The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Bishop Archibald (Allhog) James Carey has no Moral Right to set Himself up as the Infallible Leader of the One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Colored People Residing in this City, so Long as He is Unable to Control His Own Wayward Son, Col. Madison Davis Carey. AT THE TIME THAT COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST STOOD UP IN GREATER BETHEL CHURCH IN THE PRESENCE OF MAYOR WILLIAM E. DEVER AND LOUDLY DECLARED, "THAT HE WOULD NEVER REST UNTIL HIS SMOOTH CHUM BISHOP CAREY WOULD BE SELECTED AS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION."

MADISON WAS CONCERN HAVE STARVE THOUSAND TIM Sometimes we feel that it is far beyond the understanding of any human being outside of the mad house to arrive at the conclusion why the so-called decent and respectable colored people in this city and in other sections of the country will continue to tamely permit Bishop Archibald Allhog James Carey to lord over them the way that he does all the time. His vaulting ambition is to look upon the vast majority of the colored people at his sevile or willing slaves and by compelling them to look up to him as their lord and master places him in a better position to lift plenty of easy money right out of their pockets. Without saying a thing about his past immoral conduct at the time he lost his wet holy ghost hat while attending the A. M. E. Sunday School reunion at Milwaukee, Wis., he still has the nerve to pose as the new moses of the colored race in America. Here in Chicago he and his old tricky political pal, Col. De Priest, have in some way or other held out the idea to Mayor William E. Dever that, without any question about it, that he is the infallible leader of the one hundred and fifty thousand colored people residing in this city, notwithstanding the fact that Bishop Carey is one thousand miles away from being able to control the moral conduct of his wayward son.

GOOD WILL PROGRAM COVERS TENNESSEE Interracial Committees Active All Over State LEADING CITIZENS ENLISTED Results Achieved Include Hospital, Library, Parks, Schools, Correction of Grievances Nashville, Tenn—(Special to The Broad Ax.)—Tennessee continues to make fine progress toward better race relations and improved conditions for its colored population, according to the reports of J.

Carey, who was arrested only a few months ago and landed in the Cook County jail house for failing to support his four bright and beautiful children. At the time of the arrest of his son, the lady Bishop, Carey, was out of town and it is said that Mrs. Carey 'induced Col. De Priest to dig up the three hundred and sixty-nine dollars in order to spring Col. Madison Davis Carey out of jail. Not far from that same time a great meeting was held at Greater Bethel Church for the sole object of inducing Mayor Dever to select Bishop Carey as one of the members of the Board of Education and Col. De Priest bossed over the meeting and after blowing off a whole lot of steam he declared that he would never rest until Mayor Dever had appointed his holy bishop as one of the members of the Board of Education but up to the present time Col. De Priest is still resting and waiting. It was a wonder that the gods did not at that time strike Bishop Carey and Col. De Priest stone dead for attempting to pull off such a raw deal, while at the same time some of Bishop Carey's own flesh and blood were almost starving and freezing to death owing to the wild conduct of his son, Col. Madison Davis Carey. Bristol has recently opened Mercy Hospital, a modern, well-equipped institution for colored people, and in charge of a colored personnel. The interracial committee was behind the project and Mr. Clay was especially active in promoting it. The Knoxville committee is working for better housing and health conditions. The city attorney has drafted a b'ill which makes it unlawful to rent out in san'tary houses. In Chattanooga another park has been secured for colored children and three colored play ground supervisors have been employed. Howard High School was aided in securing a library, and a movement is well under way for a colored orphanage, for which the city and county have voted a substantial amount. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1923 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. Ex-First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, Republican Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. As He Has Always Been Outspoken in His Friendship for the Colored People, Every Co'ored Man and Woman Voter in This City and County Will, on Tuesday, November 6, Assist to Elevate Him to the Superior Court Bench. Hon. James W. Breen, Republican candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County (and be it remembered right here that both men and women can vote for him), it is so well and favorably known that he needs no long introduction to the many readers of this newspaper, for long since his good name, his honest dealings with his fellowmen has became a household word among all classes of his fellow citizens. For more than eight years he ably served as assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago and from 1920 up until recently he honorably served as the First Assistant Corporation Counsel with great credit to himself and to all of the people residing in the great city of Chicago. Many times in the past he has served as acting Corporation Counsel and as acting Mayor of Chicago, and at all times he falthfully discharged all of the responsible duties of those high positions, plainly In Memphis the Chamber of Commerce has a committee on race relations and many of the clubs are cooperating. A conference was held with the chief of police relative to the treatment of colored prisoners, and the street car management was asked to put a ban on discourses toward colored passengers. Decided improvement is reported in both regards. The Memphis committee is now planning a campaign for a colored orphanage. Excellent work is reported from Jackson, where the committee is well organized. Definite results have been achieved, also, in seventeen rural counties. More than a score of good school buildings have been erected. Three significant meetings of the State committee were recently held, in Chattanooga, Nashville, and Memphis. All were well attended and HON. JAMES W. BREEN ant Corporation Counsel of Chicago or Judge of the Superior Court of Always Been Outspoken in His People, Every Co'ored Man and County Will, on Tuesday evate Him to the Superior Court indicating that he possesses a well-trained or an even-balanced legal or judicial mind. As an evidence of the popularity of Mr. Breen in 1921, he made the race for one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County on the Thompson ticket, and he led the ticket, receiving more than two hundred thousand votes and he came mighty near in being elected at that time. Not one daily newspaper at that time had one word to say against his race for Circuit Court Judge and when he was defeated many of the daily newspapers strongly intimated that the voters had made a great mistake when they failed to elevate him to the Circuit Court bench. Mr. Breen, who always deports himself like a first-class gentleman, was at all times the most popular and well liked public official in the City Hall. The first part of 1922 Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson, at that time Corporation messages of good will and co-operation were delivered by representative leaders of both races. Among the distinguished speakers were P. L. Harned, State Commissioner of Education; J. B. Brown, State Rural School Inspector; Judge John H. DeWitt, prominent attorney; S. L. Smith, of the Rosenwald Fund; Mayor Paine and City Health Officer Durrett of Memphis; Bernard Cohen, president of the News-Scimitar Company; ex-Mayor Thompson of Chattanooga, and for the colored group, J. C. Napier, veteran banker and business man; Dr. T. O. Fuller, of Memphis; C. L. McAllister, of Howard High School; President W. J. Hale, of the State A. and I. Normal; Dr. L. S. Patton, Rev. J. C. Sherrill, and others --- Counsel of Chicago, selected Mr. Breen to work hand in hand with the City Council of Chicago to settle up the "race riot" cases of 1919 and to see to it that the survivors of the 26 colored people who lost their lives at the hands of the mob in this city in 1919 should receive their money without further delay at that time and be it said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Breen that he labored hard night and day in order to accomplish that object which he finally succeeded in winding up and the colored people received every cent which was lawtully coming to them through the efforts of Mr. Breen. Therefore as Mr. Breen always lets it be known that he wishes to be counted as one of the true friends of the colored race, it goes without saying that he will receive the solid vote of the colored voters of Cook County in his race for Judge of the Superior Count of this city and county. SULZER AND WALTON Oct. 1. 1923 To the Editor of The World: Regarding the situation in Oklahoma, I want to call the attention of your readers to its analogy to the case of Gov. Sulzer. The law of both New York and Oklahoma says that the Governor can be impeached only for wilful and corrupt misconduct in office. What charges the Legislature of Oklahoma will prefer against Gov. Walton we do not know. The Assembly in New York did not charge Gov. Sulzer with wilful and corrupt misconduct in office, but with something they alleged he failed to do before he became Governor. The Constitution of Oklahoma and the Constitution of New York both contain the following provision: "The Governor shall have the power to con- THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC BOSSES HAVE NOMINATED COMPLETE TICKETS FOR JUDGES OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. The old tricky man coalition is as dead as a door nail, for the vast majority of the voters residing in all parts of this city and county would not stand for the Republican an Democrat's political bosses to meet somewhere in a dark room unknown to anybody but themselves and select an even number of Democrats and the same number of Republicans all hand picked, leaving no show or chance for the voters to have the slightest voice in the selection of their Judges, for under their cold-blooded coalition scheme four or five votes would have elected any candidate for Superior or Circuit Court Judge whether he would have been fit or qualified. As it is now 46 candidates, 23 Republicans and 23 Democrats, are in the running for Judges of the Superior Court of Cook county and as only 23 out of the 46 can be elected, the people are in a fair position to select in their honest opinion the very best men for their Judges. The following are the Democratic and Republican candidates for Judges of the Superior Court of Cook county and for the other vacancies to be voted for on Tuesday, November 6: ( Twenty to be elected Republican Candidates—*Oscar Hebel, *Charles M. Foell, *Albert C. Barnes, *Huro Pam, *Marcus A. Kavanagh, *Wm. H. McSurely, †Emanuel Eller, Frederick B. Ross, †Hosea W. Wells, James W. Breen, †Howard W. Hayes, George E.

At extraordinary sessions no subject shall be acted upon except such as the Governor may recommend for consideration. (See Article 4, Section 4, New York State Constitution.) Certainly, Gov. Sulzer did not recommend his impeachment, and when the impeachment court overruled the law and this provision of the Constitution, in order to oust Gov. Sulzer from office, it was apparent to all unprejudiced lawyers and citizens that the court was acting in violation of the Constitution and in disregard of the precedents of the English-speaking world. If the Sulzer precedent is followed in Oklahoma the Assembly of that State can convene at any time, in any place, and by a majority vote impeach the Governor for any old thing, and the Governor at once is suspended and out of office until he is tried. When the Sulzer case was appealed to the Court of Appeals, that court rendered the following decision. I give it verbatim: In disposing of this appeal it appears from the record that the appellant has accepted and exercised the duties of an incompatible office, to wit, the office of Member of Assembly, to which he was elected in November, 1913, and to which he qualified on Jan. 7, 1914, since which time he has continued to act as such. The acceptance of said office of Member of Assembly, under the law of the State of New York, vacate the office of Governor. In view of the inconsistency of this decision, Mr. Sulzer's counsel, the late Senator John C. Spooner, made every effort to get the case into the Supreme Court of the United States, and only Democratic Candidates—*Denis E. Sull'van, *Michael L. McKinley *Joseph B. David, *Jacob H.

There are six municipal court judges on the Republican ticket, two on the Democratic ticket, and a former municipal court judge on each ticket.

It is the solemn duty of the electorate of this city and county to pick out and elect the very best men for their Judges, regardless of their politics. failed because it was held that the United States Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in the matter, notwithstanding Chief Justice White intimated that Gov. Sulzer's removal was illegal and unconstitutional. Was Gov. Sulzer impeached? The Court of Appeals tells he vacated the office! You will oblige every friend of truth and justice in the State if you will give this letter publicity on your editorial page. GEORGE W. BIXBY. We have always believed and we will continue to believe to the end of time that Governor Sulzer was handed a cold deck of cards and given a raw deal by the members of the Legislature of New York in 1913, and right thinking people everywhere are rapidly arriving at the same conclusion—Editor. WHITE PERSONS MOURN NEGRO Alexandria, Va.-Something unusual happened here when John Haskins, colored, was buried in St. Paul Cemetery, a white cemetery, and all the mourners at his funeral were white persons. For 41 years Haskins worked in the household of Josiah Smoot, white, wealthy lumber dealer. He had a room at the head of the stairs and as majordomo the whole housefull of servants were under him. At his death, it was found that the Smoot's will decreed that he should be buried in the family lot, and so the rules of the cemetery were temporarily suspended. The expensive metallic casket is said to have cost $500. and for the first time local colored fraternal societies turned out behind a family of weeping mourners, all of whom were white.

Under Act of March 8, 1879. EX-GOV. SULZER IN HIS OWN BEHALF To the Editor of The World: As several newspapers have called attention to the supposed analogy of Gov. Walton's case in Oklahoma and my case in New York, will you be good enough to say for me that there is no analogy? At a conference at the Executive Mansion in Albany the evening of Aug. 9, 1913, my friends advised me to sign a proclamation declaring martial law in Albany County and instruct the militia to disperse the Assembly because it was about to meet in violation of the Constitution of the State. Suffice it to say that I refused to sign such a proclamation, and said then and repeat now: "No man is a greater believer than I am in the supremacy of the law. No man, high or low, rich or poor, is above the law, no matter what he thinks are his rights or what he believes to be his grievances. No man must take the law in his own hands. Sooner than sign that proclamation declaring martial law to save my office I will sacrifice the Governorship, on the principle that the law is supreme and every man must bow to its supremacy." The fact that I was advised the Assembly was to do an unlawful act was no reason why I should take the law in my own hands. If I had to go through now what I did go through in 1913 I would do today just what I did then—submit to the civil authorities. WM. SULZER. New York, Oct. 1, 1923. [Name] [Name] HON. CHARLES M.

CHURCH IN SOCIAL WORK TO BE DISCUSSED AT URBAN LEAGUE CONFERENCE Bureau of Negro Work, Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will speak at the Kansas City, Missouri, to Be Scene of Lively Discussion by Leading Social Workers and Clergymen The Urban League Conference which is to be held in Kansas City, Missouri, October 16th to 19th, promises to furnish a platform for interesting debate on the means by which social service organizations and churches may co-operate for the improvement of the living conditions among colored people in America. Dr. A. A. Graham, Corresponding Secretary of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, who has just prepared an interesting report on the recent World's Baptist Conference at Stockholm appearing in the October "PORTUNITY" magazine, will preside at the session on Friday night, October 19th when the subject for discussion will be "COOPERATION BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND SOCIAL AGENCIES." The speakers will be the Reverend Robert Nelson Spencer of Kansas City, Mo. J. R. E. Lee, Extension Secretary of the National Urban League and the Reverend Elbert W.

Among the other distinguished speakers will be Miss Jul'a Lathrop, former president of the National Conference of Social Work and Chief of the Federal Children's Bureau, prior to the incumbency of Miss Grace Abbott, the present Director, who also will speak on "CHILD HEALTH"; Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beatty, Executive Secretary of the Tampa, Florida, Urban League and one of the vice-presidents of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs who will speak on "WHAT OUR CHILDREN NEED IN THE SOUTH"; Will W.

The headquarters of the conference will be the Community Service Urban League, F. T. Lane, Executive Secretary, 1518% East 18th street, Kansas City, Missouri. LABOR CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO The Chicago Urban League has recently sent out a letter to more than a hundred industrial plants trying to find new openings or additional jobs for colored men and women. Of all the answers, only two give any encouragement—of these one says he can use "only a few" and the other wants eleven (11) skilled workers. These plants are so well supplied that they can fill what few vacancies they have from time to time, from applicants at their gates. Employment figures of the League also reflect the scarcity of work. In May the League filled 1,299 jobs; in June, 1,214; in July, 875; in August, 580. September showed a slight increase by furnishing 685. But there were almost four (4) applicants for every job the League had to give, for we had 2,745 applicants in September. This should suggest to persons planning to come to Chicago that they either bring along enough money to last them, or that they should have somebody already here to get a job dined up for them before they leave some. THREE BROTHERS, ANTI-KLAN LODGE, GETS START IN ILLINOIS Paris, Ill.—An organizer of the Three Brothers society has been in the city several days lately. The membership is made up of Catholics, Jews and Negroes, hence the title. In addition, any citizen, regardless of nationality, is eligible, provided he opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. It has been stated that the purpose is to raise a fund of $5,000,000 to secure legislation outlawing the Klan. COL. CHARLESE. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL IN LANE HOSPITAL AT SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., AT THIS WRITING. HE IS STILL IMPROVING IN HEALTH AND HE WILL SOON BE ABLE TO STRIKE OUT FOR TEXAS. Lane Hospital, San Francisco, California.—If you have never been in a hospital, then you are not in position to know what I am going through here now, and have been for three or four weeks. This is indeed a repair shop, and they are kept busy all the time repairing this old trame, and keeping the bugs from getting hold of you. "No, never alone," here, for they are just watching over you night and day, and you talk about attention, that is a part of the name of the Lane and Stanford Hospital of San Francisco, and I am willing to give it to them. Before telling much about the treatment here, I want to express my thanks to Prince Hall Lodge No. 52 Chicago, Ill., for $10; President John E. Gregg, of Wilberforce University $10; Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, $30; C. C. Spaulding Durham, N. C., $100; Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Broad Ack. —; Mrs Carrie A. Tuggle, B'irmingham, $5 The Third Baptist church, San Francisco, flowers; D. D. J. Crawford, Bakersfield, Calif., flowers; Rev. S. B. Butler, fifty cents. From this you will see that I have been thought of, and then I have had the pleasure of smelling some of my flowers before I crossed over to the other land. You may tell the people that I have seen some real fine flowers. It was a fine lot of flowers brought me by Mrs. Dennis, the widow of Rev. Dennis, who brought the flowers from the church, and then came a messenger one evening from a florist in this city with a large box of flowers, saying they had been telegraphed by my friends in Bakersfield, and attached to the box in an envelope was a card, "Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Rev. and Mrs. D. J. Crawford." Already Dr. Crawford had sent me word if I needed him or money, just touch the wire. Mr. and Mrs. F. Bowyer called to see me every day, and are still calling. Mrs. Dennis, Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia, H. B. Britt, and Rev. Dr. Allen, acting pastor of the Third church, and Rev. Dr. Byron of the A. M. E. Zion church, all dropped in to say a word of good cheer to me. Just as you see the old engines that pull the wagons across the country, back into the round house stable to be repaired, so it was with this old engine of mine, one day. I found myself at the door of the Lane hospital. I registered, answering some questions, and then to a doctor, who put me through an examination for one or two days, and then said that it would be necessary for me to come inside in my condition. He said I needed special attention and at once. I got me a little bag, which had been made me by Mrs. Elsie L. Stewart, and walked up the hill to the hospital. I could hardly make it up there, but I got there, went into the office, presented my admission from the doctor, saying I had some big named disease called "Myocarditis and Aortitis" and by a messenger, the clerk who had divested me of all metallic substances, such as "In God we trust," watch, and other valuables, to the "Male Medical Ward No. 1." I was met by a little short man, little over two feet tall, called Scottie, who took my paper admitting me, and went off, and he returned with a nurse, Miss Goodwin, and they both felt my arms, and then Miss Goodwin put a little piece of glass in my mouth. I thought at first it was a stick of candy, until she insisted that it go under my tongue, and let it remain there until she took it out. She was all smiles. She took it out without saying a word, looked at it, and then they escorted me to a little room, at least Scottie did, and told me to take a bath. I was just out of the bathtub, but I had promised to obey all rules of the hospitals, hence did not hesitate in taking another dip in. Then Scottie brought me some big legged pants, and a big shirt which was to tie in the back, and closed in front, and a bath robe, but I could not get my arms in the robe, but he had them all sizes, and brought another which he put on me to tie in the front. He told me to follow him, and he escorted me in a big room with 18 beds in it, and assigned me to one of them. Most of them were occupied. Now here I am, in front of me a young Chinese, to the left an Englishman, and to the right a Chinaman, and there were many other nationalities I did not know. into the bed I got by means of a chair, for the beds are high, and I stretched out, to await further action. Soon a man with a tin book in his hand came to me. That book was called my chart, and believe me, he did ask me some questions, which he wrote down in the book, and he was followed by another young man, Dr. J. P. Sweeney, who brought along a small Underwood typewriter, and he asked me some, many, questions, and then when he was through with that he got one of the bug listening things, and put it all over my chest, all over my back. Had me say ninety-nine, had me to cough, and do something else while he had that thing in his car listening at what them bugs were planning to do with me. He seemed that he understood all bugology, and then he went away. Soon another young woman was around, filled with smiles, and sne put one of them glass things in my mouth, felt my arm. When she had gone then a man came along with something, and put a hole in my ear, took out some blood and he went on off. Another came, tied a rubber around my left arm, stuck a little pump in my arm and got hin some blood and went on. Then I was asked for a specimen of this and a specimen of that and a specimen of the other, until I asked, "Lord, what are they going to do with me?" The Lord did not answer, but I remember Jesus said, "Lo, I am with you." They were around often with that glass candy, under your tongue, and feeling your arm. It was understood that I was not to get out of bed for anything, but I had not been informed, hence early one morning, I got up took a bath, had my eats, and then came to me about 7:30 a young woman, all smiles, and began to put a screen around my bed. "I am to give you a bath this morning, Mr. Stump," she said, but I told her that I had taken a bath already. She reported to a little woman sitting at the desk, and she looked at me, and said, "I don't believe him, he is not to get up, and you do what you were told to do." So I got the second bath, and it did not give me a cold. Now about this young woman, she was Miss Abbie C. Doak, the head nurse, and I thought that she was the meanest woman on earth, but when I got better acquainted with her, I find that she is one of the very best women in the world. She is all brains. You see the young women are under training, and they are to carry out orders if they would succeed, and then the woman at the head must be positive and see that they are well trained. I tell you I am glad that I was there, and I will never get through thanking Miss Doak and her girls. I have not told you of going over to another place, where I had to stop my nose from doing its part, and make it all go through the mouth 'into a big vat, then climb revolving steps, never getting up, and a time beater by my side. Then to Mrs. Florence M. A. Wilcox, who had me to fully disrobe my left foot, and put it in water to soak, and then both hands in water, while she went in a room, closed the door, and worked behind closed doors. I learned that she was taking some kind of picture, representing the heart action or something I like that. She is indeed a fine woman, and I shall have more to say about her next week, because I am to go back to see her and she is to take something which they called metabolism. She is an expert in her line, and a wonderful woman. Up to this far in the hospital I have heard no reference made to color, we are all one family working together, and it is just like it should be the world over. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop now. Rev. A. M. Townsend, of the Sunday School Publishing Board, of the National Baptist convention, Nashville, Tenn., has sent out his S. O. S. or something else. The Baptists of this country must raise $50,000 by November 1. It is real necessary for the building of the new home for the Publishing Board, which will cost $50,000. Now is the time for the Baptists to show their real blood, and I believe they are going to do it. Let every fellow put his shoulder to the wheel and put down his money. I wish that I was well and out, and I would drop in just one hundred bucks. God help us to do our duty. I have some other things to say later. I am sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Norah F. Taylor, of Chicago. She was a great woman One by one we are dropping out. CHARLES E. STUMP TEXAN URGES PASSAGE OF DYER BILL BRICE COLLINS, DEMOCRAT, IN LETTER TO DALLAS PAPER SAYS HE HOPES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL UTILIZE WHOLE ARMY TO ENFORCE IT. New York—Brice Collins, a Texas Democrat, has written to the Dallas News, urging enactment of the Dyee Anti-Lynching Bill to curb the mob in Texas, it is announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His letter follows: "In a recent issue of The News, W. E. Doyle of Teague, Texas, states that the 'Coolidge cohorts will reintroduce the iniquitous Dyer Bill with a view of making mob violence a crime against the Federal Government, that the new idea will deprive the State of fundamental rights', and that the deprivation of these rights will result in 'centralized government'. Granted, Mr. Doyle. Now, let us view the question from another angle. Every citizen of this Nation has been guaranteed certain 'fundamental', inal-enable rights, among which are the right to present a writ of habeas corpus when lawfully detained, the right to be tried in a duly constituted court when accused of crime, and the right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' when unconstricted of crime in such a court. "I insist that when either of these sacred 'fundamental' fights are in a large degree abrogated in a State when men and women are killed, maimed, beaten or tarred and feathered by extra-legal groups or mobs, and the perpetrators of the crimes remain unwhipped of justice through THE STUDENTS OF HISTORY ,SHOULD READ THE TEN GREAT BOOKS October 6, 1923.

"I am a Texas-born Democrat, and do not think I ever had a relative who was not a Democrat or who ever lived in any other than a Southern State. A few years ago one could have made me believe that the time would ever come when I would surrender my Jeffersonian ideas for the Hamiltonian principle of centralization, and even yet I have not crossed the Rubicon. But I had a thousand times rather live under a centralized government or autocracy than a mobocracy or reign of minority terrorism. Lamar County, considering its large population, has been comparatively free from mob activity during the last two years, but in probably at least fifty Texas counties the wielders of the six-shooter, the wet rope and the tar bucket have perpetuated repeated atrocities without legal sanction. "If the government authorities of a State will not or cannot uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then J. a Southern-born Democrat, am anxious for the passage of the Dyer B'll, and hope that the Federal Government will utilize the whole United States army, if necessary, in enforcing it. I abide every law and favor the legal enforcement of every law, good or bad.

Postage 10c. "The Widening Light" is a collection of verse covering a considerable period of composition. Mrs. Clifford is an "occasional" writer, and songs of various happenings in the Negro world, The Negro Players on Broadway, The Silent Protest Parade, The East St. Louis Riots, The Tercenary of the Landing of Slaves at Jamestown. The Lynching of Mary Turner. She tells the Negro's lack of opportunity, and she praises the great men of the race, Douglass, Dunbar, Braithwaite. Her poems show a deep horror of injustice and cruelty. There is a gentler note. A lover of nature, she speaks of "the tiny cloud that oer the hilltop clung" at Grassmere; of the ocean, gripped by the tide, of "the beetling night fading toward the dawn." Her pictures of out-of-doors are warm and fragrant, but the book stands primarily as an indictment of the white man. "Whose, whose the condemnation then, if I Shame the false lips that lured them with a lie?" Thus the mother cries who has given two sons, her first born and her last, to war that promised freedom and democracy and that ended in a lie. She inveighs against prejudice, the filthy sore "Polluting all the currents of pure a'r, Dispersing its wile atoms everywhere."

Its pastor, Rev. Father Simon, assisted by Rev. Father Brown, of Evanston, Ill., conducted the beautiful Episcopal funeral services. The church was well filled with many of the warm friends of Mr. Waring.

What a wasteful thing is race prejudice! Man has taken over this noble planet and is moulding it with his very human hands. Certainly he needs all the love and kindness and ability of every race to keep his world from becoming a mud ball, grimy, ugly, gnawed away by parasites. And yet he spends the fast speeding years in preventing his neighbor from helping him! It is ludicrous as well as pathetic. Mrs. Clifford sees this and thus voices her hopes of the future. And ye, who view life darkly thro' a veil. At length shall read its riddle face to face! The hidden springs of beauty and the grace Of fuller living wait beyond this trail Bloodstained and steep: there stands the Holy Grail Whose healing waters shall the woes efface, Of plod'ding pilgrims, who still seek the place Where men of every race shall say, "All Hail!"

He was also an active member of the Appomattox Club; the Umbrean Glee Club; he was grand keeper of the Records and Seal of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Illinois, which position he had held for many years. On the day of his funeral beautiful floral offerings were in evidence from points in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Illinois. Rev. Father Brown accompanied the remains to Lincoln Cemetery and committed them to the grave. The sympathy of his host of friends flows out to his constant and devoted wife. Dr. Mary F. Waring, over the great loss which she has sustained in the death of her husband. --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 W. CRIP WOOD SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF HON. JAMES W. BREEN WHO IS ONE OF THE BEST AND TRUEST FRIENDS OF THE COLORED RACE IN CHICAGO. The name of Hon. James W. Breen, late First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, appearing on the Republican ticket for one of the Judgeships of the Superior Court of Cook county should cause the breast of every colored man and woman to swell with pride. The following are a few outstanding facts concerning his steadfast friendship for the colored people and the various positions which he has secured for them in the past: In the year of 1913 when the old Thirtieth ward was crying for someone to have courage enough to come out against T. J. Healy for Ward Committeeman, there was found a gentleman on the west side of the old said ward who possessed that courage and also a will to fight. When he came to the east end of the ward he found a man whom some of his opponents call "Blind Crip Wood." After having had a conversation with this man as to the probabilities of his success, Mr. Breen asked his man to organize the ward for him into precinct clubs, after which Mr. Breen placed Wm. Crip Wood as a "District Leader" of the east end of the ward. This position, we can truthfully say, never before had been placed on the INTERESTING NEWS IETMS By Charles Stewart, Jr. The week beginning October 8th was of triple importance to all Chicagoans. October 9th was the fifty second anniversary of the great conflagration which took place in 1871 Every school boy and girl knows the legend of Mrs. O'Leary's cow, how she kicked over the lantern in the barn and started the great fire. So accordingly to safeguard our city we have set apart this week, known as "Fire prevention week"—I say we, and by this I mean President Coolidge issued a proclamation setting apart this day as a National fire prevention day. An ounce of prevent'on is worth a ton of fire extinguishment. Arthur Seyferlich, assistant fire marshal, addressed the large assemblage of students at the Lane Technical High School on the causes of fire and how to prevent them, such as throwing lighted matches around promiscuously, throwing cigar butts in the streets and other public places. Fire Prevention Engineer Prindville and First Assistant Fire Marshal J. C. McDonnell, who is also chief of the fire prevention bureau, gave interesting talks to the pupils of the Chicago Public schools. All Chicago is agog with good resolutions to prevent fires in the future. With these methods of prevention thoroughly instilled into the youth let us not keep these resolutions for just one week, but for the entire year and even for years to come. May we never have a repetition of that great disastrous fire of '71. *** October 12th commemorates the day when Christopher Columbus discovered this continent which seems good to all and is known in our history as Columbus day, and even tots in the Kindergarten can tell their parents the story of how brave Christopher started to find an unknown land with his three small ships and sailed and stiled till he discovered land. * * * The last item of interest in this week is the setting apart of it to teach youths and old men as well, more about pictures. It has been said that the public schools do not devote enough time to the beauty of art, consequently the school boy does not get a true idea of the beauty of pictures and anything that tends to produce beauty in them, consequently Mayor Dever issued a proclamation setting apart this week as a week to study pictures and learn all about them that can be done in this length of time. George Sands tells us that "Books whisper to the heart, but pictures speak to the soul," so you can thus see how important is it for us to know pictures and be able to appreciate them in order to bring out the best there is in us. There is an adage that artists are born and not made, but in this modern time in which we live we can cultivate anything we desire to be. Our hats are off to Mayor Dever for this proclamation of his, which lets us step aside and pause a bit from the practical everyday life to take time to study the, beauty of the things around us, and who knows but what many a Michael Angelo or Rosa Bonheur is the undeveloped product of many school boys and girls of the present day?

Classes by these two instructors will be held there each Saturday from 3 to 6:30 p. m., at their house of rythmic dancing. Chicago's homes were well represented in the charming crowd last Saturday. *** A Whist Club has been organized by twelve boys and girls of Woodlawn and they held their first meeting Friday afternoon, October 12, 1923. An interesting program was rendered by this young set in honor of Columbus Day at the home of Miss Geneva Turnwald, 6538 St. Lawrence avenue. The members of this club are Misses Lauretta Beaty, Geneva Turnwald, Julia B. Jackson, Viola Landers, Florence Barnett, Mildred Banks and Messrs.

They are the rooms for dreams. They are, of all rooms, nearest the heart. What woman does not thrill with joy when she has the chance to "do over" a bedroom—perhaps a drab room with no meaning or life or personality? There are literally hundreds of delightful wall papers for her to choose from—for designers have excelled themselves for bedrooms. She can have exactly the kind of bedroom to suit her individuality—and a bedroom must suit, for late at night when one is tired, one does not wish to be jarred; and early in the morning it is tragic to be irritated. There are sunny yellows that the graysted morning in the world cannot discourage. There are papers where flowers bloom so sweetly that the blackest winter morning can't be cheerless. There are such quaint old patterns straight from revolutionary walls that even if a trolley jangles by outside it seems unreal and far away. And if you are one of those people like the man who said he could bear "anybody but a person who smiles before breakfast"—there are quiet papers of dignified elegance that fit no matter what mood. And what they all express is a deep peace that brings "—innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." There was a time when people made bedroom papers with restless figures—birds that never alighted on flowers half an inch away from them—and other unsatisfying pictures that drove the one who had to lie in bed and watch them into a mild insanity. And then the day of geometric figures—that one counted and counted going in all directions while one gradually weni mad. But those times are past—and the newer papers for bedrooms are restful, peaceful, quiet—papers that never annoy as one sees them day after day. Milwaukee Sentinel. There was a time not so long ago when sports clothes were for the purpose of costuming one for golf, tennia riding and so forth. Today all this is changed. Perhaps it signifies that life is a game and should be treated as such. At any rate, the practical influence of sports clothes makes itself felt on nearly all occasions. This is due no doubt to the simplicity and comfort found in these modes. A prominent moving-picture actress wears a charming frock which had its inspiration from a sport model. It is of cream silk crepe piped with red on collar, cuffs and pockets. The overblouse is of the regulation cut and comes well over the plaited skirt. 5100 Federal Street Chas. Krutckoff, Pres. J. E.
