JUSTICE HOLMES MENTIONED
FOR PRESIDENT.

Boston, Mass.-In the midst of the
discussion of Republican Presidential
possibilities, the name of Justice
Charles E. Hughes of the United States
Supreme Court, has been well to the
front, his name being mentioned par
ticularly by New York Republicans.
New England Republicans are also
discussing going to the Supreme Court
bench for a candidate, namely: JUS
tice o. W. Holmes, son of DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, the famous "Auto-
crat of the Breakfast Table, The
efforts of William ]. Bryan, Senator
Vardaman, and a number of Southern
Congressman, their satellites, to stir up
sentiment favorable to the passage by
Congress of a National Prohibition
Bill, make the suggestion of Justice
Holmes timely, in view of the attitute
of his father, the genial poet, whose
attitude with reference to the whole
subject is set forth in his "Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table" series.
In reply to divinity students ques-
tion, whether he believed in a diet of
"rum" the old autocrat was quick
ened to say: "Rum I take to be the
name which unwashed moralists apply

SOME INTERESTING CoMPARI-
SONS.

New York, N. Y.-The Amsterdam
News, published here in New York
City, in the interest of the Colored
people, printed an article recently,
emphasizing the general results which
have followed the freedom permitted
persons to lawfully purchase alcoholic
drinks in large quantities despite state
laws.
The article in briefed form follows:
The ratio of increase with the adop-
ton of statewide prohibition in several
states offers a most interesting COM
parison for careful study, the figures
used being from the official record of
annual per capita consumption of
liquors.
When there were two prohibition
states lin 1s50) the per capita con-
sumption of liquor was little more
than four gallons a year.
When there were four prohibition
states lin 1sSO) the per capita con-
sumption of liquor was ten gallons a
year.
When there were seven prohibition
states lin 1s9O) the per capita con-
sumption of liquor was sixteen gallons
year.
When there were nine prohibition
states Tin 191O) the per capita con-
sumption was over twenty-five gallons
a year.
The same ratio prevailed in 1914.
One of the explanations offered for
the fact that prohibition has not had
more marked effect in the matter of
reducing the per capita consumption
of liquors is that it is lawful for per-
sons living in prohibition states to re-
ceive shipments of liquors from license
states.
For instance, the prohibition laws of
some of the Southern states provide
that each citizen may receive, lawfully,
twelve gallons of whisky year, where
as the national per capita consumption
Of whisky is only about gallon and
half.
Of the twelve prohibition states in
1915, one state, Arizona, has a law
forbidding the shipment of liquor for
any purpose. Not even has a Catholic
priest the lawful right to receive
shipment of wine for sacramental use,
nor has a physician the lawful right
to receive a shipment of spirits for
medicinal purposes.

Throughout her brief illness she bore

THE FoWLER-BowLING WEDDING.
Bid me good morning.

Wednesday evening, Jan. 10, at eight
o 'clock, Miss Katie Fowler, sister of
Mrs. Geneva Smith, 1868 South Dear
born Street, will become united in mar
rage to Prof. A. J. Bowling, assistant
pastor of the Institutional Church, and
member of the moving picture censor
ship board of Chicago.
It will be strictly home wedding,
and only few of the close friends of
the contracting parties will be on hand
to witness it. Rev. A. ]. Carey will tie
the wedding knot.
Miss Fowler represents the highest
type of young Afro-American woman
hood to be found anywhere in this
country and in every way she is worthy
to become the dutiful wife of any man.
For seven years she was employed at
the Model Cloak Co., on State, in va
rious capacities from cashier to sales
lady and she has the distinction of be-
ing the only young woman of Color to
be so employed in any of the large
stores in the downtown district. Dur
ing all the seven years she was en-
ployed there she was never late one
minute; that fact alone spoke vol
umes for her, which was readily mo-
ticed by her employer, Mr.. Kupper-
hence her promotion from time to time,
each time to better position.
It must be said to her everlasting
credit that she made friends with the
very best class of white ladies and
numbered them among her customers
without denying the fact that she was
Colored; the same thing was true as
far as the other sales ladies were con-
cerned they loved her not because she
was Colored but because she was a
woman full of keen business ideas like
unto themselves.
As an evidence of how well she was
liked by her companions, when she
gave up her position shortly after the

and presented her with a very rich and

IGNORED AGAIN,

IGNORED AGAIN.
Chicago Colored people have renewed
cause to complain against the spirit
of discrimination which constantly
works injury to their moral and civic
welfare. They are not surprised when
this discrimination comes from persons
avowedly antagonistic but it is a mat
ter of both surprise and regret when
humane and sympathetic movements
proposing work for the welfare of the
public absolutely refuses all consider
alton of Colored people. And yet this
discrimination is persistent, unreason-
able and undeserved
No matter what the civic movement
starts in Chicago for the public well
fare the result is always the same
the Colored people are ignored. Every
hyphenated nationality even the Alien
is considered-onlyt the Cclored man is
ignored. Why's Is it Indifference or
prejudice7 If it is the former is it
inexcusable if it is prejudice it dis
credits the democracy of our day and
time.
Recent manifestation of this injus-
tice is to be found in the public well
fare movements in the behalf of Grim
inals and delinquent boys. These
movements which have agitated the
public mind under direction of our
judges, police authorities and social
welfare leaders purpose extended in
vestigation of conditions which make
adult criminals and which produce bad
boys and plan constructive work for
both prevention and cure.
The movements are worthy ones and
should work for all people and with
all people. A welfare committee ap-
pointed several weeks ago contained
list of many prominent citizens and
not a Colored person was mentioned.
Later as an after-thought a Colored
person was named.
During the past ten days the "Baby
bandits" have engaged public concern
and a new movement is started to solve
the bad boy problem. The movement
results with that end in view and two
judges confer and appoint a commit
tee of sixty-seven representative citi-
zens for consultation and cooperation.
This committee apparently recognizes
every phase of our diverse citizen
ship, its membership representing vari-
Gus nationalities and persons promin-
emily identified with welfare work and
yet in all this list the Colored people
are ignored. We have our problem
with the boy who is denied work be-
cause he is black and then punished
becahse he is idle. No one of the COM
mittee knows that problem as Col
ored person knows it-no one of the
committee could feel it as we feel it.
Strange indeed that wherever crime
is committed by Negroes, every detail
is published broadcast and the fact of
color is most prominent in the details,
but when uplift and preventive meas
ures are planned our welfare workers
are neither consulted or considered.
Seventy-fve thousand Colored citi-
zens are studiously ignored. Again
the question, is it indifference or
prejudicef or both. And echo answers,
which and why.
