NEGRO VOTERS ORGANIZE lNDE.
PENDENT LEAGUE.

An enthusiastic meeting of
colored voters of st Clair coun-
ty was held at Fraternal last
Sunday afternoon to take into
consideration their present con-
dition and future course.
An organization was formed to
be known as the St. Clair County
Negro Political Leagne. The
officers of the League are: Pres
ident. John E. Eubanks; vice
president. w. H. H. Pitts; secre-
tary, Joseph Moxley; correspond
ing secretary, A. D. Woods.
treasurer, James Robinson; ser.
geanl at arms, J. L. Nifo~ g.
Another meeting will be held
next Sunday afternoon at which
more perfect arrangements will
be made.
The following resolutions we're
adoped, which are to the point
and fully explain the objects of
Ino organizations:
Whereas, We, the ,colored
voters OF St. Clair county, have
waited patiently but in vain. for
some show of recognition from
our republican friends whom we
have blindly supported many
years too long. and
Whereas, We have grown old
in the rear ranks of that party;
our heads have become hoary
and our shoulders stopped under
the weight of promises made
just before election to 'get the
boys in line,'' and
Whereas our representation to
conventions has been contin-
ually reduced in spite of the fact
that our growth in population
been on the increase. and
Whereas We have been re-
moved from every committee in
this city and congressional dis
trict, thereby leaving us without
representation in the party coun-
ellis. and
Whereas, We, together with
all other good Americans, oppose

President RooseveIt's S review OF
the situation, with special refer.
ence to the ensuing Congress
elections. 1t is a very able re.
view of what has been accom-.
plished in Legislation by the last
Congress. The President wants
the Republican majority in Con.

good work it has done and to en-.
able him to get the further legis.
latlon need to make effective The
the general policy which he has
formulated with regard to cor.
porations, labor unions and the
Panama Canal
we are sure that the Afro Am.
erlcan people will note with in
terest how completely they and
their rights have passed out of
the policy of the Republican par
te. In the Presidents statement
OF what Congress has accom-.
pllshed in the past two years and
what he hopes to have it accom-
piish in the next two years. 1t
IS very clear that the Afro Amer
lean and his rights are no longer
a part OF the policy of the Repub-
ilcan party The wrongs which
nave been hitched upon him in
disfranchisement. separate ac
commodations by land and water.
separation in public schools. and
infamous miscegenation laws, by
the Southern Democratic oligar
chy; the Republican party simply
accepts these wrongs of the

which the party has no concern
at all.

language of silence that he must

1t may be held by some logici-
ans that, if the president makes
special appeals for the Negro
race other than other races. that
that would be, for that very fact.
class legislation, and that, as the
Negro is an American citizen anv
thing and everything, done or
said, for the moral, intellectual
or commercial welfare of the
country, includes tn Negro as
matter of fact. Such logic
would hold good but for this fact:
there is constantly especial legis.

no other race is the victim, hence
the annihilation of the above log
ic. We expect these special

MADE BY THE STATE BANK
Notable Improvement and Equipment
With Every Modern Con-
venience

The State bank of Rock Island has
received from Holabird & Roche. the
Chicago architects, the preliminary
plans for the new office building which
is to replace the rear of the present
Mitchell e Lynde structure.
The old building is to be taken down
entirely and four-story structure tC
conform with the front will be built
on the site.
The new structure is to be better
than anything in this section. There
will be two fast electric elevators, in
stead of the present hydraulic eleva
tor. There will be Offices on the first
floor to be entered from east and west
Seventeenth streets on the street lev
el, while all the upper floors will like
wise be devoted to Offices. The feat
ure of furnishing pure water from the
banks own artesian well, which has
been such an attraction in the past
will be continued in the new block
eliminating the chance of muddy wa
ter from the city mains.
Banks To he Enlarged.
The changes also involve the extern
sion of the present quarters of the
State bank and Rock Island Savings
bank, which are now inadequate, to
include the present room occupied by
Reidy Bros, and the existing CORR
dor.
The new corridor will be in the room
extending from East to West Seven
teenth streets recently occupied by an
express company A door will be cut
in the corridor, enabling tenants of
the block to enter either bank without
going out of doors.

PRESIDENT JAMES is HEARD
Encourages Work Done by High
School Students

President Edmund J. James of the
State University of Illinois, addressed
the high school students this morning.
He was here several years ago after
the school building was destroyed by
fire, and Broadway Presbyterian
church was in use by the pupils. The
spirit with which the fine structure
was built upon the ruins was likened
to that now predominant in San Fran
cisco. The fact that AZ per cent of the
students are boys was an encouraging
sign to him, and in some advice to the
body he told them that more would be
required of them in the next % years
than had been required of their par
ents in the last quarter century.

Messrs. Holabird & Roche, archi-
tects of the new building, are the ar
chitects of the Chicago Tribune build
ing, Marquette building, new Monad-
mock. new Auditorium. including Palm
room, and the county building now in
course of construction in Chicago.
The changes in the front building
will not be attempted until the new
building is completed.
The peculiar situation of this block,
with paved streets on all sides. yields
ample light. and this will be taken ad-
vantage of to the full in the new con-

ment later" said the evangelist. He
urged also that greater respect be
required for things sacred, and con-
trasted the difference in this respect
between the present and the past.
| He urged three things, however, as
of the greatest Importance in the max
| ing of the Christian home; first, that
| more time be given to home compan-
| ionship; second, that more care be
given concerning the manner of lives
the parents live; and third, that a
more direct effort be made to, bring
dear ones to Christ.
COmpanionshin I'm Home.
"Companionship in the home would
be worth more to your boy or girl than
the fortune that you are trying to lay
up for them. 1t would make the home,
as it should be, the merriest, dearest
place on earth, and unless the chill
dren find these qualities in the home,
they seek them elsewhere" The speak
er, half humorously, and yet seriously,
referred TO the use of the rod, saying,
TRY to inoculate goodness, as well as
whip badness out, and do not keep
birch rod behind the MOTTO L need
thee every hour as is sometimes the
case"
In speaking of the necessity of a
clean life in the parents, the evangel-
;st declared that "the way we live is
damning those that We would in our
better moments save. and the Chris
ton who goes wrong is a greater detri-
ment TO the cause of religion than the
worst infidels that live 1t is not so
bad if you yourself refuse salvation,
and go to hell, but you drag your chill
dren down with you, by swimming into
the currents of social dissipation, I'M
godliness, and sin, dragging them to
depths from which they can not re-
turn when you see fit to draw back to
the haven

active interest in the spiritual welfare
of the home circle, pleading that the
present opportunity be embraced tOI

Home is hardly what it once was

little comfortable dwelling has gone
before the fiat, and even the brown
stone palace of the rich has become
little more than a quick lunch house
and lodging place." said Dr. BiederwoIf
who opened the central revival meet
ings last night at the Rink, in introduce
ton. I'VE have now not only the
strenuous life, but almost the frenzied
life, and III our frenzy to attain the
pleasures of the world and the worlds
material things, we neglect the more
important duty of the home and the
spiritual welfare of its members.
When you realize that your children
who live without Jesus Christ are on
their way TO hell itself. then all other
things of seeming Importance shrink
into the background, and the effort to
save the loved ones is doubled"
