REGISTRATION RESULTS Milwaukee—According to the returns from the recent registrations, there are in Wisconsin about 600 colored men within the required ages, 25th being in the City of Milwaukee alone. Outside of Milwaukee Rock County furnished 169, Dane County 32, Racine County 26, LaCrosse County 20, Douglas, Walworth and Milwaukee Counties, outside of the City of Milwaukee, 13 each, and Fond du Lac County 10. The others were scattering through the state. While more than 54 per cent of the whites claimed exemption, less than 52 per cent of the colored made such claims. If the same ratio holds good for the colored as for the whites it is estimated that there are now residing in this state more than 5000 colored people, one half of whom are in Milwaukee. VOL.

Famous Utica Singers Coming From the Great "Black Belt" of Mississippi! A company of NEGRO JUB ILEE SINGERS from the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Utica, Miss., of which Prof. William H. Holtzelaw is Principal, will appear in this city at 1st Baptist church, Cor. W. Dayton & Carroll St.-Saturday night, June 16th, 8, P. M. These singers have traveled over the New England States, and in many other parts of our great country singing in the interest of their school, of which many of them are graduates. The program to be rendered consists of the old-fashioned plantation melodies, negro folk-songs, s southern gospel hymns, dialect readings and a short address—entitled: "The Story of Utica." This is a charmingly interesting program, and is bound to please all who witness it. These young people are a highly trained group of singers; and the community is to be given a real treat in their appearance here. Be sure to hear them. Admission 25c. ALDERMAN DEPRIEST ACQUITTED Chicago—Oscar De Priest, a former alderman, was acquitted in criminal court of charges that he protected gambling in the "black belt" when he represented the Second ward in the city council. Sensational testimony of large profits from gambling houses in which the police were said to have participated, and the campaign fund of a prominent candidate in the last election figured at the trial. "ELDER" JACKSON UNMASKED Lincoln, Ill.—J. C. Jackson, known as "Elder" Jackson, who is reputed to have fleeced thousands of residents of central Illinois in collections for an orphanage near Danville, was sentenced to Chester penitentiary for an indeterminate term of from one to ten years. He was convicted of operating a confidence game. The "elder" is said to have collected thousands of dollars for his "Israel of God, the White Horse Army." --- A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1917 Sergent Henry C. Robinson, 371 Ohio St., Lexington, Ky. A Year's Labor. This has been a year that Faith has meant everything. The Blade has fought and championed the cause of the people. We have striven to do "The Greatest Good to the Greatest Number." In our initial issue we stated that it would not be our mission to Pull Down but rather Lift Up. We have tried to follow this course during the year, and will leave the public to judge. We have tried to regard the rights of the humblest citizen as sacred as those of the highest. Our Columns have been opened to communications from any source, except we have not allowed personal abuse or fights of a malicious nature to be carried on in them. The Blade has cut and will continue to cut but only into the rank of ignorance and error and for the purpose opening up a path of truth and right. We wish to thank the generous public for its unstinted sympathy and support in the past and we crave its continuance in the future. J. Anthony Josey. [Name] MRS. LIZZIE F. BOWEN Millersburgh, Ky. The above is the likeness of Mrs. Lizzie F. Bowen, principal of the Millersburgh school, and a graduate of Oberlin College. She has had charge of the school for over twenty years and has done some good work. Her friends are numbered by her acquaintances. In a recent address Prof. Cook, principal of the Little Rock High School, said Mrs. Bowen was numbered among the leading educators of the state. Sergent Henry C. Robinson, The subject of this sketch attended school at Charlotteburgh, Va., and was reared on a farm early in life he began to show excellent traits. While in school he worked in hotels as waiter during Summer. He entered the Army in 1886 as private in Company K and C 25th Infantry, serving 5 years and was discharged. Re-enlisted in 1892 in 24th Infantry. Company F, and served as private and corporal in same company until 1898. Was transferred to Company L in 1898 and served as Sergeant and Quarter Master and 1st Sergeant until July 11, 1912, the date of retirement. It will be remembered that a soldier receives double time for foreign service. Sergeant VICTOR C. TURNER University of Wisconsin The rich red sands of Georgia gave him to us—smiles and all; and now in this hour of national crisis, the government is taking him away. Mr. Victor Turner was born in Crawfordville, Ga., in 1885. There over those tragic hills, he was nurtured. He attended Morehouse College in Atlanta where he acquitted himself with distinction. He easily became the hero of that school, and of the South, for that matter, when he won glory as a football star. He was elected Captain of the team. After he was graduated from Morehouse, he decied to come North to further his education. Four years ago he entered the University of Wisconsin, and after four years of sacrifice and excessive labor he now is graduated from the School of Agriculture. But on Commencement Day the government calls him to the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines. Mr. Turner is an astute scholar with a keen sense of honor. He is a gentleman and has made himself a vital part of colored Madison. He is Superintendent of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday School and the president of the Civic League. Mr. Turner is only one of those great young men who have come to us with a vision of social helpfulness. His intention was, before his enlistment, to go back to Georgia to teach scientific farming. Despite the tremendous exodus to the North, it is indeed refreshing to watch with intelligent interest those who love those southern hills, and with the rich experience of education exercise the ghosts of tradition and go there to make life better. 371 Ohic St., Lexington, Ky. Robinson has spent three years in Alaska at Camp Skargway, also some time in Cuba and the Phillipine Islands. Sergeant Robinson wears several badges. Attention may be called to one and than is the Badge of the Society of Santiago. Few men wear this Badge. Others are for heroic services and expert shooting. Sergeant Robinson has a nice home on Ohio Street and enjoys talking of his many experiences while in the Army. BUY MADISON MADE CIGARS ED. TIFFIN LA POSA ZODIAC - CUBAN TIPS ROYAL HONOR.

Editor's Note:—The verses appearing from time to time in this column are selected less for their poetic merit than for the appeal they make to the better side of man's nature. They are in line with the aim and purpose of the Blade to give to its readers good wholesome reading matter. KISS HER "When your wife and you fall out, Don't strut about and shout, Don't growl at her or scowl at her or hiss her; You will find it doesn't pay; Try your hand another way; Just take her in your arms and gently kiss her. When your wife and you must fight, Make her think she's in the right, Don't rush off to the club, where you will miss her; Should a fight with wifey start, You will play the big man's part If you take her in your arms and gently kiss her." BLADELETS. Be in earnest. If you can't boost, keep quiet. You patronize us when you patronize our advertisers. Some people might lose their reputations with profit to themselves. No race or sex possesses a monopoly of the virtues or vices. Since the advent of the telephone, gossipping has become a fine art. If there is anything some women delight in more than talking about their erring sisters, we have failed to discover it. Secretary Lane says: "Germany has not only linked itself with the Turk but has also adopted his methods." What's the matter with Memphis, Tennessee, U. S. A.? Exercise care in the choice of your company. If you would have pleasure, seek your equals; if profit, your superiors. Do not single-handed attempt to lift your inferiors. Last week 51: Washington the "Johnny Rebs" carried in their parade a banner inscribed "Damn The Man Who Won't Stand By His Country." Not such a bad sentiment but wholly out of place in a parade of those who tried to destroy their country, and now annually commemorate their efforts. It must have been an inspiring spectacle to see them in possession of the nation's capital. Oh Hell! BLADE REAL ESTATE AND RENTING AGENCY HOUSES FOR SALE ON EASY TERMS OUR ANNIVERSARY With this issue the Wisconsin Weekly Blade celebrates its first anniversary. It is entering upon its second year having had its first issue Thursday. June 8th, 1916. In the one year of its existence it has affected no great reforms, initiated no grand movement, accomplished no marvelous feats. It has, however, endeavor to hew to the line, to speak out against wrong and for right, to condemn vice and extol virtue, to combat discrimination and nurture justice, to furnish a medium for the free discussion of public questions and at the same time to provide such news as is not to be obtained from the dailies and yet is of interest to our readers. We have faithfully labored to conduct a live weekly free from those personalities that have done so much to bring the colored press into disrepute. How well we have succeeded we leave it to others to judge. Of course our motive in founding this journal it not wholly philanthropic; we make no pretense that we expect no returns for our labors and expenditures; we frankly admit a certain personal element, though it is not the end and aim of our efforts. DO YOU THINK YOU WILL LIVE? "Oh! I just think our paper is simply fine." This was the remark made to the editor during the year and at the beginning of The Blade, we have passed our first mile stone and are yet in the field. "Yes, your paper is up-to-date in every way." "But," said the editor, "I did not know you read our paper, for I am sure your name is not on our subscription list." "Well! you know I read the one that comes to the people next door. I'm just simply wild about The Blade and am going to subscribe for it sometime. Do you think you will live? That depends entirely upon you. It all depends upon the question of whether or not you and a great many others are going to put your dollars behind your feelings. If The Blade should live, people have got to stop going next door to read the paper, they Blade 4 have got to cease going to the barber shop and getting the house copy. In fact it is up to them as to whether The Blade will live. ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY We note with pleasure the 39th Anniversary of The Bee, Washington, D.C. We have not always agreed with Brother Chase; in fact we have often disagreed with him, though less upon matters of principle than upon those of policy. In the final analysis we have found him to have the same end in view as ourselves—the absolute liberation of his people from every form of discrimination. Thirty-nine years constitute no brief career for any newspaper; for a colored paper, it is an age. That he has established and conducted it in spite of the "rocky road" which he and all others who essay the role must travel, speaks volumes for his dogged determination and steadfast adherence to a purpose. A less determined, resourceful and purposeful man would have succumbed long ago. So, Here's to The Bee and William Calvin Chase, its editor. May they continue to be identical for many years to come with all of their pristine power to buzz and—sting, whenever necessary. STANDARD MAKES DISTINC TIVE ADVANCE The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia, has rounded out its organization by the recent establishment of a Department of Special Bureaus. This will further enhance the value of Standard policies by throwing about the policyholder exactly the same kind of protection and inspection of business as is afforded by the largest and richest companies in America. In so far as colored business is concerned, no other life Company can possibly have the facilities for inspecting their risks as will the new Standard Bureau. Mr. Perry, the President, is an ardent supporter of the idea of specialized training to do certain things well and for the special training and complete knowledge of the particular feature of Standard Life affairs to be entrusted to their keeping. This precedent is followed in the organization of the Department of Special Bureaux, the new director of which is James A. Jackson, who brings to his new position 17 years of experience at this line of business. His last position was that of Roadman with the B. & O. Railroad, where he served on the general staff for more than three years. He left a We believed that the colored people of this state needed and their interests required such a paper as we hoped to establish; and we conceived it to be our duty to provide and conduct it, and their duty to encourage and support it. The year has not been without its discouragements. Ours has not been an easy task, nor have we been supported as liberally as we had reason to hope. It takes money to run a paper and this we have not always had in large sums. And yet with it all, we are about to enter our second year with no feelings against any one, but rather with the kindliest sentiments toward all. That we have been supported more liberally than we deserved is not an impossibility; that we shall receive a more generous support as we prove ourselves worthy of it, is among the probabilities. We can only strive in the future as in the past to merit it. With this foreword we extend to our advertisers, subscribers, readers and friends a hearty appreciation of their past support, and a hopeful solicitation of their continued favorable consideration. May we each more nearly approach perfection in our several duties. SELAH. service record that is in itself an excellent recommendation. His range of experience besides investigations includes a direct and intimate study of welfare work, office efficiency and disciplinary surveys. Mr. Jackson's educational foundation was obtained in Pennsylvania schools. This was supplemented by such later training as the personal instruction of Harrington Emerson the efficiency, authority and close association with America's most successful investigators. His travels have familiarized him with the greater part of our country. Milwaukee. Wis. St. Mark A. M. E. Church has now launched a red white and blue rally under the leadership of three ladies, Mesdames Woods, Mathers and Miss Lucille Jackson and splendid results are expected. Mrs. Ella Frazer, nee Simmons, has returned to Chicago where she will remain indefinitely. Mrs. Carrie Horton attended the Chicago City Federation of Clubs last week. The iliac Social given by the Improvement Club was the most enjoyable social affair of the season. Whist was the predominating feature of the entertainment and a very large number participated. The club wishes to express its appreciation to all the patrons of their social, especially the railroad employees who always contribute so largely to the success of such affairs. Mrs. Darnell Howard and mother have left for Chicago where they will remain indefinitely. Mr. Dean Mohr, of Springfield, Ohio, was among the graduates at the Ohio State University at Columbus this year and he has made a very enviable record in all the branches of study which he pursued. After Commencent Mr. Mohr returned to Milwaukee where he spent a few days visiting friends and relatives. He left on Wednesday morning for the Des Moines training camp where he will train for a commissioned office in the U. S. Army. The recital given by Prof. David Johnson at the Gospel tabernacle on last Thursday evening was largely attended and all pupils presented themselves in splendid form, showing great skill and efficiency on the part of the teacher. The program was greatly augmented by the assisting talent special mention being due to Madame Anna Gunther whose rendition of "Indhammatus" received thunderous applause. Prof. Jas. Johnson, Sr. & Junior played in their usual brilliant style the Piano and Cello respectively and the reading of Miss Marie A. Burgette were extremely appropriate and highly appreciated by the vast audience. There were about four hundred persons in attendance. Mrs. Josephine Peeples, of Chicago, has returned home after a brief visit among friends here. Her daughter, Mrs. Josephine Jackson, will return on Monday after a pleasant visit here. Mrs. A. G. Burgette has returned from Chicago where she went to attend the funeral of her girlhood friend, Mrs. Lottie Lewis. The month of June has not lost its old significance for Dame Rumor has it that there will be announcement rather soon of some marriages past and future. Two very popular society leaders are reported to have been seen in Waukegan last week and their very charming and mysterious smiles when questioned were rather significant. We have always suspected that these young ladies would do this romantic thing. When in Milwaukee be sure to stop at the Alberta Villa.
