There is no race of people in the world, claiming to be civilized whose members hate to hear the truth in relation to their unmoral conduct and the wrongful conduct of their children and who are as full of false pride, like unto the Afro-American race, they greatly delight to discuss and read about the short comings or the side steppings of white men and women and their children, but if any Colored editor attempts to mention the fact in the columns of his paper that the moral conduct of many Afro-Americans and their children is far from being what it should be, then they are good and ready to end his days on this earth, and no doubt about it many of those who may happen to read these lines will feel like murdering us for simply referring to the absolute truth and some of them may demand that we "stop sending them the paper." Nevertheless we shall adhere to the plain truth and nothing but the truth whatever, the result may be regardless of who likes or dislikes to hear it. Therefore we will proceed, it is indeed very painful to state that there are many beautiful young Afro-American girls in this city who are being led to destruction every day in the week, and their parents and guardians, to their everlasting shame and disgrace are seemingly not interested in their future welfare. This statement can be proven in many ways, in this connection we will cite one instance to bear out this assertion during last fall and the winter months public dances were held two evenings each week at Odd Fellows Hall, $355 State street, and the mothers and fathers of many bright and promising young girls permitted their daughters whom they claim were the pride of their hearts to attend those public balls of questionable character unattended and finally they became so bold and bad, that for the sake of order and decency the Odd Fellows were forced to appoint an investigating committee to look into the character of the balls that were being held in their hall and the report of that investigating committee as to the true condition of affairs in respect to the balls was more than enough to cause a red hot blush of shame and humiliation to rush up and down the face of every half way respectable Colored man and woman throughout this city. The committee in its report, among other demoralizing things stated, that many of the girls attending these balls, ranged in ages from 14. 16 and on up; that young boys, about their same ages, and men more than old enough to be their fathers, would ing along bottles of whisky to the balls and get the girls beastly drunk with it, and then heartlessly laugh at their shame and disgrace. That some of the men conducting themselves in such a manner, were married, and fathers of grown children; that while the young girls were in an intoxicated condition; the whisky soaked young boys and older men, would take all kinds of undo liberties with them, thus starting or leading them on and downward to the HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY road of utter ruin, or demoralization and degredation from the view point, of pure and virtuous womanhood. The conduct of many beautiful young Afro-American girls, at other times and places is equally as bad as the conduct of those attending the balls referred to every evening in the week, many of them congregate, around 31st and State streets, some of them tender in years, but very bold in their manner and conduct. They hold out all kinds of inducements for men to approach them, and if they are disinclined to do so they will boldly make advances towards the men in order to induce them to part with enough of money to pay their way into the cheap theaters and other places of amusement. Many of these girls can be found hanging around the streets in that vicinity until as late as 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and the language they use while in a half intoxicated condition, is equally as bad and as foul as the language used by many Colored men, who claim to be first class gentlemen. As an evidence, that many parents and guardians of children are not interested in their future moral welfare, for only last week in Judge Goodnow's Court of Domestic relations, a prominent Colored man of this city who is himself married and the father of three of four children was found guilty of being the father of a fifteen months old baby boy, which was brought into this world by a young girl who resided in his family for five or six years. And on the witness stand she declared, that he was the father of her child, that for years, they had sustained married relations, right in his own home and under the very nose of his wife. This is only one of the many cases along this line, that could be elaborated upon. No permanent advance or progress, can be made by the Afro-American race, until its boys and girls and its older members to for that matter, drink in higher ideals, along the lines of decency, honesty and morality.

Mr. Thompson, is looking hale and hearty and evidently the southern climate and his work at Tuskegee agrees with him. CHICAGO, JULY v2, 1911. [Name] MOVEMENT OF WHITE AND NEGRO POPULATION IN NINE SOUTHERN STATES. Washington, D. C., July 17, 1911.—Preliminary statistics showing the consistent and constant cityward movement of the white and Negro population of the nine southern cotton states, based upon the returns for the censuses of 1910, 1900, and 1890, are contained in a comparative statement prepared under the supervision of Mr. William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, in the Bureau of the Census, and issued today by Acting Census Director Falkner. The figures are preliminary and subject to necessary revision later, but it is believed that there will be no material change in the percentages stated. cities and other incorporated places having at least 2,500 inhabitants. In order to obtain a definite measure of the rate of increase it is necessary that the rate pertain to the same area for each census period. Rates of increase, calculated for the places that were classed as urban or rural in 1890, are as follows: The white population of the 1890 cities increased 27.6 per cent between 1890 and 1900 and 46.6 per cent between 1900 and 1910. Similar rates of increase for the urban Negroes are 23.3 per cent in the decade 1890 to 1900 and 30.5 per cent in the decade 1900-1910. For the rural sections of 1890 the rate of increase for the white population was 18.7 between 1890 and 1900, and 17.3 between 1900 and 1910. The increase of the Negroes in the same rural sections was 17.5 between 1890 and 1900 and 8.8 between 1900 and 1910. A comparison of these rates of increase to ably preside as one of the Municipal Court Judges and he has thousands of loyal friends who gladly vote him at any time for Judges of the Circuit or the Superior Court. The nine cotton states concerned are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Of the white people of these states 18.9 per cent lived in urban areas in 1910, 14 per cent in 1900, and 11.6 per cent in 1890. Of the total Negro population of the same states the percentages living in urban areas were 17.7 per cent in 1910, 14.7 per cent in 1900, and 11.8 per cent in 1890. It appears from these percentages that the changes in the proportion of the total Negro population of these states living in the urban sections have been about the same as those in the proportion of the total whites who live in cities. Both white and Negro show a decided movement toward the city. From an urban proportion of 11.6 per cent in 1890 the whites have increased to 18.9 per cent in 1910. During the same period the urban proportion of Negroes increased from 11.9 to 17.7 per cent. While the proportion of whites and Negroes living in city and country can be readily measured, some care is required in stating the rate of increase. This difficulty arises from the fact that portions of the rural area are continually changing into urban districts. Urban population, as defined by the Census Office, is composed of those groups that live in cities and other incorporated places having at least 2,500 inhabitants. In order to obtain a definite measure of the rate of increase it is necessary that the rate pertain to the same area for each census period. Rates of increase, calculated for the places that were classed as urban or rural in 1890, are as follows: The white population of the 1890 cities increased 27.6 per cent between 1890 and 1900 and 46.6 per cent between 1900 and 1910. Similar rates of increase for the urban Negroes are 23.3 per cent in the decade 1890 to 1900 and 30.5 per cent in the decade 1900-1910. For the rural sections of 1890 the rate of increase for the white population was 18.7 between 1890 and 1900, and 17.3 between 1900 and 1910. The increase of the Negroes in the same rural sections was 17.5 between 1890 and 1900 and 8.3 between 1900 and 1910. A comparison of these rates of increase brings out clearly the cityward trend for both races, but shows it to be even greater for the whites than for the Negroes. The rate of increase for the urban whites advanced from 27.6 to 46.6, or a difference of 19 per cent while the rate for the urban Negroes advanced from 23.2 to 30.5, or a difference of 7.2 per cent. The rate of increase in the rural sections was less for both races in the decade ending in 1910 than for that ending in 1900, but the decline in the rate of increase was very much greater for the Negroes than for the whites. For the whites the change was from 18.7 per cent in the first decade to 17.3 in the last 10 ears, a difference of 1.4 per cent. For the Negroes the change was from 17.5 per cent to 8.3 per cent, a difference of 9.2 per cent.

Forty Two Aldermen Out Of Sixty Five Stood By The Broad Ax In Its Successful Fight Against the Noisy Peddlers. CHIEF OF POLICE McWEENY HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO ENFORCE THE ANTI-NOISE ORDINANCE AGAINST THEM IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY. FROM HEREAFTER GAS WILL RANGE IN PRICE FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS FROM 75 TO 68 CENTS PER THOUSAND FEET. SEVEN NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SELECTED BY MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON. BOBERT J. BOULSTON STILL REMAINS PRESIDENT OF THE LIBRARY BOARD. At the meeting of city council, last Monday evening, 42 Aldermen as against 23, stood by The Broad Ax, in its fight on the noisy peddlers, and they manfully refused to vote in favor of amending the city ordinance giving them the permission to shout and make all the noise they want to at all hours of the day and night, while engaged in selling their truck up and down the streets and alleys of this big town and on Wednesday, Chief McWeeny, issued orders to all of his commanding officers, to instruct all the police officers, under them, from now on, to arrest each and every peddler who attempts to "cry his wares or make any unreasonable noise in any manner whatever, while engaged in selling his products, that the peddlers' anti-noise ordinance must be enforced to the letter in all parts of this city, and if Chief McWeeny and his alds will see to it that the ordinance is enforced in the districts or sections of the city where the majority of the Colored people reside and not simply enforce it where the wealthy or the millionaire whites and the rich Colored folks hang out or live then and not until then, can Chief McWeeny honestly claim that he is doing his sworn duty in this direction and that he is perfectly willing to go the limit in order to perform his duty as he has been instructed by the city council to enforce the ordinance right up to the handle and to promptly arrest all of its violators. Naturally we feel mighty good over the successful termination of the peddlers' fight to run the town and everybody in it, for The Broad Ax, led the fight against them and it won out. Much other good work was done by the city council, which has closed up shop until September 25, each and everyone of its members present voted to reduce the price of gas and for the next five years it will range in price from 75 to 68 cents per thousand feet and the result is that the people in general throughout the city are greatfully thanking Alderman H. J. Bauler, for the hard labor he has performed in assisting to bring about ATTORNEY WILLIAM L. MARTIN, THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE... SWANN AND MRS. ELLA. MARTIN. Have Been Indicted by the Grand Jury for Conspiracy, Assault and For Attempting to Defeat the Ende of Justice. It appears that for sometimes Mrs. Ella Martin and her sister Mrs. Bridle Parish, have been enjoying free house rent, for through some misunderstanding with Jesse Binga, the banker and successful real estate broker State St., and 36th Pl., they have been making their homes in one of the many houses and flats, under his control at 3638 Forest ave., and for some reason or other he has been unable to collect any rent from them for more than fifteen months and May 25th, it seems that Mr. Binga, got judgment against them in the municipal court for possession of the house in question, and in due time all of their furniture and other fixings were piled up on the side walk by the officers of the law, where they remained until May 30th and it is claimed that on that date that Mr. Martin secured or employed a number of prize fighting or dead tough No.42 men Out Five Stood by The Broad Ax against the Noisy Peddlers.

On the same evening the city council confirmed the following seven new members of the Board of Education: appointed by Mayor Harrison. School Board Members.

Blake Baldwin. men who hailed from the First ward, that they made a mad rush for the front door that they broke it open, assaulted the man that Mr. Binga had put in charge of the house and moved everything belonging to Mrs. Martin and to Mrs. Parish back into it and 'they are still residing in it without paying any rent for it. And it was on this information and belief that the Cook County grand jury, this week, after looking the ground over, concluded to indict Attorney William L. Martin, the Honorable Thomas Wallace Swann, whom they claim would like to become the head political boss of Gary, Ind., and of Chicago, and Mrs. Ella Martin, for conspiracy, assault and for attempting to defeat the ends of Justice. Their bonds in all the counts against them amounts to three thousand dollars and when they are put on trial in the criminal court, there will be a "Hot Time in the Old Town," for Attorney Martin, is a fighter from a way back for he knows or understands all the tricks of the law. It is too bad that this bitter fight has been carried so far, for no one has the undisputed right to occupy another person's house or other property without paying some kind of rent for it.

National Exhibitions Seen Under Three Flags. Exhibitions, showing in graphic form the prevention of consumption, have been shown in every state in the United States, except Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, and also in most of the Canadian Provinces, and in Mexico, Porto Rico, and Cuba, according to a bulletin issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The bulletin also shows that 25 states and 16 cities have permanent and traveling exhibits besides the two operated by the National Association itself, the total number of such displays being over 200, including about 150 small school exhibits. The first tuberculosis exhibit in America was shown by the Maryland Tuberculosis Commission in January, 1904. In 1906 there were four such exhibits. Today practically all of the larger cities of the country have such displays, and in twenty-five states comprehensive campaigns have been carried on with them. These exhibits are visited annually by millions of people. The American Tuberculosis Exhibition of the National Association is completing six years of continuous service, during which time it has been shown under three flags, in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and has been displayed in 21 states, including every Southern state east of the Mississippi, except West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. The Western Tuberculosis Exhibit of the National Association, just closing to season in Butte, Montana has been shown in Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Montana. As a result of the general educational campaign through the various exhibitions on tuberculosis, millions of pieces of literature have been distributed; millions of people shown how to prevent consumption; and severe states and cities have been roused to take legislative action against this disease. NURSES HEAD CITY CLEAN-UP BRIGADE. Campaign of Women for Cleaner Chicago is Started—All Homes in Poor Districts Will Be Inspected to Is your garbage can clean and is there a lid on it? If not, why not? Is your garage can clean make there a lid on it? If not, why not? A campaign for a "cleaner city" was started yesterday when scores of nurses employed in the health department in connection with the child's welfare work urged upon residents of the poorer sections of the city the necessity for proper removal of garbage. Under the direction of Dr. Caroline Hedger, superintendent of the child's welfare work, placards for an educational campaign against improper removal of garbage will be distributed in various sections of the city next week. The placards will be tacked upon the doors of every tenement dweller or poor householder in the city. The nurses are receiving the cooperation of the Woman's City club and the Citizen Women's club. So that we funnible home would be with out methods of knowing the proper way to care for refuse the cards were printed in six different foreign languages. "When you see you are in a home where the care or disposal of garbage is not understood explain to the housekeeper the necessary things to do," said Dr. Hedger in her instructions to the nurses. "I inspect the premises as well. Look at the garbage can. If it is not supplied with a cover, report the matter to the health department. Where sanitary garbage cans are overflowing find out how often they are emptied each week." The city street department is also expected to lend its assistance in the "cleaner city propaganda" in so far as the regular removal of refuse is concerned. REAL SOUTHERN DEVILISHNESS How They Manufacture Race Prejudice Down South. The Nashville Banner published in the city of Nashville, Tennessee, under date July 15, printed a harrowing tale bearing the caption: "The Inhuman Act of Two Negroes," Sal act is alleged to have been perpetrated by two rough looking Negroes upon Johnnie Bird, a thirteen year old white boy whom they seized and bound to a tree with barbed wire. Johnnie's loud and continued calls for help were without avail until very late in the day when they were heard by passers by who released him all tern and bleeding and restored him to his anxious parents." This was an awfully brutal deed and it showed just how cruel and vengeful the hated Negro is. Strange to say however, these brutes did not rob Mamma's darling. They did not take his candy money or his jack knife or tamper with his chewing gum. These were all found intact. Nashville was of course duly excited after reading this story from the truthful Banner and the proper committees were called together to take action on this outrage by "big burly Negroes." But Oh—that but—before they could get their rifles loaded or they had named the Committee on Bonfire, The Nashville Tennessee of July 16, with a stricter regard for the truth of history, and with an evident desire to avert another bloody race conflict in the South, investigated the boy's story of the assault made upon him by Negroes and published this version which proves both the boy and the Banner to be the Banner Liars of Nashville. Here follows the Tennessee's report of this diabolical and inhuman act.

But as the legislature of this state made no provisions to defray the expenses of the delegates, and as we have something else on tap for those dates, there will be nothing doing in Denver for us at that time. The Forum will have a special program for next Tuesday the 25th Bishop G. L. Blackwell will deliver the principal address. There will be other interesting numbers on the program.

An Old Superstition An old superstition prescribed that if those who were affected with ague would visit at dead of night the nearest crossroad five different times and then bury a new laid egg the disease would be buried.

Phone Aidine 2532 Qualifications Which Each Should Possess—Wanamaker as Example. By ALBON L. HOLSEY. Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things—viz. ability to purchase, knowledge of salesmanship and knowledge of advertising. No successful business is complete without the three, and yet we rarely see a person capable of doing all three creditably. Perhaps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the originator of a certain style of advertising. A man who is skillful in the purchase of raw materials for his factory or of goods for his retail store and is a good salesman will "make a living" in any business. Many colored business men whom we call successful are merely the "making a good living" kind. These men are in the main satisfied to drift along in this manner when if they would add an equal amount of advertising with the same care and judgment their business would in most cases double itself in a few years and give employment to the many persons. Court House Head of University by Oklahoma State Educators. The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by reappointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma University For Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is located in Langston, Okla.; and has under the efficient management of President Inman E. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklahoma fourteen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jefferson City, Mo. Professor Page knows both the value of a classical as well as an industrial education and is thus well qualified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifications call for. Because of the satisfactory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown (Va.) exposition a few years ago. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Public Exercises Held In Many Sections For Great Race Benefactor. Public meetings for the celebration of the centenary of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe have been held in many sections of the country thus far this month by Afro-Americans who appreciate the work which Mrs. Stowe did in creating public sentiment against slavery. Such meetings are eminently befitting for all men who love freedom and personal liberty should revere those who with pen, money, sword and personal influence helped to break down and destroy the unjust traffic in human flesh which lasted for centuries in America. Perhaps the most notable meeting of the many was the one held in Faneuil hall, arranged for and carried out successfully by Afro-American women in Boston. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Women's Anti-lynching society, and her coworkers were prime movers of the celebration in which many distinguished persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama, Mr. Frank Sanborn, Professor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mrs. Agnes Adda, Miss Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Boston Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Harrison published the Liberator, was the Mecca and headquarters of a constant throng of visitors throughout the centennial festivities. Mr. Manning in the exordium of his great speech said: "It makes the hearts of colored people ache to see the federal government going abroad to protect Americans and offering no protection to Americans who need it right at home. No foreign government would do worse to its own or American citizens than the American government is doing to its own citizens by stealing the vote from them. "In the north today you stand idly by and see the principles for which your fathers gave their lives in the civil war being swept away." Alumni Association Organized. An alumni association has been organized by the graduates of the Clayton-Williams, university, Baltimore. This school was founded by Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson and is doing a most excellent work.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION. Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State Aid For Noted School. Wilberforce. O.-The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institutions which usually receive aid from the state. Wilberforce university was the only school whose appropriation for 1911-12 was not cut below that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twenty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years. On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Joiner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. There are four educational institutions in the state for which the legislature appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges had their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cent. The special appropriations amount to $91,220.00; the pro rate of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46,500. This added to the special appropriations makes for Wilberforce $137,720.89 for 1911 and 1912. Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000, for 1911, $12,600; appropriation for industries for 1910 was $4,000, for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important increase, both as to amount and significance, to the plant at this time is the increase in the amount obtained for repairs and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $18,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two years. Many of the buildings are much in need of repair and much improvement on the grounds will be made possible. But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year. An Invidious Inquiry. It is related of the president of a famous college that at one time he allowed his wife to persuade him of the uselessness of fire insurance on household goods, and he allowed his policy to lapse. But, better judgment asserting itself, he finally renewed his insurance. The same day a fire in his wife's room destroyed some of her dresses, which the professor enjoyed as a good joke. In due time the president of the insurance company wrote President Blank this letter: "Dear Mr. Blank—We inclose check for $600, paying your fire claim under our policy B6007. "I note in passing upon these papers that the policy went into effect at noon, Dec. 10, and the fire did not occur until 3 p. m. Why the delay?"
