The Broad Ax

Page text (machine-generated)
The Broad Ax Is Neither Democratic Nor Republican; It Is Strictly Independent in Politics and Therein Lies Its Great Power, Influence and Strength; Its Editor in 1916 Did Not Vote for Hon. Charles E. Hughes or Hon. Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States.
THE WRITER HAS MANY FRIENDS IN THE BRUNDAGE, THE DENEEN AND THE THOMPSON FACTIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FRIENDS IN THE SULLIVAN AND THE HARRISON WINGS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND NO BITTER FIGHTS WILL BE WAGED AGAINST THE VARIOUS CANDIDATES, SEEKING THE VOTES OF THE PEOPLE AT PRIMARIES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th, AS LONG AS THEY ARE OUTWARDLY FRIENDLY DISPOSED TOWARDS THE COLORED RACE:
THE DENEEN CAMP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE BROUGHT FORTH THEIR CANDIDATES FOR JUDGES OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
THE HARRISON, DUNNE, O'CONNELL END OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE PLACED THEIR COUNTY TICKET IN THE FIELD.
HON. FRED W. BLOCKI SELECTED TO MAKE THE RACE FOR COUNTY TREASURER. HON. JOHN E. OWENS WILL BUCK UP AGAINST HON. THOMAS F. SCULLY FOR JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT.
Once more we desire to state for those who are absolutely ignorant pertaining to the true mission or the real function of the newspaper, that THE BROAD AX is neither Democratic or Republican; that it is strictly independent in politics, that it never has in the past and it never will in the future knowingly support any candidate for a public office who is unfriendly towards the Colored race, it makes not the slightest difference to us whether he is a loud mouthed shouting Republican or a ranting unwashed Democrat, they both look alike to us if they are not true blue Americans and lovers of all the sons and daughters of humanity.
It was stated over and over again in the columns of the leading Colored newspapers throughout the United States in 1916, that the Hon. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for president of the United States, was very cold towards all Colored people—that in fact he did not entertain a very high opinion of them and that he had no use for them except to secure the votes so that he would be able to ride into power and honor on their backs; under those conditions we could not see our way clear to record our votes in favor of the elo-
On the other hand the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the first part of November 1914, after more than six hundred thousand Colored men had followed the advice of the late Bishop Alexander Matters and voted for Mr. Wilson for president in 1912, President Wilson in his famous running interview at the White House with Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass., requested him to return to his home and inform the Colored people throughout the country through the columns of his newspaper to vote against him in 1916, so we passed him up at the presidential election in 1916.
As stated above the writer has many friends belonging to the Brundage, the Deneen; and the Thompson factions of the Republican party and friends training with the Sullivan and the Harrison wings of the Democratic party and no bitter fights will be made in these columns on any of the worthy candidates seeking the votes of the people in this state, city and county at the primaries Wednesday, September 11th.
The followers of Hon. Charles S. Deneen have at last ground out the

ident of the U
candidates for Judges of the Municipal Court and they are as follows:
Chief justice—Harry Olson, Twenty-fifth ward.
Associate justices—Daniel P. Trude, Sixth ward; Leo L. Brunhild, Sixth ward; Arnold Heap, Fourteenth ward; Michael F. Girten, Thirty-first ward; Louis Pinderski, Twenty-seventh ward; William N. Gemmill, Sixth ward; John F. Tyrrell, Thirty-fifth ward; George B. Holmes, Thirty-second ward; Earl C. Hales, Thirty-first ward; William W. Maxwell, Second ward. For the Uhir vacancy, Otto L. Kolar, Thirty-fourth ward.
"We never have started into a fight of any kind, primary or otherwise, with a finer organization than we have here tonight," was the statement of former Gov. Deneen. "This is the best battling contingent, in my judgement, that ever has been put together in Cook county Republican politics."
Committees Named.
Details of the machinery for conduct of the primary contest were completed by the naming of the executive committee, the managing committee, and of the committees on organization, publicity, and halls and speakers.
Mr. Deneen is to be the executive head of the organization, with this managing committee: Roy O. West, Thomas J. Healy, Edward R. Litzinger, Joseph F. Haas, Neils Juul, Joseph F. Kinsella, Lewis D. Sitts, John F. Devine, Henry D. Capitain, and Joseph Macauley.
All the candidates on the Deneen slate were present and spoke.
Headquarters are to be opened this morning on the fifth floor of Hotel Morrison.
The Anti-Sullivan Democrats have placed the following ticket in the field to be voted for at the primaries September 11th:
Sherif, John P. Gibbons, Sixth ward; County Treasurer, Fred W. Blocki, Twenty-fifth ward; County Clerk, Richard J. McGrath, Seventeenth ward; County Judge, John E. Owens, Thirteenth ward; Probate Judge, Henry Horner, Third ward; Clerk Probate Court, Roy Barnett, Twenty-fifth ward; Clerk Criminal Court, James Hyland, Thirty-second ward; Members Board of Assessors, Michael Rossnberg, Thirty-fourth ward, Joseph Pionki, Twenty-fourth ward; President County Board, Frank Eagen, Twenty-ninth ward; Chief Justice Municipal Court, Michael F. Sullivan, Eighteenth ward; Clerk Municipal Court, Dennis Horan, Eleventh ward; Balliff Municipal Court, George McGuirn, Fourteenth ward.
The Harrison Democrats acted very wisely in placing Hon. Fred W. Blocki and Hon. John E. Owens on the ticket, for they are both well and favorably known and they will put up highly interesting fights against their opponents

Charles W. Peters, Republican candidate for Sheriff of Cook county, is 59 years of age. He was educated in the public schools of this city, after which he took a three years' course in the Metropolitan Business College.
He entered the employ of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in the Treasurer's Office in 1876, the Northwestern National Bank in 1880; was appointed a Deputy Sheriff under Canut R. Mattson in 1886, reappointed by James H. Gilbert in 1890, promoted to Chief Deputy by James Pease, Sheriff, in 1894 and has been reappointed Chief Deputy by all sheriffs elected since that time.
Mr. Peters was a member and served for a number of years in Troop A of the First Illinois Cavalry. He is also a member of the Veteran Corps of that organization. He belongs to the Rogers Park Defense League, is also a member of many fraternal, social and other organizations. Chief among them are The Golden Rule Lodge A. F. & A. M., Wiley M. Egan Chapter Royal Arch Masons, Chicago Commandery Knights Templar, Medinah Temple Mystic Shrine, Arion Council Royal League No. 11,
Mrs. George F. Harding, wife of State Senator George Harding, Jr., has for the past seven months been confined to the Presbyterian Hospital, hovering between life and death. Every night for many weeks Senator Harding has spent his time at the Hospital anxiously waiting and watching the outcome of the

The courteous, honest and popular public servant of the people and Republican candidate for the nomination for Sheriff of Cook County.
MR. CHARLES W. PETERS
Pistakee Yacht Club, Wicker Park English Lutheran Church, and the Men's Club of the St. Paul Ev. Lutheran Church. Mr. and Mrs. Peters reside in a lovely home at 1708 Kenilworth Avenue, Rogers Park, and they are the proud and happy parents of two lovely and highly accomplished daughters. One was united in marriage to Mr. H. B. Wilco and the other one to Mr. John D. Erickson, each having three bright and highly interesting children.
It can be truthfully said to the great credit of Mr. Peters that for more than twenty-five years he has creditably served as Chief Deputy Sheriff of Cook county. That during all of those years he has run or conducted the affairs of the Sheriff's office in the minutest detail; that all of those years the citizens of this city and of Cook county can point with pride to the self evident fact that no scandal of any kind has wrapped its alimy tail around the sheriff's office, which speaks volumes for the executive ability and the far sightedness of Mr. Peters' who is honest through and through, to the backbone. Mr. Peters freely lets it be known,
serious illness of his constant and devoted wife. The thousands of friends of Senator Harding in all walks of life in this city, greatly sympathize with him at this time and earnestly hope that Mrs. Harding will gradually be restored to good health, so that she will be able to enjoy the comforts of her pleasant home.
that he is the servant of the people and not their political masters; that Democrats, Republicans and those of other political faiths, White and Colored, the rich or the poor, the high or the low, have always received the same treatment or consideration from his hands in the Sheriff's office; that for thirty years as a public servant, he has never known any one by their religious creed or lack of religion.
It might be well to state at this time, that every Colored man in Cook county should not hesitate for one minute in recording his vote in favor of the nomination of Mr. Peters, for sheriff, for he has the backbone to enforce the laws at all times and with men like him in the Sheriff's office, there will be no danger of any race riots occurring in this city or county like those that occurred in St. Clair county at East St. Louis, Ill., for he would swear in the proper kind of deputy sheriffs who would be in sympathy with his broad catholic spirit and who would assist to protect the lives and the property of all the citizens alike, regardless of their color or nationality, throughout Cook county.
J. N. Blackshear, 3815 Vernon avenue, who is one of the most accurate and reliable clerks in the Board of Local Improvements, states that "his breast expanded very wide with race pride while he was engaged in reading his copy of the last issue of The Broad Ax, which was brim full of highly interesting news."

Well known among the legal profession of Chicago as "Habeas Corpus" Anderson, Republican candidate for member of the legislature of this State from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois.
Mf. W. G. Anderson, who is well known to the people of Chicago for the many habeas corpus and criminal trials won by him, including the celebrated Captain George Wellington Streeter habeas corpus case, when he single-handed secured the release of the captain from the Joliet penitentiary under a life sentence, the Jack Dennison murder case, the Essie Stewart murder case, the Jack Johnson $300,000 bail bond case, the celebrated Steve Green extradition case, and hundreds of others which brought him much fame, is being pushed by his many friends as a candidate for representative of the third senatorial district, to succeed the Hon. Major Robert R. Jackson, recently elected alderman.
Two years ago Mr. Anderson was a candidate for the same office, and as the result of the fight Mr. Anderson had the largest number of votes next to the two successful candidates, the result being as follows: Jackson, 1st, elected; Schulz, 2d, elected; W. G. Anderson, 3d; William L. Martin, 4th; Mr. Koon, 5th; David Robinson, 6th. And although not having any representatives at the polls on primary election day, Mr. Anderson polled 1400 votes.
On account of the hard fight Mr. Anderson made in the court on injunction proceedings as attorney for the "wets" against Mayor Thompson two years ago, when the Mayor closed the saloons on Sunday, it is expected that the "wets" of the district will line up pretty strongly for Mr. Anderson, as the national prohibition amendment comes up before the Illinois legislature at its next session for ratification or rejection. Mr. Anderson is well-known as a race man and has done much for his people. Four years ago he got out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Tuthill and, with the aid of Attorney Ed. Wright and Dr. Carey, saved poor Steve Green, who had killed his plantation boss down in Arkansas (who had fitted at Green because Green was leaving the plantation to better his condition, and Steve Green fired back in self-defense), from going back to Arkansas to be burned at the stake. This case, which attracted much attention at the time, is still fresh in the memory of the citizens of Chicago. The sheriff of Arkansas had gotten Steve Green out of Chicago and as far as Cairo, where he was taken off the train by the sheriff of Cairo, in response to telegraphic instruction from the sheriff of Cook county, acting under Judge Tuthill's writ of habeas corpus, and after a hot fight before Judge Tuthill, lasting nearly ten days, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wright had Steve Green discharged, and Mr. Green is a free man today.
He also saved Mrs. Mary Howard on a writ of habeas corpus from going back to Tennessee for stealing five chickens valued at $2.50. The sheriff had come all the way here from Nashville, Tennessee to Chicago to bring her back. Judge Dever issued a writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Anderson and he again scored a big point. Later on the Chicago Examiner sent Mr. Anderson to oppose the electrocution of Virginia Christian, sen-
tenced to be electrocuted at Richmond, Va., for the alleged killing of her mistress. On account of the youth of the girl—17 years old—and the fact that she was half-witted, the Chicago Examiner took an interest in her case and sent W. G. Anderson down to Richmond, Va., to plead with Governor Mann for her life, and although the undertaking was a very serious one—going south to oppose the electrocution of a Negro girl charged with killing her White employer —Mr. Anderson bravely went there, at the risk of his life, and pleaded for one solid hour with the governor to save the life of the girl.
The many friends of Mr. Anderson urge him for the legislature, believing that he has the undisputed ability to properly fill the office of representative with credit to himself and honor to his people, and to cope with the many questions which will come up at the next session of the legislature affecting our people's interests.
The fight is expected to grow hotter as the campaign advances, and The Broad Ax will watch the future developments of the campaign with much interest and give credit where credit is due. Mr. Anderson was born in New Orleans, La., forty-seven years ago, but he has lived in Chicago since he became twelve years old, most of which time in the Second Ward.
The Broad Ax takes pleasure in reproducing the subjoined article published under date of June 1st, last, with reference to the candidacy of W. G. Anderson, who is gaining much headway in his fight for nomination as one of the two State Representatives in the Third Senatorial District of Illinois.
W. G. Anderson, who has heretofore won great fame as an expert habeas corpus and criminal court lawyer, an account of whose candidacy The Broad Ax published on June 1, was lucky enough to draw third place on the official ballot for State Representative. Herman F. Schultz of the Fourth Ward drawing first place, Dell Roberts of the Second, second place and W. G. Anderson of the Second Ward, third place. In all nine men offer themselves to the voters of the Third Senatorial District for the two positions to be voted on by the people on Sept. 11th—five Colored men and four Whites, the order of filing, nationality of each candidate and position on official ballot on Sept. 11th being as follows:
1. Herman F. Schultz, German, 4th ward.
2. A. H. Roberts, Colored, 2nd ward.
3. W. G. Anderson, Colored, 2nd ward.
4. Warren Douglas, Colored, 2d ward.
5. E. G. Arnold, White, 1st ward.
6. E. A. Munger, White, 3rd ward.
7. James Simma, Colored, 2nd ward.
8. E. C. Arthur, White, 3rd ward.
9. D. R. Robinson, Colored, 2nd ward.
Ex-Alderman DePriest has two entries from his faction—Douglas and Simma, but the wise ones of the 2nd ward say that the fight is really between Roberts, Anderson and Douglas for the

two positions to be filled—Schulz being eliminated from all consideration. Anderson is conceded to have a good chance of being one of the two elected. Two years ago Mr. Anderson ran well in a field of six against heavy odds. To open up the campaign the friends of Mr. Anderson give a SMOKER in his honor at Odd Fellows Hall, 3335 State street, on Wednesday, August 7th, 8:30 p. m., to which the public is invited and at which Mr. Anderson's friends are expected to pass a pleasant evening smoking clear Havanas while toasting to his health and success on Sept. 11th. A number of Chicago's leading business men are down on the program for 3-minute speeches on that occasion.
Mr. Anderson's campaign headquarriers are at 3231 Street street. "C"

On Sunday afternoon, Mrs. John R. Marshall, 3630 Calumet Avenue, assisted by Miss Essie Arnold were at home in honor of Mrs. Burt A. Williams, wife of America's most noted comedienne, and a native of Chicago.

Prior to the commercial review there were short addresses by Messrs. Ellis, Clack and Jackson. There was also music and a vaudeville show. Wm. C. Linton was manager of the whole affair and on the whole it was highly interesting.

The Sunday morning newspapers of July 21 contained the full report of the Legislative Voters' League in relation to the retiring members of the Legislature of Illinois and its referred to Hon. Benjamin H. Lucas in the following manner:
"Benjamin H. Lucas, representative (Rep.); insurance, 2336 S. Dearborn street, Chicago. Ending his first term. One of the best representatives that the colored race has had in the legislature. His general voting record was good and with experience he should make a very useful member."

[Name]
MR. EDWARD D. GREEN
Father of the Anti-Mob bill of Illinois; Secretary of the Pythian Temple Commission; strong supporter of Mayor William Hale Thompson for United States Senator and Republican candidate for the nomination for the Legislature from the First Senatorial district of Illinois.
Mr. Green is so well known to the people of this city and throughout the state of Illinois that he does not need any long introduction to the many readers of this paper. He has resided in Chicago since the early 80's and he has worked himself up from the most humble surroundings and beginnings, until today he is one of the most prominent characters among the Colored people in the state of Illinois.
For some years he has honorably served as secretary of the Pythian Temple Commission.
In 1904 Mr. Green was elected to the legislature from the first senatorial district of Illinois and during the session of that body he secured the passage of his Anti-Mob Bill or Law, which has become a permanent part of the organic laws of this state, and among its provisions the governor has the right to remove any sheriff who permits mob and lynch law to prevail in his county, and Governor Charles S. Deneen removed Sheriff Davis, of Alexander county, for permitting a Colored man to be mobbed and lynched while in his charge.
Mr. Green's Anti-Mob Bill holds the county liable for the destruction of property during the reign of mob and lynch law, and the people of Sangamon county in 1908 were forced to pay many thousands of dollars to the victims of the mob, who resided in Springfield at that time.

secretary of the Pythian Temple Commission; Hale Thompson for United States Senator nomination for the Legislature from the First every thing or movement for the advancement and the protection of the Colored race, it goes without saying that he will be nominated and elected to the legislature from the first senatorial district of Illinois.
Aside from securing the passage of his Anti-Mob Bill, Mr. Green and the late Maj. John C. Buckner, had the Civil Rights Bill, amended, which follows, Mr. Green adding on that part in relation to ice cream parlors, soda fountains, cemetery lots for the burial of the dead.

(Special to The Broad Ax.) Boston, Mass.—Great interest has been taken here in the attitude of Hon. Moorfield Storey as expressed by himself toward the National Colored Liberty Congress which called 115 delegates to Washington from 30 states and at the close of a whole week's sessions with five nightly mass meetings had a race petition presented to Congress and entered in the records of the House asking for the enforcement of democracy for Colored Americans. The interest was the greater because of Dr. Dubois' editorial in the Crisis against agitation in war time and the attempt of Major Spingarn to prevent the Congress.
Without being consulted at all Mr. Storey sent the following letter to the Executive Secretary:

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JULY 27, 1918
CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO HAILS FROM KANSAS, AFTER "NOSING" AROUND IN CHICAGO, LIT OUT FOR POINTS IN ARKANSAS AND OTHER POINTS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Texarkana, Ark.-The world continues to move and it would seem that I am moving with it, but not so fast as the world, yet I am doing my part. I am praying and working all in my power to help my country win this war, and when we win I am going to shout all over the United States, and I will have a right to shout.
Of course you know I have been to Chicago, and I have had a few things there to cheer me up. I was greatly inspired. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Editor Taylor, and he made me feel like that I was some pumpkins. He told me how well pleased he was with my efforts, and told me if I kept it up I would make a real newspaper man in twenty years from now, for which I desire to thank him and say that I am going to keep on trying, sink or swim. I am praying the Lord to let me live twenty years.
There were many things in Chicago to claim my attention. I had the pleasure of getting around a little July 4, meeting some of the people and going with my private secretary to see the natural sights of the town. Then Sunday morning I went to the Institutional Church, and Dr. Carey was having a drive there. I have heard of drives, but I tell you them people did put some money on the table for the church work. They are getting ready to meet some debts and then getting ready for conference which is to meet in September in Evanston, Ill. I hope to be there. Dr. Carey has the indorsement of the whole country, and it strikes me that he is going to be a bishop in 1920.
After getting around in Chicago and meeting the young reporter on the Broad Ax, Charles Stewart, Jr., I got myself together and started for another part of the world. It was 1 o'clock Monday night when I shook hands with my private secretary, and made it to the stable where I got on the Rock Island road trains for Peoria where I changed after a hard night's sleep, getting up out of the bed car in the town, and then changed over to another for Canton, where was to meet the Wood River Baptist Sunday school convention.
I reached the place about 9 o'clock and the Rev. F. W. Penick and others were there to meet me, and told me that I was to stop at the parsonage, which was next door to the church. I was received by the president and others, and then Mrs. Florence Cook, of Quincy, invited me to go to the country for supper. This invitation was accepted, and in company with Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Alberta McKinzie, of East St. Louis, Mrs. Hattie Wells of Champaign, and Rev. Dykes of Quincy, the trip was made, and I don't know when I have seen so much chicken piled up on a table.
I returned to the parsonage, in time for the night services, and I tell you that I put my hat up and didn't see it any more until Friday, thus you see I was stuck to the convention, going to the church to my room, and all meals were served in the church.
Rev. Penick is a young misister and is making his way to the front. He comes from the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, Lynchburg, and in Canton he has just made a place for himself and the race. He has the respect of the White people to the extent that they opened the doors to entertain the delegates as well as our own people, and the mayor was represented with an address of welcome, and the Rev. Dr. McKee, pastor of the First Baptist church, not only delivered an address of welcome, but showed us that he meant every word of it, for his home was open, his church was open, and the closing session of the convention was held in the First Baptist Church, and fully 500 White people were out and a large number of our own people.
The closing address was delivered by Charles Stewart, of Chicago, and it was one patriotic address. I will not be able to tell you all about it this time. We are proud of our Rev. Penick and the work he is doing there in that city. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the best Sunday school workers, such as Mrs Penick, Miss Elizabeth Smith, of Quincy; Miss Florence Pamplin, of Danville, Ill.; Miss Roger Williams, a little
girl 13 years old and one of the brightest girls I have ever met, she is indeed interesting; Rev. E. H. Borden, Rev. G. C. Mason, Rev. W. H. Snowden, of Springfield, Rev. Emanuel, Rev. Porter, of Springfield, and many others.
Mrs. Eva Welcum-Carter had me go out Friday night with her to the Country Club where she was stopping and where I met two of the finest young people I have ever known, Mr. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Shoots, the steward of the Club. He is a wholesale and wholesoul man. I was indeed proud to see him and meet his entertaining wife.
Now then I got away from there, and turned my attention to other things, going to Galesburg, to speak for the Rev. W. B. M. Scott, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. He has gone to Camp Taylor to prepare for chaplain in the United States army. We all wish him well, and a special prayer was offered for him. He was happy, but at last had to cry. I told him it was not the place of a soldier.
Galesburg is a beautiful little city, and they have some live people, there. It was a pleasure for me to be there and ride around in the automobile of John Brown, drawn by a beautiful horse he called Angel Face. Off to St. Louis, saw that fine building being erected by the Porc college. It is some fine building, and the people are all proud of it. I will have to enter into details later.
One day spent in St. Louis, one day in Newport, Ark., one day in Little Rock, a trip out to Camp Pike, where so many of our young men are getting ready for war. Have you ever been in a home when the son was leaving for war! It is a sad scene. I was in the home of Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college, and secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist convention. It was their oldest son Robert, the lawyer, who was called to colors. The mother went down town with him the day before his departure getting some little things for him. But in the morning when he had to leave you could see them all wiping their eyes.
They told him good-bye, but of course they will get to see him again before he leaves for France or some other port, because he has gone to Camp Pike. He will have the pleasure of dropping in to see them again, and that will renew their sadness, especially when it is getting near the time for them to leave for the hold country. He is a brilliant, brave young man, and I am sure that he will win promotions. He will win a commission and even before he goes to France. I shall say more later.
Have you heard about the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, North Carolina? It is the wealthiest company now operated by us. John Merrick is president and C. C. Spaulding is vice-president and general manager and A. M. Moore, M. D., is secretary and treasurer. Three strong men and business men. This company has for some time been operating in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, District of Columbia, and now it has gone right in Tennessee with Ira T. Bryant, general agent for the state. They will write in that state policies from five dollars to five thousand. We are happy when we see our people doing these things.
I failed to tell you that I made a hike from Little Rock to Pine Bluff, then to the place where I am as I write to you this week, but I will soon be from here going to Texas. I hope to send you a few lines from Texas. I am going back to Camp Pike next week and from there will go to Newport, Ark., to spend another day with Prof. E. P. Wheeler, a young man who graduated from the Arkansas Baptist college, went to work as carrier in the post office and he holds the position today. I must stop now until next time.

ILLINOIS CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AND EXHIBIT, AUGUST 13,
14, 15, 1918
Wendel Phillips High School, 39th St,
at Prairie Ave.
The Illinois Centennial Celebration and Exhibit, August 13, 14, and 15, 1918 at Wendell Phillips High School, 39th Street at Prairie Avenue, Chicago, from noon until 10 P. M., given under the auspices of the Chicago Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, co-operating with the Illinois Centennial Commission, is going to be worth your attention. Make your plans so that you will be free to give your entire time and attention to the study of the exhibits and learn the many interesting things and matter of vital importance to the history of Illinois.
The Federation women, under the able leadership of Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter, have perfected a most illuminating program. Each day and evening will portray the progress of the race in exhibit, music, dialogue and art, and the children, youth and more mature will strive for prizes of war savings stamps, thrift stamps and Liberty bonds. Demonstrations in war work will be a feature of the occasion.
The celebration is designed to encourage pride in the state history of each particular group and enmasse, to excite a larger patriotic vision. The whole affair will find us at the end of the period, much better prepared to strive for world democracy and at the same time we hope the Federation will be substantially benefited so that it can accomplish its peculiar line of work during the period of the war.
Admission, adults 25 cents and children, 10 cents, including war tax. Exhibit space can be obtained by addressing Mrs. J. Snowden-Porter, General Chairman, 3302 Rhodes Ave., Chicago, Phone, Douglas 1596—Adv.
Mayor William Hale Thompson spoke at Quinn Chapel last Sunday on the occasion of the celebration of the 17th anniversary of the church. A huge rally was held which raised more than $3,000 for the benefit of the church.

‘The invartablé depression that comes
with the beginning of deafness is
strangely and intensely overpowering.
It exists sometimes indefinitely. The
word depression, as commonly used,
admits of varied shades of meaning,
writes Margaret Baldwin, in the At-
lantic. It all but carries with it a
vague impression of lack of will-power,
& more or less voluntary indifference to
moral effect. But let no one suppose
that its use here indicates any mere
Gull, dispirited outlook on life, or any
other voluntary mental view of one’s
self or one’s future. There is nothing
voluntary about it
It is a feeling deeply physical as well
as mental—a mingled condition of woe-
ful sickness and sadness that beggars
description. The distress and shock
over what has happened to one and
the first experience of what it is like,
ls the initial factor, But considering
what {t ought to be as compared with
the shock of blindness, which, it seems
to me, must be sufficient to produce
Dermanent biackest despair, the de
Dreasion of deafness is out of all pro
portion. -
