"The Girl at the Kew"

Modern realism plays a strong part
in the success of this interesting
photoplay, for wireless is the key to
the offering, as may readily be judged
by the title. A financier dislikes the
man his daughter has fallen in love
with, and accordingly does every
thing in his power to prevent the
match.
This picture, made by the Thomas
E. Edison Film Company and two other
good subjects will be shown at the

Beauregard F. Moselsy a Strong Can
didAte.

Atty A. l.. Williams writes:-Pol-
tieians. laymen, business men and priv
ate citizens all vie with one another
in eomplimenting the Editor and Pub
Usher of this paper upon the part he
has taken in the formation of the Ne
gro Press Bureau of Chicago and the
manly stand in resenting the political
methods of the white bosses in naming
without the consent or approval OF the
Negro Press or any respectable element
of the Negro Race, some Negro to rep
resent the Race upon the Republican
ticket. simply because he chances TO be
a favOrite of theirs. 1t is not the
purpose of this paper to do any man an
injury. it seeks rather, to be Of ma
terial benefit to all men and in taking
the stand that il has and in Advocating
the nomination and election of Mr..
Beauregard +. MOSeley for County Com
missioner: il believes that il is doing
the best for all of the citizens of the
CITY Of Chicago and particularly the
Negro Race. The habit that has grown
up in this community on the part of
politicians of ignoring the Negro Press
must be condemned and prevented. No
one would think of running for any
office in any community of Jews or of
Germans or of eaucasians without the
endorsement and approval of the Press,
in fact the politicians have been so
licitouS of seeking men for nominations
who meet the approval of the daily
Press of this City and vet when it
comes to making selection OF a Negro
TO represent the Negro the self same
politicians have absolutely refraincd
from even requesting an opinion from
the Negro Press of the city but has
rapririously named some weakling of
their own liking; therefore it is re-
freShing to receive assurances from
leading elergymen. private citizens,
business and professional men, approx
ing of our effort to put stop to this
outrage upon the Negroes and the fol
lowing letter from Attorney \. l.. Will
Jams, which we herewith publish As a

THE CoLoRED PRESS BUREAU OF
CHICAGO.

Chicago, February 2u. 1912.
Gentlemen
read with pride and commentator
your article referring to the eandi-
dates on the Republican ticket. of our
Race, who are seeking the nomination
for County Commissioner at the April
primaries. ! highly agree with your
views on the subject: too. think that
the republican party should at least
try and give us a representative man,
whom we could approve of after the
selection had been made. There were
several names / understand before the
Committee, some were professional men.
some business men and the most of
them, men of some worth in the ma.
terial welfare of life, but disregarding
all of those characters and essential
they seem TO have thought it wisest to
have given US n man that was the
least known among the voters. We had
no one of our Race on the Committees
neither the County Central or the One
Hundred, as they saw fit in their wise
judgment, to select the one they did.
/ think that your plan IS a wise one,
and should be followed by every voter
of color in the city of Chicago. 1 be-
lieve Mr.. b. F. Moseley the candidate
that you have endorsed meets of the
essentials which are lacking in the
Republican slate candidate. and with
wise judgment with our votes We can
nominate him. BY doing this we will
place a stamp of disapproval on the
continuous disregard to the feelings
and sentiments of our Race, in such Sc
leetions as the committee made at the
last convention, 1 remain,
Yours very respectfully,
A. L. WILLIAMS.

NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS DAY
ON APRIL %.
Over $4,000 Sermons Preached in 1911-
tuberculosis Death Rate High
Among Church Members.

Sermons on the prevention of con-
sumption will be preached in thousands
of churches on April 2s, which the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. according
to an announcement made to-day, has
set aside Tuberculosis Day.
Last year out of 100000 churches in
the United States, over $4,000 observed
tuberculosis Day, and millions of
churchgoers We're told about this dis
ease from the pulpit. This year will
be the third observation of tuberculosis
Day. Plans are being made to have
the Gospel of Health preached more
widely than ever before.
The movement will be pushed through
the 600 anti-tuberculosis associations
allied with the National Association
and through the boards of health,
women 5 clubs, and other organizations
in hundred of cities and towns through
out the country. Through these various
bodies the churches will be reached and
interested in the tuberculosis campaign.
According to reports gathered by the
National Association in 1911, practical
Iy 10 per cent of all deaths in church
congregations are caused by tuber
culosis. In a study of $4,000 com
municants of 725 churches in which
there were 1000 deaths in 1910, the
death rate among these church-members
was found to be 2.24 for every THOUSAND
communicates. This is higher than the
rate for the Registration Area of the
United States which was LOO in 1910.
"While these Statistics saws the
National Association, "are not cOmpar-
able from the point of view of accuracy
with those of the Bureau of the Census,
sufficient credenee may be given to
them to indicate that one of the most
serious problems the ordinary church
has to consider is that of the devasta-
tion of its membership by tuberculosis.
Every minister in the United States |
should give this subject some attention
during the week preceding or that fol- |
lowing April 80
