OLE MISS. MOB LYNCHES ITS 531ST VICTIM Unmasked Whites Take Prisoner Just Acquitted from Courthouse Door SHERIFF GIVES UP WITHOUT RESISTANCE Lynching Follows Within Week Of State-Wide Appeals Against Mobs Clarksdale, Miss.—Mississippi mobs lynched their 531st victim Saturday night. The dead man is Lindsey Coleman who was taken out into the suburbs of St. Louis and shot to death in the unmashed moth a few minutes after a jury in Circuit Court had declared him not guilty of the murder of Grover G. Nichols, white, a plantation store manager, or five men, thrust revolvers under the sheriff's nose and bundling the prisoner into an automobile, whisked him away. There was no excitement until Sheriff and his deputy offered to resistance. Of the four men arrested—for the murder, two have received the death sentence and one has yet to be convicted. Governor Henry L. Whitfield when advised of the lynching issued a statement "deploring that Clarkesville was the target of a crime." He said nothing, however, about prosecuting the members of the mob. If he did, so everyone would know. From the 541 lynchings from this State, not a single member of the mobs have been punished. Just one week ago an $8 paged printout in the "Mississippi" and the Mob" was published and broadcast throughout the State. Its author is J. M. Flowers, head of the Mob. The printout also poised to the sheer risk and other State authorities to protect prisoners with Washington—Judge Robert H.

Major Washington Wires Afro That Newspaper Reports Arc False DESPATCHES SENT OUT BY ASSOCIATED PRESS Cadet Commander Said To Have Been Ordered To Leave At Once Major Allen Washington, Commandant at Hampton Institute, Hampton, W.A., wired the Afro today denying newspaper reports of a Ku Klux visit to the school. The following report was sent out by the Associated Negro Press Monday. New York, N.

A note was also left warning Major Allen (Washington, commandant of the school) leave the school within ten days.

PROFESSORS STATE DURKEE MORE FITTED FOR PULPIT THAN UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY Kelly Miller Says Durkee Is Vindictive With Wild, Extravaent Notions And Knows Nothing About Education—Dr. Charles Wesley Says Durkee's Place Is Pulpit—Dr. William Tunnell Says Durkee Lacks Academic Experience And Is Hard To Get Along With BY ALUMNUS Another strike of serious proportions is brewing at Howard University. The students in whose interest they are are aroused to the gravity of the situation. They have sent the trustees the following resolutions: "Whereas, We the members of the Students' Council of Howard University, in the action of the Board of Trustees regarding the Reorganization Plan which included the summary dismissal of four professors and the merging of the School of Commerce and into the College of Liberal Arts, and Summary Action "Whereas, we, the members of the Students' Council, feel that such summary action denies the students of Howard University of some contacts contribute to our higher education, we believe that Howard spirit, as well as denies the Negro race of certain developments; "Be it resolved that the opinion of the Students' Council of Howard University he recorded as not approving the action of the Board, of which he was Signed by Edward Lovett, President; and Genevieve Lomax, Corresponding Secretary. Nerve Shown The students have most reluctantly been drawn into a matter of race significance, they have thus shown that they are not the only students should have drawn up such resolutions long ago. The resentment has been somewhat seen that the color of the students should be the very day of the hearing. What, however, some of them did on that day to Durkheim may partly excuse them for their former indifference. Final Scene It begins to look now as through the final scene in the catastrophe of Durkheim is almost ready for the final scene in the publicity has neglected to do for him, his trustees have unwittingly relaxed relative to the four dismissed professors—a clumsy attempt at a compromise between right and left, and a kind of legislation which ordinarily leads men out of public life whenever their tenure depends upon the fate of the people. Here is their action. Eliminations 1. Voted, that the action of the Executive Committee and the Budget Committee of the Board of Trustees in the matter of the discournishment of the Board of Trustees, be, and hereby is ratified as carrying out the directions of the Board of Trustees in the matter of eliminations, contensions, etc. in connection with the reorganization program of the University; as adopted June 2, 1925. Leave Of Absence "2. Voted, also that I teach much as the Executive Committee and the Budget Committees had no instruction that they took with reference to the separation of certain professors on account of the consolidations and reductions made to the reorganization of the university, trustees hereby grant leave of absence to the following four persons, beginning July 1, 1925, for one year, salaries to be met for the same time, regular academic salaries last received by them: Alain L. Looke Professor of Philosophy; Alonzo H. McGraw, Professor of Mathematics; Melz T. P. Lochard, Assistant Professor of French; and Orlando C. Thornton, Instructor in Finance and Business Organization. At the end of this year, the conclusion of those persons with the University shall cease." Irregularity This action is a confession of the irregularity attending the dismissals of these four professors, and President Jones, should explain immediately to the gasping public not what this action means and what has led to its enactment. The professors were dismissed on June 15, 1925, and the information was released by Howard University. The fiscal year begins on July 1, so the explanation that these men had upon another year will not be yield. Durkee Explains Shortly after their dismissals Dr Durkee explained the action as follows: The trustees of Howard are faced with the absolute necessity of cutting down the force of teachers and merging departments for economy and efficiency. It is the same problem that is facing Deception Eloquent This eloquent deception was sent to every Senator and Congressman who asked for an explanation of the sudden action of Dr. Durkee and fully asks those statements to pull out this letter of last June to compare its contents with facts that have since developed. Dr Durkee's written statement. Howard University merely caught the spirit of economy as exemplified by the government's responses, he could point to the saving of the "enormous" sum of $5,000 His definite assurance that "not one of the places will be filled" lent the economy a certainty to his economy statement. Durkee Onlv Kidding To prove to the public that Dr. Durkee was not only "kidding" credulous Congressman the trustees honourably with his statement which he never once thought might reach the press, for the appointment of Prof. Parker who was not seriously needy. Following this, the trustees voted to send Dr. Durkee on an expensive joyride around the country to bear witness to the injustice of Howard University. He was not to attempt to raise funds, but merely to give Howard publicity. The project was to be an award given to a newly appointed compreter was to run the university. His salary was to be $3,000. His services not to go on such joint and the advanced knowledge, that there was beckoning in store for him kept this $10,000 prize president at home, where he is giving his expertise and more than his expertise to help宝 The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly More Increases Next followed increases in salaries especially for the well behaved. Prof. Parker's appointment and these increases amount to about eleven times what the four professors economized out of Howard received. "Oh, could I have the funds necessary," wailed Howard's histrionic president, "how this work could and would be expanded. Just now we are forced to contract." This appeal has dramatic possibilities, and $8,000 Gift Now in December, when warranted Congressmen are expected to answer this cloquent appeal, which will take on our feet by the announcement red-hot from the trustees that Howard's frigidity infuriates a gift professors, with the further bounty of a year's leave of absence. Meanwhile, full followers are being emceed by the president. Will President Brown come forth with the statement explaining why those professors are given a leave of absence, and why their services are so clearly needed that Howard is paying students to teach students? The public demands an explanation. The students demand an explanation. Letter In a letter concerning one of these dismissed professors, Dr. Durkee makes plain that the professor has not because of failure on his part, but solely because the University can do its work and not need him. He says the professor should sake if the University can do its work without those men, what is the grand idea of giving them full salary for doing nothing? If the salaries are available, the professor should say that they were not, why blamed students to teach students while fully paid professors of seasoned experience are now on the payroll? Bungled Lezislation If the bungled legislation of June dismissed these professors, the more bungled legislation of December has reinstated them, thus repudiating Durkee's own decision. Durkee got his two committees in June to fire these professors while he looked on as a member of one of the committees. In December reinstated these men, for if they have not been reinstated, they have no right on the payroll. Their names will now appear in bibliographic with the notation "on Why On Leave Why, pray, are they on leave? They are not pursuing studies. They are not ill. They are not old enough to be pensioned. These trustees of the university Grunwald United Order of Fun-Creators, when will they cease to make Howard the sport of educational institutions? They have made two ornamental debs without colleges — one "E" and one "H." They have ordained an "Alumni Secretary" a globe-troiter whose chief business this fall was to raise funds to purchase football players to bear arms but to assure them of their men. Now they have put professors on leave with full pay. Leaves A professor on educational leave receives half pay. A professor on economic leave receives him. A former professors seek reinstatement and an economic leave. The reader must have some idea of the importance of the university administration of Howard University in if we became big-handed enough to let be. Durkee alone for a few weeks, and then another misfit requiring a whole poniture of money to attempt to rescue himself. He never lets an opportunity to embrace a blunder escape him. Can't Buy Peace If the trustees really think that they can purchase peace by improving professors, they are wrong again. Their action has made the case a matter of national importance, worse than they have ransomed him, but they have. They have made a grounded play for peace, but there will be no peace reigns. University will end Dr. Durkee resigns. Trustees Assume Blame Now for the first glimpse of the hearing, all of which the writer will trust, he must take the session. The trustees tried to take the their feet by assuming all of the responsibility for Dr. Durkee's acts. He mentioned that since they were not present, he had no time on trial, there were virtually no charges that could be presented against Durkee. They refused to listen to Durkee. They refused to document that might sustain the charges. Nevertheless, the hearing was productive of many benefits. Professors Manly Miller Called Back The chairman referred to Dean Miller's statement as being frank, but warned him that he must not argue. Later, Dean Miller was called back to speak on the Curry School. He delivered the following philippine: "I will be here for five days, one day last spring, as I recall. He said, 'There is a Curry culture here.'" He showed it to me, the Curry School of Expressioni, of which Dr. Durkee was put down as president, and I said to him. That is very interesting, and wondered how he did. Durkee could have written it in the hand and another institution in the left hand. So I said, I believe I will send for a copy, and I did send, to see what school it was that Dr. Durkee could manage at the same time that he was managing Howard University. Durkee's Red Ink "A few days afterward I got an envelope from President Durkee's office, and there was a little note, "You should have taken up this matter with me." Well, in addition there was an enclosed typewritten statement recounting the whole story of the attack, stating that it was offered to blim and the trustees gave him permission to serve the school, and his secretary, Miss Howard, had accepted a position of secretary of that school. Admitted Color Bar "I have no interest in any of the these things; he volunteered to put them in this letter, in his account of my utter astonishment that no colored student had ever been admitted, and that if the issue were raised he would have to resign. When I gave him that information I did not mention it. " I regarded it as an insult to every colored man in the United States who had normal racial sensibilities, that stands for the highest degree of respect for him. " he could at the same time accept another school, that did not admit colored people. " That struck me as the most astonishing, as I stated before, according to my view that means something, especially as an insult to the trustees of this board that the President of the University should send a letter to where if Mr. Afro-American "I did not answer, but an article appeared in the Baltimore AFO-AMERICAN recounting what he stated to me in this circular com- ments, writing this to you and to the Registrar confidentially," I could not keep confidence in any matter that insulted the Negro race, and I would not be a party to any such understanding. I did show this letter to several members of the faculty. I believe some are here now, but I did not publish it outside the University circle, little more than in Baltimore. AFO-AMERICAN. I wrote Dr. Durkee then that I had no relation to it in its appearance in the public press and received a note from him." Doctor Wesley "There are some questions that cannot be answered absolutely in the affirmative. I have done a very large substantial work in the way of increasing the financial and physical resources of the University. On the other hand, I believe my Purpose is a man who has such a temperament and such a manner that it makes it exceedingly hard to get along with him. I am not a personal clash with him, no conflict whatever with the president of the University. I have had very little contact: I am not a doom, and the counsel I received from him has been necessarily few, more or less of an official character, particularly as the man who has been taking charges of commencement and handling crowds on public occasions in the No Academic Experience "I, however, am pretty certain that it may be due to the fact that President Durkee had no academic experience when he came to the University that his government was harsh at times. I have been under the impression that he has been somewhat aristocratic, unsocial, and has come in contact with the faculty and personally, with the great rank and file of the people. "I have also a feeling that there has been almost a philocoratic touch between the salary and the relationship between the salary of the president of the University and the salaries of the members of the faculty has been so marked that it would have been difficult for us to have come before your honorable body from time to time to have some sort of adequate compensation for the services which we are rendering the University." Two Strikes "I am persuaded in the light of the fact that we have met two other candidates. The University brought on, to a large degree, by what we may call almost autocratic leadership." Baltimore, Md. great deal of trouble, the administration looking at it from the morale side and purely academic side, has not been a success. He will be presented next week. The reader is asked to compare these opinions with the oft-repeated ideas of Alumnus. If Dr. Durkee's administration is correct, other opinions of these articles, he might have escaped his inevitable humiliation. Part of our effort next week will he to expose Dr. Durkee's facility and other articles he will answer one of the falsehoods. His own words relative to Dr. Turner's resignation will be given next week. He declared that he would attend the appointment at Hampton. Here is Dr. Turner's signed statement. More of this preacher-president's testimony will be shown as vicious falsehoods. Dr. Turner's Letter Hampton Institute, Va. December 15, 1925 Mr. F. Maurice Murray, Jr. I have just had occasion to read the Tribute of December 12, giving a sort of report of the sessions of the University sitting to hear the charges which the Alumni brought against J. Stanley Durkee. While I have been so busy that I have not had chance to give due attention, and too, it has been my effort to remain, as far as possible, out of the controversy, since I have recently left the University from Dr. Durkee in which my name was mentioned in your paper are so automatically false that I would not be doing justice to Dr. Durkee but due police, thereby embarrassing the University officials. With regard to this I will quote a letter from Dr. Durkee: Durkee's Letter July 8, 1924. Prof. T. W. Turner: Howard University. Dear Prof. Turner: Your resignation as Professor of Botany in the Trustees of Howard University I am accepting the same as of this date. I. STANLEY DURKEE. It will be seen quite clearly that the above statement was palpably false as July would have been any university in the country would be expected to give, when schools open the lst of October. I will admit, however, that there might have been some enchirubation before the Washington School Board met in its closing June meeting. Durkee Given Llc The nextounding false statement which is alleged to have been made by Dr. Durkee is, that it was largely upon that Dr. Durkee was placed at Hampton. I do not hostile to say that Dr. Durkee had about as much to do with Dr. Turner's going to Washington Tribune. I have been more or less connected with Hampton Institute for five or six years. I have been deeply developed at Howard, the invitation was before me to accept work at Hampton Institute, so the only possible influence that Dr. Turner's contributions to cut down equipment, keep students out of the department, and make work less agreeable at Howard is to influence the requirements which I hope you will make public, because of the seeming attempt to place the situation falsely before the public.

Audences and press have crowned the efforts of that musician with creation success than the dreamed of. Recently the zank donated their services for a week to the Swedish Red Cross Association "Prince Carl Philip" and president of the organization. A personal letter was sent the leader thanking the band for its services, including one private for the Associated Press of the World. One of the greatest honors bestowed on the organization was a musical performance, including one private for the Associated Press of the World. Sam Wooding is called the King of Jazz and is the marvel of his hearsens as a conductor. "Strut" Payne Arthur "Strut" Payne is also called the drummer of the instrument, a professionalism seems to give way to feeling and artistic taste. He is a bass of distinction. The 11 members of the drummer's ensemble of record players play numbers in the tempo of the day, quick, eager, exciting, rushing forward with measured accentuated rhythm, and with a band that their European invasion will, doubtlessly, not terminate for a considerable time. The organization is proving as successful in Vienna as it was in Germany and Sweden. NE A. B. Is what Johnny Hudgins Receives at the "Club Alabam" for his weekly service.

Saturday, December 25 CAPITAL ADDS S711 TO SWEET FUND 2,000 Hear Arthur Garfield Hayes, Associate Of Clarence Darrow JOHN WESLEY CHURCH CROLDED TO CAPACITY Sweet Defense Based On Ground That A Man's Home Is His Castle Washington, D. C.—Over 2000 persons, John Wesley A. M. Zion Church, Sunday, to hear Arthur Garfield Hayes, counsel associated with Clarence Darrow, defense of the Sweet case of Detroit. Pictures made the appeal for funds and the collection totalled $711 in cash, and additional sums in subscriptions toward the N. A. A. C. P., $0,000 legal defense fund. Part of this fund will also be used to fight the segregation and the white primary cases to be tried before the United States Supreme Court According to Mr. Hayes, the Sweet case in Detroit is no more a Negro case than the Scopes case was a religious case, unlawful under the laws of American freedom. The Sweet case, he said, was based on the ground that a man's home is his castle. He has a right to defend whatever means are at his command. "Little by little," he said. "American citizens are losing the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. In no part of the country today can the right of free speech and assemblage be fully exercised. In the name of prohibition homes are being searched without warrant, and the Chinamen were arrested and thrown into fall under, no proper authority. The Sweet case merely happens to have a colored man defend in a phase of the fight for American freedom."

M. C. A. here Thursday afternoon to discuss tentative plans for the Thanksgiving game in 1926. The meeting was held behind closed doors and no definite statement was given to the press. It is understood that the Control of Lincoln was told the meeting. The meeting was represented by Dr. Emmett Scott, Dr. E. P. Davis and Coach Louis Watson. Lincoln's officials were Dr. T. S. Burrell, George Johnson, Dr. S. Young, Dr. Hillburn and Dr. Carr were the present. Although no statement was issued after the meeting it was rumored that the issue ended in a dealbreak. It was the purpose of the association made up of teams from Howard, Lincoln, Morgan, Fisk, Wilberforce, W. Virginia, Knox, Morehouse, Tennessee and Atlanta. It was announced out that the Thanksgiving Day game between Lincoln and Howard is the biggest money maker and practical competition on the other hand, Lincoln's schedule will be limited to meeting me before squads while out of the state and will be in action for the entire game. If this can be overcome it will be thought Lincoln will readily join the proposed association. Howard is already planning his 11th game in the main the same schools played this year. It is said a proposal was suggested that Howard make overtures. Howard fairly refused and would only enter the C I. A. A. providing the officers of that body made the first offers and then the Association will have to change several rules to fit A number of Lincoln students favor the Pennsylvania school lining up with the Thanksgiving games but the Thanksgiving games receipts are powerful factors in determining the success of athletics at the school. Howard is building a buge studios and the Lincoln will have to play all of her home games in other towns to draw. This will incur a huge expense as the school is too far from centers of population and pay rent alone will cost, around $5,000.

The "Y" Five was leading at the end of the first period, 18 to 14. The original Scholasties are disbanded for the season, according to Manager "Jole" Saunders, and have cancelled all games scheduled for the season. The team that fell a victim to the Big Five was composed of members of the defunct Scholars. Altho White was the high scorer with 9 field goals. Thomas, in guard, was casually the outstanding performer. As a guardman he can be ranked in the class with the seasoned "Bill" Harris, of the Athletians. A clean player, good on the defense and offense, a dead shot. Thomas can be classed among the best guards in the The passing game of the Big Five proved superior to their opponents. White was always ahead, but after his mates had broken thru the Scholars' defense, Tom Hays injected into the game in the second half accounted for six of the one marker from the free throw line. The work of Allor in forward saved the Scholars from a greater factor in his shooting than the factor for his team. At times Rhodes showed flashes of his brilliant form of 1923 and 1924. It was seen that he was out of condition. Payne, Shields and Jackson rounded out the Scholar combine.

But my impression is "The information might have grown from a situation like this. Often I've been told that some of my men were down at certain places etc. etc., but I don't know if they have been for the team and who had just-quit, or been dropped." "Allow me to thank you most-heartily for your kind consideration of our team, its coaching, its management, and its team that we forget the wisdom and great step which your paper has made and stands for, in trying to ascertain the TRUTH of a matter before publication.

Eates (Chappie) Gardner, former coach at Morris Brown and recognized football authority says the Aro's method of selecting an All-American is modern and popular. Gardner's letter to the MIRROK follows: "I have been waiting for your All-American, say it today in this week's release. Very good, fine. And your method of inviting coaches to assist in the selection is both modern and popular. "I was particularly glad to see you included Iwain of Morehouse, Key West, as his mate at the ballpark. I was proud of the best tacklers in the league. I mean white or colored. Last year I was seated beside some former Yale and Harvard men in Atlanta during the A. U. and Morehouse game. After seeing Iwain smear plays, blockades and recover balls, tackle, run back punts and starring in every game of play-by-play, the ballmen (male) said there never was a tackle to Iwain's equal."

Are fraternities college athletes as they are said "Stevenson, of Tuskegee, is another super-player. Coaches made no mistake in picking him. This player has no near competitor. In my opinion he is way ahead a class by himself. It takes only fair dealing, unprejudiced feeling to rate such players properly. Offenses coaches—like so many women want their "pets" put forward or they can't see anyone else—get a chance to see Tuskegee play, see Yale, Harvard, Syracuse, Army, Michigan and Illinois—COMARE. You will know why I pick the entire Tuskegee team for my All-American, 1925. I have placed Anderson, Lincoln; Ward, Force; Curt, of Wiley as backs on her team also. The modern game has two sets of backs. "Pressure back" for plunging and running backs for end runs and long gait. Each set as good as the other. I appointed Turner, quarter of W. Virginia as cap "There we have a team—a working combination that shows everything an All-American team must have, viz-speed, weight courage and endurance. All-American must be stars—as such there are four things that enter into his makeup; ability, results, of all men, being adjacent to publicity." "A careful survey of members of my first team will justify my claim that these Rueck players are White All-American defenders of the American game—white-black." IN REFERENCE OF FRATERNITIES George E. Banks, 2447 Georgia Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C., takes issue with an article in this column last week, labeling fraternities as a growing evil. The article Mr. Banks refers to stated that according to reports the frat spirit predominated school sports and brought out the fact that fraternities the former should be seconded to the fraternities made to realize that the game is the thing. We pointed out the evil that would be caused by the two organizations fighting for control of athletics. In the meantime the various college sports would suffer. Mr. Bank's letter follows: "My attention was attracted to a statement on your page in this week's edition. You are told that as a molder of opinion, you are broad-minded, you are impartial, you are fair. I further believe, that you will accept this letter in the spirit that it is written and because of these beliefs I am led to think that you will not misuse my actions for boldness of presumption. You are told that give thru your columns, with your help, the other side of the question. Are fraternities as destructive to the promotion of college athletics as they are said to be? "FRAT" MEN LEADERS Mr. Editor, my answer to you is in the words of the Editor of the —Sphinx—the official organ of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity: "We hear so many reports now-a-days of fraternity policies in college. Again and again we see the track team that the debating teams, the school publications, the class offices and even the faculties and what of it? Fraternity men are the leaders in their respective schools. If they are not—they should be. It is because of their inherent qualities for leadership that they are attracted to the fraternities. We are not the football captain. He is not the football captain and later fraternity man. If a man displays absolutely no qualities of leadership or intent of what use is he to a fraternity or any other organization of worth? Brilliant man in the fraternity attract other men of like calibre. A college fraternity is—not-of drones. This is college activities lurge in the hands of fraternity men. It is a natural condition. It should be so. It is not a reflection on the school—or on the fraternities—they should be proud to supply the leaders. Only a few of us are leaders—the vast majority are only followers." Editor: This is the rule. There are exceptions, but isn't a rule made intentionally to govern the majority? STUDENTS ARE NECESSARY EVILS: One gets the impression when talking with Mason Hawkins, principal of the Douglass High School, that the students are necessary in the school system. A school schedule was presented to Athletic Council last week was cut to 10 games by this body at a recent meeting without any explanation to the students or members of the team. All efforts to find the cause of this radical reduction from Mr. Hawkins's schedule would hold the students are not supposed to get news of the school from newspapers. Yet the students are climming for this information. Just why this reduction effecting thousands of students and taxpayers who are interested in the school athletics should be kept a beyond dark secret" by Mr. Hawkins who is a servant of the school. The members of this body who are paid by the people should not hold secret meetings and pass any order in regards to pupils and with hold any information from the public. With the school body should make any change in the circumstances and make him public to know the cause and reason is too much authority. Mr. Ralph Cook, a member of this committee, stated that the proposed schedule would take too much of the students time away from studies. Mr. Gilson, athletic director said the change was for the best interests of the students and the tentative schedule would interfere with other school duties. Mr. Hawkins said there was only one schedule and that one was passed by the committee. However he refused to say why the proposed one was cut 40 percent.

The funeral services were held in the undertaking of establishment of Mrs. Ethel Miller, 64 West 127th Street. Mrs. Sikl, wife of the former heavyweight champion of the world, died on April 22, two Senegalese friends of the boxer that they would not be permitted to put a pair of boxing gloves in the coffin. The gloves were used by the boxer, Senegalese friend's Sikl American and Senegalese friends vetoed the proposition. The rumored outbreak on account of the death of the boxer Over 2,000 people gathered around the funeral parlor while the services were conducted by the Rev. A. Chayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, in 1358 street Pray to Allah Seven of the dead man's Mohammedan friends prayed to Allah in Arabic that the slain man might be freed from the Sikh's exploits in the World War. War were cited where he won the Croix de Guerre and Medaille Militaire for his bravery in front. It was also brought out that he had won 40 of his 46 ring battles. In the course of the service, Rev. P. P. Crawford, known for out civilization as the No man ever came out of Africa who lived a more dramatic life or had a more skilful stock of preparation and a more purpose were the two most dreadful mistakes of his life. Our civilization is perhaps more to blame for these misfortunes.

Doubt is expressed as to whether he was killed by the burials customs of the Sengalese his native African tribe were outraged. The casket was placed in a metallic casket and a wooden box, despite wishes of his countrymen to bury him covered only with a linen shirt. With every Senegalese warrior are buried also his weapon. Mrs Siki an American wouldn't allow her husband's old boxing gloves to be placed in a Mohammedan. He believed there is but one God and Allah is his prophet. Yet he was buried according to Siki himself could have seen all these things he would have been quite as puzzled in death as he was in the past, as he was, he never understood contradictions of American life. He never understood why it was unlawful to sell liquor in America, but he didn't comprehend the civilization which permitted only one wife but many women as a man could support, nor was he aware how many Americans in America citizens yet restricted by a color line. This Senegalese fighter who could not understand queer American kulture, and who earned over $100,000 via liquor made his biggest mistake when he left hospitable Paris to find a fortune in the United States, he earned over $100,000 and spent on women and song, but mostly wine.

Service GARAGE MAdison 0443 Denouncing the court and seeking to vent her wrath on J. Stewart Davis, attorney for William Nance, charged with killing her daughter, J. Scott, mother of slain girl, he to be held by her friends in Criminal Court this day. Nance, who was given a twelve-year term in the Maryland Penitentiary when he pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree on the advice of his attorney, shot and killed Miss Ida Scott with whom he lived on November 11. The Court accepted the plea without testimony it was said that the killing grew out of an all night Crinkling brave at the Nance home. The accused man was arrested the day following the killing in Washington where he had gone in a drunken stupor. He was found wandering about the city, so felonious that he did not know that he had killed his alleged mate. Denouncing Court. When the sentence was announced without putting witnesses on the stand, Mrs. Scott grew furious and attempted to reach Attorney Davis in the court room, but was restrained by those near him. Davis was appointed by the court to represent the accused man. "Mr Christmas wish is that there be a greater religious stimulus among the people of Baltimore, effecting a more sympathetic relation between the faith and clergy and a greater appreciation of the ministry duties of the church and that there be a greater race enthusiasm along all commercial and civic interests."—Dr. Herndon White, 1029 Madison avenue. ```markdown ``` FOR SANITARY AND TASTY Food Visit the New Lincoln Restaurant DRUID HILL AVE., AT BIDDLE OPEN ALL NIGHT GOOD SERVICE — GOOD FOOD EVERYTHING SANITARY Czo.

Mechen and unanimously recommended Walter S. Emerson for the mispriced term of Ward executive held by the late Lawson N. Duffin. This action on the part of the 14th Ward Republican put the sight squarely up to Charlie Main and the City and State Executive Committee. Since the recent announcement that John R. Goldsborough has been designated by one of the political factions to head the forces in the City, the rumblings of a super seated fight have been constantly heard. Leaders of the party contend that the mantle of Mr. Duffin should go by natural succession of Mrs. Anna L. McMechen, his vice executive. The women of the Ward were also up in arms because of the seeming intention on the part of the city leaders to ignore the role in the party councils in the entire Republican leadership of the 14th Ward, as well as the Republican sentiment in the Northwest section, seem to favor Mr. Emerson. The recent meeting was largely attended and very enthusiastic. The following committee was appointed to convey the wishes of the party to City Chairman Main: Josiah Diggs, Mrs. J. J. Kahler, white, John F. Oliver, and Mrs. Anna L. McMechen. Will You Suffer From Colds This Winter ```markdown ``` PRINCIPAL H. T. PRATT IS BIG BROTHER TO SPECIAL CLASS The boys of special class.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder "Once again the mutations of time ever rolling onward, have brought us together again at the close of another year. While we are here, others who looked as fair to live as we did one year ago have passed into the great beyond. At this time that we wonder about the future, whether life is worth living. It will be worth living if at the end we can look back upon a life well spent, a life of usefulness, a life of service to our fellow man, if we have kept our bodies undefiled, if we have grasped the substance of life, if we have learned no matter what is in the dim distant future, no matter what is behind the cloud that bars the invisible from the visible we have to know that life is worth living. Greetings From all sections of the country this week came Christmas greetings to the country thru the AFRO-AMERICAN. Leaders of great enterprises, North, East, West and South, asked to wire a Christmas message to this newspaper responded in terms that cannot be misunderstood. The year has brought unprecedented material prosperity. There have been no hard times. Business has been good and the prospect is that present conditions will continue to improve. Several years ago Mr. Charles R. Shilladay, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People resigned because he felt the battle for citizenship rights well-nigh hopeless. Today his successor, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, with a $50,000 legal defense fund almost subscribed, a part victory in the Sweet case, pardon in the offing for all of the 24th Infantrymen involved in the Houston outrage and the segregation cases and the democratic primary cases pending next month in the U. S. Supreme Court, wires that the outlook for victory was never more bright than at this Christmas season. Thus every telegram, printed on another page of this issue, runs the note of optimism, of faith in the colored people to succeed in this civilization, of confidence that we are going forward and not backward—a right merry Christmas message. Soothing Syrup having opposed the election of Mr. Calvin Coolidge to the White House, and ridiculed who did not denounce the Nix and because of his unwillingness to make definite campaign promises, he asked the AFRO-AMERICANQN can not be expected to cry out "I told you so after every presidential message. The only weekly which I support from the AFRO, to specifically the only journal today which is not denouncing him. While serving the unexpired term, the AFRO asked by a delegation with a petition signed by 100,000 persons to pardon the soldiers of the 62nd Infantry Corps, all allegedly housed in Houston, Texas. The President said among other things that day this: "I have always felt in matters concerning our colored people they should be given the It was the thought of the President that colored people are the awards of the nation who sympathy and help not citizens who are able to rule rights and are protected. To him we are children, not men, and so he talks to the American Legion of "oloration" and to Congress about protection of citizens from violence. In the case of his last message to the President, the President said: "It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to own their lives and to protect the public." This does not侵入 materially, physically or morally, to incite revolution or to violate established customs which have long had the sanction of cullightened society. There are those who see in this last sentence, inference that the president puts his stamp of approval on segregation, displacement and Jim crow laws, which these have been believed to not take this view. Certainly Mr. Coolidge could hardly refer to illegal segregation and displacement in the GWENED society. That the President is making a demilitaristic legislative proposal can hardly be read into this paragraph. We do maintain that the purpose of soothing syrup which has emanated from the White house for the past two years, the book of which is by no means excluded.

Mr. Goodlow's letter is printed in full elsewhere in this paper, and to it we can only answer, we trust he will never need Mr. Darrow's services. Thrust in the shadow of the pententiquity by a mob of Christians, who are determined he shall not live in peace in his own home—as was the case of Dr. Ossian Sweet of Detroit, whom Mr. Darrow is defending—perchance Mr. Goodlow would sing a different tune, Nebraska is not so far from Michigan, and we dare prophesy that what happened in Michigan in 1825 is not If all the Christians we know are like the mob which attempted to drive Dr. Sweet from his home and climb on the娶婚架, him crowds, distribute flowers, and wise give colored folk a crooked deal in America, and all the infidels, we cast out with the infidels. The essence of Christianity as we understand, it isn't so much belief as action — love your neighbor as you love yourself. Mr. Darrow's life is built more nearly according to the Golden Rule than the crowd of so-called Christians separate young men's and example associations necessary or oppose unification of the Methodist Church. Church Sects, with the Methodist Church, separate members and bishops. If there be any golden rule Christianity in the church, we have to have to have pointed out. They Christians, we admit; but we can make them forget it any Sunday morning we ask to be shown a front door of their so-called Christian temples. As we see it, Christianity is an ideal toward which the world strives, and we are all hammed, Buddha, and Confucius who are better men than we are, and we thank God he hasn't made us all millions of other people all wrong. We assert our belief in God in Jesus Christ, in the effectiveness of Christ, in the influence of Christ, in the theory of evolution. At the same time we wish there were more men like Clarence Darrell and Bill Clinton. Video Rule is of talking about. Ol' Mississippi "Appalls by persons high in authority admonishing the people that the time has come when they must rise up and put down the weapons (tyrching) may help to create a public conscience but the time has come to SUBSTITUTE the citizen knows that, for some crimes in most instances it is perfectly safe to join a mob organization. He expects to be met by a police force that resistance and curseur appeals by public spirited citizens. But these make no impression upon men who are aroused by the violence MEN IN SUCH STATE OF MIND RESPECT NOTHING BUT FORCE." From Mississippi And The Moor Park Association distributed an 80 page pamphlet last week condemning lynching, a mob took a prisoner just found not guilty a prisoner not found guilty a prisoner not found guilty Clarkeidale, Miss., and lynched him. Mississippi leads the United States in lynching. This is the sixth outrage this year, and the 53st in the State since 1885 One of the specially cruel outbreaks was the lynching of a man in Sidney Townes, August 11 at Scooby, Miss. Four other men and a 16 year old boy committed the list of mob vengeance years. Governor Whitefield in his inaugural message dated January 1924 said "I can count all the lynchings in my life, and the commonwealth to use every means within their power to prevent lynchings, and thus eliminate a potent source of race tension." Yesterday after the Clarkeside lynching, the Governor said, It is to be very much rehired by the governor as Clarkeside, a few people should have so far forgotten the highest interests of the State as to commit a crime so horrible, it is said of a sheriff derelict in his duty, notching the States Attorney at Clarkeside, whose duty it is to prosecute the mob, nothing more, and instructs to the grand jury should cover law and order. Nothing but words. With the Mississippi State Attorney, we believe the time has come to SUBSTITUTE COMMAND FOR APPEAL. If Mississippi, the most lawless State wants law and order we want her representative to the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. It provides federal punishment for members of mobs, it provides disbandment of $3,000 fines upon counties where lynchings occur. Out of 551 lynchings, Mississippi lynchmen made a single member of a mob. Since the State cannot preserve order ought there be, any reasonable objection to the punishment assembled, any punishment. Call VErnon 6016 FORUM In a meeting of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association's convention at the Wabash Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago, you learn that the Pullman Company is the friend of the porters." This is interesting but not convincing. The true marks of friendship are the willingness of one to attempt to, at least, meet their needs, but certainly you will not contend, unless you have a very low opinion of the Negro, that the company has done, the wishes or met the needs of the porters. For it is obvious that the porters wish and need a fair day's pay for a fair day's work; but no reasonable person will maintain that $67.50 a month, or $2.25 a day, and perhaps no other worker in America, is a fair day's pay. If you answer that the porters make tips, may I ask, do you think that the organization like the Pulman Company to convert the porters into professional beginners in order to support their work? Do they want to depend upon the charity of the public for a living for you and your family? No other group of railroad employees, as certain, as well as demoralizing practice. Besides, Would Rather Go To Jail Than Be Saved By Darrow Has the Negro gene insane? Has he becomes so wrapped up in the idea that he is willing to take a covenantal attitude? Why has he rushed pill-mell after this blathering infidel Darrow? Ossian Sweet may be innocent. Ossian Sweet may deserve his liberty. Before God. Ossian Sweet had the right to protect his life. I inquire of him that rather suffer sentence than be saved by an infidel. Where is God that we have to turn to God-laters for justice? In the case of John Stuart, N. A. A. C. P., which at one time I believe, believed in God, should discard the God of Jacob and Moses to enrich an infidel like Darrow, and to sing praises to him and When was Darrow crucified? When was it written that thru the name of Darrow you should be Darrow with supernatural powers? Who made him a god? Listen, you poor misinformed dren of Darrow, you cannot be Darrow with supernatural powers by making a god out of an infidel Did Sweet commit an unspeakable crime that a criminal lawyer, with Darrow's insignificance, enraged to defend him. You hire Darrow, an infidel, and maybe some of you, having a portion of a conscience, pray to God Do you think God will strengthen you? Darrow runs over to Harlem. Darrow's mouth is full of words. He shakes a skimpy fist at the Godhead. He opens his mouth and spouts out a message against the Bible. At Dayton some months ago, he railed and screamed and yelled and went because prayers were sent up to the God he hates. He was sent to the Bible. He reared against the name of David. He advised a throng of very stupid Negroes to discard their God and hustle out and get their place in the church, who is going to help this poor deaf, misguided black man to get his Just Kidding "There is no greater appeal upon American today than then for the children in the Philippines—blue-eyed, light-haired, freckled-faced, offsprings of American, the children by the cruelties of fate to fall into the debris of social ostracism unless resented by the strong, outstretched arm of American, philanthropy"—Atlantic General Leonard Wood's appeal to America through the American Guardian Association to create an endowment to care for the deserted children of soldiers will not be deaf ears. The United States has always been generous in the response to appeals for aid from all parts of the world, and the American soldiers are 18,000 such, fair blue-eyed, light haired kiddies as stated in the editorial of the Atlanta Constitution quoted above. American印第安 are darker than colored Americans, their offspring in some cases like the mutuates of our country are, dark, brown-eyed and black the Constitution-kidding kiddies. Mixing up the races in this way, certainly hasn't the approval of the Constitution in particular. We say this having in mind the search of the Ku Klux Klan for Alice Rhinelander, wife of the millionaire white New Yorker in order to chase her out of Dixie. Mixing of the races called a violation of divine law at home, must be quite as "horrible" when carried out by the police. Realizing the "horror" of such a situation, we can safely expect the Southern press not only to care for the 18,000 blue-eyed orphans, but also to protect white American soldiers home from the Philippines that this "dreadful" miscegenation which has been going on for 27 years there may be nipped Dear Slr: To the Editor: The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Mr. Garry, tips are small and irregular; sadly inadequate to make up the difference between what you pay the porters and a living wage.

About Counce Cullen's New Book of Poetry Concerning the enclosed clipping from last week's AFRO about Counce Cullen, a very unimpiring article, have previous to this, several months ago, talked with the Rev. Cullen about Counce. A prouder and more grateful parent cannot be imagined, determined that Counce shall have required to develop his great talent. Actually, while he was talking of "his boy" his eyes filled with tears of gratitude. Would he enter the boy in Harvard if ashamed of his Such an article is a disgrace to the AFRO. Then such ignorance as to the motive of the literature or one qualified to comment on it knows that a poet has and expresses the emotions and reactions of all individuals in the environments. Seldom is the poet his personal feeling when peculiarities are mentioned, as in the case of "Brutus of the River." He venerates the home several universal and decidedly human truths: That that which is in the blood will come to the surface though venerated by discipline and seem universal and more sincere. "Who plants a seed begs a bud," though that seed sleep under the ground for a season. The personal pronoun "seem" seem more sincere. Countee is to speak for a club (white) in Chicago on the 27th and in Milwaukee on the 28th. At Macy's (leading department store here) names his books as one of the two books now on the market worthwhile reading. The book it is poorly said. Harlem is "raving" over the book. Thru justice to that boy and his parents, I am hoping that you will publish the place in the sun after he has kissed Darrow's big toe and denied God's. There is no man on earth smart enough to get some place without help, and only Jesus is willing to help this man. How much of the earth ever helped a Negro? How much of his pain has he given toward Negro charities? Follow Darrow if you will. Devout Christians will tell you where Darrow will lead you to. Darrow is racing up and down the country, not because he loves you, but because he loves the praise and applause of men. Darrow loves the limelight. He likes to be the center of attraction. He wants the high seat at the feast. He would like to exalt himself above the stars of God. He would do anything, no matter what, to keep his name before the public. Being an infidel and not having the love of God in his heart, things above named him all hell out get out of life. And when you black people take up Darrow's cross and follow him you're where he is going. God will turn his hand to you, and increase to increase infidels. Already times are harder for us, actual prejudices wax stronger the country over. His crowning moment is a stranger ten years ago. The attitude of the white man, whom ye worship, has grown bitterer. We find it hard to find jobs, homes, places to rest our collective heads and if you are a rising infidel. After a smart young Negro has gone through the sophomore class of a third rate college and ousted a pastor who sat on Jehovah God and refused to worship him. These smart young Negroes, with their slick hair and baggy pants, eventually drift to our town. (A lot of them take up dishwashing, shoeinghiness, and some of them make excellent pimps). And once in the newspaper offices they made a great idea of a living and personal god. In doing this they are faithfully following in the wake of their material god, the white man. The white man retains the white blood of the Norse through its length and breadth. Had Adam and Eve been created somewhere in northern Europe and Moses the eyes and yellow hair, and had Jacob been a Norse, and David, the white man would cherish the Bible, fight for it. That is why the white man scouts at the White man scouts at it. You have no other reason. Anything that is good enough for the white man is so good to you that you would make a cover for him. You would do anything to be like a white man, to be his equat. So we have discarded God in our silly hero-worship and not only discarded him but insulted him by planning our faith infidel who can't even save himself. Or perhaps you had it in for Osman Sweet. You could not harm an enemy more than by lying him to the offices and aid of an infidel. But go your way, O. brown America! Follow your gods, yea, follow them! Build you altars on every hill, build your tree, play. Beleave Baal and Moloch and cause your sons and daughters to walk thru fire in the valley of the son of Rimmen! Erect shrines and trees, build a temple, row and burn incense in his "holy places," for he is your god, as you have chosen him. Darrow, god of Negroes! Follow him, you! He will cause you to walk, build a temple and divide the waters of the Red Sea—so ye think. So up ye possess of brown America; up ye sons of brown America; sing ye songs of brown America; let him lead you beside still waters and find for you green pastures. Fear not when you enter the valley of the shadow of death, for Darrow is a mighty, infidel Darrow, who taketh away the faith of the world. Ben Goodwood, York, Nebraska. Misa Eva Jessyo. New York City BLOCKING THE ROAD MEETINGS THE HARVOKS UNLEASH THEM ME TOOS ME TOOS ME TOOS RACE PROGRESS FRED B. MAYOR DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES "You could never run a shoe store here in Baltimore." was the advice a well known business man gave a young man looking to a business college people earning more than $450,000 each year. "Baltimore can't do this or Baltimore can't do that" is an expression men and women who have lived here for some time. Deep down in their hearts they believe it. As a result most of our young men into women hopeless vocations WHERE SUCCESS SEEMS MOST EASILY ATTAINED. Some of these days some young man or woman is going to become hopeless and show us a thing or two. We will then have shoe stores; department stores, factories and other establishments and there will be achievement now deemed impossible. Why should 110,000 colored men and women here no longer be women and women anywhere else can do. We are suffering from the disease of TMORH. TMORH CAN DO WHATVER IT MAKES UP IT USS MIND TO DO. ITS CRIMINAL TO TEACH YOUNG MEN ANYTHING DIFFERENT. "Cooperation" declared Supervisor Francis M. Wood, at the annual banquet of the Aro-American staff, "has been the most valuable resource of the decade." "Beyond the advancement of science, education and ethics," he said, we have profited most by the advancement of the spirit and man's spirit in carving on the work of the world." Supervisor Wood is right. The history of human advancement runs parallel with the growth of men's ability to WORK TOGETHER FOR COMMUNITY. Still, however, hear men preach the doctrine of individualism with earnestness. It is still used as a formidable weapon to perpetuate the selfishness of stronger members of the human group. By selling their weaker brethren whiskey say the law should not step in to curb personal liberty even when this liberty allows men to hand down waste and criminal children to wreck so State righters proponed the doctrine a gainst cooperation when they advocate independent action which may give special advantage to the felled enemy was one of such advantages. The World Court idea is fought by many because it is a stroke of genius which enables selfishness which allows stronger races to prey upon weaker ones. Despite it all, however, the world is moving slowly towards the communizing of all inter- "There Have Been Some Changse Made" Nearly three years ago, this writer heard Miss Ehl Ehats Waters, the popular "blues" singer, once say, "Sing there Will Be Some Changes Made." Well those changes have taken place. If you heard her and saw her presentation three years ago and have heard her this week at the Regent, you will agree that a great many things have happened to Miss There will be no doubt that she has developed a decided technique and ability to carry an audience, but as an observer you would wonder if we have lost the sweet faced and equally sweet voiced little Ethel of three years ago, gotten instead a handsome Miahla with Charlotte Greenwood, with a dash of high powered burlesque added. There is a serious side to all this show business. sociolized "blues" business is empowering a middle-beginning. You cannot but wince when you realize the twisted abnormality into which these creations are grown, the swelling of sorrow they have grown into tawdry limitations served up to appeal to commercialism. Somehow, when we first heard Miahla, we felt that in her we would always, have an advocate of the artistic development. But also and ahack, she too has been swept into the golden tide. She gains; We need the stage. We run across so much pain and sorrow in this world that we must find relief in the artistic expression of empathy. Cooperation, The World's Progress RACE PROGRESS The kind of smiles Miss Waters is giving us now are alright for the eye and surface, but deep down in the soul there is a thud of regret. And Boys And Girls Attorney W. C. McCard, representing the local Big Brother organization calls him a news "News Christmas exhibit and its unnecessary kindling of the spirit of hatred into breasts of innocent children. According to attorney McCard, this is not unnecessary insult, coming at the Christmas time, when human brotherhood should be most in evidence. Colored and white street men meet in all public places with their souls unseered by the hatreds tolerated by grown up folk. If we have torn the soul of the bodies, why deprive the next generation. The Santa Claus at that show is not even the mistic ideal of the child dream, for he insists that the singing whip of descrimination. This might have been necessary in distorted grown up minds but with children it is not so monkeyy. No conscientious father of mother can afford to teach his child or let it he taught that it is inferior and that Santa Claus is the cruel race prejudice. Better that they know no Santa at all.

Judge Henry (Phila Bulletin) Philadelphia has had one Negro Magistrate whose conduct of his office did not reflect any particular credit upon his city, his party or race. Amos Scott, decision is now succeeded by Edward W. W. Moore, the lawyer of a distinctly different type. A great opportunity lies before Mr. Henry. He has the education, the mental capacity and the background of character which enable him to achieve excellent performance of his duties. With these attenuations it will not be enough for him to make a record as good as that of the white men who occupy place in the city. To Amos Scott's memory it must be said that his administration of his Magistracy was no worse than the work of many of his white colleagues. Mr. Henry may reasonably make a record of a different kind. It may not be important to Henry that the eyes of the preponderant race are upon him, but it must be important that whatever he may accomplish will inspire to the Negro population. He already occupies a position of leadership. The Magistracy gives him the means of utilizing that influence to beneficent ends; it incarceulates respect for the people he law to impress upon his people both social and political responsibilities. We are prepared to admit that similar opportunities exist in the 27 Magistracies occupied by white men, and that very few of them are upon and under adult structure. So if Mr. Henry will make his administration conspicuous for its integrity, its wisdom and its justice his example may be helpful to a great many persons who consider that the white skin coppers upon them a natural and inalienable superiority. Kelly Miller Says The Negro's fighting area is limited. Our appeal is mainly to the conscience. The only effective power we have is in the political field, and that has to be used wisely and prudently subordinately to the white race which holds the reigns of power. The Negro would deprive himself of the greatest weapon at his disposal by now rejecting God and relying upon himself in this day of his impatience. Darrow's Advice To The Negro Clarence Darrow is a dynamic American. He speaks in no uncertain tone. His declarations are clear—his pronouncements are straight upon the fundamental doctrine of human equality. He has the courage of his convictions. No voice now heard more the concession that he louds as his in behalf of the rights of man. There is no race nor color in his creed. Mr. Darrow by nature is a reformer. Broadly speaking, mankind may be divided into those who transform those in behalf of those who transform. Those of weaker wills and more tilt spirit always conform to existing standards and customs. Those of vigorous, more committed wills break from the traditional moorings and reshape society according to what they conceive it ought to be. Protestant Type In all of the ages of the world, the radicals have been protesting against existing order. This is true from the very nature of the case. The Protestants protest against the Christians, the agnostics against the Protestants. It was due to that remarkable group of English agnostics composed, such men as Herbert Spencer that we have today the theory of evolution. Darrow belongs to the protestant type of mind, and we have always fought against the strong hold of Fundamentalism. Bryan and Darrow stand for two widely contrasted types. Bryan was well known as a white devoutman, while Darrow stands for the transformists. They met at Dayton, and Darrow survives. The world greatly needs its Darrows, especially to prevent the use of Darrows that cannot use many Darrows at a time. The great bulk of mankind must be conformists, also there could never be peace and tranquility on earth. Was Volunteer When the case of the Nazi appeared dark and dreary, the Nazi pity in the cloud of the white world to look in the bottom of our grief. It was Darrow who all but lost in the dust in Detroit. There is not probably a conformist or a fundamentalist in the United States who would have saved the lives of the Negro race. All honor to Clarence Darrow. May his tribe increase. Mr. Darrow consented to the advancement of Colored people in New York City. Ten thousand people clamored for entrance to hear the story of the lives of the field of a great legal victory. His advice to them was true to his nature and to the motive that actuates and dominates his life. Trust In Self He urged his hearers to cease trusting in God and learn to trust in themselves. The motive is pure but the advice is mischievous. He insisted that the passion of his natural nature would advise the Negro to curse God and die. For that in effect would be the result of setting upon his ardent advice. I fear that Mr. Darrow was trying to visualize the Negro problem thus terminated. Religion's reliance has been the Negro's midday during all of the years of his captivity and solitude in the Western world. It was a time of great hardship, the dark days of slavery. It sustains the great unsophisticated heart of the race today as it it is now passing through the red sea of trial and Faith Of Fathers If the race should release its grasp upon the religious verities, what his Mr. Darrow or any one else can surrender in its suit against the people, he succeeds outside of their own strength. Hitherto the Negro has looked to the faith of the fathers to sustain him when his own powers failed. Shakespeare says "Three armed in his quarrel just"—The strength of the Negro's cause has hitherto consisted in the deep sensed belief that God Almighty was on his side. The strength of the attributes of the God Head were aligned in his favor. A clever humorist has somewhere said that God Almighty was compelled to be on the side of God Almighty, also. He would have His own reputation. Of Heaven. Artillery Of Heaven This has been a tremendous source of encouragement and strength when we have been so overwhelmed by our without hope. No, no, Mr. Darrow. Your well meant advice would lead to quick destruction. Let the Negro indeed be according to the measure and limitation of his power; but let him not forget, that all of the artillery of heaven is on the side of the weak, if fortified by righteous men. The Negro's fighting area is limited. He is surrounded by ten times his own number of people in their hands. The power of poyence is mainly to the conscience. The only effective power we have is in the political field, and that has to be used wisely and globally. This is where the reigns of power. We call upon them to act justly and rightly by us in the name of that God whom we all are. Profess Christianity Let me now put the case up to Mr. Darrow we a practical concrete proposition, the majority of the white people profess to believe in God and to rely upon his providence. Any declaration of disbelief on their reliabilities to the point of causing them to lose patience with us and to regard us as inimical to the Christian religion which forms the fundamental structure. The Christian religion, as imperfect as it has been in its application to the Negro race, has been the chief agent in the struggle with him, and smoothing out the diversities of race. Let us suppose that the Negro had adhered to his high moral altar with him across the seas, Mr. Darrow or any one else believe that he would be tolerated as an equal American citizen. He would be religion and in dominant numbers become agnostic, even as Mr. Darrow is, he would thereby harden the form of the American people against him. Moral Advantage By sticking to the old religious moorings, even when the white race seems to forsake them, the Negro clothes himself with great moral advantage. The black man receives treatment not in harmony with the standard of the Christian religion, he can hold up his hands and declare that the white man is a sinner against the very religion which he professes. The Negro is the God whom he affects to serve. No people can for long stand the moral chastisement by being upbraided with the charge of hypocrisy. The Negro would deprive himself of the greatest weapon at war, and rebel upon himself, in this day of his impunity. Four Million The Negro today is the most religious element in our cosmopolitan population. There are over four million members of the Negro race. These people are shepherded by forty thousand ministers of the Gospel, who devoutly believe in the verity of the Gospel in the great heart of the Negro race would be wounded to the bleeding point by the bare suggestion that the race must now turn away from the Christian principles and paralyz their energies. You cannot hold masses of people together except upon some principle of cohesive union. You can not race on the basis of protest alone. As long as the evil exists the protest "in some form or other will be forthcoming. But what will be the combinatory principle? When religion is the strongest bond that binds the human race together. If prejudice of race is ever to be removed, it will be done of power but through the subtler influence of love, the very heart and center of religion. Cleave To God I urge upon the Negro, even at the darkest hour of the African prospect, to elieve closer to God and to the man who is Church. Even the man who is Church, its principles, yet should not be. To the White race in the day of its power, the Christian religion may indeed seem to be as foolishness or as a stumblingblock for the defenseless Negro. It is in truth and in deed the power of God unto salvation. I do not believe that I am superstitious or possess one lota of religious prudence. I do not believe that I deeply believe that Christianity is the only hope of the Negro, in the midst of a professing Christian environment. I still further believe that it will be the Negro, in his unsatisfied state, that will bring the Christian world back to the human principles laid down by the great founder in the Sermon on the Mount and in the Golden Rule. Spiritual and moral lessons from those who most Needs Of Race Christianity today appeals most powerfully to the needs and circumstances of the Negro race. T. S. humble peoples of the world, if the adherents to righteousness, may indeed prove to be the salvation of the world. We thank you, Mr. Darrow, for lending us your great powers and talent in our legal defense. We are, in deep debt to you for your consist- tand stand on the fundamental platform of human rights. But we can not follow where we are, but we back on God who has brought us, safe thus far. Stick To Law It is related that a colored man who was handy at chicken theft executed a very skillful get away with a bag of fowls to the floor by a woman about the place. On being sentenced by the judge, his honor could not refrain complimenting the thief on his cleverness. "Tell me, John." I asked him. "How did you succeed in extinguishing those chickens in full view of the family?" "Too' honor," replied the convicted one, "when you want to do any rassailly. I advise you to be familiar and let the chicken business alone." Mr. Darrow, I know, will take it kindly, when I advise him that he will be of greatest success in his wonderful group upon the principles of the law, and by leaving out advice on religion with which he is neither sympathetic nor familiar.

The most vital rung to climb is cleanliness—and most young people give it but customary attention, to their later life. FATING, NURSING, sleeping, exercising and recreation; next comes the important phase in life—cultivating enthusiasm, which changes things state, to full of life and vigor. Young people become unhealthy by neglect. Health and beauty are twin sisters, or better—are the blessings of two to make one. Health is the foundation of health. A clean, fresh completion, sparkling eyes, healthy, lustrous hair, firm soft well kept hands, and lively, these are the signs of health, the cause of appearance, expressing beauty. Hair, to be lovely, must of course be clean. Poor shampooing brings about aided uncleanliness. Poor shampooing shampoo your hair yourself, or to have a poor hairdresser to do it in order to save a few pennials. It is truly said that "woman's hair is her crowning glory." If you clean quantity, but does not care, together with artistic arrangement. Songs have been sung, poems inspired by the alluring beauty of women, glossy hair, a glamour lock, each play a part in adding loveliness to feminine beauty, and emphasizing the personality of those who have studied of their charm to enhance it.

"I know it." Emmy Stratton sighed "but she can't walk and she won't ride in a chair. And—and it's so expensive to hire a taxi—" "Oh, you don't want to do that!" said the doctor. "Pick you up a second hand car somewhere and learn to run it yourself. That will do you and your mother both good." "A car!" Emmy's brown eyes widened. "Why not?" the doctor smiled encouragingly, "I should think you'd like to. And anyway it's what your mother needs." Emmy drew a long breath. "Well if it's what mother needs, she's go to have it, that'll all," she said. "Good. God would make the way to take the doctor, and hurried away to his next patient. Emmy went slowly home with the medicines she had come for, thinking deeply. A car! It was a deeper problem than you might think. Where was she to get one that was cheap enough and how was she to drink it when she got it? But if her mother needed it, it must be had somehow. She said she that she nearly stumbled over a small boy who was drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalk to the admiration of two other small boys. "Look out there!" cried the artist, "to step right smack bang on him." "I wouldn't step on him for a world," Emmy said, "But what is he intended to be?" "A turtledotty!" "What, why, what do you know about them?" "Father reads about 'on to me outer a book.' He made an extra book you looked up at Emma's comically. 'He called our car an old perodactyl this morning. I thought when started out it was going to be so funny that I had to perodactyl. "You old perodactyl 'y!' he says, "I sell you for ten cents, or give you away to anyone that'd have you." "My goodness—wh-... did the car do?" asked Emmy in astonishment. "The boy held his face down and held up his hands. Loyalty to his father forbade it. But the next big guy began. "Aw. I'll tell you. He forgot to gass her. She stalled she stalled on him and held up a full funeral procession yesterday." "He did not forget to gass her. He stalled in sharp prosec. 'She baited her he's going to sell her. So there!" "I don't blame him," Emmy said. Then suddenly an idea flashed to her. "Guess I'll see if he won't see her." She looked at her. "You want a car?" "Awfully." "\ "Come on then and I'll go with you to see my father. I will be rubbing several bits of crayon upon the pterodactyl's countenance as he led the way. Emmy had to hurry her pace to keep up with him and she was alright. The time they had reached Main Street and clung to a long flight of stairs to an office where a man sat at work writing. As the boy went up to him tilted his shoulder, turned with his pleasure, he问: "Why, it's my boy," he exclaimed, tenderly. Then he saw Emmy and rose courteously. Once once came to Emmy that she had a silly thing in coming to Justus Farr on such an errand. But she resolved to go on now that she had started. And any way the boy took the matter out of her hands. "Miss Emmy's come to buy, the pterodactyl, dad." man's eyes met the girls and they beamed. "You did, you know you did, dad," cried the boy. So we did. Thomas, and it wasn't simple, considering what that pre-historic creature had. But I was angry. It was Judge Hamps' funeral you know, and I was the head of the procession of course to get the gasoline stop. Afterward I found it wasn't the pterodactyls fault at all, but my pet did forget the gasoline. I do forget that but Tommy here. I so suppose I'd better sell the machine before I forget something more important to be the gasoline. If you really want to be the gasoline, then that will prove honest and true if you use it right. I can recommend the pterodactyl, yesterday to the court. "And we'll take you for a ride in it you can see," appended Thomas. So we will fair," said his father. "That will be only fair, won't. It then she will know before she decides. If you will sit down for a few minutes with Thomas, Miss Starrion, I'll step to the garage and get the cur." Emmy sat down and waited. And while she walked she noticed the tone of her face because that Justin had not have much business to do. She had heard that he was in straits. Her distant glimpse of him had led her to notice that Justin was at least in middle age but not at least view she had seen that it was only his hair that was old, his face was young, and good and kind. When an hour later she rode home in her mother expressed astonishment. "Now Emmy, how in the world did that happen?" she demanded. Emmy began to tell her but before she realized that her mother was both laughing and crying. "Go on—go on" she urged as Emmy paused. "I shan't dare if it's going to give you hysteries." Emmy sold. you hysteries." Emmy said. "You don't understand." Mrs. Stratton said. "It's a joy for joy. I'm so glad, Emmy. I've always wanted a car. But you're so timid. What put it into your head to Emmy smiled. "That's a secret. But the pterodactyl is oure if you say so, mother, very reasonable price, and Mr. Farr. Farr was a very nice person. "That's very nice in him, I'm sure," said Mrs. Stratton. "I think you've fallen on a great opportunity." For the next few days Emmy threw her head back and thought about the pterodactyl or learning to run it. Justus Farr was very obliging and as she was quick was taking the car long before she was taking the car alone with her mother beside her. "So you've bought Justus Ferr's old car, eh?" said old Mrs. Bunn. He next door as she eyed it flawlessly. "I wouldn't pay enough for it. But I can tell you one thing; any money Justus Ferr gets he needs. His affairs are always in his hands, so it's no help to him and I guess her sickness cost him something awful. He's going to give up his business, I hear, and go away to find a job. He's going to give me a thing as he can do, to my mind." "No doubt," Emmy murmured. She attractively combed the productary'socks, and she gave a great deal of grafting. "You want a car?" Saturday, December 20 shield. A week ago it would have meant nothing to her whether she tus Farr went or stayed. Now she would have that she could not be counted for. Thomas came to say good-bye to her. "We're going an awful long way, he said. "Most probably we'll come get back. You'll take good care of the pterodactyl, won't you, the Emmy?" Father sent his good-bye to Emmy. He said something else too, he took it back afterward, so I wont tell you that." They went out to the barn to retrieve the toy and he had it good-bye with some emotion. "I don't 'spect we'll never have any other car, papa says, he slept. Then he brightened up. "When he was in the barn, Emmy and I were. He kissed Emmy and ran away. She watched him disappear around the corner, then she went back to the old pterodactyl and began basically there to rub away every home and illusion of the past two weeks. enjoyed all summer and Mrs. Strain enjoyed herself immensely. She gained strength, flesh and spider strength. Flesh and spider strength. I feel like a new person," she said. "I feel like a new person." She loved the car has saved my life. I was just going down—down in spite of all I could do. If people only knew the new interest in life could do them! But, Emmy, I'm afraid it tresu you wish to drive. You look worn lately, so I am here at all! Emmy protested. "The dour old perseverity, I couldn't go along with it." She stroked it gently, and the brown eyes gathered such vistas that her mother said suddenly, "What, that you never heard from the Ferris beyond that one, card Thomas sent." "Why, I don't think it old. I didn't expect you to re-enter." Emmy didn't expect either of them to remember me long." Emmy answered, for her name. A girl named Toris named. All of them noticed which the predeceased roasted in the barn, Emmy heard no word of the car's former owner. He had been a teacher for a while. Spring came with delightful weather. The old car came forth and began to caper over the white country roads. Emmy was mistress of the gale and glide with the zephyr. And yet one sweet afternoon as Emmy and her mother were returning home from a wild-flower hung, Emmy was on a sleep hill and had to have her nose jammed into the bank before she would stop. It was a prodigy of a girl who was a little what she was going to do when she saw a big black car flying toward them. One of the two companions was a small boy who began to yell at her. "Come on, run, to know and clutch her." After a few moments, Emmy noticed that he looked brighter, happier and much more prosperous than he was before the reason presently. After much unsuccess he had found his niche in the world. He was a new car: "cried Thomas, "But Dad says hell always like the pterodactyl best." Justus got the pterodactyl's pass out of the bank and, bounced, it followed the blue car into town. He learned that Jostus Farr had come back expressly to see her. "Somewhat told me you'd be washing, he explained, with a brush. I could offer you some part of all you deserve. A man who is called a failure has no right to propose to you. Every one wondered why, the Farr took their wedding trip in the old pterodactyl instead of Jostus as car, but they knew he was a senses-mental expert." Justus Thomas, it as well as he cold.

For years I had been suffering with my liver, he says. "Sometimes the pain would be very intense and my back would hurt all the time. Black-Draught was the first thing I found that would give me relief." My liver has always been sluggish. Sometimes it gives me a lot of trouble. I have suffered a lot with it—pains in my side and back, and bad headache; caused from extreme billiousness. "After I found Black-Draught, I would have to take it soon. I felt a spell on me and I relieved the cause at once. I can recommend it to anybody suffering from liver trouble. A dose or two now and then keeps me in good form."

What this old world needs today is the spirit of Christmas which is the spirit of human kindness, the spirit of brotherhood and the multiplying of good will, the sanctifying of the tie of marriage and home, the gift of affection and sympathy towards one another, the integrity, which embodies the saying "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." What this old world needs today is to be able to sympathize with the fallen, to seek their uplift, to stand by them against a hard and unforgiving world and open the door of genuine social restoration to those who have gone astray. May our chief delight be found in work that will be of service to our fellowmen and may we do it with such skill, such thoroughness, such joy, that it shall have about it the strength of he mountains—the freedom of the streams—the gladness of the sunshine—the fertility of the fields—the beauty of the stars and flowers.

Acceptable Year Of The Lord Text: “The Spirit of The Lord God Is Upon me; be cause he hath annointed me to preach good tidings to thi meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, tc proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of prison: to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn, , This is one of the so-called Messinnic passages. There are some, who argue at some length that this prophecy uid not apply to the Savior. it is not my purpose and plan to discuss that phase of the subject here. I'shail love that part to you and your Iigher Critics, Yet, white Tam on Itt may say that seven hundred and twenty-nine years after Isaiah wrote these words Jesus Christ walked into the sy- Kogue ut Nuzaveth and when the Book was.handed to Jn opened tt te this very chapter and read these words and closing 4t, turned’ to the ns: tonished crowd and while they were wondering how and where he learneé to read suld, this day Is fulfilied in your ears. ‘The Hebrew people were well acquainted with the.term Accepta bie Year of the Lord which was also called sometimes t)eYear of Jubilee It came every fifty years and was a yerr and time o great rejoicing. In {c no sowing, planting or harvesting were done. bit Fehovah blessed the previous years crops to the extent there was at Abundance. All slaves and prisoners were released, all debts forgiven And enmly and strite were put aside, In shore all men sought to plese Jehovah and ile vished them with evidences of His divine favor that year, lialah considered it his work to preach and prepare the hearts of the people for this year. It ix too bad that every year was not a year of Jubitee or that men did not strive to loud acceptable lives and do aecept- able deeds_befcre God not only every tifty years, but every year, month, ‘week, hour, day and second. There have been some acceptable things done before God in some years since that time and there have been some very unaceentable sune hefore Him. God Almighty looked out over the battlements of bright Glory" one’ day” and saw fourteen nations of the world with thelr un: jstteathed swords reeking wlth brother's blond. - Ile Temembored that ott |Ot-one blood He had made all flesh to dwell upon the earth, He raised [heavears ‘windows ‘ang’ morning and looked aver ipod ‘soaked ‘Kurone and reflected that fe hnd been sald the earth is the Lord's and the Tulle ness thereof; the World and they that dwell therein. : He lifted the curtain that swings between time and eternity and saw Une: Marne and the Muese made crimson and tun red with blood shed by brothers and thought of His commandment given to Moses Cor Hlls children groping in the wilderness three thousand and four hundred years ago and covered up His face in horror, All this he say and Mis soul was sickened and His heart was saddened, He Js looking down this morning ona War wrecked, sin-siek, rlea- sure-mad juzs-crazy world recently out of a war which has left as its aftermath ten miilion men slain on tho battlefteld, three million presum- bly’ killed or lost, three million taken prisoner, twenty million wounded and maimed, most of them for life, thirteen million died since the war with tuberculosis and other deadly’ diseases contracted during the war tion war orphaned children driven through hia cruel world without a fathers guiding hand. He looks with disfavor and disdain. down. upon men lynching, mobbing and burning men to the stake, He is displeased with any group what over name they go under, who peddle prejudice kind xell hatred, “i Yet there have heen some acceptable things done in recent yeurs. 1 betieve God's heart Is gladdened to see any group, whether known as 4 World Court, League of Nations or whatnot, trying under His guidance,” to do away with hto most abominable structive enemy to society knows to the children of men, I belleve tt was an acceptable year In the sight vf God when He sald through some of His children He was tired of the HHiungty cries of drunkard’s children coming up to Film and that the or gunined, legalized guloon must yo. I belleved He is pleased to note at A reguli of prohibition there have heen more homes bought ani more Feulidren edueated than at any period of the same duration in the Nistor} ‘ot the United States, r T belleve it wak an acceptable year in the sight of God when even with the horrors und rigors of war, four million siaves were inmade frooe men; free hody and soul; free to aing God's praises with out the sounding jt: free w fray to Him In safety; free to worship Tim under thelr own Vin sind fig tree: free o that men may In teuth sing of Arorien as tho Innd of the free and the home of the brave. [ helleve it was another acceptable yeur of Jehovah when In the middlo of the sixteenth century while Martin Luther was crawling up those Wittenberg stairs caught hold on the divine truth that men shall live by faith causing the Reforma |Uon ot break out in Germany, crossed over to Italy, swert Into Switzerland, ‘back into England, finding ‘its way into France and. ullmately to cho entire christian world. T believe the most acceptabie year of the Lord was the year In which tis transaction was completed; the year in which my Savior and. Ite- Heenier reporced back to God that "I Have finished the work hoo guvent ime to do,” the year In whieh the great home coming was hetd in slors, when around the dazzling throne of God angels sang, “Lift Up Your Heads © Ye Gates, and the King of Glory will come In, Life up your heads © ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King uf Glory will come in.” | CHURCHES ae | S.

Santa Claus will be at the Center Christmas night with a tree loaded down with presents for his patrons. Everything will be free and you won't have to pay for the presents. Fifteen major presents will be given away. Another big night will be New Years when the first charleston contest will be held. All you have to do is to do the charleston to the music of one of the leading orchestras and the fourth will do the north while prizes will be given the winners. Fred Moore, former AFRO reporter, is staging a pocket billiard tournament in the Bowling Center billiard room. Entry list closed Tuesday. Mr. Moore is making one of the greatest ever held among our artists. The roll off contest went over with a loud bang. As fast as records were made they were broken and only the closing of competition prevented new marks being made by pin spitters. It established a five-game record in a single game with a total of 535 pins. This mark was beaten by C. Brewington the same week by a score of 565 for the same number of games. Brewington's average was 113 pins per game, while Ames was 167. Some of the 167 rollers in the print contest for four games were Edwards, 467; Fowler, 413; McCoy, 415; Emblie, 412; Keed, 412; B.
