BOTH THE WETS AND THE DRYS, SEE VICTORY FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE SIDES IN THE HEAVY REGISTRATION. Hot times are ahead for the politicians in the second ward, and some of the small fry political hangers on are riding to their political grave. Edward C. Wentworth, is the lastest Richmond to enter the field, making four leading candidates namely, Wilson Shufelt, regular Republican candidate. John H. Montgomery, Democratic candidate. Edward H. Wright, independent Republican by (pet.) Edward C. Wentworth, independent Republican, in addition to these four leading candidates, there are several other live wire propositions on the Aldermanic end of it in that ward and viewing the battle or contest from a far off. At this time it looks as though the fight will simmer down between Wilson Shufelt and John H. Montgomery, for both of these contestants, have strong organizations behind them which counts for a great deal, while the others have not, and naturally this places them far in advance of their rivals.

For many of the best ladies of both races in Chicago Mrs. Hattie Arrant, 249 E. 31st street, Phone Douglas 3478, the up-to-date and fashionable Milliner, came into this world at Independence, Kan., and received here education in the public schools of that thriving little city, and for sometime thereafter, she became a school teacher and was very proficient as such. In time Mrs. Arrant became a resident of Kansas City, Mo., and for several years she was connected with The American Citizen, the newspaper, owned and controlled by the late C. H. J. Taylor, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, under the administration of President Grover Cleveland. As a representative of The American Citizen, Mrs. Arrant traveled all through Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and other sections of the southwest, and she became a bright business woman and made quite a success in her newspaper work.

Shortly after doing so, she started in to learn the milliners trade, and after five years of much hard work, she has mastered her trade to perfection, and as a first class milliner she cannot be surpassed. She possesses most excellent state, and she always thoroughly studies the face of her customer, and can tell just what kind and style of hat will suit each and every one. She has the honor, of making hats for many of the best ladies of both races in this city, and whenever death visits the home of her customers, either white or Colored, she arranges the mourning veils and other draperies gratuitously. Mrs. Arrant has some of the loveliest hats made up for Easter, that can be found in this city, which she is prepared to sell at reasonable prices for first class and artistic millinery. L.

In each and in every ward it is the solemn duty of the people residing in them to vote for the candidate who in their judgement will make them the very best alderman regardless of his politics. Both the "Wets and the Drys" see victory for their respective sides in the heavy registration on last Tuesday. After carefully viewing the situation up both sides and down the middle it seems to us that in the end the "Wets" will win in the contest in this city, that the best way to control the liquor traffic is to enforce the laws right to the letter in reference to closing the saloons on time each night, and on other occasion, when their owners are ordered to close and lock up the doors good and tight, and to stamp out all low dives wherein liquor is sold. To play no favorites in this respect. In our humble opinion this would be the best and the most practical way to handle and regulate the liquor traffic in Chicago. The Law Suit Started By Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz-Knighten. AGAINST BISHOP H. B. PARKS HAS BEEN SETTLED OUT OF COURT. AND THE CASE DISMISSED MUCH TO THE REGRET OF THE HIGH SOCIETY FOLKS WHO WERE MAKING GREAT PREPARATIONS TO FEAST UPON IT. MANY AFRO-AMERICANS WASTE TOO MUCH OF THEIR TIME IN GOSSIPING ABOUT THINGS. AND EVIL REPORTS THAT ARE OF NO VALUE TO THEM. The first of last week, Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz-Knighten, 2719 State street, instituted legal proceedings in the municipal courts against Bishop H. B. Parks, 3312 Calumet avenue, and the other members of his household, for indulging in too much uncomplimentary conversation, in reference to the medical attainments of Dr. Schultz, and for medical services, rendered to either, Miss Ruth or Miss Nioma Parks, while either was in great distress not so long ago. The papers in the case were served on the good Bishop, by a bailiff of the municipal court, and they caused his hair on all parts of his head to stand on end, and the first of this week the case was settled out of court; Bishop Parks paying over a fair sum of money to the Attorneys of Dr. Schultz, to settle in full all claims which she had against him and his daughters, and the case has been dismissed, and there will be no sensational developments or explosion concerning it, in the courts, for the high society folks to feast upon. In this connection it can be truthfully stated namely, that far too many Colored people spend too much of their time in circulating evil or black reports about each other, if some one of note dies either man or woman, they take great pleasure in swapping the lies around that "Mrs. so and so, gave her husband some white powders, in order to get rid of him and that they caused him to froth at the mouth and pass on out of this world so that his wife could run with or marry another man without let or hinderence,e" they also take much delight in stat BISHOP NELSON APPROVES TUBERCULOSI SUNDAY. Churches Called Upon to Preach Gospel of Health on April 24th. Approval of the movement for a national tuberculosis Sunday, on April 24, recently inaugurated by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, is given in a statement by The Right Reverend Richard H. Nelson, Bishop Coadjutor of Albany N. Y., for the Protestant Episcopal Church, issued today. Bishop Nelson says: "I think well of the proposal that all the churches should unite on April twenty-fourth in presenting the truth concerning tuberculosis and stimulating public interest in the campaign for its prevention and cure. "The campaign has entered upon its second stage. Having labored with some success to point out the danger, we are now concerned with the cure, and this depends upon improvement in conditions of personal and social life. Whatever the churches may be able to do along this line, will be a double contribution to physical and spiritual betterment and I should think that all would wish to have a share in such an enterprise." Reports from all parts o the United States indicate that the Sunday set apart will be generally observed, by presenting the truth concerning tubercusis and by the distribution of special literature. No.25 Started Beatrice Itz-Knighten. KS HAS BEEN SETTLED OUT MUCH TO THE REGRET OF OLKS WHO WERE MAKING S TO FEAST UPON IT. ASTE TOO MUCH OF THEIR BOUT THINGS. ARE OF NO VALUE TO ing that just before Mr. So and So died, be blackened both of his wife's eyes, that on his return home he found her hugging and kissing another man and her rash act was the cause of the death of her husband, that "Mrs. So and So, is drinking herself to death, because her side lover is running after and spending his money with a no account white, black or yellow female cat who is as homely as a mud fence" and so on. Many of this class of high society people are so evil minded that they will on hearing of the death of someone whom they never knew rush into their home and "nose or rubber around" to see if they can detect any signs of poison having been administered to the departed strangers to them and they will hang around their homes all day and night in order to get free eating and free beer, and whenever a big funeral is held in one of the churches, this same evil minded class of high society rubber-necks, will rush into the church, for no other purpose than to gaze in the face of someone they never knew in this life, to see just how Mrs. So and So takes on over the loss of her husband and whether or not she is figuring on marrying her lover the next day, and to speculate on the coffin costing so and so much money. The ill mannered conduct on the part of many so-called highly educated Afro-Americans in these respects clearly indicates that they still have a very long road to travel before they can ever expect to reach the highest plane of civilization. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declares that the campaign against tuberculosis is a warfare against ignorance, and that as soon as the people of the United States know that tuberculosis can be prevented and cured, they will demand that the needless waste of 200,000 lives annually be stopped. GOVERNOR CHARLES N. HASKELL REFUSED TO SIGN THE BILL TO DISFRANCHISE THE AFRO-AMERICANS OF OKLAHOMA. Last week in the midst of much bitterness, the legislature of Oklahoma passed the Taylor election bill which was intended to disfranchise the 40,000 Negro voters of that state, but when the bill was presented to its Democratic Gevornor, Charles N. Haskell, he promptly and without the least hesitation vetoed it. And in this respect, the Negro will still enjoy his manhood rights in Oklahoma. Thanks to Governor Haskell, for standing up for the right along this line. Attorney J. B. O'Connell who occupies a fine suite of offices on the 12th floor of the Marquette Bldg., formerly of the law firm of Devine and O'Connell, has hosts of steadfast friends who would be delighted to see him make the race for one of the Municipal judgeships this fall. --- THE BROADAX Will preintigate and at all times make mandatory mention of Danger, but Catholism, Protestantism, Priest, Industrial, Single Taxon, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

It is a germ disease. It is caused by the germ known as the tubercular germ. Consumption is most frequently con- tracted by air contamination. There are two kinds of dirty air; air that is contaminated because of having been breathed and laden with carbonic acid gas. This is the case when in our houses or shops or work places we do not have pure, fresh air. Another kind of dirty air is that is contaminated with disease germs. Consumption is usually spread through spit. Doctors and sanitariums are universally agreed that if there were no spit there would be no consumption. The consumptive spits upon the floor or, upon the sidewalk; in time the spit dries, still containing the germs of disease, which are caught up by the air and blown about. Air that contains the germs of consumption is deadly air. The membranous lining of the nose and throat furnish just the proper lodging place for the germs that are taken in through these channels. The consumption germ grows best at a temperature of about 100 degrees. The lungs and nasal passages have then, as you will see, both the degree of warmth and the moisture that are favorable to the growth of the germ. We cannot be too careful about spitting. In all shops, stores and work places, cuspidors should be provided, and these should contain an antiseptic solution to receive the sputum. They can then be washed and cleansed, their contents being emptied into the sewers. Spitting on the sidewalk and in public places is a disgusting habit and it is dangerous. If the germs of consumption are inhaled in the dust with the air which we breathe, it is almost certain that infection will follow and consumption will develop. The Health Department has nothing to do with the curing of disease. Our work lies in the field of prevention. When we think of sickness, we do not think of medicine; we think of prevention. It is prevention that we are seeking to profit by. There is no better way to prevent consumption than to stop spitting on floors and in places where the sputum will dry and the germs be scattered about for people to breathe.

WHEREAS by the Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth Decennial Census of the United States is to be taken, beginning on the fifteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and ten; and WHEREAS a correct enumeration of the population every ten years is required by the Constitution of the United States for the purpose of determining the representation of the several States in the House of Representatives; and WHEREAS it is of the utmost importance to the interests of all the people of the United States that this census should be a complete and accurate report of the population and resources of the country; Now, therefore, I, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and make known that, under the act aforesaid, it is the duty of every person to answer all questions on the census schedules applying to him and the family to which he belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his family, and that any adult refusing to do so is subject to penalty. The sole purpose of the census is to secure general statistical information regarding the population and resources of the country, and replies are required from individuals only in order to permit the compilation of such general statistics. The census has nothing to do with taxation, with army or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration, or with the enforcement of any national, state, or local law or ordinance, nor can any person be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be made regarding any individual person or his affair. For the due protection of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information every employee of the Census Bureau is prohibited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. I therefore earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly, completely, and accurately 'all inquiries addressed to them by the enumerators or other employees of the Census Bureau, and thereby to contribute their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this fifteenth day of March, A. D., one thousand nine hundred and ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fourth. WM. H. TAFT. P. C. KNOX. Secretary of State. GORDON'S FAREWELL POEM. The following poem was read by Senator Gordon of Mississippi in his farewell address to the senate recently. The dear old black mammy, so gentle AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. "We are for race industry." Our business will never be turned over to a trust controlled by white men. The game of comparison is the most natural and human way of determining likes and dislikes. Like Tiffany's Jewelry; like Stetson's Hats and Marshall Field's Dry Goods; so Emanuel Jackson stands in funeral goods for quality. We sell as low as the customer can afford to purchase and as high a quality of goods as can be purchased in America. Glittering inducements to Chicagoans to hasten their approaching demise, in cases where it is at all imminent, are held out by the new combination of Undertakers. Sentiment and love for departed members of our families and human ties are too strongly bound for the public to believe the sincerity of their statements and advertisements. The constant reminder, that one dies quickly to take advantage of low prices, should have little sympathy from the public. We do not bury any white people because prejudice is too strong. They will not employ, especially of late years, any Colored undertaker. Now if you do not like our manner of doing business, employ some other undertaker not controlled by white men and have the benefits and profits of your money going to a combination that does not employ one single Colored man in their lumber yards; factory or officie buildings.

Dr. Washington's Report—Farmers' Annual Conference. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. The wisdom and commercial value of the helpful work which Tuskegee (Alabama) institute is doing for and among our people in the south were never before so generally recognized by the wealth producing classes in this country as at the present time. While I am a strict disciple of higher education for my race and while I must insist that constant agitation for all the rights, privileges and immuni- JESSUP AGRICULTURAL WAGON. ties guaranteed by the constitution to citizens of the United States without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude be kept up, as long as discrimination on account of color is practiced by the people of this country against the Negro all fair minded persons must admit that industrial education in all of its phases is of inestable value to the masses of our people who make their living out of the soil. Home getting, landowning, the trades and professions should ever go hand in hand in the great work of uplift among us. An idea of the national and international scope of the work at Tuskegee may be gleamed from the recent report of Dr. Washington for 1909. He says: During the year which has just closed the number of students enrolled in all departments of the institute proper has been 1,621,1,058 young men and 538 young women. The average attendance has been 1,040. The average attendance exclude the 400 enrolled in the winter short course in agriculture nor the 144 children in the training school. The regular students in the institute proper have come from thirty-sight states and twenty-one foreign countries. The average has been fourteen. None being admitted under fourth. THE POTATOES At the close of the year 119 persons received diplomas and industrial or trade certificates. The number of students to finish the course in proportion to the enrollment is small and perhaps will always be so for the reason that in the degrees that the economic element enters into trade education the student is tempted to work before finishing the course. But experience shows that those of who are doing the most useful work left the institution before finishing the full course. The number of students reached directly in the class room does not, however, embrace all the work done by the institution. It carries on constantly a wide range of what might be designated as "extension work," and this currently adds to the annual expenditure of the current extension work in brief includes the annual National conference, together with its numerous other known as local conferences. This extension work also includes the publication of a weekly farm paper, Farmers Monthly Institute, the short course in agriculture, the current extension work, now extended to Minnesota and Wisconsin, supported largely by the United States government and the general education board, a town night school, a town afternoon class, the county institute, ministers' night school, a weekly mothers' meeting, county ministers' meetings, supervision of a county and state fair, the National Negro Business league and a general effort to improve the country schools. One of this latter work is seen in the situation that in one year the colored people in Macon county, Ala., contributed in cash toward the building of new schoolhouses and the extension of the school term more than $10,000 in the work it ought to add to the school officials he gives us every assistance and encouragement possible. In all departments of the institution 108 instructors and helpers have been employed. In considering the cost of education at the Tucson Institute one should only keep in mind the double character of education, academic and industrial, but also the further fact that the institution is in session practically twelve months in the year instead of eight or nine, as is true of most institutions. It may interest the trustees to note that the cost of the table board for students has been for each of them 17 cents per day, or 5.68 cents per meal. I ought to mention three elements that have added considerably to the item of current expense—first, an almost entire loss of a large sweet potato crop from rottening; second, the loss of a large pro- tein crop from cholera; and third, an unexpected outbreak of sickness among our students. Notwithstanding the hard and constant struggle we have had this year to get money, it will be seen from the detailed report of our treasurer that we have ended the year free from all indebtedness for current expenses. This has not been done without the exercise of the strictest economy. The ending of the year free of debt be allowed to all farmers, however, through the generosity of friends in Brooklyn." Mrs. Russell Sage and other friends who will not permit the use of their names. At the nineteenth annual Tuskegee Negro conference recently held, which was attended by thousands of farmers and their wives, one of the principal subjects for discussion was "How I Bought a Farm." Dr. Washington said that a great many persons would be disfranchised, because only those who had acquired a farm would be allowed to speak. The stories told were interesting, instructive and inspiring. The farmers in the audience who had not yet bought farms resolved that they would not be disfranchised at the next conference because of their failure to own a piece of land. Mr. E. P. Powell told how he bought 295 acres of land, Mr. Jordan of Mississippi 420 acres, Mr. Jones 290 acres J. Thomas 1,034 acres and Scott Bond 2,789 acres. Mr. Jones said: "When I look down in the valley on my arm and think of the many days and nights I have suffered there a peculiar feeling comes over me. Well do I remember when I spent the night in that little shack over there, and on one occasion I pulled off my boots and left them sitting near me, when, to my surprise, on waking in the morning they contained considerable water. I became a dissatisfied creature, and it was there I resolved I would better my condition if the Lord spared me." One of the most important events of the conference was the address of J. M. Parker of the' J. M. Parker cotton firm of New Orleans, who is one of the largest individual planters in the country. He gave a strong, sensible and forcible address to the conference. He said that "the credit system is the curse of the south." He urged every one present to get on a cash basis and stay there. At the workers' conference the subject for discussion was "How Can the CLASS IN DRESSMAKING. Schools Increase the industrial Efficiency of the People?" The principal address was delivered by Dr. James A. Dillard, secretary of the Jeans fund. He told of what he is doing to enable the rural schools to increase the industrial efficiency of the people by placing expert teachers in rural districts. President Fuller of Howe institute, Memphis, Tenn., reported that his institution has an arrangement with a gas company whereby a cooking demonstrator and eighteen gas ranges are furnished and cooking lessons are given to all family cooks who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity. The valentine social given by the Young People's Baptist union of the Beulah Baptist church, Pittsburg, on Monday evening, Feb. 14, was a decided financial as well as a social success. Nothing was left undone by the young folks that would tend to make every one present feel the warmth and general spirit which characterize the members of the union. Walter Williamson is president and Miss Olease Banks secretary. 1 Bury Cheaper Than The Trust GEORGE O.

Considerable amusement was created among the pupils of the public schools in Indianapolis, Ind., recently, when they were given the privilege of selecting a name for the buildings. The white children suggested such names as "Charles Major," "Thomas A. Hendricks" and "Benjamin Franklin." When it came to the building known as the "colored school," enthusiasm ran high. The first pupil to be recognized by the teacher announced with all the dignity and persuasive oratory of a statesman Booker T. Washington, another Joe Gans and still another Jack Johnson. As none of the names mentioned was decided upon the buildings will continue to be known in numerical order. This was an instance where race pride was manifested by both races. Washington or Johnson building would be in good taste at any rate. New Hall For Pittsburgh Odd Fellows. At a joint meeting of Eureka lodge, No. 1436, and Industry lodge, No. 1535, G. U. O. of O.

Belmont Invites Afro-American Women to Join Movement. The suffrage movement among women is a very live topic just now in most all sections of the country, with New York perhaps as the storm center. New impetus has been given the cause in New York by the Negro Women's Business league, headed by Miss Irena L. Moorman, who at the suggestion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, president of the Political Equality association, held an interesting and largely attended meeting recently at the Mount Olivet Baptist church for the purpose of enlisting the support of Afro-American women in the movement. The promoters of the scheme could not have selected a more capable woman than Miss Moorman to lead the fight among our people in Greater New York. There were many distinguished women of both races present. Miss Moorman presided. In the course of her address Mrs. Belmont said: "My friends, I am here because I feel that bond of human equality which alone the woman suffrage movement can create, and I, one of its exponents, come because I know that unless this cause means freedom and equal rights to all women of every race, of every creed, rich or poor, its doctrines are worthless and it must fall of its purpose. "As president of the Political Equality association I extend to all present an earnest invitation to join." Mrs. Henry Villard said: "To me the right of suffrage has always seemed self evident, yet I know there are mountains of prejudice to be overcome, and they will be, as they were in the cause of slavery. The great argument I put forward is the great principle of democracy. It is as valuable to women as to men. "It gratifies me that Negroes are becoming aroused to the cause of suffrage, for it is a greater cause than that of anti-slavery, because its object is to free the mind." Others who spoke were Mrs. Ella H. Crossett, president of the State Suffrage association; Mrs. M. G. Lawton and Mrs. F. R. Keyser, president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Before the meeting closed Mrs. Belmont said: "This is one of the most interesting meetings I have ever attended. I shall be most glad to welcome any of these women at my headquarters on Fifth avenue." WHERE EVERY PATRON Saves ON EVERY PURCHASE Telephone Yards 693 JOHN J.
