)AN'T you get right down to
statistics to show that mar
rying on $500 a year Is not
an easy proposition? Sup
pose you took four-room un-
furnished apartment. which would
be about the cheapest thing you
could do. since it saves water tax
and coal bills. You would probably
have to pay $40 . month, making
$3.50 year. Food will cost at least
$50 a month more, adding another
$3.50 and bringing the total up to
$T0 Gas bills are $50 more. and
you have $50 to cover the cost of
dress, travel, doctors bills, medi-
cines. the theater, contributions to
church and charity, magazines and
dentists bills, to say nothing of
stationery. stamps and incidental
gifts.
All the economy and all the love
in the world can't escape those
hard facts. You have not counted
on the fact that you will have to
buy furniture and ought to save up
something for rainy day. Setting

"This administration has been MAX

the civil service of Chicago and to
turn the city hall into hell-hole of

to whip us into line by acts of law

Both Aid. Richert and Captain

constituted committee of two who
were endeavoring to get the admin

REPUBLICANS MAKING GOOD.

According to the promises made for
election, the position of messenger
which has heretofore been held by
Democrat, has been given to a Re
publican in the person of ]. w. Jack
son, by our Governor Geo. A. Carlson.
Now that the ice has been broken, tho
many Republican newspaper men
kept the predecessor in office, Negro
Republicans, can confidently look for
their just share of the spoils. Now
watchmans job in the. Bureau OF
Mines has been promised to be given
us and a clerical position in the Sec
retary of States office. We cannot
understand why these things are not
done, as the past election is over and
it is about time to line up for an
other election. We congratulate Mr.
Jackson upon his appointment and
trust that the new messenger will be
efficient, polite. courageous and true
to his own. Governor Carlson is be-
ing highly spoken of by several OF
the colored people as fair and
square man, even if he is little

Los Angeles, Cal.-Rev. Lewis c.
Sheafe, valued elder of the Seventh
Day Adventist denomination, demon
strated his pluck and manly courage
recently when he withdrew from the
southern California conference of the
denomination he has served so long
and faithfully on account of its doc
trine bearing upon the color line. Dur
ing the past year Elder Sheafe founded
in Los Angeles splendid church. The
members of this church also withdrew
from the conference and passed ringing
resolutions setting forth the reasons
for their action.
The name of the church founded by
Rev. Mr.. Sheafe is the Berean Seventh
Day Adventists church. Since its sew
erance from the conference it is now
known as the Free Seventh Day Ad-
ventists' church, with Rev. Lewis C.

The action Of the Rev. Mr.. Sheafe
and his members is regarded as an
event of great historical importance.
The trouble grew out of the fact that

Protection League Recognized.

Protection League Recognized.
True to his promise of substantially
recognizing the selection of the COL
ored Protective League and despite
the many baneful things said to the
contrary about DR.. w. H. Sharpley as
candidate. Mayor Sharpley not only
fittingly recognized the league who
fought SO valiantly for him, but also
refuted by his action the unjust
things said by his enemies. When
the time came and an appointment
was to be made, the mayor acted. we
sincerely trust that in the very near
future a way can be made wherein
another appointment, that of J. j.
Manuel, will be made by the mayor.
DR.. Spratlin went to work FRIDAY
morning in the health department
and the colored people are very much
pleased because of Mayor Sharpley's
good favor. This appointment is the

the elders as inspired writing. Mrs.
Ellen G. White, the author, was, ac-
cording to the elders of the Seventh

In this denomination.
Although her work lacks literary
merit, she has written some excellent
things about the Bible. Her arguments.
however, are wanting in orderly ar
rangement and progressive and Logical
presentation. and they are especially
grievously offensive when treut ting the
color question. Rev. Mr.. Sheafe was
asked II he believed all Of the '"Testi-
monies," and he frankly avowed that
he did not and gave his reasons as fol.
lows:
THE Testimonies teaches racial dis
crimination and does not harmonic
with the Bible" We quote: From Aus
tralia, across the broad waters Of the
Pacific. cautions were sent that every
movement must be guarded. that the
workers were to make no political
speeches and that the mingling OF
whites and blacks in social equality
was by no means to be encouraged.
In regard to white and colored
people worshiping In the same build
ing, this cannot be followed as q gen.
eral custom. The best thing will be tt
provide the colored people with places
of worship of their own, in which they
can carry on their services by them
selves"
This is the doctrine Of separation and
is Numerically opposed to this authors
teaching I'm her earlier writings. On
page 2O2 Of this sacred" book the nu-
thor declares that but for several rea.
sons white men must be chosen rs lead
ers." This means that, however capa.
bic. no colored man can lead In this de
nomination. This. with other senti.
uents in the Testimonies" proved
Jlore than this heroic body Of Christian
workers could stand; hence they with.
drew
