PRESIDENT WILSON DID NOT
ENDORSE THE birth OF A
NATION PHOTO PLAY.

The reports circulated in Boston and
other places that President Wilson gave
his endorsement to the film play, "The
Birth of a Nation" are without foun-
dalton, as was disclosed during a visit
10 the white house this week by Bishop
Alexander Walters and former Assis-
tant Attorney-General William n.
Lewis. Mr.. Lewis was detailed by a
committee of Boston Colored citizens to
inquire into the matter and Bishop
Walters accompanied him to the white
house. 1t will be remembered that this
moving picture alleged to show mp the
Negro in a vicious light has been OBJ
jected to by our people in every city
where an attempt has been made to
exhibit it, and in Boston the indigna-
ton of the race reached a climax. Sec
rotary Tumulty received the distin-
guished visitors with great courtesy
and denied that the President has
given any endorsement to the obnoxious
film. The secretary showed the bishop
and Mr.. Lewis letter to Representa-
tive Thatcher, Of Massachusetts,, saying
that while the picture was once shown
at the white house as a compliment to
a former elass-mate Of the President 3,
the President was unaware Of its char
aeter and has at no time expressed any
appreciation of it. This information
will be repeated officially to the Col
ored people of Boston, who sent Mr..
Lewis to Washington to find out the
facts in the case. The owners Of the
film win be requested to omit any fur
Their use of the Presidents name in
with the advertisement Of
the picture.

HON. JOHN sTELK.

Hon. John Stelk, one of the Demo
cratic candidates for Judge of the Cir
cult Court, being an honored and popu-
lar German-American citizen should as
sure his election to that honored posi-
tion on the bench on this coming Mon
day, June z, with the same or large
majority which he received last fall in
his successful race or election as one
of the Judges Of the Municipal Court,
and as one of its Judges he has made
good at all times.
Judge Stelk who is a high grade
gentleman at all times and an able
lawyer started in in 1888 as an office
boy with Gross and King, lawyers and
remained with them until 1899, and
from that time up until he was elected
one of the municipal Judges he was en-
gagged in the active practice of the law
on his own hook with law Offices in
the Reaper Block, corner of Clark and
Washington streets.
For years he was the personal attor-
ney for former sheriff Michael thinner
and for Anton J. Cermak, Chief Bail
if of the Municipal Court, all the lead
ing daily newspapers in this city highly
commended him to the voters at the last
election and at the present time they
are speaking Of him in the highest
terms for Judge of the Circuit Court.
He is an honored member Of the
Chicago Bar Association, Lawyers As
ISOLATION of Chicago, Chicago Law In
stitute, Illinois Bar Association, Ana
eriean Bar Association, and many other
societies and substantial organizations.
Judge stelk is happily married and re-
sides with his family at 2711 West
2srd street, in the 18th Ward, and his
great army of friends both White and
Colored should eheerfully assist to put
him over at the Judicial election Mon

A demand has been made by the cit
liens of Cook county for John D. Far
ren, Of the law firm Of Farrell &
Thompson, for Judge of the circuit
court.
No lawyer in Chicago is better or
more favorably known among the
working people than John D. Farrell.
Before becoming a lawyer he was
employed in the machine shop and com
ing from the working class as he does,
his experience gives him an advantage
of knowing their joys and sorrows,
their likes and dislikes.
Mr.. Farrell was one Of the original
Thompson men and in the mayoralty
campaign did much to arouse interest
and secure the support of union labor
for the new mayor.
Mr.. Farrell is well known and will

undoubtedly lead the ticket. He has
been endorsed by a large number of
organizations for judge who have vol.
UNFAIRLY offered to canvass the entire
county in his behalf.
Mr.. Farrell is one Of the people, and
coming from the people, he will be
good, honest, fair and upright judge.
No better man can be found for Judge
than John D. Farrell. You won't be
afraid to trust your case in his hands.
His broad training and great legal sbil-
ity make him an ideal candidate and
should have the honest support of all
classes.
He is big in body, big in mind, and
big in heart, and by your vote for the
''nOn-partisan" judges you will do
your duty as q citizen and a man.

honor of his national flag. And this
is just what he or any American eiti-
zen ought to do, no more could be ex-
peeted of him and no less. For he is an
American citizen This is his country,
which has given birth, to ten millions
Of his people. he has invested over
500, 100000 dollars in property. The
children of his bosom, have been edu-
Gated in her schools. Surely it will
be protected by him, to the latest
breath, and to the extent of loosing
the last drop of blood in his mortal
being. And whyf Because, he knows
that these are his people, this is his
country; and where they dieth, there
will he be buried also, he has always
felt the realization of this motto:
"Greater Love hath, no man than this;
Than for a man to lay down his life
for the brethern," and this Glove
your enemies" EDO good unto those
who despitefully, use you and abuse
you" Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in heaven "
But some has said that it is a military
crime to have men trust upon a scene
of conflict, without being trained. As
the Colored brother is now in the south
land, because some citizens in that sec
ton Of the country think otherwise.
How long win the American people, al
low their color prejudiees, to blind their
sense of Christian honesty. And allow
the Negro of the South, to get the same
military training in the south land, as
he has in the north land. So that he
can truthfuIly protect all citizens Of

be necessary for his election; his rec

PREPAREDNESS OF OUR CITIZEN
soLDIERY.

Since the question Of preparedness, is
raised as to the readiness and military
training Of our citizen soldiers: We
believe it not to be out Of place, but
is in keeping with the good breeding
of gentlemen, to discuss one phase of
the situation, which we never publicly
discuss. And that is the unprepared-
ness of our Colored citizen soldiery, in
this country, most especially in the
southland, where he is not permitted to
even look at rife, join q military or
ganization, or even think Of becoming
q soldier; yet in the face Of this very
truth, If the worse came and the crisis,
arose; he would be expected, just as
sure as you are q foot high, to answer
the call of his country, just the same
as his White brothers, in the south
who have had every opportunity given
them for this preparedness. Some OF our
Americans who have been thinking hon.
estly, soberly, and seriously about our
military strength and preparedness, do
not now and never have in the past,
considered the Negro soldier, as an Am
oriesn factor, in our military progress

HEALTH NOTES,

1t is important that people who live in
large cities and under the conditions of
modern city life, should be kindly, con-
siderate and neighborly. This simply
means that we should try to be as con-
siderate of our neighbors' comfort as
We would that they be considerate Of
ours.
Many Of the complaints that reach
the Department are due entirely to the
fact that people are no eonsiderate of
their neighbors' comfort and safety.
Here in substance is compliant that
came to the Department Just the other
day. It is fair sample of complaints
IF this kind; though in this particular
Instance the complainant had suffered
long without protest. The writer Of
the letter is a woman who complains
that her neighbor, who evidently lives
Just across the court or narrow area
way, throws all kinds Of dirty water
into the areaway. Sometimes kitchen
refuse is mixed with it, which falls on
the COMPLAINANT window sills, splashes
up her window and in warm weather
when her windows are open, some of it
runs on her dining room floor.
The complainant says that she has
endured this in silence during the
winter months, but now that the warm
weather is coming when she would like
to have her windows open, she feels
she cannot stand this sort Of unjust and
unneighbOrly treatment any longer.
1t is easy to see that complaint Of
this kind need never be made, except
where people are either so selfish,
thOughtless or ignorant that they have
neither knowledge nor the desire to
treat their neighboTs as they would like
to be treated themselves. As a rule peo-
plea do not like to complain of their
neighbors. In most cases people viii
suffer in silence rather than send IN
complaints to the authorities. And this
is why thoughtless, careless people keep
On doing the things that cause their
neighbOrs so much annoyance and dis
comfort. There is no doubt, however,
but the great big factor in securing
community comfort and safety is the
intelligent cooperation of the people in
being thoughtful and considerate of
their neighbors' comfort and safety. By
doing this we can reasonably hope that
the treatment they accord to others viii
be extended to them.
