The Afro-Americans Are Urged Not To Become THE TOOLS OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY AND VOTE BLINDLY ON VITAL ISSUES. THEY ARE ADMONISHED TO REFRAIN FROM SELLING THEIR VOTES FOR A LITTLE POCKET CHANGE AND CHEAP WHISKY. A TIMELY AND INTERESTING ARTICLE BY JOHN T. CAMPBELL. Vol. XV The Afro-America Are Un THE TOOLS OF ANY POLITICAL P VITAL ISSUES. THEY ARE ADMONISHED TO R VOTES FOR A LITTLE POCKET A TIMELY AND INTERESTING ART Soldiers' Home, La Fayette, Ind. June 4, 1910 Julius F. Taylor, Chicago, Editor The Broad Ax: I am greatly concerned about the near future of the Negro race in the United States. It seems to me that some cord or brace is bound to break at no distant day. The Whites and Blacks are clearly further apart than They were twenty years ago. The Republicans under such presidents as Roosevelt and Taft are leaning farther and farther from the support and encouragement of the Negro. I look to see the republican party take a stronger stand against the Negro in five years than did the democrats during and after the civil war. I have tried to advocate giving the Negroes land in the black belt in the South, the land to be held by the U. S. Government to prevent hostile state legislation, but I can't get any republican senator or representative to introduce a bill which I have drown, not even to introduce it as by request of a citizen. What is still more discouraging, I have been unable to find any prominent Negro that will take the risk of endorsing it. Senator Foraker is the last prominent republican to take up the cause of the Negro, and demand justice for him. He is likely to remain the last. The Negroes did show a marked disposition to follow his lead. But he being a candidate for the republican nomination for president, of course had to agree to ablide the action of the convention. The convention decided to turn him down. Therefore he was bound to urge all Negroes to vote for Taft, who cares nothing for them. The republicans are even now, far more ready to hob nob with the rebels who fought against us, than with the Negroes who fought for us. The Negroes, if they are going to maintain the ground they have gained, will have to learn, and be quick about it too, that they must play their vote as a trump card. They should play it so the republican party will think it worth while to ask what the Negroes want. Who will think GET OUT OF DOORS For six months the winter weather has kept people in doors most of the time, nine-tenths of the people have been breathing bad air. It has been dusty or contained germs or been filled with the smoke of human fires, or been too hot or to cold or too dry, or all of these combined. Thousands of people have breathed this air and gotten pneumonia and died; other thousands have breathed it in and gotten colds and grips and coughs, other thousands have gotten consumption. Most of these are in the early stages and probably do not yet know that anything is the matter with them. Thank Heaven! Hundreds of them will get well of their consumption without ever knowing that they have had it. If they will just stay out of doors as much as possible. The coughs and colds that are hanging on will fade away when the people get out in the air and sunlight among the trees and flowers. Where the streets or alleys are asphalted or the sidewalks are good, the children should put on roller skates. There is no reason why the --- HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX of buying what is all the time offered as a gift. I don't mean the sale of votes for a little pocket change, but to demand that a desired principle be carried out. If neither party will promise to give justice to the Negroes, let the Negroes go to the polls and vote blanks. These blanks "belong counted and published" will cause the beaten party to wish they had looked after the blank vote. It will cause the winning party to take notice that this blank vote is worth looking after, as is may go next time where it will tell. In the last presidential election, some politicians were anxious to know how the Negro vote of Indianapolis would go. The local republican managers replied—"Don't worry about the "Nigger" vote. We'll fix them a day or so before the election." And they did. They voted like sheep jumping a fence. The opposite party had been feeling for that vote, but a little pocket change and a few drinks settled the matter. A vote that can be bought so cheap as that will never be granted a principle for its help. There were some intelligent Negroes who knew better, but the managers missed the ignorant Negroes on them like so many pest dogs and broke them down. If the Negroes generally can't see the drift which is so plain today, they will see it and feel it too, after it is too late to correct their stupidity. It is a puzzle to me, why it was that the ignorant Negroes of Hayti and San Domingo, did such wonderful work in 1790 and following, while the Negroes of the United States, having far better opportunities, make such weak showing in creating and occupying a commanding position. The Negroes and the Irish are inclined to run after the dominant race too much. The Irish, being white are not handicapped on account of color, but beyond that, they are little if any ahead of the Negroes in forwarding their race standing. The Germans will stand by Germans, patronize Germans, vote for Germans. Can't the Negroes see anything? John T. Campbell. grown, folks should not roll too. The man may think his muscles are all tired out; certain of them are, but those are not the ones which are used in roller skating. The marble season is at hand. To get a good dry place and play marbles is good for the health. It means muscle training, skill, competition, open-air comradeship, all making for happiness and good citizenship. Every lot and every quiet block with streets infrequently used by teams should have its ball game; and every park and square should have several. On Sundays and holidays the father should go with his family to the parks or fields and spend the day. It is good for him, his wife and his children. The mother has been working hard all week. Gather them all up on Sunday and have a German family picnic in Lincoln Park or Humboldt or somewhere else. A little later when the ground is dry, take a street car and go with the family to the country and eat your lunch among the flowers and trees. When your Union or your Society, your Lodge or your Church, has a picnic, go to it and take your wife and children. GET OUT OF DOORS. CHICAGO, JUNE 11. 1910. [Name not visible] President of the Choral Study Club, of Chicago, which will render Frederic Cowen's celebrated and beautiful musical pastoral, "The Rose Maiden" at the Institutional Church. 3825 Dearborn street, Monday evening, June 13. On Monday evening, June 13th, at 8:15 o'clock at the Institutional church, 3825 Dearborn street. The Choral Study Club will give its third concert of the season 1909 and 1910, rendering Frederic Cowen's celebrated and beautiful musical pastoral "The Rose Maiden." The Choral Study Club, was organized in 1901 and this will be its 30th concert. Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley, is its director. The club has more than 60 members, and those attending the concert Monday evening, will be charmed by the singing of the four notable and leading soloists. Mrs. Martha Broadus-Anderson, Soprano; Mrs. Della Ridgeway-Brown, contralto; Mr. William H. Hackney, tenor, and Mr. T. Theodore Taylor, baritone. General admission will be 35 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents. Mr. J. Gray Lucas, President and Lewis W. Cummins, Secretary. The Choral Study Club, has since its existence, more than done its share in stimulating refined and classical music into the minds of the Afro-Americans and it is highly deserving of greater financial support from the wealthy and well to do class of Colored people in this city, who spend considerable money for ragtime music and other toom-foolry. "PONY" MOORE STRICKEN; DEATH EXPECTED SOON. One-Time Negro King of Gamblers Suffer From Paralysis—Cannot Recover, Say Doctors. "Pony" Moore, to use an expression of the fraternity of which he for many years was the leader in Chicago, is about to "cash in." The one-time Negro king of the gamblers is at the Provident Hospital, where since last Saturday morning he has been unconscious from the effects of a paralytic stroke he suffered at his place of business. Physicians say he cannot recover. His death, which is expected hourly, will mark the passing of one of the best known characters of the old-time levee. For the last five years he has lived in what was practically obscurity in comparison with his once great prominence in the "red light district." "Pony," which sobriquet is merely a corruption of his real name, Poney W. Moore, came to Chicago, about twenty-five years ago from Dallas, Texas, and for several years was merely a common gambler among the horde of others which infested the old Harrison street district. About the time the "lid" was removed in preparation for the world's fair a long run of good luck had placed him in a position to go into business for himself, and he opened the "Turf" saloon and gambling-house at 2126 State street. That venture was a money-maker from the start, and after amassing a comfortable fortune he leased the property on Twenty-first St., between State and Dearborn St., and fitted it out lavishly as a hotel. His earnings from the habitues of the district were large and he also ran a gambling house in the alley in the rear, which was known as "Dearborn court." In the hey-day of his prosperity a succession of brawls and other disorders in his hotel put him "in bad" with the administration, and his license was revoked by Mayor Dunne. He then bought the Palace Theater at 41 West Thirty-first street, and has been running it, in connection with a saloon, since that time.—From the Chicago Record-Herald. At the present writing Mr. Moore is still hovering between life and death and his doctors say that "he is liable to pass away at any hour or minute. THE KENTUCKY CLUB, UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF WILLIAM THOMAS. IS RUNNING AT FULL BLAST. The Kentucky Club, 2260 State street, up stairs, phone Calumet 3527, under the management of William Thomas, who is quite popular with a large class of theatrical people and who is proving himself to be a wide-awake up-to-date business man, is running at full blast and it has never closed down for one hour, from the time it threw its doors open last summer, down to the present. The dinners which are served for 50 cents each, Sunday, at the Kentucky Club, cannot be surpassed in the city, and last Sunday, more than 300 guests crowded into its parlor dining rooms, and partook of the sumptuous dinner while listening to the latest and most popular music from the orchestra. Millions Educated On Consumption. One-Eight of Churchgoers heard Health Gospel on Tuberculosis Sunday. Over 4,000,000 churchgoers. nearly 40,000 sermons and preachers, and more than 1,250,000 pieces of literature, are some of the totals given in a preliminary report issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, of the results of the first National Tuberculosis Sunday ever held, on April 24th. The report states that fully one eighth of the 33,000,000 listed communicants of the churches of the United States heard the gospel of health on Tuberculosis Sunday. and that the number of people who were reached by notices and sermons printed in the newspapers will aggregate 25,000,000. Hardly a paper in the country failed to announce the occasion. From clipping returns received at the National Association's headquarters, it is estimated that fully 20,000 newspapers, magazines, religious and technical journals gave publicity to this national event.

She was preceded by little Miss Marvel Clinkscale, who acted as the ring bearer. Rev. W. S. Braddan pastor of Berean Baptist Church, performed the ceremony. About 150 guests and friends of the contracting parties attended the reception which followed and enjoyed the wedding supper. Among the many guests were: Mr and Mrs. O. P.

They leave this evening for their future home in Madison, Wis., and as the bride was raised up from a little girl in the neighborhood of her wedding and was much beloved by all who knew her. Therefore, she carries with her to her new home, the best wishes of those who have seen her bloom into womanhood and it is needless to say that they sincerely wish her a great abundance of happiness, throughout her married life. CRUM IS SENT TO LIBERIA Washington, D. C.—President Taft has nominated William D. Crum of South Carolina to be Minister resident and Consul General at Monrovia, Liberia. Crum is the Negro whose appointment by Mr. Roosevelt as collector of the port at Charleston, S. C., raised such a storm of protest in the South. And President Taft, forced him out of office in order to make room for a white Democrat, and now the President applauds him to take the place of another Colored man as Minister to Liberia, causing the Negro Republicans to control one less political appointment. ated in Consumption. ers heard Health Gospel osis Sunday. ance on the part of the press, the National Association desires to ex- press its thanks. Although the movement for Tuberculosis Sunday was handicapped by a lack of time and funds, the National Association feels that the campaign has been worth while. Many foreign countries observed the day also. Plans are now under way for a wider observance of the day in 1911. The active co-operation of every religious denomination, besides that of the governors, mayors and public officials, as well as that of other agencies will be sought. The promoters of this movement announce that they do not wish to interfere with the church calendar of any denomination. It is not planned to have a special Tuberculosis Sunday as a regular church day. The plan is to have the subject of health, and particularly tuberculosis, brought up in the churches for any service or part of a service and as nearly simultaneously in all parts of the country as possible.

MR. NOAH D. THOMPSON. On visiting Tuskegee, one must consider himself unfortunate if he does not meet Mr. Noah D. Thompson, an important and confidential man in the Administration Building. By those who have known him for many years, he is said to be a man of unusual ability. He is polite and approachable and should be of great service to the Institution. He comes to Tuskegee from Chicago. He will find an intelligent, vigorous Colored citizenry in Alabama and wherever he travels in the State they will show him the greatest courtesies—The Colored Alabaman, Montgomery, Ala.

C., June 9.--Among the guests at the wedding of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. and Miss Alexander in New York on June 20, will be several of the Negro servants of the family, who were with them in the White House. Invitations to the ceremony have been received by practically all those who were part of the White House establishment at the time Mr. Roosevelt reallinquished the presidential chair. The fact that many of the servants were Negroes apparently has made no difference in the issuing of invitations for the marriage of "Mr. Ted." Charles Reeder, footman on the White House carriage in the former administration, has signified his intention of being present. Wilson Jackson, a household messenger for the family, and Henry Pinckney, also a member of the Roosevelt establishment, have received invitations and are anxious to go to the wedding. Frank H.

VAN DORN WINS HIS CASE. Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinall of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Van Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1866. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselya. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one told him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land: but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged. ODD FELLOWS' ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE. Brooklyn Lodges of Time Honored Secret Order With Households and Juveniles Turn Out En Masse. The most highly interesting event in secret society circles in Brooklyn was the recent observance of the sixty-seventh annual thanksgiving service of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The exercises were held in the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zlon church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor. The lodges represented were: Alpha, No. 1381; Morning Star, No. 1470; Mount Zlon, No. 1670; Cherubim, No. 6571, and Alvin, No. 7888. Households present were: Victoria, Olga, Mara and Queen Esther. The children were seated with the past grand masters' council, patriarchs and other high officials. The scene was a beautiful one to look upon as lodge after lodge marched into the auditorium of the church in full swing. The sermon was delivered by Dr. A. A. Crooke, whose subject was "The Significance of Thanksgiving." The discourse stirred the members to a degree of approval seldom witnessed on such occasions. It was forceful, logical and full of good advice.

The craze for automobile and taxi cab riding, fine clothing and a host of other useless extravagances is keeping the colored man back, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. Why not imitate the foreigner who before he learns to speak the English language launches out in some kind of business—bootblack stand, pushchair, fruit stand or something equally humble—and in a few years becomes independently rich and in this manner helps to make a place in the world of affairs for their people. Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases.
