The Best and the Most Popular Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago That Chicago Has Ever Had and There Is No Question About His Re-nomination on Tuesday, April 8, for His Present Position, for He Stands Very High in the Estimation of All Classes of His Fellow Citizens.
HON. JAMES A. KEARNS Republican Candidate for Clerk of the Municipal Court
HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN Republican Candidate for United States Senator
HON. DENNIS J. EGAN Republican Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court
The people of Chicago will have an opportunity on April 8, 1924, of rewarding a faithful public servant by voting for the renomination of Hon. James A. Kearns for Clerk of the Municipal Court. This office is one of great and growing responsibility. There being far more litigation in the Municipal Court than in all other courts in Cook County combined, it requires a tremendous amount of work for the clerk to do. It has been truly called the people's court. It touches every phase of human life in our great city. It is, therefore, of the highest importance, that the executive head of the clerical department of this great court should be a man essentially human himself. That Mr. Kearns has been to a remarkable degree. Not only has honesty and efficiency characterized his administration, the heads of departments and the entire clerical force of the office, emulating the exam-
Hon. Charles Samuel Deneen Republican candidate for United States Senator, was born at Edwardsville, this state May 4, 1863. He is the son of Samuel H., and Mary F. (Ashley) Deneen. He received his A.B. at McKendree College in 1882, taught school about three years and May 10, 1891 he was happily united in marriage to Miss Bina Day Maloney of Mt. Carroll, Illinois.
Mr. and Mrs. Deneen are the proud parents of four children, namely, Charles Ashley, Dorthy, Frances and Viola Bina Day Deneen.
Mr. Deneen was admitted to the bar
Hon. Dennis J. Egan, Democratic candidate for re-nomination and re-election as chief Bailiff of the Municipal Cour of Chicago, has amply proven himself to be by far the best and the most efficient chief baliffs, who have so far occupied that important position.
Mr. Egan was born and raised in Chicago and comes from an old, highly respected family. He has part of his time filled several other important positions of honor and trust. He has served as member of the Legislature of Illinois, alderman of the old twentieth ward, has native ward, in the city council for three terms, head of the Torrens Land System and he was the honored chief clerk of the Board of Election Commissioners of Chicago. In all of those positions he has made an enviable record. He is particularly proud of his great work as Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago, and for the second time he comes before the public or the people of Chicago on his splendid unattained record which is one of faithful discharge of a public trust, and one hundred per cent efficiency in public affairs.
For example Chief Bailiff Egan will never permit his assistant bailiffs to serve writs on the poor and unfortunate people who are unable to pay their rents or dispossess them of their homes or premisses in bad weather, if possible he will not set their household goods out on the sidewalk on Saturday nights, when help for the misfortune is very scarcé and scant. It has been said in the beginning that the deputy bailiffs are grossly underpaid. Mr. Egan when he took hold five years ago, tried to remedy this by act of Legislature and concurrence of the Governor of the State of Illinois, both of which he succeeded in obtaining. The legislative act raised the wages of the hard worked employees from a minimum of $75,000 a month and a maximum $125.00 a month to a minimum of $150.00 a month and a maximum of $200.00.
Considering the kind of work that these employees are called upon to do, and the cost of living prevailing today, this did not seem excessive. A

ple set them by Mr. Kearns, have been obliging, courteous in manner and painstaking in the discharge of their trying duties. Mr. Kearns is rounding out his sixth year of faithful service. Such an ideal official has he been other men holding or aspiring to office could with profit to the public make him their guide and pattern. He has been a faithful public servant. The bench, the bar and the thousands of people who have had business relations with the clerk of the Municipal Court are unstinted in their praise of him. In recognition of his splendid record, the people of Chicago made Hon. James A. Kearns debtor will no doubt pay that debt by rewarding him with a renomination in April and a triumphant election in November.
The Past Public Record of Mr. Kearns Follows
1909-1917—As Alderman of the old 31st ward, James A. Kearns was
in 1886 and he has met with great success since entering into the practice of law in this city from 1890 to 1904 and he was born a natural politician. He served as a member of the legislature of this city in 1892, attorney for the Sanitary Wistrict of Chicago 1895 to 1896, elected State's attorney of Cook county in 1896, re-elected State's Attorney in 1900, elected governor of Illinois in 1904, re-elected governor of this state in 1908, serving as such until Jan. 1, 1913 from that time engaged in the practice of law to the present.
He is president and trustee of McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois. He is a highly honored member of the
flaw was found, however, in the act of relief, brought about by Mr. Egan. A technical objection was raised under which the Supreme Court recently decided that the act of the Legislature should have been submitted to a referendum. The result has been that everybody on the Bailiff's staff clerks, deputies and all, have been put back upon the meager pittance they received years ago.
Mr. Egan, however, with the usual kindly and just consideration for his employees has succeeded in having the matter placed upon the little ballot for the April election where it will undoubtedly receive the public approval in this referendum.
Mr. Egan's great services to his party (he has been a life-long Democrat) received recognition recently in the unanimous indorsement of his candidacy for re-election by the Democratic organization of Cook County. In doing this the committee gave well earned recognition to the man who above all others is responsible for the present superb local Democratic organization.
Nothwithstanding the fact that the business of the Bailiff's office has more than doubled since he took hold five years ago, and the further fact that he has had to go along with practically the same amount of help numerically that he was given at that time, the work of the office has been kept right up to the highest point of efficiency.
Over 160,000 civil writs were served last year by a force of deputy bailiffs, inadequate in point of numbers, and sadly underpaid.
This enormous amount of business means, to accomplish it, long hours of work, early and late, the traveling of hundreds of thousands of miles in the course of the year, and the doing of this in all kinds of weather, by men who are paid wages admitted to be insufficient for the upkeep of a single man at a decent, reasonable, American standard of living.
The four subsidiary courts of the Municipal court are in many ways among the most important in the whole administration of justice in Chicago.
These courts are the Speeders or
strongly commended by the press and by all civic organizations interested in good government. In 1917 the Woman's City Club said: "He deserves re-election. He has voted in the public interest ever since he entered the Council." 1918-1924-As Clerk of the Municipal Court for the past five years he has continued his good record. Cases in the Municipal Court, which cost the taxpayers $1.23 each in 1920, showed a balance of $28,690,95, OVER AND ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, for the year 1923. Lastly, Mr. Kearns, who always deports himself like a true gentleman, has thousands of good friends among the colored in this city and they, with the aid of his vast army of white friends, will on Tuesday, April 8, play their part in renominating him for Chief Clerk of the Municipal Court of Chicago.
American, Illinois State and Chicago Bar Associations and member of the Law Club, etc. He is also a member of the Union League, Hamilton, Exmoor, Beverly and Englewood Clubs. Mr. Deneen and his lovable wife, Mrs. Deneen and some of the other members of their family reside in a beautiful home at 457 West 61st place and his hundreds of thousands of tried and true friends scattered throughout this state feel dead sure that he will be the next United States Senator from Illinois.
The vast army of Republicans belonging in this state can vote for him at the state wide primaries Tuesday, April 8.
Automobile Court, the Morals Court, the Boy's Court, and the Court of Domestic Relations. Through their operation they have to do with the lives, the safety, the morals, public and private of the entire community besides the welfare through proper guidance of the rising generation. Some idea of the extent of the business done in just one of these courts—the Speeders—may be obtained from the fact that during the past year up to but not including December, 70,613 automobile cases, including speeding, driving while intoxicated, etc., came before the court. The number of cases run into the tens of thousands in the course of a year.
With all this work the Bailiff's office is actively and continuously identified and associated.
The total number of criminal cases called in the Municipal Court during 1923, but not including December, was 219,705, while during the last seven months of the same year up to December 1st, an average of 21,500 criminal cases per month was maintained.
During the past year there were 143 criminal cases given a preliminary hearing, assaults with deadly weapons 2,340, carrying concealed weapons 972, keeping of disorderly houses 10,515, drunkenness and prostitution 7,040.
Since the establishment of the Municipal Court it has handled close on 4,000,000 cases of all kinds, and over 2,000,000 of these were criminal cases. During last year 38,000 cash bonds amounting to $2,500,000 were received and disposed of in the criminal branch of the court.
As stated before, the records show that an average total of $5,000,000 of property interests are handled in the course of a year, by this court.
The Bailiff's office shows in various ways the difficulty of administering and enforcing the law.
In conclusion the citizens of Chicago irrespective of their political opinion feel proud of Hon. Dennis J. Egan and the business like way he has conducted all of the affairs in connection with the office of the Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago and on Tuesday, April 8, he will be re-nominated for that office with a tremendous majority at his back.

THE SPLENDID RECORD OF HON. |ighter
ROBERT E. CROWE
Hon. Robert E. Crowe; State’s At-
torney of Cook County, recently com-
piled his past public record since as-
suming bis present responsible posi-
tion 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 pre-
scribed 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 of-
ficer of the county, He is charged
with the commencement and prosecu-
tion 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 of-
ficer and Justice of the Peace; is re-
quired to assist the-Attorney, General
whenever necessary in matters affect-
ing 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. Chi-
‘cago is forty miles from Elgin. Elgin
is partly in Cook County. Outside
|Chicago are numerous townships, con-
taining 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 lead-
ing agricultural as well as manufactur-
ing 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 impor-
tance, Its law questions are as varied
as its activities; as intricate as its sys-
tem of local government. County lit-
igation 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 alse
a municipal corporation lawyer. Town-
ship and school officers are entitled to
his. counse® and when it is realized
that outside of Chicago the super-
‘visors, highway commissioners, town
clerks, town assessors, town collectors,
| justices of the peace, police magis-
trates, constables and school officers
agregate 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 re-
sponsible.
Tam 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 prosecu-
tions the activities of the State’s At-
torney in other matters involving the
welfare of the people are infrequently
mentioned, quickly forgotten, or dis-
missed with scant comment if they
happen occasionally to attract public
attention,
In criminal cases the State's Attor-
ney is best known owing to attendant
newspaper publicity and the state of
the public mind. His administration
is opposed or condemned on his show-
ing in this.phase of his work. The
public gives little eredit if an uapop-
ular prosecution, however righteous, is
undertaken and is quick to condemn
when there is not a response to hys-
teria usually promoted by individuals
‘or groups actuated by selfish- personal
jor political interests. It is unfortu-
nately true that the guilty frequently
escape conviction because of the tack
of legal evidence to conviet. Cunning,
conspiracy and perjury sometimes
nullify the efforts of the State's At-
torney 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, inequit-
jable and filled with loop holes through
which the experienced professional
criminal finds little difficulty in escap-

Industrial Club of Chicago. He said:
“Four years ago 135 persons in-
dicted 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 ‘per-
sons awaiting trial for murder in Cook
‘County. Of these 35 were out on bail,
55 were in jail and 8 were not appre-
hended. ‘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 commit-
ted a murder in 1919 and fied. He has
recently been apprehended and is now
in jai”
Furthemig this outstanding fact, On
December 1; 1920, several days before
T assumed the office of State's Attor-
ney, 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 ac-
tion 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 com-
piled frommpunblic records.
‘There are given some excerpts from
letters penned by people whose stand-
ing in the community is an assurance
of non-partisan, unbiased, truthful ex-
pression 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 Attor-
ney to his client—the People—and to
ask the co-operation of all law-abid-
ing, decent, God-fearing persons to the
end that this year may witness a
marked advance in those things so re-
quisite and necessary to the happiness
and prosperity of all of us.

Duds for Spring
and Winter Wear
Lighter Weight Trappings
Are Demanding Milady’s
‘Attention.
these, writes a fashion correspondent
in the New York Times, are the sum-
mery frocks and trappings for the
Southern seashore—bathing suits, sun-
shades, frilly muslin frocks and flow-
ery hats. Just around the corner
from his touch of ‘spring are. the
gorgeous fur wraps, the heavy wi
sport suits and overcoats with bushy
fur collars, and all the things that go
with sleds and skates, snowshoes and
hockey sticks:
An exhibit always interesting to
womanhood is the lingerie. Front win-
dows and whole cases are given over
te it, and within, counters are piled
with a stock of new and beautiful
things in all the colors of the rainbow
and a rreat many more.
By the old-time standards, no wom-
an of refinement wore anything but
white lingerie, and that of cotton or
cotton or linen. The annual or semi
annual “occasion” was announced as
a “white” sale. But the new idea is
quite otherwise as to both fabric and
color. White is the exception, and
the fine linen Inwns and sheer batiste
are largely worn by the woman of
old-fashioned oF at least thoroughly
conservative taste.
Muslin lingerie, except only the ex-
quisitply embroidered and tace-trimmed
undergarments of the most delicate
quality, has a homespun, almost
Plebelan look, It must be admitted,
and certainly the younger generation
will have none of It. For them are
the gossamer chiffons and georgettes,
the clinging crepes and satins, and In
almost every shade but white.
In the lovely nightgowns, pajamas,
chemises, “step-ins” and shirts there
Is never a hint of warmth. They are
for beauty and the delicious feeling
that comes In the contact with soft,
fine materials, though some of the
crepes and satins are washable and
practical and are of longer life than
the white garments that stand the
tests of bleach and starch.
The actual goods of which today's
lingerie is fashioned are crepe de
chine, wash satin, pussy willow, geor-
gette, crepe chiffon and chiffon, Some
extravagances, of course, appear to
gratify the fancy of those so minded;
for example, gayly colored satins print-
ed in Oriental and batik patterns.
But these are the freak features that
usually are presented in contrast to
the conventional article. ‘Thelr very
unloveliness is the most effective ar-
gument against she popularity of these
extreme styles,
Winsome Colors Are Shown.
A palette of all the most enchant-
ing colors known Is suggested in the
Mngerie one finds piled in order in
the tables in the best shops. It is no
longer a matter of pink, blue, yellow
or white, for these have been shaded
in many degrees, and countless other
colors, poetic and lovely, have been
added. Nightgowns In orchid, jade,
coral, rose, peach, apricot, hydrangea,
hyacinth, Iflac, lavender, pearl, oyster
and ivory are matched in the other
garments to form complete sets. In
the deeper shades these are duplicat-
ed—purple, emerald, orange, flame,
gendarme blue, and some of the most
bizarre in black-and-white or all black.
In other words, lingerie in the pres-
ent mode is no longer a secondary
matter In the toflet, but is one of its
most important features. The style
of trimming the newest things Is or-
dinarily simple, and.of necessity, like
the things themselves, dainty and fine.
‘The materials are so sheer and soft
that little more !s required than a
trimming of lace about the neck and
armholes—in lieu of sleeves—with,
perhaps, entre deaux in the front, But
this is invariably of the finest lace,
Trish, filet or valenciennes.
Exceptional sets of lingerie are
much more elaberate, with lace in-
serted to the waist, alternating with
strips of the finest needlework on the
material, and here and there a tiny
nosegay of silk flowers. One gown of
this description shown In an exclusive
Ungerte shop is made of peach-colored
georgette. At the decollete neck is
a rather deep yoke of pointe applique
lace, long strips of which are insert.
ed horizontally to a point below the
waistline. Alternating with the lace
is a delicate trailing design of needle-
work, and lace finishes the armholes
and the bottom of the gown, which is
cut in deep scallops, ‘The front of the
gown, skirt length, ts tald in tiny
Dlaits, and at the sides of the lower
Dart is gathered to the blouse, as in
& dress. This is one of the types of
robes-de-nuit which might easily be
mistaken for an elaborate negligee or
tea gown,
‘More radical than the new fashions
in fabric and color is the cut of the

Hon James Hale Porter, who ranks among the few members of his race for rendering uniring services for the uplift and betterment of his race, deserves the support of every voter of the First Congressional District at the primary election, April 8th, for a Johnson delegate to the Republican National Convention.

CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS AT LAST PULLED OUT FROM FLORIDA, ON HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON, D. C.
St. Augustine, Florida—Man can make engagements, but he cannot always carry them out, for there is another power which must have the final saying, and this has been demonstrated in my case exactly last week. I went to Louisiana and had in mind to spend last Sunday in the city, but, believe me, honey, then bugs got behind me and it was necessary for me to return to this place after having two doctors. You see, the bugs have not given me up yet, but are fighting hard to get this old frame of mine, and while I have been trying to get back at them, they will not give up. I have told you from time to time how Dr. George Cleveland Hall has fought them and he is still willing to wage the fight, yet now and then they will try again. Let the good work go on.
This time I had Dr. M. C. Gaines of New Orleans. When they were conspiring inside to do their dirty work, I called in Dr. Gaines and he put his tube to his ears, listened at what they were saying, and told me to take the medicine that Dr. Hall had given me, and told me to be careful as to what doctor I had, for all doctors could not understand them heart bugs, and perhaps would make a mistake. He spoke in high terms of Dr. Hall, and I was glad to hear him do so. Dr. Gaines, as I have told you before, is some doctor. Then while in Shreveport that other fellow tried himself, that is to say, the head bugs began to want a whack at me, and when I got to Beaumont, I telephoned over the speaking tube to Dr. T. V. Overton and he sent me some head medicine to combat them, but I could not use it, hence, when I got back to New Orleans I got in touch with another physician and he is fine, Dr. B. F. Easter, who has behind his name physician and surgeon and is in charge of the work for the Pythians of the state. He is a great man and he came to me at the home of Dr. B. G. Dawson, put that head bug fighter in my arms and them fellows have been going since. They are running to get out of the way.
Perhaps you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing, for that other letter was from Leland College, Baker, Louisiana, and I have left there, as you can see. I came in, had dinner with Rev. H. R. Baranco, and he is not a preacher, but a layman, and his state has put him out for the position of secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. He is a fine fellow, and would make a good secretary. Then found me headed for New Orleans. The old iron horse was late, but he got me in the city just the same, and at the stable I met Miss Enola E. Porche, one of the teachers of the city and a worker. She was on her way to spend what they call a week-end in Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, and her former home. She is one of the finest young women, and a scholar, but she is not educated away from her people, but closer to them. She shook my lily black hand. While she was away, I had the pleasure of going to her home, meeting her sister and her brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, and I met the other sister, Miss Grace Porche, who is to graduate this year from New Orleans College, a fine young woman, and then I met the mother, who is indeed a fine woman. The night was spent at the home of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Gaines, and after getting around some the next morning, I left over the Texas & Pacific for Donaldsonville, where Rev. W. H. Reed met me with his automobile car carriage and toted me to his home about six miles in the country. Did you ever go to the country? It is a fine thing to do. The people out in the country will make a big fuss over you and make you feel like you are somebody. I tell you I just was in it for a, while—in fact, I was the IT myself. If I never get to be again I have been once.
Rev. W. H. Reed and his wife are both products of Leland University when it was in New Orleans. They were there when Miss Elvie L. Washington was in her bloom and school days, and they were all friends. They got out of school, married and one remained in Louisiana and the other went to Texas. It was the woman who went to Texas and remained in Waco, but honey, her husband died, after so many years, and then Mrs. Reed died, and these two met, the old fire was kindled and they married and
are happy. He is pastor of the church and principal of the parish school. Associated with him are three other teachers. All vied with each other in making me have a big time and Miss Hazel P. Williams came over on Sunday and added to the entertainment. They certainly have a fine church, and good school out there in the country, and good work is being done.
Monday afternoon found me in that automobile car carriage getting away and believe me, I got away, stopping at Alexandria, La, as the guest of the Rev. Dr. J. R. Campbell, president of Lampton College, and a candidate for two places, the first one being the bishopric and the other place I will tell you later. He was there in great shape and toted me in his automobile car carriage to the school, where he had prepared for me a dinner, with pork chops and some other things which I could not eat. But later he got some fish and we went fishing. He talked and talked. He told me about his plans as a bishop and they are all good, and now it is up to God or some human to convince the general conference that he is the man for the bench. He is blessed with a fine wife, who is ever by his side, rendering all the service possible for the people. She is a fine musician, also.
I did not remain all night, because I wanted to make Shreveport, for it was necessary for me to see if I could help to locate Dr. Griffin, a leading physician, who had been called out and disappeared. His hat and automobile carriage were located, but he was not there. There were many rumors about him. Some said that the K. K. K. people had him, but they had not. Do not fret, he is yet alive, and will be for some time to come. He has just learned a real lesson. He will be contented to eat crackling bread in the future. I was glad to see the wonderful improvements being made by our people.
I think I had the pleasure of going into the first building of its kind erected in the world, the Calanthean Temple. I know we have all over the country Pythian temples, Masonic temples, but I believe this is the first building in the world erected by a female fraternal order, and it is due to the wonderful training of Mrs. Cora Allen, the grand worthy counsellor, which position she has held for about a quarter of a century, and she has well organized the women and you will get an idea when I tell you the beautiful four-story building cost two hundred thousand dollars when finished and furnished. She will go down in history as one of the women of this race who believed in doing and she has erected a monument for herself. She is the wife of Rev. Luke Allen, D. D., a leading Baptist preacher and worker for the Master.
I made a trip to Texarkana, spent the night there, then to Baumont, Texas, as I have indicated before, and then back to New Orleans, and, not feeling well, I beat it to this place. I am here and being treated by Dr. Guy, but will get out as soon as possible.
I am just in receipt of a piece of music, "The Chief Corner Stone," turned out by the Corinthian Music Company, and the work of Hermmes Zimmerman of Evanston, $\llbracket$I$, a young composer of this race of ours. It is a wonderful piece of music, and so well has been its success that the week of April 20 it is to be sung in our churches and schools all over the country. It is a Negro spiritual song and is a hit. I am proud of the young man, and I hope that those who have not gotten a copy will do so. We must make men and women today. It is up to us to take hold of them when they produce something worth the while. We have had great musicians, singers and composers, but most of them are dead, but we must not stop. Let us all encourage this young man. I will do my part.
It is about time for me to bring this letter to a stop. I have many more things to say to you. I cannot tell it all now. I just listen for the rest.
The National Race Congress is called to meet in Washington, D. C. April 29. I told you I would let you know as soon as I got hold of the date. It is going to be a great meeting, and our people are going to be there in large numbers. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president, is now in Florida. There will be a good delegation from Florida. There are many things to be discussed. You know this is the year to elect a president for the United States and you must get in the game. We must help to elect the next president so we will have some claim. The Democrats are going to try to defeat President Coolidge, and some of our senators because they confirmed Walter Cohen. Let us meet the ballot with ballot. It is up to us to do this thing.
God bless you. *

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.

Judge Jonas ranks among the best friends of the Colored race in Chicago. He received 1,800 votes at the late Primary of the Chicago Bar Association and he was the third candidate from the top of the list, which means his renomination.
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. On December 1st of last year, he resigned his position as a public prosecutor in order to accept the high office of Judge

of the Municipal Court, which place he now occupies.
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 commending 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.

HON. J. KENT GREENE Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court
NOW SEE WHAT A 19TH AMENDMENT DID FOR AFRICA
Paris.—A strange story of the wild women of the Sahara, who rule the men of the desert tribes by caveman methods with heavy clubs, is revealed in an official report of Capt. Rottier of the French colonial infantry, who has been inspecting the region. The desert women, who have completely subjugated their husbands, belong to the Kenouri and Troubbeis tribes.
The Kenouri women are tall, husky amazons, clothed in baggy trousers, who always carry clubs, which they freely apply to their husbands and other men of the tribe if they show the slightest unwillingness to perform menial tasks of the household. The women love to fight, and when not beating their husbands they stage free-for-all fights with other women, while their awed and trembling mates gather around and watch. The women refuse to eat with their husbands, taking the choicest food before the men are served.
The Troubbes women pursue similar methods in dominating their men. The tribes are particularly noted for their divorces, many leading women warriors having been married twenty times, including frequent remarriages. (Those sisters over there in Africa are all right and it would be a good idea if some of them would blow over into this country and straighten the men out—Editor.)
HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS
Republican Candidate for Re-Nomina tion for Recorder of Deeds of Cook County
On Tuesday, April 8, for the second time the people will have the right to vote for the re-nomination of Hon. Joseph F. Haas for Recorder of Deeds of Cook county, whose fair and honorable name has become a household word throughout this city, county and throughout the state of Illinois, was born in Chicago, November 13, 1857, and was educated in the public schools of this city. He was employed by Jameson & Morse Printing Co. in 1873-1874, he entered the employ of J. S. Barnes & Co., hatters and furriers, as errand boy and became a partner in 1890. He continued in business until elected clerk of the Sanitary District of Chicago in 1898. He resigned on June 11, 1900, on account of the illness of his partner.
Mr. Haas was elected State Senator from the twenty-fifth senatorial district in 1902-1906. As State Senator he introduced and was instrumental in passing many important measures. He was chairman of the Chicago Charter Committee of the forty-fourth general assembly.
Among the important bills which he introduced and are now laws were the bills creating the Municipal Courts of Chicago, which abolished the old police justice system; the bill creating forest preserves, which is making possible the conservation of the woodlands in the country for public parks systems, and several other bills giving to the park boards the power to maintain and govern the parks and boulevards under their control; a bill fixing the date limit on time which persons could sue a municipality for personal injuries, a law which has saved Chicago and other cities hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Haas also voted for amendments to the Torrens system, which has broadened its scope.
He was elected County Clerk in 1906 and conducted the business of that office in an efficient manner.
The Recorder is the official custodian of all the records affecting the title of every piece of property in this county. He conducts a big business, requiring the attention of a man of great ability and business experience. Mr. Haas is a member of many fraternal societies and other organizations. Chief among them are Maplewood Council No. 1024, Royal Arcanum; ffi Enterprise Council No. 50, Royal League; Kilwining Lodge No. 411, A.F. & A.M. For more than thirty years the people residing in this city have known Mr. Haas as a high class business man.
To the undyinging or to the everlasting credit of Mr. Haas, it must be said that he employs more colored clerks and stenographers in the County Recorder's office than all of his predecessors combined. For several years past well onto 64 colored clerks and stenographers have been steadily employed in his office and they are scattered throughout all of its departments and occupy seats or desks where any one will not experience any trouble in beholding them.
All things being fair in War and in Love Mr. Haas is Justly entitled to receive the bulk of the colored vote in this city and county Tuesday, April 8.

Judge Greene was born at Dayton, O., on June 9, 1870. His great-grandfather was a cousin of General Nathaniel Greene, on the staff of General George Washington, and served in the Revolutionary war against Great Britain.
Others of his ancestors, both paternal and maternal, fought for the American cause in that war.
Mr. Greene's father came to Illinois in 1829, at the age of 12 years, and shortly after his arrival became the boss of a gang of 100 men working on the Illinois and Michigan Canal, for the digging of a section of which his father had a contract. This very young superintendent got his early education while off duty at nights from the bookkeeper employed on the canal work.
In his boyhood Mr. Greene longed to be somebody and he strove very hard to come into the possession of a first-class education for even at that tender age he seemed to fully realize that knowledge is power all the time.
For years he went to the common school during the three months' winter term, going to work often before school hours in the morning and back to work at the adjournment of school in the afternoon. The other nine months of each year were devoted to work in the mill or on the farm, evenings and very early mornings being occupied with study.
This continued through the common school course. High school was at Ottawa, four miles from home, and being in another township, tuition had to be paid, making it necessary when a term was entered upon to complete the term without interruption. But these terms were taken at irregular intervale. After two years of actual attendance, not only the four years' regular course had been completed, but in addition thereto such extra courses had been taken that with the two years' attendance school credits were given for five and two-thirds years' work, and during a large part of that time he was walking eight miles per day to and from school.
A two years' course of study in law was taken in a law office in Ottawa, the arrangement adhered to throughout the two years being that one day should be devoted to manual work at Ottawa, and throughout the two years he walked eight miles each day he went to his studies. At the end of the two years he passed his examination for admission to the bar before the Appellate Court, then situated at Ottawa, but was refused his license because his application showed that he was only nineteen years old. During those two years he took extra courses in Latin in high school.
Mr. Greene wended his way to this great city in 1890 and took a course at Northwestern University Law School, graduating with the class of which Hon. Harry Olson, afterwards Chief Justice of the Municipal Court, and Judge Kenesaw M. Landis were members. On graduation he received the first prize for the best thesis on a question of practical law. His license to practice law, signed by the Judges of the Supreme Court several months before he became of age, was retained by the clerk of the court until his

Republican Candidate for the Nomination for State's Attorney of Cook County is one of the Best Judges of the Municipal Court
From 1885 down to the present time Hon. George B. Holmes has resided in this great city and during all of those years he has been actively interested in every thing or movement pertaining to its advancement.
He was admitted to the bar in 1890 and practiced continuously until elected to the bench.
He was given first place in the Bar Primary both times he was elected.
He served with distinction as a member of the 1st III.Vol.Infinity at the siege and capture of Santiago de Cuba in 1898.
He is a member of United Spanish
21st birthday, the day it bears date, and then was delivered to him. While in law school he earned his way working as a clerk in a law office in Chicago.
After receiving his degree in law, and while engaged in the practice of law, Mr. Greene took courses as he found time, covering a period of several years, at the University of Chicago, doing major work in the foreign languages, in several of which he has become proficient. He speaks Greek and French fluently. He is the secretary and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alliance Francise of Chicago, associates with the Greeks of this city and often addresses their gatherings in their native tongue. He is very proud of the fact that he is thoroughly a Philhellene. The University of Chicago Press is now publishing his work, "The Inverse Order System of Foreign Language Study," in French. The same in Greek will be ready for the press in a very short time. He contends that the read educational value of the acquisition of any foreign language lies almost wholly in the ability to speak and write it in original thought even the ancient languages; that a speaking knowledge is much easier to acquire and that all the present methods of study are practically useless as tending to dissipation of energy and mental slowness.
Mr. Greene was engaged in the general practice of law from 1891 to 1906, when Mr. John J. Healy, then state's attorney of Cook County, asked him to take charge of the indictment department of that office. He continued in that very technical work, trying jury cases on behalf of the State between sessions of grand juries until Chief Justice Harry Olson invited him to become his legal assistant in the Municipal Court. That position he has occupied thirteen years. His work in the Municipal Court kept him closely in touch with the managerial part of the court's functions, and has made him particularly expert in the law of procedure. He has drawn a number of laws that are now on the statue books, amending the Criminal Code, the practice Code and laws that make with the Municipal Court in working for social betterment. He has attended every session of the Illinois Legislature in Springfield while connected for better legislation.
Mr. Greent was married in 1895. He and Mrs. Greene have lived in Ravenswood ever since their marriage. They have one daughter, Miss Marjorie, who is a graduate from Northwestern University. Mrs. Greene is a leader in philanthropic and social service work in the Methodist Church of which they are members. For several years she has been president of the Northern District of the Home Missionary Society of that church.
Mr. Greene is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Ravenswood M. E. Church, Ravenswood Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Columbia Chapter, R. A. M., Illinois and Medina Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S.; also of the Hamilton Club, serving on important committees; Sons of the American Revolution, at one time a member of its Board of Directors; Alliance France, Secretary and member of its Board of Directors. During the war he took active part in war activities. He resides at 4421 N. Paulina street Judge Greene at the Chicago Bar Association primary held this week, occupies the sixth place of honor receiving 1,539 votes and as he has always been unfincling in his friendship for the colored people he should receive all of their votes on Tuesday, April 8th, for one of the judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago.

Kathryn H. Rutherford is one of the best and most well known women of the white race of Chicago. She has always taken an active interest in all forward movements. She worked very hard for the election of the Hon. William Hale Thompson for Mayor in 1915. Being a great admirer of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt, she came near storming the National Republican Convention in 1912 and bringing about his nomination for President of the United States. At the present time she is the Republican candidate for State Representative from the 13th Senatorial District of Illinois.
Any one can vote for her three times on Tuesday, April 8, by placing an before her name. She has always been noted for her friendship for the colored race and all the colored people residing in that senatorial district should vote for her on Tuesday, April 8th.
RENOMINATE HON. OSCAR
WOLFF FOR CORONER OF
COOK COUNTY
On Tuesday, April 8, you will be called upon to fulfill your obligation as useful citizens of the community by exercising your right of suffrage in the matter of determining who the regular Republican candidates shall be at the general election in November.
This is an all-important duty and every voter should devote his or her undivided attention at this time to the matter of determining which aspirant for office is best fitted to perform the duties that will be required of him if elected, and to assist in every possible way to nominate him at the primaries in order that you may vote for him at the election in November.
For the office of coroner, one of the most important of the county offices, Hon. Oscar Wolff is a candidate for renomination and election.
No man in public office, in the course of performing the duties required of him, comes in closer contact with the people of the county than the coroner, and this at a time when the father or mother, sister or brother, husband or wife are mourning the loss by death of the one or ones most dear to them. Death is no respecter of persons. A careless chauffeur or motorman, negligent gateman, murderous bandit or moron, any one of hundreds of reasons, may be the means of suddenly depriving young and innocent children of the much-needed support of the hardworking father or mother. At this time the coroner steps in to determine who is responsible and also protect the interests of those left behind to fight life's battles alone.
Do you know that nearly a hundred more reckless drivers than ever before have been held to the grand jury last year in this county to answer to a jury of their peers for the useless sacrifice of human life?
Do you know that Coroner Wolff has tried to have a law enacted by the Legislature at Springfield licensing all drivers of motor vehicles and only after thorough examination as to their competency and fitness to drive; that this last has been approved by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois Automobile Club and far-sighted automobile clubs everywhere, over a thousand ministers of the gospel, and many other associations and clubs too numerous to mention here, but the bill was killed in committee at Springfield by powerful interests who do not want restrictions placed upon wealthy but otherwise unfit users of automobiles on our streets?
Do you know that the unrelenting campaign waged by Coroner Wolff against reckless and drunken drivers of motor vehicles has actually decreased the number of deaths from this cause last year, and this in spite of our growing population and increasing number of automobiles on our streets?
Actions speak louder than words. The World War veterans have handed Coroner Wolff an unsolicited endorsement for re-election because of his interest in their welfare and substantial assistance rendered in the past; the South Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly likewise have endorsed him, stating 'Labor in your own ward still remembers your substantial aid to the recent railroad workers who were out on strike for better working conditions."
Renominate and re-elect Hon. Oscar Wolff coroner and show to Chicago and Cook county that our people appreciate conscientious service and are not unmindful or ungrateful for worth while deeds and sincere effort to better conditions for all.
Vote for Oscar Wolff at the primaries Tuesday, April 8.

"SIDELIGHTS ON NEGRO SOLDIERS"
Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
By Charles H. Williams. Published by The B. J. Brimmer Co., 79 Myrtle St., Boston, 14 Mass. Price $3.00. Postage 10c.
Newton G. Baker, former Secretary of War, writes to Mr. Williams: "I am glad your frank narrative has been written. Of course, it shows the presence of the race question and of some of the prejudices and discriminations which grew out of it, but it also shows performance of high duty by the Negroes of America."
This is an excellent summing up of the volume. The story of high performance is most valuable, but the story of race discrimination is what makes the book interesting. The discrimination began with the draft and has not ended yet. Negro veterans are still discriminated against and segregated and forced to suffer humiliation. That they made as good a showing in the war as they did is most creditable since they had two enemies, the Germans and race prejudice in the army.
One wonders when one reads these "Sidelights" what would have happened if Theodore Roosevelt, the man of intense democratic convictions, had been in the Presidential chair when we went into the Great War, instead of the Southern aristocrat, Woodrow Wilson. Colonel Young would have been alive and a general now, and we should have many more Negro officers, and, above all, the same national enthusiasm in the hearts of the colored man as when they went out to fight. But the commander-in-chief of the army was a man who stood for segregation of the races, hence we have much that is heartbreaking in this volume. First the Negroes were

tion for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, in speaking of his candidacy cites an interesting and convincing record of efficiency in public office. In general practice during the last eighteen years and as an Assistant State's Attorney under two administrations he has handled more than 12,000 cases, many of which attracted great interest with the general public. In summing up his talk in reference to his experience and qualifications for office of Judge of the Municipal Court he cites several interesting reports of Grand Juries that have worked with him, of which the following are typical:
The Cook County Grand Jury enpanelled for October Term, 1922, reported to the Chief Justice as follows: "We desire to record our appreciation of the faithful service of Assistant State's Attorney Roy Fairbank who was in constant attendance in the Grand Jury room and who worked ably and unitingly to facilitate our task. His work in the trial of the cases he has brought before us has made a deep impression upon the members of the jury and they wish him to know that every man is his friend and hope for him the highest reward in his profession."
The Grand Jury sworn in for the November Term, 1922, reported the following to the Chief Justice.
"Mr, LeRoy Fairbank, Assistant State's Attorney in charge of the
---
not allowed to fight. Three-quarters of them were in non-combative service. There were forty-six engineer battalions and forty-two were made up of Negroes. At Brest these stevedores handled all supplies, working sixteen hours at a stretch. "Though they worked in the rain and snow, it was only after months had passed that they were provided with oilskin suits and gum boots. Many broke their heartstrings in the 'race to Berlin.'" Some were too illiterate to do other service, but others were able youths quite fit to be on the battle line.
The fourth that were trained as soldiers suffered much. We hear again of the Ninety-second and the Ninety-third Divisions, of the kindly attitude of the French and of the diabolical desire to discredit the Negro officer on the part of the Southern American. We learn of the social welfare agencies, their good and their bad points. One Y story I had not remembered hearing: "A white sentry, gun on shoulder, guards a white prayer meeting so that no Negro soldier may enter." There is the tale of the Red Cross discrimination, its determination to keep colored nurses from going overseas. But the book is not all discrimination. It has many tributes to the Americans who honestly believed in democracy and it is written in a spirit of fairness. "The kind of treatment accorded to the men," Mr. Williams writes, "was due almost entirely to the attitude of the officers who immediately commanded them." In some organizations commanding officers were like overseers over railway gangs and again there would be a splendid man like Colonel Ham, whose attitude changed the spirit of both officers and men and made racial antagonism give to comradeship. This was said of the stevedores, but it was true of all the army. And it is quite as true in times of peace as in times of war.
Grand Jury, has tried all the cases presented to this body and the jury are impressed with his fairness of mind and ability and desire to thank
him for his courteous treatment of the members of this body."
The January, 1923, Grand Jury adopted and presented to the Chief Justice an exhaustive report on crime and vice conditions concluding as follows:
"And in closing we wish to compliment Assistant State's Attorney Le Roy Fairbank on account of the ability and professional conduct exhibited by him during the course of this inquiry."
Another typical report was made by the January, 1924, Grand Jury and presented to the Chief Justice by the foreman, John H. Winterbotham, recites:
"Assistant State's Attorney Freeman LeRoy Fairbank has been unfairly courteous, considerate and diligent and has shown marked ability in his handling of cases and questioning of witnesses."
Mr. Fairbank resides with his wife and three children at 11423 Longwood drive, in the 19th Ward, and is well known in the community. In general practice he was associated with Hon. John E. Northup, well known trial lawyer, and the Hon. Victor P. Arnold, now Judge of the Juvenile Court, and should be nominated and elected Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, on account of his high standing as a lawyer of ability and as a public official with a record showing honesty, industry and ability.

MISS ELEANORA MORMON
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 retoring the item or the appropriation to one hundred and six votes in oppo- 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:
"Fought agains' experting and extravagances," Chicago Tribune. "His record has been of high quality." "At times he stood almost alone in battling for the tax payers and for decency in the handling of Municipal affairs," Daily News. "Man of high character and excellent record," Municipal Voters' League.
Remember his name is third on the official ballot.

sition to restoring the item or appropriation.
The Congressional Record of March 13, contains a full account of the running 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

Bright Colors to Be Much in Favor
The smart woman can never escape the temptation to buy clothes, declares a fashion correspondent. It meets her everywhere. She leaves for a winter holiday with trunks full of enchanting things with which she plans to fascinate mankind. She no more than arrives until she is further tantalized by new offerings which make her feel as if the dresses and hats that still remain in their uncrumpled tissue paper wrappings are passe. Thus on the constant struggle to be the smartest of the smart.
Among the novelties for spring are bright-colored velvetts. They are being charmingly used for straight chemise smocks to wear over skirts of matching or contrasting fabrics. Frequently these dresses are trimmed with bands of flat fur, notably caracul. Bright green velvet and a deep blush hunter's shade are often used, with trimmings of black fur in the form of elbow cuffs and choker collars.
Beautifully printed or embroidered fabrics in two-tone or two-color combinations are now prominent, as are Vionnet's new printed velvets, Oriental in colorings and designs. Models made from these fabrics are cut in straight coat effect, lapping widely in manteau fashion. Channel shows a great many models of highly-colored prints in Oriental designs. These are reminiscent of the magnificent brocades of the Louis XV period, but stronger in their colors.
Isn't it a Fact?
Great men do not often recognize each other's greatness. Shakespeare never wrote a word of praise of any contemnary.
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 downtrodden humanity!
Use Novelties to Enhance Costume
Cameos are among the jewels that were in fashion years ago and are being revived. Cameo brooches and buckles have been worn lately by women who have a fondness for the quaint in their toilet, and now long earrings having a cameo set in the drop are shown in smart shops. In brown and white, myrtle green and white and, more especially, black and white, oblong in shape, they are very attractive, says a fashion writer in the New York Times.
Matching the earrings are the old-style bracelets which some fashionable women are wearing. They are the genuine article—a row of cameo medallions, each framed in gold, linked together and fastened close with a snap clasp. Not every woman can becomingly wear these antique ornaments, and they are not suitable with any and every sort of gown. But with the "perlod" dresses so much in vogue at the moment, with the wide skirt and the tight basque, and with the handsome broaches, flowered and wide striped sils, they are charming. A number of the young women of the smart set have brought from their grandmother's treasure box these cameo bracelets and the pliable gold bands worn close to the hand in olden times, and are wearing them with fuffy dancing frocks and bountiful afternoon gowns.
New things among the pretty baules are beautiful necklaces in semi-precious stones and beads. One sees jade everywhere. Whole necklaces formed of pieces of jade joined by a gold or silver chain, with a pendant, are quite the rage, and are most effective.
Other necklaces that are going very well are of carnelian beads, rather large. An absolute novelty is a string of gunmetal beads of graduated size, resembling black pearls. These are swagger and go stunningly with the black satin gowns so popular for daytime, and with black and white, now the last word in smartness in costume combination.
A pretty necklace that will be seized upon by the woman who is not superstitious is of small, round, whole opals. It fastens with a small platinum clasp set with tiny diamonds.
Amber apparently grows in favor, and the latest necklaces are very long and the beads large, sometimes enormous, and their weight is something to be considered. The amber-colored glass beads, bright in the cutting, are much worn. The craze for kid is evident in even the accessories of fashionable dress, and a lot of fetching little articles are shown, particularly in white kid.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly dimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful show.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equiv. It is the beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the

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."
