. The admonition seems to ring strikingly true. No visible results are seen from the apprehension of certain of the home bombers in Chicago. They still continue to bomb, and unless search and apprehension is made in behalf of the black people of Chicago as well as the white, the black eye will remain upon the administration of Mayor Thompson. It is hard to appreciate and even tolerate those so-called lovers of their race who do not aid and assist in the annual drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Many of the same people bought Liberty Bonds, subscribed for the Belgian and Irish Relief Fund and yet they can't aid their own cause. 2 "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL O! NOSEY was wandering around the "Garden District" of the South Side in the neighborhood of Langley and 47th streets. Nosey knew that there was a "debutante party" coming off at the Garden District's "Select Inn" and thought he would see who came and went, as he was not invited. An electric drew up to the door TAKE NO CHANCES! of The Inn, and Nosey recognized two glowing young debutantes in company with an elderly lady. The elderly lady looked in and saw a bald-headed lawyer, a gray-haired physician and numerous other married men who should have been somewhere else, and the lady hastily hustled her two debutante charges back in the electric and put on full speed ahead without a word. Nosey gave another peek into the party, watching the shining bald pate of the whirling lawyer as he made fancy dance steps and opined quietly like the wise lady that the debutantes could do better at home. OFTEN one hears of that terrible thing called the "evil eye," but seldom encounters it except in southern climes. Nosey caught a glance from an "evil eye" the other night on Indiana avenue as he was standing near the curb waiting for a car. Nosey got interested in a man who was standing looking with fixed stare into a window of a millinery shop. Nosey knew that he could not be so deeply interested in women's hats that he would stand for half an hour looking at one hat. At the end of fifty minutes the lady within the shop drew near the window and looked the man in the eye with that wicked glance known as the "evil eye" and winked once. The man moved as shot, and entered the store, going into the rear. Nosey waited an hour for the man to come out, but noticed that three more had received the "evil eye" wink of the siren lady within and gone in ap- parently never to return. A friend told Nosey after a two hours' wait that he need not worry about the fate of the four men. They had passed out through the rear door on unsteady legs. Nosey sniffed the air and remarked, "Evil Eye Hootch," and took his place in front of the store to look at the hats. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. SOME MEOPLE do like aprons. Nosey followed five young ladies last Sunday afternoon from 31st and Prairie avenue up Michigan avenue until they landed on Grand boulevard and took seats on the grass. All five were dressed in cheap red aprons. They lighted their cigarettes "before it was dark" and accosted almost every automobile that passed, until one stopped, and they climbed in and went singing on their way. Many people thought that the cigarette-smoking ladies lived on the Boulevard, and Nosey takes this means of letting the public know differently. *** EVERY SIGN that is made with a window shade does not always have the same significance as intended. The young man who waits every night in the alley between State and Wabash for the rear window shade to go up twice before he ascends the back stairs, received a jolt which took him down those stairs in less time than he had ever made in an emergency. The shock which sent him earthbound even arranged for those wicked curves in the stairs, so that he only received his bruises when he landed in the garbage can of the flat below. It was all caused by the innocent act of a visiting cousin who tried to lift the shade and was forced to pull it twice. If Little "Archie" had not said what he did when he entered the rear door the hubby would never have wielded such a mean fist. Yet some people believe in signs. YOU SHOULD have seen the mix-up at the Studebaker Theater the other night at the Bert Williams show. Nosey saw the little newly-wed wife come in with her handsome roomer, who was taken in to help cut down the rent, and take seats down front. They had hardly gotten seated when the hubby came in with the charming lady roomer, who was also taken in their flat to help pay the rent. Hubby spied wife, got mad, then frightened because he thought wife might turn and see him. If ever a man "prayed for the lights to go out" that poor man did. He hustled out between the acts to try and change his seats for downstairs, but the management could not see it, so he waited until the curtain went up before coming back. He planned right, though, and met his lady roomer at State and Adams, and Nosey heard him say to the driver "Drive like the devil, no matter what it costs." All was quiet at the cosy little flat, so Nosey knows that he heat wife back home. What they said to each other between smiles and loving kisses would make them charter members of the Annanias Club. Simply another case where a triangle has become a circle.

The mills of the Gods grind slowly. But they grind exceedingly fine. At the election in our Village this quotation was most beautifully illustrated. For the first time we have seen it here. We have been crushed under its iron heel. We had no redress; we writhed and prayed in our helplessness. God in his infinite mercy heard and answered our prayers. We all know there is such a thing as man overstepping the bounds. We also know the giving and taking of life is in God's hands, is not meet that man is vulnerable and may be killed or a human life is cut short. When man in his puny finite wisdom and reasons for His omniscient acts, then as I have said he has overstepped the boundaries which has recently closed the fact that "Honesty is the best policy" was most forcibly brought home. Untrue, slanderous statements were made against the Equal Rights candidate. It attacking the equality which never retaliated. He went quietly on in his modest unassuming way. The venting of the People's Party spen acted as a warning. It rebounded to their own undo- If there is such a thing as those who have passed into the Great Beyond knowing what is transpiring upon this old earth, the pioneer of the Equal Rights Party was Mr. Robbins. He, last year in his weakened physical condition, walked and talked, blazing the trail of westerday's victory. The Chinese have a custom it behoves the people of Robbins to emulate. I have been told that when they meet a friend or colleague, they will their own instead of each others hand. I think we ought to do the same now. Shake our own hands congratulating ourselves over the fact that at last we have a man who is the chief of the team talking. It will not be in the future as in the past that on all public occasions when a speech is made that the orator will be *some one from Chicago or Harvey, Mr. Robb. L. Bryant* President of the Village Bishops' League beyond that he must be a silver torpedo orator. Another reason for rejoicing is the president has said he extends a most cordial invitation to the people of Robbins, friend and colleague, to attend the Village. There will be no more conducting the Village business in a corner. In other words we will be allowed to see the wheels go on and the people in the Village for the improvement of the Village or the interest of the people shall be gladly listened to. Any petition which shall be posted up shall be given all one consideration. Montgomery, Ala.

There is no color line in France and you don’t have to take my word for it ask Joe,” pointing te Joe Jeanette, JEANETTE MASTER MIND Joe Jeanette, veteran of the prize ritg must put his O.K. on everything coneerning the Carpentier training routine or else it will get the KO. Jeanette ordered the little estate on which the French boxer is living to be fenced off with barbed wire as it is ordered that the French champion will train in private. Huidreds of let ters were received by the Frenchman from. American Legion Posts thru ‘ont the country welcoming Carpentier to this country and wishing him luck in the coming bout for the litle. On speaking of this, Carpentier brought up the race question and spoke of what fightiug machinery the colored race produced during the world’s war, and also spoke of the black Frenchmen and how foolish it was for a champion to dodge betind the color question Teas generally believed in the sport circles way down ext that the Amer ican heavy weight title will change hands on July 2 What's the ise of discussing it Willard was « flake champion accord iseito a statement by Jack Johnson Chance has mate “Jack Dempsey, chance which had been Iuckless for Jess Willard The correspondent was asked whut Was the general sentiment among the colored Americans.

Dempsey is by no means taking the French heavy weight lightly and is curious to know something of Carpenticr’s fight- ing style, but owing to the advice of Jeannette, Carpentier does not even train before newspapermen, Carpen- tier goes thru his daily training stunts in strictly private. Norfolk, Harry Wills and other colored heavies. ab- solutely refused big sums to help train Dempsey and have all cast their lot with Carpentier. Harry Wills re: fused $5,000, while other colored heavies were offered lesser amounts.

When the present leaders of the black race—granting that there are some—leave this earth and enter into other worlds, will conditions in America be better for their sons and daughters, or will they be lynched, disfranchised, enslaved, insulted and murdered? If so they will be marked and cursed with the sins of their fathers. Not with prophetic vision but with conclusions reached from facts and acts we submit that if the black race of America is not supplanted with virile, intelligent, diplomatic and courageous leadership then the next generation will be retarded, subjected and despised and from their lips volleys and torrents of curses will fall, decrying and reviling their weak-kneed, avaricious fathers. In America several individuals have reached positions of political importance. They are scattered in various large cities where teeming thousands of their people abide, before reaching the pinnacles of prominence they were loud in denouncing the evils and injustices from which their people suffered, but once in office they forthwith adopted actions and words which would make them secure with their white bosses, and only in the rarest of instances have even parted their lips in the interests of their sons and daughters. They flew around with "foolish wings" in the "Paradise of Fools." In some States we have given birth to legislators who in turn have never conceived of constructive legislation and only gave birth to ideas of making quick, easy and dishonorable money. In other States we have produced Aldermen, Prosecuting Attorneys, Corporation Counsels, Revenue Officers who waxed fat off of the bloody toll from vice and graft. Once upon a time we had Registers of the U. S. Treasury, Recorders of Deeds as well as an Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and every blessed one closed his lips and immediately proceeded to fill his coffers with the funds within his grasp. The sons and daughters of these "leaders" will be unable to turn the pages of history and point to a single achievement that their fathers had wrought. If when one of the fortunate gain the limelight, should he remove all ideas of selfish gain and dedicate his services to the protection and advancement of his people, who knows but that his voice, like that of Theodore Roosevelt, would not be heard all around the world. When Cincinnatus was called from the plow to the dictatorship of Rome he fought and served in the interest of his people and kind. Several times he was called back from the plow to serve. Even the Noblemen respected him because he was a man with a conviction and the courage to carry it out. How many of our past "dignitaries" would we recall and reclaim? We faintly hear the name of Frederick Douglas and none other. We have produced stalwart educators and Ecclesiasticals, but only the so-called political champions of the black have had the opportunity to change conditions when the destiny of the black people hung perilously in the political balance. All others have eaten of the forbidden fruit of graft, opened Pandora's box, sold birthrights, bartered souls and grinned and bowed themselves into shame and ignominy. The retired and exiled "leaders" now imagine themselves secure, yet a bomb may be placed upon their doorsteps tonight, yet they would be lynched with small provocation, yet they are still "George" and "John" to the Caucasians, yet they are jim-crowed and yet, alas, what is to become of the next generation, their sons and daughters? The authorities, led by the Springfield, Mass., Republican, agree that in the last ten years there has been a steady declination of the black man's rights in America. Lynchings have multiplied, riots have increased, segregation lines have been more sharply drawn and without a leader in Babylonian confusion, the black man has endeavored to fight back. In the South they stampede like cattle when danger is imminent. On election day they vote enmasse one ticket—Republican—knowing not whether they are to gain or lose by so doing. Unless men, action, brain and might come soon upon the scene, the next generation is doomed. Puzzling extremely is the state of mind of fathers who do not hold the future of their children seriously. What American black man would gain a little wealth at the price of his children's liberty? The younger men of the day see the handwriting on the wall and the silence which comes before a storm tells us that they will sweep their pussy-footing, slavelike fathers away as the "chaff which the wind driveth away" in a splendid effort to save their brothers and sisters because a great impending danger looms over the next generation. Knights of the Air Knights of the Air or do the Ku Klux have to slip upon black ter of night, riding horses. Now they can cavant in air ships. Colonel William J. S. Toler", grand duke and imperial wizard of the fraternity of the United States proved by Major Reed Landis, the son of J. and all of the former officers of the air se- ward for the selection was the uncompar- nel to organize. As simply this, even though the Ku Klux is tic and despotic, they are not repulsive to the air officers afraid that they would be ment because of their selection. The char- ms had nothing to do with his fitness. H No longer do the Ku Klux have to slip upon black people under the cover of night, riding horses. Now they can come any time they want in air ships. Colonel William J. Simmons, the "exalted ruler", grand duke and imperial wizard, has been chosen head of the fraternity of the United States Air Service. He was approved by Major Reed Landis, the son of Judge Kene-saw Landis and all of the former officers of the air service. The reason offered for the selection was the uncomparable ability of the Colonel to organize. It means simply this, even though the Ku Klux is un-American, un-democratic and despotic, they are not repulsive to the air officers and neither were the air officers afraid that they would be rebuked by public sentiment because of their selection. The character of Colonel Simmons had nothing to do with his fitness. He is a good organizer, even though those whom he organized are slave drivers, barbarians and murderers. If the air service is looking for organizers and were not particular who they selected they might well have selected some master crook or labor slugger. The black people are forced to realize that after all it is an individual problem. Legal Hints To Women Violette N. Anderson, Attorney at Law. Dear Madame: Prior to eight months ago I lived with my wife's parents in a distant city; after two years of heavy quar- rels with her people I told my wife that I thought it best for all concerned that we move. She refused say- ing that our two small children would prevent her from assuming the responsibili- ties of a house. Matters grew worse and I final- 1950 I told her that if she did not agree to move I would leave the city and she told me to go. I left and since they have sent presents and money but my wife refuses to answer my letters or acknowledge the money. Can I obtain a divorce on those grounds? If a divorce is granted will I be given one of the children? You have failed in the all important thing—had you furnished another home for her, and she then refused to go and you left, you would have ground for a divorce, providing you furnished an adequate home for her and the children. Simply asking her to move and having no other place prepared for her does not provide her with such accommodation as is required. In two years you will be guilty of desertion and she can divorce you on that ground. You must no only offer but convince her that you offer in good faith to make another home for her and then if she refuses after two years, she is guilty of desertion. If the children are not within the jurisdiction of these courts—that is in Illinois, you could not secure their custody. My husband has been paying me alimony for about three years, ever since I got a divorce from him and now he has married again and refused to give me any more. The lawyer I had is dead and he has all my papers. How can I force my husband to keep up his payments? Get another lawyer. The papers in the possession of your former lawyer are not necessary in the securing of alimony. The court records are sufficient for that purpose. Health Hints By Dr. Troy Smith Dr. Troy Smith: Will you write in your column in The Whip, just what Diabetes is, and the cause? Also Brights Disease and Dropsy. 1. There are two kinds of diabetes, the diabetis Millitis, which is due to a disturbance of the sugar metabolism from various causes, in which sugar appears in the urine, the more severe form is associated with thirst, poluria (meaning the passing of 1. There are two kinds of diabetis, the diabetis Millitis, which is due to a disturbance in the sugar metabolism from various causes, in which sugar appears in the urine, the more severe form is associated with thirst, poluria (meaning the passing of large amounts of urine) waste and imperfect oxidation of fats. 2. The second type of diabetis is diabetis insipidus. This is a chronic affection characterized by the passage of large quantities of normal urine of low specific gravity. This type of diabetis sugar does not appear in the urine. The cause of this type is often associated with diseases of the brain and nervous system. This type may also follow an acute infectious disease or a drinking. The causes of the first type of diabetes millitis are numerous, among them are as follows: 1. Eating of too much sugars, either candy, sweets in any form and starchy foods. 2. Disturbances in the nervous system. 3. Disturbance of glands of internal secretions, mainly the pancreatic gland, the hypophysis adrenal and thyrial glands. 4. Disturbances in the liver—wherein the liver becomes hardened and enlarged. 5. Disturbances in the kidney function. 6. Various other causes such as a mental shock, a severe nervous strain and worry precede many cases of diabetes. Often patients suffocated by smoke or poisoned by coal gas may have sugar in the urine. 2. For your inquiry in Dropsy and Brights Disease I refer you to my article in The Whip of April 23rd, 1921. The other questions will be answered in the next issue.
