ING AND DOCTRINE.
The whole civilized world was shocked to learn through the associated press last Monday morning that on Sunday evening, March 19th, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, was murderously assaulted in the front hallway of an apartment house, at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63rd street, New York City, while he was simply engaged in an honest effort to locate a white gentleman by the name of D. C. Smith, auditor of Tuskegee and a public accountant with offices at 32 Broadway, who was stopping at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63rd street, with friends at the time he was being sought by Mr. Washington, and without the least warning he was severely struck three or four times on the head with a club by Albert Ulrich, who seems to be a common rough white gentleman with two living wives, and as Mr. Washington attempted to defend himself, and escape from the front hallway of the building with his life, Ulrich, was joined by another white gentleman who assisted to attack and assault him, in endearvoring to find a place of safety or protection Mr. Washington finally ran across a policeman and after informing him as to what had happened to him Ulrich, was duly arrested but in the excitement of the moment, the other white gentleman made good his escape, after Ulrich had been locked up by the police, Mr. Washington was conveyed to the Fowler hospital where the many wounds on his head were dressed and for sometime he was unable to leave the hospital and return to his rooms in the Manhattan hotel.
In order to try to make it easy for her husband Mrs. Ulrich, claims that as she passed through the front hallway with her dog, that Mr. Washington exclaimed "Hello, sweetheart," as though he wanted to make love to her, but J. H. Benton, his two daughters and other ladies and gentlemen living at that number contend that they passed in and out the front hallway at the time Mr. Washington was engaged in ringing the bell to the flat he thought Mr. Smith was stopping in with his friends and that he paid no attention to them.
Many evil minded persons both white and Colored are at this very time laboring under the impression that being far away from home Mr. Washington was endeavoring to cover up his prominence or his identity, so that he could scatter some red paint and have a good time with some white woman, but according to our way of thinking he would not be forced to do anything of the kind, and if he wanted to violate his marriage vows in this respect, with all the money at his command. All he would have to do would be to snap his little finger and thousands of good looking white and Colored women who amount to
HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY
something in this world would be perfectly willing to embrace him for his money and he would not be compelled to attempt to make love to the second handed wife of a common janitor.
It is the duty of Mr. Washington to prosecute his assailant to the bitter end and to learn him and his friends to remember one thing namely, that all Colored men do not act and look alike.
Seth Low, ex-mayor of New York City, President William H. Taft and many other prominent men, who are high up in the financial affairs of this country who are numbered among his best friends have sent him letters of sympathy and offering to stand by him.
On Wednesday President Taft, penned a personal letter to Mr. Washington, as follows:
"I am greatly distressed at your misfortune and I hasten to write you of my sympathy. . . . (I want you to know that your friends are standing by you in every trial and that I am proud to subscribe myself as one."
The white citizens of Greenville, Ala., are anxious to raise funds to assist Ulrich, in defending himself in the courts against his prosecution by Booker T. Washington, and to make him a hero for cowardly attacking the foremost white or Colored citizen, residing in the rotten state of Alabama.
This incident is further proof; that the great wizard of Tuskegee, deals in false logic, and has extensively dealt in it, in the past by advising the Colored people to tamely submit to all kinds of brutal treatment, to give up their civil and political rights for the sake of peace and harmony and to appease the southern whites in all things, in relation to the Négro.
It is therefore, clearly evident; that Mr. Washington, has fallen an unwilling victim, to his own destructive teachings and doctrine.
Notwithstanding this fact, it is the duty of every patriotic citizen throughout the length and breadth of this broad land to extend his unbounded sympathy to Mr. Washington at this particular time!

CHICAGO, MARCH 25, 1911.
EX-ALDERMAN WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE.
The regular Democratic Candidate for Alderman of the 14th Ward who looks like an easy winner to his thousands of steadfast friends in that neck of the woods and to the voters in general, throughout the ward which he has so ably in the past represented in the city council.
Ex-Alderman William T. Maypole, who consciently served in the city council from the Fourteenth ward for twelve years, prior to 1908, and his record stands forth for all those years without a blot on it; and so far it has not been surpassed.
He was one of its most conspicuous leaders and members. During his last term in the council he was its vice president, minority leader, member of finance, local transportation and gas, oil and electric light committees, chairman of finance sub-committee on personal injuries and claims, member of the committee on streets and alleys, west.
He was also for some years a member of the committee on track elevation. It cannot be otherwise but observed that he was one of its most active and influential members and earnestly labored for the benefit of the people residing in all parts of this city, as well as those residing in the Fourteenth ward.
of the railroad tracks on West Kinzie street and the awarding of damages to property owners effected thereby.
Alderman Maypole was also instrumental in having West Lake street widened at the expense of the Lake St. Elevated Railroad Company, and compelling it to abandon the use of its old structure for the storage of cars; he also saw to it that the triangle at Grand and Western avenues was greatly improved, the new branch public libraries at Kedzie and Kinzie, and at Ohio and Oakley avenues were established through his untiring energy.
Many other improvements which are public benefits to all the people in the Fourteenth ward must and should be credited up to Alderman Maypole. More than 1,200 electric lights were installed in the various parts of the ward while he was a member of the city council. In short, Alderman Maypole was one of the most valuable and energetic members of the council that the Fourteenth ward ever had. He not
It was through his influence that new fire engine houses were constructed at Huron and Lawndale, and at Erie and Western avenues, and that a magnificent new school house was erected at North Sawyer avenue, besides numerous school building improvements and playgrounds beautified for the children. He also caused the removal of the old unsightly viaducts at Ashland and Kinzie, Western avenue and Kinzie, and at Humboldt and Garfield Park boulevards. Moreover, it was through his untiring efforts that Sacramento avenue was opened as a traffic roadway, and boulevarding it and raising of subway, which later on led to the elevation
REV. THOMAS DIXON JR., WILL APPEAR IN HIS ANTI-NEGRO PLAY "THE SINS OF THE FATHER" SUNDAY, MARCH 26.
THE PROTEST OF MRS. IDA B. WELLS-BARNETT AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF HER COMMITTEE WERE IN VAIN.
For the past two weeks it has been heralded far and near, that Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., the most bitter and the greatest arch enemy of the Negro race, in America, would appear at the Princess Theater, Clark street, near Jackson Blvd., Sunday, March 26, in his play, entitled "The Sins of the Father."
It is contended that the play is gotten up for the sole object of manufacturing race prejudice, against the Negro and placing him in a false light before the public; holding him up as possessing no other object or ambition in life than to rape, and make love to white women.
This being the object of the play on Thursday morning, Mrs. Ida B. W. Barnett, and J. P. Winstead, J. O. Smith, R. E. Brown, W. N. Peters and others composing the committee, called on Assistant Chief of Police
of the railroad tracks on West Kinzie street and the awarding of damages to property owners effected thereby. Alderman Maypole was also instrumental in having West Lake street widened at the expense of the Lake St. Elevated Railroad Company, and compelling it to abandon the use of its old structure for the storage of cars; he also saw to it that the triangle at Grand and Western avenues was greatly improved, the new branch public libraries at Kedzie and Kinzie, and at Ohio and Oakley avenues were established through his untiring energy.
Many other improvements which are public benefits to all the people in the Fourteenth ward must and should be credited up to Alderman Maypole. More than 1,200 electric lights were installed in the various parts of the ward while he was a member of the city council. In short, Alderman Maypole was one of the most valuable and energetic members of the council that the Fourteenth ward ever had. He not only had the time, but also the ability, as well as the pride to represent each and every citizen in the Fourteenth ward in the council chamber and the city hall as well, and if should be the pride of every voter in that ward to assist to again permit him to wear the aldeemanic mantle.
At all times Alderman Maypole has been a true friend to Arro-Americahs, who are worthy of the slightest consideration, and it is useless to state that the majority of the 1,000 Colored voters in the Fourteenth ward will nobly stand by him on Tuesday, April 4, and again assist to return him to the city council.
Schuttler to urge him through the police department to suppress the play.
But feeling that he did not have the power to do so, the whole matter was referred to Assistant Corporation Gounsel W. D. Barge, for an opinion and after-hearing both sides of the case which were presented by Mrs. Barnett, and Rev. Thomas Dixon, who met Mrs. Barnett and the members of her committee face to face, in the presence of Mr. Barge, it was decided to let the play have full sway at the Princess Theater. Then, if it proved objectionable, steps would be taken to head it off by the police department. It is our intention to be on hand at the Princess Theater Sunday evening to witness the play, then we will be in a better position to intelligently pass judgment on it.
SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE VOTERS OF THE THIRD PRECINT OF THE 3RD WARD.
On Monday evening, April 3rd a banquet will be given to the Colored voters of the 3rd precinct of the 3rd ward in honor of Albert R. Tearney, candidate for Alderman, of that ward, at 3339 Vernon avenue. C. G. S. Mills will be in charge. All are cordially invited to attend.

one thousand people were in and out the hall during the meeting; that same evening a meeting was held at the Road House, 3501 Armour ave., in the interest of Alderman Michael McInerney, at which time Thomas McCain served a good old fashioned dinner to the hundred and fifty Colored voters who attended it, and each and every one of them pledged their loyal support to Alderman McInerney.
On last Monday evening a large meeting was held at the Colored Carter H. Harrison headquarters, 4744 State street, on Tuesday evening meetings were held at 2829 State street and at 852 West Lake street, and last evening a lively meeting was held in the A. M. E. Church, Hyde Park.
This coming week and until the close of the hot mayoralty contest, two or three meetings will be held each evening among the Colored people residing in the various wards on the West, North and South Side, and it is safe to say that they are fully determined to strike while the iron is hot, and that on Tuesday, April 4, between 65 and 75 per cent of the Colored voters in this city will record their votes in favor of Carter H. Harrison for mayor of Chicago.
On Wednesday evening, March 29th a Carter H. Harrison meeting will be held at the Chateau Rink. 5324 State street, beginning at 8 o'clock, in due time the names of the prominent speakers will be announced, and all the voters residing on State street, Dearborn street and Armour avenue, between 39th street and Garfield Blvd., will receive a notice of the meeting.
Ladies are most graciously invited to attend it and listen to the eloquent speakers who will be present and address the meeting. Julius F. Taylor, will preside.
NEGRO SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH.
The work being done by the South for Negro schools is indicated in the fact that of $1,000,000,000 spent upon common schools in the 16 former slave States and the District of Columbia since 1871 at least $135,000,000 have been spent upon common schools for Negroes. In that territory the common school enrollment increased from 2,012,654 whites and 685,942 Negroes in 1870-71 to 4,692,927 whites and 1,655,781 Negroes in 1907-08.
In 1860 there were in the public schools of the South 781,199 pupils out of a total of 4,855,894 in the United States, and the income of these public schools in the South was $4,473,370 out of a total of $32,543,519 in the United States. The popularity of the academy and other private schools at that time in the South was one of the influences against the spread of the common school idea there in that period.

At the conclusion of the meeting against our protest, on motion of Dr. Joseph A. Kelly, and unbeknown to us beforehand, The Broad Ax, was heartily endorsed as the official organ of the Carter H. Harrison, Colored campaign committee, and in all truthfulness it can be stated that some of the best Colored men in this city, taxpayers and property owners are members of the Carter H. Harrison, Colored campaign committee and they are doing every honorable thing in their power to further his election and they and thousands of other Colored men who belong in the ranks of the honest and the respectable element of the race, freely attend the meetings being held nightly among the Colored people in the various wards, throughout the city and open and above board they go on record in favor of landing "Our Carter" in the mayor's chair.
Last Sunday afternoon a rousing meeting was held in the 3rd ward at 3415 State street, which lasted for more than four hours and more than

for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis.
‘The interview was granted by His
Paninence to H. Wirt Steele, Exect-
tive Secretary of the Maryland Ass
cfation for the Prevention and Relief
of Tuberculosis and Dr. Charles O-
Donovan, one of the leading physi-
cians of Baltimore. Mr. Steele and
cans peaovan explained to the Card
nal the object of Tuberculosis Day.
namely, that ft was an effort to secure
2"imltmenw a erste Pe
sentation of the educational side of
the tuberculosis campaign in all of
the churches of the United States on|
April 30th or on some other day in
the week preceding or the week fol-
lowing that date. The Cardinal ex-
pressed his entire sympathy with the
plan of the Tuberculosis Day move-
ment, and endorsed the program both
‘of the Maryland Association and of
the National Association.
Following the interview, Cardinal
Gibbons elso sent a letter to Mr.
|Gteele in which he expressed formal-
ly bis approval of the anti-tuberculo-
sis campaign as conducted in the
‘United States at the present time.
‘The letter is as follows:
Baltimore, Febr. 23rd, 1911.
My Dear Mr. Steele:—
I have read with keen interest the
pamphlets you sent me, which tell
of the triumphs already achieved in
the warfare against tuberculosis.
My wonder has been aroused by the
simplicity of the arms used in this
warfare—namely—rational living and
cleanliness—which are within the
reach of all.
T shall follow with special interest
all your efforts in this splendid pro-
paganda against the terrible disease,
and hope the results of your labor
will be commensurate with the seal,
the energy, and self-sacrifice which
you and your fellow-workers are de-
voting to the work.
I can remember «well the ravages
made by yellow fever in days gone|
by, but rejoice to cee that the medical |:
fraternity have conquered it: =:
T thust that you will be equally suc- |:
ceasful against tuberculosis. .
‘With best wishes, I am .
‘Yours faithfully,
(Signed) J. Card. Gibbons. |

The present Aldermanic contest in
the Third ward, between Alderman
Milton J. Foreman and Albert R.
Tearney, is one that directly concerns
every Coloréd voter in the ward,
therefore, since Mr. Foreman, gives
it out that he cares nothing about
the Colored voters, I thought a word
from me, inasmuch as I have been
in Mr. Tearney’s employment for the
last seven years, might be of interest
to the voters, as to his treatment of
the Colored men in his employment,
and his interest in the race. Coming
directly in contact with Mr.-Tearney,
daily, I am certainly in a position to
contradict or affirm any statement
made concerning him. I can trath-
fally say: that Mr. Tearney’s interest
and friendship for the Colored people,
and particularly for those in his em-
ployment, has been thoroughly test
ed, as the (white union men( have
made an untiring effort to have him
replace his Colored men with white
men, but on every occasion, they
have been told frankly, that he would
always retain Colored men. If the
Colored .voters ever needed a repre-
sentative in the City Council to whom
they could go and get the proper con-
sideration, it is certainly now, there-
fore, if we will, to the the man sup-|
port Mr. Tearney, in him, we will
have such a man.
Very truly yours,
Frederick Young.

Presiding Elder Dr. T. H. Tipton
‘was much pleased and complimented
the pastor on the splendid organiza-
don of the various departments of
the chureh. Dr. Callis expressed him-
self as being well satisfied with the
way in which the officers, members
and friends were taking hold of the
work. The financial report of the
trustee's, stewards and various church
organizations were very fiattering.
The reports of the leaders, the
Superintendent of the Sunday School,

iF YOU ARE A VOTER IN THE
THIRD WARD, DO NOT FAIL
‘TO READ THIS8!!
During all political contests, it is
to be expected that the party to
which the respective Candidate is
affiliated with, will make every pos-
sible effort to reach the voters in the
interest of their candidate, either
through their workers in the various
precincts, or by sending out political
Hterature telling why their candidate
should be elected. But in the present
Aldermanic contest, in the third ward
between Alderman Milton J. Fore
man and Albert R. Tearney, there is
this unquestionable difference; Al-
derman Foreman, is and always has
Deen the representative of the
(SILK STOCKING) element in the
Hast end of the ward, and ignoring
the Colored voters on the whole. Hav-
ing known Mr. Tearney, personally
for the last fifteen years, and coming
in contact with him almost daily dur-
ing that time, I feel that a word
from me to the Colored voters of the
ward, concerning Mr. Tearney, will be
worth some thing, at this time. Mr.
Tearney’s business and executive abi-
lity commends him to the office. He
ig & self made man. If he is elected,
there need be no fear that the (little
fellow can not see him, as the door
of his office will always be open to
his constituents, let them come from
the Boulevard or from Armour ave-
nue. Mr. Tearney, roes not believe
im segregation, therefore, if there
happens to be a large number of Col-
ored voters in his precinct, he will
not have the precinct devided as Al-
derman Foreman, did in order to get
the Colored voters out of HIS, aristo-
cratic precinet, and incidentally get a
Colored man, who happened to be
myself, off of the election board, as
clerk. Mr. Tearney, stands for a
square deal for all.
Very traly yours,

A Product of Peru.
One day in the course of study the teacher had occasion to give a description of the republic of Peru. After describing its natural features, people, commerce, industries, products, etc., he gave his class a test to find out how much they remembered of what he had told them. Having received satisfactory replies to a number of his questions, he asked, "Now, who can tell me what the principal products of Peru are?" Instantly there came from somewhere in the rear of the room the answer, "Prunus."—Philadelphia Record.
A Solution.
There's hardly been a year of late when people didn't ask. Eball woman have this privilege? Shall she perform that task?
"Shall women smoke?" "Shall women bike?" are samples we may quote.
Today of course the problem is, "Shall women have the vote?"
If I were called to arbitrate this answer I would give,
"She shall," "I would solve the problem just as surely as you live.
From what, I know of woman's will, of what she does and don't.
I'm certain I we said she shall" she'd tell us that she won't.

Wit That Stung.
Father 8. was remarkable for his ready wit. On one occasion while travelling on a steamboat a well known sharper who wished to get into the priest's good graces said:
"Father, I should like very much to hear one of your sermons."
"Nice," said the clergyman, "you could have heard me last Sunday if you were here where you should have seen us that?"
"Where can you that?"
"In the county jail," answered the late priest as he walked away.—San Francisco Star.
The Play's the Thing.
The play's the thing! When life grows gray.
When smiles beguile and tears betray.
When smiles forsure and faces chace.
While heiled vultans glare substance.
And happy endings hold their away.
Enter the hero! Clear the way!
Let all the fumes and fiddles play!
This hour is real! Life's but a trance!
The world's a dream where shadows stray!
Fate is the potter; we're the clay.
Puppets or princes, take your chance.
Do homage to the god Romance.
Hue at his shrine a rose we lay—
The play's the thing.
—Kate Masterson in Columbian.
The Faithful Nurse
"Is this you, doctor?" asks the nurse

"Yes." answers the physician.
"Well, you know you said Mr. Bonder

for five or six days?"
"Yes."
"Well, this is only the second day and he is a great deal better already. Shall I give him something to make him worse for the other three or four days?"—Life.

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. I 'ave the h'address on this 'ere 'amper.'"—Ideas.

MIXED, JURY TRY CRIMINAL
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
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 its 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 23. 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 segregation - Dodson.
