MANY PROMINENT LADIES
ARE WORKING HARD FOR
THE SUCCESS OF THE COAL
ITIoN NoN-PARTISAN JUDI
cIAL TICKET.

Women, republicans and democrats,
of Chicago and Cook county have
joined hands to defeat the City Hall
candidates for judges. They are get
ting, workers in every precinct to can
vass for the ten republicans and ten
democrats whose names are in the
democratic column of the official bal
lot.
Women particularly are interested
in this election because il involves
the courts which administer the laws
concerning mothers and children.
The Circuit Court judges assign the
Juvenile Court Judge from their own
membership. He appoints a woman
assistant and lO7 probation officers.
1t is pointed out that the present
Juvenile Court organization under
Judge Arnold is one which cannot
be jeopardized by placing IT in the
hands of political spoilsmen. This or
ganization administers the Mothers
Pension Fund of about $4,000 a
year, every dollar of which, under
Judge Arnold, has been turned over
to the mothers, with no deductions
for salaries or operating expense.
It is further pointed out that the
Circuit Court judges appoint the
South Park Board, which has in its
employ about 1900 persons and ex-
pends in the maintenance Of the
South Side system of boulevards,
parks. recreation centers and bathing
beaches upwards of two and one-half
million dollars year. The expendi-
ture Of twenty million dollars already
voted IN bonds for improvements un-
dertaken win also be in its hands.
Mothers are interested IN the proper
expenditure Of these funds that their
children may enjoy the health and
pleasures they viii provide.
Women's clubs and other orezniza-
lions, therefore. are urging voters TO
put a cross IN the square IN front Of

public schools from which he in time
graduated with all the hohors due
him. At the end of that period he
attended the Bryant & Stratton Bust
ness College and the old Chicago
Athenaeum where he completed his
commercial education.
Later on in life he graduated with

honor to himself and to the citizens
of Chicago as Assistant Prosecuting

A. Busse.

cARRAwAY's LITTLE JOKE.

One Carraway, Democratic
United States Senator from Arkan-
sas, one of the states in the Southern
murder tier, unconsciously perpetrated
a little joke when he introduced a
bill to prohibit enlistment of colored
men in the army or navy.
Of course Carraway did not mean
to be funny-he put the bill in to
please the red necks of "Rackensack."
He knows it can not pass. But the
joke is there just the same, because
colored Americans are already barred
from 10Th army and navy except on
a jimcrow basis.
Although a resident of one of the
states, colored man can not enter
the militia of that state on the same
basis as other citizens. He must get
into segregated unit and then into
the u. S. Army through the jimcrow
division of the Federalized National
Guard. IF he wishes to enter the
regular army he must go into a seq
regated regiment
If young eolored man happens to
read one of the lying advertisements
published BY the Payy, calling atten-
ton to the enlistment Ito travel and
see the world" or honorable ad-
vaneement" or Chance for a great
career" and with loyalty and pa
triOtism in his breast he endeavors
to enlist, he is informed by the not
invariably polite enlistment officer
that his only chance is as a mess at
tendant, WHICH translated means a
servant.
This Is the way loyal eoIored eiti-
zens are treated by a lying nation
