ton to the rule that concealed com

Combinations
From the above you will notice
that combinations must always be of
the same suit, Of the same color (if
Dragons), or Of the same direction
(if Wings). Thus there is no scor->

South. when he would score 2 for a
pair Of his Own Windy.
Also notice that q single tile never
scores. (Single Seasons score when
the game is played with the Seasons,
as will be explained in a later ar.
tlcle. But this 10 variation and in
the game generally played the rule is
true that single tiles never score.)
In the article on Fours.o
explained the danger of holding

them when Nah Jongg is completed

ing purposes, a foursome completed
by drawing from the wall will score

ing.
To become a good Nah Jongg play
or and rapid one at the same time,
it is essential that you familiarize
yourself with the value Of scoring
combinations. Thus, and thus only,
can you discard intelligently, shift,
your style Of play cleverly, when ne,t
cessity demands, and reduce your
losses to minimum when your hand
is on the defensive.

Fascination, intriguing desire for
skillful manipulation, and constant
ly recurring expectancy are added to
the game by the vast range Of its
score. The lowest possible hand
will score zero. the highest hand will
total more than 100000, while a
winner may score no more than %.
The average winning hand will
score between 30 and 40 points; the
average losing hand will score much
less. But always is the chance that
either FINER or loser may build q
hand into the hundreds. Nor is it
uncommon ut skillful player who
does not Nah Jongg may win more
than the player who Nah ,Jonggs on

There is cry for a candidate for
president who can raise the bonus
money by reducing taxes.
|, Melons plan TO reduce taxes re-
duces the Treasury income. All
such pl9ps have this great fault.
Colleges stand against the SOL
der bonus will cost him votes, but
standing lis better than lying.
The war vets deserve a bonus.
The taxpayers deserve a reduction.
And the sun deserves rest.
The soldiers can't get their bonus
because the profitecrs have it.
Taxpayers can't get a reduction
because the tax-exempts have it.
Make it legal for all war vets to
shoot craps with loaded dice and
they will collect their bonus.
Every man knows how to reduce
his own taxes. This is so simple
Put them on the other fellow.
Let every war vet throw rocks
at war profteer@ two hours. It
would be better than q bonus.
Teach the cops to lay brickt.
They could make millions in their
spare months. Collect it for taxes.
Rent the congressman out to
garages for blowing up tires by
mouth. The income would cut tax
es.
If allowed to bootleg, our navy
could be self-supporting and pay off
the national debt in a week.
Give an ex-private q squad Of cx-
sergeants to drill and he would for
get oil about his bonus.
Put all ex-second looeys in uni
form and invite war vets to cuss
them. Call it . soldier bonus.
Make all except war vets wear
knitted socks in shoes mile too
big, Is bonus substitute.
Order the street. cleaners to turn
in all the dimes they find. This
would cut taxes q little.
Let ever war vet chase a flag
waving politician three blocks. It
is a swell bonus substitute. =.
Put mail boxes in cellars and
make postmen pay to deliver mail.
It would reduce taxes some.
Find the army railc6ht Makers
Make the wear the colts they
made. This would tickle any war
vet.
Put coolies on all ex.company
clerks and tie their hands. Then
other war vets will \ forget the
bonus.
Maybe the fremen could play
poker and give their winnings to
the tax collector to cut taxes.
Give q war vet bugle Ito batter
to pieces and he will enjoy it moro
than q soldier bonus.
Stand one major in the rain. Let
war vets sec him eating bread. Bet

the back in the dark at the very time
he needed true friends and votes.
In view Of all Of the foregoing there
is only one way to stop all of the de-
bauchery of the colored voters living in
the second ward and that way is to
disfranchise and send to the pen at
Joliet, Illinois for ten years all Of the
white and colored politicians both
Democrats and Republicans who
spend large sums of money on cleo
ton days and primary days in bribing
and buying up the colored voters and
the colored people who sell their votes
should also be disfranchised and sent
to the pen along with their white and
colored political masters.
Let US take the case Of Col. De
Priest. 1t has been stated by some OF
his friends that he received fifteen to
twenty-five thousand dollars at the
late spring election from the head
Democrats and from some Of the
Thompson Republicans and that he
had the right to spend it all for moon
shine whisky or any other way he saw
fit just so that he induced OF
bulldozed or cussed the colored people
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-07-07

like all Of the other races in this city
aside from the Chinaman.
In 1920, the late James A. Scott
was candidate for the nomination for
Judge Of the Municipal Court OF Chi
cago. on the Thompson ticket, and not
having a large amount OF money to
spend among the voters in his ward he
was left standing securely chained at
the post by them AT the same time
Hon. Len Small Hon Robt E. Grove
and many of the other white Repub-
lican associates. Of Mr.. Scott had no
trouble in carrying the second ward
By large majorities but Mr.. Scott was
turned down cold by his own people
for he was the only candidate on the
Thompson ticket who was defeated in
his race for the nomination for Judge
of the Municipal Court Of Chicago.
It might be truly said that Mr..
Scott died of broken heart and he
went to his grave firmly convinced
that he had been sold out and traded
off BY the slick and rascally colored
Republican leaders of the second
ward who stealthily stabbed him in
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-07-07

in the second and third wards into
voting the Democratic ticket and if we
had the proper kind OF laws governing
elections, Col DePriest would be IN
a whole peck Of trouble right now
for attempting to induce the colored
people in the second and third wards
to vote to suit him and not to vote to
suit themselves.
So far no one has heard Of Col. De
Priest dividing up any Of the fifteen
or twenty-five thousand dollars for
delivering the colored voters to the
head Democrats with anyone, so the
money must be still laying around
somewhere where he can easily grab
it up in his Demo- Republican hands.
Just as long as the colored people
in this city permit themselves to fol-
low in the footsteps Of tricky and
slippery political leaders they can rea-
sonably expect to be sold out at every
election Or primary and enable their
false, selfish and cold-blooded leaders
to make fifteen to twenty-five thou
sand dollars in buying and selling
them like so many dumb hogs and
cattle.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-07-07

between the coRtending factions bar
rels Of cheap tanglefoot whisky and
barrels Of money were poured into the
fighting and while the excitement was
running at the highest point and the
white and colored leaders felt that
they must win out at any cost and in
many instances colored men received
as high as FIVE and ten dollars for
their votes.
That was the ruination of the col
ored voters in the second ward for at
every primary contest or election hun
dreds of colored voters in that ward
under no conditions will vote for any
body or anything unless they first re-
ceive some money for their votes.
It IS no trouble at any election or
primary contest to observe hundreds
and hundreds Of colored men standing
around the polls in the second ward
and there is nothing doing with them
unless they receive some money for
their votes for men or measures cut no
ice with them and the pay master
must come down the line with two or
three dollars for each voter before
they will become interested in the
primaries or in the election.
For example in 1906 the leaders Of
tile Republican Party nominated Hon
F. L. Barnett. for one Of the Judges
Of the Municipal Court Of Chicago
and on the day Of the election he
rushed around among the colored
people III the second ward and urged
them not only to vote for him but
also for the other Republican candi-
dates on the Republican ticket but as
he had no money to spend among the
voters lie lost out in his own ward,
but ne was elected BY FIVE hundred
majority, that being such small ma
jority he was easily counted out,
whereas if the colored voters in that
ward would have rolled up three to
eve thousand majority for him there
would not have been the least doubt
about his election and from that day
to this we would always have one
