THE BROAD AX United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman The Bold and Daring Advocate of Mob and Lynch Law for Colored Men, Women and Children, Will Speak at Orchestra Hall Tuesday Eve., Nov. 27th. His Chief Stock In Trade Is, "Do You Want Your Beautiful Daughter To Marry A 'Big, Burly Black Nigger'." Many of the Most Prominent Ladies In This City Are Worshippers of the Ranting South Carolina Anarchist! Vol. XII United States Benjam The Bold and of Mob and Ly ored Men, Wor ren, Will Spee Hall Tuesday His Chief Stood "Do You Wan Daughter To Burly Black N Many of the M Ladies In Th shippers of th Carolina Anar In the language of the immortal Thomas Paine who exclaimed "That the world is my country and to do good is my religion" whose memory has been entwined in the hearts of all the noble sons and daughters of liberty, and justice, who have passed on into eternity with him, and those who are following in his footsteps, "These are the times which try men's souls." They are cringing cowards and servile slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three; they who commend the brutalities of the past or the present, assist to sow the seed for future crimes and load the dice against themselves. Therefore it is the solemn duty of every person residing in the great city of Chicago—those who believe in law and order and in fair play to bend their best and their greatest efforts for the purpose of preventing any unlawful acts from being committed on the part of the people Tuesday evening, November 27th, while United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, the bold and bloody advocate of mob and lynch law for Colored men, women and children, will be engaged in speaking at Orchestra Hall. It is true that he is the greatest Ranting Anarchist and by far the rankest enemy to society, law and order to-day in the civilized world. No one realizes the fact more keenly than we do that we are treading on very dangerous ground, and that the rest of our days may be spent in want and in misery. Nevertheless we have fully made up our mind to speak the truth though the heavens fall! In order to be fair in this matter and not having the slightest desire to place the great South Carolina Anarchist, in a false light or position we will first quote from his speech delivered in the United States Senate June 30th, 1898, on the "Annexation of the Hawaiian Island, the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba, we will also quote from some of his other speeches delivered in the Senate and at other places, which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he is absolutely devoid of all honor and that he is a half devil and a half savage, at heart. On the occasion referred to he declared on the floor of the United States Senate that "He was religiously opposed to the annexation of the Islands mentioned, unless the United States Senate would pass an amendment which will declare that the Colored races, the Negroes, the Kanakas, and the Chinese, are incapable of self-government, and that only those should be permitted to participate in the government who have white blood in their veins, in this same speech he expressed grave apprehension as to the final solution of the race problem in this country, and declared that the races are not equal, and never were. Gcd never made them so, and while I subscribe to the doctrine that among the inalienable rights of man is the right of life, liberty and happiness, I declare my unalterable faith in the doctrine that the white race is superior to the Colored, and that 'Niggers' have no rights which white men are bound to respect." On August 4, 1901, Senator Tillman, who is a foul mouthed and contemptible low specimen of humanity, delivered a speech at Marinette, Wis., in which he upheld and advocated mob and lynch law, and the shotgun policy for black men, women and children only, and in winding up his treasonable and murderous speech he wanted to know why the whites of Wisconsin did not try the bleaching process by marrying the, 5,000 black men in that state. Two or three weeks before Postmaster Baker and his innocent little baby were shot to death at Lake City, S. C., their bodies burned up in his house which was set on fire in the dead hours of the night by red handed bloodthirsty white savages, his wife and his other children wounded and driven to the woods, and not one of them were charged with the awful crime of raping white women. Benjamin R. Tillman stood up in the United States Senate and gleefully related how he and his compatriots in crime and bloody assassination in S. C., had illegally disfranchised the 'Niggers' in that state, and in order to get and retain control of the ballot box and the election machinery in his state they were forced to shoot down some of the Negroes, who insisted upon clinging to their political rights." Right here we must pause for a few moments to state that we honestly believe that his intemperate speech at that time contributed to the death of Postmaster Baker and his little child and that he was largely responsible for the striking down of President William McKinley, by the hand of one HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 24, 1906. of his own tribe, and it is not unreasonable to infer that some of the blood of these three victims of so much disorder, mob and lynch law can be traced within thousand miles of the garments of Benjamin R. Tillman. On May 14, 1902, the cracked brained South Carolina Anarchist, delivered another speech in the United States Senate, on "The Phillipine civil government bill." He openly and brazenly gloated over the fact that "the whites residing in Mississippi, S. C. and in the other Southern states resort to the shotgun policy in order to suppress the Negro vote, and to maintain the supremacy of the whites." Some of the manly students took exceptions to his remarks and the kissed him, and he turned upon them like a rough house prize fighter of the John L. Sullivan stripe and he fair shrieked at the top his voice "All those in the room who want their beautifl daughters or sisters to marry a big black burly 'Nigger', stand on the feet." Of course no one stood up, and the manly students were hissed and jeered at. This is the brutal method, which Senator Tillman resorts to, in order to effectively manufacture race prejudice against that class of Negro who earnestly desire to become us. Before resuming his seat Senator Tillman, who should be confined in some crazy house for the remainder of his days, in behalf of justice and humanity, stood up in the midst of the other Senators, shaking and tossing his brainless head from side to side, raging, snorting, and bellowing like a big South Carolina mad bull, and exclaimed that "when we get ready to put a 'Nigger's face in the sand we put his body there too. The South will not submit to Negro domination. The threat of Negro domination hangs over us like the sword of Damocles. Lynchings will continue as long as those flends outrage our wives and daughters." One or two Senators endeavored to demonstrate with Senator Tillman and they very politely suggested that all "the Colored men, mobbed and lynched in the South are not guilty of raping white women, at that he turned upon them like an untamed savage, and roaring like a wild maniac, shouted at the top of his Anarchistic voice, what "Do you want your beautiful daughter to marry a big burly black Nigger?" It will be recalled that only a few years ago, Senator Tillman addressed the students at the university of Ann Harbor, Mich. It was the graduating exercises, and three or four young Colored men were sitting in the audience among some of the white students who had studied with them for several years, the white students entertaining no outward signs of race prejudice on account of the color of their skin. Senator Tillman, happened to notice this, and in order to insult and to show his utter contempt mark you! But for the entire Negro race, stopped in the midst of his lecture and evclaimed, "It makes no difference how much education you instill into the 'Nigger', all you have to do is to scratch just the least bit of the veneer off of him, and he is still a savage and a beast." Some of the manly students took exceptions to his remarks and they kissed him, and he turned upon them like a rough house prize fighter of the John L. Sullivan stripe and he fairly shrieked at the top his voice "All those in the room who want their beautiful daughters or sisters to marry a big black burly 'Nigger', stand on their feet." Of course no one stood up, and the manly students were hissed and jeered at. This is the brutal method, which Senator Tillman resorts to, in order to effectively manufacture race prejudice against that class of Negroes who earnestly desire to become useful and respectable citizens in the communities in which they reside. Thursday evening October 13, 1904 Senator Tillman made or attempted to make a speech at the Stock Yards, in this city, but as we have stated many times in the columns of this paper, at no time nor place can he open his mouth to speak on any subject, with out dragging in the Negro, for he has built up his popularity by boldly advocating mob and lynch law for Colored people, and by walking over their dead bodies. While attempting to deliver his speech at the Stock Yards in the interest of the Democratic party, Senator Tillman, right in the first part of his wild and unlawful vaporings, declared: "I shall speak plainly on the race issue, yes in the South we keep the Colored man, down, and personally, I never expect to see a week go by without some lynch horror," as the meeting progressed Senator Tillman whose chief stock in trade on all occasions is "Would you let your daughter marry a "Nigger," warmed up under the fire of the Socialists, and again went off half-cocked on the "Negro Question," he referred to the fact that "a little white girl and a little black boy appeared on the platform at the Republican National Convention and waved flags:" he bellowed out that "exhibition meant nothing more than that the President of the United States will wield all his power, all his influence, for the equality of the races, that he was in favor of that little white girl marrying a "Nigger, when she grew up, that the President stood ready for social equality and the amalgamation of the races. He meant that when that boy got old enough he might marry that white girl and raise a breed of mulattoes." "I ain't got much senatorial digity," he exclaimed, as he grasped a card which had been handed to him by some of the Socialists, which contained a few of the many cutting questions propounded to him, and after glaring at it he shouted: "Great God! That card has Socialism on one side Senator Tillman Sees Great Race War Coming In Speech At Augusta, Ga., He Says White Men Are United For Supremacy. Amalgamation Is Hope Of Negroes In the South. Favors Passport System for Roving Colored Men And Mounted Police. The above heading and the following account of the speech, delivered by United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman at Augusta, Ga., October 7th, 1906, is reproduced in full from The Chicago Examiner, Monday, morning, October 8th, and Senator Tillman proves himself a self-confessed advocate of mob and lynch law, and that he has been an active participant in three race riots which should forever double damn him in the estimation of all decent and law abiding citizens! "Augusta, Ga., Oct. 7.—Speaking to 4,000 people to-night at the Augusta Lyceum on the race problem, United State Senator Tillman of South Carolina declared that the South is on the verge of a great race war. Tillman said in part: "I am not an alarmist; I have studied conditions in the South for forty years, having an experience extending back from old plantation days before the war, through reconstruction down to the present time. I have been an active participant in three race riots. "There are some people who say that a race problem settled itself, but I make the prediction that in less than ten years, I fear less than five, there will be an immense number of bloody race riots North and South, and social equality, amalgamation, misegenation, hell and damnation, on the other side, you want to thrust upon us the doctrine that the "Nigger, is as good as the White." As Senator Tillman, would persist in harping on the Negro, in his effort to drive all the Colored men out of the Democratic party, the Socialists finally asked him. "Whose "Nigger are you, anyway." That question floored Senator Tillman, and he completely lost his bearings. He was unable to cuss or say one word for a few minutes, and throughout the meeting he answered the last question, by his actions, for he clearly demonstrated that he is the very coarsest type of "Nigger;" that he is unable to discuss grave and important questions without dragging the Negro into it, in the most hellish and damnable manner: Lastly, no one more earnestly desires that friendly and harmonious relations should exist between the races in this country, than we do. But such relations, cannot exist until the vast majority of the American people refrain from, indiscriminately branding all the Negroes as criminals and as aliens in a strange land, then, and not until then, will the vexious race problem, disappear from these beautiful shores as silently and as noiselessly, as the peaceful river, which flows, on and on between its banks, without a ripple or a murmer into the deep blue sea! No. 5 beside the Atlanta riot will pale into significance. White Men United. "I lay down the following proposition, which cannot be disputed: "First, white men of the South are united and determined as never before to maintain white supremacy, politically and socially, in every part of the Southern states. "Second Negroes were never more intent on contesting in every way that they dare this position of the whites, the Republican national government aiding and abetting this idea. "Third, Race hatred in every form is growing in intensity with both races. "Fourth, Lynching for criminal attack will continue as long as crime is committed. Escape of guilty inlames whites, precipitates riots and causes innocent Negroes to suffer. "Fifth, Amalgamation is the hope and ultimate purpose of the Negroes. White men are rendering them great aid in this by intimacy with the Negro women. The line must be drawn as sternly between white men and Negro women as between black men and white women. How to Prevent Attacks. "Sixth. The burning issue is how to prevent and not avenge criminal attack, and lynching has failed. The superior race should protect many millions of innocent Negroes from false teachers and bad leaders, who are rapidly driving whites to desperation that means a race war that can only result in the destruction of the weaker race." After studying the problem and considering every conceivable plan for the protection of white women against Negro assailants he concluded that there was only one effective way. This plan is the establishing of a European system of passport, coupled with a large increase in the number of officers of the law, most of whom are to be stationary or live at home, and mounted policemen, ever on the move in Negro communities to track down all suspicious and dangerous characters. He referred to the roving class of Negroes claiming to be workmen in saw mills, on railroad gangs, etc., who were always of a most depraved character, as: "Worthless scum of a race, these are the creatures who are attacking our women and precipitating riots." Result of Reconstruction. He declared the only place for these was among the Northerners, whose scheme of reconstruction produced them. He declared that if all were shot like wild beasts the country would be better off, but that was unlawful. Therefore, when they were (Continued on Page 3) THE BROAD AX PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

Let the Negroes who are talking of mobbing Senator Tillman when he lectures in Chicago take advice and give up a project which can only get themselves into trouble. Nobody, white or black, is going to be mobbed in this town, least of all when the purpose is publicly announced in advance. The police department is fully capable of taking care of rioters and the Negroes who are talking mob law will do well to bear the fact in mind. It is, of course, a reproach to the self-respect of Chicago that Mr. Tillman should be invited to lecture here at all, but the reproach is not upon the Negroes, who have no use for him, but upon the white people who not only invite him but who actually pay him for insulting them to their faces. For that is the cold truth of the matter. Senator Tillman incidentally drags out the "Nigger" scarecrow, but the burden of his speeches is that the white people of the north are a poor, mean-spirited lot to whom the southerners are infinitely superior,. He is justined, in a measure, by the fact that the northerners listen to his insulting tirades and give him money for abusing them in their own homes, so to speak. Mr. Tillman is an imitator and follower o the late Sam Jones, who got rich by blackguarding people who paid to hear him rant. It is a singular and discreditable thing that a large proportion of people will listen with interest to a man with a vicious tongue, though they will not go across the street to hear a true orator and philosopher. It thus results that lyceum bureaus engage men like Mr. Tillman because such men attract audiences. There are plenty of intelligent, cultivated southern orators who could come to Chicago or any other northern community and deliver addresses upon political or social problems, but there is no demand for such speakers. Lyceum audiences prefer the whipcracking, blackguardish plantation style of oratory and they get it. That is the shame of it. The reproach, however, is upon the white people and not upon the Negroes. Mr. Tillman vilifies the Negroes along with the whites, but the Negroes do not, at least, pay him for doing it. Hence they have no mission to regulate the senator from South Carolina. If they did have such a mission the police would not allow them to fulfill it—The Chicago Chronicle. The Chronicle has hit the bulls eye right square in the center. WASHINGTON ENDORSES TILL MAN BLOW. Our old friend, Hon. John P. Green, and his associates on the committee at Cleveland, Ohio, are to be congratulated on the protest so effectually made against "Pitchfork" Tillman discussing the race problem in a lecture to be delivered in that city next month. With commendable courage and wisdom, this Colored committee went to those having the lecture in charge and objected to the South Carolina senator touching upon anything calculated to disturb the amity existing between the races, the result being that the notorious race hatred agitator was bound down by contract not to touch upon the race problem. This is a great victory for the Colored people—and the whites as well—of Cleveland. Any man, either white or black, who seeks to foment bad feeling between the races is the enemy to both, and should by all means be suppressed.—Washington Bee. M. DR. SARAH G. BUCKLEY.

Tillman is slated to speak in Cleveland in the teachers' lecture course Wednesday, Dec. 19, 1906. There will be some interesting happenings before that day, not least of which will be a united request from the Afro-American people of Cleveland that Tillman's engagement be cancelled "for the good of the community." In supporting this plea, The Cleveland Journal has desired and advocated a policy of frank firmness coupled with respect. We think very little is accomplished by "bulldozing," bluffing and long range spouting. Brains must be met with brains; manhood with manhood Two weeks ago we advised the people to write Prof. Welmer a letter and "request," not demand, that he cancel Tillman's engagement. We are gratified to learn that so many responded to the suggestion. However, we cannot endorse the blood and thunder, demanding letters that have been written. These will only make a bad matter worse. The Afro-American people of Cleveland want Tillman suppressed. As long as he advocates murder and anarchy, they want him kept from making public utterances in Cleveland. His very presence is obnoxious, his being is odious to those who love liberty and justice. Of this feeling, let the world know. We have a right to protest against those who advocate our extermination and the stronger we do so the more respect the people will have for us.-The Journal Cleveland, Ohio. SENATOR TILLMAN. Senator Tillman of South Carolina was engaged to lecture in a teachers' course in Cleveland next month, but representative Negro citizens protested against his appearance there. Later it was said that if the southerner did lecture in Cleveland he would be "muzzled" so far as the race question is concerned. This stipulation was not satisfactory to Mr. Tillman and the engagement was canceled. Dr. Gunsaulus of this city will declure in place of the senator.—The Chicago Chronicle.

Some of the ladies connected with the Chicago Union Hospital, bitterly complain and state, that as that institution, permits Colored people to enter it and to receive treatment therein, that they show their ungratefulness by opposing the coming of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman to this city to lecture for its benefit. We wish to assure the ladies who assume this position that the Colored people in this city entertain the most kindly feeling for the Chicago Union Hospital. That some of them in connection with the writer are willing to contribute $100, on short notice to the institution providing those having charge of it will not try to ram Senator Tillman down the throats of the law abiding Afro-Americans residing in Chicago. TILLMAN'S ELOQUENT LECTURE CANCELLED. Colored Citizens Vigorously Protest Against His Appearance in Cleveland. Armed with a vigorous protest against the appearance of Senator Ben Tillman in the Teachers' institute lecture course of this city December 19th, a delegation of Colored citizens of Cleveland, lawyers, physicians, ministers and business men called on Chairman Sol Welmer of the lecture course committee Tuesday afternoon. They were headed by John P. Green former government official and legislator. "With Governor Vardaman and the Rev. Thomas Dixon this man Tillman was responsible for the Atlanta massacre," declared Green. "We believe it inimical to the best interests not only of the Colored people of Cleveland but to the community at large to have this man, with the fresh blood of the Atlantans in his hands, appear in public address here. "He is worse than Catiline of old, and we protest against the importation of such a fellow to take a part indirectly though it be, in the instruction of young men." Tillman was invited to appear here by the committee of which Professor Welmer is the head but with the express stipulation that he was not to broach the race issue. Tillman has not yet been informed of the stipulation, as the committee was in search of a man with sufficient powers to properly impress the idea on Tillman's mind.-The Cleveland News. SENATOR TILLMAN'S LECTURE ENGAGEMENT CANCELED. Just as we were going to press announcement was made that the lecture engagement of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, which was to have been filled in the teachers' course in this city Dec. 19, has been canceled. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, has been selected to fill the engagement and will appear Dec. 11.—The Journal Cleveland, Ohio. TILLMAN, THE PROFESSIONAL. Senator Tillman is said to have made $25,000 per year during several years by his lecture engagements. The circumstance is creditable to his industry and thrift, but it is not creditable to the self-respect of the people who have paid him the money. Practically every dollar of this $25,000 per year has been paid to Senator Tillman by lecture bureaus, Chautauquas and similar organizations in the northern states. These organizations got the money from northern people, who paid it in at box office window or at fair ground turnstiles. So far as we can learn Senator Tillman is not at all in demand in the southern states as a lecturer. The amazing and discreditable thing is that he should be in demand at the north. It is amazing and discreditable because it shows that northern audiences of lecture goers enjoy being insulted to their faces. They pay money to Senator Tillman and in return he winds the lash of his black-snake whip around their legs, tells them what abject, mean-spirited cattle they are and laughs scornfully as he flings taunts and jeers at them. What is the matter with the white people of the northern states that they will thus reward a man for insulting them? Is it possible that Senator Tillman is right and that they enjoy being sipped in the face? How otherwise account for Mr. Tillman's $25,000 a year drawn from northern pocket-books? The quarrel is not—or should not be—between the Negroes of the north and Senator Tillman but between the white people of the north and that person. The Negroes do not go to hear him lecture and his Negro baiting is merely incidental to his main policy, which is to heap insult and abuse upon northern white men and white women. That is the head and front of his offending. If the white people north did not in a measure justify Senator Tillman's low estimate of them they would not go to hear him lecture; they would not put money in his pocket in return for scorn and contempt and injurious characterization. It may have been inadvertence which caused them to patronize his lectures at first, but they can not escape the reproach of objectness if they continue to do so, knowing him and his methods. If the white people of the north develop enough self-respect to stay away from Senator Tillman's yankee-baiting seances there will be no further lawless and incendiary mob talk by Chicago Negroes, because Mr. Tillman will not find it profitable to lecture in this or any other northern community. That is the situation. Let the northern whites summon their self-respect and let northern blacks bear in mind that incitement to riot is a penitentiary offense.—The Chicago Chronicle, Nov. 22. BEN. R. TILLMAN'S SEEMING FRANKNESS. Expressions Lead to Anarchy and Friction—Georgia Woman Asks What Will Be Done With White (New York Evening Post, Oct. 8.) Senator Tillman's views on the Negro question have the great merit of frankness. But, if we may judge by the telegraphed reports, they still lead directly to anarchy, to say nothing of friction between the north and the south. He would send all vicious Negroes to the north, and insists that the south shall pay no further attention "to all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell." "We must cease to ponder," he declares, "else we will soon be forced to go to shooting. And Negroes, too, will begin to kill when they begin to believe that the color of the skin is a death warrant, regardless of good behavior." But his most significant utterance is that touching upon the notorious relations of white men with Colored women. This is a subject that can only be briefly touched upon in the newspapers; but it is suggestive that it has suddenly begun to appear in the southern press. We reprinted on Friday last a letter from a southern white woman to the Atlanta Georgian, dwelling upon this misconduct of the white men. In the same paper of Sept. 29, another woman writes from Washington, Ga.: "Let me ask, what are we going to do with the white brute?" and adds: How many Colored girls of Georgia reach the years of maturity before they are in the toils of some white, must I say man? Some one will say the Negro does not know of, or care for, a better life. Who is responsible for this state of affairs? Through the years of their slavery, when they had no way of learning only from their masters, what did we teach them? Great Arising Among the Afro- Americans In Chicago This Week. COMMITTEE VISITS MAYOR EDWARD F. DUNNE HEADED BY REV. A. J. CAREY. WONDERFUL OUTPOURING OF THE PEOPLE AT THE BETHEL CHURCH THURSDAY EVENING—PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CONDEMNED FOR DISCHARGING SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT. RESOLUTIONS PASSED URGING THE COLORED PEOPLE TO BE PEACEABLE AND LAW-ABIDING AND TO MAKE NO UNFRIENDLY DEMONSTRATION WHEN SENATOR TILLMAN STRIKES CHICAGO The past week has been a history making epoch among the Afro-Americans residing in Chicago, and it shows, that the race is thoroughly united in every way to prevent if possible, any friction between the two races in this city which has been so friendly in the past, to prevent, United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman from coming here, and boldly advocating mob and lynch law and the shotgun policy for Colored men, women and children. Tuesday morning a committee headed by Rev. A. J. Carey, one of the manly and fearless A. M. E. preachers in this city; called on Mayor Edward F. Dunne. The full committee consisted of Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Bethel Church; Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Quinn Chapel; Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor Olivet Baptist Church, Rev H. E. Stewart, pastor of Institutional Church; Rev. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Wayman Chapel; Attorneys Walter M. Farmer, Robert M. Mitchell and S. A. McElwee; and Messrs. John Q. Grant, J. Albert Jaxon, Noah D. Thompson, and Julius F. Taylor Its chief spokesman Rev. A. J. Carey and other members of the committee, assured his Honor; that, the great mass of the Colored people in this city, were in favor of law and order, and that they did not believe, that it would be conductive to the best interest of both races to permit Senator Tillman to come here at this time and advocate mob and lynch law, for Colored people only. Mayor Dunne was greatly impressed by the visit of the committee as he knew them to be men of standing and influence; and he assured the committee, that he would do everything in Are we still trying to teach them morality? It is interesting to note that the Georgian's editor heads this letter "A Home Thrust on Morals." BLACK BLOOD AND WHITE Rev. Frank C. Bruner Defends the Election of Negro Judge. Rev. Frank C. Bruner of Oakwoods Union church, last Sunday preached on "Our Brother in Black—What?" He took for his text Acts xvll, 26: "And God hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." "The whole trend of bible history is permeated with the story of master and slave," he said. "A clear revision of the scriptures might make a translation of oneness. If you were to put a drop of black man's blood under the microscope and scientifically analyze the same you would find it tantamount in quality to a white man's. It produces the same conditions of intelligence when given the same opportunity in education and longevity as a white man's. his power, to urge Senator Tillman not to, touch upon mobbing and lynching Colored people in his lecture at Orchestra Hall, Tuesday evening, November 27th. Thursday evening the greatest Mass meeting ever held among the Afro-Americans in this city was held at Bethel Church 30th and Dearborn st. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., called the meeting to order; Rev. Jordan Chavis, D. D., presided. Bishop Shaffer attorney; Walter M. Farmer, Presiding; Elder T. Reeves; lawyer, B. F. Moseley, Rev. D. P. Roberts and Rev. A. J. Carey were the principal speakers. Rev. E. D. W. Jones, D. D. read the memorial, to President Roosevelt, imploring him not to dishonorably discharge the three companies of the 25th Regiment without further investigation. Bishop Shaffer, Rev. D. P. Roberts, Walter M. Farmer, and Rev. Chavis, in the most eloquent, and vigorous language which has ever fell from the lips of man, urged the adoption of the resolution which went through without a descenting voice. Rev. A. J Carey read the resolution calling on the pastors of the various churches throughout the city, to admonish the members of their congratulations, at both the morning and the evening services this coming Sunday, to be cool and calm, peaceable and law-abiding and not to commit any rash acts, or assemble in front of Orchestra Hall, Tuesday evening November 27th, when Senator Tillman speaks there. All in all; it was a rousing meeting and it was a history making epoch among the Colored people of Chicago "We are inclined in Chicago to do other things somewhat on the radical line. Then why turn down this black brother in recognition? If we have been correctly informed they now have Colored judges in aristocratic Boston and Washington, D. C. It is not a question of desire or prejudice, but justice that the black man merits. The Creator has made us all of one blood, no difference how much we may protest." If there is one true Christian Preacher in this World, that Preacher is the noble hearted and fair minded Rev. Frank C. Bruner.—Editor. A SHAME ON THE PRESIDENT. From the time Crispus Attucks shed his blood upon the streets of Boston until the gallant Tenth Calvary charged up the hill at San Juan, no indignity heaped upon the heads of colored men who have shed their blood to preserve this Union equals the one placed upon their brows by the orders of President Roosevelt in discharging Companies B. C, and D, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry of the United States Army, forsooth, because they would not act as spies and traitors at the behest of an investigator, or on orders of their commander-in-chief. President Roosevelt's son refused to give evidence against a comrade in school and the whole country applauded, but when the same test is applied to three companies of Negro soldiers, even the President himself orders that they be discharged. Shame on the President. Men whom have grown grey in the service of their country, tunnred loose alike mangy curs to go through the world with the brand of Calm upon their brows. No such punishment was ever placed on the records of this country. And it was President Roosevelt that placed it there.—The Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md.

Attorney-at-Law, and member of the committee which called on Mayor Dunne Tuesday, and eloquently requested him for the sake of peace and harmony between the races in this city, to use his great office, to prevent Senator Tillman, from advocating mob and lynch law in his forthcoming speech at Orchestra Hall, Tuesday evening November 27th. PRESIDENT APPOINTS SOUTH- ERN DEMOCRAT. Washington, November 11.—A. F. McIlhenny, of New Orleans, and a Democrat, is slated to succeed A. W. Cooley, of New York, on the civil service commission. Gov. Broward of Florida has declared that lynching must be stopped in that state. The new state of Oklahoma is to start in under a constitution providing for separate schools, separate "Jim Crow" cars and about all of the genuine southern ideas of government in relation to its Negro citizens. And this is the new state government authorized by a congress possessed of a Republican majority of 112. It really looks as though Afro-Americans are going to wait until they are kicked out of this country by both parties before they attempt to provide a "city of refuge for themselves."—The Informer Detroit, Mich. BLACK MEN WIN SUCCESS IN OIL FIELD. Black Diamond Development Co., of Chicago Will Sink 27 Wells on Its Holding in Chanuate Field—Gas to Be Sold to Kansas Natural. Fred Wescott and Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams have returned to Chicago after coming here to look after the work being done in the development of the Black Diamond Development Company's holding, six miles southeast of Chanute. Dr. Williams is treasurer of the company, and Mr. Wescott is manager. They stated, before leaving, that work will begin Wednesday of this week on the sinking of twenty-seven new wells. William A. Webber, the local representative of the company, has taken the contract for doing the work, and has a rig on the property, all ready to begin. The company now has five wells, with a combined daily output of 12 million cubic feet of gas, which it has contracted to sell to the Kansas Natural Gas company. Mr. Wescott will be the selling agent. While here he purchased the pipe for a gas line which will extend from the Black Diamond holdings to the Kansas Natural's mains. This line will be of five inch pipe, and will be about five miles long. It will be laid at once. The Black Diamond company was organized October 24th of last year. It is made up almost entirely of black men. Mr. Wescott being the only Caucasian who has anything to do with it. Dr. Williams is a prominent physician and surgeon, and the head of the Provident hospital in Chicago. His associates are also prominent in professional life. The company expects to be paying dividends by July 1st of next year. The decision to continue the work of development was reached at a meeting of the board of directors held in Chicago the first of this month, at which Mr. Wescott was tendered a vote of thanks for his efficient management and unanimously chosen to succeed himself as business manager. It was at this meeting that the directors voted to go ahead with development, and authorized the making of a contract for the sinking of twenty-seven more wells and the purchase of leases covering seven times as much land as the company had when it began business.—From the Daily Tribune Chanute, Kansas, November 20, 1906. Senator Tillman Sees Great Race War Coming. unable to produce passports they should be placed on chain gangs until reformed or compelled to leave the country. He said no further concessions should be made to various objectors. "We must cease to ponder," he said, "else we will soon be forced to go to shooting." Unless something was done soon white men in remote and unprotected sections would be forced to either exterminate bad Negroes or move to town to safeguard women, and they were not going to move. "And Negroes too, will begin to kill when they begin to believe color of skin is a death warrant regardless of good behavior." He declared that the white men of the South should go ahead and do what they believed was right in this matter regardless "of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and Hell." His closing remarks were pictures of the horrors of miscegenation, to which he affirmed the country was surely coming unless conditions changed." As stated above this speech, can be found in the Chicago Examiner, October 8, 1906, and we gladly publish it for the edification of the prominent society ladies, who are connected with the Chicago Union Hospital, who seem determined to bring Senator Tillman to this city for the avowed purpose of creating a bitter feeling between the whites and the Afro-Americans in Chicago.

The eloquent and race loving pastor of Bethel Church, chairman and chief spokesman for the committee which called on Mayor Dunne Tuesday to urge him to use his great power and influence with those responsible for bringing Senator Tillman to this city, to urge him not to advocate the shotgun policy for all Negroes in his lecture at Orchestra Hall Tuesday evening November 27th.

(Concluded from Page 1.) REV. A. J. CAREY. AGENT FOR THE BLACK DIAMOND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. Henry Jones, representing "Pittsburgh, Pa." stockholders of the Black Diamond Development Company addressed the meeting of stockholders at Bethel Church Tuesday night. Henry Jones Pittsburgh, Pa., was sent to Chicago to attend the stockholders meeting of the Black Diamond Development Company held at Bethel Church Tuesday night, and as a delegate represented all of the Pittsburgh stockholders. Mr. Jones spent several days in looking over the affairs of the Black Diamond Development Company, and at the close of the meeting asked permission to say a few words to the people. He stated that he had carefully looked into the affairs of the Company, had had the pleasure of meeting every member of the Board of Directors, and after listening to the addresses that night wanted the people of Chicago to know how proud he was to be a stockholder in this great corporation, and that when he returned to Pittsburgh he would be glad to tell those who had sent him as a delegate that they had not only been fortunate in purchasing Black Diamond Development Company stock but that there was an opportunity for them to secure a small amount of this stock at 25c per share, and that Pittsburgh better buy all they could get. He also warned the Chicago stockholders, and there were more than 200 present, that if they did not buy all of the stock offered at 25c per share before he got back to Pittsburgh that his friends would certainly buy it all. One of Mr. Jones' remarks which gave expression of his devotion to the Black Diamond Development Company was that all the Company needed could be represented by three "G's" Grace Greenbacks and Grit, and that they did not need but very little of the Greenbacks nor Grit, as their success was made, and only a little work remained undone to put their entire output of gas into the Kansas City pipe line.

The Catholics And the "Nigger" Judge. Some Hard Or Sound Nuts For Roger C. Sullivan and His Henchmen to Crack. THE NEGRO BISHOP IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STILL LIVES THE EMPTY HEADED EDITORS OF REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS WHACKED OVER THEIR COCOANUT PATES! Bishop is Not Dead. —The reported death of Msgr. Gomez Pimento, Bishop of Mariana, Brazil, and the only Negro member of the Catholic Hierarchy, is not true. The above item is taken from the last issue of The New World, edited by the Rev. Father Judge and the organ of Archbishop Quigley, head of the great Archdiocese, of Chicago From this it appears that the great Catholic Church can make a "Nigger" a Bishop when it finds one with the qualities of head and heart which fit him for the exalted office. And it does not make him a Bishop for the "Niggers" only as Colored Bishops are made by several of the Protestant churches in our free land. Bishop Pimento is the head of a whole diocese, black and white. In the person of the late Father Tolton we had in this city an example of the willingness of the Catholic Church to ordain into its priesthood a worthy "Nigger," Father Tolton was born in slavery and when his brave mother ran to the North, just before the close of the war of the rebellion, a reward was offered for the little band of "Niggers" whether captured "dead or alive." Mrs. Tolton was a plous Catholic and when travelling through the marshes and woods to freedom promised God to give her boy to the church if the party reached the north safely. The church authorities sent her black boy to Rome where he was educated and treated with every kindness. He returned to America a Latin, French, German Mr. P. J.

Avendorph at Rosalie Hall, Mon. evening 26th, blids fair to be the swellest event of the month, for all of the smart set receiving invitations have responded favorably. On Monday evening last, a large number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Ratcliff, 4850 Dearborn st., and tendered a surprise to Mrs. Ratcliff in honor of her birthday. She received a number of nice presents, and a joyous evening was spent by all present. Mess. Cuffer, Camp, Jackson, Napier, P. W. Johnson & McAllister are active members of the board of management for the "Old Folk's Home," they know the many needs of the home, and hope the Ball for the benefit of the Home. Thanksgiving night Spanish, Italian and English scholar and was treated by the venerable Archbishop Feehan as a son Why, then, is it that in civil life the Democratic politicians who call themselves Catholics are making so unearthly and anti-Christian howl about the election of a "Nigger" to a Municipal Court judgeship? If Roger C. Sullivan or any one of his tribe of Catholic policitians were injured seriously and thought he was in danger of death, would he not be glad to beg absolution at the hands of Bishop Pimento, Father Tolton—if alive—or any other "Nigger" priest who could be found in the emergency? Are these gnetlemen Catholics only on Sunday, or only in their deathbeds, or only "Catholics for revenue?" As to the Republicans they are too contemptible to be questioned. They hypocritically profess to be the champions and guardians of the Colored people, but when the clamor of race hatred rises against the "Nigger Judge" every Republican paper—except The Inter Ocean jolns in the mad howl, the mildest of them calling his election "inopportune." The Negro is denounced as worthless if he has no ambition and if he shows ambition and has the training to justify his ambition he is called an insolent, presumptious "Nigger." Between "friend" and foo what chance he has? Well, at least, he can live a decent, moral life as Judge Barnett does, not such a life as is led by some of the drunken licentious beasts who edit Republican papers in Chicago. at the Armory will be well patronized by all pleasure seekers who desire to do a good turn for charity while enjoying themselves There is no objection to Chief Collins furnishing a bodyguard to Senator Tillman, but if it would be strictly legal and if Tillman and the Negroes desired it The Chronicle would not object to the senator and his Colored enemies being locked up in a room and allowed to settle their differences in their own way. The trouble would be about the gate money. Tillman is making $30,00 a year by insulting northern people to their faces and he would not, of course, be willing to divide it with anyone.—The Chicago Chronicle, November 23.

Mme, Andreef was the wife of a broker on the St. Petersburg bourse. She was killed by her husband in a St. Petersburg summer garden. The Novoe Vremya tells this story of a pearl necklace the woman was wearing when she met her death: "It is an old piece of work by one of the best Parisian jewelers. It had been sold first to the head of a well known French court family. In the excitement of the great French revolution nearly all the members of this family were gullotined, and only a few of them managed to escape to Brussels and so save their lives. But the flight cost a lot of money, and they were obliged to part with many fine jewels, among them the necklace in question. From the time that they got rid of this article they enjoyed good fortune. "This cherished jewel, after changing hands about ten times, was bought by the St. Petersburg jeweler Butz for 40,000 rubles ($20,600) for Prince V—who was at that time a leading man at court. The prince, who was a great lover of the ballet, gave the necklace to the well known ballerina Tzukik. For having done this he was exiled from St. Petersburg. Tzukik left the imperial ballet, and, finding her health falling, she went to her native countryside and abandoned the stage forever. But before doing so she sold the necklace. "A subsequent owner, the antiquarian Llinitvich, died suddenly at Monte Carlo, and a whole series of people afterward who came into possession of the fated necklace had most sinister experiences. One of these, a gambler at Monte Carlo, lost all his money, and only the sale of the necklace saved him from bergary. "Finally it fell into the hands of M. Andreef. He paid the low price of 20,000 rubles ($10,300) for it, and his wife was wearing it when in a fit of anger he killed her, to whom he had but a short time ago presented the unlucky token. The necklace has now mysteriously disappeared." Kosenth and Dr. Murray. Kossum and Dr. Murray. The freedom of the burgh of Hawick, Scotland, was recently conferred on Dr. J. A. H. Murray, the lexicographer. Dr. Murray was once a teacher in Hawick. It is told that when Kossuth, the Hungarian patrol, visited Hawick in 1856 and took part in a procession through the town he quickly discerned a Hungarian flag on a house in Bourtree place with a Hungarian motto upon it. The future lexicographer was seated beside Kossum, who remarked to him, with amazement, "Have you got Hungarians here?" "A young teacher named James Murray," he replied, "made the flag and inscribed the motto," and when asked if he knew the meaning of the motto said, "Thy kingdom come." It was the home of the Murray family on which the flag was hoisted. Identification Bank Tags. Certain Manhattan national banks have lately been presenting to depositers miniature aluminium tags adapted to be strung on key rings. It is intended that these souvenirs shall serve a dual purpose, return of keys in the event of losing same and identification of owner in case of accident. Incidentally the tags officiate as clever advertisements for the financial institutions. Stamped on the obverse is the following announcement: "The — National bank will identify owner by No. (depositor's number here), city of New York." On the reverse appears this offer: "One dollar reward for return of keys or mail in any letter box, at same time sending us your name and address."—New York Press. Chief Godfrey. Chief Gabriel Godfrey, the last of the Miami Indians, has just become a member of the Horse Thief Detective association. He is seventy-four years old. While in Kokomo, Ind., recently he undertook to locate the grave of the Miami chief Kokomo in order that the residents of the city might erect a monument in memory of the noted chief for whom the town was named. Godfrey had a number of relics, including a dress 125 years old that was worn by Frances Slocum, who was stolen when a child from Susuehanna, Pa., and was known as "the White Rose of the Miami." The Kind of News to Print. At the meeting of the Institute of Journalists of Great Britain and Ireland, recently held in Dublin, the retiring president, Major Gratwicke, concluded his address by discussing the kind of news that newspapers might with propriety publish and, disclaiming all prudishness, enunciated the dictum that "a man should not write for the columns of a newspaper that which he would not like his wife or his child, his mother or his sister to read." Good Tenors Are Scarce Recent examinations at the Paris Conservatory of Music show that good tenors are steadily getting scarcer and that hardly any of the applicants have been able to reach the high C or even the B flat of the scale. Physicians think the deficiency of tenors is due to violent exercises young men indulge in under the guise of sport, which ruins the vocal chords. Is This So? The average magazine is a literary swill barrel, and the man who conducts it enjoys no acquaintance with real literature or he would not occupy his position. To know literature would destroy his taste for trash, and trash is what he has to purvey in order to retain his constituency. — Chicago Chronicle.
