The Broad Ax

THE WASHINGTON D. C. SPECIAL EDITION OF THE BROAD AX BROAD AX A. H. President of the United States; true blue Virginian who has promised to deal fairly with all classes and nationalities of his follow countrymen. Mary E. The first lady in the United States who is eminently qualified to entertain the leading social lights of the world. Vol. XVIII. HON. WOOD President of the United States; true fairly with all classes and nation JOSEPH PATRICK TUMULTY. From the 4th of March the Secretary to the President, a more important of fice than almost any seat in the President's cabinet, is to be filled by Joseph Patrick Tumulty, of whom "The Out look" says: He will be the youngest Secretary any President ever had. He is in his thirty-third year. He is a lawyer by profession and a Roman Catholic in religion. Bryan's "Commoner" supplements this information about Mr. Tumulty with the following: He was Governor Wilson's secretary from the time the latter assumed the office of Governor until last November, when he resigned to become clerk of the State Supreme Court. Since election he has been the Governor's secretary without compensation. Governor Wilson found Tumulty in the legislature, where he had served four terms when Wilson was elected. Since then Tumulty has been Wilson's most intimate counselor. He was reared in a tenement district ward in Jersey City, his father being an iron moulder in poor circumstances. Brought up in an atmosphere of hard, practical politics. ```markdown ``` HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY he developed a progressive democracy that was at its height when Wilson became Governor. This attracted the ex-college president to him. Tumulty was educated in parochial schools and St. Peter's college, Jersey City, and studied law in a law office. Ten years ago he was admitted to the bar. He is married and is the father of four girls and two boys. On the authority of Frank Parker Stockbridge, it may be further stated that Mr. Tumulty's first term in the New Jersey legislature was spent inconspicuously but studiously; and that in his second term he fell into the habit of using his education of the term before by explaining to the House, modestly but significantly, the precise character and location of concealed graft in bills as they came up. This disturbing habit of his had already "got on the nerves" of big grafters when Governor Wilson came into office and availed himself of the young legislator's abilities and fidelity. Mr. Tumulty is already very popular with the newspaper men throughout the country, and he will be the right man in the right place at Washington, D. C.-Editor.

August 31st, 1895, The Broad AX first made its appearance in Salt Lake City, Utah, and on Tuesday, September the 3rd, the Democratic Convention of that Territory which was not admitted into the Union as a state until Jan. 1, 1896, was held at Ogden, Utah, and Col. William Jennings Bryan, had been invited to address that convention, he made a trip of one thousand miles from Lincoln, Nebraska, in order to address the convention on the then burning question the "silver question." When he entered the hall at about two o'clock in the afternoon, a mighty shout ascended upwards from the throats of those who sat under the sound of his kind and sympathetic voice; the writer sat less than ten feet away from him all the time he was engaged in pleading the cause of the common people and his burning words sank down deep into our warm and liberty-loving heart and from that day to this we have been one of his most devoted followers. That same fall the Democrats were defeated right and left at the congressional election and after the Republican landslide that year it looked at though the Democratic party never would be able to get itself together in time to face about and meet the Republican hosts in a hand to hand fight or battle royal on the eve of the presidential election in 1896. The leaders of the Democratic party had almost gave up all hope of successfully combating the enemy—the Republican party; so this was the state of affairs at that time until November 23, 1895, an editorial appeared in the columns of The Broad Ax, entitled the "Star of Hope for the Democratic Party;" and in the editorial Col. William Jennings Bryan, was mentioned for President of the United States; many of the papers published in the far West caught onto it and they declared that Col. Bryan, looked good to them; and from that time until the Chicago convention in 1896; we published the following once each week at the head of the first outside column left side front page: "Our Ticket for 1896, for President William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for vice-president, John T. Morgan of Alabama, and our platform Free Silver, more money and America for Americans," one of the first copies of The Broad Ax, in which his name was mentioned was sent to him; he was at that time the political editor of the Omaha World-Herald, and he made an editorial mention in its columns on the bright appearance of The Broad Ax; sending it to us with his compliments; at the same time thanking us for the deep interest that we had been taking in his future political welfare. Shortly after the first part of July, 1896, at the Chicago convention after his memorable "Cross of Gold Speech" Col. Bryan was nominated for President of the United States on the 5th ballot. No one was more highly delighted over his nomination than ourselves, we sent him a telegram heartily congratulating him and from that time on to the close of the presidential election in 1896, thousands of copies of The Broad Ax were sent broadcast throughout the country free of cost to any county, state or national committee, urging the Afro-Americans to vote for Col. Bryan for President of the United States. Then immediately after his defeat after making one of the most brilliant and memorable compaigns in the history of American politics, we promptly placed him in nomination for 1900. On New Year's morning, 1897, the mailman handed us a letter from Col. Bryan, in which he again thanked us for the loyal support which we had rendered him and that letter along with the others which we received from him from time to time we still have in our possession. The middle of July 1897, Col. Bryan visited Utah and Salt Lake City for the second time accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, and at a reception tendered to her by the best ladies of that city and when Mrs. Taylor, was presented to her as the wife of the editor of The Broad Ax. Mrs. Bryan, warmly grasped her by both hands and in the most gracious manner exclaimed "I am extremely delighted to meet you and I want to thank you for the noble support your husband has rendered my husband through the columns of The Broad Ax." On June 15, 1899, we removed from Salt Lake City, Utah, back to this great city, where we had lived for seven years prior to 1895, and on July 15th, 1899, The Broad Ax, made its first appearance in it and it has appeared regularly once each week from that time to this. Through the kindness and the generosity of our warm friend the late and the lamented James J. Gray, we were able to attend the Kansas City convention of 1900, in the style befitting an editor, as one of the special guests of the Cook County Democracy. On arriving in the convention city we were honored with a season ticket, which we still hold, entitling us to a seat on the platform, and we witnessed the great demonstration made over his second nomination for the Presidency which lasted almost two hours, and we were numbered among the three hundred Afro-Americans who joined in the O.

Parker, carried away the Presidential prize at the St. Louis convention and without the least hesitation and without receiving one dollar from the Democratic national committee in either of the two Bryan campaigns or from Col. Bryan, himself, The Broad Ax, promptly wheeled into line for him and shortly before the campaign of 1904, drew to a close he sent us a "Personal" letter over his own signature thanking us for our loyal support to him and after valiantly fighting on the side of the masses and against the plutocratic classes we went down to defeat with him and we want it distinctly understood that not one dollar blew our way from the Demo- No.22 R.

In the early part of 1908, we began to boom Col. Bryan, for the fourth time for the Presidency and made the trip to the Denver convention and for the second time we were an eye witness to his nomination and on our way home from the Denver convention we stopped at Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of paying our most profound respects to Col. and Mrs. Bryan and presented her, with a copy of the Denver edition of The Broad Ax, containing her picture. One thing that we prize most highly, is a large photograph, taken of the front view of Fairview, the elegant home of Col. and Mrs. Bryan, and in it the writer was snapped, standing close by the side of the Hon.

Later on in life he became an extensive manufacturer and jobber in fine cigars. He made his first whirl in politics by becoming superintendent of the City Gas Inspection Bureau in 1904, being --- [Name] Ex-chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Cook County; ex-deputy and commissioner of Public Works of Chicago.

Dunne, and be it said to his everlasting credit that he ably conducted all of the affairs pertaining to the office with great ability and in a business-like manner. He was chosen chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic party of Cook County in 1906, being extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens and having legions of warm friends and supporters. He was elected treasurer of Cook County in 1910, and so far he has made a tip top county official. Mr. O'Connell did not succeed in securing the nomination for Mayor of Chicago, for Judge Edward F. Dunne at the primaries in 1911, but as his personal campaign manager, he did succeed however, in landing him in the Governor's chair, at Springfield in 1912. --- Babylonians as Astronmers Curious Discovery that our Time, Space, and why we Count by the Dozen go Back 20,000 Years to Those Astronomers The curious discovery that we do practically everything by 6's and factors of 60 because Babylonian astronomers fixed it so 20,000 years ago has just been made by a commission of mathematics studying the subject. We count ten times 6 seconds to the minute, ten times 6 minutes to the hour, four times 6 hours to the day divide the heavens and circles into sixty times 6 degrees, and even count our eggs by the dozen, which is two because these ancient sages in extraordinary ways figured out that it was the easiest and best way to do it. No doubt you have often stopped and asked yourself: "Why do we count sixty minutes to the hour and not a hundred or any other number?" And no one has been able to tell you why. Even the Encyclopedia Britannica says, "The day has been divided into twenty-four hours from time immortal." It is a matter of general knowledge that the ancient Babylonians were great astronomers and accomplished mathematicians, for no one can measure the movements of the planets and estimate the changes in the heavenly bodies without a profound knowledge of mathematics. It is known that the wonderful Ziggurats, or stage-towers, erected on the Babylonian plains were used for astronomical work, for the ruins of these towers are in such a position as to show that they were erected with the study of the heavens in view, just as we put up our modern observatories. We do not know what telescopes the Babylonians possessed, but we do know that the calendar established by the Babylonians was absolutely correct and though figured out anywhere from six to ten thousand years ago it is correct today, although ours is several minutes wrong, and at the end of another thousand years will be a whole day out of the way. It is to be expected, then, that these ancient Babylonians must have divided time and space in order to calculate changes in one or the other, and in doing this they established this use of ODD FELLOWS TO CELEBRATE PETER OGDEN DAY. Odd Fellows in Chicago to Celebrate Peter Ogden Day in Grand Dr. Edw. P. Jones, Grand Master of Mississippi, will be the principal speaker. National Grand Master E. H. Morris and Maj. Gen. John C. Buckner also to speak. On the evening of March 3rd, the Odd Fellows of Chicago will pay tribute to their founder, Peter Ogden at Original Providence Baptist Church (west side) corner Walnut and Leavitt streets. Extensive preparations have been made by a joint committee composed of the Lodges and Households of Ruth of the City to make this the grandest affair that has been held in Chicago by this fraternity. Hon. Edw. P. Jones of Mississippi, ranks high among America's best orators. Dr. Jones is very prominent in the Order, having the honor of being Fraternal Delegate to England in 1906. He is also being urged by his many friends to accept the nomination for National Grand Master at the next B. M. C. Hon. E. H. Morris, National Grand Master of the G. U. O. O. F. in America and oftimes styled the Favorite Son of Illinois among Odd Fellows, will make a response to Dr. Jones' address. Grand Master Morris has lately returned from a trip around the Globe, coupled with that he is an ardent admirer of Peter Ogden, and naturally his remarks will be extremely interesting. Maj. Gen. John C. Buckner, commander of the Patriarchal or Military branch of the Order will act as Master of Ceremonies. Col. B. H. Johnson is chairman of the Joint Committee arranging for the Celebration and Lt. Chas. A. Griffin is chairman of the Publicity Committee. twenty-four hours of sixty minutes each. The strongest point in favor of this suggestion, the mathematicians found lies in the number SIXTY. No one ordinarily attaches any significance to that number, yet mathematicians have wondered why the Babylonians took this number as the basis of their system. In fact, the Babylonian system is called the "Sexagesimal System" because of its use of the numbers 60, 600, 6000, 60,000, etc. There must be some scientific reason for this for so wise a nation of astronomers do not adopt a great system in their calculations without a very good and sufficient reason. If the number 60 be carefully examined the reason is clear and simple. Sixty is the most easily handled of all the numbers up to and including 100, because more of the digests and tens go into it than will go into any other number. The numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 all go into 60 evenly. The number 100 is divisible only by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50, making it far more awkward to handle than the number 60. Putting one and one together, it was plain that the Babylonians, who were the first and only people to recognize the value of the number 60 and who were the first real astronomers, must have been the originators of our division of time and space, for the number 60 plays so prominent a part in time and space measurement that no one else could be credited with this division. It would have been just as easy to divide the day into twelve hours of 100 minutes and 100 seconds, and it is certain that the Babylonians appreciated to the full all the facility of the use of decimals and the system dependent upon ten, but they felt and knew that 60 was a more convenient basis than any other for their mathematical system, and for this reason they divided the hour into minutes and the minute into sixty seconds. This explanation of the value of the number sixty also explains the origin of our duodecimal system, counting by dozens and the gross. The public of Chicago is cordially invited to participate in the Peter Ogden Anniversary and also greet the noted visitor from Mississippi, Hon. Edw. P. Jones. RACE PREJUDICE HELD AS A BLOT AGAINST AMERICANS. Archbishop Ireland Denounces Feeling Toward Negro as Unchristian. I am pleased to meet my Colored friends, to say how welcome they are in the Catholic Church, and how pleased I am to see that the many White people who are here as good Catholics recognize that they are children of God, and all should be good Christian brothers. Color is a mere incident. Children of God have as much right to be pleased with one color as another, and to think in this case that we are better only shows our ignorance. Against this ridiculous prejudice Catholics are banded to protest most strongly and continuously. When that prejudice enters into a mind there is no true Catholicity, and I am anxious that the White Catholics will agree with me in this matter. This prejudice exists only in America, and it is the only country where there should be no prejudice, because it is the country for the equality of men, the prime doctrine of the constitution. But one class did not live up to it and made one class servants of another. Fortunately this did not last, and all were put on the same level. Yet many Whites remain non-American, but wherever the Catholic Church has sway this prejudice has been wiped out.

He is at his desk in the County Building bright and early every morning, and he is ever ready to discharge his official duties in the most pleasant manner. It must be cheerfully said to his great credit that he has always entertained a warm spot in his heart for decent and respectable Afro-Americans, and not long after he assumed the duties of his office he kept his word which he had given to a delegation of his Colored supporters who had called on him for the purpose of urging him to place one Colored man in his office as one of its clerks, and without any wavering he appointed Mr. George D. Gray, who has proven himself to be one of his best aids. Mr. and Mrs. Cervenka and their two bright and interesting children reside in a fine home at 2438 South Lawn-dale avenue. [Name] HON. JOHN A. CEBVENKA. The popular and courteous clerk of the Probate Court and one of the big leaders of the Democratic party on the west side. John A. Cervenka, the present affable or courteous clerk of the probate court of Cook county, was born in Bohemia, February 5, 1870. In 1882 he came to America with his father and mother, Mr. John and Mrs. Marie Cervenka. For some time after arriving in this great big country he worked hard at his trade, that of a cabinet maker, or until 1897, and from that year until 1899 he served as the business agent of the Amalgamated Woodworkers' Council of Chicago. In that same year, or in 1899, he engaged in the retail liquor business. In 1903 he assisted to promote and organize the Pilsen Brewing Company, a co-operative corporation, and he was selected as its president and general manager. For some years he has been a member of the executive and the political action committees of the United Societies for Local Self Government. Mr. Cervenka has for many years been a strong factor in Democratic politics; in fact, he is one of the most prominent leaders of his party on the great West Side, and in 1910, after carefully canvassing the political situation in an effort to find a suitable or available candidate to make the race for clerk of the probate court, one who would square on all fours, one who was [Name] HON.

City Oil Inspector for the City of Chicago who has conducted the affairs of his office in a business like manner; he is one of the high priests of the Democratic party on the north side. Mr. James A. Quinn, the hustling and active City Oil Inspector of the City of Chicago, is so extensively known, that he needs no introduction to the numerous readers of The Broad Ax. Under the former administration of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, he served as city sealer of weights and measures and he made a good record in that office. For a long period of time, he has been the high chief, of Democratic politics on the north side and it is no trouble for him to put aldermanic candidates over, or to permit them to be defeated at the polls, if he feels so disposed. Shortly after the election of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Mr. Quinn was selected by him to serve in his present capacity and his business like report in conducting the affairs of his office follows: In the year of 1911 there were 721,122 barrels inspected. In the year of 1912 there were 846,206 barrels inspected or a gain over the year of 1911, of 125,986, which is a gain in receipts of $7,505.16.

JOHN P. HOPKINS. Ex-Mayor of Chicago, Ex-member of the Democratic National Committee, one of this city's prominent business men and a patron of art. Photo by Wallinger Powers Bldg., Chicago. FRANK W. KORALESKI. Member and secretary of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, who was one of the Wilson and Marshall Presidential electors in 1912. Hon. John P. Hopkins, who has for many years been a prominent figure in local and national Democratic politics, was born in Buffalo, N. Y., October 29 1858. John and Mary (Flynn) Hopkins were his sturdy parents. His early education was received at St. Joseph's College, Buffalo, attending that educational institution until 1871. Then he mastered the machinist's trade and for two years thereafter he was the weighing master for the Evans Elevator Co., located in the city of his birth. In 1880 the feeling crept over Mr. Hopkins that Buffalo was not large enough, that it did not possess a sufficient amount of push and business enterprise to attract or to hold him fast to it for all time to come. So he removed to the great city of Chicago and in 1881 he entered the service of the Pullman Palace Car Company. He was rapidly advanced from time to time, at first serving as time keeper, then general time keeper, and later on to the position of head paymaster. He severed his connection with the Pullman Company in 1888 and from that time on he devoted his whole attention to conducting the affairs of the Arcade Trading Company, of which he had become secretary following its organization at Pullman, III., in 1885. The business of the Arcade Trading Company under the guiding hand of Mr. Hopkins was solidly and gradually enlarged, until finally it was transformed into the Secord & Hopkins Company. The firm successfully conducted eight large stores at one time On his arrival in this city he jumped right into politics and some people may not feel like giving him the credit for it, nevertheless he was the father of the movement which finally brought about the annexation to Chicago of Hyde Park, Lakeview, the Town of Lake, Jefferson and Cicero. He was chairman of the Democratic campaign committee of Cook county from 1890 to 1892. He was one of the organizers and was for four years president of the Cook County Democratic Club. At the close of the World's Fair held in this city in 1893, Mayor Carter H. Harrison, senior, was fouly assasi- nated and at the city election held in December of that same year John P. Hopkins was elected mayor of Chicago to fill out his unexpired term, serving until April 1, 1895. He was the vice-chairman of the national gold-democratic committee in 1896, and like many other good Democrats who have long since returned to the fold he could not honestly see his way clear to support Col. William Jennings Bryan at that time. He was a delegate at large to the Democratic national conventions of 1892, 1900 and 1904; he served as a member of the Democratic national committee the first mentioned year; he was chairman of the Democratic state committee of Illinois from 1901 to 1904, and he completely unhorsed the present mayor of Chicago at the Illinois state conventions in 1902 and in 1904, and at the Democratic national convention held in St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Hopkins is a thorough, up-to-date business man from the word go. He is president of the Aurora Automatic Machinery Company and director of the Chicago and Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company and of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company. He is also a heavy stock holder in several large banking institutions in this city and he ranks with its millionaires. He is a member of the Chicago Historical Society, the Art Institute, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Bibliophile Society of Boston, the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Benevolent Association. He is also a member of the Chicago Athletic Association and the Mid-Day, South Shore, Country and Germania Clubs of Chicago and the Manhattan and Tilden Clubs of New York City. For many years Mr. Hopkins has maintained his business office in the Great Northern Building, No. 20 Jackson Boulevard. From March 1, 1900, to the present time, Mr. Hopkins has been a constant subscriber to The Broad Ax, and at the suggestion of the writer, without any blowing about it, he has performed deeds for Afro-Americans who sadly needed a man of his standing and influence to step forward in their behalf and successfully intercede for them. States Senators from Indiana. And again from the opening to the closing of Col. Bryan's third presidential campaign; we worked over time for his election, but was swallowed up in defeat, for the third time, by the great hosts of the Republican party. Immediately after Woodrow Wilson, was chosen the standard bearer; of the Democratic party, at the Baltimore convention, we began an unceasing warfare, in favor of his election, and kept it up each week through the columns of The Broad Ax, until his glorious triumph, at the polls Tuesday, November 5, and 10,000 copies of The Broad Ax, of November 2nd were distributed free by wagon and ten boys, among the Afro-Americans, residing on the south side. The following quotations, were the summing up, of the presidential contest which appeared in The Columns of The Broad Ax, Saturday, November 2: Woodrow Wilson will receive 325 electoral votes, 59 more than are needed to elect him; that he will receive the greatest popular majority or plurality ever received by a presidential candidate; that he will sweep through many states, practically without any opposition, and that he will be the next President of the United States." That "hundred of thousands of Afro-Americans would vote for him in all parts of the United States and marche ALEXANDER HAMILTON'S DECEN DANTS. Alexander Hamilton, one of America's greatest statesmen, was born in the West Indian Island of Nevis, Jan. 11, 1757, and died Jan. 12, 1804, from the effect of a duel with Aaron Burr. Hamilton's father was a Scotch merchant and his mother a Colored woman. New York, Feb. 23.—William Gaston Hamilton, only surviving grandson of Alexander Hamilton, died at his residence in Gramecry Park today, in his 82nd year. Mr. Hamilton had taken a conspicuous part in the early life of New York, and besides being a trustee of many institutions, and a member of many clubs and organizations, was an amateur artist and an authority on certain phases of steam engineering and railroad construction. Three children survive him, among them William Pierson Hamilton, who married Juliet Pierpont Morgan, and Helen M. Reinelander, wife of the Rev. Philip Mercer, Rhinelander, Episcopal bishop of Pennsylvania. The descendants of Alexander Hamilton, the mulato, are today ranking in the highest, wealthiest and most aristocratic and refined circles of this country. When President Washington made Hamilton his personal friend and adviser, Secretary of the Treasury, it was well known that he was a mulato; for he had been publicly taunted about the same upon the floor of the Constitutional Convention. Hamilton inaugurated the financial system, which saved the public credit the nation and gained for him the well merited reputation of the greatest financier of his day. Hamilton would have been long ago, nationally honored by some lasting and fitting memorial to his great genius, his services during the war and in times of peace, but for the material ghost of Nevis' Island, the dark woman who gave him birth, one hundred and fifty-six years ago. This country cannot forgive Hamilton for being a Negro. FRANK W. KORALESKI Frank W. Koraleski, was born in the city of Poughkeepsie, New York, on January 7, 1874. The following year his parents moved to Chicago. He received his education at the grammar and high schools of this city. In January, 1895, he graduated from the Chicago College of Law. Immediately thereafter he entered upon the practice of law and soon acquired a large clientage. At present he is a member of the law firm of Irwin and Koraleski, suite 1909 City Hall Square Building. In 1908 he was elected alderman of the 16th ward, and re-elected by an increased majority. In 1910 he was elected a member of the Cook County Board of Assessors, in which position he has proven himself to be an efficient official and has always evinced a zeal for the public welfare. He is a member of a large Polish benevolent and charitable organization, and has played a prominent part in the movement for the betterment of his people. He is happily married, is the father of two children and resides at 1924 Evergreen avenue. Mr. Koraleski is not only held in the highest esteem by his Polish-American fellow citizens, but he is held in the highest respect by the great mass of people of other nationalities, and as an evidence of this fact he was chosen as one of the Democratic presidential electors in 1912 and shortly after the first of January, 1913, he had the honor of casting the electoral vote for Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall for president and vice-president of the United States. on to victory with him." At this point, another paragraph on the election of Woodrow Wilson is reproduced from that same issue of The Broad Ax: "Never have we made the slightest pretensions of being the first, second or third son of a phophet, but we verily believe that on Tuesday, November 5th, this all-prevailing spirit and feeling on the part of the people, that it is time to make a change, will sweep Woodrow Wilson into the White House." The following appeared in the columns of this paper the first Saturday after his election: No question about; we feel quite elated over the fact; that we were able to hold our ear close to the ground, and distinctly hear, the mighty tread and the rumblings of the sixteen million voters and that more than seven million of that number recorded their votes in favor of the election of Wilson and Marshall and to clearly and rightly read the signs of the times. "It is therefore, our firm and honest conviction that when President Wilson and Vice-President Marshall, assume the reins of this government, on the 4th of March, 1913; that peace, happiness and prosperity, on the part of all the people will be increased ten folds and that this country, will surpass its self in every way, as the greatest nation on earth." "First Maryland Company," Colored, Will March in Wilson Inaugural Parade in Center of Maryland Militia. Has Done So At Every Inaugural Except Roosevelt's.—Other Colored Militia Companies Will Be In Line. --- (Baltimore Special to The Broad Ax) It has been authoritatively stated that the First Maryland company (Negroes), National Guard, would take part in the inaugural parade on March 4. General Macklin said that the company had taken part in the parades since the first inauguration of Grover Cleveland. Col. Charles D. Gaither stated that the company would be in the center of the Maryland men who will be sent to Washington. Here is the formation of the Maryland Militia men in the inaugural parade: First Company of the First Regiment, Fifth Regiment, Fourth Regiment, First Maryland Company (Negroes), One company of Coast Artillery, Hospital Corps, Troop A, Naval Brigade. The First Maryland Company will not be the only company of Negroes in the line, for, as is customary, there will be a regiment from the District of Columbia. William R. Spencer, captain of the Maryland Negro company, said that he had received orders to go to Washington for the inauguration and that his company, 60 strong, will leave March 3. He added that the company has been organized 31 years and has taken part in all the inaugural parades during that time except that of Theodore Roosevelt. THE OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE TO ENTERTAIN ITS FRIENDS. Washington, D. C., Feb. 23, 1913 Special to The Broad Ax: The local branch of the National Independent Political League, Rev. Dr. J. M. Waldron, local President and National Organizer, has arranged to entertain members of the League in attendance on the Inauguration, at a Round Table and Social on the night of Thursday, March 6th. Visiting members are requested to register at headquarters, Lewis Building, sixth Street and Louisiana Avenue, Northwest, as soon after arrival as convenient. The headquarters which is well furnished and roomy will be open for members and friends night and day during the week. It is only one block from Pennsylvania Avenue along which the parade will pass and one block from Seventh Street, the main business street of the city. F. H. M. Murray, Washington correspondent of the Boston Guardian is chairman of the entertainment committee. HELEN GOULD'S COLORED MAIL CARRIERS' GIFT HONORED. One of the many gifts presented Miss Helen Gould at her marriage to Mr. J. Finlay Shepard, was a small fac simile of a postoffice letter box, given to her by her Negro letter carrier. The gift while trivial as compared with many of the other expensive and costly presents, was placed on display along with the others. The Herald reporter found the Negro carrier's gift resting in an almost solid gold jewel box costing fully $30,000. In the same box was a small piece of fancy needle work made by a blind girl in a school which Mrs. Shepard had aided financially.

TPED 74 Ex-Commissioner of Public Works of Chicago; Ex-City Treasurer; Member of the Board of Review; popular and influential German-American, Democratic politician and one of the best and most highly honored business men in this city; head of the Brennan Construction Company; manager of John Blocki and Son; manufacturers of fine perfumes and a strong follower of President Woodrow Wilson. Roger C. Sullivan, who has been in the public eye, for many years, far more prominently, than millions of his fellow countrymen, was born at Belvidere, Illinois, February 2, 1861. His parents, were Eugene and Mrs. Mary Sullivan. After receiving his education in the public schools, Mr. Sullivan came to Chicago to expand his business and political wings, and not long after doing so he became a power in Democratic politics. In 1890, he was elected clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County, serving until 1894. While officiating in that capacity he was many times severely chided by his friends and associates, because he persisted in employing a Colored man in his office, in the person of William G. Anderson, as his private secretary and stenographer. His friends labored under the impression, that a white man should hold down that position, but Mr. Sullivan very plainly informed them that just as long as Mr. Anderson discharged his duties properly that he would not separate him from the pay roll, on account of the color of his skin, and he remained as his secretary and stenographer until the end of his term as clerk of the Probate Court. That act on the part of Mr. Sullivan has caused him to be held high in the estimation of the better class of Afro-Americans residing in this city. From 1890, to the present time Mr. Sullivan has been a member of the Gen- tral committee of the Democratic party of Cook County. He was a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1904 to 1912. He has served as president of the Ogden Gas Company since 1902, with his business office at 122 S. Michigan Ave. He is president of the Sawyer Cracker Co., which employees almost one hundred men. He is one of the directors of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Co., and a heavy stock holder and one of the directors of the Peoples Trust and Savings Bank. He is also heavily interested in various other lines of business. He is a member of the Union League Club, the Chicago Athletic Association, the Iroquois Club, the Mid-Day and the South Shore Clubs. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan occupy one of the finest homes in Chicago, residing at 2954 Washington Blvd., and within a short length of time two of their most highly accomplished and very beautiful daughters have married into the best and wealthiest families in this city. How Mr. Sullivan swung the 48 delegates from Illinois to the Baltimore Convention from Champ Clark, to Woodrow Wilson, thus putting an end to the long drawn out deadlock, and then after the nomination of Mr. Wilson contributing between five and ten thousand dollars to his campaign fund to aid in his election to the Presidency of the United States has become a part of the history of this country. ```markdown ``` Photo by Matzene, Fine Arts Building, Chicago. HON. SAMUEL ALSCHULER. One of Chicago's most pre-eminent lawyers; delegate at large to the Baltimore Convention; member of the committee on permanent organization and he nobly performed his part in assisting to nominate Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. Ex-Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois; successful banker and up-to-date business man of Edwardsville, Ill., delegate-at-large to the Baltimore Convention; who assisted to lead the break from Champ Clark to Woodrow Wilson. Illinois member of the Democratic National Committee who is more than likely in the near future to be nominated and elected to the United States Senate. Samuel Alschuler, one of the ablest lawyers in the middle west and one of the most prominent Democratic politicians in the great state of Illinois, was born in this city, November 20, 1859, and while he was still a small boy his highly respected and honored parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Alschuler, removed with him to his future home, Aurora, Illinois, where he has resided unto this day. He received his education in the public schools in the city of his adoption and in time graduating from its high school with high honors. On leaving school he became a clerk in a gens' furnishing goods store and he cheerfully sold cotton socks, shoes and finery to many of the young bloods of his boyhood days, who have since become prominent in the various walks of life. At the end of his two years' clerkship, he began the active study of law, and being apt, and possessing a keen legal mind, he was quick to grasp or embrace all of the propositions pertaining to the law and it was an easy task for him to thoroughly master Blackstone, so much so; that he was admitted to the Illinois Bar, in 1881, and since that time, he has been admitted to the bar of all federal courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States, and he has proven-himself to be, a great honor to his chosen profession. He has always experienced much pleasure in dabbling in politics, and in 1892, he made an unsuccessful race for congress in the Aurora congressional district. He honorably served as State Commissioner of claims under the late Governor John P. Altgeld, from 1893 to 1896. He was a member of the legislature of Illinois, from 1896 to 1900, and while a member of that body, he accomplished much good and was instrumental in securing the enactment of laws, which have been very beneficial to the people of this state. In 1900, the Democracy of Illinois, nominated Mr. Alschuler, to make the race for governor. He made a brilliant campaign, against Richard Yates, and he swept through Chicago, like a streak of lightning, pulling the votes of many thousand Afro-Americans after him; carrying the city against President William McKinley, which was a fine tribute to his popularity. He received over 500,000 votes which was the largest vote up to that time, ever recorded in favor of a Democratic candidate for governor of this state. In 1901, he became a member of the well-known and extensive law firm of Kraus, Alschuler and Holden and they occupy most elaborate suites of law offices in this city, or in fact in any section of the country, on the twelfth floor of the Tribune Building. They have a library, consisting of between five and seven thousand elegantly bound books, covering every phase or branch of the law. Mr. Alschuler was a delegate at large to the Denver convention and served as a member of the committee on Resolutions; he made the race for Governor of this state at the primaries, April 6, 1912, but the Hon. E. F. Dunne beat him to it, no one however, supported the present Governor more loyally than Mr. Alschuler; he was a delegate at large to the Baltimore convention and was a member of the committee on permanent organization and he labored hard to bring about the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. From June the first, 1900 down to the present time Mr. Alschuler has been a financial subscriber to The Broad Ax and once each week it finds its way into his elegant home, 160 Lincoln ave.. Aurora, Illinois. There is one thing more that we cannot refrain from saying to the credit 01 Mr. Alschuler, and that is that he at all times deports himself like a first class gentleman and it affords us much pleasure to state that he is an honor to the great state of Illinois, to this mighty nation and to humanity. Dr. Wm. Charles White, Professor of Medicine in the University of Pittsburgh, in a recent issue of the Bulletin of the American Academy of Medicine, discusses in a most interesting way the question of conservation of child life. Dr. White, after calling attention to the lowering birth rate all over the world, and especially in one of the New England States, namely Rhode Island, where in 1910 there were only one-half as many births as were recorded in 1908, says: "Opposed in a measure to the great army of child producers who are, in one way or another, curtailing the supply is a growing army of conservationists to which we belong. The great aim of this group of workers is to conserve and retain for future usefulness those children who escapes the vigilance of their forbears and get born. To us every child is a treasure of growing value, the more we spend upon it in feeding and educating it." Continuing, Dr. White says: "The baby begins to cost money the moment it is born, in food, clothing and care; and this is greatly increased by sickness and if the baby dies, is a total loss. Among the expenses attributable to sickness is the great group of ailments due to the infection of the respiratory tract, such as adenoids, coughs, colds, bronchitis, etc., with their many complications. According to Dr. White, and the correctness of his assertions will not be disputed, it is impossible to compute the annual loss and suffering from this group of diseases or even to prospect upon the foundations laid by them for the more serious maladies in the future. The common colds, coughs, enlarged tonsils, adenoids, pneumonias, etc., cause more sickness than any other thing or group of things and are, therefore, the source of the greatest waste and loss. Then the doctor gives us this important conclusion. He says: "After watching a large number of children in the dispensary and over 500orphans in the Presbyterian Orphanage for some years in and out of homes, in and out of schools, closed and open, I am convinced that the three fundamental causes in producing sickness from these infections in children, in addition to the specific infective agents spread by coughing, sneezing and spitting, are POOR FOOD, POOR AIR and TOO LITTLE REST. The doctor lays much stress on the importance and value of food, air and rest as factors that increase the child's resisting power against infection and adds that his observations show that in spite of the continued presence of the infecting agents, if only good food, good air and rest are properly supplied, the infection soon disappears or does not occur in spite of the presence of the infecting agent." Dr. White now has two such schools under his care, one the second in the United States, for the open air treatment of tuberculous children, and one, the first of its kind, for children culled from the inmates of a large orphanage. And it is simply miraculous, he tells us, how quickly the almost universal coughs, running noses, and sputum of the children clear up with more food, fresh air and rest; how rapidly the tonsils reduce in size and how free they remain from future infections unless a return is made to the former unhealthful conditions. BOBERT MAGNER SWEITZER. Robert Magner Sweitzer, the hono able and efficient clerk of the county court of Cook county, is a native of Chicago, he first seeing the light of day in it May 10, 1868. His parents were John Martin and Mrs. Sarah (Lanning) Sweitzer, who were among the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Chicago. He received his early education in the city of his birth, graduating from its higher branches with the usual honors. As he approached manhood he entered St. Patrick's Commercial Academy and after diligently applying himself to his studies, for some years he emerged from it in 1884 well fortified or equipped to follow a commercial pursuit, and shortly after doing so he became connected with James H. Walker Company, wholesale dry goods merchants, and he held a responsible position with that firm for seven years, or until its failure in 1903. Then he became connected with the wholesale dry goods house of John V. Farwell Co., November 15, 1893, and remained with that old established and well known house until December 1, 1910, and if it had not been for the fact that he was elected Cook county clerk in the last mentioned year he would still be holding down a high position with that firm. Mr. Sweitzer is extremely popular among a large circle of loyal and steadfast friends, for he thoroughly understands in his quiet and soft manner how to draw men or friends to him and CONSERVE THE CHILD --- . . . . . . THIRTY THOUSAND BEDS PROVIDED—TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND NEEDED. Rapid Progress of Anti-tuberculosis Campaign and Future Needs Shown in Interesting Comparison. New York. Feb. 20th: Some comparisons showing the progress of the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the last eight years and the present needs of this movement are made by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a brief report of its work issued to-day in connection with an appeal for further support. During the eight years of its work, The National Association has assisted in the organization of over 800 state and local anti-tuberculosis societies located in almost every state and territory of the union. Over 500 hospitals and sanatoria have been established with more than 30,000 beds for consumptives. About 400 dispensaries with more than 1000 physicians in attendance and at least 150 open air schools for tuberculous and anaemic children have also been provided. Laws dealing with tuberculosis have been passed in forty-five states and ordinances on this subject have been adopted in over 200 cities and towns. An active field campaign of education against tuberculosis has been carried on in forty states and territories by means of lectures, exhibits, the press, and the distribution of over 100,000,000 pamphlets on this disease. Contrasted with this rapid progress which the anti-tuberculosis campaign has made, The National Association points out that at the present time there is still need for at least 100,000 hospital beds for indigent consumptives in the advanced stages of the disease who must be segregated if tuberculosis is to be kept from spreading. Another 100,000 beds in sanatoria for tuberculosis patients, who are in the early or curable stages of the disease are needed. In addition to this large bed provision, The National Association affirms that visiting nurses, tuberculosis clinics and open air schools should be established in almost every city and town of the United States. Furthermore, the present campaign contemplates the continuous education of practically the entire population of the United States amounting to 90,000,000 people, and the extension of the campaign of organization already in effect to take in every state, city and town of the country.
