Success in big way in a broader

aging director OF the Hotels Winder-
mere.
The Hotels Windermere of Chica-
go are landmarks in hotel history.
The Hotel Windermere West was
built to accommodate visitors to the

in the world to have telephone in
every room. This hotel has for
more than 80 years exemplified the
clean, we'll ordered house of COM
fort. The wonderful new Hotel
Windermere East is the progressive
development of the other hotel.
The Hotels Windermere property
Jackson Park, and fianked on the
east with Lake Michigan and on
the west bX the Hyde Park residen-
tial section and University of Chi
cago grounds. This newest addition
to the Chicago hotel system is a
noble structure. rejecting in it's pub
lie rooms, living rooms and cham
bers, the essence of good taste in
decoration and Punishment. 1t is
an example of the latest and highest
development in perfect accommoda-
lions.
In a lavishly illustrated article
concerning the Hotel Windermere
East. in the September number Of
the Hotel Monthly" there is Il
splendid picture of Mr.. Emerson and
the following reference to his con-
nection with this enterprise:

! Whitefield, n. H., in 1880, and began
his hotel career at the Twin Noun

ALABAMA JUDGE IS AGAINST
MOB LAW AND ITS
UPHOLDERS

Decatur, Ala.-Persons who take
upon themselves the task of inflicting
punishment on others may be actuated
by highest motives but it is easy for
them to debase themselves, according
to Judge James E. Horton, in a charge
to the Morgan county grand jury on
the activities of bands of men. Judge
Horton pointed out that activities Of
these bands were few if at all in this
section but warned the citizenship that
the jurisdiction of the court in met
ing out punishment should not be in
terfered with
The judge said in part: There has
recently been an unusual number Of
attacks upon private citizens by masked
bands and numerous persons upon one
pretext Of another have been taken out
and whipped and severely beaten.
But as spirit Of Iawlessness j. more
or less epidemic it is well we should be
careful TO Immediately suppress any
acts Of this kind.
There can be but one place for the
netting out Of punishment and that IL
through the courts. The courts are
instrumentalities instituted by the peo-
pie for the punishment Of offenders
against the law. No matter what the
crime, how guilty the party and how
united public opinion, there are no ex-
cuses for private persons taking the
execution Of punishment into their own
hands Suppose in one instance the
perpetrators are actuated by the high
est motives and are seeking what they
believe best for their communities. But
our better natures are easily debased.
Soon private malice and individual
hate will become the actuating
motive"

The annual conference of this the
Fourth African Methodist Episcopal
District, has come and gone or passed
on into history and it has left a long,
very bad taste in the mouths Of many
Of the followers Of the sainted Henry
Allen, the founder and the father Of
the A. NJ. E. Church.
One Of the many important things
which caused a heavy gloom to fall
over the brethren and the sisters that
after more than sixteen thousand dol
lars had been collected in during the
annual conference ten thousand dol
lars of that vast sum being Dollar
Money" and the rest in odds and ends
and after the big preachers and others
running the conference continued to
nibble and nibble at the big pile Of
money, there was only sixteen dollars
in sight or left to pay the current bills
and it is feared that some OF the bills
will 60 unpaid until the next annual
conference. That is the slip-shod way
that some Of the A. NJ Z. brethren
transact business for their Lord and
Master.
It seems that Bishop L. J. Coppin,
who attempts to preside over the
Fourth Episcopal District, is nothing
more than SO much soft clay in the
hands of its real Bishop, Bishop Arch
ibald James Carey, the greatest polit-
ical slight-of-hand trickster in the
United Statesi
For it seems that when the time
had arrived to elect delegates to the
general conference, which meets II
Louisville, Ky.y in May, 1924, Bishop
Carey, who always wants to be the
whole show or fireworks, presided
over the meeting instead Of Bishop
Coppin, although Bishop Carey does
not belong in this district but has
the brass nerve to attempt to run
Bishop Coppin's district and his own
district at one and the same time.
It is further contended that Bishop
Carey and his henchmen had the
names Of the nine delegates whom
they wanted to go to the general con-
ference printed in the form Of ballots
the night before it was time to vote
for them, and if any preacher attend
ing the conference attempted to vote
for any one for delegate who was not
on the regular slate they were forever
damned in the estimation Of Archibald
James Carey, the political Bishop Of
the great A. M. E. Church.
