Chicago Whip

Wm. C. Linton, Founder Of The Chicago Whip, Dies PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. IV.—No. 12. DR. P WM. C. LINTON SUCCUBMS TO ILLNESS Loses Heroic Fight Against Disease; Laid To Rest In Atlanta, Ga. William C. Linton, founder and co-editor of the Chicago Whip, died early Sunday morning at a health resort in Asheville, N. C., where he had gone nearly a year ago to regain his training health. He was 29 years of age. In the early spring of 1921 his health began to tail. Signs of hisailing health alarmed his friends who urged him to drop his work at once and take a complete rest. He refused to leave his post of duty, however, and remained actively engaged in his work until a collapse struck him in mid-summer. He hung on to life with a tenacity that astonished physicians who long since gave up hope for his recovery. Mr. Linton came to Chicago in 1917 after he had resigned from the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines, refusing to accept what he termed a "Jim Crow" officer's commission in the United States Army, then engaged in the World war. He immediately became prominent in civic and political life, associating himself with Oscar DePriest in the organization of The People's Movement. He was also associated with R. W. Hunter in the Hunter banks. In 1919 he conceived the idea of bounding an independent newspaper, unshackled by political or factional entanglements. So audacious and daring was the policy of the new paper that it immediately won recognition throughout the country, and became the recognized leader of the "new Negro movement" which urged the awakening of racial consciousness. The editorial columns of the paper attracted immediate attention by the manner in which it clearly and tearlessly diagnosed the problems of the day, both local and national. At the last aldermanic election Mr. Linton was urged to run for office. His opponents, in apparent despair at the prospect of being unable to defeat him at the polls, caused his disqualification as a candidate by taking advantage of a technicality in the filing of his petition. William C. Linton was born near Atlanta, Ga. He was the son of the Rev. T. J. Linton, a prominent minister and presiding elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He studied at Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga., and at Syracuse University, New York. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning from Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga. He is survived by his father, the Rev. T. J. Linton, a brother, and his wife, Mrs. Emerald Linton, of Chicago. Bankers' Creditors Jam Courtroom BALTIMORE, MD., March 25.—Creditors of the bankrupt firm of Brown & Wingate jammed the United States District Court last week to find out how much of $38,000 on deposit in the bank had been saved from the wreck. Banker T. T. Brown, who disappeared with the crash of the bank, was expected to appear in court, but his creditors were disappointed, as he failed to appear. The books of the bank show liabilities of $72,000. A trustee was appointed by the court and put under $15,000 bond. Sheriff Held For Freeing Women MONROE, LA., March 25.—Sheriff Grant is charged by District Attorney David I. Garrett with having released from jail Henrietta Spangler, charged with a statutory offense, after the woman had been convicted and sentenced to six months in prison. The sheriff admitted the charge, but said that he had no idea that he was committing any offense when he released her. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY Into the Great Beyond [Portrait of a young man in formal attire, with a serious expression, set against a plain background. The image is framed with decorative borders.]] WILLIAM C. LINTON Hoped Train Would Hide Wife's Murder Hoped Train Mystery In Would Hide Hanging At Wife's Murder Indianapolis MEMPHIS, TENN. March 25—When an Illinois Central belt line train ran over the body of a woman Sunday night at the crossing of Castel Avenue it seemed strange to the trainmen that the feet of the body were cold, even though they went back to the body immediately. It seemed so strange that they reported the case to Don Walton of the road's secret service. Monday Walton arrested the husband of the woman, Joe Neely, at his home on Rayburn boulevard. Now, officers state, Joe has clarified the entire situation with the statement that he carved the woman to death with a razor and then left the body there for the train to run over in the hope that that would be considered the cause of her death. The statement which Joe is said to have given out at the jail is to the effect that when he went home Sunday his wife was not there, but Joe happened to pick up and read a note from the center table. The note simply said, "I will meet you at the Castel Avenue crossing tonight." Joe got a friend and went out to the old Magnolia Park section. He claims that there he saw his wife with a man and while his friends fired a few shots, he proceeded to cut the wife with his razor. When she was dead he put the body on the tracks. This, he stated, was some four hours before the next train passed along that track. Joe is charged with murder in the first degree. Ex-Slave Live To Age Of 122 MT. VERNON, ILL., March 25. Mrs. Margaret Edmison, said to be 122 years of age. She was born at Richmond, Va. Mystery In Hanging At Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS, IND., March 25. Mystery still surrounds the hanging of a man partially identified as George Tompkins near Casino Gardens Thursday afternoon. The man's body was found leaning against a tree on the banks of the White River. The body, with the hands tied behind the back, was still warm. A grass rope was about the man's neck, and although the rope was tied from the branches of the tree the feet were resting on the round, and the body was leaning against the tree. Police who responded to an emergency call, failed to find any trace of the lynchers. According to one theory, Thompkins met his death at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan. Others believe that he died as a result of war among a gang of bootleggers. A few investigators were inclined to the belief that the man committed suicide. Police, however, asserted it would have been impossible for the man to have committed suicide with his hands tied behind him. The scene of the murder is near the Casino Gardens, a popular after-theatre resort in Riverside Park, not far from the Indianapolis Speedway. Open Fight On Dyer Bill Opponent DETROIT, MICH., March 25. According to a letter written by the N. A. A. C. P. to the most important Michigan papers, a spirited fight is to be waged against Patrick J. Kelley, who is contesting the seat of Senator Townsend, of Michigan, in the United States Senate. The fight on Kelley is to be made because he voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill in the House of Representatives. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, MARCH 25th, 1922 SEEKS DIVORCE "50,000 Votes Price Of My Life"--Mays NASHVILLE, TENN., March 25.—Gov. Taylor has been told that he will lose 50,000 votes if he saves me from the death chair.” This was the startling declaration made by Maurice Mays just before he was electrocuted for the alleged murder of Mrs. Bettie Lindsay, white, in Knoxville in 1919. General James A. Fowler, counsel for the condemned man, informed him that all hope for executive clemency had faded shortly before dawn of the death day. Late in the afternoon of the day preceding his execution, Mays was led to the death house, where his head was clean shaven preparatory to administering the death shock. He was strong in his denunciation of the governor for refusing to grant a further stay after lawyers had declared that additional evidence had been discovered. General Fowler, his white lawyer, said: “My interest in behalf of Maurice Mays is due to my absolute belief in his innocence.” “I am as innocent as the sun that shines,” said Mays and addressing the warden he stated: “You are not a murderer and I am not a murderer.” Upon the advice of his spiritual advisors, Mays tore up a note that he had written earlier in the night, said to have been a denunciation of Gov. Taylor His last written message was in the form of a toast as follows: To My Friends Everywhere. Good-bye, (Signed) Maurice E. Mays, "Death House, State Prison, Nashville, Tenn., March 15, 1922." Mays was charged with the murder of Mrs. Bettie Lindsey (white) in Knoxville, Tenn., August 30th, 1919. SOUTHERNER HURLS ANTI-LYNCH APPEAL INTO WASTE BASKET MONTGOMERY, ALA, March 25.—An appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for his support of the antilynching bill already passed by the national House of Representatives went into the waste basket in the office of Harwell G. Davis, attorney general of Alabama, Friday afternoon. The association sent Mr. Davis a memorial already prepared which it asked the attorney general to sign. This memorial nailed upon Congress to pass the anti-lynching bill and said "the killing and burning alive of human beings by mobs in the United States is a reaproach upon our country throughout the civilized world and threatens organized government in the nation." Bert Williams' Entire Estate To His Wife NEW YORK CITY, March 25.—The entire estate of Bert Willemus, which was filed in the Surrogate Court for probate, was left to his wife. The will is reported to have been drawn at the insistence of his friends only a month before his death. He is said to have signed it upon his death bed. Notify Daugherty Of Ku Klux Threat DENVER, COLO., March 25.—Atty.-General Daugherty has been notified of a Ku Klux Klan threat against George W. Gross, of this city, who received a threatening letter because he filed a protest against the application made by the Klan for incorporation. Gross is president of the Denver branch. N. A. A. C. P. COLLECTION DIMES STUCK TO HIS HANDS Treasurer With Sticky Fingers Held Under Bond For Embezzlement Investigation into the manner in which he has handled the funds of Bethel A. M. E. Church led to the arrest of R. A. Jackson, 5308 Wabash Ave, late last week. He was haled into Harrison Street Court Monday morning on a charge of embezzlement. Judge Fetzer of the Municipal Court continued the case to April 3, holding Jackson in $5,000 bonds. Jackson was taken into custody by Detective Armstrong after an inspection of his books by the Keystone Detective Agency revealed irregularities extending over a number of years. As treasurer of the church, Jackson was entrusted with the church's weekly collections. Entries are missing for many Sundays in a row, however, it is said. On several occasions Jackson would withdraw money from the bank and then redeposit it, in order to make the records show that he had made a deposit, say the investigators of the Keystone Agency. A deictic of $2,043.32 has been discovered so far. It is believed that the treasurer withheld several hundred dollars in addition, of which the church has no record. Treasury Always Short It became an item of particular notice that no matter how large the collection, there was never enough in the treasury to pay off the church obligations. Certain members of the church went so far as to declare that they saw Jackson "coping coins" from the collection plate. The executive board also found that of $1,400 raised at a particular rally, only $500 ever reached the church treasury. Frisk His Pockets. On January 22nd two of the trustees are said to have noticed that Jackson slipped coin from the plates into his pocket. When he went into a side room to count the collection, the door was locked and Treasurer Jackson was "frisked." $1.80 in dimes poured from his inside pocket. The auditing committee includes Dr. A. J. Offord, R. H. McGavock and Dr. M. M. Dillard. May Implicate Higher-Ups. Investigators insist that Jackson could not have embezzled the amount of money he is charged with, without the connivance of other officials of the church. So far Jackson has refused to implicate others in his defalcation. It is rumored, however, that at the trial Jackson will make a clean breast of the affair, and name other officials of the church who shared with him the stolen funds. Gilpin Spurns Jim Crow Car, Takes Auto WINCHESTER, VA., March 25. When a Pennsylvania train left West Virginia and swung into the jim crow continues of Virginia, "the Old Dominion State," the conductor approached Charles Gilpin, star of Emperor Jones, and informed him that according to the law, he would have to retire to the "jim crow" coach. Gilpin attempted to argue the question, but the conductor remained obdurate. Gilpin then refused to submit to humiliation, and left the train at Clearbrook, the first stop in Virginia. He chartered an automobile and completed the trip to Winchester. Gilpin was traveling with his company, which is producing the sensational drama, "Emperor Jones." When the controversy arose, the members of his company, all of whom are white, sided with Gilpin. Most of them left the train with him and completed the journey by automobile. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly DIVOR ORCE "Come To Drive Me Off Land With Guns" NEW YORK CITY, March 25. —Peonage flourishes in Arkansas, according to a letter received last week by the N. A. A. C. P. The association has made public a letter from an illiterate farmer who declares that farmers are compelled to work without being consulted about the amount of rent to be taken from their produce, or about supplies furnished them. “Mr. _____ is promised to furnish us money,” says the letter, “but he is done changed an furnishing coupon books to his croppers. Mr. _____ will just come out from town an write us out what he want us to have, never ask us what we want nor nothing so he ain’t doing us right. I cleaned up a 40 (acre section) in the south half of 22, an the officers from Forrest City come and drove me off of the land come with their pistols an made me move an had paid $68 dollars down on the land an please take steps on this such things is what got the people stirred up—” The Advancement Association announced that the letter would be called to the attention of the federal Department of Justice. MILLION KLUX VOW BULLOCK MUST RETURN HICKORY, N. C., March 25.—Having been thwarted at every turn in efforts to bring Matthew Bullock back to lynch-ridden North Carolina through the orderly process of law, the Ku Klux Klan now openly announces its intention to kidnap the man and bring him back by force, irrespective of the laws of Canada. Such was the substance of a lecture by Dr. Arthur T. Abernathy, white, of Ashville, lecturer for the Ku Klux Klan, in a speech made here last week. Dr. Abernathy declared that 1,000,000 Klansmen from Maine to Texas had been pledged to see to it that Bullock is returned to North Carolina for trial. "And this will happen in the next 90 days," he added. While Abernathy did not mention the name of the man he said was sought by authorities of this state, the audience understood him to refer to Matthew Bullock, wanted at Norlina on a charge of attempted murder growing out of a race riot at that place about a year ago. Bullock was recently given his liberty by Judge Snyder at Hamilton, Ont., where he was arrested, when Governor Morrison refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify at his extradition hearing. Dr. Abernathy had been discussing the efforts, he said, that the Ku Klux Klan were making to assist the officers in enforcing the law. He referred to a case in Ashville, in which he said a negro was sent to the road through the efforts of the klan and cotted out of that city by Klansmen. It was near the close of his address that the speaker referred to the Canadian case. He did not mention what measure would be taken to have the negro brought back to North Carolina. RALEIGH, N. C., March 25—"I know absolutely nothing about it and have no comment to make." This is all that Governor Morrison would say regarding the statement made by Dr. Arthur T. Abernathy at Hickory that 1,000,000 Klansmen were pledged to see that a man believed to be Matthew Bullock is brought back to North Carolina from Canada to stand trial on charges preferred against him in this state. --- WIFE SIPPED LOVE AS HE PREACHED Pastor Names Municipal Court Clerk As Man Who Violated Home A series of startling complaints has been made against his wife, Mrs. Katherine J. Prince, by the Rev. Boston J. Prince, formerly pastor of the Provident Baptist Church, Leavitt and Walnut Sts., in divorce proceedings filed early this week in the Coor County Superior Court. Dr. Prince, who is one of the most prominent ministers in the city, recently resigned from the pastorate of the Provident Baptist Church at the request of the church board. Names Court Clerk. In his bill against Mrs. Prince, the pastor charges her with infidelity and improper relations with William Randolph Smith, 2339 Fulton St. Smith, a clerk in the Municipal Court of Chicago. In the bill for divorce, Dr. Prince recites that "in all respects he demeaned himself as a kind and indulgent husband, and that on January 30, becoming acquainted with the facts on which he bases his plea for a divorce, he left his wife, and has refused to live and cohabit with her since that time." "Utter Disregard of Obligation." Dr. Prince charges Mrs. Prince with "utter disregard of her marriage duty and obligation in her relation with Smith." In addition to Smith, the minister charges Mrs. Prince with improper relations with many other men, whose names are unknown to him. Uses Home as Rendezvous Injury was added to insult, recites the preacher, because the acts of infidelity occurred in the home of Dr Prince, 215 N. Leavitt St. He names March 22nd, 1921, as one date on which the offense occurred while he was conducting services at his church. On July 26, 1921, Smith again visited Mrs. Prince at her home while her husband was in Idlewild Mich., for his health. Again on January 30, 1922, the pastor charges that while he was conducting religious services at his church, Smith was making love to his wife in her home. So completely had Smith overwhelmed Mrs. Prince, charges her husband, that she was often seen openly embracing and kissing him on the streets. Dr. Prince is represented by Atty. John H. Randle, 2460 West Lake St. Bullet Ends 13 Years Of Married Life After thirteen years of married life, Mrs. Caroline Hall took a pistol and nuffed out the life of her husband, arm Hall, at their home, 737 E. 39th St., late Saturday night. Hall, who was a laborer, was forty years of age. There were no witnesses to the slaying, and at the coroner's inquest, held Monday, at the undertaking parlor of Crook & Jones, Mrs. Hall refused to testify, preferring to face charges in court. She was held for indictment on a charge of manslaughter. Neighbors about the vicinity of the home of the Halls testified that Hall and his wife quarrelled violently and often. An unconfirmed report indicated that the two were quarrelling over the kind of meat for Snudy dinner. It was also charged that both Hall and his wife were drinking moonshine whiskey, and that Hall was intoxicated at the time he was shot. The bullet penetrated his brain. EIGHT PAGES Names Court Clerk --- 2 DOUBT TEXAS MAN'S CONFESSION OF HEINOUS CRIME SAN ANTONIO, TEX. March 25. Texas, always so eager to pin the badge of crime on a black man, is for once nonplussed, and refuses to take a man's word that he assaulted and horribly murdered a young white girl. The whole state wonders why he insists that he is the criminal when it has been almost conclusively proved that he was in another town at the time of the crime. The man is Luther Jamison, of Corpus Christi, who was brought here for safe keeping. A dispatch states that Corpus Christi officers left for Rockport to investigate statements of Arans county officials and employees that Jamison wos working in that county when Blanche Perrigue was killed near Corpus February 21. The investigation by Rockport officials, they say, shows that Jamison, who avidly and convincingly confessed, when brought to the scene of the tragedy, most accurate details of what transpired February 21, was all that day safe at work at Rockport. This statement was on the authority of Aransas County Judge Joe A. Harper, Jamison being on the payroll of the county. A peculiar thing about the Rockport investigation was the fact that it was begun to show that the Corpus crime was a parallel with a similar tragedy three years ago at Rockport. But greatly to the surprise of officers, all evidence pointed to the fact that Jamison, or his double, had been at work in Rockport, the place in which he was living shortly after the crime. Told Crime Details. Only this much is possible, officers say: There is some unaccountable alibi for Jamison, some mistake somewhere, or the man is innocent—in which case, they say, he has developed one of the most peculiar twists of insanity ever brought to record. What motive, they ask, could had induced him, when he was captured and led to the scene of the crime, to sow and swear that he was guilty, even after officials told him that such was impossible. There, but a short distance from town, Jamison stood and told, detail by detail, the horrible incidents that he saw or imagined; how he had warned the 16-year-old girl upon her approach to flee; how she had thrown a stone at him, and how, he, impassioned and enraged, had pursued her, and, upon catching her, held and violated her, finally cutting her throat to the spine—then dragging the body awaver and covering it with weeds. The last act, he said, was to go to the seashore and there wash out his bloody clothes. In all, it was a story so gruesomely realistic that, officers felt, there could not be the slightest shadow of doubt, and furthermore, they had suspected him in the first place, so his confession was not merely voluntary; it was in a measure, they reason, forced. Everything was so complete—the description matched that given by Mexicans who had seen a mulatto departing from the crime scene—that, tearing mob violence, officials brought him to San Antonio. BOYER RECOMMENDED BY VOTERS' LEAGUE Thomas A. Boyer, popularly known as "Tom" Boyer, who since his coming to Chicago from Washington, Iowa, in 1882, has lived continuously in the Stock Yards District and is now a Republican candidate for County Commissioner. As a young man he has worked in the Stock Yards District and has worked in several departments of Cook County, principally as teller in the County Treasurer's Office and as deputy clerk in the Circuit Court. He was elected representative from the Fourth Senatorial District to the 48th, 49th and 50th General Assemblies. The Legislative Voters' League makes the following report: "Thomas A. Boyer, representative (Rep.), packing house products, 700 West Garfield Boulevard, Chicago. Ending his third term with a first-class record. Mr. Boyer deserves especial credit for the efficient manner in which he handled the incidental expense committee of the House. He was largely instrumental in the saving of more than $100,000 in the cost of operation of the legislature as compared to the cost of the preceding session. His general voting record was very good." A vote for him at the primaries, April 11, means a vote for one who has served and served faithfully and for a man that can be counted upon where our interests are concerned.

Suppress Book Telling About Lee's Flight ATLANTA, GA., March 25, 1922.—The Junior Order of the United American Mechanics recently adopted a resolution requesting the Atlanta Board of Education to condemn the use of the "Human Interest Library" in the public schools. The request runs as follows, quoted verbatim: "The latter two forms of said work criticizes our beloved Southland for its part in the war between the states; goes so far as to praise torious raider and sets him upon a pedestal of martyrdom, and further has the arrogance to allege that the immortal Robert E. Lee ran from General Ulysses Grant and quotes Abraham Lincoln as declaring that he considered the Negro his equal." Superintendent Sutton of the Atlanta schools hastened to say that the adopted book list did not include the Human Interest Library and that he would look into the matter to see just what the nature of the book was. He stated definitely, "I would not approve the use of any book that reflected in any manner on any of our Southern heroes or our Southern history." Thomas Jefferson in speaking of slavery said he trembled for his country when he reflected that God was just and that his justice could not sleep forever. John Mason, another Southerner, said, "as much as I value a Union of all states, I would not admit the Southern states into the Union unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful traffic because it brings weakness, not strength to the Union." Davis, the president of the Confederacy, says, "The idea of slavery is repellent to the moral sense of mankind in general." Another Southerner, and a woman at that, writes to the Richmond Times Dispatch as follows: "This prating by the Times Dispatch about the relation of slave and master is simply trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the coming generation by conceding the truth about the horrors of the traffic in human flesh, of the buying and selling of souls, of the degredation of a part of the human race." An instance is also recalled concerning Elson's History of the United States. Professor Elson also did not hesitate to state facts, even though they were distasteful to the South. In this instance the authorities of the college were forced to discontinue the use of the text book. This is education in the South. Women Shield Africans From British Bullets LONDON, March 25.—Twenty natives were killed and thirty wounded at Nairobi, British East Africa, Friday in fighting which followed demonstrations over the arrest of the Indian agitator, Thuku, says a Central News dispatch. Thuku was arrested Wednesday and trouble immediately followed. About 1,000 natives armed with sticks assembled before the police station and demanded his release, but were dispersed by police forces, who used their bayonets. Early Friday a strike of houseboys and other native workers was announced and further disturbances occurred in which large numbers from the surrounding district participated. Mobs halted rickshaws and forced all Europeans to alight and walk. The efforts of armed police to clear the streets failed. When the situation became menacing the riot act was read and the demonstrators were exhorted to disperse quietly. Instead, they advanced toward the police palisade, waving flags and shouting. Women were used as shields by the men to delay the police fire. Meanwhile military forces had arrived. When the mob attempted to rush the palisade, the troops were ordered to fire. Seeing fifty of their number cut down by the bullets, the remainder of the mob stamped. The demonstrations then ceased.

CO., 640 North West St. Indianapolis, Ind. Wealth Of Experience C. H. John F. Devine, clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County, is a candidate for re-nomination and re-election to that office on the Republican ticket at the coming primaries on April 11. If training and experience were the sole qualification for public office in Cook County, he should be re-nominated at the primaries in April and re-elected in November by the largest majorities ever given in Cook County. His record as public administrator of Cook County from 1907 to 1912 as chairman of the Republican Committee from 1912 to 1914 as chief deputy recorder of Cook County from 1916 to 1918, and as clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County from 1918 to 1922 has shown conclusively that he has the training and experience necessary to serve the public to the best possible advantage. His honesty, capability, efficiency and courtesy have been reflected in the administration of his present office as clerk of the Probate Court. His executive ability, combined with good common sense, has given him a record or which he can rely, without having to tear down the reputations or records of others. His strongest endorsements come from those who have had to do business with his office during the last four years. He has shown the public that he appreciates their confidence by giving a real administration of his office. A vote for John E. Devine at the Republican primaries will be an encouragement to all public servants to do what is right in public office. 'MEN' Are rejoicing. The worry of shaving and razor infections is past.

March 25 — Two months ago Little Velina Lawrence of Georgetown, Ill., twelve miles from this city, drank a monthful of concentrated live. Today she is gradually starving to death—a veritable pack of skin and bones. The little girl gradually became weaker, and was taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital (white) by Dr. Binga Dismond, formerly of Chicago, where an operation may be necessary to save the child's life. It seems a miracle that death did not result immediately from the corrosive action of the poison. However, it seems as if the inner lining of the esophagus, the tube which leads from the mouth to the stomach, was badly burned, although immediately following the drinking of the poison, a Georgetown physician rendered first aid and neutralized the clients of the corrosive. The child was unable to swallow anything the first few days. After that, however, she got better and grew able to swallow fairly well and her parent thought she was a right again. About a month ago, however, she began to have difficulty again with swallowing. She wanted food but seemed afraid on account of the pain to attempt to swallow it. She attained and less, until at present she only able to take a sip at a time and often this is regurgitated up in a few seconds. The present trouble is due to a structure which has formed at the point where the live burned the esophagus two months ago, and is the result of scar-formation and this is gradually contracting and tinging of the esophagus just as effectually as if it were tied off with a loop of string. The child is now being kept alive. Find 14-Year-Old African Boy Wonder. SAN FRANCISCO, March 25—According to Miss Marse Jensen, missionary to the Congo, under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, Mutumun, a 14-year-old Negro boy of the Alinda tribe in Darkest Africa, is a marvel in languages and in the white man's learning. Mutumun speaks seven languages, Mbundu, Chituta Swahili, Bichokwe, Ibanok, Alinda (his native language) and English. He also writes in both the latter languages. Working with Miss Jensen, supervising, Mutumun translated nite Bible stories and more than a hundred laymen into the native language. He has learned to use the typewriter, and wants to complete his education in Europe or the United States. For Labor 10P Attorney Harris B.

My campaign will be made upon the platform of economy and efficiency in our government; the same standard of economy in spending public money that we use in our private affairs; for lower taxes, better car service and five-cent fares; better housing conditions and lower rents; public ownership of public utilities; strict enforcement of our civil service system; more liberal provisions and better conditions for the laboring classes, greater gratitude, a more liberal policy and a bonus to ex-service men; and a new deal and a square deal to all.

Army, participating in the campaign against hostile Indians from February 1881, to November, 1883, and was in the Illinois National Guard for 23 years. As lieutenant-colonel in the Eighth Illinois, he served in Cuba in the Spanish-American War and was Lieutenant-colonel in the 707th Intranty in the World War.

WILLIAMSON ENDERTAL GARAGE ACHIEVES SUCCESS IN MONUMENT TO BOOKER T. WASHINGTON By Wm. Anthony Aery. HAMPTON, VA., March 25—"Charles Keck, Sculptor"—these words appear inconspicuously on the base of the great bronze figure of the Booker T. Washington Monument, which will be unveiled on April 5 at Tuskegee Institute. They suggest, however, the story of an ambitious American boy, who, after leaving the public schools of New York City, went to the Art Students' League and studied at night for seven or eight years. Charles Keck has spared no time and no strength to get the results for which he has been striving. He has won distinctive success through his native talent and through his untiring and unending work. Booker Washington Bore a Race's Burdens To see Mr. Keck's figure of Booker T. Washington is to carry away the picture of a man who stood up straight and arm under the heavy burden of millions of Negroes, who carried in the deep lines of his forehead and face the signs of victorious struggle, and who cared less for clothes than for service to his fellow men. Mr. Keck has succeeded admirably in giving the world a statue of Booker T. Washington which is as simple, forceful, and enduring as the great founders and beloved principal of Tuskegee was simple, forceful, and enduring. The Booker T., Washington Monument which will be unveiled in the presence of a host of men and women who represent all that is best and most enduring in our American life, will tell to the end of time, a new-old story to those men and women who are wise enough to realize the fundamental value of honest work, enduring patience, and unfailing good will. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, president of the General Education Board, will deliver the Founder's Day address. Man Nearly Lynched By Mistake In Ga. KITE.

Drissdom was then removed to the jail at Wrightville, and the mob dispersed. 1930 August F. W. Siebel. Candidate for County Assessor.

OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS HUGGINS IN NEW ROLE AS PROFESSIONAL FEATURE WRITER The fire of scholarly attainment still burns in the breast of our old friend Huggins. To his laurel of be ing one of the few black men to receive the degree of master of arts in English and history from Columbia University. New York, he has added the distinction of being among the first to register in the Medill School of Journalism in Northwestern, University, Chicago, at its first session, two years ago. A. Special Feature Writer Mr. Huggins has kept busy. As a teacher in the public schools of New York City and later as teacher and social worker in the South for several years, he has gathered a great fund of material out of which he has begun to weave articles, both of fact and fiction. His close observations and careful investigations have placed at his disposal a great array of matter peculiarly adapted to special feature treatment. His present position as teacher in the Chicago public schools gives him a place of advantage from which to study the children of the masses who have come up from the South, a phase of our racial life to which we have not given sufficient attention. School Papers Under the direction of Prof. H. F. Harrington, Dean of the School of Journalism at Northwestern, Mr. Huggins is making an intensive study of the magazine, the special feature article, journalistic writing and the methods of conducting a school paper. His practical experience as newspaper per reporter and former magazine editor gives him special footing in this field.

Another provision extending its jurisdiction to "sacrilegious" matter was in the original bill but was cut out by the senate. It is interesting for those acquainted with the past history of Virginia to speculate what the decision of the censors would have been if this law had been effect when the "Birth of the Nation" came to Virginia cities. There is little doubt that the film of Thomas Dixon was obscene and less doubt that it was likely to incite racial antagonism if not crime, since it glorified the Ku Klux Klan.

THE CHEROKEE REMEDY CO. 3500 Wentworth Avenue Chicago Phone Boulevard 8529 4 Stands On Record 1910 Mathias A. Mueller, Republican candidate for renomination as Trustee of The Sanitary District and needs no introduction to Chicago voters. Everybody knows "Matt" Mueller. Born on a farm, coming to Chicago from Randolph County in 1883, he started his Chicago career in the employ of Jones & Stiles Packing Co. later going to Boyd Lindham Co. and then Swift & Co. In 1902, he was appointed Real Estate Deputy for The Board of Review, serving in that capacity until he was persuaded to accept the nomination for Alderman of the 29th Ward. He was elected and served with distinction. He organized the Lake Building Material Company, of which he was President for three years. Disposing of his interest in this company, he engaged in the real estate and insurance business under the name of Matt Mueller & Co., 5047 S. Ashland Ave. and which building he still conducts. He is also Treasurer of The Gruenne, Mueller Co. Notwithstanding his business activities, he found time for politics and has consistently represented his Ward in the Council of the Republican Party. In 1916, he was again honored by the voters of Cook County, being elected as Trustee of The Sanitary District in which office he has made an enviable record. He resides with his wife and two children at 5017 Wood St. He is a member of Hamilton Club German Club, and many other traternal and social organizations.

My record is clean and open at all times to inspection. "I have no statement to make as regards my opponent Mr. Adolph Marks, excepting to ask what has he done for THE PEOPLE? In view of several facts, and the many pledges I am certain of victory." Many church papers in the city have also took up the cry for Mr. Griffin for the Senate.

Since the Party at Walters" Choral presentation, last Sunday afternoon, many musical experts present, are discussing whether or not the bunch under Professor Taylor and Samuel MacAlpine are not entitled to a running for SECOND place in the First Line of the Big Eight. There were nearly 100 singers and violins and a saxophone. The house was packed—even if there was a rain storm without. "Listen to the Lambs." "Hear My Cry," and other big numbers were rendered with ease. If this bunch is second—then who has dropped to third? The next big musical and "The Party" will tell Watch.

Chero- LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO Under State Government Supervision 31st and South State Streets Telephone Victory 4500 Advocates Honesty J. A. W. H. James H. Lawley, Republican candidate for renomination as Trustee of the Sanitary District, is a product of Chicago, having received his primary education in our public schools and later graduating with honors from the Illinois College of Law. For the ten years he represented the 14th Ward in the City Council with marked ability, serving as chairman of the Finance Committee and acting as an influential member of other important council committees. Always advocating honesty and efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs, he is credited with the introduction of modern business methods in the preparation of the annual budget. This and other reforms, among which was a modern system of bookkeeping and accounting, won the commendation of civic bodies as well as the press. His business knowledge and his ability to do big things won for him the nomination and election as Trustee of the Sanitary District in 1916, where his intelligent handling of the duties of that office resulted in his election to the very important office of chairman of the Finance Committee of the Sanitary District. "Jim" Lawley, as he is called, combines with an analytical mind a courteous bearing, which combination makes for an ideal official. Advt. Gentlemen Black (Blue Book), W. A.

He never really thought seriously of investing in bonds until he was married a few years ago.

In spite of the down pour of rain and the constant falling of the temperature the services at Olivet were all pretty well attended last Sunday. The pastor was in the pulpit and delivered two messages on: "How to Have a Strong Church." Among some of the things he mentioned as necessary for a strong church were witness bearing the part of the church each member must give of his financial means for the support of the church if it is to be a strong institution for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. The church is in the midst of a great financial drive for $5,000, which is to be collected for next Sunday night. Olivet has a loyal membership and will be surprised if they fail to come up to the requirements. There will be good gospel preaching all day next Sunday; good music by all the choirs.

Bethel A. M. E. Church I, Reverend S. L. Burt, Pastor "I John, 3rd Chap., 2nd V., Text. Sunday morning. The pastor well exposed the text. That We Are the Sons of God *** That We Shall Be Like Him." The text was so well exposed that the first moments of gloom which were evident in the opening of the serv- and the inclement weather were ther- oughly driven away. "Solemn tac- tions and calamity howlers are to be to- mally near you." said the pastor "but the smiling tacies of the Sons of God are found with those who love Him." The lucid manner in which he handled the theme was compi- mented by the excellent singing in the choir with Prof. Jas. A. Munis. Next Sunday will be a great day in Bethel. The public is always invi tated in the case of the financial dif- ficulty will be found elsewhere. Metropolitan Community Church Reverend W. D. Cook, Pastor. The sermon Sunday morning was delivered along the lines of spiritual and civic construction which has characterized the sermons of Dr. Cook for the past months. The stead building of the community spirit was evident by the large number of accessions to the church. Great preparations are being made for the sermons beginning next Sunday, the Fourth Sunday musical, and the Good Friday and Easter special programs. The new line of work at No Community House is a feature 311 Giles, People's Home. Reverend W. A. Blackwell, Pastor The usual high class version of the pastor Sunday morning, was followed by nearly twenty accessories to the church, which is now becoming too large for its present quarters. The Sunday School is increasing under to good work of its officers and the special "party" by the musical department with Professor Foster and Professor MacAlpine was the greatest success in such lines in Chicago for the date. Thirty-five 'dollars in collection, a pacity house in attendance and all artistic numbers. Next Sunday a special sermon will be delivered by Reverend Blackwell and the greatly augmented 01 NOSEY HAS found out a new way to way get to "that happy feeling." It is as easy as falling off of a log. While standing in a soft drink parlor, Nosey observed a long man eating voraciously from a box of raisins. After he had finished three boxes, he drew from his pocket a cake of yeast. He ate that and then ordered three Coca Cola's, which were put in a row before him on the counter. He drank these and then ordered two more. The effect was almost immediate. A beautiful smile suffused his lean face, he drew himself up to his full height, viewed himself in the fountain mirror and then bowed graciously to everybody in the place and after a few minutes staggered from the place and down the street singing a popular air. Nosey smiled snowily and put down the recipe feeling that it was a sale and certainly cheap way to kill the blues. OFTEN DANGER makes heroes of many a tame and insidious man. Nosey was shuffling along "Striver's Row" the other night when he noticed a nice, little timid married man emerge from one of the "big houses" with a real "wild woman." He entered a waiting cab. As he looked up he saw a lady who looked like his wife. He walked right through the cab and crouched on the other side, talking frantically to the driver, while the little "wild woman" was asking "what it was all about?" Another cab was passing and the little husband reached for it and clung to it like a leach until the driver stopped and opened the door for him. "Home, James, and step on it." He beat the wife home and never stopped to think how he took his life in his own hands. Now he qualifies for this aeroplane acrobatic stun... When one marries, he often finds out just what he is cut out for. ```markdown ``` SAFE AND SANE is the motte adopted by three ladies of the smarter set. They have abandoned their "Fatty Arbuckle Party" stunt. Now, at least for a little while, they have a new plan. Each retires to her home, closes the door, tunes up the victoria, puts on the weariest and wildest blues and then proceeds to retire for the night. Just enough of the "red sparkling water" is put beside the bed to insure getting the proper atmosphere. The red and blue over the electric lights assures each the cabaret or party color. Then comes sleep as the needle noisily scratches on running only one record. Her record is safe—the her reputation beyond reproach. Home life is good for a change, anyway. EVERYBODY IS trying to find out who the joyful spender in who tips with five dollar bills and assists on having wine with his meals, the girls, though interested, are still shy. They have seen them come before and have been taken in, losing some money in the bargain. They are watching him and though he manages to get a few to put up with his hard face for the sake of the money in evidence, he has not managed to break through like he wants. It is the old story of the burned child dreading the fire. YES, I was a hard word sometimes. Nosey was leaning against a post on Calumet Avenue the other night, contemplating the beauty of the falling snow. A photograph was playing in a nearby house that familiar tune. "I Used to Love You. But it's All Over Now." A man approached the house and rang the bell. A lady came to the door, figure of a tall man looming up behind her. He greeted her joyfully. She replied coldly, like the falling snow. He started in but she stopped him. He inquired, "How do you like the machine I bought, and the records?" For a reply the man inside started up that tune again—"I Used to Love You. But it's All Over No." She said simply: "The record tells the tale Yesterday I did, but not tonight." He descended grunting, "Now I got to get that dollar back from that phonograph company." Time changes many things.

THE CHICAGO WHIP Address B-5, CHICAGO WHIP 3420 SOUTH STATE STREET Beautiful Mt. Glenwood Mount Glenwood Cemetery, located twenty-two miles south of the City Hall, between the villages of Thornton and Glenwood, contains one hundred and three acres, more or less, of land which has been improved at an expense of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars, which improvements consist of landscaping, macadam roadways, trees, shrubbery, three sets of ornamental iron gates, a chapel and superintendent's quarters with modern improvements. Thorn Creek runs through the cemetery, adding greatly to the natural beauty of the grounds. The cemetery is surrounded by a county forest preserve and thereby receives the benefit of the natural beauty of those tracts. The cemetery contains fifty thousand lots, of which approximately fifteen thousand have been sold, and twenty-two thousand additional lots are to be sold within a six-month period commencing February 1, 1922. The remaining lots will be divided up into single graves for single burials for the future. One-half of the cemetery has been fully developed, laid out, beautified and completed. The same work on the remaining portion will be finished in the early summer of 1922. A complete waterworks will be built and in operation about that time, for the purpose of supplying water throughout the cemetery. Lots up to and including the present time have been sold at prices ranging from $75.00 to $400.00. There were no lots sold for any less than $75.00 since the present improvements were completed. It is now proposed by officers of the cemetery to sell the twenty-two thousand lots for the flat price of $50.00 each, instead of $75.00 and upwards, as heretofore. These lots are to be sold on the installment plan. The purchaser will pay $10.00 down upon the signing of the contract and $10.00 or more per month until the full purchase price is paid. In addition to title to the lot the purchasers shall each receive two shares of stock for each lot purchased by them, which stock is now being sold for $15.00 per share. The lot owners will have a double interest in the cemetery, that of lot owner and that of stockholder. As a part of the revenue of the company about $1.50 per year will be collected from each lot owner as a fixed expense for watering the lots and cutting the grass for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in first-class condition. This is a sum considerably less than is usually charged by other ceteries for like services. It cannot be too strongly emphasized and borne in mind that while the cemetery is one of the most beautiful and attractive in the City of Chicago and its environs, yet the price of $50.00, not to include the stock bonus which is easily worth $30.00, represents about 25 per cent of the selling of lots in the average cemetery. Do not fail to secure one of these choice lots while they last. It is the coming Oak Woods of cemeteries in this city. Every family and householder should own a lot thereby providing for the future of our bereaved ones just as we do in everything else. Agents will call and see you upon request and furnish full information. Call the office by Phone Victory 6254 or visit our office at 3125 S. State Street. Come and select a choice lot while you can.

Billy King & Company are playing an indefinite engagement at The Lincoln Garden, formerly a soft drink cabaret, on East 31st St. The Actors Club at 3223 So. State St., is no more.

Smith, president of Local No. 208, is quite busy nowadays in the interest of his local. Mr. Smith is a little man, but a glutton for business endurance. The musicians of Chicago can feel proud that their judgment elected such an ambitious character to lead them. Since he has been in office, the working parts of the organization have all been systematized and run upon a strict commercial basis. Mr. Copeland, the secretary, is on the job at the president's command at all times and he himself is possessed with much ambition and intelligence. In the office the local employs a young lady to look after the day business by the name of Mrs. Wilson, a very competent bookkeeper and stenographer, at a fine salary. The Board of Directors, all well thinking gentleman sit in counsel with the president every Thursday. They are Chas. Elgar, Chauncey Murdock. Jas. Woodfolk, Richard Springs, Hugh Swift, Bert Hall and the old war horse, John Long. The public is cordially invited to visit the headquarters and see what the musician really is doing in Chicago. Years ago, he was considered a non-desirable in society because of the immoral attributes adjacent to his vocation, which was true, until the last ten or fifteen years when the old banjo and guitar hostlers played around dives and places of the like for hat collection. The musician of today is a trained person, both the theoretically on his instrument and mentally, and to be convinced of this fact come up and see the monument we have built at 3934 So. State at any time. In one year from now the building debt will be clear, representing an investment of fifteen thousand dollars.

For twenty years was the man imprisoned for an unreasoning flash of anger. The story of a man whom scandal and circumstance involved in the tragedy of a wrecked life.

March 19—Andrew "Rube" Foster and his American Giants of Chicago who have been in training here since Wednesday, defeated the Crescents a strong local team in both games of a double header here today, before a large size crowd. The first game was somewhat of a shugging match, a total of 29 hits being made, the locals registering 17 and the Giants 12. McHallion and Smith hurled for the Crescents and was opposed by Torrenti for the visitors. Torrenti is in fair condition, having come direct from Cuba where he has been playing winter baseball, however, he seemingly could not get started until the late stages of the game the locals getting away to a 5 run lead up to the fifth in their halt of this stanza the Giants scored 4 runs their first markers of the season, the Crescents added 3 runs in the sixth for a 8 to 4 lead, a Giant tally however, in this period, 6 runs 6 runs and pin the visitors out in front for the first time, the locals annexed 2 runs in the seventh and duplicated in the eighth for a two run lead, the Fosterites came back scoring 3 runs in their halt of the eighth for the tundra and decoding tally. Whitworth In Pitchers Battle In the second game the Crescent sent Alexander their ace in the hole to the mound, while Rufus elected to start Big Whiteworth newly acquired flinger "DeLung" and one of the hottest pitching ducks ever seen in these sections, was staged with Whitworth getting a shade the better of the argument, allowing only 7 well scattered bangles, while his teammates were collecting an even dozen. The Giants play two more rames with the locals and of course with a victory over Alexander, the locals are feel confident they will take the entire series.

GANS AND DIXON ON ALL-TIME LINEUP OF CHAMPS GANS AND DIXON ON ALL-TIME LINEUP OF CHAMPS By Al Munroe When Harry Newman, the Walter Camp of boxing, sat down, pen in hand, and undertook to select an all-star combination of all-time champs if chosen the first time he had not gotten far before he began to realize that he had indistaken a man's job. From the gist of Mr. Newman's story, however, one would be led to believe that in at least three of these divisions the selections were not so complexed as was true of the others, and of these three two are race fighters. Mr. Newman is plain spoken in his contention that being compelled to reduce to the point of death for his fight with Bat Nelson alone made defeat inevitable for the "Old Master," of course most every fair minded fan will admit this, but when a writer of the Newman calibre speaks, it is worth mentioning. In defense of his selection, Mr. Newman has this to say of the "Old Master": "Joe Gans is our selection for the lightweight champion of all time. It is not that we are forgetting the wonder of Benny Leonard, but great as Benny is, we find that we are compelled to give the niche to the great colored man, Gans. "Think of the competition that Gans had to contend with when he was the lightweight champion. How about such fighters as Dal Hawkins, Frank Erne, Elbows McMadden, Kid McPartland, Spike Sullivan, and Joe Walkott against the present day crop of lightweight? How many lightweight today do you suppose could last more than a round against the dynamic Joe Walcott? Gans dbd, and beat the gorilla scraper. "Battling Nelson made the great Gans reduce himself to the point of death before he would consent to fight him, and the great lightweight lost." Dixon Greatest Banty; Newman. "We find after careful thought on the bantam boys, that the prize for all-time champion should go to George Dixon, the famous Little Chocolate, who was the greatest fighter of his inches that ever piloted on a boxing glove. The great colored fighter never was any heavier than a bantam, but did not come his efforts strictly to his class. "The little fellow was continually stepping out of his rank to battle with boys twice his size. Old timers will recall his wonderful battles against such men as Cal McCarthy, Billy Plimmer, Podlar Palmer, Young Grito, Australian Billy Murphy, Tommy Warren, Tommy White, Frank Erne, Dal Hawkins, Eddy Santry and other great fighters of his period. "Dixon's two lights against McCarthy will never be forgotten, the first going seventy rounds to a draw, while the next time they started Dixon stopped the game McCarthy after twenty-two neree rounds. Just glance at those names mentioned above and it is easy to appreciate the tough competition the little negro had while he reigned at the top of the bantam crew."

At that the Giants have nothing on the boys in the office who destroy several crescentes and coffee three times a day. (Attention, City Editor.)"

Men capable of filling the shoes of many of the greatest players of this or any age, is the plaint sent out by leading clubs of the Western circuit of the N. N. League. The infield of the Champion American Giants is all shot to pieces, sickness and many other circumstances according to late reports, will force "Rulc" Foster to build another infield, with Bingo DeMoss, the only one of the once famous inner defense certain to remain. Davy Malarcher, the crack third sacker, is out at present and is more than likely to be missing this season as a result of heart trouble. Bobby Williams, short-stop, signed up with "Uncle Sam" and will do stunts at the P. O. instead of the ball park, unless he gets a L. O. A.; his case is uncertain and the Champions are trying to land a short stop. The Big Chief tried to work out a new first sacker part of last year, but had a change of heart. If a new infield is to be built around DMoiss, then the way must be paved for a new first baseman. Another big club, the Kansas City Monarchs, are up in the air about the short and third base positions; another thing, they were forced to buy a first baseman, the same man they sold last season. Shortstop Moore was ill part of last season, although he played all winter on the coast, the management is not positive that he can make the Western circuit grade this year. Portunda, the Cuban third sacker, who suffered a broken ankle last year is not likely to be of much force to the K, Cs but time will only tell. Ben Taylor has a likely looking bunch of infielders enrolled for his A. B. C.s. Washington filled the gap at short for half of the season of last year and did his work well; but he is an outfielder. Ben has four prospects for the short field position. Mackey is down as a catcher, being one of the best receivers in the country; he played third for the A.s part of last season. Day is a natural third sack- PRIC Now $1,195 Touring Car WITH its clean, racy body lines, ebony trimmed, its handsome top with gypsy curtains and plate glass rear window, the Dixie Flyer five-passenger Touring Car, Model 70, includes mechanical refinements that denote unusual skill in engineering and offer the user much comfort and satisfaction. It is correctly designed, amply powered and is rich in the possession of those characteristics which inherently constitute car value. Of medium weight it is economical to operate—low in gasoline consumption and high in tire mileage. It is highly finished in optional colors—Oriental green, blue or maroon. Roadster THE Dixie Roadster is a two-passenger car mounted on the same chassis as the five-passenger Touring Car. A distinctive design—low body and graceful rear deck, gives it that appearance of great utility and serviceability—the outward expression of its mechanical excellence. Like other Dixie Models, the Roadster has a full complement of convenient equipment which makes driving easy and untiring. It is furnished in durable finish—color option being the same as that of the Touring Car. KEAN Calumet 250 DOUGLAS MILLINERY 3216 S. STATE STREET For SNAPPY HATS!!

St. Louis grabbed a classy third sacker the latter part of the season in the person of Miles; their infield is all set with Hewitt at short, Holtz at second and McAdoo at first. However, Hewitt and Holtz are at present filling the gaps in the Foster lineup, and the legal status of the St. Louis club is as yet unsettled. Cleveland and Pittsburgh have home grown infields, that is, they haven't made the circuit yet, but held their own in grand style last year against all league clubs. If they can make the bill this year, then there will be four infields of established prestige along the circuit, only four. Detroit leads the bunch, with perhaps the best infield in the whole country. You can't beat Warfield, third, Riggins, short, Thomas, second and Wesley, first base. The Cubans are a close second. One thing is certain, if the shortage of high grade infield material does not prove a serious menace to the big clubs, it will result in a deflection that should make for a more compact and heated argument with all eight clubs having a say all through the season, instead, as heretofore, one club closing the discussion alone about Fourth of July.

M., in 1912, which was stopped by police after nine sanguinary rounds. Flynn divulged the fact not generally known that the fight, despite a large patronage, did not not him a penny. He continued: "When I met Johnson at Las Vegas, I had to gain and not a thing to lose. I was to get 35 per cent of all receipts over $30,000. Unfortunately, the bout drew $28,000 and I never received a dime, while Johnson took every penny in the house."

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Editor Linton William C. Linton has crossed the Great Divide. He has passed from nature into eternity. In the morning of life Mr. Linton was called to leave us by the Omnipotent and All Wise God. Death has dealt unsparingly upon the human race and it is not yet in the mind of men to understand and appreciate but maybe Henry W. Longfellow, one of the sunlight poets, was right when he mused that there is no death; what seems so is transition. If there is no death, but merely transition, then young Linton has crossed from the travail and toil of this world into a realm where, perhaps, the sun shines brighter and there are no nights and shadows. We do know that he has gone and the candle of his brilliant career was snuffed ere it began to burn. He was a remarkable man, gifted with a vision and the energy and initiative to make it real and substantial. He, like a great meteor catapulted from the skies by unknown forces, blazed his own trail and burned his personality into the hearts of men. William C. Linton came to Chicago practically unknown and unheard of. He fought his way into civic affairs and founded the Chicago Whip. The policies of the Whip were different from those of any weekly newspaper being published in the country at that time. It required superhuman courage and ceaseless labor to keep it alive. William C. Linton had the courage and the fighting heart and the grit to face those obstacles, and the Whip lived. The younger men marveled and the elders were astounded with the sheer grit and nerve of their young friend Linton. He had the temerity to assail the existing order of affairs and the brain to point put their faults and fallacies. He gave his ideas of remedies dauntlessly and some of them won favor. He breathed a freer air than his fathers and he made it his mission in life to lift those of his race who were in the mire of ignorance up upon the plane with himself, where they could be emancipated in mind as well as in body. He was the apostle of the new generation. The new generation challenged the old, fossilized, reactionary leaders and sought to reform their policies. They threw a wrench into the spokes of crooked political machines. They fought for a firmer race pride and for a closer unification of the black race. Linton was in the thick of those battles, a slim, frail youth, and like the sands in the hourglass dwindle down, did the strength of the youth Linton ebb away. On Sunday morning, March Nineteen. Nineteen Twenty-two, he died. William C. Linton, the brilliant young editor and orator, has served nobly and well. He accomplished in the short span of twenty-nine years what others had failed to do in three score years and ten. This trenchant pen has written and neither "piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all your tears wash out a word of it." The written words of Linton will never die, and the inspiration he has given his people will gather impetus as the years roll by. From the life of this young man the black youth of America can learn much, for he hastened the dawn of a new day and was a modern David who fought the colossal evils of this country and besieged the fawning Goliaths who have retarded the advance of his people. The fourth estate, the press of the black race, will do well to bemoan the demise of Editor Linton, for his loss will be keenly felt and he will not be easily replaced. In the morning of life his task was ended, but the influence of his achievements will never perish. The good that men do lives after them. Calling the Color Line The color line has been called the crowning disgrace of America and the white man has been accused of being the greatest offender, but the Literary Digest and Leslie's Weekly have recently published an article, presumably written by a black man, which shows that in the black race the lines of color are drawn more firmly and insistently than by the white people. He claims that Negro society, like Caesar's Gaul, is divided in three parts—the Yellows, the Brownns, and the Blacks. The article concludes that a little more pride is the remedy. If it is not true that such lines have been drawn, then we have no added problem to solve; but if it is true, and we ourselves who are black people and live in America certainly do know, then a problem is indeed presented which should be treated dispassionately by every newspaper, organization and church in America. It is the disgrace of the black people and we cannot gracefully complain of the white man's snobbishness. It is the case of the mote and the beam. The authorities in Chicago have combined to break up vice and outlawry. It is a splendid innovation and if a dragnet is laid some of the officials in office now will be ensnared. Many political machines will be destroyed and it is hoped that Southside strongholds will not be spared. Some of the proprietors of gambling dens and dives in the Southside have wonderful influence with powers that be. Indeed, a prominent gambler in Chicago was recently responsible for the appointment of a black man to an important political position. If gamblers and bandits as well as resort proprietors are in control of the political patronage of certain political factions we do not have to hesitate in giving our support to the new combination which will break up these evils. TORIAL IAL HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith Troy Smith Wm. H. Brundage from the winning fa his magnet manner. By Dr. Troy Smith There has never been a time in the history of the world when such a great interest has been displayed in the health of citizens. The entire nation is aroused over the health of its population. The recent world war has taught the importance of health education. The government did not know that there was such a large percentage of young men between the ages of 21 and 31 that were physically unfit. A large percentage of this unfitness was due to ignorance, which, had the victims known in time, could have been avoided. So important is the question of good health, having a sound mind in a sound body, that the United States Department of Health has joined hauds with the State and City Health Departments in combating disease, prevention and teaching the proper cure. The above departments can do little unless they have the co-operation of the public. The press must do its part in disseminating the truth about diseases. Another important factor in the prevention of diseases, especially the sex disease, is the role that the parent plays. An inquiry was made among 1,000 college men in representative institutions of the East, West and Middle West. The replies were manifestly sincere. While students may be no better morally than men on the outside of college, they are not below the average. Furthermore, there is evidence to show that the replies understate rather than overstate the prevalence of sexual practices. In other words, conditions are probably as bad as, if not worse than, conditions indicated by their statements. The conclusions from this study are as follows: (1) A large majority of boys get their first permanent impressions about sex from improper sources before the age of twelve. The average age is nine and one-half years. Many testify to the unfortunate effect of these early impressions received from older boys and undesirable sources. One man writes: "The effect was decidedly bad. It gave me a sense of bewilderment and a wrong idea of the workings of nature." Another says: "The effect was decidedly harmful. What I learned was so different from my ideas of human reproduction that I had formed from the myths told me by my parents that I lost respect for them." Many of these men expressed bitterness against their parents for having failed to give them clean, helpful information. The parents, on the other hand, must have the co-operation of the children. For the benefit of those who are vitally interested in this subject of health I refer you to the pamphlets that are prepared by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Springfield, Illinois. These may be had free of charge by writing to the department: Set A. For youn men. Set B. For the general public. Set C. For boys. Set D. For parents. Set E. For girls and young women. Set F.

He paid me all right up until the last week. He then paid me off with a check. The check was for $35.00 and it was a bogus check. He had no money whatever in the Franklin Trust Bank. It will soon be a year that I have had this check and I would have tried to do something before now, but he being one of us, that is, colored, is why I was trying to give him a chance. Now he has been working, as he sold out his business, and I learn his employment is with the city. Each time I would see him he would tell me he was going to pay me and now I just think he doesn't mean to do right. Isn't there some way to force him to pay me this money? I have the check with his own signature and I endorsed it, then I found out it was a bogus check. Please advise me. Oblige—Betty D., Chicago. Answer: You may bring suit for the money that he owes you on the agreement you had with him and use the check as evidence that he agreed to make payment to you. He is also guilty of a crime if he did not have an account with the bank upon which he drew the check. I would suggest that you employ an attorney as this might be the most effective method of getting your money with the least delay and prevent serious trouble for your late employer. Mr. Editor: While in another state an eighteen-year-old girl took a ring from a ten-cent store. The value of the ring was ten cents. She was arrested by a policewoman and taken before the judge. It appeared at her trial that they were going to place her in jail, but the policewoman winked her eye at the girl as though they were only joking her and the judge discharged her upon the promise that she would leave the state and never return? Do you think they will ever do any more with her? Would it be dangerous for her to return to that state, or is it over with now? Oblige—W. O. R., Bell Buckle, Tenn., R. 3, B. 93. Answer: This young lady committed a crime in taking the ten-cent ring by means of theft and was liable to the penalty imposed by the law in the state where the crime was committed. It is our opinion that the court felt that this young lady was not the type to commit such crimes and with fair treatment would never again commit such an act. It is hardly likely that any harm would come to the young lady were she to return to that state, but should she commit another criminal act in that state or be arrested in bad company, her record would make it bad for her and the court might impose the suspended sentence for stealing the ring as well as for the crime which caused her immediate arrest. Dear Sir: I a mote holder and payee of a promissory note which is past due. I presented it for payment upon finding out that the maker could not make payment I permitted him additional time. Now the second appointed date for payment has passed by. Is he still table? Answer: Yes, he is liable until he makes payment. If you and he are the only parties to the note you have lost no rights by permitting more time for payment. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Maurice Mays has been electrocuted in Tennessee. His case attracted national interest. He had been incarcerated for three years and went to his death declaring that he was innocent. Mays was a black man and his supposed offense occurred in the Southland and those who have lived there know that law is not administered in justice and equity to black men. Many innocent men have paid the price of Southern injustice with their lives. If Maurice Mays was innocent, then the State of Tennessee has added another stain to its escutcheon. Dempsey is going to England to fight. He says that the public does not want him to fight Wills. We remember the tale of the running dog—he never had a scratch; and also the old adage that he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. Dempsey is a great sidestepper and knows how to dodge a blow. The henchmen of Mayor Thompson have started singing his praises again out in our district. It is five-cent fares and lower rents. Of course, the people are gradually awakened to this subterfuge to get votes and it is wise that they do. As soon as the black people in Chicago show an interest in clean politics and shun vice immunity privileges as rewards for their votes, just then will Chicago begin to open up new opportunities to them. It is hoped that the churches and the uplift organizations of the city will get busy and seek to emancipate the black people from the setters of crooked politics. --- Set A. For youn men. Set B.

Huff, the candidate of the Brundage organization for the senate from the third senatorial district, is winning favor among his people with his magnetic personality and savve manner. Mr. Huff has been making a lecture tour throughout the city taking for his subject "taxation without representation." It is expected that he will give a good account of himself on election day. Oliver Clark, candidate for the legislature, is being solidly supported by the young men of the city who have registered a protest against crooked politics and cowardly leadership. Mr. Clark has a brilliant record as a lawyer behind and is capable of serving his people in the Assembly. He is heartily endorsed by the Brundage machine. Chas. A. Griffin, prominent church man and business man, is our candidate for the Senate in the first district. He is a strong man who has a host of friends who will support him. He is backed by the Nineteen Twenty. Four Republican Club and the Brundage machine. Eugene Marshall and Senator Ettelson are working steadily under the Deprecist machine. Mr. Deprecist is smiling confidently and he generally knows when to smile and when to frown. If he is successful in putting over his candidates he no doubt will supplant William A. Bither as ward committeeman. Richard E. Parker, the man who knows how to "write within the law," is candidate for Congress. We know that it is true, because we heard him say so. Parker runs for something every time the gong sounds. He never loses breath and has an unlimited supply. Clark Denies Accusations Opponents of Wallace G. Clark, candidate for County Treasurer, have been circulating a report in which it is alleged that he was connected with organizations whose purpose was to keep black people out of certain resi- dential digitricts. Mr. Clark denies complexity in the alleged case of Mr. Davis, and any other case, indicating that he can successfully defend and prove his position. Voters naturally look for his full vindication of the alleged charges, feeling intensely bitter on matters of discrimination or segregation and wait for Mr. Clark's more complete explanation. Judge Hayes Makes Statement When interviewed by a Whip reporter in regard to the discrimination case of Messrs. Fred Irwin and Howardton recently tried before him, he made clear his attitude in that case and every case which comes before him. He stated in substance that there were five witnesses, one of whom was a black man and who testified that there was no discrimination, while the two men contended that there was. The State's Attorney trying the case admitted that he had not made a case and as the evidence was against the two men, he, as a judge, rendered his decision on the evidence. He stated that he was without prejudice and had shown much consideration to the black people where he could, but always and would continue to do so, render all his decisions on the law and evidence regardless of race. He regretted that he was or could be misunderstood in this case. The policy advocated by the Whip, that is, that all earnest money deposited to bind a bargain in the purchase of real estate should be placed in the hands of a trust company or a bonded third person for the protection of both parties. This is called to the fore by the fact that just recently another dealer in real estate broker has disappeared to parts unknown with the combined efforts of several life's savings. There should be no punishment too severe meted out to such a person who deliberately violates a confidence. The South Side is soon to have a new group of newly rich. The School Board has begun to pay off for the property they are taking on Calumet Avenue (between 32nd and 33rd street), and soon the persons who are the owners of property on South Park Avenue will have their pockets lined with gold so that Grand Blvd. can be extended to 23rd and then over the lake. Most of the owners are receiving from two to three times what they paid for their property and are still fighting for more. The problem seems to be. "Where do we go from here?" Even the second ward has its limitations and there is a possibility that some of us will have to go a long way from thirty-fifth and State streets. Several new subdivisions are opening up with and the activity in building, the newly rich, instead of trying to become richer over night, would lend a helping hand to overcoming the housing conditions as we have it, would thereby benefit both themselves and mankind. ThePolitical Pot . . . Clark Denies Accusations --- Judge Hayes Makes Statement Real Estate Department BOOK REVIEW By Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "THE SOUL OF JOHN BROWN" By Stephen Graham. Published by The MacMillan Co., New York. Price, $2.00. Postage, 10 Cents Extra. Few Americans realize how interesting the Negro question in the United States is to the English. They want to learn about it; they come over here and write about it. Not one of them has written so keen a book as Fannie Kemble's "Two Years on a Georgian Plantation," published nearly a hundred years ago. Fannie Kemble, the actress, married a slave holder and came from free England to enslave Georgia. She could not stand it and from the trunk way in which she wrote I imagine the white South could not stand her. Stephen Graham has no such intimate knowledge as Fannie Kemble possessed, but he did his best while in America to see conditions as they really exist; and his many years of travel among other people—he has written a number of books upon Russia—makes him a wise and well-balanced observer. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was collecting material for "The Soul of John Brown," a striking-looking man, with reddish hair worn a trifle long and a gentle though strong face. Religious in the best sense of the word, he believes that "only Christianity can save color." But there is something of the militant Christian about him when he tells us that "there is such a thing as the wrath of God, and it is not incompatible with Divine Fatherhood and all merciful Providence." John Brown is his hero and he ends his book by saying, "John Brown himself, if he should reappear, would not be sweetened by what he saw happening in the world. His soul goes marching on, but it is still the soul of vengeance and wrath. To prepare for writing of this book Stephen Graham spent some time in New York—we at the N. A. A. C. P. were fortunate in being able to give him material—and then started in his travels. He went into seven southern states. He saw the industries at Newport News, talked with black riveters and chippers, and, to quote his own words, "went up the James River to Jamestown and on to Richmond, the line capital of the old Dominion. I traveled to Lynchburg and its tobacco industries, went from thence to 'sherer Knoxville, investigating the race riot there and the attitude of Tennessee. From Knoxville I went to Chattanooga and Birmingham, in each of which great steel centers I met the leading Negroes and investigated conditions. I was at Atlanta and walked across Georgia to the sea, following Sherman. A three-hundred-mile walk through the cotton fields and forests of Georgia * * * From Savannah I went to Brunswick and Jacksonville, thence to Pensacola and on from Florida to New Orleans and the Gulf plantations. I journeyed up the Mississippi on a river steamer, stayed at the Negro city of Mound Bayon, was at Vicksburg and Greenville and Memphis and then repaired once more to the contrasting North." The most picturesque part of this trip was the tramp through Georgia. No one else used the road for walking, and Mr. Graham was accounted passing strange. But his ready spirit of good fellowship won confidence and he found out much concerning Sherman's march from the oldest inhabitants and trueth regarding the Georgia of today from his own observations. His swimming up is not flattering. "Rural Georgia is not very much better today than it was in slavery days." In the cities he met leading men of the colored race, men who must be interested to read what he wrote. He is generous in his estimates of the black man, kindly, but with a sense of humor. The further South he drops the more he sees the Negro neglected, his opportunities lessened. He is shocked that a library, hearing Carnegie's name admits no colored reader. The lack of public schooling amazes him. He did not visit Hampton though he was as near it as Norfolk not because he doubted its good work, but because he wanted to found his impressions on the poorer schools, or what was usual, not occasional. It is this spirit that makes his book different from that of Archer or Maurice Evans; he was not hoodwinked by the sight of philanthropy. While kindly toward the Negro he is unsparing in his condemnation of the white southerner, yet he recognizes that he exists inevitably, the sure result of slavery. "You can classify all faces into those who say please and those who do not, and the children of the slave owners are mostly in the second category. Unqualified mastership; indifference to dirt and misery in the servant's class; callous disregard of other's pain, or pleasure taken in their pain. All these terrible sins or sinful conditions are visited on the third and fourth generation of those who hate, though as must always be said, God's mercy is shown to thousands of them that love him and keep his eternal commandments." There are four entertaining pages, humor, yet tragic, of the fourteen points of the southerner's creed. I give a few. I. "We understand the niggers and they like us. When they go North, they're crazy till they get back to us. 1. The nigger is all right as long as he is kept in his place. You must make him keep his distance. If once you are familiar with him you are lost. 5. "The animals, also, he does not feel pain. When he is burned it is not the same as a white man burning. 14. "Justice? Well, you ask any nigger which he'd prefer—a Southern court of justice and a Southern judge or a Northern one. He would always prefer the Southern one because in the South we understand him. And we're very fond of them and they of us. We get on very well together." Southern belief. Graham says, rarely steps out of this codified expression of thought. Get into conversation with a Southerner and you will almost always be able to refen his talk to 1 or 10 or some other point of this creed. "The Soul of John Brown" is a most satisfying book. We hope for it many readers both in this country and in England. This Week In History Frankfort, Ky. The Mock Congress at the A. M. E. Church was such a signal success that it was reproduced the following week. The many and varied bills introduced, and the discussions which followed were not only entertaining but afforded excellent opportunities for expressing ones self which is indeed splendid training for both men and women. The director, Mr. Basil Harvey, is being showered with compliments on his splendid and worthy effort to assist the Church in its Remodeling Rally in May. SUNDAY, MARCH 19 In 1838 Fredrick Douglass escaped from slavery under the disguise of a sailor in New York City and then to New Bedford, Mass. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" begins as a serial in the national era, Boston, 1882. Free Negroes often purchased their slave wives and children and held them as band slaves. The collection by the Southern States of the Fourteenth Amendment plan of Reconstruction left "the way open to Congress to imitate" the policies of the Confederacy. This plan was passed in 1867. The death of Uncle Willis Logan while pathetic when we think of the circumstances surrounding it: yet it carries with it a beautiful lesson, an expression of a community of tender hearts which seeks to do unto others as the Master taught. Headed by Mrs. Mary L. Brooks means were provided to give him a decent burial from Corinthian Church, Rev. Lanier officiating, with flowers and music by two young women it was all that could be desired. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 22 Establishment of a system of public schools for Negroes in Louisiana.
