Mueller, Republican candidate for re-election as one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, is one of the most popular German-Americans in this city or country and needs no long introduction to the great army of readers of this newspaper. He was born on the 12th day of December, 1865, in Germany, arriving in this country in the spring of 1881, located at Chester, Randolph County, Illinois, where he worked on a farm for two years; removing to Chicago on May 1, 1883, he located in the same district where he now resides at 4917 South Loomis street.

Lyle, Republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, six year term, has been prominently in the public eye for some years. In 1914 he was elected to the Legislature of this state and re-elected in 1916, where he made a splendid record for he was always fighting and working hard for the passage of reform measures which have been of great benefit to all the people residing within the grand old state of Illinois. Sanitary District of Chicago stood for honesty and efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs. It was through Alderman Lawley's efforts that modern up-to-date business methods were introduced into city affairs in the preparations of the budget. He also caused to be introduced in modern bookkeeping and accounting methods. He has always received the unqualified endorsement of civic bodies and has been praised by the press for securing budget reform. He has always been accustomed to handling big problems as a result of his vast experience on the various important committees of the City Council, and in that work he was often brought in close contact with his present position as one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. At Deputy, in the Board of Review, serving in that capacity until April 1, 1909. Then he plunged into politics in dead earnest, for at the April election in 1909, he was elected to the City Council from the old fighting 29th ward. He was re-elected Alderman from the same ward in 1911, winning out by only twenty votes; but he was deprived of his seat by a strong partisan vote in the City Council. Being undaunted, he was still a strong factor and a prominent leader of the Republican party on the southwest side, and he successfully organized the Lake Building Material Co. of which he was President for three years; disposing of his interest in that company, he successfully engaged in the Real Estate business under the firm name of Matt. A. Mueller and Company, located at 5047 S.

He has successfully been engaged in the active practice of all branches of the law in this city for 16 years. He stands at the head of the law firm Horner, Democrat, polled 1,251 votes to the 307 recorded for Jerome J. Crowley, the Republican nominee. The Bar Association is largely Republican, but its first principle is to stand by sitting judges with good records, and Judge Horner's total is considered a striking demonstration of the importance the lawyers attach to this principle. The results of the referendum on judges of the Municipal Court were as follows: the election in November, 1916, he was chosen one of the Trustees of that district and in that position he is more than making good at every inch of the road. He is chairman of its finance committee which is the most important committee in connection with the Sanitary District of Chicago.

No. 4 entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug. 9, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago d. Under Act of March 8, 1879 WHITE SOUTHERNER PRAISES NEGRO CHARACTER A white Southerner, Archibald Rutledge, writing in the August 23rd number of "The Outlook," published at 381 Fourth Avenue, New York, gives one of the most encouraging and friendly pictures of Negro home life that has appeared in recent years, according to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Under the title, "By The Black Heartstone," Mr. Rutledge tells visits to an old colored man, a friend with whom he had hunted in boyhood. "I want to bear testimony," says Mr. Rutledge, "that the Negro has the grace of heart to be as gremly courteous as any man who walks the earth. And by courteous I do not mean merely kindly and hospitable, I mean that he can sense the fitness of things and that he knows something of the reticences and the deferences of the heart. I take it that courtesy of this sort is an exciting authentic sign of character; and I know that I have found high and gentle courtesy in the Negro." Mr. Rutledge further, after a convincing description of his Negro friend and the charming house in which he lives, assails the caricature of the race spread in motion pictures and magazines: "Inevitably he will be shown to be cowardly, absurd, pilfering, scheming, credulous, preposterous. If the characterizations were true, they might be ludicrous; but nearly all of them are shamelessly false. Long have I been amazed that the American public should be for so great a length of time so deeply deluded. The popular idea of the Negro is as menacing to his and to the country's welfare, as it is essentially false." 1 If any one will take the trouble to observe where the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County and the members of the Board of Review reside, they will learn that at least two of those taxing officials reside on the west side, one in Blue Island, one on the northwest side, one on the Gold Coast on the north side and two on the south side, east of State street. That the people residing in the 29th, 30th, 31st and 32nd wards, and in all parts of the Town of Lake, including Englewood and all the other territories near it, have no taxing official to raise their voice in their behalf, on the Board of Review or the Board of Assessors of Cook County. In 1912 Hon. Michael K. Sheridan, who has always been highly endorsed by the leading daily and weekly news- WILL DISCUSS "CHURCH IN SOCIAL WORK" AT URBAN LEAGUE CONFERENCE HORACE J. BRIDGES TO SPEAK One of the subjects to be discussed at the Annual Conference of the Urban League at Pittsburgh, October 17th to 20th, which will attract a large audience is "THE CHURCH IN SOCIAL WORK" Dr. A. Clayton Powell, Pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, New York City; Dr. F. Q. Blanchard, renown pulpitier and Pastor of the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, Cleveland, Ohio; and Miss Nannie Burroughs, noted woman orator, will speak. At the meeting on "INTER-RACIAL CO-OPERATION" Horace J. Bridges, Leader of the Chicago Ethical Society will speak. Mr. Bridges is known throughout England and the United States as a profound student of ethical questions and his lectures on equality of races have created much discussion. He is to speak on --- papers, as an honest, successful clean cut business man, was elected as a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County from the 31st ward, and as a member of that board he lowered the values of property of both white and colored people residing along Dearborn street, Federal street, Ada street, and in other sections of the city where the poorer classes of people reside, in order to enable them to pay for their little homes and the heavy taxes which are continually being imposed upon them, and Mr. Sheridan raised the real estate values among the millionaires, so that they would be forced to stand their just share of taxation. Therefore, as Mr. Sheridan has in the past proven his friendship for the small taxpayers they should, regardless of their political affiliations, on Tuesday, November 7, cheerfully assist to elect him as one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. Wednesday night. Other speakers recently added to the program are Mrs. Ira Couch Wood, Director of the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial, Chicago, who has recently toured England studying Child Problems and their relation to Health—Child Health being her subject; William C. Graves, Secretary to Julius Rosenwald and Harry Eugene Kelly, member of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations, who will discuss the Commission's recent report on the causes of the Chicago riot—said report having received considerable publicity during the past few weeks. A notable gathering of white and colored students of the problems of race relations is expected and the Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, Eugene Kinckle Jones, at 127 East 23rd Street, New York City is still asking all of those interested in attending the conference to communicate with him. Persons planning to attend the conference who wish accommodations secured for them should communicate with John T. Clark, Executive Secretary of the Pittsburgh Urban League, 518 Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. (Special to The Broad Ax) Richmond, Va.—Robert T. Kerlin, white, former professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro," is to enter suit for $50,000 against that institution for damages to his pocket-book and reputation. Prof. Kerlin, it will be recalled, wrote a letter to the governor of Arkansas, protesting against the execution of the Elaine riots, who were railroaded thru a trial and sentenced to death, on grounds that the Negroes concerned were only acting in self-defense. As a result of his protest he was dismissed from the V. M. I. faculty. The declaration sets out that the school officials published damaging articles about him and caused him much inconvenience, making it impossible for him to secure further employment in the South, and contrived wickedly and maliciously to injure the reputation which he had been for eleven years building up. One of the most interesting features of the suit is the fact that all counsel for Prof. Kerlin are colored, that making a precedent in the history of the state when two colored men bring suit against one of the leading white institutions of the state and in half of a white client. Wm. F. Denny, of Richmond, Va., is leading counsel, assisted by B. Frank Harris, of Peterburg, Va. CHICAGO,ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO WOULD HIGHLY DELIGHT TO BECOME A REAL LIVE TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS BEEN VISITING IMPORTANT POINTS IN NEW MEXICO AND IN CALIFORNIA WHERE HE HAD THE TIME OF HIS LIFE. Albuquerque, New Mexico. — Now you see where I am this week, but, when I wrote you last week I was in California and when you read this letter it is hard to tell just where I will be, for this is one more moving age, and it seems that I have been moving myself. Hence, you see the world is never still, and if you would occupy space, you must keep busy. I am not dead, and far from being there, yet things have been a little dark and gloomy at times, and I at one time felt like my wings were demanding their place and I was getting ready to fly all over heaven, but I am right back here on earth, and this time it was due to the knife of Dr. C. S. Diggs, who used to be in Waxahachie, Texas, but is now right in Los Angeles, Cal. He has put me on the map, and believe me when I tell you the people in Los Angeles know that he is there, and he is filling an important place, and you will believe me. He did not come out to practice medicine, but to do the medicine act, for he had been blessed with plenty practice down in Texas and was ready for real taking to the people in Los Angeles, ability and experience, and they were ready for him. It is marvelous how our people from down home are making good in the West. For there is Dr. S. S. Turner; from Shreveport, La, and I have told you about her before, and she wan my cutter when I was out there in June. She is progressive and aggressive, and now I have before you Dr. Diggs, who is from Texas, and believe me when I tell you it takes a man to live in Texas, and if you can pass through there, then you can go at the head of your class anywhere. I find pleasure in telling you about these wonderful characters, and I hope it will be an inspiration to other young people to get down and get it in their heads and then take their places among men and women as they and others are doing. I certainly had me one more time in Los Angeles. I was the guest of Dr. J. A. H. Eldridge, and he is a soul doctor. I think you call them doctors of divinity. He is one, and one of the best preachers in California, and I say nothing about color or race. He is right there with the goods, and right by his side is to be found his companion, who is a well trained cultured woman, and just the companion for her husband. They have one daughter, who is just like her mother and just like her father, and that says she is here for real active service. She is a combination of mother and father and both of them are up to now. I had the pleasure of visiting the Trinity Baptist Church of which he is pastor. With God bless you, I left these good people for Pheonix, Ariz, and it was a real nice ride. I got a bed car and went to bed. Reverends T. L. Griffith, D. D., and J. A. H. Eldridge and Mrs. Norene Davis, were at the stable to see me quit the town, and shake the California dust from my feet for the time being. The bed car was crowded, but I had my bed and a lower bed at that, and enjoyed the trip very much. Now then I found that I had lost my collar and tie when I got to the stable to leave, and with my head bandaged, blood showing, I got in town next morning and started up the street with my head tied up. The police looked at me and I looked at him, and I ventured to say to him "Hello, Bud, how is you today?" He replied and I went on up the street, bought collar and tie, then Dr. Johnson saw me, and rushed across the street. He used to know me in the United States. He is looking after feet, and I am proud to say that along that line he's an expert. He asked about my head, and when I told him what had happened, he called Dr. W. C. Hackett, to was soon right there, and put her dressing on my top, and drove me around in his car, and then made me open my eyes, for he carried me to his palatial home and to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital, which is the work of this same Dr. Hackett. He has put his money in it and is supporting him himself. Here is what he has on his card: "Horas De Oficina: 10 A. 12 A. M.: 2 A. 5 P. M. 1342 Esta Calle Jefferson. Dr. W. C. Hackett Medico Cirujano" There was more on it, but I just give you this much for reasons, just now, but believe me, that the man is fixed for taking care of the sick Phoenix is one of the places where you go if you get the tuberculosis, and he has a hospital for other sickness, and then he has erected a number of individual cottages, just for that class of sick people. This is something we have needed for years, and I am proud to be able to tell you about it in this letter. I am finding out many things for my people, and you will get much information if you will just follow me over this country. You will agree that I get over some, and you will perhaps be surprised to know that I covered 22,816 miles during the month of September. That is going some. I remained in town all day. Just as I was about to get out at night, I had the pleasure of meeting the pastor of the Baptist Church, the Rev E. D. Green. He was on shaking grounds, and told me that he would have had me at the church, but he intended to offer his resignation the next night, and would go to another part of the world. I did not ask the trouble, for it was none of my business. I will have some other things to say to you at another time, will you believe me? This Phoenix town is one more hot place, and of course you know they raise cotton in Arizona, and they have separate schools, separate this, that and the other, but then there are some redeeming features. I went to the office, to get me a bed car, but they told me that for the train I was to leave on they did not have any beds, but could fix me up on that all bed car carriage which left at 5 o'clock, but I would not have any trouble in getting a bed at Maricopa on train No. 4, which is the Golden State Limited, of the Rock Island. I left Phoenix at 11 o'clock at night, and reached that other place at 12:40, and the wagon got there at 1 o'clock. I made for the bed car, and the reporter, a man of my race, looked at me and wanted to know why I didn't check that box I had. I asked him if he had any down stairs beds. He said he did not know. I would have to see the conductor. Well, just about then, "Mr. Charley" came along, and that same fellow put on a grin that was an insult to the Gold Dust Twins, and when he asked him about a lower bed, he told him that he thought he had plenty, there is the conductor, while he tried to force me to go up ahead in the other carriage, known as day coach to wait for that conductor to come up there. I spoke to the white man in question, and he told me he had lower beds, and told this same guy to put me in "Lower 6" Now that reporter, did lift rae or my luggage up, showed me lower six, and to bed I went, but believe me honey, the next morning I found that he did not look my shoewear. I am not going to do any cussing, for he belongs to that class of damphules you have been reading about, and the late Booker T. Washington, said never let a fellow pull you down by making you angry. I prayed for him, asking God to forgive him and at the same time give him a vision. I reached El Paso about noon, went to the home of Mrs. B. F. Grigsby, one of the leading women in this country, and who is doing a great work in F' Paso. She is a worker, and so is her husband. They are doing things. They have a beautiful home, and her son was at one time in Chicago, but he is now at home working in the shops, and there doing some real good work. I was delighted to see them, visited the school, and met Prof. W. M. Coleman, who is an official in the Masonic Grand Lodge and a worker from way back yonder. He made me welcome in the schools, and at night I talked to the people in the Baptist church. Wonderful age and wonderful people. I beat it from there to this place, and here I am in this high dry town, but not well. I will soon be out of it. While here I am with the Rev. W. T. Green, who is the man in this state. He is pastor of a fine church here, although it is small they pay he salary of a city, and then in addition to that he has charge of the whole state, known as the missionary. He is spreading the work, and is a well trained man. I wish that I had the time to tell you all about this man. He was born in Illinois, educated in Missouri and Nashville, Tenn., and now he is spending his time out here where he is needed Brains in the right place. Send mail for me now to 802 Ash Street, Texarkana, Ark. CHARLES E. STUMP. THE SERVICE CLUB The Red Circle Service Club entertained the inmates of Speedway Hospital last Friday evening.

He sold newspapers, on the south side corners not only to aid his parents but to earn money to pay his way through De La Salle Institute. At the age of 30 he was elected Alderman of the 5th ward, and re-elected to the same office in 1913. As Alderman from the 5th ward he procured the abolition for all time of the obnoxious Bubbly Creek which for years had endangered the health of the people. The Creek was filled in and it was then possible to make Thirty-ninth street a thoroughfare from the Lake to the Forest Preserve.
