Negro Death Rate
Decreases

A decrease in the death rate
among Negroes throughout the
United States of 3.4 per 1000
population occurred during the
decade from 1900 to 1910, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by
the Federal census bureau. The
report embodies the first com
plete statistics concerning negro
mortality compiled in this coun-
try.
In the fifty seven cities includ-
ed in the table, the death rate
in 1910 was 27.S and that
among whites 15.9 per 1000.
The bulletin shows that
deaths among Negroes, as COM
pared with whites, are relatively
more numerous for malaria, tub
erculosis of the lungs, pneu-
monia, and cough; whereas for
measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
cancer, appendicitis, and violent
deaths, noticeably suicide, the
distributions considerably high
er among whites.
Undoubtedly" says the bull
letin, zone of the factors which
has caused the decrease in death
rate, which decrease is almost
universal in the cities of the
South, is the increase in home
ownership among the Negroes.

The Judge will not only get
a large Colored vote, but many
white republicans who do not
draw political lines in the selec-
ton of Judges, will support him
because of his Sterling Quail
ties, his fair and impartial de-
cisions and his general AMIGA
BILE disposition.
This election comes off June
7. and there are three to be
elected. You will make no mis-
take in choosing Judge Neihaus
of the three.

Judge John M. Neihans, pres
ent Circuit Judge, of Peoria, who
was elected on his merits to
fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Judge Puterbaugh,
is a man of the highest and
best motives. He has been en-
gagged in public life for a num-
Der of years and his record for
all these years is clean and
spotless.
He has served in the legisla-
ture, practised law and was
Judge of the Court of Equity,
filling all stations with high
honor.
Now he is a candidate for the
full term of Circuit Judge which
is 6 years.
Judge Neihaus has always
been consistent friend of the
Colored people and as there is
not much politics in the Judici-
airy he always receives a large
Colored vote, which he should.
He is an impartial man and no
Colored man has ever been ill
treated or Disseminated by him,
therefore, he should be given con-
sideration and support by the
Colored people for their own
benefit more than for the benefit
of the Judge.

Henry White Addresses Amerl-

Opening Session.

The need for an additional member OF
the Presidents Cabinet, to be known
as the Secretary of Art. whose duties
shall be modelled generally after tho
officials holding such titles today under
the governments Of France and other
European nations. was emphasized TO-
day by Henry White. former ampas-
sador to Italy.
Mr.. White was the principal speak

Former Ambassador White declared
that the interest which the united
States has been inspiring as 2 world
power has increased during tne iast
twenty-five years proportionately WIN
the development Of culture among inc
citizens.
Exposition Was Start.
He called attention to the fact that
the most highly cultivated among the
nations are usually the most arustic'
and declared that the impetus from
which the art OF the United states
sprang was the Chicago Exposition OF
1899. when for the first time Amen
can artists and sculptors came into
their own.
There was a time" said the former
mbassador, when the love Of art was
deemed undemocratic. because at that
time only the wealthy could indulge
artistic tastes. But that misconception
has now been dispelled.
Art should be an accompaniment 10
the fundamental virtues OF patton
viriIity, energy. and sense OF duty.
Lacking the influence OF art. these at
tributes too often produce nation
which Is hard and dry In thought and
inspiration, as was the case Of the peo-
pie Of this country long after they be-
came a nation.
"All that America has created in the
way Of beautiful buildings. she owes to
her artistic knowledge. All that she
has created that Is ugly and repellant Is
due to lack OF such knowledge.

women were engaged, though their
operations have not become generally
known. The New York gunman. Woods
said, had branched out as a labor
