NEGROES FITTED FOR MY CABINET SAYS THOMPSON Fifteen Thousand Persons at Close of Lincoln Anniversary in Chicago Hear Mayor Tell Why He Gave Negroes Positions. Says "My Duty is to Elevate, Not Degrade, the Race." Chicago, Ill., Sept. 16.—Fifteen thousand men and women and children crowded—crowded is the word—the Coliseum last night to hear Mayor William Hale Thompson deliver an address at the Half Century Anniversary Exposition. So great was the demonstration that the Mayor was unable to read his prepared speech. Regarding recent appointments to his cabinet the Mayor said: "Let me repeat that I am proud to be here, and let me add these words: I am asked why I have appointed Negroes in my cabinet. Here's Why He Did It "Here is my answer: "1. Because the persons appointed were essentially fitted and qualified for the positions they were selected to fill. "2. Because, in the name of humanity, it is my duty to do what I can to elevate rather than degrade any class of American citizens. "3. Because, during the pre-election campaign I gave you my word that, if elected, I would give you a square deal, and Bill Thompson keeps his word." In introducing the Mayor, Rev. A. J. Carey, who presided, said: "The colored people ask no favors and no sympathy, nor do they ask any return for any support they may give to any cause, political or otherwise. They ask only for what they deserve as American citizens. "Whatever Mayor Thompson has done, whatever he will do, he will do not out of sympathy for the descendants of a race once enslaved, but for American citizens who have earned their position. By his appointments Mayor Thompson is merely recognizing the worth of a people. "There are three names which will stand high in American history—Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, and William Hale Thompson." Extracts From the Mayor's Address "More than 100,000 colored men and women have passed through this great hall to see this great exposition; and yet there has been no disorder of any sort and none of the petty crimes which unfortunately so often mark big gatherings of people. I doubt if any great undertaking can equal that record. "I know that in some quarters I have been criticized severely for appointing a few representative Negro citizens to positions of honor, and trust, and dignity. I am glad to take the full responsibility and the honor for making every one of those appointments, and I want to ask my critics to be as manly and to come out into the open light of day with their un-American sentiments. "Too much publicity is given the shortcomings and frailties of the colored man and too little publicity is given his genius and skill. "We read in the daily prints column after column of sickening detail of crime or misdemeanor committed by some weak, abnormal individual of your race, but seldom do we see accounts of the contributions to the world's work by your sculptors, artists, poets, scientists, and educators. "To deny equal opportunity to the Negro in this land would be out of harmony with American history, untrue to the sacred principles of liberty and equal rights, and would make a mockery of our boasted civilization and justice, and render meaningless the word opportunity. Believing this as I do, you can rest assured that, so far as my power and influence go, you will get a square deal." "John Brown's Body" At the close of the program the crowd stood and sang "John Brown's Body Lies a-Molderin' in the Grave," and the Mayor joined in the chorus that shook the walls of the Coliseum.

STARTS MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN A large crowd was in attendance at the meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Public Library Building, Tuesday night. Much interest was taken in the reports of the various committees which showed that the work had been, for the past two months, centered on two important problems: "Segregation," and "The Birth of a Nation," the photo play now showing in this city. It was stated that although the organization had taken every legal step at its command to prevent it, the play apparently would be permitted to fill the five weeks' engagement. The Committee on Segregation reported formulative plans for an active campaign against such legislation. Miss Kathryn Johnson, National organizer, spoke on "The Evils of Segregation," and on her suggestion it was decided that the local branch enter a membership campaign with the object of increasing the membership to one thousand. From the enthusiasm shown there seemed no doubt of the future usefulness of the N. A. A. C. P. in this city and it is expected that all persons believing the Negro should enjoy the rights guaranteed by the constitution will join in this movement. FICKLIN DENIES OPPOSING RESOLUTION AGAINST PHOTO PLAY To the Editor of the Argus: I desire to have you correct the article which appeared in the September 17 issue of your paper, stating I strongly opposed the resolution condemning the photo play, "Birth of a Nation," now showing at the Olympic Theater. The statement is erroneous owing to the fact that I did not take any issue on the subject, so therefore should not be quoted as stated in your paper. Note.—In an interview Mr. Ficklin admitted he voted "No" on the resolution, because he did not agree with the motion as presented, believing it should have been a public instead of a private condemnation.—The Editor.

At Poro College St. Louis seems to be the stopover point from East to West or from North to South. Many visitors were seen at Poro College during the past week. Somehow they all seem to know that they will find a hearty welcome there. Last Thursday a dinner party was served in honor of Mr. Chas, Dodge, of San Diego, Cal., and Mrs. Sutton Greggs, of Memphis, Tenn. The well-known caterer, Mr. H. S. Ferguson, served the dinner. Among those present were, Mrs. Clara Eaton, Mrs. H. Walker, Mrs. Sue Murray Bradley, Mr. Wm. Marshall, of Little Rock, and J. B. Mitchell, editor of the St. Louis Argus. A very enjoyable time is reported. The proprietors, Prof. and Mrs. Malone, were busy having moving pictures made of the operations at the College. They are preparing to entertain many visitors during the week of festivities in October. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The opening meeting of Young Men's Christian Association men's meetings was the best ever held under the auspices of the local branch in many a year. While some enthusiastic meetings were held last year, the meeting at Pythian Hall last Sunday had them all beaten a mile. Mr Williams' announcement that the colored branch would soon be lining up the men for a campaign for a new $150,000 building met a hearty response in the hearts of the men present; for nearly every man present last Sunday is already or is beginning to be a strong association man. Dr. Martyn, as usual, brought a strong message to the men and it was attentively received. His subject was, "What Shall the Harvest Be?" and he sent the men away from old Pythian wishing that the harvest might be fuller and richer in the future. Next Sunday, Evangelist James M. Smith will talk to the men at 3:45 at the same place, Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine St. Mr. Smith was for a number of years a railroad man but since his conversion has been giving his services in evangelistic work especially among railroad men. A male quartet will be present and assist Mr. Smith in the meeting. This is an open meeting to which all the men of the city are invited. Next Monday night the Male Glee Club will meet at the Y M C. A. building. This is a good opportunity for any man who has an ambition to know more about vocal music Such well known singers as Charles Q. Clark. Maurice Grant, Albert Hedgemon and others are members of the club. Any man who desires to join the club should apply to Mr. Elmer Keeton at the Y. M. C. A. building. On Tuesday night men interested are invited to meet at the building for the purpose of organizing a literary Society. VISIT THE ALABAMA KITCHEN The Alabama Kitchen, William L.

His signature was the first subscribed to the world's most famous State document. In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged his life and his fortune to the cause of the Revolution. He was one of the richest men in the colonies, holding investments in banks, breweries, stores, hotels, and also owning a fleet of vessels. The seizure of one of these precipitated the Boston massacre. In Revolutionary days and until his death he was a popular idol. When it was proposed to bombard Boston, though it would have resulted in greater personal loss to him than to any other property owner, he begged that no regard be paid to him because of his financial interests. While Hancock-did not sign the Constitution of the United States, he used his great influence in its behalf, which awakened the gratitude of Washington.

LOUIS, U. S. A. BREWED BY THE BREWERS OF NEW YORK CITY THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FATY—MIRROR NOT! I said unto thee, ye must be born again. John 6:17. Man by nature is radically wrong. This, because of sin. If we do not know this by experience we may know it by the Word of God. "All we like sheep have gone astray." says the Fraphet Isaiah. "We have turned everyone to his own way." (Isa. 53:6.) This means we are lost, for stray sheep are lost sheep. Not a few, not the lower strata of society, not just the drunkards, the harlots, the thieves, the murderers, but all are lost. God, through the Apostle Paul, says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23). And the Apostle John adds, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned we make him (God) a liar." (1 John 1:8-10.) That is, by so saying we really say to God, "You lie when you say we have sinned." My friend, let us not make God out a liar, and let us not deceive ourselves, nor be deceived by man about sin. Yea, rather "let God be true but every man a liar." Surely the testimony of his word is unmistakably clear that all men, because of sin, are radically wrong. What David says of himself is true of every one of us, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me" (Psalms 61:5, R. V.). No matter, then; how well born we may have been, the truth is we must be born again. This means that because we are radically wrong we must be radically changed. How then shall this change be wrought? To reform oneself does not effect the change, for reformation is simply an outward process and does not alter man's essential nature, anymore than to whitewash the pump changes the water in the well. To move into a better neighborhood and into a better dwelling does not effect the change, for that is simply leaving a less desirable environment for a better one. No one would try to change the character of a balky, kicking horse by removing it from a displaced shed to a palace stable. The propensity to kick and balk would remain just the same. To cultivate one's intellect does not alter one's heart, out of which, says Jesus, are the issues of life. It may refine the sinner, but it will not save him. The truth is, man does not have the power resident within himself to work the change. Notwithstanding the boasting of his natural heart, he is absolutely helpless and undone when it comes to making the change that is necessary if he is to see or enter into the kingdom of God. But what man cannot do for himself, God, in infinite mercy, is ready and willing to do for him. Ample provision has been made by which man radically wrong may be radically changed. First, God sent Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, to seek and save the lost. Secondly, the Good Shepherd laid down his life for the sheep. That is, on the cross he died for our sins, the just for the unjust. Thirdly, he not only laid down his life for the lost sheep, but he took it again. He rose from the dead and today, as the Living One, who was dead and is alive for evermore, he gives life. And to whom, we may well ask, does he will to give life? To those and only to those who come to him for life. Among the saddest words that Jesus ever uttered are these, "We would not come unto me that ye might have life" (John 5:40). That which was true then, is sadly true now, for only one thing keeps a man who is radically wrong from being radically changed, and that is his own will "But how, you say, "shall I come?" Come, my friend, just as you are, with all your sin. God knows, if you do not, how much you need to be changed, and God knows, if you do not, that unless you do come and are born from above you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. Perhaps you do not understand just what it is to come to Christ. It is just this and nothing more: to come to Christ is to receive him by faith as your own personal Savior; it is to trust him to do in your life just what he says he will do, save you from sin, its guilt and power. Will you do that? Will you believe him? Will you receive him now? If so, just lift your heart in prayer to God and say: "Oh, God, I now take Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord of my life, and ask thee to make the radical change in my life that I so much need, for I desire to see and to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Do this, oh, God, for Christ's sake." Then, having done this in your heart, read these Scriptures very carefully over again, bearing God to open the eyes of your understanding that you may see the truth of his Word. B. REV. WM. WALLACE KETCHAM Director of the Practical Work Course, Mendocino Bibliotheca of Chicago --- PEACH DAINTIES OF MERIT Many Ways of Preparing Fruit Which All Appreciate for its Perfect Flavor. For peach cobbler, prepare plain pastry from three plats of flour and three-fourths of a pound of mixed lard and butter. Line the baking dish with this and, pour in two quarts of freely stewed peaches, covering the dish with a pastry lid, pierced here and there to let out steam. Bake until brown and then cover thickly with powdered sugar and serve steaming hot with rich cream. Here is another peach pie recipe: Bake a rich pastry crust until brown and crisp and then cool. Just at serving time heap it high with sliced peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile whipped cream on top. A variation of this recipe is this: Cut short pastry into squares and fold the four corners to the center. Moisten them with milk, press them down so that they will remain in place, prick the pastry with a fork and bake one square for each person. Brown in the oven, chill and serve piled high with peaches cut into large pieces, stewed just until tender and sweetened to taste. Top with a big spoonful of whipped cream. Still another peach pie, the favorite of a very good cook, is this: Sift together a cupful and a half of flour, a quarter of a cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Inte this cut half a cupful of butter and add enough milk to make a stiff batter. Use as little milk as possible. Roll into a thick sheet, line a deep pie pan with it and slice peaches into it. Sweeten them well and cover them with sour or sweet milk, then bake until done in a moderate oven. A tempting dessert is peach whip. To make it press ripe peaches through a vegetable press, sweeten to taste and mix immediately with whipped cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in tall glasses and serve very cold. Another tempting dessert is a peach sandwich, one for each person. Slice a stale sponge cake and dip the slices quickly in milk. Then brown in butter. Between each two slices pile freshly sliced, sweetened peaches and pile on whipped cream. METHOD OF PICKLING ONIONS Writer Makes Some Buggestions Which Seem to Be Worthy of Consideration. Peeling the onions is a decidedly painful task, but it is made less so if they are done in cold water. Some people even put them in boiling water and allow them to come to the boil before peeling them. I prefer the former plan. With small silver pickling onions to each quart of vinegar allow two tablespoonfuls of black peppercorns, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level teaspoonfuls of salt, two bay leaves. Remove the outer skin with a silver knife; if a steel one is used the onions will turn black. If liked, peel them in a basin of cold water, for besides making the operation less painful, it helps to whiten them by removing some of the essential oil. Dry them lightly in a cloth. Put the vinegar, spices and bay leaves in a saucepan, boll them until the vinegar is well flavored, and let it get cold. Put the onions in jars or wide-necked bottle, fill them up with the vinegar, adding a little spice to each bottle. Cork down tightly. They will be ready for use in about a month.—Boston Globe. Barley Water With Jelly. Place two ounces of pearl barley with very little water in a saucepan, and when warm pour this off and add a quart of fresh water and simmer gently for three-quarters of an hour. Strain through a muslin and add three tablespoonfuls of red currant jelly; allow to cool and serve. Other flavorings in the form of raspberry vinegar, crabapple jelly, or black currant jelly may be added. Orange rind and juice may also be added as a change. Apple and Suet Pudding. Two cupfuls of chopped apples, two cupfuls of chopped raisins, one cupful of sour milk, one cupful of molasses, one cupful of suet and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Begin by putting one teaspoonful of soda in the milk, then add a little grated nutmeg and cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Stir the suet into this mixture and then put in the flour a small quantity at a time. Boll tied up in muslin. Chocolate Pie. Put one and a half cupful milk on stove to heat. When hot thicken with following mixture: Well-heaten yolks of two eggs, half cupful sugar, two level tablespoonfuls corn starch, one tablespoonful cocoa, a pinch of salt, half cupful milk. When cool flavor with vanilla, put in pie shell, cover with a frosting made of the whites of the eggs and one tablespoonful of sugar. Brown in oven. Imitation Eggnog. Thoroughly beat up an egg with a slack teaspoonful of sugar—doing this in the glass in which the "mog" is to be served. Then fill the glass with hot milk and grate nutmeg on top. This is very nourishing and almost always inviting to the children, who at times take a distaste for solid foods.

LOUIS ARGUS SECRET OF SUCCESS IN "PUTTING UP" SUPPLIES. If anybody appreciates the kindness of Mother Nature it is the practical housekeeper. This is especially true in summertime when by her bountiful store of fruits and vegetables she increases the housekeeper's store at little cost and contributes much to reduce her labor. There are several methods of canning, and the secret of success in each is absolute sterilization. The best and easiest methods of canning are cooking the fruits in jars in an oven; cooking the fruits in jars in a steamer or in boiling water, and stewing the fruit before it is put into the jars. Glass is the most satisfactory jar to use in canning. Glass jars are becoming so universally in favor that they are taking the place of tin cans for everything; even for tomatoes. They are more economical than tin, for although the glass costs more in the beginning, it has been over again. While there are many kinds of jars, the preference should usually be given to those with wide mouths. In canning fruits or jelly it is important that the fruits or berries should not be over-ripe. Fruit for canning should be fresh, solid and not over-ripe. If over-ripe some of the spores may survive the boiling and fermentation takes place in a short time. In preparing the fruit remove all stems, then peel with a silver knife, core or remove the seeds or pits as the case may be. Peaches, pears or apples may be kept from discoloring if they are dropped as they are pared into cold water to which a little vinegar or lemon juice may be added. Canned Pearls.—Twenty-four Bartlett pears, eight cupfuls water, two cupfuls sugar. Bartlett pears are the best for canning. Put the water and sugar into a preserving kettle. Let the sirup come to boiling point and skim off the froth if any rises. While the sirup is heating carefully halve, peel and core the pears, being careful not to use those that are over-ripe or imperfectly shaped. Drop pieces into a basin of cold water until all are pared. Put the halved pears into the boiling sirup, but do not stir. Take a large roasting pan with handles and place in it as many sterilised canning jars as it will hold. Pour some tepid water in the pan to a depth of about two inches, and place the pan on the side of the stove. The water will get hot and keep the jars warm. Sterilize the rubber rings and covers. By this time the fruit will be boiling. When the pears commence to lose their hard whiteness they are ready to take off. Lift out pieces separately with a spoon and put them into the hot jars. Fill jars and cover with the sirup; fill even with the top. put the rings and covers on and screw tight. For Cream Preservation All white or cream dressings are made by blending the butter with the flour, then stirring it rapidly into the boiling milk. Use white pepper when making the dressing and boil it in a double boiler. Keep it warm, and thin with cream if too stiff when done, or fold in the white of egg, whipped to a stiff froth. A teaspoonful of vinegar to a quart of flour if added with the ice water, gives the much-desired faky appearance to fruit pies. Tomato Pickle. Six pounds of green tomatoes, if very large, cut in pieces. Put them into strong brine for 24 hours, drain them very dry. Put them in a stewing pan, cover with vinegar to which has been added one pound of sugar, one-quarter pound long pepper, one-quarter pound allspice, one-quarter pound cloves and one-quarter pound cinnamon. Simmer till tender, but do not let them boil. Garman Potato Klossae One pint mashed potatoes, mixed in two beaten eggs, one pint of flour, one even tablespoonful of salt. Form into small flat cakes (same as fishballs), cook in boiling water about ten minutes. When first put in kettle, stir around until they rise to the top of water. Very nice with roast of veal or any nice brown gravy. Good warmed over in butter, cut up. State Broad Fritters Cut the bread in slices, about a third of an inch thick, fry in fat, from which a faint blush smoke is rising, and when each piece is fried on one side turn it over and spread the browned side with marmalade or jam. When cooked, lift out and sprinkle with caster sugar mixed with a little cinnamon. Fruit Fluff. To every pint of chopped peach, banana or pineapple allow one pint of water, six eggs and one pound of sugar; beat eggs until light, then add other ingredients and cook until thick as custard Strain, set dish in pan of cold water and beat until cold. Freeze and serve with a stirrup like a sundae. Chocolate Riese One cupful of rice boiled until tender. Make a stirup of one cupful sugar, one square chocolate; pour over rice and stir. Put in a mold to cool and serve with whipped cream. Elderberries are not eaten very widely; but they possess a delightful flavor, and the housekeeper with time—and elderberries—on her hands will do well to preserve them in several different ways, for they will furnish an unusual flavor to her winter menus. Grape and Elderberry Preserve—This is delicious. To make it allow equal quantities of elderberries and grapes and use a grape with decided, even tart, flavor, for the sweetness of the elderberry makes up for much tartness of grape. The grapes must be opened with a very sharp knife and the seeds must be removed. Allow as much sugar as the elderberries and grapes together weigh. Put the fruit in a preserving kettle and barely cover with cold water. Bring to the boiling point, skim and add a fourth of the sugar. Bring to the boiling point again, add another quarter of the sugar and boil for 20 minutes. Repeat until the sugar is all used and then boil until a little of the stirp jellies on a plate on the ice. Pack into jars. Be careful not to break the grapes more than is absolutely necessary in the cooking. Elderberry Jelly.—For this use half as much wild green 'grape juice as elderberry juice. Use a pound of sugar to each of juice and cook, skimming as the sirup simmers, until it jellies when tested on ice. Elder Blossom Wine.—Pick from the stems enough blossoms to fill a quart measure when pressed down; add one gallon of cold water and steep 24 hours. Strain and add four pounds of sugar, three sliced lemons and one cup of yeast. Set away for two weeks, then strain carefully, pour into a jug and, after several months, bottle. Canned Elderberries.—One peck of firm. ripe elderberries and one pint of strong vinegar, three pounds of brown sugar and one quart of molasses. Boll all together for five or ten minutes and bottle. The elderberries should be measured after picking from the stems. SIMPLE PUDDINGS THE BEST Housekeepers Are Coming to Appreciate the Merits of Dishes That Are Plain and Inexpensive. The American housekeeper is learning to appreciate the value of simple puddings. She finds them much less expensive and more wholesome for the daily menu than rich creams and other elaborate desserts. Puddings of rice and macaroni are easily made and inexpensive. Rice is a valuable item in the daily dietary and a pleasant one if properly cooked. Ordinary rice puddings should never be made with eggs; the addition of eggs turns the pudding into a custard, and as a rice pudding needs such long cooking the custard becomes hardened. Rice needs slow cooking for two and a half to three hours. Adding milk is an improvement and makes the pudding more nourishing. Skim milk is often used for these puddings, but in this case suet or a good piece of butter should be put in, as when the cream has been taken from the milk it loses in fat and nourishment, though it retains much of its strengthening properties. Smaller grains, such as semolina, fine sago and ground rice will cook in a much shorter time than rice—about 12 minutes will do. Large sago or taploca takes about 20 minutes. A good recipe for rice pudding is: Four cupful milk, one-third cupful rice, one-half cupful seeded raisins if desired, one-third cupful sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt. Mix ingredients in a baking dish and cook in a very slow over for four or five hours. It will be necessary to stir occasionally to prevent rice and raisins from settling to bottom of dish. If raisins are not used some flavoring should be added. Poor Man's Pudding. Two quarts of sweet milk, two thirds of a cupful of whole rice, one cupful of sugar, butter the size of a walnut, a little salt and grated nutmeg or a section of lemon peel. Put all together in a baking dish and bake until the rice is cooked through. A shorter way to make this pudding is to boil the rice first. The sweet can also be covered with a meringue flavored with lemon juice if the peel is used in the pudding. Pineapple Peel Juice Cut the peel of the pineapple into small pieces. Weigh and take same quantity of sugar. Make a sirup of one cupful of water to each pound of sugar, then add pineapple or sirup. Boil 15 minutes, slow, steady boiling. Let stand over night, then strain and squeeze in cheesecloth. Bottle and put on ice, or in a cool place. This makes a fine pudding sauce and is delicious on boiled rice. Mint Cup. Into a bowl pour a quart of claret and a bottle of soda water, a wine glassful of curacao and enough sugar to sweeten. Add a handful of picked and brushed mint leaves and two pounds of crushed ice. Stir briskly and serve. Cream Cheese Salad Mash a cake of cream cheese, and add to it a few chopped walnuts and some chopped chives, also a dash of paprika. Make into balls with butter paddles, serve on lettuce leaves with French dressing.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION ACTION BETTER THAN DISCUSSION. are still waiting to see something tangible and matter of meeting the segregation project. With discussion. We want to do something. We could sit and discuss the question for them, as a very easy thing to discuss, for gentlemen, publicly hall, or clergymen in their pulpits. In the ladies and gentlemen of the reign of Louis in France, seated in gilded saloon and on horseback with luxury, discussed the rights of them in dainty phrases. There they sat, taking out new theories and building up a splendid talk. But the angry mob broke open the door of passion in blood. They waited too long, discussing too long. See, discussion is very good when a man has liberty and liberty are assured, and his pursuit is carried with. But discussion is very bad when it is bad alert; when he is "digging himself in" it is intent; when his sappers and miners are laying on his position, one day to be touched off and social map. Discussion is bad in that. Grover Cleveland used to say: "We are with a theory, but a condition." Condition is nearer than some of us think, so near a fact that we cannot see it. You are Union Station that you would not know wishing at a mere heap of granite or the finished long. So it is with a fact. The men who stare at the last to recognize either its breadth on its lips the last men to appreciate a fact are the eye it passes. And it is just so with this which we have been too long discussing. We at the danger is upon us. But maybe our care is more distinctly than we do, and soon we not consider our children, even if we are under ourselves? Did you ever stop to think of shame of a father is his children? That work well who has left a child better off if. The German prayer is: "Lord, grant I borrow as yesterday!" No American should be better off tomorrow than he is today; his child shall have a better starting point if. Fathers got their liberty fifty years ago and it; and we honor them for it. It remains for lives to the liberty and welfare of our children us. We cannot be as good as our fathers un- We are still waiting to see something tangible and concrete done in the matter of meeting the segregation project. There has been enough discussion. We want to do something more than discuss. We could sit and discuss the question for the next fifty years. It is a very easy thing to discuss, for gentlemen in handsome assembly hall, or clergymen in their pulpits. Why, the ladies and gentlemen of the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI, in France, seated in gilded saloon and on Persian carpets, surrounded with luxury, discussed the rights of man, and balanced them in dainty phrases. There they sat, discussing sweetly, making out new theories and building up a splendid architecture of talk. But the angry mob broke open the doors and ended the discussion in blood. They waited too long, discussed about a half century too long. You see, discussion is very good when a man has his ri3hts, and his life and liberty are assured, and his pursuit of happiness not interfered with. But discussion is very bad when the enemy is active and alert; when he is "digging himself in" impregnable intrenchment; when his sappers and miners are laying a powder train under our position, one day to be touched off and blow us off the political and social map. Discussion is bad in that case. We want action. Grover Cleveland used to say: "We are not confronted with a theory, but a condition." This condition is nearer than some of us think. We are sometimes so near a fact that we cannot see it. You could stand so near the Union Station that you would not know whether you were looking at a mere heap of granite or the finished wall of a great building. So it is with a fact. The men who stand nearest to it are often the last to recognize either its breadth or its meaning. Perhaps the last men to appreciate a fact are the men nearest to whose eye it passes. And it is just so with this segregation movement which we have been too long discussing. We are hardly aware that the danger is upon us. But maybe our children will understand it more distinctly than we do, and sooner than we expect. Shall we not consider our children, even if we are not willing to consider ourselves? Did you ever stop to think that the glory or the shame of a father is his children? That father has done his work well who has left a child better off and better than himself. The German prayer is: "Lord, grant I may be as well off tomorrow as yesterday!" No American should pray that. He wants to be better off tomorrow than he is today. And he means that his child shall have a better starting point in life than himself. Our fathers got their liberty fifty years ago and they made the best of it; and we honor them for it. It remains for us to devote ourselves to the liberty and welfare of our children, that they may honor us. We cannot be as good as our fathers unless we are better. THE MEANING OF FRATERNITY. Negro is characterized by fraternal organization—organizations of brotherhood and sisterhoods fraternal organizations, at least in numb and if any people ought to be so organized in only it is our people. What is the use of a fraternity, be it church or not exemplify the fundamental principle of brotherhood! And underlying this is the principle ye one another's burden", is the cardinalies all our organizations, just as it underlies The Negro is characterized by fraternal organizations without number—organizations of brotherhood and sisterhood. Greatest of all his fraternal organizations, at least in numbers, is the church. And if any people ought to be so organized into fraternities certainly it is our people. But what is the use of a fraternity, be it church or lodge, which does not exemplify the fundamental principle of its existence—brotherhood! And underlying this is the principle of sacrifice. "Bear ye one another's burden" is the cardinal principle that underlies all our organizations, just as it underlies Christiany itself. All other religions allow that the strong have the right to use the weak. Like Darwin's principle of the survival of the fittest, the best, the strongest have a right to have the world to themselves and to absorb the less privileged in their enjoyable career. We have men and women among us in this city, strong in money and in influence, who give not a flip for their fellows. They stand high in church, society and lodge, yet do nothing and give nothing toward the welfare of their race. If they ever consider the greatest good of the greatest number, it is only because they count the greatest number to be—"number one!" Now, wealth, health and knowledge are a trust. "If any man be chief among you, let him be your servant." If you know anything, communicate it. If you have anything, give it. Whatever you hold, it is not yours. See that you make yourself the servant of the weakness of your race and your age. God, in His wisdom and providence, to which the man of Nazareth gave us the key, has always been dragging down the great and lifting up the humble and the Nazarene was the first Teacher who recognized the law of God, that the greater is the servant of the lesser. play, "She Birth of a Nation" is settled, so far as we are concerned. We entered our vigorous protest and did our best to prevent the production; but the court has decided that the film shall be allowed to exhibit without further interference, by the police or otherwise, and that settles the matter. Judge Henning's decision was to the effect, that the best evidence that the play is not objectionable is that it has been showing several weeks and nothing serious has occurred. We are tempted to comment on the shallowness of this decision, which is very reasonable. You are not allowed to tote a gun and the court will deal with you if you do. How absurd! John Doe has toted a gun for six months and nothing has occurred. You must not run your automobile through the city streets above so many miles an hour. What foolishness! Plenty of chauffers open her wide every chance they get, and nothing serious has occurred. Fine reasoning that! Laws are enacted forbidding these acts because with a gun in your pocket some impulse may cause you to use it; and with unchecked speed under your hand, recklessness may tempt you to run amuck. Most laws are intended to prevent something serious occurring. Not prohibiting Dixon's film because nothing serious has occurred belongs to the same category with locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. Well, so be it. Judges are only human, and many things besides justice or reason influence their decisions.

Belle PL MODERN HAIR-DRESSING PARLOR Miss Daisy English has opened a modern hair dressing parlor at 1822 N. Pendleton. Miss English has fitted up an up-to-date place with private booths. She is the first in the city to introduce the shampoo board and shampoo spray for the colored trade. Another innovation is the giving of first treatments for 50 cents and a box of oil free. She also makes the treatments of baldness a specialty. The parlor fixtures are pure white and are most attractive. Miss English is a graduate of the Molar School and uses that system. WHAT SOME FOOLS THINK One-third of the fools in this country think they can beat a lawyer expounding the laws. One-half think they can beat the doctor healing the sick. Two-thirds of them think they can put the minister in a hole expounding the gospel, and all of them think they can beat the editor running a paper.

BROADWAY GO EARLY THE CAFE MAXIME The Cafe Maxime, at Pine and Channing, entrance on Channing, had its informal opening to a fashionable crowd last Monday night. This beautiful place is the largest in the city, is elegantly decorated and its walls lined with massive mirrors. The managers have started out with a most fashionable clientele. An upto-date cabaret is in charge of the following entertainers: Ed. Hudson, Vernie Robinson, Rose Brown and Arthur Chaney. A special big souvenir night will be given October 1. The cafe can be rented for parties and receptions. SPECIAL: See the Pathe Weekly, first-run pictures, at the Comet Theater, Tuesdays and Fridays. no one i to hear His add --- REAL ARTISTS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Real stars of the footlights vie with each other at the Booker Washington Theater this week and the bill is full of art, up-to-date and entertaining. Miss Josephine Tobias, a favorite singer, with a most entrancing voice, is scoring a big applause on her three numbers. She is singing, "Swanee River," and "My Old Home in Dixie Land," both with her own variation. She closes with, "The Garden of the Gods," and is heartily encored Selman and Selman, a team that is mainly characterized by the excellent bass voice of the male member, is losing favor because of repetition. The act and songs have been presented here so often that the patrons are tired of it. With a new vehicle Selman would be a big hit here. Jim Sterling: a white performer with nothing but an improvised violin is a decided novelty with a punch. With this instrument he executes several imitations that are winners and get the hand in big measure. His feature is the wondering mind of a boy who is taking his music lesson. The act is from "Big Time" and is well appreciated. Buster and Bailey return more popular than ever. These lively boys are original and know what pleases the patrons. They always have something new and herein lies the key to their success. As "The Soup Smellers," they are full of the richest comedy. Their eccentric dancing and singing keep the audience in a spasm of laughter and applause. Their act is one of, if not the best, seen here since the days of the old D. O. K. Time. NEW MOVIE THEATER A MODEL PICTURE HOUSE The Movie Theater, on Market, near Jefferson, reopened its doors to the public last Sunday. The place has undergone extensive repairs and decorations. The roof has been raised several feet and windows placed on both sides of the building permitting a perfect ventilation. The screen has also been raised and it is now possible for patrons in the back rows to see the pictures with the utmost comfort. Manager Tommie James has also secured a program of most interesting pictures. (Charlie Chaplin will be seen at this theater every Sunday. Next Sunday, "In the Days of Thundering Herd," a 5 reel picture, with Indians, soldiers, cowboys, buffaloes, etc., will be shown. The serial picture, "Romance of Elaine," is run every Monday. This house is now on a par with the best 5 cent houses in the city. The Pendleton Theater, a new moving picture house on Finney Ave, just east of Pendleton, opened to the public this week. This is the only picture house, for colored, west of Jefferson Ave., and is one of the neatest 5 cent theaters in the city.

Broadway. The Alphen Braus won the pennant of the second half of the Interstate League this season and is considered the best semi-pro white team in this part of the country, but Ed Brock has been busy all week signing up players to beat the Giants next Sunday. He has secured Kunkel, third baseman of Peoria, and Hollocher, a second baseman from the Central League, to perform. "Lefty" Alberts will be on the mound and Johnny Brock behind the bat. Manager Milla will have his regular team and is confident of victory. The Alphen Braus will play a double header, the first game being with another team. The Giants' game will start at 3:30 and as the park is expected to be crowded by that time, those who wish to see the game should go early. The Alphen Braus are scheduled for two games with the Cardinals, October 16, 17. The Giants' and as the crowded by fish to see the The Alphen r two games October 16, 17. In the series last week, the Giants beat Rube Foster's American Giants three out of five completed games. One game, Thursday, was a tie. "Spec" Webster and Gatewood were injured in an automobile accident Friday, and with Smith's sore arm, the team pulled up lame Saturday. To fill a previous engagement, Manager Mills was forced to send the boys to Chicago with one pitcher. They lost a three-game series, but fought to the end. Jimmie Lyons pitched a five-hit game Wednesday, and only lost by the close score of 4 to 3. The team will be at its best Sunday, when it meets Ed. Brocks' improvised champions at 3600 South Broadway. Kid Cary, substitute third baseman on the Giants, was unable to go to Chicago on account of the death of his brother. The white East St. Louis Giants won from Kyle's Giants 3-1 last Sunday. The same teams play a double-header next Sunday at Polo Park, East St. Louis. First game starts at 1:30. KEYSTONE CAFE BOOMING The Keystone Cafe continues to hold its own and be in popular favor with admirers of good service, courteous treatment and up-to-date entertaining. Tom Mills and George Renolds are handling the cabaret program with credit. After October 1 the kitchen will be on the second floor and a bungalow will be constructed in the rear of the dining hall. As usual, Veiled Prophet night will be a big one at this popular cafe. Speck Robinson, and Miss Marian Fitsugh are entertaining at the Douglass Cafe. Battling Ball complains to the Argus that the matchmaker at the Future City Club will not give him a chance to meet any of the boxers. He wants to box Leo Johnson, Mexican Kid, or any of them. Ball says he has never been knocked out and submits his record of eleven victories, one draw and two defeats. He bars no one in the 133 class, and would like to hear from some good promoter. His address is Carl Ball, 509 Pine St. --- G MONDAY, SEPT. 27 THEATRE CRYSTAL PALACE CAFE The Crystal Palace Cafe, at 2901 Lawton Ave., has, during its short existence, become one of the city's most popular meeting places.
