EXTRA 35th YEAR Number 24 U. S COBB IS NAMED FOR TERRELL'S POST IN D. C. Coolidge Sends Name Of Ex Asst. U. S. Attorney To Senate EXPECT SOUTHERN SENATORS TO OBJECT Name Of R. R. Horner First Proposed, Is Later Withdrawn WASHINGTON, D. C., Afro Bureau—President Coolidge last Monday nominated James Adlai Cobb, an attorney, of 613 F street, northwest, to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia to succeed the late Judge Robert H. Terrell. The Senate referred the nomination to the Judiciary Committee. The nomination of Attorney Cobb in the climax of a stubborn fight that has been waged for the place ever since the death of Judge Terrell principally between Mr. Cobb and R. R. Horner. There were possible a half dozen or more other local candidates. Charges and recriminations delayed the appointment. The Department of Justice made two investigations into the suitability of the candidates. At the conclusion of the first, it was reported that the name of Mr. Horner was transmitted to the White House. Friends of Mr. Cobb applied to Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee in his behalf. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, saw the President in person and urged the appointment of the matter was returned to the Department of Justice for further investigation. The answer to the charges that had been preferred against him. As a result, his nomination was sent to the Senate last Monday. Senate counsel had to encounter his difficulty in the confirmation of his nomination. His friends, who opposed his nomination, will probably drop their fight. The opposition will come in just as it will come from southern Senators who are opposed to the appointment of colored men to Government offices requiring confirmation. Mr. Cobb was born in Arcadia La., January 26, 1876. He was edu- cated at Straight and Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. In 1899 he gradu- ated from the law school of Howard University. In 1909 he was a law student at the District of Columbia, November 11, 1907, he was appointed a special assistant United States attorney in the office of the district attorney for the Dis- sident. He was a member of the until August 15, 1915. In this posi- tion he handled pure food prosec- ution and naturalization cases. In 1920 he was a delegate to the Rep- ublican National Convention.

LEXINGTON, KY.—Edward Harris upon whom the state spent $20,000 to convict. for murder, calling out the State militia with tanks and machine guns for this purpose, denied the crime although newspapers carried an alleged confession. From the beginning Harris was surrounded by white men who as far as colored people can learn, never gave any reason for the crime. Bryant was charged with having killed a man named Bryant. With whom he was associated in the boot-egging business, Bryant's two fren and criminally assaulting Mrs. Bryant* had just finished a *fail* sentence a *day* or two, before the HUNT FOR LOST PASTOR ENTERS FOURTH WEEK Pocomoke City Inclined To Belief That Minister Has Been Slain LOCAL A. M. E. PASTORS AUTHORIZE PROBE Swamps Near Town Haven't Been Searched For The Body POCOMOKE, MD., (Special)—Search for the Rev. J. H. Fitchett, pastor of the A. M. E. Church missing since January 18 went on this week without result. Rev. Mr. Fitchett left home in the late afternoon to feed his stock. He stopped by the home of Mrs. Harrison Hargis, whose husband is a cook on a Pennsylvania R. R. diner. Hargis returned and found the couple in the house together, he says, with all lights out. He sought friends and advised with them as to having the pastor arrested. Rev. Mr. Fitchett was not seen afterwards. It is as if he was swallowed up in the earth. At home Mrs. Fitchett and five children await word of the head of the house. One son is at Howard University. The Rev. R. E. Ford of Baltimore, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, is on the ground making an arrest in the church. The chief of police has been confined to his home by illness and is unable to make a searching investigation. Swamps in the vicinity of the town have not been carefully seized. Two theories account for the disfigurement of Pastor Fitchett. One is that he has met a woman in the PointeMoore river. Another is that he has fled. It is known he borrowed $150 from friends several week ago. Another is in the situation that some M. E. Church is reported at odds here. The Fitchett family does not bother Mr. Fitchett, has fled. They inline to the belief that he has been slain. Pocomoke This town hasn't the best reputation in the state. The late Rev. S. H. Dennis of the same church was beaten by a crowd for resenting an insult to his wife. The prominent Odd Fellow and school head was killed and his slayers got off with short terms.

Cites Baltimore's Action Choir Singer Will Plead Church Made Her Lie Bs GAY LUSSAC WASHINGTON.—Word that Solution Porter Hood, U. S. Minister to Liberia, is enroute home from Monrovia, West Africa, has caused a fire in political circles. The reason given for the trip that the minister is ill and is coming to America for rest and reacquaintance. Other relations are honed. As yet they are surmised only, but sufficient to start political gossip. It is known within inner circles that the U. S. program has been unable to put through the U. S. program in Liberia. It may not be his fault, but the failure looms large nevertheless. The U. S. program, said to involve the $100,000,000 Firestone rubber investment, was agreed upon by Edwin Barclay, his trip there had and the Firststone interests and is understood to have at least a moral backing if not the actual participation on the part of the State Department.

HICKEN PHILADELPHIA, which celebrated a century of American independence in 1875, is now (1926) planning to celebrate the century and a hard-to-believe, we are sorry to confess, namely, that the white management of the Philadelphia Exposition are doing their best to preserve the delegated participation by the Negro-Americans or any honorable representation of colored Americans in this exposition. In 1914 Baltimore, Md., celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Fort McHenry, and although the negro was present before, Baltimore left him out of the celebration. In 1814 hundreds of blacks help to defend the fort and to help the negro escape Chesapeake, so that 100 years after (1914) white people could march and brag and beat drums and shouted blacks stood on the corners and looked at the procession. There were thousands of Negroes in the city. They follow George Washington to Yorktown. A Negro named Crispus Attacks helped start the fight on Boston Commons, and Negro troops helped to win it at Yorktown. Baltimore's Llc The Quaker City ought to be more wide-minded than Baltimore, Md. It was Baltimore that attacked the city from Massachusetts, then threw it from Massachusetts, on their way to Washington, at Lincoln's call, to defend the city. Then the startled the Twentieth century drive to try to segregate colored Americans in our cities. Baltimore was one of the pre-war centers of the slave-holding aristocracy. Baltimore lied, in effect, when it let white people do the work of building in 1814, thus pretending that Negroes had not shared the battle in 1814.

Frost was excluded from her home and also her church and accused of being present in a resort which was raided when it sat some time she was a friend were attending an opera performance at the Metropolitan down town. One of the deacons appeared, for the prosecution and argued that the young lamb had had the most good of admitting his sins and begging pardon and stay in the church and choir. But Mrs. Frost did not see it this way and, because of a motion was quietly made to "exclude the sister." Mrs. Harriet, Wilson, a friend who church and sitting in her rear, lunched and told her to plead guilty as it would be the only way to stay in the church. Many other friends signalled to her to do like- but to those Mrs. Frost at first paid a little or no attention...until the ofk sure enough.

The Firestone guarantees are both the official regard of the legislature regards as an infringement upon the sovereignty of the little republic. One of the items that is objectifiable is the appointment of an American receiver of cues from the greater than President King himself receives. One surprise is that Minister Hood is leaving the office in a large-declaree to make a try at having Liberia see the proposals in a new light. The Minister Hood will seek to explain his failure to the State Department in an effort to have the proposals reaffirmed or objectionable to Liberia eliminated.

It is maintained, by those who care adequately in hiring proper representation, that the more gesture of appointing a Colored Director without any means of directing, is clear evidence of unfairness. The officials have failed to provide any baggage for the development of a program to care for Colored activities or to encourage their participation, which, as any one knows, requires field work, transportation, health care, and general direction. There is absolutely no acceptance of an authorized program for the Committee appointed. In anticipation of the committee's judgment, Mayor H. C.

Y. The most remarkable campaign of Negro journalism comes to an end this week, when the Alumnus articles come to an end. This series of articles began April 18, 1925, and ran continuously for 41 weeks until today. They were directed against President J. Stanley Durkee, of Howard University whom the AFRO-AMERICAN discovered had accepted the presidency of a white school in Boston which barred colored people. He was to remain head of both schools. The AFRO expose, however, compelled him to resign at once. Other notable disclosures made in the series were: (1) That Durkee had used unbecoming language and nearly engaged in fights with Dean Kelly Miller and Dr. Thomas W. Tucker. (2) That three professors (afterwards reinstated) were fired without a hearing and several others were the outset of a sentiment stirred by Alumnae who prevented this from being done. 3. That President Durkee reorganized the college soon after takeover, faculty and then after six years, reorganized again on the former base.

Furewell His work done, Alumnus in a faculty statement sent the APFO today says: *My dear Mr. Editor:* "The Brooklyn call has come at last and our good friend (Durkee) is going to accept. He has worked hard for the job and has received awards and honors for his articles. Though modest should temper our speech. I think that the AFRO-AMERICAN is the one agency that should keep the alumni ran cool at times, and many other fighters were bought, but the AFRO-AMERICAN kept up with the thesis articles, but the uncle's articles began, no serious effort was made to dethrone the tyrant. Persistent attacks have had their effect. I said long ago that the successor should publicity. I was right. He began to wilt under the attack; he said as much. He was a pleasure to render such a service to the race. I hope that the successor may not be another Durkee. Though I have my doubts, they are not sufficiently confirmed, but watch developments and I saw Howard from a politician president. "With best regards and thanks for your long indulgence.

C.—The only way to suppress lynching is to let those who engage in it understand that they will be punished and punished severely, declared Governor W. A. McLean in a statement issued Tuesday. The governor was explaining his reason for declining to reduce the terms of 15 white citizens of Ashville, recently sentenced from a prison for attempted lynching. Governor McLean said: "Those who are asking clemency for these men should remember that one of the most serious known to our law—serious because the sovereignty of all the people of the State was trampled under foot and insulted by the mob when it attempted to take the law into its The Crime Alvin Mansell, who the mob tried to take from the jail, was convicted of criminal assault and sentenced to death. He had been sentenced to prison to prevent the lynching of Mansell and to halt any efforts that might be made to free the members of the members of the mob. He was the great question raised in Ashville to the guilt of Mansell because of the circumstances of the trial. He has an appeal now pending. The governor will he not act in the Mansell case until the appeal is decided. Governor Mossen said it was an unpleasant duty to decline the application of pardons knowing the distress that must result in the families of the prisoners. Ten of these 13 men, members of the mob, had previous police records. The prisoner in custody of the law is entitled to the same protection of the law as the judge on the bench. The State of North Carolina wrote to great expense in order that the prisoner in question might be given a fair and impartial trial. The National Guard was called out. The governor disclosed the processes of government upon which they now rely." The governor said he regarded this punishment as a people of North Carolina will not tolerate mob law and that the courts will not show discrimination between whites and blacks.

Dr. Durkez is to leave Howard University, and Alumnus is out of a job killer that these articles started last April and were promised weekly until Dr. Durkez resigned his presidency of Howard University. He sent a cell call at last come, and the biggest imposter that ever trespassed the field of education is definitely going to return to his real profession. Though every Howard Alumnus who has taught above selfish motives will rejoice to hear this news, let no one be inordinately happy over the exodus of who would be king. This is not yet the season for rejoicing. He himself the honor of dehringing Howard's erstwhile president, but let us all glorify in the service rendered by those who have had the vision, the presence, the talent, the blow that Negro education has received since the Civil War. Nightmare Dr. Durkea's administration of Howard University has been a veritable wizard. Put an person at the wheel of an automobile, or at the throttle of an engine, and you can drive either vehicle, and disaster is the result. Ignorance at helm of a great university is just dangerous and is the same in disaster as it is in the real world. Failure As President As a university president, Dr. Durkee was born a failure. The mere title of his fellow professor his wife held. He needed first of all pedagogical wisdom. He needed a keen eye for gauduliness in the profiled services of his tenure, in hisenchance, in bringing distinguish between baneful flattery and truthful advice. In short, he lacked all the protective essentials of dependable guidance. Politicians Insidious tale-bearers, millefurious villains, insulting intelligence, did him irrevariable damage. They knew how to tickle his fancy, how to entertain his vanity, and how to inflame his hatred, for their own enemies. And intricate tangles into which they might lead him. They knew only what they themselves wanted, and they played upon their honey-toned In Hour Of Need Just as might have been expected of such boon companions, they began to teach me how to begged for letters of support during the summer, not one of his local friends came to his rescue. He had a friend in New York of Maine and Massachusetts. The country boiled on with wonderful vainy waiting for some sympathetic word from the District of Columbia. People competent to draw conclusions knew that there must something wrong with the Durkes oats. Blunder After Blunder The story of Dr. Durkee's failure as a university president is too well known. He was a hardworking article. He made blunder after blunder without learning any lesson from such mistakes. If ever a man were created for the experience of blundering, Dr. Durkee surely was the man. He alienated the strongest professors of his faculty, and tried to object into his career, but he came, and they came frequently, he tried to write himself out of his dilemma. This practice might have saved certain letters, which were published to his embarrassment. Curry School With all the blunders that Dr. Durkee made almost weekly, he still might have escaped if he had not accepted his expression. His action might have been explained but never excused. Leaders of Negro schools cannot, in the absence of institutional presidents, with institutions or agencies hostile to Negro aspiration. Dr. Durkee may or may not have insisted right along that the moment Dr. Durkee accepted the presidency of the Curry School, but the writer has insisted right along that the moment his resignation as president of Howard University. The writer has never varied a syllable from this belief, for he right regardless of whose pen depicts it. Afro Columns Opened As soon as Dr. Durkez accepted the presidency of the Curry School of Expression, these columns were on record. He also accounted of the situation at Howard University. The first article appeared on the paper, and there has been an article each week on the website revealing the real President Durkez to the public. Had he never accepted the Curry presidency, it is doubtful if the Curry pen would have been inspired. Wish Durkee Godspeed The writer, however, wishes God's speed to Dr. Durkee in his Brooklyn brooklyn to him in the realization that he is about to return to the profession for which he has had protracted training and experience. Perhaps some of his suffering has been due to an avenging Nemesis for asserting his divine calling. Now that he is back to the homely virtues of the Christian religion he acquainted the fame which he squandered so wantonly at Howard University. A Pulpiteer It is the earnest hope of all Dr. Durke's friends that he may never miss the ministry again. His talent is clearly adapted to the pulpit. With a mind free from administrative problems, he ought to come back in grand style. The Ninety-Nine It is refreshing to know that Dr. Durke's nine of his ears and eyes. The slippery-footed gossipers will no longer be needed to tell what this professor is saying. The professor is saying. He will no longer need a secretary to travel over the country to try to make peace with indigence a safe full of honorary no longer need the faithful rewarded and to notice other candidates. A Serious Blow Dr. Durke's departure will be a serious blow to many. The faithful aspirants about their future. But the hardest hit are the aspirants for promised fame in the The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly biographical sketches that are being edited by Dr. Durkez. What will this group do to prevent financial loss from $100 to $300, and many no doubt, have made the first payment on their renewal. Perharga, Dr. Durkez is planning to finish some of the jobs he begins his pastorate in Brooklyn. Hats In The Ring Now comes the problem of a successor. Hats will be thrown into the ring, and a few caps are likely to find their way there. The problem, however, is that the caps are often and it is sincerely hoped that they will function properly. By properly meant in a manner compatible with the opinions of those competent to have any on such a responsible function. Though the trustees must necessarily face this grave problem and the choice of a successor will not escape adverse criticism, no matter whom they select. They can, however, base their choice upon certain fundamental requirements that will merit respect and co- Loss Of Confidence Unfortunately, the trustees start out handicapped by their loss of public confidence. Their former position as a university president has one discoverable qualification for a university president, has proved them totally incompetent to select a president. No fair and square person can find a president. Dr. Durkee from a village pastorate to a college presidency. The trustees are already convicted of ignorance of the measurements that a university president should take. The district of distorted notion of the office of a president that it is frankly unfortunate that this same group of men must be entrusted with another choice. Pen May Drink Ink Our readers must not be startled if some selection is made that will force our abandonment of the ruse-loving men should sit idly by the Negr格斯 greatest university is being considered. On the other hand, the trustees alone should not be the next president. For this reason, candidates should not be brought to the attention of the trustees unless they are willing to unfettered opportunity to select Dr Durkeus's successor. It is hoped that they may be able to defend their choice, for they will certainly be given chance, regardless of whom they select. $10,000 Salary Despite the fact that the writer has nothing to do with th ebusiness of the company, he wants all his readers, exclusive of Howard trustees, to have in this last article. He believes that $10,000 per annum can select a much better risk profile. Virtually Wrecked Howard University must have at its head a scholarly educator on the early side of fifty years. He should be a teacher, a schoolman, a schoolman will win the respect of his faculty. He must not be a minister. Churchmen are for churches, not for schools. Howard University, from an educational standpoint, is virtually wrecked. Only a strong educator can rehabilitate the school, and be trained in educational principles and practices not to require a revolutionary change every seven years. Bad Faculty Breaks The man who should succeed Dr Durkee must be one who can come together the bad breaks in the faculty. He must neither reward non-compliance with will, of course, find factions there. In fact, the trustees themselves did a bad day's job when they asked professor Dr Durkee to give him a very feeling among professors at Howard is very bitter. It is going to be a real president's job to reconcile all forces. Scramble Vs. Promotion On account of the dissipated morale at Howard, it is doubtful if the trustees will risk the promotion of any professor within the institution, the faculty, or the administrative ability have earned the promotion. If the professors were given an opportunity to name the president, they would have to prevent a promotion, the very same problem as is now facing the President of the United States in his effort to honor a local colored lawyer with a judgement. The scramble outside the Faculty Unless the trustees are guided by political, rather than by educational necessities they will probably go out and seek other opportunities. Excellent material is easily accessible, if the trustees really want to elect a competent president. If they mean to keep the presidency a patronage gift, they will have to hire someone incompetent person of the Durkeen brand. In all probability the colored members of the board will take the initial step to hire someone competent. Unfortunately, there is not one person among the active trustees who has had enough respect for a college education to receive such training. It is a very serious matter to let such persons control the appointment of a college president, and yet theATIVE is theirs. This is pretty frank, but ought not to give offense. Expert Handling The selection of any university president is a problem that needs expert handling. Friendships, fraternal connections, the business aspect, may play a role in choice. The office calls for a well trained leader who has handled administrative problems and has the true conception of the great office of a university president. Wrath Of Alumni What Howard needs most now is a leadership that will restore its pristine morale. If a selection is made that will arouse the wrath of the alumni and instill university. The alumni have a right to feel that their wishes in the matter should have respectful consideration. They should not, of course, have men in mind, but rather basic principles upon them, they have developed. On those principles are announced, the person selected should be well trained enough to carry them to fruition. Roosevelt And Foraker Made Up, Their Letters Reveal Usual Stand The trustees are very likely to maintain their usual stand; namely, that they are not responsible to the public and that they are not responsible to themselves. Only such has been their general attitude right along. Such is likely to remain their attitude. They remained silent all through Dr. Burke's appointment, voting blindly for his contradictory recommendations. They let him allow able men out of the university, crush Negro scholarship, and even insult students by appoint another Durkee. Counsel Of Educators The committee that will bring in the nomination should by all means seek the counsel of Negro educators who are competent to guide them. It will also ensure race leaders from all parts of the country and talk the matter over frankly before they make a selection. They need not be bound by the opinions of others, but they will do well. The hope of the writer is that all race-love men and women may be able to get behind the next president of Howard University and make his administration position to be a few faithful boosterers. All that the trustees need to do is to take a stand for a president whose qualifications for the job may be mentioned without apology. In the public press. They cannot go wrong in this direction. They must give support for the job withstands professional criticism. Redeem Themselves Now is the time for the trustees to redeem themselves. Whether they feel the need for redemption or not, the writer is prepared to tell them that the country are bitterly opposed to their tactics of last June. In fact, the trustees convicted themselves when they reinstalled those dismissed professors full salary and power. Their action was a form of former wrong or blundering. They apparently did not want to go the full distance in defence of Dr. Durke, but they gave the country enough to thing and talk about. Restore Professors Like all mortals they are dead, and they have to persist in their errors. Simultaneously with the acceptance of Dr. Durke's resignation, they ought to restore those professors to their full status. Every well intentioned Aploca in country would applaud the action. Errors: Not Criminal Errors are not necessarily criminal, but persistence in them may be. The trustees have told the country by poste action that those dismissed professors did not get a square deal. They attempted to compromise the ugly situation by action unheard of—paid them an entire salary for a Roosevelt And Up, Their L WASHINGTON (PNS)—The long obscured question whether the late President Roosevelt and the late Senator Foraker of Ohio ever composed their celebrated quarrel seems to be denitively settled in the affirmative through private circulation between them. The quarrel broke in 1909 as a direct outcome of Senator Foraker's championship of the cause of some veterans who were summarily dismissed from the army by President Roosevelt after the affair at Brownlee. Tex. was then called, Involved Negro troops. It assumed the proportions of a nationwide controversy when President Roosevelt dismissed a whole battal- Assalled Roosevelt Sen. Foraker was one of the stalwart Republican leaders of his day, and one of the circle of confidants which suctioned him. Until the two men differed over the merits of the president's wholesale dismissal of at least some of the troops. Senator Foraker assailed President Obama's course openly in the Senate and the president struck back in characteristic fashion. The smoother volcano did not come into full eruption, however, until an official statement from both were guesses at a Gridiron club dinner in Washington. Bury Hatchet So far as anyone knows, it remained thus until 1912, when for a few months before Col. Roosevelt's convention he wrote a Convention, he wrote Senator Foraker complimenting him on his pamphlet on the authorship of the Sherman anti-trust Act, and Senator Foraker to call. The Senator, apparently wiping out old scores, wrote a (friendly reply, but declined the colonel's invitation, because the knowledge of such a call, if it should get to the newspapers, might be exploited in such a way as to cause embarrassment) and then wrote more until when circumstances are more propitious I shall drop in in for a few minutes in memory of old times." The printed record of their conversation has not until 1915 when Senator Foraker sent Colonel Roosevelt his two volumes of memoirs and the Colonel acknowledged them in a letter. The convention, Senator Foraker's friends may regard as an amende. To Dedicate Gym WASHINGTON, D. C.—Howard University's new double gymnasium, one for girls and one for boys will be dedicated February 26th. The athletic field will be ready early in the spring.

The Way Out But why rehearse all these matters which have been brought to the attention of the reader? The sole purpose of these articles has been to give the reader a direct priority to Dr. Durkose. It is really most agreeable to the writer that Dr. Durkose has received the call to Brooklyn. There was never any vividive hope that the writer would create those poor professors, two of whom have families to support. Our only contention was that he must go from Howard University, and we have kept that one demand constantly before Down With The Curtain As the writer is about to pull the curtain down upon "Durkeism and Howard University," he wants to thank all his readers or the people in some instances. He has no desire of claiming any credit for the Durkee exodus. He has simply kept up the bombardment of attacks. He has no further need for continuing these articles unless by some miracle Dr. Durkee decides to remain. Came As Surprise? In his characteristic style, Dr. Durkee is reported as telling a reporter that the call came as a surprise. Perhaps it did, but that he knew surely were not surprised. We are inclined however, to believe that Dr. Durkee went often to the "Father" in quest of that position, but what does it matter? No Need For Alarm. There is no cause for alarm about his not accepting it. This doubt, expressed for public only, is to oblige him to close of the college term. There is no question about his accepting. He "hesitated" about the presidency of Howard University—but only tony Blair was in a big hurry, he did not want to reach Washington barheaded. Ear To The Ground The writer's final word to the alumni and friends is to keep an ear to the ground for activity on the part of presidential candidates. Let us all insist upon presidential terms in the appointment and make such insistence positive. The writer has no candidate. His only part in this Howard trouble is to expose "Freedom in relation to the Constitution" and to insist upon the resignation of Dr. Durkee. Now that these two purposes have been accomplished, the president voluntarily from his journalistic venture with a hearty ally to all.

Johnson, Mrs. Mary WASHINGTON, D. C. (AFRO Bureau).—A hearing was held Tuesday morning by a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the McKinley Anti-Lynching Bill. Those who testified affirmatively were James Weldon Johnson, secrety NAACP; the Rev. J. H. Brandon, associate pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, 111; James L. Neill and Thomds H. R. Clarke, of Washington, D. C., representing the National Equal Rights League; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, former president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Edgar G. Brown, of New York, and Mrs. Maran D. Butler of Washington, D. C. Senator William H. King (Dem., Utah) was the actant of the subcommittee of the other members who Senator Frederick H. Gilbert (Rep. Mass.) and Charles S. Benceen (Rep., Ill.). The hearing was sympathetic throughout. In his testimony Mr. Johnson admitted that there was a decrease in the number of lynchings in the past year due to agitation and education on the subject. "Nevertheless, in the past year," he said, "an insane man was taken from the State Insane Asylum, chained to a tree and beaten to death. Two bodies were burned alive in 1955, and another's body was burned after he had been lynched. As late as December 19, last, Lindsey Coleman, at Clarksdale, Mississippi, a few moments after a jury in the circuit court had acquitted him on a charge of murder, was seized by a mob, dragged from the court house and publicly murdered." He told the subcommittee of one insane where it was advertised in the newspaper that a Negro would be arrested at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and people came from miles to witness the orgy. The constitutionality of the bill he declared, rests upon that section of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution which declares that "Nor shall any state deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." He stated that section was due to meet such contingencies as the McKinley anti-lynching bill proves to remedy. He declared that "lynching is not simply murder; it is murder-plus something else. It is murder plus revolution and anarchy. It is murder plus the overbroken and unwary process. But even if we define lynching as murder, we are still confronted with the fact that it is a form of murder that the states have shown themselves unable to deal with. There is not a state that fails to cope murder or less adequately, but is committed by a mob presents a question which the states have not been able to deal with, and that is why we are asking for passage of a measure of this kind. The McKinley bill is similar in all respects to the Dyer bill introduced MISS.

"I am interested in your case and the U. N. I. A. and its subsidiaries. What do you suppose will be the outcome of them both?" "Well," began Mr. Garvey, slowly. "I am not saying definitely, but I will tell you a few things. Thousands of dollars of its assets are being squandered in absence. The people are to a great extent responsible who are in charge, but my enemies are the real cause. "Since I have been here," he continued, "there have been several unfounded lawsuits that have been brought by people who know that I could not defend myself, and that there was a chance to get some money from the library Hall in Harlem, was clear of mortgages and my men in charge would have to mortgage it or strain in some other way to pay the assessments of the courts." Here Mr. Garvey paused for a second and adjusted himself in his chair. Glancing at his well-knew and untamed body, he continued, I tried to have our people, do in Liberia just what Mr. Firestone and the American capitalists are planning to do now. I asked for the Negroes to raise two or three million dollars as a start, but I was laughed at by the American Negro while Mr. Firestone has succeeded in raising near a hundred million Negroes are looking on in awe while the rubber interests are preparing to seize the Black Republic." "How did you expect to do even in a small way what Mr. Firestone is planning to do on a large scale? "Now," said Mr. Carvey, "when I came here I had several thousands of families easily equipped willing to Liberate on short notice. These people were skilled industrial workers, professional men and educated people in general. Each family had a minimum of fifteen hundred dollars with which to begin life in Liberia. Imagine how much that would have convinced willing to Liberia, but when we were about ready to go my jealous enemies turned the Liberian government against me, and Liberia double-crossed us by refusing us ad- Dist.

The Right Picture For The Children Last week a picture was shown at one of the local theatres that brought joy to all those who saw it. The Tenth Calvary was featured throughout the story, and they made a splendid showing of honor of the army and race. So she saw the picture felt proud of her. The only fly in the ointment was a gun inserted to add comfort that depicted one of the troupers, discarding his pistol as means of defense in a battle, with Indiana, watermelon, and crisps seem to be fastened on us with a tension that is difficult to disassemble. card Nevertheless the picture was a daddy one for the 'little boys and girls to see. This was a most fitting contribution to our tory Week, and one on the basis of the other side of our request, to the masters of this kind in mind when we asked the readers to request the masters to place more COLORED PICTURES OF THE PROGRAMS. They will be an inspiration to the older, and the WHITE IS NOT ALL RIGHT," as to many of the pictures of today do.

Everyone has had "bad dreams" and here is one that is accurately pictured with all the odd and ludicrous trappings with which nightmares are harnessed. In place of one butter, there are scores of them. Dozens of dancing masters appear. There are a hundred best men at the wedding. Every time they are bags of gold: millions of dollars are everywhere in evidence. And through out the dream, the din of jazz music stunts the brain of the musician, murdering even the memory of his classic symphony. Only the "widet" king, smokes cigars a yard long; Homer's penchant for how ties is exaggerated until his neckwear stands forth like a pair of wings; Gladys shimmers always—even at the altar; Mrs. Cady's rocker is attached to her person; and the Dreamer remains clad in the tattered bathrobe in which he does off. Nonsense, but that will find the tickleist of those with disperm. There is a beauty as well as burlesque. A pantomine is pictured. It is of a king and queen who seek romantic adventure, and find it in meeting one another incognito. And there is a country-side idy in which self-expression is possible. It is highly imaginative picture, and a tromph of artistry, Jimmy Cruze has produced a photoray which marks a milestone in the industry. The novelty effects, lightning and photography are exceptionally rare. Etheral Ralston is sweetly appearing as the understanding sweetheart of the impractical musician. Gerrude Short is fine as the high stepping Gladys. Edward Horton's portrayal of McRae gains instant audience sympathy. In short, every player in the production is well cast and does creditable work.

At the end of the first period the Athenians were leading a 22 to 8 count. Manager Wright sent in a number of substitutions in the second half when the Greeks were ahead a 24 to 20 and before these new comers had found their bearings the Panthers had pulled to within one point of the leaders. In a desperate attempt to stop the onslaught of the visitors the first line up was rushed on the floor, but alack and alas, it was too late. Campbell's Goat Wus Campbell's "Scrappy" Brown had sent in a cager but it was no good as the referee blew his ball before it dived thru the air. Campbell sent the leather thru the air in a graceful curve, plump in the basket for the deciding point. Before the Greeks could marshal their forces out of the mad scramble the shrill toot of the fray. This was the first defeat suffered by the Greeks at home this season. Everybody knew the Panthers were outplayed which was the cause of the Quakers' winning. Not a fan in the audience would have wagered the first ten minutes that the Phyllites had a gun. Phyllites folded a waddle their fingers, yawn and merely whisper "soft." oRad Team Play It was really a walk-away, but you never can trust a team of the Panther reputation. After the famous road combination of Poles, Brown, Keller, Wheatley and Harris and Harris had the need and the expense of the road and had piled up what everybody thought was a safe margin, Manager Wright decided to let everybody have a finger in the pie. "Lanky" Jones, Brown, Keller, Butler, Brown, Brown; Taylor, "Google"; Poles. In the meantime the Panthers sent "Hop" Hubbard, former Wilberforce University star and one of the great court players of the present day, in guards. Chambers was sent in guardsons and Coopers went in a second time. Panthers Pull Up With the score doubled, 26-13, Wheatley drew a foul, Yancey tossed in two from the foul line, bringing the count to 16-15. An attempted shot fell short but was booted in the basket by Cooper, score, 26-17. Hubbard from the sidelines added to the score, not followed by Coopers,志海ards, the cage holder. Coopers, score, 26-25. The first five was rushed on the floor after the Athenians called time out. "Scrappy" Brown did his bit but it counted for nothing as the whistle ruled his shot no good. Campbell from the center of the door threw the net for the winning point with less than two minutes to go. Good Sports The Panthers deserve credit for fighting when things looked hopeless. With the score doubled, they never let up but kept on plugging away. Their sportsmanship was the best seen here this season. They never set the pace at the tap off, but, of course, it was too fast for the visitors to hold. It was decidedly in favor of the famous road team. Brown was the high scorer with five goals, while Bethards was second with four doublepointers and one free throw. Capitain Keller and one free throw dribbed the entire opposition and sent shots from all positions. "Herb" the Keller found himself. The tall pitov was in on every play and accounted for two goals. Yancey, Chambers, Bethards, Hubbard and Cooper rounded out a smooth machine for the Panthers. In the prelimi the Decaturus won a 20-18 contest from the Vocational point. PANTHERS G. F. P. Doles.r.

Truly the spoken word carries more kick than the gloved fist and a Baptist preacher's trail of a Sunday morning is strewn with victims of his verbal attack. John Howe, Philadelphia Tribune. That the majority of sport scribes of the metropolitan dailies are just as fallible as other individuals in other walks of life can be seen in the attitude they have taken in reference to the showing of the unbeatable, at least so far, Chick Suggs at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. Although the colored hat won handily from Abe Goldstein, these scribes are inclined to base all opinions of his ability in the lone showing in which they have had an opportunity to "sit in." Romeo L. Daugherty—New York Amsterdam News Although some of the other teams are wondering what the Newark Stars are going to do for ball players now that Harrisburg has decided to remain in the Eastern Colored League.

C.—After a lay-off of two weeks the Howard University basketball team came back upon the court and displayed some great playing to win two games in three days. On Thursday night, Howard's quitter showed, the way to the local Alcoa club to the tune of 43-32. Not being satisfied with that, they proceeded to trim the fast West Virginia team Saturday, with the final score of 49-20. Howard Scores The game started off with a grimness shown by gach team and for the first few minutes neither team could got within scoring distance in the basket. The ice was finally broken by a Blue and White tosser. West Virginia made a chance for a free throw good and after took off a floor shot. Howard scored again and advanced to the front. West Virginia surged to the front with six straight points and things began, to look bad for Howard. Howard called time out. The Yellow Jackets received a jolt in the middle of the first half that proved to be their undoing. Galters was put out of the game by the foul route and this act snapped the spirit of the visi- 10-Point Lead Howard soon regained the lead and never lost it after that time.

'Y' AND LEAGUE TEAMS NOT TO PLAY PRELIMS Teams in the AFRO basketball league and the Y. M. C. A. loop not be permitted to play in any preliminary game without the consent of the AFRO management or the Athletic Department of the Y. M. C. A. The number of boys playing on the various teams and calling themselves Stars led to the making of rule changes on playing on more than one team without the consent of the management of the league they are playing. The practice of boys playing on two teams in one day and other violations that are detrimental to the health of the players will not be sanctioned, being ousted from league competition. Unlimited teams will not be permitted to play teams from the Y. M. C. A. or AFRO league in their preliminary games without first getting permission from the heads of the two departments. An effort is being made to provide some semblance of organization among the teams in the city. Next year it is planned to have two distinct leagues and the winners will play for the city championship.

Eutaw street, took an inexpected turn as police searched in vain for her assailant, when William Smith, an alleged former lover of the dead woman, showed up at the house in search for insurance papers and was arrested. The arrest of Smith came two weeks after officers had discovered in vain the apparent killing of the woman apparently followed her to a store on Eutaw street and shot her to death a few minutes after she had walked into the place. When arrested Smith mistook that he had been involved in an insurance policy of which he was the beneficiary. He had lived with the dead woman four years but had returned to Canada as a child and upon his return Monday had been informed that she had been killed. Both had taken out payables able to pay off a soldier's checking up on his story, ordering to Captain Mooney. Another Man That Miss, Bishop had been living with another man at least ten days before the murder was learned last week. The man, Occupants of the house said that they heard the pair engage in an argument the night prior to the killing, but the identity of the man has not been found out up to the Miss Bishop was shot through the brain a few seconds after she had entered a store on Eutaw street. The bullet completely severed the lower part of her cranium from her head and scattered her brain about the door. There was only one witness, an elder lady, who has since been prostrate from her experiences and the assailant has so far made good his escape.

Cathon Collins A THOUSAND LINCOLNS NEEDED TODAY America Wants Democracy For Which Lincoln Plead Says Dr. Emmett Scott HOWARD U. SECRETARY SPEAKER AT TRINITY Church Under William H. Thomas, Minister Celebrates Notable Occasion America needs 1,000 Lincoln's-today, declared Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University at the 79th annual mech's day meeting at Trinity A. M. E. Church, Sunday night. In reviewing the life and character of Abraham-Lincoln, Doctor Scott said: "Lincoln rose to immeasurable heights, in his first interview with Frederick Douglass. 'Much as we shall revere his memory during the coming years as the Great Emancipator, as the liberator of 4,000,000 human beings from the slavery that shall always remember, cherish that ecstatic rectal of Frederick Douglass of that first conference with Lincoln at the President's own request. 'He treated me as a man, excused his slightness, and let me feel for a moment that there was any difference in the color of our skins.' Oh, for a thousand Lincolnons today! Met and buffeted on every fairness, oppression, meanness, our hearts cry out, sometimes almost in despair. Oh, if only our country could have a rebirth of freedom, if I could have a rebirth of materialism, and receive a baptism of that spirit of democracy for which Lincoln so passionately pled. Liberty, freedom, the real democracy. In so far as they are denied the humblest of our land today, by just so much do we fall short of the real democracy and equality for which freemen and freedmen should ever contend."

MEASLES AND 'GRIPPE' WORRY HEALTH DEPT. More Than 1000 Cases Being Reported Here Each Week Says Dr. Ellicott URGES SERUM AND STRICT ATTENTION Health Department Warns A- More than 1,000 cases of measles are being reported to the Health Department with Z. Elliott, out the department. Belief at the department is that there are many cases not being reported. Commenting on the epidemic, Dr. Elliott said that every person should show this disease as it is apt to turn into pneumonia in the little ones. Measles Serum According to health authorities, immunity to measles can be obtained in only two ways: First by an attack of the disease. The measles virus causes measles serum. This serum is the blood serum obtained from persons about two weeks after an attack of the disease. The serum is obtained in the last ten or fifteen years principally to protect infants in hospitals and foundling asylums when outbreaks of measles occur. Two institutions have already managed to prevent the during the present, epidemic in the city, and several physicians have used it on private patients. The Health Department has a supply of measles serum used by physicians to protect infants or deblated children exposed to cases of measles. La Gripe Prevalent Over 800 cases of La Gripe are being reported to the department each week. According to Dr. Elliott the disease, causing the throat and lungs predisposes tuberculosis. It should be guarded against and treated with utmost care said Dr. Elliott. Chief among the causes associated to the prevalence of this disease are poor living conditions, such as improperly heated and ventilated houses, and inadequate medical attention. The death rate among our tuberculosis cases three times that of the white, according to health authorities. BLASS Druggist 408 AND 400 N. GAY STREET BALTIMORE, MD.

How often may children go to the movies without harm? Answer. Infants and toddlers under three years old may be taken to such places as the movies where there is a crowd and almost of necessity poor ventilation and temperature regulation. Children under three years old may be taken to such places as the afternoon with the parents. Older children may be allowed to go once a week, preferably to an afternoon performance so that they may not be out at night. Children under three years old is most important that children should be allowed to go only to well-selected, instructive movies. Question. At what time should children go to bed? Answer. During the first few weeks of life the normal baby should sleep from 22 to 24 hours sleeps a day, be awakened only for feeding and bathing, and should have 16-18 hours sleep a day. One year, the baby should have 14-15 hours sleep a day. Two years, the baby should have 13-14 hours sleep a day. Your baby should have 13-14 hours sleep a day. After this age the growing child, until 12 years of age, should have at least 10 hours AFRO FASHION 5132 5096 5372 Send 12 in silver or stamps for our UP-TO-DATE SPRING AND SUMMER 1928 BOOK OF FASHIONS, showing color plates and containing designs of the most popular art and craft articles.

NS—By Aunt Dilsey Call VErnon 6016 THE WOOLEN MAN YOU'RE WELCOME The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Home Education Home Education Should We Contradict Each Other? LYDIA LYON ROBERTS A long time ago there was a little girl who was bright, eager and full of life. She "saw" in everything she saw and brimming with ideas. But so many times her eyes clouded, her interest dulled, because when she saw things differently, or meant something that they did not understand, they said to her sharply, "Don't you contend with me. I am only interested in you and you should not contradict your elders." The little girl had not meant to contradict, she had been trying to get out some of the many thoughts she had written about others, which grown folk seemed too slow to understand. Yet when these people told her things — and she was always so glad to have them talk to her — she hadn't shared ideas, they often flatly disagreed with her. "But you contradict me, mother," she said with a puzzled appeal in her eyes one day. "That is different," said the mother, "but than you." The little girl learned to keep silent even when she knew people were hearing things wrong, and she learned never to speak of it when older people quite fatly contradicted, but she wondered and wondered. Why was contradicting wrong when you were young, and right when you were older? It didn't make sense in the little girl's mind, it didn't seem right, but any way there was no use asking any more about it because she made a big resolution. She resolved that when she grew up and married and had children, she would never, never contradict them. She would not contradict them even if it were perfectly all right to do so. The years passed and the little girl married and had rosy, sturdy children. When they began to grow to the eager, questioning, experiential girl never once forgot her early resolution. If she differed in opinion with her little children, she would say, "Perhaps you are right, but I wonder if you are wrong, and are you sure that is so? Because I had a different idea about it," or sweetly and politely, "Excuse me, dear, but I think you are wrong." So no wonder that the children were so excited and ashamed that the house that people commented upon it. Sometimes the children would breathlessly break into a conversation, then the mother would say gently, "I know you would not mean I would not be polite and pleasant if you didn't answer quite so quickly?" It sounded almost as if you contradicted me, but of course, and I know that light so we don't do it to each other.

They had known her ever since she was a slim brown thing with course pigskin. They'd known her since the days when he wry little body had almost bent in twain under the burden of fetching and carrying the many washes Jim Carlton was lazy. He never exerted himself except to go away from work. Yet, Susie stuck by her. She had never persuaded her to leave Jim Carlton. She just loved that good-for-nothing rascal. She h bent over the washbubs and the ironing board and persuaded her to leave Mary took her out she was lost. Yes, Mary took her out of the washbubs and away from the ironing board. Mary was teaching new and grew. She took the two younger girls entered high school. They dressed and socialized with the best of them. Mary felt that she wanted them to have the things that were denied to her. She was nappy in their pleasure. Then love came to Mary. Frank was so splendid and Mary loved him. She wanted him. Mary wanted him. Sanding there in the balmy softness of a spring night, they clung to each other. She wanted to say yes, but she could not. She wanted him. Sanding there in the balmy softness of a spring night, they clung to each other. She couldn't do this selfish thing. She had no right to think of it. Later, maybe, when the girls were self-supporting and there were not to take care of mother, but not now. Very gently she told him. She kissed him tenderly and sent him away. He went, vowing that he'd come back, but she knew that he wouldn't. Six months later he married a sweet little girl who reminded him of Mary. Riverside talked; it frowned, browned, pinned down, down, down, wrath was great against Frank, but Mary's smile baffled them. But they could not understand. Sometimes when Mary passed the little girl, she saw the young wife with the woe Frank who had soon come her heart became a leaden thing. Such happiness could have been hers. She saw the young wife with the thoughts of her mother and sisters. She was ashamed then, ashamed to have wished happiness for herself when they needed her. She was angry, rapidly, like merry children pushing each other Concluded on GALLEY THREE from a sliding board. Mary was climbing up in the profession.

By LILIAN LOTTIER Shimmering, flower-like things they were,—heaped upon the table with cunning art by the agent who was trying to sell them. Dainty, with decorative embellishments in a dozen delicate shades. The woman gazed at them wistfully, longingly. She touched them gently, lingeringly. Her flesh thrillingly flickered. That inescapable feminine love of pretty things luxurious things,—welled up in her. Women were made for just such daintiness. Wonderful (just like Madam) can’t persuade a volce agent. “And only $4.50. Have you ever seen such a bargain?” The woman thought swiftly. $4.95—almost $5.00. She had managed to find here and there, to save a little extra money. Could she allow herself to indulge in a rare extravagance? Just for once luxuriate in the mission of those bits of femininity unwelled. Impulsively she half turned to the agent—then she stopped. Bobbie's eyes were wide. Dot's supply of school dresses was certainly low. And there were salesmen who were inviting her. The stores no, just unusual bargains. No, it really wouldn't be right to spend that money on herself for school uniforms, milk undies, ending the they were. AFRO HISTORY HOOSIT? (By Robert P.

It had made her years younger. She had made her wishing desire to try it again. Of course she wouldn't dare though—not in Riverside. A month after the graduation ceremony, she was angry, provoked, and glad at once. She invited him to stay to supper, much to the chargin and disapproval of her family. The summer days passed quickly. He came to mean a great deal to Mary. She could not bear to think that he would leave her. She did not want to leave her. She needed his companionship. The thought of her mother leaving her some day and the girls going away was too much. So she promised them. They were furious when she told them. She would disgrace them by marrying a heathen foreigner. Her mother refused to allow him to call her. She was useless. They refused to see. She might have told them of the sacrifice she had made for them. She might have told them of the early love she'd put out—but she did not. She went quiet to her room. Thru blinding tears she packed her belongings. She glanced thoughts of bitterness toward them. She silenced thoughts that have turned her from her purpose. So Mary left home and married All. Her family refused to touch her. Riverside talked again. But she disagreed. Maud said she was a fool. Mary said she had shown good sense. - She closed the door behind the disappointed agent with a vicious little bang, and sank defectively into her womb, then would she ever have what she needed? It was the children all the time. Being married certainly meant little else than drudgery and self-denial.

Bouknight, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Theford's Black-Draught. "Just after I married I had indigestion. Working out, I got in the habit of eating fast, for which I soon paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me very uncomfortable. I would feel stupid and drowsy, didn't feel like working. I was told it was indigestion. Some one recommended Black-Draught and I took it after meals. I soon could eat anything any time. I use it for colds and bloatiness it will knock out a cold and carry away the blee better and quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found." Fating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals. A pinch of Black-Draught, washed down with a swallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief.

S. A. ON BORROWED MONEY American Minister. And Friends Enabled Him To Leave At Night Failure of the A. M. E. Missionary Board to send promised funds to West Africa nearly caused the arrest of Bishop Sampson Brooks for debt. Bishop Brooks was in Baltimore this week after a year in Monrovia, Liberia. He addressed audiences at Bethel and Trinity churches Sunday. In the two years the West African school has been opened, he said the Missionary Board had paid the salaries of the teachers for only one month. The bishop said he used all of his own salary to pay the teachers who were hungry and without credit. Calls upon the missionary department located in New York and headed by H. H. Colt, he said he was unanswered. Rev. E. Rev. was not in his New York office this week. He is reported in New Orleans at the Bishops' Council which opened Thursday. Thither also has repaired Bishop Brooks and a delegation of Rev. C. H. Stephens and the Rev. Monroe H. Davis. The whole situation will be laid before the House of Bishops. According to Bishop Brooks, several of his missionaries, but not many, were unable to pay house rent. Money was borrowed from the U. S. minister from T. R. C. from Bishop W. J. Crawford of the M. S. from Bishop W. J. Crawford of the M. S. in spite of this, the Bishop was twice threatened with arrest for debt. Borrowing $1,000 as an advance on his salary, he told his audiences Sunday. Christian he have given him a gift and left Liberia secret at night in order to avoid creditors. "I am not complaining," he told his audiences Sunday. Christian he have given him a gift and left Liberia secret at night in order to avoid creditors. In tropical Africa, far from friends, among people whose customs are strange, we have been compelled to make sacrifices and to sue fuerte haliations we have never had to undergo at home. Bishop Brooks added that the church must import its missionary West Africa, or it will be impossible to carry it on longer. He told of one missionary who had given birth to a child, who was a physician because the church was two years back in her salary. ARCHBISHOP'S APPEAL READ IN CHURCHES An appeal by Archbishop M. J. Curley for collection for Negro and Indian missions to be taken in all Catholic churches, Sunday, February 21st. Sunday, Archbishop Curley's appeal was directed to the church, he said it says: "He is in our own America, we have not less than twelve million of our colored people, of whom not quite a quarter of a million know 'Christ' and his teaching to them. We have a large number of religious in him, a burning, naturally God and the supernatural, for whom we have done comparatively little in the past. I am convinced that God hold us responsible for our success in saving Truths and Graces. He has saved Truths and Graces. Wherever missionary work is carried on among the race, God has invariably blessed the people, and by the larger number of converts who are sent to the Church." There is perhaps no part of the country that has a finer opportunity for making converts amongst our colored people. We have thousands of Catholics in Baltimore and Washington, as well as in the counties, who are a credible source of the little ones, if coming generations are to retain that faith which has been the肄 for well nigh three centuries. "At the same time, we shall be able to bring a large number of those outside the fold into the Church."

Text For To-day Weekly Sermon "Oh that my head were wiltain of tears, that I might weep of the daughters of my people." This is the favorite Bible verse of the enue. She says it is in keeping with the lilis of her people. WEEKLY INSURANCE Text: "We know that God is good to them that love God." In old times there was a stone believed to be somewhere in the world thought this stone in the wort touched. If one could possess such a stone any living creature in this world possessed such a stone and it had a supposedly learned men of old. The things into Good, and that would be if used, than mountains of gold could be found. Even the trials and afflictions which ner by the child of God that they chase the text, "all things work together for the child of God in health. In this age we God are uncounted and our other possessions. When we homes catch fire, to invite thieves to be in touch with an agency which these things happen. The same thing happens. Heaven is our general insurgence against the fires, storms and fires. When troubles come; when in the and death and calamity descend, we policies On the office on high and re that never fails. This is an extract from a sermon Huntington, W. Va. QUESTIONS AND BIBLE ANSWERS of the daughters of my people." Jeremiah 9: 1. This is the favorite Bible verse of Mrs. Ertie Allen, 1101 Argyle avenue. She says it is in keeping with the sentiment with her feeling for the lilies of her people. WEEKLY SERMON In old times there was a stone called the "Philosopher's Stone" believed to be somewhere in the world and it is said that learned men thought this stone had the power to turn everything into gold that it touched. If one could possess such a stone today, he could become richer than anyone else in his town. But the child of God is much richer than a man would be if he really possessed such a stone and it had all the power attributed to it by the supposedly learned men of old. The child of God has the power to turn things into Good, and that would bring into this world more happiness, if it were made to be a stone. It is far better to have everything we touch turn to good than to gold. Even the trials and afflictions which come can be touched in such a manner by the child of God that they change into cleavings and thus we have the text, all things work together for the good of them that love God. It is not enough to have a good home and our other possessions. When we do this we do so not to have homes catch fire, to invite thieves in to stalef or to court death, but to in touch with an agency which might bring sure relief if other of these things happen. The same thing takes place when we become Christians. Heaven is our general insurance office from which we get protection. When troubles come; when in this imperfect world, things go wrong and death and calamity descend, we can take our Christian insurance policies to the office on high and receive full compensation in insurance that matters. This is an extract from a sermon preached by the Rev. G. W. Gobbel, Huntington, W. Va. If Parents will encourage children to look up and memorize the word it will prove a priceless heritage to them in later years. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, February 21 21 st: THE RAISES LAZURS FROM THE DEAD. ed Then when Mary was come where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore-saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Theodore the Jews, Bodeh how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus Therefore again groaning in his voice, and took to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he sinketh; for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldst believe, thou shoulest see the glory of God. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I know that thou hearest of me, any way, any way, any way, any way, any way, any way, any way, and by said it, that they may be so, that thou hast sent me.

(ANP)—Religious leaders in the five largest colored denominations are expected to withdraw from cooperation with the International Sunday School' Convention to be held in Birmingham, Ala.

An attempt was made to segregate Negroes in the Kansas City, Mo., city. The national Council was formed. The Negro delegates presented a memorial to the executive committee who presided over the national committee to counterand the order. Negro representatives have participated in all the meetings of the national Council without any restrictions whatever. The A. M. E.

We sent a representative to a conference with the chairman of the Birmingham convention in Nashville, Tenn., January 7th, where the question of seating Negro delegates was discussed. Our representative, with those of four other colored denominations refrained from issuing a meeting with the Birmingham committee on January 26th.

This is the view of A. Philip Ran- loph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who declares that the effort to unionize all The pay loss is in the form of an eight per cent increase in wages and salaries and are estimated us the equivalent of an additional 2 per cent. increase in remuneration. The new wage scale was arrived at through comparisons between the Pullman company and eighteen representatives of the porters and maids chosen by the employees under an employee representation plan which the company has had in operation for five years. Said Rangolph, "The porters favor our union and we will go before the labor department to establish a substantial wage increase and better working conditions." "Attorney Frank P. Walsh, former chairman of the industrial relations commission, will aid us in presenting For some months the brotherhood has been carrying on a campaign to unionize the porters outside of employee unions. The National Federation of Labor, which recently announced its intention to unionize colored industrial workers, intensified the campaign, as did the rank-and-file members. A number of liberals and such organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People support the organizing campaign among the porters, according to Ran Say Unionization Plan Falls Pulman officials say that 85 per cent of the porters participated in the secret balloting for eighteen employee representatives to do their work from this fact the conclusion that the unionization campaign has been a failure. The new scale goes into effect February 15. The guise of the new company for vapourisation of porters will be $7.50, $79, $79, $55 and $9.05 a month. The rate increases with service until a maximum per month of $33.50, $95 and $95 is reached. The Pullman company declares that "porters and mails, unlike other railway employees, have suffered no reduction in wages since the introduction of the new company. Increases their wages are now $2.75 per cent higher than during the war and 141 per cent higher than in 1913. The company provides free insurance and welfare features for porters and mails. HISTORY WEEK IS OBSERVED AT RIDGE FROGGE, MD.—Negro History Week was fittingly observed by the students of the Cardinal Gibbons' Institute. The week was started with a general talk on the History of the Negro from the earliest slavery to the present time by Principal V. H. Daniel. The week was divided in order to give one day to each character to be discussed. Tuesday was Phyllis Wheeler's day; Wednesday, Paul Cuffe's day; Thursday, Sojourner Truth day; Friday, Frederick Doughness day. The talks by the students were very interesting and the opportunity gave the students a chance to learn a great deal about great characters of the race. On Friday it was fitting to remember Abraham Lincoln along with Frederick Doughness, since their work had been doing the same life. The following program was rendered by them: Lincoln's "The American Type," Ranchee Richelieu, "Lincoln's Letter to a Morale Whip," and "Lost Five Sons in the War," Joseph Arnold; "O, Captain, My Captain" (Tribute to Lincoln by Walt Whitman), Mildred Short; "Borghum Statue in the Public Square," Newark, N. J., "Tribute to Lincoln by Leslie Hinkley Hill," Joseph Curtis; "Lincoln's Early Life," Agnes-Blackston; "Lincoln's Later Life," Sydney Small; "Annedots on Lincoln," Agnes Bennett; "Gettysburg Address," Dorothy Blacoe. RIDGE MD.—The second Farmers' Conference for Farmers of Southern Maryland will be held at the Cardinal Gibbons' Institute, this place, February 22, at £20 p. m. "The topic for general discussion will be, 'Spring Planting'." The conference has adopted as a slogan, "Southern Maryland Must Raise More Food." The following persons will appear on the program: Dr. D. Lunnden, of the United States Department of Agriculture, D. C., will speak on, "The Cultivation of Bulbs"; Joseph Mattingly, Clerk of the Court, Leonardtown, will speak on, "Cost Production on the Farm"; and the Director of the Jesuit Farms will speak on, "The Growing of Tobacco." Several local and county farmers will give valuable information in the round-table discussion. Dr. Lunnden's talk should be of especial interest to all Southern Maryland as the Geological Survey says that this part of the State is the best part of the United States for the cultivation of bulbs, and with the unarmline on bulbs coming from foreign markets the farmers of this particular section have an open field without much competition. It is expected that Carl Dillon, the pianist, of Philadelphia, Pa., will appear in recital at the Institute on the Evening of the 22nd. GEORGETOWN.

If the whites do a Negro doing a certain thing like cursing skard, or voting this is sufficient in many cases and extensively in the national election of 1920. Mobs threatened to kill Negroes if they particularly lawlessness and general disorder." One of these causes is the system of local antomony in government which exists in the south. The south is composed of states in which there are little independent kingdoms responsible to no outside authority in law, and absolutely free so far as interference is concerned from the outside of all of there is no systematic method of cooperation between southern states regarding law enforcement. A citizen of one state commit a crime and flee to another to escape punishment. These are instances of this especially where the criminal was living near the bound- dary. Local government in southern states is in the hands of weak officials who are often both inefficient and unsupervised. In some counties two families head the political machinery of government.

Mob violence was used extensively in the national election of 1920 to prevent voting. Mob threatened to kill Negroes if they ventured to vote.

CHASE The recent announcement of the death of the most famous twins of the last half century brings to the attention of the public the interesting story of twins joined at the birth of the other having distinct individualities. These twins, or it, or they, were born on July 11, 1851, in Welch's North Carolina, six miles from the county seat, which is Whiteville. The surrounding, country for miles around was disturbed and set to a state of civil unrest a moment of this almost equally wonderful birth. The parents of Millie Christine were both sisters, and Adele of the twins are said to have weighed seventeen pounds. The mother was then thirty-two years old. The twins learned to walk at the age of two months and to three months. W. L. Pet. O.

Dabney by leading Southern white women. The old story of race prejudice and group hatred as causes for Lynching and mob violence has been told and retold in many articles on the subject. These two evils against racial peace are no doubt at the bottom of most of the friction between the races. There are however, contributory causes for the Lynching and mob violence which have prevailed in the south all these years. nating in two interesting heads whose faces were lighted with intelligence. They were both affable and amiable. The lungs, heart and functions of digestion were those of two persons, being in all instances, perfect and healthy. The body terminated in four legs, although this strange pair could go along with the use of two legs. They had separate feelings (or sense of feeling) above the body union, but below this sense. Mentally speaking, they were clever and bright. They were two separate individuals with intellectual faculties entirely distinct. They had different languages, and were features in each other, carry on two different conversations on two different subjects with two different persons and even in two different languages. They were features in the large circuses touring this country and the orient. They, therefore learned several languages. They had many offers of marriage, but it is not known that they accepted any of the proposals.

Officials at the Custom House told the AFRO Tuesday that employees of the city, county, town or state, government are exempted from tax. This, of course, excluded all public school teachers but not teachers Preachers Here Prohibition En Some Favor Strict Adherence Others Say Volstead A Baltimore pastors are divided on the issue of whether we should ad- here to the present Volstead law or favor its modification, as being ad- posed by many throughout the country. Favors Modification The Rev. M. H. Davis, pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, one of the outstanding pastors of his denomination, says that the present law requires a temperature and should be modified. Commenting on the question, Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of Ames M. E. Church, says: "I am in favor of prohibition which applies to all without disrespect. I have been a temperance man all my life. The 18th amendment as at present applied benefits certain elements in the body politic. Namely, the rich the bootleger, the physician and the licensors, the rich are well supplied, with liquor. The bootlegger is getting rich under the system, and therefore does not care whether the statute is amended. In its present condition it suits him best. It is used for issuance of a prescription for liquor for medicinal purposes and the vindex which supplies the liquor for prescription purposes charges five or six times as the amount of port wine formerly sold for $1.00 cannot be bought for less than $5 or $6. In my judgment the statute should be amended as to make the government responsible for the distribution of liquor as needed rather than the distributed in so many places. The Rev. W. H. Manokoo, pastor St. John A. M. E. Church, says: "I hope I shall never see the day when I will be able to stand act. It will only be he a stopping stone to the nullification of other important measures. The fact that I am the king is likely to be the king is likely. Pope Hans so foolish enough to drink it is best out of the world anyway." I stand for a strict enforcement of the laws of the church,ification," says the Rev. C. E.

S For N Chamber Of Commerce H Rather Tha In a recent address to the Durham Negro Business league, Secretary Burke Hoggood the chamber president noted that differences between the Negro of Durham and the Negro of many other cities is that the Negro of Durham is an asset rather than a liability. He said that Durham has set the pace in commercial and industrial development of the American Negro. For many years Durham has been blessed with having Negro leaders with a vision and the courage to bring it to a successful fulfillment. Ever since that Durham has set the pace, Insurance Company was organized many years ago the eyes of the state have been upon the Durham Negro, for the organization of the company. The Negro of the business. Since that time there has been steady progress in practically all directions. Among the agents in city's unbuilding, particularly for the Negro race, are several which are rated as among the strongest of their kind. The renalderate of the Negro man has done and is doing will be devoted to several of the agencies and their growth. The greatest asset to the city and to the entire country which has been contributed by Negro initiative is the Negro Life insurance company in the world. At the close of its 21st year of business the company is in formation on its books, and assets of $2,500,000. The income for the past year was more than $2,000,000 of which amount to rentals interest on investments.

Total resources for the bank are $779,255, of which amount $183,000 constitute the resources of the Raleigh Branch. This company, through its real estate, has purchased, promoted and is developing a modern residential section known as College Heights, located between Lincoln Hospital and Grove Ridge office. It earned $19,000 in profits were earned during the year. First of Its Kind Durham also has the distinction of being the home of the first colored fraternal society organized in the state to provide insurance for the King David was organized in 1883. The 1926 program includes an extension of operations into 25 states, a life extension department which will necessitate another building and increase in fund from the present figure of $175,000 to $1,000,000, an increase of membership from the present figure of 40,000 to 100,000. If the plan goes through, it will mean that another building be erected in the city by the Negro which will be a credit to the community.

She arrived there in time to see him standing and ask what was the charge. "Found him lying on the pavement in front of his house trying to commit suicide," said the patrolman. "Was he seriously hurt?" asked the judge. "Nope: just drunk," returned the judge. "One dollar and costs for causing all this excitement," said the Magistrate.

Page Twenty SCHOOL BOOKS GIVE "FALSE" HISTORY IDEAS Dr. Carter Woodson Says African Is Represented As Savage MATTED HAIR, EARRINGS PROMINENT FEATURES Bismarck And Shakespeare Used To Illustrate White Race Escent as to opportunity and environments, there is no difference between the races of mankind, Dr. Carter G. Woodson of Washington, Director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, told public teachers Friday. "In history text books, studied by children in the public schools of timore, Washington and Philadelphia, the African is portrayed as a savage, thick lips, thick lips with rings in his ears. "The Caucasian is represented by a photograph of Dismarkar or Shakespeare, now known to white people, either of them?" Propaganda "There exists a propaganda, a systemized plan that the African was only intended to become a hewer of wood and a dreamer—a burden on people." All False "The whole course of study in public schools needs to be reconstructed. Histories in the schools which at present give only two lives and an autobiography about Negroes, of it all, failure, and to text books which tell the truth. "Its our job to get the truth of Negro history over first to Negroes, who for generations have been told they have no history, and then to take it over." All Teachers Present Dr. Woodson's lecture was held in the auditorium of the Douglass High School and was attended by teachers of all city schools. Supervisor Francis M. Woods presided. Dr. Woodson was the culmination of the annual celebration of National Negro History Week, during which special daily programs were given in the lecture. Dr. Woodson was given an ovation at the conclusion of his lecture. He said, "The most eminent scientists have failed to find any authoritative or psychological between blood and brown or white races. "In this audience flows the blood of Indian, Chinese, Anglo-Saxon, Teuton and all the other races. Who can say Inferiority Myth "There is a myth that because of Negro slavery in America, the white race is superior. Three-fourth of all the people in the world are descendants of people who at one time were slaves." Superior civilization is the result of opportunity and environment. It is blasphemy to say that a just would be superior to a just inferior; that he chose one race and rejected another. Central Africa "In Central Africa grew up thousands of years ago a civilization far superior to anything of that day. There were hundreds of thousands of Trade flourished, there were universities, lawyers, surgeons, whom history declares were as skillful in operations as many of this day. Who can be more successful today, or it is upon the exploitation of one man by another, is superior to that of the early Africans? Influenced Greece "Their culture spread, influencing the civilization of Egypt, Crete and Athens. People has said, not that God created man, but man created God in his own image. The African story of the beginning of the world, the story of many other early story of the creation. "I used to think of Ceasar Alexander, the greatest characters of history. They are not; the greatest characters are those who have taught the world peace, progress and altruism, not blood, exploitation and death." Gift Of Iron The primitive African taught the world how to work in iron and how to build houses. They raced and raced copy from their neighbors. Take out of modern life the gifts of the ancient Africans and we would not have a railroad or know how to build. Religion "A third gift of the African to the world, is his emotionalism—intensity and music especially and in religion. The Israelites in Egypt were so discouraged that they willows. Our forefathers under similar circumstances sang: "Little David Play On You" and "You sing to the world, that has not had its origin in Europe."

Chairman of committee, the principal door, the door, so over half of door receipts which would have been ours went—ca—flewy. (Dark moments). Next you failed, to tell the brilliant ones of the ear caballers to settle with your Bato representative, Ms. L. D. W.

I will try to force the schools—I will if I cannot too much hazard, otherwise the matter will have to stand until the end when that is held. That is really the best way. I spoke at the meeting last night and won lots of awards—singer-spoke from floor (not ceiling)! I write soon and expect the best from Baltio. I think you will not be disappointed. All join me in love to you. I am, Yours truly, "LAURA" Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley, 1334 Drulid Hill Avenue, Baltimore, Md. Letter No. 2 Letter from Miss Savage to Mrs. Mason received Jan. 29, 1928. S., Sallie Mason, Baltimore, Md. My dear Mrs. Mason: Please use great discretion in handling the inclosed letter, but I want your advice. Please express on my things when they return and deduct my fare, I will have $143.00. When I pay $60 out of that I have $33 which will represent four months of the hardest labor I have ever put in. I am glad to pay 20 percent of expenses to have to pay 20 per cent of my own expense money. I could with grace pay 20 per cent of my expenses. I have paid the most of it for out actual expenses not counting my time and labor: I feel that each one should pay 20 percent of expenses, don't you? I feel deeply chagrined over the way I have been so completely had. I do not show this letter to any one, especially to the writer as I sent it simply that you might understand the situation and advise me accordingly. I want to do the right thing, but I feel this is not right. I do hope that you can get your school lined up soon and get order so that. I can in my terrible loss recoup some of my terrible loss.

Robinson, accused of stealing six pairs of shoes, a sweater and six shirts from a store window located at 1325 Pennsylvania Avenue. The prosecution said he had burglariously entered the window and stolen the goods. The defense counter said he was merely guilty of larceny because the 'window had been broken several hours' sooner by some unknown person and took the goods. Robinson in did and took the wanted. Robinson did not seem bothered about either point of law, he wanted to get out. With several minutes consumed and the opposing attorneys still at it, Robinson mited, Judge Stein ruled that the method was inconsequential, because the man had been caught with the missing articles in his possession and months in the Maryland House of Correction for receiving stolen goods. $117 Down and $15.55 A Month buys your future home site in Morgan Park The frontage of Morgan Park lots that can be bought at this figure, sub- ject to 5% interest, varies from 50 to 69 feet.
