The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, the Extremely Popular Postmaster of Chicago Has Become the Deneen-Brundage and Crowe, Primary Candidate for Mayor of This City; and There Will be a Hand to Hand Fight, Knocking Down and Dragging Out Between Him and Mayor William Hale Thompson, and As the Fur Will Fly in Every Direction It Is Mighty Hard to Tell at This Time, Which Way the Old Republican Political Cat Will Jump. HON. WILLIAM E. DEVER, ONE OF THE HONORABLE ASSOCIATE JUSTICES OF THE APPELLATE COURT OF COOK COUNTY, HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE UNITED DEMOCRACY TO MAKE THE RACE FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO, AND HIS LEGIONS OF WARM FRIENDS LOOK UPON HIM AS A REAL LIVE WINNER. HON. WILLIAM A. CUNNEA, WHO WAS REALLY ELECTED STATE'S ATTORNEY OF COOK COUNTY IN 1912 AND WAS FLIM FLAMMED SOME WAY OR OTHER OUT OF THE OFFICE, HAS BEEN UNITED UPON BY THE SOCIALIST AND LABOR PARTY TO MAKE THE RACE FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO. The political pot between the republicans and the old-time democrats has just started into boil in good shape and it will continue to boil and run over on the sides until after the primaries Tuesday, Feb. 27th, and the main election, the first part of April. For the past four or five weeks it seemed that all the big and the tinnhorn and the small fry politicians, both democratic and republican, were absolutely dead to the world, then at last they all kinder woke up and shook themselves together, as it were, and started in to spar for good positions on the political checkerboard and finally, after much cross-firing, the leading republican chiefs who are bitterly opposed to, Mayor William Hale Thompson—namely, Hons. Charles S. Deneen, Robert E. Crowe, Edward J. Brundage and Medill McCormick, and their other political associates—came to a flat showdown and united upon Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, the present popular postmaster of Chicago, to make the race at the primaries against Hon. William Hale Thompson for mayor of Chicago. Hon. Charles S. Deneen and Hon. Robert E. Crowe who largely owes his present political prominence to Mayor William Hale Thompson, and Brundage and their followers, will make a desperate effort to unhorse Mayor Thompson, and permit him to hang high and dry with his political feet dangling high up in the air, and his political opponents are figuring day and night how to land on him with some sharp up- per and lower cuts and knock him out for the count, and it is clearly evident that there will be a whole lot of political throat-cutting, knocking down and dragging out on the part of the very bitter republican factions between now and primary day and mighty hot times are ahead for the big bosses of the Grand Old Party in this city. For some years Mr. Lueder has been successfully engaged in the real estate business and many times in the past he has been highly honored by those who are engaged in that line of business. He has held the offices of secretary of the Chicago Real Estate board and secretary, director, and treasurer of the Cook County board. He also has been secretary of the secretaries' association of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. And he is a member of the Real Estate Association of Illinois and the National Association of Real Estate Boards. For many years he has had his own offices at 40 North Dearborn street. He also is a member of a large number of clubs and fraternal organizations. Among them are the Society of Santiago de Cuba, the Hamilton club, the Mystic Shrine, the German club, the Elks, the Oriental consistory, the Association of Commerce, the Modern Woodmen, the Chicago Turners, the Loyal Order of Moose, the Lincoln club, the National Union, the Royal League, the North American Union, and Chicago Historical society. In 1904 Mr. Lueder was happily united in marriage to Miss Martha R.

The family residence is at 3832 Rokeby street. There are two children—Roland G., 18 years old, and Ruth Helen, 13 years old. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, having served with the First Illinois regiment. As stated before, Mr. Lueder is very popular and Mayor Thompson will be forced to work early and late in order to put him out of the running for mayor of Chicago. HARVARD BARS THE COL- ORED MAN President Lowell Held Responsible When Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Jr., was refused admittance to Harvard last June because of the decision that all freshmen must live in the freshman dormitories and Negroes are not to be admitted to the freshman dormitories, a number of Harvard graduates, including Moorfield Storey, former private secretary to Charles Sumner, president of the Massachusetts Bar Association; Charles C. Burlingham, former president of the New York Board of Education; Edward Eyre Hunt, who was in charge of the American Relief Work in Antwerp and later during the war was secretary to the President's Conference on Unemployment, sent in a memorial which read in part as follows: MR. SANDY W. TRICE "So far as we can learn, the policy of exclusion is based on the fact that residence in Freshman Halls is now compulsory and the opinion that as men from the South and Southwest come to Harvard in considerable numbers they should not be compelled to room or eat with colored men. "We respectfully submit that these are not sufficient reasons for abandoning the long and honorable tradition of Harvard College." When Mr. Bruce learned that it was necessary to make reservation some time in advance in order to be sure of admission to Harvard, he applied to the registrar and President Lowell answered as follows: "Dear Mr. Bruce: Your letter to the registrar about your son has been given me. I am sorry to have to tell you that, in the Freshman Halls, where residence is compulsory, we have felt from the beginning the necessity of not including colored men. To the other dormitories and dining rooms they are admitted freely, but in the freshman halls I am sure you will understand why, from the beginning, we have not thought it possible to compel men of different races to reside together." Mr. Bruce, after a time, answered in a scathing letter in which he contrasted his opinion of Harvard with the fact of President Lowell's letter. Mr. Bruce's letter in part is as follows: "The policy of compulsory residence in Freshman Halls is costly indeed if it is the thing that constrains Harvard to enter open-eyed and brusque upon a policy of racial discrimination. "It is my deliberate opinion that some of these young men who, like my son, are after all Negroes by election, will nullify the policy of exclusion so far as they themselves are concerned, by simply not confessing themselves members of the proscribed group. Neither a mental nor a blood test will expose that helpful duplicity With respect to these individuals (and they outnumber popular estimates), may not the policy of exclusion have the curious effect of promoting that very amalgamation of races which the white North vies with (Continued on Page 2) MR. VIRGIL WILLIAMS PAID HIS OWN WAY ON HIS WEST ERN TRIP WITH ALD. LOUIS B. ANDERSON TWO YEARS AGO Some evil-minded person has started the report in the Second Ward to the effect that Mr. Virgil Williamus, Republican candidate for Alderman of that ward, that in 1921, at the time that he made the pleasure trip with Alderman Louis B. Anderson and the other city fathers all through the West, that Alderman Anderson paid his way, or his expenses, which is not true, for Mr. Williams paid his own way and spent a large bunch of money with those whom he came in contact with while going and coming on that memorable Western trip. BOOK CHAT, BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. With the new year we are all making resolutions and a resolution that I wish the readers of Book Chat would make, is to read more books. Newspapers and magazines are all very well in their way, for recording of transient happenings we could not do without them, but after all the challenge to thought comes chiefly with the leisure, deliberate turning over of the pages of a book. In a good light, settled back in a comfortable chair, we take our time mulling over the reasoning of the essayist or following the fate of the hero. There is no loneliness to one who knows the companionship of books. I have, for over a year now, pointed out the important books upon the Negro question and urged my readers to buy them, when they could. I like to think that the book shelves in many homes are growing in number and that publishers are learning that there is a purchasing Negro-public. But there are other means of getting at books than the buying of each one desired. There are book clubs and libraries. To take the public library first. It should be the business of the colored citizen of a town that has a free public library (a really free one) to see that new books on the Negro are bought for it. This, I think any one will find who has tried, is not usually difficult. First, you want to be a good borrower. I mean a steady borrower of books who does not let the volumes become overdue but returns them on time. Having established yourself as a responsible reader, you have only to call the attention of the librarian to the book you want to have her anxious to buy it for you. Librarians are only too glad to find intelligent borrowers. The stories the librarians can tell of unintelligent borrowers are legion; so when they find someone who reads book reviews, who knows of the latest volume on an important subject they want to oblige that person if they possibly can. Back of them is a Board that may prove parsimonious, but be sure the librarian counts as meat and PRAISES FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA The Soaring Eagle, published at Los Angeles, Cal, which has become the leading race publication on the Pacific Coast, has the following to say in connection with the Twenty-seventh Anniversary edition of The Broad Ax: "Our old-time visitor, The Broad Ax, Chicago, Ill, came to our desk resplendant in its glory, as a king-pin in journalism. The Christmas edition is a creditable achievement." drink the intelligent demand by the public for serious literature. The N. A. A. C. P. will shortly publish a list of the books that I have reviewed in Book Chat. By sending a two cent stamp, this list will be mailed to you. Why not take such a list into your public library, see what books the library has purchased and what are missing, and endeavor to have the missing books ordered? It would help you and the reading of the books would educate the public. The second method of getting books is through Books Lovers' Clubs. I imagine such clubs have existed ever since books were printed. Book Lovers pool their resources, and buying books, exchange them one with another. People are especially given to this who live in small places. Supposing this past year, you have lived where there was no public library, have wanted especially to read "Dark Water," "The Book of Negro Verse," "Birthright," "White and Black," "The Soul of John Brown," and "Harlem Shadows," and have had only two dollars in your pocket-book. The way to compass your desire is to get five other people, equally desirous of reading these volumes and equally imprecuous. Then let each buy a volume and your library is complete. It is a lending library, only one volume remaining with you at the last, but it has given you what you desired and has added to the education of six people. Incidentally it will lead to much good fellowship. No one should be invited into a Book Lovers' Club who does not value books, and who does not appreciate the sacredness of their ownership. To borrow a book and not to return it, this is one of the seven deadly sins and the most common of the seven! Keep such people out of a Book Lovers' Club—that is, if there are enough people left in the world to form a club with. Sir Walter Scott's old squib still holds true. On lending a book he said: "And please return it, for I find that while many of my friends are poor arithmeticians, they are nearly all of them good book-keepers." You have our sincerest thanks for the high compliment, Editor Bass.—Editor.

And to assess the relative values of the several stocks of mankind en masse is, one must concede, an exceedingly delicate and difficult, indeed perilous task.” It remains to be seen what President Lowell's answer to this charge will be. Unquestionably, the responsibility js onetty squarely upon his shoulders. President Lowell has responded tc the letter of Mr. Bruce's in part as iollows: “I am sorry that you do not fee the reasonableness of our position about the freshman dormitories. It is not a departure from the past to re fuse to compel white and colored mer to room in tig same building. We ‘owe to the colored man the same op portunities for education that we d to the white man, but we do not ow: to him to force him and the whit into social relations that are not o may not be mutually congenial.” Mr. Bruce, who lives at Kendal Va, is the son of Blanche Kels Bruce, former registrar of the Unite States Treasury. He was a member 0 the class of 1902, won membership it the Phi Beta Kappa and was choser class orator. The son is preparing to enter Harvard at Phillips Exete: academy. It seems to be up to Presiden Lowell to prove that he is not wor shiping at the feet of southern race prejudice. LITTLE SIGNS OF PROGRESS By Dr. M. A. Majors There are some signs that we are making steady progress. We gather at places in very large numbers to hear a recital. Music says Shakes- peare hath charms to soothe the savage breast. But on the chief essen- tials we also may be found in large numbers sometimes. Whenever a question arises that holds racial inter- est we will give a large attendance It is a bit unfortunate that the com- mercial call does not find us so great- ly enthused, .and yet there could no! possibly be an interest greater than commerce, a thing in which we are lacking. Funerals, weddings, parties dances follow the lead of church in- tereste, in this latter regard we: sur- pass all other races, but in the matter: of commercial activities we are the las race in the line of march which it such a great pity.

No matter what can be said to the contrary we are yet following the footsteps of the past shot to pieces ‘by manifestations of hypocrisy and deceit, pretending to carry on certain forms in which there is only emotion- alism which takes us no where. A bank, a large store, real estate, fife insurances with a sprinkling of little stores are evidences that speak very eloquently. the trend of our small ‘effort, We find making money and — = os to : eg j ay ae 3 a fe feoh=tcl== 5 HON. WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON The fighting Mayor of Chicago, who stands ready to wage a successful fight against his bitter political foes or enemies, and he confidentially feels that he already has them started ee ee investing it merely incidental to our effort when it should be the chief con- cern of all that live. Spending money carelessly for things we really do not need and with the other races makes them stronger to combat whatever we undertake in matters that tend to make for real progress. If wisdom is our lesson what else have angels learned and what feeble efforts have we made to learn this lesson? The dignity of the race is at stake when we depend upon the other races to supply our needs. The future of the race is at stake when we continue to make other races rich by paying back to them all that the race earns. The status of the race is placed upon a low level when we fail to build up a commercial foundation for our coming generation. We are making very feeble efforts to carry forward the very principle that has made all of the aces great. If we are looking for- ward to anything beyond just living to eat, to wear fine clothes, die, and go to heaven, we are leaving out of the ‘equation much of the very essential to a human salvation. We make a lot of bluster, rip and snort, and at nones- sentials we are humdingers. They are laughing at us everwhere because we are content to pour our money into the laps of luxury, posing as fashion plates, when we could very very well supply ‘our own needs along all lines. We have close within our grasp a million dollars worth of church prop- erty, and we do not own two dozen pieces of business property in Chicago. We are throwing away enough money annually on having a good time which tickles the other races to buy up three city blocks, but we are a hell of a race and we just must have a hell of a good time before we die and go to heaven or hell. Yet there are some signs that we are making progress slowly which means that two hundred years from now we will have advanced from a thoughtless people to thinkers and doers instead of a lot of preten- ders and hypocrites. ‘ Colored Women’s International Council In the current Southern Workman (published by Hampton Institute) Mrs. Booker T. Washington writes of the recent organization of an inter- national council of colored women whose purpose it is to study conditions of all women of the darfer races. Courses of study are already in opera- tion in certain communities. One group is studying the condition of women in Africa; another that of the women of India. A committee on education has planned a course o} study for the clubs, schools, and lead- fers in general. The heads of school: and colleges are being urged tc place in their curricula well-organizes courses of study on the darker péople: of the world along with the history of,other races, For one to appreciate himself he must know himself, anc certainly for another to appreciate him, there must be definite knowledge o! his attainments and aspirations. Pride in one’s self comes through racial con- sciousness. Alreddy Porto’ Rican wo- ‘men have begun to exchange ideas with Colored Americans, and there is correspondence between women in Liberia, South Africa, in the Philippine Islands, in Haiti, in Brazil, and in other countries. Another committee will direct a study of social conditions and political affairs, the object of the Council being to bring about justice and fair play for every woman in every land. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1925 “EDUCATION IS SELF-EDUCA- CATION” Dr. Wallace Buttrick, President of the General Educational Board, Pays Tribute to Dr. Hol- Ks B. Frissell By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va. — “You must light your own torch” was the injunction which was given many years ago by Dr. Daniel Coit Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins, when he gathered twenty of the most promising young men that he could find in the colleges and brought them together in Balti- more as a nucleus for a university teaching staff, according to Dr. Wal- lace Buttrick of New York, president of the General Education Board, who recently spoke at Hampton Institute on “Education as Self-Education” and paid tribute to the late Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton, with whom he had been engaged for many years in joint educational service. Doctor Buttrick referred in detail to the life-story of Michael Pupin, well-known professor of electrical en- gineering in Columbia University, which has been appearing serially in “Scribner's Magazine,” as illustrative of the truth that men must learn to use the opportunities which they have, if they wish to become edu- cated. Doctor Buttrick declared that, although he has reached the age of seventy, he has not begun to live in the past. He reads fifty worth-while books each year, although he has greatly impaired eyesight. Doctor Buttrick said: - “Every educated person in the world is seli-educated. You cannot edygate anybody but yourself. No- body can educate you. Teachers are not necessary; libraries are not neces- sary; laboratories and shops are not necessary, though very important, ad- junets, Education is the discipline of your own power by yourself, the ac- quiring of knowledge by and for your- self. “That only is true education which is never finished. The educated man and the educated woman is the man or the woman who is able to say on the 3lst day of December of any year, ‘I have learned more during these past 365 days than during any other 365 days of my life.’ “Ever learning, ever straggling to- ward the truth, ever struggling to- ward the best in character, ever fight- ing for the thing that is a little higher and a little better and a little more worth while—that is-what the educated person is doing. _ “Education is a life process, and, if there be a future life, its only attrac- tion to us should be that we may grow forever and be constantly fit- ting ourselves for higher intelligence and better service and deeper and truer appreciation of all that God has wrought and that God is.” | The Right Rev. Bishop B. T. Tan- ‘ner, who was one of the greatest divines connected with the A. M. E. Church, closed his eyes in death after a long and useful life, at his old home at Philadelphia, Pa., last Sunday, where his earthly remains were laid to rest. Bishop Tanner was for many years held in highest esteem by: all of the officials of his church, Aside from the members of his family, he has troops of friends to lament his death. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, AFTER LAY- ING UP IN PORT IN CHICAGO FOR THREE WEEKS WHILE UNDERGO. ING SOME IMPORTANT REPAIRS, IS HITTING THE SOUTHERN RAIL AGAIN.

I want to pay my respects to Dr. George Cleveland Hall, and to Dr.’ S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, Kan,, and to thank Mrs, Ivie L. Stew- art, my nurse, and her son, Charles Stewart, Jr., a block off of the old chip. It is wonderful how a boy can partake of the works of his father. ‘That is, he has many ways like his father and is a fine chap. But that is not my talk when T come before you with this letter. What have you done for the world? I am sorry that the last day I was in Chicago I did not get to come in ‘touch with the press gang at the city hall. Editor Taylor had arranged for ‘me to meet them, but J did not get there in time to see these pen push- ers—the mien who write the history of Chicago every day, the men who can look at you and tell you what you are thinking about, and who can express your thoughts better than ‘you can express them yourself, I am ‘sure that Editor Taylor thought if 1 could just get to see them I would get better information and be able to do more work and write better. He did not tell me so, but he made a broadcast hint, and I can take a hint. Some of these men were willing to enjoy baby sheep and lamb with me and all the other good things which are now mine. I came in touch with the thinkers of Chicago, walked and talked with them. Had the pleasure of going to the home of Rev. F. W. Penick, and coming in touch with him, and cating one big dinner at his home, and then got to meet others of his guests. He is superintendent of ‘missions for the Baptists in Chicago, ‘and a man of great parts. He is do- ing a great big work and is one more busy man, sf T find that they are getting ready to elect a mayor for Chicago, and I am told that there is going to be a heluva time when it comes off, and all classes of people are getting in one of the lines, and I will be on hand to tell you who wins. I visited Olivet Baptist church, at- tending a meeting of the secretaries of the various departments of the National Baptist convention and heard their discussions. They are getting ready to do some real work in the National Baptist church in the future. I am told that the presidents are going to visit that point, and I think it will be possible for me to return, before going to the church after the afternoon. President Wil- liams and Pastor Williams will make a tour in the interest of the conven- tion work soon, and you will hear from him. He is one of the highest paid pastors in this country, and he deserves all he gets. He works, and is not spending his time in idleness. It requires work to accomplish what he has accomplished, After visiting some friends and Dr. J. M. Trice, a young physician from ‘Texas, but now a citizen of Chicago, sent me a telephone to go down to ‘Maurice Rothschild’s and get me a hat, and his mother met me down town and went with me to the place.

But let me not get mixed up on that. Dr. George C. Hall presented me with a fine pres- ent, and Editor Taylor placed a five- Gols bill in my hand for a Christ- ‘mas present, and told me to come again. He wanted to come to where. T am willing to come again. One cake was sent me by Mrs, Emma Kennedy, grand royal matron of the Order of Eastern Star, and then I got my little self together, and made it over to the Englewood station, shaking the Chicago dust off my feet for a while, and pulled out for this place. Not for this place, but for In- dianapolis, where T spent Sunday, the guest of Rev, and Mrs. S. B. Butler of Indianapolis and pastor of: the Baptist church. He had an automo- bile car carriage at the stable to meet me and escort me to the place where I was to stop, which was his home. T wish you could have seen those young people greet me, and told me to be at home. Sunday morning found me at church, and there is where I had to break thé bread and tote the word. The people listened attentively, and when I was through they shook my black lily hand and said they enjoyed the sermon. I thanked them, for there was nothing else for me to say. In the afternoon, I spoke to men only, and at night I took hold of the pulpit of that Baptist church of which the Rev. Dr. Wes- brook is pastor, and then about 3 o'clock Monday morning Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce Uni- versity came for me to make the trip to this place, and he was very kind to do this. We were the guest of the Rev. Dr. Charles Sumner Williams, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and who is slated to be oné of the bishops of his church. It was a fine thing to come in touch with a big hearted man like him and who has worked from the ground up in his church, and would make a fine addi- tion to the Episcopal bench, and help to work out the plans for a grand, united front. He would make a good bishop on the bench, and I hope the A. M. E. church will see the- wisdom in electing this wise young man. In Louisville, I came to the home of Editor William H. Steward, of the American Baptist, and this paper has been on the warpath for a long time, fighting the battles of his churches, of his race, and of his God. He is indeed a remarkable man. I looked and looked at him putting brains on paper. He is the right man in the right pew. He is the oldest editor in service of the race today, and the American Baptist is next to the oldest paper, the oldest being the Christian Recorder. Just think of it, this paper has been published forty-four years and has not missed an issue! Good for that. The Louisville News has the following to say about it: THE AMERICAN BAPTIST Last week the American Baptist was forty-four years old. The age itself, for a Negro newspaper, is remarkable. But more remarkable is the fact that in all those forty-four years the Amer- ican Baptist never misged an issue. That is a great record and few pub- lications, white or otherwise, can make that boast. There is only one paper in the coun- try older than the American Baptist, and that is the Christian Recorder. Mr. W. H, Steward, the editor, is a remarkable man from many view- points, and in this instance the paper is really the mirror of the editor. The News wishes both the editor and the paper health, happiness and prosper- ity. “I have told you before today that this world is full of damphules, and I met one in Louisville.

He looked at me and said, “This is my old friend, Stump,” and then recog- nized Mr. Steward, and proceeded to read him a curtain lecture. It seemed that at a meeting he had gotten his history mixed and Editor Steward, for information, asked the scholar a few questions. “You are the man who called me in question the other day,” said Hay- son to.the Editor, “and I want you to know that I know my history; Iam educated.” “I have discovered that’ replied Mr. Steward. “I want you in the future to rever- ence me, for when I speak it is the Boston Transcript speaking.

M. Lacey, of Fountain City, recently. He led thousands of slaves to freedom during the ante- bellum days and was known as the shrewdest “underground railroad” con- ductor in the country. His opposition to slavery developed when he was a child living in Foun- tain City and at the age of 11 years he is credited with having conducted his first group of five slaves from the Ohio River to Canada. It is said that his brother assisted Eliza Harris, the original from whom “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was adopted, across the Ohio River to Ripley, O., and then to Foun- tain City. Levi Coffin’s home was the grand central station’ of the system and La. cey’s job was to conduct the slaves from there to the next station in the system, It is said that he assisted ap- proximately 3,000 slaves in their flight Northward and to freedom. HE HUGGED HIM In a Montreal town recently a colored orchestra was playing at a very swell white entertainment. A richly dressed young man and his wife entered. Attracted by the music he looked at the band and suddenly said to his wife, “My God, I believe that is George.” He left her, walked quickly to the orchestra stand, gave ‘one look and then the audience was astounded by secing him rush up to the blackest man in the bunch, grasp ‘his hand and hugged him. The people ‘thought he was crazy, and it turned out that he was crazy, crazy with joy for the black boy was from his old home in Dayton, Ohio, and they had spent many years together in school. HAMPTON STUDENTS HONOR MEMORY OF DR. B. T. WASHINGTON Hampton, Va—The Dunbar Liter- ary and Debating Society, which is a student organization at Hampton In- stitute, recently entertained a large number of men and women with 2 unique program—“A Booker T- Washington Evening,” including 2 three-reel_motion-picture film, “Pil- grimage to Tuskegee,” which gave a very satisfactory presentation of every-day life at Tuskegee as well as a picture of Tuskegee on the occasion of the unveiling of Charles Keck’s heroic bronze statue of Dr, Booker T. Washington. ‘Three Hampton Institute students— Thomas F. Inge of Charlottesville, Va., James N. Freeman, Jr,, of Kan- sas City, Kan, and Wesley D. Elam of Waverly, Va—spoke interestingly and forcefully on “Washington at Hampton,” “Washington at Tuske- gee,” and “Washington’s Contribution to the Negro Race.” To thousands of present-day Negro students Doctor Washington is 2 spiritual hero who created at Tuske- gee an institution which is influencing for good educational thought through- out the world—a man whom white and colored leaders delight to honor for his intelligent and Christian serv- ice. Eugene Fields, 3608 South State ‘street, is back in the city from a trip ‘spent at Leavenworth and other cities in Kansas with relatives and friends during the Christmas and New Year ‘holidays. C. W. HON. SCOTT M. HOGAN RABBI STEPHEN WISE DEFIES K. K. K. AT ANNUAL MEET- ING OF N. A. A. C. P. Herbert K. Stockton Added to N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors Mary B. Talbert Reports on Work of Anti-Lynching Crusaders Phillip G. Peabody Gives $1,000 to Association Culminating in a night mass meet- ing in the town hall, New York City, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held its annual meeting last evening. In the elections, a new member was added to the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors, Mr. Herbert K. Stockton of the law firm of Haight, Smith, Griffin and Deming, whose brief on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was instrumental in procuring a favorable report on the measure by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. Branch efforts against segregation in schools in Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere, and the fight against the Ku Klux Klan and the "Birth of a Nation" film were recited by delegates from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, at the afternoon meeting in the Russell Sage Foundation building. At the night mass meeting the speakers were Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, Spingarn medallist for 1922 and leader of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders; Rabbi Stephen S. Wise; Dan Kelly, a white Texan, who was sent to Kirvin, Texas, by the N. A. A. C. P. to investigate the burning to death of three Negroes; and James Weldon Johnson, who reported on the fight for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and asserted a renewed fight for its enactment would be carried on. Rabbi Wise, in the course of his address, uttered a stinging rebuke and challenge to the Ku Klux Klan, and characterized as discreditable to the American people, the failure of the senate to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. "I was warned against coming to this meeting," said Rabbi Wise. "I may say to you that I am indifferent to what any member of the Ku Klux Klan may say about me or about my people. Their hatred is my honor; their dispraise of my people is its coronation." Rabbi Wise closed his address with an impassioned appeal that colored men, as well as white, continue undaunted the fight against oppression. He said: foul and fiendish oath to America: "We shall be punished and under and by the law; but lynching portion of any man who lives under the Mrs. Mary B.

Scully and the Socialist candidate for Mayor of Chicago "I come to you tonight as a Jew and a Jewish teacher because I know as few men have had cause to know how injustice hurts, how it galls and how long continued oppression may degrade. I know—without uttering a word of bitterness or of hatred, for I feel none against my oppressors and my people's oppressors—my chief business in life is to move my people to stand erect, to lift their voices to the skies and to know that no matter what the world without may do to them they must keep their souls undefiled. "I come to you tonight a son and teacher of one of the earliest and oldest races in history who have achieved high culture; I come to you the scion of a race which gave to the western world its Bible, old and new, its patriarchs, its kings, its prophets, its evangelists—the race which gave to the world Abraham and Moses and Elijah and Isaiah and Jesus and John and Paul, the race which gave to the world the things of the spirit by which it lives; and I say to you, members, sons and daughters of the newest, in many senses, of the races who have been suffered to emerge from the darkness, I bid you have courage and fear not. To you I speak the word of Isaiah to my people, 'Fear thou not, my servant; fear thou not, my servant.' "There shall be a minimum of justice and liberty laid at your door, and on the other hand those Americans who, like you and me, love our country, who believe that America and even-handed justice must be interchangeable terms—we stand with you, we will support you, we will fight with you, lawfully in the American way, not in the lawless way of the lyncher; we will fight with you as men and women until this shame shall have been ended, until lynching shall forever have passed from the vocabulary and the life of the American people. "And you, sons and daughters of the Negro race, will render a great service, a supreme service, to your and my America if instead of bowing your backs beneath the yoke of this foul and fiendish oppression, you say to America: "We are men; we mean to live as men. Our wrongdoers shall be punished and utterly punished under and by the processes of the law; but lynching shall not be the portion of any man, white or black, who lives under the American skies." Mrs. Mary B. Talbert announced for the Anti-Lynching Crusaders, that all of their work had been done without drawing any of the funds contributed and that those funds were to THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20. 1923 HON.

COLORED BOARDING SCHOOL MATRONS STUDY AT HAMPTON Physical, Mental, Moral, and Social Development Is Central Thought of Three-Week Conference The Dormitory Is a Training School By Carrie Alberta Lyford Director Home-Economic School, Hampton Institute Hampton, Va.—Twenty-one colored women, representing twenty-one schools in eleven states, recently spent three weeks in conference at Hampton Institute, where they studied problems connected with the care of young people in boarding schools. In this group there were three deans of women, eight matrons of girls' dormitories, one preceptress of a boy's dormitory, five matrons of boarding departments, one laundry matron, and three assistant matrons. The subjects of the conference covered the entire range of the responsibilities of the matron in educational institutions. The central thought of the Hampton Institute conference was the physical, mental, moral, and social development of the student and the part that dormitory life plays in this development. Dormitory management was considered from a business standpoint. Economy in purchase and in care of furnishings was emphasized. Methods of inventorying property and of securing insurance were explained. Business management of the foods department and of the dining rooms was discussed. Desirable correlations between the boarding department and the home-economics department, as well as with the school farm and other departments, were also discussed. The conference methods included instruction by specialists, reports of present practices, observation, reference readings, and discussion of present-day problems. Free use was made of all the facilities of Hampton Institute. Visits were made in the neighborhood to study community activities in their relation to the development of the students. In case any person being hooded, robed or masked so as to conceal his identity, violates any of the provisions of this section, he shall be fined not less than $500, nor more than $2,000 or imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than 5 years nor more than 14 years or both. This section shall not extend to a parent taking his or her minor child, unless such parent is deprived of the right to have the custody of such child by the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Section 22a. Whoever, being hooded, robed or masked so as to conceal his identity, is guilty of an assault or an assault and battery, shall be fined not less that $100 nor more than $1,000 or imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than one year nor more than five years or both. Section 25b. Whoever, being hooded, robed or masked so as to conceal his identity, is guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon, instrument or other thing, with an intent to inflict upon the person of another a bodily injury, where the circumstances of the assault show an abandoned and malignant heart, shall subject the offender to a fine not exceeding $2,000 nor less than $1,000 or imprisonment in the penitentiary for a period not exceeding ten years, or both, in the discretion of the court. Section 56c. Whoever with an evil or wicked purpose appears in any public place hooded, robed or masked so as to conceal his identity, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 or imprisoned in the county jail, not less than six months nor more than a year, or both. The above bill hits or strikes the nail right square on its head and by all means each and every member of the legislature should record his vote in favor of assisting Mr. Roberts in placing it on the statute books of the state of Illinois—Editor. Special committee reports were made on care of girls, care of boys, furnishing of the dormitory, foods, table service, and laundry management Conference Findings "The dormitory should be regarded as a training school in which good living habits, high standards of conduct, efficiency in all activities, an appreciation of the value of time, and the ability to co-operate with others are acquired. "The dress of the girls should be considered as affecting the character of the girls and as setting the standard of the school. "Good health should be recognized as fundamental to good school work. An adequate diet should be provided. A well-equipped dining room is necessary for the establishment of good eating habits. "The fundamentals of good social conduct should be practised in every department of school life. Good manners, honesty, fairness, good sportsmanship, and consideration of others should be insisted upon in all intercourse among the students. "The rooms of the dormitory should all be well lighted and well ventilated and so adequately furnished as to be pleasing in appearance and convenient for living. "It is desirable to have a well-furnished bedroom for each two girls, which is provided with closet or wardrobe, enough window space for good light and ventilation, shade curtains, and walls, ceiling and floor in good condition. Bathrooms should have an adequate number of showers, toilets and wash basins. "The woman matron who can be an instructor and a counsellor for the boys, occupies an important place in an institution. She can give them help on questions of personal appearance, conduct, and care of rooms that will make their daily life while in school a valuable training for the future. Personal talks can be given to great advantage. Regular weekly talks that reach the entire group can also be made of interest and value. These talks should cover such subjects as health, self-control, trustworthiness, loyalty, politeness, and table manners." Conference Personnel The conference members present included Mrs. R. F.

EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE APPEALS AGAINST THE SINGLE HARVARD COLOR LINE Press Statement by Secretary Trotter Harvard '95, Sent to College Managers Boston, Mass.—Following the specific rejection of Roscoe C. Bruce, Jr., son of the famous Harvard class orator, as a roofer in the Freshman dormitories at Harvard College because of race, the Secretary of the National Equal Rights League, who graduated from Harvard in 1895 with two degrees and membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society, gave out a statement published in the Boston American, protesting this a wrong in principle, a violation of equal rights and of democracy, and a dangerous entering wedge of further color discrimination. The statement, which appealed to the president and governing authorities of Harvard to discontinue this practice, by which Harvard caters to prejudices in far distant states in violation of local law and custom, was sent to President Lowell and the Board of Directors and Overseers. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY WOMAN'S CLUB The first meeting of the new year was held at the residence of the president, 3710 Indiana avenue, lately. Dr. Mary F. Waring, vice-president, presided.

Dorsey of Georgia has expressed disappointment at the failure of Congress to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. In a letter to the N. A. A. C. P. he says: "The States have had ample opportunity to pass laws for the suppression of this evil, and have failed to take adequate steps. I very much hope that now the States will exercise their rights, but I have little hope that this will be the case. I cannot believe that the Federal Government can long delay taking cognizance of the situation, and indeed I hope they will not. Certain it is that the Federal Government should do something, if the States in the future fail as in the past." The Bristol (Virginia) Herald- Illinois from the Third Senatorial on the Warpath After the Ku Courier, commenting upon the letter, makes the following significant statement: "Defeat of the Dyer bill left the States free to deal with the lynching evil. It made it incumbent upon the States to justify their rights by putting forth greater efforts to suppress the evil. There are at present no indications that any State is making this effort to justify its rights and convince Congress that it can put down mob lawlessness without Federal assistance. So far as appearances go, what the States insist upon is the right to allow mobs to operate without fear of punishment." PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Mason, Gary, Ind., with their sister, Mrs. Sophy Gibson Andersen, Peoria, III., were holiday guests of their uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Davin. 3710 Indiana avenue. Mrs. Mason has recently joined her husband to become his law partner. She is a graduate of Harvard university and has been an efficient government employee in the Department of Forestry at Washington, D. C., for a number of years. She is also an active member of the board of directors of the Y. W. C. A. of Washington. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women; Mrs. Daisy Lampkins, national organizer, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mrs. Estelle Davis, state president of Ohio; Miss N. Crutcher, state president of Kentucky; Mrs. Edith Stewart, state president of Illinois, and Mrs. Myrtle Todd Cook, Kansas City, editor of the National Association Notes, were the out-of-town delegates to the Mississippi Valley Industrial Conference, January 5 and 6. They were the recipients of many pleasant club affairs. Miss Brown put her great educational program before a large number of women. She was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. H. E. Stewart while in the city. HOLDING GREAT REVIVAL One of the greatest revivals ever conducted by a woman is being held at Grant A. M. E. Church, 4600 Evans avenue, by Miss Martha J. Keys of Louisville, Ky.
