SHADRACK BENJAMIN NIGHT MEETING AT THE STA APRIL 6, THAT HE TOTED AROUND 280 VOTERS RESIDING IN HIS IT FOR CHAS. A. GRIFFIN BUT HIMSELF TO BE A FALSE PRO So far the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. has proven himself to be the greatest living double dealer in politics of this or any other age in the history of the world. No one claiming to be highly respectable and half way honest can condone his unsavvy and reprehensible conduct in that respect, for example on the day of the aldermanic election like a cringing slave or cheap small pothouse ward politician he stood or walked around the polls in the precinct wherein he resides and worked for Charles A. Griffin and it may be proper to state that he was completely run over by the forces of Alderman Norris and he never had a look in, in the way of carrying his precinct for Mr. Griffin to indirectly aid Thomas T. Hoyne, for the thinking people residing near him know him too well and they do not take any stock in his honesty of purpose when it comes down to politics whenever there is a little easy money in sight. It is true that the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. was forced to show his hand by Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the other supporters and camp followers of wouldbe Alderman T. T. Hoyne, the Democratic candidate, for he is beholden to Mayor Harrison for his moving picture job and when the "Man of Destiny" pulls the strings he must dance to his music or off comes his head. As further positive proof that the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. is past master in the high art of double dealing or doublecrossing in politics, it will be re-called that shortly before the first of February this year he attended the Colored aldermanic meeting which held forth in Charles S. Jackson's dead rooms, 3249 South State street and being one of the first honored speakers, he let it be known that he thought "it would be a capital idea to nominate a Colored man to make the race for the city council, that the Colored people should have some one to represent them in that body" and so on hoping and praying all the time that he would be selected to make the race, no doubt so that he would be in a position to sell out and make a little more real easy money for his money mad Lord. But Col. William Randolph Cowan, the aldermanic cards shuffled to suit himself and he was duly nomi- nated to go to it as far as the primaries. At that point the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. beat it out of Charley Jackson's dead rooms and shortly after that or on Tuesday evening, February 10th he was one of the star speakers at Entertainers hall, he spoke from the same platform along with Congressman Martin B. Madden and in doing so he declared he was "at home in the Republican party, that there is no political hope for the Negro outside of that party; that it was an inopportune time to attempt to elect a Colored man to the city council from the second ward; that he himself had advised against any such attempt or movement on the part of the Colored people, that he had urged Mr. Cowan not to seek the Republican nomination for alderman of the second ward but to run as an independent candidate and force the reform newspapers to support him, that he was for the renomination and reelection of Alderman Hugh Norris, that he had never met him but twice before that evening, that he had always hated him for some one had told him that Alderman Norris hated his people and that he was bitterly opposed to any man who was against his people, (who said dead rats!) but in a very short time he had learned to greatly advise Alderman Norris that he was a first class gentleman and friendly to his people and that he should be re-nominated and re-elected to the city council for at least one more term." On the 10th of February, he gave expression to the above sentiments and on Saturday, April 4, he got out one issue of his old church organ, or The Conservator, in which he heartily thanked Governor Dunne and Mayor Harrison for making it possible for him or one or two members of his family, to eat at the public crib. His old church organ contained a large cut of candidate Griffin, which proved to be his hodoo and on Sunday morning and evening, he urged his few hearers from his pulpit in Institutional church to vote for Mr. Griffin, Tuesday, April 7, knowing full well, that every vote cast for him counted two for Thomas T. Hoyne, the Democratic candidate for Alderman; but with all of his scheming and underhanded work, he utterly failed to defeat Alderman Norris, and land Mr. Hoyne in the city council. CHICAGO, APRIL 18, 1914 THE CONDUCTOR PROF. JAMES A. MUNDY. The moving spirit in the Coleridge Taylor Club which will hold forth at Orchestra Hall on Monday evening, May 11 at 8 o'clock. The Hon. Shadrack Benjamin Turner, turned out to be a heavy load stone, around the neck of candidate Griffin, for at the midnight meeting at the States Theatre, Monday evening, April 6, in a grandstand speech he declared, that, he toted around in his hip pocket, almost 260 voters in his precinct; that the great majority of them would be cast in favor of the election of Charles A. Griffin, but the supporters of Alderman Norris completely ran over him, crushing him out flat and turned his precinct over his head; proving himself right there and then, to be a false prophet. destinies as to feel a personal sense of responsibility for its future. The General Committee will meet from Sunday to Sunday in the parlor of the Appomattox Club at 4 P. M. to hear the reports of progress of the various sub-committees. DEATH OF B. F. MOSELEY, JR. Last Friday evening B. F. Moseley Jr., the only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Beauregard F. Moseley, 6248 Sangamon street, gently and silently passed from this life, on into the next world. THE FOURTH COMING EIGHTH REGIMENT BALL For the first time in the history of the Eighth Regiment the Colored citizens of Chicago have awakened to a sense of realization that this famous organization is in many respects their biggest asset, and that its destinies are inevitably linked with theirs. In furtherance of this idea, a permanent Citizen's Committee of One Hundred has been perfected. Mr. Frank L. Hamilton, The Appomattox Club's genial President, heads the Committee, with Morris Lewis, Major General of the Uniform Rank of Odd Fellows as Secretary. The general Committee is represented by well known citizens and members of the various fraternal and social organizations in Chicago and Evanston. The principle purpose of the Citizen's Committee is to stimulate an active and enthusiastic interest on the part of the Colored people in the Regiment, and to keep alive the race pride, which this organization, because of the fact that it is the only one of its kind in the world, is justly merited by the race in the State of Illinois. Arrangements have already been perfected to give under the auspices of this Citizen's Committee, a Monster Ball on the evening of May 25th at the 7th Regiment Armory. If the plans as made are carried out every detail in connection with the promotion of this testimonial will be controlled and supervised by the Citizen's Committee. Col. Franklin A. Denison was invited to the first meeting of the Committee, and after hearing from those present their plans and purposes, expressed himself in the highest terms of praise of those who had inaugurated the movement. He said that all along he had felt that the chasm was entirely too wide between the Colored citizens of the 8th Regiment, and that they should so interest themselves in its destinies as to feel a personal sense of responsibility for its future. The General Committee will meet from Sunday to Sunday in the parlor of the Appomattox Club at 4 P. M. to hear the reports of progress of the various sub-committees. DEATH OF B. F. MOSELEY, JR. Last Friday evening B. F. Moseley, Jr., the only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Beauregard F. Moseley, 6248 S. Sangamon street, gently and silently passed from this life, on into the next world. Mrs. Moseley, and her son, had only arrived home about three weeks prior to his death from Phoenix, Arizona, where they had spent three months for the benefit of his health, but to no avail. He was only 19 years, ten months and 28 days old, being cut off from this life in the bloom of his youth. Funeral services were held over his remains at the house on Monday morning. Interment at Lincoln Cemetery. Mrs. C. Johnson, was in charge of the funeral arrangement. Rev. Moses Jackson, pastor of Grace Presbyterian church and Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, pastor of Hope Presbyterian church, both spoke very sympathetically and endeavored to impart words of hope and encouragement to his parents, his only sister, Miss Bertha Moseley, his dear old grandmother, Mrs. Hammond and to his other late relatives, friends and associates. The floral tributes were many and very beautiful. It required one carriage to convey them from the house to the cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Moseley, have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends over their sad bereavement. For with much pride they longingly looked forward to the time when their last and only son, who was a student at the university of Illinois, when his last serious illness laid its hands of death upon him, would be associated with his father in his law business.

The highest mountain in Montana, Granite Peak, with an altitude of nearly 13,000 feet, is in the Beartooth national forest. --- Norway has 144 tree planting societies. The first was founded in 1900, and since then 26 million trees have been planted, more than 2 million having been set out last year. In many parts of the west snow is leaving the mountains earlier than usual. Foresters say that this may mean a bad fire season, and they are making plans for a hard campaign. New Jersey is said to have the greatest proportion of railroad mileage of any state in the country, or one mile of railroad to every three square miles of territory. This makes an unusual risk of forest fires set by railroads. The heavy storms in southern California during the pest rainy season wiped out many miles of trails in the national forests of that part of the No. 30 Hawley; "Floatin' Down the River," Howard T.

THE BROAD AX Me a ra, ieee Sfoeiaoee SIPSssTEs aki“ Weiins only cn one side ot ths poner ae rates made Te ape THE BROAD AX Ee Sea gies ti ‘Is It Based On Inferiority? One of the hoary-headed theories of the White South propounds the abso- Inte mental inferiority of the Colored people. It is interesting to contem- plate the fate of these theories as the ‘world progresses. In its progress the theories of today are the discards of to- morrow. Out of the ashes of old specu- lations rises the new theory, only to meet in most eases, the unhappy fate of its Iuckless predecessor. Such was the fate of that theory ac- cording to which the brother-in-black could not be taught to read and write. It was wonderful with what pertinacity siavebolders ~clung to this ridiculous idea even after they discovered num- bers of slaves who could both read and write. It is not difficult, in view of this theory to which some benighted Louis- ima people still cling, to appreciate the deepseated, poignant-chagrin of eduestor Congressman Aswell from thst State of darkness, Louisiana, who was foreed to witness the unspeakable hu- miliation of having some school ehil- Gren from his State defeated ignomini- ously in a spelling contest held a few years ago at the meeting of the N. E. ‘A. in Cleveland. ‘According to a later theory the White South ‘knew’? that a Colored ¢hild could not possibly learn math- ‘matics, and this too in spite of the fact that hundreds of Colored boys were finishing in preparatory schools for ad- mission to first class colleges all over the eountry. It took the publication of a Greek grammar by 8 Colored man to explode the Southern theory that s Colored stu- dent could not possibly comprehend « Greek root. ‘The old theory that no White woman could be the mother of s black man’s child and live through the ordeal failed to deter the White women of the South of preferring Black cousorts, and so miscegenation laws have been enlisted for this purpose. Fort Pillow, Petersburg, and a hun- dred other battle fields, exploded the theory that one White man could put a hundred Blacks to flight; for now ne reason given for asking for in- creases in Southern city police forees is that five or six policeman are fre- quently necessary to arrest a Black desperado who is many times only s sixteen year old boy; while every one knows that it requires s mob of a *‘thousand representative citizens’? to lynch one miserably helpless Colored suspect. ‘Vardaman’s assertion, which no one but Vardaman believes, that Colored men, who could read and write fluently at fifteen forget it all at thirty is terrible reflection on the census ext- merations of the South who reported ‘a sixty per cent. reduction in the illit- eracy of the Colored people. In addition to the explosion of these theories and many other similar ones, there is the positive evidence that Col- ered applicants pass the same civil service tests, and in Mississippi far out- strip their White competitors; pass the same teachers’, bar and medicine, ex- aminations; meet the same college e2- ‘and college classes, often in tion with White -stadents, “from whom ‘they frequently win ptizes and scholar- ships; make places on debating and Gxampionships in variouf forms of ath- ‘Their poetry and fiction are read and “admired; their music is rendered the % | ate in use everywhere. eee a ee Socio sth nnalpa ear gree tens abodes Ye St HYDE PARK NEWS BY L.

It is well understood that a high temperature of heat, boiling or more destroys the germs of disease. But as to the effect of cold om bacteria, there has been some diversity of opin- ion, some contending that a freezing temperature was destructive of germ life, while others held to the opposite view. Recently, however, experiments in the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology would seem to settle the matter by showing that while bacteria cannot survive continued exposure to a high degree of heat, a low temperature only preserves them in a dormant state from which they become unusually active on being placed in a warmer temperature best suited for their growth and mul- tiplieation. The report says that frozen foods such as ice cream, sherbet, milk and egg mixture favor the existence of the harmful bacteria at low temperature, not because they are foods but appar- ently because they furnish the physical conditios that are somehow protective to the bacteria. It seems likely that water-bearing food materialé as well as sugar solutions, ete, freeze in such a way that most of the baeteria are not erushed or injured, while in the more purely Watery suspensions and above all, in water itself in which the whole mass becomes solidly crystallized they are usually destroyed. This it is claimed accounts, for the absence of live bacteria in clear ice and their abundance in ‘‘snow ice,’? or “bubbly ice.” Among other discoveries made it was found that the bacillus coli or the ty- phoid germs remained alive in ice ‘cream, sherbets and other things of like nature for many months. From this it is easy to see that ice cream, sherbets, frozen puddings, ete. made from either polluted milk, cream or water, are just as dangerous as if they had not heen frozen; and unless we know that all such food products |have been made from clean, pure ma- terial, we should not use them at all ee ey It you have a baby in the home and | the mother is not able to nurse it and ‘which nieans that it must be bottle fed, then you should get the very best milk that you ean afford.

Description and Work of the First Institutional Meeting House Erected by Afro-Americans In the South—Qualifications of the Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., as Pastor. Jacksonville, Fla.—Bethel Institutional Baptist church is the largest and most aggressive church of its kind in the United States operated by the race. Indeed, it is all that is implied in the words "institutional church." It is the first institutional church in the south erected by our people. The first church was built of red pressed brick, trimmed with Georgia marble. The building contained a main auditorium, with a seating capacity of 1,150, and nine classrooms. It cost $24,000. The workmanship was that of colored mechanics and under the direction of colored contractors. During the big fire in Jacksonville a few years ago the building was destroyed, and for a long time the congregation worshiped in the "shack," and the then pastor, Dr. J. Milton Waldron, was busy looking for a still better location on which to rebuild. It was in 1903 that the Rivers square site was purchased. It contained a whole block and is one of the most desirable blocks in the city. The congregation, under the direction of Pastor Waldron, proceeded at once to erect a new modern and commodious church building. The present-pastor, the Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., is one of the most aggressive Baptist ministers in the country. He spent much time in preparing for his work before entering the active ministry. He was born in Owensboro, Ky., and at an early age his parents moved to Chicago, where he had the M. B. REV JOHN E. FORD, D. D. benefit of the Chicago public and high schools, graduating from the latter with high honors. Dr. Ford took a course in shorthand and afterward entered Beloit college, and from Beloit he took a course at Fisk university, in Nashville, Tenn. From Fisk university Dr. Ford found his way to the University of Chicago, where he pursued his theological studies. He remained at the Chicago university until he had finished his course and graduated with honors. During his school days in Chicago he was pastor of one of the leading churches in the city-Bethesda Baptist church. In this work he gained considerable experience and was successful in adding many to the church. From Bethesda he was called to a large congregation in Los Angeles. Cal., where he accomplished great work and made a reputation as an aggressive pastor. He accepted a call to Denver, where he remained several years, putting the church work there on a high standard. It was while in Los Angeles that he toured the old world, being one of the delegates to the world's Sunday school convention. His travels through Europe and the Holy Land better prepared him for his ministerial work. On his return to America he found that the Rev. J. Milton Waldron had decided to go to Washington. Being anxious that the congregation should have an able man as pastor, Dr. Waldron recommended Dr. Ford. He accepted the call and at once entered upon his duties. Many have been added to the church during the past three years. Dr. Ford is active in everything that means the advancement of the race. The motto of the church is, "Not Institutional In Name Only. But In Fact." "Our object is to 'save the whole man,' body, mind, soul and spirit." says the pastor. The educational work consists of night school, business college and an auxiliary to Florida Baptist college. There are also a Women's Christian Temperance union, Men's Temperance union, Mothers' union, Health and Improvement association and Kindergarten, all of which are under the direction of a company of able men and women. RURAL EDUCATION SOUTH. How Miss Emma J. Wilson Built Up the Maysville (S. C.) School. Perhaps none among the younger industrial schools in the south is doing a greater work for the education of the masses than the Maysville (S. C.) Industrial institute. The school was started about ten years ago in an old abandoned cotton gin building, with little financial aid and no equipment. The district in which the institution is located is thickly settled, and the country public schools are few and situated at a great distance apart. Therefore the people were glad to rally to the support of this new enterprise among them. Miss Emma J. Wilson, principal of the school, worked almost single handed as teacher, missionary and superintendent for three years after the school was organized. She made the blackboards out of old pine planks, painted them and nailed them to the side of the classrooms, constructed benches out of castoff lumber and built tables and desks for classroom use. After a short while she bought ten acres of land on which to cultivate corn, peas, cabbages, beans and potatoes. The institution has at the present time 143 acres of farm land, 150 boarding students, forty-three orphan children under its care and a total enrollment of 500 students. Miss Wilson is making a brief tour of several northern cities in the financial interest of the school. She delivered a most instructive address at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, where she made many friends. Among those who heard Miss Wilson's story were several South Carolinians who are living north. They became so much interested in the school that they are going to form a South Carolina club through which to raise funds for the Maysville school. Miss Wilson will return to the school in time for the annual commencement the latter part of May. WORK OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Society on Urban Conditions Among Afro-Americans Broadens Sphere. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Afro-Americans, with headquarters at 110 West Fortieth street, New York, is fostered by the philanthropy and guided by the Intelligence of a committee of representative white and colored citizens. Professor George E. Haynes and Eugene Knickle Jones are director and assistant director respectively. The league's work in New York city is meeting the approval of the public at large. Its rapid and extensive growth is shown by the three offices and corps of fifteen workers, which would have been impossible but for the sanction and co-operation of members of the race in New York city. This confidence, however, could only be developed when the service rendered is efficient. The workers are all trained and peculiarly adapted to their special lines of service. Every Afro-American should become personally acquainted with the league and its work. Perhaps the friendly contact might help to correct a defective physical or moral tendency in some child. Perhaps some unpleasant condition in the house where you live needs correction. There are many ways in which we can help. If not, we can put you in touch with agencies that can give you the desired assistance, says the management. THE ORDER OF MOSES HOLDS ANNUAL PUBLIC WORSHIP Was Founded by Peter Paul Brown Forty-seven Years Ago. Brooklyn.—One of the most interesting events among the secret societies in Brooklyn recently was the annual thanksgiving sermon to the Order of Moses held in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church. The sermon was delivered by the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole. The members of the various departments of the order were out in large numbers and in full regalia which added charm and beauty to their appearance as they filed into the alces of the spacious edifice. The exercises of the order were conducted by Joseph E. Matthews, who was master of ceremonies. The program was highly interesting especially to those persons who had never before seen such a program carried out by a large secret organization in a public place of religious worship. The statement giving the purpose of the order was read by Arthur Q. Martin, one of Brooklyn's successful business men. Mr. Martin said that the order of Moses was founded forty-seven years ago by Peter Paul Brown in Morristown, Pa. He also gave the figures showing the benefits derived from the organization by a financial member. The sermon by Dr. Cole dealt largely with the history of Moses and revealed much helpful information to the members of the order and also to the public. Dr. Cole said that the order occupied a different position from that of many of the secret societies because it was founded by a colored American and had been successfully conducted by members of the colored race in America for forty-seven years. The Student Volunteer Movement. The various educational institutions among Afro-Americans generally and those in Atlanta, Ga. In particular are showing much interest in the coming convention of the student volunteer movement, to be held on the campus of Clark university in Atlanta, beginning Monday, May 18. The program will be conducted by Dr. John L. Mott DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Emma Lascco, Chicago, has celebrated her one hundredth birthday. The countess of Warwick taboos furs and also will not wear feathers except those of an ostrich. Mrs. John Ward, daughter of the late Whitalew Reid, will erect an institute in London as a memorial to her father. Mile. Helene Miropolsky, a member of the Paris bar, urges women to educate themselves for diplomatic positions. Miss Millie M. Mariner is probably the only female submarine diver in the world. She is an Englishwoman and is a fully qualified diver. Miss Isabelle Caruthers, balliff of the Chicago court of domestic relations, is the only woman balliff in the United States. Miss Caruthers prefers reforming people to arresting them. Maggie Mitchell, once a famous actress, is now eighty-two. She became famous overnight for her Fanchon dance. Miss Mitchell left the stage years ago after making a comfortable fortune and now lives on Long Island. Forest Notes. The tenth successive year without a forest fire has just been passed by the Powell national forest in south central Utah. Yellow poplar, or tulip tree, the largest broadleaf tree in America, has been known to reach nearly 200 feet in height and ten feet in diameter. Pennsylvania has about 7,500,000 acres of timber land, one-eighth of which is owned by the state. The total value of the state's timber is $139,000,000. Mistletoe thrives on our western coasts to an extent not approached in the east. In many places this parasitic growth is responsible, directly or indirectly, for a considerable loss of timber. The Royal Box. The reigning Spanish family are the last of the once powerful Bourbons. The czar of Russia probably owns a greater quantity of china than any other person in the world. He has the china belonging to all the Russian rulers as far back as Catherine the Great. It is stored in the Winter palace at St. Petersburg. Princess Sophia, wife of the ruler of the new state of Albania, is said to be a highly gifted woman. She is the mother of two children and quite a musician. She writes poems and paints and collected about her in Potsdam a charming circle of artists. Current Comment. In France politics is an emotional game.-Detroit Free Press.
