EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Mayor William Hale Thompson, Who For Almost Eight Years, Has Stood at the Head of the Most Solid and the Greatest Political Organization in the World; Ran Up the White Flag, While Engaged in the Thickest of the Fight on the Political Battlefield; Sounding a Hasty Retreat From the Field of Action, Leaving His Commanders Hanging High and Dry and He Will Not Re-enter the Race for Mayor of Chicago. HON. EDWARD R. LITSINGER, HON. ARTHUR C. LUEDER, COMMODORE SHELDON CLARK AND JUDGE BERNARD P. BARASA ARE AMONG THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, WHO ARE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR THE NOMINATION FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO. MR. JUSTICE WILLIAM E. DEVER, THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO. GAVE SOME SOUND ADVICE TO HIS COLORED FELLOW CITIZENS IN HIS RECENT TALK, AT THE IROQUOIS CLUB. FOR MORE THAN SIXTEEN YEARS JUDGE DEVER HAS BEEN A CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER TO THIS NEWSPAPER AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDLY DISPOSED TOWARDS THE COLORED RACE. When the people residing in this city and in all parts of the world read in the daily newspapers last Friday morning that Mayor William Hale Thompson had ran up the white flag and had ordered or commanded his chief commanders, followers, shouters and retainers and camp followers to sound a loud alarm and retreat from the political battlefield, it struck the earth like unto a very loud clap of thunder from a clear sky and it is still hard to believe that Mayor Thompson is willing to turn the city of Chicago over to that class of Republican politicians who have been endeavoring to ride around on the back of his neck for the past eight years. Those who are not on the inside, who do not enjoy the confidence of Mayor Thompson, will never be able to understand why he beat it to the tall timbers right at this time without informing his faithful followers that danger was straight ahead and that they had better look out for the breakers, when we take into consideration the fact that he has in the past and still at the present time stands at the head of the greatest political organizations in the wide world. For within the past eight years the Thompson political*machine has been all powerful, and it has made many big or small statesmen, many of whom will never be able to raise their heads above the political waves again, now that the Thompson ship of state has passed on down and down to the bottom of the deep political sea. Since Mayor Thompson has fully and firmly decided that he will not stand for re-election for mayor of Chicago, the woods have become full of Republican candidates and while they are all fighting among themselves like so many mad dogs and cats the people are becoming more convinced every day that the Hon. William E. Dever has the best chance of all the present candidates of becoming the next mayor of the great city of Chicago. Judge Dever's Speech, Delivered at the Irogan Club Recently Judge Dever spoke to his colored fellow citizens at a meeting at the Iroquois Club. He said, in part: "I can see but little benefit to be derived in this campaign from an attack upon individuals or groups of individuals who have had control of our municipal affairs during the last eight years—all that water has passed under the bridge. The people are more directly concerned in what my constructive program may be if I am elected Mayor of Chicago. Later in the campaign I will announce definitly what my stand will be, if elected, on every important question with which the next mayor will have to deal. But I may say here, in passing, that on the vice question an honorable man can take but one position. Take the case, merely as an illustration, of the general conditions in the Second and Third Wards, more particularly in the Second Ward; charges are made that conditions there are unbelievable; for my part I have no desire at this time to discuss them at length, 95 per cent of whom, and perhaps more, are interested in a decent government, have the right to know just what I propose to do if I should become mayor, and to want to say to them with as much sincerity as I have ever said anything in my life that I propose to give them at least some chance to bring up their children under conditions that mean something for the progress of the race. I am going to put the questions squely up to them, first, whether they want conditions in those localities such as the press tell us actually exist, or, second, whether they want a mayor in office who will relieve their children from the dangers and temptations of such conditions and who will do his utmost to provide in lieu thereof better schools, more and better playgrounds, better living and housing conditions and who will constantly keep in mind that no genuine friend of the colored race will attempt to impose upon them certain social sur THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 M.

It will be recalled that in 1906, Judge Dever was one of the candidates on the Democratic ticket for one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago; that the Hon. F. L. Barnett, who at that time was assistant state's attorney of Cook County and a Republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago and the morning after the November election in that year all the daily newspapers declared that far beyond a doubt that Chicago would have a colored or a black Municipal Court Judge. Then the black-hearted white Republicans got real busy and they called on Judge Dever and urged him to join in their cold-blooded or black-hearted scheme and assist them to oust Mr. Barnett as one of the newly-elected Judges of the Municipal Court. They wanted Judge Dever to file a contest against him and that that would be an easy way to count him out. Judge Dever absolutely refused to join hands with them, at the same time stating that Mr. Barnett did not have one thing that belonged to him (Judge Dever); that Mr. Barnett was an able lawyer, that he always conducted himself as a high-class gentleman and as far as Judge Dever was concerned he would not throw a straw in his way in any dishonest attempt to prevent him from carrying out the duties of the office to which he was elected by a majority of the voters of Chicago. A Democrat by the name of Lantry filed a contest against Mr. Barnett and he was declared elected by the Republican election commissioners. The above facts clearly proves that Judge Dever, who always received the votes of the majority of the colored MR. JUSTICE WILLIAM E. DEVER voters residing in the old 17th Ward every time he ran for alderman of that ward, holds no ill-will against the colored race. Once each week for more than 16 years, this newspaper wends its way into the pleasant home of Judge and Mrs. Dever, 5901 Kenmore avenue, and we feel very proud to number him among our warmest and steadfast friends in Chicago. THOMAS DIXON SCORES NEW VERSION OF KLAN Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of "The Clansman," and a member of the original "Ku Klux Klan of the Old South," makes the statement that the modern verison of the Ku Klux Klan is a dangerous movement. The present Ku Klux, he said, garbed in the stolen livery of the ancient order, is inimical to American society for its avowed persecution of Negroes, Catholics, Jews and foreigners. The original klan, he explained, was founded as a weapon against a corrupt and intolerable tyranny by the bravest and noblest men of the South. He said that his authorship of "The Clansman," which was dramatized on the screen as "The Birth of a Nation," had led to a belief that he was connected with the modern klan. "When organized a few years ago this modern klan sent me an invitation to join," he said. "I promptly declined and in my letter warned the organization if they dared to use the disguise in a secret oath-bound order today, with the courts of law working under a civilized government, the end was sure—riot and anarchy, bloodshed and martial law. We have already reached the point of riot and bloodshed, and unless this thing is throttled promptly we are in sight of martial law. "Its proscription of the Negro race under the conditions of modern life is entirely uncalled for, stupid and inhuman. If the white man is superior—as I believe he is—it is our duty as citizens of a democracy to lift up and help the weaker race. The klan assault upon the foreigner is the acme of stupidity. We are all foreigners except the few Indians we haven't killed. Some of us landed yesterday. Some of us a few years ago. All came as refugees from the tyranny and anguish of the Old World. Liberty's Foundation "Our fathers who landed before the revolution blazed the way through the wilderness for the trembling feet of liberty. They built a beacon on these shores, flashing its rays of hope to all the oppressed of the earth. Shall we, their sons, meet the humble immigrant of today at the water's edge with a mask and dagger and push him back into hell?" Dr. Dixon said that the klan's prescription of the Jew was a curious revival of a malignant form of mob insanity. "Why should any man attack the Jew in this country, the home of the free and the refuge of the oppressed?" he asked. "There are only five million Jews in this country, half of them in New York. Jew-baiting has always been a form of idiocy. Jesus Christ was the son of a Jewish mother. Jews Great Race" "From Jesus Christ down the ages to the last philosopher and thinker, the greatest ones have been Jews. The Jew is the greatest race of people that God has ever created." Dr. Dixon said that when he was young he used to be worried about the allegiance to the Pope and what might happen if an army backed by that pontiff marched against the United States. He said that the history of the United States and the loyalty and service of its Catholic citizens had answered that question. REOPENING OF THE AVENUE THEATER, THIRTY-FIRST STREET AND INDIANA AVENUE, UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ALLAMERICAN THEATER ASSOCIATION, MR. ALEXANDER JACKSON, PRESIDENT, AND MISS JESSIE E. JONES, SECRETARY. MISS EVELYN PREER AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY COVERED THEMSELVES OVER WITH MUCH HONOR AND GLORY ON THE OPENING NIGHT BY RENDERING OSCAR WILDE'S GREAT TRAGEDY, "SALOME." MANY OF THE LEADING WHITE CITIZENS WERE PRESENT ON MONDAY EVENING, THE OPENING NIGHT, AND FREELY MINGLED WITH THE BEST AND THE LEADING COLORED MEN AND WOMEN RESIDING IN CHICAGO: Monday evening, to the great delight of the artistic and the theatergoing colored men and women residing in this city, those who take no pleasure in witnessing coarse, low, or vulgar plays, in which the actors use a long string of vile oaths, indecent language and unboss themselves of a lot of roughhouse stuff, which is very revolting to the finer sensibilities of highly respectable and cultivated or educated men and women, were present at the reopening of the old Avenue theater, Indiana avenue and Thirty-first street, under entire new management. The All-American Theater Association, Mr. Alexander Jackson, president, who stands for everything which is high and ennobling in the colored race, and Miss Jessie E. Jones, who is full of race pride, highly cultivated and is deeply interested in everything looking towards the progress and the advancement of the colored race, is its secretary, and Mr. Raymond O'Neil, director, who has had a wonderful experience in the past, in producing plays and highly interesting little playlets. For the next two or three months they will strive to produce plays—that is, the majority of them—which will be thrown together or evolved from the brains of colored writers. Monday evening, the opening night, was a history-making epoch. The theater was crowded from pit to dome and it was a wonderful sight to behold, many of the most prominent white ladies and gentlemen in the social and in the business world in this city, occupying seats in the boxes and in other parts of the theater, side by side of colored men and women, and it simply demonstrated that there is not the slightest difference between the best class of colored men and women and the best class of white men and women. It may be interesting to many of the readers of this newspaper to bring forth the offering for the remainder of this week and it will be repeated for the second week, beginning Monday evening, Feb. 5, which will remain on the billboards until Sunday evening, Feb. 12.

The little playlet, "The Chip Woman's Fortune," was well rendered in every way and it made a powerful hit with the audience. It is chuck full of real downright innocent fun and yet every word and gesture contains and conveys much good, homely advice to those who witness it and it depicts every-day life as it exists among a large class of colored people and white ones, too, for that matter, in many parts of this country. It is filled with merit and sound philosophy from its beginning to its end and Miss Evelyn Preer, Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick, Miss Marion Harrison, Miss Laura Bowman, Mr. Solomon Bruce and the THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

Under Act of March 8, 1879 RE-OPENING OF THE AVENUE THEATRE, 31ST STREET AND INDIANA AVENUE (Concluded from page 1) other members of the cast were all at their very best. This can also be truly said in reference to the famous tragedy by Oscar Wilde, "Salome." If we mistake not, Miss Evelyn Preer has the honor and the great distinction of being the first colored actress in this country to attempt to impersonate Salome and with a great deal of artistic ability and with rare modesty she acquitted herself well in rendering her several difficult and trying parts and very few actresses in this country have the edge on her when it comes down to real or high-class dramatic art, and she is a brilliant star of the first magnitude and she is just as graceful, beautiful and enchanting as our own Mary Garden and her dancing will compare more than favorably with hers. Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick, as King Herod, shared the high honors with Miss Preer, and in fact all the players reached the very highest water-mark for every last one of them more than made good in the various important parts assigned to them. Mr. Arthur T. Aldis, Mr. and Mrs. Graham Aldis, Mr. and Mrs. R. Baldwin, Miss Elizabeth Heindle occupied box B; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob J.

Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, noted elocutionist and lecturer, who for many years has been an instructor at Wilberforce College, Wilberforce, Ohio, is declared to have been let out of the faculty of that institution. The report goes that Bishop Joshua Jones, who holds the "money bag" of the institution and also has much to do with the management of the affairs of the school, offered Miss Brown certain subjects to teach and while Miss Brown had the matter under consideration, the Bishop declared her chair vacant. The other chairs being occupied, there was none left for Miss Brown. It is said that Bishop Jones has fell into a regular "hornets" nest" in thus dismissing Miss Brown, for the women of Ohio are already on the warpath and no doubt their voice of protest of the Bishop's action will be augmented by club women all over the country. ```markdown ``` CHARLES E. STUMP, THE OLD TIME REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN SPENDING THE LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS IN OLD MISSISSIPPI AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE SOUTH. Jackson, Miss.,—I have jumped from the state of K. K. K., so to speak, to the state of Vardaman, and everything else that is mean and good, too, for there are some good things in Mississippi, and this state has produced some strong men and women who are taking their places in this world. This is the state of Major John R. Lynch, who now lives in Chicago, Blanche K. Bruce, James Hill, Hryam Revels, and many other great men and women. These men have made it in history and passed on, and, by the way, the Knights of Pythias had their birthright here in this state under Thomas W. Stringer. But I have been riding just a little bit, as you can see, since I wrote you that last letter, 'and I would come right on back to Chicago, but it is time for that great surgeon, Dr. George C. Hall, to go to Florida, and I may be down longer than he will be in Chicago, so I am just going to take myself to Kansas City for an operation, to be done by Dr. S. H. Thompson, who is the grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and he may make me one of them boys, and suspend the goat riding business, although I am some kind of rider myself. I can ride the goat, but you see I have been sick so long he may throw me. You may send mail for me until further notice to 1116 Washington Boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas. Do not discuss business. Remember I am there sick. You have heard about what they have been doing in Louisiana, but not in New Orleans where I was, for I was there attending a conference—the Louisiana conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, presided over by Bishop W. A. Fountain, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the great men of the race, and Bishops J. S. Flipper and William Decker Johnson were there to look the field over and to say a word to the junior bishop, who is making his mark and who is going right in to the hearts of the people. He is doing a great work in Louisiana and is speaking right out in church. He is manly and conservative. He is not a cringer, but a straight-up man. He strikes me as a man not afraid of a buzz saw when it is buzzing and I thank God for that. The conference was well attended and there were some men there who want to be bishops—if they are not elevated it will not be their fault, and some of them I think deserve to be. I met the Rev. Dr. J. A. Lindsay, who is indeed a great big man, and a man of great parts and qualities. He was for a long time dean of Turner Theological Seminary, Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga., and now he is presiding elder in Savannah, and you believe me when I tell you he is going to be there when it comes to making bishops in 1924, and I expect to see him one of them. He is deserving. There is Charles E. Brook, who is out for a big plum, but he is never successful in getting the church to see him as he sees himself, and that will have to be done before he can ever get to be any kind of secretary. Speaking of secretary, I had the pleasure of meeting in New Orleans Dr. S. J. Johnson, of San Antonio, and you will believe me when I tell you that he is just making friends and plenty of them. He is on his way to perfection, and will land in the position of Secretary of Church Extension in 1924. God grant that this will be accomplished. When I met and met them, and they met me. I was given every consideration. Rev. Edward Wittenburg, as you know, has been called to Allen Chapel, Kansas City, and he was not there to entertain the conference, but believe me, honey, his wife did do HON. CHARLES S. PETERSON Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of County Commissioners and Chairman of the Committee on Forest Preserves, Who with His Good Wife, Mrs. Peterson, Are Greatly Assisting to Back the All-American Theater Association. some entertaining. She is a wonderful woman, and had at her table daily a dozen or more people. Her immediate guests were Bishop and Mrs. Fountain, and the regular eaters were Revs. M. A. and W. A. Fountain, the first the bishop's brother and the other his son; Charles E. Stump, H. R. Baranco and others whose names I do not recall. She worked hard and soon she will join her husband in Kansas City. I want to pay a tribute to Mrs. Fountain, the wife of the Bishop, and who is indeed a remarkable woman. I had the pleasure of meeting her. She is not only the wife of the bishop, but she is also his private secretary and has been for years. She held that position when he was president of Morris Brown, and she is holding it now, and is on a salary. She took time to get some education before she accepted a husband, and now she is of great service to her husband. She served him during the conference, and the men made her welcome. Her service does not end with the few pennies she gets out of it, for all the money he has or can get hold of belongs to the president, and I mean by that the wife and private secretary. He told her so. You know what they are doing in Louisiana—how they have been doing some killing, and Governor Parker is trying to regulate it and let men know that they cannot take the law in their own hands. I hope that all will be adjusted, and life and property of all the people of Louisiana will be safe. I take off my hat to the K. K. K., who is doing a brown baby job. You see there was a time that they would lynch us without putting on masks, but thanks be unto God, they are now putting on masks and lynching themselves, and this is giving us the benefit of this. When white men kill white men like they have been killing black men, then the big show opens up, and there comes the fireworks. That is what is, going on right now. They have them in jail, they are telling the truth on each other, while they may never tell how they killed us, they will tell how they killed the white folks, and when they stop it it will be stopped. They are fixing for them big meetings. Information comes to me that the National Race Congress will meet in Washington May 2. I am going to be there, for they are going to talk about that United States Senate that refused to pass a bill which meant the protection of human life, and the majority of them were republicans. We are just going to see how they can be put to their place. They must be considered, and put where they belong. If they are to neglect a duty, and think I must continue to vote for them on the ground that Abraham Lincoln and his party emancipated us. Some of these old devils now had nothing to do with it. We have fully paid the debt and now we are to do a little thinking. Put thought into life. Thinkers will not be led around by the nose. Write Dr. W. H. Jernagin, 1341 Third street N. W., Washington, D. C. I will tell you about other meetings next week. Now I am here'guest visiting Jackson college and Campbell college, and I am proud to say to you that I have had the pleasure of seeing Miss E. Delilah Lampton, the daughter of the late Bishop Lampton. She is teaching music and literature in Campbell college. She is doing good work, and her sister, Miss Ethel Lampton, is teaching domestic science. I am going to tell you about Jackson college, President Z. T. Hubert, Dean, George C. Mason and other beings connected with the college next year. CHARLES E. STUMP THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. HON U. S. SCHWARTZ Member of the City Council from the Old Third Ward, Chairman of Its Committee on Local Transportation, Who Feels Dead Sure of Breaking Back Into It from the New Fourth Ward. THE DEADLY AUTOMOBILE The increased death toll from automobile accidents in Chicago constitutes one of the serious bad spots in the city's death rate and should serve to call attention to the public health and accident situation not only as exists in this city but throughout the country generally. Reported figures show that for the first 11 months of 1922 there were 517 fatalities due to automobiles. This was an average of 47 deaths per month for the period named. Assuming that this average was maintained during the month of December, the figures not yet being available, it would mean a total of 564 deaths for the year 1922 attributable to motor driven vehicles. And what is true in Chicago seems to be true generally throughout the country. All available statistical data tend to confirm the steady and practically continuous rise from year to year in the mortality from this cause. In spite of the fact that safety first campaigns have been inaugurated from coast to coast this fearful and unwarranted slaughter of human lives by motor driven vehicles continues without abatement. A statistician of one of the leading insurance companies furnishes the following interesting figures. In 1911 the deaths due to automobile accidents to persons of ages from 45 to 54 were 3.2 per 100,000. In 1921 the deaths for the same age group due to automobile accidents were 20.6 per 100,000. These figures indicate in a general way the steadily increasing death toll from motor driven vehicles. The deaths attributable to accidents, excluding homicide and suicide, in Chicago for the year 1922 totaled 1986. These figures do not include 35 other deaths still under investigation and which when finally determined may be placed under this heading. The automobile as a factor in the mortality of a city like Chicago may be better understood when the mortality figures from other causes are considered in connection therewith. For example, during the year 1922, typhoid, smallpox, measles and scarlet fever, all told, were responsible for 298 deaths. Automobiles caused, as has been stated, 517 deaths. Most automobile accidents are preventable, therefore, deaths due to automobile accidents are preventable. The Department of Health can and does isolate and quarantine cases of scarlet fever, smallpox or typhoid, and in this way prevents the spread of these diseases. It, however, has no means, nor has it the power to isolate and quarantine drivers of automobiles who by reckless and careless driving imperil not only their own safety but others as well. Health officials rightfully may be held responsible to a degree, at least, for deaths due to polluted milk and water supplies; or, in fact, for those deaths from any of the diseases that are recognized as preventable and amenable to sanitary administration. There are, however, notable exceptions, among which may be mentioned such diseases as chronic nephritis and organic heart disease, but even in these it is recognized that competent medical advice is of value along preventive lines. It would, however, seem to be incumbent on the Department of Health at least to call attention to this frightful increase in the mortality figures from this particular cause; and to urge upon all car owners and operators the importance of obsering at all times and under all circumstances the fundamentals of safety first; and in the driving and operation of every machine to never lost sight of the A. B. C.'s of driving a car. A. B. C. properly interpreted means ALWAYS BE CAREFUL. A GLIMPSE AT SOCIETY By Dr. M. A. Majors We often hear people say this or that happens in the best regulated families. It then becomes pertinent that it does not happen oftimes in families not at all regulated. It is also true that the best regulated families are not always to be depended upon. Society itself does not always get its nutrient and growth from the best regulated families. But when we ask the question who constitutes society, and what is it you find yourself drifting toward chaos. As we view it, there is all fashioned and apparently formed before one's gaze a beautiful thing to look at, but when you puncture the thing, or attempt to analyze it you will find it some kind of a crude, ill-shaped mass of conglomerate as well as heterogeneous nonsense. The real, genuine, true-hearted people take but very little stock in social upheavals. Snobbery would be a good name for the thing most people call society. The better than thou—the ultra—cast impostors, slimy with the ugliness of perverted infamy, regaled in the gaudy gloss, get their protection in the low walks of crime because they are united in the devilty committed by their sort. They have their glow and their after-glow, their twilight and their radiant morn, moonshine and the rest of it, and they bask for a time in the mellow light of artificial splendor and then we hear the words go around, "Well, it happens in the best regulated families." Sometimes we go far away in the fields of though peradventure to find the ideal, and then we find the path leading us to nowhere only to find shadows growing dink about us. By the way truth marks as guide posts we find our way back into realism. Society was nowhere to be found. We saw the blood of heroes coursing the veins of a rich idiot. We were astonished at the loveliness of some joyous narcissus, gaudy in attire, but minus in the far reaches of virtue. What is all this we hear about the best element; the best blood? The best element may not live where luxury raises its haughty head at all. Lots of the best people live in squalor, just as the purest girl is not arrayed in finery. The vulgar eye concentrates upon the gown of folly, and the foolish maiden, too, often surrenders to the blandishments of the snob. In the upward trend of mankind the thing called society is pointed out as the social function. But if it were merely that and nothing more, how much better the world would be. It sets itself up as the chosen few to look down with life-wrecking superiority on the many, and this the hell that much money leads us to. Independence, irreverence, disregard of all things heavenly and divine. The race is rapidly approaching that social and intellectual status that it invites the calcium light of researchers, journalists and the rest of them thrown on the scenery, that intelligent analysis of the thing called a problem GRAND OPENING OF THE RED CAPS CLUB, 3441 S. WABASH AVENUE. THE BUILDING WHICH FORMERLY BELONGED TO THE APPOMATTOX CLUB. Last Friday evening the Red Caps moved into their new home, 3441 South Wabash avenue, where they held a good old-time housewarming, the building having recently passed into the hands of the Red Caps, who are connected with the Illinois Central depot, Twelfth street station, the Polk street or the Dearborn station, and the Northwestern station. Their motto: "Proficiency and efficient service, and the uplift of humanity, morally and intellectually." The above motto is a splendid one and the members of the Red Caps club will strictly adhere to it. Delaware's high class orchestra furnished the music throughout the evening, at which time the following program was rendered, to the great pleasure of the large number of men and women who attended the very pleasant and highly enjoyable affair: Program—Overture, Delaware's orchestra; invocation, E. E. Gibson; remarks, President Sandy W. Trice; piano solo, Miss Goldie Dye, Chicago Musical college; address, Hon. Geo. K. Terkey, state representative; violin solo, Miss Charlotte Page, Chicago Conservatory of Music; vocal selection, Mrs. Gladys Elaine Hoffman, popular young Chicago artist; Prof. Mason's Famous Excelsior Trio (Madam Bertha Dickerson Tyree, dramatic soprano; Mme. Rosamond, pianist and mezzo soprano; Mr. J. Taylor Brownlow, bass and reader.) may be made. All peoples are alike in the very urgent necessities and qualifications, in quality they do not differ. The tramp, well shaved and dressed up in a king's robe, would look like a king, etc. SOUTHERN PLANTERS' AP- PEAL TO HOOVER It is reported that 2,000 colored people left the State of Mississippi within the last ten days bound for northern cities. Estimates from other sources indicate that from the Mississippi and Arkansas deltas fully 15,000 have gone. Georgia furnishes 12,000 to add to the imposing total. South Carolina, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana also furnish numerous migrants. They are coming to the various cities of the North and West. Kansas City, Indianapolis, Topeka, Kansas and Chicago are receiving many of these. The same old causes are given as reasons for the departure, among which the New York World gives the following: Taxation without representation, denial of the right to vote through the subterfuge of the white primary, inadequate school facilities in rural districts, unjust division of crops on the tenant plan, lynching and burning of men and women on the slightest pretext with no immediate relief in . 96 JULY 1929 HON.

Dever for Mayor of Chicago. the Red Caps club, who is one of the most worthy and enterprising Afro-American citizens in Chicago, at some length set forth the aims and the objects of the Red Caps club, and at the conclusion of his plain and sensible remarks, he was heartily applauded. At that point, Col. Milton T. Bailey, in the most eloquent manner and language, introduced Hon. George T. Kersey, member of the legislature of Illinois, who was the leading orator of the evening and his talk was greatly enjoyed by all those who sat under the sound of his voice. Dancing followed the set program of the evening, and the members and officers of the Red Caps club deserve to be highly commended for putting their heads and their money together and buying a permanent home for themselves and their families. The following are the officers of the Red Caps club for the coming year: Sandy W. Trice, president; B. F. Shepard, vice-president; Otto Robinson, treasurer; C. B. Hayes, financial secretary; L. J. Mason, corresponding secretary. Directors: Samuel Harris, B. F. Graham, Chas. J. Johnson, Dr. Chas. P. Johnson, W. T. Hall, B. Todd; entertainment committee: F. F. Delaware, Chas. F. Collins, L. A.

The Nashville Clarion attempting to sum up has the following to say concerning the comment of the leading southern papers: "Some of them claim that colored people are hunting easier places, while others claim they are hunting social equality. Neither one of these statements is true. The colored people love the South dearly, and prefer very much to remain within its borders; but they are reaching the conclusion more and more that no section is safe for them in which they are denied equal protection by the law." Federal Authorities Interveen in Art kansas Lynching The "Citizens' Court" has murdered and flogged strikers of the railroad shop crafts around Harrison and Little Rock, Arkansas, according to public press reports, and is continuing its policy of terrorization with the result that a federal probe is now under way. The "Citizens' Court" claim to have acted under the authority of a circuit judge, but the judge however, denied it. The big thing is that as the result of the lynching of white strikers the long arm of the federal authorities has gone into Arkansas. At last reports the Dyer bill had not been passed. 99 LTE CPH de Politicians; Member of the County, Member of the Firm ofractors, Who Is Working Very William E.Dever for Mayor of THE FOLLOWING YOUNG PERSONS ARE GRADUATES FROM THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL TO THE GREAT DELIGHT OF ITS PRINCIPAL, ALBERT W.

To avoid the experience of studying from the inside, Johnson borrowed $122 from Sheriff Nagle of New York, to whom he had surrendered under a contempt charge. Johnson still owed $300 to Barney Gerard, a theatrical man, who had obtained judgment for $1,200 for breach of contract. Johnson had failed to fulfill engagements with Gerard's troupe. Failing to pay the final $300, Johnson was adjudged to be in contempt. He "come" in after scurrying busily to raise the money and reported that he still lacked $122 for the amount. Nagel's generosity just saved him from a night in the almamy club. BACK FROM ROGERSVILLE Mrs. Sallie Agee, 11305 S. Elizabeth Sf, Morgan Park, is back from Rogersville, Tenn., where she went A. E.

ELIOT PAYS TRIBUTE TO ARMSTRONG Hollis B. Frissell is Remembered as One Who Taught Men and Women the Art of Unselish Friendship Taft Visits Hampton By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va.—Dr. Samuel A. Eliot of Cambridge, Mass., president of the American Unitarian Association, who delivered the annual founder's day address at Hampton Institute, declared that Hampton Institute, since 1868, has been the creator of opportunity and that its founder, Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, has become known throughout the educational world as the creator of manhood and womanhood. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, introduced Doctor Eliot as a friend and spokesman of freedom, truth, and progress. Doctor Eliot paid tribute to Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, who was General Armstrong's successor and principal of Hampton from 1893 until his death in 1917, as a man of well-balanced judgment, penetrating observation, transparent honesty of nature, sanity, and sincerity, who taught men and women the art of unselfish friendship. "Hampton is the extension of personal forces of men and women who could see clearly, think independently, imagine vividly, and will nobly," said Doctor Eliot. "Hampton is the incarnation of the dreams of people who were able to impart themselves and to draw out hesitating minds and hearts into equal loyalty and devotion. "Armstrong had in his blood a mingling of the Scotch-Irish strain with the New England Puritanism. COUNCIL HONORED The present and past Daughter, Rulers Council was the guest on its second anniversary of Heliotrope Temple No. 16, Daughters of Elks, of which Mrs. Bettie A. Givens is Daughter Ruler.

Bailey, president The Bailey Realty Co., and manager The Milton Mercantile Agency, 3638 S. State St. is quite busy in Morgan Park where he is planning the opening for 1923 of lot selling and the erection of homes for anxious members of the Race who want to get away from the congested city and others who are coming fro different parts of the country and who want to build in the suburbs. America's Piis Lines At one time or anot we almost every barrel of oil produce in the United States travels through a pipe line. The flow of oil in the fifty thousand miles of pipe line never stops. Different grades of oil are separated from one another by "headers," which are merely partitions of water three feet long. He had a large measure of the warmth and vehemence which belongs to the Scotch-Irish temperament. He also had Puritan self-restraint. He possessed the Puritan traits of indomitable persistence and readiness for whatever might happen next. "The peculiar gifts and merits of the good soldier were incarnated in Armstrong; namely, loyalty, ability to subordinate personal interest and pride, and readiness to sacrifice for the common good. He had both fighting power and staying power. "Nature bestowed on Armstrong vigorous intelligence, quickness of perception, capacity for unintermittent toil, an instinctive attraction for things beautiful and true, and that heroic sentiment which is rightly called 'chivalric.' He could not be patient with meagerness of life, low aim, mean ambitions, and crooked ways." The memorial services included the singing of "Lift Thine Eyes" from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," Kleins "Hail to the Lord's Anointed," and Burleigh's "Deep River" by the Hampton Institute choir of sixty voices, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett. William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States, who is the president of the Hampton Institute board of trustees, was one of the guests at the founder's day celebration. Doctor Eliot, who is also chairman of the education committee of the U. S. Board of Indian Commissioners, in an address to members of the Armstrong League of Hampton Workers, on "Hampton's Contribution to Indian Education in the United States," expressed his confidence in the American Indian's ability to make a worthy contribution to American civilization. He paid tribute to the excellent records which have been made by Hampton-trained Indians. MORE COLORED TROOPS ON WAY TO RUHR Marseilles, France.—The steamship. Doukkula arrived this afternoon from Morocco with three battalions of the 65th regiment, each of 1,200 men. Troops entrained for the Ruhr at once. It is reported another steamer is on the way with more Moorish troops for the occupied zone. Victoria's Record Reign. Queen Victoria's was the longest reign in English history. It lasted 68 years. She ascended the throne in 1837 and died in 1901, at the age of eighty-one years. The next longest reign was that of her grandfather, George III, who was on the throne 50 years, though he became hopefully insane nine years before his death, and his oldest son, afterward George IV, became prince regent. Edward III's reign lasted 50 years and Elizabeth's 44. Historic Knife. The Camavallet museum recently received what is said to be the knife of the guillotine used in Paris during the French Revolution and the subsequent Reign of Terror, and which served to decapitate Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Robesplère, and thousands of others. It was a gift to the museum from a Belgian collector. The relic is said to have been in the possession of the family of Samson, the famous executioner of the French Revolution, for several generations. Where Custom Rules.

Published by Juta and Company, Limited, Cape Town, South Africa. This little volume has come all the way from South Africa. I do not know the price, but I want to note it among the publications of 1922 as one of careful study and friendly import. Neilsen tells us that he has studied the ways of the natives of South Africa on the spot, "at first hand, through the medium of their own speech, which he professes to know as well as the natives themselves." With this knowledge he discusses Bantu, evidently the South African Native, whose language he knows, and finds him surprisingly like the white man in his physical, intellectual and moral equipment. To give some quotations: "The Bantu, as compared with other races, labor under no apparent physiological disabilities to hinder them in the process of mental development." Of their language, he says: "The Bantu types are capable of being developed into as perfect a means of expression of human thought as any of the European types of speech. They are astonishingly rich in verbs, which make it easy to express motion and action vividly." The Bantus are not more bestial than whites: "The sexual instincts of the Natives seem in no wise different from those of other people." Their bravery is very great. "Those who have shared the dangers of flood and field with African Natives often testify to acts of sublime courage by native soldiers, hunters and miners in the face of real and appreciated danger under circumstances which show that the Natives as a whole are no less capable than the white people of conquering instinctive fear and of sacrificing the individual self when great demands are made." And of brain power: "In sound reasoning ability, as applied to matters with which he is familiar, the Native is no whit below the white man." Of Negro achievement: "The mental strain involved in leading the so-called simple life of the so-called savage is, on the whole, no less intense than that suffered by the civil The Avenue INDIANA AVENUE PHONE DO Under the ALL-AMERICAN THEATRE Raymond QT SALC Will Be Repeated By Beginning Monday By the Players of the All-Ac Season tickets can be secured 35th Street, headquarters of The A Single or individual tickets can HON.

Even before the whites came to South Africa the Bantu lived in social order under a political system in which the principles of constitutionalism were clearly recognized." With this and other clear statements of the equality of the black man with the white, the writer proceeds to discuss the relation between the two races in South Africa. He makes it clear to us why white men see red when they view the mating of a white woman and a colored man. The white man's instinct of sexual jealousy is aroused. The male should win and hold the female, and this instinct makes the white man resent the entrance into the field of a dissimilar race. This racial pride is growing among the Bantus as well. General education accentuates race pride rather than diminishes it. And yet, it is not enough to rely upon to keep the races apart and the writer ends with a scheme for complete separation of the races in South Africa. He would have certain sections given over wholly to the Natives and others wholly, or almost wholly, to the Europeans. Natives would only own land in their own sections. Thus parallel civilizations would grow up, and friction be lessened. This has been many a man's dream, but when we look at our own Pueblo Indians today, we cannot believe it will work out well in South Africa. There is one human quality upon which we can always count, cupidity. The whites in South Africa would take the land from the Natives just as soon as it was worth their while, provided the whites remained in the ascendant. And the Negroes, like our Indians, would be left to die. One feels like throwing up one's hands when this admirable little volume is finished. Is there no solution to the problem of white and black living together? Must one race be swallowed up by the other race, or will humanity learn something from experience? This last seems unlikely, so which race will be swallowed up? Be More Beautiful Remarkable Preparation Makes It Easy for Anyone to Quickly Grow Long, Soft, Silky, Lovely Hair.
