THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE State Historical Library State St. Official Organ of A NATIONAL JOU VOL. II Official Organ of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth. MILWAUKEE MILWAUKEE CITY COUNCIL An effort is being made by certain influences to change the form of the City Council. We don't know its purpose, but we doubt that it is so much in the interest of the city. In the Primary six different forms were offered, and four of them eliminated. Two are now offered you on April 2. No. 1 provides for 12 district aldermen and 6 aldermen-at-large — 18 in all. This will do away with the ward aldermen and head off the progress of certain wards where the colored people reside. We don't charge that as the aim but it will just the same be the result. No. 2 does away with the aldermen-at-large, but retain the ward aldermen—25 in number. If this form is retained you may hope some day to do what your people have done in the 2nd ward of Chicago, where they have already one alderman and will soon have another. If you want to hold the power you are gaining in the 2nd and 6th wards. Vote for No. 2. We have talked with Mr. Geo. O'Donnell and take pleasure in recommending him as the logical candidate of the 4th ward. He is a pleasant man to meet. He is a friend of the needy and that speaks louder than words. He is the Blade's choice, first, last, and always. Elsewhere in this issue we are running an "ad" for Mr. George J. Herman for re-election for alderman of the 6th ward. We know George, have discussed with him public questions, have watched his record in the council, and believe him to be a true representative of the common people. Upon invitation of a committee of the Council of Social Agencies, Messrs. T. A. Hill of Chicago and E. K. Jones of New York, representing the League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, gave very interesting talks to an audience of white and colored people in the parlors of the City Club on Tuesday afternoon. As a result plans are on foot to secure someone skilled in investigation along this line to make a survey of conditions in Milwaukee, with a view to their improvement. Minnie Prevatt are planning on spending Easter in Chicago, visiting friends. Miss Effie Morrow, Corydon, Ind., will visit Milwaukee in the near future.

Kemp, ormerly of New Orleans, La., steward and class leader of St. Mark A. M. E. Church, is very well known. His wife is a conscientious christian member of Calvary Baptist Church and Silver Leaf Charity Club. His cut will appear in our columns soon. Deacon J. A. Clark, Calvary Baptist Church, is indeed a staunch supporter of the pastor and is a spiritual uplift to others. Mr. J. H. Dungey is one of the strong pillars and armor bearers of Calvary Baptist Church and its leader. He is a man who believes in fair play and practices the Golden Rule. He and his good wife, Mother Dungey, number their friends by the thousands. Mrs. John Sims, 328 Fourth St., who is in Chicago recuperating, is expected home this week. M. V. P., I. Hickman, P. G. C., No. 319, is an old Odd Fellow well versed in the works of the order. He is one of the pillars of Golden Lodge. Mrs. G. Bowman is sustaining her past record as a worthy church worker, she is president of the Woman's Missionary Society of Calvary Baptist Church. Gordon Lodge is under the care of Arthur Franklin, W. T., Jas. Bryant, N. G., Harry Austin, V. G., John Carter and John Sims, P. S., who together with other members are bringing things to pass. The pastor, officers, and members together with all the auxiliaries of Calvary Baptist Church, are working as a unit to raise one thousand dollars by the 4th Sunday in June. Rev. Russell is invincible and will certainly accomplish his aim. Services were well attended last Sunday, and the pastor is growing in popular favor each day.

BLADELETS Vote early and right. The man who fails to use his muscles soon loses the use of them entirely. Prepare today against the evils of tomorrow. No vote honestly cast is lost to him who casts it. The present war may not be of your choosing, but it is your war never-the-less. A drowning man catches at a straw; a man seriously ill will try any remedy. Let's "make the world safe for democracy." Every disorder has its remedy every poison its antidote. Wrongs do not right themselves. nor do rights come unsought—unearned. Every right enjoyed by the white man today was wrenched away from some other by a hard contest. LAWYER HAS JURY IN TEARS Morris, Hill—E. H. Morris, Chicago attorney, made the jury and spectators shed tears today in his argument on behalf of Class B. Munday, on trial for the wrecking of the La Salle Sate Trust and Savings Bank. Strong men smiled and women sobbed aloud as he painted Monday an "innocent country simpleton, who, by thrift and industry, made some money down in the farming district, was enticed to Chicago; picked clean by business sharpers, and now broken-hearted is dying in a cell." When he concluded, Mr. Morris, who had been shunned by the local bar, because he is a colored man, was howered with congratulations. He was invited to make an address at the noon luncheon of the Commercial Club, the most exclusive club of the city. Munday, his client, is white LENROOT AND DAVIES The Milwaukee Journal in a front page "special" suggests that inasmuch as "The returnus show Mr. Lenroot suffered a severe moral defeat", he should retire in favor of Mr. Davies who presumably secured a distinct moral victory. "Whadda ya mean by defeat?" Let's analyze the facts. According to the issue in which the above appeared, Mr. Lenroot received 15,353 votes more than Mr. Davies, and 2,017 votes more than both candidates of the Democratic party. Expressed otherwise the returns show that 190,751 persons voted against Davies as compared with 175,398 votes against Lenroot. It strikes us as a display of unusual nerve to ask the leading candidate in a field of five, and the choice of the majority party to retire, in favor of the third K.L. ENBOOT highest candidate, a member of the very pronounced minority party. We do not believe that even the exigencies of the situation require that any one retire, except for the purpose of insuring the election of Davies. Assuring that the three candidates retain the votes already secured, Berger may get two-thirds (six-ninths) of the votes cast for Thompson (and we doubt it), and Lenroot be given two-thirds Thompson's votes, which is a modest estimate), and the rest including McCarthy's vote to Davies and still Lenroot wnii defeat Berger, his nearest competitor, by nearly 3,000 votes. But there is another angle to this question. The largest number of persons voting for any candidate signified their desire for Lenroot, and Lenroot, at the behest of no man or set of men, has a right to nullify their votes. BELOIT. WIS. The funeral of Mrs. Boggs of 474 Race St. were held from Rosman's Undertaking Parlors, Pleasant St., on the afternoon of the 18th. Rev. J. S. A. Mitcham officiating. Mr. Oscar Trice who underwent an operation on the 18th, died at the Emergency Hospital Sunday afternoon, the 28th. Mr. Trice was a native of Shannon, Miss.; while in Beloit he identified himself with religious and educational work. He is a young man of high ideals and of a quiet unassuming disposition, and was much loved by all who knew him. At this writing arrangements have not been made for the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Weems, recently of 922 Fifts St., are now happily located at 1019 Eclipse Ave. Mrs. M. Douglas of St. Paul Ave. who for several months has been ill is much improved. The Easter services of St. Paul A. M. E. Church will be at 11 A. M., instead of in the afternoon as was announced last week. In less than five minutes after Mr. M. S. Williams presented the needy condition of a worthy citizen to the members and congregation of the Emanuel Baptist Church Sunday night, a hand-home sum was cheerfully donated and Rev. Fox was delegated to convey the same to the party. Emanuel Church's Easter program will be held at 6:30 P. M. Sunday 31 Mr. and Mrs. Mehan, 449 St. Paul Ave., are now domiciled on Union St. The Stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman and left a fine boy (Clyde Jr.). Mother and son are doing nicely, while father is wearing a broad smile. The mother was one of the founders of Emanuel Baptist Church and When he offered himself for their suffrage he impliedly promised that if selected he would make the run, and he is as truly bound by that promise as by any other expressly made during the campaign. If he fails them in this he may not hope to retain the confidence or respect of any appreciable part of the public. Democrats included. Besides the will conclusively prove the charges repeatedly made by the Mil. Journal, and his unfitness for office. But Lenroot will not retire for the good and sufficient reason that to do so will be equivalent to resigning from the U. S. Senator, and will on April 2nd place him in that office. No reasonable view taken of the possible distribution of Thompson's and McCarthy's vote indicate anything else than a plurality for the Republican nominee. There is some suggestion that the present is no time for political parties; that because we are at war, all party lines should be obliterated, with this we take issue. We are of the belief that parties are no less desirable and expedient at this time than in time of peace; that the purpose they serve, being a check and balance, is more needed today than at any period in the nation's history, and the fact that we can maintain our party organizations in times such as these is a glowing tribute to the soundness and wisdom of our institutions. Just a word as to the "Colored Brother" in this contest. He must be loyal, must stand back of the nation in its present difficulties; but so long as there is a candidate, other than that of the Democratic party, pledged to the support of the government in its war aims, he cannot afford to vote for Mr. Davies. Mr. Davies may be an excellent gentleman, and from what we have heard of him he is; he may be ever so free from prejudices that have been the blame of our existence, and for a purely local office may be more desirable than Mr. Lenroot. But as United States Senator, a national office, that has to do with the nation at large, he is bound to train with our enemies. Whatever of national legislation favorable to us, be it much or little, is from the Republican party. A vote for Davies is a vote for the National Democratic party, and a vote for that party is an endorsement for Tillman, Vardaman and company. VOTE FOR LENROOT. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE! YOU CANNOT, OUGHT NEVER TO, GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY! is a staunch supporter in all of its enterprises. Three cheers for little "Clyde". JUDGE TERRELL RE APPOINTED Washington, D. C.—Judge Robert H. Terrell, the only colored person holding a judicial position under the Federal Government, has been re-appointed Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia.

THE PASSING OF GENERAL BARRY When the 2,500 or more officers met Tuesday evening to say good-buy to him who had so guided the interests of the Camp from its very beginning, more eyes than one was filled with tears. Of course, press announcements had prepared us for the worse, but in spite of ourselves, we could not help but be surprised when the great general told us he would be leaving forthwith. A REMARKABLE MAN General Barry was in every sense a remarkable man. As rigid as an ancient taskmaster, as positive as truth, and yet as sympathetic as a child, General Barry had a way of dominating large situations without domineering. Perhaps, by more than any other group will the General be missed by the colored officers and men. To him more than to any other is due that wholesome "Camp Grant Atmosphere" about which we wrote last week. May he live long conough to see his precepts carried into practice "over there" and still longer to enjoy The soldier's appreciation of a man whose life has been a benediction to many and whose example no one could err who emulated. The contributor of these notes is gratified to learn that so many readers are interested in what our boys are doing at Camp Grant. Week before last, our typewriter was ill, hence, no news. Several readers reminded us that our notes did not appear. With the opening of Spring, Chicago visitors are blessing us with their frequent visits. Lieut. Daniel L. Taylor, the Battalion Police Officer, is working overtime to make our portion of the area presentable. New walks have been made, flowers planted, and other decorations and conveniences placed. Brigade Athletic Day on next Wednesday. The Machine Gun Battalion expect to carry off honors as usual. Company A's Social Work Captain Lewis W. Wallace has thought out an admirable scheme to help the men in his company feel as much at home as the surroundings will permit. Eevery Saturday night, the men enjoy a helpful program, followed by a light repast and smoker. A committee is organized to co-operate with the Red Cross and other social agencies for the purpose of helping the men adjust certain difficulties at their homes that could not be adjusted otherwise. Already, fruitful results are being seen. A Brilliant Production "The Kaiser in Bad" is the subject of a new song written by Private Oliver D. Hillman of the Medical Detachment and dedicated to the 350th Mack Gun Bat Major Lee, Lieut. Dunn and Adj Pitts by special request were favored with hearing a rendition of this tuneful air on Thursday evninf. The song is now in the hands of the publishers and erelong will be in the hands of others who appreciate good music Private Bedford Crabtree has the distinction of being the first to sing Hillman's song. The Intelligence Personnel Class Thirty-three of the Battalion's best noncommissioned officers and privates have been organized in- to a special class for the study of Military Intelligence. Lieut. Hy. E. Dunne who is taking the course at division headJuartors has been detailed as instructor. The Battalion has been going to the target range regularly this week. week. There will be a prize offered to the company making the best showing in a machine gun contest soon to be pulled off. Corporal William R. Watson, Co. B, has some real sensible things to say at times. How is this? "The army life has been so for an eye opener for many men and, no doubt, when the war is over, the men will go back to their homes with new determinations, enabling them to solve the problems which will confront each with more ease and satisfaction. --- Sgt. James Brown, Co. C, has been appointed Provost Sergeant and will assume his duties with Police Officer Taylor at once. Promotions in Co. C: Corp. Robt. M. Penniston to Sergeant, Pvt. Paul Jackson to Private 1st Cl. The usual number spent the week-end in Chicago. The Battalion Ball Team and a company of the 161st Depot Brigade (white) played an exciting game Saturday afternoon, the game ending 8 to 3 in our favor. The game was featured by hard hitting. Sgt. Louis Johnson, better known as "Dieta" Johnson, connected for two home runs. Sgt. Bluitt also found the pitcher for a home run. Sgt. Henry J. Johnson pitched a wonderful game. If his arm continues to improve, he will be a puzzle for the players in some of our later games. Sergeant Major Halfacre robbed Sullivan of the Depot Brigade of two possible runs in right field. Sullivan previously played with the City League of Chicago. Batteries for the battalion were Sgt. Henry H. Johnson and Pvt. Norman Maul. Batteries for Depot Brigade, Pvt. Guit and Pvt. Shamrock. Co. A won her fifth successive game Saturday afternoon by defeating the Mach, Gun Co. of the 365. Inf. The game was won by pyling up three scores in the ninth inning. Pvt. Peter McGee pitched the first five innings, and Sgt. "Dicta" Johnson finished the game. Pvt. Willie Hobbs, Mach. Gun Co., 365. Inf., spent Sunday in Chicago and visited Big Bethel Church, accompanied by his father, mother and sister. Paid Advertisement. — Authorized and published by Campaign Committee of M. B.

TUESDAY MEATLESS ONE MEAL WHEATLESS Personnels Sports Tuesday, April 2nd the citizens of Madison will vote on the question as to the granting of license for the ensuing year. It is not a question of putting the state "dry" or the nation "dry" or of putting breweries out of business. It is simply the question as to whether Madison is to have a number of regulated saloons which pay a revenue to the city where persons may get their glass of beer, or whether the system now in vogue is to be continued. We all know that there is more whiskey loose in the city than there ever was before. We know that hundreds are going every day to Sun Prairie, Middleton, Waunakee, Verona, and other nearby "wet" towns, and are coming back with whiskey inside and bottles in their pockets. The Milwaukee Railroad has been obliged to put special policemen on one of its trains which has come to be known as the "whiskey special." Breweries are delivering beer to any one who telephones the station at Middleton. Trade has been going out of the city. Do not take the word of some prohibition fanatic—ask any storekeeper you know well. Take a look at Middleton or Sun Prairie or Waunakee on any Saturday and then see whether those same farmers did not use to come to Madison. Don't be misled by the cry of some fanatical dry worker that anyone who is wet is disloyal. The Canadians who have been fighting at the front are giving their men a drink when they are at the front and recently bought 25,000 barrels of Kentucky whiskey. The English and French are doing the same. Ask any of our men in France what they are drinking. Certainly the Canadians, French and English are not disloyal. The only thing to decide when you go to the polls is whether you like the way things are now without license or whether you prefer to have licenses granted to a number of regulated places that pay a revenue to the city. Think the matter over and decide for yourself. MADISON BUSINESS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. JOHN W. GROVES For Mayor Madison is more to me than any other city on earth.

VOTE FOR HENRY CAESAR Aldermanic Nominee FIFTY YEARS A RESIDENT, TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A TAXPAYER. It should be the object of the voters to elect an Alderman who is well acquainted with the conditions of the ward. For 50 years as a resident and 25 years as taxpayer, Henry Caesar should be the man to represent his ward in the Common Council. A true and tried friend to the laboring man, never known to desert a friend, truly true believer in equal opportunity to all men. If elected he promises to see that the University, that the Taxpayers, and the city in general will be given a fair and just consideration. A vote for Henry Caesar shows wisdom. When a call was made to serve the country, his son Frank Edward Caesar, enlisted and is now at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C., 58th Inf. His friends among the University boys were legions and as he was often spoken of as a "good fellow", so is his father. Send HENRY CAESAR over the top as your Fifth Ward Alderman.
