And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity?
Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence,
and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty?
Justice, O Judge of men!
Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead?
Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form
stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow
bitter forms of endless dead?
Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light,
thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and

hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust!

gestion, couched in prophetic words: "If the public schools will respond to the growing demand for a larger knowledge of the structure and work of the human frame we may confidently hope for the installation of competent dentists in the schoolroom, who may make examinations of the mouths of children and advise them as to the correction of pathological conditions that may exist. It would also afford a fruitful source for the collection of data upon a wide range of subjects, the importance of which cannot be overestimated."
Replying to Dr. Bentley, Dr. C. B. Rohland dissented, fearing that the public would not take kindly to dental examinations in public schools. Fortunately Dr. Rohland's fears were not well grounded. The public has taken kindly to public school dental examinations, and the spiritized work of the profession in this field is fully appreciated and approved by the masses. Two years later the Odontographic society, at the suggestion of Dr. Bentley, instituted an investigation into the condition of the mouths and teeth of the children of the public schools. One year later Dr. Bentley submitted his report, which was the basis of future

between classes educated in separate schools? The division of classes, or races, if you please, in so called public schools is not only unfair to the tax payer, white and colored alike, because it is bound in due season to increase their burdens, but it also gives an impetus to race prejudices.
More Prejudice Where Schools Separate.
The intelligent colored citizen travels and observes, that in every city where the separate school system is in vogue, race hatred has grown apace.
Doubtless intelligent white citizens know this to be true and are anxious to do everything in their power to encourage the growth of race hatred, hence are desirous of adding any feature in the public school curriculum that tends toward that end.
Leads to Degrading of Colored Curriculum.
Whether or not the system begun in this city in 1881, when the law enforcing the creation of mixed schools was passed, has been a success or failure after an experiment of a quarter of a century seems not to be the question, but rather it seems to be the thought of the school authorities to fit the colored boy and girl for work, as they now exceedingly difficult it is for the colored youth after graduation to obtain, in the case of trade, such occupational relation to so cleft as will give them a chance to earn a livelihood.

Chicago.—One of the most striking figures at the recent golden anniversary of the Illinois Dental society, held at Hotel La Salle in this city, was Dr. Charles E. Bentley, who has by his ability and skill as a practitioner won a place in the front ranks of his profession. Born in Ohio and educated in the public schools, intermediate and high, of his native city, Cincinnati, Dr. Bentley moved to Chicago, where he completed his education at Northwestern university and was graduated in 1887 from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery with the degree of doctor of dental surgery.
He at once entered upon the practice of his profession in his new home, giving all of his spare time to his studies and experiments. He soon became so proficient that his fame spread abroad, and patients came from near and far to get the benefit of his skillful manipulations. He was one of the first dentists to use hypnotic suggestion for the alleviation of pain, and this added greatly to his success.
At the meeting of the Illinois Dental society held in 1896 Dr. Bentley read a paper on "New Outlooks In Dentistry," in which he made the following sur-
At the Thomas Durham Public School, Sixteenth and Lombard streets the largest segregated school in this city, it has been definitely settled that the introduction of vocational training for at least 400 of the 1200 pupils that attend that school will begin next January. If the experiment succeeds a similar course will in all probability for in each of the 14 separate schools throughout the city.
Majority of Colored See Whites Are Increasing the Separate System.
While the gradual return of the distinctive segregated schools in this city seems inevitable, there seems to be a growing sentiment, nevertheless, the part of a large majority of colored citizens in opposition to the continual growth.
Blow at Higher Education in North.
THEY VIEW IT WITH ALARM and many regard the proposed innovation of vocational training as a direct blow at the aspiration for higher education and a more general acceptance by the University of Dr. Booker T. Washington's idea that industrial education is best for at least the next century.
The intelligent people of color know that separate schools are breeders of race prejudice; that such schools serve to create a spirit of disrespect in the mind of one class for the other.
The question is asked and even now awaits an answer. How may one foster the spirit of genuine good will

A city lay in travail, God our Lord, and from her loins sprang twin Murder and Black Hate. Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance!
Bend us Thine ear, O Lord!

Behold this maimed and broken thing; dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil.

work along this line, and today dental examinations are being made in nearly all of the public schools of the country. If priority of action counts for anything Dr. Bentley is the father of oral hygiene, which nowadays claims so much public and professional attention. The Odontographic society of Chicago was organized by Dr. Bentley in 1888, and he was elected its first president. In 1903 the society gave what was practically a great dental congress. There were 3,000 members of the profession and 1,000 dental students in attendance. The real soul of the great gathering was Dr. C. E. Bentley, who by his devotion and painstaking efforts made it a success. He has been a liberal contributor to the literature of both medicine and dentistry, and his papers, which have been read before state, national and international dental societies, have always merited the highest praise. Dr. Bentley is one of the few dentists who have been successful in the treatment of pyorrhea, the most difficult affection with which the profession has to contend. The manipulation of the instruments requires the greatest manual dexterity and delicate
THE SOUT
TH
THE SOUTH
J. G. Woodward, mayor of Attica, Ga., speaking what was on his mind at the Dixie day celebration of the San Francisco exposition, gave expression to the identical thought that we knew would prevail in the state which permitted the murder of Leo M. Frank.
Mr. Woodward, exalted by the knowledge that the freemen of his commonwealth had arisen against the authority of the commonwealth gave his approval to the act. He spoke as we expect misguided southerners to speak. They have more rhapsody for southern blood and the sanctity of southern women than would be needed by a nation of Don Quixotes, but they thoroughly lack the idealism and the continence of the Spanish don whose language they feebly imitate.
He meant what he said. They are content to talk about it. The north, where it is more ordered ways and its faulty but better civilization, thinks more and talks less of the sanctity of women than the rhetorical south. What the South needs is less rhetoric and more work.
Southerners already have protested that The Tribune is vindictive and intellett, unjust and malignant in its abuse of a whole section of the country for the work of twenty-five men. The answer is that the work of the twenty-five has the approval of the voting and controlling populace. The answer is that the twenty-five did

what the people of Georgia and the people of the South wanted done, and did what the people of the South tolerate, defend, and advocate.
The South needs to feel that its code of conduct is so primitive and so brutal that it has involved the whole country in disrepute. It has made the American nation stand in world opinion for inhuman burning of convicted or suspected persons, for passions which cannot find expression nowadays among savages.
The South needs a brutal, uncompromising, even unjust denunciation. It needs one which will not even consider the South's tremendous limitations. It needs one which will not stop to weigh and take account of causes, but which will go directly to the results and treat those results as if they had no explicable cause.
What the South needs is a tongue lashming and punished tongue lashing of the most violent kind. It needs to feel isolated from the respect of the nation which is compromised by the acts it defends.
We do not say that the North is free from the spirit which dares up in the South. We know it is not free. The North is able to show an act of violence for every one exhibited in the South, but the North does not condene them nor defend them, and it does endeavor to get at the causes which produce them.
The South needs every bitter word
his patients many of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of the country and is one of the dozen or so Chicago dentists who count their annual incomes in five figures.
In late years Dr. Bentley has attained great prominence in civic affairs, and his advice is eagerly sought by those who are endeavoring to better the conditions of humanity in general. For more than twenty years he has been secretary of Provident hospital. He was first president of the Equal Opportunity league of Chicago. He is a charter member of the directorate of the National Association For the Advancement of the Colored People, an organization which includes some of the most prominent people of the country in its membership. He has the gift of oratory and is a forceful, logical and convincing speaker.
In 1898 Dr. Bentley was married to Miss Florence Lewis, who was for many years the literary editor of the Philadelphia Daily Press, a woman of rare attainments, and their married life has been very happy. In October, 1914, Dr. Bentley, at the special invitation of the Winnebago County (III.) Dental so
which can be said against it. It needs to know that when it parades the sanctity of its women it is making a display of something the rest of the nation assumes and holds too high to spend useless words upon. Action, not eloquence, is demanded of the South.
The need is that it feel its disgrace and correct so far as is humanly possible the causes of bad government and of bad thought which are expressed in the conditions it tolerates. We are not ignoring the great problem which it has in the Negro. We simply assert that the South has permitted its problem to work out to the utter confusion of its governmental agencies and the confusion of its political thought.
It must, if it is to rehabilitate and regenerate itself, correct its opinion and stop exhausting itself in rhetoric by act. It must put community lawfulness superior to individual lawlessness.
It is a concern of the nation that the southern states should re-establish themselves as respected units in a union. And if nothing but abuse can bring them to a realization that their ways are unworthy of their traditions and of the history of the American regimen then the abuse ought to be given them the tongue of the abuser is tired, even if the abuser titles of the abused cannot be hurt and the sense of the abused aroused.
IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering. Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing?
Ah! Christ of all the Pittes!
Forgive the thought! Forgive these wild, blasphemous words. Thou art still the God of our black fathers, and in Thy soul's soul sit some soft darkenings of the evening, some shadowings of the velvet night.
But whisper—speak—call, great God, for Thy silence is white terror to our hearts! The way, O God, show us the way and point us the path.
Whither? North is greed and South is blood; within, the coward, and without, the liar. Whither? To death?
Amen! Welcome dark sleep!
Whither? To life? But not this life, dear God, not this. Let the cup pass from us, tempt us not beyond our strength, for there is that clamoring and clawing within, to whose voice we would not listen, yet shudder lest we must, and it is red, Ah! God! It is a red and awfol shape.

Dr. Bentley's new dental offices are located in the Marshall Field building, overlooking Lake Michigan, where on clear days one may look across the lake to the Michigan and Indiana shores. The dental appliances in the offices are complete in every detail. A man of learning, polished in manner, having entree to the highest social circles and being in touch with many people of great influence, he has been able to do effective work in fighting prejudice against the colored people. Single handed and alone he has nipped many obnoxious schemes in the bud. Many wrongs have been righted effectively, but quietly and without any brass band accompaniment. When anything great in the repression of race prejudice has been accomplished in Illinois and people are wondering how it was done the chances are ten to one that Dr. Bentley is the man who did it.

ored dentist, but a great American dentist. His success has not been circumscribed by lines of color. He thinks American, feels American, acts American and demands and receives treatment as an American. He believes that all men born in America are Americans and is opposed to the use of the word "Negro" to describe the colored people of the country. He is convinced that it is not logical and its use is imical to the welfare of the republic. He looks forward to the day when there will be no German-Americans or French-Americans or Italian-Americans or Afro-Americans or any other hyphenated variety and when all racial distinctions shall have disappeared. When the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was organized it was largely due to his efforts that the word "Negro" was not made a part of the official title of the organization. His career should be an inspiration to every colored youth. It teaches the lesson that it is not necessary, that it is even shortsighted and, to limit one's activities to the boundaries of the color line. It proves that there are no barriers which study, determination, constant effort, ability and skill will not batter down.

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
@HAME.
‘The recent lynching of Leo Frank,
a Jew, in Georgia, has aroused the
country more than the murders of
thousands of colored people in the
South during the past twenty years.
But only nine years have passed
since Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene
of one of the most uncalled for and
Vloodiest riots ever recorded in his-
tory. Colored men and women were
ruthlessly slaughtered because of race
hatred; not a single one killed had
deen guilty of any crime whatever.
‘The massacre was caused by the in-
cendiary editorials of the Atlanta
News and Journal, owned by Hoke
‘Smith, since Governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state,
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit-
ing the Caucasians against colored peo-
ple and demanding that the race be
distranchised.
Senator Hoke Smith is sald to be
the author of the jim crow policy of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, Het.
Win and nearly every Southerner in
Congress.

CHARITY MAKE=s COWARDS.

of Colorado mine field tame, recently.

and endeavor to perpetuate their
names by giving money for libraries
or “charities,” or Christian (7) asso-

Instead of being great philanthopists,
these men, in many cases, are simply
thieves who really ought to be in
prison for having robbed their fellow
men.

Great God deliver. the people trom

It is the consensus of opinion of the
leading thinkers of the world that
there should be no illegitimate chil-
dren, that is, that babies should be
declared legitimate by the state,
even if born out of wedlock.
A new law was recently passed by
‘Norway, giving the so-called illegiti-
mate child a right to his father’s name,
‘The expenses of its rearing are dl-
vided between fathei and mother in
Proportion to their ability to pay, the
basis to be the financial status of the
wealthier parent. And the illegitimate
Norwegian child is an helr to the
father’s property and on equal terms
with the children born in marriage.
Nature knows nothing of illegit-
imacy; she cares naught for marriage
certificates and there is no resson
why the innocent babe should be de-
graded and ostracized because of the
sins of its parents.
Such a law would be especially valu-
able in the South where wealthy Cau-
casians are the fathers and mothers
of many children of colored women
and men. The equal inheritance feat-
ure would give to thousands of colored
children their just share in many
great estates and would also give them
their proper social status.
‘THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN.
| Oswald Garrison Villard’s recent
Speech against hyphenated American.
ism was a telling one.
‘Mr. Villard was himself born on
German soil and of a German father,
yet he is amazed at the divided citt
zenship of some Americans of German
ancestry.
He referred to Carl Schurz, and his
true Americanism and sald “What
would amaze him more than to find
unnumbered Germans who, Ike him-
self, come to this country to escape
the very militaristic autocracy they
now uphold, today, denouncing the
nation that adopted and sheltered
and fed and clothed them.”
Other races have shown strong
tendencles to form distinct bodies,
Mr. Villard said, but the German
Propaganda is, so far, the most ex-
tensive.
He then asked it it were true, as
contended, that. the German Kultur
jand political system were superior to
the scheme of- life and government
in America, why the hordes who have
foc here did not go to Germany
instead.
Mr, Villard said, that to allow na.
tionalistie groups to develop in this
country such as they have in Austria
Hungary would be most disastrous.
He said, such a proposal was “un.
thinkable to a true minded American.”
For many year it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is a growing ten-
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as allens. This 1s
being, encouraged by a class of lead-
jers who call theméelves “Negroes”
and yell about “Negro Kultur” al
though they have not more than half
and often ess than one-eighth of
Negro blood. Such men ought to
stop the “Negro” propaganda and be
Americans and demand justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
“Negroes.”
They should not have any rights: as
“Negroes” but every right of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them, it they fight. for
their rights as American citizens by
right of birth.
- THANKS, GOV. WILLIS.
Gov. Frank Willis of Ohio, deserves
the thanks of the colored people of
the country for ordering the State
Medical Board to abolish the require-
ment that applicants for Ncénses to
practice certain branches of surgery
must state whether they are “white”
of “colored” ang furnish photographs.
The plan of compelling applicants
to furnish photographs was put into
the national civil service rules to
hinder the appointment of colored
People and Jews to places in the gov-
ernment service, even after they had
passed the required tests, Prejudiced
heads of bureaus look at the photos
and if it 19 apparent that the appll
cant belongs to either of the pros
cribed classes he is promptly rejected.
The citizens of this country are
Americans and that one word ought to
be a suffleent description under any
and all circumstances and neither the
national nor state governments have
any right to inquire whether he is
white, colored, redheaded, baldheaded
or pigeontoed, or whether he has
corns on his feet or a wart on his
nose.
TINSEL CHIVALRY.
‘The Southern Caucasians are con-
tinually yelling about their chivalrous
regard for women and their determin:
ation to protect females from assaults
ete., but in view of many happenings
in the Southland it is evident, that
that thelr chivalry fs of the tinsel
variety.
Last year a Caucasian went into the
home of a respectable colored woman
in Wagoner, Okla, and attempted to
assault her, but was shot by the
woman before he succeeded. When
the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of
the happening, the colored woman
who killed the white man in protect:
ing her virtue was lynched by an
“orderly mob of the best citizens.”
In another Southern state recently,
@ colored man was walking along the
street with his sweetheart when a
white man made an insulting remari
about her. The colored man promptly
killed the white man and a few hours
later he was lynched by a mob of
“leading citizens.”
The chivalrous men of Georgia have
allowed a law fixing the age of consent
for girls 10 years, to stand upon the
statute boks, and in nearly every
Southern state it is lower than it
ought to be.
The Southern boast about defending
the honor of women is a LIB. South-
ern chivalry is tinsel.

CONDONING.COLORED CURS,
THE APPEAL approves of every
}word of the reprinted editorial from
the Chicago ‘Tribune and wishes to
add a few words of excoriation of the
contemptible colored curs who contin-
ually praise the southern people and
condone many of their infamous acts.
It is not only contemptible but crim-
inal. The extension of race prejudice
in the North has been greatly aided
by these fends in human form who
have been paid in cash or the appella-
tion of “good negro” to laud the brut-
al, barbarous, unhuman, unchristian
un-American South.
When the Georgia senate recently
passed a Jaw forbidding white persons
to teach colored pupils some of these
human skunks rushed into print to de-
fend the action, saying that it would
benefit the colored man.
‘The white Georgians who burn and
hang and legislate against their col-
ored fellow citizens are saints when
compared with, colored men who con-
done thelr crimes.

the title of a pamphlet gotten out by
the United States Census Bureau. The

473 real Africans in the United States,
according to the Census, that is Ne-
, Sroes born in Africa.
"It is wrong, unjust and un-American
for the government to segregate its
clerks by color in the Departments
in Washington, and it is also wrong, un-|
Just and un-American for the govern-
ment to issue a separate and inaccu-
rate Census Bulletin as it has done in
the case of the bulletin, “Negroes in
the United States.”
The United States assumes that a
Sroup of about 10,000,000 people are
Negroes and proceeds to so classity
them. More than ninety-nine per cent
of the persons so classified were born
in America of American parents, and
thelr parents were Americans and so

Senerations is not an American, who

generations, why should a person of
any other color born in this country
fail to “arrive” in the same space of
time?
The name “Negro” applied to a
Sroup of citizens in this country is in-
accurate, because it does not include
forty or fifty million other Americans
who have more or less Negro blood.
The expression “pure race” is amyth

MY DUTY TO ELEVATE, NOT DEGRADE,
Says Hon. William Hale Thompson, Mayor Chicago, When Appoint-
ing Colored Men to Places in His Cabinet—A
Presidential Paccithility
William Hale Thompson, mayor of
Chicago, has made a great name for
himself’ by ignoring racial lines and
giving the colored people representa:
tion in the city offices.
At a recent crowded meeting in Chi:
cago he told why he did it
‘The mayor had a written address to
deliver, He tried to deliver it, but the
hum cf the assembled crowd’ discour
aged him, So after reading about a
third of the speech he tossed it to one
side and concluded:
“I could read the rest of this speech
to you few in the front rows, and the
rest of you could read parts of it’ to:
morrow morning in the newpsapers,
to which I have sent copies. But I
won't finish.
“Let me repeat that I am proud to
be here, and let me add these words:
Iam asked why I have appointed col-
ored men 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 selecte
to fil,
“2, Because, in the name of human
ity, it is my duty to do what I cant
elevate rather than degrade any class
of American citizens.
“2. Because during the pre-election
campaign I gave you my word that, i
elected, I would give you a. square
deal, and Bill Thompson keeps his
word.”
Mr. Carey Talks.
The subject of the mayor's appoint
ments to office was introduced by the
Rey. A. J. Carey, who presided and
Presented Mr. Thompson.
“The colored people,” Mr. Carey
sald, “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 descend-
ants of a race once enslaved but for
American citizens who have earned
their position,”
Cheers interrupted the speaker.
‘On the Way to Washington,
“William Hale Thompson may not
be elected president in 1916,” he
went on, “but I'm sure he will’ be in
1920. I helped elect him alderman; I
helped elect him county commission-
er; I helped elect him mayor. And
my work will not be complete until I
have helped elect him president.”
Then the storm broke and the
crowd went wild.
In his speech, among other things
Mayor Thompson said:
“I kmow that in some quarters I
have been criticized severely for ap-
pointing a few representative colored
citizens to positions of honor, and
trust, and dignity. Iam glad to take
the full responsibililty and the honor
of making every one of these appoint-
ments, 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 fraiities of the col-
ered man and too little publicity is
given his genius and skill,

after column of sickening detail of
erime or misdemeanor committed by

Prejudice which throws all sorts of
obstacies in the path of advancement,
“It is considered presumptuous for
an individual of the colored. people
to aspire to any employment other
than mental tasks, and there have
been recent instances where even
your right to be considered among
the laborers in this city has been chal-
Ienged.
“Not long ago, expressions such as
this were ‘common: ‘Why, what do
you think? ‘The mayor has put some
‘niggers’ to work out at the garbage
plant!’ Just as though colored men
are not to be considered human be-
ings.
| What of His Critics?
“Criticism such as those enumer-
ated are un-American and have no
place in this land of freedom and op.
Dortunity. ‘It inquiry were made con-
cerning the nativity of these critics,
it would probably be found that a
number of them had come, or their
immediate ancestors had come, to this
country to escape tyranny and’ oppres-
sion in some foreign land and to find
opportunity in this land of the free,
and, having found it, would shut the
‘door in the faces. of ‘others.
“It ig easy to understand the atti.

justify the questionable acts of their

On Thursday evening Oct. 21, the King's Daughters Charity Club will give a house party at the residence of Mrs. LaBelle Jackson, 427 Rondo street. A light lunch will be served, also a variety of dainties. Every person is invited to attend and spend an enjoyable evening. No admission fee. Mrs. Estella Green, committee of arrangements.
There will be a Special Dinner given at Young's Cafe next Thursday after the regular dinner beginning at 4:00 p. m. The menu will include: Celery, pickles, olives, soup, chicken with dumplings, rice, sweet and white potatoes, combination salad, pie, watermelon, tea, coffee, milk, all for 35 cents. You cannot afford to miss this epicurean feast. You are invited.

"BEAUTY, YOUTH AND FOLLY."
The Attraction at the Star Theatre
Next Week.
The management of the Star Theatre
takes pleasure in announcing that
"Blutch" Cooper will present his
"Beauty, Youth and Folly" company
at that house commencing with the
mathe performance on Sunday, Oct.
10. The engagement is for one week
only with a matinee and evening
performance daily.
This season the organization, which incidentally is one of the biggest and brightest on tour, is presenting three distinct types of entertainment, the whole furnishing two and one-half hours of solid merriment. The opening act is a merry musical offering entitled "A Night on a Roof Garden" which is likened to a page from the book of night life on Broadway, with just as much gold and glitter as is to be found along The Gay White Way. This is followed in turn by an all-star olio of vaudeville and as a concluding piece where is a special scenic burletta where he bears the titles of "Oh You Seahouse."
There is a singing and dancing chorus whose principal assets are beauty and youth as well as ability, and the production has been most lavishly staged in the matter of scenic settings and costumes.
RACE PRIDE
When I am dead,
Write not above my grave:
"He was a Christian man, and gave
Of his scant store to feed the poor."
"And paid his tithes and loved his
neighbor well."
For these things be of God and He
will tell.
Me what my blessings are.
When I stand before his judgment
bar.
But write instead—and plainly I implore:
"Here lies a Race Man," just that,
nothing more.
From o'er the pallisade
Of heaven's harborage.
My soul, after a thousand years will
see.
A race new-born in Freedom's sanc-
tity.
Esteeming one who, long before his
age.
Boasted of Negro blood and parent
age.

THE CONTENANTAL LEADS
Other Health and Accident Companies Follow.
You know what it means when somebody tells you, that this, that or the other health and accident policy is "as good as the Continental Casualty Company"—it may be you feel like arguing the matter but—there's never any doubt about the Continental Casualty Company's policy.
It was the first company to write complete protection policies, the first to employ colored agents, and has kept pace with the country; it is the largest of all health and accident companies and is the only one that operates in every state in the union.
During the year 1914 the Continental collected, approximately, twice the amount of premiums, in the State of Minnesota, as its nearest competitor, and out in claims more money than any other company collected in premiums.
This large volume of business enables the continental Casualty Company to offer its customers better protection for a little less money than any of its competitors.
We want your business. May we not talk it over with you?

JOSEPH L. JONES EXPLAINS
Noted Business Man Denies Claims of Man Mentioned Below.
A man of the name of W. H. Jones, whose residence number is given as 267 South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, asserts that he is the twin brother of Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the Central Regalia company, Eighth and Plum streets, Cincinnati, and that he owns a half interest in the Central Regalia company. The Jones referred to also says that he is the son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Wilberforce, O. and that the Hon. James H. Needham, grand secretary of the Odd Fellows, is his uncle.
Mr. Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the Regalia company, says he has neither brother nor sister. This man Jones is said to have been very active of late taking orders for the Central Regalia company. He has canvassed, it is said, in North and South Carolina, and during the latter part of September he was seen in Georgia. Joseph L. Jones, Bishop Joshua H. Jones and Mr. J. H. Needham say they do not know any such man nor have they any relative by that name or any one who owns a half interest in the business of Joseph L. Jones.
Messrs. Joseph L. Jones, Bishop J. H. Jones and Mr. J. H. Needham are very anxious to locate the man who makes such business and family claims as are alleged by the W. H. Jones referred to in this article. Joseph L. Jones is the chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association, editor of the Fraternal Monitor and vice supreme chancellor of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias.
Lincoln Jubilee Celebration Closes.
The Lincoln jubilee celebration, which closed at the Coliseum in Chicago Thursday, Sept. 16, was a great success in almost every particular. That it was attended daily by throngs of people may be seen from the amount received for admission during the four weeks in which it was held. The receipts as given by those in authority amount to $13,000. On Wednesday, Sept. 15, the day Mayor Thompson visited the exposition and delivered an address, 5,480 persons attended, paying the sum of 25 cents admission.

MINNESOTA PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
The Minnesota Public Health Association announces that its membership is open to all citizens interested.
Anyone who is concerned about his own health, that if his neighbor, or that of this state as if a whole, should take advantage of this opportunity. Weekly public health letters and various pamphlets will be sent to every member.
"Minnesota the Healthiest State in the Union" is the slogan. Knowledge concerning disease and its prevention must be disseminated widely. The health and deficiency of this state depends directly upon the health and happiness of the individual citizen
Do you know, Mr. Citizen, that for your present haphaward way of preventing disease you are paying directly or indirectly, a tax greater than the war tax of a foreign citizen? Consequently, you should realize that it is not only an opportunity, but a duty to become informed and to spread this information to less fortunate neighbors. Knowledge will enable you to do your share in Minnesota's great battle against preventable disease and death.
Information will be sent to anyone who sends his or her name and address to the Minnesota Public Health Association, Old Capitol, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The Association's new year begins July the first. As new mailing lists send your name in at once. Simply address: Minnesota Public Health Association, Old Capitol, St. Paul, Minn

The End of a Perfect Day
Eventide is one of the sweetest words in our language. To the laborer it means relief from the day's toil; to the man of affairs it means respite from the keen strife of business. It means the return to that haven of rest—the home.
To the housewife it means her hour of triumph when she may gather around her those for whom she has made home a place of contentment. The evening meal is to her an occasion of cheer. How well she has planned if a part of that meal is a bottle of
