The platforms adopted by both parties sound very nice on reading them but whichever party is successful at the polls in November it is not expected that any of the candidates elected will live up to them for as a general thing they are made to run on and not to stand on after election Charles W.

Joseph H. Finn, and his other warm backers and supporters feel confident that Mr. Graham will outdistance all his competitors in the primary race next spring. The leaders of the Democratic party in old Missouri are fishing after the votes of their Colored brethren, for at the Democratic state convention held in that state last week, the leaders of the party aside from endorsing Joseph W. Folk for President of the United States in 1912, went on record in reference to the civil and political status of the Negro as follows: WHAT DO YOU EAT FOR LUNCHEON? What do you eat for your noonday lunch? Do you select it for the good it will do you, or because it appeals to your taste? And, do you take time to chew it properly? Thousands are compelled to do pend upon the lunch room for their mid-day meal.

It never has and will not discriminate against the Negro race, either by criminal laws or on the question of their right to franchise, and we deplore the action of the present chief executive of this state in seeking to make political capital by creating race antagonism." It would be well indeed if the leaders of the Democratic party in other states would follow in the footsteps of the leaders of the Democratic party of Missouri, in this respect. COL.

If people would only choose with discretion the food which makes the needed energy for their daily work, how many outraged stomachs would gratefully respond and do their duty well instead of making a life burden to the foolish ones who eat whatever they think "tastes good." Wholesome, nourishing food is what is needed. Milk, eggs, rare beef, soups, vegetables and fruits—all take their place in favor of the worker, as against the soggy pastry, poor coffee, worse tea and the countless other—'bakery' lunches offered to the public. And if we are tired, have had a hurried, busy morning, it is well to rest a few moments before giving an already tired system more work to do in the labor of digesting a meal. Far better at such a time would it be to do without, instead of eating hurriedly. Those mothers whose children cannot return from school for a simple home-cooked meal, should investigate conditions around the school house, and insist that the children be given nothing that is not nourishing and good. The safer way is to give them a little luncheon to carry from home, than to allow them to ruin health and future strength and vitality by poorly cooked, indigestible food, or quantities of pastry and candy, stuffs that are now so easily procured at the stores and lunch rooms near the school house. Attorney B. F.

Wright Won One of the Greatest Legal Battle of their Lives. ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, BEFORE HIS HONOR JUDGE RICHARD S. TUTHILL. IN THE CELEBRATED STEPHEN GREEN CASE, WHO DECLARED AFTER LISTENING TO THE MANY AUTHORITIES PRESENTED TO HIM COVERING THE LAW POINTS INVOLVED IN THE CASE. THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THIS CITY HAD NO RIGHT TO SURRENDER GREEN TO THE SHERIFF FROM ARKANSAS. THEREFORE HE WAS ORDERED DISCHARGED FROM THEIR CUSTODY. PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28 AT QUINN CHAPEL, AT WHICH TIME STEPHEN GREEN, WILL RELATE THE TRUE STORY OF HIS FLIGHT FROM ARKANSAS. Stephen Green, who was charged with murdering a white gentleman, by the name of Will Seidle, down in the state of Arkansas, and who fled from that state, and was branded as a fugitive from justice, had his final day in court Monday, September 19th, before his honor Judge Richard S. Tuthill, and he was brought up before him on a writ of Habeas Corpus, and the Attorneys for Steve Green, waged one of the greatest legal battles of their lives; and they were Edward H. Wright and William G. Anderson. Mr. Wright led off in the hotly contested legal fight, at half past nine o'clock in the morning and at four o'clock in the afternoon he had cited and read from more than 40 authorities from the United States Supreme Court down to almost every state in the union, including the state of Arkansas, and when he had finished referring to and elaborating extensively to the law and technicalities governing and bearing upon the case, at bar. Judge Tuthill, was thoroughly convinced that he was treading on safe and sound ground, that the indictment and other papers in the case had been poorly drawn, and that the chances were, that the governor of Arkansas, could not be considered a first class lawyer, and possibly not one at all; if so he would not have attached his signature to such poorly constructed extradition papers. Therefore, the relator is discharged from the custody of the court, from the officers of the police department of this city and from all other officers, within the jurisdiction of the circuit court of Cook County. Too much praise cannot be given to Attorneys Edward H. Wright and William G. Anderson for the great legal part they played in the celebrated Green case. This case was one of the most peculiar, as well as the most far-reaching one of its kind tried before in the history of extradition matters before the bar of the State of Illinois. Steve Green, a Colored man was charged with the murder of Will Seidle, a white man in Arkansas and is alleged to have fled from the justice of that state and was apprehended and arrested in Chicago. Extradition papers were issued by the Governor of Arkansas and honored by the Governor of Illinois for Green's return to the State of Arkansas, but when it was brought to the attention of some of the humanitarians of the race, among others, Attorney Wm. G. Anderson, Lawyer Edward H. Wright, and Rev. A. J. Carey, by that watchdog of human life and liberty, Mrs. Kia B. Wels Barnett, that an irreparable injustice was about to be perpetrated upon a defenseless man, these men at once began to get busy and went to the Circuit Court asking for a Writ of Habesas Corpus to stay the extradition. They served notice on the Chicago Police department through Chief Steward, Asst. No.51 am G. Anderson H. Wright Won Greatest Legal their Lives. FORE HIS HONOR JUDGE RICHARD.

The sheriff of Cook County was immediately notified and from that office every method known to modern ingenuity was put into effect to intercept the prisoner before crossing the line of the State. Telegraph, telephone, and wireless telegraph were called into commission, bearing the news that the sheriff of Cook County had a Writ of Habeas Corpus for the return of Green to the jurisdiction of the Courts of Cook County. When the hour of 5:30 arrived and those keeping vigil knew that the train must be nearing Cairo, Illinois, the stoutest heart quivered and the weaker hearts stood still, for the last faint hope seemed to be glimmering away into failure, but at the last moment word came from Sheriff J. D. Nellis of Alexander County that if he was assured that he was acting within his legal rights, he would both prehend and return the prisoner to the jurisdiction of the Court of Cook County. In a few moments the sheriffs of the two counties were in telephonic consultation with the result that Steve Green was returned to Chicago to be held awaiting the decision of the judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Judge Tuthill. Never before in Chicago was there such a trial, rivaling as it did even the old underground scenes of a half century past. The court room was crowded with men and women of both races, but unlike the scenes of the past, this man was ably represented by his own race in the persons of Attorneys E. H. Wright and W. G. Anderson. Mr. Barge, the assistant corporation counsel and one of the ablest attorneys in that office represented the state but could find no flaw in the arguments of the accused's attorneys and Steve Green is free and a president has been established, not only for this state but for every state north of the Mason and Dixon line. The alleged crime is best told in Steve Green's own way as he narrated it before Judge Tuthill on the morning after he was apprehended at Calro by Sheriff Nellis. In a simple straightforward way he told of being employed for some years under contract by Seidle—that he had been offered more money by a neighboring farmer—he was receiving but a bare pittance, scarcely enough to be called wages—that he informed his employer that after his contract expired he was going to work for another man who offered him more money—that Seidle told him if he went to work for another, the county would not Continued on page 2.

Says Colored Man in London of Fiendish Work of White South—Claims Jim Crow Cars and Disfranchisement Growing Less—Attempt to Make Europeans Believe White South Not So Bad. Bold Misrepresentation for Benefit of Oppressors—Increase of Jim-Crow Carism and Disfranchisement Is Notorious—Covers Up Sin of White South so Race Will Get Less Sympathy Abroad. (New York Herald, Paris Edition, Aug. 29, 1910.) London, Monday.—Discussing the general condition of the Negro race in America with a "Standard" representative, Mr. Booker Washington said: "There is progress, both moral and material, to report in the condition of the Negro, and there is also an improvement in the relations between the two races. People in Europe always hear the worst. You do not hear of progress as quickly as you do of lynchings. If the Colored people build a college or found a bank it is not noticed. Less Jim-Crow Cars.—This is a Misrepresentation.—Cannot Get Pull-Man Tickets in Some States. "The racial bar is fast disappearing in business in the South, where Negro shops, banks and factories are patronized by both races. There is practically no social mingling of the two races, but the law regarding the segregation of the Negro on the railways, for instance, are being less stringently applied, and some few Negroes travel in the Pullman cars now-a-days. Flagrant Microrepresentation as to Disfranchisement in South. "Of course, the great distinction in the treatment of the two races is in the field of politics. The franchise is restricted in all the Southern states by property qualifications and the demand that the voter shall know how to vote intelligently. John E. Milholland of New York City, one of the very best friends that the Negro race has in this country, happened to be in London, at the same time that Booker T. Washington etruck there and his reply to his many misstatements as to the true, racial conditions in the South follows: Rejoinder to Dr. Booker Washington. To the Editor of "The Standard." Sir.-I have just read, in a belated copy of your paper, an interview with my friend, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Knowing the doctor as I do, it seems quite certain that he had no thought of indulging in sensational statements, and yet I am sure that no American citizen familiar with race conditions in the United States will read what he says with other than a feeling of amazement. He says that "a few Negroes" are now permitted to ride on sleeping cars in the South, as though this were a triumph worth recording—that American citizens are actually afforded facilities for sleep that are not denied, even in railroad transportation, to horses, hogs, and cattle. Absurd though it is, I should very much like to know who are the "few Negroes," aside from Dr. Washington himself, that have this "privilege" accorded them. I am sure it is not our Dr. Du Bois of the Atlanta University, because at the last race confer- [Name] Prominent and successful attorney Ex-Commissioner of Cook County, who led off in the great legal battle in Judge Tuthill's court which finally ended in the liberation of Stephen Green, from the police officers of this city and from the sheriff of Arkansas.

ANDERSON, WON ONE OF THE GREATEST BATTLES OF THEIR LIVES. had closed in death and whom he had befriended in Chicago, are teeming with interest—his arrest and journey back to Arkansas, with the Concluded from page 1. hold them both—he and Green—that as soon as his contract expired he left Seidle and went to work for another man—that Mr. Seidle came to his cabin with three friends on horseback, and refusing to go back to work for him, Seidle shot him four times, once in the arm—that he then went into his cabin and got his gun and shooting over his other arm shot once—as he was running away—that he then took refuge in a cabin of friends, where he was hidden for a short time, but the hue and cry was so strong over the country that the friends feared to keep him longer—that he filled his shoes with pepper to cause the bloodhounds which had been put on his track, to lose the scent—coming on a drove of hogs wallowing in the mud he stumbled into their midst and rolled himself in the midst and blood hounds to lose the trail and how he finally got out of the state of Arkansas—his betrayal by a boy whose father's eyes Green ence in New York he had to come the way of his race; that is to say, this brilliant graduate of Harvard University, this student of Heidelberg and member of the International Law Association, this recognized authority on Sociology, this gifted speaker whose speech in New York last spring was pronounced by Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, the "ablest economic address" ever delivered, to his knowledge, in the metropolis—is compelled to travel on a "Jim Crow" car from Atlanta to Washington, although his personal appearance and habits are such as to make him a welcome guest at the tables of all unprejudiced people in Europe or America. If Dr. Washington will give me the list of the "few Negroes" who are favored with the accommodations denied to Dr. Du Bois and the other real leaders of Colored thought and opinion, I will undertake to furnish the reasons why these gentlemen are singled out for this remarkable distinction. Does Dr. Washington desire them to be stated? Yet more bewildering still is Dr. Washington's other contention that the whites and blacks are dwelling together "more harmoniously" than heretofore. This would be really a faecal declaration were the background not so ghastly tragic. "Harmony" is a bold characterization to employ within sixty days after that little affair down in Texas, which resulted in the murder of no fewer than sixty Colored men. Some were lynched, some were shot down in the fields while at work, others were dragged from their homes at night and kicked, clubbed, shot, or stabbed to death, and the cause of it all was an ordinary street, brawl between a white man and a Colored man, in which the white man received the worst of it! I have no objection to Dr. Washington or any other professed authority on the subject coming here to tell the people of the old countries about the progress of the Negroes, for it is worthy of all possible commendation; there is nothing like it in human history—where a race has lifted itself up from illiterate slavery to a condition where illiteracy has been reduced one-half in forty-five years. What I insist on is that the other side of the picture shall also be shown, and that must be shown even if for no other purpose than to obtain the full significance of the black man's progress in America. He has come up through trial, cruelty, outrage, and injustice unspeakable, and the fact that though the victim of anarchy it has not made him an anarchist, nor has mob violence robbed him of respect for the law, and that he is still had closed in death and whom he had befriended in Chicago, are teaming with interest—his arrest and journey back to Arkansas, with the thought and certain feeling that he was to be hanged since the man in whose custody he was, told him that he was the most important "Nigger in the United States since there was a reception committee of a thousand waiting for him in Arkansas with a lighted fire." His rescue by Sheriff Nellis at Cairo, Illinois, just on the doorstep of certain death, are all thrilling and vital enough to remind one of the many miraculous escapes of our fore fathers in slavery days. Wednesday evening, September 28th, Steve Green will tell his own story at Quinn Chapel. Those who have been interested in the case, who have contributed to its final result, financially or otherwise, will be amply repaid when they hear from his own lips the story of one who has been snatched from the jaws of death as it were in the most horrible form it can come to human beings—lynching. His lawyers, Edward H. Wright, William G. Anderson, Dr. Cook and others will speak and the public is cordially invited to attend the meeting. loyal to the Government which has shamed itself in refusing to defend him, its valiant defender, surely speaks volumes in favor of the doctrine that to no portion of the human race is denied the power of attainment. Mob law has been under way for more than twenty years. The United States of America has seen on the average a lynching of one of its citizens every other day in the year, and it has just witnessed, almost without emotion, a massacre in Texas that, had it happened in India or Egypt, would have convulsed the Empire and led to such drastic action on the part of the Imperial authorities as would make the repetition of such things impossible. I frankly admit that Dr. Washington's course is the more immediately popular, but there is no one knows better than he the tormenting truths of the situation, however industriously he mak seek to avoid them. BRUNETTE A COLORED WOMAN? NO! SUES. Wants $25,000 Because Forced to Ride in Colored Compartment. (Special to The Broad Ax.) Kokomo, Ind.—Miss Rella Mitchell, teacher of grammar and literature in the Kokomo public schools, a pronounced brunette, has sued the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company in the Bourbon Circuit Court, Kentucky, for damages in the sum of $25,000. She alleges that while she was riding over the Maysville branch of the road, from Millersburg, Ky. she was mistaken for a Colored Woman, and was humiliated by being forced by Conductor Robert Lusk to ride in the Negro compartment. This shows that there are at least some persons who claim to be white, are not one whit lighter than many Colored people.—Editor. APPLICATION FOR PARDON.

BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH CEL EBRATED ITS NINTH ANNIVERSARY. Monday evening, Berean Baptist Church, 4838 Dearborn street, celebrated its ninth anniversary, and accorded to its pastor Rev. W. S. Braddan, a warm reception, at the same time extending to him the glad hand. The church was tastefully decorated with American flags which extended clear across its end and were furnished by Col. John R. Marshall. It was crowded to the full with its members and friends, who enjoyed the fine repast prepared by the ladies, at the long banquet tables. R. G. Bell who was one of the founders of the church, in introducing the master of ceremonies, Rev S. A. Matthews, pastor of Friendship Baptist church, gave a short history of Berean and the struggles it had passed through on its road to its ninth anniversary; starting out with twelve members It now has 290 active members. owning its own building and ground where it has been located for over seven years, and at the present time it is buying a lot for a new church, corner 52nd and Dearborn streets which will be as nice as any church among the Afro-Americans on the south side when completed. W. H. A. Moore, was introduced by the master of ceremonies as the first speaker of the evening, and the toasts responded to, were as follows: "The value of a pastor in a community," W. H. A. Moore. The value of a Negro newspaper in the community." Julius F. Taylor. Co-operation Rev. J. H. T. Walls, "Despise not the day of small beginning." Rev. White, who is one of the old wheel horses in the Baptist church. "The pastor in the sick room," Mr. Allen Hawley. "Rev. Braddan, the preacher," Rev. Jordan Chavis, Rev. Braddan, "The Soldier." Col. John R. Marshall, who at considerable length dwelt on the soldier side of his life, showing that his father before him was a soldier belonging to the 24th Regiment of U. S. soldiers, Rev. Braddan, himself being born in an army wagon which was drawn by two mules at the time of his birth, and being a member of the 8th Regiment Illinois National Guards, a private in the ranks, he takes to soldiering as naturally, as a duck takes to water. At the conclusion of the speaking Rev. Braddan, very fittingly thanked those who had given expression to so many kindly sentiments in relation to himself and the good work he is accomplishing and has accomplished during the nine years that he has resided, in the community, as the able and eloquent pastor of Berean Baptist church. TO HEAVEN BY PRIVATE CAR. Bolton Hall in The Independent (New York.) "But, Saint Peter," protested the Beneficient Millionaire, "I got my money in accrdance with the law." "Yes," said Saint Peter, "You've had the credit of that already, haven't you? What good have you done for the love of Man?" "Why," said the Millionaire, "my donations to the charities—you have the subscription lists—my endowed Chair of Political Economy, the Dives Hospital, the Dives Library—are these not—?" "I said for the love of Man," said Saint Peter. "Well, then, if you say solely for the love of man—why, oh, yes. A window came to me once in great distress. Her son was her sole support; he was about to lose his place for lack of a pair of shoes. I got her the shoes." Saint Peter pushed a button aud an imp of Satan answered. "Where is the boy—Oh, you're the one. This lad," said the Saint to the Millionaire, "went to the devil because he did not get that place as errand boy. You may have done that for love—but you see you only helped one at the expense of the other." The Millionaire frowned. "I gave $100 to my wife for her Flower Guild work," he said. Saint Peter turned over his book, "Your wife has the credit for that," he said. "I paid for free ice once," said the Millionaire, "and said nothing at all about it." Saint Peter looked at the book again, "That was part of the money you got, by the water works franchise, from the people you gave the ice to, was it not?" he said. "But the hospitals," pleaded the Millionaire, "and the subscriptions—truly I gave them partly out of kindness. Then the Employment Society that I organized." "Employment Society," said Saint Peter, "now that's something practical. Did you give the people employment!" "Well-eh-no," said the Millionaire; "but we found them places." "Oh," said Saint Peter, "then you only found them somebody else's places—anything else?" "Well-n-o," said the Millionaire. "Then you can go to join your friends."

Dunn, for many years one of Chicago's prominent coal dealers, passed away Sunday evening at his residence, 5045 Michigan avenue, after a lingering illness. Death was due to a general breakdown caused by too close attention to business covering a period of thirty-three years. Born fifty-two years ago in Chicago, Mr. Dunn received his early education and training in the Chicago public schools. Leaving school when nineteen years old, he looked about for a business opening, and in 1877, opened a small coal office at Fifty-first street and Armour avenue. From this small beginning the business grew and prospered until now the coal yards of the John J. Dunn Company occupy the entire block between Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets on Armour avenue, being one of the largest yards in the city. Mr. Dunn was a member of several Chicago clubs, among them the Coal Dealers' Club and the Chicago Automobile Club, in both of which he took an active interest. At the bedside when death came were his widow and five children. Frank J. William E., Raymond, Marle and Phillip. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 9:30 at Corpus Christi Church, Forty-ninth street and Grand boulevard, Rev. Father Thomas O'Gara officiating and he was laded to rest in Mount Olivet Cemetery. For some year past Mr. Dunn employed quite a number of Colored teamsters. He was ever ready to perform kindly acts for worthy Colored people as well as for worthy people of other races and he will be greatly missed by those who knew him best. MISS SUSIE REED LOST HER CASE IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT. Colored Gay Latharios had better be careful how they trifle with the affections of the fair young ladies. Colored girls seem to be learning that their broken hearts have some monetary value and that a few hundred dollars of Uncle Sam's shining sheckles would act as a very soothing balm to their wounded affections and so it happened that Miss S. Reed, a prominent member of Olivet Baptis' Church, feeling that Mr. George W. Hopson had not only stolen her affections, but had been so cruel and ungallant as to refuse to make her his wedded bride, brought suit against him in the Municipal Court for the sum of five hundred (500) dollars. While Miss Reed must have valued her heart more highly than the amount asked for would indicate, still she was modest enough to think that if she could force Mr. Hopson to part company with about $500, it would act as a sort of soothing syrup and serve as a reminder to other young men who trifle with the affections of young ladies. Miss Reed was represented by Colonel Beauregard F. Moseley and Mr. Hopson's interest was looked after by Attorney Walter M. Farmer. Tuesday morning the 20th inst. before Judge Turnbaugh, in the Municipal Court, the battle royal began. It happens however, that somehow the Judge was persuaded that the fair plaintiff wasn't entitled to the damages she sought and entered a verdict in favor of the defendant. Now Mr. Hopson is all smiles and Miss Reed is correspondingly dejected. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. There will be special services at Wayman Chapel all day Sunday.

A “Sure Thing” Post. Poets as a rule are not good bust ness men, but an exception is one of a little group of young writers and artists who dine every evening togeth- er and talk shop. The poet very often reads the verses be has composed, and sometimes the comments are not ex- actly fattering. “That's rotten!” ex- claimed an artist on bearing one of these effusions recently. “TU bet you $% 1 can sell it toe magazine,” replied the poet. ‘The wager was made, and the artist lost. Since that the poet bas made several similar bets with bis scoffing friends and has won them all.

Glasses should never be taken off with one band; an optician advises that they be carefully grasped by the rims of the lenses on both sides and removed “by pushing up- ward. Pulling at one side of specta- cles bends the frame; with noseglasses it loosens the screw, and the lens shakes continually. Sometimes this happens in spite of care, and then ft is well to purchase one of the tiny screwdrivers used by opticians and tighten them whenever necessary.
