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.

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.

Who Got The Money ? ~ Members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are Asking What Became of $100.000 Belonging to ~ the Order | 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 ques- tien will bave to be answered to the satisfaction of the delegates to the, B. M. C, when they assemble in Boston next month. ‘That there has been waste, extrava- gance and mismanagement on the part of this administration of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is s0 ap- parent 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, togeher with him manage the financial affairs of the Order. They do not feel themselves re- sponsible 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 suck a vicious dis- regard for the welfare of the Fratern- ity which honored them with election in Baltimore in the year 1910. The timely editorial which appeared in the Atlanta Independent of August, Ist has opened the eyes of the mem- bers everywhere as to the mismanage- ment of the funds of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The Quarterly Cireulars which are supposed to con- tain a true account of the receipts and expenditures of moneys belonging] to the Order tell the story‘of how rap- idly this organization is being bank- rupted 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. Re- port. When Edward H. Morris was in- stalled as Grand Master in January, 1911 there was a cash balance in the| treasury of the G. U. 0. of 0. 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. Acearding to the report of the Grand Seeretary 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 he streets. When the delegates to the B. M. C. meet at Boston they too will ak, “Who got the money? Edward Morris and his financial officers at wave to answer this question. | If they try to throw dust in the eyes if the delegates by saying the Odd Fel- ows Supreme Court has cont a vast win 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 jedges clerk and. marghal are uboat 2550 per year. He can take his yuarterly circular and find that the ex" remses of those officers are less than +750 per year. He will take « bit of paper and pencil and figure that the Supreme Court has cost the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows about 13,800 per year in salaries and ex- fely, 1914, three years ‘and a half, the yg , Concluded from page 1.

Willidms, 184°W. ‘Wash- 6221 B Halsted strest and other Afre- Court has cost the Order less than $11,500, and not a cent more. The quarterly cireular 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 om the Odd Fellows Pn bpea; paid ee The Tone B.C. Hope 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 Oda Fel- lows. 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 HUN. DRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BESIDE! This Morris ad- ministration is just three and one-half years old. It does not legitimately cost Thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) ® year to run the office of the Grand Secretary and to pay the Grand Mas- ter, 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 de- fray the expenses of said Journal; the entire expenses of said Journal shall be defrayed from the receipts of said If in the teeth of that plain provision of the law any amount has been appro- priated for that paper the Sub-Com- mittee of Management should be re- buked 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 re spect 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 noth- ing in it worth reading. The one gen- sral complaint made by the membérs throughout the country is that they are foreed to pay for a paper such as the dd Fellows’ Journal which never -) fery them any value for the money’ hey pay. Any enterprising grocer or | nerchant distributes each week at your joor hand bills advertising his goods that will contain more interesting read- ng matter than can be found in the ddd Fellows’ Journal. It is utterly and hamefully worthless as » newspaper, ind is a sad reflection on the Order to be asued 28 the official organ of this great rraternity. i If the noney hax not been spent on | his little sheet then what has become | if it? The members of the Grand, nited Order of Odd Fellows all orer| his land are demanding to be told, rhat has becoine of the more than one | yundred thousand dollars which has! pee handled by the Morris adminis- ration independent of what has been yeconnted for in thin article.

There "is no need to tell his praises to a pub- ‘lie that knows his work. * * * The Journal is frank to say that in the coming primary election it will sup- port Judge Owens against all the evil influences now marshaled in opposition to him, and support him with a great deal of enthusiasm. “¢We love him for the enemies he has made,”? was said of Grover Cleve- land. The Journal honors and supports Judge Owens for the enemies he has made. Chieago Evening Post Editorial, July 15th, 1914—Starting his term with a partisan indigeretion or two, Judge Owens soon settled down into a career that has done more real good to Chi- eago than that of any other Demo- eratie official. He is the first man in his position really to ‘‘go after’? the fraudulent electoral machinery in the lodging house wards. He has cleared out the Kenna-Cough- lin judges and clerks, both Republican and Democratic, in the First Ward. He has aimed a similar blow at the seand- alous Eighteenth. He has interpreted the Woman’s Suf- frage 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 hu- manity that is unprecedented there. Chamberlin’s Magazine Editorial, Au- gust, 1914—Whatever the factional differences, there is but one course open to the voters at the coming-Democratic primaries who stand for law enforce- ment and clean polities—vote for John E.

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.
