The Broad Ax

The Democratic and Republican County Slates HAVE BEEN SPLIT RIGHT SQUARE THROUGH THE CENTER. BY THE MANY ASPIRING STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS WHO HAVE AN ITCHING DESIRE TO BE-COME PUBLIC SERVANTS. FORMER ALDERFAN JOHN H. JONES, WILL MAKE THE RACE FOR SHERIFF OF COOK COUNTY AND A HOT FIGHT IS ON IN SOUTH CHICAGO. THERE WILL BE KNOCKING DOWN AND DRAGGING OUT OF OFFICE SEEKERS AT THE PRIMARIES, SEPTEMBER 15. It was the honest opinion of the big and little politicians, several weeks ago, that the big leaders of both the leading parties in this county, had fixed up their political fences so, high that no one could break through them but it seems that they had been dreaming, for to the great surprise of all hands, both the Democratic and Republican slates have been split right square through the center, not by the leaders of either party, but by the many aspiring statesmen, or politicians who have an itching desire to become public servants. The greatest jolt was in store for the Republican leaders or the "Big Five", when it was announced that former Alderman John H. Jones, will make the race for Sheriff of Cook County, which simply means that he will put up a hot fight in South Chicago against John J. Hanberg, who has been the big political boss in that section of the city for many years and Alderman Jones will have accomplished a great work if he can successfully put him out of business. The greatest mix up among the Democrats has been in relation to the candidates for judges of the municipal court, the harmony committee after wasting much time finally selected ten almost unknown lawyers, some of them with hardly any practice at all to make the race for those six thousand dollar a year, jobs and a lot of other lawyers made up their minds that they wanted the same soft jobs, so the slate was busted and now there are 27 Democratic candidates in the running for municipal judges. The following are the Republican and Democratic candidates for sheriff, county treasurer, county clerk, clerk of the probate court, clerk of the criminal court, county supt of schools; member of the board of review, member of the board of assessors, president of county board, president of the sanitary board and trustees of the sanitary district, country, commissioners, judges of the superior court, judge of the circuit court, judge of county court, judge of probate court, and municipal court judges.

The latest literary production by an Afro-American, is a new book entitled "The Black Man, the Father of Civilization," by Rev. J. M. Webb, of Seattle, Wash., one of the most widely known divines on the Pacific coast. The book is interestingly written from beginning to end, and with much historical data, and with numerous quotations from the Bible, Rev. Webb, more than proves that the black man is the father of civilization, that he was the founder of the Egyptian civilization, and held civilization aloft in other parts of the ancient eastern world. That Jesus, Solomon and David and many other biblical characters had Negro blood in their veins that Moses, was married to a Negro woman, and so on. DEMOCRATICS AND CANDIDATES.

In addition to this great army of candidates seeking the various offices in Cook County, there are more than one hundred statesmen throughout the state who labor under the impression that they should be elected to congress from its many congressional districts, and there are more than five hundred gentlemen, politicians, and plug uglies, many of them good, bad and indifferent, who entertain the one idea, namely that "they are well qualified to misrepresent the people in the next legislature of Ill." So without any question about it there will be and should be knocking down and dragging out of a whole regiment of office seekers at the governor September 15th. What women have done in the last four years in the campaign against tuberculosis, is discussed in an interesting report issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Four years ago the active women workers in the anti-tuberculosis movement were a little group of about thirty women's clubs. Today $80,000 women under the Health Department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in every state and territory of the United States are banded together against this disease, and more than 2,000 clubs are taking a special interest in the crusade. Not less than $600,000 is raised annually by them for tuberculosis work, besides millions that are secured through their efforts in state and municipal appropriations. Mrs. Rufus P. Williams is the chairman of the department that directs this work. In addition to the work of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, The Public Health Education Committee of the American Medical Association, composed largely of women physicians has carried on an educational campaign of lectures during the past year in which thousands have been reached. The Mothers' Congress, the Young Women's Christian Association, and many unattached clubs bring the number of women united in the tuberculosis war to well over a million. There is not a state in the union where some work has not been done. Through the activity of women, sanatoria and hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis have been erected; travelling libraries have been circulated, posters, circulars and other kinds of literature have been distributed to the number of millions of pieces; thousands of lectures have been given, large sums of money have been secured, hundreds of needy cases have been helped; tuberculosis work has been started in many communities where no movement had existed; and millions of women have learned the dangers and methods of prevention of tuberculosis. The work of the women extends JESSE BINGA.

Since the recent stir up in medical circles and the calling into question some thousands of Chicago doctors people are wondering. Among the DRESSING THE BABY WHO'S WHO IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. Since the recent stir up in medical circles and the calling into question some thousands of Chicago doctors, people are wondering. Among the schools attacked as diploma mills, was Bennett Medical School from which one of our great surgeons, "George Cleveland Hall" graduated. It is claimed that some of the Chicago doctors are positively ignorant, not only of medicine, but have not even a primary education. The requirements for entrance into a medical school is a High School Diploma and a knowledge of Latin and chemistry. It may be required for you to produce these before the war is ended, so our medics better look up their credentials. Mr. Wayman has certainly done an excellent work in exposing fake schools and doctors as many lives will be saved by it. The Leland Giants won the benefit game for the Provident Hospital, Thursday afternoon, at Comiskey's new park, trimming the Gunthers by a score of 9 to 4. The Giants found Rugar an easy proposition to hit while the Gunther twirler was backed up by poor support, which partly accounted for the Colored men's runs. Pryor starred for the Colored men, getting three hits, while he made a great one-handed catch of a line drive off of Hutton's bat. A big crowd attended the game. The Normals failed to show up for the game with the University of Chicago team.

Owens, candidate for Judge of the County Court; is so extremely popular with the leaders of all factions of the Democratic party, that no aspirant for judicial honors, has filed his petition against him or will run in opposition at the primaries, and with a united party behind him, he will be the next judge of the County Court. Mrs. Lottie Wilson Moss, of Mossdale Farm, Niles, Mich., entertained her guests on Tuesday evening with a marshmallow roast. The enchanting moonlight and camp fire on the lawn made a wierd scene which greatly enhanced the fun. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Hudson, Mrs. Geo. W. Holt and mother and Mrs. R. C. Davls, of Chicago; also Master Bernard Lewis. Rev. Father Daniel Croke, pastor of St. Cella Church, 5th avenue and 45th street, is greatly interested in William L. O'Connell, Democratic candidate for county treasurer. Father Croke, has known him for many years, and confidentially, believing that he is strictly honest, he is thoroughly convinced that he will make a capable county official. Samuel J.

She recently perfected all arrangements for the construction of a railroad from Coxaaca to the port of Salina Cruz, on the isthmus of Techtantepec, with a branch line to Puerto Angel, on the Pacific coast. Lady Sarah Wilson, who has visited within the past few years in this country, was in South Africa during the Boer war, on her way to join her husband when she was taken prisoner. She was afterward exchanged for a horse thief. The orders of the Red Cross and St. John of Jerusalem have been conferred upon her. The Rev. Anna B. Shaw is a graduate of Albion college, Michigan, and later worked her way through the theological department of Boston university by preaching Sundays. On account of her sex the Methodist Episcopal church refused to ordain her, but she was finally given the right to officiate by the Protestant Methodist church. Don't ask me to "back" with blinds cm; I'm afraid to. Don't let some blockhead drive me that has less sense than I have. Don't run me down a steep hill, for if anything should give way I might break your neck. Don't whip me when I get frightened or I will expect it next time and may make you trouble. Don't trot me up hill, for I have you, the buggy and myself to carry. Try running uphill with a load yourself. Don't drive me with an "overcheck" on. The sun hurts my eyes, and I can't see where to step. It's inhuman and cruel. Tales of Cities Caracas, Venezuela, has a population of 80,000, but it is said that there is not a store in the city where a man can buy a suit of ready made clothes. With a permanent population of 50,000, an immense summer population and some of the largest hotels in the country, Atlantic City, N.

Perhaps no secret order among Afro-Americans in the United States is so little understood by the masses of the race as is the Masonic fraternity. There are thirty-eight grand lodges in the United States and one in Canada. The Prince Hall grand lodge of Mar The Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts is the oldest. It was or- ADCHA ganized in 1808. It was the outgrowth of African lodge No. 459, the warrant for which was issued by the grand master of England to Prince Hall and fifteen other colored Masons, Sept. 29, 1784. The number of colored Masons in the United States and Canada is more than 150,000. Of the Royal Arch there are 14,000; Knights Templars, 12,000; Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, 2,000; Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons number upward of 5,712. Prominent members of the Masonic fraternity from forty states will attend the annual session of the Ancient Egyptian and Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, which will be held in Detroit, Mich., from Aug. 23 to 25 inclusive. The Mystic Shriners of Detroit are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the visitors, who will number several hundred. A parade has been planned as well as a number of social functions. Jacob T. Wright of Richmond. Va., has been the im- C The Daughters of Isla, composed of the wives and daughters of the Shrinera, will gather at the same time to organize an imperial court. Preperous Year For Sunday Schools. The recent annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Baptist Sunday school convention and the Baptist Young People's union, held jointly at Pittsburgh, was the most largely attended in the history of the two organizations. There were forty-two schools represented, and the receipts amounted to $472.01. William Strothers was elected president, succeeding John S. Trower of Philadelphia, who declined a re-election on account of ill health. Mr. Trower was, however, made honorary president for life in recognition of his long years of service as president. No Vote For Negroes in Oklahoma. Returns from the recent elections in Oklahoma show that the Democrats party carried the state in favor of disfranchising the Negro. The total Negro vote of the state is 14,000. Joe Bann, Ex-Lightweight Champions, Sugaree to Duggar-One In the death of Joe Gane, ex-lightweight champion of the world, which occurred at the home of his mother in Baltimore early Wednesday morning, Aug. 10, the pugilistic fraternity lost one of its brightest stars. The last public appearance of the plucky little fighter was on the stage of the Gayet theater, New York, during the engagement of Battling Nelson. There were at his bedside when he died his mother, wife, Kid North, an old time pugilist, who accompanied him from Arizona; Miss Tligham, the nurse, and Colonel Daniel Pendleton, his lifelong friend. He was thirty-six years of age. Gans was a victim of tuberculosis. She following facts as to how he began his pugilistic career when a mere 20 working for a small pittance were taken from his diary: "Once the boss and his brother and each put up $1.70, and we bought a set of five dollar boxing gloves. I got too good for the other boys, so they made me box two of them at a time. "My first fight was to a finish with another kid. My boxing with two boys at once had taught me how to block and dodge and lead, so I won my first real fight, which was for a two dollar side bet and a collection of $5.40. It looked like a lot of money to me, and I just had to win. I took the money home to my mother. "My next fight was for three rounds, and the purse was $8. Then I began picking up little fights, meeting the boxers and wrestlers who traveled around giving exhibitions and earning a few dollars here and there. I took it all home to my mother." CHURCH PULPIT VACANT. Rev. J. London Isaac Leaves Nazaree Congreational Church. The pulpit of the Nazarene Congregational church, Brooklyn, is again vacant. The Rev. J. London Isaacs, whom the church called as pastor something more than a year ago, has resigned. The Rev. A. J. Henry, whose death occurred a few years ago, served the church faithfully for eighteen years. He was well known in Brooklyn and was regarded as one of the best educated pastors among Afro-Americans. After the death of the Rev. Mr. Henry the pulpit was filled from time to time by different pastors of the city until the Rev. Mr. Isaacs accepted the pastorate. He is a native of Demerara, British Guiana, South America. The resignation of the Rev. Mr. Isaacs is not the result of any disagreement on the part of the pastor and congregation. On the other hand, the relations between the pastor and the church have been of the most peaceful and agreeable nature. Rev. Mr. Isaacs resigns of his own free will and has accepted the call of the Plymouth Congregational church, Charleston, N. C., which is fostered by the American Missionary association. The church is fortunate in having on its board of trustees several well qualified and responsible men, who have guided its finances in such a way as to secure a new church edifice, in which it recently began holding services. Progress Noted In Negroes Getting Together For Mutual Betterment. It is an encouraging sign of progress among our business and professional men and farmers to see them get together once a year for mutual interchange of views. Nothing is more helpful to those of similar occupation than personal contact. We are getting in touch for political betterment too. This is a move in the right direction. If other men seek to minimize our rights as citizens it is our God given right and imperative duty to demand that which is right according to law. In a republic like ours every citizen has a constitutional right to be heard on all matters affecting the body politic, especially in the matter of election to public office by the suffrage of the people. The Negro should not ask for more than that which is due him in common with other citizens. Fraud Sighted in Fraternal Society. Under the caption "Big Steal In White Fraternity" the Portland (Ore.) Advocate of July 16 says: "The state of Illinois insurance commission has sufficient evidence to convict certain men in a fraternal insurance society of fraud, and it promises to develop into something serious. "The principals and all concerned are white, and we only mention it not because of the criminal element exhibited in the Caucasian, but rather because it demonstrates the fact that the oaths and vows of fraternal brotherhood hold no great significance for them." Concord Literary Circle Opens Sept. 8. The officers of the Concord Literary circle, Brooklyn, are arranging a three months' program for the fall meetings of the organization, which begin on Thursday evening, Sept. 8.
