AS.TO MORE NEGRO DOCTORS
From the Post
Four thousand more Negro doc
tors are needed to preach the gos-
pei of health to their race, stated
Booker Washington in an optimistic
talk to the medical students of How
ard University. This would more
than double the number of Negro
doctors now practicing, but the
speaker held that his race had a
right to be ministered to by doctors
of their own color; that the present
preponderance of white doctors was
neither fair nor just.
Now, nobody disputes the right
of a Negro to practice medicine;
nobody disputes the right of Negroes
to employ his services. However,
there is room for doubt that 4oco
more Negro doctors would find the
demand and reward for their labors
considerable enough to pay expenses
to keep themselves alive. An indie
hnable something resides in the
breed that disinclines the Negro to
give countenance and patronage to
members Of his own race who open
a store or an Office. Whether this
peculiar form of the boycott is a
survival of the full dependence of
the Negro upon the dominant race
in slavery days or. to some more
deeply seated cause is for the 'oIo-
gists to tell US, our province going
no further than to point to the effect
to the fact that Negroes who would
better their position too often have
the bitter experience of seeing their
fellows, and particularly the better
element, pass them by and enter the
stores and offices of the whites.
Though they are twelve millions
or more never have they been able
to detach themselves from the whites
in sufficient numbers and length of
time to establish a sizable colony or
populate a city. This holds good,
too, for ambitious business enter
prises they have embarked in, all
sorry failures owing to a lack of
oOhesiveness and cooperation, which
! DR.. Washington and others who are
, devoting their lives to the "uplift"
must preach down and out before
they can reasonably anticipate the
happiest results from sending 4ooo
doctors into field that now yields
poor returns to those already there.

.CH|CAGO'S ORGY
MAY. Be STOPPED
Mayor Busse Seriously Consid.
ering Refusal of Permit for
First Ward saturnalia

Chicago, Dec. 1.-Chicago's saturn
ALA of the under world, the First
ward ball, which has been given for
eleven consecutive years and is an
nounced for Monday evening, pecem-
ber 13, this year, at the Coliseum, is
wayering on the brink of oblivion, as
Mayor Busse declared today he was
seriously considering refusing a per-
NIT for the affair. The ball is the We
hicle for the levy of tribute from vice
in the First ward, the richest vice dis
trict in the world. There are no day
to-day or weekend collections of tri-
butte in the First ward.
The ball rewards the two aldermen
Michael Kenna and John ]. Cough
.lin-for their services, and the net
profits of the night run close to $780,
600. Alternately each one is said to
take the big end of the $4,000 to pay
election expenses. This year the win
ner's end Of the purse goes to Bath
house" John. who is up next spring
for reelection to the seat which he
has held for many years in the city
council. Price of admission, hither-
to so cents, has been raised to 81
this year.
Wards Voting Strength Hit.
Need Of the political support of the
Democratic First ward has been the
potent argument in favor of permit
ting the two aldermen's collection
night orgy. Mayor Busse does not
recognize any political need or have
any desire to cater to the sentiment
He has already dealt a body blow
at the voting strength of the. two al
dermen through the order of Chief Of
Police Stewart that the men must not
be connected with the hundreds Of
disorderly resorts In the south end of
the ward. Formerly the young va
grants, friends Of the woman inmates
Of these resorts. were registered for
voting purp0ses-as many as forty to
a house. All gave the disorderly re-
sorts as their residences: This year, II
they register or attempt to vote, they
will promptly be arrested for violat-
ing the police orders. i
With the voting strength Of the
ward decimated already by this move,
Mayor Buses advisers say that he
has q strong inclination to cut of fur
ther the sinews of political strength
by putting q .quietus on the ball.
