LEN SMALL, GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF ILLINOIS, WHO HAS PLENTY OF GRIT AND BACKBONE, WILL INVADE CHICAGO WITH HIS RE-NOMINATION BOOM AND ON MONDAY, MARCH 17, HE WILL OPEN UP HIS SPEAKING CAMPAIGN AT ORCHESTRA HALL AND FOR THREE WEEKS THEREAFTER IN ALL PARTS OF THIS CITY HE WILL ENGAGE IN A HAND TO HAND FIGHT WITH THE OLD CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND ITS SHOUTERS, RETAINERS AND ITS BLOOD - THIRSTY CHARACTER ASSASSINS. I gave you recently a short description of the four contenders for the two larger places, the governorship, with its vast powers and larger patronage, and the toga which Lincoln sought in vain and Gullom and Sherman wore. It was my effort to give you a fair picture of the men who are contenders for the places. It was my purpose to "set down naught in malice" nor did I seek to extenuate. No jot or title of the great and just fame of Charles S. Denean was taken from his record as patriotic citizen, able and vigorous state's attorney and able and outstanding governor of the third of the sisterhood of states in population and wealth, and in stress of the country's peril the very first. No effort was made to take from Medill M Cornnick the credit of a wonderfully equipped man for the great post he seeks. It was not mentioned that the candidacy for Senator on his part is in aid of that larger race which he has set himself to run with the white house for its final goal. For the purpose of that race this is an elimination contest. Republics are not only ungrateful but forgetful. One must keep in condition by winning every match and remain fit as a fiddle. The dice are being shaken so rapidly that no man knows what a day may bring forth. But yesterday one of the democratic candidates seemed the lone "last hope" of his tribe, and today his name is uttered under the breath of his worshippers even. He stands no more show than a Chinaman would have for Mayor of San Francisco. But McCormick has no smell of oil upon the garments put about him by Illinois. But his fortunes are in a way bound up by complications which are not of his creation, but are just as much his burdens as if they had been cut out by him, instead of for him. He has the active opposition of the vast body of men who see in Len Small the victim of a relentless persecution by the powerful press, led by what some call the World's Greatest and others pronounce also the World's Meanest. But whatever they say the people of Illinois do not despise the vast influence of that newspaper. And friends of Deneen are also talking of him as a possible occupant of the White House in the dim and perhaps not too distant future. The THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 15, 1924 The race for Attorney General of Illinois is interesting. Ed. Brundage needs no encomiums or knocks at your hands. His record speaks for itself. His friends speak of him as the outstanding figure in the dreary desert of mediocre men, and the one incorruptible voice of the people in an era of corruption and graft. His enemies say that he has expended vast funds in a fruitless effort to besmirch the man who was once in Chicago so powerful that the word of this Caesar might have stood against the world. They say that now that Thompson is out of the limelight that the attorney general is seeking to ruin his friend Len Small, and the men who stood with "your Mayor" right or wrong. You may pay your money and take your choice of horns of demon or robe of angel. But the local situation is far and away the most important of all the issues to thousands of voters in Cook County. The State's Attorney of Cook County is in the eye of thousands more important than Daugherty or Brundage and this is in a great measure true. The average citizen looks to the state's attorney to protect him from the footpad, and cares little whether the lease of the tea pot dome was regular or irregular, or whether Armour paid 4 per cent or 8 for the money of the people of Illinois. So that brings us to consider the two men who seek that office, the one having already been its incumbent for the past four years and the other having worn the judicial ermine with much of honor and some distinction. The friends of the present incumbent speak of him as Bobby and say he is a regular guy. They pronounce him equal to the demands of the greatest prosecuting outfit, with one exception, in the world. Cook County, after all, deals with more of the graver crimes than any other one jurisdiction in the world. London is a mere patch on the overcoat of crime which covers Chicago, and New York long ago charged our city with having the habits of a frontier town within a stone's throw of the fretted spires of temples of religion and the towering homes of Big Business. So that it takes a real INUES FAR NOMINATE MANY PR STATE ARE AND WAG NOR OF ILLINOIS, SPRIT AND DE CHI- MINATION MARCH SPEAK- CHESTRA WEEKS ARTS OF AGE IN A WITH THE AND ITS AND ITS CHARACTER man to properly fill the office in this beating heart of the Nation. Robert Crowe was Judge for a term and had full time to learn the devious paths that the underworld treads to violate the law and still stay within it and outside the hoose-gow. He added to his experience as a lawyer the knowledge gained upon the bench in the criminal court. And then he knew the other world of politics in Chicago. For but for this knowledge he would not have been drafted by the splendidly organized and smoothly working Lundin-Thompson machine. They always knew what they wanted and never picked tyros when veterans could be had. Much comment has been made as to why Crowe flew the Thompson coop in a critical emergency in the life of the machine which created him, but that is neither here nor there. Some say he was stalling. His record speaks for itself and all men know what he has done and how he has done it. George B. Holmes has been a full term on the Municipal bench and a few years over. He was a good lawyer and had the respect of bench and bar. He has been an upright judge, dispensing justice always and exercising the right to mercy when occasion required. He is beloved by a large circle of admiring friends who see in him the ideal State's Attorney. He is sufficiently aggressive to see that the citizen may venture out after nightfall without danger of the footpad, and also that there are no inside jobs when the criminal is once at the bar. Judge Holmes is a veteran of the Spanish American War and saw service of the arduous kind. He saw the hell of modern warfare with Spanish Mauspers spitting their deadly contents at every protruding American head. During the great world war he served his country in ways that helped it most. All in the Deneen ticket is materially strengthened for having this splendid citizen, patriot and lawyer where the people may elect him to the most responsible county office within their gift. And then there is the Recorder's office to be filled. That office is the largest of its kind in the world.

In numbers of documents handled, aggregate of consideration the Recorder's office in Cook county leads all the rest. Joe Haas has made it one of the first in point of efficiency.

AND IN- DIANA (Lincoln News Service) Aurora —Illinois, by the census of 1820, had ‘slaves in every county but two. There were. still 746 slaves in Illinois by the census of 1830, and slavery was to be found in the state in a few counties as late as 1847, of 60 years after the adoption of the Or- dinance of 1787, which declared: “There shail be neither slavery nor in- voluntary servitude in the Northwest Territory, otherwise than in the pun- ishment of crimes.” Indiana sought repeatedly to have the anti-slavery clause of the Ordinance of 1787 ap- rogated, and Governor William Henry Harrison (afterward President) was the leader of this movement to intro- duce slavery into Indiana. ~ HON. ROBERT E. CROWE BIBLICAL NAMES USED BY THE MASONIC FRATERNITY IN TRADITION, SYMBOLS AND LEGENDS By Sir James E. Bish 33 SOLOMON the son of David and Bathsheba, is by far the greatest char- acter in Masonry, his attainment as King, his vast wealth, his discovery of the plot of Adonjah to seize the throne, his marriage to Pharaoh's daughter, his Throne of IVORY, his building new walls around Jefusalem have found no comment or emulation ‘by Masonry; but his Wisdom, his Al- fiance with HIRAM of Tyre, the Building of the TEMPLE which are Legends of the Craft, have been the foundation of the noble fraternity. Hiram King of Tyre was a lover of King David, was also an admirer of SOLOMON the son, and the alliance with the father brought them in close relation to Solomon, who admired him, because he was a friend of his father, and when divine providence selected Solomon to build the Temple, Hiram became deeply interested in his suc- cess, so much so that he furnished much of the material that went into the Temiple. Not only did be furnish the cedar and brass, he also furnished skilled artists; among them Hiram the widow's son, to put the material to- gether. Hiram of Tyre had prepared much of the material for his friend King David, and when Solomon as- cended the throne, turned the material over to him. Hiram the Tyrean has long been a man of mystery to the Craft; all that is known of him is that he was a widow's son of the tribe of Dan. He was skilled in the working ‘of brass, metals, stone and wood. He was also skilled in embroidery, tapes- try, dyes and the manufacture of fine clothes, and possessed great inventive power. He executed whatever work there was to be done in and around the Temple. When this Temple was complete, it was said that it resembled the handiwork of the great Jehovah, rather than that of human hands. The lesson taught by this legend of the Temple is that Masonry recognizes man as the living Temple of God. That Temple built without any tool of iron, wherein dwells the soul, so perfect that when this earthly temple is dis- solved it dwells forever in the Heaven- ly realms beyond the skies. The next important personage of the Bible used in masonry is Zerubbabel, one of the Princes of the House of Judah, a grandson of Jehoiakim, who led the Jews out of captivity back to Pales- tine and was afterwards appointed Governor over Judea. After long sui- fering, never losing his fidelity to his people and finally being rewarded for his. integrity, a great lesson is drawn from this character in the Council of ‘one of the branches of Masonry, con: -veying the impression that rank and }distinction. are done away with in ‘Masonry, and that fidelity and merit ‘only are rewarded.

But his crowd thought him the last best hope to beat: smiling Joe Haas rand so he is in the ring. Perhaps no stronger man could have been selected to try conclusions with “Uncle Joc:” Of course, it takes a rather peculiar twist of mind for any colored man to vote against Uncle-Jog in view of the fact that he has gone further and done more for them as a group than any five officers in the country for more than forty colored jwen and women are employed iu his office, But you can never tell about polities.

Carey would have so soon forgotten the remark-of both of this wonderful pair’ that if the Chicago Tribune and the MeCormicks were scheduled for heaven, then they would cut across the woods, Now the Tribune is the World's Greatest Newspaper and both of ‘these men are strenuously engaged in the effort to clect one of the hated tribe of McCormick to the United. States Senate, It is claimed that Oscar. is ‘out of the pure generosity of his heart bearing all the expenses of the Me- Cormick campaign in the black belt and that his reward is simply his de- sire to have a good government, Of course, he couples with his support of Essington the statement that Small is not quite nice enough to be the Gov- ernor of Illinois. Ye gods and little fishes! Your correspondent does not believe in signs nor omens but he went off his fect when these rumors come with more or less evidence of truth. But Oscar was never sufficiently elo- quent ‘to approach Archibald in the fevor of his denunciation of the paper ance and truth over falsehood and su- perstition must and will prevail. There are many other prominent characters used but these are the most prominent, Artaxerxas, Joshua, Caleb, Jeremiah, Jacob and others: of Tess prominence. ‘Of ‘the, women of the Bible, Rahab and Esther stand out most prominent. Ra- hab, because of her oath with Joshua and Caleb whom she hid in her house when their lives were sought by her people as spies, when Jericho was de- stroyed, her and her family's lives were saved by Joshua and Caleb. Esther, who saved her own people by her en- treaties with the King, and the influ- ence of her beauty over him. Her peo- ple no doubt would have been exter- minated, the lesson of piety conveyed by Esther and the devotion and con- fidence of Rahab make them promi- nent among the lady branches of the fraternity. Jeptha, his daughter, who was supposed to suffer death to save her father’s honor, Ruth, the gleaner, who became the wife of Boaz, Mar- tha, the sister of Lazarus, Electa, the benevolent and devout Christian and others are beautifully grouped in one Of the degrees of the ladies; Hagar, the mother of Ishmael, Orpha, the daughter-in-law of Naomi, Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon are also grouped in a beautiful lesson to the Order of Eastern Star. Yet how strange it is that such characters as Naaham, Nimrod, Pythagoras _re- ceive no prominence in Masonry. Mary and Martha always appear ‘to- gether in the Bible but are separated in Masonry. Pythagoras, the wise philosopher, is sometimes mentioned. Naaham, the daughter of Lamech, who was closely associated with _ her brothers in preserving in hieroglyphics the secrets of masonry, Nimrod, the son of Ham, do not get mention dae them in Masonry; Nehemiah, Malachi, Isis and many others are simply mentioned. Yet it may be best that no more prominence is given to jother characters of the Bible, because the allegories of the Bible and the Le- gends interwoven in Masonry has caused some to believe that Masonry is a universal religion instead of a speculative art.

The large percentage of this increase in population in recent years from 25 families to more than 3,000 persons.

There was plenty of emotion in that act; but I admit, the book finished, that this restrained judicious student has made a strong case. “He has shown and interpreted a picture that has in it much that is new, and all that is unforgettable, The book has five chapters, the two that seemed to me freshest in concep- tion, those on the factory workers, en- titled “The South Buries its Anglo: Saxons,” and the study of tenancy, “The Single Crop.” In telling of the factory we do not hear of ‘child labor or tong hours but we get to the root ef the system, the control of the workek through the company's owner. ship of his home.

The chapter on “The Single Crop” ‘shows the dangerous growth of ten- ancy, and stresses the most important fact that the tenant is a migrant. “He is a wanderer and a homeless one. It is estimated that three hundred thou- sand farm tenants move every year i the United States. Im some instances the tenant moves every six, months.” This means that there is no local im- provement. Why plant a garden if you expect to Move next fall, or keep ‘pigs and: hens, or whitewash your ‘house, or support the school, or bother much about the church? To give a personal impression, I have travelled much and the Southern cotton belt is to. me the most desolate inhabited re- gion I have yet seen. What Tannen- baum says of the roving quality of the tenant largely explains it. Compare this writer's story of the Southern tenant with Hansen's Norwegian tale of “The Growth of the Soil.” A man must own the land to work it with his whole heart. It is encouraging to read that “In the last fifty years while the white farmer has been retrograding to ten- ancy the Negro has, in large numbers, become a land owner. There are more white than Negro tenants in eleven Southern states.” There is a chapter on the Ku Klux, and one on Southern prisons that is too terrible to be believable. Mr. Tannen- baum ends by saying of the Negro problem in the South that it has no solution, He advises us to give up thinking that it can be solved and do the first possible wise thing at hand. His own suggestions are; the organiz- ing of the’ mill-hands-in unions, the encouragement of foreign immigration, and the continual migration of the Negro to the North. He would like to see the South have more scapegoats It would give the Negro a needed rest. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) Among our 19 lighthouse keepers are two females.
