FIVE ATTEMPT SUICIDE VOL. XVIII. NO. 13. Published Every Wednesday by The Amsterdam News (a corporation). 2293 7th Ave. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 23, 1927 Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1995, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1970. SECTION ONE HUSBAND FINDS WIFE WITH FELLOW MUSICIAN American Federation of Labor COLORED workers the country over, who feel the need of closed ranks, whereby ebbing wages and other unsatisfactory conditions of labor may be raised to better standards, are beginning to question the good faith of the American Federation of Labor in its yearly pronunciamentos that the Negro is welcome to full communion at the table of the organized labor of America. The skepticism of the racial labor bloc is due to the continuation of denied apprenticeship, and the further denial of full privileges to those locals which pay financial homage to the A. F. of it, but which do not receive a full round-trip ticket for their affiliation with the parent body. Apprenticeships for Negro youth are as hard to secure as ever, and the spirit of full affiliation is as much like the rainbow's end as ever before. Too, the policy of effecting organization only where groups of Negro workmen around is a false platform upon which to essay to protect labor by organized methods. Real honesty-to-goodness organization knows no limitations by population; nor does it spend shipless nights trying to keep the "sheep" away from the poors. It is not strange then that a few Negroes, disappointed over the never-maturing promises of the American Federation of Labor, have been flirting with the Bolsheviks, the Reds and the Third Internationale. We speak sincerely and with a vision which is looking from the inside outward. We are frank in our view, for we hold an A. P. of L. membership card, which is only recognized in restricted fields. If organized labor is ever to raise its head to the level of organized capital, it must be in concert, not in broken groups. Hence, the American Federation of Labor must do more than make promises. Yeah, it must veritably practice what it preaches. Orange High Student Kills Self Orange High Student Kills Self Anthony J. Davis, 17, 143 Central place, Orange, a student in Central High School, committed suicide on February 15 at his residence by turning on the gas. The body was discovered by his mother about 2 p.m. Despondency and tumors referring to a girl appear to have been the cause. Notes of endearment were left by the son to his mother. The body was taken to Atlanta, Ga., for burial Friday. He is survived by a mother, father, sister and aunt. Cop, for Some Reason, Hit Singing Workman Taswol Saunders, 24, a truck driver for the Westchester Wholesale Grocery Company, 287 Brooks avenue, and both eyes hurt and his nose was smashed by Patrolman George Palony of the Alexander avenue station last Tuesday. Saunders, who has worked for the company for a year, always sang while he worked. The patrolman, it is alleged, ordered him to stop singing that day, and because he didn't a battle followed. The wounded man was treated at the Lincoln Hospital and later arrested by the policeman on a disorderly conduct charge. The explanation of the two parishes, given in the Night Court before the Judge as to cause of the boat, differed greatly. The case comes up for rehearing today. Saunders lives at 135 West 138th street. CORRECTIONS The Rt. T. S. Harten, pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, was an original sponsor and a member of the delegation which presented a petition to President Clinton last week, urging him to support the immediate passage of a Federal anti-lynching bill. His name was inadvertently omitted in the report in last week's issue. WHEREVER POSSIBLE Trade With Stores In Harlem Who Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees Help "Break the Bonds" of Economic Slavery EDWIN STEVENS, GRADUATE OF FISK CONSERVATORY LEADS RAIDING PARTY TO ST. NICHOLAS AVENUE APT.; MATE SURPRISED WITH MAN Following Mrs. Stevens' Hasty Disappearance, Letters Were Received From Her From Nashville, Where She Has Relatives. Edwin (Steve) Stevens and a raiding party, consisting of three friends and two private detectives, surprised Mrs. Marie Stevens, wife of the first named, in the apartment of George Scott, 742 St. Nicholas avenue, on a recent Friday night, according to a more recent report. The husband and Scott, both of whom are musicians, are said to have been friends so much so that Scott boarded in the home of the Stevens, at No. 772 St. Nicholas avenue. Scott is a widower. How long the alleged clandestine love affair had been going on the husband says he does not know. His suspicions, he said, were not aroused until after Dec. 11, 1926, on which day a lovely, though belated, Christmas present arrived from Mr. Stevens to his wife. Subsequently she disappeared, leaving no word whatsoever of her whereabouts, but taking $50 belonging to her husband he states. Letters began arriving from Nashville, Tenn., the home of the married couple, saying that Mrs. Stevens was home, safe and having a good time. The date of the letter and the stamped postmark aroused suspicion. With diligence Stevens says he discovered that certain articles from a woman's wardrobe were in the Scott apartment, and what was disconnecting to him, that they were similar to those worn by his wife. The caiding party pushed into the apartment at the summons of a fake "messenger." Scott, who came to the door, offered slight resistance, members of the party claim. Mr. Stevens knew the apartment layout and led the party into the bedroom of Scott. Mrs. Stevens was found fast asleep in a double bed. Her clothing, as well as Scott's, were carelessly thrown on chairs in the room, so the story goes. The Stevens were married in the city of Baltimore in 1921. Mr. Stevens, a graduate of the Fisk University Conservatory of Music, is the artist at the Odeon moving picture theatre in West 11th street. Mrs. Stevens is a Nashville girl and is said to have been the childhood sweetheart of her husband. DETECTIVES DIVORCEN, INVESTIGATIONS, Ete.

Ask your newsdealer --- He knows Alleged to Have Overcharged Woman Who Furnished Cash Bail Testimony given before Magistrate Silberman yesterday involved Chauncey Hyland and William B. Hewlett of the H. & H. Bonding Company of No. 169 West 130th street. Both have an extensive bail bond business in criminal courts. The testimony was given in the case of Rose Smith in Women's Court on Feb. 11. She told of asking the Police Lieutenant at the West 135th street station about bail when she was arrested the day before, and the Lieutenant had said she could get bail if she had $500. When she said she had the money Hyland came in to see her. Hyland, she testified, told her the bond would cost her $55. The legal maximum is 3 per cent, which would be $15. She agreed to give him $555 the next day and he bailed her out. The next day, the woman testified, she went to Hyland's office, a few doors from the station house, and there met Hewlett, signed a bond and arranged to turn over her bankbook containing savings deposits of $1,753. She was given a receipt for the bankbook, which also contained the notation that $500 was to be withdrawn as security on the ball bond for her appearance. The bankbook was locked in their safe. She said she also had to sign two blank checks, and on asking why, one of the men said: "Just in case I apoll one." Later, she testified, they went to the bank, where she withdrew $50 and gave that and $5 to the man. Magistrate Silberstein forced the return of the bankbook and the $55. Police Commissioner McLaughlin and District Attorney Banton are also interested in the investigation. 140-6 West 137th St. Rev. J. W.

She was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where the bullet was removed Friday. Her condition is much improved. The bone in her arm was shattered. Although still confined at the hospital she was permitted to leave her bed Monday afternoon. According to reports, Mrs. Ramsey was passing on the north side of the street and three policemen were talking on the opposite side. One of the policeman leaned over an injured dog that had been run down by an auto and fired. The bullet struck Mrs. Ramsey. Mrs. Ramsey is the wife of William A. Ramsey, a well known performer. Gruesome Murder in West 143rd St. Man Brutally Cut With Knife Dies in Hall way of House Cut to death. Arthur Adams, 40, 152. West 142rd street, died in the hallway of his home Saturday. Blood splattered on the wall, and a large blood spot on the floor of the vestibule still marks the place where Adams breathed his last. According to reports. Adams was hacked with a long knife by Thomas Jones, assistant janitor of the above address. It is said that several men were engaged in a little game of cards in the rear rooms used by the janitor on the first floor. An argument over money started a fight and Adams was attacked. He evidently attempted to run through the long hall to the street to summon aid, but as he came within a few paces from the outside door he dropped. Several of the men came out and carried Adams to his apartment and laid him on the floor where he died. At the time of this writing Detectives Tilney and Ross are looking for Jones.

White Fox Terrier Skids Into Excavation Elated over the fact that he was going to get an airing after being pent up in an apartment all day, a white fox terrier dog ran far ahead of his master and tumbled 25 feet into the subway excavation at 140th street and St. Nicholas avenue Sunday night. Due to the sleet and rain the streets were very slippery. The little fellow attempted to slacken his speed as he neared the opening, but unfortunately he slid underneath the rolling into the bottom of the pit. The owner refused to divulge his identity to The Amsterdam News reporter who was on the scene at the time. Dead Infant Left on Elevated Train A dead male infant, about 2 days old, was found on an elevated train wrapped in a shawl at the 155th street and Eighth avenue station, Friday night. Conductor John Sweeney noticed the bundle sitting in the corner of his car. As this station is the termination of the train's run, everybody left the car. Sweeney attempted to call back several of the women passengers to inquire if they had left the bundle, but it was not claimed. Upon investigation it was learned the package contained the dead body of an infant. It was pronounced dead by Dr. Cohen of Harlem hospital who was summoned to the station. -- SUNDAY -- 8 P.M.

SILVER FURNITURE CO 525 LENOX AVE. nr.136^St. TWO (Continued from Page 1.) ing held in the Prince Hall Temple, 155th street and Eighth avenue, last Tuesday night. The temple, which was to have been built on West 144th street at a cost of nearly $600,000, was a child of the present grand master's brain and was started about one year ago. The lots upon which the skeleton of the building now stands are owned free and clear by the craft and represent a pretty sum. To date there has been paid to the contractors $80,000 in money obtained from the sale of mortgage bonds to members. Thus a financial loss to the Prince Hall Masons in this state of more than $100,000 is imminent unless they can raise some money in the brief space of thirty days from the date of the meeting that the ultimatum was issued. Feb. 15. $1 A WEEK PLAN. At the meeting, which was called by Grand Master Joseph Sullivan of Troy, N. Y., there were present every master of the local lodges together with the past masters, wardens, secretaries and the board of directors of the Prince Hall Temple and home association, together with the other grand lodge officers, with Sullivan presiding. Business was quickly gone into and the flat failure of the craft to meet their obligations to the builders was at once taken up. Then it was decided that each member of the F. and A. M. fraternity in New York State would be asked to contribute $1 per week upon a $100 6 per cent interest participating mortgage bond on the building There are between 4,000 and 5,000 Masons in the state, and if a substantial number of the craft respond to this plan it is believed that the project will be saved for the race. Considerable enthusiasm was shown over the $1 a week plan and the only objection raised was by Cornelius Hughes, who stubbornly opposed any project having to do with the erection of the present temple as started. The Rev. Charles Martin, pastor of the Moravian Church in Harlem, was enthusiastic for the adoption of the plan and chided Hughes for his objections. TEMPLE PLAN SOUND. Originally, the Prince Hall Tem- ple and home association, the board of directors of whom are Oscar R. Cassell, chairman; W. C. Carr, secretary; George W. Lockett, treasurer; Mrs. Alice Campbell and Messrs. Jerome P. Ottley. Charles Thorpe, Wade and Simmons, had planned to erect a Masonic temple at a cost of $250,000. The association, which is incorporated, had to be formed owing to the impossibility of general incorporation as Masons under the fraternal laws of New York State, which permit whites only to incorporate as such After the death of former Grand Master David W. Parker, the controlling influence of the association was turned over to the new grand master. Joseph Sullivan, who at once contended for a bigger and better temple, which would be something for posterity. His idea prevailed and instead of the less expensive structure the $500,000 venture was launched; and not more than $10,000 was paid in by members on the bonds. The plan, however, was sound since the bonds, which are to be sold only to members, are guaranteed 6 per cent mortgage bonds, constituting a second mortgage on the building for $350,000. With the payment of $20,000 already, a first mortgage of only $100,000 would have to be obtained. Thus each member purchasing a bond becomes a participant in the profits of the building and it was estimated that 2,500 members would easily be secured to pay in their $100, but for some reason the members have failed signally to respond. FAMOUS EDICT SOFTENED The failure of the members to respond caused the grand master to issue an edict last October in which he said that unless each member paid $100 for a bond within 90 days the member would cease to belong to the craft. Had this edict been enforced an almost total disruption of the order would have occurred in the state, so few were those who responded to it. Hence, the grand master decided to take no cognizance of his own edict, but to put all of his energy into the new $1 a week plan, one that seems already to have taken with Prince Hall Masons, especially here in this city. Within the next few weeks it will be known whether another colossal financial failure will be charged to the Negro race or whether they will rally and put through something that will remain forever a monument to the wisdom and far-sightedness of colored people in general and to the Masonic fraternity in New York State in particular.

On Friday night the Howells had made preparations for entertaining several out-of-town guests in their palatial apartment. In early evening, about 7 o'clock, many of the guests had arrived. The air was filled with music and laughter, and all were revelling in merriment. Suddenly, Mrs. Howell is said to have gone into another room and called her husband. There was a most peculiar expression upon her face. Her slender body trembled, and her glaring eyes depicted the agony she was suffering from within. "Fitz," she said in whispered tones. "I've taken poison."

White Hempstead Slayer Sentenced Mother-in-Law Threatened to Tell of His Mu= MINEOLA, L. I. Feb. 21. Harold F. Webster, who was convicted last week of murder in the second degree for killing his mother-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Gallaway, at Kiempsiend on Jan. 3 with an iron bar, was sentenced here today by County Judge Lewis H. Smith to serve from twenty years to life in Sing Sing Prison. The slain woman, Webster said in his confession, threatened to tell his wife that his father was a mulatto, and this he gave as one of the reasons for their strained relations. Webster, 24 years old, whose son, 13 months old, was asleep in the house of his brother-in-law, Dell C. Bassett, when he killed Mrs. Galloway, announced through his lawyer, George W. Copeland, after sentence that he still loved his wife, although he had little hope of ever winning her back, and intended to try to make himself deserving of their son. Mrs. Blanche Galloway Webster, the wife, issued a written statement a few minutes later bitterly denouncing him and the jury, whom she called "weak minded," and his lawyers, whom she called "professional perverters of truth." Her lawyers said she planned to start suit for divorce and for the return of her maiden name. All of the principals in the case are white. SENT TO WORKHOUSE.

This system of morality, he said, had been broken down by the coming in of Christianity and its substitution with white man's law. "English schools and Christianity," he said, "made them ape Europeans and lose respect for their own ways." THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE. EIGHT Rulership, he said, was handed down through descent from the male line, and failing that the female. The highest moral character and physical bravery are demanded from the chief, who is selected by the heads of the tribe. Over the chief is the paramount chief. The real titles, explained Nana Amoah, are king and paramount king, but chief was substituted since the former title conflicts with that of the King of England, of whom the people of the Gold Coast are subjects. The penalty for any cowardice, theft, adultery, and other similar shortcomings on the part of the chief was death. He explained that on his first visit to America the papers had carried the tale that he was a fake, and on his return he was compelled to appear before the council of chiefs and give an account of himself. There was nothing despicable about the African chief, he explained. While the title "king" means "majesty" the title "Nana" means "grandfather." That is "thinking black." Of Dr. Wilmot Blyden he said, "Dr. Blyden was thinking white and was white with the white men. Men like him can't think for the aboriginal native." "The native African." he said, "delights to hear of any achieve- Best For Weak Back Best For Weak Back Are you suffering from the misery of a knee, aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes and supports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately. Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's, the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red dammed back. ments by American Negroes, because he regards them as kinsmen." The American Negro, he thought, was too satisfied with conditions here, and he said that he looked forward to the time when the American Negro would send over his doctors and scientists to help develop Africa, which he said was now far from being independent politically. Prior to the coming of the white people, he said that the native African had a church in every home, that is, he had a stone image in his home, through which he prayed to Nyami, or "The Friend Who Never Falls." The Christian missionary, he said, made the natives discard these images, and substitute a mental one; that is, they were told to pray to God direct. Christianity, he said, could succeed in Africa only by doing what was right, as the native African has a strong sense of right and wrong, and is quick in detecting hypocrisy. The African, he said, in his simple ways, did not preach one thing and do another as the average Christian. Chief Nana Amoaol 111 was elected in 1912, and due to his absence in England, where he was engaged in business, was not installed until 1919, notice of this being carried in the official gazette of the British Government. He is interested in the cocoa business, of which he says the Gold Coast produces 70 per cent of the world's output. The chief was dressed in a flowing robe of a material resembling cloth of gold, hand-woven, and which it is said took several years to make. The chief, who was educated on the Gold Coast, evinced by his address that he is of fine intelligence and has a keen understanding of human nature. Several questions were put to him regarding the Garvey movement, of which he promised to say something in another address to be given at the library.

You May Judge This Letter I should like to state briefly a few of the many things I dislike, abhor, and positively hate, in The Amsterdam News. 1. No Negro paper that prints nothing of the important happenings in Mexico, in China, in India, in Nicaragua, is worth being called a newspaper. Buy a copy of the New York, Times, or the New York American, or The World any day in the week, and what do we find? Big headlines-describing events in the above-mentioned places, especially at the present time, in China. Or take important weeklies like the Literary Digest, and I tell you what you will find—seven out of every ten pages are devoted to foreign news. 2. One wonders if editors of Negro newspapers like The Amsterdam News would be able to point out Canton, Shanghai, Veru Cruz, Bluefields or the Punjab on a map. I am referring to the editors; the poor simple-minded, hee-haw, two-footed asses who buy and read these papers cannot be reasonably expected to know geography. 3. Mr. Editor, what is responsible for the care-free, easygoing, absent-minded, illiterate. Cheshirecat Negro who darkens the street corners of Harlem, and packs its multitudinous cabarets, dance halls and speakeasies, if not the Negro publications like The Amsterdam News; publications that never tire of showing him how to spee the white man, to the extent of whitening—no longer lightening—his dark skin and straightening his kinky hair. 4. Am I to understand that the time will never come when the Negro press, like the press of other oppressed peoples the world over, will assume the responsibility of feeding the minds of the people on something other than the childish literary trash with which it now abounds? Would to God the time would soon come when it will take even passing interest in and enlist their sympathies with other peoples with whom we have interests in common. 5.

These are unique, they deal with the problems fundamental in our community life, treating them in a way that they cannot only be understood, but cannot be misunderstood. Harlem owes The Amsterdam News a debt of deep gratitude. From Office Boy to Bank Solicitor Robert P. Braddicks Wins Further Promotion With State Bank From office boy to solicitor is a short ac- count of Robert P. Braddick's connections with the State Bank of this city. Through twenty- two years of ser- vice, Mr. Braddick's, who lives at 225 West 138th street, has Robt. Braddleks. PETER H. worked his way to the office of solicitor for the Fifth Avenue branch, at 115th street, having been appointed January 1. He is the only Negro holding such a position with any of the fourteen branches in three boroughs. It was at his suggestion that he was sent out last year to work up the Christmas savings accounts of the main office at 374 Grand street. Within a short period he had added 147 new accounts with deposits of $30,000. On the first of the year he was transferred to the Fifth avenue office, where he is now stationed. The State Bank' resources are over $130,000,000. Mr. Braddicks is married and has four children, the oldest of whom are in high school. He is a native New Yorker. 214 West 146th street, New York City. February 12, 1927. Editorial Department. The Amsterdam News. Gentlemen: Executive Secretary. New York Urban League. February 11, 1957. SECOND SECTION Victory Life Sells Policies in N. Y. First Negro Company to Receive License in This State Victory Life Insurance Company has qualified to operate in New York. The application for a license to operate in New York State was filed about a year ago. During this period of time the company were subjected to a rigid examination by the New-York Insurance Department and successfully met every requirement of what is regarded as the strictest and most technical insurance department in the world. This achievement is one of the most outstanding events in the history of the Negro in commercial life: The full significance of this achievement can better be appreciated when it is realized that since the Armstrong investigation in 1905 the insurance laws of New York have been the most stringent of any state, insuring the utmost economy in management, absolute protection to policyholders, and a fair return to stockholders. Quoting from an article by J. Garland Wood we find that "only four life insurance companies have been able to qualify for the state within the last twenty years.

In addition to the smoothness of the continuity and the excellence of the entertainment, there is the lovely Jacqueline Logan in the leading role. Never have her histrionic abilities been displayed to a better advantage than in this picture opus. From the very start when she is discovered in a spirited game of a foursome in tennis, until she is safe in the arms of her stalwart sweetheart, Miss Logan gives an unblemished performance carrying the audience with her throughout. The same can be said of Robert Frazer, the other featured player. The story tells of a gay and carefree young society - girl who is athletically inclined and tests out one of her society friends by giving him a thrilling automobile ride. She accepts, him reluctantly after she has made the pact. Later she goes to one of the engineering jobs sponsored by her father and there meets a dashing young engineer. He makes her obey his camp rules and then starts a clash of wills. She bets that he will be humbled and she starts to flirt with him. The game becomes dangerous and she finds herself falling in love with the hero. He later discovers that he has been the butt of a joke and takes things into his own hands. After many thrilling episodes the couple both find that they are meant for one another. The rest of the cast, including Montagu Love, Mildred Harris, Taylor Holmes, Duane Thompson, Hazel Keener, William Austin, Henry Sedley and Billy Bletcher, are all excellently cast. The picture was more than ably directed by Robert Florey from the story by Leete Renick Brown. Ed.

NATIONAL TITLE MEET HERE NATIONAL TITLE MEET HERE Amateur Athletic Union National Indoor Track and Field Champs The Amateur Athletic Union national indoor track and field championships will be held at Madison Square Garden, New York City, on Monday evening, February 28. This announcement was made last week by Edwin F. Schaefer, chairman of the Amateur Athletic Union National Track and Field Committee. The 1927 meet was originally awarded to Detroit, but the arena in which it was scheduled to be held will not be completed for some time and, there being no other suitable arena in Detroit, the meet was turned back to the National Track and Field Committee. Buffalo, Chicago and New York immediately filed applications for permission to stage the championships in their respective cities. A vote was taken by mail which resulted in the award going to New York. The meet will be held under the joint auspices of the Sports and Press Bay Committees of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the Amateur Athletic Union; the proceeds will be turned into the fund being raised to build the Sports and Press Bays in the Cathedral. The events which comprise the championship program are: 60, 200, 1,000 yards and two-mile runs, one-mile walk, running high jump, standing broad jump, standing high jump, pole vault, putting 16-pound shot, 70-yard high hurdles, two-mile steeplechase and medley relay. Edvin Wide of Sweden, conqueror of Paavo Nurmi of Finland, will compete. It will be his first appearance in New York. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

President Lincoln Refused 12 Elephants When Abraham Lincoln was President, the King of Siam offered to present the United States with a herd of twelve elephants. In a letter to the King, President Lincoln refused the offer. The letter dated February 3, 1863, only recently made public, follows: "I appreciate most highly Your Majesty's tenders of good offices in forwarding to this government a stock from which a supply of elephants might be used on our own soil. "This government would not hesitate to avail itself of so generous an offer if the object were one which could be made practically useful in the present condition of the United States. Our political jurisdiction, however, does not reach a latitude so low as to favor the multiplication of the elephants, and steam on land, as well as on water, has been our best and most efficient means of transportation in internal commerce."

COLLEGE MEN TUSSLE HARD Brilliant Clash Between Howard and Omega Witnessed by Enthusiastic Crowd BY THOMAS W. YOUNG. Fourteen seconds remained. The score was Howard, 22; Omega, 21. The ball was passed to "Bob" Payne near the sideline about midway of the court. Cries of "shoot, shoot!" A quick glance around and foiled "Bob" hoisted the twirling sphere into the air. It soared nearer the ceiling. A large crowd of sprited onlookers clustered in the Renaissance Casino Monday night gasped breathless. The ball descended and swooped clear of backboard or rim into the network of twine that hung there as the goal. The house went into an uproar. A great game had been won for Omega's basketball team by this one shot when less than a quarter of a minute remained. The count was 23 to 22 in favor of the frat clan. After the customary, period of argumentation following, such a crucial play, the game was re- BENEFIT The Popular "Brown S of Peter Jac ter Jack From Paris, London, Berlin, Australia, the West Indies performers and others write in to the Amsterdam News, to say nothing of the news which comes to us from all over the United States. Without the embellishments which savor of nationalism we have relayed such our overseas day. The Amsterdam News enjoys a place in the hearts of the people which, try as they will, no other publication can usurp. In the above picture is shown Australia's contribution to the memory of Peter Jackson, a colored man who became the greatest fighter of all time. The picture was sent to us by "Buddy" Saunders, who is seen with camera in his hand, a fighter well known in the tide, but the brave and faithful Children of the Oracle clung tenaciously to the ball, "Stretch" Grant, the lanky pilot man, who leads the Omega boys into battle, was obviously overcome by the spirit of victory. When Howard was attempting to recover the ball in a final bid for victory the devout son of the Oracle fell upon it as a lion leaps upon its prey and covered it in a fashion after a fumbled football. The sphere was jumped, and again Grant crushed down upon it and nestled upon it on the floor for several seconds. After the waistle ended the affair while he was thus cuddling the ball, all the Omega boys pushed out upon the floor to par Grant upon the back for his gallant deed. And now, for all Howard cares "Bob" Payne can go and commit suicide, or retreat into oblivion on the smallest Arctic isle if he prefers. But don't let his face be seen against the blue and white again. And so can Rlp Day, the brother of Bouchet Day, who was summoned from Lincoln University to aid in the defense. And by all means, so can "Stretch" Grant. And so can McCoy and McNichols, the Americans with Irish names. The game was one of those close affairs that happen once or twice a season. The score was knotted four times. Seven times Omega was out in front, and five times Howard held the lead. At half time the score was 12 all. Near the first of the game Omega ran up a lead of 8-3.

The earnestness with which the men will engage in this contest will prove that they are just as anxious to hang a defeat on each other as any two professional teams in this country. J. C. Reid is manager, with Herman Seaton as assistant, for the Wolverines, and we hope we are making no unwittily disclosures when we say that these two wily leaders have been soft-shooting it around here for the past few weeks, putting their men through secret practice and wearing smiles a yard long, as if in anticipation of a killing next Monday night at the Renaissance Casino, when the teams meet to settle the dispute of supremacy between the two. The proceeds of the game, which is being staged under the auspices of Joint Attendants' Athletic Association of both stations, will be used to foster athletics among the Red Caps of the two stations, and we can think of no more worthy cause for which the boys can stage such an attraction. The teams are composed of college men who are working their way through college and number many basketball stars in their lineup. On the Wolverines we note such players as M. Work; Fisk; R. Clopton; Howard; J. McDowell; Howard; C. Hines; Morgan; E. Smith; Lansing; J. Brown; Lincoln; A. Napoleon, formerly of St. Christopher; J. Battle; Morgan, and A. Coleman of Textile. There will be a preliminary, which will bring together the V. W. C. A. quintet and the Lincoln Hospital Onyx Club. Of course, with the young ladies battling just as hard for supremacy as the young men, we can positively promise an interesting evening, which WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY WHITENS AND CLEARS YOUR SKIN AFTER A FEW TREATMENTS Mason, Freckles, Blackheads, Muddiness, Tan, Pimples, Sallowness, Blotches and all Blemishes by this wonderful new scientific treatment, which positively clears and whitens your skin after a few nights' treatment.

MORGANITES WHIP HOWARD Crowd Swarms on the Court and Almost Prevented Teams Playing BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 18. Playing its second game of basketball for this season with Morgan College, the quintet representing Howard University (Washington, D. C.) was defeated by the score 27-13 at the New Albert Auditorium, Baltimore, Md., Friday evening, Feb. 18. Getting off to a good start, Howard had scored three points before Morgan could size up the situation. Finally hitting her stride, Morgan tied the score three all. Both teams were playing real basketball but were somewhat handcapped by the tremendous crowd which swarmed the playing court. Hill for Morgan started the scoring in the second half and his team mates were soon leading by a comfortable margin. Morgan made some substitutions at this point and Coach Burr, making a hurried estimation of the situation, sent Washington in for Spears and Woods for Coates. Coach Drew of Morgan, with but eight minutes to go, sent his other regulars back in, with hopes of piling up a large score, but the Howardites would not let up and the game ended 27-13. The Howard Freshmen were defeated by Douglass High in the preliminary by the score 14-10. MORGAN | HOWARD. G.F. G.F.

In the absence of evidence of dry rot, lack of confidence in its leaders, dying of lethargy and insufficiency, with not a thing to justify its existence, they quickly restored confidence in the rank and file by showing that they possessed the ability to command the co-operation of the tennis players and fans and of leading the association. The association had been allowed to sink during the former administration. Chief among some of the many progressive achievements of the 1926 season should be listed the following: (a) Successful state tournament in the history of tennis in the Empire State. (b) A dance held at the Savoy that actually made money for the association. (c) Two banquets, one to visiting players entered in the state tourney, the national Champion Eyre Salah, both of which were brilliant successes.

Lots more can be said of the officers just re-elected, but at some future time the fans will be made acquainted with the rest. LINCOLN TEAM FALLS BATTLING Jersey Schoolboys Upset Dope by 25-20 Victory Over Lincoln BORDENTOWN, N. J., Feb. 16. Scorning athletic tradition and ruthlessly upsetting the basketball dope, a fighting, flashing Bordentown School five sent the basketball team of Lincoln University down to a thrilling defeat here tonight by a 25-20 score. A large crowd of visitors from New Jersey and Pennsylvania attended the contest which was well advertised in this section. Looking upon the "prep school five" as easy victims after their recent victory over the Philadelphia Scholastics, the Pennsylvania collegians were over-confident at the opening of the game. They soon found themselves with their back against the wall when Bordentown ran up a 5-0 lead in the first few minutes and ended the first half at the better end of a 12-4 figure. A determined drive by Lincoln at the opening of the second half brought the score up to 12-10 before Bordentown again got loose. From then on the battle was nip and tuck, with first one team and the other making a bid for the lead. Grasping a five point lead, the Jerseyites began to "freeze" the hall with four minutes to go. The two teams gave a beautiful exhibition of passing and guarding that kept the spectators in a freaky of excitement. With the timekeeper's whistle for the end of the game, hysterical seized the Bordentown rooters. The crowd swarmed out on the floor, hoisted its team to its shoulders, and marched about the floor chanting a rooting song. Brilliant in defeat was Old Lincoln. From the start of the game her sons fought gamely to overcome the lead their opponents had gained, contending as much for the traditional collegian prestige as for the actual victory. Ike Young and Carpenter carried the brunt of battle, scoring five points each and keeping the hall in Bordentown's territory during the second half. The drbbling of Weatherless and Cooper was a feature of the game, but met a stone wall in the famous Bordentown five man defense. Coach Granger's charges flashed their usual swift passing attack, with Russ and Neale doing most of the scoring. The former used his six foot three inches to tremendous advantage at forward, getting the tap-off from center and passing to Neale under the basket. Captain McCann was all over the floor like a veritable hurricans, his aggressive play being responsible for four personal fouls that took him out of the game in the last quarter. Silvera, the Lincoln speedy forward, found blimself blanketed by Spruel, lanky guard . NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. FEB. 23. 1927 1. Mrs. E. Leonard 2. Mrs. A. Alston 3. Mrs. F. Cittens 4.

HARLEM BIG FIVE STOPPED Seashore Passers Handicapped by Weight, but Made Good ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Feb. 20. —The Buccaneers topped the Harlem Big Five 24-32 at Waltz Dream, Thursday night. The seashore passers were handicapped by the weight and height of the New Yorkers, but their fishing spirit brought them from behind to win a popular victory. The Harlemites gave a dazzling exhibition of field goal shooting but were poor from the foul mark. Moten, Grant and Hubbard made startling shots, but the Bucs held them even from the field, thirteen apiece. Stanfield held Grant even, each man getting a quartet of field and foul goals. Specs Moten got away for a quartet of twin pointers, and Hubbard and Waddel for a duo each. It was Wills, a substitute forward, who turned the trick for the Bucs. Trailing 29-21 went in for Brooks and his four rapid goals with points from "Pickles" Howard giving them a lead which they held until the final whistle. At half-time Harlem led 12-10. A spurt in the second half put the "Bucks" ahead 18-14, but Grant, Hubbard and Moten threatened to make it a runaway, taking their club to a 29-21 lead. At this point Wills stemmed the tide, and the "Bucks" defense held until the end. BUCCA (31) HILTON (31) HILTON HARLEM Brooks. K. Moten Howard. K. Waddell Stanfield. G. Grant Green. G. Harlem Green.

Textile High School, playing three regulars and two substitutes, proved to be too much for the Y. M. D. quintet of the West 133th street branch Y. M. C. A., and by staging an effective second half of offensive drive, won by a 24 to 12 count in the Y. gym Saturday night. The Y boys, disadvantaged by the superior height of their adversaries, held on to a smaller end of the 14:20 half-time count. When the latter period got under way the Textile faction was unstoppable, hoisting baskets, from all distances and at various angles. One of the subs, Scott, proved to be the hero of the night. Although playing guard, he advanced within the shooting territory on frequent occasions. The result was five goals from the floor and two from the 15-foot line. This turned out to be the best shooting performance of the evening. Livingston was another star for the victors. Besides playing a brilliant all-round courtship, he scored seven points. "Dubber" Reese was the verset tie for the Association clan. His court work was aided by three baskets. Adams, Waldoft and Mar- shall each managed to get one basket, but the close guarding of Steele, Bailey and Livingston kept the Y. M. D. scorers inactive. METRO DIAMONDS DEFEAT MOHAWK Those preliminary contests up at the Renaissance Casino every Sunday evening are of more interest than is apparent to the older fans witnessing the games. Those youngsters are all bet up over these contests and we would no more think of allowing The Amsterdam News to come out without an account of these games than to attempt to climb the Brooklyn Bridge from the middle of the East River. Last Sunday night those Metro Diamonds you have been reading so much about hung a ten-point defeat on the boys of the Mohawk Club when they breezed in under the wire victors by a score of 37-7. We do not know who will be playing the coming Sunday night in the preliminary, but you can rest assured that you'll find an account of the contest in these columns, for we have got to help the youngsters keep their record straight CHILDREN OF ORACLE WISER CHILDREN OF ORACLE WISER "Bob" Payne Outstanding Star and Piled up Eight Points BY THOMAS W. YOUNG. The Five Alumni Basketeers of the West 135th street Y. M. C. A. drank deeply of the wine of revenge last Wednesday night in their second tussle with the Children of the Oracle. It was during December that the Omega team in a last minute spurt forged ahead of the Association boys to win on a four-point margin. But Wednesday a different tale was told. Alumni pilled up points enough to take an easy win at 34-9. As soon as the ball had been passed around a new times, the winners showed that it was to be their night by running up a big lead. George Gregory, versetile and the limbed center, and "Squak" Milleg led the scorers with ten points each—four field goals and two 10 shot shots. Dick Harvey's colorful defensive work was brightened by consistent work at theiring line. He scored three field goals and two free throws. The most tenacious man on the court, Dick Seay, collected a trio of double-deckers. And thereby hangs a tale. The performance of Omega is easily summed up in two words—"Bob Payne—which is another way of saying eight points. Murray got the other point for the frat team. PROGRESSIVE JUBILEE SINGERS SCORE HIT The Progressive Jubilee Singers appeared in concert at St. Mark's Hall on Thursday evening, February 5, and scored a big success. A large number turned out to the concert and many remarked not only on the size of the gathering, but that it did not take the advertising of a promise to dance to bring the people out. A fine program was given by the singers, who are S. A. Soughs, first tenor; J. S. Soughs, second tenor; Furman Fordham, bartone, and R. D. Heron, bass. The concert started at 8:50 and ended about 11 o'clock. ANDRADE WILL BE HERE SOON ANDRADE WILL BE HERE SOON Sensational South American Soccer Player Returning With Uruguayan Team. The National soccer team of Uruguay, champions of the 1924 Olympic Games, will sail from montvideo on Feb. 25 on the steamship "Pamana," arriving in New York on March 15. Arrangements have been included underby the tour of the Uruguay through the United States will be personally conducted by Nathan Agar, manager of the Brooklyn Wanderers, and the headquarters of the tour will be Room-582, 51 Chambers street, New York. It is expected that the tour will open in New York, probably on March 20. The Uruguayans are classed among the cleverest exponents of the soccer code in the world, in addition to winning the Olympic championship, the Uruguayans have made several foreign tours, meeting with uniform success. Practically all the Olympic players will make the tour, including Andrade, the sensational colored player. The itinerary of the team has not yet been completed, but it is expected that games will be played in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Newark, Boston, Fall River, New Bedford, Providence, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago. Antonio Andrade was the most colorful and spectacular player ever seen in Europe and his great playing created a tremendous sensation. His marvelous performances in the Olympic Games in Paris were the main factor in his club winning the title of world's champions. Intense interest is already being shown in soccer circles in the United States in the champions' coming tour and crowds of unheard of dimensions are expected to turn out to see them in action. The games in New York and Brooklyn will be played at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, respectively. Tiger Flowers Corners Lou Bogash Be Popular PLAY in a JAZZ BAND Earn More We will assist you!

MAGAZINE SECTION CLASSIFIED ADS Educator and Writer Says the Time Has Come When Every Person Must Take a Stand One Way or Another on Prohibition THE fight is on. The fat has been thrown into the fire. The political pot is boiling. A categorical decision can no longer be avoided. Every alert citizen must take sides one way or the other. Republican politicians indulged the vain hope that they could force the onus of the issue on their Democratic adversaries, while themselves standing aloof, and sniffing the battle alar off. FICKLE LADY LUCK DEAN KELLY MILLER. But just now Nicholas Murray Butler steps into the arena and challenges the Grand Old Party to choose its colors. Dr. Butler is the dean of American educators. His educational influence She Deserted Sweet Cider, Number Player, at a Time When He Needed Her Most SWEET CIDER is broken. Seventh avenue, the scene of his conquests, still remains. Seventh avenue, the Park avenue of Harlem's social set, still retains its staisfied air. Serenely it sits, old has-been that it is, recollecting the days when it must have been called Harlem's Bois de Roulogne, while Afro-American dandies of sundry shades and hues strut their stuff up and down its broad highways. Thousands of motor cars of every style and description use this convenient thoroughfare as a connecting link between the park and the concourse. Daily and nightly a steady stream winds its way up and down this gateway, in and out of the city, unconscious of the tragedy that has set Harlem's tongues to babble. Of all the cars on "The Avenoo," none was finer than Sweet Cider's. Sweet Cider of the Pearl Gray; lucky at cards, lucky at love, the dandy of Seventh avenue, and the finest catch in the whole of Harlem. You knew Sweet Sider the minute you saw him—gray fedora hat, pearl gray suit, suede gloves of a similar hue, gray-topped patent leather shoes, and oh, his cane—the blackest ebony that could be purchased! The finest catch, did I say? Well, then, I'm wrong, for Sweet Cider had a wife somewhere in the background—but along the avenue there were several establishments to which he owned a latchkey, and several dark-skinned beauties boasted of the fact that Sweet Cider supplied them with the necessities of a Harlem existence. But that is aside from our story, and is merely the ordinary turn of events in Harlem's social history. Back in the days when Seventh avenue was growing used to its present condition. Sweet Clder was a hallboy or a porter or something equally as menal. That of course was before he was known by his present alias, but what he did and what his name was has all been lost in the transitory glory that became his when he struck it rich. Oil has made men millionaires over night; the discovery of gold has added many names to an already lengthy list of nouveau riche; men have made fortunes in Wall Street but it took "The Num- RESTAURANT MART PICCORI Touston Tiremaker 23 When Sweet Cider Appeared on the "Avenoo."

There was vacillation with the shifting winds of interest and political advantage. But finally, when the abolitionists forced the issue to the sharp possibility of right and wrong, there was left no further room for indecision. The prohibition issue has now reached that focus. The Grand Old Party has tried to dodge it. The reaches beyond the confines of the classroom and college walls, and extends to the world at large.

Of course you've heard of the Numbers. It's a new and fascinating gamble that has sprung up among the inhabitants of Harlem and San Juan Hill. It has much as no one has found a way to stop its workings, it seems to operate entirely within the law, but who the perpetrator of this scheme of get-rich-quick is, no one has been able to discover. Anyone who is of swarthy complexion and who is known and trusted among his fellow citizens may become a collector. Nightly, like clockwork, after nine o'clock when Ada Elsie and Hannah have returned from their days' work, after the children are in bed and Sam and Clarence and Urick—if they are coming home at all—are safe within the boundaries of their own domains, collectors may be seen going through house after house. Sweet Cider was a plunger. A dollar was the smallest bet he ever placed, but then he was lucky and could afford to gamble. The several highbrown habies among whom he divided his love needed shoes, and when baby needs a pair of shoes there are two ways to get them. Sweet Cider didn't believe in working, so he decided to let the numbers play for him. And, "Oh, boy, how he made dew numbahs run!" Eight Ninety Two! He had it! ARE YOU WET OR DRY? by fulfills his highest function as an educator. It is to be greatly regretted that, in the present instance, he has thrown the weight of his mighty influence on the negative side of an ethical question. All must commend his courage while regretting his alignment with the forces of reaction. He is, however, consistent with his reactionary philosophy. It can be recalled that in 1912, when the reactionary wing of the Republican party came out a bad third in the presidential election, it was none other than President Butler who threw himself into the breach as first lieutenant of a forlorn cause. Dr. Butler gently suggests to President Coolidge to step aside and make room for another of declared wet attitude. He again shows his reactionary tendency when he insists that the third term argument would tend to his defeat at the polls, even if he stood for renomination. The tradition of the day of George Washington has little force on the practical American political mind of today. Roosevelt could have been triumphantly renominated and elected had he not previously disqualified himself by a too hasty declaration. Had Woodrow Wilson's health held out to enable him to put across his League of Nations, as he undoubtedly would have done, he would have been gloriously renominated, and elected for three full terms. President Coolidge possesses a genius for avoiding controvered ethical issues. He went through the last campaign, when ADY He had it for one dollar. That was five hundred and forty dollars to the good. Five hundred and forty dollars to start. Five hundred and forty to build up, to watch grow! A week passes. No results. His wife needs a new hat. Best in 125th street for five dollars and ninety-five cents. He'll try Five Ninety Five. Two dollars on Five Ninety Five. He's got it! Ten hundred and eighty dollars to the good, and oh, boy, watch 'em grow. Every second or third week Sweet Clder struck the right number. With each bit of luck he acquired another bit of finery, another outward proof of his importance: The gray Bachard was the final touch! Its sleek outline could be seen every day on the avenue, mocking the Chevrolets and Fords that dared trespass its sanctuary. Like the metamorphosis of the dull caterpillar into the brilliant butterfly, Sweet Cider found himself transformed. The hall boy, the ordinary citizen of Seventh avenue, New York, was no more. In his steal there arose Harlem's dandy whose word in matters of dress, in matters of luck and in matters of love was supreme. To be told by. Sweet Cider that your suit was stylish was to bear the mark of distinction; to have him cuddle to tell you the number he was playing was an honor granted to few; THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 23, 1927 By KELLY MILLER the Ku Klux issue raged in all of its slaughter and diabolical implications. No one knows until this hour, by any categorical declaration, whether Mr. Coolidge is or is not in sympathy with their program. The prohibition issue has been to the fore during the past four years since he became President, and yet his position is not defined. He is especially kindly towards the colored race, which he has evinced by many a friendly reference, but if he has uttered one word concerning his purpose as to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment it has escaped the attention of the present writer. cause of prohibition as an abstract cause it is an or law. The Democrate divided his use. The agrarian against East. The great lost to the Democrate there is to of alignment policy. Now is the title American with his own belief on the great path to the nomination must reflect the who send them, want to rescind Amendment it competency to Dr. Butler believes that victory for the Republican cause demands the nomination of an unmistakable wet. The challenge is no sooner thrown down than it is taken up by Senator Borah, the lion of Idaho. The doughty Senator declares, that the success of a Republican party does not wait upon the declaration of any individual, however eminent, but upon the clearly expressed will of the great majority of voters. Therefore, he himself engages to enter into joint debate with the eminent educator, and bring the issue squarely before the electorate before delegates are chosen to carry out their imperious will. The contest of wit between Butler and Borah will assume the importance of the Lincoln-Douglas debate of the slavery issue two generations ago. The Idahoan espouses the LUCI venoo" He Was the Cynosure to be the recipient of his amou- ous affections was the secret hope of every hilubelle lady with an apartment sufficiently high- toned to command a visit. Mayor Walker may be the mayor of this city, but the dean- zen of Harlem, the ruler of her colored population and the czar of all he survered was Sweet Cider—and everyone in Harlem knew it. Luck is not like a rubber ball with a string tied to it. If we throw it away we cannot expect to have it come bouncing back to us. If we are sensible enough to make the most of luck when we have it it might prove worth- while, but its elusiveness is un- controllable. Sweet Cider was keeping Lady Luck, but he was playing with her. And he wasn't playing straight. There are several banks in Harlem where money can be deposited at a good rate of interest. They are well-meaning, legitimate business houses, under government supervision, and on a sound and secure footing. But Sweet Cider never heard of them. He walked by them like the angel of death walked by the houses of the Israelites in the plague-infected Egypt when each Hebrew home bore a mark of recognition on the door. Banks to him were places where they take your money and give it to somebody else, and that's the end of it. Better invest in some cause of prohibition, not so much as an abstract principle, but because it is an organic part of the law. The Democratic party is already divided by this great issue. The agricultural South is arrayed against the industrial East. The great West is totally lost to the Democratic hope unless there is to be a reformation of alignment politically. Now is the time for the average American voter to impress his own belief and conviction upon the great parties. Delegates to the nominating convention must reflect the will of those who send them. If the people want to rescind the Eighteenth Amendment it is within their competency to do so. If they want this amendment enforced it is their duty to put in power a party and a President who will enforce it. It is one thing to enforce the law on nice technical grounds, merely because it is the law, and quite another thing to uphold the law because you believe in it. If the American people are in earnest in their determination to make the nation dry, then they should elect a President who not merely gives his passive consent to its enforcement, but one who believes in it with all of his heart. The rescinding of this amendment is all but unthinkable. It would require the consent of thirty-six State legislatures in both houses to undo this or any other amendment. No, sober-minded person believes that this is possible. The remaining alternatives are that the law must be enforced or ignored.

That was it, real estate; And in these days, when one thinks of real estate, one thinks of Florida! You know! You've had those wise-cracking, word-splitting salesmen sing to you of the glories of the state that Ponce de Leon didn't make famous but which those who pounced on its real estate did. They told you of the money crying to be made. Of the veritable milk-and-honey land to be found south of the good old State of Georgia.

Keys—Florida Keys—to which your money was to be the lock. You've listened, yes, you've listened, and you've smiled wise—but Sweet Cider bit—and he bit hard! One day in December the gray Packard headed southward. Little did it bear the knowledge under its shining gray hood that that was to be its last journey under its present owner. The land of the sky-blue water called and the boy of its pearl gray Packard answered. It was a sad day in Harlem when Sweet Cider left. Some people claimed that the decorations on the 125th street stores were put up in his honor but of course Christmastime was nearing. That the stories were taking cognizance of the fact on the very day of his departure was merely a EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS shall it be? Do the American people wish to appear in their own eyes or in the eyes of the world us a nation which regards its fundamental law as a scrap of paper? Let me now apply the case to the special situation and circumstances of the Negro race. Can we afford to array ourselves on the side of lawiness? Personally, if I were a wet by personal conviction and practice, I would advocate prohibition as a racial policy. I cannot see how we can do otherwise without stabilizing our own souls. I have written and spoken so freely, and frequently on this question that there is little that is left to say. Our whole political salvation depends upon the enforcement of the law. All of our contention is to this fact. We appeal to the conscience of the white race to enforce their own constitution which they have made, and in which we had no direct hand in the making. We join in the moral plea that the nation is doomed which violates its own fundamental law. We denounce the South, in all of the moors and teneses of condemnation, because it overrides the Constitution in matters which affect our own interests. Now how can we without self-sultification join in the violation of that part of the organic law calculated to keep the nation dry? Let me put the Negro on warning against the danger of getting the American people in the habit of tampering with the Constitution. The reshendment of one amendment leads easily to the suggestion of rescinding others. A Story of a "Colored Gentleman Who Never Played Less Than a Dollar Sweet Cider went to Florida, but his lady-luck "done him dirt." He had a seat for her in the car, but she stayed behind, and no matter how much he called for her she wouldn't come. With optimistic visions of the future that he was sure lay ahead of him, he even promised to buy her half the State of Florida; but no, she had already turned her affections in another direction. Sweet Cider was a widower, as far as lady-luck was concerned, for he buried her alive when he stopped playing numbers. Back in Harlem, in the rear of a Lenox avenue flat, a room was taken recently by a man in a shabby gray suit. A hat that had once been the pride of its owner rested on a shiny, brown dome. Three dollars—the last he had in the world—was deposited with his landlord as security—and Sweet Clder, dandy, Sweet Clder, the luck, returned to his beloved Harlem, unwept, unhonored and unsung. There are those who say hell try the numbers again, but all oldtimers at the game know that once lady-luck has left you for another you can't win her back. The tenants in a certain apartment house on the upper West Side will soon be noticing a new face as monarch of the elevator. The five or six young ladies for whom Sweet Cider used to provide, sustenance have returned to do day jobs. The gray Packard no more is seen on "The Avenue." Only the avenue, Seventh avenue, the scene of his conquests remains, for Sweet Cider is broke—and all Harlem knows it. "Best" Editorial to Be Published senger Eugene Gordon, Negro journalist on the staff of the Boston Post, has agreed to select for The Messenger magazine the best editorial appearing in the Negro press each month. In making the selection, Mr. Gordon, who has been studying the Negro press carefully for the last two or three years, will read each week the editorials in all of the principal Negro newspapers published in this country. When interviewed, he said: "As to my method, I think it will "Our Whole Political Salvation Depends Upon the Enforcement of the Law --- How Can We Then Join in the Organic Violation of the Law?"

Price $5.00 THIS book is in nine parts, including a resume of the historical background: the Negro in the Northern and Southern States since the Civil War; the Negro in the World War; Negro migration; the Negro in literature and art; proposed solutions; the future of the Negro, and paths of hope. In all, a comprehensive, careful study. The curtailment clause of the Fourteenth Amendment finds little or no support in contemporaneous political thought. Although it is ignored, yet it remains a reminder that it might some day be made effective. It would be easier to reschedule the Fifteenth Amendment than the Eighteenth. It is an unwise philosophy that would lead to the reckordment of a righteous law merely because it is difficult to enforce. The Ten Commandments have never been fully enforced, but who would be rash enough to advocate their repeal? I am not simple minded enough to suppose that the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment would lead directly to the observance of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. I know that they are widely separated in the public mind at present. Mr McAdoo calls New York and Maryland disloyal because they do not join whole-heartedly in the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment but he would consider it impolite to suggest that he apply the same condemnation to Mississippi and Georgia for ruthless violation of the Civil War enactments.

One is impressed as one proceeds with Professor Dowling's sympathy with the colored people in many of their trials. He tells us that when he read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" he did not think it any more exaggerated than was legitimate in a work of art that was to convey a realistic impression. He has a strong chapter on lynching, with a stirring reluctance to the clergy for failing to preach against this barbarous practice, they seeming to regard it an not comparable to the sin of card playing or dancing or going to the theatre. He shows the sins of neonage and the iniquitous conditions in all our prisons. There is not an American penal institution he has seen that he would not like to scrap. Throughout the book one sees that it expresses the convictions of a humane, thoughtful man. Professor Dowd speaks strongly against those things that decent men all over the country condemn. But he is a conservative when he touches apparently less serious evil. He accepts segregation and political disfranchisement, but he wants the Negro to know that the white race has the right to act as it does, not because the Negro is inferior, but because of the sense of "conscientiousness of kind," the innate feeling that like must associate with like. The old superiority talk, the "Negro as a beast" oratory, is entirely lacking, but the stigma be somewhat as follows: To read carefully each editorial with a view to finding (1) whether they observe the fundamental and accepted rules of editorial writing; (2) whether, in general, they each present a good rhetorical specimen; (3) whether the writer succeeded in attaining the precise effect he started to attain. That, roughly, indicates my method. It is, of course, subject to many minor changes. I shall accompany each chosen editorial with a statement as to why it was considered 'best.' The first series of editorials being studied by Mr. Gordon covers the four issues for the weeks ending January 8, 15, 22, and 29, and the editorial designated as 'best' by Mr. Gordon will appear in the March number of The Messenger, out February 25. publican party of the wisdom of nominating and electing a dry President, there is no assurance that we will try to uphold those amendments which are not in harmony with contemporaneous public thought and feeling. But it is obviously apparent that laxity of attitude on one part of the Constitution leads to laxity of attitude towards other parts. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments would be pushed much further towards the back of the public consciousness If the undoing of the Eighteenth Amendment meets with the approval of the American electorate, and especially with the assistance of Negro votes. Now is the time for the colored leaders to get busy, to impress whatever influence they may have upon the public mind in behalf of constitutional integrity. Let the newspapers, pulpits, politicians and leaders, in all walks of life preach and proclaim the righteous enforcement of law. If we wait until the delegates are chosen and the nominations are made, then there is nothing left but to follow the lead that has been already set. But now we may, to some slight extent, help to set the lead.

It is given a sociological setting. I can only point out a few things in the volume that show what I believe, militates much against its importance. Though printed only a few weeks ago it is a book of yesterday. Its authorities belong in the past before the World War. Ray Standard Baker, Lyman Abbott, C. F. Adams, Booker Washington, W. H. Thomas. Mingled with them is Giddings' sociology, an antiquated Santa Claus. It fails especially when it attempts to give the Negro's reaction to present conditions. To give two examples: Professor Dowd says that the problem of race separation is working out to the satisfaction of both races except in a few particulars and that if the white people will offer the Negro adequate transportation accommodations there will be much hope for harmonious civic relationships. There is just enough truth in this to make its falseness the more real. The Negro is glad to get what he can while segregated, but just as he reads more and travels more he the more resents the insult of being shunted off as untouchable. The "white" and "colored" signs were never so loathed by Negroes as today, especially by Negro youth. Another example is his confidence that if the Negro had the vote he would vote solidly on a racial basis. On the contrary he would vote in the South as he votes in the North, according to his individual interests. Given a vote the Negro capitalist in the South would cast it for privilege; well as the white capitalist as not bother under what name it went. Doubless the Negroes would be united in striving to get good schools, aweering, decent streets, but that would help in races. The present day Negro can only be interpreted by those who kill him. When an author quotes an old house servant as his ideal, one sees that he has not met his kind. If Professor Dowd will put aside all thought of race and mingle on an equality with colored artists, writers, scholars, he will understand what they want, not otherwise. And it seems strange that he doesn't when he himself says of the Negro that "it is the most interesting race in the world." BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND SECTION Rev. Harten Tells President Negroes Must Look Elsewhere for Rights Only Race on God's Earth That Travelled 3,000 Miles to Fight for Democracy Which Was Denied Them on Return, Pastor Tells President When the delegation representing various organizations called on President Coolidge a week ago, the spokesman, Dr. Harten, stated to President Coolidge that the drive for the release of the colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry was started in the Seventieth Centennial Year, and since a colored man gave the first blood for America's Independence, it would be a splendid token to the race to release the remaining soldiers in Fort Leavenworth prison. Mr. President, we have been told for over sixty years that in order to achieve the desired ends we must buy property, get an education, build homes, go into business, be thirty; we have done these things. We have been told to have patience to my mind the patience of the Negro man surpassed that of Job; And after sixty years of waiting we find today the handbook of prejudice more tightly fastened. We find that mob violence in 1826 surpasses that of recent years. Men and women of our race, even here in Federal Departments are segregated. We are thoroughly continued, Mr. President, that we must look in some other direction for a solution to citizenship rights, which can only be solved by rigid enforcement of the law. A word from you, Mr. President, against lynching, against segregation, would mean much to me. --- "The jurisdiction of the black man cannot be questioned or excused, he has answered every call. We are the only race on God's earth who travelled more than three thousand miles to fight for democracy and on our return have that democracy for which we must denuded us. As President of this country we believe you are interested in all of its citizens. It is the sentiment of the rank and file of the American people that these soldiers have been sufficiently punished and should be released. We are expecting more from you than from any other President since the days of Lincoln, when that you are from Massachusetts." Dr. R. T. S. Harren of Brooklyn, N. Y., national organizer Equal Rights League, author and director Soldiers' Pardon Drive, forcefully, convincingly but politely worded the plea on behalf of the soldiers and the race. Spokeman Harten recalled his acquaintance with the President for the past ten years, when he knew him as Governor and Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts, and asked him to live up to the traditions of the Old Bay State. The meeting was led by the Natl. Real Rights League, Rev. G. K. president; Hon. War Monroe Traister, Boston, corresponding secretary; Rev. T. S. Harten, Brooklyn, N. Y., National organizer. The following organizations united with the Natl. Real Rights League: the N. A. A. C. P., the Natl. Race Congress, Rev. Dr. Jernigan, D. C. president, Rev. League of Colored Women Voters and the U. N. I. A. The spokesman presented the petition with signatures representing thirty states. There were thirty states represented by thirty fifty in the delegation. The following questions were asked the delegation by President Coolidge: The President—"How many are in prison?" **HANK WANY.** The President - How long have they been there? Answer—"Ten years." The President—"How long were they sentenced for?" answer—"For life." The President—"I will take this matter up with the Secretary of War and see what can be done for the government, to sequestrate it, in the General Department, I am working on it, and I thought that it had been eliminated. I shall continue until it is wiped out." Mrs. Williams Gives Party to Many Friends A multifacial party was given by Mrs. L. W.

(Condensed from the Weekly Sermon of the Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor Naxar- ane Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y.) 1. A preacher should be like a cook—tear a text to pieces, put it together again, heat it up, put a little gravity on it, and serve. 2. No matter how weak every person has a strong point, which is the argument for his conversion. 3. Good God your strong point, and he will strengthen your weakness. 4. Paul's strong point, was hustling, and he became the traveling salesman of the Christ Idea. 5. Go as far as you can, and God will open the way. 6. Substitute self-discipline for self-expression, and the wave of student suicide would cease. 7. Cultivate the sensitiveness of the mimoza, the magnetic needle and the photographic plate in your spiritual life. 8. Get in tune with the Infinite. 9. Follow the vision, and you will feel the winds of God blowing you on your way. 10. A woman was the first preacher of the gospel and the first convert of the Western world. Races All Alike, Hindu Tells Y. W. "Race Relations Sunday" Observed to Bring Nationalities Into Closer Contact "Race Relations Sunday" was observed Feb. 13 at Central Branch Y. W. C. A. 576 Schermhorn street, with the singing of Negro spirituals and speeches by a Hindu lecturer and a Japanese student. More than 400 attended the session. Joseph Chockto, full-blooded Hindu, studying American law, spoke on the "Biology of Race." "Biologically speaking," he said, "there is no difference between men, colored or white. They are the same in structure and the same in function. The only difference there is exists in the beliefs of either, in climatic reactions and in degrees of civilization." He said it was easy to conceive a race system which can be homogeneous indie, where there are various grievous features, but that in the Americas it was more difficult to see any reason for cause or classification of one man as better or another. Robert Kamedi, Japanese student, said in his address: "The Christian viewpoint and that of the Chinese and Japanese are essentially the same. A Japanese reacts to joy similarly to the Christian, the Jewish, the Yellow and whites are not far in their reactions to life. Race barriers were artificially raised by super-civilized peoples, and should be torn down." Mr. Nell Hunter, colored, sang several Negro spirituals at the close of the speeches. Miss Eina Sandin, executive "Y" secretary, presiding, explained the purpose of the speech: "We observed each year by churnhes to effect a larger toleration and understanding of the so-called 'lower races.'"

Pocketbook Game Again Despite the warnings from time to time by the New York Amsterdam News and other newspapers in New York City operated by colored people, another case of the old "pocketbook game" came to light in the County Court last week. Philip Austin, 21 years old, of 247 W. 125th street, and Henry Baker, 34 years old, of 2123 Seventh avenue. Manhattan, appeared before Judge Martin charged with having gotten $83 from Leonard Bowen, a chiropractor, of 292 Bargen street on Nov. 6 last. Baker admitted his guilt but declared that Austin had no part in the transaction. According to Bowen, he accepted the custody of a pocketbook which he had seen a stranger, pick up, after the stranger requested that he do so, provided he put some money as security. The pocketbook is alleged to have contained an envelope which had contained $3,000. It was a lentil avenue and Adalphi street. Bowen put up $5, all that he had at the time, in the envelope, which was given to him. When the stranger, who had later been joined by another man, failed to appear to get their portion of the money, Bowen opened the envelope and found only torn sheets of racing charts. Austin, in endeavoring to produce an alibi, caused a big laugh in the court. "Your Honor," spoke up Austin, "I'm not guilty of this charge.

A first look caused him to adjust his glasses more closely to his eyes. "Your innocence" added the tag. "Yes, Your Honor," replied Austin as a somewhat satisfied look came over his face.

Berger last Sunday night, speaking in observance of "Race Relations Sunday" at the Reformed Church of Canarsie, Conklin avenue, of which he is pastor. His topic was: "Is There One Race?" "Today's struggle," he said, "among humans is to obliterate the inherent difference marked by race, creed and color line. It is a struggle to establish one creed, one race, one government; in other words, one universal brotherhood, with the one God above all." Original man, Dr. Berger said, sprang from one central force of life. This force was the universal Spirit which controls the cosmos. He said, and differing personalities and individual creeds, behelds and governments have created that man began to have ideas of his own as to life and its living, and no longer followed the God-given instincts within him. "Separation came about by denial of unity, Man made gods of his own and worshiped them and thus sprung into being different than the earth and politically they began to differ. There are Jews, Christians, Mohammedans, Buddhists, and others who differ in religion, and whites, blacks and yellows who differ in viewpoints of life. "Affirmation of unity will do more to unite line as well as smooth on behalf, and worship of God." be concluded.

FIFTEEN Players Wage Bitter ing of Merrick Road and Demand Action That Will to Property Owners Jamaica. issues of the new year, in the Jamaica's South Side, is the pro- of Merrick road, between South formerly known as Cumberland erty owners of both races have in this particular neighborhood If there ever was a thoroughfare where an immediate improvement is needed, it is Merrick road, between South street and 180th avenue the traffic outlet to all parts of Long Island. It is a variable street, with streets for both pedestrians and automobileists, and there is great wonder that more accidents haven't happened, especially at 180th avenue, and Merrick road. According to the signers of a petition to Borough President Maurice Connolly, for action in having immediate improvements built in 180th avenue, about twice as many bad accidents were the toll on Merrick road that is noted for its dangerous curves. The property owners, many of whom are incarcerated at the dormant action of the Borough President's office, and the lack of interest of the Jamaica Local Board of the residents of the residents of that community because, it was alleged at that time that only 2 per cent of the taxpayers in the district affected had signed, feel sure that the improvement will come, but their argument is that it is impossible to get anything definite on the situation, and in the words of one leading spirit of the movement in 1977, "about sums up the battle that will be waged if something tangible isn't forthcoming by spring. This particular gentleman is just on the fact that it is just as necessary that Merrick road be widened as it was for the widening of Queens boulevard, money spent on the Boardwalk at Rockaway and other luxurious thoroughfares in this county, and can't understand why the Board of Estimate and Apportionment hasn't seen fit to act in favor of the taxpayers' request, unless some invisible forces have been playing "hide-and-seek" with the alleged mistreated taxpayers. Many taxpayers claim they have on some bide buyers willing to buy if the city allows them to move the city's movement for the widening of the thoroughfare, and also building plans ready to file to the building department, for approval for automobile showroom concerns, but are hampered by the delayed condemnation and the visting dates. It was further pointed out that a number of property owners desire to develop their property but cannot because the city has not taken action, and they are denied a change in zoning restrictions. Their claim is that they are not the owners of their property, with the exception of paying taxes and assessments. The zoning restriction referred to in the above paragraph was applied for by petition dated Oct. 26, 1925, requesting a change from a business district to an unrestricted district for the property abutting upon both sides of Merrick road, between 107th (Dewey) avenue and 105th avenue (Cumberland street), including the northeast corner at Dewey avenue. In 1925, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment denied the request, and since that time the property owners have been in a quandary as to the next step for the much needed improvement along Merrick road.

CAMPBELL goes the unique honor and distinction of having written the only scorching letter in our recent endeavor to find out what our readers like best, or dislike most. in The Amsterdam News. This singular letter is printed in full in this issue of the paper and the writer has been placed on our mailing list for a one year's free subscription. The bone of Mr. Campbell's contentions is that we do not print foreign news. We quote as follows: No Negro newspaper that prints nothing of the important happenings in Mexico, in China, in India, in Nicaragua, is worth being called a newspaper. Buy a copy of the New York Times, or the New York American, or the World any day in the week, and what do we find; big headliners describing events in the above mentioned places, especially, at the present time, in China. Or take important weeklies, like the Literary Digest, and I tell you what you will find—seven out of every ten pages devoted to foreign news. WE PLEAD GUILTY. We do not hate seven out of ten, or even one in ten, of our twenty pages to foreign news; nor do we attempt to compete with any one of the periodicals mentioned. We even believe that the question that we attempt to compete in furnishing of foreign news matters daily newspapers issuing several editions is extremely foolish. And we believe this, knowing that many of our exports coming from foreign countries especially those originating in countries having a color problem on the hands — are not always reliable and should be refuted. The latter we do often as possible. WHILE we are interested in the life and his problems all over the United States and throughout the world, we are primarily concerned with the gro in this immediate section, from, we are happy to say, most of our letters have come. These professions be satisfied with the limited efforts we are making to serve them — efforts which we hope to improve upon from week to week. WE PLEAD GUILTY.

Understudies BEING an understudy is nothing more nor less than the preparation of one's self for an exigency which, on account of the uncertainty of life and constance, may develop. The words used mostly in connection with the age, but may be made to apply with actual force to other phases of activity. The Twelve Disciples were understudied in that they sought to permeate BEING an understudy is nothing more nor less than the preparation of one's self for an exigency which, on account of the uncertainty of life and circumstance, may develop. The word is used mostly in connection with the stage, but may be made to apply with equal force to other phases of activity. The Twelve Disciples were understudies, in that they sought to perpetuate the work of the Christ. Every follower of Christ is His understudy, and, while the opportunity to fill His place in the world is ever present, none has been able to fill it. BUT UNDERSTUDIES do sometimes EDITORIAL PAGE excel their masters; and in this way the world progresses. The stage presented recently two striking examples of understudies who stepped into the roles played by stars and acquitted themselves exceedingly well—several critics even claiming that they outshone the stars. Daniel L. Haynes, a man entirely unknown to the stage, stepped recently into the shoes of Charles Gilpin in "The Bottom of the Cup." and the play went on. Frank Wilson, another understudy, took the part formerly played by Julius Bledsoe in "Abraham's Bosom" and already he has been acclaimed a better man for the part than Mr. Bledsoe. The important thing in these two cases is that the understudies were ready to step in and carry the important work of the drama forward when their opportunity knocked. NO MATTER what position you occupy today, preparation should be made for the next higher position offering an opportunity for greater service both to yourself and to others. It is important, though, as an understudy, that you prepare yourself without obstructing the light of your star—without interfering with the work of your superior and by doing the task assigned to you to the utmost of your ability. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Aaron E. Malone From the Atlanta Independent. body disputes the right of Mr. Malone for legal separation from his wife. If he thought honest judgment that such a step was beaten the circumstances. But, everybody comes off his part to wrack her fortune, love and admire a manly man, but never with the coward who would strike a woman below the belt. The public generally never heard of Mr. Malone the married Madame Annie E. Pope-Turner name. It was her money and genius that public attention to his existence, and for on the woman he promised God to protect is the lowest ingritude. Malone divorce affair is no longer on personal concern, by reason of Mr. Malone for efforts to turn his wife's million folks, to be squandered and dissipate costs and attorney fees. The effort to take from this good woman the success exposes a deep laid plan, notOCK her fortune, but to take from her need recipe; not only to take from her the already saved, but to take her formulae her to poverty and want—fix her so not come back. Malone effort bears every earnmark ofracy to reap what he has not sown. Hour reflecting upon the integrity of the Court, we submit, as a general proclaim that the average receivership means the motion and dissipation of property and for this knowledge, Mr. Malone's act was well deliberate, with the intention of taking from her fortune and good name. He could be a divorce. If his case had merit, with his wife's fortune over to a white recess the sense he represents himself to have had settlement out of court as to property and terms of separation. No crack her fortune, and turn it over to the following the usual course of the arrear "nigger," which is, "If I can't keep it, the white folks." Ms Madame Malone's fight becomes the richest fortunes accumulated in the by persons of color are Madame Her Manufacturing Company and the Porpoise both founded, and built up by women with holding hand of man—and the race should idly by and see one of these founders by an excuse of a man without solemn. We should protest long and loud against conspiring with a white man to rob a coin of her good name and millions. INDEPENDENT PROTESTS. Nobody disputes the right of Mr. Malone for seeking legal separation from his wife. If he thought in his honest judgment that such a step was best under the circumstances. But, everybody condemns the effort on his part to wrack her fortune. The people love and adduce a manly man, but have little patience with the coward who would strike a surruggling woman below the belt. The public generally never heard of Mr. Malone until he married Madame Annie E. Pope-Turnbo, of Pero fame. It was her money and genius that called the public's attention to his existence, and for him to turn on the woman he promised God to support and protect is the lowest ingratitude. The Malone divorce affair is no longer one of their personal concern, by reason of Mr. Malone's uncleared-for efforts to turn his wife's millions over to white folks, to be squandered and dissipated in court costs and attorney fees. The effort of the receiver to take from this good woman the secret of her success exposes a deep laid plan, not only to wreck her fortune, but to take from her her patented recipe; not only to take from her the fortune already saved, but to take her formula and reduce her to poverty and want—fix her so she could not come back. Mr. Malone's effort bears every earnmark of a conspiracy to reap what he has not nown. Without reflecting upon the integrity of the St. Louis Court, we submit, as a general proposition, that the average receivership means the destruction and dissipation of property and fortunes. With this knowledge, Mr. Malone's act was wilful and deliberate, with the intention of taking from his wife her fortune and good name. He could have gotten a divorce, if his case had merit, without turning his wife's fortune over to a white receiver. If he has the sense he represents himself to have, he could have had settlement out of court as to division of property and terms of separation. No! He must wreck her fortune, and turn it over to the white folks, following the usual course of the average ignorant "migger," which is, "If I can't keep it, give it to the white folks." Thus Madame Malone's fight becomes the race's fight. The largest fortunes accumulated in this country by persons of color are Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company and the Poro College—both founded, and built up by women without the guiding hand of man—and the race should not stand idly by and see one of these foundations wrecked by an excuse of a man without solemn protest. We should protest long and loud against any Negro conspiring with a white man to rob a colored woman of her good name and millions. THE INDEPENDENT PROTEST An American Tragedy r Huff Fauset, in the Philadelphia P Journal.) tragedy of slavery was hardly more pois (Arthur Huff Faust, in the Philadelphia Public Journal.) The tragedy of slavery was hardly more poignant RUSSIA than this latter-day tragedy in which the Negro finds himself an outcast in the commercial and industrial world. Once the cry was for education; today it is for a chance to use the education which thousands of us have labored to obtain. That tails tragedy has by no means reached the proportions we may expect to observe in the near future must be patent to every individual who recognizes the rapidly closing gap between the Negro and economic ostracism. Where once the Negro held a monopoly in such services as bootblack, barber, caterer and in other lines, today we find that these also are rapidly passing out of his grasp, and he is as much an outcast among the ranks of servants as he formerly was in the hallis of the elite. What is to be done about it? Are we to lie still, weep, perhaps, and mourn for the inevitable day, and quietly submit to a bitter fate? God forbid! Yet death is hardly more certain than this economic serfdom to which our race appears doomed unless we grasp the bull by the horns and stay the day of the executioner. Grapping the bull by the horns is our only hope. Negroes have got to forget all differences. bury every internal animosity, and strike a blow for our economic freedom. This blow can only be struck if we put our best brains together and find ways of establishing ourselves in the economic world. We must lay the foundations of our independence in raw materials and race projects. Instead of wasting time congratulating ourselves on the appearance of a thousand new college graduates on the horizon, let us shout into the ears of all our young folk that they must begin at the low rung of the ladder and build industries and businesses which will expand and in their expansion give thousands of our people a means to utilise their native and acquired intellectual gifts. Back to the soil; back to materials; back to the fundamentals of business, farming and industry. From that point, supported by a black population which heeds the danger and bares its back to the burden, let us develop our giants in trade and our giants in enterprise. Unless we heed early, the Negro is in imminent danger of suffering his greatest American tragedy. (Continued.) THIS is the fourth article on Russia. It would take twice as many more for me to convey any clear idea of the impressions of a visit of even a few days in Russia. The existence of Russia is an amazing fact. The very idea of peasants and workers guiding their own destiny, even if to God-knows-where, instead of being ridden by Czars and Grand Dukes, is a stupely idea. Small wonder that thinkers want to see Russia. It is queer that some governments do not want their people even to SEE Russia. One day I was invited to the Kremlin to meet twenty-two Chinese generals of General Feng's revolutionary forces, whom old Feng seems to have sent to Russia to study military and government methods for three months. This was the biggest batch of "generals." I had ever had anything to do with. After lunch we all made speeches, and our speeches were rendered into Chinese and Russian. Undoubtedly the Russian recognition of absolute sovereignty of China is bearing fruit. These generals were intelligent and fine fellows—some of them with the best education that American universities can give. They took notes of everything said at this dinner conference. The Russians took moving pictures and photographs of us perhaps fifty times that day. They certainly mean to have you in their "rogues" gallery" in Russia. They must have made at least twelve individual photographs of me—and the Berlin correspondents have been almost as bad. It ought to amuse American colored people to hear that a New York Negro has to come to Berlin to be "phoneled and hunted and worried to death for "interviews" by correspondents of New York daily papers. THE REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT There is an institution in the heart of Moscow called the Eastern University. I wanted to see what they do there. The Government pays all the bills of the 1,200 students, who come from all the nations of the earth—even four or five American Negroes are there, and are the most popular fellows in Moscow. It is a great student body of boys and girls, men and women, from all nations. Oriental and Occidental. I was told that among the applicants for scholarships they prefer those of some political experience. It seemed to me to be really a school of revolutionary ideas. I went to a moving picture one night at the university and they had Gorky's "The Mother" on the screen. It is one of the most powerful revolutionary films I have ever seen. No "sex" matter, as in the American theatres and movies. You know, the Americans are more prudish than the Russians, and THEREFORE the Americans like to go to the theatres and see a lot of sex not-wife-stealing, love double-crossing, etc. But the Russians, who are far less prudish than Anglo-Saxons, seem not to care about sex matters in the theatres. It is the [Name] repressed emotions of the Americans and the English that seek outlets in their theatres, perhaps. Gorky's is a play of revolution. of secret meetings, stark courage, hiding of guns, of death and sacrifice—which in 1905 brought nothing but disaster to the revolutionaries under the heels of the Czarist troops. There is also the Sun Yat Sen College in Moscow, where many Chinese students are being educated. Speaking of revolutionary plays, there was the drama, "Richi Kital," which I had heard of before going to Moscow. Perhaps no play ever staged combined better the factors of art and propaganda. To convey any idea of the propaganda power of the play is impossible, but a word about the theme may be suggestive. "Rich! Kital" in Russian language means something like "Awake, O China!" or "Arouse Thyself, O China!" The play represents a solidarity of the white race against the colored—or against China, at least. It opens with a British warship in the harbor and the usual "Wealthy" American trading and hiring coolies on the shore to move his machinery. MUSIC About 2,000 people, mostly white, heard J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon in a program of Negro Spirituals at Carnegie Hall last Wednesday evening. Although the numbers were rendered in fine style, there seemed to be a lack of spirit and effort necessary to fill the spaces hall. Many was the time that Mr. Johnson, pianist and baritone, joined with Mr. Gordon, tenor, in the singing of the numbers. This gave a decided bit of monotony to the program. The concert was given for the benefit of the New York and Brooklyn branches of the National Urban League. A short platform speech was made by Lloyd Garrison, treasurer of the league.

I want to commend you for the splendid editorial entitled "They're Red Hot," which appeared in this week's issue of your paper. I have wondered that our papers had not touched upon this phase of internal disintegration in our group. This business of selling stolen goods—or supposedly stolen goods, which quite frequently are nothing but factory seconds—is doing much to retard business development in the community. Many of our leaders who are loud in their exclamations against wrong-doing and shortcomings wink at this sort of participation in crime. Many who would become insulted if they were accused of dishonesty are participants in one of its most flagrant phases. The legitimate business man in the community gets very little encouragement, but when the unscrupulous salesman can brighten his talk with a confidential story that makes a purchaser a party to his dishonest and nefarious method, then the sale is consummated and many of them go forth in the community arrayed in the spoils of a thief and are so proud of it that they do as your editorial states: tell it to their their friends with pride and bravado. This is not only reacting upon the group by giving it a bad reputation from without and a stigmatized record in police circles, but it is tearing at the very vitals of the community's well-being, because when our business life is throttled by underhand methods from within as well as from without, it will never be able to take its place in the business life of the city. THOMAS E. TAYLOR. Executive Secretary. 185th St. Branch. Y. M. C. A. February 16, 1927. Johnson-Gordon Carnegie Recital The play skillfully shows that the Britishers have no use or respect for that American; they ridicule him behind his back and make all manner of fun of his bluster. BUT when this American is accidentally drowned by falling out of a coole ferryman's boat, THEN the British step in, with their big guns trained on this town, and compel the authorities to catch and put to death two canzies, regardless of the question of guilt. The American had perished because he was struggling with the coolie over the ear, after refusing to pay the coolie the fare, and during the coolie's refusal to row any further. And when the authorities of the town meekly carry presents to the British man-o-war and explain that nothing has happened to English, but only to an American, they receive the reply: "That makes no difference; he is one of us when attacked," or something to that effect. The skill with which the thing is constructed and the art with which it is acted would certainly tend to arouse Chinese or anybody else. It amused me to find that, in Russia, the "comrades" do not want to be called "Mr." or "Mrs." or "gentleman" or "lady." All those terms are signs of the "bourgeoisie" and everything of the sort must be discarded. When one "comrade" is angry with another he may call him "gentleman" in order to insult him. After the French Revolution "citizen" was thus substituted for these other terms. Russia is an inexhaustible theme, even on a short inspection, but we must quit Russia for a while, for other things are crowding in upon me. Back in Berlin I met in one evening more than twenty representatives of German and foreign papers, including American, Japanese, Chinese, and many other nations. We had tea at the luxurious Rhinegold Restaurant's "Yellow Room" and I was asked to make the chief after-dinner address on the situation in America. Glarenec Cameron White. violinist, here Saturday in a recital. Mudge Paris, African baritone, was heard in a recital in Salem M. E. Church. 129th street and Seventh avenue, on Thursday evening. In the representative audience was Harry T. Burleigh, whose latest number, "Trees, Were You There?" was rendered for the first time by an African. Mr. Paris, formerly a pupil of Clara Novelle-Davie, and now a pupil of Prof. Caska Bonde, has a voice of rich, sympathetic quality. He, by the way, has just received a scholarship to study in Europe. The singer was well supported by Miss Frankle Dixon, accompanist, whose feeling for the singer was always present. She is not only a talented accompanist, but a concert pianist as well. Miss Dixon is a product of the Institute of Musical Art, Frank Damrosch, director. Some of the other recital numbers used were by Massenet, Dett. Avery Robinson, Ben Johnson.

TAYLOR. Keeping Fit By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Negro Doctors HUMAN NATURE is inevitably fallible, and Negro doctors are human. I know preachers, priests and nuns who have fallen by the wayside of an ideal life, yet the majesty, importance and inspirations of their profession, taken as a whole, is still a big factor on the lives of a large part of the human race. Some banks fail, yet we still continue to put money in banks. A few grains of sand do not make a beach. Negro doctors by reason of their phenomenal success both scientifically and financially are leaders of their communities, and like all leaders they are always subject to severe criticism. earth is the title of doctor, and seek to look down upon other women who are better educated and often of better parentage. Minor faults are always exaggerated, and the "falling from grace" of the few is heaped upon the heads of the many. Nevertheless, as a noble profession I feel that introspection by its members is necessary from time to time, and constructive criticism from the public should be regarded with care. I am therefore giving to my readers an editorial that was contributed by one of the readers of The Amsterdam News: Much of this, it is to be admitted, is due to the good work of the average Negro physician, many of whom sought and obtained for themselves the best education and training that they could acquire; who served their race unselfishly in every cause; who treated patients from whom they knew they would never receive pay, and who became leaders in the community for right living and civic betterment. These men were the Sunday school superintendents, the stewards and deacons and trustees of the church; the officers of the lodges and the heads of the earlier community business enterprises. As a result he gained patients; he made money; he became successful. He developed a natural monopoly. The colored doctor occupies the place that once was occupied by the Negro preacher. The ministry lost their leadership because they missed a proper conception of their opportunity. Unless the signs of the times are wrong the physician of today is about to miss his. Plenty of money, the unhampered existence, the primary respect of the community, and above all the "title" of doctor, have attracted into the medical profession hundreds of men who are unfit morally to have entered upon an old and learned profession. They have not and are not taking either their work or their lives seriously. They feel that with the license to practice medicine they have achieved the final heights. This class of doctors spend their time to no advantage in the community from whom they draw their living. They patronize no Negro businesses. They pass up Negro lawyers. They read Negro newspapers only when they think there is some account of their social activities held up to the lower strata. In short, they make their money from Negroes, and they spend it with whites. One would think that Negro drug stores would get all their patronage. But ask any Negro druggist and he will tell you how hard he has to fight to secure his business. The Negro physician, when he gets up beyond the point of hanging around a drug store, sends his prescriptions to a white druggist or phones them in to make sure. His general pretext is that he wants the prescription filled right. With the physicians' united support the colored druggist could fill them right, and have on hand every known and desirable drug. Snobbishness extends too often to the wives who tactlessly make themselves obnoxious to others through the assumption of fine airs and the arrogance that identifies the newly-rich. Often, these ladies, themselves not liberally educated and' sometimes of doubtful antecedents and history, feel that the greatest thing on INVITE NOMINATIONS FOR WALKER AWARD The Madam C. J.

Our newspapers, week after week, have as a leading article some undesirable notoriety and publicity about some doctor. It is a street fight here or a divorce action there or a scandal or trial or something unfavorable somewhere, each week that is beginning to show up the medical profession, hitherto most highly regarded, as being needful of a clean-up. Of course this does not mean that the entire profession is bad. On the contrary, the majority of doctors are decent and respectable. Yet the national, state and local medical societies might do well to pause and take stock of the actions of some of their members, least discredit be brought upon the entire medical profession because of the escapades of a few scalawags who have crammed through to a degree and massed a state examination. The doctor comes into the most intimate relationship of the family, and a doctor should be a man of character as well as learning. If the Negro doctor is not to lose the prestige and the place he has gained he might do well to watch his step!

When I Go Home I'll walk old, familiar, beaten paths And view the scenes that once in childhood Were so sweet and seemed so dear to me— The scenes my heart alone then understood, When I go home! There'll be no thought of ill or evil friend. To me, then, there'll be no ancient foe When I go home! The owl's shriek, even the crow's caw, The old black sow's squeal or the cow's low; The rooster's crow at the break of day Will be the sweetest music I know When I go home!
