WILSON ADDRESSED THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE MEN AND WOMEN VOTERS RESIDING IN THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. HON. NINIAN H. WELCH, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT. Chicago, September 2, 1920. "To My Friends and Neighbors: "I extend greetings and sinere thanks to the people of this Congressional District, who have heretofore given me their friendship and political support. "My voting record as your Congressman is accessible, and has been made public from time to time through the Chicago Press. It consists of hundreds of votes for new and beneficial legislation and amendments to existing laws and against legislative propositions, which, I believe, were contrary to the best interests of all of the people. "I have attended all daily sessions of Congress, given strict attention to my Congressional work, investigated all legislative matters under consideration, made endless number of personal calls at the various executive departments to transact official business for my constituents and answered thousands of letters concerning their welfare. "Since the beginning of the World War, I have helped in every conceivable manner over 4,000 soldier and sailor boys and their relatives and friends in their difficulties and troubles with the State, War and Navy Departments, the Department of Justice and the War Risk Insurance Bureau, and I shall continue to do so with the same untiring efforts I have always used helping the soldiers and their widows of the Civil and Spanish American War. "During the last two years I have actively supported and voted for the following legislation: "Suffrage Amendment to our Constitution. "Minimum Wage Bill. "Increased appropriation for salaries of Post Office Clerks, Carriers, Railroad Mail Service, Rural Mail Carriers and other Federal Employees. "Amendment to War Risk Insurance Act, Increasing the Compensation to the Sick and Wounded Soldiers and Sailor Boys of the late War. "Vocational and Re-Habilitation Bill for the Sick and Wounded Soldiers and Sailors of the late War. "Bill creating a Budget Appropriation system, which was veted by the President. Hon. Ninian H. Welch, Republican candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, was born on a farm in Lake County, Illinois, was educated as a teacher at the Northern Normal School, now Valparaiso University, and taught school for several years, concluding as a principal of a High School. He is a graduate of Wheaton College with the degree of B. S.; took a course in Beloit College in Philosophy and History, was graduated from Lake Forest University with the degree of M. A., and is a graduate of Chicago Kent College of Law with degree of LL. B. He is a member of several Bar Associations, Town and Country Club, Hamilton SAYS TOO MUCH MIXING OF WHITE MEN WITH BLACK WOMEN—CALLS ON BLACK MEN TO HELP CLEAN UP. Too Many Mulattoes Being Born in South—Black Man Not Allowed to Look Straight at a White Woman—Wants White Men to Practice What They Preach. Meridian, Misa—White women's clubs of Meridian have started a crusade to run every black woman out of Meridian who accepts the company of white gentlemen. In the section of the city cast of the Union Passenger Station wholesale arrests of black women have been made during the past week, and more will continue. The Women's Club for some time has engaged secret service men to shadow these places and report to the club. A leading white lady said to a rep "Bill and Appropriation to Prosecute Profiteers. "Resolution Compelling the War Department to sell its Surplus Food Stuffs "Resolution to compel the War De partment to dispose of Surplus Auto mobiles and Trucks. "Child Labor Law.

"Committee to Investigate War Department and Shipping Board Extravagance, Waste and Unheard of Business Methods. "Bill Granting Relief to Government Contractors and Sub-Contractors. "Bill Granting Insurance, and cash bonus to soldiers and sailors. "The Nation which forgets its soldiers defenders will be itself forgotten. "Resolution of Peace with Germany which was vetoed by the President. "Motion to pass resolution over his vetoe, which was not done, because we could not secure a two-thirds majority. We are still at war with Germany. "Repeal of certain War Powers granted during War to meet a great public emergency, which President Wilson vetoeed, thereby retaining his military powers, contrary to peace and our constitutional rights and dangerous to the liberties of a free people. "Motion to pass Resolution over his vetoe, which also failed because the Republicans did not have a two-thirds majority vote.

Was Assistant Judge of the Probate Court of Cook County for four years, and is now a Master in Chancery of the Cireuit Court. Mr. Welch is highly qualified in every way to discharge the duties as Judge of the Municipal Court, he is highly polished in his manner like a cultivated gentleman and his past and present public record and his high standing as an able and studious lawyer clearly entitles him to receive the recentative of the press: "We want our men to practice what they are always preaching—separation of the races. Yet they themselves are doing all in their power to change the color of the Negro. Just think of it, in the State of Mississippi, a crop of little half-white and half-black brats are being produced every year, which is a menace to the white South. It's the duty of every black man to help in this crusade, and not stand idly by and let the white man change the color of his race. The law enforcing officers of Theodian, Misa, possess about as much sense as brass monkeys, instead of jumping in and arresting the bad-colored women for permitting the lightened white gentlemen for consorting with them, they the officers should promptly arrest every white gentleman in that town for kissing, embracing and reclining in the arms of their col- and persistent efforts of every branch of every department of the executive part of our government, thereby helping to save about three billion of dollars ($2,710,290,498.80) nearly seven million ($7,000,000) of it was saved in my committee, and I had much pleasure in helping save it, thereby redemining the pledge the Republican Party made for economy in governmental affairs two years ago. "The Legislative Committee of the American Federation of Labor has endorsed my Congressional Record and rated me as just, fair and friendly to the cause of labor and the needs of the working men. "I am a candidate for renomination and will highly appreciate your support on Primary Day, September 15, 1920." From his boyhood days Congressman Wilson has always been friendly inclined towards the colored people, he has ever been ready to assist Congressman Martin B. Madden in his manly fight on the floor of Congress in favor of permitting the colored people to fully enjoy their civil and political rights, at all times and on many occasions Congressman Wilson, has championed the cause of the down-trodden race. The grandfather of Congressman Wilson, conducted an underground railroad in southern Illinois with the Lovejoys and other patriotic citizens in the cause of the freedom of the slaves. His honored father and uncles served with distinction in the Civil War, for the preservation of the Union. As stated before, Congressman Wilson, has always stood, flat-footed against mob and lynch law and in favor of reducing southern representation in Congress, as long as the Southnials in a strange land. All the colored men and women voters residing throughout the Third Congressional District, should deem it a great pleasure, on Wednesday, September 15, to record their votes in favor of the renomination of Congressman Wilson for he is one of the true friends of the colored race in the Lower House of Congress.—Editor. solid Republican vote at the primaries, Wednesday, September 15, in his race for Judge of the Municipal Court. In the past Mr. Welch, has delivered highly interesting lectures in many sections of this country and on several occasions he has delivered eloquent orations from the same platform with the noted Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, which simply indicates that Mr. Welch is able to rise far above race prejudice, that he is willing to extend the right hand of fellowship to worthy, respectable or highly educated colored men and women, those possessing those same ennobling qualities which he possesses in such a large measure or in an eminent degree, which has almost reached perfection in his daily conduct. ored lady lover all night and if the officers of the law fall to do their duty in that respect then every colored man in that rotten city or section of the country should severely at all times let white women alone, save his money and buy a double barreled shot gun, fill it full of buckshot and blaze away at every white gentleman who attempts to make love to any colored woman and to lay around all night with her throughout the Southland—Editor.

It is dreadfully unfortunate that a woman might offer herself for sale for twenty-four hours to the highest bidder. What a reproach it is to our ideas of respectability taught by our fathers and mothers!! What a fearful stench from the cess pool of human depravity that the hellish hysteria of a white woman should screech, and scream down the corridors of a Roosevelt civilization the horrifying sale of a perfidious filthy body for twenty-four hours, or forty-eight hours to the highest bidder. No matter the cause, if it be honest and we question that, to herald such insolence through the morning press that a white woman realizes the commercial rating of her sex and to all appearances would Bradstreet and Dun the clearing houses of Chicago. If there is such a fool running loose in this city Kankakee is the place for minds diseased. If the ugly ghouls of infamous imagination of hysterical women should be given free play through the public press upon the rudely-inclined cave man whose number is greater than John saw on the Isle of Patmos, then we might as well cross out the words, character, virtue and purity, and laugh down with horrid scowls the definitions to deceen. We are fearful for the white race; we almost tremble at the taunts and vexations of our bewildered soul to find the very antithesis to purity and virtue advertised through the public press, honey combed with a sympathetic fringe of sickening ridiculous comment, the nasty frothings of polluted harlotry. The devil in ugly quest today with monstrous size obtrudes his loathing, creature smashing arrogance, and he has the daily white press to "you tell em." FIRST COLORED POLICEMAN ON CHICAGO FORCE REBRIES. Martin Van Buren French, the first colored policeman in Chicago, handed his resignation in to Chief Garrity Wednesday with the statement that he thought he was old enough to quit. French in 67, and has been a member of the police force since 1883. French was appointed a policeman by Chief Austin J. Doyle, under Mayor Carter Harrison, Sr., and began work in the Despainles Street Station, later being removed to the old Harrison Street District, and finally to the Cottage Grove Station. In 1883 French captured Billy Banks and Judd Dutton, two notorious South Side characters after they had shot him twice. For several years he has been breaking in new Negro members of the force. He and his wife will go to his old home in Tennessee for a vacation. The editor was a believer in "yellow" journalism and ran this as a leading editorial: "The business man of this town who is in the habit of hugging his stenographer, had better quit or we will publish his name." The next day thirty-seven business men called at the office, paid up their subscriptions for a year in advance, left thirty-seven columns of advertising to run indefinitely, and told the editor not to pay any attention to "fool" stories—Ex. 1 Y HON.

The Extremely Popular and Honest Recorder of Cook County; Who has Thousands of Warm Friends Who are Confident that he will be Re-Nominated at the Primaries, Wednesday, September 15, and Re-Elected to his present Position at the November Election. Hon. Joseph F. Haas, Republican candidate for re-nomination for Recorder of Cook County, whose fair and honorable name has become a household word throughout this city, Cook County and throughout the State of Illinois, was born in Chicago, November 13, 1857, and was educated in the public schools of this city. He was employed by Jameson & Morse Printing Co. in 1873-1874, he entered the employ of J. S. Barnes & Co., hatters and furriers, as errand boy and became a partner in 1890. He continued in business until elected clerk of the Sanitary District of Chicago in 1898. He resigned on June 11, 1900, on account of the illness of his partner. Mr. Haas was elected State Senator from the twenty-fifth senatorial district in 1902-1906. As state senator he introduced and was instrumental in passing many important measures. He was chairman of the Chicago Charter Committee of the forty-fourth general assembly. Among the important bills which he introduced are now laws were the bills creating the Municipal Courts of Chicago which abolished the old police justice system; the bill creating forest preserve which is making possible the conservation of the woodlands in the county for public park systems, and several other bills giving to the park boards the power to maintain and govern the parks and boulevards under their con- 1920 M.

Mr. Haas also voted for amendments to the Torrens system, which has broadened its scope. He was elected county clerk in 1906 and conducted the business of that office in an efficient manner. The.recorder is the official custodian of all the records affecting the title of every piece of property in this county. He conducts big business, requiring the attention of a man of considerable business experience. Mr. Haas is a member of many fraternal societies and other organizations. Chief among them are Maplewood Council No. 1024, Royal Arcanum; Enterprise Council No. 50, Royal League, Kilwinning Lodge No. 411, A. F. & A. M. For more than thirty years the people residing in this city have known Mr. Haas as a high class business man. To the undying or to the everlasting credit of Haas, it must be said that he employs more colored clerks and stenographers in the County Recorder's office than all of his predecessors combined, for several years past sixteen colored clerks and stenographers have been steadily employed in his office and they are scattered throughout all of its departments and occupy seats or desks 433 and Prominent Leaders of the Rock County; Member and Secretesors; Who is ever ready to hundreds of warm Colored Friends letters, both men and women, should rally to his support, Primary Day and Assist him Re-elected to his present posi- where any one will not experience any trouble in beholding them.

TURNER, HAIR COMPLISHED MUCH GOOD ASSEMBLY OF THIS STATE AND TAINED IN IT AS ONE OF ITS F In the First Senatorial District, there are 7 men (2 white and 5 colored) candidates for the Republican nomination for Representative in the next General Assembly. Their names, as they will appear on the ballot are: further application, and the changes will be pass. The Legi- not like S does not lil MAX SCHMIDT (white) SHEADBICK B. TURNER JAMES T. BREWINGTON WILLIAM M. BRINKMAN (white) BENJAMIN H. LUCAS ROBERT W. LACEY WALTER J. LUNEY. Only two can be nominated. Each voter has three votes. He can give all three votes to one candidate by marking a cross (X) in the square in front of the name of that candidate. Give Sheadrick B. Turner three votes by marking a cross in the square in front of his name, and no other. Danger.If you do not give Sheadrick B. Turner your three votes, it is likely the votes of colored people will be so scattered that the two white men will win, and we will have no Representative in the Legislature. Mr. Turner is the only colored candidate who can win. Rumor.—It is rumored and understood in political circles that the other colored candidates are running for no other purpose than to divide the colored vote, and make it possible to elect two white men. Sheadrick B. Turner has been a member of the Legislature twice. In the last Legislature, he was a member of the important Judiciary Committee, which passes on all bills affecting or changing the Laws of this State. He is the only colored candidate who has any chance of being placed on that committee if elected. We need a man on that committee. Only lawyers are appointed on that committee and Mr. Turner is the only lawyer among the colored candidates. Sheadrick B. Turner was a member of the Committee on Constitutional Convention; he safe-guarded the rights of our racial group by voting to limit the appropriation for that convention to $500,000; this money has all been used up; if elected, he will vote against any HON. DAVID F. MATCHETT, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION FOR STATE'S ATORNEY OF COOK COUNTY, SETS FORTH HIS VIEWS. The following short statement has been issued by Judge David F. Matchett, Republican candidate for the nomination for state's attorney and it speaks for itself: "My platform is simple. I have repeated it over and over, but I repeat it again. I want every one to know it. It is easily understood and if I am elected I will stand by it. And I'll see to it that the crook understands it. No man needs to expect favors, and no man needs to fear that I will try to build doze him. I will simply enforce the law. "Punish the guilty. "Certainly you people understand that the candidate of a machine that has bankrupted the city of Chicago and permitted vice and crime to run rampant would object to this. I believe that the good people of Chicago are tired of living on promises never fulfilled and bunk fed out by this crowd. Honesty and industry are needed in the state's attorney's office more than anywhere else. I promise you I'll work." It must be said to the great credit of Judge Matehett, that he is an able and eminent lawyer, a highly honored citizen—his record as one of the judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County is an open book and he who runs may read and we have every reason to believe that he would safe guard the rights of all the citizens, both rich and poor, alike as state's attorney of Cook County. TEACHERS IN COLORED SCHOOLS PRESENT A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM—BETTER CHILDREN AND BETTER HEALTH—PUB, LICTITY FOR PACTS OF NEGRO LIFE—EFFICIENT, WELL-PAID TEACHING—RACIAL GOOD-WILL —IMPROVEMENT OF COUNTRY AND CITY LIFE. Executive Secretary, N. A. T. C. S. Augusta, Ga.-The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, assembled in Baltimore, recently endorsed the Sunday-School work of Dr. H. C. Lyman and recommended that the training offered by the International Sunday School Association be incorporated in school curricula and the National Negro Health Week. It made the "National Note-Book" the Association's official organ. It encouraged teachers to acquire a knowledge of country life. The Association declared that "the length of school terms for colored will on Wednesday, September 15, primary day, cast their votes in favor of the renomination of Mr. ians for County Recorder for he has proven his sincere friendship for the colored race. further appropriation to this convention, and the danger of constitutional changes which might harm our group will be past. The Legislative Voters' League does not like Sheedrick B. Turner, and it does not like you. Mr. Turner does not believe the Legislative Voters' League is friendly to colored people, and will not vote as they dictate. He refuses to sign their pledges, and they do not know how he will vote when he goes in. Hence their opposition to him. They wanted Mr. Turner to vote for House Bill No. 29, which sought to make it unlawful in Illinois for white and colored people to live in the same house. Sheadrick B. Turner is one of the most widely known and best liked colored men in Illinois, and his influence and the respect in which he is held are great accordingly. He is able to accomplish things for his people and for the general welfare, and we need him in the Legislature. Assistance at the Polls. If you are not sure that you know how to give Sheadrick B. Turner your Three votes, ask the Judges at the polls for assistance; tell them you want to give Sheadrick B. Turner Three votes; see that they make a cross in the square in front of his name, and no other mark; then you mark the rest of your ballot. Mr. Turner introduced nine bills in the last general assembly and sacrificed them in order to receive votes enough to kill bill No. 155 sponsored by Governor Lowden, which had for its purpose segregation of the colored people. Mr. Turner was successful in defeating this measure. One of the candidates, Mr. Benjamin H. Lucas, voted for a resolution submitting to the people the proposition for a new constitutional convention which was the most dangerous measure that has happened to our race in this State for 40 years. You desire a man in the Legislative Hall who can, and will protect your political, personal, and property rights. If so vote for Sheadriek B. Turner. Primaries Wednesday, September 15. Both men and women can vote for him. —Adv. schools should be the same as for white schools and that colored teachers should be paid the same salaries as white teachers for like grades and like service." It recommended that "the standard of teaching be raised to the requirement of normal training beyond the high school." The Association thanked Pierre Du Pont for his gift of $900,000, with which to build and equip schools for colored children in the rural sections of Delaware. It gave encouragement to Negro composers to develop their own peculiar idioms. It supported the idea of having a national Negro conservatory of music established and of having colored teachers introduce in their schools a systematic study of the history and literature of the Negro race The Association deprecated the condition of unrest which has been prevalent among colored people during the past two years and pledged its loyalty to the United States and to the several states in the work of adjusting after-war conditions. Among the Association's "declarations" were the following: "We believe in the education of all the people. We believe in an increase of salaries for teachers throughout the United States and in the creation of adequate, modern school buildings, properly equipped and generously maintained. "We believe in the thorough training of those who teach. We believe that all schools should be thorough in what they attempt to do. We believe in the gospel of a sound mind in a sound body and in co-operation for better public health. "We believe in the life of the country as well as in the life of the city, in scientific farming, in home-ownership, in economic independence and self-respect." QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

Thomas, veteran pastor of Ebeneezer Baptist Church, 35th and Dearborn streets, widely known as an advocate of the Baptist doctrine and race reciprocity, a highly respected citizen, has fallen by the wayside and was buried from the Ebeneezer Baptist Church Monday, August 30. during the Spanish-American War in 1898. During the race riots in this city in 1919 he became a figure of note through his lone-handed efforts to disperse a mob of 3,000 persons. He was wounded in the Civil War. APPOMATTOX CLUB NOTES. By Othello W. Collins As early as 7 o'clock a. m. hundreds of men, women and children had found their way from the country districts as well as the city proper, New York, Tennessee, California, Arkansas, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico and had gathered at the church where they waited the arrival of the funeral cortex. At 9:30, just 30 minutes before the funeral exercises were to be held, there was not a seat left in the church and the streets for blocks around were crowded with human beings who remained from 9:30 to 3 p. m. to get a last look at the man who had rendered such valuable service to his race and to his country. Rev. C. H. Clark of Nashville, Tenn. delivered the funeral oration. Other state and national officers took an active part. At the close of the exercises, his body was taken by ministers and Masonic lodges and Grand Army to its last resting place in Lincoln Cemetery. Thus Chicago and Illinois as well as the country has been deprived of one of their best citizens. Rev. Thomas was over 77 years old at the time of his death, he was one of the first Baptist preachers to locate in this city when it was only a small town and he lived to see it become one of the greatest cities in the wide world. For years he was the honored chapain of the famous Eighth Regiment of Illinois and served with it in Cuba ```markdown ``` M.

APPOMATTOX CLUB NOTES By Othello W. Collins. The final game of progressive whist was played Saturday evening. Joseph Brent won the grand prize and the title of champion. Joseph Crum, club critic said, "The minute I saw Brent enter the club with a box of cigars, and a bulging hip pocket, I picked him for the winner."

Practiced law in Chicago and on January 1, 1905, was appointed Assistant to the County Judge Orrin N. Carter; held this position for four years under Judges Carter, Houston, and Rinaker.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 4, 1980 THE BROAD AX HALL OF FAME There are few of the Caucasian race that will be reclaimed to immortality, men and women like Lincoln, Jefferson, Adams, McKinley, Mayor Thompson, Ropsevelt, Carnegie and Rockefeller. It stands to reason that when a writer endeavors to espouse the cause of saints like Frederick Douglass, Crummell, Price, Washington, Dunbar and Kealing, such a writer must step softly in shoes prepared to tramp over holy ground. In recounting some names of the present era, names of those whose feet tread lightly the earth plane we find both facility and the pleasure of clearing them of selfishness before their names are read out in the great court of public opinion. The reader must remember that the list would indeed be very great, did we mention the hundreds, who for self-laudation, and the cheap praise of men handy compliments by using up a lot of energy for no other purpose than to attract attention to themselves. Such selfish importance must be forgotten because they are not to be accerited as worth the effort. It is of the worth while we would It is of the worth while we would write. Mr. Jesse Binga would establish a State Bank in Chicago, giving a stimulus and a financial status to the Negro in the clearing houses of Chicago. This is perhaps one of the most far reaching efforts of the American Negro in a commercial center. Oscar DePriest would champion the principle of concentration of political power, so that hereafter when men choose to run for office they must beyond the peradventure of a doubt take into serious consideration the friendship of thirty-five thousand amalgamated, concentrated, almost madly segregated Negro voters whom they dare not offend. This is another very fearful, forcible and comprehensible efforts conducted by one of us. Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, leading in the principles of surgery and advanced medical research, took up the front line of race defence in the acquisitiveness of complicated operations on the human body, advancing so near the realm of perfection in his art of major surgery that he was knighted by the authorities of Europe as Fellow of the American Colleges of Surgery. This is score No. 3 which places the Negro race in the vanguard of the world's scientific progress. Dr. Chas. E. Bentley helped to establish and dignify the art of dentistry in America, making himself so necessary to the espousal of its applied knowledge that he has enjoyed the honor of being a member of the Executive Committees of the National body. This is score No. 4, and proves that the individual has his or her determining power in spite of the color of skin, which often has proven to be a handicap. Edward H. Morris, Col. Franklin A. Denison, William L. Martin, Jas. A. Scott and Edward L. Wright are formidable lawyers at the legal bar, aggressive, spirited, and true to the principles of Blackstone they have rained showers of intellectual blessings upon our heads because in the spotlight of fever heated genius they have not been dimmed by the lustre of America's brightest legal lights. Here is score 5, 6, 7, 8 and on ad finintum. For Mrs. Martha Broadus Anderson, Mrs. M. CallawayByron, Annette Pattie Brown, Mr. T. Theodore Taylor, Mr. Gossett, Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Antonette Garnes, Miss Estella C. Bonds, Mr. Harrison Emanuel, Mr. B. Emanuel Johnson, Miss Gertrude Jackson, Miss Irene Howard together with a host of others who have helped to strengthen our place in the firmament of musical stars of the first magnitude there is abundance of praise. They are the proofs we offer in answer to those who are discordant and out of harmony with out times. They make music that would delight the God's while soothing the savage breast. In another issue of The Broad Ax we will mention a few more worthies for our Hall of Fame. RETURNS After attending the U. B. F. & S. M. T.

SCOTT Ex-Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County; Republican, Candidate for the Nomination, for Judge of the Municipal Court. Primaries Wednesday, September 15. True merit should be the determining factor that entitles men to the public confidence. Worthy men are always modest men because intelligence has no disposition to blow its own horn of fitness choosing rather to serve the world of its day leaving entirely to others the task of commending that service. Just such an individual is the Hon. James A. Scott who is now a candidate for a Municipal Court Judge. Mr. Scott has lived in Chicago for more than thirty years and has always been actively engaged in the practice of the law at the Chicago Bar and has won the respect of the judges of the various courts and of the lawyers generally who have had the good fortune to know him. He is a man of intelligence and affable choosing under the most adverse circumstances always to be a gentleman first. His belief in justice is unimpaired by selfishness or class hatred being assured from experience that the greatest safety of the nation lies in the fullest protection of all of its citizens regardless of any other considerations of difference. The doctrine of fullest freedom of the individual citizen under the law meets his entire approval and his confidence in the supreme will of all the people is without taint. Mr. Scott sprang from the loins of the common people and shares their feelings without any desire to prosecute those who have been more fortunate at birth, believing that lowly birth may inconvenience but should not deter the individual citizen to ultimately share the greatest glories of this nation. His long and varied experience at the Bar and his thorough understanding of people together with his ability as a lawyer and his temperament eminently fits him to do credit to the bench in Chicago, thus reflecting upon the race which nature gave him and the people of Chicago generally since his belief in justice is without a racial lining. Thus must need be so for he learned early in life at the Bar in Mississippi how hateful is colorful justice which undertakes to draw a line between races and classes meting out one kind of justice to one class of individuals and another kind to another class of individuals thus rendering good government impossible and making the law an object of public contempt. Mr. Scott believes in one justice for all men and that a just justice administered in the interest of the good of all and with a willingness though kindness to achieve the ends sought. Mr. Scott is the author of Scott on Interstate Rendition which is one of the most valuable and useful law books in existence at the present time and it is freely admitted by the most eminent lawyers residing in all parts of this country that there is no abler text on the subject in the United States. For four long years Mr. Scott, honorably served as assistant state's attorney under the late John E. W. Wayman and as such he acquitted himself well and honorably. During the trial of the riot cases, in this city in 1919, more particularly, the Washington, Scott and Brown cases, Mr. Scott distinguished himself as a good citizen and an able barrister not in seeking to shield crime, or criminalal, but in insisting on a fair administration of justice. He gave six months of his time to these various cases and did his duty well and without complaining with little hope of reward in view except in doing a duty which was well rendered. Mr. Scott has for many years been happily married and he and his good and lovable wife, Mrs. Scott, reside at 3710 Prairie avenue, he is the father of one son, James A. Scott, Jr., and Mr. Scott is also the proud father of one married daughter who resides in Miss. Mr. Scott stands at the head of the law firm of Scott, Brown & Marshall, consisting of himself, Mr. G. W. P. Brown and Mr. Eugene J. Marshall, with law offices at 3439 B. State street. Mr. Scott has always been full of race pride and for many years he has been a constant supporter of this paper, and for our part we are proud of him and we honestly feel that none of the citizens of this city will make any mistake by voting for his nomination as one of the Republican candidates for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago.

How Mint Buys Gold. The mint buys gold in any form, whether coined or not, when presented in sums to the value of $50 or more. The face value of coins is not considered, only their weight and purity. An equivalent amount of harmful money is given in exchange. Theoretically, the gold is coined and handed back to the owner without charge. In practice, a matter of convenience and to save time, the mint simply buys the gold and pays its full coinage value—that is, what it will be when coined. Can Always Find a Kicker.

The Honest, Extremely Popular and Efficient City Sealer, of Chicago; Republican Candidate for the Nomination for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago; Both Men and Women can Vote for Him, at the Primaries Wednesday, September 15. The candidacy of Mr. Morris Eller for the Republican nomination as trustee of the Sanitary District is stirring very much interest among the citizens of Chicago, Cook County. The Republican organization of the city, which stands under the leadership of Mayor William Hale Thompson, has slated one of its cabinet members for the responsible position of Sanitary District trustee. On account of his great service to the citizens of Chicago, Mr. Eller has been indorsed for the Republican nomination for Sanitary Trustee by the most influential elements in the party. Mr. Eller earnestly solicits the support of all Chicagoans and requests their vote at the primaries on Wednesday, September 15. Both men and women can vote for this office. Mr. Eller is a member of Mayor Thompson's Cabinet, filling the office of city sealer for the last five years with merit to himself and prestige to his superior. The very many practical innovations Mr. Eller has introduced in the execution of his duties as city sealer are the very best evidence of his sound business judgment and close attention to his public duties. Never before has the city sealer's office been coaducted so efficiently and in such close contact with the purchasing retailer and ultimate consumer. Under his sedulus supervision, short weighing and measuring are continually on the decerase. His educational work among the various elements of peddler, huckster, and street merchant has resulted in developing a keen sense of commercial honesty amongst them. The large offenders know very well that Mr. Eller is a public official who will not countenance any semblance of irregularity on their part and must keep out of his jurisdiction.
