IN MEMORY Or
Adder WINSTON

Died, February "a, 1917,
Adder Winston, aged II years.
Every one that knew Adder
lovedhim. His school teacher,
school mates and his friends all
loved him. Adder was sick for
thirty long days and suffered
untold misery. He was removed
from his home at Tupelo one
week before his death and was
taken to a hospital at Memphis
for an operation. but he grew
no better.
On Saturday afternoon at A
o'clock Jesus said, Come up
higher, you have suffered
enough" and now in Glory he
is free. He who doeth all things
best deemed it wise to take him.
He is another jewel in heaven
to await the coming of those
who watched over him so
faithfully during the four long
weeks he was i'll.
1t was a pitiful sight to the
writer to see her sister suffer
such agony. She and four other
children were sick at the time
and could not attend the fun
eral. But the father stood the
trial of four weeks and then
gave up his oldest son, which
seemed more than he could
bear. But, there is a brighter
day for all who watched over
him. Gods will-not ours.
HIS AUNT ARE.

BEST OFFER IN OIL
EVER MADE TO NEGROES

The Mid-vale Oil and Gas Company
has been organized and incorporated
by we'll known Negro business men
of Kansas City to drill for oil. Invest
ment in oil sounds like a myth to most
people and truth is, one should be
careful in such matters nevertheless
we have the very best offer in this
line; absolutely safe, sound and SEN
sible. We have the lease (not going
to get it) it is paid for. The 80 acres
are in Allen county, Kansas, the best
oil field in the id-Continent district.
With hundreds of wells all around it,
producing thousands of barrels of oil.
There have been 1893 wells sunk and
only six dry holes. That's the reason
we have already been offered $40, 900
for our lease. I
An expert g~eologist tells us the well
guarantees a strike in the first we'll,
that's why we are determined to de-
velop the territory ourselves and to
begin at once. This is no wild cat
scheme. It's straight hard-headed
business proposition, put squarely up
to you:~ Remember men have grown
rich over night in oil. You can work
forever and never get enough ahead
to buy a suit of clothes. But a few
dollars placed in our project will re-
turn a hundred fold. We want you
to investigate us; question us; exam
inc us and our lease and territory as
well the business-like in
which we have gone about this thing
and it will follow as the night the
day, you cannot refuse to join us in
this great profit making undertaking.

he made the above credited statement,
but the result is not so happy as the
painters incident. The statement
shows desperation. Say anything,
claim anything, all being without
foundation n will be believed about
as quick as the other. However, the
comic is added to the serious.
Another claim: This Congress has
been foremost in demanding and Sc
curing redress for crimes committed
against the race" Great Crispus!
Will you hear him? Why it was only
last year in speaking of lynchings and
burnings and other crimes against the
race that our President advised us
that. if our noble men and women
they themselves should remove the
cause Here is an indictment of the
whole race instead of REDRESS"
But Il friend vas up to his old tricks
and politics and seeking the GOOD
GRACES of the Democrats. Our noble
men and women were not the objects
OF his solicitude then. He was willing
to sell their nobility of citizenship,
their rights of protection, and their
CRIES for REDRESS by telling
them that they themselves were to
blame for the lynchings and burnings
and the crimes" committed against
the race.
This leads us to observe that the
real Incarceration of a white folks
Niger was demonstrated when such
a disparaging statement of the race
was made in a WHITE PAPER for the
eager consumption of hostile readers.
The enemy concludes in an eloquent
defense of those who HAVE NOT been
accused. He says: THESE human
tadpoles, vilified Booker T. Washing
ton, traduced Fred Douglass, SANDER
ed Langston and crucified Vernon"
Fine! Great rhetoric! Four COM
mas and a period are properly used
here; the grammar is o. k. The two
first names he uses have in them a
reverent appeal to all lovers of the
great, but Just for fun let us see if
the DEFENDER practices his preach
ing, whether it is sincerity or camou-
flage. OUR President two or three
Years ago edited a newspaper called
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-12-15

the Kansas City Herald, which soon
struck upon the shoals OF inefficiency.
However, we are not holding this
against him, because many a real good
man has likewise failed.
The Herald was noted for antagon-
izing a leading Baptist minister for
directing subtle differences at the in
tegrity of the Kansas Sun: yellow
journalizing the citizens of this COM
munity; unfolding the ~"tenets'' of a
notorious clubman and %detracting by a
disparaging comparison from one of
the very men that he claims someone
else has ''vilified.'
The Herald reviewed a booklet by
a local writer of political economy"
1--WE are not sure this is the correct
name.) After praising the writer for
not using the word Negro" through
out the whole treatise he said the au-
thor was great and much above such
lesser lights as Booker T. Washing
ton and Dubois"
Here is a man superior to Washing.
ton and Dubois and his essay is not
hllONu OulSlue VI the Tree ulSJFlDu-
ton circle! It's chief feature being
that it ignored the name of a people
which no system of economy can log
ically overlook. Is not this vilifying?
Is not this Ignorance as well as bad
taste? Was it not SANDER of the
great? 1t seems Booker T. Washing
ton and Dubois need defending from
demeriting remarks by this self-im-
posed Defender. This is our final
statement. We realize it would be
better or worse, shorter or longer, or
we could have refrained from it all.
But in view of the fact that our public
work hitherto has been %acquiesced by
at least silence on the part of the pub
lie, this attack zones as a shock not
to my feeling but to my vanity! How
ever, we shall continue to work for
more public conscience, more sensible
manhood and womanhood, demonstra-
ton. 1t may be that we are COM
PEELED to use Lloyd Georges brutal
~frankness' and keep knocking both
destructively and constructively.

Mexico an Indian Country?

It Is Of Importance to inquire into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians of Mexico toward the Official
Spanish civilization, says the New Re
public. IL Ii Is difficult for an out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred OF
the Spaniards 1t seems self
evident Of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In
dams, the Spaniard and his successor,
the Spanish-speaking Mexican, is the
cruel alien conqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico is
an Indian country. For instance, one
of the common objections to Madero
encountered in Oaxaca was that he
was not an Indian and that the presi-
dent Of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude is significant, and 1t is
not strange TO End even northern
Indian like H71erta proudly exclaim-
ing: fY0 so Indlano." Carranza's lack
of popularity in the south is not so
much due to the fact that southern
Mexico Is the home of Diaz as TO the
fact that Carranza is not an Indian.

sAzz MUSIC FOE or BLUES
Does Not Consist, oman To Generally De.
IIeved, Of Lot Of Noise Without
Rhyme or Reason.

Various descriptions Of jazz music
have from time to time appeared, but
none seem to hit the mark exactly,
says q cOnnoisseur OF this art. The
common impression Is that 1t consists
OF lot Of peculiar and noisy sounds
without rhyme or reason. This Ia not
the case, however. 1t consists chiefly
Iof gyncopation, peculiarly accumulated;
variations by some of the instruments j:
appropriations by others, mingled with
odd sound effects. Through all this
the melody of the selections rendered
must be distinguishable at all times
tia can noises, beating the life out Of
1.-THE drums, blasting by the brass in
gtruments is entirely unnecessary.
Contrasts between pianissimo and for
4issimo passages should be shown just
as much In jazz music as In the class
acs.
Another wrong impression is that
Jazz Orchestras must consist of q GER
cain Instrumentation. This also is not
the case. The violin. cello, cornet. pi-
ano, or in fact, any legitimate instru-
ment, can be used. AS jazz music is
originally Ethiopian, the banjo and
IsaxOph0ne are used merely TO lend ne
gro character to It.
The number OF musicians that can
Jazz properly Is said TO be small. be-
cause it really requires good nuaie
clans, who must also be endowed with
the swing or knock OF performing 1t.
Although many or the cafe and then
ter Orchestras are composed OF good
musicians, those who can jass are
scarce. On the other hand, many OF
the self-styled Jazz orehestras are mis-
representations, and cannot play the
Ieemlclassics or classics adequately.
Some cannot perform it properly, and
TO Offset this, resort to noise and dis
cord In imitation thereof. The per-
leentage OF musicians who can do JUS
,tice to the classics and alsosplay jazz
Is consequently even smaller. This
kind OF orchestra IL exceedingly
scarce.
