WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE THE BLADE H T. W. Tow Beacon Cigar Store Stand, 1020 You Washington, A LIVE YOUNG ATTORNEY (Blade News Service) "By Industry We Thrive" That is a most fitting slogan to be applied to the folks connected with the War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, at 2011 Georgia avenue, N. W. The activities there are many and varied. Aside from entertaining the soldiers with musical and literary programs, the club has co-operated in every movement in which the soldiers and sailors, and workers as well, have an interest. The National Memorial Association, having as its object the erection of a suitable memorial in Washington to the colored men who have participated in the nation's war, has met here; the committee of citizens to welcome back to Washington the President of the United States, and the committee having in charge the memorial services for the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, have held meetings here. During the week of January 20th, social hours, games and dancing constituted the program. On January 22d, however, the Patriotic Women's Friendship Society (Mrs. Bessie B. Cannody, chairman) entertained about 200 soldiers. On January 23, troops of the Boy Scouts gave a very interesting exhibition. Mrs. Julie Mason Layton (Assistant) visited the Naval Hospital where twelve colored sailors are confined, and extended to them an invitation to be present at the functions of the club. The Red Cross Units of the Zion Baptist church (Mrs. Hattie Henderson) entertained about 100 soldiers, serving a light supper. On Saturday night, January 25th, Mr. Robert W. Bell (white) and his company of players gave a delightful comedy entitled "Chums" to a capacity audience at the club; dancing followed. Community singing on Sunday was a feature. Tuesday, January 28th, a committee of young women workers, under the leadership of Miss Virginia L. Williams, entertained the soldiers at an old fashioned candy pull. The soldiers enjoyed themselves. On Thursday, January 30 Miss Ida C. Plummer and the Red Cross Unit of the North-east Suburban District entertained the soldiers with a program, serving refreshments, after which there was dancing. This was also the order of exercises for Friday, January 31st, when the Misses Alexander and Mrs. Phillips entertained the soldiers. On Saturday night, February 1st, Miss Justine Wilkes and a bevy of young women gave a program in which members of the New York Syncopated Orchestra rendered some selection. The attendance was large and the affair an enjoyable one. The community sing closed a very busy week. On Saturday night the club was favored with a visit by Miss J. B. Hait, Executive Headquarters, New York City. A series of "quiet evenings at home" was the feature of the club for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights (February 3d to 6th, inclusive). Games, reading and social chats made up the program. On Friday night, February 7th, a carnival fun was had when Miss Ardella Parks and a company of members of the younger set held a mid-winter indoor picnic. Real fun was enjoyed, summer clothes were worn and lunch was spread on the floor. On Saturday night, February 8, the prince of violists, Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, gave a violin recital. A capacity audience was very appreciative. On Sunday, February 9th, at the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church( the National Memorial Association and the War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, held joint memorial exercises to the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Prominent speakers delivered addresses, and music was furnished by Mr. Joseph H. Douglass violinist. Miss Virginia L. Williams, and others. The committee does not stop at entertaining those who can come to the club house, but so energetic NGTON, D. C. and active are they that several young women after their work day closes (most of them teach school) make trips to the various camps out of town. A party consisting of Misses Virginia L. Williams, Julia Davis, Estelle Collier, Lily Rose Skinker, Hallie Queen, entertained the soldiers at Camps Mead and Humphries with songs and selections from the works of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The instrumental music was furnished by Mr. Alonzo P. Smalls, formerly of Tuskegee Institute. Eldridge A. Hawkins, for forty years a deacon in the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, of this city, died. Funeral services, which were largely attended, were held Friday at the church. At the yearly meeting of the Christian Endeavorers at the Bethel Literary and Historical Association the banner was awarded to the Y. P. S. C. E. of the Walker Memorial church, which society was 100 per cent, having all its members present. Mrs. Della Moore, who has been confined to her bed for several weeks is up and out again to the delight of her many friends. The New York Syncopated Orchestra gave an interesting concert to packed houses on Sunday last. R. R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was in the city during the week. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist church, left for New York City, from which he will sail for Paris. REV. C. M. TANNER, D. D. Polished Pastor Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D.C. Forcible, Pointed and Logical "A Lustrous Son of a Lustrous Sire" Dr. Tanner is conceded to be one of the greatest preachers and ablest pastors in his connection. He has successfully pastored some of the leading churches of the A.M. E. Connection and the acknowledged money king of African Methodistism. He has lifted more mortgages and reduced more church debts than any one individual of his race regardless of denomination. Rarely indeed is blended the able theologian, pastor and business man. But happily so in the case of Dr. Tanner. He is a thorough business man, eloquent pulpit orator, who has the power to sway with his magic, great throngs of people. He is a ripe scholar, a great student of modern and antedulivian history. An extensive traveler, having visited So. Africa, West Indies and every section of America. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on the policy of his church. A great race man with an unshakable belief in its future. His magnetic qualities has united all factions wherever he has been in charge. He has brought together the Judge on the Beach and the day laborer with splendid harmony causing them to produce fruit for the master. With all the telling qualities Dr. Tanner's unnumerable friends predict that there are great things in store for this faithful servant of God, church and his race. The good Doctor can creditably fill any pulpit that destiny may beckon. The A. M. E. connection realizes today as never before that its future depends upon men of recognized ability and truly it is not boasting to say that the good Doctor stands today the peer of any man.

TERRELL Senior Judge Municipal Court, District Columbia PRESIDENT OF PORO COL NEWS OF WILMINGTON, DEL LEGE SUFFERS BREAK- The aphorism, "A poet is not without honor save in his own country," is evidently not applicable to jurists if the experience of Hon. Robert H. Terrell, Senior Judge of the Municipal Court, District of Columbia is to be taken as a criterion. In the District of Columbia where the Judge resides and dispenses justice, he is both respected and honored—respected for his profound knowledge of the law and ability to interpret it; honored for the eminent justice and conspicuous fearlessness of his decisions. Judge Terrell was born in Virginia, educated in the schools of the District of Columbia, is a graduate of Harvard University and received his legal training in the Law School of Howard University. He has taught school, held various positions under the government and practised his profession. In 1902, over the protest of almost every white member of the District Bar, President Roosevelt appointed him to the position he now holds and reappointed him in 1906. He was reappointed by Mr. Taft in 1910 and by Mr. Wilson 1914 and 1918. He has the distinction of being the only judge now sitting in that court of those who served at its organization and he has twice seen the entire membership changed with the exception of himself. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of his judiciary career, in view of the bitter opposition to his original appointment is the almost unanimous request of the local bar, white and colored. Dem- Mr. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro College, suffered a severe nervous breakdown on Monday of this week. Dr. Tinsley, his physician, gave it as his opinion that Mr. Malone's condition was due to overwork and ordered a complete rest for him. Mr. and Mrs. Malone left St. Louis Tuesday night for a rest. His friends wish for Mr. Malone a speedy recovery. THE BLADE FOR SALE T. W. TOWNSLEY Beacon Cigar Store and News stand, 1020 You St. N. W. Washington, D. C.

Had it not been for this strong endorsement by those who knew him best and expected to practice before him the unjust and unwarranted opposition of those distinguished colorphobes to his confirmation by the senate would have succeeded in 1914. "Many who came to scoff have remained to praise." One trait of the judge's which has contributed as much to his great popularity with the bar, as his ability to "deliver the goods," is his unfailing good nature and willingness to accommodate attorneys and litigants. Once in the trial of a case, he willingly ex-extends the session beyond the regular hours if by so doing, attorneys and witnesses may be saved the necessity of returning next day. He never refuses to try any case whether regularly assigned to him or brought there by content of both parties, and it is some times interesting and certainly amusing to see both attorneys "jockeying" with the rules of court in order to get some case before Judge Terrell. They can't both win, but they can at least have the case "tried." Judge Terrell is happily married and has two very charming daughters. His wife, Mary Church Terrell, the noted club woman and lecturer is in some parts of the country better known than her distinguished husband. We are proud of Judge Terrell and feel that we have a part in his success. Miss Edna Hill, 917 Walnut St., has consented to furnish the happenings of Wilmington to the Blade's readers each week.

The Colored citizens of Wilmington held a mass meeting last evening in the Zion M. E. church. The meeting was called by Mr. Chas, H. Coburn who presided, the object was to protest against the passing of the proposed school bill. Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. W. Bond, the meeting was addressed by Dr. C. Banton, Dr. J. U. King, Councilman Hopkins and others. The following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, we the colored citizens of Wilmington in mass meeting assembled, having heard the new school bill thoroughly explained with a great deal of interest and profit, and whereas, we believe the passing of this bill will exclude Negro representation. Resolve, that we unanimously protest against its passage in its present form." A Regular Stag Tendered Mr On last Tuesday night the guests gathered at the home of Capt. Stewart and were royally entertained at an old fashioned stag. Whist, hearts and Jokes were indulged in, every thing in keeping with the occasion was on hand and the guests vied with each other to make it a pleasant one. The boys were glad to greet "Newt" and praised Capt. Stewart for his genuine hospitality. CHICAGO NEGROES ACT FOR BETTER HOMES FOR RACE Negroes Form Society for Better Housing Chicago, Feb. 3.—Better living conditions and ownership of property by Negroes of Chicago are sought through the organization of the Pyramid Building and Loam association, 3529 South State street. The officers of the new society said they have worked out a comprehensive scheme of rebuilding W. H. Terrell, Secy. the Negro district and improving sanitary conditions.

O. 714 France, Dec. 22, 1918, from General Malvern Hill Barnum to the officers and men of the 183d Brigade, upon the subject of his detachment from command, fully explains itself. We are unable to add to it; we would not take anything from it. The order follows: The order detaching me from command of the 183d brigade was so unexpected and coming, as it did, just as the Brigade was moving, made it impossible for me to give expression to my regret at having to sever an association of over a year and one that will be of the pleasant recollections of my army career. Having organized and trained the 183d Brigade and commanded it thru its active service in the present war, I can speak of the willing requirements that made the work very enjoyable. When men work with their hearts as well as their head and hand the best results are certain to follow. I feel that officers and men of the Brigade may justly be proud of the record made, and I believe that history will accord them no little credit. I trust that each one will do his utmost to insure to the Brigade, the finest record possible during the remainder of its period of service. Finally in returning to their homes, I trust that each one will take with him a high sense of responsibility as an American citizen and a keen desire to perform faithfully whatever duties fall to him in the future. With such a heritage from his Army Service, each one will not only have helped win the war and thus rendered a great service to humanity, but will himself have become the gainer thru the remaining years of his life. (Signed) MALVERN HILL BARNUM. MAJOR GENERAL BALOU TAKES LEAVE OF 92nd DIVISION A Brief Review Headquarters 92nd Division, A. A. E. F. A. P. O. 766. 18 Nov. 18—Memorandum—Five months ago today the 92nd Div. landed in France. After seven weeks of training it took over a sector in the front line and since that time some portion of the Division has been practically under fire. It participated in the last battle of the war with creditable success, continually pressing the attack against highly organized defensive works. It advanced successfully on the first day of the battle attaining its objectives, and capturing prisoners. This in the face of determined opposition by an alert enemy, and against rifle, machine gun and artillery fire. The issue of the second days' battle was rendered indecisive by the order to cease firing at eleven a. m. when the armistice became effective. The Division Commander, in taking leave of what he considers himself justly entitled his division, feels that he has accomplished his mission. His work is done and will endure. The results have not always been brilliant, and many times were discouraging, yet a well organized, well disciplined, and well trained colored Division has been created and commanded by him to include the last shot of the great world war. May the future conduct of every officer and man be such as to reflect credit upon the Division and upon the colored race. By command of Major General Ballou. ALLEN J.

Some very fine farmers are lost in making a poor grade lawyer or doctor. Every display of the American flag is not a boost for business but it is no particular detriment to it. In spite of our complaints we love the old flag, and the things it really stands for. In the history of the recent trying times there will ever appear a stirring tale of the patriotism of America’s sons of African deseent. In spite of their loud protestations of love of coun- try, many Americans, even in the face of the com- mon enemy, were unwilling to forget their preju- dices, With so many of the country’s fighting men out of work and unprovided for there is rapidly devel- oping a condition that bids fair to embarass if not seriously menace the republic, Referring to the Ist Sep.

There is, however, among those who most benefitted by his life, contined we are glad to be able to say, to the ignorant and unread, a disposition to belittle and disparage his ‘' Proclamation of Eman- cipation.”” They say he really was never opposed to slavery, never sincerely desired the black man’s liberation, We say the “ignorant and unread” beeause we do not believe any man of intelligence, or even one who had read anything of the life of Mr. Lincoln, could possibly take that stand. The more we have read and studied his life the more convinced are we that there was never a moment from the time Mr, Lin- coln, as a young man, first learned the true nature of human slavery, that he was not bitterly opposed to the institution. His every act and word when the matter was discussed by him conclusively proves this, He was not a fanatic. He believed in law and order and knew that to destroy completely that which was established by law, the law must be evoked. He wanted slavery destroyed, but by that law by which it had been established. To prove their contention his traducers inveri- ably point to his letter to Horace Greeley in which he declared it as his purpose to save the union with or without slavery. Foolish, shortsighted erities they are unable to see that if the south, the home of slavery, was permitted to withdraw from the union all hope of ever suppressing the institution would be at an end, Even as today, if the south were permitted to set up an independent state the chances are they would attempt to etablish more drastic conditions than now prevail, No, Lincoln was right and at the opportune mo- ment he did hit the ‘*damn institution” a blow from which it never recovered and at the same time sav- ed the union, Let us, therefore. continue to reverence his mem- ory and if we do not know whereof we speak, keep our mouths closed, THE BEAM IN OUR EYE Autoeracy is dead in the world and here in Ameri- ca national prohibition and woman suffrage merely pause in the backroud to decorate their chariot wheels for a triumphal entry Yet a glaneg about us, even here in democracy’s home, will warn us that the time 4s not yet at hand for us to don ascensional robes and pin on our wings. We rejoice in the release of subject races, but we are reminded by a recent address of President Moor- field Storey of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, delivered before the Wisconsin Bar Association, that there live in our country today ten or twelve millions of native Amer- icans whose constitutional rights—the right to vote, to atrial by jury, to protection of life and property are habitually abridged or denied, Mr. Storey recites the Negro’s exclusion from la- bor unions, the wretched quarters he is often forced to occupy in cities at unreaonable rents, the doors closed against him when he seeks a higher level, the discrimination against him in the matter of educa- tion in those sections where separate schools are maintained, white pupils often receiving ten or twelve times the appropriation per capita that the blacks receive. And, of course, Mr. Storey does not fail to advert to the ghastly subject of lynching. Just now, when the world is still tender over its dead in the eause of liberty and when our president is sailing toward Europe to put into effect, it may be, his theses on the rights of man, is a very fitting time for us Americans to look into the corners of our own household. As we mentioned the other day, 300,000 of our black citizens have put on khaki in this war for de- moeracy. The press of the South, an eye-witness to the process, has been loud in its praise of the admir- able attitude of the Colored man toward the draft; his lack of slacking; his quick response to every ap- peal of the government, and the zeal of the Negro leaders that their race might make good in this time of test. On the field of battle we know that the Negro made }zood, One whole regiment, as well as many indi- viduals, was cited for bravery. More than a thous- and were made commissioned officers, Yet while these men were thus laying their lives upon their country’s altar, 219 Negro men, women and children were lynched; and, in addition, 175— women and children as well a men—were tortured, burned and killed at East St. Louis, in our own proud commonwealth, reminding us once again that mob spirit and racial hatred know no section, Some of the lynehings were aceompanied by a fiendishness never surpassed in Indian annals—eyes being gouged out with red hot pokers and slow fires built to prolong the vietim’s torture—in one in- stance to four hours. This story of savagery has a familiar sound. We have heard it for four years from across the seas, different in detail, but the same in the bestial and ferocious spirit displayed. But the Hun we are told, was indoctrinated by his masters with a belief in frightfulness. Whence comes ours? A distinction is to be made, to be sure. The vie- tims of American frightfulness were charged, in most instances, with revolting crimes. But not in all, by any means, and in the horrible orgy of blood at East St. Louis the slaughter was indiscriminate, cloaking itself with no exeuse. And we Illinoisans have in addition to remember that our own state capitol, the home of Abraham Lincoln, has witnessed scenes scarcely less atrocious, Surely, the hour has struck for us Americans to [east the beam out of our own eye if we would see | clearly to cast the mote of our brother’s eye, in whatsoever corner of the earth he may live. Racial antipathies have aceounted for most of the blood which drenched the pages of history, and that be- tween the white and the black is perhaps the most deep-seated of all. But until we exorcise this devil our preachment of the gospel of equal rights may at any time be re- buked by the ery, even from the lips of the blood- stained Turk, ‘‘Judge not lest ye be judged !’-— Chicago Evening Post.

MILWAUKEE, - WISCONSIN PREPARE FOR THE VICTORY AND THANKSGIVING LOAN When the Victory Libery Loan is announced by the Treasury De- partment in a Hee aces tisalto. day, Americans will have probab- ly their last opportunity to ob- tain the best investment in the world at a price which gives them half again as much interest as they used to receive from the sav- ings banks. With the Treaty of Peace only a few weeks or months away, it is a certainty that the Government will be able very soon to obtain money on better terms than prevailed during the war. That is a good reason why every sensible American should be mak- ing plans now for liberal subscrip- tions to the coming Vietory Loan. It is generally thought in finan- cial cireles that — government bonds, based on national wealth and revenues, with the ordinary tax exemptions that they carry are the best securities for banks, trust companies, insurance corpor- ations, and endowment funds of all kinds, Generally these seeuri- ties pay a very low rate of inter- est, because there is no risk in holding them. This war has given the Ameri- can people investment opportuni- ties that may not be equalled in generations. Fortunately 23,000- O00people have had the good sense to see this and they have bought the first four Liberty Loan issues out of their savings bank aceumu- lations and by laying aside every week or month part of their salar- ies and wages. Some persons did not buy enough of the early Lib- erty Bonds and they might now have trouble in obtaining them, if they should try to pick them up in the bond market. The Government is going to give everybody one last chance to stow away saved-up money where neither robbers nor swindlers ean touch it. To finish paying war ex. penses, the U. S. Treasury will put out in the spring the fifth and probably the last issue—the Vie- tory and Thanksgiving Liberty Loan, as Seeretary Glass calls it. ‘The terms of this loan probably will be a little better than those on which the Fourth Loan was floated. It will be very foolish tc neglect this last chance to become a Government Bondholder. There is no money so sweet as that which comes in by the “coupon-elipping route.” Every American ought to be regular saver by this time. Ther is evidence that at least a thire of the total population are saving money. With the country on the way to “bone dry” and every body trained in economy and sav ing, nothing hould prevent a won derful oversubeription of the Vie tory Tiberty Loan. If you have not started a fam ily budget or adopted a regulat saving scheme, now is the time te do it. Only a little time remain: to save up money or your firs' payment on the new Liberty bond: of the Victory and Thanksgiving issue. You will regret it all you life if you miss this good chanes to become a real Investor in th Future of the United States. A. W. KNIGHT & co.

Dear Sir: Just a word through the columns of your esteemed paper concerning one of our leading race families, Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Moore. They are indeed a credit to our city. Mr. and Mrs. Moore were the first to subscribe $25.00 to the furnace fund of St. Mark's A. M. E. church. These progressive people recently purchased a home at 1012 29th street, which is being rented for a profitable monthly income. Mrs. Moore is a Past Officer of the Esther Household and a faithful member, while Mr. Moore is a K. of P. and prominent Odd Fellow. Would that the race would take this advance example of the Moores.
