The Wisconsin V ly Blade BeBloit, Wis. Special to the Blade:—Undoubtedly the greatest social event of the season will be that of the Baby and Children Contest, March 15th, at Booth's Hal Grand Ave. Already the young and grown up people are inspecting their wardrobes grooming their handsome gown for the affair. They will be in Beloit from Rockford on the south and Madison on the north, even from far away Milwaukee to witness this gigantic and auspicious festival. The children who are always a busy and interesting set, are leaving no stone unturned to mass a large number of votes; parents and admiring friends are lining up everybody they can in behalf of their choice. To enhance the joy and pleasure of the occasion. The program committee have arranged some interesting numbers.

To assure fair play, comfort and business dispatch, four judges will be on hand, plenty of ushers, doorkeepers, and matrons. Several bankers are expectde, one of who will give a talk on "Thrift." "This day of days and time of times" will mark a great stride in social, educational and religious life of the city. At the reception of the G. A. R. on the 22nd. inst Mr. Cowan and his singers acquitted themselves with credit to a large appreciative audience. The friends of the Misses Stevens and McNeal mourn and sympathize deeply with them in this their hour of trial, the illness of their little ones. At the close of the evening service at the Baptist Mission last Sunday, three young men, Messrs.

Harry Petty, who was shot and killed Dec. 2, 1916, by a man who was assisting the city marshall to find another man, who had a fight and had got away. It was about 8 o'clock at night and they saw Bro. Petty who on his way to the hall, to attend to some of his official duties, they shot and killed him they say, in self defence. He was shot in the back, which shows that he must have been going from them. The coroners jury exhorated them, but "the mill of time grinds slow but exceedingly fine." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap." On the 25th of Feb. our links were again broken by the death of Bro. Charley Lauder. Bro. Charley Lauder was born at Hopkinsville, Ky., Jan. 17, 1837 and died at Brookport, Ill., Feb. 25, 1917, age 80 years, 1 mo. 8 days. He was the oldest Oddfellow in this part of the state, being lovevd and respected by all who knew him.

July 11, 1901 of which he was a faithful member until his death, always on time, willing and ready to do all he could for the promotion of the lodge and order. He was born in the days of slavery and could not read or write; yet he was a bureau of practical information. Was a member of the order about 44 years and a member of this lodge about 16 years. He was our W. T. which office he held about 8 yrs., having attended the lodge on the 22nd. He had been in declining health for some time, was active in discharging his duties punctually and faithfully. His seat in the lodge is vacacnt and his place can never be filled. He leaves a wife, one sister, one brother in St. Louis, Mo., one son in Chester, Ill., two daughters, one in Terre Haute and one in Evansville, Ind., and a host of friends to mourn his loss. By his death, the wife has lost a loving husband, the children a kind father, the lodge a faithful member and the community a loyal citizen. mighty God in His allwise providence mighty God in His alwise providence, to take from our midst, our beloved brother who had dedicated his life to F. L. & T., we bow our hearts in humble submission to the will of Him that doth all things well. Whereas we feel, that while our links have been broken, we know that God in His allwise providence doth all things for the best.

In many of the small villages, the citizens get hold of a stranger and figure him to be a labor or immigration agent. Some go so far as to offer the $2.00 transportation fee. As a rule most of them are ready and anxious to go north. About eight out of every ten families are packed and ready to go north, as soon as warm weather will permit. Among them may be found, some of our best citizens and property owners. The effect is telling and has already been felt. The white people seem to be ready to offer better treatment to the negroes. However some of our people are taking no chance but are leaving every day. The minister or public speaker can always get an audience if he is going to speak on immigration. A deal is said in the papers about our people freezing to death and it is true. I am aware of one case, where a man had part of his feet bitten off. He came home and in three days left with twenty others for the north. ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF ESCAMBIA CO., ALA. FLOMATON BREWTON.

We present to our thousands of readers the likeness of a young man who has forged his way to the front from and through many obstacles. He was born in Elmore Co. Ala., August 3rd, 1880. At the tender age of three years he was bereaved of his father. After completing the courses offered by the school of the county, Mr. Knight at the age of sixteen entered Tuskegee, Institute where his thirst for Industrial education was quenched and a foundation for a business career, solidly laid. In the work of the late Dr. Washington entitled, "The Life and Work of B. T. Washington" the face of this young man may be seen amid a group of students. For some years after leaving this institution, Mr. Knight conducted successful business in Chicago, Ill. More recently he has been a prominent figure in the Commercial tailoring world. His life is an open book, read and observed by all men, for straight forward, honest dealing. Such deportment has recommended him to all associates. At present he is residing in Beloit, Wis., where he takes a prominent part in the business, social and religious life of the community. From time to time we let our readers hear of this progressive young man. C. J. F. MILWAUKEE, WIS. Mrs. G. E. MacFarlan, Miss Viola Dale and Mrs. G. J. Fox, were at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday to hear the Tuskegee singers. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley F. Dale, 617 Cherry street, last Tuesday evening and left a charming baby girl. Baby and mother are doing nicely, who are under the care of a special trained nurse. Miss Viola Dale has accepted a fine position at Rice's Cafe, Second St. This is a new cafe and one of the very finest in the city. Mrs. G. J. Fox has been somewhat indisposed for a few days. There will be a brilliant dramatic parlor play given by some of Milwaukee's popular young ladies in the near future. Mr. W. W. MacFarlan had some distinguished visitors Sunday in honor of his birthday. The Wisconsin Weekly Blade A National Journal of Opinion and Circulation.

Assemblyman Carl Hanson complains that he saw only $.95 worth plains that he saw only $4.95 worth girls at the Junior Prom. What did he expect? Some people are very hard to satisfy. We are curious to know why the President ordered all United States citizens out of Mexico at the beginning of the revolution, and yet insists upon their right to travel on British ships for which it is known that German U-boats are waiting on the high sens. The food situation in this country has reached a point where it has become a national disgrace. It is, to say the least, passing strange, that the grandest and most progressive republic of history, while at peace with the entire world, should find it impossible to supply the bare necessities in sufficient quantities for its own citizens, and yet be able to supply the needs of war-wrecked Europe.

The Municipal Court of Dane County, in the case of The State vs. Andrew Mehlas, has decided that he cannot, and this decision will be hailed by all fair minded and lawabiding citizens as just and proper. It is in accord with the best public sentiment, with the 'decisions' of the State Supreme Court, with the laws of the state and with the constitution of the United States. With whatever may be Andrew's private opinion of these authorities, we are but little concerned. This decision should not be taken as a victory for the prosecuting witness, nor for the race to which he belongs, but rather as a victory for law and good order—a vindication of the high ideals and principles upon which this old commonwealth is founded. We are advised that the defendant is a Greek and the prosecuting witness an American citizen. If true, thi sfact should be so highly prized that the mere declaration: "I am an American citizen" should serve as a guarantee of distinguished consideration. The Judge and the District Attorney are to be commended for their fair and just consideration of the case, and the people of Dane County congratulated upon having such fearless and uncompromising officers. PASTOR STORMED. Editor Blade:— Please allow me *x* few words through your valuable paper, to thank the many friends, who on last Thursday night invaded my little home, at 148 W. Johnson St. I wish to say it was a complete surprise: was flanked on all sides, and as a matter of fact was forced to capitulate. Stubberness on my part would have meant only sacrifice, famine and hunger: therefore I thought it a part of wisdom to yield to the overwhelming odds against me. But when the smoke and fury of the hour had vanished, I beheld a band of smiling friends, whose faces bore the expression of peace, good will and confidence in their pastor. They carried in their hands, tokens that answered for the silent words of their hearts, then I could only say, Lord make me worthy. Language fails me to express in words, how thankful my wife and I am, to this kind and generous host of gentlemen, ladies, christians and friends. Indeed the high cost of living has been solved in this particular case. Packages of flour, sugar, meal and canned gloys lay upon the table, as plenteous as the old-time southern sweet potato pile; also a nice purse of Uncle Sam's legal tender. May the good Lord enable them to repeat this again in the near future. God bless them. Thanks. Thanks. GOVERNOR STANLEY IS FIRM. He Stands For Protection of Every Citizen. Regardless of Color. New York - John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper man of New York, has received the following letter from Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky, which explains itself: "John E. Bruce, New York City; "Dear Sir—Your kind and valued favor of recent date to hand. The constitution and laws of this state were alike ordained for the protection of every citizen in his life, his liberty and his property. No man should be denied their complete enjoyment on account of his wealth or his poverty, his creed or his color. If the law makes no such distinction a mob should not be permitted to do so or to overthrow established institutions, trample the law under foot and to wreak its vengeance according to its prejudice or its wrath. "As long as I am governor of Kentucky I shall continue in the future, as in the past, to see that, so far as it within me lies, the law is rigorously enforced and that no man shall suffer save for crime committed and then only after his guilt has been established by an impartial and authorized tribunal.

TRUHE All communications must be signed Name will not be published unless desired ESSENTIALS TO THE MAIN- TAINING OF AN AUTOMOBILE M By Mr. H. B. Kinner. Sometime ago I wrote a few hits on operation of automobiles. At this writing I am enduring to give a few suggestion on the maintaining of the motor car. Since automobiles have become so numerous, we feel that it would be a matter of impossibility to navigate without them. You may know as well as I that if we attempted to give up our speedy vehicles, time would seem to pass dreadfully slow and since they are here to stay, we want to know how to keep them to the best advantage. As a rule the beginning of all things is simple. This applies also to the motor car because the first thing or the beginning of it as far as the motor is concerned is the operation which is very simple and easy to learn, but as we go deeper into the study of the machinery we find it somewhat difficult and complicated. I am always willing to lend a helping hand to chaffeurs when I am able. I do not claim to be an expert or anything near it, but I feel that what I have learned may help others. Now, in order to maintain a car in good shape it will require a good many things. Following are a few hints that may be of help to you. Never be afraid to tell what you know about the automobile, the field is very large and there is room enough for all. Engine trouble often arises from one of the several instruments attached to the motor that sometimes becomes displaced, because of the tremendous vibration they suffer when the motor is raced or running at high speed, therefore it is important that chaffeurs should learn how to adjust these several points. Engine trouble is bound to come, but it can be often avoided by prompt attention Tampering with the motor too much when it is not needed, will do more harm than good. One should always remember that oil and water are more important by far than gasoline, because if gasoline runs out the car will stop without doing any damage whatever, but if you run out of oil or water it may cause serious damage to the motor before you find it out. It is very essential to keep every part well lubricated where friction is created by the use of some brake or pedal. You will now note a few of the more common engine troubles. Irregular action of the motor is often caused from gas mixture too weak or too rich, cracked spark plug, insulation wire broken, defective battery connection, water in gasoline of carburetor, poor contract in timer, leak or a loose connection in manifold spark coil vibrator improperly adjusted, faulty ignition, damaged or loose terminal on coil. You will notice here where the same thing is at fault in various troubles. Things that will cause the motor to stop suddenly:—lack of gasoline, spark cord trember stuck, lack of lubrication trouble in timer, broken or disconnected electric wires Inability to start engine may be due to: gas mixture too rich or too weak, open battery switch, gasoline supply shut off, poor compression, water in gasoline or carburetor or water in cylinders, dirty or cracked spark plugs, stuck intake valves or faulty ignition. Gradual stopping of motor with misfiring is caused by: dirt in carburetor, or ignition crouble. Regular but weak explosion is caused by too weak gas mixture, improperly adjusted magneto. Car running slowly when engine is all right is caused as a rule by the brakes not being entirely released or slipping clutch. When you hear the motor knocking you will find; that gas mixture is too lean or too rich, loose bearers, loose cylinders or crank case, loose flywheel, spark too far advanced, motor loose on chassis or insufficient lubrication. Explosion in muffler is caused by stuck or improperly sealed exhaust valve, improper ignition, cylinders missing fire and thereby causing ex- THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dresser and Grower One thousand agents wanted.

Box 812, Greensboro, N.C. plosive charges to be pumped into the muffler and then becoming ignited when the former charge is exhausted. Explosion in the intake manifold comes from too weak gas mixture, incorrectly timed intake valve, over-created spark, leaking intake or the intake valve does not close properly. When the engine has a hissing sound, look for a broken or loose spark-plug, loose or broken piston-rings or loose valve cap. Water will boil in radiator if the spark is over retarded—it will also come from a defective water circulation or if radiator holes are clogged, clogged muffler, or from the use of low gear for too long a period, or the lack of lubrication. The use of oil on all friction surfaces, on all parts of car where metal come into contact with metal in any way will avoid all squeaks. The study of these facts will enable most any person to maintain the most difficult motor or car in general. THE MAN IN CREATION. By Rev. Z. P. Smith, 548 W. Johnson St. When God created Adam, He dwelt in Eden's shade, So Moses has related, Until the bride was made. Ten thousands of thousands Of creatures swarmed around, Before that Eve was formed, Or yet a bride was found. Before she was created, He still remained alone, But to his Approbation, He found he'd lost a bone. Great was his exultation, To see his lovely bride; How great his elevation, To have her at his side. He spoke as in rapture, I know from whence you came, From my left side extracted, And woman is your name. Then Adam he was happy, To see his lovely bride, A part of his own body, The product of his side. This woman was not taken From Adam's head we see, AND SHE IS NOT TO RULE HIM; You evidently see. This woman was not taken From Adam's feet we see; And he is not to abuse her, The meaning seems to be. This woman she was taken From under Adam's arm, And he is to protect her From injury and harm. This woman was extracted From near to Adam's heart, Therefore we are directed That they shall never part. Here's council to the bridegroom, Likewise unto the bride Let not the Sacred volume Be ever laid aside. The book that's called the Bible, Be sure you don't neglect In every sense of duty It will you both protect It will you both protect. The bride she's commanded, Her husband to obey; In everything that's lawful, Until the dying day. The bridegroom is commanded, To love his lawful bride; And live as should a christian, And for his house provide.

VICTORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Man on General Sessions Bench Orders Name of John A. Magge Stricken From Jury List—Most Remarkable Occurrence Known to Jurisprudence In New York. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Public sentiment in favor of even handed legal justice and fair play to all citizens alike, without regard to race or color, is on the increase. Evidence that this statement is true has been shown recently by high authorities in several sections of our country, notably in South Carolina and Kentucky. In Kentucky Governor A. O. Stanley not only says that he is against mob PETER H. JUDGE OTTO A. BOSALSKY. violence, but backs up his words by action. When a mob of white men undertook to lynch a colored man at Murray, Ky., in January Governor Stanley, on being informed of the mob's intention, ordered a special train to convey him to the scene of the mob, and he let it be understood that as governor he would enforce the law. In this city and section of the country the most worthy and manly ruling in a court of justice occurred the third week in January in part five of the court of general sessions, presided over by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court was examining talesmen for jury duty in the case of the People against Nathaniel Motley, accused of the murder of John Press in this city in August, 1916. John A. Magee, one of the talesmen, on being questioned as to his fitness to serve as a juror in the case stated, so it is said, that the best reason he could give for not being competent to serve as a juror in this particular case was his prejudice against the Negro race and that as the defendant belonged to the Negro race he could not serve impartially. Judge Rosalsky was so astonished at such a reply that he ordered Magee's name stricken from the jury list. The court told Magee that, while the white man sits in judgment today on the colored man, one cannot tell but what the colored man might sit in judgment on the white man tomorrow. "I shall order your name dropped from the list," said Judge Rosalsky. "Any man with such views should be disqualified from serving on a jury, for I do not think that any man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving his life or property who has such prejudice against a race." Judge Rosalsky's ruling has caused wide comment in legal circles, and among the brightest minds at the New York bar the court's ruling is considered a fair and upright decision. Not only does the court's ruling disqualify John A. Magee from serving on jury, but it is one of the severest blows to race prejudice that has been struck by any judge here for many a day. Many communications lauding Judge Rosalsky for his fairness and strong manhood have been received by the court. My attention was called to the importance to the Negro race of the court's ruling by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, an able and popular member of the New York bar. Mr. Wheaton says: "Judge Rosalsky's decision will not only go far to create favorable public sentiment for legal justice to my race, but for the members of other races throughout the country as well. Judge Rosalsky's ruling is a splendid sample of what many other fair minds judges in the courts of this city will do in such cases as they present them selfs." Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the court of general sessions of the county of New York, was born in this city in 1873. He was appointed to the general sessions bench by Governor Higgins in October, 1905, at the age of thirty-three, being the youngest man ever appointed to the position. He is not only a man of fine physique, but of fine mental caliber and withal upright and just. He is a graduate of the law school of the New York university.
