Cronson, Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, Who Will Be Elected to the City Council From the 4th Ward, Tuesday, Feb.24 Re-Elect Hon. Arthur F. Albert to City Council From the New Forty-Third Ward He Is One of the True Friends of Common People Hon. George M. Maypole Who Will Be Re-Elected to the City Council From the 28th Ward on Tuesday, February 24th Hon. Berthold A. Cronson, who is extremely popular with all classes of his fellow townsmans, who looks like a real live winner for alderman of the new 4th Ward, was ushered into this grand old world August 24, 1895, in New York City, coming to this wonderful city when he was nothing but a small boy. In time he attended the Douglas Grammar School and Wendel Phillips High School, graduating from them with the highest honors. Later on he took up the study of the law at the Chicago-Kent College of Law, graduating from it in time with more high honors and he was admitted to the bar in 1917. He met with great success as an able lawyer right from the very start, and shortly thereafter he was selected Assistant Corporation Counsel of the City of Chicago, and honorably served as such until his enlistment in the Navy of the United States during the recent World War, enlisting as a seaman and receiving his Honorable Discharge as an Ensign. He was reappointed Assistant Corporation Counsel after the War and served in that capacity until July 1, 1923, when he received the appointment of Assistant State's Attorney from Judge Robert E. Crowe, which position he still holds. He is an honored member of the Hamilton Club, Chicago Bar Association, Illinois State Bar Association, Naval Post No. 372, American Legion, Re-Elect Hon Council From He Is One of the Hon. Arthur F. Albert was first elected to the City Council some six or seven years ago from the old 22nd Ward, now the new 43rd Ward, and from the very first day that he broke or butted into that body he has been one of its most honest, useful and valuable members. He is looked upon as "the boy silver tongued orator of the City Council." The Municipal Voters' League has this to say in favor of the re-election of Alderman Albert from the 43rd Ward: "Albert Useful to Public" Forty-third Ward Alderman Arthur F. Albert endorsed. Voters should support Ald. Albert, who has shown independence and aggressive honesty and should be increasingly useful as he continues to move forward while drinking in ripe experience." Alderman Albert is a live member of many of the most important committees of that body and he always answers present at roll call to see to it Hon. George M. Maypole, who has been one of the most active and prominent members of the City Council for the past 10 or 12 years, blew into it first from the old 14th Ward, and in 1923 he was re-elected to it from the new 28th Ward, and like his late highly honored and greatly beloved father, Alderman William T. Maypole, he has always been one of the steadfast friends of the colored race.

When the fight had become very bitter over the colored brother on the floor of the City Council committee rooms, Alderman Maypole strode into the room and wanted to know what was the trouble or matter with the so-called red blooded or thin skinned republicans who were ashamed or afraid to let it be known on the floor of the City Council that a large num- --- His Platform 1.

He is the second member of the great law firm of Schuyler, Ettelson and Weinfeld with extensive law offices on the 12th floor of the Illinois Merchants Trust Company Building.

HON.JOSEPH HIGGINS SMITH Hon. Joseph Higgins Smith was first elected to the City Council eleven years ago from the old 14th Ward, and honestly and faithfully served the people of that ward until April 1, 1923, at which time he was elected to it from the new 32nd Ward and during all of those years he has served on all of its important committees. At the present time he is chairman of the committee on the "High Costs and Public Markets." He is also an active member of the committee on Local Transportation and so on. Alderman Smith has always been outspoken in his friendship for the colored people. It will be recalled that shortly after the race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois, in 1917, that many colored people wended their way to this city seeking homes and shelter, and a great meeting was held in one of the colored churches on the West side. Alderman Smith attended that meeting and a poor colored woman, with her three children, was present without one dollar to their name. Their home had been destroyed by the ```markdown ``` M. H. M.

At that stage of the meeting Alderman Smith walked up to the front part of the church and simply said, "this is no time to do so much talking but it is high time to do some acting" and with that he laid twenty-five dollars down on the table to aid the colored woman on her way to Detroit, Michigan. During the race riots in this city in 1919, Alderman Smith was right around among the colored people in his ward, doing everything he possibly could for them in those trying times, and as he manfully stood by them at that time, they, the colored people residing in his ward, will stand by him on Tuesday, February 24, and greatly assist to re-elect him to the City Council from the 32nd Ward.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 Eloquent and Brilliant Oration on the Everlasting Achievements of the Immortal Abraham Lincoln Delivered at the Wendell Phillips High School on Sunday Evening By COL. JULIUS REYNOLDS KLINE Hon.

Bowling, assistant pastor of the Metropolitan Community Center Church, opened the services with prayer and Rev. Milton R. Boone, pronounced the benediction; Rev. W. D.

Trice were among those who occupied seats on the platform. Eloquent Oration on Abraham Lincoln The following eloquent or brilliant oration on Abraham Lincoln was delivered by Col. Julius Reynolds Kline: LINCOLN AND TODAY On this occasion it is my great privilege to address you, my hearers, on a subject that should be fraught with the greatest of interest to your people and all the vast citizenry of the United States, and I personally consider myself on this occasion as being one doubly honored, first, that I should be selected by this organization to pay tribute to a master man and the first citizen of the age, and, secondly, that I here am also chosen by a wonderful organization typical of the great middle west and all the great principles for which it stands. I confess my weakness and my inability to do justice to so wonderful a subject as that of Abraham Lincoln. It is with a feeling of regret that I realize that I lack the capabilities of a Demosthenes which I should possess in order to pay a proper mead of tribute. I realize and feel how unequal I am to perform the great task, for can I by words or phrases in any measure create a word picture of the beauty of the morning sun, whose beneficent rays revivify and purify this earth of ours. The sun that causes the flowers, mute messengers of Heaven, to spring forth in all their beauty to delight man's sense and growing bearded grain, teeming with nature's life to sustain man and to give to living, virile beings, strength and impetus to perform their duties in life, or to picture by mere words the moon, queen of the night, that covers this wonderful land of ours with its silvery sheen, adding lustre and beauty to the waters, the mountains, the valleys, the hills and the dales, or describe the artistry of the sculptor, who, from the broad slab of marble delicately reproduces the outlines of beautiful manhood and womanhood, or the cunning and genius of the artist who, upon the bare canvas with color and brush, reproduces all that delights our sense in nature, than to in any measure picture or reproduce in the minds of you, my hearers, the wonderful thought, the wonderful character, the broad individuality, the reproduction of God's thought and the wonderful results of the acts and doings of the great emancipator of God's children. A man of the people, that sprang from the people, a man who had experience with pain and vicissitude, hardship and disappointment, that spoke to the world at large with the authority of one, who himself had sacrificed and suffered. Need I picture to you this boy, a part of the pioneers and advance guard of a nation's greatness? Need I picture to you that boy, reared in a log cabin, his training obtained in the hardest of schools, battling and fighting with poverty and adversity, striving with every effort to obtain a knowledge of the people around him and of the actual world itself? Of the early life of Lincoln much has been said. Of his early struggles we have a knowledge, but the greatest thought and analysis of interest of the moment are the results of the duties he performed so well. That duty to God, to country and to humanity. No tribute to Lincoln could possibly be finished or complete did it not contain some allusion and some thought as to the progress, the present position and the future of the people that he sacrificed even life itself in their behalf. And what greater record can man leave behind to posterity than he gave his life for the benefit of his brother? A few years ago as we reckon time in this broad land of ours, under a rule of government called its Constitution, that was instituted to secure the blessings of liberty to the humankind, there existed under that Constitution which gave the lie to their provisions and belied the promise that the Constitution made, and I picture a people that by the rule of the stronger were forcibly taken possession of, dragged from their country, their land, their homes, their wives and children, and all that was near and dear to them, and placed in a land without their consent, that was foreign to their ideas, to force them to toil and labor for the benefit of the superior power, and that power not treating them as servants, but merely as chattels, on a par and on a level with the animal. At this time, that is over sixty years ago, a mere moment in the progress of time of today; there appeared a man in some measure believed that the government of this nation should keep the faith and the promise, and demonstrate the justice of the constitutional pronouncement, and he reasoned that a man of color was one of God's creatures, created by the Divine Master, made from the same clay and designed upon the same great plan. He believed in the great theory of equality, that equality that is and should be the portion of every one at his birth, that knows no distinction for the future save as they seek and labor to perfect themselves and apply those talents which God gave them for the general good of all mankind. He reasoned that those people had eyes to see all the beauties of nature and the beneficent gifts of God to man, that they had ears to hear the soft sighing of the winds, the language of the waves and the glorious message from God to man conveying the salvation of the soul, that they had brain and mind and intellect to comprehend, to study and to realize a part of the Divine plan and conscience to act and do as the Master mind dictated, that their hearts were as tender as any other of God's creatures and that they in a measure understood and comprehended that real basic principle in life, the true love of mankind, that love which actuated the sacrifice of the Christ, and actuated by this thought divine in its nature, divine in its conception he advocated and promulgated and was the factor that put into effect in this land of ours the Emancipation Proclamation that freed from bondage the so-called slave and added to a nation's strength a great people, and he left to them the great task of proving to the civilized world by their own efforts that his thought was right. In the progress of the colored race of today lies the vindication of the attitude of Abraham Lincoln. This thought of Abraham Lincoln reformed the world and other nations conquering self and selfish inclinations abolished the term "Slavery" from their national life. How well have those people for whom he struggled fulfilled the trust? I but briefly place in your minds a thought upon that subject, that a people who a few short years ago were considered chattels and akin to the animal grade by their own efforts administrated through the wisdom of the Divine Master, they are bringing into being and by their own efforts a vindication of the acts of Abraham Lincoln. Over this broad land of ours are spread millions in number the descendants of the man of color of former days, and throughout the land are great universities, great colleges and great institutions of learning devoted to the advancement of the man of color, and those institutions headed by men of their own kind, whose advanced thought, whose advanced learning and advanced education are leaving the seal of progress upon the people of today, and let us hope upon the future generations to come. In the House of Legislature, both in commonwealth and the nation, these people are taking the place which their education, their learning and ability warrants. In the ranks of the professions, in the law, are men of color, of thought, of advanced learning, of clean and clear-cut analysis; in surgery and medicine are men who are adding their need of relief to suffering mankind. In the marts of trade and finance are men of color who are enterprising, trustworthy, fair in their dealings and what the world terms successful men. In the pulpul are those who comprehend and understand the Divine revelation from God to man, and competent to teach those same lessons. And in lesser occupations, in all lines of endeavor they are taking an active, responsible and permanent part. All this accomplished in a few short years, accomplished by individual effort. I can only analyze from that standpoint [Name] HON.

It is my hope and my thought to not only the people of color, but to the white citizen of to I believe that Abraham Lincoln believed in that Constitution. I believe that he did think that all men were created free and equal in the sight of God. I believe that he thought no man should be charged with an accident of birth, that no human creature through any act of his own was brought into this world of ours and should not be prejudiced and militated against by reason of that act of birth. I do believe in a great measure, in the great equality of all mankind, that men should be judged by their acts and the result of the acts that they perform, and that no one class, kind or creed should be made chargeable for the individual acts of some of its mistaken or abandoned followers, that we should all, irrespective of class, kind or creed, practice in some measure that which may be properly termed the eleventh commandment, the ten given by Moses on the mount to the people, and the eleventh given by Christ to his disciples, for as he was about to leave them for the time he said: "I give unto you a new commandment; that you love one another, and thus you become my disciples." This brings to my mind a simple thought as I review the early condition of Lincoln's people in his time and I think of the wonderful effectiveness and the advancement of the man A. H. H. 18 HON.

It is my hope and my thought to not only the people of color, but to the white citizen of today, that they each and every one of them should strive to bring the nelses closer and nearer to the great moral principle that we all must adhere to and teach and endeavor to practice, the principle that we love one another and in some measure do unto others as we would have them do unto us, and thus bring about to all men, irrespective of class, kind or creed, a great tide of progress and advancement which shall continue, guided by the principles promulgated by God and taught and comprehended by the Christ. That will bring us to the great thought of toleration and charity towards our kind and to those men who feel that they are being millated against, are indifferently treated for the time, have but this consolation that in the end truth and justice will be triumphant, for God still reigns in the heavens. It is true that we all, children of the earth, undergo certain vicissitudes, but let us hope that God in His infinite wisdom as the Judge of all judges will bring us all, by reason of a faithful discharge of our duty, to the great happiness, the happiness that can only be attained by virtue and virtuous action, the happiness that brings all people closer and nearer to the foot of the cross.

Eloquent and Brilliant Oration on the Everlasting Achievements of the Immortal Abraham Lincoln (Continued from Page 2) not the incident of the great Gettys- burg address in some measure com~ mented upon, the greatest tribute to @ great man. On the morning of November 18, 1863, there left the city of Washing- ton, a most distinguished company; the President of the United States, the Judges of the Supreme Court, the heads of departments, the general and the chief of the army, and members of the United States cabinet. In the midst of this wonderful company towered a man sad, preoccupied and unassuming, a man of awkward car- viage and illy clad,'a man who, as he leaned against a convenient wall, was of no grace of look of of manner, and on whose worn and haggard face there seemed to be reflected the anguish of a suffering nation. That man jour- neyed with his associates to assist in ‘the consecration of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg—Abraham Lincoln. His mind seemed unsettled and without hope. On him devolved the responsibility of a nation. He was jalmost the dictator of a war torn country, with a responsibility that came near at times to crushing him, body and soul. The thousands of peo- ple would expect their President to say something to them worthy of a people who were making history for the world, something brilliant, some- thing eloquent, something wonderful and strong, and he, Abraham Lincoln, the lad reared in a cabin, trained in rough schools, fighting poverty and struggling to obtain a knowledge of the world and to know its limitations, was expected to satisfy that assem- blage, and upon a piece of brown wrapping paper he labored as the hours flew by, fitting word to word and sentence upon sentence, just as the sculptor must dream and vision the beautiful statue still within the marble, as the artist must dream and vision the picture yet to come from his brush, as the musician dreams and visions the song that he writes, Abra- ham Lincoln, with a clear thought in his mind of what he should say, found the sentences coming to him colorless, and when he had finished and read the speech, he dropped it from his hand to the floor and stared out into space, and then seizing the torn bit of paper he placed it in his pocket. On the following day a vast, silent multitude like the waves of the sea swept over that which had not long before been the battlefield of Gettys- burg. There were soldiers who had fought and forced their way across that field through the fire of shot and shell, and had seen the men pass and. die, who were then and there buried, grave, sad faced and thinking men who must soon again go into bette for the nation's sake. All those men, actuated by the same loyalty as their leader, were showing respect to those who had passed for the cause of free- dom. Then the tall, spare figure left the chelate aerial Church, Vincennes Ave. Improvement Protective Club, Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, Rev. B. U. Taylor, Rey. L. K.

ROWAN TO THE CITY COUN: CIL FROM THE 10TH WARD Next Tuesday February 24, the voters of the 10th Ward of the City of Chicago will be called upon to elect a representative for their ward in the City Council. ‘The aldermanic race now is between William A. Rowan, who has been as- sociated with “The Daily Calumet” as reporter and city editor for the past 20 years, and the present incumbent. _ One outstanding fact should be borne in mind at this time, and that is that this is 2 non-partisan election, so declared and authorized by law, and the voters should not permit un- scrupulous politicians to befuddle the group of men upon the platform and passed slowly across the open space and stood facing the audience. A start, a whispering sound seetmed to permeate this great field of humanity, as if a soft breeze had caused a ripple on a wonderful field of grain. This ‘man was the president, and every eye was directed to him, and it seemed almost as though those people stopped breathing rather than miss a single word. The loose hung figure, six feet four inches in height, towered above ‘them, and then he began the Gettys- ‘burg address. | “Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this con- tinent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi- tion that all men ‘are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedi- cated can long endure, We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live, It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, But in a larger sense we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it never can forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus so nobly ad- vanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have 2 new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” ‘There was not a sound from the vast assemblage, nothing but astound- ed silence. President Lincoln’s figure stood before them erect, at first in- spired and glorified by the wonderful swing of his words and then he lapsed slowly into the stillness, into ungrace- ful lines, and as in the deep quiet his audience stared at him not a hand was lifted in applause, and then slowly the bigs awkward man slouched back across the platform, sank into his seat, and then a long, long sigh, like a ripple on the waters passed through that vast assemblage, and in Lincoln's heart it found echo by a throb of pain. He thought his speech had been a failure, that his hearers did not under- stand, and as he gazed steadily into the eyes of those, his countrymen, who had given him little or no applause, he felt that disappointment which wrings the heart and cuts to the soul, and he then heard and realized there| was music, the choir was singing a| important issue of the campaign by arguments as to whether a candidate is affiliated with the Republican, Dem- ocratic or any other party, but look carefully to the records of the men who are submitting their names as candidates for alderman and vote for the one best fitted for this important office. Mr. Rowan was born and reared in South Chicago and has fived here con- tinuously. For the past twenty years, during which time he has been con- nected with “The Daily Calumet,” he has been one of the leading and most highly respected citizens of South Chi- cago, taking a deep interest in all the necessary improvements in which the public and taxpayers are interested. No citizen now residing in the 10th Ward, be he banker, lawyer or eda- cator, is better fitted to serve the tax- payer than William A. Rowan. During Mr. Rowan’s extended period of activities in public life, he has cheer- fully served on committees appointed by various associations, improvement clubs and organizations furthering the interests of the taxpayers and at n0 time has he ever been charged with a selfish purpose. At no time has his ability or integrity been attacked by friend or foe. ‘He opened his campaign in the first week in January, and from that date to this, his political opponents have fot given a single reason why Mr. Rowan should not be the next alder- man from the 10th Ward. At every meeting in the Ward his opponents have talked about Democrats, Repub- licans, Mayor Dever and his traction plan, the Volstead act, knee breeches, bobbed-haired girls, golf—anything dirge. His part was done, and he him- self -did not realize that the words of that speech so went to the hearts of the thousands of people that heard it that when it had ended there was silence, as if the whole audience held its breath, Not a hand was lifted to applaud. One might as well applaud the Lord’s prayer. It would have been a sacrilege and each and every one so felt. There was a long; long pause of reverent silence, not a sound from all that great throng. As has been said, that was the greatest and most perfect tribute that could be paid by any people to any orator. That speech has lived and should ever live in the hearts of the American people, and the words uttered so many years ago, uttered in the years long past, should be the watchword and the rallying cry of every American, and of ‘every nation of today. "In the ages past, along the shores of the sea of Galilee, there walked a eh humble and meek, and he taught peace on earth and good will to all men, the protection of the weak when right against the strong when wrong; he taught the great equality, and for these principles he was wounded, mangled and torn and made the great sacrifice. Abraham Lincoln was im- ‘bued by these same principles. He ad- ‘vocated the great peace of his people and regretted war, he advocated the good will to all men, he advocated the Protection of the weak when right against the strong when wrong, and he did preach the great principles of the great equality of all mankind, and for these principles he also made the last supreme sacrifice, and his follow- ers, within a few years past of the great World War, responded to the call of the nation and proved their loyalty to the Constitution that Lin- coln loved so well by that same sacri- fice. Lincoln placed his trust in the peo- ple that he freed. He placed his trust in the Constitution and the nation. I am satisfied that you here, my hearers, irrespective of class, color or kind, will stand by this nation as Abraham Lincoln stood by it, this nation, the one nation that is the refuge of all op- pressed, this nation, the one nation that stands for justice and equality, the one nation that gives every person a chance for happiness and security, the one nation of the world that has fully endured under its Constitution, That Constitution must be pre- served, guiding the one nation that stands for the great, true principles of the world. The nation must be pre- served by all, for those that will fol- low us in the ages to come. Our every thought should be for the coun- try and for this nation, and we should all here highly resolve that this gov- ernment, under God, this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth, and that the rallying cry of all, of every class, of every kind, of every creed, of every color, shall forever be “For God; for humanity; our country, and the flag.” and everything except the vital ques- tion involved—Who is the best fitted candidate? Mr. Rowan is endorsed by the lead- ing organizations and substantial busi- ness interests of the ward, who recog- nize his ability, honesty and faithful- ness. His election is conceded by the best informed men in the ward, and it is hoped that his plurality next Tues- day will meet the expectations of his many friends. The 10th Ward is to be congratulated that a man of Mr. Rowan’s substantial character and ability offers his services in the inter- ests of the taxpayers and citizens of the ward, THE QUESTIONNAIRE By Miss Louise Bond 1.

He is chuck full of wit and is at all times ready to measure arms with his largest and most powerful opponent. He is right up to the minute in all of the affairs pertaining to the great city of Chicago. It will be recalled that in 1921 he induced the city council to permit the friends and others connected with the Fort Dearborn Hospital to hold a special tag day and two thousand dollars and over was collected from it. Aside from the fact that he contributed some of his own money to aid it, he and his partner in the real estate business, Hon.

It will be further recalled that after the race riot in this city in 1919 Alderman Byrne led the fight in the city council in favor of awarding damages to the relatives of the colored people who were murdered in the race riot at that time, showing that he never permits the color of any person's skin to swerve him from doing right. He is a member of many committees of the city council, being chairman of the Police and Municipal Institutions and of other big committees. He is also head of the Committee of Local Industries, streets and alleys and also local transportation committee. All in all, Alderman Byrne is one of the honest and honorable city fathers who always labors hard for the best interests of all of the people of this wonderful city, the queen city of the / Middle West, and on Tuesday, February 24, he will again be re-elected to the city council from the new 15th Ward. $1.00 FOR 6 MONTHS $2.00 PER YEAR Hot Radio-Active Water Furnished by the Government For All Baths.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples with skin blemishes, it has to equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.
