Third Senatorial District Of Illinois
and A. J. Carey are willing to fight
to the last ditch in order to assist to
re-nominate Louis B. Anderson for
alderman Of the rotten Second Ward.
Sometimes We feel that it would do
no harm if new aldermen were elect
ed to the City Council from the sec
and third wards, for it will be re-
called that for the past six or eight
years that Louis B. Anderson and
Robert R. Jackson have represented
the second and third wards in the City
Council; that during that time they
and their associate political bosses,
Messrs. Carey De Priest Wright and
company have been in absolute charge
Of all affairs pertaining to the colored
people residing in those two wards; !;
that in that length Of time untold
thousands 81 dollars have been made
BY some nameless colored men III buy
ing and selling the votes Of colored
people to this, that and the other fac
ton of the Republican party and to
the white managers Of the Democratic
party
In the meantime while all Of the
vote buying and trading and tricky or
rotten politics were going on in crap
shooting joints, gambling dens, fast
houses, which have for many years
been located right BY the side Of some
Of the homes Of the best and most
highly respectable colored people liv-
ing in those two wards. Moonshine
pedeling and other forms Of vice and
crime have continued to flourish day
and night like unto green bay tree.
The streets and alleys throughout
those wards are constantly reeling
with filth OF all kinds and in some
places it Is 50 deep, that the dear,
sweet ladies' have been forced to chop
their short dresses off up to their
knees ii order to wade through the
black mud Or filth
Under the present conditions the
world would not turn itself up side
down II two new aldermen were
elected 10 the City Council from the
above mentioned wards.
Attorney A. L. Williams and Mr.
virgil Williams may enter the alder
mans contest against Alderman An

HON. GEORGE T. KERSEY Sc
LECTED REPUBLICAN COM
MITTEEMAN OF THE THIRD
WARD.

Whereas, the regular Third Ward
Republican Organization is now, and
for a considerable time past has been
without definite, proper and regular
representation in the Party Councils
OF Cook County. and the State OF Illi-
nois. due to the following facts:
(a) That the elected committeeman
representing the Third Ward in 1916,
was Robert r. Levy;
(b) That the elected committeeman
representing the regular Republican
Organization Of the Third Ward in
1920, was William A. Bither
(c) That BY reason Of re-districting
Of the City Of Chicago into 50 wards,

Bitter fighting is starting in right
now between the many candidates in
the various wards throughout the city
for at the primaries in February, 1925.
fifty aldermanic candidates will be
nominated, one for each ward. Each
one Of the fifty aldermen will receive
FIVE thousand dollars per year aside
from the rich pickings for some of the
aldermen in some Of the wards.
As usual the many colored states
men residing in the Second and Third
Wards, their tin horn shouters, re-
tainers and small headed politicians.
are already lined up, getting ready for
the bloody fray for the indications are
that before the fighting is over in
these two notorious wards, which are
supposed to be absolutely ruled over
or governed by FIVE or six Of the most
brilliant or the brainiest colored men
in the wide world We don't think,
namely, Messrs. Wright. Anderson,
De Priest, Carey, Jackson and com
pany that there will be much knock
ing down and dragging out on their
part; that the fight between De Priest
and Jackson continues to grow SO very
bitter that if they should happen to
meet face to face that they may deal
out blow for blow and that real red
blood may flow freely between them,
long before the aldermanic primaries
have come to an end.
Il IS understood that Oscar DePriest
will make a desperate effort TO un-
morse Alderman Jackson at the Febru-
ary primaries; that he win boom and
groom DIR. Richard A. Williams to
succeed Alderman Jackson in the
city council. DR.. Williams owns 4
large bunch Of good income property
in this city and IN no sense Of the
word can he be branded as an oily,
slick politician, whose solemn word
does not amount to one row Of cheap
pins, but he is a high class. successful
business man. He is the supreme pres

are not manufacturers Of a "hair-
straightener" but dealers in a complete
system Of beauty culture They also
make certain medicinal preparations
used in connection with chiropody and
various baths.
That the office force works with
type-writers, adding machines, dicta-
phones, and a high-powered book
keeping system. Everyone is in uni
form except the officers. The place
has cleanliness. briskness and a
courtesy about it in which must give
the conclusion that here is a business
moved by ideas up-to-the-minute.
The founders who are credited BY
their subordinates with wealth of
more than 100000, have given lib
orally to the Y.MCA. here. to various
churches and Negro societies and to
schools. Last May they contributed
$4,000 to the downtown Y.M.C.A.
building fund. Previously they had
given $1,000 to the building fund Of
the Pine Street Ys.M.C.A. for Negroes.
Through the gift of a $4,000 building
site and additional thousands OF dol
lars to building fund, St. Louis now
has one Of the most complete and
modern orphan homes for Negro chill
dren in America A gift of $4,000 to
the medical department Of Howard
University, a school for Negroes in
Philadelphia and contributions to
Tuskogee. Wilberforce University and
other schools have been among their
philanthropies.

The next move was to the present 10
cation, where the building was COM
pIeted in 1918 BY this time the
college was turning out face powder,

and scalp oils and other sundries.

Not so long ago, Prof. Arron r
Malone. president Of Poro College, St
Louis, Mo-, and his splendid wife
Mrs. Annie M. Malone, the original
founder Of Poro College, which is the
greatest institution of its kind in the
world, conducted by colored people.
The Poro College, located at Pen
dleton and St. Ferdinand avenues, St
Louis, Mo-. represents an investmen,
Of almost eight hundred thousand dol
lars, for Poro College is housed in a
modern three-story brick building
with an annex Of similar construc-
ton. 1t has $4,000 agents scattered
throughout the world
The Malones employ about Us per-
sons. They annually train about 1000
agents in the use Of their preparations.
Poro College has an auditorium, a
cafeteria, bake shop, beauty parlors
and hospital facilities-all done in
modern style.
AS stated in the beginning that Prof.
and Mrs. Malone, after giving the mat
ter serious consideration, finally de-
cided to establish new branch head
quarters for Poro College and Supply
Station, at ALI Grand boulevard, they
put their heads together and i'll the
end concluding that in the long run,
it would be much better to own a
building in this city. in which to con-
duct their rapidly increasing business
in, than to pay rent for a building.
So they bought the building at All
Grand boulevard. where the Poro
branch Office and supply station is To-
Gated They paid we'll on to $4,000
for the property, for it is one of the
finest and most modern houses on that
grand thoroughfare
Aside from paying cash for il, they
expended thousands and thousands q
dollars in beautifying and improving
the interior Of It and laid out many
other thousands of dollars for tht
most expensive furnishings which car
be obtained any place. They have alsc
installed many beauty parlors in the
lower part Of the house and twelve
patrons for beauty culture work car
be served at one time.
On last Friday morning the Pore
Office and Supply Station was thrown
open to the public and all day long ur
until late Friday evening, great
throngs of people swarmed in to then

Six medals, conferred by four gov- ernments, may be worn by Lieut.. Com. John Philip sousa, the fam ous bandmaster, who ls now on his thirty-second annual tour with his band. and who comes here Friday. The medals of which sousa is most proud of course are his military medals. three in number. They are the victory medal and the Officers of the World War medal received during the World War, and the Spanish war medal, of the Sixth Army Corps. Upon the occasion of his world tour several years ago, Sousa was decorated by three for eign countries. At the hands of the late King Edward of England, he received the decoration of the Vic- torian ordey, while from the acad- emy of Hainault in Belgium he received the Fine Arts medal. From the French nation he received tho Palms of the Academy. Because of the risks of travel, and because of the size Of some of the medals, MT. Sousa does not wear the originals, but has had them reproduced in uni form size, in miniature.

 IN LAST SHOW OF SEASON
''In Love With Love" Furnishes Many Opportunities to Laugh

 A smashing finish to successful seasoriN run IS Tn Love With Love-" the vehicle in which the Poll Play CTS are appearing at Polls theater in Hartfordfall this week, the fare well engagement of the summer sea. son.
 Tn Love With Love" by Vincent Lawrence Is so realistic that it is embarrassing at times, It's tha old story of two men and a girl told in new way which brings out all snc humorous possibilities of such a sit- uation and which keeps the audience In an uproar, with few breaks, for solid two hours and a half.
 The plot is not difficult one, but an ingenious one, Arthur Howard playing the part Of an also. ran, go- ing down to defeat befope A.. II. Van Buren, "still another man" making 1t three men and a girl.
 Altogether, one of the most amus- ing plays the company has done this year, although not the heaviest by any means. There could be oneim- provepent, a minor. one. At the curtaSh of the second act the, two rivals are fighting. They respond to a curtain call,. however, which rath- CT breaks the continuity of the piece.
 Winifred St. Cairo as Ann, is splendid as usual. She has a chance to act, a privilege not granted in several of the other plays this year. Edmund Abbey, as William Jordan, does not have much to do, nor does Frances Williams as Marion Sears, a divorcee friend of ,Ann's. The au- dience would have enjoyed seeing more of them. Richard Bishop was a real villain. He did his work 50 well that everyone disliked him im- mensely. Arthur Howard displayed his versatile abilities in the part of Bob Metcalf, one Of the disappointed swains, and a funny one at that. A. H. Van Buren returned to the cast for the final production as Jack Gardner, the successful, but hnin- tentional suitor. Julia, the maid, was played by Claire Nolte.

PENN. ORCHESTRA AT CAPITOL
 The Keith vaudeville headliner at the Capitol yesterday made a decid- cd hit with the patrons. 1t is the Pennsylvania Diamond Orchestra, an aggregation of ten clever musi- clans, who offer great selection of popular music. They are well worth hearing and should prove very popu- lar during their stay here. Other acts include Holmes and Holliston in very good comedy skit; Eddie Montrose, the comedy clown; How ard and Bennett. two clever girls in Feminine Harmony"; and the Col. Jack George Due in a very excellent skit Two Bits."
 Mae Murray, for whom such ad- iectives as beautiful, dazzling. bizar- re and bewltching seem to have been expressly originated is determined ta give something entirely different and unexpected in every picture she makes. Her newest Metro produc- tion, "Madcmoiselle Midnight" now at the Capitol. which her hus- band, Robert z. Leonard, directed, is just as different from N"Fashion Row" as the latter is from her pre- vious pictures.

As a matter of fact, under the capable direction of Irwin Willat, the picture brings out with effective vividness all the dramatic strength of the story Of course, the fact that 1t was made entirely in color there isn't black and white se- quence in the entire feature--on the actual locations described in the books adds to its realism and pie torial beauty.
