Frederic R. DeYoung, representa-
tive, Republican. Ending his second
term. As head Of the Judiciary Com
mittee he made particularly efficient
record in the handling of bills in COM
mittee. He is the most able debater
in the House, and, although his legis-
lative experience has been short, he i
known as one Of the three or four
legislative experts Of the body. His
general legislative record has been a
most excellent one. Report, July 20,
1913, Legislative Voters League.
His record in the Legislature and
in the Constitutional Convention was
noteworthy. He possesses many ex-
cellent qualities which commend him
for judicial Office. We consider him
well qualified. Report, October IS,
1923, on qualifications of candidates,
by Committee, Chicago Bar Associa-
ton.
His candidacy for the-office Of judge
Of the Superior Court is endorsed,
among others, by the Chicago Bar AS
ISOLATION, the Lawyers Association of
Illinois and the Better Government
Association of Chicago and Cook
county.
Some Of the outstanding facts in
relation to his friendship for the
colored people and right and justice
are these: As member of the Legis-
lature of this state he was very active
in his support of Hon. Robert r.
Jackson's bill to suppress the birth
Of Nation" and voted against it and
as chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee of the lower House at that time
and he greatly assisted to kill off all
the VICIOUS legislation aimed at the
colored race.
AS one of the foremost members
Of the Constitutional Convention he
was the author Of the following provi-
sion in Bill of Rights in the new con-
stitution that flaws shall be apple
able alike to all citizens, without re-
gard to race or color"
At all times he has had the manly
courage to stand shoulder to shoulder
with Hon. Edward H. Morris in every
movement he made to protect the civil
and the political rights of the colored
people in the grand old state of ILL
nois.
Therefore, the colored people in all
parts Of Cook county can on Tues
day, November 6, safely vote for him
for judge of the Superior Court of
Cook county.

Hon. Frederic r. De Young, Repub-
lican candidate for Judge of the SUI
perior Court of Cook county, was
born in Chicago on September II,
1875. He has resided in Chicago and
Cook county all his life; was educated
in the common schools, Valparaiso
University, University of Chicago, and
the Law School Of Northwestern Uni
versity; he was admitted to the bar
in June, 1897, and has practiced law
in Chicago ever since, with the excep-
ton of short period when he was
judge of the Circuit Court of Cook
county by appointment Of Governor
Lowden as the successor to Judge
McGoorty, who had resigned.
He was a representative in the
forty-ninth and fiftieth General AS
semblies Of Illinois; was chairman Of
the Republican Steering Committee Of
the House Of Representatives Of Illi-
nois in 1915, and Of the Judiciary
Committee of the same body in 1917;
was a member of the recent Consti-
tutional Convention Of Illinois, and
was chairman Of its Committee on
Judicial Department; on December Il,
1922, he was elected justice of the Su-
preme Court of Illinois from the
Seventh Supreme Judicial District, but
owing to the defeat Of the new con-
stitution submitted at the same time,
the two additional memberships Of
that court, provided by that instru-
ment, to one of which he was elected,
were not created.
He is member Of the Chicago, Illi-
nois, State and American Bar Associa-
tons and of the bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Of his public service it has been
said:
His services in the House were OF
the highest possible character. He
displayed great ability and industry in
the discharge of his duties, and was
actuated alone by a desire to serve the
public good" Governor Lowden.

The Cardinal Gibbons Institute re-
ceived the full endorsement of the
Knights Of Columbus at its annual
convention held in Montreal recently,
and also a definite promise Of fnan-
cial aid, which win bring to it early
in 1924 between $3s,OO0 and $4,000.
The money is to be raised by a ma
tional assessment of FIVE cents per
capita to be added to the next annual
assessment.
The plan for this national school for
colored youth was presented to the
Knights of Columbus Supreme Board
of Directors by Mr.. William S. Au-
men Of Baltimore, past state deputy
Of Maryland, and one Of the vice
presidents and member Of the execu-
tive committee Of the board of trus-
tees of the Cardinal Gibbons Institeu
The supreme board, after due deliber-
alton, recommended the above assess
ment; the recommendation was APP
proved by the committee on good Of
the order, and adopted by the con-
vention.
The following is quoted from the
report of the committee on good of
the order:
The supreme board Of directors
referred to the committee a PROPOSE
ton sponsored by Brother William s.
Aumen, past state deputy of Mary
land, and Admiral William S. Benson,
having to do with the erection and
maintenance of a memorial to His
Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, to
be known as the Cardinal Gibbons In
stitute and to be devoted to the higher
education of Negroes. 1t was pointed
out to the committee that this insti-
tute was one of the great works con-
ceived by the late cardinal and one
which was very dear to him, but
which unfortunately he was unable to
complete. AS a memorial to his late
eminence, his grace, Archbishop Cur
ley has sanctioned the appeal for aid
in continuing this work, which per-
haps will be the one and only memo
rial erected to the memory Of our late
beloved cardinal, and as a result, the
supreme board have been appealed to
for financial aid in this enterprise.
Therefore, in the belief that the
Knights of Columbus can i'll afford to

THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, THROUGHOUT THE
UNITED STATES WILL ASSIST TO RAISE FOR
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO ESTABLISH THE
JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS INSTITUTE, FOR
COLORED CATHOLIC ORPHANS, NEAR BALTI-

Iremain aloof from this movement to
erect a fitting memorial to his emf
hence, Cardinal Gibbons, or from any
project which will unfit the Catholic
Negro who has 50 often been neg
iected by the more fortunate members
Of the church, this committee concurs
in the recommendation contained in
the resolution of the board of direc-
tors that FIVE cents per capita be added
to the next annual assessment to
assist the Cardinal Gibbons Institute
and which resolution was referred to
this committee with the request that
it be reported on to the supreme
council"
From the above paragraph it will
Be seen that in the splendid action
taken by the Knights Of Columbus for
the Cardinal Gibbons Institute two
motives predominated: The desire to
assist in the movement for the adj
vancement of the colored Catholics of
the country; and the desire to assist
to perpetuate the name Of the great
Cardinal for whom the institute will
stand as a memorial Cardinal Glib
bons purchased the two hundred acre
farm as a site for the school The
board of trustees, with Archbishop
Curley as its president, voted to name
the new school the Cardinal Gibbons
Institute and dedicate it as memorial
to the late cardinal for his work for
the colored race. It is the first instit-
tuition to bear his name. Probably no
other school as memorial would be
SO pleasing to him, who always, as
a true priest Of God, worked for the
welfare Of the American Negro. The
interest which he was awakening
among the Catholics of the country in
behalf of their colored brethren is just
beginning to manifest itself, and in
the next few years greater activity
than ever before will be shown BY the
white Catholics for. the colored men.
Other national Catholic organiza-
tons are seriously considering assist
ing the Institute by donations or
assessments. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that several will follow the
plan Of the knights Of Columbus in
a hve-cent national assessment. IF
these expectations are realized, actual
buildings can be erected during 1924
and the school opened in the fall.

UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS FOR
COLORED WOMEN
(Lincoln service.)


There are colored policewomen in
the United States.
Twenty-four colored women in the
country are mailcarriers and 10 are
"newsboys."
You will be surprised to know that
Of the 10 colored postmasters under
Postmaster General New that 40 Of
these are colored women.
Preferring personal service as a
means of livelihood, 1860 colored
women have found employment as
BARRIERS, hairdressers and manicurists.
While only II white females are
engaged in shoe-shining as an avoca-
ton, D colored women are thus en-
ployed throughout the United States.
If milady should not like the true
feminine finish that her shoemaker
applied to her last boots, she may
pick among % colored women, en-
gagged in the work in the country, to
make her next pair.
Of the 35,442 colored persons who
follow the profession Of teaching pub
lie schools in the United States, %. 18o
are women, and "a of these women
have reached the age of 65 years and
over.
1t is surprising to note the scarcity
Of colored stenographers in the United
States. There are only 2,310 of these,
of which 1870 are women. OF the
bookkeepers there are 2,284 colored,
with 1,611 females.
Perhaps that last driver Of the taxi
you used was too reckless and care
less. Call a woman taxi driver. You
know there are ll3 females among the
1888 colored people doing this kind
of work in the country.
Or if you are entertaining special
preferences for women, you can have
coIored females build your new house,
with the exception of the plumbing
and gas6tting. There are in the
United States "a colored women who
are designers; 8 brick and stone
masons; 26 carpenters; 3 plasterers;
70 painters, glaciers and varnishers

STEPS IN CHRISTIAN GROWTH

"But grow in grace and in the
knowledge Of the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ" 2 Peter 3:ls. The best
possible evidence Of life is growth.
Grow or die is natures law. 1t is also
the law of the spirit Just as comply
ing with the laws of natural growth
will assure physical development, SO
will compliance with the laws OF
spiritual growth guarantee spiritual
development. Time is an element in
both physical and spiritual growth. 1t
takes time to grow from infancy to
maturity. Time is also required to
grow from babes in Christ" to the
"fullness Of the stature OF manhood"
in Him. We invite your consideration
of the following steps in Christian
growth:
|. Recognition Of the value Of little
things.
2. Recognition Of the necessity Of
working alone with God.
3. Recognition of the necessity OF
working with others for God.
4. Recognition of the fact that all
things belong to God.
|. Recognition Of the value Of little
things. Little things are important
because, accumulated or ampli6ed
they make big things. A snowflake is
very small and insignificant, vet
enough of them accumulated consti-
tute the avalanche which sweeps all
things before it. "A little thing-boil-
ing water in a tea-kettle-suggeste
the steam engine. The little question
why? with reference to a falling apple
is responsible for Newton's discovery
Of the law Of gravitation. A little sug-
gestion by Harriet Beecher-Stowe's
sister was the thought which made
possible Uncle Toms Cabin" the
greatest single factor in the abolition
Of slavery in the United States. A lit
tie thing, the assassination of one Of
the worst men in all Europe, plunged
the world into the greatest war known
to history.
Yes, little things are ali important
We cannot grow in grace and in the
knowledge of the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ" without a just apprecia-
ton Of their importance. The little
word Of kindness, the little deed II
heIpfuIness. the little act Of devotion,
the little talk with Jesus" are mighty
factors in Christian growth. Ii the
white and black people in this country
would properly value the little acts al
interracial cooperation for community
welfare. the Stars and Stripes would
carry message to the eleven hundred
million coIored peoples in this world
which would inspire hope and courage
hitherto unknown.

Former service men Of both parties
are joining hands to aid in the election
Of Hon. Harry P. Beam, democratic
nominee for judge of the Superior
Court Mr. Beam is the only ex-serv-
ice man entered as a candidate for
Judge at the Nov. election.
In seeking election as judge Mr.
Beam is pushing ahead toward the
realization Of ambitions formed dec
ade ago, when as clerk for the late
Judge Thomas G. Windes he had
charge Of the routine work Of the
court. Working in the court by day
and listening to the arguments Of
many Of the city's foremost attorneys.
he spent his nights studying law.
He served for three years as court
clerk, first in Judge Winde's court
room and later in that Of the late
Judge Frederick "A. Smith. He had
opportunities during these years to
learn the details Of court procedure
and the nature of the duties of jurists
in the Circuit and Superior Courts.
His days in court were as valuable
as his evenings in law class in gain
ing the groundwork Of legal knowl-
edge needed for the general practice
of law.
Early in 1916 he received his degree
from the law school of Loyola Uni
versity. He was admitted to the bar
in June, 1916, and resigned from his
position as court clerk to begin the
practice Of law. Except for a period
in 1918 spent in the World War, he
has been engaged in the practice OF
law ever since
For six years of that time he has
been a member Of the legal staff Of
Armour & Co. His work as an attor-
ney for this concern has given him a
wide variety of legal experience in
Illinois courts and in those of other
states. He was appointed assistant
corporation counsel of the city of Chi
cago last April and has served in that
position ever since. He is past COM
mander Of the Armour post Of the
American Legion and has been active
in pushing relief work for disabled
veterans.

working alone with God. Though one
with God is majority, the average
man does not so regard it. He feels
lonesome unless he is in a crowd. He
will suppress personal conviction
rather than be unpopular. This is
why good-thinl1iRR, fair-minded peo-
pie suffer without protest SO many
things against which their conscience
rebels. The white press often main
tains an attitude of opposition or, at
best, indifference to the Negroes well
fare, because they think such an atti-
tude satisfies the public. The Negro
press responds in kind and, thus, the
racial breach keeps open. Most white
ministers are conspicuously silent on
matters affecting race relations. Study
ing the scriptures as they do, and think
ing on high ethical plane about things
generally, it must cost them many
pangs Of conscience not to lead the
light against oppression and race
hate. Negro ministers, instead of us
ing their influence and eloquence to
make peace between the races, pass
the whole subject BY and stress the
good times that await us when we
leave this world The average citizen
of both races excuses himself from
any active responsibility in contribut-
ing to better race relations. Thus the
press, the ministry, the average cit
izen, miss the help to Christian growth
which working alone with God affords.
30 "A recognition Of the necessity
OF working with others for God. Big
and helpful things are started by in
dividuals but they are carried through
to success by a combination Of inter
est and efforts. Business enterprises
combine and make bigger business.
Churches and clubs federate and out
over larger and more effectual pro-
grams. The best team work deter
mines the winner in the ball game. So
does working with others for God
bring greatest results in kingdom
building. How the church suffers
when members fail to work together
The community that is dead or non
progressive is the victim of too much
individuality. Places where race fric-
ton j. at its worst are those where
the two races fail to cooperate for
mutual welfare. The greatest work
the white man and the black man IN
America can do together for God is to
unite on a program of brotherhood

All things belong to God. Weak and

he says, my money. my property. nv
talents, my time and my life. Acting
upon that presumption, he uses his
money his property, his talents. his
time and his life just as though God
had no claim on them. Therefore
Christianity lags, man suffers and
Jesus, our Savior, continues "a man Of
sorrows and acquainted with grief."
The Lords weeping over Jerusalem
was indicative Of more than present
sorrow. II was prophetic Of His CON
tinued grief over 4 rebeIIious world.

Britain of 100000 more women than
there are men will result in the estab-
lishment of a single moral standard
for men and women and will wipe out

lish author, said as he was sailing for
home on the Adriatic.
Woman suffrage is gaining in Eng
land, he said, and is bringing greater
personal freedom for women. The
large majority held by the feminine
population, he added, will place wom-
ans sexual life on an equal basis with
that of man.
Women" he explained, will be
forgiven where man is forgiven"

SPALLA Is LOOMING
AS BIG GATE-GETTER

NEW YORK. September 22-That
loud squawk of Ermino SpaIla's which
has just waited in from Italy prob
ably means the building up of another
million dollar foreign foe for Demp-
sey.
It's pretty hard to draw a gate with
an American opponent for Dempsey
1t is cinch that a Dempsey Wills
fight would not have the social sane
ton of the Dempsey Carpenter and
great heavyweight idea is an interna-
tional battle with the foreign con-
tender ballyhooed into world
beater-until he tackles the cham
pion.
Now, the writer saw a lot of Spalla
when he was in this country a year
ago. and, in the language of One Eyed
Connolly, he could not lick anybody.
Half the time he didn't know which
was his left and which was his right.
Then he goes back to Italy and
beats some setup who held title.
and the howl goes up for a Dempsey
battle. Has Tex Rickard heard it?
Does a robin hear a cherry drop?
Wait and see. brothers. Spalla will
be along in good time. after Demp-
sey and Firpo have settled their
second argument, and he will begin
to stow away men that he would
never have dared face in the ring last
year.
Then the time will come when
million and a half dollar house will
flcck heatedly to some great arena
and watch the pest of Palermo get
his. It's a great game, and so. long
as there are nations in Europe who
can supply men big enough to make
noise when they fall down our
champions will have no cause to
complain of anything save the ac-
tivity of the income tax collectors
Spalla, by the way. is expected in
this country in time for the late in
door boxing season.
