ARCADE THEATRE is NEW
NAME FOR PLAYHOUSE

The name contest conducted by
the management of the picture show
on Railroad Avenue was closed on
December 22nd and the decision of
the judges was announced on the
screen last night. Out of a large
number of titles selected, the
name "Arcade" appeared to the
judges to be&he best, and Emmett
Francioni who suggested the name
was awarded the $500 in gold offer
ed to the successful contestant. The
second prize was awarded to Robert
Gillen who thought the name The
Avenue came the nearest to filling
the bill. The reputation of the house
as the New Theatre has been pretty
well established, so no doubt there
will be many people who will call it
for that name for a time, but off,
cially from this time it is the Arcade.

BERWICK Will BE

City Forced To Send To
Cleveland For Repairs
Needed At Light
Plant

When the municipal light plant IN
Berwick broke down Monday night
throwing the city in darkness 1t was
thought that it would take only two
days to get the proper repair parts
from New Orleans, but upon investl-
CATION it was found that the parts
could not be supplied by the house IN
New Orleans and it became neces-
sary to order the repairs fom Cleve-
land, Ohio, and according to d Ber-
wick business man it viii be about
ten days before the juice can be
turned on again.
Mr.. VIII Drury who is employed at
the plant thinks his luck was with
him on Monday night when the ac-
cident occurred He had just gone to
the saloon across the street for the
purpose of using the telephone, and
the accident happened while he was
gone He thinks that perhaps had he
remained in the plant he would have
been killed or badly injured, as the
flying pulley would likely have
struck him. The employees usually gt
out to telephone on account of th'
noise in the plant which makes tele
phone conversation difficult.

We believe the Chicago Defen-
der is not doing the best thing
when it continues to be so rabid,
so severe and so inelegant and
extravaganza in the use of adject-
ives--we want our rights, but we
lose instead of gain ground, if we
pursue the wrong course. The
people who stand fora square deal
and even-handed justice must co.
operate with the colored people
who are striving for these things.
We can't obtain them by going
the wrong route and becoming too
abusive In the issue of the De
fender, Sept. 10Th, an account
was given of an alteration be-
tween a young white woman and

gave the colored woman as being
illtreated by the white woman in

THE EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE.
organization, rules and program for
the two days allotted for the meeting
The league has very generously an
nounced that its annual meeting will
be held after the congress adjouns.
The congress is to be composed first
of regular accredited delegates chosen
and sent by the various fraternal. re-
ligious, literary and political organiza-
lions from all sections of the country
and of individuals who may enroll as
members of the general body. as soon
as it is organized. The league again
urges all such organizations as above
named to see to it that from one to
two delegates be elected by each body
and sent to the congress.
The fact that lynching is still ram
pant, particularly at the south, and in
most of the other sections of the coun-
try segregation ordinances are still be-
ing introduced and enacted ought to
be sufficient evidence of infringement
upon the legal rights of the colored
people to cause them to unite in a
great movement like the proposed con-
gress for self defense. The Apostle
Paul boosted of his Roman citizenship
and used 1t in defending himself from
a mob in the temple at Jerusalem. He
knew the law and was willing to stake
his life on its being respected by those
in authority. as it lawful to seourge
a Roman uneondemnedY he asked.
Would to God we had In this country
officials who respected the law of the
land and who valued human life high
ly enough to throw around uncon-
demned citizens the mantle and strong
arm of the law. But there is still
balm in Gilead; there is still left a
remedy for unfairness and injustice
The ballot rightly used will remedy
many of the things which now hinder
the progress of the colored race. We
must unite our forces as race so as
to make our numerical strength felt to
better advantage. We must see the
necessity of having our representatives
in the municipal and national lawmak-
ing departments of this country.
When the congress convenes an out
line of the questions to be discussed
will be announced, and to such topics
the delegates will address themselves.
Committees will be appointed to draft
all measures intended to be presented
to the authorities in nation, state or
municipality. 1t has been suggested
that a campaign to create favorable
sentiment on the questions presented
be mapped out by states. aud at the
conclusion of campaign of sentiment
the representatives in the various
states viii meet and report on their
work and recommend the kind of ac-
ton to be taken. These state repre-
sentatives will act for the congress
between annual meetings.
