The Wisconsin Weekly Blade State Historical Library State St. A NEW RACE PUBLICATION. At last a real magazine, edited by Negroes, published by a Negro company especially for Negroes has sprung into existence almost overnight. A publishing company with headquarters in Pittsburgh, has been incorporated, having for its personelle some of the most prominent men of the race and with sufficient capital back of them to guarantee success, for the purpose of issuing the most pretentious race publication ever attempted. This new venture in the publishing field, "The Competitor" will compare favorably with Hearst's, Colliers, Metropolitan or any other of the better publications in both appearance and literary merit. Its Staff of Editors and Contributors comprises the names of many of the best known and most influential men of the race. Well known Statesmen, Educators, Churchmen and Financiali all combine to make it a publication of exceptional merit. Robert L. Vann is the editor with the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Eugene Kinele Jones and Walter S. Buchannan as Associate Editors. On the Staff of Contributors appear such names as William Anthony Aery of the Hampton Agricultural Institute, C. E. Askew of the First Baptist Church of Raleigh, N. C.; Calvin S. Brown, Principal of the Waters Normal Institute; Romeo L. Dougherty, the Dramatic Critic and Journalist of New York; Hon. William Henry Harrison of Chicago, Ill.; John R. Hawkins, Educational Secretary of the A. M. E Church; James Weldon Johnson, Author and Field Secretary N. A. A. C.; J. E. Jones of the Virginia Union University; R. R. Moton, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute; Prof. Kelly Millar, Dean of the Howard University; G. T. Stewart, Chaplain of the Wilberforce University; Walter J. Singleton, noted Washington journalist; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, President National Federation Women's Clubs; Hon. Robert H. Terrell, Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C.; Mary Church Terrell, the former President of the National Federation Women's Clubs; Lester A. Walton, Dramatic Critic and Journalist of New York, and America's inimitable comedian, Bert A. Williams. With this lineup of merit, talent and influence back of it there can be absolutely no doubt as to the new publication becoming at once the most influential of all the Negro periodicals in America. There is a well-defined place for it, and it will be well worthy of that place. An intensive subscription campaign is to be waged to place it in every Negro home in America, and the publishers are offering a very remunerative position to bright and intelligent ladies and gentlemen to act as its local representatives.

MADISON, WIS. BY MRS. C. M. JOSEY. After a delightful visit of three months in Augusta, Ga., being the recipient of many social functions including theater and dinner parties, auto rides and afternoon teas by the friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Josey and Dr. and Mrs. T. W. Josey, we left on the 28th of Oct. for Atlanta, Ga., where we were the house guest of Hon. and Mrs. S. W. Walker. While there, we had the pleasure of seeing many old friends and an extensive sight seeing tour over the city by the host and hostess. Hon. and Mrs. Walker and their friends made our trip one of long remembrance. From Atlanta we left for Louisville, Ky., where our friends, Prof. and Mrs. O. P. Mack were unlimited in their hospitality and courtesies to make our stay a pleasant one. On Sunday afternoon we went for a sight seeing tour of the city. In the party were Miss Allie L.

On the eve of our departure Prof. and Mrs. Mack invited thirty-five of Louisville's elites at a reception in our honr. Here the genuine hospitality, democratic spirit and fashionable gowns were displayed. The guests vied each with the other to make the occasion one of much merriment. Prof. and Mrs. Mack were at one time residents of Madison. They are now prominent, progressive and substantial citizens of Louisville.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE. BY A. J. LONG. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 9.—The Sunday forum held its regular meeting at Mount Zion Baptist church, Seventh and State Street, and despite the inclementity of the weather there was a goodly number present and a most interesting and instructive program was rendered. The welcome address was tendered by Mrs. Coppage, wife of the pastor of the church. Miss Dale responded in behalf of the forum whose appreciation she eloquently expressed the Rev. Boyd C. Winchester made explicit the meaning of the forum, its alms, its workings and the good to be accomplished by such an organization. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted, the roll call was answered by a response from each member in the nature of a quotation, either from the scripture or one's favorite author or poet. The program which followed was very interesting, though not lengthy there was no lack of eloquence from those who constituted the same. Prominent among those who spoke or rendered numbers on the program were Miss Smith whose paper on "The great man of today," was very commendable and received many applause. Mr. J. Alexander's address in substance was "the unrest of the Negro of today," he spoke of the journalism of the race and the failure of so many of our people to support the Negro Press which is most essential as a mouthpiece and advancement of our cause. The Rev. Boyd C. Winchester delivered a lengthy and most eloquent address on the "accomplishments of the Negro as a race." He spoke of how the individual Negro was launched in various vocations of life with self as one's greatest thought. He advised union of thought and labor as a means of accomplishing the needs of the race's advancement and success. The Rev. Coppage made the closing remarks in which he invited the forum to visit his church agal nsoon. After which all went out caring, "We were glad we came unto the house of the Lord." The Forum meets the second and fourth Sunday of each month Come out.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION By BEAUREGARD F. MOSELEY Hon. Frank O. Lowden, Illinois Candidate for President, 1920. As seen by a colored man and editor of a leading Negro Weekly of the East, "is the son-in-law of 'Uncle George' the only representative of Father Abraham Lincoln, and the next president of the United States." This is a graphic as well as a laconic statement, and causes one to reflect and consider the son-in-law of "Uncle George"; for "Uncle George" needs no introduction to the fifteen millions of Negro people in this country, for after HON. FRANK O. L M. B. HON. FRANK O. LOWDEN---THE MAN. Lincoln freed them, "Uncle George" came at once to their rescue, and no graduating class of Negroes since 1865 has been without one or more of "Uncle George's" proteges, and his diplices can now be found in every respectable home in the country, as well as in all of the professions in which the Negro is engaged. Perhaps no names are now more synonymous to friendship with the Negroes of this country than those of Abraham Lincoln and George M. Pullman. The next presidential election will hinge largely upon the vote cast by the Negro who has recently come into the north where votes are counted as cast. If the republicans are wise and nominate a man that comands the confidence of the colored voter, the republican ticket in most of the states and throughout the nation will be triumphant. If on the other hand, an unknown man, or rather a man whose attitude towards the Negro people is unknown and who has not been identified with interest, men or measures, dealing fairly with them, serious inroads by Brother Percy L. Jones is a faithful and rising young member of Arnett Lodge. He is a degree team member and is rapidly forging his way to the front. WILLIAM WOODS. P. N. G. Arnett Lodge 7455, G. U. O. of O.

Mrs. Willie Belle Clark, 330 East Thirty-third street, has been on the sick list for several days this week. Mr. E. N. Scruggs formerly sergeant in 365 infantry, is now an employee of the democrats may be made upon this new element of voting strength in the north, west and middle west, for it can be shown very vividly that under the present administration, the Negroes have received the highest wages ever paid them since their freedom by Lincoln, and that they have been given a measure of recognition in the army not heretofore accorded them, all of which is true, and yet the democratic party had no more to do with it than the visit of King Albert and Queen of Belgium, for these things were the natural result of the war, raging in Europe since 1914, and the recognition OWDEN--- THE MAN. under these abnormal conditions is not by half what it should or would have been had the country been under the control of the republican party. This will have to appear to those who are likely to be the special recipients of democratic orators and oratory, but a strong man of the Abraham Lincoln type, whose attitude towards the people is well known will have no trouble in holding the Negro vote in the north. Such a man is not difficult to find. He is in the state that gave the country Lincoln, Grant and Logan, and his name is Frank O. Lowden. He is governor of this state, and has shown an interest in all the people and a capability that will enable him to follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, and make a great president. He knows that the colored people are citizens of the country and are entitled to, and must receive opportunities to be self-sustaining. All his life he has practiced this as an associate of his father-in-law, and he can be trusted by every element of our citizenry to do his full duty by all, showing partiality to none.

CARRINGTON-SMITH WEDDING On Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, at the home of the bride, 6414 Eberhart avenue, occurred the wedding of Miss Myrtle D. Smith and Mr. Fred D. Carrington. The house was beautifully decorated in palms and autumn leaves.

Need for Old Time Patriotism Pointed Out by Armistice Day "We need a new baptism of common sense," said Robert Wild in his address at Wauwatosa's Armistice day celebration, held recently in the high school. "We need a revival of national ideals. We need a reawakening of a just and discriminating national conscience. We need the stimulus of a vivified and virile patriotism, a rededication and reconsecration to the old traditions of the republic. "No voice of self-glorification, no complacent congratulations that we are the greatest, wisest and best of nations, will help our greatness or our goodness in the smallest degree, while mobs howl and fellow human beings are outraged and violated in their persons and their rights, pursued and hunted and persecuted outside the forms and in foul violation of the law, and done to death in manner unspeakable. "Noble character, public probity, honest politics, righteous laws, conscientious labor, public spirit, social justice, the stern, self-criticizing patriotism which fosters only what is worthy of an enlightened nation, not what is unworthy—such qualities and achievements and such alone measure the greatness of a state." He dwelt upon the spirit of lawlessness that finds expression in mob rule and scathed the lynchings that have taken place in the United States. "I invite your particular attention to the statistical fact that since the United States entered the war and up to the summer of 1918, 219 Negroes have been killed by mobs, in addition to two white men, one of these being Robert Praeger. "Since 1885 between 3,000 and 4,000 cases of lynching have been reported, and in only three instances does investigation show that any lyncher was punished. I invite you to the serious contemplation of the fact that during the first ten months of the present year, 1919, sixty-three persons met death at the hands of mobs in the United States. "As the description of the horrible scenes flats across the mind's eye, we recoil horrified from the unspeakable barbary and cruelty and blood-lust of some of our fellow citizens. We read of living human bodies tied with chains to stakes, of the application of red hot pokers and flatirons, of the use of burning kerosene! We hear agonized screams rent the air! We smell the hideous stench of burning human flesh. We stand agast in unutterable horror when we see mothers lifting their children to shoulders to behold the agony of the victims, and we wonder helplessly whether on that Sabbath morning in Dyersburg, Tenn., in the shadow of two Christian churches, there came to the mind of any one of those respectable citizens the words, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto Me."—Wisconsin News. (Editor's Note: Hon. Robert Wild is a distinguished member of the Milwaukee Bar and an ex-president of the Bar Association of Milwaukee county.) Miss Sarah Winters, who has been spending the summer at her home, Columbus, O., returned this week much elated over her visit.

The harm is not in the games you play, But the price that it costs to play them. The gift that comes from a friend is dear, But the heart grows full with the giving. The flowers you send to cover a bier, Had better be sent to the living. BLADELETS. Race hatred deserves to die. No man worthy of the name ever circulates an evil report of a woman. If you are ashamed of your race strive to make it worthy of your respect. Murder is no less murder because participated in by the best citizens in an orderly manner. Did it never occur to you that the merchant who advertises in your paper will welcome your trade and treat you courteously? There is a superstition that American mob violence is in some way a different thing from the mob violence of other countries. An average of two mob-murders a week for thirty years is a heliuva record for a country boasting itself "The Land of the free and the Home of the Brave." RADICALISM. We used to think that certain of our leading men who continually harped upon and protested against discrimination and injustice were entirely "too radical;" that they ought to go quickly and modestly about their own personal affairs and by the acquisition of property and education make themselves worthy of better treatment; that if they were denied the right to occupy property owned by them in a desirable neighborhood, they purchase property elsewhere and by their own acts improve that neighborhood. And there are lots of colored people who think that now. Brown, The Trunk 206 East Main Street Lowest Prices on All Kinds But we have long since changed our views upon the subject. We think differently now. We really doubt if it is possible to be too radical in ones opposition to race hatred, discrimination and injustice. Certainly no opposition that has failed to accomplish reforms in this respect can be too radical. And after all, what is opposition to existing order of things, but Radicalism? Can he who opposes present conditions be other than radical? Conservatism is the disposition to preserve what is established—satisfaction with existing customs, things, conditions. Conservatism is the executioner of Progress. It obstructs reforms and retards the spread of civilization. Radicalism is the herald of Progress, the hand-maiden of Reform, a guide to civilization. It forced from the reluctant hand of King John at Runnymede Magna Charta; it broke the yoke of England and gave independence to the thirteen colonies and to the world a great republic. It struck from the limbs of four million human beings the galing chains of slavery and made them the possessors of their own persons, the directors of their own destiny. The amount of the $8.00.

Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, one of the most distinguished pulpit orators of the country, delivered a mighty and a justly-merited rebuke to the mob spirit and lynch-law sentiment of the south when, in an address in the Atlanta theater Monday night in behalf of the persecuted Jews in Europe he declared: "Democracy can not longer go forward as long as the world countenances lynch law and persecution, whether it be in Poland or Georgia. * * * * "Never has the world faced such a critical hour, nor the drama of human history been threatened with such a terrible climax." The spirit of intolerance, of disregard for law, the mob spirit, is identically the same wherever it is manifested. There is no difference in principle between the merciless and illegal slaughtering of Jews by a mad horde of intolerant outlaws in Poland and the lynching of a culprit by a frenzied mob of lawbreakers in this country. There is no semblance of law, of justice, nor of decency discernible in either instance; both are acts appropriate only to a system of brigandage and barbarism. No more truthful statement was ever uttered than was spoken by Dr. Jones when he said that "democracy can not go forward so long as such acts are countenanced by civilized people;" and it borders upon sacrilege for a community that tolerates lynch law or any other form of lawless persecution to profess democracy!—Atlanta Constitution. SCISSORED THOUGHTS. We want to urge upon you—every colored individual and every colored organization—the need of supporting your own race in business wherever possible. It is also your duty not only to your race, but to your son and your daughter, your brother and sister, your father and your mother, to help those business institutions which will or do give them employment. (Nashville (Tenn.) Southern Agriculturist) We need to keep in mind that the Negro is largely what we, the white people of the South, make him, and that we can most effectually cure him of the faults of which we so often complia by setting him the example of industry, of thrift, and of square dealing and by assisting him in every effort he makes to improve his condition and raise his standard of living or conduct. This new spirit is but a reflex of the great war, and it is largely due to the insistent and vigorous agitation carried on by younger men of the race. The demand in uncompromisingly made for either liberty or death, and since death is likely to be a two-edged sword it will be to the advantage of those in a position to do so to give the race its long-denied liberty. (Waterbury (Conn.) Republican) If they are good enough to be sent to Europe to fight for America, they are good enough to be treated with equality under the law in Armenia. RACINE By E. A. Thompson P. S. Improvement Lodge No. 10034, G. U. O. of O. F. On Halloween night, Oct. 31, a few broad hearted brothers of Improvement Lodge "dug down into their jeans" and gave an Oddfellow's Halloween Social at the residence of Brother Nimrod Knuckles, Worthy Treasurer of the Improvement Lodge. The Social was given in honor of the worthy wives, who so loyally responded to our call of distress, S. O. S., when so very much in need of them to help us out in giving two recent suppers to finance the Lodge Treasury. They helped us to the extent of their ability without a murmur. So we tried to show them their appreciation by giving the Social for them and just as many of their friends that they saw fit to invite. So there was quite a jolly good crowd and each one enjoyed themselves to the highest, and on their leaving congratulated the Oddfellows to the highest and thanked us for services rendered them. The gentlemen served and waited on the ladies while they sat with radiant smiles and sparkling eyes. Brothers Jim Jenkins, U. G. and William Tyson were the waiters, while Brother E. A. Thompson dished out the "good things to eat. Ice cream, cake, apples, grapes, soda pop and chewing gum was served in respective courses. (New York News) (The Negro World) The amount of the Social cost about $8.00. Given free by Brother Rev. B. R. Penn, Jim Jenkins, Walter R. Lett, Will Thomas, William Tyson, Nimrod Knuckles, Louie Gilchrist and E. A. Thompson. Believe me the Oddfellow boys are making some impression in Racine. And applications are already beginning to come in. Some day Improvement Lodge will be A No. 1. The Improvement Lodge No. 10034, gave another supper at the First Colored Baptist church, 116 Grand avenue, Racine. Quite a crowd was present, and everybody enjoyed themselves to the highest. The best service was rendered. And a plenty of good things on hand. Net receipts turned into the treasurer was $38.38. All of the boys seem to have the spirit of Oddfellowship at heart. And they are endeavoring to make Improvement Lodge second to none between Chicago and Milwaukee. Brother E. A. Thompson, P. S. is putting every effort forward to help the boys on the success. Go to it boys! With the present spirit it now existing you can know nothing else but success! Pretty soon the Improvement Lodge in Racine will have its working tools to make more hardy Oddfellows into the order. Already new applications are beginning to come in. All good material is welcome in this order. We extend a hearty invitation to the right kind of men. The Welfare Committee is looking forward to every opportunity to better the interest and welfare of Oddfellowship in the City of Racine. CHICAGO WEST SIDE NEWS.

Among the Kherrias of India a curious marriage ceremony is reported. Taking a portion of the hair of the bride and bridegroom in turn from the center of the forehead, the priest draws it down onto the bridge of the nose. Then pouring oil on the head, he watches it carefully as it trickles down the portion of hair. If the oil runs straight onto the top of their noses their future will be fortunate, but if it spreads over the forehead or trickles off on either side of the nose, ill luck is sure to follow. Their fortunes told, generally to their own satisfaction, the final part of the ceremony takes place. Standing side by side, but with faces strictly averted, the bride and bridegroom mark each other's forehead with "sindur" (vermilion). The old Egyptians also had a way of telling oil fortunes.
