work and care for my children now,
where before did not feel like doing
anything or going around. After my
first child was born about four years
ago l saw an advertisement in the
paper about the Vegetable Compound.
l knew it would help me, but I was
afraid to try it because people said it
would help you to have children and
l knew l was having children fast
enough. But l thought if it would
help me it would be better to have a
whole house full of children and have
good health. Ibecame stronger from

to dealing with the Colored people.
and the only way to handle a colored
man IS to keep him in front Of YOU

hesitate but 80 to shooting colored
men, women and children, and like
a cowardly midnight assassin he was
glad to cover behind six or seven
Colored policemen while he was en-
gagged in branding all Colored men as
apes, balloons and ravishers Of White
women"
The morning after his last lecture
in this city its whole press turned
against him and on the same morning
the Wisconsin Chautauqua Associa-
ton Cancelled forty-eight thousand
dollar contract with him for His lee
ture season OF 1907, and our mem
orable fight on him, almost single
handed and alone, finally drove him
from th@ lecture platform.
In passing, it may not be out of
place to state right here that The
Broad AK, dated Saturday, November
"a, 1906, three days before Senator
Tillman appeared at Orchestra Hall
to deliver his shotgun policy lecture,
that three pages out Of four in The
Broad AK, were devoted to its mem
orable onslaught on Senator Tillman,
and on Saturday afternoon, Novem-
Der "a, we presented a copy Of it to
the late Horatio Seymour, who was
at that time managing editor of the
Old Chicago Chronicle, who at the
time OF his death in 1920 was the
editor-in-chief of the New York
World, the greatest newspaper in the
world and after Mr.. Seymour had
carefully read our red hot efusions
he exclaimed, Mr.. Taylor, there is
not another man in the United States
white or black who would Be able
to write the way that YOU have in re-
lation to Senator Tillman and remain
out Of prison, for they are the most
scathing, vitriolic, vituperative and
burning articles that | have ever read
in my long career in the newspaper
world"
Shortly after Senator TillmaA made
his last appearance in this city and
wound up his lecture career in this
country at that time, the following
open letter was sent out to the world
by the writer.

English language to express our ever
lasting gratitude to the editors and
representatives Of all the daily news

combined circulation running into
more than two million and a half,
which reached millions Of people
throughout all sections Of the world,
freely quoted from the issue Of The

and all the daily newspapers in this
city gave the editor Of this newspaper
full credit for first inaugurating and
leading the fight on Senator Tillman
and his shotgun policy for law abid-
ing colored men, women and children.
The Associated Press took up the
fight in our behalf and flashed it to
all the world that THE Broad AK
was the organ for more than 100000
Afro-Americans residing in Chicago,
that it was the first newspaper TO
wage an unrelenting warfare on Sen

upon the subject OF bankruptcy legis-
lation
The Senate has made the bank

doubt will pass bill before adjourn
ment.
VIII you kindly consider editorially
the subject Of bankruptcy legislation

Please observe from the printed
matter on this letter head that the
Torrey bill has been considered and
very generally endorsed throughout
the country, and has been twice
passed by the House Of Representa-
tives.
The bill Of Mr. Bailey Of Texas, az
modified, has been recommended az a
substitute for ours by a majority Of
the Senate Committee; it has never,
50 far as l know, been favorably rec
commended for enactment BY any
commercial. industrial or professional
body in the country but it. in effect.
has been condemned BY a number Of
them. Our bill has been reported ia
vorably by a minority of the commit
tee.
Heretofore, the controversy has
been as to whether or not Congress
should enact bankruptcy law as pro-
vided by the Constitution but the
question now is whether or not there
shall be enacted complete, equitable,
voluntary and involuntary law (the
Torrey bilD or the temporary bill rec
commended as above which many good
people believe would be determined
to the best interests Of the debtors
and creditors Of the whole country.
