east against permitting a railroad
from entering the Park or reducing
its extent 20 a railroad should moi
enter it's boundaries. This is ali senti-

The firing of giant powder as it
was carried on in this city during
Tuesday night was an outrage upon
our citizens and should be promptly
suppressed by the city authorities. In
several instances we learn that sticks
of the powder were purposely ex-
ploded in close proximity to the resi-
dences of our citizens, which not only
endangered the buildings, but kept the
occupants awake all night, and in
some cases the terrible conclusions
produced such severe shocks to ner-
vous systems as to completely pros
trate them. Why should u peace
able citizens be subjected to such an.

roundings which, if continued much
longer, will give ample reasons for the
belief, in these days somewhat pre-
valent in colored society, that the
white mans interest in the colored
race finds its main expression in their
exploitation.
1t will be recalled that in 1906, Judge
Dever was one Of the candidates on
the Democratic ticket for one of the
Judges of the Municipal Court of Chi
cago; that the Hon. z. L. Barnett
who at that time was assistant states
attorney Of Cook County and Re
publican candidate for Judge Of the
Municipal Court Of Chicago and the
morning after the November election
in that year all the daily newspapers
declared that far beyond doubt that
Chicago would have a colored or a
black Municipal Court Judge. Then
the black-hearted white Republicans
got real busy and they called on Judge
Dever and urged him to join in their
co1d-blooded or black-hearted scheme
and assist them to oust Mr.. Barnett
as one of the newly-elected Judges of
the Municipal Court. They wanted
Judge Dever to file a contest against
him and that that would be an easy
way to count him out. Judge Dever
absolutely refused to join hands with
them, at the same time stating that
Mr.. Barnett did not have one thing
that belonged to him Judge Dever); I;
that Mr.. Barnett was an able lawyer,
that he always conducted himself as a
high-cIass gentleman and as far as
Judge Dever was concerned he would
not throw straw in his way in any
dishonest attempt to prevent him from
carrying out the duties Of the Office to
which he was elected by majority of
the voters Of Chicago.
A Democrat by the name Of Lantry
filed contest against Mr.. Barnett
and he was declared elected BY the
Republican election commissioners.
The above facts clearly proves that

votes Of the majority of the colored

Judge Dever's Speaeh, Delivered at
the Iroquois Club
Recently Judge Dever spoke to his
colored fellow citizens at meeting at
the Iroquois Club. He said, in part:
Il can see but little benefit to be
derived in this campaign from an at
tack upon individuals or groups of in
dividuals who have had control of our
municipal affairs during the last eight
years-all that water has passed under
the bridge. The people are more di-
rectly concerned in what my construc-
tive program may be if I am elected
Mayor of Chicago. Later in the cam
paign I will announce defnitly what
my stand will be, if elected, on every
important question with which the
next mayor will have to deal. But
may say here, in passing, that on the
vice question an honorable man can
take but one position. Take the case,
merely as an illustration, of the gen
eral conditions in the Second and
Third Wards, more particularly in
the Second Ward; charges are made
that conditions there are unbelieve-
able; for my part | have no desire at
this time to discuss them at length.
However, the colored people Of this
city, 95 per cent of whom, and per-
haps more, are interested in a decent
government, have the right to know
just what I propose to do if | should
become mayor, and want to say to
them with as much sincerity as I
have ever said anything in my life
that / propose to give them at least
some chance to bring up their children
under conditions that mean something

up to them, first, whether they want

second, whether they want mayor in

When the people residing in this
city and in all parts of the world read
in the daily newspapers last Friday
morning that Mayor William Hale
Thompson had ran up the white flag
and had ordered or commanded his
chief commanders, followers, shouters
and retainers and camp followers to
sound loud alarm and retreat from
the political battlefield, it struck the
earth like unto a very loud clap Of
thunder from a clear sky and it is
still hard to believe that Mayor
Thompson is willing to turn the city
of Chicago over to that class of Re-
publican politicians who have been
endeavoring to ride around on the
back Of his neck for the past eight
years.
Those who are not on the inside,
who do not enjoy the confidence of
Mayor Thompson, viii never be able
to understand why he beat it to the
tall timbers right at this time with
out informing his faithful followers
that danger was straight ahead and
that they had better look out for the
breakers, when we take into consider
alton the fact that he has in the past
and still at the present time stands at
the head Of the greatest political or
ganizations in the wide world.
For within the past eight years the
Thompson political machine has been
all powerful, and it has made many big
or small statesmen, many Of whom
will never be able to raise their heads
above the political waves again, now
that the Thompson ship of state has
passed on down and down to the bot
tom Of the deep political sea.
Since Mayor Thompson has fully
and firmly decided that he will not
stand for reelection for mayor Of
Chicago, the woods have become full
OF Republican candidates and while
they are all fighting among themselves
ike SO many mad dogs and cats the
people are becoming more convinced

THOMAS DIXON SCORES NEW
VERSION OF KLAN

Rev. Thomas Dixon, author Of THE
Clansman,' and a member Of the
original "Ku K1ux Klan of the Old
South" makes the statement that the
modern version of the Ku Klux Klan
is dangerous movement.
The present Ku Klux, he said,
garbed in the stolen livery Of the an
cient order, is ininical to American
society for its avowed persecution Of
Negroes, Catholics, Jews and for
eigners.
The original klan, he explained. was
founded as a weapon against a corrupt
and intolerable tyranny by the bravest
and noblest men OF the South. He said
that his authorship Of "The Clans
man." which was dramatized on the
screen as "The Birth Of Nation had
led to belief that he was connected
with the modern khan.
Refused to Join
when organized a few years ago
this modern khan sent me an invita-
ton to join" he said. Il promptly
declined and in my letter warned the
organization if they dared to use the
disguise in a secret oath-bound order
