NEARBY WHITES SEIZE HOUSE NEGRO BOUGHT THE FOLLOWING REPRINT FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, MAY 2, 1915, MAKES MIGHTY INTERESTING READING: WARNING ON THE DOOR Hon. Wallace G. Clark Does Not Stand Very High in the Estimation of the Colored People NEAR THE FOR THE C 1915, I ING R WARM In a second floor flat at 4809 Lang- ley avenue, Charles H. Davis, a Negro postoffice employe, has his furniture all packed ready to move into the residence he recently contracted to purchase at 4506 Forrestville avenue. Last night a man who had been sta- tioned in the flat to guard the furni- ture said Davis and his wife, Estelle J. Davis, who is a teacher in the Keith school at Dearborn and Thirty-fourth streets, had gone out of town to spend Sunday. Over at 4506 Forrestville avenue Policeman J. H. Wilson, of the Fiftieth Street station, stood guard on the outside while inside reposed John J. Fleming, whose six feet and some 200 pounds of brawn gave evidence he was capable of enforcing the task intrusted to him as outlined on a poster pasted in one of the front windows of the house. Here Is the Notice The notice reads: MR. JOHN J. FLEMING: You are hereby authorized to take possession as custodian of the property known as 4506 Forrestville Avenue and hold possession thereof against all persons. And for that purpose the keys are delivered into your hands. CHARLES M. HAFT, personally, and for other persons on said street. Meanwhile an indignation meeting of thoroughly outraged Forrestville avenue residents who object strenu Mr. Clark stated through the columns of the bold lying Chicago Defender last week that "Mr. Oscar De Priest, in attempting to assist Mr. Charles Ringer, his Republican opponent, that he, Mr. Clark, did not join in with his white neighbors in the dastardly effort to prevent the late Charles H. Davis and his wife, Mrs. Davis, from moving into their new home at 4506 Forrestville avenue, the first part of May, 1915." Now, if Mr. Oscar De Priest has made any mistake in that respect he simply adhered to the story which is reproduced above from the columns of the Chicago Tribune, May 2, 1915, and it states that "Charles M. Haft, personally, and for other persons on said street assisted to prevent Charles Davis from moving into his home. Meanwhile an indignation meeting of thoroughly outraged Forrestville avenue residents who object strenuously to becoming neighbors of Davis was being held at the residence of Wallace G. Clark, drainage trustee, at 4520 Forrestville avenue." It will be noted that Charles H Haft, who was at that time first Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, and he should be forever damned for the part which he played in that murderous affair, was acting for all the whites in that block; that all the white neighbors held an indignation meeting at the home of Wallace G. Clark, 4520 Forrestville avenue. Now, if that statement was untrue on the part of the Chicago Tribune and if it tended to place Mr. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 ously to becoming neighbors of Davis was being held at the residence of Wallace G. Clark, drainage trustee, at 4520 Forrestville avenue. The property in question belonged to the Burdick estate, for which Attorney Harry C. Kinne is trustee. Of late it had been rented through the real estate firm of R. W. Wolfe & Co., with offices at 206 West Garfield boulevard, to William B. Denny for $57.50 a month. Mr. Denny's lease expired April 30, and he moved farther up the block. On April 23 the property was sold by Mr. Kinne to Mrs. Josephine Mulcahy for a cash consideration of $5,000. Then a contract of sale was made to Davis by Mrs. Mulcahy through the real estate firm. Take Charge of Things The news spread that a Negro was to move in. There were many private protests and indignation meetings. Yesterday word spread that Davis was coming to take possession. A hurried consultation was held. Assistant Corporation Counsel Haft and Mr. Clark took charge of things, and a delegation was sent to the Wolfe Real Estate agency. When Davis arrived he faced the poster and Fleming's forbidding countenance through the window. Denny had turned the keys over to the neighbors when he left. Davis read the sign, expressed his mind to the watchman, and went away, saying he would go to court on Monday and obtain Clark in a false light or position and fasten a heinous crime upon him which he was not guilty of committing, classing him as a rank enemy to the colored race it was the duty of Mr. Clark at that time to have forwarded a letter to the Chicago Tribune demanding that it retract the statement in its columns in reference to the part he so disgracefully played in the Davis affair. And if the Chicago Tribune would have failed to have complied to his request or demand in a reasonable length of time then Mr. Clark should have brought suit against it for two hundred thousand dollar damages for defamation of character; that for some reason or other he utterly failed to do and whether justly or unjustly, he will to the end of time be classed as being unfriendly down deep in his heart of hearts to the colored race. How much better it would have been for Mr. Clark if he would have displayed the courage of a bold lion and asserted the bravest manhood that all true Americans possess and in a manly way informed his white neighbors that Mr. and Mrs. Davis were highly respectable and worthy people, that Mr. Davis held a responsible position in the Chicago post office, that Mrs. Davis was one of the teachers in the public schools in this city, that they only bought their new home to reside in, and not to seek social equality with their white neighbors. If Mr. Clark would have only talked or reasoned with his white neighbors along that line he would THE BROUGHT BET FROM DE, MAY 2, INTEREST- DOOR possession. Some one in the neigh- borhood feared, however, he intended to return with reinforcements and called up the police. Police Come on the Run Policeman Kelliher came on the run and found a crowd of excited citizens gathered in front of the place. Later Patrolman Wilson relieved him on guard. The residents asserted they had agreed to purchase the house jointly and it was the "community property." They denied the deed had been transferred to Davis, but stated he merely had made a contract to purchase the house on monthly payments of $35. The real estate agents, they said, had been reimbursed for the costs in the case, and they merely had taken over the contract. Mrs. Mulcahy, it was said, is employed in the Wolfe real estate office and she was merely a figurehead in the transaction. "I knew that Negroes had looked at the property, and I warned the residents of the neighborhood they had better purchase it themselves, as it had to be sold to settle the estate," said Mr. Kinne. "They laughed at me. I sold to Mrs. Mulcahy, and I understand she sold to Davis, but I had nothing to do with that transaction. I don't know who Mrs. Mulcahy is, but I heard the deed had been transferred to Davis." The above article is from the Chicago Tribune of May 2, 1915. have covered himself over with undying glory, which would have lingered with him to the end of time. But seemingly Mr. Clark was not equal to the occasion, judging by his own actions he is not made of the same kind of material that heroes are made of. Mr. Davis, who was one of our good friends who always conducted himself like a true gentleman, was the church clerk of the Berean Baptist Church and being of a high, nervous make up, the excitement and humiliation was too much for him and in order to rid himself of it for a few days he started on a short vacation trip up in Michigan, where he died, and his remains were brought back to his home town for burial. The blood of our late friend, Charles H. Davis, is still on the hands of all of those who joined in that unlawful mob which prevented him and his good wife, Mrs. Davis, from moving into their new home. In conclusion we do not know what the fates have in store for us but without fear and without price we propose to express our honest convictions at this time, though the heavens fall and the sun refuse to shine forth in all of its brilliance on a clear day at high noon tide, and that is that we cannot see for the life of us how any self-respecting race loving colored man or woman can on Tuesday, April 11, honestly vote for Hon. Wallace G. Clark for treasurer of Cook County. M. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN congress from the First Congressional Table Chairman of the Committee in the House of Representatives.

Hon. Patrick J. Carr The Regular Democratic Candidate Who Will Come In Under T So-Called Opponents Primary The Regular Democratic Candidate for Treasure of Cook County, Who Will Come In Under The Wire Far Ahead of All of His So-Called Opponents Primary Day, Tuesday, April 11. TREASURER CARR TELLS the taxes which are payable now. WORLD HE DOESN'T FIX TAX Neither the Board of Assessors nor Shows Victims How They Can Cut High Rates County Treasurer Patrick J. Carr desires that it be distinctly understood that he "has nothing to do with the increase in taxes." For the City of Chicago he is the tax collector and the first tax bills showing an average increase of 42 per cent will be mailed out Monday to residents of the towns of Jefferson and West Chicago. Because of the enormous boost, Mr. Carr has printed a folder which he proposes to mail with each tax bill. This 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 "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.' 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 her.tofore pointed out recently, the folder asserts that there is no legal way of any reduction in ```markdown ``` M. B. HON. EDWARD J.

He Has Not the Slightest Opposition at the Primaries, Tuesday, April 11: 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 has passed. The Treasurer puts this pungent statement in black-face type: "The taxpayers of Cook County will save time and add greatly to the efficiency of this office by remembering that the County Treasurer has nothing to do with the increase in taxes. His sworn duty is to collect all taxes and he has absolutely no authority to change 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." ```markdown ``` e for Re-Nomination for State first Senatorial District of Illi- lightest Opposition at the Pri- IPEU 76 Vice-President of F.

THE WOMAN'S BURDEN It is notorious that the Negro woman is the prey of the lower or criminal types of both races. It is also pretty generally thought by Negro-haters that she is usually immoral; yet, she is not very generally protected by the courts of the South. A striking example of this last fact is given by an article in the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial-Appeal of March 29, 1922. We copy the article word for word; the only change made is put in bold type, the part which confesses Southern guile: "Dave Murrell, Negro, was convicted in Judge Richard's court of an attempt to commit the crime which he was charged with having committed on a Negro girl, and hence will get a long penitentiary term instead of the electric chair, which goes with conviction of the crime itself. John Shea tried the case for the state and succeeded in getting a verdict in a Negro case, which is rather unusual at the hands of a jury." This came from a Southern white paper.

Mr. Nowak is one of those many foreign born residents of Chicago who have done so much to give it the high standing which it now holds among the municipalities of the world. Since becoming one of the county commissioners, Mr. Nowak has amply proven himself to be the right man in the right place; at all times he has been ever ready as a county official, to aid those of all races who were in distress, and it goes without saying that the voters residing in this city have made no mistake in the past in selecting honest Albert Nowak as one of their public servants.

He has been putting over wonderful things, and he is still doing it, and it is hard to tell just where he is going to stop in this world. He has made it so that he himself can vie with the eagle in his giddy flights. He is able to go way down into the seas and come back, go into the bowels of the earth and find gold and silver there—he is indeed a surprising wonder even to himself. I have not been able to do any of these things, but I have lived in an age of wonder and here and there I have been able to touch hands with great men and women, and to meet those of my own race who have made some contributions. When I get with them I just love to shout right out. It is so we can sit down at home today and make an inventory of the world.

Emmett Whealan, Democratic Candidate for re-n nomination for County Commissioner, who is successfully finishing his first term as such, has a splendid business record behind him. At all times he has a quick grasp of financial matters pertaining to the County Board and for some time past he has been creditably serving as Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board. He is also serving as Chairman of the Forest Preserve Board Real Estate Committee. For many years Commissioner Whealan was connected with the newspaper making in which vocation he gained much skill in the mechanical departments. He has always been a warm friend of union labor and he still carries his union card around with him. For some years he has been successfully engaged in the real estate business, being a member of the real estate firm of Klinck, Whealan and Byrne with offices at 2402 West 63rd street. The firm makes a specialty in handling real estate in the southwestern section of the city.

The people are going to erect a monument, or uncover to the gaze of the world, the monument which has been erected to Booker T. Washington. I am reminded that this remarkable character erected his monuments in the hearts of men when he walked this earth, and there is nothing left now but men and women to talk about him. I was down in Lakeland, Florida, when I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week, and when I take it hand in hand this week I am in Alabama. I had a fine time in Lakeland, and then at night I left with Prof. N. W. Collier, the educator of Florida, for Jacksonville, and then right on to this place. In Jacksonville I had the pleasure of coming in touch with some men of thought. Now there is D. W. Perkins, the noted lawyer, of Jacksonville, who used to be in Tennessee, I think, and is a reader of some of our papers. He CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 had been reading after me for a long time and had a desire to shake my lily black hand, which was granted, and I think I will not wash my hands for a week because they have touched that lawyer who is as busy as busy can be and is doing much in a legal way for the world. He has his name on the scroll of successful men. God bless him and his work. I came in touch with Dr. E. A. Welters, the tooth doctor dentist, the man who is doing things and putting the race on record. He is manufacturing the finest tooth powder yet on the market. It will polish the gold on your teeth, preserve them and at the same time keep them clean and white and prevent them from getting full of holes. It was remarkable to visit the plant and see the number of our people who are kept busy all the time. At the Masonic Temple I came in touch with the Rev. Dr. H. Y. Tooke of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a presiding elder, a man who speaks Latin just like English, and is considered one more Greek scholar. He can talk to the Lord in Latin, in Greek, in Hebrew and in English, and here I am, can hardly tell my troubles to Jesus in good choice English. All men are not trained alike. Dr. Tooke is not aspiring for any honors in his church just now, but he is going to work his way to the top. Just now he is asking the church CUPPEDAIRT HON. EMMETT WHEALAN to put over the Rev. Dr. R. A. Grant, and he tells the Lord if he will do this he will be satisfied just now, but will want his pie later. He will be entitled to a place at the pie counter of thought when he is through. He is a man with money, education and influence, and you are going to hear from him in Louisville, Ky., May, 1924. Praise the Lord! If I had the time and money I would just look up all of these men and women and tell you about them. I made it to St. Augustine, and will write from there later, as I am going back. Passed through Savannah, Ga., en route to Dublin, to spend a little time with the Rev. and Mrs. P. W. Wrenn, my friends. I find that they are getting ready for California, to attend the National Baptist convention, and will also be present at the Sunday School Congress in June, in New Orleans, La. That is just going to be one more great meeting, and I hope to be right on time there. From Dublin I made my way to Augusta, Georgia, and there is where I find that we are doing things. I was met at the station by Dr. G. N. Stoney, one of the leading physicians of Georgia and a man of great influence. He is one of the leading spirits in the Knights of Pythia, and a man who is a leader in thought in been a warm friend of union labor and he still carries his union card around with him. For some years he has been successfully engaged in the real estate business, being a member of the real estate firm of Klinck, Whealan and Byrne with offices at 2402 West 63rd street. The firm makes a specialty in handling real estate in the southwestern section of the city. Commissioner and Mrs. Whealan and the other members of his family reside in a lovely home at 5629 South Seeley avenue, and his troops of friends in all walks of life feel dead sure that he will be renominated for County Commissioner at the primaries Tuesday, April 11. Augusta, and is inspiring our people to do things. With Dr. G. N. Stoney, president; John A. Norfleet, vice-president; J. P. Warner, treasurer; W. H. Wilborn, secretary and manager, they have a real theatre and one of the best in Augusta. It has been erected from down in the ground up to where it is now and completed by these gentlemen. It is just crowded all the time and will soon pay for itself and pay the investors. It is in every particular first class, and I am proud that I got to see it. They also have a real bakery where a part of the city is supplied with cakes, pies and bread. Praise God for these enterprises. Dr. Stoney has saved some money also, and then he is a doctor of the highest order. He lives right in the hearts of people. He is interested in the educational development of the whole race. Of course, you remember Augusta, for it was here where Dr. C. T. Walker spent: most of his days, and this is the home of that author, poet and scholar, Dr. Silas X. Floyd, and this place gave to us our N. W. Collier, and Miss Sarah A. Blocker, and Miss Wilhimenia Johnson, and Judson W. Lyons, and I could just name a host of others, but time will not permit me to do so. Have you heard of Miss Lucy Laney, founder and principal of Haynes Institute, located in Augusta? She is one of the most remarkable women of the age, and a woman with great ability and influence. She is just one of the women of the race who stands for higher womanhood, and who is working for our boys and girls. In this direction her whole life is spent. Then off to Atlanta, where I touched many of our people. I was met at the station by Morehouse College and toted right to the home of President John Hope and was his guest. Don't you know I am getting the big head, when college presidents send down to meet me and tote me to their homes and have meals ready for me. Hush you mo'th and get out of my way or I will just walk right over you. I am associating with whales and now minnows must stand aside. Board of Cook ominated at the I came in touch with one of the next bishops in the A. M. E. Church, Dr. J. A. Lindsay, dean of Turner Theological Seminary, at Morris Brown University, and a remarkable man himself. He has been a real busy man ever since he got his diploma and stepped out into the world. He has pastored the leading churches of his connection in Savannah, Augusta, Memphis, Birmingham and again in Atlanta, and then to his present position, where he is rendering a great service, helping to prepare ministers who have been selected to carry the Word. He has been a presiding elder, secretary of Board of Missions, writing up the record, and is a graduate from Gammon. Dr. Lindsay has been recording secretary of the missionary board for 12 years, and has been honored by Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce University and Paul Quinn College. He is truly a scholar, a writer and a gospel preacher, and will be one of the bishops. He will be placed before the general church for episcopal honors in May, 1924. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. May God bless you. Send me a letter care Prof. G. A. Edwards, Kittrell, N. C. --- CHARLES E. STUMP. 1 HON.

Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiry as to my indorsement of Wallace G. Clark as a Candidate for County Treasurer. I wish to say that I not only do not indorse him, but most emphatically request that any friend of mine who has any confidence in my judgment use their utmost efforts to defeat him at the Primary. If I were not leaving the City I would delight to appear as often as possible in public in a campaign directed particularly against this man. I believe that the time has come, regardless of politics, that the Negro should stop advancing their known enemies. Very truly yours, (Signed) Dr. Geo. C. Hall, 3636 Grand Blvd Mr. Oscar De Priest, 3439 State St., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: Pursuant to our conversation over the phone, I am pleased to place in your hands this denial of ever having signed the article in the Chicago Defender under date of April 1st, purporting to sanction the Candidacy of Wallace G. Clark. My name was secured by misrepresentation, and I not only repudiate the signature, but am irrevocably opposed to the political aspirations of men of the Wallace G. Clark type. Yours truly, Dr. Chas. L. Lewis. For a long time Senator Ettelson was a member of the eminent law firm of Schuyler, Ettelson & Weinfeld, the firm consisting of Daniel J. Schuyler, Jr., Samuel A. Ettelson and Charles Weinfeld, occupying a very extensive suite of law offices on the ninth floor of the New York Life building. Senator Ettelson is one of the directors of the Chicago home for Jewish orphans. He is a member of the Metropolitan, Hamilton, I. A. C., players' director. He might be considered one of the fathers of the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, for he is ever ready to raise his voice in the State Senate at Springfield to aid it to secure appropriation for its armory and so on. It was Senator Ettelson who secured the one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars from the Legislature to construct its new armory at Thirty-fifth street and Forest avenue. As a member of the State Senate from the Third Senatorial District Senator Ettelson has directly caused to be placed on the statute books of this state many measures which will be of lasting benefit to all the people residing throughout the state of Illinois. Senator Ettelson led off in the fight for the women's ten-hour law and he has always been a strong advocate of union or organized labor. It was he who secured the passage of the act to increase the number of superior court judges in Cook County. There is no question about Senator Ettelson's re-namination at the primaries Tuesday, April 11, to make the race for the state senate from the 3rd Senatorial District of Illinois for he must be returned to the state senate so that he will be able to uphold the arms of Hon. Len Small and Mayor William Hale Thompson. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 DEFENDER SATUR- 1922, PUBLISHED A BOF DOWN-RIGHT, AND LIES WHEN IT THAT DOCTORS HALL, CHARLES L. HARPER, W. F.

Westbrooks, president of the Cook County Bar Association, has become one of the leading Republican candidates for one of the Municipal Court Judges, six year term. Mr. Westbrooks easily measures up with the best white lawyers in this city and he would make an ideal Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago. His name can be found next to the last name on the Municipal Court ballot, and by putting a cross in front of his name, and not voting for any one else, your vote will count 30 times. HON.

Clark and his kind, seeking the suf- frage of my Racial group. Mr. Davis of 37th and Dearborn streets told me that he had used my name to indorse some friend of his.

Martin B. Madden, few men in Congress have the moral courage or the manhood to stand up and contend for the civil and political rights of the Colored race, and to bitterly cry out aloud against the unspeakable and outrageous wrongs which are constantly being perpetrated upon the race. Hon Elliott W. Sproul, member of Congress from the Third Congressional District of Illinois, stands in the same class with Hon. Martin B. Madden, in that respect, and in spite of the cowardly threats and bulldozing on the part of the Negro hating southern congressmen. Congressman Sproul not only voted for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, but delivered the best speech that he had ever made while urging his associates to do likewise, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with Hon. Martin B. Madden, during that trying and exciting period. Congressman Sproul is heartily in favor of a Bonus for soldiers and sailors and a pension for widows and orphans, regardless of their race or nationality. He has worked hard, early and late, in the interest of all the people residing in the Third Congressional District and as he is a true and sincere friend of the Colored people, each and every Colored man and woman in his district should on Tuesday, April 11, assist to re-nominate him.

CHARLES RINGER, REPUBLICAN CANDADE FOR COUNTY TREASURER SAYS FOR HIMSELF: methods, assuring accurate records and a maximum of work with a minimized payroll. In times like these strict economy and no extravagance What I believe you want to know from me, more than anything else, is how I propose to run the office of county treasurer if I am elected! what specific and unevadible pledges I give to assure all the interest on public funds being turned into the county treasury; whether certain banks will be favored over others as depositories; whether funds, when collected, will be held back from the city and other branches of our local government at times when they need these funds. As specifically and unevasively as possible, I hereby give my pledge that every cent of interest on public funds deposited with me shall go into the public treasury; that my salary will be my sole emolument and that I will not derive so much as one cent of profit from my custodianship. Is that plain, frank and conclusive? If I could make it any more definite, I would do so in a minute. True, there is a law covering the handling of county funds, but it remained for my opponent to suggest in a campaign speech that laws may be evaded. The law will NOT be evaded if I am elected, but on the contrary I shall take pride in observing both its letter and spirit. There will be no "get banks." Moreover, I assure you that there will be no undue delay in the apportionment of the funds among the proper taxing bodies. Such delays, I am aware, have been the subject of frequent criticism during other regimes. Economy will result from such a prompt distribution. It will be my ambition to have my office conducted with efficiency as well as integrity. I promise business 86 86 FEU HON. ROBERT M.

FISHER SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF HON. CHAS RINGER, REPUBLICAN CAN- DIDATE FOR COUNTY TREAS- URER. As a loyal American citizen, I deeply deplore the fact that it is even necessary to define the attitude, toward my race group, of any man seeking a public office. Nevertheless, it gives me genuine pleasure to say that during the 30 years in which I have been actively engaged in public affairs, I have never found a man more fair-minded, more disposed to give his fellow man a square deal than is Hon. Charles Ringer, member of the Board of Assessors and Republican candidate for County Treasurer. I can doubly assure the members of my race that they will make no mistake by voting for Charles Ringer, Republican candidate for County Treasurer. 1911 Asbury Ave., Evanston, Ill.

MUELLER WILL BE RENOMINATED AND RE-ELECTED TRUSTEES OF THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO. ARE WE TO HAVE A NEGRO LITERATURE? There is some question relative to our literary possibilities. As to our literary adaptation and acquisitiveness, there is not any doubt in the minds of even our very worst enemies. We have read everything translated about all that had to be and analyzed, differentiated and defined the last tracts of intellectual life on this little hemisphere. Literature of any people denotes not merely history, it embraces a larger life than the American Negro has ever experienced. The works of Dumas, and Ruskin, as well as many other great Negro authors and writers of Europe, abound in historical facts, drama, comedy with something akin to a spirit of defiance. There was no evidence of Negro life so they portrayed the life of humanity on the colossal scale, not diminished by separate and distinct rings, races or cliques. We might supply the world with here and there a splash of patriotism, a flash of genius; we might even supply a gorgeous panorama without a plantation of cotton and the mule forgotten; without also the mannerisms of the old-time uncles and aunties, tied to remembrances: that reek with hell, but sugar-coated with that infernal anxiety to forever be inferior to something white. Held in subjugation and showered for well nigh three centuries with the infamy of the damned, most of what our books would treat would be a recounting of the unfit and persistence of one race to degrade another race. There is music and song, some prancing and dancing that possibly would lend dignity for a time at least until the "Blues," ragtime and jazz fermented and bubbled over from the underworld, then the ugly touches of ignorance worse than blasphemy itself would maraud the glorious prospect of a Negro literature. Some very remarkable efforts have been recorded and there is already some evidence that the mind of the race will bear transcription and bejeweled with imagery and idealities may reflect a sober philosophy of worthwhile life. A literature of romance, poetry art and history may be in the making. Many, no doubt who have never given the matter a thought would take the affirmative side of the subject if the question was brought up for debate. As far back as recorded literary data there are traces of Negro genius, achievements in art. There is much beauty that needs the honest brush of the Negro artist. Eloquent truths that need the bold strokes of the Negro pen. Songs and music dripping with the soul timed rhapsody that need the dulcit notes of the Negro. Romance richer than the Italian and Spanish stories of Straparola. When it is known that intellectually our race suffers by comparison with any other race, our only excuse obtains in the acknowledgment of our own humiliation. We have got to hark back to the devil days before the white-race caught a religious gaze upon the white line of truth in the dark face of the black man, then Lincoln, Douglass, John Brown and the rest of them gilded truth with the gold of human nature. Albert Whitman wrote "The Rape of Lucrece." Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote "The Uncalled." Frances Harper wrote "Shadows Uplifted." Anna J. Coope wrote "A Voice from the South." J. A. Rogers wrote "From Man to Superman." W. E. Dubois wrote "Soul of Black Folks" and "Dark Water." While Dr. Alexander Crummel, Frederick Douglass, Phyllis Whestley, Bishop Daniel A. Payne, W. S. Scarborough, Dr. Book 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.

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. Mueller, warm associate and running mate of Mr. Lawley, 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 er T. Washington, William Pickens, Dr. W. A. Sinclair, Dr. M. A. Majors, T. Thomas Fortune, Dr. William J. Simmons, George W. Williams, Dr. William McCune Smith and the Grimike brothers have all struck with their pens the keys of literary harmony and breathed into existence the far fetched idealism of Negro authorship. Poetry from the facile pen of Negro genius has mellowed somewhat the human heart. It has touched the tenderest chords of music and vibrated like the scillating rays of a powerful light throughout this pulsing cosmos. Environment has had, and will ever have much to do with human development and progress. With a steady growth in the races upreach will come multiplying incentives and opportunities yet unborn which will beckon onward the aggressive spirits of our intellectual life to aspirations, and determinations grander than we have ever yet dreamed. Dumas and Ruskin, Phyllis Wheatley, Dr. William McCune Smith, Samuel Ringgold Ward and Frederick Douglass lighted torches of literature that will burn forever. They soared to sublime heights and left there beaming stronger lights that are to be our guide in all the future greater years of our greater Negro life. RYAN HANDLES CERMAK WITH GLOVES OFF Asks Democratic Opponent for Coun- ty Board Head Where "Slashes" Will Be Made Hon. Daniel Ryan, President of the County Board, on Tuesday slammed some hot queries at his Democratic opponent, A. J. Cermak. He demanded a showdown on the latter's claims that, if elected, he will slash county government expenses right and left. He branded Cermak's insinuations of "extravagance" as mere political fol-de-rol, and declared that Cermak's talk proves he is woefully ignorant as to county affairs. "Such glittering generalities are pure 'bunk'," said President Ryan. "We are conducting the county's business with an eye always to economy, and are reducing expenses as rapidly as the nation's return to normal conditions will permit. This gentleman should be more specific in his talk. "Does Mr. Cermak, if elected—which he won't be—propose to slash the outlay for mothers' pensions, for which purpose the law provides a specific tax of 4 cents on each hundred dollars' valuation? This tax, approved by every civic body in Cook County, yields around $700,000 annually. "Does Cermak propose to reduce expenses for jurors, whose compensation is fixed by law at $3 a day? If so, how? Jury service costs Cook County about $430,000 a year. "Will Cermak reduce the payments to industrial schools, over which the County Board has no jurisdiction, except to pay on commitments made by the judge of the Juvenile Court? If so, how? "Will Cermak reduce the outlay for nursing service at the Cook County Hospital, which has attained a nation-wide reputation for excellence? This nursing service today, as for the past thirty-five years, is under supervision of the Illinois Training School for Nurses, an institution endorsed by every civic body in Chicago and Cook County. That costs around $400,000 annually. "Will Cermak reduce the 'relief for the blind' fund? Lower Food Standard "Will Cermak lower the standard of food purchased for the 3,500 inmates of the Oak Forest institutions, and for the 1,600 patients at the County Hospital? For the last six years these supplies have been purchased by 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 Plattdutchen 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. present superintendent of public service, who is one of Cermak's own running mates in this election. "Does Cermak propose to reduce either in quantity or quality, the food rations furnished the county's indigent poor by the county agent?" "Will Cermak slash the annual appropriation allotted the state's attorney for the prosecution of crime and criminals, now approximating $500,000, when at this very moment the state's attorney is asking $100,000 additional for that very purpose? "Will Cermak blot out the tax for road maintenance and repairs, which will be just one-half of the limit of 25 cents on each hundred dollars' valuation which the law directs? Our people demand good roads, and Cook County today has more modernly paved roads than any other county in the whole United States." Will the Hon. Anton J. Cermak please stand up and lead us in prayer? THE BROAD AX SCOOP We admit we are "scoped." EDITOR JULIUS F. TAYLOR, colored, in the current issue of his "Broad Ax," proclaims the following eight-column headlines across the front page: "JUDGE JOHN R. CAVERLY, while presiding over the small claims branch of the Municipal Court of Chicago, in the spring of 1919, in the most Short-Sighted and Arbitrary Manner R ruled that no Newspaper Owner could Collect a bill for Advertising unless he could Produce a Signed Contract by the Party Who Authorized It, Thereby enabling Hon Anton J. Cermak to Run Rough-Shod over Julius F. Taylor for Thirty-Five Dollars." Under the headlines is presented a three-column "inside" story of the $35 case—from Editor Taylor's standpoint. The above article or comment was dished up in the Chicago Evening American by Col. William H. Stuart, Saturday evening, March 25, and we are proud of the fact that Col. Stuart permitted the more than five hundred thousand readers of the Evening American to take a peep at the dubious side of the Hon. Anton J. Cermak, for when a white gentleman who claims to belong to the superior race will beat a colored newspaper editor out of the small sum of thirty-five dollars he cannot be classed with honest and straight-forward business men. It seems mighty hard for the Hon. Anton J. Cermak, to play the part of a gentleman who is the big Democratic boss of the Twelfth Ward, for one day during the first part of last week we came in contact with Mr. Sonny Sunshine on the second floor of the Sherman House and while conversing with him in reference to the thirty-five dollars which the Hon. Anton J. Cermak still wes us the big boss strutted by us and he exclaimed to Mr. Sonny Sunshine: "Stop talking to him and come with me, and if he bothers you why don't you have him pinched and we can live in this city for twenty-five years without paying the slightest attention to Mr. Sonny Sunshine and any time that the Hon. Anton J. Cermak attempts to have us pinched for what has been said in these columns about him we will have our sharp lawyers to take his home away from him. Who said dead rats!

Associated with Mr. Johnson are Dr. B. M. Rhetta and Professor Broadus Mitchell of the Johns Hopkins University. This survey, which is to record wages and conditions of labor, the progress and advancement on the job by industrial workers and the social conditions of their families, will be completed in from four to six weeks and the findings will be submitted as a basis for a practical program of improvement to be furthered by a group of interested Baltimore citizens. Mr. Johnson recently made a survey of the Negroes of Hartford and Flushing, L.

As a suc- As the great primary contest draws to a close, and the bitter fighting between the various factions of the Republican and Democratic parties is almost over, everything seems to clearly indicate that Hon.

For years he has been a steadfast friend of the Colored race. As a suc- cessful contractor, he has for years employed all the time eight or ten Colored men, paying them the union scale of wages. The first part of the present winter Mr. Ryan selected Miss Gertrude James as an Investigator in the office of the County Agent. It is the first time that a young Colored lady has been chosen to serve in that capacity. Therefore, the Colored men and women in this city and county should assert their political independence on Tuesday, April 11, and assist to renominate Hon. Daniel Ryan for President of the Board of County Commissioners. In the past, Mr. Hoffman, as corner 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. M. HOFFMAN Pioneer That Cook County Has Ever can Candidate for Sheriff of This 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-roaring 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 sadoon 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 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 we 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.

Elizabeth St., Chicago, Ill. Phone Wentworth 2597 JULIUS F. TAYLOR Editor and Publisher 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 enforcible 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 law in the State of Illinois that required a contract of the kind in question to be in writing. 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 enforcible 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 thoughless 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. Swift and the Hon. Anton J. Cermak. --- --- 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 sisters 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 feet, Judge Caverly has become the 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 blow from a legal point of view. THE LAWS GOVERNING PAS- ROLE (ORAL), WRITTEN AGREEMENTS OR UNWRIT- TEN 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.'"

Douglas is finishing up his two terms in the Legislature, and he has been a real force in the Legislative halls at Springfield, in the way of placing colored men and women in positions which they never held before. Being well known to all the big politicians in this state, and being one of the powerful leaders of the Deneen wing of the Republican party in this state, he can accomplish more for the colored people and for the people in general than anyone who has never been a member of the Lower House at Springfield, and Mr. Douglas feels more than positive that he will be renominated at the primaries Tuesday, April 11, to make the race for the Legislature from the 3rd Senatorial District of Illinois. 1 HON.

Part 3 (Printed for’ the use of the = jcommittee on Haiti and Santo Domingo. | Washington Government Printing Office, 1922, May be ob- tained free on application to. Elisha Hanson, Clerk, Select Committee on Haiti and San Domingo.) Much has been written on Haiti jand Santo Domingo, but this govern- ment document is the most human jwork that I have yet seen. We have: jin it a testimony taken in Haiti for five days and testimony and reports jof the United States occupation in ‘Santo Domingo. The Haitian mate- ial is the more readable. It was se- cured at Port au Prince, Hinche, and the plantation of Adalaye. Then, to the intense disappointment of the Hai- tians, the Commission went on to San Domingo, leaving a large part of the island quiet unvisited. But they heard Stories that should hate startled Amer- ‘ica had they been reported. Here are a few of them. M. Jose Derebier at Hinche: “Two brothers of mine, one 15, the other 25, were killed. The one 25 was a crip- ple. He was sitting on a bed of rice when a white man with a revolver killed him. He took the other boy by the arm, and said, ‘Come out of here, garcon,’ and with the same revolver shot him twice.” Madame Maxine: “I have to tell the Commission of how my mother and brother were killed. My brother ‘came and called me after my mother| was shot. There were three white men going along the road. They = passing and they came in. My mother was shot through the side and in both breasts.

They were killed by marines = the command of Becker. I was sleep- jing in another house. They took my | father and tied him to a tree, my mother was standing inside, and then set fire to the house. When my |mother cried out they called her in- side the house. There was another | boy in the house and when they shot my mother, the boy saw that they had tied up my father and ran out, and [when he came out they started shoot- ing at him until he had time to reach a ravine; and when he fell into the, ravine they left him and came back ‘and killed my father, breaking his! ae | Mme.

There were eight chil- ‘dren; they were shot first and then fire was set to the house and they were ‘all burned.” | One feels that the volume ought to ‘have another name: “Lynchings by “Americans. Volume two, Haiti.” These ‘stories tally only too well with the, atrocities committed against the Ne-| ‘gros in the United States. Here is ‘the same carelessness as to human life, ‘the same burning, the same torturing. | ‘There is further testimony of reputable ‘citizens who were thrown out of their ‘homes that the marines might occupy them; imprisoned without trial, tor- tured. One man was burned with on | iron over his body and legs. Another was handcuffed and then hung up to an iron bar by a chain attached to his wrists, because he would not lend his horse to a marine. Throughout all the testimony, one reads of a tragic, brutal treatment of a foreign people, whose country we have no more right to role than they would have to rule ours. — Of Santo Domingo the report “I concerned largely with statistics show- | ing the growth of trade, the building | of roads, the establishment of a since the American occupation. It is| an interesting setting forth of the = perial policy into which we have en- tered. But somehow the Santo Do- minicans don't like it. It is some- thing as though Andrew Carnegie, when he saw that our country needed more libraries, instead of offering to help finance a library if the town would raise a part of the needed sum, had raised a regiment, gone into the town, fired shots, imprisoned those, the most prominent citizens, who dared to defy him and had then taxed the people for the library, that he be- lieved they ought to have. His money would not have gone for books, but for soldiers and bullets. We should have had the libraries, but I doubt if we should have enjoyed them.

Scott, at present an Assist- ant State's Attorney under Judge Crowe, and a candidate for County Commissioner on the Regular Repub- lican ticket. When the Race was in need of friends—during the race riot in 1919, Mr. Scott very unselfishly volunteered his services as a lawyer and went to the defense of our boys in jail, and for months he battled in the Municipal Courts of Chicago and the Criminal Courts of Cook County, succeeding in having a large number exonerated. His remarkable defense of John Washington in the Criminal Court—Judge Robert E. Crowe pre- siding—can never be forgotten, and now that Mr. Scott is a candidate for County Commissioner his friends. should rally to his united support, he certainly deserves the honor Mr. Scott's long years of residence in Chi- cago has endeared the people of his Race to him, because he has always tried to deliver the American armyrescued from its own weakness. over to the British, But in this re-These are the reasons given, but the port we learn that not the Benedictreal reason is different from either; Arnolds but the Washingtons are theit is that the imperial power wants to traitors.

His so- called defeat, two years ago, for Mu- nicipal Court Judge, at the Republican primary, has been shrouded in mys- tery ever since. It is very difficult to understand how, the “Chicago Tri- bune” and “Daily News” could have been so badly mistaken when each announced Mr. Scott’s nomination for that judgship after the primary. Do not fail to go to the polls on Primary Day—the Ilth day of April —and place a cross in the square op- posite the name of James A. Scott, candidate for County Commissioner. He is worthy of your support, and if nominated and elected to that office, will reflect credit and honor upon the whole Race. Mr. Scott ranks with the best and ablest lawyers in this section of the county, he ably served as Assistant State’s Attorney under the late John E. W. Wayman; he was one of the very first appointments made by Hon. Robert E. Crowe, and he was placed in complete charge of the Habeas Corpus and Extradition department and from that time to the present no one has ever questioned his legal ability or any of his actions in con- nection with it. In fact, State's At- torney Crowe has never visited his department to ascertain why he had failed to do thus or so. ‘Mr. Scott possesses much literary ability for he is the author of a very valuable text or law book on Habeas Corpus and extradition, which is used by all the leading lawyers throughout the United States.
