THE BROAD AX Congressman William Sulzer Wins His Long and Persistent Fight. IN FAVOR OF RAISING THE BATTLESHIP MAINE, WHICH WILL INSURE A DECENT BURIAL FOR THE Sixty HEROES WHO HAVE BEEN LYING AT THE BOTTOM OF HAVANA HARBOR FOR TEN YEARS. MANY OF THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND PROMINENT POLITICIANS ARE BOOMING HIM FOR GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE. Vol. XV Congressman Sulzer Wint and Pe IN FAVOR OF RAISING THE BATT SURE A DECENT BURIAL FOR BEEN LYING AT THE BOTTOM YEARS. MANY OF THE LEADING NEWSPAP OF NEW YORK AND PROMI HIM FOR GOVERNOR OF THE After a battle lasting more than ten years, Congressman William Sulzer, has succeeded in inducing Congress to pass a bill to raise the Battleship Maine, and to give the bodies of the sixty-odd men imprisoned in the wrecked ship since 1898, the burial to which these heroes are entitled. Mr. Sulzer's fight for decent treatment for our sailors has been a remarkable one, inasmuch as he has had arrayed against him the tremendous influence of the Navy Department, which dreaded the raising of the Maine for fear that the exposed hulk would show that the explosion which wrecked her in Havana harbor and which caused the Spanish war, was due to internal causes, and not to the explosion of a Spanish mine. The success which has at last crowned Mr. Sulzer's efforts is due entirely to his pertinacity and perseverance, qualities pre-eminent in his character. To those who have followed his career, it is a well-known fact that when Congressman Sulzer makes up his mind that he is right, he will go ahead, no matter what the world may think, or what opposition he may meet. Not that he is headstrong or rushes headlong into a fight. He is a thinker with a conscience whose every act is based upon the one proposition, "Am I right?" When once assured of this fact, he battles for the cause for which he is fighting until success crowns his efforts. Congressman Sulzer, has made a lasting name for himself in the hearts of the American people, and on the pages of the history of this great nation by his hard and persistent labor in this respect. His long and honorable career in congress and his manly fight at all times for right and justice has so endeared him into the minds and we might say hearts, of all the people in New York City, and throughout that state, that many of its leading newspapers and prominent politicians are booming him for governor of the great Empire State. In speaking of his pre-eminent ability and his steadfast purpose to adhere to the right, though the heavens fall, The Industrial News, of Greater Manhattan, has this to say in favor of his candidacy for governor. "From many newspapers and from many prominent Democrats in many sections of the State we hear expressions of the most positive and decisive character favoring the selection of Congressman Wm. Sulzer as the Democratic nominee for Governor to lead the party to success in the Empire State this year. Mr. Sulzer is the one man whose name has been suggested for Governor who has the confidence and the cordial good will of all elements of the Democratic party in all sections of the State. The business man, the workingmen and the farmers are alike earnest in their conviction that Congressman Sulzer, better than any other man in the party, can lead the Democratic hosts to victory and give the people of the State of New York a four years thoroughly honest, economical and progressive administration; something which, judging by the scandalous revelations now daily being made at Albany, they have not enjoyed during the past sixteen years of Republican rule. The Industrial News knows the sentiment of the people of the State, and especially the sentiments of the masses of the working men, and we know that they feel that of all the men in public life in New York today, not one has such a splendid record of unswerving devotion and faithful service to the best interests of the men and women of toil. At the present time three of the most important measures in the interest of labor pending in Congress are the Department of Labor bill, the Eight Hour bill and the Department of Transportation bill, all introduced by Mr. Sulzer. And in the past as in the present, during all his twenty-one years in public life, Mr. Sulzer has worked with ability, loyalty and energy for every measure in the interest of the working masses. It is no wonder then that their good will toward him is enthusiastic and unanimous. With Congressman Sulzer as the standard bearer this fall the vote of the laboring people for the Democratic ticket would be so unanimous that it would produce a political land slide which would place the Empire State once more solidly in the Democratic column. In thirteen successive campaigns, Congressman Sulzer has won an unbroken line of victories, and the voters would feel that with him as a candidate another and still greater success would be assured." It will be recalled that without expecting to receive any reward here on this earth or glory in the next world, Congressman Sulzer, like a golden knight of olden times, heroically stood by Senator J. B. Foraker, in his memorable fight in behalf of the members of the 25th Regiment, who were dishonorably discharged by President Roosevelt, and forever, debarred from holding any civil office whatever, under the federal government, and his eloquent oration in the halls of Congress in favor of restoring the members of that Regiment to their rightful position in the army, raised him very high in the estimation of the Afro-Americans, throughout the United States, and they would be delighted to see him become governor of the great State of New York, for they feel that as such he would give each and everyone of its citizens, a square deal! TREE PLANTING The Health Department is interested in seeing the people plant trees, shrubs, grass and flowers wherever they can be made to grow. God has made it so that there must be some balance between animal and vegetable life. Vegetable life is required to make the soil and air fit for animal life, and vegetable life also must have animal life to supply it with things which it needs. In Chicago we have two and a quarter million people, 77,000 horses, a few thousand cows, many thousand dogs and cats, and many other kinds of animals. We are lacking in trees, bushes and grass. CHICAGO, MAY 14, 1910. 9 There are parks where the people can go and breathe the air made good by the trees and flowers. But what we need are trees and grass where we can breathe the air which they purify at some time during each day. This need is not felt by the people who live on the prairies of the eighth, thirty-third, fifth, thirty-fifth and twenty-seventh wards, or by the people who live near the parks, or parkways. It is felt by the people who live crowded together. The City Forester and the Street Department are working together to get trees planted. Write J. H. Prost, City Forester, City Hall, and he will tell you what trees, shrubs and grasses grow best and how to grow them. WHITE MAN WEDS COLORED GIRL IN NEW YORK STATE. George A. Fleishman, a prosperous farmer near Fulton, N. Y., took out a license last Wednesday, to marry his housekeeper, Mrs. Minnie Coleman, a comely Coloried widow, but every clergyman in and around Fulton refused to perform the ceremony says the New York World. Then Mr. Fleishman, who is thirty nine years old, and Mrs. Coleman twenty-five, trolledley to Syracuse and were married by the Rev. E. S. Bailey pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Mrs. Coleman was stylishly dressed in a dark blue suit and a flat brimmed straw hat trimmed with flower. Our soil is poor and will therefore need a good deal of stable manure before the vegetation is started. This must be repeated from year to year. It will do no good to place the manure on the top of the ground and leave it there. It must be spaded or turned under with some other garden tool. Very little water stays in the soil above the sewer line. Therefore, waste water and water from sprinklers must be used. This serves a double purpose, for in the very dirty air of a city like ours, the dirt which gets on the leaves will stop their pores and kill most of the vegetation. Trees and shrubs should be washed well with the hose during dry spells; as a good rain is a world beater as a leaf washer. If you keep your trees clean, watered and fertilized and still they die, you had better take your children out of that neighborhood. Air which is so foul that it kills trees will kill people. We talk much about the fouling of air inside the house,—the necessity for good ventilation in the rooms where we live or work. Let us begin by trying to get clean outside air. Trees, shrubs, grass and flowers help. Some trees which grow on Chicago soil are maples, willows, poplars, cottonwood, elms, catalpas, asbs and mulberry. Shrubs are: Rose of Sharon, cranberry, current, sumach, elder, snowberries and privet. Flowers are: Sunflower, poppy, larkspur, daisy, hollyhocks, golden glow and peonies. Vines are: Honeysuckle, scarlet runner, Virginia creeper and Ivy. Grasses: Blue grass, orchard grass and clover. Mrs. George W. Holt, 2004 State street, left Monday morning for the Mossdale farm, near Niles, Mich., where she will spend three weeks for the benefit of her health. WHITE MAN WEDS COLORED GIRL IN NEW YORK STATE.

Mrs. Coleman was stylishly dressed in a dark blue suit and a flat brimmed straw hat trimmed with flowers and foliage. The Rev. John G. Cornwall, pastor of the Fulton Methodist Episcopal Church, who was first applied to, said to Fleishman. "You are a white man. Have you no Colored blood?" "I'm all white," replied Fleishman. "I won't marry a white man to a Negro woman, said Mr. Cornwall. "I don't want you to think, Madam," he added, turning to the woman, "that this refusal is due to any prejudice against your race. I am a Southerner, and Southerners feel more kindly and affectionate toward Colored people than most Northerners do, but I could not countenance any such marriage as this.

The Duty Some Mothers Neglect. THEY PERMIT THEIR CHILDREN TO DO AS THEY PLEASE AND THE RESULT IS THAT THE PENAL INSTITUTIONS IN ALL PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY ARE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH BAD AND UNRULLY CHILDREN. AN ABLE AND TIMELY ARTICLE BY ELLA WHEELEER WILCOX. Copyright, 1910, by American, Jour- to some one to call upon the Society, and S. E. and L. A. Examiner for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. mal and S. F. and L. A. Examiner. Here are some incidents which should cause every woman who thinks she is a good mother to pause and ask herself just what she is doing toward making her own like these boys. Our streets, in every American town, abound with such children, and many of them are sons of well-to-do people who pride themselves on being the "best families" in town. The extracts are from exchanges: "This Summer some boys in Boston amused themselves by pushing a dog into the water. The dog was not a water dog and he showed that he did not like this treatment. After being forced into the water he came out and gave a warning growl to tell the boys to let him alone, but some boys enjoy themselves the most when they are making another living creature miserable; so they continued to tease the dog until he flew at one of his tormentors. "The boy became frightened then—such boys are always cowards at heart—and he ran. Of course, the dog chased him. Dogs are very apt to chase a child who runs, though often it is in play, but this dog was angry because of the cruel treatment he had received, and he bit the boy in the leg. The Coward's Punishment. "The coward, who had the tables turned on him so unexpectedly, screamed, and other boys came running up. One boy had a boathook, which he broke over the head of the dog, who was trying to defend himself. The dog, severely hurt, got away. "The boy was taken; to a hospital near by, and it is to be hoped that some of his elders had the good sense to tell him it served him right for teasing and tormenting the animal who, he thought, would not try to defend himself." Here is another from the City of Brotherly Love: "A crowd of idle and mischievous boys in Philadelphia, out Kensington way, saw a homeless shepherd dog wandering frightened and bewildered on the street. The shepherd dog is a noble and useful animal; it is doubtful if there was a boy in the crowd who was as careful and faithful to duty, as this poor, lost dog, but that made no difference to the crowd of little savages. Were Utterly Without Pity. "They chased the poor dog, stoned him, and those boys who got near enough to him even kicked him. They were utterly without pity, and the poor creature, nearly in a fit with fright, flew into a hole under a pile of heavy beams of timber, where he tried to hide from his persecutors. "The beams were so loosely piled that they fell, enclosing the unfortunate dog in a strong cage he could not get out of. Then some of the boys began to feel ashamed of what they had done and ran away. "Night and a pouring rain came on, No one could lift the beams and the dog's howls disturbed the neighborhood. "The next day some of the boys who had driven the dog into this cage and a few men gathered around the imprisoned dog. They punched food in the pile as far as they could. How much better if they had never driven him there! At last it occurred me thers Neglect. TO DO AS THEY PLEASE AND THE PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY BAD AND UNRULLY CHILDREN. BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. to some one to call upon the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for help, and through the society the dog was at last liberated. "Why cannot teachers, parents— yes, and ministers—do more to educate the children that there is no sport in cruelty?" A Story of the Cruel Sultan. A correspondent of the London Mail, speaking of the deposed Sultan Abdul Hamid, now in confinement, gives a list of his different crimes, or those he was supposed to have committed, such as the poisoning of Mishat Pasha, the father of the ill-starred Turkish constitution of thirty years ago, and exiled after the failure of that attempt, and says: "It is reported that as a young man Abdul Hamid was wont to maltreat small animals, with the sole object of seeing them suffer. This trait would seem to have developed in later years into a total lack of sympathy and consideration for those about him." This agrees with what we have so often noticed, that many great criminals who have died upon the scaffold as murders have been noted in their youth for cruelty to animals. Wherever you see a cruel boy or man, you may be sure that he lacked the training of a good mother. She may have been a chaste and charitable woman, but she was not a good mother. Good mothers are rare things in this world. To be a good mother necessitates a vast amount of patience, and the sacrifice of many pleasures and distractions, and the close, careful study of the children she brings into the world. It means talking with these children day after day, hour after hour, in a way that interests them, and wins their attention. It means dropping little seeds of thought into the soil of their minds after it has been prepared by this sympathetic education. Neglected Her Duty. A woman, generally called a good mother, remarked that she could not keep a pet dog or cat because her little boy hauled it around and made it so miserable that she was afraid it might become dangerous. It never occurred to her that her duty was neglected in not making her child understand the right of an animal to good treatment; in not awakening the humane and protective impulse in the child. It is easily done, if the mother cares enough about her offspring, or about animals, to give the matter attention. There lives a woman in Boston, named Mrs. Huntington Smith, who is doing more for the growing generation of boys and girls than any hundred mothers selected from the best society of any American city. It is her life work to make children realize the nobility of being protectors and defenders of the weaker things of earth. She has formed societies and leagues of "Animal Defenders," and made boys proud to set as First Aid to the suffering cat or dog in the street; and it may be safely said that no boy who comes under this good woman's influence will ever develop into a criminal.

Darrow, the Socialist iawyer of Chica go, in an address tonight at the sec ond annual conference of the national Negro committee, in Cooper union, ‘wiped out the color line and urged race amalgamation as the solution of the race problem. He criticised Book er T.

Not a Question of Color? “It ts not the color which causes the distinction between the Negroes and the white people. The real bar rier is the fact that Negroes were once slaves and that today they are in the ranks of labor. It is a labor question rather than a race problem, and the way for the Negro to obtain recogni- tion is to cast his lot boldly with the poor and fight with them and for them. The cause of the poor is his cause—and his ¢ause is theirs.” Booker T.

A kind of seaweed which is plentiful on the coast of China furnishes an admirable glue and varnish. When dried it is waterproof, and it is employed to fill up the interstices in bamboo network, of which windows are frequently constructed in that country. It is also utilized to strengthen and varnish paper lanterns. Drinking Water The average amount of water that should be taken daily is from two to four pints, or from four to eight glasses. More water should be drunk in hot weather than in cold. Fire Escapes. Fire escapes were first made in Paris in 1761. Postage Stamps The inventor of the adhesive postage stamp was undoubtedly Rowland Hill, an Englishman, in 1837 he proposed the use of "a bit of paper just large enough to bear the stamp and covered at the back with a glutinous wash, which the buyer might by the application of a little moisture attach to the back of the letter." A Born Leader. "He's born to be a leader," his parents fondly said As proudly they beheld him upon his downy bed. "See how his forehead bulges!" exclaimed his doting dad. "His jaw is shaped exactly like that Napoleon had." "He's born to be a leader," they said with honest joy That time he bossed the household while he was yet a boy. And they were right in thinking him sent him to the land of the band. He has become a leader—he leads a village band. —Chicago Record-Herald. More "Hand-me-downs."

Past Errors Should Not Overtop Moral Victory of Union Army. Why is it that the people of the south refuse to abandon the pernicious principles that almost wrecked the American Union in 1861? And why is it that a great many people in the north encourage them to perpetuate those principles? It is idle and foolish to say that the men who fought to maintain slavery and wreck a nation believed that they were right. They knew that they were wrong, and any statement to the contrary is an insult to their intelligence. All over the south and in some places in the north there are organizations in existence that have no other motive than extolling the treason of 1861. Worst of all, many public speakers of prominence have so far forgotten themselves as to laud the disloyalty of such characters as Jeff Davis, The blue and the gray are referred to in equal terms of praise when as a matter of fact they should never be mentioned in the same breath. Is there any equality between George Washington and Benedict Arnold? There is no doubt that any praise of the latter would bring forth a volley of criticism, and it is certain that he will never be set up as an example for the guidance of American youth. The tendency to encourage the perpetuation of principles that are known to be wrong is only delaying the consummation of real democracy in America. However desirable it may be to win the good will of the south, this should not be accomplished by praising the southern people for their past errors. If a maudlin sentiment for disloyalty is to be allowed to discount the great moral victory of the Union army we may well stop and wonder why so much blood was spilled in vain.—Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard. No Foreign Racial Alliances Wanted. "Bruce Grit" thinks that it would be a wise thing for Afro-Americans to fuse politically with some of the foreign elements in the United States. He mentions the Irish and Italians and says that the experiment is worth making. We do not believe so. The foreign element in this country has just as strong prejudice against our people as the native born white man who is not willing to concede that the Negro as a citizen has rights which white men should respect. We want no foreign racial alliances in this respect. Young Men Should Heed This Advice. Editor Sol C. Johnson of the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune hews close to the line. He wisely asks: "Why rent a home in a crowded neighborhood when with a small payment down and the same amount possibly that you are paying in rent could be bought a home of your own in a less crowded neighborhood? Let our young men consider this and act for their good and the good of their children." Getting Ready Jones (at the telephone)—Hello, Mary; I just called you up to say that as soon as I get home I'm going to discharge that cook. She's no good. Mrs. Jones—All right. John.

Dared face the grim necessity and brave the blood and fire. He looked upon the future and saw in light outspread To his enchanted vision a narrow path that led Up jagged steeps of progress to still and snow pure heights, Whence world enlightening liberty flashed down her thousand lights. His hand dealt destruction, but his soul yearned to save. And this is why I pause today At John Brown's grave. When coward silence sat enthroned on civic power's lip. Whilst coward strength forged fetters and cracked the tyrant's whip. When justice was a bigot's jest and liberty a lie And strong men in high places sat calm and heedless by. Then up rose one among them, the lowest of them all. Who struck one blow for brotherhood, well knowing he must fall. Though worthy of a soldier's death, he perished as a knave. And this is why I weep today At John Brown's grave. JOHN BROWN'S PORT. He was the first to perish, but ere his bones were dust The blossoms blushing from his tomb proclaimed his calling just. You seered at him. O brothers, with the brand upon his brow. But ye may not think upon him save in silent reverence now. For ye know his name is Hero where Columbia's colors wave. And this is why I thrill today At John Brown's grave. There have been men triumphant and powerful in life Whose days were passed in peaceful ways and ended not in strife. and does not in staircase. There have been mighty warriors in early times and life, and whose deeds were bright with glory and whose deaths convulsed the state. There have been blessed martyrs whose memory is dear. But who of all the number died like him beneath me here? I liken him to One alone, the first who died to save, And this is why I kneel today At John Brown's grave. MR. GORDON'S MANLY PLEA. Stand Up, Show Your Willingness to Help Your Own, He Says. In an address at the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, upon the occasion of the annual visit of the officials and a group of children from the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum in the latter part of December the Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the asylum, sald: "There are some of our churches so narrow that they won't let us in because their denomination does not run the institution. We have had a great struggle this year. Out of the 1,400 children who have passed through the institution in the past twelve years only six have died. Some of these people who come up to the asylum in their automobiles find all sorts of fault, and I believe it is just because it is a Negro institution. Stand on your feet, make sacrifices and let these white people see that you appreciate your own and are willing to help them. These children have raised $5,500 worth of stuff on the farm this year. We have 6 horses, 40 hogs, 175 fowls and 22 head of cattle. We have raised 2,250 bushels of potatoes, 9,000 cabbages, 1,200 bushels of turnips and beetens. You can see that these children are well fed. They get more than bread. "What we want to do is to build a mighty industrial school at St. James, N. Y., where we can shelter 2,000 wafts from the streets and give them various trades and means of living." @ 828.62 was taken up. ENCOURAGE HONEST LABOR. Make Room For Our Industrious Young Men and Women. In its Christmas number the Dallas (Tex.) Express calls attention to the following facts—viz: We need the organization of industries which offer employment to our enlightened youth to the end that we shall not become altogether a race of "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Honest labor, however humble, should at all times and under all circumstances be encouraged, but the Negro must learn that his calling or occupation to make his election sure must take on certain elements of importance which, while affecting the general weal, must appeal to and interest the intelligence of the land. The time is ripe. The noon of this day is here. Let us rise and shine. Sons of Virginia Install Officers. The annual installation of officers of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, recently held in Brooklyn, was largely attended by the members and friends of the organization. The report of the treasurer, Graham H. Carter, showed that the society was in splendid condition both in numbers and finance, the cash balance in bank being $2,956.75. The annual address was delivered by 3x-President N. B. Dodson, whose subject was "A Short Review of the Year." The officers were installed by the Rev. W. R. Lawton.
