OAKLEY ROD AND GUN CLUB
ISSUES CALL TO sPORTSMEN
Fellow Sportsmen:

The Oakley Rod and Gun club
will meet on Wednesday, April 2, at
8 90 p. M, under the Oakley State
Bank, and the present members
would like to have every one who
can so arrange. to be at this meet
ing.
This meeting is for the purpose of
electing new officers for the year
1924, and to take care OF other bus
mess which the club has on hand.
We have some questions which
no doubt interest every sportsman
in the valley and in order that this
cub may dispose of these questions
we want all who can to make their
presence known. A few of the
questions are: Che closing of Trap
per creek from fishing; the sage hen
question. These birds are going to
be scarce in few years unless some
protected area, which VIII give
give them some protection. is provi-
ded. Still another item OF interest
is the o akley reservoir. We all
know that if this reservoir is drained
dry, all our efforts to date are lost
unless some arrangement is made
TO look after this condition.
Don't say "Oh, well,' and pass
the buck and let John do it, and you
get the fruits of his Efforts. A few
of the boys have been trying to do
their best the last two or three
years, and some good results have
been accomplished. If these few
had said Let John do it," John
would be out of luck and so would
we, and we would have had to drive
two or three hundred miles to get !
enough fish to make frying pan
stink. Think this over Your boy
might some day want to go fishing
and you have let John do it SO long
that you have overlooked the fact
that John died several years ago and
your fishing and shooting conditions
v ent with him.
The Burley club, known as the
Cassia Rod and Gun club, is holding
their annual meeting on April 7, at
the Elks hall, at 1880 p. M, and
they have sent an invitation to all
our members and any one who can
cog, to attend this meeting. Some
able speakers will be at this meet
ing. Our state game warden, War
rem Thomas, w. M. Keil, the fish
and S. B. Locke, game
expert for the forest, will be there.
Mr.. Locke will give talk accom-
panied by slides on fish and game.
If you do not go to Burley. meet
with the Oakley Rod and Gun club, I
April 2. 500 p. m. under the Oak
ey State Bank.

On Sunday night last, before an au-
dience which packed the auditorium
OF Berean Baptist Church at Sind
and Dearborn streets, Col WI F.
Mollison, well known attorney de-
lIvered an address which was pro-
nounced by all who heard it master
piece. His subject was The Jew and
the lesson of his life"
The speaker showed vast familiar
ity not only with the Jewish history,
but with the scriptures, ancient and
modern. He told Of the difficulties
that the Jew had encountered in all
the ages, and how he had always and
everywhere been faithful to his ideals,
patient, industrious and willing to wait
to accomplish the greater purposes Of
his race.
The speaker most eloquently de-
scribed Palestine, its rivers, its cities,
iis mountains and its plains and how
within it this great tribe had lived and

PICKPOCKET CAUSES STIR IN
COURT WHEN FINED SIS
BY THE JUDGE
Made Attack Upon Officer Starks,
Who Had Arrested Him and was
Called Back by Judge and
Fined 500

Herbert Colwell, a well known pick
pocket, was arrested Monday night BY
Officer Starks. He was before Judge
Bugee, at the Wabash Avenue Court,
Tuesday morning, where he vigorous
" denied that he was attempting to
do any harm or to relieve the inmates
of the crowded State street car on
which he was riding, when placed I'M
der arrest.
Officer Starls, who has arrested
Colwell twice before, told the Judge
that the man was mingIing in large
crowd and that he was a well known
pickpocket, and although he did not
actually see him digging down into
any ones pocket that as that was his
business, he knew he would commit
this outrage on some Of the unsrs-
pecting persons on the car
He was fined SIS and costs. AS Col

earth. He told Of the conditions that
prevailed in all of the modern states
of Europe; how Russia, the greatest
of the civilized empires, had crushed
and murdered him, and finally how
the Jew had come to the top and was
joint ruler Of millions who had de-
spised and spat upon him. The speak
er told many interesting things in his
own experience of how the Jews pa
thence had been rewarded and how at
last He is coming into his own. He
paid them a high compliment for their
obedience to the law and especially
that commandment, which says Thou
shalt not kill" He admonished the
audience that no better example could
be followed than that of the Jew who
had suffered all things, hoped all
things, and whose charity was as wide
as the. seas. The audience applauded
for a full minute at the close Of the
address.
Mr.. Jones Stoval, the chairman Of
the monthly Literary Club, and Rev.
w. S. Braddan, both paid the speaker
a high compliment which the address
well merited.

DISTURBED IN PARTY BY AR
RIVAL OF OFFICER
Hides the Whiskey Under the Carpet
on the Stairway; Later Dis
covered by Officer

Monday night, as party was going
on at 1927 Indiana avenue, the inmates
were rudely disturbed or halted in their
merriment, by the arrival Of an officer.
There were some shots fired, but as
you know how some of these shooting
affairs are-you don't seem to know
who shot you or anything about it,
although you are guests at the same
house. John Watson, Granville Nc
Elroy, and J. w. Turner, were in
court Tuesday morning, as three of
the guests of the fatal party. J. w.
Turner was the man shot. When
asked who shot him, he didn't know
anything about as to the time or man
ner in which it happened.
A taxicab driver of your Cab
Company was there, and was
charged with firing the shot by the Of
6cer, but it was not proven at the trial
that Mr.. Watson. the taxi-driver, had
a gun nor was He seen firing one. AS
a result Of the very mixed up affair,
they were discharged BY Judge Bugee
in the Wabash Avenue Court, Tues
day morning.
The Your Cab Company was repre-
scented by very able lawyer, Hon.
S. B. Turner, whose Office is located
at 155 N. Clark street.

ALL GODS CHILLUN

By Jack smOthers

There appears in one Of Chicago's
race papers this week, cartoon which
vil be harmful to colored people all
orer the United States for many
months to come. In the first part Of
~ picture there is a white audience
hooking on as white woman kisses
colored mans hand, with the ex-
oression. I love you" In the second
oart u the picture, the mistress is say
;ng to her colored maid, Sally, when
Iobn goes out of town, want you to
introduce me to some swell colored
fellow like the one in All Gods
Cbilhn Got Wings"
This cartoon alone would not be so
bad but it is headed, Maybe this is
wbv they don't want this picture
shown" 1t is unfortunate that sens
lille people should print this kind of
rot-cspecially to send it to the unciv-
iIized portions of America where it
will get ignorant unsuspecting colored
people under the ban of the displeas-
ure Of their neighbors.
The black man has burdens enough
without having others put on his
shoulders by those who have made
fortunes through appealing to his pas
sions.

CHICAGO HoNoRS THE NEW
CARDINAL
Vast Throngs Stand in Reverence
Along the Entire Fifteen Mile
Line Of March

Chicago does nothing by halves. 1t
knows how to turn out to do honor
to one of its great sons. Not since the
patriotic affairs during the Worlds
War was there ever such an outpour-
ing Of her citizenry as greeted His
Eminence, George Cardinal Munde
lein. just recently invested with the
highest honor Of his great church.
The Cardinal arrived from New York
about two o'clock Sunday and from
55th and Leavitt streets, to North ave
nue.. people fought for place on the
sidewalks to get glimpse of the mag
nihcent vestments Of the highest titled
officer Of the great Roman Catholic
Church in America. The onlookers
were not Catholics alone; they repre-
sented every walk Of life, and every
race and creed. There was no hesi-
tation in doing honor to the Royal
Representative of the Emporial Mother
Church.
Cardinal Mundelein not only greet
ed each person that could be covered
by his benigning glances but made the
sign Of the cross, as he did so. He
pronounced his blessings upon the
vast throng who seemed delighted to
do him honor.
The services were held in the church
Of the Holy Name Cathedral at the
corner of State and Superior streets.
Holy Name Cathedral
Holy Name Cathedral is at all times
a wonderfully great edi6ce and inn
presses those who go within its sacred
precincts, but on Sunday it was dec
Grated 50 tastefully and elegantly that
even the great Cardinal himself must
have been agreeably surprised. The
decorations were the colors of the
Roman Church, and these tastefully
intertwined with silken flags Of the
United States.
During the ceremonies the spacious
cathedral was packed to OVERLOOKING
and no traffic could pass on State
street for blocks on each side Of the
church. Even after the ceremonies
were concluded, thousands of people
including the writer, filed in and out
to not only feast their eyes, but to do
reverence to the great occasion.
1t will be years and years before
Chicago will have any occasion that
will equal the great spectacle OF the
reception Of its first cardinal.
