ECHOES AND RE-ECHOES OF THE RECENT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The Leaders of the Democratic Party Endeavored to Revive the Race Issue or Question and Ride Into Power on the Back of the Negro IT WILL BE RECALLED THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IN 1904, WHICH WAS DOMINATED BY THE SOUTHERN WING OF THAT PARTY, LIKE IN 1920, CONTENDED THAT "THIS IS A WHITE MAN'S GOVERNMENT OR COUNTRY." THE LATE UNITED STATES SENATOR, BENJAMIN R. TILLMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COL. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES OF GEORGIA, JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS AND JAMES K. VARDAMAN OF MISSISSIPPI, HOKE SMITH OF GEORGIA AND REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR., TRAVELED FROM ONE END OF THIS COUNTRY TO THE OTHER PREACHING OR SPEWING OUT THAT MOST DAMNABLE DOCTRINE, WHICH OVERWHELMINGLY DEFEATED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT THAT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

BIRT, STATES THAT HE HAS A MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO SECURE A MUCH LARGER AND MORE MODERN It seems that the leaders of the Democratic party North and South never will learn any wisdom, for seemingly they labor under the impression that they can always make a great deal of capital out of their hellish plan on scheme by holding the Negro up before the eyes of the American people as a great black scare crow, that by appealing to the narrow racial prejudice of the white Americans by making them believe that all colored men are rapists of white women and that no colored man has any higher ambition than to want to marry the beautiful daughters of all white gentlemen and do you want your golden haired daughter to make love to a big burly black "Nigger" and so on and by further attempting to rouse the prejudice of the whites against the colored people at each and every National election and sometimes at local elections the whites are reminded "that this is a white man's country or government" and that the Negro had no part what-ever in its formation as assertion or statement is as far from the truth as the bright shining sun is from the earth. At this time we will not attempt to elaborate on the contribution of the Negro to the stable establishment of this government and what the Negro has accomplished in the way of assisting to support or maintain it on a solid foundation since its formation to the present time. The Hon. James M. Cox, Democratic candidate for President of the United States and several prominent Democrats seeking offices within the gift of the people in this section of the country played up the "Negro Question" good and strong during the recent presidential election and like Hon. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN DELIVERED AN INTERESTING LECTURE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE MEROPOLATAN CENTER LYCEUM, AT THE WENDEL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Last Sunday afternoon Congressman Martin B. Madden delivered a splendid or a soul inspiring lecture at the Wendel Phillips High School Building under the auspices of the Metropolitan Center Lyceum. Hon. John G. Drennan presided over the meeting and in doing so he advised those present to save their money and start a bank account with one dollar, and then add to it each and every week; that in the end they would find that their money or bank book with something behind it to back it up would turn out to be their very best friend; he also urged them to buy and own their own homes as that is one of the best means of causing both white and colored people to become more law abiding and respectable. Congressman Madden said many good things during his talk, he declared that at all times in Congress he had contended for the civil and the political rights of the colored people to the best of his ability and so on. Alderman Robert B. Jackson followed Mr. Madden with a short fury speech. The following program was rendered: Song by Choir; Invocation, Rev. R. P. Washington, Born in (assistant pastor); Song; Remarks by President Sandy W. Tice, introducing Judge John G. Drennan, as Master of Ceremonies; Duette; Introduction of Congressman Madden, by Dr. W. D. Cook; Address, by Congressman Martin B. Madden; Offering; Benediction, by R. F. Washington; THE BROAD AX James M. Cox they thought by rehashing it over and over again to the whites, namely, "that this is a white man's country or government" that that would enable them to successfully ride into political power on the bleeding back of the Negro but the fates and justice which always moves with leaders feet and finally strikes with an iron hand had decreed otherwise. During the presidential election of 1904, the leaders of the Democratic party felt cock sure that they would be able to put the leaders of the Republican party to flight by raising and harping on the "Negro or the Race Question," and Col. Hoke Smith who took a shot at a colored man some years ago for walking on the streets of Atlanta, Ga., with a colored woman the Honorables James K. Vardaman and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Col. John Temple Graves of Georgia, Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr, from nowhere and the late Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina, whose main stock in trade was "Do you want your beautiful daughter to marry a Big Black Burly Nigger" and that the only way to handle a "Nigger is to keep him in front of a gun and that you must always be ready to shoot him and bury his head in the sand." At that time all of those distinguished gentlemen from the South traveled from one end of the North to the other and they expended all of their time in riding around on the back of the Negro and the final result was that they lead the Democratic party on to an inglorious defeat in 1904 and Hon. James M. Cox and his unwise associates followed in the Negro having footsteps of Messrs. Tillman, Smith, Dixon, Williams, Vardaman, Graves and company in 1920. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. Hon. James W. Breen, promoted to be first assistant corporation counsel to fill the place left vacant by the election of Hon. Frank S. Righeimer as Courts Judge, is in line for another promotion. City Hall insiders say Mr. Breen will be one of the Republican nominees for the Circuit Court bench next June. If Mr. Breen is elected COLORED LEADERSHIP TRAINED BY THE Y. W. C. A. JERSEY CITY, N. J. Special to The Broad Ax. By Irene M. Gaines. The Young Women's Christian Association can be of vital service in helping girls and women to understand the issues of the day, to grasp the significance of trends of thought, to visualize their future in the midst of present confusion. But to successfully bring this life more abundant into realization, leadership must be secured and trained. On October 30 twenty young women of our group were called from various parts of the country to attend the third Extension Training Course for colored Y. W. C. A. secretaries. This course is being given in Jersey City, N. J., for a period of three weeks. Enthusiasm, and inspiration have marked each session of the work so far. The faculty is composed of National workers located in New York City. Lectures are the chief features of the course. Among some of the noted women to present the aims, ideals and methods of Y. W. C. A. work are: Miss Eva Bowles, leader, Miss Mary Scott, Dean of School, Dr. Rucker, lecturer on health, Miss Holmes in charge of Bible Methods and Religious Education, Miss Mary E. Jackson, Industrial Work, Miss Crystal Byrd, Girl's Work, Mrs. Stokes and Mrs. Phinney on Room Registry; Miss Mabel Brady is the hostess for the group in attendance in co-operation with Mrs. Hannah C. Smith, the Executive Secretary, and Miss Adelaide E. Sears, Girl's Worker of the Jersey City Y. W. C. A. Among the young women taking the Informal Training Course are: Miss Frances Banks, Des Moines, Iowa; Miss Olive Williams, Detroit, Mich.; Miss E. May Harper, Pittburg, Pa.; Mrs. Louise S.

Hampton, Va.—Dr. James E Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in an address "Resoluteness and Reverence," read the famous "Mayflower Compact" and paid tribute to the early God-fearing, English settlers, both in Virginia and Massachusetts, who laid the foundations of civil government in America Dr. Gregg said: "When we think of the Pilgrim Fathers and their fellow-settlers in Virginia and when we think what has grown out of their efforts, we must again bow our heds in reverence, in thankfulness, and in recognition that their work has indeed God's work also. "It is not so common a custom now to speak of our need of God's help before we can do anything, I suppose because it is the fashion of our times to glorify resoluteness rather than reverence, and to imagine that resoluteness can do it all. "We have been great admirers of power. The kinds of painting and of sculpture that have been most in vogue in recent years, a young artist told me not long ago, are those that express force. 'If a picture knocks you down, intellectually and emotionally,' as he said, 'you can be pretty sure it is great. "In our politics and commerce we have also been too apt to glorify the men who have gained control, by fair means or foul, over large numbers of their fellow-men. "But the war among other things has taught us that power is not in all in all; that the mighty man cannot afford to ignore either his fellow-men or his God; that violence and brutality cannot conquer the world, but peace and good-will can, and some day will. "As we remember the Pilgrims in these coming weeks let us, therefore, take notice and remember this lesson which their brave struggle teaches so plainly; namely, that resoluteness and reverence—the strength of men joined to the strength of Gods will humblyvet fearlessly carry out his will— On Wednesday he was made first assistant at a salary of $8,000 a year. Mr. Breen has conducted many investigations assigned to the law department by Mayor Thompson, including the inquiry into liquor selling which ended in the revocation of the licenses of Ike Bloom's Midnite Follies and Colosimo's cafe. this it is that founds and established a nation, and this it is that carries the individual human soul on from victory to victory." MR. NOAH D. THOMPSON OF LOS ANGELES, CAL, AN OLD-TIME CHICAGOAN, STILL STANDS BY THE BROAD AX. All the old-time society leaders in this city and the people in general who had any business dealings with the old United States Express Co., which was located on Washington street, near Dearborn, still remember Mr. Noah D. Thompson, who held a responsible position with that company for many years. For the past eight or ten years Mr. Thompson has been connected with the editorial department of the Los Angeles Evening Express, which is the oldest daily newspaper published in that city and Mr. Thompson has become quite prominent in all the affairs among the white and colored people residing in it. Ever since he has resided in Los Angeles The Broad Ax has once each week found its way into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, 1711 E. 55th street, and only a few days ago he forwarded his check to continue his subscription to it, at the same time Mr. Thompson, in his letter, wished to be remembered to his old-time friends residing in Chicago. Mrs. Bertha Montgomery and her husband, Mr. W. H. Montgomery, who have for a long time resided at 3412 S. State street, have removed to 223 E. 31st street, where they will be pleased to meet their many friends. Mr. and Mrs. David M. Manson, Vincennes Hotel, are enjoying a short vacation trip to Grand Rapids and Idlewild, Mich., and Mr. Manson is regaining his health in good shape. Hundreds of members and friends of the Grant Chapel, 4000 Evans avenue, attended a banquet which welcomed Rev. and Mrs. T. L. Scott back for another year. Watch for the many beautiful presents presented. Charles Jackson, who has been sick at 4332 S. Wabash avenue, has recovered and is able to be about his duty again.

PARKS HELD FORTH THERE AND AFTER DELIVERING AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE, FORTY-FOUR NEW MEMBERS WERE TAKEN INTO THE FOLD—HEAVY COLLECTIONS ARE GATHERED IN AT ALL THE SERVICES. Millions of colored people all over this fair land two or three times a week join in singing that good old familiar song, namely, that "God or the Lord moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm," that song causes them to become real happy at all times and one would naturally feel that no evil spirit could ever cause them to fall from grace on the slightest occasion, and to become dishonest in their dealings with their fellowmen. For saints or true Christians, especially those who spend so much time in shouting and praying, should always resemble purity, good-nas or the salt of the earth. longing to Bethel Church, and some one who always claims that they are ready and willing to become a shouting saint in glory at a moments notice endeavored to kite a check through the banks and grab off two thousand dollars belonging to Bethel Church. It would seem that ever since Rev. S. L. Birt, succeeded Rev. W. D. Cook as the new pastor of Bethel Church that some of its former members who judge from their actions are not above stealing pennies from the eyes of the dead, have joined) hands or united with the very devil himself in a fruitless effort to destroy Bethel Church. Evidently it must be true that God or the Lord does move in a mysterious way His wonders to perform, for it seems that at or near the time some ten or fifteen days that Dr. W. D. Cook and his family vacated the parsonage belonging to Bethel Church, located at 3155 Calumet avenue, that some evil Christian spirit or someone entered it in some mysterious way or manner and deliberately or in a cold-blooded manner toed off all of the lace curtains which adorned the large French plate glass windows, at the same time all of the beautiful real thin china dishes faded away and as the Boss devil has failed to keep track of them (so they say) then in that case the shouting A.

Many white ladies and gentlemen are always contending that colored men and women who are uncouth, who have not sense enough to walk into some ones house or barn when it rains are always striving to place themselves on social equality with them which statement or contention on their part falls ten million miles short of the absolute truth. The following short highly interesting story should cause a deep blush of shame to creeper over the faces of that class of whites who contend that the colored people are horsing to seek social equality with them: New York—Frank T. Beber, head of the Scully-Walken Private Ambulance Company of New York, has be- longing to Bethel Church, and some one who always claims that they are ready and willing to become a shouting saint in glory at a moments notice endeavored to kite a check through the banks and grab off two thousand dollars belonging to Bethel Church. It would seem that ever since Rev. S. L. Birt, succeeded Rev. W. D. Cook as the new pastor of Bethel Church that some of its former members who judging from their actions are not above stealing pennies from the eyes of the dead, have joined) hands or united with the very devil himself in a fruitless effort to destroy Bethel Church. But it is contended on the part of Rev. Birt, that Satan and all of his evil forces this side of the cold silent grave cannot destroy Old Bethel Church as long as its tried and true members continue to pray for the best that there is in this short life and walk close by the side of their Lord who suffered upon the cross for the advancement of humanity. Rev. Birt is pleased to inform the old-time members of Bethel Church that he has started a real solid movement to secure a vastly larger or more modern church for its ever increasing membership that on Sunday, October 31, that Bishop Fountain held, forth there, at which time fifty new members were added to it, that on Sunday, November 7, Bishop H. B. Parks delivered an eloquent discourse at the conclusion of which everybody was feeling mighty happy and forty-four new members were taken into the fold and the right hand of fellowship was extended to them by Bishop Park. Rev. Birt also states that the collections are very heavy at all the services and that he feels confident that his A. M. E. Lord is still on the side of the true friends and the faithful members of Bethel Church. a young colored woman whom he met in the West Indies that he refuses to permit any one to see her and maintains her in an apartment, the shades of which are always drawn, according to the charge made by his wife, Mrs. Helen A. Berber, who is suing for a divorce. Mrs. Berber obtained from Justice Callaghan in the Brooklyn Supreme Court, an order which directs her husband to show causes why he shouldn't pay $200 a week alimony pending trial of the suit. Mrs. Berber, who lives with her daughter, Miss Helen Berber, in Bay Ridge, alleges that Mr. Berber left New York on July 12, 1918, to make a business trip through the West Indies. He was gone two months. While in Jamies, it is charged, he met in a Mrs. Blanco Wilka, a Crool, 25 years old. Mr. Berber says the colored woman followed him to New York and was met at the pier and taken to a house in W. 717th street. There, says the wife, Berber and the woman were surprised by a raid.

ANTHONY AERY Hampton, Va.—Community day at the Bettis Academy Mininters’ Insti tute proved to be ‘‘ehicken day’’ in the sand-bill country six or eight miles from Trenton, 8. C., which is not far from the late Senator Tillman's home. Fifty upstanding, prosperous-looking devoted colored women from the Mt. (Canaan Baptist Church, which is a rural ehureh with a membership of fifteen hundred, brought their long, low, wooden baskets, richly Inden with fried chicken and ham, pies, eakes, bis- cuits, freshly-cooked vegetables—toma- toes, eabbages, lima beans, and corn— and hominy, to say nothing of water- melons and good old-{gshioned musk- melons (not small, modern canta- loupes). They fed at home-madd tables the one hundred Negro rural preachers and forty-odd church workers who had assembled to receive valuable instruc- tion from white and colored teachers— from Southerners and Northerners— from friends of struggling men and women, Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Char- lottesville, Va., former dean of Tulane University in New Orleans and present president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, which aim to improve Negro rural elementary and secondary schools, offered the blessing at this preachers’ community-day feast. Meanwhile the faithful, generous eol- ored women, dressed neatly and listen- ing attentively; formed a hollow human square about the delighted, hungry, expectant ministers who had traveled miles and miles over the rough, muddy, red-elay roads to get new ideas and freah inspiration. Some ministers had come one hundred and fifty miles, others two hundred miles, and one al- most three hundred miles. Dr. Dillard and a. number of asso- siates came to Bettis Academy for, their second ministers’ intsitute. The} yummer experience in 1919 had proved! the usefulness and feasibility of bring- ig together for study those Negro rural preachers who were ambitious to| rive their congregations a fuller mea- mare of social and religious service. Dr. Dillard and his party received on roth occasions the cordial support of Negroes for miles and miles about this jiomeer school, which has spread un- silingly the gospel of racial: good- rill.

IN COLOR SCHEME Harmonious Hues Should Be Alm, Fashion Writer Says. ‘Choice of Pléasing Shades Affect Mental and Physical Health and Happiness; Avoid Discord, Much that ts beautiful tn art, an- ‘ture, apd im costame makes its ap- peal to us through color, asserts a ‘fashion writer. We see & rare picture, we are attracted by « pretty gown, or we look upon a bed of poppies nod- ‘ding ty the wind, and exclaim, “How Deautiful!” If we bat stopped to. ane- yze that Temark, we should realize ‘that the common ‘quaitty that appeais to us in these different cases is color. | ‘The choice ‘of a harmonious color ‘scheme in clothing and In the decorat- ing of our homes affects our mental ‘and physical health and so our general happiness. Color bas virtually the ‘seme effect on us as music. It makes ‘ue sad or It makes us happy; ft invig- crates or depresses us. It Is a lan- ‘guage without words, And just as we fare annoyed by discord In music, 30 ‘are we disturbed by discord in color. All music is based on the octave, AN color music 1s based on the color ‘of the rainbow, which is the best col or chart. A particular ‘color {s like & particular note in music. It may de pleasing even by itself; but It Is ‘much more pleasing when it is con bined with discordant colors, Every note on the violin or plano, as every color of the rainbow, is pure in itself; Dut when combined with notes that are Rot related to it and to one another, it produces a discordant effect. So, to pro duce harmonious results, one color most be related in some way to the ‘other color or colors, with which It Is combined. “For a brown dress, for instance, following the correct color ‘chart, one combination would be vio let bine, which is the complement of brown; another combination would be orange-yellow, for brown is its ter- tlary shade. Brown also may be com- bined with cream or lavender, for the tertiary tints. ‘There are three primary colors, red, yellow and blue, the pure hues of Which are called the {ntense, or spec tral colors. There are stx of these, as you know: red-orange (a mixture of Fellow and red) blue-violet (a mixture ‘of red and bine). yellow-green (a mix- ture of yellow and blue). ‘The spectral colors are divided into two classes: warm and cold. Red, or ange and yellow are warm; green, dive and violet are cold. As a rule warm color combinations are to be pre ferred; but when’ complementary col ors are used, warm and cold are nice ly balanced, and the effect Is alwcys pleasing. For example, in a room fur ished In brown tones with hangings ‘and upbolsteries of blue, a judicious use of orange-yellow or gold for the bright color note produces @ harmont ous effect. Knowing, then, the basi¢ rules of color combination, and looking to ne ture as the best texcher tn color har moay, we should apply those rules te our clothes, our homes and our handl crafts.

ABOTZ, Defender, W. A. BOBINSON, Attorney-at-Law. Porpose a Fast Swimmer. There is another mammal that is so fast no one has ever been able to find out how fast he is. This is the porpose. The porpose can do stunts in front of the fastest boat that travels the bounding wave and when he is through after several hours of clowning he lirks his tall and nonchalantly speeds beyond the horizon. The porpose will do his tricks under the bow of a nine-knot cargo hound or a 22-knot ocean greyhound. He is like the antelope in that he sets his pace according to the speed of the pursuer. Or a "Situation." When a statesman runs into a brick wall and sees no way to get over or under, he emits a few sharp yelps and calls it a crisis.-Baltimore Sun.
