MAMIE SMITH JAZZ SINGER NOT DEAD Popular Singer Of The "Blues" Together With Jazz Hounds Keeps Engagement In Norfolk Week Of February 9th Company Is Booked To Play In Savannah, Ga. Noelfa, Va., Jan. 26.—Denying that she is dead, Mamie Smith, unique singer of popular jazz and blues songs, appeared at the Attacks Theater here Monday night before a crowded house. She was accompanied by her jazz hounds, a band of instrumental musicians. For the past two weeks rumors have been going throughout Baltimore and Washington, that Miss Smith who rose from a member of a travel concert company to sustain in less than five months, had been assaulted and killed. Friends of her who know her best say she has not been spoiled by success and is still the same Mamie Smith she has always been self-willed. "I said Miss Smith in a recent interview, 'that these thousands of people who come to hear me at my concerts, expect much, and I do not intend that they shall be disappointed.' They have heard my photograph records and they want to hear me sing these songs the same as I do in my own studio in New York. For that reason, I am taking with me my original jazz hounds, who are in my opinion, the finest players of syncopated music in the world today. Another thing. I feel that my audiences want to see me becomingly gowned, and I have spared no expense or pains in featuring the shops of the most fashionable midlays in America, which the result that I believe my audience will like my gowns as much as I do, for I feel that the best is none too good for the public that pays to hear a singer." Inside the jazz hounds, Miss Smith's company includes, a jogger and a ventriloquist. She is on a Southern tour now and her next stop will be the week of February ninth in Savannah, Georgia. In one city she sang to an audience of 11,600 paid admissions. Greenbore, N. C.

W. L. Jan. 18. (Special) This island has been the mecca for wealthy American whites during the winter months due undoubtedly to its warm weather at this season of the year, and to the American Irish Amendments. While the temperature in the states hang around the freezing point, and Baltimore wonder where the next ten of coal at $15.75 is coming from, natives here who by the way outnumber the whites nine to one, walk around in a one piece garment covering their shoulders and loins in a temperature that never falls below 65 degrees and usually averages 80 degrees. The climate, which is said to be favorable to sufferers of pulmonary diseases because of the porous nature of the soil and the absence of swamps, is the main attraction for American visitors, however, who recognize the two bars, which lures are obtainable in large numbers. There are no prohibition officers here, in fact the island is wide open. Here of the good kind, costs 12 cents a bottle, and real Scotch or Ivy Whiskey retails at the same price per drink. Locating whiskey, which I understand Baltimoreans get, when they can at $5 a part costs from $1.25, while champagne, highballs, sherry, part, rum, gin and other drinks are downright cheap. Also the island, which has only 155 square miles, one fourth-80% of the downtowns the population lives in, makes it one of the most thickly settled regions on the globe. In spite of the lack of any prohibition laws, there is little drunkness except among the visitors. Frequent brews among the whites, especially among the sailors from visiting American ships go unnoticed by the colored policemen unless natives are disturbed. In spite of natural advantages that the law has afforded under British rule due to the lack of good schools and poor working conditions, the average wage of servants is $2 per week, and skilled carpenters and painters can earn little more than twice this much. Native们 are able to migrate as rapidly as possible to the United States, especially to New York, where an organization of West Indians them to get a start.

LEADERS SAY THEY DEFEATED TINKHAM BILL Massachusetts Congressman's Measure To Reduce Representation Purposely Killed LONGWORTH SPEAKS Tells Afro Correspondent, Republican Party Has A Better Plan By Colored Syndicate Press Bureau Washington, D. C., Jan. 26.—Copyright (Special to the Afro-American). The Apportionment Bill is of tremendous and vital importance to the twelve million Negroes of the Nation. When introduced by Chairman Seigel of the Census Committee, it could be readily seen that the battle lines were tightening, and that one of the greatest parliamentary battles in the history of the House of Representatives was on. It was every evident from the start, that if the Bill, brought in by the majority of the committee was to be enacted in full, it would be done over the heads of the leaders of the Republican party, although, the majority of the Census Committee was Republican. However, the Republican leaders were not in accord with several sections of the Bill, mainly those calling for an increase of membership in the House. The important feature of this legislation family passed, was that the Republican party gained all along the line, and made it possible for practical legislation to be enacted, that will be of great assistance in solving the complex suffrage question of a million colored men and women of the South. The Republican leaders had this mind, when they made the fight against increased representation in the House. The Tikhikam resolution was defeated by a point of order made by Congressman Longworth, of Ohio. If the Tikhikam resolution had been accepted, the bill would have been defeated. It was a very inopportune time for Congressman Tikhikam, to press his resolution. Mr. Tikhikam, made a grievous mistake white Republican leaders say, having been advised by them that his resolution would so complicate the question before the House, that it would be impossible to pass the bill in any form.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 26.—When nearly five days of questioning and torture had failed, detectives Bradley and Hammersla, of Baltimore, used religious talk to obtain a confession of murder from Henry A. Brown, nineteen year old sailor of U. S. A. Cumberland, lying in anchor here. Brown confessed to killing Harriet L. Kavanaugh, Naval Academy nurse, to obtain eight dollars. He was arrested Sunday night of last week and questioned continuously up to Tuesday, when he was put under the third degree. Harry Green, George House and Albert Pinkney, three colored men of the Shore Patrol, were placed in Brown's cell, at different times. to help him. Then, House had a chance, and finally Pinkney. Starved and a physical wreck from the bedings and back of sleep. Brown still declared that he was not in Annapolis at the time of the crime. The three men were told that Brown was responsible for their arrest, because they had failed to pick him up Friday night as a deserter from the navy. A dialective was placed in the cell so the detectives could hear the conversation. Green beat Brown unnerecfully so that he begged for mercy for two hours and pleaded to the Lord NEGRO NOT INFERIOR TO OTHER RACES NEGRO NOT INFERIOR TO OTHER RACES Professor Franz Boas Of Columbia University Swats Idea Of White Superiority OKEYS MULATTO Bad For Human Stock, Bad For Human Stock He Says New York, Jan. 26.—Popular belief in the inferiority of the Negro race is given a severe setback by Professor Franz Boas, white of Columbia University in an article in the current number of the Yale Review. Professor Boas came into the lime light several years ago when he published his findings on the "Mind of Primitive Man" in which he proved that the size of the Negro brain does not vary from that of other races. He says: "An important phase of the Negro problem in this country relates to the position of the mulatto. The common saying is that he inherits all the bad qualities of both races. "Socially this may be true in many cases, and it can readily be understood. If, however, the attempt is made to prove the biological inferiority of the mulatto, we are confronted by the fact that no evil results are found in the mixed population of Africa in the Northern borderland of the Negro country, where Mediterranean races and Negroes are present, the fact that under favorable conditions the mulatto is healthy and may attain to great eminence, as in the cases of Dumas and Pushkin. For the great mass of mulattoes in our own country, the relatively unfavorable conditions of life must be taken into consideration." "Even if there is another a biological nor a psychological justification for the popular belief in the inferiority of the Negro race, the social basis of the race prejudice in America is not difficult to understand." "It is natural that the stronger the individuality of a person who is thus assigned to a class with which he has little in common, the stronger must also be his moral against those who refuse to take him at his own individual worth, the moment of his life, the self-respect Negro feels the strain of his inability to overcome the prejudices that merge him in a type. This resentment will grow in extent as individual achievement develops among the Negroes while they are still not valued as individuals. "It is easier to point out the cause of conflict between whites and Negroes than to formulate a remedy. If my view is correct, it is clear that the only fundamental remedy for the situation is the recognition that the Negroes have the right to be treated as individuals, not as members of a class."

PEANUTS YIELD CARVER 100 NEW PRODUCTS PEANUTS YIELD CARVER 100 NEW PRODUCTS Tuskegee Professor Has Audience With Tariff Commission Of House Of Representatives MEMBERS APPLAUD Democrats And Republicans Declare It Best Exhibition They Have Best Seen Washington, D. C. Jan. 22.—One hundred new products from the ordinary peanut were shown to the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives yesterday and pronounced the most wonderful exhibition the members had ever seen. The exhibitor was Professor George W. Carver, head of the Department of Chemistry of Tuskegee Institute, and Democrats and Republicans greeted the conclusion of his remarks with applause, the first demonstration of the sort the tariff hearing have ever known. Professor Carver's discoveries exhibited include ten kinds of milk, five kinds of punches (cherry, lemon, orange, blackberry and orange), orange juice and flour, two grades of meat, five breakfast foods, new flavorings for ice cream, cakes, ginger-bread, cookies and various confections, chocolate-coated peanuts, peanut bars, crystallized peanuts, three relishes, nine wood sausins, ranging from malachite green to fumed golden oak, black ink, face powder and face cream. Worcester sauce, four different kinds of stock foods (including a hay composition made from the vine, ground hay with peanut cake and a sweet food with peanut added as a tonic), and various kinds of oils. Carver showed the committee a landscape scene he had drawn with peanut ink. While he did not go into other investigations he has made, he stated that thus far he has discovered 17 products that can be made from sweet potatoes. He said the flavoring extract obtained from the peanut extract could be used as a base for any number of flavors, and he mentioned strawberries, lemon and vanilla in addition to those he had discovered. Carver appeared under the auspices of the United Peanut Association of America, which is asking for a protective duty against peanuts. This is to certify that Rev. W. K. Johnson has been expelled from the Mutual Organization of Baptist Churches on the charge of having misappropriated the organizations funds. Signed: Rev. G. Dawson, president; Rev. F. L.

SCORES ACTION OF SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN SCORES ACTION OF SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN James W. Johnson Claims They Dared Not Say "Nigger" To His Face CALLS THEM COWARDS Georgia And Florida Congressmen Charged With Changing Records New York, Jan. 24.—(Special) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter charging that Southern representatives in Congress, had had the word "nigger" inserted into the printed report of hearings, on disfranchisement of colored Americans, when they had not dared to use the word to colored witnesses. The letter which is addressed to Representative Isaac Siegel, chairman of the Committee on the Census and is signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Advancement Association, is as follows: "January 24, 1821 "Hon. Charles Siegel, Chairman, Committee on Census House of Representatives Washington, D. C." "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to call your attention to the cowardly tactics employed by Southern members of the Census Committee of the House of Representatives of which you are chairman. "These Southern Congressmen on the Census Committee write the word 'nigger' in the Congressional Record, although they did not dare use that term when speaking face to face with officers of this Association. "They permit their proof sheets to go back to the printer, using the word 'nigger' than pretending to their fellow home that they dared use this insulting word to the colored witnesses. The Southerner pretends to be unable to pronounce the word _ egro, and what he says is this: "Nigrah, of course disarms and objection, inasmuch as it becomes a more matter of pronunciation. Presumably he is trying to say 'Negro.' "Thus Larsen, of Georgia, and Milliam of Missouri, continually use the words 'nigger' and 'nigger woman' in the printed report of the hearing, when they did not dare use it in speech. If they had used these insulting terms to the colored men who faced them, there would have been something else in record. Larsen prefers to have the word 'nigger' in the william. Pickens concerning one William as being a 'nigger', a pretty good 'nigger' while Milliam prints himself in the record as using the term 'nigger woman.' "May I ask that you see that the record is corrected so as to conform with the facts and that you advise me when these corrections have been made.

TEN YEAR OLD TELLS OF ALLEGED CRIME White Insurance Collector Charged With Attempting Assault. On Little Esther Short HEARD STEPS Child Says He Paid No Attention To Her Protests That even ten year old children are not safe from middle aged white insurance collectors was evidenced last Friday morning in the Northwestern police station when Harry Feldheimer, white, 50 years old, collector for the Sun Insurance Company, was held for court under $500 bail for an allor- ed attempted assault upon ten year old Esther Short. Mr. and Mrs. Samsul Short, parents of the little girl were in the station house and appeared much charranged at the small hall fixed by Justice Chapman. Attorney Payne, counsel for the plaintiffs, also called the magistrate's attention to the little girl's statement, with the idea that it would guide him in taking the ball, but the amount was not increased. A little excited, Mr. Payne walked up and down, but said nothing further. Mr. Payne also objected to the little girl making any statement, folding Foldheim waived examination, asking that his trial go to the Criminal Court, but Justice Chapman overruled him, calling the toot to the stand where she told a straightforward story of the alleged attempt assault. Not yet out of the graded schools and barely past her tenth year, the child told how Foldheim came to her parents' home at 611 Pitcher street to collect insurance her parents carry and that of her grandmother. Mrs. Short, she said was upstairs, and sent the money down by her. When she came down with the money, the white collector, who is well in middle life and baldheaded down and called her over to take a seat on his lap. He pinched her cheeks, she declared, disarranged her clothing, meantime exposing himself. Feldheimer, she stated paid no attention to her protest that "mother did not allow that," and only desisted when he that he heard her mother coming down stairs. Before leaving she added, Feldheimer warned her "not to tell," but she went directly to her mother and told what he had done. News of the alleged attempt at assault spread through the city Friday and created considerable bitterness. When asked by a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN what authority the Sun Life Insurance Company, 114 Bedford street, contemplated, the vice president declared that the whole matter had been placed in the hands of Judge Moses and that nothing further would be done.

Jan. 24, 1921 To the Editor of Afro-American; Dear sir, We the undersigned Officers and Representatives of Bethel A. M. E. Church, respectfully ask that, in your edition of this week, out of a spirit of fairness or at least prompted by a pense of Justice you make a correction of at least two statements that are absolutely incorrect; with reference to the discontinuance of the publication of "Bethel Herald". We refer to page (See Afro Jan. 14 P. 8). As regards this last statement we wish to say that the Bethel Herald never was a continuous weekly publication, but that it was run as to special during rallies and generally was discontinued at the conclusion of a rally, and that when the present Pastor came to Bethel Church in June 1920 there was no paper known as Bethel Herald being published nor had there been such paper published for some time prior to his appointment. It has also been stated by the author of the article in question that "This year for the first time a price has been put on it." If any one thinks there is any truth in such a statement we have all the evidence necessary to convince any one—however anxious they may be may be to create unfavorable comment; that this is not the first time a price has been put on the paper. And that under former administrations we have had to pay cost of publication. Respectfully Signed, Wm. Magnuder, Wm. H. Doole, Wm. Watts, George W. Cooper, Jr. Luther C. Johnson, Stephen Shepherd, Arthur G. Langford, Secretary; and Thaddeus Copeland, Chairman. ALLEN A. M. E. CHURCH, Lexington Street, Tev. Dr. C. Harold Stepton, Pastor. As officers of Allen A. M. E. Church Stewards, Trustees, Stewardess, and Leaders, we feel called upon to say a word in behalf of the great work being done here by the faithful membership under the capable leadership of our pastor, Dr. Steptone. We are pleased to say that we have never had a more peaceful administration, certainly never a more successful one, we have, under this present pastor paid the last dollar of mortgage indebtedness on the church and parsonage, a debt of more than 18 years standing, we have installed a most efficient system of electric lights in both parsonage and church, every current bill has met as it comes due, a thing, never in the history of the church was done before and some of us have been officers in this church for 20 or more years. In December, we had a Mortgage Burning which we were told elicited any thing of its kind in workmanship and execution that had been given around here. There is no division among us, we love our pastor and his wife and two dear children. He has mapped out for us a great work for the improvement of our church and we are willing to follow him. We are doing more community work and work among the poor than ever before. During the Christmas we sent out more than 25 baskets to the poor and gave more than $20.00 in cash to those in need. Mrs. Stephan and Mrs. Hattie Green superintended the Christmas Charities. These two ladies deserve much credit for their mutting work in getting out these baskets to the needy. We have decided to install steam heat, put in a new organ and make necessary improvements in our church. This is done in sessions of the Official Board with the unanimous vote of the same, this the 7th day of January 1821. John Maxfield and Wm. Barber, secretaries; Wm. Boardley, acting president.

READY THE NEW LINCOLN Another tipton bill is on tap at the New Lincoln bill this week. It comprises Dudley and Dudley who have a line of chef and waitress chatter that is true to life: Griece and Coleman who sing and dance well, and also have a line of chatter that "knocks them off their seats". Original Pages who has an entertaining monologue followed by a song in reference to various individuals in the audience which made a great hit with the crowd; Williams and Edwards, who are two of the best harmonists heard here for some time; and "The All Star Review", a company of singers and dancers. The girls of this review not only are good dancers but are good to look upon and two of the best qualified in this respect, are Baltimore girls. However, there are some suggestive remarks and bits of action which might be eliminated without detracting from the merit of the act. THE NEW RAINBOW The vaudeville bill at the New Rainbow this week, comprises Duskball and Cook, a man and woman, who sing and dance, cleverly; Queen Dora who executes butterfly effects in the shadows of multi-colored lights from lantern slides, a new novel in the smaller vaudeville houses; Delyon and Ewing another male and female team who sing and dance in an experienced manner; and "Longboy" a rather comical fellow who knows how to get a laugh without opening his mouth. THE CAREY On Feb. 10th William S. Hart who has always been a great favorite with Carey audiences, will make his appearance in a screen character that will be a departure from those with which he has become chiefly associated, namely that of a city policeman, the title of the play is "The Cradle of Courage" and his admirers will find the erashev hero of the Western plains the same faithful defender of defenseless womanhood that he was when he wore the chaps and sambero. On the 5th Harry Carey, another son of the plains, will appear in the first installment of a series entitled the "Midnight Riders." The management has several other great treats in store for Carey patrons in the near future. THE DUNBAR The Tuesday feature at the Dunbar the coming week will be William S. Hart in the "Bandit and the Preacher" this is one of Hart's greatest pictures and every lover of good pictures should see it. The latest serials are now being shown daily at this house, and the crowds that are flocking there is ample evidence of the foresight of the management in divining the desires of their audiences. TRE STAR The Wooden Bottom Musical Comedy Company is at the Star this week. This is a Western company which is playing the Baltimore circuit for the first time, and is creating the same sensation that it did at the other houses where it has appeared: standing room is at a premium at every performance. THE PALACE "The Four Dancing Demons" are at the Palace this week in conjunction with the "Girls From Happygirl" company, and are "holding up the show" at every performance, the four consists of two men and two women, who are dancers of a grade seldom seen in these parts, and they are acrobats of no can ability in the bargain. THE NEGRO AND THE DRAMA After struggling for nearly a decade to create interest among colored New Yorkers in the spoken drama of the better class, the management of the Lafayette Theater has been forced to abandon the project and turn once ore to the silent drama and vaudeville as the sole fare for the patrons of this house. This is to be regretted, for there are some of us who had hailed their decision to tackle the drama, with high hope; expecting that it would prove a nucleus for the long-hoped-for general invasion by the race, into the field of the serious drama. The cause of this failure, in the writer's judgment, is not far to seek: the theater, as everyone interested in it knows, is a place of illusion, a place of make-believe: primarily: the only element other than illusion, that enters seriously into the calculation of successful theatrical production, is what is called Realism. A play must, to be a success, be presented in a manner consistent with the ordinary bounds of the imagination, of the majority of its beholders, or else consistent with their experience. The policy of the management of the Lafayette ignored both these considerations. That this was largely the result of circumstances, must of course be admitted; however there is no evi- to warrant the assumption that the terms of race, but the was major-play-house which now represents the very latest word in theatre construction. NEARLY-LYNCHED For it must be remembered that the Negro is a young and growing race; all young races are subject to the influences of the elemental passions, the forces they have to contend with in their daily life it is just around such forces that is built a national drama, and it goes without saying, that no class of drama presented by race players will ever hold the attention of the Negro play-goer for long, unless it is drama that comprehends life as Negroes know it. Into into bold relief every point of contact with which it touches him, and no one will deny that the predominating force in opposition to the Negro today is race prejudice. This is the bane of his life, the ever present agree that must be crushed, and when you give him drama written around this enemy you give him life, his life. On the other hand: when you offer him a play which depicts the triumph of a poor but proud young son of "one of the first families of Virginia" over an impacuous European duke in winning the hand o the only daughter of the "king of Wall Street" and place the portrayal of these characters in the hands of Negroes, you make a demand on his imagination that he cannot reasonably be expected to maintain forever. For even in the broadest curriculure, there, must be, if ever so slight, a semblance of verisimilitude, and it makes no difference how pronounced his race pride may be nor how skillful the actor, there must always remain at bottom, the conscious conviction that the play is by its very nature a play for those who have a racial identity with the "first families of Virginia" and a "king of Wall Street." Of course there may be a few who are able with their "ininds eye" to visualize the situation in terms of drama rather than GOING OUT OF THE W ...

Would you marry for money? . Her mother wanted notoriety and was willing to sacrifice her daughter, but the tides of fate prevail—WELL DONT MISS IT. In further proof, take for instance, the case of a black-faced comedian, he may be ever so clever in portraying some of the accepted characteristics and idiosyncrasies attributed to the Negro, but there is never absent for a moment from the beholder's consciousness, the knowledge that the performer is merely a white man imitating a Negro; but let for instance, Bert Williams appear, and this attitude once changes, and the characterization becomes a living thing, not the Negro as he is supposed to be, but the Negro as he is. Therefore it must not be hastily assumed that the Negro is not interested in serious drama, for with his deeply emotional nature, the Negro can be reached through this medium quite as effectively as any other race, but it must be by plays which portray life as it is revealed to him through his daily experience and not by doubly taxing his imagination, first by visualizing the characters of the drama in the person of the actors, and then the actors in the person of another race.

Night School 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. 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 commission of the Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore. supplement of the Burbank Theatre. The management as 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 finally found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue. It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition. Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the 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. 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 fshores 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 yearof its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor. IF 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 of the 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. THIS ISSUE OF STOCK IS LIMITED ! ! ! 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. ```markdown ``` Yourself and friends are cordially invited to attend a dance given by the nifificant Club, Wednesday evening February 2, 1921.

Activities of the Boys My Menzes, My Menzes, My Menzes! It's evening, now: The clos of a "perfect day". It's Sunday evening—and I'm sitting at my desk in the quietness and stillness of the Sabbath sending forth a message to you—the hows of my face. but I have not done of our Sunday School in seven years. I'm always "there". Today by special request I taught the lesson to a large class of boys using the sand tray. The lesson was—as you remember—was about a Mother who came to Jesus to ask him to favor her two sons—to give them high positions. As I was teaching this lesson to the boys before me, I thought of the boy readers of this column and wondered if all of you—would try from today on to turn over a new leaf in your lives because of the help gained thru their lesson. You—all of you—who attended Sunday School know what the lesson was about and so I need not go over it except one fact—and that fact is that Jesus told this woman—who was his own aunt told her that her two boys (Jesus own cousins) would have to "work" their way in—if they expected any great things. And so to "you" my dear friends— all let all be willing to get on in life and thru life—absolutely on what "we" "ourselves" do; and not be ex- peeting to win success thru a whole wagon loads of "favors" from our friends.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Kid Norfolk of Baltimore, and Fred Fulton, one time contender for the heavyweight championship will meet in Boston, on next Tuesday in a 12 pound bout to a decision. Big white heavies will watch the result of this battle with a great deal of interest, especially in view of the fact that most of them have consistently refused to meet the colored aspirants for abstraction. Chink, middle weight knocked out. Smiling Kid Moreland in the eighth round of their fifteen round bout. The bell saved Moreland; while he was being counted out in the eighth round, but despite the feverish activities in his seconds, he failed to answer the bell in the ninth round. Kid of Cleveland, 145 pound boxer in Charles Smith, knocked out Jamada the first round. The kid smiled a foul but it was WON THREE, LOST FOUR Athenian Basketball Team On Western Tour Drops Three Games In A Row By DR. WILLIAM HARRIS Chicago, Ill. Jan. 26. After defeating Marysville 21 to 14 and Springfield 49 to 29, the Athenian Basketball Club of Baltimore lost its first game of the Western tour, when it bowed to Wilberforce university by the score of 33 to 34. It was a grappling game and the Baltimore men were tired from their trip. Lars Larsen skipped the Athenians defecated by Alpha Omega Club of Dayton, Ohio, by the score of 32 to 21. Then came the heavy stuff. The Baltimore boy's dropped the game with Indianapolis. Y. M. C. A. by the score of 22 to 21, which took eight minutes extra time to decide this game. After resting Sunday, they tackled a hard Forty Club of Chicago, Monday night, losing 30 to 19. The seventh game was dropped to the Allison Club, with the score 30 to 18. The Baltimoreans are in good shape and will play at Detroit, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, before returning. ATHENIAN ARROWS 32 HIAWATHA 27 BY J. EDW. JONES, Jr. The Athenian Arrows' fast quint pulled a neat surprise on the basketkeepers of Hiawatha, January 17, in the "X" gym, winning 32 to 27. The Arrows were brilliant in all departments and almost made a runaway affair of it. The first half wound up with the count 21 to 6 in favor of the Arrows. J. Baker and A. Dairis, speedy forwards, were here, there and everywhere caging their over and underhand shots while J. Rich played his best at center, this season. Turner played cleverly for the losers. ARMSTRONG 32 MORGAN 30 ARMSTRONG 32 MORGAN 30 The light fast team of Armstrong H. S. Washington, I. P. C., journeyed to Baltimore Thursday Jan. 20, and defeated the Morgan College five by a score 32 to 30. The edged lads handicapped by having an available place to practice, put up a wonderful defense. At one time the Morgantines and practically won the game but lost it in the last three minutes of play when Berry of Armstrong eaged four baskets in successions making the score 30 to 20. Five minutes were given to play off the tie. Both teams fought hard for four minutes, when the Washingtonians shot one from the center of the floor; the referees whistle blew, the game ended with the score 32 to 20 in the visitors favor. The game was one of the clearest and fastest contest ever played on the course this season. The all around playing of Ellis and Berry and the close guarding of Branson and Harris of the visitors was a real treat to their team. Sorrell starred for the Collegians, while Hodges and Tritchard gave a good account of themselves at guard.

Little Five Slaaughter The Metro Scouts of Wrestling Gym 44 to 18. The Metro Scouts were a much heavier team, averaging 110 lbs—but they were not able to cope with the clever passing and floor work of the light (80 lb.) "Y" boys. During the game Tom caged ten baskets; Charence Ward, better known as "aigy" caged five and Captain Jerome four. Neal Gilmore and Ed. Aller at guard were hard to score on, both playing like trojans. Their forwards only scored three baskets. George Smallwood also played well at guard while he was in the game. Tucker, the little spider, was too light to show his skill at guard, but while in the game he gave a good account of himself. W. Marshall starred for the Metro Scouts, scoring 13 out of 18 points. The return game will be played February 4th in Washington and a regular battle is expected. The game was the best played in the "Y" gym this season by any team and the score shows that there was no loafing on the part of the "Y" boys. They are basketball battlers and will make a mark in the sport world. Line up: Wood (Capt.)

Not much opposition is expected from the Wilmington Girls and they will endeavor to perfect some new plays that will be directed to the Carlyle Girls. Captain Louise Parrrot is playing a strong defensive game, roving all over the court. Constance Murphy has been called to the squad and has made a wonderful showing at guard. She can be shifted to forward to good advantage. Elizabeth Anthony is the best center ever developed in local female ranks being a good hard consistent player. "Piny" Brown is a real shooting forward and a real good guard will find much trouble in keeping up with her pace.

Williams) Hampton, Va., Jan. 26—The Shaw University quintet went down to de- tect for the second time this season before the onslaught of the Hampton Institute basketball tossers on Friday night, January 21. The game was played in Raleigh city auditorium. It was confidence because Shaw had Hampton 17 to 18 on the latters, courted. hitter's court during the holiday game, and because the Shaw team is considered this year the best ever turned out at the University. Hampton began the scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half, when Hardy made along basket, giving Shaw all 11 to 19 lead. During the intermission the University band enveloped the occasion. The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton, five open with a dash that held the spectators breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting, with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to five points, while she rolled up eighteen points. Hardy, a former Hampton player, was easily the star for the local team, while the entire Hampton aggregation played as a machine. The guarding of both teams was close, which made the playing at times rough. HAMPTON SHAW McLaren R. F. Hardy Long L. F. Cook Brady C. Stewart Jones R. G. Lytle Gunn L. G. Toliver Referee: Nipple, North Carolina BIG CROWD SEES WILLS FLOOR TATE Awful Right To The Jaw Sends Tate To The Land Of Dreams Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 27.—Before a crowd estimated at over ten thousand, Big Bill Tate fell asleep, after having received a love tap on the point of the jaw from Harry Wills. The end came in the second round of what was to have been a fifteen round setoff, and few were prepared for such a sudden ending as the fight up to that time had given no indication of such sudden termination. During the first round, the two big fellows were evidently trying each other out: few blows were struck and no damage done. It was easily an even round and as they went back to their corners the big crowd settled back for a long battle. The beginning of the second round Tate slightly the aggressor and when he slammed several good ones on Wills' head rocking him slightly, the big crowd was on its feet screaming wildly. Wills was evidently worried and held in the clinches long enough to get himself together again. Tate again took the aggressive and they clinched. As they broke, Tate fell back a step and had not yet raised his arms to full position when the lightning struck. Wills whipped over a short right jolt flush on the jaw and Tate dropped like a bog. It was a clean knock-out and Tate was still struggling to reach the ropes when the referee finished clocking off the fatal count. There was protest over the knockout blow by Tate and his manager, Dan McKittrick, both of whom claimed that Wills had taken advantage of their man on the fair break stipulated in the instructions. The referee declared that the knockout blow came after the break had been accomplished and that Tate had failed to protect himself in time. LADY SAYS NEW TONIC IS FINE AFTER ILLNESS Built Her Up.

Okell, ruled here Thursday, that neither of the two rival State Grand Lodges of Masons can use the Masonic square or compass as emblems, in deciding the suit, Jefferson Davis, but not the late president of the Confederacy may be divorced. Mrs. Cloe Davis had attorney J. Stewart Davis filed the suit for her in Circuit Court Wednesday, on the grounds of abandonment. Too Much Mother-in-law Too much mother-in-law was the reason. Mrs. Marion Waters; 1991 McCullough street gave inquiry through Attorney J. Steward Davis in Circuit Court, Tuesday for an absolute divorce from Wilbur N. Waters, a clerk in the Baltimore Post Office. The couple were married in 1012 and got along happily together except when the plaintiff claims the mother-in-law mistreated her. They have one child seven years of age. BROTHER KILLS Crisfield, Jan. 27.—Joseph and Matthew Victory, brothers, had a bitter quarrel at Lawsonia Sunday.

POPULATION FIGURES According to figures given out by the United States Census Department, Richmond, Virginia, has 54,047 colored people. Cleveland, Ohio, has a colored population of 37,474. Another twenty years and the big cities of the west will boast of as large a colored population as the cities of the South and North. So far Washington has the largest colored population of 109,000, then comes Chicago, and then Baltimore, both of which are only a few hundreds from the leader. The colored population of New York and Philadelphia has not yet been announced, but both are expected to go ahead of Washington. ASSERTING THEMSELVES Representatives of 4,000 colored Railway trainment, most of them employed on Southern lines, appeared before the United States Labor Board asking that government agreements and contracts with white trainmen, be extended also to include them. The Southern trainmen understand that by waiting for somebody to give them recognition, it may never come. THE KU KLUX FUNCTION The Ku Klux of Hall County, Georgia, figured out recently a brand new way to handle the race problem. First they had a general order issued that no person should have firearms in his home. Homes of all colored folk were searched and their firearms confiscated. Then the "nigger drive" began in which the colored population was forced to flee to other parts. The Ku Klux are sowing the wind, the reaping of the whirlwind will surprise them. --- FREDERICK DOEGLASS' HOME A little while ago many friends of Frederick Douglas, the great Marylander, were bitterly disappointed that his name was not chosen for a place in the New York University Hall of Fame. According to the announcement of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs the colored people of the United States will be given an opportunity on Douglas' Birthday, February 12th, to place his name forever in the Hall of Fame at Anacostia, D.C. by making his home there so beautiful that visitors from all over the world will make a beaten home to "Cedar Hill." Four years ago the women took hold of the Douglass Home, redeemed it from its mortgage debt and put aside in the bank $4,000 toward completely renovating and restoring it. Six thousand dollars is needed for this work, so that this year, the call goes out to the friends and admirers of Frederick Douglass to celebrate his birth in the usual style, and in addition make some contribution towards the restoration of the Douglass Home. It is worth while noting that the largest contributor so far for this work was the late Madam C. J. Walker, and that a tablet in her memory will be placed in the finished building. EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN HARDING'S BIBLE It has just been learned why Senator Harding turned down the request of the Baptist Minister's Conference of this city to furnish him a Bible upon which to take the path of office on March fourth next. The president-elect has asked that he be allowed to use the same Bible which was used first by George Washington for this purpose and that it be opened to Micah 6th chapter and 8th verse, which reads: "He hath chosen thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Harding's choice of a Bible will not make the ministers feel that he has not appreciated their offer, and they must admit also that he has picked out a suitable "text" for inauguration. MR. HARDING PLAYS GOLF "I have no message for the people of the South that I would not utter to all the United States." This is the heart motif of the message which President-elect Harding has written at the behest of Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, to the South. Mr. Howell, it appears, is one of the prominent Southern men who is very anxious that a genuinely new era shall be opened for the southland. The Howell type of Southerner affects to be heartily tired of the present tangled situation which they say, is operating to the great economic and business disadvantage of their section of the country. The "Race Problem" is, of course, at the bottom of the entire situation. This is acknowledged on all sides by all complexions of men. "What is the Republican party going to do about the South's fears in relation to the loudly expressed ambitions of its present-day Negro citizens?" is the question uppermost in the minds of all Southerners. Hence the request of the editor of the Constitution. He, with other white Southerners want to know and want to know so sincerely that they can literally taste it. Mr. Harding's message has not evaded the direct question, it is declared by prominent men here, black and white, but, in his effort he has clearly called to the attention of the South the fact that the problems of the country are not sectional in character but apply, with equal force, to all the country. "Let's all pull together," he says. "Let us have oneness of Americanism." he declares in another instance of the "Message." In the matter of Southern appointment, Mr. Taft is the only leading Republican who has worried himself with the fear that Mr. Harding may so far forget the Southern tradition that he will appoint Negroes to first class Federal positions in the South. Why, no one has been able to answer intelligently. Up-to-date the President-elect has said nothing which would indicate his attitude in the matter of appointments outside of his cabinet, and a good deal of this has been tentative nature. Henry Lincoln Johnson is on the ground, but he has nothing to say about the question of appointments. Henry Lincoln may be playing "possum" no one knows. But he is keeping mum, just the same, and sawing wood, maybe. Dr. Emmett Scott declared he is not in politics and therefore has nothing to say about appointments. In fact everybody is up in the air on this all-important point and the result is a political fog so dense and thick one can almost cut with a knife. In the meantime Mr. Harding has laid aside the affairs of state for the moment and is playing Golf in the balmy climes and under the blue skies where Federal appointments are not heartily in evidence and the only Negro appointments that he has to worry about are the caddies who carry his clubs around the links. OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS? The House of Representatives for the second time In its history halted the decennial increase of its membership. By a vote of 267 to 76 it was determined that the house during the next ten years shall be composed of the present number of representatives—435. Only once before has the house resisted the temptation to increase its membership following a census in order to avoid the representation reduction of any state. In 1841 the house membership was reduced by ten. Under the plan of apportionment adopted today eleven states lose and eight states gain representatives, while twenty-nine states suffer no change. Missouri loses two members and Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Vermont one each. California gains three, Michigan and Ohio two each, and Connecticut, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas and Washington one each. one each. A sedecimal fight was started when Representativo Tinkham, Massachusetts, sought to have written into the reapportionment bill the provision of the constitution which authorizes the house to reduce representation from any state which denies UNEMPLOYMENT JOHN M. GOODRICH or abridges the right to its citizens or of the United States to vote. He held that several Southern states deny their Negro citizens that right. Representatives Carrett, Tennessee, Longworth, Ohio, Mondell, Wyoming, and Towner, Iowa, opposed this amendment. Representative Campbell, Kansas, chairman during consideration, told Tinkham he would have another opportunity to make his charge, and the house could be called to act after the apportionment now being authorized should become effective, March 23, 1923. Representatives Madden and Mann of Illinois were among those who favored the amendment, the Maryland delegation, as usual, saving nothing. It is worth pointing out that the point of order which killed the Tinkham resolution was made by a Republican Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, son-in-law of the late Roosevelt and another Republican, Frank Mondell, party leader, helped him do it. This brings to my mind that the Republican party will soon come into power again. I find I can not escape giving consideration to the responsibilities that must, of real necessity, fall to the lot of the Negro leaders in that party. I sincerely hope that Mr. Harding will be able to find jobs for the most of them. If he shall be able to do this for them it might give the other members of the race a genuine chance to think of something besides politics for the next four years. We are sadly in need of a sure-acting Cotton Harvester. --- The passage of an anti-lynch law, and provision for a colored regiment with colored officers as a part of the National Guard were recommended in resolutions adopted last week by the West Virginia State League of Colored People. Seventy-five representatives from eighty-five counties were present. Evidently the colored people of West Virginia had this in mind when they elected three colored representatives to the legislature. AIN'T IT TERRIBLE!! The Associated Negro Press Wilson, N. C., Jan. 24.—One dollar and cost was the judgment imposed by Magistrate J. R. Hardy on James Elons, Bill and Edgar Artis, of Black Creek, who took George Moore, white, to a cotton field and gave him a good switching without doing him serious harm, and drove him from the neighborhood. Moore formerly was a resident of Black Creek but now resides in the Spring Hope section, Nash county. For several years, he has been living with Melissa. Wilkins, a black woman, who formerly lived in Black Creek. He took her to her father's a few days ago where a dance was given and Moore and she were seen eating together. On Sunday morning, he was taken from her room. Defendan told him that it was not their purpose to violate the law but that they would not stand for "social equality." PEANUT AND CORN FED Dublin, Ga., Jan. 27.—M. N. O'Neal, a colored farmer living in Rentz, this county, has just killed four Poland China hogs whose combined weights amounted to 1,286 pounds, with an average age of 18 months. O'Neal has been raising hogs for sometime, and at the Oconee fair held in Dublin, won the first prize for the best display of homemade meat. His hogs weighing 270, 300, 313 and 400 pounds, respectively, were peanut and corn fed. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL "NEW ENGLAND TRADITION" From the Brooklyn, N. Y. Eagle Harvard stands by her Negro athletes, and will simply drop all iden of games of any sort with Southern colleges which try to draw the color line. This is in accordance with the traditions of the Crimson men, Harvard has held about the attitude of Andrew, Massachusetts' war Governor, who said: "I know not what record of sin awaites me in the other world, but I do know that I was never so mean as to despise any man because he was poor, because he was ignorant, or because he was black." THE WEEK'S WORST EDITORIAL From the Lynchburg, Va. News "THE KU KLUX, PAST AND PRESENT" The modern Ku Klux Klan has adopted a most unfortunate name—unfortunate, because of the memories it recalls and the significance which it once carried. In the days of reconstruction, the Ku Klux Klan performed a service of priceless and imperishable value to the South. Through methods rendered imperitatively necessary to save Southern civilization from the fate of an inconceivably frightful wreckage, it developed into an unconquerably defensive force and thus earned the deathless gratitude of our people. But a new era has since intervened—the causes leading to the Khan's organization and activities have long since disappeared; the South has passed far beyond the shadows; the perils which used to beset her path have been removed, and in very truth, peace, happiness, self-government are among her secure possessions. Nor has the South aught by way of apology to offer for the fact that during the immediate post-bellum period, her sons, at times, proceed extra the law or contrary to its mandates with a view of defeating and destroying the monstrous evils incident to the Republican scheme of reconstruction. Confronted with a similar provocation, they would doubtless employ the same weapons of defence. But "nevertheless bears saying that what was unlawfully done reluctantly, and that if the while the resolve was cherished in this section, that once the Southern states were truly liberated from the conditions which the Republican party sought to establish, would end the objectionable expedients to which their citizens had been absolutely forced to resort. Which position do you occupy in your church and its auxiliary organizations? An attender or an absenter? A pillar or a sleeper? A wing or a weight? A power or a problem? A promoter or a provoker?

A HOT SESSION OF THE "HOT STOVE LEAGUE" A HOT SESSION OF THE "HOT STOVE LEAGUE" Cracker Congressmen Object To The Northerners Saying Too Much About Disfranchise ment In The South (Congress having under consideration Representative Tinkham's (Mass.) bill to reduce the representation in Congress of those states which disfranchise voters.) CONGRESSMAN MASON (of Illinois) The question is one of apportionment, apportionment as provided for in the Constitution, which I propose to insert here, and that directs what we shall do under certain circumstances. Whether it amounts to discrimination against a black man or against a woman, there is a certain duty to perform. Let us not be afraid to vote our convictions; give us a chance. To rule this out of order would be a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, which we have sworn to support, and a very strained construction of the rules of the House. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to extend my remarks in the Record upon this subject. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Illinois asks unanimous consent to extend his remarks in the Record upon this question. Is there objection? Mr. MADDEN (of Illinois) Mr. Chairman, I make the same request. The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection. Mr. BEE (of Texas) Mr. Chairman, reserving the right to object, does the gentleman from Illinois (M.

Mr. ROMJUE (of Missouri) Mr. Chairman, I object. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Missouri objects. Mr. ROMJUE. Mr. Chairman. I withdraw the objection. Mr. LARSEN (of Georgia) Mr. Chairman, I object.

Do I understand the proposed extension on the part of the gentleman from Illinois (M. Madden) is to apply to the point of order or— Mr. MADDEN. My remarks would apply to the point of order and anything incident to the point of order. Mr. LARSEN. Mr. Chairman, I object. Congressional Record—Jan. 19, 1921. ONLY FOUR CABMEN LEFT IN WASHINGTON Aged Colored Drivers Relic Of Old Days Before Capital Got Rapid Transit "Cabbie, mister, Cabbie?" spoke an old colored man perched upon the box in front of his old-fashioned cab on McPherson square. "Will take you home, sah, fo' two hits, sah," he continued faintly. He was the only cabman to be seen anywhere. It was raining in torrents and taxi-cabs were being called by the dozens at a theatre nearby where a vast audience was dispersing. Bright head lights cast their glow in front of the Army and Navy Club in close proximity. Others whirred rapidly along cross streets. "Wanta cab, Colonel? This way," again spoke the old man from the gloomy corner of the square where he had apparently been awaiting a belated passenger for hours. No passenger came; none appeared to he in sight. This old cabman, with his high silk hat, his elaborate Prince Albert coat bedecked with smooth brass buttons, was one of the four that are left in Washington of days that antedate the automobile, prohibition and woman suffrage. OLD CABS ALL BUT EXTINCT The old cabriolet, the victoria and carryall, which once occupied conspicuous places along Pennsylvania avenue, have almost become extinct. Old photographs of the avenue show them standing in front of the hotels, and in groups in the centre of the historic thoroughfare where automobiles are now jammed from early morning until midnight. Until recent years the old colored cabmen were able to retain their space on the avenue at the southwest corner of Four- Page teenth street. As their numbers dwindled their reservation was encroached upon by taxicabs. Finally, death or infirmities of age had reduced their number to six, and they were shunted to a side street near the Treasury Building. A new Administration in Washington was accompanied by complaint about the cab stands in this vignette, and the police authorities, after looking about, for a place where they would be isolated, chose the west side of McPherson square. The number which went there is now reduced to four—just four remnants of the good old days in Washington when the Kentuckian boasted of his mint julep and bade you not to take his word alone for it; days that hark to a full sideboard where hospitality was not betokened by the owl board and gold tipped cigarettes. One of the old cabmen is "Uncle Sam" Brogden. He has been perched on his seat after sundown asking fares in Washington for fifty years. He says he was a waiter in a restaurant here when Lincoln was President and that the late President Cleveland once hailed him on a warm night and rode with him around Washington when the White House guards thought the President was in his room tolling over executive matters. Brogden still wears his high hat and long coat with a dignity that echoes back to days when Senators and Congressmen always called a cabbie to go to the Capitol rather than use a street car. In fact, the cabman in ante-bellum days was a necessary factum in Washington and a part of the life of the city. In the library of Congress are numerous cartoons in which the cab of by-gone days played a part. One represents President-elect Van Buren being drawn to the White House in a cab by President Jackson, while another represents Henry Clay racing to the Capitol with Calhoun, both in cans of the ante-bellum type, to debate on nullification. CURRENT AND OTHERWISE Dr. Henry M. Minton, of Philadelphia, is conducting the largest Negro tuberculosis clinic in the country. The term "largest" here simply calls attention to the fact that a young, progressive Negro physician has recognized the need for giving scientific consideration to the ravages the "White Plague" is working among the colored population in the several sections of the country. Tuberculosis is not a Negro disease. It is a Temperate Zone disease and finds its most healthy breeding places in the large cities of the Temperate Zone. The inclination of the Negro to rush to the large centers of population is one of the general expressions of present day American life. Everybody is doing it. The disinclination of Municipal governments to insist that "Black Belts" should be sane considered genuine factors in whatever is done to maintain decent—and therefore healthy—living conditions in the communities at large, is in destruct degree responsible for the terrific death rate, in the instance of tuberculosis, among city Negro people. Dr. Minton's effort is the more commendable because he has grabbed the situation by its very throat and has gone about the business of providing a cheek to the further spread of the dread disease among the colored people in the city of Philadelphia. His recognition of his real responsibilities as a physician must be hailed as a sure departure from the purely money-making doctor who is parading his brassy conceit in too any parts of the land. Responsibility is the most impressive presence in modern life. He who does not see this has small chance of permanent life. Dr. Minton is setting a fine example. May he live long and prosper, is my sincere wish. William Howard Taft is one of the outstanding figures in the life of the American people. Anything he has to say on questions of public moment must be given respectful consideration. He cannot afford to think shallow or to speak lightly. Therefore, it becomes those of us who are sincerely seeking the light which will enable us to see with clear eyes what we need to do to grow and live to carefully weigh what a man of Mr. Taft's position has to say on all questions affecting the public will. We must not do less than this no matter what the temptation to do otherwise. But nevertheless this distinguished American is somewhat too liberal with his stock of gratuitous advice. It is not advice we want, it is co-operation. We want these United States to stay on the map of the world as long as time may stay. We heartily wish to do our part in the making sure that this shall be the ultimate destiny of our native land with all its institutions preserved in full and unquestioned integrity. But everybody, including Mr. Taft, must co-operate—not advise—or else the whole bottom will fall out of the situation. The White Man's Burden A Story of Africa and the War as Predicted by Marcus Garvey By T. SHIRBYHODGE This is the Seventh Installment of "The White Man's Burden" JAN. 28, 1920. Ne: The W A Story of By This is the Seventh SYNOPSIS OF THE PRE- CEDING CHAPTERS Begin now on the most gripping serial you have ever read. In the Year of our Lord 2250, Negroes of the United States competed so hotly with the whites for the business of the country that mutual segregation was agreed to and the colored people were given a state in the South for themselves. Here they built up a strong government which after a while was powerful enough to defeat the United States in open warfare. Victory came to the black soldiers from the use of the new invention of artillery which used centrifugal force and required no explosive. As a result of the conflict the black people, former American Negroes demanded that the United States pay their transportation back to Africa, and 1,000 vessels were used for this purpose. In Africa the former black Americans set up a government, peace loving and orderly, which is nevertheless the most powerful in the world. A white man from America visited them called one of them "niggers." Finish the story and learn what happened to him. "You willfully misunderstand, I am afraid. No one suffered from privation, on the contrary, those who had been at the bottom, and were all the time housed in kennels and half starved, found themselves, of a good, provided with warmth and shelter, good clothing and good food. There has always been enough of the necessities of life in the world to make everyone comfortable, but they had a way of drifting into the possession of individuals, who refused to give them up expecting on their own conditions. You can see as you look at you, here, that we are all comfortably housed, well fed, decently clothed and educated. What more ought man to want?" "Some people enjoy luxuries." I remarked rather feebly. "They can have them," said my best, "I will show you our warehouses soon, and you will acknowledge I can sure, that every want can be supplied from them." "Where do all these things come from, that fill your warehouses?" You have no commerce, and with no government and no money in circulation, no one is obliged to work for a living. Who makes the things?" "This is one of the talicenses of the old order, the idea that no one will work unless he is compelled to by an overseer or master, or to satisfy his hungery procure himself shelter. There never was a greater mistake. Work is not a curse, but a blessing. The idle man is in misery. Few men are good company for themselves. They always seek distraction, and the desire to occupy mind and body is so irresistible that some of our cleverest men and women occupy their time mainly in devilish employment for others. Men have different tastes and choose the form of labor that suits their natural aptitudes. There is variety enough to produce all we want or need. At least after two thousand years and more, we still find it so." "But you surely have found that man naturally slom the disagreeable occupations, when there is no inducement like that of enhanced remuneration to entice them." "You beg the question: There are no disagreeable occupations with us. No man would select an occupation that was disagreeable to him. But many men, many minds. What is disagreeable to one man is not so to another. Personally, I detest grubbing in the garden, but my wife is enamored of it, and would hate to sit in the Camera, as I do, and watch, or make long journeys to foreign parts to spy out the land." "But such things as scavengers, for instance," I said, with some hesitation. "That never troubles us. We fertilize our own ground, and any disagreeable excess is easily disposed of by the route taken by your revolver" and he smiled benignly. "But what do you do with the criminals?" I asked again, not well satisfied with the previous answer to the question. "We have none. How can there be a criminal, when there is no man-made law to break?" There is no temptation to rob or murder or cheat, for everyone can procure anything he wants from the public stores." But you must have guarded and your people must kill each other sometimes. That is really the only crime, as you would call it, that we have amongst us. Once in a while a man will kill another, but such cases occur our seldom, for even in your society murders are generally caused by money. Those we have are due to sexual jealousy, and are very rare be- cause we worry early. Even among you, I believe, such murders were generally condoned. Was there not something called the unwritten law vogue in your time?” “Yes.” I replied, “it is true that murders for that use were often unpunished. “Junishment would not prevent them anyway, and we book upon those rare killings as purely personal matters, and not as affecting the community.” irritably filled, but when there is no waste, the increase is slow. Now and then to be sure, we find ourselves forced to occupy new territory, but we try to encoerce as little as may be upon hand already occupied, and spread ourselves in the wilderness. We can soon make any hand productive, and when there is no attempt to play the dog in the manger and accumulate unnecessary holdings, the requirements of a community are not large. Half and half of land is ample for a family of five, and that ample is nearly thousand in the square. "You mention early marriages as tending to prevent such crimes." "Yes. Our children mate early, and we consider it better so. They have no problem of subsistence before them, and we accept the principle that in this very important matter Nature is the best guide. We believe that the time of life when the sexes are drawn to ward each other by the strongest ties, when each idealizes the other, and they feel they cannot live apart, is the best time for them to come together in a life compact. This is usually between sixteen and twenty-five, and few wait as late as that. They are young and their natures are plastic, so that they easily and naturally accommodate themselves to each other's disgracefulness, and their lives readily merge into one current, which flows steadily and evenly for the remainder of their lives." "But the offspring of such young parents is apt to be weakly or worthless, is it not?" "By no means. We find that when the natural impulse to mate is most imperious, the best results follow. Why, one or your great men of antiquity, Napoleon, was the son of a mother of eighteen and a father of twenty-three. "Well, how about the children? Where are your schools, or do you think that education would be too much like discipline, like coercion" and I with a hone attempt to be sarcastic. "Absolute individual freedom is for those who can use it, without abusing it—that is, for adults. Up to a certain age, children are savages. You know that. They have to be treated as such and trained at first by the compulsion of physical force, gradually diminishing and differing in the method of application as they grow older. Practically every child has to pass again through the same discipline that the race did, and by virtually the same stages." "And your schools?" "We have none. Our children are educated at home. Of course we recognize the fact that some men and women are naturally fitted by inclination and ability to be teachers of the young and such are usually willing to aid in the instruction of their neighbors. In this way a single man or woman may have five or six children besides her own to whom she imparts instruction during a part of the day, but it is the rule that parents teach their own children." "Suppose a young couple wish to mate. How do they find a home?" "If none is vacant, they live with parents or friends, wherever there may be room for them, until a house is ready. They add nothing to the work of the household but gather assist and of course there is no expense. But there is usually some house they can take. Houses are going up all the time. The masons and carpenters must keep busy, or they die of emu. There is a house in process or erection that we have just passed." "Yes, I noticed it. By the way, I saw last night there were no doors or windows in your house. How do you keep warm on cool nights, and how do you insure privacy?" "We have arrangements for closing the doors and windows when necessary. Just at this season we are more comfortable without them. As to privacy we use screens mostly. No one follows another behind a screen without permission to do so." "And heating? You must find artificial heat necessary at certain times in the year." "Yes. Our heating apparatus is beneath the house, the walls of which are hollow, so that the air, which has been warmed by radiator, keeps the walls and floors comfortable in any weather. The heat is produced by the electric current and of course produced with little waste." "And you raise most of your household supplies on your own premises?" "On, no not all. We all have our gardens and raise a good deal of food in that way. Some have poultry, for we use many eggs. Our milk which is a staple food with us, especially for the children, is goat's milk. We raise no cattle, for we prefer the milk of the goat, and cattle are dirty in their habit, and more difficult to care for, and the coarse red meat is distasteful even to those who are meat cafers. Sheep are bred for wool and mutton, and our grains are wheat and corn." "But if you are so prosperous as you appear to be, and never troubled by poverty or lack of food and shelter, I should suppose, your population would increase so rapidly that by this time, several thousand years you say, the country would be overcrowded." "It might seem so, but such is not the case. Our families are not large. Nature, somehow, attends to that.

Hake an ane of land is simple for a family of five, and that accommodates six thousand to the square mile, or 60,000,000 in a territory 100 miles square. "More. I suppose, in the cities?" I inquired. "We have no cities. At the time we abandoned the old form of civilization, we found ourselves burdened with all the vices and inconveniences of that civilization. But when living became easy under the new conditions, people began to remove from the crowded places into the open country and the cities gradually became 'depopulated and were finally torn up by the roots, so to speak, and utterly eradicated. Of the material used in their construction could be utilized elsewhere, and what could not, was destroyed, and the city sites turned into cultivable land." "But about your population, do you make any attempt towards scientific breeding, the scientific mating of the young people." Here he came nearer laughing outright than I had ever seen him, but controlled himself, as he answered: "No indeed. Nature is the best manger of bloods. Under our conditions of life, we find that the indelible instincts which draw two together in indissoluble bonds are almost unerring. No intermedding of ours could improve on the work of Nature."

Steiner, white, librarian of Enoch Pratt Library. According to Dr. Steiner, the city's large colored population is partly responsible for keeping Baltimore from rank as a book loving city. The city has such miserable library "Baltimoreans don't read books. The city has such miserable library facilities," said one person. Inquiries for books either for recreation reading or for research work, find in many cases that the volume is out or has not been purchased for the shelves. "Librarians in New York, Philadelphia and Boston and other big cities are works of art" declared another, undoubtedly having in mind the famous Holy Grail paintings in the Boston library. "No person would dare go to Boston without seeing the wonderful library" said another. While in Baltimore, we usually keep visitors away so that they will not see just what poor library facilities we have. PARIS RECOVERING FROM WAR ILLS Rev. Stewart Home From Abroad Finds All Effects Of Bombardment Erased Paris is gay and her hotels are crowded" according to Rev. C. E. Stewart who returned recently from his tour of the old world. "The builders have erased nearly all the shell holes made by the "big bertha" and the battle fields are rapidly losing their identities as fields of blood and carnage. This old city where Napolean, and Josephine, Victoria and Antionette, have walked, and where Prussian soldiers and Revolutionists have met in wreaking vengeance, is again trying to become herself in fashion and promenade and opera and supper. "Recently I visited the haunts of Versailles where the local folks tell willingly of the doings of the Peace Council. I went to the Palace, the room where the treaty was signed, wrote from the same table, sat in the same chair as President Wilson, sat and thought of what it all meant. 1139 In this same palace in the early Fire 1770s, Benjamin Franklin signed a the treaty for the Thirteen colonies which acknowledged their Independence.

Pays Tribute to Colored Teachers Dr. Arthur Dean Of Cambridge Delcares Miss Maria Baldwin The Best He Ever Had A fairly good audience attended the first of a series of talks by educational experts, who are making a survey of the city schools, at St. Mary's Hall last Thursday afternoon. Dr. Arthur Dean formerly of Cambridge, Mass., and a vocational expert of Columbia University in New York was the speaker. In the course of his remarks Dr. Dean paid a high tribute to Miss Maria Baldwin a colored teacher in the Cambridge schools, whom he declare to be the best he ever had. Miss Baldwin, he said was a teacher there but is now a supervisor in the Cambridge schools. Dr. Dean declared that the only vocational work in the city schools at present in the carpentry typewriting and domestic science courses and urged an "opportunity school" where trades of all kinds could be taught to old and young. Superintendent West declared that the meetings were open to the public and urged the parents to take advantage of the opportunity to find out what is the condition of their school system. The second meeting will be held next month.

C., in 1906. Work overwhelmed him there, and he became blind from his labors. He gave up the business to have his eyes trenanted, and later went to Washington as the manager for the District of Columbia office of a Richmond insurance company. Five years ago he came to Baltimore and embarked into the business of manufacturing hair preparations. This venture has steadily grown. If New York authorities can declare that the Ku Klux will not be tolerated there, Baltimore should take similar action according to Mrs. Howard Young, who asked the Mayor's office this week to look into local activities of the Klan. When asked to what he attributed his business success in Baltimore, Mr. Bishop said: "A generous use of printer's ink in letting the public know what I have." Mrs. Young represents a strong organization of Womens Suffrage Club, and made a similar appeal Thursday before the white Civic League. Indeed, Mr. Bishop is one of the heaviest advertisers among colored business folks in Baltimore, and that has made his name and venture widely known. He is a member of Meridian Lodge of Masons and Columbia Lodge of Elks, both located in Washington. An old subscriber writing from Ohio states that he found a bill for "subscription from 1910 to 1912, and sends in $3 and asks pardon for his long delay. AUTOS COLLIDE "Please pardon this woofel negligence" he writes, and pray that an old sinner and reader may begin the New Year right."

There are only about twenty colored men enrolled, however. They, along with a few whites, are grouped together for academic work. Colored and white attend the same trade classes. "I intend to take everything Uncle Sam offers for my advancement." one of the colored students told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN. "I am only sorry that more of our boys do not take advantage of the splendid opportunities offered us ex-soldiers." Noted Speakers For Banquet R. R. Moton, M.
