Hampton, Vac. Kamba Simango,
a native Of Portuguese East Africa and
a graduate of Hampton Institute, class
Of 1910, who has just completed spe-
cial course at Teachers College, Col
umbia University, spoke recently in
Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on
African forms Of government, police
systems, education, and physical train
ing
africans" he said, in spite of the
lack Of highly organized police sys-
TENS, succeed in apprehending wrong
doers. They follow the customs and
laws which are useful to their tribes,
but they do not carry their rules be-
yond their tribes to so-called aliens. "
The Lot of African Women
His wife, who is native of Free
town, Sierra Leone, and who is
graduate Of the Royal College Of Arts
at South Kensington, England de-
scribed the affection Of African moth
ers for their children, especially for
those children that are offered in human
sacrifice for the sake of bringing peace
to whole tribes, and likened this affec-
ton to that expressed by other moth
ers who send their sons to fight in
modern warfare She referred to the
hardship which is brought on African
women through the government con-
scription of able-bodied men for forced
labor. There are today" she said,
"226 different languages and over 900
dialects spoken in Africa"
At another Hampton Institute meet
ing Kamba Simango gave, in appro-
pirate African costume, vivid panto-
mimic presentations OF an elephant
hunt, witch doctors incantations, and
leopard-killing.
His wife described several phases
Of African life, gave an African dance
with piano music Originally written
by Coleridge- Taylor and later ar
ranged by Helen Hagen) which was
played BY R. Nathaniel Dett, and dis
played specimens Of native African
work in brass, textiles, and basketry,
which had been made by men and
women who had not come in contact
with outside civilizing influences. She
said:

Mr.. LOUIS B. ANDERSON
By DR.. NJ. A. Majors.

The people who have ideals can
always be trusted. Sometimes we
fear that there is a lack of sober, seri-
Gus thought in the hearts and minds
of our people, and we frequently base
that fear on the action and conduct
of our people in former years, but it
is Encouraging to note the vast
changes arising out of better condi-
tions which has favored the race.
Often anxiety overreaches our human
limitations and we fret and worry be-
cause all people do not see and under
stand as we do. Occasionally we are
at the awful risk Of colossal tasks
and ended judgment gives life to
hope, while all that we have achieved
in the past trembles in the balance.
Of a certainty the Negro is very
much like other races. We have our
likes and dislikes, but it is no time
for us or anybody to use spite or vent
hatred against a man who has been
honored by the second city on this
hemisphere.
It is not even question Of per-
sonal favors or disfavors when it is
brought close up for sober consid-
Grafton. We have under considera-
ton man who has achieved distinc-
ton, won honors, a man who has
proven his capabilities to serve a great
city like Chicago, acting even on its
finance committee, which has the
powers OF apportionment and appro-
priation of nearly two hundred mil
lions Of dollars every year. Hundreds
of aldermen have aspired to the high
honor of sitting on the commission.
It is a great honor to the Negro race
that we have on that committee a
man of our own election and our own
blood.
Mr.. Anderson has been in Chicago
close on to thirty years and he has
grown up to greatness and to the
accomplishment Of great things. He
has served the people in the law de-
partment of the city government for
thirty years and he knows what per-
haps only lawyer could know and

On Thursday evening Hon. William
f. Dever, candidate Of the United De-
mocracy for Mayor of Chicago, who
has always been considered as one Of
the good friends Of the Colored race,
was the honored guest of the members
OF the Appomattox Club, 1852 Grand
boulevard. Judge Dever was warmly
received when he rose to speak and he
strongly intimated that he was not
afraid to let it be known that he had
many warm friends among the colored
people residing in all parts Of this
city, and from this time on to the
day of the election, Tuesday, April 8,
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-03-10

that he will continue to move around
among the colored people in all parts
Of the city; that he wants all the votes
that he possibly can get in an honor
able way from the colored people;
that in case he is elected Mayor of
this great city, he will treat them fair
at all times and if they will stand by
him when he needs and wants their
votes, that they will receive some inn
portant representation from his hands
after he gets settled down in the may
or's chair in the City Hall.
When the speaking drew to an end,
a reception was held in honor of Judge
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-03-10

understand. His rich experience and
knowledge Of men and affairs entities
him TO our loving consideration.
Unfortunately, a large majority Of
us are not advanced in the spirit Of
race loyalty, the deep appreciation Of
mans qualifications to serve the
whole people. Incapable Of overlook
ing personal animosity or spite when
it requires man to meet the exigen-
cies of urgent necessity.
Louis B. Anderson has become a
name in our homes that is worth to
repeat to our children. All Of Us have
an interest in that name because the
man who bears it has made himself
respected and beloved. He may not
have done some little things for the
individual as a personal favor. He
may not have satisfied some greedy
fellow looking for work he was in
capable of performing. He may not
have gotten the thing put over just
as some thought it might be, but he
has given Chicago diligent and noble
service.
We must have representation. We
always need to be represented by men
with earnest spirit, determination and
character. But we must be ably rep
resented by men with great ability,
always so capable that they bring
credit to the race besides bestowing
added luster to themselves and US.
When we find that we have put a man
in Office that bears up as nob1y as
Alderman Anderson, we owe it to the
race and to the body polite to keep
him there. IF we fail and by careless
ness and difident spirit let into Office
some incompetent who will serve only
himself, it will come back upon our
heads as boomerang, cursing instead
Of blessing US. We have no one today
better able to serve as alderman and
we might add there is not man today
in the council more capable and who
is better acquainted with the civic life
Of the city Of Chicago.
The writer is oneof those peculiar
creatures that takes but little stock in
individuals. We feel that our esteem
for the individual should measure out
the boundary of ones usefulness. If
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-03-10

one is not able or capable of giving
some kind of useful service he is not
worthy of serious consideration. Chi
cago has within its confines many
prominent men Of our race. Men who
from that lofty, intelligent point of
view would reflect credit on any race.
Mr.. Anderson is among the number
who has been given an opportunity
and made good. He has so conducted
himself that he is looked upon with
feeling akin to reverence by the
white friends and friends Of his race
who are close enough to him to feel
the pulse Of his good nature and to
keep uppermost in their minds the
sincerity of his big heart that throbs
for members Of his race, low as we'll
as high.
1t is always kind word, friendly
salutation and ready and willing
spirit to 60 the length for you that
makes people love our alderman. 1t
is that feeling Of the deepest pride in
him that also makes them call him
Louie"
Readers, we have tried to anaIyze
the reasons for sober action rather
than pronouncing an eulogy. But
look, if you please, at this drawing.
A man of medium height, strong Of
physique, muscular, full Of vigor,
energy and that genuine fellowship
that all like, pleasing disposition,
frank and honest Of expression, with
engaging features that acquaint the
stranger that he stands before a real
man, we'll balanced, whose poise in
the far reaches Of character and
ability and character is always reas
suring. Study that high forehead,
large sparkling eyes. honest coun-
tenance, high cheek bones, large ears,
well poised chin, all within COM
plexion of the red man yet richly
tinged with aristoricratic blood Of the
Virgin East Virginia. Upon his
bronzed brow fate has tatooed her
favorite mark Of distinction and al
though the present age is loud in its
praise Of his name, has been given
to future time in whose satiate tooth
will carve it for remote generations
of men to read and to point to de-
scendants in whose veins viii be run
ming red the blood of their ancestor.

AFRICA HAS GIFTS TO MAKE
Those Who Go to Africa Must Have Bic
and Generous Hearts"

important contributions which they
can make to the rest Of the world,
especially in the fields of art and
music.
Those who go to Africa must have
big, generous hearts. The natives are
keen at detecting all insincerity or
failure to make works and deeds con-
sistent The African native judges in
dividuals. He does not put many per
sons in a single group because of the
failure or even meanness Of a single
individual Africans are carefully
watching American Negroes to see
what they will do to help Africa"
These two well-educated Africans
will leave the United States in April to
take up their work of missionary
teaching in the Mt Silinda School, at
Melsetter in Southern Rhodesia, where
they will help the native people realize
some of their worthwhile gifts.
Africans Make Progress
That the missionaries who have gone
to Africa have given the natives the
best that they possessed Of religion
and civilization and that these mis-
sionaries continue their work Of bring
ing out the best traits of the natives
were opinions expressed by Kamba
Simango before a large audience of
white and colored people, assembled at
Hampton Institute. He said:
1--WE find that the African is also
striving and reaching out to get those
things which will develop his happi-
ness and welfare.
I'm 1920, understand, the Govern
ment of Southern Rhodesia started
two industrial schools. They have
Stried to interest missionaries to de-
veIop industrial education to such an
extent that the natives will use the ma
terial they have for commercial pur-
poses. This is the time that we need
the educated Negro to point out the
way. The Government Of Rhodesia
is extending liberty in education.
Africa is looking for intelligent Ne
groes to do educational work in Africa.
What Hampton Institute stands for
in the United States we mean to make
Mt. Saiinda School stand for in
Africa"
