On the first day of February, A. D. 1865,
the 18th amendment to the constitution
Of the United States was proposed to
the 3sth Congress by the Hon. John B.
Henderson, senator from Missouri. On
the 18th day Of December Of the same
year the amendment was proclaimed
ratified by the Hon. William II. Seward,
Secretary Of State, thus abolishing
slavery and all forms Of involuntary
servitude, except for crimes, etc. By
this benefeent act Of universal free
dom over four million Of Colored peo-
pie in the United States were given
bodily emancipation. Ignorant poor
and debased by $50 years of the worst
system of human slavery the world has
ever witnessed, they faced the dawn Of
freedom with a resolute determination
to measure up to the requirements Of
their new responsibilities. How well
the race has met the requirements of
freedom and citizenship can best be told
or portrayed by concrete evidences Of
their achievements and development.
In 1915 the former slaves win have
been emaneipated just fifty years; a
short period, indeed, in the life and
history of a race or people. Neverthe-
less, these years are fraught with won
derful meaning to the former slaves
and their descendants, because Of the
things they have accomplished and the
obstacles they have overcome.
As a race they have constantly been
on trial and too frequently the pre-
sumptions have all been against them.
They have been forced, therefore, to
work out their own salvation as it
were, not only with fear and tremb-
ling, but with a consciousness that the
world at large has but meagre hnowl-
edge of their struggles, their develop
ment and their achievements.
The transition from slavery to free
dom is always a critical period in the
progress and development of a race.
A combination of unfavorable cireum-
stances has made this period doubly
trying to the emaneipated people of
this country.
The standard by which their eff
cheney and their achievements are
measured, is that represented by the
ripest culture and development Of
Caucasian Civilization. In meeting
this severe test their friends have often
expected too much of them, while their
enemies have met every attempt on
their part to enter into the full enjoy
ment of a freeman's estate, with hos
tile legislation, bitter denuneiation and
the spreading Of race hatred and pref
udiee throughout the world,
Viewed. therefore, in the light of
their peculiar condition and environ
ment, their achievements in their social
life, their educational and literary de-
velopment and in the fields of me-
ehsnieal arts and constructive genius,
have a more inspiring significance and
should attract more attention than
those Of any other race or people in
the world.

TO PLAY BASE BALL TODAY FOB
THE BENEFIT OF TIE OH
FOLKS HOME.


FOLKS HOME.
One Of the very ereditable efforts
at self help is the baseball game to be
played by the doctors and dentists
Of Chicago for the Old Folks Home at
Rube Fosters Base Ball Park this
afternoon at 18th Street and Went
worth Avenue. It is the theme of
all Chicago, that the Old Folks Home
is too small. lacking in many respects
the amplitude of accommodating more
than q dozen or so.
The Doctors and Dentists have been
praetieing for several months, getting
in shape for this great society event.
It is regarded by the citizens general
ly that this demonstration for such
q worthy cause should. meet with the
most hearty approval and patronage.
Chicago Negroes do some very
colossal things when they make up
their minds. This effort on the part
Of the professional men and women of
Chicago, while It is new and novel,
promises to be the sure and certain
big hit Of the season from the purely
social point Of view. The success OF
50 noble and sacrificing project from
the ethical and business points Of
view, is to say the least greatly en-
cOuraging, for it win bring into life
much Of the appreciation, energy and
cooperation Of the entire social fabric
Of the race.
The hundreds Of clubs societies and
fraternal bodies, business, banking, real
estate, insurance and divers Of others
Of the great industrial activities which
have become the period Of boast Of
the race.

Down in Los Angeles the members Of
the COlored forum club are up in arms
against women who wear slit skirts, and
to show their utter contempt for
