PREACHERS FIGHT MIDNIGHT DUEL PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. IV.—No. 31 VICE LAY DOWN THEIR BIBLES TO FIGHT DUEL MINISTERS WAGE WAR OVER ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 5—Mrs. Julia Macgowan, chancery and stute of #89 West Lexington Avenue, was the cause of two ministers putting down their bibles, taking off their coats and beginning the study of war. Up until Wednesday night at twelve o'clock Rev. Walter Murray of 523 Gilmer Street and Pastor of the Methodist Protestant Church and Rev. William Wood, not occupying a charge at the present, were the best ministers, locked out they both were unattended on the same sister then the fireworks broke out. Use Razors On Wednesday night when Rev. Wood arrived at the home of his lady love he was surprised and incensed to and "Brother" Murray perched up in a rocking chair and making himself entirely at home. Hot words immediately ensued, not Sunday school words either, finally the reverend gentlemen declared war and the midnight duel of the preacher from the pockets of the preacher from the pockets were used with such telling effect that over fifty sitches were taken by the hospital surgeon. Rev. Wood, remembering the story of "Rebecca at the well," reached over and grabbed a pitcher and broke it over the head of Brother Murray. Sister Macgowan reached for her geyser, but one of the "bidders" was too fast for her and knocked it upon the floor and all three were in a mad scramble for the shooting iron when the police came upon the preacher the fighting parens to the police station together with lady love. Close Their Mouths Both Rev. Woods and Rev. Murray swathed in bandages and barely recognizable refused to prosecute the other, but the judge decided both were guilty of disorderly conduct and disturbance of the peace and lined them twenty-five dollars and costs. Sister Macgowan was also lined twenty dollars and was compelled to tell the husband, married, but her husband was on the verge of death. When leaving the court room 'Preecher Wood retinaked to "Elder" Murray that he was through and would never again touch for 'idden fruit. Slashes His Way to Get From Mob C. H. Thofferle (white), 4089 Ogden Avenue, is in the hospital suffering from a dozen knife wounds as a result of his "Bully Tactics." It is said that he was one in a party of eight strikers who tried to gang a crowd of colored strikebreakers on a crowded Fourteenth Street car. The colored men had just left their work at the B. & O. shops, 14th and Wood Streets, when a crowd of (white) hoodlums led by Thofferle, started to the car yelling like wild men, and at the same time hurling vile epithets at them. An unknown colored passenger on the car suddenly drew a huge knife and with herculean strength began slashing his way to freedom. Three men trailing the street car took Thofferle to a nearby hospital. Breaks Away From Jail in Pajamas WARRENSVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 1. —Eighteen months is too long a time for a globe trotter to speak in one place. At least this seems to be the way Charles Washington of Cleveland felt about the matter. By nature Washington is a traveling man. Pondering over having to stay 17 more months in the workhouse preyed upon his mind considerably, so he just got up and walked away. According to reports, early last Friday morning while the other prisoners were asleep Washington slipped an overcoat over his pajamas and walked to freedom. So far, "search for the man in pajamas" has been fruitless. The Chicago Whip Death Uncovers Two Wives and Double Life Not until Taylor Sheffey, alias Thomas Sheffey, of this city was on his death bed did his friends or relatives know that he was leading a double life. It was when he requested his "Common Law Wife" while he was dying in bed to wire his legal wife in Washington, D. C., of his state. Mr. Thomas Sheffey, who was then known as Taylor Sheffey, married Mrs. Sheffey in Wythe County, Virginia, in 1877, and after the birth of four daughters the family moved to Washington, D. C., where she acquired the acquaintance of a woman who was known as "Marie" and later he became greatly infatuated with her and his attentions to his wife became slack. Moved to Chicago After the birth of a child to "Marie" Sheffey deserted his legal wife in Washington and moved his common law family to Chicago, where he has been very properous. He amassed an estate worth ten thousand and dollars. Fight for Estate Sheffey died on May 12, 1922, in the home of his common law wife on 1715 Stenbilt Street, Morgan Park, Chicago. A fight for the estate of the deceased is now begun by the two wives of the man. Attorney Benjamin W. Clayton representing Mrs. Sheffey of Washington, insists that his clients are the lawful heirs and will take to the exclusion of the common law family and that legitimate children can not in fact be admitted to the state of Illinois. Mrs. Sheffey of Chicago claims that she will fight to the end for her and her child's rights FITZMORRIS UNFIT TO BE POLICE CHIEF Chief of Police Charles C. Fitzmorris was declared to be unworthy of the confidence of the people of Chicago as the superintendent of police in resolution adopted at the joint meeting on the directors of the Chicago Law and Order League and the Hode Park Protective Association yesterday.

Chicago Law & Order Lea. 10 Don't Want Black Men in Federal Jobs NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 1—A staff representative of the New Orleans Times-Pacific seems to be worried for tear Walter Cohen, a New Orleans black man would be appointed to an office in that city, Mr. Wooton, the representative in question, calls attention to the fact that President Harding's policy was never to appoint black men for federal jobs in the South but that recently there were rumors of a change of this policy, especially in connection with the Naval Office at New Orleans. This office does not require contact with the public and has been held by Negroes during several other public administrations. Negro voters in the north, according to Mr. Wooton, have been hardliner Harding's policy and consequently Republican leaders thought that a large number of black people would vote with the democrats unless further recognition is given to the race. Walter Cohen was mentioned for this office soon after the republicans came into power and was offered his choice of two positions under the republican administration but he was unable to accept because his private business required his residence in New Orleans. Dies at Age of 107 Was Too Old for Civil War SENATOBIA, Miss., Aug. 5.—Ben Edwards, a black man, died in his home here today at the age of 107 "Uncle Ben" as he was known to all of his associates was born in South Carolina in 1815 and came to Mississippi 75 years ago and cleared the farm where he lived until his death When the city was started, Uncle Ben the school teacher of the South and it was in his care that many of his friends left their families until their return. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1922 NEAR G REFUSES TO SING "OLD BLACK JOE" AND "DIXIE" MUSICIANS REFUSE TO PLAY "OLD BLACK JOE AND "DIXIE." BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 5. —Frederick Huber, director of Thomas' concert Band, one of the most popular entertainment institutions in this city, has established a new policy for future programs. Director Huber wrote a letter to his band leader recently to the effect that he was going to change his programme features because he had noticed that his audiences did not join heartily in the singing of plantation melodies and slavery time songs and that in some instances the song "Disie" was booted and leered. Makes New Program In place of Dixie, Old Black Joe, Swance River and Massa's In De Cold, Cold Ground New Songs Like Smiles, Silver Threads Among the Gold, Till We Meet Again will be substituted. Mr. Huber the audiences will be asked to form and sing these substitutes for the unpopular melodies. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 5—Koobert L. Young (white, d. St. Joseph) candidate for the Democratic nomination for U. S. Senator in a letter made public, said he received notice from the Ku Klux Klan to remove a campaign advertisement which he had contracted for insertion in the Jewish Record, a local Hebrew language newspaper, because the "JEW is after the almighty dollar and to hell with the country." Counsel for the paper announced suit, could be filed against Young to collect the sum of money due it under the contract. SEGREGATION IS FOUGHT IN GALVESTON GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 5.—The Lions Club, supposedly a first-class white club in Galveston, Texas, recently sent Brantley Harris, A. S. Fish and L. W. Garnetson as representatives to appear before the city commissioners to argue for further segregation of negroes on Galveston bathing beaches. The beaches are already segregated therefore, the effort now is to segregate further, to "shunt" race people six or seven squares away from the nearest places frequented by whites. Allen Perkins appeared on behalf of the colored people of Galveston and argued against any further action. The Lions argued that since segregation was valid for transportation, education and social relations, it ought also to be valid for bathing. Mr. Perkins, however, seems to have the better of the argument for the board deferred action and Commissioner Norman declared that whenever whites and negroes were bathing together, he would vote in favor of such an ordinance as the one proposed but "not when conditions here didn't warrant such segregation." Modern Gladiators Settle Argument MEMPIHS, Tenn., Aug. 5.—Tom Jackson and John Hunt, bellhops at a local hostelry, done with an argument over the possession of a nickel, started to prove it to each other that "Might Makes Right." Tom had a knife and John soon became the possessor of a long cut on the left check. When arrested by the police, Tom stated that he was just fooling with Hunt. "Foolin' nothin'" he almost cut my head off replied John. A guest at the hotel had tipped one of them and the other became jealous. Complications immediately set in which cost each of them $25.00. The nickel which caused the argument is still at large. --- Insane Preacher Says Lord Told Him to Kill Jailer FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 2. --Finner Pribble, 26, county jailer, was fatally wounded Friday in the corridor of the Lincoln County courthouse. He died three hours later. Jim Moore, a prisoner, is charged with the shooting. Six shots were fired, five taking effect. After shooting the jailer the black man beat him into unconsciousness with the butt of the pistol, according to statements of trustees and other prisoners. Moore, who was formerly a minister, is said to have suffered frequent attacks of insinuation, asked why he shot the jailer, he replied: "The Lord told me to." DODGES SLEDGE HAMMER BLOW GETS LYNCHED TEXARKANA, Tex., Aug. 5.—John West, a black man, today lies dead, murdered by white men in Texarkana, Ark. He had quarrelled with Henry Worthington, a white man, who was foreman of the giving gang with which West labored. Argument Over Cup Worthington, the boss of the gang, got insanely angry when West was seen taking a drink of water out of a rusty cup which the foreman had used. He came rushing up to the black man yelling "nigger, don't you know better than to drink out of the same cup that a white man uses." West meekly answered that he did not know that the foreman used the cup and that he was thirsty and hot and that was the only thing he saw around that he could drink out of. Worthington, boiling over with rage, seized a sledge hammer and swung at the black man's head who dodged and picked up another sledge hammer and struck Worthington across the shoulder. West that night received a letter in him to leave town immediately. He was told that the train was stopped and a mob of whites took the black man from the lim Crow car and shot him to death. His body was literally riddled with bullets. Officers claim that they can and no trace of the murders. Couldn't Spell World and They Killed Him Couldn't Spell World and They Killed Him LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 5.—The pronunciation or mispronunciation of a word was blamed by the police today for the slaying last night of Chas. Cole, a porter, and the arrest of A. D. Matthews, owner of a restaurant, for murder. Cole asked Matthews to go to a drug store and purchase some caustic for him. Matthews, anxious to oblige a patron, did so. But he misunderstood what Cole said, and asked the druggist for some "hoss-tick." The denial of the clerk that he had any such thing in his stock convinced Matthews that Cole had been joking him. He demonstrated with Cole. Both were said to have left the cafe and to have returned with pistols. Nine shots were fired before Cole was killed the police stated. Dry Agents Trail and Kill Bootlegger NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 5.—Jim Chambers, slayer of prohibition agents, H. H. Fisher and C. E. Freeman (both white) of this city was tracked down and shot to death by dry agents from Norfolk today. Last Sunday morning Fisher and Freeman happened upon the still where Chambers was working and it is thought that Chambers fearing the hand of the law opened fire on the two agents which proved fatal. After the news of the killing had roached Norfolk, a number of men volunteered their services and tracked Chambers to a ticker near the city where he was shot on sight; his body was riddled with bullets.

HER HUSBAND TOO CRUEL GETS DIVORCE Mrs. Irene Coleman Ross, 4808 Prairie Avenue, filed her bill for divorce against James Ross, and therein alleged that they were married November 29, 1911, in Pine Bluff, Ark; that she had spent a fortune on him in her effort to have him engage in a gainful occupation but on the contrary the only thing he could successfully do was to do the Jack Dempsey on her jaw. She testified that since October, 1912, he continuously beat her until she became a nervous wreck. When she explained to Judge Charles A. McDonald that Mrs. Ross had helped accumulate property worth $15,000 and that she had divorced and all of the property. Mrs. Ross was formerly a teacher in the high school of Pine Bluff, where she taught for many years. Garvey Marries BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 3.—Marcus Garvey, styled the President of Africa, has launched upon the matrimonial seas not on the Black Star line either. He was married last week to Miss Amy E. Jacques at the residence of Rev. J. L. Diggs. The bride's home is in Kansas City and the groom's in Jamaica, West India Island. Garvey gave his age as thirty-five. The President's first ship on the sea on marriage was sunk sometime ago in the divorce courts of New York. Officer Thrown From Car COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 5—After arresting a black man and woman for speeding, Officer W. W. Norton of this city barely escaped death today when he was brushed from the car when the driver drove close to a tree. Norton asserts that he had placed the two under arrest and directed the driver to drive to the nearest police box where he intended to call the police patrol.

C., Aug. 2.—President Harding, the United States Secret Service and the police are trying to figure out the why and wherefore of a beating given the President's colored messenger, Bush Mickey. Mickey is 24 years old and affirms that he hasn't an enemy in the world that he knows of. He was returning from an errand for the President and was within 50 feet of the White House, on Executive Avenue, when an automobile drove alongside, a white man jumped out and the attack began. No one said a word, Mickey made no outcry and except for two witnesses at a distance, it went unnoticed. The assailant used both fists, and when he had discolored both of the messenger's eyes, grabbed his victim and proceeded to slam him against the White House picket fence. Another black employee of the President dashed out as if to come to Mickey's rescue, but changed his mind and returned. A few moments later the white man, satisfied with results, jumped in his car and sped away. Convict Tries To Escape, is Killed DILLON, S. C., Aug. 5.—While trying to escape from the state penitentiary at Dillon, S. C., Floyd Fank, black convict of that institution was shot and killed today by Elwood Staples, white guard of the prison. Second Attempt to Gain Liberty A few months ago Fank escaped from the penitentiary and wandered up to Pennsylvania, where he was later apprehended and brought back to this city. Fank was shot just as he was attempting to cross a small stream just outside the walls of the prison and the prison officials believe that the gun wound was not the cause of his death, but that death was caused by drowning. --- --- Though the notorious Douglas Buffet has been closed by the police and its inmates driven from 3538 Prairie Avenue to parts unknown, after the startling expose by The Chicago Whip, only the surface of the horrible vice situation in the second ward has been touched. Prostitution of the vilest sort still is rampant in neighborhoods where respectability is vainly trying to hold up its head and where decency is the watchword of some of Chicago's oldest families—all in open and notorious defiance of law—apparently with its protection, since complaints fail to remove these evils. Fifth faunts itself in the face of innocent children, degeneracy pokes its vile face into the very doors of adolescent womanhood almost at every turn. Some time ago a card bearing the single inscription, "3617 Indiana Avenue, Entrance In Basement," was thrust into the hands of an investigator of the Chicago Whip, who immediately followed instructions and found the residence just a few doors from the Y. W. C. A. Shameless women of both races here conduct for fixed sums exhibitions of unspeakable deprivacy, pandering to the lowest and basest instinct of the brute in man, Jewish "ropers" sit in cars in front, hailing every man who looks like he may be a "live one" with the words, "Want to go in, Buddie?" pointing at the same time to the door where shines a bright light behind a fast closed glass door. Even the investigator of the Whip was unctuously ushered in to the den, which recked with cigarette smoke and varied brands of perfume. He did not remain, as evidence had already been secured. This hell-hole of iniquity seems to enjoy, with many other places, an immunity which has no parallel, as complaint after complaint has brought no action and the only fight seems to be between those who control the "solicitive privilege" for the "girls" who accost men on Indiana Avenue. It has been shown that if the "boss" of that section of the street has not been "seen," the girls soon find themselves in the toils of the law and can only secure immunity properly paying this欠押. This欠押 faces the clear eyes of girls who work and make their home within the cloistered walls of the Y, W, C, A., vicious men from all parts of the city vie with those of wealth who come to this neighborhood for the baset indulgence known to the underworld, all flaunted in the face of decent people who must live in the neighborhood. Gambling Wide Open Gambling, the twin of prostitution, runs wide open and the policy games are fleecing hundreds of innocent victims out of thousands of dollars at each drawing at their headquarters in the midst of the business district of the Southside. Policy Slips and other gambling features will be exposed in a later article. (Another Article by De Silva next week will show further the vice conditions of the Second Ward.) Claim Dyer Bill is Not Sectional WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1—Denial that the Dyer anti-lynching bill was "sectional" was made in a report filed today by Senator Shortridge, Republican, California, for a majority of the senate judiciary committee which recently ordered a favorable report on the measure. The evil it is designed to cure is not mentioned in a particular section or state, north or south, cast or west," said the report, which asserted the bill was not constitutional.

C., July 13.—"There is more lawlessness in the city of New York in one week than there is in the state of Georgia in a year," declared Senator Harris, Democrat Georgia, a afternoon when the matter of lynchings came up in the Senate. He cited a few instances but did not go into details. The trouble started when Calder, Republican, New York, inserted in the record a newspaper account of the recent lynching in Wayne County, Ga., of two negroes under sentence of death who had been respited by Gov. Hardwick. Senators Harris of Georgia, Dial of South Caroline and Shields of Tennessee, resented the action of the New York senator. Senator Harris said insertion of such a story was an attempt to exaggerate lawlessness in the South. Reading from a New York newspaper of today, Harris recited a few of the crimes committed in that city within the past few hours, including the murders of a 12-year-old child, an Italian, a Jew. This was but a partial list, he said, and the daily list of crime in New York, including murders and holdups, was too long for the record. Let South Solve Question "The south should be left alone to settle its negro question. It is doing the best it can and interference from states will hinder the people of the South and Georgia deplore lynchings, just as the good people of other states deplore them. "Many negroes have gone north and received treatment different from what they have expected. Some of them have returned and said they suffered more in the north than in the south and have been glad to come back home where they are well treated. Negroes who come north expecting preferential treatment and employment have been disappointed." Harris was resentful because Senator Harris inserted the newspaper story in the Record while both Senators Harris and Watson Georgia were absent from the chamber. This story said Governor Hardwick had offered a high reward for the lynchers and was determined to break up lynching. "Every Georgia governor that I have ever known, including the present one" said Senator Harris, "has depreciated lynching. But with the record in his own city and state the senator from New York ought not to raise a sectional issue here. So long as I am in the Senate I will never raise a sectional issue, arranging north against south or east against west, for this is one country and we all fought together to make it the greatest in the world." Senator Shields interjected with the statement that Senator Calder had not mentioned lawlessness in the north. "He did not say anything about the recent terrible massacre of miners at Herrin, Ill., almost in the shadow of the city hall of Chicago," exclaimed Senator Shields. "We do not know how many were killed. It runs anywhere from 25 to 40, according to account, but we know that 16 unidentified miners were buried after the massacre." Herrin an Awful Massacre "These men who were lynched had committed no crime. They were lynched after they had surrendered and raised the white flag. It was a horrible massacre. Even a fireman, who couldnt run, was clobbed and beaten. And that was out near Chicago and the local authorities have done nothing about it and are not trying to punish the lynchers. It is to the credit of the attorney general of Illinois that in the past day or so he has started an investigation. The city council and sheriff at Herrin have ignored this awful affair and refused to act against this mob, which is reported to have represented 5,000 persons." Senator Dail of South Carolina said Senator Calder had put into the record a statement at Georgia unnothing, when neither of the senators in state was present to reply immediately. Senator Harris took the floor as soon as he heard of it. Will Object to All Such Matter "I started to object myself," said Senator Dial, "but the article having no reference to South Carolina, I did not. "I do not approve of lynching either north or south, but no section of the country has any advantage over another section when we come to consider lawless acts in the United States. There is too much lawlessness everywhere. "I serve notice I am going to object from now on to much of this matter such as the senator from New York inserted in the Record. We are about to make a yellow journal out of it. I am going to object here to such matter and have here an official publication representing the best sentiment of the Senate and not have in the Record what any muckraker may say of some particular section of this country." Mistakes Cop For Striker, Lands in Jail OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 5—Mistaken a policeman on duty for a striker last night, Robert Rafew, black employee of the Santa Fe Railroad, opened fire on the patrolman. The cop immediately returned the fire and several shots were exchanged before Rafew was taken into custody. Rafew claims that he thought the patrolman was a striker as he had been accosted by three strikers as he had left a street car on his way home. He darted into a vacant lot and when the patrolman approached he opened fire. Rafew was held for investigation. JAIL HAITIAN EDITOR FOR LOAN FIGHT New York, Aug. 1, 1922—J. Jolibois, of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, editor of Le Courier Haitien, a leading newspaper of Haiti, was twice arrested and confined to jail during the month of June for protesting against certain financial powers in the United States forcing a loan of $40,000,000 on the Haitian government, according to a letter received and made public today by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. M. Jolibois has been one of the most outspoken of Haitian leaders in denouncing the acts of the American Occupation. Johnson Comments In commenting on the arrest of Mr. Jolibois and the causes of his having been imprisoned, Mr. Johnson said: "It is obvious that the efforts now being made to force this loan of forty million dollars on the Haitian Government, with the Haitians declare they do not need and do not want, is for the cause of future justification of continuance of the occupation of Haiti by the United States Government. When unpleasantly direct demands are made on the American Government in the future to end the occupation of this republic, the obvious retort will be that such a step would be impracticable until money loaned by American banking houses is renpaid. "The arrest and imprisonment of M. Jolibois for during to speak out on a matter regarding which there should be the utmost freedom of speech and press is simply another incident in what is already a record of imperial despotism. In spite of the recent report by the Senate Committee, headed by Senator McCormick of Illinois, which almost completely absolves the Occupation of all blame, the case of M. Jolibois is indicative of just what our neighbors to the south are undergoing in the process of 'benevolent tutelage' by the American Government." Puts Fire To His Own Home For Insurance ST. LOUIS, Moe, July 31.—Rudolph Barnett, a black man who resides at 2743 Morgan Street, was arrested in his home today by Police of the Seventh District on a charge of suspected larceny. Barnett is suspected of firing his home and destroying property. When firemen answered the fire alarm that came from the Seventh district, they found a three-story brick house at 2743 Morgan Street ablaze. After the blaze was under control and the cause of the fire investigated it was learned that Barnett had thrown two lighted oil lamps on the kitchen floor and demolished most of the furniture in the house by throwing it from the window to the street below. Barnett refused to give the police any reasons for his actions and he is being held until his case can be brought before the circuit attorney. Fraternal Man Has Stroke PIXE BLUFF, ARK, July 31st — P.

Wright and Wilson's wife went away together about two months ago, according to Wilson's statement. Wilson found his wife near High and Hill Street Monday night and stopped to ask her why she left home. About that time Wright arrived, "then the fun began." When it was over Wilson was down in the final count with a stab wound in his right lung and his face was literally covered with gashes. He was taken to the general hospital. TWO MONTHS OF MARRIED LIFE ENOUGH Mary Nickens, 3031 Sheffield Avenue, filed her bill of complaint against Harry Nickens, her husband, and was granted a decree of divorce by Judge Charles A. McDonald of the Superior Court, when she testified that they were married June 26, 1918, in Crown Point, Ind., and that Harry left her August 1, 1918, for a trip to Hog Island, Pa., to work in the ship yards and promised to send for her. Her attorneys produced a letter which she had sent to her wayward spouse for his return but which letter was not received as Harry had left for parts unknown.

HITS WIFE IN JAW AND SHE GETS DIVORCE Mrs. Francis Butler, 4752 Champlain Avenue, was granted a divorce from her husband, Roger Butler, 332 Michigan Avenue, when she told Judge Charles McDonald of the Superior Court that her husband was the "most cruelest man ever." Through her attorneys, Ellis & Westbrooks, her bill of complaint charged that he beat her so many times until she lost count of the number but particularly on March 20, 1922, while he was intoxicated he slapped her in the face on October 4, 1922, when she beat her. She further stated that he thought by his marriage to her he would acquire her wealth, but when she refused to settle an allowance on him he became dissatisfied and begun to assault her. The couple were married August 18, 1921, and separated March 20, 1922, which seven months she stated were all but happiness. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 3.—William Bates and Homer Brown, a black, both striking shopmen, are held by policemen here on murder charges in connection with the deaths of White Willis and Elbert Wade, black, car repairers, for the Illinois Central Railroad, who were shot while leaving the shops early today. Bates is held on the strength of a signed statement which police say Willis made a short time before death, and in which, it is alleged, he claimed he was shot by Bates. Bates denies having been in the neighborhood of Willis when the two black men were shot by a crowd of men in an automobile. Other arrests in the case are expected police declare. CHANGE IN THE WORLD IN THE WEEK Turns Black NEW YORK CITY, July 31.... You may turn black when you die and your own brother may not recognize you—that is if your skin is light. It happened in New York to George Miller. Miller committed suicide on the 11th of July, his body was discovered by his brother on the 13th, but he was not recognized because he had turned completely black—the result of exposure. Charley Miller, his brother, was hard to convince that the man with the black skin, who lay rigid and silent in death at the morgue, was his dear brother. Queer thing the color of skins anyway.

It is a 32-pitted booklet, entitled, "The Next Emancipation," written by James Oneal, and published by The Emancipation Publishing Company, of New York City. "The Next Emancipation," referred to in the pamphlet, is, of course, the coming emancipation from wage slavery. The pamphlet explains clearly just why the emancipation of the Negroes from chattel slavery did not solve the Negro problem. It is a labor problem—and the problem of Negro workers and white workers is one and the same problem. The Socialist program of transferring the great industries from private ownership and operation to social ownership and operation—and forever abolishing the robbery of the many by the few—is explained.

Labor Agents After Black Men Fined Labor Agents After Black Men Fined BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 5.—Ed Dickens, agent of a large northern concern, whose business is to assemble black labor in the South for northern industries, was arrested by deputies of state license Inspector Finch's office and charged with committing a misdemeanor. When arraigned before Judge H. B. Abernathy, in county court, he was fired $4,312. Most of the southern states have enacted laws prohibiting labor agents from seeking black labor for northern industry, in order to curb the steady exodus that has heretofore taken place. It is said that this superannuated judge at a meeting of the Southern Sociological Congress a few years ago made the statement that "God almighty made the negro to hew wood and draw water, I am opposed to the education of them." Colored Federal Soldiers Guard Texas R.R.Shops Colored Federal Soldiers Guard Texas R.R.Shops WACO, Tex., Aug. 1—Two cars loads of black Federal soldiers passed through Waco this afternoon on a special train over the International and Great Northern Line bound for Fort Worth to guard the Texas and Pacific Railroad shops. The men said they were from San Antonio. They carried complete field equipment. One carload of equipment, including cots, tents and groceries passed through here attached to the Texas Special bound for Denison, according to railroad officials. The equipment was sent from Austin. Major C. A. Adams, by order of Governor Neft, left Crowell this afternoon for Vernon, Texas, with trucks and cars carrying 100 men who compose Company I, and headquarters of the Third Battalion, One Hundred and Forty-Second Infantry.

Burn Mortgage, Send Ashes To Churches --- EVANSTON, III., Aug. 5—(Special)—The National Baptist Convention which convenes at Nashville September 6 at 10:30 a.m. is to witness a novel event, if the predictions of Dr. E. P. Jones, who is just home from a tour of the South, is verified. A balance of $10,750 is owed on the mortgage indebtedness, every dollar of which must be paid on the 7th of September, or an embarrassment will confront the denomination. "From all indications," said he, "not only will the mortgage be paid, and the papers burned, but the ashes will be given to the pastors to be carried home to their churches and kept as a souvenir marking full payment for the $25,000 plant purchased more than five years ago. The budget prepared for the national convention provides for $50,000, $15,000 of which is to be given to the foreign mission board and the balance divided among the other boards. "I am certain now," said Dr. Jones, "after meeting thousands of our people and hundreds of our pastors as well as many of our associates, they are determined to mortgage. The appeal asks that each pastor and husband should send $100 for each association $25 and each pastor $10. A new feature of the convention will be a complete report showing the total membership, valuation of property, money raised and expended, as well as additions to the 15,000 churches affiliated with the convention.

THE CHICAGO WHIP Catch Black Man, White Aid Escapes Catch Black Man, White Aid Escapes SYLVANIA, Ga., Aug. 5. While attempting to enter this city today with an auto full of liquor, Ben Wilson, a black man was caught by Chief of County Police Dickey. The chief had been tipped off that two men were headed towards the city with a Buick car loaded with "moonshine" so he waited in for them on the Dixie highway. When the car came into view, it stopped and the black man was sent ahead to see if anyone was watching the road and he was nabbed, the white man turned his car and started in the opposite direction at a high rate of speed. Williams was put in the police car and then the chief gave chase, when the runner saw that the police were gaining on him he left his car and escaped into the woods. The name of the white man could not be learned. The car contained 192 quarts of Scotch and Rye whiskey. Sam Langford and Jack Johnson work had to admit that the boy is surely a comer. Townsend is working out at the Dreamland Athletic Club. 3510 South State Street, and fans would do well to go over and see the lad work Remember Dempsey, Johnson, Wills and all the others were once beginners.

Jackson's ordinance recently passed by the City Council for bidding the Knights of The Klan from wearing regalia in parades in the city. This order from the Imperial Wizard followed immediately upon the sending of a copy of the ordinance to him, and gives evidence to the fact that the Klan feared that other cities would follow the lead of Chicago.

"The Vengeance of the Gods," by William Pickens. Published by The A. M. E. Book Concern, 631 Pine St, Philadelphia, Pa. Price $1.25 postpaid. Mr. Pickens is well known to Americans as a public speaker and an essay writer, but he is new to the world of fiction. The Vengeance of the Gods is a slight volume containing four stories, or to be more exact, two stories and two sketches of veritable happenings. I contend to finding reality better than fiction. The tale of the colored man who didn't take the upper berth for which he had paid and who thereby got its occupant, a white man, a good thrashing and placed the white man who had planned to attack the Negro in a false and ludicrous position, is almost too good to be true. It laughs at white prejudice, and the finest attack on it we can make. When prejudice is the attack of ridicule, with the last sketch of the colored soldiers in France, "Tit for Tat," is the best of all. It is the story of the 370 Regiment encamped at Grand Villars. I cannot resist repeating the gist of it. At Grand Villars, France, the first American regiment to be stationed was a colored one. The French saw these soldiers and learned to like them heartily. The colored men were on their best behavior and were polite and gentle to the women and hearty to all men. They pushed the baby carriages, the water for the girls from the spring, the water for the women democratic, helping rich and poor alike. The girls of course all took to them, the doers of every home _____? As soon as the white soldiers saw that the French girls had been inviting colored soldiers into their homes, they were shocked and they at once instructed the French in race prejudice. But they overdid it. They overdid it so much that they gave the colored soldiers their chance. One of their lieutenants from New Orleans got the French folk of the town out to hear, and then explained to them that these new soldiers were not real Americans. Could they not see it Had they not violated all those ideals A Dealers -- Agents -- Write for Proposition. ACCRO is the only preparation of its kind, that will keep the hair in desired position in any sort of weather or climate. of democracy of which they had heard so much? "We allow them to live in our country, but they hate us. Many of them are the descendants of the Germans and Austrians and have much of the arrogance of their forbears. We do not associate with them in our country; we call them crackers and pecks!" And crackers and pecks they were to the end of their stay, outcasts, unable to receive recognition from any of the French people of Grand Villars. Mr. Pekens says in his preface that "If the Negro wants to be idealized he must idealize himself." ** A race must present its own case, and capable of doing so.** He offers these stories as a beginning in this direction. In the tales the colored are the heroes and the heroines and the whites occupy a subordinate and by no means an attractive place. It is a question whether we can get artistic writing if it is undertaken on this method. Rather we shall get the sort of writing that we dislike in the whites, special pleading. Those who follow the custom, as Mr. Pickens puts it, of showing the Negro either as a clown or a villain, have their propaganda, and it is because we see the propaganda that we dislike the story. So if we are conscious that the colored writer represents his heroes as virtuous and heroic because he wants to teach us a lesson, we shall sense the propaganda and just so far distrust the story. When the Negro begins to write great fiction, and he will before long, he will write out of the intense creative impulse of the artist. He will show us the Negro in his strength and his weakness. And despite all the weakness, the truth of the life of the Negro in America is so terrible, that he will tear at our heart strengs. But such a writer must give all his life to his work. He must be content "to live in a garret alcof, to have few friends, and go poorly clad." No creative work can be done at odd, tired minutes. But I am reviewing a volume of four stories, not the great novel of the future. The stories are entertaining and the presage of larger things. We hope that we shall have more of them. --- HARDING DEMANDS U. S. ECONOMIZE President Tells Budget Makers They Must Use Pruning Knife. OPPOSED TO HIGHER TAXES Executive in Address to Department Heads Says "Our Country Is One of Few in World Which Is Paying Its Way as It Goes." Washington, —Again stressing the need for the utmost economy in governmental expenditure, President Harding warmed the budget makers of 1924 that they must use their pruning knives. "I say frankly to you," the President asserted, "that I will not send to congress estimates exceeding the probable receipts of the government, and I must warn you but unless you use your pruning knives the executive will be compelled to cut deeply into the estimates presented. "Our country is one of the few in the world which is now paying its way as it goes, and I must regard with disfavor any tendency to interfere with this condition or to increase taxes." Addresses Department Heads. The President spoke to several hundred departmental heads and bureau chiefs, organized into "the business establishment of the government" by Gen. Charles G. Dawes. Following his address, the new director of the budget, Gen. H. M. Lord, outlined the work of the next year and also stressed the need for economy. Praises Budget Makers. President Harding congratulated the budget makers for reduction effected in the past year and then said: "The prospective net deficit of 425,000,000 for the current fiscal year is a challenge to us all. We must here resolve that through our efforts expenses will be kept within income. There must be utmost economy. There ha c been established these business principles which are capable of bringing further economy during the current year. "The business head of the government does not and cannot contemplate or expect that expenditures this year will exceed income." Estimates Receipts. The President said that the best estimates of receipts for 1924 are $3,198,000,000 and that expenditures must be kept within that figure. "The blazing of the path of economy," said the President in conclusion, "is no easy task. Expenditure is too often applauded, where earnest watchfulness for economy goes unnoticed except for complaint. But there is great compensation for service done.

Although a fine show, it did not get its share of patronage, and the people were not paid their money. It is too bad that the poor actors must be done this way after they put in weeks of rehearsing. Mr. Tom Normon, who leased the house to A. E. Patterson and Sheridan Breaseau, is not responsible for this calamity, as he turned the theater over to these gentlemen. In the future actors should require a bond up to $10,000 and not work for irresponsible people who have no financial resources behind them.

EASTER LILY CLUB WON'T PAY ITS DEBTS Attorney W. Chester Kitchen of Ellis & Westbrook has just filed suit against the Easter Lily Club, who were formerly sued by Attorney Westbrook, and after taking the case to the appellate court, a judgment was rendered against the club. The suits now pending were filed in behalf of Mrs. Marie Duvall and Mrs. Anna Bartley for sick benefits due them from the said club. A thorough investigation of the matter furnishes evidence that there are numerous claims for sick and benefit benefits pending against the society and have been so society without any excuse or justification refuse to pay these just demands. The members who claim such benefit are all in good financial standing in the club and in immediate need of the benefits due them and for this reason the firm of Ellis & Westbrook have decided to use every legal means for the proper adjustment of each and every claim submitted to the office. Seek Better Schools in Carolina COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 5—(Special)—The white people of many South Carolina communities are cooperating heartily with the black people in the effort to secure better educational facilities for the children of the latter. At Johnson, S. C., a movement is now on foot to provide a $6,000 six-room Rosenwald school. The black people have been raising funds for the purchase of a four-acre site, the Rosenwald fund will supply $1,600 toward the building, and the balance will be provided from state and county funds and by private subscription. A similar enterprise has just been completed at Batesburg, where a $4,500 school was erected by these cooperating agencies, and the contract has been let for a $6,000 school at Leesville, for which provision has been made in the same way. These are among the most recent illustrations of the friendly and helpful relations for which the best people of both races are striving and which inter-racial committees are doing much to foster throughout the South. To this end a strong state committee has been set up in each Southern state and local committees have been organized in 800 counties.

INSTRUMENTAL PACE PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION "A Woman of No Importance" at the Vendome Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week at the Vendome Theatre can be seen Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, "A Woman of No Importance." This picture is for adults only. It is a tale of a woman of no importance—for her, like mother Eve, life began in a garden—and all life ends with revelations. Her youth responded to the call of love. He was her prince charming who worked his will with promises he never kept. Her sin—the age-old one of loving not wisely but too well. She is the woman who wears a mask like a thing that is a leaper. The fire can not purify her. The water can not unquench her arguish. Wednesday and Thursday, August 2 and 3 at the States will be shown "The Black Bag," six reels of thrills, mystery, romance and action. A picture that will make your hail stand on end, with romance that will make every man forget his troubles. On Friday and Saturday, Frank Mayo in "Araid to Fight" will be the feature. This is a story of an ex-dough boy, the prize ring and a girl. Comedy and news, a cool theatre and a snappy orchestra will make a pleasant evening for anyone at the States.

Mr. Bezeeke knows, he is not speaking what he has been told, but what he has tried and found to be best. A striking example of his ability, and proof of this advanced theory may be seen in the success of the athletes flying the colors of Penn State, and especially Larry Shields. Never before in the history of athletics has an athlete given a better exhibition of true sponsorship than that demonstrated by Larry during the Penn Rival Carnival. Shields incidentally tripped his closest rival in the earlier as they were nearing the finish line, instead of continuing to the end, stopping and waited for his man to regain his stride and take the lead. Harry finally passed him however and finished well in the lead. He was disqualified, but never the less the act certainly left no stain of unfairness on the part of the great runner. Babe Ruth just one year ago was being hailed as the king of swat. More than this he was regarded as the super man of swatdom, boasting an ability to whale the old apple out of the lot with such consistency and power that he was feared by all opposing twirlers, some critics going so far as to say that the Babe had no weakness. Then along comes the worlds series, and as soon as it was made certain that Ruth was to participate in the big classic, fans began to offer all kinds of wagers as to the number of four-ply swats the Babe would register. It seemed a sate lie that the Bambino would get at least four in the nine game classic. But again brabain proved its superiority over brawn, when the Giants, the master mind of the Giants, pitbishers so sincerely that the Babe had his hard-hitting mates were helpless before their hurling. Now Ruth not only failed to get the four homers that fans and critics figured him to get, but the one he registered was a gift purely and simple, through the generosity of Shuffling Phil Douglas. It is rumored that Maye "Link" Williams, former Brown football star, was performed for Hammond last season in such stellar fashion that he became the talk of local circles, may play with Bill Bottomi's south side stars next season. Personally we are in great sympathy with Mr. Bottomi's effort and would like to see him prod. e a winning combination. Now there is certainly no denying the fact that Link would fit in nicely with the stars, but we do not altogether favor the idea. Our unreadness is this: It is an unacceptable thing that does not support race teams as they should, thus it difficult for men of Williams' calibre to realize their true value, again we do not believe the time is ripe for our representatives to withdraw from the field of the leaders, and the passing of Williams and Pollard would certainly mean that we were no longer represented. It has been proven that once gone, easily forgotten. So my advice to them is wait until someone comes to take your place. So says All. We read with pleasure that Harry Wills has been outgeneraled by the Dempsey management, coming from a southern paper makes it even more gratifying. It is certainly no news to us for we said in these columns before the "Articles" were signed that it meant signing Harry off of Dempsey and not, as most people thought, signing the two men to battle. Mullins is either not smart enough to handle Wills, or he is unfit, because he does not favor the rise of his protege, we know not which. But regardless, our suggestion to Harry is: Investigate the length of your contract with Paddy and at the same time look carefully through the list of his probable successor. No wwatch your step, Harry there is no denying the fact that the Champ has decisively beaten you in the first round. Says AL.

It was generally conceded however that it was through the pitching of Dave Brown that this condition existed, but one only has to take a slight glance at the comparative few errors and passed balls credited against the record of Big Jim Brown on the receiving end of this pair to know that both men were well deserving of the honors heaped upon them by the taus. Brown is one of the greatest players is one of the hardest hitters in the National League, besides having probably the most perfect throwing arms in the business. Jim is a player of the George Burns variety, probably no player in the game has as few arguments with the arbiters as the hard hitting catcher. BATTLING SIKI BEATS REEVES Marwells, France, Aug. 27 — "Battling" Ski, the champ who is matched to meet Georges Carpentier, light-heavy weight champ, in September, won a victory over Harry Reeves by a knockout in the sixteenth round here tonight. Reeves had little chance after the first five rounds which were about even. In the beginning of the 6th round Ski delivered several blows to the face and head that made Reeves dizzy and after this the latter was on the defensive every minute of the way. Ski showed remarkable cleverness in the numerous hard blows directed for his head and stomach. If Ski can put up this kind of a battle against Carpentier it is not altogether unlikely that we may have a new king of light-heaves crowned. JAMAICA KID STOPS TI- GER FLOWER IN 2 ROUNDS Covington, Ky., Aug. 29 — It took just one round and six seconds of fighting for Jamaica K to deliver the old finisher to Tiger Flower, in their scheduled ten round fight here tonight. The Kid was in superb condition and from the landing of the first blow it became evident that "Tiger" had selected the wrong man as an opponent. Squares Beat Cleveland! After trailing 4 to 2 until the last half of the ninth last Thursday Logan Square staged a rally for three runs to win their game with Cleveland Stars, 5 to 4. Knybel singled, Sunday doubled, Cantwell's infield out scored Knybel, and Sunday tallied to tie the score when McClure heaved one past the catcher. Then Collins singled, stole second, and scored while Johnson was mussing up Buddy Allen's liner. Score: Stars..... 100 101 103 104 - 12 12 Batteries..... 100 101 103 104 - 12 Batteries..... Rean and Walsh, Howard, Mc Mc Giants Beat Cuban Stars Two Games Schorlings Park, Sunday Afternoon.—Our American Giants get sweet revenge for their double trouncing at the hands of the Stars from the Isle of Cuba in their recent two game set-to-on the local grounds, Sunday after-before before a large crowd. Our clan had their batting togs on and although Messrs. Beckwith and Torrienti, sluggers a-la-King, were not in the contests, the old boys kept up a mighty rumbling with their war clubs and when the sound cleared away we had packed away a pair of lopsided frays. The final scores were: first game, Our boys, ten; Cubans, pair Second-game, Our boys, Aite; Islanders, a couple. Sir Richard Whitworth was Rube's selection for flinging duties in the initial fray, and he was opposed by Boda, the Giant Killer, who lasted until the 4th, when a downpour of hits convinced the Stars management that the showering shows were the shelter Sir Boada should seek. Whitworth, our representative, was invincible after a near disastrous start. Rich started off badly by passing Sierra, Rios bunted and was safe. Drake hit to Beckwith and all hands were safe on Beck's error. Whit then drew himself together and came out of the hole in great style. Pedrosa hit to Whit who tossed to Brown and the latter whipped the pill to Grant, completing a double play and keeping us on even terms for a while, as the rest were easy. Villa walked. Williams then tossed out Rodriguez. Coach, you Whit. The Giants evened the time in their halt on the NFC Saturdays by Lyons and DeMoss, and Jim Brown's double. These two Cuban runs ended the activities of the Islanders for a while, but our boys went out in the very next frame and put the lead game away on ice and entirely out of danger. Beckwith singled to center. Reece tripled to deep right center, scoring Beckwith. Grant fouled to Morin. Whitworth shot a single to right, scoring Reece. Gardner beat out a hit to short. Lyons singled and Whitworth registered. DeMoss doubled, scoring Gardner. Brown singled, scoring DeMoss and Lyons. Williams whited. Brown taking second. Beckwith singled for his second. Brown hit DeMoss. Reece lied out to Drake. Whew, seven runs, a ball game, and nothing for the hostiles but a free shower for Boada. Another for Good Measure Our youngsters (attention, Mr Whitworth) added another in their half of the sixth, as a means of keeping in practice, bringing the total up on Lyon's single that Drake allowed to clude him for a triple, and DeMoss' single, the Islanders got another in the ninth, but why waste the ink? Second Also a Force The second game saw Padrone, Foster's Cuban twirler, on the hill top and as is customary, Padrone was master of the situation all the way He started off badly, as did Whitworth, his walking foot, that man to face him, and the host, they could do two in which added to this one bad frame was to register one run. Padrone is a great finger, with head work that rivals the best in the game. The Giants got four runs in their half of the first and with Padrone pitching the kind of ball that he is capable of twirling, the Cubans were helpless, Score.

Jackson has been hot on the trail of Wills for some time, but owing to the fact that Mullins, Wills' manager, has been so busy signing that ridiculous article with Kearns, it had to be put off until this time. This should be an interesting fight. He has been going on, given the prestige that is sure to go with victory over the other. Jackson until a short time ago was practically unheard of, however the way that he has been knocking them over later having to his credit something like forty straight knockouts, makes fans wonder as to his chances with Wills. Dixie Judge in Usual Role MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 5.—Two black men, Fred Patton and Joe Smith, charged with disorderly conduct were hailed before Louis Fitzhugh, judge of the city court here. According to the men a bunch of poor white boys with their pockets filled wih stones began hurling them at the men as they drove, past them on a truck. At this juncture the man reached for a crowbar on their truck for self-protection, it was then that the movie coppers interriered. The judge asked the black men why they tried to strike the boys with the bar, and when old of their intentions, said: "I'll teach you 'niggers' to think you own the streets," and there upon fined each $25.00. Decayed and diseased teeth cause serious trouble Scientist attributes the untimely death of Theodore Roosevelt to affected teeth. Decayed teeth cause rheumatism, neuralgia, appendicitis and stomach disorders. Alveolar abscesses are always due to decayed teeth. The fear of pain causes many people to shrink from dental treatment and extractions.

Malarchia is one of those players whose playing never sparkles because of the way he handles his chances, always playing in his usual safe manner and handling the hardest of chances, he probably has fewer errors than any player in the game, a dangerous hitter in the pinch, and a good base runner. David would in all probability make some of the other cities a permanent contender, especially Kansas City, who is in need of a de- pendable third sacker. However, Davey is too valuable a utility man for us to think of discussing his going to another club. Read the Whip for Sport News 1 GIANTS PLAY THE PONTIACS ON SUNDAY The American Giants now resting comfortably in first place in the standings of the Negro National League, will enjoy a short breathing spell, Sunday afternoon they tackle the Pontiac club, in an exhibition contest. It will not be a rest so far as actual playing is concerned, for we doubt if there are many teams representing the National circuit that outclass the Pontiac bunch, but it is a rest in that there are no usual four games following the contest as in most cases of the regular schedule. The Pontiac club has not played at Schorlings field this season, but it is rumored that several of their players have and that these players are coming boasting the fact that they know Rubie's strong points as well as his weaknesses. Perhaps so, but it is going to be a great battle. Big Dave Davenport, former American League twirler, will do the flinging for the visitors. Davenport is going great now, having won his last three times out, allowing eight hits in the game, but if we hold our Giants down like that Sunday we shall be ready to offer his transportation back to St. Louis. Foster will probably use Dave Brown to face the former St. Louis star. Torrenti was out of Sunday's game, but will be in all probability be in there Sunday. DeMoss has recovered from the slight accident to his finger and will be seen at his usual post. Lineup: Standing EDITORIAL PAGE 8 THE CHICAGO WHIP An Independent Newspaper — Published Every Week VOL.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. CHRISTIANITY If the tenets of Christianity are correct and we believe that they are then those who are apostles of the faith at the present time are not really conscientious and sincere but to the contrary are using the Christian faith to further their own selfish ends. The heads of Christianity in America are not making themselves felt in the engagements against sin and evil and those who once followed in their wake blindly are now beginning to falter and look up with questioning and dubious countenances. Christianity is one of the very few religions which has attempted to spread itself throughout the world. It is held up to civilization as the redeeming influence and the cleansing medium for those who are contaminated and defiled. The history of Christianity is a history of blood and war as well as tears and sighs. It was impressed by the sword and cut a terrible swath through its opponents. The Crusades or the holy wars which lasted over twenty years were waged against the opponents of Christianity with terrible loss of life. The Christians were really fighters back in the thirteenth century. The Spanish Inquisition was a cruel but positive method of repelling heresy. Civilization has advanced and in the thread of its great march is a record of militancy. In the beginning there was no compromise with iniquity and opposition, but the times and manners have changed and the desire for money "the root of all evil," has caused a change of method. Christianity has not changed, but those who are its ecclesiastical sponsors have changed. The faith is now intertangled and intertwined with expediency and no longer will a thing or a system be opposed because it is fundamentally wrong, but it will be first decided whether or not it is feasible and expedient. American Christianity has been corrupted and polluted by political systems which have established for their own benefits laws which define what is wrong and what is right. The Christian faith has been sullied and trammeled by economic systems which have made some men tremendously rich while others became alarmingly poor. We have very few men actuated by motives of right and wrong. Even Christian women will hesitate before they assault Satan and his cohorts. America's greatest evil is the lynching and burning of human kind. This heinous practice sends the soul of a child of God to his maker before he can pray to his God, before he can establish his right to live and before he can get his soul in readiness for the communion with its maker. Lynching is one of most diabolical crimes that Christianity tolerates. It makes a mockery of law and justice and leaves the whole of Christendom open to ridicule and contempt. There is not a true blooded American who does not know that if Christianity, the kind that blazed the way of the Puritan Fathers, should decide to put an end to lynching that it could be done. If the church should ever rise up in all of its majestic power and become a dynamic factor in ending this terrible and nauseating crime it would not be long before this country would be a decent place to live in. There are great money interests behind lynchings and it is admitted that the economic back ground behind lynchings cause it to operate. As long as black men or any men are intimidated by death at the hands of wild and murderous mobs then so long will those men be cowered in mind and enslaved in heart. Then they are ready for exploitation, then they can be made to labor without adequate pay, then they can be forced to toil and not receive fruition. Are the churches and Christian leaders direct beneficiaries and is it this system which keeps them silent and calm as the faith and souls of men are destroyed? Is the heart of Christianity dead? FAST WORK The car strike in Chicago sharpened the business acumen of the black men to a marked degree and when the electric conveyances for Chicago's teeming millions balked and refused to turn a wheel our old friend, the erstwhile shiftless and independable black man, proved himself "Johnny on the Spot" with his rigged up conveyances. Not as angels of mercy but as public carriers did these black men offer their trucks and autos to the public. No one would have ever imagined that so many cars were owned by black people before. When the strike was threatened a few weeks ago the men looked into the future and prepard themselves to gather in a few of the dollars that the traction companies have been getting. This is an example to think of. It is the spirit of the new age and the new majority. The old timers would have just waited until the "day of judgment" and nobody could have convinced them a strike was coming. It is racial evolution and is compelled to give results. --- TORIAL HEALTH HINTS HEALTH HINTS BY DR. TROY SMITH A PEST A household nuisance that ranks close to the dangerous housely and the annoying cochooka is the rat and mouse. Rats live in filthy places, particularly sewers and manure piles, and holes around barns and sheds. When the rats become hungry, they leave these places and enter the homes and pantries. The rats carry in the fur of their bodies and feet much dirt and filth. In this filth are various disease germs. One of the worst diseases known Bubonic Plague, is carried by rats. Besides carrying disease germs, rats eat every known food, they gnaw and destroy every known article. One writer has estimated the amount of food that would be necessary to replace that destroyed by rats in a year would require the yearly work of 200,000 men and women. This destruction means a huge amount of time and labor lost every year and makes the cost of living higher for every one. GETTING RID OF RATS In the cities of the United States there is one rat to catch person, in the country districts are five rats to catch person. Therefore if each person in the city would kill one or two rats and each person in the country would kill five or six rats, the country would soon be rid of these pests. The safest and best way to kill rats is to trap them. The snap and guillotine traps are recommended as being best for this purpose, however a cage trap has the advantage in that you can catch several rats at a time, but care should be taken to note that the wire is strong and reinforced so that a strong rat cannot force its way through the wires. But poison is often used, but the danger in this is that any poison that kills rats may also kill cats, dogs, and even children. In some cases where poison is used the rats may die in your home and when his body begins to decay the entire house may have a bad odor. In setting traps several precautions should be exercised. It must be remembered that they have a keen sense of smell, therefore before being set, the trap should be dipped in boiling water or smoked with a piece of burning paper, as this kills the smell of human hands or rats previously caught in them. Again rats are easily frightened by anything to which they are not accustomed, therefore when traps are once placed they should be left alone—as it may be several nights before a rat becomes accustomed to the strange article. The hait best used to catch rats should have a strong odor. The following are good baits; cheese, smoked fish, red meat, fresh liver, fried bacon or fat, apples, carrots or corn. PROTECT YOUR HOME AGAINST RATS Keep your food out of reach of rats. Place your cereals, flour, bread cake, etc., in metal cans. Do not leave garbage exposed. Place it in a metal can with a tight cover. Remember that the rat carries the disease and can spread it from being caught and then killed by him. The greater you increase your chances for preserving your health LEGAL HINTS Attorney G. C. Adams: About a year ago I entered into a partnership with H. B. for the purpose of buying and selling real estate. We purchased $1,000.00 worth of furniture and fixtures to be used in the business. A short time ago I noticed that he was short in his account to me, and a few days ago he moved the biggest portion of the furniture to his residence during my absence. Can I prosecute him criminally? What are my rights? A. No. One partner cannot steal from the other on the theory that one cannot steal from himself; he has an interest in the money and fixtures until there is an accounting. You have the right to sue him for an accounting. Dear Editor: While crossing the street I was run into by I. H.'s automobile and badly bruised up. He told me he knew it was his fault and that he was willing to pay me for it, but that he did not have any money and offered to give me his note for $500.00, which I accepted and signed a paper as a receipt upon my doctor's advice. He has since failed to pay the note, and I am hurt to a greater extent than I thought I was, and should get about $1500.00. Can I sue him for that amount? What is my rights? A. You accepted the note as a settlement, and evidently signed a complete release to the defendant. You can only sue on the note. Hereafter see the lawyer before you sign anything, and see the doctor only when you are sick, they have a medical training and not a legal training. Dear Sir: I was arrested and charged with burglary. None of the witnesses saw me go into the store, but were able to identify some of the goods found in my possession. Can they convict me for burglary? Can they force me to testify against myself? A. You might be convicted for receiving stolen property, but not for burglary unless the State can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you actually broke and entered the place by trust-pass, with the intention of committing a crime. You might be convicted of evidence against a criminal who would tend to subject him to a fine or forfeiture. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP A column of constructive criticism of men and measures in the hope of correcting errors and evils. We hear that word "monor" used quite frequently now and in many instances we read that these morons, most of them white, have raped and despoiled young girls. These degenerates are handled by the courts, but never for one instance does the semblance of racial irise arise. We venture to say that the white morons of Chicago have defiled and seduced more women and girls in the city of Chicago than black men have in the whole United States during the last ten years. The habit of rape is a criminal instinct not peculiar to the black race and from the records of the Illinois Crime Commission it seems that somebody else is the guilty party. The vice and corruption which infests Chicago's black belt is not to be attributed to the black people. In every investigated case it is always discernable that some white wretch is the profiteer and protector. A man on Grand Boulevard remarked on Tuesday night that the black people had killed that street with ill reputed women and houses of evil fame. He was surprised to learn that white men protected these evils and made them possible. The spread of vice in Chicago and its concentration in certain localities is a direct slap in the face of the present administration. If the people want open prostitution and gambling and it is compelled to exist because the politicians profit from it we can only hope that it will be segregated and removed from residential sections where people make the pretense of decency. Dr. Dubois is being made the recipient of an avalanche of criticism because of his recent editorial upon Abraham Lincoln. Some men with many words and few ideas have wagged their tongues to beat the band and they couldn't deny Dr. Dubois statements to save their lives. What Dubois said while it may or may not be true was uncalled for and was a piece of poor judgment. Mr. Lincoln's ancestrage and his physical appearance cannot be of any importance to the black people, but the fact that he was an anti-slavery man and not an abolitionist can be. Dr. Dubois just allowed his philosophical bitterness to run away with his better judgment, but poor simpering Roscoe Simmons ought to keep quiet and no one would know what he is ignorant of. Business Review Edited by Ettinger F. Smith. Strikes Some Hard Business Revival Although the check to the country's business recently imposed by the strikes grew the past week, the curtailment is not yet large and a definite setback to the industrial revival is not yet a probability. Some industries have been operating at a comparatively high rate due to priority rights established in the coal distribution. Exclusive of coal, loadings were close to past high record. It may be seen therefore that general business so far has suffered relatively slightly. With regard to strikes, business circles are showing greater optimism. Chances for an early settlement in the street car strike here are considered good, while the atmosphere surrounding the coal strike, and railroad strikes negotiations was thought to be improving. Building Trade Now Enjoying Great Activity In driving about the city one is impressed with seeing so many pretty homes and large office buildings under construction. Architects, contractors, and dealers are as busy as bees. Buildings from the modest little bungalow type to palatial residences, thence to office buildings are under construction. The science of architecture has made possible a wonderful improvement in beauty and convenience in the homes and buildings that are going up today. It has also created a desire for one to own his own home. Insurance Company Going Big The Liberty Life Insurance Company, the largest "OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE INSURANCE COMPANY," this side of the Mason and Dixon line owned and operated by black people, has become an important factor in this community, and has one of the competent men available as director of agencies, in the person of Mr. E. H. Carry. Mr. Carry has spent most of his life in the insurance business and has gained his knowledge by years of actual experience. In anticipating the enormous demand for insurance this fall season, Mr. Carry says that the Liberty Life is carrying a large and trained force of insurance experts. He predict, a large business for this fall. Their Million Dollar Anniversary Campaign is now on and concludes August 15. It is said that the recently executed "Henry Landru," the famous Frenchman, had it somewhat on old King Solomon as to wives, but it strikes us that there are numerous undiscovered Landru's. IBERTY IFE TRUTHS WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL LET US GET OUT OF HAITI Now that arrangements are in a fair way toward consummation for our early evacuation of Santo Domingo, the State Department should negotiate a new agreement. toward that civilization we are willing to believe Uncle Sam's occupation of Haiti has accomplished good for the Haitians. We have built roads and stimulated education, and we have promoted security of person and property. Also, we have come to the point of frowning upon all atrocities, whether committed by natives or our own marines. But the crowning atrocity continues—and that is our presence in the island against the will of the Haitians. This is bad in principle, as opposed to all American of the Haitians and self-government. And it is equally bad because it cultivates suspicion, hatred and victim America, whose good will we need if we are to have a preponderant share of trade and moral influence with all the southward. We were not invited to Haiti. We overthrew the Haitian government by force of arms. We imposed a constitution upon a country free and self-governing for more than a century. Senator McCormick's committee has reported that there is "peace and security" in the island. Then let us clear out. We have no right there, any more than in Santo Domingo. Then let us get out of Haiti, too. From Chicago Herald and Examiner, July 29, 1922. THE CHURCHES South Park Church quarterly meeting.
