BURRELL One of the Successful Physicians and Surgeons on the South Side Who Occupies a Richly Furnished and FJeborate Suite of Offices at 201 E. 37th Street, Comer of Indiana Avenue. Dr. John W. Burrell, one of Chica go's successful young physicians, is rapidly forging ahead. Dr. Burrell took his Bachelor's Degree at Walden Uni versity and graduated in medicine from Meharry Medical College, Nash ville, Tenn., in 1914. He served his interneship at Prov ident Hospital in this city. After completing his interneship he associ ated himself with the late Dr. D. E. Burrows, the far famed specialist in diseases of women, and opened offices at 37th street and Indiana avenue. Dr. Burrell distinguished himself ierly way in which he took t. " " tt lucrative practice and that -associate's. Dr. Burrows, during .,2 uttcr's illness. He is now on the clinical staff of Provident Hospital and also a member of the Olivet Health Bureau. He is a firm believer in preparedness and visions the time when his energies will be devoted from the general practice of medicine and diverted to gynecol ogy (diseases of women) only. As a step in that direction, he now maintains the elaborate suite of of fices formerly occupied by himself and Dr. Burrows at 37th street arid Indi ana avenue and is planning a special course in gynecology (diseases of women). Dr. Burrell is an honored member of the Masons. He is full of race pride and he has a regiment of friends who are greatly delighted to see him continue to climb up in the world of medicine. ON. JOSEPH F. HAAS (Concluded from page 1) Mr. Has has the great distinction of employing more colored men and women in his office than any other public official in Illinois. He has well onto twenty-five or thirty men and women constantly employed as clerks and stenographers and he does not keep them hid away in the dark or ont of sight but it is no trouble for anyone to see them working during business hours. For more than thirty years the peo ple residing in this city have known Mr. Haas as a high class business man. At the present time Mr. Haas is sadly in need of at least one hundred more men and women to assist to con duct the affairs of his office which has increased a thousand fold under his able management. With extreme pleasure Mr. Haas states that he wishes his legions of friends all the pleasure that the holi day season can bestow upon them. abbbbbbLbbbbbbbbbbbLW Wmmt aBBBBBBBBBBBBBBKISBYBBV ftc B' ' 1PIH fir - :H 1H 4$rCJ B ir " iLLLLLLLLLLLLB -vXvmS' . .:B, fr5.iA LLBbLLLLLLLB '.- -cV.

Many times copies containing its bright and sparkling editorials and other articles on the leading topics of the day have been eagerly read by many of the most eminent statesmen and other distinguished personages in this country and far beyond the broad, deep, blue sea. With the aid of the daily press, whose editors have frequently com mented on its neat appearance from its inception to the present and with the further aid of the associated press, its name has been hurled or flashed clear around or throughout the civilized world. I It may not be out of place to state , right here that for twenty-seven years it has gallantly fought a long and per- Mstent battle in behalf of justice and the equality of all men before the law. It has never knowingly attempted to transform grand rascals and scoun drels into purified white-winged angels. It has never hesitated in denouncing those who have attempted to appro priate unto themselves all of the func tions of this government and to ride rough shod over the rights and the liberties of the toiling millions. It has made not the slightest difference to it whether they have been Democrats, Republicans or what-nots. It has always bitterly fought on the side of the toiling millions and against the rich or heaven born, the gigantic trusts and the blood-sucking monop olies. It has accomplished many far-reaching and brilliant achievements in the past. Its two greatest have been its terrific and memorable onslaughts on United States Senator Frank J. Can non of Utah, in 1897, 1898 and in 1899, causing his ignominious defeat in his attempt to succeed himself in the United States Senate and that long to be remembered fight on Senator Can non has become a part of the history of Utah. Those who are familiar with the past history of the famous 24th regi ment are still cognizant of the fact that in the latter part of July, 1896, that the late Daniel Lamont, secretory of war, under the second administra tion of President Grover Cleveland, is sued an order removing that regi ment from Silver City, New Mexico, to Fort Douglas, which is located near Salt Lake City, Utah, and immediately after the order had been promulgated by Secretory La mont the Salt Lake Tribune, which has been for many years the leading Republican daily newspaper published between Omaha, Ncbr., and San Fran cisco, Calif., began to bitterly oppose locating the 24th regiment at that fort. Every day on its editorial page it would paint revolting pictures of half drunken Negro soldiers staggering up and down the streets of Salt Lake City, insulting white ladies and beauti- j ful young girls. It repeatedly declared that "when the Negro troops displaced the White soldiers at that fort that they should not be permitted to ride on the street cars as the Whites did not want to come in such close social contact with a lot of half drunken "Nigger" sol diers. As the Tribune favored the re-election of the Hon. Frank J. Cannon to the United States senate at the expira tion of his first term, March 4th, 1899. early in September, 1896, it induced or forced him to call on Secretary La mont and present him with a petition which was signed by the chairman of the Republican state committee of Utah and by many other leading Re publicans and Democrats residing in Salt Lake City, protesting against per mitting the 24th regiment to locate at Fort Douglas. In the meantime we began to fire red-hot shots into Sena tor Cannon and the Tribune and as he was very popular with the great mass of the people residing in the western country for he was one of the western senators who had walked out of the Republican National convention at St Louis, Mo., in 1896, because it did not favor the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and all the daily and weekly newspapers throughout Utah joined in the long-to-be remembered political fight, the majority of them lining up on the side of The Broad Ax and against Senator Cannon and the Tribune. In the midst of that mem orable fight which has become a part of the history of Utah, at two o'clock one morning we rushed up to the home of ose of the highest officials of the Mormon church, who had just re turned to the dty and induced him to scad a telegram to United States Senator Joseph L. Rawlins who was a dyed-ia-the-wool Democrat, requesting him to call oa Secretary Laraont and urge aad plead with Mm not to change aor revoke his order aad several days after the visit of Seaator Rawlins, Sen ator Cannon agaa called oa Secretary Lamont aad the Democratic Secretory r iji, . . . uj war very comiy ana nrmiy m- (Concluded from page 1) formed Senator Cannon that "the order had gone forth transferring the 24th regiment to Fort Douglas; that he could not recall nor revoke it," and in spite of all the efforts put forth by the Tribune and Senator Cannon, on October 21, 1896, the 24th regiment proudly marched through the streets of Salt Lake City on its way to Fort Douglas. One year after this incident the Salt Lake Tribune, in a long editorial, ad mitted that it had made a mistake in fighting and opposing the 24th regi ment from locating at Fort Douglas; that not one White lady had been in sulted on the streets nor on the street cars; that each and everyone of its members had conducted themselves like true gentlemen and orderly and well disciplined soldiers; that they were a great improvement over the White soldiers, who were always fight ing and shooting at each other on the street cars, scaring the wits out of the fair White ladies; that they had always seemed to take much delight in drink ing whisky and cursing or swearing while they were walking up and down the streets, and it wound up by saying that the members of the 24th regiment did not resort to such habits and so on. Senator Frank J. Cannon was so stiff necked that he was unwilling to admit that he had made a mistake in fighting against permitting the 24th regiment to locate at Fort Douglas. Shortly after the November election in 1898 we met him face to face in one of the leading hotels in Salt Lake City and during our short conversation, while looking him square in the eyes, we very softly informed him that we would do everything in our power to prevent his re-election to the United States senate. He simply laughed at us and exclaimed "go ahead and crack your whip for I like opposition and in the end I will win in spite of all the friends of the 24th regiment." At this invitation on his part to continue the fight on him we started in rather slow at first but as the pot began to boil the fight became a little warmer and as we had been keeping cases on his movements at nights in Washing ton, D. C, and at other places, and when the legislature convened January 9, 1899, for the purpose of electing a United States Senator we began to dish up his past immoral record through the columns of The Broad Ax for the edification of its members and early every oerfy morning from the 9th of January to the 9th of March before the members began their labors we would put a large bundle of the copies of The Broad Ax on our back or under our arm and wend our way to the state capital and place a copy of the paper on the desk of each and every member so that they could read about some of the ungentlemanly acts or conduct of Senator Cannon before they began balloting for him. This mode of warfare caused him to be come mighty warm in the collar but as we had the goods on him wc stood our ground and we neither looked to the right nor to the left but straight ahead and continued the bitter fight on him, and on February 9th he held a great meeting in the Salt Lake theater, and in the presence of three thousand people he admitted that "he had vio lated his marriage vows and had in the past permitted himself to do many other things that was unbecoming to a United States senator, that all he asked was for the people to give him another chance or trial and he would make good." The daily newspapers of Salt Lake flashed Senator Cannon's weak admis sions to all parts of Utah and the weekly newspapers assisted to fan the flame into white heat. Many of the leading citizens in the various coun tries instructed their representatives to withdraw their support from Senator Cannon, for after they had read of so many bad things about, him in all the newspapers they were not in favor of returning him to the United States Senate, and from February the 9th his followers and supporters began to break away from him and his vote continued to dwindle down and down; on the one hundred and tenth ballot he ran up to 29 votes and our heart almost sprang out of our mouth and we came near falling down on the floor in a dead faint and for a moment we felt that we had gone down to de feat in the great fight which we had waged against him for be it remem bered he only needed at that time two more votes, as 31 votes wculd have given him a majority over all the other senatorial candidates and he would have been elected to the United States Senate. But to make a long story short, at 12 m. o'clock on the 9th of March, 1899, after taking one hundred and sixty-seven ballots and after one of the longest and bitterest, most momen tous senatorial contests in the history of the west or in any part of the coun try, in the midst of the most dis graceful scenes, in the midst of curses and blows, the legislature of Utah ad journed without electing anyone to succeed Frank J. Cannon in the United States Senate. papers of Utah for starting the long and bitter fight which was made on Senator Cannon, which finally termi nated in hurling him headlong into his political grave. It is still fresh in the minds of the people in this city and throughout the United States or throughout all parts of the world, for that matter, how The Broad Ax in November, 1906 began its terriffic, memorable, or nation or world wide fight or onslaught on United States Senator Benjamin R. Tilman and for two weeks before he . attempted to speak at Orchestra Hall, Tuesday evening, November 27, 1906. i the whole country was in an uproar, over it, for the Associated Press had Hashed it to the farthest ends of the earth, and before it ended all the great i daily newspapers, the weekly newspa pers and even the monthly publications took a hand in it. So great and sol bitter was the feeling against permit- ting him to come to this city to pour out his vile spleen against the Colored I people and the sentiment against him I had been fanned into fever heat by the writer through the columns of The i Broad Ax and by no one else, for many of the so-called prominent Col-, orcd leaders of the race at that time severely condemned us for firing into! him; they claiming that he promised them and one of their White lady friends that he would not touch on the "Negro Question" while delivering his so-called lecture on the "Annexation of Cuba" for the benefit of the Union Hospital. On the day of his arrival in this city he was met at the North Western sta tion by more than twenty policemen, who escorted him to the Great North ern Hotel, where they stood guard over him until he appeared at Orches tra Hall, where more than two hun dred policemen had been stationed to protect him and as he had been lashed into a fury by our writings, for we had dipped our pen in wormwood and bit ter gall, while stripping the bloody mask from his anarchistic face. Still smarting under our merciless lashing which had been kept up in these columns for two weeks that he had not been speaking more than a few moments before he exclaimed to "H 1 with the law" when it comes to dealing with the Colored people, and like a cowardly midnight assassin he was glad to cower behind six or seven Colored policemen while he was engaged in branding all Colored men as "apes, baboons 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 Wis consin Chautauqua Association can celed a forty-eight thousand dollar contract with him for his lecture sea son of 1907, and our memorable fight on him, almost single-handed and alone, finally drove him from the lec ture platform. It has assisted to shape the legisla tion of this mighty nation this can be verified by reading Senate document No. 182, 54th Congress, second session, page 77, which contains an editorial from The Broad Ax, Feb. 19, 1897, in favor of the present National Bank ruptcy Law. Later on in this review letters and a telegram will be pro duced to support our contention in this respect. It has been stated many times in the past by thousands of short-sighted, thoughtless people those who are un familiar with the history of this pub lication and its owner that the paper is so small or insignificant that it ab solutely fails to exert the slightest in fluence over the minds of men such statements are as far from the truth as the bright shining sun is from the earth. The following letters and telegrams shed much light on the important part played by this paper in connection with the passage of the present Na tional Bankruptcy Law: .The Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D. C, Jan. 18. 1897. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Sir: There will be sent to you by this mail a copy of a Senate document con taining much valuable information upon the subject of bankruptcy legis lation. The Senate has made the bank ruptcy bill a special order and no donbt will pass a bill before adjourn ment. Will yon kindly consider editorially the subject of bankruptcy legislation and kindly send me a marked copy of your paper? 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, as modified, has been recommended as a substitute for ours by a majority of the Senate Committee; it has never, so far as I know, been favorably recom mended for enactment by any com mercial, industrial or professJoaal 'LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLBIbh BiwiitfttPB LaLLBLw BaLlB LLLLBff IBaLLLB' LaLLLBIiF 'v iLLB BanananananananaKiLfvBanaaiMMw&L aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa HaBaaaaaaaaaaaK-3vaaaaaaaaaaajr g JPaBBBBBBH alllllHSallH? iS, JaallllV iLLHMiSIr :- laiH aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaraaaaaaajpa aPI' LLLLLLLLLLESeef " ALLLLLBLBBHaaLLLLi aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanaj .aaaBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaj BBBBBBBBBBHr JBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBH LLLLLw ? .jjBB LLLLLflEiaflLflHHaBBBBHLiBH9 HON.

JULIUS ROSENWALD (Concluded from Page 1) So it can readily be observed that Mr. Rosenwald has contributed more than three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars to the thirteen Y. M. C. A.'s aside from the hundreds of thousands of dollars which he has ex pended for establishing the Rosen wald rural schools throughout the Southland. No other person in this country has accomplished one tenth as much in the way of assisting to educate the col ored people along practical lines as Mr. Rosenwald and as long as this mighty nation stand the name of Juli us Rosenwald will be enshrined in the hearts of the 12 million colored peo ple in this country . J in the hearts of those who will follow in their footsteps. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES The executive secretary, T. Arnold Hill, ofttimes has opportunities to exert his influence for the betterment of race relations by the spread of de pendable information concerning Ne groes. He has recently appeared as one of the regular lecturers in the course given every year at Hull House. More significant still, he de livered an address before the Hyde Park Baptist Church. As is well known, this is a section where it is worth while for the white people to be told the truth concerning the Negro. least strange of these was a visit by a Japanese intellectual by the name of Jyuichiro Imaoka. Mr. Iniaoka is a world traveler, now going from coun try to country studying the unrest of various oppressed groups. In this country he was interested in the Gar vey movement and he dropped into the Urban League Information Bu reau to get help along that line. Mr. Imaoka could read English but was unable to speak it. consequently he had great difficulty in making his wants known until, in desperation, he was asked if he spoke French or German. He was skillful in the Ger man language and by this means he Strange things happen at the Urban ras nnally supplied with the desired League from time to time. Not the information.
