OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD, ED POST, WHILE ADDRESSING THE DELEGATES IN ATTENDANCE. IMPARTED SOME SOUND AND P THEY DID NOT LIKE TO HEAR Special Correspondent to The Broad Ax. New York City, August 22, 1910—The so-called National Negro business League has come, disgusted many decent New Yorkers, and gone, but the injury it has inflicted on the race will linger for many years. The objects of the League are many: 1. To glorify Bookef T. Washington. 2. To bring to public notice the boot-lickers who follow him. 3. To show to the country that the Negroes are satisfied with their condition and are willing to give up their civil and political rights provided their bellies are kept filled. 4. To spread abroad prejudice against the race so that Negroes in certain lines of business may profit thereby. Of course these objects are not announced in their literature, but those who have followed the course of the League since its inception, and noticed its tendencies are satisfied that the above is a correct outline of its origin. No organization in the country is doing more to injure the race than the National "Nigger" Business League. I use the word, "Nigger" advisedly, because many of its members are proud to be known as "Niggers" or "Darkeys." One Scott Bond of Arkansas made a speech, saying that he was proud to be known as a "Nigger." He did not say Negro, but "Nigger" and the writer heard him say it. The press agents employed by the League, and there were a number of them, at once got busy and had this statement wired over the country. There were other things said at the League which would have looked better in print, for there are some book-learned men among the members, but the managers were anxious to get the "Nigger" business to the front, so the wires were kept hot with stuff like that. It was figured out that Bond was worth $4,000,000, but Bond, ignorant Negro that he is, concluded that that was putting it too strong, and come out in a card, after Booker T. had sailed, saying that he was worth only $40,000. The Negro Business League is a fake. The president is not a business man, but the head of a school and a politician. The recording secretary is not a business man, but private secretary and politician. Not more than half of the officers and members of the executive committee are actually in business and the same is true of the membership. A Close Corporation. The National Negro Business League is a close corporation, the majority having no rights except to pay the annual dues. The committee on nomination of officers, names the persons selected by Booker Washington and the list is read and voted on and adopted, without any opportunity being given for other nominations to be made. However, that would probably not make much difference as there are few insurgents in the League and bold would be the one who would oppose Boss Booker's will. A Real "Nigger" Meeting. The League was a "Nigger" meeting from start to finish. Every day some Colored vaudeville ladies sang "coon" songs and one day Bert Williams got HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX off some of his funny business. Bert is all right but the business meeting is not the place for a stunt like that. At every session Major Moten of Hampton tried to have the audience sign the old southern cornfield tunes, but the people were so intractable that Moten was irritated and rebuked the audience for not joining heartily in the jubilee tunes. He seemed to regret that the Negro had advanced and would pull the race back to the slavery days, which he says were so beneficial to the Negro. The Attendance Exaggerated. The reports sent out by the League that there were 1,100 delegates in attendance is absolutely false. I saw C. F. Adams, the railroad ticket man, running around like a hen on a hot griddle, trying to get together too tickets so that the railroads would allow the reduced rates and then Booker would frown if he did not make good. He was very much worried, but finally gathered together a few more than the required number. Of course there were others who traveled on preachers and mileage tickets, but 200 is a liberal estimate of the number who actually came from a distance as delegates to the league meeting. The league people have a way of swelling the membership by purchasing badges at $2 each for friends at home and in the reports these are listed as delegates although they were not within hundreds of miles of the meeting. Many Lies Told. Negroes who were barely able to scrape together money enough to pay their fares to New York stood up and lied about the enormous fortunes they had made. There was of course some truth told, but the tendency was to exaggerate everything and to would be a safer divisor to use on nearly every bunch of figures given out. Washington's Speech Advance copies of what purported to be Booker Washington's annual address were sent out to the Colored newspapers, but the speech Mr. Washington delivered was very much different. It had evidently been revised after the advance copies had been mailed. The League was not wholly bad; there was one redeeming feature and that was the speech of Oswald Garrison Villard, a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison. If the leaguers had known what he would say it is not likely that he would have been invited to participate. Mr. Villard told the league people that well-filled bellies are not the only things to strive for. He said that he was astonished to find that the Negroes were not fighting to retain the rights they now have and seeking to regain the ones they have lost. He said that the manhood rights of the race ought to be placed above money making. He closed by saying that the work being done by the committee of which Mr. DuBois is secretary is more important than that of any other organization in the country. John E. Owens candidate for judge of the county court, continues to meet with encouragement among the voters in all parts of Cook County, and thousands of them are thoroughly convinced; that he possesses the legal training and all the other necessary qualifications to make a tie-top judge. CHICAGO, AUGUST 27, 1910. NORLE O. JURAH JR. NOBLE B. JUDAH JR. Lawyer, native born Chicagoan, good citizen, who will make an honest law-maker, and Republican candidate for the legislature, from the First Senatorial District. Noble B. Judah Jr., Republican candidate for member of the legislature of Illinois from the first senatorial district, comprising the first and second wards, needs no introduction to the many thousand readers, of The Broad Ax, for he is to the manner born, as he came into this grand old world in the old second ward, well on to 20 years ago and from his boyhood down to the present time, except while away attending school, he has resided in the second ward, at 2701 Prairie avenue, and it can be truthfully said that no one knows the wants and needs of the people residing in the first senatorial district better than he, for he is one of them from top to bottom. and after rounding out his classical education there, he became a very promising law student, at the Northwestern University Law School, and since his graduation from it with the usual high honors and his admission to the bar, it has become a member of the big law firm of Judah, Willard, Wolf, and Reichman, 206 La Salle street which honored father Noble B. Judah, stand at its head and imparts wisdom unto a who seek it. Possessing broad and liberal view along religious lines and other important subjects or questions of the day and representing the highest type of young American manhood, Mr. Judah has for sometime been the superintendent. His early training along educational lines was received at the old Douglas school, where the sons and the daughters of many of the most prominent as well as the humblest citizens both white and Colored, on the South side, first laid the foundation for their education, in the course of time Mr. Judah attended the Chicago Manual Training school, and after finishing up his studies there, he entered that great educational institution, the Brown University, Providence Rhode, Island, from which he graduated with high honors COL. CARY B. LEWIS BRINGS ONE DEAD MAN TO LIFE AGAIN. Col. Cary B. Lewis, the regular staff correspondent in this city for a weekly newspaper, published at Indianapolis. Ind., is proving himself to be the brightest newspaper writer in this country. His contributions to that paper last week contained a full account of the departure of the Eighth Regiment for its encampment at Peoria, Ill., and after relating the fact that "he would be the special highly honored guest of the Regiment. he went on to relate in mentioning the officers of the Regiment, that "Harvey A. Thompson, is still its adjutant-general, that he is a native of Ohio, that he is a graduate of the public schools of Columbus, and attended Fisk University and received his literary education at this institution and La Moyne College. Since his stay in Chicago he has been identified with all movements for the good of the race and is highly connected politically. He is one of the most valuable adjuncts to the Eighth Regiment, being a splendid bookkeeper and a man of broad business affairs." And as Harvey A. Thompson, folded his arms in death in New York City, two or three years ago, and up to that time he had not resided in Chicago since 1901, nor visited it for one hour, since that time. and after rounding out his classical education there, he became a very promising law student, at the Northwestern University Law School, and since his graduation from it with the usual high honors and his admission to the bar, he has become a member of the big law firm of Judah, Willard, Wolf, and Reichman, 206 La Salle street which his honored father Noble B. Judah, stands at its head and imparts wisdom unto all who seek it. Possessing broad and liberal views along religious lines and other important subjects or questions of the day, and representing the highest type of young American manhood, Mr. Judah has for sometime been the superintendent of the Sunday school at St. Paul's Universalist church, 30th and Prairie avenue, and like his noble father, he has ever been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans, and his sympathies have always gone out to those who are earnestly striving to climb upward and orward, and the decent element among the Afro-Americans residing in the first and second wards, will at the primaries September 15 and at the election in November record their votes in favor, of Noble B. Judah, Jr., for one of the members of the legislature of Illinois. Therefore it would seem that Col. Lewis is capable of bringing one dead man to life again: SIX NEGRO PRIESTS EDUCATED IN AMERICA Rev. Stephen Theobald, who graduated from St. Paul's seminary this Summer, and was ordained a priest, is the youngest of six Negro Roman Catholic priests that have been educated in this country. The first was Rev. Augustin Tolton. He was a native of Illinois, came of slave parents, was ordained in the Propaganda, Rome, in 1888, and became pastor of St. Monica's Church, Chicago, where he died some years ago. The other priests are: Rev. Charles R. Uncles, who was the second to be ordained. He was born in Baltimore, was ordained in the cathedral, that city, in 1891, by Cardinal Gibbons, and is a professor in Epiphany Apostolic college, Walbrook. Baltimore. Rev. John H. Dorsey was the third. He was born in Baltimore, ordained in the cathedral there by Cardinal Gibbons, and is now attached to St. Joseph's college for Negro catechists, Montgomery, Ala. Father Dorsey was followed by Rev. Joseph Flattenburg. Father Plantevigne is a native of Louisiana. He is assistant pastor of the church of St. Francis Xavier- Interesting Meeting of the State Federation of Colored Womens Clubs At Peoria, Illinois. Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis Elected President For the Coming Year. Several Prominent White Ladie's Attended It's Sessions and Addressed the Gathering. The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which convened at Peoria, Ill. Aug. 17, 18, 19 and 20 held the most interesting meeting since its organization to years ago. The large assemblage of delegates from all over this state and the discussions of live questions effecting the welfare of the race and the community at large, give evidence that our club women are wide awake and doing a great work. The great interest manifested in these great problems and the capable women representing the different phases of our civic life bespeaks the future success of this organization. The election of officers was the most peaceful and speedy ever held by a state body. It took just 45 minutes to elect the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, unanimously elected president; 1 vice-pres. Mrs. Ella Stanford, Peoria, Ill.; 2 vice-pres. Mrs. Anna Anderson, Decoye, Ill.; 3rd vice-pres. Mrs. Sarah Allen, Galesburg, Ill.; 4th, Mrs. Ella Syms, Monmouth; 5th, Mrs. Anna Gillis, Alton, Ill.; Recording Sec.'s. Baltimore, which is for the exclusive use of Negroes. The fifth Colored priest is Rev. Joseph A. Burgess, C. S. Sp. Father Burgess was born in Washington, (D. C. He is a member of the faculty of the Holy Ghost Apostolic college, Cornwells, Pa. Father Theobald, the youngest of the six Negro priests, was born in British Gulana, and is about 35 years old. He was educated in the Cathedral common school, Georgetown, St. ,Stanislaus college, Cambridge, Eng., university, and Queen's college British Gulana. He also studied law but only practiced a short time. He then turned to journalism, becoming attached to the editorial staff of the Montreal Daily Star. In December 1905, he entered St. Paul's seminary, St. Paul, under the patronage of Archbishop Ireland.—Ex NATIONAL FORESTS AS NATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS. Washington, D. C., August 25. Before the year's outing season is over nearly half a million persons will have sought recreation and health in the National Forests of the United States. According to the record of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the total last year was, in close figures, 406,775. With the finest mountain scenery and much of the best fishing and big-game hunting in the United States, the National Forests, made more and more accessible each year through protection and development by the Government, are fast becoming great National playgrounds for the people. The use of the Forests for recreation is as yet in its beginning, but is growing steadily and rapidly—in some of the Forests at the rate of a hundred per cent per annum. The day seems not far distant when a million persons will annually visit them. The records show that the seasonal use of the Forests runs from two months in a Colorado Forest, such as the Routt, to twelve months in an Alaskan, such as the Tongass. But the uses differ. In Colorado the 2,000 visitors entered the Forest to fish; to camp, to climb, and to drink the medicinal waters; in Alaska the 1,000 almost solely to hunt and fish. The 21,000 persons who went into the Coconino Forest, Arizona, during nine months, went to camp or to enjoy the scenery. During four months 50,000 persons visited the Angeles, Califor- Meeting the Federation of Womens Clubs Ebeth Lindsay Davis Elected. The Coming Year. Jie's Attended It's Sessions and the Gathering.

Several prominent white women representing their clubs and the Juvenile court work of Peoria were present and addressed the meeting. The next convention will be held in Monmouth, Ill., in 1911. nia. The most popular of the Forests is the Pike, containing the famous peak of that name. The various attractions within its limits, including the scenic railway, drew 100,000 tourists and others. By principal States the National Forest visitors numbered 23,000 in Arizona, 103,000 in California, 140,000 in Colorado, 19,000 in Montana, 10,000 in New Mexico 33,000 in Oregon, 22,000 in Idaho, 16,000 in Utah, and 12,000 in Washington. Of the natural wonders and landmarks of interest in the National Forests several have been set apart as National Monuments, among them Cinder Cone, a great basin in California; the Gila Cliff Dwellings, extensive remains of a prehistoric race in New Mexico; the unsurpassed Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in Ariz.; Jewel Cave, South Dakota; Lassen Peak, the terminus of a long line of extinct volcanoes in the Cascades; the Pinnacles, a collection of remarkable jagged peaks in California; and the Tonto, a group of prehistoric ruins in the Tonto Forest in Arizona. The Big Trees, Glacier Park, the Petrified Forest, the Oregon Caves, and numerous other phenomena serve to attract other hosts of visitors. The sportsman finds his paradise in the National Forests. In many of them big game abounds. The rangers and the guards, besides the service they perform against the spread of fire, often point out the best site for the campea and the easiest route. A record of 9,218 miles of trail out, 1,236 miles of road laid out, and 4,851 miles of telephone line strung tells what the Government has done in the way of pushing the conveniences of civilization into the primeval forest. The day of the wilderness of the savage and the pioneer is swiftly passing; the day of the National Forests as productive resources and as National park approaches. The report of last year's administration by the U. S. Department of Agriculture evidences the rapidity of the transformation. Attorney Harry P. Dolan, with offices in the First National Bank Building; who has the strong backing of Alderman John S. Clark of the 35th ward, in his race for Judge of the Municipal Court; will make things hum from now until primary day, September 15, and the voters will be benefiting themselves, by assisting Mr. Dolan, to come across, and enable him to serve as one of the municipal judges.

The baby must have clean pure milk if it is to live and grow up strong and vigorous. But along with good milk, babies must have plenty of air and exercise. Babies do not develop and get strong when they are kept in cribs and baby carriages all the time. Many mothers are so afraid that their babies will get hurt when they are trying to learn to walk, that they will not let them tumble around or use their little legs at this Is wrong. Exercise is as important a factor in aiding the baby's growth and digestion as is the food it eats. A baby that is cuddled and coddled all the time either in its crib or carriage or in the nurse's lap will generally not be able to digest its food, although it may be of the proper kind and best in quality. But give the same baby plenty of out-door air and exercise, it will have good digestion and will grow and thrive as a baby should. As a matter of fact air and exercise are fully half the battle in keeping the baby well. On this subject a noted physician says that parents should not be content with simply keeping the baby alive. We want not only live babies, but we want them healthy and well-developed physically. When a baby is able to walk and is in the second year, exercise is a most important aid to good digestion, and this of course, means proper development of the body. "At eighteen months of age, exercise," says the same physician, "is especially valuable." And if an infant of this age is allowed to play on the grass in the open air, in the shade if the weather is hot, it will eat and digest food that would kill it if kept heavily clothed, strapped in a go-cart and wheeled about the streets A plot of grass with a quilt spread down, is a fine place the baby to roll and kick about on; of course being careful to protect it from the direct rays of the sun. And this all means that right food, right feeding, with good air and exercise, will keep the baby well.

The services of the Negro legislators of Ohio and Illinois in their antitynching legislation, which so rigidly stopped lynch laws in Illinois, and is now making an Ohio county pay $5,000 to the family of its victim, are securing widespread approbation. The Literary Digest of July 30, in commenting upon the recent lynching at Newark, Ohio, and quoting from the West Virginia Advocate, a Negro journal, says: "And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race which has suffered most from mob violence." The Negro legislator in Ohio and Illinois if he had done nothing more than to secure these acts which provide the best cure yet found for the ill that disgraces the nation has greatly justified his election.—From The New York Age, August 18, 1910. As it has been stated numerous "That a white sheriff should be removed from office for failure to protect a white prisoner from mob violence and that the county should be compelled to pay a substantial sum of money to the heirs of the man lynched, that all this should have to be done in compliance with statutes written by Negroes is strange, passing strange, but none the less true. "It was more than a coincidence, it was really the irony of fate that Harry C. Smith. Negro editor of the Cleveland Gazette, fathered in the Ohio Legislature the law requiring counties to pay the heirs of persons lynched $5,000. This law was afterward successfully engineered through the Illinois Legislature by the Negro member, Edward D. Green. Then Smith's successor, H. T. Eubanks, another Negro from Cleveland borrowed from Illinois the law, introduced by a Negro member, providing for the removal of a sheriff in whose county a luncheon occurred. Mrs. Monroe L. Manning gave a formal reception in honor of her daughter Miss Edna Beatrice and Miss Evelyn V. Carter of Washington, D.

Miss Minnie Butler of San Antonio, Texas who has lately visited this city is attending the Business League in N. Y. City. She expects to return to Chicago this week. The visitors who attended the Swastika Club's "July Afternoon at Home," reported a delightful afternoon spent. They are anxious to know when the club will give another. At Home. A VERY SWELL AFFAIR. CHIPS "And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race, which has suffered most from mob violence." The Negro legislator in Ohio and Illinois if he had done nothing more than to secure these acts which provide the best cure yet found for the ill that disgraces the nation has greatly justified his election—From The New York Age, August 18, 1910. As it has been stated numerous times before, in these columns that Edward D. Green, aside from Maj. John C. Buckner, accomplished more, while he was a member of the legislature of Illinois, in the way of having wholesome legislation enacted and placed on its statute books, than all of the other Colored memebrs of that body combined. His anti-lynching law and mob bill, will in time be adopted, by many of the most progressive states in the union, for it is the most effective way to stop the onward march of riots, mob and lynch law, and lawlessness in general, and as the old saying goes, Mr. Green, builted wiser than he knew, when he quietly and skillfully engineered his measures, through the legislature of this state and as there is more legislation needed along similar lines, it would be well indeed for the voters residing in the first legislative district, to see to it that he is again elected to the legislature of Illinois, at the November election. Miss Crittenden, a teacher in the public schools of Memphis, Tenn., is visiting at 3714 Wabash ave. Mrs. Wm.
