Slugged---Driven from State by Texas Toughs GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Victim of an Unprovoked, Cowardly and Brutal Assault. JUDGE AND CONSTABLE ARE CHIEF ASSAILANTS Prominent and Gentlemanly Official Had Gone to Texas to Consult With Attorney General Concerning Laws Governing Outside Corporations, Dared to Confer With Negroes, Beaten and Driven From State. (Special to The Monitor.) AUSTIN, TEX., Aug. 27.—Acting like the lowest of Texas toughs, and running true to form, Judge Dave J. Pickle, Constable Charles Hamby and Ben Pierce, of unsavory reputation as Austin's "bad man," waylaid, ganged and brutally beat John R. Shillady of New York City, general secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in front of the Driskill hotel on Sixth street, last Friday morning. The attack was wholly unprovoked, despicably cowardly, but fully in keeping with the mob methods of this section. Scene of Rankin Murder. It is a rather remarkable coincidence that the murderous attack upon Mr. Shillady occurred near the Driskill hotel at almost the exact spot where a few years ago a prominent white southerner, John T. Rankin, United States marshal for the southwest district and ex-sheriff of Fayette county, was shot and killed because of his championship of the Negro. Rankin demanded justice for the Negro. He was accused of stirring up trouble and because he was a "nigger-lover," he was killed by men of the same type who attacked Mr. Shillady, and who also would have been murdered he offered resistance. Facts About Shillady. John R. Shillady has been the secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people since February, 1918. He went to that Association after having held the following positions: Secretary of the mayor's committee on unemployment, New York City; secretary of the New York state industrial board; secretary of Buffalo Association for the Relief and Control of Tuberculosis. Since his entering upon his work as secretary, the Association has advanced from 80 branches and 9,000 members in January, 1918, to 268 branches in 40 states and the District of Columbia and 3 foreign and to a membership of 79,500. Among the states that of Texas has the largest number of branches, 31, with a membership of 7,046. Austin has one of the largest branches in Texas, numbering 316 members. Mis Mission to Austin. On August 11 Mr. Shillady received a letter from P. A. Williams the president of the Austin, Tex., branch announcing that a citation had been served on him to appear at 2 p. m. August 9 at the court of the justice of the peace, bringing all books, papers, correspondence, etc., belonging or pertaining to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This was done by the president of the Austin branch who asked the national secretary to advise him regarding the form of incorporation of the National Association as the Texas people raised the issue that it was not chartered in the state of Texas. Mr. Shillady replied advising the Austin branch that the National Association was not a business, but a membership corporation incorporated in 1911 under the laws of the state of New York whose purposes are civic and educational. Believing that his presence in Texas might be of value to the Austin branch Mr. Shillady proceeded to Austin on August 19. Visits Attorney General's Office. Mr. Shillady arrived in Austin Thursday morning where he hoped to have an interview with Governor Hobby and also with the attorney general. Governor Hobby was out of the city, but Mr. Shillady went to the attorney general's department for information concerning the operation of foreign corporations in Texas. He further asked why the local branch of the National Association had been disbanded. He was informed that the principles of the Association, teaching racial equality, creates trouble between the races and it was the duty of the department to suppress all such THE MONITOR organizations. As the outcome of the interview Mr. Shillady was hailed before a "court of inquiry" Thursday afternoon and was advised that his presence was not welcome in the city. Judge Pickle, who was present at the inquisition, claims that he warned Mr. Shillady to leave Austin. Mr. Shillady appealed to the adjutant general's office for protection. That office replied that his protection was a matter for the local authorities. Dares to Confer With Negroes. Friday morning Mr. Shillady had an appointment with officers and members of the local branch, who sought his advice. While returning from this conference he was waylaid near his hotel by a small crowd of men, chief among whom were Pickle, Hamby and Pierce. Hamby asked Mr. Shillady, according to Pickle's story, why he "was holding meetings and stirring up more trouble than Austin's citizens can get rid of in ten years." "You don't see my point of view," answered Mr. Shillady. "I'll fix you so you can't see," Hamby replied with an oath, as he struck Mr. Shillady a vicious blow in the eye. Pickle and Pierce joined in and rained blow upon blow upon him, knocking him down and beating him until his face was badly bruised and bleeding. Pickle boasted that they let him go when he begged for mercy. He also seemed to gloat over the fact that Mr. Shillady, who is a splendid type of athletic manhood, did not defend himself against the attack of the three brutal and cowardly bullies. When they were through beating Mr. Shillady he was escorted to the train and left at noon for St. Louis. Hamby warned him not to leave the train before it crossed the Texas state line. Seen by an Associated News reporter, while he was enroute to St. Louis, Mr. Shillady made the following statement: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed ten years ago by prominent whites and blacks in the north. Its headquarters is in New York, where I am stationed as national secretary. The president is Moorfield Storey of Boston, a well known lawyer. "The association had its origin as a protest against lynching and race riots. Matters were in such a condition in 1909 that it was deemed best to have an association to promote more harmonious relations between the Negro and white races, and to see that in all cases the constitutional rights of the Negro were secured. "My purpose in visiting Austin was to confer with the attorney general of the state. There had been some question as to the eligibility of Negroes belonging to the association because we did not have a charter. "After I left the attorney general's office and returned to the Driskill hotel I was accosted by a mob led by a prominent citizen and a constable. After the attack I decided to stay in Austin, but later reversed my decision for fear it might provoke racial strife. "I am chief executive officer of the association, and the decision rests with me as to whether we will attempt to secure any redress for the treatment I received in Austin. I am undecided as to whether I will prosecute my assaults. "Both the mayor of Austin and the adjutant general of the state were courteous to me after the attack. The mayor furnished me with police protection. This is the first time the efforts of our association have met with an attack of this sort." YOUNG SOLDIER DROWNED IN ELKHORN RIVER Mr. Harrison Rossell, a former soldier, who was born at Ogolona, Miss., was drowned Saturday evening in the Elkhorn river, near Waterloo, Neb. Mr. Russell had been employed as a section hand on the railroad, and while on his way to work stopped to take a swim in the river. He was overcome by cramps and drowned. His body was rescued by citizens at that point and turned over to the Western Funeral Home of this city. They are making a strenuous effort to locate his relatives or friends.

(By Associated Negro Press.) London, Aug. 27.—In the house of commons today Walter E. Guinness, Unionist member from Suffolk, asked Bonar Law, the government leader, to give the day's discussion over the present position of the black races, but his request was refused. Guinness then asked whether it would not be a graceful act of reciprocity to place at the disposal of the United States, the benefit of British experience in governing Negroes in return for the discussion of Irish affairs in the United States senate. Capt. William Wedgewood Benn, liberal, asked Mr. Bonar Law to do his best to prevent efforts to sow dissension between America and Great Britain by alleged humorous questions. Mr. Bonar Law said the government recognized that the future peace of the world depends upon the good relations between the two countries.

PROMINENT TEXAS EDITOR MURDERED (By Associated Negro Press.) (Dy Associated Negro Press.) Dallas, Tex., Aug. 26.-Colonel W. E. King, editor and founder of the Dallas Express, the largest race publication in the southwest, was shot and killed last Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock at 2811 Flora street. Mr. King lived only a few minutes after he was shot. Hattie C. Burleson, former personal secretary and boarding mistress of Mr. King, voluntarily surrendered immediately after the shooting and an affidavit charging her with murder was filed in Justice Barnett's court. Mr. King was born in Macon, Miss., in 1866, and educated in the schools of Macon. He taught for a number of years in the public schools of Lauderdale and Jasper counties, where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teachers in these counties, white or black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his race, he began the publication of Fair Play, about 1885, which had a wide circulation and was successfully managed until he was forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of the position his paper took in defense of his race. He came to Dallas in 1891 and secured a position as managing editor of the Western Star, published by Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs. In 1892 he began the publication of the Dallas Bee, later changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the southwest.

PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIAN DEAD John Merrick, a Self-Made Man, Who Rose From Poverty to Wealth, and Was Noted for His Charities, Answers Summons. FOUNDED HOSPITAL Was Moving Spirit in Several Uplift Agencies in His Community—Made Good Use of His Opportunities and Was Highly Respected by All Classes. (By Associated Negro Press.) DURHAM, N. C., Aug. 27.—John Merrick, one of the best known Negroes in this section of the United States is dead here. He had been ill for several months. Born in Clinton, September 7, 1859, he came to this city forty years ago. Merrick was a self-made man, whose life was a good example to the members of his race. When he first came to this city he was a bricklayer. Being economical, he saved much of the money he made, and in a few years, he opened up a barber shop and for many years, his place of business was the favorite place of its kind in the city. After many years of this work he founded the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, the largest organization of its kind in the world. Since 1899 the year of its establishment, this organization has steadily grown. In 1884, together with other Colored people, he founded the Lincoln hospital. All of his life he gave large donations to the hospital on which he served as president of the board of trustees for more than 20 years. About the same time the hospital was founded, Merrick, together with Prof. W. G. Pearson, founded the order of the Royal Order of King David. This lodge, like all his organizations, soon became one of the largest in the world. Other institutions established by the deceased are the Colored library and the Mechanics and Farmers bank, the latter being established in 1908. The library has been one of the greatest helps to the Colored people of this city. All his life Merrick continued to give large donations to the library. The deceased is survived by a widow and five children. One daughter is the wife of Dr. Peter Williams of Raleigh; another the wife of Dr. H. W. Bruce, of Winston-Salem. His eldest son, John Jr., lives in Detroit. The other son, Ed, is assistant secretary of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. His youngest child is Martha Merrick. WINS PRIZE IN NATION- WIDE ESSAY CONTEST Louis J. Harper, a Junior in Atlanta University, Tells "Why We Should Have an American Language"—Commended by Ohio State Librarian. (By Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.—Louis J. Harper, a young Atlanta Negro has just been announced as the winner of third prize in a nation-wide essay contest on the subject, "Why We Should Have an American Language." The contest was conducted by the state library of Ohio, and was open to all accredited students of all universities, colleges and high schools throughout the country. Young Harper, who is just 20 years of age, was a member of the students army training corps of Atlanta university, and completed his sophomore year in 1919 with honors. In writing of Harper's success, J. H. Newman state librarian of Ohio said: "This young man has great promise for his race. Nothing can possibly contribute more to the uplift of the African than the education and careful training of such men as young Harper. 'He is entitled to all the credit he receives, for the reason that no judge knew anything about the name of the individual writer until after the decision. Therefore, the elimination of all prejudice or partiality from the result.' So widespread was the interest in this contest that Mr. Newman has decided to launch another contest, along these lines, some time during the coming fall, after all the schools are organized for their new year's work. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! Vol. V. No. 8 ole No. 217) JULIUS ROSENWALD SERVES ON COMMISSION Governor Lowden Has Appointed Able Body of Representative Citizens to Investigate Inter-Racial Relations in Chicago, and Work Out Satisfactory Adjustment. NEWSPAPER MEN SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE Victor Lawson of Chicago News, and Robert S. Abbott of Chicago Defender, Represent the White and Colored Press—Governor Appoints Well-Balanced Commission of Both Races. CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 27—Declaring that he had "used the utmost care in appointing the committee to undertake this great work," Governor Lowden, through Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, director of the Illinois department of registration and education, has announced the membership of his commission for the investigation of relationship between whites and Negroes in Chicago. Attorney Edgar A. Bancroft heads the commission which includes members of both races. Its personnel is as follows: Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears-Roebuck & Co.; Victor F. Lawson, publisher of the Chicago Daily News; Edgar Osgood Brown, attorney and president of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Harry Eugene Kelly, attorney; Wm. Scott Bond, real estate dealer; Dr. Cleveland Hall, an official of the Urban league; Edward H. Morris, attorney; Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender; Adelbert H. Roberts, sponsor in the Fifty-first general assembly of a bill advocating the appointment of an inter-social commission; George H. Jackson, business man; Dr. K. W. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church. Commenting on the appointments the governor's statement continued: "I have sought only the most representative men of both races. I have not even asked them whether they have views as to how the condition may be met. "This is a tribunal constituted to get the facts and interpret them and find the way out. "These riots were the work of the worst elements of both races and did not represent a majority of either. "The two races are here and will remain here. The great majority of each realizes the necessity for living on terms of cordial good will and respect. That condition must be brought about. To say it cannot is to confess the failure of self-government. "I offer no solution of the problem. I do know it cannot be solved by mob violence." MISS FRANKIE B.

THURS DEATH OF SERGEANT BRADLEY, 2 Many hearts were saddened last eek when it became known through- ‘out the city that Sergeant Levi Brad- ley, for twenty-two years a resident of Omaha, had been called to the Great ‘Beyond. He was a man beloved by all who knew him, one who walked upright be- fore the world and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need or a word of cheer to those in distress. Shortly after coming to Omaha he ‘became a member of Zion Baptist ‘church, when he was made treasurer and ordained as deacon, and was still holding the office of deacon when he ‘departed this life. | He was born in Sumter, 8. C., in 1846. At an early age he enlisted in the United States army and served so honestly and faithfully that his dis- charge papers are filled with the high- est words of praise and esteem that ‘could be said of any one, regardless of ‘race, creed or color. On each one of his re-enlistment papers his com- manding officer says that he reposes special trust and confidence in the pa- triotism, valor and fidelity of Mr. Bradley and considers him worthy of any position or honor that may be given him. His life as a citizen was on inspira- tion to all those who knew him. His daily exertions were ever in the direc- tion of promoting the happiness of his fellow man, both here and hereafter. He was a living demonstration of the truth that he who lives rightly for others rather than for himself is most certain of happiness here and peace hereafter. Funeral services were held at Zion Baptist church at 11 a, m, Sunday, August 24, after which the body was taken to Fort Crook for interment. ‘The impressive ceremony of the United States army was carried out and all honors due those who serve their country faithfully were given him. In short, it may pe said of him, as was said of one of old, that such an ‘one went not unhonored to his grave. “He lived that no regrets should rise ‘To gather ’round his future years; He let no neglected moments pass To check his flight to higher spheres.” SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM MEET The twenty-fourth annual session of the supreme grand council of the Fraternal Order of the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem is being held here this week.

Of course they were at their best and the season had been just right for them, “Phere had been enough rain but not too much, enough sunshine but not too much, In fact, it had been quite a perfect season so fur. “The fields always spoke of things having been nice so far for they never knew what the weather was going to be any more than the farmers did, and they heard the farmers talking in that way to each other, “So the fields used to wonder if It would be dry and without even any showers for the rest of the season, or whether it would rain every day and hurt them! “But this special day they were feel- ing very well and very happy. “Tm so good for food,’ said the barley field. ‘I am pretty and feathery, 5? “Pm such a lovely pale green color,’ said the oats. : “‘And 1 am good and substantial looking,’ said the winter wheat. “Tam very good for the feed of animals,’ said the oats, ‘and so are peas.’ “I come in pretty usefully myself,’ said the winter wheat. “How about me? asked the sorrel, & plant with yellowish blossoms. ““All right,’ sald the oats, ‘but I am such a lovely shade of green.’ “‘You admire yourself, eh? asked the sorrel. “‘T do,’ suid the oats. “So do I, remarked the winter wheat. “‘and I Ike myself, too,’ said the barley field. ‘We are liked by others," it added. “We are, too,’ said the winter wheat. “ah, ah, ah, don't boast too much,' said a voice. “and who are you, pray tell? the fields asked. ‘Why shouldn't we boast when we have something to boast for? PANG [\\Pan~ , om S fs ——- per ante | Pec earl igi te NEE IH iy fe Te SF TT ‘They Were at Their Best. “‘You may boast,’ said the voice, “but not too much for I want to do Sonie of it myself.’ “Then the fields noticed that the voice came from the direction of the clover hay field. “Oh, ho,’ said winter wheat, ‘so clover hay wants to do some talking. “Certainly, said clover hay “Well, what have you to say for yourself? asked the others. “ ‘Quite @ lot, said clover hay. “‘Pray tell us what it is then,’ the others asked. “*You are all very useful, You all make good food for the aniinals, both in the summer and in the winter.’ “Winter wheat bowed gracefully, It was much flattered to be especially noticed. “‘But I have a special distinction, said clover hay. “What is clover hay talking about? the others asked. “Don't use such big words,’ said the barley. ‘Fields don’t understand. “‘T mean that I have something spe- cial to boast of, suid clover hay, ‘so J don’t want all of you to take up the whole summer-time in boasting. “*Ah, we see,’ said the oats, ‘clover bay doesn't want us to boast so it cap get a good chance at it.’ . “Right, said clover hay. ‘You're perfectly right.’ “what are you going to boas about? asked the winter wheat. “Myself, of course,’ said clover hay “"Yes,’ it continued, waving about ‘I can boast about myself and boast beautifully. I am the food the animals love so; they actually call me the ani mals’ dessert. I am to the animal what ice cream Is to the children and to the grown-ups, too. “It’s all very well, all very well, tc be regular, ordinary feed, but I, the clover hay, have the honor showed tc ‘me of being considered the best par of the animals’ meal,’ ire. is Praag Wo nes ES ae Bt Pea es ‘< he ee SB barre eunise's om i, Cre ah AA en THE FIELDS. “And what clover bay boasted of was true, for clover hay is the dessert for the farm animals.” The rich old uncte from whom much was hoped for was visiting his niece, who had been telling him how dearly his Uttle great-nephew and namesake loved his school and how ‘well he was getting on with his studies, “Well, Teddy.” snid the unele jovial- ly, upon the return of the little hoy, “what do you do in school all day?” ‘Teddy pondered, “Well,” he said gravely, “mostly T wait until it's time to go home.” HG MIiGuUNns Hl Oty (Continued From Last Week.) Let us be fair. Think you that in the torrents of blood springing from valiant hearts the blood of the Ameri- can Negro differs from the blood of his white brother? Comes it not from a heart as courageous and flows it not upon the same sacrificial altar? In the all-seeing eye of the Great Jeho- vah, the onipotent God of battles is not the blood bursting from a darky skin as sacred as the blood of his white brother? In the rivers of blood, ‘washing tyranny from the world’s ways, is not the blood of the Ameri- can Negro, drop for drop, as sacro- sanct as any with which it mingles? And when in the crash of battle souls cleased from their earthly tnement rise aloft are they not equally white n his eyes? But American Colored troops had to bear other burdens besides the shocks of war and the strifes of chkrges. They had to endure from their white American brethren in arms —not from the French or British— the most determined anti-Negro pre- judice. Not one-third of the white American soldiers would salute a Ne- gro officer and American Negro sol- diers were habitually jeered at and disparaged by their white American ' fellow soldiers. | But they had to bear a still more grievous burden. American Colored troops had to sustain themselves and maintain their morale not only against habitual insults in their own ranks but against the most insidious German propaganda. We quote but briefly from one leaflet showered by Ger- mans upon American Colored troops: “What is democracy? Personal free. dom, all citizens enjoying the same rights socially and before the law. Do you enjoy the same rights as the white people do in America, the land of freedom and democracy, or are you not rather treated over there as sec- ond class citizens? Can you go into a restaurant where white people din? Can you gt a seat in the theater |where white people scit? Can you get a seat or berth in a railway ca with white people? And how about | the law? Are lynching and the most |horrible crimes connected therewith lawful proceedings in a democratic country? Now all this is entirely dif. | ferent in Germany where they do like Colored people, where they treat them | as gentlemen and as white men, etc.’ | And there was enough truth in this in. sidious and venomous propaganda te make it sting, too. But not one Amer- ican Negro soldier ever listed to that | siren song. | Now pause right here and put your- | self in their places. Only barely fifty | years removed from the blight of | slavery at home; freed in name, but jin fact always the victims of a ven- |omous race hatred at home; enrolled | as American soldiers to fight for free- | dom overesas, with their white breth- ren in arms from the same land con- | stantly jeering and disparaging and insulting them; refused to rebut and repel German propaganda so true that it burned-like fire; compelled to main- tain their courage and their morale and their bravery against foes with- in and against enticing propaganda without—we say that these American Colored troops wrote high their name: on the scroll of fame! We say that from Cirspus Attucks, the first vic tim of freedom in the revolutionary war, to the last dusky hero who laid down his life in battle charge in France, all down the line of Americar history, the American Negroes have proven with their hearts’ blood, theit courage, their valor, their patriotism and their love for a land—which ha: ill requited their devotion. Now observe further. Look righ down into the black record—blacke than the duskiest skin. Truth harm: none but the guilty. In the thirt; lyears last past upwards of 3,000 American Negroes—citizens of this land—have been brutally mutilated ape. ae oe cag een CaS, Lee Seer Recaicitrant. THE MONITOR eae butchered, unsexed, burned and lynched. Only recently a Negro woman was disembowled and her un- born babe torn from her quivering flesh. . Almost, within sight of the White House, at Aleyandria, Va, a Negro was most brutally lynched. At Springfield, Ill., where rest the ashes ‘of Abraham Lincoln, and almost with- ‘in sight of his tomb, a Negro was burned. Last year at East St. Louis, Ill, over forty Negroes were barbat- ‘ously slaughtered. And, in addition, ‘in the past year thirty-one Negro men ae one Negro woman were barbari- cally lynched. Negroes have been burned to the stake even in John Brown’s old state of Kansas. And mark this: In just two places in this world has the smoke from living hu- man torches ascended heavenwards— at Rome under Nero and in the United States of America under the Star Spangled Banner! Look further. The United States —with the aid of the American Ne- gro, too— protested with all its might, with all its billions, with millions of its men on sea, on land and in the air, against the awful atrocities, mutil- ations, defilements, butcheries and outrages, perpetrated overseas. Amer- ica’s strong arms—upheld by Ameir- can Negroes, too—spanned the seas and throttled to its death barbaric atrocities abroad. Aren’t burnings at the stake, mu- tilations, tortures, unsexment, hang- ings, disembowelments, crucifixions and human tortures just as atrocious in America as they are overseas? Why visit barbarities with fire and sword overeas and tolerate them in our own land? America idealizes, en- shrines and worships justice-—justice to all abroad and at home, Is her arm long enough to span an ocean but .00 short to throttle her own satyrs of beastiality? Most American Negroes are poor; but who stole their toil for genera- tions and still pays them but a pt- tance? Many American Negroes are ignorant; but who kept them so for generations and still doles out education with niggardly hands? Many American Negroes are not ideal it as; but would any other race be any better barely half a century un- gyved and unmanacled? Many Amer- can Negroes are lustful; but are they the only ones, and if so, whence come ARROW COLLARS é LAUNDERED OR SOFT | 2223 {——<\\| THE BEST THAT YOU t > AN)| can sux at THE |. 9 PRICE YOU PAY ig DNR Cluett, Peabody & C0.

Mr. Rhonenee was preaching it seemed that the love of God was in every heart and ever soul that sat before, him had love for his neighbor. Sun- day night he preached from Exodus, xiv:14, “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” | Stinday school was well attended and also the Christian Endeavor.

U.S. "My mudder sed I wuz a fool, When I wuz but a boy at school, And heaved aroun' a great dumbbell, Yet school kids sed I did it well." When I was a boy Atlas holding up the worl' struck my fancy as one I'd like to emulate. How strong he looked with deep chest, mighty bulging muscles, broad back and thick arms. That reasoned I is such a man whom I'd love to be like when I'm grown and from that time I determined to grow and be strong. Follow these articles and learn how I increased my power and retailed my health. Do you know that the recent drafts showed a startling amount of men unfit for military service. Yes, it is true that of every one hundred examined a large per cent were found to be deficient, suffering from some form of ailment, some form of physical defect, some trouble that should not have been. Now it must be remembered that the first drafts were of men between the ages of 21 and 31 years, a period that man is and should be at his very best. Yet statistics show that hundreds of thousands of those who should have proved the bulwark of the nation's strength were actually a hindrance to our cause. Why? Because if every man called had been in first class condition the government could have saved millions of money and much valuable time and every soldier knows what time means to an army. Now that we know the facts, the naked truth is staring us in the face, what are we going to do about it? Overlook evil that is gnawing at the very vitals of the republic, a condition that is sooner or later if continued, to help effect the downfall of this mighty commonwealth, a truth that will cause us untold dishonor should we chance to be at war with some power, however, not equally strong and wealthy, but whose manhood is superior to ours. To Be Continued.) THE COLORED MAN IN SPORTS The day of the Colored boxer like that of the Colored jockey of a decade ago seems fast drawing to a close, and the question often asked is: Have Colored men lost that spirit of courage possessed by their fathers, or is it the unfair stand and law of the white man that caused him to give up in despair and seek vocations in less strenuous and prejudiced fields? I am inclined to adhere to the part that unfairness and the ever presence of prejudice has had more to do with the passing of the Negro in sports in which white men are competitors than all else. Twenty years ago and until a short time back we had great Colored jockeys, cyclists, boxers and followers in other sports, today we boast of but few with rarely a headliner. Of the runners we have Sol Butler, recently crowned by the king of Montenegro for winning the championship in the interallied races and broad jump held in Europe and Howard Drew, Binga Desmond and a few other stars. THE MONITOR A score of years ago no race course was complete without an army of Negro jockeys, trainers, rubbers, stable boys, etc. Today the sport of kings boasts few if any Colored man of prominence on the tracks. Of the football players, Pollard, one of the greatest pigskin kickers of all times is still a star. There are also several other Colored players of note. In the boxing game a sport in which Negroes from the days of Molineaux to Jack Johnson won fame, but few remain. Of the big fellows we have several who are handy with their dukes, chief of whom is Harry Wills of New Orleans, believed by many to be the best man on earth. Dempsey is by far the best white man and holder of the crown, but millions of sporting men believe that Wills would prove his superiority over the Salt Lake mauler. What a pity conditions have come to a stage that we will not see a contest that would stir the blood and give to old times a chance to breathe in that spirit and atmosphere as was their wont some thirty years ago. ere as was s ago. is match of the sporting conference. credit and and the pro- Surely a Dempsey-Wills match of twenty rounds would stir the sporting world from center to circumference. Wills, be it said to his credit and to the credit of his race and the profession he follows, is in every way a clean man. Privates Samuel Sanders and John Anderson are late arrivals from overseas.
