The Broad Ax

The Headquarters of the Illinois State Commission After a Long and Persistent Fight on the Part of Julius F. Taylor Has Been Removed from the Institutional Church to 125 North La Salle Street IT IS SAID THAT THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN USED BAD OR UNGENTLEMANLY LANGUAGE OVER THE TELEPHONE TO BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS BECAUSE HE WAS IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE HEADQUARTERS—THAT AFTER BISHOP FALLOWS HAD HUNG UP THE TELEPHONE RECEIVER ON HIM AND WAS UTTERLY DISGUSTED WITH HIS COARSE AND BRUTAL LANGUAGE. THAT THE REV. HON. ARCHIBALD JACKSON CAREY, PH. D. D. D., CALLED UP BISHOP FALLOWS AND EXCITEDLY ACCUSED HIM OF BEING A COWARD AND A TRIMMER SIMPLY BECAUSE THE GOOD BISHOP FAVORED CHANGING THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE STATE COMMISSION. IT IS PURTHER MAINTAINED THAT THE FURNITURE AND OTHER PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WHICH HAD BEEN LOCATED IN INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH WAS LOCKED UP IN A ROOM THE WINDOWS NAILED UP THAT THE EXPRESSMAN AND OTHERS HAVING CHARGE OF THE MOVING EXPERIENCED MUCH DIFFICULTY IN GETTING OR SNEAKING IT AWAY FROM WITHIN THE SHADOW OF INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH AND ITS POLITICAL PASTOR. IT IS AN OLD SAYING WHICH SEEMS TO BE TRUE AT THE PRESENT TIME THAT "WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY THEY FIRST MAKE MAD," THAT THE ILLINOIS STATE COMMISSION MUST BE REORGANIZED, THAT MESSRS. CAREY AND SWANN MUST BE SEPARATED FROM ALL OFFICIAL CONNECTION WITH IT, THAT UNLESS GOV. EDWARD F. DUNNE REMOVES THEM FROM OFFICE WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY HE WILL BE SEVERELY CONDEMNED BY THE TAX-PAYING AFRO-AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. REV. E. J. FISHER, PASTOR OF OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH, THE NOBLEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL FROM HIS PULPIT LAST SUNDAY MORNING FIRED MORE RED HOT SHOTS INTO REV. HON. ARCHIBALD JACKSON CAREY, PH. D. D. D., AND THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN, HE STRONGLY INTIMATED "THAT GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF IS IN THE FIGHT BATTLEING ON THE SIDE OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE AND AGAINST WEONG AND OPPRESSION THAT THERE WILL BE NO PEACE NOR HARMONY AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE IN THIS STATE UNTIL REV. DR. CAREY AND T. W. SWANN ARE BEMOVED FROM THE COMMISSION." THAT "THERE ARE ONE MILLION AND A HALF MORE COLORED BAPSTIST IN THIS COUNTRY THAN COLORED METHODIST THAT AS FIRST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BAPSTIST CONVENTION THAT HE HIMSELF AND THE OTHER BAPSTIST DIVINES HAVE BEEN INGORED AND GROSSLY INSULTED IN NOT BEING PERMITTED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RELIGIOUS WORK IN CONNECTION WITH THE CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM IN 1915." THAT "REV. DR. A. J. CAREY HAD THE BRAZEN FACED AFFRONTERY AND AUDACITY WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE BUT HIMSELF SELECTED A NON-RESIDENT METHODIST BISHOP AND PLACED HIM AT THE HEAD OF THE RELIGIOUS WORK SO AS TO FEATHER HIS OWN NEST AND TO MAKE HIMSELF STRONG WITH THE BISHOP OF THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE DISTRICT OF CHICAGO." REV. FISHER AGAIN COMMENDED THE BROAD AX AND PRAISED ITS EDITOR FOR THE GALLANT FIGHT IT IS MAKING IN FAVOR OF UPRIGHT AND HONORABLE MEN AS LEADERS OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN RACE. Vol. XIX.

CAREY HAD SULTING ANYONE BUT HIMS HIM AT THE HEAD OF THE HIMSELF STRONG WITH THE REV. FISHER AGAIN COMMENDED IT IS MAKING IN FAVOR OF U CAN RACE. Once more we wish to inform the whole world that we do not entertain the slightest personal ill feeling or dislike for the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, but we honestly feel deep down in our heart of hearts that in every way they are far from being the true leaders or the proper representatives of the Afro-American race and all of the gods in the high heavens and the devils in the bottomless pit of perdition cannot convince us otherwise. In order to make our position or contention perfectly clear on that point, so that the thousands of readers of this paper may distinctly understand just what we are driving at the following is reproduced from these columns of September 27, 1913, and June 6, 1914. "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 he has 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 spotted 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 Archibald 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 HEW TO; THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY 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." With these preliminary observations we will proceed to approach the main subject before us for discussion. One week ago today if some one would have raked this city from end to end with a fine tooth comb it would have been impossible to have found twenty Colored people residing in it who could have been convinced that less than a week from that time the headquarters of the Illinois State Commission would be removed from the Institutional Church, after a long and persistent fight had been made by the writer, single handed, and alone in favor of its removal. Bishop Samuel Fallows, president of the State Commission, was the first to run up the white flag and right here we want to say that it is a thousand times too bad that Bishop Fallows ever permitted himself to get mixed up with the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, and if he fails to absolutely rid himself of all alliance with them at once they will eventually pull him down in the mire with themselves. On Thursday or Friday afternoon of last week the members of the State Commission met in room 537 County building and while the Rev. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann were engaged in figuring on moving on Peoria, Illinois, where the first named gentleman was the chief orator of the day CHICAGO, JULY 11, 1914 at the Republican emancipation celebration held in that city, Saturday, July 4th, where they expected to pick up some real easy money, the State Commission after transacting much other important business passed a resolution in favor of removing its headquarters from the Institutional Church to 125 N. La Salle Street, thereby finally adhering to the sound advice which we have endeavored to drive into the thick heads of the members of the State Commission for the past year. It is said that when the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann really learned what was happening that he used very bad or ungentlemanly language over the telephone to Bishop Fallows because he was in favor of changing the headquarters that after Bishop Fallows had hung up the telephone receiver on him and was utterly disgusted with his coarse and brutal language which is only used by tinchorn gamblers and political tramps—that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., called up Bishop Fallows and excitedly accused him of being a coward and a trimmer, simply because the good Bishop favored changing the headquarters of the State Commission. It is further maintained that the furniture and other property belonging to the State of Illinois which had been located in the Institutional Church was locked up in a room, the windows nailed up so that Mr. Dorch, the expressman, and his assistants having charge of the moving experienced much difficulty in getting or sneaking the property, belonging to the great State of Illinois, away from within the shadow of the Institutional Church and its bold-faced political pastor. The Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann felt so chagrined over the removal of the headquarters of the State Commission that it seemed hard for them to fully realize the fact that there is an old saying which apparently is true at the present, namely, that "whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad," that the Illinois State Commission must be reorganized, that Messrs. Carey and Swann must be separated from all official connection with it, that unless Governor Edward F. Dunne removes them from office without further delay he will be severely condemned by the tax-paying Afro-Americans throughout the state of Illinois. Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, who is the noblest Roman of them all, who possesses an independent mind of his own and no man nor all the host of satan cannot successfully cower him down for he fears no living individual nor the very devil himself. From his pulpit last Sunday morning he fired more redhot shots into the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, he strongly intimated that "God Almighty Himself, is in the fight, battling on the side of right and justice and against wrong and oppression of every kind; that there will be no peace nor harmony among the Colored people in this state until Rev. Dr. Carey and T. W. Swann are removed from the State Commission." That "there are one million and a half more Colored Baptists in this country than Colored Methodists; that as the first Vice-President of the National Baptist Convention, that he, himself, and the other leading Baptist Divines have been ignored and grossly insulted in not being permitted to have anything to do with the religious work in connection with the celebration with the fifty years of freedom among the Colored people in this State in 1915. That "Rev. Dr. Carey had the brazen faced affrontery and the audacity without consulting anyone but himself, selected a non-resident Methodist Bishop and placed him at the head of the religious work so as to be able to feather his own nest and to make himself solid with the Bishop of the A. M. E. conference district of Chicago." Rev. Fisher again commended The Broad Ax and praised its editor for the gallant fight it is making in favor of upright and honorable men as leaders of the Afro-American race. GOOD GOVERNMENT CITIZENS MASS MEETING WILL BE HELD AT OLIVET BAPIST CHURCH MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13. BEAUREGARD F. MOSELEY WILL BE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS. RESOLUTIONS SHOULD BE PASSED CALLING ON GOVERNOR EDWARD F. DUNNE TO REMOVE REV. A. J. CAREY AND T. W. SWANN FOR ABUSING AND USING VILE LANGUAGE OVER THE TELEPHONE IN THEIR RECENT TALKS TO BISHOP SAMUEL PALLOWS. Monday evening, July 13, a good Government Citizens Mass meeting will be held at Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn streets, and men, women and children are cordially invited to attend the meeting. Attorney Beauregard F. Moseley will be one of the speakers. Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of the church, will also unbosom himself of some very plain truths on that occasion. Resolutions should be passed, at the meeting calling on Governor Edward F. Dunne to forthwith remove Rev. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann from the Commission. For recently they used vile and abusive language talking to Bishop Samuel Fallowls over the telephone. It it said that Mr. Swann cursed him out, calling him a damn B. of a B.—and a bustard, that he had no right to 1890 HON. WILLIAM SULZER The Peoples candidate for Government platform follows: "Beat the bosses, save care of the taxpayers, give labor a life pollution of the courts of Justice, protect and progressive legislation, perpetuate press free schools, enforce equal rights anyone." The Peoples candidate for Governor of the great State of New York, his platform follows: "Beat the bosses, stop the stealing, get the grafters, take care of the taxpayers, give labor a lift and a square deal to all, prevent the pollution of the courts of Justice, promote the social and the general welfare and progressive legislation, perpetuate our free institutions, free speech, free press free schools, enforce equal rights to all and stop special privileges to anyone." remove the headquarters of the State Commission from Institutional church. It is also claimed that Rev. Carey branded Bishop Fallows, who bravely and heroically fought in the Union Army to assist to bring freedom to the Negro and who stands at the head of the Grand Army of the Republic as a coward and a trimmier, unfit to serve as president of the Illinois State Commission. Therefore, if Gov. Dunne fails to remove Rev. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann in short order from their connection with the State Commission, he should be held in utter contempt by the better class of White and Colored citizens throughout the state of Illinois. DEATH OF FORMER MAYOR FRED A. BUSSE. Shortly before noon, on Thursday morning, former Mayor Fred A. Busse, after a very severe spell of illness, passed away at his elegant home, 4852 Sheridan Road. He was to the manor born; being born in this city in 1866. For many years he was successfully engaged in the wholesale coal business and by strict attention to business he accumulated a large fortune. He faithfully served the city as postmaster, prior to that he held other positions of public trusts of less importance. In 1907 he was elected Mayor of Chicago and gave its citizens a thorough up-to-date business administration in every respect; planning and making many public improvements for the lasting benefit of all. The writer had the honor of inducing Mayor Fred A. Busse to improve and electric light Armour Avenue and Dearborn street from 39th Street to Garfield Boulevard. Mr. Busse had a brisk bluff way about on After a F. Taylor ch to 125 or of the great State of New York, his stop the stealing, get the grafters, take it and a square deal to all, prevent the note the social and the general welfare our free institutions, free speech, free ts to all and stop special privileges to him. Notwithstanding this fact he possessed a warm and sympathetic heart, he was ever ready to stop and crack a joke with those whom he knew real well. He was true to his friends and always bitterly fought his political opponents to the last ditch. ROSENWALD SENDS $25,000 CHECK TO NEGRO Y. M. C. A. KANSAS CITY INSTITUTION FOR COLOBED MEN ADDED TO LIST OF BENEFACTIONS OF CHICAGO PHILANTHROPIST. Julius Rosenwald has sent his check for $25,000 toward the erection of a building for Negro men by the Young Men's Christian Association of Kansas City. This is the fifth city to receive a like sum for Young Men's Christian Association buildings for Negroes. Besides Kansas City, they are Washington, D. C., Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Chicago. It was stated in the last issue of The Broad Ax that Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, defrailed all of his expenses when he made a trip to Springfield, Ill., in June, 1913, to speak in favor of appropriating money to enable the Colored people in this state to celebrate their freedom in 1915. That in part was not true as he was furnished with transportation to and from Springfield. SOLDIERS DAY AT THE STANDARD LITERARY SOCIETY. At the Olivet Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p. m.

Washington BRAD THIS COLUMN Hyde Park has never been stirred as it was during the week of July 1st to 4th, inclusive. It was because there was a fair and baby show at the Clotee Scott Settlement. There was something of interest each evening. On July 3rd Miss Rena Love, 4719 Evans Ave., won a beautiful rocker, as a result of having the largest number of votes. Miss Fannie Lacey had the next largest amount, receiving a cut glass dish. On July 4th there was a baby show and contest. This was the greatest night of all. Parents who had never been to the settlement before came to see if baby would win the $5.00 as being the most beautiful. Helen Henderson, 18 months old, 5624 Lake Park Ave., won the $5.00. Alberta Crawford won a beautiful silver set as second prize, she lives at 4525 Evans Ave. Leroy Brooks, Jr., 5219 Lake Park Ave., won a pretty little baby plate as third prize, also a nice baby dress as prize for the most beautiful baby. May Tribute, 3 months old, 5338 Kenwood Ave., won fourth prize, and by the Judges is the second beautiful baby in Hyde Park. Many in the audience thought that May was the most beautiful baby in the contest. We are proud to say that all the youngsters are fine babies and looks good for the coming generation. This show proved beyond all doubt that the Negro race is certainly not guilty of committing race suicide—a charge too often made. There are more than 30 babies in a radius of ten blocks, under 3 years old, in Hyde Park, this speaks pretty good for a small Colored community. Some of the prominent people of the city were present. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Miss Taylor, Mr. Theodore Taylor, Dr. Mozee, Mrs. Shepard, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson of 5476 Woodlawn Ave., Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Ledford of 5336 Kenwood Ave., Mrs. Clemons, Mrs. L. W. Washington, Mrs. James Saunders, Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Franklin and many others. The object of the fair was to stir up race pride and community interest among Afro-Americans who live in Hyde Park. The fair was a splendid success. Mr. E. H. Brown of 5526 Engleside Ave., left the 'city July 7th to visit Jackson Crystal Springs, Hazlehurst, Miss, and New Orleans, La. He will return after a two weeks' stay. The Hyde Park Hotels are being well supplied with students from the various schools. Instead of Long Branch, as of old, its Chicago, the greatest summer resort in the world. One of the efficient clerks in the Juvenile department is Mrs. Jackson of 5476 Woodlawn Ave. She has been holding this position for several years. Mrs. George Goode, the progressive head-waiter of the Windemere hotel, is a graduate of Tuskegee Institution. Miss Sallie B. Lyons, one of our young school teachers of Franklin, Ky., is here visiting her aunt, Mrs. Clemons, and other relatives. She is stopping at 5470 Kenwood Ave. The ladies of Hyde Park have organized a new club, the name of which it is known by is the Hyde Park Voluntary Club. Mrs. Emma Colman, Pres.; Mrs. Edward McQuary, Vice Pres.; Mrs. M. Martin, Secy.; Mrs. McQuary, Asst. Secy., and Mrs. E. H. Brown, Treas. --- The 4th of July was celebrated out here as a Gala day. Out in Jackson and Washington Parks the people were dressed in their summer white. The green foliage never looked more beautiful. The American flags, as suggested some time ago, was displayed everywhere, in shop windows, on theaters, workshops and residences. In fact, sane as it was, the old red, white and blue was much in evidence. The spirit of patriotism that came before our vision came from noble hearts as well as a sane and generous intelligence. The beaches were crowded with visitors from all parts of the city. And the plunge in the lake was all that one could expect on a hot summer day. Bethel Christian Endeavor had an outing, base ball and other games were the feature of the occasion. The ladies' game of base ball as well as the men. Mrs. Bata Graham, Supt. of the Hyde Park A. M. E. Sunday School, is contemplating giving a picnic some time in the near future for the children, and desires to see the children's parents next Sunday at 3:30 p. m. at 5539 Harper Ave., so don't fail to attend Sunday School. THE HIGH CLASS STAG. This evening a high class stag will be given in the parlor of the Appomattox Club, 3441 Wabash Ave., in honor of Mr. H. Binge of the Chicago University, who has broke all records in the past in the quarter of a mile dash at Dayton, Ohio, July 4. STOLE 50 CENTS; GOT 50 YEARS. Alabama Negro Freed by Governor After Serving 20 Years. Mobile, Ala., July 9—Fifty years for stealing 50 cents. That is the sentence that a Hale county (Ala.) jury imposed on Frank Williams, a Negro, who in 1894 robbed another Negro of a half dollar. After serving more than 20 years of the 50-year sentence, Williams was freed by Gov. Neal last night. After reading the above, wouldn't you venture your fortune that there is no state in the civilized world or the savage world, as for that, that can excel Alabama in the unfairness and injustice of her laws and their administration when applied to the Negro, and no governor who, like Gov. Neal, could expect praise for pardoning a Negro who was serving 50 years for stealing 50 cents after he had served out 20 years of the time! OFFICIAL CALL WESTERN NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION CALLED. WILL MEET AT MUSKOGEE AUGUST 18TH AND 19TH. To the Members of the Western Negro Press Association: By virtue of the power vested in me as your elected president I hereby call the Association to meet in its 16th annual session in the City of Muskogee, Oklahoma, August 18th and 19th, 1914, for the purpose of transacting the business of the Association, electing officers and discussing such public questions as may be brought before the Association.

Mrs. Mollie Harris, assistant superintendent, will preside during her absence.

The boys now have their suits. HON. S. B. TURNER, CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE. IS HE TRUE TO ANYONE? Did he not head the first committee to go over to see his pastor, Dr. E. J. Fisher, and ask him on Saturday night about three months ago to enter the race for the legislature from the same district that he (Hon. S. B. Turner) is announcing his candidacy, and did he not head the delegation to see Senator Brady, Hon. George F. Harding-and Hon. Oscar DePriest, urging their endorsement of Dr. E. J. Fisher, his pastor, as a Republican candidate, and did he not take his pastor's petitions to be filled and returned in one week, and then kept them three weeks and returned them just last Monday, after he had announced himself as a candidate for the same position, without a single signature to them?

TUSKEGEE BOARD MEETS Trustees of Noted School Encouraged Dr. Washington's Report. New York City.-The annual meeting of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute board of trustees was held at the rooms of the general education board of the Rockefeller foundation, in this city, the last week in June. Among the members present were the Hon Seth Low, New York city, chairman; Mr Julius Rosenwald, Chicago; Mr William C. Willcox, New York city; Mr Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr C. Ware, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. William Jay Schieffelin, New York city; Mr V. H Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott, Philadelphia; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer, and Mr. Emett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee institute, Ala. There were present also at the meeting Mr. Charles H. Gibson chief accountant, and Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries, Tuskegee institute. Major R. R. Moton of the Hampton institute, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeannes fund board and Hon. J. C. Napier, former register of the United States treasury, were invited to sit with the board during its proceedings. The most important section of the board was the election of three new trustees, Mr. George McAney, president of the board of aldermen, New York city, succeeding the late Robert C. Ogden; Mr. Edward A. Bancroft, chief counsel of the International Harvester company, Chicago, Ill., succeeding the late Dr. John C. Grant of Chicago, and Dr. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity church, Boston. The institute's budget for the year 1914-15 calling for an appropriation approximating $290,000 was approved. The effectiveness of the institute's work in the south in rural school building and its leadership in urging its students to develop farming colonies were matters of especial mention. The report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of the institute was listened to with particular interest, and his recommendation calling for a retiring fund for Tuskegee institute teachers and other matters of especial interest with regard to the institute's work during the past year received the special consideration of the board. It is the plan to print and circulate Dr. Washington's report as a separate publication early in the fall. The report shows that altogether the school has received from all sources during the past twelve months for current expenses, permanent improvements, additions to the endowment and for special purposes $473,764.22, an increase of $116,432, or 32 per cent over the past year's receipts. The report of the principal and treasurer showed that 849 colored people had contributed toward the expenses of the Tuskegee institute during the past year. While it is not a matter legally or directly connected with the work of the institute, nevertheless a plan was launched at the meeting by which 1,750 acres of land have been purchased near the institute with a view of encouraging young colored men, preferably graduated from the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute, to settle and become farmers. The money to purchase the land outright was provided, and the land is now being surveyed for the purpose of erecting houses on it for prospective purchasers. It is the idea to make a model Negro farming settlement. On the tract of land are already a gin, store and railroad station. In addition to securing the money for paying for this land, the money was subscribed to pay all the expenses in connection with operating the experiments for a given period. During the meeting of the board of trustees in New York city news was published in the New York newspapers that the Tuskegee institute is to receive $50,000 under the will of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. BELIEVES IN FAIR PLAY. Miss Maud Reynolds Corrects Mistake Regarding Home For Wayward Girls. Roanoke, Va.—In a letter to H. C.

I am not the author of that wish to take honors which do not belong to me. This institution is being established by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs under the leadership Mrs. J. Barrett of Hampton, Va. I am simply one of the officers, working for the cause. I regret very seriously that the mistake has been published, and I hope that the above corrections will place me in the proper light before the public. Re MISS) MAUD REYNOLDS. Roanoke, Va. Meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board. The executive committee meeting of the Jeanes fund board was held in the rooms of the general education board in New York recently, with the following named members present: Dr. Booker T.

BELIEVES IN HIS PEOPLE. Scholarly Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Pays Fine Tribute to Business Tact of Bishop Payne. Educational Work of the Denomination Covers Wide Field. Washington.—The great educational work that is being done by the African Methodist Episcopal church is largely stimulated by one of its most prominent laymen, who did a remarkable work for the denomination as secretary of education. In this position Dr. John R. Hawkins became one of the leading educators of the race. Having demonstrated his ability as a financier worthy of any office that his great denomination could bestow upon him, he was elected at the last general conference of this body as financial secretary and was the first layman to be honored in this manner by this connection. Dr. Hawkins is always the principal speaker at the educational congresses of the various conferences of the church, and in speaking recently of the remarkable progress the race is making along educational lines he said: "But the most striking feature of this subject is that which relates to the spirit of 'self help' manifested by the colored people toward establishing and maintaining schools for themselves, schools for our youths, with all colored teachers, colored presidents, colored trustees and supported by con- ```markdown ``` DR. JOHN R. HAWKINS. tributions principally from colored people. First among these is the African Methodist Episcopal church, which has set the pace for all other denominations in this field of work. "It was a bold undertaking on the part of Bishop Payne when he signed a contract to pay $10,000 without knowing where he could get the first ten dollar bill. But he knew that behind him was a great church with a following of loyal people with great hopes and great possibilities. That obligation was met, and since then this noble man has gone on from one field to another laughing at opposition, removing obstacles, overcoming difficulties and establishing and maintaining schools and colleges. "Today the church stands before the world with twenty-four schools, 5,575 students, 224 teachers and school property valued at $1,650,000. To maintain these schools it is necessary to provide for current expenses of at least $300,000, which is done by voluntary contributions from the members and friends of the church from year to year. "I do it not boastingly when I tell to the world the story of our rise and progress, either as a race or as one special church organization of a certain race. A better idea of what the A. M. E. church is doing as an organization may be had when I tell you that one of the greatest demonstrations of our financial worth is shown in the business of the financial department of the A. M. E. church. There has been reported to this office alone during the fiscal year for which I have just given an account $221,056.75, which represents an increase over last year of $13,135.84. "This item does not include any money reported at our annual conferences or for any purpose whatever except that classed as 'dollar money.' If we add to our 'dollar money' collections all the funds raised and reported at our annual conferences we will show a table of business for one year of at least $1,500,000. "I am sure this is a splendid showing for one church organization of a baby race. This is but a part of the Negro's contribution to the uplift of humanity, for in these fifty years the colored people have, with courage and faith in God and in themselves, come bravely to the altar of duty and laid upon it their contributions with unmeasured cheerfulness." WILBERFORCE HEADS LIST. Sbme Facts About the Origin of a Noted School In Ohio. One of the leading magazines of the country, printed in Boston, speaking of Wilberforce university says: "The auditor of the state of Ohio announces that a monthly article will be issued describing the activities of the various departments and institutions of Ohio. The one for July is devoted to Wilberforce university and deals with the progress that has been made in Ohio in the education of the colored race. "The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts Union seminary, near Columbus, was organized in 1844. That Payne was one of the great benefactors of his race and had rare foresight is shown by the fact that the school was started on the manual training plan. "Union seminary by reason of location and other circumstances made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce university and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. While there are numerous small colleges, there are only about a half dozen great universities in America for the higher education of the Negro race—Atlanta university; Fisk, at Nashville; Howard, at Washington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland, at New Orleans, and Wilberforce, at Xenia—and Wilberforce stands at the head of the list." INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDELY FELT. Militant Organization Continues Campaign Against Unjust Legislation. Louisville, Ky.—The colored people of this city are aroused over the segregation ordinance recently passed and are taking steps to protect their interests. Mr. Chapln Brinmade, the attorney for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, has been here giving the matter the closest study. On July 5 the local branch of the national association held a great meeting of protest, at which Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of Talladega college were the chief speakers. This is the association which investigated segregation in government departments at Washington, and largely through its efforts that undemocratic movement was checked. In Baltimore, through its local branch, it has twice won segregation cases, the last time before the supreme court of the state. It is now preparing to carry a case brought under the new ordinance in Baltimore to the supreme court of the United States. In Kansas City, where the homes of the colored people were dynamited in order to make them move from a desirable neighborhood, which they owned and had developed and improved, they were unable to obtain redress from city or state authorities until the National association intervened. The association stands for equality of opportunity, equality in the courts, the civil and political rights of the colored man. Its membership includes white and colored. It is not sectional, having branches as far south as Alabama and Texas and numbering among its members representative southern white people. Its board of directors includes some of the most representative people of both races—Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, Miss Mary White Ovington, Miss Florence Kelley, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Dr. J. E. Spingarn and many others. Dr. Spingarn was for ten years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. He is internationally known as a scholar, author and critic. His book of verse, "The New Hesperides," has received high praise, numbering among its admirers the late John Hay, who wrote of it in terms of flattering appreciation. Professor William Pickens is known as a teacher and lecturer. He is an orator of remarkable eloquence. He graduated from Yale with high honors, having been elected commencement speaker. FOR NATIONAL PROTECTION. Independent Political League Prepares For Seventh Annual Convention. The seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, to be held in August, will be in the nature of a national gathering of those colored Americans who believe that, in view of the great discrimination, proscription and persecution of colored persons as such, they should have a national organization of self defense and self protection, as every other racial class suffering from prejudice has. All colored citizens who believe that in every state there should be such a self protection organization and that these should be connected into a national whole are urged to attend and also to communicate their views on the subject at once to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, at 49 Cornell, Boston. The league hopes for a large attendance from all parts of the country, every church and every society being empowered to send delegates on the basis of a manly agitation and use of the ballot. The place of meeting will be announced later. LEAGUE SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING Westchester County (N. Y.) Citizens Hold Big Convention. PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. Only Through Organization Can Negroes Combat Forces Now Pressing Hard Against Them—Work of National Association For Advancement Warmly Commended In Resolution. Yonkers, N. Y.-The Westchester County Negro league recently held its annual convention at McCann's hall in this city under auspicious circumstances. Delegates were present from the following cities and towns in the county: Peekskill, Croton Point, Ossining, Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Port Chester, Rye and Yonkers. The personnel of the convention was made up of a representative class of the Negro citizens of these localities. The purpose of the meeting was stated by the president, Paul H. Bray of this city. In a brief address President Bray gave a resume of the work done by J. E. H. PAUL H. BRAY. the league during the six years of its existence and urged upon the delegates the importance of putting forth greater efforts in the future. There is greater need for unity of action among the Negroes today than ever before in the history of the race since the war, said Mr. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing us backward. We must check this, and there is only one way to do it, and that is through organization. Every loyal colored man in the county should be an active member of the Westchester Negro league, he continued. It is indeed very encouraging to note that we have enlisted in our cause before the country such eminent and influential persons as Hon. Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ewing. Jr., who is the present United States commissioner of patients; Mrs. La Follette, wife of the Wisconsin senator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota and Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington. Among the many important matters that commanded the attention of the convention was a plan for the organization of a woman's auxiliary to the league, which was proposed and explained by Mr. Harvey of Mount Vernon. The members took up the plan with enthusiasm and unanimously adored it. Mr. Stephen A. Bennett of Yonkers offered a resolution which cited the alarming and acute conditions confronting the Negro in the country. It emphasized the need for a united effort on the part of every Negro in Westchester county. The work being done by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was specially commended. The officers are: Paul H. Bray, Yonkers, president; A. B. Young, Ossining, vice president; Chris Pryor, White Plains, corresponding secretary; Regional Allen, Yonkers, recording secretary; A. A. Thornton, Yonkers, treasurer; Howard Van Norden, Port Chester, sergeant-at-arms. The selection of the county executive committee was deferred in order to give the president time to consult the wishes of the members in the locality from which the committeemen are to be appointed. Brief and interesting speeches for the good of the league were made by Thomas S. Lane, the only Negro member of the Republican city committee of Yonkers; Sterling Lambert, Jordan Crudup of Yonkers, Samuel B. Halstead of Peekskill, William Nelson and Mr. Moten of Tarrytown, J. W. Owens of White Plains and Howard Van Norden of Port Chester President Bray is well and favorably known throughout the county. He is an active member of several fraternal organizations. He has served as special deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state. At the present time he represents Lincoln lodge No. 17 of this city.
