Martin B. hadden in the following statement assailed Postmaster General Burleson and the postoffice department. "What does Postmaster General Burleson mean by putting the postoffice department on a 'business basis,' as he alleges he has done?" Mr. Madden asks. "Does it mean two deliveries where three were made before? Does it mean taking mail cars off the road? "From the beginning of his administration Postmaster General Burleson has displayed a harsh and unfeeling attitude towards the aged postal employees. The removals of such employees from the service on one pretext and another have been so numerous as to indicate a well defined plan to rid the service of these men.

COOLIDGE, SATR Boston—Governor Coolidge, asserting the need for thrift, said that he had not bought a suit of clothes in eighteen months, and that it was two years since he last bought a pair of shoes. "There are some indications," he said, "that Americans are beginning to understand thrift and that the law of supply and demand is working again. That will be a benefit to us all.

IT IS STILL HARD TO TELL JUST HOW THE MANY CONTESTS FOR THE BIG STATE JOBS WILL TURN OUT, BUT THE INDICATIONS ARE, THAT HON. FRANK L. SMITH HAS RECIEVED THE NOMINATION FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR; HON. RICHARD J. BARR FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL; HON. W. H. H. MILLER FOR STATE TREASURER AND HON. LEN SMALL FOR GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. THE BROAD AX CUT A WIDE SWATH IN THE PRIMARY CONTEST; SIXTEEN OF THE CANDIDATES WHICH IT SUPPORTED CAME IN UNDER THE WIRE AHEAD OF THEIR OPPONENTS. THIS PAPER CARRIED MORE POLITICAL ADVERTISING MATTER IN ITS COLUMNS, SEPTEMBER 4, AND SEPTEMBER 11, THAN ALL OF ITS SO-CALLED COMPETITORS COMBINED, INCLUDING THE GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD. BY PUBLISHING AND DISTRIBUTING FIFTEEN THOUSAND EXTRA COPIES OF THIS PAPER IN THIS CITY AND COUNTY, PRIOR TO THE PRIMARIES, GAVE IT A MUCH LARGER OR WIDER CIRCULATION THAN ANY OF ITS WOULD BE RIVALS. Ten days have passed away since the spoke of the great primary battle in this city and state has rolled away and yet the wisest of the big and even the small fry politicians are still at sea for it seems that so far hundreds of ballot boxes are still uncounted for and no one knows just what their contents will disclose when they are opened up to the light of day, the vast majority of the ballots which they contain may be either in favor of Hon. Len Small for Governor or Hon. John G. Oglebsy for Governor or they may be in favor of Hon. William P. McKinley for the nomination for United States Senator or infavor of Hon. Frank L. Smith. As the old colored man has wisely said in his crude way "It does seem that somebody is doing a whole lot of stealing or juggling or playing with the primary ballots right here in this city and throughout the State of Illinois. Laying all jokes aside in the final round up everything seems to indicate that the majority of the state candidates on the Thompson ticket won out and Mayor William Hale Thompson still feels confident that they have safely handed on the inside of the breast works, which includes Hon. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS Washington, D. C. There is nothing attracting more attention in this section of the country today more than the National Race Congress, which is booked to meet here October 5 at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, 14th street N. W. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the Congress, is receiving many letters from all parts of the country, from representative men and women who will be present. Among those who are booked to speak are Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio, president of the national organization among women; C. H. Douglass, capitalist, Macon, Ga.; Dr. Ernest Lyons, of Baltimore; Dr. W. B. Reed, Hartford, Conn.; Dr. E. W. Moore, Pittsburg, Pa.; Dr. W. W. Lucas, of the M. E. church, Chicago; W. E. B.

Ross, who will preach the sermon; Dr. T. J. Brown, Cairo, Ill.; Dr. T. J. Goodall, Savannah, Ga.; Dr. R. T. Pollard, Selma, Ala.; Mrs. Casey Hayford, Gloucester House, London, Eng., a highly educated American lady; F. M. Hercules, London, Eng., and many others. The political rights of the race will be discussed and plans put forward looking to the protection of the women of the race who will be permitted to use the ballot for the first time. Dr. Jernagin declares that the women of the race, north and south alike, should prepare to vote, and everywhere they should register. There will be several other prominent white men invited to speak during the session. Dr. Jernagin, together with members of the executive committee of the Congress, had a conference with Senator Harding in Marion, Ohio, recently, and the conference will result in good. They brought before the Senator many things touching the race in this country of which he was not conversant. "I believe that we must not sit down and 'depend on others to do for us what we should do for ourselves,'" said Dr. Jernagin, "but we must work and work hard. Now is the time to strike the Frank L. Smith for United States Senator, Hon. Richard J. Barr for Attorney-General, Hon. Len Small for Governor, Hon. W. H. H. Miller for State Treasurer and Hon. William H. Reid for Secretary of State. With much pride we can truthfully say that not another weekly newspaper in this city cut near as wide a swath as what The Broad Ax did in the late state wide primary contest, for the following seventeen candidates which it loyalty supported at the primaries won out.

NINETEEN HUNDRED STUDENTS AT TURKEEN BESTIUTE Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The beginning of the fortieth session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was Sept. 14. The registrar of the institute and his co-workers were busy five days before school opened registering new students. Each day furnished its quota of new arrivals and the records on the first day of the school year showed that some 1,900 students had been enrolled. This is the largest opening day enrollment in the history of the institute. Notwithstanding this fact, the stream of incoming students is yet steady. Every iota of space will soon be taken up. It is also noticeable that many of the new students are qualifying for the advanced classes. The academic course has been somewhat revised. Courses in modern language, advanced English, commercial law, stenography, educational and business methods have been added to the courses heretofore offered. Among the faculty members will be seen several new faces. They are new as members of the Tuskegee Institute faculty, but very well known in educational circles. Among these are Professors S. T. B. Williams, supervisor of educational methods; R. P. O'Hara, director of the department of natural science, and B. F. Hubert, director of the agricultural department. In this trio of educators, Harvard and Yale universities and the Massachusetts Agricultural College are represented, respectively. The R. O. T. C. unit will be under command of Lieut. Col. Benjamin O. Davis of the Ninth U. S. cavalry regiment. Lieut. Col. Davis is the highest ranking Negro officer on the active list in the U. S. army and is the only Negro who has, from the grade of private, reached the rank of lieutenant colonel. He will be assisted by the efficient corps of army officers who had charge of the work last year. The industries will, as usual, be under the supervision of experienced instructors. Dr. R. R. Moton is well pleased as to the faculty and general outlook of the incoming year. Perhaps never before has the work begun under more favorable conditions. Every indication points to this scholastic year to be the most successful in the history of the institute. of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Hon. Robert E.

Turner for member of the Legislature from the 1st Senatorial District of Illinois, prior to the primaries Mr. Turner distributed three thousand copies of The Broad Ax in his district and when his votes are all counted he will have more than fifteen thousand majority if either one of the other decent colored Republican candidates would have refrained from fighting him and on the other hand joined hands with him in an effort to elect two colored men from that district instead of one they could have brought about the defeat of Wm. M. Brinkman who (was renominated) by a small vote, who is of no service whatever to the people of Illinois as one of its members of the Legislature of this State. SEVEN E. ST. LOUIS BIOT CASES NOLLE PROSECED BY BREUNDAGE East St. Louis—Attorney General Edward J. Brundage, of Illinois, in the Circuit Court of Belleville, has entered a nolle prosequi of indictments charging murder and assault to commit murder in connection with the East St. Louis race riots of July, 1917. In his nolle prosequi, which was entered by Judge George A. Crow, Brundage wipes off the records charges against all of those of the twenty-one joint defendants who have not yet been tried. Those affected by the nolle prosequis are Sam Wheat, James Bayles, Henry Meeks, Robert Bates, John Clark and Joseph Black, all white men. They were never arrested. On the same indictments three defendants were acquitted and eleven were convicted of murder and sentenced, October 6, 1917, to terms of fourteen years in the Southern Illinois Penitentiary. What has become of the twelve or fourteen Colored men who were sent to the Southern Illinois Penitentiary on slim or filmsy evidence by Hon. Edward J. Brundage and his aids? Just because those same Colored men attempted to defend the lives of their families and their homes! Will the Attorney General of Illinois, please stand up and answer this question!—Editor.

She pleaded guilty of the first charge but entered a plea of not guilty in the other instances. The woman was committed to the county jail in default of bail.

Good authorities give the average duration of human life as about thirty-three years. One quarter of the people on the earth die before the age of six, one-half before the age of sixteen, and only one person of each one hundred born lives to the age of sixty-five. The deaths are calculated at sixty-seven a minute, 97,790 a day and 35,639,888 a year. Births are calculated at about seventy a minute, 100,800 a day and 36,792,000 a year.

STUMP, THE KANSAS FARMER NEWS-PAPER WRITER, VISITED CHICAGO LAST WEEK AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH COL. PHIL H. BROWN, HON. PERRY W. HOWARD AND THE OTHER SHINING LIGHTS CONNECTED WITH THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Louisville, Ky.-I have just gotten in part over mingling with that large number which John saw that no man could count, and now I am turning my attention to other things. Perhaps you want to know where that number was and what they were doing, and why so many of them were together? Since you want to know I will tell you in part and you will have to guess the other. Let us get the best who can say and do to my. CHAIRMAN Counsepolitan Before the Royal territory now known it was inhabited by hostile tribes, the Cottic origin. But eastern Aips in which the Grious possession of the R and Estruscan stock Teutonic invasion plains, Rhineta receives of German-speaking the tenth century as a basis of operandia, who mad I was at the National Baptist Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., and it brought together more people than I have seen in many moons, and perhaps since I have been in the world. I only wish that Dr. John H. Frank of Louisville, Ky., editor of the National Baptist Union Review could have seen this number, for it would have made him take down his sign and sign no more in this or any other world. I am unable to see how they got so many people together, but they were there, and there with the goods. The convention raised more money than at any time in history, and accomplished more good, and made a great impression. President E. C. Morris, headed a delegation or committee of two hundred and right on to Marion, O. to have a chat with President (to be) Harding, and believe me when I tell you that the American people have decided that he shall be the next President of the United States, and of course you are in that number, and you are going to join in making this thing happen. You have decided that you and yours are going to help to vote the electoral votes of your state to this grand and good man. The Baptists of this country are with him and they are going to stand by him to the White House, and then will help to make his administration a success. The convention was loud in denouncing a paper published in St. Louis by "Col." Rosece C. Simmons, stating that the convention had voted down a proposition to appoint a committee, to go to Ohio. The writer must have been dreaming or something else. But Prof. R. B. Hudson brought the matter up in the convention, and it voted that the statement was manufactured out of old cloth, and became the thing out of which my mother used to use to help make soap in the old fashion way. They used grease and what that paper published. The people of Indianapolis claim that they got some real inspiration out of the meeting. I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis, 1830 Boulevard place, and believe me them people certainly did have some eats, and it looked to me like I was just going to eat my fool brains out. There was present at the same time Dr. G. C. Mason, dean of the theological department of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss., Dr. W. H. Jernagin, President of the National Race Congress, which will meet October 5, 6, 7 and 8, Washington, D. C., Rev. A. A. Graham, of Pheobus, Va., Dr. C. S. Brown, of Winton, N. C., and Rev. Tally, of Selma, Ala. We all tried to see how much we could eat. I want to thank her for all them good things I got. The officers were elected in the same old way, suspension of the rule. Dr. E. C. Morris, elected president; W. G. Parks, vice-president-at-large; R. B. Hudson, secretary; W. A. J. Stokes, treasurer; M. M. Rodgers, auditor; C. H. Parrish, statistician. Joseph A. Booker retired from the secretaryship of the Home Mission Board, which I consider a mixtake, for he was just getting the work in good shape, where it meant something. I do not know why he retired, but he is going to give his entire time to the development of the Arkansas Baptist College. The American Baptist Home Mission Society and the General Educational Board are going to get behind him—in fact they are already behind him in his efforts to improve, and now for his church to stand up. The Rev. Dr. William M. Haynes, retired from secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention, which was another error, although they elected a younger man, Rev. A. M. Townsend, and made Dr. Haynes, treasurer. Dr. Haynes is a wise business man. I shall not say too much about this matter, but will turn my attention to other things. The next session of the convention will be held in Chicago. When I got through with the conventing I beat it to Chicago and in company with Rev. and Mrs. H. K. Hill, went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart, 5922 Aberdeen street, where we were all received by Mrs. Stewart, who was expecting her husband in at the same time, and soon he came in. city, but met Hon. Perry W. Howard, the secretary of that department, and one of the leading men of our country. Mr. Howard enjoys a lucrative law practice down in Mississippi, but has placed his work in the hands of another that he might have a hand in electing the next President of the United States, and he is there, one more busy man. He is helping to place the speakers for the West, Southwest and Southeast, or any other place around where his department extends, and where they are going to do work. I looked with what ease the work was done. Howard is a great man. Next found me in company with Hon. Chas. A. Cottrill, of Ohio, who is in connection with MF. Johnson, in doing things, and he is some man. He precented me to one of the great women of our race, Mrs. Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland, O., who is to be in charge with Mrs. Victoria Chay-Halley in directing the department of women. They have two able women in this work. Mrs. Fleming, is friendly, and knows how to make friends. I was much impressed with her, and she will impress any one. A fine looker, highly educated, fluent talker, and able writer. She is filling the right place, and from her department we are going to get results. Mrs. Haley is known the world over, and she is one more able worker. If you recall she was an alternate at the last convention held in Chicago, and is in line for to help our women in this next election. They are busy getting the organization in shape. After I had talked with these good people, then I fell in the hands of one of the greatest workers and organizers in this country, although there is not much said about him, and that is Col. Phil. H. Brown, the newspaper man. Col. Brown has charge of publicity, and believe me honey he is busy night and day getting out his stuff, and putting it to the readers. He has one stenographer, and the close of day that young young man's tongue is hanging out, having worked so hard, and Brown is not a man of many words. You have to get direct in touch with him to realize that fetile brain, and the power he has in handling men. It is fortunate they got him. Now you have the combination, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Chas. A. Cottrill, Perry W. Howard, R. C. Church, Mesdames Feming and Haley. I had the pleasure of meeting Editor Julius F. Taylor of The Broad Ax there, and he was one more busy man. He is just in line and is doing his part. I shall have some information for you from time to time touching these men and their work. I am told that Editor W. L. Porter, of the East Tennessee News is going to help to do some talking in this campaign, and he is a good talker and a hard worker. Be a Good Samaritan temporary now known as Switzerland, it was inhabited by a conglomeration of hostile tribes, for the most part of Celtic origin. But the district of the eastern Alps in which the present canton of the Grisons is situated was in possession of the Raetii, of mixed Latina and Eustrascan stock. At the time of the Teutonic invasion of the Roman empire, Rhaetia received a certain number of German-speaking immigrants, and in the tenth century was used for a while as a basis of operations by the Saracen brigands, who made Europe unsafe. Enemies of the Olive Tree Besides of the Olive Tree. Besides the birds, there are numerous insects which attack the fruit, the wood and the leaves of the olive tree. The most dreaded of these is a small fly called Dacus elae, which is about half the size of a common house fly. The female has a sting like a wasp, with which she punctures the fruit where she deposits her eggs. It is calculated that a single fly will thus destroy three hundred or four hundred olives. Electric Bulb Burst Inwardly Electric Bulb Burst inwardly. When an electric bulb is burst, either by design or accident, the force of the explosion is inwardly. This has been proved by painting the bulb with a harlequin effect, half one color and half another. After the explosion, which may be accomplished by a well-almed bullet from a pistol, the colored pieces will be found scattered on the floor on the opposite side from which they were originally placed. Beauty In Bella There is a beauty in bells which is fast being lost to the modern world. Since we cannot keep them in use as they were hundreds of years ago, we must try to keep up an interest in those which remain, and learn what we can about one of the chief beauties of the Middle ages. See how many references to bells can be found in great literature. There is one poem which stands out and which we all should know. "The Bells", by Edgar Allan Poe.—Brooklyn Earle. Easy to Get Rid of Enemy. Long' before bullets were ever thought of as an ideal messenger of death, the idea of working evil on an enemy was extensively practiced by the Ojibwa Indian. He would make a small wooden image of the one whose destruction he sought, and then pierce its head or heart with a needle. He was positive in his belief that the object of his hate would be similarly affected. However, to make certain, he would burn the puppet to the accompaniment of magical words. Bruises In Furniture. Here is a method which has been of great use in removing bruises from furniture. Wet the part with warm water; double a piece of brown paper five or six times, then soak it in warm water and lay it on the dent. Apply a warm (not hot) flatiron until the moisture has evaporated. If the bruises are not gone, repeat the process. You will find this very good, and if the surface of the furniture is not broken the dent will disappear and leave no trace. SKERVES STUDIOS HON. GALVIN COOUDGE Republican Candidate for Vice-President of the United States. Nothing but Emptiness. A little girl, a neighbor of mine, went to the country with me last summer. When we were out of doors looking around the first day, the immensity of the sky seemed to amaze her. "Oo-oo!" she cried, stretching her little arms wide and looking as if to embrace all nature, "Where's everywhere gone to?"—Exchange Instinct. Possibly.

"Smith must have bought a car," remarked Jones. "What makes you think that?" asked Brown. "He used to talk about the blank-blank automobiles," replied Jones, "but now he is talking about blank-blank Jaywalker." -Cincinnati Enquirer. For Dyspeptica For drappeptics there is nothing better than sour milk. It should be made palatable by adding salt or sugar, according to taste. Sprinkling a little cinnamon on it makes it quite good.

Few compliments could exceed that of the Bengalee who concluded a petition with the pious hope that it might be granted "by the grace of God, a gentleman your highness much resembles."—North China Herald. Banish Doubt and Fear. Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything and never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in. The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do—Allen.

The gem contains approximately 21 cubic inches and weighs 2,672,832 carats. It is valued at $125,000 by the owners. The famous Viennese opal, which was without an equal until this specimen was found, weighs 1,658,927 carats. His Reason. Speaking of politics and elections, we knew a man once who announced that he would vote for a certain candidate for office. When asked for his reason, he replied that the candidate was his friend. And when they asked him if he had no other reasons he said no; he said he didn't need any other reason. We have liked this man ever since. MEN AND WOMEN CAN VOTE TO RE-ELECT P. J.
