The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Echoes and Re-echoes of the Late Mayoralty Contest in Chicago, as Stated Last Week in These Columns, That Thirty to Thirty-Five Thousand Colored Men and Women, Freely Voted the Democratic Ticket; That the Democrats Should Reward the Colored People by Selecting a Representative Colored Man or Woman for Member of the Board of Education.

NEAR THE END OF THE FALL ELECTION IN 1922 JULIUS F. TAYLOR CAME IN CONTACT WITH MR. SULLIVAN, ONE OF THE HIGH CHIEFS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THIS CITY, WHO CLAIMED THAT HE WAS FROM THE SOUTH, THAT "HE KNEW ALL ABOUT THE COLORED PEOPLE, THAT HE WOULD NOT EXPEND ONE DOLLAR IN THE WAY OF ADVERTISING THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IN THE COLUMNS OF THE BROAD AX."

EXPEND THE WAY OF A DEMOCRATIC THE COLUMNS AX." Ten days prior to the late mayoral election in this city not one of the high captains of the Democratic party ever dreamed that the vast majority of the colored people residing in the Second and Third Wards would vote in favor of wiping out the large majorities which those wards were carried by Mayor William Hale Thompson in 1919, his majority being more than twelve thousand majority in the Second Ward without saying anything about the Third Ward and on April 3, transferring those two wards over into the Democratic columns, the Second Ward giving the Hon. William E. Dever almost five thousand majority and the Third Ward trailing along with more than two thousand majority for the Democrats and the vast majority of the colored people residing in all parts of the city also voting for the Democrats was more than enough to cause the leading Democrats to fall down stone dead. As far as the colored people, were concerned it made not the slightest difference to them whether Col. Oscar --- De Priest who generally walks with both of his hands on his broad political back, who always wears a coat containing many changeable political stripes and his late bosom pal, Bishop Archibald James Carey, who is a fine gentleman whom we would not trust politically any further than we could heave a bob-tailed bull by the tail, delivered any speeches for the Democrats or not, for long before either one of them had appeared on the scenes the great army of colored men and women voters residing in all sections of this city had firmly made up their minds to vote the Republicans out of power on Tuesday, April 3, for the many short comings on the part of the leaders of the Grand Old Party. It is therefore, just as plain as your nose on your face that not less than thirty-five thousand colored men and women voters went all the way with the Democrats on Tuesday election day and it is now up to the Democrats to go all the way with the colored people who so loyally stood by them when they were eagerly seeking votes THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 INF Former United States Senator from Illinois As One of Its Most Distinguished Members; He Worked and Voted Against the African Exclusion Bill; As the Whip of the Senate, He Fought Down and Defeated All of the "Jim Crow" Legislation Introduced in the Upper House of Congress, Which Was Intended to Circumscribe the Civil and the Political Rights of the Colored People in This Country. for the Hon. William E. Dever and his worthy running associates. Without any delay or beating around the bush, the Democrats should willingly select a high class colored man or woman as a member of the Board of Education—some one who is not a politician who would reflect undying credit upon both the white and colored people alike, many other capable and highly respectable tax-paying colored men and women should be selected by the Democrats to fill many important positions in the City Hall and in all of the other offices which are under the absolute control of the Democrats. The Democrats should further act on the square with the colored people and in 1924 nominate a first class colored lawyer to make the race for one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. If the leading Democrats will adhere to our plain and simple or matter of fact suggestions, they will find that thirty-five thousand colored men and women will assist to uphold their hands at the next election to be held within the confines of this city and within the borders of the grand old State of Illinois. MR. SULLIVAN One week before the close of the election in Cook county in 1922, the writer ran into the Honorable Bartley Berg, who had ably served as one of the leading Democratic County Commissioners for some years and we reminded him that it would be very advisable for him to do some advertising in the columns of The Broad AX, as he was a candidate for re-election; that he had always been treated fairly in its columns. He said that "he his advertisement to appear in the columns of this newspaper Saturday November 4, 1922. Later on that same day we located Mr. Sullivan at the Sherman House, but failing to remove our hat when we approached him he looked at us rather cross after we had stated to him what Mr. Berg had said to us in relation to advertising in The Broad AX. Mr. Sullivan simply asserted that "he was from the South; that he knew the colored people and that he would not spend one dollar of The Berg's money for advertising in The Broad AX," and, come to think of it, Mr. Berg was defeated in his race for re-election as one of the commissioners of Cook county.

He said that "he would be delighted to do so; that he had paid all of his money for newspaper advertising into the hands of the managers of the Democratic committee of Cook county and to see Mr. Sullivan who held forth at the Sherman House, who was in charge of the newspaper advertising and inform him that he, Mr. Berg, would like to have his advertisement to appear in the columns of this newspaper Saturday, November 4, 1922.

At that same election hundreds and hundreds of dollars were freely paid out to all kinds of so-called white editors of newspapers, but it was considered a great crime to cough up 40 or 50 dollars to any colored newspaper editor for services well rendered. Until the head leaders of the Democratic party in this city learn to treat the colored newspaper editors more fairly they cannot reasonably expect them to do a great deal of loud shouting for them. HON. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS HAS NEVER ASSERTED NOR CONTENDED THAT THIS IS "A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY OR GOVERNMENT, AND THAT THE COLORED MAN OR THE COLORED PEOPLE CAN NEVER BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART AND PARCEL OF IT." IN THE PAST SENATOR LEWIS HAS ASSUMED A BOLD STAND IN FAVOR OF BETTER TREATMENT FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE. HE HAS SECURED MANY GOOD POSITIONS FOR THEM IN MANY PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY.

THE FOLLOWING LETTER OR COMMUNICATION SPEAKS FOR IT-SELF: LEWIS, FOLSOM, ASAY AND STREETER LAW OFFICES 105 West Monroe Street Chicago ward for anything I ever did.—I can have no motive in any reply but the hope of the continuance of the friendships so long existing between myself and the Negro citizens of this city. April 11, 1923 To Julius F. Taylor, Editor, The Broad Ax, Chicago, Illinois. Now in the calm, after the heat of a political campaign, I beg to ask the publishing by you of this letter from me. You may charge me for it as an advertisement,—if your policy will not permit the publication as a communication. I beg to say, that in the recent city contest for Mayor, circulars and publications were issued in the heat of conflict from colored political sources, charging me with saying in public speeches, while I was running for Governor that "this was a white man's country, and a Negro had no political rights"—and as pledging myself "against any opportunity for equality of chances in life for Negroes." I must now have the colored readers know that as I am not now a candidate for any office—nor do I seek any office—and as I never have asked the colored people for a vote or any re- ward for anything I ever did,—I can have no motive in any reply but the hope of the continuance of the friendships so long existing between myself and the Negro citizens of this city. I never at any time, anywhere, ever uttered so narrow a point of view—to say that this United States was a white man's country, and the Negro had no political rights. In the political contest of 1920, where I was a candidate for Governor—referring to the testimony given in the Republican primary vote contests for nomination for Governor in this city, I said that the testimony showed that white Republican voters were denied any representation or the privilege of voting in the polling districts. I referred to the relative weight of white and colored officials in office in the city, and there, of that majority and minority, I said "that I laid down the text that this city was a white man's government. Never did I say the United States was only a white man's country. By the same comparison as I made of officials—black and white—in power in Chicago, it should be said that Liberia is a black man's government—though it is the government of any man residing there.

I beg you to look to my record. Though a Southerner (born and bred), my troubles at the two colleges I attended were in the first instance because of the fight I made for opportunities for ‘Negro education by the SAME POL- IC¥ of ‘learning extended to the whites. Then, after I moved from the South to the Western State of Wash- ington—thére to begin the practice of law—my first fight as a member of * upper house of the Legislature for a Republican lawyer, Attorney Hawkins (colored).

Then it was, as Whip of the Senate, I led the fight against the provision brought in dur- ing the war to prevent Negroes from being officers. of regiments of Ne- ‘grocs. This measure was not brought . by Democrats—but was beaten by Democrats and Republicans. Then, later, I had to fight Democrats to de- feat the measure prohibiting Negroes from coming to the United States. I beat this by parliamentary tactics, and was sustained by Republicans and Democrats.

HAMILTON LEWIS. , te + In the past, much discussion was created, relative to some statements, which were. supposed to have been made by the Hon: James Hamilton Lewis, in, reference to the colored people at the time he was a candidate for governor of this state in 1920. “That this is a white man’s country or government,” and that the colored man or the colored people cannot be seriously considered as an important factor in its civil or political affairs. Over his own ‘signature, Senator Lewis plainly sets forth the facts, just what he did say at that, time, $0 that the world can read it. It must be said, to the everlasting credit of Sen- ator Lewis, that for five or six years, he employed a bright young colored man, by the name of Burns, in his extensive suite of law offices, which were then located in the old Com- mercial National “Bank Building. Failing: health forced Mr. Burns to give up his position with Senator Lewis, who held him in the highest esteem and who was highly respected by all of the associated of Senator Lewis. Tt will be recalled that in Novem- ber, 1906, at the meeting in Orchestra Hall, which was addressed by the late United States- Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Lewis refused to introduce Senator Tillman or to preside over his meet- jing, Senator Lewis stating at that ‘time, that he was not in favor of any- fone coming to this city to stir up bitter strife between -the white and colored people.

Kidney, ‘one of Pittsburgh's leading lawyers, and a leader of the church arose and ordered the intruders to leave the church immediately, but they seemed not to heed his command as quickly ashe thought. they should and he again said, “Get out and be quick about it.” Immediately the pastor, Rev.

You will be perfectly welcome to remain if you Femove your disguises, otherwise you must go.” + ‘The klansmen came to a halt, their fine broke and they slowly retraced their steps toward the church door. Attorney Kidney jumped to his fect and followed the marauders outside of the church and snatched the regalia off the leader who fled to a waiting automobile parked in front of the church. Attorney Kidney succeeded in unmasking five others before they got into their machines: He then took the klan parapharmalia he had secured to the police station as well as the numbers on the license tags of the automobiles of the Klans- ‘men.

It contains selections to be- used at entertainments, churches, schools and socials. At the back, sug- gestiong are given for celebrations for Thankaiving, Memorial Day, Eman cipation Day. and Lincoln-Douglass celebrations, With these programs is suggested music. The compiler adds “It is hoped that teachers will suggest to their schools other programs which will show to ‘the boys and girls the wide range of the writings of the men and women of their own race.” 1 confess to’ having been deeply thrilled by turning ever the pages of this volume. It took me batk to the days when I myself used to recite at school and church entertainments. 1 found “How He Saved St. Michaels," fone of my especial favorites. ‘There are familiar poems by Whittier, Pierrepont, Bryant, as well as by a host of able colored writers. Each se- lection is carefully chosen with regard to its value from the viewpoint of the spoken word, Among the orations is one called “Dessalines” which I doubt is. very familiar to others but is new to me, “What have these Franks,” Dessalines says, “that we are their houschold chattels—that we are their beasts? They suffer from the heat more than we, their sight is less keen, the even- ing dews hasten theni to their graves and the noonday's sun finds them un- der cover. The very fibres of thei frames are weak and puny, and, as the gods allotted labor for the part of man, they must depend on us to carry out the law.” And he ends with this battle cry, “If you will be brutes, be lions.” This is followed by perhaps the most striking bit in all fiction relating to the Negro since “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” the story of “The Sisters” from Chestnutt’s “The Marrow of Tradi eons One would love to hear Mrs. Dunbar-Nelson’ herself recite this story. _ For humor we have Dunbar, James W.

B. Wadley | Whomsoever follow after Christ and his teaching are “Christians.” But those that follow after the devil are “devilians.” The people that have their names on the church books and profess to be Christians, and a sinner that knows his devil, and takes no part in the ‘teaching of Christ. ‘Those are the ‘ones to blame for all the sins in the land. is A race or a nation’s civilization are their religion; The Jew, Chinese, all depend on their religion for their civ- ilization, even the Mohammedan faith, brotherhood of man, and Fatherhood of GOD. So many people think that wealth, gold, silver, and inventions makes civ- ilization, instead of religion. The Rev. Dr. Stickney Grant, pas- tor of the Church ofthe Ascension, New York City, has declared that there was no Adam nor Eve; these characters of the Bible were myths, Moses was an inspired writer to whom GOD revealed those things. Darwin has only theory. Now, if he, or anyone else the follower of Dar- win teaching their religion are “Dar- winianity,” Another new word for the dictionary. ¥ “Next in line” our scientific men that have theories and no proof what- ever contrary to the teaching of the Scripture, should not be classed with the Christians: also.

Darwin must have seen all parts of the devil, if he was tragic. I quote in its entirety one of the tragic: poems that I am glad to kngw has been saved for us in this collection” which runs as follows: “BELGIUM Four years ago ‘They took our young chief And led him away. : Stalwart he was, As strong as the water bull, As beautiful to look upon As. the tampa tree“in the first dew of the morning. Him the Belgians took and led away. Captive for the rubber crew. A sickness came upon our tribe, A ‘sickness laid our men low, And killed our women; nf there were none to gather rubbe: And when the Belgians came ‘There was no rubber to give them And: they grew angry, the Belgians, ‘And sent back to us Shenzi Khanga, Him, whom they held as hostage. He came back, but not he that went forth: Never more would Shenzi Khanga hunt the fierce water bull; Never more would Shenzi Khanga Gaze on the fair Askaris maidens. Back came Shenzi Khanga, His arms but useless stumps, And his eyeballs seared with the red hot iron; ‘Then ‘we saw and were sorry and wept. Today they tell us of a great fight In the land of the white men; They tellus of a curse, a curse fallen On Belgium, the land of our op- “| pressors; They tell us of invading armies, ruth- Jess and cruel; They cry of homes burned, of men and women slaughtered; Of women, hunted and ravished and Killed. So we look about us At the blackened ruins of our huts; At the thinned numbers of our tribe, And at Shenzi Khanga; « Andswe hasten to him and gather about him and tell him ‘The ‘news from the North. Shenzi Khanga. hears, And raioDh his face with the useless © eyes, ©. And lifts the useless stumps, And Shenzi Khanga Laughs! ps living now, I am sure he would see his followers “devilians.” So GOD has no respect of person, and when any one says or acts as superior to any human being, then he has no part of Christ's teaching, “he is a devifian” and his ‘religion is “De~ vilianity.” .

MINISTERS TELL AUTHOR ITIES WHY NEGROES LEAVE THE SOUTH Memphis, Tenn.—A committee of Negro ministers representing the Inter-Denominational Ministers' Alliance filed a lengthy memorandum with the Welfare Department of the Chamber of Commerce recently. The officials of the Chamber of Commerce have been very anxious concerning the Negro labor supply which has been dwindling because of the recent migration of Negroes, and they have asked the help of the ministers in influencing the Negroes to stay in the South. The ministers suggest that their hands are hampered as long as conditions in the South remain as they are. They cited two recent unwarranted killings of Negroes on Scott Street. They claim that officers unlawfully search Negro homes. On one such occasion, a Negro told the officers that they had no right to enter his home without a warrant and that he would protect his home against invasion. The police paid no attention to his statement and forced their way into his house. One officer was killed and another wounded. A riot call was sent in and the Negro was killed. Following this, several homes were entered by officers, evidently for striking terror into the hearts and PETER H. HON. ARTHUR C. LUEDER Successful Republican Candidate Who Has Been Reappointed Post in the Future He Will Strive to Price for All of Its Citizens. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 14:1923 minds of Negroes. Two other killings occurred that same night. These unjust outrages were followed by the exodus of several hundred Negro families. One minister is reported to have said, "I believe that I voice the sentiment of every well-meaning Negro in the South when I say that Negroes naturally love the South, but they are human, cannot and will not tolerate police oppression, Ku Kluxism and lynching." TO HOLD CONFERENCE The Chicago Carter Charity and Benevolent Club No. 1 of which Mme Ezella M. Carter is chairman, Miss Erna Nelson, president and W. P. Rhetta secretary is calling a very important conference on the "Boy Problem" at the International Baptist Church, 438 E. 37th St., of which Rev W. M. Bennett is pastor. The meeting will be held on April 20th at 8 p. m. Dr. W. D. Ford will be the principal speaker followed by a symposium. Special music. Public invited. MUCH IMPROVED Mrs. Estelle Williams, 3645 Prairie avenue, who has been quite ill and confined to her bed, is very much improved under the care of Dr. D. H. Williams. COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT OF THE BROAD AX, WHO HAS BEEN HOLDING FORTH AT JACKSONVILLE, FLA., FOR SOME TIME WHERE HE HAS FEASTED ON THE BEST IN THE LAND. Jacksonville, Florida—The devil is feasting daily from the caras of educated damphules, and here and there you will find a candidate for the position of devil feeder, and I am now asking in my mind whether or not Prof. William Pickens, of educated fame is trying to cheat some other fellow out of the job. Let us hope and pray that he has been misunderstood, that he is not educated away from the Bible, but closer to it. It is going the rounds that this scholarly gentleman, the man of letters, the man who has gone through some of the great American Universities, has said that there is no hell, that the Jonah story is a joke or something like that, and several other things in the Bible which he has placed a question mark behind it, and is telling to the world that they do not come up to his ideal, or ideas of things. If he is saying such, and if he has that kind of stuff in his knowledge bump, he had better get it out, and if he fails the hell is his abiding place and the devil his boon companion. I can only say to him farewell, and when he makes his exit, I would like for him to leave his address that I may tell others where to reach him with a communication. I wonder when Dean Pickens was teaching in Wiley University, Talladega college, and other religious institutions whether or not he taught that kind of doctrine to the young people, and if he did and they heard him, then we have some more of them kind of things. You see he has been a joiner, and I think at last he joined the A. M. E. church, declaring that it was just the place for him. But I may be mistaken about that, but I do know that he is not responsible to any church now for the National Association invites saints and sinners all around to tell what a dear Savior they have found. It is not a church organization, but the two races combine in this to do good. Let us hope and pray that there is a mistake about this Tommy Rot, and help us to do good. We have no representative men and women to lose. God grant that all is well. I note that the world continues to move, and people are moving in it, some are helping it to become greater, and man is growing more and more each day like his Creator. That is man was made in the image of God, and then he had a fall which smashed him completely, and he is gradually being restored to that likeness, hence he is doing wonderful things. He is reaching out his hand and getting his brother, helping him to rise. I have in mind now and I have been associating with him, who is doing that very thing, Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore, Maryland. God help us to realize what greatness we have in him. Man's greatness depends on how much God he gets in him or how well he tunes his mind in harmony with God. Like Enoch, I believe Bishop Hurst has walked with God. Realizing his worth and ability in 1912, the general conference held in Kansas City, Mo., elected him to the episcopacy, and made John R. Hawkins his successor. Bishop Hurst was assigned to a district that no other bishop wanted because it was in a heluva fix. Men of Florida had their hands in each others throats, and a bishop sent down here felt like he is being sent to eternal punishment. Bishop Hurst when he heard his assignment, realized that it was a man's job and he asked God to go with him, or let Jesus accompany him to the place where work had to be done. Reaching here he not only found the state divided into factions, but he found a school, Edward Waters college without credit, and people laughing at the efforts. Business houses looked upon it as a playhouse and would not grant five cents worth or credit. The debts were many and large. Bishop Hurst preached his first sermon which went something like, this in text: "I came to know nothing among you brethren save Jesus Christ." He was sought by each faction, but it was soon discovered that his life and action was in keeping with his sermon, and the contending forces as they fell in opposition to the plans for advancement they found their heads in the guillotine, and off fell a head. The Rev. John Dixon, one of the leaders found that he was against a man, and fell in line. Dr. John A. Gregg, a graduate from the University of Kansas, and is now slated for the episcopacy was called into the college as president, by Bishop Hurst, and the school began to grow, credit was restored and now it is one of the greatest institutions in the country. Business men seek the officials of the school and tell them they can have all the credit they desire. The grad- uates are recognized by the state, to the extent they get certificates for life to teach in the state on finishing. Real school men are here. Prof. John C. Wright is president of the Edward Waters college, and there is a man Dean by the name of Sampson, and there is another great man dean of the theological department, Dr. Thomas W. Carter, and he knows his business, and there is another dean at the head of the tailoring department and Miss Grace Brewer, a scholar and thinker' is dean of women. I have been there and have looked on the great work and I am now calling myself DEAN STUMP, and dean of the lookers on and saying let the good work continue, for this is truly a man making machine. Disgruntls dare nto poke up their heads now, but join in the triumphant march. During the past year new members have been added to the church, and the ministers have placed on the table at this round of conference which closes here tomorrow (Sunday) night amounts as follows: Dollar Money, $33,197.44; and other moneys, Drive, $23,556.55; Missionary, $18,351.13; Contingent, $2,465.50; Educational, $33,677.63; League, $428; Minute, $900; General Conference Delegate, $2,400; Subscriptions to Church papers, $1,240; Total, $116,216.25, and I am sure you will help them sing Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, for the Dollar Money increase was $2,100 and all of this is the work of just 12 months. These figures were furnished me by the accountant, the Rev. Dr. R. W. Whitehurst, who is an expert, and a good preacher, and you may put it down that I told you so, that some day he will be the financial secretary of the A.M.E.'church, and will follow right in the foot steps of that great financier, Prof. John R. Hawkins, who will be elected his own successor May, 1924 by unanimous vote. I do not worship men, but I want to give them what is due them, and I want to here say that Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, the wife of the bishop, has contributed much to his success. She is a wonderful woman, and a worker. God give us more like her. She is educated, refined and cultured, and her hand goes out to the young womanhood helping them to the higher places in life. She makes heart to heart talks to mothers as well as to daughters and sisters, and wives. "Parson" Tooks was elected at the head of his delegation, and I believe that there was a conference or two from Georgia to see how it was done, and they are now making terms with Dr. Tooks, who is managing the campaign for Dr. R. A. Grant, and he has declared that this young man shall go to the bench in 1924, and Georgia has said Amen to it. Tooks is a campaigner and a man of wonderful power. He is president of the connectional council, and a presiding elder of ability. He will be chairman of the Florida delegation to the general conference. If Florida can get a bishop in the church, then other places may go up Salt River, and that will mean Rev. S. J. Johnson, church extension, Noah Williams, of Louisville, KY, missionary secretary; G. W. Allen, editor of Southern Christian Recorder, J. C. Caldwell, secretary Allen Christian Endaye League; D. M. Baxter, manager A.M.E. Book Concern, and others I will have to tell you about later. Now let us look at John A. Gregg as bishop, and in the same line Dr. R. C. Ransom, will fall, Drs. M. W. Thornton, A. L. Gaines, Charles Sumner Williams, and some others I will talk about later. Do you know Charles Sumner Williams, pastor of Bethel A.M.E. church, Indianapolis? He is a great preacher and a great big man in heart, soul and mind. The Baptist laymen and ministers and leaders have been called in conference for one day in Memphis, Tenn., by Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist convention. This is done to come to direct agreement on the work to be done by the convention and to get a real working program. Work must be done, has been the slogan, and the National Baptist convention is not to longer be a pauper organization, but will be in position to get out of debt and stay out. Have you been to Nashville, Tenn? That great building is being up as fast as possible, and you will believe me when I tell you them Baptists are going to have one more publishing house. Well, there are enough of them to do it. They have been inspired by the African Methodist, and believe me, that Ira T. Bryant is a hustler and a business man on the Methodist side, and Dr. A. M. Townsend is a hustler on the Baptist side, and hustling is going on right now. Dr. W. H. Jernagin has issued the official call for the National Race Congress and all you people with any kind of Race Love must be there. Now is the time for action. You must get your plans well in hand before the National political conventions are held. Have we had a fair deal under President Harding? This is a question that will come up, and you be there to express your views and then hear from other conservative men of our race. Will we tell him to continue at the bat? What about the Republican Senate and Senators? Keep in mind that there must be big doings at the meeting to be held in Mt. Carmel Baptist church, commencing with a sermon at 8 o'clock May 2 and a business session May 3. Bishop I. N. Ross will preach the sermon. Well I am not well, but just a little better. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. Keep up with me. I am going into Georgia for a few hours, and look out for my next letter from Georgia. CHARLES E. STUMP. LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO CONTINUES TO INCREASE ITS DEPOSITS If the many readers of this paper will glance over the report of the condition of the Lincoln State Bank of Chicago, at the close of business, April 3, 1923, they will learn that its increase in deposits from December 29, 1922 until April 3, amounted to more than one hundred thousand dollars. The report referred to shows that the Lincoln State Bank is in a healthy financial condition and that nothing can stop nor prevent its onward march in the banking world. PREPARE FOR ANNUAL MEET The various councils of A. U. K. & D. of A. and the military department under supervision of Mrs. Eliza Jackson as state grand queen and Col. Jas. B. McCall as commander, are making great preparations for the coming annual encampment to be held in August at St. Louis, Mo. LEAVING FOR BOSTON Mrs. J. A. Brockett, vice-president of Giles Charity Club is soon to leave for Boston, Mass., to take up future residence. The Club is tendering a farewell reception in honor of Mrs. Brockett at the home of Mrs. Bertha Lumpkins, 4533 Prairie avenue. Blooming of Century Plant. Contrary to popular belief the century plant (Agave Americana) blossoms once in eight years in most cases, and not every hundred years, as many have been led to believe. A central shoot nearly 20 feet high often bears as many as 4,000 blossoms. Those growing in greenhouses or under artificial conditions do not bloom so often as those growing naturally. Famous French Theater. The Theater Francaise, the most famous theater in Paris, France, and, perhaps, in the world, is situated in the Place du Palais Royal, and is the home of the Comedie Francaise. In 1900 it was destroyed by fire, but immediately rebuilt. The original building was erected in 1782, but was later much altered. He Was Late. The portrait painter entered. "Tm Mr. Daubins, sir," he said. "I have come by appointment to paint your wife." "Indeed," remarked Mr. Crableigh, "I'm afraid you're late. It's already 11 o'clock, and she's usually all painted by 10 and ready to go out." Course of the Suwance River The Swinewater river, celebrated in the song, "Old Folks at Home," rises in the Okefinke swamp in south Georgia and flows southwest through Florida, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico 12 miles north of Cedar Keys, after a course of 240 miles. Personal Equation Counts Personal Equation Counts. It is much more important for an individual to be able to recog and make allowances for the final equation than to know all about hydrogen atoms or some other physical fact.—Dr. Harry W. Overstreet. The Antiseptic Orange The discovery of the antiseptic value of the orange was made soon after its introduction into England, for Cavendish says Cardinal Wolsey was wont to carry "a fair orange, filled with a sponge of vinegar against pestilence."

Designs of Gold and Silver Here to Stay The charms of silver and gold, as applied to dress, show no signs of abatement. At first we took the application of metal to our gowns with more or less amusement and not the least show of seriousness. We used it in a spirit of indulgence. Then we began to see how really distinguished our gowns appeared. Now, as we look about at the passing winter styles and the coming ones for spring, we see innumerable touches of metal and some frocks and costumes made solely of this material. Metal stuffs are charming in many more ways than one. They have a way of touching up a dress whenever so little a quantity is used so that it looks much more worthy of public attention than it did before the glittering trimming was added. They need no trimmings. They cannot stand extra decorations. They are sufficient in themselves. During the last winter the best-dressed women in New York wore metal frocks for evening. One was able to pick them out as the most stunning of all the women in any room full of people. And in every instance the metal gowns were made so that their own materials were the center and the all of the gown's design. Now that the spring styles are being shown at the American designers' places, we see these metal materials appearing constantly in the collections—sure proof that the style is not going to lay down in its hands just because spring is here, but that it has decided to go right on with its expression. Bright Turban Should Grace the Dark Suit Turbans of brilliant brocades go nicely with the darker and more conservative types of suits, observes a Paris fashion writer. Then there are the little blocked felt and straw hats that have those mushroom brims and turn down all the way around. They are sometimes trimmed with flat masses of embroidery, and again they show wide and spreading bows of ribbon on one side, and again they have bunches of flowers massed together either across the front or in a specified place at one side. Lace and lace vells are used for trimming many of the little hats that are to be placed in a more dressy class. They are done in the color of the hat, either black or white or brown or tan or gray, as the case may be. Not much of the lace is done in any brighter tones. Colors for the spring will be green and all shades of tan and gray, with some touches of red and orange. These, when used carefully, are the things that will help the American woman to express the sort of fashions which are her natural bent. Shoe Buckle Ornaments Must Have the Fringe Buckle ornaments for spring are not complete without their accompanying fringe, and the character of this appendage is quite different from that we have known in the past. Metal plays an important part, and one finds it worked in chaplet effect with beads of various outlines. A great deal of lapfs blue is shown, and one number of this sort introducing a deep fringes of blue beads combined with long back bugles that drop from a decorative buckle of black galalith. Striped beads add an odd effect to many of these novelites. Buckles that are in great demand include some entirely new treatments in which is an inalid bronze effect. One of these is a striking peacock figure in brilliant colors inserted on the metal base. History Classed as Satire. History is properly nothing else but a satire on humanity.—C. J. Weber.

High Civilization in Yucatan. High Civilization in Yucatan. Yucatan is "the Egypt of America." As early as the beginning of the Christian era the people there built stone structures of excellent masonry, true angles and smooth, vertical faces.

In 1492, the Santa Maria, a Spanish vessel under the command of Christopher Columbus, traversed the ocean in 70 days. Some historians say that the Atlantic between Norway and Greenland was crossed by Norwegian sailors before the year 1000.
