The meeting was well attended and highly enjoyed by all present.

Mrs. Hessis Kelly was elected to represent the club at the Chicago City Federation which convened in Chicago on Monday. The club is interesting itself in the case of Edna Loving sent need to 14 years imprisonment on a murder charge. Investigation has shown that the young woman was not given all the justice that the law provides through the fault of no particular persons and efforts will be made to lighten the burden placed upon her.

"When Milwaukee goes dry, then will it be time to sit up and take notice," says the Rochester Herald. No brother, it will then be too late. Yes, too late. "What is the cause of the exodus of colored people from the south," writes a correspondent. For the same reason the Children of Israel left Egypt. See Exodus, First Chapter, Verses 7-14. When peace comes, and it is coming, you may be sure that this war will have ended the gambling in life's necessities which we reward here with vast fortunes. Whereas it ought to be rewarded with a comfortable little cell in prison. The human race is dull, obdurate, stupid. It is hard to get anything into the collective brain of humanity. Perhaps historians will write of this war as a great blessing, a sort of civilizing trephining operation, an opening of the collective skull of humanity to let in a ray of cosmic light. THE SENATE FILIBUSTER We are not prepared to "roast" Senator LaFollette and his colleagues for their attitude toward the "Arnold Neutrality Bill" because we have not satisfied ourselves that they were not right. Certain we are that they were within their rights and used no means not permitted by the rules and practice of the Senate. It is the only means available to a minority even with right on its side. While it is true the majority of the Senate favored the bill, and would have so registered their votes had an opportunity been given them, it is by no means certain that such unlimited power in the hands of one man, even though he be the President of the United States, is for the best interest of the country. The majority were honest. Why not accord to the minority the same motives? St. Benedict Settlement is a home for colored working girls and women of good morals. Anyone found inducing them to an immoral place or play will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Mrs. Laura Duncan, 823 Winnebago St., Milwaukee, Wis. ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN. G. U. O. of O. F. Prepare for Thanksgiving Sunday, May 8th. Now that the 1st of March has passed and Ogden day is history. Let every subordinate lodge and household, though out of the district, begin to make preparation for the annual thanksgiving sermon or exercises, the 2nd Sunday in May. Appoint your committees from both branches, select your preacher and speaker for the occasion; make a great display in keeping with the worth and standing of the order. Let the N. G. and M. N. G. enforce the General Law as to members not turning out. Maintain the high standard of the Order by compelling every male member of the order to pay a $1.00 and every female member to pay 50 cents as per the law, this will increase your treasury there. by making your Lodge or Household more stable PRESENT DAY PROBLEMS PRESENT DAY PROBLEMS. The problems confronting the colored people of this country are substantially the same today in all sections, differing less in kind than in degree. Their solution, if ever to be attained, must be sought by practically the same methods; for, whatever is able to convince the white people of one section that the colored man possesses all the inherent qualities belonging to the human race, will appeal strongly to those of every other section, and will go far toward securing for him all his inherent rights. The Race is today passing through the most critical stage of its career. The North has gradually undergone a change in its attitude toward it, and no longer accord it that paternal consideration as of yore. Its members are compelled to rely more upon their own resources—to employ their own ingenuity in their battle for existence. It is therefore of prime importance that they possess themselves of all the attributes of true manhood, maintain themselves with dignity and poise, and bring to whatever they undertake, all their skill, power and fidelity, that they may thereby convince the other race of their right to be treated as real men. On a recent trip your correspondent happened to meet with one of the prominent men in the migratory movement of the Negroes North. The gentleman in question admits that he has to do with, directly and indirectly, about sixty per cent of the Negroes have gone north in the last few months. He is employed by a railway company and it is interested to hear him tell of his experiences while traveling through the south. "Many times he movement continues, because it is the work of God." The gentleman in question is Mr. Louis Slaughter, Irving, Kentucky, a native of Virginia. Mr. Slaughter thinks that about half of the negroes will leave the south and perhaps more. Good wages, better treatment are the chief attractions that draw the negro north. Mr. Slaughter rtold us of a friend of his who had contract with a Macaroni factory, where five hundred colored women can be employed and also a railroad in the northwest that can use one thousand colored women to wash cars at $1.50 per day for eight hours work. Since the terrible European war continues, laborers are scarce every- where. In the harvest fields of the Dakotas and Canada there is promise of a bumper crop of wheat. This will call for from 60,000 to 80,000 hands with wages ranging from $2.20 to $5.00 per day. Mr. Slaughter comes South once a month. Ruth, No. 18, G. U. O. of O. F.

C. A. work, to week. In next week's issue we (Tune: Mountain Railroad.) In this life we find some Ruthites With Neomi's courage bold They have wandered far from Moab To Judea's land I'm told. There they meet with dear old Boaz, And the nearer kinsman too, In the presence of nire elders They decided what to do. Chorus Oh, dear sisters, let Ruth guide you In the paths of Peace and Love. Happiness will then betide you, Prosperity comes from above. It was time of barley harvest, Gleaners few were in the field. Reapers marvelled at the beauty That to Israel was revealed, Now and then they'd drop a bundle At their Master's great command. For the maiden who'd forsaken The heathen Gods of Moab's land. Boaz taken o' his sandal Just to show his love for Ruth, Gave it to the nearer kinsman Sealed the bond of peace and truth Ruth became a blessed mother Of a noted line of kings, And her name is found connected With the Lowly Nazarene. In respons to the letter of last week we have received two replies. We publish the shorter letter in the hope that it will answer the question propounded. The second will be published next week. Chicago, Ill., March 3, 1917. Dear Editress:— We have been reading your little paper with much interest for some time and I noted with pleasure the interest that the ladies have shown in your column. It is the only one of its kind which we have observed in this section and it is a pleasure to know that the public is invited to discuss current topics and events of interest in general. In last week's issue a sister Ruth demands the explanation of the lack of interest on the part of the young women. The very nature and tone of her inquiry supplies one reason—the older women are entirely too critical. She says that the young women of today are interested in everything else but works of the Ruths. It may be so—but I feel free to say that the their grandmothers and great grandmothers only we have been given greater opportunity to express ourselves and live more honestly according to our convictions. There are many things our mothers did which they hated, only because they feared the authority of a severe parent. Today education has given us broader vision and we do not do things because they are expected of us but rather because we want to do them and believe them to be right. Perhaps my own experience will help to give light on this subject. I am a southern girl from Tennessee. I was raised and educated there, graduating from one of our best schools. When I was eighteen I became a Ruth because my dear mother was one and I wanted to follow in her footsteps. My work there was pleasant and helpful for I wa salways at her side following her example. My mother died and I came to Chicago to live with an aunt. Here the spirit was very different. There was a "Rule or ruin" element in my aunt's household that kept up eternal warfare. They would meet and read their beautiful lessons and get outside and fuss and quarrel at each other. I joined another ladies secret order and it was the same. There was no P. H. P. there. There was nothing to suggest the studies which seemed more Christian to me than that preached from any pulpit. I told these dear women this and resigned. There were officers there who had held all the high places for ten year while others had never been promoted. Do you censure us for steering clear of hypocriety in high places? That's why we don't do more church work, more lodge work. We want things that are real—for "Human wants and human needs Are more to us than human deeds And human woes and human cares Are more to us than human cares." Are more to us than human prayers." I am not condemning any body or class but I do condemn the spirit which criticizes the young for wanting to be real and true. In the preceding generation had been true to their earlier impulses there would be less of this selfishness and criticism displayed. Very respectfully. Interested Reader. RUTH.

S.:— We give you herewith a few facts in reference to the Rosenwald Benefactions for Y. M. C. A. work, this week. In next week's issue we will take up the rural schools. "On December 30, 1910, Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago made a proposition through the Young Men's Christian Assn. of that city whereby he offered to donate the sum of $25,000 to every city in the United States which would raise by public subscription $75,000 for the purpose of erecting an association building for colored men and boys to cost, with land, building and furnishings not less than $100,000. The period covered by this offer expired on December 30, 1915. The full fund has been raised and buildings completed in the flowling cities: Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Cincinnati and Chicago. The following cities have secured in bona fide subscriptions the entire amount subscribed: New York, Brooklyn, Atlanta, St. Louis, Baltimore and Nashville. eNw York having also subscribed the amount for a similar building for colored women and girls: Mr. Rosenwald made this possible. Baltimore and Nashville were granted an extension of time on the assurance that the money would be raised in six months. It is probable that when all these subscriptions were paid Mr. Rosenwald was called upon to donate $325,000. WOMAN'S WORK. Read at Ogden Day Exercises. IDA MARTIN, P. M. N. G., 1648. Brookport, Ill. Master of Ceremonies, Members of Brooklyn Banner Lodge No. 5022, Household Ruth No. 1648 G. U. O. O. F. and Friends. It affords me a deal of pleasure to come before this grand body, upon this special occasion. No other race has progressed as rapidly as ours in the past fifty years of freedom; and today the race stands for right and liberty. Our backs are now turned on the past, and our faces to the future, and our trust in the Almighty God. The woman plays an important part in the upbuilding of humanity. It behooves us to care for our inmates as true hearted women will, imbuid with a spirit of "peace, happiness and prosperity," with an ambition to lead her sons, and daughters to the topmost round of the ladder of F. L. and T. It is a woman's responsibility to teach the young men, what it is to be true men, and what it is to be a loyal, and a man in every sense of the word. To teach the young women to be womanly and that it is honorable to work. Fashionable women and those who live in self indulgence and for a good time, are dead weight to their parents, and blot on society. In the age of chivalry and knighthood, the law of human nature were expressed when the crowning of the victor was assigned to woman's hand. As on the knightly fields, so it is on the great battle fields of life. We should never be discouraged, but work more zealously for "peace, happiness and prosperity, and thank God that we have done very well. May our heavenly Father bless each branch, and members of the G. U. O. O. F. who have been faithful and labored hard for the best interest of the Order. May innocence, hope, and virtue be our watchword. Let us push forward this grand and noble cause. YOU WILL FIND REAL BARGAINS IN SPRING GOODS AT COHN'S GENERAL STORE, 754 W. WASHINGTON AVE.

Dear Sir— I am writing to you to ask some of your thousands of readers to tell me why it is that some of our people want to be white and are forever trying to leave the race? I am not referring to the women in this article who are using skin preparation, etc., but I am speaking of some of our men and especially right here in Madison. Oh, it is indeed sickening to see the ignorance displayed by some of the negroes of Madison. You will see them boot licking around just to call some white man by his first name, Henry, Jack, or Bill. This same Negro will pass some of his race on the street and for fear he will have to speak turns his head, looks in a window or actually goes in some store. Tell me, how can the race rise in the scales of intelligence with such ignoramuses as these around? How can we hope to amount to anything with such draw backs and dead weights clinging to us? These same Negroes are posing to the white people as leaders. We should let the white people know that they are not our leaders or spokesmen, and that the only recognition they get is from fooling them with a lot of big talk, and broken English. We pause to ask this question. Who are they leading? when they are hopelessly divided at home. -F. J. P MR. GEORGE MORTON, of Chicago Dead. The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. George Morton of Chicago was made known to Madisonians by Mr. Taswell E. Hines on last Saturday. It struck the many warm friends of the Morton family in Madison forebice. Mr. Morton was for a short while a resident of Madison and always during the stay of his children in our city. He spent his vacation with us. He was for years connected with the city police department of Chicago and leaves a host of friends in Madison as well as in Chicago to mourn his loss. The Blade extends sympathy to the bereaved family. His wife, sons and daughters, Mrs. Carrie Bowell, Jas. Craig, and Lewis and others. Milwaukee, Wis. DAVID JOHNSON—VIOLINIST.
