Proposition Being Considered on both Side of The Atlantic
New York, Sept. 14—The General Education Board has just sent to the deans of all medical schools in the United States where there are colored students the details of an opportunity for especially qualified colored graduates to benefit by six scholarships to pay their expenses during post-granting in advanced study in such fundamental medical sciences as pathology, bacteriology, physiology, pharmacology, physiological chemistry.
These scholarships are offered by Judas Rosewald, of Chicago, and will provide expenses and support up to $1200 each as needed.
The committee in charge of the awards will consist of Dr. William H. Welch, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, chairman; Dr. David L. Edsall, dean of the Harvard Medical School, head; the Medical Department, University of Michigan, Abraham Flexner, secretary of the General Education Board, will act as secretary of the committee.
The institution at which the fellowship holder is to study and the line of work he is to pursue are subject to the approval of the committee. Appointments will be made in 1829 toward the close of the year's session, to be effective for the succeeding academic year. The fellowship stipend will be $1200; or as much thereof as needed to pay transportation from the appointment's home to the institution in which he works and back, laboratory and tuition fees, books, and living expenses.

THE STREETS OF JAMAICA
VOL. XXVIII. No. 4
U. S. MAY GET WEST INDIES
Islands To Be Offered in Payment of Englands'
War Debt
JAMAICA NOT IN IT
Staff. Correspondence.)
It has been suggested in a leading English newspaper that Great Britain code the British West Indies to the United States in order to the British war debt. It said that the proposition is being seriously considered on both sides of the Atlantic.
The British West Indies include the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Bermuda, Trinidad and Winward Islands.
Jamaica, the most important island of the group, has a population of 750,000, of whom two-thirds are coloured. Its area is 4,260 square kilometres. Kingston, its sixth one of the finest harbours in the West Indies and is well fortified. The island's chief exports are fruit, coffee, tobacco, rum and malahog.
The Bahamas next in importance are a chain of 70 rocky islands lying as was the case in the Caribbean in 1492. The Bahamas have a population of about 50,000, Nassau, on the island of New Providence, is the capital.
Lord Rothmeier, owner of the Daily Mirror and Sunday Pictorial, argues that the Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad be kept, but that the other West Indies and even British Guiana or British Honduras be offered America in payment of English工资. A large number of inhabitants of the British West Indies have already migrated to this country and they make progressive citizens.

***Closed for repairs.
When the nine o'clock bell rang last Monday morning eleven thousand, two hundred and eighty-six, (11,286) colored children presented themselves at the various city schools for enrollment. This number is nearly three thousand more than rate to receive first class, and in many sections, principals were hard, put to it to find room for incoming pupils.
Schools 112, 113 and 103 are especially overcrowded in the lower grades, and at 113, four portable buildings and four half-time classes have been necessary to care for the overflow. Mr. William Lee, principal of 103 has transferred one of his classes to the Drudg Hill avenue school, and hopes in this way to avoid establishing half-time classes.
Last minute repairs and paintings in the High School and School 115, Merryman avenue and York road, J. W. Woodhous, principal, delayed the formal opening of these schools until next Monday. The figures given above show a school in the last Monday and the first day of school last year. The table does not include clay by the addition of the new annex, and does not include School 115 which is not yet opened. By October 1st, the total will reach twelve thousand pupils. New teachers include the following: Mrs. M. L. N. Sewell, cooking 105, Beatrice Harmon; 108, Geraldine Hill; 109, Henrietta Hucles, Lawrence Queen; 112 Sadie Martin; 118, Mabel Robinson.
Washington, September 18 Through the Bureau of Economics of which Dr. George E.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD IN DETROIT
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 18—Programs have been issued for the Conference on Industrial Problems of the Negro to be held in Detroit on December 15 to 18. "What the preachers are doing and can do in a program for community development" is the subject for discussion at the Friday meeting.
COMMENDED FOR BRAVERY
New York, Sept. 13—Patrolman Samuel Battle, who sold Police Corporal A. Hayes, white, from a frenzied crowd of colored men, has been commended for bravery by his superiors and for his timely attempt to stop a plot whistle resulted from the smashing of straw huts, and shot, and killed Kiphela Golthers. The crowd realigned by beating him nearly to death, and he was saved by the crowd's fire. Battle fought off the crowd with his night light while standing over the fallen Hayes, all the white dodging bottles and articles of
On the ground that Charles J. Koch is "temperamentally unit" to fill the position of Superintendent of the City Schools, and that Mayor/Boeing cannot allow such an "apostate of fair administration" to continue his duties any longer, the A. M. E. Preatches' Meeting at its regular session on Monday, lifted a petition with His Honorate Mr. Koch asking for the resignation of Mr. Koch. The petition was signed by 23 prominent ministers, headed by Bishop John Hurst, and forwarded to the Mayor's office on Wednesday. The adoption of the petition was without a dissenting vote, followed a discussion of Superintendent Koch's interview published in last week's Afro-American. "In the Interview, Mr. Koch stated that radical colored teachers are opposed to separate meetings to hear lectures etc., that these teachers are dealing to meet with white teachers and that these teachers are back of a movement to place a colored member on the School Board. He added that colored people would do better to have representatives on the Street Cleaning force than the School Board."
The Superintendent's veiled threat against the teachers as well as his bald statement that in his opinion no colored man was fit to sit on the School Board, aroused intense anger over the city last week. The East Baltimore Community League has made arrangements to take up the matter with Mayor Browning and the Baptist and Methodist Episcopal Preachers Meetings will take it up at their next meetings.
The petition adopted by the A. M. E. ministers is as follows: "How are you Browning, Mayor of Baltimore City Hall, City:
Sir: —
An unpleasant situation has arisen in this our city, probably under your jurisdiction, to which the ministers of the A. M. E. Church through our institution,
Harry Nice Visits Easton
Easton, Md., Sept. 18—Harry Nice, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket, stopped off in Easton last week and with Gail L. Tait, addressed a number of voters at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Local voters combining with many thoughtful people of the county, formed themselves into a Gail Gibson, of this city, as president. The initial meeting was held at Ashbury Church last Thursday night and a second meeting is called for tomorrow night at Bethel Church for the enrollment of new members. The object of the club is to have a share in naming party candidates and whenever their numbers warrant insisting on the nomination and election of colored men. The officer elected vice president; Clifton Johnson, vice president; John Deshields; secretary; Wm. Gibson, treasurer; George Goldsborough, corresponding secretary. Invitation has gone out to voters in Bay Hundred, Chapell, Trappe and this city to attend these meetings.

the eloquent clipping, taken from the Afro-American, issue of the 12th inst reports an interview of that paper with Charles J. Koch. Superintendent of Schools. During this interview, Superintendent Koch has taken occasion to express an inflammatory interpretation of that paper, the scope of his oe and lending fair evidence to the suspicion that his administration is not to be of equity and honor, as it concerns the children of our twenty-five thousand constituents. He has insisted that the people of this community to "lay hands off" as it concerns the management of his department and refrain from any criticism of his careless management of colored teachers and pupils of Baltimore.
And to what end? The people may not come when white people will know how to take care of themselves."
We submit to you the fact that we are closely in touch with our people and touchsafe they are in no frame of mind to submit quietly to the authorities. The civilization of the privileges of manhood and if the riot comes, these people feel that they must acquit themselves as men and ever the consequences, the results to Superintendent Koch's dog.
They are unopposed to investigations of conditions of the Street Cleaning Force, as Superintendent suggests, but they likewise have been accused of abusing good citizens and good citizens are made to realize that their activities must touch all the avenues of citizenship even to the School Board of which Superintendent Koch is a subaltern. Those facts to you, sir, with the request that the said statement of Superintendent Koch be investigated, and if found their truth is established then Superintendent Koch thereby prove we have misused the position of Superintendent of Schools in Baltimore City. And it would seem to us that the conscience of John W. Norris, L. P. Hertzfeld, E. N. Thomas, J. R. Nelson, F. S. Holland, W. M. Wiley, J. O. C. Robert, E. Ford, Henry Thomas, Charles E.

M.E.Conference Urged To Act
Salisbury, Md., Sept. 15—Resolutions passed by the M. E. Ministers of the Salisbury District, Delaware Conference last week, call upon eleven other conferences of the church asking the General Conference of 1920 to take action concerning the securing of more equitable and peaceful relations between the races.
"May God help us as a church and as followers of Jesus Christ to awake to our sense of duty, and to enlist in the fight against race hatred and race prejudice," reads one of the resolutions, that are signed by Thaddeus McDonald, in behalf of the committee, William Palmer, president; C. S. Spriggs, secretary; J. W. Jewett, District Superintendent, T. W. Cooper, J. M. Dickerson and E. O. Parker.

He was taken to John Hopkins hospital, where occupants of the car said that he had jumped in the car and then out again, without the driver's notice.
Walter Payne Stanley Concludes Story of Experiences in East India
POOR BATHE INSTREETS
Editor's Note—This is the concluding article of "Experiences with Colored Troops in Africa and India." by Walter Payne Stanley. Arrangements are being made to have Mr. Stanley tell of his trip more fully to more audiences.
INDIA
Our ship H. T. (Hired Transport) "Ivan" left Africa October 5 and reached Bombay, India. November 5th, after one month of semi-servation and no baths.
BOMBAY, THE BEAUTIFUL
The approach to the city of Bombay, the gateway to India, is magnificent. Many miles away a huge pile attracts the attention, then great hills appear and finally a miniature sky-line. This huge pile is the Taj Mahal Hotel, perhaps the largest and best equipped in the world.
Unfortunately, I was the only "Y" man on board, the others were government employees. I, therefore was ordered to remain on board until the investigation. It was night, though, and in the general hurry and bustle incident to the landing of the others, I got my luggage together and departed to seek the Central "Y."
There was no room for me at the "Y" so I, alone, sought the "Cooler" or inborn's camp, where with my blanket I was a mess. I passed the night. Such was my entrance into India, the mysterious, beautiful, massive and philosophic.
One is attracted at once to the multitude son the streets. The poor are literally born, bathed, dressed nursed, and when older, shaved and obtain other personal demands right on the street. Frequently they are a man, a mother and her baby while they sleep on the pavement. Parses, or fire wishpers, Jap anse, Chinese, Therians, Persians, Greeks, Egyptians and of course, Indians, make up the most wonderful population one ever saw or ever wished to see. The Parses are the most tastefully dressed and are, perhaps, the most interesting as well as the most progressive in India. They are only two hundred thousand in number, most of whom live in Bombay, where they dominate the commercial sphere. They are dressed in the finest silks, drapped perfectly about their lithe and well proportioned figures, causes one to express sincere admiration whenever they are seen. The men wear western clothes—but a peculiar teri, which is very high, having a thick brim.
PARSEE BURIALS
Along the so-called skyline of Jammu and Kashmir, one hundred and fifty feet from the ground. This is the "Tower of Silence" or burial place of the Parseses. They do not cremate as do the Hindus, because they are fire worshippers, neither do they bury. On the top of the "Tower of Silence" there is a grating upon which the body, after being stripped of its burial robes, is placed. Vultures then come, and at the flesh from the body, allow the cultures to grate where they finally become part of the earth once more. It is an indefinable sensation which courses over one, as one sees the cultures circling the "Tower" when a funeral procession is near. It was my joy to meet a number among my friends some of those who are people whose religion method of burial was a barrier to firm friendship.
CROSSED INDIA TWICE
It was my good fortune to cross India twice, going from Calcutta to Bombay and then returning. Continued on Page Four.

Full-fledged Theological Institution Planned for Nashville.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 4—The sum of $500,000 is in sight to be invested in initial equipment for the full-ledged theological summary for Negroes in Nashville, provided the colored people of the city will provide an adequate building site, so Dr. C. O. L. Halley, secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention, to establish such an institution, told a mass meeting of colored Baptists of the city at the Spruce Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Of this sum $200,000 has already been apportioned by the Baptist seventy-five million dollar campaign; $100,000 will be raised immediately by the Board of Directors of the National Baptist Convention composed of Negroes and churches of the South, with the remaining $200,000 will be raised from other sources by Dr. Halley, who has been delegated by the white Baptists of the South to see the proposition through.
Negro Baptists of America propose to raise $3,000,000 in a campaign of their own during the next five years.

Not since the Rev. John R. Slattery, more than fifteen years ago, continued his alliance to the Catholic Church, has there been such an universal interest in any church in any country, be it covered by the colored people of the country in the convening of the Catholic Bishops of the United States, which will have as one of its special objects, a discussion of ways and means to promote interest in Catholic Mission. In the same way, he delivered a sermon at the time of the ordination of Rev. Father Dorsey, a colored priest, when he delivered a sermon which has since become famous. Shortly after this decision the American Catholic Church began the ordination of a reunification of all alliance to the Church by Father Slattery. This priest had devoted his life and a large personal form of service to the grand of the Catholic career, and began his career as an English Josephite. Because of race prejudice among the English Protestants, Father Slattery severed his connection with the English Society, and in 1833 conferred on him the title of "Continued on Page Three."

WILLIAMS GETS
FIFTEEN YEARS
Slayer of Pretty Elizabeth
Taylor Gets Off With
Light Sentence.
Roubin Williams was convicted
by a jury in the Criminal Court of
murder in the second degree on
Monday and sentenced by Judge
Gregoris to fifteen years in the
higher court posthumously.
The case created considerable comment some months ago, when Williams entered the home of pretty Elizabeth Taylor, said to be his sweetheart, at 1399 David Hill avenue, and after some words, shot her to death. Miss Taylor was a pupil in the high school, and an ardent church worker. Following the crime, Williams made good his escape and was taken several weeks later in a house on Maryland avenue house. He was charged with murder in the first degree and it was expected that he would be hung.
Testimony at the trial developed that no one had seen the crime but Williams, who in his own defense, declared that following a quarrel Miss Taylor had attempted to use a revolver, and in a struggle to take it from her, it was discharged, causing her death. Attorney Ephraim Jackson conducted the defense and Assistant States Attorney Smith, the prosecution.
BRIDE COLORED.

Food Sales At Schools Closed
Women of the Co-operative Civic League Responsible for Success of the Plan.
With hundreds of people in line and virtually storming the doors for entrance, the blanket and food sales at School 101 closed with a rush last Friday. By half-past ten there was not a single article of canned goods or a blanket, left and many disappointed patrons were turned away.
Failure of the Civic League, white, to turn over candy, soap and pineapple for sale in the colored schools was responsible for the small stock of goods that was on hand, which included corn, peas, tomatoes and raisins.
Branch school 106 also sold out the stock of canned goods by half past nine, although there were blankets on sale until after moon. Housewives all over the city unaware that these schools enabled them to make an impression on the High Cost of Living, were somewhat slow at first in attending the sales. The original sales at Carey Street School were only half as well attended as the later sales at Dunbar School in East Baltimore, and School 106 in South Baltimore. In the last days, sales amounting to more than $1200 were reported to Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins president of the Women's Cooperative Civic League, who was ill charge.
Besides praising the women under Mrs. Hawkins, who volunteered their services without charge, for disposing of the Government goods, housewives commented upon the fact that quite a large number of white people made purchases at both schools. At the last sale at the Dumbar school whites qualified the colored in number and at the there was a bit good matured pushing and lending for places in the line, women of the League served all who came, in turn.
It was thought at first that it might prove in line with the right of the Government against profiteers, to continue the food sales in the schools on Saturday of each week, but the opening of the Government store at the end of the month, makes the carrying out of this plan unnecessary.

Gets Certificate from Government to Answer Questions of Soldiers About Insurance.
The Afro-American has received its certificate and is now a bona fide volunteer insurance office for Government.
The object is to answer all questions that worry soldiers or relatives about their insurance. Whether you soldier boys have kept up your insurance or not, drop by the Afro office and talk it over with the Insurance Editor. Uncle Sam has the best insurance in the world.
Corporal Thomas A. Hill. $80$th recently wrote the War Risk European and forgot to furnish his address. He should forward this to the office at once.
Question—May I convert a part of my insurance and retain the remainder in its present form?
Answer—Yes. You may convert any amount from $1,000 up to $10,000 in multiples of $4,000.
Does
Question:
the converted insurance provide,
and what benefits are payable?
Answer:
It protects you in the
event you become totally permanently
disabled, and it protects
your beneficiaries in the event you
die. The benefit payable is $5.75
per month for each $1,000 of insurance that you carry, and the
payment of these monthly installments is continued for 246 months.
If, however, you become totally
permanently disabled and live longer
than 240 months, the installments will be paid to you so long
as you live and are disabled.
Question. What is the description of the political polity which the European offers?
Answer. (a) Ordinary Life Policy. On an ordinary Life policy the premiums are payable during the life of the insured, and the policy becomes due and payable at the time of the death of the insured or upon his becoming totally permanently disabled.
(ii) Twenty-payment Life Policy. On a twenty payment life policy the premium is payable only during twenty years, and the policy becomes due and payable at this time of the death of the insured upon his becoming totally permanently disabled. The difference between a twentypayment life policy and an ordinary life policy is that instead of paying premiums through his lifetime, the insured pays only for twenty years. On a thirtypayment life policy, on a thirtypayment life policy the premium is payable during only thirty years. In every other respect it is similar to the Twentypayment life policy.
(d) Twenty-year Endowment policy. On a twenty-year endowment policy the premium is payable only during twenty years. At the end of twenty years, if the insured is still living, the amount for which he is insured will be paid to him in cash and if however the insured dies becomes totally permanently disabled before the end of twenty years, the policy will become due and payable in installments.

Agness Stewart, daughter of an obscure rentos of a piece of Wild Land on the ROSEBUD INDIAN RESERVATION, becomes lost in a terrific blizzard and is saved only through the providence of his horse finding a lonely and deserted sod house. Inside, hours later, she is awakened suddenly by a cry in the night. Going outside, she finds and rescues a man, who proves to be a Negro and who, upon regaining consciousness, tells her a weird story, which in after months has a strange sequence, making this one of the most powerful Dramas of the Great American Northwest, unto which has been deeply interwoven the most subtle of all American Problems—THE RACE QUESTION.

My wife suffered from lung trouble and had three different doctors. The last was a popular white doctor residing in Baltimore, up my wife declaring that he had done all he could and in fact nothing more could be done for her. She left her caregiving, and Baltimore friend devised us to eat Dr. D. Newton E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Surgeon, and he came to Washington, October 6, 1918. In less than a month fewer and pulse reduced to normal. She and I went to Washington, she has gained more than 18 pounds since and is able to do part of her house work. Christmas I told the white nurse, I had to see my wife. He wondered and said he would take his hat off to the doctor who could do such grand work. Anyone can come see my wife if he would. 1928 15th Street, N.W. Washington, D. C.

present society of Josephine Fathers, now located at Pennsylvania Savanne and St. Mary Street, this city. After 25 years in the priesthood, Father Sutter, in a published statement in the New York "Independent" summed the results of the endeavor to convert the color race to white and the endeavor to promote vacations to the Catholic priesthood among the young colored men, with the following words: "The Catholic Church's attitude toward the deformed People is one of shrew disgust."
The stated meeting of the Catholic Bishops of the United States, week, is in response to a call issued by James Cain, a specifically dedicated the attention of the Catholic world to his dissatisfaction with the results achieved by the white priests working among the colored people. It is said to be consistent with the Church for his representation in these meetings, and we have no advice that any of the four colored Catholic priests now in the United States have been called into consultation. The colored people are interested in the deliberations of his distinguished body of Christian gentlemen is but a mild statement of the agerness which the outcome of this meeting is awaited. There can be no doubt that the colored people lost prestige among Colored people. Colored Catholics are freely advancing objection to white priests and ecclesiastical tyranny toward colored people as the chief factors in the loss of numbers and loss of presence among Colored people.
Aside from the general dissatisfaction with the treatment accorded to them by white priests in both the colored and white churches, feeling of resentment against the Catholic Church authorities has been aroused by the fact that the colored man to continue his studies at St. Marys Seminary solely 'because of color prejudice.
WHITE PRIESTS NOT ANGELS
A well known colored Catholic during the week expressed himself as being at loss for a reason why many of the Catholic clerics were not willing to treat their treatment toward colored people. He went further and remarked "all white priests are not angels. The notorious scandal emanating from the rectory attached to one of our local churches a few years ago led to the placing of young, unfit, and often innocent white priests over colored people."
DISCIPRIMATION IS COMMON.
Colored Catholics in nearly every white church in Baltimore City and many counties of Maryland, are forced to sit in rear seats or the galleries.
In many of the churches colored communicants are invited to Communion after the white people.
Most recently at Mechanicsville, Md., an Irish Jesuit, after collecting more than $1000 from the colored people, at a separate dance and picnic (for the colored people), marked with reference to sanitation, violently demanded that the most prominent colored lady in attendance stand at the mark) stand at the dance floor. Fortunately, this lady know her right in the premises, and did not leave.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GOOD
TO DIE IN.
Many of the white priests working among the colored people, perform their labor under the assent of the black people, is very good for colored people to die in. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the church, apparently, are of divine right the sole heritage of the white people. The black people, who employ white help in their recessions, it has been noted that none of the priests employ colored people in the many clerical positions by many appeals for funds constantly being sent broadcast.
CATHOLICITY WITHOUT CON-
TINCTIONS THE DEMAND
Apparently, colored Catholics are not asking favors from the Catholic Church. Catholics without conditions seem to be the need of the hour, and all indications point to the fact that the colored people will in future demand equal and exact justice from the hands of women in the Catholic Church without fear and with no desire for favors.

M mayor Browning will send to the Creek his famous "Green Bag." Just obvious bug will contain seems, up to touch in the dark, as far as the waist the holder is concerned. Not the leather colorer. He has made one of the things he most desire member of the School Board. That a member of this Board is green denoted by the remarks of the Superintendent, Mr. Koch, as attributed to use of this paper.
To the present neither the Mayor seem to have considered the color is not wise. The aforesaid "Colored through these narrowes is not in the awake to the situation if they awake to the situation of they of the colored man in the coming."
Perhaps never in the history of labor conditions more perilous present time. The great unrest which here we're drifting and no one seems to be the ultimate outcome of men in labor circles. It is time for the first thing we know the whole tumbling down around our desire to see soup kitchens with crowds of men, women and children in the police station houses with bells, clamoring for a little fuel and hoped that sanity will prevail, and to bring about stable conditions we are not just sure that this is for the colored man to take a very in labor unions. Labor unions have led to the admittance of black men in why because of the present unrest we struggle for higher and higher we have been admitted at all. The use of the Greeks bearing gifts" is as ever before. We believe we owe all this agitation and wait for us before taking a very active part in struggles. When things have come have time to look around and get it will be time enough to call will be best for us.
Mayor Browning will send to the City Council next week his famous "Green Bag." Just what this mysterious bag will contain seems, up to the present, very much in the dark, as far as the waiting would be office holder is concerned. Not the least of these is the colored voter. He has made known to the Mayor one of the things he most desires, and that is a member of the School Board.
That a member of this Board is greatly needed is evidenced by the remarks of the Superintendent of Education, Mr. Koch, as attributed to him in the last issue of this paper.
Up to the present neither the Mayor nor Mr. Tome seem to have considered the colored brother. This is not wise. The aforesaid "Colored Brother" just through these narrows is not in the humor to be are awake to the situation if they expect the be are awake to the situation of they expect the loyalty of the colored man in the coming election.
IS ANOTHER FINANCIAL PANIC COMING?
Perhaps never before in the history of this country have labor conditions been more perilous than at the present time... The great unrest which seems to pervade every strata of labor life has a tendency to upset all former traditions. No one seems to know just where we're drifting and no one seems to know what will be the ultimate outcome of this continual agitation in labor circles. It is time for my heads or the first thing we know the whole structure will come tumbling down around our cars. We have no desire to see soup kitchens with its attending crowds of men, women and children standing around the police station houses with buckets and baskets, clamoring for a little fuel and food. It is to be hoped that sanity will prevail, and an effort our forth to bring about stable conditions.
We are not just sure that this is the very best time for the colored man to take a very active interest in labor unions. Labor unions have long been opposed to the admittance of black men in its ranks and only because of the present unrest with its continual struggle for higher and higher wages, that they have been admitted at all. The old adage "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts" is as applicable today as ever before. We believe we ought to go slow in all this agitation and wait for saner days to come before taking a very active part in the present labor struggles. When things have calmed down and we have time to look around and get our bearings, then it will be time enough to conclude just what will be best for us.
MR. KOCH'S INDICTMENT
the statement of Superintendent C. J. Koch, that the colored people do better by getting representation in winning force than by urging republican School Board, comes with bad grader, who owes his position to people. Koch is head of the colored school, whose schools, and when he suggests that the system cannot train men and a position in the gift of citizens, the PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHOSE FUNCTION BOMB AND GIRLS FOR CIVIL ENGENDERSHIP, the second place, Mr. Koch's stetment of the colored race in genial states that he does not believe in colored people, and that they or the lowly walks of life. He closest that colored men and women in lahore, Atlantic City, New Jersey, D. C. are now serving on their Boards with credit to themselves to their communities. More than equacious Superintendent was taken courses in Education in Columbia School, colored men right here passed the same courses years ago, working for their bachelor's degree. Koch's statement was not made, he was talking for publication shows him to be both prejudiced and another of these quailies, inexcessible make him unfit to administer to of the city.
The statement of Superintendent of Schools, Charles J. Koch, that the colored people of the city would do better by getting representatives on the street cleaning force than by urging representatives on the School Board, comes with bad grace from an administrator, who owes his position to the will of the people.
Mr. Koch is head of the colored schools, as well as white schools, and when he suggests that the local education system cannot train men and women to hold any position in the gift of citizens, he INDICES THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHOSE FUNCTION IT IS TO TRAIN BOYS AND GIRLS FOR CIVIC DUTIES—CITIZENSHIP.
In the second place, Mr. Koch's statement is an indemnity of the colored race in general. He virtually states that he does not believe in the humanity of colored people, and that they are fitted only for the lowly walks of life. He closes his eyes to the fact that colored men and women in Wilmington, Delaware, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Washington, D. C., are now serving on their respective School Boards with credit to themselves and with service to their communities. More than this while the loquacious Superintendent was taking elementary courses in Education in Columbia University Summer School, colored men right here in Baltimore passed the same courses years ago when they were working for their bachelor's degree.
Mr. Koch's statement was not made thotlessly. He knew he was talking for publication. His remark shows him to be both prejudiced and ignorant and either of these qualities, inexcusable in themselves, make him unfit to administer the colored schools of the city.
A MINISTER IN POLITICS
insight into the attitude of their toward politics is gained from the Charles A. Tindley, pastor or Calvin A. Philadelphia, to his congregation. He said: I would open my church to ever, as asked me since I have been in Philadelphia, now have enough money to row of houses. The other day, a coal dealer, who or election at the Primaries on Tuesday coal for the church and for the parish say a word for him from this time. I was opposed to rum. I was polites. I was opposed to drive
An insight into the attitude of the successful minister toward politics is gained from the remarks of Rev. Charles A. Tindley, pastor or Calvary M. E. Church, Philadelphia, to his congregation last Sunday night. He said:
"If I would open my church to every politician who has asked me since I have been in Philadelphia, it would now have enough money to purchase a whole row of houses.
"The other day, a coal dealer, who is a candidate for election at the Primaries on Tuesday, offered me coal for the church and for the parsonage. It would say a wword for him from this rostrum. I told him, I was opposed to rum. I was opposed to machine politics. I was opposed to dirty politics, and would not do it."
two Philadelphia churches and parsonages. I said he could give it to them, but he could not give it to me."
Rev. Tindley is one of the large number of strong Negro ministers who do not believe in using the pulpit to further the ends of political graffits. The uncompromising position of clergymen like him made the overthrow of the Vare machine in Tuesday's election absolutely certain and sure.

The increased enrollment of nearly three thousand colored children in the city schools this week, makes it more imperative than ever that the public provide adequate facilities. While it is possible for the elementary schools to get along with present accommodations this year, another year's delay in acquiring larger buildings will prove nothing less than a calamity.
Transcending everything else in importance is the pititable condition of the High School. Not used at all for a large part of the summer, at the last minute, contractors begin to repaint the interior, with the result that the opening is delayed until next Monday. The increased enrollment of 100 more pupils this year than last year is something which ought not to pass unnoticed, but at the same time, it is no secret that a real High School, adequate to the need of the colored children of the city would attract just twice the number of pupils.
The following table of attendance in public high schools of other cities in 1917 makes it possible to compare Baltimore with them:
Colored Population High School
Attendance
Baltimore, Maryland $4,794 600
Washington, District of Columbia 94446 1269
Kansas City, Missouri 23566 315
St. Louis, Missouri 43960 595
Louisville, Kentucky 40522 595
Dallas, Texas 14339 243
Little Rock, Arkansas 14539 110
The above are the figures of the Federal Institute of Education, and show clearly that Baltimore is somewhat ahead of Little Rock, Arkansas; it is behind other cities in being able to attract pupils to the high school. Washington, D. C., with a little larger colored population than Baltimore, has more than twice as many children attending the high schools, while Louisville, with half as many people as Baltimore has as many children in the High School.
Perhaps the educational survey soon to be made by the General Education Board will point out the deficiencies in Baltimore's high school and out the city in a position to remedy it. Without any survey at all, we know that increased salaries and an adequate plant will work wonders. The movement towards these two things deserves the heartiest support.
PHILADELPHIA ELECTION

The regular Republief refused to endorse either candidate and the defeat of the colored in FIFTENE THOUSAND COLLECTION OUT THE REPUBLICAN OF LOST THE ELECTION by 90 voters everywhere are not good white men in office, when white pit colored men in office once election taking place in this few months the local Republic do well to profit by the P's blunder.
Anos Scottrunning for magistrate's office in Philadelphia, came in eight among ten candidates. G. Edward Dickerson, another colored candidate, for City Council from the 2nd District, ran third in the Republican Primaries in the same city.
While both colored candidates lost there is some bain in their defeat. The regular Republican organization refused to endorse either candidate. This failure caused the defeat of the colored men and it also caused FIFTEEN THOUSAND COLORED VOTERS TO CUT THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. WHO LOST THE ELECTION by 1671 votes. Colored voters everywhere are not going to keep on putting white men in office, when white men are unwilling to put colored men in office occasionally.
With an election taking place in this city within the next few months the local Republican organization would do well to profit by the Philadelphia organization's blunder.
CONSTITUTION DAY
Celebration of September 17th was marking the one hundred anniversary of that great document as wake increased respect for the land. as it is by Americans every day's contract with its citizens and that every provision should be the letter as well as the spirit. the Constitution was adopted.
The celebration of September 17th as "Constitution Day" marking the one hundred and thirty-second anniversary of that great document, ought to bring in its wake increased respect for the highest law of the land.
Viewed as it is by Americans everywhere, as the Government's contract with its citizens, it should be understood that every provision should be carried out in the letter as well as the spirit, or also erased forever.
Since the Constitution was adopted, there have been eighteen changes or amendments, at the nineteenth, giving suffrage to women in now before the legislatures of the several states. Of these amendments, at least two, the one securing the right to vote to all citizens without regard to color, and the one reducing representation when the right to vote is denied—these two, the 14th and 15th Amendments—are violated in many states of the Republic and Congress has never passed appropriate legislation to enforce them.
No one can claim that the fathers who wrote the Constitution one hundred and thirty years ago hoped that it would remain unchanged through the years of America's growth and expansion, but no one can claim that these same fathers ever expected amendments to become a dead letter, without being actually repeated. After all a Constitution that is fragmently violated is little worse than no constitution at all
"Boys shoot scraps on Boston Common," reads a newspaper headline. Although newspapers of the South would have the country believe that only colored boys shoot scraps, every one of the Boston gamesters were white.
With the satisfying of everybody who wants a plumb out of Mayor Breening's "Green Bug" and the election of a Republican governor and legislature engaging the attention of the Republican leader at one and the same time, it would seem that there is a mighty big job out for someone.

Mr. Lackyo Quotes "Crusader" to Prove That Cardinal Showed More Interest in Booze Than in Human Lives.
Mr. Editor:
To Mr. Royal C. Addison, who did Business "Cardinal Gibbons. I would like, to say that there is needed more "undignified bigot" to be used in fighting the plot to bring the new world to a social decadence as has been caused upon Spain and Mexico where Roman Catholicism holds supreme power.
More than three years ago, the Free Press Defense League handed to President Wilson and every Senator and Representative in Congress, a statement in writing, of secret intrigues of Cardinal Gibbons, for Mexico, and other prelates of Rome, for the overthrow of the Carranza government by violence.
This statement was written in the Menace, an anti-Catholic paper, published in Aurora, Missouri. No longer allowed to circulate through the mail.
Says the September Crusader in speaking of "Gibbons" opinion of the recent race riots; "The only from the front of the Church was uttered by Cardinal Gibbons, who, not deigning to denounce the injustices heaped upon the Negro, showed more interest in "booze" than in human lives, and advocated legislative suppression of intoxicating drinks is not, as it was said, to be a pannace against all moral and social evils, which comment he supplemented with some drilled truth. Capitalism was labors best friend." What has Mr. Addison to say about this? "of the cross, the "holiness" of Cardinal Gibbons, and the groundless facts in favor of Roman Catholicism by Mr. Addison, cannot keep William Lackye from speaking the truth, nor can it lead Negroes of America to immigrate slavery in the dismuse of religion.

Rev. Bragg Wants Colored Assistant Superintendent of Schools, and Colored Member of School Board as Well.
I am not disposed to object to separate meetings, on racial lines, of the public school teachers of Baltimore and Washington, however in itself, but in keeping with our present policy of operating the public schools. If we had the "mixed" schools, then it would naturally follow that the meetings of teachers of Baltimore and Washington
It has been judged most helpful to the interest of both races to maintain "separate" schools. I am thorough in preparing for the interest of the opposite race. I likewise seek to the best interest of both races. Separate meetings, for teachers, on racialities for cognitive and others purposes naturally follow the same pattern of taking my own convictions. I am rather disposed to command Superintendent. Koch for the realization of the separate meeting of colored teachers and to ensure that it would be brought into contact with a body of teachers of the other race unless it would be mutually pleasant for both. This entered separation on racial lines is with the intention of ensuring that the separation is a colored assistant Superintendent, and other supervisory officers. There is to getting away from such a conclusion. For the same reason, I am not interested in the best interest of both races to maintain separate schools equally obtain all along the line. Generally colored people develop all along the line, and satisfactorily, in their own organizations than as an appendage to organizations dominated by people of the opposite race. I am not interested in your service.
When we come to the School Board itself we face an entirely different proposition. This is a direct arm of government and administration to which the allegiance of the black people as a whole is given, was called into being to emphasize and assist in the realization of absolute civil equality legislation which it saw fit to adopt it is distinctly there stated that no one should be denied the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in the School Board. The School Board are appointed directly by the Mayor of the city. If a colored man can be found with all the qualifications requisite for service on the Board,
understand how any one having the appointing power, and who thoroughly believes in the principles of the Republican party can deliberately refuse to appoint a man because he is a small number as such, or to small a number as such, requiring the highest education, culture, and experience, a cultivated man of the color of a white man, to follow worker with respect to the education of the whole community; then truly Republican principles amount to nothing. Whether the one number of white men appointed upon our Board of Education, or not, lies entirely with one whose every public utterance, with respect to some death for all, would dispose of, is not the realization of such seemingly sincere expressions. I am hold to affirm that if the people appointed of cultivated white men are appointed on the School Board, and a colored man of the same quality, and good breeding, is likewise appointed to a fellow member, so far from raising the genuine measure to all concerned.
For more than eighteen years, the writer has been, annually, re-elected a member of a certain board, all of the electors being, all white. This continued re-election tell its own story. One of the members of that board is
the present Clerk of the Court of Appeals, a Democrat. A more aple courteous, and charming man, it would be difficult to find. In fact, he would have to have two and twenty have. I continuously sustained such association, and fellowship, and it is almost a label to intimate that high class southern gentlemen sustain such association in such matters, with a well bred colored man of gentleness instincts.
GEORGE P. BRAGG, JR.
Cook on Board U. S. S. Bridgesport now in France, Says Colored 'T Women Were a Credit to This Country.
To the Editor:
I have been stationed on this side since January 24th, 1911$^a$ and have taken a copy of the Afro I have sent it to me every week. In the Afro of August 8, 1919, I saw a sketch painting to the Colored Y. M. C. A. women who come to France, where they were permitted to come to France or "IT" workers were not received by the lower class$^b$ of French women, but by the higher class, as EQUALS$. I have had the pleasure of meeting Y. M. C. A. women while they were in this country and through them I have met a number of good French families that some of our officers cannot meet, as one must be introduced to a good French before they become acquainted.
I can truly and safely say that the lower class of French people are the only ones who have tried to be American, the only colored Americans, and the reason for this is because the lower class of French are the only ones who will associate with the white American that tries to put the French people against the colored people. Even though I am not a colored man, I can be inducted into putting some of the lower class of French people against the colored Americans, there is not one colored American—man or woman—who is a disgrace to America as some of the white Americans in the eyes of the French nation.
Respectfully yours

To the Editor:
Northern Negroes, who continually try to discuss the problem of the Southern Negro would do far better if they would stop for a while and look at the community in which they live, for the Southern Negro is far better off than the Northern Negro. It is time that the Northern Negro awake from consciousness and look around himself. The Southern Negro represents more than a cigar and a white newspaper.

Does Egotist know that should his advice be followed, that he would be some of the first refuse to be gathered by the police? Precludes inciner, do you want to spoil the fair name of this our most beautiful city as others of your like have in others cities which have and still do not. The next thing that you have the nerve to stand up before the most - Honorable School Board, at least be game enough to tender your resignation, and then go some distance to work with them as preparing to waste the time of real people by during to utter such disgrace, anti-bellum, cracker-like, remarks in the form of defamations. Remember that you are not only, and not for it, the victim.
Are you going to resign? or do you have to be thrown out? In that you do not seem to know it, I tell you and am not trying to at least to impress you with my knowledge, but I know that now is no time to be, causing ill harmony, because this company is just out of the throes of a conflict with fatties of your kind. By this time you must know that the sensible person is not going to be mapping out a plan from where by they can request your removal through and by the proper action. One oddity which I notice is the fact that you time all of your references to hospitality, and I wonder whether you would be willing to face a real two fisted man of the race which you held in such context and there own to man, reinforce the status to be held by them. If we are so detainable, why is it that you continue to remain where you know perfectly well that you will be called upon continually to be in contact with the person, and fact that you are only a servant of the people, placed in that position by mistake as they all see by you; placed there to enlighten and not to helpless. In the mean time you can slip through the justice of entitlement ever takes as it sillly will. Yes I mean resign.
I am a firm believer in the United States and everything appertaining there unto me. Of comes my hat to the United States, and of comes my hat to you? Does yours? or do you hide behind your position in this, as you do yours? Remember that the present is the result of the past, and that the future will be the result of your present. As you go be sure to read the 16th, and of the Constitution of the U. S. A.

Rockville, Md., Sept. S—Failure
of Richard Gonus, a respected and
respectable colored resident of
Pooleville district, this county, to
state in a "help wanted" ad-
tribution that he is a colored man
is causing him a lot of trouble and
offence.
A few days ago, Genus, who is a widower, advertised in the Washington papers for a housekeeper to take care of his home and his children. In answer to the advertisement a middle-aged white woman traveled the way the Genus at home after the Genus wasn't at home, but the woman learned that he was colored and she left in disgust.
As soon as she got back to Washington the woman wrote a hot letter to her husband, and that he remit her at once the amount she had spent for carfare and expenses of her trip, with some thing added to salve for her in-
This was the beginning of Genus troubles. He sent her at once enough to cover her actual expenses, which was about half the amount she demanded. This did not answerking receipt of the letter and remittance, demanded a much larger amount than she had asked for in the first communication. As she included in her letter, a threat to prosecute Genus if he failed to comply with the order, worried quite a lot. Coming to the conclusion that he would have to call a lawyer, he consulted counsel here and passed the buck to the attorney. He is now anxiously awaiting the outcome of his own effort to obtain a housekeeper.

AN OLD MARYLANDER
In a recent issue of the New York Tribune, Benjamin A. Arnold, a old Marylander, condemns the poor school facilities in Baltimore and gives the colored newspapers the credit for the new spirit that is taking hold of the population. In part he says: "I know from experience that Negroes are not anxious to send the children to schools with white children to separate schools the Negro schools are neglected. Take, for instance, Baltimore, with its large Negro population and one old-style poorly equipped high school. One year Mississippi gives $326.5 million for white children to $190.0 million Negro children. Is it any wonder that Northern Negroes look with disfavor on any movement for separate schools in their States?
NEWSPAPERS ACTIVE.
"While newspapers were here few colored newspapers to be found in rural communities; the country Negro was pretty well satisfied with his condition. The com- munity's newspaper, with its counties, had murders, and burnings, not to mention the thousands of cases of discrimination against the colored man because he is colored, has made the gritter and contented colored people more aware of their white neighbors and dillied them with a desire to go to the cities, where they may earn more money, have better schools for their children, that they will have the protection in short; where they may be treated as other American citizens."
PEOPLE EAT SLEEP AND
It takes a man
With a CONSCIENCE
Awfully good and clear.
If his heart doesn't stop
And his pulse doesn't jump
When a bluecoat pulls his bell.
All of the WRONGS
That he has ever done
Stand sharply in his mind
And he wonders which one
Has been broached to the cop
And HOW MUCH
Will be the fine.
ANYHOW
We were coming down
From Philly
In the kind of "fliver,"
Henry Ford made famous
In spots the road was good,
And I let her out
Till we were doing forty.
And nearing forty-five,
And we had not struck

Or a turkey.
Ralph Tyrer Condemns "Marse...George" advice of Dr. Robert R. Moton.
It must be especially pleasing to our thousands of brave colored soldiers who have Fetished the fought sacrifice of fought democracy for themselves and posterity, to continue being edified by Principal Moton's "Marse George" advice and interviews. It must be cared for by our brave boys are sleeping in French soil, where they fell mangled and torn by shrapnel, to read Principal Moton's continued excuses for Souther brutality and denial of right. It must be gratified by our expanded colored corps who have returned from France minus a leg, an arm, an eye—permanent cripples, to read Principal Moton's panegyrics of Southern white men whose bravery discriminations, to stand than the drum from German guns.
In his recent interview, sent out from Tuskegee, he reminds us to be kind to his old idols, that he "never knew a time when the white people of the South were more anxious than at present to be absolutely fair and just to
Principal Moton's apologies may tickle the bourbon South—it may even cause shocklets to flow into the city, but it cannot tickle the red blood colored American who fought on bloody battle fields for rights and which he is still donied. This is no time for "Marse Gawge" colored would-be leaders. 400,000 colored men who were called to the cities who glory in them, are in no mood for apict apologies.

That scrambled along
In a hurry
Out of the way.
As we whizzed by.
I had not seen a cop
Or a colored person.
For FIFTY MILES.
When down at the bottom
Of a long, smooth hill
A BLUE COAT
Walked out in the road
And held up his hand
TO STOP.
With a heavy heart.
I put on the brakes
And stopped the car.
In my mind
Was a full length picture
Of myself in the Traffic Court,
Charged with
"Exceeding the speed limit."
So I opened the door
And the cop crawled in
And asked me
If I would mind giving him a
LIFT
Down to the next cross-roads.

scoping at Alababad, Nasik, two
of the holy cities. At Devilh,
meaning "Red Devil," I remained
one month, recuperating from the
African fever.
At Dervall, it was my privilege and joy to bless the Christmas dinner of rice, curry, with a plantain leaf as a plate, and to distribute the gifts to the Indian Christians. It was here that I met two former high castle Indian ladies corted them to the fair. If young ladies are scarce in Baltimore, I advise the young men to go to Indian LOBOMB AND CALCUTTA
There is keen rivalry between the people of these cities, relative to the general superiority. Bombay, is a native city, pure and simple. The massive buildings as exemplified in the University, Museum, Postoffice, Railway Station and Municipal Market, native art, language of the native customs, all are marvelous. The city is fascinatingly beautiful.
Calcutta is distinctly European. The plan of the city, Postoffice, Government buildings, trains, (two sets instead of one as in Bombay) show the European touch. I like Calcutta. It felt more like Philadelphia. While there, two months I lived in a former Bishop's palace. All of the houses had a garden. They are built around courtyards, cricket fields, fountains and flower pots. One wonders why so much beauty is denied the public. The houses are of course built with flat roofs, used in the morning and evening for prayer, meditation and frequently parties.
THE COLOR QUESTION.
I ate at the Taj Mahal, the largest hotel in India. Culture and money are the sesame, unless the American white man appears. I had six of them, Y. A. C. A. to make a public discourse because I was sitting at their table, or rather, desiccated table. It was ever this, they tried Jim Crowson in Africa and tried it in India.
Mr. Richards, the General Secretary, an Englishman, refused to move me and my fellow worker, Mr. Lloyd, and reported the matter to the Indian National Council. The Council sustained him and requested INQUIRIES. I was appointed by National Council to work in Devalk, but the Itev. Hamilton, of Hamilton, Ontario, refused to give permission on the grounds that my color prevented. I remained long enough to disprove his statement. I was instructed to "for duration of war" was fulfilled. I applied to the National Council for passage.

Cook took me a reservation and after I
had ridden over one hundred miles
to catch the boat, cancelled it

I lost my passage because I was a

to Sawyer Home for a position

W. E. D. Ward, financial secretary, worked faithfully. Finally I caught a cargo ship, S. I. City of Birmingham, bound from Calcutta to Boston. The Captain, officers and men treated me royally, where many floating mines added to the danger. In God's providence we avoided them all and the trip was interestingly enjoyable. Red Soa, M.

Oklahoma Promoter Puts up Biamond Trophy for Best Heavyweight
Tusia McClain, Sept. 1—There will be a colored heavyweight champion of the decade in matter when Jack Johnson is better by a pound than not. The title man—when Jack Johnson won the championship from Terry Burns in Australia and lost it again to Jess Williams in Hawaii, Cuba, in 1915. For a period of six years, the colored fighter was supreme, and if Jack Johnson had not been into serious competition with the United Government, it might have been for a much longer period. Willard refused to battle the colored man after winning the title from Johnson, and so far, Dempsey has maintained that he will refuse to match a colored man for the championship. Therefore, Billy McClain a wealthy colored promoter of Oklahoma, has decided that the colored face will have a colored heavyweight championship of its own.
McClain for the holding of the big tournament at Tusia, between colored men only—a sort of elimination affair—the final winner to be crowned champion.

Concerning Your-Hair. The Invention of an Expert Chemist.
You probably have tried all sorts of remixes on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become disacred and lost شاين. In the same way, I have remained in thousands of others, like yourself, highly turned to using Sceby's Quinade, and have been pleased with the result. They would never again waste their money using anything less.
Quinade is not ordinary pomade. It is highly medicated and as a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates the hair and nourishes the roots, saun-drenched growth of the starglaun hair, it will make course stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put in the style desired. Quinade will positively delay itching of the scalp and grounding when the root cause of most hair and scalp troubles. It is to get best results from the use of Quinade, as scalp made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinade soap fathers very freely and is a thorough and unclarified, and the hair and inparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalised by any other shampoo.
Inside, on getting Sceby's Quinade and Quinade, asking for them by their fall names, Free 25 cents each, it your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his whole-mercy or your own time, and the other and we will mail them to you direct.

SELLING YOUR SPARE TIME
SELLING YOUR SPARE TIME
He is employed by the Government—in what capacity, we are not going to say, but he was not satisfied to throw away his spare time and so concluded to sell it. His little boy was making from a dollar and a half to two dollars a week, and he thought if the boy could do that well, maybe he also could afford to get in the game. He bought a pair of twelve dollars per week out of his SPARE TIME and then has time for recreation besides. He says this is a good thing and there is possibility of doing a great deal better. And so between father and son they are handling about fifteen dollars a week ALL EXTRA MONKEY, SELLING HIS SPARE TIME.
What are YOU doing in your spare time? Why don’t you investigate this matter and see if it is worth while to take a shot at a proposition that will turn you in from $10 to $15 a week and at the same time hold on to your own job. Look’s easy doesn’t it? Well it is easy. Any young man or woman who reads this and thinks well of it would do well to call at the Afro-American office, 628 North Entuaw street and talk it over with the Circulation Manager. It will not cost you a penny to investigate. LOOK INTO IT FOR YOURSELF.
