DON'T BE A DISCREDIT TO YOUR RACE. There is enough good counsel in your bible to make you all you need to be if only you possess the equanimity of heart and mind to follow it, believe in it and regard it as your protection. There are lots of really good fellows going to the devil and a host of young women whose impulses to lead a righteous, pure life, are just a bit too fragile, too easily influenced away from the decent reaches of the good, the true and the beautiful. Of course we realize the newness of the times, and we must not forget the fitness of things, or else this whirlpool will cause us to leave our balance. The credit of our race is in your hands, and remember that any reflection favorable or otherwise falls upon your tired shoulders too, because you are identified with us. Now this does not mean for us to loose sight of pleasure, only we must study to learn, what pleasure consists in doing, being and having. Putting on the finest clothes, and making somebody notice you, or going pell mell, helter skelter to places improper for decent people is not accomplishing one thing either for your own good, or for anyone else good. Getting the correct understanding, and knowing the true meaning of life, is worth while. Building up an established name among your friends for truth and honesty and yet at the same time serving as a beacon light to guide ```markdown ``` HON. LEN SMALL.

Be a credit to your race and learn to distinguish the rude, and crude from the simple and pure. Cast off unfit associations no matter however painful. You must sustain the good name of your parents, and your family life. Work, economize, avoid the vain and vulgar display, and turn from ugly extravagant notions that make one look like a fine fool. The gaudy glass of fashion only strikes the vulgar eye, the praise that is worth ambition is attended by sense alone and dignity of mind. Temptation often comes as a test to find out what you are. Don't be bribed by ugly blandish merits and the infamy of evil that hesitates at nothing. Let your light shine that people may appreciate the sublimest instincts of humanity.

Waller, the millionaire of Kewanee, Ill., for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator from Illinois and one bound Mr. Burke broke back into city, state and national politics and he is a long ways from being politically a dead one, for his friends everywhere are congratulating him over his splendid state wide race for the nomination for United States Senator from Illinois.

Who is so rich and great that they cannot think of other days of poverty? Who so good that they spurn the rest of us with upturned noses. Environment may have done more for some of us than it has done for the rest of us. A pleasant, agreeable home, a solicitous, eager mother and father, untiring interested mother, a liberal hearted anxious father, bouyed by the exhibited ambition of their boy or girl make life a joy indeed. Happy are they who keep to the path of right and truth, and walk in no other. Yet we are on every hand boys and girls who through the byways, and the highways of mocking joy, clayed with an ugly pleasure who days upon days squeamishly complain that all is one continual round of vanity and life a dream. The writer could riot in philosophy on the subject of the Primrose path that has become so well trodden that it has become a paved thoroughfare and to what good cause—A fool is born every half minute, and the school of experience is the one thousands will learn in, for it seems no other will do. It is a horrifying picture that meets an unwelcome gaze on the crowded streets. Young men and young women whose appearance would urge a Venus or force Appolo from his throne, with brains and qualifications out of which noble races are constructed giving themselves away to reckless abandon. The church bells never sound in their ears. The useful and the worthwhile things of life do not invite them any more, and then find themselves gradually drifting, falling, further and further away from the sound of their mothers sweet voice that ever is call- --- [Name] HON.

COOL "JACK" JOHNSON, THE EX-HEAVY WEIGHT PRIZE FIGHTER OF THE WORLD, WILL REST UP IN THE FEDERAL PRISON, LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS. Col. John Arthur "Jack" Johnson, former champion of the prize ring, must serve a year and a day in Leavenworth penitentiary and pay a $1,000 fine for violation of the Mann act in transporting Bertha Schreiber, a white woman, from Pittsburgh to Chicago in 1912 or 1913. This was the decision of Federal Judge Carpenter, who on Monday resentenced the heavyweight pugilist in accordance with an order entered by the United States Court of Appeals following Johnson's first sentence. The sentence is the same as that first meted out to Johnson by Judge Carpenter. The decision was a greater shock to "L'll Artha" than any blow, which he had suffered in the squared circle, and he showed it quite visibly when the full effect of the court's words struck him with all its force. Johnson "Fighting Mad." "I'm fighting mad," he declared, as he was being led away by deputy marshals to the Kane county jail at Geneva. "I didn't have a fair chance. I'm a fighting man and I don't mind taking a beating. I wouldn't mind serving the sentence if they had only given me a fighting chance." Application for Johnson's release on bonds, made by "Tom" Carey, former mayoralty candidate and sponsor for the pugilist on his return to Chicago was denied. No Prejudice, Says Court. Despite Col. Johnson's opinion, however, the court made it plain that no element of prejudice had been permitted to enter into the case. "It is my plain duty to resentence this defendant in accordance with the A. E. The Ever Popular Coroner of Cook County who was Renominated Wednesday for his Present Position with almost One Hundred Thousand Majority, to his credit, he Received more votes than any Other Candidate on the Thompson Ticket. mandate of the Court of Appeals," Judge Carpenter said. "If I have made any mistake, it is on the side of lenieney. "When I originally sentenced this defendant, I was aware of the fact that there were those who might say that a colored man would not have a fair chance in court in a case of this kind, and I therefore gave him the lowest possible sentence consistent with the gravity of the crime. "If a man shows by his actions regret for his crime, if he is contrite and repentant and sets a good example, then there might be some argument for the reduction of his sentence, but this man has shown all the way through both during and after his trial a complete disregard for our laws. How can we say that this man regrets his crime in view of the circumstances? What has he done to inspire others not to violate the law!"

Henry Lincoln Johnson, Member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia; Presented the Delegation to Senator Harding. (Special to The Broad Ax.) Marion, O., last Friday, on the occasion of the visit of delegations of colored citizens to Senator Harding on Friday, September 10, Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, former assistant attorney general, in presetting the delegation t. Senator Harding said: "The pilgrims that you see before you at this hour are on the road to Washington seeking a rehabilitation of their status as American citizens. The road to Washington this year leads through Ohio, through Marion, not Dayton. We pause to pay our respects to you, air, as the standard bearer of the party to renew our pledge of freedom and human progress, to pass the word on to our brethren to meet you again at the White House, on the 4th of March, 1921, confident that we shall receive the same cordial greeting there as you have given us here. "Of all the pilgrims who shall come to your front door during the remaining weeks of this campaign, none will come with more anxious hearts and more fervent prayers, and more ready for active service than the group representing twelve millions of your colored fellow citizens. Other groups of citizens may have been affected by the lack of capacity, the inefficiency, the extravagance of the present administration, but we have suffered from its indifference, its malevolence and persecution. "We would not have you, sir, or the party or the nation believe for a single moment that we are a people of narrow vision, and actuated by selfish motives only, we are interested in good government, in sound economic program, and a wise and courageous foreign policy just the same as our other fellow citizens. But we have been the victims of the present administration far more than any other class of citizens, eliminated from the participation in the government, segregated in the civil service and denied the equal protection of the law. "We are with you upon the questions of the League of Nations. You cannot amend the constitution by treaty or change the form of government by automatic methods of administration. We were thrilled by your pronouncement that you would never empower an assistant Secretary of the Navy to write a constitution for a sister republic. "What kind of a League of Nations would you have with the smaller republics held as vassal states? What we need is a league of humanity, governed by the golden rule. International courts of justice we believe in, but we lay emphasis on national courts of justice, where every justiciable cause may be determined to the end that mob rule may be abolished everywhere. "Having given our lives and property to make democracy safe for Americans, and the world, we are seeking in this campaign to make democracy safe for ourselves and our children. "I know no other way of accomplishing this result except through the Republican party. "We seek no pledges. Your life, your high character, your public services are pledges enough. Your splendid pronouncement in your speech of acceptance that the colored citizens should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights and entitled to freedom and opportunity because they had measured up to the requirements of citizenship by their sacrifice on the battle fields of the Republic, gives us courage and inspiration. "You will rear anew at Washingt u in the great "Temple of Liberty under Law" and enforce the constitution which contemplates no class and recognizes no group—I may add by recognizing all groups. "Our votes will be felt in the great pivotal-states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois as never before. "We have more to gain by the success of the party this year, and more to lose by its failure than any other class of citizens. The door once closed against us is difficult to open, and a policy once fixed is doubly difficult to alter or change. "After seven long years of suffering and humiliation we are looking forward to another Republican President from the great State of Ohio, breathing the spirit of the sainted McKinley, ever kindly, considerate and just like William Howard Taft, the most lovable man who believed that the honor of the Republic should be open to the colored youth as well as the white, as an example and inspiration to the race, a man of the same type as Theodore Roosevelt who believed that the door of Hope and opportunity should not be set against any man because of his race and color." In reply Senator Harding said: "America, I greet you as workers in the cause of a noble religious purpose, and shall address you, in so far as I am able to do so, without thought of my position as a candidate of a party for political office, and with my interest centered upon you, upon your aspiration, and upon the contribution of your people to America. I will center my interest also upon the contribution of America to your people and upon the justice which, in America, must never relax vigilance, not to create an equality that is worth nothing if it be not earned, but an equal opportunity for all men and women to achieve, and hold the full recognition of their own merit, capacity and worth. "Foo much doctrine based upon another principle has been loosed upon a war-worn world. Abroad, particularly in Russia, there has grown up the idea that by some impossible magic, a government can give out a bounty by the mere fact of having liberty and equality written over its door, and that citizenship need make no deposit in the bank of common weal in order to write checks upon the bank. Here at home we have had too much encouragement given to the idea that a government is a something-for-nothing institution. But I say that citizenship is not based upon what one can get, but that it is based upon what one gives. I say—and I wish I could speak through you to all Americans—"Let's serve." "Under that slogan of good citizenship there is no reason why you should not hold your heads high. , who are assembled today, and your race in America, have the sense, as all thoughtful Americans must have, to know that it is only in a country where merit, capacity and worth of men and women are recognized and rewarded, that merit, capacity and worth are developed. You, and I, and good Americans, of whatever color, blood or creed, know that the aspiration of all men is equal opportunity to create recognition of differences between themselves, and that no injustices known to man can be greater than that of the tyranny and autocracy that labels itself democracy, or bolshievism, or proletariat, and enslaves all men and all their ambitions and all their freedom with the iron hand of mediocrity. The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth, has the good sense and clear head-and brave heart to live it and I, assuming to speak a truth, which America ought to know, proclaim it to all the world that that he has met the test and did not and will not fail America. "I proclaim more: I assert to all the world that America has not and will not fail the American Negro. "If there are those who doubt me let them look to the record—the record of the colored race in American citizenship, and the record of America in giving opportunity. "Your very presence in assembly, coming from great organizations dedicated to high religious purposes, is enough to cause any man to give recognition in his heart to the great contribution to American citizenship which is found in the capacity for deep religious faith among people of your blood. America needs the deep religious faith. She needs it whether it comes from Catholic, Jew or Protestant. She needs it in her citizenship, and I recognize that the best of America is our spiritual life and not our material possessions, and that if America ever lets her spiritual life die, she will not longer be the land we love. "The expression of that spiritual life, alive in the hearts f the people of your blood, had, I believe, been the basis for the achievements of the American Negro. They are great and amazing achievements. They have been wrought, not from words nor false claims, but by patience, tolerance, restraint, and by the earned rewards of that merit, capacity and worth in citizenship of which I have spoken. "Let all true Americans know that the census of 1920 showed that over 87 per cent of the men and 54 per cent of the women of your blood were gainfully employed, a larger percentage in both cases than the rest of us Americans." "Let America know that the churches of the colored race have increased during a little more than half a century from 700 to 43,000. Let her know that home owners have increased from 12,000 to 600,000, and form operators from 20,000 to one million. Let America know that literacy among colored people has climbed from 10 per cent to 80 per cent. "Let all true Americans know and recognize that during the war the colored race of America invested one dollar out of every five they owned in war bonds. Let them know that 340,000 colored boys were in our army. ```markdown ``` HON. MILES J. DEVINE.

We always delight in hearing the name of real men and women. It seems to possess a lifting power, takes us up out of our dead selenness and inspires us with some kind of lovely vision that enables our faith and improves our human respectability. Some such force is acting upon the mankind of our present era and neutral we can never be. It would take up a deal of space to write as only one might write when ever the name of Hon. Edwards, H. Morris comes before us, as inevitably it must, for more than thirty years he has cherished his laurels, well merited honors sustaining a distinction at the legal bar beyond the reach of competitors, in the legislature, or at the Constitutional convention, in the lodge, or at the forum, in the home, or at the club, he has always loomed, large against whatever horizon.—A wealthy man, a great lawyer, distinguished champion for his race, vise with the wisdom of the eminent ones, he is as gentle and unassuming as a commoner and as modest. Honors he might have, that would make weak men proud and contrast them to a sphere of insecurity Mr. Morris would deceive. Already for his years he is weighted down with tired shoulders under the hundreds of honors that seldom come to but few men.—His is as happy a life as it is noble. Fearless, always strong bulwarked by the highest attributes of a steady citizenz. Wm. L. Martin, bright from the classic halls of Oberlin, and the Chicago Law School he fills a niche in our race life that makes him the subject of envy. A great scholar of law, and a great friend. He is a lawyer and the Chicago bar is well aware of that fact. Major John R. Lynch, and Richard T. Greener, two gentlemen of the old school, and of the new. Long the honors have piled at their door, politics was the game they played at, and won fame and general racial respect. Suave, courteous, estimable, gracious, they as congressman and diplomat wear well their honors (as they won their spurs when they were worth fighting for. Hustious is the word with which we crown them. Mr. James Newsome and Arthur Wells they say, may have helped George M. Pullman invent the Pullman car. They were here when the first car was put on wheels. And when the first Plush Pullman, cushioned for the comfort of a king first rolled out of the shops to get the hitch. Jim and Arthur were at the christening. This ought to give them a place in the Hall of Fame even should you contend that neither went to college for knowledge. These two gentlemen are blessed with a lot of what it takes to be somebody, that a host of educated ones we know do not possess at all. S. Laing Williams, ex-Asst. United States Attorney, has always been a gentleman, for years he was one of Chicago's brightest lawyers until his health began to fail. Always a man of steerling integrity, singled out for sincerity and honesty, he has carved out for himself a name that makes his host of friends proud when ever they hear it called.

Issued by Headquarters, Cook County Financial Campaign, Ways and Means Committee, Republican N ational Committee, 226 Conway Build- ing. Authenticity Guaranteed. For Further Information Call Franklin 6250. The $100,000 mark was passed Wednesday in the campaign to raise $500,000 in Cook County for the Republican National Campaign Fund, volunteer workers reporting $35,454 for the day, bringing the total to $132,554. This represented more than one thousand subscriptions, ranging from $1 to $1,000. Wednesday's luncheon was the best in point of attendance held thus far, the number present exceeding even the number of workers who attended the opening dinner of the campaign a week ago Wednesday night. The report for the day also was the best thus far and brought considerable encouragement to the workers. With three more working days in the campaign—Thursday, Friday and Monday—there still remains about $365,000 to be raised in order to reach the objective. Confidence that the objective will be passed is expressed by every one connected with the campaign. The money raised thus far has been obtained entirely in the City of Chicago, the County district not having made their reports. Division B, under Chairman Elmer Stevens, continued to set the pace. Teams in this Division Wednesday reported $11,969, giving them the championship banner for the fourth consecutive day. Their total now is $42,039. Division C, under Major George A. Paddock, has obtained $18,306, and stands second. Division D is third and E is fourth. John P. Hovland's team, No. 14, is high among the teams with $12,320 thus far. Team No. 18, under Frank A. Mitehell, is second with $8,812. Division B also leads in the number of subscriptions obtained with three hundred and twelve. No subscriptpions of more than $1,000 is being accepted. RACE BOMB ROCKS NEW HOME OF NEGRO FAMILY. Several persons were thrown from their beds and a number of families rushed to the street in panic Wednesday night when a bomb, intended to terrorize colored occupants of an apartment building at 5253 Indiana aevnue, tore out the front entrance of the structure. All the windows in this building and in the house adjoining on the north were shattered. The building was purchased last June by Powell Wilkinson, colored, according to the police, and is occupied by the owner and two other colored families. A number of residents of the neighborhood recently expressed dissatisfaction over the presence of the colored family, it is said. Just before the explosion, witnesses say, a sedan car, containing two men, drove up in front of the Wilkinson building. One of the men threw a dark looking object into the doorway, after which the car sped away. The explosion followed. LOTS TO GO CHEAP. In order to sell the remaining lots in Morgan Park, M. T.
