EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Col. Oscar DePriest and His Tricky Associates at the November Election in 1912, Come Within One Hundred and Sixty-Two Votes of Carrying the Second Ward for Col. Maclay Hoyne, Democrat for State's Attorney of Cook County. PRIOR TO THAT ELECTION IN 1912 HON. J. GRAY LUCAS WORKED VERY HARD FOR THE SUCCESS OF COL. HOYNE AT THE POLLS DELIVERING MANY TELLING SPEECHES FOR HIM IN ALL PARTS OF THIS CITY WITH SOME KIND OF AN UNDERSTANDING THAT HE WOULD LAND IN A POSITION IN THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN CASE COL. HOYNE WON OUT AT THE ELECTION. ON THE OTHER HAND MR. EDWARD E. WILSON, WHO WAS AT THAT TIME THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY FOR COL. DE PRIEST AND ONE OF THE HIGH OFFICIALS OF THE SECOND WARD REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION, WHO DID NOT DELIVER ONE SPEECH NOR EVEN RAISE HIS LITTLE FINGER TO AID IN THE ELECTION OF COL. HOYNE IN ANY MANNER OF FORM. NOTWITHSTANDING THAT FACT THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF THE LATE LAMENTED MAJOR JOHN C. BUCKNER, COL. DE PRIEST, ALDERMAN AL TEARNEY, MR. WILSON WAS PLACED IN THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND MR. LUCAS WHO WAS HIGHLY ENDORSED BY MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON AND FORMER MAYOR EDWARD F. DUNNE, WAS BRUSHED ASIDE AND HE WAS GIVEN THE LOUD HORSE LAUGH BY COL. DE PRIEST AND HIS CROWD, THEY STRONGLY INTIMATING THAT "NO COLORED MAN HAD THE MORAL RIGHT TO BE A 'NIGGER' DEMOCRAT." LATER ON COL. HOYNE, IN HIS FAMOUS DRIVE AGAINST COL. DEPRIEST IN THE CRIMINAL COURT FORCED COL. WILSON TO BRAND COL. DE PRIEST "AS THE LORD MAYOR OF CRAPVILLE." Right on the start we wish to state that it is no pleasure to us to turn the searchlight of the past on Col. DePriest and Bishop Archibald James Carey, who seems to be like his old time pal, Col. DePriest, double-tongued, double-minded, double-hearted, and double-faced, for every time that we turn the electric light on them some of their blind and short sighted followers rile up and endeavor in every way that they possibly can to roll up all the enemies they can against this newspaper but the rare empty headed birds who worship at the big feet of Bishop Archibald James Carey and Col. DePriest, must learn this one undisputed fact namely, that it is the high mission of the newspaper to drive back to the rear whisky drinking and immoral preachers, those who delight to have a good time with the dead game sports and with the ungodly and that class of rough house politicians who for money are A.

It is that class of Bible pounders and changeable and cooked politicians who must be unhorsed in order to clear the way so that highly decent and honest men can force their way to the front as the true leadings of the colored race in America. Several weeks ago, one of the white speakers at the Eighth Regiment Armory at the time that Col. DePriest and his spiritual adviser, Bishop Archibald James Carey, gave their grand blow out, the white speaker compared Col. DePriest to the immortal Fredrick Douglass, which was the cruelest and most deadly blow that Mr. Douglass ever received for there is no more comparison between Col. DePriest and Mr. Douglass than there is between the smallest ant and the largest elephant which roams through the wilds of Africa. Mr. Douglass was always consistent in politics; he always contended that the "Republican party was the ship, all else the sea." Mr. Douglass always used the best words in the English language while conversing with any one and he never befouled his mouth by repeating vulgar and obscene stories, in other words his language was always chaste, clean and as pure as the beautiful white snow as it falls to the earth from the high heavens. Mr. Douglass was never classed as an overbearing bulldozer and throughout his long and useful career he always conducted himself like a highly cured gentleman. On the contrary, Col. DePriest is a regular turncoat in politics, he is one thing today and another thing the next day and, seemingly he generally THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 LAWYER AUGUSTUS L. WILLIAMS lines up on the side where the largest pile of real easy money is in sight and he is past master in the art of buldozing and cussing anyone out who attempts to differ with him and who fails to fall down on their hands and knees and worship him as the head god of the universe. From this day on, anyone who attempts to compare Col. DePriest with the late immortal Frederick Donglass who was the greatest and most distinguished personage that the colored race has so far produced in any part of the world, should be sent to the crazy house for ten years or to the pen at Joliet for the same length of time. With these side remarks, we will now proceed with the main show. It will be recalled that former County Judge Hon. Louis W. Rinaker was the Republican candidate for State's Attorney of Cook County at the November election in 1912; that Col. Maclay Hoyne was the Democratic candidate for the same important and responsible position and that Hon. William A. Cunnea was the socialist candidate for State's Attorney and the vast majority of the sporting or the gambling element, white and colored, marched under banner of Col. Maclay Hoyne and with Mayor Carter H. Harrison and his machine behind him a desperate effort was put forth all along the line to elect Col. Hoyne, for all the tin horn gamblers the highwayman and the tough element in general almost solidly lined up behind Col. Hoyne; also including such highly eminent citizens as Alderman Al Tearney, whose dead house joint was even at that time the hang- out place for the worst criminals in Chicago. The main reason why that element favored his election was that their high chiefs had received many tips from on high that if Col. Hoyne was elected state's attorney, that they could lord it over the decent citizens of Chicago and run this big town to suit themselves. For several months prior to that election gambling dens and other hellholes ran wide open in the second ward and fighting whisky was much freer than water and during the evening and even in the day time the toughest and the most undisable element among the colored men spent their time in marching up and down State street and on the other streets shouting for Col. Maclay Hoyne for State's Attorney, making life miserable for the decent and the law abiding colored people; at, that very time it was very dangerous for any respectable woman, white or colored to walk from 35th and State street, to 31st and State street without being insulted a thousand times and possibly held up and robbed of her money and other belongings. Notwithstanding those horrible and revolting and we might say rotten conditions which existed at that time in what is called the Black belt, to his everlasting shame, Col. DePriest and his short sighted associates loyally supported Col. Maclay Hoyne for State's Attorney and at the election Col. DePriest and his highly honored associates come within one and sixty two votes of transferring the second ward from the Republican column over into the Democratic column for the sole benefit of Col. Hoyne. ALDERMAN LOUIS B. ANDERSON TRIES TO DEFEAT THE PROMOTION OF THE AMUSEMENT PARK AT 33RD STREET AND WABASH AVENUE. MAYOR WILLIAM E. DEVER LOUDLY DECLARED HIS MOTION LOST. This park consists of 350 feet on Wabash avenue and 250 feet on 33rd street, which is fostered by leading citizens of the district, and is now one of the most beautiful spots in Chicago. There are more than forty thousand ($40,000) dollars worth of improvements already on the ground for the People's amusement. This plot of ground heretofore was an eye sore to any person passing by on Wabash avenue or 33rd street, but since the improvement it is a most pleasing sight to the eye and on the inside it is a wonder to behold. On Wednesday, June 6, 1923, at the regular Council Meeting, Alderman Anderson offered a motion to suspend the rules' for the purpose of voting upon an amendment introduced by the said Alderman, which would put this park out of existence, but to the great credit of the wise, experienced knowledge of the business men of the Council such as Aldermen Schwartz of the 4th Ward, Eaton of the 5th Ward, Guernsey of the 6th Ward, Woodhull of the 7th Ward, Byrne of the 15th Ward, McKinlay of the 19th Ward, Moran of the 16th Ward, Crowe of the 42nd Ward, and Frankhauser of the 49th Ward, these said Aldermen voted against the motion and it was declared by the Honorable Mayor to be lost, and the Amendment was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Anderson did not explain what place he was referring to, even Alderman Jackson, who was his next seat colleague, was not informed of his plans but voted I, just the same. There are more than 175,000 colored people in the City of Chicago. These people had no place of amusement until this park was created, and they were compelled to go to the four corners of the city seeking amusement, in many instances, creating a disturbance, which could be avoided by having such a place within the confine of their own dominion. Alderman Anderson knew this at the time he offered this amendment, but it is said that, "he was not in on the deal and it therefore did not meet his approval," and from that fact alone, it shows that he cares nothing for his constituents, who have honored him repeatedly by placing him in the said Council and he showed his colors by the fight under the cover he made for the passage of his motion. The Alderman did not even stop to think whether the park at 33rd street was a carnival or an amusement park, and we are of the opinion that he does not even know the distinction now, but in his wild On the day of the election disorder and all kinds of rascality and lawlessness stalked through the city and in some sections it was extremely dangerous for peaceable citizens to appear upon the public streets. It seemed that pugnulles and other rough and ready gentlemen and strong-arm men had become all powerful and had completely captured the city. Ballot boxes were stuffed and stolen and thousands of dead men sprang forth from their graves and marched to the polls and desire to show his authority he attempted to put over this motion. The people of the City of Chicago should know that the City Council, whenever a measure comes up where they are vitally interested on the question of race advancement, and where there is no "Gold" to be had, neither of their aldermen are ever found on the right side. The colored voters should also know that the Democratic administration, of which we all speak so harshly, has recommended this park and to the great credit of Honorable Martin J. O'Brien, the matchless comproller of the City of Chicago, it can be said that he has done everything he could to secure this institution for this territory. The Chief of Police, Hon. Morgan Collins, has released any objection that he might have. The Corporation Counsel, Hon. Francis X. Busch, of whom Mr. Anderson unwise critically in his argument before the Council, upon the consideration of his motion also has put his O. K upon it, and Mr. Henry Hool, Democratic Committeeman of the 2nd Ward, has given his absolute indorsement to it, yet, none of them are Republicans. Sometimes we have brain, sometimes there is more brawn than brain, in this case it appears that there is more brawn being used than brain This park has a capacity of 10,000 people. On Sunday, June 3, 1923, there were more than 7,000 people entered this park from noon until 11 o'clock P. M. Then the question comes up, where would these people go for their amusement had not this amusement park been available? It is of vital interest to the City of Chicago that a place be created where the citizens of their immediate vicinity can go for amusement, rather than to compel them to spend their money in wandering over the City looking for places of amusement, and in most cases landing where they are not wanted. It is hoped that the Alderman will awaken to his sense of honor, and join with the people who are trying to do something for the betterment of the people of his ward and the entire City, rather than to object to things worth while. The promoters and managers of this amusement park are as follows: Geo. L. Williams, brother of Attorney A. L. Williams; James T. Copper, R. F. Spriggs, Ollie Scales. These men have declared that the park will be conducted at all times in an orderly manner where the best class of all races can freely patronize it without molestation. freely voted for Col. Hoyne for State's Attorney. Some of the daily newpapers whose editors were friendly to Col. Hoyne, strongly intimated that his election was tainted with fraud. Several election officials were arrested and sent to jail for the part which they had played in the rotten election, but Hon. Wm. A. Cunnae was never able to have the ballot boxes opened and the ballots re-counted in order to discover the (Continued on Page 2) THE LATE JUDGE THOMAS G. WINDES THE LATE JUDGE THOMAS G.

Shortly after the election of Col. Hoyne, Col. DePriest started the boom of his personal attorney, Mr. Edward E. Wilson, for Assistant State's Attorney, although Mr. Wilson had no love for white or colored Democrats, for at that time he was either president or one of the other high officials of the Second Ward Republican organization, and he did not deliver one speech for Col. Hoyne nor ever raised his little finger to aid in his election. On the other hand, Hon. J. Gray Lucas, who at that time and ever since has freely voted the Democratic ticket from end to end, delivered many speeches in behalf of Col. Hoyne and worked hard for his election and was highly endorsed for a position in his office by Mayor Carter H. Harrison and by former Mayor Edward F. Dunne, but as Col. DePriest and the late lamented Major John C. Buckner had the goods on Alderman Al Tearney for he was beholden to them for making him alderman and as Alderman Tearney had the goods on Col. Hoyne, Mr. Wilson landed in the State's Attorney's office and Mr. Lucas, who is, in our humble opinion, a far better lawyer than Mr. Wilson, was brushed aside. Not so long after that time, in order to reward Col. DePriest for his labors in his behalf, Col. Hoyne forced Col. Wilson to lead off in his famous drive against Col. DePriest in the Criminal Court of Cook County and Col. Wilson, to show his great love for Col. DePriest (we don't think it was he who made it possible for him to feast on the fat of the land every day and Sunday too), branded Col. DePriest as the "Lord Mayor of Crapville."

Johnson, Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD Matt. 5:44—"But I command you all, love your enemies and pray for your persecutors; that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong." Anyone who reads with care the text quoted above is bound to conclude that it is in place both as to spirit and time. It is timely because: (1) It was given by Jesus Christ, our Savior. By oral confession, unselfish living and vicarious suffering, Jesus proved that His mission on earth was to help and save mankind. That being true it is only necessary to know that Jesus said do something for us to act accordingly. He who gave up the glory that was His, took upon Himself the form of sinful flesh, and suffered the hardships of the poorest of the poor, for no purpose other than to save a lost world, is incapable of giving advice that would not prove a blessing. Therefore it is safe to conclude that the advice of the text is timely, because Jesus gave it. (2) It has universal application. Every race group can point to enemies and at some time in its history has felt the heel of oppression. The command to love one's enemies and to pray for one's persecutors can therefore be applied to every individual and to all peoples. Especially can the Negro in America say that Jesus put that in His great Sermon on the Mount for him. Who is more conscious of enemies and has felt dire persecutions more keenly than the Negro who lives under the Stars and Stripes? Surely Jesus meant him when He said, "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." (3) It is a challenge to all that is highest and best in man. There was a time in my life when I regarded the command to love enemies and pray for persecutors as base cowardice. I almost hated Jesus for having commanded it. But now I see in that command a challenge to all that is best in man. Since the devil is con- All state and county courts, as well as most of the municipal courts, adjourned as a tribute of respect for the late jurist, who had served on the Circuit Court bench for thirty-one years. Active pall-bearers were: William Sheridan, Willis Hilpert, M. K. Meyers, Frank Wright, Dr. A. H. Murdow, and William Pavey. Large delegations from the lawyers' association, the bar association, and the Iroquois club acted as honorary pall-bearers. Mayor William E. Dever and many other distinguished citizens attended his funeral. Judge Windes was one of our highly honored friends for many years and we humbly join with the rest of his troops of friends and lament his passing on West. stantly appealing to that which is low and mean, Jesus would have been recreant to His trust had He not appealed to the high and good in man. The devil's business is to make men like himself, wholly bad. Jesus's mission is to make men like Himself, wholly good, or "complete in goodness." This end cannot be obtained except thru the exercise of highest virtues. Hence Jesus exhorts: "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." That is a call upward from the usual to the unusual; from the ordinary to the extraordinary; from following after the devil to walking in the footsteps of the Man of Galilee. Following the devil leads to eternal woe. Walking after Jesus leads to everlasting peace and neverending joys. Which will you do, men and women of my race? There is no disputing the fact that the Negro has cause for feeling of enmity against the American white man. But can he afford to let that cause produce the usual effect? Jesus says, "no." Common sense says the same. The person who hates incites the one hated to acts of vengeance which may affect the welfare of thousands thru generations yet unborn. But it has a reaction upon the one who hates which is many times worse. It sears his conscience and makes impossible growth of soul. It dwarfs and petrifies the soul. Individual conflicts, group uprisings and wars have their ground in hate thoughts. If men would quit hating one another, murders would cease and wars would be no more. That is why Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." The Negro's safety in this country depends upon his practicing the counsel of this text. If he encourages thoughts that make for hatred of the white man, a conflict of arms, individually or in group, will be the inevitable result. That will enable some individual or group to kill a few white people and win plaudits from the less serious for having played the hero, but the race suffers. The Negro is too much handicapped to help the race by fighting. The better way is to love and pray. If you cannot love the white man, it is because you have not prayed for him. It is impossible to pray for a people and hate THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 BOOK CHAT, BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. "A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES SINCE THE CIVIL WAR" By Ellis Paxson Oberholter. Volume 2. Published by The Macmillan Co., New York City. Price $4.00. Postage 10 cents. This second volume of Mr. Oberholtzter's history deals with the reconstruction period and one turns to it with eager interest believing that an historical piece of work, written at the close of Europe's tremendous conflict, will have a fresh point-of-view toward our own great war. No longer do we need to have any Civil War veteran tell us of the horror of the battle, of the hatred left in the heart of the vanquished or the fear in the heart of the victor. We have seen the working class in revolution striving to gain something out of cataclysm that has overthrown the power of their former masters. So when we think of South and North in 1865, one bankrupt, the other impoverished at the end of a four years' struggle, of the destruction of slavery and effort to build up a new society and a new government in the face of intense antagonists, we look at France and Germany, at England and Russia, and feel that a flood of light has been thrown upon our own past. At least that was what I supposed anyone must feel who thought on reconstruction but no new suggestions have troubled the mind of this very careful historian. His book could have been conceived fifteen years ago for all the present day thought there is in it. It is like all our recent reconstruction books written under the influence, either of Rhodes or of Dunning, an account of the politics of the time with especial sympathy for the aristocratic party of the South, with condemnation for the carpet-bagger, with a word of uncertain praise for the teacher of the Negro and a complete ignoring of the black man himself. When one realizes that this is the most stupendous period, not only in our own history but in almost any history, to have the same old dish water served up to us is very hard to bear. them. "Pray for your persecutors" and feelings of hatred will banish in proportion as you pray. Yea, emotions of love will manifest themselves in proportion as you mean your prayers. Since we cannot whip the white man into better treatment of us let us love him into it. Especially is this advisable since WE grow stronger and better by the exercise. (4) It exhorts to that which proves Divine sonship. "So you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven, for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong." It is more important that our lives prove sonship to God than our ability to get even with the white man. We are not God's sons until we reflect Him in our lives. He gives the sunshine and rain in the same degree to the wicked who delight in His displeasure as He does to the good who are striving to do His will. So we, to prove our relation as "true sons of our Father in Heaven," must love everybody, even the enemy. Love will bridge the chasm of race prejudice and usher in an era of peace and good will. THE BETHESA SINGERS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MRS. MARTHA B. ANDERSON, RENDERED ST. JOHN'S EVE AT GREATER B-E-T H E L CHURCH, MONDAY EVENING WITH GREAT SUCCESS All of the musically inclined people in this city crowded into Greater Bethel Church Monday evening, 42nd Street and Grand Boulevard, to listen to the rendition of St. John's Eve, and other selections by the far famed Bethesda singers, consisting of one hundred of the best trained voices among the colored race in Chicago. The following were the soloists: Miss Nellie Toler, soprano; Miss Mabel Alexander Arnold, contralto; John A Taylor, tenor; T. Theodore Taylor, baritone. Accompanists: Miss Mabelle Hill, Miss Estella C. Bonds, Miss M. Gertrude Jackson and Ferrell's Symphony Orchestra, Harrison H. Ferrell, Jr., Director. All the star artists could not be surpassed and they were heartily applauded at the end of each selection sung by them. The Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Harrison H. Ferrell, Jr., was one of the leading features or attractions of the evening and the musical selections rendered by it were very enchanting indeed. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, clearly demonstrated the fact that she is one of the best and most thorough musical directors in the United States. She thoroughly trained the music We are close to reconstruction. It is possible today though it will not be possible for many years more, to get the story first hand. Supposing we could not only read the hieroglyphics but could talk with the Egyptians who put the offerings in Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb. There would surely be an exodus of reporters going after interviews. Very likely, however, the historians would stay at home, as Mr. Oberholtzer has done, as history seems loath to match itself with real life. Our author turns wholly to the hieroglyphics. His foot notes are almost without exception names of current newspapers. North and South, as though one should write a history of the World War from the press of that time. His sympathies moreover are wholly middleclass and he has no understanding of the slaves's grasping for economic and educational opportunity. He speaks of the various assemblies in 1861 and 1869 as "agrarian and revolutionary" and on one page gives us a tantalizing glimpse of what these assemblies debated, their proposal that no grain be used for a year for intoxicating liquor but be kept for bread; that Negroes collect from their masters ten dollars for services since emancipation, January first, 1863. But these same legislators soon become "Sambos" and "Cuffees" to the writer, and he slips back to the usual political material. There is more that is new in the two or three recent short articles in the Messenger on Reconstruction than in this ponderous volume. We know all we need to know of the politics, of the opinions of the South toward the North, and the North toward the South, after the Civil War. What we need to know is what really happened on the estates. A true study such as that would interpret lynching and peonage today. It might give us hope, too, who knows? But it must be made by one whose imagination has been touched by the great events of recent years and who can delve deep into the lives of the working class.

Buxton, well-known lawyer and Rotarian of Newport News, Va., who was the principal speaker, outlined the lessons which these well-trained nurses will be able to teach themselves—gaining satisfaction in work which is done in the right spirit, making progress through adherence to high ideals, using God-given talent or talents, finding happiness through cheerful service, and winning friends through work which is well done. "The successful life of a nurse," he said, "is dependent on three things: integrity, earnestness, and application to detail." Frank W. Darling of Hampton, Va., president of the board of directors of the Dixie Hospital and Hampton Training School for Nurses, who presided, paid a warm tribute to the Howe family of Hampton Institute, and especially Albert Howe, the treasurer, for their unfailing service and support. Training Colored Nurses The Dixie Hospital since 1891 has cared for more than 14,000 patients and has graduated 243 nurses. About 40 nurses are constantly in training. Albert Howe, who has been a member of the Hampton Institute staff since 1868, said in a recent report: "We are convinced that colored women cannot long retain a hold upon the profession of nursing without training at least equal to that enjoyed by white women. We are equally convinced that with such training they can be prepared to give as faithful and satisfactory nursing service as that of the white graduates of other training schools." Mra.

The celebration lasted one week, in order to give the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Barnett a chance to join in the celebration and to enjoy the good eating. CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO NEVER TIRES OF HIS TRAMPING THRU THE SOUTHLAND, HAD ONE BIG TIME DOWN IN DALLAS, TEXAS. Dallas, Texas.—If giving advice would make a people rich, then my race should be the richest race on earth, and that's no joke. We get more advice from everything and everybody. Monarchs, beggars, noble men and nobodies, high and low, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, wise and fools, all feel to give a word of advice to my people, and then we have leaders galore, leaders to let, leaders to lend and leaders to give away, and some not worth giving I have heard so much advice, so much wisdom and so much nothing until I am just about to land my fool self into some crazy house and ask some of the race leaders to come and get me out. The fellows who are doing things will be too busy to get me out. I am hearing about your race and you people until at times I don't know where in the hen feathers I am and what I should do to be saved. I will just trust in God, do the right and go right on. Some people are worrying about the K. K. K., but I am not losing any sleep over them. I have turned them over in the hands of God and they will just run out after awhile, and return to the place from whence they came. If they are right they will live on and if they are wrong then they must die, and die at their own hands. Strange things are happening. Some things have happened that never happened before, and will never happen again this side of the end of the world. Men large and small, old and young have died. But then why talk about that this week, when I am just as full of the devil as the devil himself, and I feel like saying words which would not appear in a Sunday School quarterly, but then I had just as well pray and ask God to forgive the sinners and when the time comes send them on to hell. God will do the right thing by them and there is no need of me getting out of harmony with God. Now how do you feel over the way they treated Bishop Wallace of the A. M. E. Zion church down in Arkansas a few days ago? How they struck him with a poker, hung a chain over his head, then arrested him, assessed a fine and drove him out of town and all because he wanted to wait in a railroad waiting room for a train and the little miscarriage of humanity, the imp of the infernal region wanted to go to supper and was afraid that the representative of Jesus Christ on earth might steal something. No, that was not it, but he felt he wanted to order a man of my race around. He seemed to think that white skin, or the muddy skin of what you call a white man is bossism and when he speaks every man who was born on the dark of the moon must jump with his hat in his hand and say, "Yes, sar boss." But I'm here to say that that day has gone to never return, and the future is just man minus color. But here I am in Texas, but was in Birmingham, Ala., when I wrote you last week. This is a moving world and I am moving with it as fast as it is possible. I was over there, and was in company with Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, one of the most remarkable women of your race and mine. She has just spent a life of service and you will believe me, honey, when I tell you that she is still serving the people. She is the official head of the Calanthe of the state, also the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, and the Knights and Ladies of Honor. She is the mother of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, for this great order had its birth in her brains. She thought out all the signs, pass words, grips, and secret work, but she had something higher in it. It was born to help humanity, to serve the world. Mrs. Tuggle looked out in life and saw hundreds of boys and girls going the downward read. Boys and girls without a vision, without inspiration, without an idea of what it required to be a man. They were just growing up like wild weeds. She saw ignorance, illiteracy and immorality taking them in and consigning them HON. JOHN G. DRENNAN CON- TINUES TO STAND BY THE BROAD AX For some years Hon. John G. Drennan, District Attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad Company at Chicago, has been a regular subscriber to The Broad Ax, and every Saturday a copy of the paper finds its way into the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Drennan, at 5110 Hyde Park boulevard. ON BUSINESS During the past week, Ralph A. Turner, general manager of The Missouri Life and Accident Insurance Co. of St. Louis, Mo., was in the city on business to the bottomless pits of hades or some other hot clime. Down on her knees she asked God to use her for these unfortunate children. Then came forth Tuggle Institute with these organizations behind it and Mrs. Tuggle the president. The school is spreading in usefulness. It is growing in size and more friends are rushing to it each year. There are children without parents, children with parents who would throw them away. Without money, without clothes Mrs. Tuggle takes them in and they get a common school education, they get inspiration to be something in life. If you have a heart and want to help some worthy girl or boy, get in touch with Mrs. Tuggle. When I got in town, I found Prof. and Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Fannie C. Blevins awaiting me at the L. & N. stable. Mr. Mitchell was driving his latest Caterlackum, and landed me at the residence of Mrs. Tuggle, who told me to be at home. She was busy as busy as she could be. I was not there long before I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Herbert H. Glover, the secretary to Mrs. Tuggle, and a young man who is making himself useful in this world. He is a man who took time to get prepared. He shook my lily black hand and assured me that he was glad to meet me and to see me and to have me there. It is wonderful how these women work together, and the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, of Alabama are falling in line and they are doing their part. You can see real service in this state and among these people. Mrs. Blevins is from Chicago now, but she had her origin right in Alabama and she is still serving her people. She is secretary and a good one at that. With all by aches and pains I was there, and I want to here express to Mrs. Annie M. Malone and Prof. Aaron E. Malone, of Poro college, my sincere thanks for the fine cake they sent me for my birthday. I tell you it was fine to get this cake and to convert it into me. I will not be able to tell you all about the meeting, but will say that it was a great meeting, and I left there for another past of the world—New Orleans, La.—and there I was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. B. G. Dawson, of St. James A. M. E. church. I mavel how these Baptist feet of mine can go under Methodist tables. Dr. Dawson is on his way to the bishopric, and I want you to know it. He is a man among men. Information comes to me that Prof. Aaron E. Malone was elected unanimously by his electorial college, held in Springfield, Ill., delegate to general conference. He is a worthy layman, and he will render great service in Louisville next May. I suppose you know that in order to help to give to us more efficient doctors, to extend the life line, Prof. and Mrs. Malone gave $10,000 to the medical department of Howard University. Now, back to New Orleans. I remained in the house much of the time, but had the pleasure of eating some real gumbo with feelings and crabs and shrimps, with the Porches. Mrs. Porche, Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Ella Porche and Miss Blanche Porche make up the family. Last Saturday morning, in company with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, Grand Chancellor W. W. Andrews, of Florida, and one other, I left for this place. Riding all day long on the Southern Pacific, reaching Houston, where I spent 40 minutes and then on to this place. They are getting ready to hold the Grand Lodge here, and these dignitaries are here to visit it. I am the house guest of Rev. and Mrs. E. Arlington Wilson. Dr. Wilson is smiling all over his face, for on June 30, he will embark on one of the White Star Line steamers for Europe. He is going to Stockholm to a big Baptist convention. He is to make a speech over there. He will represent the millions of Baptists in America. I congratulate him on his selection. I will talk about it and Dallas and the Grand Lodge next week. IN SPECIAL MEETING In a special meeting of The Morgan Park Bldg. and Loan Association to be held on June 12th at Arnett Chapel, 112th Place and Bishop St, Morgan Park, Jas. A.

HON. LEONIDAS C. DYER is, Mo.; Author and Father of the Dyer Anti-Ly a Part of the Organic Law of This Broad Land, We Up the Fight in Behalf of the Fifteen Milli etry Until Justice and Law and Order is Firmly in Every State Throughout the Union THE FOLLOWING LETTERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES Chicago, May 29, 1923, Mr. Henry A. Blair, President, Chicago Surface Lines, 105 S. L. Salle Street, It has been reported to this office that Mrs. Bessie Jones, of 121 East 37th st, was yesterday the victim of most ungentlemanly and indecent treatment at the hands of Conductor No. 11680 on car No. 5902, southbound about four o'clock in the afternoon, when Mrs. Jones transferred to through route car No. 3, near the intersection at Lincoln Park. Mrs. Jones entered the car, offered her transfer to the conductor which was accepted. After being seated, the conductor came into the car, threatening Mrs. Jones and saying that her transfer was no good and that she knew it, throwing the transfer in her face. The woman was entitled to her ride and was so shocked from the attack upon her that she went into tears. Many people in the car were in full sympathy with Mrs. Jones and came to her assistance, and although the conductor tried to cover up his number, it was, nevertheless, secured. The facts presented certainly warrant a most rigid investigation and discharge at once of such an offending conductor. A conductor on a public conveyance resorting to such conduct is certainly unfit to handle the traveling public. I am quite sure this matter will have your prompt attention. Awaiting reply, I am, Very sincerely yours, Morris Lewis, Executive Secretary, Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P. CHICAGO SURFACE LINES 230 South Clark Street, Chicago, June 2, 1923. Mr. Morris Lewis, Executive Sec'y., Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P. 3201 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, Dear Sir— We have your communication and one from Mr. Jones relating to the unpleasant experience of Mrs. Jones when transferring from a southbound Clark Street car to a Through-route No. 3 car at Lincoln Park. Although this is not the proper point at which to transfer between these lines—the transfer regulations requiring that transfers are good only at the intersection point on a crossing diverging or extension line—the conductor should have been courteous in making any explanation of the necessity, for collecting an additional fare. The intersecting point where the Clark Street and Through-Route No. 3 cars diverge, southbound, is at Illinois Street, if the Clark Street car operates over the Downtown Loop, or at Kinzie and Clark Street, if it is a Clark-Wentworth car. Northbound, Lincoln Park, at Center Street, is the intersecting point at which the Clark Street and Through-Route No. 3 cars diverge and is the proper point at which to transfer. You have our assurance that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and that the discourtesy of the conductor will be made the subject of appropriate disciplinary action. Very truly yours, John E. Wilkie, Assistant to the President. NEGRO MIGRANTS MENACE HEALTH SAYS PHILADEL PHIA HEALTH OFFICER Philadelphia, Pa.-Director Burush of the Department of Public Health of Philadelphia has just issued a special bulletin recommending the vaccination of newcomers. The bulletin reads as follows: "First-Industrial activities have stimulated migration from the South and have brought to this community large numbers of unvaccinated persons, some of whom are potentially carriers of small-pox, which may seriously jeopardize the public health unless active and immediate measures are taken to inoculate all new residents. Only recently the Department of Health has inaugurated a campaign urging all employers of labor and domestic help to require a certificate of successful vaccination from all new employees, especially from those recently arriving from the South. "A large number of industrial plants have already co-operated willingly in this matter. Since the infux of Negroes and whites is progressively increasing by reason of an industrial boom, a likelihood of an outbreak of small-pox of a serious nature is highly probably unless there is a hearty co-operation from all residents. The tardiness of some employers of labor in complying with the request of the department in regard to vaccination makes it necessary to issue a warning that drastic measures will be taken in those instances where it is shown that the request of the department has been ignored. "The Board of Health has wide discretionary powers, but will not invoke any specific rulings unless absolutely compelled to do so." "Places employing domestic help and other employers of labor are once more urged to give their hearty assistance by refusing employment to persons unless their application is accompanied by a certificate of recent vaccination. "The Department of Public Health will gladly supply vaccine virus free of charge, and if necessary will ar- THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

NEW ORLEANS HONORS NEGRO WHO LEFT BIG ESTATE New Orleans, La.-John Hall, 50, Negro messenger in federal District court here for forty years, died here last Thursday, leaving an estate of from $60,000 to $100,000. He was probably the richest man in a like position in the country. Hal's fortune grew from judicious investment of $25,000 left to him some years ago by Federal Judge F. C. Billings at his death as a reward for his faithful service to the court. The court recessed out of respect to Hall, and many officials attended his funeral. OKLAHOMA WOMEN SEEK JUSTICE FOR ALL Join South-Wide Movement for Better Race Relations—Strong Statement Issue! Oklahoma City—(Special to The Broad Ax)—More than a score of Oklahoma's leading women, meeting in this city a few days ago, followed the example of the women of ten other Southern States by organizing for the promotion of better race relations through co-operation with the State Inter-Racial Committee. The personnel of the group was notable, including the presidents of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, the State Association of University Women and the Woman's Legislative Council, and of nearly all the great denominational missionary organizations. The group accepted membership in the Inter-Racial Committee and issued a statement of principles, declaring that justice must be made to prevail in race relations and that all movements for better citizenship, public health, sanitation, education, recreation and religion must include the Negro, both for his own sake and also for the common welfare. State and local authorities were called upon to protect all citizens alike, regardless of color, and the idea that lynching is ever justified was vigorously repudiated. The press was asked to co-operate in the demand for a fair deal for the Negro and to give more publicity to his worthy achievements and relatively less to his shortcomings. On the basis of their special interest in the home, the women pledged themselves to a study of the needs of Negro homes and to the effort to remedy such conditions as threaten their welfare and purity. A committee was appointed to make this study and others were appointed to study school and church conditions. The officers elected were Mrs. R. T. Mansfield, chairman, Mrs. P. M. O'Donnell, vice-chairman, and Mrs. W. J. Cowgill, secretary. Women's organizations of this character have now been set up in all the Southern States except Kentucky and Mississippi and have begun to function effectively in a number of states. The movement is promoted by the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation with headquarters in Atlanta.
