The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Many Colored Men, Residing In the Second Ward, Will Never Vote At Any Election Unless, They Receive Some Money for Their Votes. That Class of Colored Voters and the White and Colored Politicians Who Bribe Them, Should be Disfranchised and Sent to the Penitentiary for Ten Years. IT IS CONTENDED BY SOME OF THE CLOSE FRIENDS OF COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST THAT HE RECEIVED FIFTEEN TO TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE HEAD DEMOCRATS AND FROM SOME OF THE THOMPSON REPUBLICANS TO BLOW IN AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE IN THE SECOND WARD FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEBAUCHING AND CORRUPTING THEM AND INDUCING THEM TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS AT THE LATE SPRING ELECTION. IT IS FURTHER CONTENDED ON THE PART OF SOME OF COLONEL DE PRIEST'S FRIENDS THAT HE ALWAYS INTIMATES WHILE IN CONVERSATION WITH THE BIG WHITE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS THAT A GREAT DEAL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE PROVIDING THEY CAN SEE SOME MONEY IN SIGHT. THEN IT IS NO TROUBLE TO VOTE THEM LIKE SO MANY HOGS AND CATTLE. Ever since the good old days of the late Perry Hull or for more than twenty-five years the old second ward has been a black plague on the body politics for ever since those good old days the vast majority of the white and colored leaders of the Republican party and also the leaders of the Democratic party, have invariably regarded the colored voters as their easy, prey and with spending a little money among them and with plenty of free whisky that they can handle or boss them to suit themselves and the result is that today not one politician out of every hundred, white or colored, residing in the second ward, are vitally interested in the moral progress of the colored people in that ward. The Dixons and Col. C. Dewey who blew into this town from Texas and he claimed that he knew or understood just how to handle the colored man from a political point of view, all followed in the footsteps of Col. Perry Hull and under their reign with the great assistance of Col. Edward H. Morris and former Judge E. Henecy, the poor, ignorant and short-sighted people were debauched, degraded and corrupted to a far greater extent than they ever had been before. Col. Dewey, as the boss ring master at that time, provided a big red badge for every colored voter residing in the various precincts of that ward and early on the mornings of the primaries and the elections aside from the big red badge which was worn by every colored voter in the precincts he was handed five, dollars with instructions to call for more money if he desired to freely spend it for some cheap fighting whisky with further instructions that they must assist to carry their precincts at any cost and if they needed more money in that direction all they had to do was to call for it. As the red hot primary battles raged between the contending factions barrels of cheap tanglefoot whisky and barrels of money were poured into the fighting and while the excitement was running at the highest point and the white and colored leaders felt that they must win out at any cost and in many instances colored men received as high as five and ten dollars for their votes. That was the ruination of the colored voters in the second ward for at every primary contest or election hundreds of colored voters in that ward under no conditions will vote for anybody or anything unless they first receive some money for their votes. It is no trouble at any election or primary contest to observe hundreds and hundreds of colored men standing around the polls in the second ward and there is nothing doing with them unless they receive some money for their votes for men or measures cut no ice with them and the pay master must come down the line with two or three dollars for each voter before they will become interested in the primaries or in the election. For example in 1906 the leaders of the Republican Party nominated Hon. F. L. Barnett, for one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago and on the day of the election he rushed around among the colored people in the second ward and urged them not only to vote for him but also for the other Republican candidates on the Republican ticket but as he had no money to spend among the voters he lost out in his own ward, but he was elected by five hundred majority, that being such a small majority he was easily counted out, whereas if the colored voters in that ward would have rolled up three to five thousand majority for him there would not have been the least doubt about his election and from that day to this we would always have one judge on the Municipal Court bench M. Governor of the Great State of Illinois, Who Will Be One of the Leading Speakers at the Wendell Phillips High School, Sunday Evening, July 14. like all of the other races in this city aside from the Chinaman. In 1920, the late James A. Scott was a candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago-on the Thompson ticket, and not having a large amount of money to spend among the voters in his ward he was left standing securely chained at the拍 by them. At the same time Hon. Len Small, Hon. Robt. E. Crowe and many of the other white Republican associates of Mr. Scott had no trouble in carrying the second ward by large majorities but Mr. Scott was turned down cold by his own people for he was the only candidate on the Thompson ticket who was defeated in his race for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago. It might be truly said that Mr. Scott died of a broken heart and he went to his grave firmly convinced that he had been sold out and traded off by the slick and rascally colored Republican leaders of the second ward who stealthily stabbed him in HON. FRANCIS X BUSCH, THE ABLE AND BRILLIANT CORPORATION COUNSEL OF CHICAGO, BANQUETTED AT THE CONGRESS HOTEL Last Wednesday evening, all the members of the legal staff of Hon. Francis X. Busch, the extremely popular corporation counsel of Chicago tendered him a delightful banquet in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel, Goodfellowship was the order of the Attorney James M. Devaney continues to come up in the world. Some years ago he was employed in the money order department of the Chicago Post Office, attending law school in the evenings, and in time successfully graduating in the law. From that time on he has been making plenty of money and sports a bankbook and has a good fat sum of money THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 the back in the dark at the very time he needed true friends and votes. In view of all of the foregoing there is only one way to stop all of the debauchery of the colored voters living in the second ward and that way is to disfranchise and send to the pen at Joliet, Illinois for ten years all of the white and colored politicians both Democrats and Republicans who spend large sums of money on election days and primary days in bribing and buying up the colored voters and the colored people who sell their votes should also be disfranchised and sent to the pen along with their white and colored political masters. Let us take the case of Col. De Priest. It has been stated by some of his friends that he received fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars at the late spring election from the head Democrats and from some of the Thompson Republicans and that he had the right to spend it all for moonshine whisky or any other way he saw just so that he induced or bulldozed or cursed the colored people evening. Among the many distinguished guests present were Hon. William E. Dever, Mayor of Chicago and a majority of the Judges of the Circuit, Superior, Appellate and the Municipal Courts of Chicago. Hon. J. Gray Lucas, Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago; Hon. James H. Randle, Assistant Attorney for the Board of Local Improvements; Hon. Earl B. Dickerson, Assistant City Attorney of Chicago and Major Adam E. Patterson, Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, were also present and were on the same in the bank to his credit. He is now a member of the law firm of Brady, Rutledge and Devaney, with law offices in the Otis Building. Mr. Devaney is a strong supporter of this newspaper. in the second and third wards into voting the Democratic ticket and if we had the proper kind of laws governing elections, Col. De Priest would be in a whole peck of trouble right now for attempting to induce the colored people in the second and third wards to vote to suit him and not to vote to suit themselves. So far no one has heard of Col. De Priest dividing up any of the fifteen or twenty-five thousand dollars for delivering the colored voters to the head Democrats with anyone, so the money must be still laying around somewhere where he can easily grab it in his Demo-Republican hands. Just as long as the colored people in this city permit themselves to follow in the footsteps of tricky and slippery political leaders they can reasonably expect to be sold out at every election or primary and enable their false, selfish and cold-blooded leaders to make fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars in buying and selling them like so many dumb hogs and cattle. level with their white associates and they warmly received the glad or right hand of fellowship from all those present. Every person present heartily joined in the jollification of the evening in its fullest sense. In his short talk, Mr. Busch declared that he "was well pleased with the splendid showing that each and every member of his legal staff has made since he has been in office; that he feels confident that he will be able to make it one of the strongest of the executive departments of this great cosmopolitan city." guest of Mr. and Mrs. Sandy W.

That old boat sounded a blast and the gang: plank went-to the dock, and it slowly moved out. It took two boats to ‘turn this old big fellow around, and then the last I saw of it, it was mov- ing out toward the ocean. I tell you it was a big one.

Phenix, vice principal of Hampton and director of the summer school. North Carolina comes second, with an enrollment of 214 (189 women and 25 men). The total enrollment for the first half, which will close on July 27 is now 697, distributed as follows: Alabama, 6; Arkansas, 12; Delaware 12; Florida, 14; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 26; Louisiana, 14; Maryland 35; Mississippi, 14; New Jersey, 2; North Carolina, 214; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 6; Pennsylvania, 1; South Carolina, 39; Tennessee, 14; Texas, 11; Virginia, 256; West Virginia, 7. In the Hampton Institute Summer School there are representatives from 19 States-585 women and 112 men. The second half will begin on July 30 and continue through August 31. During the twelve-week session Hampton expects to reach 1,000 teachers. The summer school is conducted under the auspices of the State Board of Education and the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. Teaching: A Public Service Principal J. E. Gregg in his recent address of welcome to the visiting teachers expressed his satisfaction in the quality of students represented at this summer session. Doctor Gregg spoke on "Teachers as Public Servants." He indicated the work which teachers are doing in lifting the levels of thought and living among men and women everywhere. "We must have," he said, "in our teaching a background of reverence and loyalty and devotion to the very highest ideals that men and women know. We need these ideals to put our work in its proper place and to keep it there. "There is no room in the teaching profession for the man or woman whose mind is fixed primarily on money or primarily on selfish advantages. The sooner they get out of teaching the better for themselves, their schools, and the children with whom they have to do. "There is not any work in the world more interesting, more hopeful, more rewarding, more delightful more difficult, more honorable, more glorious than the work of teaching." Sixty Jeanes teachers, who are doing industrial supervision work in Southern States, form part of the summer school, which has been organized to provide instruction for high-school teachers, county-training-school teachers, supervisors, home economics teachers, physical-education teachers, and elementary teachers. Peace Through Education The Rev. John MacBeth, secretary of the Scottish Missionary Congress which assembled in Glasgow last fall, who was on his way to Tuskegee recently spoke as minister and educationist on the relation of Hampton Institute to the objective of Christian education. He declared that the Scottish Missionary Congress was a part of a campaign to teach the boys and girls of Scotland how to have an intelligent appreciation of other races. He spoke specifically on the strategic importance of Christian teachers and of the present crusade which is being made throughout the world among thoughtful people to secure peace through Christian education. Mr. MacBeath also declared that the Ten Commandments are not limited by geographical frontiers; that the laws of truth operated universally and uniformly; and that the whole world is interdependent, not only industrial- HON. WILLIAM·W. MAXWELL ly and commercially, but also spiritually. "Hampton Institute," he said. "is helping to develop men and women so that they can make their contributions to truth, which is one throughout the world." INSPECTION THAT PROTECTS An important factor in safeguarding the city's milk supply lies in the proper inspection and supervision of the sources of production. This means that the beginning point is at the dairy farm where the milk is produced. For many years the Department of Health has maintained a force of dairy inspectors which though inadequate for the territory covered, is still able to render a service of material value in protecting Chicago's milk supply. As illustrating how this inspection service works out, the following little story is submitted: Not very long ago the Department of Health in accordance with recommendations made by one of the dairy field inspectors shut off the supply of a certain dairy farm located near Prairie View, Ill. This dairyman had been disposing of his product to a creamy located in Libertyville. At the time the shut-off order was put into effect the dairyman was notified what he would have to do as to improving conditions on his farm in order to have his milk readmitted to the Chicago market. About two weeks later he made applications to be reinstalled and in accordance with his request the inspector was detailed to make a re-inspection and report as to conditions. As to what was found can best be told in the inspector's report, which reads: "This dairyman has a herd of 18 cows. All of them with the exception of three, are in an exceedingly emaciated condition. All of his milch cows, with the exception of the three mentioned, are covered with lice. He has lost 12 cows in the past year. It is my opinion that these cattle died from starvation. There is no feed on the farm except a patch of meadow which the dairyman was contemplating plowing for corn. Although the milk house and cowbarn are in passably fair condition, the methods here are very slack; manure is piled in cow yard; tools, harness and rubbish are piled in the milk house. I find he has left dead cattle lying in cow barn as long as 10 days before dragging them out and then refused to bury them. I would suggest that he be not released at this time." The dairyman whose farm is the subject matter of the, foregoing report does not seem to have very clear and definite ideas as to what constitutes successful dairy farming. Unless he gets a broader vision than he now seems to have, it will be a long time before milk from his farm can be sold in Chicago. It is to be hoped, however, that he will be brought to see the light as he should and that his farm can be brought up to the standards required, which would mean the production of clean, safe milk and a profitable business for the dairyman. It is the kind of inspection work that was done in this case that is of real value in safeguarding the city's milk supply and protecting the babies of Chicago. * * * If both your money and your health are in jeopardy, your health should have first consideration. * * * Foods that look inviting and taste good are not necessarily of the highest food value or the kind you should eat for your health's sake. * * * The best way to keep well is by constantly striving for that end. It is a matter of persistent and personal effort. In other words, neglect your health and your health will neglect you. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 Joyland Amusement Park This is the finest furnished complete Amusement Park in the entire U. S. A., owned and operated exclusively by colored people. Everything new, you cannot imagine what this Park is unless you visit for yourself. The Park is protected by a host of young men of the race who are instructed by the management to give to every one the best protection available. The management invites the citizens to visit the Park. They have arranged to accommodate Picnics given by Churches, Sunday Schools, Clubs of every kind and Fraternal Societies during the season, they invite them to call at the Office to make arrangements. We want to help you; we want you to help us make this the greatest place of amusement in the entire City. The season of the year is at hand when most people can and should cut down their meat diet, and eat more of vegetables, fruits and salads. THE BAPTIST DRIVE IS ON IN REAL EARNEST Their Young People Assembled in Congress At Hot Springs Last Week Adopt the Following As young Baptists, now assembled in our Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress, from Florida to Maine and from California to Georgia, we have learned of the embarrassing debts against our parent-body, the National Baptist Convention, its struggle to free itself of these debts and to build our Sunday School Publishing House and furthermore, having learned with interest of its plans, we pray for the success of the efforts to conduct a $100,000 Drive, under the Promotion Board. It is with peculiar hope that we do heartily express our abiding faith in, and our love for that body and we pledge to it the undivided devotion and helpfulness of our young manhood and womanhood in "seeing the Drive through. Therefore, Be it resolved: That the Baptists' "ALL TOGETHER DAY," fifth Sunday in July (29th Day), shall be made the concern of us all here assembled and. Be it further resolved: That on our return home, we shall confer with the pastors and officers of the churches with which we are connected and pledge to aid them in the wishes of our Mother Body being carried out on that day. Be it further resolved: That throughout the confines of our Baptist Territory, wherever the day is partially or wholly observed we, the young people of the Baptist churches, will as organizations or individuals, take part on the N.B.C. Committees if appointed, or on programs, work to have every Baptist give a National Baptist Convention Dollar that our parent-body may be-free from debt and do its biggest work. Resolved lastly: That we make the "ALL TOGETHER DAW" a subject of prayer, and that on our return home, we shall call to the attention of S.S. and B.Y.P.U. we represent, this very important appeal of the parent-body to the end that all Baptists everywhere, "IN HIS NAME," join in putting the Drive over.—"C." PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOME Every day in every way is demonstrated the fact that a larger building is needed to accommodate the increasing number of girls, who come from various sections of the country to improve their opportunities by education or industry. The Phyllis Wheatley Home is one of the most helpful social agencies in the city. It offers the stranger girl a pleasant home at reasonable rates, safeguards and protects her from the many temptations which surround her in a big city. We need a budget of six thousand dollars to carry on our work this year. Who will be the first to respond to our appeal? The Domestic Science Department meets every Monday night with Dr. Fannie Emanuel, director of activities. Outside girls are cordially invited. The home girls are busy preparing for their first public exhibit early in this month. Mrs. Belle Roberts, our faithful superintendent, was called to Louisiana, Mo., this week on account of the illness of her mother. Miss Letitia Craig, recently of Washington, D. C., has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club was the guest of Mrs. Mayme Covington, 3746 Grand boulevard, at the closing meeting Wednesday. Mrs. Moreland, night secretary of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, Cleveland, O., and Mrs. F. C. Blevins, who has just returned from her former home at Birmingham, Ala., were the speakers. The hostess served delicious refreshments. KLAN PARADES IN "NEGRO" PROTEST AT VET HOSPITAL Tuskegee, Ala.-More than 1,000 Ku Klux Klansmen, said to be representative of every section of Alabama. Tuesday night filed through the streets of Tuskegee in silent protest against the placing of a Negro personnel at the Negro war veterans' hospital here. Many cars came from Montgomery filled with men to take part in the parade. The hospital was built for rehabilitation work by the veterans' bureau. Gen. Hines, director of the bureau, is expected here soon. TUSKEGEE REPORTS SHOW DECREASE IN LYNCHINGS Mobile, Ala.—Alabama for the first time in many years has not had a lynching since January 1, according to the official records of the research department of the Tuskegee Institute. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Arkansas, 1; Florida, 7; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 1, and Texas 1. In the United States for the first six months of 1923, fifteen people were lynched. Potanical Observation. Hardly any brown or orange-colored flowers are of value for making scent.

IMPROVING Mrs. Mamie E. Herron past most excellent queen of Leona Council and national deputy of A, U. K. & D. of A., who has been ill and confined to her home, 3825 Vernon Ave., is improving. Chinese Idea of the Deluge Chinese idea of the Deluge. The tradition of a deluge in China corresponding to the flood as related in the Bible is embodied in the Chinese book "LI-KI," where it is stated: "And now the pillars of heaven were broken the earth fell to pieces and the waters inclosed within its bosom, first forth with violence and overflowed. Man having rebelled against heaven, the system of the universe was totally disordered, and the grand harmony of nature destroyed." Tribute to Agriculturist. In a moral point of view, the life of the agriculturist is the most pure and holy of any class of men; pure, because it is the most beautiful, and vice can hardly find time to contaminate it; and holy, because it brings the deity perpetually before his view, giving him thereby the most exalted notions of supreme power, and the most fascinating and endearing view of moral benignity—Lord John Russell. Takes Time to Mature Genius. Takes Time to Mature Genius. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as defending the charge that America had not get produced a single man of literary genius: "When we have existed so long as the Greeks did before they produced Homer, the Romans Virgil, the French a Racine and a Voltaire, the English a Shakespeare and a Milton, we shall acquire from what untrifly causes it has proceeded that the other countries of Europe, and quarters of the earth, shall not have uscribed any poet of ours on the roll of fame." Roman Remains in Britain. Excavating for the foundation of a new factory to be erected at Keynsham, near Bristol, England, workmen recently unearthed Roman remains. The Daily Chronicle of London reports the discovery of coins containing skeletons, a Roman needle about six inches long, a spoon and a brooch. The brooch is believed to have put the finishing touch upon the toga of a Roman gallant. Earliest Known Bread. Earliest Known Bread. Kasava bread is still to-day a bread-stuff of millions throughout tropical and sub-tropical America. It is the most ancient form of the "staff of life" of the whole Western Hemisphere. The next oldest has its best known type in the Mexican mali-tortilla, which can be obtained at groceries and restaurants in Manhattan and other big cities. Saying Goes Back to Old Times. Saying Gose Back to Old Times. The saying "not worth a rush" dates back to the days before carpets were invented, and the floors were strewn with rushes. When an honored guest was expected fresh green ones were cut and spread—but people of little consequence had to be contented with rushes that had been used, while still humbler folk got none at all. Nation's Stability Assured. "A cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dryeth the bones," said Solomon. Not until Americans lose their ability to laugh in the face of disaster and become the victims of the broken spirit that dryeth the bones need we entertain fears for the future of this republic.—Washington Post. Truth. The Greek philosopher, Protagoras, maintained that all is illusion and that there is no such thing as truth. But Aristotle refuted him thus: "Yōu proposition is true or false; if it be false, then you are answered; if it be true, then there is something true and your proposition fails." Device for Cutting Twine A novel device for cutting the twine with which bundles of grain are bound is intended to be worn on the worker's left hand. It consists of a leather sheath to which it is attached a copper support for a detachable and highly tempered steel blade having a saw-tooth edge so shaped that the twine is cut with little effort. Attractive Invitation. Junior gave a party to his little friends, and insisted on writing his own invitations. He was precious youngster, especially in his diction, after the formal invitation had been written he added: "There will be indoor and outdoor amusements, 'eats' and other activities." Bentile to Be Avoided Centipedes have an exceedingly venomous bite, that of the giant centipede, a native of Venezuela, being almost equal to that of the shear. Unlike the scorpion, they do not sting, but bite by means of a pair of strong "forceps" placed horizontally at the mouth. Keep Fit. Good health is essential not merely to enjoyment of life but to making the most of life's opportunities. Good physical and mental condition is the prerequisite of straight thinking and logical conclusions. "Keeping fit" should first engage the attention of every one. Odd Superstitions In Java, when search is made for the body of a drowned person, a live sheep is thrown into the water, and is supposed to indicate the position of the body by sinking near it. To procure rain Peruvians used to set a black sheep in a field, pour chlor over it, and give it nothing to eat till rain fell. Otherwise, No! If you would be a hero to your valet you must be your own valet.

Azotes Appropriately Named. The first name given to the Azores was Acores, and while the date and name of the discoverer of these islands are uncertain, it is conceded the name was given because of the great number of hawks flying about, acore signifying hawk in Portuguese.

Some Ground for Belief. Some Ground for Better. A belief met with through all the south of France is that the position of a drowned body may be discovered by a floating loaf of bread. Possibly the only scientific basis is that the loaf is apt to be carried by a current of water just as a body is. Quaint Chinese Custom A little silver dog, which a bridegroom wears as a pledge of fidelity, and a pair of silver ducks which the bride wears to insure prosperity and a large family, is a quaint custom of Chinese wedding ceremonies. Roosevelt on Training Children. No parents should simply be gentle and merciful to their children. Justice must be meted out first, if the children are at fault; mercy must come afterwards—Theodore Roosevelt. Avoid Impatience. Impatience turns an ague into a fever, a fever to the plague, fear into despair, anger into rage, loss into madness and sorrow to amazement.—Jeremy Taylor. Extremes That Are Wrong. Some are so very sturdy of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.—William Penn. Boastful Cat.

By desiring what is perfectly good, even when we didn't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the Divine power against evil—widening the spirits of light, and making the struggle with darkness narrower. — George Pilot.

There is no record of wild tigers ever having roamed the African jungles. Bautiful Picture of Death.

A scheme for eliminating London smoke and fog by placing high-tension electrical apparatus on every lamp-post has been suggested by Prof. K Wilson, an English scientist. Parsimony Condemned. The ways to enrich are many, and most of them foul. Parsimony is one of the best, and yet is not innocent; for it withholdeth men from works of liberality and charity—Bacon. Factories Poorly Lighted.
