The Broad Ax

Echoes and Re-Echoes of the Late Non-Partisan Judicial Election Many Thousands of Colored People, Residing in All Parts of This City and Cook County, Broke Away from Their Colored Political Iron Masters, Asserted Their Political Independence and Voted Against the Thompson Judicial Ticket ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 5TH, MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON HELD A BIG MEETING AT THE EIGHTH REGIMENT ARMORY AND HON. EDWARD H. WRIGHT AND THE OTHER FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BIG FIVE ASSURED MAYOR THOMPSON THAT THEY WOULD CARRY THE SECOND WARD FOR HIM BY EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY THOUSAND MAJORITY; BUT THEY CARRIED IT BY LESS THAN TWELVE THOUSAND, WITH MAJORITIES RANGING FROM EIGHT TO NINE THOUSAND AS AGAINST OVER THREE THOUSAND VOTES FOR THE HIGHEST CANDIDATE ON THE NON-PARTISAN TICKET. THE THIRD WARD WITH ITS LARGE COLORED VOTE; THE THIRTIETH; THE THIRTY-FIRST AND THE FOURTEENTH WARDS ALL REPUDIATED THEIR COLORED POLITICAL MASTERS AND HIT OUT AT COL. WM. A. BITHER, DOC WILLIAM H. REID AND COL. ALEXANDER A. TODD, COMMITTEE-MEN, RESPECTFULLY OF THE THIRD, THIRTY-FIRST AND FOURTEENTH WARDS. THE COALITION FORCES MAY CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER AND NOMINATE AND ELECT THE SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES IN JUNE, 1922, AND THE CANDIDATES FOR THE VARIOUS COUNTY OFFICES IN THE FALL OF 1922, AND THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO IN 1923. THE BROAD AX CUT A WIDE SWATH IN THIS CITY IN THE JUDICIAL CONTEST AND OUT OF IT, FOR THREE HUNDRED COPIES OF JUNE 4 WAS SENT TO JUSTICE FLOYD E. THOMPSON, OF THE SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS AT ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS, AND HE WAS RE-ELECTED TO THE SUPREME COURT BENCH BY MORE THAN TWELVE THOUSAND MAJORITY. The Tuesday morning after the late nonpartisan judicial election in this city and county the five big colored political leaders or the iron masters of the one hundred and fifty thousand colored people residing in this city felt as though they had been kicked on the tops of their heads by some vicious mules, for they all felt cocksure all day on Monday, June 6, and prior to the judicial election that there was nothing to it but the shouting. They, the big five colored political bosses, endeavored to bulldoze and frighten the colored people away from the nonpartisan judicial candidates by branding the colored people as Democrats if they failed or refused to vote for all the Thompson judicial ticket, but thousands of colored men and women had the moral courage to stand up and look their white and colored political iron masters or bosses right in their eyes and plainly inform them that slavery came to an end in this country almost sixty years ago and that they intended to vote to suit themselves; that they were not abject and cringing slaves, that no man nor no set of men, white or black, could dictate to them how or for whom they must vote. Firmly did thousands of the colored people adhere to their position in that respect as it was plainly indicated after the judicial election. On the Sunday afternoon prior to the judicial election Mayor William Hale Thompson and his colored political bosses in the Second Ward held a big meeting at the Eighth Regiment Armory and Hon. Edward H. Wright, Republican committeeman of that ward. Hon. Oscar DePriest and the other big colored honorables assured Mayor Thompson that they told the votes of all the colored people around in their hip pockets, or words to the same effect, and that on Monday, June 6, that the Thompson judicial ticket would receive between eighteen and twenty thousand ma MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED WHITE AND COLORED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE KILLED IN THE BLOODY OR HORRIBLE RACE RIOTS AT TULSA, OKLA. Investigator for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Returns from Oklahoma to New York Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has returned after a personal investigation of the recent race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, saying that between 150 and 200 Negroes were killed in the riots and at least 50 white persons. Mr. White declared that the riot was largely due to a misuse of the word "attack" and "assault," the impression being given that a colored man had attempted rape upon a white girl, whereas he had merely stumbled in an elevator and in attempting to recover his balance stepped upon her foot. THE BROAD AX jority in the Second ward; but on the following day thousands of colored people faded away and about eight or nine thousand of them residing in the Second Ward absolutely refused to rally to the support of Hon. Edward H. Wright, Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Hon. Oscar DePriest, Hon. Robert R. Jackson and Hon. James A. Scott and Mayor William Hale Thompson, and instead of carrying the Second Ward by twenty thousand majority, the highest candidate on the Thompson judicial ticket received a fraction over eleven thousand votes and the leading candidate on the non-partisan ticket received more than three thousand votes, whereas it was contended right along by the colored political bosses in that ward that the non-partisan judicial candidates would not receive over four or five hundred votes. Now those same wise political prophets claim that there are more than three thousand white voters residing in the Second Ward and that all the whites voted for the Democratic judicial candidates and that all the colored people either voted the Thompson Republican judi cial ticket straight or remained at home. Many colored men and women absolutely refused to vote to further uphold the arms of Mayor Thompson for the sole reason that he has permitted Hon. Edward H. Wright to pull in thirty thousand dollars in less than one year as of the lawyers of the traction commission, and Hon. Oscar DePriest to take in ten thousand dollars per year in dead easy money as one of the city real estate experts, while on the other hand thousands of colored people are out of work and many of them are on the verge of starvation and hundreds of them are forced to work very hard early and late in order to earn enough money to pay the extra heavy taxes which has been imposed on their homes which they are endeavoring to pay for, for the thrifty and thoughtful colored people are beginning to learn that every time that a heavy raid is made on the public "Having been sworn in as a deputy sheriff and having been on patrol as such during the Tulsa riot," said Mr. White, "I am able to state that the Tulsa riot in sheer brutality and wilful destruction of life and property stands without a parallel in America. "Abuse and misuse of the word 'assault' caused the entire conflagration. A white girl operating an elevator in a public building, declared that a colored boy had attempted to assault her. Without stopping to inquire, and without considering the utter impossibility of criminal assault being perpetrated in broad daylight in the public elevator of a public building, on a principal street of a town of 100,000, a senseless mob set out to 'avenge the honor of white womanhood.' "As a result, between 200 and 250 white and colored citizens are known to have been killed, an unknown number of colored men and women and children were burned alive, 44 square blocks of business and residential property valued at a million and one-half dollars were destroyed, and everlasting damage done to the CHICAGO, ILL., SATURUDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 funds by the city officials that someone has got to pay for it and as the big millionaires will not pay their share of the extra expense in conducting the affairs of the city and that was one reason why so many colored people turned their backs on Mayor Thompson and his two million dollar real estate experts. The colored people revolted in the Third ward against the leadership of Col. William A. Bither, whom many of them hate with all of their being and the colored voters in that strong Republican ward transferred it over into the non-partisan column. The same thing was done in the Thirtieth ward, for the colored people in that ward in the past had worshiped Mayor Thompson like unto a god, but on Monday, June 6, hundreds of them residing in that ward turned his judicial candidates down cold. In the Thirty-first ward the colored people were just waiting in order to get a whack at Little Judge Anton T. Zeman and at William H. Reid, who was foolish enough to believe that he would be elected secretary of state in 1920, and from now on the bread and butter brigade will be forced to fight mighty hard to swing the Thirty-first ward back into the Thompson column. Col. Alexander A. Todd, who is always as cold as an iceberg is the head boss of the colored people living in the Fourteenth ward and under his iron rule the colored voters refused to be bossed by him and they marched to the polls on Monday, June 6, and greatly assisted to slaughter the Thompson judicial ticket in the Fourteenth ward. There are still mighty hot times ahead for the boss politicians in this city and county, for the coalition forces will attempt to hang together in an effort to head Mayor Thompson off at the superior court judges' election in June, 1922, and at the county election in the fall of that same year and at the election for mayor of Chicago in 1923. name of Tulsa and of Oklahoma. "In justice to Tulsa it must be said that a large percentage of the white inhabitants condemned in unmeasured terms the outrage which has been perpetrated. The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, local relief agencies and churches have done commendable work in providing food, clothing and shelter for the destitute victims of the riot. "Tulsa's experience is exceedingly important in that conditions which let to its night of terror exist in many other cities North and South and unless unusual efforts are used the gravest consequences are to be feared. Some of the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to blame the riot on Negro 'radicalism.' When I questioned them regarding the nature of this radicalism I found invariably that it consisted of demands by Negroes that the federal Constitution be enforced and that lynching, peonage, disfranchisement and Jim Crowism be abolished. "There will be a state investigation of the riot but in the opinion of the citizens of Tulsa it will amount to nothing. The Tulsa riot has con- HON. THOMAS H.

WHAT YOUNG COLLEGE MEN all right, but the more you get of this world's goods the better you can THINK By Dr. M. A. Majors The race has begun to think about money and its uses. We used to think more about education because that was the one thing to reduce our inequality, but having gotten along fairly in education, we are turning our thoughts to money and what it does for any people. Of the man or woman who is in easy circumstances we speak volubly. We have a dignified respect for them and we are proud when we hear their names called because they are ours. Can't you see, reader, that we are going some? The old Uncle Tom idea of forty acres and a mule is being supplanted by the young men of the race just out of college, and they have their minds turned in the direction of wealth. What does this mean? It means that soon we will be looking to the race for everything in the business and professional life that we need. The old notion of inferiority racket about differences in color is nearly dead, and the sooner it is dead the better it will be for all Negroes. What is your line of business? is becoming quite pertinent and uppermost. People are not asking how much religion has he got? They want to know if he stands for anything, and what are his objects in life, and how much he is worth. What does he manufacture? Does he carry insurance? Does he deposit his money in a colored bank? What Negro business is he identified with? We all know that we are going to die dead as a door nail some day, but they want to have something more than merely a strong hope for Heaven, they want to fasten on to something tangible here and per-adventure leave a comfortable legacy to the wife and the kiddies. It is all very well to sing the songs of Moses and the Lamb, and to learn to become better as we journey through this vale of tears, but if we get busy doing the real useful dignified things while living we will have the ability to dry many tears, and there won't be any waste howling wilderness. Life is all that we make it and it is left wholly in our hands as to what that life shall be. Heaven helps those who help themselves, and there is not a single back door to it for any whinners and beggars. If you want to go in at the front door you had better accept the door that other races are making so much fuss about. Faith and humble prayer may be vinced me that the only hope of averting repetitions of it lies in federal interference." all right, but the more you get of this world's goods the better you can exercise that faith, and all the more reason there is for praying. Being thankful has a meaning to it that very few of us can define. If you have got something to be thankful for besides the hope of a future reward you are in line for a future reward. A good name in a community is not enough. Doing good deeds and helping others to lighten their burdens is a pretty safe game to play, but a man ought to be a taxpayer, a good husband, a valuable citizen, and be onight to be able to write a good size check, too. This is along the line of operatives and activities of the young Negroes that are coming out of the schools. His mind is operating along the safe road to usefulness and to greatness. The Negro has sung enough prayed enough, shouted enough, and given enough, built enough churches, supported enough preachers, paid off enough church debts to save all of us and our unborn children for a thousand years to come. Let us continue in that way, only let us diversify our talents and engage in making some Heaven here where we live just as the other folk. Then will come that joy in our professed hopes a prosperous people only can understand. TENNESSEE WILL PENSION NEGRO CONFEDERATES Nashville, Tenn. — Every Negro who served in any way his master in the Confederate Army is to receive a pension, according to the action of the Tennessee Legislature that closed here recently, when both House and Senate passed the Senate Bill No. 1342 and when this bill received the signature of His Excellency, Governor Alf Taylor. The real text of the bill provides "A Bill to Pension Negro Cooks and Servants." It is estimated that there will be thousands of dollars given to disabled members of the race who saw service with the Gray and who were loyal to their masters throughout their career. The introducing and passing of this bill is regarded in this city as the first forward move throughout the South to give recognition to those loyal members of the Race who stood by their slave owners.

THE AWAKENING OF A SLEEPING GIANT By Dr. M. A. Majors The northland, the east, and the central north are inhabited by the people of every nation, of the habitable globe, and this must indeed furnish incentive for the New Negro who is rapidly taking up residence in the northern and eastern states. The Hon. Marcus Garvey is teaching the race much that is paramount to the successful men and women of the race, and it will not be a great while before we will have in operation many great enterprises. What will be the result of having under operation many great enterprises, regulated, manipulated, and managed by the Negro? It is almost beyond our grasp, and our imagination almost runs wild when we undertake to revel in such a belief of our possibilities. We have a host of young people educated, but hitherto we have had no places for them. Large stores and a few small factories will take hundreds of them off of the streets and put them to work at pleasant occupations. We cannot all be singers and musicians, artists, politicians, hotel waiters, porters, carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, school teachers, lawyers, doctors, preachers, neither are we all constituted to do drudgery. We have got to first learn, however, the easy grace and pleasant disposition in giving service that belong in the work of clerking and paying a respectful attention in matters of kindness to men and women of our own race who hold superior positions to ours. This lesson well learned, half of our race battles are over. Our most difficult situations are in our own race, and when we have overcome ourselves, by learning these important lessons we will have given our adversaries the lie, and then we will be crowned with success. This exposition, and employment of our intellectual armament will without any doubt mean to the preacher a better church, to the lawyer and doctor a better class of patrons, the real estate agents better tenants, the Negro banker larger deposits of real money, and so on until it reaches every individual among us. For whatever helps any particular business or profession will also help the whole race fabric in a greater or less degree. We have been alive to this fact, but it has been very difficult for us to get started. There are several reasons why it has been hard. All of our secret organizations are in a flourishing condition. All or most of our churches are large and very fine. We have been building our little homes over our heads, and we have not learned to do a great many things at the same time; now we will begin to do our most important things at this late date, and profit by our school of experience in which we have been getting ready to do these worth while things which are to afford amplitude for the investment of our money, and out of which we are to realize at the same time a moderate degree of compensation, both in giving jobs and making profits. The Progressive Company follows our two substantial banks, and along with the Liberty Life Insurance Co. occupies the investment spirit of the race. Soon ground will be broken for the largest department store in all America. This company will outrank by far our largest undertaking in the Northern states. A six story department store with seventy-five feet front, and one hundred and [Name] HON. JOHN E.

Milliners, dressmakers, tailors, stenographers, stock girls, clerks, floor walkers and purchasing agents; these will all come into their own, because we are laying out our money to supply this long neglected need in our race life. But gee, won't we all feel proud when we get these good things going? If you are not in the Progressive Company hurry up and get in. NEGRO WORKERS IN EARLY CATHOLIC CHURCH OF AFRICA DO YOU KNOW—That Melchor, black king of Lybia, in Africa, was one of the three wise men, who visited the infant Jesus at his birth? That Simon, a Negro, helped Jesus to bear the cross? That Simon, a holy teacher and priest in the Church at Antioch, ordained the Apostle St. Paul and sent him on his missionary journey? That three of the very first Popes of Rome were Africans? That an African Council gathered the writings of the Apostles and Fathers of the Church. THE FOLLOWING ENTERTAIN MENT IS FOR A MOST LAUDABLE CAUSE Mrs. Little G. Buckner Is Working Very Hard for Its Success Since the whole country is discussing the pitiful condition of the wounded and disabled veterans of the World War, it is to be expected that the many soldiers of our group are no less sufferers. And while many are deeply concerned and would like to help alleviate their sufferings, we are in a busy world and there are many calls for assistance. Mrs. Littie G. Buckner, a volunteer worker of the Red Cross, appointed by Dr. R. H. Heterick, Commanding Officer at the Drexel Hospital, to look after the interests and needs of the colored soldiers distributed among the different hospitals of the Chicago district, has made a personal investigation and found 150 of our soldiers in dire need. These are inmates and out patients of the following hospitals, comprising Chicago Division: Oak Forest, Drexel Hospital Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Waukesha, Wisconsin, Great Lakes Training Camp, Marine Hospital, Dwight and Danville, Illinois. To relieve this situation and give the community at large an opportunity to assist in this much needed work, Mrs. Bucker has arranged for a monster benefit for Friday evening, July 1st, at the Pilgrim Baptist Church, 33rd Boulevard and Indiana Avenue. The use of this church with a seating capacity of 2,500 has been donated free of charge for the occasion by the pastor, Rev. S. E. Watson, and trustees. Chicago's best musical and dramatic talent have generously responded to the appeal for assistance and Miss Estella C. Bonds, who is arranging the program, has been assured a program worthy of much more than the admission price of 50 cents. Others assisting on the committee are Mr. George T. Kersey and David M. Manson. PLEADS TO SAVE REDDING AND M'GAVICK FROM NOOSE. SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—"Men who kill on a moment's impulse in the heat of passion should not be hanged but imprisoned: death penalty should be reserved for criminals or men who kill after premeditation." This argument was advanced to the board of pardons and paroles by F. L. Barnett, attorney for Rev. Oscar McGavick and Grover C. Redding under sentence to hang for their part in the Chicago riots in June, 1920. Attorney Barnett asks for a commutation to life imprisonment. He claims that the men lost their heads in a moment of passion. NEGRO WORKERS IN EARLY CATHOLIC CHURCH OF AFRICA THE BISHOP'S COUNCIL WILL CONVENE AT QUINN CHAPEL TWENTY-FOURTH ST. AND WABASH AVE., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22. None of the A. M. E. preachers in this city are working any harder than Rev. James M. Henderson, the able and eloquent pastor of Institutional church, to make the sessions of the Bishop's Council a grand success in every way. The sessions open up Wednesday morning, June 22, at Quinn Chapel, the mother church, and Rev. Henderson and his associate pastors will be on hand bright and early that morning to extend the right hand of fellowship to the bishops and the other high dignitaries of the A. M. E. church. See the complete program for the week in another column of this paper. PASTORS CAN'T TELL WOMEN HOW TO DRESS, HE SAYS. LOS ANGELES—"There is not one woman in a million who would consent to wear any dress modeled by a bunch of preachers," said the Rev. Dr. J. Whitcomb Broughner of the fashionable Temple Baptist church here. "Consequently, it will be best preachers look after their sermons and let the women model their own shirtwaists and skirts. I believe, however, women are more immodest than men. Their skirts are cut so high it would take mud knee deep before the bottom of the dress would be reached." THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURUDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 CHARLESE E. STUMP, TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, STRIKES FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY, ON HIS WAY TO THE SOUTHLAND. Frankfort, Ky.—"United we stand, divided we fall." I am informed that this is the motto of Kentucky, and through the united effort of my people in Kentucky, the devil's home was knocked out of segregation for the whole United States, and if it had not been for that we would have been having a heluva time right now. They were directed by the hands of God to the Supreme Court of the United States, from whose decision there is no appeal except to arms, and that body spoke out and all of this country heard it. I never realized just what it meant to put us off in one section of the city until that Tulsa affair, and I shudder to even think about it. Now there was a strict segregation, and believe me they burned our homes, destroyed lives, put every black man out of business with the torch, and all the homes of the white people were saved. You see we were off yonder where our homes could burn and none to say stop, and all the others saved. If I were not such a good Christian I would drop in a few cuss words right now. But I will leave it all in the hands of our Father who art in Heaven. When I wrote you last I was in Muskogee, Oklahoma, but you will find me far from there now. I was there to witness the graduation of some of our leading young people. Forty-nine graduated from the industrial high school of that city under Prof. T. W. Grissom. These young people were met with the killing of human beings, with the burning of homes and destroying of property. This was taking place just a few yards from them, so to speak, and there were refugees right in the audience, and the leading ministers were together appealing for help. They were taking money to help those who were flocking into the city homeless and clothless. They were meeting with success. I am glad that I was there and heard the address delivered by one, Charles Stewart, and believe me honey, he spoke right out in church. I am delighted to see how the faces of the young people were bright, and how they seemingly took in every word the speaker had to say, and rejoiced with him in the salvations of their own souls. I heard it all, and I enjoyed it all. Now I am away from there, and must have a few things to say to you this week. After the address, I loaded myself early Saturday morning headed for Kansas City, Kansas, in company with the Rev. Dr. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Muskogee. To me it was a source of pleasure to have been with this great educator, and this great preacher. All day long I rode to the city, reaching there about 6 o'clock in the evening, and found that the Rev. Dr. J. F. Griffin, pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, of Kansas City, Kansas, had sent his automobile carriage over to meet me and escort me to his home. I was invited to be the guest of the pastor and his wife and church during my stay in Kansas City. It was just like going to the home of a real brother, and believe me honey when I tell you he is some man. He is doing a great work in Kansas City, Mo., and he is a great big preacher. Dr. Griffin does not make much fuss about it, but he is just going into the hearts of the people of his church, and in a short time they are going to rise up and place him anywhere he wants to go. I think this is the best way to win promotion after all. It is better than going around from meeting to meeting, from conference to conference asking men to vote for you. You do the work and the place will find you. It will knock at your door and you will only have to say "come in." I had the pleasure of meeting the congregation Sunday morning, and I am sure you will agree with me if you had been there that it was a great congregation. Saturday night, in addition to going to the parsonage, I had the pleasure of going to the home of Rev. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyle, Kansas City, Mo. He was some pumpkins down in Arkansas, and he is some pumpkins now up in Missouri, and is doing a great work as presiding elder. He was holding a meeting in the city, raising money for some of our people down in Tulsa, and his wife was at home, looking after the affairs there. She is a busy little woman. Sunday evening, I went to Kansas City, Mo., got me a bed car on the Rock Island, and beat it to Chicago. I find pleasure in going to Chicago, and you will perhaps be interested to know that I am improving, and hope to soon be myself. Dr. G. C. Hall furnished me with some medicine, that put the pains to rest for a while, and it threatens to destroy all pains and bugs. He is some doctor and I have a few things that I am going to tell you about him soon. He is fixing to tell a story to the whole world. He has done this with the knife, and now he is going to do some other brain work that will put the world to thinking. I was the guest of Mrs. Elvie L Stewart, during my visit in Chicago, and had the pleasure of going to the meeting of the chapters, and which an address was delivered by the Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. F. P. Monroe, of Quincy, Ill. She is the woman that is doing things about the state, among the women. She made a plain practical address. I listened to all these, and left for Indianapolis, bright and early Tuesday morning, then to Louisville and Frankfort, Ky., and at this place I have attended two school closings, called "Commencements." I do not know why they are called by that name for that seemed to be the ending of school life for the young people. Perhaps it means good bye school and good morning world. I do not know and will not attempt to explain at this time. Just a word about the Clinton Street High School of Frankfort. This is where Charles Stewart attended school. I am not prepared to say whether or not he graduated from it, for from what I could learn he was one of the first in the school, and is what I would call a charter member of it, and they were not dishing out graduation then. At any rate Prof. William H. Mayo, came along then, about 40 years ago, and he was the teacher of this fellow. Several hundred graduates have been turned out, and all these years Prof. Mayo has been the principal. He has lived in the hearts of the people, and he has year after year raised the standard of the school. Reaching the city, I was escorted to the home of Miss Martha E. Williams, one of the teachers of the school, and a woman who has devoted her life to the racial uplift work and is today one of the greatest women in this race. Her greatness is in service. She has a lovely home, two stories, and then she has plenty of other property in the city, and some in Georgetown, I am told. But never mind that, Miss Williams is superintendent of a Sunday school, First Baptist Church, Frankfort, and is president of a large Sunday school convention and has been for years. She has gone into the hearts of the Sunday school workers, until they they have notified her that she must serve as president until God says to her "Come up higher." She is kind and good to all people, and knows how to treat the hayseeds as well as those refined cultured college people. You don't have to put on around her. Her home is a palace. It was a pleasure to be around Frankfort, and meet some of the people. Thursday night, I was at this commencement business. They had only six graduates, Robert Kenneth Jones, Mary Emma Tracey, Callie Louise Harvey, Viola Sulli van Anderson, Othello Rosson Gaines, Mae Ella Perry, and Willye Myra Graham, from domestic science. These young people spoke, and then the address was delivered by Charles Stewart, who was indeed pathetic in bidding good bye to Prof. Mayo, whose physical condition forces him out of the school. Prof. Mayo accepted the position of principal of the high school when a youth fresh from the Cincinnati high school. He took hold with a determination to do things. He entered the work in January, 1882, and has been at it ever since without a break. He has served well. But he has reached the place where he must stack arms. He must rest. His best days have been given to Frankfort, and now the question arises what will Frankfort do for him? He has lived a clean life. He has been an example for his boys and girls. He has been active in everything that meant for the betterment of Frankfort or his people. He has been the servant of all. Prof. Mayo has a son in Chicago druggist, and his daughter, a brilliant young woman, has charge of the department of domestic science in the same school. He came to Frankfort unmarried, but has married, given to the world two persons, son and daughter, and the Lord has taken his wife unto Him, and he is now ready any time to join her. I wish you could have heard the white people praising this wonderful character. He was given a fine letter by his board, also resolutions, a lifetime certificate by the State Board of Education, and the people of Frankfort are now planning a testimonial for him, when expressions will come from the citizens. Everything is now ready for Topeka supreme lodge, and other big meetings. The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will be in session next week in Kansas City, Mo., and by the help of God I want to be there. I am informed that Editor W. W. Porter will be there. CHARLES E. STUMP. [Image of a man in a suit and tie, facing slightly to the right.] HON. S. B. TURNER Member of the Legislature of Illinois, from the First Senatorial District, Who Has Secured the Passage of a Resolution Condemning the Invasion of the Ku Klux Klan Into This State. HCUSE SCORES IN KU KLUX KLAN. Organization of the Ku Klux Klan in Illinois is discouraged in a resolution adopted in the house of representatives last week. The resolution was offered by State Representative S. B. Turner, colored, of Chicago. The resolution, which calls upon the people of the state to discourage the operation of the organization in Illinois, follows: "Whereas, it is reported that there are representatives of the Ku Klux Klan attempting to organize chapters or posts of that organization in various cities of the state of Illinois; and "Whereas, it is believed that the Ku Klux Klan is an organization which operates in defiance of law and order and against the best interests and welfare of the people at large; now, therefore, be it "Resolved by the house of representatives of the state of Illinois that we condemn and deplore the attempt to organize posts of the Ku Klux Klan in the state of Illinois and urge all good citizens of the state in the interest of law and order and the welfare of our state to do everything in their power to face its foremost leaders to refrain from attempting to stir up racial strife within the confines of Illinois.

All seemed to enjoy the services of that hour—"C." THE BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH DAMAGED BY FIRE AND WATER. Last Friday evening, not long after the choir had finished practicing, flames were discovered shooting forth from the east end of the new Berean Baptist church, Fifty-second and Dearborn streets, and the new organ which was recently installed at great expense, the new memorial window, the new carpets and all of the other new interior furnishings were greatly damaged by fire and water. As luck would be, most everything destroyed was covered with insurance. Many of the women members, who had worked so hard to help to furnish the church, were present and shed many tears when they beheld that their work had been in vain. It is hard to tell just how the fire started, and its pastor, Rev. W. S. Bradshaw, with a heart full of courage and hope, will have all the damage immediately repaired and go right ahead with his work for his Baptist Lord and Master. RECENT VISITORS IN CITY. Miss Johnella Marie Frazer and Miss Felicia D. Anderson were visiting in the city for several days. While in the city Miss Frazer visited her parents, and Miss Anderson was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, 522 Bryant Ave. They were shown the city by M. T.

That the Masonic Fraternity is de- termined not to stagnate through satisfaction with merely being housed, was told to the community on last Sunday, June 12th, when, unmindful of a blistering sun that drove the mercury up to 90 degrees, plumed knights and turbaned sheiks. to- gether with the rank and file of the lower houses, turned out en masse for the site dedicatory ceremonies in recognition of a new Temple soon to be erected at southeast 36th and South State streets. Upon a fiag-draped speakers’ stand, to the right of which was displayed a photogravure of the projected edi- fice, were assembled many notables of the Order and the ceremonies were directed by Mr. Thomas H. Samuels, M.W.G.M., of the State of Mlinois and jurisdiction. Three brass bands rivaled each other in bursting martial music and the impressive ceremonies took on a patriotic atmosphere dur- ing the playing of the national an- thems, while, to lend a holiday fea- ture to the occasion the ladies rep- resenting various auxiliaries and chapters of the Order contributed to the comfort of the general assem- bly by dispensing soda. ice cream cones, ete.

This type of garment agrees in simplicity with the slim, boyish figure which still prevails in “the vogue of youthful ess.” Occasionally these plain hems, or casings, are edged with strips of fiat Insertion, whiqy does not detract from the “correctness” of the garment's character, yet makes it piquantly feminine. Through the plain casings are usually run delicate ribbons of Soft pastel shades, and a novel note echoes the color of the ribboo Im pip- ings around hems and along seams. Peach, apricot. rose, French blue, lavender and golden yellow are the colors that enliven the pale fabries from which lingerie is developed. Lace te Stylish.

POPELABULE IN MANY SHADES Woolen Goods Well Liked for Suits and Lightweight Coats—Hand Embroidery Is in the Limelight. The making of women's clothes constitutes the third largest industry in the world. The uninitiated may speak lightly of fashion, but nevertheless, writes a fashion authority, it is a bigger and more important subject, wielding a more widespread influence than most people realize. One of the strongest branches of fashion's tree is fabrics. For a long time this was only a slender twig. Then it suddenly began to grow and in a very short period of time convert its development into amazing proportions. Designers now delight to invish their best efforts on textiles, for here their art finds unlimited scope. Woolens, silks or cottonts—any one taken separately is no small subject today. Rodier, the great French maker of fabrics, is one whose genius apparently never flags. During the months directly following the recent war, when the difficulty of getting raw materials and workers was almost insurmountable his work continued. Weavers of cloth worked out of doors in France amid the ruins of their factories, and the things that they produced were little short of marvelous. One might have expected the merchandise turned out under such conditions to be plain and uninteresting. On the contrary, the charm of color and the originality of pattern were very great. Rodier's new spring and summer materials, which are more beautiful than any he has hitherto made, although his fabrics always have stood for the unusual in both pattern and weave, are being invisibly employed in the models brought out by the greatest French dress-makers. Popelabule Much Like Poplin. An interesting new woolen well liked for suits and lightweight coats is called popelabule. In weave it is very like old-fashioned poplin, the only difference being that it is softer. It might be said to combine the characteristics of flannel and poplin. Bernard and Beer, two French makers famous for their suits and coats, are making extensive use of this. Popelabule comes in 17 shades. There are wonderful reds, soft, dull greens and enough browns and tans to please all tastes. Among the lighter shades there is a greenish blue and 1 Coat Dress of Popelabule in Beige Trimmed With Blue and Yellow Striped Foulard. a mauve tint, each beautiful. Other lightweight woolens are in rust browns beautifully embroidered in leaves, twigs and pine needles. In spite of all the wonderful shades the preference is given to beige, not only in popelabule but in every other material. Throughout the entire collection of new cloths and silks by Rodier this shade predominates. There are many variations of it from the palest tints to darker hues almost brown. Cloths of other colors frequently have relief embroidery in beige tone. The creamy Kasha cloth that Lanvin exploited so freely last season is retained, but now it, too, serves as a background for raised embroidery often in Moravian reds traced with black. Patterns in Plaids. For the heavier wraps such as traveling and motor coats and for country suits the plaids having part of the pattern blotted out by embroidery are smart. The idea of suppressing part High Explosive. Trinitrotoluene, a product of toluene, is derived from coal tar and composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. It is considered one of the most powerful of the high explosives and is used for purposes for which dynamite and nitroglucerin are not adapted. The latter is the most powerful explosive of its kind. of the design with needlework is not a new one. Cheruit did it last season with hand embroidery. The bodice portion of a simple coat-dress of beige popelabule trimmed with a printed foulard, blue striped with yellow, shows the back panel cut in one with the right side front and the deep sash girdle, the ends of the latter and the reverse being lined with the foulard. It fastens low on the left side in surplice fashion with three galilah buttons the same shade as the material. The long sleeves are of the same cut as those in a man's coat, a new and interesting note. One of Bernard's new coat-mantles of Rodler's popelabule in a yellowish beige embroidered in dark blue has the embroidery appearing down the sides of the coat, on the roll collar and forming a deep border for the bell-shaped sleeves. The panel-like front and loose-fitting back are left entirely plain. Just below the deep and exaggerated armhole are loop 1 Bernard Coat-Mantle of Popelabule Featuring Beige Embroidery in Dark Blue. panels set onto the body of the cont. giving the appearance of being cut in one with the sides. These pieces are heavily embroidered inside and out, carrying out the embroidered design, which extends from the shoulders to the bottom of the garment. Woolen Novelties for Springtime. Embroidered serges are among the wooden novelties brought out by Rodier for spring. Dark, navy blue or black is embroidered in Roman stripe effect, also with borders or bars cover the entire width. For the embroidery, strongly contrasting shades, such as jade green, yellow, black, cerise, rose, violet and black red, are selected. A novelty woolen for sport clothes is called d'jersa Bullaine. The pattern resembles the surface of a waffle iron, with its alternating one-quarter-inch squares or crinkled and plain material. It may be bad in all the bright shades of the modern sport costume as well as dark colors. Satints and chiffons are embroidered in relief after the same manner as the woolens. An afternoon dress of black satin and black chiffon is embroidered in red silk. The chiffon forms the deep apron-like tunic which extends to the bottom of the skirt and the lower portion of the bell-shaped sleeves. The bodice and foundation skirt are of the satin, the former being heavily embroidered across the front and under-arm sections, as well as the short upper sleeves. At the back there is a rather broad and loose hanging panel of the black satin which extends from the shoulders to the waistline. Under this panel the deep sash ends pass and knot at the left side back at a medium low waistline. Fantastic Bracelets in Cobra Designs. Satin and chiffon are combined in a frock. The satin is dark blue and the chiffon red embroidered in silver gray. The underslip is of satin and is embroidered down each side with the gold thread in panel-like form, this being the only portion of the slip not veiled by the chiffon. The chiffon skirt is cut with hip yoke and apron panels, front and back, the former divided and embroidered down each side. The bodice across the front is well covered with the gold embroidery, while the slightly blousing back is quite plain, with the exception of the little dot design which also trims the apron tunic. There are as many novelties being brought out in the smaller articles that complete the costume as in the fabrics from which the clothes are made. The women of Paris evince a craze for all sorts of metal girdles. The snake design in belts and bracelets is fashionable among the more extreme novelties. These may be made of greenish gold or, for those who are willing to pay a high price for a novelty which will soon go into oblivion, there are snake belts set with precious stones. Often a large diamond may be suspended from the snake's mouth. All that our dresses and hats have lost in extravagance, jewelry has gained. Dress and jewelry are decidedly at variance. 6087 South State Street Near Stl St Not On the Corner CHICAGO FUNERAL DIRECTORS ERNEST H.
