Pickens Answers Local Ministers On No Hell, No Heaven Theory BABY LOST, JURY DISAGREES Record Covers Only State Road Camps—Those of Counties and Corporations Not Counted SOME PRISONERS FLOGGED TWICE OR THREE TIMES Turpentine Rubbed in Wounds, Strap Moistened and Rubbed in Sand Tulahassee, Ph., April 10.—Official records show 108 prisoners—ninety-three Negroes and fifteen whites—were whipped in eleven Florida road camps in the first ninety days of this year. This does not include those in county camps or leased to private companies, and it is estimated 1,000 have been shipped in all. The reason given for the heatings include stubbornness, laziness, impudence, gambling, drunkenness, attempting to escape, disobedience, cursing and fighting. WHITE ROY DIES OF CRUELTY Special investigators for the New York World are busy here turning the light on occultations in a North Dakota white boy died of cruelty and exposure. Is the practice here to hire all prisoners out to private corporations as convict labor instead of sending them to jail or workhouses, in report sent in by World investigators; *Meet Capt. H. H. Henderson, in charge of the State-H. Road Camp No. 17, Fort White, Columbia County, on the second day after month, of them were whipped in February, March and March. "In these three months he flogged two men each twice and three times each, and in the six camps numbered 132 in ninety days. At this rate the number in twelve months would be approximately 525 for these six camps alone. About thirty State road camps in Florida. I asked Judge Andrews, Chief Clerk of the Prison Division of the Department of Justice, to report the thirty camps report, monthly regarding whippings administered. 'Oh, no,' he replied. 'If there have been no whippings they don't bother to send in a report.' In the column set off for a record of incarcerations under the whip, not one entry among the 132 cases, begged that any prisoner with bad health be sent yet almost any boss can draw blood with three or four strokes of the lash. STROKES The maximum allowed is ten strokes. A well-to-do Florida business man informs me he has been told by convict guards in a prison that they have only liquid upon the raw flesh they have laid with the leather strap, and that before flogging the prisoner they have mausied the leather and rubbed the roadside sand into its mouth until the thong is removed, sandpaper. A Federal official of this State tells me of one "whipping boss" who came from camp into town and purchased cupers to drive through the flat thing so their points would protrude. This was reported recently." CAN'T SPELL, CAN WHIP Commenting on the official reports of Captain C. L. Denmark in charge of Baldwin Camp near Jacksonville, investigator reports: "It is interesting to observe the spelling adopted by Capt. Denmark in recording his reasons for punishing these men. The writer's spelling in February corrects this in March. He spells 'impidence' as *impidence*, and else where refers to some offense which he spells 'dragging'. "But is far higher than that of other conjecture captains," Capt. Hillard for example, and *injunction* or Capt. O. S. Hammond of the camp at Cleveland, Fla., who writes 'laziness', 'haziness' or *pendence*, or Capt. H. H. Henderson of the Fort White City, who writes 'temp to escape', 'desubidence' and deceased. Most of these guards are hired at $240 a month. Their spelling may not be good, but their whipping arms are." Color Line Erased At Harvard College Board Of Overseers Revokes Policy Of President Lowell Cambridge, Mass., April 10—Changing the policy of President Lowell, the board of overseers of Harvard College opened the Freshmen dormitories to Negroes, Jews and all other races. In a celebrated case recently President Lowell refused to permit the college to C. Bruce to engage rooms in the Freshmen "Dorms". College authorities were overwhelmed with protests and the effect that the college will adhere to its traditional policy of no discrimination on account of race or religion, shall not be compelled to live together, nor shall any man be excluded by reason of his color. Southerners who do not deserve to live in the college with colored students will be allowed to live in another with all whites.

Pickens Former Baltimore Professor Replies to Ministers Who Criticised His "No Material Hell, No Heaven, and No Bodily Resurrection from the Dead" Theory QUOTES YOUNG MILLER'S LETTER Kelly Miller, Jr., Says Pickens' Theories Are "Right Stuff, But You Did Not Say Half Enough" By DR. WM. PICKENS In Messenger Magazine In February we expressed the opinion that nobody believes: "That there is a materialistic heaven situated anywhere in space. "That there is a lake of fire and brimstone, or any such material hell anywhere. "That all the billion-billion human bodies, will ever "rise from the earth." Some interesting newspapers, who wanted to make it unusually interesting, changed these propositions by dropping the word "material" from the first two sentences and the word "worldly" from the third. That is, they made new and different propositions out of them. Just as it a man should say: "There is no moon made of cheese"; and some newspaper should report: "He says the moon." The blessed newspapers got just what they went after, for some people they were newspapers, without seeing the true propositions. Some used quick and hard terms—but we shall not be tempted to use them. Blackguardism. We shall use commonsense arguments and honest convictions. For 27 years we have been Church and shared the belief of intelligent Christians. Says Sunday-School Has Proved Failure Omaha, Neb.

Manila, April 10.—The departure homeward today aloed, the army transport Thomas of fourteen enlisted men of the Ninth Cavalry disclosed an almost unparalleled successness toward families and married soldiers. Out of fourteen enlisted men leaving on the Thomas six will abandon Philippine wives, two others who will pay $125 out of their savings for governmental transport and railroad charges for each member of their families, while the remaining six will preserve their families intact by the Red Cross and for the repayment of which they have pledged their army pay for many months to come. 100 HOMES WRECKED The 106 wives who have been repaired added to the number abandoned by American soldiers ordered, home will make more than 100 homes that have been wrecked as a result of the heartless policy of the Government. Seventeen former members of the families, now are in the Philippines forced to remain here because they were unable to raise transport passage fares for their wives, and children. That the War Department does not give a hang how much suffering its unexpected orders entail; on the Ninth-Cavalry, which has been stationed in the Philippines for many years, is made by Brigadier General Johnson Haggood, commanding Camp Stotsburg. Out of 800 enlisted men in the regiment a total of 277 had either or common-law wives in the army paying $125 out of their savings for governmental transport and railroad charges for each member of their families, while the remaining six will preserve their families intact by the Red Cross and for the repayment of which they have pledged their army pay for many months to come. In contrast with the American policy of free transportation for the French and German military, the Government offered these colored veterans the alternative of either deserting their wives, and offspring, or leaving them in their new posts at their own expense. The cavalryman's pay is $20 a month. Although the Government might be unable to afford the expense of transporting the funeral process to the United States local officers assert that the War Department's policy, could have been easily avoided by permitting the married men to remain in the islands until their enlistment terms CONTRACT LET FOR BUILDING OF NEW MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL Structure To House Colored Senior and Junior 'Hi' School Pupils Will Cost $1,149,000 HENRY MILLER CO.

Sixteen-Year-Old Child Charged Wealthy Physician With the Fatherhood of Her Infant "WHERE IS IT" ASKS JURY Neither Plaintiff or Defense Knows, so Jury Disagrees Lincoln, Neb., April 11.—(Cal. News Service.) A missing infant balked a jury and caused them to disagree in the case of Miss Hazel Rollins, 16, versus Dr. A. Porter Davis of Kansas City, Kansas, last week. The jury was out 28 hours. The physician, who is wealthy, was charged with the paternity of an infant by Miss Rollins, growing out of a statutory assault committed when the two were attending an annual session of the Heroines. "The first witness for the State was Dr. E. A. Moss, of Lincoln, who testified that Miss Rollins, now Mrs. Carl Brown, was deliverer of the Murder, 1922. The complaining witness took the stand following the examination of the Lincoln doctor, and was alleged assault. In describing her child, she said it resembled Doctor Davies. According to her testimony, the child was taken to some other child in the house Tuesday morning. She did not know by whose authority Tells Of Attack She testified that a alleged rapist, since about June 18, 1821, and that the doctor had followed her upstairs in the room house occupied by herself and him, following a dance. She had gone to the Laura Johnson home, and closed the door before, disabling for retirement. She had taken off her street clothing and was in the doorway, opening the door of her room to allow free circulation of the air, and just as she turned off, the electric light she felt fit in. She held her arms to her side. The doctor stated his purpose, she claimed, and then attacked her. He was in the room fifteen minutes according to her counsel, and told on one about the event, until the baby was born about eighteen and one-half months after the alleged assault. Dr. Phyllis Denies the charges offering an alibi. Dr. S. M. Banks, formerly Grand Joshua of the Order of Heroes of Jericho, residing in 841 New Jersey, Kansas extended the convention and that he slept in the same bed with Dr. Davis; that he was a light sleeper, and that if the defendant had gotten up or on any hard surface the convention he would have known it. Baby Splitted Aways Both sides of the controversy remain silent. Mrs. Mollini's baby was splitted away to some point in Illinois without Miss Rollin's consent. The defense alleged that the prosecution did not want the jury to see to the defendant, and the prosecution asserted that the defense did not want the jury to see the child's resemblance to Dr. Hawley, each side accused of being away, and each side denied having anything to do with it. The complaining witness declared that the baby "looks like Doe Rollin." Doe Out 25 Hours After deliberating 28 hours the jury admitted frankly: they could not come to an agreement. The absence of the infant, the absence of the mother, they were of enlarged. A new trial was ordained.

It is said that the laker street house, kept by Leon Hall resembled an artist's studio as some of the inmates were flimsily clad and others were draped entirely in the nude. When the place was entered there was a rush for both clothing and oars and for one of the poor penniless caver in windows, but those who were caught in raftion were died into the Northwestern police tation, where the case was dismissed upon Leon Hall paying a fine of dollars.

HARRIS NO KNIFE OR DRUGS Chiropractic is unlike any therapeutic method in existence. There is a wide difference between it and osteopathy, as untold thousands who have tried both know. Chiropractic does not require faith to get results, therefore Christian Science has nothing in common with it. Neither is there even a suspicion of surgery about it, for they are opposites. The Chiropractor with his bare hands adjusts the segments of the spinal column, where they are slightly out of alignment, to normal position. He does this to remove nerve pressure, which is present in the backbone of every sick man, woman and child, regardless of the nature of the malady. Nerve pressure occurring at the spine is the primary cause of 95 per cent of human ailments.

Garfield If I shall be called upon to name the one factor in American life and influence that contributes most toward hindering the progress of the Negro abroad answer—John Hopkins University. The whole thing is clear in my mind. That school investigates practically everything with colored and white in mind. This is especially true in scientific matters. Where the hindrance is so great Hopkins so they carry this spirit. kins places upon the race. Our blood is degraded. Mixture with Negro blood is dangerous on account of syphilis therefore degeneracy, intermarriage laws-purification-radicals, negrophobin-Ku Khu Klan-lynching etc. etc. a vicious circle. Stay Out of White Hospitals One of Johns Hopkins funda mental problems is to prove that One notable example is that of Dr. Christian and his satellites in the Howard Medical School. Williams the obstetrician has written a book on obstetrics in which he describes the different colors of our colored women and there is no one to reply, because it came from Johns Hopkins. Others ac- cept these things without question. The sad thing is that our colored people must themselves be jim-crowed and humiliated for the purpose of letting such not be given out to the public about them. Hopkins' Statistics Unfair Then the Joans Hopkins statistical and expedition studies on syphilis are accepted practically everywhere. As a result whenever a colored man, woman or child enters a white clinic syphilis is the first thing considered and must therefore be ruled out before considering. Upon the basis that syphilis is more prevalent among Negroes than among the whites, What is more they claim a race susceptibility or predisposition to syphilis. Can you see how approaching a thing is. It affects the socially, politically and ecologically. Then the John Hopkins statistical and experimented studies on syphilis are accepted practically everywhere as we know it, for the reproduction of a morbid woman or child enters a white clinic syphilis is the first thing considered and must therefore be ruled out before considering. This is upon the basis that Syphilis is more prevalent among Negroes than among the whites. What is more they claim a race susceptibility or predisposition to syphilis.

Stay Out of White Hospitals One of Johns Hopkins fundamental problems is to prove that the Negro is fundamentally inferior to the white race. They say that Negroes have been separated from several angles. I wish it were possible to keep Negroes away from every white hospital especially in the South, although as I have said, the John's Hopkins spirit has permeated the black race so it can be prevented only by having our own hospitals and then in having them conducted by our own men. The white man is bound to prove to his own satisfaction that his germ is of inferior stuff, that his germ is inferior and that since we cannot by any known means improve the germ, since ac- quired, chracters can not be transmitted or since we know no ways of ensuring the transmission of them, the reproduction of the Negro stock should be discouraged, limited or carefully controlled. The whole thing work untold mischief, Just such sort of thing is being taught in our big universities today.

Chicago University Teaches Inferiority Bunk Also At the University of Chicago there is a course in Evolution, Genetics and Eugenics in Chicago. This course is used as a text. This course is given every quarter and there are no prerequisites. The white students swallow that stuff without a gulp. Negroes sit in class and have to listen to the teacher say that the Negro book is in such a worth white, that he had never contributed anything to civilization, that when left alone as he has been in Africa for thousands of years he has shown no ability to build up a civilization, that he has become an undesirable element of our population, a dysgenic element. The teacher frankly stated that he believed that the law preventing intermarriage between the races to be proper and that such laws should be passed in every State birthplace he stated that these should be laws forbidding sexual intercourse between whites and blacks. He urged that appeal be made to public sentiment discouraging intimate social contact of such a nature as might lead to sexual intercourse or intermarriage. Now the teacher is unhappy strong at the University of Chicago, you can imagine what it would be in Hopkins, the University of Texas or the University of Georgia.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1923 LONG GREEN NEWS SENT BY DRUMS KEEPS AFRICA ASTIR Relay Method of Broadcast ing Blamed for Increase- London, April 6.—"Broadcasting," a system of communication without wires which preceded radio transmission by marty years on the dark continent, is held largely responsible for the ever-increasing agitation among the colder folk in Africa. Broadcasting, or long distance transmission, is not unexplained by means of mail, the messages being held over tremendous distances with great rapidity. By "drum talk," as it is sometimes called, news of the approaching visit of American notables to Marshal Lyaute in Morocco was learned on the upper Volta about three hours after it was published in Paris. News of the death of great chief warriors of opposing armies are sent to the opposing which and also the outlying opposing which is said to be promoting unrest in Eastern Western and Southern Africa. Agitation in a form resembling bolshievism has appeared in East Africa and sentiment favorable to the nationalist movement started by Marcs Garvey is rampant in Liberia, while the troubles in Africa recently require military intervention. This axiation is said to be due to inflammatory reports spread among the tribes by drum talk. ST. MICHAELS St. Michaels, Md.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How to Treat. Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenth of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bleeding, musca, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. Another stomach infection is irritated digestion is delayed and food soaks, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach suffer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try buying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesium and take a tequilow in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no need to oxygine pain. This sweetens the magnesium in powder or tablet form—never liquid in powder or tablet form—the stomach is hardened to the stomach insensitive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesium for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. BUCKEYSTOWN BUCKKEYSTOWN, MID.

And Beecher continued that: "A heaven presided over by such a demon as that, who has such power that this world with millions of human beings, and hell, but like dead, dies but The oldest statesmen of the church are warning today that some better motive will have to be advanced for interesting people in the Christian Church. The best of hell anymore, except little children and weak-minded grown-ups. The best of the children will grow up of it, as they grow up, and churches cannot survive on weak minds. The good and brave people in any church today, in it in spite of hell, not because of it. The best mark of an intelligent christian is tolerance and generosity of spirit. And it should be said that there ought to be a lake of real fire for the intolerant and ungenerous men who cannot be in the presence of others in all ages and armaments with abuse—or with physical violence. Three thousand years ago Turtukhamen, Phararch of the Egyptians, had buried with him his gold enclosures, gilded chariffs, vases, statues and a bunch of flowers, in the belief that three thousand years after his 1800Y (not merely his soul) would arise and take all these little luxuries into another world and stand before Osiris, the great God. If some honest and brave Egyptian thinker had said: "Tut, yourummy and those things are not going into any spirit world. Things that in you Your body is a will some day go into the British Museum"—that honest thinker would have been mathematized by every priest of Osiris, and perhaps his scripious tongue would have been cut out. MORE AFRAID OF COPS AND CONSCIE THAN HELL The acts of a life like that of Jesus of Nazareth are worth more to the church today than all the terrors of a million hells. If I were disposed to commit a crime, I should be more afraid of my eighty-year-old brother than of all the policeman, than of all the devils of all the hells ever created by the cringing fear of man. The happiness of my fellow-man, or the smile of my little girl, more as a constraint upon my conduct than the threat of a devil or the apprehension of an enemy. He is quite a bit from Henry sincere Christian, a good citizen, and sincere Christian, a good citizen, and a brave man. He commanded the respect of all people, but he deserved the love of the colored people of the United States. Well, when Beecher considered the matter of material heavens, he cried out in his outburst: "If you tell me that they (the billion-billion material bodies that have lived and will live) have all gone to heaven, my answer will be that such a sweeping of mud into heaven would defile its purity, and I will tell them that they have gone to hell, then I swear by the Lord Jesus Christ, whom I have sworn to worship forever, that you will make an idolet of me." Mr. Beecher went on to say that: Such a doctrine "is to transform the Almighty into a monster more hideous than himself, and I will all that I have sworn to that I will never worship Satan, the he should appear dressed in royal robes and seated on the throne of Jeho- CAMBRIDGE.

The church was very beautiful and decorated with gave great credit to the members of the church. On Monday evening a reception was and Mrs. M. A. Thompson. The greetings from all the organizers of the church were well resented. They expressed a NOBODY AFRAID OF HELL THE EXAMPLE OF "TUT" CAMBRIDGE --- vah." And Beecher continued that: "A heaven presided over by such a demon as that, who has been peopleing this world with mankind, who has been sweeping them off into hell, not like dead flies, but without taking the trouble even to kill them, and gluing and laughing over their eternal misery, is not such a heaven as if mankind Beecher concluded: "By the blood of Christ I denounce it (this infamous doctrine) by the wounds in his hands and side I adore it; by the blood of Christ I denounce it as the most hideous nightmare of theology." MINISTERS SHOULD HEAR PEWS If I must take my choice among 'preachers, then, I will agree with Henry Ward Beecher. And I wish to humbly confess that I am against hell and all its officers and sympathizers. It would help the preacher occasionally to listen to a person on the pew. When a friend of the church the people will stay out unless they hear something more persuasive than that doctrine, such a friend is not causing them to stay out by forcefulting that they will stay out. We might as well blame the weather prophet for the kind of weather. That is what the old woman did when she said: 'We used to be pretty good weather before that weather man started to modelling it.' THE JONAH AND WHALE STORY When we speak to people of the more untrained minds, we use stories, parables, figures of speech, "concrete ideas." Why should not the Bible do this, as well as other good literature? That is the spirit in which I have read of Jonah and the whole ever since I was a child the story of an apostate and renegade soul, and that soul's final repentance and deliverance. That I could believe a long time quicker than I could believe that any fish was ever intelligent enough to swallow a follow to keep him from drowning, and that even the light's belly was intelligent enough to refrain from digesting that follow for three days!—We INTERPRET everything else in the world in the light of our inner knowledge—why not also the Bible? YOUTH NOT MISLEAD One man raises a question which I do consider very serious. He says that he fears for the effect of such truths and facts "only in the influence they might have on our young people." That is a respectable prudence, but the fear is not justified in the history of knowledge. In the opinion of some remember, every opinion must how to a fact and to truth. Facts are like that immutable, indestructible, eternal. In the long run (and it will be short) hypocrisy and pretence will have the more disastrous effect upon the young mind. At first the truth may startle, but it is the most abiding thing and the best security at last. When Socrates told the truth on the street, farmers about Zeus and the god Minerva, they charged him with "corrupting the youth" and put him to death. But the truth which he uttered has brought no disaster upon the world. It rather prepared the way for the Christian religion.

By mail. $1.15 GOD AND SCIENCE NOT ANTAGONISTIC God and science are not antagonistic. We think God can stand His ground in science, and that it is a weakness of the priest and a sheer insult to deity to presume to defend God by taboo. If the facts of science are destructive to religion, then God destroyed religion by giving man a shame in his upholded the Bible, the Book, and I have quoted Becher, the Minister—and in this last connection let us quote from David Hume, one of the world's greatest Thinkers: "There is no method of reasoning more common, or more common than dispute to endeavor the reduction of any hypothesis, by a pretense of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality." "Why? Because Hume knew, what all wise people knew, that religion is an insult to other kind of religion, finds itself in direct opposition to truth and fact the opinion ought to must, and always does finally, give way." ARE NOT FOOLS Whoever fights for reason and foresight of opinion in the church fights for the ultimate good of the young of the church. The young are not tools. They may sit quiet and afraid to speak, but they are thinking. And if we compet them to swallow our dogmas literally and uncritically in their childhood, they will not forgive us when they get grown. As soon as their mamas quit sending them to our churches, they will quit coming. But if we play honest and fair and allow them to their self-respect, they will stick by and help to foster the "things of the spirit." I was brought up in Sunday-school; I cannot remember the first time when I went to Sunday-school. And it is my conviction that there will be more children in the Sunday-school, if they are allowed to discuss the lessons frankly and critically, as they do their lessons in day-school. I have noticed that the pupils in my class enjoyed me and in the teacher when he bravely admitted that the essence of the table is spiritual and moral, and not scientific, geographical or ecological. KINGDOM BASED ON FEAR IS LOST Do not use fear. Nobody is afraid any more. The deocrines of fear have lost power with real men. The kingdom based on fear, is a lost kingdom. For thousands of years man has made progress in religion—why should this progress stop with us? We are not the last word in progress, the human will move the PERFECT. But every thing it is perfect, especially in religion. The priests of Baal and the chaplain of Pharaoh's palace thought that there was nothing further.

WESTMINSTER Thousands of Colored Voters Help To Elect A Democratic Mayor in Chicago CHICAGO NEGROES HELP TO ELECT A DEMOCRATIC MAYOR MINISTERS TOOK LEAD Bishop and Clergy Urged Downfall of Republican Hosts (By The Associated Krogo Press) Chicago, Ill., Apr. 13.—Repudiating or ignoring, Republican appeal, Colored voters of Chicago joined practically three to one in electing William E. Dever, Democrat, Mayor of the city. It is the most remarkable demonstration of change of attitude and votes in the history of American politics, and is bound to have nationwide significance. The new Mayor is a catholic and anti-Klu Klux Klan. Judge Dever, during the campaign made direct appeals in person for the support of the Colored electorate. His appeals were on a high plane of American citizenship and they had the effect. But of the appeals of the candidate was the most extensive organization among Colored people backed with the all sufficient and necessary cash, to carry the fight direct to the ballot box. Arthur C. Lueber, Republican candidate, having the support of Senator Medill McCormick, also made appeal. He was admired personally but the propaganda of opponents was too effective to stem the tide on the other hand, the Republican organization, started out trusting to hack, and the old time belief that "Say what you will, a Colored man will not vote the Democrat ticket." Unfortunately, the chief Republican advisors of Senator McCormick have proved unpopular among his supporters. He himself has handled the situation with a "long handled spoon" and failed to prop up heed the warnings of these within the group who have heretofore backed his program. What the results will mean for Senator McCormick's re-election to the Senate is a guess. PLAYING INSIDE GAME The game was inside playing, from the Colored side. The Democrats had an organization on the South Side headed by Major A. B. Patterson, in operation for several months. With the results, Major Patterson is monitored for a position in the office of the Corporation counsel. He formerly lived in Oklahoma and was named Register of the Treasury under President Bush, but withdrew from the Southern pressure was brought to bear. Oscar DePriest, who has frequently left the Republican ranks, header an independent drive for Dever. DePriest waged a bitter warfare, with the backing of Bishop A. J. Carrey, of the Church of the Lord, tormented H. Morris, Alderman Lois R. Anderson, a long array of ministers and others, hid down an extensive campaign. Edward H. Wright, committeeman of the second Ward who was supposed to be for the Republican, was far more passive than active. Alderman R. R. Jackson appeared to be for Laufer. In a great mass meeting at Olive Baptist Church, Sidney held the elective, L. K. Williams, mayor of the church, and President of the National Baptist Convention came out boldly for Laufer, as did also Dr. John W. Robinson. CHANGE OF VOTES Figures of the Second and Third Wards disclose that more than 20,000 votes were changed, it might be said "over night." Both of these wards heretofore have always gone overwhelmingly Republican. The second for example, in the previous election it gave a majority, while in the last election it gave a majority for Deven of almost 5,000. The CHICAGO DEFENDER supported the Republican candidate while the CHICAGO WHIP was with the Democrats. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Syracuse, N. Y., April 12. The Salt City Lodge No. 7066, I. B. P. O. E.

NEW COLORED RACE COMING IN MEXICO Of Spanish, Indian And Negro Mixing Says Noted White Educator San Diego, Cal., April 19.—(Pacific News Bureau.) "Within four or five generations hence an entire new race will be formed in the Republic of Mexico," stated Dr. Edgar L. Howett, fatuous autobiographer and frequent address before the College Women's Club of San Diego. "This new race," said Dr. Howey, "will have as its basis the North American Indian and will include the imamagination of the Negro and the Spanish." "This new race will have black personal characteristics, Indian ideas and a language that is a mixture of English, French and Spanish." It is no secret that the various colored races who desire to live in America in happiness and without suffering are surely migrating to the Mexican Republic where they are welcomed without prejudice. The Indian American, few in number but wealthy, objects to the narrow bounds of reservation life and the vast expenses of virgin nature such as is only possible in Mexico. The Hindu, no longer classed as white, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Vietnamese, the Haitians, are to be barred from owning or leasing land in the United States.

"Oh, you do, eh," snorted the old fellow. "Well, why the deuce don't you?" The bell-boy cast a withering glance at him, gazed searchingly about the room and enclosed a shrill "beep."

To avoid this give "hint" a shower. Write the invitations on plush white cards, notetakes to bring any sort of ridiculous articles such as cotton hose, cheek garters, a box of cedar buttons, a dish pan, washboard, rolling pin, alarm clock, moth balls and so on. On each of these write a jingle, then wrap them in brown wrapping paper. Put these inside a dipped umbrella and the vegetables to the handle with white moss quite neatly.

Harmony In The Home So much has been said about "harmony in the home." In my mind, harmony cannot exist in any home unless the parties connected are adapted to each other or in other words have similar dispositions and common feelings. One might say, a person could try to adapt blamed or herself to the other by meeting each other half way. I venture to say this might last for a short period of time but if "two hearts do not meet" they will only end in over-strained nerves, an early grave or finally a separation. I believe if people would only be themselves in reality before marriage in order to become thoroughly acquainted, there would be "harmony in the home" and the divorce Kill would end. MRS. S. J.

I was in a fashionable shop when my eyes caught a glimpse of a jeweled belt that seemed to me an acceptable gift for my buttrothed. I asked the clerk to place an assortment of the belts on the counter. "Ladies belts?" asked the polite salesman. "Certainly, gir. and what size?" Then I hesitated. "Really," I said. "I don't know." And I gazed about helpless for a moment. Then a happy thought came to me. Can't you be me have a yard-stick? I asked. The yard-stick being forthcoming, I placed it along the inside of my arm from shoulder to wrist. Then looking up at the clock, I exclaimed, "Twenty."

Beauty Balms Beauty Balms There is nothing more distressing to the fair sex than to mute traces of worry and age imprint themselves upon their faces. Yet I wonder how many of us realize that a few minutes daily exercise in front of our mirrors could do much to banish those tell-tale lings and sagging muscles. Massaging the muscles about the eyes, across the forehead and around the mouth helps to lift the useless lotion, lifting the soothing muscles upward and patting as much cream into the skin as it can absorb smooths those traces, by feeding the skin and gives it that clearness that is so much admirable. A good oily lotion can be prepared at home and can be depended upon as is as follows: Olive Oil, Almond Oil ½ oz. Tr. Benzoin ½ oz.

It depends entirely on what the man is worth. But a woman's love can never be neglected by dollars and cents, only by heartaches and happiness. A woman's love is worth just what her life is worth, for to a true woman life and love are symptoms. Thought the world, in palaces and toenems—yes, and in neglected graves—suffer thousands of casualties which prove the truth of the old lines: "Love is to men a thing apart. 'Tis woman's whole existence." FALLING IN LOVE As a woman was walking a man looked at her and followed her, "Why" said she, "do you follow me?" "Because," he replied, "I have fallen in love with you." "Why" said her, "Why" are so beautiful," "My sister, who is coming for me is much beautiful than I am. Go and make love to her." me is much more beautiful than I am. Go and make love to her." The man turned back and saw a woman with an ugly face, and being greatly displeased returned and said. "Why should you tell me a false bond?" The woman answered: "Neither did you tell the truth, for if you were in love with me, why did you look back for another woman?"

Inability of the "Y" guards to keep close to Wake and Baskerville finally spelled defeat for the "Y" men who strove desperately in the last half to overcome the short lead of the All-Stars. Between the halves, Carl Murphy, for the Aero League, presented the massive silver cup two and a half feet high, to the 'Y' champions, who won eight games and lost two during the league games. To be kept permanently, it must be won two out of three years. Smaller cups were awarded the High School for second place, and the Arrows for third place. Tribute was paid to the sterling work of Manager Lewis, the members of the team, and Umpires Webb, Gibson and Lane, who were "termed the three squarrel arbiters in the city." Dr. B. N. Rhetta and Henry Brown were among the other speakers, and attention was called to the fact that the promoters of the league were not promoting the sport for money, but, to develop clean sportsmanship, both of the city.

BASKETBAL Baltimore Or (White). South Atlantic —VS— ATHENIA SATURDAY, Those who met him at the dock declared he landed full of rightous indignation. Siki was marooned in Ireland because both American and British ships refuse to haul him home. Even the Home Secretary refused to allow him to pass through England. Paris, April 12—"I was robbed," said Butler of Siki, the Sanselegane who escaped yesterday from Ireland, referring today to the fight in Dublin in which he lost to Mike McGueigne. "I will never go to Ireland again," the black man continued, "unless I can cross by way of England. I lost so much writing. I lost so much Ireland and back that I am now a middleweight. Siki knocked out an American diner in one of the best known Paris restaurants early this morning during a brawl, in which his formidable fist resented an attack to his race. The attackers had been the result of this light charging him with assault and intoxication. U. S. CHAMPION BROAD JUMPER A RUNNER TOO DeHart Hubbard College Star, Married; Wife in Cincy Schools Detroit, Mich., April 10.—Versatility is an attribute which DeHart Hubbard, University of Michigan state, has nothin' else but says the Independent. Though he competes in only four events, the dash, low and high hurdles and the broad jump in college, Hubbard participated in eight events in his high school days and was capable in all of them. Hubbard attended the Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. His record there is as follows: High jump—5 ft. 8 in. Javelin throw—140 ft. Discus throw—112 ft. 9 in. Hop, step and jump—45 ft. 100-yard dash—16 sec. 50-yard dash—5-2-5 sec. 126-yard high hurdles—16 25 86c. Plays Baseball Too Track was not the only sport in which he engaged, either. He played center field in baseball, forward in basketball and in his senior year he had a back on Hilli Wiley gridiron eleven. In 1921, Hubbard represented his school in the Ohio State Fair track championship. In fact, he was their only man, but by taking six firsts and two seconds, he enabled them to finish in second place. On top of all this Hubbard had the highest scholastic attainments of any one in his class, graduating with an average of .89. Nation-wide attention was first attracted to Hubbard by his performance in the national A. A. U. championship last year. He took three firsts the senior broad jump the junior broad jump and the junior jump. In the first mime he defeated Gourdin, the Harvard Negro, who holds the world's broad jumping record. He also set a new national A. A. U. mark of 24 ft. 3½ inches in the junior broad jump. Hubbard's work in the Western conference indoor season has been little short of remarkable. Won 50-Yard Dash He broke the Illinois' relay carnival broad jump record snatched in the 50-yard dash record and has been individual high score man in every meet in which Michigan has participated. In the carnival, his jump of 25 feet, 4½ inches would have set a world's broad jump mark but not in the 50-yard dash mark in his take-off, and the leap was not allowed. He is expected to establish a world's record in this event outdoors. Hubbard hopes to go to the Olympic meet in Paris in 1924. He may defend his titles in the hop, step and jump and the broad jump, if he is not too worn out by college competition. He will compete in the Penn Relays at Philadelphia the end of this month. The colored athlete is a students sort of an individual. His grades are good. And he is married, too, though his wife is still attending school in Cincinnati. Hubbard is taking a literary course. ATHENIANS IN FINALE The Athletians will ring down the curtain on their basketball season Saturday night when they take on the Oriole cagers "white" in a game at Richmond Market Armory. Trim Weldons in Interest ing Seven-Inning Tilt, 7.2, Before 300 Fans On Sunday RAIN STOPS THE PLAY New Pitcher and Catcher Make Excellent Impression on Fans The Black Sox trotted out on the diamond at Maryland Park last Sunday in their first practice game of the season and succeeded in administering a neat facing to the Weldon Club of Annapolis who had been selected as the opponent of the occasion. 7-2. With the exception of Rojo and Mahoney, all the Sox players who had signed contracts were on hand, including the new men, "Hooks" Mitchell, Britt, Richardson who played with the team the latter part of last season, and Wheeler. Joe Lee, Buek Ridgeley who expected to be given truout with the Sox, jumped on Ben Taylor's Club in Washington. Doc. Sykes was on hand, did not dun a uniform. If the form the Sox displayed in this game can be taken as a criterion, the team hasn't got a stipendants amount of work before it will be ready for real action. Every man handled himself in almost mid-season form, played an errorless game, were on their toes at all times and the ball. And couldn't mistake they were against club team—the Annapolitans were not slouches by a long shot. Mitchell was sent to the hill for the Sox with Britt who is utility man, behind the plate, and for the six innings he worked. Mitchell held the boys from the banks of the Severn scoreless; yielded five hits, passed one and fanned three. Wheeler was sent in, in the seventh, and it was in this inning that the visitors got their two runs the result of a hit per Wheeler, however, the side the Ride Rain broke up the game at this point. Logan caught the last two innings. As a battery, Mitchell and Britt looked good. Mitchell had the fans shrinking with his lightning-like southpaw pegs to first to catch runners stealing and Britt made a great hit by the business-like way he handled himself, especially did he impress by the way he swings at the pill. On his way to the plate he hit the pretty single to center. Other Sox players who found the pill were Raggs who got three hits out of four trips: two of which were doubles, Mitchell who got two hits out of three trips, and Poles who got only one hit in three trips, but this was a two-base swat. Evans and Patters of the visitors were the leading stickers for their team, each getting two safeties out of three trips, one of Evans for two stitches. Not Sunday the Sox will play the Irvington All-Stars, "white" a double-header. Rojo and Mahoney are expected to be on hand.

Jackson Tells Of Flying Trip To Theaters Here And At Capital Last Week By J. A. Jackson in response to an invitation to sit with the performers and managers at the joint conference in Washington on March 28, the Page picked up his pencil, paper and a Pony's ticket good for the trip, with a stop at Baltimore. In the team we met H. D. Collins, the Putnam Building agent, and with him went into the Office, between neither late, we admit) we visited the Star Theater, where we found Mr. Porter in conversation with W. E. Kendy, the theatrical editor of AFI00-AERICAN. At the time we were the auto guest of Carl Murphy, the managing editor of that publication. PRESS SIMMONS OUT. Etonville from East Baltimore, we tried to call upon Cress Simmons at the National; but he would see no one not appraised by his secretary, so we lost out, until next day when we bassed him at the joint meeting. Visited the Regent, and again glad-handed with the Father and one of the Dornstein boys who own the house. With Edwin Brown, the best promoter who is the cleverest woman operator in the administration game, we worked at the work of Ferguson, Smooth and Ferguson, Smooth and Smooth column and Rice, and the Verasals, Chatted with Smooth and the medicine, as we did with Bird and Ewing and Mr. Dooley at the Star Theater. PALACE REAL HOTEL Saw the local lobby for the Will Marion Coole appearance, as we rode back to the Royal Palace Hotel, and say talks, that is a real hotel, with beds that are a genuine comfort, in rooms that are clean. Mr. Jones the proprietor, quotes a rate of $220 per day, with a rate of $80 per work either single or double, for the work to show people. Reasonable enough, we say. The dining room service is well rendered, if we may judge by the Waitress who served us twice, and for the good food intelligently served, we regarded the charges as quite moderate. Had a bit of conversation with Lieutenant A. Jack Thomas on the Acolian School is turning out trained musicians as fast as the amusement world can absorb them. And Jack trains them to be Federation men as well as artists. EDNA BROWN IN STORE Elaine Brown is a notary, and besides promoting dinners, concerts, he has hosted a store on Pennsylvania avenue near the Douglass Theater, where she will bundle all of the race papers and the theatrical journals. She will be in position to discuss business matters for the profession. Engine Heaton and his estimable wife were just serving a big home dinner to a number of professional friends at their new home, 1295 Pennsylvania avenue, when we dropped on them. Oh, they're setting pretty. Just before the evening or early morning was finished, we met Eris Malone, who is on the road with the Gould, and Ofry, actress, and was in the Maryland Theater for the week. SEES S. H. DUDLEY Over in Washington, besides attending the meeting mentioned, we worked S. H. Dudley's remodeled office over from stem to stern. It's great. He has a large private office on the front. Miss Desdamonia Tarnett has the former Dudley room, all renovated and repainted, he, while Mr. Wykes occupies the big main room. "Uncle Dudley" has dressed his race and insists that every one working on bookings out to his office shall do likewise. Now to the heart of town, he has his racing stable where the trainer was busy with a pair of helpers getting the string of seven heads of racing stock ready for shipment to Limiko. Some valuable playbings, and "Dud" is brand of them, and justifiably so. JENKIN'S OUTDOOR CARNIVAL In the street back of the Mid-City Theater, we found Oscar Jenkins with a staff of mechanics surrounded by a lot of outdoor paraphernalia that they were preparing for the opening of the Jones-Jenkins Carnival that will open in that city under the auspices of the Elks early in April and then play for the same order at Rockville, Md. The show, and its promoters have to impressed J. Finley Wilson, the Grand Exalted Ruler of the order that he is going to send out an initial proclamation indorsing it to subordinate lodges. This he led Mr. Dudley in our presence, as a child of this promise, thus that the Carnival will from start develop a new field of motion, and will move in being ingued upon the already established shows of the kind, since the col- Elks have not before been cultured in this direction. KISS WITH DR. CROSSLAND "ley" Duke Morris, of the U.S., also showed a very active in the matter. He talked with the Puge, and introduced Dr. Crossland, who exercised Government supervision over soldiers for the U. S. Bureau.

SIR ALFRED BUTT DEFENDS $125,000 DUNBAR COLORED ARTISTS ABROAD THEATRE FOR 'GINGY By J. A. Jackson At the annual dinner of the Variety Artists Benefect Fund, in London on March 14, Sir Alfred Burt, who is available for the appearance of Harper and Blanks and the "Plantation Revue" in England, defended the colored artists most vigorously against the unfair and slanderous objections that have been made against them in that country. His speech was received with evident favor by the Lord Chamberlain and a group of England's most important amusement people people who are high in the social scale of the land. A list of the nobility like a full of the nobility so we may disregard the savings of the folks who don't count much, in view of the support of the nobility and artistry and feel satisfied that our artists will fare all right while there. "PLANTATION DAYS" OPENS "PLANTATION DAYS" OPENS Iy J. A.

AN ASSOCIATION FOR NEGRO PERFORMERS Dy J. A. Jackson The Henry Haunel Theatrical Association, an organization upon which the promoter as been working for seven years has been chartered by the State. The corporation will proceed to carry out the very useful purpose of providing those of the race in the theatrical service and professions with a meeting place in downtown New York. The charter is a broad one, and Henry Haunel, who has been with the A. H. Woods offices for many years, is to be complimented on the persistence with which he has striven for the accomplishment of this very laudable enterprise. He was justly proud of his achievement and in order that there should be no misgivings concerning any part of the thing he brought to the articles of corporation, list of indoors and contributors, and the roster of directors into the Billboard offices. When Avery Honowood, Marjorie Rambean, Al Woods and people of such standing approve an idea in the Broadway district, it must have merit. When a man opens his books to public scrutiny, he is sincere, and when any need is so apparent as is the colored theater, he is of a home in the Italo district, there he no doubt as to the futur- the association. ure of the association THE AFRO-AMERIC By J.

Church who were represented by Horace Stanley Sudduth. The parsonage now on the site will be torn down to make room for the theater which is being designed by Zetter & Ruptur architects. The improvement will represent an expenditure of $125,000. The legal details of the deal were looked after by Attorney 'Amos Foster. VARNELL'S REVIEW Star Theater, Shreveport, La. March 26. Four clean, well dressed acts drew good houses this week, despite the rain, with a show that ran an hour and twenty minutes. A good overture opened the evening's entertainment. Brown and Krewel two men under a draped draping, put over some talk and closed with "Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes," drawing applause for the fifteen minutes spent in 'One.' The act rates 85%. Isaac (Shim) Jones, a single who likewise worked in one under work, took an ovation. He did ten minutes that earned him an $80. His monologue matched that of dress, not to the personality of the performer. Johnson and Lee, man and woman both working 'straight' were next in a series of single and double song and dance offerings, with a bit of talk interspersed. The woman made two changes of costume. The act was put over to clean a good hand. They demanded the applause marks them as a good 90%. Willimus and Brown, another mixed team, the male member of which does blackface scored the same. This act was reviewed here on March 1 last season. They then met to be the 90% accorded them at that time. Gray and Liston man and wife in a fifteen minute offering of songs with some dancing by Gray, who seems to be getting younger, were properly the closing act. Miss Liston's number got a heavy hand, and she granted an encore, edited the printed card form of announcing the acts, much to the gratification of the patrons. —Wesley Varnell. Springfield Fans Hiss Referee (Preston News service) Springfield, Ohio, April 12—Hissess cateals, keeps and other forms of dissatisfaction met the ears of Ref.

It is said that the New Yorker led the fight all the way, and especially for eight rounds, to outweigh the "Kid" by 13 pounds simply hung on. The fans were indignant at the decision of the referee.

The object of the meeting called by Mr. Dudley was to improve generally the conditions prevailing in this element of the show business. The result of the afternoon's discussions, was the appointment of a committee composed of L. S. Watts, Telfair "Washington and "Bad" James from among the performers, to co-operate with Messrs.

Madison 0692 the resignation of the faculty at Bowie makes many people feel that the work will be closed and the facilities transferred. At this year the pupils complained to the State Board of education of mistreatment, and the faculty was discharged; this year the valuable buildings burn and the faculty resigns. Clearly no one is satisfied with the conduct of affairs there but Supervisor J. W. Huffington and Principal Leonidas James. For the sake of argument, it may be admitted that these men are not solely responsible for the plague that affects Bowie, nevertheless they have demonstrated in two years that it is pure robbery for them to accept tax payers' money for the work they are doing. Other States like North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are appropriating thousands for Negro Schools. This year North Carolina alone is appropriating three million. Maryland appropriates a few thousands for a normal school and gives us such mal-educators as Mr. James and Mr. Huffington. The city of Baltimore approprie Enoch Pratt Public Library and with its branches are open to the use of are no colored librarians. Statistics of this library's circus show that it's use has not yet reach based on the per capita circulation this country. The Assistant Librarian told the sometime ago that while the teach schools used the books largely the colored people did not draw a pro book. Perhaps it would not be a bad employing colored librarians that a organized life of the group. In one-seventh of the population is only increase circulation but help distribution of public funds. The city of Baltimore appropriates $275,000 for the Enoch Pratt Public Library and while this library and its branches are open to the use of colored patrons there are no colored librarians. Statistics of this library's circulation department also show that it's use has not yet reached the half-way point based on the per capita circulation of other libraries in this country. The Assistant Librarian told the AFRO AMERICAN sometime ago that while the teachers and students in the schools used the books largely the great mass of the colored people did not draw a proportionate number of book. Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to have branches employing colored librarians that could link up with the organized life of the group. In view of the fact that one-seventh of the population is colored it would not only increase circulation but help in a more equitable distribution of public funds. 400 Farmers and $300,000. A European vessel brought into this country last week 400 farmers and $300,000. They have come over to purchase farms and begin life anew in the South. This is a part of a plan of Southern business men to supply farm labor of an "assimilable type." While the migration of Negroes from the farms of the South have served to teach them a lesson in human relations, we must not forget that it is a two-edged sword that may cut both ways. The South and West are the only sections of the country where farm lands can be cheaply acquired. If the Negro group allow themselves to be driven from these sections into an already over-populated part of the country the economic consequences will be more disastrous than the effect of fighting it out there. Our racial program should include the ownership of sufficient soil to produce more than enough to sustain the race. A few advantages in some congested area will not compensate for the loss of opportunity to get firmly rooted in the soil. No matter where we go we will ultimately have to fight for racial life and adjust Job-holders Again. women. of William the Criminal Jason and assault. due to the fact that total weakness suffered and will never be a form of ghosts.

Let a man be converted at a church service and there is not much of a sit, but let a resident be convicted of some crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other. How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when neighbors of ours suffer from some crime! Troubles are often to come to us all in some shape or form and what we say about our friends and acquaintances today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respecter of persons. We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should be watching our own step. What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything they could have done. News, either good or bad, grows and becomes generated and distorted by bullying. When you feel good it makes no material difference how it is exaggerated or distorted—it can never do anyone positive harm. But bad news, given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who certainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake. More charity for others will mean more charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take good and delight in reporting something good of some person to something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news," stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are ten to one that you can and that you will. The "Divine Sarah" Arthur Brisbane Many years ago, when Sarah Bernhardt was young and very thin, she startled the world by wearing black velvet jacket and trousers and by sleeping in her own coffin. The coffin seemed unreal to her probably. She had it made nearly half a century ago of choice rosewood. She has it still. Two days ago she was asking about that pretty rosewood coffin! She lies in it now. Her last hour upon this stage has passed and that coffin is all that is left. Sarah Bernhardt died in poverty, with a fortune in flowers heaped around the doors, with the greatest men and women on earth anxiously telegraphing and writing for news of her. She died with the knowledge that none can fill her place. Sarah Bernhardt, who began with nothing, dies with nothing except a reputation known to the whole world. And that's the only thing worth which death counts.

The grand old purity of moral ideas degenerated into an agency of business prosperity. The mer- tant prince supplants the moral idealist. Alas, there is left no Thogodore Roosevelt to unite the two in comprehensive platform of principle and interest. Colleges Get Money, Need Inspiration Our higher institutions of learning are experiencing an era of great financial re-enforcement. Fisk University has secured $560,000 in pledges of her million dollar endowment fund. Meburry Medical College has already secured one million dollars for endowment, and is putting on another drive or a half million dollars more. Biddle University is underwritten to the extent of three quarters of a million. Howard University is well on the way with its half million dollar campaign for the endowment of its Medical Department. Wilberforce is erecting a $460,000 building. Morehouse College and Atlanta University have more than doubled their resources during the last year. past six years. All of our colleges and universities have been greatly augmented in resources and enrollment of students since the World War. Secondary schools have advanced even more rapidly than the colleges. Washington and St. Louis have high school buildings that cost over half million dollars each. Baltimore and Cincinnati are erecting buildings to cost over a million dollars. Southern educational management is awakening to the necessity of adequate secondary educational facilities for the colored race. The example of North Carolina and Virginia is worthy of great praise. On the material and physical side there is good progress and greater promise. But, alas, there is an understone of sadness and disappointment. This is especially true of our colleges and universities. They are failing to arouse the aspiration and quicken the enthusiasm as they were won't to do in the more primitive and privative days. There is lack of faxy, ideal and concerated endeavor. In want of definite objective the letter confuses the spirit. There is need of radical reform in our entire higher educational fabric. The old razor needs a new edge. The higher powers resident in our youth are not being awakened and quickened to a keen sense of racial responsibility and duty. We must locate the cause and amply the remedy. Send Negroes to Congress in 1924 Roger Randolph, the only colored member of the New York has introduced and pushed through the passage of teaching bill for that State.

Oliver Randolph, the only colored member of the New Jersey Legislature has introduced and pushed through the passage of an anti-lynching bill for that State. Asbury and Stevens, of the Pennsylvania Legislature are working hard on a civil rights measure which they have reintroduced after failure during the last session. These insults remind us of the importance of the Negro group having its own representatives inside the governmental circle. The white man, at best, cannot be expected to feel with keen incentive and purpose of the race. rights and wrongs. The man who wears the shoe feels the pinch. If the race does not safeguard its own interests it cannot expect the white man to safeguard them. At best he looks upon the sufferings of the race with altruistic aloofness. We need Negroes in the Congress of the United States as well as in the legislatures of the several states. Now is the time for Negro statesmanship to get busy. The next national campaign is going to be hotly contested. The Republican party will be put to its wit's ends to maintain its ascendency. Despite its apathy from the faith of the founders, the Republican organization is still the only national political agency which the Negro can use for racial advancement. The Republican party needs the Negro; the Negro needs the Republican party. There is mutuality of relationship. Our political leaders should begin at once to make effective arrangements with the powers that he. The demands for 1924 should be formulated in 1923. It is needless to try to bind the party to any affirmative legislation; for such promise will hardly be fulfilled in face of stubborn partisan and sectional opposition. The lamentable failure of the Dyer Bill should furnish ample warning. The race was given full assurance of appointive consideration by both President Wilson and President Harding, but the promised patronage failed of fruition in the fullness of time. Nothing is more futile than pre-election pledges. Our political leaders should demand of the local party leaders, the nomination of race candidates in heavy Negro districts for alderman, state legislatures, and members of the Congress of the United States, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago should demand a Negro congressman in the next campaign. Indication of what might be accomplished for the race through such representatives is seen in the accomplishment of Randolph in New Jersey, and in the effort of Ashury and Stevens in Pennsylvania.

The attendance was gratifying and the appreciation enthusiastic. The biggest task before the race today is the formulation of a race consciousness. A careful searching and recording of the worth-while deeds and doings of the race conduces to this desirable end. Dr. Carter Woodson is a thorough scholar equipped with modern historical scholarship and methods of inquiry. He has devoted his life and consecrated his trained powers to this worthy task. Herein he points out the sphere and function of the Negro scholar. There is no more inviting field for scholarship than is to be found in exploiting the material involved in the situation and circumstances of the Negro race. If educated Negroes fail to avail themselves of the advantages of this field, white men are eager to take away their crown. Success and host wishes to the Journal of Negro History and to its scholarly promoter, Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D. Lieutenant Flipper has regigned from his important assignment in the Interior Department following the example of his distinguished chief, Hon. Albert Fall. It is hoped that he will find lucrative place in the engineering field in which he is quite proficient. There exists a friendship between these two men which crosses the color line. Mr. Flipper's efficiency also crosses the color line. On April sixth, nineteen seventeen, the United States entered the World War. Five years after, we are still in quest of the world peace.

And Teddy Just Smiled The fourth year class of the Colored High and Training School, accompanied by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, principal, took a sight-seeing trip to Washington.

Good Samaritan "Revised" Version "My brotherings: My ten' dis mohin' is de parable of de Good Semperat." "Once upon a time a man went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among the thieves, and thorns grew up and chocked dat man and he went on and didn't have no money, and he met the Queen of Sheba and she give dat man, yes sub, she give dat man a thousand talents of gold and a hundred changes of raiment and he got in a chair and drove furiously, and while he was driving under a big tree his hair got ketched in de limis' and he hung da many days and many nights and de ravets brought him food to not get water to drink in de night while was swimming in de his wife come and set off his hair and he fell on stony ground and it rained forty days and forty nights and he bid himself in a cave." "And he met a man dut said, come in and have some supper wid me, and he said, I have married a wife and dassen. So de man went out in de highways and byways and compelled him to come and have some supper wid him. And he went on to Jerusalem and saw de Qoon Jizibie sitting high up in a window and when she saw him she laughed and they throw her down, and he said throw her down some mo', and they throw her down seventy and seventy times, and of de fragments they pick up twelve baskets. Now whose wife does you think she will be in the day of Judgment.—Tousson Jeffersonian. Which? Which would you prefer—death or life imprisonment? Death is the usual answer. But no one can be certain what his decision would be until face to face with the real thing instead of an imaginary situation. An Ohio judge gave a Spaniard, confessed murderer, his choice between the electric chair or life prison. He chose death. His lawyers persuaded him to change his mind, so he goes to the penitentiary, with the chance of getting sent before death. Is life as great a burden and disappointment as most of us pretend? Not according to the way we cling to it. Tut A Bootlegger Now they say Tut-Ankh-Amen wasn't a king at all. Well, if he wasn't a king he must have been a bootlegger. Only a king or a bootlegger could have been a king. The ax was as much gold and stuff as Tut parked in his tomb. Some Party! Hickieville Standard—The party at W. C.

An Idyl Of Spring From Spotlight—Detroit News "Home, Sweet Home" will be 100 years old when old the head of it feels how old his hips bent the rubs. From the Afro-American April 14, 1922 [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. "Mr. Murphy started in with the idea that the purpose of the AFRO-AMERICAN is to render service to the whole community. It was not to be a paper tied to the apron strings of any political party, fraternal organization, or religious denomination, and for this reason he seceded the motto: "INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS, NEUTRAL IN NOTHING." "A generation ago, this idea in journalism was well-nigh revolutionary but the hearty support of this publication is the best evidence that what readers want is the news without bias, without prejudice and without dictation. "I have just two prescriptions for success," he said shortly before his death; "faith and industry. I have faith in the ability of the black man to succeed in this civilization, faith in myself and faith in God. Then, too, I believe in just plain everyday hard work." Perhaps nothing else can explain how he laid aside a white-wash brush at the age of fifty-six to enter the publishing business and made a success of it. O. T.

Fells Reporter Lot of Money Was Wasted in Primary Election, and That He Been Investigating "Business" Conditions Aesop, the writer of "Aesop's Collected Fables," was a Negro.

"Well, boy, I've been doing quite a bit of 'vestigating gaily.'" O. T. replied, "Investigating what?" asked the reporter. A large number of colored sailors were in the navy during the war of 1812. Researchers into the history of the Episcopal Missionary Society reported that in 1813 the New African sent to carry the Gospel to heathens in America.
