Prior to the last stormy meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fort Dearborn Hospital on January 26, 1922, and at the first meeting of the newly elected members of the Board of Trustees November 22, 1921, before we would consent to become one of the members of the executive committee, we informed all of the officers and trustees present at the meeting that the very first thing that we would want to do would be to remove the women's six-bed ward from the main or ground floor of the hospital, that it had no basement under it, and that the thin cement floor rested right flat on the ground and that it was always damp and cold, which was unhealthy and unsanitary for a well person, without saying anything about a person who was sick or who enjoyed poor health; that it did not show good taste or culture or refinement to have the door wide open leading into that large room or ward so that anyone in passing through the main-hallway would have no trouble in gazing in upon the sick and scantily clad, helpless women patients. After we had plainly set forth our views along that line and declared that it was not the proper thing to have any of the wards on the main or the damp basement floor of the hospital which caused it to resemble a butcher shop, our distinguished friend, Dr. M. J. Brown, finally admitted that what we had stated in relation to the basement on the main floor being damp, at least part of the time, was true. Not long before that time, he went on to say, one of the women patients who had been confined in that ward contracted a severe cold from the dampness coming up through the floor which transformed itself into pneumonia, and which contributed to her death. The death of that woman pa- POST GRADUATE COURSE IN MEDICINE, SURGERY AND NURSING To Be Held at Tuskegee Institute, April 1 to 30 Eleventh Annual Clinic and Fifth Annual Meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society To Be Held April 3, 4, 5 Tuskegee Institute—The second annual post graduate course in medicine and surgery at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, of Tuskegee Institute, will open April 1 and continue through April 30. At the same time a post graduate course in nursing will be conducted and on April 3, 4 and 5 the eleventh annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society will be held. The post graduate course in medicine and Surgery is open to all registered physicians and surgeons, and will consist of instruction and practice in the most modern theories of medicine and surgical methods. The hospital staff will be assisted in conducting the course by some of the most prominent physicians and surgeons in the country, including professors of some of the leading medi- THE BROAD AX tient simply showed that we had the correct conception in relation to maintaining a women's ward on the main or the basement floor of the hospital. Coming on back to the last meeting of the Board of Trustees January 26, 1922, it was not long after 12 o'clock before the stormy meeting wound up in disorder. Dr. M. J. Brown and Mr. Alfred Clover tumbled to the mat together in hurling charges back and forth at each other. Mr. Clover claimed that Dr. Brown and some of his associates acted in bad faith some way or other at the time that he donated $1,100 to the Fort Dearborn Hospital. Notwithstanding that fact, Mr. Clover was willing to advance $1,000 that very night in order to take care of the monthly current bills providing the doctors would sign papers releasing their interest in the hospital so that it would-become a public institution as they agreed to do at the time that the $100,000 drive was on for the benefit of the Fort Dearborn Hospital. For some cause or other, Dr. M. J. Brown, Dr. B. R. Bluitt, Dr. C. W. Bibb and Mr. C. Crook absolutely refused to sign away their interest in the hospital and accept notes for their money, which would be endorsed by Mr. Alfred Clover and by the other officers of the Board of Trustees. Hon. George B. Holmes, Hon. Henry Stuckart and Hon. Emmett Whealan were present and each one of them let it be known that they were ready and willing to contribute $100 each to the hospital. As stated before, the meeting ended in a bad mess or colored row. Dr. Brown lead in the bitter fight against the members of the executive committee and when it finally wound up that was the end of the newly elected officers and trustees of the Fort Dearborn Hospital. The course in nursing, which is open to registered nurses, will consist of practically every phase of this profession, including hospital management, operating room technique and surgical nursing, private nursing, public health nursing, and sex hygiene, with the allied branches of each course. As in the course of medicine spared in the effort to secure competent instructors to assist in conducting this course. Present indications are that many physicians and surgeons and graduate nurses will take advantage of the opportunities offered by these courses. The John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, which is of Grade A rank, is splendidly equipped to conduct the post graduate courses, and the location and prestige of the hospital as well as of the annual clinics will furnish ample practice as is demonstrated by the fact that during the post graduate course in medicine and surgery last year, 1,136 patients were treated, including 64 successful major operations. Dr. John A. Kenney, director of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, announced that the post graduate courses had received the approval of CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 393 PEC HON.

Among those who lectured to the physicians attending last year were: Dr. J. Whitridge Williams, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md.; Dr. Frank R. Ober and Dr. James S.

SENATOR OVERMAN ACCUSED OF WATCHING A LYNCHING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has made public a published accusation that Senator Overman of North Carolina had "looked interestedly on" during the lynching of three Negroes taken by a mob from the Rowan County jail in North Carolina. Senator Overman is a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which is considering the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, passed on January 26 by the House of Representatives. The charge against Senator Overman will be laid before that committee, the Advancement Association has announced. The charge against Senator Overman is taken from the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News of February 28, 1922, which says editorially: "Lynchings take place in North Carolina, except in the very rarest instances, whenever and wherever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them. And Governor Morrison knows it. And the trash and off-scourings of humanity which make up the personnel of these villainous murder gangs most often are neither friends nor relatives 'of the outraged persons' and Governor Morrison rison knows that. What 'friends or relatives' either of the 'outraged persons' or of his excellency, who speaks so knowingly of mob habits, broke into that Charlotte Hospital and lynched that wounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lyerlys broke into Rowan jail while Judge Long was there with a governor's high commission to hold a special court, took six Negroes from the jail, lynched three, and without interest enough to wear masks, save for the brute faces of the several executioners, and got away with it while Judge Long, Congressman Hammer, Congressman Klutz and United States Senator Overman, Sheriff Julian and thirteen special deputies and the Rowan Rifles looked interestedly on? Senator Overman is reported to be bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. A strong movement should be started at once to make or compel Senator Overman to hot-foot it out of the United States Senate, for it seems to us that he should not be permitted to bring reproach upon the members of the United States Senate and everlasting disgrace upon himself for aiding and abetting in a lynching. EDITOR. MR. BERT A. WILLIAMS, THE GREATEST COLORED COMEDIAN IN THE WORLD, HAS PASSED ON OUT OF THIS LIFE New York City.—On Saturday evening, Bert A. Williams, who was the most famous colored comedian in the wide world, closed his eyes in death at his beautiful home in that city. His dutiful and devoted wife, Mrs. Williams, who spent the holidays in this city with her many friends, was at his bedside at the time of his death. Pneumonia was the cause of his passing on out. He had been in poor health for more than one year. A few days ago he completely collapsed on the stage in Detroit, Mich., and was forced to leave his company, which was pres- presenting "Under the Bamboo Tree." He was removed to his home in New York City and blood transfusion was resorted to in a vain effort to save his life but he continued to sink lower and lower, and at last failing to rally, when the end came. Mr. Williams, who was 46 years old, came to this country from Nassau, British West Indies, when a child. He worked at old jobs about New York theaters in his youth and after serving an enlistment in the United States army went on the stage. He began his career as a banjo player with a minstrel show. Then he and his partner, George Walker, went into variety, as it was called in those days, and made a name along the Pacific coast. In recent years Mr. Williams was engaged by Ziegfeld for several of his "Follies" productions. He had a comedy method of his own. The slow, shambling gait, the balanced intonation, the clear diction, the skillful pauses, are familiar to the theatergoers. Mr. Williams was well known in this city and he had thousands of friends among its white and colored citizens alike. Only recently he filled a long successful engagement at one of the leading downtown theaters. May he find favor in the sight of the Gods throughout eternity! SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL WEDNESDAY EVENING IN THE INTEREST OF THE PASSAGE OF THE DYER-ANTI-LYNCHING BILL BY THE U.S. SENATE. Alderman Robert R. Jackson Ably Presided and Read the Contents of the Bill Resolutions Were Drawn Up and Passed, Urging Senators Medill McCormick and William B. McKinley to Work and Vote for Its Passage GOVERNORS OF SOME OF THE LEADING STATES IN THE UNION; MAYORS OF SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT CITIES; ROMAN CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT BISHOPS AND MANY COLLEGE PRESIDENTS ARE AMONG THE SIGNERS OF THE ANTI-LYNCHING MEMORIAL TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE. The following Memorial to the United States Senate was read and adopted at an Anti-Lynching Mass Meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, New York, on the evening of March 1, the meeting being addressed by Senator William M. Calder of New York, Representative Leonidas C. Byer of Missouri, who introduced the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives; by former Attorney General George W. Wickersham, and by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The killing and burning alive of human beings by mobs in the United States is a reproach upon our country throughout the civilized world and threatens organized government in the nation. Since 1889 there have been 3443 known mob murders, 64 of the victims being women. In only a few instances has prosecution of the lynchers been even attempted. American mobs murdered sixty-four persons in 1921, of whom four were publicly burned at stake. The House of Representatives on January 26, 1922, in response to insistent country-wide demand, passed the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which invokes the power of the federal government to end the infamy of American mob murder. This bill is now in the hands of the United States Senate. The undersigned United States citizens earnestly urge its prompt enactment. Among the signers of the Memorial are the following: Governors—Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona, William D. Denny of Delaware, Len Small of Illinois, Warran T. McCray of Indiana, Edwin P.

It is not tru that’ one’s character, habits or dispo sition can be determined by what on eats, It is true that all people shoule be educated in the things that give them a mind for excellent distinction: and fine discriminations in the choice ‘of food that must be nourishing te the tissues and stimulating to the brain and heart, also providing strength for tendons, bone and mus cle. Food that is of a mature tha assures easy digestion and assimila tion upon which perfect metabolism depends. The vastness of human ignorance is emphasized very pertinently on the subject of food and its uses. Many people should match their appetite: with their tempéraments. A food that in no instance should be eaten by people who are sick may, on the other hand, be improper for a great many who are well. Health is an evidence of bodily re- sistances to disease. Our bodies are so constituted that we readily absorb the unfit poisons, generate gases and fermentations that wreck the physical foundation which conduces to illness, the result of ruthless violation of Na- ture’s laws. Ignorance is always to be found the cause, but even the rigors of death can not be excused because some person tried to digest or as- similate unfit articles of food. Alll foods are energy and heat pro- ducers, but the proteins also fulfill an important part.in the building up and replacement of bodily structures. It always will be found that even the ignorancé of a king who may suf- fer with the gout and the bootblack who suffers from diabetes are put in the same cencgt violators of great Nature's! law stomach should always be ae sensible if not scien~ tific consideration by those who un- fortunately lige merely to eat, instead of eating merely to live. The ignorant person demands a full or knowledge of what forces are stimulated of what organs are de- pressed. The educated person uses his meat, eggs, fish, cheese, rice, ap- ples or nuts just as he would use a simple rule of arithmetic to work a problem.

Mr. Mueller is one of the most popular German-Ameri- can Republicans in Cook County and being a high-class busingss man, the S majority of the voters residing in this city and county made no mis- ‘take when they elected him one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. Mr. Mueller has been an honored resident of this great city since 1883, and his first émployment was in the Union Stock Yards. With various companies he remained in the yards until 1902, when he was appointed Real Estate Deputy in the Board of Review. He served ably in this ca- pacity until 1909 when he was elected ‘Alderman from the 29th Ward. Later he established the real estate firm of Matt. A. Mueller & Co, and won recognition as a business man of en- ergy and honesty. ‘He is a man of family and a mem- her of the Modern Woodmen, Na- tional Union, the Plattdeutchen Guild, was a member of the Knights of La- bor and a member of other fraternal and benevolent organizations. It can be stated in all honesty and truthfulness that Mr. Mueller, as one of the Trustees of the Sanitary Dis- trict of Chicago, has made an honor- able record for efficiency in the faith- ful discharge of all of his duties as such, and he can rest assured that he will be renominated for Sanitary Trustee as a part of his reward for services well rendered in the past by a majority of the voters at the pri- maries Tuesday, April 11. of what constitutes the provision for tissue building there will be weak, frail, scrawny, glandular unfortunate: with bent bodies and twisted legs, the very expression of Nature violated emphasized in these numberless un- fortunates among the poor and’ im- provident. Something should be done by the movies, the churches and other civic institutions to give the public the needed instruction on food and diges- tion. We are to regard the stomach and its purposes from the analytical stand- point and ever foster the principles of civilized humanity in our manners, customs, conduct and character. The ‘stomach and alimentary tract should merit just consideration in ‘our choos- ing the victuals that are to give us not only nourishment and strength for a vigorous and active healthy body but to maintain us against the encroachments of old age and the ill- nesses of senility and decrepitude. ee MR. WILLIAM F. HARRAH RE- SIGNS AS SERGEANT-AT- ARMS OF CITY COUNCIL He Has Been Selected as General Secretary of All the Council ‘Committees | At the last regular meeting of the City Council, Mr. William F. Harrah, who succeeded the late William E. Brown in 1916 as Sergeant-at-Arms of the City Council, who started on west at that time, never to return to this earth again, resigned his position which he had faithfully filled to the entire satisfaction of all the city fath- ers, at the present time ‘and during the past Mr. Harrah has been for a long time one of the most popular men in thg City Hall. He always greets all comers with a broad pleasant smile and with a glad extended hand; and whenever any of the city fathers would get to arguing strong and loud and. felt like going to the mat with each other, Sergeant-at-Arms Har- rah always succeeded in pouring plenty of his smooth oil on the trou- bled waters, and he has always been able to quiet the city fathers down without laying his strong arm of au- thority upon them. When it became known in the City Couneil that Mr. Harrah had been Promoted to be general secretary in charge of all the committees of the City Council, Alderman John Pow- ers, the dean or the venerable father of that body, arcse and moved that a rising vote of thanks be extended to Mr. Harrah “for six years of in- defatigable service in the Council's behalf,” and in an instant every al- derman was on his feet, many of them calling for a speech from Mr. Harrah, but he ducked out and could not be found. ‘Mr. Thomas J.

For 87 years Uncle David’s knowl- ‘edge has been limited to such infor- mation as he could acquire through personal contact with men and af- fairs. But now in a hand shaky with age and unformed through experience but still legible, Uncle David writes, “T can read and write my name.” Last year Uncle David was num- bered among the state’s 100,000 illiter- ates. Now through the efforts of County Superintendent Fred McCuis- tion the teachers of Ashley county and the Forward Educational Move- ment, illiteracy has been lowered to the extent of Uncle David at least. E. B. Tucker, assistant director in charge of the Forward Educational Movement, said that Uncle David's case illustrates ideally the ambition of the Forward Education Movement among the race and of other state agencies for the eradication of illiter- acy. It illustrates the direct and prac- tical value of “opportunity schools.” These schools are institutions oper- ated by the regular teaching staffs after school hours for the benefit of adult illiterates and in Ashley county, the school Uncle David is attending has 33 other students regularly on the roll. Uncle David's age is more or less a matter of guesswork as he does not know himself the year in which he was born, but he is conservatively estimated to be 87. He was born a slave on an Alabama plantation, but has lived in his present home for 40 years, and will continue in school, | he says, until he is a “scholar.” INJUNCTION GRANTED VIRGINIA GRAND LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Nine Years Fight Still in Court Richmond, Va—Grand Chancellor John Mitchell Jr., on behalf of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, has secured from the Su- preme Court of the District of Colum- bia, Mr. Justice Jennings Baily pre- siding, another injunction which is drastic in its provisions in protecting it from the proclamation of Supreme Chancellor S.

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 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL FEASTING ON ORANGES AND OTHER GOOD FRUITS AND BASKING IN THE WARM SUNSHINE DOWN IN FLORIDA. Orlando, Fla.—Daniel A. Murphy has paid the debt we all must sooner or later pay. We cannot never get used to this dying business although people are dying every day in the week and every hour in the day. We do not feel it so keenly though until it comes to our home and takes away some dear one belonging to us, and then we must stop and shed a tear for a short time, and then the world continues to move right along. Perhaps you do not know Daniel A. Murphy or did not know him when he lived on earth. He was a fine young man, and had charge of the composing room of the Afro-American, Baltimore, a position he has held for many years. He has grown right up with the paper and in his line he ranked with the experts. He took the time when young to get a thorough education in his line and then when he stepped out into life, he did not have to go back and ask some one what to do. He lived well yesterday. He made every day count for something, and when he began to fail in health, he could look back over his yesterdays, take an inventory, and exclaim: "I have lived well today; let tomorrow do its worst!" When the end came he had but to fold his arms and go right on home to God. He was an honest man, an industrious man, a man of thought and ability. I am glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him. I met him when he was yet a school boy, getting ready to meet life. He was active, and when he entered life he put his whole being into his work making each day count for something. His health has been failing for some time so this winter his father decided to give him a trip into the South land thinking that it would help him some. From Baltimore to Montgomery, Ala., over to Tuskegee, and then down to Atlanta, Jacksonville, Fla., and quarters had been engaged in St. Augustine, but he broke so that he could not make the trip and remained in Jacksonville to the end. His body was carried back to Baltimore for burial. His father, Editor John H. Murphy, remained with him to the last. He then accompanied the body to Baltimore. Bishop Hurst was there and rendered all assistance possible in that hour. He and Editor Murphy are good friends. Now, what are you doing for next month? Are you getting ready to be in Tuskegee April 5 to witness the unveiling of the monument erected to Booker T. Washington? I think it would be a nice thing for you to be there, for it is going to be one more big time there, and the people are going to be there from all parts of the civilized world. There will be big people from all the races, from all conditions of life, and there will be some wealth and some brains there. I expect to be there, but I will neither represent wealth nor brains, but I am just going along to be with the other gentlemen, and because I knew Dr. Booker T. Washington before he took his trip from earth to glory. I know Dr. Robert R. Moton right now, and I am going to shake hands with him before I shall leave. here myself. I am going to be with them big people, and I think I will feel like I am some pumkins myself. Honey, put it down in your book that I have been riding some lately, and if I don't stop I am liable to ride my fool brains out, but then that will be my business and none of yours, and it will be my brains not yours. Then you have no right to say I have fool brains. You can afford to attend to your own business. I made a trip from Jacksonville, Fla., to Denmark, S. C., to visit Voorhees normal and industrial college, to come in touch with Prof. Martin A. Menafew, the wonder of the age, and the man of doing things. It was to me a source of pleasure to drop in and take a look at him, and to see the large number of young people there are getting ready to take the place of man and woman. They are going to make this world take notice, and that makes me a proud man. I spent some little time there, and then made it to Savannah, where the banks there had failed. When I say banks I mean some of the banks operated by white folks, but our banks have been going right on and on. Mrs. Willie G. Hill, the widow of wealth and ability, met me at the station in her little lemonade and toted me out to her home where she served me some fish and oysters, and then I left for Jacksonville, again. I am not prepared to tell you all the things I saw there, nor all the people I met. I only remained there one night, and left for this place. You see I am here now, but will soon be away from here. I am the guest of Rev. H. K. Hill of the Baptist church. Perhaps you do not know Dr. H. K. Hill. He is some punkins in the Baptist church and has been doing some re work for his people in this section of the country. He is pastor of the Baptist church here, and a member of the trustee board of that school in Live Oak, Florida, and then he is interested in anything which means racial development and uplift. I have had the pleasure of knowing him and his great work for a long time. Right by the side of Dr. Hill is his wife, Mrs. Viola T. Hill, who is president of the convention here among the Baptist women and a woman of extraordinary ability. She has been doing things for years, and she continues to do them. She has the love of the women of this section of the world. I must not forget to tell you that I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. John E. Ford, in Jacksonville, but he could not have me spend a night in his home because he had had so much company during the winter, and some of them had remained two weeks or more, and all the bed linen had been placed in the laundry and his wife was not well. Of course, I did not think of wanting to spend a night in this home, for so many had been there already and had soiled all the bed linen he had, and from what I could learn had not left anything to have it washed. It certainly costs a man something to be somebody. I am sure that the smile which Editor W. L. Porter of the East Tennessee News is wearing now must put to blush the Gold Dust twins, and I do not blame him for this wonderful smile, for the good Lord has blessed him, and there is not only a wife in his home but there is a daughter, Dorothy Marion Louise, and she is there to remain, and will have full charge of the house. I am proud of this, and may they live many years yet to come. She will some day be writing editorials like her father. She will be pleading the cause of her people.

Every dollar you put in this bank works for you night and day. Your savings are safe here. Come in today—start with $1.00 ILLINOIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK La Salle and Jackson Streets Chicago 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. Bluitt, Dr. F. C. Cade, Dr. John W. Burrell and several other doctors 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 tottering or shaky institution for them. Not long after that time 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: Hon. 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. Jam:s W. Breen, First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago; Hon. Thos 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 uniting efforts in its behalf. 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 had 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- eral high-class white gentlemen present at the meetings of the Trustee Board, that the colored doctors would refrain from conducting themselves in such a roughhouse manner in the future. That statement or conclusion on 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 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 things 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. BOOK CHAT--BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON—CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL- ORED PEOPLE. AUTHOR OF "HALF A MAN," "HAZEL," "THE SHADOW," ETC. "THE LYNCHING BEE AND OTHER POEMS" have a bag or two of feathers, and mean only to tar and feather him? By William Ellery Leonard (Published by B. W. Huebsh, Inc., New York. Price with postage, $1.60.) William Ellery Leonard, the author of this volume, is a college professor now at the University of Wisconsin, a man of wide education and learning. He has translated Lucretius and Beowolf, has written upon Socrates and Shakespeare and many other great figures in literature. He has published a number of volumes of his own poetry. A man familiar with European thought as well as with that of England and his own country, it is interesting to note that in this, his last book, he sings of America's most terrible sin, the crime of lynching. And every time a man of this calibre turns upon his own race and shows it is in its baset aspect, we need to note and give thanks. For, after all, it is only when a race criticises itself that much good comes of the criticism. "The Lynching Bee" appeared first in the Nation and has now become the title poem for a volume of verse. It takes its place among twenty pieces each voicing some human wrong. They are in five groups. The first, "By Fire and Rope," contains "The Lynching Bee," "Leo Frank," and "A War Movie," describing the baiting of a German-American woman. The second, "By Court and Decree," contains "Tom Mooney," "Debs" and others. And the last three sections are grim war pictures of the sufferings alike of the soldier and the conscientious objector. The whole volume portrays a passionate resentment against wrong, expressed with the artistry of the poet. I reread "The Lynching Bee" last night and did not enjoy my dreams. It is an extraordinary poem, intensely modern, and yet lyrical in its expression. Here is no free verse enthusiast pouring out cadences, but a skilled rhymster, exquisitely precise in his use of words, who yet knows how to tell a story in verse that has more power to stir our vision than any moving picture. Nothing thrown on a screen could be more realistic or more full of suspense. "Honk, honk," go the automobiles. "Honk, honk!" "They stop—they jerk—they chug—they back, And in a monstrous ring they park, With ghostly cones converging from the dark, Upon a central tree all split and black, Whose limbs and leaves are covered out of sight In the eternity of night." Then they bring their victim: "A bandy-legged 'Nigger,' Quite jerky, but all silent down inside." The poet suggests that perhaps they do not mean to lynch the boy after all. Perhaps they will just play with him, and he recites all the buffoonery that the white man loves to show off in the black, the wagging of ears, the wrinkling of scalp, the butting of a thick skull against a tree trunk. Then they tie him against a tree, stripped, and smear him with hot tar. And again you are held in suspense with the question that perhaps they M. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN The Greatest Champion of the Civil and Political Rights of the Colored Race in America Today, Who Will Be Re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois. have a bag or two of feathers, and mean only to tar and feather him? But no. "With rags, and straw, and sticks, and other toys, In run the women-folk and girls and boys." And last comes the mother, the mother of the dead child, who is to light the match. She looks into the black face! "And the two glare and glare At one another In two eternities of hate and pain, Yet with such monstrous union in despair Such hideous sameness in their haggard shapes, The one, the other, That you would say the twain Seemed like a savage sister and twin brother Dying of hunger out among the apes." For what Leonard shows is not an innocent Negro but a criminal, neglected creature, made a brute by his surroundings. And when at length, we hear the boy's shrieks, the poet retails the agony of the life of the African and brought to this land. "The human ladings at the western coast, The slave-ship, and the storm at sea, * * * The million sweats, the million bloody whips, The million ankles, festering in a cord— The unborn baby still between the hips, The bent gray 'head along the rice- swamp, humming, 'O Massa Gawd, I'm coming.'" At last the victim dies, the motor cars back around the embers, and you are left with the whites, "wolves or wolf-like things," pawing in the cinders, and snatching a bit of rib or skull or crup. "They wrap them up And foot it off and down the road, Past the weasel, skunk, and toad, The barnyard rat, The hooting owl and the whirring bat." "I can't read such a poem," many people say. And this is the poet's answer, the answer that we all like to make when we are confronted with terrible things that we should remedy: It makes your eyes in their sockets ache, O squeamish listener, but think It's all a midnight dream, and no one is awake; And in the morning, with the bob-o-link.
