The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA In the Spring of 1917 Hon. Martin B. Madden Contributed His Check Calling for Two or Three Thousand Dollars to Col. DePriest to Aid Him in His Troubles With Col. Hoyne. In 1918 Col. DePriest Blew in Thousands of Dollars in His Mad Effort to Defeat Mr. Madden in His Race for Congress. AT THAT ELECTION COL. DE PRIEST BRANDED CONGRESSMAN MADDEN "AS OLD PEG LEG, GRAYHAIRED MADDEN, THAT HE WAS NO FRIEND TO THE COLORED RACE, THAT HE WOULD HOTFOOT HIM INTO LAKE MICHIGAN, THAT NO DECENT COLORED PERSON SHOULD VOTE FOR HIM IN HIS RACE FOR CONGRESS FROM THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS." THE CHANCES ARE TEN TO ONE THAT COL. DE PRIEST WILL RESTART HIS BITTER FIGHT ON MR. MADDEN IN 1924, AS COL. DE PRIEST WANTS TO MISREPRESENT THAT DISTRICT IN CONGRESS HIMSELF. It might be well to state right here and now after all that has been said in the past in relation to Col. Maclay Hoyne that at no time while he was supposed to be serving as state's attorney did the writer ever attempt to work him out of one thin dime, nor ever requested him to place a political advertisement in the columns of this newspaper either at his first or second election for we never regarded Col. Hoyne as being very friendly disposed towards any class of colored people unless he could freely use them to further his own political ambition and to tell the real truth we have always been afraid of him for according to our way of thinking Col. Hoyne and Col. De Priest have long since proven themselves to be the most cussing and the most erratic so-called leaders of the white and colored race in Cook County. As State's Attorney, Col. Hoyne landed on many of his friends whenever he had a chance to do so and he became so raw and wild in conducting the affairs of his office and causing hundreds of law abiding citizens to be indicted and never trying them in the criminal courts until finally the citizenship of this city and county rose up in their might against him and kicked him out of office at the primaries in 1920, and from that day to this Col. Hoyne has been a dead cock in the pit in the political world in Chicago. Let us retrace our steps backwards and very briefly review the wonderful and we might say tricky and very erratic political career of Col. De Priest, who seemingly in the past few years has gone completely money mad, who seems to be ever ready to turn ten or twenty political summersauls each day in the year or as long as there is a big barrel of real money in sight. In our humble opinion the one black spot which will always dim Col. De Priest's political star of hope, is the large amount of base ingratitude which he displayed toward Hon. Martin B. Madden, who had been his political father and made it possible for him to force his way to the front in politics until today Col. De Priest has the brass nerve and the unmitigated gall to pose as the head leader of all the colored people residing in this city. It will be recalled that away back in 1900 or 1902, Congressman Madden ushered Col. De Priest into the old Second Ward politics as the right hand man of the late lamented Major John C. Bruckner, it will be further recalled that at that time Col. De Priest was a white washer and that he could sling more white wash and make as much mess around on the floors and so on as the commonest old white washer in town, and for some years past it has been a very serious question in our mind whether or not that Congressman Madden did not make a grave mistake in transforming a good white washer into a tricky and unreliable politician whose greatest ambition seems to be to ride around on the backs of the one hundred and fifty thousand colored people in this city and to regard them as his political slaves, to enable him to rake in thousands of dollars of easy money at their expense. There is an old saying that "Everything is fair in Love, in War and in Politics." If that is true then Col. De Priest can rest his weary political bones in peace for the reprehensible part which he played in 1918, when he attempted to turm over heaven and hades in his desperate, shameful effort to defeat Hon. Martin B. Madden in his race for Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, That cut of Col. De Priest was the most unkindest cut of all, for at the time that Col. De Priest was in trouble with his Democratic friend, Col. Maclay Hoyne, on the North Side, the Hon. Martin B. Madden gave him his check for two or three thousand dollars to aid him from being landed in the pen at Joliet, Illinois, and that was the reward which Mr. Madden received from Col. De Priest for his steadfast friendship for him. At that primary election, Col. De Priest ran the late James A. Scott against Mr. Madden and waged a most bitter fight against him, as Col. De Priest is past master in the art of getting out circular letters against Democratic or Republican candidates whom he is unable to control and those who fail to fall down on their hands and knees and dance to his music, and Col. De Priest, through his great army of shouters and retainers, distributed thousands of those circular letters throughout the First Congressional District, stating that Hon. Martin B. M.

Revell Diamond Medal, Chicago Musical College, Who on Last Monday Evening Gave a High-Class Recital at Greater Bethel Church Before a Large Audience, Which Loudly Applauded Her at the End of Each Number. Madden had voted in favor of a southern "Jim Crow Railroad Bill" that Congressman Madden was an enemy and a traitor to the colored race. Many anti-Madden meetings were held in all parts of his district in which he was held up to scorn and contempt and he was referred to by some of the speakers and followers of Col. De Priest as old peg leg, gray haired Martin B. Madden, and as some of the followers of Col. De Priest left his meetings they were so wrought up and heated up that they were good and ready to kill any white or colored person who differed with them. WHITE MAN WANTS EX-SLAVE TO PREACH HIS FUNERAL SERMON Lawrenceville, Va.-At the Commencement of St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School for Negroes, held here, the last surviving member of General Robert E. Lee's Staff, Major Giles B. Cooke, publicly expressed his desire that at his death, Rev. James Solomon Russell, a former slave, shall officiate at his funeral. Since the close of the war between the States Major Cooke has been engaged in educational work. Years ago there came under his notice a Negro lad who, four years before Sumpter was fired on, was born in a log hut on a Virginia plantation. The close of the war found Jim Russell without father or master and without a future save what his ex-slab mother could provide for him. In this situation he THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1923 MADAM ANTOINETE GARNES The Most Popular Song Birds in America, Alexander H.

De Priest was so powerful at that time that all of the colored editors of this city failed to have the moral courage to oppose him except the writer, and the Saturday before the September primaries in 1918, not another race newspaper in this city contained one line in favor of the renomination of Congressman Madden, but The Broad Ax bravely stood by him to the biter end. Shortly after that time Col. De Priest was ready to crush down and trample under his big, tricky political feet all colored persons who refused or failed to shout for Hon. Martin B. Madden. came under the eye of General Lee's old comrade-in-arms. Major Cooke, an active Episcopal Church worker—sent the boy to Hampton and, in the years which followed Russell, under the guiding care of his friend, became successively teacher and priest, and is now an Archdeacon in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia doing valuable educational work among the people of his race. The two men—Major Cooke, the former slave-owner and Archdeacon Russell, the former slave—met here the other day at St. Paul's Commencement, before an audience composed equally of Whites and Negroes. Major Cooke made a brief address expressive of his interest in the colored race; and in tones of strong emotion said: "How I feel toward you good people, and what I think of my old friend Russell. I can best express by saying that when the final summons reaches me it is my earnest wish that and desire that your Archdeacon shall officiate at my funeral." All of the above is self-evident that Col. De Priest is wild or flighty; that he never knows his own political mind over night; that it is as changeable as the shifting March winds, and, being unable to reason from cause to effect and to arrive at logical deductions, he is, therefore, one of the most erratic and unsound leaders of the colored race in Chicago. If Col. De Priest should live one thousand years and then some, he will never be able to rub out that one black spot which was left on his hand owing to his cold-blooded treatment of Hon. Martin B. Madden. A period of deep silence ensued and then a burst of prolonged cheering came from the white and colored auditors alike. "TO HIM WHO HATH SHALL BE GIVEN" The above prophecy from the Bible was never more truly illustrated than it was Wednesday when the will of Richard Wilder was probated. Wilder a colored man, worked for Miss Jennie Benedict, the caterer up town. He had saved $1,550. This estate he divided between Miss Benedict and another white woman. He said he had no relatives and the two white women were the only friends he had—The News, Louisville, Ky., June 20, 1923. George O.

THE MEETING OF THE RED CAPS SUNDAY EVENING AT THE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER, WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL, WAS A VERY INSTRUCTIVE AFFAIR. HON. JOHN G. DRENNAN, WHO IS ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN CHICAGO, WAS MASTER OF CEREMONIES. HE WAS INTRODUCED BY MR. SANDY W. TRICE. MR. FRANK TAYLOR, REV. W. W. LUCAS AND REV. ALONZO J. BOWLING WERE THE LEADING SPEAKERS. Sunday evening the religious services held at the Metropolitan Community Center, Wendell Phillips High School were conducted under the auspices of the Red Caps Club, at which time the following highly interesting program, which was evolved by Mr. James Ferguson, was delightfully rendered.

Drennan, Master of Ceremonies. Rev. A. J. Bowling read the Bible lesson from St. Paul, and drew some wholesome and very thoughtful deductions therefrom. Rev. Bowling is one of the most highly educated men of his race in this country. At times he was extremely eloquent and introducing Rev. W. W. Lucas as the leading speaker of the evening. Rev. Bowling reached the highest flight in classical oratory. Rev. Lucas is one of the most entertaining and most eloquent orators belonging to any race in this country, and he loudly sounded the praises of the Red Caps from A to Z. Hon. John G. Drennan, who always greatly delights to mix up in the affairs of colored people, ably presided as master of ceremonies and imparted some sound advice to the large number of people present. He urged them to save their money, start a bank account, buy homes, stick to their jobs to get married and settle down, to the seriousness of life and with these things and character, no power on earth can prevent them from succeeding. Mr. Drennan introduced Mr. Frank Taylor, as a bright shining example of the young ambitious colored man who is employed as a Red Cap at the Twelfth Street Station, Illinois Central Railroad, who at the same time is attending a medical college, and who will in a short time graduate as an M. D. Mr. Taylor read the following paper on the aims and objects of the Red Caps: The Indispensable Red Cap By Frank Taylor Modern railroad organization is like a huge clock in which each part, no matter how small, is vitally essential to its successful operation. Each part of this huge organization is dependent upon the other for its proper functioning and the impairment of any part seriously hinders the operation of the other parts. Huge organizations of this kind render a corresponding public service. It is incumbent upon it to see that the service performed is comfortable, safe and dependable. In order to perform one of its many features of public service it has installed a body of men known as station ushers, or commonly called red caps. Seemingly insignificant, these men perform a very essential service. Little or nothing is heard of them other than the time when they are assisting passengers to or from their trains. With their daily contact with WHO is WHO in America as well as in Europe, they are in a position to crystallize, by their courtesy and service, perform for their respective employers. Courtesy and dependability usually melt the sentiment of the most exacting persons. These men are generally courteous and polite for these are two, of the requisites for their common connection with the Railroad Organization. Most of them are conversant with and have an accurate knowledge of the arrivals and departures of trains to and from the many places served by the railroads. The fact that some of these men have been connected with their respective organizations from twenty to thirty years is evidence of their dependability, politeness, efficiency, and loyalty to their employers and this also further evidences a wonderful degree of faithfulness. They are highly respectable, for this is the prime requisite of their positions. The red cap has developed a highly specific degree of intelligence that is not common with other classes of employees. They have organized and paid benefits from an exclusive red cap Protective Insurance under the Shreve System. The scheme of the insurance is that each member for thirty-five cents weekly is protected by the insurance against illness and temporary disability for fifteen weeks each year at the rate of fifteen dollars per week, and if he is fortunate enough as to not have received sick benefits during a year of his insurance, he is re- (Continued on Page 2) THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899 without missing one single issue.

An example of the brotherly spirit existing among them is the formation of an honor organization known as the Gentlemen's Agreement in which the membership pledge themselves to pay a specific amount each week to any member who is temporarily disabled for fifteen weeks, the sum total of which ranges from fifteen to sixteen dollars. The benefits received from the two mentioned benevolent organizations are without any delay or legal restraint whatsoever, simply the recommendations of sick committee are acted upon. The red cap has long seen the need of a place wherein he can with his family assemble and enjoy recreative entertainment with his co-workers and their families and friends. So accordingly he organized and purchased a building under the title of Red Caps Club. This club house is located at 3441 S. Wabash avenue and has been the scene of many brilliant affairs, and no doubt some of you have been the guests on some of the occasions. If you have not been a guest, do avail yourself at the next presenting opportunity and you will readily see just why the Red Cap is fast becoming recognized as an indispensable factor to the traveling public. WEEK DAY SERMONETTES GOD OUR FATHER "In this manner therefore, pray ye, 'Our Father.'" Matt. 6.9. Men did not know God until Jesus came. They thought of Hin as being all wise, all powerful and everywhere present, but such a God repelled rather than attracted them. Being conscious of sin, they could not help but stand in awe of a God who possessed all power, knew all they did, and from whose presence they could not escape. It was utterly impossible to love a God like that. Jesus came and revealed this same God in a way to make Him attract and not repell men. He showed the omnipotent, omniscient and omniprescient God to be a God who loved sinful men so much that He made His son joint heir with Jesus Christ. The poorest, weakest and most unworthy of us are privileged to address God as our Father. We need have no mental reservation in doing so because the relation is not an assumption on our part, but a voluntary gift of God. See what wonderful benefits are ours because the self-existent great "First Cause" God Almighty, has established the relation between himself and rebellious man which entitles us to call Him "Our Father." 1. If we think of God as a father we do not have to understand great mysteries to know Him. A self-existent, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere present God is too mysterious for us to either know or love. But God, as revealed by His son—a father—is easily understood and loved. Anyone who can understand the filial © 1914 MUFFETT CHIAGO HON. JOHN G. DRENNAN District Attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad Company at Chicago, Who Presided Sunday Evening at the Meeting of the Red Caps at the Wendell Phillips High School, and Imparted Some Sound Advice to the Colored People of Chicago. relation between father and child knows just how close we are to God. If more of us would think of ourselves as God's children, there would be fewer people making bad history. Could a man be a rapist, a member of the mob, a liar, a cheat, a thief, or anything else that would relate him, in a hurdled way to even the weakest and humblest being, if he were thinking of God as his father? No, a thousand times. People who think of themselves as children of God are so proud of the relationship that they try to think, do and say those things which they believe will reflect credit on Him. Therefore, knowing God as a Father, is a constant incentive to live one's best. II. We do not have to make Him love us. Do we have to make our earthly fathers love us? Of course not. "The reason our fathers toll, sacrifice and pray for us is because of their love. Even when punishment is administered, the underlying cause is love. If earthly fathers love their children without being induced or persuaded to do so, how much more does God love us without inducement or persuasion on our part. III. All that he has He has for us. We are told in the Bible that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." Everything is His by creative right. If we are His children, we are heirs to all that belongs to Him. Therefore, it is entirely in order to ask our father for the things we need. Too many people believe it is all right to pray for soul needs but not for bodily necessities. If we trust Him, God will supply all our physical as well as spiritual needs. Verily all that He has He has for us. IV. All that He is, He is for us. God has all power. We, as His children, are no weaker, if we lean on them, than the Everlasting Arms. No enemy is strong enough to harm those who trust Him. God knows all things. If He is our Father, how comforting is that thought. If we fall victims to sin, God knows just how strong 'was the temptation. God is everywhere. Oh, how joyous the thought that my Father is everywhere! If I am weak, He is there to give strength; if alone, His presence comforts me; if in the dark, He is my light; if foes assail and friends forsake, my Father is present to protect. Negroes thinking of God as their Father, should be optimists indeed. He will take care of His own. Make sure that, by lives consistent with His will, we are His very own then "smile at Satan's rage." God will make for us friends from among those who oppress. If you could have attended the Oklahoma State Interracial Meeting some weeks ago you would agree with me on that point. White men and white women, representing the best of their race in intellect, morals and religion, took a stand on the race question, as generous and as broad as the Christian religion could make it. They pledged themselves to get behind the interracial program with all the force at their command. Let us rejoice in the fact that all God is in the perfection of His attributes, He is for His children; and that, thank God, includes the ebon-hued sons and daughters of Ham. COLORED SCIENTIST, DR. CAR- VER OF TUSKEGEE RE- CEIVES SPINGARN MEDAL FOR 1922. Developed 165 By-Products of Peanut and 115 of Sweet Potato The Spingarn Medal, awarded annually for the most distinguished achievement by an American citizen of African descent, goes to Dr. George Washington Carver, of Tuskegee, for 1922, it has been announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The award was made by a committee composed of Bishop John Hurst, Chairman; Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Dr. James H. Dillard, Osward Garrison Villard, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dorothy Canfield Fisher and Dr. John Hope. The medal is awarded to Dr. Carver: "in consideration of his services in agricultural chemistry, his recent recognition by a British Royal Society, and for lectures on agriculture during the last year before white and colored audiences, particularly in the South, where his clear thought and straightforward attitude have greatly increased interracial knowledge and respect." Dr. Carver's achievements include developing 165 by-products of the peanut and 115 of the sweet potato; making potash and china berry meal from the china berry; making a tonic for stock food from vegetable products. He also devised a dressing for canvas shoes, and white and colored washes from clay; used okra fibre for paper, rope cordage, straw matting and carpet, and made 20 varieties of laundry bluing. GOVERNOR SMALL DIRECTS WILLIAM PERGUSON THORN- TON APPOINTMENT TO POSI- TION ON ILLINOIS STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION Chicago Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last week took a hand in forcing appointment of William Ferguson Thornton to a position on the Illinois State Highway Construction. Young Thornton who recently graduated from the University of Illinois with the degree B. S. in Civil Engineering, was accredited to a position on the Highway construction work. He was requested to appear at Springfield to go to work. Upon doing so he was confronted with the statement that because of being a colored man Thornton had no right to expect to be appointed. This was resented. Upon report being received at the headquarters of the N.A.A.C.P., a strong telegram was sent to Springfield, with the result that Senator Adolph Marks, Representative Turner, and others became active in support of Thornton's demand, and on an appeal to Governor Small the Chief Executive let it be known that discrimination and segregation of the character complained of would not be tolerated. The Governor ordered that Thornton be placed on the pay-roll at once and given his appointment and that he be refunded all unnecessary expenses he was put to in the way of railroad fare and hotel bills. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1923 COL. CHARLESE E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, WHO WILL NEVER BECOME AN OLD TIME NEWSPAPER WRITER, HAS BEEN LIVING HIGH DOWN IN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. Shreveport, Louisiana.—There are people in this world who seemingly were born to find fault. They destroy and never build up, and want to be noticed or get before the public by striking at the men who are doing things. Now you are no doubt asking "What in the hen feathers is he talking about now?" If you want to know, you know already, for you have seen how some little two by cipher have been assailing Dr. Robert R. Moton on his hospital proposition, the man who placed himself right in the gate way and had the chariot to stop, and if it had not been for this friend of his race, Government hospital would be going at full force right now and all white folks doing the business and the colored people the patients. I take off my hat to Dr. Moton and I am asking God to give us a few more like him. He is not before the public with his name in the paper "I did this or that," but he is just going right on in the name of God doing his duty, and will continue to do so. He is the man who has been insulted, he is the man who is now abused by those he tried to help, and he will be abused as long as some people whose force would have the same result as the lightning bug would with that little light of his against the sun. You would never hear of them if they did not buck against a shining light. I know what has been done, and I know how this leader has had to suffer, what he has passed through. I know when his home was guarded, and it was absolutely necessary, and now in the face of all this the only reward is abuse. If my word stands for anything at all, put it down that I told you that Robert R. Moton is straight on the hospital question, and you must not expect him to answer every criticism or even answer the thousands of letters that have poured into limb by friends and others. Some days a whole mail bag full of letters are dumped in there asking about the hospital in some phase or another. Say nothing, saw wood and listen and you will soon see results of all. Since I took my pen in hand and wrote you that letter from Beaumont, Texas, telling you of the great work done by the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe, I am now ready and willing to say just a few words to you in this connection this week, and you will listen to me until I get through, and praise God for me, because I am telling you at this time some things you did not know and would not know if it were not for me. I am just taking a large hunk of bacon for myself this week for no one is throwing it at me. He is just Col. Charles E. Stump of the first water. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Texas, worked together just like the works in a clock or watch. All working to the same great end. They are making better homes, better farms, better schools, better churches, better men and women, better boys and girls. W. S. Willis, is just a leader of men, and he has around him some strong active men and women supporting him in his upward road to success. He is making the Pythian Grand Lodge one of the strongest organizations in America, and in the future he will give all of his time to its development and uplift. When I got through with the Grand Lodge affairs and wrote you that letter in Beaumont, then I loaded myself up and started for another part of the world. Dr. C. B. Charlton, and his wife, daughters and son seemed reliant to give me up and Prof. Pollard toted me to the stable in his automobile car carriage, and off I was for Texarkana. Of course you know this place because it has been placed on the map, and the people are talking about it. Reaching the town late, I went to the home of Mrs. S. A. Mathes, 802 Ash street, found her asleep, but the door was soon opened by her son and I was made to feel at home. I made my way to Shuteye Miss Mary E. Branch, a teacher at the V. N. & I. I. at Petersburg, Va., who was graduated last June from the University of Chicago with the degree of Ph.B. has returned to the city to enter the University in search of the master's degree. Miss Branch has done work previously at the University of Pennsylvania and the Columbia University. Miss Branch was accompanied by Miss Felicia D. Anderson, also a teacher at the V. N. & I. I. and corresponding secretary of the Alumni Association of which M. T. Bailey is president. town, where I remained until next morning. morning. We have people in Texarkana who are really on the map, but I did not come in touch with many of them this time, because I did not get around so much. I went to the home of Mrs. Duckie Kennedy, the woman who has made her way in her profession to the top. She is a hair dresser, attends to the hands and feet, and is just kept busy all the time, waiting on some of the wealth of this city. Her work commends her to them and she has all she can do all the time. She has a beautiful home. Miss Virginia Adama is the housekeeper, and they tell me she is one more cook. She is studying how to write with little marks, cooked or I should say crooked and straight, curves and bends. They can it shorthand. I would just put my phule brains out trying to put that kind of stuff in my head. They say she is doing well. Miss Carrie Adams is the nurse, and she is now at home rusticating, but will soon be working again. She has been at work in Austin, Texas at the deaf, dumb and blind school where she made a mark. Two days in Texarkana, and then one day in Hot Springs. I am not going to say much about it now because I am going back there next week and will have much to say to you about it and the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which is to convene there. There is where I found the people getting ready to entertain the Arkansas State Negro Business League and the National Negro Business League all in the same week in August. The people are certainly doing the proper things in this man's town. From there I made it to Hope, Ark, where I found about 200 teachers getting in line for work next year. They are reviewing. Now you see there is something wrong with me, for I thought that when a fellow graduated and got to teaching there was nothing else left for him to do. I thought that it was all in his head, for he was a "professor." That is just where I showed that I had rooms for rent. I recall how one fellow knew so much that all the people gazed and gazed at him, and wondered how such a small head could hold all that he knew. He was just one of them knowing men. It was conducted by Prof. Henry Clay Yerger, one of the greatest men in this country. He has been teaching about 40 years and his mind is both young and active, for he keeps up. He studies all the time. I was glad to meet him and those associated with him in this good work. I saw how these people were at work. While in Hope, I heard of the wonderful work being done by the Malones and I just had to shout right out in school. You see I know Prof. Aaron E., and then I know Mrs. Annie M. Malone. I know their struggles, and how they have grown and how God is now using them. He made them custodians of some of his money, or stewardies, and they are using it for the Glory of God and the uplift of humanity. Just $10,000 contributed by them recently to the Medical Department of Howard University. The reason for this contribution, says Mr. Malone, "Is to help the large number of students and physicians who are desirous of attaining more efficiency in medicine and surgery. We have been prompted further to do this for the sake of the large number of Poro Agents and patrons, the Christian men and women and children who have been and are still hungering and thirsting for greater and more efficient attention from the profession of medicine." Back to Texarkana, and here I am this week or today in Shreveport, only to spend Sunday, and then off to Hot Springs for the big congress. I am here the guest of Attorney Charles M. Roberson, who is one of the leading lawyers in this country, and is now attorney for the National Baptist convention. I will have more to say about him and his work another time. Will bring this letter to a stop. CHARLES E. STUMP. Col.

Ignatius Lissner, superior of the Lyons, France African Missionary Fathers to which congregation the new priest will be attached, and the Revs. James O'Mahoney, Bernard J. Quinn, Thomas O'Keefe, Timothy J. Shanley and John F. Curran. Father John, who is a native of Grenada, B. W. L., was educated at St. Joseph's College, Baltimore; Laval University, Quebec, and with the African Missionary Fathers in Holland and Carthage, Africa. Poor health forced him to give up his studies in Carthage and seek a more favorable climate. Hence it was that he came to North America to complete his studies. The new priest has a brother, a Dominican friar, in France, and a sister a nun, in Trinidad. He will celebrate his first solemn mass Sunday morning in the Church of St. Benedict the Moor. The sermon on that occasion will be preached by Mgr. John E. Burke, national head of Negro Catholic missions. He will remain in this city a short time and then proceed to the South to do missionary work among the colored people. THE DRIVE GETTING IN SWING Special from Nashville, Tenn.—The Promotion Board of the National Baptist Convention located at 409 Gay street, in an effort to raise ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to free the convention and its Boards of debt says: Pastors are appointing committees to canvas their churches for a N. B. C. Dollar. Programs are being arranged for the "All Together Day" the fifth Sunday in July—29th. An exchange of pulpits is being planned and a new pastor will be in many pulpits. Deacon Windham of Alabama sends in a pledge for $2,000. Mr. Moses McKissack of Tennessee pledges $1,000 and others of various amounts from $1.00 to $100.00. The whole thing is getting in a swing and the Drive seems an assured success. Many of the 18-267 preachers are being gripped with the idea of setting the pulpits of the 24,333 Negro churches on fire and seeing for once the 3,426,506 Negro Baptists turn out en masse to see them burn and glow with holy fire. From such a union of purpose they say, there will be an enkinding of enthusiasm and a uniting of Baptists. They are after calling down the old time Baptist fire which will burn up all selfishness and send a tingle of joy to the very finger tips of our racial and denominational life."

WISE WORDS FROM OSLER Sir William Osler, the noted surgeon, in one of his publications gives utterance to the following tribute to medical science and what it has done for the amelioration of the sufferings of the human race. He says "To man there has been published a triple gospel—of his soul, of his goods, of his body. Growing with his growth, preached and professed in a hundred different ways in various ages of the world, these gospels represent the unceasing purpose of his widening thoughts. "But the third and greatest glory is that the leaves of the tree of science have availed for the healing of nations. Measure as we may the progress of the world—intellectually in the growth and spread of education, materially in the application of life to all mechanical appliances, and morally in a higher standard of ethics between nation and nation, and between individuals—there is no one measure which can compare with the decrease of disease and suffering in man, womand and child. The psalmist will have it that no man may redeem his brother, but this redemption of his body has been bought at a price of the lives of those who have sought out nature's processes by studying and experiment. Silent workers, often unknown and neglected by their generation, these men have kept alive the fires on the altars of science, and have so opened the doors of knowledge that we now know the laws of health and disease." Just because you are up and going about your daily work is no certain sign that your health is good. A careful physical examination by a physician might show ailments that call for medical treatment without delay. * * * When a community is fly ridden and mosquito pested, the people of that community are alone to blame. * * * Good air is life. Do you get good air all the time? City air is not as good as country air and yet outdoor city air beats indoor city air. Open your bedroom windows and get outdoor city air. * * * The biggest bedroom ever built is not big enough for one person to sleep in with the windows all closed. Open your bedroom windows.

Delay in diagnosis and treatment, either by patient of physician, usually spells the difference between success and failure. * * * * Dr. Osler once said that, "From the standpoint of race conservation, gonorrhea is a disease of the very first rank and annually costs the country thousands of lives." * * * * More people died of cancer in Illinois in 1921 than were killed by tuberculosis in all its forms.

GREAT CHURCH GROUPS CON DEMN MOB RULE Southern Baptist Convention and Methodist Mission Board Voice Growing Sentiment Atlanta, Ga. (Special to The Broad Ax)—Strong statements adopted last month by the Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern Methodist Board of Missions are pointed out by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation as further indication of the growing determination of the South to eradicate lynching and mob violence. These bodies represent the two greatest denominations in the South, with an-aggregate membership of about six millions. The Baptists in annual convention in Kansas City, adopted the following: This Convention has repeatedly gone on record as unalterably opposed to all sorts of mob violence and mob rule. Perhaps the most vicious and the most dangerous form of lawlessness in our present day is found in the activity and violence of mobs. We both pity and condemn Bolshevism in Russia, and rightly so, while we have occurrences in our own fair land which would chill our blood with horror if they happened in Russia or in any other land, however, benighted or wanting in the essentials of orderly government. Mob violence defies all law, despises every principle and function of government, and tramples into the dust every human right. Mob violence in the South, in its beginning, most often occurred against individuals of the Negro race for attacks upon the sanctity of womanhood. Like all cancerous evils, it has spread. It is now practised for other offences, against the white race as well as the Negro race. But if the evil had remained or should be confined to the realm in which it began it is not to be tolerated by Christians or by other intelligent patriotic citizens. "In the recent months mob violence has become more active and menacing perhaps more than at any time previous, certainly for years. As if to make their crime all the more cowardly and diabolical in many cases the mobs have concealed their identity and increased the difficulty of apprehending and punishing their members by wearing masks. It goes without saying that no true, intelligent, patriotic American can or will give support or approval to mob violence whether the mob be masked or unmasked, much less can our Baptist people and preachers think of so doing. We cannot but hope that all our pastors and churches will studi- ously refrain from giving approval or support to procedure that can possibly encourage disorder in any form." The resolution of the Methodist Mission Board came up in connection with a recent lynching and was as follows: "Resolved: That a message of commendation and approval be sent Circuit Judge Walker for his fearless and righteous exposition of the law in his charge to the grand jury at Fayette, Missouri, at the time of investigation of a recent act of mob violence committed at Columbia, Missouri, and that "We hereby register our sorrow over the crime of brutal murder by mobs so frequently occurring throughout our beloved land, not only because of the unrighteousness of such deeds and the defiance of the law, but also because of the reflection upon our Christianity in the eyes of pagan people." ATTY. WATKINS AWAY Atty. S. A. T. Watkins, member of the law firm of Denison, Watkins and White, is in the South looking after legal matters pertaining to the supreme Lodge of K. of P.'s in Texas and Virginia, of which he is supreme attorney. While in Virginia, Atty. Watkins will visit the V. N. & I. I. at Petersburg. He is also attorney for the Douglass National Bank and The Pyramid Building and Loan Association. VISITORS CROWD INTO SUB- URBS Morgan Park, the beautiful suburb of the city, was crowded with visitors last Sunday among whom were Mrs. Mattie Ford and her niece of North Clark street; Lee Andrew Emery and Miss Florence Talbet; Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and many others.

Parabola Equation Counts It is much more important for an individual to be able to recog and make allowances for the $ ^{M+} $ nucleation equation than to know all about hydrogen atoms or some other physical fact—Dr. Harry W.

For Cavendish says Cardinal Wolsey was wont to carry "a fair orange, filled with a sponge of vinegar against pestilence." Strav Bits of Wisdom Fortune, like other friends, delights rather in favoring the young than the old.—Addison. Mock seams and a mock fit that will not outlive the first laundering cannot deceive the woman who is in wife in the ways of hosiery buying. It is the cloudy, thickened ankle that betrays the stocking that would masquerade as something it is not. A stocking to keep its fit must be seamless, fitted in the knitting, or it must have a genuine seam down the back. In either case the threads will converge toward the back, and the texture of the stocking will be the same at the ankle as it is just below the horn. A stocking that is shaped after the weaving has the fabric crowded together at the angle. This makes it thicker and darker. Also the threads run perfectly straight with no convergence. It is a simple matter for the woman buying hosiery to lay the ankle against the top of the stocking to compare the texture and at the same time examine the thumbs to see whether they run straight or converge. The woman who learns to do this insures herself against shapeless hosiery. For two seasons, now, fashion has plinned her faith—and with good reason—to the treatment of sleeves. Beginning with models of excessive width, they have ranged through various stages of fullness to the close, tight sleeves that are a feature of some of the newest gowns. Almost without exception, sleeves are long, but that is the only thing on which they do agree. Some show puffs above the elbow or at the wrist; others have ruffles over an extremely tight wrist band or gantlet cuffs in triple-tier style; and pet others are sleated, or long and circular or leg of mutton. Generally speaking, they're highly ornamental, showing clever trimmings and embroidery. History Classed as Satire. History is properly nothing else but a satire on humanity. C. J.

Hang the furs out in the sun for several days, then give them a good beating and shaking up to be sure that no moths are in them. Brush well. Boll some flaxseed, then dip a cloth in the solution and wipe the furs with this lightly. This will make the furs look nearly as bright as new. Wrap a lump of camphor in a cloth and place it with the furs. Wrap the furs in a newspaper that is without holes or breaks, or in paper big. Paste the edges together securely, or the furs may be placed loosely in a box. Paste a strong strip of paper over the crack left between the box and its cover. If there are no moths in the furs when placed in the box they will be safe without camphor or tobacco. Another very good way is to put the furs in a strong paper sack, tie the sack securely at the top and store in a dark place. To dry-clean any kind of fur, first warm some clean bran carefully in a pan, stirring occasionally with the hand so that it will not burn; rub the warm bran into the fur for some time, then shake and brush until free from the bran. You can do the work better if all linings and stiffenings are removed and the article is spread out flat on a board or table. Moths will not stay where there are cloves, so put some cloves in the bottom of trunks and wardrobes, in the folds of blankets and other woolen articles, in the pockets of coats, and in other places where moths are likely to lodge. The cloves are agreeable in odor, and can be easily shaken out. A pleasant perfume as well as preventive against moths can be made as follows: Take one ounce each of cloves, caraway seeds, nutmeg, mace, clinnamom and Tonquin beans. Add as much oris root as will equal the other ingredients all put together. Grind all well to a powder and then put in little bags and place the bags among your clothes in drawers, trunks, boxes and other places. Lines to Be Remembered.
