Give Only 5,000. $400.00 "Of the $1,500 increase of salaries at employees on the Hill, little more than 10% of teachers who signed the original memorial. It would appear that we shared the increase with the Hill. It might not be for increase in salaries. "We are naturally curious to know what is applied. As the whole amount was allocated to the "increase of salaries at full fill," we take for granted the best it went to the other employee, who is the principal beneficiary of our memorial. "The recent apportionment of salaries at full fill, the longevity, experience or attainment, is humilitates the just dignity and the prosperity of our employees to have the administration piece of their pay by dolling out a few dollars more according to its good will and pleasure.

Captain Boosted by Friends For Berth of Colonel. New York, Dec. 24.—(Afro Bureau) — Leading colored politicians throughout the State of New York are now again agitating the very lively issue of a full fledged colored regiment for the State as prescribed by the law and a memorial is being prepared by some New York City civic organizations to be forwarded to Governor Smith urging its organization. The 369th Infantry, formerly the 15th Regiment of New York City, is being pointed to as a fully equipped colored regiment with newly built modernized quarters, located in the colony designated for Herbert. The regiment does not meet the requirements of the law as it is commanded mostly by white officers with a white colonel. This particular feature is said to be very distantable to the better classes of colored people of New York city particularly, and those of the state in general. The success of this city, one of the strongest political and civic organizations in the State, has on a former occasion called the public's attention the day before that the erection of the new armory at the time and the State Executive promised to give it his attention Fillmore Is Urged Colonel Charles W. Fillmore, the ranking colored officer of the State is being urged by prominent colorado leaders to defend the ambassador of the regiment. Advocates of a colored regiment regard Colonel Fillmore in the best and most likely way to defend the nation, because of his unusual military qualifications and gentlemanly bearing. Colonel Fillmore-is of a very refined western (Ohio) colored who bear the mark of aristocracy. Barred from West Point, he nevertheless, possesses both the ability and record of a soldier of that insti- Served In Spanish War was during the events successive to the Maline and the subsequent declaration of war with Spain that he offered his services to his Government. President McKinney sent his man, the Lieutenant of the 9th U. S. Infantry. He served with this organization during the Spanish War, and he commanded Generals Lawton and Wood first as a battalion adjutant and then as a company commander. He occupied a position in the U. S. Treasury Department at Washington, after which he secured a transfer to the Army. When Colonel Hayward was designated by Governor Whitman to organize the 15th New York Infantry, he was commissioned senior commander. He served with it in most of its engagements overseas. During the battle of the Champagne he was cited for bravery by General Petain, commanding the Croix de Guerre. For the remainder of the war he served on the staffs of General Balleau, the 9th Division, and Col. Roberts, of the 37th U. S. Infantry. Returning to civil life again, Col. Fillmore was appointed an auditor for the New York State Income Tax Bureau, where he held the position of business management, efficiency and economy, a rare quality much sought for by commercial enterprises. Started by Southermorns The town in reality started by colored people from the South who became residents of New York. It is said that colored tax payers in the South do not tolerate colored soldiers under command of white officers. Charles Fillmore was in line for the position soon after the passage of the bill calling for a colored regiment, but refused because of white casualties over some of the colored menaces.

By BEN TAYLOR Manager, 1924, Washington Powers In the following articles I will attempt to give the fans of the country what I am calling a review of the Eastern League. I will confine my bit strictly to the playing end of the game, as it in a vole was the only game I ever lost, considerable money trying to put over a winner. Seaboard Loop As the Seaboard club was composed of eight clubs the past season I have decided to take up each club as my own club and then them in the order of their finish in the race just closed. The work of each player will be reviewed as air time is paid and skillability. I am working entirely from memory, and what I am saying is the results of observations made by me during actual league games. These articles are not meant to create any feeling of animosity because of some criticism I may make concerning some player, but I am much about one as I do the other, neither do I wish for some player to get to the "Big" head because he is praised the game, or pitching, for the public causes little for your past record if you fail to deliver that base hit in a pinch, or make an error and lose the game, or least pitching, for. Ball players are servants of the people, so to speak, and must look to be criticised, but we, I say we, because I am also numbered among the best players in the league bused, as some fans insist on doing. Hilldale. Champions Hilldale, by finishing first draws the first assignment. william bates took the second. Few fans appreciate the worth of this sterling backstop, or may say fans in general do not like it, as it is generally called, was to his club the past season. He is charged with the loss of the game in Chicago that would have won the World's championship for his club and the Eastern League that happened during that history making series, and some of the other things he was directly responsible for during his club to win some of the games. Santon, 16 Years a Catcher "Top" has been in harness continuously for 16 years, and most of the time he was first string catcher for the club he was with, that means he caught on an average of 90 games a year, a grand total of 1,440 games. In point of service he is also the oldest catcher in the league, slow of foot because of his weight, and also because his long service as the "Truckhorse" as we ball players cut the catchers. He is one of the most feared men at bat in baseball, and with his all around knowledge of batters, and pitchers, even when he is no longer able to take his regular turn behind the bat he would be and asset as a coach and pinch hitter. I consider Santop of great catcher, not the greatest but one of the best we have ever had. Joe Lewis, his understudy, is yet a youngster, having served his first year in the big league last season. He made a favorable impression in the few games he worked, getting better toward the last of the season, he is a natural hitter and a good receiver and will become day be a star. His throwing is not up to standard, and he does not think quite fast enough, but those things can be overcome by hard work. Mackey Fits Anywhere Mackey and Allen alternated at first, with Mackey playing it regular toward the end of his worst seasons so far as injuries and sickness is concerned, so that sterling utility player, Bizz Mackey, at last took. So well did he fit in, that he was kept there in most of the remaining games. Big is the only place you put him on the ball field, but personally, I think he is at his best behind the bat, and fiba is not. But his uneasy ability to fit in anywhere on the diamond was a big factor in keeping him closed up, great fielder, but woftiful weak at bat, and slow on the bases. He would be a valuable asset to any club that did not need a hard hitting first Captain Warfield At second we have Captain Warfield. "Nuff said." He is in a class by himself. He is in a second baseman. He has speed, is good on ground balls and probably the best pop fly chaser in the league. He is in a second baseman, he has probably leading the league in stolen bases. So far as his managerial ability is concerned, I was very much impressed and while I cannot call him a great manager yet, I think the stuff is there, and if given the reins a few more history, I will be more likely to endure. Incidentally I will pause here long enough to say that Warfield received his early training under that great leader and tutor, the late C. I. Stevens. Shortstop Stevens at short played great ball after he joined the club in mid-season. He is fact, covering a world of talent, and is the best arm. With Warfield and Stevie second and short is well guarded. They were famous for double plays. Stevens to Warfield was the first familiar phrase. They were rated the best double-play killers in the east last season. At Ballard, of Wellington, Dal, a youngster well able to take care of himself. While we will not class him as the best, we cannot do him just as well as other third baseman. Therefore, Call VErnon 6016 The Dixie Kid BROOKLYN Baltimore middleweight, who is training George Chaney.—Photo by Stevens. will say he is as good as we have in the game today. World's Best Outfield In the outfield we have Thomas in left, fast on foot, with a fair throwing arm, a dangerous man at but, of no slugger type. George of the center, a big fast man on the bases, another big fast man with a good throwing arm and one of the best judges of fly balls I have ever seen. A fair batter is liable to back off in the post any way. Little Otto Briggs is in right, a good fielder and extra good hitter, with a weak arm, a hard man to hit, and a good fielder, one of the best leadoff men in the game. That is the outfield Rube Foster says is the best in baseball because of their great work in the 11 innings. The best in baseball City. I will let that severely alone, but will say it is one of the best we have had the pleasure of seeing, and sometimes last season the work of a great player. The best augmented by one "Big" George Curr, probably the fastest big man in baseball. He is also a man on the bases. Curr was also utility first baseman and catcher. And now we are down to the pitchers, which is, no doubt, the big game. Pitching has been variously estimated by experts to be anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of a ball game. We have plenty of "stuff" on the old pill. With Winters, Lee, Currie, Cockrell, Ryan and Campbell, Hilldale has the lead of the niftier corps of hurlers in the league. We have to lead the procession. "Nip" was by far the most effective pitcher in the Seahawks loop the past season and has the most opportunity. I would drop in to see a game in Dario, which was quite often, as the Potomac headquarters pitcher for Hilldale. Winters and Santon. I began to think all other pitchers and they had only one left, and to top it all off he came very near winning a world's championship for his club single-handed. Our hat is on him, the players, may he live long and prosper. Script Lee, Second Beat I class Script Lee next in order, not only on his work in the world's sports, but also on the invasion and he always gave me the imposition of a man that knew what he was about. He has a world of stuff and one of the best change of places faced, and I have faced all the best. Ryan and Cockrell come next. Both are smart pitchers in the golf games. Both are also veterans in the game, having close to 10 years serving in the different cockrell depending on the "Spitball" while "Red" uses the old "Hook" and his pet, which he calls the "Fork" ball to dazzle the enemy. Currie a Comer Currie a Comer was a newcomer from the West, where he was the "Ace" for the Kansas City Monarchs, season of 1923, did not hit his stride, and in other seasons I can truthfully say that he is one of our very brightest stars, and will be heard from in the future. He did good work in the Winter in that all colored classic. Campbell, a Recruit The youngest member of the pitching staff is Campbell, sometimes called "Bullet," he also depends on a coach. He is "stuff" and some day should be a star. He was with the Washington Potomac, season of 1923, but was not a starter. He finished Hildale, except the bat boy, and I cannot recall his name, but he was also a championship timber, it was the best bat boy, the Black Sox claiming that they had the edge there anyway. I will now sum up by the pennant, the best pitcher, the pennant. The Potomacs played them 10 league games, won four and lost six. My club played great ball in all the games, and especially so in the championship play of the champions could not be denied when games needed to be played. He was all. Next week I will take up the Baltimore Black Sox. Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 24. Jimmy Dougherty, who manages Goodyear Goddess, has hopes of matching Goddess with Harry, Willis, but the match seems The Pitchers Dr. Budd Says Row Among College Athletic Officials Will Hurt Sport Howard University's withdrawal from the Colored Intercollegiate Association appears a sensible and courageous step. In place there is need of renaming the association because so many of its members are schools where secondary pupils predominate. In respect of reflective people it will divide its teams into two groups—one composed of college athletes or school or preparatory athletes. The two should never be allowed to compete on the same team. One of the same members of the preparatory schools should be barred from athletic teams of Howard and Lincoln. Think of it, an intercollegiate association assigns high schools, normal schools, colleges, theological seminaries and law and medical schools—all jumple up in How. In heaven or earth could any eligibility rules be devised to work well and please all of these diverse elements. The first place in "a prep" has no business playing on a college team or against college men. It is not good from a physical standpoint for high school boys to compete against In addition men in professional schools have had their chance in athletics and should give way to college men. Let college men play against college men, preps against preps, and the question of eligibility can be settled overnight. The Miller Case Now, as to the motives of Howard's resignation from the I. C. A. A; the immediate cause was what is known as the Miller case. DETROIT STARS QUIT LEAGUE Intention to Come East Chicago, Ill., Dec. 26.—Charges and counter charges are flying thick and intense at the National Negro League, of which Andrew Rubo Foster is president. During the meeting of the Eastern and Western clubs in Chicago the Detroit Stars, the New York Giants, has withdrawn from the association and Cleveland Memphis, Cubans and Birmingham are also on the verge of quitting the league. In a lengthy statement made to the press by the Detroit owner some sensational charges are made in regards to the running of the West- Blount was called to task by Foster for releasing his players on the 15th of last September when they were under contract. Blount explained this by saying that all of the players agreed to his plan of beginning with September 18 and all of the receipts of games beginning with September 18, the men. This had the advantage of the co-operative plan in which the players and owner split the gross receipts after all of the games. It developed that Lewis, of the Memphis club; Dorsey, of Cleveland, and Rush, of Birmingham, had disbanded their clubs early in September, as Blount in the matter of salaries. Mr. Blount said: "On Friday morning, December 6, 1924, I was called to Detroit on urgent business matters and did not attend the meeting on Friday. I was in the baseball season. Foster after finding out that I had decided to quit baseball, wrote to the Detroit players and told them to send in their contracts and that they would be disbanded before the beginning of the season from me after I had disbanded my ball club. "After I had left Chicago Foster proceeded to take the steps he took and to try and show the baseball players what he claims is due them by January 1, 1925, he would drop the Detroit Stars from the League, when in fact they would be suspended in 1924, and today there is not one player under contract to me for the season of 1925 and every player of last season is a free agent and can sign with the other players Mark Park, the home of the Detroit Stars, is for rent. Other Clubs Involved "My contention is this: If the Detroit players are right in their claim made by Foster, then in fairness Birmingham clubs, after taking all receipts, those clubs are entitled to the same consideration. I will state that I was never put in jail for not playing, and my player as was done to Foster." "If Foster can prove one statement false that is made by me in this article, I am willing to deposit a certified check of newspaper that he may name, and if they decide that I have misstated one fact in this article, can take the money deposited, and give it to any charitable organization that they think worth it. I have been in City of Detroit also in his home city, Chicago, and the courts in both States are open to him for redress."

The whole Intercollegiate Association got on its ears, claiming Miller ineligible under rule 10, on the basis that he must be Howard one year before he can play. Dr. Davis Replies Dr. E. P. Davis, Howard graduate manager, replied in this fashion: "Howard, although having no secondary school-makes no demand that secondary students in other institutions be debarred from in-person classes, in spite of this amenable attitude of ours, the Association teams, which themselves have no three-year rule, attempt to vote that no student-in-printerschool school or college—who was a member of a C. I. A. a team, the year before, filled the position during the year at Howard. It is and has been our belief that a freshman coming here from anywhere at all should have the right to play until we ourselves adopt the three-year rule. We compromised the matter by May 10, 1924, that "A. preparatory student who plays one on a C. I. A. a team, will not have that year counted against him in the department of any other institution of the Association."—Art VI, See II. (A) 4. This provision applies if it did not appear in the 1923 rules. It was put in at our insistence COACH MARTIN OF SHAW PICKS ALL N. G. TEAM R. E. M. Wilson ..... Durham State R. E. Hill .....

Certainly we would like to hear from the C. I. A.

Footballs be like basketball, a big sport—a public attraction that will support the rest of the school's athletic program. The public has an interest in behalf of the agreement between Howard and the I. C. A. A.

Brown plays a driving game which calls for speed and more speed. He calls it the Western method, but it has been in vogue in the East for some time, but no among colored players.

This drawing was so realistic that it was reproduced in the Amsterdam News. New York, week before last. However, the New York paper forgot to give the AFRO credit for the drawing.

LITTLE TO PROMOTE TENNIS National Guard Officer To Teach Driving Game In Harlem's Black Belt PLAN MEET IN SPRING First National Indoor Tennis Meet To Be Held on Ten Courts at 15th Reg. Armory Ey EDGAR C. BROWN National Singles Champion, 1922-23 New York City, Inc. 23-Col. Joe Johnson, commanding the Fifth Army, commanding the National Guard of New York State, has succeeded in building in the heart of Harlem 4545 stairs to the highest armory in America for his regiment and for the promotion of indoor tennis among his soldiers and the public. Colonel Little did not stop, however, when he had provided a spacious, modern, up-to-date armory and indoor grill said for own men the most comfortable other ways service could be rendered to not only the two million colored people of Greater New York State, but your people have any facilities for playing tennis all the year round? Conference Called When the colored officers of the regiment reported that tennis among the men was great and handicapped because they played on playground play and secondly no coacher devoted themselves to the instruction in the Modern American driving game and emphasized the theory of Raymond Little's "Tennis Tactics" then Colonel Little, the tennis enthusiast, said. I will investigate this matter, and among the persons call to servant on ways and means to stimulate better tennis and "real" tennis with the especial objective be couragement of some promising youngster who will go out for the tennis, eligibility for Davis Cup competition and the world's championship. Instructors Named To make a rather long story short 10 indoor courts have been lined of at the armory. Mrs. Helen G. Kitt ridge, one of the best exponents of the modern driving game both in theory and practice in the East, and the Coach of Columbia University with two assistants have been se- cured by Colonel Little, to not only teach the members and officers of the regiment, but special provisions have been made for a National Ind- oor Tennis Meet in the spring of 1925. Vincent Richards, of Yonkers, the Anderson brothers, of New York, and a number of the leading players of the continent will be invited to dem- onstrate their games during the coming weeks. William T. Tilden, 2nd, of Philadelphia, has not yet returned from California. Special plans to give accommodation to promising players free of all expense that the future may com- pare favorably with the tennis or other world leaders are now being worked out and officers of the Amer- ian Tennis Association are to be asked for their recommendations. Praise Merited Colonel Little has merited the highest praise from the whole country in his unstinted interest in making possible such a worthy and compelling development of tennis among the citizens of our country whose athletes have won laurels in every phase of professional and amateur sport that they have won.

MOTON REMINISCENT Recalls Days As Physical Director And Six Summers At Harvard. Talladega, Ala., Dec 26. As a result of a fifty thousand dollar legacy from Mr. James Callanan, of Iowa, Talladega College was able last Thursday, to dedicate a new gymnasium at which Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, was the principal speaker. It is an attractive brick building with a main floor 44 by 76 feet with galleries on each side for spectators. This floor is full room and work and for interclass and inter-college athletics of the indoor variety. Next to this is an apparatus room so that the gymnasium floor may be the room for offices' and examination rooms on this floor, and on the floor below are 250 steel lockers and shower walls here, however, is the swimming pool, 60 by 20 feet in size, beautifully finished. The main address was by Principal R. R. Moton of Tuskegee. He spoke in "You probably would not believe it to see me now, but I taught physical education for me two weeks each at Harvard, under Dr. Sargent. So you see, I am quite young at least in spirits and in aspirations. "The department I was interested in the address of your professor in physical education." I agree with every word he said. "Remember, the physical education at Rampton, a great many people were suspicious. They thought it was a waste of time and money to build something that children" were "Do not apologize to anyone for your race. Look him square in the eye. We are as proud as he is. We are proud that he has made such a record of achievement. We have lots to be done and have a long way to go. I had rathers for him, and I am not a other man that lives on God's earth. I would rather have my chance as a Negro. I would rather suffer with my people than be given some land, Christian missions, good education and justice, justice in its fullest sense, equal opportunity in every sense of the word, with and with suffer with my race than with any other in the world.

Gibson, wealthy Philadelphia theaterist, contributed $500,000 to Morgan College drive for $300,000 which closed last Thursday night. Former Morgan Scholar Mr. Gibson, a former Morgan student, was the principal city, has admired a fortune from his two theatrical enterprises, the Standard and Dunbar Theatres. Leaving some years ago for Philadelphia, the magistrate conducted the foray long period. When a law was passed requiring small picture houses playing vaudeville to pay an equal fee with the larger theatres, Mr. Gibson took over the Standard on behalf and his management transformed the former failure into a money-maker. The gift of Mr. Gibson is believed to be the largest of any single colored benefactor to the college. It was requested by the donor that the $5000 be used to found a chair in business to bear the cost of the founder. It is remembered that Mr. Gibson recently contributed the Dunbar theatre for a rally for the benefit of the Uplift Industrial School for Orphan Boys of Philadelphia, as he had done in the previous presentation. At this occasion Mr. Gibson contributed $500 to the school. Thousands of colored actors and house employees are yearly given employment at the Gibson house.

A first National picture starring Katherine MacDonald, which is coming to the Dunbar Theatre Friday, January 16th, will be Kipling wrote his famous poem, "The Female of the Species is More Deadly Than the Male," he aroused a storm of protest from the women of the world, who vehemently denied the sentiment expressed by him. The famous writer intended the aphorism as an indictment of femininity, the fact remains that womankind without exception viewed it as a slur on their sex and they did not hesitate to express their opinion of its author. Nevertheless, many records that indicate the "female of the species" really was more deadly than the sterner sex. She has won battles, she has been responsible for the overthrow of governments and her influence has made itself felt in many world-starring events. The "female of the species" rules the world as a truism in reality. Perhaps woman is unaware of the power she wields. Dora Mason has been pursued by a wealthy roue. It was impossible for her to discourage him, and finally he murevered her into a position to outsiders appeared compromising. Although the girl extricated herself from the predicament into which circumstances had led her, she made a mistake.

REVIEW OF 1924 SEASON SHOWS ACTORS MADE PROGRESS Saturday. December 27 REVIEWING 1924 CONCERT AND STAGE SEASON Progress Marked In All Departments Of Theatre And Concert Stage. BANNER FINANCIAL YEAR Prospects For 1925 Loom Very Bright For A Duplication. Bs RENNARD WILLIAMS A review of the theatrical season of 1924 causes one to wonder how the cover accomplishments of the year and to grow decidedly optimistic about the years to come. PETER Hayes and Others Negro thespians and associated artists Bennard Williams once for progress that was not surpassed by any other Broadway the goal of every aspirant has been achieved, and to paraphrase the immortal Shakesepear, "Andenice can dance," were entrusted with acquiring, with the intent of fattening of the purse of the "nummers." Roland Hayes duplicated all previous European successes, entering music's birthland. Germany, under the hand of the composer and prejudice, brought the audiences and critics of Deutschland to their feet with acclimatations to tribute, America, too, has warmed toward the theater, and he presses him musically hilled him as the superactive artist he is. Composer - Bands - Clubs Julius Kleidson, the baritone, Florence Cole-Tallent, Clarence Cameron White, Harry Burleigh, and Nathan Diet have increased and conceived as concert art by composers and as concert artists. The male singing organizations; the textura, of New York, Peerless, Alphian, and Postoffice of Washington, have contributed much to this important visit. The visit of the Virgin Island Band established them as a highly trained organization and made them a recognized unit enlisted in the United States Navy, an unprecedented step for Negroes. The Mitte Monarch Band, of New York, by capturing first prize in competition with other cracks in Plittsburgh, self-self in the foot of similar groups. Broadway Successes Florescence Mills and the "Dixie to Broadway" Company were literally what the title said, and demonstration of the talent, thought, to the extent of paying a 1440 "top." Another significant departure was that "Dixie to Broadway" was not on the big street and "click." Indications are that the piece will enjoy a long and commutative "run." Indications are that the piece will succeed in "Shuffle Along," enjoyed a long engagement on the "Great White Way," and was embassied in New York. Gotiumites are pleased to term that little portion of the U. S. A. that beyond its sacred territory, to the pretentious musical comedy, after a triumphant tour of the country showed before base New York, and made a triumphant return. Johnny Hudgins is the year's comedy sensation, and after he has severed the strands of legal red tape challenging him is assured fame and Dramatic Artists As an exponent of the drama, Paul Robson has aligned himself beside the Great Giltman as another brilliant actor, both as star of the "Emperor Jones" and "All God's Chillen". Mr. Robson and his illustrious predecessor, Neo-Nazis legitimate theatrical case, James Lowes as "Uncle Tom", in a revival of the immortal play of the same name hit in the Triangle Playera production, "The Demi-Virgin", headed by Miss Meyen Ellis, was a revelation in the handling of force, always bold and edgy. Eilish Waters, a graduate from the "blues academy", is the outstanding figure among those who have achieved "big time". Ashton Stovens and other ominent reviewers awarded her a crown that assures her fortune for acts on the larger circuits have been re-engaged and continue to please. Columbia and Mutual Burlesque attend the premiere of Fletcher Henderson and Wilbur Swedman, with their bands, stand second to none as dancers and vaudeville attracts. T. O. B. A. Players The Dudley - Carnouche - Mitchell Company seems to have the edge on most of the companies that are involved. As units, it is unanimous that the We Got It company has the lead of all companies introduced this season. Whitney and Tutt, Miller and Slater, Irving Meyer, Benbow, Allen Tucker, and the colored circuits contributing the refinement of what was, before their engagement, a pretty deplorable situation, with his partner "Boots" Hope, the biologist, the Guineas Brothers, aerobots, Bonnie Bickel Drew and Sweetie May, Brown and Brown, the white-wind dancers, and the singles and doubles all supplemen and raise the standard. These better class acts and groups all point to their proper conception of entertainment values. "Follow Me" and "Till I stand out above the mediocre ones." The Ida Anderson and Eythem Preer units of Latitude Players have one much to stimulate interest in the game by playing the houses been heavily received of the T. H. B. A. these folk have to. There is yet much duplication of old familiar material used on the small time and "King Smut" needs dethronement. Schools and Colleges College and other student groups are guard, Hampton, Lincoln, Wil- berforce, and Wellesley. All less are steadily contributing to statistic upift.

BY SORIP New York City is the mother of American theatricals. From Broadway to American drama. In Harlem—that portion of Harlem that we have named The Great Black Way. Negro vaudeville inds herself a shrine. Many theaters, several new to the colored theatregroups of this city, come like eager pilgrims to this shrine carrying with them either the gifts or gifts beheaded on the artist's. It is out of the group that graced the footlights during the eventual year of 1914 that we will strive to select the best of the works with course exclude Bert Williams and the late Aida Walker, Rosamond Johnson and S. H. Dudley for they belong to the major group. No vaudeville singer before the color-combination of range, dramatic power, theatre public possesses such aer, and sweetness of tone. She is without doubt, one of the major singers. Second, the Musical Byrons. Here is the greatest musical novelty in vaudeville. These artists have an appreciation of artistic setting that is lacking in the majority of such acts. Third, the Blank Sisters. As interpreter, pop artist Melissa Blanks be nearer the artistic goal than any of their rivals. (Miss Oscaela Blanks, is now Mrs Leonard Harper of the well known team of Harper and Blanks—Theatrical Fourth, the "Chocolate Drops," for an act composed of ten or more with singing and refined comedy, gives us the best that Harlem has seen. King Pitt, the "Little Feather," Sinclair White. Miss White has the gift of embbling emotion with technique, transforming her violin interpretation interesting vaudeville entertainment. Sixth, Miss Blanche Deas, Miss Deas is a singer who makes a better impression as a single, than a boisterous greater sweetness than range, and her interpretations are usually of the sentimental ballad variety. Seventh, Miller and Lyles, in their sketch "Blessed with Ignorance." These young comedians, who appeared in the lowest forms of Negro life in a happier and more sympathetic fashion than any on the current stage. Eighth, Cooper and Smith interpret the lowest forms of Negro grotesque that fosters the ambition to be "sports" the versatile song writer and comedian are rigidly versatile. Ninth, Fiddler and Shelton. This is best of all colored comedians. Hurry up, the hapiest portrayer of the "chop suey" of Oriental in the race. Tenth, Blondy Robinson. In eccent, comedy no performer, save Allie Gilligan. Hurry up, the hapiest portrayer of the "chop suey" of Oriental in the race. Tenth, Blondy Robinson. In eccent, comedy no performer, save Allie Gilligan. Hurry up, the hapiest portrayer of the "chop suey" of Oriental in the race. MOST POPULAR BRANCH Will vaudeville endure? Today it is the most popular branch of all Negro theatricals: but unless a keen pruning knife is used, vaudeville will do more to ruin the Negro stage than even the cabaret. The middleman is more at fault than either the performer or the audience. It is true the brazenly suggestive stuff offered by the cheap type of actor will receive rowdy applause, but careful observers will soon discover that there are only a "buker's dozen" using that method. The middleman usually cares for nothing save sensationalism that will attract a crowd to the box-office, or if he is supplying white houses he nurses a desire to force a lower standard on his colored contingent. Readers of the above article, both professional and laymen, will recognize the clearness of this writer's vision. His prophecies and some of the bad conditions he cites are as true today as they were 10 years ago. THEATRICAL EDITOR. MYSTERY SHROUDS SUICIDE OF MAN Charles Wagner, 42, 234 N. Strieter street, was found dead with a bullying at his side in his room Sunday night by patrolmen from the Southwestern Police District. Investigation revealed the fact that Wagner was killed by suicide, according to a bolted inquiry by Coroner Horizon. Rumor Follows Mystery Albany police is clouded in some mystery, residents and friends close to him declare that a domestic affair preceded the tragedy. Just what acts led up to the tragedy, however, could not be ascertained. SNOW STORM TOO MUCH FOR ORNEL Yesterday afternoon in the midst of the snow storm a small boy was literally blown into the Call office. A husky little voice piped from a table and asked to use the telephone. The following conversation calmed the office: "Mother?" "Send a taxicab 'cause I'm tired of walking through the snow." Argument for a minute. "You take me to see Santa Claus?" "All right." And Ornell Burnett, 1090 Forest pinnil at Attucks school set out on the trudge home, for which he was rewarded by a glimpse of Santa Claus. — K. C.

MICHEAUX ANSWERS HIS PHILLY CRITICS MICHEAUX ANSWERS HIS PHILLY CRITICS The management of the Royal Theatre, Philadelphia, is to be commended for the "breaks" that it has given Oscar Michaex, the film producer. All of the producer's latest pictures have been screened and nearly a private screening of Charles W. Chestnut's "House Behind the Cedars" was given. Despite the gloomy views of the pessimists and attempts of other "knockers", Michaex has friends "at the door" to help him to put his splendid efforts over. To those who attempted to "blast" "Birthright", Mr. Michaex said in part: "unless he had connection with the actual production of motion pictures it was fully impossible to realize the tremendous scope which the motion picture embraces. The completed, and all its varied forces which picture a minute replica of other movies." That the nastery of the art of production is no small attainment, and successes by the most active encouragement and financial backing. Colored producers are pathfinders in a new difficult. He is limited in his themes, but he is able to encourage success in obtaining cuts and in his financial resources. Thus if the race has any pride, it is well to interst itself and morally to encourage success. The criticized 'Birthright' in Philadelphia the producer says that he feels that they were either unaware of his aims or unaware of his role with Mr. Michelau says that he has always endeavored to make his pictures show the truth, to lay before the race a coercionist iniquity with the producer's true situation will react as a stimulus for our advancement. A splendid tribute is paid the Royal Society of Art of Production the producer says: 'If I have been retarded by the unjust criticism of my race, it has been amply made up by the success from the beginning, has encouraged the production of colored photoplay often in the face of burning criticism.'

Theatres For Sale Washington, D. C., Dec. 22—Two of the largest moving picture theaters in the city have made overtures to prospective buyers for the purchase. The present slump is believed to be responsible for the desire to unload. Ada Cromman, and various little theater groups are steadily and surely helping achieve perfection. Europe has backpedaled in Nigeria. Europe has backpedaled and he has now moved a secure foundation across the pond. Particularly is this true of France, where Lizzie Miles, the "blues singer," and Billy Pierce's "Brown Skinned Vampires" have lately gone to augur. Sunshine Sammy The silent sheet employees scores of the race in the presentation of films, both sublime and ridiculous, "Sunshine Sammy" and "Parla are doing it," and "Comedy would be accepted by the movie customers without the contributory antics of these talented youngsters. Oscar Michaux's steadily frogging to the front as a director and producer of colored pic "Billboard" Jackson J. A. Jackson, of the "Billboard" still gives wise counsel to the performer and information to the laymen about the show. Recently a published article captioned "Don't Goodtime On Your Friends," was pronounced a classic of sage advice to improvident professionals it has taken pride in heralding the achievements of the theatre group, and deserves unstinted praise for the unseashal' lending of its far reaching influence.

IN JOINT RECITAL MISS ADAH KILLION Teacher of Music in the public schools, who appeared in joint recital with J. Logan Jenkins, Jr., last week. ANDERSON, PLAYWRITE RETURNS TO FRISCO ANDERSON, PLAYWRITE RETURNS TO FRISCO In an issue of several weeks ago the AFRO carried a story in it's theatrical columns of John Anderson, a young colored man who played a play which had attracted considerable attention when brought to New York. The story told of Al Johnson's kindness, fearlessness and playfulness in his trilogy. Where he sought a producer. Recently Anderson approached Ernest Culbertson the author of *Goat Alley*. The all colored play which was produced at the Bjou three years ago was suggested by the officials of the Provincetown Theatre, but could not assist as other contracts prevented. Anderson has had only four years of elementary schooling, considered amenable in view of the braynature in which the piece was constructed, and the unusual command of English in the dialogue and situations. The drama he wrote in construction to "All God's Chillums" by some, and to be fatterly compared with "The Fool". Anderson wrote the play in his spare time when an employee of the theater was married and has four children. Anderson has returned home after promise from a New York manager to give the piece a hearing. The title of the piece is "Judge Not."

Jingle Merry Bells NOTE—Many of the children in the A B C class are pants, and it is often wicked wicked to be in the high second and wear a moustache. Many of the singers of the a-love chorus sang the sopran notes of the chorus, and were singing bass, while the same claired two octaves passed as tenor. At the end of the chorus the tenors added some nasal squeaks, thus: Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! P. G.

EFFIE MAY MOORE WRITES THE AFRO Miss Effie May Moore, writes the theatrical department of the AFRO that she and her partner, Rastus Wingfield, after a concert in Cincinnati, Otto jumped back to Cleveland, where they played on the bill with Sidney Easton. This week the duo is playing the Temple Theatre in New York, after a performance at Rainey Revue艾莱 says, "And believe me, Ma really has a review." Further she says, that the act will open on the Sun Time next week, so the act is now making appearances. During the Cleveland engagement, they had a wonderful time. The entire bill was invited out three times during the tour, with Olivia Baltimore of Baltimore now living in Philadelphia, also motored to Cleveland with a party of friends to see them. Effie reads the AFRO each week, and wishes the entire AFRO staff a 'Merry Christmas', and a 'Happy New Year'. STAR When advanced billing announced that Lomnie Fisher's Company would be vaudeville-like this week, the regulars bucked a "ducket," filed in and settled back assured of the entertainment that they were about to receive. They were not disappointed. The former jazz band, but that wasn't in the way of the hired boys and girls cramming every moment of the time with genuinely new material, have been made to cast; two new comics "Lollipop" (name probably is chosen for Christmas fitness) and a hip-hop band, who is a dandy tenor and an AI jazz cornetist, has also been added. A funny comedy "bit," and an afterpiece supplement some splicey tunes, is also a big-time comic, but he refuses to "hog" the stage and gives everyone several abilities.

INSURANCE-THE BUSINESS LIFEBOAT Insurance funds are perhaps the most helpful funds in the whole range of industrial and commercial activity, capital or even deplete it for running expenses rather than risk it in any investment. But insurance money must work, be compounded, for reason or because insurance in some form is the principal foundation of commercial credit, the taxation and restriction of insurance measures, the agent understanding rather than political prejudice. With 43 new legislatures coming in, insurance measures to be considered, there is necessity for combating foolish and ill-considered measures which interfere with sound business policies, the taxation and obligation or individual saving. Insurance requires the individual to save for himself, and protect himself, makes private conservation and not public waste, its creed. it puts: a premium on individual independence in encouragement miss irresponsibility. *Insurance builds up a tangible fact available for those who will fail and save today: communism. gibbly promises to underwrite any. fantastic shortage for any or all its people, without the effect on -society. e. whole.* Insurance legislation needs to be considered in the light of a business acronym, sacrificio to avert possible mergericacy and as an industrial anchor for the whole system of honest credits, not the largest target for the professional destroyer.

NEGRO IMMIGRANTS PERCENTAGE HOLDS NEGRO IMMIGRANTS PERCENTAGE HOLDS Larger Percentage of Negro Allens Wildlife Reserves Strengthens Race Preston News Service African (black) aliens, contained in the immigrant labor group seeking employment in this country, has increased during the period 1920 to 1928 to over one per cent, as compared with the five years prior to the World War. During 1910-1914, the total number of immigrant aliens admitted was 2,210,481, a yearly average of 442,986. Of these numbers there was a total of 1,969,000 immigrants, a yearly average of 1,973, or about one-half of one per cent. Seeking significant conclusions, we face the following indisputable facts: the total incoming immigrant alien drop from 2,120,481 during 1910-1914 to 578,153 during 1920-1924; but the Negro content, during that comparative period, was 622, and while it fell in quantity, its percentage jumped from one-half of one per cent in the ratio of immigration to Portuguese possession of the West Coast of Africa, furnished the largest number of admissions. continuation of this trend revealed that immigration in this region restricted immigration in force, and American labor holding its own, it is apparent that the rise of native Negro labor may continue its onward trajectory. A reduction in the inflow of foreign labor, with a larger percentage of Negro aliens, means a reduction in the number of workers, which is of a lower standard and lesser efficiency than American labor. The many helpful programs, which we now bring into put effect by, image 1, are now being used to protect that Negro labor needs ample protection and assistance; are slowly building up a lasting foundation; the purity of the work in this country upon the same firm footing; that all other labor has so long been doing that truly constructive and should be encouraged of these efforts to put their shoulders to the industrial wheel in such a way as to make the task one of far-reaching benefits to all concerned.

VETS GETS THINNER But 24 Survivors of Lincoln Post G. A. R. Now In: This City ORGANIZED 31 YEARS Late Sergeant John H. Murphy Was Founder of the AFRO The late Sergeant John H. H. Murphy, editor and publisher of the PRO AMERICAN and himself a veteran of the Great Civil War, had this to say in a news dispatch to the AFRO after attending a reunion of Union soldiers in Indianapolis in the 1920s.

SIX REGIMENTS ENLISTED Pondering over the above prophetic words it is timely that an investigation be made into the numbers of servicing members colored among the states of Maryland, the State of Maryland, The Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Nineteenth, Tenth, and Thirty-Ninth Regiments of the authorities of Maryland or recognized as Maryland troops, nevertheless they were essentially Maryland troops, to be recruited and organized under the direct authority of the United States. These regiments rendered good service and suffred severe losses. They always regarded themselves as Maryland troops, and were proud of their name. COLORED TROOPS RECORD A very large number of colored people were recruited in Maryland by the Navy and were organized and accented to other states. A considerable number of colored people also shipped in the United States Navy during the Civil War. A large proportion of these enlistments in the army and navy were subsequently accredited to the queen of England, the official records of the War and Navy Departments of the United States of America, from the year 1851 to the year 1865. There were 5,114 colored Maryland troops. NAVAL AFFEN No separate record is kept of the number of sailors enlisted, but it is sufficient to say that the number was large. The history and records of the sailors who fought for the Union in the Great Civil War is one of which Negroes should feel proud. The severe losses of the troops were, above the average of the regimental losses in the war, had to contend with prejudice when time and time with their own good conduct, alone could allay, they appreciated the ordeal through which they were passing, and not only their own countrymen, but the civilians world so good and so brave.

Eye So This is Christmas This issue finds us in the midst of what we laughing, call Christmas a joke to take up a whole week on something when the truth is we can hardly afford a DAY. We think some steps ought to be taken to prevent New Years from too much trouble too too sudden, like we ought to have a HOLIDAY in between to give us time to rest up. There was a lot of JEWELRY we got any, we drew our own conclusion from the fact that the 8 and 10 cent stores announce that they did a record breaking business. We also summarize that there were a lot of people hanging around the JUNK pile, just before Christmas. Christmas. Always gives us a chance, 10, think about others, of how we can help some of us ever get, but we met one philanthropic Guy who wanted to break up the Empty Stocking and be enough EMPTY stockings without starting a Club to empty them. His partner in the Crisesade said they didn't kick when they pulled the child out of the room, they start emptying the children's stockings, that's carrying the thing too far. We met another Bird who said he didn't send any post cards this year but sent them by long distance telephone, and then REVERSED the calls. This may sound like a lot of nerve, but it was nothing compared to his brother, who plucked the birds he could.ind and sent them C, O, D. We think the worse case of where familiarly breeds, contempt is when you recognize a cheap pet to give to one of your friends last year. There is a lot of hypocrisy, practiced around Christmas time, people go out wishing everybody a NEBY Christmas. They care about you have a merry Christmas or not. Then New Years is just as bad, for some Folks come around early and tell you that you don't look like you will LIVE to see another one. Another JOY KILLER is the Ginko who cheer you up by telling you all the Christmas that is going on, the dealer MARRIED. Quite a, few people had trees in their homes this year, and then some people had trees that is if you wore a WATCHED too closely. One happy husband took houses of tree so small that his wife told him to stop dragging in weeds on the trees. He met a Bozo down town trying to buy a a shoe tree, he said he needed it for thought he would be cheaper to RAISE his own. Take our advice and have a good time during the Holidays because you can buy trees from the Stores where you get your presents from are going to the 365 days, so have a good time while you can.

"By Sanction of Law" The tragedy of a Southern aristocratic family which opposes marriage of their daughter to a col- ored man only to find out that it has colored blood. WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED Lida Lauriatine, daughter of an old and wealthy Carolina white family is sent to a finishing school in Boston, where she falls in love with a racey youth, man Bennett. Their love affair is brought to the attention of the school's headmistress after a storming session refuses to intone. Other efforts to force Lida to give up her home under the injustices he undertakes a trip south to his consent of the father and bring home his Brigade in the injustices heaped upon Negroes of the South at first hard. His witnesses is lynching or two Negroes failed accusations of Lida's father and brother locks her in her room to keep her from leaking into her lover. A neighbor suitor for Lida's hand (Ma-ley) threatens to lynch Bennett, when he comes as a guest, suddenly. (Now go with the story.) "Own land. Lord, they don't own their souls. Can't own anything. They get such low pay, and have such a hard time paying up their debts from one year to the other that that's all they can do. Work, eat, live and die. Eat, work, live and die. That's all they do. When we get tired of that we try the city but that's hard too." "Why can't you plant enough land to make a surplus from year to year and thus get something ahead?" "You can do that in some places but you can't in this county nor in Truro County.—That's the next county west to this. That's a bad, bad county.—Why I know a colored family that lived on a white man's place and couldn't make a living—was in debt all the time. Finally he got another place in another county and was moving away. The white man heard of it, rode after him, met the man with his goods on a wagon. Got in front of him, pulled a gun and made the family turn back to the old house." "Why didn't your friend go on to the new place?" "Go on. Lordy. If he had gone on him" a gone on plain into eternity. That white man would a' shot up that white man's head a' shot up that a' shot that family to death then claimed he was assaulted and nothing would a' been done about it. "Colored folks have go' no rights of color, no rights of young folks get restless and go away. The old folks, born here, are afraid to move for fear of worse. They stay. They rent on shares or lease and the shares never run up enough to pay and so the leases never run out." "You don't mean to say the white landlords cheat." "Don't cheat. The fig- ures never run right and the land never produces enough. You never heard the saying, 'oughts a ought, and a figurer a figurer.' The figurer never runs for the nigger. Well, that's about the way things run in the country. If a black man questions the figures of his landlord, that black man is impudent and must bullet or the rope. What can we do?" Sensing the hopelessness of the question and the futility of an answer, Bennett remained silent. They had just passed through a swampy stretch of roadway bordered by a thick growth of gallow berry bushes, when suddenly there smote their ears a most unearthly scream. It seemed not like one in pain but more in fright and horror. Bennett reached over to the front seat and touched the driver on the shoulder. They were just at a bend in the road which hid them from a further view. The car was throttled down and was but barely creeping along, both men listening for the sound. Again the scream. This time it sounded closer. At the same time there sounded as if in answer a long, low, half bellow, half groan, rising to a crescendo of a siren fire alarm and then dimishing till it ended in something like the distant roar of a lion. Bennet began to feel creepy. He thought of hyenas and other wild animals, then recalled that he had never heard of any such inhabiting this section of the country. He reached for the revolver, Dr. Tansey had forced him to carry. The black chauffeur, frightened at first, regained his composure, turned in his seat and whispered: Before Bennet could reply, again came the screams of fright, like that of a frightened woman. Bennet that came from the house, caught by the man, and was being devoured. They had just turned the curve of the road, the machine that was coming from the house them. In the middle of the road stood an elderly white woman, a bonnet thrown back from her head. Her eyes horrorstriken with fright. While she put the roadway a young alligator, about seven feet long, jaws wide open, showing rows of ferocious teeth, she pushed by its feet. Every time the woman turned to retreat, the reptile opened its jaws wider and bowed. When she left the road on which it had been surprised and beat the road into dust clouds with its tail. The woman was running, and she was near the machine come up behind her. Before Bennet realized what the chauffeur was doing, the latter had stepped from the car and was seeked by the police. He frightened the reptile from the road. Bennet, however, noted a towing rope in the bottom of the car and thinking he would like to have a live specimen to take with him, stepped from the car roof. The woman was just about to scream again when Bennet's voice sounded in her ear. "Keep still, we'll save you." The chauffeur was returning with a broken skine, Bennet, rope in hand climbed a nearby tree, whose branches overhung the road. From one branch to another he made his way across the tree, making a slipnose he slowly lewded this down in front of the alligator. The reptile's eyes were so blinded with anger that he paid no heed to Bennet. In front of him and was slowly dragged about his tail till well behind the neck of the brute. The tension was too much for the old woman and she swooped slumping to the middle of the road. Bennet's rope about the reptile's body. The alligator, seeing the motion of the woman's body falling, grew wilder and more muscular with its fall, at the same time bellowing fiercely. The bellow however, was shortened as Bennet tightened on the rope and lifted the brute weight of the man, so that his feet and tail were touching. The bellow became a scream as the reptile fought and struggled with this new creature, which to choke him in the dashing, swirling fight, the suddenness of the capture turned the bellow into screams that were half coughs. Bennet was almost to the ground from his lofty perch.

Throw the rope "round the tree." He ruckled to do this when he caught the advice. Wrapping his legs about the trunk of the limb, wrestler fashion, he fouled. Finally he managed to life the alligator from the ground and tie the rope securely to the limb. Panting and gasping after his struggle he returned, grounding himself was justaining consciousness when he reached her. The alligator was twisting, turning and struggling wildly, free himself. The alligator swung the alligator swinging, closed her eyes again, shouting: "Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!" but she refused to rise. Repeating the Bennet tried to lift her to her feet. Bennet was still trying to sooth her when the chauffeur returned from the car with Bennet's revolver. Joining close up, he whispered a shout the revolver at a point between the shoulders and fired twice. At the second shot the alligator's struggles diminished a small wound from the wounds made by the bullets. "Too bad. I wanted him alive." was all Bennet said as the chauffeur returned him the revolver. Gently the latter lifted the woman in his arms and bore her to the car, dispatching the chauffeur for some water from the stream they had crossed. Bennet moistened his handkerchief when the man returned and gently laved the her. At the opening of her eyes and woman's forehead. This soon revived returning memory, with a smothered scream she threw her arms about Bennet and began to cry. She was soon soothed to calmness, however, by Bennet, who convinced her that the reptile was dead. "Ugh!" she shuddered as calmness returned. "That's the first time I ever met one of the things on the road and I'll never come this road again. I never knew them to come so far from the river before." "They come out to lay their eggs," offered the chauffeur in explanation. "Yes, so I've heard, but never met one before." "You must have frightened him as much as he did you," smiled Bennet, reassuringly, as the woman clung to his hand. "Do you feel well enough to travel?" he asked solicitously. "If you do, I'll take you to your home and set you down." "G bless you, and bring you a good wife." the old woman replied. "It's Sally Gorton that thanks you, Boy. Old Sally Gorton. These are night onto 1925 years now the knives knows me—I live just beyond here— "All right, Mrs. Gorton. I'll take you home." "Thank me. But don't call me Ms. Gorton. Aint no one called me that since my sparking days. Call me Aunt Sally. Everybody does. I like it. We're all neighbors in these parts and to them all I'm plain Aunt Sally. I like it. We're all to them Aunt Sally. All right Aunt Sally." humoring her. "If you're Aunt Sally to all then you'll be Aunt Sally to me. Do you live far?"雾雾 had now taken his place at the wheel and Bennet stepped into the car: "Couple of miles ahead—Used to live on Park Lauriston's place— lived there good many years." Mrs. Gorton was now: her self-confidence returning quickly as she sat by the good looking youth at her side and prattled away like a young girl, in her hospitable, open-hearted "Ah, you know the Lauriston's then?" he asked trying to hide his confusion by making the question clear. "Know them—know them. I know the whole kit and kaboodle of them known them since their bib and tucker days. Old Park Lauriston grew up together. Say I know them!" Then turning to look shewled at the young man at her side, she asked: "Youaint coming together, right? Well go back." Park Lauriston aint going to let nobody but John Marley marry his Lida. Bennet's face flushed more as the young man looked at her. That's all settled. They're two proud families and the old men have fixed it up so's Lida and the young John can fit off together. "What's the latter?" Won't they let the young lady choose for herself? "No much, they won't. Seems Lida went North last year and got herself a job." They're all against the girl. She's practically a prisoner till she makes up her mind to marry Young John. They're a cursed lot, with all their "What do you mean?" Bennet bristled defensively, surprised out of his grip. "I am not sure," he grand. "I chanced to meet the young woman, in the North and found her to be exceedingly ladylike." "Do you call, are you?" Mrs. Gorton asked. "That was my plan. I chance to be passing through, and knowing that she lived in this vicinity thought I'd call. 'Well, you won't be welcomed. I know—park Lauriston's too proud to let any strangers call on his child. Besides, I tell you they've fixed it up for Young John to marry her." I thought of those things here in the South. Thought they allowed the girl to coose," Bennet commented. "Huh, you don't know the Lauristons. Though they live in the country, they pride over, either—True they've got a lot of old names in their families. But they've got other things too, and Saturday, December 2 one of them's Park Lauriston." "Evidently you don't like the family," "Why should I? Don't Park Lauriston throw me off his land last year. Me, an old woman, who befriends his family and nurses his children at home, throws me off the ground for them. No. I put a curse on the land. Let Lida marry young Marley. When they're married I'll tell them what or that they'll cure them all." "The car was gliding along quietly and came to a clearing off the road at the back of which nestled a small smoke suggesting that the evening air was chilly. Chimney area was in process." "That's my house," Mrs. Gorton inicated. They turned into the roadway leading up to it and jumped up to the tree. They came back behind a lattice covered with roses. The sun was setting in a large roll ball through the trees, while off to the east, over the woods darkened. There was a sound of cutting wood in distance, with a rich voice poising at evening time in tempo with each blow, as the echoes carried both from the forest hatch across the cotton fields. "Better come in and eat with us. Not much of a table but what I have you welcome to. Besides, you can eat here. If there is where you are going" invited Jarton, and debated whether to go to Lalita's little cottage behind the rooftop home as was his intention or to accept the invitation and remain with this old woman's family. He thought about the limitations and concluded that perhaps in the circumstances might he embarrass for Lala. He decided to delay the visit till the morning. "Thank you. If it won't put you to better," he responded. "I was not going to Barnwell, however. Are you going to Barnwell?" "Yes, you. I lived to long at among animals to let a thing that disturb me for long. I'm not city bed like your women. I'm not doil." She answered in manifest pride in her right. With that she stepped from the automobile and led the way into the little house. Summer twilight in the South Island was a time of the day and seasickness time for romance an dreams and castle building. Bennet stood in the gateway also trellised over with nice bushes and looked toward the house, which was the sun dropped behind the trees. From as far as the eye could see on one hand, there seemed to be an unending forest, with tall long ceilings and like giants over the remaining world of vegetation. Below them, far below, were the oak and other trees whose leaves were redding. Across the house, the tops of the pines and oak were still red and golden green where the sun's rays raysed from them. Long yellowish rays of sunbeams reached far up in the trees at play world. From far over the fields came the chattering of sparrows at their angelic service. Off in a creeps of woods a mocking bird was watching straight into the sky from their single armament, an ambitious pillow. From a farm house could be heard the bleat of a sheep answered by the hurge call of a call or the deep bay of a bloodhound in the distance. Bleat "What a wonderful place!" he explained enthusiastically, his right arm smart, and wired his right arm which she watched the expression of admiration grow. "You stay here, long, you'll leave," she added, she faced the song of the sunny place he explained Bennet "It's a delightful country." "Yes, we famous for beauty. Pretty horses, pretty women. It can be enthralled in. A land of beauty." Bennet was still under the spell. "It is enchanted—and a priestess here—(modified from Land) is waiting to be claimed by some prized and freed from her age of a father. Commented Mrs. Gordon, she thought you didn't like the Larson family." "I don't like Park. He did me wrong. But I've not been against the girl. She's like her mother the mother. She's not like her mother the mother for that poor child now, just because she cast eyes over the Laurenton fence at some strange boy in the North." "I ain't grit-grit—Do you know it be a gift? Bennet asked. "I'm not sure. But what other thing could a poor girl be mixed in that would make her father pet her up like a jailbird? the woman said. "Oh, that can't be! That can't be! Bennet offered, his heart paused in the thought that Lida was perhaps suffering for him. "You're the Young John Martine is there all the time and the poor girl can't go anywhere without either Eileen Laurention or he trailing after Bennett's heart was agitated in the way Lida must be suffering. He was glad now that he did not continue his journey to the house. He determined however, to visit in the morning at his account, and if her love had not hesitated to take her away immediately.

PASTOR TICKLED THE PALMS OF HIS PARISHONERS Congregation of N. C. Episcopal Church Dwindled From 150 To Six RAPE CHARGE LAID Respected Member Says He Ferociously Hugged And Kissed Her ... Ashville, N. C. Dec. 20.—(Citizens News Service)—Rev. J. R. Jones, rector of St. Matthias P. E. Church, was released under bond after indictment of the Grand Jury last week on the charge of rape. The plaintiff is Mrs. Psyche Morrow, 40 Gouger street. Mrs. Morrow's accusations were laid before three officers of the Fussohunt August this year, a two husband and a wife, sworn out for the arrest of the minister; the officials of the Dicees urging the minister to stop the arrest that time but allow the Ecclesiastical Court to handle the matter, providing the Standing Committee of the Court with evidence, should do it of sufficient importance to pass on to the court. Court Soon to Meet This, however, was done in September and it is reported by reliable authorities that the court is soon to be found guilty, he will be unbroken and immediately relieved forever of all duties pertaining to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. In this frenchish crime occurred in May of this year just before the rector left the city to deliver the commencement address at St. Augustine School in Paris, where he haps a man of 160 pounds, while Mr. Morrow weighs less than 100 pounds. She says on leaving her house the man immediately forcibly punished, armed with a hugged and attempted to kiss her. Backed Against Bed She was backed against the foot of the bed, and there the attempt at criminal assault took place. The woman stalked by the minister hearing the footsteps of a neighbor who came to visit the house. Mrs. Morrow states that the minister's clothing was disarranged and he was attacked to her. After the attack Mrs. Morrow had to be confined to bed under the care of her physician. The story is one of many related by respectable women of the city who have been treated in like manner by the rector. Five women have made sworn affidavits of others are willing to do likewise. From South Carolina Rev. Jones came to Asheville three years ago from Columbia, South Carolina, and St. Matthias Parish. The congregation numbers about 150 people, and the average of six people attend Sunday services. The choir has completely disintegrated, and the financial standing of the parish is one of complete bankruptcy; this is one of the reasons it is reported, is due to the absolute loss of respect and confidence in the ministry. Some of the younger women of the Parish have accused Jones of shaking hands with them after the ungrendelly thing doing the ungrendelly thing, making them in the palm of the hand.

The "hat in hand" Negro, illiterate, servile, always with a smile on his face when he meets white folk is giving way to the belligerant type of Negro with a different type of laugh, according to L. M. Hussey, writing in the current issue of the Mercury Magazine. Mr. Hussey, a white man, was employed eight years ago as publicity agent in five cities for an organization whose purpose was to raise money for Negro uplift. How much has the new influential people, black and white, in these cities, write articles favorable to race relations for the daily press and prepare the way for the solicitors who The Old Crowd Part of my official job was to obtain from colored presets, editors of the book, a copy of Moors plus expressions of opinion upon the charisma of other prominent Moors plus expressions of opinion upon the charisma of other prominent Moors plus expressions of opinion upon the charisma of this vale of tears as the black man passed through it, a less rigorous requirement, and a more elaborate words of gratitude for which I reached them viva voca and by suave and eloquent gestures. They reached me with the presence of soe dark clerkman and remembering freshly his mellifluous words of wisdom, and that the end of the so-called race problem was at hand, that old prejudices were dissolving, and that the apocalyptic lamb deference, was about to lie down with his white master in the lion with the apocalyptic lamb with the lion. The Good Negro Companion by an affable Confederate friend, I was walking one street in Richmond when an aged Negro in Richmond when an aged Negro rounded the curb, corpse precipitately and nearly collided with both men, mastly shuffle curbward, and began to murmur apologies like a litany, Confederate friend smiled gently, "Good morning, Uncle Joe, he said, "That's all right. Never mind. I was passed on the old darky still stood near the curb, smiling, bowing, gesturing. There, commuted my friend, I was commuted a good night." Just An Actor This the "good nigger" of the South, the nigger who in acting his mental vanities of the dominant race. It is also, albeit to a lesser degree, the nigger of higher latitude. His clawing is the protective apparatus of an outnumbered race and the mental vanities of existence do harsh for survival. It is the frustrating, disarming mask work by the white man.

North and South, because the consciousness of men without any authentic merits a sense of perdurable and unassailable sense,敏捷 and instinctive flattery of the Ethiopian will not bring men to an enduring sense of elevation. they will on some dark, questioning begin to doubt, to fear, to doubt, to fear, to doubt, or darling street words for the observation that their results from the accidents of number higher talents. Their fears will be no longer assugged by the memory of the good nigger shuffling curly hair. Subconciously they will perceive that the black can get as much light as the white, and soil of his farm as the white, that he has a disconcerting ability, not that he has a clownishness, to get superior laughs, tunes and giggles-out of the white, to be an educational mill and come forth with baccalaureate letters tagged to his name, and that, worse, he can traifirion white women. How Lynchings Start Arrived at those intolerable facts, and he met her, gather a mob. On his dark night of perturbing revelation he does so with a certainty that he is a psychic, stalker, and the spawn of THE MOTORCYCLE WEEKLY New York City, Dec. 26.—Attachments on the rents of Barron Wilkins corner here where he operated a cafe and cabaret for a number of years, were filed in the county clerk's office last week by a hold of a third mortgage. Attachment was filed, it was claimed, due to the failure of the widow, Mrs. Carolina Sparrow-Wilkins, to meet the latest installments. Mrs. Wilkinson is said to be in a health resort in New Jersey, recovering from bronchial trouble. Barron Wilkins, well-known hotel man, was murdered by "Yellow Charleston" several months ago. At the settlement of his estate a fortune said to be between $50,000 and $100,000 went to his wife. Someone has been knocked in the head a day or two earlier, or some white woman stared at. Shorn of his sense of mastery, the hysterical white woman sat. white-inspired upikes together, the institutes, the schools, the urban leagues, the biracial programmes, the whiteness, suspiciously of the whole world. Belligerency Safer The Moor begins as I say, to function as an autonomous organism, to serve as a servility under the good nigger tradition have won for him a certain degree of military might that that place is neither very warm nor very fertile. He tends now to more mechanical tactics, but he will help to him by his belligerency be after, all the safer and more productive device, the education begin to impress him. in particulari he casts a searching eye on wars and race-rivals. He is startled to observe how seldom it is the Moor who encounters the dromon worth of the Caucasian mob. No, the riot usually begins in some ciliate strife that encounters the dromon in the homes of inoffensive and unprovocative men. When the toughest niggers enter the fray with eight-tail Icarbaw kinesis the Moor encounters for battle among the Nordes wanes. He remembers a fierce enthusiasm for the fire. He recalls how the Poach Tree street coons, a raucous, billion-event company, put up an impressible bill to the white mob down here According to he recollection the Moor "Send the white mub down here" He ponders these things. One Quarter White Since the beginning of my researches it has always imminent to me a black-maoor thought of his future on this continent. What, in his opinion, is the most important position? Upon this question I found him not lacking in prognosis, but was curiously uniform: he grounded it upon the charmingly cynical recollection of a quarter to a half white.

Whites Not Superior According to my researches, this is the genesis of lynchings and race murders, and the man's sense of authentic elevation, a temporary failure of the quasher's vantage of superiority, was genuine and not a mere product of fattery, the weapon not be the taribush, the shot in the dark, the length it would be to that most compelling subduing arm of all genuine superiority everywhere—contempt, and above all, indifference. Back of the historic mask there the nifflio shorn of it. Closer Investigation Closer investigation convinced Mr. Hussey that these "good Negroes" are of the old crowd and that the most mobful people are tired of it. He writes: "Little by little it became apparent that no one had opinions of his own, and that his opinion of the uplife was by no means so gracious as his words affirmed. But he was not a came by conviction that save for a few asses and interested job-holders, but a little patience and less respect for the white man's devices, for his betterment and for his manners and snorted. Now and then, over the Bourbon and juniper water, I found it possible to get from his manners some expression of his real view." It was a view neither gracious nor flattering.

My friend, Professor W. P. Dabney, of Cincinnati, supports it by a subtle oversvation in his estimable journal, the Union. Writing of the articles of Garvey and his Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in particular of the Association's proposed debate upon the tint of the Lord God Jehovah, the Professor says: One fact is assured: If Garvey and company decide that black is the appropriate color for God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary, then most American citizens will become infidels and go to hell rather than worship black divhittles. The only thing black the white man loves is a woman. I invite you, gentlemen, to observe and ponder the professor's concluding sentence. It is the voice of libel? Or is the voice of prophecy?

In the family besides the faithful wife is George, a son of 18, who is the main-stay of his mother, although he earns only $10 a week. Oscar, 16, is an invalid and an added burden. There are five other children of school age and pre-school age. It is impossible for the mother to go out to work so outside aid must be given them. $80 will buy them coal and tide them over a period of two months. Deserted Blind Man His wife had left him because he no longer could provide the living and he found himself alone agd totally blind. He was sorely tempted to beg his bread, but his self-respect came forward and he could do it to be his head and he called a location for the blind and within a few months will be self-supporting. 28 a week or 648 for two months will carry him through. Wife Supports Family HUSBAND STRICKEN, SIX CHILDREN LOOK TO HER FOR BREAD AND CLOTHING Mr. L. was the faithful employee of a large firm working at business. One night while working his rounds he fell stricken and after many weeks in the hospital, was told that he could never return to work. He had to go home and he was one of jobs about the home and his faithful wife has undertaken the duty of wage earner. Two boys are of working age and can pay a small board. Sara, just 10, is a very attractive woman. He has a family in her school work. There are three others, Bobby, Mario, and Alice. Someone must help Mrs. L. to carry her responsibilities which she has undertakes as cheerfully. Christmas will be a burden in place of a joy It assistance over a period of six months is not assured. Alone In Two Rooms Living alone in a little two-room flat lives Mary. She has been a wonderful worker, but illness overtook her and she has not been able to work for two months. She is not considered ill enough for the hospital and is improving rapidly. $10 will pay her rent for two weeks. Food is also-necessary until she is able to work. A8 will provide this. Living alone in one small bean which she keeps immaculately neat and tidy, she will need to earn her living which she has been doing since she was widowed five years ago. In the condition, Quiet and rest have been ordered by the doctor and as she is getting ready to leave, she should have a quart of milk a day. She will provide this for three months. The Anvent Carol Services will begin at eleven o'clock Christmas even night, December 24th, and last for one hour. The Carol Service will be applied to music by Wilson, Wilson, Wilson. Trinity A. M. E. CHURCHES URGE JUSTICE FOR THE NEGRO Atlanta, Ga., Dec.—The Christianizing of race relations was a major topic at the Quadrennial Meeting of the Federal Council of Churches, just concluded here. That subject shared with war alone in the United States, in discussions of the Council, which a composed of 400 representatives of 28 denominations having an aggregation of 1,000 members. Two entire sessions were given over wholly to the question of race relations, when incidentally the subject was constantly coming forward outward through the Council meeting. Dr. Geo. Haynes The Council Commission on the Church and Race Relations, thru its secretary, Dr. George E. Haynes, has been working on the relations, notably the decrease of 75 percent in lynchings in the last two years. The campaign against this unrestilling viger, said Dr. Haynes. The commission has assisted in setting up in 17 Northern cities local interracial committees to work on issues of racialized in the South by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with which the Federal Council body is involved in the work of the commission. In Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Gary, Hartford, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Toledo, Wichita and Youngstown. Outstanding Achievement "The most outstanding achievement, concluded the report, is the establishment of an interracial churches of America have assumed seriously and aggressively the task of marshalling the forces of racism and the challenge to attack the hoary evils of this situation and to press Christian ideals of brotherhood upon public opinion and interracial contacts in the South. There is a tremendous response of approval from the public, and there has come a new consciousness of power and reality of practical religion to the church leaders themselves." A number of powerful appeals for the application of Christian principles to race relations were made from the chief speaker being Dr. M. E. Reese, man of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation: Bishop F. F. Reese, President John Hope, of Morehouse College; Bishop George C. O'Neill, president of the council adopted a vigorous paper on this subject, setting forth its principles and outlining policies for the race to be given to the press at an early date. Among the delegates attending the meeting were representatives of a number of colored denominations among these bodies being the northern Baptist Convention, the C. M. E. A. M. E. and, M. E. Zlon Churches.

DINED WITH HIM New York Banker Tells Of Incident To Prove His Abence of Color Prejudice New York City, Dec. 26. "I never would dream of drawing the color line. I have been interested in Booker T. Washington, who has dined at my house and I in Tuskegee where my brother have been trusted. Thus spoke Felix Warburg, Jewish banker, expressing his regret over both the attack offered by Mary Prampin, 131 W. 136th street, when she was publicly excluded from the testimonial dinner given by the Hotel Ritz-Carlton Sunday of last week. Mrs. Prampin with her husband, is head of the Prampin School of Music, with both white and colored She said she received an invitation to attend the dinner but paid no money for it. She received two other appeals to attend, one of them having enclosed the personal card of Adolph Zukor, head of the Famous Players Lasky Corporation. Finally she decided to attend, thinking the invitation sponsored by the company was still while in vaudeville. When she took her seat at the dinner, Harry L. Reichenbach, white, special representative of the Company, touched her on the shoulder and said there must have been some mistake. She also wrote Ms. Pramplin regretting the occurrence and declaring there would have been no discourse that had there been someone of authority to not the incident be Presbyterian Church October 28th P.S.

DECATUR, ILL., PAPER APPEALS TO MOB Threatens a Lynching Unless Two Alleged Murderers are Convicted REBUKED BY N. A. A. C. P. Article Called an Effort to Intimidate Courts of Justice New York City, Dec. 24.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public a letter to the editor of the Decatur, Illinois. Review, for a news story in which a direct appeal was made to mob sentiment and mob action in the case of two Negroes awaiting trial on a charge of murder. “There has been sent to us a clipping from The Review of December 10th, giving an interview by Mary Saman with George Funkhouse, newspaper solicitor, on December 3rd relative to the impending trial of two Negroes, Harry Davis and Frank Smith, charged with the murder of the late W. L. Funkhouse in which, according to your correspondent, George Funkhouse has, son, stated that he had asked Mr. Robert Pugh, State's Attorney of Shelby County, for the death penalty for the two accused men. “Your correspondent goes on to report Mr. Funkhouse as saying: "I am just waiting to see what happens. In case we don't get the death penalty, I will have the murder murder step to the telephone and callgirl County. Will the men of Coles County come? Well, I'll say they will have the murder and the hundred of either; and we will take care of the Negroes. There will be more than a thousand men to do it and they are going to the wood from me. They are waiting for me and I am waiting to see what Shelby County does." "Your correspondent goes further to state in commenting upon the death penalty for the death penalty for both the Negroes now in court is echoed in the heart of almost every man and woman who speaks about the case at all." "It is superfluous almost, to point out that this statement attributed by your correspondent to George Funkhoused is a direct instruction and an encouragement into a discussion of the guilt or innocence of the two men accused of the murder. That is a question to be determined when the evidence is placed on trial. The specific point which I wish to raise in this letter is that by permitting your columns to be used for the purposes of equally reproducible, the attempt to intimidate the court, are acts which will be condemned by right thinking citizens. If the two men now under arrest, then they should be given a fair trial and punished in accordance with the law. Under no circumstances, however, should so patent an attempt to arouse public interest, or whatever the color of their skin. The effort to inflame the public mind and the prospective jurors who will hear the case, can be construed as no more than an attempt to诱惑 these men whether they guilty." Mrs. Jas. H.

Your rent money may mean good business for the LANDLORD, but it may not. You earn the money, he gets it, good for him, but sad for you. And remember, it will continue just that for a while, until the change. There is no better time than now. Take courage, start for YOURSLEF! Buy a property that is in the best portion of it as a home, and let the income from the balance of the house take care of the expenses. Buy the property by buying all the time. You can do it too. There is a house at 624 N. Carey street that will do just this. The house has a large image into three apartments. You can live in one of these apartments yourself and rent the other two. Do you get a home to cover expenses and pay for the house, aside from having a nice home rent-free. You can't beat it. The only question now is: Would you choose to hold home rent or continue piling up a stack of worthless rent receipts. These receipts are not old. See me and I will explain to you about this Carey Street house. MARION COX 10 E. Lexington St. Plaza 6657 MISCELLANEOUS DUNGAN'S BUSINESS SCHOOL 1227 S. 17th St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Colored members on board of State institutions-where inmates are colored 1.5.2. The organization of labor unions among all groups of colored workers. A university and agricultural college for colored people supported by the state. The Path of Success A church prints on the back of its program of services these words: I will be kind to every man, woman and child, with whom I come in contact. I will be cheerful and hopeful. I will trust in God and bravely face the future." Read them again, they are worth while. Cut them out and paste or pin where you will see them often. About all there is in life worth striving for is suggested in these few lines. Houses, lands, bonds, automobiles are fine possessions. But far more precious still to anyone, in any station, are the measures of the mind and soul—composure, courage, cheerfulness, tolerance, kindness, hope—all these and faith in something higher than that which the eyes see and the hands hold. Keeping America for Whom? "Keep America for Americans, not for the Asiatics," declared Dr. Charles Egan at a meeting of the Pennsylvania Society in New York last week. "Keep America just, democratic and honest," retorted Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, a Jewish speaker who followed him on the program. Barring black folk and yellow folk because they come from Asia and Africa, treating them unfairly because they are not white is not the kind of America the founders of the constitution planned. The Asiatic ban would keep Jesus Christ out of the United States today, should he return, just as effectively as the injustice towards Negroes is shutting Him out of the hearts of many white Americans. Blame the School Parents Last week Washington, D.C., Board of Education named a first and second assistant superintendent of colored schools, at salaries of $5,000 and $4,200, respectively. Under the act of 1906 that city had already one assistant superintendent, but the work in late years required additional supervision. Meantime Baltimore, with a population as large as Washington, but with a smaller school system pokes along with school principals as the highest administrative officers. Six months ago, Mr. Frank Russell resigned as supervisor of colored schools. A delay of two months ensured before his resignation was accepted, and now four months have elapsed in which the Board considers his successor. The needlessly slow and inductive method of administering colored schools is not unusual under the present school administration. The new million dollar high school building will be completed six months before the equipment is in place. Three years have passed since the loan was available, making possible project number 10, a new elementary school. All the land has not yet been acquired for the new site at Preston street, near McCullough. Since the resignation of Mr. Russell, the Pareht-Teachers' Association appears to have settled for a winter sleep. Baltimore lags behind her best teachers/leave as soon as they can for places elsewhere. There is a remedy for all of this, and it is more intelligent interest of the parents whose children are affected. They are taxed for 100 per cent education and getting around 50 cents on the dollar. Anyone who we look at the educational situation in Baltimore can embrace it with that of Washington, just 45 miles away, will come to the speedy conclusion that Baltimore needs Negroes on the School Board and on the Board of Superintendents, and the sooner the better. Our Christmas Thoughts If human nature is the combination of self-seeking, ambition and greed which some materialistic philosophers assert it is, if life is a contest in which all finer sentiments are subordinate to self-advancement and success at any price, how is it that the spirit of Christmas has not only endured but grown in power during nearly 2,000 years. If the possessions are right, it would seem that the light would have been extinguished long since and with it the spirit would have departed. Were history and our daily lives not replete with evidences—noble evidences too—of the unselfishness in men's hearts, we might be impressed with the teachings of the world and the carpings of the morbid. Christmas is the symbol and a celebration of love—love which is synonymous with charity and which our purest teaching tells us is the greatest attribute of the soul. We, who during the past few weeks have watched the Yuletide preparations, are prepared to say that they represent a beautiful manifestation of that attribute. We have noted the working girl taking home at night her parcels contributions wryng from the dole of her necessities, in order that she may testify to her love and bring a measure of cheer to some child; some relative, some friend; fired from her daily toil mayhap, but in her eyes that something which transcends all fatigue transcends, in fact, everything else in the world and comparable only to that which phone from a mother's eyes upon the Bible in Bethlehem. Friends, in the face of these and so many other manifestations, which we are all witnessing during this season, what night has one of us to say that the Light of the World grows hummer? Our hearts tell us there is no dinning. Let us be thankful for the extra radiance of Christmas. Let us seek to carry into our daily lives. Our wish is, that this occasion, at most, will help all of us to forget our tribulations and sorrows, our complaints and animosities, and that it will be to all a day of cheer and everything which Vuliette typifies. The words of Tiny Tim have never been improved on and we will wake them. "God bless us all!" Ready To Turn The Job Over To Somebody Else THESE FELLERS PURTY NIGH RUINT ME !! 1924 1925 RIP.P.P.

However, Mr. Thomas knows that people don't keep on rehearsing, and a demonstration of some kind. "Y" Joins Hands The best of us like a gallery when we are really going to do our "stuff" so when we are done we can come up with the suggestion of a Charity Benefit, Mr. Thomas and all his gang readily volunteered Mr. Booker as the official head of the Drudg Hill Avenue Branch of the Thomas for the benefit of somebody or something.

The members of the New York Lodge took offense-at his trying to use the steamer, roller in New York as he did in Washington. He almost brought the door-sash out, with alm, when he came; but I don't believe it. I believe Mr. Wilson left saloons it. He is not ill-fitted to it. Mr. Wilson is a brave man and like Dr. DuBois.

Most certainly, Editor Wilson didn't come out of a lodge room without going through the proper formalities. I did I wang him fined like anybody else. Morrison Resigns I see by the papers. Coach Morrison, of Howard University, has been given his walking papers. This is all likely the outcome of the game. Thanksgiving day. The Howard authorities possibly had to vent their spleen upon someone, so it had to be Morrison. As quiet as it is kept a Coach can't do everything. While it is true a famous chemist has made gold out of mercury at the same time it has never been heard of a good race horse trainer making a race horse out of a mule. Maybe the trouble is with the football candidates. Lots of the Howard Players while possessed of good physics are still handicapped. Many are from way down home and their thinking machinery is not geared up to the climate yet. Football not only calls for brawn but calls for brain. If Coach Morrison could think for his team it would be different but he can not. Coach Morrison has turned out some good teams and should not be "cold watered" thusly. If Howard does not beat Lincoln next year, Morrison should get his back pay.

Banks Charge More There are banks and other financial institutions that charge more for the extension of credit to our group. Large insurance companies, even from Negro policy-holders to extend Negro business, and charge more for retail and wholesale houses from colored clients on the ground that the credit is not only the necessary depth into the business possibilities of the race.

The laws of the Pythian Lodge less than the virgin, or else his innocent wife and children will not be provided for their protection. That's -rather, hard, on innocent women and children.

The South on the back by appealing to his white jury as follows: "We are careful to keep inviolate, the marriage, now. That fact is largely responsible for the high standard of people of the South as compared with so no other sections." He asked the people of the South as compared with so no other sections. "We are careful to help you white, gentlemen to help us in our effort to be decent citizens of THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD." He won his case to deprive a widow-of her just funds.

Of the greatest of these is Jews, Christ, they expressed a hazy idea of some mysterious Son of God, who died to save sinners. Of the real man that lived and walked the streets of Jerusalem and of his beliefs, they were silent. Of Marx, one young man remembered having connected him in current history with a mind kind of socialist movement and of Zamenhof they knew nothing. Next to the history and biography of great Negro characters that of the Jewish race is perhaps the most interesting. It is perhaps not soled in blood, carnage and conquest, but when you survey the spiritual and humanitarian achievements of the Western hemisphere, our names of Jews and others stand out promor校校, that those of any other racial group. Where conquerors and make- kings of kingsdoms and bishops of mankind, we have a memory engra- ved in bronze and stone monuments the great Jewish leaders have engraved in the hearts of men.

Wishing You Credit Attention has been called by a well known local credit man to the part of some individuals of the race to credit standards. He has a poor credit rating in so far as our group is concerned. Compared with many cities, according to a report by the Association, we are far behind.

William Monroe Trotter is the pioneer Negro collegian, who threw himself and all there was in him unto the scale of race service and devotion. He has lost all and gained nothing by way of personal recompense. I would place.Neval H. Thomas on a pedestal and invite young college men and women to look upon his like and imitate his courage, his consecration and his zeal for his race. Courageous College Men, Wm. Trotter, Neval Thomas the meat that is different or apogee of existing discrimination He fought a great department Those of us who have kept close watch of the output of our schools and forced to ask ourselves the question: "Is the young Negro college fan? Finally, we have trained for slim in the earlier years?" The first output of the college, naturalized in New York, was radical service and zeal. The good missionaries who came down from the East to the right hand and the secular text-book in the left. One can only impart that, which he knew when he saw the missionary who was for God and service to the zeal of the missionary was upon him, and he believed in him. Griswold, Crimson, Simmons, George W. Moore, DuBois and James Weldon Johnson are simple fruits of their labor. The New Spirit But the spirit does a day a new element if not a new spirit, has crest into our education. The mercinary motives all has but suppressed the objective of the higher education of the Negro. We may naturally expect to be reflected in the new college-issue. Educational equipment and facili- ties have given the college "The work of the col- lege has been multiplied in efficiency." We taught it in the early 30s, and in 30 years ago. And yet the trusism is as trust-to-day as when it first fell from the tower, in 1818, the spirit maketh alive. Seeking a Career A educator of Negro youth years for the return of that social spirit which actuated the youth a was preparing to reclaim and uplift his race, now the burden of his ambition is to achieve a distinguished Then the objective of his ambition was social, now it is essentially self-conservation. He was the condensation of the younger college men. They are just as worthy and of just as noble nature as the college men before them. But the times have changed. The whole end and aim of college culture is being formed by the allure of the times. The most helpful indication of the younger college men is seen in the organization of fraternities and sororities. They are anxious to harness their energies to some noble social cause. The Negro Sanhedrin engages to show them the more excellent way. Two Stand Out In my mind two college men stand out most conspicuously for vicarious devotion to the welfare of the children. One means is to show the older generation of the Northern college, and the other, the younger breed of the Negro college. William Monroe Trotter is the ploneer. Negro, collegian, who threw himself and all-there was in him into the scale of race service and devotion: He has lost all and gained nothing by way of personal recompense. Others have become thrifty, on comfortable incomes by reason of racial advocacy and zeal. Frederick Douglass was made all that he was or could have hoped to be by espousing the cause of the freedom of his race. Trotter, alone among Negro collegians of his day, had a choice of ways, but like Moses, the Hebrew collegeman in the day of the year, he offered the race, rather than enjoy the ways of prosperity for a season. I. cannot *espouse many* of 'Mr. Kroetter, who is at all vital* variance with him in most of his *modes* of procedure. But I know that it was made of racial rights when all beades were wavering. He is 'shot through with zeal, that will not let him be taken' when he will be taken with he who is depressed in his youth. It would be a fitting tribute if the college men throughout the country would undertake a rare-wide testimonial to William Monroe. Trotter for 30 years, sacrificial devotion to his race without money and without price. Nevai Thomas But the main purpose of this article is to set forth the aitrulistic service, and devotion of a younger college man who is in closer touch with the present college generation. Nevai · H. Thomas was graduated from Howard University in 1901. His spirit and metal showed themselves in his college days. He was always ardently devoted to reform. entered upon teaching in the Washington High School, where he has been engaged in teaching, and which contrasts his power. He completed a course in law, not so much with the expectation of a job, but in order that he might all the more intelligently serve the cause; he had had copedades with his chief responsibility. Nor was his light-long hld under a bushel. Only as a few years after he graduated, he equal and exact justice, for the colored race in the organic art, the district of Columbia. District of Columbia. He was the only colored teacher of the entire school before the committees of Congress in this behalf. He insisted in and out of session that the colored students, appliances and facilities. He insisted with the whites in school appropriations, appliances and facilities. He insisted to his more, moderate and restrained colored superiors. But he insisted all the more. The referrer must always take liberties with the established-professionals. The United States Naval District fought the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to establish citizens in the restaurant under the court's control. The colored lawyers were the first to fight.

The store with large colored patrons and compiled it to remove discrimination and compiled it to remove discrimination patrons. He also fought segregation in the restaurant of the Senate in the United States Capitol. Mr. Thomas has waged casualism to give colored girls the same opportunity for library training as in earning the sobriquet. He has earned the sobriquet. Brown of the District of Columbia Nurtured N. A. A. C. P. More concrete, advantages have come to the colored cities of the country. The tremendous tamenetic advocacy of this college reformer than through all other colleges, heavy loaded with college men from the North and, from the South, as well as from the South and from the Tebbons, the reform has wrought more valiantly than them all. The growth which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thrives in this jurisdiction. But for the first time, the thriven plant out of dry ground. But mathly through his courageous initiative, the college chapter is the largest in the country. On National Board Mr. Thomas is a member of the National Board of Directors of the N.A.A.C.P. and is rapidly extending the radius and range of his potential influence. The test of sincerity and genuineness of character is determined by the response of the common people. The common people will always hear gladly any one who speaks from the heart. As in the water face answerset to face, so the heart of man to the heart of man. Mr. Thomas is the idol of the masses. He speaks their language better than they can speak for themselves. But they know a true note when they hear it. They cannot be fooled by a hollow or artificial voice, however learned or appealing it may appear. Audiences all over the country hang spell bound on his words. Reform and Oratory Thomas Wentworth Higgins used to say: "If you want to become an orator join a reform." Mr. Thomas has the oratory of the reformer. He has no new doctrine to proclaim, but repeats the philosophy of Charles.—equality of rights with the "T" dotted and the "T" crossed. Like William Lloyd Garrison, he will not equivocate nor recede one inch. He has the courage of his cause and cares nothing of the effects upon his personal welfare. He has never received one cent for his racial service, but gives freely of his own means. As in case of Mr. Trotter, I do not follow Mr. Thomas in all of his moods and methods, but he commands an unlimited measure of my respect and admiration. Many in We do not desire that all college men should be like Neval H. Thomas all-of-the idiosyncrasies and peculiarities of the world, but the full measure of his sacrifice, and devotion our curses would be well on the way of solution. Fifty More Are Needed Fifty well trained, well polished, consecrated college men turned toward the city, well distributed among the callings and professions throughout the mass of the race, would put a new education, a new generation. But as things are now trending in the direction of narrow efficiency from the college group dishs us with a mixed feeling of hopes and fears. I would place New York in the center and invite young college men and women to look upon his like, and imitate his courage, his consecration and his zeal for his race. 15 Years Ago Items: From The Afro American of December, 1899 Dr. W.T.
