Aside from being vice president of the May Flower Club, she is prominently identified with the Easter Lily Club, which has more than three thousand members and which is one of the greatest organizations among colored women in the United States.

BROKER KRIEBEL NABBED ON “CON GAME” CHARGES Customer of Defunct Firm Causes Arrest Fred L. Kriebel, head of the brokerage firm of Kriebel & Co., which failed March 7 with liabilities of $4,000,000 was arrested Tuesday and for a short time detained at the detective bureau. He was charged with operating a confidence game. The arrest was made by Detective Sergeants Birmingham and McGinnis of the bureau. The warrant was sworn out by Gus D. Golding, 3411 Ogden avenue, a roofing contractor. Kriebel gave his age as 43 and Winnetka as his home. Bond was furnished by Leonard R. Hoach, a Winnetka real estate dealer. Charges "Con" Game Attorney, Sidney Baumburger, appearing for Golding, charged Kriebel had been guilty of a confidence game in taking $1,236 from Golding and failing to fulfill promises made at the time. Kriebel was summoned before Referee in Bankruptcy Wean Tuesday afternoon to testify in the bankruptcy proceedings against the firm. According to W. W. Wheelock, receiver assets are few and hard to find. Edward Tilden, investment banker, and son of Williamm A. Tilden, also was called to testify. It is said that Kriebel conducted many transactions through Mr. Tilden's firm. Hints of concealed assets were heard at the hearing and the rumors will be investigated. Used Other Firm's Name Thomas W. Luebker, secretary and treasurer of the firm, was called to Mr. Wean's offices as a witness. He stated that Kriebel & Co. carried accounts with other firms under the name of T. W. Luebker & Co. "Why. that name?" he was asked. "Because Kriebel & Co. did not have a good name among some of the other firms," he answered. Postal inspectors began a thorough investigation of the firm. They had been informed there is a possibility it used the mails to defraud, they said. Patrons say that they bought stock on the part payment plan, paying 20 per cent, and following with monthly payments. They received dividends, but investigators say that Kriebel & Co. did not really purchase the stock ordered. According to the government authorities, this constitutes a fraud. It is further charged that the firm knew it was insolvent six months before bankruptcy proceedings were instituted, but continued to receive payments from its patrons through the mails. Thousands of Investors It is estimated there are thousands of cases where people invested their savings with Kriebel & Co., and Receiver W. W. Wheelock can find no stock in the assets of the firm. Mr. Franklin V. Babb was the leading colored man representing Kriebel & Co. on the South Side. He never advertised to the extent of one penny in the columns of this newspaper but on the other hand he placed all of his advertising in the columns of the greatest weekly newspaper in the world which enabled Kriebel & Co. to skin the short-sighted colored people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.—Editor. JUDGE SHERIDANE. FRY, PRESIDING OVER THE SMALL CLAIMS BRANCH OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO; IN 1914 ENTERED UP JUDGMENT FOR TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND COST IN FAVOR OF JULIUS F. TAYLOR, AND AGAINST FORMER ALDERMAN JOSEPH A. SWIFT, WHO WAS DEFEATED FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE 30TH WARD AT THE ALDERMANIC ELECTION IN 1914. It can be truthfully stated that in our long experience in coming in contact with politicians, extending over a period of more than twenty years, that we can cheerfully testify that we have always found the vast majority of them to be honest in their statements in reference to paying their newspaper bills for advertising. Sometimes some of them may be slow in settling up their indebtedness but they generally get it right just the same and frequently a few of them have been unable to square up everything until six months or one year after they were either elected or defeated. But those who are honest, who desire to deal fairly with their fellow men will in the end come up with the right thing for they regard newspaper advertising as a commercial proposition or transaction and no one can successfully play at the game of politics nor succeed in the business world very long unless they half way play the game square. With much pride it can be further honestly stated that we always endeavor to deal square with the politicians and if we give them our word and honor that we will do so and so or that we will not do so and so, as the case might be, we always manage to keep our word with them and that counts for a great deal in the long run. Right at this point it might not be out of place to state that after doing business with Democrats and Republican politicians in this city during the period mentioned above only two of them have deliberately and in a cold blooded manner attempted to beat or skin us out of the mney which they honestly owed us for advertising in the columns of The Broad Ax, namely the Hon. Anton J. Cermak, the would-be sheriff of Cook County and he has the great distinction of being the first person with the rotten ruling of Judge John R. Caverly to put it over on us in that respect. It was a good thing that the Hon. Anton J. Cermak owed us such a small sum of money for if it had been a larger amount we would have appealed the case to the appellate court and beat him and Judge Caverly to a dead stand still. HON. MORRIS ELLER, CHAIRMAN OF THE CROWE COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION HAS SELECTED MRS. MARGARET GAINOR AS 'HIS SECRETARY Wednesday, all the colored people frequenting the Crowe headquarters in the Briggs House were highly delighted when they learned that Hon. Morris Eller, one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, and the wise and fairseeing chairman of the Crowe Committee on organization, had selected Mrs. Margaret Gainor as secretary of the committee. It is the first time in the history of Cook County that any of the big Republican politicians have been broad or liberal minded enough to select a colored woman to such an important position. Two weeks prior to the aldermanic primaries in the spring of 1914, our phone rang early one morning and the voice on the other end of the wire said this is "Attorney Walter T. Stanton, and I wish to inform you that Alderman Joseph A. Swift wants to see you at his place of business, South Halsted street and 54th place; call in to see him this morning," which we did and during our conversation with Alderman. Swift he requested us to call on his lawyer, Mr. Walter T. Stanton, and he would give us his double column newspaper cut and an article in favor of his re-nomination for Alderman of the 30th Ward. The article and cut of Alderman Swift appeared in the columns of this paper the Saturday before the primaries and the Alderman and Mr. Stanton liked it very much and thought it would do him a great deal of good among the colored people residing in the 30th Ward. That same Saturday evening before the primaries a citizens' meeting was held at St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, 53rd and South Dearborn streets and residing in the 30th Ward at that time we attended the meeting and Mr. Stanton insisted that we should preside over the meeting which we did and informed the colored people that it was only a local contest, that Alderman Swift had in the past been fair in his dealings with the colored people; that he had cheerfully done many favors for them, that he had endeavored to keep the streets and alleys clean, where the majority of the colored people resided and that he was morally entitled to receive at least some of the votes of the colored people on primary day. Alderman Swift was unable to attend the meeting himself, for he did not arrive at the church until a few minutes after the last person had left the church but Mr. Stanton and former Alderman Michael McNerney informed him that we had presided over the meeting and had spoken very quietly in favor of his re-nomination and Alderman Swift heartily thanked us for doing so and at the same time he requested us to call in and see him Monday, Feb. 22, which was Washington's Birthday.

CHARLES KECK DESIGNS MONUMENT TO BOOKER WASHINGTON CHARLES KECK DESIGNS MONUMENT TO BOOKER WASHINGTON Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va. — "Charles Keck, Sculptor"—these words appear inconspicuously on the base of the great bronze figure of the Booker T. Washington Monument, which will be unveiled on April 5 at Tuskegee Institute. They suggest, however, the story of an ambitious American boy, who, after leaving the public schools of New York City, went to the Art Students' League and studied at night for seven or eight years. For three years Charles Keck worked with Philip Martiny, a well-known sculptor of New York, who did fine work for the World's Fair in Chicago. For five years he worked with Augustus St. Gaudens, while this famous sculptor was making his Peter Cooper for New York, his Robert Gould Shaw for Boston, his General Logan for Chicago, his President Garfield for Philadelphia, and his General Sherman for New York. In 1900 Charles Keck competed for a scholarship in sculpture, offered by the American Academy in Rome. In 1904 he was graduated from the Academy, after a most successful student record for excellence in work. He remained a year longer in Rome and returned to the United States in 1905 to begin his independent professional career as a sculptor. Since 1905 Charles Keck has been a busy, happy man. He has given himself entirely to his art, but has not become the least eccentric. He has worked by day and by night, regardless of the pleas of his friends. J. B. HON. JAMES H.

Washington is to carry away the picture of a man who stood up straight and firm under the heavy burden of millions of Negroes, who carried in the deep lines of his forehead the signs of victorious struggle, and who cared less for clothes than for service to his fellow-men. Those who knew Doctor Washington in the flesh and saw him often in action, driving home, with the effect of heavy artillery fire or with the gentleness of subtle humor, the lessons of good farming, good health, and good citizenship—and, above all, self-restraint in the face of injustice or racial misunderstanding—will rejoice that Charles Keck has made this Booker T. Washington monument at Tuskegee which is a veritable masterpiece of the sculptor's art. While Doctor Washington worked immediately for the Negroes of the United States and less directly for 400,000,000 Negroes throughout the world, he did yeoman and invaluable educational service for other races in teaching men, women and children the simple lessons of thrift, good health, better farming, and, above all, racial good-will and co-operation. Mr Keck's Work Wins on Merit The work for which Mr. Keck is already well known in art circles is found in widely scattered centers: A twelve-foot figure of Mohammedanism—the Koran resting on the sword, the spiritual resting on the earthly, the religion of the sword—which he designed for the Brooklyn (New York) Institute of Arts and Sciences. A twelve-foot seated figure of Youthful America, which is the Soldier Memorial in Pittsburgh. A monument of George Washington for Buenos Aires, South America. Sculpture work for the New York State Education Building at Albany, N. Y., including two base-reliefs, each one having twenty-eight heads of children at study, and a large memorial bas-relief of Andrew Sloan Draper, former New York State Commissioner of Education. An in memorial tablet for the "U. S. S. Maine." An honor roll for the employees of the Brooklyn (New York) Post Office, who joined the military forces of the United States in the World War. The Lewis and Clarke Monument and the Stonewall Jackson Monument, both erected in Chorlottesville, Va., and both widely acclaimed as masterpieces of sculpture. A memorial tablet to the U. S. Telegraph Corps of Alleghany, Pa. A sixty-five foot monument, which the American Chamber of Commerce of Brazil will present next September to the government of Brazil at its centennial celebration. The base, which is in bronze, is the figure of friendship—a twenty-foot figure of liberty which is holding the standards of the United States and Brazil. At the base are bas-reliefs typifying the independence of the United States and Bonifacio's famous cry of "Give me independence or death." Tuskegee Is Educational Mecca There are thousands upon thousands of Americans, as well as foreigners, too, who in time will give thanks that so true an artist as Charles Keck created the Booker T. Washington Monument at Tuskegee Institute, which has become one of the great educational meccas of the world. Mr. Keck has succeeded admirably in giving the world a statue of Booker T. Washington which is as simple, forceful, and enduring as the great founder and beloved principal of Tuskegee was simple, forceful and enduring. The Booker T. Washington Monument, which will be unveiled in the presence of a host of men and women who represent all that is best and most enduring in our American life, will tell, to the end of time, a new-old story to those men and women who are wise enough to realize the fundamental value of honest work enduring patience and unfailling goodwill. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, president of the General Education Board, will deliver the Founder's Day address. TULSA MOB CUTS OFF NEGRO'S EAP Tulsa, Okla. — John Smitherman, Negro, former deputy sheriff and policeman, was seized early on Friday by a band of white men, forced into an automobile and spirited to the country, was found at Claremore and brought to Tulsa, authorities announced. One of Smitherman's ears had been cut off and the Negro severely beaten. He was lodged in the county jail for safe keeping.

MUELLER WILL BE RENOMINATED AND RE-ELECTED TRUSTEES OF THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO. Hon. James H. Lawley, Republican candidate for renomination for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, has for the past six years honestly and faithfully served all the people residing in this city and county in that capacity. Mr. Lawley is a native of this great city, being born in it in 1876. He received his education in its public schools and later on graduated from the Illinois College of Law with high honors. For ten years he was one of the highly honored members of the city council from the Fourteenth Ward, ably serving on its finance committee and other important committees of that body with the unqualified endorsement of all the leading civic bodies in this city. For many years he has been prominent in benevolent and fraternal work. He is an honored member of the Phi Alpha Delta League fraternity, Garden City Lodge A. F. & A.M., York Chapter, 148, R. A. M., Columbia Commandery No. 63, Medinah Temple A. A. C. N. M. S., Knights of Pythias, Loyal Order of Moose, National Union, and Fraternal Order of Eagles. In 1916 Mr. Lawley was chosen one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago and in every way he has amply proven himself to be worthy to be renominated on Tuesday, April 11, for his present responsible position. Hon. Matt. A. M. Mueller, warm associate and running mate of Mr. Law- GETTING AN UNDERSTANDING By Dr. M. A. Majors The difficulties that have for so long and so often arisen between the races of mankind are gradually being removed. Nations have seen because of the threats of war, which have so long hung over governments like a cloud of death and despair, the great need of reaching an understanding. Learning from each other the paths of peace that the preadventure might make possible a perpetual peace and remove from the situation the possibilities of war. What has heretofore applied to nations and governments also may apply to races living in the same community and in the same neighborhood. Amicable relations should exist among all the races, because all of the elements that compose nations and races should, if they do not, enjoy equal blessings of community life, since they are all compelled to pay taxes, and assume obligations and responsibilities of citizens in the self same degree. Now since all races represent the good and the bad, the high and the low, the educated and the uneducated the thrifty and the improvident, the rich and the poor, does it not seem that some kind of understanding should be reached by the whites and the blacks? Of course when it comes to the matter of housing and favorable neighborhoods, where children may have the better environment, the Negro thinks of what his money can pay for, and he wants the best he can get for it. It is not a matter of a difference of races, but it is a matter of conserving the best interests of the industrious citizen who has been guaranteed equal rights before the law. Every man should be given credit for having an upreaching spirit, even if he should desire to journey beyond the distance of the farthest star. In the matter upon which we have just written the Negro differs from the emigrant races of Southern Europe. He wants the best to be gotten for the money, and he is willing to pay the price. The color situation has been aggravated a bit by the people of the underworld whose social status is of such a nature that it is fearfully misleading. People representing the low types of humanity are decidedly out of consideration and should be unwelcome in any community or neighborhood. Because a family happens to be a little brown, mulato, or black, should not be a reason for restraint as to becoming favorably located, provided they are up on the common graces, and portray respectability, cleanliness and thrift. We as a people feel worse the horrors of white prostitutes in the Second Ward, and the hell holes allowed to run riot, and flourish under the nose of our sons and daughters, than the hell bent spirit of devilish hatred fostered by the white family who would run because a respectable colored family was moving in next door. Why shouldn't we look out for better homes, better environment and a purer and cleaner atmosphere for our children to breathe? It was the hope of Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, Miss Mary McDowell, Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Dr. Geo. Bernard ley, was also elected as one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago in 1916. Mr. Mueller is one of the most popular German-American Republicans in Cook County and being a high-class business man, the vast majority of the voters residing in this city and county made no mistake 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 employment 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 capacity 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 energy and honesty. He is a man of family and a member of the Modern Woodmen. National Union, the Plattdeutchen Guild, was a member of the Knights of Labor 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 District of Chicago, has made an honorable record for efficiency in the faithful 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 primaries Tuesday, April 11. Foster, Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Judge Edward Osgood Brown, Mayor William Hale Thompson, Congressman Martin B. Madden and other gifted souls of the white race that the racial lines should be given a decent consideration, and that a better understanding might come out of occasional meetings of the better elements of our civilization to the end that knowing each other we would be compelled by the light of true knowledge to treat each other with equal and exact justice, the conduct of respectable humanity. THE COLORED GIRL By Dr. M. A. Majors She is wonderful. Carries a heavier weight in matters of moral attributes than any other race of girls. Holds her head up, believes in herself and accepts with excellent grace the debt she owes to mankind. She knows that she is the safety, valve of the Negro race in spite of the contempt and skull duggery she is compelled to overcome and beat back among the men of her own blood, besides a hurricane of infamy and scoundrelism she has to rise above in all of the other races who assiduously are ever engaged in rascality to ruin and destroy her. How terrible and terrifying it must be for her to know that mankind is not to be trusted. That men of her own race disregard the preachments of a pure womanhood, mock with treacherous tongues, virtue and character. What time has she to build upon the holy principles of humanity when the ugly imprecations of demons are eloquent in frenzied speech to drag her down? She would be free, and hold a pure name given her in the righteous sanction of marriage, in spite of the marauding nature of mankind to drive her from the pedestal of a noble life. Hardship has been lain in her pathway to weaken and kill her angel spirit. The devil has ornamented some good-for-nothing rascal with a nasty smile with which proud womanhood must contend. The monstrous intelligence of humanity has been commissioned to outwit the purest, simplest, little girl. Wealth and the soft touches of filmsy garment and the warmth of downy comforts, wines from the foreign countries, drinks of little devil-heads of bourbon rye, and juniper in great abundance to kill the hopes of fond parents by the sad destruction of some fair idol of the fireside. The girl has so often fought her battle and won against the craftiest infamy that ever disgraced a debased wretch. Single handed she has put some real devils to flight by her glorious womanhood. It has been decreed that the bounds of human social safety can not reach further than virtue goes; that being the case, gold is discredited and barter infamous, woman rich in her innocence, sweet with the honey of truth and the nectar of human nobility, stands triumphant in the radiance of her purity.

"JIM CROWISM" AT WINCHES TER. VIRGINIA The celebrated Negro actor, Chas. S. Gilpin, and his company ran into Jim-Crow territory while on his way here a few days ago. He was riding on a Pennsylvania train and when he reached Clearbrook the conductor informed him that the laws required that he should go into the coach set apart for Negroes. Mr. Gilpin argued the question without success. When the conductor assisted, Mr. Gilpin showed his manhood by leaving the company with the other members of his company and riding the out of distance by automobile. Truly Jim Crow is no respector of persons tails upon the good and the bad, just and the unjust, the somebodies and the nobodies alike, that is, if a Negro strain can be detected.

STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL SPENDING CONSIDERABLE TIME IN FLORIDA. HE WILL STRIKE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA, APRIL 3RD. Arcadia, Florida.—If you could just drop down into Florida at this time of the year you would see God in nature, and get a greater conception of God, and then here and there you would get a good idea of the devil in his kingdom directing men on earth, some of them calling themselves, the superior man, the man made by God to rule His earth, and if you were not strong, it would drive you into infidelity and land you right square in hades or some other hot clime presided over by his satanic majesty, "King Devil." In some part of Florida as well as in Georgia, me and my people have a helau time and it is hard to tell at times just where in the 'll this thing will end. For I saw advertized in the daily paper—in fact it was sent out by the Associated Press—that there was going to be a lynching in Georgia last week. I said a lynching, but it announced that the man would be burned at the stake, and if I have said something that don't belong to Sunday School and in the quarterlies at this time, God will forgive me and you will do so because of the occasion. Here we are in a civilized country a country which boasts of its high culture and civilization, the country which boasts of "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave," yet announcing through the public press the burning of a human being at the stake, just as if it was going to be a grand circus, or some other great festival. Going to cook human flesh, barbacue it, and then let it go to waste. Every man who took part should be forced to eat some of it, and I will bet you a dollar he would not want to join another burning. In the face of this blot on civilization there are men and women who would fight against a law which would prevent this kind of disgrace. Pass the Dyer bill and let it become a law, and I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that there will not be any more of that kind of stuff in this land. Now is the time for the real manhood in our country to assert itself. Let the manhood of the United States assert itself, and you will then see where we are at. This would bring about a change, because I feel that as sure as the Senate passes this bill, President Warren G. Harding'will put his signature to it, and it will become a law. Of course it will have to go before Judge William Howard Taft and his associates, and there is manhood enough there to rule on right and justice. I believe that he is going to speak out right in this matter, and some day he may return to the presidency. I pray God to take charge of the affairs, and I do not fear. Let Him into the hearts of the Senators and the Supreme Court and all will be well, and I can feel that I am a little more protected in my country. I have mailed ten letters to my Senators, and I will write ten more. I have been moving some since I wrote to you the other day, and I am still going, but then this is a going world. I must not tell you that I have been near the crossing over place down here in Florida, and thought at one time I would have to send for Dr. George C. Hall to come down here and either bring me back to say a word over that lifeless body, but I just stuck to the medicine which he has given me before, and I have improved some more, and may remain here a few days longer, or I may cross over any time. When I see and read about those crossing over, it makes me think that my time may be next. That brilliant young man, Daniel A. Murphy, of the Afro-American, Baltimore, right in the prime of life, just at the time he was enjoying life with his wife and children, the death angel came and found him way down here in Florida, and returned his soul to the God who gave it, while his life-less body was conveyed to Baltimore and consigned to mother earth. Side by side, father and son came to Florida, but in the baggage car, encased in a casket, was the body of Dan, while his father in the rear car, heart-broken, wept until he reached Baltimore, where the rest of the family joined him in the weeping. But why weep? The will of God hath been done. He came here for a brief period. He lived well his todays, and when tomorrow came he but wrapped his drapery about him and went home to be with his mother and sister, and all others who had gone before him. One by one the other members of the family will join him. Let us all look for love, for joy, for everlasting coming together through Him who wore the crown of thorns on earth, and who is now in heaven awaiting all of our coming who will accept Him. Were it not for coming in touch with those who have prepared themselves and are devoting their lives pointing the way, I myself might stop CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 and fall by the wayside, but when I get discouraged, I have but to step into the school room, notice the devoted teachers, and then look into the faces of the boys and girls full of hope, looking up to the manhood and womanhood of their own for inspiration, I take a new hold on life, and ask God to help me to help others, and if I can help others, that I can find help for myself and peace for my own soul. I have been in company with men and women who are doing things this week. Now there is Mrs. Mary C Calhoun out at Eatonville, Fla., the principal of Robert Hungerford Industrial School. The work started by her husband while in the prime of life, and full of aspiration and desire to do something. But he had to go home to rest, and his widow took up the work and has kept it going up to this time. She is an earnest hard worker, and she should be encouraged, and should be assisted in 'the great work. Then a visit to the Providence Industrial School at DeLand, Florida, and see the wonderful work being done by that bunch of brains full of Christ, Miss Wilhelmina Johnson, I just had to sing "Old Hundred," and found tears dripping down my rosy cheeks. She was born next to the fiery furnace, Georgia, but it was a good town, the town which has given to us Silas X. Floyd, and Prof. N. W. Collier, Miss Sarah A. Blocker, and other great educators, Augusta. Alone Miss Johnson went into Deland, Fla., opened a school renting the bottom floor of the Odd Fellows Hall for $3 a month, and secured 10 pupils at 1 dollar each, and you will see that she had only $7 for her support, but she had Jesus with her. She soon found friends unsolicited coming to her, and now they have multiplied and multiplied until she has moved out of that rented building, purchased 10 acres, and friends have put up a real school building, and one of the finest auditoriums in the city, and a kitchen. She is now assisted by two others and her mother, and I don't know as I have seen such a busy young woman since I have been in the world. She teaches literary branches, instructs the boys in manual training, and then assists in the domestic science and arts, and that is going some. This young woman is giving her life to the cause. She will never have any wealth, but is giving all for others. Such a life. I was delighted to see her, to know her, to visit her work, to spend a day and night in the school, and be entertained by them and will accept the invitation to return some day. We don't know what we have, for here I want to acquaint you with another remarkable woman. I am sure you have not met Mrs. Kittle K. C. Taylor, of Orlando. She is the Orange County Public Nurse. She is well educated, and one of the best nurses in the country, saying nothing about race or color. She is the trained woman of the race of this country. I had the pleasure of meeting her last summer in New York when she was taking on some finishing touches. She going into the homes into the schools of the county, and is devoting her life in helping humanity. She owns with her husband a fine drug store in Orlando. I will not be able to tell you all I want to tell you about her at this time, but there will come another time when I can both talk and write. I am getting ready for Tuskegee, April 5, to see them unveil the monument for Booker T. Washington, and I hope you are going to be there. It will be a great big meeting there. What time will you get there. I expect to reach town April 3, and remain until it is all over. God bless you. I think I will have to bring this letter to a close. I am going to devote some time in telling you about Joseph S. McLain, and Mrs. Carrie A Tuggle. CHARLES E. STUMP. ABOUT MANY DUTIES Mrs. Lou Ella Young, 3556 Giles avenue, well known for her activities in many fraternal organizations, is able to be out again and about her many duties after an illness of more than a month which has confined her to the house. When seen, Mrs. Young was loud in her praise for the attention given by her physicians, Drs. Homer Cooper and George C. Hall, Mrs. Parthenia Brown, the many officers and members who visited her home.

BOOK CHAT-By MARY WHITE OVINGTON By Stephen Graham. Published by The Macmillan Co., New York. Price $2.00. Postage 10 Cents Extra Few Americans realize how interesting the Negro question in the United States is to the English. They want to learn about it, they come over here and write about it. No one of them has written so keen a book as Fannie Kemble's "Two Years on a Georgian Plantation," published nearly a hundred years ago. Fannie Kemble, the actress, married a slave holder and came from free England to enslave Georgia. She could not stand it and from the frank way in which she wrote I imagine the white South could not stand her. Stephen Graham has no such intimate knowledge as Fannie Kemble possessed, but he did his best while in America to see conditions as they really exist, and his many years of travel among other peoples—he has written a number of books on Russia—make him a wise and well-balanced observer. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was collecting material for "The Soul of John Brown," a striking-looking man with reddish hair worn a trifle long and a gentle though strong face. Religious in the best sense of the word, he believes that "only Christianity can save color." But there is something of the militant Christian about him when he tells us that "there is such a thing as the wrath of God, and it is not incompatible with Divine Fatherhood and all merciful Providence." John Brown is his hero and he ends his book by saying: "John Brown himself if he should re-appear would not be sweetened by what he saw happening in the world. His soul goes marching on, but it is still the soul of vengeance and wrath." To prepare for the writing of this book Stephen Graham spent some time in New York—we at the N. A. A. C. P. were fortunate in being able to give him material—and then started in his travels. He went into seven southern states. He saw the industries at Newport News, talked with black rivitators and chippers, and, to quote his own words, "went up the James River to Jamestown and on to Richmond, the fine capital of the old Dominion. I travelled to Lynchburg and its tobacco industries, went from thence to 'sober' Knoxville, investigating the race riot there and the attitude of Tennessee. From Knoxville I went to Chattanooga and Birmingham, in each of which great steel centers I met the leading Negroes and investigated conditions. I was at Atlanta and walked across Georgia to the sea, following Sherman. A three-hundred mile walk through the cotton fields and forests of Georgia. From Savannah I went to Brunswick and Jacksonville, thence to Pensacola and on from Florida to New Orleans and the Gulf plantations. I journeyed up the Mississippi on a river steamer, stayed at the Negro city of Mound Bayou, was at Vicksburg and Greenville and Memphis and then rejoined once more to the contrasting North." The most picturesque part of the trip, was the tramp through Georgia. No one else used the road for walking, and Mr. Graham was accounted passing strange. But his ready spirit of good fellowship won confidence and he found out much concerning Sherman's march from the oldest inhabitants and much regarding the Georgia of today from his own observations. His summing up is not flattering. "Rural Georgia is not very much better today than it was in slavery days." In the cities he met leading men of the colored race, men who must be interesting to read what he wrote. He is generous in his estimates of the black man, kindly but with a sense of humor. The further South he drops the more he sees the Negro neglected, his opportunities lessened. He is shocked that a library, bearing Carnegie's name, admits no colored reader. The lack of public schooling amazes him. He did not visit Hampton though he was as near it as Norfolk, not because he doubted its good work, but because he wanted to found his impressions on the poorer schools, on what was usual not what was occasional. It is this spirit that makes his book so different from that of Archer or Maurice Evans; he was not hoodwinked by the sight of philanthropy. While kindly toward the Negro he is upsparing in his condemnation of the white southerner, yet he recognizes that he exists inevitably, the sure result of slavery. "You can classify all faces into those who say please and those who do not, and the children of the slave owners are mostly in the second category. Unqualified mastership; indifference to dirt and misery in the servant's class; callous disregard of other's pain, or pleasure taken in their pain; all these terrible sins or sinful conditions are visited on the third and fourth generation of those who hate, though as must always be said, God's mercy is shown to thousands of them that love him and keep his eternal commandments." There are four entertaining pages, humorous yet tragic, of the fourteen points of the southerner's M. The Best and the Most Popular Clerk of the Cook County Has Ever Had Whose Thousand Feel Dead Sure That He Will Be Re-nomina Position at the Primaries Tuesday, April 11th The Best and the Most Popular Clerk of the Probate Court That Cook County Has Ever Had Whose Thousands of Loyal Friends Feel Dead Sure That He Will Be Re-nominated for His Present Position at the Primaries Tuesday, April 11th. 1. "We understand the Niggers and they like us. When they go North they're crazy till they get back to us." 4. "The Nigger is all right as long as he is kept in his place. You must make him keep his distance. If once you are familiar with him you are lost." 5. "The Nigger is an animal. Like the animal he is full of lust. Like the animals, also, he does not feel pain. When he is burned it is not the same as a white man burning." 14. "Justice? Well, you ask any Nigger which he'd prefer, a Southern court of justice and a Southern judge or a Northern one. He would always prefer the Southern one because in the South we understand him. And we're very fond of them and they of us. We get on very well together." Southern belief, Graham says, rarely steps out of this codified expression of thought. Get into conversation with a Southerner and you will almost always be able to refer his talk to 1 or 10 or some other point of this creed. "The Soul of John Brown" is a most satisfying book. We hope for it many readers both in this country and in England. MASS MEETING AT QUINN The Virginia Circle and Society (F. F.

He never really thought seriously of investing in bonds until he was married a few years ago. Being inexperienced in financial matters, he wrote several letters to Ralph, an attorney friend of his, who answered all his questions in a very simple and clear manner. We have just published a booklet called "An Investor's Letters" which contains all of Ralph's and Bill's correspondence. You will find it very interesting and it may clear up some of the questions you have in your own mind about investment matters.

The cemetery contains fifty thousand share. The lot owners will have a double lot, of which approximately fifteen thou- interest in the property of lot sand have been sold, and twenty-two owner and that of stockholder. As a part of the revenue of the company about $1.50 per year will be collected for watering the lots and cutting the grass for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in first-class condition. This is considerably less than is usually charged by other cemeteries for like services. It cannot be too strongly emphasized and borne in mind that while the commissioner is attractive in the City of Chichester and its environs, yet the price of $50.00, not to include the stock bonus, which is easily costed at $0.00, represents about 25 per cent of the selling of lots in the average cemetery. Do not fail to secure one of these choice lots while they last. It is the coming Oak Woods of cemeteries in this city that should own a lot, thereby providing for the future for our bereaved ones just as we do in everything else.
