THOMAS WALLACE SWA WEDNESDAY EVENING THOMAS H TEES OF THE INSTITUTIONAL PEACE AND HARMONY, CALL THE FIGHTING DEVIL'S BLOOD THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCE THE BROAD AX FROM THENO It is more than evident to our mind that public sentiment has set in and like unto the ebb and tide of the mighty ocean it is running very fast against the Rev. Dr A. J. Carey and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, for on Monday evening a good Government Citizens' Public mass meeting was held at the Olivet Baptist Church, it was attended by more than five hundred men and women, the Rev. R. L. Darden, Pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church was the able and eloquent chairman of the meeting and after speeches had been made by Rev. E. J. Fisher, J. T. McLemore, W. H. Smith, L. W. Washington, Mort Shoecraft and Julius P. Tavier, in relation to the race of the Rev. E. J. Fisher for the Legislature of Illinois from the 1st senatorial district, B. W. Pitts who is a tax payer and he is also successfully engaged in the printing business at 3315 South State street, who is a manly man and no man's slave read the following resolutions and moved their adoption and they were adopted by the five hundred people present without a dissenting voice, to wit: The Resolutions 1. Whereas the Illinois State Legislature appropriated June 19, 1913, $25,000.00 to the Afro-Americans in the State of Illinois to give an exposition in the year 1915 celebrating the 50 years of freedom and nothing has been done in one year with the present expenditure of nearly $8,000.00 to warrant the public or the Negroes to support the said proposed exposition and, 2. Whereas Governor Edward F. Dunne has appointed on the State Commission Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann, who have caused the excessive expenditure of this money appropriated, that the said Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann do not represent the wishes and best interests of the Colored people of the State of Illinois and further are not qualified to hold their present positions on the Illinois State Commission, and further the said T. W. Swann and Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, so we have been informed, insulted Bishop Samuel Fallows, President of the State Commission, a man who has devoted his life's best interest in behalf of the Negroes of this Country. Therefore, be it resolved that we petition His Excellency Governor Edward F. Dunne to re-organize the Illinois --- State Commission and remove therefrom Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and Thos. Wallace Swann. To curtail the amount expended in wages for help and all other unnecessary expenses, to allow no personal solicitation of funds from the public and that all money subscribed to be forwarded to some National Banking Institution and that there will be account kept thereof for their credit, subject to the vote of the Commission or their official representative. Committee. Rev. R. L. Darden, Pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Chairman; B. W. Fitts, Secretary; J. T. McLemore; W. H. Smith, Frank L. Gale, J. N. Blackshear, L. W. Washington, Rev. W. H. Dorsey. For some cause or other Col. Beauregard F. Moseley, failed to show up at the meeting and Teenan Jones one of the head lights of the far famed Elite Cafe, 3030 South State street, claims that Col. Archibald Napoleon Fields has been busily engaged this week in circulating the report around town that Col. Moseley has joined hands with the opposition forces, that on last Sunday afternoon he was observed hobnobbing with Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. The latter part of August, 1913, the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. revived his Old Church Organ, the Chicago Conservator for two issues or just long enough to rake in five hundred to one thousand dollars in real easy money for state printing; it is reported, although it may not be true that he will not attempt that risky feat this year, that Governor Edward F. Dunne will this year or very shortly turn over five hundred to one thousand dollars of state printing to Col. S. B. Turner who is on Chief Justice Harry Olson's "black list" for the first part of this year Chief Justice Olson issued orders which were published in the Chicago Tribune against permitting Col. Turner to sign any more bonds in the Municipal Courts. If our memory serves us correctly several years ago Col. Turner was yanked into the federal courts in this city charged with attempting to sell or make his "get away" with $40,000 to $50,000 worth of notes belonging to CHICAGO, JULY 18, 1914 the Ford Manufacturing Co.; that the money to be derived from the state printing, it is claimed will be split three ways—that is one part to Col. Turner, in order to pay him for boosting the Hon. Edward F. Dunne through the columns of his no Idea; one part to the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and one part to the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. Wednesday evening between half past seven and eight o'clock while we were sitting on the back porch resting up after sprinkling the grass and the beautiful growing flowers, feeling at peace with this grand old world and with all the sons and daughters of humanity, the door bell rang very loud and our good wife Mrs. Taylor answered it and in a few moments she informed us that four Colored gentlemen were in the front parlor waiting to see us, on rushing into it we ran right into them, pleasant greetings on our part were exchanged with them, then we very softly exclaimed "gentlemen what can I do for you all" then there was silence for a few minutes and finally one of them like an ignorant bully blustered out that they were four of the Trustees representing the Institutional Church, so we requested them to excuse us for two minutes until we could get some writing paper and a pencil on returning to the front part of our home we began to ask each one his name and reduce it to paper, one of them refused at first to give his name and we very promptly ordered him to snatch his hat and beat it from the building, when he observed that we meant business, that our eagle eyes were rivited upon him he very reluctantly gave his name as M. L. Benson, the others claimed that they had always had the names of Thomas H. Crump, D. Horton and F. H. Wyche, then after securing their names we requested them to talk, quick and right to the point that our time was valuable to us as we were just steaming up and getting good and ready to do some more hot writing in relation to brothers Carey and Swann. That remark on our part was like shaking a red rag in the face of a mad bull, and at that point the Hon. Mr. Crump woke up and said "Mr. Taylor a stormy meeting was held at the Institutional Church. Tuesday even- ing, that after much bitterness had been displayed on all sides its members finally decided to stand by Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey that the Institutional Church was able to settle its own troubles without any assistance from you! that at the meeting on Tuesday evening they had been selected as the four Trustees to call on us and demand that from thenceforth that the name of the Institutional Church and the name of its pastor the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey must not be mentioned in the columns of The Broad Ax; that in case their advice was disregarded in that direction in the future that our life would be in danger; that a number of the women members belonging to the Institutional Church wanted to call on us instead of the four men Trustees of the church; that they the women members were so excited that they would have been ready and willing to have scratched or clawed our eyes out and ended our life and sent us on into the next world with all of our imperfections resting on our head." The Hon. Mr. Crump and his associates at that point in the running conversation were very plainly informed by us to the effect that if any of the women members of the Institutional Church ever attempted to disturb the peace and quietude of our humble and pleasant home that we would call up the 50th street police station and give them a free ride in the patrol wagon, he exclaimed that "the women would not mind that that they were willing to lay down their so-called religion and risk losing their lives and everything else for the sake of Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey or words to the same effect. Feeling that we could not waste any more of our valuable time on those four saints of the Lord who claimed that they were calling on us in the interest of what they called God like peace and harmony, we attempted to interrupt the Hon. Mr. Crump who was the main-spokesman for his Lord and master the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, and in a bulldozing manner he commanded us not to open our mouth until he had finished talking and fearing that he would continue to talk all night long, we very firmly said "Let me tell you one thing and that is" I want you gentlemen without further delay to snatch your hats and withdraw from our presence and with the devil's fighting blood in their saintly eyes they wended their way down the steps out into the street, the Hon. Mr. Crump shouting back to us in a loud voice that "your life will be in danger if you continue to mention the name of the Institutional Church and Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey in the columns of The Broad Ax." It may not be improper to state at this time that as one of the taxpayers of this city, county and the great state of Illinois, that for the past year we have assisted to pay the Institutional Church four or five hundred dollars in rent for the headquarters of the Illinois State Commission, that we have assisted to pay the expenses or the money which finds its way into the pockets of Rev. A. J. Carey, as one of the State Commissioners, that as a taxpayer, we have assisted to pay his salary of $110 per month, as a member of the Moving Picture Censorship Board, that as one of the taxpayers, some of our money has been expended, to pay Irish HON. JOHN E. OWENS. The peoples candidate for re-nomination and re-election as Judge of the County Court who will receive the solid support of thousands of the most progressive Afro-Americans throughout Cook County. The peoples candidate for re-nomination and re-election as Judge of the County Court who will receive the solid support of thousands of the most progressive Afro-Americans throughout Cook County. Miss Annabel Carey, one of his daughters, $50 to $75 per month, as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission, while at the same time, she has been attending the Chicago University and all of the people who own property throughout the State of Illinois, have been doubly taxed to support her, lastly that as one of the taxpayers we have assisted to pay Madison Davis Carey, son of Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey $4.00 per day, while he was engaged in working in the County Treasurers office of Cook County, although he is not of age, nor a voter. In view of all of the above undisputed facts, and in view of the further fact, that our taxes for 1913 was increased $12 over 1912 in order to help to support the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey—his family and the Institutional Church, we feel that we have the moral right to have something to say, in that respect through the columns of The Broad Ax. Let it be remembered once and for all time to come that we entertain no personal ill-feeling against any person on the face of the broad earth, that cowards die many times before their deaths, that the valiant never tastes of death but once that: "They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak: They are slaves who will not choose, Hatred scouting and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink, From the truth they needs must think Good Gov- et Baptist a Dissent- xcellency, the Illinois Dr. A. J. n and re-election as Judge of the County support of thousands of the most progres- ook County. They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three." BEAT COL. FRANK B. WARING TO IT. It was exclusively announced, in The Broad Ax, last Saturday, that Mrs. Frank B. Waring, 4529 Vineennes avenue, was conveyed to St. Lake's Hospital on Thursday morning, where she was to undergo an operation by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, at 5 o'clock on Saturday evening we received a card from Col. Waring requesting us to mention that fact in this week. But we had beat him to it. COL. WILLIAM R. COWAN IS IN THE SADDLE. The Executive Committee of the Citizens Political Equality League met Monday night. Mr. Henry Sherman Goins who had been endorsed for County Commissioner at a previous meeting declined to run, but nominated Mr. W. R. Cowan who was unanimously endorsed. At the next meeting of the League Senatorial Committeemen from the 1st and 3rd districts will be named. Col. Franklin A. Denison, Republican candidate for county commissioner, left Wednesday evening for Springfield, Ill., in connection with the construction of the 8th Regiment Armory.

HEALTH NOTES A high infant death rate is no longer regarded as a wise dispensation of Providence, but rather as an evident manifestation of human ignorance and neglect. --- The properly conducted summer resort is a place where you go to rest and regain health and strength and not to contract typhoid fever and come home to a sick bed and dangerous spell of illness. . . . According to Holy Writ, Moses conducted the first big and successful campaign against flies. The Book of Exodus tells us that "he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and there remained not one --- For the mother who is nursing her baby these suggestions are of value: The baby should have its nourishment at regular intervals. For the first year nurse as follows: For the first three weeks, every two hours; for the next six weeks, every $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours; until six months old, every 3 hours, and the same until one year of age. From the age of six weeks to six months, one nursing at night and for the first three weeks and after six months, omit the night nursing. A writer in the "Forecast" insists this, when a girl has learned to hem a dish cloth, mend a knitted garment, know three distinct cries of a baby and what each means, make ten standard soups, sleep with open windows, refrain from excessive eating of candy and sweets, take out of door exercise every day, plan and prepare a wholesome palatable meal, she has laid the foundation for a splendid home maker. No doubt about it; but now, what should the boy have to learn before he would be started right on the road of home making to be a worthy mate of the girl who has met the requirements of the Forecast writer? . . . Legislation dealing with tuberculosis has been enacted in 48 states and territories of the United States, according to a comprehensive bulletin on this subject, soon to be published by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska, has the subject been given no legislative consideration. Also, sanitariums for the cure of consumption have been established in 33 different states, while in 34 of the commonwealths of the Union, there are laws providing for the reporting and registration of all living cases. Six states, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, New York and Texas, have laws which give the people the privilege of voting at general or special elections on the establishment of county or municipal tuberculosis hospitals. Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Washington grant subsidies ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per week to such local hospitals. Laws prohibiting spitting in public places have been enacted in more than 20 states. These are facts which show that progress along right lines is being made in the nation wide fight against this dread disease. M. T. BAILEY ENTERS THE REAL ESTATE AND COLLECTION BUSINESS. M. T. Bailey, formerly representative of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers for fourteen years in the Western field, has resigned and entered the real estate and collection business.

Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska, has the subject been given no legislative consideration. State tuberculosis senatoria to the number of 42 have been established in 33 different states. Special laws providing for the establishment of local hospitals by municipalities or counties have been passed in 14 states. In 34 states, laws are in force providing for the reporting and registration of living cases of tuberculosis. In four states, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, special laws have been enacted giving state and local health authorities power to remove and detain tuberculous persons who menace the health of their families or associates. Six states, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, New York and Texas, have laws which give the people the privilege of voting at general or special elections on the establishment of county or municipal tuberculosis hospitals. Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Washington grant subsidies ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per week to such local hospitals. Laws prohibiting spitting in public places have been enacted in more than 20 states. Commenting on the problem of state legislation as it affects the prevention of tuberculosis. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says, "A law providing for the reporting and registration of every living case of tuberculosis is fundamental to any thoroughgoing campaign against this disease. Without a knowledge of the location of every case of tuberculosis, the disease cannot be controlled. Of equal importance also is legislation which will give cities, towns, and counties the authority to establish and maintain local hospitals for tuberculosis cases. The control of tuberculosis is a local problem. Everything possible should be done to provide institutions easy of access, especially for advanced cases." THE FORTHCOMING BAZAAR. Considerable mystery surrounds the bazaar which the young people of the city are planning to give for the benefit of the vigilance offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Some eighteen organizations have already joined the movement and it is rumored that the roll will swell to twenty-five. But where it is to be given and by whom—these are still secrets which are being jealously guarded from the public. Not even the chairman of the press bureau, it is said, is permitted to know the inside facts. However a reporter succeeded in finding out a little bit about the bazaar, yesterday, just before sliding to press. He discovered that the bazaar will be held on August 14 and 15 somewhere in the vicinity of Prairie avenue and somewhere along in the Thirty-oids. Various committees have been appointed and their chairman met at the Provident Hospital on Thursday night to talk over the program which promises to be one of the most elaborate ever pulled off in Chicago. One man was cornered just as he was dodging into the hospital and he was pressed for information—pressed against the brick wall for it. "Help, help" he said, "what do you want to know?" "What about this bazaar?" we said, "What is the truth about it?" The young man straightened up and replied: "It will be the first bazaar," he replied, "in your experience or mine which gave you your money's worth and then some. It will be the first bazaar which treated you as though it wanted you to come again. It is the first bazaar you ever went to that was built 'on honor;' which gave you all it promised to give you and handed you all your money back as you went out the door." "Impossible" we exclaimed. "Well," said the young man mysteriously, "you wait and see." "PLUMS" CONTINUE TO DEOP. As has been said before, the Negro may not be getting many of the big things that drop from the federal table, but he is picking up day by day a goodly number of the smaller "plums" that Dame Fortune passes over his way through meritorious service and ability to master the examinations required. Last week Mr. John W. White, of the office of Secretary of War was promoted from assistant messenger at $720 to clerk at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Julius A. Ross, an efficient clerk in the office of the Auditor for the War Department, has been made an examiner, a distinction attained by few members of the race in the executive departments. The race throughout the country will be glad to hear of happenings like these, which indicate that the Negro is not "all in, and down and out."—Richard W. Thompson, in the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., July 11, 1914. The above statement is conclusive proof that the so-called greatest weekly newspaper in the world which is published in this city handed out a raw fake story when it stated in its columns a short time ago that all the Colored men and women working for the United States Government at Washington, D. C., would be discharged on the 4th day of July, 1914. THE STROLL NEWS By Rosa Lee Tyler. Owing to the pleasantness of the cool breezes these evenings, the stroll is alive with gay humanity, and on State street between Thirty-first and Thirty-seventh may be seen numbers of the fair sex accompanied by their swains promending in their glad rags, looking good and after taking in the theatres they sojourn to the “Palms” ice cream parlor at 3313 State street, where Madame Tyler has arranged for their comfort and serves the best in the city from Collins Brothers Ice Cream manufacturing establishment. The offerings at the amusement houses are very entertaining this week. Manager Klein who always strive to please his many patrons, has a well balanced bill at the New Monogram. Opening the show is Mr. William Hopkins a violinist who must have been in great demand in the stone age, though even now his playing of the turkey and the straw, hornpipe and other dance music of the barn variety, is very interesting. Following is Johnson & Britton, whose singing and jokes are good with dancing hard to beat. Esther Miller a dramatic soprano is good but could be improved with study, she should be encouraged. Thompson & Cross can always be relied upon to close a show in good fashion, as they get their offerings over to the audience as only good performers can. After the show performers, patrons, and friends all visit the "Palms" for refreshing drinks, sundaes and ice cold watermelons. Tuesday night Mrs. S. H. Dudley from Louisville, called, Dora Dean, Johnson & Wells, Kid Cole, Davis & Walker, and Mrs. Franklin and Mrs. Minor also called, Miss Dolly Stewart is the able assistant to the Madame in waiting on the guests. At the old Monogram the offering is a trifle stronger from an artistic standpoint, the Wilson trio opens the bill and is very good. Bert Murphy of Murphy and Francis a big time act is also killing time and getting the where withall. Miss Lucretia Knox is singing the "Angelus is ringing" in good voice, and her rendition of the "Sextette from Lucia de Lammamoor" arranged in solo form is very good. Tim & Hester Moore closes the bill with well placed comedy and songs. Prof. Jenkins who made many friends when he controlled the lines at the rear end of the New Monogram, has been promoted and may now be seen at the wheel in the front end of the Old Monogram. Montgomery & McLain are playing a return engagement at the Grand. The 12th Regiment Band has erected a dancing pavilion on State street opposite the "Palms" ice cream parlor, thus adding to the numerous amusement places on the Stroll. Strollers will not be at a loss where to spend the summer evenings, because if they so desire they may go to a theatre, then to the pavilion for a whirl and finish with cool and refreshing sodas and sundaes to say nothing of w——m——s at the "Palms." HYDE PARK NEWS By L. W. Washington. Mrs. Julia Kemp, the very dear mother of Mr. S. D. Kemp is here visiting Mrs. S. D. Kemp and her son and is having a delightful time, she will remain during the month of August, and return to her native State Alabama. --- We are pleased to note the very great interest, our young women are taking in their children, Mrs. Nina Parris of Kenwood Ave., is not only the proud mother of a fine bouncing baby, but she is happy in its presence. A race that produce such mothers can never die. Mrs. Eva Raymore and daughter Noima, of 5626 Lake Park Ave., will spend a few weeks in Michigan, visiting their friend, Mrs. Allen, who is affiliated with her on the Deaconess Board at Bethel Church, of this City. Mrs. Allen has purchased a beautiful home in Michigan, and extends the hospitality to her friend. Mrs. Pearl Cavel, the wife of Mr. Robert Cavel who lives at 5216 Lake Park Ave., is the happy mother of a 12 lb. baby girl, she has several children, and is proud of them. The Broad Ax wishes for the girl as well as the family a long life and a prosperous one. At a late hour Saturday night the writer learned of a mass meeting to be held at the Hyde Park A. M. E. Church, not knowing what the purpose of the call he felt it his duty to attend. After being there for a few minutes he soon found out the meaning of it all. Mr. S. Laing Williams was to address the meeting. As a representative of the N. P. A. of America, who expects to prosecute Theatrical segregation in Hyde Park until, the managers learn that the public, means the whole people, and nothing less nor more. Mr. Fred Mauney of the Chicago Beach Hotel was master of ceremonies. Prof. Buckner also of the Beach played a very fine piano selection; J. Leg Bach Oberon Op. after Mr. Williams address, a general discussion of the topic was held by those present. Quite a number of membership blanks were given out. Quite a number of our young men out here, in Hyde Park, are talking yet, about the very nice time the young ladies gave them at the Episcopal picnic, July 14th, at Glenwood Park near Batavia, Ill. You will be remembered in their diary, to be sure. Felchenfield's grocery was robbed of $1,300, congratulations is certainly due the Hyde Park police department, for their alertness in their quick capture of the Trio, who committed the crime. It relieved the community of any apprehensions it might have as to whether they were, Black or White. So thanks to the officer who did his duty so well, that the firm received no less and the good name of Hyde Park was reserved. Miss Carrie Hunters is sick in the County Hospital. The Broad Ax wishes her a speedy recovery. * * * Mr. Simmons of 5473 Kimbark Ave., the contractor is upon the sick list, having had a set back. He expects to go to a health resort, to recuperate.

Cook County League Suspends Rule of Delaying Action on Ticket to Give Him Support. As a claxm of an enthusiastic rally and smoker, 400 members of the United Negro Voters' League of Cook County last night, at Jackson Hall, 2959 South State street, pledged their support of the candidacy of Judge John E. Owens for re-election. This is the first pledge given by the league to any candidate named for the Fall election. The league is independent in politics, but previous to each election pledges its support to a slate selected in caucus. It was not thought any pledges would be given until later in the campaign. Near the close of last night's meeting, however, it was found the voters unanimously desired the re-election of Judge Owens and the resolution pledging the league's support was passed by a rousing vote. The league has established headquarters at 2971 South State street and its president, Robert V. Ridley, last night prophesied a wide influence for the organization in the coming election. "Our membership," he said, "will be more than doubled as the campaign progresses. But there will be no division on the men named for the support of our organization. The South Side, we believe, is solidly behind the candidacy of Judge Owens. Among our people on the West Side he is considered the man best fitted for the position he seeks. "We will hold weekly rallies at Jackson Hall every Wednesday night and from time to time as the campaign proceeds will vote our support to the candidates we feel are best qualified for the positions for which they have been named."—The Chicago Examiner, July 16, 1914.

ZEALOUS WORKER FOR EDUCATION Success of Miss N. E. Butler as School Supervisor. KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Personal Story of the Labors of a Tuskegee Institute Graduate Among the People of Caroline County, Va. Hearty Co-operation In Effort to Secure Better Schoolhouses. Mrs. Nannie Lee Butler, who was graduated from Tuskegee institute in 1911 and is now serving as an industrial supervising teacher in Caroline county, Va., tells an interesting and prophetic story of the awakening of the colored people to the possibility of having, even under most adverse conditions, better schools, better homes and better community response to pressing needs. "Shortly after I took up my work as an industrial supervisor the state of Virginia, through the superintendent of public instruction, offered to provide the salary of a second teacher for every community that would build a two room school according to the state plans," said Mrs. Butler on a recent visit to Hampton Institute. "I went into four communities and tried to show the advantages and wisdom of heeding this call. Each community that I visited, although it was poor, took up the struggle, and by personal contributions of work, money and materials all of the four schools, each costing $1,500 and having two teachers, have been built and occupied during the past year. "Sacrifices were made by our people to accomplish this result. At Bowling Green one man, whose property holdings are valued at only a thousand dollars and who has a growing family of eight to support, gave out of his weekly earnings in one year $20. How did he do it? Not all at once at some big rally. Sometimes at the freight office he would pay a bill for lime, cement or other material, and at the next meeting of the School Improvement league he would quietly hand the receipt to the treasurer. "One man who did the mason work gave one-half of his time free. Another man who lives in a shabby, rented tenement, contributed $5 of the $8 he had received for laying the cement floors of the porches. Still another man who did not have the ready money did have timber land, from which he cut and hauled logs to the mill and contributed the lumber cut from them "To push the work more rapidly the women gathered at one school, and while the men of the community put on the weather boarding the women nailed on the laths on all the side walls and finished their tasks without a smashed finger. Many of the women who are helping to support their families by washing (and, I might say, that 25 cents is the price paid for an individual laundry in Caroline country have time and time again contributed the whole amount to push along the work of school building. "Last year the colored people raised by contributions, without help from the school board, some $5,400 for buildings and school improvements. We are now striving to raise $6,000 to build four more graded schools. We are also striving to collect $20 to equip properly the workroom at Bowling Green, for wherever new graded schools have supplanted the one room schools we are endeavoring to use the old buildings as workrooms in which will be taught sewing, cooking and housekeeping to the girls and manual training to the boys. Every school that has been reached has been awakened to the idea of doing something definite to improve conditions and to make the school buildings and grounds attractive. "Through the summer work we have been better able to reach the homes, and by teaching the children in their own homes we have been able to influence the mothers. Wherever possible mothers' clubs have been formed. They have for their purpose not the raising of money for the schools, but the changing of the morals and the manners of the children in the home, along the highway and in the school. "My preparation for work in this great forward movement I owe to Tuskegee. There from the big heart of Dr Booker T Washington I learned the lessons of unselfishness and service. In sending me out to do industrial work he took me by the hand and said. We don't expect you to fail. Thus he gave me inspiration to put into practice the lessons he had learned at Hampton and which he had taught me at Tuskegee." Georgia Educators to Meet July 28. President Richard R. Wright of the Georgia State college in Savannah, Ga., has again shown his interest in the cause of education by agreeing to entertain the members of the Georgia Association of Teachers in colored schools at the annual meeting of the association, to be held in Savannah, beginning Tuesday morning July 28 for two days free of charge. Professor M. W. Reddick president of the association says that the program for the coming session will be one of our most interest. He therefore argues a large audience.

Notable Work of Dr. Robert T. Burt In Clarksville, Tenn. Clarksville, Tenn.-There are few states of its size which have to their credit a larger number of business and professional men of wide influence and ability than is true of Tennessee. Her educational institutions, churches and agricultural interests are manned by some of the most experienced men and women among our people in this country. The largest publishing house in the world owned and operated by colored men is in this state. One of the best medical colleges and also one of the leading institutions of learning is the proud heritage of Tennessee. In this thrifty community we have one of the leading physicians of our race in the person of Dr. Robert T. Burt, M. D., a graduate of the Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn.

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 M. E. B. 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 patents; 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 adopted 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; Reginald 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 committee 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. Mr Bray is also the exalted ruler of Westchester lodge. Order of Elks, Tarrytown, N. Y. JULIUS F. TAYLOR: Please enter my name as a subscriber to THE BROAD AX.

Our opinions cost us nothing so long as we keep them to ourselves. Tact is made up in equal parts of silence, deafness and blindness. Nearly every man has in mind a fortune that he might have made. Whatever else you do, do not let jealousy get a foothold in your home. Our best friends are liable to become forgetful when we are down and out. It is not always the man or woman who needs a vacation most that gets it. When a woman insists on having her own way her husband calls it nagging. We are never too old to learn something that will never be of value to us. While waiting for something to turn up you are more than likely to be turned down. Some people never break their good resolutions simply because they never make any. Hardship comes when the fire of genius isn't hot enough to keep the pot boiling. You may soon buy all the fine steel engravings of Ben Franklin you want at $100 apiece. In Russia it is the would be male voter that seems to be causing most of the trouble. Premier Asquith might be able to obtain subtle revenge by giving a dinner in Sylvia's honor. Try to remember the nice things you hear about your friends and forget the disagreeable ones. The man who thinks that a woman can be "won" with gifts deserves to win one of that kind. It is about as well to rush where angels fear to promenade as to sit down and go to seed. Memory is wisely so constituted that it loses many things, else it would be a chamber of horrors. Sparks have begun to fly between the United States and Germany, but they are only wireless sparks. A German aviator indulged in a shave while aloft. But many an amateur flier has had a closer shave. Some people travel for a change of scene, when all they need is to stay home and have a change of thought. Some people keep right on eating fat meats in hot weather, and then they wonder why they feel uncomfortable! When there is sunshine enjoy it, and when there is not enjoy thinking how you will enjoy the next appearance. If income tax collectors could only recover on the lost gems of actresses the treasury deficit would soon be removed. A man has invented a bomb for finding the ocean's depth.

Enthusiasm is to a man what powder is to a bullet. Why not pass a law requiring the muzzling of mosquitoes? Love may be blind, but the girl's small brother sees things. Debt is a paradox. The faster we run in the more we get behind. Temporary failure makes the sweets of success all the more enjoyable. Few men get far enough up the ladder of fame to make them dizzy. No really big-man allows his head to outgrow the rest of his anatomy. The way never to accomplish anything is to take everybody's advice. On the road to success it is not every man who knows how to change cars. To err is human, and to discover the errors of the other fellow is natural. No man should complain of his wife's biscuits if he falls to provide the dough. Don't tell people that you are as good as they are; show them that you are better. Some one has said that no one ever attained his one great ambition, and we believe it. Too many people can remember names and faces much easier than they can debts. There would be a fortune in it for any inventor who could patent a device for making both ends meet. The chief trouble about the modern temptations is that they cost more than the victims are able to pay. A woman may not always be a close observer; but, on the other hand, she is always a clothes observer. Income tax disappointments recall the fact that the man who insists on being shy is a nuisance in any game. John Bull is still a trifle dazed in his political affairs, but in the field of athletics he has recovered his poise. Colonel Sellers would never be able to dispose of worthless stock if it were not for the gullibility of Colonel Buyers. When a man compliments himself on his frankness you may be sure he is getting ready to say something impudent. Any time Mexico becomes dissatisfied with the existing rule all she has to do is to open the jails and start a new party. It is hard to be original on some topics, but the futurist style of oratory offers new opportunities to public speakers. One of the great advantages of spending the evening at home is that you do not have a chance to spend anything else. A Frenchman says he can read a man's character in his hair. If the man is bald, is he therefore without character? The Denver chemist who sneezed away $25,000 worth of radium puts our old friend Cleopatra and her pearls in the discard. With aviators bumping together in the clouds, it's getting so one can't take a quiet constitutional in Germany without a parasol. A Boston man says every one should learn to be an orator. As if there were not misery and suffering enough in the world as it is. How often we hear a woman ask a man questions on a subject about which she knows more than he does, just to be pleasant. In another way of looking at it a moving picture film of the wedding would be just as good as a duly sealed marriage certificate. If more of us knew what the signals mean that are displayed in the clouds every day fewer of us would get wet when the storms break. A Berlin architect predicts an age of glass houses. Aside from the proverbial handicap, they will never be popular in very hot weather. Hearty unanimity of thought in the contemplated church unity is made manifest by the willingness of every man that the rest of the world should join his. If it is all the same to those savants, the world would prefer that they devise something that will make it immune from mosquitoes rather than from the effects of mosquito bites. Burglar in New York who carried off a 500 pound safe, found $10 only in it. An experience like this discounts all the advice about putting one's utmost energy in any enterprise if one would win success. .
