Congress Dodges
Vote Issue
Washington, Dec. 30.—Republican members of Congress are responsive when it comes to taking a definite stand about remodelling the voting discriminations against colored citizens in the South.
Despite the fact that the last Republican National Convention inserted a plank in the party platform scoring unequal and unfair suffrage conditions, thus rallying thousands of colorless to the Republican ticket, there are some members of Congress who regard as trivial complaints about unfair treatment in the South.
This was plainly evidenced when Dr. William Pickens and Walter White, both of the National Association for the Advancement of Women, before the Census Committee Wednesday and asked that Congress take cognizance of voting conditions South. The Census Committee will determine the Congressional apportionment for the next ten years.
Dr. Pickens told of gross discrimination in Georgia, South and other states, bringing an presentative Eee, of Texas, a heated retort that he was tired of States being "insulted."
Dr. Pickens asserted that thirty-two colored women in Columbia, S.C. and secured warrants against registration officials who prevented them voting. He said even teachers were seriously likely in colored people that they wanted.
James Weldon Johnson appeared before the committee Thursday morning and urged that Congress go on record for equal suffrage without regard to race, or enlist the Fourteenth Amendment.

APPEAL TO PEOPLE
Members Of Both Races Are Asked To Help Crush Organization
New York, December 20—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has issued a statement announcing the steps which had been taken in the fight against the Ku Klux Klan. James Whelton Johnson, its secretary, signed the statement, which follows:
"Colored people throughout the United States as well as white Americans are urged to join with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in fighting the abolition and slaughtermany which the Ku Klux Klan is trying to make people believe is Americanism. Colored people have reason to know that the Ku Klux Klan represents terrorism and oppression, that it is organized to maintain so-called 'white supremacy' which means depriving colored people of their constitutional rights by violence.
"To date the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the following steps in its war on the Ku Klux Klan:
1. The Postmaster General of the United States has been written to ask him to refuse the privileges of the United States mails to the Klan for soliciting members.
2. Information having been obtained that the Klan intended to organize a branch in New York City, letters were written to the United States attorney for the disbanded Klan, also the New York district attorney, the Police Commissioner, and the Mayor of New York and the Governor of New York State. Assessments have been received that no branch of the organization will be tolerated in New York and in a public statement assistant district attorney, Alfred J. Talley, scored the Klan as narrow chested bigots.
3. Officers of the United States Department of Justice and of the New York Department are cooperating with the National Assessments Colored People to bring the facts about the unpatriotic and un-American Ku Klux Klan into the light or pitiless publicity.
4. "Colored and white people throughout the United States are urged to obtain all possible information about the vandible artists who parade at night draped in bed sheets and pillows cases. This information if sent to the National Office of the American public so that it will be made aware that "patriots" meet in secret to devise plans for violating the United States Constitution and the federal criminal code."

James Weldon Johnson, Before The Negro Academy Attacks American Rule There MIGHT MAKES RIGHT
Washington, Dec. 30.—In an address at the annual meeting of the American Negro Academy Wednesday night on "Some Phases of the 'Haitian Situation'" James Weldon Johnson, of New York, declared that America assumed control of American affairs without the assistance of the United States. The two-day sessions of the academy, which were held at the Dunbar High School, were attended by a number of scholars. A feature was an exhibit of pictures of such characters as Toussaint L'Ouverture, Iaura Aldridge, Wendell Hines, James Stevens, Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Summer and Harriet Reecher Stowe.
At the opening session on Tuesday, President John W. Cromwell read a paper on "The Challenge of the Distranchised," and Rev. C. D. Martin, of New York, outline the part that the Negro had played in the spread of Christianity." Robert T. Browne, of Brooklyn, N. Y., spoke on "Einstein's Theory of Relativity" Wednesday and Rev. T. G. Steward spoke on "A Threefold View of Character." In his address, Mr. Johnson of his observations concerning the treatment of natives there by American and of the indigent denials from Secretary of State Colby and Secretary of War Daniels, when he made public his criticisms. He called attention to the whitewash given American marines by General Lejune, characterizing it as valueless since the general had been in command there since January 30 last and of subsequent revolutions made by General Barnett about the killing by American marines of the latter. He also recognized the recent whitewashing by the Mayo Injustice Court. He concluded:
HATT WAS-OUPPOSED
While Secretary Daniels' defense was rhetorical, Secretary Colby's defense was misleading. Secretary Colby in a formal statement set the tone for his visit to Hatt's office; he set up the position of Hatt with her foreign creditors; the eminent danger of the seizure of the black republic by some European power; the landing of French troops prior to the landing of American forces; and the denounced intentions of the United States and denounced CONTINUED ON PAGE SEVEN

General Manager Of The Atlanta Insurance Company Lodged In Jail
MAKES CHARGES
Makes Affidavit That Manager Was Cruel And Brutal To Her
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 27—Declaring that J. C. Lindsay, general manager of the Atlanta Insurance Co. to whom she reported the receipts of the day's business, immobile returned the copy to her next morning frequently short of $100 to $500, Miss Marie Anderson, cashier of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company of this city further complained that Lindsay was cruel and brutal to her and that she lived in daily fear that she would be made a victim of his conduct, according to the following article taken from the Atlanta Independent.
Lindsay was lodged in jail Tuesday night of last week under $2,500 bond on account of an alleged shortage charge against him by the auditors who had been working on the books of the Comptroller. It is alleged that the auditors found Lindsay short in his accounts $22,500. Based upon the affidavits made by the bookkeeper, C. C. Shanks, and the cashier, Miss Marie Anderson, that the shortage exists and had been existing for a number of months, the company arrested Mr. Lindsay for the arrest of Mr. Lindsay.
Miss Anderson stated in her affidavit that she was the cashier of the company and reported her receipts each night to J. C. Lindsay; that when he returned the box to her the next day; the box was jailed for $500 and that she complained to Mr. Lindsay of the shortage and of his conduct, and that he was brutal and cruel to her; that she lived daily in fear that she would be made the victim of his conduct; that she reported it to the bookkeeper, C. C. Shanks, and others. Mr. Shanks said in his affidavit that he knew the shortage existed for months and months, and that he had made false entries in the records for the purpose of covering the defaulations of the general manager and that the shortage was not without his knowledge; that it was used and that he had not been benefited by any of the money filched from the company.
Upon these additions, the company, through its attorney, W. Carroll Latimer, and Mr. Lindsay arrested, and the court fixed his hound at $25,000.
This defoliation, according to the company's findings, places the company in bad way, and it is suggested that Uncle Sam may take part, as he is entitled to taxes on the alleged shortage. The stockholders are line to the policyholders, the state and government to the extent of their holdings for the shortage.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 23.—
That the country is ‘thoroughly
avouced against the evils of lynch
ing, is evident by the ringing et
torlais thet appeer in -the daily
press, of which the Grand Rapids
Herald is an example.
jy {Down at Wise, Va. they ave
‘a sheriff who might well be held
up as a ‘model for other public
safety officials of-the country.
"In the jail at Wise is-a Negre
named WiMtiams, charged with as
saull and robbery of an aged man
On Sunday night a mob stormed
the jail and attempted to take Wil
Hams from the zuthorities. The
mob was very ugly and was o!
no _mean proportions. Other
sheriffs. might have opened the
doors to the jail, or unceremon-
Housiy set ‘Williams out on the
front pered to the would-be lynch-
ers. But not Sheri Corder.
“tn the first altack upon tie Jail
one man, suid to have been the
Icater of the mob, was ‘killed by
tho defenders; and the enraged
storming party was _ repelled.
Later the sheriff mounted a ma-
cline gun on the steps of the jai
and ordered his men to ‘shoot to
Kill i¢ further attacks were mide
“Of course, the lives of the
members of the mob were un-
donbtediy more valuable to $0-
ciaty than the lige of the miscra-
bie criminad whom the sherlif pro-
tected. But the sheriff Is phiced
in office to uptiold the law. ‘The
law says that this Negra shail have
afair trial. The law denies'to the
people the right to summary pin-
ishment of an accused man.
“Sheri Corder may hare lost

chat storized the Jafl, but in doing
so he strengthened the fiver of
American goveranient by. deter-
iminodly battling the bane of dont-

Associated Negro Press
Chicago, Ill., Dec. 30. "There is little or no employment to be found as waiters, porters, cooks, and similar occupations followed by large numbers of our people in the United States but there are many positions in large business concerns open and waiting for high class men and women of color." This statement was made recently by George Rambo, the President of the Brazilian-American Colonizing Syndicate, in the course of an address on the general opportunities for Negroes in the Republic of Brazil.
In a later interview he declared: "Not only are there good business openings for live people but there are splendid opportunities for successful ventures in the fields of manufacturing, Ice, cotton goods, leather articles and furniture making offer inviting chances to make money for anyone who has fair knowledge in these several directions. This would apply particularly to the large number of towns and small cities in the interior sections of the Republic."
Points of the Compass
"Most all structural iron, irradiated metals such as gas and electric fixtures are imported into the country. This is also true of the better grades of office and household furniture, shoes, clothing, men and women's furnishings, in fact one can imagine the models of the man-made things necessary in the many things that could be made and sold to profitable advantage in nearly every section of this rice country."
"The government encourages home production of necessities by maintaining a high protective tariff on all manufactured imports. The wisdom of the government, in this connection, is sustained by the great abundance of raw materials available everywhere that it awaits the disposition to turn them into manufactured products. I again emphasize, however, that the people who go to Brazil must possess a good working knowledge of the business and trades they wish to follow, and they must also acquire a reasonable acquaintance with the Portuguese language which is spoken in the country."
Health of the People
"But the cultivation of the land," continued Mr. Rambo, "is the shortest and most practical way to success in Brazil. You can't miss it if you go this way. Land is cheap, land is fertile, as fertile as it is anywhere on the earth. There is no place that I know about where land is as cheap and as good as it is in Brazil. And there is no end to crops. You sow and you reap, and you sow and you reap again. It is almost an endless proposition. A crop matter in Brazil. This farming profitable investment, the market is ever ready, both domestic and foreign, for your products and labor effort is quite a negligible question in the investment. Any place in the Brazilian Republic will serve the purpose of the man who desires to enjoy a profitable farm life, for that is what farming means in Brazil."
After The Loaves
And Fishes
Washington, D. C. Dec. 23—It is stated here that Senator-elect A. E. Weller will spend most of his time here until the time for the new Senate to meet. This, no doubt, will result in considerable amount of travel between here and Baltimore for some time to come. There are a number of well paying offices to be distributed soon after the incoming administration gets down to work. So far all of these office seekers can be white people; no colored man has as yet been considered in the general grab all. It looks very much like conditions will prevail similar to that now prevailing under Mayor Browning. Some of the offices sought are the Collector of the Port, Postmaster, Collector of Internal Revenue, Naval Officer, Surveyor of the Port. United States Marshal, Deputies, Chief Clerks, and many others, all of which are being sought by white persons. These positions pay from $7,000 down to $1,100.
Washington, Dec. 30.—Charges that many Negroes in the Southern states are not permitted to vote will be aired by the House census committees in considering the re-apportionment bill, it was announced today by Chairman Siegel.

many important facts. Not the

Publicity and the Press
President-elect Warren G. Harding, in a special statement for the Associated Negro Press, said: "Publicity is going to be the greatest weapon of all in furthering the cause of the Colored people of the United States." That statement is being accepted by the Colored people as a trumis and motto of inspiration. Not only within the ranks is there far greater publicity than ever before, more read-

In the Matter of Religion
North and South, East and West, have steered themselves with a surplus of "grim determination." to go forward contending for justice and freedom, fearing no consequences but failure, and seeing no results but success. The entire race, forming practically one-third of the total population of the United States, realizes that "the cost of success, and that whatever of contention or prejudice for our strivings there may be, would be turned to prism: we we coequal economically, and not a minority.
"Naturally a religious people" is no less true than it ever was, however there is a new sense of religion manifesting itself among Colored people generally. Emotional religion is unquestionably passing away. The great majority of Colored Americans have a high regard for the Christian faith and yet there has developed a well-defined strain of cynicism and a goodly amount because the humane nature of many people the whites "practice their religion." All religious demonstrations are increasing the demands for an efficient ministry, and congregations a commendable desire to give ministers better salaries. Everywhere church attendance is large.

THEATRE
The Douglass Theatre
Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street.
When the Half-Million Dollar Dumbar Theatre at bread and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, opened last December, several of Baltimore's prominent citizens were present.
All of them were very lavish in their praise of the beautiful theatre, and were all agreed that it was the handsomest theatre in the United States owned and controlled by colored people. And the request was made on that evening that a duplicate of the Dumbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore.
The management once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that the theatre in the "Monumental City" would be not only an asset to our people there, but would become a big money-maker from the very start.
With that thought ever foremost, we began quietly looking for a suitable location for the theatre, and finally found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue.
It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition.
Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the attentive audience of the Dumbar in Philadelphia and the Lafayette in New York with such wonderful success.
Here is an opportunity for Baltimore colored people to cash in on the experience which has been gained in the operation of this now famous chain of colored theatres, which is constantly growing in number and importance throughout the country.
The facts are here presented in a plain, simple manner. If you are interested in the development of the race along cultural lines, here is your opportunity to do your part in bringing about this condition. Invest in the Douglass Amusement Corporation stock, and help to make the Corporation a success and a distinct asset to the race.
THE SITE—of this magnificent theatre (now in course of construction) is on Pennsylvania avenue between Lanvale street and Lafayette avenue, and is the best location for a building of this kind, anywhere in the city.
THE GROUND was purchased for cash—there are no mortgages or ground rent—sure is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre.
THE THEATRE will cost four hundred thousand dollars($400,000) and will be as beautiful as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia.
THAT the colored people of Baltimore may have the opportunity of having a theatre of their own, and at the same time share in the profits, we have organized the Douglass Amusement Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Maryland and Capitalized for $500,000.
AT THIS TIME we are offering for sale a limited number of shares of the 7% Participating Preferred Stock at Ten Dollars a share. Ownership of this stock gives the holder an interest in the valuable property of the Corporation, which will be made profitable by the production of the finest theatrical productions available.
THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of 8% during the first year of its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor.
IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to present any greater arguments in favor of purchasing this stock than the fact that the building is now being erected and the personal of the management of the Corporation.
THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been highly gratifying. Baltimore has rallied grandly to the idea of a theatre for our people and owned by our people.
Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do.
Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets.

George A. Watty—"That I shall stick with the Pythians and let politics alone."
Rev. M. J. Naylor—"That Sharp Street will maintain in lead in its efforts to better the community about it by means outside of the Church proper.

About 15 children between the age of six and ten were a soiled tutty dinner with ice cream and cake.
They left and appeared several hours later with another African whose dark complexion, hair and features were evidence of the Nama culture.
A beautiful and gorgeous tree was in the village and topp up a large snow in the center of the village hall, and anybody's heart would have jumped for joy to see the children, how happy they were, they played around the tree for most of the afternoon.
"Let me look at your hair!" asked Clark Kelly? The spokesman refused and the party left, saying they would return later. Kelly explained to a representative of the AFRICA AMERICAN that he had to list each applicant according to race and bad no option in the matter. Only whites and Negroes may be naturalized in the United States.
About 4:30 the children were gathered and after an interviewing and a preambling talk by Boothie Stevens and Boothie Wash. Boothie the children were each given a bag of candy and a toy of some kind.

Class Leaders Stated to Resign

Walter Jones secretary of the church, who was the team controls the financial affairs of the church. He asserts that the obligations of the church are paid for all the manner prescribed by the laws of the A. M. E. Church, and that all cloaks are signed by him and the church treasurer. He denied that the pastor dictated anything about the deceases and claimed that the officers were not under the domination of the pastor.

"THE PRINCE CHAP" with Thomas Meighan
WILLIAM PEYTON, a sculptor, living in California is compelled to sell his home after his father's death and goes to London with Runion, his old family servant, to study-art. He is engaged to Alice Travers, a wealthy and aristocratic young girl, and he hopes to be successful and lay fame and riches at her feet.
Peyton finds his purpose difficult of accomplishment, but his memory of Alice is comforting to him at all times. In the studio building in which he lives, there are four artists, with whom he becomes chummy. Among these are Jack, Earl of Huntington, Gerome, Ballington and Yadder. Mrs. Arfington, an American model, ill and penniless, begs Peyton to care for her baby girl. She dies and Peyton finds himself "mothering" Claudia a girl of four years. She becomes the favorite of Peyton and his artist friends, and he tells her the story of his love for Alice in the guise of a fairy tale. Claudia names the hero the "Prince Chap" and the heroine "Princess Alice." As time goes on, Alice remains loyal to Peyton, despite the efforts of her aunt to have her marry Mr. Helmer, a wealthy broker. Three years pass, and Claudia, now eight years old, learns of her daddy's love for Alice. She becomes jealous. Accepting as true the report that Peyton is the father of Claudia, Alice goes to London to learn the truth. Peyton is out when Alice calls and she questions Claudia, who innocently confirms her suspicions. When Peyton arrives, she demands that he send Claudia away as proof of this honor, but he refuses. Alice leaves him, crushed, and Claudia comforts him.

On Christmas morning, while he is preparing presents for Claudia, a box comes from Alice, containing gifts for the child, and Peyton's engagement ring. He collapses but finds comfort in Claudia's embrace. Years pass and Peyton lives broken-hearted. Claudia is now a pretty young woman and she has learned to love Peyton. Jack, Earl of Huntington, who has inherited a title and wealth, falls in love with Claudia, but she refuses to become his wife. Alice must enter their lives, but she is unable to revive Peyton's dead love and she quits him forever. ** Finding his heart swept clean of bitter memories, Peyton awakens to the full realization of his love for Claudia, and it springs into bloom, rendering both happy and contented with the promises of the future.

Sport Comment
Bv SPOTTER
When Referee Bantum attempted to announce the score of the girls' game to the audience a number of rowdies on the Athenians lobbied tried to "drown blim out" with their yells. An act as unquestionably as it was unsportsmanlike. Those scams in their enthusiasm for the home team disregard the rules of sport for sport's sake, and make themselves odorous by such performances.
To all visiting teams:—For heaven's sake don't let Harris get his lunch books on the ball. If you do, but 'em down for two.
"Scrappy" Brown is sure one more versatile athlete, Running, jumping, swimming, fighting, baseball, all look alike to blim. He can "jump and light" in basketball, "run and steal" (bases) in baseball, "get away and go like LI... on the trotker and so there go
on the track," so there you've got him, and you can't hurt him either.
"Ev" Rather tried hard to get his name on the list of scouts who had hard knuckle haunted him, and in addition he got a "bop" in the mouth from one of the opposing players, which however unintentional was certainly felt by "Ev." and unintentionally left a bad taste in his mouth for the remainder of the game.
That bird who shot all of the fouls for the Washingtonians ought to try his arm up at the "Citizens." He surely ought to "get right out."
There was one "beet" on the Washington team who looked enough like Harris to have been fed out of the same nursing bottle with him, and Lyles frequently threw the half to him thinking he was Harris, but anyway the dealer didn't know what to do with it after he got it so little luck was best.
"Noomie" Rige who played guard for the locals is all there when it comes to arms. He's got a pair like a couple clothes props and they are all the time in the way of the opposing forwards, just like Henry Ford's hizies get in the way of Mr. Pierce's "Arrows," and Mr. Hudson's "Supers."
When it comes to squirming out of close places Referee Lane is a knock-out. Harris tried to show him "where-in" on one of the plays of the game, and, with the rule book said the same thing Harris did, that didn't go with the lobber, so like the good sport he is, Harris withdrew his objections and the game proceeded with Lane in full charge of the whistle and the decisions.
Telling why Lincoln lost to Hampton, Mr. Williams is reported as saying, that coach Colford refused to allow the team to leave Lincoln Thursday as planned, but waited over until Friday so that they arrived in Hampton on Saturday, six hours before the game, a sleepy and rest broken eleven.
Their defeat he says, together with the absence of the coach over two-thirds of the time, broke the spirit of the team.
The bands of the new manager it is said, are untid, and he will rebuild the Lincoln Team in his own way.
Petersville, Maryland
December 25, 1920.
Editor the Afro-American:
My attention has been called to an article that appeared in your paper last week entitled "Lincoln University receives $100,000." I intend to this article, I desire to make the following correction:
Lincoln did not receive a gift to the amount of $100,000 on the date suggested, and Mr. Darbout was not on the campus of Lincoln University.
The facts in the case are that the superintendent of the schools of the state of Delaware paid us a visit, told us of the work that Mr. DuPont was doing for Negro schools in that state, and promised to use his influence to the end that Mr. DuPont might become interested in Lincoln University, and that he might aid Lincoln in her Endowment Campaign.
Very truly yours,
J. NEWTON GILL,
(Lincoln University, Pa.)
P. S.—The AFRO-AMERICAN received such information through what it regarded as a reliable source.—The Editor.

Wins Middleweight Championship and Diamond Belt
Panama Joe Gans Gives Fine Exhibition In New York
BESTS SAILOR
Seaman From Charleston Victim Of Severe Beating
Panama Joe Gans gained permanent possession of the "colored middle-weight championship belt" which was donated by Promoter Tex Buckard, in the semifinal of the Tournament in which he engaged Sailor Darden of Charleston, S. C. It was Panama Joe's third successful defense of the gold and diamond studded buckle and as is provided under the terms of the deed of gift, Panama Joe can now call the emblem his very own. The Negro boxer with the best face to his ring name previously defeated George Robinson and George Christian.
Darden gave Gans a margin of ten pounds in weight, and Gans gave Darden a sound thrashing in return. On the three who questioned Gans's possession of the Rickard belt, Darden was the toughest. The boxer from the boxing ring, however courage and ring grit. These however were his only qualifications.
Darden disported himself in promising style in the first round when he bowled Giang about the ring, and in head-to-head milling pinned the latter's body. Darden, however, outpaced Giang in his round of the latter's little but absorb the punishment moted out by the clever, fast-hitting ating.
In the second round, Giang landed a right to the jaw which swept Darden off his feet and sent him crashing down in his own corner, but the latter's grip up with abandon for the formality of a count by Referee Jack Bonnym.
In every round, up to the final, Darden just took everything that came his way, while Gians hollowed him from every angle and with every known flaw. The judges verdict was rendered in favor of Giang, who chose the end of the bout, Gians weighted 149.5 pounds and Darden 159.2.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN
The Juniors of the Druld Hill Y. M. C. A. added another victory to their last last Saturday evening when they defeated the All Comers, made up of the Carey and Waesche Street Schools, by the score of 26-21.
The game was fast and close from the start, being tie from time to time from the start until the last five minutes of play. The Junior Five were not up to par and did not get to scoring strong until the last part of the last half. They fought like demons and showed fine team work during the game.
Madden starred for the "T" caging four baskets and playing a strong game at guard. Capt. Shields showed that he was there with clever floor work and fast passes to his team mates. Hawkins also played well and gave his opponents trouble by his left handed back shot. Covington starred for the All Comers, caging four baskets and five four goals. The All Comers showed evidences of good material and with good coaching will make a good team.
The light weight team, the Little Five played the preliminary. This small team will be the stars of tomorrow if they keep up their speed and accuracy. Thomas Paige and Jerome Woods as forward are hard to beat in the smaller basket ball world. Thomas Paige is a demon shooter—caged five baskets in the game. Jerome Woods' floor work is a continual baffling to his opponents. Tucker and Smallwood at guards are a combination hard to beat. Neal Gilmore at center makes the team a complete machine. Watch this small team. They will make themselves heard of in the sport world. Come and see them play New Year's day at the "Y."

the whole expose as a political campaign maneuver.
We did not go in by invitation, but resisted to the limit of her powers. Of course, there is a so-called treaty which was ratified by both governments, but it must be remembered that Hatti signed literally at the point of a pistol. While this treaty which was ratified September 16, 1915, was being negotiated, President Dartignave issued a proclamation, the first and last paragraphs of which read as follows:
"Haitians: At the very moment when the Government engaged in negotiations to settle the question of the presence of American military forces on Haitian territory, was looking forward to a prompt solution in accordance with law and justice, it finds itself faced with the simple seizure of possession of the customs administration of the capital.
"Haitians: In this agonizing situation, more than tragic for every truly Haitian soul, the Government, which intends to preserve full national sovereignty, will be able to maintain the necessary resolution only if all are united in exercising their intelligence and energy with it in the present task of saving the nation."
"As to Haiti's position with her creditors, the fact is that in all her 116 years of national independence she never defrauded in any payment of her foreign debt until after and during the American Occupation.
"From the very first the attitude of the Occupation has been that it was dealing with conquered territory. All the powers of the Haitian government, military and civil, were at once seized. A convention demanding more than was ever contemplated by diplomatic means, a convention in which Haiti virtually foresaw its independence, was forced upon the republic.
"It was in this manner that the United States government, under an administration that has loudly proclaimed democracy and self-determination and the rights of small nations, seized a neighborly and friendly nation, one in which no American citizen has ever been killed or a dollar's worth of American property harmed—with less justification than Austria's invasion of Serbia or Germany's rape of Belgium, without any other warrant than the one "Might makes right."

Fritz Pollard, the Akron Pro's flashy little halfback, is an interesting character. The stories told of him are some times based on the wildest press agent's dreams, yet a good share of them can be set down as very nearly right.
There was never a wiser head in football than the little fellow who holds the distinction of being the only colored man picked on Walter Camp's All-American teams. When the talk was strongest this season over the rivalry between Thorpe and Pollard and it was strongly intimated the Indian would "get" the Akron star, Fritz came across with the following: "Some of these football players spend all their time figuring how they're going to 'get' a follow. Fritz doesn't. When I was in college I used to lay awake nights dreaming how I could take care of myself. I don't want to 'get' the other fellow, but I'm going to be pretty sure he doesn't 'got' me."
Izize the Akron star. After the Canton Akron game Thanksgiving Fritz walked into the Hotel Portage. Two bell boys were noticed to look him over and then started an argument. It required Pollard's teammates to convince the one bellboy that he was really looking at the distinguished idol. Then he produced two bits, paid it to the other as settlement of the bet they made regarding Pollard.

Hail to old happy and joyous Christmas
The time of all times is here.
And-all, or at least the most of us should try our blessings to share
There are some who are not as fortunate
There are some who are not as glad it's to us who are joyous and jubilant to cheer up those who are sad.
A word or a smile, though it may seem small.
It might be added that the speed merchant's plan has been mighty successful. Fans have perhaps noticed that no matter how hard the 200 pounders crash into the little fellow, he usually is so protected that he emerges from the bottom of the pile with a grin on his face.
Members of the Akron Press sweep by Pollard. An incident occurred an Akron restaurant that proved this. Fails in company with Bob Nash, Charley Akron and others, walked into an Akron restaurant to be served. The waiter took everybody's order but Pollard's. He didn't care to serve Fritz Couley and Nash watched.
A doll, a book, a horn or a ball, will bring cheer to some tiny tot. We must give us our Father has told us it is more blessed to give than receive. Then we will have a more happier Xmus.
When we try some sad heart to relieve God gave his only begotten Son. That whoever believe shall not die but when his work on earth is done let us make this Xmus a most merry by sharing as much as we can. Some day, we'll receive the glad well done.

MILDRED SMITH WINS FIRST PRIZE
Offers Best Suggestion In Afro Contest For Saving Time In House Work
MISS THOMAS, SECOND
Beatrice Mercer, Of Centre ville, Md., Is Third Prize
Winner
First prize, $2.50—Miss Milred Smith, 1809 Dud Hill Ave.
Second prize, $1.50—Miss Jeanette E. Thomas, 914 N. Calhoun St.
Third prize, $1.00—Miss Beatrice Mercer, Centerville, MD.
Miss Milred Smith, of 1809 Drud Hill avenue, walked away with the first prize in AFRO-AMERICAN Contest, number four last week.
MISS THOMAS SECOND
The winner of second prize is Miss Jeanette Thomas, of 914 Colhoun street, who offers an aid to distressed women doing laundry on windy days. She says: "Putting a little salt in starch will prevent the wind from taking the stiffness out."
FOR LAMP USERS
Miss. Beatrice Mercer, of Centerville, Md., offers a help to users of coal oil lamps who just hate the job of 'cleaning dirty oil soaked burners.' She suggests:
"A lamp burner may be cleaned by boiling it in water that beans have been parboiled in."
The Contest Editor asked housekeepers to send in their best suggestion as to how to save time in doing housework and Miss Smith came forward with ones that will save housewives at least an hour a week in time normally used in cleaning bath room and kitchen. Here is her suggestion.
"If coal oil is put in clean water when washing linoleum, the result is a better appearance. When a rag is dampened with coal oil and rubbed over cannel or perforated, it cleans them very nicely."
For the woman who wants to clean a bath tub or a kitchen floor in a jiffy, Miss Smith's method can hardly be beat.
The Contest Editor congratulates the women who offered their best household helps in this contest and reminds women readers, if they are able to save an hour in their house work this week, thanks is due to those who were willing to pass along their best ideas. This week another word contest will be found on page twelve. Honorable mention this week goes to Mrs. Cora Hilleery, 646 George street, who suggests: In froning, fold sheets, hay on board, Iron all flat work on sheets. Presto sheets are done.
Many Made Glad
Many hearts were made glad by the United Relief Association of East Baltimore, which gave fifty-five baskets of provisions and poultry to the poor and wish them all a happy New Year.

An Unusual Incident
An incident somewhat out of the usual course happened last Friday night, at the corner of Madison ave. and Biddle street. Car No. 3143 was going North on Madison avenue, a colored blind man, the one so often seen in the vestibule of Bethel A. M. K. Church, with his stool on his arm, stopped to the door. Conductor No. 3117 opened the door to allow him to alight, then taking him by the arm, he not only helped him down to the street, but took him by the shoulders and piloted him across Madison ave. to the opposite side, put him on the pavement and then came back, jumped on his car, shut the door, rang his bell and then turned the little handle to his fire box, and commenced to count his money as it nothing unusual and happened.
This was the real Christmas spirit. "As ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me."

A. W. Henderson Wants Big Job
But Is Said Not To Desire Any
RACE SUPPORT
Downtown a story is being circulated that A. W. Henderson, white, said to be Mayor Browning's spokesman on the Water Board, has announced that he will be the Republican candidate for Register of Wills next fall, but does "not want a damn 'nigger' to vote for him." The story runs that he made this remark at a meeting of the Water Board, and that he intended to herald the fact that he did not want colored support.
Henderson is the man who at first opposed the appointment of James H. Robertson and Robert L. Price as foreman in the Water Department. His objections were overruled, after Robert L. Stevens, also a member of the Board, took up the matter with Mayor Browning. Henderson is alleged to be a man of decided antipathy to colored people as voters. He is a nephew of the late William T. Henderson, regarded as the first "tilly-white" among the white Republicans of Baltimore.
Five years ago colored voters aided in the defeat of Dr. H. G. Allghe, white, who ran against Howard Jackson, the present incumbent of the office of Register of Wills. Should Henderson get the Republican nomination next year, race support will go largely to Mr. Jackson, who is a Democrat. There are said to be a dozen or more prominent Republican jobholders in the City Hall who are of the belief that the Negro should be given no political consideration.

I was sick for years. As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one thing, and another said something else about my illness. I tried hospitals. They did me no good, and I wore worse all the time. I met the friend Dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1369 North Carey Street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to him. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint no other physician had ever touched upon. He has treated me no and made practically a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend four year old Harry, who had convulsions, and could scourse stand or walk. The child now has no more spasms and is running about. The parents are delighted and think Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell

The AFRO-AMERICAN wishes its thousands of readers a happy and prosperous year during 1921. It appreciates the great problems that will confront the race during the coming year, and will be ever trying to present its articles of news and opinion, in a most informing race-patriotic way.
During the coming year questions of employment, adjustment of labor conditions, the correction of political discriminations and others of similar import will arrest the attention of the people. The AFRO-AMERICAN will aim to interpret these for the race.
Wishing a continuance of your most loyal support, we again wish all a Happy New Year.
We do not know just how far the incoming administration is going to take up and settle present conditions of the race in the South, but there is a large line of work already cut out for it. In proportion as an honest effort is made to remedy present conditions the party in power will receive the support of the colored electorate in places where their votes count, on the other hand if there is nothing done, many who are now sitting in the seats of the mighty will find that there is a strong hand working against them.
There are radicals among us, too many of them we fear, but, if the party in power does not make a serious and honest effort to see that the Amendments to the Constitution are carried into effect, there will be even a greater number of those who will seek to remedy conditions in other ways. This we hope will not be necessary.
MORE BUSINESS MEN WANTED
long over our advertising list for the past and that during that period several of us have been opened in this city for the making business. This is most encouraging as it does that we are awakening a large number of business men of the city to give good and adequate support. It is the hope of the AFRO-AMERICAN institutions shall receive the hearty support interests and thereby enable them where they will become a factor in beckoned with. To note with increased appreciation, the more colored men going into bus. We are certainly glad to see this.
In looking over our advertising list for the past year we have noted that during that period several financial institutions have been opened in this city for the purpose of doing banking business. This is most encouraging, demonstrating as it does that we are awakening to the fact that the large number of business men of the race are in a position to give good and adequate support to these institutions. It is the hope of the AFRO-AMERICAN, that these institutions shall receive the hearty support of the commercial interests and thereby enable them to reach that point where they will become a factor in the community to be reckoned with.
We also note with increased appreciation the fact that there are more colored men going into business than formerly. We are certainly glad to see this effort being put forth. In our opinion there is nothing going to help us so much as our contact with the business world. We have too long been consumers and not producers. The consumer gets little credit for spending his money, for the business world well knows that he has to spend his money somewhere and if he does not spend it with one particular individual he will spend it with another. In the business man knows that if he wants the business from any one individual he will have to get up and go after it, and, if he does not some other fellow will and he will be the loser. The time has come when we will have to get out into the business world and match wits with the other fellow, and in proportion as we measure up so in proportion will we have the respect of the other fellow.
Our History Of Voting
After the revolution, before the 15th Amendment was adopted, free Negroes were enfranchised in many states, including Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and all Northern states, but they were afterward disfranchised in all the Southern States and many Northern States. In Pennsylvania, for instance, Negroes were disfranchised in 1838. In 1861 Negroes had full suffrage on an equality with white voters, in State and National elections, in only four States—Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York.

In a book on "Popular Misgovernment in the United States," Alfred E. Cruikshank argues for limited suffrage, giving as one of the reasons therefore the success of the white South in robbing the Negro of the right to vote. He expresses it as his firm belief that universal suffrage should be substituted for a limited one with property qualification. He states it to be his belief that a limited suffrage would make the country steer clear of Bolshevism.
His argument is based largely to antipathy of Democratic rights for the majority of the people and it is an attack at one of the fundamental principles upon which this government was founded. It is an extension of the Southern idea of race disfranchisement and Northern accuence thereto.
The New York Tribune, in a review of the book, says: "Now, Americans have never taken kindly to the old Federalist doctrine that power should be vested in the hands of the good, the wise and the rich. The municipal maladministration to which Mr. Cruikshank alludes may be ascribed to the bad behavior of certain wealthy interests fully as much as to the ignorance and venality of unpropertied voters. The career of Theodore Roosevelt shows that a reformer may achieve the highest political success, provided he possesses the personality and the ability to present his ideals effectively to the people. "When Mr. Cruikshank uses the exclusion of Negroes from the franchise in the South as an argument against universal suffrage he lays himself open to refutation on several counts. The discrimination between voters practiced in the Southern states is based upon color, not upon property. A thrifty Negro is denied the right which is granted to a shiftless white man. Moreover, it does not appear that the South, despite its restricted franchise is better governed than any other part of the Union.

From all sections of the world come increasing indications that the colored peoples are awakening to the possibilities of their future and the part they are to play in the bettering their condition. Especially is this true of the Negro, not only in this country, but everywhere. In this country the unrest against unjust discrimination is becoming more and more the subject of general discussion and general agitation. This is not only true of the more favored parts of the country, but of the Southern portion as well. This is proven by the large number of colored men and women who tried to cast their votes at the last election, and who, notwithstanding all the efforts put forth to prevent them, crowded to the polls and stayed there until the closing of the polls demonstrated that their votes were not to be received and not to be counted. This demonstrates beyond a doubt that there is a determination on the part of the Negro to secure his rights, and if need be, perish in the attempt.
To offset this, an organization of the old Ku Klux Klan has been revived with the sole purpose of intimidating the Negroes of the South, and the "keeping of them in their place," whatever that may mean. The Negroes are not a bit frightened at this mummy of white cloths and masked faces, and in some cases are disposed to regard the whole business as a sort of comedy at which to laugh. However this may be, there are those who are inclined to take a more serious aspect of the case and are preparing to defend both their rights and their homes. This is a serious matter, and it is to be honored that the constituted authorities will take proper action before there comes an outbreak that will paralyze the whole country. In South and West Africa there comes a rumbling, not at present very loud, but none the less determined. The West India Islands are not altogether free from this coming unheaval.
Japan, has for the present, decided not to press the social equality question, but it is not dead by any means. It will come up again and again until the matter is finally determined. Its being put off will not lessen its intensity, but will, on the contrary, more intensify it. Japan will have to be contended with either diplomacy or by other means.

THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL
Reprinted from Wilmington Advocate
Is There A Santa Claus?
The following editorial, which appeared in the New York Sun, September 21, 1917, has been acknowledged for twenty-three years as the best editorial on Christmas ever written. It is a classic, and will always remain a classic in the English-speaking world.
"We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun;
"Dear Editor, I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says it I can see it in The Sun it's so. Please tell me the truth: is there a Santa Claus?"
115 West Ninety-fifth street. "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the stigmaism of a scapegoat age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of our man is a mere insect, an an, in his intellect as compared with, with his world, with him, as measured by unselfless capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes. Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to our life its thirstest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginia. There would be no child-like, with chin no poetry, no romance to make tolerable the childlike. We should have no enchantment, except in seep and sight. The eternal light, with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your man to hire men to watch in all the chimneys off Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody see Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseen in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's cradle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a well covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, can tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Al. Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, may, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make grad the heart of childhood.
WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL
"A Serious Matter"
El Paso (Texas) Times
It seems that the Republicans are about to make a serious effort to carry not their long discussed threat to cut down the representation of the Southern states. In other words, they plan to consolidate their victory of November so solidly that the G. O. P. will be able to persecute itself in power nationally for an indefinite period.
The basis of the Republican attack is that through distranchement of Negroes the states of the so-called "sold South" cast only 4 per cent of the total vote in the last national election in which they hold the membership of the house of representatives. Incidentally, these members are about all the Democrats have just now and to cut them down would rob a large section of the country of virtually all voice in the government affairs.
It is all very well for gentlemen from Massachusetts and other Northern states to talk in a topo-lotty manner about justice for the Negroes and all that. The race problem is not acute with them, though they are beginning to appreciate it. The riots at East St. Louis and Chicago. Ill., opened the eyes of a lot of people. But down South it is a matter of vital concern. If the Republicans really force the question of Southern representation the people of the
PERISCOPE
"Brunettes"
There are 110,000 colored residents in the city of Baltimore. That forms quite a respectable group of brunettes by itself and is an increase of nearly 30 percent in the decade. At the same time the colored population in Louisville has fallen off. Prohibition hasn't had anything to do with the movement, either.
Illusions
(By William Pickens)
What illusions we live by: For example, whenever anybody says "shootin' dice" or "seven come eleven." We all think of Negroes and shiny eyes. - Why?
Because, for generations the newspapers, the comic page and the comic writer have associated dice and we grin—we so black faces and colored people.
But I paid a couple of visits to Laurex, Mexico, where American white people come over to gamble and drink, on absolute equality with "greens" and "niggers." And whom do you suppose I saw "rolling the bones" with the greatest insatiation and the most perfect post?" American white women, in high-heel shoes and slips. Not a colored woman in sight and just a few colored men.
But: would you ever suppose so, from what you read in print and picture? How would it look in our teenage targets. If after showing those ragged ... egro boys on their knees in an alley, and those Negro "doubles" and "older" rolling down on the flow of that rain, we should put alongside of them that
American white woman, dressed in the height of fashion with dismounts on her hands, with white gloves or all paces around ground and stack their coins, throwing with her jeweled hand, the white diamond amber-colored disc, sumping her fingers like a whip, and calling the game."
"Out Of Date"
Boston (Mass.) Post
It is about half a century since that gate-cap of the Civil War—like Kuyu Khu—made a noise through the Southern States. To such an extent was it successful in disturbing conditions in that section, that the "Force Bill" of 1871 was passed by Congress authorizing the President to make use of the army and navy to suppress it. Even the writ of habeas corpus was suspended in cases of offenders; the courts made short work with them. It is like a leaf from history that we read of the revival of an organization of the same name in the State of Virginia which is making live demonstrations, along similar lines. Last week we saw a parade through the streets of Richmond by about a hundred horsemen, masked and clad in white, whose special attention was given to the terrorizing of those sections of the city in which the Negro population is collected. On Thursday night they actually held a "moss meeting" in the municipal auditorium.
It does not appear, however, that this demonstration will survive the action of local authority looking to its suppression. The times have changed. It is out of date.

April 6th Mrs. Talbert received
the following communication from
the corresponding secretary of the
National Council of Women.
From: the Corresponding Secretary
of the National Council of Women
To: Mrs. Mary B. Talbert
I have the privilege to inform you that you have been chosen as one of the ten delegates from the National Council of women of the United States to the Quinquennial Meeting of the International Council of Women which will be held in Christina, Norway, 1929, September 8th to 16th inclusive. A very prompt reply will be appreciated as a special meeting of the Executive Committee will have to be called to complete the delegation. If there are any who cannot attend as the full quota is desired.
I am sure that you appreciate this honor and the privilege of attending such an historical meeting as this convention must necessarily be, as well as the possibility of helping mould its policies. We in turn are very anxious that you make it possible to attend as you represent a certain group in our country and constituent body in our council is entitled to this representation, so weigh the matter carefully.
I wish to state for your information the delegates are expected to pay their own expense, (unless their organization desire "To send them) but that the ladies of Christians have offered to open their homes in hospitality gratuitously to the delegation during the convention.
Correspondence has been taken up with foreign councils, and if acceptances are prompt arrangements will be made to have the ladies meet in each country by representatives of the Councils in those countries, which will greatly add to the pleasure of the tour and make it a memorable one. A shorter
The outlook for 1921 is indeed most encouraging, cooperation most encouraging, success. American Negroes have learned this great lesson, and nothing can separate us in unity of purpose. The greatest guides for 1921 promise to be commercial, but there is not the slightest disposition anywhere to sacrifice anything political. The city of the race is: "We must all work together and we will get somewhere." By no claims of luxury or reason can the race see why all others should be grazed all things we are depicted. Aroused to a thoroughly thinking standard, it cannot be soon why we should make other weakly connected to us. The great thrush we are functioning against us to threed."
As I reside in New York I will gladly look up any details or make any reservations for you that you may suggest. Whatever plan is decided upon I find that reservations should be made within the month if possible, to assure ones being able to get across even in September.
May I hear from you in the near future as to the probability of your attendance and just what plan of transportation you will be most interested in?
Thanking you in advance for your reply, I am

Genuine Business
Advancement
The year 1920 will go down in history as one of great business advancement among Negroes. The opening of individual lines of business and the establishment of gigantic corporations have increased the activities of the commercial world to magnificent proportions. Success of new corporations have been formed in every section of the country, and a number of them subscription and actual printing of have been able to announce the $100,000.00, $200,000.00 and even more in good United States money for the promotion of various enterprises, manufacturing, insurance, banking, building, and other lines. A $1,000,000.00 banking combination corporation in which leading Negroes in the banking and business world are interested, to be opened in New York, has recently been announced. The people of our group are enthusiastic about the opportunities offered in employment and executive positions our company trained me and
Outlook For 1921
The outlook for 1921 is indeed most encouraging, cooperation brings success. American Negroes have learned this great lesson, and nothing can separate us in unity of purpose. The greatest strides of the 1921 promise to be commercial, but there is not the slightest disposition anywhere to sacrifice anything political. The cry of the race is: "We must all work together and we will be somewhere, no no claims of logic or reason can the race so why all others should be granted all things which we are denied. Aroused to a thoumghy thinking standard, it cannot be seen why we should be made other wealthy while we remain poor. As a great throng we are functioning, and we expect to torge ahead."

A NATIONAL.
The following disputed from the Associated Negro Press. Washington correspondent is of great interest: Ever since 1912, when the National Negro Business League met in Chicago, Illinois, the Negro banking institutions of the country have been seeking the formation of banking affiliations which would put them in line with the great banking establishments of the country on a basis entirely satisfactory to all concerned. A banquet was given in honor of the representatives of the colored banking institutions at Chicago in 1912 at the famous Palmer House, out nothing definite came out of the movement.
At the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League, held in Philadelphia, August, 1220, Dr. Emmanuel J. Sext, secretary of to National Negro Business League, keeping in mind the efforts which have been made during the past few years to put colored banking institutions in touch with the great captains of industry, invited certain representatives of New York banking interests to meet with a group of colored bankers in Philadelphia.
At that conference last August a full, free, and informal interchange of opinions took place. Out of the conference grew the decision to pursue the effort to a final conclusion so that colored banks may not be handicapped in the future as they have been in the past by lack of sympathetic help and cooperation at the hands of the larger banking interests of the country. Negotiations are now under way looking to closer affiliations of this character and the effort is being supported by some of the most important of the colored and white banking institutions of the country. A capital fund of one million dollars will be used to finance the program. Full announcements of the details will be made from New York within the next few days. Application for charter has already been made by groups representing the various interests involved.

They are masters of fresh and strength once rarely use violence in the most hostile cases, but when they tell you you are under arrest in their mild and sorry terms, you will be convinced before they are through that you are under arrest if you offer resistance.

The Negro And The Souah
I does not seem to have occurred to Mr. Thunham, of Massachusetts, that the Negroes of the South, or account of whom he wants Southern representation reduced are better represented than they would be if they voted more extensively than they do. The Negro in the South is very well satisfied except as he is inflamed by outside mollers. He gets more consideration in the South than in the North else he would migrate to the North in larger numbers and those who do go there would stay longer.
I had always said when the time would come for me to make my how to matronly I would select an old man; that is a man my son. But it seemed as though everyone differed from my son go to an old man's needs of a young wife.
ability to caring for and attending to. Mother said that it was the love she each other that really counted, so I took nothing else under consideration and decided to marry the man of my choice. Lewis was ten years older and of a very rober but affectionate disposition. On course the data side, like all other things, was hidden at the time, but it just seemed to me he was just pretended in every way and never once doubled his ability as tar as a true husband was conceived.
My brother said "so Pauline when you are just beginning to see things that old right will be dying of old age." Even the girls I had been going around with said "we will have another vacant chair now as Pauline may be needed to turn tables and drink in the old folks."
With all this I never changed my decision and the day I was married I will never forget it was the saddeat I felt I had ever experienced, even my passion seemed to look on me with pride. I was glad to be alone after it was all over, and we had started on a little trip.

me with questions. I am above all anxious to have you understand the relations between your race and mine for just at this moment they are rather strained, and although we hope for the best, we are fearful of the consequences—not for ourselves, you understand, but for you. You have as a race, neither the ability nor the means to harm us, but we are a peaceful role, depreciating all violent measures and resisting to them only when they alone are available."
Now I began to be convinced that the negro was insane, and I quietly felt for my revolver, to see if it were handy and if it were loaded. He observed my action, and remarked dryly: "Have no fear of me. Your weapon is useless, in any event, as I will show you before the day is out. Are you a good shot with the revolver?"
"Pretty fair," I replied.
"Very well, I will let you test it soon. But we must get on. This talk is profitless. I must give you an inkling of what has been happening in the world. I cannot enter into small details or general history, for I have made no special study of that subject, but we have good historians, notably our librarian, and he will doubtless help you to hunt up anything you may wish to know about the past, when we visit him in the library—that large white building "ponder" and he pointed to the cellar I had noticed particular on the previous evening when I caught my first glimpse of the valley. "But I know the history of my own people, our great men, our early struggles, our world-changing discoveries, and our gradual development until we arrived at our present dominant position."
Here he ceased speaking for a moment, rose to a standing position, and extended his arm toward the group of ball players I had noticed us we came along. They evidently saw him rise and presently one of them, who proved to be his son, separated himself from the others and stood apart. The Negro made signs with his hands and arms, which were answered by the boy and shortly he ran back to the house, and the Negro seated himself again on the ground in silence.
CHAPTER 9
A REMARKABLE STORY
The boy soon recaptured running out from behind the house, and scrawled toward us, bouncing something that looked like a naked top in his hand. It did not take him long, with his anticrot, to reach us, and he gained its burden to his either arm and hurried away to his games.
He had brought along what appeared to be a hat, can board, milk brown in color, and circuit in form, both too cool in direction, and possibly a thirty-second of an arm creech. He said it upon the grass beside him, and proceeded with his tamenely rebarring oil-crust that he should need it by and to those points or other which a might otherwise and cancely, in accepting upon its bare statement, for, as he said with a smile, "you belong to an incredulous race. That is one time.
that has returned your advancement. The white people know what they think they have proved, we prove what we know. You put the proof before conviction. We start with conviction and end with proof. And this reversal of your methus has always seemed to you to be nonexcuse, and always will be in the future, of the natural organic imminations of your minds. However, that is merely on the way, I must get on."
Here I could not help interrupting: "Do you mean to say that the law way to acquire knowledge is to believe first and then search for proof? That seems very absurd to me."
"Just as I said. You cannot understand. We have not time for argument as to that. Instead I do not know that argument with you or one of your race would be worth whine but before we pass on to bother and more important subjects, I will give you an inspiration in the fact that you must
yourselves compelled by the very nature of things, to adopt as the foundation of all your science, so-called the same principle that we do. You rest all your knowledge upon the conviction that there is an external world and yet your philosophies and wise then all agree that there is no way or moving it, that you never have provided it, and never can. In that case you start with belief, and search afterwards for proof, which you have not yet found. But now let us go on.
You will have understood by this time that we consider the whites to belong to an interior race. There can be no doubt about it whatever, although they still retain toward other races that superhuman or aien wren seems to be a part of their nature. This is one of the characteristic qualities of the race which has always operated to prevent its advancement beyond a certain point. When they have reached a certain height of civilization and progress they do not stop and mark time, as it were, until they can get their breath for a further advance, but their civilized society falls to pieces, and they relapse into what its almost barbarism, so that when a snow slave is made on an impulse of stimulus, which always, comes from
outside, they have to develop slowly again to about the same degree of civilization, they attained before, or perhaps a little higher. Their history consists of a perpetual series of rises and falls, a monotonic succession of periods of civilization and savagery. The essential defect of the white race which brings about these deplorable relapses, when so much of what they had gained is lost, is the very quality upon which they have always taken great pride, namely, the instinct for domination. They have always insisted that their civilization was the only true civilization, their methods the only true methods, their science, the only true science, their religions the only true religions, although they were never able to agree on any one and that it was their privilege and their duty to impose their fashions of every sort upon the other races of the globe. They were destined by their physical, mental and moral superiority to be the masters and teachers of the rest.
of the world, and so they set about it. In every era of the world's history, this domineering instinct has been the cause of their downturn. There has been one such lapse into barbarism since the twentieth century, and they are now again upon the rising tide and have reached just about the stage of their kind of civilization which they had attained early in the twentieth century. When I take you back to your own people, you will not see so very much difference in living conditions, aside from certain changes in the physical configuration of the land, and the fact that you will find yourself thrown among personal strangers, whose language you may at first find it a little difficult to understand.
"In contrast with your people, the other races of the world have not had these ups and downs. They have heckled or sunniped this colorizing ten-
out of suppressed instincts of deny, and have advanced step by step, retaining after each advance all or nearly all that had been gained, and although they have sometimes halted for hundreds of years, they have never retrogressed in any marked degree, but when aroused by a new stimulating, they have taken up their onward march from a point already gained by previous generations. This steady, though gradual, progress of the races other than white, going on beside the frequent and regular rehephes of the whites, due as I have said to their absolute inability to progress beyond a certain point without going backward, has had already its
invisible result, viz.: the white race has been left far behind. They were like precious children, and for hundreds of years were dominant in the world, but they were gradually passed by the yellow races, and finally by the black ones. The white race, though we call of condesc as ever, now stands at the bottom, and the Negroes have come to their own, as the leading race. If you are not tired of listening, I will now proceed to explain to you how this has come about, and give some idea of what has happened in the world within the past three thousand years. Or shall we leave it until another time?
"No, no, go on," I exclaimed. "I am not extremely interesting, although, of course, I cannot subscribe to your opinion of the race to which I belong."
"I must know that that the Negro race remained in men the situation with white you were humiliated into the twenty-first century, but in the year 2001 was born one most great path, that is to say, the first path of the very race who counts with the greatest men in the country in the world, one to the very few who so judge in the first rank and are power upon us really great geniuses. He was born on a small farm in the other belt" (so ended at the time) in the state of Georgia, one of the United States of America, and his name, under the grandiloquent style of our race, which was then in its childhood, was
George Washington Napoleon Bonaparte Andrews. When we became a man, however, he abandoned the superfluous names by which we had once cherished, and called insult George Andrews, and by that name his memory has been named down to us."
"Excuse me for interrupting you for one moment," I said, "but I notice that you disest the term 'cherished', and that your dates seem to be based upon me Christian era. Is Christianity your religion?"
"Yes," he said, "we are Christians. We have retained the religion and the language of that portion of the white race among whom we spent the years of our language. We are able to teach Christian lives, and I am confident that you will recognize the fact that we apply the teaching of Jesus in our daily lives as your race was never able to do. The whites never had more than a thin veiner of Christianity. They were always too bloodly and behouse, too dumbnessing and selfish and I may add, always will us, for they are racially incapable of seeing the toll of it. The language we have also retained, considerably modified, is true, so that you will and you cannot understand it, but our scholars all speak and understand ancient 'English,' I, who am not a scholar, also understood old English, because it is necessary for my work in life.

"I shall be glad to accompany you and solve this mystery in which I seem to be more and more deeply involved. How can you expect me to believe all you have been telling me, or to acquiesce in your estimate of me and my countrymen?"
"I do not expect it at the present moment, but you will believe me before you leave this spot. But we lose time of thesegressions, and I must get on more rapidly with my brief historical review and give you a practical demonstration of our advanced civilization. In the year 2067, then, George Andrews was born, and lived and worked with his father, a small partner, until he was of age, when he went out into the world to shift for himself. He was an industrious, sober ingenious and capable man and soon found employment in a large manufactory of electrical appliances conducted by a Negro corporation. Here he worked for many years, gradually rising to the position of foreman and Assistant Manager. During this time he had been noticed as a reckless, solitary man, who spent his leisure time at home, mostly in a workroom he had fitted up for himself, into which no one else was ever allowed to enter. In 2067, when he was thirty years of age he surprised everyone in the factory and all his friends and
acquaintances by insisting on throwing up his position, and leaving the town, which was practically a town of Negroes, and where he was looked upon as one of the leading men. He disappeared, and it was not known what had become of him for nearly two years, when an intimate friend received a letter from him dated at Washington, the capital of the nation,

and giving some account of his doings since dropping out of sight. He had withdrawn into the depots of an extensive piece of woodland, where he built a nut, laid in a stock of provisions and a few tools, and worked alone trying to perfect an invention based upon an accidental discovery of his, made in the course of his regular work at the factory. This discovery was of such a revolutionary nature and so tremendous in its possible development that he did not dare to breathe a word about it to anyone until he had tested it tully, for fear that he should be looked upon as insane, and possibly commined for life. His estimate of the discovery proved to be correct, his invention for its utilization had been satisfactorily completed, and he was now in Washington to bring the results of his labor to the notice of the Federal Government. He was expecting to offer the invention to the government, with no other recompense than the fame that he knew would attach to his name and the moderate pecuniary reward that he was confident would be voted by Congress as an evidence of the gratitude of the nation for so great a boon.

"Judge of his surprise when every official, from the highest to the lowest in the government service, not only absolutely refused to consider the matter at all, but ejected him, sometimes with violence, from the public buildings, and finally issued orders that this 'crazy nigger Andrews' should not be allowed to pass the outside door. Knowing what he had and what he had discovered these rebels almost made him crazy in reality, and it was many days before his mind recovered its balance. Then and there he resolved to cast his lot, for the rest of his life, with his own race, and abjure the white race forever. So he left Washington and never returned, but the very night he departed he sent letters to the President and members of the Cabinet, as well as to the most prominent department heads and members of o'Cregg, whom he had tried to interest in his schemes, and every letter was the same, containing on a single sheet these words and nothing more: "Woe to the Whites."
"It may be imagined that some excitement followed the receipt of these letters, for they were believed to presage a Negro insurrection. They were easily traced a Andrews, but he had disappeared and no white man ever saw him again or ever had any suspicion of his whereabouts, excepting that now and then a vague rumor would float about among them that he was still living, and busily engaged in some sort of missionary work among his own people. Nothing happened to disturb their serenity and in a year or two he and his vagaries were practically forgotten."

understand the mental attitude of both, when I tell you what it was. The discovery, which, as I have said, was an accident, was 'a means of insulation against the magnet.' More or less complete electrical insulation had been attained for many years, but the magnetic force had never been insulated. This possibility of insulating the magnet immediately suggested to Andrews the construction of a rotary engine, with the rapid insulation and release of the magnetic forces as the motive power, thus doing away at one stroke with the necessity of using heat or combustion in any form that was to invent this engine that he withdrew himself for a time from the society of his fellow men, and in the solitude of that forest he accomplished his object. At the time of his attempt to interest the authorities at Washington in his projects, therefore, he had a practicable, powerful engine, suitable for any kind of mechanical work which would run indefinitely, without waste and without consumption of any form of energy excepting that of the magnet. In other words he had practically solved the old problem of perpetual motion.
"It is difficult to understand how highly trained scientific men could have rejected with contempt and without examination the claims of anyone that he had discovered a method of magnetic insulation, for a demonstration would have taken but a moment and it had never been proved to be impossible. So the natural inference is, although from the remoteness of the event we are ignorant of the facts, that Andrews, filled with enthusiasm over his engine, and absorbed in contemplation of its vast possibilities, presented himself as the inventor of 'perpetual motion', which had long been known to be a delusion and an impossibility, so that scientific men had for many years treated all claims of the sort with derivative contempt. However that may have been the facts were as I have stated. Andrews washed his hands of the white race forever, and would have nothing to do with them thereafter.

"I cannot enter into further details for lack of time, but at length the competition became so severe and the under cutting of prices by the Negro manufacturers so destructive to the industries of the whites, that the latter were reduced to adopt extreme measures in defense, and after various things had been tried in vain, like discriminating taxation, and other unconstitutional methods. It was finally determined that a Negro state should be created, and all the Negro population of the United State aggregated there and left, as it was contemporaneously at the time, to sow in their own price. This was finally accomplished, exchanges of property were made, immense financial complications adjusted, white men moved out, Negroes moved in, and the United States was composed of a large body of States entirely occupied by whites, and one enormous state, or nation with nearly 20,000,000 of inhabitants, wholly
He now began to devote himself entirely to the interests of his own people. The Negroes in the United States had already taken a considerable part in the industrial development of the country, and there were many large manufacturers and industrial corporations among them, engaged in active competition with the whites, although as their rivalry began to be telt in commercial circles, very conceivable method had been adopted by the whites, who were in the majority, to hamper them in their work and restrict their activities. It was among a dissatisfied and rebellious people, therefore, that Andrews began his work. He went about among them, explaining the treatment he had received at Washington, and urging them to elong together as a race, devoted to each other and leagued against the whites. He showed them how they could obtain a
clear superiority, by the use of his engines, from which they could obtain power practically without cost, and gradually introduced them in all the factories where Negroes only constituted the managing and working
force. It was a work of years, for it had to be done secretly, but by the time he had attained his fifteenth year, he had the entire Negro population of the country in a powerful and exclusive league against the whites, and he had done the work so shrewdly and cautiously that the fact was never suspected by the rival race.
"Andreas had every Negro pledged to secrecy, had his engines installed in all Negro establishments, and had them everywhere placed in secret locations, inaccessible excepting to the engineers and managers, so that when white men alarmed by the increasing and rentless competition of Negro manufacturers, obtained access to the plants they were never able to discover the source of the power that was used. Every factory had its chimney as of old, and dummy furnaces in which fuel was occasionally burned, so as to emit a little smoke and disarm suspicion. And so matters went on for some years.
"I cannot enter into further details for lack of time, but at length the competition became so severe and the under cutting of prices by the Negro manufacturers so destructive to the industries of the whites, that the latter were reduced to adopt extreme measures in defense, and after various things had been tried in vain, like discriminating taxation, and other unconstitutional methods, it was finally determined that a Negro state should be created, and all the Negro population of the United State segregated there and left, as it was contemporaneously said at the time, to sow in their own price. This was finally accomplished exchanges of property were made, immense financial complications adjusted, white men moved out, Negroes moved in, and the United States was composed of a large body of States entirely occupied by whites, and one enormous State, or nation with nearly
20,000,000 of inhabitants, whohly composed of Negroes. As you may readily imagine, this wholesale transfer of population and of business interests was not carried through without great friction and many bloody conflicts, but it was completed, and both peoples settled down to work out their own destiny. During this process, which transformed the whole face of the country, the Negroes succeeded, under the leadership of Andrews, who was nearly seventy years old, maintaining their secret compact, and when the whites eagerly took possession of the dismantled Negro factories and searched them from top to bottom for and explanation of their industrial superiority, they found not a trace of Andrews mysteries engines. They had all either been removed to the new abode or had been so utterly destroyed, that any attempt at reconstruction must have been futile. And so the whites learned nothing and for the first time in their progress as world-beaters, found themselves battled and disconcerted by the despised Negro.

To the Editor:
A Down in Congress, our national law makers are being confronted with various petitions from so-called activists, asking that Sunday has be made for the District of Columbia. These petitions are being sent in from different parts of the country, and would it be misleading by a few facts before your readers as to the dangers involved in web legislation?
Among the various excuses put forth for regulating the business of other people on Sunday is that it is detrimental to health to work seven days in the week. We are a number of things that are detrimental to health, and if children start in to register health matters, they are essential to good health to the proper amount of sleep (which is lost in the warm sense). It is essential also, to eat the right kind of food, and at the proper time, and in the proper amount, and have it hygienically prepared and combined. It is proper that one should diet for dyspepsia, or have a lumbago impaired because of a severe case of clothing are proper at different seasons of the year in order to have the adequate protection against cold in winter, and not suffer from heat in summer. Bathing is also necessary and

citizen to be vaccinated, not because he will die if he contracts the smallpox, but because if he does contract it, he will be a source of contamination, and endanger the lives of others. But Sunday labor is not infections. It endangers the civil rights of no one. It is no more civil to work on Sunday than on Wednesday.
But who knows for sure that Sunday labor is detrimental to health. It is comparatively easy to make a chart, indicating the deterioration of those who work on Sunday instead of looting, but what are the facts? Take clergymen for instance. Many of them work during the week at the most taxing brain labor, and on Sunday prepares for the occasion, when they retire Sunday night they are weary. But what worried them? Why Sunday work, of course. But they are not noted as a class as being the most short-lived mortals because they work on Sunday. Take doctors also. They are at the call of everybody seven days in the week; night or day they must go, and in all kinds of weather, yet they live about as long as other men. But not understanding, we are told that Sunday work is especially difficult. Furthermore, observe the day of rest as well as any chass, but they are not noted as living longer than men in other occupations.
Legislation regarding the observance of a day of rest is a matter that does not belong to the state. It is a question between the state and their conscious convictions should not be interfered with by the legislative thinkers.
Yours very truly.

Colored Folks Aid In Suppressing Crime
The Associated Negro Press
Chicago, Ill., Dec. 29.—A full fledged "Curefuse" is in operation in dear old Chicago. Negro bands are in part the cause for 175 latest drastic police order. Nearly every street in the city has recently been a genuine danger spot where desperate highways have wayfair and robbed citizens, without regard to race or color. This situation has been one singular instance in which color has been a barrier either in the drastic or minds of the principal actors in the sordid, criminal drama now being played in this city of conflicting emotions.
Negrico bandits have been startling and sinister figures in the holdout and burglary operations of the past few weeks. Some of the most during "jobs" have been done by Negricos. They have the ability to Negrico with white wilde, showing the same careless indifference to the color line that their white bedhaven-in-grade has displayed during the "orgy." The better element in the Negrico population has joined with the police department in its commendable efforts to suppress the criminals and put a stop to their deviance. The Negrico has resulted in creating more cordial civic relationships between the races than has existed here in a great many years. It has also helped the police to round up a greater number of white criminals than the department has been able to get heretofore because the Negrico citizens have insisted on the closing of no-goofer resorts that the department has without regard to their color or race.
in reality the cause for the big "crime wave" that has been sweeping the city with almost relentless fury during the past few weeks can be laid to the large number of unemployed men who are moved to desperate means, in most instances, to take an existence. Not a few
of the apprehended Negroes are first offenders, at least they have no criminal record in the local police files.
Federation Of Women's Clubs Bars Negroe
The Associated Negro Press Alexandria, La., Dec. 23—One of the interesting incidents of the convention of the State Club of Louisiana, held here will not form part of the records of that organization. This incident was the fight over the question of allowing a committee of Negro women, contemplating organizing a women's club, to attend one of the sessions of Federated Women's Clubs to discuss the women conduct a convention." The request to allow a committee of women to occupy seats in the rear of the hall as spectators, came from a number of our women of Alexandria. The question was put up to the council of the Federated Women's Clubs, composed of elec-
The council was about evenly divided on the question, and when the "yea" and "may" vote was taken it was believed the question had carried favorably to the Negroes. Those opposing the entrance into the convention hall, forced an imposition, and hurried consultations ensued. Meanwhile some one notified the committee of women they could enter the hall. After they entered it they were told that a mistake had been made, and that while the council had passed on the question, the general body had not ratified it. The women left the hall and went before the general body, the question was defended by a rate of 2 to 1.
The motion to expunge the record of the proceedings on the question from the books of the organization was carried unanimously. According to prominent members of the Federated Women's Clubs who opposed the expunge of women into the constitution built an effort to the Federation of Eastern Clubs, numbering about 4000 Negro women members, is in Alexandria, organizing women into clubs.

$f the school, It Is reported’ that
ft one of the meetings, tnd teach:
ere made it so hot for the principal
that he put his hat on, went out
and returned after some of the
teachers had "eooled off." :
Baltimore has been generally re-
garded as’ being nigeard in paying
fis high school teachers, as is evi
denced by the fact that many of
the. best teachers in the Colored
High School have resigned to ne-
cept better paying positions ¢lee-
qhere within the past ten years.
Saveral teachers there are now said
to be planning lo accept Detter
positions elsewhere,
‘The allegation ix also made that
discipline is las ait the school and
that pupils openly show disrespect
for the principal and his assistants
Some Koes ag far as to saver that
nothing new has heen introduced
Jato the school within the past de-
endo, and that ambitious pupils te
