JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS AT THE MEETING IN THE DRIVE FOR THE FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL, HELD AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL ON MONDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 19. "I am here tonight to offer my views in a cause that should know no race, no creed and bear no cloud of race prejudice. In this meeting and for the sacred purpose you gather, there should be no revival of past differences—political or personal. Everything and everyone should be brought together in one harmony to make success certain and complete in the humane things you are undertaking. "I want you to know that I am conscious of an antagonistic feeling to myself among some of you. I told Editor Taylor, when he called on me to present the invitation for your Committee, that I knew some of your people bore to me an attitude of unkindness, and others one of prejudice. That this was due to the position which I took in the political campaign in my race for Governor. I have no apology to offer for any act or word of mine, done or uttered. I do regret, however, that a mere part of a speech received circulation and a meaning in the minds of many which would never have followed had the whole speech and all that it meant been given to the public. Newspapers are limited in their space and in political matters print only the striking expressions/ They seldom have space to print that which follows or went before, which would have given complete justification of the text of the orator. I truly hope that at some time all those who are interested in my position will find the full utterance, and upon that give whatever judgment their sense of justice would dictate. * * * "Since I have referred to this matter of prejudice, let me say that one of the reasons I am here is to help in an undertaking which I feel will do more to melt away the race prejudice than any other agency that could have been entered up on by you all. Here is the beginning of a structure reared to humanity and christened in religion—a hospital for the sick—the equipping of nurses and the maintenance of them—all that a cooling hand may be laid upon a fevered brow, the distressed body healed, the sad soul comforted, and the helpless and miserable succured and saved. This is the fulfillment of the great mission of the Samaritan. It gives example of that holy mission when the great Master said: "I was sick and ye visited me." nations of the earth and the oppressed peoples of the world. It is now time that we turned about to see the need of our own people and view their misery and to begin our charity at home. Let the rich now know that out of the money they have taken from the people by the privileges of the law, the sum they give back to your cause is merely paying to the people that tribute they owe to the needs of their fellow man and which is due as a contribution of their faith and religion. Let them know that they are welding together a people of humanity and wiping out those prejudices which have done so much to incite disorder and to plant the seeds of hatred. Let them know that they are building for themselves as well as for yourselves, and that in establishing this hospital of relief to the suffering they are raising up a habitation of peace and unity of citizenship, and giving to themselves the security of friendship and harmony. This is their reward on earth, and in the future hours they have the sweet consolation that the great voice that proclaimed in the first century the doctrine of rewards, still whispers to each: "As ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto Me." ATTORNEY CHARLES WEIN FELD BUYS ONE OF THE FINEST HOMES ON THE SOUTH SIDE. Hon. Charles Weinfeld, who is one of the big and most successful lawyers in this section of the country, the past week purchased a modern ten-room residence and garage at 6746 Bennett avenue. It is one of the finest homes on the south side. Mr. and Mrs. Weinfeld will move into their beautiful home October 1st, which cost $60,000. NOBLE AUGUSTUS L.

Cook, preached their annual sermon for them and the following program was rendered: Processional organist, Selection choir, Introduction of Master of Ceremonies by Noble Sandy W.

Lenox Assistant Rabban, Victor Thompson H. P. & Prophet, Fred A Johnson III. Treasurer, Attress Sams Recorder. Committee: Sandy W. Trice, chairman, James H. Walker, Paul G. Wilson, Henry Callaway, Chas Crampon secretary, E. O. South, treasurer. The following eloquent address was delivered by Noble Augustus L. Williams. Mr. Chairman Illustrious Potentate, Chief and Assistant Rabbans, Grand Master of the State of Illinois, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Commandress of the daughters of Isis, daughters, Reverend W. D. Cook and friends; Behold how good and how pleasant it is for bretheren to dwell together in unity! It is with distinguished pleasure that I have been accorded the honor of addressing this Noble Order of the Mystic Shrine on this our annual meeting. I have only been allowed twenty minutes, such a short time for me to talk to you, I have deemed it advisedly to submit my thoughts to writing. No institution of ancient or modern times has done more for the uplifting of the human race, and the upholding of what is known as society, than the Order which we represent. The secret Order of Freemasonry is one of the most inspiring and elevating influences of civilization and its power for good is as limitless as its lessons are far reaching. The search and the longing for merely material things is bound to bring distress and disaster. Recall the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, whose sin caused its own destruction; consider the fate of egotistical Greece; learn the Messias taught by the fate of the Great Alexander. Where would modern civilization be today we are not for the uplifting and enobling influence of the teachings of the Mighty Nazarene? What would the United States, the so called home of the brave, land of the free, the place where you and I and our forefathers have given so much of our effort both in labor and in blood be, had it not been for the band of devoted men, those godly people, of undaunted courage, who braved every danger to found a nation where spirituality and brotherly love should prevail and rule? Second only to the church has been the influence wielded by our Order whose noble precepts and incentives to higher purposes has made it a power for untold good. And many a deed of unsung heroism has been done in the cause of Freemasonry, that its teachings might live 'and its secrecy be undefiled. Equally countless are the good deeds done in its narie done for no prospective reward, nor selfish renumeration. Whatever we have done was inspired by the spirit of traternal helpfulness and love for our fellowmen. Since the foundation of Solomon's Temple, when Freemasonry was founded, to the present day, this great body has kept its original forms and laws. Human thought has not been able to improve upon them, nor adverse criticism to change them, for they hold the fundamental truism of life, and shed from the radiant altar of their holy purpose, the light of divine truth. The world's greatest men have been and are Masons, its most famous warriors; its most gentle scholars. Within the realms of the Order these beings of diverse occupation, of one common mind, have met in the broad communion of brotherly love. Could self-interest, greed, venality, and kindred shortcomings of humanity be eliminated and the watchword of our Order be emblazoned on every heart and in every home, this world would be within the hail of the millennium. For centuries the black man has been, through circumstances and environments, degraded, and oppressed. Generations passed, and until within the memory of living man, knowledge has been denied him. The last few years has seen a change and soon we will take our stand among the rest of mankind, his mental, physical, and social equal. In view of the origin and nature of the institution, its high importance to the world, the sacredness of its principles, its harmonizing influence and the whole excellence of the system, whether it be consideed in a historical, benevolent, moral or religious point, your minds must be Continued on Page 2. on.

It is wisely said, that a strictly honest man who desires purely the public good who will not criminally flatter the people, not take part in lies, or party slander, nor decend to the arts of the rat, the weasel and the fox, cannot succeed in politics. If the foregoing were true there would be no success in government. We know what the popular opinion is. Governor Small and Mayor Thompson are real strong men who are honest, and who will not stoop to the arts of the rat, the weasel and the fox, but say; we do know a lot of politicians who are crawling through the sewers of polluted statesmanship who when the governor gets through with them they will be a very sorry lot. --- ```markdown ``` THE WRECKER The Wilson Administration will be remembered for political plunder, graft, mistakes, academic theories, the pork-barrel, governmental errors, amateur statesmanship, mismanagement, financial, chaos, official misfits, irregularities, misappropriations, "he kept us out of war," "we are too proud to fight," and a mastodonic ego that would shame a monkey.

Money they say is the most of all evil. It is not true. If it would just take a deeper root I know a lot of people who would be a slight lots happier. The trouble is that it takes considerably more care and cultivation to get it to take root, and even then should the delicate plant show the aureole of a rejuvenating cosmos (whatever that is) some wife or chicken would wish a set of furs, or gleam from society's ramparts with Kimberly mines in the back ground which to all intents and purposes produce vacuums in the pocket book and chinging nibs which arouse the sympathy of meat hounds lounge lizzards.

HOWARD FOOTBALL PLAYERS START TRAINING. Thirty-one Candidates for Eleven Report to Coach Morrison for Practice on First Day. Washington, D. C.-A counsel of war was held at the Howard University early last week launching the Howard Football campaign for the Championship, for 1921. Howard swept everything before her last year and is out to do the same thing this year. Early in the summer it was decided to have the men return for preliminary practice on September 15th. The secretary-treasurer opened the Boarding Department and the dormitories of the University so that nothing should stand in the way of the schedule of preliminary practice being put under way at once. A squad of over thirty men, including most of the warriors and promising substitutes of last year and a number of husky newcomers reported Thursday, September 15th, for the first day's grilling under Coach W. E. Morrison, who is being assisted by Joe Trigg, former Syracuse star, and Major M. T. Dean, Head of the Department of Physical Education. Until College opens, October 3rd, Coach Morrison is to hold dayly workouts of the most rigorous kind in order to get his men in condition for the season's big program of games. No time is being lost and no effort is being spared by the coach and his assistants to assure this year an even mor formidable football machine than that of the 1921 season. Nearly all of the men of the first team of last year have arrived, including Captain Fuller, tackle; "Bulldog" Williams, end, who made the famous 80 yard run in the Howard-Lincoln game last year; Payne, the plucky full back; and "Bip" Brocks, half back. Among those who have not yet showed up, but who are expected to report for practice within the next few days are quarters Carter and Kean and "Jack" Nurse, guard. By the opening of school, there will likely be not less than 90 men out for practice. Former Captain Jesse Lawrence is here for a short time helping in the preliminary work while awaiting the opening of the school in Durham, N. C., where he is to teach during the coming year. The Howard Schedule. The Howard Schedule. Howard's schedule this year is quite heavy. Most of the important games, however, will be played away from home. The first game of the season will be played October 8th at Lynchburg, Va., against the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Other games on the schedule are: October 15th, at Washington—Agricultural and Technical College of Greensboro, N. C.; October 22nd, at Washington—Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute of Petersburg, Va.; October 29th, at Institute, W. Va.—West Virginia Collegiate Institute; November 5th, at Washington—Shaw University; ending with the Howard-Lincoln game at Philadelphia, Pa., on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th. ENROLLMENT AT HOWARD EXPECTED TO BE LARGEST IN HISTORY. Washington, D. C.-Despite the wave of depression that has passed over the country, present indications are that the inpotus given to student enrollment in educational institutions in the United States following the war will not be checked. Like the other colleges and universities throughout the country, the Howard University, located at the Capital of the Nation, with its modern equipped plant and its various academic schools with courses in Liberal Arts, Education, Commerce and Finance; its School of Applied Science, with courses in Advanced Engineering and Architecture, Agriculture, and Home Economics; its Class "A" School of Medicine, with courses in Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy; and its School of Law, is preparing to receive its new contingent of students During the summer vacation extensive repairs and improvements have been made to the grounds and buildings, including the installation of new lighting arrangements for the classrooms, drinking fountains in the various buildings, and other changes tending to add to the comfort of the students and to freshen the buildings of the University. Quite a number of important additions have been made to the 'raculty which now number 136. Last year, the total enrollment at the Howard University in all Departments was 1,910. This year, at the beginning of the autumn quarter, September 28, 1921, it is expected that welcome will be extended to an even larger number. THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE By M. A. Majors. Chicago has for the last passed week been cluttered with big Negroes. Learned scholars, great lawyers, leading doctors, eminent editors, scientists of far reaching introspection of great and grave questions of the day, logicians, orators and philosophers. A great concourse of concurrent intellectual forces assembled to debate, and to deliberate on the passing, but pressing subjects that concern fifteen millions of dark faces in America. Dr. M. A. A. N. Shaw of Boston was the president. Wm. Monroe Tropper of the Boston Guardian, Lawyer and Mrs. F. L. Barnett, Mrs. Eva Wells, Hon. J. Gray Lucas, Dr. Mary Warring, Miss Mamie Calloway, Madam Bertha Hensley, Our very worthy Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, Mrs. Ada McKinley, Miss Adis Musgrove, A. H. Lucas, Dr. Adams, Princ Hawkins, Majors, Mesdames Davis, U. G. Mason, R. A. Williams, M. A. Majors, George Young, Atty. Frank B. Warring and a host of Chicago's most estimable citizens contributed of their money and time to give the League a splendid impression of Chicago and to make the League sessions in our great city a great force in the national life of the race. Dr. Watson of Pilgrim Baptis Temple, where the sessions were heard, was made Chairman of the Executive Committee. He and Hon Oscar Depriest and the Appomattox Club, the People's Movement Club, the Hon Wm. Hale Thompson, Hon Geo. F. Harding, Hon. Samuel Ettelson, Hon. Louis B. Anderson, the mayor's floor representative in the city council of Chicago, all contributed together with the Broad Ax, the Defeader, the Whip, the Enterprise, the Advocate and the big white daily morning and evening papers. Matters of far reaching importance concerning our welfare, our status, our grievances are to be brought before the legislative bodies of every state and before both houses of congress, to the president and his cabinet, and last but not least to the attention of the Associated Press of America. The sessions have done us all great good. We have better notions of what we want at the hands of the government and from humanity, generally. We are today having higher feelings, nobler ideas, grander prospects, and we look with better mental sight at the problems that are daily confronting us as they present themselves to no other race in this country. All praise to the Equal Rights League. Its work mapped out is singular and peculiar. It is not propaganda. It is the Negro making his own fight like a man unaided by high salaried office, obliged to no organization or society. Last Thursday evening, September 15, the citizens general committee tendered the League and its newly elected officers a reception at the Community Center. ATTORNEY A. L.

THE GREATER FORT DEAR BORN HOSPITAL DRIVE All of our good friends are not in the cemetery yet, as has been said by doctors and adjutants. Today we, as a apothecary, have very much indeed to be thankful for. Recently the hearts of philanthropic citizens have become stirred as never before, and we are on the threshold of a public awakening beyond the dreams of the most extrasagant enthusiasts in the world. When white bankers who have millions insurance men of largest proportionate holdings, great lawyers in city administration of the public political affair senator, the mayor of the fourth city of the world, civic organizations, and a multiplicity of forces all working in unison, looking, working in conformity, and happily augmenting unanimity of action toward one sole object, the thing to be accomplished must indeed be very weighty, as well as a very worthy project. Recently, however, and we do not mention it without a modicum degree of sham: the great forces represented by fif white race, including about the best men and women of Chicago, met at the Appomattox Club to further the plans and see peradventure if it of the best Negro brains there might not be evolved some unthought of great thing that had escaped the attention of this large hearted, philanthropic committee of the white race. Lo and behold there were none of the big Negroes present, not one of the leaders, no so man cus that could look the committee in the face, and speak interestingly about the effort that is causing so much solicitude among our best white citizens. could any interest be more inviting Why were they not there? How elsewhere? One thing is certain, the drive is a success. Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be rained into the coffers of this great Institution, because there are some hosts of us who don't raise so much dust in the spot light, are working like blazes, and are not sparring to be heard, or silent because there is not in sight personal gain, or individual promotion. Our people, it seems, meet this issue with the "yes, I will give" spirit, and are going to have a hospital that has for its head and front men and women of our race, and not dominated over by eliques, bulldozers, and self commissioned bluffers and white man "critters" absolutely exiles from real manhood.

Pittsburgh, Kansas—I am not dead nor am I played out but I have been rusticating for a few weeks, but come back to you this week fresh and vigorous and ready to tell you some of the things I have seen and some I have not seen, and you will not know the difference when I am through and if you will guess which is which then I will make you a Christmas present. tinues to movejBCWhetdeob awin After a fashion the world continues to move and I have been moving with it, and I am in position to say a few things after getting around as I have and been in some big meetings and met some big men and women who are contributing their part to the uplift of the world. Since writing to you last I have been in the big National Baptist convention, and honey you will have to take my word for it that it was some convention. I don't see where so many people came from, and they were eye openers to the people of Chicago. John and the number he saw were certainly on hand in Chicago, and the 8th Regiment Armory was not large enough to hold the crowd desiring to pay their respects to the National Baptist convention presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., and he was re-elected president at large and he is a man of rare ability. Dr. Parks is just a leader of men, and a man with a vision. He is pastor of a large church up there in Philadelphia, and went from Tennessee up there. He at a glance jumped into leadership in the Quaker city, and is loved by all who attend the National Baptist convention. He is loyal and stands right by the side of Dr. E. C. Morris, the president. I want to pay my respects to Dr. L. K. Williams, Dr. J. H. Branham, and all the others who contributed to the successful entertainment of the convention. Dr. Williams, is indeed a leader of men and a trained man at that. I find so much pleasure in coming in touch with him and see him from time to time. I have made a study of the man. He is void of beauty, he is not gushy. He is not a man to make a big fuss over things, but just a polished still factor in affairs of church and nation, and he is rendering a great service to the denomination and to the race, and you, may put it down that I told you, that some day he will lead the Baptist forces of America. It is a nice thing to come in touch with the leading men of Chicago, and to see how they are building up the cause, and how they are getting hold of great church buildings, even though they are second-handed, they are answering the purpose for which they were erected. Of course while the white folks were building these churches they were building for white folks, as they saw it, but God was in the plans. He had said long ago: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Little by little this beatitude is being demonstrated. A long time ago the white Baptists erected a fine church at Thirty-first street and South Park avenue, for white folks, but look at it now. It is the home of the Olivet Baptist church, and that congregation has outgrown it and will soon be building new quarters. Then you look at the Pilgrim Baptist church, Dr. S. E. J. Watson, pastor, the Bethesda Baptist church Dr. Martin pastor, and the church of which the Rev. Dr. McCoo is pastor, and the building soon to be occupied by Ebenezer Baptist church, saying nothing about the Methodists. Go back to 1884 when the convention met in Chicago and nominated James G. Blaine for president of the United States, then less than a dozen people of my race lived East of State street, but look at them fine mansions occupied by them now. I will join in that fellow who wrote the Psalms and say "The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." I told you it was going to be a great convention and it was, and the delegates and visitors were so well entertained that they were ready and willing to return when invited. It will not be long before Chicago will invite them to come. It was inspiring to listen to the reports, and made the fellow who was not a Baptist to feel like he wanted to get in the boat right away and follow "One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism." Dr. S. L. Birt, made a speech, and at once Dr. C. H. Parrish moved that he be received as a candidate for baptism on his Christian experience. Rev. Birt bucked, and declared he was willing to continue the dry land route to heaven. I hope he is going to get there. I will forgive him. Prof. R. B. Hudson, who has taken his place among the prominent laymen, in fact he is at the top, was elected secretary for the 17th time and without opposition. He is an efficient secretary and a well trained man. It is only a question of a short time when the Baptists will take him from the school room and demand all of his time to look after their business. Editor R. S. Abbott, made a great speech at the opening of the convention. He said some good plain practical things to the visitors, and his address was punctuated with outbursts of applause. I take off my hat to him. He knew what to say and how to say it. There were other speakers, but I am paying my respect to the newspaper man. I want to be one myself one of these days, hence when I come in contact with one who is saying things, then it is my time to say a few things about him. Speaking of Baptists, I had the pleasure of meeting that great Baptist layman, and had an opportunity to study how he shines with his people, William H. Steward, of Louisville, Ky., editor of the American Baptist. I just had to look at him. He was chairman of the enrollment committee and is indeed a man who knows his business, and all the other members of the committee heard him when he spoke. He is strictly a business man. I want to give him what he has earned. Dr. F. L. Lights, of Houston, Texas, was on the committee with Steward, but he has served his last time. He was a real sick man during the convention, but was right thereon to do his duty. He worked hard, and Tuesday morning he had to be carried to the stable to get on the Chicago & Alton wagon, going toward his home. His train was headed for the other home, and it was thought by many he would leave before he reached St. Louis. He made it into Houston, and then took his trip to his long eternal home. Another great Baptist minister has fallen out of the ranks. I wish you could have heard that wonderful report made by Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention. He is doing things up believe me honey, and he is going to give to us Baptists, one more publishing house. He has in him the elements of leadership and then he is some business man. He had nothing to say about the Boyds, except to publish the two charters side by side. In the one the Sunday School Board secured there were no technicalities by which he could go into court and put the Baptists out of their own. This won for him more friends. He is going right on now and pay for the place purchased and erect one more building and Baptists of America are going to support him in it. Of course you heard of Dr. L. G. Jordan resigning from the position of active secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist convention, and he was elected secretary emeritus. I don't know what that means, but it is something. Dr. James E. East, was elected his successor, and has been duly installed in the position. He is now in charge. God bless him and his work. Dr. A. R. Griggs, the father of his son, retired from the educational secretaryship, and was succeeded by Dr. S. N. Vass, of North Carolina. You see how things are moving up. It was sad to learn that at the meeting held in New Orleans, Rev. C. J. W. Boyd, without warning was the victim of a stray bullet, and is numbered with the angels. I would advise that those who are in the same position to get right with God and the National Baptist convention. I do not like to talk about the dead, and can only say good things about them when I gather around their open graves. It is then I praise God for their lives. One by one we are leaving here. Now who will be the next? I don't know. I may be that one. I missed Revs. C. T. Walker, A. Barbour, Prof. M. M. Rodgers who have reported to the throne of God, and so soon followed by Dr. Lights. God knows best, and I commend them all to Him. I got around a little in Chicago, met some people, and talked with them, and made it to see others. I am getting along nicely in this world and I am ready when God shall call me up higher. I had a very interesting letter from one of the most interesting characters in the race, Mrs. Carrie A* Tuggle, of Birmingham. Mrs. Tuggle has dedicated her life to the fortunate boys and girls. Those who are neglected, those who are not wanted by any one else, those who would go to the devil if it were not for her strong arm about them. She is at the head of Tuggle Institute, an institute which she founded and for which she is devoting all she has had or can get. She has given to us some men and women of whom we are proud. In this number is Prof. John Whatley, who is connected with the public school system of Birmingham, and who has made his place in this world. This young man is doing things in great shape, and he is making good. His training was at Continued on Page 4. M. MR.

MORSELL Proprietors THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1928 James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, has made the following statement: Just one year ago one of the staff officers of the National Association wrote a letter to the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlanta and in reply received an application for membership blank and some other literature of the Klan. This was the beginning of the fight which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has kept up against the Ku Klux Klan ever since. After considerable correspondence, we secured enough information regarding the Klan to give wide spread publicity to it and to show its real purposes. We placed the evidence that we had gathered into the hands of the Mayor of the City of New York, Governor of New York State, Police Commissioner of New York and the District Attorney's Office, and also into the hands of the Department of Justice at Washington. Later a member of our office staff made the trip to Ocoee, Florida and investigated the Ku Klux Klan riots in that town in which twenty-five to forty colored people were killed. The first mass meeting in New York against the Ku Klux Klan was held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the 3rd of January. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has not only fought the Ku Klux Klan from its National Office and through its branches by publicity, by mass meetings and by appealing to the authorities, it has also fought the Klan as it glorified in the infamous moving picture—"The Birth of A Nation." In return the Klan through its organ, The Searchlight, launched a vicious attack against the N. A. A. C. P., and used every means in its power to intimidate members of the Association if the South. This fight of a year waged by the Association has at last borne fruit and the battle has been taken up by a great and powerful champion, The New World World. And The World is dealing the Ku Klux Klan its death blow. Twenty other prominent newspapers in various sections of the country are associated with The World in giving publicity to the inside workings of this nefarious organization. About a little more than two months ago a representative of The World came into the National Office of the Association and told us plans for an investigation and expose which his paper was undertaking and asked us to furnish him with all the data and information possible. Our office immediately placed at his disposal its files of data, information and documents relating to the Ku Klux Klan. We are glad that we were able to render this assistance to The World in the great fight which it is carrying on. The World is performing a great service not only to the Negro but to the nation because in stamping out the Ku Klux Klan, it is conserving its institutions of law and order. The World merits the appreciation of the whole country and especially of the colored people, because the destruction of the Ku Klux Klan means more to them than to anybody else. In addition the New York American has begun the publication of a series of articles exposing the Klan. The articles are written by C. Anderson Wright, former King Kleagle of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan. In the issue of the American of September 16, Mr. Wright made the following disclosure regarding the policy of the Klan toward the N. A. A. C. P. Fear Negro Power. "Another subject of serious discussion was the realization that the power of the Negro society known as the Society for the Advancement of Colored People was becoming a great menace in the expansion of the Ku Klux Klan, as it was continually giving to the press publicity of the Klan's underhand methods. This society was getting active in State legislative work, having already succeeded in having in- produced by a Negro legislator from Chicago, a bill denouncing the Klan in the Illinois Legislature. This bill was passed. It made an appeal to the citizens of Illinois to refrain from joining or associating in any manner with the Ku Klux Klan. "This activity on the part of the Negro, in the judgment of Clarke, warranted prompt action, and it was decided to set up a rival organization to the Society for the Advancement of Colored People without delay. Clarke began with a Negro in his own employ, a man of unusual intelligence, who was in charge of the servants on his farm on the outskirts of Atlanta. This servant enlisted the services of other Negroes as spies and they attended the meetings of the society and reported everything that was said and done. Also these spies sought to create dissatisfaction and discord among the members of the society. This Negro phase of the Klan's activities I shall deal with in another article." CHARLES E. STUMP WRITES ON THE BAPTISTS MEETING IN CHICAGO. Tuggle Institute. I wish you could know Mrs. Tuggle. I have been sick, and real sick at that. I thought at one time my wings were growing out, but I am better, and sticking now to the medicine which has been furnished me by that wonderful physician and surgeon, Dr. G. C. Hall. Several of my friends sought him while in Chicago attending the convention, and they did 'the proper thing. He is right there with the goods. The convention is over and I have made it away from Chicago. I went to Alton, Illinois, thence to St. Louis, I am proud to say to you readers that after a slight operation, Prof. Aaron E. Malone is on his way back to health. He has been a real sick man, and his wife has been right by his side almost night and day. She has been as faithful as the trained nurse, and she is some kind of nurse herself. I was delighted to see her and talk with her and to see how Mr. Malone is improving. I made it to Kansas City, Parsons, Kansas, and to this place. I will have to bring this letter to a stop now. CHARLES E. STUMP. LEAVES FOR RICHMOND Miss Hazel Wells, daughter of R. W.

Avoid Being Irritant Some folks are just plain irritants. You don't know why it is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being so touchy. But it can't be helped—they irritate. Do your best to get beyond the irritation stage.

In rooms where the floor is not covered with a soft carpet the moving of chairs is often the cause of a good deal of noise. The trouble may be remedied in this way: From thick felt out small rounds to glue on to the foot of the chairs. These can be secured from an old cut or from an odd piece of floor covering.
