THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the South Carolina Anarchist Came Near Passing In His Checks at Washington, D. C., the Past Week. The Courts of His State Have Decided That He Is Not the Proper Person to Rear the Children of His Dissipated Son. James K. Vardaman, the Rabid and Frothing Backwoods Statesman of Mississippi. Defeated In His Contest for the United States Senatorship. Hon. Leroy Percy, the Successful Candidate, is Friendly to Afro-Americans. The past week, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the loud mouthed South Carolina, anarchist, came very near passing in his checks at Washington, D.C., it seems that some unseen power stretched forth its strong arm and struck him down just as he was ascending the steps of the capital, causing him for several days to lose the use of his tongue, and for a few days he lingered between life and death. In no part of the semi-civilized world has there appeared a greater enemy to progress and civilization than Benjamin R. Tillman, and his influence for evil has been most potent in every way, in fact for many years he has been the greatest menace to law and order and the established institutions of the American Republic. In a hold and brazen faced manner he has stood up in the United States Senate and gleefully related how he and his cracker jack followers in South Carolina and in the other Southern States, have in the past resorted to the "shot gun policy" in order to prevent the Negroes from voting, how they buried their heads in the sand and filled their bodies with lead, and murdered Colored men, women and children, not because they had committed any crime, but simply on account of the color of their skin and to display their so-called superiority over the Negro, which is nothing more than rank savagery in its most violent form. He has also exclaimed in the halls of congress and on the lecture platforms all over this country—"To Hell with the laws and the only way to handle a 'Nigger' is to keep him in front: of you with a gun, that mob and lynch law should be firmly established in all parts of this land, that that is the only law which the American people have left to resort to." The strangest thing in this world to us is, that every time that the South Carolina anarchist has belched forth anarchy, the shedding of innocent blood and bloody revolutions, in the American House of Lords, and on other occasions he has been heartily applauded by his hearers, which is conclusive proof that thousands of American citizens, including many of those high up in all the affairs of this nation are still "half devil and half savages and that so far they have not mastered the art of governing themselves. There is not another so-called civilized country in the world whose rulers would for one minute permit a character like Senator Tillman to stand up in their law making bodies and preach bloody anarchy like he does in the United States Senate, and if he attempted to do so, they would hang him up by the neck, for his treasurable utterances, for no greater enemy to society, law and order has ever appeared above the horizon than Senator Tillman. As further proof that this rank enemy of everything that is fair and just is made of common clay like the rest of us, the highest courts in the rotten rebel state which he poorly represents in the United States Senate, have recently declared that he is not the proper person to rear the children of his dissipated and no account son Ben Tillman Jr., and yet Old Ben who puts in a little of his puffing and blowing about honesty and the rest of it in advocating and upholding mob and lynch law and in cussing and damning the "Niggers" because many of them are getting ahead of him and his South Carolina tribe of clay eaters and anarchists, has his drunken son, working for the government at Washington, D. C. In this connection it is pleasing to note, that James K. Vardaman, the brailess freak and rabid and frothing back woods statesman of Mississippi, who like Ben Tillman, for money has worked his jaws over time in braying on the Negro question, has been defended in his contest for the United States Senatorship, and all honor to the members of the legislature of that state, for side tracking him, and dealing him a final knockout blow. The people of Mississippi, through their legislators have served notice to the world, that they want no more of Vardaman, and his most damnable doctrine and preachments to misrepresent them in the United States Senate. Hon. Lercy Percy, the successful candidate, represents, the best and the most progressive white element in his state. He has always been friendly to the Colored people, and it is safe to say, that he will not spend all of his time in harping in the CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 26, 1910. DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS. Founder of Provident Hospital, and one of the most eminent physicians and surgeons in the United States. In some sections of the north there is now on, a senseless agitation by Colored people in favor of separate schools for Colored children. In two sections at least, Springfield, Illinois, and Dayton, Ohio, the local Colored newspapers are supporting the movement, "The Forum" in the former city and "The Citizen" in the latter. It is quite evident that the Colored advocates of "separate schools" have failed to study the effect of such institutions south upon the welfare of the Colored student. For a long time there was an agitation south to limit the financial support of the Colored schools to the school taxes paid by Colored people. This idea was carried to such an extent that it has been discovered in many communities that the Negroes not only pay for the limited school service accorded their children by the white men who spend the school money but that the Negro taxpayers were actually contributing toward the education of the white children. The effect of this policy tends to give the Colored child the minimum amount of education while the white child receives the maximum amount. The Colored child's school year is three months, the white child's school year is nine months. The Colored teacher is employed three months in the year, at poor salary, and must hoe corn and pick cotton the balance of the year for support. while the white teachers are employed nine months a year get good salaries and spend their vacations at northern summer resorts. Even in Washington, D. C., where the school money is expended by a Republican congress, the members of which are largely from the north, there is gross discrimination against the Colored schools. One-third or thirty-three per cent of the school population of that city are Colored, yet an average of less than one-fifth or twenty per cent of the school money is expended on the Colored schools. This tends to crowd the Colored schools, overwork the Colored teachers, limit the number of both schools and teachers for Colored, while on the other hand over eighty per cent of the school money is expended on the white pupils which constitute only sixty-five per cent of the school population. We would very much like to see reports of Cincinnati, Indianapolis and St. Louis school boards and see if the same situations are not found in these cities. Far better will it be to agitate for the employment of your educated men or women in the regu- lar union schools as has successfully been done in Detroit. Here we have a half dozen educated Colored women employed in the public schools. Some of these have been employed for over 30 years. All of them teach white children and have made good. All of them get the same salary and are employed the same number of months as all other teachers. In at least two other cities in Michigan, Colored teachers are employed or have been employed in the public schools—Adrian and Bay City. This is the better course to pursue as it gives the child the equal opportunity to acquire the highest education that the municipality provides and what is still better the association of the children of both races in the school quickens and broadens the civilization of the resulting educated man or woman. The "Citizen" and "Forum" are damning their own children by the course they are pursuing. Stop it!—The Informer, Detroit, Mich., Feb. 19, 1910. WILLIAM ELLIS COMMERCE COUNSEL FOR THE CHICAGO MILWAUKEE AND ST. PAUL RAILROAD IS ONE OF OUR OLDEST NORTH DAKOTA FRIENDS. It was our pleasure the past week to enjoy a pleasant visit with Mr. William Ellis, Commerce Counsel for the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, whose offices are in the Railway Exchange Building. Many years ago, when Mr. Ellis began first the study of law, at Fargo, N. Dak., where the writer was engaged in business for ten years, he was one of our friends and patrons. Therefore it is needless to state, that we feel proud of him and the progress he has made, in forging himself to the front in the law to his present position with the Milwaukee road. It was also our pleasure to be presented to his estimable wife, Mrs. Ellis, who is highly cultured and well versed along intellectual and literary lines, and she very gracefully presides over their lovely and artistic home in Irving Park. John H. Montgomery, the popular druggist, 26th and State street, who has a strong following among the Colored people in the 2d Ward, will win out at the primaries March 2d, and it is predicted by his many friends and supporters, that he will put up an interesting fight against his opponent, Alderman Thomas J. Important and Vital United States Census Questions How the People of All Races and Nationalities Must Answer the Questions Propounded to Them by the Enumerators. "Census Day" is April 15, 1910. Washington, D. C., February 21, 1910.—The character of the questions concerning color or race, age at last birthday, conjugal condition, number of years of present marriage, the number of children born, and the number of children now living, to be asked by the enumerators in the Thirteenth United States Census, beginning April 15, next, is clearly explained in the printed instructions to the census-takers, which have been prepared by the United States Census Bureau. All the questions relate solely to conditions existing on the "Census Day," which is April 15. Answers relative to color or race are to be entered on the schedule as "W" for white; "B" for black; "Mu" for mulatto; "Ch" for Chinese; "Jp" for Jananese; and "In" for Indian. For census-purposes, the term "black" (B) include all Negroes of full blood, while "mulatto" (Mu) includes all Negroes not of full blood, but having any perceptible trace of Negro blood As to age at last birthday of the person enumerated, the enumerators are cautioned that this question calls only for the age in completed years at the last birthday. Therefore, a person whose exact age on April 15 is 17 years, 11 months, and 5 days should be returned simply as 17, because that is his age at his last birthday. In the case of children not two years old, the age should be given in completed months, expressed as twelfths of a year. Thus, the age of a child 3 months old should be entered as 3-12, a child 7 months old as 7-12, a child 15 months old as 1 3-12, etc. If a child is not yet a month old the enumerators are to enter the age as 0-12. A child who is just a A NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY ON APRIL 24TH. Churches Are Being Enlisted in Consumption Crusade. Announcement of a national tuberculosis Sunday to be held on April 24th in 215,000 churches of the United States was made today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Following campaigns against consumption that have been carried on in the churches of hundreds of cities, and sermons on tuberculosis that have been preached before thousands of congregations during the past year, a movement has been started to establish a permanent tuberculosis Sunday, on which it is hoped that every one of the 23,000,000 church-goers in the United States will hear the gospel of health. It is planned to enlist the active cooperation of anti-tuberculosis organi- No.21 United States Census Questions of All Races and Must Answer is Propounded to Enumerators. s April 15, 1910. year old on the 17th of April, 1910, should nevertheless be returned as 11-12, because that is its age in completed months on April 15. The enumerators are told to take particul pains to get the exact age of children. If the person was born outside the United States, the enumerator is to enter the country (not city or district) in which he was born. Instead of Great Britain, he is told to write Ireland, England, Scotland, or Wales. In the case of persons born in the double kingdom of Austria-Hungary the enumerator is cautioned to be sure to distinguish Austria from Hungary. In the case of those born in Austria proper, they are to distinguish also those born in Bohemia and those born in Austria Poland. They should write Finland and not Russia for a person born in Finland. The inquiry as to the number of children born applies to women who are now married, or who are widowed, or divorced. The answer should give the total number of children that each such woman has had during her lifetime. It should include, therefore, the children by any former marriage as well as by her present marriage. It should not include the children which her present husband may have had by a former wife, even though they are members of her family. Still born children are not to be included. The question concerning the number of children now living refers only to the children which the woman herself has had. The enumerator is required to include all of these children that are living, no matter whether they are living in his district or somewhere else. izations, labor unions, fraternal organizations, and other bodies together with the churches in the movement. The aid of leading churchmen in many of the principal denominations has already been offered. All of the large interdenominational bodies, such as the Youth Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, the King's Daughters and Sons, and the various young people's societies are also in sympathy with the anti-tuberculosis campaign. It is planned that on April 24th tuberculosis sermons shall be preached in all the churches of the country. Literature will be distributed to members of the congregations, and in every way an effort will be made to teach that tuberculosis is a dangerous disease and that it can be prevented and cured. Clergymen who desire to obtain additional information in regard to tuberculosis will be able to secure literature from state and local antituberculosis associations and boards of health, so well as from the National Association. --- Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholics, Protestants, Priests, Indians, Slaves, Tauroes, Republicans, or anyone else can have their way, or anyone else can have their way, or responsibility is fixed.

The undertaking business has always been enveloped in mystery, probably for the very good reason that no one has cared so tear away the veil that envelopes it. People should think of life, not death—of happiness not sorrow, but the employing of an undertaker will fall to the lot of all of us at some time or other. Knowledge of the condition surrounding this business is a duty and every one should have a definite thought regarding what he would do, stored away in his memory which can be summoned when occasion arises. The Chinese have a custom, morbid perhaps, but wise surely, of buying a casket and arranging all details of the death of their parents when they have reached a certain age. This may seem foolish to enlightened Americans, but one who has had experience in such matters can appreciate the hours of anguish saved by this forethought. Funeral expenses are too high for two reasons—one is that people have false pride and seem to think that only an expensive casket and big funeral proves to their neighbors that they have proper respect for the departed and second that the price of caskets is unreasonably high. Some undertakers are unscrupulous and take advantage of the purchaser's state of mind. Other undertakers are so seldom employed that they must charge a big profit on caskets, furnishings and services in order to make money. As a matter of fact the price is out of proportion to the ACTUAL FIRST cost. Undertakers should mark everything in plain FIGURES, have a set price for every SERVICE. We welcome the manufacturer who has the nerve to break away from musty, time-worn traditions, step out into the light and tell the people the truth regarding past conditions and show them the way to a sensible, economical and wise method of performing their final obligation.

Dr. Caston, President of the Missouri Baptist Convention, has urged all Missouri Baptists to observe the 4th Sunday, February 27th, as Bouey Memorial Day. * * * "Brother Jordan: Wife and I will give $100 on the passage money to bring home from Africa, Jno. D. and Edward H. Bouey, the younger sons of our departed missionary. We will collect the money for their education. W. R. Pettiford, Birmingham, Ala." Who will join the Dr. and his wife in this good act? It will take $270 for two tickets from Sierra Leone to New York. However we may have neglected Dr. Bouye while he lived, he is now where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more. If anything earthly could heighten his joy among the blood-washed throng, it would be to know that we paid the debts he left in Africa that might reflect upon his name as a missionary, and that we helped his boys. Who knows but what one or both of these boys may return to Africa to make glorious the work of their sainted father? John Dr. Pettiford and his wife in bringing them back home and in giving them a chance. --- The Foreign Mission exercises held by our schools from year to year, in many cases, is all the information young Baptists have on the great subject of world wide missions. The Student Volunteer Movement which reaches the white colleges of all denominations, the Laymen's Missionary Movement which has stirred all Christendom as nothing else attempted heretofore has ever done, do not reach our churches. Every Baptist pastor and leader who has any respect for his obligation as a Baptist, any love for Jesus his Saviour, who hopes to see God, his Father and Maker, and who has any respeet for the Word of God, cannot be careless about having some kind of exercise in his church that will heighten the interest of the Baptist Army, young and old, in giving the Gospel to benighted Africa.

Secret societies do more for the uplift of the Negro people in the south than any other one agency saving the church. Indeed, it may be argued that the secret and fraternal orders in the south go hand in hand with the church. In all of the ritualistic ceremonies a spirit of deep and religious plety is breathed, and no man is admitted who does not express a belief in the one Supreme Being. Whatever may be the name, whatever may be the method of conducting its business, they all tend to the same end—to create a brotherly spirit, to teach the value of pure and upright lives and to better the material condition of its members and those dependent upon them. Though considerably in advance of any other organization, the work of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows for the state of Mississippi is the most pronounced example of what secret orders can do in the upbuilding of the Negro race. The Odd Fellows Benefit association through its treasurer, Professor E. H. McKissack of Holly Springs, and under the direction of Dr. E. P. Jones, grand master of the state, paid out during the past year alone more than $250,000 to Odd Fellow beneficiaries. A quarter of a million dollars paid out to the widows and orphans of the state will go a long way toward redeeming mortgages, relieving want and misery and educating children. This, added to the fact that during the past ten years this organization has paid out over a million dollars through this channel and conducted its mammoth business, shows the efficacy of organized effort among colored people of the south. It is the most concrete example yet placed on record of the ability of the Negro to help himself. The Odd Fellows in Mississippi show great wisdom in keeping these two able men at the head of their affairs. Continued confidence in Dr. Jones' ability and sterling worth was manifested by the grand lodge in its recent session in not only re-electing him to the fifth term as grand master of the state, but indorsing him for grand master of the United States. The delegates will push his candidacy at the forthcoming session of the biennial movable committee at Baltimore this year. Further appreciation of Dr. Jones' service to the order was manifested by the presentation to him of a beautiful silver service. He Buries Cheaper Than The Trust [Name] GEORGE O.

Impossible to Understand. "James Henry," says the wife sternly, "I cannot understand why you have stayed out so late tonight."

He got a verbal strangle hold; "Twas quite beyond endurance, But ere he left the agent sold The barber some insurance. —Cleveland Leader. --- THEY TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD Whites of South Grasped Meaning of President's Policy Quickly. Jack Thorne, the well known writer and story teller, has the following to say about the two great political parties in national and municipal politics: The actions of the Theodore Roosevelt in the Brownsville affair made many a hitherto stance supporter of the Republican party in Kentucky. He was Democratic ranks. But nothing has caused more desertions than has Mr. Taft's possum feasts in the south and his possum-like concessions. More Negroes voted for Democracy last fall than ever before. Mr. Taft's advice to the southern Negro has been: "Agree with your adversary. Make friends with your neighbors, those of the white race with whom you are in daily contact, who are in sympathy with you and who give you employment." To the southern whites he said, "I will appoint no Negro to office in any community unless appointment is approved by the white people." How largely the southern Negroes have heeded the president's advice we are unable to say, but this we do know—that the whites took bribes and in some southern states the lily Whites were obligated to Negro officeholder. He who runs may read and know that we have in the Republican party no longer men of the Lincoln, Garrison, Phillips, Brown, Beecher type. The principles they championed are we fear, forever dead. In place of the sympathetic, brave carpetbag Yankee who in the south during the reconstruction period laid down his sword and with the elementary spelling book and the Bible waged war with ignorance and undertook to teach the Negro the value and meaning of true citizenship. The Negro has the lean capable of more hostility and meanness toward the Negro than the Democrat could conceive. These are the people who are clamoring loudest and boldest for the elimination of the black man. No man of the Negro race north or south has shown himself to be more wise awake to the situation than Summer H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye. Bravin Lark, author of *The Brooklyn Eye*, and Lark in wise and logical editorials retreated Mr. Taft's advice and undertook to convince his people that it is time to divide their vote. During the recent municipal election Mr. Lark took the same firm stance and supported Judge Gaynor Lark, a former member of the creative club in Brooklyn Mr. Lark has endeavored to eschew the army of "a few dollars and a drink" floaters who have made the Negro voter offensive to both parties here in the north and has endeavored to rally to his standard face of the Negro vote. In other things that will bring about that recognition the Negro demands. Whether Mr. Lark is vindicated, whether his services to the party in this municipal election are recognised or no, whatever sore heads or factorsists may do to the efforts to make the Negro a factor in the organization by those desiring his support, Summer H. Lark will remain the same unswerving champion of his race. HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS. WHERE EVERY PATRON Saves ON EVERY PURCHASE Telephone Yards 693 JOHN J.
