As usual, contributions may be made directly thru the AFRO-AMERICAN, 628 N. Eutaw street or thrue the Family Welfare Association, 2248 Pennsylvania avenue. Contributions of money and clothing were sent to the AFRO office this week. 1st Neediest Case The father of this family received an injury to her leg and is receiving compensation. This is not sufficient as there are eight children to be provided for. The mother does her share but because of the young baby is unable to do much more than care for them all properly. 2nd Neediest Case Little Sally is unable to attend school regularly because she has not the proper clothing. Her mother is a widow and there are other children she cared for. She can keep up in her clothes so she can be more when she is older. $5 will provide a 'much needed pair of shoes.' 3rd Neediest Case The father of a family of four, although willing, is unable physically to meet entirely the needs of his family. The wife also does her share, but the two younger children are not getting the two quarters of milk daily which the doctor says they must have. You can help them by your wish to help them to be reared well? 37.84 will provide two quartes of milk daily for one month. 4th Neediest Case Joe's lungs were examined by the doctor and he was advised to go to a sanitarium. This was a heavy blow because Sara, his wife, was in the operation and he did not know what would become of the four children, Stanley, 10; Gindy, 8; S and John, 5. Grandmother P. persuaded us to assurance that they would be kept together, Joe slowly went under treatment. Sara is slowly improving, but it will be many months before she is able to assume charge of her. Do you not wish to help us fulfill our promise to Joe? $50 is needed. :5th Neediest Case Mary is expecting the birth of her fifth child. The husband deserted her several months ago and has not returned to her children. Harold, 16, is the main support, but his ware is not sufficient. Agnes, 16, is already a great help, but she is not ready until she has completed the necessary education. A fund to carry them through until the new baby arrives the mother, $20 is needed. 6th Neediest Case Ada is trying to keep her family together, but the struggle is pretty hard. Ada has been on the job therefore has been on half pay for many weeks. Ada scarcely cares for her own family. They have such a normal happy life it would be hard for Ada to stay. Temporary help of coal will help out a great deal. $20 is needed. 7th Neediest Case Old Sally lives alone in the third story front which serves as her little domain. It is spotlessly clean and the Bible, much worn from use, salts in her kitchen, and her years and her active days are nearly over. She sits by the window thinking of the son who has not been to see her in a long time, but she will come soon and perhaps take her to his cozy home in the South. $5 will add much to her Christmas cheer. B1h Neediest Case John and Mary came to Baltimore from Canada five years ago. Mary had always proved a faithful wife, but in the United States she soon learned that her husband cared deeply for her andandonment, and now John has been gone six months without a word to the little family. A new baby is expected soon but Mary hones to return to her native country before its arrival. Johnny and Bob believe in Santa and are so unnicious that their stocking will not be filled. $10 and toys are needed to make Christmas happy for them. 9th Neediest Case Harry, now 18 months old, has rickets. His diet consists of milk, fresh fruit, and vegetables, which his mother would love to get him, but she is unable to on their present income to earn all the money for learning all the possibly can because of lack of advantages when he was younger. Harry is the youngest of six and can be reared into a healthy youngster if he has a chance. 10th Neediest Case Baby Robert is unable to walk, although he is two years old. His parents have been very poor on account of sickness and the health of the family, and have undermined the milk the doctor first ordered to milk the other protested but finally accented as a gift to rear her child into a faithful citizen. Improvement is slow, but noticeable and with regularity he will surely pull through. Costs only $3.50 a month, or $1.50 for three months. Can you not help? 11th Neediest Case On one of the smallest streets down town lives Jays Winnifred. His draw is a picture of a man from which his father is also a sufferer. He is in the State Sanatorium, but unfortunately there is not one for him. He is the greatest. The mother is trying hard to rear him, but is unable to get the milk which is necessary. $10.40 will provide one quart a day for three months. 12th Neediest Case Mary r, a woman 75 years of age, was stricken with heart trouble, and is unable to move about much. She has no one to whan she, may turn, and will be cared for. Everyone who knows her wants a share in helping her to carry on. Her rent is $2.50 a week, or $10 a month. Do you not wish to pay this a while 13th Neediest Case During the influenza epidemic in 1918, Mary, now six years, lost her mother. Since that time the father boarded a car and was devoted to her. Six weeks ago Mary's father became ill with pneumonia and is just convalescent. He now must get the sick diet and little Mary is often neglected want of food.

Jack Thomas, Mr. Dett's instrumental solos, and Mrs. Talbert's singing. For the chorus alone, it was better than anything Baltimore has ever heard before.

The audience that so also for the rafters fairly rocked with the applause, Mr. Dett also played four of his own singing for the piano in owning manner.

After being discharged by the forensic for five hours, Robert, Jr., went in the cielar and found that his father had hung himself by fastening a piece of rope around his neck, extending from a projecting piece of wood in the joist, and had jumped off of the coal bin, which was nearby. The police were notified, his body cut down and taken to University Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Later it was carried to the morgue.

C. 50 CENTS It has been my policy not to answer the letters sent to the AFROAMERICAN criticising my remarks. However, on this one occasion I must deviate from that policy and call attention to the letters written on behalf of the "Cotton King." alias the "Georgia Milton." When the "Cotton King" first landed I received a red hot tip on him, and thinking I might save some Baltimore money, time and labor. I proceeded to pass the dope on down the line, using the AFRO the vehicle. The information sent on in gooled up the dope, and fact, my attention was called to the fact that Mr. Williams was not only a great race man and a capitalist but also a philanthropist. I was charged with being jealous and of no account myself. I was accused of not "going in the temple and of stopping the dope" and it was just a matter of time before the "Georgia Millionaire" would prove the correctness of my statement, but I did not expect him to be so prompt. From what I have been able to learn, in the words of George Washington, it was "The Georgia Millionaire" figuratively has knocked them sky high. Mr. Williams, armed with a pair of tortoise shell glasses, a Dayton auto and a bucket of blue and yellow paint, fooled them all, and had them thinking the only reason he did not have the dope was premises on Pennsylvania avenue, was because he did not have enough room. He was always equal to the occasion until he not the Honorable Judge. Though he had much experience in flubbubbing people he found hard to flubbub. His Honor and thought he was in all its probability like he will have a chance to try to flubbain Warden Sweeney. Congressman Dyer, the author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has proved himself to be a man of principle. He not only introduced the bill but has been touring the country as a hostage in holding public meetings and trying to awaken as much interest as possible. Lately the Congressman held one of these public meetings in Baltimore at Bethel Church and did himself proud in so far as the Anti-Lynching bill is concerned, but showed much had form in his public statements not relative to the necktie parties. Congressman Dyer went on record as deploring the entrance of ministers into politics when their object was financial gain. Then he went on record as scoring the colored voters who supported Senator Bruce. In so far as I agree with the Congressman, but I don't agree that he should have said what he did, when he did and where he did. Within earshot of the father of the Anti-Lynch bill were at least five or six prominent ministers who had the Republican campaign money in their pockets or in their respective banks. In fact, one gentleman club clan was when the remark was made. Even Congressman Dyer must have noticed there was no applause when he made the CING THE OPENING OF THE DAY CONFECTIONERY Evening, December 22, 1923, at 15 Pennsylvania Ave. JACK NELSON FORTUNE Prop. een, Washington, D.

Now, about Senator Bruce, I disagree with the Congressman. Regardless of what he may think there are a few thousand Negroes in Maryland who will be whom so even they please and Congressman Bruce could not change their be of affiliation even though he presents an "Anti-Lynch" bill every other day. True, Congressman Dyer received much applause when he made the remark, but Senators are not elected to the United States Senate on applause. The votes are what "gets it" and Senator Bruce being now present in the Senate must have gotten necessary votes. Dyer sent his back down when he came up with such an unreasonable and un-American argument. Leaving these matters to discuss financial matters, what I want to handle is get $40 out of the collection? Why $40 out of the collection? Why did His Reverence say he would have to pay the $40 over to the church fund provided the $40 over C.P. didn't, and used the Pishon fishing fund for $10 additional to make $50 for the total) of Bethel Church on an afternoon when any theatre in town would have given its auditorium free? What I want to know is, if the Congressman can make a speech in our behalf at his expense why does Bethel Church have to have forty dollars for their end? And why does Bishop Hussey have to come to Bethel Church of the forty? Pity dollars taken from the lame local N. A. A. C. P. is like taking a hot doughnut from a hungry tramp. Head Waiters Ten years ago if you went into Smith's Hotel late of an evening, you couldn't get up to the bar for headwaiters. At that time there were enough colored headwaiters in the city to start two football teams if their feet hadn't been so bad, and the yellow streaks up their backs had not been so broad, but today you can see four colored headwaiters in the city, including Lucius, the Maitre do Hotel at the Royal Palace, who is likely to be supplanted at any moment by a Chinese. Something must be radically wrong. The old boys have been falling by the wayside one at a time in the last few years. The new order of the day is white headwaiters, white captains and colored side waiters, and the white managers now can't headwait. Serious headwaiters can't headwait. Serious strips, good records and faithful service means nothing. If he is a colored headwaiter he must go. The Emerson now has a white headwaiter, the Belvedere always had one, as was always the case with the Stafford. Kernan has had a white headwaiter and the Caswell has one, Mr. Tally having been displaced after growing up with the hotel. The Rennert a colored acting head, one qualifies with a colored chief. The old and young men have diagnosed the case and have all come up with different causes. Sometimes the headwaiters have been blamed and sometimes the blame has been laid on the shoulders of new managers.

The jury, unable to determine which of the men struck the fatal blow, found both guilty and recommended mercy. RUN FOR DELEGATE POST Newark, N. J., Dec. 29—Dr. W. G. Alexander and Dr. Geo, W.

And how she plays it! Under the spell of her artistry, the famous old French love drama flames into a new and greater glory. Her performance takes rank with that of Mrs. Leslie Carter, to whom the role brought undying fame when Belasco first presented it in America; and with that of Geraldine Farrar who created the role in opera.

R. E. Lee, of New York, the extension secretary. Prof. Lee has already spoken in a number of local churches, addressed the various ministerial meetings last Monday, spoke to a gathering of St. Luke's Monday night and told members of Monumental Lodge of Elks Tuesday of the aims of the legacy. He will speak at Macedonia Baptist Church Summer Sunday and at First Colored Baptist Church at night. He said that the league has branches in 43 different cities and seeks to get better housing conditions and increased industrial opportunities for the race. He said that the league had caused to be opened nearly 500 plants in the North that would not hire the race a few years back. Some of the plant owners put colored workers in with fear and trepidation, but now they realize that the colored are useless as any other race. They mentioned the survey which the league made here some months ago and said that Baltimore may have a branch located here. lies Company has been engaged by Manager Berger of the Star as the stage attraction for his patrons this week, and that his choice was a ten-strike was amply testified to by the great hand that 'greeted Moore when he made his first appearance at the opening show.

This bill is in every sense of the word a big time bill and provides one of the most diversified programs of genuine entertainment of any bill seen at that house this season. Brock and Fisher, headliner, and chief interest centered in her, Leroy Gresham, the well known female impersonator, who is being featured with Bowman's company, came near running off with the show with his conjuration monologue. Brock and Fisher, sister teamed, opened with songs, dance and patter that went over well and they took an encore on their closing number the "Charleston Strut." Bowman's company followed with a skirted on a party of Jackson, Miss habitants bound for Orleans to take the manager. Mr. Harris. This was nicely worked out with Leroy White, clever comic, doing some good work under cork, while Bowman is usual 'contributed his pleasing "straight" to the skit. Leroy Gresham in his female impersonation was nice, especially in how he uses roof and "weeds" and had the audience rocking in their seats for nearly a half hour. This skit was in two acts. Other members of the Bowman company are Leroy Stemmons, Mickey Presson, Ellen Kenmons, Gresham, Lottie Harding and the Bowman Jazz Players composed of Jon, A. Dawley, pianist; Jas, A. Kenmons, leader and saxophone, and CY, Stemmons. Following this skit, Williams and Brooks put over some of the clever hoofing offered by a male host for many moons. Sophie is Brooks, who adds hands-strings to his work. They won a big band. When this team had made its final exit, Bessie Smith appeared to a reception from between the folds of a great yellow, pink or mauve, (we are poor at colors) drop and swing for her first number, and she showed by "dial Dinges, Dinges" and she closed with "Dancing Blues" introducing Carrie Nugent, who did some skillful shocks and perilatic dancing. Miss Smith makes her greatest appeal then the power of her voice, although when she chooses she can invoke a moral quality that is its changes of costume, during her changes, Irvin John, who played her piano accompaniments contributed some pleasing piano tinging. REGENT Vaudeville and Pictures Two vaudeville turns, namely, World and Towels, made singing duo, and Doyle and "Willie," man and woman duo and a white novel act, entitled "Theo" and "Dandies the original Balloon Girl," comprise the stage attraction at the Regent this winter. World and Towel, the latter in blackface, offered a singing specialty that is superior to any male singing duo heard here this season. Both have high range tenor voices which contain much melody and they blend in almost perfect harmony. They received the duo, Doyle and "Willie," the man and woman duo and chatter skirt which contained nothing original, with the exception of an added lib of head balancing by Doyle. The balloon girl act opened with the stage set to represent a great forest with Indians, camped about a fire. This scene was rare and quite beautiful. The man member of the team then appeared in evening dress and sang several numbers in a very good tenor voice during which he rendered the Tyrolean yodle which evoked a big hand from the audience. A surprise was then spring on the audience by the projection of an illuminated balloon from the dark recourses of the stage out over the heads of the audience with a girl seated in it. It was let down into the aisle with the invitation of us many with the audience as desired to go and take a ride. Several birds availed themselves of the "free desires." DUNBAR "Love Bound" The special feature of the week at the Dunbar next Monday will be "Love Bound," starring Shirley Mason. Tuesday, (Xmas Day) the main offering will be "Stepping Fast," starring Tom Mix; Wednesday, "Lost and Found," a thrilling drama dealing with some Americans stranded on a South Sea Isle, will be the big attraction. Pauline Starke, Antonio Moreno and House Peters are the featured actors. Thursday, "A California Romance" starring John Gilbert will be shown. Friday, "Legally Dead," starring Milton Sills will be offered, and Saturday, "The Hero," featuring an all-star cast will be the big drawing card. "Dinah" Ivin C. Miller's last effort in musical shows was "Liza," which appeared here to capacity audiences at the Gayette Theatre, he has just produced another success entitled "Dinah," and which comes to the Gayette Theatre from New York for Christmas week, opening on Sunday Midnight, December 23. The cast of "Dinah" is a lengthy one, comprising over sixty people amongst whom are all the stars of "Liza," headed by Gorttepud Sanders, the Telle Baker of eloped entertainment; Ivin Miller, Billy Miley, May Sarvo, Dae Doe Green, Ethel Giffey, Alana Fonderson, Will Cook, in Silvestre Four, and a host of clips, not forgetting the Gayette Beauties who compose the chorus and are heralded as the fastest dancing aggregation seen on any stage. The company carries its own orchestra under the direction of Lunct, Tim Brynn, the noted composer of Jazz who is also credited with writing the music of the play of which there are twenty fast奏鸣es. Three hours of fast奏鸣, clean and powerful, many music is the one hold out to all who attend the Gayetty Theatre commencing Sunday Midnight, December 23. Regular matinees will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Benjamin Hawkins, 628 N. Central street, who, in August, 1921, killed his wife, and who, after hiding her body in the cellar, cluded officers of the law by spending most of two years on the high seas, was captured in Portland, Me. brought to trial and convicted of manslaughter in Part 1 of the Criminal Court Friday. The crime for which Hawkins was tried brought to light one of the most sensational murder stories ever revealed in the local courts. Brought back to justice after two years of freedom and after he had traveled almost around the world, Hawkins broke down and told on the witness stand the whole story of the crime in which he admitted clubbing to death the wife he loved and making his escape after hiding her body in the cellar of the home in which they lived. Quarrel Over White Man Beginning his narrative with the assertion that he loved his wife and did not mean to kill her, he told of the trouble that he had had with her on occasions before the fatal night of the killing of Columbia, Central America, and in 1915 married the dead woman, Mildred, and they lived at 628 N. Central avenue. On Tuesday, August 8, both he and his wife left the house, she to see about some stock she had bought in the Wonderland back product and be to the picture show. He returned before she did and was with his wife, in conversation, with a white man, came to the house, and not knowing of his presence, entered the kitchen. There was something said by the couple, as he overheard their conversation, about eight dollars promised the woman by the white man. Then he entered the kitchen. The white man, he continued, "made a request to the man, he said again, and I tried to catch the man but he made his message." Hacking then declared he went back into the house and after picking up eight dollars the pair had dropped in their hasty retreat, tried to console his mind by playing solitaire. His wife did not return until the next evening. When she came in he upbraided her and, according to his testimony, when she attempted to shout him with a small creevette he took a window stick and struck it from her hand. Played Solitaire As Wife Died He did not remember striking her but once, he said, and when she fell he went back to the table and continued a game of solitaire he had begun. After completing the game he looked around and she was still lying there. He examined her and finding her dead, heaved her down in the collar. Then after deliberating as to what to do, he pushed her over into one corner and covered her up with some boards. He sat down and wrote a letter to the police telling them that when he killed her sisters he would come back and give himself up. He next went to New York and from there to Norfolk whence he shopped as a sailor traveling to several foreign countries. Mailed On Seas Gut Hawkins was a profiteer letter writer and once when on the high wrist he wore a letter back to a woman he been in Baltimore. Other letters gave the police a clue that he would be back in this county a lookout was ordered resulting in his arrest the weeks ago in Portland, Maine. The body of Mrs. Hawkins was not found until the Saturday following the killing. She was so decompressed at the time that it was thought that she had been shot, a hole in the foreign instrument, had fractured her scalp. After striking her, Hawkins had washed her face and all traces of blood from himself. Blood-stained clothes were found in the cellar with her body. He described the club he used as about 18 inches long and two inches thick. Officers of the police said of the time of the killing also found the club but thinking the woman had been shot did not keep it. Under a severe cross examination by Deputy States Attorney Wells, Hawkins admitted hiding the body and deliberately planning to make good his escape. Sisters of the dead woman told of many murders the couple had had and of threats the man had made. The Morgan College Citizen Campaign Committee's report on progress made to date: $8,017.70 Total cash and subscription $8,074.79 The largest subscription made to date is $1,000, made by Dr. and Mrs. Pezavia O'Connell.

I am an American—a plain American—and one I shall remain in spite of all the attempts to hyphenate me. I am going to fight it out here even as my forefathers did. No one shall make me run." "Yet there are many Negroes who hold really good positions," said the Senator, after a brief interview. He went on to relate some instances he knew of, particularly in Washington. "Yes, there are a good many Negroes who hold fairly good positions," replied Dixon; "but since prejudice is an enemy that will hold open competition, it is often no more than a matter of the most well-married positions. Color negotiation, thus diverting valuable talent into lines of employment that could be filled by persons more fitted for them, is a bad choice. Negroes have little training in technical courses in public schools. One bright colored boy who graduated from a technical school this year, was sent with his classmates to the employeer school, and did not bring niggers, said the man in charge." This weekly short-sighted waste results in a direct loss to the nation. "But so many Negroes are without addition at all," said the Senator. "You said that they are better opportunities in the North but in all the large cities. It seems to me that the proportion of Negroes hanging outside suburbs and battling in good towns was far less those whites doing the same time." crimination against the Negro is even greater. It grows more and more difficult for a colored man or woman to get work except as a hauler or servant, and even in those cases, it is more difficult as an office clerk or stenographer there is almost no opportunity for Negroes in Chicago. With one exception the big business colleges discriminate against colored students. There is small training in technical courses in public schools. One bright colored boy who graduated from a technical school this year, was sent with his classmates to the employeer school, and did not bring niggers, said the man in charge." A child's eyed was heard in the lobby of the car. Dixon asked to be excused and hurried in. A few minutes later he returned, bringing a little negro to the employeer school. "His mamma has train seduces," explained Dixon. The youngster, riding on Dixon's knee and tickled by the Senator, was now laughing and kissing with delight. Dixon, by tossing him and his sister, by tossing them and his sister, had been shining him. Sey asset is often his completion, has no incentive to step out. But today at dinner I head one of the twenty-one are colored men, and porters say: 'What's the use?' There's bacon, with a good objection. There are apparently more men than number work as porters. There are more workers as work as 12. There is not actual setting a bad example to this man! Now, really, can you blame them for this Omar Khayyam outlook? What incentive have Viby? It might be said that these men are competent to membership, but these complain that they are dislike with. Perhaps so; but the duty we owe to our fellowmen is not to throw obstacles in their way, but to encourage them, to fan every spirit of ambition. The aspiring Negro is less desirable severely handcapped in its desire for a less painful and poorly paid occupations. Above to accomplish anything, Negro men—nearly 3,000 in all—these workers are not better paid and less paymates that a great portion of postdocs that in any his energy is lost.

As salespeople, office clerks and stenographers there is almost no opportunity for Negroes in Chicago to get an education, the big business colleges accept the colorized students. There is small encouragement for them to take training in technical courses in published materials, and who graduated from a technical school this year, was sent with his classmates to the employment office of a big corporation. We don't hire immigrants, and we have in charge the students, who had been briefly of the car. Dixon asked to be excused and hurried in. A few minutes later he returned, bringing a baby about eight months old, and has train' sickness" explained Dixon. The youngster, riding on Dixon's time and tickled by the Senator, was now laughing and kicking with his foot. Dixon ridden him around for the past two days, had been spilling him. Several times he had refused to return to his mother. The child soon became sleepy, resting in Dixon's arms, was soon sound asleep. He resumed the reading of the closing: "Out of nearly 4,000 men employed by the express companies, only twenty-one are colored men, and fifteen of that number work as hard as all employed as host-and-shoe-handlers, mail workers, bindery workers, painters, newwear and suspender workers or on the elevated roads. A good many labor unions admit that they are discriminated against, at least in the more difficult and better paid trades, when it comes to setting work. The company that they are discriminated against, in increasing numbers, the less desirable poorly paid occupations. More Negro men—nearly 8,000 in all—work as power and for labor in saloons and poolrooms than in any other. This report, "explained Dixon, "depicts pre-war conditions, but it is substantially true again today. "What do you think of the education of the Negro?" next asked the Sesame Dixon thought the question vague, but answered: "I do not think it ought to differ from that of any other color of mankind. Every human being is permitted to develop his or her fullest powers, in his or her own way. Any agency that prevents this is peremptous in the extreme, [S]t it to the benefit of the state that the Negro is permitted to remain laborers." In the reign of Henry VIII the power classes were not permitted to read the Bible, particularly the New Testament. How do you to today view the Negro? We know that we find men in authority advocating an analogous thing in the non-education of certain citizens. "But the ignorant Negro is the happy Negro," protested the Seminaries, "him is only to make an imamure." "Very well," replied Dixon, "there is this sleepy infant.

"Again with the possible exception of the Latin races, the Caucasian is the unhappiest of all peoples, and the African is the most educated white men any; to do so is only to make them unhappier, what would you think of me? Advocates of non-education are not educated, and regard us in other vital matters and so much genuine solicitude in this that I have begun to suspect that what they really mean is: "Do you want to be educated, and the unhappiest white man unhappier." The Senator did not reply. Dixon on "moreover: The thinker of any color is often unhappy with the injustice of seeing the tussel and the heartaches, the injustices and the greed that go to take up the greater part of our civilization. But, as you say, there is some mercy in this severity of the injustice, while the uneducated Negro of the United States has a far happier lot than any other peasant clan, perhaps in the world, there is no recognition of the injustice of the uneducated Negro. To use an old phrase: he is in advance of his age, that is so far as conditions are governed by the whites. He hacks that association that helps to mend that situation. So Solomon said: "He that increasest knowledge increasest sorrow." This statement is especially true of educated Negroes. The ignorance of white men will continue to be the happier one until we educate or remove the cause that makes the thinking ones of both races unhappy, the white men and women at the top." "A great many advocate only industrial training for the Negro," said the Senator. "What do he think of the slave trade, favoring the enslavement. Since that is the basis of all production, the race will acquire wealth and independence. If the Negro is to be successful among white people, he must create work for himself. The great trouble with the Negro is that it has too many doctors, lawyers and prescribers." (To Be Continued Next Week.) NEW CASTLE, PA. New York, Pa., Dec. 29, 1925.

The Atlantic County Conservative League is the local representative of the new Jersey City, NJ community about a year ago by leading colorado thinkers of this State and eventually the States and a few of the South.

The other positions were programmed through the regular organization Republican channels which virtually assemble the candidates who were dled, however against Mr. Nutter due to the fact that practice still pending against him. All organizations making the objective candidate should receive and it is generally conceived that the vacancy will be filled by a candidate who is a better statistic to a colored man with a better reputation than the Northside leader should receive the appointment. The Northside Press highly recommended it and it seems to be gaining weight as sentiment in his favor is growing.

MISS THELMA MILLER 1619 McCulloh St. Games for Younger Children NOTE: This is the first of a series of "Tag Games." In Tag, one player is "classer," or "it," and tries to touch or "tag" the other players, the one tagged then, becoming classer. There are many kinds of "tag" games, and it adds to the interest and fun to vary them. JAPANESE TAG In this form of the game, whenever a player is touched or tagged he must place his left hand on the spot touched, whether it be his back, knee, chow, tinkle or any other part of The body, and in that position must chase the other players. He is relieved of this position when he succeeds in tagging some one else. As in other tag games, where the are a large number of players, several players take the part of the tagger, or "it" at the same time. NOTE: By-keeping the left hand on the spot tagged the player develops skill and the game is more amusing. Call VErnon 6016 What Baby Said AFRO pays $1 for the best contribution to this column.

Never Again 1 My young son had a most annoying habit of throwing himself upon the floor and screaming and kicking when anything did not suit him. I had tried many different ways to fix it, all of which failed. One day I thought of an idea, which I felt certain would be successful. The next time our young hopeful threw himself upon the floor, I threw myself upon the floor and kicked and screamed in the same way as I did with such actions, and seeing that my offspring seemed to be cured, I crossed from the floor. It was then I discovered I had not only taught my son a lesson, but had put on a free entertainment for an agent, who had invited himself inside the house. Since then I have viewed that never again I be a—MIMIC, Greensboro, N. C. Father, Help! Help One Sunday morning while getting ready for Sunday-school, I went into the bathroom to wash my face. As I was partly dressed I decided to sit on the edges of the bath tub to perform the operation. In doing so I accidentally slipped and fell into the tub in such a manner as to become fast. I wiggled, squirmed and clawed as well as a horribly fat woman could, but all to no avail. I was painting and perspiring with exhaustion, when I heard footsteps outside. Thinking it was my husband, I put all my failing strength in a call for help. Urging him every step to hurry as my position was becoming painful. As my rescuer entered the door, I gasped, then blushed. It was not my husband, but his boss—Jane. There are other Hairdressers but only one POINDEXTER HAIR CULTURIST MANUFACTURER use MADAM B.

PRIZE WINNER A young preacher arose, oops Sunday morning to announce the subject of his sermon, "Brethren and sisters," he said, "the subject of my discourse this morning will be, the world, the Flash, and the Devil." I should make only a few remarks on the world, morely touch on the flesh, and go straight on the devil." MARY L. SMITH Harrisburg, Pa. A little boy, aged six, one day said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, why doesn't hair grow on your head?" Grandpa grows a busy street, my boy! "I see it can't get up thru the concrete." LEON JONES 1217 Myrtle St. Seven years ago a farmer hung his vest on a fence in the barnyard. A calf chewed up a pocket of the garment in which was a standard gold watch. Last week the animal, a stalid old milk cow, was butchered for beef, and the timepiece was found in such a position between the lungs of the cow that the closing in and the filling of the lungs with air, kept the stem winder wound up, and the watch had lost only four minutes in seven years.

Some turn a high card at the top. While others turn a low: While others none can show. In playing some will lead the ace. Their counting card to save: Some play the deuce and some the tray. While others play the knave. Some play for money, some play for fun. And some for worbly fame. And not until the game's played And pleasures deck the hour; No thoughts of sorrow check their joy. In a roses beauteous bower. They laugh and sing, sweet music make. Their cards at random play. And while the hearts remain on top. Their game is but a holiday. When diamonds chance to crown the top. In intent on winning each doth watch His cards with eager eye. That he may watch his neighbor's His cards with clips That he will watch his neighbor's cards. And cheat him on the sky. When clubs are trump, look out for war On ocean or on land; For bloody deeds are often done. While clubs are in the hand. And lives are staked instead of gold. And days are worn out dead; Across the broad Atlantic now, See clubs have got the lead. And last of all the spades. Is turned by hand of time: It always finishes up the game in every land and cline. No matter how a man may win, Or how a man might save, You'll find the spade turns up a last. And digs the gambler's grave.

Love Letter PRIZE WINNER Please answer my last letter, Every day I watch for the mail man, but he doesn't bring me any good news from you. Oh! if you only know how I thirst for a kind word, you would surely write. When you parted friendship with blood, you couldn't understand that I loved you with all my heart and soul. Now dear, listen: "Can't you understand?" When I see that, smiling face, I once called mine and think those same smiles belong to somebody else, it nearly breaks me up. It is really affecting my health, I don't eat, and can't sleep. Think of the difficult condition I am suffering all for the love of you. I beg again, for you to answer my letter. If you do not, my heart will hold the same amount until God removes the blindfold which it beholds tightly around your heart, it beholds our love and keeps us far apart. I am yours as ever.

My nicest compliment came from a man taking names for the city directory, and was unintentional on his part. I have been married three years and am the mother of a 2-year-old daughter. But my hair is bobbed, and on the morning of which I speak I had on a midday suit, the skirt of which was extremely short. When he rang the bell, I opened the door, and he said, "Good morning little girl, is your mother at me?" If You'd Keep Your Teeth. By Dr. Clifford Robinson The ordinary person in the good old days didn't think much about danger from pyrohera. Pyrohera is as old as man, the Scriptures say, but so is almost every other disease. We are not so much concerned with its ancient history as with its prevention and cure at the present time. Pyrohera is the chief, or at least one of the chief, causes for the loss of our teeth. One by one they drop away without any special warning after the first alarm. If you have a cavity in one of your teeth, have it attended to at once. Decay of your teeth is bad, but pyrohera is much more so. It starts as a one-tooth dissection and remains on your condition and strength of resistance. Then it generally spreads to another tooth and another until the last one goes, and you have to buy a set. Strange, but true, the disease never attacks all the teeth at the same time, so there is hope. To prevent this unpleasant condition from becoming a reality in your own case, go at once to your dentist at the first sign of pain or tender or bleeding gums. Have the scale removed from the root and you may check it. If another tooth becomes tender and infected, have the process repeated. Better prevention is to clean the mouth and teeth thoroughly after each meal, also at night and in the morning. Visit your dentist two or three times a year for examination and cleaning. This disease may be checked by proper treatment and careful diet for system upbuilding.

Jack Thomas wave the baton over a chorus of 400 and a band and orchestra of 100 others. Baltimore has never witnessed such an outpouring for a musical concert, and when that band and orchestra and chorus performed together, they fairly took the roof off the armory. This was especially true in “Listen To The Lambs,” which Mr, Nathaniel Dett, of Hampton, composed and personally directed. Mrs, Florence Cole Talbert with an ostrich feather fan and a dream of a dress, sang her way into my heart with her “Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark,” and Dett struck the piano so hard during his solo that one ef the legs of the piano went right through the stage. Colonel Bowie in charge of the armory would not let the “Y” people start to get things ready until 11 o'clock. Thursday night, so Secretary S. S. Booker and 20 carpenters worked all night and a large part of Friday putting up the stage. After that they put 5,000 chairs, which they hired at 8 cents a piece, into place before they knocked off. A group of schoo! marms afforded the audience a little merriment when they sat down in a group of seats alloteé and marked for the Peerless Glee Club. They would not get up for 'Fesser George Murphy, so not be- ing a policeman he found the Peerless ones seats some- where else. [HIRD ROW—J. A. JACKSON, PITTS, C, J. SMITH, W. DERRITT, PIERCE.

L. H. DAVENPORT Athenian Arrows 1922 ARROWS TRIM "Y" BIG FIVE 34-17 Y. M. C. A. Overcomes All Handicaps and-Put Up Great Game Against Junior "Greeks" Before an enthusiastic gallery, the Athenian Arrows trimmed the "Y" Big Five in an AFPO League basketball titlet at the "Y" "gym" Monday night, 34-17. Although they were on the short end of the score, the "Y" cagers were victorious, in defeat, so to speak, for they played in a stream of hard luck from the start. It began with the Arrows refusing to allow "The" Shields to play because he is a member of the Athenian Club and so termed a "professional" (the Athenians deny being professions.) Finally Jenkins, a kid player, was substituted for Shields, and the game began. Later on Tom Hayes succeeded in collecting four personal fouls and had to leave the lineup. This left the team with only four men as they had no "subs" to send in. After some dickering between the league authorities and the Referee Gillons, Hayes was allowed to return. But fate was determined that the team should play under the handicap, so "Herb" Laughley contributed some rough work shortly after Hayes came back into the game and was out. It was in shooting, however, that the "Y" had fell down so disastrously, they negotiating perfect set-ups but could not put the pellet into the bottomless aperture, even while stationed right in the cellar. On the other hand, the Arrows did some snappy-sharp shooting, scoring a total of fourteen goals from outlying territory against six by the "Y" Cagers. Baker was the stab flicker, heaving in a total of eight. LINE-UP Arrows "Y" Big Five Madden R.P. Glover Baker L.P. Hayes Walther C. Langley Fanaterley L.G. Johns Howard R.G.

Now this phase of the question will probably be forgotten, the Negro delegates from the South getting their plums and the South saying the right to disfranchise the masses. Those familiar with Republican politics know that much room has been given in the past for some of the criticism of rottenness that has characterized Southern delegations. On the other hand, the influence of some colored men with high ideals who have been able to dominate the party in the South has been of inestimable value. Until the party is willing, therefore, to perform its duty in seeing that colored citizens in the South are granted the right to vote, giving them a full measure of voice in the National Convention is about the least they can do.

In the meantime there is much idle land and unbounded opportunity for local dairy farmers to earn these profits. Negroes are producing a very small percentage of the dairy products consumed in the State. Truck and dairy farming are passing into the hands of highly organized groups of aliens. This is unfortunate, especially when we have agricultural schools at Hampton and Princess Anne that are turning out scientific farmers. The fault probably lies in the lack of proper organization. It would pay Baltimore and other large cities to organize farm bureaus and help develop farm life among colored people. We wonder also is the Federal farm loan fund working practically to help the Negro farmer? Wherever the fault lies something should be done to stimulate and direct the growth of practical farming in this State.

No such thing happened. Probably this is the true version: Joseph Pullen made a crop. Then it was "aught's an anught; and figure's a figure. All for the white man and none for the Nigger." Perhaps Pullen then kept back a bushel or two of corn or a pig to bring Christmas cheer. Such impudence could not be tolerated in the Mississippi delta. So the white planter shouldered his faithful shot gun and went over to make the usual kind of settlement between white planters and colored tenants in those parts. No colored tenant can DISPUTE the figures of a white man there, and get away with it. But Pullen did. There followed the regular mob. Two more are killed because in his desperation Pullen knew that his fate in this world had been sealed. And with the lynching or execution of Pullen ends one of those usual tragedies that prevent us from looking on some sections of this country as worthy to hoist the American Flag.

Very truly yours, J. M. DAVIS, Jr. PH. G. Bedford, Va. We Count In Rare Good Fortune to State That "Old Timer" is a Real Character and No Make-Believe.

(Mrs.) VIOLA BLAIR BANS. Washington, D. C. A Joy for Every Sorrow, Even Up, Without a Doubt, says Atlantic Rhymster. It's a rather even break, that I would name the thing called life, for it's so much like a balance, all this peace-making and strife, with the heart-rends and the estates and countless joys and pains and the blings and the bumps and the gains. If a fellow takes his sorrows and subtracts his pleasants, there's a very little difference that a body ever sees. If a shaker tosses duty "to the four winds" as they say, in his place, springs up inside the day. So it seems in every instance when you think the blamed thing out, there's a joy for every sorrow: even up, without a doubt. WILLIAM FERNANDO GRIFFIN 29 North Ohio Avenue, Atlantic City, N. J. Thinks Ministry Has - Enough To Do Without Regulating Dance Parties for Women. In the AFRO-AMERICAN dated 7th December, 19th under the caption WOULD EAR DANCING, we note that a prominent New York Baptist minister said, women should not be permitted to dance except with their sons, husbands and brothers. Such a diction to our mind seems to be absurd, especially when it comes from such a high source. Without question the ministry is the highest calling to which one may devote his life. Being such we believe, a minister should exercise his intelligence and broad-mindedness. This gentleman seems to desire to deal with women as though they were babies. By "PERMITTING" them to dance at all, he is admitting that dancing is not an evil. Since it is not an evil within itself why should a woman's rights? She has the right to school and to worship her husband and wife, ship God as she sees it, so why not let her decide with whom she wants to dance? There are too many BIG issues a minister may attack if he desires to help his people. Some of them are : Bootlegging, Lynching, Educational Facilities, Our People, A Higher Standard of Ministry, Fewer Divorces and How the Church can best fulfill its mission. We believe if a girl has the proper home training and a right education, Facilities, Conspect to social, political, religious and moral affairs, when she shall have reached womanhood, no one will have to dictate to her, with whom she should dance. Her choice of selection will care for that. SAMUEL J. BASKERVILLE, Dental School, Howard Univ. Washington, D.C. Thinks President, Coolidge Ears Gravely In His Belief That the Race Problem is Sectional and Can Be Worked Out Only By Local Communities. In his message to Congress, President Coolidge devotes a paragraph beginning: "Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people." He goes on to say that "on account of the migration of large numbers into industrial centers it has been proposed that a composition of members from both the United States andulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence. Such an effort is to be commended. But it is well to recognize that these difficulties to a large extent are local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forcance and human kindness of each community. Don't there an echo of the old injustice, injustice, injustice, before the Civil War, regarding so-called Negro question in President Coolidge's words? And doesn't he, inadvertently perhaps, take the position of the slaveholding Southerners who resented the idea that the question of human slavery was a national problem. The historic "State rights" position toward the Negro, which had to be settled by the Union, was the basis of lives on the battlefields of the South, appears to be reviewed by the expression "local problems" used by the President. His apparent attitude of mind in this matter, indirect opposition to Abraham Lincoln's conviction that the Negro problem of his day could be solved only on the broad basic proposition that this nation could not endure half slave and half free is sure to antagonize, and rightly all Americans. The Negro in our American civilization must be determined from a national and not a sectional standpoint. When General Hancock, the Democratic candidate for President, asserted that "the tariff is a local issue, lost all chance that he had ever had of election. The country at large, a man who was his heir in statesmanlike perfection that he could confound in his mind an issue that was nationwide in is scope from one that had merely local significance. It would prove absolutely disastrous for the Republican Party to nominate for President a candidate who fails to realize that so far as there is support with our Negro brethren it, and must always be, a national and not a sectional question. ARTHUR B. MURTHA He Tries to Please Everybody CONGRESS SHOULD LEGISLATE AGAINST LYNCHING HURRAH! HURRAH! FOR OUR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN BUT THE RAGE QUESTION IS A LOCAL PROBLEM HURRAH! HURRAH! FOR OUR PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN DAY BY DAY By WM. N. JONES When more than two thousand years ago Christ came to the world for the first time in the history of human relations the minds of men began to turn towards a time when men would live in peace and have common interest. "Pace On Earth, Good Will To Men," is the deepest and most abiding motive of the Christian faith; therefore, it is not out of place, therefore, rolls around to take stock of the progress the march of man is making towards this goal. Those of us who must review each day the tragedies of human relations through the world are likely to look with possistic feelings as to the uncertain fate of universal and good will, but there are many things that Christ did not hear the Cross and drink the call in vain. While nations still clutch each other by the throat and races of men still hold on to cruel and inhuman prejudices, through these conflicting forces of right and wrong may be clearly discerned the unyielding factors that bore the human soul in a better and more peaceful world. Human slavery has gone forever and in its wake follows many of the kindred abuses that limited the free development of every human being. Government by force is giving way to the rule of people, things and tyrants have, and our life curtains call on the mercy of life. Here and there selish interests desperately cling on, but the onrush of human freedom have sealed their doom forever. Still struggling, of course, are human rights, but struggling towards a better day. A height star still shines in the East, and we are in the midst of a newer world; a world where love shall take the place of hate; where racial and group prejudices shall give way to the common interests of all human beings; and where the product and benefits of human endeavor shall be honestly distributed. In this world we shall replace the worst survival of the littest with that of the fitting of all to survive. We will need fewer jails, insane asylums and human sweat shops. And lest we forget, let us all remember at this Christmas tide to renew our obligation and responsibility in hastening the advent of this coming era. It has been a peculiar fact of Negro life that much of the real talent in the race is unknown until discovered by some white group. As a poet Paul Laurence Dunbar was known but for the public appreciation he first drew from white audiences. Now comes Countee P. Cullen and a week after his discovery by the Poetry Society his diverses are read and appreciated throughout the colored reading That Negro journals are now giving more and more space to young talent of the race is hopeful. We are thus becoming sure of ourselves and by laying the foundation for a fundamental race consciousness that is bound to greatly enrich American literature. A national poetry society presenting a national prize might not be a had idea among colored people themselves. Europe is threatened with her first labor cabinet. As a result of the recent English election the King must bow to the will of the people and transfer the government from the conservative wing of the Parliament to the radical labor group. Even the less radical liberal group did not merge with sufficient strength to command federal power in British affairs. This is making history. This is one step further in the losing grip autocracy has maintained. Colored people interested in the future of France will wonder what effect the defent of her British friends will have on her and Germany. It will have a lot, and France probably trembles in her shoes. Already her policy is showing a change. What interests of France have feared is that her government in Germany and her subsequent rise to the strongest position in Europe would unite the Peace On The Earth Negro Talent Gets A Shock rest of the white world against her and destroy her in the next war. This would be bad for the colored races throughout the world. Senator Bruce Bolts His Party Senator William Cabel Bruce, of Maryland, exercised his right to express his convictions in Congress last week and change his vote for Chairman of the Inter-State Transportation Committee from Senator Smith, a Democrat from South Carolina, to a Republican. The result has been the subject of much discussion, abuse and criticism. Strangely enough, much of the discussion has centered about party regularity rather than the merits of Smith or Cummings as chairman of the Committee. This incident not only shows the courage and strength of Senator Bruce, this with the fact that Republican absentee votes with the committee for Smith, demonstrates that the days of party slavery are over. In the last Presidential campaign, George R. James, an outstanding white Democrat in Tennessee, helped the Republicans carry that State for Harding. In that campaign he stated that more would be be the slave of If in the South and North public men and women, both white and colored, place the interest of the country above party loyalty, the outcome would be a more rigid response to the will of the people on the part of the party leaders. While we believe the interest of the country as affected by this powerful Inter-State Transportation Committee, would be better served and more progressive chairman, even a Democratic progressor, we honor Senator Bruce for his independence. It may be needed further on. Items From the Afro-American of December 28, 1908 Twenty-three paintings of Henry O. Tremblay, a child in New York.

Restoration of Southern representation in the Republican National Convention is a great victory. If the Negro loses out politically in the South, where he is, he will also lose out in the North, where he is not. National Republican Committee The National Republican Committee has just concluded an important session in the city of Washington. The city of Cleveland was selected as the place of the next convention instead of Chicago, which seems to have a monopoly on that privilege. The colored cohorts were out in full. They came from the various States and sections to put themselves in evidence and to advocate the cause of the race. The one big question that most vitally concerned them was the question from the Southern States, where the Republican party flourishes but beeyoung. The last Republican convention had already limited the number by a considerable reduction. The sub-committee had voted to still further reduce them almost to the vanishing point. The committee looked dark and bloodied. The sub-committee was regarded as an accomplished fact. At the time the action had been taken, Henry Lincoln Johnson made a most eloquent and logical appeal on behalf of the disfranchised brother, but to no avail. But the politician never dies until he is dead. They decided by united council to make one final decision. They who have been frightened to lose, so that everything was risked on one final throw of pitch and toss. They knew full well that if the Negro lost out as a delegate from the South, where he formed the bulk of the party's strength, he would be all but wholly eliminated from public office, as essential factor. In the North and West, where his rights are undisputed, his relative numbers are too small to impress any directive influence upon the policy of the party. If the Negro loses out in the South where he is, he will also lose out in the North where he is. Furthermore, if the Republican party is willing to disfranchise the Negro in the National Convention because the South fragmently violates the amendments to the Constitution, such an encouragement to them for over-riding the law, which the Republican party enforced. At Whitelaw Hotel But to shorten a long story, the Negro contingent met, at the Whitchaw Hotel, which has become the national headquarters of the political leaders of the race, and blocked out a plan of proceedure. The chairman of the committee granted them a hearing, and it seemed, as an act of courtesy, they agreed that the case should be presented to the full committee by Roscoe Conkling Simmons, chief, re-enforced by Lincoln Johnson and Dr. Cannon, of New Jersey. Those who heard it to the height of the occasion and with torrents of rhetoric and oratory that could not be resisted, swept everything before him. Lincoln Johnson followed in his imminible way in a ten minute speech, pointing both the legal and sentimental aspects of the Negro claim. Following Dr. Cannon told what damning effect the proposed reduction would have upon the Negro voters of the The next morning The Pepper proviso was adopted, which, to the future Negro politician will have something of the significance and effect of the famous Wilmot Proviso. Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment providing (but no Congressional trust) should he without a delegate in the National Republican Convention. This was adopted and is the rule governing the selection of delegates for the approaching contest. This gives to the South, not indeed, its full quota as in previous quadrenniums, but a gratifying representation based upon congressional apportionment rather than upon political expediency. The majority leaders are occupied at the triumph, and regard this as the greatest political victory since the days of reconstruction. Walter Cohen Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, looking the well-bred and well-fed Southern gentleman that he is, was conspicuous among the Afro-American reinforcements of the Republican gathering. He is here primarily to give cheer and comfort to his political brother, to add the weight of his influence to thwart the reduction of Southern representation's purpose of his mission is to look after his own confirmation as naval officer of the Port of New Orleans. The bravest act of the late President Harding, and the act for which the Negro race should thank him most, was his appointment of Walter Cohen to an important political office in the South. President Taft had adopted the policy of eliminating the race from office holding in that section on the ground that it gave offense to the white people. I suppose that this is the only instance in our political history where an administration refrained from appointing Republicans to office because their selection offended Democrats. Taft was succeeded by Woodrow Wilson, who, of course, followed that policy as part of the Democratic political creed. The Republican party had come to look with approval upon the Taft policy as the easiest way to deal with the troublesome political phase of the race problem in the South. It would have been easy indeed, for Mr. Harding to take up the policy and predecessor. He would have incurred any serious criticism, even from the Negro if he had declined to open up the question of holding office in the South. The mind of the Negro has become quite reconciled to that fate. Senatorial Courtesy But in spite of all sorts of threats and evil predictions the name was sent to the Senate. An overwhelming Republican majority failed to confirm the nomination on the ground of senatorial courtesy. The senators from Louisiana for obvious political reasons dejected the nominee personally objecting to the absurd rule of senatorial courtesy this was sufficient to cause his rejection. This is the second instance in which the Negro has fallen victim to the fiction of senatorial courtesy. The Senate refused to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds, because the Democratic Senator from Georgia lodged the specious plea of personal objection. No Senator is called upon to explain the nature of his objection. Now they have the frankness or the courage to hate their objection upon race and color. To base objection openly on these grounds would be contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter of the Constitution. And so being white men together the Democratic senators are allowed to hide behind the shadow of a hollow pretense to defeat the confirmation of a colored nominee, Seldom, of ever, is a white man defecated for confirmation by such sinister means. President Coolidge insisted that do credit to his New England traditions, has sent Cohen's name to the present session of the Senate. If the Republican party allows his defeat a second time, without valid reason the colored voter in the approaching election will doubtless ask some embarrassing questions. Segregation In the city of Washington, the Capitol of the Nation, there is now passing through the courts the test of legality of certain agreements as covincent among policemen to abolished people from purchasing or renting property in certain prescribed areas. These cases have more than a local interest. Since the Supreme Court overthrew the ordinances of segregation as being unconstitutional, the Nexro population have been seeking some device by which the same end might be accomplished without incurring the constitutional prohibition. If the capital of the nation should pass the first to device such a separative scheme, the rest of the nation would imitate the evil example with great satisfaction and acclaim. The civil rights associations and the citizens in general are pledged to fight the movement with all possible vigor. The Negroes in our country will look on this procedure with self-interested seriousness. James A. Cobb, Esq. The whole race owes a debt of gratitude to James A. Cobb, Esq., who has been fighting the legal battles of the race almost single handed and alone. Mr. Cobb devotes a large proportion of his time towards the civil rights of the disabled and the terrested service, he sets a noble example for the Negro lawyer everywhere to follow. Political Leadership It was noticeable among the Negro political leaders above referred to that they were not in quest of jobs but the welfare of the race. They were men of means and substance outside of the field of politics, and most of them encouraged sign. The political spokesmen of the race cannot hope to succeed in demanding and begging at the same time. THE WHATNOT COLUMN (By Robert P. Edwards for The Associated Negro Press) 70—What was the 'Legal Rights Association?' 'The Legal Rights Association' was a society formed for the purpose of asserting the legal status of the colored United States.

His attempts, by means of spies and various other designs proving unsuccessful; he sought to give drawn battle, and was terribly taken at the basis of Ammon in the Turtles' War. 81-When was and what is Liberia? Liberia is a Negro republic of western Africa, on the upper coast of upper Guinea. It was founded by the American Colonization Company. The first expedition of 86 emigrants was sent out in February 1820. The suffering that slavery brought upon the Negro aroused his friends and following the plan, of Wilberforce and other Englishmen, Liberia was founded as a refuge for the colored men who would avail themselves of its blessings.
