CHICAGO, MARCH 30, 1912 Col. Theodore Roosevelt Received A Body Blow in New York—His Home State ONLY SEVEN OF ITS NATIONAL DELEGATES FAVOR HIS NOMINATION FOR THE THIRD TERM. EIGHTY-THREE OUT OF ITS NINETY WHEELED IN LINE FOR PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT. THE FORMER ROUGH-RIDING PRESIDENT SPOKE AT THE AUDIORIUM IN CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY EVENING AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE UNABLE TO GAIN ADMITTANCE. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE COLORED REPUBLICAN ROOSEVELT LEAGUE OCCUPIED SEATS ON THE PLATFORM AND WERE WARMLY GRASPED BY THE HAND BY THE COL. JULIUS F. TAYLOR MADE A RUSHING BUSINESS TRIP TO SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS AND SPENT ONE DAY IN RUBBING UP AGAINST MANY DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS. WHILE IN THE CAPITOL CITY HE CALLED ON GOV. CHARLES S. DENEEN AND WAS CORDIALLY AND PLEASANTLY RESEIVED BY HIM. FROM THE LATEST RELIABLE REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE THE GOVERNOR FEELS POSITIVE THAT THE POLITICAL TIDE IS STRONGLY RUNNING IN HIS DIRECTION AND THAT HE WILL SNATCH THE MUCH COVETED GUBERNATORIAL PRIZE AWAY FROM HIS COMPETITORS AND RECEIVE THE NOMINATION AT THE PRIMARIES, TUESDAY, APRIL 9. The first of this week the Republicans of New York State, held primaries throughout that state, for the sole purpose of selecting Taft and Roosevelt delegates to the National Republican convention to be held in Chicago, June 18, and only seven of its delegates chosen at its primaries favor Col. Roosevelt for the third term, and the result is that he received a severe body blow in New York—his home state, right in the house of his friends. On the other hand President William H. Taft, invaded his state, and received eighty-three out of its ninety delegates, who will vote for him first, last and all the time, at the Chicago convention, and with further solid delegations from Colorado, Missouri, Indiana and other states at his back, the president and his friends and supporters already feel reasonably sure that they have Col. Roosevelt and his followers on the dead or unlucky run. The former Rough Riding President, while on his western speaking tour, spoke in this city at three or four great meetings on Wednesday, in the evening of that same date, he spoke at the Auidtorium and thousands of people were unable to gain admittance to hear him, showing that he is still occupying a warm spot in the hearts of his fellow citizens and that many millions of them are willing to follow him, as it were, to the ends of the earth, for they greatly admire his hold or dashing manner THE U. S. SENATE INVESTIGATING COMMITEE GIVES THE HON. WLLIAM LORIMER AND EDWARD HINES A CLEAN BILL OF SALE. After a long and bitter fight, five of the eight members of the United States Senate, investigating into the election of the Hon. Lorimer, to the United States Senate voted on Thursday in favor of giving him and his friend Edward Hines a clean bill of sale. In other words the committee decided that no new evidence had been advanced to prove that he had bought his way into the Senate by expending One Hundred Thousand Dollars or any other sum of money. Res Adjudicata is up held and that the second inquiry was not legal. When the whole proposition comes up before the Senate this coming week a majority of the Senators will vote in favor of permitting him to retain his seat in that body. Cary B. Lewis, returned home Friday morning from a two month's tour through the South. in saying and in doing things, in this respect he is the modern, uncontrollable American citizen. George P. Smith, William D. Neighbors, Jackson Gordon, John McReynolds, and several other officers and members of the Colored Republican Roosevelt League, occupied seats on the platform at the Auditorium, meeting and they were warmly grasped by the hand and heartily welcomed into the fold or into the tent by Col. Roosevelt. On Tuesday evening, the writer left the city at 11:46 on the Diamond special, over the Illinois Central, for Springfield, Illinois, on a rushing business trip and for one day we had the pleasure of rubbing up against many Democratic and Republican statesmen and politicians. On Wednesday afternoon, we had the pleasure of calling on Governor Charles S. Deneen, and we were cordially and pleasently received by him. During our conversation with him, he informed us, that he had just come into possession of the latest and most reliable reports from all parts of the state, and that after carefully purusing them and cooly surveying the entire political situation in the state, that he felt more than confident that the political tide is strongly running in his direction and that he will snatch, the much coveted gubernatorial prize away from his competitors and receive the nomination at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9. JAMES S. McCULLOUGH, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS OF ILLINOIS. Hon. James S. McCullough, of Urbana, Ill., Republican candidate for auditor, of public accounts of this state, is well and favorably known throughout its length and breadth. He has already been tried and not found wanting, and his official record is far above reproach in the slightest degree. He is an honored veteran of the civil war, and the majority of the loyal and patriotic voters throughout this state, regardless of their politics should on Tuesday, April 9 primary election day, record their votes in favor of his re-nomination and re-election, as auditor of public accounts of Illinois. While in Springfield, Ill., this week, the writer was the guest of Mr. Jesse Hawkins, assistant doorkeeper of the House of Representatives, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry King, 1124 Pasfield street, and greatly enjoyed a nice dinner which was dished up in style by Mrs. King.

ARTIS BEFORE THE TRIAL BOARD. Editor S. B. Turner, Who Is a Prom- inent Politician, Called on Mayor Harrison Before the Trial to In- terced in His Behalf. It was really amusing to note the side-stepping indulged in by some of the witnesses who appeared at the trial of Officer F. A. Artis' case before the Civil Service Commission last Wednesday. One or two of the witnesses on each side, backed back and gulped down a large amount of black crow. As stated before, Officer Artis, under oath, emphatically declared, that at no time nor place had he ever circulated evil reports which reflected on the ladylike conduct of Mrs. So and So. Right at that point, Attorney J. Gray Lucas was willing to prove by Miss Gertrude Day, who was present, that either in the latter part of December, 1911, or in the first part of January, 1912, that she attended a meeting of one of the women's clubs and was a member of it as well as Mrs. F. A. Artis. That Mrs. Artis exclaimed in the presence of many of the ladies present at the meeting, that it must be true that Mrs. So and So was arrested for taking something from one of the down town department stores, which did not belong to her. That her husband, who has been a police officer for four on five years saw the husband of the lady in question, at the Clark street police station a few mornings prior to that time and his only object in visiting it was to secure the release or the freedom of his wife. For some cause or other, the members of the commission would not permit Miss Day to mount the witness stand and tell her side on the highly interesting story. Col. S. B. Turner, who is prominent in Republican politics, freely admits that he called on Mayor Carter H. Harrison for the purpose of having his honor to use his influence with the Civil Service Commission in behalf of Officer Artis, and it looks as though the strong influence of Col. Turner saved the day for him. [Name] MELVILLE G. HOLDING Mr. Melville G.

Col. Aug. W. Miller. Col. August W. Miller, who has honestly and faithfully served as one of the members of the Board of Assessors, for the past sixteen years and who has been highly endorsed by the Efficiency Commission and other associations for the able manner in which he has conducted the affairs of his office in the past, was born in this city June 18, 1861. His parents were Captain and Mrs. George N. Miller and they were among the best and most highly respected German-American citizens of Chicago. His primary education was obtained in the common and high schools and also St. Ignatius College of this city. Soon after leaving school he entered the wholesale millinery firm of Ascher, Barnard & Co., with whom he remained 21 years, rising to the position of general manager of the concern. Leaving this firm in January, 1898, he established the wholesale millinery firm of Miller & Probst, and afterwards became interested in the Phoenix Foundry Company, with which he is at the present time associated.

Col. Miller is a prominent 32nd degree Mason, Royal Arcanum, Royal League and Knight of Pythias. He was married in this city in 1884 and resides with his happy and interesting family in a fine home of their own at 3135 Carlyle place. Col. Miller has always been a strong Republican and one of the Big German-American leaders of his party on the West and North Sides. Lastly he has also been friendly to the Afro-Americans and when any worthy Colored man or woman has occasion to visit his office on official business he possesses enough of common sense to treat them with the amount of decency that they deserve, and that is one of the many reasons why many thousands of Afro-American voters will help to put him over at the primaries Tuesday.

JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS BEFORE THE PRESS CLUB. The following letter explains itself as to the exact utterances of Col. James Hamilton Lewis while addressing the Press Club last Saturday evening: Chicago, March 25, 1912. Julius F. Taylor, Editor The Broad Ax. 5027 Armour Avenue. Dear Editor Taylor, will you please publish in your paper this note of mine to you? Yesterday morning some of the Chicago papers published extracts of my speech before the Press Club Saturday night, in their reception to the Press Club of Milwaukee, and quoted a bit of humor from me touching an old Colored man, and intimated that I was referring to "the difficulties of the Colored people in connection with voting," etc. You can understand that a paper trying to report a man speaking rapidly, and then telephoning the matter in, and then the editor boiling it down, might produce it in a way that would carry suggestions which were never in the mind of any writer, and would never have been allowed by such friends as I have on all the papers. I called attention of the Wisconsin club that in their State the issue was whether a Republican Senator could buy his seat from Republican legislators for $217,000. In this State, if a Republican Senator could buy his seat from Democratic legislators for $100,000, and I said that after all, it appeared that the only issue in politics in these days between the parties, was that which an old Colored friend had related to me concerning a Republican voter in our last city election. And then I told about his getting $11.00 from the Republican committee; $7.00 from the Democrats, and then voting with the Democrats, and giving as his reason that the Democrats were less corrupt. And used that to illustrate that it seemed to me that after all, in certain localities, the only difference in our parties just now was the question of price—in too many instances. As the Colored people have always been my friends, I could not let the intimation that I had made some unnecessary slur, remain, when I know such was not intended by the paper which published it, and would not be regarded as coming from me except through misinterpretation of readers. The matter was called to my attention, and I am calling the matter to your attention that my friends among the Colored people—should they see it—will naturally understand the matter. With personal regards, Yours very truly, James Hamilton Lewis. Thursday evening, a Republican mass meeting was held at Berean Baptist church, 4838 and Dearborn st. The meeting was well attended. Burt W. Kelly, Republican candidate for Alderman of the 30th Ward was among the speakers and freely predicted during his speech, that "he was just about the right size to make a good Alderman, for all the people in the 30th Ward and that he felt dead sure, that he would be elected Tuesday April 2nd, in spite of all the opposition of his opponents. HON. EDWARD D. GREEN, SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED TO THE LEGISLATURE OF ILLINOIS FROM THE 1ST SENATORIAL DISTRICT. There are some evil minded white and Colored men residing in the 1st Senatorial District, who are endeavoring to induce the honest Colored voters in that district to vote for sherly High and against Mr. Green, at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9, so that two white men, Republicans and one white Democrat will be elected to the Legislature and no Colored man. The Colored voters in the 1st and 2nd wards will have no one to blame but themselves if they join in this scheme to assist to defeat Mr. Green for the nomination at the primaries, if they do so it will be the first time in many years in this state that the Colored people have madly assisted to deprive themselves of representation in the Legislature. Therefore the Colored voters in the wards referred to are earnestly admonished to think twice before they vote once on Tuesday, April 9. Let them remember that a man like Ed. Green is needed at Springfield at this time to block the game of the Hyde Park Protective Association from having enacted a special law, establishing separate schools for white and Colored children in this city and throughout the State of Illinois 72 The father and author of the measure securing new Armories for the 7th and 8th Regiments, Illinois Nation al Guards, and Republican candidates for State's Attorney of Cook County. With the close of the county campaign but two weeks away, Republican leaders of all factions have practically conceded the nomination of State Senator Samuel A. Ettelson for State's Attorney. Efforts by the Committee of 100 to elect its slate of candidates has been centered within the last few days on its candidate for that office, but after the canvass returns were compiled at the headquarters the silent word was sent out that Ettelson would be the nominee and that all energy must be directed to keep the slate from being "broken" in other sections. "Senator Ettelson will win by 15,000," said Mr. Weinfeld. "We have received our reports from our war and precinct workers, and after going over the situation very carefully I make this estimate, although our figures show even larger than that Senator Ettelson's campaign has been made as a candidate of the people and we are confident that the Republican voters have decided that Mr. Ettelson is the man they want to place in the State's Attorney's office where they demand a 'square deal' and fair treatment." Senator Ettelson's record in the Senator Ettelson has made one of the most energetic campaigns that Chicago and Cook county has seen, having made over 300 speeches so far in the campaign, and having traveled more than 800 miles to do so. His itinerary has taken him into practically every ward in the city and Ettelson precinct clubs have been organized in every ward. Mr. Ettelson has been making his race as a candidate of the people unsupported by any political faction, and his predicted victory is all the more remarkable as the other candidates have all been in the field supported by regular political organizations and having the backing of so-called "slate makers." After a canvass of the wards made by Ettelson ward workers, Mr. Charles Weinfeld, campaign manager for Senator Ettelson, issued statement predicting Mr. Ettelson's victory by 15,000, and the statement was unchallenged by the opposition campaign managers who privately have been admitting Mr. Ettelson's coming victory.

Senator Ettelson's record in the Senate where he has introduced or supported every measure of importance to Chicagoans, has been making hundreds of votes for him. His endorsement by the Legislative Voters' League, given after one term at Springfield, was in unmeasured terms and declared him to be "efficient and aggressive on behalf of good measures." His support of the cheap school book bill has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for the poor people of the city who are endeavoring to educate their children; the anti-white slave law was passed mainly through his efforts. Senator Ettelson directed the Senate fight for the direct primary bill which is now a law, and he has ready a preferential primary bill to be introduced in case Governor Deneen calls a special session of the Legislature to give the people a chance to vote for their choice for presidential nominees. The Woman's Ten Hour Law was also a measure that Senator Ettelson is given credit for by its supporters. [Name] ation at the primaries, Tuesday, April of Illinois from the 1st Senatorial DB. WASHINGTON'S HENHOUSE STORIES. Among the numerous criticisms which educated Colored men and women—like Dr. Dubois, for example—make of Dr. Booker T. Washington is this, that in his speeches he constantly and subtly confirms the white man's complacent sense of superiority to the Colored man. While endeavoring with one hand to lift the Negro of the South through industrial education, with the other—so these critics assert—he presses his people down into the position of social inferiority in which the more aggressively raceconscious of the white people desire them to be. These critics of Dr. Washington cite, as illustrations of his subtle maneuvering in this matter, his constant use, before white audiences, of anecdotes involving the Colored man and the chicken coop. It was interesting to see illustrations of this crop up in Dr. Washington's visit last week. For example, he spoke before the City Club upon the progress of the Negro race, largely as illustrated in the growth of Tuskegee Institute. In the course of his address he touched on the early struggles of Tuskegee when old, ramshackle buildings had to be used for classrooms: I said we began in a little shanty. After teaching in that shanty for a number of months, the student body began to multiply so fast that I was compiled to call into use an old-fashioned henhouse, which I found on the plantation. I remember that one afternoon I spoke to an old Colored man who lived near by, telling him that I wanted him to come the next morning at 9 o'clock and assist me in cleaning that henhouse out and whitewashing it for school purposes. With some excitement in his voice and manner, he turned to me and said: "Now, boss, I'll come and help you clean out that henhouse tomorrow morning, but I're afraid you is gwine to get in trouble, 'case you don't understand the customs down here. You never should clean out a henhouse down here in the daytime." At another meeting in Chicago he told another anecdote which ran, as nearly as we can repeat it, something like this: I feel, in addressing you tonight, etc., something like the Colored man whose wife went away on a visit and left him alone in charge of the place. Somebody asked him how he got along in her absence and he said: "Well, Ah got along gretty well. Ah only made one mistake. Ah forgot, one night, to lock the henhouse door and all the hens got out in the night and went home!" Both anecdotes provoked hearty laughter from the white audiences which heard them They served the immemorial ends of the anecdote. They put the audience into good humor, into the frame of mind in which, reasonably or not, each man said to himself with a chuckle: "Say, he's all right! I'll listen to him!" But to the educated Colored man, sensitive about his standing in the community, painfully conscious of the thousand points at which social ostracism wounds him and his family, Dr. Washington's little jokes have lost their salt. He traces—whether fancifully or not, who shall say—something of the complacency superiority of the white people to this old assumption of the weakness of the Colored man for the contents of the henhouse. And it is like rubbing salt in old wounds to see the powerful and protected Dr. Washington mounting to favor—so to speak—with the free and jaunty use of something which has become, to him, almost a symbol of the plight in which he finds his people. Does this seem hypersensitive? Probably to many of our readers it will seem decidedly so. They will argue that when Dr. Washington has achieved the ends which he seeks, when he and the men in his movement have lifted the Colored men and women of the South to a position of industrial independence, then the old "henhouse joke" will die of inanition. And in the meantime, they will say, what's the use of getting excited about a mere joke, the by-play and surplusage of a speaker who is admittedly in earnest? That is perhaps, the typical American attitude toward a piece of hun.nor. But for many the question will persist. Many will feel that Dr. Washington has been needlessly careless of the feelings of the educated element in his own race and that perhaps his free indulgence in a type of anecdote which has become an offense to many is merely an illustration of his attitude. We shan't pretend to decide between the two points of view, but we can imagine that the day will come when Dr. Washington, abating not a lot of his demand that the emphasis shall be placed upon industrial advance, will learn, newortheness to be less concessive to the old stupidities which go to make up so much of the race prejudice under which his people suffer.—The Chicago Evening Post, March 22, 1912. The Evening Post, is entitled to the highest commendation for being fair enough to conced, that there are two classes of Afro-Americans in this country—the educated and the uneducated class, never have and never will relish the chicken stealing stories of Booker T. Washington, who always likes to dwell upon them in order to pull the money out of the pockets of the white millionaire, for himself, who have with few honorable exceptions, acquired their wealth, by robbing and plundering the poor.—Editor. THE RECALL AND THE MANY EVILS IT WOULD FASTEN UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Residing in the Various Sections of the United States. By Attorney Walter M. Farmer. The wave of political and social unrest that is sweeping over the country today is but in harmony with the almost universal feeling that has lately manifested itself in Portugal, China and other sections of the civilized world. There is a general feeling that our country is sadly in need of political renovation. This feeling it is true, has found expression mainly through the utterances of ambitious politicians, nevertheless, they have served to arouse the masses to a realization that there is something wrong somewhere. With the approach of our national election, we may rest assured that ambitious candidates will generously call our attention to wrongs too long endured and to dangers to be avoided. But however, illuminating the arguments may be, as to the general effect of the policies and principles of parties and candidates, the Colored voters must per force of peculiar conditions, view them through a medium as they especially affect his race. Our political perspective has been thus limited by a combination of circumstances that we would gladly have changed; but as long as the race is regarded, in so many instances, as outside of the law, our vision of great political and social questions must of necessity be restricted and our citizenship at a discount. We must therefore, guard with unabating and discriminating vigilance our rights as citizens and our interest as a race. Col. Theodore Roosevelt has come to the rescue of "the plain people" and suggests that the source of most of the political unrest is from not allowing the "plain people" a larger participation in making of the laws of the country and in their interpretation. The Colonel is always dramatic, if not original and sees in the adoption of the initiative, referendum and the recall, a panacea for all our politicalills. The first two of these doctrines are revolutionary and the recall is anarchy. The permitting the masses to initiate the laws or to have those passed by the law making body, submitted to the people for their approval or rejection is not only dangerous, but contrary to the form and spirit of our institutious. The recall of judicial decisions or of the judges rendering them, would completely destroy every guaranty the people have of security in their rights of person and property. It would render so uncertain judicial decisions that we would be in practical chaos as to what our rights and interests are. Let us take for an illustration the disfranchisement laws of the State of Oklahoma. Not many months ago a judge of one of the Federal Courts declared the law unconstitutional. Suppose the "plain people" of that State were permitted to vote to recall that decision. Does any one doubt that it would be recalled by a large majority? And what is true, in this case, is true of every law passed or that may be passed restricting the Colored man in the exercise of his rights as a citizen. Prejudice, race hatred and passion play too prominent a part in the average Southern white man's sentiments for us to risk our civil and political salvation in his hands. Under the system of recall advocated by Col. Roosevelt every constitutional guaranty would be swept away, courts would be rendered impotent and uncertainty and anarchy would reign. As a race our hope lay in the stability of judicial decisions and in the integrity of our judges. Like Shylock, we "craze the law." Take that from us, and you take from us the prop that doth sustain our house." That is just what the recall means. One more illustration, suppose in some community in this State (Illinois) a judge should, in a case presented, sustain our civil right's law. It might be that the people of that community are hostile to that law. They could recall that decision so far as that community is concerned or they might recall the judge and elect some one in his stead who would do their bidding. If Col. Roosevelt has nothing better to offer us as a balm for our many political and social wounds than the recall, we "had better bear the ills we have, than to fly to others we know not of." THE NAME OF SENATOR SAMUEL A. ETTELSON APPEARS SECOND ON THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT UNDER THE HEADING The Press Bureau met last Saturday night at Letts' Cafe and transacted and passed upon several matters of importance. Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, Editor of the Fellowship Herald spoke upon her entrance as a member and the possibilities of the future, for the Bureau. Mr. S. B. Turner, Editor of the Idea asked for further time to report on the Excursion proposition. Julius F. Taylor, President of the Bureau put the question of votes for Women before the Bureau and after a heated discussion it was unanimously decided to favor and advocate the proposition. Mrs. Barnett announced that the Negro Fellowship League would give its Second Anniversary dinner, complimentary to the officers and delegates to the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, May 1st. Hon. Lawrence B. Stringer, candidate for Congressman, at large on the Democratic ticket was discussed as being the first democrat in the State of Illinois to oppose the unseating of a man as a member of the State Legislature on account of his color: That man was J.

The Ridgewood apartment building at 2728 Wabash avenue, has changed its name, class and color of its tenants, as well as its rental prices. The old Ridgewood will be known hereafter as the New American. The name is suggestive not only of the change of color and class of tenants, but it marks a condition heretofore unknown in our American cities. In the first place the New American is the largest modern. fire proof building, with elevator service, and all other conveniences which makes a home, in such an apartment not only a pleasure but a luxury, ever rented to Colored people in America; therefore, the name "New American." But of far greater importance to the Colored people, of Chicago, is the rental prices. Until a few weeks ago the "New American" was known as the Ridgewood and rented to white tenants at from $5.00 to $15.00 per flat more than Colored people will hereafter be required to pay. When Wm. D Neighbors & Co. took charge of the building its owners, the American Bank, turned over to Mr. Neighbors their list of rentals, which they had been getting from white tenants, and suggested that Colored tenants should at least pay as much, since in similar instances they had paid more than white tenants, but Mr. Neighbors was soon convinced that the prices, while not too high for the conveniences and comforts afforded, was too high for the better class of Colored people to afford. And being determined to have only the best class of tenants obtainable, he persuaded the owner to reduce the rents. And now a three room, steam heated, apartment, with hardwood floors, closet in each room, tile bath and porcelain bath and stationary washstand, with gas range, can be had for $20.00 per month; four rooms at $25.00; six rooms at $30.00; seven rooms at $35.00, and eight rooms at $45.00, which is from $5.00 to $15.00 less than white tenants paid. Surely the name "The New American" is justifiable. It is the intention of the management of the "New American" to make it the most complete in point of comfort, convenience and moral tone of any in the city, white or Colored. In order to do this they realize the necesity of toning up the moral condition of the neighborhood, and with the assistance of the churches, civic organizations and the Chicago police department they are determined that this shall be done. Attorney Frank D. Comerford, one of the well known lawyers of this city, is one of the Democratic candidates for the nomination for Lieutenant-Governor, at the primaries Tuesday, April 9th, and as Mr. Comerford is widely known throughout the State and bitterly opposed to all kinds of grafting, he has an exceptionally fine chance of capturing the prize he is seeking.

PUTNEY, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT. Albert H. Putney Democratic candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court (six-year - term) is one of the well known and able lawyers of Chicago, for some time he has been at the head of the law firm of Putney, Linden & Gunnell, Suite 518, Ashland block, prior to coming to this city in 1898, and being admitted to its bar in 1899, he successfully practiced law in Boston, Mass. He is a native of the Old Bay State, having been born in Boston, September 28, 1872, and receiving his education in the common schools in the city of his birth and at Newton, graduating from Yale University with a degree of B. A. in 1893, with special honors in history and political economy. Later on taking the LL. B. degree at the Boston University. Coming to Chicago at the time stated above, and in a very short time he made many fast friends, achieving much prominence in a few years' time, so much so, that in 1900, he became a professor at the Illinois College of Law and has ably served as Dean of that splendid law school from 1904, down to the present time. He is a deep and logical writer on many branches of the law; he is the author of "Government in the U. S." this being published by the government to be used as a text book in the Philippine schools; "United States Constitutional History and Law," "Law Library," (12 volumes); "Banking, Currency and Exchange," "Bar Examination Review," etc During the past year he has been engaged, in collaboration with Col. James Hamilton Lewis, in preparation of a work on the construction and constitutionality of statutes, which is soon to be published. He is a member of the Press Club, County Democratic Club, South Shore Country Club, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. He is happily married and resides in the Second Ward, at 3004 Prairie avenue, at all times he is fair or liberal minded, and he would make an ideal Judge of the Municipal Court; he has many warm friends among the best class of Afro-Americans who will march to the polls on Tuesday, April 9, and cheerfully record their votes in favor of his elevation to the municipal bench. VALUE OF HOSPITALS. There was a time—and not so very long ago—when public sentiment in Chicago was not all friendly towards hospitals. Within the past few years, however, there has been a radical change in the attitude of the people towards these institutions. This change of attitude is due to the fact that people have learned that the sick in most diseases are given better care and attention in the hospitals than they can possibly get in their homes. It is becoming better understood that the trained nurse, working under the doctor's direction, will give the patient better care than can the untrained relative in the home. In other words, love and affection are not the essential qualifications for the proper care of the sick. So, for many reasons, the hospitals are being more and more recognized as beneficient institutions and as rendering a service to society that is not performed by any other agency. In the contagious diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and smallpox, hospitals for the care of such cases render a double service to humanity. First, the patients are given better care than they would get in their homes; at least this would be true in by far the majority of cases. Second, in cases of this kind hospitals play an important part in preventing the spread of contagion. As a rule, one case of diphtheria or scarlet fever in the home means more, because of the almost unpreventable contact of well members of the family with the one that is sick. In the hospital such spread of contagion is very rare, in fact, almost unknown. In London, in one year, there were 17,554 cases of scarlet fever and of these 16,000 or over 90 per cent were treated in contagious disease hospitals. Chicago needs more and better hospital facilities for the care of the contagious-sick. And because of this great need, the voters of Chicago will be asked to vote for or against a bond issue of $380,000 on the 2nd of April next. Of this issue it is proposed to use $300,000 for building a new contagious disease hospital, and the balance for other health work. It is a measure that should receive the support of all right-thinking citizens. MATT HENSON, AUTHOR They who have thought of Matt Henson only as Peary's body servant are wondering how Henson could get either the "book learning" or the broad judicial view necessary to produce such a book as "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole," published by Stokes this month. Booker T. Washington explains how, in his introduction to the book: "During the twenty-three years in which he was the companion of the explorer, Henson not only had time and opportunity to perfect himself in his knowledge of books, but he acquired a broad practical knowledge of polar exploration. He* was at times a blacksmith, a carpenter and a cook. He was thoroughly acquainted with life, customs and language of the Eskimos. He himself built the sledges with which the journey to the pole was successfully completed. He could not merely drive a dog team or skin a musk ox with the skill of a native, but he was something of a navigator as well." Meanwhile, Henson was reading. He himself describes his library, the Bible, Dickens and Peary's arctic books. These, he says, he spent countless hours in reading, in the long arctic night. So it has happened that the Negro who started adventure as a cabin boy has become a Stokes author.—The Chicago Evening Post, March 22, 1912. FIVE MILLION INCHES OF PUBLICITY. Anti-tuberculosis Movement Greatly Assisted by Newspapers and Magazines. Publicity in newspapers and magazines to the amount of 1,500,000 inches a year on tuberculosis and its prevention is being given by the press of the United States, according to an estimate issued today by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. If all the publicity on tuberculosis given by the press of this country in the year ending April 1st were gathered in one paper the National Association estimates it would make a paper of over 6,250 pages. In the last four years, during which time an active publicity campaign has been carried on, the National Association estimates that over 5,000,000 inches or over 90 miles of press notices on tuberculosis have been published. "Publicity is the very heart of the educational campaign against tuberculosis," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, the Executive Secretary of the National Association. "Largely because of the intelligent co-operation of the press, has the anti-tuberculosis movement in this country been able to become, as it is, the greatest organized movement of its kind in the world. When tuberculosis shall have become a rare disease, the American press may justly claim a large share in this gigantic achievement." WALTERS A.M.E. ZION CHURCH 38th and Dearborn Sts. H. J. Callis, D. D. Pastor There seems to be a lack of interest on the part of the members of the church in our annual fair, which closed on Friday the 27th. We need very much to raise $1200 by Easter which is our rally day. We are expecting to have the finest Easter service ever held in this church on Easter Sunday at 3:00 p. m. Rev. H. J. Callis our pastor will preach the sermon, the choir under direction of Miss Daisy Waire will render special Easter music. Our monthly class roll call which should have taken place on last Friday will be held on the First Friday in April. The services for Sunday will be as usual, at 3:00 p. m. the Buds of Promise will render a special programme, to which the public is invited. Mrs. H. J. Callis who has been under the doctors care for the last three weeks is still confined to her bed but is improving.—"C." CHIPS Mrs. Monroe L. Manning 3524 Calumet avenue, is improving after being on the sick list for the past five weeks. Alderman Frank McDermott, has a hot fight on his hands in the 29th ward. But the indications are, that when the smoke of the battle clears away, on Tuesday, April 2nd, that he will be returned to the city council. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hart, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Hayman, and the other members of their family have removed from 3236 Wabash avenue to 67 E. 36th street, between Wabash and Michigan avenues. Edmund H. Roche, city purchasing agent under Mayor Edward F. Dunne, is one of the Democratic candidates for the nomination for trustee of the Drainage.
