WAYMAN, WALTER CLYDE JONES, LEN SMALL, RICHARD YATES. AND THE OTHER GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES WILL ALSO IN THE NEAR FUTURE TURN THEIR BATTERIES AND ELOQUENCE ON THE VOTERS OF THIS CITY. Last Sunday afternoon at Orchestra Hall, memorial services were held in honor of the late John P. Altgeld, who was born in Germany, December 30, 1847, raised in Mansfield, O., where his poor parents located on a small farm, upon landing in this country seeking fame and fortune, and dying at Joliet, Ill., March 12, 1902, after he had risen from working on the railroad tracks at $1.25 per day to Judge of the Superior Court or Cook County and on up to Governor of the great State of Illinois. The hall was filled from end to end and hundreds of people were turned away being unable to find standing room, more than five hundred of the most distinguished friends of the late Governor occupied the boxes and seats on the platform. Judge and Mrs. Edward F. Dunne, Judge and Mrs. Edward O. Brown, Miss Jane Addams, Bishop Samuel Fallows, Joseph A. O'Donnell, Mrs. John P. Altgeld, Mr. and Mrs. Waldemar Michelson, Judge and Mrs. M. L. McKinley, Editor Louis F. Post, State Senator Joseph P. Mahoney, Joseph S. Martin, Judge and Mrs. Dennis E. Sullivan, Hon. John E Traeger, Henry Stuckart, William L. O'Connell, Frank J. Loesch, T. J. Scofield, J. J. Townsend, Mr and Mrs Herman Molner, Thomas Cusack and Miss Margaret Haley, were among those occupying seats in the boxes and on the platform the writer was also honored with a seat on the platform. Daniel L. Cruice presided in a most able manner. Brilliant eulogies were delivered by Hons. Samuel Alschuler, Edward F. Dunne, William J. Bryan and Rev Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati, O. President of the Constitutional Convention of that state. All the speakers were warmly received by the vast audience, Rev. Thomas E. Cox offered prayer at the beginning and at the close of the annual meeting to "keep alive the inspiring history of John P. Altgeld, volunteer soldier, jurist, statesman, publish and humanitarian." Under the directorship of Mr. Arthur Dunham, the music was furnished by the Sinai Temple choir, and at the conclusion of the singing each lady member of the choir was presented with a huge bunch of American Beauty Roses. The Hon. Samuel Alschuler, who was always a close friend and a warm admirer of John P. Altgeld, delivered the following oration at his memorial services, Sunday, March 10, 1912: "It seems but yesterday, and not a decade, since our tears mingled with the soil that closed the new-made grave of John P. Altgeld. "The intervening years have keenly felt the absence of his virile pen, his eloquent tongue and his forceful example. It cannot be said of him as of many others in history, that he lived too long for the good of his fame, or that he died under circumstances or just in time to rescue his name from oblivion. "As his life was a constant devotion to humanity, and his existence a con- tinuous self-sacrifice, his untimely death only cut short yet more devotion, and yet more sacrifice. "Justice was his consuming passion; popular education his fondest hope, and corruption in public service his pet aversion. For the first he plead and strove and sacrificed; for the second he planned and wrought and builted; and against the last he inveighed and threatened and thundered. His love of justice forms in many humane enactments and changes in the law, and in the advocacy of many others. His enthusiasm for popular enlightenment, coupled with his great constructive genius, gave impetus to educational progress, and supplied vast addition to our educational facilities. "The implacable foe of all evil practices in government, he boldly and fiercely grappled with the many-headed, many-tentacled monster of official corruption, and beat it, for a time at least, into subsidence, and compelled at least temporary release of its unholy grasp. "He well realized that corruption of public servants is the greatest crime against the public welfare; that it eats, saps, corrodes and destroys the very foundations of our social system, and that unless curbed and arrested, the structure must fall, and our government must share the fate of those many others which have crumbled and disappeared as the result of corruption and official recreaney. "Altgeld's call of the people to duty has not gone wholly undeeded. The things for which he stood, oft times quite alone, have become the radiating centers of present thought—the rallying points of modern political action. While not, perhaps, the discoverer of great truths, he did more—he helped bring the people to a realizing sense of destructive conditions, and dangerous tendencies, which, though well known, were endured and tolerated because they had been all too common. "His great task was not, and in the nature of things could not be and never can be completed. So long as men remain cast in their present mold, there will be justice to be upheld, equality among men to be maintained, vice and corruption to be combatted." "These occasions would be indeed a mockery and a hypocrisy, a reflection upon, and not a loving tribute to him whose memory we honor, if the things he stood for did not find in ourselves more than mere passive approval, and high-sounding praise. "Let us today truly and in good faith commemorate the life of this great exemplar of justice and equality among men, this foe of hypocrisy and corruption and greed, by dedicating ourselves to the cause of equal rights and justice, and of eternal, unyielding, resistance to graft, corruption and all dishonest practices, by whatever name or in whatever form they may be manifested." The Swedish-American Republican League of Illinois has endorsed state Senator Charles F. Hurburgh, for governor of this state, Senator Hurburgh is "The man who wrote the Two-cent- (Continued on Page 2.) 5 Republican candidate for re-nomination at the primaries.

His brilliant record as a legislator speaks eloquently in his behalf. He deserves the support of every voter in his district. The campaign of vituberation, fakehoods, and abuse waged by his enemies, proves the desperate straits they are in, for they certainly cannot advance the interest of their candidate by making misleading statements, and urging Mr. Green's success as a reason why he should be defeated. For what we want is a successful man to represent us. One who has not made a success himself, certainly cannot represent the race. We want a man in the Legislature who is not poverty stricken and is far removed from temptation or graft. One who will work and hustle for the race at Springfield and not for himself.

Governor Charles S.

Wayman, Walter Clyde Jones, Len Small, Richard Yates and the other Gubernatorial candidates will also in the near future follow suit and turn their batteries and eloquence on the veters of this city. EDWARD D. GREEN Concluded from page one. Mr. Green made a good working member of the House? Has he been loyal to the race? If he has he deserves to be nominated and elected. He succeeded in holding up a resolution on a direct vote for U. S. Senator, indorsing a pending amendment to the Constitution that would have repealed the fourteenth amendment. He led the fight against the recall and forced a compromise. He worked, voted against, and helped defeat the Initiative Referendum. The full train crew bill that would have caused the removal of chair car porters, running on trains in this state. He passed a bill preventing discrimination in the price of burial lots and graves in cemeteries, thus enabling us to bury at Oakwoods and other grave yards, and at the closing hours of the session worked through the House an appropriation of one-hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) for the Eighth Regiment to build an armory, to say nothing of his anti-mob law that caused the removal of a sheriff at Cairo, passed during his first term, thus reaching the high water mark of race legislation in this state. This is his record, can you beat it Mr. Voter! JOHN HRUBEC.

County Treasurer in Circular Letter Declares That Protests Against Increase in Real Estate Levies Are Made Too Late. In answer to thousands of complaints against increased taxes on real estate this year, County Treasurer William L. O'Connell, has issued a circular letter explaining that he is powerless to do anything but collect taxes as levied and advising taxpayers that all they can do is to grin and bear it. The circular letter points out that the taxpayers should have made their complaints several months ago to the board of review in order to secure reductions. "The county collector is simply the collecting officer of Mr. O'Connell. "He cannot hear complaints. He must collect taxes or sell the property." The letter also shows that the reason for the increase is due to the fact that the board of assessors, in accordance with the statutes, revalued all the real estate in Chicago last year before the assessment was levied and passed on to the board of review for final adjustment. A revaluation is made every four years. One of the laregst increases was voted by the citizens of Chicago, when they approved the bond issue of the sanitary district. The tax here was raised from 37 cents per $100 valuation to 71 cents. The towns of West Chicago, North Chicago and Lake View have additional taxes for boulevards. The state tax is 35 cents, the county tax 56 cents, the city tax $1.50, the school tax $144. These, with the park and sanitary district taxes, make the burden of the taxpayers run from $4.56 per $100 valuation to $5.37. Treasurer O'Connell explained in his letter that the valuation for assessing purposes is one-third of the actual valuation. THE CLARION OF NASHVILLE TENN, PRAISES THE COLORED PRESS ASSOCIATION OF CHI CAGO. In a recent issue the Clarion of Nashville, Tenn., spoke as follows, in praise of the Colored Press Association of Chicago: TAXPAYERS ARE TOLD Only Collecting Officer Largest Increase "We congratulate the Editors and publishers of the four Negro weekly papers published in Chicago, for taking the wise step in organizing a Colored Press Association of that city and establishing a news bureau, with Julius F. Taylor, President; S. B. Turner, Vice-President; Wm. D. Neighbors, Secretary; R. S Abbott, Treasurer. The above named persons are Editors and Publishers of the following papers respectively: The Broad Ax, The Illinois Idea, The Illinois Chronicle, The Chicago Defender. As an editorial in The Broad Ax well says, this organization will uniformly increase the usefulness and service of the Press to the people, and that weekly meetings will be held to arrange topics of race interest and occurrences affecting the race will be considered and discussed and the attitude of the Press thereon be declared. This move should be taken in every city and the race and Press will be benefited in more than one way thereby. Then let all newspaper men in every city follow the good Chicago Editors in organizing a Press Association and News Bureau where there are two or more in a city also in County and State." CARE OF CONTAGION Chicago needs a lot of things in order that it may be a safer city to live in. But just at this time the one particular thing needed is better hospital facilities for those sick with the contagious or communicable diseases. At present facilities are shamefully lacking. Think of it, the great city of Chicago and the County of Cook combined have only about 200 beds for the care of those sick with scarlet fever or diphtheria. There should be 2,000 such beds in hospitals equipped in every way to take care of them. These hospital facilities should be provided, first, to properly care for the afflicted, nearly all of whom are children, and secondly to protect the well by preventing the spread of contagion. The people of Chicago will have a chance to speak their minds on this important subject on April 2nd next when they will be asked to vote yes or no on a proposed bond issue of $308,000, the money thus raised to be used for bettering health conditions. Of this sum it is proposed to use $300,000 for a new contagious disease hospital where children ill with piphtheria or scarlet fever and who cannot be properly taken care of in their homes may be taken and given the best of care. Remember that money expended to conserve and protect the public health always pays big dividends from the dollars and cents standpoint alone; to say nothing of the saving effected in suffering and needless loss of human lives. So vote yes on the bond issue for health purposes and help to protect your neighbors' children. HON. BEAUREGARD F. MOSELEY Endorsed by an Old Time Acquaintance from the Southland, Where He Once Resided. Hon. B. F. Moseley: Dear Sir and Friend:—Reading the report in the Chronicle a few days back that four of the Colored papers of Chicago had endorsed and would support your candidacy for County Commissioner, I made up my mind that at the first opportunity I would write you and let you know how much it pleases me and others of your friends in New Orleans to see that the Colored Press of the Windy City, reflecting the awakening of our people to the importance of standing up for worthy men of the race for leadership and service, had chosen you for election to the office of Commissioner. I congratulate you and heartily commend the wisdom and fore-sight of our leaders and exponents of public opinion in Chicago. It is undoubtedly a well taken step on their part, which if followed up will do much good. If the people of Chicago knew you as well as we of New Orleans and Louisiana know you, they would be sure to elect you, because you are the right kind of man to serve them. You are a man of the people; you came up from among the people and you under- stand thoroughly your people and you have the courage and the tact so necessary in a public servant to enable him to be useful and to serve them with what they need to better their condition. A man of the people as you are, familiar with their wants, hopes, aims, and aspirations as you must be, and loyal to their best interests as your own best interest in being a man of family and of taxable holdings, compels you to be, I am persuaded to feel sure that you are just the man to be the man of the hour for them. I can and do heartily commend the action of the Colored Press of Chicago in uniting and demanding a say in the political affairs and in following up the action by putting forward for election a man who is so sure to be the strong trump card in the hand of our people needed by them with which to win in the game of political life in your great city. Your friend. W. D. C. POLICE OFFICER FRANK H. ARTIST, WILL APPEAR BEFORE THE TRIAL BOARD WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20TH—HE IS CHARGED WITH CIRCULATING EVIL REPORTS IN RELATION TO MRS. GEORGE C. HALL. Wednesday, March 20th Police Officer Frank H. Artist, will have his day before the Police Trial Board, he is charged with circulating many evil reports in relation to Mrs. George C. Hall. It is expected that one large mounted Colored woman, who has been yanked up herself many times, for violating the laws, will testify in his behalf. If Officer Artist is really guilty of being the first to start the evil reports in question, he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, for no police officer nor any one else has any moral right to blacken the good reputation of any honorable and upright man or woman. "COUNT SLATE" FRAMERS ARE DONUCECED BY STATE SENATOR. Samuel Ettelson, Candidate for State's Attorney, Puts in a Strenuous Week of Speechmaking. The framers of the "county slate" were denounced as violators of the letter and the spirit of the primary law by State Senator Samuel Ettelson, candidate for the Republican nomination for state's attorney, in several addresses made this week. Mr. Ettelson Thursday at noon spoke before the real estate board on "Business and Organization." The Twenty-Fifth Ward Ettelson Club will hold a meeting next Tuesday to decide upon a date for a meeting to be held in the ward which will be addressed by Senator Ettelson. WAYMAN CHAPEL NOTES The seven songs of Revelations, a series of sermons are being preached every Sunday night at Wayman Chapel. The subject for next Sunday night will be "The Sixth Song, the Song of a Victory." The congregation has increased largely both at the morning and evening services. The Sunday morning sermon will be from the subject, "Mountain Messages." The officers and members of Wayman Chapel are preparing for a special meeting beginning March 27, and continuing until 8. The third quarterly meeting will take place on Palm Sunday, March 31, at which time the Rev. W. D. Cook will act as Presiding Elder, at the afternoon communion services. Wave service will be a special feature of the morning service March 31, and at the evening service in addition to special selections by the choir consisting of solos and duetts, the pastor will give another one of his well known illustrated sermons. This one will be from the inspiring theme "Jesus Christ the Great Physician." There will be one or two special features to this service, the views will all be of dissolving character and will appear as real as life changing night scenes into day, and making the characters act and apparently speak. In order that the entire evening may be given to this special service announcements will be made on the canvass. An illustrated song will be another special feature of the service. The Holy week services will be held at the church every night with Bible readers and singers for each evening. —"H." 72 The father and author of the measure securing new Armories for the 7th and 8th Regiments, Illinois National Guards, and Republican candidate for State's Attorney of Cook County.

In all parts of this city and Cook County, strong and influential Republicans and other voters, are flocking to him and are greatly aiding him in his present contest. Mr. Williams, 6252 S. Sangamon street, father of Mrs. Bertha Doyle, who was one of the oldest Afro-Americans of Englewood, passed away the latter part of last week. Funeral services were held over his remains Sunday afternoon, at Shiloh Baptist Church, and the services were largely attended. Rev. D. H. Harris officiating. Alderman Dennis J. Egan has for some time maintained headquarters at the Planter's Hotel in his campaign for coroner of Cook County, and each and every day, hosts of admirers and friends crowd around him, and assure him that he looks mighty good to them as the successful contestant for coroner of Cook County. Father Edward A. Kelly, Chaplain of the 7th Regiment Illinois National Guards, and the good pastor of St. Anne's Church, Wentworth avenue and Garfield boulevard, is a firm believer in and supporter of The Broad Ax, and he is thoroughly convinced that if the Colored people permit themselves to be guided by the sound advice that it contains each week, that they will be greatly benefited. Father Kelly, favors Col. Dan Moriarity, for county commissioner and president of the county board. Harry L. Du Charm, candidate for senatorial committeeman, on the progressive Republican ticket in the 11th Senatorial district, is all ready a winner at the primaries Tuesday, April 9th. For he is popular with the young voters in his district and they will assist him to make a home run. Mr. Du Charm, and his friend, Mr. Barron, accompanied B. F. Moseley, Republican candidate for County Commissioner, and Messrs. Neighbors, Abbott, Tnner, and Julius F. Taylor, on the stroll last Saturday evening, and enjoyed luncheon at the Elite Cafe, 3030 State street, and they assert that they had the time of their lives. Pointed Paragraphs.

For its opening three days 5 fair acts. Will open at an early date in a Military production by member of the 8th Regiment. STAGE NOTES The Tallaboo company of fifteen players are still at the Howard Theater, Washington, D. C., playing to crowded houses each evening. Miss Fannie Wise, the noted soprano singer, has been engaged by Mr. S. H. Dudley for the balance of the season as leading lady to the Smart Set Co. Negotiations were conducted through Mr. Dudley and Manager W. H. Smith on behalf of Miss Wise, she will join the comapny next week at Camden, N. J., closing at the Grand Opera House, New York City in June. Miss Wise had to cancel her vaudeville engagements, but will have the distinction of receiving the highest salary ever paid to a lady in the Smart Set Co. Mr. Dudley in signing the contract said he was always willing to pay for the "Goods." Miss Wise sent a hurried order to Lord & Taylors, New York's theatrical costumers for some stunning gowns. Frank Montgomery is to be the producer at the Howard Theater, Washington, D. C., which will open on the 18th with a company of stock players. Laura Bailey's Cubanola Trio are at the Monogram, after finishing there she is booked solid over the Doyle big time. The My Friend From Dixie Company had a successful week at Washington, going from there to Baltimore. Fred A. Faulkner is in no way connected with this company. Lottie Grady is daily rehearsing a new act under the direction of Mr. Jerry Mills. Will Rossetter will put her in vaudeville over the Pantagas time. Much complaint is being heard on all sides of the vaudeville actors, saying that unless you are a personal friend of this or that agent that they will not book you. Many of the acts are going from one theater to the other trying to get work from the house manager. Some of the Colored acts are following this example. Owing to the recent failure of the Colored Realty Co. in New York City, the New Theatrical Co. are finding it quite a severe task to dispose of their stock that they have put on the market. Will the theater be ready in September. Answer: Don't know! Charley Hart, the singing comedian, will go it alone if his single which he is trying out is a success, if not he is considering J. Rosamond Johnson or Sherman Coats to select from as his future partner. Miss Daisy Brown, who was a member of the Pekin Stock Co., is confined in a hospital in New York, to be operated on. Her Chicago friends wish her a speedy recovery. Mr. S. H. Ddley is willing to give the Colored people of Louisville a first-class theater if he can get the proper lease he is after. Mr. Bert A. Williams has been announced to star his own show next season. What will Mr. Zegfeld surround him with, a Black or a White Company? Let's all hope its us. The Frogs of New York, which has Bert Williams as President, will make a tour of the principle cities on the Our Candidate For C Vote X BEAUREGARD He belongs to no faction—is a Clean, honest He belongs to no faction—is a consistent, reliable Republican.

Never in the history of the Colored Thespians will there be such an assembling of prominent stars of both sexes as will make this tour under the direction of Mr. Sam Corker, Jr., well known as late manager of the Pekin Theater. Quite a rivalary sprung up last week at Toledo, O., between the managers of the two vaudeville houses. The manager of the Keith house had Jones and Grant on their bill. On the bill at the Arcade were: The now famous Pumpkin Colored Trio. Consisting of our own Sid Perren and the electric spark, Goldie Crosby and the Beau Brummel of the Profession, Henry Saparo. Both managers commenced doing a Barnum & Bailey stunt by advertising that their respective theaters had the greatest Colored act on earth. The billing matter on Monday was only a half sheet, but by Wednesday there was two sheets all over the town and as both acts are to open in Cleveland next Monday the same thing will be kept up as it is a war between the big time which is Keiths or the other Gus Sun time. No matter who wins out these two Colored acts are getting more advertising than all the other acts on the bill. One thing it has established Perrin, Crosby and Saparo as the king pins of the Gus Sun Time. I received a letter from Honolulu this week asking me how the weather was treating State street. I picked up a post card and with red ink said State street weather is brutal. ACTS WORKING Davis and Walker at Home City. Brown and Navarro, Spokane, Wash Cooper and Robinson, Sioux City.

In appearance gory dew is a dark red, slimy film, which is frequently seen on damp walls and in shady places. It is in reality one of the lowest forms of vegetable life and is closely allied to the plant to which the famous phenomenon of red snow is chiefly due. Its botanical name is Palmella cruenta. At times patches of it may become quite large, and it will develop into a tough, gelatinous mass. Giant Goldfish The Chinese produce goldfish two feet in length. Catching Cold. There is no such thing as catching cold. Dr. Brady, who writes on the subject in the Medical Record, does not deny the existence of colds, but maintains that they come not from cold air and drafts, but from excessive heat, bad ventilation, unhygienic clothing and diet. The reader who is careful of his phrasology will no longer catch cold. To Test Coffee.

INDICATIONS OF EXODUS TO CUBA Promoter Calls Island an Eden For Colored Americans. HOW THE PLAN IS REGARDED. Movement Headed by R. M. R. Nelson to Remove Thousands From the Southern States Said to Have Backing of Wealthy Capitalists—Plenty of Room For Thrifty Planters. Havana, Cuba. — R. M. R. Nelson, whose address is Lista, Havana, came to Cuba in July, 1888, and opened Cuba's only gold mine for a company of white men (Americans), who have robbed him of his share. He has not sat down and whined over his losses. He was in New York in December last on business and was optimistic about Cuba and its future. He urged his friends to flee from the chilling blasts of the north to this Edenland. He said that Flagler's $40,000,000 bridge across the sea was proof of a movement to make Cuba the playground of the world's rich; that land values in Cuba would increase faster than in New York city. Mr. Nelson talked interestingly of this beautiful isle of the sea and expressed the opinion that when American Negroes came to know of the splendid opportunities which here await them they will begin to take a more lively interest in the opportunities which it offers to the farmer, the mechanic and skilled laborers with a little money to invest. After fourteen years of talking, writing and lecturing he said he was not surprised to find that every paper in Cuba is now discussing his plan, backed by millionaires, to bring from the south 10,000 Negro farmers who have money and place them in Cuba. Some of these newspapers are edited by southern white men, left over after the conquest of Spain by the United States, who perhaps naturally do not ```markdown ``` want to see the Negroes of the south enjoy better industrial opportunities than they now have. The Havana Telegraph, edited by a fair minded gentleman, in an editorial column and a half long takes an optimistic view of the proposed plan to place 10,000 Negro farmers from the south, who want to improve their condition politically and financially. It says: "Although we have lived in Cuba for more than a dozen years, we have never seen displayed blacker ingratitude than that shown during the last week by the organs of Cuban public opinion to the American Negro who played so large a part in winning Cuba's freedom. "Did American Negroes of the Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry and those of the Twenty-fourth infantry prove themselves inferior in the fighting about Santiago to the Cuban Negroes making up the army of Calixto Garcia? Was there ever as brave a deed done by Cuban Negroes as that of the American Negroes of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry who volunteered to do guard duty at the yellow fever hospital? And has any one a better right to come to Cuba than have the brothren of those Negroes who fought so well in Cuba's cause?" Any American farmer who desires to migrate to Cuba and who has the means to do so and to support himself while getting established has as much right to change his residence as any American white man and as many American white men are doing constantly. A sugar plantation in Cuba will last ten years without replanting. There is fine pasturage here and every variety of tropical fruits, with many species unknown to Americans. The climatic conditions are ideal. Edenland it is, as Mr. Nelson calls it, and he yearns for more American Negroes of the right stamp and class to locate in Cuba and grow up with the country. The plan is feasible and practical and offers a partial solution of the Negro problem in the United States. Prejudiced Americans who have come to Cuba to make their fortunes naturally do not want to see American Negroes here for obvious reasons. Mr. Nelson will furnish any information desired by colored men in the United States who may be thinking of Cuba as a field for profitable labor. Confidence of Public In Matter Advertised Brings Success. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. In one of its recent issues the Crisis made an announcement which should set a precedent among Afro-American journals. As a rule, these papers do not exercise much discretion in the selection of their advertisers, and this laxity has done much to retard our commercial progress. Some publishers have not learned to say "No" when they have to choose between cash returns and the principle involved in eliminating worthless advertisements. A certain class of advertisements which formerly appeared in nearly all the papers run by white publishers are now found only in certain obscure periodicals and such papers edited by Afro-Americans as will take them. Clairvoyancy, lucky stones and cure-all patent medicines have been exposed as absolutely impossible propositions, and yet once in awhile we see these fakes advertised in some of our papers notwithstanding that they actually destroy the confidence of the reader, which is so necessary to successful and enduring journalism. After giving a definite statement of their advertising policy the management of the Crisis says: "Recently a full page advertisement came to us which was an investment proposition. The idea was a good one, and we hastened to investigate the integrity and business experience of the prospective advertiser. We found that he was honest and had saved a few hundred dollars, but his former activities had been directed along lines that did not give sufficient experience to justify the ludicrous investment of other products' money in an untried proposition. We therefore refused to sell him space." WASHINGTON LAUDS WORK OF RACE ORGANIZATIONS. Masonic Fraternity Hears Optimistic Address by Noted Educator. In a recent address to the Masonic fraternity in Washington Dr. Booker T. Washington showed, among other things, the good which the race has received from secret organizations and emphasized the wisdom of turning such numerical co-operation to greater advantage along business lines in the future. Of this phase of racial activity Dr. Washington in part said: "Secret orders existing among the Negro race have accomplished much toward its uplift notwithstanding the so-called weaknesses of these organizations are referred to in an uncompilatory fashion," said Dr. Washington. "They have an exceptionally strong side. a side that with a little consideration in the part of those who condemn them would receive a proper and sufficient credit. It is largely through the work of the secret organizations of the Negro in connection with his church that the Negro has in a large degree supported and cared for the poor and unfortunate of his own race. "In the southern states there are few Negro beggars, few Negro paupers. The unfortunates are cared for through the secret organization and the church. This in a larger degree is truer of our race than any other race in the same relative stage of civilization in this or any other country. I am glad to take note of the preparations to erect a large and substantial building that will be headquarters for secret organizations and the plans to provide accommodations for business enterprises that are owned and operated by our race. This is most praiseworthy and encouraging. "The erection of this building should command the hearty good will and the generous support of all our people in the District of Columbia. The erection of this building will mean a new era in the business life of the Negro in Washington. In proportion to the number of black people in the District of Columbia and in proportion to the amount of money they handle the race here has not gone into business to the extent that is true of our brethren in the southern states. You have here a Negro population of about 90,000. "There are openings in Washington with your 90,000 black people for 10 architects, 5 banks, 40 drug stores, 50 barber shops, 35 blacksmith shops, 30 boot and shoe stores, 80 shoemakers and repairers, 120 carpenters, contractors and builders, 30 confectionery stores, 40 dentists, 160 dressmaking businesses, 30 dry goods stores, 5 undertaking establishments, 20 florists, 10 furniture dealers, 175 grocery stores, 20 hairdressers, 20 milliners, 60 trained nurses, 70 painters and kalsominers, 10 photographers, 120 physicians, 40 plumbers, 30 real estate dealers, 50 truck gardeners, 50 restaurants and 20 variety stores."
