HARVARD DROPS GAMES WITH CRACK'R SCHOOLS Inaugural Bibles When Cleveland was inaugurated he kissed a little Bible not larger than his hand. McKinley's was given to him by a group of colored Bishops and was a tremendous affair bound in Morocco. Roosevelt used his own Bible. No one seems to know where Wilson got his. Local Baptist Ministers have offered to present one to Harding but he has not accepted it. Naval Academy At Annapolis And University Of Virtue Wanted To Draw Color Line U. S. POLICY IN CUBA CAUSE OF UNRSET CRIMSON UNWILLING Prefers Colleges Where Its Colored Runners Are Not Barred IN C Natives Not To dent Wh Natives There Determine Not To Stand For President Who Believes In White Supremacy Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 18.—Harvard College lived up to its traditions this week by cancelling meet meets with the Annapolis Naval Academy and the University Virginia for next April. BLACKS ORGANIZING Revolt Worse Than That In Ireland Unless Southerners Take Hands Off The Southern schools are anxious to run against Harvard, but wanted the Crimson to "can" its colored runners during the contests. Major Moore, white, graduate manager of track sports, and W. J. Bingham, white, new director refused to do this, and are going ahead with plans to bring the squad of runners to a warmer climate during the April access anyhow. A track meet will probably be arranged with Penn State. Havana, Cuba, Jan. 12—(Special). With nearly a century of freedom behind them in which they have lived on terms of political social and economic equality with all races, natives of Cuba, most of whom are a mixture of Spanish, Indian and Negro will do their utmost to prevent the introduction of the "color line" on the island. The two colored men objected to by the cracker schools are Ed. Gourdin, biggest point winner for Harvard in the May Intercollegiates last May, who won points in the dashes, shot put and broad jump, and Edwin Jourdain, spinner and hurdler. Major Moore admitted that two of his best men had Negro blood in their veins, and added "it is not deemed advisable to bring the team South without them. Census figures for 1917 showed that 60 per cent were native "white," 20 per cent colored, and 10 percent foreign "white." These figures, however are unreliable, for natives of all races have so intermarried that it is impossible to say whether they are white or colored. Color does not enter into marriage or business and men are just men. In fact few of the Negroes are "black"; some of the blackest have the regular features of the Caucasian; and racial mixtures are everywhere evidenced by color of the skin and physiognomy. Twenty years ago when Wm. Matthews, a colored lad and Harvard's greatest shortstop appeared with the Crismon team on the Navy's field at Annapolis, southern crackers objected, and the Harvard captain and manager declared that Matthews must play or Harvard's team would leave the field. He played. Black men have held positions of highest trust in the island from vice president down. One colored man, M. Ramirez, with a daughter in Howard University, Washington, was elected recently to the Cuban House. Harrard's policy has always been just to colored athletes. W. H. Lewis of Boston is known as the best football centre the college has ever had. A. L. Jackson of New York was the champion hurdler in 1913 and Ted Cable of Indianapolis the king shot putter and broad jumper the same year. Last year Gourdin played football, and may make the team this fall. It is to preserve this tradition, and prevent the advent of color prejudice that is filtering in thru the efforts of Southerners from the United States since the Spanish War that the Spanish speaking natives on the island are organizing their force. Trouble centres in the seating of the new president, elected last November. American whites supported General Gomez, while the natives are behind Dr. Zayas, who had a colored campaign manager. Altho the election is two months old, the contest still continues, and no decision has been reached.

The workers are of all races, of all religious and of all political parties. So is the federation. As early as 1800 the convention urged all unions to strike out of their constitutions provisions limiting membership to persons of the white race. In 1807 the convention made a clear-out declaration when it welcomed to the ranks of the American Federation of Labor "all labor, without regard to creed, sex, race or nationality, and that its best efforts have been, and will continue to be, to encourage the organization of those most needing its protection, whether they be in the North, South, East or West." At nearly every convention since 1890 the federation has urged all the workers to unite, regardless of color, and in 1918 it adopted a plan for the organization of Negro workers proposed by delegates of the colored race. This plan has been aided by the best efforts of the general organizer of the federation's staff. Large sums of money have been spent in taking the message of labor to colored workers. There are colored organizers now in the field who are devoting their energies to explaining the trade union movement to tollers of the race. In the last few years large numbers of colored workers have been organized into unions and in their efforts to improve their standard of living they have received the hearty support and the active cooperation of the labor movement. This labor movement in its very nature is as broad as humanity because the problems of humanity are the problems of labor. In this day and generation organized labor is the only voice through which the oppressed of this nation of all races and of all countries or in races and of all races can make protest against the injustices which they bear, against depriving them of their natural rights, against the tyranny which they endure, against the needless hardships which are thrust upon them, against the power of greed, against industrial slavery. Organized labor in truth, is the power of resistance of all men and women of labor. It is the demand of all humanity for the best in life and the greatest in freedom. BIG TIME IN TOWN.

MANY WHITES INFERIOR TO HAYTAIN ENVOY MANY WHITES INFERIOR TO HAYTAIN ENVOY Island's Representative At The League Of Nations Won Europe's Respect For West Indies Other Nations Must Agree To Racial Equality Or Prepare For War New York, Jan. 19.—(Special). Althe Haltians have been able to secure little respect from Americans on account of their color, Robert Dell, a white Englishman, writing of the recent meeting of the League of Nations in Paris for the Nation, finds that one of the most intelligent capable, and well informed delegates there was M. Frederick Doret of Hayti. Mr. Bell says, "If Americans have many men in politics as enlightened as Mr. Doret, I congratulate you, we have not many in Europe. "He is colored of course, but I would rather be governed by him than by most of the statesmen now in power in Europe. A great many of the white delegates to the Assembly were his inferior in every way. "The question of equality of races will have to be faced by the League and by the European races. Japan will raise the question again next September, and the ultimate choice will be between conciliation and war."

AMERICAN CHICAGO RIOTER GETS SENTENCE OF DEATH Flag Burning Trouble Last June Wound Up In A Crowded Court Room JONAS FREED White Preacher Who Backed Movement Gets Off With Five Others Chicago, Jan. 20.—"They can't hang me, God won't let em," said Grover Cleveland Redding, foremost figure in the "Abyssinian Riot" here last June. Redding had been found guilty and sentenced to hang together with Oscar McGavitt, his chief lieutenant, for participation in the street brawl in the heart of the colored section, at which Robert L. Rose, a sailor and Joseph Hart, a cigar clerk, both white, had been killed, and Patrolman Joseph Owens, colored, severely wounded. The other five defendants were found not guilty. They are Harry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allen Willis. The riot occurred during a parade led by Redding and Jonah, an organized for the purpose of recruiting Negroes to the "Back to Abyssinia" movement, of which Redding was the head and self-acclaimed prophet of God. Exercises followed the parade and Redding burned an American flag at the corner of Indiana avenue and thirty-fifth street. Rose, who was in uniform, interfered and was shot. Mob hysteria followed in which Hart was also shaken. Throughout his trial Redding feigned insanity and it was necessary to tie him down on several occasions when he tried to fight with count attaches. Redding's insanity plea was shattered Wednesday when Dr. William O. Krohn, state alienist, testified Redding lnd admitted the deception to him as his only chance to escape the rope. Many people have expressed the opinion that Redding is really insane. His actions and speech are very erratic. Redding handed a colored reporter the card of one of the assistant state's attorneys and told him that the State's attorney was his lawyer. One of the defendants asked the same reporter, "to go and see my boss and have him come get me out." They seemed to have no comprehension of the extent of the charge against them. They are simple people of low intelligence and it is said that a white agitator known the country over as "Jomah" who was their leader and who was arrested at the time of the riot in which he was one of the chief paraders, but who was later released, fired them with the foolish zeal which led to the trouble. Jonah is said to be still organizing Abyssinian movements throughout the country. 105 YEARS OLD 3 7 Cents in Baltimore. I WANT TO BE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY-GENERAL!!

COLLECTOR AS RAPIST White Employee Of Sun Insurance Company Said To Have Assaulted 10 Year Old For an alleged assault on ten-year old Eather Bernice Short, Justice Chapman issued a warrant Thursday morning for the arrest of Harry Feldenheimer, white, a collector for the Sun Life Insurance Company. The man is said to have called at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Short, 611 Pitcher street, to collect the little girl's insurance and that of her grandmother, Mrs. Fannie Short. The mother gave the girl money with which to pay her insurance and told the collector to come back later for the elder Mrs. Short's insurance as she was out. The collector after receipting the books is alleged to have pulled the little girl on his lap and subjected her to indignities. He left and the girl told her mother. Returning several hours later to collect from the grandmother, Mrs. Short confronted the man with the girl's accusations and then dared him to repeat his actions with her. He was then ordered out of the house. Little Bernice told a straightforward story when she appeared with her father before Justice Chapman to swear out the warrant.

IT GAVE HIM STRENGTH Built Up My Husband, His Appetite, Nerves, Digestion And Whole System Is Fine Now WONDERFUL TONIC "My husband was in a weak, rundown, nervous condition and at night he could get very little real rest on account of a cough he had which was especially bad at night. His appetite was poor and he lacked energy and strength. Mornings he would cough up great chunks of mucus and phlegm and nothing he took or was told to take did him any good. "Thank goodness we heard of Earle's Hypo-Cod and the first bottle stopped that horrible cough. Then this tonic began working a wonderful change in his system. You could just see it building him up all over. His nerves became steady and he started skipping just fine. He eats anything and everything that I set on the table and relishes his meals. His strength and old vigor came back and he looks better today than he has looked in a long time," declared Mrs. A. L. Goodall, 427 10th St., S. W. Washington, D.C. There are thousands of men who need a tonic. Men are just naturally grow about taking medicine even though they are half-sick. Wives should remember this and when they see their husband, brother or father don't feel especially good they should set about building them up. Just good food isn't enough sometimes. A tonic helps the digestion get all the good of food, it stirs in the appetite and helps to quench the blood.

As time flies on I miss you more your cheerful voice, your smiling face No one on earth dear Goldie has taken your place By mother, MAMIE MACKAY, ELSIE, OTHO, AND JOHN PARKER—In sad and loving remembrance of our daughter Bernice E. Parker, who died Jan. 19, 1818. Dear daughter I am lonesome and sad today, To think how suddenly you had passed away, My heart is heavy and my grief is my pain Often I think of you dear daughter who death had to claim I cannot forget you dear daughter Though many seem the years And often in the lonely hours I wipe away the tears Friends may think I soon forget her And my wounded heart be healed But they little know the sorrow That's within my heart concealed Often I wondered to the graveyard And sat beside our dear daughter's grave Then I think I hear, her saying Weep not my dear parents, we shall meet again.

THE AUDITORIUM "Broadway Brevities" of which Bert Williams is the featured player, at the Auditorium this week, compares favorably with any revue shown here this season. The settings, white not as elaborate as some that have preceded it, leaves nothing to be desired in this particular. The chorus too will bear favorable comparison in pulchrids to others that have passed this way; although not nearly so numerous as some. Bu in two particulars it can in our judgment, lay just claims to the seasons laurels, and these are, that it has the best comedian; in the person of Bert Williams, and the best dancer in the person of Maurice Diamond white, of any; shown here so far this season. While the lack of a master hand in both the comedy situations, and the score, is at once apparent to the sophisticated play-goer, there is sufficient briskness of movement and diversity, to round out an evening of pleasant theatrical entertainment. However, the question naturally arises as to why Bert Williams who has been elevated to stardom in the entertainment, was not given more to do. His opportunities were, if anything, more restricted than was the case when he was a member of the "Pollies" of course it is possible that this may be accordance with his desire; but whatever the cause, the audience is the loser, for as was demonstrated in the shoe shop scene in the present offering, he is without a doubt the most skillful comedian on the American stage. His humorous equipment has that quality of infectiousness that lays hold of his audience more instantaneously than any of his rivals in this field, and we sincerely hope that behove he decides to retire, he will appear in a character which will give his admirers an opportunity to see his rich gift of humor at full play. "When the Moon Shines On The Moonshine" one of his former successes proved the most popular of his present crop of songs. THE NEW LINCOLN The Woodens Bonton Musical Comedy Company, is playing a second week's engagement at the New Lincoln and as was the case last week it is "turning them away" at every performance. This is but natural, for this company has the personnel necessary in a theatrical organization of its nature to effect such a result; namely comedians that are funny, and girls that in addition to being good to look upon, can both dance and swing. THE NEW RAINBOW The Smith and King Players, are occupying the boards at the New Rainbow this week, and are carefully living up to the standard which the managers of this house have set for their patrons. There is a fund of wholesome humor dispensed in equal proportions by both the male and female members. If this troupe that sends the audience some lazily reflective frame of mind. On Wednesday and Thursday of next week another great feature picture: 'Love's Madness' headed by Louise Glauce, will be shown at this house. THE CAREY When the owners of the Carey, opened this popular house, they declared that they were going to give their patrons the very best in the picture line that could be obtained, and they have subsequently lived up to this pronouncement, that is the reason that it matters not whether it is matinee or evening, you always find the Carey crowded. But the management is ever on the alert for even better entertainment for their patrons than that which they have previously secured, thus it is no surprise to their patrons to be informed that for two days, beginning Jan. 31st, "The Forbidden Tinge" one of the greatest feature pictures ever exhibited will be given. This is a Thos. H. Ince production, which is additional assurance of its worth. DENBAR What the Carey management is doing in solely the picture field for its patrons in the Northwestern section of colored Baltimore, the management of the Dunbar is doing for East Baltimore picture devotees. This house is packed from the time of opening to closing time, daily by those who enjoy the best in screen entertainment. In keeping with this policy, on Tuesday Jan. 25th, "Everywoman" a picture production of one of the most sensational plays of modern American stage presentation will be shown. This is a great picture, and no lover of the best in pictures can afford to miss it. THE STAR Cloe Mitchell's Jiz Repersoni Company is at the star, and is a rolt. This is a large company, comprising some of the best-looking girls and and "comedious" comedians, in the business. Every member of the company is talented and is an experienced performer. "Dusty" is one of the best, and hardest working funnakers that comes to this city, and his efforts are highly appreciated by the packed houses that greet him and his coworkers at every performance. THE PALACE "The Seven Musical Spillers" at the Palace this week in connection with Jean Bendini's "Peek-a-Boo, Company;" need no introduction to Baltimore play-goers; that they are in the front rank of jazz dispensers is too well known to need repetition in this place. Colored Vaudevillians Reaching The Top "Buck," an "Bubbles" the two polar- ities juvenile comedians who appeared at the Maryland theater last week, shibbed a finish in the work 'that grayed a genuine surprise in contrast to what their 'ragged plecaninny, appearance had led one to expect when they made their first entrance from the wings.' One naturally expected from them, nothing more difficult than the usual the Aeolian Piano Roll Company of New York "Go to it" you dusky boys: talent—like murder—finally, will out. "buck dance" so long associated with the "type" they represented; but instead the audience soon discovered that it was being entertained by two as capable performers of their years, as have ever appeared at this theater. "Buck" who presided at the piano, demonstrated his mastery of the "iveries" by playing any song the audience out to him, both as written, and in "rag" and the comicalities he employed in the doing of it fairly convulsed the house. NEARLY 100 There were nearly 100 conversions and forty accessiones in the two-week revival campaign which Rev. Joseph Gwynn concluded at Waters A. M. E. Church Tuesday night. Mrs. Mary Hicks is now continuing the services. Large congregations have attended nightly. "Bubbles" his companion, danced skillfully, sang some songs with finish-expression, and exhibited a natural gift for comedy which, unless we miss our guess, will one day place him in the front rank of the comedians of the native stage. And they did it all with a sangfroid that many a performer who has been in the stage for years, has never been able to acquire. At the Maryland the week of Jan. 24th.

She paid high tribute to Baltimore putting the punch in the right spot with their quips and singing.

COMING—NORMA TALMADGE in "The Branded Woman." 511 OF THE OPENING Sale of Stock IN THE THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ART 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 famously 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 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—such is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as the 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 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 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 personnel of the management of the Corporation. IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatres 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. IF YOU ARE interested most of all in putting your money in a safe, sound investment, which will pay big returns in dividends, and constantly increase in value, then here is the safest, surest investment offered to the colored people of any city. 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. 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 president. 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 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 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—such 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.

Dorsey Appeared Before Grand Jury To Complain Against Near Beer Saloons Vice conditions in South Baltimore have been engaging the serious attention of Rev. J. Henry Dorsey, pastor of St. Monica's Catholic Church, Hill street, near Hanover. Seated in the parish house, 109 W. Hill street, he told a reporter of the AFRO-AMERICAN that many near-beer saloons in that section were patronized by disorderly young men and women. He smoked the night hideous with their ribal language as they go to and from these places at night." He said. It is a serious question in one that should have the attention of all lovers of law and order. The temptations which these places offer our young folks must be lessened, and thereby we can hope to see criminality reduced. All the religious forces in this section should be up in arms about the matter. It is said that Father Dorsey and the pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church recently appeared before the Grand Jury and told of conditions in South taltimore. Just after the reporter left the house of the priest he was about to pass three neatly dressed colored girls standing at the corner of Charles and Hughes streets. "Mister, give me a dime," said one. "I am sorry, but I have no change," the reporter replied. "I am sorry, too," she said. Many of this type of girls and women are frequenters of those near hear saloons and dance halls and seek to lure men for robbery and immoral purposes.

And "Everywoman." with its wealth of characterization, centers about the figure of the one who plays the titular role. We follow her rise to fame and wealth, her temptations, the subtle influences for good or evil, the degradation and in the end the triumph of purely spiritual qualities which restores all that was lost of good and eradicates forever those dark powers of destructive character, which prove to be not powers at all but mere usurpus of power, potent only while given strength by submission to their domination. A great lesson for good is conveyed by this modern morality play; it is a sermon of life; a visualization of the forces for good and evil which seem to contend ever in our hearts and minds. It cannot fall of its effect. It leaves upon the mind of the spectator an impression that will remain throughout the year—and yet it is entertainment of the most wonderful character—a maze of beauty, a glorious spectacle of the procession of Life.

Marysville, O. Jan. 17th—This game was played in a fine hall, but was a slam-bang-affair from start to finish. It was featured by the most approved football tactics. During the first half there was so much of this, that we almost stopped playing. Butter and Brown featured this game, the former doing wonderful floor work while the latter, "Scrapy" was particularly active in caging the ball. Armstrong and Captain Lyles played a strong defensive game especially in the second half as the score will indicate. Line-up—Butter and Harris, forwards; Brown, center; Armstrong and Lyles, guards. Field goals: Brown 5, Harris 2, Butter 1, Armstrong 1; Fouts Harris 2, Brown 1. Springfield, O. January 8th—In a game replete with sensational plays the Blue and Gray Machine sent the Triangle down to defeat 40 to 29. The game was the best ever played on the local court and the clean playing of plause during the game and hearty congratulations at its close. The Y gym was a bit small but it did not prove much of a handstand. Butler was the outstanding star in this game. The hacks were to his liking and he caged six goals. He was all over the floor and was like a streak of lightning. The whole outfit is working much better now.

The Morgan track team met last Wednesday and elected captain and (manager for this season. Thompson was re-elected captain and Brown, manager. From the number of boys present at the meeting, the outlook is very bright for a good team this year. The manager is now communicating with various schools and clubs to get posted on the track and field events for this year. Webb, the long distance runner and pole vaulter, expects to make his last year in school notorious by showing his speed in running the mile. Although he has not competed in any meet since the St. Mary's games, he expects to be in form by the opening of the season. No one has heard of Dowlen but you will this year when his name will be put on the list of Morgan sprinters along with Martin of Atlantic City, Pritchard of New Jersey, Hull of Princess Anne, and Fletcher of Annapolis. Cornelius Thompson, the marvel sprinter of Baltimore; Foster Brown, the speed king of Philadelphia; expects to show Scrapy Brown and Joe Trainey the Long Trail Home this season on the track. Thompson, Hull and Brown are trying their utmost to enter the Johns Hopkins meet at the armory in February. Author Wilmer and Phillips of the Academy still believes that there are hopes yet to outstrip George Pendleton in 830 yd. But nevertheless we hope to put Morgan College on the map in track activities this ensuing season. HAMPTON 39 LINCOLN ,16 First Contest Goes To Seasiders. Second To Be Staged In Baltimore By Charles H. Williams Hampton. Va.. aJn. 20—Hampton won the second game of the intercollegiate, series by defeating Lincoln 30 to 16 before a large, enthusiastic crowd of basket-ball fans. It was evident after the first few moments of play that Hampton had the better team. The feature of the game was the passing and shooting of the Hampton five. Time after time the spectators were brought to their feet by Hampton's team-work, which completely hauled the Lincolnites. The college atmosphere was evident as the rooters of both teams cheered their favorites. Although outplayed in every department of the game, the Lincoln team fought gamely until the end.

Mr. Wilson. Foresight is vision, hindsight is experience. And now it is a black cook in the White House kitchen. We wonder how many new "movements" will be born this year. Speaking of the German indemnity there is also the devil to pay. The Irish, the Jew, the Negro, the Catholics—to spell the doom of the Ku Klux. He who fails as President has a good chance of becoming a first rate citizen. Many were glad to see him enter, more will be glad to see him go.

Church to rally the articles of organic union which called for affiliation with the African Methodist Church and the African Methodist Zion Church means that this union will not take place. Nearly a year ago the General Conferences of the three denominations agreed to unite providing the majority of their Annual Conferences approved the scheme. Now however since one of the denominations has fallen out, there hardly seems to be any necessity for going on with the plans. It would be worth while for the other denominations to express themselves, for it may be that the C. M. E. Church has cast only the minority ballot, and the majority are in favor of unification. It may be that the religious denominations will have to learn from big business enterprises the value of "getting together." A group of bankers took only a few hours the other day to form a combination representing over three million dollars. THRIET WEEK This is Thrift Week. Maybe some part of it has escaped your notice, but yesterday, January 20, was OWN YOUR HOME DAY, to emphasize the necessity of living in the house you yourself own. Today, January 21st, is MAKE A WILL DAY, to emphasize the need of every man planning for the welfare of his family by making a will to safeguard them in case he dies. January 22nd, PAY YOUR BILLS PROMPTLY DAY; laying emphasis on the value of credit and the moral obligation of paying bills on time. January 23rd, SHARE WITH OTHERS DAY, calling attention to the privilege each one has of sharing his benefits with others less fortunate. NAMING STREETS A Chicago Alderman introduced a measure into the City Council last week to change the name of Forest Avenue to that of Giles Avenue in memory of the first officer of the 8th Illinois Infantry who fell in France. There is not so much of Forest Avenue in Chicago, several squares of residences occupied for the most part by colored persons, and down near 25th street is the location of the 8th Illinois with the drill firing nearby. All the people living on the street would just as soon see the name Giles Avenue as Forest Avenue, and so they put it up to the City Council. There are a number of streets in Baltimore on which colored people live exclusively, and which nevertheless bear such meaningless titles as ARGYLE AVENUE, ETTING STREET, GOLD STREET, MYRTLE AVENUE, GEORGE STREET, and any number of others in the Eastern and Southern section of the city. On the other hand it would be a source of pride, and an enduring memorial if thru representations of citizens that the names of such streets were changed to Douglass Street, Banneker Street, Dunbar Avenue, Alexander Place, for the late Rev. Wm. Alexander, or for other men and women whose memory the city is glad to honor. THE UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS Of the twenty thousand workers employed in the factories of Detroit, Michigan, fifteen thousand of them were thrown out of jobs due to the readjustment of business from a war-time to a peace-time basis, according to a bulletin issued by the National Urban League of New York. The League which has executive offices in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Newark, Brooklyn, Boston, Memphis and other cities declares that the colored worker was among the first to be dropped and in the cities seriously affected, churches and welfare organizations co-operated in handling the situation. Some of the organizations furnished free meals and lodgings to the unemployed; a publicity campaign was inaugurated in which workers were urged to hold on to their jobs by increasing their efficiency, and young people out of work advised to go back to school. The lack of an institution like the Urban League in Baltimore equipped to handle the problems of the industrial workers in an efficient manner prevents this city from realizing the extent to which local workers are affected by the present crisis. Beggars on the streets, and the wave of crime however are eloquent testimonials of the fact that unemployment as an unsolved problem is still with us. According to the census figures for 1920, Baltimore absorbed between ten and fifteen thousand workers from the South and other places during the past ten years. Most of them undoubtedly came here during the war period. Since the re-adjustment period began there has been no method of telling how many of these workers returned to their homes, how many remained to accept reduced wages or how many are roaming the streets unemployed. The whole situation calls for exact knowledge and the presentation of a definite program to the mayor or the City Council, that will offer a remedy. TAFT'S ADVICE TO HARDING Whether to give the Federal positions soon to be available in the South to black Republicans or to white Democrats is one of the issues that will face Mr. Harding as soon as he is inaugurated, according to a widely published article by William Howard Taft last week. Mr. Taft, who is an ex-president himself, probably knows what he is talking about, and he advises Mr. Harding to meet the issue by giving such positions to white men only. Mr. Taft admits that ordinarily these available positions in Southern states ought to go to colored men, "who are competent to fill them as far as character, intelligence and experience go," and adds that these colored men "have always been Republicans and often the only Republicans within the District." The Ex-president goes further when he concedes the justice and virtue of Roosevelt's demand that the door of hope should not be closed to the Negro by making him practically ineligible to official preferment for which he is fitted. And the inexpediency of estranging the colored people of the North, whose vote in Mr. Taft's own words, is essential to Republican success is admitted. BUT— But, says Mr. Taft, Mr. Harding must be considerate of the Southern white man's feelings and viewpoint. The white man in the South does not like to do business with colored men in an official capacity, and these "good, liberal white Southerners, the best friends the Negro has, will lose their interest and, become alienated, if the colored man is given a Federal appointment." In order not to make the Republican party in the South lilywhite and at the same time not to offend the black Republicans of the North, who have the ballot, the ex-President's final word of advice to the next President is give a few Southern colored men jobs in Washington. Outside the position of Collector of the Port at Beauport, S. C., Register Land Office, Montgomery, Ala., and Collector of Internal Revenue at Jacksonville, Florida, the Federal offices held by colored men in the South even under Roosevelt, have not been worth talking about. More colored man and women are given city positions in Cleveland, Chicago, or Philadelphia, than have ever been ppointed to office by any United States President since Lincoln. Why then Mr. Taft,—fat and foolish at 63, put into office by Roosevelt and put out again by Roosevelt—should ask Mr. Harding to carry out policies that he has tried already and found wanting, is almost too much for any sensible person to fathom. It is no wonder that Senator Frelinhausen remarked in an article published in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN that Mr. Taft was not speaking his own mind. THE DRIVE ON WASHINGTON Preparatory to the inauguration of President-elect Harding and the new administration in Washington, February 4th, politicians of the Eastern section of the country plan a meeting for Jersey City, N. J. next Thursday. Objects stated are the discussion of the plans and policies to be suggested to Mr. Harding, and the new Congress, includ- ing the wishes of the colored people with reference to disfranchisement, segregation, Haitian and Liberian affairs, and federal patronage. No attempt will be made, it is said to embarrass Mr. Harding, nor will the resolutions adopted by the gathering be of the pussyfoot variety. If the conference sticks to the idea of discussing a federal program as its major object and makes the securing of patronage a minor matter, its deliberations will be of more than passing interest. The presence of the women workers in large numbers and their active participation in what goes on is one guarantee that the scheme is not A DRIVE ON WASHINGTON FOR JOBS. A HOT SESSION The Southern members of Committee of the Census of the House of Representatives have a "chuck fit." when representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People expose the disfranchisement and misrule of the cracker in the South. (From Stenographic Report of Committee's Hearings.) DEAN Wm. PICKENS HAS A HARD TIME TO KEEP FROM HITTING THIS "BIRD" Rep. William W. Larsen. "I happen to live in Georgia. In my home town, 1,365 niggers were registered. The nigger does not participate in the white primary." Mr. Pickens. "I was in Georgia at election time. They just arbitrarily decline to let the colored people vote." Rep. Larsen. "Take Will May. He voted he is a nigger, a pretty good nigger. I have nothing to say against him. His vote had the same relative strength as any man in Georgia." Mr. Pickens. "Yes." Rep. Larsen. "So the nigger was not discriminated against, in his case. Do you know how many of the total vote of Georgia were polled by niggers?" Rep. Milligan of Missouri. (Interposing) "Did you say you were in South Carolina at the time of registration? Did you see a letter that was circulated among the niggers of South Carolina at that time?" Mr. Pickens. "I do not remember that I did." Rep. Milligan. "Relative to the nigger women voting in South Carolina." Mr. Pickens. "Oh, you mean the letter from Greensboro; I saw that letter." _____ Rep. Milligan. "Did you know that the nigger women in voting in the State of Missouri gathered around the polls and kept the white women from voting?" WHAT MADE THE CRACKER MEMBERS HOT. OR HOW THE BEE GOT STUNG." Rep. Carlos Bee of Texas. "Do you make a wholesale charge against the men and women of the South?" Mr. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. "No I would not be so wise as to make such a statement, but for the sake of argument, let us admit that the statement is true, that there are people in the South who are seeking to prevent disorders of this sort, yet the activities of the mobs and the lawless elements are in such a majority, that the efforts of those who seek to prevent trouble are overwhelmed by those of the mob. Rep. Bee. "You state upon your authority as an officer of this organization, that the majority of the people of the Southern States are lawless or law violators?" Mr. White. "In many of the communities, that is so." Rep. Bee. "I asked you if your statement was that the majority of the people of the South were lawless and law violators?" Mr. White. "I say that in many communities of the South, the majority of them are lawless." Mr. Bee. "In what community of the South are they lawless?" Mr. White. "In answer to your question, I will mention Phillips County. Arkansas. The Chairman (interposing) "Just a moment gentlemen, members of the committee have wandered from the main subject which is before us." ALL SOUTHERN COLORED PEOPLE VOTE? Rep. Lauren E. Wheeler of Illinois. "Then, according to your statement, in the SOUTH, the Negro is permitted to vote with the same freedom that he is in the North?" Rep. Larsen. "Absolutely: and any statement to the contrary is unfounded." IS WHITE "COLORED" OR "WHITE?" IS WHITE COUNTY Rep. Clark of Florida. "In my county, we have got Negro farmers who drive by my house on Saturday in automobiles. Negroes who are amply able to pay their way here and come before this committee and if they have any complaint to make, they can make it for themselves and they do not need these Negroes from New York to come here and represent them. "We have in Gainsville, a lot of Negroes worth $50,000 and, in Jacksonville, many worth $100,000." Rep. Glynn of Conn. "Mr. White is not a Negro." (Walter F. White of N. A. A. C. P.) Rep. Clark. "If he is not, I never saw one in my life and if he is not, I have less respect for him." Rep. Laurens of Georgia. "If I am a Negro, he is a Negro." Rep. Clark. "Mr. Chairman. I want to say in conclusion, that I do not think you will get a single solitary intelligent Negro in Florida to come here and say that he has not been treated rightly. It is just this Negro- phile gang from New York, who are living on the hard labor of those industrious Negroes down South." REP TINKHAM IS "TIGHT" Rep. Tinkham of Mass. "That mandatory section of the Constitution makes it absolutely illegal and unconstitutional for this committee to report a bill which does not take into consideration the question of disfranchisement, if it exists. In other words, this committee must inquire under the Constitution as to the existence of this disfranchisement, and if it finds disfranchisement, reduce the Representatives of that State or those States which maintain a system which disfranchises. Rep. Bee of Texas. "How about the actions of former committees?" Rep. Tinkham. "The only answer to that question is that their action has been illegal but the question of illegality has never been brought before any tribunal for decision. But the action of this committee will be brought before the Supreme Court for a decision, if it can be brought before that court by any known method." Rep. Bee. "Is that a threat or a promise?" Rep. Tinkham. "It is a statement of face." THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL Fat and Foolish Mr. Taft Max Barber in Philadelphia Public Ledger It is a sad commentary of the times that a former President of" the United States can publicly give sanction to Southern chicanery and injustice, as Mr. Taft does in his recent utterance on "The Negro in Politics." Mr. Taft still labors under that old delusion that the Solid South can be broken up by catering to "lily-whiteism." Hayes tried it and failed. McKinley tried it and failed. Mr. Taft himself tried it and failed. The opportunist always will fail in the end. There are some good white men in the South, like Professor Kerlin, of the Virginia Military Academy; but they are like trees on a Sahara, and they cannot modify the severe general judgment of the section. And some day men like Mr. Taft will learn that temporizing wins nothing. We must take a stand for right, for justice, for fair play, for the constitution, and stand by it. The ideal must not be lowered, but rather the people raised. If we would spend a little money trying to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and not be so thoroughly partial to the eighteenth amendment, I believe our moral sense would be better satisfied. Mr. Harding will make a grave mistake, a mistake which will most assuredly be resented by the Negro, if he pays any attention to Mr. Taft's advice on the race question. It ill becomes a former President of the nation to apologize for past injustice and pave the way for future injustice to 12,000,000 of his fellow citizens. THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL The "Japanese Problem" has reached this section of Texas. Last Friday morning B. P. Kato, a Japanese colony promoter was met as he dropped from the California Special and politely told that he was not a welcome visitor to Brownsville and in the same breath, he was informed that he had forty-eight hours to stay in our midst. The message was delivered to the distinguished Japanese in the name of the American Legion, the local chamber of commerce and the retail merchants' association. Mr. Kato gave due heed to the admonitions of the committee and left the city well within the forty-eight hour time limit set for his stay here. C. M. Dorsey Says Writer In "American" Substantiates Statements Made By In- surgens In These Columns. "AMERICA" a national magazine published by the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, has been devoting considerable space to a discussion of the needs and troubles of the Catholic Missions to the colored people. In a recent issue, William M. Markoe, S. J. publishes an interesting letter which virtually confirms every charge made by the Insurgent Catholics and published during the past two years in the AFRO-AMERICAN. This letter, by Rev. Mr. Markoe ends in this fashion: "About a year ago, a committee of colored Catholics issued a pamphlet in which they attempted to show that the Catholic clergy are opposed to a colored priesthood. It contains falsehoods and exaggerations, but it does not help matters to be blind to the fact that there is some foundation for the discontent of many of our colored fellow-Catholics." The Insurgent Catholics are not repudiating or denying the truth of any statement published in the AFRO-AMERICAN during the past two years, in reference to the prejudice of the Catholic clergy and the brutal treatment accorded colored aspirants to the Catholic priesthood, especially by the present Superior of St. Joseph's Society for Negro Missions and his advisors. The Catholic clergy, bishops and priests, have kept pace with every effort to humiliate the colored man, not only in the South, but are extending and carrying into Northern and Western communities the spirit and practice of segregation and discrimination, through the establishment of separate Catholic schools and separate Catholic Churches for colored people, and, in all cases, presided over by a white priest. Abuse of the Insurgent Catholics and petty persecutions by bishops and priests do the insurgents no harm, but has a potent force to intensify the discontent of the masses of colored people, who can only see in the attempt to humiliate the thoughtful colored Catholic, a determination on the part of the Catholic clergy to keep in subjugation and superstition any community of colored people which they may control. Mr. Markoc, in America, says: "It is a fruitless task to preach Catholicism to colored people and at the same time set up a discriminating color-line in our churches and schools, essential adjuncts of our faith. Christ Himself laid universal charity as the mark of His true disciples. The contradiction in Catholic discrimination is evident: to the supposedly dull minds of our black brethren. Not many months ago I was speaking about the Catholic Church to a colored man who seemed much chagrined over the racial discriminations made by Protestant sects. Here was an opportunity to bring home to him at least one practical outstanding feature of the true religion, namely that Christ had come to save all men. His Church must know no color line. I had no sooner made the claim with pride for the Catholic Church, than my black friend smiled incredulously, and reaching to a shelf, handed me a newspaper. It was a Negro weekly. In large type across the front page a head-line told of a Catholic priests who had recently forbidden colored Catholics the use of his church. That priest helped prevent a colored man over 2000 miles away becoming a Catholic." C. MARCELLUS DORSEY Schools. More churches, more colored doctors and better schools, those are the three things in which we colored people stand badly in need, of. I have been in a lost every state in the United States, even as far South as Mexico. I find also in each state that we have got some colored men and women fully capable to fill all positions which are being filled by the white man. Though I submit freely—that the colored people in the South have more difficulty to confront them as an obstacle to successfulness then we people who live in the Northern states, but through all matters of that respect, I do say that we colored people of today can, if we only try, accomplish all necessary things in which we stand badly in need. What I mean is this: build more churches and vote, vote, vote for one who will pledge to do all he can for the up-building of his race, color and kind.

Watkins How does the poet serve the human race? What is his mission in the world of men? What means the thought that points his chosen pen. With beauty such as Time can never efface? What cares he offer in the mighty case. Of progress, where the wisdom and the ken. Of master minds are sorely tensed? Ah, then. O Fame, why grantest thou in him a place? Lo! where life's builders build—the poet's light. Looks from above. It is the signal fire. Of vision, calling ceaseless, spirit higher. His is the soul's best Dream—the perfect sight. His tunel being is a love sweet wistery. The Harmony of Heaven in his lyre. THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN" y of Africa and the War Predicted by Marcus Garvey was necessary to look up these decisions and apply them to the case in hand because any law passed by a law-making body was uncertain of application until the exact meaning and intent of every sentence had been decided in open court. In other words a law was good for nothing until it had been buttressed and backed up by the opinion of some judge or judges. This meant practically that our laws were made by the judges and not by the legislators as representatives of the people. Moreover, it was accepted that, in looking up these previous decisions, called precedes, the attorneys always selected and brought out the attention of the court only two cases that favored their own side of the suit, so that the most industrious of keen-witted lawyer would often win his case, without any regard whatever to the justice of his contensions. It was also held by the critics of this practice, to the great discontent and contempt of the legal fraternity, who seemed to consider as one man that they oblige or hate not qualified to judge in the matter, it was held, I say, that it was unfair and bad invitatory to injustice to allow any consideration of precedents whatever to have weight in any suit, that no case was like any other and never could be, because human affairs were in such a condition of necessant flux and change, that every case ought, of right, to be decided on its own merits and without reference to any other, and that the judge who actually heard the case could apply the law and interpret the law, in that concrete case then and there before him, better than a judge who had rendered a decision and given his interpretation of the law in a somewhat similar case, years before, since the case, no matter how great their outward similarity could be identified, on account of the constant changing relations and environment of the parties to the suits. It was as foolish, said the critics, as to maintain that any two trees in a forest are precisely allie, or any two men or women. It was asserted, moreover, that lawyers themselves practically acknowledged the unessence of constantly appearing "That gave us some trouble, and we solved it abolishing all law, at one sigh sweep. We found that almost all of what we cried crimes were connected with or caused by two things property and passion, and a considerable part or crimes due to passion we found to be really prompted by the desire for property. As you can see, we were rigidly approaching what you would call anarchy, and in fact this is where we ended. When we thought, we had settled beyond a doubt that all crime was the result and a natural and inevitable result they could do nothing with their plunder, that there was no buying or selling, and that they were simply accumulating a lot of stuff that they could not use, that they had all they wanted to eat and drink, besides clothing and shelter without stealing or injuring anyone else, the disturbances gradually ceased. It was soon found that there was absolute equality of privilege, that there were no more rich or poor, and that happiness and contentment lay in looking after oneself and leaving others to do the same. stallment of "The 's Burden' d NEXT WEEK) the qualities of the successful advocate were mainly logical ability and strenuous including the latter a knowledge of human nature. But the qualities that won cases before a bench or a jury were those that could be exhibited openly in court and could not be hidden from observation. There could be no more deviling in many records for what would support one's contentions, and ignoring or concealing everything antagonistic. This made our trials shorter and much more satisfactory and the public was convinced that better justice was done. It also curiously enough resulted in a considerable diminution of civil suits and consequently of the number of lawyers, which some persons thought a gain of itself. But criminal cases were not much diminished, and our entire court system continued to be an expensive burden to carry. "Events now began to move swiftly. The people had made one breach in the old time honored conventions, and the results had been good. They began to devise others. They found their courts very costly in salaries, fees and wages, and began to wonder whether justice could not be obtained more cheaply. What is the use they said, of laws, anyway? Why not set each case, which is now litigated at enormous expense, be decided by neighbors? Why should two people who disagree have to hire special advocates and go through all the tedious court proceedings in order to settle their quarrel? If so many case are sent to a referee, anyhow, why not set them choose their own referee, and save the whole thing to him? And so it was, to make a long story short, not after prolonged discussion, it was resolved to abolish all the courts and get rid of the judges and court hangers-on." "Just what of the criminal courts?" I said. "How about them?" "That gave us some trouble, and we solved it by abolishing all law, at one all sweep. We found that almost all of what we called crimes were connected with, or caused by two things property and passion, and a considerable part or crimes due to passion we found to be readily prompted by the desire for property. As you can see, we were rapidly approaching what you would call anarchy, and in fact this is where we ended. When we thought, we had settled beyond doubt that all crime was the result and a natural and inevitable result. of the institution of private property with the slight exceptions of sporadic cases of physical violence caused by ungovernable passion, by general agreement we did away with the whole thing, entirely abandoned the that one man or one set of men have any right, except that of might, to direct the actions of any other man and tell him what he may do and what he must not do. We determined that every one of us should lead the life he himself though best, and that no other man or woman should attempt to coerce his actions except in their own self-defense." "Sheer anarchy, as you say." "Exactly. It was a long time before things ran smoothly, but we have been living in this way now for more than a thousand years, and have nothing to regret. Indeed our wise men tell us that our abolition of all such unnatural restrictions and attainment of absolute freedom was the only thing that saved our people from relapsing into the battalion that has been the fate of the white race so often through the ages." "But how could you possibly make such a complete change in so short a time?" "The time was not short. It was many years in coming and our preparations were perfected very gradually. And when the change finally took place there was for a considerable time much tumult and disorder." "It seems to me like reversion to savagery." "Do we strike you as savages? Do you not see the evidences of a high civilization all about you here?" "And yet," I replied, "mankind has always emerged from a primitive savage condition by adopting or developing some kind of government by law. The security of person, and property depends upon proper enforcement of laws well devised and property enacted." "That is' the ancient theory, and it seemed at one period of history to be well founded. But it is not strictly true. White law has been an important element in the development of human civilization, it was really suited to only one stage in the evolution of the race. Under its regime the human race advanced, it is true, and probably in consequence of the invention of the law. But the law was only a step, and when its operation ceased to be advantageous, when it because a clog upon further advancement, it was disbanded. For, after all, what is the law, but a means of all imposing the will of one man upon others, or of a community upon its members, usually a majority upon a minority? It always infringed upon all the independence of the person, very much as the war club of a cavalier maintained his sway. The law, after all, is based upon force, and is null and of no effect unless there is physical compulsion back of it. The progress of mankind has been marked all along by a gradual emancipation from the rule of physical force. From the brutal dominion of the savage chief or head-man down through the patricial head of the family, the absolute monarch, the king, the parinaments, the legislature under universal suffrage in a simon pure democracy, there has been a constant, undeviating tendency toward the emancipation of man from eternal control. The entire emancipation, the absolute freedom of the individual has been dreamed of by many, but attained by us alone, and that is one reason out of many why I say that we represent at the present age of the world the highest type of civilization. Even in your own time there were those who struggled blindly toward this goal, but they were few and tar apart, and out of sympathy with their surroundings, so that they accomplished nothing. In fact, it is extremely doubtful whether the white race will over give up the dreadful delusion that the more law they have the better off they are. Law is their panacea for all social ills, but actually, though they cannot see it. It is only a soothing syrup, a narcotic for undeveloped minds." "Well, we will let that pass, but I am curious to know how the transition was effected from a regime of law to its abolition." "It was determined upon many years ahead how many I do not now recollect, but my impression is that no particular date for the change was named, but it was simply understood that the people were tired of their chains and reyu to throw them off as soon as they could. It was, of course, anticipated that when all laws, courts, police, and all restriction and penalties affecting personal liberty were abolished, there would be great turmoil and distress until things settled down. Old beliefs and habits would for a time still sway the actions of a large number of people. Old ideas of money and property would hold for a while, and the poorest of the community, it was to be expected, would join in a general footing of persons and premises. And it was so. But when they found that "Our preparation for the transition period consisted largely in teaching the ignorant what was to come. The government constructed some large warehouses at convenient points, where supplies of all the necessaries of life could be stored, where any person was at liberty to go and help himself to anything he wanted. It was urged with all possible vehemence that on the fateful day everyone should continue for a time, until matters adjusted themselves, to do whatever he had been doing, and to live as he had been living, only bearing all the time in mind the fact that everything was done for the benefit of all at first, until individualism could be made complete. There was to be no money, no medium of exchange, and no private property, which, by the way always leads to the eventual bankruptcy of nations. The factory employee was to work, the artisan to ply his trade the professional man to give his service, all without fee. Everyone who lacked food or clothing was to procure it in the shop, and the shopkeeper was to supply it without compensation." "In other words there was wholesale confiscation of private property." "father a wholesale and universal contribution of private property, for the change in personal relations had been thoroughly discussed and what was done was done with the consent of all." "Do you mean to say that all who owned property of any kind gave it over to the general use voluntarily? That is not conceivable." "Nevertheless, that is precisely what occurred. But as a matter of fact one had to sacrifice anything. The richest men, those who had to give up the most, according to your ideas, still had good food, clothing and shelter, and that was all a man needs and all they had before. Whatever they possessed over, and above this was superfluity, a pure accumulation of things they could not use and kept merely because they did not know what to do with them. What can the tradesman do with the contents of his shop? He cannot eat all the groceries nor wear all the clothing. It is of no use at all to him unless he can exchange for something else, money it used to be. But if there is no money, no medium of exchange, and he can procure all he wants of other things by stepping into his neighbor's shop, the best he can do with his own stock is to distribute 'it among those who do want it, is it not?' "Not only useless, but injurious" "But the luxuries of the wealthy?" "Do you mean to say that your people, all of a sudden, became contented to live on plain food, wear coarse clothing and sleep on bare boards, just because some cranky individuals thought it better."

CARY COLORED BOYS PARTICIPATE IN ROUND CONTEST Two boys of Benjamin Bamkeer School No. 113 named frank Kelley and Hammard Carter gave a very boxing exhibition before thousands of spectators on a platform erected on the City Hall Plaza, Friday Jan. 14. From the time of the going to the end of the bout both boys mixed in well. Kelley led with a right to the jaw forwards tatter to cover up well during the whole match. Both boys however marked a mean punch in either mitt. Kelley having advantage in both height and poise carried the light to Carter. In spite of Kelley's advantage his wound didn't last, much to Carter's advantage for his punches now failed to land hard. Both grinned a grin of relief when the referee separated them. Mr. Harry T. Pratt is the principal of these lads.
