1t was really amusing to note TIT
side-stepping INDUCED in by some O.
the witnesses who appeared at the
trial of Officer F. A. Arts case be
fore the Civil Service Commission
last Wednesday.
One or two of the witnesses on
each side, backed back and gulped
down a large amount of black crow.
AS stated before, Officer Arts, I'M
der oath, emphatically declared, that
at no time nor place had he ever
circulated evil reports which re-
flected on the ladylike conduct OF
Mrs. So and So.
Right at that point, Attorney J.
Gray Lucas was willing to prove by
Miss Gertrude Day, who was pres
ent, that either in the latter part o.
December, 1911, or in the first part
of January, 1912, that she attended
a meeting of one 81 the women's
clubs and was a member of it as
well as Mrs. F. A. Arts.
That Mrs. Arts exclaimed in the
presence of many of the ladies pres
ent at the meeting. that it must be
true that Mrs. So and So was ar
rested for taking something from
one. of the down town department
stores, which did not belong to her.
That her husband, who has been a
police officer for four or FIVE years
saw the husband of the lady in ques-
ton, at the Clark street police sta
ton a few mornings prior to that
time, and his only object in visiting
it was to secure the release or the
freedom of his wife.
For some cause or other, the
members OF. the commission would
not permit Miss Day to mount the
witness stand and tell her side OF
the highly interesting story.
Col. S. B. Turner, who is promi.
ner4, I'M Republican politics, freely
admits that he called on Mayor Car.
ter H. Harrison for the purpose Of
having his honor to use his influence
with the Civil Service Commission
in behalf of Officer Arts, and il
looks as though the strong influence
of Col. Turner saved the day foi
him.

With the close If the county CAM
paign but two weeks away, Repub-
lican leaders of all factions have
practically conceded the nomination
of State Senator Samuel \. Ettel-
son for States Attorney. Efforts by
the Committee of 100 TO elect its slate
of candidates has been conferred with
in the last few days on its candidre
for that Office, but after the canvass
returns were compiled at the head
quarters the silent word was sent
out that Ettleson would be the NOM
ince and that all energy must be di-
rected to keep the slate from being
broken" in other sections.
Senator Ettelson has made one of
the most energetic campaigns that
Chicago and Cook county has seeH.
having made over 800 speeches so
far in the campaign. and having
travelled more than 800 miles TO do
so. His itinerary has taken him into
practically every ward in the city
and Ettelson precinct clubs have
been organized in every ward. Mr..
Ettelson has been making his race
as a candidate of the people unsup-
ported by any political faction. and
his predicted victory is all the more
remarkable as the other candidates
have all been in the field supported
by regular political organizations and
having the backing of so-called
SLATE makers"
After a canvass of the wards made
by Ettelson ward workers, Mr..
Charles Weinfeld. campaign mana
ger for Senator Ettelson, issued .
statement predicting Mr.. Ettelson's
victory by 1900, and the statement
was unchallenged by the opposition
campaign managers who privately
have been admitting Mr.. Ettelson's
coming victory.

There are some evil minded white
and Colored men residing in the lst
Senatorial District. who are endeav-
oring to induce the honest CoIored
voters in that district to vote for
sherry High and against Mr.. Green,
at the primaries, Tuesday, April g,
so that two white men, Republicans
and one white Democrat will be elect
ed to the Legislature and no Colored
man.
The Colored voters in the lst and
End wards will have no one to blame
but themselves if they join in this
scheme to assist to defeat Mr.. Green
for the nomination at the primaries, if
they do so it will be the first time in
many years in this state that the COL
ored people have madly assisted to
deprive themselves of representation
in the Legislature.
Therefore the Colored voters in
the wards referred to are earnestly
admonished to think twice before
they vote once on Tuesday, April 9.
Let them remember tina a man like
Ed. Green is needed at Springfield at
this time to block the game of the
Hyde Park Protective Association
from having enacted special law, es-
tablishing separate schools for white
and Colored children in this city and
throughout the State of Illinois.

Senator EttelSOn will win by IS.
0CO." said Mr.. Weinfeld we have
received our reports from our ward
and precinct workers. and after 90
ing over the situation very carefully
| make this estimate. although our
figures show even larger than that.
Senator Ettelson's campaign has
been made as a candidate Of the
people and we are confident that
the Republican voters have decided
that Mr.. Ettelson is the man they
want to place in the States Attor-
ney's Office where they demand a
square deal and fair treatment"
Senator Ettelson's record in the
Senate where he has introduced or
supported every measure of import
ance to Chicagoans. has been making
hundreds of votes for him. His en-
dorsement by the Legislative Vot-
ers' League. given after one term at.
Springfield, was in unmeasured terms
and declared him to be efficient and
aggressive on behalf of good meas
ures." His support of the cheap
school book bill has saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the poor
Neople Of the CITY who are endeavO'-
ing to educate their children; the
anti-white slave law was passed
mainly through his efforts. Senator
Ettelson directed the Senate fight
for the direct primary bill which IS
now a law. and he has ready a pre-
ferential primary bill to be introduc-
ed in case Governor Deneen calls
special session of the Legislature to
give the people chance to vote tor
their choice for presidential nomi-
nees. The Woman's Ten Hour Law
was also a measure that Senator En-
tclson is given credit for by its sup
porters. n

Col. Aug. w. Miller.
Republican Candidate for Board of Assessors

In 1896 he was elected Alderman o
the old 10th Ward and reelected to
that Office in 1898, and resigned As
Alderman because of his election as a
member of the Cook county Board
of Assessors, which was newly
created at that time.
Col. Miller is prominent Sind de
gree Mason, Royal Arcanum, Royal
League and Knight of Pythias.

Col. Miller has always been a
strong Republican and one of the Big
German-American leaders of his
party on the West and North Sides.
Lastly he has also been friendly to
the Afro-Americans and when any
worthy Colored man or woman has
occasion to visit his Office on official
business he possesses enough of
common sense to treat them with the
amount of decency that they deserve,
and that is one of the many reasons
why many thousands of Afro
American voters will help to put him
over at the primaries Tuesday. April
9Th and make it possible for him to
continue to serve as one of the mem
bers of the Board of Assessors oi
Cook County.

THE EXACT UTTE2ANcES OF
COL. JAMES HAMILTON
LEWIS BEFORE THE
PRESS CLUB.

The following letter explains IT.
self as to the exact utterances Of
Col. James Hamilton Lewis while
addressing the Press Club last Sat-
urday evening:
Chicago. March Is, 1912.
Julius F. Taylor.
Editor The Broad Ak,
5O27 Armour Avenue.
Dear Editor Taylor, will you
please publish in your paper this
note of mine to you?
Yesterday morning some OF the
Chicago papers published extracts OF
my speech before the Press Club
Saturday. night. in their reception to
the Press Club of Milwaukee. and
quoted a bit of humor from me
touching an old Colored man. and
intimated that was referring to
the difficulties of the Colored people
in connection with voting" etc.
You can understand that a paper
trying to report man speaking rap
idly. and then telephoning the matter
m. and then the editor boiling it
down, might produce it in a way
that would carry suggestions which
were never in the mind OF any
writer, and would never have been
allowed by such friends as ! have on
all the papers.
/ called attention of the Wisconsin
club that in their State the issue was
whether a Republican Senator could
buy his seat from Republican legis-
lators for $4,000. In this State, if
a Republican Senator could buy his
seat from Democratic legislators for
$4,000, and / said that after all, it
appeared that the only issue in poll
tics in these days between the par
ties, was that which an old Colored
friend had related to me concerning
a Republican voter in our last city
election. And then ! told about his
getting SllOO from the Republican
committee 800 from the Demo
Gratis. and then voting with the DEM
ocrats. and giving as his reason that
the Democrats were less corrupt.
And used that to illustrate that it
seemed to me that after all. in GER
tain localities, the only difference in
our parties just now was the ques-
ton of price-in too many instances.
As the Colored people have always
been my friends. could not let the
intimation that / had made some I'M
necessary slur, remain, when | know
such was not intended by the paper
which published it. and would not be
regarded as coming from me except
through misinterpretation of read
ers.
The matter was called to my at
tention, and I am calling the matter
to your attention that my friends
among the Colored people-should
they see twill naturally understand
the matter.
With personal regards,
Yours very truly,
James Hamilton Lewis.

After well spent life of 73 years. the spirit of Dr. J. E. Stone took it's flight to rhe land of eternal rest, Friday morning at l;l5. March lj, 1912. His death was not unexpected, for he had been in ill health since the greatest sorrow of his life oc- cured-the death of his beloved wife on May 8, 1905, nevertheless his passing away causes regret and sorrow among his many friends here and elsewhere.
 Dr. J. F.. Stone was native of Virginia, having been born at Boyton Va, on February l9, 1889. He at tended the schools of his native county during his early childhood, but received his literary education principally in Tennessee.

The Great Political Prophet.

Mir. Eugene Williams, manager of Donaghey's campaign" is here. He blew in Sunday night. Monday he consulted all the friends of good gov ernment" and other voters, and Tues day prophesied, as he had been ordered to do, that the governors nomination was certain. Won't that announce ment be a surprise to the people of the state when they find out who Prophet Williams is? He is the TREASURER OF THE ST. FRANCIS LEVEE BOARD, WHICH THE GOVERNOR APPOINTED, and is Forrest City banker He handles about S250, 900 a year of the levee taxes and pays no in- terest on it. He lends this money tc farmers and others and charges inter- est. The interest does not go to the levee board fund-where does it go? Ask Prophet Williams If Robinson is elected, the prophet loses this money, for Robinson advocates de- pository for it and the collection of interest on it, the interest to go to the benefit of the levee not to Proph- ct Williams.
 But Prophet Williams is wholly dis interested in the race for governor ex- cept as as d LOVER OF GOOD GOV ERNMENT" @ If he were can did, he would say to you that he is working for the governor to hold his job and make money of of the peoples money.

In the Port Nolloth district, South Africa. Is the Richtersyeld. "an i'm. mense area occupied by handful of thriftless Hottentots some sixty-fye families. or 400 members all told" So thriftless are they. one reads, that s often as not they eat up the seed wheat supplied to them by the gov ernment in seasons of scarcity instead of sowing IL The natural springs a their doors are not utilized. but neg leeted. and so more industrious and energetic race of men Is shut out and debarred from doing justice to the land But they are socialistic com. munity. When one kills a sheep or goat all the others flock around to help Aim eat it, and this applies to all foodstuffs, hence the natives idleness.
