The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The Honorable Neighbor Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris Former High Attorney for"The Gamblers Trust" and Little Lawyer Martin Isaac were Forced to Mount the Witness Stands in Judges William W. Maxwell, Ben M. Smith and M. F. Girten's Courts in Order to bolster up Their Side of the Law Suits. The Ex-Honorable Gambler's Lawyer was Patted on the Back by Judge Smith for His Skillful Lying on the Witness Stand, and the Honorable Hezekiah Brown Morris wanted Judge Girten to Fine a Colored Man for Daring to Talk Back to Him While the Honorable Court was in Session. Vol. XV The Honorable Edward H. Morris Former High Attorney and Little Law Forced to Mount Judges William Smith and M. F. to bolster up The The Ex-Honorable Gambler's Back by Judge Smith Witness Stand, and Brown Morris wanted ored Man for Daring the Honorable Court There is an old saying that "Birds of the same Feathers will always flock together" and so on, this is true broadly speaking in relation to the honorable 'neighbor, Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris, for it is freely admitted by himself and his friends that for a long time he was the chief Attorney for the "Gambler's Trust" and being "money mad as it were," seemingly he was always willing to rush to the defense of the very worst rascals and scoundrels among the sporting element in this city, as long as he received the money for his labor, and some say that the Honorable Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris, honestly thought that "the gamblers or the sporting element should run everything in this city with a high hand and that they were much better in every way than the man who worked hard for an honest living. At the present time and for some time past the former high attorney for the "Gambler's Trust" and little attorney Martin Isaac, have represented several of the slickest liars and gamblers in town—one or two having made much of their money in running fancy sporting houses at the same time being honorable members of a swell social club, which is located on Michigan Ave., near Monroe street, and this club is only conducted for high toned white gentlemen—in a long drawn out law suit, and when one part of the case came up in Judge William W. Maxwell's court, the honorable neighbor Edward, Hezekiah Brown Morris and little Martin Isaac, were forced to mount the witness stand and it was indeed a very sickening sight to behold those two so-called able lawyers, or liars, sitting on the witness stand and lying to beat the band, the neighbor grew, white in the face and not brown, while endowing to shy away from the truth and little Martin whose cracked voice to us sounds like a fog horn, turned real black in the SOME HOT WEATHER HINTS. It pays to keep clean all the time; but it is of especial importance during the hot weather months. How about the back yard? Is it clean and tidy and free from material that breeds files and disease? The fly season is here. If you have not yet put in your screens, do it at once. Files are dangerous. Keep them out of the house at any cost. Hot weather is hard on the babies for the reason that unless great care is taken, the food becomes bad and bad food kills the babies. So, indirectly, hot weather kills the babies. And it is only by being very careful in caring for the food that the lives of the babies can be saved. face while he got mixed up with the truth. Later on another part of the same case came up in Judge Ben, M. Smith's court, and Hezekiah again mounted the witness stand and when the attorney for the other side finished hurling questions at him he looked like 30 cents, and the honorable neighbor resembled a great big circus clown while occupying the witness stand and after he swiped the sweat from his unmany brow, at least for the time being, Judge Smith patted him on the back for his skilful lying on the witness stand. Only recently the third part of the same case was up for trial before Judge M. F. Girten of the municipal court and little Martin Isaac was one of the star witnesses and without any question about it, he is a past master in the art of lying. In his opening statement of the case to the jury, in Judge Girten's court, the honorable neighbor, Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris, who is uncouth and very rough in his manners, and seemingly takes much pleasure in showing off before the whites in a crowded court room, who also delights in buldozing and belitteling the lawyers and the witnesses opposed to him, declared that "the Colored man who was interested in the other side of the case and not his side, was of no importance whatever that he had no fixed habitation, that he spent the most of his time on a furniture van moving from place to place, in other words, he had no home nowhere" and so on. The Colored man mildly protested at his lying or untruthful remarks, stating at the same time that he was no tramp, and that he paid near on one hundred dollars a year taxes on Cook Count real yestate, at the conclusion of those remarks, the honorable neighbor, Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris, like a cowardly midnight assassin or a prize-fighting bully, wanted Judge Girten to reprimand and fine the Colored man for daring to talk back to him, while the honorable court was in session. Don't overfeed the baby. It is not always hunger that makes the baby cry. Often it is thirst or tight, uncomfortable clothing. Dress the baby in light, loose clothing. In hot weather, binder and napkin are sufficient both for comfort and health. Give, the baby a drink of water (which should be first boiled and cooled) but not with ice in it. Babies should have water same as big folks. Don't over-eat during the hot weather. Cut out meats, gravies and the heat producing foods, and live on fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs and the cereal foods. Stay out doors all you can. Drink lots of water. Beer and alcoholic drinks are highly dangerous as hot weather drinks. Buttermilk is better, as it is both refreshing and nourishing. CHICAGO, JULY 2, 1910. M.

The white Catholics of the town of Plancheville, La., have been having some difficulty with their pastor, the Rev. C. Biahic, in a dispute which has arisen in regard to the segregation of the Negroes from the white members of the church. Last week a committee called upon the pastor to request that the Negroes be given a portion of the church, a separate portion of the communion table and a separate portion of the cemetery from that of the whites. According to advises this the priest refused to do, and took offense at the action of the committee, preaching a sermon on Sunday, in which those who took part in the movement were termed hypocrites and meddlers. Father Biahic said that the next time a committee would call upon him he would walk out of the church and turn over his house to them. chancellor, Rev. Canon Peter Scotti, in honor of Father Scotti's fifteenth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. From The Picayune, New Orleans, La., June 26, 1910. If all the priests and ministers were guided by the same religious spirit like unto the above Catholic priest and bishop, then there would be some merit in the boasted claim, that the Christian religion, excels in every way; all the other religions.—Editor. TELEPOST LEASES KANSAS CITY OFFICE. New York, N. Y., June 25th, 1910.—President H. Lee Sellers of the Telegpost Automatic Telegraph system announced to-day at the executive offices of the company that an office had been leased at No. 818 Delaware St. Kansas City and that service between that city and St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis and other points reached Bishop Van de Ven, in whose diocese Plancheville is located, who has been in the city for a few days as the guest of Rev. Father J. F. Prim was spoke to upon this subject yesterday. Bishop Van de Ven said that he knew that there had been some difficulty in this way a few weeks ago, but he thought that a great deal of the trouble was due to the fact that the whites are anxious to drive the Negroes out of the churches entirely, and this, of course, no pastor will countenance. "I advised the white Catholics," Bishop Van de Ven said, "some time ago that while I did not in the least intend to go against Southern traditions, nor would I seek to have the whites and Negroes intermingle, at the same time the Colored people must have the rights in the Catholic Church to which they are entitled. They must not be driven from the church. They may have their separate places in church, of course, but their rights must be protected. I did not hear of this latest trouble with their pastor, but I think it most likely due to the fact that the pastor was trying to protect the rights of the poor Colored people." Bishop Van de Ven will leave for New York to-day. He will sail from New York for Rome, where he will have an audience with the holy father. Yesterday he visited the Holy Cross Convent and the St. Joseph's Academy, where he was most cordially welcomed by the Sisters and pupils. He also attended the anniversary dinner given at the residence of the chancellor, Rev. Canon Peter Scotti, in honor of Father Scotti's fifteenth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. From The Picayune, New Orleans, La., June 26, 1910.

The Head Officials of International Labor Union, Dayton, Ohio Are Up in Arms Against Many Newspaper Men Makes Due Threats Against Virginians---Attacks the Cleveland Gazette Too---Its Able Editor. The I. L. U. of Dayton, O., is evidently much disturbed by the agitation in the country, coupled with the drastic treatment it has received at the hands of the efficient commissioner of insurance of this state, Hon. Joseph Button. It is issuing and distributing a circular which will react upon Mr. W. G. Critchlow. Hon. H. C. Smith is one of the best known race leaders in the country and his integrity is unquestioned. The Cleveland Gazette published by one Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, Ohio, carried in a recent issue an attack on this Union. Said attack was reprinted from the Richmond PLANET. Richmond, Va. The Richmond PLANET was evidently given their piece by the Insurance Commissioner of Virginia. The Commissioner got the piece from the Dayton Journal, a daily paper published in Dayton, Ohio. THE TRUTH. The Insurance Commissioner of Virginia opposes this Union because we refuse to be coerced by his department into paying taxes in that state as an Insurance Company. This Union is not an Insurance Company, never has been, never pretended to be, and never will be so far as now known. Therefore, it will not be forced into paying excessive insurance taxes in Virginia. HOW IT ALL HAPPENED The Insurance Commissioner's Department evidently worked some scheme to get an article evidently written in that office, into the columns of the Dayton Journal. They then evidently took the piece and sent it out to the papers of that state. Probably they hoped to thus put this Union out of business. It is certain they were afraid to stand for the story sent out, and so hid behind the name of the Dayton Journal. THE PLANET. The PLANET got the piece and printed it. That paper was at that day and date under contract with this Union, duly signed and sealed. They violated a specific clause of their contract without notice to this Union. This indicates to us the management behind the publication, who regard their signed contracts so lightly. The matter is now in the hands of attorneys for this Union to investigate that paper's financial standing with regard to civil suit for breach of contract. THE CLEVELAND GAZETTE. The Cleveland Gazette copied the piece from The PLANET. That paper had been trying to get some of the money of this Union for advertising and failed. Failing to get our money he becomes a knocker. Read these letters from the publisher of that paper to this Union and see. THE LETTER. The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio Harry C. Smith, Propr., Dated) September 30, 1909. Mr. Critchlow. Dear Sir:—We will run your 54 inch adv. (electro) six months, every other week, for sixty dollars, cash to accompany electrotype with order to insert the same as per instructions. This is an extremely low rate because of the size and kind of adv., and the length of time for which you Specials of National Labor Dayton, Ohio inst Many Newspaper Men Virginians---Attacks the Cleve- o---Its Able Editor. desire it inserted. During its life in the Gazette we will give you with- out extra charge a ten line reading notice which you can send three times—one every month. Very truly yours, Signed: H. C. SMITH. HERE IS ANOTHER. Harry C. Smith, Prop'r., (Dated) November 4, 1909. W. G. Critchlow. Dear Sir:—Were the rates we gave you on your large electro adv. satisfactory or not? Answer. THAT? These letters show for themselves. Smith did not get the contract. Now he starts knocking. He wanted our $60.00, and failing to get same he turns the other way. What do you think of that fellow? THE REASON WHY. The reason the Gazette did not get the contract was because of its statement in a letter dated August 30, 1909, as follows: "The Gazette has no equal in its class (race) as an advertising medium, reaching more Afro-Americans in central, southern and western U. S. than any other publication." That statement we know to be false and we can prove it. If the proprietor was so far from the truth in one statement in which we had the correct particulars, we would not care to trust him in others. Draw your own conclusions as to this paper's motive. THE DAYTON JOURNAL The next day after publication the Dayton Journal retracted the statement worked into its columns by the Virginia people. The management of the Journal say they cannot understand how such a statement got into their columns and they not only regretted it, but retracted it and published a complete denial signed by this union. Every other Dayton daily paper investigated the story, found it to be a "faked" newspaper story, and would not print a line of it. The story referred to herein is false in nearly every particular—it is misleading—it is malicious—and the printing of it we believe constitutes criminal libel under the United States laws. RETRACTION. Every paper printing said story that comes to the attention of this Union will be asked to print a retraction of same. Failing to do so the matter will be referred to our attorneys, with instructions to spare no expense in investigating financial responsibility of every such paper, and where responsibility to file suit for civil damages—and if possible to have arrested under the United States criminal libel laws. We purpose to protect our good name, the good name and integrity of our officials, and to stand back of the reputation for fair dealings that we have in the eight years past built up. ONE MORE PAPER. One South Carolina paper published the story, too. This paper failed to get a 1910 advertising contract with this Union, though it was tried.

Lake St., near Lincoln St. 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 Vorn 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 Massa. 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. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor. The lodges represented were: Alpha, No. 1381; Morning Star, No. 1470; Mount Zion, No. 1670; Cherubim, No. 6871, and Alvin, No. 7888. Households present were: Victoria, Olga, Mara and Queen Ethel. 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 regalia. The sermon was delivered by Dr. A. A. Crooks, 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. JONES. eater who conducts, one of the most mements in Chicago.

De Toscano, worthy recorder: Mrs. Sarah Williams and Grand Master David Brown each made brief addresses, in which they told of the work and progress of the order during the year. At the meeting of the state grand lodge in Rochester last year it was decided to start a fund for the purpose of erecting at some central point in the state of New York a home for the aged members of the order; therefore the collection taken at this service was set aside for that specific purpose. Dinner For Y. M. C. A. Manager Dinner For Y. M. C. A. Managera. Plans are being perfected for the first annual dinner of the committee of management of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn. The dinner will be held at the branch, 405 Carlton avenue, on Wednesday evening, June 15. It will be an invitational affair. The object of the gathering, aside from its social features, is to lay before the citizens of Brooklyn the necessity of the work from a business standpoint. Step Useless Extravagance 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. A large number of Negroes who were arrested some time ago have refused to be released on ball, claiming the right of free speech. General Freyse Andrade, secretary to former President Palma, has offered to defend the prisoners in their claim to be heard, and the situation now looks dark for the administration forces.

Derivation of Money The word "money" is derived from "moneta," a name given by the Romans to their silver pieces because coined in a building on the Capitaline hill attached to the temple of Jupiter Moneta. The officers in charge of the mint were called triumviri monetales, and Niebuhr thinks that they were introduced at the time when the Romans first began to coin silver. Standing Armies The first standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. of France in 1445. In England the first standing army was organized in 1638. Folding a Man's Coat. To fold a man's coat lay the coat out perfectly flat with the inside down. The sleeves should be spread out smoothly and then folded back to the elbow until each end of the sleeve is even with the collar. Fold the revers back and then double the coat over, folding it directly in the center seam, and then smooth it out carefully and lay flat in the drawer. Nettle Fiber. From nettle fiber a thread has been produced so fine that a length of sixty miles of it weighs but two and a half pounds. Orang-utan. Orang-utan is a Malay word derived from orang, man, and utan, woods. It would appear from this that the Dyaks of Borneo, who use the term, were Darwinians at an early date. The one thing most nearly human about the orang-utan is its cry when wounded, according to the stories of hunters.

Apelle's Favorite Instrument. Apollo was the old god of music, and his favorite instrument, the lyre, was invented by Mercury. When the latter was four hours old he found the shell of a tortoise and made it into a lyre with nine strings in honor of the nine musees. This instrument Mercury gave to Apollo, who became a wonderful player upon it. The lyre was used by the Greeks in olden times, and from it was fashioned the harp. A fly will lie motionless at a temperature of freezing point, begin to crowl at 83 degrees, to bum and fly at 63 degrees. One hundred and thirteen degrees of dry heat will usually kill a fly in a short time. Dressing the Hair In preparing human hair for sale it is first assorted, combed and washed in boiling water to which a weak solution of soda or ammonia is added, then assorted as to colors.
