The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX Vol. VII. BEYOND A DOUBT Any person of fair average common sense, who can calculate interest and do a little reasoning can settle one point beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt. We suppose such a person able to read. If he will refer to some of the encyclopedias he shall find that all the gold stock of the world amounts to less than four and a half billion dollars. Now as all the world of Europe and America have declared by law that gold is their sole legal tender, this means that all the paper used as money and all the silver must be redeemed in gold on demand of the persons to whom they are offered in payment. No one is obliged to accept paper or silver, so long as confidence exists there will be no trouble. But the legal tender laws have destroyed all permanent confidence in every form of money except gold. As this confidence, trust or credit is the real money it is a very bad policy ever to distrust it. However, as all the nations seem to have united in declaiming that money is something else than what it really is and that gold alone is money, the fact remains, that there is no legal money on earth except that small pile of gold worth four and one-half billions to redeem the hundred billions or more of paper and silver, copper, nickel, etc., now circulating. Moreover all the bonded debts of nations, cities, counties, R. R., etc., are payable in gold, as well as debts of private persons. Where is this gold stock and who owns it? Surely some persons must own it as it is commodity. Were it credit no one could own it exclusively. And that is the great fatal evil of this violation of the nature of money by such a legal tender law—making out of a mighty force that is intangible, invisible but like all such forces all potent—making or binding it to a bit of metal. If we did the same with electricity and ignored all of it save the little running along one wire it would be the same kind of policy. The owner of the wire would own the great force so useful to man. Who owns the gold? Connecting authorities again you find that about 80 years ago one, Nathan Rothschild left to the five sons of the house nearly one-half billion dollars. This was loaned to several nations and bonds taken as security. It must have doubled at least six times and would now be over 30 billion dollars—(Billions I say.) But in addition the position of the house gave it omnipotence in the money marts so they could depress all stocks, buy up, corner, boom and sell out, always making enormous profits. They also own whole streets of the greatest cities of Europe. There is no limit to their fortune and to their power to increase it. Were they to abandon their hold on the gold stock down must they go to be no more than rich. Or if the nations were to abolish the gold legal tender law their power would vanish. Just think of it. Our only real lawful money is not based on our power, our credit, but on a small pile of gold owned absolutely by one house. Funny, is it not? And why don't the papers expose this strange condition? Simply because the world is always stupid as to things under its nose. Facts everybody now recognizes, as matter of course, were neither believed nor dreamed of a hundred years ago. When Adam Smith said, "All wealth is created by labor," everybody was astonished. So when Jefferson proclaimed equal rights. So of a hundred things, if gold really is the only money 'tis a pity. But if neither gold or silver or paper is money, nor anything we handle is money, but 'tis a subtle force, unique omnific in its own lines, have we not made a fatal mistake? Have we not abandoned our own to stand on foreign ground? And are we not the verlest serfs of that great house? BEWARE OF NEGRO NEWSPAPER IMPOSTORS. It is no pleasure to us to have anything to say through the columns of the Press respecting the dishonesty of those who are connected with newspapers which are supposed to be published in the interest of the Afro-American race; but we feel it is our duty to strike at rascality or low trickey and wherever we find it and now to the point. On July 19, 1902, G. W. Perry, who is or was working for the Church Organ No. 2, called on Mr. Jacob Feinberg, wholesale and retail provision dealer, 31st and State street, and Perry induced Mr. Feinberg to pay him fifty cents for three months' subscription and his card in The M——, better known as Church Organ No. 2, but up to the present time Mr. Feinberg has not received one copy of this paper. The writer has the receipt showing that Mr. Feinberg paid out his money in good faith to assist a Negro enterprise but he has received nothing in return for it, not even one single copy of this Church Organ No. 2, which devotes all its space in an effort to white-wash whisky drinking preachers. Mr. Feinberg, who entertains a very warm spot in his heart for Afro-Americans, was also beaten out of one dollar and twenty-five cents by J. S. C. Sharp, of Denver, Colo., who passed through this city June 23, 1902, and for some time prior to that date he had ceased publishing his paper, The Times-Speaker, in Denver, or at any other point, but at the time we received his paper on exchange he observed Mr. Feinberg's ad in The Broad Ax. and he called on him and induced him to subscribe for The Times-Speaker for six months, but Sharp's paper has not been in existence since last April Some persons may think that it is smart work to resort to such methods in order to obtain a few dollars but those who entertain such ideas fail to realize that such acts on the part of two colored men who pretend to be in the newspaper business makes it harder for those engaged in the same business who are honest, and all other Negroes to do business with first-class white business men. There are numerous so-called Negro preachers tramping all over this city operating along the same lines as Perry and Sharp, and we warn the public to beware of them for most of them are fakes and impostors. OPENING OF THE MIDDLE 3STATES AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EXPOSITION. Thursday evening the First Regiment Armory, 16th and Michigan Ave. was crowded by the best Afro-Americans and many white people also were present who joined in the opening exercises of the Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition with as interest as the Afro-Americans. Mayor Carter H. Harrison spoke in behalf of the city of Chicago and his Honor was there with the goods. Acting Gov. Northcott represented the great state of Illinois and his eloquent oration was full of sound advice to both the white and the black race. James H. Porter, Mayor Davis of Jacksonville, Ill., Alderman Chas. Alling and Mr. Brown, who represented J. L. Friedman, treasurer, also addressed the great throng of people who seemed to greatly enjoy the occasion. The exhibits are numerous and very creditable and the exposition promises to be a grand success. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Wednesday, August 13th, the Olivet Paptist Church, 27th and Dearborn Sta. was sold for $4,000 and some odd dollars to the holders of the first mortgage notes and now the fight to retain possession of it will be between the holders of the second mortgage notes which called for $11,500 and the parties of the first part. The trustees were served with a five days' notice to vacate the premises. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, AUGUST 16, 1902. SPECIAL NOTICE. The Broad Ax next week will contain a long article on "Some Defects in the Management of the Cook ounty Jail." O [Name] Col. A. D. Gash, orator and lawyer, who led and won the fight in the celebrated Lieutenant Joyce case last winter, and who is one of the best and greatest legal fighters or combatants CANCER INCREASING Reports of crucial researches into the cancer show a frightful increase of this pest—the most terrible conceived of. Let it go on at present rates and in fifty years it will hardly be necessary to ask as to the cause of any ones death—any human we mean. The increase seems confined to hogeaters as leprosy is to fish eaters. Not for nothing did the ancients abhor the hog. The Hindoos and Arabs or old Cushites and Egyptians where civilization began at least ten thousand years before even Noah floated his ark, and the Jews later—all these forbid hog eating. However that may be the report is a terror. Surely investigation should show the why of the increase. If vegetarians are exempt let us know it. This will go far to put down the meat trust too. HOLT. FRIENDLY ADVICE FREE. From on and after this date all Arro-Americans who are confined in the Cook County jail, and the other penal institution of this county, who have been tricked or defrauded out of their money by scheming and unscroupulous white and black lawyers or alleged lawyers under the pretense of signing their bonds or securing their release or freedom are requested to communicate with Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Broad Ax, 5040 Armour Avenue, City. Revs. Carey and Murray have began devoting much of their worthless time each Sunday in plugging for the Old Church Organ, which is supposed to be edited by Barnett, the coffin jumper, but one year ago these same light-headed so-called Devines, were endeavoring to crush out the Old Church Organ for the reason that it was at that time unwilling to lick Murray's and Carey's dirty big toes. But now the Elder who attempts to run the Old Church Organ is permitted to snort and shout in their pulpits and that act on his part makes him the whole thing with Murray and Carey whose days are numbered in Chicago. Dr. Nicholas R. Engels, Democratic candidate for county commissioner, is well known to the Afro-Americans throughout the Town of Lake, and in the past he has been ever ready to aid or assist them in every way, and on the day of the election he will receive the votes of many colored men. CHIPS. . . . Lawyer R. M. Mitchell has gone on a visit to his mother who resides at Florance, Ala. He will be absent from the city for several weeks. Rev. Abe Murray is on old sly fox but The Broad Ax is on to hfm, and --- in the West, will in the future be the chief or the leading counsel in all litigation, which may be instituted against Julius F. Taylor. later on it may ask him a few questions about Mrs. P—D—. Crap-shooting Jack, Gambling Terrell has never dug up the three dollars which he owes as subscription to The Broad Ax. Rollin B. Organ, who has faithfully served the people of this county for two years, will be the next president of the board of county commissioners. State Senator M. J. Butler is still true to the faith of Democracy, and this fall he will put in many good licks for the success of the entire Democratic ticket. Vina Fields, her man and all her push who roam up and down the Levee district, attended the picnic given by Quinn Chapel and Bethel Church last Monday. The Knights of Templers gave a grand stag at 2712 State St. Wednesday night, and on Thursday evening they gave a swell banquet at Stephen's Restaurant, 29th and State Sts. Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Wright have been spending the last ten days in visiting friends in New York City and other sections of the east, and they will return home Monday. Little Attorney Ward, who has become the defender of the morals of the whisky-drinking Negro preachers of Chicago, had better step light or he may hear something drop on his beer head on the north side. Dr. Howard S. Taylor, Prosecuting Attorney of Chicago, spent the past few days in visiting his parents at Greencastle, Ind., and during his absence George H. Kriete, his first able assistant, filled his shoes. The big law firm of Kraus, Alschuler and Holden have removed from the Unity Bldg. to the new Tribune Bldg. and Sam Alschuler is feeling very happy for he has a fine office all to himself. Aldermens Leininger, Alling, Hart, Dever and Kuester, members of the Aldermanic committee of the Middle and Misslesippi Valley Exposition, were in evidence at the First Regiment Armory Thursday night. William Howard Fitzgerald, ex-assistant corporation counsel of Chicago and his law partner, Mr. Orr, conducted the investigation of the cruelties practiced upon the inmates of the Kankakee Insane Asylum in behalf of the Womens' Protective Association. Col. I. P. Rivers has succeeded in securing a position in the Chicago Postoffice for his son, Col. I. P. Rivers, Jr., who is sound to make a good business man for right now he is full of business and he does not waste his time in playing with the boys. Mrs. Wm. McKnight, 450 37th St. left for Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday night where she will reside with her husband for some time. She rented her house furnished and her address in Kansas City is 1230 Walnut St. and she will be greatly missed by her many Chicago friends. Rev. Jasper Thomas is not in favor of the members of Olivet Baptist Church holding a church meeting early in September for Rev. Jasper is afraid that he will be compelled to hunt another soft-snap on Job the morning after the meeting, for he plainly sees the hand writing on the wall. Rev. Andy Carey is still on the warpath and he declares that he will punch our head the first time he runs across us. Well, well, just think of it. A howling, shouting minister laying down the Holy Ghost and transforming himself into bruiser or prizefighter. Is that not enough to jar the devil in hell! In commenting on the outcome of our libel suit The Enterprise of Omaha says: "The Broad Ax takes great delight in hacking at The Enterprise." That is not true, Sister Mahammitt, for you are one of the best and brightest writers among the Afro-Americans in this country, and The Broad Ax would never think of saying anything to ruffle up your good soul. The first colored man to be graduated from Amherst college was Charles H. Moore, of the class of 1878. Since leaving college Mr. Moore has been engaged in educational work in North Carolina, his native state. For the past five years he has been at the head of the academic department of the agricultural and mechanical college for the colored race of Greensboro.—Ex. When Rev. Abe Longreen Murray ran Allen Chapel in Indianapolis, Ind. he permitted democrats to hold meetings in his church, but when Rev. Longreen came to preach in Bethel church in 1900 he would not read any political notices from his pulpit until after he was fixed by the late Bishop Perry A. Hull, and the other leaders of the Grand Old Lily-white Party of robbery and disfranchisement. Revs. Little, whisky Ward, Carey, Murray, Thomas, Jim Miller, Wolf Barnett and Company are still on the warpath and they still maintain that they will go before the United States grand jury in September and prevent The Broad Ax from being transported through the malls, and all we have to say is that if the fool-killer should happen to land in Chicago he will not miss killing these ignorant fools. Ex-Judge J. E. Ricketts, 145 LaSalle St., who is entitled to wear the title of LL. D. is president of the Columbia College of Law which was recently organized in this city, under the laws of Illinois. Col. Loren H. Whitney is its secretary, Ex-State's Attorney J. M. Longnecker, is its dean, for the present President Ricketts will retain his office at 145 LaSalle St., Room 216, and the Columbia College of Law will open for business September 15. The picnic given by Bethel and Old Quinn at Cedar Lake, Ind., last Monday was not a creditable affair for many fights occurred and disorder and confusion was the order of the day. Such outings by the two leading Negro churches is not conductive to good morality. It seems that Rev. Abe Murray, was on hand and that he put in much time in looking at the fat ankle of the lady who was dressed up in a white waist, a blue skirt and who sat on the table with three other ladies at the time Rev. Longreen was standing not very far from them and we can call the name of the lady with the white waist and blue stockings. State's Attorney Charles S. Deenen spent much of his valuable time last week in listening to the "plaints of Reva. Andy Carey, Jasper Thomas, Abe Longreen Murray, Jim Miller, L. Beer Ward Pension-money Barnett and Co., and this little band of so-called Christians who have no high conception of right or wrong piped unto Mr. Deenen, and they declared "that The Broad Ax is the worst little paper in the world, that it is poisoning the minds of the members of Quinn Chapel, Olivet, and Bethel against their pastors, that since The Broad Ax began fighting these three preachers the people have almost stopped giving up so much money to them," and it is strange to say that the State's Attorney, who is consided to be very wise, permitted himself to be controlled by the utterances of these so-called leaders of the colored race. If it is true that The Broad Ax is opening the eyes of the people who attend these three churches and is teaching them to save their money and become better citizens, it is the duty or the State's Attorney to aid it in its work and not attempt to raise his strong arm against it in order to receive the smiles of gamblers, money "grafting" preachers, blacklegs, and ex-fraudulent pension attorneys. --- THE OLD FOLKS' HOME. The following resolutions were passed at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Home for A. I. C. P., 610 Garfield Boulevard. Be it resolved: That no person or set of persons be allowed to give an entertainment of any character whatever, unless authorized by the Board of Directors of the Home or the Ways and Means Committee or the same, which has cffarge of the work of this character by a special resolution passed in the annual meeting, August 7, 1901. Be it further resolved: That the parties granting the privilege of giving such entertainments place the secretary of the Home or some one specified by the Board of Directors in position to receive all moneys upon the evening of the entertainment and that they furnish an itemized account of all expenses and all outstanding tickets at the time of the close of the entertainment, and that all outstanding moneys be paid direct to the secretary of the Home. Be it further resolved: That this resolution take effect at once. Vote for Dr. Nicholas R. Engels, Democratic Candidate for Commissioner of Cook County. Fiction in Our Libraries Fiction in Our Libraries. In some of the public libraries of the United States the percentage of fiction called for has been reduced below 60. Even this figure is misleading. Novel devotees read three times as fast as those who call for books of other classes. Novels are often skimmed or returned as unsatisfactory after a few chapers are sampled. When the novel reading is scaled down by this consideration the excess of fiction taken out of public libraries is largely reduced. A Pictorial Person Tattooed on the body of a man who lost his life in the south West Indies docks recently were a crucifix, alephant, tombstone, dog, eagle, figures of Punch and Judy, cross flags and the word "love" in large letters. A Rarity in Camp. Great excitement was caused recently in a Colorado mountain camp by the offering of a sirloin steak as a prize at an entertainment. THEODORE W. JONES IS STILL AFTER REV. JASPER F. THOMAS OF OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH. EVILS OF THE PULPIT THAT ARE UNBEARABLE. Editor Julius F. Taylor:—A week or two ago Rev. J. F. Thomas, whose reputation is not commendable, felt it necessary to say from the pulpit of Olivet Baptist Church, "I have never stolen anything in my life." He has done well indeed if he hasn't. Now I wish to say that I have recently made investigation as to the fire this so-called preacher lived, both in Louisville, Ky., and at Topeka, Kan., where he has been stationed; that I solemnly declare, above my own signature, that his reputation is such, that no statement which this man can make would induce me to believe, either in his honesty or integrity, for a moment. Since subscribing to the six thousand dollar fund which was raised by January 1, 1902, to complete the church, I have given special attention to the raising of other moneys, and the manner of their disbursement. Now let me give a brief account of a few things in this connection which have come directly under my own observation. I have seen yeoman efforts made by the members of Olivet Church to pay Rev. J. r. Thomas, a man who has not any command, even of the English language, the exorbitant salary of $32.50 per week, aside from the "pickings." How well they have succeeded is demonstrated by the fact that the church does not owe him a dollar, but on the contrary he owes the church. Now, $130.00 per month which this uneducated and illiterate preacher receives, is more salary than the city of Chicago pays to many of her school teachers, or to any one on a hundred educated and skilled department chiefs. One hundred and thirty dollars per month is more than many an institution of learning pays her professors who have delved into Greek, Latin and Hebrew; and if this amount is not sufficient to attract an educated preacher it ought, at least, to secure one who is honest even if he is ignorant. But let me continue to recount my observations. I know that a collection of twenty dollars was raised for the benefit of Rev. John H. Greene of Herman Baptist Church, and know also that this man received only one half of this amount. I know that another collection of $13.61 was taken up to employ a detective agency to investigate th alleged killing of Anderson Booker; and I know, too, that no detective agency was employed, and no account rendered as to the money. I know, also, that in May last a candidate for a political office gave Rev. J. F. Thomas a check for $10.00 for Olivet Baptist Church and notwithstanding the check has long since been cashed, I know that the money has not yet found its way into the treasury of the church. Not long ago a Masonic Lodge of this City, gave Rev. J. F Thomas a collection for Olivet Baptist Church; I venture to say that this is the first notice the church has had of it. If you doubt that the donation was made, and the money given to Rev. Thomas in person, go and ask Brother Rankins, Worshipful Master of Mt. Hebron Lodge, No. 29. If these charges are untrue why are they permitted to pass unchallengde? Why are they not contradicted? Why are they not proven to be lies? Why am I not arrested and today languishing behind prison bars? Surely I am not so powerful and mighty as to be above the law, nor so weak and humble as to be beneath its notice. After public notice had been given in the daily press that no more money was needed, I saw Rev. J. F. Thomas lift three collections on a single Sabbath to aid the volcanic refugees of the West Indies, and not a dollar of this money was ever turned over to the Mayor of this City, who was one of a committee of citizens appointed to receive it. Was there ever a more high-handed piece of imposition practiced upon a confiding public? Here is plainly visibly the handiwork of no apprentice, but the stroke of a master hand. It is what men have united in calling "fine work". It is really such "fine work" that one almost doubts his eyes. Rev. Thomas will perform a public service, if, after satisfying his greed for gain, he will then restore, if aynthing is left, the balance of those three collections to their rightful donors. The raising of a collection for charity looks innocent enough, but when it is discovered that every such collection is a great financial opportunity for the preacher, one detects a deeper motive in the work, than the casual observer may see. These collections with their accompanying evils, have actually run riot in Olivet Baptist Church.. It is almost impossible to attend a service of any kind at that church, without the so-called "after collection." Suspicion naturally follows other enterprising features of pastoral work. Think of the "rake-off" in a fish-fry or chitterling supper, given by the preacher. What a "shake down" of candidates for political office, when a preacher volunteers to vote the males of his congregation for "revenue only!" What a scope for "graft," when a preacher manages the sale and purchase of church property! What an ambition for "easy money" when a minister tries to bribe the contractor who is building the house of the Lord! Talk about honesty! Why, the convicts in the penitentiary, and the devils in hell,, are honest, compared with these "Rev." thieves. If you think that Rev. J. F. Thomas has done nothing to develop this field, give him the benefit of the doubt, but as for myself, I suspect that more than one collection has been "held up",, and more than one candidate for public office has cast a check at his feet. Why cannot a preacher leave the "fake collection" and other "skin games' to be operated by the sore footed tramp and the saloon bum? Why can not a minister leave the "shaking down" of candidates to ward healers and crap shooters? Why does not a professed christian minister copy Christ, and not divide honors with tobacco users, whisky drinkers, confidence men, and all the rest? Why doesn't a preacher who engages in the "hold up" business resign from the pulpit and join Harry Tracy, the escaped convict out West? The dividends certainly would be larger. If the thieves of this city had the enterprise and daring displayed by a certain Baptist crook, Chicago would not be a fit place in which to live. Seldom has the hypocrisy of man been more completely exposed to public view, and seldom has there been unearthed more striking examples of graft, loot and theft along so many lines as has been shown to exist in the sacred precincts of one of our city churches. These, therefore, are some of the evils of the pulpit in this city that have come to be unbearable. Theodore W. Jones, 2209 Cottage Grove Avenue. Chicago, Ill. 84 20 S 36 R 42 Rooms for Rent.
