BOWLING WAS THE ONLY AFRO-AMERICAN TO PASS THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION QUALIFYING HIM TO SERVE ON THE CENSORSHIP BOARD. Lately a civil service examination was held to select ten members from among those who could stand the test to serve on the Moving Picture Censorship Board and Alonzo J. Bowling, 3518 Forest avenue, who has resided in this city for several years, was the only Afro-American who was able to success- fully pass through the grinding mill, as three or four others who attempted it, fell by the wayside. Mr. Bowling, is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Ohio State University and Howard University, Washington, D. C., and it is the sixth civil service examination which he has successfully passed with credit to himself and the Colored people residing in Chicago would be pleased indeed if he should without delay be selected, as one of the members of Moving Picture Censorship Board.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ADVERTISE IN THE BROAD AX, TO SECURE WRITE UPS IN IT, TO SUBSCRIBE FOR IT AND TO READ IT FOR IT IS BY FAR THE MOST POWERFUL AND THE MOST INFLUENTIAL NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN RACE IN THE MIDDLE WEST. In 1905, after a very bitter and rough and tumble fight Alderman George F. Harding, Republican candidate for the nomination for state senator in the first senatorial district, was for the first time elected to the city council from the old Second Ward, The Broad Ax, being the only newspaper on the south side which warmly supported him at that time, and from that time to the present he has been one of the most valuable and hard working members and has always served with much credit to himself and to the citizenship of Chicago on many of the most important committees and he has always worked and voted for every measure which would redound to the benefit of all the people throughout this city. He is a true blue Chicagoan for he was in this city at his beautiful home 2336 Indiana Ave., where he has resided until this day. William M. Brinkman, Republican candidate for member of the Legislature of Illinois from the first senatorial district was born into this grand old world in this city, Jan. 7, 1872, he is therefore in his forty-second year and just budding into ripe manhood, he received his education in its public schools and his first class business training within its walls. November 14, 1894, he joined the great army of married men and he and Mrs. Brinkman are the proud and happy parents of four bright and interesting children and they reside in their own fine large flat building at 3119 Indiana Ave. Mr. and Mrs. Brinkman are the highest products of that sturdy race, the German-American race which has in every way accomplished so much in the way of assisting to make this the greatest nation in existence today. Alderman Harding never conducts himself in no swaggering manner for at all times he will bestow the proper amount of consideration upon all those who approach him and it makes not the slightest difference to him whether they are of high or low degree, rich or poor, White or Black and that is one reason why he is so extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens. He is a graduate of Harvard College, also of the Phillips Exter of New Hampshire and that fact alone largely accounts for his splendid intellectual attainments. In conclusion there is not the slightest question about him securing the nomination for state senator at the primaries, Wednesday, September 9th, for he is the peoples candidate in the first senatorial district and the vast majority of its voters are at his back and will assist to land him safe and sound in the state senate at Springfield, Illinois.

For more than twenty years has been one of the solid residents of the second ward, he has for ten years served as precinct committeeman and secretary of the Second Ward Republican Club, and to his credit this is the first time that he has ever sought any public office. He is an honored member of the Hamilton Club, the Royal Arcanum, Masonic, and a member of the Art Institute, which is conclusive proof that he is a gentleman of culture and refinement. Mr. Brinkman like unto Alderman George F. Harding has always been fair minded and friendly towards all Afro-Americans who amount to anything and they will greatly assist both of them to march on to victory at the primaries Wednesday September the 9th. each member of the team were costumed in their latest uniforms, white serge Russian pantlet suits, white military capes and white wands and they looked exceedingly neat and attractive. Col. J. W. Isoon, and Captain Carrie Seamus, 5028 Federal street deserve to be highly praised for the fine drilling on their part. M. One of the just and upright judges of the Municipal Court and Democratic candidate for re-nomination and re-election for that same position at the Primiaries Wednesday, September 9. [Name] WILLIAM M. BRINKMAN. The successful real estate broker, property holder, member of the Hamilton Club and Republican candidate for nomination at the Primaries Wednesday, September 9, for member of the legislature, from the first Senatorial district of Hon. Frank H. Graham, Democratic candidate for re-nomination and re-election, as one of the judges of the Municipal Court, was born in this great city in 1866 and has resided in it all of his days on earth. So it can be truly said, that he is to the manner-born. He received his education in its public schools and in the course of time, he entered the Union College of Law, graduating from it with all the high honors due him. Later on he took a post graduate course in the law department of the No. 48 H. GRAHAM. The Municipal Court and Democratic can- ction for that same position at the Pri- Lake Forest University. Shortly after emerging from it, he was employed as a clerk for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company, and served in that capacity until 1885, then he started out to earn his own living in the world of law being admitted to the Illinois Bar Association in 1887. He is also an honored member of the Chicago Bar Association and a large degree or measure of success was showered upon him while engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. Judge Graham, was elected one of the judges of the Municipal Court in 1912 Continued on page 2. M. The "Big Brother"—Father of the Boys Court and Democratic candidate for judge of the County Court. [Name] Judge Thomas F. Scully, Democratic candidate for Judge of the County Court was elected as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court at the November election in 1910 and it can also be said in his favor that he is to the mannerborn, for he first saw the light of day in this city in 1871 and his parents were among its oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. He was educated in the Holy Family school, he is also a graduate of the Kent College of Law, from which he received his diploma in 1896, while attending college he was connected with the law department of the Board of Education, and later on he held a very responsible position in the County Recorder's office and then after he had succeeded in getting a firm foothold, as it were, he severed his connection with that firm to actively engage in the practice of his chosen profession and for some years thereafter he was a member of the law firm of Cunnea, Scully and Rafferty with law offices on the seventh floor of the Reaper Block. In 1897, Mayor Carter H. Harrison, appointed him assistant corporation counsel and attorney for the city comptroller, in 1905 he was elected to the city council from the 10th Ward and he was one of the city fathers from that time until he was elected one of FINNIE HELD TO GRAND JURY. L. F. Finnie, Colored, of Cairo, of the Grand Temple and Tabernaacle of the International Order of Twelve, was held over yesterday by Justice Robert Connolly to the September grand jury, charged with forging the name of Henry Sallie and others to an alleged fraudulent charter.

Church, Sunday night, Aug. 23rd at 8 o'clock on "Segregation in Washington, D. C." under the auspices of The Bethel Litterary Club and The Colored Waiter's Pro the Municipal Court Judges in 1910, while serving the people in that capacity he was a member of some of its most important committees. Judge Scully is a prominent member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Knights of Columbus, Royal League, and many other organizations; the late Mayor Fred. A. Busse appointed him chairman of the committee on the Cherry mine disaster and he took an active part in the relief work accomplished by that committee. The first part of this present year Judge Scully was selected by Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court to preside over the Boys court and it is the first and only kind in the world and being the very best Judge in the right place, he is a kind father and a big brother to all the boys who appear before him. Judge Scully has always been a true friend to the Afro-American race and in the past he has cheerfully performed many kindly deeds for its worthy members. Judge and his good wife, Mrs. Scully reside at 1107 South Ashland avenue, and for many years he has been a constant supporter of The Broad Ax and once each week it finds its way into their pleasant and comfortable home. The charter was to authorize the existence of the International Order of Twelve.—The Illinois State Register, Springfield, Ill., August 18, 1914. It is said that the Hon. Mr. Finnie is a warm supporter, an advocate of the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D.

Members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are Asking What Became of $100.000 Belonging to the Order SOME HARD NUTS FOR THE HON. EDWARD H. MORRIS AND HIS CLOSE MOUTHED AND CLOSE FISTED ASSOCIATES TO CRACK. IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE ODD FELLOWS' JOURNAL IS THE POOREST SHEET OR NEWSPAPER ISSUED BY THE COLORED PRESS IN ANY PART OF THE UNITED STATES. SPECIAL TO THE BROAD AX. Philadelphia, Pa., August 17, 1914.—The question being asked by the great majority of Odd Fellows today is, "Who Got the Money?" and that question will have to be answered to the satisfaction of the delegates to the B. M. C. when they assemble in Boston next month. Court has cost the Order less than $11,500, and not a cent more. The quarterly circular will give the facts. Now if the Supreme Court has cost the Order $11,500 and there is only $20,000 in the treasury, that accounts for only $31,500. What has become of the other money? We know that when Grand Master Houston went out of office one That there has been waste, extravagance and mismanagement on the part of this administration of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is so apparent that the closest adherents of those in power will not make an effort to explain the reckless expenditure of the people's money. Edward H. Morris is now holding the office of Grand Master not by the will of the people, but because he thwarted that will in Atlanta, Ga., and holding over him are those who, together with him manage the financial affairs of the Order. They do not feel themselves responsible to the other members of the Order; they do not regard themselves as accountable to the Lodges whose money they have so recklessly wasted. The day of reckoning is close at hand and the rank and file will rise in their wrath and put out of office at Boston the men who have such a vicious disregard for the welfare of the Fraternity which honored them with election in Baltimore in the year 1910. The timely editorial which appeared in the Atlanta Independent of August 1st has opened the eyes of the members everywhere as to the mismanagement of the funds of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The Quarterly Circulars which are supposed to contain a true account of the receipts and expenditures of moneys belonging to the Order tell the story of how rapidly this organization is being bankrupted by the men who are handling its finances. The Grand Secretary at the B. M. C. held in Baltimore reported a balance in the treasury of $49,467.97—see page 105 of the 15th B. M. C. Report. When Edward H. Morris was installed as Grand Master in January, 1911 there was a cash balance in the treasury of the G. U. O. of O. F. of $35,000. From that time until the end of July, 1914 the Grand Secretary has collected over $125,000, which makes a total of more than $180,000.00. If you doubt it get your Quarterly Circulars and add up the figures. According to the report of the Grand Secretary there is now less than $20,000 in the treasury of the Order. What has become of the more than one hundred thousand dollars belonging to the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows? WHO GOT IT? All over the country this question is being asked in the lodge rooms and on the streets. When the delegates to the B. M. C. meet at Boston they too will ask, "Who got the money? Edward Morris and his financial officers will have to answer this question. If they try to throw dust in the eyes of the delegates by saying the Odd Fellows Supreme Court has cost a vast sum of money, the humblest delegate will know that the Court has existed for only three and one-half years. He will know that the salaries of three judges clerk and marshal are about $2,550 per year. He can take his quarterly circular and find that the expenses of those officers are less than $750 per year. He will take a bit of paper and pencil and figure that the Supreme Court has cost the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows about $3,300 per year in salaries and expenses; and that from January, 1911 to July, 1914; three years and a half, the HON. PRANK H. GRAHAM, and so far it must be said to his great credit, that he has been more than fair, in dealing out even handed justice in his court to all those who appear therein regardless of their race, color or nationality. Attorneys Walter M. Farmer and Augustus L. Willidms, 184 W. Wash- ington street, Beauregard F. Moseley, 6221 S. Halsted street and other Afro- Court has cost the Order less than $11,500, and not a cent more. The quarterly circular will give the facts. Now if the Supreme Court has cost the Order $11,500 and there is only $20,000 in the treasury, that accounts for only $31,500. What has become of the other money? We know that when Grand Master Houston went out of office one-half of the debt on the Odd Fellows paid—see the 15th B.M.C. Report page 106,—so that when Grand Master Edward Morris took the oath of office the Order owed his wife, Mrs. Morris, only $15,000 on the mortgage which she held on the Headquarters Building of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. That amount has been paid which accounts for that much; but that sum together with the $11,500 which the Supreme Court has cost, and the $20,000 now in the treasury amount to considerably less than $50,000. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BESIDE? This Morris administration is just three and one-half years old. It does not legitimately cost Thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) a year to run the office of the Grand Secretary and to pay the Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the Grand Treasurer their salaries. We demand to be told, "Who got the money?" If much of the money has been spent on the Odd Fellows' Journal it was a clear violation of the law, because Law CXIX, section 15, page 107 of the General Laws, edition 1911, says, "The Sub-Committee of Management shall not appropriate to the Journal or its editor and manager any money to defray the expenses of said Journal; the entire expenses of said Journal shall be defrayed from the receipts of said paper." If in the teeth of that plain provision of the law any amount has been appropriated for that paper the Sub-Committee of Management should be rebuked for thus unlawfully using the Order's money. The Odd Fellows' Journal is the poorest excuse for a paper that comes from the Colored press of the country. It is a disgrace to the great Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The sheet is so lacking in every respect which would make it a newspaper that half of the secretaries of lodges never take the wrapper from it when it reaches them. It is openly stated by permanent secretaries that they never unwrap the paper because there is nothing in it worth reading. The one general complaint made by the members throughout the country is that they are forced to pay for a paper such as the Odd Fellows' Journal which never offers them any value for the money they pay. Any enterprising grocer or merchant distributes each week at your door hand bills advertising his goods that will contain more interesting reading matter than can be found in the Odd Fellows' Journal. It is utterly and shamefully worthless as a newspaper, and is a sad reflection on the Order to be issued as the official organ of this great Fraternity. If the money has not been spent on this little sheet then what has become of it? The members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows all over this land are demanding to be told what has become of the more than one hundred thousand dollars which has been handled by the Morris administration independent of what has been accounted for in this article. Everywhere the question is asked. "WHO GOT THE MONEY?" American lawyer have at various times asserted that Judge Graham is a safe, sane judge and that they have never yet detected the slightest race prejudice in him in his dealing with his fellow men. Judge Graham is quite popular with his men associates. He is a prominent member of the Iroquois and Ridgway Clubs and he resides with his interesting family at 5319 Michigan avenue. 72 HON. SAMUEL A.

JOURNAL, POST AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS DEFINE THE ISSUE Urge All to Vote for Judge Owens. Chicago Journal Editorial, July 18, 1914.—Judge Owens has a record of courage, learning and efficiency. There is no need to tell his praises to a public that knows his work. The Journal is frank to say that in the coming primary election it will support Judge Owens against all the evil influences now marshaled in opposition to him, and support him with a great deal of enthusiasm. County Judge, is seeking a renomination at the primaries Sept. 9th, 1914 and should have it. He is being opposed by the thieves thugs and bawds of Chicago because he has supervision over the election manchinery of the county and has refused to permit the ballot box stuffers and thieves and election fraud promoters to control elections as they do form early. It is not therefore a question of Republicanism, Democracy, or Progressive "We love him for the enemies he has made," was said of Grover Cleveland. The Journal honors and supports Judge Owens for the enemies he has made. Chicago Evening Post Editorial, July 15th, 1914.—Starting his term with a partisan indiscretion or two, Judge Owens soon settled down into a career that has done more real good to Chicago than that of any other Democratic official. He is the first man in his position really to "go after" the fraudulent electoral machinery in the lodging house ware. He has cleared out the Kenna-Coughlin judges and clerks, both Republican and Democratic, in the First Ward. He has aimed a similar blow at the scandalous Eighteenth. He has interpreted the Woman's Suffrage Law with uniform sympathy for the women, and he has thus far been upheld in these broad rulings. He has administered the insanity court with an intelligence and a humanity that is unprecedented there. Chamberlin's Magazine Editorial, August, 1914.—Whatever the factual differences, there is but one course open to the voters at the coming Democratic primaries who stand for law enforcement and clean politics—vote for John E. Owens as the nominee for county judge. Editorial in August Issue of The Retailers' Journal, organ of the grocery trade.—Judge John E. Owens.

County Judge, is seeking a renomina- tion at the primaries Sept. 9th, 1914, and should have it. He is being opposed by the thieves, thugs and bawds of Chicago because he has supervision over the election ma- chinery of the county and has refused to permit the ballot box stuffers and thieves and election fraud promoters to control elections as they did form- erly. It is not therefore a question of Republicanism, Democracy, or Progressive party politics, but it is a question as to whether an honest, able, conscientious, clean and remarkably efficient public officer shall be renominated or whether the influence of criminals shall be permitted to triumph over him and rebuke him for having stood firmly for the right, even against the very ravings, threats and denunciation of the omnions of hell. DR. U. GRANT DAILEY DEPARTS FOR RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA. Dr. W. Grant Dailey, State street and 36th Place is on his way to Raleigh, N. C., as a delegate to the National Medical Association where he will conduct a surgical clinic. While absent he will visit Washington, D.

He has been chosen by the physicians, Pharmacists and Dentist Club, of this city to invite the National organization to this city in 1915. Dr. Dailey will be accompanied on his trip by Dr. J. H. Hale, of Nashville, Tenn., who for the past month has been doing Post Graduate work in this city. Dr. Lawrence Blanchet, will look after the many patients of Dr. Dailey while absent from the city. . . . LPEU 101 HON. ALBERT NOWAK One of the extremely popular Polish-American citizens of Chicago and Democratic candidate for renomination at the Primaries Wednesday, September 6th for County Commissioner. County Commissioner Albert Nowak has at all times and all places been consistently recognized as one of the stunchest supporters and hardest workers for the Democratic party in Cook county. Whenever it has been necessary he has gone to the front without a moment's hesitation in the interests of Democracy, and has come to be regarded as one of the wheel horses who was always found to be reliable when a strong pull was needed to get through a hard place in the road to success. For twenty years he has been handling other people's money in amounts which at the present time average $300,000 yearly, and has properly accounted for every penny of it. This shows that among his friends and business associates he is considered trustworthy, reliable, and a man in whom all confidence can be placed with the assurance that that trust will never be betrayed. Mr. Nowak is one of those many foreign born residents of Chicago who have done so much to give it the high standing which it now holds among the municipalities of the world. He was born in Poland in 1860 and came to Chicago in 1874. He started his career here as a workingman, and was a member of the LICAN CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY TREASURER. EDWARD R. LITZINGER. Lawyer. Base Ball Fan, who is favorably known throughout Chicago, and Republican candidate for treasurer of Cook County. The nomination by the Committee of 200, representing the Republican party of Cook County, of Edward R. Litzinger, for County Treasurer, makes a new area in the selection of useful servants for public office. Mr. Litzinger was born in Chicago, September 19, 1874, graduated from the Holden Public School and for a number of years attended the Y. M. C. A. night classes. He pursued his legal studies in the Kent College of Law and was admitted to the Bar in 1898. Since which time he has built an extensive law practice under the firm name of Litzinger, McGurn & Reed. He is a member of the Bar Association, Vice-president and Director of the South-West Trust & Savings Bank, president of the United States Tent and Awning Company. His political career has not been very long, but during his short tenure of office as Alderman of the 5th Ward, he participated in and succeeded in having made into laws a number of useful ordinances affecting the interest of Chicago. Edward R. Litzinger is well known among the older of the Colored men of this City, as a famous amateur ball player having played with the old Union Giants back in the early days of the beginning of Negro base ball history in this City. For many years he played second base for the rivals in the old City League, later was Captain Knights of Labor. He later engaged in business for himself, and has been very successful. He is a man of family, residing at 2128 North Leavitt St. He belongs to the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Polish National Alliance and several other societies. He is a member of the National Union. He has been treasurer of the Polish Building and Loan Association for nineteen years which he resigned on account of illness. He was subsequently elected treasurer and is now the treasurer of that institution for an indefinite term. For the past twenty years he has been treasurer of one of the most prosperous building and loan associations in his ward. He is a man of good hard business sense, of strictest integrity. Since becoming one of the county commissioners Mr. Nowak has proven himself to be the right man in the right place. At all times he has been ever ready as a county official to aid those among the Colored people who were in distress and it goes without saying that many of the Afro-American voters will cheerfully assist him to win in his fight for re-nomination at the primaries Wednesday, September the 9th. winning of a Championship of the Mercantile League. He organized the first amateur base ball association of Chicago and for 7 years was its president. He no doubt has grown out of the minds of a large majority of the Colored people by reason of his marvelous and unusual success in the business and professional world. The Colored voters are however, fortunate of being reminded of the fact that he is the same Edward R. Litzinger that he was in former days notwithstanding through honest and courageous efforts he has succeeded in garnering considerable of this world's goods. His heart nevertheless beats warm for all man-kind, regardless of race, color or creed. As County Treasurer, the Colored voters can expect of him to restore to that office the former spirit of Republicanism which has predominated in the former years, and through the restoration of such spirit the Colored voters will inevitable come into their own. Mr. Litzinger comes of an old respected German family and was born amid poverty and ill-luck, which enables him to appreciate the poor and working class of people. He is highly and favorable spoken of by the leading Colored business and professional men of Chicago. He is recommended by the Colored voters by such Colored men of the legal and business fraternity as Attorney E. H. Morris, Colonel Franklin A. Denison, Honorable Louis B. Anderson, W. W. Johnson, J. R. Auter, James A. Scott, Walter M. Farmer, Charles A. Ward, H. M. Porter, ex-County Commissioner Oscar DePriest, ex-representative, Edward D. Green, George O. Jones, S. Laing Williams, Edward E. Alexander, Dr. M. J. Brown, Frank L. Hamilton, Gee W. Holt and others. “B.” Pope Pius, X, head of the Roman Catholic church, throughout the world, passed away, at Rome, Italy, Tuesday night. He was one of the most eminent popes that has been at the head of that church for many years and his influence for good and Christian piety throughout the world cannot be estimated.

If your neighbor is contented to live amid dirt and filth of his own making and won't clean up, tell the Department of Health about it, it may be that it can help you. --- It seems almost needless to say it, but as there are those who do not know, we repeat for the thousandth time, that the house fly is the most dangerous little insect known. It is born and bred in filth. It lives on filth most of the time and carries filth wherever it goes. Keep it out of your home at any cost. Better than all, keep your premises clean and you will be practically free from flies. . . . Do you sweat freely, these hot sultry August days? It is a fine thing if you do. Free, even copious perspiration means that your skin is doing its proper work and doing it well. For besides serving as a sort of armour for the body, the really important function of the skin is to help the body to get rid of a lot of poisonous waste matter, which if retained in the system, would do great harm. The skin performs this important function through the pores or sweat glands. And this is why, putting it plainly, it is good for you to sweat. Another thing the skin does when all its pores are kept open and in good working order, is to absorb a good deal of life giving oxygen. Some people think the skin does not breathe; but it does just the same. If a human being's body were to be painted all over with a bronze-paint, or any kind of paint for that matter, that would seal up the pores of the skin, the chances are that the person so treated would die within a very few hours. Another thing the skin helps to do is regulate the temperature of the body. For example, when there is undue heat in the body, the blood vessels in the skin become enlarged, thus allowing a free flow of blood to the outer surfaces of the body. This means radiation or a throwing off of the body heat, so that the body becomes cooler. People are not sun struck when perspiring freely. On the other hand, when the weather is cold, the blood vessels in the skin contract and drive or force the blood into the deeper organs, where it is protected from the cold, and this helps to keep the body warm. . . . Then too, as all of us know, the skin has the sense of touch, the sense that tells us whether we are handling ice or a red hot iron. The value of this sense we all understand, without it we would be powerless to protect ourselves from harm. Also the skin is a mighty good indicator as to one's general health. As a rule when the blood is charged with impurities, the skin will show it in some form of eruption or inflammation. Because the skin plays so important a part in keeping us well and strong, it should be given the best of care and attention. Here are some things you can do to keep your skin in good working order: 1. Eat plain, white and food. 2. Exercise daily and get plenty of fresh air and sunlight. 3. Take a bath every day, followed by a brisk rub down with a coarse towel. FINE MODERN HOUSE FOR SALE CHEAP.

RACE PROGRESS IN SOUTHWEST Boley, Okla., Owned Entirely by Afro-Americans. FOUNDED BY T. M. HAYNES National Negro Business League's Representative Gives Facts and Figures Which Show Remarkable Achievements and Capacity of Our People For Self Government. By RALPH W. TYLER. Boley, Okla.—To prove that the Negro, as a race, is incapable of self government such proud Caucasians as would arbitrarily assume to serve as accusers, judge and jury for the race are wont to point to that revolution torn black republic, Haiti. If such would but turn their eyes to the southwest they would behold the existence in one state alone—Oklahoma—of eight exclusively Negro towns that are conclusively demonstrating the Negro's capacity for self government and as a town builder. Boley, Taft, Red Bird, Langston, Tatums, Brooksville, Vernon and Rentiesville, all in the state of Oklahoma, testify to the innate peacefulness and the acquired constructiveness of the American Negro. Boley, with its 2,500 exclusively Negro population within the corporate limits of the town and its 10,000 Negro population within a radius of ten miles, which population is a direct contributant to the municipality, is the largest of the eight exclusively Negro towns in Oklahoma and the largest exclusively Negro town on the western hemisphere, being three times the size of Mound Bayou. Miss, the much exploited Negro settlement. I spent several days here in the interest of that wonderfully constructive organization which Dr. Booker T. Washington inspired into existence—the National Negro Business league—carefully investigating this exclusively Negro town, whose stability and orderly government, carefully and conservatively administered, present the conclusive proof that the American Negro is capable of self government. In Haiti a standing army, whose maintenance imposes a burdensome tax upon the country's limited resources, preserves the life of the republic and at the same time contributes to continual disastrous and bloody revolutions. In Boley no soldiers patrol its borders, its streets, or guard its regularly elected officials. Boley is governed not by force of arms, but by the minions of peace. Boley has orderly conducted elections for the selection of governing officials, but no armed revolutions to enthrone an executive Boley's taxes are assessed by and with the consent of the governed and not by arbitrary officials who "assume" office and power through might. Boley typifies the constructive propaganda of Booker T. Washington rather than the destructive intrigues which foment in the black republic just beyond America's southern sea kissed border. Boley represents Negro advancement. Boley at first was but a mere camp of Negro railroad construction hands, whose foreman was a white man named Boley, from whom it took its name. It was founded by T. M. Haynes, a Negro, who is still living—and a valued citizen of the town—to witness the fruition of his altruistic plans. It was incorporated and chartered as a municipality in 1904. The town, comprising 200 acres, laid out with broad streets crossing at right angles, has a bonded indebtedness of but $32,000 and a school district bonded indebtedness of $17,000. This bonded indebtedness is secured by property within Boley whose taxable value is $450,000 and by property within the county whose taxable value is $800,000, making a total of $1,250,000 in property to secure the payment of $49,000 bonded indebtedness. This little town here in the far south west has been called the "Million Dollar Black City," because the volume of business transacted here in 1913 reached $1,000,000 and because the value of the city's reality and the amount its citizens have invested in business total $1,000,000. In 1913 the Negro merchants of Boley handled $192,000 worth of business, her Negro farmers handled $250,000 worth of foodstuff and live stock, her Negro cotton buyers bought $325,000 worth of cotton, and her local postoffice did $252,300 worth of business, $250,000 of which represented money passing through the money order department. The one bank—capitalized, controlled and conducted by Negroes—had individual deposits at the close of business Dec. 31, 1913, amounting to $55,000. This financial showing for a community composed exclusively of people but half a century removed from slavery—from a period when the right to acquire and hold property was denied them both by public sentiment and law—is a splendid attestation to the thrift and industry of our race. The residences, public buildings and stores of Boley compare most favorably with those of any town of like size whose controlling population is made up of the dominant race. In fact, there are many white older towns throughout the west of this and greater size whose residences! public buildings and areas do not compare with Boley's.

Dr. Bottlinger of Munich says that gravitation is absorbed in traversing a medium, so that the interposition of a third body between two others effects their mutual attraction. He is of the opinion that the attraction of the sun on the moon is enfeebled when the earth comes between them, when there is an eclipse. Lipton's Yacht.
