The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX The Consecration and Dedication of Monarch Lodge No.99 F. and A.M. and Installation of Officers Was Held Last Saturday Evening at the Morgan Park High School MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL PRINCE HALL GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS AND JURISDICTION; THOMAS H. SAMUELS BOUGHT THE NEW LODGE INTO BEING; HE WAS ABLY ASSISTED BY JOHN B. HART, MOST WORSHIPFUL DEPUTY GRAND MASTER, AND THE WORSHIPFUL MASTER, WILLIAM G. ANDERSON OF ROYAL LODGE NO. 96. also said to have wagered their summer earnings. At one game, where students lost several hundred dollars, the officials were blamed and attempts were made, it is said, to do them bodily harm. At another game fights resulted over the officials' decision and completely broke up the game. One man who was disorderly exclaimed, "I have my money on this game." The practice of betting, if allowed to continue, will completely destroy all the good that may be derived from wholesome competition. Many schools have started campaigns among the students to eliminate the evil. The Association denounced betting, in no uncertain terms, as follows: "We recommend that this Association go on record as being utterly opposed to the practice of gambling in connection with athletic games among colored schools and colleges, and we urge the officials and authorities of the schools to do all in their pwer to abolish the practice of gambling by the members of the teams, by the student body, and by those in attendance at the games." Physical Education An Essential. The Association stands for progress and is exerting influence, not only in athletics, but in the introduction and development of physical education in the schools. Recently a letter was sent to Negro institutions, urging the introduction of physical education as a part of the school program. Answers to many of the letters show that schools that formerly showed little interest in this work are now putting forth efforts to introduce it and to secure trained workers where funds are available for such purposes. Every school in the Association has a director in charge of this work. The Virginia Theological Seminary and College was voted a member of the Association. This school is building a gymnasium which will be ready for the coming season, and has in its employ J. R. Hunt who is physical director. Considerable time was given to a discussion of the eligibility of players. Howard and Lincoln have already qualified as Class A colleges, according to recognized national standards. Efforts will be made by the Association to have the schools raise their standards of academic work. It is a question whether schools which are not doing collegiate work will be admitted to the Association. The first bilateral track meet, --- M. B. known as the Annual Track. Meet of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, will be held at Howard University on May 14. Maj. M. T. Dean, formerly of the U. S. Army and head of the R. O. T. C. at Howard University, and now director of the department of physical education at Howard, will have entire charge of the management of the meet. Every school in the Association will be represented by a track team, making this the biggest affair of the kind ever held among Negro institutions in this country. NEWS NOTES HOWARD UNIVERS SITY, WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C.—Howard University by action of its Board of Trustees at the recent meeting in February enjoys the distinction of being the first institution for the education of colored youth to promote graduate work by the establishment of fellowships in various fields of learning. This progressive movement is in accordance with the practice at the best American institutions. Recipients of fellowships receive compensation from the University for limited service. Applicants must be graduates or prospective graduates of recognized colleges or universities and must have received sufficient undergraduate training in special fields to pursue graduate work. Fellows must undertake a program of graduate work leading to the Master's degree. Washington, D. C.—President Warren G. Harding has just appointed two new Commissioners of the District of Columbia, namely, Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph, President of the Second National Bank, Washington, D. C., and Capt. James F. Oyster. Both have served as Commissioners before. Mr. Rudolph is a Trustee of Howard University being a valued member of the Finance and Executive Committees. For many years he has been deeply interested in the work of this important institution for the education of colored youth at the National Capital. Serving as a member of the Executive and Finance Committees, he has been of very great help to the University administration in the management of its financial affairs. Officers, teachers, students and members of the Alumni of the Howard University very greatly appreciate the high recognition which has come to a member of its Board of Trustees. Howard University Receives Greatly Increased Appropriations, Ecumenical Publication Corrected, Budget for Next Fiscal Year Amounts to $737,850. Washington, D. G.-Howard University, after receiving last year (1920-1921) an increase in Congressional appropriation nearly as large as the whole amount received for all purposes the year 1919-1920 and for several years previously, has this year (1921-1923) received at the hands of the Congress which has just adjourned a total appropriation of $820,000, an increase over the appropriation of $825,000 for the year 1920-1921 of $37,000. Of this CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921. appropriation of $280,000 for the year 1921-1922, $116,000 to toward additions to the Home Economics Building for which $85,000 were appropriated last year, thereby providing for the University a Home Economics Building, to include dining halls and kitchens to accommodate 525 students, to cost 201,000. Erroneous publication has been made to the effect that the Congressional appropriation for Howard University next year has been reduced by six ninety thousand dollars. This error doubled grew out of the fact that the chronicle did not await the final action of the House and Senate but reported upon the items as carried by the House appropriations alone. The Senate recommendations carry the above named sum of $280,000, which appropriation was accepted by the House of Representatives. On Thursday afternoon the monitors at Keith School were tendered a frolic from 3 to 5 p. m. in appreciation of their valuable services toward advancing the general status of their school which, in the final analysis will radiate a much desired influence in the community. To the end that law and work may be the dominant factors in their school life, the coterie of helpers has been selected with a view to their special adaptability for supervision and these boys and girls have become impressed with a sense of the responsibility which attaches to being leaders and are proving themselves dependable by being always at their post when James Newby and Addis Story sound the first tap of the old school bell. In working out a comprehensive program of efficiency plus, the monitor organization is made to cover a feature known as Keith School Good Citizenship Squad. The Captain, Andrew Love, is assisted by Charles Greenberg, Kenneth Edwards, William Mason and Hilliard Perry. To these boys of today who will be the men of tomorrow, we offer a special word of advice to seek even thus early in life the vision of civic and economic fitness as well as educational worth. The Heroines of Jericho Held Forth Sunday Eve., Palm Sunday At the Metropolitan' Community Center Church WHICH WAS FILLED TO OVERFLOWING BY THE MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS COURTS OF THAT ANCIENT AND HONORED ORDER. MR. JOHN B. HART, MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND JOSHUA, DELIVERED THE OPENING PRAYER. REV. W. D. COOK, PREACHED AN ELOQUENT SERMON, WHICH WAS FULL OF GOOD THOUGHTS, AND IT WAS HIGHLY ENJOYED BY ALL PRESENT. MRS. ESTELLA CALAMAN SWEETLY SANG A SOLO, "THE PALMS." BY LOUISE U. WEBB, P. G. W. MATRON. "The Signal of the Scarlet Cord" in all its brightness was witnessed and recognized in Reverence to its "Divine Call." Sunday evening, March 20, at Metropolitan Community Center Church, where the largest assembly of members of the order ever known assembled to hold their annual divine service. Promptly at 7 o'clock p. m., a large number of the officers and members of the nine courts represented were in line beautifully arrayed in their robes and crowns and ready for the services. Never in the history of the order was there such a gorgeous display of beautiful robes then the ones worn by a number of the present and past grand officers who were in attendance. The beautiful room "place of worship" selected by the very excellent "Divine Service Committee" was decorated with palms and scarlet colors appropriate for the occasion, and at 7:30 p. m. as the splendid choir sang "Onward Christian Soldiers." The long line of Heroes in a quiet dignified manner "waving their palms" were escorted to the Auditorium of "The Center" by the Marshals, Bro. Lee Taylor and Bros. G. B. Bore, where the divine services were held. A large number of the present and Past Grand officers were in attendance, and they with the Present Most Ancient Matrons and Most Worthy Johns, were escorted to the rostrum. A splendid program, brief and carefully prepared by the committee, was then rendered. Mrs. Ella Young, P. M. A. M. of Napoleon Court and Secretary of the joint committee, in behalf of the joint committee and Order, stated with regrets that Mrs. M. E. Davenport, who had been selected as Chairman of the Committee and Mistress of Ceremonies, Owing to the very serious illness of her only sister, Mrs. Sarah Fletcher would not be able to be present. Mrs. Young therefore in her own pleasing manner assumed the duty of Mistress of Ceremonies, expressing sympathy in behalf of the heroines of the Order for the sisters in distress, and the program continued as follows: Object of Divine Service, Mrs. Ella Young; Invocation, John B. Hart, M. W. G. Joshua; selection, Choir; remarks, Mistress of Cermonies, Mrs Ella Young; selection, Choir; address, Sister Rosa Touche, M. A. G. Matron; selection, Choir; sermon, Rev. W. D. Cook, Pastor; selection and offerty, Choir; solo, "The Palms," Sister Estella Calanan; announcements, Pastor Presentations—The committee arranged the "Scarlet Cord" presentations by preparing three small scarlet silk bags filled with offerty from the court present, tied with silk scarlet and the several special squads, the occasion marked the beginning of an epoch in the social life of the pupil at this school which is a long stride in the right direction when we pause to consider the head is so often balanced by the heart. Reasoning from this premise therefore, we conclude that hearts pulsating with happiness will beat in full unison with their work and from expressions as how they intend to make their future efforts square with the appreciation shown them, we may confidently look for the morale thermometer to climb from zero to 100 in the shade. Mrs. Louise Webb, 3807. Vinceanes avenue, was among some of our many friends who favored us with a beautiful Easter card. Mr. Ida B. Wells Barnett, after being confined to Provident Hospital for a long time is slowly regaining her health again and she is now able to be up and around in her lovely home at 3624 Grand boulevard. cord, which were presented as follows: To the Pastor, Sister Ida M.

T.; Clara Cooper, P. G. Treas; Sadie Carter, G. Court Seey; Anna Dunmore, G. C. Treas; and Sister Matilda Smith, G. I. G. Keeper, and J. W. Moore, G. W. J. The very impressive address rendered by Sister Rosie Touche, M. A. G. Matron, who had served the order earnestly and faithfully for almost three years, admonishing the Heroines to be loyal to the principals of the Grand Old Christian Order, the splendid sermon on behalf of the Heroine "Rahab" of old and the great Christian duty of women, rendered by Rev. Cook, will long be remembered by the Heroines of Jericho who were in attendance and who although the rain fell and the "night was dark;" responded to "The Signal" of the Scarlet Cord which binds the Heroines of Jericho together the world over.

In sorrow we bend our heads, and with great respect we turn our minds upon the loved ones departed this life. The griefs we share are for our mutual loss. Today we are in heart and mind once more with the loved ones, the dear friends with whom we talked and walked, and held sweet communion. In spirit we abide with them, and our love is everlasting, even unto the end. While our life blood is warm in our veins we shall always fondly remember them, even to the remotest time. They are ours, and we are their's, only death separates us. While they lived great was our respect, dying they left a rich legacy of love, and richer yet with the hope we shall meet again when the glorious morn of the resurrection shall come upon the earth. We cherish fond recollections of Dr. Alexander Lane who had practiced his profession in thi scity, taking an active part in politics, and finally being elected to the legislature at Springfield. Dr. Alfred F. Perry in 1886 read medicine in the writer's office at Brenham, Tex., before going to Mehary Medicine College at Nashville, Tenn. He came to Chicago soon after the World's Fair, and by close application to his profession built up a very large practice. He was noted for his fine appearance and his pleasant, and affable nature. Dr. Henry C. Cress came to Chicago from North Carolina. He was intensely a race champion. Entered politics became a power. He was a good doctor, and had a host of friends. He became one of the strong men in Quinn Chapel. Dr. Claud A. Bell was ambitious to become an X-Ray expert. Getting a little knowledge of it at Meharry he desired to know more, and so he set his heart on that work, and became our first X-Ray man of the race in this city. He took pharmacy, and medicine at Meharry Medical College. He was one of the forces at Provident Hospital. Dr. Leonard W. Lewis was an old practitioner of Medicine in this city, and was well known and liked by a host of people. Being a clubman, a soldier in the old 8th Regiment. He was a good scholar and possessed a brilliant intellect. Dr. A. L. Smith came to Chicago from Oberlin, Ohio. He practiced medicine in this city for many years, becoming a county physician of Cook County. He was a congenial fellow, liked by every one who knew him, and respected for his gentlemanly qualities. He always took a leading part in the club work and the profession of medicine. Dr. Edward E. Brown was a graduate of Harvard Medical College. He had a brilliant mind, and was ambitious, but disease laid heavy hands upon him before he got a good start in his profession. Dr. E. Mackey was a good doctor and took quite an interest in his studies. Lee had a large practice and enjoyed the esteem of a host of friends. We have very pleasant recollections of the doctor as he was a jovial fellow; Asa. D. C. Barnes, D. D. S., was a very active dentist, had a good practice, and made his mark in his chosen field. He was studious, and loved to meet his fellow dentists and arouse in them the idea of performing first class work. He had a wide acquaintance, and enjoyed the respect of every one who knew him. Theodore C. Mozee, D. D. S., was one of the younger men in the profession of dentistry who had a great vision. He was intensely in earnest and arrayed himself with the good fellowship of Chicago's leading men. He studied hard to improve himself in the science of dentistry, and had he-lived no doubt have become a great force in the life of Chicago. The Kasmir Chemical Co. did not originate with him but he put the organization into being. In the articles "The Broad Ax Hall of Fame" the writer has already given much consideration to quite a number of very prominent men who for the sake of brevity he need only to mention. Among these are: Hon. J. W. E. Thomas, Ex-Co. Commissioner; Robert M. Mitchell, Atty. at Law; Hon. Besuregard F. Mosely, Atty. at Law; Hon. Samuel A. McEllenee, Atty. at Law; John G. Jones, Atty.; Lloyd G. Wheeler, St. Atty.; J. W. Brown, Atty.; Leroy C. Taylor, John Hockley Sunley, editor; J. H. Wilkins, editor; James Edgar French, editor and poet; Frank J. Hurt, famous pediatrist; Samuel Howard, violinist; Fred Burh, organist; Alex Armant, band master; Wm. Berry, band master; Alexander Stephens, business man and caterer; David Knighten, politician; Edward Bonds, chef on the pioneer limited; Jackson Gordon, politician; George W. McKinley, real estate; Father Thompson, prelate; Father Tolton, priest; Rev. J. T. Jenifer, noted minister; Hiram Holland, poet and writer; Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D. Rev, John F. Thomas, Fred Berry, Will Hope, John Ash, Major John C. Buckner, Mr. Charles Smiley, caterer; Mr. Charles Davis, postal. clerk; Dudley Goodwin, postal clerk; C. E. Ferrell, Atty; David Peltier, soldier; H. Gon. W. Ellis, member Corporation Counsel Chicago; Emmanuel Jackson, undertaker; Frank King, undertaker; Ollie Green, undertaker; Frank Hamilton, ex-president Appomattox Club; the Warden Organizer of Colored Elks; George Montague, agent of the Freemason; James (Daddy) Love, barber; H. S. Anderson, Treasurer Appomattox Club; Earl Bonds, J. W. Johnson, actor; J. Ed. Green, actor; Jas. N. Buckner, lodge man; Jeff Swan, Rev. Jordan Chavis, Mr. W. E. Hightower, Dan Scott and Andrew Scott. Some of Chicago's famous club men who had the business ability to distinguish themselves in their particular line, all of them accumulated wealth and left the impression in the hearts and minds of the race to get the money. Mr. John W. (Mushmouth) Johnson, Mr. John W. (Pony) Moore, Mr. George W. Woods, Mr. William Beasley, Mr. Robert T. Motts, George W. Snowden and Thomas McCain. Here also are the names of several of Chicago's leading women who did their part for the race: Mrs. Johnson, mother of Mrs. Dorn Binga; Mrs. John G. Jones, another old settler; Mrs. Elijah Johnson, Mrs. Peyton, prominent Baptist, mother of David Peyton, the musician; Mrs. Me Kissack, mother of Dr. McKissack eminent surgeon; Mrs. Alexis, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, Mrs. Knighten, Mrs. C. E. Ferrell, Mrs. Mary Death ridge and Mrs. Hattie Mottle King These are by no means all of the most noted of our dead friends who sleep out there in the cemetery, but the larger majority of them comprise a portion of Chicago's best citizens who while they lived won the respect of the public of both races. Some achieved distinction that was world wide. Father Tolton, the first American Negro priest. All of us remember Frank J Hart who won the world's championship as pedestrian. There are others who in a smaller sense attracted the sober gaze of the multitude. Many of these no doubt had they lived would have accumulated fortunes or made their mark one way or another. Some were hopeful of long life but Great Nature decreed otherwise. Mueh they might have done would have been a great blessing to the race, but they are gone on, merely before us. Just over the hill in the abbreviation of a short spell and we too will have to pay the debt that they have paid. While we pause a moment to think reverently of the dead, we might there from get the idea that it is good to think well of the living. Most of them set before us good examples and enshrined their names in our sweetest memories. Certainly they represented the first ripe fruit of Negro civilization. Many of them made history that will be written in after years. We are too near to the scene of the splendor that made them beloved. The glamor of those bright days are bright in our minds. Many of the men whom we honor were members of the Tourgee Club an organization that entertained the lamented Frederick Danglass, Dr. J. C. Price, Hon. John Mereer Langston, B. K. Bruce and a host of other great men new departed to the other world. Say what you will the friends we mourn today were startling evidences that we belong to a great race, and seeing what they accomplished in the face of obstacles, we who enjoy yet the blessings of life may feel hopeful, and take heart having faith in the future dealing kindly with us as it has with them. We could not very well complete this memorial article without expressing the loss our race sustains in the death of Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, Dr. George Bernard Foster, Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. These do not include the list of all our white friends who have died within the last half dozen years, but they do stand out boldly above the rest because they were real Christians at heart, having no prejudices against color, or race. They wanted to be true to themselves because they loved truth. They had the gift from God which is eternal life. Few there are who attain this high and enailed station among the saints. They held up the inetrue of human rights, human brotherhood, and equal rights among all of man- HON. JOHN E. TREAGER Vice-President of the Stock who is in line for the nomination in 1922. Vice-President of the Stockmen's Trust & Savings Bank who is in line for the nomination for Treasurer of Cook County in 1922. They had the courage of their convictions, and did not hesitate to meet the gauge of battle on any occasion whenever the rights of our people were held in the balance. For us they protested. For our cause risked the horror of ostracism among white people, and brought many a hardened sinner to see the light of truth on many questions appertaining to our race welfare battle field of any war is martyr and a super-patriot. They fought for the country, a part of which would hang them in their uniforms merely for asserting the rights they were willing to die for. But this is not the time to blame. Rather we would drop a tear for our great loss, for they were soliders to bring peace to marking. They made history, more than For all such we mourn their death and will in all the future years have that joyful recollection of their nobility, their sense of righteousness, and claim them as champions of our cause who laid the best they had to give (their lives) on the sea after alter of human equality, and race brotherhood. God being the Father of all. From these we may form some conception of the power of a race of public, men, and women who could reconcile homely virtue with high spirit. simple living with accomplished culture, pure thought with copious imagery who knew how to wield ridicule without inflicting a wound, and how to effect great good with little pleasantries of good hearts, and the little thoughts of great minds. Our Soldiers Who Died for the Cause of Democracy. We are not in possession of the names of the soldiers contributed by Chicago to the late World War who died on the battle fields in France or in the cantonments while in the military service of their country. We do know that a great many of our boys went to France and did not return alive. To such that gave their lives for the democracy of the world it is not saying enough in praise of them to pour out the sorrow of our souls. Every Negro who has died upon the [Name] 107 HON.

They fought for the country, a part of which would hang them in their uniforms merely for as- serting the rights they were willing to die for. But this is not the time to blame. Rather we would drop a tear for our great loss, for they were sol- diers to bring peace to mankind. They made history, more than their conduct in arms reflects credit upon the entire race. They gave to history's page a new interpretation to valor, and to bravery a new definition. We miss them from the busy walks of life among us, in the church, at the lodge and clubs, and the vacant chair around our firesides, we will always remember them and treasure their names among our dearest comrades, and regard their daring spirits as a rich heritage bequeathed to the entire race. Some day the poets among us will sing of their splendor, and imbued with inspiration will give soulful touches to the richest truths commemorating their deeds. Today we mourn their passing and resign our heart to their sad fate. In their deaths immortality is enshrined, and patriotism honored as never before. They gave their young lives to their may rest in the hearts of all our people, who will think it not enough to pay them tribute. Monuments. Their Significance. As a race we do not rear monumental and obelisks to our evil dead. There are numerous reasons why we do not, and manifestly it is not a lack of reverence or need of a grateful spirit.
