The Broad Ax

The "Patriotic Day" Under the Auspices of the Star Literary Club, at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Was Transformed Into a Political Love Feast. A. H. Roberts, Louis B. Anderson, Major Robert R. Jackson and Edward H. Wright Expended Much of Their Time in Patting Each Other on the Back MR. ROBERTS, AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES, DECLARED WHEN HE WAS ON THE EVE OF INTRODUCING ATTORNEY PATRICK H.

B THE RUNNING FOR THE LEGISL The "Patriotic Day," which was held last Sunday afternoon at the Ebenzer Baptist Church, Thirty-fifth and Dearborn streets, under the auspices of the Star Literary Club, was largely attended; in fact the church was crowded down from the front to the rear with men and women who were in evidence so hear Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell expand the doctrine of true patriotism, and at the end of the meeting forty-one dollars and forty-five cents was collected, which sum was to be expended for tobacco for the members of the Eighth Regiment, who are now at Camp Logan, Houston, Tex. The following program was rendered on that occasion: Music, chorus; invocation, Robert Lewis; Scripture, Prof. Stewart; music; presentation of master of ceremonies, H. E. Humphrey, Adelbert Roberts; solo, "When the Boys Come Home." Mme. Rosalee Tyler, remarks, Rev. J. F. Thomas; instrument, Miss Grace Johnson; remarks, A. L. Jackson, presentation Y. M. C.

Anderson, alderman Second Ward; remarks, Hon. Edward H. Wright, assistant corporation counsel; announcements; benediction. Ushers: Miss Della Duncan, Miss Olivia Jackson, Miss Esther Harris-Perne, Mrs. Mooton, Mrs. Lenora Lewis, Mrs. Lillian Hamilton. No attempt was made to play politics nor to transform the meeting into a political love feast until the time had arrived to introduced Mr. O'Donnell. Then Mr. A. H. Roberts, who is one of our very best friends, played or turned a very smooth political trick. Major Robert R. Jackson, for some reason or other was not down on the program, and as he laid one dollar down on the table and Louis B. Anderson and Edmond H. Wright had failed to do so. At least Mr. Roberts did not about it out if they did he had done when the brilliant major parted with his dollar, and the eloquent master of ceremonies, possibly honestly, felt that Major Jackson was entitled to some more free advertising, and in order to give him a little more Mr. Roberts, who has al- ways had a large supply of words on hand whenever it comes to a showdown to introduce some distinguished personage, even the President of the United States, declared that for once in his lifetime as an orator he was unable to find words to fittingly present Mr. O'Donnell to those who had assembled under the sound of his voice, and after patting Major Jackson on his broad, well-groomed back he induced him to present Mr. O'Donnell to the vast gathering. It was really amusing to note how Mr. Roberts more than bristled and frosted at the mouth with eloquence when he had the great honor of introducing Louis B. Anderson, who let it be known only a short time ago that "Mr. Roberts was not responsible for his utterances; that he was crazy; that no sane or minded person paid the slightest attention to his clatter." Louis B. Anderson leaped clear over on both sides when he waded in to pat Edward H. Wright on the back, and he loudly exclaimed that the gentleman who was to follow him "was one of the very wisest and sanest counselors in Chicago"—meaning Edward H. Wright—and his rash or bold remarks almost caused several of our friends to fall over stone dead right in the church. When we take into consideration the fact that Edward H. Wright was not wise enough nor sane enough to prevent himself from being arrested, convicted and fined in an open court of record like any other common gambler for gambling, Mr. Roberts threw himself wide open when he presented Edward H. Wright. He shouted in a loud voice that "he considered it a distinguished honor to introduce him; that he was a gentleman of splendid parts; that his name is Wright and he is always right; that in the past he had served as South Town clerk; that he served two terms as county commissioner; that he now occupied the most honored and responsible position of any colored man in the state of Illinois." Mr. Roberts was very careful not to state that less than two months ago that Edward H. Wright was caught in a stud poker game, convicted and fined in an open court of record for gambling. Mr. Roberts utterly failed to inform his hearers to the effect that at the memor- CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 ?

Jackson, Anderson and Wright, at the same time loudly branding all three of them "as rank enemies and traitors to the colored race; that Edward H. Wright conducts himself like unto a big African king ever since he succeeded in having or getting his big mouth well greased with a five thousand per year pork chop." It is reported around the City Hall that Louis B. Anderson and Edward H. Wright, the two head colored political bosses of the Second ward, had Capt. Max Nootbaar removed from the Stanton avenue police station for the simple reason that he permitted his officers to raid the home of Mrs. Black, 3454 The Auspices Baptist Church East. A. H. R. Jacks of Their Ti Candidate for jud Hon. George R. Walker, who is one of the best-known and most prominent lawyers in this city and an Independent candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, whose name appears second from the top in the fourth column on the official judicial ballot. He is a native of Akron, Ohio, and for a number of years he has been an honored member of the Ohio Society. He is a graduate of Yale, class of 1878, and member of the faculty of the Illinois College, 1878 to 1879. He has the honor of being associated in the practice of law with the late Henry V. Freeman, from 1882 to 1895. He was also a law partner of S. K. Dow, Esq., Indiana avenue, who is a very warm and close friend of the biggest colored man in the City Hall, early one Sunday morning at the time that Edward H. Wright was arrested for gambling, and some claim that as he is absolutely dead when it comes down to the eternal fitness of things that he feels that he was highly honored in being arrested for playing stud poker. The wise politicians around the City Hall contend that Benjamin H. Lucas will be thrown overboard; that Col. S. B. Turner, who would like to train with the hounds and at the same time run with the hares, who is already a dead cock in the political pit, will be brushed aside at the proper time and that Mr. Edward D. Green will land in the Legislature in 1918. CHICAGOAN, MINISTER TO LIBERIA, DEAD. A telegram from the State Department yesterday informed Mrs. Elinora Curtis, 4317 Forrestville avenue, that her son, James L. Curtis, 47 years old, appointed Minister to Liberia four years ago by President Wilson, died October 24 in Freetown, Africa, as the result of an operation. Mrs. Curtis is prostrated. [Name] HON. GEORGE R. WALKER from 1895 to 1906. He had the distinguished honor of serving as United States Attorney, Southern District of the Indian Territory, under President Theodore Roosevelt. He was also United States Attorney, Third Judicial Division of Alaska, under President William Howard Taft and President Woodrow Wilson, and he displayed a large amount of judicial wisdom in discharging the duties of those responsible positions. He is a member of the Hamilton Club, the Chicago Bar Association and the Lawyers' Association of Illinois. He is also prominent in secret society affairs; he is a member of Garden City Lodge. ATTORNEY WILLIAM A. CUNNEA TO BE ELECTED TO FILL THE VACANCY OF THE LATE JUDGE JOHN GIBBONS ON THE CIRCUIT COURT BENCH OF COOK COUNTY. The voters living in this city and throughout Cook County are very fortunate, indeed, to be able or permitted to vote for a thorough, honorable, up-to-date lawyer to fill the vacancy on the Cireuit Court bench, owing to the death of the late John Gibbons, in the person of William A. Cunnea, who is one of the most polished and gentlemanly lawyers in Chicago. One year ago The Chicago Tribune loyalty supported Mr. Cunnea, notwithstanding the fact that he was a Socialist at that time, for State's Attorney as against the Hon. Maclay Hoyne and the Hon. Harry D. Miller, The Tribune claiming that Mr. Cunnea was by far the best qualified in every way to administer all of the important affairs of that office than either one of his opponents. Knowing Mr. Cunnea, as we do, who possesses a large amount of sound, sane and reasonable ability, The Tribune was uttering the absolute truth when it so highly commended him, and if there No.7 Masons; a member of Elks-Juneau No. 420, B.

He is also a member of Central Church, and private in Illinois Volunteer Training Corps. The long legal training of Mr. Walker especially fits him to preside in any judicial capacity, and the voters residing in this city and Cook County will make no mistake Tuesday, November 6, by selecting him as one of the Judges of the Superior Court—Adv. is anything in the signs of the times, Mr. Cunnea will shortly become one of the honorable Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County. MISS KATHRYN RUTHERFORD IS IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF HON. GEORGE R. WALKER FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. Miss Kathryn Rutherford, who was one of the strongest supporters of Hon. William Hale Thompson in his race for mayor of Chicago in 1915, and who has in the past delivered many speeches in favor of the equality of the colored race, who marshaled fifty-six of the delegates to the last Republican National Convention for Col. Theodore Roosevelt without the aid of a band, is heartily in favor of the election of Attorney George R. Walker for one of the judges of the Superior Court, and she is urging her many friends in all parts of this city to cast their vote in favor of his election on Tuesday, November 6. Attorney F. L.

Madden and all the high priests of the Republican party in that ward were present, except Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson and former Alderman Oscar De Priest, and Mr. Edward D. Green, before the meeting wound up, read the following resolutions in favor of Major Jackson for Alderman: Whereas, The Second Ward Regular Republican Club believes in safeguarding the interests of the Republican party by presenting to the voters candidates for nomination who will command the confidence of the people; and Whereas, We believe that the candidacy of any individual should be based upon personal fitness, together with the best interests of the Republican organization of the Second Ward and the Republican party generally; and Whereas, The cordial relations existing between all racial elements of our ward has resulted in making the Second Ward one of the strongest Republican wards in Chicago, thus developing powerful leaders and useful public servants, thereby giving to the ward a command- 1930 P 1910 HON.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 FAREWELL RECEPTION Wives, sisters, sweethearts and friends give enthusiastic reception to young soldiers from the Fourth District on their departure Monday last, to Camp Grant, Rockford—Addresses by Ex-Governor Chas. S. Deneen, Ex-Alderman Oscar DePriest, Ass't Corporation Counsel Edw. H. Wright, Alderman Louis B. Anderson, Beauregard F. Moseley, R. S. Abbott, Rev. J. W. Robinson. Miss Lillian Hardey played the piano, assisted by Dr. Robinson in singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." By Beauregard F. Moseley. A brilliant, sad and enthusiastic throng of Chicago's patriotic citizens turned out to bid the young men of the Fourth District good-bye, good luck and Godspeed to Rockford last Monday. The parlor, reception room and dining room of the Idlewild Hotel, 50 East Thirty-third street, were crowded to overflowing. Before the arrival of Charles B. Travis, Dr. J. P. Brushingham and Dr. Johnstone Meyers, the Exemption Board of the Fourth District, with the soldiers, who, after some preliminaries were escorted by the Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley, of the Idlewild Hotel, to the dining room, where all were seated and a splendid meal served by Mr. Hudson, the Idlewild chef. During the feast those seated at the speakers' table spoke in the order named. Hon. Oscar De Priest, Hon. Edward H. Wright, representing the Mayor of Chicago, Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley, Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Hon. Johnstone Meyers, Hon. Charles B. Travis, Hon. R. S. Abbott and the Hon. Charles S. Deneen. The divine blessings were invoked by Rev. Robinson, of St. Mark's, who also led in the anthem, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." Mr. Young and Mr. Travis accompanied the boys to Rockford. Speeches were enthusiastically received and seemed to be impressed upon all present. An ovation attended Oscar De Priest upon his appearance. Pictures of the soldiers were taken by several camera men, and the benediction was pronounced at 12 o'clock and the procession marched out of the hotel to the elevated station, led by the speakers, who escorted them to the station. Thus began the journey of the boys of the Fourth District to the trenches in France. POLITICS. Our letter of last week seems to have interested quite a few people, not because there was anything new in it, but because we had come dangerously near telling the truth about some people and some things. My letter last week contained the names of no one except the aspirants for Alderman and the candidates for United States Senator. I shall discuss later the effect the Aldermanic election will have upon the Constitutional Convention, which was authorized by the last Legislature, and endeavor to point out the possible dangers there may be lurking in any program that means the election of those to the Constitutional Convention opposed to the rights of the Negro as now guaranteed by the Constitution of this State. It has been argued by a number of good race men that no better Constitution in any of the States exists than that of Illinois, where the rights of the Negro are safeguarded to a greater extent than any other Constitution in the country, and that any effort to change the Constitution was a blow at the Negro. This may or may not be true, but it is evident that the present Constitution is good enough for us, and it would be wise for the voter to ascertain whether he wishes to take a chance upon an uncertainty for a certainty, and to ascertain whether the Aldermanic situation is not being used to aid those favoring a Constitutional Convention. CONGRESS The First District will present a battle royal for the next few months. The Aldermanic fight and the race for the INCREASE IN DOMESTIC RATES OF POSTAGE. On First-Class Matter, Including Postal and Post Cards. The following increases in rates of postage, according to Postmaster General's Order No. 755, dated October 3, 1917, become effective November 2, 1917: Upon all matter of the first class postage shall be charged at the rate of 3 cents for each ounce or fraction thereof; and drop letters shall be mailed at the rate of 2 cents per ounce or fraction thereof, including delivery at letter carrier offices. (A drop letter is one addressed for delivery from the office at which it is posted. There is no drop rate on any matter except letters.) Postal cards shall be transmitted through the mails at a postage charge of 2 cents each, including the cost of manufacture. It shall be lawful to transmit by mail, at the postage rate of 2 cents apiece. Legislature will pale into insignificance, compared to the fight that the friends of George W. Dixon, late Senator of the First District and present secretary of the Arthur Dixon Transfer Company, purposes to make for him to secure the Primary nomination for Congress over Martin B. Madden. His friends argue that Madden has been in long enough; that he has become a fixture, somewhat ornamental, but absolutely useless; that he has not been heard to say a word concerning the riots at East St. Louis, Houston, Tex., or that it is which the Fifteenth New York, a Colored regiment, recently encountered at the hands of the Alabama White soldiers, who threatened to run them from camp; that he has been rather silent at a time when his constituents and their group of people needed not only the voice, but the active cooperation of a real friend at Washington. They argue that any man who has been instrumental in bringing the present plight of the country about should at least be given time to stay at home and reflect, and that Dixon, whose record and family history is well known and who has youth on his side, and who is a fighter for right, shall be on and after November next Congressman George W. Dixon, of the First District. I have known the Hon. Martin B. Madden for a number of years. He is a clean, conscientious statesman. Whether his enemies, I should not say enemies, or rather friends of Mr. Dixon will be able to make him take the count will be at least interesting. May the best man win. STATE OFFICERS Fred E. Sterling, chairman of the late Republican Campaign Committee, seems to have a cinch for the nomination of State Treasurer. Everybody concedes that it is due him, and that if elected he would make a clean, conscientious and safe State Treasurer. The writer knows Mr. Sterling very well and believes that he will not only make a splendid run for the office, but will be elected, and as such, will make a splendid State officer. . . . The purpose of these letters is to present to the reader every angle of the political situation as it affects the individuals seeking the support of the voter. It is not the purpose of these articles to attack anyone, but to tell the truth about all. JUDICIAL ELECTION. The election next Tuesday, November 6, is an important one, and there are several good men seeking election that are worthy and fitted to wear the judicial ermine. Among them are Judge Albert C. Barnes, Judge Charles M. Foell, Attorney Antone Zeman, Seymour Stedman, Leopold Saltiel and others. These men should be by all means elected, and any others upon the ticket possessing the same degree of judicial temperament, and there are others that the writer is not as well acquainted with as he is those mentioned, and a study of them for the past twenty years enables the writer to recommend them to the voters in Tuesday's election. Politics should not cut any figure in the present election. It is for judges who should be free from political bias or taint and who will recognize individual rights as defined by the law and render to litigants alike, that which the law accords them, regardless of creeds, nationality or religion. Judge Barnes and the others mentioned can be relied upon to do this. payable by stamps to be affixed by the sender, and under such regulations as the Postmaster General may prescribe, written messages on private mailing cards, such cards to be sent openly in the mails, to be no larger than the size fixed by the Convention of the Universal Postal Union, and to be approximately of the same form, quality and weight as the stamped postal card now in general use in the United States. Postage Rates on Letters to Certain Foreign Countries. Pursuant to the above order of the Postmaster General, the letter rate of postage provided for therein will, on and after November 2, 1917, be applicable to letters addressed for delivery in all those countries to which up to that date such mail was transmissible at the rate of 2 cents an ounce or fraction of an ounce. To all other foreign countries, the International Postal Union rate on letters of 5 cents for the first ounce or fraction and 3 cents for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce, continues unchanged under the Revenue Act. 16 REV. JASPER M. HIGGINBOTHAN Rev. Jaseph M.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, fiscal agent for the United States Government in the sale of Liberty Loan bonds, desires publicly to express grateful acknowledgment to the press, to the Liberty Loan committees, to the banks, bond houses and other organizations, and to the vast number of men, women and children who, with enthusiastic devotion, were responsible for the success attained in floating the Second Liberty Loan in the Seventh Federal Reserve District. That such a multitude of people should volunteer is a striking illustration of the spirit of patriotism inherent in the American people. Appreciation in equal measure also is expressed to the many hundreds of thousands of individuals and institutions that have so loyally placed their funds at the disposal of the Government by subscribing for the Liberty Loan. Florence, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hardin of 250 E. 37th street was given a birthday party by her parents on last Monday afternoon, to which many little folks were invited.

The reason we recommend our friend, Leopold Saltiel, for the favorable consideration of our many readers is, that the editor of this publication has known Mr. Saltiel for many years, and from such acquaintanceship knows that he is a true friend of the common people and a staunch friend of the Colored race. Mr. Saltiel, who is a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, to be elected November 6, 1917, is a lawyer of many years' experience, having practiced for over twenty-one years in the courts of this county, and a man who enjoys the respect of his fellow practitioners and the community at large. We know of many instances where he has shown his sympathy with our race in a manner leaving no room for doubt about his attitude. In one case he was nearly assaulted on account of his fiery defense of our race. We are convinced that if elected, Mr. Saltiel will not only be a just and fair judge to all people alike, but will prove himself a true friend of the Colored people. Mr. Saltiel is the senior member of the firm of Saltiel & Rossen with law offices at suite 1044 Unity Building, 127 N. Dearborn St., where the firm has been located for me. In his career as resented a large man in the various courts has shown fearless the defense of the people. Mr. Saltiel's name the Socialist colony we earnestly urge friends to give him port on Tuesday, electing him to be bench the plain o will have a fair judge to sit in judge. PETER T. HARRIS ATTORNEY WILLIAM A. CUNNEA Warm Friend of the Colored Race and Socialist Candidate to Succeed the Late Judde John Gibbons on the Circuit Court Bench. The contest to fill the vacancy on the Circuit Court bench caused by the death of the late John Gibbons promises to be highly exciting and interesting. The Republicans have nominated Anton T. Zeman, an Assistant Corporation Counsel; the Democrats have no nominee, and the Socialists have nominated Attorney William A. Cunnes, who is exceedingly popular with all classes of his fellow citizens and who was in reality elected State's Attorney of Cook County in 1912, to make the race for the Judgeship. MR. LEOPOLD SALTIEL fellow practitioners and the community at large. We know of many instances where he has shown his sympathy with our race in a manner leaving no room for doubt about his attitude. In one case he was nearly assaulted on account of his fiery defense of our race.

Mr. Saltiel is the senior member of the firm of Saltiel & Rossen with law offices at suite 1044 Unity Building, 127 N. Dearborn St., where the firm has Socialist Candidate to Succeed the Late in the Circuit Court Bench. Mr. Cunnea stands very high in the estimation of all of the Colored lawyers in this city, for he always conducts himself like a high-class gentleman and he is absolutely free from race prejudice. Attorney Augustus L. Williams, 184 West Washington street, has been a warm friend of Mr. Cunnea for many years and he knows that he is thoroughly sound on the so-called Race Problem; that he is urging his many friends on Tuesday, November 6, to record their votes in favor of his election to the Gibbons vacancy in the Circuit Court. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 been located for many years. In his career as a lawyer he has represented a large number of our people in the various courts and at all times has shown fearlessness and courage in the defense of the rights of the Colored people. Mr. Saltiel's name appears fourth in the Socialist column on the ballot and we earnestly urge our many readers and friends to give him their hearty support on Tuesday, November 6, and by electing him to the Superior Court bench the plain or the common people will have a fair-minded and square judge to sit in judgment on their affairs. REGISTRATION WEEK During the week of November 5 the Government is asking for the war census of its women. Every patriotic woman is urged to go to the nearest church, school, social center or office building, or whatever place has been secured for that purpose and register for what she has done, what she is doing, what she is willing to do, or what she wants to learn to do. There is nothing political, sectarian or compulsory about it. The country wants to know the war strength and power of its women. Will you help by registering, beginning Monday? Many positions vacated by men will be filled by women at the same wage paid the men.

THE URBAN LEAGUE OF CHICAGO WILL ASSIST WORTHY FAMILIES Recently the Chicago Urban League at 3303 South State street has been asked to find employment, to give relief, or in other ways to assist wives and dependents of soldiers, who have volunteered or have been drafted for service in the United States army. In all cases of real need when suffering is apt to result from the withdrawal of the breadwinner from the family the League is willing to give its assistance and will make special effort to find employment for dependents, and will see that proper agencies give relief. Attention can not be given in these cases, however, unless it is absolutely assured that persons applying are in need, due to service which the head of the family is rendering in the army. P COL. ABRAM DALE GASH Prominent Mason, ex-President of the Illinois Highway Commission, Logical and Interesting Writer; Wide and Favorably Known Member of the Chicago Bar and Independent Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court to Be Voted for at The Judicial Election, Tuesday, November 6th. Col. Abram Dale-Gash, who is one of the most wide and favorably known is one of the candidates for judge of the Superior Court on the Independent ticket, his name being at the top of the list on the ballot, and thousands of Democrats and Republicans, who are progressively inclined, will record their votes in favor of his election. N. La Salle street, which he has occupied from that time to the present. In that length of time he has been connected with some of the most important and far-reaching litigation in Chicago. For four years and over he honorably served as president of the Illinois Highway Commission, being appointed by Governor Edward F. Dunne. He served in the same position under Governor Frank O. Lowden until July 1, 1917 Prior to coming to Chicago to reside in 1898, he was elected state's attorney of Utah County, Utah, for two terms; he having the distinguished honor of being the first non-Mormon to be elected to that office in Utah County in that state. He was a member of Governor Cable W. West's staff, being judge advocate general with the rank of colonel. He was grand master of the Masons of Utah for a number of years. In 1897 he was strongly urged to become a candidate for United States Senator from that state, which honor he declined. In 1898 his friends and political backers pushed him forward for the nomination for Congressman from Utah, but he waved that honor aside and with his family he removed to Chicago to reside, September 14, 1898. Shortly after doing so, he secured an extensive suite of law offices on the sixth floor of the Oxford building, 118 Talks on Health Cleanliness Proper Living Sanitation, Etc. BY Dr. W. A. Driver 3300 So. State St. Phone Douglas 3617 PAINLESS CHILDDBIRTH. Any woman can be given the benefit of the painless method by her family physician in her own home. There is no risk about it. It is safe and sane and efficacious: Painless childbirth can be given without the aid of any instrument. Not even a hypodermic needle is required. It is so simple that women who have said they could not believe it have, after experiencing it, called it marvelously easy. Recently a young mother of five children, who had always been delivered by a midwife, was given the painless method. After the child was born she had to be told of it, tho she had been awake and conscious during the enti proceedings. The only way she could be convinced that the event had actually happened was to be shown the child. She actually thot that labor had just begun. After pains, which had always troubled her except when the first child was born, were almost of trifling importance. The lady had always had distressing an- 17 Iinois Highway Commission, Logical and ably Known Member of the Chicago Bar of the Superior Court to Be Voted for at Tuesday, November 6th. N. La Salle street, which he has occupied from that time to the present. In that length of time he has been connected with some of the most important and far-reaching litigation in Chicago. For four years and over he honorably served as president of the Illinois Highway Commission, being appointed by Governor Edward F. Dunne. He served in the same position under Governor Frank O. Lowden until July 1, 1917, when that office was abolished. Colonel Gash and his happy and highly interesting family reside in a beautiful home of their own at 1512 Juneway terrace. In passing, it is a great pleasure to state that Colonel Gash is one of our best and oldest friends; that we first came in contact with him in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1895; that with the exceptions of a few months his professional card has appeared in the columns of this paper for 22 years; that he is one of the few prominent men in this city or in any other part of the country who are able to rise far above petty race prejudice; that he knows no man by the color of his skin or by the texture of his hair; that at all times he deports himself like a broad or liberal minded cultured gentleman; that he is well versed or grounded in the law; that the voters resided in this city and county, regardless of their political affiliations, will highly honor themselves by electing him to one of the judge- [Name] noyance when the milk arrived in the breasts, and it usually arrived on the third day or later. After the fifth child was born, her first by the painless method, the milk secretion arrived painlessly and so soon as the second day. She was the happiest and most grateful recipient of the benefits of the modern and most humane painless childbirth it has been mine to see. Painless childbirth is for the poor as well as the rich. The cost of the drugs is very little. Any doctor can administer the necessary drugs without an instrument of any kind in a few seconds. He may secure a greater degree of case in a whiff or so of a well known anesthetic as an adjunct to the drugs referred to in the preceding statement. Early in labor just one tablet is put under the tongue and allowed to be absorbed without any effort on the part of the lying-in woman. So great is the power of painlessness that the woman sleeps without any nervousness between the uterine contractions, which have hitherto been known as pains. We must not call them pains when this method is used. Near the end of labor another tablet may be required. Your doctor knows it. Ack him. --- PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue, Republicans, Democrats, Catholics, Protestants, Single Taxers, Priests, infidels or any one else can have their say as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Love, who worked in the steel foundry, was arrested last Saturday evening while returning to his home, 5724 S. State street, and conveyed to the Fiftieth street police station, Forty-eighth street and Wabash avenue. He was charged with stealing a pocketbook belonging to a woman in that neighborhood. The police used him very roughly, striking him several severe blows with their clubs while in the act of locking him up. After doing so they sent for the woman to come and identify him, and after carefully looking at him she declared that he was not the man who had stolen her pocketbook. Then the police permitted him to wend his way on to his home with his head swathed in bandages after he had come in contact with their brutal treatment and their clubs.
