The Broad Ax

The Last Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, Thursday Evening, January 26th, 1922, Was a Stormy Session. Dr. M. J. Brown Led a Strong and Bitter Fight Against the Executive Committee, Freely Predicting That It Would Utterly Fail in Its Attempt to Conduct The Business Affairs of the Hospital Read The Broad Ax-and be happy VOL. XXVII. The Last born Hos a Stormy Fight Ag That It Shortly after our highly esteemed friend, Dr. M. J. Brown, succeeded in getting the writer interested in the Fort Dearborn Hospital, which was near the 1st of August, 1921, we started in to raise some money for it through the columns of this newspaper and within five or six weeks from that time we raised almost four thousand dollars directly and indirectly from our good and generous hearted white friends who were and are still greatly interested in the welfare of the colored people, and at the end of our successful drive through the columns of this newspaper Dr. M. J. Brown, Dr. B. R. Bluit, Dr. F. C. Cade, Dr. John W. Burrell and several other who had dumped their money into the rat hole in connection with the Fort Dearborn Hospital, heartily thanked us for rushing in just in the nick of time and with the four thousand dollars which we dug up and turned over to Dr. Brown' and Dr. Cade for the hospital. They all declared that we had prevented the doors of the Fort Dearborn Hospital from being closed up tight never to open again under their management, for that they had arrived at the end of their rope and that it was utterly impossible for them to raise the money to carry the heavy toad any further; that at that time they owed more than ten thousand dollars running indebtedness; that we had saved the day for them and had interjected new life or blood into their fast falling or otterting or shaky institution for them. Not long after that gime our good and true friend, Dr. M. J. Brown, declared that inasmuch as we had single handed and alone, accomplished such a wonderful work for the Fort Dearborn Hospital in the way of raising money for it at the critical time when- it was sadly in need of it; that he further desired us to endeavor to get some of our prominent white friends to become trustees and officers of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, and our following warm white friends of many years standing willingly consented to serve to the best of their ability as trustees and officers for at least one year from the time that they were inducted into office, namely: Hop. George B. Holmes, Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, Trustee and President of the Board of Trustees; Hon. Emmett Whealan, Commissioner of Cook County, Vice-President; Hon. Jamie W. Breen, First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago; Hon. Those Carey, President of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company; Hon. Henry Stuckart, ex-City and ex-County Treasurer; Mr. T. Frank O'Connell, Secretary-Treasurer of the Chicago National Life Insurance Co., were honored members of the Advisory Committee and again it must be distinctly under stood that all of the above mentioned gentlemen became deeply interested in the Fort Dearborn Hospital through our untiring efforts in its heath. Our highly distinguished friend, Dr. M. J. Brown, further contended the reason why he wanted some white men selected as officers of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, was that every time that the colored doctors connected with it always bad a monkey and parrot time every time that they met to discuss its affairs and that frequently some of the hot-headed doctors would almost come to blows before they would wind up their disgraceful and ungentlemenly conduct; that he felt confident that with sev- ARREST SHERIFF FOR NEGRO'S DEATH Texarkana, Tex.—Deputy Sheriff W. T. Texarkana was arrested Saturday following indictment for murder by the Bowie County grand jury in connection with the killing of P. Norman, a Negro found shot to death two and one-half miles from Texarkana recently. Jordan voluntarily surrendered when he heard a warrant for his arrest had been issued. He was later released under $3,000 bond. On February 11th Jordan went to Ashdown, Ark., to bring Norman to Texarkana. That night Jordan reported the part of our good friend, Dr. M. J. Brown, was as far from the truth as the bright shining sun is from the earth. For on Thursday evening, January 26, 1922, the members of the Board of Trustees whose names were published in the last issue of this paper met at 3902 South State street, for re-election of officers for the coming year and for the transaction of any Board, that the colored doctors would refrain from conducting themselves in such a roughhouse-manner in the future. That statement or conclusion on oral high-class white gentlemen present at the meetings of the Trustee other business which might come before it, and all went well until after President Hon. George B. Holmes stated that the executive committee had accomplished wonders in such a short space of time in handling the business affairs of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, that he had made up his mind to re-appoint it for the coming year, the executive committee consisting of Mr. Alfred Clover, Mr. A. L. Williams and Mr. Julius F. Taylor; then the fireworks or the bitter fighting began against it which was led by Dr. M. J. Brown, who was ably backed up by Dr. B. R. Bluitt and by Dr. C. W. Bibb they bitterly fought and protested against the re-appointment of the executive committee, and at that point each member of the executive committee informed President Holmes that its members were ready and willing to step aside and permit other members of the Trustee Board to discharge its duties as at best it was a thankless job. For the sake of peace and harmony, Dr. Brown intimated that he had contributed one thousand dollars to the Fort Dearborn Hospital and had made a grandstand play by giving another thousand dollars at the meeting at the Wendell Phillips High School at the time that Mr. Alfred Clover donated one thousand dollars to the Fort Dearborn Hospital to be used to secure a home for the nurses and not to be used in paying off the old running debts of the hospital; that all the doctors and others connected with the hospital must work under him and his very able associates and not attempt to work over them, or words to the same effect. Dr. Brown, in continuing his bitter fight against the executive committee, asserted that it had failed to treat him right and he freely predicted that it would utterly fail in conducting the business affairs of the hospital; that statement on the part of Dr. Brown was enough to cause the boss devil to crack his fat sides with loud laughter when we take into consideration the fact that the executive committee was forced to buy more than one hundred dollars worth of new surgical instruments in order for the doctors to perform operations properly. That was one of the first thing it was forced to do on assuming charge of its business affairs and the next thing it was compelled to do was to buy new bedding for all patients above eight or ten. The hospital being far short on surgical instruments it was no wonder that one of the lady patients labored under the impression that the doctor rushed down stairs into the kitchen after the butcher knife and after a big pair of tailor's shears, which she thought he used while performing an operation on her.

Next morning Norman's body, containing four bullet wounds, was found on a country road. It is said the Negro drove Jordan off another Negro's farm at the point of a gun. Mrs. L. B. Griffen, 3350 South Park avenue, was one of the guests present at the Juvenile Protective Association dinner at the City Club, 315 Plymouth place, Monday, February 27th.

The Eighth Annual National Negro Health Week should secure a more general interest in an understanding of health problems and health education than any which has preceded it. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the co-operation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the re- HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN duction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the Government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country. As was done last year, the United States Public Health has prepared the Health Week Bulletin. Copies of the same may be secured by application to Tuskegee Institute or to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. At a meeting of representatives of a number of national health organizations held at Tuskegee Institute, January 20th, the following program for Health Week was approved: Sunday, April 2nd—Sefmon and Lecture Day. Health sermons and lectures by ministers, doctors and other qualified persons. Urge the carrying out of the Health Week program. Give references to health information and urge co-operation with organiez agencies. Emphasize mother and infant welfare week to reduce high infant mortality. Monday, April 3rd—Hygiene Day. Personal and community hygiene talks by doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other qualified persons. Social hygiene education and venereal disease control measures should be considered in special meetings. Health films, slides and exhibits should be used wherever possible under proper supervision. Tuesday, April 4th—Fly and Mosquito Day. Destroy the breeding places of flies; also of mosquitoes. Talk on the possibility and danger of disease being spread by insects and rats, and describe the methods of destroying them. All homes, markets, bakeries and food establishments should be screened against flies. * Wednesday, April 5th - Children's Health Day, Health programs, stories of modern health crusades, parades, etc. It is suggested that, on or before this day, school buildings and premises be put in sanitary condition; and, if programs are rendered in school buildings, parents be invited to attend. Some part of the exercises of this day should be devoted to the commemoration of the birthday of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the National Health Week. Thursday, April 6th — Tuberculosis Day. Talks by doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other qualified persons. Explain that tuberculosis (consumption) is not hereditary, but spreads through carelessness; that treatment should begin early. Emphasize for prevention: 1, Good cheer; 2, Good food; 3, Fresh air; 4, Proper living. Friday, April 7th — Church Sanitation Day. Clean churches thoroughly inside and out. Clear the yards of all rubbish, etc. Put toilets in sanitary condition. It is suggested that health entertainments or meetings for informal talks on the week's program and the Saturday general clean-up follow the day's work. Saturday, April 8th—General Clean-Up Day. Complete all cleaning of homes, buildings and premises. The community supervising committee should prepare, through its secretary or other person, a report of the results of the Health Week program and send copy or summary of report to newspapers and co-operating organizations. It is suggested that a committee be organized in each community to supervise the carrying out of the above program. Tuskegee Institute will appreciate suggestions for making the campaign a success, and will be glad to furnish or co-operate in helping any individual or group to receive the necessary literature. Address: R. R. MOTON/Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama THE COLONIAL HOSPITAL SUPPLY CO., 30 EAST RANDOLPH STREET, IS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE AND COLLECT ITS CLAIM AGAINST THE FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL, AMOUNTING TO EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS. SEVERAL FAKE AFFIDAVITS FILED IN COURT AGAINST LAWYER A. L. WILLIAMS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF INJURING HIS GOOD STANDING IN THIS CITY. In their maddened effort to fool the Hon. Denis E. Sullivan, who is one of the fairest minded Judges in Cook County, Chancellor of the Superior Court, two or three low-down fake affidavits have been presented to him by some so-called sleek white and colored lawyers they have been hastily hatched up for one purpose only and that is to play fast and loose with the honorable court and to place Attorney A. L. Williams, receiver for the Fort Dearborn Hospital, in bad with the court and the public in general. One of the affidavits was alleged to have been signed by Miss A. C. Crisp, cashier and stenographer of the hospital, to the effect that said receiver tried to induce her to turn over finances of the institution that were in the bank and in her possession, which amounted to $443 in all, to be transferred to his own account. The affidavit further averred that a note for $500 fell due on Feb. 15. And since the hospital was short $57, Mr. Williams agreed to pay this difference out of his personal account, having received $50 from J. F. Taylor. So he ordered his secretary to bring this amount down and he would in turn give her a check for $500 to meet the note due on the following day. Miss Crisp, after being told of the affidavits purporting to have been signed by her, declared that she did not sign any affidavit or paper of any kind. But she said that on Feb. 14 she did tell Dr. Brown, Dr. Cade and Dr. Bluitt, that Mr. Williams had ordered her to take, the check of $500 that she had brought to sign back to the hospital and make out one for $443, the amount of the institution's total funds, and bring it to him and he would take that check, deposit it to his account and would give her a $500 check on his personal account to meet the hospital's 'obligations. Charge Double Dealing Several statements were made by the attorney for Dr. Brown that they had other affidavits. He produced COLORED MAN ELECTED DIRECTOR OF BANK John W. Bowser of Sea Bright Named as One of the Directors of the First National Bank of That Town—First Colored Man to Hold Directorship. Sea Bright, N. J.—Mr. John W. Bowser, proprietor and owner of Bowser's Garage of this place, was elected one of the directors of the First National Bank of Sea Bright. Mr. Bowser is a highly respected colored citizen and has one of the most up-to-date garages along the coast. He is the first and only colored bank director that we have ever known to be elected in this part of the country. Mr. Bowser was also appointed a member of the Chamber of Commerce of this place and is also the only colored member of the Chamber. It is reliably reported that Doctor Stork will along the first part of the summer, pay a visit to the home of Mrs. Irene McCoy Gaines, 3260 Vernon avenue. 5 CENTS per copy Port Dear- 122, Was and Bitter predicting duct The HOSPITAL SUPPLY ANDOLPH STREET, G TO FORCE AND CLAIM AGAINST THE CORN HOSPITAL, D EIGHT HUNDRED AFFIDAVITS FILED AINST LAWYER A.

But when the Colonial people were approached, they denied emphatically that they made any affidavits, but said they were in sympathy with the fight the receiver was making and would back it to the limit. It is said that Attorney N. Lorenz, counsel for Dr. M. J. Brown, who is the only defendant who has attempted to make a fight in the open, is in the employ of the Chicago Medical school, one of the other defendants in the cause. It is also alleged that notwithstanding the fact that an injunction has been served against the Chicago Medical school and Dr. Fred C. Cade, another defendant, restraining them from interfering with the receiver's management of affairs, it appears that in order to defeat this suit, all the files, documents and records that were in the possession of Dr. Cade, the secretary, were turned over by him to Attorney Lorenz. The following letter speaks for itself: Telephone Central 1563 COLONIAL HOSPITAL SUPPLY COMPANY 184 W. Washington St., Chicago, Ill. Dear Mr. Williams: This is to certify that we, Colonial Hospital Supply Company, have not at any time made an affidavit of any nature whatever, for or to The Dearborn Hospital Association, and that the Dearborn Hospital Association at the present time owe us eight hundred dollars, $800.00, all of which is past due. Neither have we made an affidavit whatever, to any member or director or officer or to any one else connected with either The Dearborn Hospital Association or The Fort Dearborn Hospital Association.

Abraham Lincoln Muprray, who was pastor of Bethel church in this city, in 1901,1902 and 1903, passed away in the east. Rev. Murray was one of the most prominent Bible expounders in the great A. M.

He would be very much im the same plight should he do either And yet if everyone was pious, sorry looking and sallow, straight laced an¢ restricted to the salutations of the church and Sunday School where the ‘organ must soothe our 20th century nerves, and the doleful moanful mani- kin who in monster searches makes the collection of the hour the cause for, and cost of calling sinners to re- pentance at so much per sinner, and the preacher glorious man that he is, scientific joker-and jollier, often re- spected more for eHfrontery and gall than for piety and religious zeal by 2 class of people whose ignorance cle- vates them to the revelation of mys- teries as difficult as the major planets. But this going away from what we are soing to write about. As we were say- ing, absolutely denying oneself is con- trary to good judgment and common sense and which if not practiced marks the way to perdition by our human skeletons. The writer used to be- lieve it was right to deny oneself and take up the cross and follow in the ways of a behavior that gives a fellow the creeps to think about. But sup- pose literally every one of us should do that very thing. Follow Christ, or Paul, or.St. John. The very founda- ion and pitlow of all we have and know would be blasted. Neither of them married. Neither of them were ike us, and yet-we are told to worship| it the throne of self-denial. Our lead- 4 id ~ ce cc... } HON. JAMES H.

The greatest sin is ignorance. . The greatest blasphemy is the satisfaction that being ignorant seems to give pleasure in no matter what form, it comes to human kind should be re- garded as a blessing and not a curse The understanding of mortals has not kept pace with their superstition and this is the ugly blight and wretched- ness which makes humanity regard love as sin unless sanctioned by law, or representative government. Evtrything it appears, even under the radiant reflection of nineteen cen- turies of Christianity is all messed and mattered with the fester of human bigotry. Nations have acquired the habit of killing rather than loving, and our chief concern is not how shall we Jove one another, but with guns, weap- ons, rope, dope, poison and debauchery we stop merely for a pitiful moment to philosophize on the manner and process of killing each other. Public sentiment sets the meets and bounds of our good behavior, and it says Miss Mary Garden nay play Thais or Salome with as little to hide her loveliness as she pleases, and al- though every one views with a fond- ness the nudity of themselves, they throw a thousand canniption fits when they see some one else almost as naked as they like to look at themselves. We are such liars, and hypocrits, that it appears all the more glaring and emphasized the better one covers up OF camouflages, or even when one ees the genuine Redeemer void of sin, and with nothing but love and deliver- ance, like the people of Pilot's day, hey want to crucify Him. People are different now, and great changes have got to come in the gen- eral regulation of our lives, manners habits, and customs. Will it be athletics, sanitation, hy- giene, law, medicine or religion that must be augmented with our educa- tive process toward the world's much needed reformations? Whatever it is that will give us more body vigor, stronger moral stamina, wider mental reach, better heart beat, abler digestive forces and cleaner as well as more de- sirable intelligence, must be stamped with a divinity of the Christ who made the one great eternal sacrifice. With thoughts of the merry laughter of childhood comes trooping over the cyn- ic’s scared and sordid heart the joyful recollection of happy days when those Jong dead held him up as their pride and future prospect. ‘Merriment should stand always where sorrows and horrors and ugly forms of the people who failed to rightly in- terpret the pulse beats, and the heart throbs of their age have ever stood, Joy should be handmaiden to good- ness, to tranquility and our human loves. Public sentiment, of course, must be sober, honest and truthful. People should live true to high and ennobling principles that make for our nobler aspects of living sincerely and truly. We can no more divest ourselves of our human ideas, and notions of living and rapture of peing, and pleasure of doing the proper things that appeal to our human nature, than we can divert the Mississippi River to change its channel to flow east rather than south. Society is honey combed with hypoc- isy and lies; garbed/and garnished and mur very pretenses when not hidden yehind the safety screen, emphasize o all the world that we are elements of the chaos which engulfs mankind, nd displays how indelicate we are t the art of fumbling and bungling hings. Perhaps the world was never better han it is today. Anyhow, people are rriving at truths which in other years hey we.e afraid to admit on account f their superstition and cowardly self- ondemnation.

It had many plantations and its people raised large numbers of chic- kens and kids. Seven years of foreign rule have been’enough to ruin it com- pletely. The villages have been de- stroyed, the plantations have disap- peared, the kids and the chickens. are dead. The natives, weakened by ex- cessive toil, have not had the time to sow their crops. They have seen di- sease brought to them, famine over- take them, and their population grow less.” This is the key-note of the remark- able novel by Rene Maran that has been awarded the Prix Goncourt, the most coveted literary prize in France. Maran is a Frenchman, born at Bor- deaux of colored parents. His mother comes from Guadeloupe, his father from Martinique. After finishing his studies he took up his residence in a remote part of French equatorial Afri- ca, two days’ journey from Lake Chad, as a colonial official. His novel was published before he left, but he did not know that a friend had presented tt for the Prix Goncourt, and he may not know yet, so remote is he from France. He has also published two volumes of verse. It is a tremendous honor that has| ome to this young colored French- man, and one turns eagerly to the volume that has been accorded such a prize, but we look at Batouala as pro- paganda for the Negro we shall be adly disappointed. It depicts a gross- y sensuous tribe held in subjection by’ brutal government. But as a picture! yf the horrors of imperialism it has ever been surpassed. Save in a short reface the author keeps himself and is opinions entirely in the background nd yet he says so much. There is an mportant ceremonial dance, described vith horrible detail, that takes place rhen the white commandment is away, | nd in the midst of the excitement] jatouala, the chief, cries out against he French.

We are nothing but | easts of burden. Beasts? Not even]: nat! The white man will feed a dog| nd care for a horse. But we? Wel re less than these animals, we are/' ywer than the lowest.

S. MORRIS, JR—“THE HOUR HAS COME.” By Dr. M. A. Majors When you have sat and listened to an eloquent speech, and thrilled in every nerve it seems, doesn't it seem Tike you have been refreshened by a Turkish bath with a brisk rub down? Occasionally we go where we can hear oratory, and it always has that effect on us. When you hear sweet music and enchanted with song there is somewhat the same kind of stimulat- ing power to soothe the nerves and the spirit. 2 Recently we attended a lecture given at St. Paul's C. M. E. Church, 47th and Dearborn streets, to hear the elaborate program of the occasion. Mr. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr, was to speak. The subject was “The Hour Has Come.” Young Morris is a son of my old World's Fair friend of 1893, who introduced us to Hon. Frederick Douglass and his wife at the Haytian building. Rev. Chas. S. Morris, upoo whose oratorical shoulders rested for a season the world famed oratorical mantle of our great Douglass, himself an illustrious character better known the world over than many American presidents and statesmen, and whose achievements in behalf of the op- pressed make him singularly the most unique and possibly famous with ex- ception of Geo. Washington and Abraham Lincoln. If I had never believed in the prin- ciples of heredity, here are evidences strong as proofs of Holy writ that inc the vcy gent Je ay very ir. very| much resembles his Sr. sire. We use superlatives too much, and when we have heard a few persons, speak eloquently, and s wweetly we go to of what he hates in the whites, thei lying, their cruelty, their unreasonable ness, their hypocrisy. And he crie out against taking the Negro to far of lands to fight for the savage of the whites and if they protest they are im prisoned or hung. “There are no serf nor chiefs, whites or blacks, only mer ‘and all men are brothers.” So he gives his philosophy., And in the mean- while the French commant, who ha: been asked for medical aid to help save this chief's life, replies with charming candor that he should be glad to have Batouala die and all his people with him. The plot of Batowala is the eternal French triangle, a husband, a wife and a lover. The husband, the chief Ba- touala, has a favorite wife Yassiguinja, who becomes enamoured of his friend Bissibingui. The husband in his jeal- ousy detetmines to kill Bissibingui and when they are together in the hut, “and such a marvellous description of hut as this is,” throws his knife at his rival, while appearing to throw it at a panther who is near Bissibingui. The knife misses its aim, and the pan- ther turns upon Batouala and with one stroke of his paw tears open his body. The end of the great chief is mag- nificent. He is silent after the delirium in which he inveighs against the French. Only his little dog is with him, a snarling little red dog, one of the most real figures in the story. It is night, Yassiguinja is in her hut and with her his rival. He sees them em- bracing one another. His jealousy gives him strength, and rising to his feet, like an infant taking its first steps, he advances toward the pair who rush apart and stand against the wall, their teeth chattering with terror. But Batouala has no further strength, and like a great tree in the forest, he falls to the ground. “At the sound the ducks quack, the hens cackle, the little red dog growls without opening his eyes, the ants, at work in their houses in the brown earth make a grating sound. And~ Yassiguinja and Bissi- bingui flee into the night. Little by ittlé the sounds die away and sleep alls upon all. Silence and solitude keep watch, Batouala, the majestic night is over you. Sleep. Sleep.” The book is great literature but it lescribes things sexual with a partic- ilarity that is untranslatable. One who has read much of Africa knows, jowever, that the great festival that inder French rule has become merely in orgy, once had a deep religious sig-| ificance. The story pictures a primi-| ive people corrupted by European in- luence, between two worlds, one dead | ' he other not yet born. And if the|' "rench ever do bring spiritual life to| quatorial Africa, if Christ and not he devil of commercial exploitation |! ver rule in it, few natives, if we are| | > credit Maran, will ‘profit by the|! hange. Every year they are dying at| he hands of that modern civilization | hat white men are taught not to ques- on but to tiphold and revere. I ‘comparisons. Orators differ from one another in the same respect singer: differ from one another. In fervor and tone and general marshalling of plati tudes and glittering mass of logical deductions each is a law unto him- self. Some have more evidence con- centrated with which to win their hearers, while beauty of expression, ahd accentuation bejewel the passing moments that challenge our admiration or.catch our fancy while sitting rich as Croesus under the spell of eloquent necromancy. We have heard of born orators.

[Name] Hon. Patrick J. Carr The Regular Democratic Candidate for Treasurer of Cook County, Who Will Come In Under The Wire Far Ahead of All of His So-Called Opponents Primary Day, Tuesday, April 11. County Treasurer Patrick J. Carr desires that it be distinctly understood that he "has nothing to do with the increase in taxes." For the city of Chicago he is the tax collector and the first tax bills—showing an average increase of 42 per cent—will be mailed out Monday to residents of the towns of Jefferson and West Chicago. Because of the enormous boost, Mr. Carr has printed a folder which he proposes to send out with each tax bill mailed. This says its "official information about taxes" and adds that it "will save you worry, time and money." tion in that tax now. The period has passed. The treasurer puts this pungent statement in black face type. "The taxpayers of Cook county will save time and add greatly to the efficiency of this office by remembering that the county treasurer has nothing to do with the increase in taxes. His sworn duty is to collect all taxes and he has absolutely no authority to change any tax." Carr's Plan Commended Circulars of this general character should have been issued by county treasures years ago, it was point- Circular Gives Some Facts On the first page the circular says that "it is the desire of the county treasurer to acquaint you with important concerns the assessing and collection of taxes." It goes on: "This information, if followed, will: 'Tell you how to obtain a reduction if your taxes are excessive. 'Avoid penalties on real estate taxes and special assessments. 'Most important of all, it may prevent your property from going to sale and thereby falling into the hands of the tax shark.' 'Give you the opportunity to pay your taxes at a substation near your home.'" Looking to the Future The folder explains the method by which excessive taxes may be reduced. It suggests that the property owner go to the board of assessors before Aug. 1 and after that date to the board of review. The folder asserts that there is no legal way of getting any reduction in the taxes which are payable now. Neither the board of assessors nor the board of review has any juridic- 101 HON. HENRY HORNER The Best Judge of the Probate Court That Cook County Has Ever Had Who Is Bound to Be Renominated for His Present Honored Position at the Primaries Tuesday, April 11. tion in that tax now. The period has passed. The treasurer puts this pungent statement in black face type. "The taxpayers of Cook county will save time and add greatly to the efficiency of this office by remembering that the county treasurer has nothing to do with the increase in taxes. His sworn duty is to collect all taxes and he has absolutely no authority to change any tax." Carr's Plan Commended Circulars of this general character should have been issued by county treasures years ago, it was pointed out... Many poor people are unacquainted with the system by which tax reductions are obtained. They pay as they are assessed, while others who know the system obtain tax reductions. The result is the inequity in taxation, about which the public complains bitterly. Under the heading relating to tax sharks, the pamphlet explains the system by which real estate is sold for overdue taxes to tax buyers, the interest they may charge, the added fees and penalties which may be collected and the system by which property may be redeemed. Regarding the convenience of paying taxes at the substations, the treasurer says that he has established eighty-six places where payments may be made. "We are asking you to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered," Mr. Carr continues, "so that you may avoid the congestion and large loss of time caused by the throng of many thousands daily in the county treasurer's office between April 1 and May 1. These substations are bonded. All tax receipts issued by them are absolutely guaranteed." THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, IL L. Saturday, March 4, 1922 CHARLESE E. STUMP, THE HIGH STEP PING TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN BASKING IN THE SUNSHINE DOWN IN FLORIDA. Palatka, Florida.—It takes a man to live down here in this country, and that has nothing to do with his color, but if you belong to my race you must almost be a super-man that is putting it in mild terms. I know whereof. I speak and I am sure that you know just what I am talking about. But I am not here to talk to you about that this week but I want to remind you that just little more than a month from now an opportunity will be given the American people to pay a tribute to one of the great men of America, and I am saying nothing about race or color, for true greatness is not measured by color, by size, by hair, by mind and by service rendered to mankind. This will fit our hero in whose honor a monument will be uncovered in a few days, Booker T. Washington. No, his monument is already uncovered when you look at those great buildings at Tuskegee Institute, and the thousands of men and women in all parts of the country who stand out as the result of Booker T. Washington having lived and served. He was indeed a great servant, and m his service he knew no race or color, he represented the Christ. We all rejoice that Booker T. Washington lived. Those who knew him are glad to say that they did, and those of us who enjoyed his friendship are the happier about it. He was a man who loved his people—I mean by that the human race. He was inspiration to so many, and now that he has gone, the people will gather at Tuskegee April 5, and witness the exercises of unveiling that which will remind generations to come that Booker T. Washington was at one time on this earth. A hundred years from now, all who knew him perhaps will be gone, but the boys and girls then will talk about him, and they will know him by what he has left behind. Just as we talk about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and others they will be talking about Booker T. and other great men who have lived and died. I would suggest to you now that if you have decided to go there, then and I hope that you have, you will notify Dr. Robert R. Moton, or his secretary, Albion A. Holsey, at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., that provisions may be made for you. Speaking of Dr. Robert R. Moton, I am sure that you are glad that you know him, and if you do not I would advise you to try to get to shake hands with him, for after a while he will step into the Great Beyond, and we will be talking about him. He is one of greatest living Americans of this age, and he is doing his work and doing it well. He is pleading our cause where we cannot plead it ourselves, and he is truly a representative of the race. He is a giant in statue as well as in intellect. He is the direct successor to Booker T. Washington, and God prepared him for the work. He was a personal friend to Dr. Washington, and like Dr. Washington, he worked his way through school. He earned his place not by luck, but by work, and he will stand out as a great character. I can point to our today as an example for our boys. He represents the possibilities of the race. In the life of Hampton he filled a place that will take years to fill. He was a man every inch of him, and he is a man today. He is a God-man, a race man, a man for the human race. I feel like dropping a flower at the feet of Secretary Holsey, but will not have time to do so this week, but will do so before we get to the April 5 meeting. He is filling his place and doing it well. Then there is that other great American, Emmett J. Scott, and when you talk about Dr. Washington, the name of Emmett J. Scott will come before you, because they lived and served together. I wish that I could tell you many things about him, but when I go to Washington soon, I am going to tell you about Mr. Scott, and his great work. The Baptists of this country are getting ready for their two big meetings, the one in New Orleans in June, the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress, and the other is the National Baptist convention. You would be surprised to know the number of people who are going to attend this meeting way out yonder in Los Angeles, Cal. They are going in surprising large numbers, and already they are getting ready for this. The church who love their pastors declare that their preachers must take the trip, and the men themselves are getting ready. I will keep you posted from time to time. The Methodists are going to have a big meeting in Chicago next August, and it will be a meeting of the young people. Secretary S. S. Morris, of Norfolk, Va., is getting things in readiness for this great event, and it is going to be some meeting honey. If you belong to the African Methodist Episcopal church you must get ready for this great event. Speaking of the African Methodist church, I am here this week looking at Bishop John Hurst hold the South Florida annual conference and it is well attended by representative men and women from all parts of the country. It is one more great big meeting. Bishop Hurst is not making much fuss, but he is just making his place in history, and he will rank at the close of his career with Payne, Way, and Grant, Arnett, Derrick, and others of that class. The world will know that he lived in this world, and Florida will have its place at the head in the connection. He has had a fight, for when he came to the state it was as full of factions as the bedbug 'ull of human blood, but now they are pulling as one. Here and there a man will rise up and show some of the hades spirit, but he is soon shown where he be- longs. The state will go to the next general conference asking for the election of the Rev. Dr. R. A. Grant to the episcopacy, and he is a fine man, he is a scholar and a leader of men. I know of no man who will do more good on the bench. Right along with him will come the Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, Md., a brainy minister, a preacher and a lover of his people. By all means he should be placed on the bench. I shall have something to say about it in another letter. Every day or so I am seeing something to inspire me. Coming to this city, I had the pleasure of meeting J. Madison Jenkins, 1 [Name] HON.

YOUNG IMPROVES Mrs. Lou Ella Young, 3556 Giles avenue, well known fraternally, is improving somewhat under the care of Dr. Homer P. Cooper. Scores of members of the various organizations to which she belongs have visited her at her residence during the two weeks of her illness. Miss Johnna Frazer, assistant music teacher at the V. N. & I. I., Petersburg, Va., was called to the city on account of the severe illness of her father, P. T. Frazer, 52 W. 35th street who is somewhat improved at this writing. Mrs. Theresa Schmidt-Harvey, 6008 S. May street, who has been ill of pneumonia for several weeks and under the care of Dr. Wilson, is rapidly recovering and hopes to be back on duty at an early date. MISS BAXTER OUT Miss Alpha Baxter, 420 E. 48th place, is able to be out again after being confined to her home and bed for several weeks on account of appendicitis. Miss Baxter was under the care of Dr. Wilson. IN OFFICE AGAIN Miss Annie Hill of Evanston, Ill., is in the office again as stenographer to Attorney Walter M. Farmer, 184 W. Washington street, after an illness of six weeks. VISITS SISTER Mra. Cora Franks of Lake Forest, Ill., spent the week in the city visiting her sister and other relatives at 420 E. 48th place. IN THE CITY RECOVERING who is a real clerk in one of the largest stores in Florida, and he himself is a man of means, and a heavy property owner. He is a deacon in the Baptist church, and a man of worth and wealth. His wife is a wonderful woman. We all regret to know that Dr. J. W. Rankin, has failed in health, and he is not able to attend to the affairs of the Missionary Department of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I think that the Board will meet on time, look over the affairs, and then when the Bishops meeting in New York in June, that they will appoint an assistant secretary or some man to take charge. I would recommend to them the Rev. Noah Williams, D. D., pastor of Quinn Chapel, Louisville, Ky. Of course they have decided to meet in Louisville in 1924, and all the people will be pleased to see this young giant the secretary of missions. He knows the business. Rev. Tanner was in the race, but now he has decided that he wants the higher place, that of bishop, and he is a deserving character. But I am not here to take up your time in talking church politics, for Rev. S. J. Johnson is to be the secretary of the Church Extension, and there will be some other surprises. I will keep you posted. At this writing Daniel Murphy, the son of Editor John H. Murphy, of the Afro-American, Baltimore, is very ill at his home. I am sorry to know this. But not at his home, he is in Florida, and his father is right by his side. Dan is a smart young man, and we hope he will be restored to health. I will bring this letter to a stop and if you want to reach me with a letter, send it care Prof. N. W. Collier, St. Augustine, Florida. M. American in Cook County, who will for County Commissioner. CHIPS Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thomas, 3657 Giles avenue, celebrated their twenty-seventh wedding anniversary Monday, February 27th. Mrs. Thomas prepared an elaborate 'dinner for her husband, Mr. Thomas, and a few of their intimate friends, in honor of the occasion. Miss Anne Elizabeth Crosthwaite, dean of Girls' Summer High School, St. Louis, Mo., was, the past week, the house guest of her friend, Miss Beatrice E. Lee, 5259 South Dearborn street. Miss Crosthwaite greatly enjoyed her visit to this city and returned to her home in St. Louis Sunday evening. Miss Nellie D. Callaway, 3300 Rhodes avenue, who is one of the most successful lady politicians in the second ward, continues to make rapid strides forward in her race for the nomination for the state legislature from the third senatorial district of Illinois. Living Room Important A living room of all rooms in the home is the most important, and one writer says: "Furnishing a living room is like starting out on a voyage of discovery." This room should be furnished with thought for the need and comfort of each individual member of the family. Give to the master of the household a comfortable fireside chair, a table beside that chair on which he can place a paper, magazine, book or any other things that he may wish there; give him his own reading lamp and a comfortable stool in front of his chair. Much in a Name. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but—there is a lovely rambler rose known as "Lady Gay."
