T NEGROES LIES IN THE NORTH President A. Eugene Thomson of Lincoln Institute Stated That the Prejudice in the North is Ten Fold. RACE HAS GOOD RECORD Statistics of Colored Graduates Gives Them a Clean Bill of Health, Said the Noted Ken- tucky Educator. i* "There Is ten times more prejudice against the negro In the North than there is In the South." Thus said President A. Eugene Thomson of Lincoln Institute, Kentucky, at the Congregational Current Events class of Bvanston. He further said that the statement that race amalga- mation meant race deterioration, had no truth In it Many of the negroes of note have white blood in them. But the negro does not want race amalgamation. The, negro la develop- ing a race conscience and a race pride. He wants to stand up on his own feet. He is owning property, he is running banks, he is loaning money to white men. Don't pay any atten- tion to what men like Tillman, Vord- xnan and Blease say. False Statement. President Thomson went on to say that Jh» statement that an educated negro is a spoiled negro, is a false statement He had made careful in- Qniries in twenty schools and col- leges that educated negroes. He had Inquired how many of their graduates .had been arrested by the police. !!'â- â-  These twenty schools had 7,796 gradu- iJtttM. Seven of the Institutes had a clean bill of health. Not one of their I'Ppradnates had erer been arrested for ipsa* offense. One Institute bad three graduates that had been guilty of . p;erime, another institute had two, still fAanother had five. ^|r President Thomson said when he | told that to William Jennings Bryan and showed him' the papers to prove ::;< it, the present secretary of state said I Ithat that record could not be equaled by any twenty schools that educated *.; '.white boys and girls. Discuss County Option. *':~ Previous to President Thomson's address, Mr. Carlton H. Pendleton and ft*. Frank McCulloch spoke for five minutes each about an option bill now pending in the state legislature. Mr. Pendleton said: "A large part of the taxes collected each year are county taxes, and this is especially true In the country districts. So, without county option, you have a result which is, in effect, taxation without representation, because a large part of the taxes disbursed by the county are paid for the support of the poor and Incompetent, and for the prosecution of the criminal and delinquent classes, most of whom are in the cities and towns. Statistics •how that these classes are largely the result of evils of the saloon In the cities and towns." Important Bills Advocated. The city of Chicago is desirous of having enacted into laws a number ot important bills. Among others is the bill for consolidation of towns and park districts, the outer harbor bill, non-partisan election of municipal offl- cers, amendment to the Juul law, regu- lation ot telephone rates by the city, regulation of gas and electric light rates, etc. "AH of these measures are of great Importance to Chicago and Cook coun- ty. The result is that a situation has developed which may not only defeat county option, to which country dis- tricts are entitled if they want it, but It may also defeat many reforms In Chicago and Cook county which are sorely needed. McCulloch Presents Resolution. Mr. McCulloch, after his address, presented this resolution: "Resolved, by the members of the Current Events class of the First Con- gregational church of Bvanston, that we earnestly request the members of the legislature from this district to do all in their power to secure the passage of the county option bill now pending In the state senate." STEAMSHIP COMPANIES BOOST TICKET PRICES Operating Expenses Given as Reason for Advance In- crease in Rates. The many people who have planned lake trips for the summer will have to make a larger allowance for the purchase of tickets than they have In past years, for all the steamship com- panies sending boats out from Chi- cago have Increased their rates for the coming season. An increase in operating expenses and the shortness of the season is given as the reason for the increase. The higher fare will Include net only short excursions, but also more extended Journeys. Representatives of the companies' have not made public their rates as yet, as they are awaiting a decision of the interstate commerce commis- sion relative to the right for them to increase the fare. It is thought, however, that the commission will agree with the steamship officials and allow the increase. The Graham A Morton line, says a minor official of the company, will charge $1.26 for a return trip to St Joe, instead of the $1.00 fare which was in vogue last season. For a stop-over ticket $1.50 will be charged, an increase of 26 cents over former seasons. ' All Rates Advanced. The Goodrich line has advanced the excursion rate to Milwaukee 25 cents, from $1 for the round trip to $1.26. The fare to Muskegon and Grand Haven, one way, has been ad- vanced from $1.75 to $2 and the round trip fare from $3 to $3.76. There has been no advance in the cost of berths, and this holds true with the other lines.

Onekama, Frankfort and Island has decided to charge SO cents more for one-way tickets and $1 more for round trips. Trips to Michigan City on the boats oft the Indiana Transportation com- pany have been advanced from 60 cents to 66 cents, with the round trip rate, which formerly was 76 cents, now $1. "The interstate commerce commis- sion has granted all rate increases I have heard of," said an official ot the Northern Mlohigan Transportation company. "The steamboat lines al- ways have carried passengers more oheaply than the railroads, and the tendency now is to enforce rates on a more nearly even basis. We have a short season and a large amount of capital invested, and as long as there is no disposition shown to make un- fair advances I think the tendency will be for an upward revision of pas- senger tariffs to keep pace with the In- creasing cost of operation." BISHOP MD9WELL WILL OPEN GREAT EXPOSITION Bishop William F. McDowell of Bv- anston, resident Methodist bishop of Chicago, will formally open "The World in Chicago" exposition at the Chicago Coliseum, May 3, at 2 o'clock, just an hour after the aoorn have been thrown open. Sunday afternoon, May 4, Secretary of state William Jennings Bryan speaks at the Auditorium theater. Mr. Bryan will dwell particularly upon the objects and purposes tlon. Just prior to Mr. Bryan's talk a choir ot 300 voices will Ring the beau- tiful music Included in the score of the pageant of "Darkness and Light, the masque oratorio which will be presented twice daily at the Audi- torium during the progress of the ex- position. The pageant of "Darkness and Light" is in reality a grand opera. Its music, while In its general theme religious, is at the same timo filled with strong war songs, weird, native melodies of strange foreign lands, and the soft lullabies of the orient. The exposition will continue for five weeks, during which time it is expect- ed 20,000 men and women, recruited from some 600 Chicago societies, will populate the strange scenes of non- Christian lands. The pageant of "Darkness and Light" will be pro- duced twice daily at the Auditorium theater during the time of the expo- sition. MaJ. M. L. C. Funkhouser, oBvanston, second deputy superin- tendent of police of Chicago, has started a campaign to suppress all suggestive songs in show houses and cabaret shows. MaJ. Funkhouser be- lieves these songs are doing more to demoralise the youths of Chicago than anything he knows of. He has given instructions to the head of his censor- ship squad to warn theatrical man- agers not to permit their performers to Indulge in any objectionable lyrics.
