Heeding her departed sister's dying injunction, Mrs. Henry Jennings, 2947 rPairie Ave, refused to allow her niece to be taken from her care, and when attacked by the child's step-father, Joseph McCoy, she shot him dead. When Mrs. McCoy died in August, she entrusted her 13-year old daughter, Ruby Lee McCoy, to the care of her sister, Mrs. Jennins. She asked that the child be guarded and protected, and never allowed to leave her aunt. Monday night Joseph McCoy, the dead women's husband, and step-father of the child appeared at the home of Mrs. Jennings and demanded custody of Ruby Lee. Mrs. McCoy refused to surrender the child and ordered McCoy from her home. He became abusive, and began to beat and curse her, according to her testimony at the coroner's inquest. When he attacked her she fled from one room to another, finally taking refuge in her bedroom. In the drawer of her dresser was a revolver. When McCoy broke into the bedroom and cornered her in his rage, she seized the gun and fired one shot, killing him instantly. The bullet entered his body just above the heart. At the coroner's inquest Tuesday morning at Jackson's Morgue, 3317 State St., coroner's jury voted a charge of murder against her. She will be held for indictment by the grand jury. McCoy was 31 years of age and lived at 3012 Vernon Ave. FORMER MINISTER TO LIBERIA LEAVES $300,000 ESTATE ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 15.—The estate of J.

It is understood the members of the "vengeance nad" have gone back to Fort Worth. No concerted effort was made to obtain Bunn, who was brought here for safekeeping following his indictment at Fort Worth yesterday on a charge of robbery with firearms. Fort Worth Jail Searched Before starting for Dallas the crowd compelled officials to permit a group to go through the Tarrant county jail in search of the prisoner. Word that the party, was en route here was received late last night by local officials, and preparations were made to forestall any possible trouble. According to officers, it would be virtually impossible for a prisoner to be taken from the local jail, as the structure is an especially strong one. Police Report Confession Bunn was arrested at Fort Worth Wednesday, and, according to police, confessed that he was the man who robbed members of the house party and escaped with approximately $1,500 worth of jewelry after having attempted to mistreat a girl whom he had used as a shield in getting away from the house.

Read, Think and Act EIGHT PAGES TO D Orleans R-IN-LAW BRING BODY HERE FOR FINAL CEREMONIES Mack McKenzie Roane, the organizer of the great court Gen. Robt. Eliott, Ancient Order of Foresters, and the founder of Lady Elliott Rorestic Auxillaries, passed away Thursday, October 6th, at his former home in Louisiana. His remains were shipped to Chicago, arriving Sunday morning, October 9th. "Daddy Roane," as he was affectionately called by all Foresters, was a unique character. He was quiet and unassuming, yet the possessor of one of the greatest minds in America. When the Order of Foresters was hinging on the question of retaining the Negro as members, or letting the principles die under the weight of southern prejudice, "Daddy Roane" put the question up to the High Court of the World, which is in England. True to their doctrine, he ruled that if the white members could not accept the doctrine of Robin Hood, the founder, which was the equality of man, then they could secede, which they did, and started what was called the Independent Order of Foresters, which met a sudden and violent death a few years later. This decision of the High Court in favor of Negroes meant the loss of 28,000 white members. But Roane, through his wonderful organizing ability, soon demonstrated that they made no mistake, for he organized the largest, richest and most progressive branch in the jurisdiction, namely, Court Gen. Robt. Elliott. His remains will lie in state at the Foresters' Hall, 44th and State streets, from Saturday at 2 P. M. until Sunday. Forestric service will be held in the main hall at 1:30 P. M., after the body will be escorted to the funeral home. Mugshot tober 17th, at 11 A. M. The body will be taken to St. Thomas Episcopal Church for the final church rites, thence to Oakwood. ADMITS CRUSHING WIFE'S HEAD WITH STONE PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 15—Jesse Asherroft, of Clairton, near here, is on trial for the slaying of his wife, Mrs. Lula Asherroft. Asherroft has confessed the killing, saying he committed the act through jealousy. There were no eye witnesses to the killing, and the commonwealth's case is based almost entirely upon the confession. Asherroft said that while walking along a lonely road between Duquesne and Dravosburg he picked up a stone and crushed his wife's head with it, after which he dragged her body to an embankment and cast it over. He is said to have become enraged when he came home from work to find his wife away, and later saw her with another man. Made Treasurer. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 15.—The Rev. Benjamin F. Gordon, pastor of the Broadway Evangelical Church, has been elected secretary-treasurer of the Ministerial Association of this city. Rev. Gordon is a graduate of Fisk and Chicago universities. He is the first man of his race to be elected to this office. EATH CROWD SCREAMS "LYNCH HIM" IN OPEN COURT Invaded West Side Man's Home, Took His Wife, Killed And Tortured His Children. Visions of Southern justice arose in the Desplaines street police court Friday, when Roy Butler, 23 years of age, 2241 Fulton street, was booked on charges of murder and attempt to murder. As he was held for the killing of a 7-year-old white boy, a woman in the audience screamed, "Lynch himi Lynch him!" The echo was taken up by the crowd in the court room, and resounded through the corridors. A cordon of policemen was quickly thrown around the man, and he was hurried to the county jail, where he is now held. Tortured Victim with Hot Water. Butler's crime is said to include the pouring of boiling water over the bare legs of 7-year-old Harvey Coleman, who is in the county hospital in a critical condition, and with having beat and tortured Harold Coleman, two and one-half years of age, to such an extent that the child died July 18, 1918. Drove Father from Home. Prior to that time, it is alleged Butler drove Harvey Coleman, Sr. (white), from the home, and with Mrs. Coleman, also white, took full possession of the family belongings. He is supposed to have lived there since with her. Mrs. Coleman, mother of the victims, and Ray Gibbons (white), 5151 North Hermitage avenue, are also held as accessories. It is said that Mrs. Coleman stood by and watched her lover torture her children. Butler's favorite pastime, it is said, was taking the boys out into the barn, hanging them by their toes, and prodding them with needles. TRIED TO JIM CROWA.M.E. MINISTERS RETURNING FROM EUROPE BALTIMORE, Oct. 15—Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst have just returned from England, France and Belgium, where he, with other A. M. E. ministers attended a joint conference of Methodist churches. Bishop Hurst gives an interesting account of attempts to jim-crow the party returning on the White Star liner "Adriatic." The chief steward, he says, attempted to segregate all members of the carty in one corner of the dining room. This attempt was overruled, he says, by the captain of the ship. GarveySaysDuBois Represented U.N. I.A.In Europe NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 15. Marcus Garvey said among many other things in a most interesting speech to an immense audience of over six thousand at Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th Street, New York City, Sunday night last, that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, though presumably has journeyed to Europe to hold a Pan-African Congress has virtually and practically journeyed there as a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, wherein a considerable of his time and that of the Congress was consumed and devoted to explanations of his non-connections with Garvey or the Garvey movement. Garvey said: "DuBois has unwittingly done more good and has given more publicity to the Universal Negro Improvement Association than we could have had at a considerable expense of time and money." Mr. Garvey then quoted the Leading White Daily Press of England and Paris from which he had recent clippings, giving wide publicity to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, pro and con. BANDITS ROB BANK RUNNER OF $100,000 ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12.—Robert Hardiman, messenger for the Grand Avenue Bank, was held up by two armed bandits on an eastbound Olive street car, near Twentieth street, Monday, and robbed of a satchel containing $17,650 in cash, $83,922.85 in checks and drafts, and $400 worth of government coupons. The men stood off the other occupants of the car at the point of revolvers and escaped in a Ford sedan which a confederate had kept in readiness. The robbery was the second spectacular hold-up of a bank messenger within a month, and the third daylight robbery effected in the last seven months. On September 14 similar methods were employed in robbing a runner for the North St. Louis Trust Company of $14,000. Before this, Eris Pillow, another messenger for the same bank, was held up, and later killed to stop his testimony. Offered No Resistance. The robbers began their work in the partly filled street car by walking up to Hardiman's seat and jamming their pistols against his ribs. They then ordered him to hand them the small bag which he had placed between his feet. Although armed with a loaded pistol, Hardiman had no chance to make resistance, and he complied with their demands. The two men escaped in the auto after forcing the conductor of the car to open the doors and let them out. The machine had been stolen by them from Dominie Kunette of 1404 North Nineteenth street, a short time before Hardiman also left the car at Twentieth street, stopping to phone George W. Clarkson, president of the bank, and then going with a patrolman to police headquarters. According to his story related to detectives, Hardiman has been employed by the Grand Avenue Bank for ten years. Yesterday morning he left at the usual hour for his trip to the National Bank of Commerce and "Tailor of the Day." He was unguarded. It had been his custom to make three such trips each day. Sb Surprised, He Says. He explained that he always planned to sit well toward the front of the car and on this occasion took the fourth seat back of the motorman on the south side. At Twentieth street he was held up by the bandits. He was so surprised, he said, that he handed them the grip containing the money without remonstrance. Hardiman's story was corroborated by Harry Fischer, 522 North Vandeventer avenue, and D. R. McGibbooney, 3733 Lacede avenue, who were passengers on the car. Both men said that they witnessed the holdup and saw the robbers ride away in the automobile. President Clarkson announced that the loss in negotiable papers would be negligible, as payment would be stopped. Hardiman is 42 years old and lives at 3014A Garrison court. BARBER HOLDS RECORD OF 60,000 SHAVES KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 15.—While Babe Ruth holds the world's record for slamming out fifty-nine home runs in one season and "Billy" Sunday has established a record almost unbelievable in making folks hit the sawdust trail, and John D. Rockefeller has a record as an oil magnate in making millions, a Knoxville barber in the personage of Madison Simms has perhaps established a world's record in shaving more than 60,000 people at the same stand in the same barber shop during the past 21 years. Simms is one of the veteran barbers of the city, and is employed at the shop that for more than two score years has been in the same location Charles Chandler, proprietor of the shop, and also one of the oldest barbers of the city, announced Thursday that the shop would be moved to its new location early in October, and in telling of the change, he said: "I guess Uncle Madison will hate to move from the shop that has been his home for 21 years. We have been leased out and have to sunt a new home." Simms is very popular with his customers, many of whom he has known since childhood."

Dr. AL JOHNSON'S DIA MOND RING DISAPPEARS IN DREAMLAND For several years Dr. Al Johnson, well known dentist in the Johnson Building, 3518 State St., has taken the precaution to leave his $1000 diamond ring with "Sheriff" Simpson when he went home at night. Simpson is the door keeper at the Dreamland Cafe. Each morning the doctor would get it on his return to his office. It was proved last week, however, that diamond robberies may occur in a brilliantly lighted cafe as well as in a dark side street. Ed Brown, night watchman at the Dreamland saw and admired the glistening stone on "Sheriff's" hand. He asked to see it. Simpson obliged Brown by taking it from his finger and showing it to him. From that moment to this whereaouts of the diamond have been shrouded in mystery. It disappeared as completely as smoke in the wind. Brown claims he gave it back to "Sheriff. This "Sheriff" strenuously denies. At any rate, the ring is gone. October 20 is the date set for the airing in the police court of the mystery of the disappearing diamond. U. N. I. A.

You see people on the streets every day, hobbling painfully along. They tell you they are suffering from rheumatism. The crippling pain in their ankles and joints is rheumatism—caused by an acid poison in their blood. Any disease caused by tainted or poisoned blood will cause great suffering, cripple, disfigure and sometimes result in death. The disease should be treated by a reliable doctor or a medicinal preparation used, the merit of which is known. A well-known Southern Doctor spent years treating diseases caused by poisoned or tainted blood, such as rheumatism, lame back, aching bones, itching skin diseases, chronic ulcerous sores, and so on. His prescription relieved many thousands, made them happy—this same prescription should help you.

"Telegraph at once urging immediate and favorable action on the anti-lynching bill introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri. Never before has the opportunity been so favorable to stamp out America's most hideous form of crime. "The present session of Congress will be a short one. Our time is therefore short to accomplish the passage of this measure. Congress will act if our representatives know the people want action. The way to let them know is to telegraph and to write, keeping a constant stream of communications pouring into Washington from every part of the United States. "It is now or never so far as the Dyer bill is concerned. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made horticultural efforts to organize sentiment in favor of the bill. Representative Dyer is confident of its chances of passage. But it is now up to colored America if it is really willing to antilynching law they can have it. The way to have it is to tell your representatives that you want it." "Strike now, for the Dyer federal anti-lynching bill. Telegraph Writer. The time is short. The opportunity is a great one. We can grasp it if we act together, ten million strong." JAMES WELDON JOHNSON. (Signed) Gets Death Penalty LAKE CHARLES, La., Oct. 15.

The Rubel College of Chiropractic, Inc., 4041 Indiana Ave., Drexel 4922, is now ready to enroll students. There is a great demand and a broad field for both men and women in this wonderful science. CHIROPRACTIC (Ni-ro-prak-tik) Is the science of adjusting the subluxations (displacements) in the spinal column, commonly called back bone, for the purpose of removing the pressure from impinging nerves. 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.

Burgess, of Savannah, employed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, probably has the largest family in Georgia. He is the father of 32 children and has had three wives. Twenty-six of these children are living. When a newspaper reporter went to see Burgess and his numerous offspring, he found them all living happily and contented in the suburbs. He has been blessed with seven sets of twins and two sets of triplets. The oldest son is 45 and the other members of the family are married, giving Burgess immunerable grandchildren. When the last set of twins were born Burgess and his wife had run out of names for them and they grew up nameless, finally selecting their own names when they entered public school. Burgess skied at selecting names when he found that among his progeny he had been "doubling up," having two "Willies" and two "Sallies" in the flock. Washington Back Mr. Jas.

Since then he has held many responsible gositions as_an engineer which demonstrates the fact that a colored gnar ean succeed in this Uifticult profession provided he loves the work well enough to sacrifice for it. He has had professional connec- tion as_an engineer with the following corporation: The Missourk. Pacific Railroads. the Pennsylvania Railroad; the Chica, and Northwestern Rail road: Ges W.

Lake Tunnel, a $2,000,000 project and part of the ‘water supply. system of Chicago. As a result of this investi- gation and his connection with it, Mr. Duke went to the University of Wis- consin where he conducted certain ex- periments having to do with the rela- tion between the compressive strength and the speed of boring concrete. ‘The result of these tests were published and attracted wide notice and com ment. He received his Master's de- gree of C, E, from this University in 1913.

A year or two ago, Mr. Duke demon- strated his interest in the housing con- ditions of his race by publishing a pamphlet on this subject which was) favorably commented upon by both. the colored and the white press. \ Zoning Commissions have been ap-' pointed in most of our. largest cities and have a most important bearing especially upon, the living. conditions of the people. Therefore, it is the in- tention of Mr. Duke, to keep, colored citizeny well informed ay to the prog ress of the work of this Commission through the medium of the press and: Hwublic| meetings, Whenever proposed tistriets are determined it will be the practice of the Commission to hold public hearings at which citizens may voice their sentiments in regard to any proposed manner of districting.

GILES POST ASSAILS HUI KLUIN KLAN At its regular meeting held on Octo- ber 6, the George L. Giles Post of the ‘American Legion passed the following resolution condemning the Ku Klux Klan: “Whereas, The attention of _ the George L. Giles Post Number 87 of the American Legion, Department of Allinois, has lately been called to the works, doings and practices of an_or- ganization styled as the ‘Ku Klux Klan’; and “Whereas, Judging from the numer- ous masked’ parades and night riding episodes that have recently occurred in certain sections of our country in which members of the Ku Klux Klan have openly and notoriously tarred and feathered and even lynched indi viduals and thus deprived them of life and liberty without due process of law, the Ku Klux Klan’s mission is one whose object is to promote the seliish interests and desires of a few narrow- ‘minded persons at the expense of all others; and “Whereas, The doing of such acts of violence—meteing punishment and torture to persons without regard to law—amounts to a usurpation of the judicial branch of our government and is the evidence of a so-called ‘Invisible Government,’ whose realm of activ- ities is over and above our present constituted law-enforcing authoritie and. whose targets for the expression of its ppoceition, enmity, and violence are Catholics, Jews, and Negroes, and thus directly’ antagonistic to a larg group of patriotic American citizens; and “Whereas, Such an ‘Invisible Gov: ernment,’ with such a program of ac- fon and such “afield of operation which in itself connotes social an¢ class distinction, is subversive of the principles of liberty and democrac upon which the very foundation of ou government rests; and “Whereas, The American Legion i an organization founded not to usury the powers of our government, bu rather to uphold the Constitution anc to oppose all institutions, organiza tions and movements that have a their object the usurpation of the pow ers of our government and the exercis ing of might to the exclusion of righ and the engendering of class anc racial hatred and prejudices; there fore, be it “Resolved, That the State Conven tion of the American Legion, Depart ment of Illinois, convening at Decatur Illinois, October 10-11, 1921, go or record ‘as being opposed to ‘the Kt Klux Klan organization and as con demning and holding up to public rid jeule each and every act of violenc and lawlessness perpetrated by th said Klan; and be it further “Resolved, That the duly elected of ficers of the Illinois State Departmen of the American Legion be instructec to use_all the power of their respec tive offices to bring the Congress o the United States to the realization 0 the need of immediate Congressiona ee into the affairs and rec cords of the Ku Klux Klan.” HOWARD SCHOOL OF LAW RAISES STANDARD WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 15.— The Howard University Law School began its first year under ‘Dean Ma- son N, Richardson, who was elected last sprog upon the resignation of the late Dean Benjamin F, Leighton, with the formal opening Saturday night, October 1, at which time announce: ment was made of the enlarged pro- gram of instruction and the reising of standards looking to the placing of the Howard University Law School in rank with the great law colleges of America, At the opening, Dr. J. Stan- ley Durkee, President of the Univer- sity, addressed the body of students and the large number of Alumni of the Law School upon the subject of “Lite and Law.” “Work-Immortality Rather ‘Than Seif-Immortality” was the idiom of life which he urged upon, the stu- dents, He impressed upon them the possibilities of life manifesting its Breatness through work consummated ‘under the benign influence of law. Prof, Andrew Wilson, who presided in the place of Dean Richardson, who was absent due to illness, announced the enlarged program that would mark the work of the new school year, He invited attention to the additions to the faculty, the recastir g of the curriculum along lines approved by the Associa- tion of American Law Schools, and made special reference to the reorgan- ization of the Moot Court in which the work this year will be more im portant than it has ever been, Following the announcements by the acting Dean, the professors who were present offered in turn a brief word as to their special subjects. A feature thoroughly enjoyed was the rendition of two violin solos by Miss Clementine Hart, daughter of Prof. W. H. H. Hart of the faculty. * Many improvements have been made in the Law School, both in the raising of the standards of the school and of the physical structure of the building. The raising of the academic standards for admission calls for an accurate system of checking up the claims of applicants and of keeping their records after they have been allowed to regis- ter. No applicant can enter the School of Law now unless he can show a transcript of four years of accredited secondary work or its equivalent as measured in Carnegie units. In 1924, the requirement will be two years of standard collegiate training. | =" YOUR FUTURE Dy _ Hows <A amas ’ | ey p weve Success wee ij ey "Se s| A HEALTHY SCALP— io i fis LONG, WAVY HAIR—AND «J | A LOVELY COMPLEXION _ Learn the Madam C.

Term of Subveyipton (Payable tn advance} Ber" lar FP0; Sie” Monthe.- tna STAGE AND SCREEN Vaudeville and Movie Review. DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic "NIGHT HORSEMEN" At the State's Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, October 13-14-15. "The Picture I Have Been Waiting For!" Wm. Fox's. A Story of a Man Girl, Horse and Dog—A man whose anger is wilder than that of a wolf. A Melodrama of the West. A play with an original plot. Staged in locations never before shown in pictures, with scenic beauties that will actually amaze you. It portrays the difficulties and heart-breaking obstacles of the lawless West and what happened to a man and a girl. A story of life in which love conquers hate and six-shooters. The romance of a man who was not afraid to risk death in the interest of peace and understanding. "JOURNEY'S END" At the Vendom Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, October 13-14-15. Fate had played into his hands. The crash of falling timbers was still heard as Donald Regan rushed to the side of the prostrate form pinned beneath the wreckage. Swiftly he knelt by the still form. There was a rapid exchange of papers from pocket to pocket and then, pulling his battered far far down over his eyes, he slunk away. Thus was the stage set for the strangest climax ever unfolded upon the screen—a climax that will hold you tense and engrossed by its sheer dramatic intensity. "LURING LIPS" At the State's Theatre, Sunday, October 16. The stirring story of how a beautiful woman's wits and wiles lured a man to destruction. Can a woman's love be bought for $50,000? Her luring lips made fools of hardened Wall Street bankers. She toyed with fire.

ALL GOOD DEALERS CARRY THE "Black Swan Records" WESTERN REPRESENTATIVES PACE PHONOGRAPH CO. 3420 SOUTH STATE ST. CHICAGO, ILL. 6 "SMOOTH AS SILK" When "Smooth as Silk," the offering of the Durhan players at the Grand Theatre all next week, was presented at the Lexington Theatre in New York, the cast included the names of such Broadway favorites in drama as Willard Mack, its author; Marie Chambers, Mr. Mack's leading woman; Luis Alberni, Shirley Warde and others. In no time at all, the melodrama had become one of the sensations of the metropolis. As soon as it was released for stock presentation, Manager Johnson took steps to arrange for its presentation in this city and thus he is enabled to see a play that is yet being discussed with interest in New York. The weakness of too many so-called 'crook-plays' is that they depend entirely on the fact that they portray an unfamiliar side of life for their attraction. "Smooth as Silk" skillfully avoids this danger. It gives the background of this life accurately, but it contains the human, gripping, heart interest that brings a tear to the eyes and a catch in the throat. It shows that, after all, these warrens of the world outside the law have hearts, hatreds and other emotions the same as the people who have the sense to live their lives so that the safety of society is preserved. Therefore, fascinating as the underworld side of the play is, and there is no denying that this is a fact, it is the intensely human love story of "Smooth As Silk," and its totally unexpected conclusion, that forms the great motif of the play. In the conception and execution of this wonderful idea, Willard Mack has written a play that will live for years. "Silk," "Taxi Jimmie," "Big Frank Powers" and all of the others are intensely interesting, but it is really the girl "Nellie" and her love story with "Silk" that forms the big, touching element of the play. Through it all, Mr. Mack has woven a persistent vein of the most delightful comedy imaginable, thus forming a perfectly balanced evening's entertainment.

" No. 2015, by on, whose Con- ses all others in ost loved song of --- MUSIC By Mildred Bryant-Jones The choice of suitable songs for various occasions is of the greatest importance. Hasty and unwise choice of song material often causes disorder and lack of enjoyment, when order, enjoyment and real benefit would be determined in the selection of the material. For use in sick rooms, it is necessary that songs of a charming character, with interesting text and an attractive melody be chosen. It does not follow that they must be sung in a rapid tempo or loudly, but there must be nothing in either word or tune that could possibly bring to their patient thoughts of a sad and depressing nature. For large groups of untrained voices, such as are found in the community work, it is well to choose songs with pleasing rhythms a flowing melody and a text that is interesting in thought and easy in work construction. To a great extent it is well to use past songs for such work. Trashy songs should, of course, be excluded entirely from all song study and attention given only to compositions that are well worth being retained in the memory. On Saturday morning, October 8th, at the request of Supt. Morteson of the Chicago Public Schools, the Wendell Phillips High School Orchestra of thirty-three pieces was presented by the writer in Fullerton Hall, at the Art Institute. The audience consisted of superintendents, high and elementary school principals. The work of the orchestra was praised highly. Madame Anita Patti Brown, soprano, and her accompanist, Miss Doxsy, will soon be entour, giving a long list of recitals in various cities. SPECIAL SALE!

Sunday was a great day for the Second Baptist Church. It was the return of Rev. B. L. Rose after a three weeks' vacation in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he preached at three of the largest Bantist churches at the city. People were turned away from the two of the churches where Rev. Rose preached. He also preached at the church that he organized seventeen years ago, beginning with a membership of seven members and ending his pastorate with a membership of 7,000. Many valuable presents were given to Rev. Rose by his old church, and standing room only was available for the many who wanted to hear their old pastor. Rev. Rose returned to La Grange after a very refreshing visit. Rev. Bro. Corill took charge of the church while Rev. Rose was in Pittsburgh.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. What of the Minorities What of the Minorities From everywhere the cry of "get together" has been sounded; from nowhere has the cry been heeded. "Organize the black folk" has been the slogan and only pitiable, pathetic efforts have resulted. Strong and mighty spirits have leaped into the midst of the great confusion and have attempted to clear up the Babylonian disorders, but to no avail. The laws of civilization and evolution prevent success. The great majority of black people cannot be marshalled and intelligently controlled until the educated and enlightened minorities are organized and united. Organized minorities control the world, and organized minorities will control until the capitalistic system of government is overturned. The black people cannot escape this inexorable law. When men lived by "direct appropriation" and gathered their food from trees and streams and straight away conveyed it to their mouths the fathers of the families got together and formed their family groups. The "group spirit" began there and has seeped down the ages until the present day. Organized groups control the money of the world. A handful of millionaires hold all the wealth accumulated from the bowels of fertile America in the palms of their hands. A handful of commandeers control the armies and navies of the world. A handful of politicians make the presidents of republics and fashion the mandates for the people. A handful of policemen protect the teeming millions from the savage propensities of thieves and murderers. In the times of riot and rebellion organized hundreds hold thousands of bedraggled and disordered maniacs at bay. The organized minorities repel the brute instincts of mankind and give the human proclivities a chance to function. It is strikingly prominent and notoriously true that the black people have no organized minorities. The black people have entirely too many schools of thought and too many men who seek to mount the crest during the time of storm and disaster. The black people have not evolved far enough in the graduated scale of evolution to afford so many different sponsors of liberation and freedom, each of whom swearing and avowing that he is the great apostle and after him the deluge. Suppose Mr. Dubois, advocating higher education and social freedom, and Major Moton, advocating industrial education and passive submission, with Marcus Garvey preaching the redemption of Africa, and the creation of essential industries, could be merged together? Suppose our ecclesiastical heads of the Methodist and Baptist Churches could be cemented in a higher council with Dubois, Moton and Garvey? Perhaps let us call in the politicians of rank, which respect for manliness and good citizenship prevents us from naming, and let all of these gentlemen be organized upon a common platform for the salvation of the race. The foundation for racial solidarity would be lain, but as it is now we have no organization of leaders, no organized minorities who can direct the course of the floundering ship of the black sojourners as it tosses fitfully upon the seas of "outrageous fortune." We have no supreme inner-circle as the other great people have. We have no Lenines and Trotskys working together in perfect unison. We have no cabinets or sanctuaries in which to deliberate upon the issues of the day. We have one wing meeting in London, the ecumenical conference, another in Paris, the Pan-African Congress, and another in New York—the International Convention of Negroes. These scattered and unfocused efforts came at a time when the greatest attempt in the history of the world in secret organization and disaster was launched—the Ku Klux Klan. We need not advise the minorities to organize. External opposition from Caucasian sources will force them, and evolution, never changing in its course, will compel them. It does appear, however, that intelligence and sound thinking could accelerate it a bit and throw the minorities together. Golden Voiced Bunk Heavers Golden Voiced Bunk Heavers They pass on and they never come back—those golden voiced ignoramuses who used to spell bind the poor benighted black people. They used to moan and shout from the highways and the hedges, they told about "bleeding moons and blazing stars", they spoke of the beauties of the day and the wonders of the night. They murdered the English of the King and slaughtered the beautiful phraseology of religious authors. Time has cut them down and they have been slain upon the high places. They have passed on, those great limelighters who never had a real thought or a constructive idea. People now a days want to think. They want the truth. Great universities no longer praise and pamper the classics, the fundamental sciences of life are taught and the black people are seeking to learn. So the "orators" with high sounding phrases and very low thinking faculties have been relegated to the past and the memories left do not burn. THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith (1) General hygiene is the greatest importance and the disease is especially noticeable in crowded tenement districts of large cities. (2) It may occur in breast fed babies whose mother's milk is deficient in fat and proteids. (3) The disease also seems to occur when the food is not properly adapted to the special age, and the later children of large families are more apt to contract the disease than the earlier ones. (4) Babies fed on excessive diet may develop rachitis; especially overeating carbohydrates. (5) Recent investigators have shown that the disease is due to lack of calcium salts, so, therefore, many rachitic children have shown great improvement by giving calcium salts. (6) It is certain, however, that interference with nutrition by improper food and lack of suitable hygienic surroundings play a prominent role in its production. The treatment of rachitis is essentially dietetic and hygienic. The infants should be kept in the open air as much as possible, and should live in room accessible to sunlight. The food should be adapted to the age, according to the rules given for feeding of normal infants during the first two years of life. Milk, cream, eggs, meats and cod liver oil should be freely given within the limits of child's digestion. Of the various drugs used phosphorus, thymus glands and suprarenal glands are beneficial. Orange juice is also helpful, especially if there is any tendency towards scurvy or pain. quarter and have entered not knowing how they are to ggt through. As Howard University is partly supported by the United States Government the raise in prices at this time is not only uncalled for, but most unfortunate. The high cost of education and board will retard the race at a crisis in its history and the high financeers at Howard University are blamed for the unrest and discontent on the hill in all the departments. The increased salaries of the president and certain other officials and an effort to put through a manual training course is blamed. There seems to be a wide-spread conspiracy to keep the Negro from getting a professional and university education. The big educational trusts are molding and directing education in the country, but they propose some kind for the white man and a different kind for the Negro. The Carnegie Foundation in a book on law as a public profession and upon medicine as a profession recommend that only graduate of accredited colleges be admitted to the study of law and medicine; only four colored colleges are accredited, so hundreds of the colored youth who can enter the study of these two professions now will be denied the right if the educational trust has its way. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Eoils. So much profit can be made out of the illegal manufacture and sale of liquor that stern competition has arisen between the "Bootleggers." It is indeed an infringement upon good citizenship to allow profit to be made out of the law. The Volstead Amendment is as big a joke as the thirteenth and fourteenth and it simply shows that the rule works both ways and the law of compensation is inevitable. The mandates of the Constitutions are not respected in America and the reason can be easily traced back to the race problem. The Ku Klux Klan recently invaded a church and declared themselves good Christians. If Christianity can be found in the "invisible empire" of the K. K. K., then Christianity has failed sadly. The regrettable feature is that the White ministry has been noncommittal upon this issue and seem to favor it, as they have all of the crimes of the southland. White Christianity has been perverted and twisted so much that it is scarcely distinguishable from heathenism. Since the Whip published the Committee of Five's revelation of conditions in Chicago's high society, several of our contemporaries have taken sly and easy jabs at the paper. Some have vehemently declared themselves against scandal peddling. One good Editor writes that when the atrocities of Stillman and Arbuckle were brought into court that then they should be exposed, but that he was opposed to exposing things which the public were unaware of; in other words, the good Editor is full of Spartan philosophy—you can do wrong but you mustn't get caught. The Chicago Whip has heard many whimper and whine when nothing had been even directed at them. A guilty conscience is a terrible thing and social remorse is one of the greatest of human punishments. Let our contemporaries continue to suppress the news and serve up rehashed trash and the public will make a decision which they will regret. Poor Old Roscoe Simmons, the forsaken and forgotten, is still tooting his rusty trumpet. It is hard for some men to know when they are through. If Roscoe would dream some more dreams about "his pillow of tears and the sleep of the black boy" he would be happier. He is still popular with those who enjoy a good joke. Roscoe is comical and cuts many clown-like capers upon the rostrum. Rachitis (Rickets) During this summer when mothers were taking their babies to the various hospitals and dispensaries, and babies were put on show at the various places during baby week, a Chicago baby specialist claimed that every Negro baby in the city of Chicago had rickets. Rachitis is a disease closely connected with poor nutrition occurring, usually, in infancy, rarely in early childhood. It is chronic in its places during baby week, a Chicago baby specialist claimed that every Negro baby in the city of Chicago had rickets. Rachitis is a disease closely connected with poor nutrition occurring, usually, in infancy, rarely in early childhood. It is chronic in its course, and al DR. TROY SMITH though its chief lesions are in the bones, it involves all the tissues and organs of the body. While I do not agree in total with this specialist's above statement concerning Negro babies in the city of Chicago, still there is considerable grounds for the assertion. It cannot be denied that Rachitis is more prevalent among Negroes and Italian babies than among the white Americans; also it is more common among the Negro population in Northern cities than it is among the Negro population in Southern cities. Just as to the "why" of the above assertions I do not know, and just as to the exact cause of Rachitis, no one knows, but there are certain points about the disease and its prevention all should know. Editor, Chicago Whip: Some time ago you published a strong editorial pertaining to the seeming conspiracy among educational institutions to keep Negro students from getting through the great universities of the North. How much Hein in regard to the situation at Howard University of which you may not be aware: The president and present administration at Howard University have increased the cost of all courses from 50 to 100 per cent in the last year; cost of board and education have also been greatly increased. The preparatory college course was cut out of the curriculum to the detriment of the race because it lessens the number of students who are eligible to enter colleges and professional courses. College courses which cost about $40.00 last year will cost $75.00 to $80.00 this year. The cost of the law course has been increased from $50.00 to $100.00 this year. Courses in music, business and science have likewise increased. This in addition to present employment and financial conditions have put unnecessary hardship on students. Many hundreds of worthy boys and girls have not been able to make enough money during the summer to pay tuition, room and board themselves and who are unable to get work in Washington. Many have just enough to pay for the first Treatment Howardite. BOND 8% INTEREST SATE SECURE SOUND BUSINESS w.
