THE ADVENT OF OSCAR DE
PRIEST into the Third Ward arena is
being received with conflicting emo
tons. While some hailed his coming
as a godsend, others there be who
viewed it with fear and trembling. 1t
goes without the saying that Oscar De
Priest is a powerful factor on any po-
litical battle-ground on which he hap
pens to pitch his tent" But when he
comes into the Third Ward with the
open and avoWcd intention OF Kidding it
of that Pompous AutoCrat and Arch
enemy OF Negro Progress, William A.
Bither who has held the whip hand
over the Negroes OF that district in
the name of Mayor Thompson for
years, why, even those who are not OF
the camp OF De Priest are ready and
anxious to join hands with him to
smash the cruel hand of Bither-he
who for years has waxed fat on the
strength OF the almost solid Negro
vote of this ward and in exchange has
given but gngerly Of even the small
est crumbs from his well-hlled political
table.
1t is but fair to state that Mr.. De
Priest has ACHIEVED whatever Of
honor and public trust he may enjoy
He has EARNED whatever of success
has come his way. He is but another
proof that LEADERS ARE BORN
NOT MADE Some that have been
made to order are weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting. They found
the mantle Of greatness trust upon
them too wcighty for their puny
shoulders. Leaders without number
have flashed for a moment on the pub
lie horizon and then sank inevitably
into oblivion, unwept, unhonored and
unsung.
But for twenty years the writer has
been told OSCAR DE PRIEST has
been forceful figure in the political
life OF Chicago. 1t must be understood
that Mr.. Bither is a leading light in
De Priests own ranks. and his cour-
ageous stand can then be more full,
appreciated
II the advent of Oscar De Priest in
to the Third Ward means the elimi-
nation of Bithcr the right to place the
names Of Negro candidates on the
ticket tand this right has hitherto been

cause?

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
COMPENSATES KIN OF
MEN WHO WERE SHOT

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE French gov
ernment has now done something to
atone for the unfortunate error made
in June, 1915, when Lieutenants Mer-
duin and Militant were summarily exc.
cuted without court martial or any
form of judgment, within AZ hours
Of the retreat from Fort Douaumont
on Verdun.
Louis Barthou minister Of war, has
written to Madame Herdun, the wild.
ow, saying that 100000 francs has
been allotted to her as civil repara-
ito md $4,000 francs have been sim.
larry allotted to the father of Lieu.
tenant Militant.
The letter of the minister says that
the evidence given in a recent action
that Madam Herduin had taken
against Paris newspaper for libel had
made him re-examlne the petitions she
had sent TO him and his predecessors
at the war office.
Madam Herduin and the elder MI.
liant have accepted the governments
offer and so far as they are con.
cerned this painful affair is now
closed.
When Herdun faced the firing
corps, he refused to have his eyes
covered and said few words to the
squad, that 1t was their duty 10 obey
orders without questioning their jus
tice. Then he, himself. gave the order
10 fire.
1t was later proved that a mistake
had been made and that neither OF.
ficer had abandoned his post.

placed at the head.
In no case should the flag be al.
lowed to touch the ground.
IL. The flag must not be marred

FIREMEN SEARCH RUINS
FOR BODIES OF FOUR MEN

PASSAIC, n. j., Dec. 14.-Firemen
were searching the ruins of the plant
Of the Hayden Chemical Company OF
America today for the bodies Of -four
men, reported missing following a fire
and explosion at the plant yesterday
which did damage estimated at $780,
600. The men failed to return to
their homes last night, although Il
hasty search after the fire had not
disclosed any trace of them.
Thirty employees were burned in the
fire which began after the explosion
Of tank Of chemicals and soon spread
throughout the building. Six Of the
injured were still in the hospital this
morning. The bursting OF an electric
light globe over q tank of chemicals
is believed to have caused the explo-
sion.
