The Sun la diligently trying to secure a list the Colored people killed In, the massacre at East St. Louis, but has been unable to do bo as yet. As soon as obtained we will publish it. Alderman Lewis B. Anderson, of the Second Ward, Chicago, who succeeded Alderman Oscar DePriest, was presented a $600 diamond studded gold star by the citizens of the Ward and the members of the race In that city, last week.

Presentation speech was made by Dr. A. J. Carey, the distinguished pastor of the Institutional A. M.

E. Church, and fittingly respond-ett to by Alderman Anderson. That the Negroes deeply appreciate the employment of a Colored band by the Park Board to furnish music during the summer months in those sections of the city inhabited by Colored people was evidenced last Wednesday afternoon and night by the immense crowds that assembled In Garrison Square and the Parade, 17th and Vine streets. Many white people were present and they expressed themselves as both surprised and highly pleased at the splendid program rendered by this band. The crowds were orderly and well behaved bu The Sun gently suggests that parents keep their children near them and prevent them from disturbing the concert by their prattle ana" play.

employ a Negro agent, and whoso representatives enter Negro homes with cigars lighted and hats on their heads, and call our wives and daughters "Sal," 'Jane," these folks write the greater part of tho Negro insurance, whiles companies of the race that employ our men, our sons and daughters as agents, clerks and stenographers, and send to our home courteous and respectable representatives, are left by us to make, If they can, or die If they can, or die if they must. Negro physicians also fall to hold the support needed from tho race. So with drug stores, grocery stores and almost every other phase of Negro business. Our progress will be greatly handi capped until, as a people, we get to the place where we will stand by the business and profession endeavors of our own people. Kentucky Reporter.

Betty Little Coarsfcex-D THEY Our Hearts Are THE JUVENILE COURT AND THE NEGRO. The thoughtful falrmlnded people In both races are wondering whether the present political upheaval in Jackson county between tha County Court and the Juvenile Court will make any improvement with regard to the consideration and treatment of tho Negro. Judge Porterfield of the Juvenile Court, whose record of seven years includes no sincere or substantial effort at conservation or reclaiming weak and delinquent Negro boys and girls has proceeded on tho theory which guides many other short sighted persons in similar positions where a fuller conception and a ChrlstllUe purpose might render both races a much greater moral service and the taxpayers through reduced criminal tendencies among Negro youth an economic service. It is also rumored that one of tho certain changes to take place will be the election of Mr. It.

E. L. Bailey to succeed Dr. W. J.

Thompkins as Truant Officer and the fact that Bailey has the endorsement of a number of prominent white Democrats affiliated with Judge Bulger as well as the ac-actlvq support of Dr. Howard M. -Smith, who is the leader among the Bulger-Pendergast Negro Democrats makes it quite probable this change will be made. Judge Porterfield who is affiliated with the "Rabbit" faction moved Mr. Edw.

Ross about a year ago that this place might be made for Dr. Thompkins and now the "Goat" fac tion are determined apparently to fill It with one of their own selection. Mr. Bailey is at present Dance Hall In spector under the Board of Welfare and was for many years the Editor of a Democratic newspaper in this city. RACE LOYALTY.

Betty and Sam Eon Ben One of the weak places in our rac Plal development Is the lack of pride and support of Negro enterprises Tearly all Negro business or profes' ops that has to enter competition with tho white man business of pro fesslonal activity, has more or less a struggle tor existence, because of our non-support. IL is a foregone conclusion, prejudice alone will turn the vast majority of other races from the door of Negro establishments and professions, and to live or die according as we have race pride royally to support them. Negro newspapers, the race's greatest mouthpleco for giving other side of discriminatory pictures drawn of us in tho white press of the country, are often left suspended for lack of enough paid-up subscribers. It Is a splendid thing to subscribe for and read the dallies. We must do jsa to keep abreast of the times but, Jt's a sad commentary upon our race loyalty, -when numerous Negro fam-'Ilea pay for one and two daily papers ihat seldom say much or us, but re-V)rt the Negro who has raided a flcken roost, wos arrested for storo reakingk or other petty offense, and J' ifuse to subscribe for the Negro pa-83jr that sees and tells of the High ot '-obi graduates: those who finished lirse In, law, medicine or attained 'iss iunuicecon)panleB-J Wanted Children to care for by the day or week.
