THE FORMAL OPENING OF THE DAILEY HOSPITAL AND SANITARIUM MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15 Dr. U. Grant Dailey, who is one of the most extensively known advanced physicians and surgeons in this city and in all parts of this country, who is also well and favorably known in many parts of the old world for his skill and medical science, is just beginning to realize his dream which has haunted him for thirty years or more; namely, the establishment of a private hospital and sanitarium and that goal has been reached; for near the first of May past, Dr. Dailey and his associates Drs. Berry, Callis and Dillard moved their offices to 3736 S. Michigan avenue, the home of the Dailey Hospital and Sanitarium. It is one of the finest buildings in this city, being one of the high class mansions which were occupied by the millionaire class among the whites, located on that thoroughfare only a short time ago. At this time no attempt will be THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 13, 1926 Twenty-four Candidates Out of the Twenty-seven Supported in the Columns of This Newspaper, Won Out at the Election, Tuesday, November 2. No Other Newspaper in This City Can Surpass That Record. Even the Chicago Tribune Was Forced to Fall in Behind The Broad Ax, and Endorse and Support Hon. P. J. Carr for Sheriff Uncle Morris Eller Fell on the Outside of the Breast Works in His Race for Re-election as One of the Trustees of the Santiary District of Chicago. Many People, Residing in All Parts of This City, Firmly Believe That His Son, Hon. Emanuel Eller, Was Not Fairly Elected One of the Judges of the Superior Court of Cook County in 1923. Mr. Harvey A. Watkins Starts on the War Path to Wing His Way Into the City Council Now that the late election has passed into history it is safe to say that this newspaper cut a wider swath than any other paper published in this city, and it ran all over all of the other newspapers electing live winners among the candidates seeking the votes of the people, for all told it supported twenty-seven candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, and twenty-four out of that number won out on the day of election and the chances are ten to one that that number will be increased to twenty-five instead of twenty-four for the chances are ten to one that Hon. George F. Harding has been elected Treasurer of Cook County. The following were the Democratic and Republican candidates who were loyally supported through the columns of this newspaper: Hon. P. J. Carr, Democrat, Sheriff of Cook County; Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, Democrat, re-elected Clerk of Cook County; Hon. Edmund K. Jarecki, Democrat, re-elected Judge of the County Court; Hon. Martin B. Madden, Republican, re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois; Hon. Maurice F. Kavanagh, Democrat, re-elected Commissioner of Cook County; Hon. Emmett Whealan, Democrat, re-elected Commissioner; Hon. Ed- Mr. Harvey on the Way Int To the voters of the Second Ward. I hereby announce my candidacy for alderman to be voted for at the Aldermanic Primary, February 22, 1927, and in doing so I think the people should know what I stand for and what I purpose to do and how I would use the influence of the office on behalf of the people of the Ward. First, I stand for clean streets and alleys and would use my influence to get the necessary appropriation to do the work and would make a personal survey of the streets and alleys of all parts of the Ward and see that the ashes and garbage are moved from the alleys, that ey A. Wath ar Path to o the City sanitary conditions of the Ward might be better. Second, I would favor and use the influence of the office of the city council to secure a ward scavanger, and I believe there should be one in every ward in the city of Chicago, whose duty would be to move immediately all animals that are killed or die upon the streets and make a general survey of the sanitary condition of the ward and that such appointments should be made upon the recommendations of the Alderman of the Ward. Third, I stand for and would use the influence of the office to secure a Junior or technical High School on --- of Chicago; Hon. George Hull Porter, Democrat, elected one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago; Hon. Edward Tobin, Democrat, reelected Supt. of Schools of Cook County; Hon. A. J. Sabath, Democrat, reelected to Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois; Mr. Thomas J. Courtney, Democrat, elected to the Legislature of Illinois from the 11th Senatorial District. The above record cannot be surpassed by any other newspaper in Chicago. Four years ago, old Uncle Hon. Morris Eller, who has been the King of the Jewish people on the west side got on his self-conceited ear against the writer simply because we would not fall down on our hands and knees and worship him and permit him to boss us around; so this year not the slightest attempt was put forth by us to secure any advertising business from him and the ads which he placed in the columns of the other colored newspapers caused him to look like a dark or a black colored man in the face and the result was that the whites would not vote for him and in the end he fell very hard on the outside of the breastwork, which caused us to toss up our hat and shout with much joy. kins Starts Wing His Council the lot north of the Wendell Phillip High School, Prairie Avenue and Pershing Road; play ground and well equipped bathing beach and a recreation park with adequate community house, swimming pool, gymnasium, lawn tennis courts, baseball diamond and other athletic sports and will work and use my influence with the press and the people to bring about these long needed improvements.

I believe in the settling of the street car question for all time to come and that the street car problem should be moved out of politics and if elected to the council I shall be pleased to work with a citizens committee to be selected from the various wards of the city appointed upon the recommendation of the Aldermen of the various wards to work out the best plan for the car riders of the city of Chicago.

Street is worthy master, held a great meeting Wednesday evening at Bailey's Hall, 3638 S. State street, and was called by the members a "home coming." In addition to the regular business, seven new members were made into the lodge and plans were laid for the future development of the organization. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 13, 1926 THE MEETING HELD LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT FORUM HALL BY THE MEMBERS OF THE PHALANX CLUB WAS LARGELY ATTENDED. HON. ARTHUR C. LEUDER, POSTMASTER OF CHICAGO, WAS THE LEADING ORATOR. By King Jefferson Forum Hall, 43rd street and Calumet avenue, was the. center of much stir and ado, at 3 P. M., last Sunday afternoon. Under the auspices of the Postoffice Boys Phalanx Club, a capacity crowd assembled to pay respects and confer honor on Mr. Arthur C. Leuder, postmaster of the second largest city in the United States, and listen to the liberal outpour of oratory, punctuated here and there by cheering and applause and the rendition of an exquisite program of music, song and other delicious things. Mr. Leuder, the central figure of the Forum setting, was lauded to the skies and lifted to a pinnacle of esteem and endearment, such as to leave no doubt in the minds of the assembled hundreds as to his rating among the leaders and statesmen of our group in Chicago. If splended and gracious speechmaking, plus the master stroke of rhetorical grandiloquence will serve to advance a possible candidate anywhere, then the endorsements, recommendations and showers of laudations heaped upon the distinguished visitor, seals his fate as being the Republican nominee for the forthcoming primary contest and his elevation to the mayoralty at the spring election. Mr. Gerald Jamison acted as master of ceremonies, and we may truthfully infer that he knows thoroughly how to conduct such affairs, and covered every inch of the ground as an able and judicious presider. There was a stupendous supply of intellectuality and oratorical reserve on hand, well capable of arousing, electrifying and intensifying the interest of the most dormant and indifferent, not to mention the public-spirited and racially patriotic. Along with this eddying flood of enthusiasm and its infectious manifestations, breezed a heart to heart current of understanding and approval, with sufficient presto to whip in line the most carping critic or ruffled-up opponent. Major R. R. Jackson, fighting Alderman from the third ward, winner and holder of many victories for his race and major general of the Knights of Pythias throughout the world, electrified his audience by the sorcery of his eloquence and masterful delivery, and turned the whole meeting into what might be termed a lovefest of harmony and unity. Hon. George T. Kersey, of the widely-famed undertaking firm of Kersey, McGowan and Morsell, and state representative-elect from the third district, also captured the gathering by the brilliance of his oratorical ability. The cheering and demonstration which greeted his discourse were in keeping with his popularity and versatility. Ex-Judge William H. Harrison, who GARY NEGRO LEADERS IN G.O.P. IGNORED BY K.K.K. POLITICIANS (Preston News Service) Gary, Ind., Nov. 12.—Self-appointed Negro political "leaders" here, who have been boot-licking the K. K. K. Republican party bosses because they have been offered candidates on the Republican ticket at the recent election, received a shock a few days before the election when the Republican ticket posters were distributed. The posters contained the pictures of all the candidates except the Negroes. They say they can't understand why the white Republican leaders who have filled them full of nice sounding phrases and promised them backing of the party for their candidates, in return for the delivery of the colored vote, should forget to include their pictures on the posters. A prominent Negro minister here told some of his friends that this is just one of the humorous things that are cropping out'in the attempt of the K. K. K. Republican party to get the Negroes' vote. As a protest an organization has just been formed and called the "New Day Political Club." It is said that this organization plans to support the Democratic party as a rebuke to the insincere Republican bosses. The U. N. I. A., another organization here, claims that it supports men and measures. It makes an effort to advise its membership to support candidates friendly to the race regardless of party. One old timer remarked that "the it may be fittingly said, possesses a silver voice, capable of lifting mortals to the skies, and dragging angels down, also held the assembly spell-bound by the magnetism of his oratorical efforts, and drew the finishing literary touches on the afternoon's downpour of spellbinding. Hon. E. H. Wright, member of Governor Small's commerce commission and committeemen from the second ward, probably the greatest Roman of them all of our group in the Middle West, also added verbal splendor to the munificence of the afternoon's oratory by introducing the speaker of the day to the crowd assembled there. Mr. Leuder, who has made some history in Chicago in his relations to our people and other varieties, delivered a fine, practical, business-like address. He is no more the overcautious speaker we found him four years ago; but his continued advent in the limelight of publicity has developed him into a polished, impressive and forceful orator. And we may borrow the phrase of a certain great writer that "he suits the action to the word and the word to the action," and so holds the mirror up to Nature so as to leave no doubt of the purpose and intent of his discussion. He prudently cautioned the colored postoffice workers against the indulged practice of contracting debts and obligations and failing to live up to the letter of such transactions. He declared himself a staunch and fair-dealing friend of the colored citizen and civil service employees, and further went on record of being in favor of awarding credit and renumeration wherever and whenever meritorious service made such action imperative. And judging by the prolonged applause which greeted the remarks of the distinguished speaker, he positively acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the throng which had gathered there to receive the utterance of his speech. Mrs. Lettitia Meyers, one of the patronesses of the Cultured Arts in Chicago, conducted the musical end of the program, and added new laurels to her career and versatility by presenting one of the most brilliant displays of talent ever witnessed in Forum Hall. Mr. Solomon Bruce gave a captivating exhibition of dramatic art and expression, by his fascinating literary recitations. Miss Lode Bond transported the gathering to the Land of Beulah by the witchery and mastery of her instrumental performances: On the whole, the Postoffice Boys' Phalanx Club's meeting, staged in honor of Chicago's efficient postmaster, terminated a certified success, commendably and creditably executed. white folks just do these Negroes anyway they please. They know that these organizations will be dead when the next election time comes. The colored voters will forget past insults and fall right in line with the white folks and be fooled again. This goes on all the time. Maybe some time my people will remember insults from one election to another and act accordingly." SLAYER OF MRS. DUDLEV HAS TRIAL DELAYED TWO WEEKS Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—The Police Trial Board Wednesday postponed for two weeks the trial of Pvt. George S. Davis, aged 36, of the second precinct, who is charged with slaying "without provocation, cause or excuse," Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, aged 32, wife of Sherman H. Dudley, wealthy theater owner, while at the Dudley apartments, 1316 You street, N. W., on September 21. Bertrand Emerson, counsel for Davis, said he had not been able to see Davis to prepare a defense. Davis is now lodged in the District jail awaiting trial, having been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of murder. The policeman, who is said to have been an ardent admirer of Mrs. Dudley, who had been estranged from her husband, shot her on learning of her reconciliation with her husband, and then turned the weapon on himself. Though wounded in the head, he recovered, but lost his sight. SOUTH CAROLINA SHERIFF ACCUSED OF COMPLICITY WITH LYNCHERS (Preston News Service) Aiken, S. C., Nov. 12—Nollie Robinson, Sheriff of Aiken county, aged 41 years, was accused Thursday of delivering to the mob which lynched three Negroes, one a woman, on the morning of October 9. Robinson is the man who was hailed in newspaper dispatches in April, 1925, as the savior of Negroes when another mob sought to lynch them. They had been arrested and charged with killing a sheriff. It is said that a mob of several hundred surrounded the Aiken jail and he threatened to shoot the first man who made an effort to seize the Negroes and the crowd broke up and went away. Before the coroner's jury Robinson testified that he was overpowered suddenly by men who had gained access to the jailer's house after he had pleaded with them to disperse. He swore that he recognized none of them and fired two shots in the struggle before he was disarmed. The jury took his word and returned a verdict that the lynchings had been done "by persons unknown." The grand jury met and questioned a few witnesses and reached the same verdict. On last Thursday there appeared before two of the men who have been most outspoken in their criticism of the lynchings—Austin H. Johnson, a defeated candidate for sheriff, and James L. Quimby, an eccentric gentleman of middle age—two prisoners who were in jail at the time the three Lowman Negroes were taken from the building and lynched. The two prisoners were Mrs. Lucy Mooney (white), of Augusta, Ga., and Charles E. Lee (white), of Savannah, Ga. The first, a girl about 19 years old, occupied a cell on the same floor as that of Bertha Lowman. The Mooney woman said she was being held there as a State witness in a liquor case, having been caught by Robinson's deputies walking away from an automobile in which they found liquor. She said the cell she occupied is a part of a separate tier from that for Negro women prisoners, but through the bars of the aperture in the big steel door shutting off that tier she could watch the steps down which Bertha Lowman could have been brought by the lynchers. It is also said that the steel flap over the aperture in the steel door was not closed on the night of the lynching. Georgia Woman Makes Affidavit Of what the Georgia woman says she saw, she swore in an affidavit Thursday before Mr. Quimby, as a notary public, her affidavit states: "I was put in Aiken jail the latter part of September, 1926, by Officer John Salley as a State witness in a Prohibition case and was released last Friday P. M., October 29. On the morning of October 8 I was in my cell and was awakened by the doorbell ringing downstairs. I saw four cars outside on the bridge—two Fords, one Chevrolet. The group of men stayed down stairs about twenty-five minutes to the best of my knowledge. The crowd was laughing and talking. "During the twenty-five minutes they had secured the two Lowman Negroes—that is the two boys (whose cells were on the lower floor)—and then five men came upstairs to get Bertha Lowman. I was standing up at the door. Jailer Taylor had a lantern and it was Taylor that unlocked the door of the cell of Bertha Lowman. Sheriff Robinson took her from her cell. He was accompanied by A. D. Sheppard (one of his deupties), J. Percy Hart (Constable to Gov. McLeod of South Carolina), and Road Officer John Salley. "Bertha began crying when she got opposite my door. As she was at the top of the staircase she heard her brothers screaming and she got louder. They told her to hush. Sheriff Robinson told her to hush. At this time Robinson was behind, Salley in the lead, Hart and Taylor also behind the woman. At this time the pistol shots were fired down in the jailer's kitchen, the only shots fired in the jail that night at all. "I ducked my head down while they were passing my door and Salley stuck his flash light in my door, but he did not see me and he passed on. That was as they came up." "I was looking right at Sheriff Robinson when the shots were fired and he was up stairs. "I have lived at Ellenton seven years, my stepfather being a constable at Ellenton. Sheriff Robinson has been to our house many times, and my stepfather has helped the officers in raids. I know all the officers and I am 107 LPEU HON.

He put out the lights about 8:30 P. M., an incident that had never occurred before during the five months' that I was incarcerated in that jail "The next morning E. R. Buckingham came to my cell and told me to keep quiet. He told me to claim that I was asleep after I had told him what I saw the night before. Buckingham lives at Ellenton and I have known him for several years. Jailer Taylor told me that Buckingham was a member of the grand jury. Mrs. Taylor, wife of the jailer, came to me the next day and told me to keep my mouth shut. "The next day Sheriff Robinson came to me also, at the cell and asked me if I knew anything about the lynching, I told him that I recognized the Sheriff, Taylor and Salley, I not calling Sheppard or Hart's name to him he turned deathly pale and denied that he was with them. He turned and walked away and has never mentioned it since that time. "After they had gotten outside I was loking out of the window and saw Demon Lowman (the elder of the two Negro boys), jump from the car. I heard one man holler three times, 'shoot him.' At this time they were out of my sight, but I heard immediately three shots fired." Mrs. Mooney for many years an orphan child and not very literate, signed her affidavit with a cross, complaining she was too cold to write good enough, and her name was signed for her as Mrs. Lucy Mooney, her mark. The affidavit of Lee differs somewhat from that of Mrs. Mooney. Lee says: "When we retired I understood they were going to lynch them that night.

He put out the lights about 8:30 P. M., an incident that had never occurred before during the five months' that I was incarcerated in that jail. The light at the courthouse and the light on the bridge burned all night. One car was at the bridge watching under the street light. This car moved up and got with the other cars. The woman was loaded last, she crying and hollering. I being a stranger in the county could identify only such persons as I had got acquainted with since my being in Aiken. "I identified positively Constable Hart and Policeman John Salley, they being with a party of five or six that came up to get Bertha Lowman, and I swear I took one of them to be Sheriff Robinson. They had a big flash light with them. All prisoners were afraid of being lynched if they divulged anything that took place on that night. "At the time the colored woman was being brought down stairs was when the two shots were fired down stairs. The grand jury never came to the jail at any time to get any information about the things that went on that night." REV. MATHIS BURIED IN GEORGIA Mme. Ezella Mathis Carter, one of the best known business women, 4509 Prairie avenue, was called to Atlanta, Ga., last week on account of the death of her father, Rev. A. A. Mathis. Rev. Mathis was one of the best known ministers in Georgia and was highly respected by all. During his life, Rev. Mathis visited Chicago with his daughter and became well known in the north. Mme.

COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By THE CAMERAMAN (Preston News Service) That all that glitters is not gold is being aptly illustrated in Washington, D. C., in residential quarters where restrictive covenants against colored people are in full force and effect. In fact, the restrictive covenant, heralded as a savior of domestic integrity when the Curtis case was decided, was a species of boomerang in the deep disguise of segregation. The fact is that real estate sharks and avaracious property-holders are not infrequently singing the "blues" over their inability to dispose of "choice" properties, because of some clause which was once written in to not a few deeds. Too, colored people have become wary of properties which have a scintilla of restrictiveness about them. Rather, they are hying to apartment houses instead of making payments upon eighteen and twenty thousand-dollar homes, only to struggle with a faulty title and with judges' decisions. What is the net result? Not a few white owners have upon their hands properties which no one will either rent, lease or buy. Just around the corner, perhaps, Negroes have located, adding as much color to the situation as would obtain were they block neighbors. And the owners find an ugly "white elephant" upon their hands. Their own groups don't want such houses because they're too near the colored people; and the latter don't BULLETIN No. 82—PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST PICK-POCKETS By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins With the approach of the winter season the danger of having your pocket picked becomes greater. Do not carry any more money on your person than is absolutely necessary for your immediate needs. This advice is particularly directed to women. Do not carry large sums of money in handbags. A dangling handbag is always an invitation to a pickpocket. When riding in public elevators grip your handbag or purse securely with both hands so that it cannot be opened. Always guard yourself against being jostled in crowded places. Keep on the edge of the crowd as much as possible. Women when shopping should not lay their handbags or purses carelessly on the counter. Beware of affable elderly women shoppers who are anxious to make your acquaintance. Men should use extreme caution when carrying large sums of money on their person. When you carry your wallet in your hip pocket you are easy prey for a thief.

Senate and the House of Representatives, has been called by the President, to take place in Honolulu, Hawaii, April 11 to 16, 1927. This conference will consider the Education, Rehabilitation, Reclamation and Recreation of all countries bordering upon the Pacific ocean and having territorial interests in the Pacific, including the colonial governments. Invitations have been issued by the U. S. Secretary of the Interior, who has immediate charge of the Conference, to all territories and outlying parts of the United States, a group comprising Alaska, Canal Zone, Hawaii, Philippines, Porto Rico, Samoa and the Virgin Islands. Aside from the colored content in certain of the above named territories, many colored people are found in the Pacific ocean group, to whom, certainly, there is nothing more important than the topics to which the Conference will give its fullest attention. The Virgin Islands, particularly, are in need of advice and action relative to peaceful arts and pursuits, reclamation questions, and educational facilities. These matters are essential to the progress the Islands are making toward absolute citizenship. It is to be hoped the Virgin Islanders and the other colored groups will prepare their briefs in such substance and form as will insure them a full hearing as to their needs under the Pan-Pacific Conference, which can easily be made Pan-American at the same time. DR. GEO. E. HAYNES DELIVERS ADDRESS AT SESQUICENTENNIAL. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 12.—As one of the principal speakers at an interracial meeting under the auspices of the State Department of Welfare, held at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, Thursday night, November 4, Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, said in part: "The Negro in America is combining the Oriental, non-militant attitude of the East with the positive aggressiveness of the West in a remarkable manner. He readily embraces, therefore, the vision of Christian brotherhood that came out of Palestine. "In practical interracial cooperation, however, it does not take the form of non-cooperation as does Brahminism in its expression through a great soul like Ghandi. Ghandi's attitude is non-cooperation in modern industry and agriculture. The Negro puts the positive content in his attitude and says he will cooperate on a brotherly basis of equal opportunity. Ghandi, of the East, will not participate in the government under British law. The Negro of the West says, 'I am an American citizen and as such will cooperate to get a larger measure of justice and fair play in the courts under American law.' "Ghandi takes on the practice of poverty as a protest against the unethical standards that are pouring in upon him. The Negro seeks through his great church organization the way of life laid out by Jesus Christ as a means of raising the ethical standards of his time and country. The Negro challenges America to interracial peace and brotherly fellowship based upon positive justice and good will." MEXICO BARS NEGROES FROM ENTRY; INFLUX FROM B.W.I IS REASON Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 11.—An influx of Negroes from the British West Indies, suspected as having been brought on by employers in an attempt to lower labor standards because of their backwardness and ignorance of unionism, has led to an official bar against the Negroes by the Mexican government. All incoming Negroes will be stopped at port and border points. It is said that many of the West Indian Negroes are suffering considerable unemployment, pitiful low wages and brutal oppression of British imperialism, and for the most part are entirely unacquainted with unionism, even when the strict British rule permits them to exist. In many cases, it is said, such unions as exist are controlled by traitors of their own race, who do little to advance the standards of unionism THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 13, 1926 PETER J. H. HARRIS THE LATE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON He was the founder of the far-famed Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; he was the father of industrial education which has in ten years' time spread to all parts of the world. At this time the people everywhere, both white and colored, should join hands and assist to sound his ever-lasting praises for he was one of the greatest benefactors of humanity that has so far appeared upon the face of the broad green earth! BOOKER T. WASHINGTON GOOD AMERICAN CITI ENTIRE RACE URGED TO ADOPT PRAYER FOR RELIEF FROM OPPRESSION President of League Offers a Form of Prayer for Nation-wide Use Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 8.—An appeal to the race to adopt incessant individual prayer and group prayer as a measure of relief from prescription was issued today by the president of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. George Frazier Miller, pastor of St. Augustine's P. E. Church here. This is the first measure of the Sesqui-centennial Plan of Crusade of Rights, adopted by the league at its 19th annual meeting and race convention in the birth city of the Declaration of Independence last month. The plan, designed to carry out the Sesqui Declaration of Rights there framed, advises also independent voting for men and measures, union of all kinds of race bodies to use the political and economic resources to compel relief from segregation, disfranchisement, lynching, and proscription, also membership in one or more civil rights' organizations. It urges formation of racial Equal Rights League especially during Sesqui-centennial year. President Miller urges that Nov. 25th be made a nation-wide Day of Prayer for deliverance from the wrongs and injustices which we suffer as the people, on Thanksgiving Day, unite to pray for continued prosperity and blessing. The Race Prayer The president of the National Equal Rights League sends greetings to the colored people of America, and requests them, in their devotions Thanksgiving Day, or other days of prayer and religious devotions, to petition our Heavenly Father with the invocation following, or with prayers to like effect: O Almighty God, who art a most strong tower to all those who put their trust in Thee, whose Holy Spirit directs and defends the souls of faithful men, do Thou protect the weak throughout this broad land of the United States of America, and show to their oppressors the light of Thy truth, to the intent they may see the error of their ways, and turn to the meeting out of justice to all mankind, in Thy faith and fear, that Thy Name may be glorified wherever it is known, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Holy Lord, we humbly pray that Thy mercy and grace may rest upon this land wherein we dwell; and that through a knowledge of the truth and a quickened sense of justice, all villainy, fraud, injustice, and oppression may be driven from the borders hereof; and the hearts of the disobedient may be turned to the wisdom of the just, to the honor of Thy Holy Name. Amen. O Thou Ever-loving and Merciful God, who hast made of one blood all nations of men that dwell on the face of the earth, show to the doers of injustice the viciousness of their way; make them to know that wickedness, murder and rapine cannot eternally thrive, and that those who practice such atrocities toward their fellow men must finally be brought to desolation through the certain vengeance of the God of justice and right who will cast down the mighty from their seats, and evermore establish truth and righteousness in the land. Amen. PENNSYLVANIA PRISONER DIES IN WESTERN PEN- ITENIARY Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 12.—Charles N. Johnson, aged 46, an inmate of Western Penitentiary, died Wednesday night of heart failure in the penitentiary hospital. Johnson was committed from Washington county. KIP SAYS HIS ALICE DECEIVED; ASKS NEW, TRIAL FOR SEPARATION New York, Nov. 10.—Attorney Isaac N. Mills completed his appeal for a new trial and to set aside the verdict in the annulment suit unsuccessfully brought by Leonard Kip Rhinelander against his colored wife, Alice Jones Rhinelander, before the Appellate court here today. He reviewed the charge of Justice Morschauser to the jury and what he contends were the prejudicial actions and words of counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander. Most of the argument on both sides was as to whether or not Rhinelander could have known that she was of colored blood, whether his eyes did not show him sufficient proof and whether to prove fraud it were necessary for Mrs. Rhinelander to tell him of her color to prevent deception. "We were somewhat surprised that the plaintiff's attorneys did not contend at the outset that their client was blind or at least color blind, instead of 'brain tired,'" Samuel Swinburne, Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney, said. "Rhinelander knew this defendant, her immediate family, and relatives for months." RIGHT VIEW OF LIFE Riches and honor are what men desire; but if they attain to them by improper ways they should not continue to hold them. Poverty and low estate are what men dislike; but if they are brought to such condition by improper ways, they should not feel shame for it.—Confucius. Mr and Mrs. J. W.

Bundesen, M.D., Commissioner Four hundred and eight babies under one year of age died from pneumonia during the period November 1, 1925, to March 31, 1926. This is a fearful loss of life when it is considered that many of these deaths could have been prevented. ARKANSAS WHITES ACQUITED OF MURDER AND HOLDUP OF NEGRO (Preston News Service) Camden, Ark., Nov. 11.-S. D. Brown, of Mt. Ida, was acquitted in circuit court here Wednesday afternoon of the murder of Cranfield Frazier. The jury deliberated only 25 minutes before reaching a verdict of not guilty. Brown was indicted jointly with V. H. Wheeler. It is believed the case against Wheeler will be no乳 proxied Lack of sufficient ultra-violet rays in the sunshine during the winter months produces rickets in babies. Rickets is a disease of the bones and nutrition which lowers the resistance of babies to colds and pneumonia. In order to receive enough of the much needed energy derived from sunshine, especially during the winter months, every baby should be given cod liver oil, and also as much direct sunshine and fresh air as possible. Cod liver oil is very rich in Vitamin "D," the great defense against rickets and colds. Cod liver oil has much the same effect on the baby as has the outdoor sunshine, and for that reason it has been called "bottled" or "hidden" sunshine. Cod liver oil should be taken by older children and adults as well, to build up the resistance against colds and pneumonia. Cod liver oil now comes in almost tasteless form and every child may easily learn to like it. There is health in every bottle of cod liver oil. QUEEN MARIE LOVES OUR COLORED BOYS Queen Marie of Roumania declared that Negroes remind her of the gypsies of her own country. "Ah, these colored boys!" she exclaimed when she saw a crew of Negro workmen on the railroad near Baltimore. "They're so delightful! I love these colored boys. They remind me of the gypsies of my own country. I love them!" Just what the Queen intends to do about it, we cannot say. Perhaps when the King hears about it he will send all his horses and all his men to bring Queen Marie back to Roumania again. As far as we have been able to learn, not one colored man or woman in this city has been selected to serve on the reception committee which will welcome the Queen to this city; it seems that the royal lady of Roumania dearly loves colored people and no doubt she would have been much pleased to come in contact with them in the receiving line while the high honors are being showered upon her in this city—Editor.

Brown was indicted jointly with V. H. Wheeler. It is believed the case against Wheeler will be nolle prossed. Brown and Wheeler were alleged to have clubbed Frazier to death near Louann on the night of April 22, last. Frazier was said to have some money which the two white men stole. During the trial the defense showed that Frazier had fought with the white men and during the fight they hit him with a broom handle, but did not know they had killed him. BINGA BANK GIVES TROPHY TO BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA The Binga State Bank of Chicago has presented to the Douglas Division of the Boy Scouts of America a beautiful bronze trophy. This trophy is to be awarded each year to the most efficient Scout troops in all around Scout activities.

THE BROAD.AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 13, 1926 "Viaduct" and "Bridge" A viaduct is a bridgellike structure especially a large one of arched masonry, to carry a roadway or the like over a valley or ravine or across another roadway. A bridge is a structure erected across a waterway, ravine, road or the like, serving for the passage of persons, animals or vehicles, or as a means of support and transit as for a water main. "Bridge" can be used in a more general sense than "viaduct" can. Remarkable Resemblance Feature for feature, inch for inch and ounce for ounce, Kazuo Kaneko and Tsugo Kaneko, twins, in Tokyo, are so much alike that even their parents were unable to distinguish between them. In voice, manner, likes and dislikes they are duplicates. Called to the colors recently, the examining officers could find no identifying marks so were forced to affix marks to their ear lobes so that commanding officers might know to which one they were giving orders. Wrist Watch Isn't So New Wrist watches are not strictly a product of modern times. One was presented to Queen Elizabeth by the earl of Leicester in 1572. It was described as "an armlet or shakell of gold, all fairly garnished with rubies and diamonds, having in the closing thereof a clock."

Corner 31st Street, Chicago Absence of Standard Although one of the officers of the corps of gentlemen-at-arms, the principal bodyguard of King George of England, always has borne the title of standard bearer, the corps was without a standard for centuries. Its colors were lost at the latch of Naseby, when the bodyguard of gentlemen-at-arms was destroyed to the last man while defending King Charles I from the Roundheads, holding the latter in check so as to permit the monarch and his son, afterward Charles II, to escape, recalls a writer in the New York Sun. The standard vanished on that occasion and presumably was destroyed, for it never has been seen since. Neither Charles II nor his successors saw fit to present new colors to the corps and the very absence of the standard served to recall the heroisom of the gentlemen-at-arms at Naseby until the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the corps in 1900, when King Edward presented his bodyguard with a new standard, a beautiful affair, embroidered by the wives and widows of former captains of the corps, all peeresses of the realm. Monks' Orange Trees A few orange trees brought from Spain by Franciscan monks in 1769 and planted in mission grounds marked the beginning of a citrus industry in California which approaches a yearly turnover of $100,000,000,000. The first orchard of any size was planted in 1804 or 1805 near the San Gabriel mission, ten miles from where Los Angeles now is. Four hundred seedlings covered six acres. Early records say extensive orchards were developed and were exceedingly prolific, although John C. Fremont, who visited the Franciscan establishments after their secularization in 1834, said little remained of the orchards then. The navel, California's winter orange, was planted extensively in the 70s on desert land which had been considered worthless. The navel orange of today is one of the big four of citrus fruits. The valencia orange was brought from the Azores islands in 1865. Lemons were imported from Australia and Sicily. Self-Command First No man is free who cannot command himself. -Pythagoras.
