States' Rights and "Lefts" Seizing in an iron grip the time-worn principles of states' rights, eloquent statesmen and zealous legislators, who persist in advocating the states' rights doctrines as a smoke-screen barrier to the hopes of twelve million American Negroes, are working overtime to invoke this last efficacious remedy to abort the intentions of the Federal Constitution that all American men and women of every hue should indeed be free. Governors, such as Ritchie of Maryland, and Senators, such as Blease of South Carolina, are tireless in their efforts to prove that the Federal Constitution has usurped many of the rights of states and that there must be an absolute return to local rule, such as was the motivating power of secession during the days of the Civil War. The Negroes of America have ever known what absolute State sovereignty, with complete disregard for the constitutional amendments, has meant to them. It has meant a half-baked citizenship, with rigidiform instrumentalities of evasion so far as the full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of citizenship were concerned. It has meant disfranchisement, poor schools, jim Crow cars, and rampant segregation. The perniciousness of too much local rule, in disregard to Federal intentions, is growing more and more marked. The Indianapolis segregation ordinance and the countless other means to keep the Negro in his place have eloquently and personally in behalf of the States' rights doctrine. Like a serpent the technicalities of laws condoning the right of the State to take president over the Federal citizenship are establishing a false citizenship here and there, and a few thoughtless Negroes are condoning the trend to make "leftovers" of their racial content. The Mayor of Indianapolis is quoted as saying that many "Homies" Negroes favor the segregation ordinance, and not infrequently do local groups, in their zeal to secure representation, give comfort to the ceaseless onward march of States' rights. States' rights are all right. If properly interpreted. The Constitution has clearly defined their purpose and purpose; but nowhere has its background document said that its background document should be wiped out. Negroes must return to the Constitution, and, in return, they must bring back with them the statesmen and officials of the States' rights group who have become departures from the mandate of the Constitution. The days of Patrick Henry, who preferred death to a deprivation of Liberty, must be recalled. States' rights must be made to conform to the provisions of their parent—the Federal Government and the Constitution—so we are lost. ESCAPED CONVICT HELD WITHOUT BAIL George Brown, 27, 301 West 110th street, was held first in bail of $1,000 on a charge of grand larceny and then without bail as escaped convict, in Washington District Court. Under cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Ewald, Brown admitted he escaped last August 10 from a convict road case of the Railway, N. J. State Police. He was serving five years for carrying a concealed weapon at the time of his escape. AGED WOMAN DIES. Nary Yospille, 300 West 140th street, died in her sixtieth year at her apartment Monday.

Socialist Introduces Anti-Lynching Bill WASHINGTON. April 19. Scoring the Coolidge Administration "for failing to carry out its platform pledge of 1924," Representative Berger has introduced a bill providing that individuals who participate in lynchings and officials who fail to take necessary precautions to prevent lynchings would be guilty of a felony. Individuals who take part in lynchings, under the bill, would be liable to imprisonment of from one to five years and a fine of $5,000. Officials derelict in their duty in protecting prisoners would be liable to ten years' imprisonment and a fine of $10,000. Communities in which lynchings occur would be subject to a forfeiture of $10,000. Federal Courts receive jurisdiction over lynchings where the local courts are not likely to execute the law.

Y., April 20.—John Burrell, seventy years old, was found dead in his home at 163 South Ninth street here today under circumstances which indicated that he had been murdered. When Burrell's body was discovered, the police ambulance was summoned and the surgeon said death was due to natural causes. Later, however, Burrell's son, John, told the police he suspected a murder, and Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester County Medical Examiner, performed an autopsy and announced that the cause of death had been a blow on the head, probably with an axe, which had fractured the skull. The aged man possessed a bank account of about $4,000, said to be in the name of another son. Collin A. Burrell. Collin and Miss Elsie Ropper, said to have been the elder Burrell's common law wife, were arrested as material witnesses. Angry Man Opens Fire on Wife --- Was Out on Bail Following Charge of Misdemeanor George Maine, 28, 2247 Seventh avenue, was held without ball for the General Sessions by Magistrate Brodsky in the Washington for the Court Monday on charge of felonious assault. The complaint was signed by his wife, Mrs. Catherine Maine. Last week Maine was arraigned in court charged with a misdemeanor and was later released in THE NEW YORK bail. Sunday morning he became enraged over some actions of his wife and decided to straighten things out. With a 45 calibre revolver, Maine accosted his wife. A few minutes stapsed and he received no satisfaction. Seemingly half crazed he opened fire on his wife but the shots missed her. She fled to the street for safety and then summoned Patrolman Cooper of the 135th street station, who made the arrest. TWO AUTO COLLISIONS. There were two automobile collisions almost at the same time Monday afternoon. One was at the southeast corner of 135th street and Seventh avenue and the other at 135th street and Lenox avenue. No serious damages were incurred. CALVARY INDEPENDENT BOUGHT AT AUCTION BY M.E. CHURCH Beautiful Edgecombe Avenue Edifice Sold Under Hammer of U. S. Marshal for $1,200—Services to Continue The Mt. Calvary Independent Methodist Church, 140th street and Edgecombe avenue, was sold at auction Monday morning for $500 to the New York Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The furniture and fixtures were sold to the same body for $700. In the basement of the church members of the congregation had filled the place by 10 A. M. About 30 minutes later Charles Shongood, United States Auctioneer, mounted the platform. Bidders were called for the church building. The Episcopal Society was the only body to offer a bid. What threatened to be close rivalry in the bidding for the fixtures and furniture was overcome with some difficulty by the church organization. An independent bidder who refused to give his name was a persistent contender for the properties until the price had been raised over the $600 mark. Except for the mere formality of holding the auction after the church had been declared bankrupt, there will be no marked changes in the present congregation. The policy of the Independent Church will be governed by the Methodist Episcopal denomination. It had been reported from a reliable source some time ago the A. M. E. Church had refused to admit the body again to the organization they had deserted. The Independent Church grew out of a split of the Bathel A. M. E. Church several years ago. A spokesman for the church also stated that, up until recently, the M. E. Church had not acted favorably on admitting the insurgent groups. With Mt. Calvary becoming M. E., the number of the churches in the immediate community of that faith is increased to three. Only two blocks away, adjacent to the Dorrence Brooks Square, is the half-million-dollar St. Mark's M. E. Church, which will soon be completed. Although the church and its properties were sold for only $1,200, the edifice is subject to a lien on three mortgages amounting to over $102,000. Death House Inmate and 3 Whites Escape MIAMI, Fla., April 19.—Six prisoners, including Jalilan Lawrence and Willie Green, under death sentences in connection with the killing of four men, three being white, in robberies, escaped from the Dade County Jail here early Thursday. Lawrence and Green unlocked the death cell door, tore loose an iron bar to the window, lowered themselves to the jail yard by blankets, and climbed over a high fence topped with barbed wire. Their escape was not discovered until several hours later, and asleep in the death cell they had vacated was Arthur Williams, a Negro, who was convicted with them. The other four Negroes were under minor sentences. Mary E. Widow of the Late Edward A. Warren and William H. Davis to Be Wed Today Romance Begun Over Thirty Years Ago to Culminate in Simple Ceremony This Afternoon in Mother A. M. E. Zion Church In the presence of relatives and just a few intimate friends at the Mother Zion A.M.E. Church, Mrs. Edward A. Warren, publisher of The Amsterdam News, will be married to Mr. William H. Davis, of San Francisco, this afternoon. The ceremony will be marked by simplicity. Owing to the absence from the city of the Rev. J. W. Brown, the pastor, Rev. A. X. Watkins, assistant pastor of the church, will officiate. The marriage is a culmination of a romance that began thirty-two years ago in Boston but was abruptly terminated when the young beauty accepted the hand of another sultor. Both were popular among the younger set, especially in the theatrical world, where Mrs. Warren spent her youthful years as an actress. While playing with a company in Chicago, the young debutante was secretly married to the late Edward A. Warren. This was a disdistinct upset to society as it had been generally rumored that she was to be the bride of Mr. Davis. For a number of years the rejected sultor faded out of the picture of the young couple's life. Community Church Discusses Negro All Services Sunday Devoted to His Contribution to America "The New Negro Day" was cele- A little over twelve years ago "Kid," as they called Mr. Davis, was guest at dinner here of Mr. and Mrs. Warren. Once since that time he was their week-end guest, but there was not the slightest thought of the ultimate revival of the romance. Just the answering of a chance letter again caused regular correspondence. Air mail, special deliveries and telegrams were soon pressed into service. Determined not to bury his once cherished dream Dan Cupid shot his arrow with telling effect. Mr. Davis was formerly of Boston, where he was employed by the government. For the last twelve years he has been in the real estate business in California. He was the only Negro exhibitor in the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The honeymoon will be spent in Asbury Park. Black-Faced White Man Held for Investigation (Priston News Service). NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 19.—12. E.

Cornett told the police that he is a student at Cumberland University. 16 PAGES Complete in Two Sections 3c. IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c All Services Sunday Devoted to His Contribution to America "The New Negro Day" was celebrated at the Community Church, 34th street and Park avenue, of which John Haynes Holmes is pastor, Sunday. At the morning service the Rev. John Herman Randall, assistant pastor of the church, presached on the "New Negro," stressing the fact the Negro of today had achieved a spiritual freedom which was releasing him. The contribution of the Negro to the music of America was the subject discussed by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols and James Weldon Johnson Sunday evening. Countee Cullen read a number of his poems from his volume of poems "Color." The keynote of Du Bols' talk was that the outstanding contributions have been the Negro's labor and his freedom. Mr. Johnson declared that the only things cultural in American civilization that have come out of American soil have been from the American Negroes. He enumerated folk lore, which originated from slaves; dancing in its every phase, even down to the "Charleston"; American popular music, which he said originated directly with the Negro, and finally the Negro spirituals. John H. Murphy Jr., of the Baltimore Afro-American was in the city last week. STORY UNDER EXTRA PAGES Complete in Two Sections 3c. IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c at the Post Office SECTION ONE AD HIEF ALLEGED SWINDLER CHARGED WITH FALSE SOLICITATION Police Claim William J. Bell Obtained $3,500 of Million Dollar Fund for Proposed Negro Hospitals His alleged attempt to erect four hospitals here led to the indictment of William J. Bell, 39, 229 Edgecombe avenue, on a charge of grand larceny Friday. He obtained about $3,500 in contributions to his proposed $2,000,000 fund, police said, before he was arrested on March 19 last. Bell, it is charged, circularized wealthy persons with a letter outlining his "charitable" purpose. The letter head was "The Affiliated United Colored Hospitals," and contained the names of some of the best known residents in the city. He obtained the names, he said, from newspaper stories of the arrivals or sailings of prominent persons or ocean-going ships. According to a confession he made to Assistant District Attorney Lehman, Bell obtained a promise from Arthur C. James, millionaire, for a $500,000 contribution as a memorial to the latter's mother and on condition that a like amount he raised before the contribution was paid. He had a "drive" on in Boston some time ago, using the same title, but for $3,000,000. He is wanted there in case he is acquitted in the present case, police said. Bell was arrested on the complaint of Virginia Terrill, a newspaper woman, 527 West 121st street, who was investigating "charitable" drives. She "donated" $25 and then caused his arrest. Bell was indicted under a section of the Penal Code which classes fraudulent charitable solicitations even for $1 as grand larceny. The indictment was handed up to Judge Francis X. Mancuso in General Sessions. Bell is locked up in the Tombs in default of $5,000 ball and probably will be arraigned for pleading this week. Probe Death of Man Killed by Still Explosion Investigations were under way Thursday into the circumstances surrounding the death of Obleton C. Otley of 25 Whitney street, this city, who was burned to death Wednesday while dismantling an illicit alcohol still discovered by Federal prohibition agents at 29 Naples avenue. Belleville. Prohibition Agent William H. Flaher says the building was poorly ventilated and full of fumes, but he is not certain how the fumes became ignited. It is probable that heat from smouldering embers in the furnace beneath the still may have caused the explosion he says. DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS, Etc.

Two BID NOT KNOW HE HAD BLADE OF KNIFE. IN FAGE One of the most amazing and miraculous eases in the history oi the medical pro- fession was experienced here Jast week when Dr. Walter Delph, of 111 West | 138th street, discovered a six-inch knife blade extending. trans- versely across the face uf John Tyler Hines, 28, 142 West 12yth street, and later removed it. A little over three weeks use Hines first went to Dr. Delph for lroatment. Thinking that his jn Vent might be subjected to lork- Juw as al result of the description vf his trouble, the physician trewt- ed him, Lelaz cortain that the trouble was not in tho man’s jaw. Dir. Delph said that he applied ao cleciric current. On applying tho slightest electric current the physician noticed that {t severely shocked Hines. Ie then carefully examined the left side of Hines’ face and saw, for the fist time, @ sinall point vi steel protruding through bis pa: Gent's right ear, By taking a pair of farcaps Lv.

The Nimay revealed the unusual fae that the man had a buteher. Knife blade ove neh in width: and six inches lovg in his head, extond- ing from saw io Jaw, What added to the miracle was’ the fact that Hines could not account for the knife. The most definite informu tion that cook he ascertained from him was that he had been stalsbed by a man naa altercation, Following the altercation tie went to the Harlem Hoxpital for treat: anent, The knife blade.

At the Edgecombe Sanitarium Dr, Delph, assisted by Dra. James L, Wilson ‘und Mf, E. Ross. perform: ed the delicate operation.

Roberson had gathered quite a following and had headquarters in this city and at Absecon, N. J. A number of his disciples were arrested about a month ago. Roberson was in Chicago at the time of his indictment and when officers arrested him he warned them that they were outraging the "Messiah."

April 19. Gasping cries of Edgar Kennedy, 4 years old, forestalled the peril of gas asphyxiation for nine occupants of the home of his father, James Kennedy, of 1816 Eighth street, early Thursday morning. Five occupants were affected by the gas and three were found in an unconscious condition when the father rose dazedly and threw open windows after being awakened by the distressed gaps of the child. A leak in the gas pipe leading to a crack in the basement kitchen of the home held responsible by the family. The Mrs. Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Minnie Hickett, Ed. Pullen, four children and a visitor were sleeping in the house while the gas was flooding the rooms, it was reported. Edgar was in a serious condition when Dr. W. H. Greene arrived on the scene in response to an emergency call. Artificial respiration was resorted to after the child was apparently dend and he responded to the efforts. Meanwhile Mrs. Kenny and Mr. Rickett had become unconscious. The children were taken to Freedman's Hospital in Dr. Greene's automobile, where they were treated and allowed to return home.

RAWLS, 277 W. 134th St., Apt. 3. Choosing Curtains for "Better Homes" Choosing curtains for the house brings to mind fabrics of charming color and texture hanging in graceful folds. But it is not always easy to get just the effect the designer must be considered. To curtain the windows of even a five-room house about 60 yards of material is needed, and curtains generally have to be renewed every few years. In planning curtains remember that windows are put in houses in order to admire them as simple as effectiveness will permit. Elaborate curtains defeat the purpose of windows and are out of place in the average home. Look carefully at the shape and size of curtains of various styles on those particular windows and shade them well as inside the house. If there are lovely views from the windows, study how to keep them without sacrificing privacy and an attractive interior. An unattractive view may need to be screened by curtains, but beware of shutting out too much light. Study the general style of your room. Curtains can help to make a room homelike and inviting or dignified and formal, depending on the type of material used and how it hang. Glass curtains made of thin material and hung on a straight rod inside the casing close to the glass soften and change the color of the light coming into the room, lend a warm and cozy appearance to slide draperies. Glass curtains should be just long enough to escape the sill. Slide draperies give a finished appearance to the window, are useful as shades, if arranged, to draw, light and color to the room and of modifying poor proportions. In small homes.

If a more formal effect is desired, let them extend to the baseboard or an inch above the floor. Balance used with or without draperies carries the eye across the top and has the effect of decreasing the height of room and window. Before buying curtain material get samples of the kinds that seem most suitable and see how they go with walls, woodwork, floor, and furniture. Both day and artificial light. Sought light shining through curtain fabrics often brings out striking effects not suspected until put to this test. Excellent curtain materials can sometimes be found among the dress goods. Fabrics and colors that will clean well and withstand light are better. Be in the gold. Examine also for defects in the weave that may show up when the curtains are hung.

Mrs. Henry Richards and Mrs. Carrie Stewart of Washington, D. C., were also present. Mme. Osborne spoke of the trip around the world and the greater opportunities for the Walker agents in New York. In selecting figured materials give preference to conventional designs that will stand the test of being looked at day after day. Sprawling designs make the window look shorter and broader, and stripes tend to increase the height and it used in excess give a stiff, uncomfortable effect. Measure the windows with care before buying the material, and measure and cut the material, by a thread if possible, before making cutting and neat sewing go a long way toward insuring well-hanging curtains.

Burt Showed Way to Other Theatre Owners in Harlem Laiayette Theatre Manager Fought Conditions Which Other Houses Are Not Called Upon to Face WE BELIEVE in trying to do justice when we are shown the truth of certain conditions, and today we rise to compliment B. L. Burt, manager of the Lafayette, in spite of the stand we took when the Brecker interests took over the theatre. We have been conducting a campaign for justice to the colored motion picture operators in Harlem and going back over our records we find that Manager Burt even fought the issue in the courts to install colored operators at the Lafayette. Burt, on moral grounds, went so far as to abrogate a union contract to give Negroes a chance in their own community. Burt, as a white man, knew that the colored men had no chance in those houses occupied as white. Burt is unqualifiedly against the colored operators being forced to how to any Jim Crow reservations in any labor union, which, naturally, is the same opinion held by thinking colored people. He did not stop at fighting for the Negro operators, but went to the hat for the stage hands, who were devised entrance to the union some time ago. Even now, we understand, the stage hands are still "without" the union. "I see no reason," said Mr. Burt on Monday night, "why Negro operators should not get a fair chance in the unfriendly and in the theatre's catering to their own people. Why should any union issue costs for Negro operators to work only in Negro houses. Let them carry their cards as men and work more opportunity presents itself." "Negro operators, to my way of thinking," continued the manager of the Lafayette, "should not experience any trouble securing places in their own neighborhood. I have had them for five years and have found no better. And this people the union. Until such time as the union is willing to be fair and give these operators the same chance I would advise them to be one of the Greeks bearing gifts." Many houses would employ Negroes without any question. Ability counts and that's what the "When I came to the Lafayette there were a number of colored operators, walking around with insults and could not get any recognition because they were colored. When I stated this fact some of the fairest judges in this city before whom I had to appear, we saw I gave these boys a chance to see the matter from a true streetcar and I won the case." Yes, I am for the colored operatives getting a fair chance in the audience a chance without any reservations, and I have every reason to believe that every theatre owner in this community will give these boys a chance now that the matter has been put up squarately to them. The Lafayette employs colored people from the front of the theatre to the back of the stage because we believe it is fair and just. The city of New York gives these operators their O. K., and unless they possess the ability, they would never get it.

Union Would Jim Crow Picture Operators About Things Theatrical TO those who enjoy the quips on "Mirandy," turn to the sporting page. We are handling more important matters here today. THE following letter arent our activities in behalf of the colored motion picture operators in this neighborhood came to us last week: N. V. Amsterdam News. Harlem Section. For the past six (6) weeks you have been devoting a few columns in your daily paper to the proposition of moving picture theatres in the Harlem section, employing colored operators. In some of your statements you make claim that these colored operators have been denied admission to the Moving Picture Operators' Union of Greater New York, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Your statement in this regard is erroneous, and if you want the true facts, you can easily obtain them by sending a reporter to our office at 324 West 42nd street, to see our Mr. S. Torr, and he will be more than glad to enlighten you as to the true state of affairs. Yours very truly, A. Horowitz, Secretary. BEFORE we send a reporter to see Mr. Terr, we think, after we met a few explanations today it will be Mr. Terr's move to come to our. In the first place, for the information of Mr. Horowitz, we say that we have never charged his union with denying admissions to our motion picture operators. He evidently has this paper mixed with some other. We might also remind him that this is a week and not a daily publication. Mr. fight has been made on moral grounds. We feel that the color motion picture houses in this section should employ colored motion operators. We feel this way because we know how hard it is for our boys to get jobs in the motion picture houses catering to people outside of this district, union or no union. We are not unaware of in other lines of endeavor even affiliation with a union hasn't held people to any appreciable extent. IN Mr. Horowitz or Mr. Terr explain why, in the name of all that holy, they would foster a Jim Crow organization in this part-of-Untry where up-standing white Americans, born and bred in this area countries, have led that valliant brigade which included Breech Powell and others who fought and succeeded in doing away with a Crow practices of that benighted section of this country whorance runs rife and lynching is the chief outdoor sport? HERE's something that will be very enlightening to Negroes that have we can at one swoop enter white unions and enjoy the same this and privileges. In spite of the fact we are forced to pay the fees, here's some reservations which, we believe, it is going to both Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Terr quite a little time in explaining minds of those black men and women in the South who are payees, but whose children are being denied the right to enjoy the same educational advantages as the whites. Also reminds us of the Jaw cars. Colored people pay the same rates, but they are not give same accommodations as the whites. Here's some of the rules to our motion picture operators when they gathered at the beholden union: BEFORE we send a reporter to see Mr. Terr, we think, after we make a few explanations today it will be Mr. Terr's move to come to see us. In the first place, for the information of Mr. Horowitz, we want to say that we have never charged his union with denying admission to our motion picture operators.

We are not unaware that in other lines of endeavor even affiliation with a union hasn't helped our people to any appreciable extent. CAN Mr. Horowitz or Mr. Terr explain why, in the name of all that's holy, they would foster a Jim Crow organization in this part of the country where up-standing white Americans, horn and bred in this and other countries, have led that valliant brigade which included Beecher, Roosevelt and others who fought and succeeded in doing away with the Jim Crow practices of that benighted section of this country where ignorance runs rife and lynching is the chief outdoor sport? HERE'S something that will be very enlightening to Negroes that believe we can at one swoop enter white unions and enjoy the same rights and privileges. In spite of the fact we are forced to pay the same taxes, here's some reservations which we believe, it is going to take both Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Terr quite a little time in explaining. Reminds us of those black men and women in the South who are paying taxes, but whose children are being denied the right to enjoy the same educational advantages, as the whites. Also reminds us of the Jim Crow cars. Colored people pay the same rates, but they are not given the same accommodations as the whites. Here's some of the rules as read to our motion picture operators when they gathered at the behest of the union: (1) The Negro operators admitted to this auxiliary must pay the same initiation fee upon admittance. They must pay the same dues as the white members of this local, as well as any assessments levied by our assembly. (2) The Negro operators shall be entitled to all the privileges enjoyed under our prevailing wage scale and conditions, excepting as follows: The Negro operators shall be confined as far as physically possible to working in the colored belt, under the jurisdiction of Local 306, I. A. T. S. C. (3) The Negro operators shall be subjected to the provisions of our constitution and by laws, with the following exceptions: regular meetings of Local 306. The president shall appoint a member of Local 306 to represent the Negro operators at our regular meeting, sold appointment to be approved by the auxiliary members to Local 306 for Negro operators, the members so appointed shall also act as the representative of Local 306, I.A. T. S.C. at the caucuses of the auxiliary members to Local 306 for Negro operators, which he may call at the discretion of the executive board. He shall also act as the representative of the auxiliary members to Local 306 for Negro operators in all their grievances. (4) The above rules as set forth are made for an indefinite period. After these rules are in effect for a reasonable length of time, upon petition properly made to Local 306, I.A. T. S.C. and upon the will of our body, the auxiliary members to Local 306 for Negro operators may become full fledged members of Local 306, I.A. T. S.C., with the following exceptions: They shall not attend regular meetings of this union. (5) The above rules as laid down are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the executive board and body of Local 306, I.A. T. S.C. us the only saving grace in the whole matter is that last paragraph of the rules. Since they are subject to change at any time, we are Mr. Horowitz and his associates will see that the time was right moment he woke up to the realization that Negroes are not as far today as in those days when they were held in slavery. We would wonder how in all that’s just, white men, the majority of white men from foreign lands long after the Negro race in this country had its contribution of blood and treasure to the upbuilding of the public, could expect us to accept such a Jim Crow suggestion as such in the above rules. Are these black boys not American citizens entitled to the same consideration as those men pouring into the cities of Ellis Island, bringing for the most part their quota of that other disreputable characters adding to the remarkable number unsolved murders as pointed out no longer than last week? we are going to be confined as far as possible to those houses where Negroes are paying their hard earned dollars, why then is it necessary for our boys to join the union? We did not offer this suggestion, but take a great deal of satisfaction in being able to say that cannot see where they would benefit anything by joining the union or no union, they would have a hard time breaking into the little houses, and since we have a number of such houses caters exclusively to Negroes, let Negro operators be given the chance to enter these houses without having to pay dues to be Jim Crowed. American citizens and honest workmen, why should it be necessary to accept a subordinate place in the union when they are payed metri, who came over with the last quota? ID. so that Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Terr et al can understand, we were to emphasize the fact that we are not trying to antagonize the unit of the theatre owners. We are asking for a simple meed of justice, are asking those theatre owners in this district to give the blacks a chance to earn their livelihood in their own community, as all know they have a hard time getting a chance elsewhere. Of course are exceptions, but we are speaking for the majority. We are noticing the union to strike for all time those un-American reservations from their rules and treat us as men and not as things apart. By the God, when shot and shell flow over those hells called trenches, the German bullets carried no Jim Crow rules, and they souls black as well as white. Black men were right there, right up front, their share and fighting for that thing called Democracy, which are beginning to believe is but a myth. Think it over, both units of the theatre owners. There are but three colored boys, the exception taking in white theatres, while the union has ELEVEN WHITE MEN WORKING IN WHAT THEY THEMSELVES CALL "THE BLACK MEN." TO us the only saving grace in the whole matter is that last paragraph of the rules. Since they are subject to change at any time, we believe Mr. Herowitz and his associates will see that the time was ripe the moment he woke up to the realization that Negroes are not as foolish today as in those days when they were held in slavery. We sometimes wonder how in all that's just, white men, the majority of whom came from foreign lands long after the Negro race in this country had made its contribution of blood and treasure to the unbuilding of the Republic, could expect us to accept such a Jim Crow suggestion as set forth in the above rules. Are these black boys not American citizens and entitled to the same consideration as those men pouring into the gates of Ellis Island, bringing for the most part their quotas of thugs and other disreputable characters adding to the remarkable number of unsolved murders as pointed out no longer than last week? If we are going to be confined as far as possible to those houses where Negroes are paying their hard earned dollars, why then is it necessary for our boys to join the union? We did not offer this suggestion before, but take a great deal of satisfaction in being able to say that we cannot see where they would benefit anything by joining the union. Union or no union, they would have a hard time breaking into the big movie houses, and since we have a number of such houses catering exclusively to Negroes, let Negro operators be given the chance to enter these houses without having to pay dues to be Jim Crowed. As American citizens and honest workmen, why should it be necessary for them to accept a subordinate place in the union when they are paying the same dues as Mike McCarthy, Abraham Cohen or Michaelawittch Demetri, who came over with the last quota? AND, so that Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Terr et al can understand, we want to emphasize the fact that we are not trying to antagonize the union or the theatre owners. We are asking for a simple need of justice. We are asking those theatre owners in this district to give the black boys a chance to earn their livelihood in their own community, as any fool knows they have a hard time getting a chance elsewhere. Of course, there are exceptions, but we are speaking for the majority. We are now asking the union to strike for all time those un-American reservations from their rules and treat us as men and not as things apart. By the good God, when shot and shell flow over those hells called trenches in France, the German bullets carried no Jim Crow rules, and they sought out black as well as white. Black men were right there, right up front, doing their share and fighting for that thing called Democracy, which we are beginning to believe is but a myth. Think it over, both union and theatre owners. There are but three colored boys, the exceptions, working in white theaters, while the union has ELEVEN WHITE MEN WORKING IN WHAT THEY THEMSELVES CALL "THE BLACK BELT." --- To the Editor: YOURS BEFORE we send a reporter to a few explanations today it was.

Anderson off his feet last Saturday night at the Imperial Lodge of Elks Auditorium when a much larger gathering turned out and danced until the early morning hours. The professor had announced that he would have a lineup of a number of charming and most personable young ladies, and the boys, all halling from Missouri, journeyed to the auditorium to be shown and they confessed that it was all it was "cracked up to be." With good music male patrons tried to outdo each other in purchasing the tickets which gave them three dances with the young lady of their own selection. It worked beautifully. In fact, better than anticipated as most any young lady will feel somewhat satisfied to know that the youngsters gladly pay to dance with them. The group the professor had catering to the lovers of the dance of male persuasion last Saturday night included Evelyn Thompson, Bernice Kemp, May Brown, Martha Bryant, Dorris St. Clair, Lottie Arceola, Lillian Davis, Mary Terry and Kathryne Tinsley.

The company was to have closed the week previous to this date but Miss Mills asked Mr. Leslie to continue another week so that her many friends who were unable to get in because of the lack of seating capacity could do so. The entire company will leave on the Steamship La France on Saturday, May 15, and will open in Paris at the Ambassador Theatre two weeks later. It is said that the sum being paid for this greatest of all colored revues is the largest any Parisian manager has ever guaranteed. The entire organization, Florence Mills, Jones and Jones, Edith Wilson, Johnny Nit, Winfred and Mills, Lloyd Mitchell, Shrimp Jones, Johnnie Dunn and the many others including the famous Plantation Beauties and the Plantation Orchestra, together with all the stage effects and costumes, will be taken over. After the engagement in France, which is expected to extend over a period of months, the company will appear in London and in many other of the principal cities of Europe.

He was one of the old-time coachmen, with the highly polished brass buttons and high hat of a former decade, a gardener, a cabby, and a bank janitor. He was retired as the janitor of the First National Bank about three years ago and his weekly salary went on from that time. He died at the home of a stepdaughter, Miss Ella King, of strong, on Friday last. Benjamin W. Downing of Flushing, who was a District Attorney of Queens County many years ago and a schoolmaster before that in the old village of Flushing and Whitestone, discovered Bailey in Virginia just after the emancipation. He was on a visit to Virginia and he brought Bailey and his wife, Adelia, with him from the South. He worked for several years for Mr. Downing at the Downing home in Plushing. Then Mr. Downing turned him over to a resident of Whitestone, former Sheriff Platt third, of Whitestone, who owned the old Watson estate, now the southern portion of Beechhurst. He was the Sheriff's coachman until dark days arrived for the Sheriff, who transferred him to John D. Locke, the founder of the Locke Tin Factories, the industrial concern that made Whitestone Village possible in 1856. In the several transfers Bailey made his wife, Zelda, a famous cook, went with him. When the Locke fortunes failed Halley and his wife wore over to Charles Seff. About this time Halley was left a widower. After Seff died, Halley appeared as a full-fledged village canny. He reminded at the cab business until the automobile ended his business, and his next appearance was as the jailor of the First National bank. The age of the former slave is not known, but old-timers of White stone say that he must have been well over the hundred mark. AUTO CRASH PROVES FATAL Mrs. Elia May Hall, 35, of 23 Dewey avenue, Jamaica, died at the Jamaica Hospital Saturday of a fractured skull received Saturday night at Merrick road and Sheyne street, Jamaica, when she was struck by an automobile driven by Charles Cotter of Central avenue, Valley Stream. So Weak Couldn't Stand "My wife's health broke down and for years she was just a physical wreck," says Mr. Thomas Glynn, of Gibson, La. "We did everything we knew, yet she seemed to get worse and worse. She was so weak till she couldn't stand, and had to be carried like a baby. It looked like nothing would save her that had been done. CARDUI For Female Troubles "I knew that Cardui was for women. I decided to try it for her as all else had failed. She couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and I was desperate. "After taking a few doses of Cardui, we were so glad to note that she wanted something to eat, and with each bit of nourishment, and each day's doses of Cardui, she grew stronger and got up out of bed. She is now able to cook, and stronger than in a long time." LAME BACK IF YOUR GLAWS ARE WEAK YOU SUFFER FROM A LAME BACK. OMIN INFUSES STRENGTH News of Brooklyn and Long Island Matter for Publication for This Page Must Reach Us Not Later Than Monday Graham Acquitted of Killing Boy With Truck Charged with leaving the scene of an accident in which a young boy was killed, Frank Graham of 79 Washington street, Jamaica, was acquitted in the Court of Special Sessions. It was alleged that Graham passed a trolley on the left side and that the boy had alighted from the car and attempted to cross before it started again. He was struck by the truck operated by Graham. There was no evidence to show that Graham had known anything of the accident, it appearing that the boy fell under the rear wheels. Graham did not stop, because he was unaware an accident had occurred. SIX DAYS FOR CARELESS DRIVING Mack Hill, 28, of 156 Lincoln street, Flushing, was sentenced to six days in jail by Magistrate Greaser Thursday when he was unable to pay a fine of $30 for reckless driving and failing to have an operator's license. An automobile truck he was operating struck a machine owned by William P. Semon of Beechknoll avenue, Little Neck. Gillis Found Not Guilty Norman Gillis, 28, of 122 Prospect street, Jamaica, was held in $500 ball for Special Sessions by Magistrate Giorgio at Jamaica on Wednesday on a charge of violating the Sullivan Law. According to the police, Mrs. Gillis said Gillis pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not explode and she ran and called a policeman, who arrested Gillis. According to the records, Gillis was in court once before on a charge of non-support. Flushirite No Butter and Egg Man, He Says "I only make $85 a month and I can't keep two women on that money, and, besides, I got my own wife," declared Jackson Green, porter at the Main street station of the Long Island Railroad in Flushing, when he was arraised in the Shushing Magistrate's Court Thursday to answer a charge of assaulting Joseph Webb of 49 Bradford avenue. Flushing. Webb alleged that Green had been "running around" with Mrs. Webb for some time, which prompted Green to declare, "No, sir, that isn't a fact." Green denied striking Webb and said the latter had crossed the street to engage in an argument with him. "When he come up to me he said: 'I see been a long time wantin' to get you, and he started to cuss me and cries my mother.'" said Green. "He tried to hit me and I only pushed him away from me and told him. 'Go away from me, man! Ah don't want to fight.'" Magistrate Gresser dismissed the complaint. Flowers Wins From Gans WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 17. Tiger Flowers, world middleweight champion, outpointed Allentown Joe Gans here in a 10-round bout. Flowers received the referee's verdict after the judges had disagreed. Speed and aggressiveness carried the victory for the Negro champion. Although outclassed, Gans hurled the harder blows, carrying the sixth and seventh rounds when he drove Flowers to the ropes four times with hard rights to the body. Flowers wetted 168 and Gans 1611 pounds. Bob Lawson, Negro, of Atlanta, knocked out Hughie Chambers of Philadelphia in the third round. Inter-Racial Folk-Lore Festival on Large Scale Sunday evening next, April 25, at the Wadleigh High School Auditorium, 114th street, west of Seventh avenue, and the Sunday following, May 2, at the Washington Irving High School Auditorium, Irving place and 16th street, the Gaelle Musical Society of America will present an "Inter-racial Folk-Lore Festival" on an elaborate scale, which is certain to appeal to the many thousands in New York who cherish a love for the bewitching folk songs of the Gael and the soul-stirring and inspiring plantation melodies and Negro spirituals which are constantly coming into greater and greater popularity because of their intrinsic musical merit. The Abyssinian Symphony Ensemble shall charm us with quiet old folk tunes and traditional melodies, while the Dextral Male Chorus, under the capable direction of William C. Elkins, shall prove their claim to the title bestowed on them in Harlem—"America's Most Representative Body of Colored Singers." With Miss Sononna C. Talley at the piano for the chorus, a rare treat of plantation songs and Negro spirituals is in store for the audience.

L. Harris Talks to Doctors Comr. L. L. Harris Talks to Doctors Discusses Measures for the Prevention of Disease in Harlem. Preventive measures formed the keynote of the address delivered by Dr. Louis L. Harris, Health Commissioner, before the Harlem Medical Society Friday night at Cragg's Restaurant, 102 West 130th street. About sixty physicians and surgeons of the community were present. Ferdinand Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner, was a guest and made a short talk. Dr. Walter Delph, who recently performed a miraculous operation by removing a six-inch knife blade from a man's head, also was on the program. Dr. Wiley M. Wilson, president of organization, made an appeal for a stronger co-operation among the medical men and invited the doctors who were not members of the association to join. A resolution offered by Dr. Louis Wright condemning the policy of the local branch of the Urban League in regard to homes for the convalescent, which has been proposed on Staten Island, was adopted. The sentiment voiced by the medical men was that the League was fostering a plan whereby segregation was being instituted and, at the same time, stepping into the province of the physicians. Commissioner Harris. In his talk, pleaded for a greater unification among the professional men and urged them to co-operate with the Board of Health in executing plans for the prevention of disease in the city. He pointed out that, in proportion, the death rate among the infants in Harlem was about double that of other communities, and declared that it was a sad reflection upon the community. He vigorously deplored the fact that the majority of the smallpox cases that had been reported to him during his nineteen years as Commissioner were among Negroes. In discussing the death rate, Dr. Harris admitted that it was due largely to the economic strain under which the Negroes live. Especially for children, he stressed the need for preventive measures. He suggested that the "Shick Test" be used and strenuously advocated the use of antitoxin to prevent scarlet fever. Nathan Strauss, wealthy philanthropist, had promised to provide a milk fund for this dispatrict, the Commissioner said.

STEELE THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1926 Education for Life Founder's Day Address of Dr. FRANCIS G. PEABODY, of Harvard University, Delivered at Tuskegee Institute Sunday, April 11. (Concluded from Last Week.) To see things just as they are with precision and sincerity, to handle things with accuracy and ingenuity, is a better evidence of the power that any amount of borrowed learning or unjudged knowledge. In other words, with no assurance for the inspiring influence of teachers and books, it comes to this, that one must in the end in large part educate himself, that education cannot be forced on him without but must grow on him, that the teacher may urge, persuade, invite, or punish, but cannot compel education, any more than he can force a child to grow up into a man. NEW IDEA IN EDUCATION. I have heard of a boy at a strictly plous school who was forbidden to study his lessons on Sunday, lost it should interterate with his religious duties, and who was detected at his Monday lessons. On being asked why he had broken the Bible, he said, "I was reading the Bible reading heard that morning had encouraged him. "You read," he said to the master, "that it was lawful to pull an ass out of a hole on the Sabbath day; and I thought it would be still more justifiable if the ass who was in a hole should pull himself out." It was an accurate illustration of the contrast between the old education and the modern view, the teacher dictates, prohibits, and finally pulls the pupils out of the hole of ignorance or indifference. According to the new view, the teacher advises, encourages, lets down a rope into the hole, builds a ladder up from the hole, may even stop up the pit! He becomes a pitfall; but the pupil climbs up the ladder, climbs for himself, uses his own muscle and nerves and pulls himself up into the light of reason, culture, self-control, and hope. A human mind is today, not to be moulded into a predetermined form but a sensitive and responsive form which has in it the capacity to grow and must grow in its own way. Education, is not so much instruction as invitation. The teacher is not a task-master but an incumbent. The scholar is an incumbent in a chair and a operative human soul, with its own timidity and distrust to be roused into courage, confidence, and self-restraint. Imitation makes an automation; cooperation makes a mind. When the teacher has educated the best the scholar can do or be, then his task is fulfilled. The new education is an education for life. Let us follow this way of education a little further, and observe what are principles which it what is and what is not education for life. The first of these principles is that of speculization. The new education deals not with a mass or a class, but with the special gifts and limitations and capacities of the individual mind. It assumes that each life is made for something, and that to detect and disentangle this special gift from the confusion of a mind that has not found itself is the teacher's supreme desire and joy. In the supreme desire, the teacher begins with a growth of what often seems helplessness or dulness, faith in the mind that has no faith in itself, and by that faith draws out the growth of the mind as the warmth of the sun draws out the life of the dormant plant. An English school teacher who was one of the first to see this truth, and show his faith in it, has so much learning there is no such thing as a duo boy. The task of the teacher, he goes on, is "to find out what kind of work appeals to each boy." Here we meet, over and against the principles of specialization that evil word, now so freely used, standardization. To ignore the standardization of young minds and to train them into a uniform type, conforming to a prescribed standard, and crammed for a uniform examination, that plan of education, though it is still collapsed by most schools and colleges, comes out of the persistent indifferences with which so many young minds resist the benevolent attempt of teachers. Booker Washington once told of a colored teacher in reconstruction days who was asked whether he meant to teach that the world was colored, or whether the committee would give him the place he would teach either way, as they might direct. That is hardly an exaggerated statement of the state of mind in which many teachers adjust themselves to a standpoint, where the test of their teaching is, or its inspiration, but its conformity to the standard fixed and its delivery of the goods expected. teacher. He walks not by sight but by faith. To the principle of specialization must be added the principle of unification. This means a recognition of the fact that the pupil's life is not made up of separate elements, but is a composite unit. body, mind, and soul, and that to train one part alone is to make life a fragment rather than a unit. The earlier tradition of education detached the training of the mind from the rest of the life. The tree Rs of the elementary school the languages and histories of the higher academy, and the academic studies of the college taken together made one educated; and o. course it remains true that the instruction of the mind is an essential part of education. But, after all, such studies deal with but: fraction of life. A boy or girl might be equipped to enter college—yes, and even to graduate from college—and yet remain in a large area of life illiterate. He might not be able to see facts with his eyes, and not be able to hand, or control them with his will. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION At this point we see the deeper meaning of industrial education. It may, of course, be justified by its economic value. A good workman can make a better living to-day than the average clerk or minister. Much more fundamental, however, is the need to be able to upon character, and its product in habits of precision, thoroughness, and intellectual integrity. This is the great educational discovery of the present age, that the habit of mind promoted by the work of the hands has its part in the training of the mind and will, and that industrial education must be included in education for life. We constantly repent to ourselves at Hamilton—and I have no doubt the same maxim is taught here—that educa- For Jazz $6 Ask for No. 0149 For Jazz Kings and Regular Fellows $ 6 and $ 7 YORKER 201 W tion should be of the heart and the head and the hands; but that saying does not merely mean that these are three distinct parts of the pupil which must be trained, his head to think, his hands to work, and his heart to feel. It means to cooperate three ways of education and combine to make a whole life; that manual work needs mental training to make it efficient and at the same time gives to head work accuracy, precision, honesty, and skill; and still further, that the head should be trained to head and hand their devotion, patience, and unselfishness. We have had at Hampton a striking illustration of this effect of industrial education on efficiency. Many of our students are engaged all day in academic work; but some of them are night students, and many are day students with their hands, and entering academic classes in the evening. One might be inclined to think that after the day's work in the shops or fields a student would be less likely to be alert in the schoolroom than he would be to go to sleep there. The fact is, however, that night students would be less likely to study such zest and eagerness, and apply themselves with such accuracy and conscientiousness that the two groups may be fairly graded together in the final tests. In other words, the new education takes the whole of life for its problem, the eyes to see, the hands to shape the body to be the servant to the will, the restraining both the body and the mind. This is but to repeat the great word spoken by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, "it is necessary for a man to be one." SPIRITUALIZATION. There remains the just principle of an education for life. It is the principle of spiritualization. After all, there is but one thing that distinguishes the life of a human being from the life of a dog or field. It is the mysterious fact that, while a beast seems governed by animal desires of hunger or fatigue, and obeys the goad or lash, a human being can outgrow the life of the animal and enter into a world of freedom, beauty and thoughts, its ideals and dreams. To be a bread-wining, hunger-satisfying, browsing, hoarding, killing animal, that is to be in effect an ox, a sheep, a squirrel, or a tiger. To outgrow the beast, to eat the dog, to tiger—and we might add the monkey—die—that is what humanizes animals, and gives a new Ask for No. 0149 z Kings and and $7 KER SH 201 WEST 12 Mr. B. W.

This is what should be called the higher education—the drawing out from the desires of physical life of new destruc of thought, of new ideas of thought, of new industrial education, to lift manual work out of mechanism into a science or an art. One may be a craftsman or a farmer, and yet discover through his work its larger meaning and illumine it by fidelity and idealism. In so far as he attains this vision one becomes educated and plain things beautiful, and material things spiritual. The secret of happiness and contentment in work is for those who have found through their education a way of life. And that, if I may add one further word, is, where the work of education touches the work of religion. For what is religion but the drawing out from the desires of the capacity or concession, "When He came to himself," the New Testament says of one young man he said, "I will arise and go to my Father." The discovery of himself brought him to the rediscovery of God. It had not been himself that away into the far country and was taken to the far country and mockery of himself. He thought he had been seeing life, when he had really been seeing death. His New The New Charleston Stepper! Yorker has again put over the season's big hit.

GARDEN OF SWEETS ATTRACTS MANY New Ice Cream and Confectionery Palace Operated by Colored People. At 2194-A Seventh avenue, between 129th and 130th streets, can be found a most modernly equipped confectionery store, specializing the sale of Philadelphia's famous Breyer's ice cream; also perfumes, face creams and powders, hair tonics. Rouges and cosmetics made to order will no doubt please the most critical. Replacing the old style ice cream boxes is a newly installed electrical Frigidaire. The latest style mahogany furniture, fixtures and artistic decorations make a wonderful drug store impression. Everything is immaculately clean and sanitary with the best of service.—(Advl.) father justly says of him: "This, my son, was dead, and is alive again." Religion also is thus an education for life. It asks of one, not that fragment of life which we call the soul, but the whole of life and the whole at its heat. Holiness is but another name for wholeness. So life is that in which the holy, and so life is that in why that is whole. To offer to God not a part of life, but the whole of it, the body and its chastity, the mind and its thoughts, the will and its restraints—nothing less than this is what religion means. To this the education which is offered to you here opens the way, and in this the religion you need is to be found. Could there be any better way for to celebrate Bounder's day than to dedicate ourselves, in the spirit of the founder, to an education which is not for learning only, but for the enrichments and consecration and fulfilment of life?

CHURCH "A life to be a benediction must help somebody to where they can see unobscured the face of the Father." Thus spoko Dr. Samuel Beane in the course of his sermon Sunday morning, the worshipers at Salem Church, Dr. Beane is pastor of the Hamilton M. E. Church of Los Angeles, Calif., and in this city preparatory to returning to his western charge. His sermon was a strong emphasis of character building and how it is accomplished by Christian service. "I live our lives we build our character," he said. "The things we do and say are the material factors in our character building." He brought out very effectively the beauty of Christian character lived not only for reward to be gained, but simply because it was right. Dr. Beane preached again at the evening services. This time his sermon was a different from the words "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall be also reap." Gal. 6:7 The New York Alumni of Tuskegee Institute held a meeting at the Lyceum at 4 o'clock in memoriam to the founder of Tuskegee, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington.

Victor, the beloved son of Mrs. Sarah Victor, of 17 West 136th street, died Patterson North, H. on last Wednesday morning, April 14, 1926, after a brief illness of six weeks. He was born in New York City 32 years ago, but had lived in Portsmouth for the past nine years, being employed at the Navy Yard there as coppermith. The funeral services were held at Undertaker Mr. Granville O. Paris' beautiful parlor. The Rev. Father Shanley, of St. Benedict's Catholic Church of 53d street, spoke so very beautifully and fittingly over the remains of the deceased; having known Bobble, as he was so fondly called from very early childhood, Father Shanley followed his beautiful life to manhood. Mr. Victor leaves a sweet mother, two sisters, several nieces, nephews and indeed a host of friends, who truly mourn their loss. The family want to thank the many relatives and friends, both the children and the kind remembrances by way of the beautiful flowers, telegrams and other expressions of sympathy.

Room 169 Edgremont 4362 For All The Family "We use Black-Draught in our family of six children and find it a good liver and bowel regulator," says Mrs. C. E. Nutt, of Mineral Springs, Ark. "I have taken it myself in the last two or three years for indigestion. I would feel dizzy, have gas and sour stomach, also feel a thickness in my chest. I'd take a good dose of BLACK-DRAUGHT Liver Medicine when I felt that way, and it would relieve me, and I would feel better for days. "My husband takes it for biliousness. He says he has never found it, tired, heavy feeling, he takes Black-Draught night and morning for a few days and he doesn't complain any more. Sure do recommend Thedford Black-Draught." Your liver is the largest organ in your body. When out of order, it causes many complaints. Put your liver in shape by taking Thedford's Black-Draught.

Harlem's Streets HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED the city appearance presented by Harlem streets and avenues early in the morning after they have been swept off flushed by employees of the street cleaning department and all of refuse removed from them; and we noticed their condition later on in afternoon, littered with paper, as garbage and junk? At such times are inclined to blame the city for performing its duty to its citizens, or remark that because Harlem is populated by Negroes it is indifferent to the well-being. NINE TIMES out of ten you will wrong in such a conclusion, and what more, if you look far enough into matter, you will find that you yourself and not the street cleaning department is responsible. By YOU we mean careless landlord who is indifferent to the external appearance of his property the sidewalk and entrances; the janitor or superintendent to whom these tasks are assigned; the tenant who threatens refuse of all kinds from the widow down the dumbwaiter, making all effort of the landlord and janitor to keep your dwelling place clean and wholesome fruitless; and roving bands of whose idea of fun is to overturn all of garbage or ashes in the street.

At such times you are inclined to blame the city for not performing its duty to its citizens, or to remark that because Harlem is populated by Negroes it is indifferent to their well-being. NINE TIMES out of ten you will be wrong in such a conclusion, and what is more, if you look far enough into the matter, you will find that you yourself, and not the street cleaning department; is responsible. By YOU we mean the careless landlord who is indifferent to the external appearance of his property, the sidewalk and entrances; the janitor or superintendent to whom these tasks are assigned; the tenant who throws refuse of all kinds from the widows or down the dumbwaiter, making all efforts of the landlord and janitor to keep your dwelling place clean and wholesome, fruitless; and roving bands of boys whose idea of fun is to overturn a can of garbage or ashes in the street. HARLEM'S streets of a morning are just as clean as Fifth or Park avenues and they can be kept that way throughout the day with a little care on the part of all of us.

Expressed by Our Contemporaries Negroes of Illinois Have Spoken Senator McKinley of Illinois sustained defeat in the Illinois primaries last Tuesday; and that defeat conveys to the administration a very emphatic warning as to the sentiments of a group of voters whose attitude has long been misinterpreted and disregarded. The powerful influence of the administration was behind the Senator whom Mr. Smith defeated for his place. Negro voters contributed heavily to the votes that swamped the Senator and his administrative hacking. Those Illinois Negroes want executive consideration, not platitudes handed out by the paid "hustlerati." They have tired of those specious promises allowed through syphantic pencil pushers. The Negroes of America are finally placing blame where it belongs, upon the Republican party and its spokesmen. No longer are they swallowing the excuse that badbold Southern Democrats are responsible for the delay and defeat of many pieces of legislation of vital interest to the race. A numble example of this is the way the Coolidge leaders have handled the confirmation of Attorney James A. Cobb for a place on the municipal court. Senator Patrick Harrison (Dem.) of Mississippi asked for a reconsideration after Attorney Cobb had been confirmed. Since Senator Harrison's request was granted, the Republican leaders have done practically nothing to relieve the very embarrassing position in which the race in general, and Attorney Cobb in particular, have been placed. Too often have colored citizens seen the effectiveness of the party whip cracked in the interest of any matter in which the administration was genuinely interested; and too soldom have they heard it crack in their interest. While Illinois is the first, it will not be alone in recording the mind of the Negro and an administration that has too long been indifferent to the race. (From the Baltimore Afro-American.) Hearings' before the Senate Judiciary sub-committee continued this week on bills proposing to modify the Volstead Act. The United States was termed the most lawless nation in the world. A survey of 185 cities showed an increase of arrests reported for 1925. Witnesses declared jurors will not indict while violating the law themselves. Former Judge Alfred Talley of New York testified that his observation from the bench is convincing that the dry laws are the largest factors toward crime. Judge Talley's survey of the murder rate in 77 cities for 1925 is as follows: Population No. Rate per Murders 100,000 Jacksonville 95,450 69 72.3 Memphis 174,533 103 59.0 Birmingham 205,670 112 54.5 Savannah 83,134 37 38.3 New Orleans 414,493 154 37.2 Houston 164,753 45 27.3 Dallas 194,450 53 27.3 Nashville 136,220 38 27.9 Chicago 2,995,238 563 18.8 Pittsburgh 631,563 62 9.8 Philadelphia 1,979,864 192 9.7 Washington 487,906 61 12.3 Baltimore 798,296 61 10.3 New York 5,873,356 374 6.4 Norfolk 227,437 14 6.2 Boston 779,620 24 3.1 Compared with the murder rates in the same cities for 1924 shows that Birmingham, Boston, Memphis, Norfolk and Pittsburgh had fewer murders in 1925, but that the other cities had an increase. Judge Talley's figures were cited to show that murder, the gravest human crime, increased last year due to the liquor law. This is admitted and supported by the figures showing how there were 50 per cent more prisoners in county jails in 1925 than in 1924; 62 per cent more in county penitentiaries and 59 per cent of all prisoners were charged with intoxication. There is something else Judge Talley's figures show. That is the high murder rate in cities of the South. Jacksonville, Memphis, Birmingham, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, New Orleans head the murder rate list. Jacksonville's murder rate is 7 times that of Baltimore, six times that of Washington and 9 times that of Norfolk. It can't be blamed on the Volstead Act. It was so before the liquor laws were passed. It can't be blamed on Negroes. Baltimore, Washington and Norfolk have a nearly equal proportion of Negro and white population. America's high crime rate is caused by failure to enforce the Volstead Act in part, but also by the general disrespect for law which had its beginning when the South demonstrated to the nation it could violate the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution without being called to account by the Federal Government. This is the club held by the North over the head of the South. Says the North: You push the 13th amendment and we'll agitate enforcement of the 14th. There results a deadlock. Neither is properly enforced. The constitution is nullified and crime incessant. Down the bars to liquor and disfranchisement, behind the increase in crime. No part of the constitution is safe as long as any part of it is unsafe. (From the Washington Tribune.) Likker men's Department of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs.

Let us educate him that he may be a better, a broader and more enlightened man, and let us remember this—that whatever wrong we put on him shall return to punish us. Whatever we take from him in violence, that is unworthy and shall not endure. But what we win from him in sympathy and affection, what we afford to his defending allegiance and confirm in his awakening judgment, that is precious and shall endure—and out of it shall come healing and peace." BISHOP CHARLES B. GALLOWAY: "The race problem is no question for small politicians, but for broadminded, patriotic statesmen. All our dealings with these people should be in accord with the teaching ethics of the Man of Gallile. What is best for them now should be the measure of present duty, leaving the future to His hands. Who knows the end from the beginning. And we must insist that the Negro have American citizen to fulfill in himself the highest purposes of an all-wise and beneficient Providence." GOVERNOR CHARLES B. AYCOCK OF NORTH CAROLINA: "The white man in the South can never attain to his fullest growth until he does absolute justice. If he falls to administer equal and exact justice, we shall in the fullness of time lose power ourselves, for we must know that the God, who is love, trusts no people with authority, the purpose of enabling them to do injustice to the weak." GOVERNOR HENRY L. WHITFIELD OF MISSISSIPPI; "We must see to it that at all times the less favored black man shall get a square deal in business relations and in the courts. Weise leaders among Negroes must in their own did efforts to aid their own people, points of agreement between the races must be emphasized and points of friction minimized. Every man and woman in this state must see to it that the laws protecting Negroes in their lives and property are religiously enforced, and that they be the fullest co-operation between the white man and the black to the end that peace and prosperity come to white and black allike."

Good housing, fair treatment, and encouragement for the Negro. We can make and invest investments' we can make for the future." SENATOR JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, OF MISSISSIPI: "I am in favor of giving the Negro absolute equality before the law for the protection of his property, his life, his limbs. He should have every right to law given and there should be no curtailment of that right." GOVERNOR A. W. MCELAN, OF NORTH CAROLINA: "There is no longer a real race problem in the South. It exists only in the minds of those, white and colored, who are seeking selfish advancement, who are trying to intimidate others, and have no better weapon than the cowardly appeal to racial prejudice and racial antipathy. In North Carolina and other parts of the South, white folk are coming to a proper appraisal of the Negro's part in our growth. We are acknowledging his worth as a citizen, his spirit of co-operation, and his vital contribution to our industrial progress." ASSOCIATE JUSTICE J. G. MGOWEN, OF THE MISSISSIPPI SUPREME CT.: "I am unalterably opposed to lynching and mob violence. It was a mob that killed Jesus of Nazareth. It was a mob that stoned Stephen to death. It was a mob that boat up the Apostle Paul. Many another innocent man has lost his life at the hands of a savage, lawless mob.

When a human being is lynched the law is lynched and civilized government is set at naught.

Keeping Fit-:- By R. ELLIOTT RAWLIN & M.D. "As You Sow, so Shall Ye Reap" THREE years of married life have passed and George Easton and his wife, Evelyn, have not been blessed with a child. He has become prosperous and owns a beautiful home. His wife is charming. He has a splendid position with sure prospects for advancement. His desire for a baby in his home has been enhanced. His friends are wondering; his relatives are asking pointed questions as to the prospects for their heir; time is going; the situation is becoming tense. Evelyn loves her husband very much and hopes that his "heart's desire" will be gratified. She therefore consented to see a medical specialist about the matter and was thoroughly examined by him. The situation became more perplexing. The specialist stated that she was normal and that there was no apparent reason why she could not become a mother. He advised her to have her husband call to see him—for the "trouble" may rest with him. George Easton thought it ridiculous and spurned the request of the physician. Evelyn, however, became insistent and after much coaxing, persuaded her husband to have the required examination. He knew it was a waste of time and unnecessary, but to please her (for he loved her very much) he went. After a careful examination and a very definite and complete history of previous sickness and disease, the specialist came to the conclusion that he was absolutely sterile and could never hope to be a father.

Aunt Mahaly, the old witch, appears at the last with her goblins, and the criminal is frightened to death. It would be a most entertaining play to stage, with its queer lights and its uncanny creatures, but it would take a Gilpin to do the chief part. I have reviewed "In Aunt Mahaly's Cabin" partly to speak of this playwright. Paul Green, a white man of North Carolina, who has been for some time writing of the Negro. His play, "The No Count Boy," which won first prize at the Belasco Little Theatre tournament last year, is perhaps his best piece of work. It deplays the dreamy, lovable country boy, who longs to see something beyond his every day life, and who finds a kindred spirit in a young colored girl he chances to meet. In contrast to the two is an up-and-coming prosperous young colored farmer. The play was acted by the Houston, Texas, players and no colored people could have performed it with more sympathetic insight. French also publishes this play, though not in a volume by itself. A third play is "The Man Who Died at Four o'Clock," a bright bit of comedy, also in one of French's volumes. I am continually asked for the names of plays about colored people, and sometimes specifically, plays by colored people. As yet there are very few. When the Little Theatre movement gets a hold among the Negroes as it has among the whites, probably plays will be forthcoming. Thus far, Paul Green stands.
