THE BRILLIANT AND CHANGEABLE POLITICAL CAREER OF COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST. IN 1911 HE AND HON. ROBERT R. JACKSON AND THE LATE MAJOR JOHN C. BUCKNER WITH A BAND OF MUSIC MARCHED AT THE HEAD OF ALDERMAN AL. TEARNEY'S DEMOCRATIC PARADE FROM 37TH AND STATE STREETS, NORTH ON THAT STREET TO WASHINGTON STREET AND RIGHT INTO THE CITY HALL. It is very strange, indeed, how some people who claim to be very bright and up-to-date in all things who will not use their brains when they read either the daily or weekly newspapers and then again there ar many people both white and colored people who will shy from the absolute truth in order at all times to score a point against the right. For a long time in the past many short sighted colored milk and water Republican politicians in order to assist in pulling down the popularity and the continual increase of the influence of The Broad Ax, loudly contended on all occasions that old Taylor is a dyed in the wool Democrat and that his newspaper is at all times a little "Nigger" Democratic sheet. The above statements are one hundred million times farther from the absolute truth than the bright shining sun is from the earth, for more than twenty-seven years it has been stated millions of times in the sub-heading at the top of page 2, just what this newspaper stands for and its main platform which is as follows: IN 1912 COL. DE PRIEST, THE LATE MAJOR JOHN C. BUCKNER AND THEIR FOLLOWERS CAME WITHIN ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO VOTES OF TRANSFERRING THE SECOND WARD FROM THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN OVER INTO THE DEMOCRATIC COLUMN FOR THE BENEFIT OF COL. MACLAY HOYNE, WHO LATER ON ENDEAVORED TO LAND COL. DE PRIEST IN THE PEN AT JQLIET, ILL., FOR HIS LABOR IN HIS BEHALF.

JACKSON AND BREAK BACK INTO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH THE AID OF THE OLD DEAD WING OF THE CARTER H. HARRISON DEMOCRATS IN THE SECOND WARD. Editor and Publisher "If anyone will take the trouble to read the above platform which has appeared in these columns for the past twenty-seven years, they will observe that it is plainly stated that The Broad Ax is neither Republican nor Democratic, that it is strictly or absolutely independent in politics. IT IS CLAIMED BY SOME OF THE FRIENDS OF COL. DE PRIEST THAT HE WILL RECEIVE $25,000 IN REAL MONEY IF HE CAN TRANSFER THE SECOND WARD OVER INTO THE "By adhering to this course or policy this newspaper has become the greatest and the leading advertising medium among the Republican and Democratic politicians in Chicago. For example, The Broad Ax of November 7, 1922, contained thirty-four beautiful half tone cents of the leading Democratic and Republican candidates and it so happened that they were equally divided, seventeen Republicans and seventeen Democrats, and that issue of The Broad Ax contained more newspaper cuts than all the other newspapers published in the interest of the colored race in this city combined. "In the past and in the future The Broad Ax has never knowingly permitted politicians to advertise in its columns, Democrats or Republicans who have publicly displayed their hostility towards the colored race, that is much more than can be honestly said by the editors of the other Afro-American newspapers published in this, city and by the leading colored politicians who feel that they are the bosses or the slave masters of all the colored people residing in Chicago." Notwithstanding all of the above solid facts, Col. De Priest and Col. Alexander L. Jackson, for reasons no doubt best known to themselves, have broadcasted the news that this newspaper belongs body and soul to the Democrats and that Julius Taylor is nothing but an old "Nigger" Democrat. Lately Hon. William E. Dever has made several tours throughout the south side among the colored people and wherever he has addressed them he has been warmly and heartily received. Last Thursday evening he held forth at the, Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand boulevard, which was crowded to the doors with its members. Col. Oscar, DePriest, Col. Edward H. Wright, Col. Louis B. Anderson and Col. John R. Marshall and several other Cols. occupying front seats, and they all looked very wise as though they were playing some deep politics and no doubt felt that with Mayor William Hale Thompson, the second Abraham Lincoln to the colored race, out of the race, that they were between the devil and the deep blue sea and every time that Judge Dever made a point or a home run you could almost hear them say "Amen! Amen!" Judge Dever met many of his old friends among the lawyers who have tried many cases before him in the Superior and Appellate Courts of Cook County, and they can testify as to his fairness and uprightness at all times and he made many new friends and some votes during his pleasant visit to the Appomattox Club. On Sunday evening Judge Dever was the main speaker at the Greater Bethel A. M. E. church, 4200 Grand boulevard, which was packed from end to end, and he was accorded a rousing welcome or reception. Bishop Archibald James Carey introduced him and the eloquent orator came mighty rear delivering Judge Dever's speech for him. Col. Oscar DePriest was the other, leading speaker and many of the men and women around in the church strongly intimated that Dever would be just the same to them as Mayor William Hale Thompson and that with Judge Dever in the Mayor's chair that the colored people would still have a good friend at court. THE BRILLIANT AND CHANGE-ABLE POLITICAL CAREER OF COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST. It is far beyond our ability to write a true story of the brilliant and changeable political career of Col. Oscar DePriest, who is one of our best and most highly esteemed friends. To the best of our memory it runs something like the changeable story which we will now attempt to dish up. In 1904 and 1906 he was elected county commissioner through the influence of his steadfast friend, Hon. Martin B. Madden, and he made a very creditable record as one of the commissioners of Cook county. In 1911 he bitterly fought Col. Milton J. Foreman, the Republican candidate for re-election to the City Council from the Second Ward and assisted to elect Col. Al Tearney, the Democrat, and Col. DePriest, the late lamented Major John C. Buckner, Hon. Robert R. Jackson and many of their camp followers with a band of music marched at the head of Col. Al Tearney's Democratic parade from 37th and State streets on north on that street to Washington street, right into the new City Hall. In 1912 the Republican committee of one or two hundred which passed upon the final fitness of the candidates before their names were placed upon the primary ballot, refused to stand for Col. DePriest for county commissioner after he had been highly endorsed by Hon. Martin B. Madden, the committee claiming that Col. DePriest was not a Republican, but a Democrat, for he had marched at the head of a Democratic parade in the spring of 1911 and at the November election of 1912 Col. DePriest and the late Major John C. Buckner came within 162 votes of transferring the Second Ward from the Republican column over into the Democratic column. In 1915 Col. DePriest was elected to the City Council from the Second Ward and after he had absolutely refused to support Col. Maclay Hoyne in 1916 in his second election as State's Attorney of Cook county, Col. Hoyne, his new Democratic wild-eyed boss, had Col. DePriest indicted by the grand jury and he spent thousands of dollars of the small taxpayer's money in his mad effort to land Col. DePriest in the pen at, Joliet, Ill., which was to repay Col. DePriest for his labors in behalf of Col. Hoyne. In 1918 Col. DePriest turned over heaven and the red-hot place in his desperate effort to defeat Major Robert R. Jackson at the primaries and at the election, but Major Jackson held him level, and prevented him from breaking into the City Council. In 1918 Col. DePriest's people's monument within the Republican party in the Second Ward endorsed every man running on the Republican ticket at the fall election, but after doing so, they say that Col DePriest supported the late Judge Thomas F. Scully for re-election as County Judge, Democrat; the late Peter Reinberg, Democratic candidate for president of the Board of County Commissioners, the late M. J. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN Member of Congress From the First Congressional D One of the Greatest Friends of the Colored Ra State Whom Col. De Priest Was Unable to Defe For Congress in 1918.

It may not be true, but some claim that at that election that Col. DePriest supported the late M. F. Sullivan, Democrat, for chief justice of the Municipal Court of Chicago, instead of Hon. Harry Olson. This newspaper loyally supported Judge Olson and he won out at the election and from that day to this Judge Olson has felt very grateful to us for standing by him at that critical time. neen faction of the Republican party as he had cussed out Mayor William Hale Thompson and all of his followers, including Col. Louis B. Anderson, Col. Edward H. Wright, Col. Robert R. Jackson, Col. Edward D. Green and Bishop Archibald James Carey, the former political pastor of the Institutional church, and they were all down and out with Col. DePriest, and Col. DePriest was one of the big bosses around the Deneen camp in the Morrison Hotel. The Deneen faction elected Charles It was also in 1918 that Col. De Priest made his great shameful effort to defeat Hon. Martin B. Madden in his race for re-election to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, notwithstanding the fact that Congressman Madden had made it possible for him to become the leading political boss among the colored people in this city and had sent him three or five thousand dollars at the time of his trial in the Criminal Court in 1917. That was Congressman Madden's reward for his kindness to Col DePriest. At that same fall election in 1918, Col. DePriest lined up, with the De- neen faction of the Republican party as he had cussed out Mayor William Hale Thompson and all of his followers, including Col. Louis B. Anderson, Col. Edward H. Wright, Col. Robert R. Jackson, Col. Edward D. Green and Bishop Archibald James Carey, the former political pastor of the Institutional church, and they were all down and out with Col. DePriest, and Col. DePriest was one of the big bosses around the Deneen camp in the Morrison Hotel. The Deneen faction elected Charles W. Peters sheriff, also electing many of their other candidates to the various county offices, and for his labors Col. DePriest was given thirty-five thousand dollars worth of patronage with the expectation that he would swing the Second Ward for the Deneen candidate for mayor at the primaries in 1919, and no colored person, man or woman, could light in any job in the offices controlled by the Deneen faction of the 'Republican party without the O.K. of Col. DePriest. It is said that Col. De Priest placed many of his own kith and kin in good, fat jobs which he had the moral right (Continued on Page 2) THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

THE BLACK MAMMY MONUMENT Colored women all over the United States stand agast at the idea of erecting a black mammy monument in the capital of the United States. The condition of the slave woman was so pititably, hopelessly helpless that it is difficult to see how any woman, whether white or black, could take pleasure in a marble statue to perpetuate her memory. The black mammy had no home life. In the very nature of the case she could have none. Legal marriage was impossible for her. If she went through a farce ceremony with a slave man, he could be sold away from her at any time, or she might be sold from him, or she might be taken as concubine by her master, his son, the overseer or any other white man on the place, who might desire her. No colored woman could look upon a statue of a black mammy with a dry eye when she remembered how often the slave woman's heart was torn with anguish because the children, either of her master or their slave father, were ruthlessly torn from her in infancy or in youth to be sold "down the country," where, in all human probability she would never see them again. The black mammy was often faithful in the service of her mistress's children, while her heart bled over her own little babies, who were thus deprived of their mother's ministrations and tender care, which the white children received. One cannot help but marvel at the desire to perpetrate in bronze or marble a figure which represents so much that really is and should ```markdown ``` M. B. HON. JAMES W.

Without attempting to disguise the plain facts, it must be admitted that many colored people in all parts of this city will on Tuesday, April 3, vote in favor of Hon. William E. Dever for Mayor of Chicago. In the Second Ward Madam Adys V. Musgrove, the fashionable costumer, 184 W, Washington street, has become the chairman of the Dever for Mayor Club of the Second Ward; Mrs. A. Graves, first vice chairman; Mrs. M. P. Rhambo, second vice chairman, and Mrs. E. Alexander, secretary. Every hour in the day colored men and women are joining the Dever for Mayor Club of the Second Ward and without price or the promise of any money, Madam Musgrove has become one of the most active workers for Judge Dever for Mayor in the Second Ward, or in all parts of the city. Madam Musgrove frequently visits the Democratic headquarters, No. 10 N. Clark street, where she has met in conference with Mrs. William E. Dever, Mrs. George E. Brennan, Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks, Miss Mary McDowell and the many other ladies connected with the mayoralty campaign and Madam Musgrove states that all of the ladies treat her with the greatest of consideration. THE MARRIAGE OF MISS EDNA WOOD OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, TO MR.

The charming bride was given away by her father, Mr. Robert Wood. Twenty-five invited guests attended the wedding ceremony and greatly enjoyed the feasting which followed, which was prepared and served under the direction of her aunt, Mrs. Lottie Carter, of Chicago, who returned home Thursday evening. The newly married couple received many beautiful gifts, including one from her second aunt, Mrs. Jennie Johnston. The writer joins with the many friends of the bride and groom in wishing them a most safe and happy voyage on the sea of matrimony.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1923 POPULAR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT WITH FEDERAL LAWS FIXING THE QUALIFICATIONS OF ALL VOTERS. THE BRILLIANT AND CHANGEABLE POLITICAL CAREER OF COLONEL OSCAR DE PRIEST THE BRILLIANT AND CHANGEABLE POLITICAL CAREER OF COLONEL OSCAR DE PRIEST The great mass of the twelvey million colored people of the United States live south of the Ohio River. Before their emancipation, although they could not vote, three-fifths of their numbers were enumerated and included and arriving at the basis of representation in Congress. The natural progress of this great block of native Americans has been seriously hampered by many of the Southern States by all sorts of restrictions enacted for the express purpose of reducing their vote. More than one-half of the members in Congress from the Southern States are holding their places because of the elective restrictions passed by these States. Presidents have been elected because of the injustice of the electoral vote, who do not represent a majority of the people. Progress of the colored people has been impeded, they are subjected to privations unknown to other classes of our people, simply because the dominant race in the South are enabled to maintain their mastery by laws growing out of the most iniquitous systems of class legislation known to our time. Because of the Federal constitution and the intricate relations between the states and Federal Government, these restrictions have been held to be constitutional by the Supreme Court. From the beginning of civilization of man, in all forms of government, certain classes have become entrenched, either through force, religion, legislation or fear. What chance is there for the colored people of the South to emerge from their enforced subjection and inferiority, while the entrenched class hold the whip? None. What is the redress? Legislation. A change in the Federal Constitution now proposed and advocated by a great many leading Republicans and Democrats, to elect (Concluded from Page 1) to do if he felt disposed to do so. At or near that time, the writer met a dudish fellow by the name of Tony Williams, who claimed that he was from St. Louis, Mo.; that he had lived in this city for 6 months, and during that length of time he had become deputy sheriff of Cook County through the influence of Col. De Priest, that story was imparted to the writer by Tony Williams. Seemingly, Col. De Priest failed to raise his little finger to assist to nominate Hon. Harry Olson, the Deneen candidate for mayor in 1919, and up to that time he was still holding on to his thirty-five thousand dollars worth of patronage and Mayor William Hale Thompson ran clear over Judge Olson in the Second Ward, at the primaries. Then Col. Charles S. Deneen and all of his head bosses came mighty near falling from grace while they were engaged in cussing out Col. De Priest. They all joined in calling him many WHITE PRESS COMMENDS N. A. A. C. P. VICTORY IN AR- KANSAS CASES Two white newspapers, the St. Louis Missouri, Post-Dispatch and the Toledo, Ohio, Times, commend the Supreme Court's reversal of convictions of Arkansas peons, constituting a victory for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which defended the men. Says the Post-Dispatch editorially: We dissent from the doctrine of Federal interference in state cases, but there is some ground for satisfaction in the action of the United States Supreme Court, which remanded the cases of Negroes convicted of participation in the Elaine (Ark.) riots. The ground for remanding was that the Negroes were not given a fair hearing. Fourteen Negroes and five white men were killed in the rioting, which, by nearly all accounts, was started by the whites. The Arkansas formula in such cases seems to consist in hanging the Negroes who escaped the bullets. The Toledo Times says, in an editorial: In ordering fair trials for five Negroes under death sentence for murder, the Supreme Court holds that where a state has failed to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens, it is the duty of the federal court to intervene. Two dissenting judges—McReynolds and Sutherland—claimed that the effect of the decision would be to delay the just punishment of criminals, but will it? Isn't it more likely to spur state courts to conduct trials fairly in order to avoid interference on the part of the federal courts? Still admitting the contention of Justice McReynolds, we fail to see why it is sufficient grounds for the Supreme Court to withhold the protection which the constitution guarantees every American citizen. The dissenting judges claim that it is the state's duty not the federal government's, to assure a fair trial. Quite true, but what if the state neglects its duty; does that neglect deprive the citizen of his constitutional rights? Colored citizens in the President of the United States by popular vote, if properly constructed before its adoption, could liberate the colored people from their present status of disfranchisement. The trick under which the colored people have been deprived of their vote, is that provision of the Federal Constitution providing that the qualifications of the voter shall be fixed by the several states. This should be changed so that Congress would have the exclusive right to fix the qualification of voters in all the states. By all means, make the election of Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the United States by, popular vote and provide in the amendments to the Constitution of the United States that all persons born in the United States who are twenty-one years of age, are qualified voters in all elections, federal, state or any political division thereof. This amendment would do away with state legislation, limiting the qualification of voters and immediately enfranchise the five million colored voters of the South. Their political equality is the first important step in their onward march to industrial equality. Through the force of their numbers they could command equal consideration at the hands of the law-makers. What great strides they would make! With equal educational facilities and compulsory compliance with the law, with equal chance to secure political preferment and their proportionate share of political office; with opportunities for advancement now forever closed to them in some states of the South, the colored people would advance in all walks of life and with advancement would come to them greater respect and esteem of all their fellow-men and the opportunity thus afforded would be the godsend of a submerged race. very bad names and in time they removed the majority of his followers from office. The first part of December, 1919, a great harmony banquet was held at the Royal Gardens and Mayor William Hale Thompson and Col. Oscar De Priest became fast friends after feasting, and shortly after that Mayor Thompson selected Col. De Priest as one of his real estate experts, his pickings or salary amounting to ten or fifteen thousand dollars per year, so it is said, while the six thousand members of his People's movement felt that he had deserted them and had left them standing around out in the cold. It will be noted from the above that Col. De Priest has in the past flitted with many of the leading Democratic politicians, but if anyone should happen to walk up to Col. De Priest and brand him as an unwashed Democrat he would give him a good cussing out and the chances are ten to one that he would bat him in the eye. states like Arkansas where the race feeling runs high, will feel a greater sense of security in knowing that the strong arm of Uncle Sam stands between them and the prejudiced courts. MRS. BERTHA MONTGOMERY BECOMES ACTIVELY INTER- ESTED IN THE SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY CENTER. The first of last week Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, president of the Women's Permanent Republican Club of Cook County, became a part and parcel of the South Side Community Center, 32d street and South Washab avenue. There is a great deal of good that can be accomplished in that district by the women connected with that Community Center and Mrs. Montgomery is the right person in the right place. She is also one of the members of the Executive Committee of the Arthur C. Lueder campaign committee. GIVEN SURPRISE PARTY A number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, 3730 Prairie avenue, met at the residence of Scott's and tendered a big surprise party in honor of the birthday of Mr. Scott.

NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE OFFICERS TO SPEAK IN CHICAGO L. Hollingsworth Wood and Eugene Kinckle Jones, Chairman and Executive Secretary, respectively, of the National Urban League, are now on tour of the country. They will be in Chicago on Wednesday, March 21st and will speak at the New Bethel A. M. E. Church, 4200 Grand Boulevard on that date at 8:00 p. m. At this time when the migration of Negroes from the South has already begun, these gentlemen on tour will have gathered much information which will be of interest to Chicago people in this connection. They also have had opportunity to observe what has gone on in the matter of race relations in a number of cities where they have visited, investigated, and spoken. The Chicago Urban League has, for some time, had its attention upon the migration movement and through its employment department has come in contact with newcomers who have recently come to Chicago. It is at work on plans to take care of the migrants as they arrive and to make the period of their satisfactory adjustment as short as possible. To this end it is expected and hoped that the officials will be able to announce at this meeting a committee which will have general supervision of the work with migrants in the near future. It is sincerely hoped that a large crowd will greet the two principal speakers. All are welcome. There will be no solicitation of membership or funds at this meeting. 1920 reasurer of Cook County, Who at Springs, Ark., Is Doing Every- to Elect Hon. William E. Dever, 107 PED HON.

THE NEW YORK TIMES the Second Ward Who Occupied meeting at the Appomattox Club THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1923 BOOK CHAT, BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON This book was published in 1919 and is out of print but a few copies can be secured through the N. A. A. C. P., Room 621, 70 Fifth Ave., New York at $1.00 postpaid. I ran across it by chance and liked it so much that I wanted to write about it in Book Chat. The Saga is written by a white South African, one who has spent many years among the natives and has conceived the idea of reciting their story in heroic style. He tells of a conflict between two tribes; of the love of a man and a maid; and with this gives a picture of the Ethiopian in his daily life. Take this description of the women at the stream. "The women wore the Wilopi, the hide cut to three corners, behind and before; from the hips downward, they wore the Tipito—which is the full skin of a goat, dressed. "And when they came to the stream, some went up the stream and some went down; and they leaned over and took water in their pots, and then they took sand in their hands and scrapped it against the inside of the pots to clean them; then, when they had washed the outside of the pots also, that they should be pleasing to the eye, they went to holes, which had been dug in the sand, away from the place of washing, and with their calabash ladles, they scooped the water which filtered into the holes and which was cold and clean. The young girls sang and the women talked and there was much noise." It was with her bowl upon her head, returning from the stream that Mame-lubi meets Jamba, the young hero of the tale. They are separated for a time, when one chief wages war against another chief, but the lovers, unlike the lovers in many other sagas, meet again and live happily ever after. There is a description of a great duel between two warriors. Matauw and Bokalobi have been friends for many years and hold each other in esteem as brave warriors and honorable men. But the time comes when they serve different chiefs and the fortunes of war bring them face to face in conflict. "And now when they were coming together in the fight, they paused and looked straight across; and they smiled. Then Bokalobi cried aloud, 'Ho brother! Is it indeed thus we meet? Our fathers are good to us. Let nothing come between us now, Cast thou first; I am ready.' "Then Bokalobi warrior from his youth, took his casting spear and threw back his arm. His weight was upon his right foot, and the toes of his left foot touched the ground lightly before him. His left fore-arm passed through the throng-loops of his short stabbing spear. And the warrior loosened and pressed his fingers upon the haft of his casting spear so that the iron head of it quivered and sang at his ear. "Then Bokalobi raised himself well upon his right foot, and, bringing forward his weight, cast the spear." The fight goes on between the two brave men until Bokalobi receives a mortal wound. "Matauw threw his arms around his dying friend and gently laid him down and said, 'Bokalobi! Bokalobi!' And Bokalobi, the general smiled as he died for he could not speak; and Matauw's heart was glad at that smile." The description of the war dance, of the warrior's spring into the air, like some great forest animal, recalls the marvellous dance that Simango gave last winter in New York in the play, "Taboo." "The young men and warriors were in companies of tens and twenties, and then in larger companies. Their movement was like a dance, but they came swiftly on. Before each company moved a man who chanted a war song, and those behind him also joined in the chant; and he in front sometimes sprang high in the air and clashed his spears upon his shield; then in a while another from the company took up the song and lead." The interest in the Saga is sustained and its characters well drawn. It ends with a laugh: "Kamabuli (a victorious chief) laughed for he found no speech. And it was such a great laugh that the people laughed with him. All the people joined in the laugh." The book ends with one of the many African proverbs running through it "Time is no longer than a rope." John H. Simons, of the real estate firm of Simons, Pannell and Company, in Morgan Park, has just got a new Studebaker six. Mr. Simons is well known in Morgan Park and has sold more real estate there than any other person except M. T. Bailey of 3638 State street.

STUMP, THE EVER WAKEFUL AND WATCHFUL TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, STRIKES DAYTONA, FLA., IN HIS LONG SOUTHERN TOUR, WHERE HE IS TREATED POWERFULLY FINE BY MRS. MARY McLEOD BETHUNE. Daytona, Fla.-While one foot may be in the ground and the other just out, yet in my old days I am becoming more and more inspired and I thank God that I have lived to see some of the wonderful progress made by this people of mine, and it doth not yet appear all it shall be, so we must just work and work and feed our minds and souls as well as our bodies. To me this is a time of rejoicing and shouting and praising God, for I am in the midst of culture, brains, refinement and wealth. I have lived to see white folks and black folks meet on the same platform and all discuss a common problem, the problem of making humanity better, the problem of reaching the unreached, and finding a common ground on which all can meet and talk to each other and not stand apart and talk about each other. This has been accomplished by one of the most remarkable women of the age. Mary McLeod Bethune, a native of South Carolina. When it comes to color, she is as black as ever human being got to be, and is real proud of it, and when it comes to culture, refinement, education and service, she is in the front rank, and I say nothing about race or color. She is just there, and because of this she has attracted the attention of some of the best men and women of America, as well as some of the wealthiest men and women of the world. But before saying more about Mrs. Bethune, for I am going to say more, I must tell you about the best educated woman of the age who is associated with her, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, who came into the world via New York route, attended the public school and then to college. She has been trained in some of the best institutions of the East, and then has associated with culture, with brains, with all that goes to make up the higher manhood and womanhood all of her present and past days. She conversed with Homen Elizabeth Browning, Goethe, Miltides, Milton, Bumyan—walked through Greece, Rome and England, talking with Harold. She knows Plato, Aristotle, David and Isaiah, just like she knows those who are walking around here now, and best of all, she knows Jesus both experimentally and theoretically. She is just a walking body of knowledge, and all of that is being used for the development of our own. Instead of sitting down in New York on her ability and taking it to the grave with her, she heard the cry in Florida, came down here, spent some time in the state school at Tallahassee, and in 1912 joined Mrs. Bethune in this wonderful work down here. She is now a woman of words. To look at her you would not be impressed, but just let her open her mouth and you will at once see that an unusual woman is speaking. She has walked with Jesus, and is doing a great work. She deserves all I have said about her and more. Now, to what I am doing here. I am here to witness and did witness the dedication of a dormitory for girls at the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute, which cost just $65,000, and this school is strictly for girls, and is the brain work of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. I am going to tell you as much as I can about it this week, because I feel it will be an inspiration to our young people. Those who have graduated from high schools in the north, from colleges in the same part of our common country, still sitting around complaining about race prejudice, when there is something for us all to do. The people down here are crying for them. Mrs. Bethune is the daughter of parents who were slaves, and she came into the world at a time when they were living in a three-room log cabin about five miles from Mayesville, S. C., and it is almost as hard to find Mayesville as it is to find the five miles, for both are obscure. Her parents heard the words of God, "Go forth, multiply and replenish the earth," for they gave just 17 children to the world and that is what I call multiplication. Don't you? This girl had heard of women of her race who were doing things. She heard of Frances Ellen Harper, Sojourney Truth, Phyllis Wheatley and others which caused her to resolve to put herself in position where God could use her in His cause. She was trained in the Presbyterian Mission School at Mayesville, Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C., and taking on the finishing touch at Moody Bible Training School, Chicago, and then dedicated her life to service, saying, "Here I am, Lord, direct me in Thy cause." A noble spirit. This is the kind of life that counts. Mrs. Bethune did not place herself in the hands of God and then seek to be a society dudelet in the north, but she followed His direction, came to Florida with faith in God, grit and a desire to do His will, and $1.50 in cash and made known that she desired to establish a training school for girls, because so many through ignorance, litteracy and lack of vision were going down. They were precious and God needed them in His service. Busy hands and right thinking dawned upon her as the things most needed. Some of the white people declared she was direct from Africa, but saw in her an unusual woman and to took in her suggestions, one little building was erected, then another, and now they are putting up substantial buildings, including this one, and one erected in 1918 and dedicated by Vice-President of the United States, Thomas R. Marshall. Here they have twenty acres of land, buildings, and the most attractive building now, the one that is doing so much for humanity, is the McLeod hospital. It is a modern equipped building, a modern operating room, nurses are trained and in charge is Miss Rachel Ethelyn McMillan, R. N., a native of South Carolina, and a graduate from Freedman Hospital and Nurse Training School, and I tell you it means something to have R. N. behind your name in this age. You are just the IT in your profession. Back to the hospital, it is serving the community, it is filling a much needed place here and the people are loud in praising Mrs. Bethune. She will live in the hearts of the people, and she will be one of the noted women in history—in fact, she is now, but she is still walking this earth. I compare her service with that of the late Booker T. Washinton. Speaking of Booker T. Washington, his widow is right here now, and I am sure you know her; you know her service and worth to humanity. She is filling an important place in this world of ours. Some years ago the white women of Daytona called her to this city for a conference, to find out what they could do to help our people, to help to save our girls, and as a result soon we have the Mrs. Bethune at work. Mrs. Washington prayed and God heard her prayer by directing the woman who wanted to serve. Now she is here to see the dedication of a building to advise with this great woman, and we find here Dr. Julia H. P. Coleman, Mrs. Addie Dickerson and Miss Amie Chadrick, of Atlanta, while Dr. Coleman is from Washington and Mrs. Dickerson from Philadelphia. Just a word or so about Mrs. Washington. She comes from the old school. She entered the world via Mississippi, but her parents believed in proper training, hence through their parental care and then a thorough education we have a woman who is serving this country of ours. She is just doing things, and right now she is president of an organization which is going to make the world take notice, "The International Council of Women of the Darker Races of the World." Have you heard of this organization? I am going to tell you all about it in another letter. I do not want to get away from this school here and the work of Mrs. Bethune. They have a full grown farm or truck garden and they are producing vegetables of various kinds, strawberries, chickens, and, it goes without saying that the hens are liberal in their contribution to the cause; pigs, corn, many tons of hay and fodder. I am told that they produced over 350 gallons of syrup this year used by the school and community. They use the farm products to help to feed the students, and furnish food for the stock. Now you know this woman is using her head for something more than a hat rack. The farm is always at work, for during vacations it is supplying tomatoes, okra, beans and other things which are canned for the school term. I have made it to this place, and I tell you I am proud of it. You will have to wait for my next letter to tell you other things, for this is as much as you can stand this week. I have lots of inspiration this week, but will bring this letter to a stop and talk about dedication in my next. Last Sunday morning was the beginning of our Easter Revival. The congregation was unusually large. The pastor preached the 3rd subject in his series of sermons, "The Social Ministry of Jesus." Our great revival is going on and will go on until Easter.
