THE FOLLOWING LETTER SHOWS THAT HON. P. J. CARR, TREASURER OF COOK COUNTY, CAN TRACE HIS ANCESTORS BACK FOR MANY YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN THE OLD COUNTRY That County Treasurer Patrick J. Carr had a namesake on the Colonial side in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770 was the information conveyed to him by John R. O'Malley of Boston who sent him a clipping from a newspaper of that city wherein hitherto undisclosed details of the massacre were set forth. "Fire, fire if you dare," was the challenge hurled by the citizenry at the British soldiery assembled in King Street, runs the account. "In the din no one knows whether Captain Preston gave the order to fire or not, but, with or without orders, certainly without legal warning seven of the soldiers, one after the other, discharged their muskets. They are so close that it is impossible to miss. "Mingled with the sound of shots are cries of anguish. The crowd falls back pell mell revealing nearly a dozen bodies lying on the ground. Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray and James Caldwell were killed outright and Samuel Maverick and Patrick J. Carr were mortally hurt. Six others were wounded." However, it was many years after the Boston Massacre that County Treasurer's immediate forebears came to this country. HELSE HELSEY [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his lapel].

THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 24, 1926 SENATOR McKINLEY FELT HIGHLY HONORED TO BE HOLD A BRAND NEW DOUBLE COLUMN NEWSPAPER CUT OF HIMSELF ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS NEWSPAPER MAY 21, 1925, OPPOSITE TO THAT OF PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE WITH THIS NOTATION UNDER IT, "THAT PRESIDENT COOLIDGE OFTEN INVITED SENATOR McKINLEY TO DINE AND LUNCH WITH HIM AT THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT THE PRESIDENT COULD DISCUSS HIS GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES WITH HIM; THAT SENATOR McKINLEY WAS REGARDED AS THE OFFICIAL MOUTHPIECE OF PRESIDENT COOLIDGE AND HIS ADMINISTRATION."

It is far from our intention to shy away from the absolute truth at this time, in relation to the tricky and the cold-blooded treatment which the writer received from the hands of Senator William B.

Not long after the first of August past, we began to look around in our effort to hunt new business for the To start right in with the story, it will be recalled that the editor of this newspaper wended his way to Washington, D. C., March 4, 1925, to witness Hon. Calvin Coolidge sworn in as President of the United States and while remaining in that city for four or five days we came in contact with Mr. Charles J. Pickett (colored), who assists Senator McKinley to conduct or run his office in the senate office building, Washington, D. C. So on Monday morning, March 9, while we were getting ready to return home to old Chicago, Mr. Pickett informed us that "Senator McKinley wished to present us with a new picture of himself and to bid us farewell" and in a few moments from that time the Senator walked into his large reception room with the picture of himself in his left hand. In the meantime he had written the following lines on the bottom of the picture: "To my friend, Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. May his newspaper continue to increase in circulation and influence." At that point we informed Senator McKinley that his political manager had utterly failed to treat us fair or right in 1920 at his election to the United States Senate and to our statement he replied that "my senatorial headquarters will be opened up in Chicago August 1, 1925, and I have already instructed Charles Pickett to take care of you and see to it that you receive your share of newspaper advertising. After Senator McKinley had withdrawn from our presence, Mr. Pickett, whom we had always regarded as being perfectly honest and truthful up until then, spoke up and said, "You have the new double column cut made of Senator McKinley and place it on the front page of your paper right opposite to the picture of President Coolidge and on Saturday, May 21, 1925, the pictures of those two distinguished personages appeared in the columns of this newspaper, just as it had been outlined by Mr. Pickett, with the following notation under the cut of Senator McKinley: "President Coolidge frequently invites Senator McKinley to dine and lunch with him at the White House so that the President can discuss his governmental policies with him; that Senator McKinley was the head and front or the official mouthpiece of President Coolidge and his administration." Well on to one hundred copies of that issue of the paper were sent to Mr. Pickett to be distributed free among the United States Senators and the other warm friends of Senator McKinley. When the papers arrived at Washington, the Senator and Mr. Pickett were well pleased with them and with its layout and for a very short time we felt that things would soon be running pretty smooth for us but that was simply a false dream. Not long after the first of August past, we began to look around in our effort to hunt new business for the 30th anniversary edition of The Broad Ax, which appeared Saturday, September 12, and while engaged in hunting new business, we came in contact with Mr. H. A. Watkins, the real estate broker at 3510 Indiana avenue and during our conversation with Mr. Watkins he went on to state that he knew Senator McKinley well, that they were old friends and neighbors, that his private secretary, Mr. Willoughby was one of his best friends and that he would rely to a considerable extent on his best judgment and advice in dealing with the editors of the colored newspapers in this city and in other sections of the state of Illinois; that as long as he was interested in the success of Senator McKinley that he would recommend to Mr. Andrew Russel, who was at the head of the McKinley senatorial contest in this city, that it would be money well expended if he would place a hundred dollar advertisement in the 30th Anniversary edition of The Broad Ax.

McKIN- LEY, WITH THE GREAT AID OF THIS NEWSPAPER, WENT TO THE BAD ON APRIL 13 AND HE IS DOWN AND OUT IN THE POLITICAL GAME IN ILLINOIS POLITICS (Continued from page 1) our telephone rang anc “re www by was on the other end of the wire, and after exchanging pleasant “morn- ing greetings he informed us that after tatking the matter over with Mr. Rus- Sel and other$ in the McKinley head- quarters he had decided not to use any space ih the 30th Anniversary edition of The Broad Ax; that it was too early to start newspaper advertising; that if he placed ah ad in the columns of this fewspaper, all the other newspapers id toWit wodld want an advertisement. Mr. Willoughby was reminded that no other mewspaper in this city had treated Senator McKinley as fairly as he had been treated through thé col- umns of this newspaper; he replied by saying “that no one could be more fair to Senator MeKinley than we had; that he was not unmindful of that fact; that Senator McKinley felt very grateful indeed for the flattering way he had been written up in its columns from time to time.” In élosing our con- versation with Mr. Willoughby, he as- sured us that just as soon as the adver- tisements were placed in the newspa: pers that this newspaper would secure its share of advertising, which turned out to be more hot air. Not long after that time we made a desperate effort td secure some of the advertisements from the political man- agers of Senator McKinley and here is the results which followet our labors in that direction, we first called on Mr. Andrew Russel, the head po- litical boss of the McKinley outfit and after listening to our request foF some newspaper advertising he declared we were entitled to it and would receive some shortly; that he would speak to Mr. Joseph H. Barnett, who had charge of that part of the business end of the Senatorial contest that we should call in and see him in about two weeks’ time and everything would be peaches and cream. At the end of two Weeks we again called on Mr. Russel and he was so bagy that he had no time to talk tg us; that we should see Mr. Willoughby; that he was in charge of Spending the money in that direction. Then we spent two days before we finally tred him at the Great Northern Hotel, which conducts “Jim Crow” elévators, and aftet meet- ing him face to face, he requested. us to call on John Buttetman ift the New York Life building, and when we called on him he Wanted to know if Mr. Willoughby had given us an Otder for some newspaper advertising, and we responded no. Then at that point Mn W. H. Ellis, who seemingly név- er has had any real love for colored pedple, ufless they art. petiectly will- ing to cuff his shoes, walled up in front of ué and exclaimed, “You will ot receive one nickel’s worth of newspa- per advertising for Senator McKinley from this office.” And from the opening to the close of the senatorial contest not one thin dime in any manner, shape or form fell into our pockets from the pockets of Sena- tor McKinley, nor from any of his broken-down political managers, who aré dead cotks in the political pit. Shoftly after the raw deal of the double-erossing Which we received at the hands of Senator McKinley and his bunch of the most unreliable and half- dead politicians that we have ever come in contact with, we made up our mind to deal him a body blow, which woilld seHd him reeling out of the United States Senate for all time to come. For the burning article on the front page of this néwspaper April 10, set Senator McKinley on fire, which was read by many thousands of colored people Oni the south side; the article went on to state that “Senator McKia- ley was attempting to steal all of the honor and glory from Congressman L. C. Dyer in connection with his anti- lynching bill and to come right down to it Senator McKinley is not even a member of the committee in the sen- ate which has charge of the bill.

Dr. Hattis said drinking at the re- cent inter-fraternity ball of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, given at the Bellevue Stratford hotel, precipitated the decision to “black fist” future uni- versity events. “I do not mean to imply that all the couples were drunk,” Dr. Harris said, “but there were numerous men and women who plainly showed the effects of liquor, and no effort was made by anybody, as far as I could learn, either to stop the drinking or to keep the drinkers off the floor, unless they began fighting or could not stand up, accord- ing to the reports made to me.” The dear sweet young ladies should not become too bold im their drinking bouts.—Editor.

According to Mr. Pace, he was ar- rested in Memphis, Tenn., and threat- ened with imprisonment if he did not turn ovef#to the courts the books of the lodge; atid again he was threatened fith Federal imprisonment if he failed to turn over the books to a federal judge.

FISK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ESTABLISH PRECEDENT (Preston News Service) Columbus, O., April 22.—The graduating class of 1925 and 1926 at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., established a precedent last week in the group insurance of the two classes in the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio. The policies were taken out on the individual lives of the students and Fisk was made irrevocable beneficiary in each case, marbling a culmination of a nation-wide campaign for the increased endowment of the university. This unique insurance feature, probably the first of its kind successfully promoted by any company of the race, was initiated by E. L. Powell, honored alumnus of Fisk, and West Virginia state manager of Supreme Life. COLORED CARTOONIST DRAW FOR ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT Little Rock, Ark., April 23.—W. Anthony, a brilliant student of Shorten College in North Little Rock, drew the editorial cartoon for the Arkansas Democrat, a leading white daily of this city, used in its Sunday edition last week, entitled "Last Minute Tax Payers." Mr. Anthony was given full credit by the paper for the cartoon. ARSON SEEN IN DETROIT NEWSPAPER PLANT FIRE Detroit.—Fire traced to an incendiary origin destroyed the plant of the Detroit People's News, a race publication, at 4326 Milford avenue last week. The property and newspaper was owned by Mrs. Beulah Young. Investigation following the fire showed that it had been started in several sections of the building. It was also revealed that equipment had been deliberately smashed. Valuable papers of the concern were lost in the fire. The damage was covered by insurance. Cataloging THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 24, 1926 COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By THE CAMERAMAN --- (Preston News Service) 1. States' Rights and "Lefts" 2. Midnight Overtures States' Rights and "Lefts" Seizing in an iron grip the time-worn principles of states' rights, eloquent statesmen and zealous legislators, who persist in advocating the states' rights doctrines as a smoke screen barrier to the hopes of twelve million American Negroes, are working overtime to invoke this last efficacious remedy to abort the intentions of the Federal Constitution that all American men and women of every hue should indeed be free. Governors, such as Ritchie of Maryland and senators, such as Blease of South Carolina, are tireless in their efforts to prove that the Federal Constitution has usurped many of the rights of states, and that there must be an absolute return to local rule, such as was the motivating power of secession during the days of the Civil War. The Negroes of America have ever known what absolute state sovereignty, with complete disregard for the Constitutional amendments, has meant to them. It has meant a half-baked citizenship, with multiform instrumentalities of evasion so far as the full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of citizenship were concerned. It has meant disfranchisement, poor schools, jim-crow cars, and rampant segregation. The perniciousness of too much local rule, in disregard to Federal intentions, is growing more and more marked. The Indianapolis segregation ordinance and the countless other means to "keep the Negro in his place" speak eloquently and persuasively in behalf of the states' rights doctrine. Like a serpent, the technicalities of laws condoning the right of the state to take precedent over the Federal citizenship, are establishing a false citizenship here and there, and a few thoughtless Negroes are condoning the trend to make "leftovers" of their racial content. The Mayor of Indianapolis is quoted as saying that many "Hoosier" Negroes favor the segregation ordinance, and not infrequently do local groups, in their zeal to secure representation, give comfort to the ceaseless onward march of states' rights. States' rights are all right, if properly interpreted. The Constitution has clearly defined their scope and purpose; but nowhere has that historic document said that its background of absolute freedom and full citizenship should be wiped out. Negroes must return to the Constitution, and, in returning, they must bring back with them the statesmen and officials of the states' rights group who have become deputees from the mandate of the Constitution. The days of Patrick Henry, who preferred death to a deprivation of liberty, must be recalled. States rights must be made to conform to the precepts of their parent—the Federal Government and the Constitution—else we are lost. Midnight Overtures The Ku Klux Klan has come out with an astonishing overture to Negroes. In a proclamation printed as an advertisement in the "Watchman-Lantern," a Negro paper of Oklahoma, the Invisible Empire says that it is a friend of the Negro Race, which, in return, should be filled with love for the playty of Imperial Wizard Evans. The klan announces that it is a proponent of Protestantism, carrying the indirect inference that it is a foe of Catholicism. All Negroes, says the klan, should be Protestants and eschew an alliance with the Church of Rome. Forthwith, the klan unloosed its purse strings, and in Cincinnati, O., last week, gave the People's Missionary Baptist Church a purse of more than $21.00, while the members fled in a panic. If there were brain normalcy in the K.K.K. leadership, it would realize that, as hard as it has been for American Negroes to obtain an accurate knowledge of history, both secular and religious, they are fully informed of the platform and policies of the K.K.K. organization; that they know it is born of bigotry and hatred; and that the supremacy it advocates is as false as Margery, the psychic wizardess. As a matter of fact, there are tens of thousands of Negro Catholics in the United States, and there is no reason why there should not be more. If the kind of Protestantism which the klan sponsors is the same kind which prays on Sunday morning and lynches a Negro on Monday, then there is no especial reason why Negroes should not want to change their faith, now and then. Nothing in America which is founded upon group domination can hope to survive. The American theory of democracy, despite those who would tear it down, is the one Star of Hope for all Americans. Group domination, religious or otherwise, cannot muzzle the hopes and aims of all the people all the time. The midnight overture of the K.K.K. is consequently the grossest fraud which any group has tried to practice upon the Negro race since the days of slavery. It is so apparent upon its face that no Negro in America will be fooled by its clumsy artifices. As a wolf in sheep's clothing it is a grotesque joker, the history of which was wiped out when the last printer's galley which bore the proffer of the klan's friendship came off the press. In the Senate Now and then it may not be amiss to look in upon our representatives in the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives, and note the trend of their minds in their legislative guardianship of American citizens. Here follows some excerpts from the U. S. Senate record of Wednesday, April 14, 1926, at which time some notable statesmen were debating the Prohibition Law. Said Mr. Borah: "We are now, Mr. President, engaged in a great campaign to find a way by which to evade the Constitution of the United States without apparently doing so; to find a method or a means by which we can counteract or modify its terms and conditions without specifically repealing this part of the Constitution or without modifying it directly. * * * So long as the Constitution stands, one thing is more fundamental than prohibition, and that is the enforcement and upholding of the Constitution." Senator Caraway: "If we should carry out the theory that the states should be interpreters of the Constitution, you could repeal or modify the peonage law and re-establish slavery, could you not?" Senator Borah: "I suppose you could." Senator Bruce: "Did not the South after the Civil War determine for itself, without regard to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution whether it would or would not have ignorant Negro suffrage riveted upon its neck? Did not every southern man of every station in life exercise every power that lay in him to stay the consequences of the frightful curse?" Senator Borah: "Mr. President, so far as I know, every law passed by the southern states and now in force with reference to Negro enfranchisement, or the right of the Negro to vote, has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, as Constitutional." Senator Bruce: "Another illustration were those amendments of the utter vanity of passing laws that violate the primal interests of human nature. What good did they do, so far as any practical consequences were concerned? Outraged human nature claimed its rights and there is nothing which I regard with more satisfaction than the fact that when I was a boy, living in a remote countryside, all the white citizens of that community were bonded together like brothers for the purpose of nullifying those amendments to the Federal Constitution, and defeating the will of Congress, when it endeavored to enforce them; and I thank God, they defeated it." Senator Borah: "Mr. President, the senator is preaching the doctrine of Communism." Senator Bruce: "Oh, no." Senator Borah: "Yes, the senator is; he is preaching anarchy." Senator Bruce: "It is not the Senator from Maryland, but the Senator from Idaho who wishes us to recognize the Soviet Government. * * * Senator Borah: "I have said here on the floor of the Senate I thought it was a mistake to take a race which had been in slavery for 300 years and overnight put upon them the burdens and the obligations of discharging political duties in a great representative Republic, an almost impossible proposition. It required something of the Negro that no race in history could been better off to have worked out have adequately met. He would have through time and education his franchise. But I do not agree with the Senate that at present time the southern states are doing these things in violation of the Supreme Court decisions. They have worked out a solution within the Constitution, and within the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States." Senator McKellar: "That is precisely what we have done in Tennessee." Senator Bruce: "I think the less we say on the subject the better." Senator Borah: "I think so." Thus endeth the lesson Negro health is beginning to absorb a deal of attention, even in such districts as are found, both rural and urban, in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Why? Well, of course, poor health means potters' fields, hospital expenses, medicine, epidemics, and whatnot, piling up a bad name and an empty purse, the loss of the state and community which neglects its citizens. Thus writes the Welfare and Hygiene Department of Georgia, under the Sheppard Towner Act: "In one instance the work of one of our Negro nurses has reduced the Negro mortality in her county among infants and young children 52 per cent, and three Negro nurses are employed besides the services of a Negro woman physician." (Eighteen nurses comprise the total staff). Florida writes of 128 child and prenatal conferences for white children, with 2,326 examinations made; and 48 for colored children, with 3,147 examinations made. One thousand three hundred and sixty-six white mothers and 1,402 Negro mothers were given instructions in prenatal care. There were 134 class meetings for white midwives and 358 for colored; 38 dental clinics for white and 9 for Negroes. In other words, the South is beginning to use the proverbial ounce of prevention to save itself from years of neglect and indifference. Commendation is in order; but, lest we forget, while health is being given a boom, let the South turn its reciprocal tasks to the preservation of those rights and privileges which the strong, well, honest, ambitious Negro citizen seeks and deserves, but which are forever and anon denied to him. For to be well in mind and spirit it is just as important as to be well in body. WORK SCARCE IN THE NORTH Urban League Sounds Warning Urban League Sounds Warning New York City—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League acting on reports from local secretaries and advisors throughout the country, calls attention to the scarcity of work in the North. Here and there may be found small cities in which the colored man or woman may find employment, but both the large and small cities to which Negroes have been accustomed to go are plentifully supplied with laborers. Especially is this true of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Youngstown, Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Newark, and Hartford Connecticut. The general unsettled labor conditions in the East are aggravated by strikes which cause more unemployment than is usual at this time of the year. It is estimated that in New York City alone 250,000 men and women are on strike. To those who are planning to come North at this period of the year when newcomers usually leave their homes in the South, the League advises careful selection in order not to be disappointed in securing work. This suggestion seems wise in view of the number of applicants from the South seeking work above the Mason-Dixon line. ANTI-MISCEGENATION BILL IN AFRICA Capetown, S. A.—A bill has been introduced in Parliament prohibiting intermiscenegation between European males and native females under penalty of six years in prison and 15 lashes. The bills would provide imprisonment without lashes for the woman. Native female means any female, both of whose parents were or are natives. This act does not apply to colored people.

BISHOPS RANSOM AND BROOKS AT FISK UNIVERSITY Nashville, Tenn., April 19.—Students of Fisk University were greatly pleased with the recent visits of Bishops Reverdy C. Ransom and W.

Cast Iron and Rust The bureau of standards says the extent to which cast iron will rust is, of course, dependent upon the conditions to which it is subjected. For simple atmospheric exposure it is far superior to wrought iron or the ordinary forms of steels. Some of the newly developed alloy steels are just as resistant as cast iron. Heartfelt Tribute Robert came in from an encounter with the new boy who had just moved in next door. He seemed wholly unperturbed because he had a black eye, a bloody nose, and all his clothing in THE CONNS RETURN Mr. and Mrs. Charles Conn and their daughter, Elizabeth, 48 W. 45th Place, are back home from Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Conn' was confined to a hospital in Cleveland and Mrs. Conn and daughter went to be with him, while there. Mrs. Conn became confined to her bed, seriously ill. Since returning home, they have improved rapidly and are out again about their many duties. CHURCH PROGRESSING The St. Luke A.M.E. Church of Morgan Park, at 112th Place and Throop St., of which Rev. B. H. Lucas is pastor, is making much progress under his charge. On a New Quest "Well, what are you looking for now?" old Diogenes was asked. "I'm trying to locate a family that won't insist on buying things if the old man thinks they can't afford them," sighed Diogenes, as he prepared to place the millionth new battery in his old flashlight—Cincinnati Enquirer. Tribute to Moses I like to read about Moses in the Old Testament. He carried a hard business well through, and died when other folks were going to reap the fruits; a man must have courage to look after his life so, and think what'll come of it after he's dead and gone. George Elot. Red-Haired Teutons Many Teutons, proud of their blond hair and blue eyes, may thank their Stavic or Finnish ancestors who once inhabited north Germany. Red hair was found as frequently among the ancient Teutons as it is found today among the Scandinavians and the Scots. Pointers on Reading Doctor Johnson's advice is sound: "A man ought to read just as inclination leads him, for what he reads as a task will do him little good." Yet one should not dread occasional boredoms; they sheer one off to the right channel. Rejection is a great part of reading.—John o' London. Grammatical Point A collective noun may be either singular or plural, as committee, committees. The singular form requires a singular verb, unless special reference is made to the individuals included in the collective noun. For instance: A committee has been appointed; the committee are all of the same opinion.

Heartfelt Tribute Robert came in from an encounter with the new boy who had just moved in next door. He seemed wholly unperturbed because he had a black eye, a bloody nose, and all his clothing in disarray, and said affly: "Well, we got a fine neighbor boy moved in by us, mother. That kid must have made a speciality of fighting!" Japan's Big Volcano Fujiyama is 60 miles west of Tokyo and according to tradition rose from the plain in a single night. The last recorded eruption began Nobember 24, 1707, and lasted until January 22 of the following year. A bump called Hoyel-zan (9,400 feet), noticeable on the south side, was then produced. First President's Salary President Washington at first refused a salary for his services, but upon representation that this would make it difficult for anyone not able to serve gratis to assume the office, be consented to receive a sum adequate for his expenses, fixed at $25,000.
