THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 6, 1924 HON. HARRY OLSON, CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO; HON. OSCAR WOLFF, CORONER OF COOK COUNTY; HON. ROBERT E. CROWE, THE GREATEST STATE'S ATTORNEY THAT COOK COUNTY HAS EVER HAD; HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS, RECORDER OF DEEDS OF COOK COUNTY. HON. JAMES A.

LYLE WAS PRESENTED WITH HIS CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION AS JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO BY HON. HARRY OLSON. HON. THOMAS O. WALLACE WAS SWORN IN AS CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY BY MR. JUSTICE FREDERIC R. DE YOUNG. On Monday morning, December 17 at 9:30 A.M., in the City Hall, Room 1109, Judge Albert B. George, the first colored man to have won the very high distinction and honor of winning a place on the Municipal bench of Chicago, was inducted into office as one of the Municipal Judges of the City of Chicago, for a term of six years. Judge George was ushered into office with much welcome, shown by the many colored people as well as white friends who, in their speeches and sending of flowers showed that their hearts were full of pride to know that among the colored race, their race, there was one found, that was able, capable and willing to administer the cause of justice and do so with the best of his judgment and temper it with as much mercy as the cause demands. Hon. Edward H. Wright was the master of ceremonies, and spoke a few words in honor of Judge George of the honesty and uprightness of the "man" of his integrity and his ability of his desire to do the best that he possibly can for the people and in that way to "honor the position given him by the citizens of the City of Chicago." He indicated that the newly elected Judge was only trying to serve the people in the best way to help them in their difficulties and to help them straighten out the things that inevitably will come, some time in our lives, regardless of our determination to steer away from it. Among the speakers of the program were: Hon. Harry Olson, Chief Justice of the Municipal Court of Chicago, who in a few remarks, said: The election of Judge Albert B. George to the bench of the Municipal Court of Chicago makes him enjoy the distinction of being the first colored man to sit on the bench of a court of record in this country. This fact makes this occasion one of the greatest in the history of the colored race. This event should have happened in the home state of Abraham Lincoln. In this time of race prejudice, national and religious hatreds, it is a fitting example brought about by the citizenship of Chicago, that this election should have been achieved by a member of the colored race. Judge George was not elected because he was a colored man, he was elected because he was an American citizen and worthy of the high position which he now holds by reason of his ability. high standing at the bar. "Our colored fellow citizens are to be congratulated by picking out such a man from their people as Judge George," he said. "There are three elements that go to make up citizenship. A great philosopher once asked the question. What would you ask if you had only one question to ask? The answer was, if I had only one question to ask, it would be this, 'Is the universe friendly?' I wish to say to Judge George that the community is friendly. This court always deals with the case without race and administers justice as it so deems fit. In my opinion the judiciary should be composed of men who are capable. For in this court they must decide on grave questions. They have no time to look over brief lawyers have spent weeks in getting together, but must decide immediately. It is for this reason that men of judgment must fill such seats and I feel that in the selection of Judge Albert George, that he will come up to all that is expected. So it is with pleasure that I take the opportunity of introducing to you Judge Albert B. George." Mr. Justice Albert C. Barnes, of the Appellate Court of Cook County, was then called upon to speak a few words on the occasion. He spoke of the significance of the event for the fact that it was the first time of the election of a Judge in this city to sit on the bench and said that he thought our people were entitled to this representation and also spoke of the ability of Judge George to act in their behalf. He was very confident that he would fill the position creditably and well. Hon. Alexander Fyle, President of the Hamilton Club, and Chairman of the Cook County Republican Committee, spoke a few words pertaining to the duty and obligation that had been thrust upon the newly elected Judge. He spoke of the different branches of the Legislature and the different duties that are to be performed by each, and in turn spoke of the duty, the great duty and great service that Judge George has the opportunity to give to his people, as Judge of the Municipal Court. He also spoke very kindly of Alderman Jackson and Anderson, and Hon. Edward H. Wright, who had spent no pains in helping to bring about this day. He spoke of their effort to put on the bench a representative of their people and they succeeded. He said, "When they first come to me with the pain, told what they wanted, I highly endorsed it and told them they were entitled to it, and that it was nothing but right that they should have this representation." He congratulated the colored people—the new Judge on their choice and also congratulated all the people of the city of Chicago in helping to put on the bench the hosent, straightforward and capable Judge. Hon. Robt. R. Jackson, of the third ward, and Alderman Louis B. Anderson, of the second ward, spoke for five minutes, singing aloud the praises of Judge George and trusting for the success and good that would inevitably follow as a result. Hon. Anthony Czarnecki, Election Commissioner, spoke very warmly of the colored people, the Judge and the many friends who had helped to put him over. He said: "There are some people who understand and feel toward the colored people as they did when first they undertook to put one of their own into office. There are some people who came to this land to enjoy the blessings and the opportunities which the constitution of this country gives to them. All we ask is a square deal, just as you do. We ask no favors, we want nothing but what we are in the name of God and humanity entitled to. In this land as in the other—we want to serve to die when called and to serve while we live, I know you want the same. "I wish to congratulate Judge George and to congratulate your people upon the selection for Judge. On his shoulders will be centered a responsibility, but if he will only lead and follow the call of that wee small voice, called conscience, all will be well, and I think he will. I wish to congratulate Edward H. Wright and others who worked so relentlessly for this day, and I know that you want to do the right thing in every way and I know that before God, not one of his fellow citizens who had any heart for his own, would ask him to do anything which is not right, and which is not on the square and others must not ask him for anything that is not right. It will be a great deal easier if you will remember that each day and hour, by your side there will sit that other Judge, guiding and directing you, pointing out the way; that Judge who at the final end will dispose of you and me, of our successes and our failures. If you do this, then everything will be safe. God speed you and (Continued on Page 2).

THE FIRST COLORED JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO By Miss Louise Bond Hon. Albert B. George, the first colored man ever elected to sit in a court of record in the United States, was inaugurated Monday, December 1, in room 1109 of the City Hall, as MISS LOUISE BOND an associate judge of the Municipal court of Chicago. As the judge entered from his chambers he was greeted by a battery of camera men and a throng of friends and admirers who crowded the courtroom, after which Chief Justice Harry Olson welcomed him with a short speech. He said: "Judge George is the first colored judge in the country to sit in a court of record and it is fitting that this event should have happened in the state which is the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. He was not elected because he was colored, but because he was an American citizen." He then turned the program over to Hon. Edward H. Wright, who was master of ceremonies. In making his speech, State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe said, "Judge George has the greatest responsibility ```markdown ``` J. B. HON. ALFAR M.

After the speaking program was concluded, Judge George was introduced to the crowds filling the flower decked court room. "I am very near to tears," said the Judge.

A number of telegrams which were received from relatives and friends were read by Mr. Wright. Among them were messages from Phill A. Jones of the Underwriters Mutual Life Insurance Co., Robert S. Abbott and Charles B. Barrett. At the conclusion of the program, Judge George with Mrs. George and Albert. Jr., received his friends in the corridors just outside the courtroom. A. J. CAREY HAS JOINED HANDS WITH OSCAR DE PRIEST TO PREVENT AL DERMAN ROBERT R. JACKSON BEING RE-ELECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE THIRD WARD It was intimated in the last issue of this newspaper that A. J. Carey would help to boost Alderman Robert, R. Jackson back into the City Council from the Third Ward, but such is not the case for it is freely admitted that A. J. Carey will join hands with Oscar De Priest and will endeavor to land Dr. R. A. Williams in the City Council from the Third Ward, instead of Alderman Jackson. Alderman Jackson states that he can or will easily defeat all the contestants in his ward and that he will be re-elected to the City Council from it in spite of Oscar De Priest and A. J. Carey. FORMER ALDERMAN BEN S WILSON, WILL PUT UP A STIFF FIGHT TO BREAK BACK INTO THE CITY COUN CIL FROM THE NEW NINE- TEENTH WARD Some hot aldermanic fights are now being staged in the various wards throughout the city, and the various aldermanic aspirants are whetting up their knives or tomahawks, getting ready for the fray at the February Primaries. Former Alderman Ben S. Wilson, who is one of the strongest little political scrappers or fighters in Chicago, will endeavor to route all comers in the new nineteenth ward and burst back into the City Council from that ward. Alderman Wilson has a splendid City Council record behind him and he is highly deserving of re-election to that body. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 6, 1924 Hon. Albert B. George Inducted Into Office As One of the New Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago in the Midst of Hundreds of His White and Colored Friends (Concluded from Page 1) when your work is done here on earth, and the task has been completed, and when you shall go before that Supreme Judge, the ruler of the universe, may he say to you, 'well done, thou good and faithful, for you have done much good work among your own and all peoples.'" Hon. Robert E. Crowe, State's Attorney of Cook County, Senator Adolph Marks, Hon. John A. Passmore, Clerk of the Criminal Court of Cook County; Hon. Chas. W. Peters, Assistant Sheriff of Cook County; Hon. Jos. F. Haas, Recorder of Deeds; Hon. Geo. A. Curran, Judge of the Municipal Court; Hon. Alia M. Eberhardt, Judge of the Municipal Court; Hon. Roy O. West, Secretary of the Republican National Committee and one of the most eminent citizens and lawyers of Chicago, and former Municipal Court Judge, Bernard Barassa, in turn, shook Judge George's hand and congratulated him and also the people of Chicago for putting him on the bench. They also spoke very commendingly of the life, the character and the ability as a lawyer to do things, and that in his capacity as a Judge, he would be able to do the things demanded of him. They warmly welcomed him into the brotherhood of Judges—those who have the ends of justice in their power—the ones who have the great responsibility of unraveling the ends of controversies, caused by misunderstandings—little and great, and endeavors to give reason back his throne and make the dove of peace settle around the fireside once more. In speaking of this responsibility of all Judges, theirs is one that require a level head and a willing heart—and any one who undertakes to fill this position, should have the sympathy and the prayers of all the people. Hon. Samuel H. Trude, Judge of the Municipal Court, who had known Judge George for many years, tried many cases with him before his election to the bench, said, in his few minutes' talk, "You have done many wonderful things in your lifetime—but today has been the greatest of them all, for you have done it with flowers." In his speech, one could but feel the sincerity and deep feeling that he showed toward the newly elected Judge and of his delight in being able to say a word of cheer, of courage and to wish him God speed in his work. He also spoke of the good and faithful work done by some of the leaders of our race, among them, Aldermen Jackson and Anderson, and Hon. Edward H. Wright, in order that we may have this representation on the bench for the colored people. In speaking of the ability to do things, to accomplish things, with reference to Judge George, Judge Trude recited the lines from Robert Burns poem, "A man's a man for a' that and a' that." His speech was warmly applauded by the audience. After all the speeches had been said and cheering done away with, it then became the duty of the Master of Ceremonies to call on the one who had up until this time been sitting in a very happy but sorrowful position, with his eyes not far from tears, with a happy crowd around him, hearts brimming over with cheer and gladness that another victory had been achieved—another man had been thought worthy to fill a position in which it would bring the standard of the colored people's banner a little higher. He, amid great applause, stood up to thank the good people for their kindness and consideration of him in this, "his hour of triumph." He said: "Mr. Chairman, friends, ladies and gentlemen: "Of course you don't expect me to do much talking; I could not if I wanted to. I am too near to tears. Judges of course, should be made of sterner stuff, but I am just that full. By your presence here, I know you have come to tell me that you wanted me to get started right; that you wanted me to be a good judge and wanted me to have your sympathy and to know that you are standing back of me. The very fact that you have left your work and homes and come here today, makes me know that you are with me and wish me success, for which I am sincerely grateful. Mr. Wright was willing to undertake to make some arrangements which would relieve me of any embarrassment here. It is not my personal program here at all but it has been said here that today is a day of victory to us, and makes us feel that fine spirit of brotherly-love and good faith in all mankind. "I am mighty glad to have here present in this audience the friend that I first met when I came to Chicago and he has been one of my very best friends since. I am speaking of Dr. Geo. C. Hall. Also the minister of the gospel, who took me into his church when I first came here and he has been my pastor for all these many years, namely, Rev. Moses Jackson. There are also many others who have been my very good friends, Ed. A. Weese, Mr. Chris Blue, I am glad to have you by me now, and also a good many others, I will not undertake to call the roll now. As Mr. Czarnecki said, my conscience will be my guide in all matters. I trust I will never get far from them. I just wrote on this piece of paper a few words, that have always been dear to me. They are: "Thou wilt keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is stayed on Thee." "I trust that I will always be led by that divine spirit, and that He will keep me in perfect peace because my mind and heart will be stayed on Him." And with tears streaming down his face, a bright light shining from his clear black eyes, the first Judge of the colored race to be elected to the bench in the city of Chicago, sat down amid cheers that will never resound so loudly and fervently, by black and white, as a melting of the bars that have been put up as a dividing line, and each honestly and sincerely in his own heart of hearts, felt glad that this great event had occurred and that it had occurred, not in the home state of Abraham Lincoln, as one of the speakers indicated, it should have, but in the great city of Chicago, and State of Illinois, where there are fair and honest citizens, wishing the Negro God speed, and helping to see that he is given the right opportunity to reach a higher and better standard of living as did come from the heart of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. There were many floral designs sent by his many friends throughout the city. Those represented: Wabash Avenue Club, Labors Charity Club Members and friends from his ward West Side Women's Club, Chicago Bar Association, L.B.W. Club, Phyllis Wheatley Club, New Method Club Representation from Robins, Ill., The 28th Ward Club. Telegrams from his friends who were unable to be present were read, wishing him success and congratulating him on attaining the position so willingly given him by the good people of Chicago. They were from; Hon. Robert H. Terrell, Judge of the Municipal Court, Washington, D. C. Editor and Mrs. Robert S. Abbot, J. E. Mitcham, of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, New York; Members of the Sanitary District, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. George, father of Judge George, Washington, D. C. Long and may well he reign. May he perform his duty well. After all, that is the only thing that really counts. The performance well and faithfulness to the charge committed in our hands. His is a great responsibility as we say, for he is a pioneer. It is, always harder to go ahead and tear down the brush and make a clearing through the forest—but it can be done, and it can be done by Judge George. May he be given the strength and the courage to at all times, do his duty as he sees it, guided by that finer inner self, that will not lead one wrong, keeping in mind these lines: "I ask not Thee, O Lord, to front the fray, Nor drive the foeman from my sight. I ask alone for strength to fight. By day, by night." 334 HON. JAMES A.

BY VICTOR RUBIN The writer has just finished reading "Tar and Feathers," which is thrilling or exciting from beginning to end. It consists of 262 pages, large type, well printed, well bound in handsome maroon cover. It is printed in the United States of America, by the Craftsmen Printers, Chicago. It is now in its third edition and the demands for it and its sales continues to increase at a rapid rate. "Tar and Feathers," by its wide awake author, Victor Rubin, deals largely with the Ku Klux Klan its principals and activities in a reprehensible effort or manner to stir up bitterness race hatred, against the Catholics, the Jewish people and the colored people in this country. No intelligent person can read "Tar and Feathers" regardless of their race or religion, without feeling that a great injustice has been heaped upon the three classes of loyal American citizens mentioned above. The book should be extensively read by all thoughtful Americans in all parts of this country. Mr. Joseph Shreve, 6034 S.

Education Week closed with great enthusiasm on the part of those engaged in training the young. This is a significant truth when it is taken into consideration that fully 8,000 teachers are employed in the city schools. The Welfare Federation closed its drive for funds which are to be distributed among the one hundred and thirty federated organizations engaged in welfare work. "Inasmuch as ye do this" seems to have struck firm root in the heart of Philadelphia, and Golden Rule Sunday will be lived up to, if the programs sent out by various educational and welfare organizations are carried out. While all these various activities are being staged, gilded youth and gilt-trimmed age go the pace in the social sun-light. From Foreign Shores There seems to be some controversy over opium. Americans at the opium conference some time ago displayed an aggressive attitude, which was noted by the Japanese. Dr. Ignaz Seipel has resigned as Austrian Chancellor, and this comes as a surprise not only in Cabinet circles in Vienna, but throughout the world. He will be succeeded by Dr. Rudolph Ramek. Industrial unrest on the continent still continues. Death's Awful Toll The number of deaths directly attributable to automobile accidents has increased to an alarming extent. There is always a large number over the week-end. Eight or more persons met death within forty-eight hours in this vicinity. Aside from those injured slightly, there are a number injured each week who will be more or less incapacitated for further work. Two prominent race persons were killed when the automobile in which they were riding was run down by a train. Mr. and Mrs. William Fallen, well known in church circles, were killed and their son Robert, was injured. On a Neighbor's Clothes Line On a Neighbor's Clothes Line Because of the prominence of all persons involved, the principal characters will not be named, nor will the place where the scene is laid. The man in the case is rather dapper, and at an age when men really appear worth while—between thirty and forty—and so, what else could a poor weak woman do, when such a man (though married to a prominent woman) would make overtures to her? They flirted, they met; she wrote him a letter. He forgot and left it in his pocket. The plot thickens; friend wife finds it, takes it to the husband of the other "woman" and then there is a fight. Excitement ran high for the time being, and neighbors on both sides of the street are still talking in an undertone about the affair, and all parties to the affair are now denying it. Still they did their laundry work in the street, and their linens are "on the line." Along the Scarlet Line of Life William Johns, aged about thirty-five years, is at the point of death as a result of wounds inflicted by one Lola Banks, who is said to be about thirty years old. The two had a beaten argument in Johns' home where Lola had gone on a visit. The Banks woman made a safe get-away before the police arrived, and has not as yet been apprehended. Arrests over the week-end showed a slight decrease. Several women were arrested on charges of shoplifting, and the police records show that several raiding parties netted a goodly number. Mob Stages Running Fight Incensed at the arrest of one of their number, several men are alleged to have attempted to have the prisoner released. When this was noticed a group of young white men and boys came to the rescue of the police officer, and a fight followed. The fight is said to have covered several city blocks, and resulted in the serious stabbing of Jasper Williams, twenty-eight years old, who was slashed in the back, chest and face, it is said, by Robert Simmons. Williams is in the Pennsylvania Hospital, where physicians state that his condition is critical. Charles Finkens, who was stabbed during the affray, was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital for treatment, and has a charge lodged against him of interfering with an officer, Oscar Daltz and Elmer Peoples, who showed evidences of having been participants in the riot, were also arrested on charges of inciting to riot. Reserves answering the riot call sent in by the officer, quickly restored peace. In. Business Circles The pre-holiday trade, all things considered, has been very lively. Few new businesses have sprung up, due largely to the fact that money is being held for the holiday festivities. The principal business is being done by the general merchants. All of the various Christmas saving funds for the year have closed and several institutions have already mailed checks. Of course no real figures can be given, but it is safe to say that close to a million dollars will be turned over in one gayety alone. The Gardiner-Williams Corporation reports increased activity in its drive; the Champion Shirt Waist Factory is still filling orders. W. A. Tooks, the enterprising young manufacturer of undertaking and funeral supplies, has increased his business establishment, having taken over two large pieces of property in South Colorado street. Mr. Tooks is the only colored man in this locality engaged in this work. He is well known in religious and fraternal circles. Several large real estate deals were closed during the week. In the Realm of Higher Things In an address delivered here quite recently, Dr. William Mather Lewis, President, George Washington University, said "School books and the Bible are most unattractive in appearance. The printing industry can do more for education and religious training than any other organization if it will make these books so attractive that children will want to read them." The Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes, of New York, in his address in the Broad Street Theatre, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Young Democracy, criticized Americans, claiming that they are the last people in the world to take an interest in the great forward movement toward industrial democracy. Rev. Holmes made this startling statement: "Russia and the United States are destined to be the dominant Powers in the world, but while Russia will typify the new social order, based on the rule of the proletariat, the United States will be the last bulwark of capitalism."

Eleazer Raleigh, N. C.—North Carolina is now appropriating for Negro education nearly four million dollars a year a sum greater than the state expended for its entire educational program white and colored, in any year prior to 1910. This was the strtling statement made by Prof. N. C. Newbold of the state department of education at the annual conference on Negro education held in Raleigh a few days ago. During the past four years the state has expended $15,000,000 for the education of its colored citizens and is preparing to appropriate as much more for this purpose in the four years just ahead, according to Prof. Newbold, who heads the department of Negro education. Eleven years ago the total appropriated for this purpose was $225,000 a year. The increase, therefore, has been about 1,500 per cent. Of the four year budget $2,200,000 went for higher education. Colored high schools have increased in number from thirteen in 1921 to thirty-four in 1924, and high school students from 1,347 to 5,341. The number of colored teachers has increased in four years from 3,779 to 5,037. The salaries paid these teachers during the four years aggregate about seven million dollars. The greatest need for the immediate future Mr. Newbold declared, is a standard four-year teachers' college, which he thought would be provided by the next legislature. After that must come a four-year standard college of liberal arts. Both races, said Mr. Newbold, are coming to realize the need for colored doctors, lawyers, nurses, and other professionally trained leaders. "North Carolina has faith in its Negro people," he continued, "it has spent millions for their education, and it believes that there should be one standard for teachers and not two. There is still much left to be done if we live up to the doctrine of equality of educational opportunity for all the children of the state as provided for in the constitution." Prof. Newbold called attention to the fact that less than one-half of one per cent of the country's criminals come from the ranks of educated Negroes. The conference was attended by the state superintendent of education and by many other prominent educators of both races from North Carolina and other states. It was widely and favorably commented on by the press of the state. The Salisbury Post thus expressed the general feeling. "All sight thinking people will be not only willing but anxious that the state undertake a bigger and a better program of help for the Negroes . . . it must not allow this good work to lag."

CHARLES EASY STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT OF THE BROAD AX, IS ON HIS FEET AGAIN AND HE WILL STRIKE OLD CHICAGO BEFORE CHRISTMAS TIME. Cameron, Texas.—It is a great thing for a man to get where God can use him, the man who will take time and prepare for work, and God always knows that address of such a man, and will put His hands on him when He is in need of a man for certain work. This has been proven and is being brought before us every day. You find some people who do nothing but complain and when they get an opportunity they then spend time in making excuses. They are just a job lot of misfits, and much of their time is also spent in finding fault with the fellow who is doing and trying to cut his throat. The devil will have a great time with them, and they will make hell all the hotter, by them having been consigned to that hot clime. Before saying too much, I want to pay my respects to one of the most remarkable men I have ever known and he is a man of God and is spending his whole life in His cause, following in the footsteps of the Christ as far as it is possible for humans to do this and that man is William Decker Johnson, one of the Bishops in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and a man who has started from the ground floor and by preparation and service has worked to the top, and he is doing something in Texas. When Bishop Johnson was assigned to Texas, the men received him with open arms, and followed him for four years, and then they went to the General in Louisville, Ky., last May and asked for his return, and this was granted, and now he is finishing up his round of conferences, and I want to join with the loyal African Methodists of Texas in thankking God for this wonderful Christ-like man. Like all men of worth, he has been touched by the human buzzards, those who will sneak in the dark, throw a stone without showing their hands, and will find "Tige" and say to him, "Seek him, Tige, for I can't." He strikes at the bishop and others, and there are a few who will call him a hero, defending the church. To be besmirch the head, the leaders of the church, publish things which are untrue, believe me when I tell you this indeed is a heluva way to protect your church. I am not an African Methodist, but a good old Baptist, and I would not think of saying the things that have been said. Not only that, but they have sailed into a good woman, whose desire it is to do something for her people, but failed to call any name. In the face of all this, Bishop Johnson has said that he did not want to know the names of the cowards who would strike in the dark, because there was a human side to him, and he had no desire to strike the wife and children of any man, for he felt that the men or man had a family. Down on his knees, he has carried them before a throne of grace instead of a shotgun, praying "Father, forgive them." Bishop Johnson is loved in Texas, and I was proud to see the men of Texas present him with a fine Dodge automobile car carriage, and it came from hearts full of love, because of his wonderful educational program which he has put over and is still putting over. Strong faculty at Paul Quinn College today, and they will soon be putting another wing on a building which was erected last year, and let me tell you that the American Woodmen with Dr. Abner at the head, has made a loan of $65,000 because of the love they have for Bishop Johnson, his business ability and the faith in the African Methodist church. Here I am in Texas still, but you put it down before you can say "scat," I will be out of the state, and when you read this letter. I will have been through and stopped at Tyler, Texas, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Ga., Monroe, North Carolina, Kittrell, N. C., Durham and then at Winston-Salem, where I am going to make an effort to get in the Masons, and will let you know about it in my next letter perhaps, and if not in that one in the next one. When I took my pen in hand to write you that other letter I was in Wichita Falls, Texas, and then I told you about the death of Chester E Bush, and Dr. W. H. Mixon, and they followed information that I, J. W. Bright, known the world over as "Lem," died in his home in Norfolk, Virginia. He was one of the most remarkable business men of this race of ours and a man of wealth and a believer in his people. I am proud of him, but join his widow and orphans in grief, for he was my friend. He was your friend—a friend to humanity. I recall the Jamestown Exposition, when thousands of my people were to visit Norfolk, and he realizing that they wanted somewhere to stay, had erected a three-story building, Mt. Vernon Hotel, and it stands as a monument today. It was and is now a real first-class hotel. He gave his personal attention to this enterprise. With a desire to make the summer visitors to Norfolk comfortable his next step was the purchase of a fine place on the beach, where he there had a bathing outfit, hotel accommodation—in fact it was a first-class place. He put his money in this. Then he was the leading spirit in the new market place—in fact he was the manager. His wife was one of the leading teachers in the public school prior to her marriage to this genius. Just as I had stopped to shed a tear over the death of my friend Bright, then comes the news that Dr. Edward P. Jones, known among the Odd Fellows as "Mississippi Jones," had crossed over Jordan, leaving a widow and three sons. He is known this country over, and the Baptists of America know him. I cannot tell you all, because I do not want to discuss Baptist affairs in this letter. But he has gone to join Dr. R. H. Boyd, W. H. Beckham and others who stepped over ahead of him, and awaiting his arrival. He made his name in this world, and it will be remembered long after he has crossed over. My attention has been called to the fact that Poro has opened its palatial headquarters in Chicago, and you will find Poro right in the city of Chicago. I have just been in touch with Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, and he informs me that they are planning one of the biggest meetings in the history of the organization, to be held in Chicago about the time of Lincoln's birthday. People will be coming there from all parts of the country, and they have in mind to help to lift up the race, and in this I believe they are going to succeed. Simmons made himself known in the campaign which closed November 4, and it is a wonder that the traffic officer did not put President Coolidge under arrest for speeding, and then stepped out to Evanston and got Brother Dawes for both of them exceeded the speed limit, and it was a case of solid north vs. solid south. Judge George got in that speed contest, and went over the limit, and the same is true of Senator Charles S. Deneen, and you may put it down that I told you Charles S. Deneen is going to be president of the United States before he crosses over Jordan. Look out for what I tell you. Lots of people have said they were going to send me a Christmas present and if they are, just tell them to send it to 4823 Calmet avenue, Chicago, for I am going to be there with Charles Stewart and his family Christmas. Already I have the invitation from both of them or from the three. I have been very sick, but I am better today. I will bring this letter to a stop.
