The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX The Rev. Honorable Archibold Jackson Carey Ph. D.D.D. is the Greatest Political Acrobat of the age EVER SINCE HE HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF CHICAGO HE HAS ENDEAVORED TO RIDE MANY POLITICAL HORSES IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME. IN 1903, HE AND REV. ABRAHAM LINCOLN MURRAY AND REV. R. C. BANSOM SUPPORTED THE LATE GRAEME STEWART FOR MAYOR UNTIL THE EVE OF THE ELECTION. THEN THEY SWITCHED OFF TO CARTER H. HARRISON UNDER THE PRETEXT THAT MR. STEWART HAD DECLARED THAT HE COULD BUY ALL THE COLORED VOTERS HE WANTED TO FOR 50 CENTS APIECE. IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE THREE DIVINES MENTIONED RECEIVED $100. EACH FROM ALDERMAN JOHN J. COUGHLIN FOR THE SUPPORT OF MAYOR HARRISON. IN 1905, THE PRESENT POLITICAL PASTOR OF THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH SUPPORTED JOHN M. HARLAN FOR MAYOR AS AGAINST JUDGE EDWARD P. DUNNE, PLACING THE PRESENT GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS IN THE SAME CLASS OR BOAT WITH THE NEGRO HATING SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS. IN 1907, HE PLAYED FAST AND LOOSE WITH MAYOR DUNNE AND FRED A. BUSSE, SUCCESSFULLY WORKING BOTH ENDS AND THE MIDDLE. AT THE MAYORALTY ELECTION OF 1911 HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR JOHN R. THOMPSON FOR THAT OFFICE, AND ON THE SUNDAY BEFORE THE PRIMARIES HE ABRANGED TO HOLD A MEBRIAM MEETING IN THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH IN THE AFTERNOON AND A THOMPSON MEETING AT THE SAME PLACE IN THE EVENING. THE MERRIAM CAMPAIGN MANAGERS WOULD NOT STAND FOR SUCH A RAW DEAL OR DOUBLE-CROSSING AND THEIR MEETING WAS CALLED OFF. BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEY NEVER SEEN THE SIGHT OF THE $100. WHICH THEY HAD PUT UP TO HOLD THE MEETING AT THAT CHURCH. PRIOR TO THE APRIL PRIMARIES, IN 1912, REV. CAREY WAS IN CHARGE OF THE COLORED HEADQUARTERS OF THE LINCOLN LEAGUE, 120 W. RANDOLPH STREET, AND AFTER FAILING IN ATTEMPTING TO PUT LEW SMALL OVER THE PLATE FOR GOV-ERNOR. HE EXPENDED MUCH OF HIS TIME IN HANGING AROUND THE STATE AND NATIONAL REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. BUT NO EASY MONEY BEING IN SIGHT, IT HAS BEEN ASSERTED BY THOSE WHO ARE IN A POSITION TO KNOW, THAT $100. FROM THE DUNNE CAMPAIGN FUND FOUND ITS WAY INTO HIS HIP POCKET. THAT HE INFORMED SOME ONE AT SOME TIME SOMEWHERE THAT AS JUDGE DUNNE WAS HARMLESS THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE A GREAT CRIME TO ELECT HIM GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. Vol. XVIII. The Rev. H.

WHICH MEETING AT THAT CHURCH. PRIOR TO THE APRIL PRIMARIE CHARGE OF THE COLORED LEAGUE, 120 W. RANDOLPH ATTEMPTING TO PUT LEW SEL ERNOR. HE EXPENDED MUCH OF HIS TIMES AND NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. BUT NO EASY MONEY BEING IN THOSE WHO ARE IN A POSITION DUNNE CAMPAIGN FUND POUCH THAT HE INFORMED SOME OF THAT AS JUDGE DUNNE WAS BE A GREAT CRIME TO ELECT It has been wisely and truly said that the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D. D. stands in a class all by himself when it comes down to being a trickster in politics, and that he is the greatest political acrobat of the present age, that he cannot be excelled in this respect in any part of the world. It can also be honestly said to his undying discredit that since he has become a resident of Chicago he has successfully endeavored to mount and ride many political horses in opposite directions at the same time. That he becomes mad like unto a raving maniac or madman whenever he is permitted to come near unto political money and some of those who know him from a to z freely assert that "he would be perfectly willing to throw all of his so-called religion and his supposed high calling to the dogs and loyally support the boss devil himself, be he Democrat or Republican, friend or bitter foe, to the best interest of the people in general, provided however, that his hog-all-hands would be well greased with money to pay him for his support of his satanic majesty. No living man, nor dead one, for that matter, would or could be able to write the true story of his double dealing in politics for money during the years that have gone by or since he blow in this city from away down in the back-woods of Georgia, where many of the preachers feel that they have no higher Christian duties to perform than to make love to all the fair ladies and to fill up to the brim on old Kentuky red-eye or tanglefoot apple jack. HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY His dishonorable political career in Chicago runs something like the following: At the spring election in this city in 1903 the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and Revs. Abraham Lincoln Murray and R. C. Ransom were strong in their support of the late Graeme Stewart for mayor, right up to the eve of the election. They had attended and spoke at meetings in the interest of his election and they claimed that, being a Republican, he stood well in the sight of their A. M. E. Political God, and after they had succeeded in working or milking the Republican heifers or managers out of some easy money, they began to figure on how to work the Democratic cows or managers out of some more money, in other words, they attempted to place themselves in a position to exclaim good Lord and good Devil at the same time. As stated before, to all outward appearances they were loyal in their support to Mr. Stewart for mayor until the Sunday evening prior to the election, then like three card montien men they said presto change and-lo and behold they did change, for on that Sunday evening they switched off from Mr. Stewart to Carter H. Harrison, under the pretext that Mr. Stewart had declared that "he could buy all the Colored voters he wanted to for 50 cents apiece." It seems that the three-stall-fed preachers had lost sight of the fact that Mr. Stewart's managers had actually bought three pulpit ranters and bible pounders who absolutely refused to remain bought for real money. It cannot be true, but it is claimed CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER. 20 1913 M. H. that the three divines already mentioned received $100 each for their support of Mayor Harrison. On the Saturday morning before the election the writer beheld Revs. Carey, Ransom and Murray and Presiding Elder J. M. McCracken, in company with Alderman John Coughlin, enter the inner office of the man of destiny, the Hon. Carter H. Harrison. Elder McCracken was introduced to him as the then reigning bishop of this A. M. E. district, and he politely informed Mayor Harrison that he looked like ready and easy money and that he certainly looked mighty good to his associate preachers and their shouting Methodist God. Sunday before the primaries he are ranged to hold a Merriam meeting in the Institutional Church in the after noon and a Thompson meeting at the same place on Sunday evening. The Merriam campaign managers kicked up mighty high and they would not stand for such a raw deal or double crossing, and they had the Merriam meeting called off. But they claim that they never saw the sight of the $100, which they had put up to hold the meeting at that church. Prior to the April primaries in 1912, the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D.D.D., was in charge of the Colored headquarters of the Lincoln League, 120 W. Randolph street, and On the Sunday evening following this interview with Mayor Harrison, Rev. Ransom of Institutional church, Rev. Murray at Bethel church, and Rev. Carey at Quinn Chapel, all delivered sermons from their pulpits advocating the re-election of the present Mayor of Chicago and one or two of them did not hesitate in letting it be known that they had received some of the long-green from somebody for speaking out in favor of the election of Carter H. Harrison. In 1905 the present political pastor of the Institutional church supported John M. Harlan for Mayor as against Judge Edward F. Dunne, he at that time contending that the present Governor of Illinois should be placed in the same boat or class with the Negro hating Southern Democrats. That a vote for Judge Dunne for Mayor of Chicago meant that you were in favor of disfranchising the Colored people in the Southern states. He advised his hearers from his pulpit in Quinn Chapel at that time, to take all the Democratic money that they could lay their hands on, and then turn around and vote the Republican ticket, that no selfrespecting Negro could ever become a Democrat. At the spring election in 1907 he played fast and loose with Mayor Dunne and with Fred A. Busse, successfully working both ends and the middle. During the national campaign of 1908, it is maintained that he agreed to deliver speeches in favor of the election of Messrs. Taft and Sherman for fifty dollars per week, that after he had unwound several speeches, that he would not budge until he received one hundred dollars per week for saying nothing.' In the spring election of 1911, when the mayoralty contest was at fever heat, he was supposed to be for John B. Thompson for that office, and on the Sunday before the primaries he arranged to hold a Merriam meeting in the Institutional Church in the afternoon and a Thompson meeting at the same place on Sunday evening. The Merriam campaign managers kicked up mighty high and they would not stand for such a raw deal or double crossing, and they had the Merriam meeting called off. But they claim that they never saw the sight of the $100, which they had put up to hold the meeting at that church. Prior to the April primaries in 1912, the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D.D.D., was in charge of the Colored headquarters of the Lincoln League, 120 W. Randolph street, and after failing in attempting to put Lew Smaff over the plate for Governor, he expended much time in hanging around the State and National Republican headquarters. But for some cause or other, no easy money being in sight in that direction, it has been asserted by those who are in a position to know what they are talking about, that $100. from the Dunne campaign fund found its way into his hip pocket, that he informed some one at some time, some where to the effect that "Judge Dunne was perfectly harmless, therefore it might not be a great crime to elect a Democrat like him Governor of Illinois." All of the foregoing seems to unmistakably indicate that the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D.D.D., is so awfully unstraight that it is almost impossible for him to straighten himself out in any wide political bed. McCLURG'S SELL OUT "A LITTLE DREAMING." Last Monday morning A. C. McClurg & Co. sold out its entire consignment of Fenton Johnson's book of poetry, "A Little Dreaming." The head buyer of the firm considers this a phenomenal record for poetry, as the book was not placed on the market until July 2nd. The Negro poet now takes his place among the "best sellers," and is a commercial as well as artistic success. A new stock has been placed on McClurg's shelves, and the largest book store in the West is ready to serve all comers. The success of Mr. Johnson's book is due to a large extent to the Negro press. With the exception of one local weekly, the entire press has kept the public informed regarding the activ- One or two of the Afro- American newspapers in Chicago delight to dish up false or fake stories IT WAS PROCLAIMED IN THE COLUMNS IN ONE OF THEM NOT LONG AGO THAT A WHITE MILLIONAIRE IN THIS CITY AT THE END OF A LOVE AFFAIR WAS FORCED TO MARRY HIS COLORED MAID. THAT WAS ONE OF THE RANKEST AND RAWEST STORIES AND FALSE HOODS EVER MANUFACTURED OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH. MANY OF THE IGNORANT COLORED PEOPLE IN THIS CITY AND SOME OF THE NEWSPAPERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHOSE EDITORS DO NOT POSSESS SEEMINGLY ONE OUNCE OF BRAINS FELL FOR IT. IT WAS STATED IN THE COLUMNS OF ONE OF THESE PAPERS A FEW YEARS AGO THAT A GREAT PAPER HOUSE WOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY ITS EDITOR AND THAT THE PAPER WOULD BE TRANSFORMED INTO A DAILY NEWSPAPER. MEETINGS WERE HELD IN MANY OF THE COLORED CHURCHES AT THAT TIME AND MANY WEAK-MINDED FOOLS PAID IN FROM $1. TO $25. FOR STOCK IN THE COLORED DAILY NEWSPAPER. BUT UP TO THE PRESENT TIME NO PAPER HOUSE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THE DAILY PAPER HAS FAILED TO MAKE ITS APPEARANCE. There are one or two Afro-American newspapers in Chicago which run away ahead of the Chicago American in publishing blood and thunder stories, and come to think of it there are many silly or half crazy people both White and Colored running at large who drink in such rot or hog wash as the absolute truth. false or fake story, to enable them to plan how to catch some White millionaire, in the same way bump his head and successfully work him out of some money by making love to him and in the end make him pay her more money than the law requires for the support of her child. Several weeks ago it was proclaimed through the columns of one of these newspapers that "a White gentleman, a millionaire residing on Grand Boulevard, had for some time been making love to his Colored housemaid, and at the end of their love affair the White millionaire was forced by some nameless judge to marry her, and made him sign a bond for $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month as he desired, for the support of her child which he was the father of—that his Colored maid was to receive $35 per week until her or his child becomes of age"—and so on. That was by far one of the rankest and meanest stories and downright falsehoods ever published by any so-called decent or respectable newspapers in any part of the wide world: it was manufactured out of whole cloth and it did not contain one word or grain of truth in it. No doubt that many nice looking Colored girls bought a copy of that issue of the paper in order to read the cities of the leading poet of the race. To the Chicago Broad Ax belongs the credit of discovering and encouraging Mr. Johnson. MISS SINCLARE WHITE THE NOTED VIOLINIST TO BE DIVORCED FROM HER ITALIAN BARBER HUSBAND. Attorney William G. Anderson, this week filed a bill in the Superior Court to annul the marriage of Miss Sinclare White, to Guiseppe Amoto, her Italian barber husband. Miss White is the only daughter or child of Franklin P. and Mrs. Cora White, 5707 Federal street. She has always been the apple of their eye. She was petted and permitted to do as she pleased in all things. They expended considerable money on her in order to give her a musical education and as a violinist she has won both diamond and gold medals, which she captured in spirited contests in the Chicago Musical College, and she has become one of the most noted violinists in Chicago. Miss White has been fairly worshipped by both White and Colored people wherever she has performed on the violin. No. 51 false or fake story, to enable them to plan how to catch some White millionaire, in the same way bump his head and successfully work him out of some money by making love to him and in the end make him pay her more money than the law requires for the support of her child. It is sad indeed to state that many ignorant Colored people in this city, and some of the newspapers throughout the country whose editors seemingly do not possess one ounce of brains, fell for that rotten and pernicious story. It was stated in the columns of one of the same newspapers that a great paper house would be established by its editor and that the paper would be transformed into a daily newspaper. At that time many meetings were held in the Colored churches in the interest of the Colored daily newspaper, and hundreds of weak-minded Colored people or fools who were unable to see over their nose, paid in from $1 to $25 for stock in the Colored daily newspaper. But up to the present time no large paper house has been established and the Colored daily newspaper has utterly failed to make its appearance. It has been said by some one that the wise or smart Colored people, like the very wise White people, delight to be tricked or humbugged out of their money. Sometime ago her parents permitted her to play on the vaudeville stage and while on a trip to Milwaukee she met the Italian barber mentioned above, who made love to her and swiftly won her warm and impulsive heart and about six weeks ago they quietly made their "getaway" and got married without the advice or consent of her parents and as Miss White was born August 23, 1895, in Chicago, she is still under age and after it is all over her mother is going to step in and help her to become unmarried.

With a plentiful supply of air and sunshine always in our homes will be also a goodly supply of bodily health and vigor. Dirt means disease and death. Cleanliness means health and happiness. Flat dwellers should not keep animal pets. Steam heated apartments are not adapted for housing dogs, cats and human beings together. Good milk should not only be rich and pure, it should be clean. The mildest cases of either Diphtheria or Scarlet Fever are as dangerous for well children to be associated with as are those of the most malignant type, and the most dangerous of all is what is called the unrecognized case of either of the diseases mentioned. It is well known that from the mildest cases of either Diphtheria or Scarlet Fever the most malignant form may be, and often is, contracted. Many times people will insist upon the early termination of quarantine for the reason, as they put it, "The child was hardly sick at all." For the same reason, too, they will think that the disease "could not be catching." This is a serious mistake, as the child with a light attack is just as dangerous, as a means of spreading the contagion, as is the child that has the disease in its worst form. Here is a case that illustrates what we are trying to make clear: A young married man with a wife and little child complained of not feeling well for nearly two weeks, but despite this fact continued at his work. At the end of this time his wife was taken with Scarlet Fever in its worst form and a few days later, after her removal to the hospital, the baby was stricken with the same disease. Within ten days after their admission to the hospital both the mother and baby died. An examination of the husband, made at the time his wife was taken, showed that he had had the Scarlet Fever in a mild form and was still suffering from it. The only trouble was that it was so mild that it was not recognized as being Scarlet Fever, but it cost him the lives of his entire family. Mild cases spread more contagion than do the severe ones. DOUBLE RED CROSS OF SAME PROPORTIONS WILL BE USED BY ALL ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS ORGANIZATIONS. A special committee of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, of which Dr. Henry Barton Jaeobs of Baltimore is chairman, announces today the exact proportions of the double red cross, the international tuberculosis emblem, which have been adopted for use in the United States. Every organization or institution dealing with tuberculosis will be urged to use the emblem in its correct proportions. Although the double red cross was adopted for use in the United States in 1006 as the symbol of the crusade against tuberculosis, no effort was made to standardize the shape or proportions, with the result that hundreds of differently formed emblems are now being used in this country. After a year of study of the history and artistic merits of all of the designs available, the National Association has finally chosen one in which all of the arms are pointed, the two cross-arms being of the same length. The width of the cross is taken as the unit in determining the proportions. The length of the lower leg is 7 units; the arms are 3 units on either side; the point above the arms, $2\frac{1}{2}$ units; and the distance between the arms, $1\frac{1}{2}$ units. These measurements hold good for any size. The double red cross was first adopted as the symbol of the International Anti-Tuberculosis Association in Berlin, in October, 1802. The proposer of the symbol was Dr. G. Sersiron of Paris, who is now Associate Secretary of L'Association Centrale Franceise Centre in Tuberculose. Today the emblem is being used by anti-tuberculosis workers in every part of the world, even in Iceland, India, South Africa, Labrador, Japan, China and the Philippines. The double red cross is similar in shape to a cross used frequently in the Greek Catholic Churches, and also to the Lorraine Cross of France. In the United States over 1200 antituberculosis associations and committees, nearly 550 sanatoria and hospitals; 400 dispensaries and about 200 open air schools, besides a number of other organizations, are using the double red cross as their emblem. Wherever it is seen, it means war against tuberculosis.

EX-UNITED STATES SENATOR WILLIAM LORIMER, PRESIDES AT AN EDUCATIONAL MEETING IN CHICAGO. He Urged His Friends and Others to Aid or Help the Atlanta Industrial School. An educational mass meeting was held at Bethel church here today. Bishop Samuel W. Fallows, who was to preside, was sick, and ex-Senator William Lorimer presided instead. Mr. Lorimer said, among other things: "I am buying a farm in the delta of Mississippi. I have always felt friendly to Colored people, and believe they should be educated and prepared for their life work just as other people. The American people can claim no credit when they have mistreated that race because they are black. I believe in the education for which this institution stands." Rev. Richard D. Stinson, of the Atlanta Industrial college, told the story of the founding of the school and the interest manifested by the leading white people of Atlanta. He pleaded with the audience to give him a thousand dollars. The mixed congregation of one thousand people appeared to be greatly interested. Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, E. J. Fisher, Anthony Overton, a colored manufacturer of Chicago, Dr. A. Wilberfore Williams, Dr. W. L. Jenkins and Alberta Moore Smith also spoke. Anita Patti Brown sang plantation melodies. In some respects the meeting was said to be one of the best of its kind ever held by the better of Negroes in Chicago. Many prominent people present expressed a willing desire to take the school under advisement and aid it. Senator Lorimer paid a compliment to the prominent White people whose names he saw in a booklet that are manifesting interest in the institution. —The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga., September 8, 1913. Charles Woodson aquitted in the Criminal Court by a jury before Judge McDonald ATTORNEY WILLIAM G. ANDERSON SCORES A GREAT VICTORY WHEN THE JURY RETURNED A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY AFTER IT HAD BEEN OUT ALL DAY. CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT IN THE COURT ROOM WHEN JUDGE McDONALD ENTERED THE FORMAL ORDER DISCHARGING WOODSON FROM THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF. ATTORNEY ANDERSON'S PLEA OF "SELF DEFENSE" SUCCESSFULLY INTERPOSED IN THIS CASE MARKS HIM AS ONE OF CHICAGO'S LEADING CRIMINAL LAWYERS. As predicted in last Saturday's edition of The Broad Ax, Charles Woodson won his fight for his life when the jury late Friday night, September 12th, after being out twenty-four hours brought in a verdict of "Not Guilty of Murder." Everyone who heard Attorney Anderson's argument to the jury pronounced it a "master piece of legal ingenuity." This case will go down in history as one of the great murder trials in Cook County where a Colored lawyer won on Charles Woodson, on the witness stand, had admitted shooting Sam Coleman, but pleaded self defense. The state contended that Woodson, after the murder, had placed a large bread knife near the deceased's right hand and had deliberately shot Coleman. As stated in last week's issue, Mrs. Woods had requested Mr. Woodson to go to the door, when Coleman knocked on the door, but not to admit him. The shooting began shortly after the door was opened. When a representative of The Broad Ax called on Attorney Anderson in his office, 143 N. Dearborn street, the morning following the verdict, the fortunate Charles Woodson was just opening a telegram from his aged mother in the South congratulating him on his victory.

ANDERSON, The famous Habeas Corpus lawyer, who continues to put the best lawyers to flight in the courts of Cook County. THE NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE The Negro Fellowship League is now located at its new quarters at 3005 State street. All friends are cordially invited to call. It was organized May 1, 1910 for the purpose of developing loyalty to, and fellowship within the race; to labor for the elevation of the moral, civic and social standards of the race and especially the young man. The president and founder, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett feels that the need of the work is now greater than ever and hopes to accomplish much since the League in its new location is in the more thickly populated section of the black belt. FOREST NOTES. Two million trees will be planted on The League is now entering upon its fourth year of service. It has been able to furnish a recreation center, where young men and boys could spend their leisure hours amid wholesome surroundings, reading, playing checkers, writing letters or enjoying a quiet discussion on questions of the day; instead of idling away their time in saloons or pool rooms which were the only places that welcomed them prior to the opening of the Reading Room. Interesting meetings are held Sunday afternoon at four o'clock; on Wednesday evening the Alpha Suffrage Club meets, and women are taught the proper use of the ballot; Thursday evening the meeting of the Men's Civic Club is held and young men are drilled in parliamentary law. The public is cordially invited to all these meetings. Our secretary, Mr. G. E. Carter, will be very glad to tell you all about it, and what you can do to help make the League more helpful to the race. Mr. William Murray is manager of our Employment Bureau. Everyone who heard Attorney Anderson's argument to the jury pronounced it a "master piece of legal ingenuity." This case will go down in history as one of the great murder trials in Cook County where a Colored lawyer won on his merits. Attorney Anderson has handled some notable murder and attempted murder cases, among which are the McGregar case which Attorney Anderson also won on the plea of self defense. This case is remarkable because young McGregar of Evanston, had slashed a White man horribly. The state showed where the knife had cut into the coat in ten or twelve different places. A White jury, after Attorney Anderson had finished his able argument in the case, returned a verdict of not guilty. The Capt. Streeter murder case, the Banker Spalding embezzlement case were also successfully handled by Attorney Anderson. Note: Attorney Anderson wishes to publicly thank Judge McDonald, the democratic judge who tried Woodson, for his fairness and impartiality. [Name] The president and founder, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett feels that the need of the work is now greater than ever and hopes to accomplish much since the League in its new location is in the more thickly populated section of the black belt. Two million trees will be planted on the national forests in Utah, Nevada and southern Idaho during 1914. Makers of small hickory handles for hammers, chisels, and the like, are now trying to use the waste from mills which make hickory spokes and pick and ax handles. There is much waste in getting out the flawless white oak necessary for tight barrel staves. The forest service is trying to get manufacturers of parquetry flooring to use some of this waste. The U. S. consul at Aberdeen, Scotland, thinks that American manufacturers may have a chance to compete in furnishing staves for fish barrels. There has been a recent rise in the price of spruce and fir staves from Sweden and Scotland. Four new state forests have recently been added to those in Hawaii, making 27 in all, with an aggregate of 683,101 acres. Of this amount, 67 per cent belongs to the territory, the rest being private land administered by the territorial forest officers. FOREST NOTES THE EVENING OF THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE AT EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, AND OTHER SOCIAL ITEMS. Rt. Rev. B. F. Bishop, B. F. Sec. The Conference of the A. M. E. Church opened at Evanston, Ill., Wednesday evening. Fully five hundred colored folks were present. Rev. H. W. D. Cook of Quinn Chapel responded to the Mayor's address. Rev. Cook said, "The church does not claim to take an important part in the political world—yet goes to make up good citizenship. He spoke also of the motto on our well-known Negro newspaper, "God our Father, Christ our Redeemer, Man our Brother." A man's a man, regardless to nationality. Fifty years have gone by and God has thrown away the shackles, and under God we are going to stand out. [Great applause of fully 3 minutes.] In closing Rev. Cook humorously said: "Variety is the spice of life." Plain white would not appeal to the ethical taste, so God has painted the picture as you see it to-night, every color and shades in our people from the lily-white to the darker hues. We are all here in our own tone of color. [Applause.] Rev. Cook's talk was well accepted and these are a few sketches from his address. Prof. W. W. Fisher followed in address Rev. Fost of the M. E. Church of Evanston. Rev. Jones of St. Paul gave an excellent address. Dr. Garnett read an appeal for a Y. M. C. A. for the Colored boys of Evanston. He said there were 650 men and boys in Evanston and fully 225 negros owning and buying their homes. The address was good and well accepted by the mass of people present. They all realize the truth in the existing condition, unless our boys have better influences, a place to go and a higher expectation in life. Dr. Garnett is a leader, and silently the mass of people who listened to his appeal have selected him to push the project through. Rev. Wilson, of St. John's, Englewood, responded to Rev. Fost's address. Rev. Wilson is an orator well known, and his talk was spicy, well received. Rt. Rev. Bishop Lee presided over the Conference, our beloved presiding elder Timothy Reeves had charge of the program, presiding elder Edward Jackson erad a paper on the Church history. It was interesting and well accepted. At this first session the music was not up to the standard. Mr. Walter Gossete, the well-known organist, and rated as the first in line as a master musician, along with our own Alfonso Johnson, had little chance for showing, but will be heard during the sessions. Solo: "Thy Will Be Done." Male voice. Bishop Lee and daughter are the house guests of Rev. and Mrs. I. N. Daniels. Mr. George Jones is the house guest of Mr. Walter Gossete this week. Mr. Edward Atkinson attended the Conference at Evanston Wednesday. Mr. Garfield, of Denver, Col., is visiting Mr. Edward Atkinson.

Watkins, 3332 Calumet avenue, returned home Monday morning from their month vacation trip throughout the east. Mr. Watkins, at the grand session of the Knights of Pythias, held at Baltimore, Md., lately was again re-elected Supreme Attorney of that order throughout the world.

The only reason there is not a duty on limburger cheese is that so many of the customs houses are already in bad odor. A German aviator reports that he ran his machine into a shower of meteors. There are rocky roads, even in the sky lanes. A woman's organization in Cincinnati has declared against slit trousers for men. This is not sarcasm; it is just plain retaliation. These X ray skirts and X ray shoes of which the fashion pages tell may be fine for summer, but how about winter's chilly winds? It is no surprise to learn that Americans are the greatest consumers of sugar in the world; we use a great deal of it in our politics. There can no longer be any doubt that John Armstrong Chaloner is sane. He has announced that never again will be live in New York. The French war office is training eagles to attack possible enemies in aeroplanes. German aviators will now take lessons in swatting eagles. Secretary of the Navy Daniels predicts that "airships will become an important arm of the navy." Mixed metaphor—he meant wing no doubt. The Calcutta prisoner, who picked the pockets of his police captors and then left them on a moving train, forgot something. He might have taken the train and the policemen too. All the diggers who are upturning cities thousands of years old report finding records of complaints of the higher cost of living. It began with the beginning and will continue to the end. Five-sixths of a jury may hereafter bring a verdict in a civil case in Minnesota. The one reasonable juror and the eleven obstinate ones can no longer hang up decisions there. It is worth trying in other states. Professor Shepard of the University of Chicago knocks "America" as a representative national song, because there are no "rocks and rills" to love around Chicago. Why not make it "frocks and rills" then? Now it is announced that Eve was made not from a rib but from the backbone of Adam. Now that rights and privileges are gone even traditions of former glory are being wrested from the downrodden sex. Sixty mansions in Boston's Back Bay district are in the market at "bargain prices," because of hard times and the growing influence of the automobile. If the devil wagon is depopulating Beacon street it is realizing the worst fears that its coming occasioned. The death of the last of the John Brown captors having been followed by the passing of the last of the Lincoln bodyguard, it's hard to tell whether the next turn belongs to the last of George Washington's slaves or the last of the Trenton girls who kissed Lafayette. C. G..ALLEN’S AMBITION. Rise of an Energetic Newspaper Core respondent In New York. New York.—Cleveland G. *Allen of this city is one of the most energetic newspaper correspondents of the race and is rapidly coming to the fore in the field of Journalism. He ‘has cov- ered some notable gatherings both for the daily and weekly newspapers of this country and Canada. He was the only newspaper man of the race pres- ent at the great ecumenical Methodist conference, beld"in the beautiful city of Toronto in 1911. ‘At Toronto Mr. Allen represented the interest of the fifty Afro-American del- egates to that conference, represent- ing the various branches of the Meth- dist church among them. He has covered the conferences of Bishops G. W. Clinton and Alexander Walters of the Zion church. Bishop ‘Valters has given him much encouragement in bis work, and his first trip was with Bish- op Walters, Mr. Allen has reported the doings of the race for the daily pa- pers of Atlantic City, Buffalo, Yon- kers, Patterson, N. J., and New York. ‘While in Buffalo he wrote for the daily papers of that city a special fea- 6 ad << eg ant 2 ee RSs ture article om the life and career of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, one of the most noble women of the race. Recently Mr. Allen came into national promi- nence for his investigation into the discrimination of the United States navy against colored men. In his in- ‘vestigation he brought out that the col- ored sailors were enlisted in the navy only as mess attendants, were never promoted above that rank and were barred from the reading rooms of the ships. His investigation disclosed how col- ered men were forced to work longer hours than the whites, were required to report an bour earlier when off shore leave, had to stand while eating meals and that life was unbearable for them while aboard ship. Mr. Allen got these startling conditions before the secretary of the navy. who made an inquiry into these conditions and prom- fsed to remedy them. ‘The daily papers all over the country took notice of Mr. Allen's charges, and mans of them commented editorially on the investigation, He is continuing his investization and promises to re- veal some further startling facts. Mr. Allen has received praise from the leading men and women of the race for revealing these revolting condi- tious, Several months ago he got-into controversy with a leading New York dally because he attacked the present administration's attitude on the race question. Heé is well known in New York, where he is active in Y. M. C. A. and church work. He is a member of St Mark's M. E. church, Mr, Allen Was born in Greenville, 8. C., of free Parents and was educated in the pub- lic schools of his native town. He continued his studies at the De Witt Clinton-high school and the City col- lege here. Mr. Allen will enter the school of journalism of Columbia uni- versity this fall in further preparation for his career as a newspaper man. ‘The De Freee-Patterson Elopement.

Although this young educator found the plant in a much run down condi tion after the death of his distinguish- 4 predecessor he has been able to add many facilities and improvements, to erect four buildings in four years and to reestablish the institution on much of its former basis Fifteen young people received diplo- mas from the normal or academic de- Partment and eighteen from,the vari- ous trade divisions. All of the gradu- ating exercises centered in a discus- sion of the rural school, each speaker from the salutatorian to the valedic- torian’taking part in the symposium of the subject. Increased interest in rural school edu- cation for Negroes was helghtened by the fact that every subject was illus- trated by actual demonstration. “Plans For the Rural School” was the subject of the salutators presented by Joseph W. Falls, who exhibited a model school- house containing a cooking room, & sewing room and two cloak rooms. Three other graduates. William Fen- noy, James IH. [erbert and James H.

Gavin, pastor of the First Baptist church (white) of Huntsville, spoke to the graduates and emphasized the im- portance of loralty to self, to others and to their religious creeds. “No mat- ter what your life’s calling may be,” sald Dr. Gavin, “make up your mind that you are going to grasp every op portunity that comes your way.” He commented upon the advantages of the kind of education given in a school like Normal, where young peo ple are not only edueated, but trained, ind declared ainong other things: “The plan of the work proposed in this school is ideal. It is not possible to yverestimate the value of an instita- fon like this.” ‘The nurse training department of the ehool offers superior advantages to young women.
