Eberhardt, Republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, new full six-year term, is so well and favorably known that it is very hard to attempt to write anything which would tend to laud him in the smallest degree. He was born in this great city, educated in its public schools, and, in time, graduated with high honors from the Lewis Institute and the Northwestern University. He is the highly honored son of the late Judge Max Eberhardt, who like his son was an honor to the legal profession, his father before him was among the first Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. He had always been extremely friendly to the colored people, and, as his son will be elevated to the Municipal Bench, the colored people will still have a friend at court. Mr. Eberhardt always conducts himself like a highly cultured gentleman, has been successfully engaged in the practice of law for fifteen years, and for three years he has served as an Assistant Attorney General of the State of Illinois.

SCHWARTZ, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW HON. ULYSSES S. SCHWARTZ, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge, Republican candidate for County Commissioner, was born on a farm in southern Illinois, receiving her education in the Public Schools, after which she taught school for two years. For six years she was private secretary for her father at the Southern Illinois Penitentiary and for seven years she was the chief buyer for a large department store. Five and a half years ago Hon. Joseph F. Haas, the best County Re- Hon. Michael Rosenberg, Democratic candidate for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, was born right here in dear old Chicago 36 years ago, receiving his education in its public schools later on rounding it out or finishing it up in a first-class business college, in starting in life for himself he began right down at the bottom of the ladder and gradually worked his way on up to the top. Looking around for something to do in his early manhood days he succeeded in finding a position with the Foreman Bros. Banking Co. as paying teller, holding that position down for a few years, with the help of some of his warm friends he was able to engage in business for himself and after much hard work on his part and close attention to business today he is successfully engaged in several lines of profitable business. He is the president of the International Lamp Manufacturing Corporation, which employs more than three hundred and seventy-five colored men and women; when Mr. Rosenberg first started in to employ colored men and women the Hon. Ulysses S. Schwartz, Democratic candidate for Member of the Board of Review of Cook County, Illinois, was born in the City of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, and is of immigrant parents. He was educated in the public schools of Norway, Mich., graduated from the John Marshall Law School, Chicago, and was admitted to the practice of law in 1910, he was appointed Assistant Prosecutor of the city by Mayor Carter H. Harrison in 1911, and served 4 years. He afterwards attracted special attention by his vigorous prosecution of the Chicago Street Railway Company, compelling them to furnish better heating and ventilation of cars, and he collected many thousands of dollars in fines as a result of his efforts. This was the first case of its character ever instituted in Chicago. He was elected to the City Council in 1916, from the 3rd ward, and the following year appointed to the finance committee and has served continually since that time, and is now a member of the firm of Kelly, Fried- HON.

It should seem reasonable to every colored person who is deeply interested in the welfare of his race that Mr. Rosenberg is justly entitled to receive some of the very few of the colored people on Tuesday, November 7, in man, Schwartz and Doyle, lawyers, and is a member of the following committees of the City Council: Finance; He was elected to the City Council Local Transportation; Railroads; Industries Compensation. He abolished the absurd system by which the Council since his election. He experts were overpaid millions of dollars in fees for their services. In 1919 he was made chairman of the Local Transportation Committee and has served in that capacity since his election. He formulated the well-known "Schwartz Traction Plan," for the solution of Chicago's difficult traction problems; a plan that will lower fares without reducing wages; enables the building of subways, elevated and street railway extensions. In 1922 he instituted the suits against the Adams, Beatty, Francois Company compelling the return of over $200,000 paid to them for work which was never performed. In the recent street car strike he organized the Citizens' Committee, which by bringing public pressure to bear, procured the sudden termination of Chicago's transportation tie-up. In this regard, his efforts in behalf of all concerned and, especially the public, brought about the enthusiastic commendation of the public, commer- 3. Judge Howard Hayes, Rep...1,117 4.

Mr. Schwartz starts today as a candidate for the Board of Review, on an endorsed public record of fearlessness, intelligence, efficiency and economy. He is at the present time chairman of the Local Transportation Committee, chairman of the Committee on Committees, and chairman of the SubCommittee of the Finance Committee on expert fees. Such honor and compliment has been rarely ever paid to the competence and honesty of any other member of the City Council. Alderman Schwartz, because of his record as a public servant of the City of Chicago, because of his long experience in public affairs, because of the thought and study he has given taxation problems, and because of the proficiency he has displayed in the discharge of every duty, and because of the special efforts made by him to favor the colored, as well as the white people, is justified in asking every thinking citizen for his or her undivided support in his candidacy for the office of Member of the Board of Review.

He Has Never Been Known to Raise His Little Finger in Opposition to Its Progress or Advancement. HON. EDWARD J. GLACKIN Democratic Candidate for Re-Election to the State Senate from the Seventeenth Senatorial District of Illinois. He is One of the Greatest Champions of the Rights of the Common People and His Past Senatorial Record Shines Forth without One Blemish on It. Hon. Charles Ringer, Republican candidate for County Treasurer, was born in Nova Scotia, February 27th, 1874, coming to this city with his parents when he was about ten years old and residing in the city of his adoption for the past 38 years. At that time his forebearers located in the Hyde Park district and from that time to the present Mr. Ringer has been actively engaged in the development of that great section of Chicago, in fact he has accomplished more for the permanent expansion and for the upbuilding of the Calumet district than any other single individual residing in that part of this great city. For many years Mr. Ringer has been successfully engaged in the real estate business and that is one reason why the vast majority of the real estate men in this city are loyally supporting him in his race for County Treasurer. He started in on his successful business career in a very small way, but by being honest and straightforward in his dealings with his fellow men success had more than crowned his efforts in the business world. Some evil or low or narrow-minded white and colored people, who are ready to attempt to drag or pull an honest man down by foul or unfair means, have been circulating the false report far and near that Mr. Ringer is one of the head members of the Ku Klux Klan in this city. That statement is as far from the truth as the bright shining sun is from the earth. It seems that the thoughtless brained persons who make or utter such false and malicious statements have failed to take into consideration the bold fact that no white person not born in this country can ever become a member of the Ku Klux Klans. Their book containing their secret oath and so on which lies before us right now so statei and Mr. Ringer being born in Nova Scotia, is therefore down and in when it comes down to joining the three K. K. K's. This statement is simply made in all fairness to Mr. Ringer as we firmly believe in being fair and just to all men black or white, rich or high, high or Jew, or gentle, and as Brother Ringer is traveling East, like the writer, he is justly entitled to a square deal from us through the columns of this newspaper. Mr. Ringer is an honored and prominent member of the following lodges and clubs: Trilumner Lodge, No. 767 A. F. A. M.; Cheltenham Lodge, No. 113 I. O. O. F.; Invincible Lodge, No. 353 K. of P.; Chicago Lodge, No. 4 B. P. O. E.; Loyal Order of Moose; Friendship Council Royal League; Hamilton Club of Chicago. For the past six years Mr. Ringer has been a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook county and within the past two weeks he has stated open and above board at several largely attended meetings composed of colored people which he has addressed, "that for the past six years 13 colored people both men and women have been constantly employed in the rooms of the Board of Assessors and that if he is elected County Treasurer that colored men and women will be placed in positions in that office and that his past or present record amply proves that he is not unfriendly to the colored race." CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS BEEN CONFINED TO THE PARK SANITARIUM AT GUTHRIE, OKLA. HE IS ON THE MEND AGAIN AND ABLE TO CONTINUE HIS TRAVELS AND WRITINGS. I reached here about 5 o'clock one morning, and while Dr. and Mrs. Conrad were asleep, I was received by the nurse, Miss Eva Oten, who had on her face the smile of an angel yet she had been busy with the sick all night long. 'Soon she informed me that my room was ready, and I could get in bed. She discovered that I was a sick man. I dropped off to sleep, and I don't know how long. I slept before I was reminded by the chief of the bath room, Sylvester Frazier, that he had instructions from the doctor to give me a bath. Well, he led me to the bath tub, and soon had me in it, and treated me like he was treating a little baby, except there was a special rub and twist which he put to it. When this was over then he took me out, rubbed me, and then led me to another room where I was placed in a bed just like I came into the world. He had a aoo and a zoo something which he carried all over me, for a while it tickled me, and then it put funny feelings all over PETER H. HON. EMMETT WHEALAN Democratic Candidate for Re-Election as County Commissioner; He Is a Strong Friend of the Poor or the Common People. One Year Ago He Contributed One Hundred Dollars to the Fort Dearborn Hospital, Showing That His Big Heart Beats in Sympathy for the Colored People. Hon. Emmett Whelan, Democratic candidate, for re-election as County Commissioner, is a man possessing all the qualities requisit to the position which he now seeks, and he has previously proven himself worthy of every consideration. He has made a fine record for 20 years in the newspaper business, and upon his miserious conduct is now asking the support of every fair-minded man and woman in the city to allow him further privilege to vindicate himself and prove his capability by his strenuous efforts to appropriate every means whereby the poor and unfortunate masses may profit. He was born in Chicago in 1876, and is a member of Typographical my body. I think he called it a vapener or some other rator. This Park Sanitarium is one of the best in this country and it is prepared to do the work. It had electricity about it. Now I will never be able to tell you what happened, but just as he was through, Dr. H. W. Conrad, entered the room, and ged me to remain just like I came into the world. He examined every part of me, said I had blood pressure 185, and then went over the pump, and put me on the scales, and found that I had jumped up just a little in weight, for in child like simplicity I weighed 252½, and by that I mean I had only on what nature had placed there, and none of you garments. Next Dr. Conrad wont into my head, and it treated it ever since. I am now about 250. Next I came in touch with one of the most raritable women of the age. IMP, THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT DAX, HAS FOR TWO WEEKS BEEN IN THE PARK SANI-UTHRIE, OKLA. HE FIEND AGAIN AND INUE. HIS TRAVELS Mrs. P. G. Conrad. She is the wife of her husband, and the superintendent of the nurse training department of the hospital—in fact she is just the business end of that institution, for she sees to the diet of the patients and those who are not sick. She sees to it that the nurses get their training, and then she is on the job night and day. I like to talk about her because she has made her place in this world and then she has been a power behind her husband. Well I have told you before about Dr. Conrad, for he is from Kentucky, and a graduate from Simmons (State) University in Louisville, and he is a true Kentuckian, and his wife comes from the same school and has that same inspiration which Dr. William J. Simmons dished out to the world and to the young people. He was a great man and believe me he produced great men and women, and I am sorry that the Lord saw fit to take him to heaven, yet I am not going to bother with the Lord's business. He left his mark behind him. My nurses here have been Mrs. P. G. Conrad, Miss Eva Oten and Miss Abigail Bowen, and all them baths and rubbings have been done by Mr. Frazier, while the main work has been done by Dr. H. W. Conrad, and I would recommend this place to anybody who needs treatment and rest. Dr. Conrad is some doctor believe me, and he has helped many. I have had just the proper chewing, the proper attention, and I think I will remain here just a little longer, because I have been to this place. The Lord is doing wonderful things, and yet so many of our people are passing out.

He has also proven highly efficient as chairman of the Forest Preserve Board and won public approval as a courteous, capable, industrious commissioner. As one of the leading officials o the Cook County Hospital, he is always greatly, interested in the welfare of the colored people who enter or frequent that county institution, and it is always with pleasure that he looks after the sick colored people residing in the old 31st Ward. On the request and recommendation of Alderman Scott M. Hogan of that ward, and as Commissioner Whelan stands high in the estimation of the colored people in all parts of the city, he honestly feels that many of them will cast their votes in favor of him on Tuesday, Nov. 7th. were doing things there. But I missed Dr. F. L. Lights, Dr. A. Barbour, M. M. Rodgers and several others who have crossed to the Great Beyond. Speaking of the Great Beyond, the sad news came to me that Miss E. B. Delaney is no more. She has gone to that long rest. I am sorry to learn of her death, because she had planned so many things for Africa where she had already labored a number of years, and where she contracted disease which eventually led to her death. She was a great woman, but she is no more. She has gone to join Morris, Simmons, DeBaptist, Stewart, Cole, Buchanan and many others who have gone on before them. Some day I am to join that same company, but perhaps not just now. Heaven is my home, and a letter from Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, informs me that I am homesick. Well, perhaps I am. --- The convention was a great big meeting and went on record as favoring Dr. L. K. Williams, of Olivet Baptist church, Chicago, for the position of president of the National Baptist convention. This is indeed a good move, and I think will result in great good. Dr. Williams is one of the best prepared men in the Baptist ranks, and then he is some business man. He has made good in every department where he has worked, and he is still making good. He went to Chicago, took charge of Olivet Baptist church, and the membership increased so fast that they had to move out, and then they got another great building, and have outgrown it. It is now the largest church in the world, for they have a membership of 10,085, and that is going some. Then he has inspired the people to work. L. K. Williams is a source of inspiration, and he will give to the Baptists of this country a business administration. I will tell you more about him in another letter.

He says that he hopes the Negroes will go to the democrats and then they can build up a respectable republican party in the state, and then he has been talking about how he will put the Negro in his place if he is elected.

I don't see how in the h——I a country like this will elect a man at the head of a state because he is against certain of its citizens. Such a man will stir up prejudice, stir up strife, encourage lynchings, encouraging the taking of human life and the destruction of property, and now is the time for the people to speak out. Shall forever the empty headed men, without a vision, without the first step to a statesman, be put in office because he knows how to abuse a Negro, and if the republican party elects such a hellion, then I am through with the party in Oklahoma forever. I am not ever the defeat of that Dyer bill in the Senate. But I will not say more about it now, but I am thinking like a good fellow. I am going into Texas in a few days and will bring this letter to a stop until then. Ancient Engineering. Research brings to light interesting descriptions of Greek and Roman engineering instruments.

Asahikawa and districts in Hokwakdo, Japan, suffered an unusual drop of temperature on June 24, 1922, all the lakes and streams freezing. Such an experience at that time of the year has only been recorded once before in those localities. That was 35 years ago when the rivers froze on July 2. Serious damage was done to crops. The Northwest Passage. The Northwest passage is a passage for ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean by the northern coasts of the American continent, long sought for. Sir Robert McClure in his expedition of 1850-1854 was the first to achieve the passage, although part of the journey was made on ice. It was the terminal examination, and a building philosopher concluded his essay on Mother Earth with this starting statement: "The earth revolves on its own axis 385 times in 24 hours.

Sheridan, Democratic candidate for Member of Board of Assessors, has lived in the City of Chicago since 1888, and for twenty years was manager of the shipping department of the big packing plant of Morris & Company. In 1912 he was appointed Deputy Clerk of the Criminal Court and in the fall of that year was elected Member of the Board of Assessors. He has earned the respect and esteem of the citizens of Cook County regardless of party lines, because of his fairness and courtesy and his devotion to the interests of all the people. He is a man of generous and TO HAVE BRASS BAND Morgan Park is to have a brass band by that community not later than Thanksgiving.

He is a man with an intellectual horizon, inspiring regard, trust and admiration, not unmingled with brotherly love. He has proved himself deserving of all the support and consideration that can possibly he given by the colored people by his extreme kindness and devotion to their welfare, and he expects to be re-elected by the votes of all of his friends on Tuesday, Nov. 7th.

Republican Candidate for Re-Election As a Turtee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, Owing to the Splendid and Honorable Record Which He Has Made in His Present Position, Entitles Him to Re-Election on Tuesday, November 7. Lately Mr. Lawley Secured the Appointment of Miss Gertrude Brown, a Bright and Intelligent Young Colored Woman to a Position in the Rooms of the Board of Review of Cook County. M. Hon. James H. Lawley, Republican candidate for re-election as one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, was ushered in this grand old world right here in the great city of Chicago in 1876, and in every sense of the word he is a genuine Chicagoan, receiving his education in its public schools, later on graduating with high honors from the Illinois College of Law. For five terms, or ten years, he was one of the very valuable members of the City Council from the Fourteenth Ward, and as a member of that body his wise counsel was constantly sought by the other members of the city legislative body. He was for a long time one of the very strong and influential members of the finance, gas, oil and electric light committees of the City Council. He always 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 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 Coun- eil, 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 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. Mr. Lawley is one of the most popular public officials in Cook county for he always greets everyone with an extremely pleasant smile and with a warm grasp of the hand and at all times he conducts himself like a high class gentleman and the voters in this city and county will make no mistake in re-electing Mr. Lawley to his present position on Tuesday, November 7, for at all times in the past he has proved himself to be an honest and faithful public servant. For many years he has been very prominent in benevolent and fraternal work. He is an honored member of the Phi Alpha Delta League fraternity, Garden City Lodge A. F. and A. M., York Chapter, 148 R. A. M. Columbia Commandery No. 63, Medinah Temple A. A. C. N. M. S., Knights of Pythias, Loyal Order of Moose, National Union, and fraternal Order of Eagles. All of the above is sufficient proof that Brother Lawley continues to travel east on the royal masonic road. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN WAS PRESENTED WITH A BEAUTIFUL SILVER LOVING CUP BY THE COLORED CITIZENS OF CHICAGO AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL. JULIUS F. TAYLOR PROPOSED THREE CHEERS FOR HIM AND HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON LEAD OFF IN THE CHEERING. HON. JOHN H. LYLE, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT Last Friday evening the Hon. Martin B. Madden who is at all times fighting for the under dog in the great struggle for existence, was present at the testimonial meeting in his honor at the Wendell Phillips High School at which time he was presented with a beautiful silver loving cup under the auspices of the Appomattox Club at which time the following program was rendered.

VIRGIN ISLANDERS ARE SUF- FERING "More Capital, Better Farming, and Thrift Education Are Needed." Says Frederick MacFarlane DAILY WAGE IS 40 CENTS Hampton, Va.—Natives of the Virgin Islands, which were acquired by the United States from Denmark in 1917 through purchase, after many years of futile negotiation, are suffering from dire poverty on account of the rapid removal of Danish capital, the heavy inroads of the cotton bollweevil, and the wasteful "mining" of the soil by the extensive and persistent cultivation of sugar cane, according to Frederick MacFarlane, a native of St. Croix and former instructor in history at the junior-senior high school of St. Thomas, who spoke recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on "The History and Economic Conditions of the Virgin Islands." Professor MacFarlane has spent the past twelve years in the Virgin Islands. Previously he devoted three years to study in Denmark, where he prepared himself to become a translator in the Danish language. Recently he brought to Hampton Institute three promising, high-school boys from the Virgin Islands. These boys will be educated at Hampton Institute out of funds which will be raised in the Virgin Islands and among Virgin Islanders living in New York and other large cities. Some of Professor, MacParlane's observations on the Virgin Islands may be summarized as follows: "The Orphan Islands" Little is known about the Virgin Islands, which were under the control HON. JOHN H. LY CANDIDATE FOR MUNICIPA Hon. John H. Lyle, republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, has three his ancestry, been a rock ribbed republican all of his life, and every colored person in this city should heartily support him and request their friends to do so, for the following reasons: Ald. Lyle's grandfather, David Lyle, who owned a plantation in Tennessee, freed thirty-two slaves, provided for their future existence, cast his lot with the Union, and tendered great service in the cause of freedom. The Rebels burned the plantation home, a great general store near by, and two mills; drove off with a large number of horses and mules and some prairie schooner wagons in which he used to haul manufactured goods from Kentucky and Virginia over the mountains into Tennessee. Wythe Lyle shot down the rebel flag over Congressman Roderick Random Butler's home, and when the Rebels got him they were going to shoot him before breakfast, but he climbed down ```markdown ``` MADDEN WAS PRE- A BEAUTIFUL SIL- CUP BY THE COL- LS OF CHICAGO AT L PHILLIPS HIGH L OR PROPOSED R S FOR HIM AND A. ETTELSON LEAD EERING. .....Hon. Samuel A. Ettleson The building was filled from end to end with many of the white and colored friends of Congressman Madden, many prominent members of both races occupying seats on the platform. Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson delivered an eloquent oration in presenting the loving cup to the honored guest of the evening at the same time a very beautiful bouquet of American Beauty roses was presented to him for his good wife, Mrs. Madden. Congressman Madden was very much affected when he rose and attempted to respond to the many pleasant things which had been said about him by the several speakers and he did say in fact "that he valued the silver loving cup more highly than all of the money in the world, that as long as he lived he would teach his grand children to dearly love and respect the colored people." At the conclusion of the set program a reception was held in his honor in the parliors of the Appomattox Club. of Denmark for 250 years. The Virgin Islands might be called the "orphan islands" since no one bureau of the U. S. Government cares to assume responsibility for them. The Virgin Islands include about 124 square miles—St. Croix (bought by Denmark of France in 1733), 80 square miles; St. Thomas (taken by Denmark in 1671) and St. John (taken by Denmark in 1683), 44 square miles. Slavery Abolished In 1848 Negro slavery was abolished dramatically in the Virgin Islands. The governor-general, named von Scholten, on July 3, 1848, acting on his own responsibility, declared the slaves free and issued the emancipation proclamation on July 4. In September, 1848, this act of the governor-general was confirmed by the King of Denmark. In 1841 the Danish government started schools for the children of Negro slaves in the Virgin Islands. Low Wages. Bring Suffering In the last days of the Danish administration, full-grown men received 25 cents per day for their labor. In 1915 a labor union was organized and in 1916 a six-week strike brought the daily wage of the laborer to 40 cents. Then the World War carried the daily wage to 96 cents. Now the daily wage of the laboring man has dropped to 40 cents and the laboring man can secure only two days of labor each week. Handicapped by Traditions The Virgin Islands lie eighty miles east of Porto Rico and eighteen degrees north of the Equator. The people on these islands are handicapped by their devotion to conventions and traditions, especially in the matter of farming. The people of the Virgin Islands want the type of education for which Hampton Institute stands—a type which will teach men, women, and children the principles of thrift and sound reasoning. YLE, REPUBLICAN R JUDGE OF THE L COURT the lightning rods of the Court House and got away, and is now living in Florida. After the race riots, in this city in 1919 Ald. Lyle defended one of the colored men who killed the ringleader of a mob on the south side, and the jury turned him loose. Ald. Lyle made a wonderful plea in behalf of this colored man, a local preacher who was defending his wife and children. Let no colored citizen fail to tell this story between now and November 7th and see that every vote is cast for Ald. Lyle. He is ninth on the ballot in the republican column for Municipal Court Judge. Alderman Lyle always votes right in the city council in the interest of all the people in this city as an honorable member of the Finance Committee of the City Council. He greatly assisted to bring about the final settlement of the "race riot" cases and he will make an ideal judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago. G There are some good and sufficient reasons why the loud mouth fellow should be given advice on things general covering a wide area of life. They do not like to be given counsel, and they do not relish taking it from one of their own kind, although it may be given by our most capable men and women. Let alone it appears that the average man or woman would gravitate to the lower levels of the social scheme of a careless indifference about things. This is why we are called to church every Sunday to hear God's preached word and to meditate on our misdeeds, and contribute financially and morally to religious worship that it may be perpetuated for the spread of God's truth in the hearts of us poor mortals. Becoming seared and reckless, all absorbed in selfish interests many lose cast with the spirit of personal betterment, or even the average commonplace regard for human decency. Rough and uncouth in the busy vicissitude of "getting his'n" he becomes crude and mean, lax to tolerance of any good, ill-tuned to self respect, and discordant to the well being of others he gradually unfits himself for the tenderness, and kindness of humanity without which everything You meet one of this kind, and he is so wrap up in his low life doings that the greatest philosophers enshrined with the wisdom of truth appears like a fool to this dunghill bird all messed up with his human importance. He cannot be told a thing. He knows so much about the evil ways of the world, and so little of what is righteous that he will tell you right off the reel that "everybody is alike and there is no difference in the bad and those who go to church to worship God." From the great mass of human wreckage so noticeable everywhere only a God could bring redemption, but these impudent elements of sacrilege in the worst human forms, steeped in their iniquity, all crusted over with vice and loathsome social disease and wickedness want to be let alone that they may hastily be hurried off of the stage of action be numbed to holy touches and gracious feelings of human respectability. The race is struggling to rise. Weighted down with woes and vanities common to all races, it must pull this great load of sin and degeneracy with it as it trudges along forward but so slow, with this huge dead body of inebecility, inconsequential wreckage of dismantled humanity. Almost out of touch in the friendly relations of decency we appear almost as a divided race, part of us trying to ascend the hill of noble destiny, while the other brainless increment are using all of their wicked might to pull the aggressive and progressive forces downward.

MUELLER The Most Popular German-American Republican Cook County Who Will Be Re-Elected One of the Sanitary District of Chicago on Tuesday 7. Both Men and Women Can Vote for Him. The Most Popular German-American Republican in This City or Cook County Who Will Be Re-Elected One of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago on Tuesday, November 7. Both Men and Women Can Vote for Him. Hon. Matt. A. 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. For some years he worked for the Joncs and Stiles Packing Co., the Boyd and Lunham Packing Co., and Swift and Co., until 1902. At that time he was appointed Real Estate Deputy, in the Board of Review, serving in that capacity until April 1, 1909. Then he plumbed 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. HON. ANTON J. CRATIC CANDIDENT OF THE COUNTY COM HON. ANTON J. CERMAK, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Hon. Anton J. Cermak, Democratic candidate for President of the Board of County Commissioners, and for County Commissioner, has been in the public eye for many years. He is a high or prominent Mason and he is a highly honored member of many other secret societies. In the past he has ably served as State Senator, Alderman of the old 12th Ward, and at the present time he is still representing that ward in the City Council. He was elected Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago in 1914, and honorably served the city in that capacity until December 1, 1918. While serving as Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court, he selected E. Franklin Morrow as one of his Deputy Bailiffs. Mr. Morrow belonged to the colored race, and about the middle of January, 1917, he passed away and his earthly remains were laid to rest in Mt. Forest Cemetery and Mr. Isaac Doff, First Assistant Chief Bailiff, had charge of his funeral and six white deputy Bailiffs served as pallbearers. Mr. Cer- --- MORRISON Saturday, October 28 1927 American Republican in This City or Re-Elected One of the Trustees Chicago on Tuesday, November can Vote for Him. Being undaunted, he was still a strong factor and a prominent leader of the Republican party on the south-west 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. Ashland avenue. At the present time Mr. Mueller, is president of the Greene-Mueller Coal Company. Mr. and Mrs. Mueller are the proud and happy parents of two bright and lovely children. He is one of the highest Masons in this country, being connected with all the high Masonic bodies in Chicago. He is also an honored member of the Modern Woodmen, National Union and the Platdeutschen Gilden, of which he has been Grand Treasurer for years. Mr. Mueller like his warm friend Hon. James H. Lawley, has always been true blue in his friendship for decent and worthy colored people and every colored person residing in this city and county will record their votes in favor of their re-election Tuesday, November 7th. CERMAK, DEMOATE FOR PRESIE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS mak sent a very expensive floral offering and requested his wife, Mrs. Morrow, to call on him if she needed any money or any help in any way, at the same time stating that her late husband was one of his best Bailiffs and that he had always conducted himself in such a manner that during the four years that he was connected with his office he had won the high respect of all of his white associates. All of the above simply shows that Mr. Cermak must be classed as one of the true friends of the colored race, and that his big heart knows no race nor color of any one's skin when they are in trouble or when the hand of death is laid upon them. Col. James Miller succeeded Mr. Morrow as deputy bailiff and served as such until Mr. Cermak served out his term as Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago. It is needless to state that many colored voters in this city and county will greatly assist Alderman Cermak to march on to victory on Tuesday, November 7. M. HON. SAMUEL A.

SAMUEL A. ETTELSON AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL LAST FRIDAY EVENING IN HONOR OF THE HOME COMING OF HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN, AND THE PRESENTATION OF A BEAUTIFUL SILVER LOVING CUP TO THE CONGRESSMAN. We gather here this evening to perform an act of appreciation, an act of friendship, an act of gratitude. We are paying homage to one who richly deserves tribute. It is fitting that this ceremony should be under the auspices of the Appomattox Club. When we hear the hallowed name of Appomattox, we immediately see two men who led great hosts in mighty battle. We see the smoke clear away, cannons mute, and the chains fall from the limbs of the enslaved and oppressed. We hear the principle proclaimed that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." We see a nation reborn. Appomattox means a new nation, a new race, a new freedom. An organization bearing that name has a responsibility and you have hone it honorably and well. It is fitting that we are met this evening in this beautiful school named after a great American, Wendell Phillips, a fearless champion of human rights who aroused public opinion so deeply that Appomattox was made possible. The man we honor tonight has learned to live and love the lessons of Appomattox. Like Wendell Phillips, endowed with a great mind and heart, his soul is stirred with a love of humanity and a high resolve to do and die, if need be, for strict equality and justice for all alike. What a satisfaction it must be to our honored guest as he sits here and reviews in his mind the life he has spent so well. He sees once again the days of his struggling boyhood. In his humble surroundings he works and studies and plans and dreams. Slowly his dreams begin to come true. Step by step he marches along the rocky road of progress to find himself ultimately entrusted with positions of financial prominence and power. Believing that politics is the business of serving the people, the highest vocation known to man, he takes his place in the arena of public life. For eighteen years he has served this great congressional district in the Congress of the United States. He now holds the position of Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, the Richard E. Moore, one of Chicago's most prominent figures, was stricter in East St. Louis last week while attending the Grand session of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Illinois and Jurisdiction, and died on Oct. 17th, at 9:45 p.m. He was a very active member of Bethel A. M. E. Church and devoted much of his time to ecclesiical reform. He is also one of the widest known Masons of the state having belonged to most of the branches of that fraternity as follows: Past Master of Hiram Lodge No. 14 F. & A. M.; member St. Marks Chapter, No. 1 R. A. M.; Past Eminent Commander of St. George Commandery No. 4, Knights Templar, Past Patron of Talma Chapter No. 2 O. E. S.; Past Joshua of —— Court No. —, H. of J.; member Arabic Temple No. 44, A. E. A. O. N. M. S.; member Union Guild No. 4, Heroines of the Templars Crusades, member Arabic Court No. 21, Daughters of Isis, Chicago Assembly No. 4, Order of the Golden Circle; Western Consistory N. 28, A. A. S. R. M.; Grand Pruiton of Eureka Grand Pruiton, O. E. S. of Ill.; Past Grand Johna of —— Grand Court, H. or J. of Illinois; Past Right Worshipful Secretary of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Illinois; and Jurisdiction; Past Right Eminent Grand Commander of Prince Hall Grand Commander of Illinois; Jurisdiction of Knights Templar; Past Deputy Imperial Potentate of the A. E. A. O. N. M. S.; Active member of the Supreme Council No. 330, A. A. S. R. 33rd degree Masons; Past Pursuit Lieutenant Commander, United Supreme Council of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of U. S. A. A. S. R. M.; Past Illustrious Deputy of the Valley of Ill., A. A. S. R. M. From the above it can readily be understood that Mr. Moore has been very active in every branch with which he was connected, and true to the obligation of Brother Masons in every branch, and also true to the Sisterly love and devotion of the Sisters of the Eastern Star. A midnight Masonic funeral was arranged on Saturday night, Oct. 21, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 310 and Dearborn streets, under the direction of J. D. Reynolds, Commander in Chief of Western Consistory No. 28. As early as 9:30 'clock the church was crowded, and eyes were widely opened and necks THE BROAD AX most important committee in the national House of Representatives, a committee whose work is stupendous in its far-reaching importance to our people. As chairman of that committee his place is one of prestige and influence, second only to that of the President of the United States. As chairman of that committee he has fought for and achieved a much needed reduction in taxes. He is continuing that fight with all his strength. Upon the floor of the House and in committee he has believed and valiantly and eloquently advocated with Daniel O'Connell that "Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong." He has fought against reaction, fearlessly exposing the plunderers and oppressors of the people and protecting the poor and the unfortunate. Now he is back with us this evening in the company of his constituents and his friends. To have the admiration and love of friends innumerable, to have the crowning glory of a wonderful family, a charming wife, loving children and grandchildren, these after all are the most precious things in this life. Honored guest, we applaud you tonight for your statesmanship. You have been a faithful law maker and guide. Time and again your fine oratory has been heard in the interest of the nation's rich.coussause. We greet you tonight as a leader of men who has served his party best by serving his country best. We greet you as a friend and neighbor. You are younger today in heart and mind and spirit than ever before. Ahead of you are many, many years of increasing usefulness and distinction. This token of esteem which we present to you will, we hope, be a constant reminder of our affection and of our appreciation of long and valued service to this district, to this state, and to our beloved country. We trust that the memory of this occasion will ever bloom afresh to sustain in you the courage, the vision, the character which have placed among the bright names in the galaxy of America's great leaders the name and fame of the Honorable Martin B. Madden. were craned in the eager expectation of the arrival of the body. At 10:30 the body arrived, and as the many beautiful floral designs were carried into the church, the Daughters of Isis, who were to be the first to perform their ceremonies, began to take their places so as to be ready when called upon. As the ceremonies began, silence fell upon the threshold. The sisters of Isis crept silently about enveloping the body and each lady going through her part with all the correctness, dignity and solemnity attributed to the order with which they are connected. After performing their respective duties with perfection, and as the song, "We Shall Meet Him Face to Face" rang out from a clear, keen voice, the Daughters of Isis quietly took their seats. And Darkness Was Upon the Face of the Deep The Consistory was next; all the lights were extinguished and the church was in total darness except for the candles carried in the hands of each brother as they also marched silently around the body. Everything was quiet as everyone seemed to be anxiously awaiting the clear and eloquent words soon spoken by Commander in Chief J. D. Reynolds, after which each brother took up his part in rotation causing the ceremonies to be beautifully conducted, and at 12 o'clock the congregation was on its way home to prepare for the general services to beeh eld Sunday at 2 P. M. Sunday Services at Bethel Mr. Moore, for years a member and efficient worker of Bethel A. M. E. Church, was loved and honored by all those he became affiliated with, and his sudden death was a great shock to his many, many friends, and this fact was doubly verified by the large attendance at the funeral services Sunday afternoon. The church was over crowded and threw as a like attendance on the outside. Dr. Tanner, pastor of Bethel, spoke in very solemn tones, touching upon the merits of the deceased, eulogizing his profound devotion to the dictates of the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe, and also vindicating his character as a man who has pondered well his words and actions here on earth and perfected himself so that when crossing the cold, chilly stream of death, and his body shall be resting in the narrow confines of the grave, his soul shall be enjoying the blessings which God has prepared for all the faithful when the foundation of the earth was laid. He also deliberated in eloquence of the course one should pursue in his wild and chaotic world in order to attain that Supermound Kingdom in the end. His sermon was deep and touching and was delivered in eloquence and with the solemnity and dignity attributed to the devine office he holds. True, too, to their oaths and obligations, were the brethren of the many branches of the Masonic Fraternity to which Brother Moore belonged, who in sad condenation assembled to pay their last respects to their beloved brother, always remembering these words: "Not he alone who walks the busy thoroughfare of life; with fearless eye and never faltering step is noble; but he who, struggling with sin's passion seated in his inner being deep, conquors the raging fires and truly though with faltering step pursues his way; he, I say, is worthy of a noble praise, a knighthood of the royal kind, I wish you then God speed."

He was first elected to the Upper House in 1914 and re-elected in 1918, and he always votes right on all questions or propositions affecting the interest of all the people within the confines of the grand old state of Illinois. Senator Hughes and his good wife Mrs. Hughes reside in a lovely home at 3339 Fulton street. He is to the manner born receiving his common and high school education in the public schools of this wonderful city; later on he graduated with honors from the Lincoln College of Law. The Legislative O'Ters League has always loudly sounded the praise of Senator Hughes in one of its latest reports on the senatorial candidate seeking election or re-election to the state senate has this to say in favor of Senator Hughes that he is finishing his second term as senator. That he has made a far better record than any representative of his district for many years; active and always alert to legislative affairs." In the past Senator Hughes has honorably served on all of the most important committees of the state senate; he has been very active in securing increased appropriations for all the institutions for state dependents. Senator Hughes, who always conducts himself like a highly polished first class gentleman, has many warm friends among the best class of colored people residing in his senatorial district and on Tuesday, November 7, they will greatly assist to re-elect him to the State Senate of Illinois. M. HON. JAMES M. DAILEY active part in all civic affairs and has at all times shown a broad minded, tolerant spirit as to religion and race and from present indications his election as sheriff of Cook County on November 7th is positively assured. Mr. Dailey declares that he will only seek and hold one office at one time.—Adv. M. B. P. Re-elect him on his "record of service" for he is by far the best and the most popular County Clerk that Cook County has ever had; he will be re-elected to his present honored position on Tuesday, November 7, with both hands down. Both men and women can vote for him. Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, the highly honorable and the most proficient County Clerk that Cook county has ever had, who will be re-elected for the third time to his present responsible position on Tuesday, November 7, is a native of this great and wonderful city, first seeing the light of day on May 10, 1868. His parents were John Martin and Mrs. Sarah (Lanning) Sweitzer, who were among the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Chicago Club and of several other clubs and in 1904 Mr. Sweitzer was happily united in marriage to Miss Alice Kevil. They are the proud parents of three children two daughters and one son, RoberT M, Jr., and reside at 2958 W. Jackson Boulevard, in the old 13th ward. For many years Mr. Sweitzer has been a power in the Democratic party of the west side and he has assisted to make and unmake city, county and state officials. Even assisting to make Presidents of the United States for as one of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco, Cal., in 1920 he led off in the fight to prevent the re-nomination of President Woodrow Wilson, and any of his henchmen from walking away with the crown of glory. For a long time he was a member of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois. He was a delegate at large to the Baltimore convention in 1912 and assisted the late Roger C. Sullivan to swing the forty-eight delegates in that convention from this state from the late Champ Clark to Hon. Woodrow Wilson, thereby securing his nomination to the presidency of the United States. The doors on Mr. Sweitzer's inner office always swing both ways, and they stand wide open during business hours and the humblest citizens, both Black and White, experience a trouble in approaching him in order to state or transact their business with him. There is one thing which can be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Sweitzer, namely, that he is absolutely free from race prejudice and in October, 1914, he made the speech of his life at the laying of the corner stone of the New Eighth Regiment Armory, where he freely mingled with the Colored people. Shortly after that event he presented Col. Franklin A. Denison with a fine and very expensive mahogany writing desk which still remains in the rooms of the Eighth Regiment Armory. There is not the slightest question about the re-election of Mr. Sweitzer for clerk of Cook county. 1 1 The honest and painstaking Clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County. He is highly deserving of re-election, for it will mean lower rents and lower taxes. Both men and women can vote for him on Tuesday, November 7. F Hon. John F. Devine, Republican candidate for re-election for Clerk of the Probate Court of Cook county has already saved the taxpayers $139,865.00. which is the most unique record ever made in this county by any public official during the first three years of his present term as Clerk of the Probate Court, he made a profit of $139,865.00 for the taxpayers of this county over and above all expenses. The operation of the usual public office in Cook County generally means a heavy charge upon the taxpayers. In these days of increasing taxes, the voters can appreciate a public official who makes a large profit over and above the expenses of his office. The profit so made helps to make up in part the deficit in other offices and thereby decreases in part the tax burden and ultimately the rent burden of every voter in Cook County. This profit was made by Mr. Devine by doing the largest amount of work ever done in the office with the smallest proportionate amount of help. He effected economies without decreasing efficiency. He increased efficiency without increase of cost. His every move was one of a real business man in charge of a business office. On the other hand he did not forget that his office is one in which widows and orphans are most vitally interested. He devised new safeguards to protect them against dishonesty or looting of estates. His heart is as big as his brain. A vote on November 7, for him whose name appears on the ballot as the Republican candidate for the Clerk of the Probate Court, means an assurance and appreciation of efficiency and economy in public office. He solicits your support on his past record. Originality. Where lies the difficulty of creating that taste by which a truly original poet is to be relished? Is it in breaking the bonds of custom, in overcoming the prejudices of false refinement, and displacing the aversions of inexperienced-Wordsworth. All women are concerned regarding the length of skirts. The midges of the women of America are no less vague on this subject than those of their Parisian sisters. In France, there is just as much uncertainty as to which length will prevail. While many extremely long skirts are worn, there are indications that before another spring has passed fairly short skirts will appear again; not so short, however, as the blissar models of last year, but shorter than some of the swathing models worn now. The present vogue of the long skirt may be laid to a revolt against the fapparism which fairly swept the country last fall. It was a decidedly unpopular fashion as far as the more mature woman was concerned. It is curious, but in no country save this is so great a premium put upon youth. On the continent the older woman is always the cynosure and when fappar styles became dominant there they were quickly revolted against and finally changed. Not that they were unattractive, but because they were worn too well by the sub-deb. DECORATES THE WHITE SCARF Bright Embroidery is Employed With Miraculous Effect—Hat to Complete the Outfit. All of the Czechoslovakian embroideries and those from Russia and all of the colorful countries are being applied to white scarfs with a most miraculous effect. The scarfs themselves are made of the loosest of handwoven homespun done in either thin woolen or thick silken threads. Then on their ends for a space of about ten inches there is arranged a solid mass of embroidery taken from the peasant art of one of these countries. The embroideries are about as inspiring as anything you can think of. They fairly scream a joyfulness of life, and when they are imposed on the pure whiteness of the homespun background they are particularly attractive for the purposes of the modern girl and her activities in sports. Sometimes there are hats embroidered to go with these scarfs that fling about the throat and again they are worn by themselves, but when they are added to a pure white costume, either with or without a hat, they add enough distinction to make that suit look as though it were chosen to go among those preferred by the gods. For Evening Gowns Broached materials of all kinds are to make evening affairs gorgeous this winter. Satins and velvets are being shown today in richer brocades than ever before and in more daring combinations of colors. One piece of satin, for example, is in deep apricot brocaded with vivid green. But of all the new materials, brocaded crepe is the loveliest and most pliable. **Applique is Solution.** Applique is a universal solution when it comes to fitting up children, from their play-rooms to their play compers. It can be used for curtains, mats, bibs and aprons, counter-ones, hoods, and even the eyes of air take-to-bed bunnies. LATE DRESSES ARE LONGER Tightly Draped Models Are Worn on the Street by Well Dressed Women. The warm weather has brought numerous interesting costumes. The most striking feature of the new dresses is their increased length, which is becoming more the vogue delly. The semi-long skirt appears to be less favored and is certainly less graceful than the one coming to the break of the ankle. It has been noticed that tightly draped models are worn on the street by well dressed women. The lines are long and straight the gown drawn to the side, but not supplemented by much fullness on the hips to interfere with the slender line. Crepe materials predominate now, but the satin surfaces will appear soon, it is thought. The fact that draped gowns are not good for figures that are rather stout is obvious after seeing some of the heavier figures tightly costumed along these lines. Black chiffon, in a many tiered petal made, made a cool looking frock on the street in the afternoon. Another gown was all in periwinkle shade, made of canton crepe with sternes and side panels of the same color of chiffon. A hat carried out the complete effect of the shade. One frock appropriate for street wear showed a triple fine white stripes on a background of navy, the stripes running up and down. Panels of self material were the only trimming, and the hat was of crepe, also in dark blue and white. "Do not mute 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, no effect not possible. It fussiness is evident. Uncle Eben.
