CAPT. MARSHALL FIELD TO HEAD WOOD'S COUNTY FIGHT. The Leonard Wood campaign in Cook County was given a big impetus Thursday, when Col. Nathan William MacGheeley, chairman of the Leonard Wood Illinois campaign committee, announced Capt. Marshall Field as chairman of the Cook County Campaign Committee. Associated with Mr. Field in booming Wood in Cook County will be Kay Wood of the well-known stock yars firm of Wood Brothers, Albert R. Brunker, president of the Liquid Carbon Company, and Frank D. Rock, vice chairman of the committee. Capt. Field's military service began when he entered the army as a private shortly after the United States entered the war. He has expressed the opinion that the idea that a military man would be unpopular "just because he is a military man is political bunk." Mrs. Mary F. Waring, 6425 Eberhart avenue, one of the most proficient school teachers in Chicago, will lecture Tuesday evening at Gary, Ind., and in the near future will make a tour through Southern Illinois talking on "Co-operativeness on the Part of the People."

PECK, THE FIRST CITIZEN OF CHICAGO; CHAIRMAN PUBLIC OFFICIALS COMMITTEE; CHICAGO "BOOSTER CAMPAIGN," MAKES PLEA FOR "CIVIC HARMONY." HE CONTENDS THAT THE PUBLIC PRESS, MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON AND THE PEOPLE SHOULD ALL WORK TOGETHER. MR. PECK LOVES THIS CITY MORE THAN HIS PURSE. HE DECLARES THAT "THE WELL-BEING OF THE MASSES SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OF THE MONEY INTERESTS." The second oldest living citizen of Chicago, and one of her most distinguished sons, is Hon. Ferdinand W. Peck Commodore Peck, as he is more intimately known, was interviewed at his offices in the Monadnock Block by a representative of The Broad Ax recently, for the purpose of securing his views with regard to the solution of Chicago's traction problem, in general, and the possibilities of the monarch in particular. problems, I am in a sense working directly against my own financial interest; for I am a bondholder in both the Chicago Elevated Railroads and the Chicago Surface lines. I hold that the comfort and well-being of the sheer girls the working people, the masses in general, should take precedence of the selfish demands of capitalistic interests. "Now I am not an engineer, and therefore have no desire to hold a brief for the monarch as a practical final solution informed Mr. Peck that no colored man could stop in that hotel as one of its guests; in the long argument which followed that statement: Mr. Peck informed the management of the hotel that Major Buckner was an honored and prominent member of the Legislature of Illinois, that as such he was the father of the bill which brought about the appropriation of the money which was contributed by the citizens of Illinois towards helping to The walls of the Commodore's comfortable and spacious office need no wallpaper or mural decorations of what ever sort, for they are litterally covered with commissions, appointments, memorials, diplomas and other artistically framed documents attesting the signal nature of his long career of alu-tistic public service. Not a few of these enviable testimonials bear the signature of the President of the United States, of governors and at least one document is signed by the President of the Republic of France. Mr. Peck's name is in a peculiar sense syncymous with the civic up building and commercial development of Chicago. He raised the four million dollars necessary for the construction of the Auditorium, the building of which marked the turning point of this city's business career, which was reared despite the gloomy and disheartening prognostications of wiseracres, and which "made" Michigan avenue. Mr. Peck was vice-president of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and the Chairman of its finance committee. He was instrumental in that capacity, in raising a large portion, if not the bulk of the thirty-five million dollars essential to the success of the great fair. Upon him, as possibly upon no other man, rested the responsibility for the final consummation of that remarkable undertaking. In pursuing the duties contingent upon that office, he interviewed a number of the crowned heads of Europe—at a time, by the way, when crowns were in higher repute than at this day—among them the Czar of Russia, the King of Denmark and the King of Sweden and others, under conditions intensely interesting and strikingly dramatic. Mr. Peek was appointed by President Wm. McKinley, Commissioner General to the Paris Exposition of 1900. His work as such earned for him, at the hands of the President of France the distinction of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, the highest foreign honor that can be bestowed on any one—three other similar honors being held by General Leonard Wood, General J. J. Pershing, and General Horace Porter, embassador to France. One of the features of the United States in the Paris Exposition was the collective Negro Exhibit. This exhibit was later removed to the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo in 1901. For this a diploma was struck, and now hangs among other interesting moments on the walls of Commodore Peck's private office. Commodore Peck has the great honor of being the founder, and the oldest expresident of the Union League Club. In view of these honors and this record of service to the city, to the nation and to humanity, the opinion of Mr. Peck in a matter affecting the present civic and economic needs of Chieago, as well as her future welfare, may be regarded as an approximation, at least, to finality. Commodore Peek makes a cogent plea for "e civic harmony". This phrase he coined to denote that idealized status of public thought and action wherein the three great factors of urban life—the mayor, the press and the people—co-operate harmoniously in behalf of the common weal. "Fifty years ago I predicted that Chicago would some day become a city of fifteen million inhabitants. As I watch it's constant, steady growth, I see no occasion to repent of the prophecy made at that time. We can never reach such a goal, however, so long as the three great elements of 'civic harmony' are at variance with one another. Neither can we reach our goal with the help of men alone who think more of their pocketbooks than they do of the common good. I for one love Chicago more than I love my pocketbook. In taking the stand which I recently took in favor of a trial of the suspended monorail as a possible solution of our transportation problems, I am in a sense working directly against my own financial interest; for I am a bondholder, in both the Chicago Elevated Railroads and the Chicago Surface lines. I hold that the comfort and well-being of the shop-girls the working people, the masses in general, should take precedence of the selfish demands of capita stric interests. "Now I am not an engineer, and therefore have no desire to hold a brief for the monorail as a practical final solution of the traction problem; as a layman, however I do strongly believe that it possesses sufficient merit to justify Mayor Thompson's traction commission in appropriating an amount large enough to insure for the monorail a fair trial. That amount would be a mere trifle—a million or less than two million dollars—which can be appropriated from the city's traction fund without ever being missed. For the commission to fail to take this step will, in my opinion, amount to criminal disregard of the people's rights and the city's immediate needs. "To insure the success of the monarchial should it prove feasible, or of any other scheme of traction reform, however, civic harmony is indispensable. Mayor Thompson has been made the victim of unjust abuse on the part of the newspapers of Chicago Like other men, to be sure, he is not perfect; he has his faults, as we all have. Put there is no living person that knows 'Bill' Thompson as well as I do-I held him in my arms by the way, when he was just a few weeks old—and I know that he has been unjustly treated. He is a capable executive and he has a splendid cabinet and efficient heads of departments. There is Corporation - Counsel - Samuel A. Ettrelson, City Controller George F. Harding, Commissioner of Public Health Dr. John Dill Robertson, and Commissioner of Public Works C. R. Franis. Then there is Chief of Police J. J. Garrity and Fire Marshal O'Connor. Also Mike Faherty, president of the Board of Local Improvements. Faherty, in particular, is a wonder; he gets results. I have given Mr. Faherty a new middle name—I call him Mike 'Now' Faherty. "The Mayor of Chicago occupies one of the most difficult positions in the United States. He has a harder job than the Governor of Illinois or the Mayor of New York. All these things should be taken into consideration in passing judgment upon Mayor Thompson's fitness to hold the position he now occupies; and he should be accorded the united co-operation, not the condemnation, of the press and of all well-intentioned citizens in every public project he undertakes. "Chicago can never attain the great prosperity that is unquestionably in store for her until the men who control her financial destinies learn to love the city more than they do their pocketbooks—until we have, in short, a full measure of 'civic harmony.'" In all truthfulness it can be said to the everlasting credit of Commodore and Mrs. Peck who is one of the most charming ladies in this country that they are able to raise themselves far above the narrow bounds of race prejudice—that they are not controlled by it in their every-day actions or conduct in order to prove that they belong exclusively to the chosen few who have been sent from on high to this earth to absolutely rule over the rest of mankind with an iron-rod and most especially the colored people—that they have always been out spoken in their friendship for worthy colored people. It will be recalled that during the Exposition at Nashville, Tenn., in 1897, that one day was set aside as "Illinois or Chicago Day." Among the thousands of citizens of this city and state who visited the Nashville Exposition on that occasion were Commoded and Mrs. Peek, with the late Major John C. Buckner as their special or honored guest on arriving in that city they wended their way to the Brown Hotel which was the best and the leading hotel in that city, where quarters had been secured for them in advance and as they moved towards the counter or the desk to register their names the head clorks, the manager and the head owner of the hotel stood agast or horror stricken when they beheld that Major Buckner was a colored man, then they firmly informed Mr. Peck that no colored man could stop in that hotel as one of its guests; in the long argument which followed that statement Mr. Peck informed the management of the hotel that Major Buckner was an honored and prominent member of the Legislature of Illinois, that as such he was the father of the bill which brought about the appropriation of the money which was contributed by the citizens of Illinois towards helping to make the Exposition a grand success that at all times Major Buckner has sense enough to conduct himself like: true gentleman; that he commanded the highest respect of both his white and colored fellow citizens in Chicago and in Illinois; after that manly talk on the part of Mr. Peck the hotel management stated that they would be willing to compromise the matter and permit Major Buckner to remain in the hotel and serve his meals to him in his room, that he must not be seen in the lobby of the hotel no more than possible; in the very strongest language at his command Mr. Peck replied that Major Buckner was his honored guest and that he would either eat in the dining room by his side or that his party and other friends would withdraw from the hotel—that he had enough money to buy out the hotel two or three times over and conduct it himself for a short time, that final shot caused the management to surrender and throw up both hands. To make a long story short at high noon on that day Mrs. Peek who looked ever so lovely or beautiful ablaze with diamonds and wearing the most costly and the most elaborate gown of any of the ladies present, proudly marched into the dining room of the Brown hotel leaning on the arm of Major John C. Buekner and Mr. Peek following close behind them with his head erect walking as proudly as the proudest and the most gallant golden knight of olden times. The colored waiters had never witnessed such a sight or spectacle in all of their lives, so they stamped and almost broke their necks in beating it to the kitchen for they labored under the impression that the world was fast coming to an end. The management of the hotel rushed into the kitchen and had to plead with the waiters to return to their posts in the dining room and continue to serve the many distinguished guests present and some time passed before order was finally restored in the dining room. Mr. Morris Lewis, Secretary, of the Peoples' Movement, within the Republican party in the Second Ward, who succeeded Maj. John C. Buekner, as the Grand Major General, of the Uniform Rank, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows throughout the world, how far more than twenty years, faithfully served as the private secretary of Mr. Peck, and Mr. Peck does not hesitate in letting any one know, that when he was Commissioner to the Paris Exposition in 1900, that thirty clerks or secretaries were assigned to him; that he dispensed with the services of twenty-nine of them and that Mr. Lewis rapidly and accurately, performed r of their duties and Mr. Peck, has unbound confidence, in the honesty and straightforwardness on the part of Mr. Lewis. COLONEL NATHAN WILLIAM MAC CHENSY. Col.

Denison and its other officers and men have never hesitated in sounding his praise in the highest terms, for his fair mindedness and for being absolutely free from petty race prejudice in his dealings with its officers and members. Col. MacChesney with honor and distinction served during the world war for democracy, as a member of the staff of Generals Barry, Carter and Wood and served in France with the 33rd Division and as Judge Advocate of the staff of General John J.

Being extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens Col. Mac Chesney is the right man in the right place and thousands and thousands of colored men and women in this city and throughout the State of Illinois will march under his banner for the nomination of General Leonard Wood for President of the United States. COLORED MAN SELLS ORANGE GROVE I JOB $18,000; OWNS MORE. DeLand—Florida papers report the sale in DeLand of a 40-acre orange grove for $18,000, the seller retaining the year's crop, which is valued at $6,000. The grove was bought by white men from its colored owner, of whom the DeLand paper says: "James Wright is a Negro, and this grove is only one of several he owns. Jim is probably worth from $80,000 to $100,000, all of which he has made during the past twenty years around DeLand by hard work and by attending to his own business. He is a live wire. His name can always be found among the large donors to any fund for the public good. The News wishes that DeLand had a hundred Negroes like Jim Wright, who makes two blades of grass grow where none grew before." Mrs. Pearl M. Warner, 5225 S.

ATTORNEY THOR J. BENSON SETS FORTH HIS VIEWS ON THE SO-CALLED RACE PROBLEM. Recently the Race Commission of this State held a round table talk at the City Club and after Dr. George C. Hall had finished his remarks Lawyer Thor. J. Benson spoke in part as follows on the so-called "Race Problem." have lived in this country, and some of our ablest statesmen such as Senators Owen and Curtis are of mixed Indian and Caucasian blood. While there is no reason for advocating inter-marriage of the races, every one should in this respect be left to his or her individual inclination, but we have the best authority in holy writ, when Moses married an Ethiopian woman, that it is "While no doubt the public impression, opinion and even belief generally is that we have a race problem in this country, I think the term in itself makes it difficult to consider the ill feeling between people, whether it is caused by difference in economic conditions, religious beliefs, or race differences. "I feel loath to approach the problem of good will and co-operation either from a racial, religious or 'economic standpoint. I think it is simply a moral question and a law-abiding question. Those who deny the legal or moral rights to others should be considered misdemeanants or criminals and the adjective statutes so strengthened that enforcement of the laws already on the statute books could be enforced and if found inadequate other laws, assuring the equally declared by the signers of the great American Charter, the declaration of independence. The grandfather clause adopted in certain states to deny the right of voting to cetrain citizens and segregation laws and ordinances must be repealed. "And there are other ways of economically enfranchising those denied their rights in certain activities, for instance by public service corporations. When in 1507 the question of municipal ownership and operation of the intramural transportation system was submitted to the voters, after the people had at various times and occasions in the years next preceding by large majorities declared themselves in favor of the proposition, the question came up for final vote, whether to grant the private interests this twenty year franchise which had at various times been denied them by the electorate. The 'interests' cleverly in an expensive advertising campaign indicated that if the city took over the business of intramural transportation of passengers and goods, employment would have to be given according to merit regardless of race. This had the merit effect and defeated the measure. That was 13 years ago, but at this time it is to be hoped public morality stands on a higher plane, and what would go a long way towards removing just cause for complaint of discrimination against the colored race would be to enact a law providing that whenever a private corporation is granted a franchise to own and operate a business that may be defined as a public utility, or basic industry, then the civil service merit rule of the political sub-division of the state where the principal headquarters of the enterprise is located, should govern in the employment and retention of help. Here in Chicago this would open up on equal terms opportunities for employment of many thousand colored people in the transportation, gas, electric light, telephone and kindred activities now practically barred to them owing to the silly and stupid prejudice prevailing among the immoral and half-educated and a few others. Having lived on the South Side in what is now known as the 'black belt' for forty years, I can testify that I have never had more honest, quiet and law-abiding neighbors than those who are of the African race either full or mixed blood. In the precinct where I live, we have several families blessed with many orderly and well behaved children, of mixed Caucasian and African blood. They seem to get along nicely, and why should they not? The amalgamation of the Indian race has almost been accomplished in the fifty years that I The Race Question have lived in this country, and some of our ablest statesmen such as Senators Owen and Curtis are of mixed Indian and Caucasian blood. While there is no reason for advocating inter-marriage of the races, every one should in this respect be left to his or her individual inclination, but we have the best authority in holy writ, when Moses married an Ethiopian woman, that it is highly improper for any one even a brother and a sister to find fault for such action, and in that case it resulted in a most severe and practical rebuke being administered for their freedom of criticism. "There is no race question. It is a question of intelligence and morality pure and simple." THE SEXES ARE CHANGING Man, Womanish? Woman Mannish? Boston—Growing weakness on the part of the men of the country is developing a sinister feminism, Cardinal O'Connell told a gathering of men at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Man as the head of the house, he said should assert proper authority in the home. Failure to do this, the Cardinal asserted, leads to a false feminism which, unless it is curbed in time, will have disastrous results for humanity. "The women are becoming masculine, if you please, and the men are becoming effeminate. This is disorder." Cardinal O'Connell questioned how a father could "look on and see his children, especially the girls, running rampant without any consideration for modesty." Headship of the family, he said, meant that the father should look after the mothers of the whole family. after the morals of the whole family. The cardinal seems to have a true bill on present conditions. In politics in labor, in business, women have entered. Surely the tone of command the voice growing deeper, the energy and ambition all indicate the dawning of masculine imulse. And then, ye gods, the rapid growth of immodesty. The evening dress gives an upper view that is as entrancing as expansive, and the street skirt is getting shorter every day. Hosiery is so much in evidence that comment is no longer excited by its appearance even though it encases the supports of our "corn fed." And, oh, those windy days! Now man, poor, poor, what shall we say of him! Weaker he seems in every way to be getting. He is bulldozed by women in politics, held down by women in business, and in labor, the lady in overalls is pushing him back to the rear. Years ago we seldom found a man smoking cigarettes and talking in that "fine" voice. Now, alas, we run across them with the fine voice, cigarette habit and even wearing portions of female attire. They seem to have become everything but mothers! In the line of evolution, that will probably follow, and so, some day, we may read in "The Union," WILLIAM SMITH IS NOW THE MOTHER OF A BOUNDING BABY BOY. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MAKE HOME HERE.

STUMP, THE WOULD-BE KANSAS FARMER NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT, IS STILL HAVING A HIGH OLD TIME IN THE SOUTHLAND. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE WOULD-BE KANSAS FARMER NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT, IS STILL HAVING A HIGH OLD TIME IN THE SOUTHLAND. Baton Rouge, La.—Are you educated? If not why not? I think I am now one of the most educatedest men in the world, because I have been to so many schools and colleges and I have mingled with so many educated men and women, until I feel that I must be some pumpkin in this education business. I am sitting around the college walls of Southern University, sitting at the table with President J. S. Clark, and while I see they watch me as I put a knife in my mouth, and here and there butcher a few verbs, and knock the sox of some adjectives and conjunctions, yet I am still regarded as an educated man and ride around with this great college president, and I feel so big until I think I will have to go to the blacksmith shop and have a few head bands made in order to keep my own head in check. I am going to have a few things to say to you this week, for I have been to a few places, met a few men, and still I am moving on toward the goal. I got down here Thursday, and a young man with an automobile car met me and toted me up to the school. I was met by Prof. A. J. Jones, the professor of agriculture, and the sesoratum over the boys. He knows how to handle boys and it strikes me that he knows how to handle men. He wanted to know if I had had dinner, and in reply I said “Noratus eterletus.” He looked at me, and then he said that he would return or would send a boy over for me. That boy came, looked at me, and escorted me over to the dineratum, and I did eatum until I was fullum, and the young man continued to watch me. When it comes to agriculture they tell me that Prof. Jones is the it, and I was delighted to have met him, because of his worth. He told me that on account of some sickness I would not be able to occupy the "Guest Chamber," but that I could remain in his bridal chamber. He had as his room mate, Dr. B. L. Colbert. Now he is not a doctor like them other doctors, for his business is to doctor on the horses, mules, sows, dogs, cats, oxen and all other kind of animals, and they love him just like you love your doctor. He is looked upon by them as a great man, and they regard him as their friends. He can listen to the groan or grunt of an animal and locate the pain and then direct the medicine thera to lift that animule up. Just imagine an old man like me in the room with the two bright young men, and both of them are wife hunting, and sought my advice which was given them and charged them twenty-five cents each for what I had said. In the evening I went in to meet Prof. J. S. Clark, who had been down to New Orleans, and he shook hands with me just like I was also a college president, and he was just honoring me until I asked him about his health in this wise, "Festum, Howratus, inkut, healthilumtusi." I wish you cold have seen him looking wise or otherwise. I went in and met Mrs. Clark, and be believe me honey she is over the top in education. She is refined, cultured and full of pep, and real full of it at that. She is right by the side of her husband, and they are helping our boys and girls. Louisiana is putting some money into the brains of our boys and girls. This state believes in education, and they are not afraid to spend money for the development of manhood and womanhood. Dr. Clark is just a man well trained, highly educated, and just the man fr the place. The officials of the state have confidence in him and they do not hesitate to say so, and he has selected the strongest men and women available, and still he is reaching out for the best. He wants that his boys and girls shall stand second to none, and the state is backing him up in this matter. There is Dean J. A. Mitchell who comes from Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, and there is Mrs. E. N. Maberry, who has charge of that thing you call Domesticated Scientius or something like that. She teaches them how to do all kinds of cooking, and she is a widow and an expert in that line, but I am not going to take up all the time talking about the teachers, for I want a few bugs to fly around and land in your ears about other things. I have not had anything to say for several days, hence you must wait and see what I have to say and how I can say it. I have been going some, and it would not be good for me to attempt to tell you all the places I have been for they will fill up all the paper and then some. From Baltimore to this place, would mean going to Washington, D. C., paying a tribute to R. W. Thompson, the great writer, then looking in the face of Rev. C. M. Tanner, who is booked to succeed Dr. J. W. Rankin in the position of secretary of missions in the A. M. E. Church. He is now the pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and a good one at that. I stepped down to Frankfort, Ky., and dropped in to see Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Brooks, and met Mr. Sonnie E. Williams, who is one of the public school teachers of Frankfort, and has been ever since "Heck was a Pup" and he is now an old dog having passed on to his dog land long, long ago. I dropped down to have a few minutes chat with Editor William H. Steward, and visited Hotel Roscoe Sim- mons for a few minutes, talked with Phil Brown and others, visited the State University, found Dr. C. H. Parrish with his teachers as busy as could be trying to get brains in the heads of our young people. My next jump was to Chicago, where I spent a fine time and met some of them windy people. I had a long talk with Hon. James Hale Porter and his wife, and believe me Jim is some talker. He talks and talks until he just puts people around him to sleep and he can wake them up and still talk. I had the pleasure of meeting some other people. I made it from Chicago to Kansas City, then to Wichita, Kansas, where I met Dr. J. R. Ransom, the candidate for the episcopacy and a strong man. It looks to me like he is going to make it with Dr. A. J. Carey, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, W. A. Fountain, J. J. Morant and a few others. I found pleasure in touching hands with these big folks. I did not spend the night but stayed until I was ready to leave for other parts. I was delighted to see these good things. From Wichita to Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Langston City, Oklahoma City, McAlister, Tulsa, Muskogee, Holdenville, Little Rock, Hot Springs, Texarkana, Shreveport, Gibbsland, La., Vicksburg, Miss, Southern University, New Orleans, La., and before you can even see this letter I will be down at Edward Waters College and before you can evan see this letter I will be down at Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., looking at the town there. I am going to stop at New Orleans, Mobile and Tallahassee. Speaking of Mobile, news has just reached me that Miss Priscilla Jackson, one of our brilliant young women died in New York, and has been carried to Mobile for burial. She was the sister of Miss Daisy E. Jackson, the stenographer and her sister, Miss Hattie S. Jackson, who is now Mrs. Hattie Abrams and is living in Philadelphia. It is sad, and I want to extend to the sisters, brother and mother sympathy. By one we are passing out, and it is hard to tell who will be the next. In a note to me, are these words: "Our Priscilla left us Tuesday, March 2. We are not mourning, however. Why mourn for a Christian! The death of a Christian is beautiful, and we can only strive now to meet her in the Great Beyond." Producing men like Dr. J. S. Clark M. W. Dogan, N. B. Young, John A Gregg, N. W. Collier, John W. Davis and others I am proud that I belong to this race. I shall have more to say another time. CHARLES E. STUMP. PROGRAM FOR HEALTH WEEE ANNOUNCED. (Special to The Broad Ax.)

GALPIN Chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Cook County and candidate for re-election for Committeeman of the Eighteenth Ward, who stands ace high with the colored people on the West Side, where he is well and favorably known among them. Hon. Homer K. Galpin, one of the big wheel horses of the Republican party, on the west side and chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Cook County, is firmly convinced that the leaders of the Grand Old party, in this city and county, have the leaders of the Democratic party, on the dead run; that at the election this coming fall; that all of the good officers, will be captured by the Republicans and that the Democrats will be out in the cold. It goes without saying: that Mr. Galpin will be re-elected Committeeman of the Eighteenth Ward and that he will continue to be one of the high priests or chiefs of his party in the city and Cook County. THE MUSIC CARINET. By Martha Broadus Anderson. Articles pertaining to music and musicians will be found in this column each week. Matter intended for publication must be in not later than Tuesday. Address all communications to the Music Cabinet, 6450 Champlain avenue, Chicago, Ill. Its Technical Features No attempt is made in this article to indicate the peculiarities of particular national styles, but certain general remarks may be offered. Most characteristics follow from necessary simplicity of all folk music, which is the product not of special study, or formal analysis, but of instinct and taste operating extempore, and which depends for its success upon the ease with which it can be caught, remembered and repeated by the unstudious mind. Folk songs are normally melodies of moderate length, laid in more or less symmetrical lines and strophes that correspond with the plan of a verse text. Each line is usually somewhat complete in itself, having a specific figure or pattern that ends with a cadence or "fall." The lines usually tend to form couplets or other simple groups that are so similar or contrasted that the mind easily associates them together. In the oldest specimens there is a tendency to adhere throughout to a single key or tonality, often with a clear perception of the valut of dominant closes in the middle cadences. The kind of tonality preferred varies in different countries. The Keltic or Seandinavian songs, for example show a predilection for minor scales sometimes of a pentatonic variety. The older French and German songs are often based upon medieval church modes, but as a rule drift towards the minor or major. The evident appreciation of the major mode is more notable because found at a time when scientific music was still unwilling to desert the arbitrary tone-system that it inherited from antiquity. The popular mind seems to have had an instinct for tone-relation as we know it today. Folk dances as such are properly made up of steps and motions in brief series of equal duration—following the idea that phrases should be two or four measures long. These figures are sometimes repeated over and over, sometimes strung together in sets, making a kind of dance stanza. Each particular sort of dance is characterized by some special step or similar device. The songs or instrumental airs intended to accompany and guide these motions are fitted to them at every point, indicating musically what the dancer executes orchestrically. In both songs and dances the fundamental rhythm is emphatic and regular, either in duple or triple, and the phrase structure is so built upon it that the form is plain and easily kept in memory. All these features are of historic importance, since they are traceable at periods when formal composition was timidly groping its way, and when the supposed value of the old modes and of contrapunctal structure, with its lack of form was keeping musicians from these more natural methods. All of them were noted in the Troubadour and Minnesota singers, but their decided influence belongs rather to the 15th and 16th centuries. Even until 1600 some features of folk music seemed to educated musicians rather vulgar. Today we can see that there was no more valuable element in the evolution of modern styles than this same despised music of the people's instinct. FOLK MUSIC fall; that all of the good offices, will be captured by the Republicans and that the Democrats will be out in the cold. It goes without saying, that Mr. Galpin will be re-elected Committeemen of the Eighteenth Ward and that he will continue to be one of the high priests or chiefs of his party in the city and Cook County. Some Results Being Striven for by the N. A. N. M. The National Association of Negro Musicians is also taking into consideration ways and means of stimulating creative effort by creating a demand for works of Negro composers and of placing the music profession, generally on a more profitable basis. The use of graded compositions of Negro themes should be urged in schools, studios and conservatories. Special Negro music should be urged for use in churches. Music teachers must be urged to organize in the interest of better salaries and higher teaching efficiency. The itinerant orchestra playing Negro music and the intinerant artists must be supported. Everywhere the spread and adoption of Negro music must be encouraged. The establishment and maintenance of music changes in every large city, where positions and records by Negroes and those based on Negro music may be placed on sale, must be urged as a vital necessity. Appeal: In behalf of the fostering of Negro ideals, the promotion of fellowship and fraternity among musicians, the elevation of Negro music its proper place, and the dignification of the music profession generally, you co-operation is asked. For that is the word that sums up the significance of the whole enterprise. Upon that depends its success or failure. Surely times like these, when every day on witnesses some fresh achievement of the impossible, solely through the insustable force of organization, it is hardly necessary to argue its efficiency. Therefore let us co-operate that this occasion may mark a new era for Negro music. Miss Alice Carter Simmons of Tuskegee Institute is the efficient secretary of the N. A. N. M. and is doing splen did work in the interest of the organization. An interesting and instructive program was presented at the meeting of the Chicago Music Association last Monday evening. Papers were read and songs rendered by the following persons: Helen Hagan, Laurence Lemax, Thomas Morgan and Martha B Anderson. Mrs. Anderson discussed the opera, "The Barber of Seville" and sang a selection from the same. Among the visitors the following were noted: Mrs. Logan of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Harold Browning of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Super and Mr. Johnson of the Boy's Department Y. M. C. A. The Walker Jubilee Co. scored another success last Friday evening when they appeared in a varied program of folk songs and classics before a large and enthusiastic audience at the Elgin State Hospital. The auditorium was crowded to capacity and each number was roundly applauded. This company, headed by Mrs. Eliza Walker-Crump has appeared at this institution for the last twenty-five years at least once and sometimes twice a year. An all-star performance was given at the Wabash Ave. Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of Liacoln Memorial Congregational Chureh, which was recently damaged by fire. Mr. George R. Garner, tenor, was seen on "the stroll" last week looking the picture of health, not showing any signs of his past illness. Mr. Henry Ethridge, tenor, is in the city for a few days; he leaves again Sunday for St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Hilbert E. Stewart, organist of Quinn Chapel, is again able to be at his post of duty after an illness of several weeks. . . . [Name] MR. HARVEY A. WATKINS. Successful real estate dealer or broker; treat A. M.

CO OPERATIVE CLUB A SUCCESS. BIG RECEPTION GIVEN BY PROF. W. W. FISHER. Alderman Jackson a Real Race Man Last November in Bethel Church, Alderman Jackson held a public meeting for the purpose of accepting the challenge of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Associations, who made the declaration, "they shall not pass." At this meeting, the Co-operative Club was organized for the purpose of operating grocery stores and meat markets managed and controlled by members of the race, backed up with our own brains and money. The membership fee (shares) was placed at $5 with the limit of $25 to be paid by any one member. The club was a success from the start. March 1st report, showed a membership of 400 with $1400 in the bank. Store No. 1 was purchased last Wednesday and will open with a choice line of groceries, vegetables and meats at 215 E. 35th street, between Indiana and Prairie avenues, Saturday, 6 a. m., Match 20th. The manager, Mr. Sloan, the clerks and butchers are all members of the race and the store and market is strictly a race enterprise. Now if we have the same pride and blood in our veins, as possessed and exemplified by all other races of people, patronize this store and make it possible to open stores No. 2 and 3 on 31st and 43rd streets. No member of our race should hesitate to buy a $5 share. Help solve the problem by buying from yourself and paying yourself a dividend on the money you spend every day from which now you are getting no returns. Go to the Franklin Trust and Savings Bank, 35th street and Michigan avenue, and buy a membership share. Alderman Jackson (Fighting Bob) is the President and his name spells—success. You are invited to come and inspect the store next Saturday. Let us rock 35th street with a tremendous crowd.—"B." A PLEASANT SUNDAY SPENT.

PLACED MONEY IN SACK PLEECED BY HOODOO DOCTOR Little Rock, Ark.-In the case against Dink Williams, Negro, the jury in First Division Circuit Court returned a verdict of not guilty charged in the indictment, but held that Williams was an accessory before the fact of grand larceny. Williams was held to await the further action of the grand jury. Julius Davis, a typical country colored man, who lives near Scott, was fleeced out of $95 by a colored hoodoo doctor, who was introduced to Davis by Williams. David had just sold his only bale of cotton. Williams told him that Dr. Black was a good doctor and that he could give him luck with money. At the direction of Dr. Black, Davis put the money in a sack the money was gone, and so also a larger sum, but when he opened the cack the money was gone, and so also was Dr. Black. Dr. Black has not been arrested. NEGRO HISTORY AND LITERA TURE. In the Community Center at Wendell Phillips High School, 39th street and Prairie avenue, under the direction of Prof. Willis N.

Character demands touch with God and cooperation with one's fellows. The e may be some with desire to be considered clever who dare to assume positions that throw them into the limelight and the ridiculous. They may conjure up cute-sounding phrases trimmed to capture itching ears without giving a thought to what real meaning they may convey. It's dangerous to vent wholesale disaster upon those of other faiths. If men be given to folly it's your part to lead them to the truth.-Grit. Indians and Japanese. Professor Mena. Mexican scientist, went to Tehucan in 1903 to investigate a story that in rural towns near by Chinese talked in their own tongue to the Indians and were perfectly understood. He found the legend false. Japanese scholars visiting the Mexican museum have been surprised to find articles used by the Indians exactly the same as those used by Japanese pennants.

Yes. Here is one of the many testimonials to the solemn girl: When the Empress Josephine of France was a girl in Martinique an old colored woman, named Euphremia, "told her fortune." "You will marry a fair man. Your star promises two alliances. With your first husband you will have a tragical lawsuit. Your second husband, a dark man of slender means, will fill the world with his fame and glory. You will be greater than 'queen.' You will die unhappy." The entire prediction came true. For State Builders They who preach patience to the peoples as the sole remedy for the illies by which they are oppressed, or who, while they admit the necessity of a contest, would yet leave the initiative to be taken by their rulers, do not, to my thinking, understand the state of things coming upon us . . .

Snowstorms Form in Warm Climates. Potentially snow storms form in general region of warmth, strange as it may seem. The area of low barometric pressure, or storm sea, comes whirling eastward across the Gulf states and then generally takes a twist northward along the Atlantic seaboard. When sufficiently far north these warm air currents are chilled and the moisture becomes snow, very often being borne to the earth by the back draft of east wind. Not merely speeches prepared, orations delivered, sermons preached, but what a man says and how he says it to his neighbors friend, to his acquaintance or customer, to his father or mother, his wife or child across the breakfast table; this is what counts, for it reveals him off his guard and taken unawares, not as he would wish to be, not even as he would wish to be, but as he actually is, and it marks him with an indelible mark.—Exchange.

It is just about impossible to say where the largest organ in the world is, because tere is always one being built that is bigger than the last. There are many large organs in England, and in the United States. Sydney, Australia, claimed, some years ago, to have the largest organ in the world, but, like ships, they are always increasing in size. Foot Square and Square Foot A mathematician says there is no difference in area or quantity of surface between a foot square and a square foot, but there may be a difference in shape. A foot square must be a rectangular surface having four equal sides, measuring one foot long each. A square foot may also be a foot square, but it may be irregular in shape, say six inches wide and two feet long, or any shape so long as the area is equal to 144 square inches. The peanut is a member of the pea family and the "nut" is more accurately described as a pod. It is grown from seed in many tropical and subtropical lands, a long warm season being necessary for its maturity. It flowers above ground, then the stem bends downwards, the young pod enters the soil and there matures. No roots are ever attached to the nut; the fibers, mistaken for them, are from the stem. 1 Regular "Crum Fish" The Cynic. Infallible Method Largest Organ. The Peanut. Hundreds of treasured camees and intaglios, for which large sums have been paid, are spurious, although many of them are masterpieces of art. To such an extent have camees been forged that, after a certain French count had spent $25,000 in forming a collection, so many forgeries were found among them that, in despair of separating the false from the true, he parted with the lot for a fraction of what they had cost him. A goat is derided for eating newspapers, yet many a man feeds his mind on nothing else. The simplest of all invisible inks is milk or, better still, buttermilk. If used with a perfectly clean new pen and on unglazed paper, it will not show. The easiest way to bring it out is to iron it with a hot flatiron. The stars of the "little dipper" are all constantly moving at tremendous velocities and mostly in different directions, say astronomers, but so vast is their distance from us that they have not changed their relative positions to any appreciable extent within the memory of man. Doctors Everywhere RECOMMEND THE USE OF CAM-PHORATED OIL AND MENTHOL CREAMS FOR RELIEVING COUGHS, COLDS, CROUP, CATARRH, PNEUMONIA AND ALL CONGESTED CONDITIONS. The best form in which to apply a remedy of this kind will be found in MINTOL, which not only contains Menthol, Camphor, Oil of Eucalyptus and many other healing and artiseptic oils, but also contains germicidal properties which kill the grip or influenza germ. If MINTOL is applied to the nostrils it sterilizes the nose and acts as a preventative as well as a cure for colds and catarrh. If you will apply a little MINTOL about the size of a bean to the back of the tongue it will sterilize the throat and relieve hoarseness, coughs and all throat troubles. When applied externally to the throat and chest it will break up congestion and prevent or relieve Croup. Whooping Cough and Pneumonia. It is necessary to use old-fashioned blisters which are often times either very disagreeable in odor or cause soreness and annoyance to the patient and those attending them. MINTOL will be found the most effective, modern scientific treatment for all inflamed conditions. A jar in the home will protect the whole family from Coughs. Cold and often times prevent Pneumonia. If your druggist cannot supply you we will mail you a jar on receipt of price 35c. 69c. and $1.25. The Home Relief Laboratories, Boston, Mass. --- Forped Cameos. Read Ruskin Occasionally.

The proper diet of chameleons and lizards consists of flies and other insects; also meal worms, and the common idea that sugar and water will serve in winter is incorrect. A good many of these animals refuse food in the winter months and all of them need warmth and sunshine, as well as water. They are difficult to keep in health, and if not given their natural food will starve to death in time, though their ability to fast for long periods is well known. Soiludes of the Earth. The Bushmanland desert, in southwest Africa, is but little known. A few nomads—some of European and some of mixed descent—hang on its fringe. Here and there mat-house villages, whose dwellers depend on the sparse bounty of the sky, will perhaps be found for a season. Otherwise it is a barren desert of 50,000 square miles.

When a man has no longer any con- ception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead.— Beecher. Lumberjack's Appetite. We heard some time ago that the managers of the lumber camps had decided to refuse free feeds to the vagrant lumberjacks, drifting from camp to camp, but not till we saw a lumberjack eat did we understand the fine impulse that led to the decision. After eating his fill, if one of the fellows should try to push his way down a logging road, he would get stuck between the trees and probably stay there until he starved.—Detroit News.

It's not particular about the residence of its beneficiary. It finds the simple Maid of Orleans and makes her a great factor in history. It takes the youth, Luther, and makes him the reformer of religion. It has taken men from the plow, the garret, the sculery and raised them to eminence. It has also used the son of the mansion. It knows men as fit expressions of its purpose and not as individuals. It is limited only by the power of the soul to match itself with the great need.—Exchange.

The dog is not only a social animal but has the rudiments, at least, altruism. I once saw a dog jump into a river and swim down to another younger dog, which had been swung along by the current and who was trying in vain to make a landing when the bank was steep and slippery, at every attempt his claws slipped; he was losing his head; he was growing weak. The older dog pushed his downstream to a safe landing, then went on about his business, as if it were a mere detail.—American Magazine. we enter my name as a subscriber herewith Two Dollars, the annual tar for six months.
