THEAFRO KLAN THREATENS TWO LOST! ONE POT OF GOLD MAYORS, JUDGES, STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS, BANKERS, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, EDITORS AND MINISTERS INDORSE THE FAMOUS HERBS OF LIFE. It is seldom, indeed, that men of prominence, especially men holding high public offices, willingly express their indebtedness publicly to the proprietary medicine. Many prominent men, however, including Supreme Court Judges. Mayors of leading cities, prominent State and county officials, bankers, lawyers, doctors, editors, leading educators, Government officials, and even ministers of the gospel come forward and tell people what Herbs Of Life has done for them. what Herbs Of Life have recognized in this medicine a new discovery and a scientific triumph in the medical world. It is a well-known fact that these splendid indurments have been given Herbs Of Life time and again, and they will continue to be given just as often as new tests of its powers are made.

The number of Republicans in Florida is so small that they have practically no influence in local elections. Any Democrat invited in the primaries is virtually assured of election. For this reason, white and colored Republicans in fairly large numbers resolved this year to register as Democrats, so as to wield some influence in the selection of city officials. Will Use Arms On this question, the Post declared last week. "If the Republicans of this city and county believe for one percent Americans of this city and county will stand for the Negro being brought back into politics anywhere in the South, then they have and they might just as well hold in the night, as it is reported the Arabs once did." This is white man's city, county, state and nation, and no big black Negro will ever hold the reins of government in this country so long as so many million hearts beat as they do so many good right companies of grassing a rile or revolver. "No, Mr. Nigger, you will not be allowed to hold a political office that will place you on an equality with a white man or woman in this section of the globe, and we believe that you are wise in not breeding the siren's voice. You know the siren's voice was organised and the 40 miles of land. Did you get it?" No, you did not, and will not get what you are being promised now, for your friends can not deliver the goods. Voting Is Social Equality "Negroes may ride in Miami at the present time, the local and in certain local churches they may occupy seats inside the same building with certain whites, but persons who will sit beside a Negro on a street car, or allow a Negro to sit beside them, or attend the same church, or equals of the Negro, or not less. Such persons, besides them, are superior by blood or race to the Negro, and those kind of people would consider it honor for one of their race to marry some big, black, well-dressed, wealthy Negro fz "The majority of the people in Dade county are opposed to the re-entry of the Negro into the Negro's social area. There is no reason that the Negro should not be given square deal, so long as they know their place and stay in it. The Negro is entitled to fair treatment at all times."

Smitherman's newspaper office was destroyed in the Tulsa riot and he recently returned here after a lecture in the North. While sleeping at the Red Wing Hotel, two masked men, claiming themselves police, forced an entrance, carried him outside of town, where he was tied to a tree and lashed. In the house they must have lashed me for forty minutes during which time none of them said a word. Finally one of the thugs said: "NIGGER, YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, EH, and getting all of the other niggers and carrying them on the democratic ticket, eh? they are going to make a democrat out of you tonight," he shouted and started whipping me again. "An elderly man in the bunch objected to further whipping on the objects that I should not be killed. He said that he wanted to be long enough to get to Tulsa and on other niggers what had happened to me. The shortest one of the bunch called to one of the gang who had a flashlight to hold up so he could with the light on, he deliberately cut two-thirds of my body and then STARTED POICKING ME TO EAT THE BODY FLESH OF MY BODY." "Again the elderly man objected, I was then released and ordered to leave Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma. I was so weakened from the bearing and the brutal treatment that I fell down and reclaimed there for a long time until I had recovered the strength. At last I belonged to the residence of a colored family who immediately took me in and cared for my wounds and gave me a bed." News of Smitherman's capture by masked men alarmed the colored section and several auto loads of armed men secured the country for the masked party. U. S.

C., March 22.—The United States does not have the right to continue military occupation of Haiti and San Dominique—dear Col. George K. Shannon, chief of the insular police of Puerto Rico, in an interview yesterday. Shannon, who has been chief of the Puerto Rico insular police for thirteen years, was an intimate friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and was the organizer of the Cuban consularity after the Spanish-American War. At the request of Mr. Roosevelt he "called us" Vanessa, prior to building of the Favors Withdrawal Following a conference with Cabinet members and high officials of the State and Navy departments, Col. Shannon expressed the opinion that all American troops would be withdrawn from the dual public within the next six months. "This depends, however, upon the effort of the Dominicans to organize and to island government, which has arraised so much interest in the attitude of the United States toward Latin - American countries, Col. Shannon said: "We were asked by the respective governments to go into San Domingo and Haiti to collect duties and pay a national debt. That job is finished, but we are staying to police the island. This is clearly beyond our tightness, our ability to design troops to do this. We are keeping our Marines there against the expressed wish of the people." Charges of atrocities by American troops in the island have caused widespread criticism in South American papers and in the United States. Many Reprisals Col. Shannon, who has made a personal investigation of conditions in the island, states that while stories of atrocities are aggravated, Papua New Guinea's troops committed outrages against the indigenous. "In this connection it should be remembered," said Col. Shannon, "that the so-called atrocities are practically always in relation to wrongs done by the natives. The greatest factor in aggravating matters is inability of the troops to speak the native language. In the majority of cases the injustice arises from inability to understand each other, even in the islands for twenty-four years, that the people are naturally gracious, kind and liberty-loving. They are however costly stirred by evangelical leaders." Speaking of the natural resources of the island, Col. Shannon said that capital is the one be need for developing these. Proper diversification of large investments will eliminate the criticism that has attached to American development in Haiti, he said. San Dapozo and Haiti, Col. Shannon declared, can produce as much sugar as Cuba if order can be maintained. Wishes to thank his patrons through this excellent paper for attaching their first dance, the Saint Patrick Subscription Dance, March 17, 1922. Many, many, many, many, help by many, the Paramount Social Club's first appearance a success. Trusting in the future your enjoyment will be greater.

And A Mirth Provoking Christie Comedy, "ROLLING STONES" Back in a remote corner of the brain of Beet Williams, musical comedy star, there hurked for years a suspicion that once he drew his last will and testament death would come full sage ahead. Three weeks ago he, called his attorney and drew the will which has just been offered for probate. He said he was in charge. Those of us, who walks miles to avoid crossing the path of a black cat, or who go hungry rather than be the thirteenth at a well-laden table, or who walk cautiously round, rather than under, a ladder will say, "I told you so." Psychologists may agree that the old superstition had something to do with Bert Williams' death, not that he died because some inexplicable law of fate decreps that will never be broken, this the ladder did but that death may have been hastened by his mental fear that the superstition was truth, which weakened him in his fight against illness. A Coincidence The signing of the will, of course, had no more to do with Williams' death that the signing of his theatrical contract. It was a coincidence—just as was the origin of the superstition itself, which specialists in the arts have described as the provinces of old France, where a prominent citizen chance to die two days after he had made his will. But Williams' death in the light of his strange superstition has only served to stimulate the many other superstitions of the stage. They are legion.

This, perhaps, is the greatest breach of stageland's superstitious etiquette. Many a star, or even a chorus girl, will tell you that to whistle within a dressing room or near a dressing room or stage door means that the person nearest the door will meet with calamity. You may hum or yodle or bark or turn handsprings to indicate joy, but you cannot be a black or tall-laden, nuttily ladder. No Monopoly On Them. But stagefool have no monopoly on superstition. It can be found in the rank and file of humanity right down the line. Very few of us are free from it altogether. It has been said that superstition is based on ignorance. Various teas have dispoised this. The faculty of Harvard University could hardly be classed as ignorant. You a questionnaire submitted to the professors brought out the than 15 percent of certain definite superstitions, and almost 50 per cent, admitted a "partial" belief in weird signs and omens. The same sort of a poll of the students of the University of California brought out the fact that of 7,176 answers, 4,14 per cent were from the company and 130 of them in the theory that thirteen is and unlucky number, 118 in the tale that if a knife is dropped company is coming to a house, 98 in the old rhyme, "See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good Lincoln Theatre The Big Feature Week.

Kansas City Judge Refuses White Man Writ To Manage Her Oil Estates Practise of young white men growing rich by managing the oil estates of wealthy colored women was given a blow in the Probate Court Tuesday. Judge Gulmott refused to grant an application for the appointment of guardian for his research Rector, aged 20, who owns a million-dollar fortune in Oklahoma oil lands. Two applications were filed, one by John Collins, colored, an uncle of Miss Rector, asking that Monte Simpson, white, be appointed a guardian, and another by he be Parker, white, asking that he be appointed the estate. The applications charged that because of her age, Miss Rector was incompetent to handle the large income from her fortune, Judge Gulmint ruled that Miss Rector was of legal age and capable of administering her own estate.

DeMILLE'S PRODUCTION The Affairs of Anatol' With an all Star Cast Of NEW YORK ARE WE READY FOR SERIOUS DRAMA? Attitude Of Theatre Public Seems To Regard Everything As Comedy Behind Footlights RACE DRAMAS ESSENTIAL Negroes Cannot Take Their Place Among Place Among Other People's Without Own Plays BY WILLIAM E. READY quite a number of the colored theatre-going public of this city have expressed disappointment that the installment of serious drama at the Doughties Theatre was able to entertain for only four weeks and at that, under "stimulants"—the general public failing to In this connection, the question is again raised as to why there seems to be only a handful of colored people in any city, no matter what the city's population in New York City, it will be recolored, a similar venture finally "blew up"—who seem to fully appreciate this class of entertainment. And when I say appreciate, I do not mean the mere act of attending such performances, but also that higher appreciation, which enables them to attain that attitude of receptivity towards the mood as projected by the players. What is meant by this latter paragraph is, that one of the most deplorable drawbacks that the colored actor of serious roles has to face, is the tendency on the part of the majority of those who are dramatic actors by colored actors to burst into laughter at the austere and moving moments of the play. Charles Gilpin, the famous star of "The Emperor Jones" is reported to have complained bitterly of this sort of behavior by some of those who witnessed his portrayal in the latter drama. Some attribute this sort of thoughtlessness to ignorance, usually meaning illiteracy. But this is not the case, for persons we have seen some offend in this way, who are supposed to be of the more intelligent group around us. As To The Type Of Plays Getting back to the Doughlass situation: The comment has been numerously advanced that the management made a mistake in opening the house with "Within the Law" a play which not only had been shown here a number of times in the white theatres, but also likewise been presented by the Lafayette Players during a short sojourn of that aggregation at the Playhouse on Eutaw street, known at that time as the Colonial Theater. This comment seems to be sound, other comment is, that colored people are no interested in seeing which deal wholly with types of life peculiar to the civic and economic life of white people, which for reason well-known to all of us—differ materially in many respects from that of colored people. Here again the argument seems to be sound. The Negro Drama What then, is the answer? It is not, in our judgment, hard to find; our colored writers must turn their attention to the stage and give us dramas which deal with the everyday life of our own people, with all of those economic, civic and social gradations peculiar to our own social environments. This is a field in which we practically unmotivated by our writers, and yet it is one of the most essential links in the chain of the upward advance of the race. Every civilized people today have their own writings, and little theatres where the native dramatists serve their impertinence before setting all on the great sea of universal literature with an equal chance of finally anchoring in the harbor of enduring literary fame. All Not Comedy But even this trauma will not be a success, the majority of theatre-goers, realize that everything that transpires behind the footlights is not done to provoke laughter; that there is such a thing as seriousness in life, and that the actor is exercising the highest theatrical art when he gives to his portraitual of a serious role those touches of genius that ties the deepest wells of emotion and invests the whole, with the reality of life itself, even though it gries until it hurts. When the average theatre-goer reaches this stage of appreciation for the true worth of what the theatre means the way will be clear for a Negro theatre, which is not only desirable but an absolute place, are to take our views in all things along side the other unlightened peoples of the world.

A QUESTION What do you think of the Ku Klux Klan using aeroplanes to distribute their literature? Mr. Ward Akers, 128 Pennsylvania avenue, boothack—I don't believe they mean anything by that. They are after the Jews more than our race. Thomas Whitman, Annapolis Road, laborer—They are only trying to frighten the people, but they had better stay in the air or out of sight. Mr. Henry A. Alexander, York Road, housemate—They don't seem to harm us than they do to whites. But at that they should be broken up, and they will be if they ever start here, and the law won't have to help. Mr. John Bohn, North avenue chauffeur—It is only noted that they had better stay in the air. Mr. Earl Jackson, 1823 Charles street, chauffeur—They might think their aeroplanes and biomechanical frighten us, but they will simply stay in if they ever start. They ride in autos through the city, but they better not stop. SENATOR FRANCE THANKS THE AFRO Commends Spirit Which Prompted Editorial "Stick To Senator France" To the Editor: I cannot tell you how deeply I appreciate the editorial "Stick To Senator France" which recently appeared in your paper. I have not hesitated to oppose the Four-Power Treaty as it has seemed to be. The policy was in alliance which it is now practically admitted to be, if it is anything, and as it is not in harmony with the international policy outlined by Washington. He agreed that we cultivate friendship and harmony with all nations and show favoritism to no special one, since this would lead to international --- I am most grateful indeed for your words of commendation and for the spirit of friendship and loyalty which prompted this editorial, and I wish to thank you personally and the many readers of your paper for your spirited support and unwavering loyalty. You have always manifested love for me. JOSEPH L. FRANCE United State Senate Washington, D.C. SENATOR FRANCE'S LIBERIAN COMMISSION IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES MARCH 16, 1922, MR.

JUDGE A CONJURER So Thinks Walter Keys After Short Session of Southern Police Court "Walter Keys" bawled the bailiff in the sheriff Police station Monday. A medium-sized dark fellow was ushered up the bar. "I saw you in a dream last night," began Judge McAllister to the frightened prisoner. "You were arrested or stealing coal from the Fence of Prison." said Keys. "how did you know it." Judge. "Then I had another dream," continued the Magistrate, "in which I sentenced you to the House of Correction for a year." "Whew." exploded Keys, "that dream is all wrong." "Well, thirty days, anyway," declared the judge, dismissing the prisoner and backlogging for the next week.

WOMAN MUST TELL SECRET OF MARRIED LIFE Lips of Mrs. Nellie Smith, Sealed Five Months, Must Open Before Criminal Court Jury SHOT SLEEPING HUSBAND ```markdown ``` The lips of Mrs. Nellie Smith, sealed since last October, when she shot and killed her husband while he lay assault beside her on the bed, must open next week, and tell the world the secrets of her married life. Since October 13, 1521, when post office authorities sent up to the Smith's rooms at 1729 Metullih street to find out why Jerome Smith had failed to report for work as usual, only to find him a corpse, and to report her murder his death. He had been dead for twenty hours when discovered. Detectives claim that Mrs. Smith confessed to shooting her husband through the head with his own revolver, and that the shooting followed a quarrel in which he had violated his own home for another young woman who had entered his life. She was captured at Queenstown Md., whilst she had tried to be parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Conver The Grand jury held Mrs. Smith for first degree murder and the case was set before Judge Amber for last Wednesday. On account of death in the family of the defendant's attorney, the case will not be called again until next week. BALTO. "Y" WRITES UP 380. WASH. 343 Wins First Leg On Cup. Harry T. Pratt's Division Leading. W. H. Langley's Group Leading. The inference membership campaign between the Droid Hill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the 12th Street Branch of the "Y" in Washington has created an unusual community interest in the league, but the organization of the two branches did not get under way for three days. The local "Y" groups under the leadership of Dr. E. M. Rheta, made a great rally on the 12th at the bong-in, with 120 men and boys enrolled, Friday night, March 17th, the count showed that the Baltimore "Y" was leading by 27, and thus winning the first leg on the cup. Washington's rally the last day could not overcome the lead of Earl Much interest centered in beating Washington, but the main objective in the mind of the members of the brunch committee was increased memberships and finances. The intercity idea that the committee agreed to by which they hoped to accomplish the end sought. Both branches are hoping to round up 500 new members. The report Wednesday night: of this week showed that Baltimore was still leading by a small margin. Baltimore has the advantage and if Baltimore is ahead Friday night, the campaign is over and the cup contains in Baltimore for two pounds. If Baltimore wins Friday night, the campaign will end Monday night, and which ever branch is leading wins. The Douglass division headed by Mr. Samuel Hurton and group leaders, W. H. Lanchey, Chas. Tolson, Desmond Lynch, C. A. Robinson, and W. A. Jones is set for the final dash that means victory, not withstanding the fact that the Booker T. Wasserman and group leaders, Dr. T. S. Hawkward, Bea. Brown, Jas. F. Hill and headed by Prof. Harry T. Pratt, Lawyer MeeMechen. Carl Murhyn, W. S. Emerson, Rev. W. W. Walker are leading Thos. H. Smith, Walter Webb and determined to hold their own to the end. Col. Young's division headed by Dr. H. S. McCard and group leaders, Dr. T. S. Hawling, Prof. Jas. N. Hill, Lawyer MeeMechen and Wm. H. White keeps up the fight and promises trouble before the campaign is over. The entire organization met at the "F" Wednesday night of this week at a smoker, at which time chairman Rheta checked up stock and outlined the task just ahead of us. One word came home wolf and sail and Washington will win now. The mere thought injected of losing brought an outburst of "pop." To a man the cry was "I CAN'T BE DONE," "LET'S GO" was the last word of the chairman, and "let's go" will win. FISH FISH FISH Eat more Fish. The Healthy food Strictly fresh. Cleaned while you wait.

Citizens Committee Asks Aid Of Association In, Bringing Feld-enhemer To Justice Aid of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Objected People has been asked by the Citizens Committee in order to secure a rt-opening of the Shoer case. Harry Feldheimer, white, accused of assulting little 12-year-old Esther Short, had his case settled in Criminal Court by having his attorneys may over to the father of the 12el $500. The case aroused a deal of public interest several weeks ago. Carl Doleer, white, 24 years old, 825 Warner street, who was given a hearing last Tuesday before Magistrate Supplece, of the United States Police Court, on a charge of sending an indecent letter through mail to Miss Rasha Meredith, 18 years old, 1121 Warner street, on March 11th, was found not guilty. The Citizens Committee claims that the case, while settled, can be opened if the proper representations are made to State's Attorney Leach by the Association. Rev. Moorhouse H. Davis, president of the local chapter, said today the committee must take the request of the committee under advisement and secure legal advice before making any reply. After having Deger write several sentences the Magistrate compared them with the letter written to the girl and said.

History Day By Day Friday March 24—As early as 2,500 years before the birth of Christ the Apostle, appeared to have had considerable civilization. Saturday, March 25 — Alexander James, born at Jerome, Haiti, 1762; the 1756 commander in the French army. Saturday, March 26 — Joseph Boulogne, known as he Chevalier de Saint-George, honored by France 177 years after his birth. He won a musician, a violinist. Saturday, March 27 — Osher P. Anderson, a New York Negro is a member of the Leinin-Trotsky Revolutionary Government Cabinet in Tuesday, March 28 — A Negro editor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday. This was the first time in the history of the house that it had been addressed. March 29 — Federal authorities discover that pennage is being practiced extensively in Georgia, and is also common in Miss. LA, and Thursday, March 30. The 14th amendment of the Constitution, granting equal suffrage to all citizens regardless of race or color, ratified 1850. The easiest way to get a one chamber City Council is to abolish the Second Branch. Nothing is more unsatisfactory than a law suit, and nothing more expensive. The action of the Masons and Naziries in setting their interval affairs outside of court is an evidence of progress. The only difference between white cannibals and black cannibals, as that one burns its victims to eat and other burns its victims for sport. At any rate President Harding has returned from the South this time without making any Birthright speech. A local actor jumped out of a second story window without injuring himself. About the same time Perry Diggs down in Georgia fell on a three-foot stone stair and broke his neck. Its not the falling but the binding that counts. Two white reporters of the Savannah, Georgia News started this week for a two thousand mile trip to visit an island said to be inhabited by cannibals in the Gulf of Lower California. Gosh, they might have taken on auto ride of a few hundred miles to Kite Georgia, last Sunday and see several hundred white cannibals born a colored man at the stake. Maybe the Ku Klux Klan has greater influence with the Canadian authorities than the United States Government, and can therefore promise to bring back Matt Bullock to North Carolina for trial. In some parts of the United States the Klan appears to have more power than the state and Federal authorities, judging by the whippings and lynchings going on from week to week. If the School Board has not enough money to put a pipe organ in the new Colored High School, perhaps philanthropic persons can be found privately to put such an instrument in the auditorium of the building. Unless all signs fail the new building is to be used largely by the community. In order to develop wint Dean Frederick L. Erickson, white, of the state chapter American Guild of Organists recently called the only original music in America, the local schools should provide all necessary equipment. The Negro's Color Line In the South, writes Y. Andrew Robertson in Leslie's Magazine of last week, the Negro has his own color lines, and the black, brown and yellow classes do not mix socially. Commenting on this he adds, "I have known a New Orleans Creole father to throw a fit, when one of his daughters made known his desire to wed a black man, who had been her classmate in college." To Mr. Robertson, large numbers of colored people in the South ap- pear to wish to produce lighter offspring by marrying persons lighter in color than themselves. He therefore feels that "it cannot be said a man is proud of his race, when he is constantly trying to change the physical characteristics that indicate it." Every intelligent Negro in the United States who knows how black men built the pyramids and the Sphinx, invented the use of numbers, taught arthropathy while other races were in ignorance, raised wealth and highly cultured civilizations in Africa, and everywhere measured up to human standards when given a chance, . . . is proud of black man. At the same time he would be a fool not to realize that the color of his skin is a handicap, which he could well dispense with, without in anyway affecting his moral or spiritual qualities or his intelligence. When oneday some Madam Walker arises with formula capable of turning a black skin white without injurious after effects, the United States will wake up to find itself a country absolutely without a color-line, without the ability to segregate, jimrow or distractise. A Matter Of Time Abraham Lincoln declared that no man is good enough to govern another without the latter's consent. The race to which Mr. Lincoln belonged, the white race, has changed the idea of the axiom to read: "We are good enough to rule all other races as long as we are the stronger" As the best evidence of this we see a handful of English rule India, and a few millions of Europeans exploiting Africa, nevertheless indications are becoming most from our source that eventually the world is to see a free India and the free Africa just as surely as it now becomes a free Ireland and a free Egypt European nations, with the exception of France, are delaying this day as long as possible by two methods:—first, by withholding common schools to natives and second, by putting a ban on the native use of firearms. This latter is the more significant. The New York Times accounts of the proceedings of A. Pence Conference, show that Europeans protested against French use of native African troops on the ground that an African skilled in the use of modern weapons would drive Europe off the continent. Lagos, British West African colored newspapers reported recently that leopards were terrifying natives in nearby villages by nightly raids upon their cattle. These arrivals were reported to be so bold because the natives are without firearms. Under the law of the colony no black man may have on his person or in his home either guns or ammunition. In British East Africa last Wednesday a few police killed 20 natives and wounded 30 in putting down a riot of strikes. The natives were armed with sticks and stones, the police with machine guns and magazine rifles. The great powers have resolved not to outlaw poison gas in future warfare, because it may be needed against Assaties and Africans. Manifestly a black man with a musket or a brown man with a machine gun will be better able to demand self-government than the present disorganized and ignorant masses armed with sticks and stones. Egypt and Ireland have shown the way, which India and British African possession will find in time. Perhaps not in this country, but none the less eventually. Statae Aid for Victory Hospital The request of Frank Kelly, local white Democrat, that Governor Ritchie ask the State Legislature for an annual appropriation of $8.000 for the new Victory Hospital does not come altogether as a surprise. It was understood that when provident Hospital took over the Union Protestant Infirmary site, the city and the state authorities would be asked to make an allowance for free beds on the basis varying from $1.54 to $1.76 per capita per hospital day. In this way the hospital would be in the position to provide beds for free patients both from the city and the counties. Already under this arrangement governor Ritchie has asked the BISHOP BROOKS COMING HOME PROBABLY TO RAISE MONEY BY BISHIP SAMPSON BROOK Monrovia, Liberia, Feb. 1 (Ivy Mail) While thousands of workingmen were busily engaged on Crown Hill erecting our mammoth school, building—the Monrovia College and scores of half-haked men, women, and children waited with us day after day and looked with wistful eyes over the sea, to see the ship that was coming to the AFRO.

Deprivation, superstition, horrific cases of barbarity, savage torturing, eating of human flesh, and murder of innocent victims is still the habit of life of the poor black man. If our people in America could visit here one day I am certain that hundreds of school-houses would be built. The work of our school that we are erecting has been going on since June. This blistering, killing, hot blood, and cruelty enough to cook an egg on the roots—it has hindered but not discouraged, nor turned us aside from the original program we had in mind when we came. Our College builds a building that we wonder to the natives. Many ask. What is it for? What can be the motive of our coming to build such a building?

If the humble Nazarene appeared among the African-American castes system, he would be speedily lynched as he was in Palestine. Tells of Early Churches Dr. Woodson's book takes up the history of the African-American Negro slaves in America as far back as 1695 when white people expressed serious doubt as to whether or not Negro slaves had a social right therefore to be Christians. Light is thrown upon early pioneer colored preachers like Josiah Bishop, who helped develop the first Baptist church in Baltimore. Richard Allen, founder of the Church, assisted by Daniel Coker and Steven Hall, both laymen of Baltimore. Early beginnings of the M. E. Church and the A. M. E. Zion church are also sketched in this Among the ministers of the present day Dr. Woodson pays high tribute to are Rev. Hauck, courtney counselor, Dr. Pezvalo O'Connell, of Morgan College, Bishop | John Hurst and Bishop W. S. Simpson Brooks, of today are of a higher type than formerly. There has developed a feeling, politics is an unclean sphere, which ministers should not enter. Besides they are too busy talking other more Import- Women Support Church Statistics quoted by Dr. Woodson show that women largely support colored churches.

Whitworth was appointed fireman custodian force, Tharence M. Diggs, Thomas Spencer, Chas. H. Smith, John Chapman, Leon Kess, Ben Bent, transferred from the warehouse department to fill the vacancies made in the custodian service by the transfer of the above named laborers. All of these positions are in civil service and come under the supervision of the Collector. they are merely transfers, and are made under the direction of Collector of Customs Chas. Holzman. Mr. Tate is collector of internal revenue and his motive is to transfer other than those concerning his own department. These are only minor positions and poorly paid ones at that. These positions are available to colored men or women in the custom service be they ever so intelligent. There are two colored men in the service, one filling some of the highest positions in the service, yet one of them is placed in one of the most undesirable positions, the other fills a higher position. The $20 bonus mentioned is nothing more than that which was added to the salary during the war, and only makes the salary received by these men barely sufficient to exist on. All the colored men appointed by Mr. Tatt have been published before, namely Messrs. Watty, Waskin, Day, Tydlings and Clerics. An interview with some of the civil service employees will gain you more facts than you are likely to get from these petty politicians. ONE WHO KNOWS.

FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1922 BRYANT SHUTS DOOR IN BISHOP'S FACE Head of A. M. E. Sunday School Union Holds Job In Spite of Request For Resignation NASHVILLE PASTOR HERE Predicts High Church Honors for Rev. A. L. Gaines And Rev. C. Tanner In spite of the request of the Bishop's Council that Ira T. Bryant, head of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, of Nashville, Tennessee, resign, he is still holding that post. This is the word brought to the A. M. E. Teachers' Meeting last Monday morning by Rez. J. Acton Hill, pastor of an A. M. E. Church in Nashville. According to Rev. Hill Mr. Bryant not only refused to resign, but slammed the door in the face of Bishop C. S. Smith when the latter attempted to enter the Sunday School Union recently. According to the decree of the the Bishops' Council, Bishop J. S. Flipper resigned as president of the Union and Bishop Chappelle was appointed in his place. Mr. Bryant who is secretary of the Union refused to recognize the appointment of Bishop Chappelle, during it to be illegal under the charter. Instead he appointed a layman to the Sunday School Board which now consists of four ministers and four laymen. It was told in a recent issue of the AFRO - AMERICAN that this Board after a meeting declared itself fully satisfied with the services of Mr. Bryant. Rev. Hill predicted that the next Council would elect Rev. A. Caines to the bishopric and Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of Washington, a mission secretary.

TRUANT SCHOOL BOYS NEED CLOTHING BADLY Youngsters At Catonsville Institution Neglected By Their Parents Unless the public will take an active interest in the pupils of the new Trunt School at Catonsville, the health of a number of bright youngsters will be permanently impaired. Children are being sent to the school, Catonsville, where they receive board, lodging and instruction at the expense of the city, but no clothing. Parents are expected to cloth their own children. In actual practice it turns out that the neglect of the parent, which causes a child to be sent to the Trunt School, is also the follows are without shoes, stockings, underclothing and top clothing. On one of the roughest days of the winter a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN saw pupils of the school with their bare feet sticking thru them in clothing three walking around in clothing three up for them. Hawthorne Smith, principal of the school, declared yesterday, he had received many promises of aid from individuals, which so far had not materially "Some of the parents of these children visit them regularly," he said, "others have been here not at all. These last are the ones that suffer. I have given away my own clothing to some of these little fellows, but lots more is needed yet. A. M. E. CONFLICT MAY M Pastors Of Allen And Washington, Have A.

Tanner at Metropolitan, Washington and Rev. J. Y. Molock at Trocks, Md. Bishop Johnson said last year, that he had no intention of permitting a minister to stay at a charge after he completed the two years permitted by the church laws.

Pythians Hold Service Nearly 1500 Pythians including the Uniform Department, Course of Calantha and Calantha Dell Companies crowded Beld Church on the occasion of the annual session to the address of the preacher Gee Watry and the rendition of Beethoven's Twelfth Mass and Gloria by the choir brought forth much favorable comment.

Instead, Mrs. Bennett had her husband in the Criminal Court Number 2, on the charge of nonsupport. The Bennettts have agreed to separate, the husband living at 1839 Drudg Hill Avenue and having her son at 813 Dallas Street. On the stand Mrs. Bennett told how it was impossible to get along with her husband and that since their separation he had failed to provide fully for her support, when asked by Attorney Davis, counsel for Mrs. Bennett, how much money she had in bank, Mrs. Bennett replied sharply, "That's my personal business." "You will have to answer that question," desailed Judge Amberle. "Maybe you have enough money in your pocket to support yourself without drawing any part of your husband's pension." "I itin' nobody's business how much money I have in the bank," Mrs. Reppenk "Charge dismissed" said Judge Ambler. Mr. Bennett, who is a Civil War veteran, marched triumphantly on the court remarking to the bailiff at the door. "I knew she couldn't get off with a pack of lies."

JOHNSON·HERE FOR INDUSTRIAL SURVEY Under the auspices of the Inter-Racial Conference of Baltimore and directed by a committee composed of Dr. Broadus Mitchell, white, of Johns Hopkins, liey, Dr. Johnson, and John R. a survey of industrial conditions among colored Baltimoreans is to be made this spring. It will be carried on by Charles S. Johnson, director of Department of Research and Investigation of the National Urban League, New York, and Dr. B. from the University of Chicago, and has made similar surveys in other cities. He acted for the Carnegie Foundation in studying the Negro Migration from the South, and comes to the city through the courtesy of the Na. U. Hospital, his salary being paid by them. It is the desire of the Conference to find out whether the colored man can be made more useful in the growing industrial life of the city, not only for his own sake but for the good of the city as well, and it has an assurance of the cooperation of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association in the provision. Mr. Johnson will list every white industry employing ten or more colored people and ascertain the attitude of the employer toward colored labor. Employers will be asked to estimate steadiness of their colored labor and other qualities or weaknesses. Negro employees will then be questioned as to their feeling toward their jobs, their employers and their fellow-servants, follow-up opportunities, or advancement, their efforts to equip themselves for better work, and other such questions. The attitude of labor unions toward Negro workmen and of Negro workmen toward the unions also will be gone into. This is a shift in the attitude of the Negro is said to be virtually barred from most jobs demanding skilled labor. Last of the problems will be ascertaining what is a living wage for Negroes in the Pentecostal Colored High School colored elementary schools and workers in the Colored Young Women's Christian Association and Young Men's Christian Association will be used chiefly in the Negro community established in the Sharp Street Memorial Community House, 1210 Etting street.
