MERRIAM OPENS U HE BELIEVES IN PERSONAL LIB TEST EVERY INCH OF THE TION, APRIL 4. Carter H. Harrison, it seems, was born under a lucky star, for in the past fate or the lucky stars have favored him in his political contests, and after just passing through one of the greatest and most bitter political scraps in his life, he stats off with a united party behind him in his race for mayor of Chicago, and from now on until the polls close, Tuesday evening, April 4, he will not permit any grass to grow under his feet in his effort to get around among the voters, while urging them to do their duty and record their votes in favor of his election. As further evidence that everything is coming his way, Edward F. Dunne will not run as an independent candidate and firmly believes that everything was on the square at the primaries and that not many dishonest votes were cast either for himself, Andrew J. Graham or Carter H. Harrison, and has come out in an open statement in which he urges all of his friends and supporters to fall in line for "Our Carter." John McCarthy, chairman of the managing committee of the Democratic party of Cook county; Roger C. Sullivan, George E. Brennan and the other strong champions of Andrew J. Graham will whoop it up for Harrison, Connery and Stuckart. It is freely admitted that the "Man of Destiny" owes his success at the S. H. DUDLEY HEAD OF THE SMART SET FINED ONE DOLLAR AND COST FOR ASSAULTING SYLVESTER RUSSELL. Suit Has Also Been Entered Against Mr. Dudley in the Circuit Court for $5,000. The Smart Set opened at Webers Theatre, 19th St. and Wabash Ave., on Sunday, February 26, and as stated last week in these columns, Sylvester Russell, the theatrical news writer, came in contact with Mr. S. H. Dudley who is at his best in "His Honor, The Barber," in one of the drinking resorts near the theatre and not liking what Mr. Russell had said in several newspaper articles, in reference to his little son singing near the stage, during the performance while the Smart Set was playing at the Globe Theatre, last December, and after exchanging a few words in relation to the article Mr. Dudley, hauled off and struck Mr. Russell, in both of his eyes and with his large diamond ring be made several cuts on his face, which Mr. Russell disliked very much. Some of the gentlemen who happened to be in the saloon at that time separated the combatants and later on Mr. Russell swore out a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Dudley and after being duly arrested by an officer of the law his case came up before municipal Judge John R. Newcomer, at the Harrison street station last Saturday morning, and after listening to all the evidence in the case Judge Newcomer, HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY primaries to the German-American and the independent Afro-American voters, as his plurality was about fifteen hundred, so it will be seen that less than eight hundred votes would have put him out of the running and if seven or eight hundred German-American or Afro-American voters would have deserted him and cast their votes for Dunne he would be the next mayor of Chicago. This is as plain as your nose on your face. Alderman Peter Reinberg, who is exceedingly popular with all classes of his German-American fellow citizens, and the people in general, who worked mighty hard for the success of Carter H. Harrison at the primaries, will continue to serve as chairman of his campaign committee, and as Alderman Reinberg is a good mixer and understands the game of politics, he is strongly of the opinion that "Carter Harrison will pull through at the polls April 4 with a handsome majority so that he will be the next mayor of Chicago." Charles E. Merriam, with the leaders of all factions of the Republican party in line for him, has already opened up his mayoralty fight and as he believes in personal liberty and feels that he has a splendid chance in winning out, he will hotly contest every inch of the ground from now to the election, April 4. fined Mr. Dudley one dollar and cost for assaulting Mr. Russell. Col. Neighbor, Edward Hezekiah Brown Morris, ex-attorney for "The Gambler's Trust" represented Mr. Dudley, and attorney Alexander looked after the interest of Mr. Russell, and just as soon as the criminal side of the case had come to an end, Mr. Russell, through his attorney entered suit against-Mr. Dudley in the Circuit Court of Cook county for five thousand dollars and he was served with the papers in the case late on Saturday afternoon and when the case comes up for trial Mr. Russell feels that he might be able to get away with the long eared Donkey which Mr. Dudley uses in "His Honor The Barber" and with his big brilliant diamond ring. Lee Ormstead, Springfield, O., who is one of the crack men in the Pullman Palace Car service, received a check for $40 last week as extra pay, for faithful services rendered, and as Mr. Ormstead, is a subscriber to The Broad Ax( and always pays his subscription promptly without dunning, and as he was in the city last Saturday evening, in company with ye editor, he took in the nights at the Burlington, 2918 State street, the Elite Cafe, 3030 State street, and wound up at Charles Lett's, 20th Century Cafe, 3120 State street, with a club sandwich each. CHICAGO, MARCH 11, 1911. [Name not visible in the image] UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVES APPOINTED FOR INTERNATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS. Committee of 100 Named—Special Exhibit at Rome in September. Word was received today from the headquarters of the Seventh Triennial International Congress on Tuberculosis at Rome that an American Committee of one hundred members of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has been appointed, and that preparations have been made for the special participation of the United States in the exhibition of Social Hygiene which will be held under the auspices of the Congress. The dates of the Congress are from September 24th to 30th, but the Exhibition will probably open on June 1st and will continue until February 28, 1912. several months, to commemorate the founding of Italian liberty. The entire movement will be held under the patronage of the King and Queen of Italy. Any inquiries concerning application for membership in the Congress and space in the exhibition should be addressed to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East 22d Street, New York City. A NOTED WOMAN DIES. Post, Lecturer and Author of Not Dies at Ripe Old Age. Mrs. Francis Ellen Waltkins Harper noted temperance lecturer, who was a contemporary with Wendel Phillips, Lucretia Mott, Frederie Douglass in the Anti-Slavery cause. The American Committee of. One Hundred has been selected from practically every state in the United States. In addition to this committee it is expected that the Federal Government will also send official representatives to the Congress and probably several of the states will take similar action. The headquarters of the American Committee are in the office of the National Association, New York City. The Exhibition of Social Hygiene will be the greatest of its kind that has ever been assembled. Among the different sections of the Exhibition are those on tuberculosis, general prophylaxis, history of the hygienic movement, and the prevention of disease in general. The Exhibition will cover a large area fronting Piazza Cavour. The authorities in charge of the exhibition are planning to set aside a separate pavilion for the United States exhibits provided these are numerous enough. All of the 500 state and local anti-tuberculosis committees allied with the National Association will be asked to contribute to this exhibition. Other bodies engaged in the campaign against preventable disease and for the betterment of public health will also be asked to contribute. The committee in charge of the exhibition has extended the time for the reservation of space until March 31st and the time for the receipt of material to June 30th. Committees similar to the one appointed in the United States have been designated in over thirty different countries and representatives at the Congress will be present from every civilized section of the world. The exhibition and Congress will be part of a general celebration extending over several months, to commemorate the founding of Italian liberty. The entire movement will be held under the patronage of the King and Queen of Italy. Any inquiries concerning application for membership in the Congress and space in the exhibition should be addressed to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East 22d Street, New York City. A NOTED WOMAN DIES Poet, Lecturer and Author of Note Dies at Ripe Old Age. Mrs. Francis Ellen Waltkins Harper, the noted temperance lecturer, who was a contemporary with Wendell Phillips, Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass in the Anti-Slavery cause, died Monday at the home of her niece, Mrs. E. C. Mundcoccker, 1809 Lombard street. Mrs. Harper was 86 years old and was born in Baltimore. She was educated by an uncle after the death of her parents and had an opportunity to make a study of the "Underground Railway." She wrote a volume of poems when 21 years old and soon afterward appeared as lecturer. Following the Civil War she was active in organizing members of her race in this city—The Courant, Philadelphia, Pa., March 4, 1911. It was our pleasure to know Mrs. Harper, at the time the writer resided in Philadelphia many years ago; she was in every way a very fine woman, during the World's Fair, in this city in 1893, Mrs. Harper, visited Chiego and in company with her and the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, whom she was greatly interested in, called on Jensen, McClurg and Company who were at that time located on the corner of Madison street and Wabash avenue. The visit was to make arrangements with Jensen, McClurg and Company to publish some of Mr. Dunbar's Poems, for at that time he was just beginning to branch out in the field of poetry. Before leaving the city at that time Mrs. Harper, presented us with a volume of her own Poems, which we still prize very highly. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, 3129 Indiana avenue, has departed for Nashville, Tenn., and during the coming week he will ably conduct his annual surgical clinics at the George Hubbard Hospital, in connection with the Meharry Medical College. He will not return to the city until the 19th of March. Hon. John E. Milholland of New York City RECENTLY DELIVERED A NOTABLE ADDRESS IN PHILADELPHIA, PA., AT THE FRIENDS' MEETING HOUSE.

HE CONTENDS THAT THE CONDITION OF THE BLACKS AND THE WHITES CAN NEVER BE IMPROVED EXCEPT BY EDUCATION. THAT EDUCATION IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BANISH IGNO-RANCE FROM THE LAND. Hon. John E.

We boast of our wonderful school systems but let us look at the grim facts of the situation: The common school population of the United States in 1908 was, according to official compilations, about 25,000,000, equally divided between boys and girls from the ages of five to eighteen years. The enrollment returned was about 17,000,000; the attendance, of course, very much less. That is to say about one-third of our children of school age are not even enrolled, and it is altogether within reasonable inference to assume that very little more, probably less, than half are in attendance. There are, of course, practical, if not satisfactory, reasons, undoubtedly that will explain the failure to enroll and attend school by a very large part of this vast army of 12,000,000 or more absentees from the classrooms, but I assert on the facts as brought out by those in a position to speak with perise knowledge on the subject, that the reason why at least five or six million of these children do not enroll and do not attend is because there are no school facilities whatever provided for them. This is the tormenting truth, the disgraceful truth and one that this Nation must face and face immediately if we are going to maintain our position among the civilized Nations of the earth and be considered that Republic whose other name is "Opportunity" for all. If this is not a shocking state of affairs for any sober minded citizen to contemplate then we must revise all notions on this subject. But let us go further. There was expended that year for popular education about $382,000,000, $317,000,000 of which was derived fro mlocal and State taxations, $42,000,000 more from other sources, State and local and from the United States Government was received about $22,500,000, or a trifle more than our interest on the public debt; less than one-half of what was voted for pension graft the other day; one-twelfth of what we will spend on our Army and Navy this year and one-twentieth of what we shall probably spend on our Panama Canal. These comparisons are not made by way of criticism upon the public expenditure in any direction indicated; that is not my purpose at this time; what I want to drive home, if I may and if I can, is the beggarly treatment that is accorded popular education. Neither have I desired to overlook the highly creditable fact that in the very year mentioned, 1008, $33,000,000 was contributed to the institutions of the various States giving agricultural instruction, such money being the income from the Loan Grant Trust Funds, the Merrill Acts, the Nelson Amendment, etc., and other appropriations from the Federal Treasury. But I am not holding a brief tonight for any industrial school or schools of technology or agriculture. I speak for the common schools, the inexhaustible sources from which come Hilholland New York City LE ADDRESS IN PHILADELPHIA, BING HOUSE. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PEOPLE.

My plea for the masses, however, is really a plea for all, the highest and the lowest, for if you want to make your technical schools, your colleges and your universities what they should be, that is to surpass in their scope and sound scholarship, anything Germany or France has accomplished or Oxford and Cambridge contemplates, then you must begin at the very bottom of the ladder, and see that your ladder is firmly planted. "No system of public education," said Huxley, "is worth the name of National unless it secures a great educational ladder one end of which is in the gutter and the other in the university." Truer words were never spoken by any friend of education—I dwell upon the "gutter" end tonight. "A Church on every hill and a school house in every valley" was a cry that rang through the New England of brain and conscience, but the regions of the United States where a school bell is never heard, are depressing in their vastness and desolation though the population swarms in helplessness and misery. Well, what are we going to do about it? Are we to sit down in helpless contemplation and say with the Soudanese, "Kismit, it is the will of Allah", or are we to address ourselves to the task in through-going American fashion and never abandon our effort until the work is done? But why waste time? Why any further sacrifice? Why longer handicap the lives of the "Little Ones?" A Federal Education Bill is the absolute imperious requirement of the situation, and the man or woman who does not realize this does not understand existing conditions or the way to mend them. We have tried every other petty, piecemeal, conventional means, and with what results? At least one whole State does not spend a dollar per capita annually for popular education, and it is stated by those who should know that even in Montgomery County, Alabama, only forty cents per capita was expended last year in the education of Colored children. Dr. Booker T. Washington himself confesses that Negro school teachers in that State actually receive less salary than is paid for many of the Alabama convicts. Nevertheless, within the last two years two Alabama Negro boys successfully passed the rigorous examinations of the Rhodes Scholarship, one of them beating no less than ten White competitors for the honor. So far as regards the long array of private undertakings, they are merely indices pointing the direction in which this great Government of ours, sooner or later, must go, if it is to realize its manifest destiny. The Slater Fund, Howard, Hampton, Tuskegee, all rolled together, are too absurdly inadequate to merit serious discussion as a solution of the problem. Not only inadequate, they are objectionable from another and higher viewpoint.

We do not want Charity Schools; we will not have them. We want schools for which the taxpayers of the country pay, and pay gladly, no mater what they cost, and until we have them all over the coun- try—East, West, North and South— things will go on from bad to worse. ‘They are going 20 now very fast—very fast indeed. Must things become even worse before they become better? We are justified in hoping that they, will not. But let us proceed a little further im our investigation. I am going to confine the inquiry for the moment to Alabama because that is the State in which the voluntary school experiment has been tried so thoroughly for = quarter of century. That is the State of which it was said twenty years ago, there was no need of the Blair Bill to provide National sup- Port of common schools because com- mon school education was going to be provided for locally by the State and by the philanthropy of the North which had been pouring its golden rain for the last twenty-five years. What are the results! According to the official figures of 1907 and 1908, there were about 693,900 school chil- dren in Alabama Of these 386,000 were enrolled, leaving over 300,000 without even the experience of school enroliment. It is fair to as- sume that of the number enrolled fully twenty-five per cent did not attend, | thus leaving in the State of Alabama about 400,000 children deprived of even the most rudimentary education, and of this number the majority are ‘White. Neglected in the vital matter of education this multitude is .grow- ing up in gross ignorance, doomed to poverty, frequently to crime, because of that ignorance. ‘ ‘Tallapoosa county is a fair example of the average hill county in Ala- bama. It basonly three towns of more than 1,000 population. The re- port of the Alabama Department of Baueation, for 1906-7, states that the school population of Whites in Talla- pooss to be 7,273 and Blacks 4,196, or total 11460. There were enrolled in the county, during the scholastic year of 1906-7, 4, 319 Whites and 1,655 Col- ered; total enrollment, therefore, 5,974. ‘The average attendance of the Whites was 3550 and Blacks 1,238, total be- ing 4,788. ‘The average length of dv- ration of the White schools was 180 days and of the Colored schools 85 days. = ‘A melancholy recital, you say, but ‘that of ‘‘the imperial county of Jef- ferson’’ is not more cheerful. Birm- imgham is the county seat and the school population of the county, in 2906-7, was 22,290 Whites and 12,125 Colored. ‘The enrollment was 14,605 ‘Whites and 5,282 Colored. Of the 22,- 290 White children of school age there’ ‘was an sverage attendance of 8,621. ‘The average attendance of Colored was 2, 839. ‘Think of it!

No, this proposition, however novel it may appear to @ generation that forgets everything more than forty: eight hours’ old, is, as I said at the outset, not new. Like Liberty itself, it is of an ancient house and how- ever the Founders of this Govern- ment differed among themselves on other points of State and National poliey on this their unanimity is sim- ply amazing. Geographical lines were lost in these famous discussions of National Eduestion. The Adams’ of Massachu- setts were not more strenuous in its support than Thomas Jefferson or James Monroe of Virginia. That the imperial-minded Hamilton should be for such measures would surprise none of us but in the Constitutional Con- vention of 1787 it was Pinckney of South Carolina, backed by Madison of Virginia who advocated the es- tablishment of a National University at Washington. Wilson and Gouver- sour Morris supported the plan but the matter was dropped not because it was thought to be unconstitutional put because it was agreed that Con- gress already had sufficient power “to enact laws for the support of National Edueation,”’ a conclusion hat was never successfully contested, questioned nor apparently deplered by he most zealous upholders of State Rights in the great debates of those lays, or in the Congressional battle ver the Morrill Laws nor during the en years conflict that raged about jenator Blair’s historical measure, the jefeat of which put back the dial of his Country’s educational progress ar more than fifteen degrees, for the low struck then was one that will) e felt in effect through more than one | eneration.

Knowledge in every coun-|t y is the surest basis of public hap-| 1 ness. In one, as ours, in which the,t easures of government receive their] apressions so immediately from the} mse of the commuity it is propor- onately essential.’’ That last sentence is a gem of clas- gl expression, the language of a atesman whose fame this world will] s wver let die because he legislated for! s ye ages and fought for principles| niversal in application, eternal in dv- tion. : He saw our inconsistency in this! atter as the Fathers did on the ques-| on of Slavery, for in 1796 when|¢ sideration was given to the Na- onal Military Academy at West oint, he urges in his Message a Na-|1 ee ee ee darken consul by words without know!- edge. Follow; I beg you, the sweep of this succeeding paragraph with the vista it opens up of the proposed university’ ‘ultimate magnificent influence, break- ing down provineialism, lessening class hatred, curing the blighting effects of race creed or color prejudices, and by the bringing together of the youth from all points of the land, North, South, East and West, seek to turn the powers of sectional pride into the ‘dynamic force of national feeling. “Among the motives to such an insti- tution the assimilation of principles, opinions and manners of our country- men by the common education of a por- tion of our youth from every quarter well deserves attention; the more homogenous our citizens can be made in these particulars the greater will be our prospects of permanent union; and a primary object of such a national in- stitution should be the education of our youth in the science of govern- ment.’?

Pleasing Manners, Deference, Courte- sy and a Vigorous, Healthy and Well- Groomed Appearance. A woman likes pleasing manners iz a man. She likes deference and cour teay and attentiveness in small things Manners often make more of an ap peal to her than sterling worth. That’ the reason foreigners make such head way with American women. They never forget to be deferential and courteous, to say the little things and to do the little things that warm the cockles of the feminine heart. This may be all wrong. Perhaps she ought to appreciate the character more than the veneer. But she doem’t. The average woman isn’t practical. She's romantic. She likes roses and bon- bons. Many men give her eabbage and beefsteak. Cabbage and beef. steak are all right, but as a steady diet they are tiresome. Shell take less cabbage and beefsteak if thereby she may have some roses and ben- bons. ‘A woman likes a man to look heal thy and to be well groomed.

Under the caption “The New School Code” the Pittsburg Courier says: The interest of Negroes generally and especially those who have the power of the ballot in thelr hands should center at this time on the new school code. Pennsylvania bas no separate schools. The children of Negro par- entage as well as of any or all other nations or races of people attend the public schools and are given the bene- fit of that uplift which comes from the frée association incident to school life, ‘The new code should be thoroughly examined and its purposes fully un- derstood. and if there be the least inkling of anything which has for its aim or purpose a means of operation against the interests of the Negro it should be assiduously sought out and eradicated. ‘The Negro of Pennsylvania has, po- Uitically speaking. a mighty weight, and now is the time to look well into his interest and see that only such a law as operates for Negro children as well as any other race variety is enacted into law.

Water, says the North Dakota experiment station, being a nonconductor of heat, will prevent deep freezing of the ground. Therefore a dry soil will freeze deeper than a moist one. Turning Rust to Good Advantage. A Hessian lieutenant of the name of Ludwig von Siegen noticed the effect of the dew upon his gun barrel, which had become rusted from the dampness.

Constantinople is to be lighted by electricity, and work on the power house at Kiatane will begin at once. State Lines. Illinois is the largest corn growing state in the Union. The state of Massachusetts at one time previous to the Revolution claimed the Pacific ocean as its western boundary. If Texas were as thickly settled as Rhode Island it would have 134,000,000 inhabitants, almost one-tenth of the entire population of the globe. Every man, woman and child could have more than an acre of land at that. Automobiles. New York city has more automobiles run at the public expense than London, Berlin and Paris combined. An automobile testing plant has been installed by the University of Kentucky for use in research work on the subject of power plant efficiency. The Moscow postoffice has made a contract with an automobile company for carrying all malls between the general and branch offices and the railroad stations.

Mike, having been sent by his master to deliver a hare in a hamper, set out on a long journey. Feeling tired and inquisitive, he sat down and opened the hamper to see the hare. In an instant the hare was running down the road. Mike was very upset at this, but suddenly he shouted after it: "It's no good; you don't know where to go.

It is said that the jury which tried one Earle McFarland, a white criminal, for his life in Galveston, Tex., recently was composed of six colored men and six white men. The case attracted wide attention, as it is believed by those who profess to know to be the first instance of the kind in the history of criminal proceedings in the Lone Star State. Be that as it may, we see nothing in the selection of colored men to serve as jurors at the trial of a white man over which to exult. If the jurors were each citizens of the United States and of the commonwealth of Texas, adjudged by the commissioner of jurors to be competent to determine the innocence or guilt of the criminal according to the facts in the case from a legal standpoint, that is all that is necessary. THE TIME FOR MINISTERS TO ENGAGE IN POLITICS One of Six In Savannah, Ga., Who Knew When to Act. On ordinary occasions there is but very little necessity for a minister of the gospel dabbling in politics, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, but when a moral issue is at stake or the good of his people threatened then it becomes his duty to himself, and to his followers to join them in their efforts to uphold the honest integrity of the community and to protect their rights. On a recent occasion a duty similar to this devolved upon one of our six ministers, and he was not found wanting, but in a most earnest manner gave his people good advice. This is the sort of man the ministry needs, one who is not afraid to voice his opinions when they are needed, even though it be in a political meeting. Reopening of Concord Literary. Now that the series of religious meetings at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ have come to a close the Concord Literary circle will resume its meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Thursday evenings in the month. President Walter K. Taylor and the board of managers are very much encouraged over the outlook for the circle for the spring term and have announced the reopening of the meetings for Thursday evening, March 22. The circle is the leading literary organization in Brooklyn and is rapidly extending its influence and helpfulness throughout Greater New York. High school night at the circle will occur in May. Deathblow to Class Legislation. The West segregation scheme which was got up and passed by the city council of Baltimore for the purpose of preventing colored people from living in streets where the majority of residents were white has been declared null and void. The sooner all such unjust measures are wiped out of existence in the United States the better. Class legislation has no place in a rpublic. The West ordinance was a disgrace to the intelligent citizens of Baltimore. It deserved the death which it died. In all such cases there should be no reservation—Defense.
