EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Former President Woodrow Wilson, Who Was One of the World's Most Noted and Greatest Characters, Laid Down the Burdens of Life Last Sunday Morning at His Home, Washington, D. C., After a Long Spell of Illness. HE WAS THE TWENTY-EIGHTH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE UNITED STATES. HE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED THIS MIGHTY NATION THROUGH THE GREATEST OF ALL, THE GREAT WORLD WARS. SOME OF HIS GOVERNMENTAL IDEAS OR POLICIES HAVE BEEN FIRMLY STAMPED UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. HE WAS FULL OF SELF-DETERMINATION AND POSSESSED EXTRAORDINARY STRONG WILL POWER IN THE MIDST OF THE GREAT WAR, HE LEFT HIS COUNTRY AND MADE TWO TRIPS TO THE OLD WORLD WHICH WAS UNPRECEDENTED, BUT THAT DID NOT ENABLE HIM TO FORCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO EMBRACE THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WHICH WAS NEAR AND DEAR TO HIS HEART.

Early last Sunday morning Ex-President Woodrow Wilson, who had a most remarkable career here on this earth arrived at the end of the road in this world at his home at Washington, D. C., after a long spell of illness, the direct or the indirect cause of his death was, according to his eminent doctors, a general or complete breakdown of his tremendous nervous system, that was plainly indicated when, in 1919, during his western speaking tour or swing around the circle he was forced to retrace his footsteps back to Washington, D. C. From several points in Colorado and Missouri, without being able to deliver his wonderful orations in favor of the League of Nations, which was at all times near and very dear to his heart, but he was unable to live long enough to see a majority of his fellow countrymen to take kindly to it. It is far from our intention to review at great length the remarkable rise of President Wilson from a poor boy at Staunton, Va., where his father held forth as a Presbyterian minister and his mother was the daughter of a preacher of the same faith, until he 5 CENTS PER COPY Preside World's best known the His Home of Illness.

Some young men or bbpys who have almost lost hope of ever amounting to anything in this great big old world may pick up new hope and courage by carefully reading the following short review of the remarkable rise of Woodrow Wilson in American and European politics. Ex-President Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eighth president of the United States was born December 28, 1856, at Staunton, Va. His parents were Scotch and Irish and hailed from Ulster in the first part of the nineteenth century. Mr. Wilson entered Princeton as a student in 1875 and was known as "Tom" until his graduation in 1879, when he dropped his front name and was thereafter known only as Woodrow Wilson. In his campus days he appeared as a young man of maturity of character, blended with great zest for the things pertaining to college life. He became managing editor of the Princetonian, and, although without particular ability in athletics he was THE LATE EX-PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON He successfully piloted this great Nation through the greatest and the bloodiest war that has ever confronted the human race. a leader in the stimulation of sports, and in '78 was president of the athletic committee. He sang in the chapel choir and uplifted his tenor in the glee club. Would Not Urge Protection He became one of the star debaters, but when the day for competing for the big prize of the Lynde debate to which he had looked forward dawned, he put his hand into the hat and drew out a slip which required him to uphold the side of protection in "Free Trade vs. Protection." He tore up the slip and said he was a convinced free trader and that nothing would induce him to advance arguments in which he did not believe. In May, 1882, he hung out his lawyer's shingle in Atlanta, Ga. He went into partnership with Edward Ireland Renick, but clients never came and Mr. Wilson went north for post-graduate work at John Hopkins at Baltimore. On the heels of this came invitations to college chairs, and Mr. Wilson accepted one from Bryn Mawr. He was married to Ellen Louise Axson in June, 1885. The year 1890 saw Mr. Wilson back at Princeton, this time as professor of jurisprudence. Twelve years later he became president of the university, and his fight started for the "democratization" of the university, in which student cliques were abolished and the sons of rich and poor men were encouraged to fraternize. He began to broaden out as a publicist; his speeches and writings on governmental subjects began to bring him into the public eye. The first mention of him in connection with THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 9, 1924 the presidency was by Col. George Harvice before the Lotus club, Feb. 3, 1906. In 1910 the college professor, who was said to be contemplating retirement on a teacher's pension, burst into active political life as New Jersey's governor. Elected Governor of New Jersey Elected Governor of New Jersey As governor Mr. Wilson was hailed as a new type in politics. The old style Democrat bosses had picked him as a man who could carry the state and had sent word that if he would allow his name to be presented he could feel assured of the nomination. Dr. Wilson replied if the people wished him to run he would. The bosses, among them the big one, James Smith, Jr., smiled into their sleeves—it sounded like regulation stuff. The state convention brewed a hot fight, this through a suspicion that the bosses were gearing up the steam roller in Wilson's behalf. But despite charges that he was a candidate of "the interests," Wilson won. During the campaign Mr. Wilson boldly said that the Democratic bosses were out and would stay out if he had anything to say about it. Smith and his pals looked on this as the usual campaign buncombe. "Licking of the Gang" The awakening came after the election. A Democratic legislature had been elected and Smith announced he would run for the United States senate. Dr. Wilson at once said he would fight him. What happened was described by one of Wilson's friends: "This long haired bookworm of a professor who had just laid his spec- tacles on his dictionary came down to the Trenton statehouse and licked the gang to a frazzle. Having "walloped the gang" and made himself state leader of his party, Mr. Wilson proceeded to put through his pet measures. They became known as the "Seven Sisters," a deft allusion to the charge which the bosses were raising that Wilson was a radical, or in political parlance, a "long hair." Among them were direct primaries, a corrupt practices act, a public utilities law, cold storage regulation, and an employers' liability law. New Jersey had been a rendezvous for monopolistic corporations, and the new laws forbade the incorporation of predatory trusts within the state. By the time the national conventions of 1912 were approaching Mr. Wilson was being regarded as a promising, high-minded, and astute Democrat of the new school. Mr. Wilson's nomination to the presidency by the national Democratic convention in 1912 at Baltimore, after a prolonged deadlock, was a dramatic episode. The Republicans had split, and the Bull Moose had formed the third party. With the opposition divided, it looked clearly a Democratic year, a cinch in particular if the Democrats put up a progressive candidate. The blowup in the Republican convention in the Chicago Coliseum had hardly died away before the astute on both sides were picking Wilson as the probable Democratic standard bearer, despite the fact that he lacked the votes at first. majority of the votes up his sleeve. The two-thirds rule is a Democratic principle. Clark registered his majority, but failed to roll up the necessary two-thirds. It was the first time a majority candidate failed ultimately to connect. Gains Help of Bryan William Jennings Bryan, who thrice ran for President, wielded power. He called upon all candidates to decline the support of "Wall Street" delegates, the Tammany bunch. Mr. Wilson was emphatic in his refusal to accept such votes, and Bryan and his followers swung their support to him, despite the fact that Mr. Wilson a few months before had written a friend expressing the fervent hope that Bryan might be "knocked into a cocked hat." The convention ran into its second week with the delegates deadlocked. Insiders surmised that Bryan was not shedding tears, but entertained some measure of hope that the tieup might eventually shake the plum into his own lap for the fourth time. Finally a Wilson stampede, started by Roger Sullivan of Illinois on the forty-third roll call, reached its climax on the forty-sixth ballot, when Mr. Wilson was nominated with 990 votes, Clark getting 84. Elected in Landslide That November Mr. Wilson was elected President in a landslide—he even carried Illinois, the banner G. O. P. state—the first Democrat chosen in sixteen years, the first since Cleveland. President Wilson was nominated for a second term by acclamation in the Democratic convention at St. Louis. Charles Evans Hughes had been named by the Republicans. The November election returned Wilson by 277 electoral votes, as against 254 for Hughes. His Trips Abroad Were Unprece dented While the World War for democracy had not fully settled down on December 4, 1918; President Wilson almost without the slightest notice to the American people pulled out on his first trip to the old world in order to be on hand at the various peace conferences and sat around the table with the great rulers of the old world, and while abroad at both times President and Mrs. Wilson were wined and dined by the crowned heads of those countries while none of the real big public officials were at home to conduct the important affairs of this country. The American people were never in the history of the country confronted with such a grave or serious condition before and many of them were loud in severely condemning President Wilson for leaving his own country and rushing headlong into the position of forming entangling alliances and embroilments with foreign rulers. At that time and unto the day of his death President Wilson was unable to completely forgive the American people for turning against him pertaining to his hobby in connection with his views in reference to establishing a League of Nations and a World Court. When he came down to the point where he was forced to meet death face to face he peacefully closed his eyes in death like a true soldier and the people in all parts of the universe mourned his passing on west never to return this way again. As indicated in the heading of this story that the remains of Mr. Wilson were buried on Wednesday afternoon with full military honors. Aside from George Washington, the Father of His Country, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson will easily rank with the other great statesmen of America. THE BIRTH OF A NATION CON- TINUES TO RUN AT FULL BLAST Last Sunday evening the Birth of a Nation opened up for business at the Auditorium, and the City of Chicago, through Hon. William E. Dever, Hon. Morgan A. Collins, Chief of Police, and Hon. Francis X. Busch, the able and brilliant Corporation Counsel of Chicago are unable to stop it, for it appears that in 1915 the owners of the Birth of a Nation secured an injunction against the City of Chicago forever, seemingly, of preventing it from interfering with the exhibition of the moving picture The Birth of a Nation. On last Monday and Tuesday, Judge Denis E. Sullivan of the Superior Court listened all day long to legal arguments against and for dissolving the injunction and absolve Chief Collins from contempt of court for attempting to prevent the Birth of a Nation from spewing out its race prejudice in this city but for some cause or other Judge Sullivan shyed far away from the main show and so far he has refused to grant the city any relief in that direction and in the meantime the Birth of a Nation in spite of the laws of the State of Illinois against permitting such rotten moving pictures as the Birth of a Nation from being exhibited within its borders it is still running at full blast. On Monday morning Judge Sullivan will again sit in judgment on exceptions to answers filed by the respondents. The court absolutely refused to hear evidence on whether or not the picture violated the statutes of Illinois The situation remains the same. The court refused to either suggest that the picture be stopped or allowed to run. That question is up to Mayor Dever, Chief Collins and corporation counsel Hon. Francis X. Busch. Hon. Francis X. Busch was ably assisted by Mr. Jay A. Schiller and Mr. Albert H. Veeder, assistant corporation counsels and they waged a strong legal fight against the Birth of a Nation and in behalf of all of the citizens of Chicago. HELL IN THE MAKING The newly appointed pastor of a Nero church faced a packed audience when he arose to deliver his sermon on this burning question: "Is There a Hell?" "Bredern," he said, "de Lord made the world round like a ball." "Amen!" agreed the congregation. "And de Lord made two axles for de world to go around on, and He put one axle at the north pole and one axle at the souf pole." "Amen!" cried the congregation. "And then a lot of sinners dig wells in Pennsylvania and steal de Lord's oil and grease. And they dig wells in Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas and Mexico and Russia, and steal the Lord's oil and grease. "And some day de will have all of de Lord's oil and grease, and dem axles is gonna git hot. And den, dan will be hell, bredern, dat will be hell. —Philadelphia Public Ledger.

BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULL MAN SMOKER "Hearsay" (Lincoln News Service) We were drifting along at about twenty-five miles an hour, much to the disgust of a little gent of about five feet four, who was taking rapid "pulls" at a Pittsburgh stogie. He didn't see why the engineer didn't "step on it." He never would make it in time to put his story across in the next day's evening news. This was a special assignment, which he had induced his boss to give him, and although he had the "dope" all together, he wanted to "scoop" a story that would get him a raise, and if it didn't come out by the next day some one would beat him to it. He knew that colored people didn't like zero weather, and that they were bound to go back to the Sunny South at the first sign of snow. They were better off down there among their "best friends," anyhow. Hadn't he visited an Ohio factory last week and been told that twenty colored iron workers had departed for Birmingham? Just then an elderly man, who had been peacefully communing with a large French briar, folded up his paper and asked: "Did they quit or were they fired?" "They quit cold," retorted the ambitious reporter. "Couldn't stand the cold winds of the lake. At least, that's what the employment manager told me." "And they've gone to Birmingham?" asked the old gent, in a thoughtful manner. "That's what I was told," answered the reporter. "That's why I'm hurrying East now," he continued. "There's a hundred of 'em scheduled to leave Baltimore soon, and, hang it all, we're two hours late right now; and I'm afraid they'll be gone before I get there," he added impatiently, as he exhibited a telegram, which read: "Heavy movement of colored labor at Baltimore. Good story. Come at once." "Hm!" ventured the old gent. "Who's that from?" "Oh, that's from my college chum. He's with a big firm in Baltimore." "But that doesn't say whether they're coming or going, does it?" the old gent persisted. "Ha! Ha!" laughed the reporter. "That's a foolish question. Didn't you see where a hundred or more passed through Memphis last week," he added with a wink. "I wrote a part of that story myself. Some newspaper 'buddies' down South tipped me off, to the dope." "Well," responded the old gent, "at best, that's kind of a hearsay story, isn't it? When I was a youngster practicing law, we used to steer off from the hearsay stuff," concluded the elderly philosopher in a serious manner. "Well, you can bank that this is okay," emphasized the reporter. The sound of a soft, musical tenor voice was heard just outside the smoker. The tonal climax seemed to be reached in "Heav'n, Heav'n," and was easily traceable to the happy porter, who entered, grinning all over, so to speak. "You're mighty happy tonight, George; you must have received an extra good tip," the reporter almost shouted to the porter. "Yes, sir, I did," responded the porter. "How much was it?" inquired the reporter. "Oh, it wasn't money." True, just "Oh, sir, 'twasn't money. 'Twas just MRS. WOODROW WILSON some good information," replied the porter, quietly, as he began to whistle. "Races, eh? You'd better let 'em alone. They're mostly hearsay, and bad stuff at that," explained the reporter with a friendly wink. "Oh, no, it wasn't that," said the porter, full of smile. "The old man, and Jim and Henry are all coming up from the South to good jobs at Baltimore. They'll be reaching there tomorrow, and I'll get there in time to see 'em for the first time in three years," the porter continued, as he pulled a handsome letterhead from his inside pocket. G. O. P. CHAIRMAN IMPRESSED BY WEST (Lincoln News Service) Washington.—Chairman John T. Adams of the Republican National Committee, has returned to town from a visit through the middle west. He said he had found industrial conditions very favorable in the regions he visited, with visible signs of a general picking up of business. "One thing which impressed me," said Chairman Adams, "was the friendly "But that's my college chum's firm," gasped the newspaper man in astonishment, "and he just wired me that there's a heavy movement of colored labor at Baltimore." "That's just what this letter says," replied the porter. "They've got openings for 40 or 50 men, and the old man and my brothers were among the first ones they hired." "But colored labor's moving back south," sputtered the newspaper man gloomily. "No, sir, it's still moving North; at least, that's what I hear from down home," countered the porter, as he again took up the tuneful strain of "Heav'n, Heav'n," while the newspaper expert hurried off to bed. THE WICKEDEST NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD IS STILL AT ITS OLD TRICKS The story appearing in last week's Chicago Defender under the "red-headed" caption, "Attacked Sick Patients," was greatly exaggerated. The story would have the public believe that the People's Hospital is run on the "butcher shop" order and that the board of managers were a bunch of crooks, and that our physicians were incompetent, and the nurses were heartless murderers, using the hospital to ply their trade. The story was a "one-sided" affair calculated to create distrust and fear in the hearts of those who in the future might seek succor at the hand of an institution of this kind operated by the colored people of this city. There is no doubt but that the story tickled the fancy of a few who would see the whole race suffer to gratify their selfish ambition, but the question is, "Does it pay?" The People's Hospital is very much needed in this city. And while it has existed under some handicaps, yet it has rendered most valuable service to hundreds. Yes, there are hundreds of people in St. Louis today who stand ready and willing to testify to the unstinted service they have received from that institution. An unwarranted attack on some of the best citizens of our city and certainly our own hospital which has served us so well, cannot go by unchallenged. The management of the hospital and the Medical Forum should resent the false impression created by the story in the Defender by taking such actions as are necessary to correct the evil—From The Argus, St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 2, 1924.

He said he had found industrial conditions very favorable in the regions he visited, with visible signs of a general picking up of business. "One thing which impressed me," said Chairman Adams, "was the friendly attitude of the people toward the administration and the Republican regime. I heard many expressions of friendliness from Democrats as well as Republicans, for the administration. "Business is improving; the farmers are coming back, and conditions are looking up all along the line. As to political conditions for the Republican party, I am more than pleased at the prospect. I was exceedingly gratified over the industrial outlook, for that spells welfare for the whole country." HON. JOHN J. HAYES STILL STANDS BY THE BROAD AX Hon. John J. Hayes, member of the firm of J.

CHIPS TO BUILDER OF HAMPTON, HOLLIS BURKE FRISSELL, TRIBUTE IS PAID. JOSEPH DUPUY EGGLESTON, DISTINGUISHED VIRGINIA EDUCATOR, DELIVERS FOUNDER'S DAY ADDRESS AND APPRAISES HOLLIS B. FRISSELL'S SERVICE TO VIRGINIA, THE SOUTH, AND THE NATION. By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va.—Joseph Dupuy Eggleston, president of Hampden-Sidney College and former State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Virginia, delivered the Founder's Day address at Hampton Institute, which was founded in 1868 by Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong. President Eggleston, who was closely identified with Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute from 1893 until his death in 1917, in extending educational facilities to white and colored men and women, boys and girls throughout Virginia, was introduced by Principal James E. Gregg as a teacher, writer, speaker and leader who had "quickened the minds, inspired the souls, and roused the energies of his fellow-citizens to richer and nobler living." Doctor Gregg declared that it had seemed fitting this year to remember Doctor Frissell, the builder of Hampton, "as a high-minded public servant, who had sought patiently, wisely and steadily to lift up the economic and educational life of Virginia." President Eggleston referred to Doctor Frissell as an example of preferment through self-effacement linked with thoroughness; as a man who brought together in helpful relation men and women of different ideas; as an organizer of great wisdom and patience; as an unobtrusive missionary to a backward race; as a man who was not afraid to show his face with his principles; as a believer in culture that is not afraid of the soil and the shop; as an exponent of racial good will and co-operation. He said: Served Entire South "As one born and reared in the South, I wish to say that what Hollis Burke Frissell did for the spiritual, educational and economic advancement of the white children of the South cannot be measured. Had he been a mere crusader for the advancement of either race to the neglect of the other, he would not have been himself. The man who stands for the advancement of one race or group in this country to the neglect of any other race or group does not rise to the full heights of American citizenship. "Were Doctor Frissell living today he would have no sympathy with any so-called Americanism that tends to breathe hatreds or misunderstandings Doctor Frissell did not dread the sunlight; he had no occasion to work in the dark. There was no mystery of a white sheet or mask or hood about what he stood for. Believed in Conference "Doctor Frissell believed profoundly that no individual or group is strong S. HON. MORGAN A. COLLINS and efficient Chief of Police of Chicago permitting the "Birth of a Nation poison or race prejudice at the Aud on to race riots and bloodshed betwee ed races in Chicago. enou_n to do the wrong thing, at any time and under any circumstances, without sooner or later having to make a settlement in full—and usually with a terrible rate of interest. "I am in complete accord with his belief that no problem is too difficult of solution when honest men with honest hearts and motives, and with clear minds, sit down together for a conference to settle the problem on a basis of equity. To doubt this is to doubt God. Doctor Frissell did not doubt God. How could he when each day he walked with Him? I have often thought that a man of his great wisdom and great love and great faith must have been a man of constant prayer; a man who sought the direction of every step he took, and the solution of every difficulty and problem he faced in the wisdom of God. "His strength lay in the fact that he took no position that was not grounded in ultimate principle, and there is no ultimate principle of right that will permit the neglect, much less the hatred, of one human being by another; that will be content with darkness where light may come; that will not desire to bring spiritual life where spiritual sleep or death prevails. Forward-Looking Program "Doctor Frissell knew that there is no race—white, black, yellow or red—that is all forward; no race that will always remain backward if given the opportunity to go forward, and given the proper guidance; no race, however forward, in which there are not some backward; no race, however backward, in which there are not some forward; and he had a great passion to give to each individual just the opportunity and just the wise guidance needed by that individual to become the full man that God wishes every man to be. "Doctor Frissell believed that the very cornerstone of our educational system should rest upon this principle: That if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well, and that whether it be work or play, whether it be plowing a row of corn or reading Greek, whether it be planting potatoes in the earth or preaching righteousness to human hearts, whether it be painting a picture or painting a house, whether it be digging a ditch or performing an operation in surgery—it is best done when he who does it has been trained to do it with efficiency, and with a passion to do it better than it has ever been done before. "Doctor Frissell believed that a 'culture' which is afraid of the soil and of the shop is not more than skin-deep. He had no patience with the idea that some work is degrading while other work is not. He believed that the only thing degrading about any work is the motive behind it, and the man- 172 HON.

He had a conscience for the responsibilities and duties of citizenship, and he could not approve any course of study, whether classical, industrial or what-not, that would encourage its recipients to go out into the world imbued with the idea of easy self-aggrandizement."

GROUND IS BROKEN FOR COLORED SCHOOL (Lincoln News Service) Baltimore.—Work will soon begin on the erection of a school for colored youth in St. Mary's County, Md., to be known as the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, ground for which was broken one day last week. The first sod was turned by Edward Colbert, colored, who made the first cash donation to the fund. Chairmen of the various colored committees representing counties in Maryland each removed a shovelful of earth and pledged funds. By Charles Stewart, Jr. Today our heads are bowed in reverential respect for Thomas Woodrow Wilson, Ex-President of the United States of America, who passed out of this life Sunday morning, February third. The bereaved family together with his many intimate friends have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire nation—men, women and children feel the added pain of remorse left when the hand of death touched this character and caused him to peacefully enter an endless sleep which knows no wake. When one stops and reviews the records of this noble statesman they find that he laid many a success stone which is worthy of mention and his name will go down in history so that our children and their children shall read of some of his many deeds in this life. Woodrow Wilson was the twenty-eighth president of the United States, being elected to this creditable executive office in 1912. When his term ended in 1916 the majority of the people of the country felt so well pleased with his administration that he was re-elected and served another term of four years which ended in 1921. During his administration, President Wilson faced some of the most important questions the country has known and he faced these issues bravely and acted with the greatest of judgment. He was seriously opposed to war with Germany but when he saw that there was no other way around it he issued the declaration of war between the United States and Germany. People greatly censured him for this step but once war was declared everyone did their duty to help win the battle. When war ended Mr. Wilson left the United States and went to Versailles, France to help lay the plans for a world peace and it was here that he became one of the staunch supporters of the League of Nations and he died believing that some day the League would prove to be a success. Mr. Wilson's early life is also of great interest. He was born December 28th, 1856, at Staunton, Virginia. He graduated from Princeton University in 1879, from the Law school of Virginia in 1881 and did post-graduate work at Hopkins University 1883 to 1885. After teaching history and Political Economy at Bryn Mawr College he was made President of Princeton University 1902 to 1910. On January 17, 1911 he was elected Governor of New Jersey and served in this office until March 1, 1913 when he resigned. The Democratic convention which convened in Baltimore, Md., in 1512 nominated him for Presidency of the United States. He was elected to this office November 4th, 1912 and was re-elected to this office 1916. On December 18th, 1915, Mr. Wilson married Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt at Washington. During the early part of the year 1921 he retired to private life and spent the remainder of his days in this life.

HATTIAN ATHLETES WILL COMPETE AT OLYMPIA Port-au-Prince, Haiti.—For the first time in her history Haiti will be represented in the Olympic games. A rifle team of five principals and two alternates, selected from the best shots of the native gendarmerie, will compete in the 400, 600 and 800-meter rifle match, the sum of $10,000, to finance the trip, having been raised by private subscription. In addition, subscriptions for the same amount are being raised to send two fencers and a small squad of track and field athletes to the Paris games. This decision on the part of Haiti is the logical outcome of the remarkable growth among the Haitians this year in soccer, tennis, rifle-shooting and bicycling. Haitians of the aristocracy, as well as the peasants, have had their banner year in athletics. Soccer has ousted cock-fighting as the favorite pastime. Tennis is a close second to soccer, with tennis courts being laid out in all parts of the island.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 9, 1924 COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE OLD TIME REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, CONTINUES TO ENJOY HIMSELF WHILE BASKING IN THE WARM SUNSHINE DOWN IN FLORIDA. February 14, the Colored people throughout the length and breadth of this broad land should fittingly observe the 107th birthday anniversary of Mr. Douglass, who was the head and the front of the Anti-Slavery Movement in this country and who accomplished more than any other human being to bring about the liberation of more than four million slaves from the house of bondage. Tallahassee, Florida.—Here I am in the land of flowers, the only state in the union that ever had a Cat for governor, and he is now before the people wanting to come back, and then here I am in a state where my people have made some progress, and if you look right close you will find me in the center of the universe, for I am at the A. & M. college, the institution from which so many of my people have graduated. I have been going some since I wrote you that other letter, because I think I was in Lafayette, Louisiana, and there I was among the men and women of thought, those who were making good in life. I was there with Dr. L. A. Butler, the man whose whole life is devoted to the uplift of his people, and he is spending both life and money to inspire and help others. He is an unselfish man and is living his life in keeping with his manhood. I met many others, the doctors, the lawyers, yes, the nurses, the young woman who is in charge of a drug store and who is just filling prescriptions as fast as the three doctors can write them; and she is just busy. But from there I made my way to Crowley, and spent a day with Mr. and Mrs. W. T. McClung, and they are my friends. They were delighted to have me stop over and talk with them, and I was glad of the job. I had the pleasure of visiting the school there and meeting the professors. At the head of the school is the Rev. Prof. Ross, and he is some teacher and preacher, but he has missed his calling when he tries to run an automobile car carriage. I rode with him and the whole time I was in there it was all I could do to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart. Both got together, and when your mouth and heart get together you may know things are going wrong. He is all right in the school room and in the pulpit but should stay away from the wheel until he learns how. I am told though that you must learn how to run them things by running them, but that fellow has too much gospel, and education in his head to get down to that. God deliver him from the wheel. Mr. McClung is a shipping clerk in a wholesale rice business. I don't know as you would call it that, but it is a place where they put rice in shape and they deal with it way up yonder. He is an important man in the business. I got much out of it and was sorry that I could not eat some of them rice dishes which Mrs. Blanche McClung can make, but I could not and I just looked at them and wished them well as they went into other eternities. Off for Southern University, where I spent a night and day with Prof. J. S. Clark, and from that you will see that I am the most going to schoollist man in the country, and I don't care what you think or say about it. I should have something in this thick head of mine by this time. I am not going to take up time to talk about Southerning at this time, but I must make a trip through New Orleans, then stop at Mobile, and I had the pleasure of going to the office of Miss Daisy E. Jackson, who is a public stenographer. I don't know just what that word is and I am not in possession of a dictionary, but I tell you I saw her writing with crooks and hooks, and straight lines and curve lines, and then she would go to one of them little boxes and print her letters on it. They tell me that she is one of the best in the city, and has for her clients men and women of both races, and is kept busy all the time. They find a beaten path to her door, because she is able to deliver the goods. She remains home with her mother, because her mother is old, and she feels that it is her duty to remain at home. She has had some flattering offers for good positions in other places. I will not say more, for I made it away from there, stopping a few minute to talk with the doctor, the author, the poet, the race man of Alabama, and one of the foremost men in the nation, Dr. H. Roger Williams. Read his poem and he read some others to me, and then Dr. U. J. Robinson, pastor of the Franklin Street Baptist church, toted me to the Louisville & Nashville depot stable where I got on the iron horse for this place, riding for a while with Grand Master Woods, of the Masons of Alabama. Reaching here at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, I found a bright young man, standing waiting for me to step off of the wagon. He met me with a smile, shaking my lily black hand, and telling me he represented President W. H. A. Howard, of the A. & M. college, and was there to tote me up to the school. Soon he had me and all my plunder in his automobile carriage, and I was escorted to my quarters in the President's home. We didn't wake them up, for the good wife had prepared the room and everything ready for me to go to bed, and I found that the bed could not come to me and I went to it. Now just a word about Mrs. Howard. She was at one time Miss Frances McLane, the daughter of a real preacher. She came into the world round and about Talladega, Ala., and right on the campus of Talladega college, and you may know that she got some real education, and about 12 years ago, this young man Howard had discovered where the Lord or some individual had said it was not good for man to be alone, and he sought and won her hand, and they M. C. KENNEDY have as the result one daughter, who is being educated. I know you have heard of Prof. W. H. A. Howard, and you have read about him, because he is direct successor to Prof. N. B. Young, as president of the A. & M. college here. He has worked his way up. He came into the world via Columbus, Ga, and attended the public schools of Montgomery, Ala., and then took special work in private school. He was one of the boys who had to work his way up in life and earn his education, and I am informed that he served as an apprentice in a factory in Montgomery, and from there he served for two years in the same city, Montgomery, as an apprentice in masonry. This gave him sufficient money to get in the Georgia State College in 1892 and finished the normal course there in 1898, and got his Bachelor's degree in 1901. Now what else? Well, he went to Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But I must not fail to tell you that while in college he taught in the industrial department, and built up a splendid painting division, and he was the man who organized the cadets of the school, becoming cadet battalion, of the school, and he was made the "Major" by the faculty. He received his Master's degree in 1907, and upon his graduation heard the call from the A. & M. college here, and answered it. He was commander of the Cadets here, taught history, was professor of Mathematics and director of mechanic arts department. All these years he has filled the position, and was a loyal supporter of President Young. I have been here a number of times, and have found him holding up the arms of the president. He would always seek to know the wishes of the president, and then carry them out to the letter. So that when President Young resigned to take the place at the head of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., Dr. Howard was selected by the Board his successor. I am proud of him, because he has won his place in the state, and is one of the finest men I know of in the school room. He was the best man to succeed Dr. Young. He has served as president of the Florida State Teachers' Association and filled other positions in that organization, and at present is the treasurer of the National Teachers' Association. He stands high in the educational world, and is doing much to bring out his school. He is putting the school on the map, and will do well. They have sent a fine exhibit to the Tampa Fair, and the daily paper of Tallahassee has the following to say about it: "The students of the A. & M. college for Negroes did honor to themselves when they sent to the fair at Tampa work representing a number of phases of their activities at the college. "Among the fine things sent were a splendid farm wagon, electrical work, machine shop work, tailoring articles, cabinet work, from the mechanic arts department, and fine dresses and fancy cooking from the home economies department. "The citizens are invited to inspect the work when visiting the fair or when it is in place at the college." I shall have more to say in another letter. CHARLES E. STUMP.

MEMORIAL SERVICES IN HONOR OF THE LATE ENOS BOND He was an honored member of the Grand Army of the Republic; he was connected with the Police Department of Chicago for twenty-nine years; he was highly respected and well known to the citizens residing in the old Town of Lake and in Englewood. George G. Meade Post, No. 444, Grand Army of the Republic, held its annual memorial services Sunday, January 20, at the post hall, 6226 Princeton avenue, Chicago. These services were held for members who had passed out during the year of 1923. Among those was Enos Bond, the only colored member. A brief record of each soldier's life was read. Enos Bond Enos Bond was born April 30, 1841, at Vincennes, Indiana, and at the age of seven years removed with his parents to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he grew to manhood and was educated in the public schools of that city. On September 12, 1864, at the age of 23 years, he enlisted as a private in Co. A, 17th U. S. Colored Volunteer Infantry, 2d Brigade, 1st Division, Army of the Cumberland, 4th Army Corps, and was promoted to company clerk. He took active part in the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864, and the battle of Nashville, Tennessee, December 15, 1864, at which battle he received a shell wound in the left knee, for which he was in the hospital 164 days. After his return to his regiment from the hospital, he was placed on special duty as mounted orderly at post headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, by Captain W. C. Thorp, Inspector General of the Department of Tennessee, and received his honorable discharge at Nashville, September 24, 1865. Mr. Bond settled in Cook County, Illinois, September 8, 1866, and was an active G. A. R. man, having been one of the organizers of John Brown Post No. 50 and its first commander. He later organized the Martin R. Delaeney Post, on the west side of Chicago, and was also its first commander. He was elected chairman of By Miss Louise Bond 1.

In February, 1886, he was elected Junior Vice Department Commander of Illinois and served one term. He served 8 years in the Chicago Light Infantry. On June 12, 1882, he was commissioned as First Lieutenant by Governor Shelly M. Cullum and served 3 years in what is now the Eighth Illinois Regiment. On April 8, 1888, he was appointed on the Town of Lake police force by the late Jesse Sherwood, who was Police Commissioner for the Town of Lake at that time when the Town of Lake was annexed to Chicago. Mr. Bond went into the Chicago Department of Police and served 29 years there. Mr. Bond's grandfather was a volunteer soldier in the Revolutionary War and was on duty in Boston when freedom came to the American colonists. His father and brother fought with him in the Civil War. A son in-law, Joseph Streadrick, fought in the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898. A son, Hodd Bond, and two grandsons, James Williams and Howard Streadrick, and a great grandson, Gilbert Williams, fought in the great World War in France.
