C., April 22—Although there is a general inclination to honor Liberia's request for a loan of $5,000,000, the little republic's poor credit is said to be hampering the negotiation of the deal. This in spite of the stamp of approval placed upon the proposed loan by Secretary of State Hughes, and his letter to Congress showing "our moral obligation to lend Liberia the money." Representative Frear of Wisconsin in oppositing the loan brought out the fact that it was authorized in 1918 under the Second Loan Act, which allowed loans to allies for the national security and defense and prosecuting the war. Mr. Frear pointed out that the war emergency does not now apply. Three Loans Made He also brought out the information that Liberia had made several loans before; one in 1871 of $448,720 from England and another from the same nation in 1906 for $449,760. In 1912 Liberia borrowed $1,458,000 from American bankers in order to pay England back interest and principal. Therefore Liberia still owes us interest and principal of this last loan of over a million and a half dollars, and owes other sums in addition to its military forces, officials, Government stationers, etc. making its total present debt $2,189,000. Included in this are items of $30,000 used by Liberian delegates in attending the Peace Conference, and $18,000 used by delegates in trip to America. If Liberia succeeds in borrowing the five million dollars from the United States, it will be used to pay off these debts, and in addition build roads, make telegraph connections, aid public schools and add lighthouses, buoys and other necessaries to the harbor at Monrovia. Cannot Pay Interest I: Liberia could pay the $0,000 interest a year due on her national debt members of the House Committee would have been more favorably inclined towards making the loan. A it is, it looks to them like throwing good money after bad. Another point to which some of the members of the committee objected was the conditions of the proposed loan agreement under which an American financial commissioner would have charge of Liberian customs at a salary of $15,000 a year and an assistant at $10,000 a year. It was pointed out that now Liberia cannot pay annual interest charges of $80,000 a year but that under the proposed loan the salaries of the various officials who would administer it alone would total $80,000. Interest on the $5,000,000 would total another $250,000. Liberia's Claim President King and his commission who were in this country recently laid claim to our aid in rescuing Liberia from bankruptcy, because the United States founded Liberia as an exile for slaves in 1821 and appropriated at one time as much as $100,000 from the Federal treasury for this purpose. An additional claim is that President Wilson actually cabled Liberia and other governments that the loan had been granted. Other questions during the hearings brought out the information that there are 50,000 civilized colored people and two million uncivilized natives in Liberia; only 24 white people; that Liberia's five richest men are worth from $50,000 to $75,000; customs receipts for 1920 were $346,000 and receipts from internal taxes $100,000.

It has leaked through the social world of Chicago that Miss Ione Harris, popular belle, stole a march two months ago on her friends and was joined in matrimony to Mr. Max Graves, well liked Chicago youth. North Shore Excited Over 'Colonization The aristocratic North Shore, home of Chicago's millionaires, became highly excited and incited Monday when it was reported that plans were on foot to establish a "black colony" between Evanston and Niles Center. It was explained that Wm. Rankin, Jr., a real estate dealer of Glencoe, had acquired a tract of land comprising about 700 twenty-five foot lots, which he proposed to sell to non-white residents. It was later divulged, however, that the whole affair was the result of a bitter fight between Niles Center and Evanston to acquire the tract of land in question. Niles Center was to vote Tuesday upon the annexation of the pigeon of ground. Evanston also wanted it. Therefore, it is declared, the story was hatched up in Evanston to frighten Niles Center voters away from the proposed annexation. However, at Tuesday's elections, it was decided by Niles Center voters to annex the site of the proposed "black colony."

Lash Girl Who Would Marry 90 Yr.Old Man Lash Girl Who Would Marry 90 Yr.Old Man STUGGART, April 22.—Ada Brown, aged about 39 years old, was taken from an automobile into the woods about three miles east of Stuggart last week, stripped of her clothing and whipped by a mob of colored men and boys. The woman was left tied to a tree, but was released by a boy, and left the county. It is said she went to Forrest City. The whipping occurred last week, but did not become known until this week when Dick Thompson, aged 90, a blind veteran of the civil war, engaged an attorney to investigate the whipping and to assist in prosecuting members of the mob, four of whom, he said, he recognized by their voices. Thompson, who is a well-to-do man, had secured a license to marry the woman and expressed belief that relatives, who objected to the marriage were responsible for the action of the mob. Thompson said the woman had appealed to him to take her to Ulm in his automobile, to avoid mob violence. They were en route to Ulm when two other automobiles, loaded with men and boys, overtook the fleeing couple and dragged the bride-to-be from the car, with tusilide of shots and shouts. ST.

RACE ISSUE LOOMS UP IN PORTLAND City Council Declares Intermingling of Races Will Not Be Tolerated PORTLAND, Ore., April 22—Long considered one of the fairest cities of the Northwest, Portland has finally jumped into the ranks of jim crow cities with resolutions passed by the city council last week. At the bichest of Mayor Baker, the city council adopted resolutions condemning the intermingling of white and non-white persons at dances, grills, and cabarets. The commissioners gave unanimous support to Mayor Baker's elicit that intermingling of races must cease. About two weeks ago, when the council was hearing evidence on the case against R. D. Stuart, whose resort was raided by the police, the fact was disclosed that colored men were dancing with white girls, and Mayor Baker announced that such intermingling must cease in the interest of common decency. Right of City Questioned The right of the city to stop such intermingling was questioned by attorneys for Stuart, who maintained that there was no law on the statute books prohibiting a black man from dancing with a white woman. Mayor Baker announced if there was no such law he would instruct the city attorney to draft a law which will make it absolutely clear that there will be no institution operated in this city where whites and blacks may intermingle. Following announcement of this policy various colored organizations met and adopted resolutions that the passage of any legislation, such as was suggested by the major, would create race prejudice. Mayor Upheld by Council. Last Tuesday the city council was called together by Mayor Baker and after considering the resolutions and letters which had been forwarded to the mayor, it adopted resolutions supporting him. City Attorney Grant, who had investigated the situation, stated that no additional legislation was required to attain the object outlined by Mayor Baker. Oust Jury That Scored U.S.General SAN JUAN, April 19.—The grand jury, which recently made a presentation against Gov. Reilly and other Porto Rican officials, was dismissed today by Judge Foote of the San Juan district court. The grand jury afterwards met in quarters outside the courthouse and appealed to the attorney general for a legal ruling relative to its dismissal, expressing belief that it was not in accordance with the law. The grand jury it is stated, had reported to the judge that it had business still pending before it. When the jury came into court today Judge Foote refused for the second time to accept the grand jury's report, making the allegations against the Governor and other insular administration officials. The report was returned to the district attorney's office. In his order refusing to permit the report to be filed Judge Foote said: "The court forbids any new request that such report be filed." The grand jury thereupon was dismissed, afterward holding its meeting outside the courthouse and appealing to the attorney general. TRAP MURDERER MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 22.—Really Harrison, 3T, who has been sought as the murderer of Meyer Safferstone, Main Street, clothing merchant, was trapped and arrested here last week. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS S RIV RIVAL Got What Was Due Him, Says Judge Of Slain Man MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 22.—"Gentlemen of the jury, the defense has moved for a directed verdict of not guilty for Bessie Lee Sisk. We don't know exactly what happened up there, but the man got what was coming to him, possibly he did not get it in the right way, but he got it," said Judge Harsh to the jury when the evidence for the state was completed Monday. Thus was Bessie Lee Sisk, pretty 19-year-old girl, freed of the charge of murder Herbert Bingham, musician, here, whom she shot to death. When the judge added that he did not think that there was a chance for conviction on the proof, that there was a slim chance that any appellate court would let a verdict against the girl stand, expressions of the juryman indicated that they only wanted time to write a verdict of acquittal. Frank Glanker, who had prosecuted the case for the state, did not interpose any objection to the case's ending in that way.

NO BULLETS END LOVE TANGLE Jury Holds Woman For Murder Who Sends Bullet Thru Rival's Heart Jealousy over the love of a man augmented by the flaming poison of moonshine whiskey resulted in the murder of a woman shortly after 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The slain woman was Mrs. M. Mosely, 28 years of age, of 3207 Prairie Ave. Her slayer was Miss Elizabeth Talley, madly in love with Hubert Wilson, a roomer at Mrs. Mosely's home on Prairie Ave. Both Loved Him According to the testimony of roomers in the house, both the Tall woman and Mrs. Mosely were made in love with Wilson. Miss Talley however, is supposed to have had his claim upon the man's affections. Several times she is said to have warned Mrs. Mosely against alienating her sweetheart's affections. She is said to have urged Wilson to leave Mrs. Mosely's home. In the meantime Wilson occupied the enviable position of "star roomer" at the Mosely home. Wednesday night Miss Talley appeared at Wilson's room in a semi-inxicated condition. She again began to urge Wilson to change his address. Confronted by both women, Wilson was unable to decide what to do. As Mrs. Mosely entered the argument, the Talley girl drew a revolver and fired two shots with deadly effect. The first bullet took effect in the right arm, the second pierced Mrs. Mosely's heart. Following the killing, the body of the slain woman was removed to Edwards' morgue, 3030 Indiana Ave. At the inquest, held Thursday, Miss Talley was held to the Grand Jury for indictment on a charge of murder.

April 22—There is a strong clan feeling and a boasted claim or superiority on the part of the West Indian over the American colored man, according to the story told the police by Charles Brunson, an assistant employee in the kitchen at Lincoln Hospital. East 141st Street and Southern Boulevard. Last Tuesday Brunson shot and killed James Dorsett, and severely wounded John Chippendale, two West Indians also employed in the kitchen of the hospital. It is alleged that Brunson had been discharged by Chippendale, who was the chet. The cook, it is said, had just told a hospital official that he could no longer use Brunson, and as the officer left the kitchen a heated argument followed which resulted in the fatal shooting. Speaking of the incident Brunson is alleged to have said: "I couldn't help it, if I didn't shoot first they would have killed me." Dr. Deutch of the hospital pronounced Dorsett dead, but believed there was hope that Chippendale would recover. "Dorsett and Chippendale" he said, "are from the West Indies. And a West Indian hates an American Negro, That's why they had it in for me." "They've been playing some nightly mean tricks upon me, and I gave them fair warning that they had better be careful." "Did you tell them you had a gun?" he was asked. "No." Brunson admitted, "I didn't; but I gave them hints. But they were after me. A West Indian will make it hot for an American Negro whenever he can." When Brunson was arraigned in the Morrisica Court the next day, Magistrate Simpson held the prisoner without bad for examination.

The suspect, James Edwards, is under arrest in New York. This information was offered the police by Abel Chambers, who is serving a prison sentence in Baltimore, Md. According to Chambers. Edwards killed two men who attempted to rob him of part of the money. Edwards is said to have stumbled over a package of bank notes thrown away by the robbers in their flight. He picked it up and, fleeing from the city, lived high and gambled while the money lasted, according to the police. Two policemen and one of the robber gang were shot during the chase after the hold-up men following the original robbery. All three robbers have since been captured, but the police could never find the missing cash. Haiti Elects Luis Borno President PORT AU PRINCE, April 22—By unanimous vote of the electors, Luis Borno has been elected president of the Republic of Haith. Borno is a well-known and popular member of the bar, and a member of the cabinet of the outgoing president, Sudre Dartigeunave. He will be inducted into office early next month. Borno was at one time foreign secretary under Dartigeunave, and has been for many years a prominent and striking figure in Haitian affairs. His training in foreign affairs, and his long practice as an attorney admirably fit him for the position which he is to hold. With Borno will come a more beneficial American occupation, though the United States is not expected to evacuate. The unanimous choice of Borno indicates that the Haitians intend to make a prolonged right for absolute independence and control of their domination. Appointment of a minister plemi- potientary from the United States to the island is expected at no late date. Several colored men are known to be persona prata to the new administration but there is a general disposition on the part of colored men of wealth and prominence to shum the appointment. The salary is $10,000 and per- quiesces. "How Jesus Met Life's Problems" on Thursday evenings. An increasing number of men are attending these classes.

He never really thought seriously of investing in bonds until he was married a few years ago. Being inexperienced in financial matters, he wrote several letters to Ralph, an attorney friend of his, who answered all his questions in a very simple and clear manner. We have just published a booklet called "An Investor's Letters" which contains all of Ralph's and Bill's correspondence. You will find it very interesting and it may clear up some of the questions you have in your own mind about investment matters. We shall be glad to use "An Investor's Letters" free of charge or obligation to anyone who requests it. TEXAS GRAND JURY ASKS KU KLUX-KLAN DISBANDMENT HOUSTON, Texas, April 22—Calling on the Ku Klux Klan and any organization similar to the klan to disband and cease all activities in this county, the Harris County grand jury, in a special report to Criminal District Judge C. W. Robinson, declared the "masked organization a menace to law enforcement." "This grand jury," the report contives; but, on the contrary do much alleged law-enforcement, masked, secret organizations are a serious menace and can render little, if any, aid in the enforcement and observance of our laws, however commendable their motives; but, on the contrary do much harm, because they tend to and indeed do create fear, envy, distrust, malice, suspicion, strife and dissension, because of the general impression that they arrogate to themselves the right to secretly pass upon and determine as to private conduct. The Ultimate Outcome "We ought not to have these outbound, masked class or creed or race secret organizations behind which hide envy, hated, malice and prejudices of every sort the only substantial result being to throw other and additional obstacles in the path of orderly and open enforcement of the law. "The invisible and ultimate result of the activities will be to destroy and not to build up, as we see and understand it. "We are of the opinion that if one of the various secret organizations of this county of the character mentioned did not in fact meet the white cap communication under investigation, that they are all jointly, at least to some extent, responsible for this and other similar violations of law in the past, as they also will be for future similar violations, if they continue their activities. "By order of the Harris County grand jury, respectfully submitted, R. M. Fartar, foreman." JERSEY GOVERNOR TO ADDRESS N.A.A.C.P. SPRING CONFERENCE NEWARK, N. J., April 22—Gov. Edward L.

Hazzard gained much notoriety last year when the engagement was announced. Seeing him about to fall into $100,000, relatives of the woman had her declared "insane." In the meantime Miss Puffer is said to have given Hazzard in the neighborhood of $3,500 in money and personal property. He was ordered by the court to return all her gifts. Failing to do so, he was sentenced to a jail term for contempt of court. Offers Girl $200 To Drop Case Against Him BALTIMORE, Md., April 22—Albert Smith, 1900 Division Street, is said to have offered Miss Mateeel Hughes, 1613 Division Street, $200 not to push a case of assault with intent to murder against him. Smith is said to have attacked the girl when he found she was accepting attentions from other men. My, my, my, what an agitation we have started over the definition of a "Whiffenpoof." A Kansas reader avers that everybody is wrong so far; that a "Whiffenpoof" is a bird that eats red pepper and has to fly backwards to keep his tail from catching on fire.

April 22—As a result of the hearing for the petition of the National Equal Rights League last Thursday by the joint committee of House and Senate on Constitutional Law to petition the U. S. Senate and its judicial committee to pass the Dyer Ants-Lynching bill, the resolve was favorably reported yesterday to both branches of the Massachusetts legislature. Saturday the league issued a call to every colored community to observe the centennial of the birth of General and President U. S. Grant on April 25, through branches, leagues or Equal Rights committees quickly organized to honor the memory of that president who protected the rights of colored Americans under the war amendments in the southland by federal soldiers, or through other race, civic or political bodies, and to invite civil war veterans and public magistrates.

McDowell of the University of Chicago Settlement House is soon to leave for a tour of Europe in the interest of friendship between the women of various countries. Miss McDowell is a consistent friend of the Negro; she is chairman of the Inter-Racial Cooperative Committee, and in that capacity has interested herself in the establishment of day nurseries, the convalescent care so little offered to colored girls, the proper disposal of waste in the Second Ward as well as in the Stockyards District where her settlement is located. She is well thought of among the club women of the city, and there also has carried the gospel of understanding and good will. She has recommended books by and about Negroes for the reading of these club women. P --- * * * * and when she has been invited to speak on the social situation, she has often refused to do so unless some representative colored speaker were invited to speak also. In this way she has introduced the better representatives of the two races to each other. Such contact can not help being educational to those who know Negroes only through hearsay and garbled newspaper stories of Negro crime and immorality. It is only fitting that as Miss McDowell soon leaves Chicago she should know that her interest and practical work is highly appreciated by those who benefit from it.

The pastor preached a powerful sermon on, "After This Life, What?" He argued from science, philosophy and revelation for the immortality of the soul. He said that science and philosophy can neither affirm nor deny the immortality of the soul. But revelation goes all the way and declares that man will never die. Jesus rose from the dead and because he rose those who believe him shall likewise rise. The evening service was started off with high enthusiasm by the singing of Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Hill sang a sweet solo, entitled, "What Will You Give in Exchange for Your Soul?"

The present structure, as commodious as it is, will not now hold the ever increasing throng. Dr. Watson, with the permission of the Chief of Police, plans an attack on the very ramparts of the enemy fortification. There will be preaching on the street corner, the highways and byways. The slums will feel the presence of God's victorious army "marching as to war." Come to Pilgrim nightly, but come early if you want a seat.

A large number of colored people are the buyers of mortgage notes and bonds. Whenever a mortgage is given, there is an instrument filed for record pledging certain specified properties to secure the principal and interest of the bonds issued under it. This is done in order to divide up the bonds into a large number and yet give the same measure of protection to each individual holder of bonds. This mortgage is assigned to a trustee. He is the person who represents the bond holders and is responsible to the bond holders for the proper fulfilment of the covenants of the mortgage. He is supposed to perform his duties conscientiously, and does not assume any personal responsibility; his duty is to see that the interest and principal are collected and paid, that the property is kept in the proper state to preserve the security, that the taxes are paid. In default of any of these things he is empowered to bring a foreclosure suit and request the appointment of a receiver. A number of different pieces of real estate can be pledged in one mortgage or trust deed, and bonds or notes can be issued against any of these mortgages, the trustee being responsible for the collection of the interest and principal from all the different mortgages. Such a system as this is the kind of a system that will eventually have to be used in the funding of mortgages by colored property owners if they are to save their property from foreclosure.

Motorman—Oh, no. Half the day I'm running back from it. POLIC ERS. Comes To Friday. April 21 OI NOSEY was "strolling" on 35th Street the other night. It was about 1 o'clock. A business man left his place of business. One of his female employees prepared to depart. The proprietor hid in the shadows in the next block waiting for her to pass, as per his custom. As the girl left the place a cab drew up to the sidewalk, a hand reached out, drew her in and whirled away. The "boss" with his car parked in the next block waited and waited. No girl. He drove home and this night had no tale to tell his wife about being detained at his place of business. It is better not to mis-business and pleasure anyway, he concluded, but he cannot tell what happened to the girl. Yet, Nosey noticed that he did not discharge here. ```markdown ``` ONLY the wise would not fall for the inducement Nosey overhead offered to a young man last Sunday afternoon. A man told the other fellow that he had just left two "beahful girls" down on the lake front. He urged him to come with him to keep them company, while they watched the waves. The young man returned very much frightened and when asked what was the matter told how he was disappointed in the "girls". They were dressed well painted well, beautiful hair in everything but their voices sounded too much like men for them to really be the girls they looked. Then he remembered the last costume ball that he went to and knew at once that these individuals were taking advantage of Easter to mask again. He left them hurriedly and now professes a distaste for the lake and its beautiful waves. 东 南 西 SORROW filled one house on Easter Sunday morning. One of society's best dressed women did not appear in her Easter winter, but retained hom and shed tears. Nosey was passing the house of this beautiful matron and saw and heard the husband ordering the delivery man to take back the packages to the store from which they came. The delivery man protested that they were paid for and he had delivered other stuff the day before. That made hubby go in the house and dig up that and throw at the delivery man, mumbling, "If they are paid for give them to charity." Wife was not at home and he remembered all of her tales about "making over" her dresses since he could not afford to buy new ones. Nosey wonders why the husband was so mad about a new Easter trimmings? . . . EVERYBODY was at the Amateur Minute performance at the Armory. Nosey moved about and danced a great deal, and the things he saw and heard made his long nose wrinkle in many a crooked smile. There was such a big crowd there that no one knew who was there. While dancing Nosey saw one of the queerest exchanges of dancing partners ever made. The man was with his wife and the beautiful girl was with one of Chicago's male flappers. They came close together. Each recognized the other and without a word they changed partners, smiling happily the while. Where there is perfect understanding there is perfect peace. * * * YOU can never tell what an automobile will do. They are much like women. Nosey saw the man drive up to the cabaret with the lady—his own lady love. They sat down. She complained that she was ill. Disappeared, furs and all, saying she would be back. Instead she went out in company with a man who had passed her a note. They road down to the next cabaret in the first gentleman's car. Trying to get back in a hurry the car balked. They left it standing in the street, engaging a taxi. She came, took her seat beside her "steady company," saying "I feel much better. Let's dance." When they left, the simple "steady company" found that his car had been stolen and the lady insisted on a taxi, before the man found out that his auto-keys had been taken from his over-coat pocket, too. She is not worried because she knows that he will never know unless he read this. Moonshine and Woman A mixture of too much moonshine and a belligerent woman landed George Broyle, 30, 551 East 44th Place, in the Provident Hospital Wednesday night. Broyle was struck across the head by Mrs. Estelle Henderson. Invades Man's Home John Peyton, 19, 548 East 37th Street, carried the quarrel into the home of Oscar Cannon, 4551 Vincennes Avenue. The two quarreled and fought. Cannon stopped Peyton with a blow to the temple. He was removed to Fort Dearborn Hospital. Argued Over a Woman An argument, over a woman ended regrettably to John Elders, 29, 5143 Federal Street. Sunday. Elders was stabbed in the shoulder by Gorman Mitchell, the other party to the argument. SOCIETY Miss Ethelyn Crawford, Community Service Worker at Rockford, Illinois, and popular society belle of Philadelphia, spent the Easter holidays in the city.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION By Dr. Troy Smith SYPHILIS A large share of infant mortality, blindness and deafness severe nervous diseases and insanity can be justly blamed to neglected syphilis. Syphilis that is properly treated the required length of time, not only cures the individual and prevents complications, but also protects humanity by keeping others from becoming contaminated. Dear Editor Adams: Without the knowledge of his co-partners, one of my partners in a trading firm in the lumber business subscribed in the firm name to the capital stock of a sawmill. This was done without our knowledge or consent and I want to learn as to whether or not the sawmill company may hold the firm liable?—Marien S., Oklahoma City, Okla. Answer: No. Though the subscription may in fact be for the benefit of the firm, yet such a subscription is not within the implied power of such partners. Dear Editor: A man who was a stranger to me entered my store to buy a jar of preserved fruit. He told me what he wanted and I got it down from the shelf and placed it on the counter. While the buver was taking out his money to pay for it the jar was accidentally broken, neither of us being at fault. The stranger paid for the preserves good naturedly and we became quite friendly. We then discussed the matter as to who was liable. Will you kindly inform us?—George Ackers, New Orleans, La. Answer: You are the one who should have suffered the loss. The ordinary rule that if the contract is a cash transaction payment of the price is a condition precedent to the transfer of possession and title applies here. The promise to deliver, involved in an agreement of sale and the promise to pay the purchase money are mutually dependent. Neither party is bound to perform with contemperanceous performance by the other—M. N. L. Gary Ind. Editor G. C. Adams: Suppose a witness has testified at a previous trial of the same case and he is out of the state when the next trial is called. Although he is requested he refused to attend the second trial. Defendant offered to make proof of what the witness had testified to at the previous trial. Is this sufficient to let in the evidence? Answer: No. If it had been shown that the witness had left the state, and upon diligent inquiry his whereabouts could not be found, then a ground based upon practical necessity would have been laid; but no such necessity exists where for all that appears his evidence might have been taken by a commission or denosition. A column of constructive criticism of men and measures in the hope of correcting errors and evils. Down in the Southland, ignorance and superstition reign supreme in some sections and among some black people. In a Texas town it is said that the black people are loud in the praise of the Ku Klux Klan. These people exalt the outlaw organization because of its attack upon the immoral relation of black women and white men. The multiplicity of evils associated with the Klan smother and stamp out every possible vestige of good that could be possibly developed. Any black man who finds virtue in the Ku Klux Klan is capable of lauding the devil with all of his infernal imps. Unleashed and unrestrained vice has been turned loose in Chicago. Monte Carlo in its balmiest days could not eclipse some of the gambling dens that infest this city and the Barbary coast in San Francisco and the ancient Tenderloin of New York pales into insignificance when compared with the protected inversion and perversion of Chicago's morals.

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. 'SUSTAINED ALLEGIANCE' 'SUSTAINED ALLEGIANCE' Woodrow Wilson writes thru the Associated Press that Senator Reed of Missouri is "incapable of sustained allegiance to any cause." Mr. Wilson has coined an apt phrase that is appropriately suitable to the black people of America—incapable of sustained allegiance to themselves. We have only the records to review to reach the conclusion that so far the black man in this country has proven himself incapable of allying himself with his own people and keeping that alliance and allegiance involate, sacred and sustained. We have been disloyal to our own in business and in politics and in return we find our economic development stunted and a decided retrogression in representation before this Nation. If the success of the black man depends, as the authorities claim, upon his independent development in the economic world then sustained allegiance is the indispensable requisite that is lacking. There must be loyalty, fidelity and honor among ourselves before we can eradicate the disintegrating influences which have caused us to mark time for the last fifteen years. Sustained allegiance will not come over night, but must be infused thru a process of education and a period of years. Hamilcar, the father of Hannibal, almost daily led his young son to the altar of his Gods and there made him swear eternal vengeance to Rome and Hannibal, the great, as history records, was a member of the black race, followed the teachings of his father. We advocate no doctrines of hate and revenge for our enemies. "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord God of Hosts, I will Repay." But every member of the black race should be taught the lesson of racial consciousness, race pride and race loyalty. If the black man will learn to love himself and take pride in his racial identity, if the idea of "hero worship" which has foiled his progress is abused, then we will become capable of "sustained" allegiance to ourselves. We must become competent to support and build our own industries and finance our own schools, churches and political campaigns, then we will begin to receive the recognition and respect that is at present denied us. Sustained allegiance is an earmark of character and no man or race of men can possess distinctive character who does not respect himself. The black race must build up the qualities which will insure "sustained allegiance." GIVE US A LIBRARY One of the most wholesome of civic institutions is a library. There is none easily accessible to the citizens of Chicago's Southside. It is tabulated by expert statisticians that over a hundred thousand people live in this particular district and over eighty per cent of them are members of the black race. If the Southside is the rendezvous of vice and immorality, as is claimed, and if the city officials wish to correct some of the corrupt living and offensive practices, an appropriation for the establishment of a public library is one of the best methods to convince the general public that the administration is serious about making Chicago a clean place. A library gives unlimited advantages to those who yearn for knowledge and information. Many young men and women would be weaned away from vicious influences and would be turned around in careers that point now to ultimate disaster. Those who are rearing families and hope to build up future citizens, who will reflect pride and credit upon the commonwealth will do well to write their alderman and request that this matter be presented to the board of education, the city council and the mayor himself. A library in the immediate vicinity of the "black belt" is the one gift within the grace of Mayor Thompson's administration that would live and endure the rise and fall of politicians and would bear mute testimony to the interest of his offices in the welfare of our citizens of the black race. "BIRTHRIGHT" "BIRTHRIGHT" "Birthright," the novel which has been released thru the columns of the Century Magazine, falls flat and fails dismally. Without malice to Mr. Stribling, author of the book and a white man, we must say that he was in wonderful knowledge of his theme to such an extent that many queries have arisen as to whether Mr. Stribling was really a white man. This story started off with more realism than "Main Street," and boded fair to lay out the cold, stark facts of the race question without bias or prejudice. The fact that the title "Birthright" is in no sense logically connected with the contorted end of the story proves that Mr. Stribling, in the words of Upton Sinclair, was "brass checked," meaning that the curse of American prejudice prevented him from giving the story to the press as he had originally written it. "Birthright" is a failure, but Mr. Stribling would have astounded America if pressure had not forced him to twist and distort his plot. Mr. Stribling lacked courage, not brains. THE CHICAGO WHIP HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith SYPHILIS. "The Third Great Plague, a book written by Dr. J. N. Stokes, on page 108 points out the following eight measures to be considered in the prevention of syphilis. First, he emphasizes that first class treatment should be made available to all. Second, "Proper aids to diagnosing be made available to all." Third, "Suppression of quacks, drug store treatment and advertising of cures." Fourth, "Moral and educational prevention and vigorous suppression of prostitution." Fifth, he advises the general instruction in prevention of syphilis for the population at large. Sixth, "Compulsory measures and penalties obliging patients to receive and continue treatment regardless of their own desires." Seventh, "Notification to health authorities." This measure is in force in the state of Illinois and also 43 others. If you have syphilis that is in a contagious state, your physician reports the case, but not the name. The law calls for no violation of professional confidence as long as the patient plays fair with himself and the physician. Eighth, "Indirect legislation to prevent marriage of the venereally infected either by releasing the physician from the bond of professional confidence, or requiring health certificates before marriage and annulment of the marriage if the infection is discovered."

Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith Editor, Cleveland, Ohio cigarette GAINES EXPRESSSES GRATITUDE (Gentlemen) I wish to thank you for the sponsorship support given me in the column of your excellent paper during my course. I am grateful to Senatorial District. Your paper has consistently championed the cause of good government, fairness and justice to all groups alike. Without doubt THE Senatorial District has a tremendous influence upon the electorate of the colored districts in our city. Although the published returns show that I was defeated at the polls, we should not be discouraged. The principles expounded by THE WHIP, and the principles expounded by THE WHIP, merely delayed from being put into effect until another day. Our cause is the cause of right and justice to all the interest of all. Our fight for good government is too far too great to permit us to concern ourselves about any one man's welfare, and the fight must be continued. I stand ready to join with THE WHIP, we are ready to fight for justice for which we battle. The victory shall be ours and it shall be won as all great victories are won by clean and honest fighting for the injustice—the cause of Justice and Fairness. I believe that THE WHIP deserves the support and encouragement of all lovers of justice and fair play. Heres hoping for you continued success and prosperity. Very sincerely yours, Harris B. Gaines.

The odious word "slave" in the sense in American law, the proclamation by President Lincoln that abolished it, was originally the name of a great branch of the human race. It was the name among whom the Russians, the Poles and the Czechs are numbered. In the early wars between the Germans and the Slaves, the Slavic captives were used in parts of America prior to the Civil War. Hence, a bondman was a German as a slave or slave by the Germanic conquerors. BOOK REVIEW By Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Civilization in the United States." "An Inquiry by Thirty Americans." Edited by Harold E. Stearns. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York City, Price, $5.00. Postage 20 cents extra. This ponderous volume is made up of thirty essays on various phases of life in America. It is the essay on Racial Minorities that we want to consider. The essay is written by Gerald Tanquary Robinson, a Virginian by birth at present a member of the Editorial Staff of the Freeman. He opens his article as follows: "In America the race problem is not only without answer, it is even without formulation. In the face of ordinary economic, political and religious difficulties people habitually formulate creeds which give a kind of rhyme or reason to their actions; but where inter-racial relations are concerned, the leaders go pussy-footing all around the fundamental question, while the emotions of the masses translate themselves into action and action back again into emotion, with less consideration of means and ends than one expects of the maddest bomb-thrower." This is an enlivening coming and Mr. Robinson keeps up our appreciative interest to the end of his pages. His racial minorities include the Negro, the Indian, the Jew and the Asiatic. He has no solution of the Negro question, but he does give a few important conclusions: That the inherent inferiority of any human race has never been established by historical, biological or psychological evidence. That economic competition is an important factor in race prejudice. That an improvement in the economic and social condition of a minority race does not prepare the way to race fusion but has just the opposite effect. That the race problem has never been solved by a direct attack upon it. That as a separate problem it seems insoluble in the United States. This does not get us very far, perhaps, but the article is an interesting argument, and calls, as Seligmann's "Negro Faces America" called, for a thorough study of racial conditions. There is an interesting comparison between the United States' treatment of the Indian and the Negro. We have often been told that the Negro was naturally more submissive than the Indian, who refused to be a slave but Robinson points out that the settler in the United States wanted land from the Indian rather than labor: "It the early white settlers had so desired, they of course could have enslaved a considerable portion of the Indian population, just as the Spaniards did in regions farther to the southward. However, the American chose to drive the Indians inland, and to replace them in certain regions with African tribesmen who in their native state had been perhaps as warlike as the Indians themselves. Thus in the natural course or events the African warrior was lost in the slave, while the Indian chief continued to be the military opponent rather than the economic servant of exploitation, and eventually gained romantic interest by virtue of this fact." Government interference and standardized schools, however, are fast destroying that which was picturesque in Indian civilization. Of California's treatment of the Japanese, we hear that: "At bottom the spirit of the California Land Laws is more than a little like that of a Georgia Lynching." Of the Jewish racial minority, the writer thinks race prejudice comes largely from jealousy of the Jew as a competitor, and he points to the increase from 1,500,000 in 1906 to 3,000,000 in 1918 in the Jewish population. The whole book with its thirty authors is a severe arrangement of civilization in the United States. Not much is left of our concept when we are through. We learn from Spingarn, (our Major Spingarn), from Britten, from Stearns, and from Robert H. Lowie of the inadequacy, often the stupidity, of our education. The colleges have destroyed pretty much all scholarship. Our great historians, for instance, Motley, Prescott, Bancroft, Parkman did not write within university walls. And if we fail in education we are close to nonentities in art, music and in the drama. Van Wyk Brooks has a good word to say for our poetry. He loves the young, exuberant freeversifiers of today. H. L. Mencken handles the subject of politics and leaves not a reputation behind. The book gives us an impression of a very crude, loud-voiced, unlovely land. This is partly because the more democratic we get the more conventional we become. Behold one of the paradoxes of life! To he a good fellow, a good sport—the goal of American endeavor—you must never do anything original. You must follow the custom of the country, if you won't do this, and it, like a certain college freshman, you refuse to wear a prescribed freshman's cap, you must not expect your college president to protect you against torture, you must accept his dictum that you wear the cap or leave college. This is the most damaging note in the book. Think if all diversity leaves the world, if everyone dives like everyone else (they do that pretty much already), if we all play the same games, laugh at the same jokes, eat the same food and weep at the same sorrows. All America cut on just the same pattern! It is something to have our stupidity revealed to us as it is in this volume on Civilization in the United States. WHAT'S THE ANSWER? CHILDISH INNOCENCE Q. When a fast young man says, "I think I had better marry and settle down," what would you advise instead? Little Jack, aged five, listened while his mother and the street car conductor argued about his fare. "How old is the boy?" sternly asked the conductor. A. Better stay single and settle up. The mother explained that he was six. Q. Which of the children does a mother love the best? The conductor passed on, the alteration sank into silence. Then while every one's attention still was focused on Jack and his mother the clear childish voice piped up: Q. What is the difference between an apple and a girl? A. You have to squeeze the apple to get cider, but you have to get sid'er to squeeze her. Q. What man has his eyes in the back of his head? "I'm five and mother's thirty-five. An' yet she only pays twice as much for herself as she pays for me!" A. He whose hind sight is better than his foresight. 4430 SOUTH STATE ST.
