ANTI-LYNCHING BILL PASSED BY HOUSE ACTOR SLAIN AT STAGE DOOR PRICE 5 CENTS VL. IV.—No. 5 ACTOR ANTI-LYNCH BILL PASSES LOWER HOUSE Ten Year Fight To End When Measure Passes Senate WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—At 3:30 o'clock on January 26, 1922, after eleven years of effort by the N. A. A. C. P., and by other bodies, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was enacted by the House of Representatives in Washington, by a vote of 230 to 119 Congress has issued a message to the mobber and the lyncher which no longer has the right to step behind him toward ending what has been the shame of our country for the last tittle years. Punishes Lynching "The bill as passed by the House of Representatives is called 'A bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching. It defines a 'mob or riotous assemblage' as three or more persons acting in concert to deprive any person of his life, without authority of law, or punishment for some crime, or to prevent commission of some actual or supposed public offense. "The Dyer bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 11, 1921, and was favorably reported by the committee on the judiciary on October 20, 1921. It was made the subject of a special rule, which was passed by a two-thirds vote of the House. General debate on the bill was begun on the reconvening of Congress in January of 1922, fourteen hours of debate being assigned to it. In G. O. P. Platform "The efforts of the N. A. A. C. P. to have this bill enacted were begun when Mr. Harding was elected President, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. repeatedly called on the President and prevailed upon him to introduce in his message to Congress a plea that the stain of barbic lynching he wiped from theanners of American democracy. Mr. Johnson was instrumental in having inserted in the Republican National platform a pledge that lynching would be dealt with. "At every step during the progress of the bill, Mr. Johnson was in closest conference with the leaders in the House of Representatives. Often leaders stepped off the floor of the House of Representatives to consult with Mr. Johnson on tactics to be pursued or on arguments to be advanced. The statistics prepared by the N. A. A. C. P. were quoted on the floor of the House of Representatives and were read into the Congressional Record for distribution throughout the United States. "One of the most effective steps taken by the Advancement Association was the organizing of sentiment throughout the United States among voters, both white and colored, towards demonstrating to Congress the desire for enactment of anti-lynching legislation. This was done through the association's four hundred branches, through churches, clubs, iraternal organizations and other bodies. The effectiveness of this work is demonstrated by the repeated charges made on the floor of the House of Representatives by Southern members that the Dyer bill was not the bill of the Republican Party, but was being forced through the House by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Abstract of the Dyer Bill After committee amendments the Dyer bill, carries the following provisions: Section 1. Mob is defined as five or more persons acting in concert to kill, without lawful authority, as a punishment or an attempt to prevent some offense. Section 2. Any state or division thereof neglecting or refusing to protect any person against a mob is considered to have denied that person the equal protection of the law. To guarantee this protection it is provided: Section 3. Any officer with power or duty to protect, or having in charge a prisoner, who fails to protect or to try reasonably to protect such a prisoner on any officer neglecting to arrest and prosecute any person participating in a mob or to make reasonable efforts to do so, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable in the Federal District (Continued on page 2.) The Chicago Whip 35th Street Is Made Into "White Way" It was through the activeness of the Chicago Whip staff that 35th Street from State to Grand Boulevard has been made a white way, as overhead electric lights will brighten up the business paths and make it look like day. A few weeks ago it was noticed by some of the Whip officials that Halstead Street and Milwaukee Avenue were all lighted up like the Statue of Liberty. The officials immediately started a canvass among the south side business men and secured their interest in making a lighting improvement in their business district. The idea was seized upon by a neighborhood improvement association and the result is the string of electric lights along the central business street of the district. Also Forced Ku Klux Resolution. It was this same wide awake spirit on the part of the Whip which caused the city council to pass the famous Anti-Ku-Klux resolution. The editor framed the resolution and presented it to the alderman of the second ward, Major R. R. Jackson, and the alderman introduced the measure and it was unanimously passed. The Whip does things for its people. Orchestra Is Followed By Unkind Fate Orchestra Is Followed By Unkind Fate LONDON. Feb. 4. — Mope Desmond an American musician, formerly the big hit of the Southern Syncopated Orchestra and lately the pianist at Murray's famous London Night Club, was killed in a peculiar railway accident last night. Two express trains were passing each other at Blisworth when the footplate of the north bound engine became detached, broke off, rebounded from the rails and got caught between the two trains. It ripped to splinters the first coaches of both. A large splinter entered Desmond's side, killing him and three other. Morfortune has followed the Southern Syncopated Orchestra. The members were on board the Laird liner Rowan last October when it was rammed and sunk by an American vessel in the Irish sea. Several were drowned.

Note Bares Boy's Plan For Suicide AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Leaving a note indicating that he intended to commit suicide, Claude Meadows, a young boy, threw himself in front of a street car here last Saturday, and was ground to death.

Williams By G. R. Wilson, A.B.B.D. On January 27, Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, spoke in the Divinity Chapel of the University of Chicago. His manner was conscientious and sincere. The hearers followed him with intense interest, not only because it was a novelty to have a Negro speak in the University Chapel, but also because of the message he brought. The significance about the message was that it presented Olivet Baptist Church not as a shell, a mere organization, a house, but as a living and working organism among our people, a people with living and struggling souls. It presented Olivet as a church with the task of saving the souls of all men from fear, oppression, both mental, economic and political, by taking hold of the problems that have to do with persons. After giving a brief sketch of the growth of the church, its organization and purpose—that purpose to preach Jesus Christ and to administer to the physical and spiritual needs of men—Dr. Williams did the unique thing. He showed just how people responded to the influence of the church. He showed the influence of the church on the various phases of the life of the community, for example, on politics, on housing, on family life, and above all, on the person himself: how men actually found salvation through the church; how God is brought to men and how men are lifted to God. Then when he came to the conclusion, the hearers, men and women, students and teachers, bent forward to catch the significance of his words. He said that the church must do something more than administer to the physical needs of men, but a church must have a message. In its message the church must express itself and told that a church must believe in itself and God. He said that Olivet believes in both; that Olivet has morale. Then he closed with a prayer that God may give us a thirst for Him and power to find Him, that He may unite our hearts and hands in service of God and man. This speech, for purpose of enlightenment to those who expect to serve, was a contribution of social-psychological thought. It showed what is required if a church is to succeed; that is, the church must live and work among the people, yet keeping itself pure by having the spirit of the New Testament, the Spirit of Christ. From the presentation, people could see the numbers of the church, the problems of the community, and of the world, which grow out of human contacts. The hearers could see the wishes of the Negro Race in its true relations to other races. They could see what the Negroes want and need, and what a man like Dr. Williams, a true (Continued on Page 3) Boddy, N. Y. Cop Killer, Is Guilty NEW YORK CITY, Fe. 4.—Luther Boddy, who killed two New York policemen and fled into New Jersey after a thrilling escape, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury late Monday. He is to be sentenced Friday. Boddy's spectacular escape thrilled the East. He is said to have denied a woman's clothing and commanded a taxicab, forcing the driver to take him to his destination. He was captured in Philadelphia by a magistrate. De Priest In Confab With President On last Wednesday, former Alderman Oscar De Priest, in company with other political leaders, called upon President Harding at which time he had occasion to voice the protest of the black man, asking rankly that more consideration be given to the black electorate which was instrumental in his election. He also took up with the President the matter of appointment of black men to office and received certain assurances, the outcome of which the near future will reveal. Has Long Interview with Chairman Adams. After paying his respects to the President, De Priest then called upon Mr. Adams, chairman of the National Republican Committee. His frank demands and arguments in this interview are still the talk of all Washington, and it is generally conceded that no black political leader ever spoke so frankly or ever out the black man's demands so frandy. Line Johnson would have pussyfooted but De Priest would not allow it and for once te National Committee has an idea just how the black man feels towards Harding and the Republican Party. De Priest received the congratulations of all of those leaders who would haveliked to have said the same thing but could not for fear that their chances in appointment might be lost. De Priest returned to Chicago last Friday. SOCIAL EQUALITY IS FUNNY TO LIBERIANS SOCIAL EQUALITY IS FUNNY TO LIBERIANS MONROVIA LIBERIA, W.

GED THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM Slayers Use Axe Upon Aged Man Police of the Cottage Grove Avenue station are scouring the South Side seeking the murderers of William Winship, 78 years of age, who was murdered Saturday in the second-hand furniture store he operated at 2712 State street.

Rod the b no d ches also der, arm of the --- IS CUT TO DEATH BY STAGE HAND Eddie Robinson, an actor well known in the theatrical circles, was literally cut into ribbons at the stage door of the Grand Theatre, 31st and State Sts., Monday afternoon when he sought admittance to the theatre. He died almost immediately. Robinson's slayer, William Stroutmeyer, a stage hand at the theatre, escaped after the slaying, but was captured four hours later by Policemen Reilly and Holmes. Cause in Mystery The actual cause of the slaying is shrouded in mystery, as there were no eye witnesses to the cutting. In his confession Stroutmeyer claimed that he had instructions to allow no one to enter the theatre, and when he refused admittance to Robinson, the actor struck at him, and he defended himself with a knife. Police authorities hardly think it probable, however, that he would have attacked Robinson so violently under these circumstances. Had Appointment Friends of the slain man stated after the killing that Robinson had an appointment with George Taylor, stage manager of "Africanna," a musical production now playing at the Grand Theatre, and that he appeared at the theatre to keep the appointment. His attempts to keep the appointment resulted in his death, they say. Robinson was frightfully cut about the head and shoulders. Death was no doubt caused by a wound in the chest just above the heart. He was also stabbed beneath the left shoulder, below the left ear, on the left arm and hand. One of the members of the John Mason Dixie Beach Co. with whom Robinson had formerly played, stated that after stabbing Robinson, Stroutmeyer attempted to stand his limp body against the wall in the alley. Failing to accomplish this, he rushed upstairs with the body to the office of Dr. Allen A. Wesley. 3201 State St. Robinson had ceased to breathe, it is said, and the doctor would not allow the body to be brought into his office. This statement could not be corroborated as the doctor did not appear at the inquest at Jackson's Undertaking establishment Tuesday. The inquest was continued to Jan. 10. Robinson had been a member of John Mason's Dixie Beach Co., which played at the Monogram Theatre last week. He was 19 years of age, and was living at the Columbia Theatre. 31st and State Sts. His mother is said to reside at 903 Market St. Columbia, S. C. An argument over 10 cents resulted in the killing Saturday of John Hall, 27, 4955 Federal Street. Hall engaged in an argument with Will Pollard in the 49th block on Dearborn Street. When the argument became heated, Pollard drew a pocket knife and stabbed Hall, the blade going into his heart. Rollie Marshall, who was with Pollard, became involved in the fracas and was also arrested. At the coroner's inquest held Monday, Pollard was held to the grand jury on a charge of murder, and Marshall was held as an accessory.

Announcement that the fugitive might remain in Canada was made by Charles Stewart, minister of the interior and immigration. After a cabinet meeting Mr. Stewart said Bullock would be freed at once by the immigration authorities at Hamilton, Ontario, where he had been confined pending decision of the case. After listening to Mr. Stewart's analysis of the legal points involved, the cabinet council ruled in Bullock's favor, basing its decision on the fact that he had proved himself an exemplary citizens of Ontario, even though he may have evaded the immigration laws in coming into the country. It is not known here whether the North Carolina authorities plan to begin negotiations through the American State Department for Bullock's extradition. Charged with Rioting Matthew Bullock is charged by the Warren County authorities for inciting a riot in North Carolina in January, 1920, in which two white men were severely wounded, and as a direct result of which Matthew Bullock's brother, and Alfred Williams arrested for attack upon the white men, were taken from the Warren County jail and lynched. Matthew Bullock, immediately after the shooting, escaped to Canada, it is charged, and there he was located several weeks ago. Governor Morrison, upon request of the Warren County authorities, called upon the State Department at Washington for proper papers to secure the return of Bullock from Canada. At the same time, Governor Morrison gave his assurance that Bullock be safe and would be given a fair trial in North Carolina. COP KILLS BANDIT WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.

KEAN Calumet 250 Frank Walsh, Famous Irishman, Calls Haiti Another Belgium Exonerates Girl Woman Falls On Who Shot Him Red Hot Stove 2009 Michigan Avenue --- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public extracts from an article appearing in the Nation on January 27, and written by Frank P. Walsh, one of the foremost Irish-Americans in the country, Mr. Walsh urges all Irishmen and all Americans to see it that the "Imperial United States Forces" be made to evacuate the republics of Haiti and Santo Domingo. Mr. Walsh specifically accuses the Committee of Senators of adding another whitewash to those already covering the American occupation of Haiti. Mr. Walsh says: "The American Foreign Office is in Wall Street. At the instigation of the National City Bank, eager to exploit, and with the connivance of the Imperial General Staff clique, determined to dominate, armed forces of the United States invaded two Caribbean republics, conquered them, and now hold them by the brute sanctions of martial law. "Martial law has for six years held these tiny republics in its iron bondage. Journalists, protesting in the name of our own immortal principles, the crime against their country, have been "tried" by court martial and thrown into jail at hard labor. Those patriots who took to the hills with inadequate weapons and tried to cope with the Imperial United States" Forces were ruthlessly exterminated. And yet the insolent American imperialist tells us that the Occupation is designed to "help" Dominicans and Haitians who in turn love their military masters; and that were it not for a small band of agitators the love would be unanimous. Asked whether martial law could be lifted from the "simple, kindly, gentle, and generous" people, as Senator McCormick calls them in his preliminary report, these Senators answer, echoing the military men. "By no means, there would be Exonerates Girl Who Shot Him W Police of the 48th Street station brought in Carl Leary, 32, 4926 Federal Street, and Viola Booker, 4736 State Street. Wednesday night.

How completely this proves the mutual devotion of Haitians and Dominicans and their armed custodians" Delegate to Hague Denounces Invasion The Association made public a statement by M. Pierre Hudicourt Haiti's delegate to the Second Hague Conference and former head of the bar association in Haiti's capital city Port au Prince. M. Hudicourt, who is in New York on his way to Washington to make additional protest to the United States Senate against American occupation of his country, made the following statement: "In my capacity as Haitian delegate to the second conference at the Hague, where I signed all the conventions there adopted, I am obliged to protest against the bad faith of the American government which, under pressure of financiers and business men decided to invade Haitian territory and to destroy our national independence. Our independence, like that of America, was conquered at the price of our best blood and the greatest sacrifices. My hope is to move the American people as profoundly as possible to decide their government to accomplish the only possible act of justice to Haiti, which is to retire from the invaded territory. "I consider as odious hypocrisy the pretexts of humanity and interest in the Haitian people invoked by the United States government in perpetrating upon Haiti a reign of terror and extortion, continued since 1915. The treaty of 1915 cannot be invoked against Haiti as a basis for the American regime for it was imposed on the country as a result of hypocritical deceit and acts of violence. If an individual had done to another's hurt what the United States government has done to the Haitian people, the only punishment adequate would be life imprisonment or the scaffold."

Believing that you are weekly in touch gardless of individual views, therefore suggest that you give us a public report of just how public opinion is running with regard to the heralded presentation of "Martha" at the Auditorium upon Washington's birthday next. Believing that you are weekly in touch with people whose club and many friends will consider your opinion as honest. Thanking you in advance, etc. MISS E..... OPEN LETTER TO MISS E..... AND CLUB. Miss E_____ Club and Friends: First, we must thank you for even considering our own opinion of "the opinions that count." Modesty makes us blush pink. We must say, however, that facts should be considered, over and above mere opinions, in this matter. Mr. Jas. A. Mundy, like others, is delivering what he told the public that he had. It must have been just what they ordered, why did they pack the house BOTH nights? We were absent on previous presentation. BUT WILL BE THERE upon Washington's birthday, and offer a review afterward. Now, it does appear that SOME of the directors, of long training, and who retain the public esteem of the race, should be able to present the cast properly, and to direct the performance. The staking should be easy—as a stage director's scenic artists and "prop" men are to be had readily. Wardrobes are at one's elbows. Therefore, the matter directly under discussion, is the director and the cast. When Professor Pedro Tmsley, pioneer conductor in Chicago's big music, passed away, the next senior male conductor is James A. Mundy—an old (in music) young man (Not a paradox, either.) Many singers, from other large church choirs in Chicago, have for a decade associated with him in and out of Chicago. Many large photos in his studio prove that. Three times appearing in the Loop, he was successful, financially, and in securing daily press comment. Now, Chicago ALWAYS gets something for its money. And Chicago public never gives praise for that which does not carn every bit of it. So, so much for that! So, when the Chicago South Side Company, announces such well known names as: Nellie Dobson, Ruthenia Matson, Dr. J. A. Offord, H. B. Mills, Cleo Mae Dickerson and others, why it appears to be a safe wager, that Mundy and the opera are going over strong. Many of the "high ups" say so, and that they are going down to see. Bethel always does. The Loop patrons turn out in masses. So, if you will accept, instead of an opinion, these facts, why, after the performance February 22nd, we shall attempt a review. Trusting this to be a fair petition for your approval, we beg to remain, Walter A. Ellis. Club and Literary Editor, Chicago Whip. Atlanta Divine Passes Away ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4—Rev. M. T. Flournoy, pastor of Turner Monumental A. M. E. Church, for more than four years, died at his residence, 145 Howell Street, Saturday morning. He had served as pastor in the state for more than twenty years. He was a graduate of the theological department of Morris Brown University, and had served as secretary of the Atlanta Minister's Union and the Atlanta district conference. His funeral was held Monday, at 2:30 o'clock, in the Turner Monumental A. M. E. Church. The body lay in state for one and a half hours. Jumps From Second Story Mrs. Mattie Williams, 21, 245 E. 32nd St., jumped from a second story window at her home Sunday when an alarm of fire was turned in. She was injured internally and is thought to have fractured a rib. By Walter A. Ellis By Walter A. Ellis The Great Metropolitan Community Sunday Evening Club with Reverend W. D. Cook, Director, H. A. Watkins, Ch. Program and Prof. J. Wesley Jones, Director of Music, presented to 2,000 people Sunday evening, the Honorable Patrick O'Donnell, in address upon the occasion of the memorial to Ex- President William McKinley. The address was the best that any one ever heard Mr. O'Donnell deliver. In the Walter A. Ellis midst of it he was interrupted by applause and at the close many persons arrose and shook his hand. Sandy W Trice, Vice Director, was Master of the ceremonies. The oration: Wm McKinley, by Mr. Edward M. Byrd, was delivered with force and was received. The quartet (Treble Clet) by Priscilla Mayo, Edith Woods, Dora Porter and Magnolia N. Lewis, went over strong in three encores. Only one ladies' quartet in Chicago can equal this one—it is that of the Different Kind of Program Company, which is to appear at Michigan Avenue Church, February 6th at 8 P. M. Better come and see for yourself Professor Jones carefully directed the large choir to success then turned as usual and directed the Community singing by the audience. The wonderfully musical, vodil and financial success on Saturday evening was planned by Prof. Jones. Dr. Cook replied to Hon. P. O'Donnell in his own eloquent style. The Institutional Choir with Miss Magnolia Lewis, Director, presented "high up" numbers Sunday morning. Miss Lewis lead the Spiritual number with her powerful contralto tones. The song service was an apt spiritual accompaniment to the great sermon by the pastor, Rev. Johnson. Dr. R. C. Giles' Orchestra furnished numbers which were truly good. All Chicago is talking about the Bethel Church Choir. It appears that since their advent in "Martha," the director of the choir who is the general director of the opera "Martha." Prof. Jas. A. Mundy is by constant rehearsals and expert knowledge of music, now pulling the organization very near perfection. Every solo quartette and the choruses plainly show the result of intensive training by the director. We were agreeably surprised Sunday morning by the display of big talent. Many singers from Five Choirs will appear at 8 o'clock, February 6, in the All-Star Program of the Different K-0-Program at the Michigan Avenue Church at 3947 Michigan Avenue. The Poses and the Mock Trial alone is worth an evening of entertainment. Miss Eleanor Monan Gaines, Madame Blanche Dorsey Peyton, and Madames Wyatt and Starky are Soloists. The delicious duet by Mesdames H. Daniels and Mrs. Jackson of Pilgrim Temple Choir (Director Proof J. A. Lillard), would be a distinct feature. YET Madame Della R. Brown says: "Your ladies quartette is one of the best in the Country." Professor J. A. Taylor is in charge of the Music. To see little Ruth French, directed by her mother, in 16 poses is to love her. Genva Jones and Thelma Dorsey as well as Neota McCurdy can do anything to a piano that harmony and technique demands. Come and See! Mrs. Estelle Howlette in obligate "Inflammatus" has no superior in Chicago. The Whip will present the chorus in open contest with any. This last remark, above, GOES!! Six engagements are waiting. The St. Mark's Lyceum by the alertness and discretion of the wide awake president, Miss A. C. Mason, and Miss Ruth Allen, were successful in presenting one of the best programs of the day - Sunday afternoon. Grace will have to come back strong Sunday to equal St Marks for the month. Attorney Henry W. Hammond in "Emphasis" was concise, logical and instructive. Miss Carrie South and Miss Covington and (name lost) were "high up" in solo numbers. Many distinguished guests were present in time to hear the eloquent response to the speaker by Rev. M. E. Robinson, Pastor.

Walker System of Beauty Culture and sell her 18 Superfine Preparations and a prosperous future SHIMMY ARTIST MAY TAKE APPEAL FROM JUDGE'S DECISION Jass music and shimming were outlawed Saturday in the Morals Court by Judge Arnold Heap when he fined Miss Julia Rector $200 for presenting her interpretation of modern dancing in the Entertainers' Cafe. The case involved nation-wide attention and was eagerly awaited by reformers and social workers. Holds Jazz Music Obscene "You can do anything while listening to jazz music," the judge said. "The jazz is no dance music. There is no grace or beauty in jazz. You do not find the activity, the physical and mental exhilaration of the dance as manifested by our fathers and mothers where real music was produced by which to dance. "This case smacks of the barbariism of the jungle. The very music was obscene. The evil genius of this place has artfully combined the grossness of primitive sensuality with the gilded refinement of modern licentiousness. "The shimmyite and the muscle dancer must go." Judge Heap pointed out that the testimony showed from 200 to 400 couples danced on a floor 400 feet square. Morals of Nation Periled "The floor was always crowded," the judge said. "This left a maximum of one person to every square foot of dance floor. They couldn't do anything that even pretended to be dancing. The music played wasn't dance music. The jazz orchestra blared and clanged its tones, but that isn't intended to be dance music." Turning to the effect of such places on the morals of youths, Judge Heap said. "Socrates was forced to drink hemlock because of trumped up charges that he corrupted the youth of the city. Such importance did the Athenians place on the virtue of their young men. "If such entertainments are tolerated it means the debaucling of society, the corruption of the community, and the destruction of the moral stamina of the nation." It has been announced that Miss Rector may take an appeal from the decision of Judge Heap and fight the case in higher courts. Since the decision was handed down many musical authorities are said to have rallied to the defense of jazz music, claiming that any sort of music in itself is immoral.

The meeting was held under the auspices of the Commission on Medical Education for Negroes. Sixty persons, some of national prominence, were in attendance at the sessions, which were held at Mehary Medical College; Dr. Green of the National Medical Association presiding. Among the speakers were President Hope of Moorehouse College Dean Johnson of Lincoln University President Durkee of Howard, President McKenzie of Fiske, and Dr Claxton, former United States Commissioner of Education. The latter urged the same standards of education for both Negro and white colleges and emphasized the fact that the elementary and secondary work must also be improved. The body in its resolutions adopted the standard list of colleges as determined by the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and urged a re-classification of all Southern schools with a view of setting higher standards.

For Other Advantages That Our Members Receive Chicago Musical Exchange 59 EAST VAN BUREN PHONE WABASH 5927 South Side Representative: 3420 S. State St. Phone Victory 4606 LONDON, Feb. 4.—The basis on which the British government would be willing to terminate the Egyptian protectorate, recognizing Egypt as a sovereign state, and to agree to the establishment of an Egyptian Parliament, is announced in a statement officially circulated tonight by the Foreign Office. "The high commissioner in Egypt," says the statement, "has been summoned to England to give full information and advice to his majesty's government as to the present situation in Egypt and as to the communications that have been passing between him and the former Egyptian minister with regard to the future government of the country. "There appears to be an impression in some quarters that Great Britain has abandoned or is about to abandon her liberal attitude toward Egyptian her special position in Egypt to maintain a political and administrative system there incompatible with the freedom which she has declared her willingness to recognize. "This is not the case. The policy of his majesty's government, both during and since the Adly mission to England, has been founded upon the following principles: Guarantees Needed. "While unwilling to cede to disorder or violence what they were prepared to grant on its own merits, his majesty's government have explicitly stated their reason to invite Parliament to NO SEGREGATION NOW IN CAPITOL RESTAURANT NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 4.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has made public a letter from Representative Martin Ansorge of New York, which states definitely that there will be no exclusion of colored dinners from the restaurant of the House of Representatives in Washington. Representative Ansorge's letter which is addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. Po. is as follows: "Dear Mr. Johnson: "On December 27th, you forwarded to me a clipping from 'the New York Times of December 23, 1921,' referring to a protest made by Representative Aswell of Louisiana against permitting Negroes to patronize the House of Representatives restaurant in the Capitol. The article contained the statement that "assurance is said to have been given that hereafter the restaurant will be restricted to whites." I write you at the time that I could not believe that any assurance had been given to the Representative as stated in the report but that I would run the matter down. "I am now pleased to inform you that I have investigated the alleged report and have the personal assurance of Representative Clifford Ireland of Illinois, Chairman of the Committee on Accounts, which has charge of the restaurant, that although a protest was made by Representative Aswell of Louisiana against Negroes patronizing the House of Representatives restaurant, that no assurance has been given nor will any be given that there will be any segregation in the restaurant of the House of Representatives, nor will the restaurant be restricted to whites. "Permit me to take this occasion to thank you for your kind words of appreciation of my humble efforts in behalf of the Anti-Lynching Bill. "Yours very truly, MARTIN C. ANSORGE." WHOLESALE FORGER SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 4-With $800 in bills on his person, Jesse Jackson, keeper of a rooming house at 512 Gaston Street, west, was arrested yesterday afternoon by city detectives and is being held in connection with the wholesale forgery attempted last week against the Central of Georgia Railway. terminate the protectorate which was declared in 1914, to recognize the existence of Egypt as a sovereign state and to agree to the constitution of an Egyptian Parliament and re-establishment of an Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs as soon as they were satisfied as to the following conditions which they regard as vital to the conditions both of Egyptian and the empire: "They must have full and effective guarantees, first, that the imperial communications to which Egypt is essential, are assured; second, that Great Britain retain both the right and power to afford that protection to the foreign communities in Egypt which the governments of these peoples in the existing conditions look to her to supply; and, third, that Egypt is safeguarded against all foreign interference or aggression, direct or indirect. "As soon as an agreement satisfying these conditions has been drawn up between the Egyptian government and the British government there will be no hesitation on the part of the latter in inviting parliamentary sanction to such an accord." The "Adly mission" referred to in the foregoing dispatch was headed by Adly Yeghen Pasha, former premier of Egypt. After visiting England and discussing the Egyptian situation with the British government, last December Adly returned to Egypt and resigned the premiership. LAWYERS OPEN WELL APPOINTED OFFICES IN LOOP DISTRICT A representative of the Chicago Whip who had occasion to visit a number of the offices in the loop recently was very much impressed by the magnificent and well equipped offices occupied by William L. Dawson, Herman E. Moore, William H. Haynes, and J. Ernest Wilkins. These men are associated together in Suite 604-005 Firmench building, located at 184 West Washington street, where they have five rooms especially equipped for the practice of law. They have an excellent library and show every indication that they are in the business on a modern scale to give to their many friends in Chicago a high grade of legal service in all the phases of the general practice of law. Every man in the office is exceptionally well prepared for his profession, holding both college and law degrees from some of the foremost institutions in the country, such as The University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and Bostop University. Evidently the Chicago public appreciates this class of service, for these men are kept busy serving a rapidly growing clientele. Pyramid Casket Co. Gains Support The Pyramid Casket and Manufacturing Company, a $10,000 corporation recently launched on the south side, announces the co-operation of the 25 colored undertakers in Chicago. "There is not a single man in the business who has hesitated to give us their patronage," said Robert L. Ephraim, the manager, to a Whip reporter. "S. J. Fountain, 3336 Indiana avenue, placed an order far in advance in order to go on record as our first patron. Since that time orders have come in from a number of undertakers, white and colored." A sales force has been mustered to invade Michigan, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. The company has offices at 129 East 31st Street, suite 18. Steps On Manhole Mrs. M. L.

Mr. Donald Heywood spent a few hours in this city Friday. Mr. Heywood is the writer of several compositions and is well known among the musical world of both Milwaukee and Chicago. Mrs. Thela Rogers left Sunday afternoon for Beloit, Wis., to spend several months. There was a very class act at the Palace Theater last week called "A Modern Cocktail" sizzling with pep, featuring Miss Naomi Hunter. The boys' jazz is exceptionally fine. Thursday afternoon Mr. Lew Henry, Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Major were entertained by Mr. Clarence Parker at his home, 393 Third street. Miss Amy Steffens is spending the week in Chicago, Ill. The La Circle Girls Club of the Y. W. C. A. will hold one of the smartest events of the season at their club rooms in the Alhambra bldg., on the 15th of February. Many of the younger set are expected to attend. The Henry Roger Post of the American Legion elected the following officers for the ensuing year. Commander, John Bryon; Vice Commander, Roy Peoples; Adjutant, Ralph Blackburn; Finance officer, Hovey Stith; sergeant at arms, Earl Longn; Historian, Hughes R. Grant; Chaplain, D. W. Arrington. Delegates to the Miljawakee County Council: John Bryon and John A. Hall; Alternates, Dr. V. Nichols and Ralph N. Blackburn. Executive Committee, John A. Hall, Dr. H. B. Stokes, A. B. Nutt, Dr. V. Nichols. Many are expected to attend the Washington's birthday matinee dance. Music will be furnished by John H. Wickliffe's Ginger Band, at the Freie Geminie Hall, this affords an opportunity for many Chicagoan's to visit Milwaukee and have a good time. As a novelty, entertainment will be furnished by many well known entertainers. The La Circle Girls' Club entertained their members at a bunco party last Wednesday evening. Many new members were initiated. Miss Cecelia Phillips entertained a few friends at a whist party on Friday night. Cards and dancing were the features of the evening. Mrs. Donald Cosby seriously injured her finger when leaving the North Shore station by catching it in the door. New Orleans, La. E. Evans Whitfield, a longshoreman, 1710 Harmony Street, was painfully injured by jumping from a truck. He was taken to the Flint's Goodridge Hospital where his injuries were treated. Mercantile houses which draw the line at Catholics should logically draw the line at Catholic coin. Should the house be one that sends out solicitors, it ought, were it careful to play a square game, to interview the householder as it interviews those who seek employment. What religion do you profess? The Catholic? Well, yes, the Catholic. You may hear from us later. And then again you may not hear from us at all. Bigotry ought to be willing to give as well as take. Unwilling to give, it should not be counted willing to take. It establishes an unilateral boycott. A boycott to be equitable should be bilateral. You don't want me because of the religion which I profess; I don't want your goods because of the bigotry which you practice. Good day. Pulaski, Tenn. The M. M. C. Club was entertained by Mrs. Lucy Buchanon at the residence of Mrs. Lula Gill. A five-course supper was served. Mr. Buchanon won the blue ribbon for collecting the most money; amount, $4.10.

Bradden, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, delivered a most eloquent and timely address to the brethren last Monday. Among the many good points made by him. He said that he is willing to line up with any man or set of men who are big enough to deny self and let Jesus lead in putting over the kingdom's program. He also said that the size of the pastor church or congregation will not determine who shall have the great generalship over the Baptist denomination in Chicago. Dr. I. A. Thomas responds. But service must determine the man. He urged that the Baptist of Chicago would unite and save the denomination in Chicago. Rev. J. W. Coleman, Reporter. The Metropolitan Community Center Church Reverend W. D. Cook, Pastor.

The peculiar circumstances attendant upon the organization of the church and the policy of the church: Open to worship of God by all believers; with God, alone, as the Head and the Spirit of Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost as the Supreme Leader, has held together the 6,000 members, which have been drawn there by the spiritual sermons of Reverend Dr. Cook, and the musical genius of "Choral King" Jones. The services Sunday morning, as usual were strongly spiritual and many accessions (47) were made. Ten from churches in Chicago. The musical department is unsurpassed, and the Director, J. Wesley Jones, has turned into the treasury of the church nearly one thousand dollars raised since November, 1921. He is the one director in Chicago who is as good a financier as he is a musician. Only one other director in Chicago can heat this distinction. (See elsewhere.) Director in Chicago can hear this discussion. Director in Chicago can bear this dis- ciple.

INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH FASTOR DRAWS MANY Over One Hundred Turned Away Sunday Great Crowds were attracted to Institutional Church last Sunday by the announcement of the continuation of the Pastor's Sermons upon "Elijah" ten of a series. "Elijah and the Widow" was a masterful sermon. Those whom have habitually arrived at the church at 11:00 found the house packed and the aisles being cleared with difficulty. The late comers could not get in. Over one hundred is said to have been turned away for lack of standing room. When the beautiful Choir under direction of the formermost contralto, Miss Magnolia N. Lewis, gave forth its melded numbers, and the excellent numbers by Giles' orchestra strained forth, the audience was well prepared in spirit for the sermon which ended in a high state of religious fervor. Dr. David Johnson is delivering sermons just as scheduled; Intelligent, Instructive and highly Spiritual in power. Next Sunday he announced, "Elijah and the Widow's Son" as his theme.

Zion Church. Reverend R. B. Hendricks, Pastor. The services at St. Catherine's were well attended last Sunday. The wonderfully strong sermon aroused the spirit of its many worshippers present. St. Catherine's will invite the Different Kind of Concert Company to appear with us in February. Our presiding elder, Rev. W. T. Beck, recommended the concert Mr. Howlett is arranging for their appearance with us. The poses, alone, are worth the price. Michigan Avenue Zion A. M. E. Church Reverend George W. Rivers, Pastor. The Michigan Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church listened to the great sermon of its pastor Sunday. Reverend Rivers, like Reverend Beck, is a strong spiritual preacher. The spirit seemed to dwell in his sermon and was quickly transferred to the worshipers. New life is noticeable in the activity of the faithful followers here. Next Monday Brother and Trustee A. C. Combs has arranged to present here the Different Kind of Concert Company, which is composed of singers, dramatic readers and a young lady of twelve, in artistic poses. Numbers of our congregation saw them at St. Mathew's and are going to see them here and elsewhere. They change their program in a moment. Everybody is invited to come out to 3947 Michigan Avenue.

The services at Pilgrim Temple Church, at 33d and Indiana Avenue, are gathering on time to hear Chicago's spiritual preacher. Reverend S. E. J. Watson bears the distinction of being more of an evangelist and an evangelical singer than of other qualifications peculiarly distinctive of several Chicago ministers. Pilgrim Church is a beautiful church physically, within and without, and spiritually if you are too proud to feel the spirit and to give vent, then you had better watch yourself when "S. E. J." preaches. The choir, under James A. Lilliard, is spreading out "neck and neck" with Institutional Church and is close up to Ebenezer choir in talent as a whole. Sunday the morning service was the best of the month, it is said. Watch for special report of sermon next week by W. A. E. Note: Churches which have been depending upon a certain member of the Chicago Whip to be present or to make a report of their church activities each week, will please note that the person referred to has been put to work in one of the large churches. He cannot be present at any other church on time on Sundays now. He has to be there on Sundays. Oh, that's easy, just write in your news! This in no wise changes the family relations. Send in your news on Mondays. Carter's Temple. Carter's Temple C, M, E. Church 43d and Champlain, Rev. James A. Stout, D, D., pastor. Sunday, January 29, Rev.

You are welcome at Trinity. Special musical programme, Prof. Ed. Morris, musical director." The Olivet Baptist Church L. K. Williams, D. D., Pastor.

The people went away much benefited. The Rev. Gold Refined Wilson, a graduate student at the University of Chicago, was present and in brief told the audience about the impression the pastor made in his lecture at the University of Chicago.

Address .. 01 NOSEY WAS in the flat next to the one in which there was being given what is generally known as an "Arbuckle party." In listening in on the party, Nosey found out that several male society lions were giving it and the ladies were also on the social register. The funny part of it all was that one of the gentlemen could not get rid of one of "his painted ladies" of the underworld, and therefore had to bring her along to share drinks and break bread with the society ladies. He had instructed the painted one to try and act like a lady and not forget herself either in her language or in her actions. Before the party was over it was evident that the society ladies were trying their best to act like ladies (?) of the underworld and the lady (?) of the underworld was trying to act like society folks. The gentlemen ran true to form, and therefore the party was a success. This city is really democratic and cosmopolitan after dark, anyway. Why, get out of line? . . . ONE NEVER knows when he is going to run up on true genius on when he is going to see the working out of an inspiration. Nosey ran upon a dapper young man sitting on a broken chair moaning—really "moaning" out what sounded to Nosey like the best blues ever written. The young man was in a hole. He had pawned his "best" suit to one of his cronies and camp follers and intended to redeem it out of his next pay. That very day he was fired from his perfectly good job. No suit, no money. Therefore—"Suitless Blues" and "The Jobless Blues." It might happen to any of us these days so one better play soft pedal even though he is flying high. 5.A--WHIP SAFETY FIRST ought to be the motto of all who handle "hoocht" for it works in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform. At a party down behind dear old State street the other night, all went well. Guests sipped their sparkling liquors in ease and comfort. Ladies flicked ashes from their gold tipped cigarettes. Suddenly a loud explosion, followed by a hissing and sizzling like would happen if a locomotive would explode. Ladies made hurried and unladylike exits through doors and windows and ran frantically down the street. Nosey approached the scene with others who were attracted by the loud report. As Nosey came within sixty feet of the house his keen nostrils detected an odor much like that which is said to hover over the hills of old Kentucky where the "moon shines merrily". Too much pressure on the old still and not enough attention "broke up the party". This should be a warning to all the wealthy class who like to see the moon shine merrily on their parties. EVERY NIGHT something happens over east near that delightful little park. Nosey was taking his nightly walk the other night and he heard what he took to be a lovers' quarrel, but which later developed into a fuss. The guy said that she would get him if it took all week. She tried him with her hists and then they changed to a bit of wrestling. Then a shot rang out in the night. Nosey thought that she had shot the man because he yelled, "Oh, honey, you have shot me!" She stopped her beating and said, "Shut up, you fool; those were my teeth you tell." On investigation Nosey found out that the shooting was fifty feet away. Another couple were trying to settle their differences. All the injury done was a broken glass in a nearby building. Now Nosey includes this neighborhood every night in his rambles. He likes excitement, even if the people in the neighborhood do not. YOU CAN BET that society is in for another great "shape-up." Nosey has been trailing for some time the gossip about some of the "high ups." Last Saturday night Nosey listened in on a conversation which indicated that some of the "highest up" had determined to make a striking example of all of the parties who are involved in this most "scandalous scandal." Nosey listened to the social leaders planning to "boycott" and ostracise these "terrible persons," and from their plans Nosey concluded that these persons might just as well pack their things and leave or be prepared for the worst. Nosey smiled as he listened because he knew that if ever these persons started retaliating on those "highest up" then there would be one of the worst mud-singing contests ever staged in Chicago. Nosey smiled and said, "Let it come." AT THE COUNTY HOSPITAL Robert Turner, a homeless man was removed to the County Hospital January 24. He was suffering from exposure. Charles Wilson, 68, 2821 State Street,' was removed to the County Hospital January 25, suffering from heart trouble.

Hammond, formerly Boys' Work Director of the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., and for the past six years probation officer of the Juvenile Court of Cook County, and one of the Race's brilliant young men, speaking on "Emphasis," in a masterly and interesting fashion showed clearly where we as a Race too often lay emphasis on the wrong thing. He pointed out tersely how we lay more emphasis on our differences than upon the points upon which we agree. He emphasized that we should get together on common ground and work out our common problem. Attorney Hammond pointed out how we have examples of false emphasis in our churches, fraternal organizations, homes and schools. His address showed a thorough understanding of his subject. St. Mark patrons and friends will be glad to hear him again. Vocal selections were rendered in a most charming manner by Mrs. Carrie South and Mrs. Mary Covington; to whom we are especially indebted for her kindness in coming to us on such short notice. St. Mark Lyceum, under the able and efficient management of its officers, Miss Alberta C. Mason, president; Miss Rissht L. Allen, chairman of music and program committee; and Attorney J.

Dear Friend: * * * Your letter was received today and found me well and O. K. I was glad to learn that you are coming to Chicago and I hope that you will enjoy your trip. I wish it was so that you can stay with me during your stay here. I have a house full of roomers and I have no vacant room. * * * But you can stop at the Idlewild Hotel. It is a nice hotel, and the rates are very reasonable. You can get a nice room there for $5 a week, also they give good service. --- You are leaving on the morning train, are you not? Well, it will put you here at 11 o'clock the next morning, and I will try to meet you at the station, but in case I don't meet you, call the Dreamland Taxi Service—the telephone number is Victory 90—and when the taxi comes to the station for you, just come out to my flat and I will go with you to the Idle-wild. ```markdown ``` After we get your room engaged we will go to dinner. I'll take you to the Tavern, 3456 State street, where I have my meals, it is the nicest place in town. I know you will like it because it is first class and very reasonable. * * * I'll be glad when you get here because we can have a lot of fun together, and I will take you around to all the places—the cabarets, theaters and all. Well, I am glad you let me know, so I can have things arranged so I can get out with you most of the time. I'll close now, as I have to cook dinner for my husband, he will be home soon. Good-bye.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES. The George L. Giles Post, No. 87, American Legion, is making an effort to increase its membership and at the present has reduced the joining fee of new members to the sum of three dollars. The American Legion is now establishing a special department to handle the claims of ex-service men against the Government and in any and all ways help to assist those who should be getting compensation. This service is entirely free, there being no charge of any kind. Any man or woman who has any claim through ex-service men should communicate with some member of the George L. Giles Post or to the post headquarters at 3201 South Wabash Avenue. Post meetings are held every fourth Thursday in each month.

The leading speaker at the meeting of the National Council to be held in Ebenezer Church next Monday evening, February 6, is to be Dr. Sadie Bav Adair, of the Chicago School Board. It will be well worth the while of Colored people to hear her remarks. Dr. Adair was born in Central Kansas, but at an early age moved to Buena Vista, Colo., where she was very prominent in all the activities of the town. Later she attended and graduated in medicine from Creighton University at Omaha. In time fortune directed her steps to Chicago, where she first practiced in Woodlawn. Practice increased, however, until it became necessary to obtain offices in the loop, where her ability and interest in children and school affairs brought her an appointment to the Board of Education. Pioneer Lawyer Dies On Monday morning, January 30, at his residence, 3672 Wabash Avenue, Mr. Thomas E.

Max- well, and a stepson, Charles J. Jenkins. Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 11:30 o'clock at Pilgrims Baptist Church.

Dr. Grant said. jazz as interpreted in the play meant drunkenness, sex aban- donment, domestic destruction, suicide and “quite a list of other rather unpleas- ant things.” “Jazz is retrogression.

Its effect. is to. make you clatter, and, as Voltaire said, ‘to go on all fours’ to which I would add—and to whisk your tail around a tree. “Our great dance music has been pro- oundly pathetic. It seems to, say how fleeting is youth. , Jazz says: ‘Cut it out; don't dream, don't worry about transient things. Seize the day. Don't dream about possibilities of pleasure.” There is no pathos or no idealism about jazz mu- sic.

By Dave Wyatt The three days conference of the National Association of Colored professional baseball clubs ended in a blaze of glory after one of the most harmonious sessions ever held by the large baseball body. The first day found the magnates right in the lowest part of their business program which they dismissed with neatness and dispatch. After an all day contrab upon Friday, the 27th, the fast elbang energy of the baseball gods was stimulated by a banquet staged in the elaborate quarters of the Appomattox Club, at which the elite of the windy cities' business men and first citizens pored out showers of encouragement to the efforts of the baseball men who are making the fight or clean sports. New Cities in Circuit As regards number, the circuit remains the same as that of the past two years. The make up of the western circuit undergoes a change through the addition of Cleveland and Pittsburgh and the temporary dropping of Columbus, the latter's players being distributed throughout the circuit and with members associated with the national association. The Cuban Stars will travel over the circuit, as will the Chicago Giants. Many games will be exchanged with associated members and various outside attractions from time to time, but will be considered as exhibition contests as a variation for the fans along the circuit. Andrew "Ruhe" Foster suc- Are Your Valuable Papers Safe? 1,000 New Safety Deposit Boxes Have Been Installed in Our Vaults PETER ceeded himself as the executive head of the organization, and all of the old owners remain at the helm for their clubs. Rumors of a change of the possessors of the St. Louis franchise did not materialize, but indications point in that direction. At present, St. Louis is still one of the league cities, with a full right to protection of its assets, which include the players, all of the last year's roster being carried upon the reserve list of the St. Louis club. The Bacharach Giants is the eastern club to affiliate with the organization and J. W. Connors, treasurer of the club, was clothed with power and authority and is therefore the accredited representative of the National baseball body in the entire eastern territory. Future Looms Bright Future Looms Bright The acquisition of Cleveland and Pittsburgh makes for added luster for the future of Colored baseball. Tate field at Baltimore has a fifty-third dollar investment is owned by members of the race it is well located and can be utilized to accommodate eight thousand persons. Sunday games are well attended at Cleveland and week days are right up to and surpass many of the older cities. The playing field at Pittsburgh is owned and operated by a member of the race and represents an outlay of more than seventy thousand dollars. No Sunday games are played at the Smoky city but their Friday and Saturday crowds are right up to many of the Sunday crowds of other cities. The scattering of the players of the Columbus club together with various switches and trades gives the league a very even balanced circuit on playing strength and is destined to keep interest at fever heat at all points along the league route. We wish to remind you that this bank has for sale a few desirable small first mortgages—approved as safe conservative investment THE CHICAGO WHIP SPORTIVELY SPEAKING By "AEM." In the Evening American fans are asked to send their opinion of Dempsey's next opponent, they are responding all right, but do not seem to understand the editor's request to have the arguments condensed. So we are offering a few examples. In reporting a street car accident you simply say: Aged man. Trollly car. Foot slipped. There you are. Or perhaps a young boy whose premature death was due to smoking. You'd simply say: Little Johnnie Smith, with sad regrets; age nine; cigarettes. Perhaps some one was shot while indulging in a bit of African gold, then you'd say: There, free from care, hells Williams Jones; he sprang a pair of loaded bones. Will's may contest Dempsey's claim to the heavy weight title. But Kearns swirls clear title as champion producer of mythical promoters. Brennan says he believes he can win from Dempsey. What fool wouldn't take the dare for the loser's end. In the final Defender game before leaving for the East fans were given a chance to see both East and West brand of basket ball, the first half was strictly Eastern, plenty of fouls resulting, while the second half saw a bit of Western caging. The later seemed to take best with the fans, who wanted plenty of action for their money. "Bobbie" Anderson was in the Defender lineup after several days' absence, and played his usual good game. A basket is never made against "Creed" Hubbard until it has fallen through the net, that old boy takes them right out of the net. Sachs left the floor for a few minutes probably to whisper in his own ear; didn't do very much good, however, as the Blunt proteges were out in front never to be beheaded. GILES POST FLOOR FIVE TO PLAY When the team representing the Geo L. Giles Post of the American Legion and the fast Arrow quintet from Evanson meet Monday, February 27, at the Eighth Regiment Armory, 35th and Giles Avenue, South Side tans will have a chance of either blotting out or confirming the argument advanced by supporters of the Evanson team to the effect that the loss of King to the Arrows alone made defeat inevitable in their game with the Defenders. It was a case similar to that of Babe Ruth in the past World's Series Evanson boosters were offering odds with King in the lineup and demanding odds in the event that King did not play. Of course King did not play, for reasons unknown to us. Evanson lost and naturally tans are anxious to see "King" of the rage in action. King Bengal Bumpup This King Bengal is coming to the armory February 10 not as a member of the Arrows but as leader of the Legionites. Besides King the Gilesmen boast of several other stars among them being Thomas, who it is said can do more tricks with a basket ball than any man in the game. Eighth Regiment and Arrow Lights in Preliminary The first game a preliminary between the Eighth Regiment lightweights and the Evanston Lights is scheduled to start at 8:15 promptly and should be an interesting game as the two teams are pretty evenly matched and are anxious to settle an old grudge of having won an equal number of games. Dancing follows the big game start- ing promptly at 10:15. The probable lineup: Giles Post. Arrows. Zeigler F. Gash Collins F. Clement Thomas C. Marion King G. Mack Tarkington G. Adams Reid G.

Buckner Made Trainer For White Sox Buckner Made Trainer For White Sox A. B. WILLIAM A. BUCKNER William A. Buckner, who trained the White Sox for ten years, during which period the team never finished farther than third from the top, has been re-engaged as trainer for Comiskey's team this year. Starting his career as a doctor of muscles and sprains in 1883 at the old Missouri Bicycle and Athletic Club at St. Louis. Buckner grew up with that sport. When cycle racing became the rage he was in the thick of it. His start in the game was as trainer of the Syracuse racing team. When E. E. Anderson first performed the feat of riding a mile a minute on a wheel, paced by a railroad train, it was Buckner who prepared Anderson for the feat and watched all the preliminaries to see that every possible chance of accident was eliminated. Buckner developed George Leander, the amateur champion of whom all Chicago was proud, and he handled Charley Miller, at one time long distance champion of the world. Then he hooked up with Major Taylor, and when the wonder went to Europe Buckner was in charge of the tour. While in Europe Buckner started the Major in thirty-one races, of which he won twenty-nine. And when they came back they brought the scalps of the previous champions of England, Denmark, France, Belgium and Italy. Buck became identified with the White Sox in 1907, the year after they won the world championship, and Big Ed Walsh of that team will tell you that he owes much of his success in the last five years to the care and advice that Buckner has given him. When Walsh pitched in 64 out of 154 games played, the pitcher handed Buckner much of the credit for his most successful year. Lightning 5 Beats St. Bernard On Saturday night, January 28, a Eighth Regiment Armory, the Eighth Regiment Lightning Five again showed their clever team work by defeating the St. Bernards of Englewood, one of the fastest 135-lb. teams in the city, to the score of 34-18. Much credit is due to Manning, the plucky little guard, for his all-around playing and shooting. He led the score with six baskets. The crowd was kept constantly on their toes by the spectacular guarding of Eddie Ellis, who would time and again leap into the air and spoil many a good shot for the visitors. The Eighth Regiment Lightning Five claim the lightweight championship of the United States. Eastern teams take notice. For games, write to Lieut. Robert W. Maxwell, 4326 Wabash Avenue, Chicago. The lineup: Eighth Regiment.....St. Bernard. Harrison ..... R.F. ..... T. Croke Green ..... L.F. ..... Kelly Cardwell ..... C. ..... Killy Ellis ..... R.G. ..... Beck Manning ..... L.G. ..... Collins LeGare ..... L.F. ..... The Eighth Regiment Lightning Five invaded the north side on Monday night, January 30, and played the fast Modocs in their gymnasium on Lill Avenue and just nosed out the game by one point. The score, 13-12. It was a fast, hard fought game, with both teams fighting for the advantage from the start. It was only by the fast and superior passing of the Eighth Regiments that they came out on top. The boys from the south side were on the short end at the close of the first half, but the end of the game found an entirely different story. The Modoc's will be at the Eighth Regiment Armory on Saturday, February 18. The Eighth Regiment Lightning Five will play the Illinois Sportsman's Club at the Armory on Saturday night, February 4. The Eighth Regiment Lightweight Champions of the West are out with a defi to any and all teams of the 135- 145-lb. class. Out of town teams take notice.

First of all Jack Kearns will no doubt have a heart-to-heart talk with Tex Rickard to find out definitely just what Tex has in store for Jack Dempsey in the shape of an early match at the Garden. Following the confab between Kearns and Rickard it is almost a cinch that Kearns will be compelled to pay some heed to the offer of William A. Brady, the theatrical manager, who stepped in the breach last week with an offer of $200,000 for Dempsey and Harry Wills. Brady's attitude would indicate that he knows his ground. He is too wise a bird to toss in a bid of $200,000 smackers without knowing exactly where he stands. This same Billy Brady is no novice at the fight game. He wants a battle between Dempsey and Wills and is willing to pay for it. Together with all that he knows that Wills right now shapes up as the only man who appears to have a chance against the great white champion. The fans want that match and Brady realizes it. He may have many obstacles to overcome before he lands it, but he has a good fighting spirit and will no doubt force Kearns and Dempsey to show their hands or admit they do not want any part of the big colored serapper. Brady knows that it is a good business proposition and is arranging his ans accordingly. His offer of $200, 00 is a whole lot more than Dempsey can get for another shot at Carpenter many of the other boys whom Dempsey has knocked over. Both Kearns and Dempsey soon will realize this and it will not be surprising if the match is clinched within the next ten days.—Harry Newman in New York Times. DEFENDER A. C. TO PLAY ORIENTALS DEFENDER A. C. TO PLAY ORIENTALS The Defender A. C. of Chicago now touring the East, will play the new Eastern sensations, the sensations, the Orientals of New Rochelle, this Saturday night, February 4, at the New Rochelle High School. The visitors fresh from their games with the Puritans at the Orange Armory and the Spartan "Braves" in New York, will make their first appearance in New Rochelle and special arrangements are being made to receive the Westerners. The Orientals are in good condition for their first intersectionsal game and will take the floor confident of making their opponents taste the sting of defeat. So far this season they have scored a total of 514 points in twelve games and have registered victories over such teams as the Alpha Big Five, Titans of Orange, Jersey, Independents, New York State All-Stars, Mamaroneck, K. C., etc. With Bluitt, Butler, Hubbard, Anderson, Duff, Winters in the visitors' lineup, New Rochelle will see its biggest attraction and much prestige will be gained, if the home boys beat their opponents. HARVARD TO MISS GOURDIN THIS YEAR BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 4. E. O. ("Ned") Gourdin, Harvard's premier athlete, will be sorely missed during the coming season, which begins today, when Yale is encountered at the B. A. A. games at the Boston Arena. This will be closely followed by the Harvard-Dartmouth-Cornell triangular meet February 25. Coach Bill Bingham is a little worried over the finding of a man to fill Gourdin's shoes. According to his statement, Gourdin was the greatest broad jumper that ever wore a track suit, and his loss to the Crimson track squad will be greatly missed. Baseball Powers Reeeive Hearty Welcome Here Undoubtedly the most elaborate welcome ever accorded a body of men in any walk of life, typifies the reception tendered the baseball magnates, sport writers and friends as the National Association of Colored professional baseball clubs convened last week at Chicago. One hundred friends and devotees of the national game assembled at the banquet table and listened intently at the mass of after dinner oratory, diffused by the higher ups, middlemen and others of Chicago's big business, political, social and various walks of life. Visitors from other cities of the baseball circuit responded in kind, and baseball endured one of its best innings since the berth of the national sport among the Darker race. An abridged list of those who spoke for the honest sport follows: Alderman R. R. Jackson, Toastmaster. Purpose of the occasion. 2 Q. J. Gilmore, Kansas City, Mo. Sport E Sport Editorial Sport Editorial THAT TATE-WILLS AFFAIR. Sport serices all over the country he Tate as possible contenders for the heavy mixed bouts has been brought up and a public. For some reason, the white press sees him instead of Tate as the logical fit preference seems to persist in face of the fight with Tate on a foul. In the second Regardless of whatever might be s Tate stands as champion among the blinds of fight fans, and there seems to these two contenders in New York and Tate he ought to do it in fifteen rounds show it and then the question would be has a right to contend that he is the better Sport scribes all over the country have given much time recently to Wills and Tate as possible contenders for the heavy weight title. The usual argument against mixed bouts has been brought up and this, no doubt, in order to sound out the public. For some reason, the white press seems inclined to give Wills the edge, favoring him instead of Tate as the logical fighter and as the logical black man. This preference seems to persist in face of the fact that in Portland Harry Wills lost his fight with Tate on a foul. In the second match, the decision was a draw. Regardless of whatever might be said, according to the rules of the game, Tate stands as champion among the black men. If there is still any doubt in the minds of fight fans, and there seems to be some, why not arrange a fight between these two contenders in New York and let them fight it out. If Wills can heat Tate he ought to do it in fifteen rounds. If Tate is the better man, he ought to show it and then the question would be setled. Unil such a match is pulled, Tate has a right to contend that he is the better man. WILLS AND DEMPSEY. By A. E. Monroe. To the average fan, as well as DeGain the fact that Dempsey stands supra to fight Wills to prove that he is the chief Kearns, Dempsey's manager, it is elegy. Kearns probably realizes that when Wills enter the ring most anything is his manager of champion Dempsey he is in his figure, while as manager of ex-champ well-known class of catch-as-catch-can. One can hardly avoid sympatizing at when you realize this thing of entering to lose and very little to gain is anything be avoided. But, remember, my dear boy but often difficult to avoid. We admit Dempsey is a powerful fighter the best man the squared circle is willing to have him crowned King of Chari Harry. Kearns is a public man depend why not give the public what they want loss of his meal ticket. The method Dempsey is employing simply ludicrous, when he persists in say match. Do you think for a moment that of study of handling the public, would a convinced of its popular demand? a Brady is no novice at the boxing game, a Kearns will undoubtedly encounter other setup for Dempsey, for we venture the world upon whom the promoters would Wills' offer. And, too, Tex Rickard, the the public's demand to have the men middling for the match it looks like a witen two of the greatest men who ever ran. The recent statement in which Kearns white man's game," and that colored peper than as barber shop spectators was taken alibi, for Wills is going into the ring witt but for the entire sport loving public who fighting power tested by the man acknowled challengers. Our suggestion to Kearns would be, are now enjoying come from a principal are bound to respect, this man is Harry W in a class by himself, have him dispose of you, but until you do, we are inclined to be man, you are doing him more harm than their belief that he is best. Be a real mome from behind the color line and let's the man you are managing. BASEBALL NEWS FR To the average fan, as well as Dempsey himself the publicity that is being given the fact that Dempsey stands supreme over all other fighters and has only to fight Wills to prove that he is the champion of all champions is eulogy, but to Kearns, Dempsey's manager, it is elegy. Kearns probably realizes that when two men as nearly equal as Dempsey and Wills enter the ring most anything is likely to happen, besides he knows that as manager of champion Dempsey he is in great demand with the privilege of naming his figure, while as manager of ex-champion Dempsey he would find himself in the well-known class of catch-as-catch-can. One can hardly avoid sympathizing even though you do not agree with Kearns, when you realize this thing of entering a conflict in which you have everything to lose and very little to gain is anything but rosy, and should, if possible, surely be avoided. But, remember, my dear readers, the wrong path is easily observed but often difficult to avoid. We admit Dempsey is a powerful fighter with a terrific punch, and is probably the best man the squared circle is harboring today. But the public is not willing to have him crowned King of Champions until he has disposed of the giant Harry. Kearns is a public man depending upon the public for a living. Then why not give the public what they want? The answer is plain, Kearns fears the loss of his meal ticket. The method Dempsey is employing to dodge the issue of meeting Wills is simply indicous, when he persists in saying that the public does not want such a match. Do you think for a moment that W. A. Brady, a man who has had years of study of handling the public, would attempt to stage such a match he not convinced of its popular demand? If so, you have another thought coming, for Brady is no novice at the boxing game, and when he speaks it is with force. Kearns will undoubtedly encounter quite a bit of difficulty in arranging another setup for Dempsey, for we venture to say that there is not another fighter in the world upon whom the promoters would chance such a guarantee as the $200,000 Wills' offer. And, too, Tex Rickard, the King of fight promoters, is now considering the public's demand to have the men meet, and with Rickard and Brady in the bidding for the match it looks like a world's championship battle July 4th between two of the greatest men who ever trod the floor of the squared circle. The recent statement in which Kearns was quoted as saying: "Fighting is the white man's game," and that colored people would not support the fighters other than as barber shop spectators was taken as it should have been, as a frivolous alibi, for Wills is going into the ring with the champion not to fight for the race, but for the entire sport loving public who desires to have Dempsey's so-called super-fighting power tested by the man acknowledged as the best of the present crop of challengers. My suggestion to Kearns would be, renew your principal as the interest you are now enjoying comes from a principal that is strongly contested by a man you are bound to respect, this man is Harry Wills. If you really believe your protege in a class by himself, have him dispose of this dark secret, and let us rejoice with you, but until you do, we are inclined to believe he has an equal. If he is the better man, you are doing him more harm than good by causing the fans to falter in their belief that he is best. Be a real man, make your fighter a real champion, come from behind the color line and let's go for the sake of the game, as well as the man you are managing. BASEBALL NEWS FROM PACIFIC COAST On Sunday, January 15, another exciting game was enjoyed by the fans when Meusel's All-Stars won from the Negro All-Stars by a score of 7 to 6. The Negroes went in to the ninth trailing, 7 to 4, and put up a gallant effort to forge into the lead, but the lead piled up by Meusel's All-Stars was too great to overcome although the winning and tieing runs were on third and second when the game came to a close. It was a well played game and both of the all-star clubs knew that they were in a real ball game. The fans went away well pleased after seeing what is very rare on the Coast, and that is a big league ball game. After a week's rest, the two all-star teams hung up again on Saturday, January 21. The Negro National Leaguers were the victors in another well played game by the score of 4 to 3. The Negro All-Stars again defeated Lefty Thomas, but they did not trail as before; they jumped into the lead from the start and were never headed. Little Hurley McNair of the Kansas City Monarchs was the pitcher and held the terrors of many a big league pitcher to six hits, and drove in one run and also was one of the leading hitters of the day, with two out of three times up. Charleston and Carr had eight putouts between them, several of which bordered on the sensational. Carr has at last struck his batting stride and is hitting the ball hard again.

Charleston in center, in the eighth inning, made without a doubt one of the greatest catches ever seen in this neck of the woods. Irish Meusel got the big part of his bat on one of Jeffries' fast ones, so you know it was a hit. It looked to be a sure homer. Charleston made a desperate run for the sphere. The fans as well as his teammates hoped that he would recover the ball, thereby holding Meusel to three bases. Charleston made a leap, fell, rolled over and came up with the ball in his hands. The fans went wild over this spectacular catch. Carr is speedily developing into a first class outfielder; in fact, the Los Angeles papers say that the Negro All-Stars has the greatest outfield ever seen out here. The game was won in the ninth inning. With a score of 4 to 4, McNair left off with a double, Hawkins sacrificed him to third. Patrica walked Charleston and Mackey, and Mendez walked to the plate. He looked over two fast ones and swung at a curve and missed. Carr went to the plate determined to soak the sphere good and plenty for the winning run, but the first ball pitched to him by Pertica was wild. The fans went home after seeing one of the best played ball games in the history of the park. The game was hard fought from beginning to end. 7 8 THE CHICAGO WHIP An Independent Newspaper Published Every Week FEBRUARY 4, 1922 Published by THE MAC NEAL PUBLISHING COMPANY (Incorporated) OFFICE: 3420 STATE STREET PHONE V HIBB, L.

SMALL SOULS A quaint old writer wrote of men who had souls so small that a thousand of them could dance on the point of a needle at one time. These evil creatures put evil for good, darkness for light, hatred for love, deceit for fidelity and war for peace. These evil creatures were wrapped in the commonest of human clay although ponderous enough to give them the semblance of full grown men. That was long ago. If the quaint old writer should return from that land "from whose bourn no traveler" has ever yet returned, he would lift his trenchant pen and dip it into the blood of wounded humanity and again the Muse would come. He would write of the Small Souls in the present world. He would tell of Souls intrinsically small and infinitesimally weak. The soul from a metaphysical viewpoint is a wonderful, spiritual thing; from a practical scientific angle, however, it is less wonderful and more material. It can probably be understood as that something within us that thinks, feels and wills. Whatever it is we know that it is the supreme motive power of finite creation. It is the force that causes men to act. It is the force that causes men to progress. It is the force that causes men to love. When men act with intrepidity and selfishness habitually, when men hate their brothers and hatred and enmity are the ruling passions, small souls are behind them. When men rob and kill and "break through and steal" small souls will be found to be the first link in the chain of proximate causation. Humanity is acting ruthlessly. We witness everywhere the unsatiety and selfishness of human desire. We survey dispassionately the gory fields of the late European and American disasters. We observe in the Crucible of Time, in the melting pot of eternity, very little gold. We see selfish filth, racial incrustations, money mania and class idolatry. We see the soiled fabric of Twentieth Century morals. Justice is more effectively blindfolded, Truth is again crushed to the earth, Honor lies dead on the battlefield, Love is being choked into insensible hatred. The cause we ask? The cause we query? The answer flashes back to us in the philosophy of the quaint old writer. Small souls of smaller men. We query if selfishness, hatred and prejudice are real human elements. We query if blood lust is the salient production of civilization? We query if small souls are the heritages and legacies of Mankind? The query is answered by reflective reasoning and deductive analysis of fact. We normally are born into the world untarnished and undefiled. We are taught and trained how to think, how to act and what to love and what to eschew. The German is taught to love the Fatherland, to worship the Kaiser, to hate England and to worship money. The Englishman is taught to love power, Rule Brittania, rule the waves, to hate Ireland and India. To distrust America, France and Germany. The Russian is taught to hate the Jew, to free the peasants, to fear the law and to save Russia. The Japanese is taught to love Japan, to hate the white man, to aim at power and to prepare for war. The American is taught to hate the Negro, to worship money, to honor titles, to feel all superior and achieve power. In brief resume, the great nations of the world think in terms of power, self-idolatry and money. The great nations of the world so think because public opinion demands it. The public opinion of the world then is clearly perverted. The opinion that men and nations bow and fawn before is the evil creation and machination of their great group leaders. Those great leaders of factions, parties and organizations. These great leaders are carnal minded, materialistically inclined, saturated with selfish lust. These great leaders have small souls, so small that they may be easily transplanted into their adherent's breasts unnoticeably. Once, however, transplanted these small souls begin their destructive careers and vandalism and lust run rampant over the land. Since Germany has been crushed and Russia has thrown off the yoke, America has become the haven of small soul sentiment. The national soul of America is so minute that men can be burned and tortured and blood can run through her great thoroughfares and the American soul will not be subjected to remorseful pangs. Small souls have always been destroyed. Small souls have always been crushed out. We are waiting for the era of large souls and great love. IT WILL COME. The fringe of the future hangs heavy. PASS THE DYER BILL When the Dyer anti-lynching bill passed the House of Representatives in the United States Congress one of the most important pieces of legislation since the Emancipation Proclamation was brought nearer to a successful end. The Dyer Bill, sponsored by Congressman Dyer and supported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will mark a change in the status of the black man if it is also favorably accepted by the Senate. The terror of lyinching and mob violence has paralyzed the economic, political and intellectual development of the black man in America, and once this blot is removed from the face of Anglo-American civilization the black man will forthwith begin an upgrade journey towards the pinnacle which other Americans have reached. The N. A. A. C. P. has correctly analyzed the race problem to this extent—the paramount evil of America and the most stultifying force in operation against the black man is lynching and mob outlawry. It is hoped that the Dyer Bill will be accepted by all good Americans as the culmination of America's arch sin. TORIAL IAL HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith THE LIVER The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It is situated upper part of the abdominal cavity. In the adult the liver weighs from three and one-fourth pounds, or about one-fortieth of the weight of the body. By Dr. Troy Smith THE LIVER The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It is situated in the upper part of the abdominal cavity. In the adult the liver weighs from three to three and one-fourth pounds, or about one-fortieth of the weight of the body, and is somewhat heavier in the male than the female, its weight being in the former from fifty to fifty-five ounces and in the later forty-three to forty-eight ounces. The liver not only has an enormous size, but it has many important functions to perform. The older writers of physiology thought that the liver had only one function to perform, and that was secrete bile or gall, but at the present day, we recognize six important functions of the liver. Functions of the Liver. (1) The secretion of bile by the liver into the intestines which mixes with the food and aids in the digestion of the fats and prevents the decomposition of food products. (2) The liver is also a storehouse for fats; as it can be called upon when the body has need for fats, to supply that which it has stored away for a rainy day. (3) The formation of glycogen or animal starch from the starches of the food and certain constituents in proteins and storing the same. Glycogen is a great source for heat and energy. (4) From meats, eggs and the protein of vegetables and grain, the liver forms urea. This chemical is very important in the animal metabolism and is manufactured only by the liver. DR.

Glycogen is a great source for heat and energy. (4) From meats, eggs and the protein of vegetables and grain, the liver forms urea. This chemical is very important in the animal metabolism and is manufactured only by the liver. (5) The liver also destroys certain red blood cells. (6) This organ also acts as a protector against certain poisons that are eaten or brought into the body by others means. Were it not for this protective power of the liver there would be more sufferers of food poisoning than there are at present. Disturbance of the Function of the Liver. When any of the above functions of the liver are disturbed the body pays the penalty and various symptoms are manifested. Symptoms that are commonly attributed to an inactive liver are "bilious attacks," coated tongue and a bad taste in the mouth. There may be distress or pain in the stomach, and not infrequently there is vomiting. There may be some tenderness in the region of the liver. Various spots may appear on the skin or the skin may take on a yellowish color often spoken of as yellow jaundice. The nervous symptoms of an inactive liver are often well marked, and consist in headaches, vertigo, malaise, poor sleep, irritability, depression, and an inability to concentrate thought upon work.

Mr. Editor: I am in the grocery business and have a partner. Last month, after the store had closed for the night and I had retired to the rear of the store where I lived he returned to the store and without my knowledge or the knowledge of anyone in my home, he succeeded in taking two barrels of flour, two strips of bacon and so forth from the store. He has never admitted taking the goods but I have proof that he took them. Can he be charged with any crime? Answer: No. Your partner committed no crime—not even embezzlement. He is not only an agent for the other partner or partners, but is also as respects all partnership matters a principal; and while the manner of his taking the goods is reprehensible—yet as far as any crime is concerned he had a right to take them, and the manner of taking is not material. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP When the Knickerbocker Theater was destroyed in Washington last week President Harding spoke in wonderment at the "revolving fates" and lamented the sad and appalling disaster. We join the nation in bemoaning the terrible tragedy of Washington. Even the most cruel sinner reflects upon the "revolving fates" and the terrible toll that was taken in the Jim Crow theater. It puzzles us nevertheless to conceive of Harding's state of mind after the great disaster in Tulsa. Where were the revolving fates then, Mr. President? Why was he silent then? Several of our republican congressmen voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Of course, we expected it, but it grieves us to feel that the men whom we have reverenced and honored, whom we have idolized and worshipped, would thrust the dagger of prejudicial venom into us. Race hatred is carried to Nth degree when it condones by implication the burning and mutilation of human beings. These same men will support a league of nations for perpetual peace and advocate disarmament. Wormwood. In the recent war against the "Shimmy Craze" and the Jazz Music our ministers and moralists have been superb in their silence. The black people of America are filled to the overflow with Jazz and suggestive dances. We can ill afford to permit these disintergrating influences to destroy us. And it behooves the ministry to lead the charges. No race can emancipate itself from vice and deprivation if the leaders are submerged in apathy and unconcern. Mayor Thompson and his hand-picked candidates expect to control the political situation in the next election. As usual, he expects his supports among the black people to remain loyal and true to his machine. It is an insult to intelligence, however, to imagine that they are unmindful of his attitude to them during the bomb war and the Ku Klux's advance. He haunt't spoken against either of these infernal institutions yet. The five-cent fare slogan may be a good political horse all right, but it may throw the mayor in April. Functions of the Liver. A. B. Editor's Mail THE PATTERSON APPOINTMENT To Chicago Whip. 4820 S. State St., Chicago. Gentleman:—I noticed an article in the last issue of your paper in which it was stated that Mr. A. E. Patterson was appointed Register of the United States Treasury with the understanding that he resign after appointment was associated at that time with Mr. Patterson and knew of the situation. The fact Major Patterson was not under promise to resign the position of Register of the United States Treasury after appointment, but his withdrawal was urged by Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who was responsible for Mr. Patterson's nomination, when it became apparent that the blind senator was about to lose his chance for re-election because of his interest in Mr. Patterson. The whole state of Oklahoma rose up against Senator Gore and openly threatened him with defeat if Mr. Patterson's appointment was confirmed. It was then that Senator Gore and other friends of Mr. Patterson in the senate urged him to withdraw, believing that his confirmation would mean Senator Gore's defeat. Thanking you for correcting the error, I am. A. H. UNDERDOWN, Washington, D. C. How Much Of This Is Bunk? How Much Of This Is Bunk? PLAYING WITH DYNAMITE. The Committee of Fifteen did a good job for public decency when it exposed conditions at the Entertainer's Cafe and the decision of Judge Heap should make certain that this resort remain a thing of the past. It was not only vicious in its influence, it was even worse. It was a powder magazine. It brought bad elements of the white and colored people together under inflammatory conditions and eventually that was certain to bring about a race collision, which might easily have the most terrible consequences. What is true of the Entertainer's café is true of other similar resorts called "black and tan." They are a continuing menace of the most serious character, especially to our reputable colored residents, who might be the chief sufferers from an outbreak of race passion. The Tribune has repeatedly called attention to this evil and we hope public opinion will make itself felt so emphatically that the city authorities will be compelled to clean up thoroughly.-Chicago Tribune Y.M.C.A.News February Sunday Speakers Announced The religious work of the Wabash Avenue Department Y. M. C. A. is gaining in intensity. Strong speakers are announced for the regular four o'clock Sunday Men's Meeting during the month of February. Rev. James A. Stout, of Carter's Temple, will speak next Sunday. Rev. G. W. Waber, of Trinity M. Church, will speak the following Sunday. Rev. William Edward Williams of Hope Presbyterian Church, will speak on the last Sunday of the month. These speakers will not bring "warmed over sermons" but come each Sunday with a challenge to young men. A ferment of interest in Bible study is evident among the membership showing itself in increasing attendance at the Bible classes. The outstanding activity of the week is the "Four C" Campaign being staged at Wendell Phillips High School under the auspices of the Hi Y Club. Clean speech, clean habits, clean scholarship and clean athletics are being emphasized in assemblies, division rooms and elsewhere by such speakers as Dr. Gilkey, "two minute men" by posters and themes. Two teams of "twirlers" with Mr. Bryant and Mr. Searcy gave the trip to Gary last week and met lives of local "Y" boys at the Froebel High School under the auspices of Mr. Craft and his growing work in Gary. The gymnasium at the Wabash building has been busy during the week not alone with basketball but also with baseball of the indoor variety. Division St. teams competing with Wabash avenue players drew good crowds. Since the first of the year the department has been girding up its strength for the annual financial campaign. The staff, committeemen, and friends have during the past week canvassed the community, in some districts going from store to store in an effort to raise the amount needed to underwrite the year's budget. Next week a full report will be given as to the success of the effort. WEATHER CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 28, 1922. Weather outlook for the period of January 30 to February 4, 1922.

The Optimist BY ETHYL LEWIS Never mind, children, be patient awhile, And carry your load with a nod and a smile, For out of the hell and the hard of it all, Time is sure to bring sweetest honey—not gall. Out of the hell and the hard of it all, A bright star shall rise that never shall fall: A God-fearing race—proud, noble, and true, Giving good for the evil which they always knew. So dry your wet pillow and lift your bowed head And show to the world that hope is not dead! Be patient! Wait! See what yet may befall, Out of the hell and the hard of it all. BOOK REVIEW BOOK REVIEW By Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "THE NEGRO CONQUEST OF FRANCE" By Norman Angell, an article in the Freeman for January 11, Published at 116 West 13th Street, New York City Price 15 Cents. I am turning from books to a magazine article that seems to me of especial significance. Mr. Norman Angell is a well known English writer, who has broad views on international questions. He attended some of the sessions of the Pan African Congress both in London and in Paris. This article is of great importance because it shows us clearly what those who attended the Pan African Congress observed, that the French Negro is first a Frenchman and second a Negro. I quote Mr. Angell: "The English speaking group (at the congress) habitually spoke of themselves as "we Negroes" while those from French territory spoke of themselves as "we Frenchmen." This, as Mr Angell goes on to explain comes from the fact that Frague draws no color line. The Negro members of the Chamber of Deputies, for instance, or of the legal profession have not only no official difficulties, they have no social difficulties in their relationship with their white colleagues: "They dine in the homes of members of the cabinets, plead for white clients in the courts, and it would never even occur to their French colleagues to treat them with any sort of social exclusion." France has managed to make these men and countless other Africans feel that they are all French in spirit and feeling as well as in law. Mr. Angell finds something fine about this "from the merely moral or sentimental aspect" but he wants us to consider it politically. And what does it mean politically? To Mr. Angell it means this: That hereafter the success of France means Negro success, and that the French Negroes, wiser than the visionaries who talk of a consolidarity of the black race, have France to fight their battles for better treatment the world over. The French Negro leader thought, as Mr. Angell conceives it from the meetings of the congress but still more from private conversation, is something like this: "There is THE FAMOUS POLICY WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS 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. This is the policy of the Chicago Whip, it was written by the Editor shortly after the paper made its appearance. With this policy coupled with brilliant writers, the Chicago Whip now is recognized as the most complete eight page paper published in the interest of black people. You will enjoy the editorials and the Editor's optimism which overcomes the philosophical bitterness of a keen thinker. You will enjoy the features especially Nosey, whose human interest investigations are a new departure. Don't Miss a Single Copy. Read the Whip. Writing a great instrument of power which can be used for the defense of Negro interest and right within our reach if we play our cards properly. That instrument is the political and military power of France. We possess in African conscription the wherewith to bargain for the placing of French power—and France is the predominant military State in the world—on the side of Negro right. Let us look at a few facts. "The French army is already one third Negro. The birth rate of France is stationary. But the birth rate of the Negro is not stationary. There is one way and only one by which France can maintain a permanent parity of power with her age-long enemy, Germany, and that is with the help of the African Negro. We Negroes therefore hold the balance of power in the greatest quarrel in Western civilization. What more could we ask as an instrument for securing our rights in the world? France shall be our spokesman among the white powers. When on the next occasion a colored nation, whether Asiatic or African, demands as a principle, say, of the League of Nations, the recognition of racial equality, and when some new Mr. Wilson, as the protagonist of democracy, chooses to oppose that principle, then France shall stand upon it. She shall stand upon it because that will be the one condition of her being able to put any reliance upon her largest military raw material. In any vital Negro question, this greatest of the military powers will support us. We must ask a large price for our military support; and that is the greatest political asset of the Negro race today." So Mr. Angell interprets the Negro in France and the willingness of the great mass of Negroes in the African possessions, who ten years ago did not know the Rhine from the Congo, to accept the leadership of their black Frenchmen in high office and be conscripted to fight in Europe. This is "The Negro conquest of France" a political conquest that may be of far reaching significance to all of Europe. And yet is that just what Mr. Angell means by the Negro Conquest? He has a footnote, one that he intends to be sinister. In it he suggests a racial conquest of France, a mingling of black and white blood. Is this his conquest? You must read it and make your own judgment. At any rate it is a significant article, perhaps, the best of a number of articles of liberal tendency published recently in The Freeman.
