DEATH RECALLS
A BIT OF EARLY HISToRY J

He was 81 years old and settled in
Minnesota in 1854 as an employee Of a
st, Paul firm. Six years later, just be-
fore the Civil war\ \broke out, he went
to St. Peter as a clerk for Edgerton &

was one of the first from that place to
answer the call for volunteers and was
made first lieutenant of Company 2,

NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY NOT
TO BE DEMOBILIZED.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. 20
Fifth avenue. New York. has made
public the text Of a letter written by
the Adjutant General on September 2.
stating that no order had been given
to demObilize the Ninth and Tenth
Cavalry as had been reported.
This was Occasioned by an article
in the Washington Evening Star Of
August 10 carrying the following
news:
Sweeping changes in reOrganiza-
ton of all cavalry units of the Army.
placing the Second Cavalry Division,
comprising the 3rd and 4th brigades
and the 3rd and 4th Machine Gun
squadrOnS, on the inactive list and de-
.mObilizing units of the Sth, 9th, 10th,
.llth, 18th, 18th and 18th Cavalry regi-
ments, were ordered today by the
War Department"
The National Association for the
Advancement of ColOred People imme-
diately communicated with Senators
Capper and Wadsworth and Congress-
man Hamilton Fish, Jr., asking If this
statement was correct and whether
they could advise any action to be
taken by the Association to insure
the preservation of the 9Th and 10th
Cavalry regiments.
As a result the following letter ad-
dressed TO Senator Wadsworth by the
Adjutant General was forwarded to
the offices of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People:
"NO orders have been issued to de-
mobilize the 9Th and 10th Cavalry.
The writer probably misunderstood
an order to demobilize several troops
of these two colored regiments and of
all white regiments. AS a result of
the reorganization and reduction of
the Army, all regiments, white and
colored, have been reduced from
fifteen troop regiments to'eight troop
regiments. In addition, three white
Cavalry regiments are being placed
on the Inactive List
The 9th and 10th Cavalry will re-
main Active and be organized exact
ly like all white cavalry regiments,
and an additional colored machine
gun troop will be maintained in the
Philippines"

THE PERSPIRATION HOUND.

There are several kinds of sweaters
There are sweaters that make you
warmer. There are sweaters that
make you cool. There are sweaters
that fit you like sausage skin. There
are sweaters children wear to school.
There are sweaters that have a touch
Of fashion, there are those that make
you look the part, but the ones that
look just like a bathing suit is the
sweaters that warns my heart.
Then there are sweaters that won't
rhyme, you know the moisture exudes
through the epidermis, and keeps you
using a handkerchief, one after
another until your wife wonders, or
somebody does where did you get so
much to drink. Once in a great while
you come upon a sweater that don't
have to tell you a thing, the atmos-
phere is pre-empted it seems by an
odor that makes you feel that the
oysters were left out OF the refrigera-
tor too long. OF course you have al
ways been blessed by that instinct to
smell gumbO. garlic, and asafoetidi
right OF of the reel, but here is where
your olfactory imposes a very I'M
pleasant penalty, and somebodies feet
get a cursing they never got before.
Then there is the sweater of the alb
sent bath, the sweater of the neck and
arms, often you feel the anaesthetic
charging the nervous system with
terror that is sickening,' and you al
most give up to morpheus. Don't you
do it. Go forth under the open sky
and reinyigorate.

could so easily turn oppressor and
seek to injure a class of people who
have never done them harm or had
in any way shown that they were I'M
friendly TO them or inimicable to their
best interests. The Jews once wore
the CALLING yoke Of slavery, as did their
Colored brothers. They are now mis-
treated and oppressed as is his Col
ored brother.
Nothing is here meant as reflection
or to indicate in any way any unkind
feeling toward the people who are
now complaining of the Dearborn
Independent" publication. Our sym
pathy has always been with them, but
our amazement has been challenged
when these people turn oppressor.
When they seem to have nullified the
proverb that, Common miseTies beget
common sympathies." 1t is sincerely
hoped that the action of this prominent
attorney of the Jewish race will open
the eyes of other members of this race
to the injustice that they are practic-
ing toward the Colored people of the
City of Chicago.
A great misfortune about the Col
ored People in the City Of Chicago
is that no positive step has ever been
taken toward bringing to justice the
persons who have been guilty of such
violations of the law as this paper con-
'tained and the organization fostered.
The Broad Ak called attention also
to the statutes of the State of Illinois,
that this organization was violating
and called attention to the Federal
law and constitutions the spirit Of
which this organization was violating,
and yet no steps have been taken by
any member of the Colored people to
lay this matter before the States
Attorney, with the view of having
these persons punished.
When will this slumbering giant
awake?

THE LASH OF INJUSTICE MAKES
ALL SQUIRM ALIKE.
By Walter VI. Farmer.

There appeared in the issue of the
Chicago Daily Tribune of September
9Th. a news article setting forth that
a prominent Jewish lawyer of the
City Of Chicago has called the States
Attorneys attention TO the Dearborn
Independent" periodical, issued sup
posedly by Henry Ford, the great
automobile manufacturer. This COM
plant simply emphasized the fact that
injustice and lawlessness frequently
react upon those who are guilty Of
such practices.
a few months ago The Broad AK
called attention to the libelous and IN
American utterances OF a certain pub
LEGATION known as the Property
Owners Journal" which journal was
devoted entirely to false and deroga-
tory statements and charges against
the Colored People VINO owned or oc-
cupied property in what is known as
the Grand Boulevard, KenwoOd and
HYDE Park Districts. An open letter
was published in the columns of The
Broad Ak to Martin Isaacs, Master in
Chancery Of the Superior Court whose
name appeared as a member Of the
General Committee Of the organiza-
ton that is publishing this paper. l.
was pointed out in this letter that such
statements as appeared in that paper
were not only false and unfair but
tended TO arouse race hatred and bit
terness that might eventually lead to
race riots.
Nothing in the article that appeared
in the Dearborn Independent" comes
anywhere near being as bitter in de-
nunciation and as false in fact as the
article in the "Hoperty Owners
Journal in which tie Colored people
are attacked, and ye in the Property
Owners Journal apears the names
of such men as Harry Ascher, David
Rosenheim, Martin Ikacs and others.
1t is a matter Of sertus inquiry how
a people who themtlves were and
are now oppressed Ind mistreated

NOTHING DOING FROM WARREN.

The mills OF the political gods are
grinding slowly. Up to date President
Harding has emphasized the title Of
the song Earnest Hogan use 10 sing.
But what does il matter? Who wants
TO be called George? Humanity would
have to stretch it's bounds to compen-
safe the Negro race for always doing
the graceful thing. It is highly prob
able that the president will find a
deal of satisfaction in pleasing the
Southern gentlemen who grow elo-
quent on birth, tradition, and the rest
of it. We have men fit to hold any
position in his gift, but it does appear
that our hopes are to be blasted; that
is if We are looking for any thing ex-
.traOrdinary.

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO
HUNDRED, MORE OR LESS
WONAN'S GOT THE SPOT LIGHT,
STRONG,

They've been writing about the wom-
en- Of the present.
They have said so many things about
her dress,
They descant upon her weaknesses
for fashion,
They would like to see them dressing
more or less.
And the less she wears the more she
seems an angel,
The more she wears the less she
makes a hit;
She could wear them to her knees il
she wished to.
And size will, and well all be proud
of it.
The way the men are dressing doesn't
matter,
And no one cares a rap for how he
goes;
He can cut his pants so short above
his ankles.
But no one takes an interest in his
clothes.
But the ladies and the friIls that they
are wearing,
And all the fancy garb that are so
dear;
They couldn't be Attractive as they
cover
Without clinging to the female run
ming gear.
They used to hide their feet with such
long dresses,
They were hideous things, a cheat, we
all confess;
But now they've got more sense and
We adore them,
They won't be wearing any soon,
guess.
For what's the use of covering up
completely
Every charm, yes every little bit Of
charm
They may do just as they please be-
cause it's summer,
When winter comes they dress up to
keep warm.
They are wearing lighter weights, and
showing splendid,
You could put the things they wear in
envelopes;
And it makes us mighty happy just to
see them
Have the nerve, and dress so near to
our hopes.
We didn't use to see so much Of them.
a fellow
Had to guess, and then he had no way
to know,
But now since styles have changed it
is quite easy
To look at what the women have to
show.
And say! there isn't any end to the
procession,
They are wearing them so short this
very year
So far below the chin and so far above
their shoes,
But there isn't anything at all to fear.
Women, bless them, once had tootsie
woOtsies,
But now they do not have them any
more;
They have legs, feet and ankles like
the men have,
But the things the women show we all
adore.

Nothing is too good for the ladies.

but who is going to give to them while

a remembrance of what it use to con-

very beautiful, but all us men can do
is to make nice promises, and say
