III. — NO. 40 BESSII DRINKS POISON WHEN SISTER CHIDES HER Never Regains Consciousness After Drinking Fatal Poison; Was Disappointed In Love With her heart broken by an unrequited love, and driven to desperation by the rigid home discipline imposed by her sister, Bessie Conn drank carbolic acid at her home, 3452 Dearborn St., Monday afternoon, dying at the Provident Hospital a few hours later. Despondent over Love Affair According to friends who knew her best, Bessie Conn grew despondent when all her efforts to see the man she loved were thwarted. This man is reputed to be Sim La Rue, well known character in the sporting world, living in the Lakeview Apartments, 31st St. and Ellis Ave. La Rue was formerly employed at the Dreamland Cafe, 3520-State St., and even now is to be found there frequently. Sought La Rue Sunday Night According to one of the girl's chums who was with her Sunday night, Bessie Conn visited the Dreamland Sunday night looking for, La Rue. This is said to have been the only place where she had an opportunity to see him. It is said that Mrs. Carrie Poyner, Bessie Conn's elder sister, who operates a restaurant on West 30th St, had on several occasions forbidden the girl's visiting cabarets. When she returned home Sunday night, she is said to have told Mrs. Poyner that she had not been to the Dreamland Cafe. The truth, however, finally leaked out, and a stormy scene followed. It is thought that her disappointment in love in addition to the quarrel with her sister led to her suicide. She was just recovering from a recent illness at the time of her death. EXTRADITION DENIED BECAUSE JURY WAS ALL WHITE KINSTON, N. C., Oct. 1.—There was no colored man on the grand jury which indicted Willie Whitfield, for an alleged assault upon the postmaster at a small Onslow County town. This, according to James A. Peters, solicitor of the local judicial district, is one ground on which the New York authorities have held up extradition of Whitfield, who, according to the Onslow authorities, "knocked out" the postmaster in a murderous attack with a cadgel or other heavy instrument and then robbed him. It is assumed government funds were not taken, the Federal authorities having failed to interest themselves so far as known. The alleged attack occurred several months ago. Whitfield escaped to New York. Lawyers retained for him raised the point that he might not be able to secure a fair trial at Jacksonville, N. C., because of his race. Now, Powers asserted today. the point has been advanced that Whitfield was indicted by a jury entirely of whites which was unfair to him. BAR JACK JOHNSON FROM THEATRE IN EAST FALL RIVER. Mass., Oct. 1.—The determined effort to keep Jack Johnson from the ring has followed him to the stage, as was shown by police action here Saturday night. The ex-champion was forced by police authorities to abandon his final performance of the week with a theatrical company. Commissioner John T. Swift said the board acted because of protests which had characterized Johnson as an "undesirable person." J Bessie Conn preferred death to a life of misery and disappointment. She drank carbolic acid and drowned her sorrow in death. She is shown here with her pets. Messenger Admits Part in $14,000 Bank Theft Oct. 1.—John Hellens, messenger of the North St. Louis Saving Trust Company today contended to the police complicity in the robbery on Sept. 14 of $14,000 of the bank's money which was taken from him by an armed white man while he was on his way to deposit it in the First National Bank. Hellens implicated three white men for whom the police are searching. According to the story told by Hellens, he met the three men by appointment in the back room of a barber shop. They told him they were planning a job at the North St. Louis Trust Company and offered to let him get something out of it. Hellens at first refused to join in the plot, but when they told him he would be held up anyway, he consented to help stage the holdup. It was agreed that Hellens should raise the awning in front of the bank whenever he was about to start for the First National Bank with a large deposit. On September 14 Hellens gave the signal and boarded a street car with a valise containing the $14,000. After he had ridden for several blocks the holdup was staged. Hellens later received $400 as his share. The police began to suspect Hellens when he bought a second-hand automobile, left his wife and began to lavishly entertain other women. After a severe grilling he finally confessed to Chief of Detectives Hoogland- CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1921 Grant Elaine Men Third Respite From Death LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct, I—All agencies which have been bitterly batting to save the lives of the six men condemned to die for the so-called Elaine Riots have been encouraged by a third lease on life given the condemned men by United States District Judge Trieber, who last week granted a writ of habeas corpus, and enjoined the state from executing sentence. The men were to be executed Friday, but execution was stayed pending hearing of the case Monday. The attorneys are basing their petition on the plea that the original court which tried the case and returned verdict in Phillips county was swaved by mob spirit. Third Stay in Case This is the third time that the carrying out of the death sentence against these six men has been staged within a short time of the day set for execution. Frank Hicks, Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, E. J. Knox, Paul Hall and Ed Coleman, were the first to be tried and convicted of the murder of Clinton Lee, white, following the riots of October 1, 1919. The date of their execution, set by Governor McRae, for Friday morning, lacked one week of being two years after the outbreak in connection with which they were convicted of charge of first degree murder and sentenced to death. During those two years, their cases in various forms have been passed on FIND KU KLUX KLANSMAN ON SOUTH SIDE Says He Believes In Mob Law; Thinks Ku Klux Will Give Swifter Justice Than Courts The Ku Klux Klan has appeared on the South Side! In the dino recesses of a dingy second hand furniture store at 62 E. 31st St., may probably be found the dince caps and nightgowns of the Invisible Empire. The store is operated by G. W. Nawman (white), who admits that he is a proud member of the Ku Klux Klan. At the same time he expects to sell his second hand beds and his cracked pans and kettles to the people whom the Klan was organized to terrorize. Nawman operates his dingy place of business in a local where the residents are almost entirely colored people. He evidently expects to make his living from them. Judging from the looks of this store, however, he has not succeeded very well. In his boldness Nawman went so far as to defend the aims of the Ku Klux in a conversation with H. J. Collins a salesman living at 50 W. 31st St. He told Mr. Collins that he believed the law was too slow, and that in such cases, the Ku Klux Klan should step in and take the law into its own hands. He said he would certainly do so himself if his wife were attacked. He also took a slap at Judge David when he told Collins that it would be much better for the Knu Klux to punish a burglar or holdup man than to expect him to be punished in Judge David's court. "He would certainly be turned loose there," said Nawman, CHICAGO GIRL BECOMES AVIATRIX Our first aviatrix in the world returned to the United States on the steamship Manchuria Sunday from Europe. She is Miss Bessie Coleman, a 24-year-old Chicago girl, who left for France ten months ago to attend an aviation school. Miss Coleman, whose home is at 4533 Indiana Ave., plans to do exhibition flying in this country. THOUSANDS ATTEND DE ARMOND'S FUNERAL The funeral of Atty. Chester De Armond was held at New Trinity Church, 30th and Prarie Avenue, Monday, Sept. 26th, and was very largely attended by citizens of Chicago who came to pay their last respects to one of Chicago's most prominent members of the bar. Rev. G. W. Baber preached an eloquent sermon, giving fitting tribute to the life of a man full of public spirit, meeting every requirement of a full active citizen as well as attorney. He is survived by his tfo daughter. Friends paid full tribute to the memory of one of Chicago's most useful citizens. 2,000 Attend Stephen Long's Funeral POCOMOKE, Md., Oct. 1, Two thousand and persons attended the funeral of Prof. Stephen Long, who was killed near here by John Pilchard, a white farmer. Prof. Long was supervisor of schools in Worcester County. He was a graduate of Lincoln University and a prominent Odd Fellow. by the Arkansas Supreme Court and each time the decision of the Phillip's County Circuit Court in which they were, convicted, was affirmed. The date for their execution has been set three times before. STRIPPED TO SKIN, ROPED AND BEATEN West Side Doctor Rivals Atrocities Of Ku Klux; Gouges Woman's Throat With Scissors An outrage rivalling the atrocities of the Klu Klux Klan was perpetrated Friday afternoon when Mrs. Mamie McCray, 3120 La Salle St., was stripped nude, and after being divested of her clothing, was tied in a chair, beaten about the head and body, and scissors thrust down her throat. Mrs. McCray applied to the Douglas Employment Agency for work, and early Friday morning was sent to the home of Dr. George U. Lipshulch, white, 4201 West Roosevelt Road. Charged with Theft Early in the afternoon Dr. Lipshulh's wife missed several articles of jewelry. She charged Mrs. McCray with stealing it. When the woman maintained her innocence, Mrs. Lipshulh is said to have called her husband and her two sons who in turn attempted to wrest a confession from Woman Disrobed Failing to gain a confession through threats, Mrs. McCray says the doctor and his two sons then called in several young white men from the neighborhood, who forced her to undress. Entirely nude, they placed her in a chair and tied her securely to it, passing ropes around her neck and body. They then amused themselves by beating and slapping her in the face and about various parts of her body. She still refused to make a false confession, she says. Finally her tormentors thrust a pair of scissors down her throat, inflicting several painful wounds in her mouth and about her face. Taken to Police Station As she still refused to make a confession, she was taken to the Crawford Ave. police station, where she was released for lack of evidence. No action as yet has been taken against Dr. Lipshulch. JURY DISAGREES IN CAROLINE SPARROW WILKINS CASE New York City, Oct. 1.—Mrs. Caroline Sparrow Wilkins, former Chicago society girl, wife of Barron Wilkins, has been released from police custody on account of disagreement of the coroner's jury investigating the death of a white man who was run down and killed by an automobile Mrs. Wilkins was driving in Plainville, N. J., August 20. At the coroner's inquest, held in Pleasantville, the jury, after deliberating for an hour, disagreed. Five of the jurors were in favor of exonerating Mrs. Wilkins. The Sixth juror told Coroner Cunningham that he could not agree even if he stayed out 24 hours on account of his acquaintance with the dead man's family. "You are discharged with thanks and the court will leave it to the discretion of the district attorney whether or not another inquest is to be held," said Coroner Cunningham in dismissing the jury after they had failed to agree. The jury censored law protection at the corner where the accident occurred. DIES AT AGE OF 114 ST. LOUIS. Oct. 1—Mrs. Jane Burgess, 114 years of age, died last week at Alton, Ill. She was a slave on a plantation in Virginia until she was freed, removing to Alton, where she had lived for nearly half a century. Two daughters, both octogenarians, Mrs. Martha Jackson, 82, and Mrs. Betty Hall, 89, survive. Read, Think and Act EIGHT PAGES XX Traps Man In Room With Wife, Then Calls Police Although armed with a .38 calibre revolver, Arthur Hampton, 3824 Rhodes Ave., preferred calling the Rhodes Ave., pr police to taking the life of his wife, Mrs. Matte Hampton in a room early sunday morning with Herbert Chandler, 3846 Elmwood Ave. M. S. S. Hampton had suspected h his wife of improper relations with Chandler for several months. Saturday night he engaged a friend in movements in the flat on Elmwood Ave. where Chandler roomed. flat on Elmwood Mrs. Mattie Ave. where Hampton Chandler roomed. He himself watched Chandler's room from across the street. After a game of cards which lasted until near midnight, Hampton saw the light flash on in Chandler's room. The shade was not lowered, and from his position across the street, Hampton could see his wife. Shortly afterward the light was extinguished. Hampton then called Policeman Foley who raided the flat and put the two under arrest. They were booked on statutory charges. At the trial, Monday morning, the case was continued to Oct. 6. On a former occasion Mrs. Hampton had caused her husband to be arraigned in the Court of Domestic relations when he violently resented her association with Chandler. Chandler is a stocksvards worker. THREE DIE AS MAN THROWS LIGHTED LAMP WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—Three persons are dead as the result of fire which broke out when Percy Brown, 2323 Conner's Court, threw a lighted lamp at Miss Hester Jones, 2147 L St. employed at Georgetown University Hospital. It is believed that Brown was quarrelling with Miss Jones and Mrs. Marie Hughes; becoming infuriated, he threw the lamp, which exploded, covering all three with oil, and setting the room on fire. All three are dead. Kills Man Without Warning BALTMORE, Oct. 1 — Albert Skinner, 381 9.13 Madison Ave., was shot and killed here last week by Ellicot Levy, 1605 Young St. Skinner, who was said to be a stranger to Levy, was standing at the corner of Bond and Monument Sts, where Levy walked up and asked a question. Receiving no answer, he backed off and fired the fatal shots. PRICE FIVE CENTS ICIDE State Sts. ASSAULTS MAN WITHOUT GIVING HIM WARNING Evidently Believes That Rough-neck Tactics Can Muzzle Press; Was Soundly Thrashed Charles S. Jackson, Vice-President of the Binga State Bank, prominent man about town and undertaking agent, took it upon himself to chastise one of the members of the staff of the Chicago Whip Tuesday afternoon. Jackson is now nursing a lump on his jaw, a knot on his head, and several bruises about other parts of his anatomy. Jackson assaulted the Whip man at the corner of 35th and State Sts, Tuesday afternoon. The Whip man noticed Jackson approaching, and being acquainted with him, spoke. Jackson ignored the salutation, rushed up, and without a word of warning, launched a blow. His aim was poor, however, and before the alleged vice-lord could gather himself, he was sent sprawling upon the pavement. He rose for another blow and was met with another fusillade. A second time he took the count. As he was about to kiss Mother Earth the third time, onlookers separated the fighters. He then is said to have repaired to a poker game in a nearby office building to dress his wounds. Jackson is credited with saying that "it is not yet over". It is to be hoped that he will let the matter drop and that it will be unnecessary to inflict more painful punishment on him. Jackson was embarassed when the Chicago Daily News exposed his connection with the gambling syndicate on the South Side. This paper serves notice on Jackson and all others of his like that such tactics will be of no avail in an effort to muzzle an exposure of infamy. ARREST FIRST WHITE MAN FOR TRAIN CREW MURDERS MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 1.—The first arrest charging first degree murder of railroad employees working out of Memphis was announced Thursday morning by Detective Inspector Griffin. John Phillips, white, 33. 258 Lucy Street, former Illinois Central fireman, is charged formally with the death of Henry Hager, brakeman on the Illinois Central at Raines, Tenn., May 6. Inspector Griffin said police are prepared to show that Phillips was at Raines the day of the killing, and that Phillips hired a taxi to carry him from Memphis to the suburban station. Griffin asserts that he has receipts showing that Phillips on two occasions hired cars to carry him to points where "the crimes were committed." He refused, however, to give the names of the taxi firms, but asserted that they are not the same. When the witness will be introduced at the hearing, the inspector said, who will testify that they saw Phillips at Raines. SOME THIEF, STOLE WHOLE PIANO BALTIMORE, Oct. 1—Miss Eleanor Camphor, 604 W. Lafayette Ave.. is considered the Babe Ruth among thieves here. She is being held by the police after being charged with the theft of a player piano and 200 rolls of music. She is said to have hired a truck and carted the instrument away from a place where she was employed as janitress. KU KLUX, UNDER FIRE, ON VERGE OF BREAKDOWN ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 1—Facing the breaking up of the organization which has brought the Ku Klux from local to national prominence, Colonel William J. Simmons, "imperial wizard" of the "invisible empire," today is making a strong fight to keep his offs in "line." The "imperial wizard" hurried back to this city immediately upon receipt of the information that factional controversies menaced the klan, thereby hoisting, it was said, here, to postpone its disintegration of the order. Klan at Critical Period That the Ku Klux Klan is at the most critical period of its history since it first began to spread over the nation was admitted by minor officials, although some of them attempted to wear an air of cheerfulness.

He had expected to go also to Louisville, Ky., where city officials prevented a speech ten days ago by Dr. Caleb A. Sidley, imperial chapain and field lecturer of the Klan. Upon obtaining news of Clarke's defection he apparently hastened back to Atlanta. He was not expected here until tonight. Up to the time of his arrival Mrs. Tyler insisted there had been no change in his plans. Simmons' and Clarke who were in conference made no statement when he happened. Clarke disappeared immediately after making public his ultimatum and was reported to have left town. Clarke Shocks Klan Clarke's action in demanding that his resignation be accepted was a shock and a surprise to every other imperial official. Even Mrs. Tyler, his close associate, said she had no intimation of what was coming until a copy of his letter was sent to her at the same time it was delivered to the newspaper offices. The Searchlight, semi-official publication of the Ku Klux, changed from a weekly to a daily publication yesterday morning, as announced, but the Klan, a party by Col.

"The keynote of the meeting was the need of world union, of diffused knowledge of the facts which affect people of African descent throughout the world, and determination to accept no inferior position, whether civil, educational or political, by whomsoever imposed. This was clearly and nobly expressed by Dr. W. E. B. Dubois in a manifesto which was unanimously adopted by the Congress at the closing session of the London meetings. "The meetings were held a stone's throw from Westminster Abbey and a few blocks from the Parliament—truly in the heart of the British Empire. It was a gathering of men and women of distinction from all parts of Africa, from the British West Indies (Grenada and Jamaica) and from divers parts of the United States. "Mr. Archer, a former mayor of Battersea, a native of London of African descent, presided at one of the sessions at which, as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, I made some brief remarks. "Most terrible was the lot of Negroes in South Africa, as it was exposed by one of the speakers, who said there was starvation among them because they had to work nine months in the year for the white men who had taken their land, three months to pay the British government's taxes, and had therefore no time to get enough for themselves to eat. "A pleasant part of the Pan-African Congress was the tea given to the delegates by Mrs. Unwin, wife of the head of the great publishing house of T Fisher Unwin and Company. From windows which look out over the river Thames we saw the Tower of London and the famous London bridges. Nearby was the immense building of the National Liberal Club, of which our host Mr. Unwin, is one of the moving spirits." CONSUMERS IN "GET- TOGETHER" BANQUET CONSUMERS IN "GET- TOGETHER" BANQUET The Consumers Company, the city's largest coal and ice dealers, operating over 50 branches throughout the city gave a "get-together" dinner at The Sunset Cafe, Wednesday evening, bringing together all of the southside dealers in coal and ice and colored employees of the Southside Branch, which is located at 4416 Federal St. Aside from a splendid feed was the fact that many of the officials of the company came to show appreciation of the general co-operation of dealers and buyers. It is to be remembered that this company employs Mr. Le Roy Waples as branch manager; R. W. Abernathy, assistant manager of sales; Leslie Abernathy, clerk; and A. Ferguson, salesman, and is therefore one of the very large concerns in the city which has given the black people this kind of recognition for their patronage. The meeting served the purpose for which it was intended, bringing the company close with its employees, buyers and customers and serves as a splendid example of what these concerns can do if they will. THE CHICAGO WHIP Commercialized Hatred Hit In N.A.A.C.P.Wire Commercialized Hatred Hit In N.A.A.C.P.Wire NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, today made public a telegram sent to President Harding asking for federal investigation followed if necessary by congressional actions on the "commercialized race hatred" represented by the Ku Klux Klan. The text of the telegram is as follows: President Warren G. Harding White House Washington, D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of 12,000,000 colored Americans desires to add its voice to those already asking your endorsement of a thorough federal investigation followed if necessary by congressional action on the menace of commercialized race hatred as represented by the Ku Klux Klan. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People bases this request upon its own information about the Ku Klux Klan which has been placed in the hands of public officials and on the complete expose of the organization now being made in the New York World. The Association was one of the first to volunteer its information about the Ku Klux Klan to the Department of Justice and again takes this occasion to assure you of its desire to assist the government in every way possible. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. EVENING CLASSES AT HOWARD OF COLLEGE GRADE WASHINGTON, D.C. Oct. 1—Howard University, in keeping with its new program of rendering the greatest possible service as a National University for the training of colored youth, last year at the beginning of the winter quarter, January 4, 1921, inaugurated a system of evening classes with Professor William J. Baudit as director. These evening classes are of full college grade and yield the usual credits toward the various academic degrees conferred by the university. They are being taught by the regular university instructors and exact the same requirements and maintain the same standards as the day classes. To the ambitions, self-supporting student who is unable to attend classes during the day, the Howard University now offers the exceptional opportunity of securing a college education through evening instruction. The work of the evening classes at Howard University has thus far been quite satisfactory and successful. Course have been taken by school teachers, school principals, government employees, lawyers, college graduates, and others. Some of these students are pursuing the regular four-year course leading to the baccalaureate degree; others are merely becoming acquainted with some particular subject or keeping in touch with the academic life for purposes of general culture; while still others are obtaining a special preparation which they must have in order to quality for some specific position. The work has been regular and thorough, the standards high, and the students and instructors enthusiastic. Evening classes at Howard undoubtedly mark a clear and distinct extension of the usefulness and influence of the University. It is very likely that this movement will soon be followed and supplemented by another with similar potentialities for good, for the establishment of a summer school at Howard University, for collegiate instruction now seems practically assured for next year. "Now My Skin Is Like Velvet" WILL PRESENT NATIVE AFRICAN DANCES HERE At Unity Hall, 3140 Indiana Ave. Chicagoans will be given an opportunity, next Monday night, to witness native African dances presented by Miss Kathleen Easmon of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Coast of Africa. The entertainment will be given under the auspices of the Amateur Lady Minstrels group, with Mrs. George C. Hall as chairman of the committee on arrangements. Miss Easmon is a native African. Her dancing is declared to be most beautiful in its rythmic yet refined abandon as well as an intimate reflection of the exhuberant art, spirit of the people of a dark continent. Less intricate than the famed Russian dances, as interpreted by Pavlowa and her famous band of assistants, their very simplicity is distinguished by a delicacy of spirit which lifts them into the realms of the purest art. Miss Easmon is not a professional dancer in the popular sense. She uses the dance merely as one of the means to acquaint the peoples throughout the world with the refined tempers of African life. She has danced before Dowager Queen Alexandra of England and members of British nobility with signal success. She will be assisted by Mrs. Dewitt-Smith, soprano, and will be presented under the direction of Hazel Thompson Davis. The proceeds will be for the benefit of a girl's industrial school which Miss Easmon and Mrs. Hayford her aunt, are founding at Freetown, Sierra Leone. Morgan Park is soon to experience a building boom of large dimensions. A well known construction company is to break ground soon on the construction of six bungalows, and expect to complete before Christmas, about 15 or 17 buildings. The buildings are to be sold on very easy terms. It is sincerely hoped that the new residents of Morgan Park will try to make this section of the city an object of investment, and not a place to be pointed at when disgust. The fact that hereofore substantial buildings have not been the rule, has greatly retarded the making of loans for building by the banks and loan people who have money to loan for such projects. The real estate men should see that all lots should be sold with a certain restriction on the character and kind of building that is to be erected on the property. It is our understanding that if these properties sell well the same people will put up about one hundred or more buildings during the coming year.

Monday night when a gunman slew Policeman Julius Gunther in Gary's "black belt." Hurry calls were sent to surrounding cities; some reaching as far as Chicago. All roads leading into Chicago were put under guard, and occupants of automobiles were halted and searched. When the atmosphere cleared up it was learned that Policeman Gunther, who is white, was shot dead by a gunman whom the officer was attempting to arrest for shooting a woman. The gunman was cornered in a poolroom by the policeman, and shot his way out. He has not been apprehended. Gary officials were strong in denial of any racial trouble, and reports that Mayor Hodges had mobilized a machine gun company were branded as false. JEALOUS WOMAN FIGHTS ABOUT HUSBAND Mrs. Anna Mae Thomas, 2932 Dearborn St. is confined at Providence Hospital suffering from several very bad cuts on the arm, wrist and shoulder. She engaged in a fight with Miss Mable Brown, 2012 Federal St, at 33rd and Wabash Ave. Officer Alfred Barksdale made the arrest. An old grudge over the said Mrs. Anna Thomas' husband was the cause of the fight. Miss Brown's escort, Mr. Wm. Black, is said to have urged matters on. The case was called before judge Harris, Monday, June 19th, and continued to Monday, July 7th. Miss Brown was released on $3,000 bonds while her escort, Mr. Wm. Black was released on bonds. Uses Beer Bottle On Woman Found With Husband When Mrs. Arthur Lyons entered a room at 3255 Forest Ave., she saw lying around on the floor several traces of what is now termed a "Fatty Arbuckle party," including several empty beer and whiskey bottles. Cigarette stumps also littered the floor. In addition to these things she found in the room in company with Miss Anna Smith, 27 years of age of 2944 La Salle St. She quickly utilized one of the beer bottles the merrymakers had just emptied, breaking it over the head of the Smith girl. Miss Smith is, of course, in the hospital with a lascerated head. MADE-TO MEASURE 197 Express on Postage Prepaid Guaranteed for 2 years solid wear or your money cheerfully retailed.

The spinal column is the only place where nerves pass between two hard, bony, movable surfaces; therefore it is the only place nerves can be impinged or the nerve supply restricted, and it matters not what part of the body or organ is affected, the cause is in the spinal column. We simply analyze the spine and tell you where you are affected. Chiropractic is the only science that removes the cause of disease. No drugs, no pain, no knife. We use nothing but our hands, and the whole object is accomplished when the nerves are released. This course of ers you to become a trained man or woman with recognized standing in your community.

S. Flipper, of the A. M. E. Church, the A. M. E. State Convention of Presiding Elders and members of the Executive Board of Morris Brown University have passed resolutions expressing their confidence in him. Bishop Flipper has been openly charged in the Bishops' Council with immorality by Mrs. Cawdus Davis, of Hawkinsville, Ga. In a lengthy affidavit Mrs. Davis charged that the bishop had been her sweetheart for seventeen years, that she had borne him a child, and that he had railed to keep his promises to marry her. Bishop Flipper denied all these charges and stated that he would prove his innocence at the proper time and place. The Annual Sunday School and Allen League Convention of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, assembled in East Macon, Georgia, desirous of placing upon record our esteem, appreciation and confidence in a religious leader whose signal services in the ministry and episcopacy has brought恳慎able and spirited benefits to our denomination and realizing that the rise to this distinction would reasonably bring about competitive agencies, almost self-assuming, as he faces these vast and far-reaching responsibilities, the ministry and laity of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, representing a membership of nearly two hundred thousand in the state of Georgia, realizing while we cannot be the brunet of a responsibility oust and frightening, we express our appreciation and confidence in a religious leader so rare and meritorious, especially when there rests upon his shoulders so much of vital life to a great church and race. We, therefore, assure the Rt. Rev. J. S. Flipper, D.D., L.L.D., that a faithful constituency, not only delights to honor him, but register our approval of his counsel, wise lead, so that our educational institution's missionary agencies, young people's organizations, the ministry and churches reveal a growth, both phenomenal and unparalleled, certainly a distinction of which but few men can boast. The convention, therefore, is unwilling to wait for others upon this occasion in annual convention assembled so surrounded by the official representatives of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the state of Georgia, with nearly one thousand delegates, the flower of the church and race, we here and now register our approval of the untold benefits which have come to African Methodism, and believe the continuation of his leadership will yet open doors to race opportunity of which the past is by a beginning. Resolved, first, that the council of Presiding Elders, the representatives of our schools, the entire membership of the Annual Sunday School and Allen Christian Endeavor League Convention pray that the Holy Spirit may enlarge his vision, strengthen his intellect and gird him for the leadership which this great century imposes upon men who stand in the fore front of a great church and race; Resolved, second, that we delight to note his quiet and genial spirit under the most trying circumstances, all indicative of a safe and strong leader, whose life for over forty years as a minister and fourteen years as bishop makes him a man and religious leader worthy of confidence and respect; Resolved, third, that we the religious leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the state of Georgia, assure the Episcopacy, the ministry, and laity of African Methodism throughout the world, that we shall allow no interest, branch or department of our great denomination to suffer under his administration and leadership.

Eighth Regiment By 1st Lieut. Matthew R. Johnson By 1st Lieut. Matthew R. Johnson As "the Old Eighth" detained in Chicago after 15 days of training at Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, and as they marched through the streets enroute to the Armory, those who saw them on the line of march will admit that they looked the part in the war. The modern warfare were given to them by the officers of the regiment, many of whom saw service overseas, assisted by instructors of the regular army. Every man that left Chicago and other home stations returned a 100 per cent better man from a military standpoint. Expression of satisfaction came from the adjunct general, Chief of Staff Frank S. Dickson; Senior Instructor Colonel Chas, G. Nelson, U. S. A.; Colonel Wm. H, Patterson, U. S. A., and Colonel Riching J, Shand, U. S. A. The progress and adaptability of the men were remarkable. For instance, men who had never before seen or even held an automatic rifle, after three days in camp qualified as expert riflemen, which consisted in dismounting and mounting the automatic rifle blindfolded in less than three minutes, naming all parts and telling their use. Also the same applies to the men of the machine gun companies. Every man qualified before the allotted time. One would have had to be present in camp and see the men under training to fully realize and appreciate the desires of each man to excel. As usual the Eighth can boast of many honors of which has always been.

Colored Combat Unit authorized by the War Department. He was answered admirably by Colonel Otis B. Duncan from whom words of eloquence flowed freely in his usual masterful and convincing manner. While in the Capitol City, the citizens of Springfield admit that the greatest social affair held there was that of the military ball given at the State Arsenal on Wednesday evening, Sept. 7, 1921. Nothing was more pleasing to the eyes than the uniforms of the officers and men. A band concert was the opening feature, under the directorship of the commander of the band section, Service Co., Lieut. Jas, B. Tucker. Next was a grand march headed by Chief of Staff Gen. F. S. Dickson and Miss Estelle Arnold, niece of the former colonel, John R. Marshall; followed by Col. Otis B. Duncan and Capt. Shepard A. Ware, medical Detachment, 8th Inf., L. N. G. Distinguished guests were: Col Charles Nelson, U. S. A., Col Wm Patterson, U. S. A., Col. Frank L. Taylor and family, and all U. S. A. instructors present in camp. Lieut Col. John H. Paterson and Cap and Caps, James C. Hall displayed their genius for administration while in camp. One can conceive an idea of the enormity of the task, when one considers that there were nearly 1400 present in camp, every one of whom were kept busy each minute of the day. Too much praise cannot be given Capt. Stanley B. Norvell, commander of the Service Co., upon whom the regiment depended for food, clothing, and music. Major Rufus M. Stokes, commander of the Special Units, expressed satisfaction in the envious records that were made by the companies under his command in the technics of the Browning machine gun.

NOSEY HAS for a long time wondered what so many a fair-haired pale-faced painted "ladies" were doing out on the south side every evening. He watched them get off elevator and surface cars coming from the North every evening at about seven or eight o'clock. Each carried a little Boston bag which seemed to budge from its contents. Nosey saw them go to various points on Indiana, Avenue, Wabash and Calumet Avenues and Grand Boulevard. Nosey had his wish fulfilled about those bags. One fell from a lady's hand as she descended the Elevated rather unsteadily Saturday eye. Comb and brush-powder and paint, and some delicate feminine silk apparel which was beyond Nosey to determine what purpose it served. Nosey concluded that the South side receives many travelers who had come sight-seeing. Yet Nosey has noticed that the same faces appear almost every night. Another mystery? ONE REALLY has to be careful with whom they take automobile rides. Nosey was driving through the park the other night when he recognized a little lady that was trying her best to find the way out. She was following the automobile drive. When Nosey stopped and asked her why she was crying she admitted that she was lost and admitted to a number of other things which Nosey cannot relate. At any rate she could not be persuaded to get in the car with Nosey as she said she had walked far enough already and would stick it out till she got to the street car line. She accepted Nosey's direction to the nearest street car line but would not ride to that street. She did accept car-fare because her purse was still in the other car. She has learned her lesson but the worst part of it she cannot tell anyone about the affair and in that respect differs from some married women that Nosey knows who tell at least their "best friend" all that happens to them. SOME DAY THE gentlemen who gather on Wahash Avenue will find out that their "swell apartment" and all of its equipment will no longer be there. Noisy round out that all of the money that they have given their "houskeeper" has not been spent as instructed and that all of the furnishings is in the name of the gentleman friend of the "houskeeper," or mother as they are pleased to call her. When they have paid enough for it to be easy for her to carry the load she plans to move, bag and baggage. She has too much on the "gentlemen" for them to put up a boiler and will have a clean get-away. Never figure that a woman gets too old to figure, or you will lose some of your corn. Noisy knows. ```markdown ``` EVERY NOW and then Nosey goes to church. Last Sunday he made one of those popular churches and almost "fell out" when he saw who three of the "shining lights" and collection takers were. They looked at Nosey and Nosey looked at them. They passed the collection plate but bind the good judgment to pass Nosey. After service Nosey saw them depart each with a lady. Nosey and the three "shining lights" met again that night under the "bright lights" and again they were passing the plates for coms. It all shows that if you are skilled in a given line—stick to it, no matter where you are. YOU WILL MAKE a mistake every now and then in your plan. Nosey was down on Michigan Avenue the other night looking in the shop windows, his back to the street. He felt rather than saw a lady near him. Then he board a familiar voice say, "I'm sorry that I'm late Harry, but I just could not get away any sooner." Nosey turned not yet knowing that the remarks were addressed to him. He looked down into the face of one of "society's young buds," who then became redder than the paint she wore. Nosey knew who Harry was and she knew he knew so that she did not try to wriggle out of it. Nosey only gave her the advice that it pays to see a man's face as well as his back before speaking or some of one's precious secrets will leak out. Nosey would like to tell the little girl's mother but he knows that that lady would swear that her daughter was at the movies and did not wear paint. Why worry her, theft?

Correct training will benefit any voice and it is the duty which everyone owes— both to himseli and to those with whom he comes in contact—that his voive should happen to be ‘pleasant and well modulated so as not to “get on the nerves" of his hearers, Also it is most commendable that all per- sous learn to sing to whatever extent is reasonably possible, ‘The amount of pure beneht and ‘enjoyment. de- rived from singing cannot well be overestimated. “The object. of this article is then to call attention merely to the fact that the ability to sing without giving offence does not by any meangrinerease the ability to pre- seit one’s self to the public in con- cert or recital, “Once upon a time” it was a rare thing for singers to appear in concert unless possessed ot extraordinary voice and in that golden time concert goers were rarely disappointed in, the niusic to which they listened. Now, however, things have changed be cause in the mad rush for fame (2) and public commendation, music stu- dems so seldom stop to ascertain whether or not they possess good voices and have had sufficient training to warrant public appearance. A voice does not.of necessity have te be a Jarge one in order to give pleasure Wut there must be a voice and the hest results possible should be at tained with it before the pugplic is in- vited to hear it. ‘The piano recital of Pansy Shaw at the Appomattox Club, will be given on the aiternoon of October 30th, 1921, instead of October 10, as was stated last week.

INK WILLIAMS FORECASTS FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP To determine a championship football team in September recalls to my mind the man who bet that he could tell just how far a frog could jump by looking at him. However wrong I may be in deciding a championship that will not be renewed until the last of November I am safe in saying that I have seen some of the teams both standing still and in action, and my intrinsical and extrinsical knowledge of the game compels me to say that some teams will still be marking time when the curtain is drawn in November and of course will "in place" half much to the disappointment of their Alma Mater. Just which teams will jump from September to a November Championship is only a matter of conjecture, the mere opinion of one man, but not to be taken too lightly, for the fundamentals upon which I shall base my conjecture are football facts which cannot be denied. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Much praise is due to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association for the formulating of a constitution that will undoubtedly create a more harmonious feeling among the teams. However, the association might have gone a step further and created sectional boundaries which would have taken in all the colleges so that a championship might be decided in each section of the country. For sake of convenience I shall divide the country into the eastern, the middle west and the southern districts and make an unbiased attempt to pick a winner of each district. The Big Four In the eastern district the classic distinction of being called The Big Four falls to ioward, Lincoln O'S OWN A HUNTER and Fame Sings reet Daddy, How cord No. 2008 se of the 5th series van Record 2008. Y", No. 2015, by on, whose Con- ses all others in ost loved song of By J. Mayo "Ink" Williams Hampton and Union. There are many other schools in the district such as Shaw, Biddle, Bennett, Virginia Normal and many other smaller schools which have a wealth of material, but Lincoln, Howard, Hampton and Union are so far above these schools that it is no more than fair that a mark of exclusive distinction should separate them. In these schools there is perhaps more football ingenuity than all the other schools combined. Yet, even among them, one team must stand preeminently supreme each year as a model for the colored football world to view. Last year it was Howard. What will it be this year? In my mind's eye I can see Coach, Morrison, Trigg and Carter, perhaps the greatest of all colored quarterbacks, laying plans for the Hampton, Union and Lincoln games, and of course their subsequent burial which will bring to Howard the Champion's title. But I did not guess work but the result of looking at the situation from a rational point of view—Howard has the coaches, the material and the consolidated harmony necessary to enable her to turn out a team equal to any in the country. Of course Lincoln will be strong, stronger perhaps than last year, but it will take more than one year for Lincoln to execute Shelbourne's 'Dartmouth shift with championship exactness. Hampton and Union may surprise either of these teams; but these teams have always been one man teams and until a Gayle or Hurles is found they will have to be satisfied with what might have Fisk or West Virginia In the central southern states another combination exists among the institutions of Fisk, West Virginia, Wilberforce and Kentucky State and Rodger Williams. In all of these schools there is a wealth of material; but West Virginia and Fisk seem to possess the material necessary for a championship team. Fisk, however, has the edge on account of the large number of students from which it has to select its team. Kentucky State enough to host, but hardly strong enough to host of a championship. Wilberforce, with Hurd, will be a worthy opponent for any school; but she will undoubtedly succumb to Lincoln and that famous Dartmouth shift too early in the season to be a contender for honors except over Rodger Williams and the smaller schools. Morehouse Supreme in the South Morehouse, for years, has won the championship of the extreme south in which vicinity such schools as Tuskegee, Atlanta, and Talladega stand supreme in athletics. The success of Morehouse is due to the spirit with which they play the game, and the large squad from which the coaches pick the eleven. Talladega will undoubtedly be strong again as well as Tuskegee, and Atlanta University; but Morehouse, with a wealth of material, should again lay claim to the southern championship and then challenge Howard for the undisputed championship of the country.

PHONE KENWOOD 2389 COLUMBUS BUCKEYES SMASH BRISCOES 7 TO 3 JACKSON, MICH., Oct. 1—After taking the measure of all the clubs of "Rube" Foster's colored league who have played here, the Briscoes were forced to take the short end of a 7 to 5 count against the Columbus Buckeyes. Saturday. The winners looked like the best ball club the Briscoes have faced on the home lot this year both in the field and with their bats. Determined to take the first game Manager John Lloyd sent Rile, his pitching ace, to the mound and he turned the hard hitting Automakers back with six hits. He showed the Briscoes a varied assortment of curves mixed with a change of pace which kept them batted most of the time. Standish was the only one to gather more than one hit off the ball. The Briscoes were hitting the ball in the air most of the time. This fact is more strongly brought out by looking at the box score. The Buckeye outfield retired 11 Briscoes batters on fly balls while five others popped out to the infield. Infield Kept Busy While the Briscoes were hitting in the air the Buckeyes were either lining out hits or keeping the ball on the ground. Twenty-two assists were made by the local indefenders, Toley having five, McElligott, six and Standish, five. Saier had 10 putouts at first. Standish started for the Briscoes but was taken out in the fifth after the visitors had made four runs and had the bases filled. Hagerman finished and was batted hard in the ninth. Lloyd walked in the first with one out but was cut down in a double play trying to steal second as Hudspeth struck out. Loney, the first batter to face Rile, was passed. Tooley fouled out and Dunckle struck out. Saier sent Smith almost to the center field fence for his high fly. Thomas waited Standish out to start the second. Brennegan had him caught off first but Anderson was out of position to see the play. Smith and Wesley sacrificed in order. Thomas tried to steal home but was out on a close play. Briscoes Score First Streeter was granted free transportation to first by Rile to start the Briscoe's half. McElligott fouled out to Eggleston. Kuhn's single down the right field foul line sent Streeter to third and he counted on Brenegan's sacrifice fly to Bemost. Standish doubled over the left field fence. Lloyd threw out Loney on a fast play. Neither team had runners on in the third. Two great running catches saved Rile. With one out Smith robbed Duncle of a double pulling down his drive in right center while under full speed. Bennett took a single from Saier coming in back to third to make the catch. Buckeyes Hit Hard Lloyd made the Buckeyes' first hit in the fourth doubling over the left field force after Tooley had Bennett down on a fast play. Hedspeth then put his team in the lead clubbing a home run over the left field wall. Thomas followed with another double over the same barrier. It was a terrific drive, the hardest of the three. Standish knocked down Smith's drive but couldn't get him at first. Thomas rounded third and was caught off the sack, Smith going to second on the play. Smith advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on Wesley's line single to center. McElligott threw out Davis. After Streeter had fled out to Lloyd McElligott walked. Kuhn popped out to VIM SPECIAL NERVE AND BLOOD TABLETS For nervous prostration, lost vitality, sexual exhaustion. A wonderful blood builder for weak, run-down people.

Kuhn ran for Brennegan and took second on the hit. Rile filled the bases when he issued a pass to Loney. Tooley ended the frame popping out to Lloyd. Standish got himself in trouble in the fifth. Eggleston singled to center and went to third on successive infield outs by Rile and Bennett. Standish then passed Lloyd, Hudspeth and Thomas in a row, forcing Eggleston home. This ended Standish's stay on the hill, Hagemangoing to the slab. Smith scratched a single through Tooley scoring Lloyd, Tooley threw out Wesley. The Buckeye outfield retired the Briscoes in the fifth. Dunkle and Saier fled out to Smith and Streeter sent out a tall one to Wesley. The visitors were easy infield outs in the sixth. Hagemerman threw out Davis and Rile while Tooley disposed of Eggleston. Two Doubles in Seventh Successive doubles to left by Loney and Tooley brought back one run in the seventh. Dunckle and Saier failed to deliver in the pinch. The Buckeyes threatened in the eighth with one out. Wesley walked. As Davis struck out he started for second and went on to third when Tooley and McElligott were crossed and failed to take Brennegan's throw which went into center. Hagerman tightened and struck out Eggleston. Four hits in a row gave the visitors two runs in the ninth. Rile doubled over the right field fence. Bennett beat out a hit to Loney. Lloyd crossed up the Briscoe infield and pushed a bunt through scoring Rile and sending Lloyd to third. Hudspeth singled to center scoring Bennett. Thomas hit to McElligott. Tooley and Saier completed a double play. McElligott then tossed out Smith. Al Collamore will be sent out to stop the Buckeyes today. The colored club showed a great liking for fast balls and will face a different style of hurling today with Collamore using curve balls and a change of pace.

The rigorous training the men underwent the first week has driven off all undesirables and has left a squad which gives Coach Morrison an indication of just what he may expect for the year. At present the coach is noncommittal as to what he thinks of the prospects. The big problem seems to be the replacing of the men lost by graduation. While most of the remaining H men of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year's star pilot, who is yet expected to return, Brannon, Hurt, and Lawrence is keenly felt. Kean, who followed close to Carter as quarterback last year, has just showed up for practice. Practice will take an earnest angle the coming week in preparation for the first game of the season to be played October 8, at Lynchburg, Virginia, against Virginia Theological Seminary and College.

Hammer Freedom Into His Head Did the Ku Klux Klan, reorganizing since 1916, using the South as the base of its activities, really intend to revive slavery and throw the yoke and the overseer's lash upon the bare backs of the black people again?. If the Klan had this diabolical scheme in mind, did the black people stand in position to prevent it? Slavery is a terrible thing. It paralizes ambitions, stultifies the soul, dulls the brain and shrivels up the finer sensibilities of human beings. It robs men of manhood propensities and leaves them groveling with little to separate them from the kingdom of brutes. The black man was in slavery fifty-five years ago and time has wrought many a drastic change upon him, but "it does not yet appear" that the black man is entirely removed from the tendencies of slaves. The Ku Klux Klan being rooted and grounded in southern soil could not help but recognize the palpable ignorance and the cringing, crouching attitude of the benighted black people. They saw how easily slavery could be hidden on peonage farms, they saw how legal machinery was loath to operate against this crime, they saw riots breaking lose in the north and race hatred scattering all over the Union. The Ku Klux knew that sympathy for the freedom of black people was fast failing and that no strong spirit would rise up to champion the rights of the unfortunates. Then the Klan got busy and if strong external forces had not checked their activities the black people would have been pushed back into conditions bordering on slavery itself. Their property would have been seized and converted, they would have been driven like cattle to the deserted farms of the Bourbon Southerners. The overseer's lash would have cracked again, while terror and wild-eyed fear would have made the polls and voting places forbidden ground. Thus slavery would have flourished in southern climes again and the black man stood powerless to prevent it. Notwithstanding the fact that the black people had many lawyers, physicians, professors and ministers they were still powerless to prevent it. The college trained black men of America do not number ten thousand, and those who have been liberally educated by reading, experience and contact scarcely approach the three hundred thousand mark, and a glimpse into the minds of the other millions will reveal the fact that several million black people are timid, humble and subservient. Several million black people live in silent fear of their overbearing white brother. Several million black people gaze in childish wonderment at the work of the world. Several millions consider themselves unfit and inferior, and it was this weakness and failing that Ku Klux discovered and prepared to take advantage of. The great task of those among our race who have evolved from slavery into actual freedom—freedom of thought and freedom of vision—is to hammer the idea of freedom and equality into the minds of their backward brothers. Freedom gives bravery, daring and courage to those who possess it. The black man must be made free in his own mind. He must be made to think as the Jews think—that they are God's chosen people. When the black man becomes freed in mind and the tentacles of slavery are snatched out of his pondering brain then no force in creation can stem his progress. The Ku Klux would think twice before they contemplated reducing him to a beast of burden. When the mind of America's black citizens is unfettered the most noble citizens that America has yet produced will be born again. Let us hammer in our own heads the idea that WE ARE FREE. McCormick Will Save The Day If the people of Chicago are tired of corrupt politics and vice immunity privileges they had better seriously unite themselves with opposing forces who plan to reek havoc with the political machine which has tolerated the Ku Klux Klan and the bombing of our homes. Senator Medill McCormick has already presented his plan for a lynching commission before Congress, and if he is successful in getting this great evil before the public in the light of truth a Federal Law will be passed. It is hoped that Brundage and Deneen forces will get together under the mantle of Senator McCormick and present a solid front against the Thompson Machine, which makes good government and high citizenship a joke. The better thinking people of all races are in favor of a change and Senator McCormick, with a strong personality and clean political record, seems to be logical leader of the clean thinkers. Let Attorney General Brundage and Ex-Governor Dineen prepare for the "twilight of Thompson" and the dawn of better political days. Let's get behind McCormick. THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith The human heart is a small muscular organ about in fist. This organ beats on the average of 72 beats per individual. It works in sympathy with the body; when you rest the heart rests, when you work the heart works. If you overwork yourself, either mentally or physically, the heart also is overworked. This is a point often overlooked by sufferers of heart disease. The best medicine there is for an overworked heart is rest. 600 I was prompted to write this article on the heart when I looked through the Bureau of Vital Statistics and found that of all the death returns, heart disease ranks first as the cause of death. If we are to profit by the past, it is timely that something should be done or said in regard to the prevention and early signs of heart weakness, because it is a known fact that if heart disease is diagnosed early enough a permanent cure may be possible, or if not possible, a person may prolong his life so that heart disease may not be the cause of death. DR. TROY SMITH EARLY SIGNS OF HEART WEAKNESS It is a sign of heart weakness if the heart does not slow down during sleep. In a normal heart it often drops as low as 60 beats per minute. There is also heart weakness if there is a tendency to yawn or to take long breaths after slight exertions or during moderate exercise, or if there is a feeling of suffocation and the person suddenly wants the windows open or cannot work, even for a few minutes in a closed room. If the heart tends to increase in rapidity on lying down, or the person cannot breathe well or feels suffocated with one ordinary pillow, the heart shows more or less weakness. Shortness of breath after climbing stairs is also a sign of heart weakness, and this practice is not recommended for a person with heart weakness. DISEASES THAT WEAKEN THE HEART There are various diseases that weaken the heart muscle, among them may be mentioned asthma, emphysema, whooping cough and prolonged bronchitis, with hard coughing will dilate the heart. Even one attach of hard coughing will temporarily enlarge the heart. From these slight occurrences however, the heart quickly returns to its normal size, but if the coughing is frequently repeated, the enlargement is more prolonged. The acute infectious diseases, including either acute or chronic tonsilitis, mouth and nose infections and diphtheria, may injure the heart muscle. Most every person that has had diphtheria will show some weakness in the heart muscles. Of the chronic diseases, tubercolosis and neglected syphilis have a marked degenerative effect upon the human heart. Remember, the heart is the most important organ of the system, and it works in sympathy with your body and when you protect your body you also protect your heart. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. The Pittsburgh Courier, one of the black man's newspapers, has been using every journalistic device and scheme yet unearthed to justify the actions and attitude of President Harding and the Republican party to our race. Editor Vann has written that the race was being put through the "acid test of faith" and that such appointments as have been sought have been given to us. It is the old story of trying to keep on the good side of our enemies and should not be tolerated by a red-blooded people. Roscoe Simmons, posing as the President of the Lincoln League, which rotteth in the grave, is barnstorming New York State and was tendered a banquet in Buffalo by the "leading black citizens." Roscoe's voice now comes as a sound from the tomb. He is as dead as a door nail for all practical purposes. The present age is truly "The Twilight of the Uncle Toms." William Munroe Trotter has struggled long and faithfully in the interest of his people. His life has been vicious to a fault, and now as this stalwart veteran totters under the weight of advancing years his enemies seek to disrupt his organization, the Equal Rights League. Trotter is truly an exponent of Equal Rights and would not even counsel a Jim Crow Y. M. C. A. in Boston. We trust that even though his enemies be legion that he will overthrow them in the end. The City Council of Atlanta comes to the rescue of the Ku Klux Klan and denounced the critics and opponents. It contended that the Knights of Columbus are the real offenders because they allow black people to worship in the same church with them. Georgia is certainly the camping ground of the Devil and very much similar to Hell's half acre. What would Roosevelt have done to the K. K. K.? No imagination is necessary. With his big stick he would have cracked the thick skulls of the Wizards, Kleagles and Goblins, but Teddy is dead and Warren G. Harding is with us. What will he do? Editor's Mail UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP after, it will be the white man that will give it—I am sorry to say. The Black Man's Charity that you speak of wanted 60 black women to work as captains of teams. Did they get them—No, they got only 42 and six doctors, and had a hard time trying to get ten workers to work under these captains. If the black man with the wounds, worked with his boss's rescue, then the black man would not have to ask the white man for anything. Editor, Kind Sir: In your paper of September 24th, I noticed you spoke of James Hamilton Lewis speaking in the interest of one of the Black Man's Charities. I wish to say to you and all the black men like you, that if the black men and women of today would give a little of their time and money to the Black Man's Charities as J. Hamilton Lewis has, then he would not have to go to the white man and ask him for help at all. I happen to know of this particular Black Man's Charity that you speak of, and happen to be Captain of one of the teams, and not a black man that I have gone to have given me over $5.00, but every white man and woman that I go to give me from $25 up, and if they get the amount they are out In reading over your paper. I do not even see an Editorial about the meeting—How is that? Had you been at the speaking Monday night you would probably have heard him trying to explain to the colored people that he had been misrepresented. I hope you will be so kind as to print this under your "Lash of the Whip" in your next issue. A Constant Reader.
