The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY In Numerous Instances in The Past The Negro Here in Chicago Has Permitted Himself To be Used as a Cat's Paw to Pull the Chestnuts Out of the Fire for the White and Colored Real Estate Sharks. Revs. Archibald J. Cary and John F. Thomas, under the Leadership of Col. Pony Moore, the Ex-Lord Mayor of the Red Light District. Iavaded Wheaton, Ill., Last Winter in Order to Frighten Some of Its Wealthy Inhabitants Into Buying Real Estate, Thereby Enriching the Pockets of Some White Real Estate Schemers. On numerous occasions in the past, the Negro here in this city has permitted himself to be used as a "Cat's Paw," to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the white and Colored real estate agents. Many times in the past, when the white real estate agent would fall down in a deal in real estate he had on between two of his white friends, he would force them up to the trough by declaring that "if they did not buy or sell as the case might be he would sell or rent the house or the property in question to a very dark Negro, his large family and the white real estate agent in order to convince his white friends that he meant business, he would hunt up some Negro, give him and his family from ten to fifty dollars and have them to hang around the house or property he was endeavoring to sell and by that means he frightened his white friends to pay him every dollar he asked for the house or property; many white real estate agents have resorted to this old trick of dragging the Negro in and using him as a scare crow to close real estate deals for them hundreds of times in the past and there are always some worthless and thoughtless Negro who is willing to be used in this respect regardless of the bad and bitter consequences which flow from his thankless acts. Last spring an elegant and refined white lady leased a fine flat in one of the most fashionable flat building on the South side, and after she had got settled down in it, one or two of her best gentlemen friends who delighted to heave their shoes under her bed, failed to come up with their share of the rent promptly, and as she could not pay her rent with kisses, love and fair promises, she finally decided to give up her flat, but her landlord refused to release her from the lease, then she happened to think about the Negro, and in order to trick terror into the heart of her landlord she informed him to the effect that unless "he released her from the lease, she would rent the flat to a 'Nigger, and his big family" it is almost useless to state that her elegant flat at once, as he did not want any of "her 'Nigger' friends to reside in it." It will be recalled that late in the fall of 1908, several scheming white real estate agents, had a real estate deal on at Wheaton, Ill, which had been hanging fire for a long time and for the express purpose of closing it, they induced Revs. Archibald J. Carey, John P. Thomas, and five or six other big Negroes, under the leadership of Col. Foy Moore, the ex-Lord Mayor and the former Gambling boss of the "Red Light district" to invade that more than aristocratic suburb and Col. Moore and his crowd of big Negroes, walked around in front of the home of Mrs. Jarvis Hunt and in front of the homes of the other weatly white residing near her, they talked loud and let it be known that they intended to buy the 20 acres of vacant land right in front of their beautiful homes and the golf club, divide it off into lots, build small houses and a church on them for Negroes, hold camp-meetings every day in the week and that there would be singing and shouting every day and late at night throughout the entire year; that the two leading streets or avenues would be named the "Palace Hotel de Moore and Carey avenue" in honor of Col. Pony Moore and Rev. Archibald J. Carey and so on; that Col. Moore and Rev. Carey would occupy the finest houses of the whole bunch of big Negroes and that they would live like kings and Lord it over the ratty and common Negroes who would flock to Wheaton like flies around the bung hole of a sweet molasses barrel. The wealthy [white inhabitants of Wheaton became greatly frightened at the sight of so many big Negroes and with the further prospect of having several thousand more dropping down among them at one time, with Col. Pony Moore in charge of all the gambling among them, that they the whites bought up the land in order as they thought, to prevent it from falling into the hands of Negroes, thereby enriching the pockets of the white real estate schemers who made many thousand dollars out of the deal. It is said that Col. Pony Moore, received two hundred dollars for the part he played in the dirty work and that the other big Negroes—his dupes received cold turkey and cold soup for the part they played in the game. This same raw method has been worked in this city to perfection within the past years, many whites will fall out with their next door neighbor and in order to spite them and to get even with them they will advertise in the daily papers that they will "sell or rent their house or property to no one else but to Negroes and there is always some fool Negro who is willing to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for this class of whites who hate the Negro and have no use for him except to use him as a tool for their own personal benefit. There are also, quite a few white real estate agents, and one or two Colored agents, who are thoroughly familiar with the weaknesses of the Negro, and his great desire to live among the whites; and they fleece him in real estate deals when they tout him up to invest in property. They caution him to keep his mouth shut, and to let no one know, the amount he expects to pay for property; for if he does the whites in the neighborhood where the property is located, will force him to pay, $2,000 or $3,000 more for it. But as a matter of fact, the average Negro not knowing anything about the value of ground per front foot; bargains to pay the full market price, and in many cases more than the market price for what he has been led to believe, were real easy snaps in real estate.^ As stated before, this class of real BERT A. WILLIAMS "The Big Fellow" "The Funny One" of Williams and Walker, in "Mr. Lode of Koal," now playing to crowded houses at the Great Northern. BERT WILLIAMS MAKES GOOD AT THE GREAT NORTHERN THEATER. Any number of musical comedies might with advantage emulate the offering which is being presented at the Great Northern Theatre by that most unique and drollest of Negro fun makers, Bert Williams, in "Mr. Lode of Koal." It is a carnival of clean, hearty, romping mirth. In the whole performance there is not an off color joke or suggestion of smut. The production goes with a dash and exhuberance of gaiety. The humor is of the rampant, irresponsible sort, as though everybody, upon the stage, chorus and all, were thoroughly enjoying the fun. But, no, that statement cannot be allowed to stand unqualified, for it is part of the comicality of Mr. Williams to appear sorrowfully sedate. Drearily sober in his method of producing gales of laughter, he seems never to have learned how to smile or enjoy himself. Perhaps it is this assumed lack of a sense of humor which makes him so uproariously funny. As Mr. Lode he is seen to better advantage than in any of his previous offerings. His eccentric singing, his loose-jointed eccentric dancing, his slow, ambling droolery and in fact, his whole range of fun-making talents are much funnier this time than they ever were before. Of course, he is not the whole show. He is surrounded with an organization of spirited singers and dancers who make the three acts of the musical comedy welcomely alive to the very end of the performance. As for the piece itself, it is precisely the vehicle it should be to deliver such car loads of laughable whimsies. The music itself is a sort of ragtime jubilee which goes with a bewildering abandon, giving an effect of almost primitive wildness. So enthusiastic are the audiences at the Great Northern theater that the outlook should be very favorable for excellent patronage during the balance of Mr. Williams' engagement. estate schemers, thrive upon the ignorance of the unsuspecting Negro, who needs to be taught, to refrain from permitting himself to be used as a cat's paw, to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for any class of real estate sharks or schemers. LEOPOLD GRANDE The Effloquent Superintendent of the 30th Ward, Continues to Make an Extraordinary Effort to Keep all its Streets and Alleys Clean, and in a Sanitary Condition. He Calls on all Good Citizens to Aid Him in This Movement. Recently, Leopold Grande, the efficient superintendent of the 60th ward, who is an ex-newspaper man; removed his office from 49th and Union avenue, to Shields avenue and 46th Place, Phone yards 5 and the office is now more in the center of the ward. Mr. Grande, and his able assistants, are continuing to make extraordinary efforts, to keep the streets and alleys throughout the ward, clean and in a sanitary condition, and he calls on all good citizens to aid him in this movement. He urges all who have not already done so to install, the new and improved ash and garbage cans, and to refrain from throwing their refuse of all kinds, into the streets and alleys. That without the aid and co-operation of the citizens themselves; permanent results, cannot follow, in the way of so uproariously funny. As Mr. Lode he is seen to better advantage than in any of his previous offerings. His eccentric singing, his loose-jointed eccentric dancing, his slow, ambling drolery and in fact, his whole range of fun-making talents are much funnier this time than they ever were before. Of course, he is not the whole show. He is surrounded with an organization of spirited singers and dancers who make the three acts of the musical comedy welcomely alive to the very end of the performance. As for the piece itself, it is precisely the vehicle it should be to deliver such car loads of laughable whimsies. The music itself is a sort of ragtime jubilee which goes with a bewildering abandon, giving an effect of almost primitive wildness. So enthusiastic are the audiences at the Great Northern theater that the outlook should be very favorable for excellent patronage during the balance of Mr. Williams' engagement keeping the streets, and alleys free from dirt and refuse. Superintendent Grande, is the right man in the right place. He has the backing of Alderman John Burns, and Alderman Michael McInerney, and the writer is with him in this respect, and the 30th ward, has never had a superintendent like unto him. WANTS HIM TO BRING SUIT. Dr. Booker T. Washington's "Chickens." Last Saturday Dr. Booker T. Washington was refused accommodation in the leading hotel of Akron, the "Butchell," and one of his Ohio "chickens came home to roost." For years the well known apostle of industrial education has been coming to this state and in his lectures and speeches, telling derisive and very harmful "Nigger" stories (in the face of our repeated protests and advising both our people and all others that "Negroes" should not "go into public places where they are not wanted," until now many whites have accepted his advice and are acting on it with the result that not only has the Y. M. C. A. of this city closed its door to Afro-Americans ("on Booker T. Washington's advice, as a leading truntee of the association told the Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy and the editor of The Gazette several years ago), but also hundreds of Ohio hotels, dining- "Familiarity Breeds Contempt" This Old Adage can Aptly be Applied to the Negro. For in None of the Walks of Life Does He Attempt to Get away From That Old Idea. Namely, That "All Negroes Are Equal and Are on the Same Level or Plane. This old adage has been rolling down the centuries for ages, but its truth has never been exploited. It has still more application to-day than it had when first uttered. "Familiarity breeds contempt." This article is addressed directly to our people, and several similar incidents will be cited to show the application of this adage. Probably there is nothing as damaging to the Negro's success in business as familiarity with their customers. There is no line of demarkation among our race. There is no discrimination among them. All are on the same level from their point of view. Hence they recognize no preference nor superiority among each other—not even the distinction of master and servant. The Negro servant as a general rule at once places herself or himself on an equal plane with the master or mistress. The Colored employer has to be more careful and considerate of his Colored servant than he is of himself. of vulgar pictures and conversation. The modern Negro barroom and barber shop are examples of this kind. There may be some indulgence for the barroom, but absolutely none for the barber shop. In many of our Colored hostelries is unsafe for a Colored woman traveling alone to engage rooms in them—not so much because of having he goods despoiled as to having her good name ruined. It is extremely difficult for a Colored woman to enter man of our Colored hotels, but what desirable acquaintances are force upon her and bold advances made upon her time and confidence. The write observed this to his great chagrin and the discomfiture of the young woman last week in one of our Colored hotels. As soon as the young woman in question entered the dining-room of the hotel, and because she chanced to sea herself at the same table at which the masher was sitting he at once enraged The writer went into a Colored boot-black's parlor the other day to get a shine. A youngster was in the shop. He began to polish my shoes and at the same time to engage me in conversation—going to the extent of personal interrogation. The writer als casion to be out of town several weeks ago, and stopped at a certain Colored hotel in the city wherein he was for a nights lodging. The proprietor at once became so familiar with me as to enter into personal interrogatives—not mentioning the many interrogatives about my private business. The traveling man or woman does not care to disclose either his or her private business, and this should not be exacted of them as a pre-requisite to patronizing Colored business places. They are not satisfied to do business, but they are also desirous of being busy bodies in other men's affairs. People don't desire to be unnecessarily forced into social equality with every one with whom they deal; and it would be a good lesson for our business men and women to bear this in mind when engaging in business. The white man has long ago outgrown this short-sightedness. He has only one object in view when engaging in business and that is to do business and make a success out of it. He is not desirous of knowing your personal and private affairs whenever you deal with him. Many times our business places are shunned, because of our familiarity with our customers. Young women of the right kind are too often afraid to enter Colored bootblack parlors to have their shoes polished because of the unseemly remarks and conversation on the part of the bootlacks themselves. There is a certain class of women who visit these places that does not care what kind of conversation is conducted. Familiarity with this class seems to convey the idea that all classes of women are alike, and therefore there is an effort on the part of the bootblack to find this out as soon as a lady enters his shop. The effects of this are bad both for his business and the entire business of this description conducted by our people. There are certain Negro businesses that have become notorious for obscene displays of vulgar pictures and conversation. The modern Negro barroom and barber shop are examples of this kind. There may be some indulgence for the barroom, but absolutely none for the barber shop. In many of our Colored hostelries it is unsafe for a Colored woman traveling alone to engage rooms in them—not so much because of having her goods despoiled as to having her good name ruined. It is extremely difficult for a Colored woman to enter many of our Colored hotels, but what undesirable acquaintances are forced upon her and bold advances made upon her time and confidence. The writer observed this to his great chagrin and the discomfiture of the young woman last week in one of our Colored hotels. As soon as the young woman in question entered the dining-room of the hotel, and because she chanced to seat herself at the same table at which the masher was sitting he at once engaged the young woman in a too forced, friendly conversation without formal introduction or any apology for want of the same. This kind of intolerable familiarity makes many Negro enterprises not only a failure, but a nuisance in the community. In order to be at least civil the young woman in question answered the man who sought every opportunity to be "fresh" with her until forbearance ceased to be a virtue. And then she simply ignored him altogether. Too often when the fault is not with the patrons it is with the proprietor or help. Ofttimes the waiters engage you in conversation; and if they are waitresses, too often the men patrons take up their time for their work in conversation or "making dates." The appearance in both cases is the same. The cause of all this is in the fact that all Negroes think they are equal. To prove this, if a white customer enters his business place he at once assumes a circumspected attitude and serves him to his best advantage, but if one of his own race comes in he is not particular about the service. It is a common thing for Colored restaurant keepers to serve uncovered; and not infrequently the cooks and other kitchen help pass to and fro through the main dining-room. "We all are equal" is the slogan.—From the Metropolitan News, New York City, N. Y., Oct. 2, 1909. This familiarity on the part of the Negro is true to the dot, and one simple illustration is ample to more than prove it. One evening several month ago, while sitting in a place of amusement on the south side, one of the cheap half men servants around the place, began whistling real loud and snapping his fingers at a elegantly dressed and stunning looking lady and finally it dawned upon her mind, that the Colored servant man wanted her, but to our great surprise the lady failed to remind him that "she had a handle to her name that she did not thank anyone to snap their fingers and whistle at her in such a loud manner. But without uttering one word of protest she got up from her chair and followed him out of the room, thereby proving that she did not feel that she was one bit better than the common Colored man servant—Editor.

TUBERCULOSIS NOTES. The Fight Against Consumption. All Over the World. In Germany there are 99 public sanatoria for adult consumptives with 10,539 beds, besides 36 private sanatoria with 2,175 beds. In 18 sanatoria for children with tuberculosis there are 837 beds, a total of less than 13,000 beds. In the United States there are over 300 sanatoria with over 15,000 beds, showing that this country is in the lead in the Anti-Tuberculosis war. France has only 12 sanatoria for adult consumptives, with a total capacity of 148 beds. All of these institutions are private except the sanatorium at Agincourt. The United States government operates three tuberculosis sanatoriums, one for soldiers and officers of the regular army at Fort Bayard, N. M.; one for seamen in the merchant marine, and others employed in coast service of the government, not in the navy, located at Fort Stanton, N. M.; and one for officers and enlisted men in the navy at Las Animas, Col. The first hospital is conducted by the department of War; the second by the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and the latter by the Navy Department. On the basis of 159,000 deaths yearly from tuberculosis, in the United States the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis computes that there are 684,934 persons constantly sick with this disease. Allowing only $500 as the average earnings of the workingman who dies, the annual loss to the country from the ranks of labor alone, is over $114,000-000 each year. Prof. Karl Pearson's theory that the first-born children of a marriage are more likely to fall victims to consumption than the latter-born offspring has been freshly tested by Prof. Van der Velden of Frankofrft, from material furnished by Prof. Rittell of Karlsruhe, who shows from an investigation of 2,500 families that in normal families the fourth, fifth and sixth children are more liable to die of tuberculosis, than are the first, second or third. That poverty is a friend to consumption is demonstrated by some recent German statistics, which show that of 10,000 well-to-do persons, 40 annually die of consumption; of the same number only moderately well-to-do, 66; of the same number really poor, 77; and of paupers, 97. According to John Burns the famous English labor leader, 90 per cent of the consumptives in London receive charitable relief in their homes. According to United States Consular reports, the tuberculosis death rate is twice is large in Syria and Turkey as it is in the United States. There is only one special hospital for this disease in the entire Ottoman Empire. National Anti-Tuberculosis Associations have recently been formed in Russia and Greece. Similar organizations are now in existence in the United States, England, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy and France. Dr. Bertillon, the eminent French vital statistician, has shown that tuberculosis is twice as prevalent among the retail liquor dealers of France as among other shopkeepers. He attributes it to the fact that the alcohol which they handle and use all day long weakens their bodies and thus renders them more susceptible to the disease germ. Statistics published by the Imperial Gazette show that in recent years there has been a steady decrease in the number of deaths in Germany from tuberculosis, and especially from tuberculosis of the lungs. In Urban centers the death rate per 100,000 fell from 226.6 in 1903 to 192.15 in 1908. Letters and mail-bags are frequent carriers of tuberculosis. According to testimony recently given before the Postal Commissioner of the British Empire, during the last 20 years, 80 per cent. of the deaths among letter sorters had been due to consumption, contracted by the men after they had entered the service. For 1,000 active troops in the armies of the great world powers, the following figures show the percentage of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis: United States, 4.72; Great Britain and colonies, 2.4; France, 5.3; Germany, 1.5; Austria, 10; and Russia, 27. The percentage in the general population is much larger Improper brething is a frequent cause of consumption. A large majority of people are too lazy or too ignorant to breathe deep and hence the lungs are developed only to part of their capacity and thus afford fertile field for the growth of the tuberculosis germ. The death rate from tuberculosis among the Chinese residents of the United States is 658.5, and among the Japanese 239 per 100,000 living, while among the white population of the country the rate is 173. According to tests made recently on 728 children from the tenement house section of New York City, 28 per cent. showed signs of tuberculosis either of the joints, glands or lungs. In the prisons of Bengal, India, tuberculosis kills about two prisoners in every one hundred. Consumption is a common disease among plants and flowers, being most frequent in house plants. Tuberculosis among the insane is very prevalent. The lowest estimates show that 5 per cent. of all the inmates of hospitals for the insane in the United States have tuberculosis, while in some cases the rate is over 20 per cent. THE NEW YORK AGE OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. And now it comes out that the New York Age is practically owned and controlled by Booker Washington, and that leading journal of the race is no longer the independent bulwark of the millions of Afro-Americans, but is the official organ and mouthpiece of the great educator. To a certain extent this is detrimental to the race as a whole. First, because the conditions in the North differing so radically from the conditions in the South, can be best reached and touched by a man who not only understands those conditions, but whose knowledge of journalism makes him a champion of the whole people, and even if the present editors (and we believe them to be capable men) are of that class, they are hampered in what they print by reason of the fact that their sworn allegiance to the "Boss" prevents them form printing what might be, not only their candid opinion, but the opinion of that community. And then, too, it would be better for the leading journal to be independent, for those both for and against a certain issue have a middle ground, or what might be termed a neutral spot where they both can obtain a fair hearing and it cannot be denied that the New York Age, more than any other race journal, molded public opinion, that is considering the race as the public for lo these many years. Modern mental development has done away with the belief that "the King can do no wrong" and as great as is our race's foremost man, he is not infallible, and with an independent paper to recognize the standard, to unreservedly voice the sentiments of all the people a greater good would be accomplished and a stronger unionism be brought about. If it be true that the Age is no longer an independent paper, then it is true that the first paper of the race's journals will no longer raise its voice in righteous protest against any wrongs heaped upon us, and until another T. Thomas F. comes along or another paper reaches the heights to which the Age had gained, Afro-Americans are without a national press champion.—The Advocate, Portland, Oregon. To these sentiments we say amen!— Editor. SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR. The Norfolk, Conn. musical festival is to be graced by the presence of the Anglo-African composer, Samuel Coleridge Taylor, who will conduct his "Hiwatha." It is somewhat curious that this creator should be, among the millions of his race, almost the sole representative of the higher aspects of musical composition. Coleridge Taylor is indubitably a composer of remarkable gifts and skill, but his appearance in this country several seasons ago passed almost unheeded, and such complimentary festivities as were associated with his presence in America were for the most part arranged and participated in by those of his own race. It may be said, too, that Mr. Taylor missed his opportunities. The appearance of such a man among his wont people, a man so richly gifted, famous in every country in which genus counts for much and the accidents of birth for every little, should have brought about the genesis of an Afro-American school. Or if it could not have done this the influence of Mr. Taylor, his example, his exhortations should have brought home to the people of his color the conviction that there is something finer in art than the crude songs about "Ma-Babby" or the imbecility of rage.

Performances in his honor were given at the Pekin Theatre in Chicago, in which were head some excerpts from his own works, and much that was fatuous vulgarity. This did not move the composer of "Hiawatha" to objurgation. He listened and was polite. And this was a pity, for it may be declared that among the people of color there are gifts that, when organized and matured, should ultimately reflect great honor upon the race.Felix Borowski, in the Chicago Record-Herald, of recent date.

Others give credit to Wallingford, who lived so late as the beginning of the fourteenth century. But the most perfect water clocks were, long before the latter period, furnished with wheels, so that the only improvement was the substitution of a solid body to act as a moving weight instead of water. It is not to be wondered at that the application of a weight to clocks as a moving power should attract so little attention, as water and sand were undoubtedly thought more convenient by contemporary writers. The oldest complete clock moved by weights is probably that sent by the sultan of Turkey to Frederick II. in 1232. In the thirteenth century many of the church steeplees in Italy were furnished with clocks moved by weights, which struck the hours. Hele of Nuremberg is supposed to have constructed the first watch in 1500, and to him must also be given the credit of the spring clocks. The fusee was probably invented in England about the end of the sixteenth century. But it was not until the middle of the seventeenth century that the pendulum was first applied to clocks by Huyghens. Bear Hunting In Brittany. Boar hunting in Brittany is full of exciting incidents, and the boars seldom die unavenged, for, though they are beset by mounted hunters and peasantry on foot armed with guns, the lifeblood of many a hound is drawn before the savage old tusker yields up his life. His dangerous powers of offense cease only with his last gasp. Though the grip of the bulldog, the yelping of the hounds, the din of horns and the cries of the beaters may force him from his lair to seek refuge in flight, that withdrawal may be set down rather to prudence and disgust than to any fear. When at last he is brought to bay, with his back against a rock or a tree trunk, he is ready to defy a host. Met in a narrow alley of the forest, neither man nor horse can withstand the avalanche of his onset. Not infrequently the hunter who loves his hounds will feel but little triumph even in the death of many boars if, having begun the season with a large pack, he ends it with a miserable remnant, having left all his best and bravest dogs on the field of battle.

There is a growing spirit of independence among the younger element of Negroes, which is a hopeful sign of the future for the Negro politically. The tendency of our fathers to pose as martyrs to the cause of the G. O. P. while white demagogues in that party had working agreements with their political opponents which enabled them to sway votes for certain offices, using the Negro as a pawn in their desperate game, will not be so pronounced in the future state and national campaigns. The young Negro is going "to play ball" when the political season opens again, and he will certainly make some political leaders sit up and take notice. Negroes are slow but apt scholars. ```markdown ``` PATRICK H. O'DDONNELL WILLIAM DILLON CLARENCE A. TOOLEN Tel.

In the Revue d'Hygiene Dr. Malegon, who lived for many years in China, gives some curious details of the food of the Chinese. This is what he says of the sons of heaven and the way they eat eggs: "The Chinese are great eaters of eggs, which they take hard boiled. One finds them in all the roadside places for refreshment. The Celestials have an expression, 'Eggs of a hundred years.' The eggs are not always a century in age, but one is able to get them of many years' standing. The Celestials have a preference for the egg of the duck or goose. They are placed with aromatic herbs in staked lime for a period, the minimum time of treatment being five or six weeks. Under the influence of time the yoke liquefies and takes a dark green color. The white coagulates and becomes green. The product of the eggs, which has a strong odor, from which a stranger betakes himself quickly, the Chinese eat as howl "foovurve, and it is said to have the taste of lobster."
