Chicago Evening Post Says "Racial Antipathy Is the Fuse Which Will Fire This Dreadful Charge, If It Is to Be Fired." By Associated Nero Press CHICAGO, May 28—It is reported either and that, that Colored people have been called many different names, but it remained for the "Chicago Evening Post," leading daily, to deordinate the Race in Chicago as a potential stick of dynamite." This was done in a lengthy favorable editorial recently, calling attention to the necrosity of larger economic cooperation between the Colored and Blacks. Said the Chicago Evening Post: "The unity unit of this Colored population is a potential stick of dynamite. What happened in Springfield and East St. Louis—not to go outside of the bounds of our own state—can and may happen in Chicago. These Colored citizens are dynamic potentials, because they are in Chicago, but not of Chicago. Racial antipathy in the ruse which will are this daunting charge, if it is ever felt. And the more every day terms means prejudice, injustice, misunderstanding, hostility and indifference. The Negro has his part to perform in this adjustment; but we have emphasized the white man's role. The leadership falls to him. It is up to him to decide whether the potential human dynamite will ever explode. MESS ATTEMPTANTS WANTED IN NAVY By Associated New York Press AUGUSTA, May 19—In these times of "world wide democracy" it is well to note that "spreadlid" inducements are held out to people to join the war. It is announced "officially" that there is opportunity for promotion. And so, here in August, they are encouraging to get our young men to gallist. One story of obtaining young Colored men as more attentive now is appropriate. ever before. The war has proved the quality of service a Colored man is capable of rendering, and he need feel no apprehension that he will not make good in the service, nor that he will not be rapidly advanced. If they enlist now, they have a very good chance to become Steward to the Commander in Chief of the Navy. If he well understand the Good Commandant, Chief of the Navy, as well as the Army, is the President of the United States. So, then, our valiant, intelligent, heroic young men have the wonderful encouragement of knowing that they have a dare chance to work up in the Navy to become "Stewarn" to the President. Of course, a few lieutenants, captains, admirals, rear and forward, and the like, would not be any inducement in comparison with the foregoing.

WHITES OF SOUTH SHIRKED DUTY Evidence That they Evailed Military Service and Seat Colored to Fight, Hopping the Black Men Would be Killed and Not Return. NEW YORK. May 28—From sources made public from authentic sources it appears that of the 388, 710 Colored men inducted into the war, by draft, 239,097 or 65 per cent were from Southern States, whose white contribution was only 370,266. Colored White Mississippi gave 24,068 19,298 South Carolina 25,798 12,261 Louisiana 28,711 29,488 Georgia 24,801 28,888 Maine 25,996 28,888 In the first two named states, Colored population is greater than the white, but nevertheless, in the whole South Carolina the officer of the grade military service and send the Colored brother to sight in sheer stead, hoping that he would be killed off and not return, or else aiming to stay at home themselves and get rich from war profiteering. The South stands today disgraced before the rest of the country as a "puskyfooter" and slacker. Paraphrasing President Wilson's famous statement, the were "too cowardly to fight." The Democratic administration is responsible that this section of the country was allowed to work its bounded patriotic duty. Like in all secrets, information is beginning to filter thru that no section in the whole country has profiled from the war as the South. WWI was the war of the Southern senators and representatives having their hands on the steering wheel of the government, armed with war time authority, the South has proceeded to feather its own nest openly. Two things may be mentioned from a number. The report of the Government railroad administration shows that big roads throughout the North and West had huge deficits, while even the Little Southern roads showed surplus and profits. This is said to be due to the fact that Government troop trains and freight trains have been deflected from their usual routes and over Southern railways for the very purpose of "helping them out." On the Press boat going to the Peace Conference little South dullly reported to the Secretary of State are reported to have been allowed 2 representatives, which were all that were allowed the big papers like The New York World, six three lager in circulation and power. The Northern States are not asleep and in later days have grown bitter, especially since the prohibition amendment have become a fact. They say as the Harriman National Association has recently advertisement, "If the South is going to foil on us an 18th Amendment we are going to see that the 15th Amendment is enforced." "Not that we are concerned with the wisdom of justice of Negro suffrage or prohibition, but we are concerned with the rights and privileges or citizenship as conferred by the Constitution, under which we have achieved successfully 130 years of our national life."

METHODISTS HOPE TO UNITE AT THE COLUMBUS MEETING By Associated Negro Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio. May 13—Having been genuinely assured that separations have been completed, there are growing indications that large numbers of our people will attend the Methodist Centenary at Columbus. June 20 to July 13. This event, which is calculated to bring the Methodist Church North and the Methodist Church South together in a degree of co-operation without precedent since 1847, has a peculiar significance for the Race, because the Home missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church was a Negro. John Stetson who began his work of evangelization at Columbus, near what is now Upper Sunday, in Ohio. The general church gives fall credit to this fact. In their uncommon plans, the Methodists of the two churches have created a special department to show the wrk of the Race in evangelization, and to provide for entertainment at Columbus. Rev. Dr. E. L. Gilliam, of Eleventh Street M. E. Church, is chairman of this committee. There are eight Methodist Episcopal churches among our city. All the leading Methodist workers of both Races and both denominations will be present at this gathering. It will be a event long to be remembered, as plans concerning the vital interests of the church militant and the church triumphant, in promoting the progress of Christian citizenship, will be considered and handled without fear or favor.

PUBLIC ATTENTION Owing to the false rumors prevalent in the community to the effect that Rev. G. W. Dickey was indicted or is now under bond on account of a charge that he had assaulted a certain girl of the neighborhood, wish to say they are false and untrue. For the benefit of those concerned I wish to state that the prosecuting attorney refused to tame the case after hearing the evidence in the case, threw the case out, and ordered Rev. Dickey's release, which did not cost him one penny. I wish further to state that this case has been thoroughly investigated by the Rev. S. J. Patterson, Missionary of the Autochthon Baptist Association, who went to the trouble to act, which he is to report to the Executive. I am using the method to disobuse the minds and to correct this misinformation and unscrupulous report disrupted to hurt our good name. BIG CROWD HEARSDuBOIS BIG CROWD HEARSDuBOIS The largest crowd ever witnessed at Union Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, came to hear Dr. W. E. B. DuBois tell of his trip to France where he secured first hand information in regard to the Negro Soldier in the war. For one hour and twenty minutes Dr. DuBois recited his trip to France and told how the prejudice of the American white man (officer and soldier) followed the Negro soldier into France and into the trenches like an avenging Nemesis. "Yet," said the speaker, "many of the mean things done to the Negro soldier reacted upwardly to the French people found that all the propaganda spreaded against the blacks was based on racial prejudice" Dr. DuBois said he was very anxious that the world should know the manly part played by the Negro in the great war from time his registration card was torn off at the corner until the armistice was signed. He spoke of the great work being done during the Negro civilization for the Advancement of Colored People and urged the people to join the local branch. The Speaker was introduced by the Rev. Dr. William H. Peck, pastor of St. James A. M. B. Church of this city as the spokesman for fifteen millions of Negroes who would tell the truth without fear or fear.

ACCUMULATED FORTUNE MORE THAN $1,000,000 Visited St. Louis Recently and Donated $6,000 to Charity. Had Planned to Give Larger Sum to the People's Hospital." FUNERAL IN NEW YORK CITY FRIDAY (By the Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, MAY 29.—Madam J. C. Walker, business woman and philanthropist, regarded as the richest woman of the race, died early Sunday morning, at her beautiful home, Irvington on the Hudson. The Walker took sick during a recent visit to St. Louis. There she was attended by noted physicians, and as soon as possible, was removed to her home in New York, where she was attended by her family physician. MaJ Joseph H. Ward, of Indianapolis, recently returned from France, and other noted specialists. Nothing known to medical science was in order to give this noted and unusual woman a longer lens on life. During the last week, however, it was seen that her case was beyond medical aid, and the end was looked forward to both by friends and relatives. Madam Walker sank into coma on Thursday, and never regained consciousness. Her end was peaceful. General is arranged for Friday at 11 a.m., and the remains will be interred in Woodlawn Cemetery, and will be one of the largest ever held in the city. Numbers of the representatives of Madam Walker's firm from various parts of the country are in the city to do her homage.

The entire arrangement for funerals for the home of Madam Walker's attorney, F. B. Ransom, of Indianapolis. It is understood that the gigantic business left by Madam Walker will be carried on by her only daughter, Mrs. Lelia Robinson, Walker, a young woman of unusual business accomplishment. Now New York Wednesday morning from a business tour of South America. Madam C. J. Walker was left a legacy to the Race in business and philanthropy that may well be at once an inspiration and example to all. Born a little over 50 years ago in Vicksburg, Miss, her early life was spent principally on her job, so she began the manufacture of hair preparations, and in a short time there was a demand from all sections of the country. Madam Walker, for some time, was undeided where to establish headquarters. She was in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other points for a time, and finally selected Indianapolis, which is the capital of the state. Much of the success of the business is due to the fact that early Madam Walker saw the great importance of advertising judiciously, regardless of expense, and this has been continued. Just recently an international campaign in advertising was begun. Her charities and philanthropies also early successes in business. She startled the country a few years ago by giving $1,000 towards the erection of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. Since then Madam Walker has been a generous donor, and much of her good work is unknown to the world. For years she has kept a number of young people in Tuskegee Institute, where she has taught big public gift was just a few weeks ago, when she sent her check for $600 towards a fund to fight lynching in the United States. Madam Walker started in business as a manufacturer of hair preparations in St. Louis 15 years ago and her immense fortune was amassed in that period of time. She has always had a warm heart for her former home and friends and paid to choreographer Janet O'Reilly the latter part of April to arrange her generous donations to the Old Folks' Home, Orphan Home, Y. M. C. A. and People's Hospital. Her distributions at that time amounted to $6000 and it is said she had declared her intention of giving a more substantial sum to the hospital in the near future. She here Madam Walker was taken severely ill and it was then learned for the first time, that she was suffering from chronic nephritis (or Bright's disease). She recovered sufficiently to leave for her home on April 25, accompanied by Dr. W. P. Curtis and a nurse. Madam Walker was a member of the Color Committee that visited President W. W. Clinton, protector against the St. Louis rioting. She was paying the expenses of several students at Tuskegee Institute and she was assisting Colored persons in other institutions to get an education.

PRICE 5 CENTS COLORED -NURSES RESIGN POSITIONS AT CITY HOSPITAL Young Women Graduates Who Entered City Institution To Study Methods And Prepare For New Colored Branch. Declare "Conditions Were Unbearable." St. Louis Physicians and other leaders of the race have become alarmed over what appears to be a change of Policy contemplated in operating the Colored branch of the City Hospital, which if carried out will defeat the object of having an institutional separate from the main hospital. The truth leaked out this week when the third Colored nurse resigned from the city's employ. It has been known to a comparative few that a few graduated nurses have been employed at the City Hospital to study its methods and prepare for Hospital No. 2, which is to be exclusively for Colored. The first to enter the institution was Miss Clark, last October. Of five others who have taken up the work, three have resignated. They are: Miss Robinson, a graduate of William Hospital, Washington, D.C.; Miss Jenkins, Rt. of the General Hospital, Kansas; Miss Junatta Cooper, who finished at the Provident in St. Louis. Two others, Miss Gray and Miss Williams, have entered the service just recently. The nurses who have resigned give practically the same reason and their statements come to mind. Each charges that the conditions under which they were compelled to work were unearable and immutable. They claim that no place was provided for them to spend their rest hours; that they had to eat in the diet kitchen, and that they were placed under the supervise of the nurses. One of the young ladies states that she was in the surgical department, but had only been permitted to wash and make up beds and serve trays. No Colored Doctors on Staff. An investigation, by an Argus reporter, brought out the fact that it is the general opinion among the St. Louis physicians that the plans for the new hospital are not working out, as expected when the request for a separate building was granted. It is now compelled that, instead of all of the force being Colored, the house physician, house surgeon, head and assistant head nurses, and the general staff will be white, although the superintendent is Colored. What concern the doctors vitally is that no assurance is given that any Colored physician will be on the staff, thereby denying them the opportunity and benefits of cooperation. Several of them told the reaper that it was impossible for them to obtain any information at all on the subject. A number have become completely discouraged, declaring that the hospital will fall of its purpose if only Colored internes are admitted. DR. -HYDER RETURNS HOME Dr. Frank M. Hyer, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, 137th street and Lenox avenue, New York, was among the distinguished ministers in St. Louis last week. The St. James has the largest membership of any Colored Presbyterian church in the world, with over 600 members. Dr. Hyder took charge of this church years ago, age 10, of 300 members, of a self-supporting and has purchased a mute at a cost of 8509. Dr. Hyder departed for the East Tuesday after expressing his pleasure with his trip to St. Louis, where he made many warm friends.

METROPOLITAN NOTES. Last Sunday, despite the dreariness of the weather, the Old Metropolitan Church enjoyed a very large and enthusiastic congregation. The pastor, Rev Shaw, was at his best and delivered a very forceful sermon. There was much rejoicing. It was a great Pentecostal message; the Holy Spirit appeared almost visible. Thirty-five persons joined the church during the day. Dr. Shaw will deliver his last communion sermon for this Conference year Sunday morning at 11 a.m. One of the special features of the morning service will be the communion. All of the children of the church will commute at this special service. The two great sermons of last Sunday have become well spread throughout the city. The two sermons which the pastor is to deliver next Sunday promises to surpass those of last Sunday. The Rev. Dr. Shaw is hurling some awful gospel bombs in the camp and sinners are trembling and being converted in almost every service.

E Mission Ministers \at their last meeting, passed a timely resolution. E Mission Ministers, at their last meeting passed a timely resolution: WHEREAS, all Methodist denominations are putting forth a strong and world-wide financial movement, for bringing the world to Christ, have raised $35,700,000 of their quota; we have a vision that the greatest financial need is our Mission minister and all other departments of end great church, are financed, the mission minister having no support which is the greatest neglect, the spread of the gospel on the land, or sea. The greatest gospel trumpet is sounded by the mission minister, and the only sources of which the good news and glad tidings travel is by the mission minister, and WHEREAS, the greatest work has and is being done by the mission minister, why should we muzzle the ox that truss put t's corn—poor mission minister, in the poorest of poor fields should be paid. Jesus Christ, our Lord said, a servant is worthy of his hire. The truth, has a backbone without joints. The mission minister ought to be paid if any minister is paid.

Burton, reporter. ice Sunday was Dr. C. B. Roman, dean of Mehara Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee. His message was to the young and was taken from Dent. 30 chapter, 15-19 vases. The lesson was drawn from Moses, whose long life and success as a leader was attributed to his obedience. "The surest passport to a long life is an upright life," said Dr. Roman. If the laws of health are violated there will be physical suffering. The moral laws are just as capitals and just an operative as the physical laws. The first generation "made good" and the gaudlet is now thrown down so this and future generations. The doctor's sermon was instructive and forgiving and we hope it makes a further impression upon the people in the community.

Subscriber for The Argus Dr. Associated Negro Press. For the moral, social, economic, educational and political welfare of its members, a society is being formed at the National Capitol under the name of "The Grand Army of Americans," its membership to comprise the officers, soldiers and sailors of the World War, together with their sons and daughters. No lines of distinction of Race or color are to be drawn and the ramifications are to reach the entire United States. The opinion of Colonel Charles Young having been asked in regard to the problem, the following is his statement: "I do seem the venture an important and commandable one, but would suggest (1st) that the provision that includes "the sons and daughters" of officers and soldiers and sailors would weaken the prestige of the organization. Let them form a separate organization if they wish. (2nd) The word "political" should be understood to shut out party politics of all kinds and to include only the higher political aspects of Americanization, safe and sound policy in our external and internal relations, and reverence for law and order in a common country only. It is a dangerous word in any constitution. (3rd) I submit that overtures should first be made towards merging such an organization with the American Legion now being organized by Lt. Colonel Roosevelt, if possible. By so doing, we all working to a common end, presenting a more solid front to the difficulties and problems of this new day, may be better able to reach the goal of our ideals. In this regard I believe the opinion of a majority of American soldiery is now saying: "It was not simply for white humanity and for white freedom that the United States throw the sword into the balance with the Allies, but for us all irrespective of Race, color or condition. Let America be friendly and free." I counsel, for one, that a approachment with the larger organization be made if possible. In the 70,000 dead in the fields of France, black blood froody and generously mingled itself with the white. It is therefore unbelievable that surviving comrades should not honor these heroes by standing shoulder to shoulder for the principles for which they perished and for which the Almighty God has spared the living, both black and white." But there is yet a determinate group of whites, including several newspapers, all professing to be "without prejudice; and the 'best friends of the Negro,' who cling to the false theory and the musty, ancient belief that "this is a white man's country." The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, white daily, and the Macon (Ga.) Telegram, same. in recent editors' have sought to say that none but fools will say anything else, except this is a "white man's country," regardless of what we have done, in whole or in part, in peace or in war. It is ptery evident that much missionary work is yet to be done. Migration In three years more than one-half million Black people, men women and children have gone out of the South to various parts of the East and North, encouraged by economic conditions and rich promises. Now the tables have turned, and many Southern communities are in great need of labor, and some Northern communities, particularly, Coatesville, Pa., and latest Chicago, Ill., in another fashion are seeking to re-populate the South. Comes a large portion of the South, saying, "We need help, but, we don't want the 'inggers' back with their new fangled Northern ideas." Outside of a natural flow of people returning to visit relatives, and a few "homesickers" take it for unquestioned truth, the Black folk are not returning South. If there is industrial quietude in some localities, and there is further movement, it is further North and West, rather than SOUTH. DuBois, Moton and Scott "Contending forces" best describes the present state of affairs between W. E. B. DuBois, R. R. Moton and Emmett J. Scott, Dr. DuBois, with a wonderful vision of the ideal, has definite ideas of the pathway to travel in getting to the goal of success, justice and happiness. Dr. Moton, and Dr. Scott with equal vision, are "pressing on" in all seriousness with the hope of reaching the same goal. It will be many days and months, no doubt, before there will be "unity of action" with definite ends in view, and, hence, the two groups, will continue to defy or ignore criticism from each other, and go in their individual ways. James Reese Europe It has been proposed that a National Musical Memorial day be held to honor the memory of James Reese Europe, the same to be the first Sunday in June. At that time a patriotic memorial address would be delivered, and music for the occasion would be entirely the product of our composers. By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO III. May 28—The Chicago Association of Commerce has stirred up a veritable "hornets' nest" in its gratitud efforts to "furnish surplus Negro labor to Southern communities." It develops that there is a small compassion of plans, backed by Northern white men who have capital invested in the South, to get the black laborers South. As a matter of cold fact, there is a great demand for laborers in the South, and there is an increasing demand for laborers in the North, but the Race men are exercising careful judgment in deciding where they go, and only a small percentage care in the least to return South. Many of them are going North and West, but few South. In addition to this, as fast as they can get passports, thousands of foreigners are going back to their native lands abroad. So great has been this mand, for one reason and another; that Congress has been seized with requests to pass a law placing restrictions on emigration. All of this makes the Race man a most important factor in the economic situation. There is every reason to believe that, in the long run, he will fair far better because of the pressing demand for industrial workers in many fields.

Added Attraction "RUSTLING A BRIDE" 5 Part Western Comedy SUNDAY, JUNE 1st CLASSY SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE Noxelty, mixed with sympatria- tion and eccentricity is the order of the bill at the Booker Washington this week, and a classy show is the result. Pearl Moppin, a manipulator of hoops, opens the program. The way he makes the little rams perform on the stage at his bidding is rather uncanny. They twist, turn, parade, and drill in word and complete control. Mr. Moppin does many clever stunts with hoops and displays an art that is a distinct beauty here. Hightower and Jones, are a couple of dancers who mix a reel of comedy with their art. Their duo eccentric. "Buzing is a comical opener Hightower says, 'Everybody Wants a Key to My Celery' and Jones does a back dance that has about every step in the dance category and many new and original movements. The team closes dancing together Jenkins, a barbiesque war hero with as many phony medals and varied uniform as the fake 'Jerry' Johnson, is a real comical euss. His two songs, O Death Where Is Thy Sung" and "In the Land O Yuma Yuma" are both hits. The aides go over with a bang. Tim and cloak. Moore in their second week, go on singing their own comedy. The Suffrage." Tim, the victim, "sweeps a hard time." He is knotted and cuffed around, has to do all the house work, and can not even have a nickel to spend, not even dream he has one. He finally gets his running by discovering his militant wife's purse filled with the long green. He spends it for a chappy outfit, redesigns his bravado, and turns the tables on his mate. The act closes with her doing the scrubbing. Tim makes a big hit singing "Lord Have Mercy on a Married Man." UNCLE TOM'S CABIN NEXT WEEK AT THE B. Jim Moore assisted by his talented wife, will remain over next week, by request and present his burlesque on "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This playlet is the most criminal in his repertoire and was a host of fun when he presented it here about three years ago. Others on the bill will be Grant and Perkins, a sister team; Brown and Gray, a musical comedy duo; and Seymour James a humorous monologue. Jack Johnson Pictures. Scenes of Jack Johnson's Training in Old Mexico will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatre all next week beginning Monday. Johnson is training to challenge the winner of the Willard-Dempsey match for the heavyweight fistic championship of the world. "THE SMARTER SET" OPENS AT THE ODEON SUNDAY NIGHT No Colored organization has created such enthusiasm during the past few seasons as the "The Smarter Set" headed by the well known comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, and which will be the attraction booked at the Odeon Theatre for next week, starting Sunday night, June 1, with matinee Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. "The Smarter Set" will offer a new musical comedy success, entitled Darkest Americans in two acts and eight scenes, with special scenel effects and beautiful costuming. There is a sufficient amount of patriotism and military arbor injected into "Darkest Americans" to arouse sensational enthusiasm. The story of the play tells of Dean Kelly Miller of the Howard University at Washington, DC, going on an archeological research in the interest of his college.

HENRY DOBBS. Before an audience of music-lovers and scholars of music, Mr. Troy P. Gorum, formerly of this city but now of Boston, gave his second and final recital at St. Paul's Church, May 22. Mr. Gorum's opening number "Thank God for a Garden," revealed the young baritone as having arrived at a point of definite progress. His program ranged from such well-known authors as Del Riego, S. Coleridge Taylor, J. Rosamond Johnson, and closed with old-time Southern melodies by our well known composer, H. T. Burleigh. He was accompanied on the piano by Prof. Gerald Tyler. Mrs. Louise Anderson, who assisted, recited two numbers. The first was somewhat unavenue and her voice was so low and weak that she could scarcely be heard, but I'm glad to say she made good with the second number. She proved herself an actress of experienced skill, the skill in which every inflection of the voice and every motion is made to count. To the characterization she brought a sweet and winning personality, a versatile histrionic power that was effective both in innocent coquery and at the crisis of death, and a voice perfectly ductile to the varying callers of emotion. The audience was very attentive throughout the program and the participant received numerous and vigorous applause. Near the close of the program Mr. Gorum was presented by someone "unknown" with some beautiful roses. We certainly wish you, Mr. Gorum, much success in your musical career and all the happiness that goes with it. We feel that we were highly honored by one of our "own" and will assure you that you will always be received with open arms when you return.

J. Walker, the race has lost a most useful character: just a few years ego a washer-woman, and at the time of her death a millionaire, And while she succeeded in ac- cumulating a mass of fortune, yet she was charitable and gener- ous in her gifts to the less fortunate. She was a firm believer in the Divine law, “you receive’ by giving.”” The success which she made, with a simple remedy which ahe hersel£diseovered, is a challenge to the best brain and thought of any-race of today. She will be missed especially by those to whom ~gHe-had-been_such’\a noble benefactor. Her. living example has inspired thousands, her work is everlasting, and. her place in this world will not be filled. * ; THE LEAGUE OF NAT\ONS UNCOVERED . After many months of hinting and threatening, Senator Jamey: Reed of Missouri has come out flat-footed and told the world just what the trouble is with the so-called League of Nations. He has ‘exposed the “Nigger in the wood-pile.” He has admitted that the white race is trying to form #l:ague that will keep the colored race down. He hes appealed to the reason of the white people with. out avail, and now he is appealing to race prejudice, in carrying out his wishes. ‘ 3 * An appeal to racial prejudice is the Senator's trump card, and he expects that to’ win when everything else fails.” But one thing the learned statesman from Mo. has not observed about race prejudice: It asserts itself only when in power. It succeeds where “Might is Right.” : Senator Reed has reasoned that the darker races will surely retaliate the injustices and mistreatments that have been forced ‘upon them by the white race if ever the opportunity comes. We would suggest that if the Senator is alarmed, and wants a League that will bring everlestirg peace, the. thingto do is to bury race prejudice a3 quickly as possible, and advice President ‘Wilson to play his cards on top of the Peace Table, giving every man a square deal, and a square deal will come back to him: = - e ANTI-LYNCHING BILL * Congressman L.C. Dyer who represents the twelfth Con- gressional District of Missouri has, as he has done before intro- duced an Anti-Lyncking Bill in the present United States Congress. Mr. Dyer is a strong believer in. right and justice and a hard fighter for the principles in which he believes. We therefore have greater hope than ever for the success of the present bill because swe have a Republican majority in Conggess, and the recent great war has caused men to see things as never before along the lines of right and justice. Of~course this is not the first time during the thirty years reign of mob violence in this ceuntry that the Republican Party has been in power, but we do hope that they will see the error of the past and enter upon the present duties with the spirit of the Re- publican Party of Lincol, Grant, and the forefathers. The Colored people of this ‘country will rally to the support of the bill because our race is the principle victim of mob violence, and’all true Americans will support the bill as a rebuke of that spirit which is a menace to all good government. __ r = \[DEATHS of THE WEEK George Donor, 918 Elliot St........34 Jobn Wright, 1517 1-2 Lucas Ave..24 Martha Kendall, 613 Ewing Av....30 Geo.
