PATRICK HAVE FAILED IN THE PAST TDAY IF THEY DESIRE TO VOTES TUESDAY, APRIL 7. Every day last week the head followers of Col. William Randolph Cowan and up until Monday evening of this week spent all of their time in a vain effort to find and induce some prominent and wealthy Afro-American to make the race for Alderman in the Second Ward. They madly rushed from place to place while endeavoring to find a suitable candidate, one who was willing to spend from three to five thousand dollars with the boys, and to assist some few men who entertain the idea that aside from them no one else has any moral right to exist any place on the face of this broad earth. The distinguished gentlemen seeking a Colored aldermanic candidate were forced to press on and on until last Friday evening, at which time they held a meeting in Charles S. Jackson's dead rooms, 3249 S. State street, and at that memorable meeting an effort was made to pass the aldermanic buck or crown up or on to the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., but thrice he gently waved or brushed the golden crown aside, all the time blushing and exclaiming that it would be utterly impossible for him to decide such a weighty and important matter in so short a time—that he must be permitted to pray and think it all over first. So the time for him to give a decided answer as to what he proposed to do was extended until Monday evening. On Sunday morning he announced it from his pulpit in the Institutional Church, that many delegations of prominent citizens had been calling on him and urging him to run for Alderman; that many of his friends had called him up on the 'phone, requesting him to do so, that "he wanted the prayers of all of the members of his church and those who were not members to enable him to be guided rightly in the matter; that he did not want to do anything that would be displeasing to his Lord; that between that time and Monday evening he would hold a long, silent communication with his political Lord before he finally decided just what to do about it." For some cause or ether it seems that his political Lord would not stand or fall for his candidacy for alderman of the Second Ward, and at the meeting at Jackson's dead rooms he passed the buck or aldermanic crown on up to HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Charles A. Griffin, who was selected by the Wm. R. Cowan faction to make the race against Alderman Hugh Norris. Some of the boys and politicians were laying low and just waiting to pick or trim the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., good and clean or to such an extent that it would require more than a barrel of whitewash to regalvanize him and re-transform him into a purified, bright shining angel. It is claimed that the Democrats will finance the campaign for Mr. Griffin, as he has no money himself to blow in on politics, in a desperate effort to land Thomas Hoyne, the Democratic candidate for alderman, in the city council. It is further maintained that in case the plan or the scheme works out alright and Thomas Hoyne is elected to the city council that his brother, the Hon. Maclay Hoyne, the present State's Attorney, will kill off the three indictments which have been hanging over the dishonest head of the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, secretary of the Illinois State Commission, in the criminal court of Cook county for more than three years. Time alone will tell just how the political cat will jump in the final round up in the hot and fierce aldermanic contest in the Second Ward. This coming Tuesday, March 17th (St. Patrick's), all the fair ladies who have failed for any reason in the past to register, must do so on that day if they desire to vote at the aldermanic election. Tuesday, April 7th. AFBO-AMERICANS TO EXHIBIT AT THE PANAMA EXPOSITION IN 1915. The United States Government, will more than likely appropriate $35,000, to show the progress made by the American Negro, along material and intellectual lines, for the past 50 years at the Panama Pacific International Exposition, to be held at San Francisco, Cal., in 1915. United States Senator, James O'Gorman, of New York, is urging the appropriation, in behalf of the Colored end of the Exposition. DR. DANIEL H.

CARE OF CONTAGION Diphtheria—III. The one great purpose of quarantine in all cases of contagious disease is protection for the well. It is fully understood that all persons who come in contact with a diphtheria patient must not mingle with the other members of the family, nor with the outside public. This rule applies alike, of course, to the nurse or attendant and to the members of the family that nurse the patient, should a trained nurse not be employed. This is why on his first visit the health officer will take a culture of all such members of the family if the attending doctor has not already done so, and only those found to be free from infection of any kind will be allowed to leave the house while the case is running except under conditions noted later in this article. In all cases of diphtheria the contagion continues, or is present until a laboratory examination of cultures taken shows that there are no diphtheria germs present. This means that the quarantine period will run from two to four weeks and in some cases even longer. During this period the quarantine officer will call from time to time to see that the requirements for safety are complied with. During the time a house is under quarantine the school children in the family are not permitted to attend school unless they room and board away from home, and they must be examined and found to be free from germs of the disease before they can leave their homes to live elsewhere. In all cases where the patient and trained attendants can be isolated in one or more rooms and where they can be supplied with food and other necessities without being obliged to leave the room or rooms under quarantine; and if no article or utensils be permitted to be taken from the room unless it has been thoroughly disinfected, the other members may be permitted to go and come as they like. Of course, before this privilege is granted, well members of the family must have been examined and found free from infection of any kind. In no case either can the children be allowed to attend school or go to places of public assembly. The nurse or attendant must not leave the rooms under quarantine without first thoroughly washing face and hands and removing the outer robe, gown or garment, worn in the sick room. They will also be allowed to leave the house for air and exercise, not to exceed one hour each day, provided that on examination, cultures from their throats, to be taken by the attending physician every fourth day, show negative, and provided they wash their face and hands, change their outer clothing, and if possible, leave and enter the house by a door not used by other members of the family. While out for air and exercise the attendant must not enter places of business, use public conveyances nor visit any place of public assembly. In cases where a trained nurse or attendant cannot be had, but where the patient and the member attending the same can be isolated from the well members of the family, practically the same rules apply, except that the one attendant upon the patient must under no circumstances leave the house except by special permission of the Department of Health. The rules and regulations given in this and the two preceding articles cover the essential things that you should know and do should you have a case of diphtheria in your home. And remember that if these restrictions seem to be hard and severe, they are not imposed to work any undue hardship on any one, but simply for the purpose of preventing the spread of the disease to other members of your own family and to the families of your neighbors and friends in the community where you live. WHERE WOMEN CAN VOTE Women may vote for President in Illinois, California, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, School suffrage for women prevails in some form in 24 states which do not grant full suffrage, as follows: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Ohio, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and Wisconsin. Women vote in a few states for library trustees and on questions of taxation. In Great Britain women can vote for all officers except members of Parliament. The Extension of woman suffrage to Parliamentary elections was defeated in 1911 in the House of Commons by a vote of 266 to 219. In Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand women have full suffrage; also in the Isle of Man, Iceland, Norway and Finland. Women have municipal suffrage in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Quebec, British Columbia and the Northwest Territory, in Denmark and Sweden. Women engaged in commerce have the right to vote for judges of the Tribunal of Commerce. The French Chamber rejected in 1918 Congressman Martin B. Madden Will Fight to the Bitter Endina Manly Way the Segregation Measures. WHICH ARE NOW PENDING IN THE LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS THERE IS NO NECESSITY WHATEVER FOR SUCH VICIOUS LEGISLATION. CONGRESSMAN EDWARDS FROM THE BACKWOODS OF GEORGIA WHO HAS NO MORE HORSE SENSE THAN AN UNEDUCATED MONKEY IS THE FATHER OF ONE OF THE MEASURES. On February 23, Congressman Edwards, who hails from the back woods of Georgia, introduced the following bill in the House of Representatives, which is intended, providing if it becomes a law, to separate or to segregate all government employees of the White race, from those of African blood or descent and Congressman Martin B. Madden, will fight in a manly way against the enactment of this unjust, un-American un-Demoocratic and un-called-for measure into law. A BILL TO SEGREGATE GOVERN- MENT EMPLOYEES OF THE WHITE RACE FROM THOSE OF AFRICAN BLOOD OR DESGENT Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the heads of all executive departments shall issue all orders that may be necessary to secure in all branches of the service of the United States the segregation of Government employees of the White race from those of African blood or descent in the performance of their services. Sec. 2. That White clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same offices or workrooms with clerks or employees of African blood or descent; nor shall any White clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction, or supervision of any person of African blood or descent. Sec. 3. That in the Railway Mail Service of the Post Office Department White clerks shall not be ordered to duty in the same mail car with postal clerks of African blood or descent. It seems that the great majority of the Southern representatives, in congress, have not as much real common woman suffrage by a vote of 311 to 133. Women have some voting privileges in Cape Colony. JUDGE MARCUS KAVANAGH AND ATTORNEY PATRICK H. O'DONNELL SPOKE AT BETHEL CHURCH SUNDAY AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF SENATOR SHERMAN. Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman, United States Senator from Illinois, was unable to arrive in this city from Washington, D. C., on Sunday afternoon, in time to speak at Bethel church, and Judge Marcus Kavanagh and Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell eloquently spoke in his stead. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and they were heartily applauded by the vast audience, every time they scored a point in favor of equal opportunities for the Colored people in all things. Mr. A. H. Roberts ably presided and introduced the distinguished speakers. Miss Fannie Wise delightfully sang several solos. No.25 In Martin B.

The very minute that they strike the national capitol they have no higher ambition than to hatch up some kind of vicious legislation, to strike at the civil and political rights of the Negro under the guise, that he must be prevented from seeking social equality with the Whites. Seemingly the Southern representatives, lose sight of the fact, that for many years in the past, and at the present time; White gentlemen in that section of the country have always sought social equality with Colored women; that ninety per cent. of all the bastard children born to Negro women in the South, are the offspring of White gentlemen, that many of the most distinguished and eminent White gentlemen throughout the Southland, are living in a state of open and notorious adultery, with some of the worst and most repulsive types of Colored women that can be found in ten days travel nevertheless, or notwithstanding these facts, it is this class of Southern White gentlemen, who are continually engaged in an effort to hamstring or handicap the Colored man in every way and at all times the Negro question is uppermost in their shallow minds and narrow constructed, rattle-brained pates. The tariff question, the financial, the Japanese, the Mexican and all other great and far reaching questions, are nothing to them in comparison to their ever present so-called Negro question. The Southern Statesmen or congressmen, owing to the past rotten, social conditions in their section of the country, should be the last persons in the world to attempt to separate the so-called White race from those of African blood or descent.

Cleveland, Illinois, under Act of March 2, 1878. MANY AFBO-AMERICAN LADIES OF THE THIRTY-FIFTH PRECINCT OF THE SECOND WARD HAVE FORMED AN AUXILIARY CLUB TO ASSIST IN RE-ELECTING ALDERMAN HUGH NOBRIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL. Tuesday evening, March 10, many ladies residing in the Thirty-fifth Precinct of the Second Ward, met at the home of Mrs. Robert A. Williams, 3544 S. Dearborn street, under the auspices of the Committeeman Mr. Thomas M. Grant was held the initial meeting of the ladies of that precinct, Captain Grant outlined the course that they should follow as Republicans, after which Mrs. Williams set out the reasons for the call, whereupon organization was entered into by the selection of Mrs. M. T. Mitchell as permanent Chairman, with Mrs. Mary Granger as permanent Secretary. There were present the following ladies: Mrs. Sarah Allison of No. 50 West 36th St.; Mrs. Josephine Davis, 3508 Dearborn St.; Mrs. B. E. Singleton, 3508 Dearborn St.; Mrs. Charlotte Shaw, 3523 Dearborn St.; Mrs. T. M. Grant, 3538 Dearborn St.; Mrs. M. T. Mitchell, 3540 Dearborn St; Miss E. B. Slaughter; Mrs. R. A. Williams, 3544 Dearborn St.; Mrs. Mary E. Granger, 3522 Dearborn St. Mrs. T. M. Mitchell was duly selected as the permanent presiding officer, and Mrs. Mary E. Granger as the permanent Secretary. Miss E. B. Slaughter offered the following resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote: WHEREAS, In that through organization comes to all classes of Citizens that which they fail to secure through independence of action, and since the Second Ward organization has presented the name of Hon. Hugh Norris as being a fit person to succeed himself in the City Council, THEREFORE be it resolved that this Auxiliary club join hands with the main body, and cast our lot with theirs in the endorsement of Mr. Norris for the place he has so honestly and signally filled for the past two years, believing that he possesses the sterling worth, honesty of purpose, and all those qualities which warrant us in using all our influence in re-electing him to the City Council. The President, Mrs. Mitchell, then presented the following list of ladies names, with the request that they be added to the list of members: Mrs. Allison, Mrs. Mary Williams, Mrs. Anna Jones, Mrs. Lillie Henderson, Mrs. Carrie Fagan, Mrs. Susie Anderson, Mrs. Jessie Cogill, Mrs. Jessie Mason, Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Head, and Mrs. Smith, all of whom she vouched for in that they would become active, earnest workers on behalf of the organization. Her report was accepted, after which a desultory chat was indulged in, and the meeting adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs. Lillie Grant, No. 3538 Dearborn Street. MRS. M. F. MITCHELL, President. MRS. MARY E. GRANGER, Secretary. STRENGTH OF MISSOURI NEGROES According to the report given out, Missouri can put into the field an army of 721,167 men between the ages of 18 and 40. Of this number 679,305 would be whites and 41,441 Negroes, as against 420 Japanese, Chinese, Indians and others. Notwithstanding this relative war strength of the Negro and his intense loyalty to the flag, he could not begin to get the consideration from the state of Missouri that the Chinese, Japanese, Indians and others secure. The voting strength of the Negroes of Missouri is 59,921, a gain of 6,508 in ten years. The full voting strength of Missouri, including all races, is 973,063. Many congratulations are coming in from all sides, and seemingly from every where. My old friends' and brother waiters, are much pleased with my return to the News paper field. The mission of The Broad Ax, is to awaken the sleeping Negro, to arouse the Indolent ones to inspire the honest ones, and to stop the frivolous and the deprived, from destroying those who might be saved. The Negro should not forget this all important truth; that "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." And this philosophy, "You can not change the principles of a reigning school in a day." And this, "The race is not given to the swift, neither to the strong; but to him that endure unto the end." Then since the race is no stronger than the individual characteristics, we should turn our attention to the training of our children, because the child is but the twig of the tree, if you scratch it, while it is tender or permit any one else to impede its growth, centuries to come will tell of it to our injury, remember that the children of today is the race of tomorrow, what a numerous responsibility. Mr. I. E. Franklin, Pres. of the Hyde Park Sunday Club, is to be congratulated upon the instructive meeting last Sunday at 4 P. M., at the Clotee T. Scott's settlement. Mrs. Knight spoke upon the subject of the "Negroes Guiding Angel." Dr. Lewis "Tooth Sanitations," and Dr. Larvardo on "Hygiene." The beautiful expression will redound to the good of the community, because so many of our young people were present. The fight is on, The fight is on, the contest is waging between the Community Settlement and the Clottee T. Scott's Settlement. One is desirous of putting the other out of business, who is at fault, they both can't be right, watch this column in the next issue we shall publish the truth about the matter, as far as we have been able to gather such information, as is necessary to write the story. The fight is on read The Broad Ax. The Hyde Park Municipal court, seem to be center of attraction this week, for two of our prominent attorneys were much in evidence, Mr. E. H. Wright and Mr. Hale G. Parker. How long may we ask, will the intelligent Negro or White man either for that matter, play hypocritically with the fundamental things that make for the best interest of the people, always taking advantage of the ignorance, in the attempt to advance their personality, and their right to leadership. How long, how long, may we ask how long? A unique Sunday school has been organized among the waiters of the Delprado Hotel by Mr. Perry, teacher of the bible department at the Hyde Park A. M. E. church, they have a membership of 14, members and use their own Sunday school literature. Mrs. Willie Webb left the city, with dispatch, for Union Town, Ala., to be at the bedside of a very sick sister. We hope the trip will be a pleasant one, instead of sorrow. Miss Marther Glover, has moved from 5141 Lake Park Ave. to 4727 Evans Ave. William Cobb of 5212 Lake Park Ave. is on the sick list, may he soon recover. Elmira Temple, 21 of Lady Elks, gave a social at the residence of Mrs. Cobbs, 5212 Lake Park Ave. Those who were present went away well pleased, the same was a financial success. A party was given, at the residence, 5218 Lake Park Ave. in honor of Miss Hattie Webb the 6th inst. Mrs. E. H. Brown, will visit her sister in Los Angeles, Cal., in the near future. Hannibal Washington, who has been ill for six weeks is better at this writing. The Logos Literary society put on a double header, Tuesday night, and a splendid audience greeted the speakers, Detective Sergt. Starks spoke on the subject, "The Power the Negro may have if he only would look to God for it. Mr. Mergerson, spoke of the trip to Brazil, and the progress of the Brazilian people." The ladies were served at the expense of the gentlemen, the club will visit the Clotee T. Scott's Settlement next Thursday. The Hyde Park Women's Charity Club was entertained by Mrs. Thomas Woodward's, 5485 Woodlawn Ave. The ladies voted a hearty response for the dainties received. How can they best help those who need their services most? Mr. Robert L. Piggett of 5537 Kimbark Ave., has for 16 years been employed in the North American department, of the Fields Museum and this kind of citizenship is worth something to any community. For years the care and foremanship of the Illinois Storage Company of Hyde Park has been the young aggressive worker, Mr. Chas, Hunter. Col. William Randolph Cowan, Late Aldermanic Candidate at the Primaries in the Second Ward BLEW IN SO IT IS SAID $600 BONES OR COLD DOLLARS OF HIS OWN MONEY THE WEALTHY MEMBERS OF HIS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE SCRAPED TOGETHER ABOUT $400 MAKING $1,000 WHICH WAS EXPENDED IN AN EFFORT TO PUT HIM OVER AT THE PRIMARIES. SOME OF THE GENTLEMEN WHO SUPPORTED MR. COWAN DOPED OR TOUTED COL. FRANK L. HAMILTON UP IN 1910 TO RUN AGAINST HON. EDWARD D. GREEN FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND WAS DEFEATED BY HIM AND THOSE SAME GENTLEMEN BELIEVED MR. HAMILTON OF $3,000 or $4,000. ONE OF THE COLORED EDITORS ATTEMPTED TO RUN IN UNDER ALDERMAN HUGH NORRIS FOR $500. AFTER THE COLORED EDITOR FAILED TO COME IN SIGHT OF THE $500 HE WHEELED IN LINE FOR COL. COWAN DECLARING IN GLARING HEAD LINES THAT "CHICAGO WOULD HAVE A COLORED COUNCILMAN AFTER APRIL 8, 1914." BUT THE COLORED EDITOR PROVED HIMSELF TO BE A FALSE PROPHET AND HE WAS TUMBLED INTO THE PIT OR DITCH ALONG WITH THOSE WHO ATTEMPTED TO ESTABLISH THE COLOR LINE IN THE ALDERMANIC CONTEST IN THE SECOND WARD. THE VOTES BY PRECINCTS IN THE SECOND WARD SHOWS THAT WELL ON TO 1,500 COLORED VOTES STOOD BY THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION IN THAT WARD. It goes without saying that Col. William Randolph Cowan, came mighty near making a home run in his race for Alderman of the Second ward, as it was he ran far beyond the second base and for a while it looked as though he would turn out to be a real live winner. It is said that Col. Cowan blew or chucked about $600 bones or cold dollars of his other money into the Jack-pot, that the wealthy members of his campaign committee hustled early and late and that they scraped together about $400 making all told $1,000 which was expended in an effort to put him over at the primaries. Many sober minded people are still firmly of the opinion that if Col. Cowan and his so-called wise and know all leaders and followers would have held meetings in all parts of the second ward and made their fight on the merits of their candidate and what he would do to improve and for the special benefit of that ward in case he was elected to the city council and refrained in every way from raising the Color line by contending that there is or were more Colored Republican voters than White Republican voters in the second ward and that all the Colored Republicans should vote for him, that they alone were strong or powerful enough to nominate and elect him that ill advised war cry or contention was the direct cause of preventing him from coming in under the wire way ahead of his strongest competitor. Some of the same gentlemen who supported Col. Cowan and made him believe that he would easily be the next alderman from the second ward, at the same time they were engaged in relieving him of his money as fast as they could and imparting to him a lot of unsound advice in the bargain, assisted to dope or tout Col. Frank L. Hamilton up in 1910, to run for the Legislature against the Hon. Edward D. Green, and who was more than two to one defeated by him and when the one sided contest was over between them, it seems that the touters and dopers had shook Mr. Hamilton down for $3,000 or $4,000; his socalled friends and supporters looked upon him as an easy mark and they picked or cleaned him to a dead stand still. The greatest joke of the late Aldermanic contest in the second ward, however, was this one of the Colored editors who claims that "if you see it in his paper it is so or true," but as a matter of fact its columns are generally full of faked news, attempted to run in under Alderman Hugh Norris, and separate him from five hundred dollars, which sum he wanted for supporting him through the columns of his newspaper, some one associated with Alderman Norris let him down real easy by gently whispering in his big ear, that there was nothing doing what he was thinking about. The Broad Ax was and would do Alderman Norris more good than all the other newspapers in Chicago, outside of the daily newspapers. The Colored editor in question after he had failed to get his hands on the five hundred dollars, so as to enable him to give someone the double cross, he started out to prove to Alderman Norris and his associates that his newspaper had and would exert more real influence than all the other newspapers in town, so he wheeled in line for Col. Cowan and in great head lines running clean across the front page, the Colored editor declared that "Chicago was to have a Colored Councilman in the person of Col. William Randolph Cowan, after April 8, 1914." But for some cause or other the Colored editor turned out to be a false prophet, notwithstanding the fact that he has the nerve and the brass to contend that if you read it in the columns of his newspaper it is so or true, so the Colored editor was tumbled into the pit or ditch along with the rest of the short sighted Colored men and women who permitted a few selfish Colored politicians, who are not, nor never have been interested in their present or future welfare, to use them in an effort to establish the "Color Line" in the Aldermanic contest in the second ward. The votes by precincts in the second ward, which follows and they show that well onto fifteen hundred Colored voters stood by the Republican organization in that ward.

Washington.—Congressman Edwards of Georgia, author of a bill which has for its purpose the complete separation of white and colored employees in the government service, also wants to abolish the present modus operandi of the civil service. He is said to have asserted on the floor of the house, while speaking in defense of his bill Feb. 24, that it was his desire to reorganize the civil service so that only white Democrats would be eligible to hold positions under the new system. "There are many of us in the house who would like to see the civil service abolished," said Mr. Edwards. "Then we could not only get rid of the Negroes in the service, but we could put Democrats in. It seems, however, that the friends of the civil service are in the majority, and we are unable to get it abolished. "My idea would be to abolish the present rotten system, and then rewrite another civil service statute after we had got Democrats and white people. In this way the Democrats would be covered under the new law and would hold on under it. It is politics, but our whole government system is one of politics and parties. "We can't keep the parties strong unless we give the positions to those who help win victories. If putting the Republicans and Negroes out of jobs is the attitude of a spollsman, then I am a spollsman to that extent, for I certainly have strong convictions along that line." The Edwards bill provides that the executive heads of the several departments shall issue orders segregating the white and Negro employees in every branch of the government service and that hereafter "white clerks shall not be required to occupy the same offices or workrooms with employees or clerks of African blood or descent, not shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction or supervision of any person of African blood or descent." The consumer does not approach with pleasure the scheme of adopting the hunger strike as an offset for the high price of eggs. The trouble is a whole lot of people think radium ought to raise a man from the dead, find him a wife and get him a $10,000 job. Several New York hotel proprietors have been fined for selling adulterated coffee. In New York they adulterate everything but the price. This would be a happier world if some of the vaudeville dancers would do their singing in pantomime, as they do in the moving pictures. Schoolteachers make the best wives in the world, says the Ohio school commissioner. Such diplomacy seems wasted in an appointive office. Between eugenics and "marriage mills" one continues to doubt whether one is a criminal to marry or a criminal to refrain from marrying. ‘PUBLISHED WEEKLY. promalgate oll times upheld Ss Se eee Seot ee a meee ae Soe aac ae a as: rates made known on appii- ae THE BROAD AX et] FEDERAL STREET, CHICAGO, ILL. veces paxza om pecans earcen make eas nama swig at oes hog Oso at Caleage, tbe MANY AFEO-AMERICAN LADIES OF THE THIRTY-FIFTH PRE.

The Negro should not forget this all important truth; that ‘‘ Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is reproach to any people.’? And this philosophy, “*You cam not change the principles of a reigning school in a day.’” And this, ‘The race is not given to the swift, neither to the strofig; but to him that endure unto the end.”? Then since the race is no stronger than the indi- vidual characteristics, we should turn our attention to the training of our children, because the ebild is but the twig of the tree, if you scratch it, while it is tender or permit any one else to impede its growth, centuries to come will tell of it to our injury, re- member that the children of today is the race of tomorrow, what a numerous responsibility. _ Mr. L E.

William Randolph Cowan, Late Alder- e © manic Candidate at the e e e Primaries in the Second Ward BLEW IN SO IT IS SAID $600 BONES OR COLD DOLLARS OF HIS OWN MONEY THE WEALTHY MEMBEES OF HIS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE SCRAPED TOGETHER ABOUT $400 MAKING $1,000 WHICH WAS EX- PENDED IN AN EFFORT TO PUT HIM OVER AT THE PRIMARIES. SOME OF THE GENTLEMEN WHO SUPPORTED MR. COWAN DOPED OR TOUTED COL. FRANK L. HAMILTON UP IN 1910 TO RUN AGAINST HON. EDWARD D. GREEN FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND WAS DE- PEATED BY HIM AND THOSE SAME GENTLEMEN RELIEVED MB. HAMILTON OF $3,000 or $4,000. ONE OF THE COLORED EDITORS ATTEMPTED TO RUN IN UNDER ALDERMAN HUGH NORBIS FOR $500. AFTER THE COLORED EDITOR FAILED TO COME IN SIGHT OF THE $600 HE WHEELED IN LINE FOR COL. COWAN DECLARING IN GLARING HEAD LINES THAT ‘CHICAGO WOULD HAVE A COLORED COUNCILMAN AFTER APRIL 8, 1914."" BUT THE COLORED EDITOR PROVED HIMSELF TO BE A FALSE PROPHET AND HE WAS TUMBLED INTO THE PIT OB DITCH ALONG WITH THOSE WHO ATTEMPTED TO ESTABLISH THE COLOR LINE IN THE ALDERMANIO CONTEST IN THE SECOND WARD. THE VOTES BY PRECINCTS IN THE SECOND WARD SHOWS THAT WELL ON TO 1,500 COLORED VOTES STOOD BY THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION IN THAT WARD. It goes without saying that Col. Wil- liam Randolph Cowan, came mighty near making a home run in his race for Alderman of the Second ward, as it was he ran far beyond the second base and for a while it looked as though he would turn out to be a real live win- ner. It is said that Col. Cowan blew or chucked about $600 bones or cold dollars of his other money into the ‘Jack-pot, that the wealthy members of his campaign committee hustled early and late and that they seraped to- gether about $400 making all told $1,000 which was expended in an ef- fort to put him over at the primaries. Many sober minded people are still firmly of the opinion that if Col. Cow- an and his so-called wise and know all leaders and followers would have held meetings in all parts of the sec- ond ward and made their fight on the merits of their candidate and what he would do to improve and for the special benefit of that ward in case he was elected to the city council and re- frained in every way from raising the Color line by contending that there is lor were more Colored Republican voters than White Republican voters in the second ward and that all the Colored Republicans should vote for him, that ‘they alone were strong or powerful enough to nominate and elect him that ill advised war ery or contention was the direct cause of preventing him from coming in under the wire way ahead of his strongest competitor. Some of the same gentlemen whc supported Col. Cowan and made him believe that he would easily be the next alderman from the second ward at the same time they were engaged in relieving him of his money as fast as they could and imparting to him a lot of unsound advice in the bargain, assist: jed to dope or tout Col. Frank L, Hamil. ton up in 1910, to run for the Legisla ture against the Hon. Edward D. Green, and who was more than two to one de: feated by him and when the one sided contest was over between them, it jseems that the touters and dopers had shook Mr. Hamilton down for $3,000 o1 $4,000; his socalled friends and sup: porters looked upon him as an easy mark and they picked or cleaned him ito a dead stand still. “The greatest joke of the late Al: dermanie contest in the second ward, however, was this one of the Colored editors who claims that ‘‘if you see it ini his paper it is so or true,’’ but as a matter of fact its columns are gener- ally fall of faked news, attempted to run in under Alderman Hugh Norris, and separate him from five hundred dollars, which sum he wanted for sup- porting him through the columns of his newspaper, some one associated with Alderman Norris let him down real easy by gently whispering in his big ear, that there was nothing doing what ‘be was thinking about. The Broad Ax was and would do Alderman Norris more good than all the other news- papers in Chicago, outside of the daily newspapers, ‘The Colored editor in question after he had failed to get his hands on the five hundred dollars, so as to enable him to give someone the double cross, he started out to prove to Alderman Nor- ris and his associates that his news- paper had and would exert more real influence than all the other newspapers in town, so he wheeled in line for Col. Cowan and in great head lines running was to have a Colored Councilman in the person of Col. William Randolph Cowan, after April 8, 1914.’? But for some cause or other the Col- ored editor turned out to be a false prophet, notwithstanding the fact that he has the nerve and the brass to con- tend that if you read it in the columns of his newspaper it is so or true, so the Colored editor was tumbled into the pit or ditch along with the rest of the short sighted Colored men and women who permitted a few selfish Colored Politicians, who are not, nor never have been interested in their present or fu- ture welfare, to use them in an effort to establish the “Color Line’ in the Aldermanic contest in the second ward. The votes by precincts in the sec- ond ward, which follows and they show that well onto fifteen hundred Colored voters stood by the Republican organization in that ward.

Much Needed Institution at Hampton Har Amode, Modern Equipment Has Ample Modern Equipment. Hampton, Va.—The new Dixie hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report: "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $9,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $63,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings, of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly 450 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the flames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." LOTT-CAREY CONVENTION. What It Is Doing For Baptist Foreign Missions in West Africa. The Lott-Carey Baptist foreign mission convention is having a large mission house and school erected at Brewerton, Liberla, which will most likely be ready for occupancy by the middle of July. The convention supports a number of missionaries in West Africa, the money for the same being raised in the United States. It contemplates an extension of the work and has sent appeals throughout the territory of the convention. The Rev. Calvin S. Brown of Winston-Salem, N. C., is the president of the convention. During the twenty years of the existence of the convention it has raised over $10,000 for mission work. Much of the success of this work has fallen upon the corresponding secretary, the Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander of Baltimore. He always keeps in close touch with the work of the convention and its needs. At the M. W. M. ALEXANDER, D. D. last annual session he was authorized to make a trip to Liberia to look over the field. Dr. Alexander has recently completed twenty-nine years as pastor of Sharon Baptist church. Baltimore. He founded the church, beginning with nine members. It is now one of the largest congregations in the city. He is a native of Virginia and received his education at the old Wayland seminary in Washington, where he was graduated as valedictorian of his class. He has been active in civic movements in Maryland for a number of years. Dr. Alexander headed the Maryland Suffrage league in three successful fights against disfranchisement. He is the editor of the Maryland Voice, the organ of the Lott-Carey Baptist convention and the Baptists of Maryland. He was honored by Shaw university in Raleigh, N. C., with the degree of doctor of divinity some years ago. LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH. Views of the Great Emancipator on Constitutional State Rights. In a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln in Pooria, Ill., in 1854, he made some striking remarks concerning the domination of the south in congress in part as follows: "By the constitution each state has two senators; each has a number of presidential electors equal to the whole number of its representatives and senators together. But in ascertaining the number of people for the purpose five slaves are counted as being equal to three whites. The slaves do not vote. They are only counted and so used as to swell the influence of the white people's votes." Mr. Lincoln, in illustration of the effects of counting slaves who did not vote, compared Maine and South Carolina. Each of these states had six representatives in congress and eight presidential electors, but Maine had 581, 813 white people and South Carolina had 274,567. "Maine has twice as many as South Carolina and 32,670 over. Thus each man in South Carolina is more than double of any man in Maine. This is all because South Carolina, besides her free people, has 387,964 slaves." A similar state of affairs, Mr. Lincoln stated, existed in the other slave states, and by this counting of the slaves the south had "twenty additional representatives, being seven more than the whole majority by which they passed the Nebraska bill." Mr. Lincoln said that this inequality was caused by the constitution, which he did not propose to disregard, but he was unwilling to have any more new partners with the same degrading terms. He said, "I insist that whether I shall be a whole man or only the half of one in comparison with others is a question in which I am somewhat concerned and one which no other man can have a sacred right of deciding for me." In 1914, fifty years after emancipation, we find even a greater disparity as to the representatives from the same southern states. In the old days it took five slaves to count for three votes for their white masters. Today the whole Negro population is counted to swell the number of white representatives and white presidential electors. The 115 senators and representatives from former slave states give the present Democratic administration control of our government. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. At the age of eighty-one Mme.

HARPER How a North Carolina Boy Won His Spurs. NOT AFRAID OF HARD WORK Interesting Career of a Prominent Veterinary Surgeon Who Burned the Midnight Oil and Worked For His Board and Lodging In Order to Secure an Education. Indianapolis, Ind.—Among the many business and professional men in this city who have won their way to recognition by hard work is Dr. Robert F. Harper, the only man of our race holding a veterinary surgeon's license and who follows the profession. He has been engaged in this line of business for a number of years. His success shows what an industrious, self reliant, honest man with a good education can accomplish. Dr. Robert F. Harper is a native of Green county, N.C. At the age of thirteen, with his brother-in-law and sister, he settled in Crawfordsville, Ind. Good paying positions were scarce in Crawfordsville, and young Harper was anxious to earn money with which to continue his education. The best he could do was to secure a place in a family, where he served morning and early evening for his board, lodging and clothing, so that he might attend school at night. He made rapid progress in school and won taking friends. Finishing the common schools of Crawfordsville, Mr. Harper left for Indianapolis to seek higher things; but, thinking that it was necessary to earn a little money with which to push his way up, he came to this city to earn some money. For one family he worked for eighteen years, saving his money. He was all the time seeking his [Name] DR. ROBERT F. HARPER. field of usefulness and decided on veterinary as his profession. He took the examination to enter the Indiana Veterinary college, being the first member of his race to apply. He passed the examination and was admitted and got right down to hard study. He was determined to make it. He was ranked with the best members of the class and graduated in 1897 with honors. Receiving his diploma and having passed the board of the state, he started his work. He has been a success in his line or profession, standing at the head in the city. He has worked for some of the wealthiest people in the state and is kept busy all the time. He knows the dumb brutes, with all their aches and pains. His knowledge and work have forced the men in the same profession to recognize his work and worth. He is a member of the Indiana State Veterinary Medical association, the only member of his race thus recognized. In the annual meetings his presence is always greeted with pleasure, and the warmest cordial reception is accorded him. Indianapolis has recognized his ability because the city administration recognized him by appointing him city veterinary surgeon, with special work to do. He made good in the position. He is devoted to his wife and son at home, and, then, he never allows an opportunity to go by when he can do something for his race. He is one of the leading Odd Fellows in Indiana, being for a number of years permanent secretary of local lodge, Lincoln union, 1486. He has been a member of the B. M. C. four times and will be in the next session to be held in Boston. During these sessions he has made many friends with the leading members of the order throughout the country and is now mentioned for one of the grand directors, and it is expected that he will return from Boston with the honor for his state. He is treasurer of the Past Grand Masters' council No. 23 and president of the Indiana Patriarche regiment. Dr. Harper all these years has not been asleep, because he has purchased and owns some good real estate. He is one of the men who are doing something and who are helping to make things happen in this part of the country. RESIDENCE 1262 MACALISTER PLACE TELEPHONE, MONROE 2716 MILES J.

In a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln in Peoria, IL, in 1854, he made some striking remarks concerning the domin:ition of the south In congress in part as follows: “By the constitution each state has two senators: each has a number of presidential electors equal to the whole number of its representatives and sen- ators tozether. But in ascertaining the number of people for the purpose five slaves are counted as being equal to three whites. The slaves do not vote. They are only counted and 30 used as to swell the influence of the white people's votes.” Mr. Lincoln, in illustration of the ef- fects of counting slaves who did not vote, compared Maine and South Caro- lina. Each of these states had six rep- resentatives in congress and eight pres- idential electors, but Maine had 581,- 813 white people and South Carolina had 274,507. “Maine has twice as many as South Carolina and 32,670 over. Thus each man in South Carolina 1s more than double of any man in Maine. This is all because South Caro- lina, besides her free people, has 887,- 984 slaves.” , A similar state of affairs, Mr. Lin- coln stated, existed in the other slave states, and by this counting of the slaves the south had “twenty addition- al representatives. being seven more than the whole majority by which they passed the Nebraska bill” Mr. Lin- coln sald that this inequality was caused by the constitution, which be did not propose to disregard, but be was unwilling to have any more new partners with the same degrading terms. He said, “I insist that wheth- er I shill be a whole man or only the half of one in comparison with others is a question in which 1 am somewhat concerned and one which no other man can have a sacred right of decid- ing for me.” In 1914, Ofty years after emancipa- thon, we find even a greater disparit: as to the representatives from the same southern states. In the old days it took five slaves to count for three votes for their white masters. Today the whole Negro population is counted to swell the number of white representa- tives and white presidential electors. ‘The 115 senators and representatives from former slave states give the pres- ‘ent Democratic administration control of our government .

HARPER How a North Garona Boy Won His Spurs, NOT AFRAID OF HARD WORK Interesting Career of a Prominent Vet- erinary Surgeon Who Burned the Midnight Oil and Worked For His Board and Lodging In Order to Se- cure an Education.

Harper, the only man of our race hold- ing a veterinary surgeon's license and who follows the profession. He has been engaged in this line of business for a number of years.

COFFEE TANHAM Big Improvements in Little Gas Heaters Big Improvements in Little Gas Heaters New inventions have brought gas heaters to the highest degree of perfection. The old types are very crude in comparison. When you inspect our 1914 stock of these heaters you will note— That the heating flame is now luminous—not blue—quite as hygienic as the flame of an open grate fire. You would note also that the heat is now thrown into the room by firebrick deflectors and copper reflectors. One of these little heaters will warm up a cold room and make it cozy and comfortable in a few minutes. The $4.50 styles burn but a few cents worth of gas an hour.
