BUSSE AND CO LICE WILL NOT PERMIT THE TURES OF THE JEFFRIES AN THEIR DECISION IN THIS RES LEGAL BATTLE IN THE COU MAYOR JOHN E. REYBURN WIL IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO S IF JEFFRIES HAD BEEN DE FIGHTER OF THE WORLD. IT IS THEREFORE GALLING TO THINK THAT A NEGOR CAR The many admirers of John Arthur Johnson, in New York City, under the leadership of Baron Wilkins, who is one of the most successful Afro American business men, are perfecting plans and the movement will extend all over the country, to present the heavy-weight champion with an elegant gold studded diamond belt, which will cost more than twenty-five thousand dollars, it will contain more than 200 diamonds and the largest stone which will set right in the center will weigh more than four carats. The belt will be presented to him sometime this coming fall in New York City, and before the time for its presentation his friends residing in all parts of the country will have a chance to chip in and assist to purchase it and when Johnson sports around in his new diamond studded gold belt, he will certainly be some dogs. Shortly after the termination of the Jeffries-Johnson prize-fight at Renova, Nevada, Mayor Fred A. Busse, and Col. Le Roy T. Steward of this city declared that "they would take no steps to stop the moving pictures of the fight that they had no power to do so" and Mayor Busse, in an interview in reference to the outcome of the fight went on to say that "in the past white prize-fighters had been knocked out by Colored prize-fighters and doubtless they would continue to do so, and the fact that "Jeffries, a white man had been wrested by Johnson, a Colored man, in a prize-fight, was nothing for the people in this country to get excited about, "that at no time in the past had there been the slightest objection to moving pictures of that kind and unless some acts of lawlessness were committed during their exhibition that there would be no interference on the part of the police department," or words to the same effect, and Col. Steward in his interview let it be known that the moving pictures of the fight, as long as they were within the bounds of decency and were not radically different from other moving pictures along the same line, would have smooth sailing in Chicago, that he did not expect any trouble, that there is not near so much race prejudice against the Colored people in this city as there is in most of the Southern cities, and no harm would come from their exhibition, as most of the pictures of the fight had already been YOU ARE INVITED. To a national convention called to confer as to how best to deal with the political conditions confronting Colored Americans at Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 4-6, 1910. Every Colored American who is opposed to slavery and denial of civil and political rights because of race, color or previous condition, and who believes Colored citizens have a duty to perform against color discrimination and scattered to all parts of the world through the columns of the daily newspapers. But in order to throw dust in the eyes of the people as to the amount of stealing and robbing the small taxpayers in this city, by some of its officials during the past three and a half years, Mayor Busse and Chief Steward, this week came out flat footed against permitting the moving pictures to be exhibited in Chicago, and its property owning citizens will have to dig down into their pockets and bring forth the money to enable the city to wage a long uncalled for legal fight in the courts, in a vain effort to back up the uncalled positions assumed by Mayor Busse and Chief Steward. Mayor John E. Reyburn, of Philadelphia, Pa., possesses a large amount of good common horse sense and he will permit the promoters of the moving pictures to exhibit them in that staid old eastern city to their hearts content. As it has been stated in these columns, that if Jeffries would have won in his contest with Johnson, he would have been hailed by the so-called Christians throughout this country, as divine evidence of the superiority in every respect of the white race over the black race. But as it turned out the other way, it its very galling indeed to hypocritical Christians, who roll up their eyes Heavenward, in-holy horror, at the very idea of permitting the exhibition of the moving pictures. But if a lynching bee was on tap, of a Negro, charged with raping some low white woman, who wanted to be raped, thousands and thousands of this same class of Christians who are bellowing out against the moving pictures, would attend the lynching bee with their sweet Innocent little children to witness the Negro being burned at the stake and gladly pay out their money for slices of his quivering flesh, and the preachers would have exclaimed from their pulps that such demoralizing scenes, have been productive of much wholesome and moral influence. And yet they are bitterly opposed to one class of moving pictures, the Johnson and Jeffries, and we are again reminded that there is more hypocrisy to the square inch among the Christians in America, than any other country in the world. disfranchisement, is eligible and is urged to attend. This will be one of the greatest of equal rights conventions for political independence at one of America's greatest seashore resorts.

The "Grand Old Man," of the Catholic church, in the United States, Cardinal James Gibbons, of Baltimore has just celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday. The good health and happiness of this saintly old man gave gratification to all of his fellow citizens, of every creed and color. None more than his Colored fellow citizens, whether of his own or other churches, rejoice over his prolonged years. He has been the consistent friend of the Colored people, and in the broad Christian spirit. He has not patronised and humiliated us, as others have done and continue to do. He has advised, helped co-operated to elevate us as well as the rest of his countrymen in the United States. His heart goes out to the lowly and the oppressed. He holds up to condemnation the vices of wealth and "society" with as unsparing hands, as he criticises the sins of the poor. But he never condemns vindictively and never preaches hopelessly. His action is that of a father and brother, his heart that of a worthy Apostle of the victim of Calvary who died that life eternal might be given to all the children of God whether white, brown or black. One Cardinal Gibbons in each of the many churches in our country would be worth more to peace, humanity and morality than all the armies, navies and policemen, we sustain at so enormous an expense. But let him speak for himself. In a birthday interview he said: "Divorce is a canker which is eating into the vitals of our life. Society—our whole civilization — uprears itself upon the sanctity of the home and the unity of the family. When you attack the family you attack government itself. And government, to protect and perpetuate itself, must expunge from its statutes the criminal divorce laws which the best of our life abhors. Seriousness of marriage. "I pray for the time when men and women may be persuaded to understand the seriousness of marriage. Regardless of religious convictions they should understand when they marry that they are entering upon a contract which is not of a day or a month, but of a lifetime. "They should know that they must bear and forbear. The husband cannot pull one way and the wife another. They must pull in the traces together?" The subject of divorce had come up naturally in the course of a gen- eral conversation and the cardinal at once opened upon it with all his battles. The evils of divorce are ever uppermost in his thoughts. He has fought against divorce and the separation of married persons these last fifty years as no other American has. To him there is nothing more vital and he is carrying on the battle today with all the influence of his exalted position as eagerly as he began it when he put on the garb of a priest half a century ago. Divorce a Crime Against Children. "Ponder," he said, "the helpless little children of these homes destroyed by divorces. Instead of love ruling their hearts and lives, hatred is sown there. The father goes one way and the mother the other, never to meet again. The children are left without an anchorage. They know not to whom to appeal for affection. How can we expect them to bourgeon into true and tender men and women? "Ah, these children of divorced parents—the they are the bitter sorrow of my life. They are given no chance, and I say woe unto them who are responsible." "The ease with which divorces may be obtained in some of our states is nothing less than criminal. One of the favorite grounds of these days is what is called incompatibility of temper. A wife may burn a pan of biscuits. The husband chides her. Miserable little biting words fly from their tongues. There is never a thought of the children. Only the selfish pride of the parents is considered, and presently there is an action brought for divorce. Incompatibility of temper—bah, I say to the laws which permit such things. They affront God and every one who fears him." The reporter then said: "Your eminence, don't you think that this would be an appropriate occasion to send a message to the young men of the nation?" Message to Young Men. "Perhaps it is," said the cardinal. "Pause so that the subject may be an appropriate one. I would tell the young men of these United States to love their country and cherish its greatness. I bespeak this with the same earnestness as I bespeak love and fear of God. "Let more young men of education and virtuosa' ideals give themselves to the public service, and if they do so with clean hearts and hands the pregnant evils of government must be eliminated. In serving your country, you are serving God. These extracts, photograph the man The Seventh Biennial Convention of the National Association OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS HELD AT LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AS ONE OF ITS VICE PRESIDENTS ACCOUNTS TO NO ONE FOR THE MONEY SHE COLLECTS AS SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE NATIONAL NOTES. SPLENDID SET OF RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED. THE CITIZENS OF LOUISVILLE, ROYALLY ENTERTAINED THE DELE- GATES AND VISITORS. BIRDS EYE VIEW OF ITS DELIBERATIONS AND SHORT COMINGS BY MRS. IDA B. WELLS-BARNETT. The seventh biennial of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs is a thing of the past. It was the largest and most successful of all the meetings held since the first one in Washington City, fourteen years ago, and the citizens of Louisville, entertained on the most magnificent scale of any of the cities heretofore Mis Elizabeth C, Carter, the first president to visit her entire constituency, was re-elected unanimously to succeed herself. This she richly deserved at the hands of the women she had inspired to come into the National. She has spent her whole time except when teaching in visiting the Women's Clubs and State Federation, and right nobly they responded to her efforts. From California to Florida, they came near three hundred strong, and supported Miss Carter as loyally when she was in the wrong as when she was in the right. Loyalty based upon gratitude and appreciation is such a rare trait, one cannot help but admire it. even through it make parliamentary blunders and commits errors against good breeding. The convention sat for four of the longest, and hottest days ever experienced and listened to reports of state presidents and individual clubs! Most of the business was done in executive committee, and their minutes when read to the body were not discussed. The chairman of the executive committee, Mrs. Gibbs of Minnesota, presented an able report and splendid recommendations for the betterment of the work, but not one of them was adopted by the association! There was objection to discussing the report even, and at last ten minutes were granted for the discussion of the most important matter brought before the national! The ten minutes discussion was taken up with the first recommendation, that we have an editor for the "National Notes", the national organ of the association. A standing vote was taken on the motion that we elect an editor, and that editor report at each biennial the amount of money received and expended, the subscription list, etc. The motion passed unanimously, not one member voting against it! After the motion was won, Miss Carter then ruled the action all out of order on the ground that it was creating a new office and we couldn't do that without an amendment to the constitution to take effect 2 years hence. When an attempt was made to prove the office of editor had been created fourteen years ago, and appeal from the decision of the chair, the same women who had voted to elect the editor with the other officers—voted now to sustain the decision of the chair! The ten minutes thus went by and the executive chairman's report is still unadopted! According to parliamentary law, none of the report was adopted and account for the affection, respect and reverence which go out to him from the hearts of all true Americans. May Cardinal Gibbons be blessed with many more years of health and usefulness, is the sincere prayer of one of his humblest but most earnest admirers—one not of his church nor of his color—a black man. No.43 and none of the recommendations can become effective until this is done. Hardly a woman in the association but has complained of the management of the "National Notes" which Mrs. Booker T. Washington has held under her control for 14 years. It is said she has never made a report as to circulation or anything connected therewith, save to present her bills for postage, paper, press work, etc. These have been audited and paid, but no effort has been made to put the paper in the association's control before. The women have collected subscriptions, but have received no papers. The notes comes out rather irregularly and many women declare they are in bad odor with their friends whose money they have collected for the "notes", but who hardly ever receive their paper, some of them have never done so. The National Negro Committee of New York sent its executive secretary, Miss Frances Blascoe, to the National Association of Colored Women, who told of the work of this great committee and some of the able white men and women who have joined hands to help the Negro secure his freedom from disfranchisement, jim crow laws, lynching, peonage and other evils. The women received the news enthusiastically and rose in one body singing "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." They endorsed the movement and pledged to have their clubs join and send delegates to the next meeting in New York on Lincoln's birthday. The election of officers resulted in Miss Carter being elected overwhelmingly to succeed herself; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, vice-president; Mrs. W. N. Steward, of Louisville, recording secretary; Miss Ida Cummings, Baltimore, corresponding secretary; Mrs Ida Joyce Jackson, Ohio, treasurer; Mrs Minnie Scott, Indiana, national organizer; Mrs. K. D. Tillman, California, chairman ways and means committee; Miss Joseph Holmes, Texas, auditor. Mrs. Jasper Gibbs, Minnesota, chairman executive committee. Illinois although having the largest delegation present outside of Kentucky, got no office, but bore off the prize for the largest amount of money for the ways and means, raised by any state. The convention voted to go to Hampton, Virginia two years hence, and accept the invitation of Dr. Frissell, to be the guest of the Hampton Institute. Friday evening the session proper closed with a big banquet, presentation to officers of gifts, toasts, etc. Saturday morning, the final session was held and another effort made through Mrs. Tenney of Nashville, to know something about the business of the National, but she was told that all money was properly accounted for, etc., without telling her and the other women, how much money had been paid in at this session—how many clubs were represented, how much was in the treasury at the beginning of this session and what it was to be paid out for. They all want to know, and a clear explicit statement should have been given those women who paid their money unquestionably into the treasury of the National—but they were told to run along home and THE BROADAX Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principle, of Democracy, but Catholic, Protestant, Friends, Inundica, Single Taxes, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Permit the exhibition of no pictures or representations in any form of acts illegal in the state of Illinois.—Order From Le Roy T. Steward, Superintendent of Police. This latest ukase from the desk of Chicago's police chief adds to the wide renown for absurdity of Le Roy T. Steward. We might almost say that it reads clear Mr. Steward's title to incompetence. It is intended to suppress moving pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight. We do not consider these prize fight pictures a commendable form of public entertainment. Nevertheless we remark that the demand for their suppression is supported, if not loudly voiced, by the very persons who were most anxious at the time to get the news from the ringside. Apparently some respectable gentlemen who are esdeavoring to atone for the interest with which they haunted the newspaper offices, hung over the ticker, and watched the private wire bulletins for the results of the contest at Reno have had a change of heart and morals. This by the way. But the Steward order tries to bar from exhibition not only the prize picture pictures but practically all of the classic and modern drama. If this absurd order could be and were meant to be really enforced Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" would be barred from the stage at once. For it exhibits several acts illegal in Illinois—conspiracy to commit murder, a cold-blooded murder, and inciting to riot. "Romeo and Juliet" would have to go, for it exhibits brawling, dueling and suicide. So would "As You Like It" and "Twelfth Night," for in them women dress in men's clothes, which is misdemeanor by statute and disorderly conduct by ordinance. Indeed, if the Steward idea of preventing crime were to prevail, about the only plays left and granted approval would be those which deal with the "problems," that are socially presented by ladies with a bad past. Such plays as "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," "The Notorious Mrs. Bramshsmith" and "Iris" do not as a rule exhibit illegal acts. They merely discuss indecent acts and lives. "Mrs. Warren's Profession," with a very slight excision of an unessential scene in which one character threatens another with a gun, would be admitted under the Steward rule. "Hamlet" and "Charley's Aunt," "Lear" and "The Rivals," "Othello" and "She Stoops to Conquer," "Samson Agnoistes" and "York State Folks," would alike be barred, for they exhibit murder, impersonation to defraud, obtaining money under false pretenses, malicious destruction of property, and theft. Of course it will be said that the Steward order is meant to be enforced "with discretion." That is really the worst and most noisome feature of it. For it opens the door wide to blackmall. Under the pretense of preventing for committing crime. That is what always happens when a petty-minded bureaucrat is given power.-Chicago Inter Ocean, July 27, 1910. COLORED WOMEN'S NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CLUBS. (Concluded from page 1.) send for the minutes and there they would see what had been done with their money. Of course when they receive their minutes they will be back in their little homes—unable to object or consent to the paying out of their money, but that is a small matter that they didn't think about. However they adopted a resolution calling for receiving club reports through state presidents and this will leave more time for business. The resolutions adopted are as follows: RESOLUTIONS Whereas, we note that in the reports of the National Laymen's Convention in Chicago, the World's Sunday School Convention, Washington, D. C., and the World's Missionary Conference, Edinburgh, Scotland, wonderful efforts are being put forth by united Christendom to have Christ preached to all nations therefore, Resolved, that we pledge our prayerful and material helpfulness, to this all-important work of the redemption of the fallen at home and in other lands. Whereas, we note that prominent white citizens of the South are planning to erect a million dollar monument to the memory of the black mammals of the South, therefore, be it. Resolved, that this association thanks the South for its contemplated tribute of affection to the black mammies whose faithful service to the white South is not forgotten; that a monument more lasting than bronze or granite would be erected in the hearts of the children and grandchildren of these black mammies, if the South would guarantee protection of the law for their lives, and liberty. 3. Whereas, during the present year, certain periodicals have published articles charging the spread of social diseases to the Negro race, therefore, be it Resolved, that we denounce those articles as false and malicious and call upon the National Medical Association—an organization of Negro doctors, which convenes in Washington, D. C., during the month of August, to make scientific refutation of these slanders upon the race they represent. Happily we have our own physicians in every section of this great country who are in possession of facts and figures with which to disprove these calumnies. 4. Whereas, the "National Association for the advancement of Colored people" having elected our president, Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, to membership in that organization, and has also sent its secretary, Miss Blascoer to visit us, therefore, be it Resolved, that we thank this association for this consideration, and the work it is doing for the race, and pledge our co-operation and endorsement of the same. 5. Resolved, that each woman's club throughout the land be asked to make strenuous efforts to urge the men of the race, who have the ballot, to guard that ballot as their most precious possession. 6. Resolved, that the National Association of Colored Women, through our president, present bill to the next session of congress asking federal legislation against lynching, and that we further authorize her to request the president of the United States to incorporate such a recommendation in his next message to Congress. 7. Whereas, since much of the time of this convention has been consumed in reading reports of clubs, leaving little time for discussion of papers, or business, and as it has become impossible by reason of the growth of the organization, to continue the past custom, therefore be it. Resolved, that we substitute printed forms for the present custom of individual club reports; that each club fill out these forms and forward to the state president, and that these be read in condensed and systematized form by the state president, when she makes her report. 8. Resolved, that we thank the City Federation of Women's Clubs of Louisville, the Library Building Association, the Y. M. C. A., the armory managers and all the citizens who have individually and collectively contributed to the magnificent hospitality extended to the National. 9. Resolved, that we thank the city press for its extended reports of our session. We appreciate also the efforts of the local federation in launching for the first time in the history of the association, a "Daily Bulletin," giving the proceedings of our meeting, and recommend the delegates to take home to their clubs the set of five issues. Resolved, that we thank our president and these National officers for their faithful, patient and splendid service which has been most trying because of the intense heat." --- Ida B.

We know also that in order to keep clean and to have clean, healthful surroundings, we have to fight dirt all the time. The trouble is that dirt is always gathering and pilling up, it seems, of its own accord. Cleanliness does not. We may clean up the back yard and have the place neat and tidy as a new pin; but almost before we know it the rubbish has gathered again and another clean-up is needed. Fifth attracts flies and furnishes them breeding places. Flies, as we known, carry the germs of disease on their feet. Because this is true, we should never cease keeping clean. Every day should be cleaning day. If this is done, it makes the work of keeping clean, easy. Don't dirt of any kind accumulate. Set a good example to your neighbors by keeping your own premises neat and attractive. If you have a neighbor, that won't keep his place clean, tell the Health Department about it. COLORED MAN BET ON JAMES J JEFFRIES AND IS STABBED. TO DEATH. Tuesday morning, while quarreling over a one dollar bet on the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight, William Green residing at 3200 Wabash ave., was stabbed to death by Arthur Cooper, who it seems went to the home of the first named person to collect the stake money and while fighting over the small amount of money involved Mr. Green lost his life. The trouble which has spread its self over Arthur Cooper, should be a warning to all Colored people, not to be too hot-headed or hastily in settling their disputes. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.

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 1886. 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.

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 Capitoline hill attached to the temple of Jupiter Moneta.
