The Broad Ax

Col. Robert Lincoln Taylor Utterly Failed to Induce Col. Robert S. Abbott and His Chicago Defender to Fall in Line for Hon. Peter M. Hoffman for the Nomination for Sheriff of Cook County. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, TWO OR THREE LINES APPEARED ON THE EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE DEFENDER IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINATION OF MR. HOFFMAN IN A WEAK WAY, AND IT IS CLAIMED THAT ON ITS ADVERTISING PAGES IT SHOOK HIM DOWN FOR SEVENTY-FIVE TO ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AN ADVERTISEMENT WHICH WAS ARRANGED IN SUCH A WAY IN THE PAPER THAT ITS TEN MILLION READERS WOULD BE COMPELLED TO READ ALL ABOUT H. C. W. LAUBENHEIMER FIRST BEFORE THEIR EYES WOULD FALL UPON THE ADVERTISEMENT OR THE PICTURE OF MR. HOFFMAN. Read The Broad Ax and be happy VOL. XXVII. Col. Ro Col. Ro to Fall Nomina SATURDAY, APRIL LINES APPEAR TORIAL PAGE IN FAVOR OF OF MR. HOFF WAY, AND IT ON ITS ADVER SHOOK HIM DO FIVE TO ONE H FOR AN ADVER WAS ARRANG IN THE PAPER LION READERS PELLED TO RE C. W. LAUBEN FORE THEIR E UPON THE AD THE PICTURE Two or three weeks prior to the late primaries Col. Bob. Lincoln Taylor, who lives on the outskirts of Desplaines, Ill., where it is said that he does not have to pay any house rent and live in among the common colored people in this city, headed a delegation of prominent colored citizens who called on Hon. Peter M. Hoffman and assured him, that they toted all the votes of the colored people around in thier hip pockets. The leading members of the delegation were as follows: Col. Bob. Lincoln Taylor, telephone operator in the rooms of the Board of election commissioners; Col. Julius N. Auendorph, Col. Robert S. Abbott, the head editor of the greatest weekly newspaper in the world; Col. F. A. Denison, Col. Wm. R. Cowan, Col. F. S. Delaney, Col. Geo. H. Walker, who has always been practically unknown in the game of politics and broadly speaking, this is true of all of the above mentioned Colonels; and Col. John R. Auter, who some way or other got mixed up with twelve thousand dollars belonging to the Knights of Pythias. It is claimed that Col. Bob. Lincoln Taylor as the main dog in the meat house who cannot or does not vote in this city informed Mr. Hoffman that he and the other members of his high class delegation proposed to send out a general letter or an address to all the colored people residing in this city and county through the columns of the colored press urging them to loyally support Mr. Hoffman at the primaries for the nomination for sheriff of Cook county, that the great Chicago defender would turn over heaven and Hades in its effort to induce its five thousand readers in this city to record their votes in favor of the nomination of Mr. Hoffman for sheriff, for only last year when R. W. Hunter, the fly-by-night banker, got into all kinds of trouble, and had his day in the United States courts, Col. Abbott, under oath before Judge K. M. Landis, testified that his Chicago defender had five thousand circulation in Chicago; that its ten million readers did not reside nor belong in this city, and so on. The writer just naturally labored under the impression that after that THE BROAD AX delegation of' prominent colored citizens had called on Mr. Hoffman and each one of its members had done so much loud talking, that the picture of Mr. Hoffman would appear on the front page of the Chicago defender and that each week after the delegation had called on him that two or three columns of editorial matter advocating his nomination for sheriff and setting forth his friendship for the colored race would be flashed up to its readers but we regret to say that such was not the case. It is true that on Saturday, April 1, two or three lines in favor of his nomination did appear on its editorial page but they were mixed up or in with so many other names that no one could tell whether they were praising or cursing Mr. Hoffman. On that same date, April 1, almost two weeks before the primaries, one of its advertising pages contained a small cut of Mr. Hoffman and some reading matter plainly marked advertisement, which was run on the fifth or sixth column on an inside page—it being placed behind the cut and reading matter belonging to H. C. W. Laubenheimer, whatever his name might be and the readers of the defender were forced to read all about Mr. Laubenheimer before they could come in contact with the picture and reading matter pertaining to Mr. Hoffman as Mr. Laubenheimer had the place of honor on that advertising page. Some claim, but it may not be true, that some of the gentlemen connected with the Chicago defender shook Mr. Hoffman down for seventy-five or one hundred dollars for its failure to weakly support him to the end for the defender Saturday, April 8, at the very time that he needed newspaper support did not contain one line nor word in any manner, shape or form, in relation to his nomination for sheriff of Cook county. In conclusion it must be distinctly understood that The Broad Ax was the only newspaper in this city published in the interest of the colored race which loyally stood by Mr. Hoffman to the end and marched on to victory with him.

MEDILL McCORMICK, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILINOIS. Monday evening, April 24, the members of the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand boulevard, held a reception in honor of Hon. Medill McCormick, United States Senator from Illinois, who at considerable length, delivered an instructive talk on the "American Occupation of Haiti." Prior to his final introduction by Mr. N. B. Brascher, extended and short remarks were delivered by: President S. A. T. Watkins; Col. John R. Marshall, vice-president; D. B. Hawley, Mr. A. L. Bates, Assistant State's Attorney of Cook country; and Prof. Harrison Emanuel, rendered several violin solos and Mr. Hugh Buchanan, executed in the most pleasing manner several vocal solos. Senator McCormick being selected by President Harding, as the chairman of the Senate committee to investigate into the affairs of the American Occupation of Haiti, and he has devoted a great deal of time and attention in that direction. He has made frequent trips to Haiti, which is considered the garden spot of the world, in order to familiarize himself and the other members of his Investigation committee with its internal affairs or mode of government. Senator McCormick clearly indicated that although this government had fallen far short in carrying out all of the provisions set up in the last Treaty, which it entered into with the public officials of Haiti about six years ago, nevertheless, under the American Occupation a stable form of government is being gradually firmly established in all parts of Haiti which in time will be beneficial to all of its inhabitants. $5,000,000 LOAN URGED FOR LIBRERIA BY HUGHES Washington.—The United States is morally obligated to keep its promise of extending $5,000,000 credit to Liberia and must make the loan or "suffer a lamentable loss of respect before the world."

ATTACK ON GIRL SENDS 11 THE S BOYS TO PRISON OF L Eleven youths, ranging in age from 17 to 22, declared by Assistant State's Attorney Charles S. Wharton to constitute "one of the worst gangs of ruffians in Chicago," received sentences of one year in the Illinois state penitentiary as the result of an attack on a 23-year old girl last November. Those sentenced were Rocco Marchesi, Robert Anselone, Michael Summati, Michael Tuscano, Rocco Grippo, Nick Antonetti, Rocca Marino, Michael Favia, Michael Maggio, James Valenti and Joseph Bandresi. The girl was attacked as she was returning home from a dance early on the evening of Sunday, November 13. Two men rushed up to her as she stood on the corner waiting for a street car and snatched her purse. Two others came up and on pretext of assisting her to find the thief, lured her to the deserted Erie Inn, W. Erie st. and N. Racine av. There they attacked her. Later the victim was attacked by four others, to whom she was taken on pretext of obtaining medical treatment. They will be tried later. Each and every one of these white gentlemen should be hung up by their necks until they are dead, without trial or jury as a warning to others not to commit such crimes upon a self-respecting and decent young woman-Editor. RECITAL AT THE BEREAN BAP- TIST CHURCH WAS A VERY PLEASANT AFFAIR. Tuesday evening, April 25, Prof. Isaac T. Yarbrough conductor of the splendid choir at Berean Baptist Church, 52nd and Dearborn streets, presented Jamesanna Weathers, its leading soprano songstress in recital. Cordelia Yarbrough, accompanist and Mary Perryman secretary. Madam Weathers possesses one of the most charming soprano voices of any of the noted singers in Chicago and the recital in her honor was in every way a highly delightful affair. --- THE SO-CALLED COMMITTEE OF LEADING COLORED CITIZENS WHO CALLED ON HON. PETER M. HOFFMAN FAILED TO NOTIFY MRS. BERTHA MONTGOMERY TO ACCOMPANY IT. To show how small some of the leading colored gentlemen are who composed the delegation which called on Hon. Peter M. Hoffman the latter part of March and falsely promised him that they would do everything in their power to further his nomination for sheriff of Cook County, and then failed to do anything for him without some of the long green or some of the real money, ran clear over Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, who made it possible for the delegation to meet Mr. Hoffman, utterly failed to notify her when they were ready to call on him. Not withstanding the fact that she and hundreds of her lady friends in all parts of this city and county as members of the Woman's Cook County Permanent Republican Club, worked very hard for the success of Mr. Hoffman at the primaries. NEW ATTRACTIONS AT THE AVENUE THEATRE, INDIANA AVENUE NEAR THIRTY-FIRST STREET, MR. TOM NORMAN, MANAGER. Wednesday evening, May 3, opening night the Avenue Theatre will present the great sensational drama, "Scandal," with a good high class capable company of players. Also high class vaudeville between the acts of the play and orchestra concert, to enliven the whole show, with highly interesting Photo Plays interwoven. It will be known as a combination show and it goes without saying, that it will greatly please the many patrons of the Avenue Theatre. Its manager, Mr. Tom Norman, leaves no stones unturned in an effort to secure the best moving pictures and the best vaudeville acts in existence. The past week Jack Johnson and his far-famed All Star Vaudeville Company have been playing to crowded houses. --- "IS AMERICA SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY?" By William McDougall (Published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Price $1.75. Postage 10 cents.) This book preaches the gospel of the eugneists, improve the stock of the race. Let the strong, the mentality and morally efficient have many children. If birth control is to be practiced let it be at the bottom of society, not at the top. "There is no good reason for the belief that civilized man is in any way superior to his savage ancestors. In fact the probability seems to be that he is (statistically) inferior." Under civilization qualities tend to deteriorate rather than to improve, and it has been the deterioration of racial stock that has caused the eclipse of each civilization in the past. These are some of the things that Prof. McDougall of Harvard University says in his six lectures given at the Lowell Institute in Boston. They are provocative of much thought and as I read them also of both amusement and indignation. My indignation is at the writer's attitude toward the Negro. His use of figures regarding psychological tests of colored children is of course entirely proper, but when he gives as his chief authority on Negro traits that antiquated last century, kindly Kentucky professor, N. S. Shaler, and when he quotes a servant girl anecdote as conclusive evidence of the submissiveness of the black people, he is ridiculous. He would not dream of writing that way regarding any other group of people, not even the Germans who since the war have become distinctly inferior to the French, and whose scholarship may be sneered at. But one's amusement becomes indignation at the trick played in the appendix. We have here three pictures introduced by the caption. "Commentary on the proposition that all men are born with equal capacities for moral and mental development." And below that in much larger letters. "Portraits of three men all of whom in their youths were denied the advantage of schooling and the refinements of civilization." The first portrait is Abraham Lincoln. The second Tama Bulan, a Bornee chief, who did very much for his people. Before turning the page to see who the third would be, I stopped to guess. I felt sure it would be a Negro and thought first of Washington, then I believed he would be too light in color and decided on Dr. Moton or some very able African, turned and found the picture of "an inferior type of a very low order of savage." And this is part of the caption under it. "We are told nothing of his moral and intellectual qualities; but the most resolutely optimistic humanarians will hardly claim him as a "mute inglorious Milton" or even a "village Hampden." Nor is it easy to suppose that they could contemplate with equanimity the substitution of the Anglo-American stock by persons of this type." Now this is just the sort of trick that was played upon the Negro fifteen or even ten years ago, but that I had believed today impossible. Let us be glad it is unusual. But it starts one, (if as like myself, one begins with the pictures at the end of the book) with a fear lest the author will be prejudiced in favor of his own race and the fear is immediately realized. And this is the second count against Prof. McDougall, he places his own race at the top. Because of her superior mental and moral qualities, England has conquered the world. He compares the Nordic with the Medi- 5 CENTS per copy No. 32 Induce efender for the CHAT white Ovington terranean races, and finds that the Nordic, his own race, is the better qualified of the two. Especially he emphasizes her tenacity and her assertiveness. These qualities make her the great conqueror, and he speaks with enthusiasm of her rule in India. One is reminded in reading the book of Lothrop Stoddard's, "Rising Tide of Color." Both writers show the same fear at the threatened downfall of the white man's present civilization. How to strengthen it, is McDougall's question, and his answer is by adding mere assertive and tenacious people to the population by the careful breeding of selected types. This can be done by subsidizing selected families as they bring forth children. I was in London when an International Committee on Eugenics was meeting at Dublin and I remember reading a witty account of their proceedings. They were described as spending their days in endeavoring to find out how best to reproduce a race that should be indistinguishable a Committee of their Own Committee. This is Prof. McDougall's attitude and it greatly impairs, "Is America safe for Democracy?" But putting this self-admiration aside and looking at the people of America quite apart from race, we find that our civilization tends to a deterioration in stock. The city is one cause, that whirlpool into which the best youth comes, enjoys itself, does good work, but does not bring up large families, and often brings up no families at all. Feminism has kept many able women from marrying who formerly would have married merely to have a home. Modern warfare, that most terrible of all non-eugenic forces, keeps the unfit at home and sends the keen-eyed and quick-witted into danger, prevents their marriage, often returns them diseased or leaves them on the battle field. And all the while we are inventing new processes, adding new things to our already complex life so that we need an ever increasing keenness of intelligence to keep up with the life about us. While the demands go up the stock goes down. This is the somewhat gloomy view that our writer gives us. I should enjoy discoursing on it, but it is he who is writing on eugenics, not I. I would, however, make one suggestion. It is that the psychological tests, he often quotes that are given so commonly now to children, and that are used in rating ability, be arranged by very divergent types of people. Let us have the North American Indian, for instance, whom Prof. McDougall of course finds stupid, devise tests for the sons and daughters of Harvard professors, tests such as the Indian would want his child to pass; let the Negro with his extraordinary musical ability and deep artistic spirit, set the tests for the child of the Nordic race. Tests like this would be interesting for they would show the great diversity in our civilization, not simply the attainments along certain specified lines. Past civilizations and present civilizations are based upon force and upon an enslaved or near-enslaved working-class population. The best blood rules for a while and then is ruled by the blood of those who have been despised. Former aristocrats are governed by Cooks and Bakers; Tailors, Drapers and Glovers; Gardners, Shepards, Fishers and Seamen; Tanners, Potters, Carpenters and Plummers; Wrights and multitudinous Smiths. What a comedown! And yet you will find all these names not only in the telephone book but in a college catalogue. If our civilization is to endure does not it need not so much the continuation of the stock that is ruling at any given time, as the bringing into play all that is best in all the stock. If we had that we should certainly have a civilization unlike anything in the past. But its basis could be neither force nor exploitation, and perhaps it is too much to expect Prof. McDougall even to imagine it.

A. C. P. SPRING DRIVE OPENED MONDAY, APRIL 24 Culminates in Anti-Lynching Confer- ence in Newark, June 18-23— "Lynch Law Must Go" Is Slogan "Lynch Law Must Go" is the slogan of the Spring Drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which opened Monday, April 24, and culminated in an anti-lynching conference in Newark, N. J., from June 18 to 23. The entire weight of the Association's forces throughout the United States is to be applied in an organized pressure toward the enactment by the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, already passed by the House of Representatives. There is no doubt felt in the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. that President Harding will sign the measure if and when the Senate enacts it. In fact, the President's signature is looked upon as a foregone conclusion. The N. A. A. C. P. campaign on the Dyer Bill has already been begun in two states, Michigan and New Jersey, where local elections are made to hinge on that issue. Colored voters and the press throughout the country are being asked to make it clear that the Republican party will be held responsible for non-performance of its duty and its pledge to pass some such legislation as the Dyer Bill. Secretary Johnson's Statement In opening the N. A. A. C. P. Spring Drive, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, said: "The Dyer Bill was passed in the House of Representatives because colored people in the United States worked together for that end. It will be passed in the Senate for the same reason. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People believes that the Dyer Bill is an excellent object lesson in the value of working together. If we can accomplish so much in one direction, we can in others as well. Therefore, we want active, enthusiastic members. If half a million colored Americans join the N. A. A. C. P., each individual will be part of an immense power working through organized machinery, which will make the Negro's just claims felt in the Nation. For the Negro, as for all humanity, 'In Union There Is Strength.' Join the N. A. A. C. P.' Southern Branches Active Southern branches are especially active in the N. A. A. C. P. drive this year, among them being the branches in Houston. El Paso, Corpus Christi and Dallas, Texas: Houston has undertaken to reorganize the branches in Texas that became dormant at the time of the assault on John R. Shillady. New Orleans, La., branch is in the midst of a canvass for 5,000 members and Shreveport has also vigorously entered the drive. Most of the branches in Florida and many Arkansas branches have made their preparations to start at the word "Go." No timidity is being shown by southern branches in the method of their campaign. Houston placing window cards in the homes of their members, inscribed with the words: "This Family 100 Per Cent Members N. A. A. C. P." The branch in the national capital, Washington, D. C., has set itself the largest quota, seeking to obtain 25,000 members, and Chicago and New York follow with quotas of 10,000 each. # [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON.

If you cherish an idea that modern society's pace-demands sensational girls, chatter-boxes, hoydens, jazz-jiggers and such, you are away off. Men never change in their instincts. If hoopskirts and cork screw girls of our grandmother's day came back into style tomorrow, the modern male would plunge into love making down to the last man. Men believe in most old-fashioned things. American men particularly cherish every tradition that goes to afford the fair sex respect and idealization. The girls of a generation ago were shy and diffident and retiring. Esgo modern man finds these qualities still charming. Diffident girls attract sweethearts by the very fact of their spiritual aloofness. Even the vamps are doing it now! Sometimes men marry them, sometimes they don't. It all depends. Down, way down in his soul, man generally hopes to get a quiet, easy-going maiden for a life mate, so that when old age with its storms comes creeping along he may have a home and a comforter. But, alas, in the days of joy, he sometimes goes just a little bit too far. In his search for "wine, women and song," he may run across one of those smooth, good-time girls who jolles him into believing that she never really loved until she met him, and that without him, she would be lost forever. He marries to save her soul, and so loses his own. CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY APRIL 29, 1922 TUSKEGEE'S TRUSTEE CHAIR MAN DISAGREES WITH "BIRTHRIGHT" AUTHOR Tuskegee Institute, Alabama—"Few Negroes in real life have blundered as Peter Siner did," said William G. Willcox, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in a recent letter to T. S. Stribling, the author of the novel, "Birthright," which ran serially in the Century Magazine and now appears in book form. Mr. Willcox's letter to Mr. Stribling is as follows: "I have just read 'Birthright' with much interest and I am tempted to ask if you had any definite object in writing it? "The description of conditions at 'Niggertown' is a vivid picture of the aftermath of slavery. It is, as I suppose you intended, a description of conditions which existed in the worst sections of the South and which confronted anyone who sought to educate or improve the Negro people. Unfortunately such conditions are not confined to any race or section and it would not be difficult to find similar pictures among the white immigrants and factory operators in the North. Such pictures do not indicate the character of capacity of the race as a whole but rather the morbid conditions resulting from the environment of a particular group. "Peter Siner represents a weak man who has been given a college course without any solid foundation either in education or in moral character. His dismal failure furnishes a strong endorsement of Booker Washington's theory that Negro education must begin with fundamental training of the hand, the mind and the character, and build from the ground up. Few Negroes in real life have blundered as Peter did while thousands trained at Tuskegee and other schools are today making good in all sections of the country. "The general effect of the book seems to me to discourage the effort to educate and elevate the Negro race. I cannot believe this to be your intention and I am sure that the facts do not at all warrant any such disheartening picture." ARE THEY WHITE OR ARE THEY COLORED? Jacksonville, Fla.—Mr. Lewis R. Salis has just succeeded in getting a mandamus against Dr. Hathaway, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Board of Instruction, compelling them to re-admit his children to Arlington school or answer the reason why. His three children—Clara, 11 years old; Gladis, 9 years old, and Lewis R. Jr., 6 years—were attending the Arlington school until parents of other children made complaint that these three were not white. According to Florida law if an individual has more than one-eighth of blood other than white he cannot be classified as white. Mr. Salis' argument was that he himself was of Minorcan descent but seven-eighths white, his wife was a full blooded white person, and that therefore his children had less than one-eighth of blood other than white and had a right to attend the school. (The Minorcans are the inhabitants of Minorca, one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean, north of Africa and east of Spain. The Minorcans have a considerable infusion of African blood.) The officials insisted that the children were "not considered white" and should not attend Arlington school. MRS. KELLOGG FAIRBANK TO OPEN URBAN LEAGUE DRIVE The announcement that Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, prominent society and club woman, who has been active in financial drives, is to deliver the keynote address at the opening of the Urban League drive on Wednesday at a dinner meeting of all who are to work in the campaign, adds another feature to the well prepared plans Professor J. R. E. Lee, director of the campaign, has commensulated to bring the drive to a successful issue. Two hundred people are expected to be present to launch the campaign immediately after the dinner meeting in the most vigorous solicitation the South Side has yet seen. Professor Lee, for 35 years in public service, has left no detail unattended to, as the engagement of Mrs. Fairbanks indicates. Charles W. Folds has signified his willingness to attend if he can reach the city in time from an engagement out of town. Under the leadership of prominent men in various walks of life, the whole city is being organized and captains are whipping their teams into shape preparatory to the opening of the drive next Thursday morning. For further information apply at the office of the League, 3032 Wahash Avenue. PASSED AWAY On Monday afternoon at six o'clock at her late residence, 3558 State street, Mrs. Jennie Martin, a member of The Trustee Board of The Sisters of Bethany, passed away very suddenly. BIG DRIVE IN CHICAGO BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. The 1922 Membership Drive of the Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P., started on April 21st for a ten day run to May 1st. Morris Lewis again has charge of the work and has appointed ten captains, each of whom has ten workers, making a corps of 275 solicitors who will go after 5,000 members. The outstanding accomplishment of the Association for the past period has been the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives. The Bill is now in the Senate, being referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Much more work is still to be done by the Association and the larger the membership the greater will be the influence of the organization. Mr. Harold L. Ickes has been elected President of the local branch.

Two Million Dollar Structure to Begin Early in May to Care for the War Veterans OBJECTION TO LOCATION Complaint Being Made on Account of Jim Crow Car Law in the South Washington.—Bids for construction of the new hospital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., will be opened on May 1, it was announced here by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Clifford. The hospital, which is to cost $2,250,000, will have a capacity of 500 beds, of which 230 will be for tubercular patients and 270 for shell-shock cases. Actual work on the new Negro hospital, officials said, should be under way by the middle of May, as the contracts for the mechanical equipment and building work on the institution should be left by May 10. Colored ex-service men protested against erecting the hospital in the South to no avail. They claimed they preferred having it in a state where they would not be forced to ride in "jim crow" cars in order to get there. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? The names of the latest books by and about Negroes? The names of Negroes distinguished for various accomplishments? How and where white and colored people are cooperating to create better feelings and better conditions? Where you could find clippings and articles and books and pamphlets concerning Negro life from all over the country? The answers to these questions, and many others can be found through the Research Department of the Chicago Urban League, 3032 S. Wabash Ave. If you are in school, or a lyceum—if you have to make a speech or write an article—if you want to get any information concerning Negroes or Negro life, a visit to the League office might be worth more to you than your annual membership fee. This information feature is only one part of the League's service, and it is free to the public. The League program as a whole is financed by its members and contributors. This year the goal set for the campaign is $10,000. Mr. J. R. E. Lee, Extension Secretary of the National Urban League is in the city and among others the Tuskegee Club, which has already made a subscription. People are responding loyally to the request for campaign service, many having met and pledged their service as well as their membership. More workers are needed, however, and Mr. Lee wants the help, either in campaign work or memberships or both, of all Chicago people. Serve on committees; talk to your friends about the League. This will help the League to raise its $10,000 between May 1st and 10th. In the meantime, the regular League program is going on. Visit the League and see for yourself what is done. A visit will convince you that the League is worth your membership fee. If it is inconvenient to come, call Calumet 0710 and tell us how you are willing to help in the $10,000 drive.

Majors You can't tell us colored races When you look into our faces And it ain't because we're using all the colors on our skin; If you want to know the reason And of course it looks like treason, Its attributed to the sin And the hell of lighter men. We don't call it any caper And we see things in the paper That will bleach a dark complexion almost white Some may think it's very funny To be paying out their money For the stuff that makes them look a horrid sight. And they may down in their hearts it isn't right. There's a day coming, maybe When the crib will hold a baby That will grow up without thought of how he looks. He will go away to college, Where he takes a whirl at knowledge, And show the world some very punching hooks What it takes to master all the books. Now my friends it doesn't matter How a skin looks does not flatter Being black or white or red or brown or yellow A complexion cannot make you Any more than it can break you If you're clever enough to act a real fellow. Now I often sit and study Till my skin gets very ruddy On the questions that are puzzling many folks It is taxing my resources Of both body and mental forces But what's the use the truth so often chokes. FIVE SITTING DEMOCRATIC SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES AND ALDERMAN WALTER P STEFFEN FORM THE JU DICIAL COALITION TICKET. Monday, the regular leaders of the Democrats in this city and county and high chiefs of the Republican Party met in two separate conventions at the Sherman House and the Republicans selected Alderman Walter P. Steffen as their candidate for one of the Judges of the superior court and the Democrats resisted the following sitting Democratic Judges for re-election at the Judicial election in June: William E. Dever, Charles A. McDonald, John J. Sullivan, Martin M. Gridley, Joseph Sabath. All the big Republicans belonging to the Brundage-Crowe and Deneen combination and the head Democrats under the leadership of Mr. George E. Brennan have united their forces and have joined hands towether in an effort to head off Mayor William Hale Thompson and his City Hall followers from placing a judicial ticket in the field at the June election.

The eager octogenarian confesses that “Astolpho’s shield and horn and voyage to the moon, the lance that unhorses everyone, the all- penetrating sword, .and I know not how many impenetrable helmets and shields” are rather too much for his sober English imagination.

CHARLES E. BETTER STUMP, ae REGULAR TRAVELING CORRE-| SPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, WHO HAS BEEN ENJOYING HIM- SELF WHILE LIVING ON THE FAT OF THE LAND IN PHILADELPHIA AND WASHINGTON, D. C. Philadelphia, Pa—You will find me away from sunshine, and now I am in the chilly Philadelphia, and believe me, honey, it is some change up here; but I am going to fight it dut for a few days and then get back down yonder, s0 if you desire to get me a letter, just send it to 822 Jefierson Street, Mont- gomery, Ala. i 1 am of the opinion that there is not @ country in the civilized world with so many different kinds of civilizations as we have right here in America; but then we must just study it, for that gives us more to think about and keeps ‘us busy trying to solve problems and human problems at that. Here I am in Philadelphia. 1 ride where I please on the street cars, and do not see a sign, “This end for white.” I just go in, pay the price, and take my choice. When I go to the stable where you go to get on the iron horse and carriage, I do not see any signs, but go in with the rest of the passengers, and we all hustle for posi- tion in line, and each takes his turn. If IT am hungry I don’t have to look for a lunch place in that same stable marked “Colored,” but, like a man, I go in and eat, pay the price and come out; and my color has not faded or rubbed on any other human being. but just as soon as I leave Washington, and even in Washington, the capital of the na- tion, I meet “Colored this and colored that, and colored kill a yallar cat and colored.” I am made to remember that I was born on the dark of the ‘moon and must go way back and sit down. "Lam the same man in every section of the country, and why do I become fo sion when I cross the line? Just civilization conception differs, that's all. Some day the time will come when I will be regarded a man all over ‘this country and will be accorded the privileges of a man. You want to know what is going to do all this? Education and Jesus in the hearts of men. This world must yet learn the one- ness of the human race, especially this part of the world. You may expect’ anything as long as manhood is meas- ured by the color of skin and not by. brain. Brains rule the world and not color. If you see a white fool and a black fool, you only see two fools. There are thousands of white men in this country who cannot measure up to thousands of black men in the coun- try in brain, in cash, in culture and refinement, but on their color they can go where that black man would meet sudden death if he would attempt to go. Bat I am advocating brains, brains. I am telling my people to think, and as long as the school room is open and you hear of hundreds of graduates, you put it down that a beiter day is just over the fence. I want to pay my respects at this time to Prof. G. W.

He remained at the head until death claimed him, and then followed @ man of our race, Prof. John W. Beverly, who was the pioneer. He had been connected with the school from the days when man's memory goes back. He knew it, and had the respect and love of the people. He started the ball to rolling, and now steps in a younger man, a man with a vision, and he is just going on and on, making friends and doing the work. Prof. G. W. Trenholm is a school man.

I have been dealing in education and educational matters. I have been te so many schools and associated with so many college presidents and profes- sors until I am just feeling like my head is larger than my body, and I believe it is, but I do not want to get that big head disease, for there is no cure for it. If a horse gets the big head they kill him, and if a man gets the big head he dies at his own hands. God help me to keep my head down. Now you take last week. I spent a few days at Kittrell, North Carolina, at Kittrell College, and was the direct guest of President G. A. Edwards. I slept in his house, ate at his table with his family, was treated like I was some college president myself, and the stu- dents were so kind to me until I could hardly walk.

Since the oll had all leaked out of the cans, and we could not go much farther, we were debating what to do. Then as our car swung over the summit of a rise we saw the white tent and the graz- ing camels of an enormous caravan. Of course Mongols would have mutton fat; why not use that for oll? ‘The caravan leader assured us that he bad plenty, and in ten minutes a great pot of fat was warming over the fire. We poured it into the motor ‘and proceeded merrily on our way, but there was one serious obstacle to our enjoying that ride.

FIRST AMERICAN GOLD COINS What Are Known as Eagles Placed in Circulation in the Year 1792— Bird as a Symbol. ‘The first American gold coinage of eagies, half-eagles und quarter-eagies, of the value of $10, $5 and $2.50, re spectively, was placed in circulation im 1702. ‘Since that date the United States mints have turned out 117,620, 365 double engles, or $20 gold pieces; 49,611,289 eagles, 74,360,570 hulf-eagles and 15,580,208 quarter-eagies. One and three-dollar gold pleces were for- merly coined, but they were discon- tinued in 1800. The first coin called an eagle was used in Ireland in the Thirteenth cen- tury, and was so called from the fig- ure of an eagie impressed upon It, but it was made of base metal. The stand- ard of the eagle was borne by the an- clent Persians, and the Romuns also carried gold and silver eagles as en- signs and sometimes represented them with a thunderbolt in thelr talqns. Charlemague adopted the double- headed eagle as the standard of the holy Roman empire. The eagle was the standard of Napoleon I and .Na- poleon III, as well as Austria, Prussia and Russia. An Gas Cutie “May She Invite Him Into the House?” asks an advertisement for the Book of Etiquette; and explains tie Mlustration thus: “They have Just re- turned from a dance. It is rather late, but the folks are still up. Should she invite him into the house or say good night to him at the door? Should bé ‘ask permission to go into the house with her? Should she ask him to call At some other timer” One answer crowds upon another's heels, so fast they follow. First, we shouldn't take seriously the laws of etiquette laid down by anybody who, speaking of the not-yet-retired parents, says “the folks aré still up.” What sort of girl has “folks”? Dear, dear! not to say Fie, fie! Second, if it's the kind of dance now current’ the folks wouldn't be still up; thes’d be up al ready.

Italian sallors made starboard the right side of a ship in their earliest voyages. The term was evolved by the rt from “sata borde.” mesn- ing this aide, while larboard came from the belmaman, first probably with gestures of the hand accompanying the call. In heavy weather, and under other adverse conditions, the two terms be- came confounded frequently in speech. Larboard was dropped and in Its place port was employed, for port meant port wine, which is red, and red is the color of the light on that side of the abip. Mystery Explained. In Lake Manitoba there is « little Island from which Issues a mysterious sound. The Indians supposed this is land to be the home of Manitoba, the speaking god, and from this is dertved the name of the lake and the province. The real cause of the sound is the beating of the waves upon the huge pebbles lining the shore. On the north- em coast of the island is a long low cil t, composed of Snegrained itme- stone, which, beneath the stroke of a hammer, rings like steele The waves breaking at the foot of the cilif cause the Umestone fragments to Gash ‘one Against the ether, and the sound thus produced resembles the chiming of distant bella.

It was once common among the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo- ples, who culled this money payment wergild. The price varied with the nature of the crime and the rank of the vietim. Certain crimes, such as the slaying of « sleeping person, could not be compensated by a money pay- ment; such criminals were declared outlaws and could be slain with im- punity. The term is now often applied to the reward or bribe paid for giving up & criminal to Justice. Original Piayine Cards. ‘The original pack. of curds was a quiver of arrows.

It was not long afterward that Huth again came home from a dance after every one bad gone to bed. Faithfully she sat down and wrote in ber diary.

Quickly she turned the Page until she came to the last cen- (tribution. “Arose at 7:30." she read “and went to the office. To lunch with Al, my country Romeo. Home to dinner at 6.

It ts the good fortune of the drama that it is the most democratic of the arts, since it wust direct itself to the people as a whole. Yet thls appeal to ‘the multitude has never debased the drama. “Hamlet” and “Tartuffe” are most popular plays; and they are also” masterpieces of dramatic art. Shake- ‘speare and Moliere did not condeseend to the public; they gave that public the best they had in them, but with the utmost care to give it also what they knew it relished. Of course, very few pleces have ever had the breadth of appeal of “Hamlet” and “Tartuffe"; and the modern dramatist, when he is building bis play, is Mkety to have in mind some subdivision of the throng— either the larger segment that craves: the Gerce joys of melodrama or the to dlaces the protien pay Denner to discuss the Matthews, t And Few Really Enjoy it. “Bren de dictionary can't tell everything.” said Uncle Eben. “Cop.

Barley Basis of Weight During the reign of Henry VIII standards of length and weight were established with actual grains of wheat and barley as a basis. Three barley corns were an inch, and from that was built up our table of inches, feet, ells (yards), perch and acre. One restriction was that the barley corn must be dry and taken from the middle of the car and laid end to end. Under this same system 30 grains of wheat made a pennyweight, and from that as a basis they worked out the Troy pound in which 12 ounces still make a pound. Originally the size of shoes were based upon grains of barley, and it is said that these are the same today as in the early days. There were 13 grains of barley to each size. "Furlong" is an old English word meaning "murrow long" and is based upon the length a furrow would be in a square ten-acre field. Protein Foods When we eat protein we consume in reality 18 or 20 substances, known as amino acids, each one of which may have quite special functions in nutrition. Some proteins are deficient in certain of these acids which are lacking in the proteins of corn and grain, and for that reason peanuts are an excellent supplement to a cereal diet, whether in the form of a meal or press cake fed with corn and cereal feeds to animals or as a supplement to wheat protein when used with wheat flour in bread making.
