The warm April showers, the first of the week which were so beneficial to all kinds of vegetation causing it to spring forth a month ahead of time, making us all feel like sending up a long prayer to the god of nature for showering his bessings upon us and that after all life is worth living, but at the same time, the warm spring showers were the beginning of the end, for many old time politicians, for many of them were slaughtered right and left at the Aldermanic election on Tuesday. Not for many a day or year has such a political revolution swept over Chicago, and both Democratic and Republican Aldermen who labored under the impression that they stood on solid foundations were completely knocked off their feet and many of them are down and out for many years to come. Aldermen John Burns, John H. Jones, Nicholas R. Finn, Michael C. Conlon, J. E. Evans, W. J. Roberts, W. J. McKenna, J. C. Clancy, W. H. Blenco and John Golombiewski, were among those who went down to defeat in their respective wards. It is greatly to be regretted, that Alderman John Burns, of the 30th ward, Alderman John H. Jones, of the 8th ward and Alderman N. R. Finn of the 20th ward, failed in being re-elected; for at all times they voted and worked for the best interest of all of the people of Chicago, and in the future they CLERGY AND DOCTORS FOR TU BERCULOSIS SUNDAY. Rev. Dr. Aked and Dr. Flick endorse Movement for April 24th. Rev. Charles F. Aked, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, of New York City, and Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, the famous Philadelphia specialist, and chief organizer of the last International Congress on Tuberculosis, both issued statements to the newspapers today indorsing in most emphatic language the movement for a National Tuberculosis Sunday on April 24th. Dr. Aked says: "I am profoundly thankful to know that the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is planning on a great scale a 'National Tuberculosis Sunday,' I shall be glad to co-operate of my ability and opportunity. In the old days a doctor's diagnosis, 'Consumption,' was regarded as a sentence of death, and the prevalence of tuberculosis was thought of in the light of some mysterious 'visitation of God.' Today we know that tuberculosis is curable, and, what promises even more for the human race, that it is preventable. Preventable diseases ought to be prevented. And the Church of the Living God, with the memory of Him whom we love to call 'the Good Physician,' of whom it is recorded that 'He went about doing good,' and that 'He healed many that were sick of divers diseases,' should be in the van of those who love their fellows, seeking to prevent preventable ills HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY will be greatly missed in the city council. Wilson Shufelt, after a spirited and most bitter contest with the aid of Alderman George F. Harding, successfully caused his three leading opponents John H. Montgomery, Edward H. Wright and Edward C. Wentworth to fall on the outside of the breastworks in the 2nd ward. Mr. Shufelt, received 3619 votes, against 2376, for Mr. Montgomery 1583, for Mr. Wright, and 1,081 for Mr. Wentworth. Thus indicating, that Mr. Wright received 500 more votes than Mr. Wentworth, putting him third in the race, and if there are actually, 4500 registered Negro voters in the 2nd ward, and if the great majority of them who made so much noise before the election, who loudly boasted of their loyalty and race pride; who wanted to knock those in the head who did not act and think like themselves; would have voted for Mr. Wright, unitedly he would be to-day the new member in the city council from the 2nd ward. Col. Chauncey Dewey, has clearly demonstrated one thing. Namely, that he is fully capable of taking care of himself, in a good old fashioned political fight, and that he will continue to ride rough shod over those who would attempt to oppose his onward march, and that his second ward machine, after receiving many hard knocks and jolts, is today stronger and more powerful than it has been in the past. The world is cursed by ignorance and darkness. It is to be blessed by knowledge and light. Tuberculosis is born of ignorance; it flourishes in the darkness. And if the light of the knowledge of the glory of God shines from the face of Jesus Christ into the Church, it must stream again the Church into dark homes and into dark lives and the dark places of the city where physical and moral evils abound. Social problems are spiritual at heart. We worship God by serving man. And I wish you every success in your effort to enlist the enthusiastic and consecrated service of the Christian Church." Dr. Flick, after expressing his keen interest in the movement, and his desire to be of all possible assistance, says: "No body of men has better vantage ground for good work in the crusade against tuberculosis than clergymen. They are in close touch with the people who need education and what they say will be accepted as from authority. Such a cause as the stamping out of a plague must appeal to them as it exemplifies the quintessence of religion. Every clergyman in the land should become a teacher of the doctrine of health and preventing medicine. He should, moreover, as a leader of men become a living active force in the world movement for stamping out consumption." Reports thus far received at the National headquarters in New York indicate that on April 4th more people will hear the gospel of health and right living than have ever before received such a message.

Read the press as it is printed and colored by most of the prejudiced white presses, make him full, but full of the wrong misconceptions of the true character of the Negro, and yet the thoughtless, non-race loving egotistic, prideless, know-nothing and do-nothing Negro, will abuse vilify and curse the Negro press whilst he will read, absorb, pay for and digest all of the slander, vitiation and venom of white journals. We heartily endorse the readiness of white journals, but the Negroes who reads them to the exclusion of the Negro journals is whetting the knife of racial suicide. Breaths there a Negro with a soul so dead that he cannot feel the rhythm of Paul Dunbar's pen, or with one so in harmoumonious, that he cannot feel the tenderness of a Phyllis Wheatley, as well as he can that of Kipling and Wilcox. The most potent factor in civilizing and Christianizing the people of last century, was the press of the country, and if true in the later doubly so in this, the twentieth. There is but one side of the Negro question printed in most of our white journals, and that is the dark side. There can be no bright side; only through the medium of the Negro press, and there can be no press unless supported, both influentially and pecuniarly by the Negro. When ever you hear a Negro stand on the street, rare back and exclaim there is nothing in a Negro paper, or that there is nothing in a Negro anyway that is a pure sign that he has swallowed a cartoon or disgraceful pen picture of the Negro from some white "yellow journal." Thinking it is pleasant, but dying all the same time. Nine-tenths of the reading class of our people subscribe for weekly papers, and they can get the same current news from a Negro weekly as they get from a white weekly; and besides they get from the Negro weekly all of th important and interesting news of the race. We have professional men, business men and race leaders (so-called) that will not subscribe for, read and pay for a Negro newspaper. We may petition, wall and cry aloud against the wrongs that are being perpetuated upon us, but in vain. "We are the architects of our own fortune." If the Negro expects success, he must win it by his own un- daunted efforts. Cursed be he who would rise to yonder heights and rests lethergically in the vale of know-nothingness and do nothingness. Remember the axiomatic chanting of the poet: "Pigmies are pigmies still, though purched upon the Alps, And pyramids are pyramids in the vales." If we make the race a success we will stand everlastingly prominent, though we dwell in the vales of prejudice, hatred and malice on account of previous conditions of servitude. A Negro professional man or woman, be he a preacher, lawyer, or doctor, who finds no time to read a Negro journal, whilst he reads others by the score, is a racial nuisance, and does not deserve the support of the race. The sooner he is kicked out of his profession and out of creation the better it will be for the race. "A home without a newspaper is a hundred years behind. Every Negro should take his home paper, and if possible other prominent Negro journals. A Negro who would endeavor to solve the race problems by eliminating the Negro press, might as well try to secure a note by giving a mortgage on a cyclone. Yet there are Negroes who will resolute and resolve in conventions on the Negro problem, who will not sub-scribe for a Negro paper. The Negor press is worthy of the support of the race—From Richmond, Va., Reformer. The Physicians, Pharmacists and Dentists' Club held their meeting at the Dumas Hotel, April 4th. A fine lunch was partaken of and an excellent program pulled off. It is the intention of this Club to have a monthly luncheon. This association has recently been incorporated. A public health meeting under the auspices of the Physicians', Pharmacists' and Dentists' Club of Chicago was held at St. John's A. M. E. Church, 62nd and Elizabeth streets, on Sunday, April 3rd. The program consisted of an address by Dr. E. S. Miller, a paper by Dr. William F. Tyler, the Englewood physician. A special musical program had been provided for the occasion and there was a good crowd present who entered heartily into the exercises. Census Bureau Has Innovation In Advance Population Schedule. THE CENSUS BUREAU INTENDS INTORDUCING AN IN NOVATION IN CENSUS-TAKING MEHODS HERE. --- Each head of a family in this city will receive, a few days prior to April 15, when the United States census begins, an "advance population schedule," containing all the questions which appear in the official population schedule to be carried by the census takers. These advance schedules are to be filled in by the heads of families, or, in their absence, by other members of their families, and the schedules will be taken up by the enumerators during the progress of the actual enumeration. This action on the part of the Census Bureau is a complete innovation and an important advance in American census methods of obtaining a count of the population, and the bureau authorities expect it to prove of great practical and scientific value. It insures greater accuracy and completeness in the returns, as the heads of the families, who are generally the most reliable sources given sufficient opportunity in advance of the enumeration to examine deliberately and to answer exactly the census questions. In past censuses it was the case that the head of the family was absent at work when the enumerator called and reliance had to be placed on other members of the family, frequently servants or children, or on neighbors, none of whom can be classed as dependable informants. The advance schedule will also undoubtedly prove of great assistance to the enumerators. It will enable them to perform their work expeditiously and agreeably, and will lessen the number of cases involving repeated calls by them. It is the intention of the census authorities to confine the present scope of this auxiliary method of population enumeration to certain of the large cities, which, in the past, have contained the greater number of absentee heads or families. In a communication to the "Head of the family," printed to the back of each schedule, Census Director Durand states: In accordance with the act of Congress approved July 2, 1909, the enumeration of the population of the United States will begin on April 15. An enumerator will call at your house, or apartment, for the purpose of obtaining the required information concerning all persons belonging to your household. It is necessary that you should prepare the information in advance of the enumerator's visit. Please, therefore, answer all the questions contained on this advance schedule for each member of your household and preserve it so that it can readily be given and preserve it so can readily be given to the enumerator when he calls. By doing this you will not only aid greatly in the work of securing an accurate enumeration of the population but will probably save yourself much trouble since if you do not do so, a great deal of your time will unavoidably be taken by the enumerator in securing the information he must obtain, and he may have to call on you several times. "This schedule, as filled in by you, should be given to the enumerator when he calls. As he has been given detailed instructions, which it has not been possible to put on this schedule, concerning the exact manner in which each question should be answered, it will be necessary for him to go over the answers with you or with some member of your family for the purpose of making such additions or changes as made by the enumerator on this scheme called for by his instructions. All dule or on his official schedule before such additions and changes should be he leaves the house. The advance schedule, whether filled in by you or You Has In Advance ation Schedule. ENDS INTORDUCING AN IN AKING MEHODS HERE. not, should then, in all cases, be given to the enumerator to be forwarded to Washington with his official schedule upon which the _corrected information for all families in his district has been written. "Read the President's proclamation on the schedule, which emphatically states that you can not possibly be harmed in any way by giving information to the census." Another section of the back page of the schedule is devoted to brief instructions to govern the head of the family in filling the schedule. A third section contains the complete text of the President's census proclamation. The word "family," for census purposes, has a somewhat different application from what it has in popular usage. It means a group of persons living together in the same dwelling place. The persons constituting this group may or may not be related by ties of kinship, but if the live together, forming one household, they are considered as one family. A servant who sleeps in the house or on the premises is to be included with the members of the family for which he or she works. Again, a boarder or lodger is to be included with the members of the family with which he lodges, but a person who boards in one place and lodges or rooms at another will be returned as a member of the family at the place where he lodges or rooms. It is pointed out by the Census Bureau that two or more families may occupy the same dwelling house without living together. If they occupy separate portions of the dwelling house and their housekeeping is entirely separate, they are to be returned as separate families. All the occupants and employees of a hotel, boarding house, or lodging house, if that is their usual place of abode, make up, for census purposes, a single family. But in an apartment or tenement house it is held that there will usually be as many families as there are separate occupied apartments or tenements, even though use may be made of a common cafe or restaurant. The census family may likewise consist of a single person. A clerk in a store who regularly sleeps there is to be returned as a family and the store as his dwelling place. BETTLE CLAIM OF NEGRO WIFE. Beresford Claimant Gets $500,000 and 100,000 Acres of Land. Galveston, Texas, April 9.—Following the sale of part of the estate of the late Lord Delavan Beresford comes the report that the Negro woman who claimed to be his common law wife has received $500,000 and about 100,000 acres of land in Durango in settlement of her claim. Of this 20,000 acres are under cultivation. She owns 1,000 head of cattle. Lord Beresford was killed in a railroad accident over four years ago in Canada. Following a trip to England a year ago, where she attempted to make a settlement of the estate with the brother of the man she claimed as her husband, Lord Charles Beresford of the British navy, the latter came to Mexico and entered suit to oust the woman from the estate. She proved to the court that Lord Delavan Beresford had introduced her as Mrs. Beresford. The portion apid to the Michigan men was the Oltos ranch located near Casa Grandes, and the price authorized by the court was $200,000 in American gold. --- THE BROADAX Will promote and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholics, Protestants, Priests, Inns, Single Taxa, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

In this age of hurry and commercial struggle, with many brilliant achievements of mind and success in material ways, it is not customary to call attention to individual worth or merit, unless that particular person possessed some trait of character worthy of the emulation of all. The announcement that Miss Deborah Della White had passed into the great beyond, came like a tidal wave of sorrow over this great city. To those who knew her personally her life was like a beautiful garden full of sunshine and roses, to know her was to be acquainted with a personality whose guiding spirit was kindness and consideration. No carping criticism, no ungenerous reflections escaped her lips. The path SPRING CLEANING The time for spring cleaning is at hand. During the winter months, dirt and rubbish of every kind accumulates in back yards and alleys so that there are few premises but need a thorough cleaning up. Dirt makes for disease; cleanliness for health. Nothing adds more to the beauty and attractiveness of a neighborhood than clean, tidy, well-kept yards and lawns. It is a good plan to have grass plots and flowers in the front and both flowers and gardens in the back yards. You will be surprised at the quantity of vegetables that can be grown in a bed only a few feet square. Then there is the health side of doing work of this kind for the reason that it is out-door exercise. There is pleasure, too, in cultigating flowers or in tending a small garden; and if your lo is big enough to have both, you will have double pleasure and profit in the work. Another suggestion along the lines of clearing up is this: If you are intending to move this spring, don't move into a dirty house. Insist that before you take possession, it be thoroughly cleaned. In addition to calcimining, as most landlords are willing to do, the wood-work should be washed and the floors thoroughly scrubbed with boiling hot water and soap. This, with a thorough airing out, will make the house safe. Press Service, Department of Health, No. 5. SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. Mrs. Frank W.

C., April 6.—The military court of inquiry, which has been investigating the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, finds the evidence sustains the charge that the shooting was done by soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, Colored. The court also is of the opinion that if the officers had performed their duties prior to the shooting, the affray could not have occurred, and that if they had done so after the shooting, some of the guilty men would have been discovered. Findings of the Court The findings of the court follow: (1) The soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry on the night of Aug. 13-14, 1906, shot into houses of Brownsville, Tex., killing Frank Natus, a citizen, and seriously wounding the lieutenant of police, M. Y. Dominguez. The court is unanimous in its opinion. (2) The court is of the opinion that if the officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates had performed their duties on the evening immediately prior to the shooting affray the affray could not have occurred. Also if immediately after the shooting a careful inspection of every man in the garrison, including his arms, equipment, and ammunition, had been made, as was attempted at daylight, some of the guilty men would have been discovered. (3) A majority of the court finds favorably upon the reinstatement of the following men: Jones A. Coltraue, Edward L. Daniels, Edward Warfield, Lewis J. Baker, Clifford I. Adair, Henry W. Arvin, Calvin Smith, John Smith, Robert Williams, Winter Washington, Elias Gant, John A. Jackson, Samuel E. Scott, and William Van Hook. No Review Now Possible. Brig. Gen. Theodore Schwan does not concur in the second conclusion. Lieut. Gen. Samuel B. M. Young and Maj. Gen. Joseph P. Fanger do not concur in the third conclusion. According to the terms of the act creating the board of inquiry, its findings are final and cannot be reviewed by anyone. Foraker Scores the Report. Cincinnati, O., April 6.—When informed of the verdict of the court of inquiry in the Brownsville case tonight former Senator Foraker said: "I am not surprised by the report, because I have anticipated such a result ever since the court assumed powers that it was not intended by those who enacted the statute under which they have acted to confer. "Such a report is a greater disgrace to the American army than anything charged against this battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry." Howell—Not a very brilliant fellow. Powell N.

"That bull movement in Wall street." —Baltimore American. Cent of Danger. "Where is my money, dear?" said he. "But, tut, said she, "Don't chafe. It's underneath the bathhole, for The eggs are in the safe." —Harrisburg Star-Independent. Discovered at Last. The Little Boy—Mamma, who is Miss Columbia? The Mother—Uncle Sam's affinity. Life. The Mission of the Stick. The use of copers' clubs again In old New York they bang. They find it's bad for honest men, But splendid for the gang. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Once More For Cook. "He was the man of the hour." "Until they stopped his clock."—Kasas City Times. The Royal Box. Every morning of his life Alfonso XIII. has a good rump steak and potatoes for his first breakfast, often preceded by eggs and sometimes followed by salad and fruit. The kaiser from his private purse makes a grant amounting to about $15 on the birth of an eighth son in any family of the same father and mother. The kaiser also promises to stand as godfather to the lucky eighth son. The Princess of Wales has a fan covered with 6,520 woodcock feathers from the wings of 3,260 woodcocks, there being only one feather of the sort in each wing. The Prince of Wales supplied the birds, and the making of the fan occupied one hour a day of a woman's time for more than a year. Train and Track. Narrow gauge trackage is used only for industrial railways at present. In England street car conductors are paid no more than laborers till they have served two years, when they receive the maximum rate of 12 cents an hour. Motormen are paid a shade more. The famous engine No. 999, which used to haul the Empire State express when it became known as the fastest train in the world, now occasionally does the ignoble work of hauling a freight train on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg division of the New York Central railroad. If the earth did not rotate no water could be got to flow away from the pole. But the centrifugal force of rotation allows this to happen. - Breathing of Insects. Insects generally breathe through special pores in various parts of their bodies, and if these pores are closed by oil they are suffocated. Any one may test this by dropping sweet oil on the thorax or back of a wasp. It very soon dies. For this reason oil has been found one of the best things to use for the destruction of insects. Turkey Red. Turkey red is made from the madder plant, which grows in India. British Columbia Indians. The redskin of British Columbia is a good farmer, and his house is scrupulously clean. Usually it consists of two or three rooms and cellar, where supplies are kept. Mosquitos of India. The mosquitos of India have great fun with the bicyclists. They not only lance the riders, but actually puncture the bicycle tires. Flat Noses Considered Beautiful. In ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown, but the Sumatran mother carefully flattens the nose of her daughter. Among some of the savage tribes continual pressure is applied to the skull in order to flatten it and thus give it a new beauty. hy EE ee aceeaantide pens SS 8 + - ‘ ‘ EXotel Brunswick | Geo.

At Columbia, Mo. on the univbrsity campus, is the only monument to Thomas Jefferson on the Louisiana purchase. It is very simple and was designed by Jefferson himself for his grave at Monticello. The imscription is from papers found among Jeffer- son's belongings after his death. Women Plan to Erect Public Hell. It is gratifying to note the success of the Moorman-Harper company i Brooklyn, which has for its object the erection of a modern hall in which the many secret and benevolent socie- ties among our people may hold thelr business meetings and also their pub- ec entertainments. No more worthy enterprise than this which the women are pushing forward could be under taken for the good of the race.
