CHICAGO ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 Mrs. Helene Danek, Republican Candidate for County Commissioner On Monday evening, February 22, (Washington's Birthday), in 1914, we called at the place of business of Alderman Swift, 54th Place and South Halsted Street, as we had been requested by him to do so, and his saloon was crowded down with big and small would-be politicians who were seemingly endeavoring to drink up all the wet goods he had in his saloon, talking loud and having a rip-oaring time. Finally Attorney Walter T. Stanton, who was at that time the mouthpiece for Alderman Swift, appeared at the end of the long wet bar, threw down a five-dollar bill on it and invited everybody to have a drink on Alderman Swift, and while the politicians and the rag-tag element were deeply engaged in drinking to the health and the success of Alderman Swift at the primaries the next day, Mr. Stanton eased up to us and informed us that Alderman Swift would not be out in his saloon that evening. that he was busily engaged in counting out the money which was to be used at the polls, that whether he was renominated or defeated at the primaries that our bill would be paid just the same, that Alderman Swift had instructed him to heartily thank us for what we had done for him until we were better paid. On the next day, primary day Tuesday, February 23, 1914, Hon. William R. O'Toole hot-footed Alderman Swift out of the city council from the 30th Ward. Within five or six days after the primaries we sent Alderman Swift a bill for twenty-five dollars for inserting his double-column cut and advertisement in the columns of The Broad Ax as he had ordered us to do. Receiving no indications at the end of the first thirty days from Alderman Swift that it was his intention to pay the bill we called in to see him one morning shortly after that time and he ordered us to come back within in the next few days and he would pay the bill. A few days after that time we made another call on him as requested, then he informed us that he was too busy to talk to us and that we would have to call again and from that time until we started suit against him in the Municipal Court of Chicago, by actual count, we called on him twenty-five times. Sometimes he would run and hide when he would behold us hoving in sight. Every time that he would enter the city council committee rooms he was too busy to talk to us. Several times we caught him when no one was around for him to converse with. He would then state, "I will be back in a few moments," and when he was ready to take his departure he would slip out through the council chamber proper and make his "get-away." Finally, one day we waited for one whole hour at the side of the double doors leading from the council chamber and at the end of that time we were rewarded for our trouble for at last he rushed out of the big doors and came very near falling right square into our arms and he turned a thousand different colors in the face at one time. At the expiration of six months after calling on Alderman Swift more than twenty-five times in an effort to collect the money which honestly belonged to us, we became firmly convinced that he was playing "horse" with us. Then we instructed Mr. Walter M. Farmer, who was our lawyer at that time, to write a letter to Alderman Swift and plainly Mrs. Helene Danek, candidate in the Republican primary for County Commissioner, is featuring in her campaign a pledge that if elected she will use her influence to establish a municipal lodging house to furnish a clean, temporary shelter for women. "The woman temporarily out of funds and away from friends is in a hard situation," says Mrs. Danek, who is the wife of Dr. David Hill Danek. "In desperation many of them seem to think there is only one of two things for them—the lake or vice. A temporary free shelter for penniless inform him that we had not the slightest desire to cause him any trouble but if he failed to settle his bill within fifteen days from that time, we would start suit against him in the Municipal Court of Chicago for our money. Two weeks went by and Alderman Swift paid no attention to the letter. At the expiration of that time requested Lawyer Farmer to write a second letter along the same line and another two weeks passed by and still he paid no attention to either letter. Then suit was started in the Municipal Court of Chicago against him for $25 and costs. Then Mr. Walter T. Stanton, lawyer for Alderman Swift, came running after us with his tongue hanging out like a wild man, stating that if we would settle the suit' or case for $10 that he would give us the money right then and there. We requested him to go plumb to Hades with his $10; that we fully intended to collect the full amount of the face of the bill or know the reason why. The case finally came up for trial before his honor, Judge Sheridan E. Fry. At that time we did not know Judge Fry and had never spoken one word to him. When the case was called Judge Fry wanted to know if both sides were ready for trial, and Mr. Farmer and Mr. Stanton responded, "Yes your honor." Then Mr. Farmer requested us to take the witness stand. Then we produced a copy of The Broad Ax dated Saturday, February 20, 1914, which contained the advertisement in question and we exhibited the double-column cut of Alderman Swift which was run in the paper at the same time along with the advertisement. Judge Fry read the reading matter over very carefully, then he fastened his sharp, keen eyes upon us, and in a slow, firm voice he said, "What are your advertising rates, Mr Taylor?" We promptly replied, "Fifteen cents per line for straight reading matter and twenty-five and forty cents per line for display advertisements." Then he wanted to know what rate had we charged Alderman Swift and we responded the lowest rate—fifteen cents agate-line measurement. After we had finished testifying Judge Fry asked Mr. Stanton if he wished to make an argument, and Mr. Stanton informed his honor that twenty-five dollars was too much money to pay for an advertisement in The Broad Ax, as it was only read by a very few colored people residing in the 30th Ward. Then Judge Fry reflected for a few minutes, straightened up in his chair and said very firmly, "Twenty-five dollars and costs." And within fifteen days from that time we had the twenty-five dollars and the costs of the court right in our hip pocket. Judge Fry, who was one of the most honorable and upright judges on the Municipal Court bench simply decided the case according to the law and the evidence as we shall note later on. While, on the other hand Judge John R. Caverly simply decided the case against us and in favor of the Hon. Anton J. Cermak from a political point of view in order to help out his big political friend, and by clutching Justice by the throat and crushing it out and by stabbing the law in the back and trampling it in the dirt under his excitable judicial judge. Judge Caverly has become the women, women who are decent, but broke, is sadly needed in Chicago." Mrs. Danek, as president of the Woman's Protective Association, 715 County Building, an organization recognizing no race or creed, has done a great work among women, and her friends declare that she will perform a most valuable service to the community as a member of the County Board. The object of the Woman's Protective Association is to lend protection, aid and human sympathy to deserving penniless women. Mrs. Danek's proud boast is that 98 per laughing stock of all the able lawyers residing in this section of the world. The first of this week one of the most prominent white lawyers in this city, who understands the law from A to Z, prepared the following brief which touches upon the laws governing parole (oral) or written contracts or agreements and these quotations deal Judge Caverly some mighty hard blows from a legal point of view. THE LAWS GOVERNING PAROLE (ORAL), WRITTEN AGREEMENTS OR UNWRITTEN CONTRACTS, FOLLOWS: "Assume that The Broad Ax has substantially stated the facts relative to the case of Taylor against Cermak tried before Judge Caverly while he was a Judge of the Municipal Court. "The question to be determined was whether there was a valid contract. The facts and circumstances clearly indicate there was such a contract. The accurate political write-up and the cut of Mr. Cermak delivered to Mr. Taylor in themselves make a strong prima facie case. Advertising is a merchantable commodity like sugar or corn. Editors and publishers do not give that commodity away any more than the merchant gives sugar away. Add to this prima facie case the conversations between Mr. Taylor and Mr. Cermak, as well as Mr. Cermak's secretary, together with the exhibit of the printed advertisement, and it is hard to understand how the facts could be determined other than as indicated above. "There is no law or legal authority that requires an advertisement contract to be in writing. It might be the better policy for a publisher to pursue that course, but whether in writing, or by parole agreement, the courts will enforce such a contract once the facts are so determined. "The above is so elemental that the courts seldom have to pass upon the proposition." "Commentators and Courts alike, speaking through Blackstone, Kent, Marshall and Taney, have said that 'a contract is an agreement upon sufficient consideration to do or not to do a particular thing.' "Here we have an agreement that for a certain money consideration a certain political advertisement would be published. "The Supreme Court of Kansas has given a definition of a contract (State vs. Barker, 4 Kansas, 379) that is frequently referred to for its completeness: 'The agreement of two competent parties about a legal and competent subject matter, upon a mutual legal consideration, with a mutuality of obligation.' "Analyze the above in the light of the facts. Taylor and Cermak, 'two competent parties.' Publishing the picture and article, 'legal and competent subject matter.' The amount Cermak was to pay, 'mutual legal consideration.' The published picture and article, 'a mutuality of obligation.' In Alwater vs. Lockwood, 39 Connecticut, page 39, the Court held 'it was the meeting of minds of the contracting parties.' "Pollock, on Contracts, says, 'A contract is an agreement or promise enforceable by law.' "Leake, on Contracts, says, 'An agreement containing a promise made by the one party for a valid consideration and agreed to by the other party.' "A hundred other authorities of like import might be cited. There is no cent of the women who apply to the Woman's Protective Association for assistance are plaintiffs and not defendants. "I think that women on the County Board," said Mrs. Danek, "would be able to bring some improvement even in our county institutions. The men have done pretty well, but the woman mind and viewpoint might add a little to the situation." Mrs. Danek before her marriage was a successful business woman. She has studied in Europe, and is a noted musician. ch of the Muni ng the Law U When He Dec Contract in W ate of Illinois. HON. SAMUEL A.

The Constitution of Illinois prohibits special legislation, so consequently the contract that is good between the baker and his customer is good between the printer and his customer. To be otherwise would be special legislation in favor of one class as against another class. "The contract was a valid enforceable contract whether by parole (oral) agreement or by written agreement." In conclusion we wish to heartily thank our highly esteemed friend for the valuable legal brief, for in the future it will stand as a just rebuke to all thoughtless judges who attempt to set themselves up as being greater than the well established laws of the land, and who entertain the foolish idea that the common people and especially colored people possess no legal rights which they are duty bound to respect. Once more we wish to state that for more than twenty years we have transacted business with hundreds of the most prominent Republicans and Democratic politicians residing in this city and throughout the state of Illinois and we never had any trouble in collecting our money from them until we came in contact with Alderman Joseph A.

In the past, Mr. Hoffman, as cor- mer of Cook County, has amply proven himself to be a worthy and honest public official, possessing courage and determination, to adhere to the law at all hazards. That fact was clearly demonstrated in the race riots in this city in the summer of 1919. At that time Mr. Hoffman, who is free from petty race prejudices, let the world know that the colored people in this city and county would receive a square deal at his hands, which they did. And in appreciation of that fact the vast majority of the colored men and women residing in this city and county should, on April 11, assist to nominate him for Sheriff ‘of Cook County.

I believe in the first place we owe it to ourselves and next to the public at large to put our forces behind a man whom we know to be trustwor- ‘thy and capable. Misrepresentation is worse than no representation at all, and our race has been “exploited and sold out” long enough to now be con- cerned about the character, as well as the caliber, of those we name. It is conceded that our group is entitled to representation in every branch of our government—the whites will co- operate with us if we do our part in sending up the right kind of men.

TREASURER CARR TELLS WORLD HE DOESN'T FIX TAX Shows Victims How They Can Cut High Rates County Treasurer Patrick J.

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 an assessment or cancel or reduce any tax." Carr's Plans Commended Circulars of this general character should have been issued by County Treasurer ago, it was pointed Because of the enormous boost, Mr. Carr has printed a folder which he proposes to mail with each tax bill. The says "official information about taxes" and adds that "it will save you worry, time and money." Circular Gives Some Facts On the first page the circular states that if it is the desire of the County Treasurer to acquaint you with important facts concerning 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 sub-station 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 in April and after July 1 to the Board of Review. As has been heretofore pointed out recently, the folder asserts that there is no legal way of any reduction in the taxes which are payable now. Neither the Board of Assessors nor the Board of Review has any jurisdiction in that tax now. The period ```markdown ``` M. H. HON.

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 an assessment or cancel or reduce any tax." Carr's Plans Commended Circulars of this general character should have been issued by County Treasurers years ago, it was pointed out yesterday. Many poor people are not acquainted 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 sub-stations, the treasurer 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 loss of time caused by the thousands of people who daily throng into the county treasurer's office between April 1 and May 1. These sub-stations are bonded. All tax receipts issued by them are absolutely guaranteed."

It looked at one time like I was going to peg out right here in Florida, and I got to the place where I felt like I was ready and willing for the death angel to come right on and take me up home. I was near enough the place to feel my wings pushing through, and I was ready to join hands with those of my friends who have gone before me. Daniel A.

Dan will never return to them, but some day they will go to him where there will be a family reunion. No doubt Dan has been in company with his mother and sister. But that is not my mission this week. I was in Arcadia when I took my pen in hand to sit down and write to you before, but look where I am now, and I have been to several other places. I have visited Punta Gorda, and had a big time there still looking for health, and from there I made it to Bartow where I had the pleasure of attending the Progressive Baptist State convention, a split from the regular General Missionary Baptist convention of Florida. These men and women are indeed progressive, until I wish you could just see them progress. It is so progressive that there are no followers, but all leaders. The Rev. Dr. Anderson of Palatka is the elected president, but he did not have any show, for when he made a ruling that did not suit some fellow he would inform him that they belonged in Florida and he came from Georgia. The Rev. Dr. Lake of Tampa informed the president that he had lived in Florida fifty years before Dr. Anderson and he could not come down from Georgia and dictate to his brains. There was the treasurer of the convention who got the floor and declared that he would not make a report or turn over anything until some one made an apology to him. "Here I have been branded as a Baptist thief," he said, "and I have insulted a lawyer about this thing, and if you don't beg me pardon, then my lawyer is going to make you." There was a warm time following this statement. When the good brother was informed that he had been re-elected he took a grin that would have challenged the "Gold Dust Twins" and decided to make his report in the next session, and perhaps discharge his lawyer with the payment of a little fee. Then came the educational rally night. There were some speeches made during this evening. It was on Friday and I was there. I heard a strong address delivered by Prof. Curtwright of the Florida Memorial College. He told all about the school and the school work, and then followed the Rev. Dr. Ballou from Tampa and he had his say right and left, and the closing talk was made by that prince of educators in Florida, Prof. N. W. Collier of the Florida Normal and Industrial College, St Augustine, Florida. Now these men said enough to move the hearts of any people, and the appeal for money with which to carry on the work was made by Rev. Charles Stewart of Chicago. Then the Florida Baptist showed deep down in their hearts their progressive idea of running schools; their progressive idea of contributing to education. ```markdown ``` of Chicago; Republican Candi- Judge of the Municipal Court, the Top of the List.

The church was filled with people and they kept their hands going through all the speeches and when it was over then they planked down so much money that it was a mystery to me how that large committee could count so much in such a short space of time. There were piled up nickels upon nickels, dimes upon dimes, quarters upon quarters, and brownies upon brownies until it all amounted to $11.60. Yes, I did see some dollars upon dollars. This is a progressive plan of educating a people in a land where there is but little done by the state, county, cities and towns for us. There are places in Florida where they have not had a school open for several years, I am told, and there are many places where the children are permitted to go to school just three months, and some only two months. I had the pleasure of meeting the great leader of the progressive movement, and then there was also present Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, and he was accompanied by his wife. He is breaking in health, but let us all pray that God will spare him just a little longer until things can get straight with the Baptists. I do not want him to die while things are so turned up. He made a speech and was spoken of as the Moses of his race. I am glad that I have had the pleasure of seeing Moses. I made it over to this place where I am this week writing this all important letter. I am in the study of the Rev. Dr. T. J. Williams, a leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a man of rare ability, and you will have to come in contact with him to realize that wonderful brain and his power as a business minister and a financier. He has just closed a school where he has been serving the youth. He took the time to become trained, and is now on his way to the position of Church Extension Secretary, and I believe this will happen in Louisville, Ky., in 1924. Let us wait and see. Right by the side of Dr. T. J. Williams is his wife, and she is a remarkable woman. When she was in her youth she took advantage of school, and 'way up yonder in Baltimore she took on education in the high school there and then active in life until the Lord directed her down here in Florida. She just came on a visit, and Cupid directed the arrow right to her heart, and before she could realize what had happened she was walking up the aisle to the step of Mendlesson, and next standing before the altar declaring that she would accept of the hand of the Rev. T. J. Williams, to love, to cherish, to honor and to obey until death. She has carried out to the letter her part of the contract. She is daily right by his side in the work. Mrs. M. B. his side in the work. A fine church worker, and she has made many friends down in Florida. They have fully adopted her as a Daughter of Florida, and she has declared that she is ever ready to serve. She is willing to accompany her husband to Washington into 1535 Fourteenth Street N. W., the headquarters of the Church Extension, and become the mistress of that house. She is an honor to her church. She has a great man for her husband and they have some fine children in the home. I will have more to say another time. I am now off for Tuskegee Institute where you may send me a letter. I will be at the unveiling of the Booker T. Washington monument next week. CHARLES E. STUMP. HON. JOHN F. DEVINE SHOULD BE RENOMINATED FOR CLERK OF THE PROBATE COURT ON HIS PAST UNTARNISHED RECORD. Chicago, Ill., March 29, 1922. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor The Broad Ax. My Dear Sir: The undersigned has been employed in the office of the Probate Clerk for more than three years, and in the three years Mr. Devine has been clerk he has not valued his office primarily as a means of securing honor and comfort for himself, but he has valued that office for the service he could render the public. He has made a thorough study of the conditions of the Probate Court with the sincere purpose of giving the most proficient and economical service possible. To my personal knowledge, when Mr. Devine was elected Clerk of the Probate Court, the work was six months behind. Now the work is up-to-date. In a few days after an estate has been probated it is spread of record and placed in the files. Not in the history of the Probate Court has this been true until now. Any one of the vast number of Chicago lawyers who handle these estates for the people will verify this statement and tell you just how much time, labor and money is saved to the individual by having this work up to date. Until a few months ago an Administrator, Guardian or Conservator, who is the person appointed by the Court to handle the estates which are being probated, might upon his own honor take charge of the contents of a safety deposit box of the ward. There was no way of knowing whether the person administering the estate had or had not honestly reported to the Court the entire contents of the deposit box. On November 26, 1921, in order to protect the interest of all parties concerned, Mr. Devine conceived and presented a plan which was adopted as a Rule of the Probate Court by Judge Henry Horner on December 19, 1921. It is as follows: "Rule No. 55. Conservator's Opening Safety Deposit Boxes: When a Conservator first takes possession of the contents of a safety deposit box or vault of his ward, he shall open such safety deposit box or vault in the presence of the proprietor, lessor or custodian of such safety deposit box or vault. "The Conservator shall at the time prepare a true and exact list or statement of such contents and deliver such list or statement or a true copy thereof to such proprietor, lessor or custodian. "The Conservator shall permit such proprietor, lessor or custodian to examine the contents of such box or vault for the purpose of verifying such list or statement." He also submitted for approval a blank form upon which an affidavit from the bank should be made. Every banker, seeing the honesty of his purpose, his earnest desire to help the utterly helpless—be it an insane person, a child, or the heirs of the deceased—not only agreed but gave their highest approval and commendation to this wonderful idea. Every step of the way Mr. Devine has endeavored to protect the interest of the people who placed him in office. In his annual report to the Circuit Court Judges last fall, Mr. Devine showed that at least $4,000,000 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. worth of personal property escaped taxation each year in Cook County. The Probate Court is the only place in Cook County where Administrators and Executors are required to file a complete inventory of the entire estates of deceased. Mr. Devine is the only clerk who has ever taken the time and trouble to make the comparison between the values of the Real Estate and Personal Property, and showed thereby what real tax dodging was. What more can we ask than to be given our rightful place among other races? We do not ask favors—only an equal chance among other races, and this Mr. Devine has freely given, for out of the number of employees in the Probate Clerk's office, five are colored. On account of his ability and his fairness he has measured up to the highest standard of public duty and In his recent report to the Board of County Commissioners of Cook County, Mr. Devine shows that the office of the Clerk of the Probate Court during his administration had not been a burden to the people of the county, but a profit. He shows that his office had made a profit of $41,002.02 over and above all expenses including his own salary and expense supply funds debited against the office. The door of opportunity for service has just been opened. It takes time to discover the needs, and Mr. Devine is the man who has applied himself at all times to meet the needs of the People. He is fair in his dealings with all men, his ideals are high and he has had many years of experience as a Public Official, and in every way he is proficient. He knows no man by race or creed. He classes and assigns all according to their several abilities. 86 86 PED HON. ROBERT M.
