The following is reproduced from these columns of September 27, 1913, in order to back up that which is to follow in these columns for the next two or three weeks. "For our part we honestly feel or believe that at no time since the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., has become a resident of this great city has he had the slightest moral right to pose as the highest 'personification of all that is good and ennobling in the Afro-American race. That without anyone successfully disputing the fact, too often in the past it has appeared to a blind man up a tree that he has sported around in the livery of heaven in which to more faithfully serve the head boss of the infernal regions." "Notwithstanding these self-evident truths, on all state or other important occasions the Rev. Honorable Archeibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., will persist in boldly thrusting himself forward as the leading and sole representative of the Afro-American race in this part of the country, and all those who fail to bow down real low unto him and worship him like unto the great Jehovah Himself he endeavors to tramp or crush them out or blow them off the face of the earth." "Not knowing what fate or the gods have in store for us in the future, but we are highly resolved from henceforth not to look to the right nor to the left but straight ahead and whatever the result might be, just as long as we continue to breathe the breath of life in some way or other we shall solemnly protest against permitting half drunken preachers, political tramps, dishonest deadbeats, parvenus or upstarts. Those who have no visible means of support—those who are always toting a gun around in their hip pocket and are ready to kill or murder anyone at the drop of the hat, to represent us on all grand and important occasions." For writing and handing out to the world the above lines and for publishing the fact that the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, who seemingly is a first class trickster, who had no visible means of support until he became secretary of the Illinois State Commission, who does not pay one dollar in any kind of taxes in the state of Illinois, who does not even pay dog license in this city, whom we would --- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY not trust any further than we could heave a big Kentucky mule by the tail, had been indicted three times by the Grand Jury of Cook County for simply publishing that plain statement of facts. The Hon. Tommy Swann and the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., who did not like it and ruffled up his back like unto a big tom or chessie cat because it was recently stated in these columns that Thomas J. Hunter and Tom M. Johnson could if they would relate several highly interesting stories respecting the unministerial conduct on the part of the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. Called on James H. Wilkerson, United States district attorney, lately and they endenavored to induce him to cure the writer severely for publishing or referring to the above facts. District Attorney Wilkerson very deliberately informed the two eminent gentlemen (we don't think) that at no time since he has been conducting the affairs of that office has the editor of The Broad Ax violated the one millionth part of any of the Federal laws in relation to transporting copies of The Broad Ax through the United States mail; that if they had any kick a coming against Julius F. Taylor it would be far better for them to invade the Municipal Courts in this city or the State courts with their troubles, that they were entitled to have their day in court where justice would be meeted out to them free of all charges. It seems that neither one of them want to come in contact with justice in any of the city or State courts for they are fully aware of the fact that they would be forced to mount the witness stand and by the time that our able lawyers wound up in firing hot questions at them they would be unable to look an honest dog in the face. As stated at the beginning of this article that the Rev. Hon. Arrehbald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., labors under the impression that he is the king of kings, that each and every Colored person must fall or bow down real low unto him and worship him like unto the great Jehovah Himself, that if they fail to do so he will treat them with scorn and contempt, trample them under his big feet and attempt to wush them out or blow them off the M. B. The upright and honorable clerk of the Probate Court, who should be re-nominated Wednesday, September 9, and re-elected to his present position without the slightest opposition. At all times he is willing to aid any worthy cause and he very generously bought twenty tickets $5.00 worth, for the benefit of the Louise Training School for Colored boys. face of the earth. The headquarters of the Illinois State Being unable to compel us to fall down on our knees and request him to permit us to feed on some of the crumbs which might happen to fall from his table, and being utterly unable to strike terror into our heart in any manner, shape or form, it occurred to him that the next best thing to do would be to have The Broad Ax placed on the black list in the United States postoffice—that that would be the most effective way to clip our wings or claws—that if he could successfully accomplish that object without being compelled to climb onto the witness stand in open court in order to seek justice, which he does not want, that he would be able to stand up in his pulpit in the Institutional Church and exclaim that "it was the handiwork of his Lord, that he always knew that in due time his Lord would come to his aid and assist to can and put old Julius Taylor out of business, but for some cause or other his Lord failed to come to his rescue and he is still forced to fight his battles alone and in sadness and the writer is still in the land of the living and doing business at the same old stand in the same old way and the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., never will live to see the day that he will be able to possess enough of power and influence to drive us out of the newspaper business in Chicago. Right here it might be interesting to state that Madison Davis Carey, who married Miss Polk last September, against the wishes of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. Archibald Jackson Carey, for they entertained the idea that Miss Polk did not move in their same social circle and that she was far beneath them in every way, was for three weeks prior to Wednesday, May 13, 1914, on the payroll in the County Treasurer's office in the County building, drawing $4.00 per day and practically doing nothing to earn it. Although he is not a voter and neither he nor his father ever raised their little finger in the way of assisting to elect the Hon. William L. O'Connell to his present position, which made it possible for Madison Davis Carey and the whole bunch to feed at the public crib. At the present time the male head of the Carey household is serving as one of the Illinois State Commissioners and every time that he turns around the taxpayers have to foot his bill. The headquarters of the Illinois State Commission are located in his church—the Institutional Church, and the taxpayers are forced to pay into his pocket $50 to $100 per month for the use of it to enable him to boost his own game or scheme in raking in easy money, and one of his daughters is serving as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission, receiving $75 per month for doing almost nothing, and the political demo-republican pastor of Institutional church is also on Mayor Carter H. Harrison's payroll at about $100 per month, which also comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers and until Wednesday, May 13, his young son, Madison Davis Carey, was on the payroll at $4.00 per day in the County Treasurers office, and his salary came out of the pockets of the taxpayers and we are in favor of having some kind of legislation enacted whereby Governor Edward F. Dunne and Mayor Carter H. Harrison will be empowered to provide lifetime positions for each and every member of the Carey family at the expense of the taxpayers of Cook county and throughout the State of Illinois. JOHN J. BRADLEY, BECOMES UNITED STATES MARSHAL FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. On Monday morning, former Alderman, John J. Bradley, who represented the 30th ward in the City Council for some years, in the midst of great bunches of flowers, bouquets, consisting of American Beauty roses, he was sworn in as United States Marshal, for the Northern District of Illinois. For the present, he will retain all of the old assistants in the office. Judge Landis administered the cath of office to him, and every hour this week, his numerous friends have been calling on Marshal Bradley, in the Federal Building, to congratulate him over his appointment. Miss Beulah Louise Medley, daughter of Mrs. Arabelle Medley, 547 W. 60th Place, will on Wednesday evening, June 10, at 7 o'clock become united in marriage to Mr. William Henry Riley. Shortly after the wedding ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Riley, will start on a three weeks bridal tour, through the east. They will be at home after July 1, at 547 W. 60th Place. Rough and Tumble Political Fight among the White and Colored Republicans in the First Senatorial District ALDERMAN GEORGE P. HARDING IS "ON THE WAY," AND WILL RUN AGAINST THE HON. FRANK P. BRADY FOR STATE SENATOR. HON. EDWARD D. GREEN AND WILLIAM M. BRINKMAN WILL BE PITTED AGAINST A. H. ROBERTS AND M. J. CLARKE FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE. CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MADDEN CAME ON FROM WASHINGTON, D. C., TO PATCH UP THE BITTER FIGHT AMONG HIS HEAD CHIEFS IN THAT DISTRICT BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. There are hot times in store for the White and Colored Republican politicians residing in the 1st and 2nd wards, better known as the 1st senatorial district and everything seems to indicate that they will engage in an old time rough and tumble fight—a regular knocking down and dragging out fight. The thing that brought on the trouble among them it seems that the present state senator, Hon. Frank P. Brady, without consulting the other Republican chiefs in the district selected M. J. Clarke and A. H. Roberts as his running mate for the legislature. Of course he nominated himself for state senator. in fact he kicked so high that he came mighty nigh smashing the dashboard all to pieces and as he aptly says that "he is on his way to the State Senate that he intends to fight Senator Brady to a dead finish or stand still, that when the votes are counted on Wednesday evening Sept. 9th that he will be the winner and Senator Brady will march on down to defeat. Hon. Edward D. Green will be on the Harding ticket and run against A. H. Roberts and William M. Brinkman will go up against M. J. Clarke, and Mestrs. Green and Brinkman feel dead sure that they will march on to victory with Alderman Harding who It is said that his highhanded method or manner in running the old Republican machine all alone woke up all the Republican animals or leaders in that neck of the woods and they have started on the warpath after Senator Brady and his star chamber leaders and his autocratical tactics. Alderman George F. Harding was the first among the big Republican leaders in the district to pull back and kick his heels clear over the traces. JOHNSON'S SCHOOL HISTORY OF THE NEGRO RACE IN AMERICA AND HISTORY OF THE NEGRO SOLDIERS IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. TO BE PRESENTED TO THE LOUISE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED BOYS SUNDAY AFTERNOON JUNE 7 BY JULIUS F. TAYLOR. This coming Sunday afternoon, June 7, at 4 o'clock sharp, Julius F. Taylor will present Edward A. Johnson's wonderfully interesting book, entitled "Johnson's School History of the Negro Race in America and History of the Negro soldiers in the Spanish-American War," to the Louise Training school for Colored boys, which is located at 6130 South Ada street. At which time he will very briefly refer to some of the most noted Colored men and women mentioned in the highly interesting book, which is gotten up in such plain and simple language that almost any girl or boy can read it and understand it. It is bound in rich green cloth and consists of four hundred pages. It contains the letter of Gen. George Washington to Phyllis Wheatley which was dated at Cambridge, Mass., 28th February, 1776, in which the first president of the United States heartily thanked her for mentioning him in one of her first poems. It also contains President Thomas Jefferson's letter to Benjamin Banneka, astronomer mathematician and author of the first American almanac. Mr. Jefferson's letter to him was dated at Philadelphia, Pa., August 30, 1791. It also contains the address of General Andrew Jackson to his Colored soldiers just before he engaged in the memorable battle of New Orleans during the Revolutionary war in 1812. To make a long story short the book is worth its weight in gold to anyone who has the slightest desire to learn or know something respecting the achievements of the Colored race in America. The next issue of this paper will con- No. 37 in fact he kicked so high that he came mighty nigh smashing the dashboard all to pieces and as he aptly says that "he is on his way to the State Senate that he intends to fight Senator Brady to a dead finish or stand still, that when the votes are counted on Wednesday evening Sept. 9th that he will be the winner and Senator Brady will march on down to defeat.

Madden "hot footed" is on from Washington, D.

HEALTH NOTES Hot weather spoils the milk and spoiled milk kills the babies. Beware of spoiled milk. This is great weather for growing things; have you anything in the way of flowers or vegetables growing? If not, why not? If manure breeds flies and flies kill babies, what does the man do who maintains the manure pile on his premises? What's the answer? --- Beware of the unmuzzled dog. Also if your neighborhood is overrun with homeless, ownerless, uncared for dogs, ask the police department to have them taken up and sent to the pound. Germ laden milk is dangerous. Milk that is full of the disease producing bacteria is all the more dangerous because we cannot see them, though it may be so alive with germs that if the milk were clear like water we could see them with the naked eye. It is said that milk of this kind contains more germs than are found in fresh, rich sewage. Pretty bad stuff dirty milk is; so bad that if any housewife or mother could or would see what it contains, she would not buy it nor allow it in her house. It is asserted by those who have studied and carefully observed that 90 per cent of all house flies are born in stable manure. The female flies deposit their eggs in stable refuse whenever and wherever they are able to obtain access to it. It follows then that if stables, barns and manure receptacles are kept carefully screened, or are so placed that the flies cannot obtain access to them, the flies will be deprived of their breeding places and this means no flies to carry disease breeding filth into our homes. It is true that the most dangerous dirt is unseen; that is, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. And especially is this true of milk. In order to have clean milk there must be care and watchfulness all along the line from the cow on the dairy farm clear into the city homes where the babies are to be either helped or harmed according as the milk they get is clean or dirty. Milk is easily spoiled. It absorbs fibr and impurities when exposed to the open air. It must be kept cool and always covered. When intended for babies only enough for one feeding should be taken from the bottle at a time and the bottle should at once be capped or covered lightly and placed where it will keep cool. Care should be taken too, that the vessel that is used for preparing the baby's milk is clean. By this we mean it should have been cleaned with boiling water to be sure that it contains nothing that might spoil the milk. COMMENCEMENT AT THE The forty-fifth commencement exercises in Atlanta University last week were the most finished, from every point of view, in the history of the University. The graduating class numbered forty young men and young women of unusual promise. The most important features of the week were as follows: First, came the Nineteenth Annual Conference upon the subject of the Negro and Crime. This conference is the most widely known conference in the world on Negro problems. Its investigations, representing the largest body of scientific data collected by any conference in the world on Negro problems, have found their way into practically every first class library abroad as well as in this country. This year's investigation was into the lives of a large number of men who are now --- actually in prison and the results as set forth were truly startling. Next, came the commencement address by Rev. George L. Paine of New Haven, Conn, the son of the late Robert Treat Paine of Boston. The orator was a worthy successor of the long line of orators like Dr. Philip Moxom, Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, Dr. Frank B. Sanborn and many others who have honored the commencement stage in Atlanta University. One of the most enjoyable features of commencement was the game festival by the Normal students of the Oglethorpe Practice School. The games had the beautiful setting of the large grove of the campus. There fully two thousand students and spectators sat on the hillsides and looked down upon a scene that seemed to be fairyland transformed into reality. There was a quiet freedom and case that made the occasion unique in southern college life. Closing the festivities, came the Alumni banquet and then the President's reception. The banquet brought representatives from the oldest class—the class of 1874—who presented a large sum of money to the University. One lady of the class of '94 gave a dollar for every year she had been out; one graduate of '94 gave $150 and $700 was given in various small gifts by graduates. Atlanta University thinks it has the most loyal body of graduates in the world because they show their appreciation in this way every year. MOSELEY MONUMENT The Unveiling Ceremony at Lincoln Cemetery. Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, Officiating. Among the many events of moment and interest at the various Cemeteries in Chicago, last Saturday, Decoration Day, none surpassed that at Lincoln Cemetery, 115th street and Kedzie avenue, where attorney Beauregard F. Moseley set the pace we hope for the rest of the Race in securing, preparing and beautifying the graves of those departed members of his family, and in making ready for those to follow. The thought is a serious one, and the conduct is as God-like as man can make it, this preparing and making ready for the hereafter; this and other serious and weighty thoughts and suggestions was fully developed by the orations of Lawyer W. W. Johnson, an old friend of the Moseley family, and young Mr. R. Woodfolk, in their unveiling orations, delivered at the unveiling of a magnificent, massive six foot Family Monument, inscribed in a clear field, two feet above the base on either side with the name "Moseley," overlooking the main entrance to these beautiful and well kept burial grounds, where lies Burton H. and Beauregard F. Moseley, Jr., the two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Moseley and Chas. T. Hammond, her brother, whose remains Mr. Moseley has had removed and re-entered there. Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, Pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church officiated. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Madame Neil Buckner and Miss Maude Roberts, Chicago's three best singers, was upon the well rendered and interesting program, after Sergeant Wm. F. Childs, Beverly Motley and Chas. B. Travis and other friends assisted in removing the veil. Dinner was served at the Station Restaurant, and the family and friends returned to the City to await the next Decoration Day of 1915, when services will again be held to keep fresh the memory of the dead.—"C." GEORGE H. SMITH OPENS A NEW BUFFET ON THE SOUTH WEST CORNER OF 39TH AND STATE STREET. Shortly before June 1, George H. Smith, who for a number of years was engaged in business at the southwest corner of 31st and State streets and who later on constructed and conducted the Grand Theatre, which is now being managed by his son, opened a first class buffet, at the southwest corner of 39th and State streets, and as the Colored population is rapidly moving south, within a few years time he will be right in the thickest of what is known as the Black or Colored belt. When a fellow's conscience accuses him he ought to be glad that it can't talk loud enough for his wife to hear. One suggested improvement for the canoe is an automatic distress signal that will go off when the canoe turns over. Because their seconds could not agree two French duels agreed to arbitrate their difficulty. The safety first movement is arousing. Decoration Day in the Grand Old State of Illinois. Sermon Preached at Bethel by its Pastor, to the John Brown Post, Rev. T. A. Smythe, D. D. The OVATION GIVEN THE 8TH REGIMENT, THE K. OF P'S., THE COL- ORED BOY SCOUTS AND THE JOHN BROWN POST, BY L. W. WASH- IGTON. The Rev. Dr. T. A. Smythe, D. D., the young Chesterfield of the A. M. E. Conference and the Pastor of Bethel, preached a wonderful sermon to the aged members of the John Brown Post, Saturday 11 a. m., and to those who attended the services, being compelled to have an overflow meeting. The church was patriotically decorated with flowers, ferns and American flags. As a reminder of the price of liberty may we not forget it, may we not forget it, men, people and county. Rev. Smythe is assisted by Mr. B. W. Pitts, president of Bethel Literary Society. called upon to answer this question, I would say that the Negro soldier had the better part for he received all along the line of march the greatest ovation, from white as well as black. All regiments of the Illinois National Guards, received their share of the applause from the spectators and most especially the 7th Regiment led by that gallant fighting Col. Dan. Moriarty and his efficient staff. But listen we forgot that we were Colored men, when the White citizens, men women and children doffed their hats, waved their flags, and gave applause after applause. Long live the day known as Decoration Day. May it reign until peace and good will toward all mankind cover the earth. Last Saturday was a historical day; a day of decorations of the respectful dead, by the respectful living. If you would truly understand the meaning of it all. You have but to refresh your memory and recall to mind these pathetic words as they fell from the lips of Him, the first fruits of those who sleep. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remissions for sins. Greater love hath no man than this, than for a man to lay down his life for his brethren." And this last general appeal to all nations. In the garden of Gethsemmane. "Put up thy sword, he that slays with the sword, shall by the sword be slain." Memorial day is a reminder of past achievements and noble sacrifices made by those to whom honor is given, all over this Christian nation and United country, and so may it be. For this reason, May 30th, is set apart throughout the length and breadth of this country, as "Decoration Day," a day of patriotism and national honor, a day of unity and oneness of purpose. To keep alive for the nation's children, the accomplishments and deeds of those who paid the price for your and my liberty, for your and my peace and happiness and the liberty, peace and happiness of generations yet unborn. When thinking of what such a day means to the nation and to us we would be traitors to the cause of freedom if we so far forgot ourselves as not to hoist upon each residence, business institution and public building in the country, the red, white and blue—the stars and stripes; the flag for which our soldiers died in justification of the constitution and the laws, and that in this country we might have "one law, one flag and one union. One and insenable." The Lyric writer caught the inspiration, when he wrote these lines, as her children were decorating, the graves of the silent dead, all over the grand old state, I caught the strains which harmonizes with the sacred acts of the living, and the interpretations as expressed in the songs, vibrating and articulating to the intelligence of our ears, that caused the hearts of men to beat with martial sirs of "By Thy Rivers Gently Flowing, Illinois, Illinois, O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois, Comes an Echo on the breeze, rustling thro' the leafy trees. And its mellow tones are these Illinois. And its mellow tones are these, Illinois. called upon to answer this question, I would say that the Negro soldier had the better part for he received all along the line of march the greatest ovation, from white as well as black. All regiments of the Illinois National Guards, received their share of the applause from the spectators and most especially the 7th Regiment led by that gallant fighting Col. Dan. Moriarty and his efficient staff. But listen we forgot that we were Colored men, when the White citizens, men women and children doffed their hats, waved their flags, and gave applause after applause to that splendid 8th regiment, led by that Son of Texas and his staff, Colonel Franklin A. Denison, Company B. of this Regiment led by Captain E. Alexander the first company of Major Hunt's Battallion received more applause than any other Company in the whole line of march, not accepting any. The Uniform Rank of The Colored Knight's of Pythians were very much in evidence. The Colored Boys Scouts affiliated with and are now a part of the United States, boy scouts (White) received some of the honors and most especially when the crowd saw the two little tots, 7, and 8 years old, with their swords dragging the ground, each one of them walking along side of two of our city police officers, as if to give them a soldiers protection. This was one of the marvels of the parade. The other one was the Colored boy mascot, uniformed, one treasured deep in the hearts of every member of the Chicago marines corps, and one who felt the dignity of his position. Providence may some day make him the Perry of the American Navy, who knows? Stranger things than this has happened, two other nations why not this one? Great respect was shown the members of the Grand Army Colored Veterans, whose hairs were growing white with age. Some of them making their last march, their presence telling its last story, the story of the Civil War. A war of freedom. Again this demonstration should remind every citizen of this republic every member of every race who comes to live upon her soil, every individual who looks to her for support. Every man, woman, and child who expects to be comforted should so live and move, and act, as to make this truly a nation "Of the people, by the people and for the people." Then let men set aside their hypocritical dispositions. Let them try at least, to be truthful and honest with one another, for the nation's good and their own personal safety. Let us ever keep in mind these words of Lincoln in his first inaugural address. "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies, though passion may have strained, it must not break our bond of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriotic grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." "Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God will that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, 'The judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.' Let us fellow citizens, keep sacred these truths of his, in conclusion. 'With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right. Let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphans—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among our selves, and with all nations.'" Mr. E. H. Brown, one of our Hyde Park chauffeurs was engaged last week, to make an overland trip to Indianapolis, Indiana, the trip was made in "A MOON CAR," they returned Tuesday morning, in good condition. Being employed by one of the prominent White families in Hyde Park. --- In the 63rd street bank crash, our friend, Mr. Chas. Robinson, Prop. of The Robinson's Van Teaming and Express Company got caught for several thousand dollars. He has been assured however by the committee of six gentlemen, who has the adjustment of affairs in hand, that he will not loose one cent, he shall be paid dollar for dollar, as soon as matters can be settled which will cover all deposits. Mrs. James Saunders of 5330 Kenwood avenue, entertained a few of her friends at her residence on the evening of June 1st. Among those present were Mrs. Alvin Martin, and Mrs. Albert Brown. The Hyde Park Charity club met at the residence of Mrs. Lucy Coleman, a large number were present for the purpose of re-organization which was carried out, by the election of their former president, Mrs. Eva Raymore. "A day in the woods," a unique drama, under the successful management of Mr. I. E. Franklin, was given for the benefit of the Cloytee Scott settlement, was a rare treat to the Colored people of Hyde Park. The entertainment under the management of Mrs. Rosa Fuschea, given at the Hyde Park A. M. E. Church, was also a phenomenal success, the rendition of the musical numbers were excellent, the guests went home well pleased. Mrs. John Webb, has moved from 5137 Lake Park avenue, to 5535 Kimbark avenue. CHIPS Miss Clara Phelps, daughter of Mrs. Nellie Phelps, 31 W. 51st street, has spent the past week at Dwight, Ill., with relatives and friends. She will return home Sunday morning.

PROFESSOR JACQUES LOEB ON RACIAL INFERIORITY PROFESSOR JACQUES LOEB ON RACIAL INFERIORITY Great Mental Powers Are Not Limited to Special Races, He Says. New York.—Professor Jacques Loeb of Columbia university in this city was prevented by illness from attending the recent conference of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held in Baltimore. The subject assigned to Professor Loeb was "Heredity and Racial Inferiority." Here are a few extracts from the address prepared by Professor Loeb for the occasion: The modern work on heredity has shown that hereditary characters are as a rule not linked, but are transmitted independently of each other. It is therefore contrary to all known facts to say that with a pigmented skin or with a certain type of eyes must necessarily be connected a lower degree of intelligence or moral control. Practically nothing is known concerning the mechanism or the heredity of mental or moral traits. It seems that certain talents run in certain families—that is to say, unusual mathematical ability, musical ability and talent for drawing. All known facts indicate that they are not limited to special races, but that they are the peculiarity of certain strains or families, independently of race. We do not even know to what extent the development of mental and moral traits depends upon the condition of the brain and the nervous system alone, and to what extent upon the action of chemical substances produced in other organs of the body in the form of internal secretions. Until this is settled all positive statements A. B. PROFESSOR JAQUES LOEB. concerning the heredity of mental and moral traits remain unwarranted. It is an open question whether with equal facilities and equal care the children of different races would show widely different mental and moral development. The statement expressed so often that intermarriage or mixture of races leads to degeneracy is unwarranted and contradicted, to some extent at least, by recent investigations. The experiments of Burbank, East and S. shall have proved conclusively that race mixture may improve the breed. In view of these and other considerations the writer is of the opinion that it is not only contrary to justice, but also contrary to scientific facts to deny the colored people equal rights and equal economic, social and educational facilities with the whites.

Nashville, Tenn.-At a special meeting of the Sunday school congress official board and the National Baptist Publishing board recently held it was decided that the Nashville delegation to the ninth annual meeting of the Sunday school congress to be held in Beaumont, Tex., would leave Nashville on Monday night, June 8, or early Tuesday morning June 9. It was decided to go by way of the New Orleans gateway. The secretary of the Sunday school congress stated that an effort would be made to have a special train this year as heretofore and that in view of the fact that selections of delegations were coming in so fast the prospects were that a special train would be necessary. He also stated that he did not know how many of the northern and eastern delegates would come through Nashville, but that he had received several letters from points north and east asking if it were possible to go by way of Nashville. He has replied to each, saying that this information would have to be given to them by the various railroad representatives. The committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors are the members of the executive committee, which is composed of Drs. Gibson, Bendy and Williamson and Professor J. P. Eugene. The chairmen of the various committees are: Arrangements, Dr. M. E. Robinson; reception, Dr. C. H. McDade; entertainment, Dr. M. Hurd; decoration, Dr. W. H. Holland; music, Professor L. L. Prater and Joseph D. Turner; homes, J. R. Jacobs; assignment, Professor Thomas T. Pollard and J. P. Eugene; solicitation, John H. Rhone. With these active workers already in line the work of the congress is in safe hands. WELL MANAGED SCHOOL Progress of the Utica Institute Under Professor W. H. Holtzclaw. Utica, Miss.-The Utica institute, located four miles south of here, is recognized as one of the leading institutions in the south for the education and advancement of Afro-American boys and girls. Under the wise management of the president, Professor William H. Holtzclaw, the school is meeting the needs of its large student body in a most satisfactory way. Seeing the great need of industrial education in the south, Mr. Holtzclaw struggled strenuously under difficulties to plant a school to give the young people, especially of Mississippi, a chance to acquire such an education as would fit them for making their way through life. During its eleven years of existence the school has done a wonderful and commendable work. Graduates of the school since its establishment are filling nearly every position in the walk of life with honor to themselves and credit to their alma mater. The enrolment this year was over 500, coming from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Cuba and Mississippi. The high class work done by the institution places it in the front rank. Perhaps nowhere in this country can be found an institution that is more alive to the needs and best interests of its students. The character of its work was clearly shown in the fact that at the state fair held in Jackson, Miss., in October, 1913, the school won first prizes for nearly every department exhibit, notwithstanding every school in the state was represented, and the Utica Normal and Industrial institute was the younger of them all. The faculty of the school consists of thirty-two well trained young men and women, some of whom are graduates of some of the leading institutions of learning in this country: Professor Holtzclaw was born of humble parentage on a farm in Randolph county, Ala. Starting with such education as was offered him in his home county he made his way to Tuskegee institute, where he worked during the day and went to school at night for four years, when he graduated from that institution with honors. The school held its commencement exercises recently. Ten young people received diplomas and certificates. This is the largest number of graduates ever sent out from the school at one time. Annual Meeting of Good Samaritans. The forty-third annual meeting of the New Jersey state grand lodge of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans will be held at Long Branch, beginning on Wednesday morning, June 3, at 10 o'clock. Large delegations from the various subordinate lodges will be in attendance. The address of welcome will be delivered by Dr. William B. Scott, deputy for the fifth district. Miss Estell Doucey and Mrs. Grace Hall, head workers in the juvenile department, will render their annual reports at the evening session on Wednesday, June 3. Good Work For Jenike Orphanage. The closing exercise of the Jenike Orphanage institute in Charlesston, S. C., will be held on Monday evening, June 1. In the orphanage building on Franklin street. The institution has had a very successful year in all of its work, notwithstanding the increase in the number of pupils and the heavy financial responsibility under which the managers have had to labor in order to maintain its dignity and the good will of the public.
