OF CHURCH BY DOCTOR THOMPSON Kissing has been given the ecclesiastical okey by Dr. John Thompson, pastor of the First Methodist Church in the Chicago Temple Building, Clark and Washington streets. He told members of the Oak Park Lions Club recently that osculation is all right. Although a misplaced mack often leads to divorce courts a good, legitimate kiss makes for laughter and happiness. "Kissing is a natural expression of human emotion." said the Rev. Mr. Thompson. "We are in this world to have a roaring good time. Kissing leads to laughter. Laughter is natural, and God is a lover of humor and fun." [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a lapel pin. The background is a plain, light color.

DENNIS J. EGAN DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION FOR BAILIFF OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO Report of Crime Commission Is Crowe Defense, Hits Back at Better Government Hon. Dennis J. Egan, Democratic candidate for re-election as Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago, has amply proven himself to be by far the best and most efficient bailiff who has 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, his 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. Honorably serving as such under the late County Judge Thomas F. Scully. In all of those positions he has made an enviable record. He is particularly proud of his great work as 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 untarnished record which is one of faithful discharge of a public trust, and one hundred per cent efficiency in public affairs. For example, Mr. Egan will never permit his assistant baliffs to serve writs on the poor and unfortunate people who are unable to pay their rents or dispossess them of their homes or premises in bad weather, if possible he will not set their houseshould goods out on the sidewalk on the misfortunate is very scarse and scant. It has been said in the beginning that the deputy baliffs 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 $75.00 a month and a maximum of $125.00 a month to a minimum of $150.00 a month and a maximum of $200.00. Considering the kind of work that State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe has struck back at the Better Government Association, which has made frequent attacks on him during the political campaign and which has its own candidate for state's attorney—Hope Thompson. In launching Thompson as an independent the Better Government Association officials say they found it impossible to support either Crowe, the Republican, or State Representative M. L. Igoe, the Democratic nominee. Records and statements of the "non-sectarian, nonpolitical" Chicago Crime Commission are cited by Mr. Crowe. Hired Detectives, Charge "Several members of the Better DR. JONES OF MONMOUTH ILL., KICKS OUT HARD AGAINST THE WHITE LEADERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY In looking over one of the large daily newspapers the other day, it said that the Republican party had become infected with a real fear about the Negro vote, but some of the less easily disturbed Republicans say that this talk from the Negro leaders is not to be feared, that the political type of Negro leader has little weight with these employees are called upon to do, and the cost of living prevailing today, this did not seem excessive. A 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 Bailliff's staff clerks, deputies and all, have been put back upon the meager pittance they received years ago. Mr. Egan's great services to his party (he has been a life-long Democrat) received recognition recently in the unanimous endorsement 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. Notwithstanding 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. The courts are the Speeders or Automobile Court, the Morals Court, the Boy's Court, and the Court of Do Government Association have been attempting to destroy the confidence of the people of Cook County in their chief law enforcing officer, the state's attorney, and are resorting to misrepresentation and vilifications concerning my record as such." Mr. Crowe said. "Since I have been state's attorney I have never received any aid or assistance from these men. They have hired detectives to trail me, in the hope they might find something in my private life to criticize. There being nothing in my private life or public career that they can justly find fault with, they are now conducting a campaign of slander and vilification." Mr. Crowe quoted the crime commission's comment on the decrease in murders in 1920, when, as chief jus- his own people, and that the bulk of the Negro voters can be depended upon to stick to his dearest traditions, namely, that of voting for the party that freed the slaves. Will some of the Republican papers please state just how much longer it will take the Negro to pay the debt he owes the Republican party. The Negro desires to know how much longer they have got to bunch their votes for the Republican party before the debt is paid. The Negro voter has been under the political lash of the Republican party so long that he is subject to a second freedom. The Negro voter must be like a frog waiting to catch a fly; if the fly comes mesic 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 $2,500,00 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 people residing in all parts of this city irrespective of their political opinions feel mighty proud of the past honest and honorable political career of Hon. Dennis J. Egan and on Tuesday, November 4, they, the people, including his thousands of colored friends, will assist to re-elect him Baliff of the Municipal Court of Chicago. tice of the Criminal Court, he established special "murder courts." Quotes Commission's Report Quoting from the commission's annual report for 1922: "The escape of criminals by means of straw bail has been substantially reduced as a result of the firm and courageous action of State's Attorney Crowe." Again from the 1923 report: "There is marked improvement in the administration of criminal justice and crime is becoming a more hazardous undertaking in Chicago. The substantial reduction in the volume of crimes and violence is in no small measure due to the effective activity of State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, his assistants, and other officials of the Criminal Court." near enough, then take him in, but if not, then wait. The Republicans are the fly, we are the frogs, but we are losing our taste for flies and are going to try the leap-frog game so that the Republican party will no longer find us quietly sitting down waiting for that old tasteless bait. Let every Negro voter treat the Republican party as it has treated the Negro voter. Let us send the Republican party up in the tree to shake down the plums. Let us help the party that works to the interest of the laboring classes in general. SAVE THE PLUMS. Dr. G. W. Jones, Motmouth, Ill. September 22, 1924.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924 From the Alaska Weekly, Friday Sept. 12, 1924 Governor Sulzer is Optimistic Over North Former Governor of New York Makes Ten-Thousand Mile Trip in Interior Regions As Member of Congress, Mr. Sulzer Was One of the Devoted Friends of Alaska and Is Still Engaged in Constructive Work for the Territory Former Gov, William Sulzer, of New York, one of the old-time Alaskans, and familiarly known throughout the territory as "Sourdough Bill," arrived in Seattle last night on the S. S. Victoria from Seward. The ex-governor served in Congress for twenty years, and needs no introduction to the readers of The Alaska Weekly. In fact, it may well be said that he is one of us, as he has frequently been in all sections of the territory and has always been regarded as one of the active supporters of everything that tends to the development and prosperity of the North. During the time the governor was in Congress, he did much for Alaska by way of constructive legislation, and was regarded as Alaska's best friend. Mr. Sulzer has just returned from a ten thousand-mile trip through the vast interior of Alaska, where he owns large mining interests, on which a certain amount of development work has been done during past years. These properties were examined by Mr. Sulzer, with the idea of laying out work on a more extensive and permanent basis. It is the aim of Mr. Sulzer to have a government railroad built into the interior, and he has been laboring with Congress for several years past, with that end in view. Last winter, he gave his personal efforts to assist Col. Steese, Delegate Sutherland, Col. Landis and others interested to prevail upon Congress to make a liberal appropriation for roads and trails in Alaska, for the coming years. It is the confident belief of Gov. Sulzer that the mineral resources of the great interior country will develop in the near future to an extent that will warrant the extension of the Alaska Railroad to the White River and Chandalar districts. Gov. Sulzer predicts that with transportation, and greater development, these sections of Alaska will undoubtedly become the richest gold and copper districts in the world, and will furnish sustenance and industry to a million hardy people. They will be cattle people and agriculturists, who will supply foodstuffs to the people living in the large cities of the world. Wheat, oats and barley can be grown in the great valleys of the Tanana, the White and the Chisana to greater advantage than anywhere else in the world, to say nothing of hardy vegetables like potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, carrots, onions, cabbages, celery and cauliflower. This is on account of the soil and climatic conditions. "You may say that I am an Alaska enthusiast," said the governor, "but the things I said about Alaska a quarter of a century ago are true today, and every one of my predictions now will come true in the next quarter of a century. "Alaskan mines have had difficulty in operating successfully in the interior of Alaska on account of lack of transportation, but this situation must now be remedied by the extension of the Government railroad, and then quantity production will be secured and the railroad will pay. "This is my nineteenth trip to Alaska," continued Mr. Sulzer, "and perhaps few people have seen as much of Alaska as I have in the past thirty years. Years ago, I said that Alaska was God's country and the wonderland of the world. For health, for climate, for scenery, and material resources, it is the greatest country on the face of the globe. It could easily CONCERNED IN MINING support a population of fifteen million. The trouble in the East, especially in Washington, D. C., is lack of knowledge concerning the possibilities of Alaska, and what ought to be done to develop her resources and bring people to Alaska to live. Just to visualize this: Alaska is one-fifth the size of the United States. Put the map of Alaska over the map of the United States and Alaska will extend five hundred miles east of Cape Hatteras, five hundred miles south of New Orleans, five hundred miles north of St. Paul, and five hundred miles west of San Francisco. Alaska is the land of magnificent distances. Few people realize this. To illustrate what I say—the distance from Havana, Cuba, to Etah, Greenland, is about two thousand nine hundred and sixty-three miles. The distance from Cape Chacon, in southeastern Alaska, to Point Barrow, in northern Alaska, is three thousand and two hundred and forty-one miles and there is no more difference in the climate of Alaska than exists on the Atlantic Coast. How few people know this: It speaks for itself. "There are really three Alaska's—namely, Southeastern Alaska, Southwestern Alaska, and Northern Alaska—all empires in themselves, and each different in climate, vegetation and natural resources. "Yes," went on the governor, "I made a 'big mush' this year through interior Alaska. I saw much, heard much, learned much, and I know more about Alaska now than ever before, and that is saying a great deal. I was through the Copper River Valley, the White River Valley, the Chisana Valley, the Tanan Valley, the Yukon Valley, and the Chandalar Valley—all great valleys—rich beyond the dreams of avarice in material resources. These valleys must now be opened to the people. Transportation will do it. The railroad must be extended. I shall do my part to this accomplishment." Mr. Sulzer praised the work of Col. Landis, and said he was just the man for the railroad job, and that every friend of Alaska should get behind the colonel and help him in every way possible. The great governor of New York also commended Col. Steeese, and had nothing but good words for our delegate, Dan Sutherland, both of whom are his personal friends. "More trails, more dirt roads, and more railroads," said Mr. Sulzer, "is the solution of nine-tenths of the problems of Alaska. With these means of ingress and egress people will come and go, and Alaska will come into her own, and produce more real wealth in the years to come than the wildest imagination can now conceive. "I am just as much a friend of Alaska today as I ever have been," said Mr. Sulzer. "I have large interests in different parts of the territory and I am going to stick to Alaska in the future as I have in the past. The people of Alaska can always depend upon me to do my share to secure Alaska her rights, to promote her welfare, and to protect her interests." The following letter speaks for itself, and shows what Mr. Sulzer is trying to accomplish: "The Alaska Roode Commission "We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the Alaska Roads Commission continue the build of the road from McCarthy P. O. to Chisana P. O. to open up and develop the cattle, mineral and agricultural resources of the White River Precinct. "According to eminent mining engineers, and the reports of the United States Geological Survey, the richest quartz and placer mines in Alaska are in the White River Mining Precinct. Much work has been done on these mines, under great difficulty, and at much expense, to prove their worth, and the miners, and the owners interested, are entitled to consideration from the Alaska Roads Commission to get transportation to and from their properties. "The trail from Chisana to McCarthy makes it impossible to ship ore, and almost impossible to get in supplies. If the Government would build this road thousands and thousands of tons of gold and copper ores would be shipped out of the district every month. Thus far the Government has done little to help the people in this section of Alaska. They are just as much entitled to roads and help as the people in other parts of Alaska. "Besides the wonderful mineral resources of the White River Mining Precinct, there is much land in the precinct available for farming, cattle raising, etc., but nothing can be done in this connection until there is road transportation, and, the quickest and easiest transportation would be for the Government to build a tractor road from McCarthy to Chisana, about 75 miles. This road need not be completed this year. It can be completed next year. "It is a most meritorious proposition, and will pay for itself a hundred-fold every year—in actual wealth—to the people of the United States. Besides, sooner or later, it will be the basis for the Government railroad from Fairbanks to McCarthy, connecting with the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad—and some day this railroad must be built. "This is the only way to open up one of the greatest sections of interior Alaska, the resources of which are beyond the dreams of avarice. THE CALL OF THE NORTH (Dedicated to the former governor of New York, "Sourdough Bill" Sulzer.) 'Tis the Spirit of Alaska that is calling me tonight, As I dream in New York City, where the lights are always bright; And I long to see the ragged-coast and snow-capped peaks on high. Oh, take me to Alaska! Take me back before I die. I can see the coast range glistening, crowned with everlasting snow, I can hear the river roaring in the valley far below, I can feel the cool of evening as the sun sinks out of sight; 'Tis the Spirit of Alaska that is calling me tonight. I can hear the wind a-sighting through the tree tops dark and tall. I can hear the wolves a-calling as they band up in the fall; Well I know their every action as they vanish out of sight; the maddening throng, As I watch the toil-worn faces of the people pass along!

You're getting old, Bill! Your mushing days are over, but you don't change much; you are the same old Bill—genial, sunshiny and democratic. From all that we can see, you still have the vision of the seer, the peep of the pioneer, the enthusiasm of youth, and the maternal love of the Great Northland. We are glad you are with us again in Fairbanks. The boys from the creeks, and all of us, welcome you with fraternal greetings that bring to memory many fond recollections of the good old days—gone forever! We listen to your optimism about Alaska, and her coming glory; about the new strike and the next stampede: about helping Dan Sutherland in Congress; about the money you will get for Judge Bunnel to go forward with our college; about helping Col. Steese build the roads, and the trails, and the bridges; about extending the Government railroad from Fairbanks to McCarthy; about opening up the Tanaana, the Chisana, and the White River Valleys; about dissipating the clouds of ignorance in the East concerning Alaska, and the greatness of her un-developed resources. We listen, "Bill," and it all sounds good to us. You're a real he-man, "Bill"—a true sourdough, a genuine Alaskan. Quit the effete East, "Bill." You don't belong there. Come back to us. We welcome you. Our homes are open to you. The northern lights shine for you. Our hearthsides long for you. Alaska—our Alaska—wants you, and there is nothing she has to give that you can't have, if you want it. Welcome, "Bill" I Thrice welcome to your old stamping ground. Fairbanks salutes you!

Crowe has issued the following statement: "The two candidates who are opposing me for the office of state's attorney have been criticizing the record I have made as state's attorney. Their only knowledge of conditions in the Criminal Court is such as they obtained as attorneys defending criminals that I have prosecuted. "Judge Marcus Kavanagh, who has presided in the Criminal Court during my administration, has this to say of my record: "Please accept my congratulations on the splendid record you have made in your office. You have rendered notable and lasting service to the people of this county by the fair, fearless and able performance of your duty. Largely through your efforts life is safer in Chicago, and the law-abiding citizens more secure in their homes and property." Mrs. Sandy W. Trice, 4536 Calumet avenue, returned home Friday morning from her vacation trip to Idlewild, Michigan. ```markdown ``` baa : —— — “ BISHOP W. SAMPSON BROOKS, D.

While in conversation with Bishop Brooks at the Vincennes Hotel, the first of this week, he stated that “If the almost eight thousand preachers in his church would only send their after collections to him once or twice each year, he would not be SOCIAL NEWS A very interesting report of the work done at the national and other women’s conventions was given by the secretary, Mrs. Etta Jones, at the last meeting of the Phyllis Wheatley Club.

THREE PASTORS PRAISE CROWE’S WORK IN OFFICE Replying to politicians who have criticized his record, State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe has issued a state- ment containing quotations from three members of Chicago's clergy. The excerpts were taken from letters of approval of Mr. Crowe's work and were from Dr. Abraham Hirschberg, rabbi, Temple Sholom; the Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the Rev. Father Michael O'Sullivan, pastor of St. Bridget's Church. “We need just such a man as Mr. Crowe,” said Dr. Hirschberg. “Men like him fearlessly perform their duty,” said the Rev. Mr. Clark. “Mr, Crowe's fearless prosecution of criminals does credit to the city,” said Father O'Sullivan.

A mammoth Negro Historical Pa- geant, entitled “Milestones,” will be staged at the Auditorium, Congress and Wabash avenue, Friday evening. October 17. The proceeds from the pageant will be expended for the sup- port of the South Side Community Center, 32nd street and South Wabash avenue. Mrs, A. S. McKinley, presi- dent; Mr. Jesse Binga, treasurer, and Mrs, Mary B. Jones, secretary. As an evidence that the most prom- inent white ladies in this city are be- coming deeply interested in the pag- eant, on Wednesday at a luncheon at the Northwestern Settlement, Miss Crogman was the guest of Miss Har- rie Vittum, hostess, and Miss Crog- man was introduced to a large num- ber of the leading Jadies in this city, among whom were Mrs. Rath Hanna Medill McCormick, who assured Miss Crogman of her warm support and who will arrange to have her mect a large number of persons and relate to them the highly interesting story of the beautiful pageant. Miss Ada Crogman, dramatic spe- cialist of National Community Sery- ice, New York, maintained by the Playground and Recreation Associa- tion of America has been sent here to produce the pageant. A cast of five hundred is ‘expected to participate. The-story of the experience of the colored people in America with all its drama of straggles and attainments will be shown in the pageant “Mile- stones.” The pageant is something entirely different from anything ever attempted here before and the manner in which the episodes will be carefully presented, the fidelity to costume, and the wealth of harmony that come bil- lowing forth from the “Spirituals” and other more modern music by Negro composers, will aid in making the pro- duction a really good amateur attempt at histrionic art. The pageant artistically depicts the development of the American Negro starting in Egypt, exhibiting ancestral idol worship, life in an African village, the capture by ruthless and cruel slave hunters, the slave market and the cot- ton fields of the South, the yearning and struggle for human liberty, the growth of patriotism, the awakening of literature, art and invention and prep- aration for civic righteousness and service. For the past three years the pag- eant has been staged in numerous cities in differént sections of the country and has met with most favor- able comment. The following are the pageant com- mittee chairmen: Mrs. Wendell Green, who is a very active worker in the Alpha Kappa Al- pha Sorority of which she was at one time president and which she so ably represented at the Sanhedrin Council, is serving as chairman of the pageant committee and is assisted by Mrs. Sadie Adams as co-chairman. Mrs. Adams has the distinction of having MARCHING CLUB ORGANIZED The 1925 Marching Club of Ft. Dearborn Lodge 44, I. B. P.O. E. W., was organized in a meeting held last Sunday at 2963 S.

DAVIS Democratic Nominee For President Receives Token From Missouri Ne- groes; Dr. Wm. J. Tompkins of Kansas City Is Spokesman Quite a nice sprinkling of colored people mingled with the vast crowd at Nelson farm last Monday to witness the opening of the democratic cam- paign in Missouri, The principal speakers on this occa- sion were Dr. Arthur W. Nelson, dem- ocratic candidate for governor of the state and the Hon. John W. Davis, the democratic nominee for president of the United States. Judging from the immense crowd women, men and children, one would consider it an easy bet that the State would go democratic in November by 50,000 majority. Of Interest to Negroes It seemed quite fitting that a group of colored pepole should be on hand asa part and parcel of whatever was done or said on an occasion of this kind. And while it was a busy day, yet the management had time and a place on the program for the Negroes of the state to have a word. This hon- or fell upon Dr. William J. Tomp- kins of Kansas City, who on bekali of the Negroes of the state, presented as he stated, to “The next president of the United States,” a token of the ap- preciation of the invaluable service rendered the colored race in an official way by Mr. Davis. The token was in the form of a sil- ver loving cup with appropriate in- scription as follows: “A token of appreciation presented to the Hon. John W. Davis by a grate- ful people, the Negroes of Missouri, on his visit to Missouri, Sept. 15, 1924, for his matchless efforts in fighting the cause of human rights of the Negroes of West Virginia and the nation.” The cup bore the great seal of Mis- souri, encompassed by two palm leaves, significant, Dr. Tompkins ex- plained, “of the additional peacé and happiness which have been brought to the Negro race through Mr. Davis’ untiring efforts.” At the top of the cup was the fig- ure of Winged Victory holding the laurel wreath of achievement, In acknowledging the token, the democratic nominee said that the col- ored people of the nation were entitled to every right of citizenship as other citizens as provided by the constite- tion of the United States and ex- pressed his gratitude for the kind ex- pressions coming from the Missour Negroes.—The Argus, St. Louis, Mo.

COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGU- LAR OLD-TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD Ax, IS STILL HARPING ON HIS TRIP TO NASHVILLE, TENN., WHERE HE CAME IN CONTACT WITH MANY REAL BEAUTIFUL LADIES WHO ENTERTAINED HIM. 1 am back in Chicago, but before you say “scat” I will be out, for this old world is moving and I think it is necessary for me to move with it, and that is exactly what I am doing. I wish that you could do some mov- ing, too. Alll attention is now turned to elect- ing a president of the United States, and I hope that we are not going to make a mistake at this time. I want to see the people of America do the right things. I know that there are many orators out now that will sway you to and fro and then fro and to, but you had better use that little knot you have on top for more than a hat rack. Will you do this? Dollars are flying in the air, but I am just think- ing of that thing you call birthright. I don’t know exactly what it is but you do, and I need only to mention it and then that mess of potage. T have no unkind words to say of Attorney Davis, for I don’t know any- thing about him, but I do know some- thing of that which is behind him, his party. I know for what that party stands, and I know how they have tried in the Senate, in the House and everywhere else to impede my prog- jress, and I do know that the party per se has given my people hash-e- square-lull, and they are going to do even more if we will help them to get in power. Here and there we find some | representative man who has jumped the track, but that may be expected in this world, and they are going to tell us that we should vote for—Davis. Hear them through, then say, “Skuse me, please, for Coolidge is good enough for me just now.” Do not forget President Wilson. He made many promises to representa- tives of my people. Bishop Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, Dr. J. Milton Waldron all flopped over, and said “Eureka.” They declared that a new Abraham Lincoln had been found, and-told us all “Come ‘on now, vote for Prof. Wilson and we would enter a new life in this country.” Many of our people heard him, and jumped the track, but it was all to our sorrow. We got it, but it was a set back that it will take along time to recover from, There came forth a word I never heard of before, “seg- regation,” but bless your soul I have been hearing from it ever since. I have suffered muchly, and if you put another democrat there it will be fixed so that it will take eternity to un- fix it. We were put out of office, like we were poison or death. If you don't believe what I tell you, ask Henry Lincoin Johnson, Hon. J. C. Napier, jour own W. H. Lewis, step to the |grave ask Ralph W. Tyler and see Bishop Alexander Walters in his grave, praying “Father forgive me.” T would have you step to Boston and ask the advocate of Mr. Wilson, Wm. Monroe Trotter, about his treatment, and how when he pleaded for his peo- ple and their rights before the Presi- dent, he was told that he had insulted the highest officers in the land, and was not again permitted to see his majesty. But why all this? I have been to headquarters, and have seen how they are situated, found that intellectual lawyer and giant, Mr. Matthews, in his private office organizing my people the country over; Col.

Brown, the pa ee OT ee tists had one more big convention. They were there from everywhere. I ‘believe it was the number you read about in the Bible, the number that John saw, The mayor of Nashville delivered an address of welcome and after looking for some few minutes at that host, he asked “Where did all you people come from anyway? You are not through coming yet.” It was wonderful how them Bap- tists worked as one. They are now ‘applying the unit rule, all working as one, and the object is the new home_ for the Sunday School Publishing Board, with Dr. A. M. Townsend as ‘secretary. Dr. L. K. Williams should be one more proud man, for these people are all following his lead, and oe are declaring him the man of the hour, the new Moses for Baptists, and men of both races are singing his praises. He has one hand in that of the white Baptists north and the other in that of the white Baptist south, and is uniting them and at the same time he has both hands in the hands of his ‘own people, and they are saying to him, “Where you lead us we will fol- low you.” They are doing that thing. New England, New York, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Maryland, and all them other states were down in Nash- ville, and Dr. W. W. Brown, that great preacher of New York, preached the annual missionary sermon. Put it down that it was preached. Dr. L. K. Williams was elected to succeed himself as president by all the delegates voting for him. I consider this a high honor. Dr. W. M. Taylor of Baton Rouge, La., was elected vice- president at large, and they elected two ‘others, Revs. R. M. Caver of Little Rock, Ark., and J. C. Jackson of Hart- ford, Conn., and both are strong men. Dr. Jackson is president of the New England convention, and Caver is moderator of the Union District Bap- tist Association of his state. Prof. R. G, Hudson was elected secretary, and this position he has held for 18 years. Perhaps you want to know the assis- tant secretaries. They are Revs. T. O. Fuller, J. N. Nabrit, E. H. McDonald and E. Arlington Wilson, and the man to succeed Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes is Dr. A. D. Williams, of Atlanta, Ga., another great preacher. He will fill the position well. After having a big time in Nashville, Monday night we shook the Nashville dust off of our feet and each man left for his own home, while I made my way to Louisville, ‘then to Frankfort. I was glad to get to see some of my old Kentucky friends. I went over the ground one more time, and I am much indebted to Prof. Blanton for the treat. He treated me fine, and I enjoyed his ‘company. 1 got back to Louisville, spent the night at tue home of William S. Stew- ard, and then made it to Chicago. 1 am here for a few hours, for I will be out of the city before this letter reaches. the office, and will be back and leave here next Friday night for Cleveland, Qhio. I will be there a whole week, and may go to Toledo and other points. ‘<3 During my stay in Chicago, I have ‘been in the home of Charles Stewart, and they have accorded me the best possible treatment. Charles Stewart, who is the son-of his father, hence he. is interesting, met me in his automo- bile car carriage and has toted me around in it just a little. I have vsrtea the Chicago conference and heard some of the speeches. I ‘ave just had @ big time-here in Chicago, and it will not be Jong before I will be back. 1 like to-go to Stewart's because 1 do not have to pay for sleeping or eating.

SOUTH STATE STREET Ale Once Labeled Poison Years ago in the merry days of the English tavern there was a turmoil among radicals over the "poisoning" of the ale drunk by the common people. The trouble was caused when some one learned that in making ale sulphuric acid, made from Spanish pyrites, was used and that this contained arsenic. It was a tempest in a teapot, however, because it would have taken five barrels of ale to contain enough arsenic to hurt one individual. _____ The Ugliest There are curious birds in Africa and the most beautiful birds in the world are to be found there.
