women OF AMERICA
ARE FIFTY-FIFTY
With STERNER SEX
(By Associated Negro press)


Chicago, Sept 2.-"It is finished" !"
The women OF America are ffty-flfty
with the men; they are now full.
fledged citizens, with all the rights
and privileges of the so-called sterner
sex, and they will vote for the next
president Of the United States. The
Tennessee legislature put on the fin
ishing touches. Governor Roberts un-
derstood and underscored the decree,
and Secretary of State Colby gave the
final official announcement to the
world.
There is much rejoicing, bell ring
ing and excitement of various kinds,
but the dear old South has to go
through an ordeal of elimination un-
ike anything it has ever before passed
through. If the South gets away with
disfranchising openly, and with malice
aforethought, all the Negro women of
the section, it will he the most monu-
mental act of legal indifference and
defiance ever perpetrated in this
country.
Strong indications point to the fact,
however, that the women are not 60
ing to be as docile and as easy as the
men in seeing that the rightful con-
stituents get the rightful privilege of
casting their ballots and having them
honestly counted. The women are
more conscientious than men, and
whether Republican or Democrat. they
have high regard for the letter of the
law Therefore, there will be some
interesting political developments.
"The Negro women of the United
States and the Negro men of the
United States are entitled to vote now

Democrats bold enough to deny them
and the Republicans towards enough
to permit the grand larceny" asks
one of the most prominent Republi-
cans in the country.

MILLION DOLLAR
WHISKEY GANG in
CHICAGO BLACK BELT
(ny Asaociated NEGRO Pressl


Chicago, H., Aug. 1.-Two white
detective sergeants were shot and
killed in one of the notorious "black
and tan" resorts, the Pekip Cabaret,
early Monday morning, by Hershie
Miller, tough gunman from the west
side. The first reports of the affair
gave the impression that the killing
was the outcome of the mixing of
white and colored dancers who have
been frequenting the place. This
phase of the reports was given due
credence because of the frequent
brawls that have occurred in the re-
sort between Negroes and white men
about the right to dance with the
Negro and white women who spent
their leisure and late hours enjoying
its Illicit practices.
Later reports, however, revealed
that the operations of big Illicit
whiskey ring was the cause of the
tragedy. The Pekin Cabaret was an
important receiving and distributing
station for a $1,O0O,OOO illicit whiskey
gang who were operating among the
questionable resorts and blind" sa-
looms on Chicago's south side. Graft,
politics and the bawdy charms of
women of the underworld played their
several parts in the sordid tragedy,
and, incidentally, another opportunity
is afforded the local daily press to
dilate upon the criminal menaces
lurking in the murky places of Chi
cago's widely known "Black Belt"
William Hennessy and James Null
cahy were the detective. sergeants
killed by the trusty gun of Hershie
Miller. The presence of the detect
ives in the Pekin at the unseemly
hour of a. m. is accounted for in the
statement made by Miller that there
was a quarrel about a division of
spoils money.
Walter Tyler, the Negro manager of
the resort, and one of his entertain
ers, styled "Salome," and two white
women, Lila Akron and Mrs. Jane
Ritter, are being held by the state at
torney's office as important witnesses
in the case.
Tyler denies any knowledge of the
whiskey ring and the three women
disavow any knowledge of the causes
of the killing aside from the fact that
they were present when the shooting
| took place. The Pekin remains closed
as result of the shooting.

Y negro BANKS NOW
HANDLE MILLIONS Of
DOLLARS ANNUALLY
(py Assoeiated Negro Preaal


Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 2.-Bishop
Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, in
his final summing up Of the work of
the twenty first annual meeting of
the National Negro Business League,
which was held in Philadelphia from
August Is to August 81, said:
"The twelve million Negroes OF
America now have a deeper apprecia.
ton than they have ever had before
of their value to the economic and
social life'of the nation. Indeed, they
have deeper appreciation of the fine
men and women that the race has pro.
duced American Negroes have today
firmer faith that right makes might.
We shall all work, contend and pray
it'll the un-Christian barriers are
broken down. This has been the best
session of the National Negro Busi-
ness League"
DR.. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
Institute, who had just previously
been reelected by hearty reclamation
as president of the League, thanked
the great audience of delegates and
friends of Negro business progress
for the fine spirit of cooperation and
goodwill which they had shown
throughout the interesting and valu-
able three-day program.
The Leagues Service
James c. Napier of Nashville, Tenn,
the Leagues honorary president,
spoke on "The Aim, the Growth and
the Achievements of the National Ne
gro Business League" He said:
"Dr Booker T. Washington, who
organized the League twenty years
ago, although men declared it would
fail, had faith in the ability of the
Negro race to make progress in busi-
ness. He had real vision. Spread.
eagle oratory was put aside. Men
and women were encouraged to lay
bare the struggles of their souls. The
efforts of obscure men were clearly
demonstrated.
"In 1900, when DR.. Washington sum-
moned score of men to attend the
first meeting in Boston, there were
few Negroes engaged in business pur-
suits. Negro business stocks were
diminutive. Negro business mems ex-
perience was circumscribed. Today,
Negro business men and women COM
pare favorably with other men and
women in business.
''In 1900, for example, Negro real
estate dealers doing large business
could have been enumerated on the
fingers of one hand They were hand
ling property worth few thousand
dollars. Now Negro real estate men
are handling millions of dollars worth
Of property. During this meeting a
Negro real estate man within a very
short time put through 100000 deal.
''In 1900, Negro theatres were prac-
tically unthought Of Since then great
progress has been made in building
Negro theatres; the beauty culture
industry has grown rapidly; farmers
have learned the value of applying
science to their work; the chain-store
idea is now developing. In 1900 there
was one Negro bank. Today there
are 70 Negro banks, handling millions
OF dollars.
"The Leagues aim has been to
teach the importance of the idea of
community OF interests among Ne
groes and to have Negroes support
Negro enterprises.

Developing Critics
BY Silas 3. Fishkind

and women 60 to the theater that week
they will pay close attention to acting
At other times l may discuss scenery
or settings-in short, subjects which
enter into dramatic criticism
I attended Mr.. Eaton's hrst lecture
at the School Of journalism and heard
him tell the men and women who had
gathered TO hear him, briefly and clear
ly, his theories Of criticism. He talked
Of the old judicial criticism, the ea
cathedra Judgment, exemplifed abroad
by "The Edinburgh Review and In
America by the late William Winter
He described the inductive method of
criticism, the analysis of a play or a
book in a search for the facts without
an expression Of opinion. Lastly, he
discussed impressionistic criticism, the
adventure Of soul among the master
pieces" writer has called 1t.
A newspaper critic, Mr.. Eaton be-
lieves, should have ready command
of the impressionistic method above all
others, as it will most directly express
the spirit and mood Of play. He told
his students that in newspaper criti-
cism 1t cannot be presupposed that a
book or play Is we'll known, but rather
that it must be considered as new,
and that 1t is the primary duty Of the
writer to tell his readers Just what the
thing is-he must combine reportorial
faculty with criticism.
There are definite qualifications
which q good newspaper critic must
have, Mr.. Eaton finds. First Of all, he
must be sensitive to Impressions, he
must be possessed Of taste in the best
sense Of the word, and he must be able
to respond to suggestion.
"Unless critic keeps reading and
studying. unless he sees things, he
has no background, nothing with which
to gauge his responses. The critic of
to-day who has not seen the great act
ing Of the past misses the background
upon which he can base his judgment.
1t is all right for him to say that he
prefers live Barrymore to dead
BOOTH but he must read the great
plays Of the past, even if he has been
unable to see the great actors.
ABILITY to write is, of course, one of
the necessary qualifications of the good
newspaper critic. He must have the
literary touch, indefnable thing that
it is, but he must have It, He must
be able to tell In words the emotions
he has experienced and the reactions
he has had. Sometimes it Is difficult
to do this, especially when writing
about farces. Often all you can say
about them is that they are extremely
funny-and that the audience laughed
continuously. That's why, when a seri-
Gus play is presented, you find long re-
views Of it. The author has given the
critics something to grit their teeth
in.'"
