It will be recalled that not so long ago, that the lower house of Congress, under the leadership of Hon. Martin B. Madden, from the First Congressional District of Illinois, decided to appropriate and in fact did appropriate more than three hundred thousand dollars for the benefit of Howard University at Washington, D. C., and the government, it seems, has for more than fifty years made similar appropriations, varying in amounts, to that great educational institution and after everything had settled down in connection with the appropriation, quite a number of firecating southern Congressmen, felt highly insulted over the remarks of Rev. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth street Presbyterian church, Washington, D. C., November 20, 1923, in relation to the Christianity of the late President Woodrow Wilson, and Col. William Jennings Bryan and they succeeded in having the item stricken out.
At that point Congressman Madden fought to the last ditch to have it restored, and Congressmen Larsen of Georgia, Clark of Florida, Byrnes of S. Carolina, Carter of Oklahoma, Davis of Tennessee and several other southern Congressmen, fired hot shots into Congressman Madden, all along the line and on the final roll call, Congressman Madden won out with two hundred and nine votes in favor of restoring the item or the appropriation to one hundred and six votes in oppo-

Twenty-five years of that time, Mr. Ringer has been successfully engaged in the real estate and insurance business and by dealing honestly and fairly with his army of friends and clients he has succeeded in building up one of the best known institutions of its kind in Chicago.
Although his time is always well taken by this business, he has, always been a leader in activities in the public behalf.

Hon. Charles Krutckoff, Republican candidate for renomination for Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, was born in Old Chicago, November 1, 1871. He is a graduate of the Chicago Grammar and High Schools and later on took a two-year business course.
Mr. Krutckoff was one of the first employees of the County Assessor's office. In 1905 he was promoted to Chief Clerk, which position he held until 1918, when he was elected as a member of the Board of Assessors. While ably serving as its chief clerk for so many years he was always

pration:
The Congressional Record of March
13, contains a full account of the runnin
g fight between Congressman Madden
and the southern Congressmen.
In winding up his final argument, at
the close of all the debates and wrangling,
Congressman Madden exclaimed
in part as follows:
Mr. Madden: "The time has come when I think we ought to answer the gentlemen who live in the Southern States when they denounce the propriety or wisdom or right of the Government to make a contribution to this institution for the education of those who, in a sense, are ostracized from all institutions of learning outside of our race. We who have control of the Government have a responsibility for action, and when I say that I mean the race to which we belong, and in admitting that responsibility we must be fair, we must be just, we must be discriminating and we must not so act as to humiliate the people of another race struggling in our midst for existence. It should be our duty as well as our pleasure to do everything within our power to promote the well-being, the happiness, the prosperity of those people. They are an essential part of the people of America. The prosperity of the Nation should be maintained, and I think I can venture the statement without fear of successful contradiction that within the last two or three years the
municipal bathing beach at Windsor Park on a half mile of lake front; was active in the development of 79th street as a through thoroughfare; and has always been recognized as a powerful proponent of track elevation and elimination of grade crossings. Many other public improvements, both local and city wide, have been the result of his untiring efforts.
Mr. Ringer is one of the most prominent Masons in this country. His fraternal and business associations are many, including the Masonic, Chicago Lodge No. 4, B. P. O. E., Odd Fellows, Loyal Order of Moose, Knights of Pythias, Phi Kappa Tau, Press Club and Hamilton Club of Chicago, the Windsor Park and Cheltenham Business Men's Association, of which he is president, Chamber of Commerce, Chicago Real Estate Board, and other business and improvement associations.
HE is closing his eighth year as a

Mr. Krutckoff's long service with the Board of Assessors eminently fits him for re-nomination at the primaries Tuesday, April 8. Aside from being a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, Mr. Krutckoff measures arms with the successful business men in this city for some time past he has

people of the South itself have discovered a greater need for the people of the black race than ever before. They have discovered themselves that it is essential to give more consideration to the well-being of the colored people of the South than they have been willing to give before. Now, why should you object to the favorable consideration that is being given to this problem? Are you afraid to educate the Negro? Do you want to keep him in ignorance? Do you want to prevent him from becoming a factor in the commercial and industrial life of the Nation? Objection has been made from time to time against the appropriation of funds for the maintenance of Howard University, and opposition to this proposal at this time is not the only opposition that has been made by the gentlemen from South Carolina, and I undertake to say without being certain as to the truth of what I say, he has objected to this proposal before. This is not the first occasion. He does not believe in the advancement of the colored race."
Being right on the eve of the primaries which will be held on Tuesday, April 8, we have every reason to believe that the vast majority of the colored people residing in the First Congressional District of Illinois will rally to the support of Hon. Martin B. Madden on primary day and re-land him back in Congress where he can continue his great fight for down-trodden humanity!
RINGER
Nomination for Assessors
member of the Board of Assessors of which he is now chairman. His administration of that office has given him a reputation as an extremely fair, reasonable, public official, always ready and willing to give his personal service and attention to any call.
As a candidate for re-election he offers qualifications that can only be gained by experience, a pleasing personality and sound business judgment. Mr. Ringer, who was born in Nova Scotia in 1874, and come to this city while he was a very small boy, is happily married and resides with his family in a beautiful home at 7251 Crandon avenue. There is one more thing that can be truthfully said in behalf of Mr. Ringer and that is that he has proven himself to be one of the true friends of the colored people and they will, on Tuesday, April 8, vote in favor of his re-nomination for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County.

LUNCHEON IN HONOR OF THE WOMEN'S COOK COUNTY REPUBLICAN CLUB
The luncheon given by the Women's Cook County Permanent Republican Club, in honor of their sixth anniversary, at the Vincennes hotel, was a beautiful affair. One hundred and seventy-five were present. The dining room was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and looking from the long banquet table which extended entirely across the south end of it were the guest tables of the members of the club. At each of these tables were seated a member with four or five friends invited as her special guests.
Seated at the banquet table, which was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns, were the president, Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, and her officers board of directors. Many of the down town friends also were there. Among them were Miss Harriet Vittum, Mrs. Brundage and several others, Hon. Oscar DePriest, Charles Krutchkoff, Hon. Chas. Ringer and Mr. Snow also honored the ladies with their presence and praised the ladies for the splendid work they had done for them and were still doing to aid them in their various campaigns. A splendid program had been arranged by the Secretary, Mrs. Bertha Marshall.
Everything was looked after by the ladies in such splendid style until there left no doubt in any person's mind that this organization was successful in all of its undertakings. This club is always taken into consideration when there is to be any great big job done as these, women have a system by which they work and accomplish things. They are being known all over this city and asked for their endorsement of a candidate when they start a race for any office. They stand solidly for the best. And the ladies deserve great honor and praise for it has been said that they are never on time but the lobby of the Vincennes Hotel was packed at twelve thirty, the hour for which the luncheon was set. The luncheon was in every way a success.
HONORED WITH BANQUET
The three past presidents of The Ladies Progressive Club, of which Mrs. Elizabeth Rochon is president, were honored at the leap year anniversary exercises on Friday evening, March 21, with a banquet. The guests of honor were Mesdames Eliza Jackson, Ida Hall and Grace Patillo. Numerous addresses were made by other guests. The membership of the club is limited to fifteen but they do a great work along their line. These exercises were held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell, 4516 Indiana Ave.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 29, 1924
LAW ENFORCEMENT WINNING THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME.
THE SPLENDID RECORD OF HON. ROBERT E. CROWE
Hon. Robert E. Crowe, State's Attorney of Cook County, recently compiled his past public record since assuming his present responsible position in this city and county into pamphlet form which runs somewhat as follows:
To the People of Cook County—
The State's Attorney has a single client—the people. His duties are prescribed by law and are comprehended in eleven paragraphs of the statute which sets forth the many things he is required to do as the chief law officer of the county. He is charged with the commencement and prosecution of all actions, suits, indictments, of all prosecutions, both civil and criminal, in any court of record in his county, in which the people of the state or county may be concerned; is the legal advisor of every county officer and Justice of the Peace; is required to assist the Attorney General whenever necessary in matters affecting the county before the Supreme Court and to perform other further duties as may, from time to time, be enjoined on him by law.
In short the State's Attorney of Cook County has the most extensive general law practice, both civil and criminal, of any attorney-at-law in the world.
Chicago and Cook County Not Syn-
onymous
To the average person the thought prevails that Chicago and Cook County are synonymous terms. It is a most erroneous conception. In Cook County there are no less than eighty other cities and villages. Chicago is forty miles from Elgin. Elgin is partly in Cook County. Outside Chicago are numerous townships, containing 794 square miles, or 508,160 acres, with a population of nearly double that of any other county. Cook is not only the wealthiest and most populous county but is also the leading agricultural as well as manufacturing and industrial county.
Volume of County's Legal Business
In volume and consequence the county's legal business (exclusive of criminal matters) is commensurate with its wealth, population and importance. Its law questions are as varied as its activities; as intricate as its system of local government. County litigation often involves immense sums of money. It is usually affected with vital public interest as well. The State's Attorney of Cook County is not only a public prosecutor, he is also a municipal corporation lawyer. Township and school officers are entitled to his counsel and when it is realized that outside of Chicago the supervisors, highway commissioners, town clerks, town assessors, town collectors, justices of the peace, police magistrates, constables and school officers aggregate more than thirteen hundred—all a concern of the State's Attorney—an idea may be gained of the volume of legal business for which he is responsible.
I am inviting your attention to these facts because it is the popular view that the State's Attorney is merely a prosecuting officer, concerned only with the punishment of criminals and the oversight of community morals. Because of the more spectacular features attending criminal prosecutions the activities of the State's Attorney in other matters involving the welfare of the people are infrequently mentioned, quickly forgotten, or dismissed with scant comment if they happen occasionally to attract public attention.
In criminal cases the State's Attorney is best known owing to attendant newspaper publicity and the state of the public mind. His administration is opposed or condemned on his showing in this phase of his work. The public gives little credit if an unpopular prosecution, however righteous, is undertaken and is quick to condemn when there is not a response to hysteria usually promoted by individuals or groups actuated by selfish personal or political interests. It is unfortunately true that the guilty frequently escape conviction because of the lack of legal evidence to convict. Cunning, conspiracy and perjury sometimes nullify the efforts of the State's Attorney and at times it seems that the criminal law is written to protect the evil-doer at the expense of the law-abiding. This is a handicap and a hazard ever confronting the State's Attorney and will continue until the people demand the rewriting of a criminal code that is archaic, inequitable and filled with loop holes through which the experienced professional criminal finds little difficulty in escaping with the assistance of the lawyer criminal whose ethical sense of proportion is measured solely by the size of his fee.
Winning Fight Against Crime
But notwithstanding the obstacles, progress has been and is being made as I shall presently demonstrate. The fight against crime is being won. In support of this assertion I quote from an address of Colonel Henry Barrett Chamberlin, Operating Director of the Chicago Crime Commission before the
Industrial Club of Chicago. He said: "Four years ago 135 persons indicted for murder were awaiting trial. Some of these cases had been pending five years. 104 were out on bail. On November 1, 1923, there were 98 persons awaiting trial for murder in Cook County. Of these 35 were out on bail. 55 were in jail and 8 were not apprehended. Three of these are 3 years old; seven are 2 years old; fourteen are one year old. The rest are within the calendar year, with one exception—that of Ralph Gallucci who committed a murder in 1919 and fled. He has recently been apprehended and is now in jail."
Further is this outstanding fact. On December 1, 1920, several days before I assumed the office of State's Attorney, the records show that there were 413 prisoners in the Cook County jail awaiting trial on indictments and 106 awaiting the action of the Grand Jury. On December 1, 1923, there were but 295 prisoners awaiting trial on indictment and but 56 awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.
Appended is a brief report of some of the things accomplished by the State's Attorney for you—his client. The comparisons are in figures compiled from public records. There are given some excerpts from letters penned by people whose standing in the community is an assurance of non-partisan, unbiased, truthful expression of opinion and also a few editorial comments from the many which have appeared in the Chicago newspapers. All of this is to give an account of the stewardship of the State's Attorney to his client—the People—and to ask the co-operation of all law-abiding, decent, God-fearing persons to the end that this year may witness a marked advance in those things so requisite and necessary to the happiness and prosperity of all of us.

State's Attorney

Some Facts and Figures
Some Facts and Figures
The State's Attorneys prior to John J. Healy, under the law, were permitted to retain the fines and forfeitures collected by them. Since then the various State's Attorneys have paid into the County Treasury the following amounts, collected by them on fines and bond forfeitures:
John J. Healy, from December 5th, 1904, to December 5, 1908, $123,677.91.
John E. W. Wayman, from December 7th, 1908, to December 1st, 1912, $64,215.75.
Maclay Hoyne (First Term) from December 1st, 1912, to December 1st, 1916, $167,487.26.
Maclay Hoyne (Second Term) from December 1st, 1916, to December 4th, 1920, $239,005.88.
Robert E. Crowe (during the first three years of his administration) from December 6th, 1920, to December 1st, 1923, $419,948.42.
Prior to Robert E. Crowe's term as State's Attorney no money was paid into the County Treasury by any State's Attorney as interest; Mr. Crowe has paid to the County Treasury all money received by him as interest on County funds while in his possession.
Comparative Record of Convictions
Number of persons convicted in the Criminal Court by Maclay Hoyne during the last four years of his term, 4,461.
Number of persons convicted in the Criminal Court by Robert E. Crowe in the first three years of his term, 5,294.
Number of indictments pending December 1, 1920, when Maclay Hoyne left office, 1,973.
Number of indictments pending September 1, 1923, at the opening of the Criminal Court. 845.
Number of women convicted in the Criminal Court during the first three years of Mr. Crowe's term (one being Mrs. Klimek, who was entenced to life, and one, Mrs. Nitti, sentenced to hang), 237.
Bond Forfeitures
During the last year of Maclay Hoyne's administration, 1920, there were forfeited in the Criminal Court bonds amounting to $2,242,500.
During the current year, from December 1, 1922, to December 1, 1923, under Mr. Crowe's administration the amount of bond forfeitures was reduced to $648,800.
The total number of bonds forfeited during the last year of Hoyne's administration, 1920, was 477.
The total number of bonds forfeited in the current year under Mr. Crowe's administration, from December 1, 1922 to December 1, 1923 was 236.
This improvement in the bond sitation is due to the system inaugurated by Mr. Crowe. All fair minded men and women must admit that Hon. Robert E. Crowe has rendered a splendid account of his stewardship for the length of time that he has served as State's Attorney of Cook County and everything seems to indicate that the voters will, on Tuesday, April 8, permit him to serve them in his present capacity.

Judge Jonas ranks among the best friends of the Colored race in Chicago
Hon. Edgar A. Jonas, Republican candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, was, born in Wisconsin October 14, 1885, and he has been a highly honored and popular resident of this wonderful city for many years. As he approached-manhood, he graduated from the Chicago Law School with high honors, in 1909, with the degree of L.L.B. and later on he received the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence. For 13 years he and his splendid wife, Mrs. Jonas, have resided in the old 49th Ward, at 5632 Wayne avenue.
Right under his cut can be found mention of the past and present record of public service on the part of Judge Jonas and there is not one blemish against his record as a public official in this city or county.
He has faithfully served as a Trustee of the Chicago Public Library from 1917 to 1919 (which position is honorary and without pay), and during his term as a Trustee the great Legler Library was built for the people of this city.
After terminating his duties as a member of the Library Board, he accepted a position as First Assistant State's Attorney, which office he occupied for nearly three years. As to his record in that position, he cheerfully refers you to the facts as disclosed by the public records on file.
During the past two years he also assumed the duties of a Director of the Board of Trustees having charge of the City of Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, which is one of the largest institutions of its kind in the world. In addition to being a Director, he was elected President of the Board and has served without pay in that capacity for more than a year. It was during part of his administration as a Director and President in connection with the other members of the Board that the death rate of tuberculosis was cut from twelve deaths per day to six per day.

So far, it must be admitted by all the citizens of Chicago that up to the present time Judge Jonas has proven himself to be a painstaking public official who is deeply interested in the welfare of his fellow citizens.
The Chief Justice of the Criminal Court, in his annual report for the year 1923, said: "To First Assistant State's Attorney Edgar A. Jonas, in charge of the State's Attorney's trial staff, belongs considerable credit for this record. Under his direction the trial of cases was speedier and more certain."
In December, 1923, the Daily News made the following comment in its columns: "Edgar A. Jonas has been First Assistant State's Attorney for the last three years and in that powerful post has achieved an enviable reputation for squareness and determination in the prosecution of evil-doers. He has handled many important cases involving crime of note."
In commenting on the crime situation in Cook County the Chicago Evening Post in one of its editorials stated: 'The Chief Justice acknowledges the help of the public, prosecutor's office, and particularly the cooperation of First Assistant State's Attorney Edgar A. Jonas, in bringing about this greatly improved situation.' Judge Jonas is a highly honored member of the Chicago Bar Association, Illinois Bar Association, American Bar Association, Sincerity Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Lincoln Park Chapter, Lincoln Park Commandery, Oriental Consistory, Medinah Temple, National Union, Royal League, Independent Order of Foresters, Loyal Order of Moose, B. P. O. E.

With this splendid record behind him and with his wide popularity among thousands of his friends in all parts of this city, including his great army of colored friends who will also stand by him on Tuesday, April 8 and assist to nominate him for one of the honorable Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago.

He has the honor of being the first state's attorney of Cook County to select the first colored man, in the person of Hon. F. L. Barnett, as assistant state's attorney, and Mr. Deneen was responsible for the selection of Mr. Barnett, in 1906, to make the race for one of the judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. The Colored voters in this city and throughout the great State of Illinois should possess the moral courage to come out in the open and manfully fight for the nomination, on April 8th, of Hon. Charles S. Deneen for United States senator from Illinois.

MINSTRELS' EASTER OFFERING
Easter Monday night the Amateur Minstrel Club, on its 28th anniversary, aided by friends and a generous public, will contribute the greatest Easter Offering in the history of their existence when they burn the mortgage and present the Old Folks Home with a deed signed—"Paid in Full."
$2,500.00 Necessary
The above amount must be realized to accomplish the desired result. All editors of our weeklies have offered the columns of their journals gratis, to keep the public reminded. Chairs, costumes, punch, etc., have been donated, and the "Head Chef Cook" and all the little "Cooks" from Harmon's Dreamland will play while the Amateurs sing, and then play while the public dances. Just think of it they too offer their services gratis. The attendance will be larger than ever this year. It might be well to come early.
Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Bradley have removed their home from 3849 S. State street to their elegant new home, located at 4801 Champlain avenue, where they will be greatly pleased to meet their many friends. Dr. and Mrs. Bradley richly deserve to be highly commended for striving, struggling and saving until they are now on the top of the wave of prosperity.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 29, 1924
COL. CHARLESE. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAMPING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX FOR SOME CAUSE OR OTHER, DELIGHTS TO HANG AROUND IN LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA.
Leland College, Baker, Louisiana. It is a few miles jump from Jacksonville, Florida to Baker, Louisiana, but I have made it just the same and here I am this week as happy as a June bug in a blackberry patch eating nice juicy blackberries, and you are helping me to shout, because there was manhood enough in the Republican Senators to confirm Walter Cohen, and he is now in the position, and President Coolidge had manhood enough to stand by it, although he will lose the electoral votes of Louisiana.
Of course he had already lost them, and he has also said to Louisiana and all the other people who would object to a man on account of the time of his birth, the dark of the moon, or those who were born before the McKinley tariff was placed on colored goods, that he is president of all the people, and will recognize American citizens even though they were born dark. He has demonstrated that he has a real backbone and not a shoot string up and down his back, where he sits on one end and his head on the other.
As I told you I do not know much about the game called politics, but honey, I am going to cast my vote for Mr. Coolidge first, last and I am going to vote in Cook County, Illinois, where my one vote will be worth just one thousand in Louisiana. For when Louisiana casts its electoral vote for any republican, the devil will have left his fiery throne, and with the burning cross took charge of this earth and we will all be crying it is "hash-square-lull brethren and let us escape." I left Jacksonville and rode right on through to Mobile without getting off the wagon, and when I got to Mobile it was about 2 o'clock in the morning, hence I made my way to the stopping place and bright and early the next morning I got out and touched some friends. I got a package from Poro college, and I am here to tell you that Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone are putting it over the top and they are blessing humanity, and for them I am praying. They are now supplying us with everything that is made by the other people, the only thing they are the manufacturers and that means more for our young people to do. Now if you want face powder, Poro will furnish it in brunette, flesh, white, brown; and then they can furnish you with talcum powder, with vanishing cream, cold cream, soap toilet water, the finest made, and the finest kind of perfume in fine bottles, both of them and should you need something called deodorant, they have it. I don't know just what it is for, but it is something that is fine and will do the work.
I feel to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Malone, for they are real representatives of our people, and they are for progress. They are Christian people and both members of the African Methodist church. Prof. Aaron E. Malone is a lay delegate to the general conference, and will represent his church in that great law-making body which will meet the first Monday in May in the city of Louisville, Ky. He is at present chairman of the laymen and I am sure he will be reelected. He is not seeking the honor because it will mezn work, but we need a man who knows how to work, and I am sure they will need him in the general conference.
Just before leaving off from Mobile, for I had a big time there, and yet I was made to feel sad when I heard that another great man had fallen, an old landmark had passed away, Hon. I. T. Montgomery, the founder of Mount Bayou, Miss, and one of the great men. He lived a life that would inspire any of our people. He was a slave and belonged in that Davis family, and had the pleasure, when but a slave to serve as private secretary and general all round man to the brother of Jeff Davis. We pause to pay a tribute to a great man. It tells others to get ready for the reaper death is passing through the land. God help us to be ready when he calls for each of us.
In Mobile, I was thrown with Dr. H. Roger Williams, Dr. U. J. Robinson, pastor of the Franklin Street Baptist church, and one of the leading young men in the state, and James Knox, the efficient planter, and a wonderful character. I went to the establishment of Mr. Knox and believe me honey, my mouth was about to jump out of my heart, because they had one funeral there, and there were 8 other bodies awaiting the time to be planted in the earth. I got out and got out in a hurry, believe me, honey. I did not stop until I got out of Mobile. Into New Orleans, and I am not going to talk about that place now, but will in another letter, or some
other months. It matters not, for I want to tell you that I am still mingling with college presidents, college professors, college teachers and if you don't watch out I will be regarded a college man. But not just now. I will have to put on some finishing touches. The paper has conferred upon me the degree of "Colonel." I am going to wear it with honor and dignity. You will find it hard to reach me in the future. Perhaps you will not be able to get up close enough to hand me a red apple. But I spent one night at the home of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Gaines, and you know I have told you about this wonderful physician. He is doing things. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. H. C. Dumas, the wife of Dr. H. C. Dumas, the druggist, the man who owns his drugstore and the building where it is located and with an upstairs where there are offices. Mrs. Ida Dumas is a refined cultured well educated woman, and I was delighted to talk with her.
But now back to this college business, you will understand when I can mingle with educated people, such as I have been talking about and such as I will talk about now, you will see that I am getting away from squash and becoming pumpkins. For right now I am in the residence of a college president, Prof. J. B. Watson, who has his place in the educational world, but he had to prepare to take it first, and honey, he is right there with the goods. I want to congratulate the Rev. Dr. J. H. Branham, assistant pastor of Olivet Baptist church, for being related to such a noble educator. He is what they call a pioneer now, for he is way out here in the country, serving as president of a college whose doors were thrown open for the first time last fall. It is an old school, but they sold out in New Orleans and have had a time getting located. They have a fine plot. If you know Mrs. Elvie L, Stewart, she is a graduate from that institution when it existed in New Orleans, just how many years ago, I do not know, but it was before "Heck" was a pup.
The first to greet me upon my arrival was President Watson, and then followed his secretary or the secretary of the school, Miss I. B. Hudson, the daughter of Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala. She is a wonderful young woman, knows how to write as fast as you can talk and then she can go to the typewriter and make red fingers dance a jig putting down what she took from your mouth. She ranks with experts in her line. I then had the pleasure of meeting the other professors and teachers. The school is young, under new management, for all the time the president has been a man of the other race, and this is the first time we have had charge. The last white president, Dr. Mitchell, went to heaven from Philadelphia while in the faithful service of one of his own race. He believed that the world should be both populated and educated. The population on his side and the educated people from my side. God take care of him.
The other teachers are Prof. A. Huggins, Science; Prof. E. M. Coleman, History-French; Prof. L. O. Harper, Mathematics-Athletics; Miss L. R. McKinley, Latin-Bible; Prof. W. L. James, English-Music; Mrs. W. G. Pugh, Grammar grades; Mrs. N. M. Foster, Matron, and there is Prof. I. S. Powell, superintendent of farm and grounds, and a wonderful character.
I am delighted to tell you I have enjoyed it here very much. They have just finished the residence for the president and I slept in it all alone. The first one to spend a night in this home, and I am ahead of President and Mrs. Watson. They have four bed rooms up stairs, two bath rooms, and then I don't know what is down stairs, but the building is heated by furnace, and they have the hot water arrangements, so you can bathe in water hot enough to pick a pig or chicken. It is up to you.
Now comes the time that I will have to bring this letter to a stop. Miss I. B. Hudson is getting ready to jump over the broomstick. It will be some time in the fall. She is wearing her diamond ring with smiles and with sweet anticipations of the future. May she leap well.
I will tell you about other things in another letter. I am to spend Sunday way out in the country, and will talk to you about it next week.
If you desire to write to me, send your letter to P. O. Box 725, St Augustine, Florida.

HON. FRANK J. LINK, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION FOR ONE OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO
Hon. Frank J. Link, has been in the public's eye for so long in the most honorable way that he needs no long introduction to the many readers of this newspaper. For many years he was a member of the City Council, from the old Twenty-Fifth Ward, now the new Forty-Eighth Ward and he has in the past served on all of the most important Committees of that body.
At the present time he is chairman of the Committee on Public Health and is a member of the Committee on Local Industries, Streets and Alleys; Local Transportation, and so on.
Alderman Link was one of the members of the City Council who bravely stood up in 1921 and voted in favor of rewarding the colored people, whose relatives lost their lives, during the Race Riots in this city in 1919. That act on the part of Alderman Link, stamped him as being absolutely free from race prejudice and that he is friendly to the colored people and to partly reward him for his loyalty and true manhood at that time all the colored people residing in this city and throughout Cook County, should on Tuesday, April 8, vote in favor of his nomination for one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago.
Two of the leading newspapers of Chicago and the Municipal Voters' League, sound the praises of Alderman Link, as follows:

CELEBRATED HER BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Bertha Montgomery celebrated her birthday last Saturday at the Community House, 3201 Wabash avenue, with a turkey dinner. All the members of her cabinet and workers in this campaign were invited and enjoyed the sumptuous repast. The birthday cake was a beauty and held "several" candles. We are sure there were too many to represent her age. Among the gifts she received were a beautiful cut steel beaded bag from her husband, a brass stand for her bird cage from the officers and workers of her organization, a box of stationery and a vanity case from Mrs. Floyd. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Horton, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, Mrs. Ada McKinley, Mrs. Emma Smith, Mr. Joe Snowden, Miss Fay Harper, Miss Audrey Lee, Mrs. Jessie Mapp, M. B. Clark, G. F. Ming, Nora Lee, Kattie Griffin, I. B. Thompson, Jordan, Floyd, Gaynor, Nannie Reed, Bertha Marshall, McClay, Roberts, Miller Norris, Higgins and Norton.

She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that旧 her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxuriant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for salow complexions and skin blemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance.
Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier. They can be obtained at 25¢ each from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

"Dark" Stars.
The United States naval observatory says: "A dark star is an invisible or very feebly luminous star. As it is impossible to estimate the proportion of stars that are 'dark,' it is conceivable that these may greatly outnumber the visible ones. That many dark stars do exist, however, is shown by their effects on the orbits and on the light of certain luminous ones, and by the appearance of novas."
Different Types of Men.
"You can't treat all men in the same way when they come to you with a bright suggestion," says an employer. "One type of man you must thank several times and possibly reward him for his thoughtfulness. He goes away delighted and tries to think up more good ideas. Another type would feel contempt for me if he told me something I didn't already know. I'm obliged to tell him that I have already been thinking of the very thing he suggests."
