Attorney James f. White, the regu-
lar Republican candidate nominated for
state senator from the Third Senatorial
District, was born on a farm in North
Carolina, he graduated from the State
Normal School, at Plymouth, y. c., and
then completed his education at Howard
University, and graduated with honors
from the Academic Department and
from the College of Arts and Science,
and Laws. He is a lawyer of % years
experience, is married and lives with
his family in his own home at 5000
Vernon avenue, where he has resided
for ten wears. He was for twenty years
associated in the practice of law with
Col. franklin \. DenisOn of the Old
Eighth Illinois National Guard NOW in
France. He is 4 man of the highest
moral integrity and character and
would assist the governor in his efforts
20 win the war. He has resided in the
district twenty-five years and is con-
neeted with those movements which
tend to the moral and civic uplift and
advancement of the people.
The people of the Third Senatorial
District ought to support the candidate
who is not only competent and able to
represent them, but who comes from
that group of people which is the most
numerous in their party of this district
and which is without representation by
any member of their race in the state
Senate.
We believe in the principle that in
every ward or senatorial district where
there resides a majority of any race or
group of people that that race or group
OF people ought to have representation
IN all of their representative bodies.
The state of Illinois is 100 years old

Saturday, August 18th, The Chicago
No Idea, which is supposed to be ably
and brilliantly edited by Col. s. B. Tur-
ner, contained a wildcat or faxed article
with glaring headlines to the effect that
Congressman Martin B. Madden, on the
2sth day of February, 1918, voted in
favor of "Jim Crow" car laws and as
a matter of fact, there was no such
measure pending in either branch of
Congress at that time and right here,
we will step aside and permit Congress
man Madden to speak for himself and
he does not hesitate in branding Col.
Turner as a downright falsifer and
contends that he ought to have some
one to examine his head to ascertain
whether or not he is sane or insane in
making such rash statements:

also know that Congress has no more
power to repeal a state law than the
state would have to repeal a law of
Congress.
He would know, too, that the law to
which he refers is one OF the most es-
sential war measures, a vote against
which no man could justify, but the law
does not do, nor pretend to do more
than reeite what the supreme court has
decided more than once: "That the act
shall not be constructed to amend, re-
peal, impair, or effect existing powers
Of laws of states in relation to taxation
or the lawful police regulations Of the
several states, except wherein such
laws, powers or regulations may effect
the transportation of troops, war ma

ure. The President had already taken
over the roads under the authority of
the National Defense act, he had also
appointed a Director General of Rail-
ways. He was operating the roads.
The law to which Turner refers was
simply passed to define the conditions
under which the Government could use
the property, to provide the terms of
payment for the use, to fix the duration
of the use and all proper conditions in
eidental thereto.
Everybody knows that there is no
police power in the United States, that
all such power is in the state, and that
Section Is Of the Act, was put into the
bill to preserve the rights of the states
to tax their own people in their own
way. In other words, no one wanted the
United States to prevent the states
from taxing the property of the rail-
roads within the states for state pur-
poses nor of exercising the police power
to protect property and citizens within
the states.

Charging irregularities in the securing of whisky shipments, six well known white men of Bessemer and two negro physicians were placed under bond yes terday by federal authorities on war rants sworn out before Kenneth Charl- ton, United States commissioner The men placed under arrest were N. J. Edmondson, P. F. Moore, Lee Mattingly E. D. Lewis, w. c. Rounsley. J. w. Mo Kenna and pr. J. w. Aldredge and pr W C. Howard, the two latter being negro physicians.
 It is alleged that the physicians gave prescriptions to secure whisky, that MT Lewis, notary public, failed to fill the requirements of administering an oath and that the other defendants identified persons to whom whisky shipments were made for af monetary consideration. <
 The bonds for the defendants were fixed at from 5000 to S500o all of which were made, and they will be given g hearing before United States Commis- |sioner Charlton on January 20, 1919.
