C.—Memories of "Schooldays" are soon to be recalled by Judge Albert B. George, of the Municipal Court of Chicago, who is to be the Commencement orator, on June 15, at the graduation exercises of the Shaw Junior High School of this city. Judge George, recently elected to the Chicago Bench by an overwhelming vote, is the first Negro judge elected in the United States by the people's vote. He is a graduate of the old M Street High School of Washington. Laying aside his gavel on Commencement Day, Judge George will make a picturesque figure speaking to students and mingling again with classmates of old. Mottell ```markdown ``` Mottatt HON. CHARLES S.

THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 16.1925 MR. TAYLOR, IN COMPANY WITH MR. NETTLETON, WAS DRIVEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN A FAST SPEEDING CAR WITH AN EXPERT COLORED CHAUFFEUR. In concluding our story of our recent pleasure trip through some parts of the east, several times we have gotten the horse or the long eared mule before the cart; for example, for shortly after arriving in Washington, D. C., on Monday morning, March 2nd, we beat it to the Senate office building after first calling on Hon. Martin B. Madden to pay our respects to him and while resting up in the offices of Hon. William B. McKinley, United States Senator from Illinois, conversing with our friend Mr. Charles J. Pickett, who should walk in but Col. and Mrs. Morris Lewis, Col. M. C. Harper and Col. Wm. E. Hueston and one or two other persons representing the greatest newspaper in the world, which had for several weeks prior to that time published a long freight or passenger train in its columns announcing the fact that the "Inaugural Special All Ready to Go" Each issue of the greatest newspaper in the world contained a long list of the names of the most prominent ladies and gentlemen residing in this city and within a thousand miles from it in every direction who proposed to travel from this city to Washington D. C., and back to it on the "Inaugural Special," but for some cause or other instead of five hundred or one thousand of the leading citizens of this city and around about it riding to the Capitol of the nation, on the special train run by the greatest newspaper in the world, considerably less than fifteen ladies and gentlemen were in the great crowd of pleasure seekers and instead of the Inaugural train consisting of ten or fifteen cars, all the pleasure seekers were bunched into one car which was hooked onto one of the fast trains running over the Pennsylvania railroad. Col. Phil. A. Jones, of sainted memory to Col. R. S. Abbott, was also in the Chicago and he seemed to do more bossing than Col Morris Lewis and when Col. Lewis and his big push came in contact with the writer they were almost struck speechless, finally Col. Lewis recovered his voice and he walked up to us and he wanted to know how did we land in Washington, D. C., and he answered the question by saying, did you come in to town on the Broadway Limited, and we responded, no, we blew into town on the Capitol Limited which is the finest and the fastest train running over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and that we had our return ticket home right in our vest pocket. To say the least Col. Lewis and his noble little band from Chicago were greatly surprised to bump into us at that time and from there they wended their way up to 1216 Pennsylvania ave., the headquarters of Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Hon. Perry W. Howard, and the other high priests of the Abraham Lincoln Liberty League held forth where a flash light picture of the whole shooting match was taken but so far we have utterly failed to observe it flashed up in the columns of the greatest newspaper in the world. Let us return for the last time to the main story, on Monday morning, March 9, we was up bright and early for it was the last day that we expected to spend in Washington for some time and at 10 o'clock we called on Hon. William B. McKinley as we had promised to call and see him on Saturday morning at that time and after thanking him for the many courtesies he had extended to us during our visit to Washington, D. C., he brought forth a brand new photo of himself and inscribed on the bottom of it the following words "to my friend, Julius F. Taylor, with my best wishes for the success of The Broad Ax, William B. McKinley," and on withdrawing from his presence he extended his hand and said, Mr. Taylor, I hope you will arrive home safely and whenever you come to Washington you are welcome to make your headquarters right here in my office. Not long after that time we called on Hon. Martin B. Madden, arriving at his rooms promptly at 12 o'clock, and the Congressman greeted us by saying are you ready to call on President Coolidge and we responded, yes sir; then he called Mr. John Gilbert Nettleton who has faithfully served him as his private secretary for more than twenty years and Congressman Madden said "Gilbert accompany Mr. Taylor to call on President Coolidge. A fine auto was standing near the main door leading into the quarters of Congressman Madden and Mr. Nettleton requested us to step in and he followed us and a colored chauffeur was at the wheel and away we went speeding down Pennsylvania ave. to the White House, arriving there a five minutes to 12 o'clock and as Mr. Nettleton knows all of the ins and outs of the White House it did not take long before we were standing right in front of Hon. Everett Sanders the private secretary to President Coolidge and laying all kiding or jokes aside he is the right gentleman, he is big hearted, jovial, full of bright sunshine, he extends the glad hand to all comers, slaps them on the back and makes them feel at home. It might be well at this point to state that Mr. Sanders had charge of the Speakers Bureau in this city during the Presidential election in 1924, and he has always been true to the Republican Party, He hails from Indiana. Mr. Sanders, who did not seek renomination or re-election to the next Congress, was born near Coalmont, Clay County, Indiana, March 8, 1882, the son of Rev. James Sanders and Melissa Everal Sanders. He taught school for three years; attended the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute for two years; entered Indiana University in 1904, and graduated from that institution with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1907. He was admitted to the Indiana Bar in the city of Terre Haute, in June, 1907, and practiced law until he entered Congress in 1917. At the National Convention, held in Cleveland he was prominently mentioned as a running mate on the ticket with President Coolidge. The writer had not been in the White House five minutes before he was looking President Coolidge right square in his eyes and on approaching him alone we handed him our business card and after glancing at it he extended his hand and said, "Mr. Taylor we are extremely glad to have you with us this morning," all the time his clean cut face was wreathed in pleasant smiles. Very briefly we informed President Coolidge that out little newspaper had loyally supportd him in his race for vice President in 1920, and that it strongly supported him for President of the United States in 1924, and that it would continue to up hold his hands and administration as long as he had the courage and the manhood to stand by the American people, not the white people or the colored people but the American people. At the conclusion of our remarks, President Coolidge again extended his hand and said, Mr. Taylor I heartily thank you for the friendly feeling which you have expressed towards myself and I shall always strive to occupy a warm spot in the hearts of all the American people and anytime you visit Washington I will be pleased to visit the White House and Mr. Sanders followed us to the door and Julius as long as you are a close friend of Hon. Martin B. Madden, Hon. William B. McKinley, Hon. Charles S. Deneen and Mr. Nettleton the doors of the white house will always swing both ways for you. Shortly after our pleasant interview with President Coolidge we greatly enjoyed a chicken salad luncheon with Mr. Charles Pickett with plenty of ice cream and home made cake and two hours thereafter we were seated in the parlor car hooked on to the Capitol Limited the crack train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad headed for Chicago, arriving home on March 10. Keeping our promise with our dutiful wife, Mrs. Taylor to land at home on that date. Thus ends the long story of our recent pleasant two thousand mile pleasure trip through the east. LOUDLY SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF THE BROAD AX Mr. Julius F. Taylor Editor of The Broad Ax 6206 Elizabeth St., I desire to compliment you on the article in last weeks issue about the unwarranted raids made in the homes of respectable Colored people of the south side. You cited one of many cases where colored men and women are arrested, incarcerated and held for twenty four hours without being booked or given an opportunity to communicate with friends, often rushed to the Bureau of Identification and photographed and measured and then appear before the Judge next day and are discharged, because of no evidence against them. Officers in plain clothes accost them on the street, search them, without showing stars and are often taken for hold up men. They go into houses and search trunks, beds, bureaus drawers and every thing in the house breaking and tearing up clothing and if money is found, give no receipt for it but take it away with them. All of which goes to make colored men and women desperate characters, with no friendly feeling for the officer of the law. A visit to the 48th st. court any Monday morning will convince the most conservative man that the Negro of the south side is up against not only southern, but police prejudice as well. Mayor Dever was a fair minded judge and I believe a citizen of this country and his attention should be called to these outrages and a visit to this court will convince him of the injustice perpetrated on the colored citizens of Chicago.

As one of them said, it turned his musical soul inside out and he felt like a “Mother- less child.” Amid such an environment, the 200 Negro singers were quite unable tc sing international songs, and as in Robin Hood of old, with one back- step, they departed in a body from the great All-American musical festi- val. Gone were Wett, Tibbs and the Negro voices, and a silence reigned a: deep as that of Tara’s harp. The festival proceeded sadly and unmusi cally. The musical diet that was lef over for the remaining white listeners was not incomparable to a vegetable diet for an iron and steel worker. Most significant of all, however," was the fact that the Negro artists decidec for themselves in union-like style that art, the great consoler of men, (anc sometimes women, too) should be lef free, unalloyed with race hatred, un. scorched by the fires of segregation and unattired by the mantle of decep pe In his dissenting opinion in the Civil Rights Cases (1875) argued before the United States Supreme Court during the late seventies, Mr, Justice Harlan said: “Property does not become clothed with a public interest when used in a manner to make it of public consequence and affect the community at large. When, therefore, one de- votes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he, in effect grants to the public an interest in that use, and must submit to be controlle< by the public for the common good to the extent of the interest he has thus created. He may withdraw his grant by discontinuing the use, but so long as he maintains the use, he must submit: to the control.” Despite the judicial overruling o} the Civil rights cases by the U.

And now comes Little Rhode Islanc ‘with a civil rights bill, estopping dis crimination in public places, an¢ ‘otherwise, against colored people The bill has passed both houses and will probably be signed by Governor Pothier before this article reaches the reading public. It was fought vigor- ously, of course, by the few who even in this enlightened age cannot see the wide difference between social equal- ity and public liberty. It ran the gamut of lengthy debate, entailing logic and anti-logic. But upon signa- ture by the Governor it will safely follow in the wake of the Levy Bill of New York and similar bills in other states, which have shown their in creasing civilization by endeavoring te establish for colored people the pub- lic courtesy of inns, hostelries and public places of amusement frequently sought by the Negro, not because he desires social equality in its stric sense, but because,’ believing this country to be founded upon love an¢ liberty, he seeks, in a personal way the same comforts or recreation whick go with the public interest affecting the community at large.

Mayor Jones was 64 years old an¢ had resided in Brooklyn, Ill, for 4 years, For many years he was prin- cipal of the public school, later be- coming city supervisor, and since his election as mayor six years ago, he held both offices.

It is said that there were less than 50 Negroes in the camp. The whites are reported to have re- quested the foreman to discharge the Negro workérs and have them move ‘out.

Lhope you will just wait and murmur not for the world is moving and it is but fitting that I should keep up with it. Hence let it go at that. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines the other day I was in St. Louis, stopping at the Poro College, the house guest of Prof. Aaron E. Malone and his companion, Mrs. Annie M. Malone, the people who ave accomplished so much for this race of ours and are still doing, because God has had faith in them and placed them in position to do, They have heard His command and have acted accordingly, until the whole country seems to know the Malones. They do not make much fuss nor do they advertise the things they do for humanity. Mrs. Annie M. Malone is refined, cultured and modest as a young girl in her teens, Things were.good and hot when I left Jefferson City, Mo. for some of the peanut politicians wanted to oust President N. C. Young, and place therein a weaker man, but one who could be used in politics. It is a shame to kill a good institution of learning in order to pay off some political debt. Too much of this thing has been done in the schools for my people, because prejudice closes so many doors to us. They were speculating as to how Prof. Malone would stand on the question, and he was then East, but believe me, he was thereon time, and took the right course. It was to me a source of pleasure to be in St, Louis and spend a Sunday there, preaching for Rev. Dr. O. L. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and a leader among the Bap- tists of America. He carries some crowd in his church, believe me. It is wonderful to note how these churches are building up. I had the pleasure of going to the home of Mr. and Mrs, Wilburn and they are well situated. He is a rail- road mail clerk and she is grand lec- turer for the Court of Calanthe for ‘the state of Missouri, and I am told ‘that shé is a real good one at that I spent a whole day in town, and at ‘night I got me a bed in the bed car, headed for Chicago, Illinois, on the Cirtcago ‘& Eastern Illinois. I am not in a position to tell you all about this, and will not do so now, but it made some real fast time, be- lieve me, and Monday morning land- ed me right in Chicago. I had not been in the city before since last De- cember, during Christmas week, and many had been my ups and downs, for I am sure you will remember that Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, Jr. had stuck the knife way in me and let out some devil dust or something else. Such was the case, and I still remember how they kept me in bed in the John A. Andrews Memorial Hospital, Tus- kegee Institute, I got in town Monday morning and they were having a big funeral there, because it was a big man had crosse¢ over into the Great Beyond, -Frank L. Gillespie, president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company. He wa: buried in a bed of flowers, so to speak, or a garden of paradise. I was just wonderful to see how many oe were there in that church, an¢ I wonder if he got to smell any of them while he was on earth. Well he was a prosperous business man, and accomplished something while he lived. This is all I will have to say just now about this part of it, for Chicago is full of enterprises and good men and when you pass out of life they can say many good things‘ about you. People came from far and near to pay ‘a tribute to Mr. Gillespie, and the fv- oration was delivered by. the Rev. Dr. Bradby, from Detroit, Mich. jigan. = io From there I was invited by Mrs ‘Smith to join her in a taxi and sev- Ree! ieee oe i Deis th eee es when I came in touch with an enterprising young woman, Miss Pauline J. Lee, and I would that all the people of Chicago knew this young woman, and what she is doing for the whole race. If there was ever an enterprise that deserved support and attention it is this National Mu- sical School, the nly one of its kind I know of in this country, with one ‘little woman at its head. It was in- ‘spiring and helpful to me to visit this place, and I just had to shout one time at any rate. I met some of the teachers, Miss Ione Trice, and you know what a wonderful woman she is. I am going to take a whole letter later to talk about this school. It is deserving. I met Mrs. Jones there, and may tell you about her later. T came in touch with Dr. J. H. Branham, and the Rev. Dr. Petty, and several other members of the cloth, and just enjoyed myself. One day I took dimmer at the home of Charles Stewart, and what do you think, they had some turkey. He told me that it was a Christmas leftover and Mrs. Stewart said that she had been saving it for me to enjoy, for Which it is my desire to thank her right now, She is one more cooking woman. I saw Charles Stewart, Jr., with his typewriting machine grind- ing out something. for the press. Several days were spent in Chicago, and I must tell you that according to the orders of Dr. George Cleveland Hall, I could not do any getting around, because I was sick and he ordered me to go to bed, and when he speaks, his orders must be obeyed, and I just rushed to bed, and you will ‘believe me when I tell you I remained ‘there until Friday, then Dr.’ George ‘Cleveland Hall came out to see me, and told me I could make my way ae He is a wonderful doctor. He found me headed for this place. It was a nice ride from Chicago, stopping for a while at Danville, Illi- nois, visiting Misses Mary and Flor- ence Pamplin, and 1 will have to tell you about these young women in an- other letter. I was sagn in Nashville, and there two great men met me at the L. & N, stable, Dr. A. M. Town- send, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention, and Dr. Julian C. Caldwell of the A.MLE. Sunday School Union. They were there to see me go through town, and I thank them now. Dr. Townsend is getting ready to dedicate the new building as soon as it i finished, and that will be a great time. I talked with Dr. Townsend and learned of the death of another great and good. man, Dr. W. L. Craft, of the National B.Y.P.U. Board. He has stood side by side with Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, and is one more big man. But he has gone and left us to fight it out down here. About one hour was spent in Nash- ville, then off for this place. I found Prof. Herbert H. Glover, of Tuggle Institute, and secrétary-treasurer en- dowment of the Calanthe of Alabama. He was there with his wife's automo- bile car carriage to tote me to the homte of Mr. and Mrs."D. D. Mitchell Prof. Mitchell is dean of Tuggle In- stitute, and Mrs. Mitchell is one of the literary teachers, and at the head ‘of the commercial department. She is the daughter of the late Carrie A. Tuggle, and they made me welcome to their home, “You are always wel- come to our home,” said Mrs. Mit- chell, “because my mother thought so much of you, and we want to keep all of her friends.” Mrs. Mitchell is a fine musician as well as a first-class stenographer, and her husband is a noted educator: Prof. Glover was indeed kind to me, nd just toted me all around. We went out to see Mis. Florence Town- send, one of the teachers, and then ‘we went to see the baby of Editor Os- car W. Adams, It is Oscar W. the second, and indeed a fine boy. 1 want to | te the parents.

This promotion carries with it a man whose ancestors were a part of the early cofstructors of ghis govern- ment. It dates back to the year of 1634 and a trace through their history shows that they were an important part in he building of the devastated forrests. Beginning in the old com- monwealth of Massachusetts in the first records of the first Congrega- tional Church of Higham, Massachu- setts is written the Baptismal record and following therefrom tells the his- tory of their civic activities with the old Plymouth colony. In ‘every: sec- tion where they have become a part of its citizenship their constructive work towers like a mighty oak. ‘They have reached out and helpec the meek; they have taught the youth the reasons for character building they have endeavored to lead them the way to a higher civilization that the broadness of their minds might ade quately be developed to point out as was intended, the fatherhood of Go and the united principle for the bro therhood of man. This appointee, coming from th stock of the character builders o America carries to the main Post Of fice the fullness of the fundamenta principles inculeated in his being which, within itself, tells the story tha each man and woman, regardless o race, greed, or color, will receive fai and just treatment at his hand, Mr. Fred A. Bosworth, the new! appointed Assistant Superintendent 0 Delivery division, is a descendan of the characters herein described Thirty years of service adequatel equips him to fill the positior with credit and honor to. his past record. The business inter. ests of Englewood regrets to have to release him of his duties at the ol station, but appreciate the fact that h has been recognized in this manner They are fully satisfied that in ever; way he will be able to meet any emer gency that may arise and they say t those of you of whom he will becom a a part that you will never have reason to regret his associationship. Heis an-honorable member of the church founded by John Wesley and is in full fellowship with his creed. He is a member of the Masonic Order in all its branches and we are positively certain when we say that his anind is free from racial prejudice and as in the past his motto will be to recog- nize wherever it is his opportunity, the best service that can be given for the advancement of the department ‘which he stands as its head. ‘This week, ending Saturday, May 9, has been celebrated as Boys’ Week. The program for this week has been well planned to the end and it is hoped that a better understanding will be es- tablished between the parents and the boy; the attention of the adult is called to the value of the boy to his home, his community, and his country. ‘The question is asked cach father and mother, do you stress the impor- tance of preparing your boy for man- hood? Merely giving him a sip of knowledge here and there is not thorough preparation, but it is essen- tial that you lay a good solid, firm foundation that he might be better Prepared to take up the responsibil- ities of tomorrow left by you and suc- cessfully handle the commercial, financial and educational interests of the nation. Figures compiled in the Boys’ Week literature show: Seventy out of every thousand boys who pass the age of ten have a de- linquent record in one of the courts. Eighty per cent of the criminals who rob and resort to violence in the practice of crime are under the age of twenty-one, During the past year, boys under sixteen years of age stole $250,000 worth of property in the city of Chi- cago. Sixty-six per cent of all Chicago boys are under privileged and in addi- tion to this not more than one sixth of this sixty-six per cent is now be- ing effectively reached by any: boys’ organization or is any effort made for the employment of his leisure time. Here is where the trouble lies, this is why a record of this sort has been made by the boys; there is greater than ever before a need for better environments, better recreational fac- ulties. Parents, your attention and support is being sought by the var- ious clubs and other boys organiza- ‘tions such as The Boy Scouts, The Boy Builders, Y. M. C. A’s and other organizations which seek to establish a cleaner and better moral spirit in the boy. Alter boy's, week this year it is be- lieved that the parents will realize that a greater co-operation is needed between them and their boys and it is hoped that the suggestions offered by the program of this week and the many news and editorial stories that have been written in the various daily and weekly puMlications will stimulate an interest which will last throughout the year, rather than a sympathy and approval which will last only with the week.
