BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR THO GROUND ON GOVERNOR'SD The writer, last Monday evening boarded the special fast train which makes double quick time from this city to Springfield, Ill., over the rails of "The Only Way" the Chicago and Alton Railroad, and after enjoying a fine night's rest in one of the lower berths in the Pullman Car, the train and street cars in the Capital city landed us at Camp Lincoln early Tuesday morning safe and sound, and three days and nights were spent in Camp by us as the special guest of Colonel John R. Marshall, and the other members of his staff. Shortly after arriving on the camp grounds, a tent was provided for us right by the side of Col. James H. Johnson, by Captains James S. Nelson and John L. Fry, and it was fine sleeping in a tent each night, on a cot, with the green grass for a carpet and with two blankets for cover. Each morning while in camp we would get up at five o'clock sharp and be out walking around on the grounds by the first Reveille at 5:15 A. M. and would answer present at the mess call, at 6:00 A. M., after getting on the outside of our early morning meal, which we would finish in time to walk out on the field and witness the Guard mounting at 6:40 A. M. and each day we kept on moving at a rapid pace in order to keep in touch with all the important movements of the officers and members of the regiment, in the evening after mess, we would take in the fine band concerts held in the grand stand and they would be listened too each evening by more than a thousand lovers of high class music, and on all occasions Prof. Berry and the members of his band were at their best. Bright and early Thursday morning, we accompanied Mrs. J. R. Marshall, Mrs. W. T. Jefferson and Mrs. R. R. Jackson, down to the target range, and after taking steady THE COLORED PYTHIANS. Not less than 30,000 visiting Colored men and women have been in Indianapolis this week in attendance on the Knight's of Pythias convention and the meetings of the associate order of women. As is the case with similar organizations among the whites, membership is granted in these orders only to persons of good character and standing, and it was expected that the visitors would represent the race at its best. This expectation proved to be well founded, but even Indianapolis white citizens, acquainted as they are with the resident Negro population and its general intelligence and good repule, experienced surprise at the uniformly highgrade of citizenship represented by the visiting strangers, indicated by their official proceedings, their department in public and their general bearing and appearance. In connection with any gathering of the size some HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY aim with one of the improved guns, under the direction of Captain W. T. Jefferson, who is one of the most expert marksmen in this country and inspector of rifle practice, for the regiment, we blazed away at the Bull's Eye, but missed it, and a red flag was run up in honor of our shot for we raised some dust then, Mrs. Jefferson tried her hand at the gun and she brought up two red flags as she was doing some shooting and after she had finished, John T. Morton, who resides in Austin, started in to instruct Captain Jefferson, how to handle a gun, at the same time stating that he did not see how any one could miss hitting the bull's eye, so he started in to try it, and as soon as he picked up the gun his hand began to shake and when he was finally ready to let her go he failed to hit anything at all and he was two miles away from even bringing up or down a red flag and then he received the horse laugh from all those present, and before he can be received into the full fellowship of the regiment, he will be forced to pay a heavy fine for his poor shooting. During the rapid firing we wended our way into pit and distinctly heard the hot steel pointed bullets as they wizzed over our head, it was an exetting time for a short while and they sounded like real war and that there was terrific fighting on the firing line. In conclusion Gov. and Mrs. Charles S. Deneen were highly pleased with the appearance of the officers and members of the regiment and at his request the Musical Drill was repeated several times; showing that he and his staff officers were much interested in it, after being presented to the officers and visitors by Col. Marshall, he delivered a plain and practical talk to them. Between three and four thousand people were on the ground on Governor's Day, and they all spoke in the highest praise of the Eighth Regiment. disorder is almost inevitable through the behavior of irresponsible hangers on, but there was the minimum of this this week, and it is not too much to say that far more disturbance is the rule as an accompaniment of the coming of an equal number of white visitors. If the Colored Knights took especial pains that orderliness should prevail, it was a manifestation of commendable race pride that should delight Booker Washington's heart. The parade of yesterday was admirable in every respect and reflected credit on all concerned. The convention altogether has served to create a new respect in the minds of white citizens for the Colored brethren and a better comprehension of their efforts, achievements and possibilities. If the Knights and their friends have found their stay profitable and satisfactory, then the convention has served a double purpose and has been indeed worth while. —The Indianapolis Star, August 29, 1911 CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 2, 1911.

The regular years work at the Illinois College of Law begins September 5, 1911. This law school is one leading schools of its kind in the West, occupying an entire building at 12 East Erie street, and conducts both morning, afternoon and evening classes. In the past more Afro-American law students have attended the Illinois College of Law than any other western law school, and the percentage of its students who pass the bar examination is much larger than that of any law school in Illinois. Prof Albert H. Puitney, has honorably served for some years as Dean of the Illinois College of Law and as an instructor in law he has no superior. Mr. Putney is an author of considerable note and his works on "Legal Propositions on the Law," consisting of eight to ten volumes, can be found in all the leading law offices in this city and other sections of the country. Last year, ten Afro-American students enrolled their names on the roster of the Illinois College of Law, and well on to that same number will be present at the opening of the fall term Tuesday, September 5, to persue their studies for the coming year. RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN OPENS. National Office in Washington—Plan to sell 100,000,000—Over $300,000 Realized Last Year. If expectations for the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals this year, as announced by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis today, are realized, one hundred million of holiday stickers or a million dollars worth, will be so'd. The National Tuberculosis Association will this year for the first time be National Agent for the American Red Cross in handling the sale of seals. A new National office has been opened in Washington, and an initial order has been placed for 50,000,000 seals, although it is expected that double that number will be sold. The charge to local agents for the seals will be 12 1-2 per cent of the gross proceeds, the national agent furnishing the seals and advertising material, and taking back all unsold seals at the end of the season. Postmaster General Hitchcock has Owing to the fact that many people last year used Red Cross Seals for postage, the Post Office Department has given orders that letters or packages bearing seals on the face will not be carried through the mails. This will be the third year that the seals have been sold on a National basis. In 108 over $125,000 was realized from the sale; in 1909, nearly $225,000; and in 1910 nearly $310,000. The slogan for this year's sale is "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Seals." New York State led the sale last year with 5,955,872 seals. Ohio coming next with 3,743,427, and Wisconsin third with 2,770,112. In addition to these, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts Connecticut, California and Rhode Island sold over a million each. Nashville, Penn., selling 200,000 was the only city receiving over 100,000 seals which sold every one of them. Birds Eye View of Camp Lincoln at Springfield, Ill. BY A SPECIAL ASSISTANT WAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE BROAD AXI CHAPLAIN JORDAN CHAVIS HELD INSTRUCTIVE RELIGIOUS SERVICES ON SUNDAY MORNING. WHICH WAS LARGELY ATTENDED BY THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE EIGHTH REGIMENT. The Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard, commonly referred to by the Colored people, not only in Chicago, but throughout the State of Illinois, as the pride of their race, left Chicago with headquarters and six companies of the command on Friday, August 25th, for Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, on their annual tour of encampment. The remaining six companies, scattered throughout the State, were timed to leave their respective stations so as to arrive in Springfield at Approximately the same time as the Chicago companies. had the advantage of loyalty of my officers, and, with that valuable asset I forged ahead until to-day I make no empty statement when I say that the Eighth Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard, is one of the best, if not the best, trained bodies of men in the National Guard. When I say this I do not wish to appear to be boastful of the command, of which I am the head, but this same estimate is placed upon the regiment by the Brigadier General and Staff, Adjutant General and Staff, and nearly every commander of regiments in the State. We The Broad Ax correspondent, assigned to cover this tour, left Chicago with Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson, who was in command of the six companies. The march to the station from the armory, the entraining, the trip to Springfield, the detraining, and the march to the camping ground upon their arrival were unaccompanied by any mishaps or disorder. Colonel Marshall, the regimental commander, was in Indianapolis attending the Knights of Pythian encampment and joined the regiment on the morning of its arrival in camp. Those who have not had the pleasure of seeing this regiment in camp can hardly realize or appreciate the thorough and orderly manner in which it is conducted. The camp grounds skirt the South-easterly border of the city of Springfield. The arrangement of the tents for the week's tour of instruction divides the companies into twelve streets, at the head of each which is situated the company's commander. Immediately in front of the streets and behind the company commanders' quarters are the quarters of the battalion commanders and their staff. Lying just to the rear of the battalion street, and facing the entire camp, are the quarters of the regimental staff. Dot this entire arrangement with giant trees, the foliage of which overlaps, and you have a picture of Camp Lincoln. The parade grounds approximates two square miles lies in front of the company streets. Here in this tented city for one week nearly a thousand men, including the officers, from day to day go through a routine patterned after, and conforming to as near as may be, the regulations of a United States army post. The minutest details up to the executive work under the supervision of the commander of the regiment are all performed with clock-like precision and surprising exactness. If any skeptic witnessing these scenes, which your correspondent has had the pleasure of observing during his stay here, had any doubt about the ability of Negro men to successfully command their fellows, he is immediately converted to the converse view by the actual demonstration that his first opinion is unfounded in fact. Colonel John R. Marshall, the commander of the regiment, is at once a military genius, and the respect and confidence that officers and men alike seem to place in his ability and judgment makes for a working system, which only those two elements can accomplish. Your correspondent for a brief moment after Colonel Marshal had left the drill grounds in Tuesday afternoon had an interview with him on the general subject of the regiment. "This regiment," said the Colonel, "has had a number of hard knocks during its existence. The one thing, however, that has made me persevere in a determination to do or die has been the loyalty of my officers and men. During the early period of our career in the Guard my hopes were not very buoyant in regard to the ultimate outcome. I felt, however, that success could be attained proportionate to the energy and effort put forth in developing the recruits and training the officers, I No.48 had the advantage of loyalty of my officers, and, with that valuable asset, I forged ahead until to day I make no empty statement when I say that the Eighth Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard, is one of the best, if not the best, trained bodies of men in the National Guard. When I say this, I do not wish to appear to be boastful of the command, of which I am the head, but this same estimate is placed upon the regiment by the Brigadier General and Staff, Adjutant General and Staff, and nearly every commander of regiments in the State. We have certainly worked hard to accomplish this end and I feel particularly proud of having attained such remarkable success, in view of the many handicaps. You may say for me that the Colored people in the State of Illinois have no better asset in the matter of their advancement and recognition than this organization. Indeed," he continued, "the reputation of this organization, and, accordingly, the recognition it gets without prejudice or stint is the cause of the Colored people being considered and recognized in places and on occasions that, but for this organization, they would not enjoy. I have no doubt that the Colored people appreciate the organization, but I do want and hope that they will take a more enthusiastic and live it in science, since it is the only one of its kind in this country, officered and it is from Colonel to Corporal by members of its own race." Thursday was Governor's day. This was the big day of the tour. An elaborate program was mapped out and carried into effect with clock-like precision in honor of the Governor, Charles S. Deneen. The Governor arrived in the afternoon and was received at the entrance to the camp grounds by the 1st battalion, under the command of Major R. R. Jackson. The usual Governor's salute was fired and he was escorted to the Adjutant General's headquarters, which lies on the crest of a hill immediately in the rear of the camp grounds. After the formalities incident to this ceremony had been gone through at the Adjutant General's headquarters, Colonel Marshall and his officers paid the Governor an official visit. Later on the Governor and his Staff returned the visit. The regiment was then formed and the Governor or "trooped the line," after which the Governor returned to the Adjutant General's headquarters and social amenities which would have made the Southern "crackers" turn green with envy were indulged in. After mess, which, in point of elaborateness vied with the best hotels in Chicago, parade was formed and the regiment passed in review before the Governor and his Staff. Fully four thousand people were on the grounds. After the parade, the citizens of Springfield that were visiting the camp grounds were treated to a musical drill such as they had never before witnessed. It was called Butt's manual and consisted in evolutions by the entire regiment in extended order. The music being played by the regimental band. The sight was inspiring and the precision with which the soldiers executed the musical drill won the applause of all who witnessed this novel scene. Altogether, Governor's day was commented upon by those that were present on other Governor's days during this season of encampment as being the most successful of the year. The number of visitors during this tour of encampment from Chicago and other parts of the State were greater than any previous year during the history of the regiment. Among those from Chicago were Mrs. John R. Marshall, wife of the Colonel, Mrs. R. R. Jackson, Mrs. William T. Jefferson. (Continued on page 2.)

The Amount of Hot Water Used by the Average Family has increased tenfold in as many years. The more we learn about the science of keeping healthy and happy the more hot water we use. The average family uses nowadays about 50 gallons a day. It takes all of 50 gallons to give every member of the family a refreshing bath and furnish plenty for the dish-washing, scrubbing and the laundry tubs. The heating of 50 gallons on a stove means a fire for an hour, a fuel expense of 12 cents and a blast furnace temperature throughout the house. The same volume of water can be heated with a little compact gas heater and delivered right to faucets in every room in a few minutes. The gas used will cost less than 7 cents and the house will be kept cool. We sell these little gas water heaters in several styles—one large enough for the average family for $15—small payments if you like. This one is so popular that we have put out over Five Thousand of them this year. Of course we deliver and connect them for domestic purposes free. Just mail or phone your name and house number to our headquarters or our nearest store and we will do the rest. The Peoples Gas Light & Coke Company, Peoples Gas Bldg., Michigan Boulevard. HOME MISSION PATHFINDER LIVED IN PERILOUS TIMES. First Missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church Came Up Through Many Difficulties—Had Thrilling Experience With Indians—Jonathan Pointer as Interpreter. A great celebration in memory of John Stewart, who was the first home missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church, is being planned for the third Sunday in October, at which time it is hoped to raise a large sum for mission work. The details of the proposed celebration are in the hands of Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, the eloquent and efficient field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Thomas conceived the idea, which is being backed by the leading spirits in the denomination. "John Stewart." says Dr. Thomas, "was one of those early characters of the race whose achievements should be held in grateful memory. He was born in Powhatan county, Va., in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He was very energetic and of a studious disposition. He had strong religious convictions and joined the Methodist church at an early age. Being satisfied that he had been called to the missionary work, he went to Ohio, where he at first labored among [Name] a few white people." He next went to the Wyandotte Indians, where he inbored successful against superstitions and other difficulties. The interpreter of this tribe was a colored man, Jonathan Pointer, who had adopted all of the customs of the tribe. "Pointer tried to discourage him, reciting the difficulties that Roman Catholics had encountered with the tribe. Mr. Stewart secured his permission, however, to attend a religious feast and dance. In the middle of the feast he was allowed to speak to the Indians about the blessings of Christianity, Pointer acting as the interpreter. At the conclusion of his exhortation Chief Bloody Shirt instructed his men to shake hands with the missionary. "Stewart persevered, though often discouraged, and eventually succeeded in getting Pointer to accept Christianity. Many conversions followed, especially in 1817, when he made a most energetic campaign. He was shortly afterward ordained as a local preacher. He passed away in 1823, a victim of consumption. "The work started by this pioneer missionary caused some enthusiastic persons to organize the first missionary society of the denomination in 1810, and the 12,000 missionaries now working in every part of the globe may be said to have got their first inspiration from this humble man of God." Dr. Thomas hopes to make the celebration country wide and will gladly receive any suggestions as to how it should be done at his home, 2111 Druld Hill avenue, Baitimore. Colored Soldiers For Philippines From recent reports it appears that the United States is very anxious to enlist a large number of colored soldiers for service in the Philippine Islands. Recruiting stations for these purposes are already in operation in Atlanta and Macon, Ga. There are similar stations in other sections of the south. Lieutenant John Smyington is the recruiting officer. The Trend of Political Sentiment. The trend of opinion among a large and diversified number of colored voters is toward independence in politics. Along this line of thought the Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age says: The black man should stand on his rights and give both his vote and moral support to individuals who believe the Negro has rights that should be respected. GATHERING OF PYTHIANS. Features of Biennial Session to Be Held at Asbury Park, N. J. Asbury Park, N. J.-Local fraternal circles are all agog over the forthcoming biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemisphere. The session will open on Sunday, Sept. 3, with the biennial sermon by Rev. W. S. Carpenter of Philadelphia. Formal welcoming services will be held the next day, addresses of welcome being delivered by Mayor T. Frank Appleby and Rev. William Wallace, grand chancellor for New Jersey. Responses will be made by Supreme Chancellor W. Ashbire Hawkins of Baltimore and Mrs. Hettie Nix of Kansas City, head of the courts of Calanthe. A parade of the uniform rank will take place in the afternoon led by Brigadier General D. M. Poppy of Florida and Adjunct General J. B. Loving of California. A competitive drill will take place at night. The sessions of the supreme lodge and supreme court will be held at Morrow's hall, where the newly elected supreme officers will be formally installed Friday, Sept. 8. The order maintains a beneficial department, which has more than met all expectations within the past two years. Every claim has been met, and a neat surplus is now in the hands of Supreme Treasurer W. A. Heathman of Providence. R. I. The present supreme chancellor is one of the best known lawyers in the country and is prominently connected with a number of organizations. He is forty-eight years of age, and was educated at Morgan college. Baltimore and the law school of Howard university. TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING Solicitors Should Not Exaggerate Conditions—Their Mission Defined. By ALBON L HOLSEY. Advertising solicitors sometimes do much to discourage the advertiser by exaggerating the value of their papers as advertising media. Many of them seem to have in mind as they work nothing save their commission. Such a spirit is bound to react harmfully because the interests of the advertiser demand the most thoughtful attention from the advertising solicitor since he is the man to be directly benefited. The solicitor's commission should be a secondary consideration. No solicitor should attempt to sell space to an advertiser unless he is reasonably sure that it will pay him. Merely filling the advertising page with advertisements of no value is no test of the competence of a solicitor. Suppose a magazine claiming to be national in scope fills its advertising pages with purely local advertisements? If the circulation is national, then less than one-tenth is purely local, and if its rate to these advertisers is based on its circulation its advertisers are wasting nine-tenths of this money. Unless its solicitor acquaints these advertisers with the truth of the situation it is adopting a bad policy to build up a lasting clientele of advertisers. Such thoughtlessness makes it difficult for the conscientious solicitor to convince the advertiser of a real valuable advertising proposition. Annual Session of Mystic Shriners. The thirteenth annual session of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will meet in Atlantic City, Sept. 5 and 6. Only Knights Templars and thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Masons are entitled to membership in this body of bona fide Masons, which is divided into a northern and a southern jurisdiction. R. H. Hueles of New York is head of the northern jurisdiction, and Joseph L. T. Smith of Baltimore is head of the southern end. Temples are at present in all of the large cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Richmond, Va.; New Orleans, Atlanta, Ga.; Portland, Ore., and Jacksonville, Fla. Eugene Phillips of New York, the present potentate, will very likely be re-elected. J. H. Murphy of Baltimore, the present imperial recorder, has been urged by a number of Scottish Rite Masons to run for imperial potentate, but it is said that he entertains no ambitions in that direction. Jose E. Sherwood of St. Paul, Minn., the present chief rabban, is also mentioned for the office. A. T. Waller of Baltimore, the present imperial treasurer, will probably be re-elected. The session is expected to be largely attended. Among the social events is a parade of the nobles and a big reception at Fitzgerald's auditorium. Under the caption, "Get Out and Dig," the Portland (Ore.) Advocate says neither success nor good fortune will come to any one unless he gets out and digs. To remain idle and sit around and grumble about conditions will never aid any man in gaining the things that he most needs. Such practice weakens the character and unfits it for the pressing needs of the hour. THE BROAD AX CAN BE POUNED ON SALE AT THE FOLLOWING NEWS STANDS.

MM. PONTON Grave lesues Which Confront the Gen- eral Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Its Mesting In Kansas City, Mo, In May, 1912—The Situa- tion Stated. ‘Jackson, Miss—The approach of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal cburch, ike all epoch making events, evokes much iscussion as to the issues to be de- idea and the men to be honored ‘There is no getting around the fact that the general conference of the Af- rican Methodist Episcopal church in Jegislating for a great church and elevating men to positions of trust and honor is one of the truly great meetings held among Afro-Americans. At looks like four or five bishops to méet the growing demand caused by the expansion of the church on the one hand and the death and inability of several bishops on the other. ‘There is a tarze number of men in the eburch who could Gil the episcopacy or any other office with credit and honor, and many of thep are being constantly mentioned in connection with that of- fice.

There are many men in the Seld, but it is not ‘the purpose of this article to deal with them all.at this writing. ‘There is no more trying service in ‘our racial life than service in a Chris- tian organization. To be sure there are certain compensations — mostly spiritual—that the individual gets from the knowledge of a work well done in behalf of his people.
