The Broad Ax

[Image of a man in a suit with a tie, looking slightly to the right. The background is dark. There is no text or additional details in the image.] --- M. Hon. James W. Breen, Republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court, was born in this city August 11, 1873, receiving his early education in its public schools from which he in time graduated from them with all the honors due him. At the end of that period he attended the Bryant and Stratton Business College and the old Chicago Athenaeum, where he completed his commercial education. Later on in life he graduated with the highest honors from the law department of the Lake Forest University. Mr. Breen was admitted to the Chicago Bar and the Illinois Bar in 1897 and later on he received his commission to practice in the United States Supreme Court at Washington, D. C. It must be said to the great credit of Mr. Breen that he has been one of the many successful practitioners and most popular members of the Chicago Sus Association. He served with honor to himself and to the citizens of Chicago as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Chicago under the late mayor, Fred A. Busee, from 1907 to 1911. For almost four years Mr. Breen has honorably served as Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, and he is one of the best and most brainy aides that Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson has connected with his office, and at all times Mr. Breen conducts himself like a high-class gentleman. For more than 25 years Mr. Breen, who is still single, handsome, pleasant and very manly in his bearing, has resided with his highly honored parents in their own lovely home at 5241 South Morgan street. In conclusion it is freely admitted by the vast majority of the lawyers in this city that with his splendid legal training that he will make an ideal Judge of the Municipal Court. NOAH D. THOMPSON OF LOS AN GELES, CALIFORNIA, STILL STANDS BY THE BROAD AX. The following letter speaks for itself: Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 9th. My dear Mr. Taylor: I am pleased to enclose my check to cover the attached statement, and I want you and Mrs. Taylor to know that both Mrs. Thompson and I read The Broad Ax regularly and enjoy it. I was particularly pleased to read your recent article on the late Senator Tillman. If I am not mistaken, I had the honor of accompanying you and your party to the mayor's office when you protested against Mr. Tillman. HON. ALBERT NOWAK Hon. Albert Nowak, who is winding up his second term as one of the honest commissioners of Cook county, was born in Poland in 1860, and came to Chicago in 1874, where he has met with great success in life and in business. He started his career as a hard working man at that time, being a member of the 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 street, and Mr. and Mrs. Nowak are strict members of the Roman Catholic Church. He is an honored member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Polish National Alliance and several other societies. He is a member of the National Union. He was 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 busi- HON. EDWARD J. GLACKIN Hon. Edward J. Glackin was born in Canada and came to Chicago with his parents to reside when he was a boy one year old, receiving his common and academic education in the schools of this city. He is a successful manufacturer of ventilators. Mr. Glackin is a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, and he and his lovable wife reside in a pleasant home at 745 Lytel street. He was elected to the legislature of Illinois in 1904 from the seventeenth senatorial district. He was elected to state senate from the same district in 1906-1910-1914 and will be renominated and re-elected in 1918. Senator Glackin has always manfully championed the cause of the Colored people in the state senate against all discriminatory legislation. As the able Secretary of the Local Board of Improvements he is one of the best and most popular public officials of the City Hall. Mrs. Thompson joins me in kindest regards to both you and Mrs. Taylor. Trusting all will continue to go well with you, I am, It is true that Mr. Thompson was a member of the committee which we had selected to accompany us to call on Mayor Edward F. Dunne on Tuesday morning, November 20th, 1906, to protest against permitting the late Senator Benjamin R. Tillman from lecturing in Orchestra Hall Tuesday evening, November 27th, of that same year, and aside from the late Robert M. Mitchell the writer has no warmer or truer friend in the United States than our old friend, Noah D. Thompson. ness sense, of the strictest integrity. For more than twenty years he has been handling other people's money in amounts which at the present time average more than three hundred thousand dollars year, 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 ably represents that class of Polish-American citizens who have done so much to give Chicago the high standing which it now holds among the municipalities of the world. Since becoming one of the county commissioners Mr. Nowak has amply proven himself to be the right man in the right place; at all times he has been ever ready to, as a county official, to aid those of all races who were in distress, and it goes without saying that the voters residing in this city made no mistake when they selected honest Albert Nowak as one of their public officials, and that the voters will renominate and re-elect him to his present position this coming fall. This is free to all the people of Chicago suffering from tuberculosis. One million dollars is available each year for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Resolution appointing a commission of five to investigate and report to the Legislature a draft of a bill providing for Old Age Pensions for workingmen, and also for compensation to workingmen for injuries received in the course of their employment. The first commission of its kind appointed in the United States. Through Senator Glackin's effort an appropriation of $100,000 was obtained for the relief of the families of the miners who died in the Cherry Mine disaster. Senator Glackin secured an appropriation of $10,000 for the relief of the earthquake sufferers in southern Italy and Sicily. Passed a law making Saturday afternoon a legal half holiday. Passed various laws which save the city of Chicago and taxpayers a million dollars annually. Stands for and fought for Home Rule for Chicago, and Municipal Ownership of Public Utilities; Workingman's Old Age Pension; Free Medical Attention for Mothers and Infants, and is with the flag all the way. His public career shines forth without one bleimish and the hard work which he put forth in order to secure the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium and Free Medical Attention for mothers and infants, regardless of their race or nationality, will ever stand as a living monument to his memory and able statemanship.

GRAND OPENING OF NEW OI ORED BANE. + By Lawyer Westfield. Several hundred persons attended the opening of the new institution of BR. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, at 4757 South State street, ast Thursday morn- ing, August 15, from 10 to 12 a. m. This new bank gives proof of the enterprise and energetic qualities of ‘those in charge. The air of business and finance ‘seems to be in the very. atmosphere ‘which surrounds the building in which ‘the bank is loeated, and as one enters the door and notes the massive oak fixtures, designed in the Intest style, it reminds one of a Wall Street concern in New York City. On one side of the room is placed a number of handsome desks at which the large number of clerical force is stationed, including bookkeepers, stenographers and receiv- Ing tellers. Private-rooms are being constructed which will be occupied by the officers of the bank. Recommendations from leading men of both races all over the city make evidence for the sterling qualities, hon- esty and integrity of the board of di- rectors and officers. Many distinguished visitors called at the new bank to con- gratulate the President and his officers upon the new institution, among whom were ex-Secretary F, E, ‘DeFrantz, of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A, and City Editor Carey B. Lewis, of the Chicago Detender. Opening exercises were conducted, President R. W. Hunter acting as Mas- ter of Ceremonies, and the following speakers were listened to with the great- est interest: Editor Chandler Ower of the Messenger, Rev. Dr. F. G. Snelson, Elder Roles, Mr. William C. Lirton, manager; Mr. M. C.'B. Mason, manager of the Real Estate Department, and others. At the close of the program President Hunter fittingly told of the aims and purposes of the new bank and that the institution was under State su- pervision and cautioned members of the Race against lack of faith, beeause there was more than enough money on hand to meet all emergencies; further, that the company had met all the re- quirements of the State of IMinois, and he askéd support of the institution not because it was Colored but because it offers the same investments and securi- ties thit any other organization does in the entire country, regardless of color. ‘The speakers pledged their support to the new bank and praised the extent to which the responsible men had gone to make this institution safe and secure. They also praised the extent to which they had gone to facilitate the interests nf the Colored people, and they were very enthusiastie’about the future, Each. department of the bank is sep- arate in its location, hewing -ffices different parts éf the foom.

VA. . It WAR WORK. Charleston, W. Va.—In the state-wide primary, held last Tuesday, three Col- ored men were nominated on the Repub- lican ticket in as many counties for member of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kim- berly, Payette county; Harry J. Cspe- hart, Keystone, McDowell county; and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kanawha county. Legislative candidates, in fact mem- bers, of that branch of the state govers- ment, are not novelties in West Virginia, few terms baving passed in the last twenty years without race representa- tion. But at no time before have there deen so many candidates, nor has Ka- axwha county before given a Coléred man a nomination, though there were two previous attempts. ‘The Honor of breaking through the barriers came to T. G. Nutter, an at- torney at law, former Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, now Grand Chancel- lor of the Knights of Pythias and secre- tary-treasurer of the bank recently ar- ganised hero by Colored citizens. Of the six nominated from among fourteen candidates Nutter was third. 3 Mr. Capehart is also an attorney; and, coming as he does from s rock-ribbed Republican county, is most cortain of election. The other nominee, Mr. Cole- man, is a laboring man, having worked in various capacities around coal mines all his life. He was second of the four winners among six candidates. ‘The Colored population in none of theee counties is ono sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one tenth. t NOTES IN RELATION TO ¥..W, 0.

CERMAK Candidate OR RIFF SEPTEMBER 11th 1918 OLD BLOCK PRINTS Invention Is Credited to the Chinese in Year 592. Books Not In Competition. With Manuscripts Until the Middle of the Tenth Century. Printing from blocks is said to have been invented in China in 592 A. D. during the enlightened reign of Yank Chien, the founder of the progressive but short-lived Sui dynasty. Printed books, however, asserts a writer in the Oriental News and Comment, did not compete with manuscripts until the middle of the tenth century. From that time block printing developed very rapidly, resulting in a great cheapening and wide diffusion of books and the consequent rapid decline of the copyist's trade. No doubt the rapid dissemination of learning this entailed had much to do with the great intellectual progress made in China during the Sung dynasty, from 900 to 1280 A. D., which has been called the "protracted Augustan age of Chinese literature." Disregarding the manuscript works of the great Tang dynasty (618-907 A.D.), which were doubtless tenfold more numerous and more important than the contemperate literary works of the whole western world, the printed books of the Sung Yuan and the early part of the Ming dynasties up to the middle of the fifteenth century have no counterpart at all in Europe. They existed in countless thousands of volumes. In 1406 the Imperial Ming library contained printed works to the extent of more than 300,000 chuan (books) and more than twice as many manuscripts, and already many printed works of the Sung dynasty had been lost during the disorders incident to the protracted wars with the Mongols. Undoubtedly more books were printed in China than in all the rest of the world up to the middle of the seventeenth or the beginning of the eighteenth century. The great bulk of Chinese works, aside from the Confucian classics, is historical or literary, the latter being mostly essays, short poems, or critiques. There exists also a vast Buddhistic literature and very many Taoist works. Novels are not even classed as literature, although famous ones exist and some of them have been translated into European languages. There are also many famous dramas, some dating from the Yuan dynasty, but these, too, are excluded from literature proper by Chinese bibliographers. The historical records of the Chinese are of vast bulk and represent a conscientious and painstaking record of the political and sociological experiences of the oldest civilized nation on earth. In close connection with these records proper we should consider the vast number of geographic treatises and especially the so-called gazetteers. These latter are official publications issued by the empire, province, district, or even township, and treat not only geography and topography proper, but also the antiquities, natural and manufactured products, and even the biographies of famous men, population, taxes, astrology, marvelous happenings, etc. Antiquity of Jerusalem. The wonderful antiquity of Jerusalem has only been appreciated in recent years. Up to 50 years ago, observes the Chicago Examiner, it was thought that Jerusalem was of little importance as a city until it became the "City of David," king of Israel. But with the discovery of the Tel-el-Amarna tablets in Egypt new light was shed upon the history of the sacred city. There were found six letters written by the king of Jerusalem to the Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the fifteenth century B. C. The name of this king of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba, or, as some scholars read the cuneiform, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the Pharaoh besechei g him to send soldiers, almost as the Turks must have sent messages to Germany asking for re-enforcements that they might save the day. Rats Enemies of Birds. The number of useful insect-eating birds nesting on the ground or in low bushes which fall victims to rats is extremely large and is one of the many kinds of injury done by these pernicious animals which cannot be computed, writes E. W. Nelson in the National Geographic Magazine. Probably few frequenters of the countryside have returned to look into a bird's nest to observe its condition without many times finding it destroyed and fragments of egg shells lying about. Unquestionably a large percentage of such nests located in the neighborhood of buildings have been raided by rats. On one of the small Danish islands it has been authentically recorded that the progeny of a single pair of rats, which escaped from captivity, in two years time exterminated a great colony of birds for which the island had been noted.
