ing the response that 1T was the desire
of the Court that he should speak
freely, touching his insistence on
legislation affecting the yellow races.
Well. our policy is to announce
to you our doctrine, that this United
States IS 4 white mans country"
IT Is interesting to note what Broth

say, As It was ! Republican who asked
that the whole country Be declared
only for white men.-when Senator
Lewis. the Democrat. in the rush Of

Our highly esteemed Brother. Col.
Robert S. Abbott, the grand head
boss of the greatest weekly. news
paper in the world and his able
staff, had ten thousand fits in 1920,
because former United States Senator
from Illinois the Hon. James Hanil-
ton Lewis, happened to state in some
speech which he delivered somewhere
when be was candidate for COVER
nor Of this state, in abiding to the
proportion Of employees in the City
Hall Of the whites and the coiored,
referred to the city as "A white mans
government.
Now we see from the public press
that Republican Attorney General,
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-05-19

called any public meeting and selected
or united upon Col. Simmons to wend
his way to Washington, d. G.. and
soice their sentiments to President
Harding.
In the first place, Col. Simmons
does not claim that Chicago is his
home and in the second place we have
never found any one who would posi-
lively state that Col. Simmons owns
one dollars worth Of property in this
city which he pays taxes on.
So it would appear that there is no
logical reason on earth why Col Sim
mons should desire to pose as the
leading coIored man residing in Chi
cago; unless it IS that he is laying his
plans to rake in whole barrel Of easy
money from Senator Mccormick and
President Harding.
1t viii be recalled that only few
years ago that Col. Abbott hearaIded
it to ali the world that Col Simmons
was a grand rascal; that he had beat
him out of whole bunch Of money
which was due him as subscriptions to
his greatest weekly newspaper in the
world and that Col. Simmons was
dead and was buried in a very deep
grave at Memphis, Tenn. These are
some Of the further reasons why Col
Simmons cannot be regarded as a
true leader Of the coIored people resid-
ing in Chicago.

Hampton, Na.-Thc State agents
for colored schools in IA Southern
States, who recently met for three
day conference at Hampton Institute,
were introduced by Principal ]. E.
Gregg as "the group OF men who are
doing the most important work that
is being done in the South for the i'm
provement of colored public schools" T"
Leo M. Favrot, Baton Rouge, La,
referred to Hampton's service to the
South through its graduates. He
stated that in Louisiana the colored
school population had increased 5 per
cent in years, while the number Of
colored teachers had doubled and the
salaries paid to colored teachers had
quadrupled. In 1913 two-thirds Of the
white school children were enrolled,
while only one-third of the colored
children were enrolled. In 1922 three
fourths of the white school children
and two-thirds of the colored chill
dren were enrolled. There is a
growing sentiment" he said, that we
must do more for our colored chill
dren.
N. c. Newbold, Raleigh, N. g.,
stated that North Carolina is now
spending between $3,5O0,OO0 and $4,-
100000 annually on its colored schools.

wald schools at cost of over 81 ,0OO,-

must be completed by June /. These
schools will cost $4,000. Three

fails to give these matters his serious
consideration we will warn him right
here and now to beware Of the ides
Of November in 1924.
Only few weeks ago, Col. Sim
mons, in company with the Hon. Medill
Mccormick, called on President Hard
ing at the White House and Col. SIM
mons, like brazen-faced brat, had
the nerve to assure President Harding
that he was the leading and the most
prominent colored man in this city
and throughout the state Of Illinois,
and as such the colored people in this
city were well pleased with the treat
ment which they have SO far received
from his hands; that it made no diff
ference to them if the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill was knocked out by the
Republican United States Senate; that
the coIored people of Chicago and IL
iinois would vote for him and march
on to victory with him in 1924 just
the same.
The brass and the down right gall
Of some people is appalling and Col.

a political campaign alluded to the
city as a white mans government

OR in the control of the ballot boxes
from certain wards of the South Side
Never did we expect to live to see
the day in this country that Re-
publican United States Attorney-Gen-
eral would become so bold as to stand
up before the august members Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
and lay down or PROFOUND such a
damnable doctrine and that it is the
solemn duty Of this government to
shape its legislation or policies 50 as
to place all Of ifs burdens upon any
color except white, on the ground
that is a white mans country"
Without the least delay the twelve
million colored people all over this
country should rise up in their might
and demand President Harding to at
once remove his Attorney-General
from Office for he is narrow minded,
full Of rare prejudice and he cannot
Be regarded a well wisher Or a. a
true friend Of the coIored race.
AT this time We wish to remind
President Harding not to 90 fast
asleep in that direction, to remember
the fate Of the Dyer Anti-Lynching

lican United States Senate, and if he

Taxes Must Support Schools
DR.. James Hardy billiard, Char
lottesville, Va, president of the Jeanes
and Slater Boards, declared that he
discovered many years ago that all
the millionaires in America could not
educate the people. There is only
one way to do the job" he said "and
that is by public taxation. That is
the way it must be and ought to be-"
Doctor billiard said that the Hampton
Institute students are chosen ones
who must through service give their
less fortunate brothers and sisters a
fair chance. These State agents"
he said, "are making it possible to
bring the school out to the little child
in the country, and, please God, we
are going to keep at this work until
every child shall have good school
to go to, where he may get the light
of knowledge and goodwill and good
training to be a good citizen"

KILL THE VAGRANT CATS

One piece of c~ommendable legisla-
ton enacted at the recent session of
the Legislature, and approved by the
GOVERNOR, was Assemblyman Longs
bill, which had the endorsement of
the Audubon Society of New Jersey
and bird lovers generally, providing
for the killing of vagrant cats, which
annually kill thousands of game and
song birds. For several years a SINH
lar bill has been before the Legisla-
ture, and in 1922 was passed, only
to be vetoed by Governor Edwards.
The new law, which is already in
operation, provides that "any person
holding a valid hunting and fishing
license may, and it shall be the duty
Of any fish and game warden or peace
officer to humanely destroy any cat
found hunting or killing any bird or
animal protected by law, or with a
dead bird or animal of any species
protected by law in its possession; and
no action for damages shall be main
tanned for such killing" The language
of the act is clear and explicit.
If there is any humane way of kill
ing off the animals, excepting by
shooting them, there is many a lover
of robins, squirrels and wild rabbits
who will be glad to be enlightened. 1t
is not always convenient to use a gun,
and besides not every family is in
possession of a hunting and fishing
license. If an effort is made, perhaps
the members of the police department
will be instructed to do the cat-killing.

Rating Army Chaplain Lower
Than Veterinarian Is Scored

Chaplains in the Army are given
less consideration with respect to
advancement and rank than veteri-
narians assigned to care for the well
fare of horses and mules, the Fed
eral Council of Churches declared
today, in announcing that Congress
would be asked at its next session to
remove the discrimination" against
the clergymen.
Medical, dental and veterinary Off
GERS, the general committee on Army
and Navy chaplains of the council
pointed out, are required to serve
only three years before they can
reach the rank of captain, and twelve
years for the rank of major while a
chaplain must serve five and four
teen years. respectively. The chief OF
the Chaplains' Corps, the committee
added, cannot rise above the rank OF
colonel, whereas the head of the
Medical and Dental Corps may be-
come a major general.
Want More Chaplains.
In addition to seeking removal of
these determinations, 1t was an
nounced an effort will be made to
have the number of chaplains in the
Army increased to q ratio of cne to
every 500 officers and men,
The general committee on Army
and Navy chaplains is the clearing
house of most of the Protestant
churches in dealing with the Army
and Navy departments regarding
chaplains. The decision to ask Con-
gress to remove the discrimination
against chaplains and to increase the
number was taken at a meeting at
which practically all the constituent
churches were represented.
Definite steps were taken to pros
