HAAS, CORDER OF DEEDS OF ING ALDERMAN JOH MR. HAAS' FRIENDS FOR MAYOR OF CHIC The hundreds of thousands of ballots cast in the state wide primaries on September 15, have almost been counted by the State Canvassing Board at Springfield and at the final count is winding up throughout this state and here in this city and in Cook County, it can be safely stated, that Hon. Len Small, the Kankakee banker and farmer who is one of the close or warm friends of Mayor William Hale Thompson has been nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor of Illinois, defeating Hon. John G. Oglebsy, the Lowden, Brundage, Sherman and the Deneen candidate for the same office by between eight to ten thousand majority. The nomination of Hon. Len Small for Governor was a most wonderful victory over the Public Utilities Commission which has been set up in this state for the sole purpose of robbing or plundering the plain or the common poor hard working people, it was also a great victory over Hons. Frank O. Lowden and Edward J. Brundage, who utterly fell down in their treatment of the colored men, women and children in the East St. Louis "race riots" in 1917, further more it was a great victory for Mayor William Hale Thompson in his long and bitter fight against permitting the heaven born and the bloated millionaires from riding rough shod over the rights and the liberties of the common people. The defeat of Hon. John G. Oglesby for the nomination for Governor of this state was a direct slap at the Chicago Tribune and the Daily News, whose editors or officials should be sent to prison without wasting any time, for attempting to encourage the RECEPTION AND BALL IN HONOR OF THE OPENING OF THE POET DEARBORN HOSPITAL, 3831 VENON AVENUE, AND ITS CONTROL BY THE LEADING COLLORED DOCTORS OF CHICAGO. Wednesday evening, October 6, the promoters in the great drive which was headed by Dr. M. J. Brown, in securing the Fort Dearborn Hospital and nurse training school which opens within the next fifteen days; will give a reception and ball in honor of the event, at the Eighth Regiment Armory. The new management has secured some very efficient registered nurses, as superintendent and heads of the various departments. The officials who are to manage the hospital are beginning to instruct these nurses to at all times strive to give the highest type of service possible to physicians, patients and others who may have occasion to come to the hospital. It will be indeed gratifying to the people of the community to know that the hospital's officials are to be all colored. They have experienced some difficulty in getting what they consider an efficient colored superintendent but the task has been accomplished, and within a few days the public at large will be introduced to the future superintendent of this modern institution. The physicians, dentists and pharmacists have united with the Ladies' Auxiliary Board of the Port Dearborn Hospital the latter consisting of some of the well-known society women of the city, in an effort to make the Benefit Ball of next Wednesday evening most enjoyable, and plans are on foot to THE BROAD AX State Canvassing Board to commit wholesale frauds in the way of throwing out enough of the votes cast for Hon. Len Small in the various wards in this city in order to make it possible to set aside the votes or the expressed wish of the hundreds of thousands of Republican voters in this state and to bring about the nomination of Mr. Oglesby for Governor after the majority of the voters at the primaries had decided otherwise. That cold blooded and most reprehensible scheme hatched up by the Chicago Tribune and the Daily News should for ever damn them in the estimation of all decent and honest people everywhere. When Hon. Len Small assumes the duties as Governor of this state he will have at his command a state pay roll amounting to more than thirty-five million dollars and one of the very first things he should do and that is to knock out the Public Utilities Commission and drive all the Negro hating scoundels and grand rascals from all the state departments under his control. Hon. Edward E. Miller, the Thompson candidate, has received the nomination for State Treasurer and the other candidates for the various state offices spring from the faction who are not the friends of Mayor Thompson, who really after all came out far ahead in his first real attempt to extend his power and influence to all parts of this state for at the first clatter out of the box he grabbed off the Governorship which is the biggest and the most important office within the gift of the people and the State Treasurer of Illinois. make this a permanent annual occasion which will grow in popularity from year to year. The Reception Committee, who will have charge of the brilliant social affair, are Drs. J. H. Kelley, C. P. Cooper, W. P. Lawton, I. H. Holloway, C. T. Nichol, J. R. White, M. J. Brown, Edward S. Miller, U. Grant Dailey, A. W. Mercer and Messrs. Harvey B. Saunders, Houston Porter, George M. Porter and Johnson and Dillard. THE BROAD AX SCORED HEAVILY Again Julius F. Taylor has made the Broad Ax a credit to his untiring effort. We have especial reference to the recent city, county and state-wide primary. Indeed the Broad Ax broke all newspaper records in setting forth, the worth and several abilities of the various candidates for public office. The people have come to look up to this paper as the embodiment of truth appertaining to politics and government. Fortunately Mr. Taylor does not commend now hatched theories, nor gives for current history anything not easily proved to be truthful. The Broad Ax always rings true in every crisis, and in great volume stunnily supported the Mayor William Hale Thompson ticket. Contributing in a marked degree to the local handalide of the same, the Thompson, Small, Smith ticket is greatly indebted to the great influence and far-reaching potency of the Broad Ax.

ATTORNEY CHARLES S. GIBBS, SPRINGFIELD, ILL. SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE "SEVEN EAST ST. LOUIS, RIOT CASES." The following letter speaks for it- self: Chas. S. Gibbs, Lawyer, Notary Public Office 723/2 E. Washington St. Springfield IL. Sept. 28, 1920 My Dear Sir: I notice in your paper of September 25, that, on the front page under the caption of "Seven St. Louis Riot Cases Nolle Proposed by Brundage" that, you make the statement that the following named men were dismissed or the indictments nolled against them by the Attorney General, and that they were all white men: I am interested in this article inasmuch as I was the attorney who represented Mr. Wheat and the balance of the fellows in having their cases nolled, and instead of being white men, they happen to be colored and I might say further that, I am the attorney who is working at present and representing the cases of the other fellows to the Board in an endeavor to have them pardoned: I have presented them to the Board twice already, and they will again be up at the October session of the Divisions of Pardons and Paroles, and it might be of interest to you to know that of all of the hearings, the Hou. Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General of Illinois, has correctly joined me in the petition asking for the pardon of these fellows, and while there has been no blairing of trumpets, no beating of toms toms and passing of resolutions, calling of meetings of churches, lodges or clubs to raise money or any other thing toward helping these CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920.

J. Brudage, and I must say that the article which appears in The Broad Ax of the above date, does the Attorney General quite an injustice and as he appears too modest to take the matter up, I hasten to write this letter of explanation. I am not seeking at this time any political capital, nor yet to do anything on earth except to enter the plea that nothing be done to prejudice the cause of these boys because I represent them, and I am going to make the fight until the end for every one of them and I would certainly be glad if all of the press would at least lend their moral support, because I am not naking anything in a financial way, and I will be pleased to notify you what happens at the October session. I have had occasion to represent the other fellows who were sent up from East St. Louis, and I perhaps know more of the evidence upon which they were convicted than any living man on earth, because I have went over it until I have almost committed it to memory, and, I must say that, the conviction of these boys lies wholly at the door of some of our own people who turned traitor in the most trying moment of the trial, and I am not willing for the Attorney General to be censured for any acts in reference to these cases in view of what I know about the record, and I am quite certain that the families of them poor fellows who are in Chester, will stand up and讯诉 now, that, while there --- has been no great demonstration, yet the Hon. Edward J. Brundage has shown more of the spirit of fairness in the matter than a great many of the people of our own race, who for some reasons have taken one side or the other, and have forgotten entirely, except when the matter was brought to their attention, the poor fellows who were down at Chester and who had no friends to fight for them on the outside, except some plain, common-place, everyday, matter of fact kind of lawyer like your humble servant. Hoping this will give you the true status of the action of the Attorney General and will allow you to at least give to the public a true statement of what he has done and the true status of the boys whose cases were nolled, I am, The article referred to found its way into the columns of this paper from the columns of a newspaper published in St. Louis, Mo., and we are very glad to learn that the men mentioned in the article are colored men instead of white men, and Attorney Gibbs being a reader and a constant supporter of this paper we desire to heartily thank him for his explanation of the whole affair—Ed.

CHICAGO CONFERENCE, WOUND UP ITS AFFAIRS AT THE DES MOINES, IOWA, THE FIRST OF THIS WEEK. Bishop L. J. Coppin, Presiding, It was Addressed by Bishop A. J. Carey; Bishop W. Sampson Brooks and other Noted Speakers. One Thousand Dollars was Raised for Bishop Brooks, to Assist Him In his work in Africa. It is Reported; That Rev. W. D. Cook, Pastor of Bethel Church This City; Refuses to be Transferred to Des Moines Iowa, where he had been Assigned by Bishop Coppin; That he and the Majority of the Officers of Bethel Church, will sever their connection with the A. M. E. Church and Establish an Independent Methodist Church in this City; which will not be ruled nor governed by, A. Bishop or Presiding Elder. The first of this week the Chicago A. M. E. Conference wound up its affairs at Des Moines, Iowa, it was the closing of the 38th annual session, all of its sessions were largely attended despite the fact that roalroad fare is mighty high and it costs a deal of money in other directions to travel about from place to place, Bishop L. J. Coppin presided over the Conference which from a financial point of view was the best in the history of the church in this section of the country. For more than sixteen thousand dollars was raised and turned over to the A. M. E. Lord to be used for various purposes in connection with the church extension work, at one of the night meetings one thousand dollars was collected and turned over to Bishop W. Sampson Brooks to assist him in his great work for the redemption of Afriac. Rev. F. C. Boyd of Waterloo, Iowa, preached the annual sermon and communion was administered by Bishop Coppin who ably presided over it, it was addressed by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, Bishop A. J. Carey, Rev. W. D. Cook and by many other big preachers in the connection. When the time had arrived to make the appointments for the next year many of the preachers stood on their tip tops for they were unable to tell what Bishop Coppin and the fates had in store for them, for after all the amount of dollar money which had been raised by each preacher the past year cut some figure as to his appointment for the coming year, Rev. James Higgins was selected presiding elder for the East Chicago District and Rev. N. J. McCracken was chosen as the presiding elder for the West Chicago District. The appointments and changes were as follows: Rev. W. D. Cook of Bethel Church, this city, St. Paul Church Des Moines, Iown, Rev. S. L. Brit of St. Paul, Des Moines, Iowa, to Bethel Church, Chicago, Rev. J. M. Henderson NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE EXPOSES CON-QUEST OF HAITI. State Department Busy "Explaining" Reign of Terror in Negro Republic—Congressional Investigation Predicted. (Special to The Broad Ax.) New York City, September 29. After five years during which the invasion of the island of Haiti by United States Marines was shrouded in secrecy, silence has been broken by James Weldon Johnson acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who was sent to Haiti by that organization to investigate. Mr. Johnson's charges have been reiterated by Senator Warren G. Harding in his campaign for the presidency and the State Department has had to reply to numerous editorial attacks made by newspapers to which the N. A. A. C. P. investigation supplied facts. In brief Mr. Johnson's indictment of the Wilson administration's course in Haiti recites: 1. That the island of Haiti was seized by the United States Marines and that in five years some 3,000 natives were shot. 2. That the Haitian assembly was dispersed by force at the order of an American officer of Marines and that the Haitian republic has been virtually overthrown. 3. That a convention was forced by the United States upon the Haitian Government changing the constitution of Haiti, so that Americans could purchase and own land there. 4. That the invasion of Haiti and the conduct of Haitian militia had been unduly benvolent to the National City Bank of New York, whose vice-president returned to the Institutional Church this city, Rev. H. E. Stewart returned to Quinn Chapel this city, Rev. Harvey to St. Mary's, Chicago, Rev. B. U. Taylor returned to Wayan Chapel, the North Side, where he will entertain the Conference next year in his new church, Rev. J. J. MeDowell from Glencoe to Hyde Park in place of Rev. W. H. Griffin who is on his way to Los Angeles, Cal., to regain his health, Rev. I. N. Daniels will hold forth at Glencoe and Rev. G. W. Wilson will preach and pray at St. John in Englewood and Rev. Timothy Reeves turned in enough of dollar money to enable him to continue to preach at St. Stephens on the West Side. Rev. W. D. Cook, Kicks Clear Over the Traces, He Will Not Leave Chicago for Des Moines, Iowa. It seems that on the eve of the opening of the Conference that Charles A. Griffin, Sandy W. Trice and four other delegates represent all the officers and members of Bethel Church, wended their way to Des Moines, Iowa, hearing a petition which had been duly signed by all of its officers and by many of its other members, requesting Bishop Coppin to return Rev. W. D. Cook to Bethel Church for at least one more year as he had not served them the five year limit and when the petition was presented to Bishop Coppin as a high minded servant of his Lord and Master he cheerfully promised the delegation representing Bethel Church that Rev. W. D. Cook would be returned to them but when the time rolled around to make the appointments Bishop Coppin and his shouting Lord had changed their minds at the very last minute and Rev. Cook was transferred from Bethel Church to St. Paul Church, Des Moines, Iowa, but Rev. Cook will not leave this city and he and the old officers of Bethel will start an independent Methodist Church in this city which will not be bossed or ruled over by a political Bishop nor by a tricky presiding elder. dent, Roger L. Farnham, had represented the State Department in Haiti. 5. That the salaries of the President and other officers of Haiti were withheld because the Haitian Government refused to turn over the National Bank of Haiti to the National City Bank, alleging that an agreement previously made had been tampered with. Among the newspapers which have editorially demanded explanations from the State Department of the occupation of Haiti are the New York Evening Post, the Globe, and the Tribune. The Secretary of State in reply to Mr. Johnson's charges published several statements announcing that General Lejeune, Commandant of the Marines and Admiral Knapp had been sent to Haiti to investigate. He also insisted the intentions of the United States in Haiti had been "benevolent." Mr. Johnson thereupon replied, asking for a Congressional investigation of affairs in Haiti and charging that the investigations by General Lejeune and Admiral Knapp would probably result in an official whitewash. Latest advises to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicate that a Congressional investigation will be held as a consequence of Mr. Johnson charges.

The public often asks about the early environment of the individual and to be true, it is a bit concerned about where one came from, although frequently it is a better idea to learn if possible ones purposes in life, whither they trend and what they are going to do. Cetrainly the most is expected in the good associations, and the early environment. Mrs. Jas. Hale Porter, Mrs. Estella Davis, Mrs. Harry Hudson, Mrs. J. W. E. Thomas, Mrs. Albreta Moore Smith, Dr. Fannie Emanuel and Mrs. Elizabeth Landsay Davis all represent the home, and yet find activities almost divine outside and not circusmeder, nor their work restricted. Representing a variety of worth-while occupations in which they brightly shine. These are pilots guiding the race toward the same channels and currents along life's journey, progressive, aggressive and full of purpose which tends to give force to our determining power. In the other years J. W. E. Thomas John G. Jones, John C. Buckner, Rev John F. Thomas, Rev. John F. Jenifer Mrs. John Jones, Lloyd Wheeler, Sr. Rev. Father Thompson, Dr. Alfred Perry, Alexander Lane and Dr. As Barnes, each one stood out in his earth plane affairs above and beyond the crowd becoming us to come "this way," and so we have struggled harder for the most because they pointed out the way. We knew them well and it has long been our heart promise to try to speak kindly of the dead. But they are not really dead, their good work which they left unfinished is being carried on as we understand it. 333 HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS. HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS.

We remember calling upon Hon. Frederick Douglass at the home of Attorney and Mrs. S. Laing Williams in 1893. We were in the company of Mrs. Elizabeth Keeley of Wilberforce, Mrs. J. T. Jenifer, Mrs. Frank Grimke, Mrs. Anna Cooper, Mrs. Lucy Thurman and Mrs. Frances E. Preston of Detroit, Mich. It was during the World's Fair in Chicago. Mr. Douglass made his home with the Williams' and such visits upon the "grand old man" gave us ample opportunity to become better acquainted with the hostess. Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams who had known Mr. Douglass all her life. She is doubtless one of our ablest women, and although modest and unassuming she has made a host of friends and acquaintances of the people who enjoy the larger life, and who engage in the larger activities. A foreible speaker, with a trenchant pen and with a lovely character. Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Dr. George Burnham Foster, each has passed out of this life, and while not belonging to us by blood of blood or race, yet they were for us, and in the human sense were of us. They were not especially the friend of the individual, although they knew the best ones among us, but they were the friends of the oppressed races, and fortunately we enjoyed their friendship in so marked degree, that they became objects of grave concern among their less fortunate Caucasian friends who classed Negroes with mules and dogs. The world was made poor when each in their turn breathed out their sweet, of Deeds of Cook County, by parity at his back.

They were not hypoerits, they were friends in truth. Perhaps one of our princes in the blood is named Adelbert Roberts, a member of the legislature from the 2nd Ward, astute, honorable and known for manly virtue, he represents the decency of our period and scoffs at the perfidy and the trynanny of men. For many years we have known Geo T. Kersey and we have found the world to be a tolerable fair world since be coming an acquaintance of his. Full and rounded, fledged and groomed away beyond the peg set for common mortals, he enjoys a unique distinction, nobody dislikes George Kersey and almost everybody loves him. Why? he cause he strives to represent the teachings of a nearly environment. This might well apply to each of the following gentlemen Julius Avendolph, John Auter, George Arthur, Faustin S. Delaaney, Jas. W. Woodlee, David Manson, George Porter, Morris Lewis and George Walker. Far back in the '70s we met Prof Wm. Emanuel the eminent chiropodist. In looking back over those years that he begun to impress his worth upon the public, it must not be forgotten that as that early day very few men browsed along the field, of his choice, or held it as an object of great promise. Much of the distinction and credit to the science belongs to Prof. Wm. Emanuel. In every manner and form his distinct personality has been a valuable asset to the progress of the race in Chicago. He is a leading citizen and enjoys honors and wears them with dignity seldom conferred upon men of Negro blood. Occasionally an entire group falls heir to fame on account of some worthy action that brings credit to themselves and their race. We could not bring ourselves up to the point to write volubly of each individual composing a large group, as in case of the Eighth Regiment headed by Col. Franklin A. Denison and more recently by Col. Otis Duncan. There are a number of well-known gentlemen in that history making military body. They were called to war, cantoned at San Antonia, and Houston, Tex., and Springfield, Ill., and afterward sailed for France. On the battlefield, in the trenches, all over terror stricken and battled seared France these men fought, and gave their blood as patriots, hundreds are today buried in honored graves in the soil of France.

Reader after you have read the above and you are not touched, the religion you profess, and all of those other divine influences set to working for human upreach have had but the very sickest, and saddest failure on you. God-put each of us here for noble service to humanity, not for yourself, but for others. It is when we restrict all benefits as selfish benefits that we violate Christ's teachings, and if your heart is not big enough to vibrate in, sympathic harmony and unison with the good works provided by God himself in the good hearts of men and women, you can only come to grief. Give a dollar or two to save a girl or two. A good woman is God's best gift to man. Decency and respectability count more than anything else in the development and progress of races. Our girls must be placed in respectable atmosphere, beyond the reach of the brainslid idiot that sees nothing in woman beyond the summit of a brute's desires. The American conscience needs awakening. The Negro must awake. The Caucasian protects his females with a shotgun and a rope. The Negro of this very new dawn of the Negro day is almost doleef and infamously one sided in displaying his physical manly qualities, but almost deaf and dumb and miserly whenever the preservation of his females is brought to the fore. We worship virtue and purity of character in our women, but we can't stand still when we are told that it requires thousands upon thousands of dollars to supply all of the good opportunities, and to break down the barriers that come in the wake of our development. Give a dollar or two to save a girl or two, is a good idea and the erection of forstresses to bulwark the virtue of our own girls, to strengthen her against the impulsive moment when some profulous seconduld will whisper devilty in her ear offers as great a need among our race life as the erection of collossal churems, and fattening preachers with yellow legged pullets.

Fellow Leaguers and Colored Americans: By virtue of the power vested in me as President of the League, I herein issue this call for the 13th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League of the United States of America. The said meeting will be held in the City of Baltimore, Md., October 20, 21 and 22, 1920 at the Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. J. R. Biggs, Pastor. The Board Meeting will be held on Saturday, 23rd, preaching on "Democracy in America" in local churches, Sunday 24th. The paramount issue will be the Nationalizing of the rights and real Democracy. Our Convention slogan is: "Abolish Federal Race Segregation and Romove the Segregation Party from Power." We call upon every Branch of the League to assemble for organization to send delegates; upon every member, wherever there is no Branch of the League, to form one for that purpose, and upon every friend in a community to take the initiative in organizing our people, men and women, to elect and send delegates to Baltimore. Yours for the abolition of Federal Segregation by the election of 1920. Respectively submitted, NATHAN S. TAYLOR, President. 3545 Grand Blvd. Chicago, Ill. Education of the head, the heart and the hand is the great need of the world today, and as remarkable as our development may seem to be there are a great number of scrows loose in the running gear of our race mechanism. We see every day evidences of our sad luck of race cohesion. As we take a perspective glance about us and see what the other races are doing, and have been doing all the time, we are almost impelled by our disparagement to consider comparison odious. Being educated carries along all the sober forces that go to figure so very insistently to make us assume proper obligations, to fill the bill exactly in matters of responsibility and to determine for ourselves the great joys and blessings accruing from a well established and fixed notion as to ideals. Education has done for us in fifty years considerably more than it has done for any other race. What does that prove? It proves many things but chiefly it proves that we have great intellectual capacity, a capacity that enables our young men and women to win honors from high schools in colleges of the first magnitude. The principles of life which should enhance, as well as multiply opportunities spring from environment in a great measure, although the parents stem was forbidden centuries to read, and to learn, they saw the results of education and culture in the life around them and the human heart always thirsting and nearly bursting for the best and noblest things of life they have bequeathed it to their children, reflected from the mind and heart of our ancestors uneducated and unlettered. But education is not of very much service if it is not used in the best sense possible. If you, reader can find weak spots in your social and educational structure that need strengthening, do not grovel and bungle, begin and hastily mend them, and do not fool yourself that dress and physical appearance will take the place of knowledge and culture, the world is already two full of dressed up pimps and molly-coddles.

Beauty In Bells 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 Eagle."

STUMP, THE WOULD-BE EDITORIAL WRITER OR NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT; HAD A ROYAL TIME, AT PARIS, KENTUCKY AND AT OTHER POINTS IN THE BLUE GRASS STATE. He Freely Predicts; That Hon. Warren G. Harding and Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Will be Elected President and VicePresident of The United States. Rev. W. D. Cook the eloquent and honest pastor of Old Bethel Church, who will soon have a new Church of his own where his hundreds of friends can worship to their hearts content. Paris, Ky.-After all this world is not so large, yet there is so much in it. It takes up so much space that I fear if I should attempt to make a world I would not be able to find a place to hang in without intruding on the world which God has made already. God made His world first, and then He made man to take charge of it, and has had charge ever since. Man is very busy just, at this time, especially the American man, and he is trying to get a man for leader of his country. He has had one for eight years who has been—well he has just been, and I heard a man say the other day that President Wilson had been as full of blunders as a tick full of human blood, but this I am not discussing, but I want to congratulate the Republican party upon being able to select a real man to fill the position four years to come, and believe me the American people are going to elect Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio for President of the United States and they will make a wise selection. The thing I like and admire about him, is that he has a record to which he invites the world to look into. I believe that we will all be safe in the hands of our President, and I believe that he has just got sense enough to be President of all the people. Now as I want the world to know that we are not asking any special favors, because of our race or color. We want that lynching shall be consigned to the place where it belongs. Rev. W. D. C. Church, where his content. a place that is so hot, but takes only four letters to spell commencing with "h" and ending with "ll" and there is one letter after the h which will make it good and hot. Lynching has its origin frown down there, and I am sorry to say that it is permitted and fostered by the Democrats, of this country. I did not know this party was so good and strong behind it until I read this in the Louisville Herald the other day, and I will let you read it for yourself, and I will not need to make any comment: "Harrodsburg, Ky., Sept. 24.—Mrs. John.A. Fulton, of Bardstown, opened the Democratic campaign here this afternoon. A large crowd of women heard her. She dwelt at length on the danger of the colored women's vote if not offset by 'the ballot of the better element.' She said that there were some blots on Kentucky's history but one of the worst was Governor Morrow's 'stage play of military law' at Lexington recently 'to protect a Negro brute.' This is the kind of stuff that is being dished out to create votes for the Democrats by stirring up race hatred, race prejudice, and condemning a man who is sworn to see to it that the law is carried out, for doing his duty. The "brute" referred to in her speech, was the man who descended below the level of a brute in committing crime, and for his crime he was legally executed as he should have been, and we are all glad that he was. It was done by law as all such should have been. This country is sadly in need of more men like Governor Morrow, Governor Bickett and Governor Robinson, of Oklahoma, Governor Robinson called on the Attorney General of his state to take steps to have two men removed from office as Sheriff, because they permitted lynching, declaring that they were either a party to it, or were incapable of inforcing the law. No doubt you have heard of Governor Bickett, and I am of the opinion that he is living 50 or 100 years in advance of his party. We shall all watch and see how his recommendations will be regarded. In the meantime I want that we shall all get ready for the fall election and women alike, and let --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 2, 1920 us vote, and vote on time. I care not whether or not the vote is counted I am going to do my duty and leave the rest with God and my party. I am a full fledged Lincoln Republican, and I am with the party of Abraham Lincoln. Of course you know without me telling you that I have been going some, and I am going to be going some more in a few days, for right now I am in Paris, Ky., and just reached here from way down in Georgia, and before you can read the first line of this letter I will be in Cairo, Ill., and before you can read the last I will be headed for Washington, D. C., and almost there attending the National Bace Congress which will meet next week. I don't know just where I was when I wrote to you last week, but I do know that I have been to Indianapolis, Louisville, Ky., Frankfort, Angusta Ga., and back here to this man's town and all in a week. That's going some and don't you forget it. I think I was with William H. Steward, and right in his home when I wrote that last letter which you have read from me. He is one of America's great men, and he was busy with the party getting things in shape for election, and declares that Kentucky with 13 electoral votes will land them for Senator Harding. Now if you know anything about Steward, you know he is not gushy. You may put some weight on what he says. It is a nice Cook the eloquent and honest past, who will soon have a new Ch his hundreds of friends can worsh thing to have the confidence of the people. When I got through with Louisville, I made it to Frankfort, where an emancipation meeting had been staged, and Charles Stewart, of Chicago was the speaker. He was born in Frankfort, and returned for the purpose of making an emancipation speech and a political address, and I am told that he did both. He seemed at home. The people turned out to hear him make the speech. Both races were represented and the meeting was under the auspices of the local club there in Frankfort, with a Mr. Martin as president. It represented the young men who were loyal to the party and who did not break when Senator Stanley was nominated, but supported the Republican nominee, although he was defeated. These men are still in charge of affairs, and are making things go in Frankfort. They are helping to organize the women and get them registered, and teaching them how to vote. While in Frankfort, I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Brooks, and they gave me royal treatment, also Miss Martha E. Williams, one of the teachers, and I met Prof. W. H. Mayox, the principal of the Clinton Street High School, and an old educator. He had been a little under the weather, but was himself again, and getting in shape to do business. School was in session and doing well under this noted educator. He was looking fine. I met Dr. E. E. Underwood, the supreme Keeper of Records and Seal of the Pythians; T. K. Robb, the undertaker; Dr. Anderson and his wife, and many others, whose names I do not recall. I made it to Frankfort, and from there to this point, then I jumped that running thing, for Atlanta, reaching there at night I went to a sleeping house operated by Mrs. Craig, and I was thrown right into battle. I had not been in that bed more than 20 minutes, before I heard the command "Attention." I looked and there were just 1,000,000 bed-bug soldiers in line and ready to make a charge on me. This charge was made, and I recreated only for a few minutes, and then I came forward in battle line, and slow on the first charge 999,999, and you 1. 下列各组物质中，能溶于水的是（ ） may see from this just how many escaped. I am still looking for him. I tried to sleep, but soon the rats made a charge, but I could not get to see them. I could hear them getting ready for battle and I just had to remain awake the rest of the night listening to them getting ready for battle, and at 4 o'clock in the morning in fear and trembling I made well my escape. Excuse me from the Craig House in the future. I made it to Augusta, spent one night in the town, visited the Walker Baptist Association, also visited the Hanye Institute headed by that great woman, Miss Lucy Laney, heard a sermon by Dr. C. T. Walker, and a great sermon by Dr. Ernest Hall. I am sure you will be sorry to learn that Dr. Walker, is breaking in health. Let us all pray that God will restore him, for he is America's greatest preacher. I will not be able to tell you all the things which came to my notice, not even about that great scholar and educator, Prof. Silas X. Floyd, and other points of interest. I spent Sunday in Atlanta, with Dr. Ernest Hall. This is one more busy man and he has a great church, and people who love him like their own life. Dr. Hall has invented a lineament which will cure rheumatism, and believe me he has his clerks busy all the time filling orders. His mail had piled up for the few days he had been away. I think it will take him and his stengraphers and clerks several weeks to catch up. I admire this young man, but had to start at the bottom and work his way to the top. Long may he live to do good in this world. After morning preaching, I had dinner, and then made it to the stable where I got on the L. & N. iron horse and made it to this place several hours late. God bless you and yours. I was met at the stable by Prof. F. M. Wood. istor of Old Bethel church of his own hip to their hearts Principal of the High School and one of Kentucky's best men. He is doing some real good constructive work in this world, and we all admire him for what he is doing and for the thought he is drilling into the hearts and minds of our boys and girls. There are graduates from this school in all parts of the country and many of them doing good work. He is the William J. Simmons of Kentucky. Right by his side is to be found his wife, and they are working together for our people. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. If you want any information about this voting business, and if you want to know anything about Senator Harding, just write to Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Hon. Perry W. Howard, Hon. Phil Brown, Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, all at the Andoritium Hotel, Chicago, III. I will stop here for a little while. I must not forget Mrs. Fleming who is at the same address, and who is one of our great women. She comes from Cleveland. CHARLES E. STUMP. Easy to Get Rid of Enemy. 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. Comemponet Swissland. Before the Romans conquered the territory 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 canon of the Grisons is situated was in possession of the Raeut, of mixed Latte and Eutruscan stock. At the time of the Teutonic invasion of the Roman empire, Rheaetia 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 SaracenOrigands, who made Europe unsafe.

It is partially hardened and camphor gum mixed with it, when it is rolled into sheets and thoroughly dried. To manipulate it, it is softened by steam and then hardened by drying.

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.
