Hon. James W. Breen, Republican candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, was born, raised and educated in this great city, and he is truly a thoroughbred Chicagoan. He was ushered into this grand old world August 31, 1873, and after drinking in all the education that he possibly could from its public schools, from which in time he graduated with all the high honors which were due him. At the end of that period he attended the Bryant and Stratton Business College and the Old Chicago Athenaeum where he very successfully completed his commercial education. Later on in life he graduated with the highest honors from the Law Department of the Lake Forest University, and he was admitted to the Chicago Bar and the Illinois Bar in 1897, and a short time after that date he received his commission to practice in the United States Supreme Court at Washington D. C. Arcanum, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Illinois State Bar Association, Lawyers' Association of Illinois, Hamilton Club, and the Thomas David Branch of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic. From 1907 to 1911 he served with Honor to himself and to the citizens of Chicago as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, under the late Mayor Fred Busse. In 1915, Mayor William Hale Thompson selected Mr. Breen as Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago and as he made good in every way in his humbler position that in December 1920 he was chosen as First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago and to the great credit to himself and to all of the people of Chicago he at all times discharged all of the responsible duties of his honored position with great legal or executive ability. In 1919 Mr. Breen was happily united in marriage to Miss May Lewis. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Breen that right from the very start he met with great success in the practice of his chosen profession and for many years he has been one of the popular members of the Chicago Bar Association, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, Irish Fellowship club, Royal [Image of a man's ear and neck] A.

He Is a Steadfast Apple and Thousands of Colored City and County Will Vote for THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 Hon. Joseph B. David, Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, Tendered a Brilliant Banquet by Lawyers, Doctors and Leading Men in All Walks of Life Col. W. E. Mollison, President of the Cook County Bar Association, Ably Served as Toastmaster Last Monday Morning the A. M. E. Preachers Met at Greater Bethel Church and Endorsed Judge David for Re-election to the Superior Court Bench Hon. Oscar Wolff, Republican Candidate for Coroner On Friday night, the nineteenth many friends of Judge Joseph B. David, one of the outstanding figures in the life of Chicago, gathered about a brilliant board to testify the admiration for him and to pledge their services to bring about his re-election to the bench, which he has adorned. The banquet was in the beautiful Tea Rooms of the National University of Music, at 3672 South Michigan avenue. This is the building made famous by the ownership of Madame Schuman-Heink and is one of the show places of this great city. The very walls and halls are rich in the memories of the grandeur of other days. The dining room was brilliantly lighted and tastefully decorated. The music by Miss Odell Stone was classic and classy. Her wonderful voice was brought into play, as the toastmaster said, to have a "civilizing effect upon the banqueters." The toastmaster was Attorney W. E. Mollison, President of the Cook County Bar Association, who managed the getting up of the banquet. He was up to his usual high standard. He had a happy phrase upon the introduc- Hon. Oscar Wolff, Republican candidate for re-election as coroner of Cook county, was born in the great city of Chicago in 1875 and has resided in it from that time to the present, or, in other words, he has spent all of his life in the city of his birth. At the early age of thirteen, owing to the death of his father, he was forced to quit public school in order to assist in the support of his three younger brothers. To improve his education during this period he was given private lessons by the Reverened Galpin and Professor Clintock at night. Until he was twenty-two years old he worked as a clerk and at that time went into the dry goods business, selling his interest in the firm in 1911. He served as chairman of the Committee on Streets and Alleys on the Board of Local Improvements of the City of Chicago for seven years—the most important committee on the board, and is the only member who has served so long a period since the organization of the board. His most important accomplishment during this period was the opening up of three main thoroughfares on the south side of the city by negotiations with property owners without any expense to the city whatever, namely Ewing avenue from South Chicago to Hgewisch, Torrence avenue from South Chicago to the city limits and 103d street from Torrence avenue to Cottage Grove avenue across Lake Calumet. For a period of twenty years the citizens of the Calumet region urged city officials to open up these thoroughfares and over twenty improvement associations went on record begging and pleading for said relief. The usual procedure would have been court condemnations, which would have involved fees for commissioners tion of each speaker bringing out of each his very best. Mr. George C. Adams was first called upon, and responded with a high tribute to Judge David as a just judge. Mr. W. J. Latham, who was introduced as a former neighbor of the toastmaster, and who was introduced as a "Come here" had measured up in a service with "Been Heres." Mr. Latham told of his experiences in the court of Judge David, paying him the tribute that even after deciding a case, the loser felt that Judge David had done his duty and felt no bitterness towards him. Major A. E. Patterson, Assistant Corporation Counsel, of Chicago, was introduced as one who had attained distinction as a lawyer, and had "stood upon the perilous edge of battle and carved his name in the purple testament of bleeding war." The major delivered a strong and pleasing address. Miss Viollette N. Anderson was introduced as the first of her race who laboured under the handicap of sex, to be entitled to wear the lawyer's robe. She told of many incidents in the career of Judge David as a lawyer and amounting to approximately $50,000, in addition to court costs, lawyers fees and expert fees. The city would also have been obliged to pay judgments for the land taken, amounting to upward of $150,000. The people of the Calumet region all agree that this was one of the outstanding features of the Thompson administration. Mr. Wolff resigned as a member of the Board of Local Improvements in May, 1922. Mayor Thompson refused to accept his resignation until the month of August, 1922, when he became real estate director for the sanitary district of Chicago, which position he held until December 5 when he was elected coroner of Cook county. After taking office and carefully studying the records of the office of coroner, he concluded that the number of deaths by automobiles was appalling and started a campaign against reckless and careless driving and unnecessary auto deaths, effecting a 5 per cent decrease in the number of such deaths in this county, instead of the usual 25 per cent increase annually heretofore. To accomplish this he visited the principal eastern cities with a staff of newspaper men at his own expense gathering information to be used in framing a law which would make the streets of our city and county safe for the pedestrian, as well as for the safe and sane driver. With this data at hand, a law was framed and introduced in the legislature where its passage was opposed by the Chicago Automobile Club and Lee O'Neil Browne, one of the oldest members of the House of Representatives. This bill was framed after the Massachusetts law, and in spite of the fact the legislature was shown the records of Boston. Massachusetts, there was not sufficient in- the ability he displayed at the bar, and his wonderful service on the bench. Mr. Wendell E. Green was introduced as a lawyer who had come rapidly to the front and was making the elder members of the Bar sit up and take notice. Mr. Green paid Judge David an eloquent compliment. Hon. Ferdinand L. Barnett, was presented as the Nestor of the Bar. The speaker had known Judge David "away back when" he practiced law. Mr. Barnett was very earnest in his commendation of the Judge for his firmness and fairness as a judge. Col. Franklin A. Denison was introduced as a leading citizen, a great lawyer and a state official. Col. Denison was at his best. He told of an important case in which Judge David's brief was used to recast all the blanks in the state's attorney's office. He gave it as his opinion that Judge David's knowledge of habeas corpus law was as thorough as that of any lawyer at the bar. The Colonel said that he held competence and heart and brain above all questions of party and even of race. His address was warmly applauded. Continued on Page 2 terest aroused to gather a quorum in any committee meeting and the bill was killed in committee. During the first three and one-half months of this year Boston had two auto deaths and Chicago had one hundred and eighty-one; the entire State of Massachusetts had fifty-two such deaths and Cook county had one hundred and ninety-two during the same period. New York had less auto deaths than Chicago with twice the number of cars. During the past ten years Mr. Wolff has been engaged in the real estate business, dealing only in industrial sites in the Calumet region. He has been a republican all his life, is a member of the Hamilton Club, the Masons, the Woodmen of America and numerous other societies and clubs, was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention from his district and has always taken an active interest in public affairs and questions concerning the public welfare. He resides with his wife and one son and daughter at 10611 Avenue H, South Chicago. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Coroner Wolff that for 30 years prior to his advent into the coroner's office there was not one colored man who was thought to be good enough to serve in any capacity in that office, but being broad and liberal minded, Mr. Wolff had no more than settled down in his new and responsible office before he had the manly courage to select a bright and up-to-date colored man in the person of Mr. E. M. Cleaves as deputy coroner of Cook county. That is one reason why the colored men and women voters in this city and county should, on Tuesday, November 6, fall if line for Mr. Wolff and assist to put him over the plate for coroner of Cook county.

In 1921, Mr. Breen made the race for Judge of the Circuit Court and he received more than two hundred and thirty thousand votes at that Judicial election and as he is more than capable to serve in high judicial positions and his whole army of warm friends freely predict that he will be elected Judge of the Superior Court, Tuesday, November 6, and that he will make an ideal Judge.

Poage understands how to deport himself like a highly cultivated gentleman all of the time he has made many friends among the colored people residing in all parts of this city; that fact, alone, was one of the main reasons why he was endorsed by the Cook County Bar Association. Mr. Poage's name is the eleventh name on the ballot. At the present time he is ably and very creditably serving as Assistant Attorney of Chicago and with his long legal experience as a Master-In-Chancery of the superior Court entitles him with the great aid of his many colored friends to be elected Judge of the Superior Court, Tuesday, November 6. ```markdown ``` J.

Wells very easily ranks with the very best Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago—that he is also able to measure legal arms with the best Judges sitting in the higher courts of this city and county. Judge Wells has always stood close to the common people and that is one reason that he is so well and favorably known to them in every nook and corner throughout Chicago and Cook County. He has always been widely known for his warm friendship for the colored people, and they always receive a square deal from him whenever they appear in his court rooms and it goes without saying that the colored people will roll up a big vote for him on Tuesday, November 6, for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. He has been highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association and by the Lawyers' Association of Illinois and owing to his long, honorable record on the Municipal Court bench of Chicago he is amply fitted to move on up higher in the judicial world. 1920 one of the High-Class Judges of 1911 and on Tuesday, Novem- to His Present Honorable Posi- HON. HUGO PAM URBAN LEAGUE NEWS SERVI- ICE About 75 per cent of the children of the United States have rickets during the first two years of life, according to Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Federal Children's Bureau, who was one of the speakers at the annual conference of the National Urban League last week at Kansas City, Missouri. It is no discredit, but rather a great pity, that the proportion of colored children suffering from this affliction is much higher than that of white children. Of course, these are not all extreme cases, with enlarged heads and bowed legs, but most of them are serious enough to cause flat feet, chest deformities, etc. Rickets can be prevented. The causes have been found by medical science to be lack of sunlight and improper diet. Sunlight is free and should be used in abundance, and a liberal proportion of fresh air taken at the same time will help make it hard for old man tuberculosis. At the Infant Welfare Station nearest you, free of charge, or from your doctor, for a small fee, you can get advice on the proper feeding of your baby. For your baby's sake you cannot afford to neglect this precaution. Do not put it off. Go at once. Better spend a little time now and be rewarded by a good, strong, healthy-bodied child than and later be forced to say, "If I had only gone!" Don't forget this-if your baby has no signs of rickets now, and develops them after you have read this article, in all probability IT WILL BE YOUR OWN FAULT. JAIL FOR PARIS CAFE OWNER WHO OUSTED NEGROES. Paris—Rene Renault, proprietor of El Garron, a night dancing resort in Montmartre, was recently given a fifteen days' suspended sentence in prison for ejecting two Negroes from his place last August on the complaint of several American tourists. El Garron dispensed with its Negro jazz band early this summer because of Americans who objected, and then early one morning in August when two Negroes entered the crowded resort, ordered champagne, picked up a couple of girls and began dancing, there was a general protest. M. Renault gave a signal and a flying wedge of waiters rushed the Negroes from the place. Outside the police grabbed and arrested the Negroes, thinking they had been fighting or had refused to pay their bills. There was great surprise when the blacks gave their names as Prince Kajo Tovalon and his brother Marc, well known in Paris society and mixed up in politics. Black deputies representing France's Negro colonies interfered, appealing to Premier Poincaré, who issued a communique demanding that "foreigners," meaning Americans, treat all French citizens with equal respect. Mrs. Amelia Walker, 5737 Lafayette avenue, who was on an extensive visit with friends for three months visiting Atlantic City, Philadelphia, New York and Delaware, has returned home pleased with her eastern trip. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 REV. JOHN RUSSELL HARVEY CONTINUES TO MAKE EVERYTHING HUM IN CONNECTION WITH HIS COSMOPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER. A BUILDING SITE HAS BEEN SECURED IN THE FIFTY-THIRD BLOCK ON SOUTH WABASH AVENUE WHERE A COMMUNITY CHURCH OR HOUSE WILL BE CON- HON. JOSEPH B. DAVID, CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT, HIGHLY PLEASED WITH HIS COLORED FRIENDS WHO TENDERED HIM A ROYAL BANQUET. The Sunday evening Forum of the Cosmopolitan Community Center is quite a treat to this neighborhood and many interesting speakers will be heard from time to time. The musical part of the program will always be well worth hearing. The sweet voiced singer, Madam Florence Cole Talbert, was well received. Mrs. George R. Garner, her brilliant accompanist, was at her best, Mr. Eugene Burdette, one of the most progressive young musicians of the city, rendered the piano number, "Drifting," which was interpreted in a very masterful way. He has also composed some very excellent songs. Master Edward Piersall, a young boy of ten years, also caused a "stir" with the piano number, "Nearer My God to Thee," with variations, by Ryder. These two young men are students of Professor Samuel Taylor School of Music at the Coleridge 36th place in the Binga Bank Building. He is one of the best known piano teachers in the city and especially adapted to laying the foundation work. His work always speaks for itself and from time to time the forum will be supplied from his large class of students, some of its musical numbers. Major A. E. Patterson's address was full of valuable information and was enjoyed by that brilliant audience, which packed the auditorium of the Farren School. This is a step in the right direction, and something so much needed in this part of the city, for the cultured population are coming out south, and as they are spending a great deal of money educating their children, it is well to know that some one is making an opening for these children to be seen and heard outside the cabarets and dance halls of our great city. This center will surpass all others in this respect, as the parents of this community have always been inter- Concluded from, Page 1 Hon. J. Gray Lucas, Asst. Corporation Counsel, was introduced to tell of Judge David's position on the race question at the American Bar Association. He added his own experience before the highly honored guest of the evening as a judge of the Superior Court. He warmly commended Judge David for his fairness as well as his backbone. He urged the bar and public to re-elect Judge David. Mr. Earl B. Dickerson, in a happy vein, told of the necessity for earnest work in putting Judge David back upon the bench. The toastmaster then introduced a young man whom he claimed to have discovered and mentioned that he resembled his uncle Frederick in so many ways that he predicted a great career for him, and that Mr. Douglas had justified the expectation expressed for him. He concluded by saying that Mr. Warren B. Douglas has plenty in him which will come out as opportunity offers. The Company applauded to the echo as Mr. Douglas arose and admitted that there must be a lot of good in him. He made a strong and powerful appeal for Judge David. Mr. Douglas' address was heartily applauded. Hon James G. Cotter, Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, very eloquently lauded Judge David and freely predicted his re-election to the Superior Court bench. At this point, Mr. Fred Bernstein was introduced as the Marcus Hanna of Judge David's campaign. Mr. Bernstein is a lawyer of eminence, a Master in Chancery and member of the firm of Bernstein, Zolla and Bernstein, with a part of its firm in New York City; being special counsel for the Swiss government. Mr. Bernstein is a charming after dinner speaker and kept the company first deep in reflection and then in uproarious laughter. He impressed the company that he could manage a presidential campaign if called upon to do so. He captured everybody by his ready wit and deep philosophy. At this point, Mr. Edward H. Morris came into the banquet hall and as he entered was noted by the toastmaster in these words: "The program has just been about concluded, but a ested more in the building of character and homes with pleasant surroundings for their children. The Neighborhood Protective Association has also been a great uplift in this community and is lending some support in the establishment of a wholesome neighborly spirit, which means much to the coming generation. Watch The Broad Ax for all the doings of the Cosmopolitan Community Center. Mr. Ernest Williamson, our popular undertaker of the South Side, is one of the "human dynamoes" that is moving the great work at the Center. They are indeed fortunate in getting such a valuable couple as the Williamsons to head this great work. They are the type that help to build up any good thing, for they are broad business people, not living for themselves only, but with their wealth are trying to help the less fortunate up the hill of life. They need not wait to leave this world for their reward, as they are reaping it through the good they are doing now. If we had a few more such business men in our city not so many of our young people would stray away, for all the most of us need is a helping hand and a smile as we pass along. The rest is easily accomplished. Mr. Julius F. Taylor paid his respects to the Community Center last Sunday and helped swell that splendid contribution of nine hundred dollars with one of his bank notes. "So mote it be." Somebody knows just which side to approach the other fellow's pocketbook from. All of us are anxious to have a new building soon. And that is all it requires a few of our dollars and it will be ready for our use. A monument to the community, not to any one denomination, but for us all. Just lend a hand to build our community building. N. L., Reporter gentleman has just entered the room and I have sensed the desire of the company to hear him. He is not required to say a word in his own behalf in this company, but according to your wish you will hear a word from Mr. Morris." Mr. Morris responded in a few well chosen words. The toastmaster here stated that Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts would introduce the guest of the occasion, and in about two minutes, Mr. Roberts made a very brilliant address. Judge David told of his early experiences and charmed the company by stating some things not known to the company, about and among the institutions that were a part of Chicago life in his early days. The judge's address was not political but charmingly personal and all hands enjoyed it to the utmost. Mr. H. A. Watkins, Col. John R. Marshall, Mr. Morris Lewis, Mr. Julius F.

Dearborn St. Chicago Clarence S. Darrow Telephone Peter Sissman Central 925 William H. Holly William L. Carlin Victor S. Yarros Oct. 24, 1923. Julius F. Taylor, Editor, The Broad Ax, I desire to protest against the unfair treatment received by Edward H. Morris at the hands of the Chicago Bar Association and its committee. It is unfortunate that such a direct insult should be offered to the colored people of Chicago. It does no good to the feeling that already exists due to very narrow views of many people. The committee's report on the candidates for judges stated that Edward H. Morris was a colored man. They might as well have given the nationality or race of every other candidate on the ticket, and the ticket is made up of various nationalities. They stated that he was a man who had a large practice, mainly in criminal cases. I know of no reason why a lawyer engaged in the defense of those charged with crime should not be a good judge, but, as a matter of fact, Mr. Morris' practice has been mainly civil for many years, which fact must have been known to the committee and certainly should have been known had they wished to make a point of the question of his line of practice. We have had many judges who came directly from the State's Attorney's office and whose sole experience had [Name] M. HON. FRANK H. GRAHAM Democratic Candidate for Judge of the Super Cook County.

It Is Useless Since Proven His Friendship for they Will Remember Him With November 6. been in the criminal courts, and this is the first time I have ever known this matter to be referred to in a report of the committee. The report also says that he would not be a fit man for the bench. Every man familiar with Mr. Morris' attainments and practice of the law in the City of Chicago knows perfectly well that in legal ability, disposition and everything else that goes to make a judge, he is the peer of any man on either ticket. This must have been known both to the committee and the members of the bar who voted at the bar primary. The statement of the committee that he would not make a fit judge must have been prompted solely by his color. The small vote he received at the bar primary was due solely to his color. I guarantee that if any one doubts this and will ask the lawyers whom they meet in Chicago indiscriminately, 90 per cent of them will say of Mr. Morris what I have said. I say it not only from his general reputation as a lawyer, but from a long personal acquaintance, friendship and experience with him in court. Aside from his ability as a lawyer, he was for many years a member of legislature. During one session, I was a member with him and I can say emphatically that there was no abler man in the legislature than Mr. Morris. I know of no man on either ticket who is better qualified or whom I believe that would make a better judge, and I trust that the colored voters of this City will give him such a vote as emphatically to show their disapproval of the report of the committee and the action of the bar. Very truly yours, Clarence S. Darrow. 47:8,700 N E G R O E S MOVED NORTH IN 12 MONTHS Washington.—About 478,700 Negro laborers migrated from the South during the year ending August 31, the Department of Labor has announced, Georgia led with 120,000, while Oklahoma reported 1,000, the smallest; Alabama lost 90,000; Arkansas, 5,000; Florida, 90,000; Kentucky, 2,500; Louisiana, 15,000; Mississippi, 86,600; North Carolina, 25,000; South Carolina, 25,000; Tennessee, 10,000; Texas 2,000; and Virginia, 100,000. 1930 ledge of the Superior Court of the Former Honorable Judges Chicago, He Dealt Out Evenred People and He Highly Dees at the Judicial Election Tues- Col. Willis E. Mollison "TLL ENFORCE DRY LAW! SAYS COOLIDGE By Elam H. Johnson, Atty., 3429 Indiana Ave., Chicago, Ill. The above headline appeared in the Herald-Examiner recently. This, of course, refers to the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, known as the Volstead Act. In the same issue we are told that the president secured the aid of a majority of the thirty-six governors summoned to Washington to confer on ways and means of enforcing this Act, and that the president proposed six points for prohibition enforcement. These provided for: Co-ordination of all federal, state, county and municipal enforcement forces. Issuance by the governors of calls on the press to support proh'bition law enforcement, stress law observance and treat the enforcement program commensurately with the gravity of lawlessness. Summoning by the governors of conventions of municipal, county and state enforcement officials at a convenient date to discuss and adopt a program for the states, the federal government -pledging every possible support to these conventions. Calls by the governors upon the prosecuting attorneys in the various districts of the states to confer on the enforcement problem, with the federal government pledging every facility to aid in such discussions. Adoption by the governors and by the federal government of whatever means are practicable to cause lawless citizens and aliens to respect the majesty and sanctity of the law and to respect the various agencies enforcing it. Co-operation by national authorities in all enforcement activities. Urge Educational Campaign. These were unanimously approved, as was also the seventh, proposed by the Governors. It proposed promotion by the states of educational endeavors in favor of the cause of temperance. We commend the work of this conference, and if its plans are carried out, they will succeed to a marked degree; but there are three other Amendments to our constitution, to-wit: the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. What about their enforcement? When will the president summon the governors of those states where these amendments are flagrantly violated, and not enforced, and map out some definite plan of enforcement? The 13th Amendment abolishes slavery in the States. The 14th Amendment declares who shall be citizens of the United States (all persons born or naturalized therein and subject to its jurisdiction); and secures the rights of such citizens from deprivation by act of the States; also provides for the apportionment of representation in Congress, etc. The 15th Amendment secures the right of suffrage to the Negroes by providing that the right to vote shall not be denied because of color, race or previous condition of servitude. These amendments are daily being openly violated by the Southern States, and this is known to the president, and governors of all the states, and notwithstanding the fact, that these violations are known to the powers that be, yet not a word can be heard to give these 100 per cent Americans one ray of hope; no conference has been called to adopt plans to put an end to this fnearious practice; but thousands of dollars are being spent to enforce the 18th Amendment. Thus causing the citizens to lose confidence These provided for; Bar Association, Who Eloquetnly ered to Hon. Joseph B. David y Evening in the administration of the laws, and the enforcement of the provisions of the Federal Constitution, especially where Colored Americans are concerned. If the 18th Amendment must be en- forced, for God's sake, and for the sake of justice and fair play, let the above mentioned Amendments be en- forced also. VISITING IN VIRGINIA Mrs. Eliza Jackson, widely known in this city and state in fraternal organizations, serving as state grand queen of A. U.

BUYS OLD JEWISH TEMPLE The Progressive Community Center of the People's church, a nonsectarian Negro organization, has bought the church building at 56 East 48th street from the Congregation Rodfel Zedik for $24,500.

Farmer, 4751 Champlain ave., who was ill and confined to her home several days during the past week; is much improved and able to be out again. IMPROVING THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 COL. CHARLESE. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS STARTED ON HIS WAY EAST AND HE IS AT PRESENT RESTING UP IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. El Paso, Texas.—Not well, but improved sufficiently to get this far on my journey to the East, and I had to stop here and go to bed, and will rest this week in San Antonio, Texas. I have been near the crossing over place, and will have to be very careful to keep the people from having a big funeral. They do not like to have too many of them in a year, and from everywhere comes the word, "We are praying for you," and the Lord must have answered prayers, for I am out of the hospital. But before saying more, let me here say that I have been right at the door, so to speak, and have had all kinds of examinations, and I am told by reliable people that Dr. Hewlett is considered one of the greatest specialists in America on the disease of the heart. He said I had "Myocarditis," and that is a big name for me to have, but after all the various kinds of examinations, he came right down to it and his treatment gave me the very same kind of medicine that Dr. George Cleveland Hall was giving me, nothing more, nothing less. I just broke down here in this place or in San Francisco, and had to go to bed, that was all. We must all take off our hats to Dr. George Cleveland Hall, and I want him to know this before I cross over Jordan. He is a great physician as well as surgeon. I am proud of this. Lane hospital is said to be one of the best in the world, and they have all strong and eminent physicians and surgeons on their staff. I was in the hospital when I wrote you that last letter. I was there over a month, and now I am happy to get out one more time. I came from there to Los Angeles, and Dr. S. T. Turner was delighted to see me, and she got her pretty green automobile car carriage and toted me over to Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Cooper's home on Washington street, and told me that she would be delighted to render any service possible while in the city. She was interested in me and my case, and did not fail to let me know. Dr. Turner is one more physician, and she has made her way to the top in the profession out in California. Hence you see I was right under another physician. I spent the day in the house, for I could not afford to get around much in my condition. In the evening an automobile car carriage came for me, and it was called a taxi, and tooted me over to the First African Methodist Episcopal church, and did not collect one cent for it. I do not know just who paid the bill, for it was none of my business. I was very glad to get over there, for I had the pleasure of witnessing the Poro College graduating exercises, and to see Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone. These people are doing wonders, and they are spending their days in trying to do something for the whole race. They have spent the summer in California, and believe me, the people would like to have them live out there all the time because of the good they are doing. But they are going back to Missouri, of course, and there continue to do something for humanity. Just a few days ago they gave an outing to all the Poro representatives, patrons and friends, giving out one thousand tickets, and all were used. I mean tickets on the train, and they did not have to tote baskets, for Mrs. Malone provided them with chicken, sandwiches, salad, punch, ice cream and cake, soda pop, fruit—in fact, she just fed them until they wanted no more. The people out west had never known anything like that before in all their days, and they are still singing the praises of Prof. Aaron E. Malone and Mrs. Annie M. Malone. Then followed this exercise I was telling you about, the graduating of a class of 11 women—and I did not need to say women, for they are the only people taking the Poro college course. Men are not in that business, but after a while some man is going to take it up and open a parlor and do well, as man is known to do. I was glad to be there and to see these things take place. In the class were Mesdames C. K. Randall, Lula Collins, Mary Gale, Hattie Chamberlain, Mamie Black, Cornelia Marine, Sarah J. Aryed, J. L. Freeman, Lizzy Washington, Verda May Reed and Ida Shelby, all of Los Angeles, and all well-trained women, courteous and polite, and possess the qualities of making friends and rendering service to those who make their visit to the place. Poro now has the West Coast, and the women are praising God for the life of Annie M. Malone, A. M., the benefactor. No one needs to wear horse tail on her head now for hair, for she is able to cultivate that which God has placed thereon, and make it equal any. If you notice it is a rare thing to see a wig these days, and it is because God gave to us Annie Malone, and she did not spend her time in idle complaining, but used the talent which God had given her, studied chemistry, and now she is able to help thousands of women. God give us more. I am sure you know Noah D. Thompson, the newspaper man of Los Angeles, who held a prominent position with an express company in Chicago, and then went to Tuskegee Institute, and is now working on one of the daily papers out here? Well, he was the master of ceremonies, and he made a short, telling address at the opening. He considered it a great honor, the second great honor that had come to him, one was to be associated with the great educator, Booker T. Washington, and the other was to be associated with the business genius of the race, the commercial agents, the benefactors of humanity, Prof. and Mrs. Malone. He told of the worth of these two people and how their lives had inspired many. Noah knows a thing or two and he expressed some of it in his address. I will not be able to tell you all about the exercises, but to say that the first address was made by Prof. Aaron E. Malone, A. M., president of the college, who dwelt on truth and upright life. He is a Christian man, and spoke in high terms of the Christian religion, and he owed all to God. He was simply an instrument in God's hands, and his whole aim was to do the will of the master. It was indeed a beautiful address. Not for diction, not for eloquence, but for common sense. I was real proud of his address. The graduates had something to say, and there were solos and music by the choir of the First A. M. E. church. Rev. Ward made remarks, and then the diplomas were presented by Mrs. Annie M. Malone, the founder of the college, and with each diploma a bouquet was presented. She said that Poro stood for the best, and urged those who received diplomas not to count the dollars, but to count results. Efficient service, service that satisfied the patrons and there need be no worry about dollars, for they would take care of themselves. She told them never to allow any one to leave them dissatisfied. Her address was practical and strictly to the point. She pointed out the royal road to success. It was a great address, delivered on a great occasion. I shall have to go back and tell you more about my visit to Los Angeles another time. Just after the exercises were over Mr. and Mrs. Homer Dean were there with their automobile carriage to tote me over to their home. They live in Santa Monica, Calif., about 20 miles away. It is on the ocean front and thought that the air would do me much good. So I went with them, spent the night and the next morning bright and early they were up, permitting me to remain in bed until breakfast was ready. When breakfast was over, he hitched up his gasoline horse to that Stevens automobile car carriage to tote me around. Over to Rev. and Mrs. D. C. Carter of the C. M. E. church we went, and they joined the party, and then we were off to take in the California air and at the same time see some of the sights. They went to Venice, Ocean Port, Sherman, Hollywood, where they make all them moving pictures out this way, or that way, Pasadena, Monrovia and then back to Los Angeles, where a few minutes later I was on the bed car on the Southern Pacific road, headed for Tucson, Arizona, and then on to this place. I fear that I shall not have time to tell you about Tucson at this writing, but it is a great place, and they have some great people there. Prof. C. C. Simmons, from Tuskegee Institute is at the head of the school there, and he is doing good work. I will not say more about it now. I have stopped over here for a few hours, but will soon be on my way to San Antonio, where I am to spend the week in the home of Rev. S. J. Johnson, and most of the time in bed, for I must do a lot of that these days. I am sure you will remember Rev. S. J. Johnson, for he is the man who is to be secretary of the Church Extension of the A. M. E. church next May. I will tell you more about it. Charles E. Stupp MR. ARTHUR ELROD IS AN APT LAW STUDENT Among the many law students at the De Paul University, none of them are farther advanced in studying the various branches of the law, than Mr. Arthur Elrod, who is the up-to-date law clerk in the law offices of Alderman Joseph O.

Church, 62nd and Ada streets, left the city Monday, October 22, to attend the Annual Conference of the Colored Methodist Church. Rev. Bryson has worked hard and faithfully to build up this church, and has achieved great success during his eight years as pastor. When he came to this church a small congregation, of about twenty-five members, was worshiping in a store front. Through his efforts the present site was purchased and the new church erected at a cost of $45,000. Under his direction and leadership the congregation of Mt. Carmel has raised $10,000 this year, together with adding 200 new members to the church. The people are eager for his return.

Oscar Wolff Republican Candidate for Coroner of Cook County Election Tuesday, November 6 Both Men and Women Can Vote for Him DUNBAR'S NON-DIALECT POEMS (The Christian Science Monitor.) In all of his dialect poems Dunbar but wrought with the glamorous imaginations and emotions of his people, and to one who knows anything of that people it becomes difficult to separate the intrinsic charm of the poems from their purely racial appeal. Of course, that is their surest compliment, but in his non-dialect poems the poet challenges criticism alone and unaided. It is surprising (but why surprising?) to find how beautiful some of these poems are. Not all of them. Many of them but too clearly echo—both in cadence and inspiration—one after another of the "great society." Here one senses the influence of Shelley; there, of Swinburne or Wordsworth. But what does this say but that the artist was a "young" artist and not yet entered into his estate? Very youthful, too, in his submission to the influence of didactic allegory. The original and purely conceived poems remain. Their execution is very deft, their metrical quality warm and faultness, their thought mournfully, delicately patterned, like petaled shadows thrown upon a shoji screen by moonlight. An old, impassioned sadness flows through them. Nor are they without bitterness, but it is a bitterness that has been worn smooth by fate. The love poems are humble, chastened, sincere. They have limpidity and fragrance. As is ever true of the love lyric, they take their beauty not from innovation of thought, but from the realm of emotion. They possess, too, that deceptive simplicity that stands the wear of repeated reading. Very tenous and lovely is one of these, beginning: "Dream on, for dreams are sweet, Do not awaken! Dream on, and at thy feet Pomegranates shall be shaken." A finer imaginative quality and deeper emotion are revealed in an other poem, into which is woven the added flavor of time: "Toni Morrison" "Tonight we sit where sweet spice winds blow, A wind the northland lacks and ne'er shall know, With clasped hands and spirits all aglow, As in Arabia in the long ago." "The robin sounds a beggar's note," is quaint and felicitous, as it descends from the difficult uplands of abstract emotion. This little poem, called Chas. Krutckoff, Pres. J. E.

"The robin sounds a beggar's note Where one the nightingale has heard, But he from whom no silver throat Its liquid music ever stirred, Deems robin still the sweetest bird.' SHORT CUTS (Lincoln Service) Growth of school enrollment in Chicago, to which southern migration contributed, has caused 50,000 pupils to attend school on half-day shifts. Presenting the singularly specious argument that Chicago cannot afford to rob the South, which is its best mercantile customer, of its labor, the Chicago Journal of Commerce declares that it is opposed to migration of southern Negroes to that city. Madame Pauline Dempsey, no less famous as an actress and a singer than as a political and social worker, died from injuries received while rehearsing a movie play, in which Francis X. Bushman is star, at the Bennet Film Studios, New York City. Commemorating the heroism of Lieut. Henry H. Boger, a tablet has been placed in the stadium of the University of Illinois, with fitting ceremonies. Boger was an aluminus of that institution, a teacher at Tuskegee, and was killed in France on the day the Armistice was signed. Baltimore scientists claim to have discovered that flappers of the brunette type are knock-kneed, while those of the red-headed variety are bow-legged. Variegated types among the colored ingenues, drifting from blond to bronze, dispute the findings of the scientists as inconclusive and illegal. In the campaign against hoochvenders in New York, The Age, of that city, says reports are current that "hooch places have succeeded by various means among certain ministers" in creating a feeling of passive forbearance, which prevents active opposition to their bootlegging operations. Reports from Cleveland, Ohio, say that city is a splendid field for a saving and loan company properly conducted by our people. There are more than 40,000 Negroes there and all are working. Many have bought homes and others are buying them. The demand for homes is greater than in almost any other northern city, with the possible exception of Detroit, Mich. --- YARDS AT CHICAGO CHICAGO Hugh Norris, Treas.
