THE WEEKS WORST
EDITORIAL.

According to The Chicago Tribune:
The conviction of Dorsey Chambliss, Ne
gro ex-policeman. of the seduction of Bertha
Wiebeck, II year old white girl. marks
real triumph of justice over race prejudice
and pandering politics. Negroes and whites
alike should give thanks for the verdict.
When such IA case is put into the hands of
jury. guilt established. and punishment
melted out. faith in our judicial system is
strengthened
With faith in justice thus justified the
prejudice which instigates race riots and
mob violence loses its strongest support
When whites be thus assured that the
guilty will be punished, regardless of race.
they can cease to take the law into their
own hands safe in the knowledge that just
ice will be administered through legal chan
nels. When the same realization comes to
Negroes they also can cease to resent pref
udice with violence, and leave their wrongs
to the authorities set up to right them. A
better understanding between the races and
lessening of dsgracefu clashes should
result.
In this the crime was a crime. The
color of the guilty man had nothing to do
with that fact. The fact that a policeman
in uniform lures young girl into dis
orderly house is in itself sufficient cause
for prompt and drastic punishment. The
question of the girls innocence or the
polceman's race has nothing to do with it.
In the case of the Wiebeck girl the tragedy
of confession and death was necessary to
bring the matter before the authorities.
Once in the hands of the authorities /:

merits. but instead of treating it without

line in the south to organize dele
cations for what they can make out
of them. And in thepast, if the state
ments of the politicians arc to be
credited, much mo ;ney has been mad
credited, much mo ney has been made
in that way. For instance John Sher-
man, in his "Recollections" charged
that southern delegates who in 1888
had been instructed TO vote for him
in convention had been bought with
money to vote for Russell A. Alger.
In 1896 Mark Hanna was openly
charged with rounding up the south
ern states for Mckinley by the use
of money. Roosevelt, after using
southern delegates to bring about
Taft's nomination in 1903, com
planned in 1912 that southern dele
gates adh been purchased in Taft's
interest.
Nearly every four years there is
a fight on the floor of the republican
national convention over the ques-
ton of fixing representation on a
proper basis. Yet the manipulators
of republican politics in the south
continue to make hay. From Geor-
gia, for instance, are two contesting
delegations to this convention. At
the head of one of them is a poll
tician who received $4,000 from the
managers of one of the candidates
for pre-convcntion work, while the
head of the other delegation received
$500 from the managers of an
other candidate The republican vote
of Georgia in 1916 was 11.225 a
gainst a democratic vote of 1875 900.
1t was only for the delegates to the
convention that this money was
spent; there is no hope whatever of
carrying the state in the election for
any republican candidate.
1t is time for the republican party
to reform this abuse by making rep
resentation in its national conven-
tons depend on republican votes and
not on political appetites.
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-06-05

prejudice the authorities allowed panderng
politics to take hand. Instead of leaving
the case clear as that of policeman ae-
cused of seduction, politics presented the
matter as the case of Negro falsely ac-
after continuance was granted Every effort
was made TO block justice until the case
became such a scandal that the attorney
general of the state had to step in and the
Chicago Political Equality league requested
Aid. John II. Lyle to take the chambiss de-
Tense out of the hands of his law firm, Lyle
Harold. It had assumed the character
of defense of vice for the sake of votes.
1t was equally an exploitation of race preju-
dice for the sake of votes.
That a conviction has finally been OBJ
tanned despite these evil influences does not
remove the fact that such influences were
used and still exist, although weakened by
the verdict They are as strong only as the
votes to which they pander.
4 In that thought lies opportunity for the
women of Chicago to make practical use Of
their good influence and their votes to cor
rect the evil conditions disclosed. If the
( Chicago Womans club, for instance, shall
say without equivoeation that any political
| organization which thus panders to vice and
prejudice for votes shall Immediately lose
the votes which the women cast or influence
politicians win cease to be panders foi
political gain.
Justice in this case has done much to pro
teet women. Women can show their appre
citation and further safeguard themselves
and their sisters by making it too cost,
for such situation to develop again.

THE WEEKS BEST
EDITORIAL.
Those Southern Delegates.
Editorial In Chicago Daily Ne,Os,
June /, 1920.

In the republican national conven-
ton that will open next week, 1877
seats are involved in contests. Vir-
tually all of these contests originated
as always, in the southern states. 1t
is easy to organize contesting dele
4ations in the houth and gentlemen
who are in republican politics in that
section for the money and the jobs
there are in it seldom overlook an
opportunity.
Southern representation in repub-
lican national conventions is, of
course, all out of proportion to the
republican vote in the south. To that
fact may be traced more than one
grave political scandal in the past
doubtless it will give rise to other
scandals in the future unless some
thing is done, as has often been at
tempted, to change the basis to one
of fairness and put an end to the
present system which opens the way
to dishonest political practices.
In South Carolina in oNvember,
1916, the vote for Hughes for pres
ident was 1900. Yet South Caro-
lima is allowed eleven delegates in the
republican national convention, or
one delegate for every lao repub-
lican votes in the state. The vote for
Hughes in Illinois was 1,152,000, yet
Illinois is allowed only fifty-eight
delegates, or one for virtually 20,-
900 republican votes in the state. Is
it just that every Southern Carolina
republican should have more than
140 times as much influence in the
national convention of his party as
has each Illinois republican, parti-
cularly when the former beyond a
shadow of a doubt will contribute
in no degree to the election of the
republican national ticket in Novem-
Der?
Such a basis for choosing dele
gates does not provide representa-
ton in any true sense 1t simply en-
courages men in the political bread

THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND
PRESENT
By Lieut.. J. z. Hawkins

Mr.. Motifs reached the zenith in
his career and the Pekin Theatre had
become famous the world over when
death claimed him. He, died in his
prime. being scarcely 81 years old.
Splenic leucemia was given as his
malady. The greatest medical eX-
perts known to science were en-
ployed. DR.. William Quine, DR.. Dan
Williams, and Morgan, the last of
the Mercy Hospital, gave him con-
slant attention, but in spite of all
that science could recommend, he
gradually weakened and upon July
Il, 1911, at his home, ALTO Calumet
Ave, he died. He left no will, as he
had disposed of his estate during his
life and some years sprior to his i'll
ness.
The announcement of the death of
this most wonderful character not
only gave to the coiored people of
of Chicago, but those of the pro-
fesslonal world shock that required
years to recover. Previous to the
openin gof the Pekin Music Hall
and Pekin Theatre no forms of
amusement whatever had existed in
the colorcd territory. A few weeks
after the s9pepnniilg,. almost very block

funeral of Mr. Motifs was one of
the most porsontious held over the

The special attendants will be 'fe-
