Experience wrote that before books became the fashion. Better-than-thou Republicans and democrats, who are born wrong, are born wrong. They are great states of Illinois and Pennsylvania. Five democrats held back. Please and Smith of N. W. Randdell and Broussard of La. They said among themselves, these five, after the senators of Illinois and Pennsylvania, Frank L. Smith and William S. Vare, are denied seats in the Senate. They were ELECTED by the people. You look, read, wonder why. --- Some tell you one thing, some another, and still you are left in the dark. This humble writer in lighting the lamp for you gives light to At. For 62 years democrats have plotted and schemed to get even with Illinois and Pennsylvania—Illinois on account of Lincoln when he took this glorious Union; Pennsylvania on account of Thaddeus Stevens, who put life in Grant's victory and took up where Lincoln left off. "We go out here," whispered desiderate themselves. Then, they went to look up a few Republics who honest themselves. Find it hard to tell a thief from a deacon. You know all about Lincoln and Grant to whom you are cheerful MON-MENTS as you walk and talk and hold out against their enemies. Go look up Thaddeus Stevens. Ask some educated person who has been born to you when he attested public attention: what he did, that made him famous. Fifth Article 2. Great daily papers tell you of the Fifth Article to the Constitution Senator James Argentine our Mara we no one recite it. You might look up that article. You are in it. It is plain enough to be understood all—somewhat like the Bible that interpretation.” As the authors of the Constitution handed their propositions to James Madison our Bible that is somewhat understood by their do and all days to come. Roger B. Taney got to fooling with their language and let you loose. A few give the law but many interpret. This is the sentence of the Fifth Article senators and editors are arguing about, AND THAT STATE, WE CONSENT, BE DEPRIVED OF ITS EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN THE SENATE.” Is not that plain? As plain as your nose on your face. Democrats are now worried over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. In order to defeat the amendments they had to nullify the Article. Our white people. Real white people in this section of the world, are soft-hearted and hardheaded. They don't like advice. They are afraid colored citizens. They want to serve the people. They will allow to serve the government to be broken up by those who went to war to destroy it. Yet bear with them. Thus far they brought in publicists to know by now that democrats who disfrience Americans on account of condition and politics are not above disfrience and on account of history. Everybody, however, is not asleep at the switch. Read the three stirrings from the famous New York Herald-Tribune: "Time brins in its revenge. The emperor is bribing the abolishing the safeguards now thrown about lawful state credentials; is laying up money for the unfinished knifelines may have a bitter aftermath extending through mankind."

Marcus Garvey told Jamaica's correspondent of the AFRO-AMERICAN shortly after his arrival in that country. "All this indication, declares this correspondent, Garvey is stronger in the island than when he left to center his activities in America." Garvey made his first big address on Sunday night.

His address was "My Advent, Work, Persecution, Indictment, Conviction, Appeal, Imprisonment and Liberation in America." American Adherents Follow. It was noticeable also that a large number of Jamaicans who have been in America are returning to the island in touch with their leader. Liberty Hall here has been removed and given extensive improvements to welcome Garvey. Jacques Garvey had not reached the island on December 20, when this communication was written, but it was said on authority that he is expected to join her husband Garvey has made no announcement as to his next move, but the fact that he has been in Jamaica at the business department of the U.

The tragedy, which cast gloom over the city, followed the quarterly drill when 2,000 youths participated in the regulation training. The steam launch J. J.

Despite frantic efforts to reach the shore, the scene before it could be reached and it was not until the following morning that the full measure of the disaster was learned. The news revealed that 42 lads, one the only son of Ex-President Howard, were missing. Of these less than half of the bodies were recovered, and these were the only ones who saw the entire life of Monrovia was halted and business closed while the entire community buried the ill-fated body.

THIS IS SECOND CASE THIS YEAR Police Accept Alleged Bribe Of $150 To Let Mob Have Sway. JACKSON, Miss. (Special)—Ruptured, castrated, their cars cut off by a mob, two men were left to die outside the city last week. They had been arrested in a room of a local hotel where they worked as bellhorm. Two white girls, who had enticed them thither, were also arrested with entirely clad. The women admitted that their relations had been wholly mutual. The boys were arrested, taken out of Jackson under the prentense of safe keeping to a little town about two hundred people twelve miles away. Mah Of But 12 Brought back for a hearing, accompanied by only tow constables, the party was met by a masked mob of 12 armed men. For a consideration said to be $150, the officers are reported as offering no resistance. Mutilated—Ruptured Both boys were castrated, their ears cut off, and placed on their backs and heavy members of the mob jumped up and down in their abdomens and thighs. These cases make four such cases to have happened here in Jackson within the past year, wherein Negro boys have been charged with carnal knowledge of white women, the Negro consent and the Negroes were afterwards arrested, put in jail and afterwards taken out of town under pretense of safe keeping only to be taken charge of by a police officer, the Negroes ears off and otherwise mayhem them and left them in the woods to die, and nothing whatever has been done about either case, though the Government knows the facts. Away From Protection In the case that happened about a week ago, the teenagers arrested in the Negro boys' rooms. Many feel that certain city and county officials are out of town away from protection. Daily Paper Despite the fact that the white girls solicited the bellmen and the whole affair took place in a hotel, the bellmen were taken to the mob into the woods nearby, where the assault was said to have occurred. The Associated Press did not handle the story and any prominence in the municipal news, but the girls did actually entice the bellmen to their rooms. 5 YRS.

NO SUPERVISORS IN SIX MD. COUNTIES In Three, White Truant Officer Is Found Supervising Colored Schools BALTIMORE INCLUDED State Supervisor Huffington Mum On Query Washington County employs six supervisors of grammar and high school grades, Garrett County has four, neither has any per- son responsible for the race schools. When asked to make a statement as to the absence of supervisors in three of the counties Supervisor J. Walter Huffington stated that he had nothing to say. Other agencies which have no colored supervisors are Howard and Somerset. In these two counties and in Anne Arundel County the white attendance officer acts. In spite of the fact that the State Board of Education makes it a regulation that there should be a supervisor in each county, six counties are still without such supervision of their colored schools a recent sur- vey shows. An even more objectionable feature is the fact that in three of the counties the white attendance officer is also supervisor of colored schools and the county school board, and in four advanced training or education is required for this position. Anne Arundel, Howard and Somerset Counties have this arrangement. Baltimore County* None. Baltimore County* openly displayed its hostility to Negro education in the recent high school issue, employs more people in its administrative office than any of the counties but has no supervisor, no supervisor of the various departments, two attendance officers and five stenographers and clerks. All are white. The school officials over a year ago requested county teachers to recommission their officers. They unanimously endorsed Jesse L. Nicholas for the cost. Nothing has been done since. It is commonly reported that the officials did not expect the teachers could give up their positions, and some reason why the appointment could be held up.

An excellent indication of the growth of the profession among colored teachers in North Carolina is shown by the number of Black Within Teaching Teachers' vaccination has a membership of 3,000 and is the largest of its kind in the United States. States for colored teachers in the state, while still low, have increased since 1900 from an average of $140 to $400 per year.

Newspaper Claims Georgia Conference Election A Fraud ATLANTA, Ga. — The Independence in an editorial terms the recent Griffin, Ga. A. M. E. Conference election a fraud. It says: "The election of delegates in Georgia to the Chicago General Conference this year stands out as the monumental steal of Christendom, and there is no preacher in the church with religion; in his heart to serve God long enough to tell the whole truth, so help me God. At the Griffin Conference there was no election—no delegate received a majority of all the votes cost—the election was a fraud upon its face. We had on hand 74 of the 107 tickets voted in Griffin. Three tickets sheer when that teacher whom the professional teller gave 107 votes, didn't get but 30 votes on the 74 tickets; that W. J. William got 45—but the leader's name was read on these 74 tickets, when in truth his name was written on them. This is a sample of the state-wide practice in every conference.

There are now more than three times as many college students in the Negro colleges as there were a few years ago. A study of 99 Negro colleges shows the enrollment to be over 10,000 students.

Some form of specific examination was required, and those present as a means of securing more thorough preparation for colleges.

Dr. Dillard, president of the American Association of Universities and Colleges. In answer to Dr. Dillard's question as to whether Negro colleges have compulsory chapel exercises, it appeared that, with but one exception, the colleges have some unstitutions, have simple but compulsory chapel exercises.

It is the year 1928 Anno Domini, and in this new year of the twentieth century of the struggle upward and onward of Christian peoples, I feel that we should not only go through the usual ceremonious reconsecration in "turning over a new leaf," but that we should fortify the New Year resolution with definite and purposeful plans for real race achievement. Therefore, in the first dawn of the year, I greet you, my fellow citizens everywhere, and out of abundant sympathy, born of the close kinship of race and peculiar racial experience, I commend to you a working program for the future, rather than too frequent reflection on past trials or too great appraisal of recent progress. Two doors mark the portals of further progress. One is opportunity; the other is challenge. The door of opportunity stands ajar and from the outside many inviting avenues bid you come. The door of challenge is closed and from the inside many threatening difficulties would forbid you to go. As a race, we must use both. Some of our people must hasten on to the heights to be the vanguard of intellectual, moral and cultural attainment. Opportunity finds school doors and church doors ajar if not open wide. Others must meet and overcome the resistance opposed to the endeavor of the race to secure the economic, civic, political and other assets of recial self-respect and independence. Here challenge commands you to dare to do whatever is right and honorable to bridge the chasm of interracial differences in America's opportunities. Personally, I believe in the possibilities of economic independence, the capacity of the dollar to level the hills of inequality in the path of a people's progress. Let's earn more, save more, and invest more in race institutions and enterprises. This is the way of race thrift, the fulfillment of the scriptural truth, "To him who hath shall be given." One mighty word encompasses all of this. It is COOPERATION.

FROM DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS To the Afro-American:— To those who play such a significant part in the educational development of the boys and girls of the present age, we extend Greetings of the Season. Those who have been fortunate enough to live in the classroom with children for the last few years, must have been definitely impressed with the trend of education in the American schools. The marvelous growth of popular interests in human conduct by the citizenry of our country must arrest the attention of all who train for American citizenship. It seems fitting to suggest, that it is doubtful if the people ever saw an age when there was greater need for educational and vocational guidance than at the present time. Teeming millions of boys and girls in the springtime of their lives, look to the teachers for counsel and guidance in their effort to find themselves. As we approach the close of the present year, and pause for one moment to check results of our achievement, it must be very heartening when we can point definitely to that constructive piece of work that has helped those entrusted to our care to live more completely. I trust that we are warranted in the assumption that the teachers of "All the Children of All the People," face the New Year with a conscience "void of offense toward God and man." conscious of the fact that of the material placed in their hands, in the form of living clay, must issue the man of tomorrow. I trust that the teaching fraternity may be strengthened and sustained by "Him," whose birth we celebrate, and that all may enjoy a pleasant and profitable New Year. FRANCIS M. WOOD.

Bishop Clair Says Firestones Are Changing Entire Aspect Of Little Republic TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL Rubber Company To Aid Education There Imported foodstuffs at prices ranging from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent cheaper than those formerly sold Liberians and natives there by the U. S. Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Firestone interests, it was revealed here by Bishop M. W. Clair in an interview. Bishop Clair, who has presided over the Methodist Episcopal Church in Liberia for eight years, is on the eve of leaving America to take up work in the republic's future, and is planning an industrial school on the Hampton-Tuskegee type. "In a few years from now school children will be able to train for manhood and womanhood the more than 350-500 children of school age at present without schools. 4 verily believe that the future will be aeria in real and definite ways, thereby making sure and secure her future," he told his interviewer. 15,000 Employed Bishop Clair states that the Firestones are rapidly bringing under cultivation the land which has been used for employing 15,000 native workers. The company has acclaimed 200,000 rubber trees planted 16 years ago and has them in full production. Employing 15,000 native workers concession will be at a minimum of $100 an acre. President King and officials of the Liberian government are giving the educational and financial experts there every support. W. T. Francis, recently appointed American Minister to Liberia, and Bishop Clair recently made an inspection trip through the Firestone Center to visit the guests of Harvey S. Firestone and other officials. Mr. Firestone plans to go to Liberia early in January, and Bishop Clair will be there to meet with the leaders besides that of industrial expansion, which lie before the Firestones.

This is a Foreign Missionary Convention made up almost entirely of men and women. Of the 1,000 colleges and schools of North America that will send despatches to the United States, the institutions of learning, mostly in the South, there are several important Negro Boards, like: the Lott Society of Negro Students, the Foreign Missions of the National Negro Baptist Convention, the A.M. E. and the A.M. E. Zion Mission, the A.M. E. Zion Mission, more than 4,000 students will attend the Detroit meeting and of this number several hundred will attend the Detroit meeting and students of other than white races. The unrest on the mission fields in Africa and the recent upheavals in China make this Convention more appropriate for college students. The work of Max Yergan under the auspices of the Foreign Division of the American Air Force; the accomplishments of the McDowells under the Congressional Board in Angola; together with the fact that the Congressional Board anticipates occupying fields in Africa under the leadership of Negro college men and women in the country, turned the eyes of many of our college students toward service in other lands. Add to this the recent reports of the American student leader, T. Z. Koo, in which he said: "China is now ready to receive as missionaries Negro men and women who are willing to serve as a sign of the Convention is: MAKING CHRIST KNOWN.

Men Have No Place In Their Thoughts, The Home And Even The Church WANTS FOOTBALL SPIRIT Dr. C. H. Matthews Wants Members To Root For God "There is no more room in the world Duncan for Christ than there was in the inn at Bethlehem 1927 years ago," declared the Rev. C. H. Matthews, field secretary of Washington Annual Conference at St. Claims. Endowment Duncan, P.O. Box Memorial A. M. E. Church, Sunday. There is little room in men's thoughts, declared the speaker. The world is too occupied with making money and things to do about God. There are even little room in the home. he continued. Mothers and fathers have permitted their children to drift from their home teachings and the family alive has been recorded for the card table and dance. Scores Church "There is even no room in the church for Christ." Dr. Matthews decided to form into a business institution and has lost its mission. It no longer has that personal touch and when any institution fails to serve humanity it loses sight of its dignity. It is gone. Men now consider it vulgar to say Amen when they are touched, but the devil can make as much noise as the wants in the church members would go to a football game, see the spirit manifested and come back and root for Christ." Christ was given to the world, he declared, because God had started him. He was given to Jesus and he had failed to live up to his expectations and had lost the world to Satan, so in Christ, his only ability was to deliver an infant to win the world back. W. Va.

NICE VIRGINIA PEOPLE FAVOR LYNCHINGS White Editor Who Started Fund To Uncover Mob Members Is Surprised THOUGHT FOLKS STOOD FOR LAW AND ORDER One Hundred Take Steps, However, At Once To Cancel Subscriptions NORTON, VA.--Reactions to his protest against the brutal lynching of Leonard Wood has revealed that many of Virginia's nice people favor lynching. "A surprisingly great number of supposedly enlightened people admonished it, and mildly defended it," declared BRAWORDS, white editor of CRAWFORDS's having editorially denounced lynching in Virginia and admonished states, he says in a signed article, to fear that few if any of the accused would countenance a lynching when I published the ruseous details of the Leonard Wood lynching, a subscription fund to the prosecution conviction of members of the lynching once ran up against a surprise. Hostile Reaction There was at once a hostile reaction, the first of which was a "tiered" Crawford's subscribers in the community. Crawford's white man lived whom Wood killed. Some of them stopped their subscription; others wrote or telephoned their notices to "stop the rotten paper." A petition was also circulated calling upon subscribers to ban Crawford's and upward of a hundred names were said to have been on the list. When some of the friends of Crawford suggested a murder tone, when subscribers editorial in which he branded the murderers, suggesting that if every state, particularly the Southern states, raised a fund of $3,000 with which to bring the muggers to prison, lynching as a sadistic southern sport would very rapidly decline. Not Many Ashamed "There may not be many around here, that Pound Guafair, the editorial said, 'but this paper confesses it.' "To justify that lynching is to seize a criminal act is to seize a criminal act by jury conviction, not civilized enough to make and enforce just laws and revert to a criminal act," she claims to Christian enlightenment and human progress. Not only is this paper heartily ashamed of that many people who lynch that many people of seeming enlightenment seek openly and frankly to seize and kill crime. "Our kind stands." CORPORAL PUNISHM'NT NECESSARY ON EARTH The Rev. W. R. Ashburn Wins In Debate With The Rev. W. H. Moses "It may be possible to run Heaven without corporal punishment, but on earth and in Hell it is necessary to rule by punishment," declared Dr. W. R. Ashburn, who on Monday night defeated the Rev. W. H. Moses in their debate. Resolved: That Capital Or Corporal Punishment Is Unchristian. The debate, held at the Morning Star Church, marked the close of the meetings of the faithful Baptist workers and was attended by more than 400 people despite the severe weather. Dr. Ashburn polled 17,000 votes against 14, Cites God's Army Two Subjects The fact that the debaters were dealing with two separate subjec- made the debate difficult. One, but contribu- ted to the difficulty of bridging transitions from one topic to the other. Biblical reference formed the bulwark of sides and quotations from passages of the Scriptures were given at the Speaking of Jesus and punishment, Dr. Ashburn said: "Jesus did dodge punishment, rather than jump on the Cross. The Scriptures say that I pleased God to bruise Him." According to human experience we must respect authority and vile people must be brought into subjection to rights. In his concluding argument, Dr. Moses insisted that we must "pay to reason rather than to child," he said: "a reflection upon the training and abilities of his parents. If made friends there would have no disposition to be a punishment people for whom we have a friendly feeling." urday, Dec. 31, 1927 Call VE rnon 6016 The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md—South’s Biggest and Best Weekly oT Aine ANS ORL eee Page Five cee eee THREE MONTHS OLD BABY KIDNAPPED FROMITS CARRIAGE ig owes ees see eeeeceeeeeee _@_*_>=®>~raro rN Boys Sing At Benefit Afro's N.

Sheik Beat Her Gertie then unfolded to Magistrate McQuade a tale of woe in which she deceived her husband and Court living with her, had brutally beaten her and when she had requested him to move had refused to turn over the apartment keys to her. Judge, your honor, said, "want this man to refrain from beating me and to move out of my apartment." When asked what the trouble was Evans stated that he had taken care of Miss Saunders but that she did not engage Gertie and she shouted.

Pa.-Henry Drake, of Drake and Walker fame, has just taken over the Benn Travis 500, the theatre hereford to be known as the Drake Theatre, having a policy of pictures, vaudeville and road shows. Drake is one of the most modern and up-to-date houses catering to the race and is located at Fourth and Central avenue.

J. De-Luxe Photo- Plays 10-15-20c MONDAY—TUESDAY—W ADOLP By S. H. Dudley The year 1927 brought the amusement seekers very little comfort and several new titles for our musical comedy vehicles but the same old faces with the same old material with very few exceptions; and I think this had something to do with the falling of the business Of course we must admit that business in all lines was poor during the past year, but it was the most distressing time of our lives. We have experienced since the panic and I am now wondering what the colored actors and promoters of colorful movies have done for the new year. I do expect a few good shows from Irvin C. Miller, Leonard Harper, Quintard Miller and I think of all the theatres that need this type of attraction we are still short, and it is impossible for the theater to be able to market with all of the attractions that are needed to keep the theatres open for a while. So what are we going to do? That is the vital question. The T. O. B. A. are going to discuss the same thing at their annual meeting in January when they meet to discuss officers or reflect the present ones. As to the booking end of the colored theatres; there must be a bet between agreement and management that play the bigger tubs. There are two houses in the East that upset the routing by trying to book show independent management; there are about the same number in the middle West and twice as many in the South. **"Joby" To Stay** Each year about this time we hear all kinds of rumors about new colored circuits being organized, and this is one of the rumors of a new Eastern colored circuit and also one for the South, and from what I understand, the Eastern circuit will invade the middle West, and that this is the last year of the T. O. B. A. I have heard that for the past few years we have had a profitable existence and WILL BE until the heads of the organization disagree among themselves. **Cannon** that we had a profitable financially. It is the worst year we have had since the organization has been in existence. Now about the theatres again: There is one ance where the theatres can make money. If my colored program is in line with the play, I surely do business with them, for the class of pictures the COLORED PLAYERS FILM CORPORATION are going to make, with the help of the new play to produce six pictures in 1928, and among them two big road attractions: you don't need any other attraction that week. Mr. Manager, for this attraction alone will pack you SO GOOD BYE, OLD YEAR, HOW DO YOU DO, NEW YEAR? Airship And Smith In N. Y. Rustus Airship, Charlie Smith and Ruth Johnson, who just closed a two weeks' engagement in Detroit with Mastin and Richard's "Miss Cressa" formerly "Stratting Hannah," are now on the Lincoln Theatre.

GIBSON Ring In The New With the ringing in of the year 1928 the usual number of pledges and resolutions will be made, many to be as quickly broken. Ahead of that, in for big things that they are going to do. Some have been lucky in landing some juicy contracts and there are many at the top of the list of foundering around trying to land a booking. A few performers are starting off the year with fine prospects and are in for nice periods on Lowe, Keith and Orpheum time. Just last week Sunshine Sammy landed a fat Orpheum contract and performers today who have a pretty sour outlook on life because of tough sledding in 1937. Many dropped out of the business during the past year and it is understood that, particularly in certain southern sections, there are show people stranded there who have been so hard hit by the TWO YEARS. These people it will be extremely difficult to look with kindly spirit upon the new theatrical season. Disillusioned and bitter fight. No one knows what the New Year has in store. It will be full of surprises, some good and some bad, the oversupply and the impatient that some must drop out and some must stay, these latter in most cases being those most fit to survive. That seems to be the case. We wish success to the members of the profession and in exchange ask that they play the game square with the public. We want the public to make a transition in the economic life of the people of this country. Everyone is hoping for the best and as the public prosers, so will the performers. It is a challenge to the public to mutual benefit. Happiness is the result, and that's about all life's worth living for. The Repertoire Group The team creates that a number of players and writers, under the able leadership of Lester Walton has formed a group to present a repository of Negro plays on Broadway, is an encouraging beacon in this generation, and the mutual existence we have been living Reports have it that the group has ample financial backing. That's the talent, talent, talent. Talent, money, and advertising genius should make of the thing a success. The cast which is said to include Sidney Kirknick, Susie Sutton, J. Lawrence Grimer, and many other notables, expect to open in Washington about the middle of the year by Krank Wilson, star of "Perry." The formation of this group brings to mind the appearances of the Lafayette Players, which by the way, are the most prominent venture. A jazz-mad public, unappreciative of the finer qualities of the stage, saw and heard them, and the box office man was shunned so that the bunch had to come in off the road and put their talents to other uses. Hence the new venture, setting as its goal the presentation of Negro plays on Broadway. No doubt accentuated by the success of "Pearson" this group can be said to be a major force. Mr. Wilson's "Most Mosse" is the first play to be used and there are other playwrights to keep the group supplied with manners. Just how long the vogue for Negro plays will last on Broadway is an important consideration. The success of "Pearson" can be seen in the dump he and the group of Negro plays or plays with Negro themes has received more than one has been. This is in no way an anecdote of the group of this new venture. Far from that, for one of the least developed and most needed of the Negro artistic fields is the legitimate According to reliable advice the group is in no danger of financial embarrassment. With the array of talent within its ranks and the skill ful promotion of Mr. Walton, himself merit) so much difficulty as was pro- minent promotional man as well obviously experienced in having as art devotee, the venture should gidences either financially unab- over the top.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Baltimore is the cradle of the A. M. E. Church. Bishop James A. Handy, who claims to have seen the death of the eighth Chai Sik, date of his death, in his scraps history that the first annual conference of the A. M. E. Church was held in Baltimore and therefore the Baltimore Conference is the mother conference in his history gives Bethel, Baltimore conference over that of Philadelphia. Not only because its written procedure dates back to any other, but also its annual deliberations have always been prior to those of others. It will be remembered that at the time of the organization of the A. M. E. Church in 1816, no conference was held until 1818. Also Bishop Payne that to the counsel and man of Stephen Hill, more than to any other man, the church was indebted for the form it took. John T. Jenifer in his history states that the first Philadelphia conference was held May 3, 1818. Baltimore shows records of conference proceedings dated April 7, 1918. Baltimore is final conference proceedings two years before date of Philadelphia. Blind Senator Heflin Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, is opposed to seating Smith and Vare because of the money they spent in the election. He drew a laugh in the senate the other day when he declared that Republicans vote anybody in Philadelphia, all they want is a name. He told of registrars asked a colored voter if anyone lived in his home. The voter said "No sir, nobody but my dog Tige." "Tige who?" "Tige Johnson." They said, "Put him down and vote him." Perhaps Pennsylvania is politically corrupt, but how could Mr. Heflin serve 20 years in the state is equally as corrupt? There, according to estimates of Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, but 3500 colored people vote and less than 100 of these are in Birmingham. By the time Alabama invokes its poll tax and property tests, its educational and grandfather clause tests, it disfranchises one million persons of both races. Surely there should be some middle ground between Pennsylvania which votes a few too many persons and Alabama which votes a milieu. Moreover, we wonder how much time Mr. Helin can give to Pennsylvania graft since his own confession took from me, the unseen torture of misons, preachers and KluX for anti-Catholic aid and anti-Mexico lectures last summer. A number of these lectures were inserted in the Congressional Record. Democrats of Boston learning of the fees sent a letter to Mr. Helin, saying that the Helin be read out of the Democratic party." Governor Ritchie Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Democrat, Maryland's chief executive, came into the lime light this week by entertaining the children of the State Capital at an annual Christmas party in Annapolis theaters. But three days before Christmas, Governor Ralph J. James, A. Walton, white, of Annapolis, to the Board of Managers of the State Hospital for Negro Insane at Crownville, in Anne Arundel County. Mr. Walton fills the vacancy caused by the death of Harry J. Hopkins, white, of Annapolis a few days ago. Ritchie is running true to form. Speaking over the country advocating the various phases of his State's rights program, he seeks to impress the nation that he is a fit candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He never has a word to say, however about the rights of the minority so that there is not a similar institution under colored management, although at Henryton, the tuberculosis hospital, the Mélvale School for Girls, and the Crownville Hospital for the Insane all of the patients or inmates are colored. As a governor, Mr. Ritchie has been a disgust. As a candidate for president, we think he would make a better entertainer of children. Toleration Protestants, Catholics and Jews gathered in a goodwill banquet recently at the Southern Hotel. The Protestant speaker was the Rev. Charles E. Offenbach of the Brownsville Tabernacle, New York. The Protestant Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts; and the Jewish speaker Rabbi Stephen Wise, of New York. The banquet was arranged by the Rev. Albert E. Smith, editor of the Baltimore Catholic Review, Dr. Peter Anisle, of Christian Temple and Rabbi Edward L. Israel, of Har Sinai Temple. Inasmuch as no colored persons were invited to this banquet, we respectively suggest that the name "tolerance banquet" should have been changed to "white tolerance banquet." Not much tolerance is involved when a Jew or a Christian, or a Protestant and a Catholic, down at the banquet. It would be a shame of the Christianity of the entire committee, however, had the program been broad enough to include all races. Champagne President and Mrs. Coolidge attended the opening night of the American Opera Company at Poli's Theatre recently. The singers were received at the White House caterer in the day. Mr. Coolidge sat in the box of Mr. Joseph Leiter, referred to the newspapers as the whole performance, stayed through the whole performance and complimented the director at its conclusion. After the opera President and Mrs. Coolidge went home, while Mrs. Leiter is reported as welcoming the American Opera Company at a party envisioned by her bountiful store of champagne. At that Mrs. Leiter has nothing on a certain Baltimore caterer who gave his fifteenth birthday party last week, the features of which, according to press reports were an "ofaf" orchestra and more champagne than the guests could drink. Dispensing of champagne evidently has government approval except when a fellow like Earl Carrol puts it into a bathhug. Call VE rmon 6016 Why We Oppose Public Segregation By WILLIAM PICKENS People are often impatient with each other's attitude because they have never considered each other's viewpoint. For example: Why do the students segregate in public places and in public institutions, while the great majority of white Americans either favor such segregation or are, at least, tolerant of it? What are the reasons and the illustrations are plentiful. This is the answer: In public segregation the minority, or weaker people always get the worst of it; while the majority, or dominant, people always get the best of it. In The Gallery Now, the illustration of this truth in American life are legion. In fact, every single person in the United States is illustrated of it. For examples: In segregation in places of amusement, the colored people are never put down next to the stage or platform they can see and hear best, but out at the back or in the last gallery where they see and hear least. In segregation on the trains and other public transportation, they always give over the wheels or up amidst the smoke of the engine. When the public schools are segregated, colored children always given a school they further attend over the average colored child; a school with inferior equipment, fewer seats to the number of pupils, more pupils in the school; a teacher with an average much smaller teaching force, which therefore, in the long run, must necessarily have a teaching force of less training and lower cffi- No Exact Justice There can be no such thing as a segregated public school system that can do exact justice to the two equalities that take the two adequate public school systems; therefore every state and city of the Union that has so far attempted it, finds itself after a few years in the process of making it more appropriate for the children of the dominant group and another set of schools for the dominated people on a more or less makehift basis. This is of course not necessarily necessary certainly knows no countervailing law. For illustration: In the United States there are ten white people for every one colored person, and ten black people for every one necessary but in most of the states the proportion of the colored population is much smaller than that—being in some northern and western states for every fifteen or even less. Usually and on the average the ratio of colored children of school age to white children of school age is about the same as in the general colored population in any given state. The Why Of Poor Schools Beating that fact in mind, let us now consider the plight of such a minority if it must be put under the authority of the public authorities will do everything possible to be fair to the minority, at least to see that it gets its proportionate share of the public school funds. Say, for instance, that there are fifty children of white and twenty of black whites or 2,500 white children. And suppose that the school funds per capita are $20—twenty dollars for each child, white and colored, of the money they can have a school for $1,000; while the other children of the community would have a school for $50,000. One thousand dollars for each child, white and colored, they can have a sanifon; not to speak of a teacher, the equipment, the rent and the coal bill. In other words, when a minority is put out of the body politic, the real justice is not statistical justice, would be to give it much more than its proportionate share of the funds, and that would be a hardship and injustice to the majority people, for it would be too hard and lower the quality of their institutions. A Fifty To One Case What usually happens is: In the 50 to 1 case, the school board, having a conscience, will take a bit more than the $1,000 from the funds and endeavor to increase the white schools—for every dollar over the twenty dollars spent on each colored child is evidently a charge against the per capita fund for whites. Therefore the school minority becomes "the white schools' irritation is increased and the race problem is identified. People who do not analyze will feel vexed at this Negro burden instead of feeling vexed at the system of segregation which makes this anomalous condition. The white schools' irritation is increased and the school children were simply kept in the general school system, the burden of their education, would simply fall into its normal economic proportion. If they are ousted, either a white school or a black school, the efficiency of the whole system lowered, or both of these things may happen, and usually both do happen. The states that maintain "separate" schools, have inferior school systems for both races. So far, we have not segregated inculcated the administration would give to colored people their per capita share of the funds. We only assumed that for the purpose of making the argument unanswerable by assumption, that the white schools' irritation is increased and the race problem is identified. But this assumption is contrary to the facts in nine tenths of the cases of segregation. In states where racial segregation in the school district is objectionable by law, states like Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama, the Neerzo child in the separate school is given only one eighth one cent of the total amount of money, twentieth of his per capita share of the school funds. There is not a state of the south in which even though in all of the southern states, except two, the Neerzo's full per capita share of the states, except two, the Neerzo's full per capita share of the states, with inferior or schools. Who Pays Taxes? One of the drawbacks to fair thinking in such matters has been the false economic notion that people who smash the taxes. The people who work, and who rent and buy goods, even if they never see the tax collector, are the very people who abide all others pay the taxes. The man who the house pays the taxes on the house, not the landlord. The landlord, of course, hands the money to the tax-collector and gets the receipt. The landlord is but the agent of society for the component; for the landlord is the one of the two who is less likely to move and the one who cannot easily avoid the responsibility of his office. But not one who understands the matter supposes that the landlord owns the taxes like the insurance and all other costs and expenses of the property, are added to the rent which the tenant pays. Similarly, most of the pair of shoes pays a pound of round of meat or that pair of shoes. The taxes of the business, like all other costs, are passed on to the worker and consume the money for his wages are lower because the taxes are higher. In Mississippi In Mississippi at least half of the people are colored. If the colored people were of the same economic condition as the white people, half of the taxes would be when we consider that colored people in Mississippi are out of all proportion as renters, workers and ultimate consumers of such goods, it is clear that they pay most of the taxes, even though they have the smallest contact with the people. The dominant people need never fear that they pay the taxes for the economically weaker people; the laws of the present economic system take care of that.

MINOR GRINAGE. There Was No Error In Mr. Taylor's Letter As Printed. Certain Passages Were Eliminated. The Letter Might Come Within This Column's Limit. To the Editor: I wish to correct an error which was in the last week's AFRO-AMERICAN. The following article was written by a reader takes issue with V. F. Calverton's views on Christianity. If the article had been printed as was written it would have stated my views. I am not an indictor nor do I indulge in infidelity, Christianity. Thinks J. Haywood Brown Ought Not Read Sub-Deb Chatter. To the Editor. I think J. Haywood Brown's comments on the "Chatter" by the author were more offensive to intelligent people than the expressions used in the "Chatter", which he thinks are a disgrace. He is an intelligent man. I can't imagine him reading such "uplogarism" as he says appears in the "Chatter" and "Dance Fan" with his own words. He doesn't like what he did. I think he is a tilt eccentric and forgets the AFRO has other readers. If he likes Lillian Lottier's and Maybe Coyle's books, why doesn't he read them and omit the "Chatter" column? I'm sure the editor wouldn't mind. I truly hope the AFRO won't have to discontinue the "Chatter" to maintain its high ratings. Dr. Scott Wood Says He Is Alumni Secretary Of Howard University. To the Editor: In your excellent paper of Saturday, December 24, 1927 under the caption of "Dr. Wormley Wormley," you wrote that Dr. Wormley Wormley is quoted as saying that "the Alumni Association of Howard University had not elected a secretary as yet and that Scott Wood was only a secretary." I do not think that Dr. Wormley has been correctly quoted in this matter and if he has, he is not properly informed of the action of the Alumni Association. The election was held at the Rankin Memorial Church upon the campus, 1927, at which time all of the officers were elected. I do not know whether that number I was unanimously elected secretary of the Alumni Association. Although I have not received the salary, that does not destroy the fact that I am a member of the Association and I will in due time have the matter adjusted. If I am not secretary of the Alumni neither is Dr. eGorre Frazier Miller the president nor the other officers elected. And I shall continue to perform the duties until the end of my office. 1826 Another Who Wrote On "Richmond" Is Mildly Taken To Task By A Reader In New Jersey. To the Editor: I wish to contradict some very misleading statements which are attributed to the writer of this article. In my experience, his reference After reading a portion of the article, I paused and wondered whether or not the writer was referring to Richmond, the capital city of a former teacher of mine convinced me that the Richmond he portrayed was a product of a-shell I say wonderful imagination. To say that the streets in Richmond are marvelous and the streets in New York are correct. Out, out of the hundreds of streets inhabited by members of our race, only four of them are so named, and there, as in any other large city, certain parts of these streets are not as well cared for The statement pertaining to white principals is commendable, yet the writer is probably unaware that a few years back, the entire faculty of the high school was white. Nerous forces for a change and were present, as did race protesters, in the course of a few years. See, white principals eradicated. In reference to Prof. Lindsey. I wish to state that there is not a more progressive Neuro to be found in the school of the State Teachers' Association. As a teacher he is well respected, in fact, the senior class of 26 of which I was a member, dedicated a year to the school, and published in the state. to his honor. Is not that a sure sign of twentieth century leadership? This, briefly, is the Rishmond I know. I am constant reader of the AFRO and it is a credit to Better Things Besides Dances At The Alpha Phi Alpha Meeting. To the Editor: I beg to call your attention to an editorial appearing in the issue of the ALPHA ANCED Dated December 19, 2014. The title of the editions "College Dance Hounds." The author takes the trouble to berate fraternities in general and the Alpha Phi Alpha in particular for social activity indicated in the annual ALPHA ANCED page previous week. The writer very graciously gave the Phi Beta Sigma some free advertisement and most hearty encouragement the fraternity was free from such malignant influence as social activities and that all other fraternities were simply Bacchianalians. It is very surprising to me that a mentorship should be offered to the PRO-AMERICAN especially since this department is in a position to find out the policy and the ideals of the Alpha Phi Alpha nit; and other fraternities in this department have not offered the program. It has not official organ of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, was edited by Prof. Carl Murphy, an Alpha Phi Alpha man. Evidently Mr. Murphy sullen or he could inform the writer that the social activities are booked for the convention at Cleveland, December 27th to 31st. At the convention the fraternity, host the trip to sienna college, report of the school, Go-to-College" campaign conducted by the fraternity this year. The fraternity also intends to hear a few words, John Hone, president of College, John Hone, which also have a few minutes to discuss the fight by the pulman porters. The fraternity also will discuss the Inter-Fraternity educational plan as suggested by the president, which, perhaps, Hon. J. D. Marshall, Mayor J. Cleveland, will address the convention as promised and is scheduled to present wholesome features of the convention which will be given due publication after the convention. Now, Mr. Editor, is my hope that this letter, written by the spirit of publication) will explain the attitude of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and change the impression conceived in editorial that all fraternities except the Phi Beta Sigma are "Dance Hounds" in dimmer lighting. racket and canine units as trade marks.

Your First Lady Your first lady, Mrs. Marr McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women and college lounge. Talking with the Post in New York is taking directly to ladies and gentlemen who run New York. "Mrs. Bethune attended the meeting of the Walt-dorf-Astoria, From a plantation to the ballroom of the Waltdorf-Astoria is no small step. Mrs. Bethune took it, though in the beginning but little encouragement that she would make." Young ladies, study Mrs. Bethune, the unhixed queen, who overcame both nobility, prejudice within as well as without, the handicap of being a woman. She is reckoned with, charming enough to eb sought. She is one of the three great women of color. Margaret J. Washington, Maggie L. Walker, Mary McLeed Bethune. There are other ladies of interest in the world. HORDELERS. Mrs. Bethune told the Post: "Each year we colored women feel more at home. A more harmonious feelings seem to be developed. We are received as any one else in these conventions. I am able to participate in all parts of the program and am sure of a welcome wherever I go." She said, "The council of Women. The great lady had something else to say. She thought: "We have a great number of obstacles to overcome. I believe in my racial integrity and will not REST until it is recognized everywhere. We are in the field of women. You see there the determination of woman—will not REST." Southern white ladies at the Council meeting, back home, will say to their followers: We are in the field of women. Some women down means NO women altogether up." The great ambition of Margaret Washington was realized when Mrs. Bethune became president of Colored Women. The great knows its Young Men Look 4. All news is important; not hearsay, but news—what IS, not what is SAID to be, but what actually is too, too much, too much, too much, and rain, struggles, achievements, hands get and intellect, the modesty of genius and the how of the hit dog—Lindbergh and Heffin. Then, plenty news for YOU this week. Leave *Lindbergh* and visit with MAN a little while. See Lindbergh, a young man, play the real hero. On day, about noon, Lindbergh, having laughed and feeling good lifts his airship from earth towards the sky in Washington, and waves an adieu to a few friends. The next day around noon he lights in Mexico two thousand mils away, and bows to a hundred thousand strangers, all speaking a strange language. Young men, think of Lindbergh. Resolve to try a new field and think but little of glory, of getting your name in the press. Imagine IMAGINATION or achievement, and newspapers will worry about you, how to get your picture, how to get you to talk, sign up with you for a story of your life, you ask a teacher, and you go to a school to "go ye into the world" and solve a "race problem". Gentlemen, there is no "race problem". As you are so you were made by the Power that set you down where you are made that "race problem" trying to prove that TRUTH. One young man of color in the U. S. able to lift an airship to the sky as passersby, the night would lift a people with him and steer them through a night of despair. Big problems aerial solved by little things. Oaks from little acorns grow. Asked for a few words before leaving Greece, Alexander replied. "I may make a few remarks on him but you will hear me from at least as Pervyr." Returning Flags Perhaps you saw the picture of President Coolidge standing on the steps of the White House flanked by Union Soldiers and Stars pressed in the gray that once typified rebellion. Give that picture study deep thoughts. The gathering held a ceremony to honor Stars and Stems, the occasion of accession and slavery that was returned to the rebellion states by Maine through Governor Srewster. That IS important news. While this is the case, the situation so much the case should be slapped, look over the matter. Only a handful of rebel soldiers are left and if the evening of their lives can be made happy they fought to keep women in prostitution and men in bondage, don't deny them that pleasure. By this time Grant and Lee have made us. Most likely Lee has confessed to Grant how he knew from the time he met John Brown at Harper's Ferry that God was moving around. "However," Lee may have said. "I followed my mother, although I knew pride always goes before a fall." A few days ago a company of distinguished colored citizens, among them Kesey, Garnett Wilkerson, the noted educator, John T. Risher, and others, took a trip to Gettsyburg. This humble writer staved in, thinking of the gratitude of these gentlemen. Stayed in and read Lincoln's As long as there is a Gettyburg you can overlook Mr. Coolidge in the picture, the return of rebel flags and "Dixie," which was written by a man, being man on Pennsylvania avenue. Keep your eye on Lincoln at Gettyburg and nothing at the White House NOW can disturb you. Progress may order flank movements but it requires you to give three cheers for Robert Lee. Grants needs none. He is cheered by you, by your children, now free and to marry to yours, colored and to marry to the Confederate ordered around to suit whims and passions. For give and forget. More Facts 6. Distinguished colored men, most of them gentlemen on salary, first in one thing, then another, meet "Dear Lord, dear friend." That conference ought to have wide influence. For example, you ought to see that if you propose to go along with the civilization of YOUR country, you will have to look further than books and the "I second the motion" crowd. B or three or four people spoke formally abruptly, as to your business matters. Young people do no business feeling either one way or the other about the work of elders. THEIR dutty is to IMPROVE upon the work of older men and criticize in the silence of deeds better done. Angelo gazed in pride on a work of Ranhael and, calling for a ladder, ascended. With a stroke here, and others, using a hammer, unpacked clothes to a beautiful picture. Asked why he didn't let another touch up the work. Angelo replied, "I can criticize only with my brush." Young ladies and gentlemen with a dance card in one hand and a book in the other usually looking for a school to teach or a job in an art studio, do much to mimic using your present装置. Tell youth to look: learn, labor, dare, DO! Civilization*s, peoples, races are built on the soil, in factories, from the mines, upon the seas. Another FACT. Colored gentlemen who grow rich each month help the church money helping to win back the citizenship lost by the people when Uncle Sam turned his head a minute. What did the Durham conference did towards updating the work of Josephine Daniels, F. M. Simmons, now a senator in Washington, and Charles B. Aycock, now an attorney. Also you can wonder what colored gentlemen of North Carolina will do about Mr. Blair, who in bragging the tree, and went to Washington to bragg about it. Think of North Carolina, state of great intelligence: once the state of stout souls of your race.

They have control of the legal reserve of all the member banks, and are, therefore, able to concentrate funds where most needed. The Federal Reserve System produces loans that increase or decrease as business conditions justify. Member banks can make legitimate loans with funds derived from rediscounting the paper of their customers through the Federal Reserve Bank. By controlling rates of discount, they act as a safety valve on excessive speculation, and by making loans and payment function as depositories of, and fiscal agents for, the Government.

O New Year, write thou thine for us in lines of brightest gold! AMOS W. A Prayer For The New Year Dear Liar: Give us freely each day of the Spirit of Tolerance. May we be kindly disposed one toward another. Help us to esteem ourselves modestly, and to esteem our fellows generously. Help us to search diligently for Truth in the heart. Mind; and may we direct our Thoughts, our Words, and our Acts only toward Good.—M. R. Gas Right On Dear Lino: When dad had dates with maw he turned down the gas instead of stepping on 15. She Probably Was Dear Lino: An account of a recent wedding said: "The bride was attractive in an arm bokay of bride's roses and sweet peas." R. O. I "I'm With You Buddy" Dear Lintotype: If women continue to shoot and kill their husbands as they do in the past, they won't bawl out the woman he paid $125 for. If the steak is tough an' the biscuits are hard a fellow will have to eat at a restaurant. Then, if he does that, he likely to get a hammer. He will have to get his ginger together and form our own political party having as our platform "Demotion of Females." H. E. N. PEEK Tell Another One Dear Lintotype:—My (gusin) had chicken pox, and I told my kid brother he shouldn't go over to his house for a while.

My findings are these: "Ed" is my shiek's name and Co (with) her name and Co (with) and an sure with him every chance I get. Have you looked up the word? I. M. Another New Word Dear Lintotype:—Former President Wilson coined the word "normalcy" and since I am much an American citizen as he was, can coin a new, new companion. I am a young, a young lady may say, Bill and I were companionated" instead of saying "we were married". C. M. T. New Year Resolutions Dear Lino: I was just getting ready to write down some resolutions for the New Year when I ran across those I made last year, by the time I got to the office I had the before. Now you can't say I don't keep my New Year's resolutions, can you? The Last Line Are you all thru? Well then, remember. It takes brains to make money, and character to keep it. Another thing, a new year is the entrance to a new hall of progress—LINOTYPE. Poem This Week I am the New Year, and I come to you pure and unstained. Fresh flesh, the hand of God. Each day, a precious pearl, to you is given That you must string upon the silver thread of, their hand. Once strunge can never be unthreaded but stays and undyng record of your faith and skill. Each golden hour you must then weld the chain of hours That is no stronger than its weakest link. Into your hands is given all the wealth and power To know your life just what you will I give to you, free and unstinted, twelve glorious months Of soothing rain and sunshine golden; The nights for work and rest, the nights for peaceful slumber. All that I have I give with love unspoken. All that I ask—you keep the faith unbroken! Page Nine DAY BY\DAY American Institutions And The Trend Of Crime Big crimes like the revolting Hickman slaying of a 12-year old white girl and the Snyder killing may rivet your attention on the acute phases of this growing menace, but you don't have to be an alarmist to take a look at the whole question of laffness in America. Big the crimes are but big bios and creptions which break through the surface at an alarming rate. External conditions infiltrating the whole rubric of society under our present institutions which need serious study. These are not unnoticed, we are having to increase police numbers, build bigger jails, widen insane asylum facilities and increase public homes where the dregs of human society can be kept. We are having to may well complicate an age when one half of the world will be engaged in the business of keeping the other half from committing suicide or tearing its entire body. The whole question depends upon whether, under our present institutions, crime and laffness are on the increase or decrease in the number and economic growth of the country. If it is on the comparative increase, then we must either modify our institutions and living or prepare for the fate of other people whose corruptions destroyed their civilizations. Our System Of There will always be degenerates, but the general trend of lawlessness, the get-in-any way—you can spirit, and economic buckup hour—will keep 1000 and 1000 hours a day working men and $1000 12 hour per day tollers in the same factories; where we have prosperity and at the same time thousands of workers who cannot find jobs, is a problem. No family would tolerate selfishness within its ranks, and nations like families must produce statesmen and systems with the determination to wipe out unjust injustice. We might well study just how far our growing crime and lawlessness is being produced by our institutions and social customs. And Fond Parents If Noah Thompson's youthful column had done nothing more than prove the serious thinking relied on by Jaywood Brown's last week's Afro-AMERICAN Readers Say department, it would have served a valuable purpose. Mr. Brown, like a lot of "unisophisticated" people, has written a piece in his "just too bad" talk, but talk to him in some time on a group of these vivacious young boys and girls and he will return a musician referred to by him. Is it. Perthshire the thousands of Browns throughout the country kept in little more familiar touch with just what young people talk about and how they express it, there would be less cause for criticism. Chatham will not be all that is desired in cultural expression; it may even give us apprehension at times; but it is the talk and chatter of this group and nothing else is going on. But the trich like in the sand, and refusing to listen to it. It may be safe to soft pedal what grown-ups talk about and how they express it, but with young people the best safety we have is in unmerciful and frank facing the facts. A Thought With Walter Malone Walter Malone, late Memphis poet, said many wise things, but he rose to his zenith when he gave advice to men and women who wanted their life more fulfilling. Meeting him one day in the Cossit Library in that city, the poet expressed desire to write something inspiring to race men and women, and he fulfilled this wish. His poem "Opportunity" however should be an inspiration to men and women who think they have failed. We give it space as good reading for beginning the Opportunity ...They do me wrong who say I come no more. When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside the door, And bid you wake, and rise to fight again. Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Ease not the records of the day; At sunrise every soul is born again. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To laugh joys be blind, and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with the dead: But never blain a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend an arm to all who say "I can." No shamfucked outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou they lost youth all agast? Doth reel from righteous retribution's blow? Then turn from the hidden archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a murmurer? Rouse thee from thy spell! Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives the wings to flee from hell, Each night to guide the feet to heaven! Look And Learn 1. Which is the nearest planet to the earth? 2. What our greatest critic, as well as one of our reading books? 3. When was the first U. S. census taken? 4. What city of South America is situated on one of the world's most fertile islands? 5. What man is credited with a great discovery through flying a kite?

C. 46-24 in the Parish House Gym. Murphy, St. Christopher's elusive forward, put the locals out in front a minutes after the opening whistle went on a rampage. Seay and Satchell closed the half to the time of 26-5. The seafold half found the visitors out for blood with Sonny Hawkins leading the battle. They piled up 19 points in second half but St. Christopher's lead was to much to overcome.

HOWARD'S CASE IN HANDS OF CIA A H'ADS Agreement On The Four Year Collegiate Rule Only Thing To Break Barrier 'PREP' MEN ELIGIBLE FOR VARSITY AT HOWARD U. Howard-Lincoln Game Al- most Certain WASHINGTON—"Unless the Athletic Committee of the C. I. A. A., agrees upon the four year collegiate eligibility rule, Howard University will not join that or organization this year or the next." stated Dr. E. P. Davis chairman of the Athletic Council, Thursday, when interviewed by a rep- resentative of the AFRO. This was the only statement forthcoming from the Bison's executive, who with other members of the university, and other members of the C. I. A. Army general officers, got the AFRO Office with the expectation of clearing up the wrangle between Howard and C. I. A. A. A. E. The Conti oversaw that which has been a long Dr. E. P. drawer since he began in 1924 when the Southern conference ousted Howard because they used "Tubby" Miller, a former player, in that circuit. Lincoln University was also dumped out when they agreed to play Howard as usual in the annual Thanksgiving Game. The Trojan. The Howard Athletic body contends that a man who plays four years on a preparatory eleven in one of the C. I. I. A. schools, still has four years more of football to play when he enters college. The members of the team are made up of "prep" as well as college men, aver that a player can only play football four years in the conference, whether he is college or prep. C. I. A. A. Viewpoint C. I. A. A. viewpoint that is within two years, preparatory teams will be on a college basis and able to meet Howard's demands. Meantime, says Secretary Charles Williams, Howard ought to come into the association and help smaller schools to come up to higher standards. Howard, because it is big, ought not to want to impose its rules, excellence in school, when football men are so scarce in colleges that the props are called on to help out. A Compromise Howard could afford, they say, to enter the C. I. A. A., and schedule 2 or 3 games, agreeing to play them under C. I. A. A. rules but using its own eligibility rules when it plays non-conference games like Wilberforce and Atlanta. Lincoln Lincoln, who is a member of the C. I. A. A., buttens a strictly college eleven, will probably meet. Howard as usual in the annual Thanksgiving game. As the matter now stands, Shaw is the only C. I. A. A. team in that section using all college men when Hampton, Union, A. A. and T. State, Va. Seminary and St. Paul all move into the collegiate ranks, maybe then the wrangle will be settled.

Friday night. A second after the whistle sent opposing quintets into action permitted the team to show how bad sent in different sum than that which met the Elks in previous week. A few minutes after the whistle turned fouled Jones, who completed half of the team's scoring, Sheffield started on a shootout rampage that the combined effaces of the opposing team seemed to stop. As one of the players and almost single-minded pulled up a 24 to 6 margin, scoring of its team's points. Jones displayed a better form than he did in the first encounter and took credit for four field goals and two touchdowns in the fall accounted for one each. A lack of team work was a great injury in the defeat of the Elks Team Brown of the aggregation is driving increasing symptoms of concussion and a period of concussion on the bench would give an opportunity to recuperate in a good team man. Stress Defense The victory was the culmination of the game during which Cash Drew stressed defensive tactics. His sleagon for the night was that they shall not pass. How successfully did they succeed in the fact that the game ended 47 in 16 in favor of his charges. Eight of the opponents' points were scored in long shots and two were the result of fouls. Mixup During the last period Simpson scored a rebound and referee Gibson got into a foul and bounced both. Morgan ran up such a substantial lead in the game that it frequently relied on "freezing" the ball at which art the team's breakup took place. This maneuver usually resulted in one Morgan player slipping under the basket for a score. Morgan has rounded into form. The first game made it seem doubtful if the 1927 champions could come back. They had speed and accuracy and were able to process the processes. Morgan made the Elkos look like high school boys because of the high speed the Boars maintained. Elke Carroll, midfielder sophomore, went in as a substitute in the last round. They've put in the "massively velled the Morgan" move and went to talk about the eve could scare to follow the play.

In the metropolitan city of New York, the staggering sum of $48,000,000 was spent by devotees of sport. Other, more modest, sources of the history of Spardon have fans in every branch of sport undertaken to support the tariff imposed by the powerful cars who rule with iron hands. C. C. Pyle, with his high salaried tennis professionals, and the magnetic "Red Grange rivalled Ricketts," have the shock to fight lovers the world over was the sudden passing of Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, picturesque middleweight champion, who first saw the light of day at Camille, Georgia. Walk Miller, the inapparable manager, pal of the soul paw of the world, would undergo a minor operation at the hands of the skilled Dr. Fraalik, well known bone specialist who gained no little fame through reconstructing the fighting paws of Jack Delaney, Paul Benchenbach, Gene Tunney, and Harry Wills. Flowers An operation was performed immediately for the correction of Flowers' frontal bone over the right eye that bothered him considerably for a number of years. It was later given out by Dr. Fraalik, that the Georgia Deacon suffered from a complaint that seldom appeared with those of mature age and that he was known to be a medical professional as "Lamphiatus." Like the never to be forgiven "Florence Mills" for whom the theatrical world still mourns, Flowers left a valuable estate estimated at $300,000 in buildings and holdings and was known to be the most famous of this will is in progress. The bursting of the "Harry Wills Bubble" at the hands of the talkative ex-sailorman Jack Sharkey, brought the herculean figure of George Godfrey into the picture. Prior to defeating Wills, Sharkey used George Godfrey to the rescue. Godfrey took the mastodonic colored fighter had gone through the 12 rounds without extra exertion. In his New York appearances against Jack Townsend and Martin Burke, Jimmy Dudherdy's protégé looked positively terrible. Like Godfrey, he was a brilliant fighter, and preto another "Dark Menace" was brought into being via the route of the facile pen of countless sport writers the country over. Potentially, Godfrey is the greatest boxer of the present day and figures to defeat Hiskor and the other great fighter. Godfrey is a skinking crew with consummate ease, finishing off with a win over the self-contained Gene Tunney. But championships are not won on paper, and there are many fans who still claim that George is lacking in real class and skill. Godfrey is a brilliant fighter, sharing in that opinion, and expects 1928 to find Godfrey, the toughest sort of nut to crack for anyone in the racket. Its dollars to doughnuts that the white brigade will give him the well known "runaround," as has Dempsey given Harry Wills. Oscar Charleston Still Great Charleston, unquestionably the greatest colored flycatcher and hitter in baseball, showed no signs of wear and tear. His wonderfully developed legs still carry him over the baseline paths with the speed of a frightened jack-knife. He is a potent factor against the best white and colored pilchers in the land. The Chicago American Giants won the 1927 baseball championship in the eight club circuit of the "National Negro Baseball League," an organization that is much stronger than any of the Minor Leagues in Canada and the United States. In fact the brand of ball played around the league was the "American League" in the 1927 berlind Posey's Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh, revived the memories of the Lincoln Giants of 1914, and Rube Foster's Famous Leland and American Giant ensembles of 1907-08-09-10. Vic Harris, Jap Washington, Mackey, entered the hall of fame during the late season, Dihigo the crack Cuban all around player was the most valuable colored ball player of the season, and he was the most valuable big lee star as Manush, Helman, Eddie Collins, and others pronouncing him the best thrower in all baseball. Colored football reached its usual high pinnacle, the annual Howard-Lincoln clash drawing a crowd of 20,000 from various parts of the country. Football West Virginia Institute, Bluefield, Wilberforce, Tuskegee, Edward, and Tallahoga, turned out powerful pitchers, and a few could be picked to pick an "All American," but space does not permit at this writing, and our selections for the season's close was published late in November. Wesley Foster, Wanachie H. S. and now of Washington State University, is a likely candidate for the Olympic teams in the sprints. He is just about the "fastest human" from 50 to 75 yards, and is a splendid relay performer. Butler of Geneva College, the inimitable Dehart Hubbard, and the most successful British Guiana in the 1928 Olympics at Amsterdam Holland; Charlie Mayor of St. Bonaventure, Cecil Cooke, of Syracuse; Cater, the broad jumping marvel from the doughy Isle of Haiti who has leaped over 25 feet, 6 inches were roughly, the year's sensation among the copper colored athletes. He is the most successful skirts of "Cass High School" to any a track meet victory. Randy Taylor of Tuffs, at present Ast. Football Coach at Johnson C. Smith University, was All New England end, and ran the century in close to 9.8 seconds. Marion Miller of New York proved to be the greatest public school sprinter of the decade. He was the most successful Howard P. Drew. In basketball the Renaissance Big Five were but a stone's throw behind the World champion Celtics. Jenkins, Mayers, Faill, Slocum, Sanders, Ricks, and Saitch comprised the outfit that humbled the best professional clubs in the country. Ever Saitch won the tennis championship but was forced to relinquish his precious baule to Tuffs in the second half of the season, a badly sprained ankle contributing heavily to his defeat. Tommy Burns, who held the heavyweight championship of the world after Jim Jeffries had retired unbeaten, admits that size alone prevented his being a great world's title holder. This stocky little fellow, who was a stride back of greatness in everything he ever attempted in the way of a title, had been incapacified because he lacked in heft and stature he made up in courage, ability, determination there can be no doubt. It wasn't until Burns met Jack Johnson for the title in Australia that he realized how unkind nature had been to him. He tried to flog the giant black bear, but the bear refused to let him pass. It was on the occasion of this battle in the far away Land of the Southern Cross that the late Jack London wrote of Johnson's "golden smile," the "aubysmal brute." London was touring the world in his small boat, the Shark, at the time and was the only writer worth while lucky enough to be on the ground. He was very confident that he could whip Johnson despite the vast difference in their sizes. Johnson tricked every Australian betting man who popped up with a penny to bet on the result. He went about the streets with the aid of a cane, wearing dark glasses, the picture of dejection and utter collapse, the inner reason for doing this aside from the desire to clean up in the betting. He was afraid that Burns in the end would realize that he was up against a physical stone wall and might withdraw from the match to save his title. Whether Burns was taken in by Johnson's hoodwinking is not known. If he was not, he ignored the match. He went in to whip Johnson for good and all. How he failed is musty ring history. Burns had knocked out Jack Palmer and Gunner Moir in England, Jem Roche in Ireland, Jewey Smith in France and Quirrel in England. Jem Roche's world's heavyweight champion it was Burns. Yet there loomed before him the menacing shadow of Johnson. When they finally came to the ring Johnson toyed with Burns as he had always played with men smaller than himself. Burns, like the great Ketchel, found size agains him above every other consideration. He went on at and on bravely, unflinching, himself. Hugh McIntosh stopped the bout to save Burns furtherishment. "I wasn't a great champion," said Burns the other day. "I never would have been a great champion because with the help of the big fellow I belonged with a big fellow at a big strong fellow was bound to get me. It happened to be Johnson. I thought that I could outgame him. I was even conceived about it and I thought that I could outplay him. I got into the ring. I don't think any heavyweight ever lived who could have outsmarted Jack Johnson. He fought to suit himself. Made his own pace, his own battle, his own result. He was utterly indifferent concerning your own fighting plans.

BRUCE FLOWERS WINS DESPITE HISSES Lightweight Boxer Owes Victory To Excellent Physical Condition CROWD IS HOSTILE Hisses And Boos Make Him Look Like Amateur NEW YORK CITY — Bruce Flower, lightweight, fighting at 133½; took the decision from Lou Paluso, Salt Lake City, 134, in the semi-final of eight rounds to the Sid Tennis-Phil McGraw held in the Garden. The fight was a close one and Lou put up a worthy battle, but Flowers plainly proved that he was the better man, largely due to his superior strength and excellent condition. The crowd roundly "booed" the judge's decision, despite the universal agreement of all the sports writers that it was a merited one. Flowers had the shade in the third fourth, fifth, and eighth rounds, staggering Paluso twice with rights to the jaw in the third round. The best that could be said for Lou was that the other rounds were even, and this is being charitable. All in all little Bruce laughed by far the most effective blows and at least twice as many as his opponent. Flowers, despite his outclassing of Paluso, at times, because of his punching and missing, looked like a ragged amateur. MOREHOUSE WINS TWO ATLANTA. Ga.—The Morehouse basketball team opened the season Thursday evening with a 49-17 win from the Paine College, of Augusta, Georgia.

Eastern Con. For 1927 Tuskegee, Champions; Clark, Alabama, Atlanta, Tennessee Fisk, Morehouse, Knoxville, Morris Brown, Talladega And Florida Follow In Order Southern football again had a wonderfully successful season in 1927. Tuskegee won its fourth straight championship and in doing so completed a series of games from October 1923 to Morehouse College and two were tied, one with Atlanta University in October 1923 and the other with Florida State Normal in December 1927. Lincoln University, Tuskegee's international rival of the last two years was again beaten at Philadelphia 30-0. At Atlanta, the conqueror was defeated in football by mud 7 to 0. The Tuskegee team probably was a shade weaker than the wonderful line-up of 1928 but plenty of caliber to go with the team's smartness. King Of Lightweights Best Bout In 1898 Joe Gans King Of Lightweights Fought Best Bout In 1898 Joe Gans, a son of Baltimore, and in his day the greatest little lightweight the ring has ever seen, fought his most beautiful battle in New York with Kid McPartland, white, in 1898. McPartland had been mowing down all of the lightweights and had become the idol of the New York boxing enthusiasts. He was a fighter of great skill with only a lefthand punch. In this battle it was a game of superiority between two skillful boxers, both of whom could hit hard. For three rounds Gans did not try to hit a blow. He simply studied his man. After that he scored straight along on points. In the thirteenth round he reached McPartland's forehead with a blow so hard that Mac was sent backward to keep from falling, actually running backward to keep from falling down. The crowd marveled. Gans had not been struck on full blow, if any. The house, the big Lennox Club, was so quiet that the situation was actually dramatic. A long, deep breath could be distinctly heard 20 feet away. thirteenth KAPFAS (22) OMEGAS (18) and'fore the that Mace from backwheel the crow the enew struck house, the quiet that Woods,rf. p. 2 2 2 0 Coates,rf. p. 3 1 7 Soneaf,rf. 2 1 0 Coates,rf. p. 3 1 7 Wheatley,lg. 1 0 2 Berry,rf. p. 2 1 3 Wheatley,lg. 1 0 2 Campbell,lg. 1 0 3 White,rtg. 1 0 2 F.

Satisfied that he had won beyond any possible quibble, Gans simply defended himself for the last two rounds and got the decision. There was not a drop of blood spilled and save for the hard lump on McPartland's forehead and a heavy bruise on his jaw there was little except some redness of the face and body. Gans then entered theenchanted left the building as fully satisfied as if the mill had been a bruising, punishing bloody affair.

After defense in Florida in turn, the Hornets lost to Atlanta and Langston, the latter and intersectionsal opponent. The game were played with Clark and Tuskegee.

ELKS 'DUCK' BASKETEERS TO START JAN. 2 Ten Games Arranged Including Wilmington And D. C. Schools. 21 GET LETTERS Football Team To Lose Seven Men Next Year. With ten games listed, the first one to be played January 6, the Douglass High School championship basketball combination expects to start practice Monday, January 2, after being held up several weeks by the Athletic Council on a dispute as to whether the team will able to play on foreign fields. Experiencing the same trouble the varsity football team met with, local fans may not be able to see the "Ducks" meet Howard Preshniman, Dunbar, Armstrong and Minor Normal, whom they have games booked with. The ruling that the team must engage in games on foreign courts after their regular school hour, "and be here in the city the same evening, when they have all sports at the Baker Street School. The tentative schedule is as follows: January 6, location: Washington; January 20, Howard High here; January 27, Armstrong here; February 3, Dunbar here; February 14, Washington; February 19, Howard High at Wilmington; February 2, Armstrong at Washington; March 1, Dunbar; March 1, Northern Washington; March 1, Northern Washington. The same trouble that cut the football schedule to three games confronts the prospective court. The same trouble that Education that teams must play after school hours, and in case they go out of the city, they must be assigned to a football hall has alone ruled the "Ducks." The "Ducks," who plan opening January 6, are in a position to play the game. A city has become the problem. It is almost impossible for the locals to leave after school, which is at 4 p.m. I go into play a 6 game before lunch. The pulley was inaugurated for the first time in 1982.

McVey weighed 151 pounds, Greb 146.1 McVey gave the definite impression that he could have put Gretel so desired after the first three rounds. He flinched the Scraton boy to a no count in the second, had Gretel run the route to the face in the fourth and rocked him for a nine-drop with a left hook to the button in the sixth. The large heavyweight, knocked out Lew Williams, in 208 of the second round. The bout was scheduled for six sessions.

Ashbie Hawkins and Paul Johannsen were given letters of administration for the estate of the late Mrs. Cabell Calloway Tuesday. They furnished bond of $5,000.

Oldest "Orphan Child" Is 27 Union Home For Is Regula Fifteen Kiddies Are Clothed, I tion Started 15 Years Ago. Up on McCullough street at number 1809, 12 kiddies, some without parents, others who have lost a parent, of whose folk are not on good terms, find a home. There isn't much elegant about it, just one of those regular big houses of the dark invasion. Somehow generosity and goodwill have not been sufficient to make Union Industrial Home for Orphans and Destitute Children a grand place, but it has a honey air. Started 15 years ago by the Rev. George W. West, Delaware Williams, the Elle William Smith House, the barn of the Maryland State Baptist Convention when the late Dr. Harvey Johnson was one of its leading lights, the place has cared for over 250 children. Seeing its first few years ago as a school out in Baltimore County and later on Arlington avenue, the home has left its rented quarters, the home has left its present quarters. J. Howard Payne, local attorney, is agent for the institution. Quiet and unassuming, the Rev Mr. West and his wife have never forced the home upon the organized charities. The Baptist church collects a few dollars now and then and the amateur makes something. This mixed with prayer and what the institution can earn has somehow made up the $180 needed weekly for maintenance, the Rev Winston says. Inquiring here and there whether some husband's wife had left him with children or whereabouts of another widow, the work of juvenile charity has gone on. Now a family was found destitute, parents sick, food low. Baskets of food, usually obtained by sacrifices, went to them somehow. A mother had to work and needed to leave by someone's care, and Union came in handy again. Among the most interesting of the Man Beat Girl With Hot Frying Pan Because she refused to prepare his dinner, Miss Lauren Steinette, 509 W.

He came to the home when nine years old. Grown up and sent out for himself, he became married and had two children. Now at age eleven, he came to the school who gave him home care in an institution. Mrs. Harmon is assistant matron and her kiddies romp about the none too well furnished but comfortable house. "We do not have a fine place here," the Resident from the interview, said, "we are filling a distinct need. There is no home of this type operated by any other members of the race in the state. Cheltenham and the House of Good Shepherd do not fill the needs of small children who need the best care. "We teach the girls to do homework, sew, cook and some music. The boys do caning and upholstering. We have use for anything the public can give us from newspapers up." The 'six rooms for the youngsters are clean. Most of them with hats and dressers, the furnishings being severely plain in most instances. The house is heated by a hot air furnace. A drive for $37,000 to buy and equip a farm in Harford County will be held in January. An option has already been secured on the 45 acre place. It is well stocked with fruit, livestock, and is suitable for farming. The farm is to keep as many boys on the farm as possible during the summer months, allowing them to go to school as they do now in winter. The girls will be maintained at the present farm, will serve as offices and dormitory. The trustees of Union are the Revs. A. C. Gilbert, S. A. Bolden, George West, J. R. Webb, Prof. W. J. Winston, preside of No. 1000 of the University N. and Prof. A. L. Phillips, dean of the same institution. Interracial Party Opens League Year The Youth Workers' League, a forum group which meets weekly at at the APRO-AMERICAN offices, will open its 1928 activities January 6 with an interracial party at the home of Charles Young, 1100 Drud Hill avenue. The league is a new group organized here this fall with the object of obtaining better race relations among workers. The organization's social is to be a follow-up of crum discussion upon race contacts. At the meeting Saturday night remedial suggestions for solving the problem of miners caught between unemployment and strikes, were of interest to the organization. D. McDaniels proposed government operation of all coal mines as a means of solution. The power of the strike was declared to be worthless by Maurice Ross, who stated that the trouble hinges upon over production and surplus production. The league is headed by Edward Marshall, white.
