THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The Suffrage Situation in the Southern States The Actual Issue in Those States. And a Statement of Facts by Joseph C. Manning. The Able and Brilliant Editor of the Southern American. Vol. XIV The Suffrage Situation The Actual I States. And a Statement of Fact The Able and Brilliant American. President McKinley entered the White House in 1897 with 1,025,130 votes having been cast for him in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. This heavy vote given McKinley in these Southern states in 1896 was an evidence that the white South was turning toward the Republican party. From 1890 to 1896 there was great political restiveness in the several Southern states. In Louisiana, in 1892, Captain Pharr polled 90,139 votes for governor as the anti-Democratic candidate. In 1892 Captain Kolb had 115,522 votes returned for him as the fusion candidate for governor in Alabama. The Populist-Republican ticket polled 83,181 votes in Alabama in 1892. The fusion ticket in North Carolina polled 148,344 votes in 1894. In 1896 there were 85,832 votes cast for the fusion candidate for governor of Georgia. Many anti-Democratic congressmen from the South had acquired seats in the congress during this while. The rural white counties were voting anti-Democratic. The mountaineers had "gone off from the party!" Something had to be done and that something that was done was the creation of the revised constitutions in these several Southern states. In the group of twelve Southern states which gave their electoral votes to the Democracy in 1904 there were just 1,129,714 Democratic ballots that were cast in all. In this group of states there are 3,317,797 whites, alone, of voting age. The blacks of voting age number 1,548,376. Here is a total of 4,866,173 citizens of voting age and a vote of 1,129,716 determines the political destinies of all these 4866,173 voters. GEORGE T. ANGELL, THE GREAT HUMANITARIAN OF BOSTON PASSES AWAY. George T. Angell, one of the greatest humanitarians living, and the leader and champion in the humane educational movement in this country: passed away in Boston, Mass., last Wednesday in his 86th year. Mr. Angell, was a noble character. His breast was always filled full of sympathy and human kindness, not only for human beings, but for dumb animals as well. For more than fifty years, he was the editor, of that splendid publication, "Our Dumb Animals," and in each and every issue of it; he eloquently and feelingly appealed to the American people to be more humane and considerate in their treatment to all dumb animals under their care. His efforts in this respect, extended throughout the entire civilized world, and with his death, dumb animals have lost their greatest pleader, at the bar of justice. Yet, Taft sees a change for the better in these Southern state constitutions and disfranchisement laws! The total number of males of voting age in Alabama is 232,284 whites and 181,471 blacks, making a total of 412,765. The first general registration of voters in Alabama under the new constitution was announced as 181000. There were not 3,000 blacks registered in the entire state. There are not, in all, 100,000 capable or qualified voters in Alabama under this Bourbon regime; and there are at least 132,294 whites not in the voting, while there are, also, 178,471 blacks cut out from the suffrage. Yet, Taft sees a change for the better in these Southern state constitutions and disfranchisement laws! To ascertain the justice or injustice of a general law one need only to look to its effect upon the people who live under it and whose rights are affected by it. The motive, the letter, the spirit, the enforcement, is best determined by the results which come from its application. The actual results, the cold facts, have been stated. Hundreds and thousands of American citizens in the South are without the sovereignty rights of the American citizen. Whites, as well as blacks constituting a vast majority, are powerless to resist the frauds riveted oligarchy of an insolent force-entrenched political minority! Yet, Taft sees a change for the better in these Southern state constitutions and disfranchisement laws! Excuse us, who are struggling for civil liberty and an actual republican form of government in the states of the South, from the political puerility of this man Taft—The Southern, American, Alexander City, Alabama, March 20, '09. Lost His Case in Judge Freeman's Court, in behalf of his friend. THE NOTORIOUS LOUIS GREEN- BERG. In the good old days of the justice shops in this city and county, Col. Edward H. Morris, who for a long time had the distinction of being the chief attorney for the "Gambler's Trust," and who attempted to defend Dr. Schultz, in the Criminal court, while at the same time he was one of the attorneys for Weber Brothers, who were prosecuting her, with the aid of such fellows as the notorious Louis Greenberg, friend Morris, was able to carry everything before him with a high hand, for be it remembered that Greenberg was ever ready to take desperate chances, in performing his part of the dirty work while raking in the booty and he was known as the highwaymen or as the sandbaging constable of Cook county. CHICAGO, MARCH 27. 1909. 5 The popular commander of the famous Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guards, strong and prominent candidate for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. In those good old days when the felled at 3530 Forest avenue. In those good old days when the fellow with the most money could buy many of the so-called Judges and their justice shops, Greenberg, with a crowd of white and black hyenales called men, would in broad day light break into the homes of those whom he claimed he held judgments against, and in order to satisfy it he and his gang of highway robbers would tote off everything in sight and Col. Morris, was ever ready to defend Greenberg in all law suits instituted against him, so as to enable him to hold on to all the rich spoils he gathered in in his unlawful raids, and to divide it up among his pals and friends in misdeeds. It seems that in April, 1904, Greenberg, raided the home of Mrs. Minnle V. Connor, who at that time lived on Ashland boulevard, but at the present residing in Oak Park, and he carted away $2,500 worth of household furnishings and he sold them so he claimed in order to satisfy a pretended judgment against Mrs. Connor, for $133. In time Mrs. Connor, brought suit against Greenberg in the Superior Court, for $5,000 and the first of this week her case came up before Judge Henry V. Freeman, for trial and Col. Morris was on hand to defend Greenberg his friend and co-worker. During the trial Col. Morris whooped and sorted, all the time pawing the air with his tricky hands and feet. Like any common attorney for the "Gambler's Trust," and he and Greenberg whom we would not trust any further than we would a sheep killing dog, endeavored to convince, the jurors that Mrs. Connor, as dishonest and they attacked her reputation for truth and veracity and after the jurors had become worn out in listening to the lies of Morris and Greenberg, they retired for a short time, then they brought in a verdict against the notorious ex-constable for $3,000 which will hold Morris and Greenberg level for a while at least.

Colored Office Holders Not Acceptable In Any Part of the Country, it Avers Taft's Policy Admission by Republicans That Colored Race is Unworthy, and That the Republican Party Made a Grave Mistake in Giving the Negro the Ballot. The Morning News of Savannah, Ga., of recent date, set forth its views on President Taft's Negro Policy in the South," in the following manner: "A White man has been appointed collector of the port of Charleston and it has been stated that a white man will be appointed collector of this port. A Washington dispatch says that is is clearly understood that it is the purpose of this administration not to appoint Negro officials in communities where they are not acceptable. IT IS DOUBTFUL IF THERE ARE ANY COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE, CERTAINLY NONE IN THE SOUTH. ties Everywhere in the U. S. If the policy of eliminating the Negro from the offices is inaugurated by this administration IT WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE NEGRO IN POLITICS IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. There is no more sympathy with Negro office holding in the North than there is in the South.. That this is so is evident from the fact that Republican administrations haven't made it a point to appoint Negroes to office in the North. They haven't appointed them to important offices even in the Northern states in which they hold the balance of power. They have simply tried to keep the Negro voters in those states loyal to the Republican party by appointing Negroes to important offices in the South. Will Not Have Ang Big Places Outside of D. of C. "Now that the Negro is to be eliminated from the offices in the South it may be safely assumed that not in many years, if ever, will the Negro again occupy an important political office outside of Washington. And it is probable that even in Washington, offices will not be open to him very long. Taft's Policy Means Republican Party Admits it Made a Mistake in Giv L raise the money needed and wipe out the entire debt against the home within the next two years JACK JOHNSON THE CHAMPION PRIZE FIGHTER OF THE WORLD. Visited His Old Friend Frank H. Lewis, at the Railroad Inn, 51st st. and Armour avenue. Last Monday afternoon, Jack Johnson, the champion prize fighter of the world, paid a long social visit to his old friend Frank H. Lewis, the main squeeze of the Railroad Inn, 51st st. and Armour Ave. and Mr. Lewis and Mr. Johnson spent a pleasant time in talking over the many good stunts ing Negro the Ballot. "This policy which President Taft is inaugurating means more than a concession to the South in the matter of federal appointments. It is really an admission that after a trial of nearly half a century of Negro suffrage and Negro office holding, the Negroes as a race, have been found wanting, and that the party that gave them the ballot and offices has been convinced that it made a mistake when it did so. Whether that party or any other party will undertake to give the Negro the place he once had in politics, and restore to him the office holding privilege, is a question that IS SO FAR IN THE FUTURE that there is no good reason for discussing it now. If at any time he is placed on a footing with the white man politically it will be after he is much better prepared for that position than he is now. All of the other leading Southern newspapers, are tickled to death, over the new policy which President Taft, will persue in dealing with the Negro, in the south. As a sample of his new policy in that section of the country, Col. J. H. Deveaux, will be removed as collector of the Port at Savannah, Ga., and a white Democrat will be given the position. At Darien Ga., which is largely populated by Colored people, and they are also largely in the majority, in McIntosh County, in which Darien is located. and for many years, a Colored man, has represented that county in the legislature of Georgia. Nevertheless the Colored postmaster will be removed at Darien, and a White Democrat will take his place, and as further evidence that the office holding Negro, in the South, will not be in the running, President Taft, hereafter, will consult Senator Ben Tillman, and other eminent statesmen like him; (we don't think), before he makes any appointments of white men in the South. they had pulled off together in the sporting world in the past. The people residing in the neighborhood were just crazy to see Jack Johnson, so they rushed into the Railroad Inn, filling it to the brim, and the crowd of people kept on coming until they extended out into 51st st., blocking the street car traffic, and when Mr. Johnson bid his friend Lewis farewell and started for down town the people sent up a great shout for him. Mrs. B. H. Johnson, 4915 State Street, returned home Thursday morning, from Tumbasco, Ala., where she spent the past five weeks in visiting with her mother other relatives.

Entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug. 19, 1802 at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 8, 1879. HEALTH DEPARTMENT TALKS. At the coming April city election the citizens of Chicago will be given the opportunity to vote for a bond issue with which to build a new, complete, and well equipped hospital for the care and treatment of those having consumption. This is one of the most important questions that has come up for public consideration in many years. Let us tell you about it. Through the efforts of State Senator Edward J. Glackin, of Chicago, aided by good citizens in Chicago and elsewhere, a bill has been passed by the State Legislature authorizing the City of Chicago, and other cities in Illinois as well, to levy a tax of one-tenth of one cent on the dollar for the purpose of raising funds with which to build hospitals for the care of those having tuberculosis. As soon as the bill was passed, the required number of voters petitioned the City Council to place the proposition to raise this money on the ballots to be voted at the coming April election. Now here is an opportunity that will help very much in the fight that is being carried on here in Chicago to stamp out consumption. As you, no doubt, know, consumption in the early stages is easily cured. The purpose of this proposed hospital is to care for the curable cases. This means that those stricken with this disease need not linger and suffer for years and then finally die. They can be restored to health and return to their occupations. It also will mean, in time, a tremendous saving of money. Last year 3,345 persons died in Chicago of consumption. Professor Fisher, of Yale College, values the money loss or cost of each consumption death at $8,000. This estimate includes loss of wages, nursing, doctors' bills and funeral expenses. Taking Professor Fisher's estimate of the financial loss that is caused by consumption as correct, the 3,345 deaths from this disease in Chicago last year cost the city over $23,000,000. When the new tuberculosis hospital is built and running it will save many lives. And as each life is worth $8,000, on a money basis alone, to say nothing of other considerations, you can see that it is going to be a mighty valuable institution. It will be a place, too, where the poor wage earner can go and be treated, when it would be utterly impossible for him to go away from home for treatment. It means that, if only the case be taken in time, the wage-earner can be cured and return to the support of his family. So don't fail to go to the polls on election day, which is Tuesday, April 6th. And don't fall to vote for the tax levy of one-tenth of one cent on the dollar with which to raise the money to build the new, consumption hospital. It will be the wisest and best vote you ever cast—"P" The Real Estate Committee reports to President Moseley that a sufficient fund has now been secured for the purchase of a club house and the announcement will soon be made of a house warming by the Club at its new quarters.

JAMES K. VARDAMAN, THE MISSHAPEN EX-GOVENOR OF MISSISSIPPI INDORSES PRESIDENT TAFT'S DEMOCRATIC SECRETARY OF WAR, JACOB M. DICKINSON OF TENNESSEE. In a recent interview with Roswell Field of the Chicago Dally Examiner, President Taft's Secretary of War, Judge Jacob M. Dickinson of Tennessee, who for years has at times been a temporary resident of Chicago, spoke, in part, as follows: would have congratulated me would have been Vardaman. "Perhaps it is a little too early, he replied, with a smile, "to say exactly what I shall do or even exactly how I shall feel. But there is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Taft did not engage me for merely clerical work. A cabinet officer should be a man of initiative of energy, of willingness to relieve his chief of burdens that might become oppressive.

Wells, vice president of the Appomattox Club, and Mr. Adolp Harris, paid a visit to the Chateau last week. Both reported a very pleasant time. Come, April 1st to the Chateau and have lots of fun and meet you "I see," he broke in rather abruptly, "that I had to come to Chicago to have my Democracy questioned. There is at least one gentleman in this town-perhaps there are more—who thinks that Mr. Taft's Secretary of War is not true to the principles of his party. We might just as well take up this matter briefly. Here's a letter I received this morning. You will observe that it is from Isham Harrison Camp of Confederate Veterans of Columbus, Miss., a post of which I have the honor of being a member. "If you will read it you will observe that it is full of complimentary references to Mr. Taft for remembering the Democratic Party by honoring me, and that it especially congratulates me on my appointment. I may remark that there is not a single Republican in that camp. I was born in Columbus and this is my home camp." "You are a Confederate vetaran?" "Well, I was a mere boy during the civil war, but I did enlist in the Confederate service and I did earn my right to membership. Still it is only fair to admit to my beat belief no Northern families were plunged in mourning through my efforts. My record, if honorable, is not conspicuously gory." Then a little later: "I have received a congratulatory letter from ox. Gov. Vardaman as well, and I dare say his Democracy has never been disputed. I am of the impression that if I had been recreant to the party the very least man who ALDERMAN MICHAEL McINERNEY would have congratulated me would have been Vardaman. "Perhaps it is a little too early," he replied, with a smile, "to say exactly what I shall do or even exactly how I shall feel. But there is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Taft did not engage me for merely clerical work. A cabinet officer should be a man of initiative of energy, of willingness to relieve his chief of burden that might become oppressive. I am certainly not going down to Washington with the idea that I am either a clerk or a figurehead, and I expect to have duties enough to keep me busy for the time I am there." President Hayes, many years ago, picked a "rebel" for his cabinet, but President Taft has "gone him one better"-selected a "rebel" for his secretary of War, who in this day of intelligence and, progress, publicly acknowledges himself a follower of ex-Governor Vardaman of Mississippi a "man" who is classed only with such monstrosities as Tom Dixon and Ben Tillman, the worst villifiers in all the world of a defenseless and almost helpless class of American citizens, who, unlike any of the persons named, have ever been loyal to the flag and the country. Secretary Dickinson refuses to be known as other than a Democrat, indeed he seems to be as proud of his membership in that party as he appears to be ashamed of his connection with the Confederate or rather the rebel army in the war of the rebellion. The gentleman insists that he will be no more "figure-head" at Washington. And he has been indorsed in Vardaman! O. Lord, have mercy! The "Black Battallon's troubles apparently have not ended, by a good deal. President Taft certainly knew what he was doing when he selected "Jake" Dickinson for his Secretary of War. Republicans generally and old soldiers in particular who worked so hard to elect President Taft will hardly enthuse much, to say the least, over this appointment. —The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.

Davis, in his Atlanta Independent, makes a strong plea for the white folks around Charleston, S.C., an the Crum appointment. Yet he is disfranchised—not allowed to hold office nor to serve on jury in his home city.

Barefield, 6650 Wabash avenue, who resided in Chicago for many years, and had met with considerable success in the real estate business; passed away the latter part of last week. Funeral services were held over his remains Tuesday. Mr. Barefield, was always a good provider for his family, which consists of his wife and one son. Boston's English "If I were asked to name the city of these United States where the purest English is now spoken," said Otis Skinner, the actor, "I should unhesitatingly pronounce in favor of Boston. The clarity of speech there is not confined to people of wealth and culture, but extends to the working classes, the toilers and persons in all stations of life. I do not say that this excellence in articulation and this admirable pronunciation can be found all over New England. Corruption of speech begins not many miles from Boston, and the distressing nasal twang is difficult to escape. In Philadelphia a peculiar burr that is distinctly provincial prevails. From Pittsburg to other sections of the middle west this burr assumes more or less exasperating forms." Wanted Results. "You are always trying to throw cold water on my literary ambitions," growled the aspiring author. "You say it doesn't pay. Look at Charles Dickens, will you?

A certain small boy of six is rapidly assuming manly ways. Not long ago his "room" at school planned an entertainment. There were to be little songs and recitations and a mysterious grab bag. The small boy waxed eloquent concerning the coming glories of this show, and more especially the part he would take. On the morning of the entertainment his mother suggested that he should take his little sister, aged four, with him. He hung his head. "Don't you want to take her?" his mother asked. "No, I don't," he answered. "And why not?" The reply came quickly. "Cause there ain't none of th' other fellers has to bring their children!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. No Acid Needed.

Mann, the Canadian railroad builder, had a sensational career, beginning as an axman in the Canadian lumber woods. Early in life Mann visited Europe on a business mission and at a dinner one night became involved in a quarrel with a Russian nobleman. Next day he received a call from one of the nobleman's friends, bearing an invitation to a duel. "If he doesn't like what I said to him, let him come up and tell me so," said Mann. "He can come a-running, too, and carry any size gun he likes." The friend explained that would never do. Nothing but the regular thing on the field of honor would do. "Oh, all right!" said Mann. "I've been fighting duels all my life. But I'll have to insist on using my national weapon—a sixteen pound double blunt ax." The friend went away holding up his hands at the barbarian. That night the nobleman met Mann. He was about the size of a grasshopper. Mann is something over six feet high and four wide, with no fat. "I fight you, m'soo," said the nobleman, "with the weapon of any civilize nation, but I be hanged if I commit suicide." Close Quarters For Washington. At the time, now some years ago, when subscriptions were being solicited for the erection of a statue in New York city to President Washington a gentleman called to secure a contribution from an old resident who, although wealthy, was a little "near." On learning the object of the visit the rich man exclaimed: "Washington! Washington! Why, Washington does not need a statue I keep him enshrined in my heart!" In vain were the visitor's solicitations, and he was naturally indignant at the parsimony of the millionaire. "Well, Mr. R," he remarked quietly as he rose to leave, "all I can say is that if the Father of His Country is in the position in which you describe him he is in a tight place!" "Fifty miles an hour! Are you brave?" She (swallowing another plint of dust)—Ycs, dear; I'm full of grit.—Chicago News "It is amazing what perseverance will achieve," said an Englishman, "Even misdirected perseverance has achieved marvels. There is the case of Robson, the great Notts cricketer. Robson during his Australian tour was determined one sorching afternoon that his side shouldn't do the hard work of fielding. Well, when the Australian captain spun the coin Robson shouted, 'Woman!' Then, seeing that heads lay uppermost, instead of acknowledging defeat Robson said, with perseverance and nonchalance: "Well, we'll go in." "But—er—I thought," said the puzzled Australian—you see, I don't quite know the English meaning of "woman." "Then," said Robson gallantly, 'we'll toss again.' "The Australian made a second toss. Robson called heads, and tails came up. The ordinary man would at this point have surrendered in despair, but not so Robson. "Honors are now easy,' said he, with a pleasant smile. 'On with the rubber." "The Australian a third time slipped the coin, and, having at last called the toss correctly, the persevering Robson led in his side to the shady benches." PATRICK H.

Grest Wars From Trifles. Great wars. pregnant with bloodshed and al! the horrors accruing thereto, have very often been the outcome of trif_ing incidents which might, had they Deen ‘treated properly, have been smoothed over and the slaughter avert: ed. More often.was this the case in earlier times than ft is-now. Every one knows that William the Conqueror lost his life in France through his horse treading on a redhot cinder while he was superintending the burn- ing of Mantes, but few people know the fact which gave rise to the cam- paign that cost William his life. During the latter part of his reign ‘he became abnormally stout and con- ‘sequently the laughingstock of not only ‘bis subjects, but his neighbors ‘across the water. One day his con. temporary, Philip of France, compared him to 2 fillet of veal on casters and suggested that he should be exhibited ‘at a prize monarch show. This so en. raged William that he straightway made war upon his ridiculer, and the loss of thousands of lives was the re sult—London Tit-Bits, ' Gestures Part of Talk. There is a man who from a very early age has lived in countries where Spanish is the almost universal tongue. From force of this training he speaks Spanish perfectly. He has not the slightest trace of an English accent, ‘and persons who do not know that be is of American parentage are willing to believe he is a Spaniard, merely from-hearing him talk. He is so per- fectly bilingual that it shows even in his gestures. When talking with Eng: lish speaking persons he sits quietly and does his conversing with his mouth ‘alone. Only in case of making a point most emphatically does he use 2 ges- ture. But the moment be drops into Spanish his every word is accomps- nied by © movement of the hands ot arms. It is interesting to watch the change from the English to the Span ish side of him, because it comes so suddenly. He really can't speak Span- ish without gesturing.—New York Sun. Cinta Gedy thet A remarkable fact is that many slang words have a classical origin. For ‘example, the word “mill.” a vulgarism for a fight, is traceable to the Greek ‘word “hamilla.” which means a com- bat. “Uncle,” the affectionate term for a pawnbroker, is derived from the Latin “uncus,” 2 hook on which the article pledged was hung. ‘To go before “the beak” is a distinct reference to the old Roman custom of ‘adorning the platform from which jus- tice dispensed with the beaks of ships, which platform came to bevcalled the Tostrum, that being the Latin for s beak or prow. Cruel. _ The rich bachelor sighed and looked ‘at the beautiful girl fixedly. “Things are at sixes and sevens with me. I feel the great need of a woman in my home, one who could straighten out my tangled affairs arid make life worth living again.” Her glance spoke an fnterest which approximately expecta- tion. “Yes?” she queried softly.
