REV. JOHN ?. THOMAS HAS
PASSED ON INTO THE NEXT
WORLD.

Rev. John F. Thomas, veteran pastor
of Ebeneezer Baptist Church, 35th and
Dearborn streets, widely known as an
advocate of the Baptist doctrine and
race reciprocity, a highly respected
citizen, has fallen by the wayside and
was buried from the Ebeneezer Baptist
Church Monday, August 80.
AS early as clock a. m. hundreds
Of men, women and children had found
their way from the country districts as
well as the city proper, New York,
Tennessee, California, Arkansas, Texas
and the Gulf of Mexico and had gath
cred at the church where they waited
the arrival of the funeral eortege. At
$3.50, Just 80 minutes before the funeral
exercises were to be held. there was
not a seat left in the church and the
streets for blocks around were crowded
with human beings who remained from
$3.50 TO p. m. to get a last look at
the man who had rendered such valu-
able service to his race and to his
country. Rev. C. H. Clark of Nash
vile, Tenn. delivered the funeral ora
ton. Other state and national officers
took an active part. At the close of
the exercises, his body was taken by
ministers and Masonic lodges and
Grand Army to its last resting place
in Lincoln Cemetery. Thus Chicago
and Illinois as well as the country has
been deprived of one of their best
eitizenA
Rev. Thomas was over a years old
at the time of his death, he was one of
the first Baptist preachers to locate
in this city when it was only a small
town and he lived to see it become one
of the greatest cities in the wide
world.
For years he was the hOnOred chap

of Illinois and served with it in Cuba

, schools should be the same as for white
schools and that eolored teachers
should be paid the same salaries as
white teachers for like grades and like
service" 1t recommended that "the
standard of teaching be raised to the
requirement Of normal training beyond
the high school,
The Association thanked Pierre Du
Pont for his gift of 100000, with
which to build and equip schools for
eOlOred children in the rural sections of
Delaware. 1t gave encouragement to
Negro composers to develop their own
peculiar idioms. It supported the idea
of having a national Negro eonserva-
tory Of music established and of hav-
ing eolored teachers introduce in their
schools a systematic study of the his
tory and literature Of the Negro race.
The Association deprecated the con-
dition Of unrest which has been pre-
valent among eolored people during
the past two years and pledged its
loyalty to the United States and to the
several states in the work of adjusting
after-war conditions.
Among the Association "deelara-
tons" were the following:
"We believe in the education of all
the people. We believe in an increase
of salaries for teachers throughout the
United States and in the erection of
adequate, modern school buildings,
properly equipped and generously
maintained.
owe believe in the thorough train
ing Of those who teach. We believe
that all schools should be thorough in
what they attempt to do. We believe
in the gospel Of sound mind in a
sound body and in cooperation for bet
ter public health.
FWe believe in the life Of the eoun-
try as well as in the life of the city,
in scientific farming, in home-owner-
ship, in economic independence and
self-respeet.

By DR.. N. A. Majors.

It is dreadfuIly unfortunate that a
woman might offer herself for sale for
twenty-fOur hours to the highest bid

ideas of respectabihty taught by our
fathers and mothersll What q fear

man depFavity that the hellish hysteria
of a white woman should sereeeh, and
scream down the corridors of ROOse-

a perfdiOus filthy body for twenty four
hours, or forty-eight hours to the high
est bidder.
No matter the cause, if it be honest

there is such a fool running loose in
this city KRnkakee is the place for
minds diseased.
If the ugly ghOuls Of infamous mag
nation of hysterical women should be
given free play through the public
press upon the rudely-inelinded cave
man whose number is greater than
John saw on the Isle Of PatmOs, then
we might as well cross out the words,
character, virtue and purity, and laugh
down with horrid seOwls the definitions

We are fearful for the white race;
we almost tremble at the taunts and
vexations of our bewildered soul to find
the very antithesis to purity and virtue
advertised through the public press,
honey combed with a sympathetic
fringe Of siekening ridiculous comment,

HON. DAVID =. MArCHErT, RE
PUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOE THE
NOMINATION FOR STATES AT
ToRNEY OF COOK COUNTY, SETS
FORTH his VIEWS.

The following short statement has
been issued by Judge David +
Mstehett, Republican candidate for the
nomination for states attorney and il
speaks for itself:
Ny platform is simple. have re-
peated it over and over, but repeat
it again. want every one to know it.
1t is easily understood and if 1 am
elected / will stand by it. And IN
see to it that the crook understands il.
No man needs to expect favors, and
no man needs to fear that 1 viii try
to buIldoze him. will simply enforce
the law.
Here is my platform:
Enforce the law justly.
"Crush organized crime.
''Punish the guilty.
Certainly you people understand
that the candidate Of a machine that
has bankrupted the city OF Chicago
and permitted vice and crime to run
rampant would object to this. 1 be
lieve that the good people of Chicago
are tired Of living on promises never
fulfilled and bunk fed out by this
crowd. Honesty and industry are need
. ed in the states attorneys Office more
than anywhere else. 1 promise you II
work"
1t must be said to the great credit Of
Judge Matehett, that he is an able and
eminent lawyer, a highly honored citi
zen-his record as one of the judges
Of the Circuit Court of Cook County i,
an open book and he who runs may
read and we have every reason to be
ieye that he would safe guard the
rights of all the citizens, both rich and
poor, alike as states attorney Of
Cook County.

/ troll; bin fixing the date limit on time
which persons could sue a municipality
for personal injuries, a law which has
saved Chicago and other cities hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Haas also voted for amendments
to the Torrens system, which has
brOadened its scope.
He was elected county clerk in 1906
and conducted the business Of that Of
fee in an efficient manner.
The recorder is the official custodian
of all the records affecting the title of
every piece of property in this county.
He conducts big business, requiring the
attention of a man of considerable bust
ness experience.
Mr.. Haas is a member Of many fra.
ternal societies and other organizations.
Chief among them are Maplewood
Council No. 1924, Royal Areanum; En-
terprise Council No. so, Royal League,
Kilwinning Lodge No. All, A. F. 4
A. NJ.
For more than thirty years the peO-
pie residing in this city have known
Mr.. Haas as a high class business man.
To the undying or to the everlasting
credit CT Haas, it must be said that he
employs more eolored clerks and
stenographers in the County Recorder s
Office than all of his predecessors com
bined, for several years past sixteen
eOlored clerks and stenographers have
been steadily employed in his Office and
they are scattered throughout all of its
departments and occupy seats OF desks

In the First Senatorial District, there
are men q white and eolOred) can
didates for the Republican nomination
for Representative in the next General
Assembly. Their names, as they viii
appear on the ballot are:
MAX SCHMIDT (white)
sHEADRICK B. TURNER
JAMES T. BREWINGT0N
WILLIAM NJ. BRINKMAN (white)
BENJAMIN H. LUCAS
ROBERT W. LACEY
WALTER J. LUNEY.
Only two can be nominated.
Each voter has three votes. He can
give all three votes to one candidate
by marking a cross (X) in the square
in front of the name of that candidate.
Give Sheadriek B. Turner three votes
by marking a cross in the square in
front of his name, and no other.
Danger-n you do not give
Sheadrick B. Turner your three votes,
it is likely the votes of eolored people
viii be 50 scattered that the two white
men will win, and we will have no Rep
resentative in the Legislature. Mr..
Turner is the only eolored candidate
who can win.
Rumor.-It is rlmored and under
stood in political circles that the other
eolored candidates are running for no
other purpose than to divide the col
ored vote, and make it possible to elect
two white men.
Sheadriek B. Turner has been a mem
Der of the Legislature twice. In the
last Legislature he was a member Of
the important Judiciary Committee,
which passes on all bills affecting or
changing the Laws Of this State. He
is the only eolored candidate who has
any chance Of being placed on that
committee if elected. We need a man
on that committee. Only lawyers are
on that committee and Mr..
Turner is the only lawyer among the
eolored candidates.
Sheadriek B. Turner was a member Of
the Committee on Constitutional Con-
vention; he safe-guarded the rights of
our racial group by voting to limit the
for that convention to
$500, 900; this money has all been used
up; if elected, he viii vote against any

ASSEMBLY OF THIS STATE AND SHOULD BE RE
TANNED INIT AS ONE OF IT'S MEMBERS.

I further appropriation to this eonYen-
ton, and the danger of constitutional
changes which might harm our group
viii be past.
The Legislative Voters League does
not like Sheadriek B. Turner, and it
does not like you. Mr.. Turner does not
believe the Legislative Voters League
is friendly to eOlOred people, and viii
not vote as they dictate. He refuses
to sign their pledges, and they do not
know how he win vote when he goes in.
Hence their opposition to him. They
wanted Mr.. Turner to vote for House
Bill No. %, which sought to make it
unlawful in Illinois for white and col
Ored people to live in the same house.
Sheadriek. B. Turner is one of the
most widely known and best liked col
Ored men in Illinois, and his influence
and the respect in which he is held
are great accordingly. He is able to
accomplish things for his people and for
the general welfare, and we need him
in the Legislature.
Assistance at the Polls.-If you are
not sure that you know how to give
Sheadriek B. Turner your Three votes,
ask the Judges at the polls for assist
anee; tell them you want to give
Sheadriek B. Turner Three votes; see
that they make cross in the square in
front of his name, and no other mark;
then you mark the rest of your ballot.
Mr.. Turner introduced nine bills in
the last general assembly and sacrificed
them in order to receive votes enough
to kin bill No. 155 sponsored by Gov
ernOr LOwden, which had for its pur-
pose segregation of the eolored people.
Mr.. Turner was successful in defeat i,
ing this measure.
One Of the candidates, Mr.. Benjamin
h. Lucas, voted for a resolution sub
hitting to the people the proposition
for a new constitutional convention
which was the most dangerous measure
that has happened to our race in this
State for 40 years. You desire a man
in the Legislative Hall who can, and
will protect your political, personal,
and property rights. If 50 vote for
Sheadriek B. Turner.
Primaries Wednesday, September Is.
Both men and women can vote for him.
