The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX M. ALDERMAN JOHN BURNS. One of the most valuable and efficient members of the city council, who will be re-elected to that body from the 30th Ward, with both hands down on April 5th. Alderman John Burns, who has represented the 30th Ward for six years in the City Council, is known as one of the most active workers in that body, for public improvements. He is responsible for 22 miles of new pavements, and the ward is now becoming one of the best improved districts in Chicago. It is also the best lighted ward in the city. Mr. Burns has made a good representative for all of its people. He is fair and impartial to all, and has represented all alike, regardless of creed or color, or party politics. Never has there been a better friend in improving the conditions, especially in the east end of the Ward, than Alderman Burns. He is a faithful servant, and should receive the united support of all the citizens. a loss to the ward, to the extent that the 30th Ward would lose a member ship on those committees. As it has been stated before, Alderman Burns, has been untiring in his efforts to improve the sanitary condition of the streets and alleys in all parts of the ward, which he so tingly represents. He worked night and day, in order to bring around, the paying of Armour avenue and Dearborn street, with asphalt, which greatly adds to their beauty and to the value of the property on them. While addressing a meeting of Colored citizens, on Sunday afternoon in the latter part of January, 1909, at 4856 Armour Ave. He then and there gave his word and honor, that he would see to it, that 49th street running from Armour avenue to State He is now a member of the Committee on Finance, Committee on Gas, Oil and Electric Light, Committee on Streets and Alleys South, and Committee on Printing. These committees enable him to get large appropriations for the ward, and if he should not be re-elected, it would be [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. a loss to the ward, to the extent that the 30th Ward would lose a membership on those committees.

Therefore every Afro-American in all parts of the 30th ward, should on Tuesday, April 5th, record his vote in favor of returning John Burns to the city council. For he is the right Alderman in the right place. ALDERMAN JOHN H. JONES. Alderman John H. Jones, is finishing his fourth term in the city council and in the past he has faithfully served all the people residing in the 8th ward, right up to the handle, his past record in the council is without a blemish, and while serving on many of its most important committees, he has always figured on how to advance the interests of all the people residing in this marvelous city. At the present time he is head of the Building department of the council, and as such he has worked early and late, in the interest of enacting better laws for the regulation of public buildings of every kind in this city and to make it possible for people to frequent and work in them without running the risk of losing their lives. WILSON SHUFELT. Wilson Shufelt, the regular Republican candidate for Alderman of the Second ward who is a self-made business man, was born in Kinderhook, N. Y., November 3, 1860. Seven years later his family moved to De Kalb County, Illinois, only to move on in 1871 to Labette County, Kansas. Traveling across the western plains' was by prairie schooner in those days and young Shufelt trudged along by the wagon or rode, nestled among the household goods, until the new home in the land of grasshoppers and cyclones was reached. Until the autumn of 1882 he lived the life of the average farmer's boy in Kansas. Then he back-tracked to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., there to supplement the schooling received in western log cabin schools with a course in Eastman's Business College. In the spring of 1883 he did what most men of parts do sooner or later—HE CAME TO CHICAGO, AND HERE HE STILL IS. He knew no one and only cared so SAVING THE BABIES. In previous articles that the Department of Health has been furnishing through this paper, it has had a good deal to say about the value of fresh air and sunshine. Today we have another subject that we want to talk about. It is a very important subject, because it has to do with the saving of the babies of our city. During the winter months when people are housed up, the bad-air diseases prevail and the deaths from the bad-air diseases are very many. During the summer months, the babies die; they die from intestinal or diarrhoeal diseases. These diseases are caused mainly by dirty milk. By this, we mean impure milk that contains the germs of disease. Something over a year ago, working along the lines of providing safe, clean milk for the babies of Chicago, the Department of Health had an ordinance passed providing that in time all cows should be tuberculin tested, and that until dairy herds are tested, all milk shall be Pasteurized. Pasteurization is a process of heating milk to a temperature that will destroy the dangerous germs in it and yet not destroy the nutritious and digestive qualities of the milk. This ordinance has been in force for about a year. At the time of its passage, it met with opposition. It is still meeting with opposition. At a recent meeting of the City Council, an ordinance was introduced by Alderman Hey to repeal the Pasteurization clause of the ordinance. The effect of this will be to admit dirty milk again into Chicago. This means that more babies will die from being compelled to take dirty impure milk. The Health Department is greatly interested in having the law as it now stands remain in force. It puts the issue squarely up to the babies. It is the milk dealer against the babies. Shall we work for the babies, or shall we work for the milk dealer? In 1908, 2,450 babies died in Chicago from the diarrhoeal diseases; in 1909, 2,011 died. Pasteurization was not in force in 1908. It was in force during 1909, and it shows a setting of 468 babies; this means 468 force He is also a member of the committee on streets and alleys south, and a member of the special Park commission, and if Alderman Jones had his way, all of the Lake Shore front from Grant Park to South Chicago, would be transformed into a beautiful bathing beach, and small parks in every direction would be in evidence with a profusion of lovely flowers, for the benefit and for the enjoyment of the rich and the poor alike. Worthy Afro-Americans, have no better friend in the world than Alderman Jones, and the many good deeds he has rendered them without any hope of reward are too numerous to mention, and on election day those residing in the 8th ward, should stand up as if one man and manfully assist to retain his services in the city council. elusive then as they do now. But he was the kind who was willing to do any honest work and when nothing better offered he took a job in a livery stable at $900 a week. A year after coming to Chicago he went to work for George A. Seavers in a minor capacity. His merits were soon recognized and he was advanced until he became the agent for the Seavers Elevator Co., a position he still holds. MR. SHUFELT HAS LIVED IN THE SECOND WARD FOR TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS. He resides at 35 E. Twenty-second street. He is a member of the Hamilton Club and of the North American Union, Council No. 78. He has never held public office. Wilson Shufelt is the sort of man you would trust and rely on in your own business. As a public servant he will justify your support of him. Vote for him for Alderman on April 5. funerals, surely a result worth working for. Now, will you please speak to your alderman, and ask him to stand by the Commissioner of Health in the fight he is making for the babies? The ordinance repealing the Pasteurization Ordinance should be defeated. The law as it now stands should be let alone. Ask your alderman to vote to sustain the Department of Health, and ask him to vote to SAVE THE BABIES. AN APRIL BALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE EMANUEL SETTLEMENT DAY NURSERY. Monday evening, April 18th, under the management of Mrs. Frank B. Waring, an April ball will be given at Masonic Hall, 3956 State street, for the benefit of the Emanuel Settlement Day Nursery, 2732 Armour avenue. All attending the affair, will receive some kind of a present. Admission 35 cents. The "Un Baile," is for a worthy cause, and on that occasion, Masonic Hall should be filled to overflowing. Hon. Oscar Hebel, member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, has been a consistent friend of the small tax payers, and it goes without saying that when he comes up for reelection this coming fall he will win at the polls without the lest trouble, for by his straight forward course he is held in the highest esteem, by the great mass of the voters throughout Cook county.

Member of the Finance and other important committees of the city council, who will be triumphently re-elected to it from the Twenty-first Ward, on the 5th day of April. In the beautiful spring of 1906, after an exciting contest with Harry R. Eagle, Alderman Charles M. Foell, who ably ranks among the many honorable lawyers of Chicago, was elected to the city council from the Twenty-first ward, and from the time that he began his labors in that body, he has proven himself to be one of its most valuable and prominent members, his constituents have been so well pleased with his efforts in their behalf that he was re-elected in 1908, with an increased majority over 1906. At the present time he is a member of the Finance committee, which is the most important committee of the city council, he is also chairman of the committee of harbors, warves and bridges, and no one in the past has worked harder to improve the harbor facilities of Chicago, than Alderman Foell, and at all times he has taken great pride in all the affairs pertaining to his office and he has honestly endeavored to serve all the people of this city to the best of his ability. Many times he has been instrumental with his clear and cool judgment in guiding his associates onto firm or solid ground when legal phases of various propositions, affecting the rights or the interests of all the citizens of Chicago that came up for discussion. In an eminent degree he represents the highest and the cleanest type of the new City Fathers and he favors every movement which will bring about a greater and more beautiful Chicago. He is popular with his fellow citizens on the North Side. He has served for two or three terms as President of the Marquette Club. He knows no man by the color of his skin, for they all look alike to him, and on Tuesday, April the 5th, he will be returned to the city council from the Twenty-first ward. [Name] WILSON SHUFELT.

PHONE DOUGLAS 4461. Easter morning light broke the day with a glorious brightness, bringing peace, happiness and joy to all. --- With all its earliness, 6 o'clock service at the Episcopal church was well attended by earnest communicants. Mr. Patrick H. O'Donnel was scheduled to speak at the Institutional Church, Easter Sunday night, but owing to illness the congregation was disappointed. However, as Rev. Carey said, "God seemed to see fit that Rev. Jenifer should turn his footsteps toward the Institutional Church, he would call upon him to deliver the sermon of the evening. Dr. Jenifer most ably responded. The music was excellent and the quartette, consisting of Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Mrs. Della Ridgeway Browne, Mr. J. Gray Lucas and Mr. Frank B. Waring; sang a beautiful selection before the close of the service. --- Mr. Richard Crolley has gone to Marianville, Kentucky, to attend his church conference. The D. V. C. Club will give a character party Saturday evening, April 16th, at the home of the president, Mrs. W. Arthur Falls, 36th and Vernon avenue. The oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Dunlap, who went to Tuskegee Institute two years ago, has taken un- to himself a wife. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hardin will soon reside at 3755 Wabash avenue. Bob says he will soon be able to sing: "Down among the old folks once again." Little William Johnson, who resides with his parents at Dr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Lacey's, 3640 Forest avenue, was suddenly taken very ill last week, but is now improving. The Willing Workers, King's Daughters, met at Mrs. Wickliffe's 56th and Wabash avenue, Friday, April 1st. Mrs. Ada McKinley, leader; Miss Constance Hancock, secretary. Mrs. Oscar DePriest was on the sick list for a few days, but is now much better. Mrs. William Emanuel is soon to give an entertainment for the benefit of the Emanuel Day Nursery. It should be well attended as this is a worthy cause. "As you do unto the least of mine, you do unto me." Since the women are being lined up in the cause of Mr. Edward Wright for alderman of the second ward, his election should be assured. Mrs. Charley Hall of Washington, D. C., was in the city for Easter. Initial performance of the Amateur Minstrel Club—the biggest postlenten event of the week—was given Monday evening, March 28th, at Oakland Hall, for the benefit of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored people, one of our most worthy institutions.

Graduate of the Rush Medical College, an eminent and a successful M. D., who is a great honor to his profession and to the Afro-American race. The original of this cut, Dr. J. Norman Croker, attended the 20th anniversary of his graduation from Rush Medical College on Monday night, March 28th, at the Hotel La Salle. The occasion was one that will long be remembered by those present. The class of 1890 is scattered all over the world, and the love for each other brought the majority of those living back to go over the scenes of the past. The expression of friendship for Dr. Croker was shown on all sides, for it was recalled by all present that he was the first Colored man to take a degree in that famous college in its almost 70 years of existence. recognized was not large enough for one of his caliber, so he sought Chi cago as his future field. His moral and Christian life surrounded him with many who gave him words of encouragement, the uplift that was given him then, he treasures to this day. In his struggling hours, in his early practice of medicine the hands of two men above all others gave him cheer and assistance. They were the Hon. Franklin Mac Veagh, now secretary of the treasury under President Taft and the other was Mr. Wilson Shufelt, who is now running for alderman of the second ward. Dr. Croker's office is in the same building in which Mr. Shu Dr. Croker was the foundation stone of our people and well did he lay the stone, by his efforts the doors of old "Rush" is ever open to those of us who knock. His brilliant attainments in his class won for him special letters in Surgery from Prof. Chas, T. Parkes, and similar ones in their several departments from Professors Senn, Byford and Lyman. The Good Fellowship as shown at the reunion of his class, has stimulated Dr. Croker to such an extent, that he has nothing but good cheer and love toward all. Dr. Croker in recalling and looking back 20 years, tells things that should inspire those of us who now look upon life as a failure. With hardly any thing he started out in life to do something. Having been born in Richmond, Ind., being the son of John N. and Sarah Croker, his home town he craft, Charles Washington, Frank W. Waring, G. W. Henderson, F. L. Barnett, A. S. Childress, Howard Cornwell, R. M. Stokes, are members. Julius and Joe as the Tambo Men were excellent. One could hardly imagine the immaculate, dignified, Julius as a funny man, but he "took" and was perfection. His condition of "I think I hear a Woodpecker Knocking on my Family Tree," kept everyone full of laughter. He came out ahead—was presented with a head of cabbage. Of course we know that Joe has always been full of pranks and his "Stand up and Fight like h—","brought the house down." Dock Smith's tones were round and full and have not lost any of his vocal sweetness. His "Good-Night, Dear" was highly appreciated. Howard Corwell and Isaac Dunlap were excellent bone men. Ike got off the best joke of the evening and is now dubbed Mr. Vice-Versa. Where, oh where, was Charley Washington and his skirt dance? "Billie" Carroll was fine as interlocutor—in fact the whole program was fine. The affair was well attended and the "Boys" can vote themselves a success and the Old Folks Home will be beneficiary to the extent of about $150.00. recognized was not large enough for one of his caliber, so he sought Chicago as his future field.

Dr. Croker's office is in the same building in which Mr. Shufelt's office is and has been ever since he left school. Mr. Shufelt in every manner possible has been the friend and companion of the Doctor and the Doctor thinks it is his duty to speak a word for those whom he has known to be above prejudice and whose hearts and hands are ever in the right place, he calls upon his many friends in the 2nd ward to vote for Mr. Shufelt, by so doing no mistake will be made but the ward will be honored by having him as its representative. Dr. Croker is a man who takes time from his large practice long enough to speak for the city's good. He is a devoted member of Quinn Chapel and believes that the city should be well governed and for that reason he stops a moment to exdorse Mr. Shufelt. The doctor can be found at his office, No. 1 East 22nd street, during office hours, and will be found a genial gentleman and a splendid doctor. strawberry color chiffon broadcloth; and a host of others who were there in all their glory. The crowd was so large, however, it was difficult to get a full description of many, but the boys had success for a very worthy cause. It is too bad that some very nice looking, well appearing, young guests of the entertainment, strayed away from the prohibition district and found a place to imbibe, and one in particular almost making a spectacle of himself on Cottage Grove Ave. AS TO MIXED MARRIAGES. It is passing strange that there can be found a single Colored woman in this enlightened time who is so utterly devoid of common sense as to criticise the Colored man or the Colored woman who hapepn to find their life mates from among a purely caucasian or other people. We say it is passing strange that such a Colored woman may be found because the objection is rarely heard of from Colored men. If Colored women realized that such silly objections from them were a sort of confession that they lack sufficient of womanly warm to cope with their caucasian sisters perhaps they would hesitate to appear so ridiculous. The Informer knows that the charms of Colored women are relatively equal to those of any other women and they detract from their own charms by such silly prejudices. And their charm is acknowledged by white men as well as by Colored men. Within one week in the city of Washington, D. C., two white gentlemen led Colored ladies to hymenal's altar. In Louisiana there is an agitation to modify the laws of marriage so white men may marry their black concubines, and thus lagalize their And who can object to this growing admiration of Colored women by white gentlemen? white gentlemen: Let us hear no more of this silly prattle about this or that Colored man not thinking enough of his own girls to marry one of them. The "Melting Pot" of America is large enough to take care of all the boys and girls. The question as to who one shall marry is a decidedly personal matter, and it is the height of impoliteness for anyone, except papa or mama, to criticise the individual's choice.—The Informer, Detroit, Mich, March 26, '10.
