The Onward March of the Ku Klux Klan, or "The Knights of the White Light" Throughout the Northern States. Col. Marcus Garvey, Who Is Not An American Citizen Being Born in the West Indies, Advises the Twelve Million Colored People in This Country Not to Attempt to Oppose the Ku Klux Klan and Tamely Submit to Their Rule and Permit Them to Commit Indescribable Crimes Upon the Colored Women. NOT MANY YEARS AGO REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR., THE ARCH ENEMY OF THE COLORED RACE, AUTHOR OF "THE CLANSMAN," "THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS" AND "THE ONE WOMAN," PROCLAIMED TO ALL THE WORLD THAT ALL THE COLORED GIRLS IN THE SOUTHLAND, FOURTEEN YEARS OR OVER WERE IMMORAL AND THAT THE COLORED WOMEN HAD NOT THE SLIGHTEST CONCEPTION OF THE WORD "CHASTITY" OR "VIRTUE." IN ALL OF THE AGES OF THE PAST AND AT THE PRESENT TIME, WHITE MEN HAVE BEEN EVER READY TO WADE IN HUMAN BLOOD UP TO THEIR NECKS, IN ORDER TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THE HONOR OF THEIR WOMEN, AND THE COLORED MEN MUST DO THE SAME THING IF THEY EXPECT TO COMMAND THE RESPECT OF MANLY MEN BE-LONGING TO THE OTHER RACES OF MANKIND. In our humble opinion the absolute reign or bloody rule of the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light," is fast becoming the most momentous or far-reaching and most important question now confronting the sober-minded American people. This question completely overshadows all other grave questions at the present time, for if the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light" shall continue to be permitted to maintain their invisible empire which now extends from ocean to ocean and from the coldest regions of the extreme northern clime to the great Gulf of Mexico, then it will be only a question of a very short time until this grand and glorious republic, which is by far the best republic so far established on the face of the broad, green earth, will be blotted out in anarchy and bloody revolution. For, within the past year, the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light" have invaded every northern state and all the leading cities of the north, such as New York, St. Louis, Mo., Boston, Mass., Chicago, Cincinnati, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pa., Indianapolis, Ind., Pittsburgh, Pa., and at many other points they maintain headquarters and the high chiefs of their organization boast of the fact that they have hundreds of thousands of members north of the Mason and Dixon line who are doing everything in their power to choke off the colored people, the Jewish people and the members of the Roman Catholic church. In many of the southern states and cities these midnight prowlers and red-handed murderers have THE BROAD AX with their weird demonstrations from the high hills overlooking many of the principal cities of the country struck terror into the hearts of thousands of both white and colored people and their lawless and bloody rule with the shotgun, with the lead, the rope and with tar and feathers has never been surpassed in any part of the civilized world. Within the past year these lawless imps of the infernal regions who set themselves up as jury, judge and the head and front of the law, have laid their blood-stained hands on both white and colored women whom they claimed had violated some of the laws, stripped them stark naked in the presence of four or five thousand members of the Klan and after being severely beaten they received a coat of hot tar and feathers, then they were permitted to wander forth upon the face of the earth in that horrible condition. Such brutal treatment of women of the colored race in this country. Col Marcus Garvey, who is not an American citizen and who is raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in easy money from his deluded dupes on blind followers feels that nothing should be said about it on the part of the colored people, that the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light" are so strong and powerful that the colored people should tamely submit to any rough treatment which may be accorded to them and that they should feel thankful to them that they are not driven off of the earth into the deep blue sea. The following is a fair sample of CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 The Popular and Up-to-Date Treasurer of Cook County, Who With His Thousands of Warm Friends Scattered Throughout This City and County Feel Dead Sure of His Election to His Present Position This Coming Fall. ```markdown ``` the tommyrot that Col. Garvey, who should be muzzled some way or other continues to send broadcast throughout this country for the benefit of the members of the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light" who are willing to assist to feed him on money as long as he will continue to urge the colored people to seek new homes in Africa. "This is a white man's country. He found it, he conquered it, and we can't blame him because he wants to keep it. I'm not vexed with the white man for Jim Crowning me because I'm black. I never built any street cars or railroads. The white man built them for his own convenience. And if I don't want to ride where he's willing to let me, then I'd better walk. "But what we ought to do, is to have our own country and our own land, with our own railroads and Booker Washington cars instead of Pullmans." The above is the most pernicious and damnable doctrine that has so far been promulgated by any colored man in this country and Col. Garvey should be given the choice of either cease from preaching it or to be driven from the United States. It seems hard for him to understand that the colored people are an integral part and parcel of this country; that they know no other land nor flag; that being born and raised here and that by the eternal gods, they intend to remain on this continent to the end of time. It is almost useless to call the at- HON. PATRICK J. CARR tention of Col. Garvey to the fact that for more than three hundred years the colored people have been the mainstay and the backbone of the southern states; that if it was not for their labor that section of the country would soon become a howling wilderness and its white inhabitants would revert back to a state of savagery. It will be recalled that only a few years ago, Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who is one of the greatest arch enemies of the colored race in the world, proclaimed it aloud from the mountain tops, that all the colored girls residing in the Southern States over fourteen years old were immoral and that no colored women residing in that section of the country had the slightest conception of the word "virtue," and that white men with plenty of money could buy any of them. 'This newspaper was among the few which cried out against Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., at that time and stated that if he had made the same statement in relation to the Irish women, the Italian women, the white American women or any other class of women, that some way or other his life would have been ended ten million times. As white men have always been ready to wade in human blood right up to their necks in order to protect their women whether they have been right or wrong, colored men must do the same thing and boldly resent the many ipsuits which are continually being heaped upon them by the white gentlemen residing throughout the Southland. --- It may be that in many instances colored men will be forced to defend their wives and beautiful daughters at the points of guns from the ravishments of white gentlemen. Ku Klux Editor Returns from Visit to Leading Protestants Abroad. Atlanta, Ga.-The Ku Klux Klan is now attempting to organize a world-wide association of "white people." J. O. Wood, editor of The Searchlight, alleged Klan organ, returned here from Europe and declared that he had been in conference with leaders of certain Protestant organizations there with a view to affecting organization. Wood refused to say whether he was successful. PLANES DROP "K. K. K" CARDS OVER NEGRO VOTING DISTRICT Oklahoma City, Okla.—Cards bearing the picture of a hooded knight and the initials "K. K. K." were dropped from airplanes over the Negro districts here Tuesday. Up to shortly before 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon voting in these districts was extremely light. THE "ON TO WASHINGTON" DELEGATION, COMPOSED OF NOBLES, KNIGHTS TEMPLARS, SHRINERS AND MANY PROMINENT CITIZENS, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, ATTRACTED A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION ALONG THE ROUTE, FROM THIS CITY ON TO THE CAPITOL OF THE NATION. (Special to The Broad Ax) The Pilgrimage of Arabic Temple No. 44; A. E. A. O. N. M. S., from Chicago to Washington, D. C., was a most magnificent success. More than three hundred nobles with their wives and families left the city Friday morning on the Washington Special, composed of sixteen cars, including 12 sleepers, two diners, a dancing car and baggage. Included in the Pullman cars were a parlor car and observation. All along the route the delegation was received and greeted by the people in amazing wonder of such an aggregation. Three engines were required to pull this train, particularly over the mountainous route, through the Virginias. It was said by the officials that this was the grandest and greatest train ever pulled over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad within the past twelve years. S.; Mrs. Loe Matron; M.

The pilgrimage landed in Cincinnati, Ohio, promptly on time at 6:30 P. M. Friday, and were received by Sinai Temple Patrol and escorted to their mosque where a most delightful reception was given. Promptly at 2:30 A. M. the train pulled out for Washington with the Cincinnati delegation included in the pilgrimage, adding one hundred and seven persons to the party. Their train included two sleepers, a baggage ear and diner. Owing to the mountainous route and the strike disturbances the party arrived in Washington at 7:50 P. M. Saturday, seven and a half hours late, but otherwise all O. K. This train was manned by a colored Pullman conductor and an entirely colored crew. It is said that the service was the best ever received by any delegation of our group any where over any road. The success of the entire affairs reflects exceptional credit upon Noble Steward C. Jefferson, Illustrious Potentate, and Noble Sandy W. Trice, who are connected with the railroad companies, who routed the train, and the "On to Washington Committee." They are due special mention, to say the least. After being assigned to their respective headquarters numbers of the party enjoyed sight-seeing trips around the capital city. Sunday afternoon and evening were given to memorial services in honor of deceased members of the order. Among the sights seen included visits to Arling Cemetery, where the Isis Band laid a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. Also Mt. Vernon, where the historic home of Washington is preserved, and Anna Costia, the home of Frederick Douglass, which has been preserved by the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and the Colored Girls' School of which Miss Nannie Burrough is president, located at Washington Heights. On the return trip some of the delegates will visit Philadelphia, Atlantic City, New York, Boston, Mass., Montreal, Canada, Toronto, Buffalo, Quebec, Niagara Falls and other points of interest enroute. Among these will be Nobles A. L. Williams and wife, Wallace Johnson and wife, Oscar De Priest and wife and others. 1,000 persons have joined this new movement This evening a military smoker will be tendered General Franklin A.

Bat all men are not created equal That all men are said to be created equal means sq far as law is con- cerned that/jn the eyes of the law 20 man is above another man. All men have the same number of bones, mus- cles, nerves, two eyes, two ears, two hands and five fingers and five toes, etc; but because they have the same ‘number of bones, muscles and nerves, ete.; that does not make them equally strong, equal in size or cherish equal notions and ideas, nor ideals. Let us see Hf we cannot offer a truism that will stand up and possibly defy con- tradiction, No man is equal to an- other man, nor are they created equal ‘with the same qualities of heart, mind, or body. Environment may make all parrots equal, it could make all mon- Keys equal, all fish equal, ete; but when it comes to’man environment balks. Out of the same environmen. have come the minister, the lawyer, ‘the woman reformer, the crook, burg- far, murderer and confidence man. What has given some their opportun- ity to rise, has inspired some others te fall, by allowing the lowest force in the human economy to grow up in their lives, and eventually dominate What has offered opportunity to some to become benciactors of their brethren, has on the other hand of- fered opportunities to others to be- come sneaks, and theives, defaulters, ete; thus in the fowl kingdom all roosters are not equal, neither are all hens equal, and we might ramble an- cient, modern and medieval history, through the jungles if you please and all over natural history and we will fail utterly in our vain quest for proof that there abides any where on this earth any such thing as human equal- ity. A great many people have be- come imbued with the thought that white is superior to black, of course there are not as many fools today as there used to be, and even then there are ten times as many brown, black and gellow people as there are white people who don't believe any such nonsense. So after all we who don't believe white is superior to black are vastly and preponderantly in the ma- jority.

GETTING A SPOT LIGHT. THE OLD SETTLERS MEET By Dr. M. A. Majors Have you been in Chicago thirty years? Are you the son or daughter of some one who came to Chicago thirty years ago? If you came to Chi- jeago to live during the World’s Fair, which was in '93, you will have to ‘wait one more year before you can become a member of The Old Settlers Club. Thirty years ago Ciicago life was quite different from what it is today. Scareely were there any of us east of State St, except the Wheelers, Harsh’s, Mrs. John G. Jones, Platts, Ectons, there may have been a very Precious few others. Then the vast majority of us lived north of Eigh- teenth St,, and most of our churches were down town. Thirty years ago did not offer to the race as big life as the present day, but thirty years ago has in memories| casket peatls, diamonds and precious reminiscences of a life that was sweeter and purer. Board walks, cobblestones and cabs make a picture a bit grotesque, as compared to cement, asphalt, and taxi- cabs but they were the best we coufd get at the time and we got along very well. ‘The Old Settlers cherish these fond memories, and it is a treat indeed to hear many of them tell reminiscences of the South Side extending no further than Twelfth St. and about the stock yard north of Eighteenth St. west of Dearborn. Then there were only a few hundred of us living in this great city by Lake Michigan, the inland sea. ‘For the past two years they have| been ‘holding their anniversary, (an- nual of course), at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. ‘Pelkey, S401 Sovth Wa- fondly the memory of these two festz! occasions, and it is not saying enough to -Jaim them as the best representa- Hive grox tone — ‘Yo be found anywhere in any aad es bsg a ad ftiendship that is peris ‘A Kinship fike that ot ent David, of Naomi and iis £ which = -teport is jured in the hearts of the members.

They have a large and very commiodious home, elegant in all of its appointments, then just back of this pretty home is a large lawn fifty feet wide and a hundred feet deep, provided with swings, park benches, chairs, tables and etc. There, where, when the session is at an end, assem- bled the astonished multitude, at least two hundred and fifty members and visitors who are treated to every thing the market affords, abundant in pro- fusion, luxuriant, and you. go away from the scene, such a gathering of old friends presents, with the noble thought given a new birth in your soul that it is attributable to their excellent qualities that make Chicago what it is to the Negro of America. PROF. KERLIN ACCEPTS SPLENDID POSITION Prof. Robert T. Kerlin whose oper letter of protest addressed to the gov. lernor of Arkansas against the execu: tion of the twelve colored men con victed in connection with the Phillip: County riots of October, 1919 led te his dismissal from the Virginia Mili tary Institute, has recently accepted the headship of the Department o! English at the State Normal School lat West Chester, Pa. Although himself a Southerner, Prof. Kerlin refused to remain silent at what appeared to him a great trav- jesty on justice and his letter uncom- promisingly arraigned the governor of Arkansas, the trials of the colored men, and the wholly unfair conviction of the men who, daring to protest against the share-cropping system un- der which they were being robbed, were accused of plotting to “mas- sacre” white people. This letter re- ceived wide-spread publicity and re- sulted in airing the Arkansas cases in a way that was exceedingly distaste- ful to ‘the Arkansas authorities. His summary dismissal followed the pub- lication of Mr. Kerlin’s letter. The acquisition of this new and better position in a state in which scholarship and honesty are more highly regarded than Virginia is a step on which Mr. Kerlin is being heartily congratulated . For more than three years Prof. Kerlin has been a strong supporter of this newspaper and it will follow him to his new home® in Pennsylvania, and with his hosts of other friends its editor is indeed greatly delighted to learn that he has been honored with 2 splendid educational position north of the Mason and Dixon Linc. “MEBBE SHE DIDN'T LIE, JEDGE,” SAYS NEGRO OF | “HIS DEAD WIFE, “BUT— | Moberly, Mo—"Judge, I don't think she may fie, but she sho’ didn't tell the truth—she was jes’ misin- formed.” This droll yet solemn reply came from the lips of John Williams, col- ored, in court Saturday from a fever- ish scene of excitement in which Mrs. Jack Williams, also colored, dropped dead in the witness chair while testi- fying against Williams. A heart at- tack caused the witness’ death. Williams was charged with having disturbed the peace. He was placed on the stand after quiet was restored and asked if he thought the witness had died “with a lie on her lips.” To this came Williams’ respectful reply. ‘He was released. 7 CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 THE HiGH COST OF IGNORANCE Dr. James Hardy Dillard Holds Fourth Ministers’ Conference at Bettis Academy NEGROES TELLSTORY INSONG Inter-Racial Co-Operation Goes On Steadily and Effectively All k Over South Carolina By WM. ANTHONY AERY | quote President Nicholson. A min- Hampton, Va—That ignorance is costing the United States at least $15,- 000,000 each day and that the South is bearing a large portion of this bur- den were the opinions expressed re- cently by W. T. B. Williams of Tus- kegee Institute, who is a field secre- tary of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, at the opening session of the fourth annual minister's conference, which Dr. James Hardy Dillard. of Char- lottesville, Va., rector of William and Mary College, member of the General Education Board, and president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, called at Bettis Academy (Alfred W. Nichol- son, president) near Trenton, S. C. To reduce this ignorance among the colored people of western South Caro- fina there must be waged, according to President Nicholson and his loyal, self-sacrificing, hopeful associates, a vigorous campaign for an intelligent ministry and teaching body. Bettis Academy has become, during the past forty years, a center of edu- cation and religion. It is a beacon- light to which white and colored peo- ple alike look with hope, comfort and satisfaction. The four-day ministers’ conference of over two hundred and the four-week summer school of sev- eral hundred teachers are social forces for good that won the respect and favorable cAeuseon of white and colored people of all grades. SOUTH CAROLINA'S PROGRESS That the colored people of South Carolina are receiving more and more consideration in the matter of pub- lic school facilities was shown by the presence of, and helpful address from J. B. Felton, Cofambia, S. C., who is the State supervisor of colored schools and who during two and a half years of service has secured admirable re- sults in the form of more and better schools for worthy colored citizens. Professor Felton brought the Negro ministers and teachers the regard and respect of State Superintendent Swear- ingen, who has again and again shown his willingness to work hard to secure more public funds for colored, as well as white schools. Professor Felton stated that in 1920- 21 there had been completed in South Carolina 38 Rosenwald schools. Eleven more were completed before December 31, 1921. From July 1, 1921 to June 30, 1922, 40 more Rosenwald schools had been completed. In short, 89 new Negro rural schools had been built within two years. These schools are comfortable, sanitary, well-equip- ped buildings. Some 2,000 colored teachers in South Carolina have been receiving: training for their work in 10 summer schools, including the schoo! at Bettis Academy, which is firected by Professor Henry P. But- er, who like his co-workers, is putting iis life unreservedly into his work of erving: the ‘chiléren of & seedy race. | POWER OF NEGRO MUSIC As a wonderfully rich background for all the addresses at Bettis Aca- demy, whether these addresses deal with personal experiences or with good counsel for the young or inex- perienced, there is the heart-music of a people emerging from darkness to light and from ignorance to know!l- edge. Again and again there came a soul-stirring chorus—“Take your bur- den to the Lord and leave it there.” The prayer for new light was con- stant—“Let the light from the light- house shine on me.” The good tidings of a new day had many heralds—“I'm going to tell about Jesus wherever I go.” The'vall to duty was constant- ly sounded—“There’s somebody knocking at your door.” Prayer and aspiration were dominant motives— “Every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.” DOCTOR DILLARD'S SERVICE Doctor Dillard and his cogworkers brought to these earnest Negro minis- ters such help as they could within four days—help in sermon-making, in keeping. records and handling funds, in managing their correspondence, in relating the church to neighborhood needs, and in interpreting the Scrip- tures with good judgment. Associ- ated with Doctor Dillard were Dr. James D. Gregg, principal of Hamp- ton Institute; B. C. Caldwell and W. T. B. Williams, field secretaries 6f the Jeanes and Slater Funds; Jackson Da- vis, field agent of the General) Edu- cation Board; T. C. Palmer, superin- tendent of Sunday school work in South Carolina, an Alabamian who knows and loves colored people; and others who had first-hand knowledge of Southern conditions and problems. ‘The Negro ministers of western South Carolina have felt that “Doctor Dillard has tried to reach the un- reached and to help the unhelped,” to quote President Nicholson. A min- ister from Saluda County (made mem- orable to the members of Doctor Dit- lard’s party, because of the unexpected visit of a number of leading white business men, who made a round-trip journey of 50-odd miles over rough roads, to plead for funds for a Negro school) declared that the conference t Rettis Academy was 4 “God-sent thing” to him as a community servant. This man “pastors” 3 churches, with a total membership of 1,500, and has to travel. 21 miles to reach one church and 6 miles to reach another. An- other minister expressed thanks for his power “to bring peace out of con- ‘usion” in a community in which he has lived for 53 years, Another min- ister declared that Doctor Dillard's generous service had convinced him “that some white folks have religion.” TEACHERS AND MINISTERS CO-OPERATE | Se Beers Cn SE ae the Negro Preacher” declared that those who act as race leaders must modify the present program, carried out by so many men, of making peo- ple shout, of merely “getting” people into the Church, and of seeking popu- larity. He referred to Christ’s method of teaching through His preaching, of saving men for service to others, and of speaking the truth in boldness and in love. Professor Butler, who hails from Oklahoma, outlined the work which teachers have been doing six hours every day, regardless of heat, to pre- pare themselves for a better grade of teaching service to “a happy, faithful, struggling, working people.” He de- clared that the conference at Bettis Academy is making Negroes more Godly and law-abiding at a school which is built on faith and is sprung from the sand-hills of South Carolina. B. C. Caldwell referred to the con- structive work in Negro education which has been done during the past eleven years by strong and well- trained white Southern men who have served in thirteen Southern States as supervisors of Negro schools. N. C. Newbold of Raleigh, N. C., State su- pervisor of Negro schools, spoke on "The Relation of Spiritual Growth to Educational Progress.” He declared that the time is soon coming when people will be willing to spend more money on churches and schools and when the ministers who believe in education can be of even greater serv- ice than they are now to the cause of education. NEED OF TRAINED LEADERS W. T. B. Williams reported on the work of summer schools for Negro jeachers and called attention to work \t the following centers: Tuskegee institute, Montgomery, Selma, Hamp- on Institute, Petersburg and Nash- ‘lle, “There has been a marked in- ease of public interest in the train- ng of colored teachers,” said Profes- or Williams. “The masses of Ne- oes must be educated in public chools. Negroes can only meet ef- ectively the future as they are intelli- ent. Through increased intelligence ve shall get better church members ind better farmers.” Rev. G. Lake Imes of Tuskegee In- titute declared that people, whether inlettered or educated, are hungry for piritual gifts by which they must live. ie made a plea that all Negro minis- ers should help their congregations o understand God better and to do his they must imitate the teachers by tudying more thoroughly the best nethods of doing their every-day asks. He placed upon the teachers he burden of helping the ministers hrough the Sunday-school work vhich needs everywhere to be done nuch better than it is being done. Prayer Life of Negroes At six o'clock every morning the ministers met for a service of song nd prayer. The petitions that were aised were for strength, courage, and onfidence in the white man. Some nen poured out to God their longing or a release from constant misunder- tanding and mistreatment, from the mending burden of struggling for read with no outward sign of reward, nd from the white man's contempt. thers gave thanks that through rayer they had won victories over elfishness. Still others gave in quaint nd picturesque language an account { their earthly stewardship. All rayed talked earnestly with God in a tanner which all men and women yould do well to ponder over. Negro ministers and teachers -at, jettis Academy live under the infu-| nce of self-sactificing leaders. They, ladly come together for worship and| udy. They deepen the best white cople’s fundamental belief that Ne- roes are kind, patient, loyal, God- aring. Dee HON.

Blue Ridge. N. C. (Special to The Broad Ax).—That the plan of con- ference and cooperation now being worked out in the South as’a means of solving inter-racial problems is destined to lead the world in this field was the statement of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, noted sociologist, before the annual meeting of the Commis- sion on Inter-Racial Cooperation, in session here last week. Dr. Jones re- gently returned from a trip to England and a tour of Africa, stated that the greatest interest was everywhere ex- pressed in the Commission’s method '£ dealing with race relations, and at General Smuts, of South Africa, om learning about it immediately took cps to apply the method to the acute ace problem faced by the British in ‘ovth Africa. » The meeting of the Commission was attended by more than fifty outstand- ing Southern leaders, men and women, and was presided over by John J. Eagan of Atlanta, prominent manu- facturer. Dr. Will W. Alexander, Di- rector of the Commission, pointed out in the opening address that it has’ no program oi race relationships to put over on any section or community, but that it only suggests a simple, effective plan by which the best peo- ple of cach state or community may solve their own problems by the meth- od of frank conference and coopera- tion. Reports of state secretaries indi- cated that effective work is being done in every state in the South except one, and in hundreds of communities, re- sulting in better understanding be- tween the races, mob prevention, health improvement, better schools and safer conditions generally. Wom- en leaders of various great denomina- tional and club groups reported that a vast deal of work is being done through these agencies toward secur- ing better educational, religious and home conditions for Negroes.

CHURCHES TAKING UP INTER- RACIAL PROBLEMS Study Courses Prepared for Thou- sands of Groups. All Protestant Nashville, Tenn, (Special to The Broad Ax).—What many consider the most hopeful development in the realm of race relations in America is the fact that all the great Protestant denominations, with a membership of nearly thirty millions, are uniting in the study of the problem with the view of finding a Christian solution. The Federgl Council of Churches has appointed a Commission on the Church and Inter-Racial Relations, which is actively at work seeking to promote the cooperation of all church groups in the effort to bring about better conditions. In addition, the question will be studied this year in many thousands of misdionary groups and study classes, with an aggregate millions. To this end the Missionary Education Movement, the Council of Women for Home Missions and the Central Committee for Mission Study have united in issuing a series of graded text-books on race relations with a number of others recommended for supplementary work. Most of the missionary organizations have pron vided also for the creation in each local society of a committees to give especial attention to this. matter. It is significant that nearly all the text books were prepared by South- erners and that the executive officers of the Federal Council Commission are all Southern men, indicating that the South is leading im the effort to find a thoroughly Christian basis for the future relations of the races THE EASTER LILY CLUT “9 POSED OF MANY (? « BEST WOMEN IN TH WON AN IMPORTANT “5°... VICTORY IN THE MUS". 41 COURT OF CHICAG |= WEEK. The suits against the Eos © Club, heretofore filed by Attorucy Ellis & Westbrooks for and on behalf of Mrs. Marie Duvall and Mrs. Ann Bartley, were heard by his honor Judge Gualano, on the 8th instant The court entered its finding in favor of the club in both cases. His honor, Judge Gualano, remarked that the club was a charitable corporation and was a power for good among its mem- bers and that it was very apparent that it was the club’s desire and in- tention to handle all the affairs be- tween itself and its members in the most fair and honorable manner, as evidenced by its continued existence for over nine years last past. The court, then held that Mrs. Duvall and Mrs, Bartley had no claim against the club and pudgment was so entered. The Easter Lily Club was repre- sented by Attorney Ralph W. Mar- row. Mrs. Emma Smith, president of the Easter Lily Club, and Mrs. Mary Harsh, its first financial secretary. were the only two of its officers who appeared in the municipal court in connection with the trial of the two cases referred to above. Attorney Harris B. Gaines, assisted Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks to put up + stiff fight against the Easter Lily Club, but Attorney Ralph W. Marrow head- ed them off and won the day for the Easter Lily Club. . The Easter Lily Club has been in existence well on to ten years. It has more than three thousand members and during that length of time it bas accomplished a great deal in a charit- able way for its members. LEAVES FOR OHIO M. T.

Dunn—No, Your Honor, we were married in Chicago, and are on our way to spend a little honeymoon in California. We just stopped over here, and sat a while on the bench.

STUMP, THE SO-CALLED TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN FEASTING ON CHICKEN AND OTHER GOOD EATS OUT IN KANSAS AND IN OTHER POINTS IN THE WEST. East St. Louis, Mo.-I have been out of the reach of the world so to speak all of this week getting ready to go to the National Negro Business League next week, for I am told it is going to be the greatest meeting since Dr. Booker T. Washington left us. It will be a meeting with which he would be pleased. He laid the foundation for an organization that is going to place the race on the map of the business world. The people are beginning at this late date to realize what Booker T. Washington meant to the race, and they are now wishing that he had lived just a few years longer. He has been here, he may not be here in person, yet he lives and will ever live. He made his way to the heart of America, and Americans will ever cherish his memory, and to go to Tuskegee you will see his monument. You will see the work of a great man. He will inspire any boy or girl to want to be something in life. I can close my eyes at any time and take a look at the chapel at Tuskegee and see the place that indicates his lifting that veil of ignorance. To see the man, the book, the plow, and that stalwart figure, Booker T. Washington. Then on the other side of the chapel is his last resting place. He has returned to the God who gave him to us. But I am here to remind you that you should be at the National Negro Business League in Norfolk. L. W. Bright has put in apple pie order the Hotel Mt. Vernon, and there are quarters there for you if you will only step in and see them. It is one of the best hotels erected by my people and for my people. Dr. Robert R. Moton, and the officials of the Business League are planning for a great program, and some of the best men in the race will take part. Every phase of the racial life will be represented, and you will hear some interesting things. There will be more tangible work done this time, for the organization must do something constructive in the future. It must take on something more definite for the uplift of the race. It must be more than a social organization, but they are going to get right down to real business. From the Business League I am going direct to New York for a few hours, and then beat it to California for that great meeting of the National Baptist convention. I have letters from friends in every direction telling me that they are going to be at the National Baptist convention, the largest religious organization in the country, and one that is doing so much for our people. Special trains will go out over the Santa Fe, from Kansas City, Mo., and over the Southern Pacific from New Orleans. I am going to be on one of them, and I am going to be with the people who are doing so many good things for us. The Baptists are doing some practical work these days and you will learn about it at the meeting of the convention in Los Angeles. You could step down to Nashville and see the great building being erected by the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention with Dr. A. M. Townsend as secretary. He is a wonderful business genius, and is putting things over, you will kindly believe me. There is to be erected right in the heart of the business section of Nashville a building costing $300,000, and of course, when they get their fixings in and other things there will be a million dollar concern owned and operated by the National Baptist convention. It shows what we can do when we get our heads together. Did you ever hear of a human buzzer? Well, I am told that there is one in this country, and one who could be called a traitor. I am trying to locate his name and to see what he has done. I heard some fellows talking about him the other day and one fellow said that while he passed for a highly educated man, yet he was a damphule. It seems that he is a big editor, and his brains got in a storm and he made an attack on the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. I am trying to get the magazine and see what was said, in order that I may have my say. Lincoln lived, he made it possible for me to live, for me to be a man, for that damphule to write. Find Prehistoric Boat. A well-preserved canoe of the Stone age has been found in a bog near the castle of Cerilier (Lake of Bienne), in Switzerland. It is made out of the stem of an oak, and is eight feet long and three feet wide. For Preference A reader mentions the case of a detective, who after twenty years, remembered the face of a forger, and arrested the man when the crime had almost been forgotten. One would rather have that sort of memory than that sort of face. for him to edit a paper, and if he has discovered anything which would reflect on this great man, he is—well. I will wait. If you have that magazine, let me see it and I will return it to you. I have been informed that the Grand Lodge of Missouri is in trouble again, for it was voted at the session held in St. Joseph not to pay the tax of the Supreme Lodge. I do not know which one, but they had collected the money from the lodges, and by vote decided to return it to the lodges. You know what this will mean, and if you don't then you ask your Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, who was at one time candidate for Supreme Chancellor and when he failed in election he resorted to this same business and got on the outside, where Missouri will get, for Supreme Chancellor Green will carry out the law if it touched his Grand Daddy. He is a straight forward business man, and when he is right you can't move him. Those who have disagreed have tried to find some way to get his scalp, but he is right and the Pythians stand by him because he is right and a safe, conservative leader. I realize that a newspaper is not a court of trial, and I am not going to attempt to air the Missouri trouble and the affairs of the supreme lodge and the grand lodges in the paper. It will come to you in due time if it belongs to you. I attended the Grand Lodge of Kansas, as I told you in the other letter, then spent Sunday in Kansas City, the guest of the Rev. Mr. Dawson and his household, and from there I made it to St. Louis and stopped for a few hours at Poro, and then moved over to the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. B. M. Scott, of the Baptist faith. They have a home of rest, and I took some rest. Mrs. Elizabeth Scott and her niece, Miss Irene Bryant, made it pleasant for an old sick man. Miss Bryant is an accomplished musician. She can sing and play, and for this work she has been trained. The world is moving right along, and I am doing some moving with it. I have discovered two little girls—one about 16, and sweet sixteen, at that, and the other around ten. They had some kind folks in the country, and their parents decided that they could spend a vacation with them in order to get them ready for study next month. The father is a Baptist preacher. Carrie was the, "Sweet-sixteener," and she was the leader, or in other words, she was the woman, and Lizzie was the baby. Two or three chickens were supplied for the long journey of fifty miles, and put up in a large box. The tickets were purchased, and the parents placed them on their journey. They were to go through Hannibal where an uncle was to meet and greet them. The train had about fifteen minutes to stay there, and Uncle took them off, showed them the large waiting room there, and left them to go back to their car. Behold, there had been some switching going on, the passenger train had been switched to another track, and a freight was'on the track. Carrie said this is the place, and this is the car, and proceeded to shove Lizzie up in the freight car, and in turn Lizzie was trying to pull her up, when the porter came along and stopped them, lifted little Lizzie down and showed them their proper train, and I wish you could have heard these little folks shouting over their chicken lunch—and they did eat. Carrie is just at the age where she can be called "Miss Know All," and she demonstrated it, but she will some day get down to it and learn something else. She is just a green country girl, making her first ride on a train. She now wants to make a trip with "Sister Lizzie" to New York. Someone would have to go along to keep the cows from eating, them for grass. I must not forget to remind you that August 16 is the time for that big Allen Christian Endeavor League Congress in Chicago. Of course you are now ready and will be there on time. The Methodists of Chicago and a few of the Baptists are going to put the big pot in the little one to 'entertain you. Of course you will be there. Watch for my next. CHARLES E. STUMP. Treasure in Sacred Lakas. It is known that for many centuries the Indians as a religious rite threw immense treasures into the sacred lake of Gustavita, Colombia. Professor Farabee, an American, discloses that pure gold to the value of $600,000,000 had been thrown into many other lakes of Central and South America. The Boston Transcript recently ran across this in a story: "She held out her hand and the young man took it and departed." P. A. HON. ADOLPH MARKS Eminent and Popular Lawyer and Senator from the First Senator PALE COCOA A NOVEL SHADE Eminent and Popular Lawyer and Republican Candidate for State Senator from the First Senatorial District of Illinois. Brown Tint Not as Hot-Looking as As many Darker Shades—White Jade to the Fore. Pale cocoa is a novel shade for summer wear, not hot-looking as are so many of the darker browns. Trimmed with bronze or with the proper shade of blue, it is very attractive. Two other new browns have made their appearance. These go by the redolent names of onion and caramel. Shoes to go with these gowns are on the bronze shade, with stockings in the shade known as onion. White jade, like a summer cloud, edging to the fore as a semi-precious bit of loveliness for wear with the summer frock. Often it is combined with green jade, forming a crispy, cool ornament, soft in coloring as a bit of daly studded meadow. There is an extraordinary earring combining the two jades; a pyramidal-shaped plaque dangling from two tiny chains and forming the base on which dangle three pendant drops of the green jade. Cornellan, the gem of grandmother's day, is back again in dignified beauty. Rose quartz is another fitting ornament for summer frocks. Uneven hems, slashed and scalloped and geometrically patterned hems, padded hems, corded hems, braided or embroidered hems—all of these there will be, and it is a question whether the shifting of the center of interest from limbs to hems is not a good thing after all. BEADS ARE HOLDING FAVOR Embellishment Conspicuous on Blouses as Well as on Dresses for Coming Season. The use of head embellishment is conspicuous not only on dresses for the coming season, but blouses show a marked predilection for its use as well. Instead of losing their popularity, as many had predicted, beads have taken on a new lease of life, and judging from statements made by returning dress and blouse buyers and designers, beads are only now coming into their own. New colors and color schemes, novelty designs and the like have much to do with the hearty continuation of the rode. [Name] NI HON. WILLIAM R.

GLOVE MENDING IS AN ART Care Should Be Used in Stitching on Patches; Save Old Hand Coverings for Repair Work. No toilette, however, beautiful, is really complete unless the wearer is well gloved. In these days of expensive gloves, much may be done by deft fingers to lengthen their days of service. The usual rough-and-ready mode of mending by sewing up the holes is not only unsightly, but by tearing the glove hastens its end. A glove needle is necessary, and cotton thread of the same color as the glove quite essential. First of all, make tiny buttonhole stitches all round, and into these work another row until the hole is completely filled up, being careful to allow for the play of the hand by not drawing it in. Another way is to keep handy a bundle of old gloves. Select one as nearly as possible for the color required. Turn the glove to be repaired inside out, and cut from the old glove a strip that will well cover the hole, allowing a good margin. Lay this flat, insert a glove stretcher or pencil (if a finger), and tack on the piece with large stitches on the inner side and small on the outer. Turn the glove back to the right side and draw the hole together over the patch. The Foulard Frock "Do not make up your foulard into a 'fussy' gown." This is the advice of a modiste whose gowns appear at most of the smart gatherings in New York. "Foulard," the modiste continues, is like muslin. It looks best when treated very simply and loses most of its charm when bedecked with too many items of ornament. Since it is essentially a hot-weather fabric, foulard should be allowed to look as cool as possible, an effect not possible if fussiness is evident. A large shade hat, trimmed with great simplicity, is the proper headgear for the wearer of a foulrd frock." Even Better Than "Eczema." A Prague physician says he has made a discovery that will send head colds to the discard.
