The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA The K. K. K. Seemingly Has Divided the Democratic Party Into Two Bitter and Warring Factions. Religious Questions or Religion Should Not Be Mixed Up With Politics, Nor With the Affairs of State. THE GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN HON. WILLIAM GIBBS McADOO AND GOVERNOR ALFRED SMITH IS STILL ON IN THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AS THIS NEWSPAPER WENT TO PRESS LATE ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. ON THE FORTIETH BALLOT McADOO HAS 505 1-2 VOTES, SMITH 317 1-2, WITH LITTLE HOPES THAT EITHER ONE OF THEM WOULD BE NOMINATED. It was stated in these columns June 21 that there would be a knocking down and dragging out time at the convening of the Democratic National Convention which started to hold forth in New York City, June 24. At the convening of the history-making convention no one ever dreamed that it would be transformed into a mad house for almost two weeks, where some of the most eminent men in this country lost their reason and conducted themselves like brutish beasts or made men. There is no disposition on our part to heave any brickbats at any one but we honestly feel that a grave mistake was made when it was decided to introduce and pass the resolution which had for its bitter object the condemning of the hateful K, K, K.'s, which roused up or woke up all the religious bitterness that has been stired up in this country in the past by attempting to pass that unwise resolution at that time men who had been fast friends for 30 and 40 years became deadly enemies and were ready to clutch each other by throats while fighting and contending for their religion or their firm set religious ideas. At no stage of the political game in this country should there be made the slightest attempt to drag the Roman Catholic Church, the Old Mother Church, or any other church into politics, for the forefathers of this country many of them being devoted Rocan Catholics, forever decreed that there must always be a distinct line of THE DEAR SWEET LADIES ARE ENDEAVORING TO DISROBE THEMSELVES RIGHT IN BROAD DAY LIGHT Paris, France.—"The Three Graces," a trio of beautiful mannequins clad in ancient Greek costumes representing the spirit of the Olympic games, were the sensation of the Auteuil race track here last Saturday for the season's most fashionable event—the prix des drags. On this occasion society goes to the Bois de Boulogue in six horse coaches with footmen tooting long horns and beautiful women holding the reins.

The raising of the K. K. K. issue and the religious issue in the convention has undoubtedly divided the Democratic party into bitter hostile and warring factions, and many years may pass away before they will be able to re-unite and present a bold fighting front to the enemy—the Republican party. As long as this great nation stands, the people will be indebted to Col. William Jennings Bryan, who is the greatest living American statesman today for pouring enough of oil on the troubled political waters to prevent his fellow Democrats on Saturday evening, June 28, from transforming the beautiful Madison Square Gardens into a human slaughter house where hundreds of the delegates and others would have been murdered in cold blood on account of their narrow minded religious views; as it was well and soundly said by Col. Bryan in his masterful oration on that fateful Saturday evening that "a man's religious views should not be his only qualification for president of the United States." The deadlock is still on and no one at this time can tell what the final result will be between Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo and Governor Alfred Smith. The hot weather and burning sunshine tempted the women to wear scant costumes. Betray Every Line Underwear and corset manufacturers threw up their hands in despair when the translucent gowns revealed the fact that the women were wearing nothing except slip gowns, chemises, stockings, slippers and hats. The startling new robes molded themselves over the figures as though they were painted on, betraying every line and curve. The Olympic trio of girls wore sandals with their bare heels and toes rouged, no stockings and white floating tunics draped over one shoulder, leaving the other bare. They also wore wreaths of olive twigs fastened in their bobbed hair which required the greatest ability to keep in place.

PHILADELPHIA MEET Philadelphia, June 30.—With delegates in attendance from more than 30 states, including Georgia, Oklahoma, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina, and most of the Eastern States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened its 15th Annual Conference in Philadelphia with a mass meeting in the First African Methodist Church at which the outstanding features were addresses by Moorfield Storey, National President of the Association, and Congressman L. C. Dyer. At this meeting too, a greeting was read from President Coolidge expressing "my good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purposes." Welcome to the Conference in behalf of the City of Philadelphia was extended by Charles Hall, President of the City Council and by Isadore Martin, President of the Philadelphia Branch, N.A.A.C.P. Mr. Hall took occasion during his address of welcome to deliver a vigorous denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan for which he said there was no place in America. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 5, 1924 HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN Bishop John Hurst, presiding officer at the opening mass meeting, charged that Southern sentiment was dominating the Nation despite Northern victory in the Civil War, and asserted that the time had come for Negroes to stand together and make common cause for their rights. Mr. Storey in his address, reviewed the growth of the N.A.A.C.P. from a small committee to a membership of 100,000, and asserted that it rested with colored people whether the campaign for their full citizenship rights was to be carried victoriously onward by the N.A.A.C.P. Commenting upon President Coolidge's message of greeting to the N.A.A.C.P., Mr. Storey said: "There is a very simple way of testing President Coolidge's wishes for the realization of our high aims. Let us test the President in the matter of segregation in the government departments in Washington. It began under President Wilson. It can end under Coolidge." Representative Dyer in a fiery attack upon "the most cowardly Republican Senators who have ever been in office" urged colored voters to vote upon the basis of present issues, not the Civil War. He asserted that not by the action of a Republican but through the efforts of a member of the Farmer-Labor Party the case of Walter Cohen had been reconsidered and Mr. Cohen confirmed as Customs Collector at the Port of New Orleans. He charged Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania with giving more attention to the world court than to his colored constituents and denounced the Ku Klux Klan. "I will not vote for or support," said Mr. Dyer, "for any office, anyone who is a member of or countenances the Ku Klux Klan. If I lived in Indiana, I would not vote for the Republican candidate for Governor because he owes his nomination to the Klan." Spingarn' Medal to Roland Hayes The Spingarn Medal, it was announced at the N.A.A.C.P. Conference, goes this year to the greatest singer of his race, Roland Hayes, now triumphantly touring European cities. In Mr. Hayes' absence, it was arranged to have the medal presented by Provost Josiah H. Penniman of the University of Pennsylvania, to a representative of Mr. Hayes. The Committee making the award consists of Bishop John Hurst, Chairman; Dorothy Canfield Fisher, author of "The Bent Twig," etc.; James H. Dillard, Director of the Janes and Slater Funds; John Hope, President of Morehouse College; Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Editor of The Crisis. Roland Hayes, to whom the Spingarn Medal goes, has achieved unique distinctions, having been hailed by leading critics in Europe and America as one of the greatest of living artists of any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Curryville, Georgia. Hayes was working as a stove molder when his voice was discovered by Mr. Calhoun a colored singer, who urged him to study and gave him his first instruction. Roland Hayes worked his way through Fiske University, coming North with the Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained to study in Boston, where he gave his first recital in Jordan Hall in 1912. Since then he has toured the countries of Europe as well as the United States, achieving new triumphs at each appearance. In April of 1921, he was accorded the honor of being commanded to sing before the King MRS. NORA DOUGLAS HOLT (MRS. JOSEPH L. RAY), IT IS RUMORED, HAS LEFT HER HUSBAND, MR. JOSEPH LUTHER RAY—DASHING WIFE OF WEALTHY "JOE" RAY SAYS BETHLEHEM IS "TOO SMALL." ALLEGED. New York City.—Rumor has it that the matrimonial bark of Mr. Joseph L. Ray and his dashing wife, the former Mrs. Nora Douglas Holt of Chicago, has wrecked 'mid turbulent waters. The news leaked out when Mrs., Holt Ray with her elaborate wardrobe and many costly jewels came to New York and took rooms in the apartment of Mrs. Carolyn Wilkins, widow of the late Barron D. Wilkins, at 198 W. 134th St. Mrs. Ray, it is said left her luxurious "love cottage" in Bethlehem, Pa., against the wishes of her husband, who is confidante to Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate. Bethlehem is "too small" for the social ambitions of the popular matron, it is said, and when she proposed that her husband maintain a New York apartment for her where he might come and spend the week-end he flatly refused—Mrs. Ray left! It is alleged that Mr. Ray told his fair spouse that if she left him at Bethlehem she would be "no more Mrs. Ray." However, Mrs. Ray is in little old New York settled comfortably with Mrs. Wilkins, sharing the latter's maid and occupying two rooms. Mr. Ray has two small children by a former marriage. His marriage to the present Mrs. Ray took place in the spring of 1923. The couple spent their honeymoon in Europe and their wealth was the talk of the country. He gave his wife a wedding gift of $10,000 and a beautiful cottage at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.—The Courier, Pittsburgh, Pa., June 28, 1924. It was the latter part of June 1923, that Mrs. Nora Douglas Holt the dashing and the bewitching widow of the late George W. Holt, who at the time of his death in 1921, owned much valuabe income property in this city, and it is said that he was the head or the front of the Liberty Life Insurance Co. Funeral services were and Queen of England. He has given more than sixteen recitals in England, has sung more than 40 times in the salons of Paris and has been soloist with the Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit Symphony Orchestras in the United States. On his present tour of Europe, Mr. Hayes is to appear with Sir Henry Wood's Orchestra in England, and will give recitals in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and other cities of Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Italy. On his return to America, early in October of this year, Mr. Hayes will fill sixty concert engagements throughout the United States, on a tour which will take him to the Pacific Coast. EASY MONEY FOR THE LORI MER POLITICIANS AND PREACHERS Chicago—An "insider" told the causes of the Lorimer-Munday bank failure. Among them were the loans to Lorimer's political allies, including these: "Fire Escape" Gus Nohe, $0.000; "Battling Peter" Bartzen No. 42 held over his remains at the Eighth Regiment Armory and it was crowded with his thousands of friends from all parts of the country, for he was one of the most popular colored men in the United States. Mr. Holt long before he passed out provided well for his adorable or loving widow. Towards the end of June 1923, Mrs. Holt after looking around and picking the men folks over decided to transfer her warm heart and all of her love to Mr. Joseph Luther Ray, of Bethlehem, Pa. It was one of the grandest weddings ever held among the colored people in this city. The rich and elegant costumes which incased the ravishingly or enchanting forms of the many fair ladies, who were in evidence at the fashionable wedding, were imported from Paris, France, and they cost thousands of dollars. Mrs. Holt never did look so sweet and charming as she did on her third wedding day, her rich and very expensive wedding costume was a wonderful creation of flashy finery, which dazedel and almost blinded the eyes of all those who were fortunate to behold it. In connection with her wonderful wedding gown she was ablaze with diamonds, part of them consisting of her long variegated diamond ear drops which almost touched the floor whenever she moved about, and it is said that her indescribable costume, which adorned her almost perfect figure, and her costly diamonds cost more than fifty thousand dollars. In every way it was a wedding which will never be forgotten by the thousands of friends of the high contracting parties at that time. Mrs. Ray still has many warm friends in Chicago, who heartily wish that she and her husband, Mr. Ray, will face about and warmly embrace each other as of yore, re-join hands and march on arm in arm to the end of life's road—Editor. $1,500; the Rev.

COBB, FORMER UNITED STATES ATTORNEY IN WASHINGTON, DISCUSSES "SEGREGATION IN AMERICAN LAW." Declares Residential Segregation Violates U. S. Constitution Speaking at last night's (Friday) mass meeting, in the Union Baptist Church, 19th and Fitzwater streets, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now holding its Fifteenth Annual Conference in Philadelphia, James A. Cobb former Assistant U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, declared that residential segregation of colored people was a violation of the federal constitution. Mr. Cobb said in part: "Several years ago there sprung up a veritable epidemic of city ordinances passed to accomplish the purpose of racial discrimination and segregation in the matter of occupancy of homes. Atlanta, Ga., Louisville, Ky., Richmond, Va., Baltimore, Md., and Raleigh, N. C., may be mentioned as typical of the cities which attempted to pass such laws. So flagrant was this attempt to defeat the constitutional rights of citizens that the Courts even of some of the Southern States put themselves on record as definitely opposed such legislation. Mr. Justice Day, delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the well-considered case of Buchanan vs. Warley (known as The Louisville Segregation Case), said in part: 'That there exists a serious and difficult problem, arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control, and to which it must give a measure of consideration may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges.' And further on in the same opinion, he said: 'We think this attempt to prevent the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the State, and is in direct violation of the fundamental law enacted in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, preventing state interference with property rights except by the due process of law.' "Certainly this would appear to be the last word on this question of segregation housing. But now the individual flat of a group of people, entering into a mutual covenant not to dispose of their land to people of the Negro race or descent, is chosen as a means of doing what the Constitution of the United States, and the interpretation by the Supreme Court of the United States, has indicated definitely cannot legally be done. "If the Constitution does not protect the rights of all citizens, it does not protect the rights of any, since it knows no distinction of race or color." Z. A. COHN, JR. (CHICAGO DEBUTANT) IN PIANO RECITAL AT THE BEREAN BAPSTIST CHURCH UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PROF. SAMUEL I. LEE Little Miss Audrey Lee Was Heartily Encored After Reciting the Sermon From Longfellow Friday evening, at the Berean Baptist Church, 52nd and Dearborn street, one of the most classical piano recitals was greatly enjoyed by all those who attended the affair. Mr. Zinkey A. Cohn, Jr., was the star of the evening. He is the bright pupil of Prof. Samuel I. Lee, who is connected with the Coleridge Taylor, Conservatory of Music and his splendid playing was evident that he was being thoroughly instructed by his painstaking teacher. The recitation by little Miss Audery Lee the bright and intelligent granddaughter of Prof. and Mrs. Samuel I. Lee, was very pleasing indeed. Miss Audery, who is one of our little warm friends, celebrated his sixth birthday on March 27, 1924, and on that day at the States Theater she delivered an intelligent little speech in favor of the renomination of Hon. Charles Krutckoff for member of the board of assessors of Cook County. She is far advanced in her studies at the Farren School and she is one of the smartest little Misses in Chicago.

William Castleberry, Negro pastor, may have been at the county courthouse from morning until evening for the purpose of marrying colored couples, but Special Judge Fred Woodard, in the court of misdemeanors, didn't seem to think so last Saturday morning, when he sentenced the preacher to 12 months imprisonment and fined him $500. Castleberry, who was obviously stunned by the court's decision, appealed the case. Rev. W. J. Smith, Negro preacher, and his two sons, Leon and Dave, who were arrested together with Castleberry on charges of vagrancy, will not hear the verdict in their particular cases until 30 days have passed. They were arraigned with Castleberry but their cases were continued by Judge Woodard. Castleberry was convicted through the testimony of courthouse authorities, who complained that he had been loitering around the county administration building. But the strongest evidence against the preacher was brought by Lige Johnson, Negro janitor, "judge" and deputy sheriff. Lige testified that he had seen Castleberry every hour every day for the past few months and that he had seen the Smith trio every five minutes. In defending himself, Castleberry stated that he had been authorized to marry Negro couples at the courthouse by Sheriff T. J. Shirley and by Judge H. B. Abernethy. The arrest of the Negro preacher has provoked many other complaints that the courthouse is used as a hanging out place by most of the loafers in Birmingham. A drive against these vagrants is expected to be started soon by the sheriff.—Ex. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 5, 1924 M.

FIVE ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS FINED FOR PUBLISHING NEWS OF CRIMES London.-Five English newspapers were last week fined sums aggregating £1,800 by the King's Bench court for contempt of court in having published certain articles, three of which were connected with the Crumbles murder case and the two other with the Sheringham slander case. Costs of the suits must also be borne by the newspapers involved. The heaviest fine, one of £1,000, fell on "The London Evening Standard," which was charged with having kept out of the way of the police one of the leading witnesses in the Crumbles case and with publishing a statement by her after she had been warned by the police not to make a statement to anybody. "The Daily Express" which, like "The Evening Standard" is a Beaverbrook publication, and "The Manchester Guardian" were both fined £300 in connection with the same case. "The London Daily Chronicle" and "The Norwich Mercury" were fined £100 each in connection with the other case. All the newspapers concerned with the exception of "The Evening Standard" apologized for their contempt, and it was brought out that this is the first charge against "The Guardian" in half a century. Declaring that cases of this kind have increased during recent years, the Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, warned that if further cases of the sort came up the court might order imprisonment as a penalty instead of a fine. He asserted that newspaper investigation of crime was likely to interfere with due administration of the criminal law, and described as a perilous enterprise "this business of an amateur detective investigation, followed by immediate publication of the results."

Redmond, pastor of St. Mark M. E. Church, 50th street and Wabash avenue, performed the wedding ceremony. Mrs. Lynum very gracefully served as matron of honor. Miss Ethel Minor played the wedding march and "O Promise Me" was sung by Miss Georgie Deleware. Only a few of the many friends of the newly made bride and groom were present. The bride was beautifully attired in white lace, carrying the bride's bouquet of orchids and roses. Mr. and Mrs. Howard left Monday evening to spend their honeymoon with the parents of each in Ohio, New York and New Jersey. GO TO PHILADELPHIA A large delegation of bishops, ministers and Chicagoans left the city on Sunday evening for Philadelphia where they were to attend the funeral exercises for the late Bishop Coppins on Tuesday, July 1st. INTERESTING NEWS ITEMS OR ARTICLES RAISES ARGUMENT WITH STREET CAR CONDUCTOR Henry Jackson, boarded a State street car at 35th and State streets, Monday night, and persisted that he had paid his fare and wanted a transfer, to which the conductor refused. He seemed to have money sticking out all over him, and to show that he had plenty of it he got a five dollar bill changed, but kept up the argument of seeking a transfer. He was finally arrested and before Judge Joseph Burke denied any such allegations. He was fined one dollar and costs. MISTAKEN IDENTITY Walter Edison, who was held up Tuesday night, about 3:15, at 35th and Wabash avenue, and who identified J. Lipton as having committed the act, Tuesday, morning, admitted that he was mistaken in the identity of Lipton, and that altho he strongly favored the man who held him up, he was not, Mr. Lipton was discharged. FOUND GUILTY ON TWO CHARGES OF STEALING ELECTRIC-LIGHT BULBS John Housey, who was confronted by two angry women Tuesday morning, in the Wabash Avenue Court, charged with stealing more than twenty electric-light bulbs, was found guilty on the two charges. He was given 60 days and $25 cost in one, and in the other $5 and costs. Mrs. Violet Eberhardt, who resides at 414 E. 33rd St., caught Housey in the act of taking the bulbs from the flat in which she lives. She gave chase and the guilty man fled, his pockets filled with bulbs and fearing that he would be caught threw them along the street as he ran. Gets Re-inforcements in the Chase Mrs. W. Waters, who lives at 3838 Vincennes avenue, seeing the fleeing man, also joined Mrs. Eberhardt in the chase. He was chased from 33rd and State to 33rd and Cottage Grove. He then took refuge in the home of Mrs. Mason Inez, 3306 Wabash avenue, going in the bath room and locking the door. It was there he was arrested. Accused Has Long Record A long record of Housey was read in the records, showing that he had been arrested at least twenty times, for various misdemeanors and was then on probation. CHARGED WITH PLAYING "POLICY" John Striggs, who resides at 52nd and Wabash avenue, was picked up by Officer Walter G. Storms, when he was discovered with quite a bit of figures on games, sticking in all his pockets. He was taken to the station and searched. Striggs was discharged as no evidence was produced to show he was actually selling them. ARRESTED FOR FIGHTING WIFE Paul Hill was hailed into Court Wednesday morning, on a charge of reprimanding "too much" his better half, Mrs. Mable Hill. He was admonished to be more gentle hereafter in his love licks, and given a reminder that failure to do so, might "be impressed by a term of thirty days in the House of Correction." SAVED "BY CHANCE" FROM A LARGE FINE—AND PROBABLY— As Judge Joseph Burke, was about to pronounce sentence upon Geo. Mentor, who pleaded guilty to gun carrying, Wednesday morning, before His Honor, Mentor's employer stepped to the bar and told "His Honor" what a good boy, Geo. was. How prompt, dependent and all that—and that he had been working for them since 1919, he also related that the real cause of Geo. carrying a gun, was, a few weeks ago one of his fellow-employees, had been held up and shot on his way home, and this had tended to scare "the boys." They were only doing this in the fear that they might meet the same fate. He asked that he be put on probation, which was granted. Geo. was saved by a hair. DOG BITES POLICEMAN "Yes, sir—he's some Dog." Thus soliloquized Officer Smith, who was the unfortunate person who happened to be bitten Monday evening, by a dog, owned by Mrs. Wilder, 3542 Wabash avenue. Mrs. Wilder alleged that her dog was killed by the officer and that he was as harmless as a baby. "Why Judge," she said, "The children all play with him." The Judge said that he might be used to the faces of children and then have a grudge against men faces, which might be true. Mrs. Wilder was fined $1 and no costs, but she lost her dog. ASKS COURT TO KEEP SWEET HEART AWAY Rose Anderson, asked the Court, to please keep her sweetheart away from her home, in the Wabash Avenue Court, Wednesday morning. Tony Eagle, the sweetheart, promised the Judge that he would not "pester" Rose any more and would stay as far away as possible from her home. Time will tell, Tony. LOVER CUTS HIS LADY LOVES CLOTHING TO SHREDS Jealous because he felt her love waning, Charles Powell cut up the clothes of Mary Cheatam. Mary didn't see him, but her sister told her this.

STOLEN DRESS FOUND IN HIS PANTS Sam Wodell, who has a record of ten or more convictions, made in the last two years for larceny the last time in court on a charge of this kind, was in February, before Judge Trude, was before Judge Joseph Burke Wednesday morning, charged with stealing a dress from a tailorshop. Wodell denied that he tried to steal the dress and alleged that he was pushed up against the rack on which the dress was hanging, and in some way "it just jumped in his pants." When placed under arrest, the dress was taken from his clothing. Wodell was given thirty days in the House of Correction and $5 and costs WOMAN ARRESTED FOR DRUNKENNESS Lenoir Wilson was arrested Sunday night, on a charge of disorderly conduct. She was well under the influence of alcohol, and was raising quite a disturbance with her landlady, who threatened to put her out. She was discharged, but warned that the next time she was brought in on a complaint of this kind, she would be sentenced to 30 days in the Bridewell. MOTHER HAS SON ARRESTED FOR WHIPPING HER Charged That She Has Been Whipped Several Times; Son Charges She Is of Unsound Mind Mrs. Malinda Davis, had her son brought into court Tuesday morning on a warrant, charging cruelty. She alleged that he son, Robert with whom she is living, has beaten her on many occasions and thrown her out in the rain. She testified that he is not married but is living with a woman. Robert, the son, showed certificates from Dr. J. W. Burrell, of this city, and other physicians to prove the fact that she is mentally unsound and is being treated by them—and has been since the year 1921. Judge Burke advised him to get a warrant for disorderly conduct and have her sent to Dr. Hixon for examination. CAUGHT BLOWING OUT FUSES Margery Lorenge, who is a tenant of N. Walter, and hose case came up last week before Judge Burke, on a charge of slipping down in the basement and blowing out the fuses, was dismissed this morning. Miss Lorenge was told to move, but the landlord insisted that she pay for the fuses blown out, to which she strenuously objected. Mr. Walker introduced witnesses who testified that they saw Miss Lorenge emerging from the basement, but they did not see her in the actual work of blowing out the fuses. HELD UP AND ROBBED Nathan Smith, was held up and robbed by an unknown man, at 46th and Wabash avenue, about 7:30 Saturday night. The list of holdups is increasing each day, and it is little wondered at, when a man feels inclined to take along in his pocket "a little protection, the it be forbidden by law" to insure his safety.

STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAMPING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. BLEW INTO CHICAGO LAST WEEK AND, LIKE THE GROUND HOG, HE SAW HIS SHADOW AND TURNED AROUND AND BLEW OUT AGAIN Chicago, Ill.—I have been moving just a little since I wrote you that last letter, but here I am right back here in Chicago after all, and will be here until I leave, but I will not be here when you read this letter, I will bet my head to a ginger cake. It is a nice thing to be able to drop into Chicago now and then and meet some of the newcomers and to see the improvements being made and then to see how my people* are making wonderful progress. It just makes you feel like singing Old Hundred "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," for if they don't come from God there is no other source. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week, I was in that big city, called Cleveland, Ohio, and if you remember I was mingling with the young Baptists in their Congress. It was a great big meeting. I don't know when I have seen so many young people of the Baptist churches together, they were up to now. Well educated, and reaching out to do more for the kingdom. They had one more big time, and I was delighted to see and know all this. When I got through in Cleveland, I made my way to Cincinnati, and then on to Richmond, so to speak. While I did not go to Richmond, I made it to Lynchburg, where the Virginia Baptists were having something I never heard of before, Sabbatical Jubilee celebration. I heard of this, and thought it was really something new under the sun, but it was just the coming together of all the state organizations in one big convention. That is the state convention, the state Sunday School Convention, the state B.Y.P. U. convention, the state convention of Baptist women. Now that was one more quartet. Seven years ago, these same Baptists celebrated their Golden Jubilee, and this time it was that big name I have told you. These Virginia Baptists are doing something. They operate a school in Lynchburg, where the celebration was held, known as the Virginia Theological Seminary and college. One of the largest schools we have. Just to think of it, it cost them over $106,000 to operate the school last year and they raised all the money, and I am told that at this meeting they just planked down for their own work a little over fifty thousand dollars. Praise the Lord, for we have a vision in Virginia, and a vision to do something for yourself. The president of the convention, Dr. Thomas Jefferson King, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist church, Richmond, Va., is one of the finest men I have ever known, and is just a leader of men, full of the Christ spirit. He is in the hearts of men, and they love him and will ever follow his lead "Where he leadeth" they will follow. I got some real mule-horse pleasure out of being with these people, and seeing how they do things for themselves and God. I just like to write about it. I reached the city of Lynchburg, and went on to Seminary Hill, to my surprise, I was assigned to stop with President and Mrs. R. C. Woods. Dr. Woods is president of this wonderful school, and his wife—well she is his wife. A cultured, well educated woman, and a real mother. She has been right by his side, and is a great help to him, and she received me just like I was one of them educated men way up in "Gee." This is where I tried to shine, for when I saw Mrs. Woods, and she extended me a welcome to her home, I said, "Thankarieti posueritum inkiborum," and she looked wise at me, and replied, "Dr. Woods will be in shortly, and he will be delighted to see you Col. Stump. We are delighted to have you in our home." I was with Dr. and Mrs. T. J. King, Chairman of the Executive Board, Dr. A. A. Galvin, of Newport News; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the great historian and scholar; Dr. Charles S. Morris, and others were there from time to time, and you know I just got the big head, and it would not surprise me if they do not treat me like they do a horse when he gets the big head, they declare that he cannot be cured and die he must. Pray for me. I feel like asking you to pray in Greek, Latin, Hebrew or something else, but then the prayer will have to go up to the throne in straight English, for there is no time to waste. I must tell you that this convention is certainly got some educated men and women in it, those who are working to make the world better, and many of the ministers who hold some of the leading churches in this coun- M.

The president who touched many lives was Prof. Gregory W. Hayes, who has stepped into glory and is waiting for others to join him later. He was just one of them wonderful characters. Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, is a graduate from the institution. He is pastor of a very large church. He preached the Sabbatical sermon, and usually when a man goes from another state to preach a special sermon for any kind of organization, they must "pay his expenses," but this young son of thunder or some other growling region, just paid his own expenses, his wife, and they stopped at the same place I did, and then when the time was on for reporting, he just planked down $1,010 in hard cash, and told them that his people would join him in doing more. Now that is what I call loyalty, and when that sermon came off, honey, let me tell you that young man did step on the gas, and lifted them people heavenward. Thank God for his life and his service. Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia could not be there, but his thousand dollars was right there, and Dr. W. W. Brown, of New York brought along $500, and there was President King and the Fifth Street Baptist church, and they planked down $2,500, and other amounts came along, for Dr. A. L. James, of Roanoke, First Baptist church put down one thousand bucks, and bucked his eyes if to say he was going to tote more later. That is the way the Baptists of Virginia do things. It reminded me of some big Methodist church reporting dollar money. Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist convention, was there from Chicago, and he delivered a wonderful address. He knows how to use the cut off and step on the gas. He just stirred the souls of men, and when he got through with his message, many Virginians declared that they would be in Nashville, in September, representing in the National Baptist convention. He opened their eyes, but could not tell them all at this writing. He is a great speaker, and I am sure that all the Baptists of America are proud of him. The Rev, Dr. J. E. Woods, of Danville, Ky., the leader of the Boyd people was on hand, and he made a fine address. He is a good speaker, and if he just had the real cause behind him he would have cleaned up, but you see Dr. Williams was first, and he cleared the way and burned the bridges behind him. Truth will get a hearing some day. I commend Dr. Woods for his effort. They heard him enthusiastically. That wonderful race woman, Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, the president of the National Training School for women and girls in Washington, D. C., and all electricity, when it comes to speaking. She has the power of just drawing you to her. She will make you open your mouth and listen to what she has to say. She is wonderful. She is a leader of women. I was so glad to have heard her tell THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 5, 1924 Mary E. them to wake up and pay their tare. I wish that God would give us others. I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Mrs. Cora Jordan-White, field secretary, and a fine spirit. She is doing her work and doing it well. She has a wonderful address she is giving to the young people and old people too which is inspiration, "Master the Tempest is Raging." If you hear her you will feel like shouting. I just feel like shouting my fool brains out when I heard it. side by side with Ira. T. Bryant. It is a good team and I am of the opinion that they will do well. He is going to give to the Sunday Schools the best literature they have ever had, and then in addition to that he will be made one of the bishops in 1928. I will predict that right now, whether I am here to see it through or not. I will now have to bring this letter to a stop, but I am not through. When I got to town Dr. J. S. Trice was at the stable to meet me in his CLOSES SUCH The Enterprise school for youths closed a most suicidal with a play and pents. Addresses Bowen, M. T. B.

Coppin, of Philadelphia, had stepped into the kingdom. Another great man has left us, but he will in spirit hover around his people and church. I recall his efforts at the General Conference in Louisville. He was accompanied by his wife and daughter, and he was next in order, being at the close the active senior bishop. Some of his friends thought that he should have retired, but he told them that he was coming back to health, and would be a stronger man. Some of those big folks wanted Bishop A. J. Carey to take charge of the work here, but others though it would be against the health of Bishop Coppin to assign him to another field. I do not know who will be the successor, yet I do now know that while in Wilberforce there was a petition asking for him, because of the illness of Bishop Coppin. We will see, and I will let you know if possible in my next letter. I have been by Ashland to see Dr. Julian C.

If you want anything you must go after it not in a half-hearted way, but with a determination that will brook no interference. The one thing that you may as well understand right in the beginning is that you will get no more than you are willing to pay for, but you can have almost anything you want, when you want it bad enough. —A. E. Stewart. Would Re-Name Opals Would Re-Name Opals Though opals are much admired and are commonly worn in this country, there is a popular superstition in Europe and other parts of the world that these beautiful stones are unlucky and bring misfortune to the owner. For that reason South Australia is seeking to exploit this product under another name, "iridots," after the Greek word for rainbow. The Successful Men The men I have seen succeed best in life have been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces and took the chances and changes of their normal life like men, facing rough and smooth alike, as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb, that "Good times and bad times and all times pass over."-Kingsley. Victory Over One's Self Victory Over One's Self You may talk of Gettysburg's "Bloody Angle" or Waterloo's Sunken Road, but in every man's life there is no battle more severe, and no victory more honorable than when a man fights with himself and wins the victory. Victory over one's self is the greatest feat in the world! and surely he who cannot control himself cannot control other people.—Exchange THE HEAD LEADERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT CLEVELAND, OHIO, RAN OUT FROM UNDER THE COLORED PEOPLE AND LEFT THEM HANGING HIGH AND DRY. JOYLAND Chicago's Wonder Amusement Park Rides, Shows, Games, Music, Dancing, Roller Skating Now Open for the Season Pep—Pleasure—Joy—Jazz—Fun—Frolic Bigger and Better Than Ever Admission 10 Cents 33rd Street and Wabash Avenue The Republican Party of the U. S. has a rich heritage and a history full of achievements that the voters cannot and generally do not seek to ignore. None more so than the Negro. It was under its banners that the mighty host marched to the defense of the Union and the liberation of the slave. The Freedman and his descendants have not forgotten this and have unfalteringly stood by their guns in defense of the old party long enough for their gratitude not to be questioned. In the face of the broken promises, hopes deferred, indifference and open hostility within the party, they have heretofore turned deaf ears to all who would have them desert. They would not forget the rock of their salvation. The matchless Frederick Douglass exclaimed that for him the Republican Party was the ship and all else the sea. But patience has long since ceased to be a virtue. The indifference of the party when in power has begotten indifference in the Negro. He ceases to listen to promises that he knows are made but to be broken. But when the ship begins to sink, every passenger boldly trusts himself to the waves. He prefers to take his chances even against the raging sea than go down with a sinking ship. At the close of an administration, which has become a byword for corruption and graft, the Negro of the District of Columbia sees the District so-called representatives boldly claim seats in the Republican convention because of the money that the organization which sent them raised in the past campaign and will raise in the oncoming. And their plea availed. The political philosophy seemed to be: "We will give you the money, you can buy the votes," and the committee on credentials listened to the voice of the contributors and paid no heed to those who claimed to represent the voters. In the face of this performance can we credit the hypocritical plank of the platform that deplores “Veins of Wealth” As Ruskie: tells us: "The veins of wealth are not the veins of gold and silver in the earth, but the veins of rich, red blood in the bodies of youth." Ears for Steamers Modern ocean steamers are being equipped with sensitive electrical "ears" by means of which sounds beneath the surface of the ocean are easily audible. In fogs or storms these "ears" hear submarine signals when buoys and other signals are invisible. An Ancient Anesthetic An Ancient Anesthetic In prehistoric times, Zunis and other tribes of North American Indians used a substance obtained from the jimson weed as an anesthetic during surgical operations. the corruption of public officials? In the same plank is contained the weak answer to the challenge of the Ku Klux Klan. It must be a poltroon party indeed that hesitates a single second as between government by lawfully constituted authority and through the forms of law, and government by hooded midnight prowlers. The Klan pretends to lift its voice in the affairs of this government, whose proud boast has been that it is a government of laws and not of men, yet the activities are such that its members must go masked because they are ashamed to look each other in the face; and yet the Republican Convention dared not even denounce them—as cheap as words are. How have the mighty fallen! The party of Lincoln and Grant and Roosevelt dares not defy a band of midnight assassins. Indeed the Republican party has lost its old time appeal to the Negro. The plank on the Anti-Lynch Law is a joke. For over six months the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been pigeon-holed by a committee with a Republican majority and chairman. This same measure also failed in the 67th Congress, where the G. O. P. had a preponderant majority. The Racial Commission also mentioned in the platform is without standing or support among the thinking Negroes. Any attempt to saddle such a commission on the race will be vigorously fought. The two bills pending in Congress, when it adjourned calling for the appointment of such a commission, were vigorously protested when the committees in the House and Senate held hearings on them. The Negro race will find no consolation in the Republican platform, in its councils, or in its Congress. The only recognition the race will receive politically, will be that recognition which it forces by its votes, which should be given to parties because of their performances, and not because of promises.-The Washington Tribune. Some Exposure Perhaps if the subterfuges of the whole world were exposed simultaneously, after the first shock, there would be a great sheepish laugh. Negroes in France Long Ago. Effigies carved 20,000 years ago and found in caves in France would indicate that the negrioid type was prevalent in France at an early date.

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 sheen. 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 by clear, lovely glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

These three loves are the reverential love, the chumship love and the mating love. On the other hand, I would have you continue these loves; cultivate them; continually express them, and giving each its proper place, secure a balance and harmony of all the loves. I am not sympathetic with the assumption and usual practice of psychoanalysis. It is fascinating but as wrongly conceived as "English as she is spoke." It is fascinating because it is mainly concerned in taking a human soul apart to find out how it works, much as a little boy takes apart a clock to find out how it runs. What we need is much less psychoanalysis and more—oh, very much more—soul synthesis. There are four distinctive loves in the life of every normal human being. First, the reverential love, which begins with the love of the child for its parents. Second, the chumship love, which begins in the child's love for his playmates. Third, the mating love, which begins with the dawn of maturing sex. The first fundamental mistake of the psycho-analysts is this: They consider the period in which each of the loves begins as the determinant of love itself.—Brown Landone in Nautilus. "Duck Boards" Butler Gen. Smedley Butler, the marine commander who recently cleaned up Philadelphia, has a personality which naturally fastens descriptive nicknames on him. "Old Glimlet Eyes" is what Quaker city police call him, but "Duck Boards" Butler, an appellation that grew out of the war, is more popular with his own "soldiers of the sea." "Duck boards" is the British name for the narrow, wooden walks constructed over mud at the bottom of trenches and along army camp paths. The boards are generally named about six inches apart on sleepers, and, while they are effective in keeping one out of the mud, the pedestrian must watch his step. In the spring of 1919 the marine camp was at Port Anceen, near Brest. It was a veritable sea of mud. The war was over and the men were impatient to get home and resented their daily task of building more duckboard walks. Realizing the marines' discontent and knowing that embarka- tion was some distance in the future, General Butler decided to bolster up morale by a practical example. One Sunday morning, donating an old uniform and rubber boots, he took a hatchet and a shovel and worked all day with his soldiers building-duck board walks. From that day General Butler has been known among the rank and file as "Old Duck Boards." Many Languages in India There are many races in India, and the individuals are as different as a German is from a Frenchman, and as easy to recognize as belonging to different races, says Asia Magazine. Some women wear skirts, some wear trousers. Some men wear trousers, some wear skirts. And some wear neither skirts nor trousers. They simply wear a piece of cloth/wound about their bodies. As different and numerous as are their costumes, religions, customs and races, so are the languages. The official census records 220 different dialects. It also shows that over 100 different languages are spoken in India. These are not dialects. They are absolutely differing tongues—as different as English and French. And all these more than five-score languages are spoken in one country. "Andy," Post sports editor, told this one "confidential." Out on the Post golf course at Camp Logan recently, an eminent divine and his wife were valliant pasting and chasing the little white ball. The lady drove with vigor, missed—and said a naughty word. "Tut, tut, my dear!" expostulated the churchman. "Tut, tut,' hell—hell—hello," filtered the wife, "I'm doing the golfing and I'll 'tend to my own cussing."—Houston Post. Women More Careful Sex According to reports of the London police department, only a third of the traffic victims in that city are women. Even the provincial women visitors, say the police, are more careful of their personal safety than men.
