C., Jan. 13. (Special). Interviews with a number of Senators and Congressmen here as to what they think of ex-President Taft's advice to President-elect Harding, not to appoint Southern colored men to office, indicates that few of them agree with him. Mr. Taft, said this week in an article widely printed, that Harding should appoint white Republicans of the South to office only, and should give Southern colored Republicans jobs in Washington or not at all. The Republican party in the South, he added, should be lily white. Senator Penrose, Representative of Pennsylvania, when interviewed, declared, "I do not see where the remedy of the article by Mr. Taft will close the gulf which is the cause of the misunderstanding of the races." Senator Calder, of New York, "Any policy that would discriminate against the colored citizens of the South, would be wrong." Senator LaFolette, of Wisconsin, "That may be Mr. Taft's remedy, but it is not mine." Senator Wardsworth of New York. "The colored citizens, regardless of party, must have a square deal." Senator Curtis of Kansas. "I believe in human rights. From what I mean discern, the article does not meet the issue squarely." Senator Relinghuyson of New Jersey. "I do not think that the policy advocated in the article are the personal views of Mr. Taft." Rep. Edmonds, of Pennsylvania, "I do not see how the policy advocated in the article will help the party. We may dent the solid South, but we will never break it." Rep. McLeod of Michigan. "If the policy hereby was applied, I think it would have a tendency to strangle ambition and to create a greater discontent than now exists. I believe we must give the colored people regardless of geographic location, every opportunity to progress, and we cannot do that by discouraging them, because some people in the South object on the account of color." Rep. Hamilton Fish of New York. "To my way of thinking, the article is all wrong. It is most unfair. I was an officer of the Fifteenth Regiment which covered itself with honor and I know that the majority of those men were from the South." "Quite a number of them went back to the state of their birth to live, and through constant contact with these men under every conceivable hardship. I feel that they are capable of holding any position that would be tendered to them. "You can quote me, I am with the colored people, every inch of the route."

BROOKLYN READY FOR KU KLUX Their Constitution Called A Covenant With Hell Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 13.—"The name Ku Klux spells rapine, license, murder, intimidation to the Negro. "Their constitution is a 'league with Satan and a covenant with hell.' and their kind are doing their host to wipe out the Negro race by murder and rope. "There is a day of reckoning coming to the Ku Klux. The groans of the Negroes done to death without judge or jury still in our ears and make our nights hideous; the stench from burning human flesh still offends the nostrils of Almighty God. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind the entire grist." "The day the Ku Klux Klan becomes active in New York that day will begin our reckoning with the 'invisible empire.' We have not forgotten; we will not forget. The sins the Ku Klux have committed 'two by two' in the Southland shall be paid for 'one of one' in the North. We are ready for the Ku Klux Klan.

Anderson, Head Of West Kentucky Industrial College Is $10,000 INVESTIGATION MADE $1875 Back Pay Due Teachers, While President Rides Around In Ford Car Frankford, Ky., Jan. 13.—Recklessness, extravagance, carelessness, bad trades, and over-buying will cause D. H. Anderson, president of the West Kentucky Industrial College, Paducah, to lose his job. The school which has 171 students receives an annual appropriation of $10,000 from the state legislature. Its debts now are $9,333.37 according to a report on the college, made to Governor Morrow last week by the State Inspector and Examiner. While the teachers in the school are owed back salaries amounting to $1875, the president, according to the examiner, extravagantly furnished his own residence, rides around in an automobile, and equipped his office with a dictaphone, mimeograph, two type-writers and an adding machine. "I could not see," said the inspector, "what earthly use there was for an adding machine, except to add unpaid bills." Although the state legislature has not made any appropriation this year, the money is already spent and it is likely that the Governor will request Anderson's resignation.

PLEASA HOPE SURVEY WILL SUGGEST SCHOOL REMEDY HOPE SURVEY WILL SUGGEST SCHOOL REMEDY Parents Interested In Color- ed High School Look To Dr. Strayer For Much Needed Relief BUILDING CONDEMNED More Light Shed On Stormy Faculty Meetings Which Were Denied In spite of Principal Mason A. Hawkins' denial of the stormy faculty meetings in which his teachers took issue with him on the list of questions to be submitted to Superintendent West, news has leaked out of the rift between some members of the faculty and the principal over conditions at the High School. As an indication of the state of affairs, it has been disclosed that one of the questions the teachers wanted to ask Superintendent West was: "Is the present efficiency of the high school the fault of the faculty or the principal?" Objections of Mr. Hawkins and his supporters prevented this question from being put, when the teachers met Superintendent West afterwards. Another question asked Superintendent West when he met the High School faculty was: "How did he explain the shortage of supplies at the Colored High School, and was it true that the School Board was trying to run it on as cheap a scale as possible?" It has been known for some time that there was insufficient theme paper on hand in the building to meet the needs of the students and one of the first year classes was compelled to go without a text book in Algebra until late in December of the past year. For three months these students worked without a text book and made the best of the problems dictated by the teacher or placed on the black board. Parents interested in the High School are looking to the survey of Dr. Straper and his associates to tell them where the trouble with the High School lies. The question was discussed in a group of ministers at the Baptist Ministers' Conference on Monday, where it was stated that the articles in the APRO-AMERICAN on the school situation did not begin to give the full state of affairs. The High School building together with a number of elementary was put in the list of buildings not worth repair. The other buildings which are in bad condition and should be scrapped according to the Survey Commission, are: School 102, 103, 105, 106 and branch, 107, 108, 109, 109 branch, 110, 113, 115, 116, 118 and 118 branch and surburban school buildings at Arlington, Brooklyn, Canton, Fairfield, Lauraville, Mount Washington, Mount Wilens, Roland Park and Govans. Practically every colored school in the city is listed by the Surveyors as of such poor condition that repairs are not warranted.

A GOOD BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 恆宗書 If the new year is well begun, it will end well. Health is the most important security against failure, therefore you cannot begin the year better than by calling at your druggist or dealer in medicines and buying Trimer's Bitter Wine. Its results have been just convincingly described in a letter which Mr. Michael Feroxan wrote on un Dec. 12 1920, from Zeilienople, Pa.: "Our home has been a permanent hospital, until two years ago we tried Trimer's Bitter Wine and Trimer's Angela Bitter Tonic.

Its producers, however, rate among the lowest in the social and economic scale of American life. In this period of economic reaction it is well to give serious consideration not only to the crop production of cotton, wheat, corn, potatoes, apples and other farm staples, but it will be wisdom to give thought to the spirit of the markets awaiting their delivery. In the instance of cotton the European market has taken a decided slump. A recent authority asserts that of the 9,000,000 bales of cotton before the war, 3,000,000 bales went to Germany. It is true that there was an after-the-war bomb that sent a load of cotton sky- ever. The loss of the German market and the subsequent declines of other European demands have brought about a very serious situation among the cotton farmers in the South. The weight of the burden falls upon the small owners and the simple tillers of the soil. These small owners are in many instances Negroes. The tillers are nearly all Negroes. Let us come to the cracking." The system of grazing and warehousing cotton is primitive compared with that of grain. The system of picking is by hand for lack of a cotton harvester." Production is on smaller units, and by more ignorant producers." All of which brings me back to the old fashioned content that we have been paying too much attention to the questions of rights and too little notice to the matters of duty. Our movements all tend in the direction of desiccation. Apparents that cotton is still being "picked by hand and production is on smaller units and by more ignorant producers." Philanthropy rather than economy.

We have a formidable and well fed army of welfare workers strutting hither and thither throughout the country, but cotton is being picked by hand and produced, in the main, by ignorant workers. It matters not that an influential element in American life is "hell bent" in holding us at the foot of the social ladder. We owe it to ourselves that we shall ever step forward and upward. Let the social vision of the United States of America remain short, if that is its will, we must go on for our own sake and the good of humanity. We must begin to send our most capable boys and girls into the best schools of the world, thereby equipping them for the impending struggle for supremacy. I say "supremacy" because the "white world" will listen to nothing else. And we must PAY OUR OWN BILL: "A cotton harvester" can be devised by a Negro, and cotton must be produced by intelligent producers. Work and pay our own bill. All else spells disaster. The A. N. P.

Ready THE NEW LINCOLN The Wooden Bonton Musical Comedy Company is at the New Lincoln this week. This is the first appearance of this company in Baltimore, but if applause can be taken as a criterion, it will not be the last; for at its opening on Monday, every song and every bit of business was greeted with generous applause. The girls in addition to being above the average in looks, have good voices as well, and understand how to put a song over. The comedians are funny without "working" themselves to death trying to be, and then not succeeding, as is so often the case with some performers. They are carrying their own jazz band, with a comely young lady presiding at the piano, and boys, she can make those "ivories" set right up and do tricks. A pleasing departure however, is that they have side-tracked some of the nerve-racking jazz music which have been dished up to colored play-goers so long that some of our musical stomachs are almost unable to keep it down any longer; and are mixing in some music of a more legitimate nature. --- / THE NEW RAINBOW The bill at the New Rainbow this week is one of the best this house has had for several weeks. It is composed of White and Bradford; Hightower and Jones; Charles Anderson and May Kent; the last two doing singles. White and Bradford—a man and woman—talk and sing, and they do both very entertainingly, the woman being one of the best "funsmiths" of her sex that we have seen for sometime. Captain May Kent is reported to be the only colored woman who was commissioned with a captaincy during the late war, she was connected with the motor transport service and served both on this side and in France; she is now in vaudeville, singing, and telling stories, both of which she does charmingly. Hightower and Jones, billed as "dancing fools" are every bit of that, their feet are truly "educated." Charles Anderson, is a silver tenor and yodler who is the equal of any we have ever heard, barring none, and should be appearing in the best variety houses in the country, the audience refused to cease its demands for encores until the curtain had fallen and the lights flashed on. The management of this house desires to call particularly to the attention of its patrons, that on the 19th and 20th of this month, Pearl White in "The White Moll" will be shown, this is the "peerless Pearl's" latest picture and is being shown exclusively in houses catering to colored patronage, and they don't want their patrons to miss it. THE CAREY The Carey management wishes to announce to their patrons that on the 13th a great serial entitled, "The Son of Tarzan" will begin. On the 19th another, "The Velvet Finger" will also begin, and on the 25th "Hell's Oasis" a six reel feature picture starring Neal Hart will be shown; this is a great picture which you cannot afford to miss. THE STAR The bill at the Star this week comprises. Tucker and Gresham, old Baltimore favorites; Bell and Bell; and Hawze and Howze. Tucker and Gresham are too well known to the theatre-going public of Baltimore to need any comment on their ability as entertainers, they always "go big," because they know how to put their act across Howze and Howze likewise know how to mix brains with their foolishness and are thus one of the most entertaining teams seen later on the local boards. The female member of the team really knows how to put the "blue" in a blues song; while her partner in the "wings" chimes in with some "down home" camp meeting mouns that are a scream. Bell and Bell are full of "pep" which they manifest by singing and dancing in the accustomed manner of performers who indulge this style of getting their stuff across. MARYLAND At the Maryland this week, two young colored performers are appearing in connection with an acrobatic skit, and are being greeted with rounds of applause at every performance. Crowds are flocking to the Dunbar Theatre which featured Stevenson's "Treasure Island" in five acts last Tuesday. Next Tuesday is another feature picture. CHARLES GILPIN In the "drama and music" section of the New York Times, of last Sunday was published in the space which is always reserved for the actor or actress who at the moment is attracting more than the usual attention from those interested in things theatrical, a pen portrait of Charles S. Gilpin the colored actor who has recently created a veritable sensation in theatrical circles in New York by his superb acting THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC BERT WILLIAMS WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK Bert Williams, one of the greatest comedians on American stage is coming to Baltimore with George LeMaire's "Broadway Brevities" and will be at the Auditorium through the week beginning Monday Jan. 17.

This new Hayakawa picture is chuck full of Love Thrills and Adventure. It will make you Laugh and then thrill you so that you can't realize it. Is only a picture. The story is of amischievous Arabian Boy, who in his search of Adventure, gets more than he bargained for. In the title role of Eugene O'Neil's no less sensational play: "The Emperor Jones." Mr. Gilpin, it will be remembered, made his first impression on the critics along Broadway, last season when he played a Negro character in Drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln." And so finished was his art in this role that it is said that thousands of those who saw this play had no other idea than that the role was being enacted by a white man made up for the part. In his latest role the critics have without a notable—or even a single—exception so far as we are aware, proclaimed his acting a masterpiece of histrionism, several boldly declaring it the greatest currently on view in the metropolis. Not only does he possess the gift of sensing the psychological investiture with which the author has sought to clothe the chief character of his drama, but in addition to this he possesses a magnificent voice, which he also knows how to use to the purpose. The story of "The Emperor Jones" briefly outlined, has to do with a former pullman porter who has become the ruler of a tribe of semi-savages. Having grown tired of his rule they begin plotting his assassination. Learning of their intention the "emperor" becomes terror-striken and decides to abdicate post-haste but once in the forest, he becomes bewildered, and as he wanders about frantically trying to find his way to safety, the constant beating of tom-toms by his erstwhile subjects in preparation for his murder reaches his ears and finally casts such a spell over him that he circles around until he comes at last back to the point from which he started and thus into the hands of his executioners. Mr. O'Neill's first play to seriously engage the attention of the Broadway critics was, "Beyond The Horizon, which was produced last season; and he was unanimously hailed as the coming American playwright. theatrical critic in America—having recently declared that he is "the most important dramatist that the American theater has produced." Therefore, it should be a source of soul-stirring pride to colored America, and written by the nation's greatest playwright, has its star, a man of their race. Incidentally, we might add, that Mr. O'Neil is the son of the late James O'Neil who for nearly a generation starred in, "The Count Of Monte Christo" which was from the pen of Alexander Dumas, a colored man. Youthful Violinists Star Hampton, Va., Jan. 13. —Eugene Martin, violinist, age 16, and David I. Martin, cellist, age 15, both of New York, accompanied by Miss Hazel Harrison and R.

STEVENS, Treasurer S. P. CHAMBERLAIN, Secretary The Douglass Theatre Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at Broad 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 Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore. The management at once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that a first-class 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 family found what, in our opinion, is the best location for 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 attractions which have been playing in the Dunbar 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—sun is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre. THIS 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 the 7½ 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 obtainable. 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. IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatre where yourself or family can go freely and see the finest Broadway productions presented by capable artists, investment in the Douglass Stock will make this possible. 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. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT ! ! ! Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do. Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets. For further detail consult I. E. JACKSON, local Manager 'Round About the City of Baltimore Paid Evangelists Are Under Fire Speakers At Methodist And Baptist Meetings Declare Ministers Should Do Their Own Revival Work Paul evangelists and revivalists, got a black eye at the meetings of the A.M. M. meeting at Bethel Church and the Baptist Ministers Conference at from Baptist Church Monday. Bishop Albert Johnson, speaking before the Methodists declared, did not appreciate proxies doing his work. "Twenty-five years ago" he said, "every ministry conducted his own reevaluation. Now a new we, we are in the busier of turning this work over to body and paying them to do it." Practices of today raise more money and are more elegant, but do not preach as efficiently as the older styles of twenty-five years ago." The same was followed by Rev. E. Love of Montclair, New Jersey, president of a Colored Baptist State Convention here before the Baptists. According to Rev. Love, the average Emancipation does not believe in the Gospel himself and therefore is unmitted to do the work that is done by the church pastors.

Sampion Brooks of the A. M. E. Church recently assigned to a district in Oklahoma in addition to his work in Africa. The Christian Reverberator of Phil- adelphia thinks this a wise move, almost most African bishops are absent no other territory. It is. The fact that he was given a bachelor's degree in this country in taking over the conferences in Oklahoma, may or may not hinder his services in Africa. Our own belief is that it will not mar his services there. If Brooks were a man trying to "take things easy" and to "be a bad thing for him to have his detritus so widely separated, his abilities with which to work it would not be a necessity or desirable that he should have an American base. But the clash has not yet grown to the place where it can do real missionary work on a large scale. And Bishop Brooks is a hard worker and constant traveler. It would be impossible for him to remain all of the time in West Africa, and so his return to America he will have to work to here and in the same time he will have to present our people with the needs of Africa. If his American work brings him only that the might educate people in the work to which he called, he will do a great The newly elected Board of Directors: Monumental Lodge No. 5, met Sunday Jan. 9, 1921 and elected its officers for the year as follows: Raymond Goutes, president; Walker Wiley, vice president; Dr. Cecil Gloster, secretary; Jeanne S.

Sometimes they almost meet and then diverge. Again they cross and then the road of mud ends in darkness. The path of rocks becomes one of primrose and the road of flowers fills with thorns. It is a beautiful story staged as only TOM TERRIS can direct reproduction, in a manner that brings out all the subtle splendor and beauties. It is a picture of contrasts—high lights and deep shadows. The wild debauch in the Tower studio, with wine, woman and song, stands out against the simplicity of the life on Trumpet Island, where Richard goes to redeem himself. Vallinsky's novel is the opposite of Eve's gorgeous home. Then there are the big spectacular thrills, such as the electrical storm, which wrecks the airplane in which Eve and Caron commence their honeymoon, and the sensational fall of the players—one into the ocean, a thousand feet below, and Eve into the trees on Trumpet Island. From this point the story soars to new heights and touches spots never before shown in motion pictures. "Trumpet Island" is different. It is new. It is an artistic production and one that will start you thinking. CENTRY COMEDIANS in "HOT DOG" 2 Acts TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1921 TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1921 DUNBAR Central Avenue near Monument Street.

Corbett Says Present White Champion Does Not Fear Colored Challenger BOUT NOT LIKELY Carpentier And Jess Williard Must Be Beaten Before Wills Has Chance By James J. Corbett New York, Jan. 8—If Jack Dempsey polishes off Jess Willard and George Carpenter, there will be another formidable fighter disputing his absolute fistic supremacy. And that man is none other than Harry Wills. Dempsey has never taken the attitude that he won't fight Wills—nor has he stated positively that he would give the dusky warrior a chance. But those who know Dempsey intimately are certain that if the time comes when insistent public voice asks him to fight Wills he will not back away from it. Confidence is Dempsey's keynote, he feels that he can whip any fighter in the world—white or black. Hel oves to fight and the tougher the opposition the better he likes it. If the fighting was left entirely in Dempsey hands, the chances are that he'd be out battling every week or so. There is a thought in some quarters that Wills should be denied the chance with Dempsey simply because he is a Negro. It is pointed out that Jack Johnson disgraced the fistic game while he was king of the sport, and there are some folks who think that Wills might do likewise. But this is a previous injustice to Wills and to the Negro race as a whole. Just because one Negro discredited himself and brought criticism upon his profession is no reason to believe that every Negro will do so. There have been many Negro fighters—some of them champions—and not one left any passivity records behind him. unstory records behind him. George Dixon, Joe Gans, Peter Jackson and Joe Wolcott are among the foremost Negro fighters in modern history. All survived many years of ring warfare and figured in hundreds of battles. Yet they ended their careers in a blaze of glory. They were white champions or topnotchers, as far removed from Johnson in habits as the north and south poles. Both Dixon and Gans lived quietly and cleanly—something that cannot be said of all the white champions. The Negro race must not be penalized with the accusation that its champion would reflect discredit upon pugilism merely because Johnson did so. His was an isolated ase, Success, fame, naturally weak morals and an abundance of money—all contributed to Johnson's downfall. Just because he slipped and became involved in numerous escapades is no reason to assume that other Negro fighters would do the same if they became champion. Personally, I believe that if Dempsey ever took on Wills the champion would win without much effort. Wills is one of those slow-moving fellows of the type seemingly made to order for Dempsey. Wills, in his fight with Fulton, demonstrated certain weaknesses, most conspicuous of which was slow punching and frequent missing. He missed Fulton a dozen times or more with off-balance punches—and still won the fight. But he will not win any light with Dempsey if he executes any such misses. Wills' conduct in or out of ring so far has been above criticism. He is a quiet, clean-living, home-loving Negro. He has had a responsible degree of success, considerable praise, but it hasn't turned his head. He is modest, quiet and unassuming. Wills' habits are good. Wills has made a good record as a fighter.: Perhaps he isn't in Dempsey's class. But if the time comes when Dempsey wants to fight, and he has knocked over the Wilfred and Carpentier opposition, Wills should not be denied a chance simply because he was born a Negro.

PHYSICIANS INSTITUTE GROUP PRACTICE Kansas City Medica Report Success In Adopting Modern Methods Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 13—Four physicians and a dentist here combined their offices into one building and report a successful trial of the methods of group practice. Dr. John E. Perry is director and handles major surgical cases; Dr. M. Anderson, minor surgery, Dr. T. C. Brown, general medical practice and Dr. M. Humbert, pathologist. Each physician handles only the work in his line, and the patient gets the bene- fit of the best medical brains in the city. A dentist's office completes the group of offices and cares for oral cases. Dr. T. C. Brown, who is native of Baltimore, declares it impossible for any one physician to handle efficiently all kinds of cases that come to him, and points out the group method as their est form of medical practice.

BIG SPECIAL FOR MARCH 4 Prominent Men West Charter Pulmans The Associated Negro Press Chicago, Jan. 6.—There is an effort being made to assemble an entire train of Pullmans in Chicago to be taken on from here as a special to the inauguration in Washington, March 4. The movement is under the direction of R. L. Mays and promises to be successful. Mr. Mays is president of the Railway Men's International Industrial and Benevolent Association. The plan as outlined is to make up special parties in Oklahoma, Arkansas, California, Minnesota also Denver, Omaha, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, and other points, and for all to meet in Chicago on a certain date, probably March 2, and the special train to go from here. It is planned to have a train of solid Pullmans, with baggage and dining cars. Short stops are contemplated at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Harpers Ferry en route. At Harpers Ferry, made famous by John Brown, there will be a visit to the historic spot and a short program. The train when made up will be given a name fitting for the occasion, "Imaguration Special," "Liberty Special," or something to demonstrate both the progressiveness and determination of colored Americans. This special train is set aside for the contemplated plans for taking the Eighth Regiment to the inauguration. Plans for the Eighth are under way but have not been fully consummated. It will cost several thousand dollars to transport the regiment, but many people feel that the effect for good would be such that every person should be willing to help with the expense. Col. Otis Duncan is in charge of the regiment. Muskrats Plentiful Sullisbury, Md., Jan. 13—Hunters and trappers are after the muskrats in full force.

Where difficulty would be obtained in getting local white player, Lawson stated he is considering Cuban and colored players. Lawson is a white man, and most of the clubs he plans would be white with the exception of one or two, which he would leave open for the best colored players in the country. Local ball players say they do not believe Lawson will put the league across.

The "Seasideers" were in great form and the visitors found things very interesting for them. For the Washingtonians Barbour and Turner were the stars. The visitors were one point in the lead with one minute to play, when Brady came up with a perfect shot and put the Hampton boys in lead. Before the storm of cheers could do away. Turner turned the trick by putting in one for the visitors on the last tick of the watch. The play was very sensational. The game ended with Carlisle one point in the lead.

Since he has worked for four year old Harry, who had convulsions and could scarcely stand or walk. The child now has no more spasms and is running about.

BROOKS MURDERER NOT APPREHENDED Arrylle Avenue Residents' Refuse To Discuss Cases of Saturday Night Fatality The neighborhood of Arrylle avenue and Greenwillow street was thrown into turmoil last Saturday night by the final shocking of Henry Brooks, 30 years of age and a native of Florida.

He Takes A Lively Interest In All Baltimore knows Edmund Bernard Taylor, caterer and member of the banking firm of Taylor and Jenkins. A native of this city, educated in his public schools, he was graduated from the Colored High School in 1897. During his high school days it was clerk and bookkeeper to the late George T.

His place at 886 Linden avenue presents a busy scene daily providing high-sounding means for artistic folks. He has served some of the largest banquets in this and other cities. He and Mr. C. Henry Jenkins are in the banking business at 323 W. Biddle street. A branch was recently established at 505 N. Caroline street. This venture has prospered beyond the most sanguine expectations. Mr. Taylor has been interested in a number of altruistic movements, including the Niagara Movement. He was one of those who contributed to the financial support of the Horizon, a publication which immediately preceded the Crisis. He is widely read and much-traveled and at home among all classes.

When the cost of living falls wages will drop. We know how it feels to be hated, Mr. Wilson. Even the friendship of the Negro is worth having. When Senator Harding steps in Mr. Wilson steps out—GLORIOUS!!! Common sense should always accompany a university diploma. A hard time winter usually follows a good time summer. Another blow at "white supremacy," the new White House cook will be a Negro woman. Mr. Taft has defended the Jews without giving them advice. Verily while there is life there is hope. The difference between the leader of a "movement" and the leader of a race, is the difference between the measure of an inch and the distance of a mile. Turn over more than one new leaf. 385 days is a long time to be good, but try. The only fellow who dies is the creature who never lived. We do not always want the things that are coming to us. Don't advise your brother to do right, help him to see the truth. Time is a collector who never comes back to collect his bills. We don't believe in Bolshevism, but we do believe in the right to live. The man who doesn't love a woman is a creature who doesn't love men. There is a big difference between the realities of life and the shame of living. We know where there is some very good saber for the Harding Cabinet. Our telephone number is— Thirteen colored men were elected to state legislatures in the last election. Nothing unlucky about it either. FROM WAITER TO LEGISLATOR Out in Missouri some thotless folks laughed last week over the spectacle of a former colored waiter sitting in the Missouri legislature. Folks like them snickered when a certain Jew and former carpenter gave the sermon on the mount, and when a former rail spitter and backwoodsman by the name of Abraham Lincoln took the field to debate against a "silkstocking" and cultured orator like Stephen A. Douglass. "There is no way to keep a good man down," according to the common every day expression, and that is the reason why Waltball Moore of St. Louis, who is a one-time hash slinger in the best known hotels of his city sits this very day in the lower house of the legislature in Jefferson City. He is the first colored man ever to have been elected, and he has been given the most conspicuous seat in the assembly, from which behind flowers that covered his desk, he looks out for new opportunities to serve his constituents at home. KIPLING'S SERGEANT Rudyard Kipling recounts the single handed capture of twenty-eight men by a sergeant of the English army, who marched his men back to camp without losing a single one by making each one remove his suspenders. The prisoners had to use their hands to hold up their trousers, and therefore could not escape. The Elkton, Maryland bandits, who held up a white man and then took off all his clothing in order to prevent him from seeking help evidently read about Kipling's service. POOR "BILI" Mayor "Bill" Browning is still at his old tactics of appointing white men only to fill vacancies in the city departments. Last week he appointed J. Albert Cassidy and Dr. John J. McGinnity, both white, on the Board of Supervisors of City Charities, which Board will control the expenditure during the year of a million dollars of city funds. Here is the way the money was spent in 1920: CITY OFFICES—for salaries and expenses $14,000. BAY VIEW ASYLUM—for salaries and expenses, $401,436 CARE OF THE INSANE—expenses, $214,000 CITY PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL—$135,000 DESTITUTE AND NEOLECTED CHILDREN—$50,000 DISPENSARY SERVICE*—$19,000 TEMPORARY CARE OF HOMELESS MEN*—$2,000 MARYLAND WORKSHOP FOR BLIND —$5,000 TRANSPORTATION OF POOR—$1,000 REFORMATORIES—$140,000 In all of these institutions for which appropriations are made from the city funds, colored citizens as well as white, will be cared for. This is as it should be, for every colored person who owns $100 worth of property pays 14 cents in taxes on it to create this part of the city budget. On the other hand, not only is the Board of Charities all white, but the hundreds of workers in the reformatories and city charity institutions are all white. In Bay View Asylum alone 203 employees, from the $300 cook to the $3,000 superintendent, are all white. - Mayor Preston, a Democrat, when head of city affairs, said on one occasion that he never opened any positions to colored people because they did not vote him into office. We wonder what reason the artful und "evasive" Republican Mayor Broening has for continuing the game policy. OUT SINGING THE BLUES "When you get discouraged, go outside and look at the stars." This the advice of a famous philosopher and anybody with the "blues" can give it a trial. The "blues" are commonly diagnosed as a feeling of exaggerated self importance. A disappointment, a failure, a relapse, an illness, an accident to the individual may appear the worst calamity in the world, and death seem preferable to the approaching disgrace. In this situation take the advice of "looking up at the stars." There they are millions and millions of miles above the earth, farther away than the sun, larger than many suns, silently twinkling and blinking as they have twinkled and blinked for the thousands and thousands of years already gone. Contemplating the immensity and the silence of the big universe, the burdens of the little world fall off one by one and lose themselves in the ocean of divine optimism. It is a good world. Yes sir. The next time the "Grand United Order of Brothers and Sisters of I will Arise" kick you out of the order because you did not pay your dues in full and on time, and your fellow members of the Shields Alley Congregational Church spread that perfectly true rumor about a little mixup you had with the police department, so that everybody knows it, and to cap the climax, the landlord sets your household effects in the middle of the street on account of your continued inability to put the rent money in his hands, when these and other ills befall you, take a look at the stars instead of singing the blues. WILL GOD PUNISH CRACKERS? The writer of an anonymous letter to a Savannah, Georgia, white judge following a lynching in that state says He will. Here is the warning poorly worded but clear in its meaning: "Recorder Swatz:—I am going to see what you are going to do with aristocratic white men of your class for shooting and lynching our race, if it had been our Colored men that burned and murdered a white man of your class, why you yourself has ordered out your whole force of blood-hounds and by her every Colored man and boy in Savannah, the right and the wrong and I suppose had him and you in your chair. As a judge, you are not worthy of your chair, because you are less than a gentleman to let a white man murder the Colored men what would you white people do. What could you do without a Negro, "You can get up nothing unless a Negro is in it. Your family can do without a Negro, but still a Negro is not more than a dog in your sight. But you must remember that God is above you and He knows, and when he do come to judge He will be judge over you and over all the rest. He is going to judge you mighty hard, because you had caused a man of our Colored men and boys to sweat and lose their freedom, and you take a crime from a white man and put it on a Colored man, and you all beat our Colored women over the head with a black-jack as quick as you would kill a snake. But remember, your day is coming. "From yours truly." Evidently the "Judge" doubted the authority of the anonymous writer to speak for God, for he turned the letter over to the postal authorities to see if they could find and punish the offender. FAREWELL TO BISHOP BROOKS As Bishop W. Sampson Brooks and party leave New York on board the steamer Celtic Saturday hound for Liberia, West Africa by way of London, he will carry with him the good wishes and the prayers of thousands of Baltimoreans whose lives he has touched. Bishop Brooks came to Baltimore three years ago as a pastor. This week he left the city a bishop in his church assigned to missionary work in Africa. The African field is one of the most difficult assignments in any church. It demands that a bishop, who is usually well along in life, spend most of his time away from civilization in a hot climate to which he must accustom himself. Bishops have been known to break dawn and cry when the church assigned them to missionary work in Africa. But Bishop Brooks took his African assignment with a smile and with a smile he went out and raised in six months fifteen thousand dollars to build an industrial school and hospital in his new diocese. Three years ago a Doctor Brooks, almost unknown came to Bethel Church then staggering under a mortgage debt of $63,000, which he started out to liquidate. People flocked to the church in unheard of numbers and rallies for unheard of sums wiped the mortgage off the records within two years. Members of his church declare that he is not a learned man, but that he has a wonderful personality. He is not a handsome man, they say, but his rugged honest smile and his human friendliness to everybody easily made him one of the most popular ministers in the city. Following his election to the bishopric, Bishop Brooks declared his intention of establishing an episcopal residence in Baltimore. Hundreds of friends who say farewell to him as he leaves, hope that he will be successful in his mission, and return in later years to live among them. AN ANCIENT MASONIC DOCUMENT The AFRO-AMERICAN editorial rooms were moved, the other day from the second floor to large and commodious quarters in the third story of the building, and in the process, workmen discovered the following document printed on linen parchment and nailed to a eight by twelve inch bulletin board. Part of the parchment was worn but the printing was in good condition: A. L. 5855 BALTIMORE, January 20, 1855. Know ye that having established a council of Masons by the name style and title of STAR OF BETHLEHEM and being associated as Princes of Jerusalem, and Sovereign Pontifit Masons, and in possession of the Royal Secret do proclaim on the wings of the morning that we are ready to grant letters of Dispensations of Warrants for any of the fifty-two Degrees of Ancient York Masonry in the State of Maryland, and not contrary wise, observing all the ancient landmarks from Enoch till the time being. Done in open council. And in testimony whereof we have affixed our sign, the signet of truth. LEMUEL G. GRIFFIN J. HARRISON JENSON JACKSON AARON SAILS JAMES MORRIS, Treasurer DANIEL HARRIS, Secretary OLIVER ADANS. Master of Ceremonies. The document dates back five years before the Civil War, and if it could express itself articulately would undoubtedly settle the difficulties between the York Rite Masons and the Free and Accepted Masons in a matter suitable to both. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TELLS THE KU KLUX WHERE TO GET From N. Y. Catholic News "Reports state that the Ku Klux Klan is organizing a branch in New York and branches in Chicago and other cities. The commander or 'supreme wizard,' as he is styled, of this organization says, it is reported, that there are thousands of newly initiated citizens of his invisible empire. "From what we know of this organization and similar societies through their operations in the extreme South, we feel justified in warning all American citizens against 'invisible empires' whose power is seemingly aimed at the peace and well-being of other citizens. Catholics and the Knights of Columbus have been and are objects of open hostility on the part of these organizations in the extreme South. We shall no longer lightly tolerate active bigotry that aims to disturb the peace of society by stirring up unfounded suspicions among persons of different religious views. "The Knights of Columbus profess no invisible power. The record of the K. of C. during the war and after the war and long before the war is plain. We have served the country quite invisibly and intend to continue that service. And we intend, so far as possible, to make fomenters of religious calumny and discord legally responsible for their acts." THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL "Rather Snippy" The Boston Post puts the spot light on cracker procedure in Washington The refusal of certain Southern members of the House census committee to be photographed with colored men at a hearing on congressional reapportionment the other day strikes us as being rather "snippy." The Negroes were men of good standing and ability who had come to the hearing to testify as to the perfectly well-known disfranchisement of their people "down South." They were decent citizens whose chief fault in the eyes of the gentlemen from below the "line" was that their skins were dark. One of the protestants left the room when he saw that the terrible sacrilege of picturing him in company with colored persons was about to be committed. Another refused to quit, but declared that he would "raise hell" if an attempt to take a photograph was made. The committee weakly solved the difficulty by going into executive session, thus clearing the room, when a group picture was made—all white. We have seen some group pictures in which Negroes and white men were taken together. They were at the battle-fronts of the "Great War." There was no protest there, nor did the white "boys" go into executive session to get rid of their darker comrades-in-arms. THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL Tribute to a Good Cook Her virtues were that she cooked well, played the piano and led her race (?) by foolishly spending a month's salary for a dinner to friends. From the Mount Sterling Advocate On December 17 Amy Scott of color departed this life and entered heaven after having been a sincere Christian for forty years and nine months to the day. She belonged to a high class colored family. Her skin was black, but her soul was white, and she had many qualities that could be adopted by her race to its advantage. There are not many Negroes the equal of Amy Scott in more ways than one. For sixteen years Amy Scott was the highly appreciated servant of Hon. B. J. Peters, who for four terms was Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals. Upon his death and that of his wife she hunted up another family of quality and lived. She was a leader of her race, had the first upright piano owned by her people in the county and could play it with quite a good deal of proficiency. She could recite pretty well. Amy had been with the Bean family for twenty-four years. Her dinners to her friends of colore were fit to set before a king, oftentimes costing her a month's wages. She was a woman or honesty and had the respect of both white and black, and took great pride in being better than the common herd. She was one of the best cooks in the bluegrass and took great pride in excelling others. --- WORKING, SAVING AND INVESTING By George W. Blount --- Individually and collectively, if we spend all that we earn it indicates that we are lacking in the habits of thrift and economy; to spend more than we earn is to invite financial disaster. The only financially sound course to pursue is to maintain a reasonably safe financial margin between "a prosperous today and an uncertain tomorrow." There is constant and widespread complaint of the extravagance of American Negroes, and inasmuch as there is some truth in the statement—there is precious little consolation in the thought that—"we are, in that respect, just like other people." It may be that other people can afford to be extravagant (2). Can we afford it? Many of us think it is shameful to be considered economical and thrifty. It is far better to WORK hard, SAVE regularly, and INVEST in good securities and be considered "stingy" than to be identified with the thriftless persons who are blind to their future needs. It is an interesting study to watch the lines of depositors going toward the windows of Banks, Christmas Savings Clubs, Building and Loan Associations, and Insurance Companies. By working, saving, and investing in good securities, these men, women, boys, and girls are establishing for themselves financial protection against the rainy day which will eventually come to each of us—if it has not already come to some of us (?). In every section of the country one can easily tell the working, saving, investing, far-thinking, and far-seeing Negroes by the number of well-built Churches, Banks, Christmas Savings Clubs, Building and Loan Associations, its life insurance policy- by them, and the amount of money invested in racial stock companies or co-operative enterprises. We must more and more encourage and cultivate the working, saving, and investing habits. We should think carefully before we spend all the money we earn. Every dollar saved and invested wisely and is earning interest or a dividend adds to our peace of mind, self-respect, pride of race, and contributes substantially to the economic strength and financial security of the American Negroes individually and collectively. RACIAL "RIGHT-MINDEDNESS" Rev. Goo, F. Bragg recalls a speech of the great preacher made at Lincoln University many years ago. "The youth of the present day are very many years in advance of their fathers. One marked and dangerous peculiarly, however, constantly betrays itself: the stream of tendency among cultivated colored Americans is too exclusively aesthetical. There is a universal inclination to that which is pleasing, polished and adorning. Where there is cultivation, it is mainly in poetry, music, fiction, private theatricals, the Opera. There is much elegance and real taste in house decoration; and dress is everywhere, and in a true sense of the term, a Fine Art. The mind of our people seems to be a hot-bed of rich, precocious, gorgeous, and withau genuine plants;—and, if I mistake not, I discover in it all, that permanent TROPICAL element which characterizes all the peoples whose ancestral homes were in the Southern latitudes; and who may be called "children of the sun." I find no fault with this tendency. I regard it one of the most natural outgrowth from the soil of our African nature. Believe me there is nothing more abiding, nothing more persistent than race, and race peculiarities. No people can be regarded as wise who look upon these tendencies as weeds; and who will strive rudely to pluck them up, and destroy them. Whatever is natural, is, in its due measure, healthy and elevating. These aesthetic tendency is a grand and opulent capital wherewith to commence the work of responsible life and duty. It serves, up to a certain point, to deliver a people from the control of the gross and vulgar. It gives very considerably, the fine aptitudes, for the super-sensuet. And without doubt this same tendency, has been a large element in all human progress and development. "These polished arts have civilized mankind, Softened the rude and calmed the boisterous mind." At the same time, I must say, that this love of the beautiful among our people shows all the signs of being but a mere possession. It looks like tendency; and but little else. I see, nowhere, any counterbalance of the hardier studies, and more tasking scholarship, which serve to give vigor, harbood and robustness to a race. I discover nowhere distinctive end or aim in it. "The river windeth at its own sweet will." It is, so far as I can see, mere, unrestrained spontaneity; and spontaneity, valuable as it is, requires the restraints and limitations; which can only be furnished by the imperial faculties of the moral and mental nature, the Conscience and Reason. . . . If you are to be leaders, teachers and guides among your people, you must have strength. No people can be fed, no people built up on flowers. Aesthetics, while indeed they give outward adornment, and inward delicate sensibility, tend but little, in the first place, to furnish that hardy muscle and strong five, which men need in the stern battles of life; nor, next, do they beget that tenacity, that endurance, that positive and unwavering persistence, which is the special need of a new people, running a race which they have never before entered upon; and undertaking civilizing achievements, from which their powers and faculties have been separated for long centuries. SPIRITICAL PROWESS OF JACK JOHNSON By William Pickens We are not discussing here the personal morality of Jack Johnson; but even that must be much above the level of the average white member of his profession, or he would never have the physical and moral courage which he undoubtedly has. The physical prowess may be what strikes you; that a man of his age and in the penitentiary should out box two strong men without leaving the ring. But that is not half so impressive as the SPIRITUAL PROWESS of his race; that a man who has been harried and hounded all over the world, and stood face to face with its most seductive temptations, and finally, landed in a national prison, because of an act of mistaken kindness on his part,—that such a man should show such SPIRIT, is the most remarkable thing in the history of his class. It is the spirit of his race. He always laughed in the face of disaster or on the edge of a crisis. He joked and "guyed" every white man he ever boxed with, while the white man was as grim and as serious as death. Can you imagine Dempsey or Willard or Carpentier in the same penitentiary under the power of another race, and yet in the same/spirit? You are certain that you CANNOT—and you are NOT certain that either of the men named could in a fair fight "lick" Jack Johnson today.

To the Editor: A law compelling men to keep Sunday or any other day as if they thought it sacred, would be enforcing a religious dogma and compelling people to acquiesce outwardly in the religious ideas of others. Religious laws make hypocrites. The conscientious man objects, and gets into trouble. It is certainly time for the ideas which controlled the religious persecutors of the sixteenth century to be banished, never to appear again. That we have not attained the ideal is proof of the limitations of our fallen nature. There is in government absolutely no power to lift mankind to a higher spiritual plane. The sooner this is recognized, the better. All religious legislation has had as its object but one thing;—the enforcement of certain dogmas held by some man or class of men. There has been coupled with this, the fear that, if left without the power of the civil law, these doctrines would not find favor in the minds of the masses. No religion which commands itself, and which reaches the souls of men, needs the power of civil legislation. Place two dogmas side by side;—one may win the other lose. The one which wins will ask for no help from the civil power. Is has in itself elements of success. That one element is truth. Souls hungry for the bread of life see in it that which is satisfying. No need of driving them to it. Its beauty draws them. The other, lacking these elements, resorts to enforce; unable to win by its virtue, and thus to reach the soul, it appeals to the civil power and rules the body, compelling an outward obedience to a pretended spiritual doctrine. Any religion which has not the inherent power to perpetuate itsself is not worthy to live. Your every truly, Pastor M. C. STRACHAN County Political Organization Protests Against Jim Crow Arrangements For Hardling Inauguration The Honorable Edw. B. Mclean and Inaugural Committee, Wash. D. C. Ope-e n.EL.ooOOSIREYTH CPTCOS Thev a colored member of the college committee and his assignment to superintend the affairs of colored clubs etc. we detect the survival of this principle which has mortified our souls and diminished our national spirit during the eight years. We have thought and now think that there is no actual need for a colored man on or as a member of your committee. It is for race respect in the first instance and not for place for which we petition, we know that there should be none upon it if he functioned simply to perpetuate this principle of discrimination. We will and all other colored people should decline to participate at the Imaguration of this principle of insult and humiliation. The absence of our and all other political, benevolent, civil and patriotic clubs of the different parts of the country from the parade and other features attending the inaugural festivities will in no appreciable degree modify them nor the pleasures of the narrow people whose enjoyment will be probably augmented by our absence. By our thus absenting ourselves we will have however served them and retained our self respect, we shall therefore petition all colored bodies to decline to participate in these festivities under any distinctive arrangement which shall be supervised by any person, white or colored, in that person's commission is authenticated by the color line. Are we citizens? If we are, desire to be arranged for, as are all other citizens. It is the opinion of this club that petitions your body to remove every vistage of color discrimination and degradation from the arrangements you are making for the Inaugural festivities. That he colored people, Americans all, will not participate in nor sanction their own dishonoring and humiliation and that they will and ought to vote out of the legislature of different states and of both houses of congress those of whatever party who seek to perpetuate and peretrate upon them the Wilsonian abuses.

"THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN" A Story of Africa and the War Predicted by Marcus Garvey FRIDAY, JAN. 14, 1920 66 U A Story This is the Fifth In White Man (Will Be, Continue to justify the statements I have al- ready made." so speaking, he put his hand in the bosom of his robe and withdrew the horseshoe magnet with its armature, which he handed to me with the request that I would test its attractive power, which I did. The magnet was a strong one and I could feel the pull on the armature when there was a distance of a quarter of an inch between them. Then he produced from an inside pocket a thin sheet made of some material I did not recognize, but which had somewhat the appearance of celluloid. It was made up, however, of two sheets cunningly joined side by side, the dividing line running down the middle and the two parts being about equal in size and dimensions. They were of the same color, but one was polished and smooth, while the other was dull and while not rough, looked unfinished. "These two sheets joined in the middle, as you see, are of the same thickness, but one of them is composed of our insulating medium, while the other, although of nearly the same composition, has not been subjected to the final treatment and has no insulating power. Now try them," and he held the sheet horizontally before me, the polished surface being the nearest. I applied the magnet to the upper surface of the sheet and held up the armature on the under side. It was immediately drawn out of my hand, as I had expected and clapped firmly against the under surface of the plate and held there. Under instructions, I held the magnet in position while my host slipped the sheet along between magnet and armature. As soon as the dividing line was reached, and the dull material passed beneath the magnet, the armature fell to the ground. My surprise, of course, was great. I picked it up, and taking the sheet in my own hand, tested it over and over again, but the result was invariable. When the sheet of dull-stuff was interposed the attractive force of the magnet was instantly annuled. There was no doubt about it, and it required very little imagination on my part to appreciate the mechanical possibilities that lay in this simple but astounding invention. "You are satisfied of the truth of my first assertion" he inquired, and I readily assent. "It was not so much of a strain on your credibility as my next demonstration will be, because, although your people have never made the discovery, it is not so altogether out of line with what they have found out before as to be absolutely incredible to you, especially when you see it with your own eyes. But now, I warn you, your belief in the possible 45 to be taxed to the utmost, and I hope you will endure the shock to your preconceived notions without losing your equilpoise." "You need not worry about men," I said, "nothing you can show me will disturb your equilpoise." "Very well, then," and he took up, for the first time since it had been brought over by the boy, the table-top as I called it. I then noticed, for the first time, that all around the edge were small round knobs, like the handles of small drawers, and such in fact they proved to be, for he withdrew one from another, around one half the board, thin sheets that looked very much like dull material with which we had been making our tests of the magnet. These sheets having been removed and laid beside him on the grass he put the board down that upon the ground, and picked the vicinity, which he handed to me, and picked up a few small stones in I was standing at the time about four or five feet from the board and as he gave me the pebbles he asked me, to throw them one by one on the board. As did so and was considerably surprised to notice that one or two of this first trial) that one or two of them, I say, appeared to swore a little so side and they all laided on that half of the board from which he removed the slides. He smiled at my expression and handed the pebbles to me again. In order to determine the accuracy of my previous observation, I threw the six pebbles, this time, with deliberate intention so that they should fall on the half nearest to me, which was the part from which the slides had not been removed. My suspicion was correct. Not one of them fell where I intended it to fall. They all swerved in the air and struck the farther side. Now considering that the board was only four or five feet away, and I threw with deliberation and care, this outcome of my effort puzzled me a good deal. Seeing this, my host turned the board around so that the empty half was toward me, and I had no trouble in handling all the stones on this half of the board. He then asked me to throw on the other half, as I did before the part farther away. I threw them as before and one after another, in spite of four threepacing tears in making this throw, every one handed on the heart part of the board. Non only that but one of them at least, when raised at the middle line, seemed as if bounded back, so sudden was its illusible change of direction. I then showing you these gradually the unmarked with his placid smile so that you may get accustomed them without too much of a wrinkle to your audience, ideas of what regular and proper in Nature. At this point he inserted again all the slides which were lying beside the board, thus making both sides similar again. "Now," he said, "the insulation is complete. Try your pebbles again." I took them up and tossed one toward the board. It went as any well conducted missile would go until in its descending curve it came to a point vertically above the edge of the board, and then toward for a horizontal one and dropped on the ground on the other side, at the feet of the Negro. One after another flew over the board in the same way, and my astonishment was so great that I drew immy breath with a loud "Whew," that seemed to please the Negro immensely, although his dignity, real or assumed, would not allow him more than a smile of un usually broad proportions. "Yu are doing well," he said; "let us go a little further. Hold a pebble over the middle of the board and drop it." I picked one of them up and holding it over the center of the board felt a curious sense of lightness in my arm and a seeming lack of control, for the arm rose a little in the air without my volition and it required a decided readjustment of its muscular action to bring it down again to a level. I saw the Negro smile as he notched the action, and then I dropped the stone. Instead of falling, it shot out horizontally toward the black man until it reached the edge of the board when it fell to the earth at his feet. To say that I was surprised hardly expresses my feelings, but I had seen jugglers do many wonderful things, and I was still disposed to charge these curious happenings to some sort of trickery. The only comment he made was to murmur. "The pebble, being cut off from terrestrial gravitation was attracted toward me as the nearest and largest material object, until it came again within the sphere of the earth's attraction." I said nothing, but pondered a little, and waited to see what might be the next performance on the programme. Meanwhile I seated myself under a tree, where I could watch the proceedings at my case. Presently he began to take the board of table-top apart. He removed all the slides, and then from the interior he brought out other contents, which I had not seen before, and for which there hardly seemed to be room inside. But there they were and he pulled out a lot of things, reminding me still more of a conjurer, whobrinks out a whole dry goods store and a menagerie from the hat he has borrowed from a spectator. First there were several lengths of wire, as it seemed tame, although they were so extremely flexible that they swung from his fingers like strings. But they had a metallic luster and I took them to be wire that had undergone some peculiar method of annealing. Then out came several short rods, and these were stiff and pointed at both ends apparently made of metal but brownish red in co color, reminding me of the curious bomb-proofs or whatever they were, that I had seen when approaching this singular community. He chose a spot underneath an overhanging branch, and after some rather careful changes and readjustments of their position and angies toward each other and the ground, he stuck the small rods into the earth, inclining toward each other and near enough to cross, like the Letter X, and so constructed a little fence, about three feet long and perhaps four inches high under a parallel with the branch which stretched almost horizontally overhead. He then lung several of the wires of strings from the tree, immediately over this fence at intervals of six inches or so, letting each one down so as to touch the fence below. I felt impelled to ask him what they were wires or strings, but he answered, rather shortly I thought, "Neither." I was not to be shaken off, however, before I had satisfied my curiosity, and so I said: "They look, and those little rods also looks, as if they might be made of the same material as the spherical pronunciences I saw just beyond the hills." "There is some similarity," he replied. "What were those things? Telephones?" "We use them sometimes for that purpose. We can communicate speech through them." "What for instance?" "I will show you one," he said, "when we visit the public buildings you 'see down there." "But I wish to find out all I can during the short time I remain here." I said, with some heat and impatience. "Pray God you may never have cause to know," he said, with and air of solenity, and put another word would he speak about them, but went silently on, with his work. When he had completed his arrangement and the various rearrangements of the rods and strings he came away and seated himself by my side, I be- gan to fel that he was very much in earnest, and so suspect that trickery or legerdemain perhaps not account for all that I had seen. I myself knew several tricks, very puzzling to the uninitiated, which depended upon invisible threads and small plugs of wax for their successful performance, but sharp as I might look I could detect nothing of the kind in these actions of my host, who appeared to be perfectly honest and serious in everything he showed me. We sat side by side without speaking for perhaps ten minutes, myself watching keenly, and now and then gazing over the landscape, at men and women busily occupied in their daily tasks, at the children running to and fro or chasing balls in their games, and he profoundly meditative, with his eyes fixed upon his little mechanical appliances. I was, I confess, a little appiqed b y the cart way in which he had disposed of my questions, but when I came to consider what he had already told me about the profound and deadly secret in the possession of his people, with their jealously of the white man and their determination that he should never know it. I realized that he was probably right, and that I had been trying to obtain information that he was in every bound not to disclose. I understood now that my inquiries must be circumscribed within certain bounds—that beyond these I could never go. Do not attempt, while you are with us, to mediate with anything with which you are not already perfectly familiar. You are in a new environment, of which you know nothing. Now I was sure that I had to deal with a crazy man, one of the cool-blooded kind who appear perfectly san excepting on one single point, a monamance, or as it is new fashionable to call them, paranoid. I began to fear that he might develop ... homicidal tendency, and I speculated when on my extraordinary situation, and on what chance I had of escaping from these black men with a whole skin. The Negro, who, after this momentary flush of excitement had passed, seemed to have recovered his equanimity, now spoke again, before I had time to formulate any plan of dealing with him. “This is the last demonstration I shall give you before we go down and meet some of the other members of the community.” “Very well,” I said. “I should like to see your whole whole bunch of tricks. They are good ones so far as you have gone.” “You are still suspicious,” he said, with that inscrutable smile of his, “but will be less so after this test of your incredulity.” He paused a moment, walked over and took a last squint at his toy-like arrangement, and AN ASTOUNDING EXPERIMENT I took it from my pocket and ex- Poro College Presently he rose and went over to the lap where he had stuck his rods and lung his strings, and began to remove all the strings excepting the ones; but first he laid one along the bough, connecting at each end with the strings hanging from the ends. Now he began the operation of removal very cautiously. It seemed to me that he humbled a great deal in unfastening them from the bough, either from awkwardness or some excessive and, as it seemed to me unnecessary caution, and I stepped forward to assist him. They were very insecurely attached to the bough, hardly more than barely hooked over it, and I put out a hand to switch one of them away. Instantly he swung his arm and struck me a staggering blow in the chest, which almost threw me off my feet. As it was I was knocked backward three or four feet, for he was a much larger and more powerful man than I and the rudeness of the assault astonished me, contrasting so strongly with the kind and considerate behavior of the man up to that time. At the moment I thought again I had to deal with an unnatural, but he immediately turned and grasped my arm to support me, while he caught his breath with a gasp. "Hardon me," he said at length when he had recovered himself, "I was foolish. I should have warned you. I am sorry for what has occurred, but it was the only way. If you had touched one of those strings, as you intended to do, you would have died on the instant," and while I gazed upon him with a look of incredulous horror, he added: "I have here tapped a reservoir of energy immeasurably greater than any you have ever known." THE AFRO-AMERICAN TE M the War By T. SHIR Do not attempt, while you are with us, to mediate with anything with which you are not already perfectly familiar.

Now I was sure that I had to deal with a crazy man, one of the cool-blooded kind who appear perfectly san excepting on one single point, a monamance, or as it is now fashionable to call them, paranoia. I began to fear that he might develop homicidal tendency, and I speculated wholly on my extraordinary situation, and on what chance I had of escaping from these black men with a whole skin. The Negro, who, after this momentary flush of excitement had passed, seemed to have recovered his equanimity, now spoke again, before I had time to formulate any plan of dealing with him. "This is the last demonstration I shall give you before we go down and meet some of the other members of the community." "Very well," I said. "I should like to see your whole whole bunch of tricks. They are good ones so far as you have gone." "You are still suspicious," he said, with that inscrutable smile of his, "but will be less so after this test of your incredulity." He paused a moment, waited over and took a last snint at his toy-like arrangement, and then, turning to me asked if my pistol were loaded. I took it from my pocket and ex- MAN'S War Prediction T. SHIRBY HODGE By T. SHIRBY HODGE announced it. It was an automatic, and loaded with smokeless powder cartridges. The magazine was full. I felt comparatively secure against any immediate attack, and if he spread upon me with evident intention to de my physical harm, I would have shot him on the spot, without regard to consequences. He went back a few steps and stationed himself a few feet behind his strings and stick perhaps ten feet away from me. "Now," he says, "I want you to fire at me with that pistol, if you think you can throw your bullets within the limits I have arranged between the tree and the earth. But do not fire outside of those bounds." What a request! I am not a dead shot with the revolver, but I could certainly put ten holes through him at that short distance within a minute. I declined to make the trial. "I won't do it," I exclaimed. "I have seen tricks on the stage, but the circumstances were entirely different. You could not stand a minute under such a rain of bullets, and this is no trick pistol, nor are the bullets fake one." "Shoot away. I will run the risk." "No, no. I absolutely refuse," and I throw the pistol upon the ground. He stood a moment irresolute, then quietly removed his out garment, a white flowing robe and suspended if from a branch in the rear of the one from which the strings were hanging. college oro Colleg "Yes." 1 replied, "it is loaded." "Well," he said, "I am sorry you have so little confidence in me, but you will at least condescend to exhibit your marksmanship on that robe, will you not." "I certainly will," said I. "if you do not object to having it peppered full of holes. It is not much of a test of marksmanship, though. It is a good deal like trying to hit a barn door with the muzzle of the gun in contact with it. I should rather stand fifty or sixty feet away." "That would not answer my purpose nor would it convince you yourself. If you found no marks upon the cloth at that distance you would think you had missed your aim. No matter how much chagrined you might be, that would be your conclusion." "And you want—" "I want you to shoot at that robe from a point so near that you will feel absolutely certain of hitting it." "Very well. And you think I can't hit it?" "How ridiculous. Why it covers the entire ground back of the hole in the air you tell me to shoot through, and I am only three or four feet away. I could not help hitting with my eyes shut." 1 raised the weapon and fired. Not amurk upon the white surface of the targe. I fired again. Still on mark. Nor had the white robe stirred as it hung, or showed any sign of having been touched. I was not only surprised but annoyed, and immediately suspected that my saue and dignified host had so far unburied to do me a mean trick by sustituting blank cartridges in the revolver. How he just night. Why had I not thought of it before? I had looked the weapon over before I began diving, but as everything looked alright I had no examined the cartridges closely, no deeming it necessary. But now I determined to make sure, and removing the magazine emptied the cartridges and picking them up one by one serumized them with great care. A side glance showed me the Negro sitting quietly in his place, with the inscrutable smile that so provoked me. The cartridges were all right. There could be no doubt of that. They had the stamp off, he manufacturer on the base, and as I tested the bullet with my pocket knife, I found it hard stoked. The cartridges were genuine. The is supposed to hit the mark whether you aim or not. So, puzzled as I was, I slipped the magazine back into places for another trial. This time I took more careful aim, and, as I have said before, I not a bad shot with the revolver under any circumstances. I tried again. No result. Not a mark on the target, not a leaf stirred or any tree of bush, not a blade of grass bent its head, and not a speck of dirt I began to indicate where the bullet struck began to be provoked. This beak any trek I had ever seen, but I objected to having it played upon me. I fired the remaining shots, looked around, saw the grin widening on the face of the black, and fairly carried away with a feeling of exasperated rage, hurried the pistol at the target. "I will hit it anyhow," I cried, and as I smoke I stood with mouth agape, fixed to the spot and almost horror-striken, for as the weapon reached the imaginary certain between me and the target, it vanished, leaving not a trace. Vulnerable into thin air: "The thing was impossible. And yet there it was. It had happened right before my eyes. How could it be?" I looked around at my friend. He smiled again and quietly remarked, as he rose from his sitting position: fi(dogfidlhwsaurcata (nd $a$d,$lihh$, wriven "It is gone. You will never see it again. You have lost it, and it can never be recovered." "But how it that?" I replied. "I suppose the trick is done. I must admit that you surpass the best I ever saw. But now that he exhibition is complete, I expect my revolver and ammunition to be returned to me." "That is impossible, my friend. There is no trick involved in this demonstration, as I have told you from the first. I have been showing you of the inventions and discoveries made by our race, which have given us our position at the head of mankind. I had hoped to convince you before this." "But where are these things that have disappeared?" I asked with some impatience. Meanwhile he carefully dismantling his apparatuses of strings and sticks, and stowing them away where they came from. "I do not know, nor does anyone. Our scientists tell us that objects disappearing under such circumstances are possibly resolved into the original element. They say that we have opened a door into another world, and that these vanishing material things go through that door into another phase of existence. It is only a crack and no foot or eye has ever been able to pass through it and return. Nobody can tell what is on the other side. Our learned men, among the physicists, have been working for a thousand years, ever since this phenomenon was discovered, to arrive at some explanation of it, but all in vain. You can from an biea, now, from what you have already seen, why we are so confident of our power, and why we fear no attack from anyone on the face of the earth, especially from any white man." By this time he had gathered up his apparatus and suggested that we should go down again into the settlement. "I fear," he remarked as we set out, "that our time is short. It is now almost noon. Do you wish to take lunch? For myself I eat but twice a day, but you can eat now if you choose." I had taken a very hearty breakfast and said that I would wait until later in the day before eating again. "Then we will go to some of our public buildings, for there are still some things I ought to show you before you return to your own people." CHAPTER X We directed our steps toward a low round structure, something like half a mile away, which he spoke of as the Camera, and I seized the opportunity as we walked leisurely along, to gain additional information about this strange country and still stalker people. I had already been forced to abandon all my preoccupied ideas about the Negro. While he was gathering his things together I had MARY MAY been busily revolving in my mind what I had seen and heard since my arrival, I could no longer conceal from myself the unwelcome truth that I was in the company of a superior being. My pride of race was broken down. I felt myself to be an inferior, and unpatatable as this conclusion was I had to swallow it. With my mind once at rest on this point, however, and a frank acceptance of our relative position, I began to feel more like a pupil, and privileged to question him without my previous sense of humiliation. I determined to find out at all I could in the limited time I apparently had at my command. "What is your form of government? I asked, "Republican, I suppose, as you came from the United States." "We have no government," he replied; "that was done away with boy ago." "No government! What do you do with your criminals? How do you keep order? How do you protect yourselves from aggression?"

COBALT HISTORY COBALT WORLD CIVIL WESTERN AMERICA TRAVEL Boys. How does it? Fine? All right then. Let's go! First of all let's look. We need more news in our column. With all of our boy readers, and "something" from many of them, we should have so much news from week to week that the chief editor of the "Aro" would have to "boll" it down sufficient to fill our column with out - encrouching upon other valuable space. Only once has this happened. "Twas last eck. The Boys' Editor sent quite a pack "stuff" and only "some" of it was published. And right here brings up another point - its this - when ever you send any thing to the Boy's Editor and it doesn't appear - don't become "offended" - don't get "hot" - don't - well - I mean don't say any "Sunday School" Words: Get me? It's not the Boy's Editor's fault. Don't blame the Chief Editor of the "Aro". The Chief Editor is rendering the colored boys of America a real service in giving so much valuable space freely to their needs, without cost. And when we once stop to think how many paying "Ads" could be placed in the same space now occupied by the "Boys" Activity column—we could not help but come to the conclusion that we have no right to get "hot" because more space is not allowed just in order that this club or that Sunday School class of the other Athletic Association did not "get in" the paper "this week" or "such-and-such" a week. So with the best of wishes for a bright and cherry and successful efforts on the part of each boy, we close from The Boys' Editor. P. S. O. yes! Gee wizz! Great guns of Zion! I came very near forgetting something. Now b real quiet, stick up your cars, and "listen!" This paper, the Afro, is published "In Baltimore."

We most cordially invite any boy, living anywhere, to send us a report or a letter about the work in your locality. What's the matter with the Wissahickon Boys Club of Philadelphia? why can't we hear from them—they do some excellent work! All of the united Boys Clubs of America knows of them.

WATERS BOYS GOSPE Our meeting last Friday night was a little different than usual: instead of the club having a regular meeting as we always do, the boys all went into the revival which was being held in another part of the church. We had the pleasure of seeing four of our boys converts to the cause of Christ—they were: Richard Jackson, Raymond Jackson, Eugene Grove, and Bernard Friis. We hope these boys will keep up on their path and not fall off. Our regular meeting was to be the election but our election will be held over until the next meeting.

Dr. Strayer And Other Investigators / Plan First Meeting Friday At St. Mary's Hall PUBLIC INVITED Committee Of Seven Proposes Other Talks To In the effort to acquaint parents of conditions in colored schools, the first of a series of talks by Dr. Strayer and his assistants of the Survey Commission will be held at St. Mary's Hall, Orchard street between McCullah and Madison, this Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Inauguration of this series of talks to parents by investigators, similar to the meetings being held at the Southern Hotel and elsewhere for whites, followed the letter of City Councilman Wm. L. Fitzgerald of the 17th Ward to Dr. West, Superintendent of Schools, asking that some way be found for parents to hear the results of the survey in their schools, before the final report is made. Mr. Fitzgerald's letter was referred to Dr. Strayer, who put the matter in the hands of the Public School Association, white, which selected the following committee to arrange for the talks: Mrs. Annie L. Hitchens, chairman, Mrs. Laura Wheatley, Mrs. Margaret Hawkins, C. H. Jenkins, Dr. Wm. H. Wright, City Councilmen W. L. McGuinn. Printed invitations were sent out and it is expected that a large number of persons will attend. Run-in With Cop Miss Melean Rach had a run in with Patrolman Gibson in the 300 block of Dover street last Saturday evening.

Words ensured, the policeman is alleged to have called her a "Nigger" following her in 326 Dover street, where he placed her under arrest. She was found $25.45 at the Western Police Station last Saturday morning. Needed Second Sight Not Spectacles A man who gave his age as a "little over one hundred" walked into a Franklin Street jewelry store last week and asked to be examined for glasses. The jeweler tried him on various glasses and finally after trying him on the strongest lens in the shop, asked him his age. "A little over one hundred years," the man said as the optician gnashed. "What you need is second sight," the optician finally ventured, "glasses won't do you any good." Morgan College Student Elected J. Stanley James and W. B.

Stewart Home From Abroad Says Colored Workers Must Hold Shoe Job Colored workers must save and work hard according to Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Fluenzeer A. M. E. Church, who is home after a tour of Europe and Asia where he saw white foreigners by the hundreds trying to get passage on ships bound for the United States. He says:— "There is beginning a stream of emigration from Europe to America, the like of which has not ben seen in many years. To this stream the Negro labor must give it attention. This present emigration-movement has put a strain upon traffic already for it is estimated by traffic agencies that over a million persons will go to America form Europe in the next twelve months.— "There is much suffering among these emigrants for many of them have reached ports where no steamship accommodations are to be had until spring. Their money has given out in many instances and there is no work and they are in destitute circumstances. The lodging houses turn them out when they can no longer pay the high prices demanded. Unscrupulous agents are also responsible for much of their want and troubles." UNDER $2000 BAIL Jams Hughes, 249 S.

Boy, I have been their papers about the new Ku Kluxes that they stand on online folklays, Catholics, Jews and foreigners. Them old Ku Kluxes played havoc with the culled folks down South high fifty years ago, and now come a gang that wants to spread its piece against the country, them old Ku Kluxes stuffed ballot boxes can culled folks away from the polls, killed many and tarred and feathered some. They were wild white men, bent on doing anything to keep us down." "Don't let that kind of bunk fool you, boy. They new fellows will be the law and the disorder and will not try to punish a white man who goes after a culled woman. The now Ku Kluxes want to stir up the country against culled folks, Jews, Catholics and foreigners, but take it from me this combination will give them James Henry before long, remember old Henry Crady went up to Bosting thirty years ago and asked the North to let the South alone. The North let the South alone, and then came James Crow cars and disfranchisement. Now, the Ku Kluxes want to add more piesin the North and West by organizing there." "You are distrustful," the reporter said. "Boy, I ain't been in this world and let the white man fool me. He knows that the culldun races all over the world are in the majority and are coming to the front, and that he has reached the top of the ladder and must cum down," said Old Timer as he handed a stack of books back to the librarian.
