SWANN AND HIGHLY MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL AMERICAN RACE RESIDING IN The Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D.D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann just prior to their selection to their respective positions on the Illinois State Commission, boldly held out the idea to Governor Edward F. Dunne, who is unable to distinguish the slightest difference between grand political rascals or blood-sucking leeches and honest and respectable Colored men and women, that they could handle or control all the most prominent Colored men in this country and that owing to their strong pull with them, that they would not have the least trouble in crushing out or down all the opposition that the writer and his followers could hurl at them; that they were nothing more than so many dogs yelping or snapping at their heels; that with all of their power and influence that they would have all the Colored conventions to converse in Chicago in 1915, including the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. So with all the political power of Governor Dunne and Mayor Carter H. Harrison at their dishonest backs they started out to skin us alive in that respect, but they had utterly failed to take into consideration the uniliputed fact that sometimes at least the pen is mightier or more powerful than the sword. They never dreamed for one minute that for some years that The Broad Ax had been plowing its way into the homes of many of the most prominent Knights of Pythias in this country; that the Hon. S. W. Green, Supreme or Grand Chancellor of the K. P.'s throughout the world, Gen. J. T. T. Warren of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the chief high priest of the order in that state, Hon. Ernest C. Tidington, the successful banker of Indianapolis, Ind., and many other shining lights of the order are at the present time and have been for a long time regular subscribers to The Broad Ax. That long before the supreme lodge met in Baltimore, Md., in August they HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY had been reading and familiarizing themselves with the unsavory and reprehensible conduct on the part of the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D.D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, and gwing to these facts were they in favor of permitting Messrs. Carey and Swann to cover themselves over with undying glory and honor at the expense of the K. P.'s. Mayor Carter H. Harrison who against our solemn protest appointed a Colored man who was a self-confessed gambler to a responsible position in the city hall and later on he was forced to discharge or remove him from office, joined in with the city council of this city which passed a resolution in favor of inviting the supreme lodge to meet in this city. The Chicago Association of Commerce followed suit and it was also aided by the Association of Commerce of Baltimore, Md., in the unsuccessful attempt to induce the head officers of the order to convene in Chicago. Messrs. Carey and Swann entertained one false idea that they had succeeded in putting one over on us when Wednesday, July 30, 1913, Mayor Harrison appointed Aldermen Harding, Gazzolo, Carr, Pitte, Schaeffer, Rev. E. J. Fisher, Hon. Oscar DePriest, Mr. A. H. Roberts, Majors Robert R. Jackson and John C. Buckner as a committee to use their united influence to have the K. P.'s to hold their sessions in this city, but to no avail, and their labors were in vain. It is true that Majors Buckner and Jackson both traveled to Baltimore and worked very gallantly to accomplish that object, but they were not in the running and they and all the invitations from the city officials of Chicago and from Governor Edward F. Dunne which were not even read before any of the sessions of the supreme lodge and they were turned down cold. It is estimated that between 3,500 and 4,000 K. P.'s always attend the meetings of the supreme lodge, that CHICAGO, NOVEMBER. 22 1913 JOHN H. HARRIS they generally hold together for four or five days. It is fair to assume that if the K. P.'s would have invaded Chicago in 1915 instead of holding forth in Columbus, Ohio, that they would have expended not less than one hundred thousand dollars among the business men in this city. That vast sum of money was lost to this city simply because Governor Dunne was so dull or stupid and we might say short-sighted that even after he had been requested not to do so by some of his best Colored friends and warm supporters, he would persist like a strong headed blind man in selecting Messrs. Carey and Swann as the head or the highly moral and intellectual leaders of the Afro-American race residing in Illinois. All that we have to say at this time is simply this, and that is, if Governor Dunne continues to be well pleased with his two warm pals, Messrs. Carey and Swann, he is heartily welcome to them! Cardinal Farley in a letter to Mr. Frank H. Mann, secretary of the New York City Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis is even more emphatic in his support of the Tuberculosis Day campaign. He has spoken to the elergy under his supervision about assisting in this movement and has directed that the work be promoted in all the parochial schools. In his letter to Mr. Mann, the Cardinal says: "Your work must commend itself to every human soul as it aims to free from an evil that has blighted many a family and to destroy a source of contagion that knows no barrier. "It did not take more than twenty years in the past to make small-pox, which had countless victims in its day, almost an unknown terror. This was accomplished through local sanitary efforts and we may expect, if your organization can prevail upon all to use personal sanitary efforts, to see the White Plague banished from our CARDINALS GIBBONS AND FARLEY ENDORSE TUBERECULOSIS DAY. Highest Roman Catholic Church Officials Urge Clergy to Help in Nation-Wide Movement. Both Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal Farley have endorsed the movement for the observance of the Fourth National Tuberculosis Day on December 7th, according to an announcement made to-day by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Cardinal Gibbons, who has for a long time taken an active interest in the anti-tuberculosis fight in Maryland, writes to Mr. H. Wirt Steele, secretary of the Maryland Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis, wishing him success in the Tuberculosis Day movement, and expressing his interest and appreciation. Among other things he says: "My wonder has been aroused by the simplicity of the arms used in this warfare—namely—rational living and cleanliness—which are within the reach of all. "I shall follow with special interest all your efforts in this splendid propaganda against the terrible disease, and hope the results of your labor will be commensurate with the zeal, the energy, and self-sacrifice which you and your fellow-workers are devoting to the work. "I can remember well the ravages made by yellow fever in days gone by, but rejoice to see that the medical fraternity have conquered it. "I trust that you will be equally successful against tuberculosis." Cardinal Farley in a letter to Mr. Frank H. Mann, secretary of the New York City Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis is even more emphatic in his support of the Tuberculosis Day campaign. He has spoken to the elergy under his supervision about assisting in this movement and has directed that the work be promoted in all the parochial schools. In his letter to Mr. Mann, the Cardinal says: "Your work must commend itself to every human soul as it aims to free from an evil that has blighted many a family and to destroy a source of contagion that knows no barrier. "It did not take more than twenty years in the past to make small-pox, which had countless victims in its day, almost an unknown terror. This was accomplished through local sanitary efforts and we may expect, if your organization can prevail upon all to use personal sanitary efforts, to see the White Plague banished from our midst in the not distant future. "The campaign of education and regulation must continue until all shall know their duty and have the determination to push forward all preventive effort against its breeding places, so that neither occupation, residence or personal habit shall give occasion to its development."

Some day in the not far distant future a death from typhoid, the king of filth diseases, will invoke a resolu: tion from the mourning friends of the deceased, which will read something like this: 2 “Whereas, Through the criminal neglect, carelessness and incompe- tency of our city officials, our water supply was permitted to be polluted with sewage and other dangerous filth, to the extent of making it unsafe to use; and ia «* Whereas, As a result of such crim- imal carelessness, neglect and incom- peteney of our city, our beloved friend and fellow townsman, John Smith, was killed with typhoid fever; therefore be it Soe “‘Resolved, That we condemn’ the lack of care and vigilance shown by those whose business it is to safegpard the public health and whose negligence and disregard of their official duties have caused the death of our friend and brought sorrow to his family; and, be it further “‘Resolved, That we earnestly urge upon the public prosecutor that he take immediate steps to bring before the bar of justice the men who in their oficial capacities are responsible for the death of our friend and for the presence of a dangerous and loath- some disease in our city.’ eee In the light of sanitary science we are becoming less and less inclined to Place the blame on Providence for the sickness and suffering that are due tc our ignorance or carelessness or both. God's agencies, if left to work unmo- lested, make the waters of our lakes and givers pure. Men defile and pol lute them. So, when an epidemic of typhoid breaks out in » community and is traced to a polluted water sup ply, the resulting sickness and loss of human lives shotld not be charged against an All Wise and merciful Providence, but rather to an ignorant, unenlightened and careless community eee ‘There is a good deal of talk now-s “days about good team work; this means the kind of work that is @one when people combine together to do some very definite thing, or to accom- Plish some very definite purpose. This idea of team work is excellent. There is no reason either why it should not be used in carrying forward those movements that are intended to im prove community conditions.

What is the exact line of demarka tion between man and the othef ani- mals which he calls brutes? In what way does he essentially differ from the beasts? It is, we are told, by his in- telligence, by the faculties of his mind, by his reason, that man is superior to all the other animals, which in all they do, act but by physical impul- sions, reason taking no part. But the beasts, having more limited needs than men, do very well without these intel- lectual faculties, which would be per feetly useless in their way of living. Their instinet is sufficient for them, while all the faculties of man are hardly sufficient to render his exist- ence endurable, and to satisfy the needs which his imagination, his preju- dices, and his institutions multiply to his torment. The brute is not affected by the same objects as man; it bas neither the same needs, nor the same desires, nor the same whims; it early reaches maturity, while uothing is more rare than to see the human being enjoying all of his faculties, exercising them freely, and making a proper use of them for his ows happiness.—Ex-Priest Meslier in the People’s Press, Chicago, November 15, 1913.

Jackson Boulevard. —_Preparations were made for one hundred diners, but tke death on Tuesday of Mrs. Ida Lewis, a well-known West Side club sot prevented a large contingent from that section of the city attend- ing. Members of the club, prominent suf- fragist leaders, friends of the move- ment and a few gentlemen, numbering nearly sixty, of both races, sat down to the exceptionally good menu. The spacious club room was brilliant with light, its cozy arrangement bespoke welcome and if any one had previously thought of that bugaboo, formality, it was laid aside at the door—for it was a large, happy family that enjoyed that dinner. The only attempt at dee- oration was displayed on the tables which were set star shape and adorned ‘with vases of cut flowers. ‘Women Learn the Art of Voting. The Warly arrivals listened to a pleasing musical program, partici- pated in by two soloists. Mrs. Xenia Jenkins and Mrs. Madie E. Mead. Mrs. C. H. Miller was the accompanist. Mr. Harry Joyce contributed a piccolo number. Following, the ladies be- came enthused over instruetions in the art of voting. A voting machine oc- cupied one corner of the room and its intricate operation was demonstrated by Miss Nina T. Curtis, assistant to County Judge Owens. his practical feature pleased the ladies, many wishing that the next day was elec- tion. Miss Curtis also explained the election laws, emphasizing the impor- tance of the primary elections. Mrs. Barnett Presides. ‘The after dinner program of speak" ing and mpsic was impromptu. Mrs. Ida B, Wells-Barnett, president of the club, presided. She made a short ad- dress in which she told of the two oc- casions, the dinner celebration, the first year’s anniversary of the club and the fiftieth anniversary of Abraham Lin- coln’s Gettysburg speech. ‘‘The club happily selected this day for its cele- bration and the world, knows how dearly we love to commemorate any event with which Lincoln had to do,”? said the. speaker. The Progressive Clubs was given praise for its generos- ity im the use of its quarters, the ar- rangement of the dinner and its con- tinued co-operation in the work of the club, ‘Mrs. Owens was to have made the principal address but was compelled to leave in order to fill another engage- ment. Mrs. L. 8. Bishop was the speaker introduced. Mrs. Bishop is promigent as a suffragist and she spoke eloquently along those lines. The other speakers were Mrs. Gilling, viee- president of the club, ex-Congressman John R. Lynch and Mr. Thomas G. Knight, president of the Progressive lub, Posts In Their Own Verse. “<The addresses were interspersed with singing and recitations, two of, Chieago’s young people being heard in their own compositions. The first was a) poem ‘My Mother’? by Mr. Fenton Johnson, author of ‘A Little Dream- ing’? and Miss Bettiola Fortson, in a beautiful appeal for. fairness, entitled ‘«Brothers”’, Miss Hortensia Gordon of Boston, played during this number. Mrs. K. G. Bills, editor of the Alpha Clubs Weekly, read an interesting pa- per on current events. Great applause was bestowed upon Miss Maude J. Roberts after her solo, accompanied by Miss May Strayhorn, and the program ‘elosed by the reading of Lincoln's fa ‘mous speech by Miss Viola Hill, Noticed among those present were ‘Mrs. Bessie Nance, Mrs. MeDoweil ‘Mrs. David Lawrence, Mrs. William ‘MeKinley, Mrs. L. 8.

Its object is to study political and civie ques tions for themselves, and they are making a strong effort to inter- est every Afro-American woman in the city. Last March they sent ‘Mrs. Barnett to Washington, D. c., to represent them in the suffrage parade, and is the only elub to hold a suffrage mecting in the Bridewell, since ‘lub also took part in the automobile the ballot was granted to the women of Illinois. ‘Thirty-five members of the |euffrage parade in Jaly.

It is a pity that Aida Overton Walk- et’s Chicago aggregation could not move on. Had the organization been a permanent one it would have been to satisfactory receipts everywhere. But Chieago is proud of its support and hopes that other cities will see the wisdom of presenting this peerless artist under their own auspices. AIDA OVERTON WALKER OFF FOR NEW YORK. World Famed Soubrette Returns to ‘Her Home Well Pleased With the Patronage Chicago Gave to Her Last Engagement. Aida Overton Walker, world famed soubrette, who delightfully entertained crowded houses at a special two weeks engagement at the Pekin Theater, left Chieago for her home in New York City, Tuesday afternoon. She was ac- companied by her maid Miss Johnson. The members of her company who re- side in New York had gone before, while several remained here. ‘Mrs. Walker was delighted with the warm welcome and generous patronage given her in Chicago. ‘I am always happy and my work is always appre- ciated in Chiecago,’’ said she with 2 smile, ‘Mr. Henry Jones is to be con- gratulated on his farsightedness in gratulated on his farsightedness in ar- ranging and promoting this affair, and ‘The Broad Ax is a wide-awake news- paper.

A Chapter on the Unwritten Law of the Road with a Moral to it—Every- body’s Road. Every man has his’ right on the highway. So long as he observes the rules of the road he may go faster or slower, on foot or horseback, bicycle or auto or on horse-wagon. He has his Tight—the common right to use the road. ‘That’s a thing to remember. Some of us along the common road which runs from one mystery to the other act like joy riders and scorchers. We try to own the road. We fail to ree ognize the common right to go on foot, or on horseback or by touring ear or in one horse fashion. Some- times we act as though some people ought not to be given gangway, bot crowded out of the road to struggle cross lots as they may. pertBreaaat "Sound aoceiy The National Negro Semi-Centennial Exposition Association Will give a reception and eet ball at the worth Avenve, Thastejving ivening, ‘There wo! venue, iving Evening, Thurs- day, November 27th.
