The Broad Ax

Many Colored People in All Parts of the United States Voted in Favor of Turning the Republican Party Out of Power At the Late Election. The Majority of the Congressmen, Including Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, Who Voted Against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and Many of the United States Senators Who Were Lukewarm in Its Support Were Defeated in Their Race for Re-election. TWENTY-SIX OUT OF THE THIRTY- TWO CANDIDATES WHICH THIS PAPER LOYALLY SUPPORTED AT THE LATE ELECTION, BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, WON OUT WITH FLYING COLORS. NO OTHER NEWSPAPER IN CHICAGO CAN SURPASS THAT RECORD. HON. ANTON J. CERMAK, HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER, HON. PATRICK J. CARR, HON. JOHN F. DEVINE AND HON. EMMETT WHEALAN, RECEIVED HEAVY VOTES AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE IN EVERY SECTION OF THIS CITY AND COOK COUNTY. HON. BENJAMIN M. MITCHELL SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF THE BROAD AX FOR THE GREAT ASSISTANCE WHICH IT RENDERED HIM IN HIS SUCCESSFUL RACE FOR THE LEGISLATURE FROM THE TWENTY-FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. The same fate befell many of the United States Senators. Congressman R. Wayne Parker, Republican of New Jersey, who felt dead sure that he could be re-elected without the colored voters, was defeated, and Dr. Caleb R. Layton, Republican Congressman at Large from Delaware, went down to defeat for the part he played in speaking and voting against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and the colored people residing in that state covered themselves over with honor and glory by turning him down cold. Miss Robertson of Oklahoma seemingly experienced much pleasure in voting and working against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on election day, Tuesday, November 7, the colored? people residing in her state held her out声 and cold, and after the fourth day of March, 1923, Congressman Robertson can retain at home and keep her house spiked and clean. In New Jersey the colored voters greatly assisted to elect Governor Edward I. Edwards, Democrat, to the United States Senate. It is estimated THE BROAD AX that-75 per cent of the colored voters residing in New York City and throughout the state of New York voted for Hon. Alfred E. Smith, Democrat, for Governor of the Empire state, and they also assisted to elect to the United States Senate former Governor Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana, Democrat. In Cincinnati, Ohio, and in other parts of that State thousands of colored people defeated the Republican party and voted with the Democrats. That was true in many other parts of the United States. It is safe to state that the colored people asserted their political independence to a far greater extent than they have at any other time in the history of this country. As one of the leading colored Republicans of Ohio has stated: "The Republicans defeated the Beatty Bill in the State Legislature of Ohio; they also defeated the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was defeated by the Republican senators we voted them in and they voted as out. Shall we continue voting our Republican enemies into positions and when we need a friend they cannot be found? Here in this city and especially in the Second Ward, where the self-respecting property owning colored people are fast getting sick and tired of permitting one or two colored men to loudly boast that they tote all the votes of the colored people residing in that Ward around in their hip pockets. Thousands of them voted for some of the Democratic candidates, namely, Hon. P. J. Carr, Hon Anton J. Cermak, Hon. Emmette Whealan, Hon Robert M. Swietzer, Hon. Daniel Ryan Hon. John F. Devine, and so on, in many of the other sections of 1 Republican Candidate for the Nomination and Election to the City Council from the New Third Ward. He Has Been Highly Endorsed by the Republican Organization of That Ward. this city thousands of the colored people either voted for some of the Democratic candidates or remained at home and refused to vote at all. The following letter speaks for itself and it simply proves that the colored people in all parts of this city voted to suit themselves at the late election. HON. ROBERT R. JACKSON candidate for the Nomination and L ecil from the New Third Ward. adored by the Republican Organi the humblest of our citizens in all civic matters, where occasion demands the aid of a city alderman; and voted to his official and private duties as an exemplary and honorable citizen and to the uplift of suffering humanity wherever by his untiring energy he can assist those in need of his services; and WHEREAS, we believe it to be for the best interest of all the residents of the Third Ward that he be re-elected as alderman from this ward; Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Third Ward Republican organization, now here assembled at a regular meeting, do hereby endorse Alderman Robert R. Jackson for renomination and election at the February primary in 1923 to succeed himself and we do at this time pledge our unqualified support by all honorable means to insure his renomination and election. Hampton, Va.—That North Carolina citizens, both white and colored, have succeeded in finding a way to keep together by working together for a common, worthy cause—the care and nurture of God-given children—was the opinion expressed by Dr. Wallace Buttrick of New York, president of the General Educational Board, at the recent two-day conference on North Carolina's Program of Negro Education, which was held in Raleigh, N.C., under the auspices of the Division of Negro Education (N. C. Newbold, director) in the State Department of Public Instruction (Dr. E. C. Brooks, superintendent). Progress Through Confidence Doctor Brooks, who came into office in January, 1919, outlined the progress which North Carolina has made in Negro education during four years. Early in his administration, at an educational conference, representative Negroes issued their "Declaration of Principles." In this document they made a vigorous appeal for cooperation, mutual confidence, and racial integrity. They spoke against the appeal to force which encourages mob law. This declaration restored mutual confidence and made it possible for white and colored citizens to go forward in education. "This declaration," said Doctor Brooks, brought co-operation, peace and harmony. The repudiation of appeal to force captured the hearts and minds of the best people in North Carolina. Of course there are still injustices and defects. To go forward, however, we must have standards by which we can measure our progress. Today Negroes in North Carolina are confident men and women. It is the duty of the state to back up the confidence of these people. North Carolina has confidence in its colored people." Signs of Educational Progress Director Newbold declared that North Carolina has kept faith with the colored people and "made good" in its state educational program, involving $935,000 for Negro schools, in its local educational program, involving $1,525,000, and in its Negro public-school teachers' salary program, involving $1,500,000. Some of the important outlays in North Carolina's Negro educational program, carried out during the past year, follow: (1) Construction of two dormitories at the Slater Normal school, and a combination building to be used as a gymnasium and auditorium, together with industrial classes—cost $134,000. (2) At Elizabeth City Normal school an administration building—cost, with equipment, about $125,000—nearing completion; also a principal's home, a three-teacher practice school, together with heating, water and sewerage system, costing $40,000—total spent at this school, about $170,000. (3) At Fayetteville Normal school an administration and classroom building, a dormitory for girls containing seventy-one rooms, and a water-sewer- age system—all nearing completion— cost $166,000' "The. small balance of only a little more than $11,000 on the $500,000 state appropriation for the three colored normal schools will be used within the next sixty days," said Director Newbold. "The. General Educational Board has appropriated $125,000, which will be used in equipping these three normal schools. All the state's appropriation will be used for construction. These three schools are using annually the maintenance fund provided; namely, $75,000." (4) New building being constructed at the Agricultural and Technical college, Greensboro, cost $115,000. (5) Hospital building for tubercular Negroes, now building, cost $100,000. (6) Division of Negro Education, with eight workers, is now a component part of the State Department of Public Instruction—cost $15,000. (1) Teacher-training organized in nine private schools—cost $15,000. (8) Teacher-training in summer schools and for high-school and vocational education—cost $50,000. (9) Eighty-one "Rosenwald schools"—total cost $330,387. Need of Closer Co-operation Director Newbold emphasized "two distinct facts: (1) that the program of North Carolina for Negro education, as far as it is initiated by the State government and is carried forward by state authority, is functioning in a fairly satisfactory manner; (2) that many local communities have not been aroused to do their duty in giving Negro children public-school facilities." HON. DANIEL RYAN Re-Elected One of the Commissioners of Cook County Entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago III. Under Act of March 8, 1879. NEGRO EDUCATION MAKES PROGRESS IN NORTH CAROLINA Concluded from Page 1 dates for the junior class in a four-year college course? (5) Will the organizations which own and operate the private Negro colleges be interested in bringing them up to a standard that will entitle them to an accredited rating without question? (6) Would it be wise to agree upon a common nomenclature by which the same grade of work in public or private institutions would be known by the same name? Pneumonia, like consumption, is a house disease; also it is a dirty air disease. This assertion is supported by both the morbidity and mortality figures which show unvaryingly year after year the seasonal rise and decline in the city's pneumonia death rate. These figures also serve to show that during the summer months, the open air season, pneumonia in both cases and deaths reaches its lowest ebb and that so soon as the shut-in season comes, these figures begin mounting steadily month by month until the open air season comes again. In connection with the number of deaths in Chicago due to this dirty air disease, it is of interest to note that last year there were reported to the Department of Health 8,336 cases with 2,164 deaths. So far this year, up to November 1, there have been 8,145 cases with 2,085 deaths. The figures for 1922 indicate that at the present rate of increase since September the total cases and deaths for this year will exceed last year's figures. Motson Photo HON. EDWARD J. GLACKIN Re-Elected to the State Senate from the 17th Senate of Illinois Re-Elected to the State Senate from the 17th Senatorial District of Illinois As is known, pneumonia is a deadly disease. It kills its victims in short order. And because this is true and because enough is now known about it to enable people to avoid it, it should command the thoughtful attention of everyone. Pneumonia is caused by a germ which is conveyed from one to another. The patient or well persons with the germs in the mouth, throat or nose by careless coughing, sneezing and spitting can scatter the germs in the air for others to breathe; or on things where they can mingle with the dust which may be stirred up float in the air and be taken into the respiratory passages and in that way reach the lungs. It is known that extremes of temperature, either cold or hot, together with dampness, have a lowering effect upon the resistance of the individual to pneumonia infection. In overheated and poorly ventilated living places and work places are found the conditions which seem to be favorable for the spread of the disease. Overheated air is always lacking in moisture and breathing it dries the mucous membranes of the air passages, thus causing the condition which invites not only pneumonia, but other respiratory ailments. Here are some seasonable suggestions which, if followed, will help you to escape pneumonia: 1. Be regular in your habits of living as to diet and proper rest. 2. Avoid undue and prolonged exposure to wet and cold. 3. Get as much exercise in the open air as you can. 4. Dress so that you will feel comfortable in the house and equally as comfortable when out of doors in a lower temperature. 5. Keep your living rooms at a temperature not exceeding 70 degrees. For people in normal health and prop- --- erly clad, 68 degrees is better. 6. Keep your feet dry and warm. 7. Do not cough or sneeze in anyone's face or allow others to cough or sneeze openly in your immediate presence. 8. Finally, remember that pneumonia is highly contagious and that there are persons who are carriers and that when they sneeze or cough openly in the air close to you, you are in danger of becoming infected. By observing these suggestions you can greatly lessen your chances of "catching" pneumonia and be more likely to get through the winter without needing the services of the undertaker. In most cases pneumonia comes to those who do not take proper care of themselves; and those who have it, pass it on to others. FEDERAL CHILDREN'S BUREAU UNDERTAKES RECREA TION SERVICE The inauguration of special service in the field of recreation is announced by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, with the appointment to its permanent staff of Martha Travilla Speakman recreation expert. Miss Speakman was in charge of the organization of play in the schools of Porto Rico during the "Children's Year" campaign recently concluded by the Children's Bureau. She conducted classes in various cities throughout the island to teach the school teachers games and instruct them in play direction. Regular courses were conducted in San Juan and Santurce and at the various teachers' institutes part of each program was devoted to recreational work. The methods of teaching games were demonstrated with local groups of children. In addition to her work in Porto Rico, Miss Spekman has served as head of I'Esperance, a home for French war orphans, and participated in the Friends' Relief Work in France and Austria. She directed and organized recreational centers, playgrounds, and summer camps in various parts of the United States after completing her training in Swarthmore College and the recreation department of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. TION HARDING ON HIS MESAGE TO EXTRA SESSION Boston, Mass.—As a result of the personal audience with President Harding and what he said as to the nature of his call for the extra session which he issued today, the Nation Equal Rights League urges the race everywhere to write the president to recommend to congress immediate consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the senate in his spoken or written message to the extra session. This the league did today, Armistice Day.. The league delegation pressed this request before the audience at the White House was over, and give the benefit of their conference to the race by urging this new movement. The league recommends also that the race petition their United States senators to make the Dyer bill first business of the senate, ahead of the Liberian Loan Bill, and to be continuously considered till passed. This the league is doing. At the audience on Saturday in the White House the president expressed support of the Dyer bill and said he would aid its passage by the senate. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 Indirectly we have learned that the Chicago Tribune is having hits. We do not read the Tribune. We saw in the Defender where Mr. R. S. Abbott was trying to inform the public of his opinion of the same, and we read in another column where Col. Simmons was hot in the collar, and yet fearing to hurt the feelings of the little white race holding in subjection all of the cuss words in his vocabulary. The stench did not come directly into our nostrils. Had Hannibal triumphed over Scipio the dark races today would be the ruling people and English would not now be the leading language by which most of the civilized world makes its wants known. There would have been no Dutch trading vessel bringing black slaves to America. America no doubt, would still be the refuge for the low brow element driven out of England and continental Europe. Therefore The Chicago Tribune would never have become known. The Negro is not crossing any line except the Mason and Dixon line. The line crossing is always done by the white race. Who invented the first mullato? Let the Tribune answer that question. Whoever did it was nurturing a whirlwind from whose reaping the white race cannot escape. Which is better, marriage or adultery? Let the Tribune answer that question. Is it always the Negro who will live in adultery with the white woman? Or is it always the white man who will not marry the colored woman? If the Negro marries the white woman it is not because he went across the line to get her. It is because she came herself across the line. The conquering, money-making man filled to the brim with commercial activity becomes brusque, cold, and morose, has no fancies, delights only in the hard, stern rules of trade and barter and forgets how to love, to be affectionate, starves out the human nature of his soul, and to his women folks is not genteel, kind, and considerate with them, and is neglectful in the exercises of those graces that gives to woman her little world to inhabit. When he is not sublime, he is most ridiculous. Take, for instance, the bright lights, the great white way, Broadway, the sporting night life, the orgy and the grand debauch, the districts where veiled women maraud the streets. The Negro possesses a kind, tractile, docile nature, respectful, obliging and inoffensive, friendly and cannot go enough out of his way to help you if he likes you. He dresses well, makes pleasant company, is yielding and can sympathize with women of any race, because the same brutal nature that repels the kindly and affectionate heart of women is also brutal in his overlord spirit toward the Negro man. Business, trade and commercial activity, and wanting to know all things, and prove all things, he has lost the vital spark of life, and love. The ammunition of his animal forces he cannot retrieve by further making himself a cave man, or a football star. There is as much in being too masculine as there is in being slightly effeminate. "Love is to man a thing apart, but it is woman's whole existence." She tires of the imperious overlord. His lack of prerequisite forces to gratify, satisfy, and make her happy in the way she determines, sickens her soul, makes him a loathsome creature when in her sight, and she finds the love of her quest, womanlike, in strange and unexpected quarters. Having manners goes a long way when a white man has none at all what chance has he with women. When a colored man shows all of those excellent qualities of both heart and mind what woman is it that could not admire him? Differences in color have but little bearing in the case Necessity, they say, becomes the mother of invention and so the careworn, lovelorn, heart sick girl, disappointed, seeing nothing before her but a butterfly existence, a doll, or an unloved creature, kills herself, drowns in the lake, or crosses over into the color line, marries, is happy in the freedom of her spirit and her will, the reward of her Leroism. The Negro is virtually a new man. Thousands of years of lasciviousness, harems, mormonism and the rest of it has indeed made the white man stale almost without any infinite variety. The Negro may have come down out of the tree since the white man, but he is in the, the Tribute, while suffering a thousand fits, lets loose one of its Southern editors to write fussy nonsense about what he thinks will happen to the Negro because he marries a white girl now and the Tribute is really mad at the Hearst daily papers because they have taken the journalistic field away from it, and chooses to make the Negro race the goat. Since when has the Tribute become so loving with us that it would move heaven and earth to keep us from destruction? What a miserable foundation of nonessential fundamentals a national newspaper would set up as a cardinal principal? It is not enough to humiliate the Negro at every opportunity, it seems best on curtailing privileges founded on the law of the land by bluff and bluster. What man or race wishes to be told that it must not do this or that wholly on the existence of prejudice? What, for instance, would the little editor of the Tribune like to be told not to do when, as a man, he has a perfect right to try to please himself? A man who will not grant to another man the rights he enjoys, and who would hold from another man the rights he has, no matter how inconsequential, does not deserve any rights at all. Let us name a few great men whose very existence came from crossing the color line: Alexander Dumas, the great Russian poet laureate Pushkin, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and a few big mulatto white people here in Chicago whose heritage belongs on both sides of the line. Sometimes we think that they who make the most noise about color are using the eraser themselves trying to wipe out traces of mixtures they are counscious of in themselves. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES The league regrets to announce that Mrs. Sayre, who has been connected with the employment department for about two years, is leaving. Mrs. Sayre, before coming to the league, was a volunteer war worker with the Red Cross. When the war closed she felt that there would be other work for a woman to do who had been making bandages and doing canteen service and other work of the Red Cross. She organized, therefore, the U. S. Club, a group of women with no effort or purpose to raise money for the purpose of their own organization, but merely to be of service in post-war needs. One of the first of these post-war needs to come to the attention of the U. S. Club was the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club. These ladies helped to raise money to establish this club, which later became the Community house at 3201 South Wabash avenue, and Mrs. Sayre began work at the Community House. The Urban League in the meantime had succeeded in introducing into Montgomery Ward & Company a number of colored girls to do clerical and stenographic work. A welfare worker was thought desirable at the branch where these girls were employed. Mrs. Sayre was recommended for that position and served there with great success. The officials of the company wrote a letter to the league in which they testified their appreciation of her services and their regret that the business depression forced them to close the unit in which Mrs. Sayre was working. From Montgomery Ward & Company she came to the Urban League and has worked in the employment department in the placement of women and girls until now. Mrs. Sayre goes to another big industrial establishment where her services are needed to care for the working conditions of about 350 colored women employees. The Urban League regrets her going, but feels complimented that when such a person was desired the Urban League had the privilege of furnishing her. Mrs. Sayre has the respect and affection of the members of the staff and the many friends she made while working with the league. Keith School Keith school has a real principal He is not only interested in accepting and managing the children who come to his school in such large numbers, some of them on half time be cause of lack of space, but in the kindergarten room, where he has empty benches, he is exerting himself to fill them. The Keith school is at 34th and Dearborn streets and has a kindergarten department with an enrollment of about 50 children. It is meeting only in the morning, but the kindergarten room might as well be used also in the afternoon and will be so used if the children come in sufficient numbers. Do you know a child five or six years old who lives in that district who ought to be in kindergarten? If so, get busy with the parents of that child; let them know that the principal wants the children in school; that school is a better place for them than the streets; that the sooner they get the school habit the better; so let's fill that kindergarten room both morning and afternoon. Do not tell anybody about it, but 25 or 30 musicians have been practic- ing together for three or four months. They have been studying some real music. They say they are going to give a concert soon. I wonder who they are? 398 HON. WILLIAM E. HELANDER Elected Judge of the Municipal Court of Chica Year Term). Elected Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago (New Six Year Term).

What does it mean fo @ man to have signed 12,000 diplomas plus? He is down through Texas telling our people to wake up, to open their eyes and see the day. He is telling them to get in thefimancial pool and swim a liflle, for the world has no time for beggars: or paupers. I think he is about right, for his name is Wright. He is making friends.

In" this comference there are three men that the Lord has called to be Bishops—Rev. G: B. "Young, a grad- Juate from Paul Quinn college; Rev. H. ‘A. Carr, from the same school, and the Rev. Dr. P, C.

He ihas your street and number, and knows where to put his hands on you any hour in the day. He can use the men who have already been called. He will have his hands full. I wonder if it is God's intention to put all the A.M. E. preachers in the bishopric? If this is done what will become -of the pulpits, for bishops don’t pastor; they have the highest ‘calling, but sonie of these good breth- rea should ask God to excuse them from being bishop and look to the Lord and dismiss this subject from their already filled breins. I am going to tell you in due time which will be which, and if some of them keep on fooling with God and not do His work hhe is going to send them right on to ithe hot house for a watming up. They will get warm, too, believe me. Rev. S. J. Johnson is on hand andj he is asking God to just let him be an | ordinary secretary of the department | ios ocey te caeseon a econ} on earth.

COA Telephone 5100 Federal Street A JACKET WITHOUT SLEEVES French Maker Devises Interesting Garment to Be Worn With Afternoon Dresses. Many of the most important dressmakers declaim any effort toward the sensational silhouette. To meet the demand for new styles they vary their characteristic lines by beautiful fabrics, stirring colors and trimming details. Chanel has made no basic changes in the styles which she exploits. Her dresses are straightline, many of them with beautiful embroideries. She uses laces profusely. Among her prettiest models are some frocks of flowered alks, the flowers scattered over a plain background in the form of large motifs. These silks are velled with lace, giving an extremely pleasing effect. Several of her afternoon dresses are accompanied by little steeveless jackets. Such models frequently carry Russian embroideries. The greatest change in the models made by Callot is in the colorings. There is a considerable showing of paler shades of blue and rose. She has given preference in these paler bues over the rich oriental shades which she used last season. She also used many silks in pumadour effects. Other than in color Callot has done orally nothing new in the way of Statement of Condition At Close of Business on Sept. 15th, 1922 RESOURCES Loan and Discounts ... $1,350,850.10 (Loan and Discounts provided by our Board of Directors) Bonds and Securities ... 704,824.01 Stocks ... 20,775.00 (Chicago State Safety Vaults On) Bank Building and Annex ... 156,974.82 Park and Fiction ... 24,624.30 Other Resources ... 10,188.87 Cash on Hand and Dues from Banks ... 664,420.87 Total ... $2,631,290.09 LIABILITIES Capital Stock ... $ 500,000.00 Senior Stock ... $ 20,000.00 Unsecured Profits ... 26,644.43 Reserved for Taxes and Interest ... 9,126.08 Other Liabilities ... 8,972.03 Deposits ... 2,684,988.07 Total ... $2,631,290.09 Increase in Deposits Since June 30, 1922 ($270,000.00) This Bank invites you to avail yourself of its complete facilities.
