City tative Ti U.S. Tinkham Hits At Cracker Rule Representative Asks Congress To Investigate Disfranchisement In The South Must Either Remedy Evil Or See An Appeal Carried To The Supreme Court Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.—The opening gun in the battle in the House of Representatives to reduce representation in the Southern states was fired Monday by George Tinkham, Representative of Massachusetts, who introduced into the House a resolution authorizing the Committee on the census to inquire, respecting the extent to which citizens of the United States are denied the right to vote. It is known as House resolution, number 594. Representative Tinkham quotes the following figures on Congressional elections in 1918 to show how disfranchisement in the South works: Alabama, 62,345 votes, ten representatives in Congress, Minnesota has the same number of representatives but polled 290,127 votes. California with 644,790 votes is not allowed eleven representatives in Congress, while Georgia with 59,196 votes is permitted twelve representatives. Louisiana and Kansas both elect eight representatives to Congress, but Louisiana casts only 44,000 votes, while Kansas casts 425,621 votes. South Carolina sent seven representatives to Congress and polled a vote of 25,453. 216,014 people voted in Nebraska and elected six representatives. "If Congress adopts a reapportionment bill which is plainly unconstitutional by avoiding enforcement of the 14th amendment," said Mr. Tinkham today. "It is my intention to question the constitutionality of the election of the next House of Representatives by legal process and appeal to the supreme court for a determination of these great questions and the restoration of political equality and justice in the United States." day 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. 6-9 p. m.

J., Dec. 9.—Jersey City's colored population was in an uprise this week following the announcement in the evening papers of Monday, that all colored people of Jersey City were to remain in their homes after nine P. M., and the police were to arrest those disregarding the curfew measures. In spite of the order respectable citizens of principal organizations met at the home of Dr. Goo, W. Cannon and demanded the chief's immediate resignation. Their prompt action led the police chief immediately to recall his order. Quite a ripple among organizations of colored citizens, both in Jersey and New York, was caused by the stories of the Chief's order. Various influential Years made demonstrative statements. At the Jersey City Police Headquarters the telephone wires were hot with queries from colored folk who were anxious to know whether they would be arrested if they sauntered out into the city. What Chief Battershy says, "help said is that a series of recent crimes in which Negroes injured made it a necessary for policemen to stop "susicious looking Negroes" at night. From an authoritative source, however, it was learned that the curfew order was actually issued, but immediately rescinded, to Chief Battershy denies this also-that lately. F Dr. Cannon said that the Chief's u- denial did not alter matters. He c said that the more fact that "sus-g- precious looking Negroes" would be stopped was an affront to his race, t Hours 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. Saturday 4 % ON SAVING 3 % on Checking Accounts with 323 W.

West Indian "Likker" Said To Have Caused Downfall Of American White Soldiers NATIVES TEETOTLARS Associated Negro Press Port Au Prince, Dec. 9. "Eye Witness," the special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who has been giving careful observations of conditions in Haiti, has declared that drunkenness is at the bottom of most of the trouble in the republic, but the drunkenness is among the white foreigners, some officials, and not the natives. His statement is most remarkable, and he says: "After a fortnight of patient and often disheartening observation of occupation affairs I am convinced that a great part of the story of our troubles may be told in three letters. They are R-U-M. To an American planner I said: 'I am beginning to think that more than 50 per cent of all these soundals are due to drink.' The answer was, 'More than 50 per cent.' During a fortnight in this black republic's capital I have not seen one black man intoxicated. All the intoxication has been among white foreigners, and sometimes even officials.

For O Enforce Out Of T Everything Goes In Tia Juana William Pickens Finds Mexican Town Across The Border "A Little Hell" AMERICANS TO BLAME Nothing To See Well Dressed Women Lying In Gutters Of Streets The Associated Negro Press San Diego, Calif., Dec. 9.—William Pickens, the noted owner, is still being greeted enthusiastically by the people of this section of the country. His address here, a few nights since, made an instant hit. Yesterday he made a flying trip to Tia Juan, Mexico, just across the border. He accounts his experiences of the trip. "Tia Jamaa is a picturesque littoral town with a lot of men standing around looking like Villa or members of Villa's old army. I have not looked up the meaning Tia Jamaa in the Spanish dictionary, but it ought to be HELL; for since the United States wont dry it has concentrated within itself all the gambling, whisky and loose women of Southern California. It is "wide open" with police protection standing around in the shape of "Villista" looking policemen. It is said that the governor of this Mexican province has been getting $40,000.00 a month for allowing this crisis to American vice. Things that have been out-lawed in most parts of the United States, are concentrated; every gambling device from amber-colored dice up to the great wheels and turning boards and automatic machines—all calculated to keep more dollars than they turn loose. "It is pronounced something like Tee-ah-wan-nah, and — Negro comedian said San Diego: "They have good Tee over their and Aw-wn-nah go back!" And American dollars do it all—not a Mexican dollar in sight. And all the wasted women are Americans. They stand and gamble at the roulette wheel or the dice table with the roughest men. There were no Mexican women and just one colored American woman. There were all sorts of men. What does this mean?—Well-dressed and wearing diamonds these women go into all the drinking and gambling places on equality with the men—and they seem fascinated by it. They clap their hands and jump up on their toes when they with a little snack of money. None of them seem to need the money; they seem to like the life. "On one of the streets is advertised in big letters 'Jack's Place.' It is where Jack Johnson made his "just stand." You remember he hold out against the United States longer than Germany. Tia Juana is the last place where he conducted a sort of cabaret before he surrendered. No wonder he preferred a jail in Illinois. For the sordidness of this little copy of hell must have a man with the tastes of Jack. "I remarked about the awfulfulness of this Sodom, and a man replied: "O, it's like Sunday school here today. You ought to see it at its worst. We generally have more women here than we have men today—and most of them drunk—many in the gutters—the fine dresses and all. "And mind you, this thing, tho in Mexico, is AMERICAN! American men running most of the gambling places.—Americans furnishing most of the gamblers.—American women flaunting all of the shame—and the American eagle on the American dollar spreading his pinions over all this little hell."

STORK BROUGHT TWINS TO PROTESSOR HAWKS' HOME Professor Hawks of 1412 Martin street, is the happy father of a pair of twins boy and girl, born Sunday, December 5th. When questioned by the writer Tuesday afternoon Professor Hawks said, "My wife took Herbs Of Life with good results after she had suffered for some time with female trouble. These are our first children and we are telling everybody about Herbs Of Life." The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Every woman at this time should rely upon Herbs Of Life, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organismo. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Herbs Of Life makes women and men normal, healthy and strong and this good old fashioned roiot and herb remedy contains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

Garveyism Is Religion Now "White Man's Religion" Said To Be Unsuited Because It Requires Belief In A White God OPPOSED BY CLERGY Head Of Movement Said To Have Gained Friendship Of Only 20 Per Cent New York, Dec. 9. That eighty per cent of the Negro clergy in America are opposed to Marcus Carvey is a statement of Truman Hughes Talley, white, in a current number of the "World's Work Magazine." In spite of this opposition, however, says Mr. Talley, Marcus Carvey, head of the American Negro Improvement Association, of the Black Star Line of Steamers and various other corporations, has a following of more than 4,000,000 persons larger than the membership of all the colored depopulations in the United States. Carvey called the "white man's religion" unsettled for Negroes because it required Negroes to believe in a white God, a white Christ, a white Heaven and even white Angels. Carvey's ered called for a purely Negro religion, "with God as a being, not as a creature, but in so far as it interprets that the Source of a Creation is shown him made in our own language." "Various historians have been cited by Carvey to support his conception that Christ was in flesh. Aside from the question of the color or Deity, Carvey declared that the white man's missionaries have been but the advance agents of slave hunters, rum solvers, and exploiters who have despoiled Africa and ruined our racial heritage." "Eighty per cent of the Negro clergy in America is still opposed to Garvey, due, his supporters assert, largely to the fact that they rely upon white clergy, white precept, and even white tolerance for their existence, and that they fear in the promulgation of this inconsolidate creed not only the withdrawal of white support but the unity and hostile actions of the entire majority American race." "Then too, it is pointed out, the Negro clergy see in Garveyism a dangerous rival of and imminent substitute for the religion they have been preaching, in that his preaching has aroused an enthusiasm and a zeal for inexcess of any known display of religious favor. Garveyism is, in fact, a sort of social religion in the teaching of which he has by his evangelical persuasiveness made worshipful converts of the millions who now follow him and profess his creed." "One, of Garvey's supporters, himself a Negro clergyman, leveled a telling remark a the opposition clergy when he asserted that the continued preaching by Negroes of the white man's religion of tolerance, equality, and reconciliation was the height of absurdity when one resulted that the nineteen hundred years of professed adherence to the religion of the Nazareth had failed to move the white man to accord his hand in any honest gesture of equality to the black race." "Garvey to date his won about 20 per cent of the Negro elergy to his standard, among that total bearing many influential preachers in important and wealthy congregations. The winning of any portion of a elergy traditionally established in one religion over to a brand new combination of racial, economic, and religious cresis is indeed, indicative of the power of the man." N. C. GOVERNOR APPOINTS COMMISSION Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 3—Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, N. C. and S. G.

I could hardly get around at all. One bottle of Earl's Hypo-Cod helped me so much I took three and it built up my appetite, revived my lost strength and drove away a case of nervousness which I had for seven years. I heard about this tonic through a couple men I know who built themselves up after the "Fif" with it," declared R. P. Anderson, Farmer at the Hyattsville, Md. National Training School for Boys. "My relief was so complete I never felt better in my life. My daughter-in-law after a spell of sickness developed a cough which the doctor couldn't seem to help I told her to stop the doctor and take Hippo Coco which did and about to do not know whether she took more than two bottles or not—she got rid of that cough and is as strong and well as she ever was. I could mention others I've known to be helped with this wonderful tonic, but what is the use—People can easily find out that they can bottle just like I did" continued Mr. Anderson, who at the age of 78 looks and works like a young man. Thousands of men and women are stronger, healthier and vigorous and thank Hypo-Cod for it. Professor Early asserts it is the most powerful reconstructive tissue made. Druggists endorse it and its formula is one endorsed by leading physicians all over America. The bottle bears name of the nationally known Co. which is a guarantee of finest quality.

Church Property BROOKLYN PASTOR WOULD ADD THREE PARISH HOUSES AND AN APARTMENT HOUSE Brooklyn, N. Y. Dec. 9—If the plans of Rev. Hugh Proctor of the Congressional Church are carried out this city will have a $2,000,000 church property. There are 280,000 Negroes in New York and Dr. Proctor is trying to build them a social center, the land for which has cost $2,000,000. There will be a church to seat 2,000 persons, three parish houses and apartment houses for Negroes with families now barred from home life because of restrictions against children by New York property owners. He says the Negro is opposed to race suicide. One Negro family in the South sent 18 sons to the World War. "I take of my hat to the Jews," said Dr. Proctor, "for they are the race of the past. I take of my hat to the Anglo-Saxon for they are the race of the present and I take off my hat to the future. The colored man is largely in the majority of the earth's inhabitants. The Chinaman and Iap, the Indian and the Turk is a colored man and the African has color to spare. Why shouldn't the colored man be the race of the future once he is educated and brought under discipline?

FRIDAY, DEC. 10, 1920 BRAZIL IS A REAL PARADISE Company Organized To Secure Colored Men With Capital To Go To South America NO RACE PROBLEM White, Black And Red Races Live On Bases Of Equality The Associated Negro Press Chicago, Dec. 9.—Because of the widespread interest in the possibilities of living in South America the Associated Negro Press has held a series of interviews with George Rambo, a man of our group that has been a member of that continent, with amazing stories of what colored people may accomplish. "Early in the summer of 1920," says Mr. Rambo: "in company with two Chicago and one West Virginia gentleman, I made a trip from New York to Rio De Janeiro on one of the English ships plying the Atlantic. We heard many wonderful stories of the greatness of that country. But nothing we had heard, it developed, were equal to things we saw. "Brazil is a republic, the constitution and law making bodies being very similar to those of the United States. A law abiding foreign has the same privileges and in many respects is given in laws, except the right to vote. Voting can be acquired after a residence of two years in the republic. "Brazilians, without regard to race or color, are as one big family standing together on grounds of absolute equality of opportunity. There are no distinctions what ever, other than those imposed by culture or position. The people is the universal love of their country. "We saw foreign people from the mediterranean countries of Europe, who has been there only a year; of taking it, and it has been the best of them." by this effort in that land of and that I do not say this and in cement for the lazy and and in a cold country nature provides grudgingly, that in Brazil everything grows in great tide and the streams are full of fruit, fruits and herbs may be gathered almost everywhere any day of the year. Two and three crops are harvested. Since no con and few clothes are needed for parents, it is no wonder that the appressed and half starved of other lands and reasons for repolicing, and codores, and I was especially a note to note the beauty of the family life. As a father and husband, the Brazilian man has few equals. Divorces are practically unknown, and the growup married children generally live with the parents. I have seen families with children, the children and grand-children. The Rodas rule their families with love rather than the Rod. "I think the courts are fair, and if anything, inclined to lenency. I saw only one man arrested, and that for intoxication—within two hours the same man passed me in the street and smiled. "Even slavery was never cruel and harsh in Brazil. The relation of slave to master was much in the nature of a hired servant. They belonged to the same church, observed the same feast days, and often married into the family of the master. Today the same fraternal order exists. Emancipation day together. It is a national holiday like our Fourth of July. "The country is fortunate in having no deep national wounds to heal. There is no division of the country caused by difference of opinion on the slave question. The people who were freed by universal common consent, without shedding a drop of blood. Brazil, it will also be remembered, secured independence from Portugal without blood-shed. Such a country and such people have a great future. The people are invited to participate in the upbuilding of a great nation in Brazil. I hope my people in this country will see the wonderful opportunities offered them. Read books, and study maps concerning the country. It is not advisable for people to seek for location without becoming larger and equipped for work of a high technical character. "Expert accountants, stenographers, scientists in medicine, dentistry, engineering are in demand. As all new countries, Brazil is largely an agricultural and mining country. Employment in the cities in not so easily obtained. Brazil wants people to settle in the country districts. There has been organized a syndicate composed of prominent Brazilians and American colored men to point the way for those who wish to pioneer. This syndicate has a capital of $800,000 with offices in Chicago and Rio de Janeiro. American Colonization Syndicate land of 'excellent quality, well imbued,' good water, can be bought at about four dollars an acre. In 2500 acres tracts, Corp. beans, rice, and all other crops yield at least two crops a year. South American countries have possibilities in agriculture. Ask Readers To Urge Present Session To Pass An Anti Lynching Bill N. A. A. C. P. ACTIVE Will Not Wait For Harding's Inauguration To Push Legislation Associated Negro Press New York, Dec. 9- The terrible extent to which lynching is taking hold of the United States, is set forth in a special appeal by James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, N. A. A. C. P. through the Associated Negro Press. Two days before Thanksgiving Day a Mississippi mob battered down the doors of a courtroom, seized a prisoner who was being tried at a special term of the court, and dragged him at the end of a rope tied to the rear of an automobile, minding that he would be killed by ridding it with bullets. On Thanksgiving Day a New York newspaper published the following headline: "Lynch Negro By Mistake" "Georgia Posse Shoots Brother of Man Who Killed White." In Mississippi the sanctity of a courtroom was violated. In Georgia the man was brutally murdered. No one will be punished for participation in these or the fifty other atrocities which have disgraced the United States before the world in 1920.

The little volume "Men of Maryland" would greatly help the historical knowledge of many who seem to know very little of their race. The race, in Maryland, sustained an honorable historical record long before Lincoln's domination proclamation. free then of age, and who certain amount of property. Under this constitution there were quite a number of men who exercised the right of franchise under the constitution of 1819 the suffrage was strictly limited to white men. A considerable number of free blacks owned small houses, and pieces of land. Some of the banks received deposits from free blacks. In Annapolis there were several black depositors, and one owned shares of the bank stock.

OPPORTUNITY NO.1 AFRO GIVES ITS READERS CHANCE TO HELP WORTHY CAUSE There is a very interesting family living in a small house on a street where the front and back entrance are the same. All is back yard to them, yet they try and keep their home clean and cheerful. I am sure you will agree to the family being interesting, when we state that the mother and father are deaf and dumb. There are five children, two of whom are twin boys. The two older children have never gone to school until this year, although they are several years past the age when children are supposed to enter school. Their teacher reports them bright pupils and delighted with their progress. The father earns ten dollars a week, a us a shoe black. This is not enough to supply food and fuel, and pay the rent for a family of seven. There is a new baby which handicaps the mother. Twenty-five dollars will supply the boys with clothing for school.

JAMES MALE BENEFICIAL SOCIETY AT ITS MONTHLY MEETING DEL 6, 1920 WILLIAM H. WEAVER, DOCTOR IN OVINITY, 1855-1920 The late William H. Weaver, Doctor in Divinity, one of the obest, and most honored, members of St. James Male Benedictal Society, in Baltimore, was Availing himself of such school advantages as were possible, at that time, he soon developed a thirst for increasing knowledge, and he attended University, Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1878. Returning to his native city, he at once set to work in giving forth from the store of his acquisitions to the great benefit and purpose of the time, few were the men of color, in our various pulpits, who could lay claim to a liberal education. The scarcity of such well trained men opened up an usual opportunity of self-service church service, but he was not slow in attaining a conscious place of leadership in the general educational awakening. As Pastor of Madison St. Presbyterian Church, this city, he came immensely popular through his elopement and devoted interests in all He simulated an educational and cultural spirit in the community, which showed itself in the public forums which were so successfully conducted among the race, and, also, in the ing an urgent desire to bring young colored men for liberal education and fit them for service to their race and community. Quite few such young men, a number of whom are today among the most successful and useful professional men our key, through his efforts, are sent to Lincoln University where they completed a regular course course. During the Postmastership of the late W. W. Johnson, of this city, Dr. Weaver occupied the responsible position of Assistant Custodian of the United States Building. His labors were most valuable in connection with the launching of the Colored High School, and in securing positions, as teachers, for many young men and women; and also with respect to securing positions for members of the race in connection with the Federal government.

His contract included for $1500 for his services as coach, payable in advance. As soon as he received the money, students say, Pollard sign- ualized with an Akron, Ohio professional football team and thereafter agreed not more than three days week coaching the football squad or Lincoln. Pollard's team played regular in Akron and other Ohio towns, excessitating his leaving Lincoln day or Saturday and not return- ing before Tuesday or Wednesday, and for this work he received us a come. gh as $1.00.

C. basketball team went down to beat a score of 40-30 last Saturday evening. The clever and balanced Alcoes team from Washington were again able to hold their record of last year. They turned to Washington with a view from the "Y" Big Five. The game was fast and exciting through, and the playing of both teams caught yells and applause from local and enthusiastic rooters. The "Y" were first to score; theomon fighter, Scrapy, was first to capture a basket—Armstrong followed with another—things looked onising for the local team but the guards failed to be checked and Alcoes started to score and are able to keep it up. Tibbs tried for the Alcoes and Morris for a close second. The clever or work of Tibbs, the big center, is admired by all. The clever and Sam Wilson starred in the local Five. Scrapy showed time form and was a menace the visitors both on defense and sense. Each caged four basket smostrung was pretty well boxed of the game by the tight Alcoes but in spite of this he held with three baskets.

New material that will A strong team of Lincoln University on the latter's Campus. This game was the most important of Morgan's career. It was not a game for the laurels of victory alone, but a game to decide if Morgan could step into the class of such teams and if Baltimoreans, who were heretofore compelled to journey to Washington or elsewhere to see a class game, should have high class football in the future. It would be easy for each city to form its own club under the direction of the Central Committees and sell stock to the colored public to defray their expenses until the club-been to pay. The initial expenses of Spring trainin equipment, carfare, etc., could easily be taken care of by the stock sold, and I believe at the end of the first season, there would be a good sized dividend to pay to the A. "JACK" AS HE LOOKS TODAY TO FILE PARDON PLEA FOR JACK His Attorney Coming Back To Washington January 19th The Associated Negro Press Washington, Dec. 9.—The Department of Justice has refused to permit the filing of application for a pardon case of "Jack" Johnson who is now serving a term of one year and a day at Leavenworth, the reason given for thus refusing the application of Johnson's attorney, Elisa Scott, at Chicago, is that Johnson is not eligible for such consideration until one-third of his term shall have been served. That will be about January 19, next, and until then no application will be denied. FOOTBALL ENDS AT MORGAN Local Institution Put College And Academy On Friend For The First Time (By Milton Brown) Now that the Football season is over and the members of the Morgan college squad have packed their tops in the hoop and turned their attention toward basket-ball and track work; they look back on a brilliant history making season for Morgan. For the first time in her athletic history, Morgan put two teams on the gridiron, the preps and varsity, the Varsity team aided by the wonderful playing of several of the Academy members put up a game of the highest calorie and succeeded in winning a place on the schedules of some of the best College teams, including Lincoln, Union and perhaps now-and-day. With men who had played only pre-c football as a nucleus and other who had little or no experience in the game, Morgan developed a fast, regulated team that held its own with the best. When the team played such teams that were considered out on its class, the gameness and fighting qualities were too outstanding factors; for this year's pugging is bound to bear results in next year's receiving. With Pretendard, Sorrell, Hodges, James, Ayres, Jackson, Redds, Kennedy and Spinard among those due to return next year, Morgan has great strength on which to build championship hopes. Weeb is the only man to beGraduation. The first game of the season was played with the strong Ammaniac club, an aggregation that holds victories against Howard and other teams of that class. Morgan won 7-0. In this game, though proving that her team was the better of the two, the Baltimore boys did not reveal the strength which characterized their playing in the remainder of their games. After conditioning her players constant drilling and the perfecting of many tricks under the careful tutoring of Jack Mundy, the former St. John's Star, Morgan put on a decided different appearance. The next game played was against the strong team of Lincoln University on the latter's Campus. This game was the most important of Morgan's career. It was not a game for the laurels of victory alone, but a game to decide if Morgan could step into the class of such teams and if Baltimoreans, who were heretofore compelled to journey to Washington or elsewhere to see a classy game, should have high class football in the future. Though coming out with the short end of the score, Morgan made good. The wearers of the "Blue and Gold" put up a game which brought praise not alone from her own followers but from the Lincoln backers as well. Morgan showed more aggressiveness and was faster than her opponents but she bowed to a more experienced team. Judging from the game put up by the locals they will in all probability turn tables next year. Morgan's schedule next called for a struggle with Union, on the Morgan Campus. Baltimoreans who missed this game are certainly something out. It was absolutely the best colored football game ever witnessed in this city. The Union-Lincoln affair a year ago, was not as fast and clean as this encounter. Experience again triumphed over inexperience but the college boys deserve great credit. Everyone who witnessed the game will agree that Morgan was faster and fought after the first seven minutes of play, with her back to the Shake-up In Lincoln Athletics GIRLS PREPARING FOR BIG GAME Hubert Added As Coach. Carlyle Girls Of Washington To Be Met During Holidays Plans have been made whereby the Athenian Girls will practice at St. Mary's Hall in addition to one night a week at the "Y." The Girl's' Auxiliary of the Athenian Club have a large membership, and no paints will be spared in order to make the team one of the best that was represented Baltimore. The Carlyle Girls of Washington, styling themselves the champions of the East, have a fine record and last year only lost to the Orioles by one point. Last Friday night they journeyed to Pittsburgh and beat the best girls' team of that place. Laurence Hubert expects to have the Athenian Girls in tip-top shape for what will undoubtedly be the hardest fee they will have to contend with. Among some of the young ladies trying for the team, Misses Elizabeth Anthony, Louise Parrott, Constance Murphy and Pauline Wharton. The game will be played at Richmond Market Armory on Monday evening, December 27th. BASKET BALL: LEAGUE FORMED All Virginia Body Opens Door To Other Clubs Representatives from Roanoke Danville, and Lynchburg, all Virginia cities met on Monday night, November 29th, at Virginia Seminary in Lynchburg and organized the Southern Basketball League. The League, as designed shall be an organization composed of schools clubs and Y. M. C. As in the South for the promotion of clean athletics and the development of basketball especially, Dr. S. G. Bullock was elected president, Professor Fred Lawson of Roanoke, vice president, and Professor L. Emmett Drewry on Virginia Seminary at Lynchburg, secretary-treasurer. Both men and women teams will compete under the auspices of the League. A schedule was drafted, and the first game will be played in Danville on December 14th, between the Harrison High School of Roanoke and Danville team. The organization of this League is a step forward in athletics among our people, and will provoke considerable interest in the territory covered by the League. It is desired to increased the membership of the League and other schools and organizations, especially in Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina are invited to join. Applicants should be submitted in writing to the Secretary-Treasurer (Professor L. Emmett Drewry of Virginia, Seminary, Lynchburg, Va.) accompanied by the Joining fee of five (5) dollars. SUGGESTS EASTERN BASEBALL LEAGUE Boston Organizer Plans Professional League To Include Baltimore Richmond, Philly And Lynchburg There has been for sometime a desire among the colored people of the Centril and Atlantic States to see more of the Colored Baseball teams of the better grades matched against one another. They seem to long to see men of their own color pitting their baseball science, skill and speed together, and there seems to be no reason why they should be gratified in their desire, or why these baseball nines should not be gaining their livelihood from their knowledge of of the game as do their white breeders. make-up In Lim ATHENIAN QUINT TO OPEN SEASON Getting Ready For Opening Game Thursday With The Carlylos. Outlook Bright SPORTI The Y. M. C. Philadelphia "next Saturday Monday they w at Atlantic City both games. busy season of basketball is on docket for local enthusiasts, the "Y" having already played two games. The Athenians will get going next Thursday at the Richmond Market Armory, when the fast Carlyle "5" of Washington will be met, in what will no doubt be a slashing setto. Prospects are reasonably encouraging. The Athlonan "Blue and Gray Machine" will have a strong defense, with the offensive strength developing as the season goes on. The squad has sustained a serious loss in "Chipple" Taylor, who is attending school in Philadelphia. "Chipple" is undoubtedly the best forward ever developed in local ranks. Lyles, who was elected captain of this year's quint at a meeting at the club house last week, will be at guard again. Lyles is one of the best guards ever seen on a local court. "Noony" Rice, a heady player will be seen at the other guard position. There is a possibility "Scrappy" Brown may be shifted to one of the forwards, the ho played regular at center all during last season. "Ev" Butler will hold down one of the forwards. He too, can be shifted to guard without weakening the team. In case Brown starts at center "Bill" Harris will take his position at right field. Armstrong, a new comer, will substitute at forward and Hammond at center. The Carles are coming both full of confidence, with the same team that won the District Championship last season. They have played two games thus far, having gone down to defeat only after an extra five minute period, before the first Spartan Braves of New York 31-28. They defeated the much-touted New York "V" 27-13, the "Y" had them 8-4 in the first half. The Athletians will play only two home games during the month. On Monday evening, December 27, the first Ohio Collegians of Ohio and Michigan will be met at the Richmond Market Armory. The team is composed of all stars of various Western colleges. A great game is looked for. CARLALLES Robinson R.F. ATHENIANS Burinson Barres or Armstrong Hill, Capt L.F. Butler or Brown Arnold C. Brown or Hammond Gilmore R.G. Capt, Lytes Barbour L.G.

Carpentier says: Joe Jeannette, who beat me at Lumur Park, Park, in the spring of 1914, also looked me up when I reached this country.

VIRGINIA SEMINARY 0; VIRGINIA NORMAL 5 Drop-kick and Safety decided the most dramatic gridiron battle of the year at Petersburg, Va. Nov. 25, While Howard University was burying Lincoln University under an avalanche of touchdowns, and Hampton and Union were falling to come to decisive terms in their annual football contest, Va. Seminary and Va. Normal Institute staged the most dramatic and the hardest fought game of the season. Finally the game was decided in the last quarter when Turner dropped back ten yards, after his team had carried the ball to Seminary's 25 yard line, and neatly sent the oval between the uprights for three points. Very soon after that a safety was made when Watson of Seminary was downed behind Petersburg goal. Against them, Seminary opened up a series of forward passes that seemed With the score then standing 5 to 0 destined to sweep the Normal Lads off of their feet, but the attempt only threatened the enemy's goal, they never crossed it.

Moore) Lincoln SPORTING DOPE The Y. M. C. A. team will play Philadelphia "Y" at Philadelphia next Saturday and the following Monday they will play the Vandana at Atlantic City. It is hoped that both games will be won by the "Y" team. The Junior Five of the Y. M. C. A. played the All Stars of the Boys' Department for the preliminary game. They won by a score of 27-9. The game was fast and showed some clever passing on the part of the boys. Clarence Wake the star. He caged 7 baskets and had a big cog in the team work of his team. There is some very promising material in the younger boys and a schedule being planned for them so they may show the public what they can do. Plans are being made to bring a team here from Washington for December 18. Watch the paper for further notice. The Howard-Lincoln Football game was a fast, hard and clean contest. Emmet Scott deserves all credit for staging it at American League Park. The game itself was hard and rough, all the officials were colored as they always ought to be, and they handled the game in big league style. There was no disputing and not a moment's delay. Once, Captain Nix claimed that fullback Payne of Howard was stopped in his thirty yard run on Lincoln's five yard line by a Lincoln tackler. The referee replied that he was tackled there and did not stop until he was across for a touchdown. Captain Nix gave in immediately. Credit goes to Dr. B. Morrison who coached Lee Howard team. Toadbdr. Morrison is going to practice medicine in Washington instead of giving all the energies to professional coaching. Major Dean, athletic director at Howard kept the crowd off the field between the halves and thereby helped in the bud a lot of alumni socializing. The ex-captain of football teams looked pretty old when Lory posed before a movie camera for a picture. The real candy came however, when Dr. Durkee, President of the University, Dr. Emmet Scott, Dean Holmes, Dr. Dubois and others posed, shook hands and uttered insultable remarks while the movie man turned his ma- online. By the way Jay Clifford's picture corporation got a film of all the grandstand, of the players, the game itself and the celebration afterward. Heres to Coosan Fraz. Pollard and the losers, Better Luck next time. Dr. J. H. Hiburn, old Lincoln quarterback is included in this toast, along with Bill Matthews formerly of Harvard, and Paul Robertson of Rutgers. It was not a football game Thanksgiving Day, it was prayer meeting. I am told. Before the game Lincoln boys at Morgan College held a memorial meeting in the chapel for the late Captain Bruce Williams, drowned last year in Atlantic City. Before Howard Team went into the and after that a prayer service. fray President Durkee in a speech to the squad told them before the student body to go into the game bent on winning, but to be gentleman and clean fighters. Then the cheerleader sang "O Howard we sing to thee." Kid Norfolk outclassed Jeff Clark the Ghost in their twelve round bout Friday night, but lacked the punch to straighten the old timer out. In a out twenty rounds, Smith would have been ready to take a nap. Disgusting were Al Herford's seating arrangements with special tickets for colored fight fans. Smith's Cafe deserves a vote of thanks for refusing to sell them. JOY! FUN! PLEASURE!

Pr Cabaret Singing by Theodore Upshur --- The Sporting editor was given a seat evidently by mistake in the white-section right in the midst of a bunch of crackers, who yelled "hit the nigger," or wanted to show in a loud voice" what chance the nigger Norfolk would stand with Jack Dempsey." Some of these guys had the nerve to hiss when Kid Barr, introduced as the lightweight champion of Baltimore, graciously walked over to shake with Norfolk and Clark. The action of this bunch of mockers makes it evident that the reason why we cannot have mixed bouts in this city is that this low brow crowd can still sit and see its pets beaten up by fighters like Wells and Norfolk. Joe Gans used to beat up the "white hopes" so regular that they got sick of it. You notice also that Jack Dempsey is not accepting any challenges from Harry Wills of Kld Norfolk. He might claim the championship of the world, but actually championship of Charles street would suit him better.

"A YOUNG MAN SHOULD SAVE A DOLLAR OUT OF EVERY FIVE HE EARNS."-ANDREW CARNEGIE Winner of Third Prize Parents Take Drastic Action Cooperate With High Shool Faculty In Disapproving Lavish Entertainments And Meetings Outside School Buildings At the first quarterly meeting of parents and teachers of the Colored High School, a special conference was held by the parents of the third and fourth year classes and the faculty. Several parents complained that the third year class was holding meetings at night at the houses of different members of the class. The whole question was presented by Principal Hawkins and the intention of the parents was called the face that they alone could control their children after school and that if they considered nurses to allow their children to d meetings from house to house without the necessary equipment and teachers, it was their business to deal each with his own child. After a thorer discussion of the question by a number of parents, it was unanimously decided that: We as parents disapprove of our hooing meetings as a class outside of the school: We disapprove of their giving entertainments whereby to secure money with which to entertain the fourth year class. We agree with the principal and the class meetings should be held in the school building and that the members of the class thru weekly or monthly savings should raise the money required for a moderate reception to the fourth year class. We further consensus of opinion of the parents present that the parents should discourage extravagance of dress, etc. on the part of children at commencement. Committee for the Parents ROBERT W.

Observer Editor Attacked Unexpectedly At A Dance By Alexandria Physician Washington, D.C., Dec. 6. Arthur Bragg, of Baltimore, editor of the Observer, was assaulted by Dr. A. D. Penn of Alexandria, last week. The attack took place at the Coliseum Hall, where the "Crushers" gave their Thanksgiving dance. Mr. Bragg in company with Dr. Fred Young also of Baltimore, and others, was smoking in the men's room at the Coliseum when set upon by Dr. Penn, and struck in the face before friends could pull them apart. The expose of the marital difficulties of D. and Mrs. Penn is said to have been the cause of the assault. Mrs. Penn has instituted a suit in the local courts against the Observer for $25,000. ODD FELLOWS Local Odd Fellows plan building a four-story hall on the site of the present hall, 407 W. Lansvale street, corner of McCullough street. Besides lodge rooms, the building will contain two halls, the larger of which will seat 1,000 persons. The work of construction will begin, early in the year. The building will cost about $100,000. The Joint Stock Association is planning to pay of the $2,300 due on the present building by February 1, next month. lodges have pledged generous sums toward the new structure. The Thanksgiving rally netted about $600. 1921 CHRISTMAS NOW AT 1512 PENNSY Come and join before the great BIGGER—BETTER—EASIER This is the best systematic way o will always b Don't take our word for it. b BRAN You may join our Xmas Club at a time spec CHRISTMA S CLUB NOW FORMING 2 PENNSYLVANIA A more the great rush.

"We'll say they are. It begins to lok like the "yellow port" is about to get something of a German flag. Where there is an American will there is an American way. May we not suggest that it is, at times, "way off." Not all the presented Christians are in Armenia. A goodly number are to be found in Georgia, Texas and other parts of the South. A handsome Christmas gift for the Negro would be a fair deal and an equal opportunity to become genuine and decent living American citizens. METTING THE ISSUE It has to be done. We are meeting the issue. We were brought to this country, and the issue has been brought to us—the issue of race relation in America. Trying, ugly, embarrassing, delicate, hateful through the thing may be we are not going to be shinkers, shackers, hypocrites nor desorters. We are going through this thing as we have gone through the lines of the enemy in all the wars in which our great country has engaged. We are going to win, to succeed, because our cause is just. Human history, history shows, often gets a long and wide play, but in the final analysis it always loses out. There is a Hand of Destiny in the great brazen of Humanity that always brings sunshine from shadow. Therefore, without fear or omnivore, we are going to unite our energies and talents and wealth of the right thinking white people, and we are going to find some way out in these matters of lynching, disfranchisement, "jim crowts," and all other unrightous, un-American low down institutions. We are going to call things by their proper names, but we are not going to be low down and mean about it. There is only one class of whites with which we are not going to bother at this time, and that is that class which is absolutely devoid of reason and justice. We are not going to bother them, and we are not bothered about their feelings, in the results. They have had their day, filled with hate, just, blood, lies, turmoil, murder and destruction. Now, the rest of us are going to have ours. They have had no respect for people nor their feelings, and all that they have done, being out of line with the eternal verities, has been a dismal failure. Their methods simply will not do, and we must find others. We are doing it. By the same token, those of us on our side cannot accept the extreme notions of the most radical among us. Their over-zolousness is equally as impractical as the over-hatred of the others. We need not expect to find Utopia in the next decade. However, we can find a most happy mean. We can find a meeting place for action, and an active place of meeting where humanity will be the keyword and the salvation. In all sections, among right- thinking people, it is agreed that there is nothing to be gained by pushing the issue aside for a longer time. It has been kicked around and joked about like the proverbial "houn' dog." But with the Bolshevists on the East and the Japanese on the West, the days of jokes and football tactics have passed forever. The session is open. The clerk will kindly call the roll. EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN Discussing the various national organizations of white women in the country, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs declared to a correspondent of the Associated Negro Press this week: "When the women commenced to study the reason for women's organizations they found out that in every instance they were formed for the benefit of some suffering class. They had no bearing on the condition of women themselves, but regarded either the physical or spiritual welfare of others. The first National Society of women in the United States was an antislavery society, formed with the ultimate purpose of delivering the colored race in our country from hondage. All the rest of us can learn a lesson from the women. Instead of organizing just for the sake of organizing, or getting together "in a social way," it would be tremendously worth while now if every organization' was aimed specifically at something that needs to be righted, and when its mission is accomplished promptly goes out of business.

When you can fell the height, Star after star, inviolate. Man's upward looking for the light Beyond the moonless black— Can hold storm-riot winds, the tides That 'eer come tumbling back— Can man the music that abides Where Hope is glad within; When you can pluck and fling away Our souls' conviction, "Right will win." And silence prayer for aye— The you can baffle Life with Death, Crush with your hawless iron rod The symbol of our struggling breath: THE ETHIOP HAND OUT STRETCHED TO GOD! CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. MOORE Ex-Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, has shaken off his former "eat-a-nigger-for-breakfast" attitude and is now playing the role of a tear-shedding patriot who fears that his "Dear Southland has not yet learned her lesson and that she is still to suffer yet more from her endorsement of war." This was expounded in the course of an address delivered at Manning, S. C., where the ex-governor was praised for tears, "a grievous agreement of the few," exposulated against the "Evils of War," called on God at least six times to witness the "Depths of my sorrow, etc. etc." This looks to me like more danger to "white supremacy." I suggest a straight jacket and seven bottles of diluted Peruna for the disgusted South Carolinian. THE Philadelphia PUBLIC LEDGER is "making a mountain out of a molehill" according to recent editorial clement of the ENQUIRER-SUN of Columbus, Ga., when the LEDGER declares that "Patriotic Americans will view with profound misgivings the spread of the misguided movement of those Georgia zealots who have sought to revive the Ku Klux Klan of infamous memory in reconstruction days." The Enquirer-Sun declares that the Ku Klux Klan, in its newest garb, is a harmless body of patriotic Southerners who have been organized merely to make sure they are safe from the certain of being maintained. Just a little pink tea party club with no other public responsibility on its official shoulders than aiming to keep the "gigger in his place." What an egg shell foundation this "white supremacy" is standing on! --- At the recent Savannah Fair, Negroes were awarded prizes for displays in peanuts, sweet potatoes, green pepper, pumpkins, sugar cane, pean, turnips, hay, profille corn, Spanish peanuts and general truck. This speaks well for the Negroe Georgia, especially that kind of him that dwells near to Savannah. He didn't take any prizes for useful inventions, manufacturing or commercial enterprise. But there is the consolation that the heepeats eat to eat peanuts, cabbage turnips and often farm products to live. "White supremacy" while it is "keeping the nigger in his place," has also to keep its stomach filled. And now it is the German press which is denying the stories concerning the "atrocities" which the black French troops are alleged to have perpetrated on German soldiers in the occupation of German, territory by the allied forces. When it comes to prostituting wom en, especially black women, nobody has got anything on a certain breed of white Americans. The German MANHOOD has no color, nor MANHOOD for that matter. THE RIGHT CHRISTMAS GIFT All of us take so many orders from Uncle Sam as to how we shall live, and eat and get married, and do the thousand and other things that make up the existence of a normal American, that we are not minded to listen to advice of the Government on CHRISTMAS GIVING. Nevertheless the best suggestion for presents for Christmas comes from the Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department, and here it is unadulterated: Old Scrooge, Dickens' famous character, is probably the most famous hater of Christmas in the world "Christmas—Bah!" said Old Scrooge. But there are thousands of men, women and children in this country who "Bah" with Scrooge either before or after December 25th. Scrooge hated Christmas because he neither gave nor received the right things in the right spirit. He has imitators for the same reason. The object of Christmas giving is to make those to whom you give happy. That is the only way you can make/YOURSELF happy. You cannot make those you care for happy by ill considered gifts. If your gift means nothing except a package tied with red ribbon with holly wreathes on it, it is valueless either to the giver or the receiver, no matter whether its wrappings cover a diamond neckless or a fifty cent necktie. To give real Christmas gifts you must put thought as well as money into them—thought for the welfare and profit of the future as well as pleasure for the moment. Such gifts are not hard to find. You can give comfort, independence and protection for the future by choosing Government Savings Securities for your Christmas gifts. They are adaptable to any purse, large or small. They will convey not only the immediate pleasure of a thoughtful gift, but they will continue as an aid and inspiration for the future. They will never deteriorate in value but will grow in value as time goes on. With them you can give character and contentment. And whether your gifts be 25 cent Thrift Stamps, $5 War Savings Stamps or a $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificate, they will carry to the recipients the good wishes for happiness and future prosperity WHICH THEY CAN MAKE COME TRUE. Buy your Christmas presents from Uncle Sam AND "BAH" AT SCROOOGE, NOT WITH HIM. As an alternative to the purchase of "War Savies" and "Thrifties," both of them Government Securities, the AFRO-AMERICAN is suggesting that Christmas presents this year take the form of an account started in one of our five colored banks. The American Negro has made millions and hoarded them in national banks and trust companies, because the colored people had no banks of their own. The times have changed now, and Baltimore city alone can point to five banking institutions owned and operated by colored men and women. The boy or the girl who is given as a Christmas present a deposit and bank book in one of these institutions is bound to get the right idea of thrift as well as the possibilities bound up in rightly directed business activities of his own race. Buy your Christmas Presents from Colored Banks, and "BAH" AT SCROOGE, NOT WITH HIM. FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT The past has a most important lesson for the present and the future. The race, in this country, has gradually emerged from the thickest darkness into light. The increase of the light, are largely decrease of the darkness, and the dependent upon the energy of "the elect." Long before the late civil war, the black people, in this country, were divided into three distinct groups. The same thing is true today; but the proportion in each group has greatly changed. Such is the program of life. The great masses of black people who lived in a coarse, and vulgar environment, and who performed the hard outside manual labor system, had become so degraded in through the operation of the slave the real essentials of manhood, that they could not even think "freedom," and of course they could not desire that they could not conceive. Slavey was not a hardship to such, since that inner life which discerns had been deadened. The second class was that large body of house servants, and attendants, who lived in and daily reflected the best and highest life. Constantly living in that life they were effected by it. They heard the most elegant speech, and witnessed the most gracious manners and bearing. These things were transferred to them. But the large majority of this class came such fond admirers of "Masters Suite," that they were intended to forever live in such atmosphere, unless through the graciousness of their Masters they were set free without any effort upon their birth. But, there was a third and last class, the upper section of the "Great House" class, and it is this class that the race is specially indebted for their life of freedom, this class monitored possessed, but, in addition, sustained an unconquerable thirst for freedom. For the attainment of which they would readily, and cheerfully, sustain any sacrifice, peril, or suffering. These were the people who furnished passengers for the "Underground Railroad," and who having reached free soil, used their energies and endeavors to eternally desist to system which, then, they sum of all villainies. It was this class that produced Douglass, Garnett, Ward and the host of such characters who mightly battled against slavery. The supporters of William Ashle Hawkins, in the late election belonged to this same superior class. And this class will constantly be enlarged through growth of the same spirit. The numerous class of the race are still insensible of the profound means while sensible of its meaning, are not disposed to take any great risk in securing it, but are content with a degree of subordination. Hence it is to the class who THINF FREEDOM, and are minded to secure it, full-and-complete to cost, who are desired to lead forth the race from darkness into light. There is but one question which asks of every policy, or program. Is it right? If it is no right, there are no ifs and, but eternal opposition to whatever is false and misleading. The independent spirit is the spirit of truth eternally set in array against the spirit of falsehood and wrong. As in the past, delivery has come through the future, one armed with truth will put ten thousand to flight. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. Henry Watterson, for years the editor of the Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal, and then there probably never lived a better example of the loyal old-time, Southerner, said Colonel Roscoe Simmons, was without doubt the most polished speaker on the American platform. This is strong dope, but "Marse Henry" wouldn't make the world safe for political democracy, we must not forget to save the world from religious autocracy. A religious tyranny of the majority, concealed for the purpose of controlling political institutions and oppressing the minority, is no a whit better than a religious autocracy of a few which menaces the rights on the majority. Well-meaning men have made the remark that there is no Negro problem; that all that is necessary is incompatible with the teachings of the New Testament. "But this is pure hog-wash. There is a Negro problem, and it remains to be seen whether we are going to settle it in a sensible manner, or blunder like blight bulbs wasting our time in paving dirt and bellowing. To cyde the issue is cowardly. and civil despotism. A unionligion with the civil government is incompatible with the teachings of the New Testament.

While we believe in the doctrines of "Give every man justice if you have to kill him to do it" but let's be sure our own skirts are clear before we attempt to apply it. We have never been able to understand how a man could go into tantrums every time anybody says "nigger" and then put in all his spanish fatherhood. Negro children if you live in the same man, have the guts to own it and resign from white. The present tendency toward attention to the take people rightly and the religious through the establishment of religious dogmas by civil authorities is a danger signal at which we should take alarm. Sunday laws and universal compulsory Sunday observance, are an entering wedge, opening the gates for a flood of religion and the power of the people. It is high that we follow in its wake. It is high that we follow in strong voice of enfections against ecclesiastical croacisms upon our race institutions, and the conscience of the individual. A complete divorce of the church from the state is in harmony with Christ's teachings and is the only sure basis of domestic peace and religious freedom. Let us see that the church and state generally support the service, and we shall, and that tranquility and happiness may be promoted and more firmly established. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL THE BEST AND WORST EDITORIALS Editors Note.—The following editorial from the Dumas, Arkansas Democrat is at one and the same time the best and worst editorial of the week. It is best in that it realizes that Southerners cannot continue to soft pedal the race problem. It is worst in that it falsely asserts some "national reasons" against racial mixtures, where more piet, and states the editor's belief in violence where necessary to bring justice. This latter is the chief tenet of the tycher. Hear Simmons From the Dumas, Arkansas Democrat Henry Watterson, for years the editor of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, and then when there probably never lived a time example of the low old-time example of the late Colonel Roscoe Stimson, was without doubt the most polished speaker on the American platform.

McNeely says he sat for three hours on a hard bench, spell-bound. Well-married men have made the self-married that there is no Negro problem; that all that is necessary is to "treat um like we've always done." But this is pure hog-wash. There is a Negro problem, and it remains to be seen whether we are going to settle it in a sensible manner, or blunder along like biff bulls wasting our time in paving dirt and bellowing.

If you love a Negro woman, have the guts to own it and resign from work; you do not enjoy good woman in the face, knowing yourself to be a living life? This Simmons, being a thinker, knows that the white man needs the Negro's labor, and that the Negro needs the true white man's executive ability; that neither can well afford to dispose with the other. Also, being a thinker, he knows that his people must have some incentive in life if they are to reach that stage where they will be contented workers, free from the menace of the I. W. W.-ism and kindred cancerous growths. He realizes that there are excellent natural reasons why an indescriminate mixture of the races would be an evil thing, and he reaches the minds of his people as no white man would and go far toward bringing them to the point of understanding the real and the false. Every white man owes it to his sense of fair-play to turn out and hear him. Former Judge Hewlett Of The Washington, D. C. Municipal Court Hopes For Recocillation Between Mr. Coleman And The Blind Band. To the Editor: On my return to Washington, after a two weeks business trip, in looking through the columns of your paper, I noticed and read a protest by Mr. Robert W. Coleman against the manner in which he had been treated by the leader and members of the Colored Blind Band. I was shocked. I know the interest Mr. Coleman has manifested towards the colored blind of Maryland and especially Baltimore. I know he has given unstintingly of his time and means and I was present when he addressed them. The leaders and members were almost extravagant in their praise of him. I was delighted to know that, at least, a member of the race himself afflicted, had championed the cause of these afflicted citizens who had so long been overcome by the great mass of our people. Too much cannot be said in praise of the Maryland Association for Colored Blind in their good work, but Mr. Coleman acted in The People's Forum Years in Congress for the record black statement made in both Senate and House. I have no hesitation in saying and the record proves it—that the Negro vote is more intelligent and patriotic than that of most of the white. So suffrage in the DNC and in the wicked South must be for social justice, if it will be "unnesiastic" to shortsighted apologize for disfranchisement, segregati, the trampling under foot of the Constitution we profess to love, school fund that, and every other crime arresting democracy. I assure you, sir, that when we get Negro suffrage here and in the South—and we are going to get it at any cost—you will see larger appropriations for schools, hospitals, police and fire department; more competent officials, better civic sanitation; more equitable distribution of wealth; the enactment of more important laws. And I ensure you that the board of education of this city, one third of whom are colored, would never introduce such a book in our schools to poison the minds of 65,000 children. Such propaganda cannot find its way into the hundreds of colored schools in the South, and in the thousands of institutions in the North where white and black attend school together. In conclusion, sir, let me say that it is a prostitution of scholarship to array it on the side of color. The university should be the center of light from which the masses can get the truth, and from which should just laws, the only safe guard of the Respectfully yours (Signed) NEVAL H. THOMAS ant School A Certainty. The proposed establishment of a Parental School for Colored Truants was probably discussed among interested persons and societies since the enactment of the Compulsory School Attendance Law in 1902, but nothing definite was accomplished until the matter was taken up at a meeting of colored social workers who met last spring at the home of one of their number, those being present were George S. Rush, Bathion Officer of the Bathion Office, Rev. Beale the Probation Officer of the Children's Court, Miss Georgia Fields Agent of the Henry Watkins Children's Aid Society, Miss Georgia Wares Agent of the Family Welfare Association, Miss Nellie G. Brands, and Miss Juliet Thomas of the Prisoners Aid Society. Cooperating with them and arrangements was Mr. William Mueller Chief Probation Officer of the Criminal Court. Mr. Mueller is the chairman of the Citizens Committee on Parental Schools this committee urged the cause, and presented the matter in relation to Parental School before the Board of School Commissioners, the Mayor and City Council and the Board of Estimates, among the members of that Citizens committee were Mr. Carl Murphy, Mr. George B. Murphy Mr. Mason A. Hawkins, Mr. C. Fitzgerald, ar. W. Ashle Hawkins, and many others. At meeting held at the City Council Chamber at the City Hall on Wednesday November 1, 1930, with quite a number of representative citizens present. Mr. Mueller presided learned through Mr. S. P. A. a member of the Board of School Commissioners, that the officers' board is fully sympathetic with the movement, and that soon as the necessary made is by the Board of Estimates, the School will be established and maintained. The Citizens Committee having investigated the conditions of the Parental School for white children, and believing it to be too small to accommodate the number of truants who should be sent there, has suggested that a larger place be provided for white children that would not only provide for truants but for all classes of pupils whose physical and mental irregularities make it impossible for them to get the best results in a group of normal pupils in the regular public schools. of good government, constitution of our encourage both white remain in ignorance, not "very interesting!" his same chapter, page 5, again with prejudice and saying, "The Negro all about the necessi- caryment of his poll tax, make it improvidently ot." ad of the eagerness of the South in the recent sweet this Bourbon e from power, their note in defiance of the the ballot box this show improvien- county millions "white country who never vote x, acquiring a studying his ques- nothing to the wicked which knows nothing but on Territories les, you say, "Wash- nash city and contains corporation of Negro in- should be extremely dis- population if these allowed to vote.

He says: "The Haytians would naturally be frightened at having to appear before an imposing Labor Board composed of Admirals and other high officers. It was not the Educated Haytians of the Port of Prince who witnessed the worst of the Marine atrocities. It was the simple rural Haytians." "When one of those imposed officers, Judge Advocate, Dyer, takes pains to inform the rural Haytians that he will be severely punished for perjury it is obvious, that the effect of this procedure is to produce a terrified silence rather from the imprudence which everyone in Haytian knows to exist." Mr. Johnson also said, when in Haytian last spring he found that native Haytians and American business men were afraid to talk about conditions. THREW $7,000 IN SEWER.

BUREAU CONTINUED Head of R. R. Union Takes Up Question With Congressman (By the Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Dec. 3—R. L. Mays International president of the Railway Men's International B.I. A., has taken up with Senator Micell McCormick and Congressman Martin B. Madden the subject of having Congress provide for the continuation of the Bureau of Negor Economics in the Department of Labor. Congressman Madden in a statement to Mr. Mays says: "This Bureau and several other were created as war measures for the better correlation of different groups of workers during the war period. It was thought by many that when the war ended there would be no need for their further continuance, but if the experience of those most directly affected leads them to believe that the work done during the war proved of such value as to justify its continuance as a peace time activity. I see no reason why their judgment should not be given great weight and the question of legislation making it a useful arm of the government given early and favorable consideration. "STICK" TO JOBS. Urban League in Daily Bulletin Sues Man of Unemployment Threat- ening. Chicago, Dec. 9—"The League, is sending out a general warning to all workers to stick to their jobs. In reminding men and women that this is no time for change, a bulletin of the League states that "Out of telephone calls to 27 plants on one morning, only 4 jobs were obtained. These were reluctantly given the League for 'Old Time's sake,' and not because the men were actually needed. At several plants there were more than 290 men outside of the gates booking for employment. Wages are being reduced in certain plants and the working forces of others are being materially decreased. One plant that had been hiring some six or eight hundred colored men will be chosen from Wednesday of this week until Monday of next week." WANT NEGRO COLONEL New Yorkers Favor Capt. N. B.

Before the Civil War colored physicians were but ew. Today, several thousand doctors, educated in the best choices of the land, are scattered round the country. Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, Newport, R. L. an N-Xay expert; Dr. J. V. Roan, Nashville, Tenn., eye and ear specialist; Dr. Daniel H. M. Allinus, of Chicago, the first man to successfully operate upon the human heart, and Dr. Austen M.urtis, the prominent surgeon on Washington, are among a number who have been enthusiastically success- Baltimore's thirty-odd physicians are among the most successful men in the city. They were educated in the best schools in the old and have not every test imposed upon those who practice the profession. Among the number is Dr. S. Bernard Hughes, who has specialized in surgery, though not neglecting general practice. He is a son of the late Rev. S. K. Hughes, a minister in the Washington M. E. Conference, Dr. Hughes received his academic education at Morgan College, after which he entered toward University Medical School, graduating in 1905. He spent two years as an extreme white in the medical and the year following his graduating as an interne, Dr. Ebbok, white, dean of the medical school, was bachil in his wake of the young physician's work.

He is treasurer of the local chapter of the Aljina Phi Alpha Fraternity, 32nd degree Mason member of the Elks and Knights of Lythias. When a reporter for the AFROAMERICAN visited his crowded office the other day, Dr. Hughes said that the chief desire of the real physician is to effect a cure never thinking of pecuniary reward. He asserted that the colored physician had met every test, which was proven by the growing support given by the race. He is a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, the American Medical Association, the National Medical Association and the Maryland Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. Besides being on the staff of Provident Hospital, he has had special privileges at several other local hospitals.

KINGSLEY ARMY SHOE CO., 3522 Grove Grove Ave. DEK-PT 875, Chicago, IL Millions for a New Stomach One of the greatest American millionaires said to his physician, "A million dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grumbling, for a new stomach," and then the sick man groomed and turned away. All his wealth could not make him happy or contented, for happiness largely depends upon digestion. Without health where does happiness come in? After all the stomach plays a great part in everyday Life. Without a healthy stomach and good digestion our blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart notion is weak, our liver does not do its duty, and man is miserable and unhappy. Prevent disease by putting the house in order and strengthening the system against the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce, of the Invisibles' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. K., years ago understood diseases and their prevention, and he discovered certain roots and herbs which were nature's remedies, and succeeded in putting them up in a form that could be easily procured at the drug store (liquid or tablets). This he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This Discovery gives no false stimulation because it contains no alcohol or any narcotic. It helps digestion and the assimilation of such elements in the food as are required for the blood. It gives to the blood the food elements the tissues require. For over fifty years it has enjoyed the confidence of the American public. Try it now! EZL A $45.00 Complete for $10.00 Course Baltimore, Md.

In response to a question he gave his name as "P. J. Nelson." The clerk asked him what did the "P. J." stand for. Nelson replied that's all he knew was "P. J." Deputy Clerk became interested, but all he was able to find that the male's name was "P. J." "That is all I have ever known," responded P. J.

A strategic plan to help stabilize the world's credit situation is proposed by United States Senator Josiah Irwin France of Maryland, who will ask Congress to lend $5,000,000,000 to Germany and $7,000,000,000 to the allies. The proposed funds for Germany will enable that country to rehabilitate itself industrially and pave a way for it to pay $1,000,000,000 a year in indemnity to the allies for the next twenty-eight years. The purposes that the United States, for extending this credit, take even the territory that Germany controlled in East Africa. This territory amounts to about 1,000,000 square miles, about one-third of the area of continental United States. The Africa for Africans movement and the fact that many colored Americans are opposed to prejudicial conditions in this country, would offer a big opportunity to colored people everywhere to work out their despair in the face of their american theocratic policies. During the debate above last week a series of Congressmen over the Peace Treaty Senator France offered a reservation providing that the United States takes over German Africa. He did not present the proposal however. --- Goes Over to Attend Opening Session of Congress and Sees Big Folks. Washington, D. C. Dec. 9-Old Timer is here spending the week. The reporter sped him in the gallery at the opening session of Congress. "What are you doing here?" he asked the reporter. "Just getting a line on things" the reporter answered. "Boy. I was down here just after we got free said Old Timer, and member how the town was rung up after Abebam Lincoln was shot, Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnett and other big men were among my friends Old Charles Summer and Thad, Stevens were battling for the race. Woh, while Andy Johnson wuz President things were topsy turvy but the cultural folks were getting located office in the South. Then came the amendment that gave cultural folks their right to vote in the North. I knew Robert Brown Elliott, Blanche K. Bruce, John K. Lynch, Hilam Revels and other big men who were in Congress here. Well, we lost out after Hayes became President, and I am her now to see that the war amendments be enforced. "Some John" said the reporter. "Some job," said the reporter. "I have had big jobs before, and I may win out on this one," the old fellow confidently replied. "Woodrow Wilson has been preaching democracy for the world and shouting his eyes against it for the civil folks in our country, and I am going to take his text and see that it is fulfilled. "I have seen anybody since you have been here?" asked the reporter. "I saw Link Johnson hanging around. You know Links' family lives here though he has lived in Atlanta since Father Woodrow told him to pack his duds and move so that a white Democrat could get his job as Recorder of Deeds. Well, I believe Link wants to be register of the Treasury under Harding. I saw Judge Torrell the other day. He has been Judge so long that he wants to serve till he is called to the yuther world. Well, the judge, was the luckiest Republican during the Wilson administration, holding his office, which Roosevelt gave him. He is just salin' and saying nutin'. "Some of these could be off-holders coming me of the play. A Texas Steer" or Paul Tumber's (Mr. Cornelius Johnson). Office geeker in that they may have to take a doe-keeper's job instead of becoming Secretary of State." "You are somewhat pessimistic," the reporter said. "Not that but many are called and few are chosen," responed O. T. "I remember wann't that my old friend Lawyer Tom Jones went to see president McKinley one time. The President said: "Oh, yes, you are a protse of John Mercer Langton and a man with a very bright future" as he bowed him out of the White House. Old Ed Cooper, who was then publishing the old Culled American commented" and poor Jones is wondering yet That is what may happen to some of my friends who want big Jobs. "You believe they lose out" said the reporter. "Lincoln lost to Howard by 42 to 0, and the score against the office-seekers may be larger, replied O. T. "I am going to see Congressman Rodenburg about that Haiti business I am going to talk to Senator France, of Maryland, about his suggestion that the United States take over German East Africa," replied C. T., as he got out eight cents to ride on a Washington street car.

The establishment of tuberculosis clinics for colored people where they may have their own doctors and nurses and work out their own health problems is contemplated by Dr. C. Hampson Jones, Health Commissioner for Baltimore. The physician is thoroughly conversant with health needs and conditions in Baltimore, having spent nearly twenty years in local Health Department. He says that the death of both races from intercultural in 1919 reached an average of 1.5 in 1918, while that for the colored people was 3.6 as a gainst 1.5 in 1919. While he regards this as an improvement, he believes that it means efforts should be taken to greatly reduce the percentage. Harry Johnson Recovers.
