Foell, Republican candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, was born on a farm in Dubuque County, Iowa, in 1870, being an ideal German-American citizen, for his parents were both born in Wurtemburg, Germany. Receiving his early education in the county and public schools of his native state, and later on he graduated with high honors from Bayless Business College, Dubuque, Ia., Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Ia., class of 1894, and of the Northwestern University Law School, class of 1896, and immediately thereafter he commenced the practice of law, opening law offices in the Atwood building, where he is still located. Until the election of William M. Gemmill as Judge of --- the Municipal Court in 1906 he was associated with him in the general practice of law under the firm name of Gemmill & Foell, and he is now the senior member of the firm of Foell & Barnhart. He was first elected to the City Council from the 21st ward in the Spring of 1906. Re-elected in the Spring of 1908 and again in 1910, each time with increased majorities, and he has served on all the important committees in the Council, being chairman of the Finance Committee, the most important committee during the Council year of 1910 and 1911; and still a member of that committee and the Local Transportation Committee, and also a member of the Chicago Harbor Commission, appointed by Mayor F. A. Busse to make a comprehensive study of the harbor situa- tion in Chicago. He was active in framing and having passed by the last session of the Legislature the harbor enabling legislation under which the city is now proceeding. Alderman Foell has served with great credit to himself for two terms as president of the Marquette Club. He is also an honored member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association, the Germania Club, the Marquette Club, and the Illinois Athletic Club. He is also a prominent Mason, being a member of Oriental Consistory, Lincoln Park Commandery, and Medinah Temple. He is a fine looking batchelor and for more than ten years he has resided at the Virginia Hotel. He received 848 votes, which were cast for him by the members of the Chicago Bar Association on Wednesday, and being a high class gentleman and well fitted in every way for the bench, his thousands of friends, regardless of their political affiliations, will on Tuesday, November 7th, assist to elect him Judge of the Superior Court. THOMAS TAYLOR, JR. Thomas Taylor, Jr., the regular Republican candidate for the place on the Circuit Court bench made vacant by the promotion of Judge Julian A. Mack. For the past eighteen years, has been a Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court of Cook County and is a gentleman of well known legal ability. Mr. Taylor was born fifty years ago and spent his boyhood days in Canton, Ill., where he attended the public schools. He then went to work in the foundry where his father was foreman. By dint of hard study at every available moment during the day and evening he was able to pass the examination and enter Knox College, Galesburg. After spending four years there—paying all his own expenses by working at odd hours each day—he was graduated in 1881 in the class of which Judge Pinckney was a member. He was active in college affairs and was president of the Gnothautii Literary society. In 1882 Mr. Taylor entered the law school at Harvard, from which he was graduated with honor in 1885, receiving the degree of L. L. B. Shortly afterward he was admitted to the Suffolk county (Massachusetts) bar, and for a year practiced law in Boston in the office of Burdette & Gooch. In 1887 Mr. Taylor came to Chicago, since that time has been actively engaged in law practice. As Master in Chancery he has heard and decided upward of 2,000 civil suits. Mr. Taylor is a member of the Chicago University, Law, City, Hamilton and Marquette Clubs and president of the Harvard Club. He is on the executive committee of the Illinois Humane society, is vice president of the Onwentsia Club, and is a member of the Chicago, Illinois and American Bar associations. In 1906 he was appointed by Governor Deneen a delegate to the congress on uniform law. Mr. Taylor is married and has three children. His home is in Winnetka, Ill. At the Bar Primary held by the lawyers of the Chicago Bar Association, Wednesday Mr. Taylor received 691 votes cast being by far the highest vote for Judge of the Circuit Court. And with the assistance of his vast army of warm friends and supporters he will put up a strong fight to win the Circuit Court Judgship, Tuesday, the Seventh of November. DANIEL L. CRUICE Hon. Daniel L. Cruice, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, was born in Buffalo, N. Y., June 30, 1868, receiving his youthful education in the parochial and public schools of Buffalo, the University of New York, and Chicago College of Law. He has been honored with the degree of LL. B. from the Lake Forest University. In order to come into possession of a sufficient amount of money to enable him to partake of such a splendid education along all lines, he worked hard early and late at most any honorable thing he could get to do. In his boyhood days he faithfully served as an A. D. T. messenger boy. He always had his eye steadily fixed on acquiring knowledge, therefore, he worked in the summer months and attended college during the winter months, and for three seasons during vacation periods he engaged on steamships, and sailed on the Great Lakes, and one season on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Shortly after completing his college education, he entered the Buffalo Post Office for two years, and was then transferred to the railway mail service, in which he worked for ten and a half years, working in what is known as the New York and Chicago railway postoffice, on trains running between Rochester, N. Y., and Cleveland, Ohio, and between Cleveland and Chicago. While in the United States mail service he studied law. Graduating from the Chicago College of Law, he was admitted to the bar in 1894. His legal work began at once, and has given him a wide experience as a trial lawyer in many courts in many different states. His experience and training extend into the jurisdictions of law, chancery, admiralty and criminal procedure. The number of his friends is evidence of the faithfulness of his service on behalf of his clients and his fairness to parties opposing him in litigation for many years his Law offices have been on the 12th floor of the Unity Building. During all his life, and particularly during his eighteen years of residence in Chicago, Mr. Cruice has taken a deep interest in public questions. Few men excel him as a student of the commonweal of all the people in the state. Much of his time, energy and money has been spent in the interests of ethical and measures that stood for progress. In 1902 he organized the Referendum League of Illinois, and for several years acted as its president, during which time many questions of public policy were submitted to the voters. As an evidence that he has never attempted to get away from the ranks of the laboring people, he is still an active member of the Lake Seamen's Union and Railway Mail Clerks' Association, and he always takes great pleasure in attending their meetings and taking part in the deliberations. Without the least doubt Mr. Cruice is a true friend to organized labor and he honestly feels that the interest of all laboring people is the same—that they must either stand together or fall together. And no trade organization in the hour of trial has ever been required to exhibit its treasury before being able to engage his services, whether the union had much, little or no money, it was all the same. He presented their rights and championed their case in court regardless of the pay which he might receive for the service. It is, therefore, a great honor to the laboring people and all fair-minded people, of whatever race or creed, to assist at this time to elect Daniel L. Cruice as one of the judges of the Superior Court. November 7th. JOHN J. COBURN John J. Coburn, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, is so well and favorably known as one of the most eminent lawyers in this city—possessing a well balanced and well trained legal mind at every turn in the road, and is more than eminently qualified to honorably serve as one of the Superior Court judges in this city and county. Mr. Coburn has the honor of being born in Cook County on the 14th day of March, 1860, and the greater part of his boyhood days were spent on a farm in the town of Lyons, where the old homestead of his parents still stands and is a familiar landmark to the old settlers in that section of Cook County, and Mr. Coburn drank in his early education in the common schools in the community wherein he was born and resided, and later on he entered the Englewood High School, graduating from it with high honors in 1877. Deciding to become a lawyer shortly after that year, he entered the Union College of Law, graduating from it with all the honors due a diligent and wide awake student, and from that time to the present, he has Eminent lawyer, loyal friend of the common people, popular citizen and Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. 1930 THOMAS TAYLOR, JR. Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court, who received 691 votes as the Chicago Bar Association primary, for Judge of the Circuit Court. been engaged in the general practice of his honored profession, and he has been connected in many of the most important law suits in Chicago. Owing to his judicial temperment and his fairmindedness between the capitalistic classes and the laboring masses. Not so long ago grave and serious questions arose between the South Side street car employees and the traction company, and after much bitterness had been displayed by those interested on both sides of the questions involved in the dispute, and when it seemed that nothing could prevent a serious rupture and that a strike of the worst kind would follow in its wake, it was finally decided to arbitrate the differences. The conductors and motormen unhesitatingly selected Mr. John J. Coburn to look after their interest and to eloquently plead their cause for them, and he presented their side of the case with so much force and in such a logical manner, that the traction officials, after due deliberation, granted to their employees every point that was at issue in the controversy, and a very bad strike was averted. Mr. Coburn is a man of family. In 1890 he was happily united in marriage to Miss Anna M. Valentine, and they are the parents of five children, one son and four daughters, and reside at 5833 West Ontario street. He is thoroughly cosmopolitan, being absolutely free from every particle of race prejudices, and being thoroughly Democratic in his manner and makeup; therefore it is no more than natural for his broad sympathies to spread out over the laboring people of every race and creed, and we thoroughly believe that the readers of The Broad Ax, and the thousands of other voters throughout this city and county, will feel that they are honoring themselves by placing a cross in the square in front of his name on Tuesday, November 7th; thereby placing him in a position where he can treat all men fair, whether of high or low degree, while weighing out even-handed justice as one of the Superior Court judges of Cook county. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholic, Protestant, Priests, Infidels, Single Taxes, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Entered as Second-Class Matter Aug. 10, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 3, 1876. MADAME E. AZALIA HACKLEY HONORED WITH TWO RECEPTIONS. On the Eve of Her Departure on a Retiring Recital Tour Through the West. Last Friday evening Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley gave a reception in hono rof Madame E. Azalia Hackley at the Frederick Douglass Center, 3032 Wabash avenue, and notwithstanding the cold, rainy and disagreeable weather, quite a number of ladies and gentlemen turned out to greet Mrs. Hackley, and she had a hearty hand shake and a pleasant smile for every one she met. On Sunday afternoon, and evening Mrs. Ed. Mead, 6351 Vincennes ave., held a most pleasant reception in her honor, and it was attended by many of the most prominent ladies in this city. Mrs. Thatcher, of Montreal, Canada, Mrs. Clara Lewis, of St. Paul, Minn., and Mrs. Hayes, of Cincinnati, Ohio, being among the number present. Dainty refreshments were served in the dining room by the charming hostess. Mrs. Hackley felt greatly elated over the warm and hearty reception she received by those who called to greet her and bid her an affectionate farewell for some time to come. On Monday morning she left for Aurora, Ill., and from there to Champlain, Ill., and then to Springfield, where she will appear in a retiring recital on Monday evening, October 30th. She will then continue her trip southwestward and westward, reaching Denver, Colo., her old home, Christmas week, where she will be royally entertained by those who knew her before she started out on her brilliant musical career. It is freely conceded, that Madame Hackley, with the great assistance of The Broad Ax, came to this city and put one way over on all those who make any profession of being singers or instructors of classical music among the Afro-Americans—that she set a high standard in this respect, for them to imitate, and that few are able to follow in her footsteps in this direction, and that The Broad Ax was the only newspaper in Chicago to contain a full and complete account of every detail of her retiring recital in this city. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. Our grand rally on last Sunday was not the success we had hoped it would be. We needed $1,500.00, thus far we have received less than $700.00. However, the trustees and pastor are very thankful to the members and friends, who were so kind in helping us in this effort. We are especially grateful to Rev. A. C. Mayo, of Gary, Ind., who preached for us in the morning, and Rev. J. R. Thomas, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church; both of whom did us splendid service. We are very grateful also to the Shilo Baptist Choir, Misses I. Mae Ellison, Marguerite G. Brown, Mr. T. Theo. Taylor, Mrs. Harry Sloan, Mrs. Naive Coleman Lewis, Miss Grace Clark, and Mrs. Marie Burton-Hyram, for the delightful assistance they gave our choir in rendering such a fine program at the recital on Monday night. National and Local Theatrical and Stage Notes Edited by the Stroller or by the Man on the Corner PEKIN THEATRE Presented "The Mayor of Dixie" on Monday night to a packed house. The singing numbers were all catchy and were nicely staged by Buddie Gilmore. The comedy of Cliff Green was laughable others of the cast done creditably. THE GRAND. Opened with their usual new bill with two Colored acts -which were well received. MONOGRAM. Presented an entirely new bill of singers and dancers. The Cilppers scored heavily in their singing and comedy. Daisy Collins, Woody & Marshall and the Merriwethers filled out the bill. STAGE NOTES Bert Williams seems to be the whole show of the Follies, as all you can hear around the hotels and amusement resorts, is have you seen Williams. That reminds me that he has caused quite a craze among the white performers. Two acts on the bill at the Majestic last week were giving imitations of Williams, to much applause. A few seasons ago most every Colored act was attempting to do the same, but it was Avery & Hart, who made a reputation out of their efforts to such an extent that they are the headliners on many bills. The Press is having much to say concerning S. H. Dudley's New Smart Set Co., in his new play "Mr. Beans from Boston," the book is by Mr. Dudley and Mr. Henry Troy formerly leading tenor of the Williams & Walker Co., should Mr. Troy be as successful as a writer as he was singing Tom Lemoniers great song "Consolation," he will be of much benefit to Mr. Dudley for we would have more large shows had we creators. Carita Day has danced her way into a beautiful home which she bought some time ago. She is filling time for the W. V. A. J. Rosamond Johnson has been so successful that he has received a number of offers to write exclusively for big productions. He composed all the music for New Wayburn's "Hello Paris" at the Follies Bergere, New York. Here is some of his compositions. "The Lucky Hoodoo," "I Love My Babe," "Loving Moon," Pilcert Coverdale's Sensational Dance. "The Siberian Dip Whirl," he is also at the Jerome H. Remick Co., Music Publishers. Edmonia Jones and Mr. Cheers are expected in the city soon. It is nearly two years since they were on the Stroll. Washington, D. C., is now the mecca for Colored acts and with the opening of the Howard as a continuous vaudeville house, it will be of large scope as they say that they book such acts as Aida Walker J. Rosamond Johnson's Samboo Girls, Spillers Musical Act, Kraton's Hoop Rollers, Cooper & Robinsons, Avery & Hart, Bobby & Mae Kemp in fact it is reported that the United will book them. Although Chases Theatre is also booked by the United, but Chase don't play Colored acts. The last to play for him was Cole & Johnson in their vaudeville act. In fact Chase don't allow any Colored people to attend the theatre. Ford Dabney owner of the Dabney Theatre of Washington, D. C., has brought the Chelsea Theatre of the District, Louis Mitchell manager. Word comes from Louisville, Ky., that the Ruby Theatre is now owned entirely by White people having bought from Mr. Houston his interest. Bill King is to be returned as manager. Miss Fanny Wise was quite sick last week. She could not finish her time at the Lyre Theatre, Louisville, but remained this week by request of the manager. Miss Wise has been offered a position in a well known vaudeville act. Much is expected of the Alamo Trio Miller Harris, and are offering a reward for a soubrette, who will be satisfied at a $100.00 per week and all percentage and expenses paid. Girls get out of the Chorus on this offer. Perrin, Crosby & Saparo, are having Eastern time arranged. Will open soon. The Crown Garden Theatre at Indianapolis, Ind., is having some improvements made, why don't some of the business meq of that city, build a theatre. It is the most successful theatre in the country, but it is owned by whites. Mr. Archie Greathouse, would be the man to put a Colored theatre in operation. Strange that Colored men, let these opportunities slip by. The best house in Louisville has been taking away from us and I hear that the Colored owners who are building a theatre in Cleveland, Ohio are about to lease it to a white company without as much as giving their own ideas a trial. It seems that there is a lack of confidence among Colored business men and whenever a white man wants to cater to Negroes, he has a far line on the money that there is in it. Only one failure has been recorded and that is of Rosenthal & Benedict, who built the Howard Theatre at Washington, D. C. and after they tried every possible means and lost Thousands of Dollars, they have been lucky enough to unload what to them has been a White Ghost, on two Society Colored Men of the district, who agree to pay a fabulous rent and their greatest assets to draw from, is race sentiment. I wish they would send some to Chicago. LABOR UNIONS APPROVE RED CROSS SEAL Workingmen in Fight Against Tuberculosis, Endorse Sale of Holiday Stickers. Direct approval of the campaign for the sale of Red Cross Seals has been given by the American Federation of Labor, according to an announcement made today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. At the last annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, a resolution was adopted calling on all the members of the Federation to further the sale as much as possible. The resolution reads as follows: "Whereas, The American Federation of Labor has in every possible way aided the movement for the study and prevention of tuberculosis throughout the United States and Canada, and "Whereas, The American National Red Cross has been in the past and is now making an especial effort, through the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, to secure funds to carry on the war against tuberculosis, and by means of the funds raised in this manner has been able to do much effective work in this direction, therefore be it "Resolved, That the American Federation of Labor give its endorsement to the movement of the American National Red Cross, and encourage its members to further in every reasonable way the sale of these seals in their respective communities." There are now four special methods by which consumptive workingmen in the United States are being cared for. In such cities as Albany, Elmira and Binghamton, N. Y., the unions support a separate pavilion or hospital. In cities like Hartford, New Britain and South Manchester, Conn., the workmen contribute towards the maintenance of a fund for the care of consumptives. The employers also contribute to these funds. There are also two national sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis owned and operated by labor unions; one by the International Typographical Union, and the other by the Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union. In Massachusetts, Illinois, and elsewhere, large corporations and manufacturers have agreed voluntarily to care for all their consumptive employees for a limited length of time. "But as long as consumption kills one in every three workingmen between the ages of fifteen and forty-five," says The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, "more education, better shop and home conditions, and more hospitals are needed. Red Cross Seals provide these things." THE MEMBERS OF CHICAGO BAR ASSOCIATION DIVIDED THEIR VOTES AMONG THE VARIOUS JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

COLD WEATHER ADVICE Although winter is not yet here, the days are cool and fires are needed for indoor comfort. This means that indoor conditions are not so good as they were when doors and windows were open for the admission of air all the time. In home, store and factory people are not getting so much good safe air for breathing purposes as they have been geting during all the summer months. For the week ending October-7th, there were 40 deaths from pneumonia; for the seven days ending October 14th, there were 53; for the week ending October 21st, there were 66, an increase of nearly two deaths a day for the two weeks. Pneumonia is a dirty air disease, caused by dry, dirty and overheated air. Most people keep their homes too warm, as a rule above 70 degrees rather than below. Experts on ventilation and room temperature tell us that a temperature of 68 for people that are properly clad and who are in good health, is far better than a higher temperature, say 70 or above. Another important matter is humidity. Most indoor air is too dry, as well as too warm. Especially is this true during the cold weather season. It is a good plan for those who live in flats or steamheated apartments to have evaporating vessels allotted to the radiators and kept filled with water. In houses heated with hot-air furnaces the evaporating pan in the furnace should be kept filled. Diphtheria is on the increase. All the indications now are that there will be a great many cases this winter. How many will depend largely upon the intelligence with which we combat this scourge to child life. Parents should give to the health authorities their very best help by carrying out the instruction and advice given by the Department of Health. Don't neglect the child's sore throat. Call your doctor early and have antitoxin administered as soon as possible. Do not allow a sick child to mingle with well children. Obey with great care the instructions of the quarantine orders. In other words be as careful to protect your neighbor's children as you would have him be to protect yours. HAS HELD JOB FORTY YEARS. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 23.—George W. Hays celebrated his fortieth anniversary as crier in the United States Court here a few days ago. He is one of the best known members of the Odd Fellows in this country.

He is also most highly respected by the members of his own race, the Afro-American race, and by those belonging to the Anglo-Saxon race. TAFT LOANS PAULINE To NE GEO STATE FAIR.

The six leading states in the salt industry are Michigan, New York, Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana and California. In the middle of the eighteenth century locusts were so abundant in New England that days of fasting and prayer were appointed, owing to the wide reaching calamity. The number of farms reported in Mississippi in 1910 was 273,820 as compared with 220,903 in 1900, an increase of 53,017, or 24 per cent. Viper Broth. Viper wine and viper broth were in old times in high repute among the Romans and Greeks for purifying the blood and invigorating wornout constitutions, these reptiles forming a necessary article in the shop of the apothecary. A tea made of the leaves of the "laughing plant" of Arabia puts the partaker into a hilarious humor for an hour or so. Use the Fork Use the knife as little as possible. Cut tender foods, such as potatoes, eggs and the like, with the fork, using the knife only when the fork would be an inconvenience. Cochineal. A Set of Ivory Teeth. John Greenwood established the first dental office at New York city in 1788. In 1790 he carved in ivory an entire set of teeth for President Washington. Fear the Fire God.

Fashion Pointers A Baltimore savant says Atlas, who held up the world, was a woman. Women certainly can hold up the world during the spring and fall bonnet seasons.—Grand Rapids Press.

Justiciable. "justicable," being a perfectly correct word, is entitled to a place alongside of "innocuous desuetude."—Chicago Tribune. Better still, lean a stepladder up against "innocuous desuetude," making sure of the quantity in "desutude," and then take "justicable" up to the top between a pair of tongs, lean over and let it fall in.—Boston Globe.

They Can't Be "Fixed," and They Are Alwave Polite. The laws of France relative to the out of door life of the masses are made in the interest of the people. Furthermore, they are enforced. There is no fixing things with a French policeman. If your bicycle has suddenly been twisted into junk by a careless driver the belted and brass-buttoned gentleman who arrives on the scene questions you with intelligence and jots down in his notebook the facts of the occurrence as near as he can ascertain them. Throughout the interview he is polite, alert and painstaking in getting at the exact truth, and, whether you or the offending driver or both accompany him to the police station, he conducts you with a quiet dignity and an air of fulfilling his duty. It does not make the slightest difference in France who you are or whether or not you have mutual friends or come from his "warid" or are a relative of Congressman So-and-so. If you are at fault you must pay the damages. If the other fellow is to blame you will be ushered from the presence of the commissaire de police with as much ceremonial politeness as would be shown at a diplomatic interview. If it is boiling hot or freezing cold and you are in need of information, go to the nearest policeman, address him as "monseur" and raise your hat. He will immediately return you a military salute, listen attentively and give you, as carefully as possible, the necessary information, saluting you again as you raise your hat to leave him.—F.
