Dennis J. Egan has been intelligent, efficient, zealous and vigilant in the public interest. His effort has at all times been constructive and of the greatest usefulness. As member of the Public Library Board in 1903-4 Mr. Egan gave to that body a remarkably practical knowledge and lot of sound common sense which made him, says Colin C. H. Fyffe, a colleague, a most helpful and proficient member. Mr. Egan served in the General Assembly from 1904 to 1908. During that time he was one of the most able and energetic members of that body. Chicago and the state at large are indebted to him for the very effective support he gave the measures of the highest importance to the people. They include:— The Act Creating the Municipal Courts—the poor man's tribunal. The primary election law revolutionizing the conduct of party activities to the advantage of all citizens. The municipal Employes Pension Fund Law. The Forest Preserve Law. The Teachers' Pension Fund Act for which Mr. Egan worked both night and day. The Pension Fund Law for public library employes.

Charles Ringer, Republican candidates for re-election for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, whose past and present public career shines forth all the time like the bright noon-day sun, and can be easily read like unto an open book, for more than forty years has made his home in this city and keenly watched its growth until it has now become one of the greatest cities in the world. Twenty-five years of that time, Mr. Ringer has been successfully engaged in the real estate and insurance business and by dealing honestly and fairly with his army of friends and clients he has succeeded in building up one of the best known institutions of its kind in Chicago. Although his time is always well taken by this business, he has always been a leader in activities in the public behalf. He led a successful effort on the part of business men to establish a HON. CHA Republican C B Hon. Charles Krutckoff, Republican candidate for Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, was born in Old Chicago, November 1, 1871. He is a graduate of the Chicago Grammar and High Schools and later on took a two-year business course. Mr. Krutckoff was one of the first employees of the County Assessor's office. In 1905 he was promoted to Chief Clerk, which position he held until 1918, when he was elected as a member of the Board of Assessors. While ably serving as its chief clerk for so many years he was always courteous to the vast army of people ```markdown ``` vestibules for the protection of motormen and conductors of street cars. The law framed for the safety of coal miners and raising the minimum of recoverable damages in case of death from $5,000 to $10,000. Mr. Egan was elected Alderman from the old Ninth, now the Twentieth ward, in April 1907, and served during three consecutive terms, from that year to 1913, inclusive. Mr. Egan quickly became a leader in City Council affairs and achieved from the outset a reputation for ability, usefulness and devotion to the City's interest. Although he was of great service to his own ward, Mr. Egan did not confine his activities to his home district but became identified with some of the major measures of municipal legislation in which the welfare and progress of the whole city were involved. Among the ordinances he supported was the telephone bill, requiring the telephone company to submit to a provision of rates every five years. The cost of the service to the people was at the same time materially reduced. Mr. Egan voted for and supported the ordinance fixing the maximum rates to be charged for power, heat and light. This was an ordinance framed and passed in the interest of trade, home life, the consumers, in short, all the people. As a member of the Finance Committee of the Council, Mr. Egan advocated increases in the pay of city policemen and firemen and of other deserving municipal employees After retiring from the council, Mr. Egan became manager of the Torrens Department of the Recorder's Office. municipal bathing beach at Windsor Park on a half mile lake front; was active in the development of 79th street as a through thoroughfare; and has always been recognized as a powerful proponent of track elevation and elimination of grade crossings. Many other public improvements, both local and city wide, have been the result of his uniting efforts. Mr. Ringer is one of the most prominent Masons in this country. His fraternal and business associations are many, including the Masonic, Chicago Lodge No. 4, B. P. O. E., Odd Fellows, Loyal Order of Moose, Knights of Pythias, Phi Kappa Tau, Press Club and Hamilton Club of Chicago, the Windsor Park and Cheltenham Business Men's Association, of which he is president, Chamber of Commerce, Chicago Real Estate Board, and other business and improvement associations. He is closing his eighth year as a ARLES KRU candidate for M board of Assesso whom he came in contact with each day and by being very polite at all times and by always wearing a pleasant smile on his honest face, he made thousands of warm friends among all classes of his fellow citizens who will stand by him to the end of time. Mr. Krutckoff's long service with the Board of Assessors eminently fits him for re-election Tuesday, November 4. Aside from being a member of the Board of Assessors of-Cook County, Mr. Krutckoff measures arms with the successful business men in this city for some time past he has been president of the Norris. Ward ```markdown ``` Under Recorder Connery, Mr. Egan's energetic methods resulted in unprecedented increase in the business of the poor man's system of title guarantee. Mr. Egan extended its benefits as never before. In 1914, Mr. Egan was appointed Chief Clerk of the Board of Election Commissioners by the late Judge Thomas F. Scully. As a result of his great organizing powers and his constant and faithful attention to duty, honest elections, a free ballot and fair count were the rule in all elections held during the four years of Mr. Egan's service as Chief Clerk. It was through Mr. Egan's effort that the personnel of the army of election officials was so greatly improved as to meet public commendations. In 1918, Mr. Egan was elected Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago. "Mr. Egan has made his office what it ought to be—a public office run for the public," said Attorney Colin C. H. Fyffe. "Indeed, that has been the keynote of all his work in public office—that he was there for the sake of giving the public a little better than the best service they could be given." Three thousand lawyers have commended his conduct of that office. Mr. Egan has been a diligent, conscientious, capable public official. He has been loyal to every trust. We believe you will agree that his fine record entitles him to re-election as Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago. Re-election day Tuesday, November 4th. RINGER e-Election as Assessors member of the Board of Assessors of which he is now chairman. His administration of that office has given him a reputation as an extremely fair, reasonable public official, always ready and willing to give his personal service and attention to any call. As a candidate for re-election he offers qualifications that can only be gained by experience, a pleasing personality and sound business judgment. Mr. Ringer, who was born in Nova Scotia in 1874, and who came to this city while he was a very small boy, is happily married and resides with his family in a beautiful home at 7251 Crandon avenue. There is one more thing that can be truthfully said in behalf of Mr. Ringer and that is that he has proven himself to be one of the true friends of the colored people and they will on Tuesday, November 4, vote in favor of his re-election for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County.

Martin B. Madden in the Halls of Congress Almost Single-Handed and Alone, for the Past Twenty Years He Has Stood Up in the Lower | House of Congress and Has Unflinchingly | Championed the Righteous Cause of the | Colored People in the United States Read the following record of Hon. Martin B. Madden on his untiring la- bors on behalf of his everlasting or steadfast friendship for the colored race, in and out of Congress, for it speaks for itself. It has been wisely stated that to prepare a minute or a detailed history of Congressman Madden's record and activities in behalf of the colored race in this country would extend from this city to New York City and back to Chicago. The following may be inter- ‘esting reading to those who are not so familiar with his work to judge for themselves how conscientious and ef- fective his efforts have been in the halls of Congress for more than twen- ty years, Congressman Madden, who will be re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois on Tuesday, November 4, has always been recognized as one of the most iairaminded men in Congress, All through his career he has be- lieved in and advocated a single cit- izenship as provided by the Constitu- tion and has always been very insistent that mo person under the American flag should be denied any privilege or protection accorded by the terms of the Constitution, Mr. Madden’s speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on February 27, 1909, in defense of the “Brownsville Soldiers” should be suf- ficient to entitle him to the gratitude ‘of the colored element of our citizen- ship if he had done nothing else dur- ing his career, but"fis record through- out is replete with manifestations of interest in the colored people. During the control of the country by the Democrats Mr. Madden wa: especially watchful of the interests of the colored race, and fortunately so ‘The official tecords show that during the 63rd Congress many bills inimical to the colored people were introduced by Southern Democrats and pressed for passage, and but for the efforts of Mr. Madden many of these would have been enacted into law. We call your attention to three of these bills: H. R. 13772 introduced by Congressman Edwards of Georgia entitled, “A bill to segregate Govern- ment employees of the white race from those of African blood or descent;’ H. R. 5958, by Congressman Aswell of Louisiana, entitled, “A bill to effect certain reforms in the civil service by segregating clerks and employees o} the white race from those of African blood or descent;” H. R. 6150, intro- duced by the now Senator Pat Har- rison of Mississippi, “To require stree railways carrying passengers in thei cars within the District of Columbic to provide equal but ‘separate accom modations for the white and coloreé races, and to prescribe punishment and penalties for violating its pro. visions.” ‘There were many others of this character, but we simply cite the three and ask our readers if he can imagine anything more un-American than ar effort by the Democrats to put suck laws uyon our statute books in viola. tion of the provisions of the Consti tution, Had it not been for Mr, Madden these bills would have been enacted into law, and in connection with hi fight against these measures we find in the Congressional Recdrd of June 8, 1914, a speech entitled, “Historica Parallel Drawn by Honorable Martin B. Madden, on the loyalty of the col- ‘ored soldier versus the proposed seg regation of colored people,” which is z masterful presentation of the rights of the colored race, ‘Then we call ‘attention to Mr. Mad iden’s fight against the unjust African exclusion amendment to the immigra- tion bill of 1915, added as an amend. ment by a Democratic Senate, and to the denunciations heaped upon him by the Southern Democrats because of his desire to see justice done. In 1915 a bill was being considered crime. Mr. Madden was successful in his efforts to defeat this bill, and a short extract from his speech in the House on January 1, 1915, will, we are sure, convince the most skeptical that his position was right and just: “Mr. Speaker, I am opposed to the intermarriage of the races. The Ne- groes themselves are opposed to such marriages, The Negroes are willing to confine their marriages to their own race, indeed they would prefer that, but they have a right to demand that the women of their race shall not be considered the legitimate prey of the men of other races.” On April 24, 1916, during the con- sideration of H. R. 13048, a bill to amend the Juvenile Court act in and for the District of Columbia, Con- gressman Frank Clark of Florida, a Southern Democrat, offered the fol- lowing amendment: “That in the ad- ministration of this act the white and Negro children shall be kept entirely separate, and under no condition shall they be sent to or kept in the same institution, and that no probation of- ficer shall be appointed to deal with or in anywise look after any child of a different race to that of which such probation officer is a member.” It is neediess to say that through Mr. Mad- den’s efforts this amendment was de- feated. Mr, Madden has been one of the strongest advocates of the anti-lynch- ing bill, and it was because of his insistence and leadership that the measure was passed through -the House in the last Congress. In this connection we find in the Congres- sional Record of January 10, 1922, an extremely interesting speech by Mr. Madden on this subject. Howard unuversity, a college for colored students in the District of Co- lumbia, is a private institution, but for many years it has been the practice of the Federal Government to make an annual appropriation to help in the maintenance of the institution. It is interesting to note what Mr. Madden has done for the University. In the first year of his membership on the Appropriations Committee, the aid granted by the Federal Government ‘was but $51,600. Mr, Madden has beefi able to increase this amount from year to year and for the current year he secured an appropriation of $365,- 000. In addition to this large appro- priation Mr. Madden was able to se- cure authority and money for the erec- tion of an assembly hall,” gymnasium, armory, athletic and drill field, and concrete stands, the total cost of which is $197,500. These improve- ments are now being completed. The same can be said of Mr. Mad- den’s interest in Freedmen's Hospital. In his first year in Congress the ap- Propriation for the hospital was $28,000. For the current year the appropriation is $174,700, and in addition to this a new medical building with equipment is just being completed at a cost of $78,700, Mr. Madden voted for the loan to Liberia and has always taken a keen interest in the affairs of this Republic. In the appropriation bill for the Dis- trict of Columbia for the current year Mr. Madden provided for the construc- tion of a bathing beach, tennis courts, a golf course, and other recreation cen- ters for the colored people of Wash- ington. - ‘The official records of the Veterans Bureau show that Mr. Madden has been interested in the adjustment of ‘over 5,000 claims for compensatiun, in- surance and allowances of colored sol- diers of the late war. ; In addition to this, through Mr. Madden's efforts, special facilities have been provided for the care of sick and wounded colored. soldiers in the vari- ‘ous Government hospitals throughout the country. % 4 ‘The opportunity offered to the voters Jof the First District should not be passed over lightly. We should avail ourselves of the privilege of returning to Congress a man so distinguished in public affairs of the nation and so faithful to the best interests of the people of this district. The chairmanship of the Appropria- tions Committee, held by Mr. Madden, was never so important as now. The position has been occupied in the past by such men as James A. Garfield, Samuel Randall and Joseph G. Can- non, the latter two of whom were elevated to the Speakership. The pres- ent Speaker of the House has just been nominated for the Senate in Massa- chusetts, The most logical man for Speaker and the one most urged to succeed Mr. Gillett is Representative Madden. We cannot afford to let such an unusual honor pass from this Con- gressional District by failing to return him to the House. Mr, Madden's pubtic record is filled with true achievement, he is a loyal and ardent Republican, he is a real na- tional character, and an asset to the people not only of the First District and Chicago, but the nation.

M. The yearly reports were unusually inter- esting and inspiring; they gave evi- dence of the steady growth of the Home in usefulness and influence. It was with sincere regard that Mrs. Irene B. Moore's resignation as recording secretary was received. Mrs, Moore has served in that office for two years most efficiently. As it happened to be her birthday the Board treated all Present to delicious ice cream and a huge pink iced cake made in her hon- or by Mrs. Minnie A. Collinse, vice- president.

Both gave inspiring land eloquent addresses. Several other ‘visitors were present, whose names we failed to get. The club is planning a rummage ‘sale and bazaar in the near future. ‘The year book outlines the work for The first scene “In Egypt Land,” was typical of this “once great em- pire.” The costumes with their trim- mings made a very pretty scene and the ensemble was a striking picture, with the background of trees, flowers and grass, natural as life itself. The scene of the “slave market” and “the cotton fields” were very well “done” but this scene to the writer's view was not essential to portray the rapid rate of progress “from darkness to light,” that seemed the paramount idea of the pageant “Milestones.” It showed the wicked “Legree” minus the angel faced “Eva” the flash of the whip which struck terror to the heart of the bowed down slaves and made them lift up their hearts to God in the singing of many plantation melodies, which were very soothing but when coupled with exclamations as “Glory to God,” and “Amen” which came so frequently from the group of so-called slaves, almost made it seem a farce. This scene, as I said before, I don't think was necessary to picture the strides of our people. It reminds me of the heated battle waged in our city some months ago to keep “The Birth of a Nation” from being cast upon the screen because of the feeling of ani- mosity that it would create between the races, yet they allow these scenes to be enacted digging up the past with its heart breaks and sorrows, and clothe it in the name of progress and it is all right. “Oh, consistency thou lart a rare and precious jewel!” The tribute to Col. Charles” Young was a beautiful scene and needs to be dwelt upon for its originality” and the patience which must have been prevalent to have produced such a strong picture, It was a high tribute to the honor of the Colonel and needs to be highly commended. Flanders Field was a remarkable seene. It showed to my mind, one of the greatest strides made in human progress. In return for protection to our home and country, family and friends, what can we give more—than our blood for the preservation of our country? - % All in all, with the few exceptions, “Milestones” was a grand success. It points the way for a greater Milestone which we are looking forward to, we fare ever looking forward and not backward. ‘Miss Ada Crogman received many compliments for the splendid director- ship and graceful way in which this production was handled.

In granting her petition today, Judge F. L. Anderson in District court stipulated that she must pay Frank Meiser $200 alimony, pay $175 doctor bill, $175 hospital bills, and $300 attorney's fees. In addition she was ordered to support their three minor children. Meiser in asking for alimony said that when his wife brought suit for divorce he was forced to leave her hotel, and as that was the only busi- ness he knew he was deprived of the means of earning a living. He asked for $500. PAYING TELLER BROUGHT BACK TO FACE CouRT Leroy Lovig, 1901 Prarie avenue, and William H.

FASHIONABLE WEDDING One of the prettiest weddings of the four hundred was witnessed in Shiloh Baptist Church in Englewood, Saturday evening, Oct. 18th at 8:30 P.M. Long before this hour the church was filled to overflowing: and many more were obliged to remain on the outside to see the bridal party as it entered the church. The beautiful and tastily decorated altar reminded ‘one of a palm garden trimmed with the pretty red leaves of autumn, and large palms, behind which stood a chorus of young ladies of the bride's ‘Sunday school class who wished to show their love for their teacher on this happy occasion. A violin solo beautifully rendered was the next ‘number, after which Mrs, Sneed sang. ‘The wedding march was then played and the pretty procession began with th little Misses Young, Dawson, Marion Wheatley and Jane Smith. They were the ribbon bearers and flower girls. Master Drakey Brown was the ring bearer and little Miss Felice Gavarro as Dan Cupid with drawn bow and arrow was very at- tractive. Miss Zenoba Lewis, maid of honor, was prettily gowned in pink charmeuse trimmed in white ostrich feathers, Miss Pope, orchid georgette heavily beaded, Louise Robinson, can- ton crepe white fur trimmed, Ursel Woolfolk, pale yellow canton crepe, fur trimmed, Obeline Fields, pale green georgette heavily beaded, Grace Daily, flame red embroided chiffon with Eider Down trimmings, Ola Payne, beaded georgette, and Pearl Adams, burnt orange georgette beaded, each carrying large ostrich fans matching their beautiful gowns. The gentlemen in the full evening dress were Claude Jackson, Lloyd Smith, Russel, Johnson, George Wil- liams, Clark, Jas. McCoo, Thomas Adams and Joe Woolfolk. Last but not least came the handsome couple who were to be made one, with their attendants, Miss Lillian Woolfolk and Mr. J. C. Clark. The bride wore a beautiful cream white velvet gown solidly hand beaded, blouse and train, with pearls and irredescent beads, draped and falling in pretty cascade effect in front over which fell the ribbons and flowers from the beautiful shower boquet and the train covered by the long white veil caught up and held in place by the magnificent crown of pearls was indeed a pretty picture. The happy couple—were pone man and wife by Rev. Harris, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Madame Claire who had the extreme pleasure ‘of making this lovely bridal gown, stands in a class by herself and has trained many of our women in the art of hand beading and dress mak- ing, and every girl. was delighted to help make up this beautiful gown, de- signed by Madam Claire. Her interest did not cease with the making of the Pretty gowns, but she assisted the party in every way to help make the wedding and reception the brilliant success that it was. Over four hundred friends attended the reception at the bride's home immediately after the ‘ceremony. Mrs. Jordan was mistress ‘of ceremony. The couple are at home to friends at 4345 Indiana ave. Mrs. Woolfolk, mother of the bride, wore a beautiful gown of gray silk trimmed in cut steele beads. They have lived in Chicago many years and have a host of friends. RACE SUICIDE MENACE TOLD HARVARD DAMES BY PRESIDENT ELIOT Cambridge, Mass.—Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, deplored the growth of race suicide Thursday in an address before the Harvard Dames, a society of women whose husbands, sons, or brothers are students in Harvard uni- versity. He told them that for both men and women marriage is the most important event in life, and he lauded ‘motherhood as far surpassing any other career open to woman. “It is a disconcerting fact,” said the venerable educator, now in this ninety- first year, “that the number of chil dren in the family iy rapidly diminish- ing not only among the British-Amer- ican people but in all the European races. “This is one of the formidable things facing the future of civilized society. But it is no reason why we should not do our utmost to change that sort of thing. I hope you all realize that there is no career for women which compares in promise of all the rewards of living with that of being the mother of a family.” hhension the fact that families whose names have appeared in Harvard's quinquennial catalogue through five, six, and seven generations are no ae 4 oy een os WE NS Soh joa gh Sa Saal — HON.

OSCAR WOLFF AS CORONER Efficient and faithful service in public office merits reward. One of the most outstanding cases of strict attention to the duties imposed upon him is exemplified by our present Coroner Hon. Oscar Wolff, and all citizens of Chicago and Cook County, irrespective of party affiliation, and especially those citizens of our race, should leave no stone unturned or no act omitted that will assist in returning to office one of the most valued public servants the electorate of Cook County have ever selected for office. The reforms instituted by Coroner Wolff in the methods of conducting his office have been called to your attention in a previous article. The careful selection of reputable and responsible citizens to serve as jurors in investigating deaths by violence and fixing the responsibility; the thorough investigation of deaths due to reckless and careless drivers of motor vehicles, the cost of which is at present being paid by Coroner Wolff out of his private funds because the Judges of the Circuit Court have refused him the help necessary to conduct investigations in the manner he has 107 1930 107 HON.

Believes In Race Equality Coroner Wolff not only believes in race equality, but practices what he preaches. No previous Coroner has ever appointed one of our race as a deputy in his office, but Coroner Wolff, when he first took this office, realizing the increasing influence exerted by citizens of our race in the development of the City of Chicago, appointed Mr. E. M. Cleaves as Deputy Coroner, the first colored man to be honored in this respect, and he still holds this position to the credit of himself, and the colored people of Chicago and Cook County. Mr. Cleaves is well known among our 1930 the Municipal Court of Chicago friends of the Colored Race in candidate for re-election to his exe GREAT REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING HELD AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL LAST SUNDAY EVENING. HON. HARVEY A. WATKINS, CHAIRMAN OF THE METROPOLITAN SUNDAY EVENING CLUB, ABLY PRE-SIDED. CONGRESSMAN MORTON D. HULL, CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MADDEN, HON JOSEPH F. HAAS, HON. HARRY OLSON, HON. ROBERT E. CROWE, HON. ALBERT B. GEORGE, HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN, HON. EDWARD H. WRIGHT, REV. W. D. COOK AND HON. JAMES A. KEARNS WERE THE LEADING ORATORS OF ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST RESPONSIVE MEETINGS SO FAR HELD AMONG THE PEOPLE IN CHICAGO. Last Sunday evening, one of the greatest Republican mass meetings ever held in Chicago, was held at the Wendell Phillips High School, Pershing road and Prairie avenue, under the direction of the Metropolitan Sunday Evening Club, Hon. H. A. Watkins, chairman and presiding. It was a live meeting from beginning to end and the talks on the part of all the orators were pitched in high keys and there was no mud slinging on their part. Hon. Morton D. Hull, member of Congress from the Second Congressional District of Illinois, being the first speaker of the evening. Hon. Albert B. George, Republican candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago was the second speaker, and he urged the vast audience to be careful on Tuesday, November 4, and vote for every Republican candidate on the little judicial ballot for Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago and then turn around and mark an X in the circle at the top of the Republican column and vote for every candidate on it people and to him we are indebted for the information contained in this article. He is our friend, always courteous and obliging, and he has repeatedly demonstrated that when one of our race is given the opportunity he will make good, and this was only made possible by the appreciative act of Coroner Wolff in providing this opportunity for one of our race. In conclusion we want to forcefully impress upon our constituents and readers that the salvation of the colored people of this city and county lies in co-operation, and when officials in high public office by their acts show a willingness to administer justice impartially and co-operate with us to the fullest extent, it is patent that the future welfare of the colored people demands that we show our appreciation for fairness and justice and that this work, so well begun, should be encouraged, and we know of no better way of showing the people of the City and County that we appreciate what is done for us than by returning to office Coroner Oscar Wolff by the largest majority ever given a public official, who has so convincingly demonstrated his worth to all the citizens of this community. HON. TMOMAS A. DOYLE WILI BE RE-ELECTED TO CONGRESS FROM THE 4TH DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS (Concluded from page 1) Having been a postal worker himself and being well acquainted with the almost intolerable conditions under which they work; one can readily see the feeling of happiness with which he was filled when he cast his vote in favor of the increase in salary for Postal Employees. This measure was vetoed by the President but it is almost certain to be passed, the President's veto to the contrary notwithstanding, when Congress reconvenes in December. It is almost useless to state that Congressman Doyle will be re-elected to Congress from the 4th Congressional District of Illinois on Tuesday November 4th.

In his eloquent remarks, he paid a high tribute to Hon. Len Small, the honest hard roads governor of the great state of Illinois and freely predicted his re-election and in a burst of eloquence he declared that Hon. Martin B. Madden, the noblest Roman of them all, would be re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois; that Hon. Morton D. Hull would be returned to Congress from the Second District; that the top notch Republican candidates in this city, county and state would win out all along the line on Tuesday, November 4. Hon.

THE FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL PRINCE HALL GRAND LODGE OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF ILLINOIS AND JURISDICTION Has been held and passed into history. A retrospective view will not injure, but possibly might be profitable, for future sessions. From the gallery of the Presbyterian Church, many interesting things were noted. While we admit there was but little legislation, many ancient usages and customs were vigorously fought by the younger Masons, and as strongly defended by the older Masons, who won out in every battle against the unwritten laws of the fraternity. Numerous progressive propositions were offered and defeated by inexperienced masters and some of those old masters who passed out of office years ago and have not been attending the sessions of the grand lodge. Laws governing the finance of the grand lodge and the Masonic and Eastern Star Home were ignored, and funds which should have been used for the purchase of a new home were transferred to the grand lodge funds and lavishly spent for nought. With a new official staff, we are hopeful for many changes in their systems of conducting the business of the grand lodge. It required a day and a half to elect the officers, when they could have been elected on the second ballot. The committees on jurisprudence and auditing could have been ready to report the second day if the laws on when to send in reports were enforced. The committee on return of lodges could have been ready to report Wednesday morning if the secretary would compile the returns as they come to his office. Much time is wasted in different ways and the officials are not performing the duties as required. The resolution presented by Mt.Hebron Lodge in relation to the Masonic Home should re Cook County, Hon. Harry Olson, Chief Justice of the Municipal Court of Chicago, Hon. Charles S. Deneen, Republican candidate for United States Senator from Illinois, who was introduced by Attorney P. B. W. Brown, and he brought down the house in doing so. Rev. W. D. Cook, the honest and eloquent pastor of his flock, Hon. Joseph F. Haas, Republican candidate for re-election for Recorder of Deeds of Cook County; Hon. James A. Kearns, Clerk of the Municipal Court of Chicago and Hon. John K. Lawler, Republican candidate for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, were the leading orators on that wonderful history making occasion. The Pullman Porters' Band of forty pieces, ably directed by Capt. W. Carey, rendered several selections of soul inspiring music during the meeting. Miss Sadie Lyons rendered a highly pleasing solo and Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., was the head line soloists for the evening and special music was furnished by the Metropolitan Choir, under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones. celive careful consideration at the hands of the new officers. We know that, according to reports of last year, $3,500.00 only was spent for support of the home, and most of the funds for the home were transferred to the grand lodge fund and spent, which was in violation to law. The man in the gallery was astounded at the bills paid for committee work that was not allowed by law. The reports show that there is 13,703 members in the jurisdiction instead of the boasted 15,000. The total $13,481.00 due; amount paid was $11,380.35, with $1,738.50 due from previous years and no effort made to collect. In the Home Fund, less the expenditures, $8,898.56, the grand lodge closed with a balance of only $761.34, and there is room for much improvement in handling the funds of both grand lodge and the home. No donations were reported other than from lodges and auxiliary bodies to the home. Warrants were granted eight new lodges, and nine cornerstones were laid during the year. An attempt was made to tax every member in the jurisdiction $3.00 to help build the temple at 56th and State streets, but was defeated by the brothers outside the city, with the aid of some of those here. A resolution was sent the attorney general at Washington and to Walter Cohen, the collector of customs at New Orleans, about the lawsuit started at New Orleans against the Colored race not being citizens of this country. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Grand master, Dr. J. C. Ellis, Decatur, Ill.; deputy grand master, John C. Barnes of Springfield; senior warden, Charles S. Sims of Chicago; junior warden, A. W. Ford, Chicago, Ill.; treasurer, Dr. W. B. Beatty, Cairo; grand secretary, R. A. Jackson, Chicago; grand lecturer, George B. Forte, Chicago. The appointive officers are: Assistant secretary, W. I. Thomas, Chicago; auditors, C. L. Hill and George Crissup of Chicago, and Harry Wilson, Springfield; trustees, R. G.

Let us hope for much improvement this coming year. The committee on foreign correspondence and the names of district deputies and the attorney were not announced.

LESS CLOTHES "AID TO MORALS" Tourists Prove Too Much Competition for Scantily Clad Chorus Girls Detroit.—That wholesome moral effects will follow on the radical scantiness of feminine attire which is now the mode is asserted by a leading French student of the psychology of dress. "Fewer and better clothes" seems to be the style motto of the Summer season. Theatrical managers who have always been able to exploit the feminine figure as a box office attraction are worried because the incoming tourists will not pay admission to the shows where there is so little difference between what is worn on the stage and the street. Jean Rameau, in discussing the aesthetic, psychological, ethical and philosophical aspects of the new styles, says they are beneficial.

Arvey will be Elected Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County With the election day only several weeks off, the headquarters of Hon. Mitchell C. Robin, Democratic candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County, has received the endorsements of thousands of Republicans as well as Democrats. His campaign headquarters has been opened at Room 402, 10 N. Clark street, and in Room 311, the Sherman House, and from the daily reports received by his campaign manager, there is no doubt that Mr. Robin will be the next Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County. Mr. Robin was born and raised in this city and educated in its public and high schools. While a young man, he served as a Precinct Committeeman under Hon. Dennis J. Egan, Balliff of the Municipal Court. He later was With the nomination of Alderman J. M. Arvey of the 24th Ward for Judge of the Superior Court, the Democratic party has placed for election a man who has given considerable service to the community while a member of the City Council. Alderman Arvey is a member of the Press Club, Ancient Order of Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Eastern Star, and other philanthropic and fraternal organizations. He was assistant State's Attorney in 1918, 1919 and 1920 and has made hosts of friends. At the preset time, he is chairman of Mayor Dever's Radio Commission and a member of the Transportation Committee.

Otis B. Duncan commanding, and its famous band, with five or six other bands, presented a grand sight which will long be remembered as they wended their way through the streets prior to and after the laying of the corner stone. Between 30 and 35 thousand people witnessed the ceremonies of laying the corner stone by Grand Master Thomas H. Samuel. The following were the order of the exercises: Master of Ceremonies, Robert W.

Emmett Whalen, County Commissioner; Hon. Thomas F. Byrne, Democratic candidate for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, and Hon. B. W.

He was then made Deputy Clerk in the office of the late John W. Rainey, Clerk of the Circuit Court, where he gained the experience necessary to conduct an efficient office. After serving for a short time as member of the Real Estate Board of the Sanitary District of Chicago, he was appointed a member of the Board of Local Improvements by Mayor William E. Dever, where he has made a wonderful record for himself and where he has gained commendation for his integrity, ability and honesty. Mr. Robin, like his bosom friend, Hon. Michael Rosenberg, has always been very friendly to the colored race and has shown his kindly disposition toward them as Assistant Secretary of the Board of Local Improvements. lic service, Alderman Arvey has served the public efficiently and honestly and with a view of giving the public a square deal. Alderman Arvey has shown his ability as a legislature and it is believed that he will be an honor to the bench of the Superior Court and he will be elected on November 4. Both men and women can vote for him. Alderman Arvey is an open enemy of the Ku Klux Klan and has introduced resolutions in the Council condemning the movement as un-American. It is expected that all who have appreciation of Liberty, love and justice wil vote for him. Former Mayor William H. Thomp- members of this ancient and honorable fraternity and representatives of all of its parent bodies, including friends and co-workers, upon this grand and notable occasion, my heart is overjoyed with the realization that within a very short time the Masonic fraternity will have to its credit a magnificent temple second to none in the country. From the beginning of time Masons have build temples and have carved emblems on stone, which has given generation to generation down to the present day inspiration to emulate them in every way so that succeeding generations will see and know that we have done something. When this edifice is completed it will shine with all the glory of the present day as that of King Solomon's Temple, which we hope will prosper, by becoming a place of concourse for good men, and promoting harmony and brotherly love throughout the world, till time shall be no more. Although we may have seemed somewhat slow to outsiders in commencing this work so vitally important and essential to our welfare, we nevertheless have our foundation—and it is a good one, and the progress we have made thus far, as is evidenced before us, is the natural result of unity and co-operation. It now becomes the duty of each and every one of us as men and Masons, to concentrate our efforts in completing the work so nobly started. Such an accomplishment will not only be a reflection of credit and pride to the fraternity in Illinois, but it will serve as an inspiration to the Craft throughout the country and an incentive to other fraternities of the group with which we are identified to do likewise. In Chicago, it will only be in keeping with the great progress that has been made in other lines of endeavor. An organization is judged not by its name but what it has accomplished and such a temple erected will do more to elevate the standard of our fraternity than anything else, and it is needless to speak of the respect it will command. Therefore, an earnest appeal is made to all to concentrate every effort to the fulfillment of this great Masonic ideal. Remember this, and that is, if after going this far we should fail in our endeavor through lack of co-operation, the effect would be so demoralizing as to retard any such progress in this direction for the next twenty years. Realizing and appreciating the necessity of this temple, I am sure that the completion of this important work is a matter of deep and grave concern to all. I take this opportunity of thanking those who are engineering and bring about the completion of this gigantic undertaking and hope that the Supreme Architect of the Universe will approve and smile kindly upon their work and permit them to carry on, to the end that the Prince Hall Masonic Temple will become a beacon light to the world with all its glory and splendor. and there is no doubt that the South Side will roll up a large vote for him for Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County on Tuesday, November 4th. If elected, Mr. Robin pledges that he will conduct his office efficiently and with kind consideration towards every citizen, regardless of race, creed or color and that he will administer all duties of the office of Clerk of Superior Court in the spirit of co-operation, friendliness and helpfulness. In conclusion Mr. Robin always deports himself like a true gentleman and we feel confident that in every way he is well fitted to become the new Clerk of the Superior Court and we urge the many friends and readers of this newspaper to rally to his support on Tuesday, November 4th. Elected Judge Cook County son has appealed through the columns of the public press from time to time, to his white and colored friends to vote against Harry B. Miller for Judge of the Superior Court and Mayor Thompson honestly feels that Mr. Miller would never make a high class judge, that he is bossed over too much by Fred Lundin, and if elected to the Superior Court Bench of Cook County, he would be forced to do the bidding of Col. Lundin. It would be very pleasing no doubt to Mayor Thompson if his hundreds of thousands of white and colored friends in this city and county could see their way clear to vote for Hon Jacob M. Arvey for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. ENVY By Madam Bertha L.

BINGA STATE BANK During the entire week the building was packed with visitors, friends and patrons, eager to inspect what already is called the Seventh Wonder of Chicago. The building was erected at the cost of $150,000.00 and was designed by experts for the sake of both architectural beauty and the durability and safety so necessary to banking institutions. It is Ionic in structure and composed of St. Genevieve Marble, a costly imported Italian marble, and the most durable stone on the market. The lighting effects, the Ladies' Department, the General Banking Room, the Counting Room, the kitchenette and the private offices of the officials and directors of the bank are beyond comparison. But chief interest is the Subway Vault Rooms, which one reaches by a marble stairway. Inside of the protecting grille, at the foot of the stairs, is a large vault door weighing twenty tons. This door and many inches of steel and concrete protect the alloted space for four thousand safe deposit boxes varying in size. The vaults are equipped with 16-inch burglar-proof solid steel doors, which have quadruple time locks. were testimonial of their good wishes for the continued success of this institution. The Binga State Bank was founded by Jesse Binga October, 1908. Its growth and astounding success have been due to his vision and his persistency and business and business judgment.

This fact is well known among his hite friends and colored friends as well as a real friend of Negro free- dom. He is one of the most eminent law- yers in this city and im every way he has the great legal ability and train- « for a high class Judge of any court in this city and_state. Through his prominent position in the Chicago Bar Association he has from time to time been able to defend the Negroes as a group from various pieces of propaganda work started with the intent of retarding the prog- ress of Negroes in Chicago. In a paper read by Mr. Packard before the law club several years ago he came out very definitely in defense of those things that would place the Negro on a par with any other group of citizens.

DOCTOR GEORGE C. HALL Last week Dr. George C. Hall in a letter to his thousands of friends sounded the praises of Mr. Packard in the following manner: . Chicago, Oct. 16. To the Colored People of Chicago:— _ In urging the election of Mr. George Packard, candidate for Municipal Judge on the Democratic little ballot, I feel that I am doing a service to the colored people of the community. Here is a real opportunity to put upon the bench a man who has always been outspoken in his sympathy with our interests, both in word and deed. Mr. Packard is a lawyer of standing, and a life-long associate of the late Judge Edw. Osgood Brown. He was a mem- ber for many years of the Chicago Board of the N.A.A.C.P., a supporter of Douglass Center, and a friend of Booker T. Washington. His voice and pen have often been used in the in- terest of race equality. I believe the colored people of this community are missing a real oppor- tunity if they do not work for Mr. Packard's election. Partisanship has no place in the selection of men for pub- lic service on this great people's court. It should be your duty and pleasure to see that he is elected. Very sincerely, GEO. C. HALL, M. D. To the above we say Amen! Amen! Editor, in favor of his election for one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. Two of the leading newspapers o} Chicago and the Municipal Voters League, sound the praises of Alder- man Link, as follows: “Fought against experting and ex travagances,” Chicago Tribune. “His record has been of high quality.” “At times he stood almost alone in bat- tling for the tax payers and for de cency in the handling of Municipal affairs,” Daily News. “Man of high character and excellent record,” Mu nicipal Voters’ League. ‘Alderman Link always conduct: himself like a high class gentleman and with his past splendid record he richly deserves to be selected one_of the Trustees of the Sanitary Distrie of Chicago. ‘These roses under MY eR ‘no reference to former roses oF 10 better ones; they are for what they ‘are; they exist with God today.

One is that the goddess ‘Hina lived underneath the falls in a cave and that the dragon Kunamoo tried to down her by throwing up a dam below the falls She called for ‘aid to ber son Maul, who at the time was trying to lasso the sun at a dis- tant point because of the complaint by the natives of the shortness of the Summer season. The fable has it that the son in his cance crosted the ocean from a nearby island in two strokes and chased the dragon to what is known as the “Boiling Pots,” where he threw red-hot stones Into the wa- ter, scalded the monster and finally killed him. The Naha stone, one of the histori- cal relics of the Hawaiian islands, is found on the grounds of the Hilo pub- Ue library, An old prophecy concern- ing the Naha stone was that he who could move it would be king of the island of Hawaii, but that to him who could overturn it would be given sovereignty over all the islands In the group. Kamehameha the Great, who finally conquered all the other Is- lands, visited the Island in his youth to test the efficacy of the prophecy, and, having succeeded in turning the stone, was so Inspired that he en- tered upon the career which ended in the union of all the Hawaiian islands under his control.

Dried Rice Fatal to One Houshold Pest Whence do all the beetles, ants and Ales come that swarm about the house, and particularly in the kitchen and larder? And what is the best way to get rid of them? These two questions are always very much in the mirds of householders. ‘The first is not easy to answer. ‘The intrusiveness of beetles and cock- roaches is something uncanny. They are found down deep mines, and they appear in new ships the moment steam Is raised, Wherever there is a moist heat there they come quickly. ‘The entry of ants into a house Is often traceable to some opening near the ground, such as a ventilator. Moths come In through the open win- dows after the lamps are lighted. Win- dows closed or guarded by mosquito aettings after lighting up time should keep them out, ‘The ant is, of course, intelligent But ground rice, it 1s said, finds his weakness. Sprinkle the rice in bls track, and he will eat of it greedily. Then it swetls within him and kills him, But the rice must not be thrown down on a wet floor or it will swell before he eats it, and he will come to no harm. Enclish Law a Paradox One may be fined for stopping a dog Aight or not stopping a dog fight. But the post office can record something even better, the Manchester Guardian relates, At a seaside town a man walked into a post office followed by ‘a huge dog. A woman was already at the public counter, and she also had a dog. The two dogs began to fight. ‘The man did not attempt to inter- fere. He appealed to the girl assist- ant, who was on the safe side of the counter, to come over and part the combatants. She declined, very nat- urally. Eventually the turmoll ceased, ‘and then the dog owner lodged a com- piaint with the postmaster that his subordinate had permitted confusion In the office and upset the public.

It was Friday night that I got in ‘the bed car headed for this place, reaching here Saturday morning. I went to sleep just after leaving Chi- jcago, and a man shook my bed and told me “Just fifty minutes out of Cleveland.” I got up took a hot water bath, and by the time I was through I was in Cleveland. ‘The Rev. Dr. Mack T. Williams met me with a smile that would do credit to the Gold Dust Twins, He assured me that I was welcome to Cleveland, that they were looking for me, and this was the place I should be. He was joined by many in this welcome, and I am find- ing out that we have many people here who will vote for the first time, although they have been old enough to do so, some too old to eat hay, but have been where Democrats controlled things and would not permit them to vote, and they are not going to the hands of their oppressors by any damphuleishness that might be of- fered. He had with him his automobile car carriage, and soon had me and all of my luggage into it, and toted me over to his home, where I was greeted by ‘one of the most unique characters of the age, Dr. W. H. Moses, the man who can say more common. sense things ina minute than it would take the other fellow a generation to think about, and he can do many things in the pulpit. He shook my lily black hands and told me welcome, Tt was not long before Dr. Williams had toted into his office where I met the Rev. Dr, Charles L. Fisher, of Birmingham, Ala, who is returning to his flock after his vacation, and he is going there to preach like—well wait and hear him. Dr. Fisher is one of the gréat preachers of the age, well educated. I like to touch scholars, for I get inspiration from them, so here I am with Dr. W. H. Moses, Dr. C. L. Fisher and Dr. Mack T. Wil Tiams, Thank God I am satisfied. JAS. B. McCAHEY, President PHILIP J. DUNN, Secretary _ ; FRANK J. DUNN, Vice-President H. X. COMERFORD, Treasurer : : ESTABLISHED 1877 ; JOHN J. DUNN | COAL CO.

I have an invitation from Dr, Fisher to come back to Birmingham, and he is going to give me one more big time. I may accept of this, T have been to St. Louis, Mo., and had the pleasure of being the guest of Prof. Aaron E. Malone, and Mrs Annie M, Malone, for°a whole day, and it was a day well spent. Mra. Malone has just returned from a trip to Europe, and was filled with sun- shine and roses. She had seen some more of life and at the same time had taken some of the much needed rest. She did not realize how much she needed to take the rest until she had gotten into it, Now she is able to talk about the culture, the art and lit- erature of the Old World. She can tell you about the Lady of the Lake and Sir Walter Scott, and how she visited their haunts. She can tell you about Shakespeare and many other things. She is determined to do more for her own people, and help them to become great people, and I don't blame her, but I praise her and sing her praises all over the world, if 1 could make the world hear me. God give us more like her. Now about that day. I reached St Louis from Chicago, riding in the bed car carriage over the Chicago & East. ern Illinois and right opposite my bed was the bed of Prof. Malone. I did not know he was there until I got up in St. Louis and his Pierce Arrow Convicts Pulled Street Cars ‘Years ago when Australia was the exile to which many English offenders against law and society were sent as convicts, some harsh disciplinary measures were resorted to, among them being the hitching of s'x men to & street car that traversed six or seven miles. They had to run the entire distance and the drivers lashed them when they began to tire. Six men ‘were supposed to pull a ton of weight im the way of passengers. Advice for Poets To the poet, as to every other, we say first of all, “See.” If you cannot do that, ft 1s of no use to keep string- ing rhymes together, fingling sensi- bilities against each other, and name yourself a poet; there 1s no hope for you. If you can, there is, in prose or verse, in action or speculation, all manner of hope.—Cariyle in “Heroes and Hero Worship.” Sperm Whale Valuable The most valuable catch that can be ‘made in salt water is a sperm whale, ‘A very large specimen taken off the west coast of Vancouver island was found to contain 250 pounds of am- bergris. This alone brought $150,000, while the blubber and spermaceti were worth another $8,500. The Alarm Went Of “Just as I was about to scoop up the peck of $20 bills a pink elephant stepped on my hand, caught me in his trunk, tossed me high into the alr, and I alighted in a den containing two large cerise-colored lions, who ad- vanced with jaws open, and then— the alarm clock went off. What could be sweeter?”—Shadowland. 7 automobile car carriage was right there with that polite young man to tote us out to Poro, where we had breakfast with the queen. She is just plain Mrs. Annie M. Malone, and not “Madam.” He bad a conference with her and then in that same Pierce Ar- row we went into the business end of the city. It was. just wonderful to see how doors opened to his knock. He walked into the offices of Mayor of St. Louis just like he was walking into his own, and then into the office of other effcials. He was admitted without question ‘and carried me along and one time I felt myself some man. After taking up the business side of life, then we went to 2 ball game and I will not be able to tell you all the things which took place there. It was the game of games, and I was just ooking at it. Saw men before your eyes steal and were not arrested. They ‘stole base. "In the evening we were joined at dinner by Fred Douglass and others. ‘After dinner ‘was over, we talked and talked and then off to the stable, to return to Chicago. It was a good ‘visit, and the time was spent in get- ‘ting things into shape. I will have to ‘bring this letter to a stop, for I am ‘not going to use the whole paper. I have not told you about Mrs. Geneva B, Williams, the wife of the preacher. I will tell you about her next week Send me a letter to 4823 Calumet Avenue, Chicago.» CHARLES E, STUMP. What Is a “Tinker’s Dam”? A “tinker’s dam,” says the Kansas City Star, is a wall of dongh or of soft clay raised around a spot which @ plumber, in repairing, desires to flood with solder. The material of this dam can be used only once, and is thrown away after this very tempo- rary period of usefulness. Hence the saying “not worth a tinker'’s dam,” which either through a perverse hu- mor or through misunderstanding has been converted into profanity by the addition of a final “n.” Abyssinian Alphabet Huge Abyssinia is a nation of more than 10,000,000 of whom a large percentage are illiterate, and it ts a coincidence ‘that the Abyssinian alphabet contains 236 letters. If an Abyssinian type- writer should be built on the same plan as the one used in America and European covntries, it would have nearly 500 keys, Without any extra characters it would ordinarily have 472 keys, providing 944 letters, nu merals and necessary characters. Utilizing Sun’s Heat ‘Mirrors concentrating the sun's rays are said to have yielded temperatures: as high as 2800 degrees. One pro- posed method of storing the heat is by using {t to produce chemicals that will give out heat when required on exposure to air and water, or through similar reactions. American Industries In the United States there are 900, 000 manufacturing plants, which sup ply the needs and comfort of the people of this country and other parts of the world. They use $400,000,000 ‘worth of materials yearly.

Eva Summers proves this by the lovliness that distinguishes her from a roomful of fine appearing women. "Any woman can have supreme beauty of face, and hair that will give her the proudest delight," she says, "for the simple investment of a very small sum of money in Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap, and a small amount of time each day applying these wonderful preparations as directed on the package."
