Admitting, jocularly, however, the existence of an organization of colored members headed by white organizers, and that they had at last been "smoked out" by the AFRO story, the Supreme Scorpion explained that "silence" was the basic principles of the organization, and all members are pledged to secrecy. Silent Sept The term, "Silent Sept," he explained, means silent klan and while there are regular meetings at the headquarters at 10 East- Lexington street, no one is permitted to divide the organization. The purpose, he said, is social and economic welfare of the members. There is no connection with the Ku Klux Klan. In fact, its Supreme Officers are scattered in cities throughout the East. Although the organization does not have $5, Scorpion Hot declared that it was not by any means a commercialized organization. No dues were mentioned. He as well as the other supreme officers, worked for a living. The organization came out of a desire to cement a group of progressive, colored men into an organization which would free them from economic and political bondage.

The question asked was whether the jay-ally wanted the Negro vote and promised any changes from the old order. Second-Handed When advised that the New Yorkers views were second-handed, the teacher asked the speech the senator was to make, and said: "Uncle Joe did not have authority to discuss such questions as are not contained in the party agenda." Please There Senator Cole Blease (dem. S. C.) and Senator Carter Glass (dem. Va.) sat on the platform. Senator Swanson (dem. Va.) introduced the speaker.

The race question was not mentioned. Free Masons Senator Robinson in an appeal to the Masonic order quoted one Albert Preece: "Free-Masonry makes no war on the Roman Catholic religion. This is impossible to prove to proclaim its cardinal tenets to be the most perfect and absolute equality of free oinion in matters of speech." Preece in Office President Andrew Jackson appointed Roger B. Taney, a Catholic metropolitan, to the office that later became Supreme Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Koehler, head of the General Public Department, Mrs. Lila B. Wyman, aged Bostonian and life long adherent to the Republican Party, played discrimination and other forms of personal injustices practiced by the party. Mrs. Wyman called special attention to injustice experienced American citizens in national offices in Washington and suggested that every means be resorted to to make the parks, White House and other public free alike to white and color- Person Justice Says Mrs. Wyman: "I should address Mrs. you personally on any issue which seems important to me, and the question is very important whether the next Administration shall make every effort to secure personal and public justice by personal justice, I mean that the National authority should forbid any discrimination of a segregation or otherwise and any institutions which are under its special control; that every privilege in any park or other place under its control should be free to the use of colored as white persons; that the White House in its social functions of a prison should be free to whites; and that special courtesy should be shown to American and foreign colored persons, whenever it would be shown to them, were Political Justice By political justice, I mean that the right of colored citizens to vote should be maintained by force if necessary, so that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments shall be executed; and that mob violence should be distinguished from private murder and made a crime in the nature of rebellion against the National Government. I think that long and dreadful experience has shown that local authorities cannot be trusted to deal with the lynching crimes. Calline attention to conditions in the South and throughout the country. Mrs. Wyman says that her eighty years experience and study continued her teaching today, and she is a group of some 12 millions of native born Americans, who have been obliqued by outside and often savely hostile forces to live apart by themselves, though they do not understand other people and are not understood by them. This group is the one made up of persons of condept or partial African descent, very intelligent and of that group is unjustly treated by his fellow countrymen. Broadly speaking, every unintelligent member of this group feels that they justly treated their own speaking and all know that they are and have been called upon to act like patriots. WEST VA.

But its time has come and the inmates are managed by the State. At each of the prison farms is a pack handled by a "dog sergeant" and two or three trustees. **Conditions are absolutely monstrous.** The men are treated with the utmost savagery.

Lewis Cites Annual $15,000 Deficit As The Cause COLLEGE ENROLLMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 200 ATLANTA, GA., (By Jesse O. Thomas)—John H.

Fountain present Chancellor of the university was elected to the bench in President Obama's tenure, he passed on Southern California became the unanimous choice of the alumni and trustees for the presidency of his alma mater. He is also a graduate of Yale and Chicago University. During this incumbency the Boulevard public school, formerly occupied by whites, was purchased by the university at a cost of $60,000 and became the campus of Turner Theological Seminary. President Lewis also added a corps of young men and women trained in the best schools in the country. Eight thousand dears, spanned a library, laboratories and equipment.

Now states grant graduates professional certificates on the presentation of their college diplomas without further examination.

Annual Deficit The annual cost of operation of Morris is around $50,000. Assured income including money raised from church donations tuition is approximately $35,000.

The pastor declared that the church that did not provide a place for restless little ones should not utter a reproach when a baby cried in fear. After services, six babies were christened. $7,000 PARSONAGE FOR NEW PASTOR $7,000 PARSONAGE FOR NEW PASTOR Rev. S. H. James, of Williamsport, Pa. To Pastor Leadenhall Baptist.

GRAY HOME FROM LOUISVILLE MEETING Nothing But Praise For Louisville Which Has 50 Baptist Churches CITY HAS COLORED COPS Says He Believes Sentiment Of West Is For Hoover PETER B. Please allow me space to announce my trip to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was my pleasure to attend the Baptist Convention Delegates for the first every state in the union were present. It was my privilege to preach the Memorial sermon. The people of Louisville are very hospitable. The whites and colored seem to be very congenial. Louisville has colored policemen, detectives, fifty colored Baptist churches, fifteen colored schools, including Simmons University, public newspapers, two banks and quite a few drug stores, all located in the business sections. These institutions employ about 350 persons. I visited the Great Mammoth Cave and the Eden Valley, covering 2000 acres. The mouth of the Mammoth Cave is said to be 750 feet above sea level, 190 feet above the level of the Green River. One of the first things noticed by visitors is the strong current of color that I also visited the Sand Cave of Collins, the little house by the roadside. about 10 to 12, where Collins resided. We visited the little log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born and drank of the spring where he frequented. **Guides For Caves** It was interesting to meet a few colored people who were acquainted with Collins, in that they were able to give any information connec- tion there. There were quite a few colored guides for the cave. It was a pleasure to have dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Bransford, who resided on the cave grounds in a hotel. For quite a while, I was try- ing to learn who I should support in the Presidential campa- nig; but after attending the National Baptist Convention, which represents more than three million Baptists in the United States, visiting Harper, Lincoln, Cincinnati and Louis, I have been con- tinued by the sentiment of this great host and those with whom I came in contact that Mr. Hoover is the man. I believe that the pri- ciple who he stands will serve help he people of the country as nothing else will. Rev Junius Gray, pastor of Missional Baptist Church, Cor- Sec. of the Mt.

From the subject: "He shall shine c. the morning" the minister said in part: "All the natural beauty of a dawning including, the sunrise, the sky, the atmosphere, the new opportunities, are symbolic of what Christ means to one who accepts Him. "No man or woman does truly appreciate the beauty of Nature until Christ had risen in the soul, for man can have no insight to God — and Nature is God — until he has been emerged "But", conti- ed the speaker, "we must be reasonable in beautifying the edifice which a number of us call the church.

COURT Boys 14 And 18 Kept In Dark Cells 23 Days Without A Lawyer BEATEN WITH STRAPS THREATENED WITH GUN Sheriff's 'Third Degree' Includes Placing Them In Electric Chair NEW YORK—A horrible tale of the conviction of two Negro boys, aged 14 and 18 years, respectfully, of first degree murder, after confessions had been extorted from them by threats of electrocution, brutal whippings, and confinement in dark cells, is contained in a letter written by W. J. Lanier, of Forest City, Arkansas, attorney for the boys, to the N. A. A. C. P. The N. A. A. C. P. is supporting with a contribution of $200, the attorney in his efforts to procure a stay of execution and reversal of the case Robert Bell and Grady Swain were convicted by the St. Francis County Circuit Court in March, 1928, of the murder by drowning of a wife boy, Julius McCollin boy, 13. Another boy, Thomas, aged 10, was accused, but his drowned body was found ten or more days after that of the McCollin boy. The Third Degree Mr. Laniex's letter then goes on: "Grandy Swain, as he was seen with the McCollum boy, was accused and arrested, brought to and in the night placed in jail in Forest City, given the third degree by the Sheriff with his six shooter displayed at a side, whipped with a strap with a buckle on it and he was then taken by the same Sheriff to Monroe County, played and kept there in jail, days, then returned to Forest City and again placed in jail and then taken by the same Sheriff to the penitentiary wall at Little Rock, placed and kept continually in the stockade until he was returned to Forest City at the beginning of the March, 1928, term of Circuit Court. In Dark Cell "Robert Bell, for the sole reason that he was seen in front of the store with the McCollium boy on the afternoon of the drowning, was arrested by a deputy sheriff who killed one or two men, bore a bad reputation and (was) accused of manufacturing and selling whiskey and brought to and placed in Forest City, where he remained a short time and then by the same Sheriff taken and placed in a dark cell at the state penitentiary at Little Rock. He remained in this dark cell with and kept there, the most despicable criminals, until the convening of the Circuit Court at Forest City, March last." Mr. Lanler, after stating that 9 days elapsed between convening of court and indictments and 13 1-2 days before appointment of attorneys to defend the boys, continues: Strap Had Steel Breath "We procured from them that Sheriff will fill after dark, with six shooters displayed at his side, had severely whipped the Swain boy once or twice with a leather strap about three feet long, with a steel buckle on the end of it, trying to force him without success to tell that he robbed and drowned the McColum boy." Beaten Three Times Beaten Three The treatment given Robert Bell, 14 years old, Mr. Lanier describes as follows: "Robert was unmercifully and inhumanely on three different occasions in the presence of this same fifteen-year-old whipman, a 1-2 feet long by 3 inches wide, with a handle, by Warden S. L. Todhunter, in the walls of the penitentiary with a futile effort to force a confession out of him. He was prior to this confession, his coat and lie down on the floor on his stomach.

The last whipping given, Grady was commanded and made by the same warden to sit on Robert's head, the hands while Toddhunter, a man whose weight is unwards of 225 pounds and strong as a lion, poured and whipped him with the same companied by curses and death threats. Grady was also made to remove his knee, lie on his stomach while the same Tedhunter cursed, threatened and whipped him with the same strap. Confessions Extorted on January 28, 1928, after these inhumane and unmerciful whippings and after having been shown the electric execution chair these two colored boys, in the absence of their father, mother, brother, sister, friend, and apparently all even God himself, were taken and deserted them, one was taken from the dark, black penitentiary walls and the other from the dark and lonely dungeon in the night time to the small private office of the same Todhunter and in the presence of B. McCarthy, the lawyer, who hired non-resident stenographer and hired attorney from Memphis the window shades pulled down, the lights turned on, by persistent interrogations, two confessions, one in full which did not suit the fastidious idea of these just, true and Christian gentlemen and the second tendered wring from these ignorant, helpless and abandoned children and later used against them in the court trial. The conduct of the trial, according to Mr. Lanier, was equally barbarous. He writes that a motion to disqualify the Sheriff, because of his activities, from summoning a jury to try them, was overruled; that a motion to postpone because of absence of witnesses, was also overruled. "I felt as much interested in these little colored boys as if they had been my own children," writes Mr. Lanier, "and we made as strong defense for them as thought they were our own boys. I firmly, honestly and sincerely, believed as innocent of the offense charged against them as I am or you are." 12-Year-Old Also Acused Mr. Lanier further informs the N. A. A. C. A. p a 12-year-old brother of A. G. A. was also accused, his clothes saturated with oil, and that the child was in the woods after "confessing" that he drowned the McColllum boy.

Florida Primary Case To Supreme Court NEW YORK—Negroes of Florida will carry to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary, on appeal, a case involving their right to vote in the 2016 election.

Thomas, Republican and former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern district of New York, is going to support Governor Smith for President. In commenting on his espousal of Governor Smith for President Thomas said: "Alfred E. Smith is a standard-bearer of the Democratic party, a party that has for a number of years dominated a large section of the United States where people have sought to work out their particular problems of life. There is no doubt that their healthful growth has been stagnant by many iniquitous practices directed against them especially by those in authority. Wouldn't Strengthen Enemies "Under the circumstances, we naturally ask ourselves a serious question. If we cast our ballots for Alfred E. Smith will it result in strengthening those forces that have apparently ben our enemies in the Study? "I have spent most of my life studying the problems of our people, and I am amazed at the strides they have made in spite of the obstacles they have had to overcome. The Republican party has felt that the American Negro is indifferent to the problems of the Congress and President freed them from bondage. Never Would We abolished Slavery "Those of us best informed about the freedom of the American Negro know that it had to be done in order to preserve the Union, and if the union can be maintained without the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation slavery would not have been abolished. "The Negro group, since that time, wherever permitted to exercise the ballot, has solidly voted for the Republican party against the Democratic party irrespective of the character of its representative. Naturalized voters are party voters that it would get the Negro vote, was under no obligation to the group after election, and has conducted itself accordingly. "After deep consideration of the question, I have concluded to cast my ballot for Alfred E. Smith for President of the United States, for I sincerely believe he will not permit any individual or group to induce him to vote on behalf of office and reserve the rights of all citizens under the Constitution of the United States including the 14th and 15th Amendments. Working People's Friend "I do not know a better way to judge a man's future actions than by his past. His efforts in behalf of the people have been tireless and unselfish. He is friends of all the people, friend of the oppressed, and has never forgotten the working man and working woman. "He has throughout his entire life stressed the proposition that there must be equal opportunity for all without consideration, and color even white person must necessarily feel the benefit of these laws. I am satisfied to cast my ballot for a man who can boast of such a past." N. Y. CIVIL SERVICE (Prepared by the N. X. Academy of Bus.) GOOD NEWS—50 State Tests to be held September 29th.

On Sunday, October 14, the Dark Tower will celebrate its first anniversary. The swank tea room which has been the storm center of innumerable word battles has remained the smartest of our restless invisite of much gossip in the contrary. The opening was the Tower a year ago was nothing short of sensational, its visitation read — dedicated to our literary group — but the literary group, the poorest of all groups, complained that the prices at the Tower were prohibitive so far as it wascerned, and the back fire began everywhere one turned, one heard the same talk. Prices are one high. But everytime one opened the Tower, one met the people who cried the door, and it went. loudness. With the advent of Irene Alexander as hostess, there was a decided change in policy. Price dropped considerably, and a 65-cent supper was inaugurated. Miss Alexandra was an exceptional cook. The arrival of two new tea brewer, the Jack and Jill, and La Boheme, made no difference to the Tower. On Monday and Tuesday evenings, the tea room was closed, the floor was available for private parties and some wows were pulled Another feature of the Tower has been its exhibits. A number of interesting paintings prints and sculptures have been on exhibition during the year. Groups of both white and colored artists have displayed both white and colored subjects. And what has been of more interest, and some, the artists themselves frequented the Tower. At all times there has been a collection of Negro books and books devoted to the Ne- And now the question has been put before us — Do you think the Dark Tower has filled a need, or do you think it should close? really.

Bill White Returns From Haiti After a month's visit to the romantic Isle of Haiti, Bill White, son of Clarence Cameron White, returned Saturday on the Royal Netherland's Astree. He left with his father on August 7 on the Antarctica and reports spent in the Gulf Stream; he won fifty gourds ($10.00) in a cock fight and owes his luck to Sylvester, a cock of great favor; he saw a genuine Voodoo and states that if one were staged in its entirety, all participants would be promptly jailed; he visited at his summer palace in Petionville; travelled from Santiago to Havana by airplane; and spent two days in Havana as the guest of Christian Gross, American Charge d' Affairs in Haiti and, incidentally, a land-son with his father. His father is remainin in Haiti until the 14th. He is collecting material for a musical drama to be built around the life of Dessaline. 3 Die In Harlem Tenement Fire NEW YORK—A five-month-old baby, her mother and a man died as a result of a fire at 1968 Seventh avenue, thought to have been of incendiary origin. Thursday. Mrs. Millicent Rutledge. 20, was taken unconscious from the third floor to a hospital where she soon recovered. The infant died in Rutledge. The infant died in Barbara, dead beside her.

Miss.-Declaring that unequal opportunities because of color and race in the exercise of the rights and privileges of citizens are not sufficient to burdens upon white people as well as injustice to colored people. Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on the Church and Race Restoration, told the Gulfside Assembly of the New Orleans Area, M. E. Church, that jim crowism must be removed from our public facilities. Lynching "Lynching is a national crime, a dreadful evil which has grown up from the hostile feelings and attitudes and practices of the past. It is a crime that operation will inevitably limp along in a half-halting way until America becomes a lynchness land and until every human being is safe in life and limb and liberty in every locality of the country, poor and no matter, what, his color. NEW YORK.—(By William Pickens)—The Institute of Politics has been meeting in Boston, and under the leadership of Dr. R. L. Buell, of the Foreign Policy Association, they have considerable thought to the "Data Continent." They seem to be as whether Firestone's concession in Liberia will be a blessing or a curse to that country. On this point we expressed ourselves, when the concession was being negotiated for: Any economic power that is superior to a nation, control or crush, that nation. Only the black African can be Liberia from being crushed by Firestone; and that is—if Liberia will consent to be controlled by Firestone. Dr. Buell incidentally mentions the white African of the black African; sub-culos in venereal, and other diseases. He might have added: sex-immorality. The African in his own culture is singularly free from sex-diseases and sex-iirregularities. Now the whites of Africa and America, by their more less rapacious contacts with African countries, have brought in all of these evils. Over against this, the white has brought the doubtful "blessing" of his civilization: industrial drugery, forced labor, disintegration of family and tribal life, and other forms of disguised slavery. The missionaries of the church, the missionaries of churches, and industrial education. Until now it looks as if Africa is far more damned than blessed by contact with white people. Whether the small sowings of education, religion, and mechanical improvements will ultimately prove to be the greatest benefit to the near future. The logical ends of present attitudes point toward "race war."

Both Candidates Carrying Water This presidential race is so close that Candidate Herbert Hoover and Candidate Alfred Smith are seeking votes from every available source. Mr. Smith needs the solid south, but he desires also Negro voters in northern states. Mr. Hoover wants those same Negro votes, but to carry Virginia he must depend on the dry white democrats and in Alabama, he's depending on the notorious Negro hater, Senator Heflin and the Ku Klux. The result of this failure of normal party lines is that the candidates are carrying considerable water on both shoulders, in the effort to find some neutral position that will please everybody. Mr. Smith's Tammany crowd had to submit at Houston to separate seating for colored people in a cage enclosed by chicken wire. The Democratic National Committee issued a statement Monday that Governor Smith has appointed Negroes of New York only "to such jobs as they are given in the south, to witt porters, janitors, charwomen." Personally Mr. Smith doesn't like such tactics, but he has to put up with them or lose the south. Mr. Hoover is in the same dilemma. Upon his order, segregation of government clerks was abolished in the Department of Commerce. Just two weeks ago, however, a letter was sent out from the department to an influential lily-white woman in Virginia declaring that Mr. Hoover had not abolished segregation. Whether Mr. Smith will listen to the Southern democrats if elected president, and whether Mr. Hoover would permit the lily-whites and the Ku Klux to be his advisers is a matter of speculation. The fact remains that both of them are playing politics with the Negro vote.

Jacobson, white, writing in the current issue of "Medical Times" suggests a repeal of the 13th Amendment in the interest of public health and social progress. The new slave system is not for colored folk, but for the feeble minded of all racial groups. Just as the old slave was supposed to have been well housed? contented? fed well? kindly treated? free from veneral disease? alcholism? drug habits? and tuberculosis? the feeble minded slaves would be colonized, mated, reproduced intensively (they are more prolific than normal types) made happy with movies, tabloids, sensational preaching, canned music, gaudy titles and decorations and recruited first for the army in time of war. The only part of this proposal we take seriously is the mistaken theory that any kind of slavery is good for either slaves or slave holders. The United States tried it out for 250 years and ought to know. A census of house dogs and cats would probably show them not as "contented" as their owners would have us believe. Dr. Arthur C.

Changing Politics A lifelong white democrat who expects to vote for Hoover asked the AFRO-AMERICAN Thursday if it isn't true that the "big street" colored people" are for Hoover and the "little street" colored folk for Smith. He was surprised at the estimate of 30 to 40 percent of the Negro vote for Smith, and more startled still to learn that you can't tell how people will vote by what street they live on. Here is a life-long democrat turning republican because he's dry or anti Catholic or Ku Klux. At the same time some life-long colored republican is turning democrat because he is wet, pro-Catholic and Anti-Klan. A lifelong white democrat who expects to vote for Hoover asked the AFRO-AMERICAN Thursday if it isn't true that the "big street" colored people" are for Hoover and the "little street" colored folk for Smith. He was surprised at the estimate of 80 to 40 percent of the Negro vote for Smith, and more startled still to learn that you can't tell how people will vote by what street they live on. Here is a life-long democrat turning republican because he's dry or anti Catholic or Ku Klux. At the same time some life-long colored republican is turning democrat because he is wet, pro-Catholic and Anti-Klan. Smith appeals to many the ful colored folk as the champion of tolerance. Dr. James A. Wright, pastor of Talcott Street Congregational Church told the AFRO Tuesday:—"I shall vote for Smith, because I am eager to demonstrate that denominational lines do not matter. No people have suffered more than we have from prejudice and intolerance. We have never had a Catholic president because of his religion. We have never had colored people in certain offices because of their color. Election of Smith would be a great victory for national toleration. No matter who wins the presidency, it will be a great day in America when you can't tell a man and woman's politics by their color or their religion.

THE MAN OF MANY PENCILS This Hero Carries Five Pencils And A Pountain Pen But Can't Figure—Somerville "Audits" The Books—The Gent With Horn-Rimmed Glasses. (By G. LINCOLN SOMERVILLE) "Reading Makes A Ready Man; Writing Makes An Exact Man." The character that prompted me to write from a desk to a copier and in a business meeting one night last week, and I am quite sure you have met a like one if not the identical individual. Feminine he was a stranger to me, and my contact with him was incidental. I might say, but it can be said to his credit that he was a worker, for within ten minutes he had introductory notes to a book, and then taking me off my feet for the moment as he related his prowess as a ready reckoner and writer of no mean degree. The character that prompted me to write from this subject say opposite me in a business meeting one might last week, and I am quite sure he met a like one if not the identical individual. Personally he was a stranger to me, and my contact with him was incidental, I might say, but he was a very hard worker, for within ten minutes he had introduced himself and told me half of his life's history, taking me on my feet for the moment as he read me a ready recoverer and writer of no mean degree. He Looker The Part And he looked the part, too. He could have easily passed muster as an insurance agent, a colleague, a clerk, or even a newspaper reporter; and you know my imagination was working full time trying to satisfy myself that he was there to tell you that the meeting of when I earlier referred to was that of auditing the records of a certain secretary and treasurer, and while I knew I was not so bad at figures there, was the one that the certain brother was on the job. And he looked the part, too. He could have easy passed muster as an insurance agent, a courier, a clerk, or even a newspaper reporter; and you know my imagination was working full and trying to imagine the way, it might help just here to tell you that the meeting of when I earlier referred to was that of auditing the records of a certain secretary and treasurer, and while I knew I was not so bad at figures myself, there was the security that the certain brouser was on the The Other Members There were several other members of this committee present, but the others had no business tendencies as I could observe and were there to witness what was about to be done. You know that I have always believed that you believe can do as much as yourself and as well as you can, so I eyed him nemeirotem, wondering if I would be able to keep up as the figures leaped from one to four columns. There were several other members of this committee present, but the others had no business tendencies as I could observe and were there to witness what was about to be done. You know it is natural to "watch" the fellow whom you believe can do much of it, much of it, much of it. You know it would be able to keep up as the figures leaped from one to four columns. What He Wore But, gentle reader, let me tell you why my concussions of my subject's illness were so quicky and easily formed. "We work hard, and we combine that is well within the ream of simple uress—and showed to a splendid advantage under the glaring electric light," the upper left pocket of his coat responded hain concealed a green colored tounge pen and an orange-colored lead pen, both of which were held in place. On one we used a raspberry-colored location on said coat, was tasted a leather pouch in which was couched no less than five other pencils, apparently of the same color, carefully cared for with points up. Evidence enough to convict an innocent man, and how can you blame me for falling? But, gentle reader, let me tell you why my conclusions of my subject's illness were so quickly and easily formed. We were a big sergeant, a well-educated gentleman, a well within the realm of simple uxure—and that showed to a splendid advantage under the glaring electric lights. He left pocket of his cost resposed half concealed a green colored tountain jet and an orange-colored lead pencil, both of which were in place by clips. On the vest, near a spot he stained a leather pouch in which was couched no less than five other pencils, apparently of different grades and colors, but all run length, carefully made up. Evidence can to convert an innocent man, and how can you blame me for falling? Putting Down The Figures Being all set, we started on the arduous task of straightening out the books before us. But I was thinking fast, and suggested that the brother with the said pencils would take down the figures which he off, and that a re-reading of the and the other members of the committee quickly sequenced. Being all set, we started on the arduous task of straightening out the books before us. But I was not ready to do that, so I with the said pencil would take down the figures while I called them off, and what a relief when he and the other members of the committee quickly sequestered. Awaiting Results I called some mean figures while calling I was, and after the same brother said he had it all down from both books, the other part of the committee and I settled back comfortably so a woman came in and got out the enjoying themselves in smoking while I was wondering if it had gone up. I called some mean figures while calling I was, and after the same brother said he had it all down to him. I was not sure, and I settled back comfortably to await the result and mundings thereof, the former enjoying themselves in smoking while I was wondering if four had gone up. All Pencils Used The figures was busy, no question about that, and others than myself, watched. I was in the room, and even drawn his hounstain, which, unfortunately, was considerably dryer than the governor of a certain county, and there was nothing else to do—to learn if there was anything in treasury, and it all depended on the writing The figure was busy, no question about that, and others than myself watched him as he gave each penil a workout, and even drew a dress, considerably dryer than the governor of a certain large North Atlantic state. But we waited—there was nothing else to do—to learn if there was anything in treasury, and it all depended on the writing before us. Suddenly it occurred to me that our friend was in difficulty, so I offered to assist him, since it was getting late and all but one of us showed weariness. My help was accepted with a "I will do it!" as the figured sheets were spread before me. Suddenly it occurred to me that our friend was in it. I was getting ready, and it was getting late and all but one of us showed weariness. My help was accepted with a "I thank you," as the figure sheets were spread How The Figures Were Well, sir, you can't imagine my surprise to see that the figures were hardly desirable, and were not even placed the one beneath the other; and if you know my surprise, the other should do the work all over again myself, the clock then striking eleven. But I at it got, and digging up a half-length seed pencil that had done heavy duty in the AFRO mechanical department, I arrived at a sum total which I somehow got the committee to O. K., and lit out for home a wiser Well, sir, you can't imagine my surprise to see that the figures were hardly decipherable, and I don't know if you know my surprise, then draw my chagin at the thought of having to do the work all over again myself, the clock then to strike eleven. But I got it and I agged to be thinking in the AFRO mechanical department, I arrived at a sum total which I somehow got the committee to O. K., and lit out for home a wiser boy. A Mirage I had been stumped; I had seen an oasis that was a mirage; I had looked upon seven perfectly good pencils that could not be manipulated; appearances had deserved. Four man. I had never seen a chance; perhaps he has never gone to school, not even with the blue-black speller, but I ask you very confidentially, "don't you think he too many pencils they exhibit on vest or coat. Horn-Rimmed Then they the rimmed look out from behind horn-rimmed glasses because they bespeak dignity and importance. Any number of persons wear heavy rimmed glasses to impress their appearance, but bulkier than the less brain it requires to suspend them from the nose and ears. Harold Lloyd is making a fortune with his eye glasses, but look out you are not deceived, especially when you wear a handkerchief. It may be the real goods behind those rims, but don't forget that certain brother I was talking about. Dress And Skin The same is in dress and skin embellishments, a well-trained man or woman is admirable, but excess is to be regarded with suspicion. Things are not what they appear, but they are first at the dress and decorations and then at the inner person—the brains above the clothes. For my part, I prefer simplicity as a badge of intellectual and sense distinction, for assemble dure bindings, make a combination as rare as pure rye whisky. The Long Black Coat I have seen the ministry garbed in a long black coat, but you could imagine the necktie, the voice as one of logic, and yet the moment his exegesis of the text is under you, could realize your illusion; the clothes were all in keeping with those of a Spurgeon or all in all appearances were not what they seemed. A Mirage I had been stumped; I had seen an oasis that was a mirage; I had looked upon seven perfectly good pencils that could not be manipulated; appearances had deceived! Poor man. I don’t parade his ignorance, maybe he never had a chance; perhaps he has never gone to school, not even to school. He had said and said and said confidently, “don’t you think he had too many pencils for any one man?” Reflect and see if you have not met such an one, or others who are conspicuous for the number of pencils they exhibit or wear or coat. Then there are those who look out from behind horn-rimmed glasses because they bespeak dignity and importance. Any number of persons who wear glasses, especially parent, intelligence, and it is true that great statesmen, financiers, lawyers and educators gaze through specially ground lenses, but none of the aforementioned wear any heavier lenses. The pronounced the lens and the frame, the less brain it requires to suspend them from the nose and ears. Harold Lloyd is making a fortune with his glasses when the wearer repeatedly removes and polishes them with a handkerchief. It may be the real goods behind those rims, but don't forget that certain brother was talking about. The same is true in regard to dress and skin embellishments. A well dressed man or woman is admirable, but excess is to be regarded with suspicion. When the wearer replaces the apoise of it, you and it is not a bad rule to look twice—first at the dress and decorations and then at the inner person—the brains above the clothes. The wearer is not a person of intellectual and common sense distinction, for fine feathers and fine birds make a combination as rare as pure rye whisky. I have seen the ministry garbed in a long black coat, a reversed collar, a衣 of snowy whiteness to match the movement of the sun, a moment his exegesis of the text is under way, you could realize your illusion; the clothes were all in keeping with those of a Spurgeon or a monk, in all appearances were not what they seemed. Not What They Seem Life may appear a failure to you, but it can be successful. You can be successful, but you can be your portion; your occupation may loom as extremely difficult, when in reality it is easy. Things in general are not what you expect. Life may appear a failure to you, but it can be successful; defeat may appear certain, and yet victory can be your option. Your occupier now looks as extremely difficult when reality it is easy. Things in general are not what they appear to be. Take a look in the mirror, see if the round ruddy appearance of you looks like your parade is backed up by the goods; don't tell me, but if you are strong on race pride, you subscribe to Negro newspapers and support Negro business; I am not anything else. I will always know that things can be quite different from what they appear, and now you know the secret of why I always will carefully eye the man with many pennils.

To the Edition: According to the acceptance speeches made by the presidential candidates, I like that of Mr. Alfred E.

LOUIS C. LINDESEY, 1000 Euclid street, northwest, D. C. Old Lice Republican since 1873 Says He's Straddling the Fense and Doesn't Know Which Way to Jump What Perry Howard Told Him. To the Editor: As an politician, I have been an active republican voter since 1873. Down in Mississippi, I followed the leadership of the old ex-Congressman, John R. Lynch, the ex-Semester B. K. Bruce, and the lamented James Hill, and last, the leader of the party. While we are 50 or 75 per cent more intelligent today than we were in the days of Lynch, Bruce and Hill, it seems to me that we are 40 years old. We are not the same person and I believe like Mr. J. Finley Wilson, that it is high time to call a halt, and let us see where we are drifting. I have been republican since 1873, but to-day, I am a straddler of the fence; I am a fence, which side of the fence is the safest to get off on. Just a few words on our lily white fights. Just let me tell you what I saw—not what I heard someone say, or what I knew. But what I saw with the Perry Howard faction, with the Perry Howard faction. When these contest cases came up, Mr. Howard, our national committeeman, and Mrs. Mary Booze, the national committeeman, voted for the seating Texas lily whites, and for the Florida lily whites. I said nothing until they voted for Mr. Kuntz, against Walter Cohen. I then went to my friend, P. W. Howard and said, "My God, P. W. what he said." He wrote, "Brother Jackson, I had to do that, to save my own scalp." B. W. JACKSON. 82 R. street, northwest, Washington, D. C. Washington Reader Thinks Southerners Err Forming Smith Clubs. Stay in the party, she says. To the Editor: Newspapers say that Negroes in Georgia newspapers and several other states are forming Smith Clubs. Dr J. M. Robinson, of Little Rock, president of a club, is reported as saying, "we feel that we have discharged our obligation to pay the pay of new voters to vote for a Democrat. They at least admit an obligation. They retain reason enough to remember that the republican party came into existence with human beings. We same obligation that we democratic party born to keep them slaves and not succeeding—to keep them down. Do they hope to put this party under obligation? Did not Bishop Walters, Monroe Trotter and others hope the same? Did they succeed? Newspaper reports say that Negroes in Georgia, Arkansas and several other states are forming Smith Clubs, Dr. J. M. Robinson, of Little Rock, Arkansas, to "we feel that we have discharged our obligations to the Reepublican party and are now free to vote for a Democrat. They at least admit an obligation. They retain reason enough to reconsider their position, and their existence to make them human beings, at the same time forgetting that the democratic party was born to keep them slaves and not succeeding—to keep them down. Do they hope to out this party under obligation and to Bishop Walters, Monroe Trotten and many others hope the same? Did they succeed? While the one party has not been consistent in doing that it should for us, the other has been very consistent in seeing the party unchallenged, unchallenged and kept ignorant. Most of the Negroes of the North have come from the South. They lived under these blighting conditions and have run away from them. Shadow of the underclerk Douglass! witness a Negro club in Georgia. What would Johnbush say? Governor Smith, of New York, does not know the A. B. S.'s of democracy of the backwoods of New York, where justice is its religion. The leopard cannot change its spots, neither can a serpent change its naked body, neither can a dragon change its capitals of the democratic party cannot change, neither can the principals of the republican party change. Men may change, but truth and right will only leave us out, but principles will bring us in. Governor Smith, of New York, does not know the A. B. C.'s of democracy of the backwoods of the South. Ignorant fear of the Negro and inexperienced with its spots, neither can a serenct change its nature. It is bound to sting. But just as the principals of the democratic party cannot change, neither can the principals of the republican party cannot change, but truth and right never. Platforms may leave us out, but principles will bring us in. The Negro woman has suffered more than all. Great and deep has been her humiliation. She has always been a slave to the party that always puts state's rights ahead of the Constitution. I believe she can be trusted to remember that if the Eighteenth Amendment can be nullified, the Fifteenth. May she arise in her might in November, march to the polls, deciding for the good of her country and children to fight it out within the republican party. MARIAN B. DUTLER. 752 T. street, Washington, D. C. To The Editor: We have Democrats Yell H. G. O. P. Gets The Klu Klan vote? Just why are the Democrats hollowing Wolf about the Republican party getting a few of the Ku Klu Klan votes? It is a well known fact that the Ku Klu Klan lutenants, with hat and costs off working over-time, for this same vote. How Come? Mr. Rusco says good salesmanhip will win. Without having something to offer in business, having something to offer in business What is offered the Ku Klu Klan? Leaving out booze and religion, the compromise could be only Negro or Jew. I might add also, that at the result hinged upon the electoral vote of California—had one of these Ku Klu Klan states, namely, Texas or Georgia, been against him, the Democratic press is not willing to admit the Ku Klu Klan elected Wilson, they should stop wild-catting the public, go way back and sit down. JAMES H. GREEN. SIMPLE THOUGHTS The worm crawling on the ground beneath your set of hat can notice. But when transformed into a butterfly and head you admire it. Had you killed the worm, you would have missed the beautiful butterfly. The worm crawling on the ground beneath your feet is hardly noticed. But when transformed into a butterfly and soars above your head, you admire it. Had you killed the worm, you would have missed the beautiful butterfly. ARCHLE R. SMITH. Plenty of men wearing knickers and other golf trade marks, but no golfers. But, as one young fellow said, "We'll work to that pretty soon." Lunch counters in Lexington Market crowded with our friends, who are all from their group. But then, we have no other place to eat down town. "That's gold in them that hills," said the old prospector of the 49's He went after it with pick and shovel. There's money in each of the shops in the brick stock Lurens avenue, the Green Fremont avenue and Carey street. But the race business stands aside and lets others do. Crowds of sleepy-eyed brethren around the loud speaker of a tin horn victoria, as it twangs out a cornfield blues, or a meaning example of home gospel. What's more, they buy 'em.

"Al" Served Mass (From The New York Times) A friend yesterday told this incident of Governor Smith: "The Godfather was here, and he rests at Absecon, N. J. He and a friend drove to a small Catholic church to attend early Mass. It was a week day and here was only a few people in the tiny house of worship. The boy who was to have assisted the priest in celebrating the Mass was to assist the priest in the Mass to begin. The priest came out and from the sanctuary looked over the congregation. He said nothing, but it was evident he wanted a 'boy to assist' in Mass. The priest stepped behind the sanctuary rail,质检ed, and took the place of the tardy alter boy. The visitor knew the priest had a clear voice came each of the Latin responses, showing one perfectly familiar with the task he was performing. The Mass over, he went to the pastor's body of the church and joined his friend. The congregation passed out. The friends slipped behind, went into the pastor's little ante-room and remarked, "Father, do you know who was served your Mass, just now?" "No. but whoever he was he did it very well," replied the young child. "That was the Governor of the Empire State," replied the layman. "Go on, go on, my friend, don't be 'rasing' me like that," responded the priest. It was Governor Smith. When his friend tried to prate when he was in danger, the incident off as a matter of course. Governor Smith served as an altar manager at James Church in Oliver, street when he was prate. D. C. School Principal For Socialists (From N. Y. World.)

Most people like lots of personalities, and I have passed away a few hours with that person who is always and forever with you and about you. You know the most of us get your personalities, but us just what they think of our personalities and actions, but in most cases those same folks are purity near to right. I don't know that you have ever, but he has my position to sit down for hours at a time, in my own presence, trying to find out just why somebody has not slammed the daylights out of me for some of my quarrels. I know that while I am in this period of intraspection that the rest of the world is wondering where I am, and something like 97 per cent. of them hoping that fate has laid a claim on one and saved them the trouble. Occasionally I would gaze into the mirrow and wonder what mother meant when she called me for daring when she called mother was but I question her judgement, that is so far as I was concerned. The more I gaze at the map before me, the more I wondered if my friends had trained from laughter while talking to me. The mirror was silent but it showed me up to a disadvantage. And as I turned away from the mirror, I noticed that the glass had lied, I found out a while later that I was not the freshest egg in the lot my any means, and I was sorry I had called a man who had been reminded of the time he caught a pole cat and thought it was a squirrel. I found out that I had been broadcasting a lot of gloom, a bit of stale jokes, a not small heap of free advice and ever so much bombast that were responsible for folks dodging me. And I wondered why I was so long finding out that I was a big cheese, and of the Limber brand at that. But it helped me. Now I know why my "friends" told one of me how to find a company was accepted with reservations. If you want the truth, unadulterated, and with proof a plenty, go to your room an dnest it for yourself a few hours. I did—UNCLE JOE.

DAY BY DAY The Price Of Soudanese Wives The girls of Sudan may not have all the modern spirit and assertiveness of her European sister, but they have a more direct way of pressing what they have to make for instance, a surprise dinner when the custom of having the groom bring along 15 cows before the knot was tied, became a question of discussion and young swains tried to reduce the num- No, siree, the belles of the Sud- dah, had a word to say. "What, we go for cheaper than our mothers?" they protested when government officials thought five or ten cows enough for the bride groom to get together. It may seem what barbarity that Soudain young men must buy their wives from the parent. Of course, in the Soudan, the price they pay in cows or goats is not all. They are rather rigorous toiling over by the parent, and to certain physical labor the male must show. Nature's provision of selection is about the same the world over. Perhaps in highly civilized sections we don't call it buying, we neatly the sum up the costs, but the same to keep the species at certain standards. Over in Sudan it is the strong- and best youth which can acquire fifteen cows. Over here in America it is the best and strongest which make and business. The principal is the same, and you can't blame the Sunadese girl for not wanting to let down the bars. At least she will not have a lazy failure of life for if she tried that they be kind of men who weed and yonn her, mother. Making Progams For Fraternal Organizations A partial study and analysis of the outstanding fraternal, civic and religious national meetings held so far during the year reveals some interesting newspaper reports give a total delegate and out-of-town attendance at 15 large gatherings this year at 96,500. From a total delegate and out-of-town delegates leaving Baltimore to a number of these gatherings it is estimated that each one spent on an average of $75 on railroad tickets, board and meals. A little figuring will show that during the year, not counting the various state meetings, the group spent the stipend sums of $10,000 and $10,000 and $10,000 AND TWENTY-TREE THOUSANDS, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS in attendance upon these national bodies. It might make intriguing mediation for Negro economists and students of sociology. Efforts of such organizations as the Eflox, for instance, to put pressure on the program of activities, are interesting; but the most casual study of the subject convinces one that the program of no fraternal organization is in place with the progress of the group. It must also be remembered that this annual expenditure is but a small part of the total budget in the tills of fraternal organizations and that with dues, local turnouts, collations, another seven millions might easily be added to the annual bill of the American Nero. With this tremendous sum of money as a basis some great fraternal leader might easily construct a business and economic enterprise that would realize the living conditions of the masses who belong to these lodges. Less than $7,237,500 which is the yearly expenditure of the land alone, laid the foundation for one of the greatest of our American railroad property; it is more than the Firestone paid for a car it would buy enough virgin land to build a city and build enough factories to provide future work for 25,000 men and women, with the serious consideration of some young man or woman now looking for a life career. It may seem a gigantic task to change the present wasteful and selfish programs of the men and women, singlehanded, have done bigger things than this in this world. The Republican Threat in N. C. Political history is about to repeat itself down in North Carolina, where the state being counted in the Republican column in November is not half as interesting as the deepest changes in race relations it has made. Some 30 old years ago that state went Republican under pretty nearly the same conditions as it did in the past, back into the Democratic old ushered in a period of racial discrimination and political corruption which so lowered its moral value that it has not yet recovered. While no one believes that enough Democrats will turn Republican, the Presidential vote, the way they do things down there makes it altogether possible that when they are elected there will be a Republican maker. If the boiling of Senator Simmons is sincere, and it seems so, the machine which he controls will be the greatest advantage. But in the shuffle there is a bare possibility that the racial good will and educational advantages which have been used to mobilize citizens for the last ten years, may bring about political alignments in which the race group may gain important advantages politically. The standard white and the work of younger whites and the work of able race leaders in that state should bring about a situation where white and colored could join politically in Democratic or Republican colors. "Curiosity Killed Cat" Most people have as much curiosity as they do love of asking questions about anything novel or unusual what are their public curiosity call forth the greatest variety of possible and impossible questions imaginable. A good example of how curiosity can be found in the case of a New Yorker who opened a new restaurant. The proprietor of this particular restaurant encouraged because he did not have many trans. But not to be undone, he bought the largest goldfish bowl he knew with wine and placed it in his window and bowl he placed this placard: "Invisible fish from Dio de Janetro." The curious became well known. In fact the police frequently had to drive away the thousands who gathered before the window to see the invisible fish. One of the men who visited the glass ever tapped on the glass and shook "Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom expressed in their proverb that they are in a way from the notion that they are in an inferior and barbaric state. In more than one sense, we Americans are less civilized and more barbaric than they." C. J.

Democratic party has neither encouraged nor dealt fairly with Negroes in New Jersey, said Attorney Queen. "When J. Harry Moore our present Governor was inaugurated, we was inaugurated Negroes who had supported him called at the capitol to discuss recognition for their group. The governor informed them that no precedent exist for Negroes to outstanding positions. He did promise to appoint a colored physician on the state board of health, but even that promise was not. The Democratic party in New Jersey reflects the Democratic party in the South. Despite the plentitude of opportunities Negroes have the importation of workers who do not live in the state and are unable to deliver on their promises to Democratic bosses, New Jersey is safe for the Republicans insofar as the colored vote is concern- "ALL FOR AL" IS PHILLY SLOGAN PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — "ALL FOR AL" a slogan which is coined by politicians here for campaign use.

WET SCHOOL DEBATERS WIN AT SEASHORE Arguing that 18th amendment is constitutionally unsound and organically inconsistent with other constitutional amendments, that prohibition cannot be enforced without the support of public sentiment, and that it is understated in our society, affirmative speakers of Union University last night triumphed over a team from Howard University, September 1. The debate took place in the Bangs avenue school, under the auspices of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, of ww. W. J. Knox, B. A. Jackson, and B. Clarke, '28 of Union University. Speakers for the negative were M. B. Oldham, '31, W. S. Johnson, '28, and W. Upperman, '28, of Howard University. The judges were Commissioner Harry B. White Asbury Park, John W. Knox, Neptune board of education, O. J. Moulton, superintendent of schools of Neptune township. Defend Prohibition The negative based its defense of prohibition on the arguments that the true prohibition is not to abolish liquor, which will forever be impossibly weakened in general the ill effects of its sale and consumption; that prohibition has put the saloon out of business and that seven and a half years is insufficient for any reform of such significance to get around. "Reforms are not brought about in a day," concluded Upperman, pointing back to the terrors and bloodshed of the protestant Reformation and the persecution that the accusation that prohibition was demoralizing our society, he declared. "I will read figures to show that there is a tremendous increase in our population and in attendance at telephone, radios, automobiles—are those the signs of a demoralized social order?"

All newspaper men are bums—at heart! Zz-zz, boom, bang! Don't blame us, we didn't make that statement—a certain gentleman, who, we know, is a newspaper man. We don't qualify his statement, we believe he did say that all 'good newspapermen are bums at heart.' We'd like to know what about good newspaper girls? We don't know. We don't know. We must be a natural born bum—er, unh—newspaperman, for he has risen from the ranks. He's no longer a hobo, but is now a to the man-born vagabond. The vagabond, in our estimation, is the aristocrat of bumdum, home or fortune can place you there, but nothing takes you out of that clan.

CHILTON AND THOMAS LOCK, BROOK CLOCK REGAL SHOW CHICAGO—After Retreva Hughes has been the captain of New York's Davis' "Sidewalks of New York," boys had danced and a host of others had tried to stop the Regal show, Carl Chilton and Maceo Thomas "folded it up and put it in their pocket," the bill this week, or in the past few weeks, has been able to wake up the fans as did the dancing of this dainty little team. Pete Nugent and "Peaches" put on some by-the-word-wow, the winning Marion Jones, winner of last week's future star night contest, put over a solo, acting as her own accompanist to good hands. Emmerson and Baldwin, jugglers, proved quite a nontraditional pair. Fats, Robbins and "Garbage," got its usual number of laughs. A special arrangement of "Songs of Long Ago," by Dave Peyton, and the Regal Symphonic, and Dinorah, inning Miss Hughes, was well received. The "Ten Regal Steppers," are working hard, and were especially good in their interpretation of "Crazy Rythm. MUSICIANS LET OUT AT METROPOLITAN CHICAGO—Erske Tate and his music masters, and Lillian Reid, consolist, have been let out by the Chicago Metropolitan Opera, operators of the Metropolitan, Vendome, Owl and Pickford theatres, following a demand for higher wages at the expiration of their contract. Musicians were let out at the other time, and the corporation announces that it is ready to take them back at their old rates, but will under no condition, consider the raise as it will make the public "the goat," because it seems lost without its orchestra, the pictures fall flat, and the crowds are dwindling. There is much talk of installing the now popular Vipathone and Moviatone, to offset these troubles. The smile of Matt Taylor, however, seems to say, "I'm so glad troubles won't last always."

LLEWELLYN WILSON September marks the beginning of the musical season her about and rehearses with musicians have set themselves to work on their plans for the coming season. Musicians of toay plan their work on a twelve-month basis. During the heated summer term they manage to combine recreation and study. They also engage by changing the scope of one's activities; sometimes it is successfully done by changing the type of activity which engages one's attention during the cooler portion of the year. Prof. Toomey Back Prof. Elworth Back who for a number of years has been prominently identified with worth-while musical enterprises in this city, has very recently returned to this city from Cape May, New Jersey, where he as had a very successful summer season, his musical offerings being been enthusiastically received. . . . Notwithstanding the fact that we have within our midst quite a number of musicians who depend solely upon their emotions for their musical interpretation, discarding technique to the four winds and utterly disregarding reputable composers' intentions and directions both as indicated and implied, yet many of our younger musicians are earnest and themselves of the study of the higher and theoretical branches of music. Music For The Young This is indeed a very hopeful sign. For those in music education, including element, in musical expression, the intellectual element is paramount in the conception, development and interpretation of musical ideas. A few years ago, there were very few race students who thought it necessary to worry themselves about harmony, to learn about coloring objects. But today a number of our children are delign into the mysteries of composition and though none of the works of these progressive "young folk give any evidence to show cause" works by Gass, Coleridge, Coloridge or Dett should be immediately consigned to the musical scrap pile, yet they show promise. Carter's Composition Howard B. Carter, a teacher in one of the local junior high schools has done some compositions that have real musical merit. At the closing exercises of The Coppin Normal School, Miss Loyse Anderson, another local teacher was written a song that was musical and appealing. The music used at the Class Day Exercises at the Douglass Senior Hi was entirely the work of the students. Miss Eydythe Cardoza composed and harmonized for mixed voices a splendid song which was used as an ane, while Mark O. M. E. Church anganist, and M. E. Church the Regent Theatre, composed for mixed voices and orchestra an excellent class song. Municipal Band The work of the Municipal Band, under the able leadership of one Charles Harris and a credit to the colored citizenry of Baltimore and despite the efforts of two or three "perennial insurgents" the work of the band has been above par. Bailie Singers. The WAL JIBL Singers, under the management of Clarence Johnson, are still "holding down" or "holding up" (just as you like) our group in the local field of radio activities. Mrs. McAbee We earnestly hope that Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbee will find time to give Baltimore at least one concert during the coming season, despite the demands made upon her in the field of public school music, by her private pupils and by her out-of-town engagements. free milk station and baby clinic, the luncheon that is given in February and the Flower Mart in May.

A Loving Husband's Tribute To A Loving Wife In the year of 1887, the 22nd day of July was marked by the City of Washington, D. C. from a little city, Charleston, S. C. to prepare myself for the fall term of Howard University to pursue my studies for the university. I was struck by the joy with $35.00 in my pocket. I came to work my way through school. I. being a mechanic (plasterer and bricklayer), found myself seeking the association with a character that was Mr. Edward Johnson, of 304 V. street, then known as Wilson street. Mr. Johnson, the one whom I became interested and with whom I was impressed was Rosetta Anna, better known as Rosa Johnson. Rosa had just left the school, and was appointed to teach Mathematics in the eighth grade of the John F. Cook. In the meantime, she was baptised church on Pomroy street. One of my schoolmates, who was the superintendent, requested me to assist them on Sunny Island, and did. To my surprise I found Rosa teaching and yet not professing Christ. We insisted on those who taught Sunny Island, and few weeks she gave her heart to the Lord and was truly converted with a few others. We had a happy time testifying and interpreting the Bible When I finished school in 1891, I asked her to be my wife. After we got the college in 1893, she joined in Holy wedlock and now we have labored over thirty-five years in the vineyard of the Lord. Ten children were the results of our efforts in Maryland (Pocomoke City) to the most extreme heights (Oakland) sometimes a plenty in the pantry and many in the kitchen to speak. in the barrel, but Rosa never murmured. Not once do I remember her saying she wanted to return to her home where her food and raiment, but was willing to suffer with her husband in the work of the ministry. She was so sweet and pleasant. Her disposition was shaped and molded by the word of God and fear of weakening my faith in God. she held her peace and often said: "I am up to it." A most lovable character was the woman God gave me, for I am assured if it were not for Rosa, my quickest friend, she would upset me in the years ago. We were united in marriage over thirty-five years and that sweet character never scolded me once. She was a bright, intelligent, sober, congenial woman. She now sleeps the sleep of death. Death has robbed me of a most loving wife, who has added her husband in all of his work. I had hoped that we would have had the pleasure of visiting together our former wife, and some of our hardships, and of comparing them with our present condition. Rosa lingered six years, and she visited her former wife, seven years, never heard her murmur once against her afflictions, but with her Bible, books and magazines the children praised her, and the praise of God, firmly believing that all things work together for good of those who love the Lord. Her four children devoted so well to her that anyone any call or motion. They nursed her to her grave and I often pray that her sweet deportment and Christian fortitude might fall on the children and Yes, the corner-stone has left my home. O. H. Let me bless. Let thy blessing rest on us that we may be kind, sweet, patient, available as this corner of mine. Simple services were conducted from Grace A. M. E. Church by Rev. J. C. McEady, a schoolmate and lifelong friend. She was laid to rest in the family lot, where sleeps three of her daughters, Jocelyn, Sadie and Berta, who await the coming of the loved ones. JAMES M.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, 15, 1928 DEAD METHODIST BISHOP TRUE RACE FRIEND Bishop Hartzell Went To Africa When Dr. Bowen Hesitated HE FOUNDED MEHARRY AND GAMMON SEMINARY Paster Ames M. E. Church, Liberian Consul-General, Former U. S. Minister to Liberia The news of the tragic death of Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, the veteran humanitarian, philanthropist, and preacher of the twentieth century, fell with a harrowing thump upon the ear of Christendom on the 6th of September. June 1 this year, on his eighty-seventh birthday anniversary, two men approached him at his home and requested the use of an automobile tire pump. He made them step into his house and laid them on a table located his hospitality. They cut the telephone wire, bound his throat with strands of wire, robbed him of $400,000. When unable to locate more money. They then felled him and fled when his housekeeper, through the use of another telephone summoned aid. Salvationals never have been apprehended. The Bishop never recovered from the attack. He was taken to a hospital, the nurse and remained bedridden his entire life due to his need. No man of his time was better known, loved, and admired through his work. Christian was his man. His man was a household word throughout the length and breadth of this land, but most especially in the manhood among the millions of freed men, teaching and organizing them for Christian service and citizenship. He came to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1870 as pastor of the Saint Charles Avenue M. E. Church, a work congregation that was founded by Louisiana Annual Conference, the majority of whom were members of the newly emancipated African-American community. He saw the need of education and racial uplift for the black man in his new relation to the body politic; his sympathy for the poor; their needs, and he became their outspoken advocate in church and state. The General Church recognized in the church and traditional relationship for the work so much-needed, and elevated him to the presiding eldership of the New Orleans District, a position he held for a closer contact with his black brethren. Gathered Fathers He gathered around him the fathers of the late Alexander Priestley, the foster father of the late Bishop Alexander Priestley Camphor. Steven Duncan, Scott Chinp Pierre Landry, who named him the pastor, Bill Forest, Samuel Orsborne, Julius F. Marshall, and Emperor Williams, whose names are among the foremost pioneers of Methodism, the pastor, as well as invalued in its most inhuman form. All these men and many others were elevated to responsible positions in the church as presiding elders and members of the General Reference. Conference Secretary He served as secretary of the Louisiana Annual Conference for a quarter of a century until he took his place. New Orleans University, the southwestern Christian Advocate, the Flint Medical Center, the University of Louisiana, and the banks of the Bavou-teche, in proximity to the old oak, immortalized as the tree which furnished shade and wrote his famous Evanelline, creations of his enervy and master mind.

As secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, he was able for the educational development of the colored people of the South. He opened the way for Negroes to the society resulting in the election of the late Dr. M. C. B.

One Physician — A Town Which Is Raising Men Only For The City. By L. K. McMILLAN MANASSAS, Va. — Manassas, Virginia, is a town of one hundred Negro families, about one-fifth the total population, the main line of the Southern Railroad twenty-eight miles from Washington. The town is unusual in a few respects. Among others, the town has no aristocratic Virginia, but no aristocratic Virginia, and no political power has passed from the aristocrats into the hands of rank commoners but, in the mean while, aristocrats and descendants are still, and more than, from all indications they have never lived in Manassas. Colored Christians have only one church in Manassas; it is Baptist — wonderfully Active In Many Lines The people who are active in one thing are active in everything else. The chorister of the church is the head of the choir. When services were over he went to the grounds to prepare for the annual show, contestants were coming with their horses. The young musicians were also in the tickets. Some persons who seemed most intent on what the preacher was saying, in his sermon on the second coming of the dead, filled and electrified the orchestra at the public dance pavilion. The fact is that the women's club and the men's club of the church had the most everything that goes on in town—religious and otherwise. Something is lacking in the church life of the people of Manassas. The people of Manassas support of their church. They even raise money without any begging or noise. But something is needed. The preacher had his sermon written out; he seems to be energetic and all that; but something was lacking. On the other hand, the preacher had the sermon of the man who organized the church. a Reverend Mr. Williams: from his appearance he was a rank-under-committing the unparadonable sln of straightening his hair the present pastor does not tower above all his people, and most of his time in Washington baking cakes and loaves of brand. Two Schools There are two schools in Manasas for colored children, the one—Boy Scout—ported largely by northern gifts, Villard. Editor of the Nation Magazine, is on the trustee board; he was at the school for late years like most private northern-gift-supported schools for Negroes. this school has had hard going. It is practically private, in so far as the support through the school board is concerned.

CHURCH STRIKES BACK AT HIS CRITICS Would Not Follow Apologists, He Says, Even At Request Of Hoover HE REITERATES CAUSE OF COMMITTEE BOLT Those In Front Of The Voters Are Not Themselves Voters, He Says WASHINGTON, D. C.—Breaking the political rule of his life, Robt. R. Church replied this week to attacks on him carried in last weeks papers following his refusal to serve on the National Republican Campaign Committee. In a prepared statement Church says: I have seen the article, written I am informed by D. McCormick that kind familiar to all who know the fine African hand of its industrious but elusive author, who has been buried from behind, the cont-tails of protectors "What Dr. Scott may think of me or of you, the hand-wrought 'committee' now directing and distressing Mr. Hoover's cause is without importance. I have made an effort to advance our lines on the political field, and I have made an effort to advance through decision by the people. Dr. Scott never held an office at all, and such positions as he has filled came from the man capable to turn a deaf ear so his cry. "Whether Dr. Scott continues to operate Howard University or run economic receptions as Minister to Haiti, is not the slightest concern of the situation is exactly my interest in Mr. Hoover as our candidate and in the Republican party whose nomination I was not off of the committee, not because I had been refused a leadership, for which no one has said so, nor which no man bestow upon another) but because I could not in conscience participate and presidents.

There is not a colored corporate limits. When the weather is clear and ground is dry the children do not have to bog down with pens though it rains here in Manassas about as often as it does not. But poor whites are in power in and out of the state. Race Relations The race relations in Manassas are "good". The power of whites is unquestioned; the Negroes, exercise good humor and patience those who don't "kent in their place" — and no trouble arises. The people have good homes: most of them own their homes. They are well-off. As elsewhere cars are quite common now. It is also remarkable how much the average small, town man travels. The effect upon intelligence, experience and outlook is also re-able. The father and family live in Washington, the daughter teaches in Cincinnati; they were visiting the school in New York, where they lived with her husband to see old friends again; an old man with his new bride — from new home in Washington, the school about old days and his sorrow and pleasure quickening old memories; these are only a few of the many examples. They simply inhabit the school in the sad, happy industry of making men for the city. Those who remain go slowly about their work from day to day; one of them is Negro, but in practice a physician for Manassas; two pressing club operators, a shoe maker and cobbler, a few clowns, persons in the government in Washington.

Sunday when the Black Sox and Cum Posey's Homestead Grays hook up in the first two games of a five game series that propels to be the hotest baseball attraction Baltimore has witnessed this week. The Grays are to come here direct from a series with Ed Bolden's Hilldale clan, and the locals are counting on finding the Pittsburghers a little weak from that campaign. The Sox have to take the Black Joe" Williams, Streeter, Owens and Lefty Williams. The Grays have backed their back-stopping roster by the addition of Calderon who will assist "Rags" Roberts and Britt. of the Posseymen will be Jap Washington at first, Dihigo, in all probability, at the second station, Beckwith at short, and Lewis holding down the hot corner. Their outfield will most likely consist of "Jelly" Gardner, who jumped the Chicago American Giants in midseason to come to the Posse. The Grays will be the Black Sox certainly don't look bad—on paper, at least, Yokley, Hayes, Hubbard and Force should be able to saddle the bustin' brons from the Keystone State, the their task is not one to be the envy of many other moundmen in the league. The Posseymen will have to cause them any real worry, aloft the rest of the Posse clan represents no slouch when it comes to whacking out the old apple. Of course it must be admitted that the visitors will have an edge on it when it comes to the infield position. Beckwith will have it all over any man the Sox can place at short stoy and it is likely that Jap Washington if he is in form, will have an edge on the veteran Manager, Ben Taylor. If this refers, of course to holding and base runners, it will be the Sox can place in it comes to handing the willow, "Babe Ruth" Wilson and Jeffries or Lindsey would hold their own with any of the gang. Of course, with Jackson out of the Sox innear, the shifts made necessary have taken away from the strength it had at the beginning of the season. In the outer garden it appears that the Black Sox have the best of the bargain. Holloway, Washington, and Dixon are in no danger of having their lights dimmed up anything the Poor Man's Hitters, and "Rap" Dixon, without question, has the best arm of any player in race baseball today. "Jelly" Gardner no longer is a terror. The greatest worry Ben Taylor will have in having ALL of his games there is an IMPORTANT thing. Following the two games here two are to be played in Pittsburgh, with the fifth game probably being played on neutral territory. In considering the strength of the teams it must be remembered that the Black Sox have the half century mark with his home runs, they have not been running up against as consistently hard opposition as the Black Sox and Hilldale have. Most of the clubs they have played have been small town organizations. WITH PARDONABLE PRIDE, or words to that effect, we invite you to draw up to the old desk here and look over a letter we received this week from Edgar Brown, ruler of the 1928 national tennis tour- treat the students. Perhaps you were thinking after all it's all wrong to think of fifty as the death knell of youth, ambition and achievement. "Satch and Thompson had no alibis," but Brown was technical, if you must know it. "You are all right and where did you get all the background? The Nick Altrick stuff really reacts my boy Stallworth, and ... guesses at age, all incorrect." I noted too, the very unusual point made of ages on the front page, and second, no other reporter conveyed the picture nearly so well—because the students of success has crowned their efforts at that age. Tilden is now thirty-five and going back. I felt that was in your sub-conscious mind, yet it was the reporter instinct to stress the difference... the old rascals machinations... her parenting... the one I am tempted to go on. By the way, where did you get all the pictures? Peggy kept up the AFRO standard too—the 'social register of the U. S. A.' was unique. "I noted too the news story of the Tennis Fan's In Collision, why a few more of our publishers might not pursue the modern scientific style of journalism. Perhaps the inculcating of such ideas in the minds of our youth while at play on the courts will bear fruit, Lost Opportunity," the current editorial, was timely and pungent and a real story in the Magazine Section as well as the other world news items. "And I almost overlooked the boxed 'Ball Boy Jinx.' How well I recall it. More power to you and the great organization of which you are such a telling member," he recalled. "I am reminded the fact that Mr. Howard of the Scripps-Howard Syndicate and newspaper chain, was once a sports editor, and a good one too. "You have added immeasurably to the progress of the great game of tennis, and the great promise of humble but treasured memories of official as well as personal contact with both you and Mr. Murphy over the years. May I have the honor to many times serve you both with 'love games' in life. F. S. You have made a tournament over again and present me with a bunch of tennis, and so we have been twice blessed." And all we can say is "Thanks, Edgar." G BALTIMORE SWIMMERS winning a meet from the Washington natators last Saturday, thru their coach Alan Watty, donated the last event on the program to the capitol folks by the toss of a coin. This in itself was uncalled for, because it was a violation of established rules. Three points as second place winner (the lowest they could get in a two-team race) would have put the Baltimore team in front by five points, and Washington by getting all eight points, put them by one point. As it happened Washington swimmers were to represent two clubs, the Francis and the Community but for some reason all capitol swimmers scored points for the Francis Pools. Was that not enough indication of something decomposed in the aid of the Danes? It is not our aim to ensure Coach Watty, as it evident that he "measured well," but in these days of competition it is best to follow the rules. FOOTBALL Lincoln University Versus A. & T. College C.

DRUID LAUNDRY 1634 DRUID HILL AVENUE MADISON 1664 CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Pullman porters' fight caused a slight flare up here last week, after the Industrial Conference of the American Negro under auspices of the Catholic Conference on Industrial Problems of the United States, organizations of the Federated Catholics of America and when Charles A. Hunt read a carefully prepared paper on his 32 years experience in the service of the Pullman porters' paper was read just after M. P. Webster, the militant leader of the mid-western Sleeping Car Porters, choked up Sleeping Car Porters, Chicago, hud spoken, describing the history of the Pullman Porters' fight for fair prices and explaining the following questions: First: Do Pullman porters prefer that tips he abolished because they are not as large as they used to be; Second: Had the effort of the American public to discourage tipping by placing signs on the doors of the best hotels and restaurants affected the tips customarily received by porters? Because these questions are a common subject, we suggest by another white women that travelers be asked to pay an additional $100 to form a part of the porter's salary, but objection was made to this suggestion because the porter would no right to be asked to pay half the salary of the porter when The Pullman Company is one of the richest companies. Defied Pullman Co. Two colored male delegates then arose in defense of the colored porter, the colored porter should let well enough alone, adding that there are few Negroes able to pay as much as the Pullman porters'. The sessions of the conference were held in the auditorium of Trinity Catholic Church. Dr. Thomas W. Gurner presided over the well-balanced presidents during the three sessions.

Propaganda regarding Governor Smith's attitude toward Negroes, however, is being used in the South by anti-Semitic Democrats, who are opposed to him because of his religion and his stand on the prohibition quest. Social Equality The white South is being told that if Smith is elected, Negroes will appoint a lieutenant to the Senate. The old bugaboo of social equality is also being raised by white southerners, and to make it more relevant in relations in New York City are cited as an example of what may be expected generally if Smith should be ordered to offset this propaganda. the Democratic National Committee boldly came out against Washington office denying that Governor Smith had ever had a colored stenographer.

Over the past several years, approximately 5,588,300 Negroes of voting age in the United States. A majority of them are in the South where disfranchisement is practiced, however, a number in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee determine in a close election.

Smith's Hotel THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER. 15. 1923 The Press Talks The "Courier" Tumbles The learned Pittsburgh Courier is out for Hoover and Curtis. What aachieves has passed away leaving it as rock-ribbed in G. O. P. faith as in 1924 when it came out for Coolidge and it has passed away recently. The Courier has been so independent that it leased toward Al Smith. "The days are past" now. Listen to it. George and Glass ought to be allowed to do, to have the improved condition we seek in this country. If, on the other hand, they awake to find themselves disappointed and ill-fated, we have the improved Negroes to spare a few who desire to wander off to the party the bloodiest of them. If we want to see them in that way, we should be willing to see them go. One thing we remember! Hoover and Glass will be without a shadow of doubt. Those who want to wander for some new experiences will have four years to find a place of safety. We predict and promise that there will be more room in the Republican party for those who remain politically liberal, have its day. "Patrick Henry said, 'Give me liberty or give me Death.' He got it." (The best authorities today declare Patrick Henry did not make the remarkable decision to the ultra-conservative East Tennessean "News" jumps on Kelly Miller because of his recent article on Finley. Dean Kelly patted Finley on the back. The "News" thinks he should have used a brickbat. Says the Carrying Water On Both Shoulders "The attitude of certain of the most outstanding leaders of the racial group exhibited by Hoover and his fine qualities, on the one hand, and applaud certain leaders of the group because of their retusal to hunk up and to show their strength, which has been selected to conduct the campaign among the Negroes of the United States, on the other, is exceedingly strong, for example, there's Kelly Miller, one of the most forceful and capable leaders among us. In an article released to the race press week we read that the race president Wilson declined a position on the Hawkins-Scott committee, and almost in the same breath he urges the race president to take a more aggressive ticket. The situation savors of "carrying water on both shoulders", and a man of Dr. Miller's experience should be expected to impossible to "trop with the hounds and run with the hare". "Lines are going to be drawn more taut in this campaign than in any other, and we are witnessed in many years. Those who are not for us are certainly against us and there is positively no middle ground. Defections From G. O. Y. Hoover may not be worried the cold shoulder from a real leader, the real leaders says the Phila. "Public Journal." When one white man leaves the party he carries himself but "whenever it is announced that some prominent Negro has left the Elephant for the Donkey, it means that the Democrats have gained whatever number of votes the insurgent is able to carry with him. This is a serious condition which ought to receive most serious consideration from the Hoover managers. When we recall that such influential colored Republicans as Bishon Reverdy Ransom and Bishop Wallis, William H. Lewis, Robert J. Nelson, Neval H. Thomas and others will support Governor Al Smith it is time to sit up and take notice. Neval H. Thomas, the fiery opponent of Segregation, the problem which just now most vitally concerns the Negro, will do the Republican party more harm and corral more Negro votes. Smith, more so perhaps than any other man in America. Intensely racial, having a large organization with tremendous influence behind him, thoroughly conversant with the Republican hypocrisy which nourishes and maintains the damnable doctrine of Segregation in the government departments at Washington, Thomas can be depended upon to sway thousands away from the party of their for- DEATHS DEATHS Six-room house, complete with fixtures.

Do Not Make The Kiddies Eat Do Not Make The Kiddies Eat By RUSSELL CORYELL When Stewart was five, my wife decided that he was not eating as much as he ought. I think she had seen some other woman's child eating more than ours did and was jealous. Women are funny that way. At any rate she decided that Stewart was to be put on a definite, balanced died; so many eggs a week, so many glasses of milk, so many pounds of spinach and so forth. The meal was to be set before Stewart and he was to eat it, every last bit of it. Otherwise, he was to have no dessert. My wife got the best of me, forestalling any possible objection, by putting the diet into effect while I was away. When I came back she reminded me of our compact to stand together. Stewart didn't like the new dietary system. He fought against forced feeding and made breakfasting, lunching and dining thoroughly disagreeable performances. He declared that soft boiled eggs nauseated him. The milk tasted bad. The spinach had sand in it. He pretended to be too full to eat another bite, or said he had just enough room left for dessert. And when the full, definite, balanced meal had all been loaded into him he declared his stomach hurt. I fought with my wife in private over this regime — tried to point out to her that she was turning Stewart against certain foods to which hitherto he had never objected, tried to show her that she was putting a premium on desserts and making them tremendously important to Steward, suggesting to her that a child could be over-fed. But disciplining a wife is a great deal more difficult than disciplining a child. Then Stewart came down with pneumonia. The doctor cut off all food and put him on orange juice and ginger ale. At the end of ten days Stewart was ready to eat anything, but the doctor began very gradual... gruel, broth and so on. And Stewart despised the doctor for starving him. Then the doctor took my wife and me aside. "Don't try forcing this child any more," he said. "If there is one normal instinct in this world it is hunger. Nobody will starve if he has food before him — unless he has been taught to be stubborn. Your child will eat as much as his body demands. All you need to worry about is having plenty of food on the table. Don't have any other kind. Don't have desserts that aren't as healthful as the meal itself. Desserts shouldn't be the reward for eating. They should be an essential What did Stewart do? His eyes opened wide with joy. "What?" he cried. "Don't I really have to eat anything I don't really want? And can I have my dessert just the same?" "You surely may," we told him. "You may eat anything you see on the table — as much or as little as you please. You may eat only dessert if you choose." "Gee!" cried Stewart delightedly. "I'm gonna have dessert first." So we gave him a helping of applesauce. Then he decided to have some lettuce and after that his meat and potatoes. And now meal time is a joy. He eats everything and eats it with pleasure. There are meals, of course, when he eats very little, but I think that is true of adults as well as of children. Certainly Stewart's firm-fleshed body shows proper nourishment, and without any nerve-racking discipline to oblige him to keep fit. 5.

Rogers Ducks Camera Man Who Would Pose Him In Front Of Naked Figures On Brussell's Fountain. French Women Must Pass Thru Men's Lavatory To Get To Their Own.—Nature Provides Humans With No Clothes.—Anglo-Saxous Cover Bodies To Boom The Clothing Business. LONDON, ENG., (By J. A. ROGERS)—Some months past I began what I intended was to be a series of articles on some of the fundamental points of difference between Europe and the United States. Of this I wrote but a single article on nationality in which I endeavored to show that nationality in Europe meant something very much different from in America, that in the United States racialism really took precedence over nationalism, and that in America the foreigner had more freedom than in Europe. Sex Problems The second article I had intended to be on what I will lump under the general name of the Sex Problem. I did nothing toward preparing this, however, and might have gone no further but for the fact that I recently took a second and more intimate trip over seven European countries, and what I saw especially as regards the status of the European woman in comparison with that of the American syne has decided my writing more. Perhaps in nothing is the differ- the bushes, Hampstead Heath or ence between the two civilizations more strongly marked than in the attitude towards sex. The causes go sleep and are manifest. Among the principal ones are the following: Europe's is the older civilization and because of its more congested nature there has been less opportunity for change and for new developments. The earliest Europeans, like the rest of humanity, were phallic worshippers, to them the organs of generation were as natural and accountable as the hand or the head, and in a land where customs change very, very slowly, this view, somewhat attenuated, it is true, has been passed on to the present generations. U. S. Would Call Photos Obscene I have seen public fountains, designs in cathedrals and old castles and elsewhere, post-cards of which I would be very careful of carrying around in the United States lest I be arrested for having obscene pictures. And as to what phallic worship is I should like to say what it is for the benefit of those readers who do not know, but I do not wish to make Americans blush. Phallus is a rather remote word and perhaps one may use it without scandalizing our Summers and trousered old malds. African Art Frank A study of African art reveals the same frankness in dealing with sex. In the allegory of Adam and Eve, the two went around as unconscious as children or primitive tropical men and women of the fact that they were nude until their "eyes were opened." In Russia of today men and women bathe nude together in public streams just as in Africa. Norway Maids Scrub Hotel Guests In Norway the man who would take a bath in a hotel had better ensure the lecking of the bath-room door or the maid will come in to scrub him. Throughout Latin Europe, especially, numerous statues reveal that men are men and women are women. Once in the city of Florence a photographer who lurks in the neighborhood of the Uffizi Palace, wanted to snap me before the Statue of Hercules as he was doing others. I thought of having it done and sending it to the papers but on a second look at the statue I decided that it would never do for American consumption. The same holds true with regards to another well-known fountain in Brussels. Of course, it will be understood, that I have been using only the milder examples to illustrate my point and am keeping myself from "cutting loose" and giving vivid examples. Sex in every European country in which I have been, among the unmarried as well as the married seems to be regarded as quite the normal thing. Indeed, it seems to be regarded as a necessity particularly in Germany and Latin Europe. At least simple provisions are made for its intelligence in these regions. Exception must be made in the case of England. The attitude of the English resembles that of the American though it does not go the same extremes. Saturday Is Venus Day Saturday evening seems to be the time when the working people in Europe and America worship at the shrine of Venus. In Continental Europe they go to one of the numerous hotels — Saturday night is always a bad night to look for a room on the Continent — In England they go to African Art Frank Sex Among The Latins Saturday Is Venus Day THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, 15, 1928 the bushes, Hampstead Heath or some other place; and in America they go like Moses to prison. In North Carolina for instance it is the custom for the officers of the law to descend on amorous couples and hail them to court where they are fined Monday mornings or made to work it out on the roads. I have listened to dozens of these cases, and in every instance, the defendants were of the poorer working type. Better Class Not Caught In not a single instance have I ever seen a white person or a higher class Negro before the court, tho there is ample proof that the sex morals of both these groups are no better than that of the humbler Negro. The latter was, however, less financially able to hide himself. This by the way struck me as being about as neat an example of injustice as I have ever seen. Still North Carolina needs good roads. I said that I was refraining from giving some of the more vivid examples of the comparative lack of prudishness among Continental Europeans as compared with Americans, and I might add English people, too. Still I might give one or lesser instances. In Latin America the urinoirs for men are on the streets where passersby may see the men within, while in Italy, there is no pretense of even a little cover as in France. In many of the French cafes entrance into ladies toilet is through the men's urinoir, and reared in an Anglo-Saxon country with its signs warning me to arrange my clothes carefully before stepping out of the door, I'll never forget my surprise when I first saw a toilet of the kind just mentioned. Still the Latin peoples for generations and generations have been seeing this sort of thing with the result that it is as natural and commonplace to them as it would be striking and indecent to the Anglo-Saxon, as indecent as eating a cow would be to an orthodox Hindu or kissing is to the Japanese. For sex prudishness like color prejudice is not inherent in man. It must be taught, but in time any custom can become so strong that it may readily be mistaken for an inherent natural quality. In Latin and Germanic countries photographs of the nude human body as it is may be bought either in card form or in magazines. Since the American invasion the French are getting a little more prudish, and are putting certain restrictions on the vendors of these cards, but in Germany and Austria there seem to be none. In a recent visit to the last named countries I was surprised to see the large number of nude illustrations in magazines and card photos. Nudity Toned Down In Paris Nudity Toned Down In Paris Before the American invasion actors used to appear quite nude on the stage in Paris as they now do in Germany. In Berlin I have seen prostitutes at windows exhibiting themselves quite nude to likely clients on the streets. In short, after omitting the prudes, which are to be found among all peoples, even among the French, one may safely say that sex and sex expression seems to be regarded as natural among the Continentals as it is regarded vile and improper among the English and Americans. Reason For Difference I have long tried to discover the Better Class Not Caught Urinoirs On Streets Commonplace In Italy Nude Photos For Sale reason for the wide difference between the attitudes of the two civilizations, and have finally traced it to an economic source. The Anglo-Saxon is the leading producer of clothing. In proportion as humanity covers up its body the better thrives business for the Anglo-Saxon. The less it wears the stronger the reverse effect on business: and if all of us were suddenly to develop the lack of sex consciousness to be found among primitive Africans and children, there would be a great slump in the cotton and woolen business at least in the summer months. Booming Business One fact is certain, clothing was certainly intended as a protection for the body, and not the hider of nudity it is today for Nature sends us into the world without clothing, and to thoroughly cleanse our bodies we must put off our clothes. When the Anglo-Saxon insists that the body and all its parts must be hidden he is therefore only trying to boom business. Necessity Goads Us Along And be it noted here that I am neither commending the European nor finding fault with the Anglo-Saxon. To me, a would-be philosopher, the attitudes of both on this matter of sex, is interesting, and I haven't the slightest desire to change either, if I could. I know, as Victor Hugo so ably pointed out in his "Toilers of the Deep", that man is a man all over the world, and he acts always from necessity, or rather that necessity goads him along. More Women In Europe And this brings me to the second reason for what I said marked the difference between the European and the American as regards sex, and also the cause why prostitution is rife in almost every country in Europe. This is the far greater percentage of women in Europe than in America. The U. S. census of 1920, as far as I can quote from memory, gives something like 97 women for every 100 men, the Negro population showing a very slight number of women over men. Even before the war every European country showed an excess of women over men. In England at the present time there is an excess of some three million women, while I think the last census of Paris showed three women for every two men.

Poem This Week A MORNING THOUGHT Let me today do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may I be so favored as to make Of joy's too scanty sum a little more. Let me not hurt, by an selfish dead Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend; Nor would I pass unseeing, worthy need, Or sin by silence when I should defend. However meager be our worldly wealth, Let me give something that will aid my kind, A word of courage or a thought of health, Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find. Let me tonight look back across the span Twixt dawn and dark and to my conscience say— Because of some good act to beast or man— The world is better that I lived today. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

A&P ESTABLISHED 1859 THE ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEACHER Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby Babies Have Nerves Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the overstimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can't see what is making baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, harmless castoria. It's amazing to see how quickly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opiates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians describe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipation; gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and all other "upsets" of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria, you get, a book on Motherhood, worth its weight in gold. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the package so you'll get genuine Castoria. There are many imitations. BUTTERED VEGETABLES BUTTERED VEGETABLES Butter added to cooked vegetables improves flavor and food value. A generous portion of butter so improves the flavor of the dish that one will eat a larger amount of these necessary vegetables.

Understanding Mothers know this (K) 1928, Carroll Jones KOESTER'S IS A MOTHER'S DUTY! ONE GALLUS JOHN He Never Wore But One Gallus Even When The Wife He Loved Insisted On Two Or She'd Quit. By STELLA HUNTER DAVIS There had been talk for some time of the Low Moor Iron Company opening up the mines at Dolly Ann, but we considered it all idle gossip until we saw the new shanties going up. A few weeks later we noticed one of the shanties was occupied and in a few days we had learned these facts about the occupant. He was from East Virginia, was thirty years old, six feet tall, weighed one hundred ninety pounds, wore number twelve shoes, cussed a little and never under any circumstances wore but one gallus. The following week the rest of the force arrived leaving wives and sweet-hearts behind. A fairly quiet set they were most of them attending our mid-week church services. And always on Saturday there was a great scramble for the train. Some going home, some going else where. But it was a queer thing about John, one gallus. John the force called him, he never went away on Saturday, never wrote or received many letters. The other fellows rushed to the Post Office in the afternoon before they ate, but one gallus sat beside the shant- with his chair tilted back and smoked. A good natured fellow, full of dry humor when you could persuade him to talk, which was seldom. On Sundays after all the boys had broken camp for home, he usually inspected the mines, fixed himself a lunch, and when the weather was good he spent the rest of the day exploring. He could tell you where Smith's Creek, had its source, how many feet deep the Mills Crater was, where the entrance was to Hangman's Cave. He seemed to like this hiking business, and of course it has its good points. One Sunday on his ramble he and a copper-head had a little misunderstanding, and one gallus John got the worst of the argument. And how he made his way from McGraws Gap to my house, I've never found out. Deacon Jacobs had been making his usual Sunday evening call, and was just on the point of going home. Just as he opened the screen door one gallus John fell in, and scared Deacon Jacobs so badly that he swallowed his chew of tobacco, but quickly recovered and refilled his mouth. One gallus John pointed to his leg and I knew at once it was a snake bite and got busy. While Jim ripped his pants leg, I hurried about finding a cord, a sharp knife and my castor oil. Quickly I grabbed one of my frying chickens and while deacon Jacobs and Jim cut the wound a little so it might bleed freely I split the chicken still alive right half in two and put one-half on the wound. Just above the wound Jim had already tied the cord fairly tight. As soon as I removed the other half of the chicken from the wound, and you'd be surprised how greenish black it had turned, deacon Jacobs slapped his fresh chew of tobacco on the wound. To the cupboard I went, got a teacup, filled it half full of castor-oil and poured it down one gallus John's throat. "If only we had some good red whiskey." I thought, and whether by mental telepathy or intuition I can't say which, deacon Jacobs took up the thought. "I think sister Emma," he began guarded, "I have a few drops of red whiskey left from little Ben's illness I could spare if it is absolutely necessary." (And all the time I knew he had a whole pint bottle full, that he kept filled for his toddies. I saw it once when Lizzie was sick and one Sunday I actually smelled it on his breath, but of course I never let on.) "Man," I said authoratively. "If you value one gallus John's life, hurry and bring me that whiskey." In less time than it takes to tell it he was back, but not before he had measured out just barely a snake-bite dose. From experience he probably knew, for seldom a summer passed that we didn't aid some snake-bitten victim. And I must say I've never known this first aid treatment to fail, provided we could reach the victim in time. We knew how long it would take the doctor to drive the five miles over that road of clay and rock, and we made ready to have our patient presentable. He ought to have on pajamas or a night shirt I decided, and so made a raid on my trunk. Way down in the bottom I found it — the night shirt I had bought for Jim — seven years before. What ideas I had then — I was determined Jim should be a gentleman or at least be like my idea of what one was. Many were the arguments we had many the tears I shed, often were the times I said I was going home to mother. Jim and deacon Jacobs got him into the night shirt, and I can't say he looked like a Fifth Avenue model in it, for he didn't. A forty-two man — in a thirty-eight night shirt, and how it was the best I could do. As I straightened the cover on his bed, he motioned me to sit down and write a few lines for him. His voice was unsteady and in broken sentences he gave me these facts. Down on Eastern Shore there was a girl Emily, whom he had married after a season's courtship. "A wonderful girl," he said, "but we just couldn't agree." "Would you write her," he asked, "and tell her — in — case I don't pull through?" (So like a man I thought, always thinking of dying at the least aliment.) THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, 15, 1928 I wrote as he dictated, and had just finished when the doctor blew in. After removing the cord he examined the wound, sterilized it, gave us a prescription to have filled. We knew, of course, that the crisis had passed, but after coming five miles, he had to do enough to justify his asking for a fee of five dollars. Right back to the village Phil galloned to get the prescription filled and send Emily's letter "Special Delivery." Just as soon as I could. I slipped out of the room and told Jim all about the letter. Honestly, I had planned to keep it a secret, but I felt that I'd bust if couldn't tell somebody about it. Two days later the answer came. Meet the 1:15 train. — Emily. Well I nearly collapsed with excitement as I dressed. What is she like; what shall I wear; etc. At last, dressed in my Sunday best, Molly to hitched to the buggy, I started her in a trot down the hill. In due time I reached the station and had only ten minutes to wait. All the time I was schooling myself not to say "One Gallus John" but Mr. John when I met the wife. Sure enough Emily came and after loading her into the buggy we began conversation. "One gallus John — er I mean Mr. John," I said, "Asked me to write you —". "Does he still wear one gallus," she asked? "Pon my word he does," I assured her. Then she began to cry. "We would have been so happy," she continued, "If only he hadn't used just one gallus." "Mary's husband," she went on, "always put on his coat when sitting around the house. On Sunday, all day long John sat with his trousers swung up by one gallus," she finished. So there it is I thought. If we women aren't the queerest things! We seem to think man was made to be re-made. How foolish we are, trying model our husbands, after our neighbor's husband. Jim, me, and the night-shirt, Emil' John and the one gallus. Little petty nothings, wrecking scores of lives. By the time I reached our gate I had outlined John's predicament, and Emily was eager to get inside. While she rushed in to John, I put Molly and the buggy away. How glad they seemed to see each other — they acted like young lovers. One year has rolled by now, of course one gallus John lived. With that castor oil, whiskey and doctor's medicine in him, he had to! He and Emily seem so happy, apparently in their seventh heaven. Only once has she mentioned their re-union to me. It was one evening she was helping me to peel apples for an apple stirring. "I am so happy now seeing the wonderful traits, and big things in John's life, that I never thing about the one gallus any more." But John wears it, right on. N. B.-The grandfathers in our community pin their faith on this treatment for snake-bites.

The Sugar Industry We now come to the heart of Senor Araquistain's thesis. The sugar industry, started in Haiti by the French, has now spread to most of the islands of the Greater Antilles, due to the ridiculous cheapness of Antillean land and labor. This spread of the industry has been fatal to all chance of fixing a large white population in any of the islands. For the modern sugar plantation requires an abundance of capital and land, thereby depressing men of equal means.

Native Whites Leave The native whites, ninding it impossible to compete with this army of cheap black labor, emigrate to America and Spain, and in consequence the islands become more and more Africanized every year. In his discussion of this process as it goes on in Cuba, the author says: "In the case of the Antillean Negroes in Cuba these inconveniences are quite serious, due to the mutual prejudice of race, to the notable differences in their culture levels, and to the fact that the languages spoken are quite different from Spanish; French in the case of the Haitians and English in the case of the Jamalcians." thesis Araquistain bridge in the case of the Barbadoes. This island was discovered in 1625, and by 1628 had a white population of 1,400. In 1643 this white population had increased to 37,000, the maximum reached by the whites. But during the middle of the 17th century there was a gradual decrease in the white population and a corresponding increase in the Negro, due to the establishment of the sugar industry and the consequent importation of Negro slaves, so that by 1667 the island had a Negro population of 82,023.

This island was discovered in 1625, and by 1628 had a white population of 1,400. In 1643 this white population had increased to 37,000, the maximum reached by the whites. But during the middle of the 17th century there was a gradual decrease in the white population and a corresponding increase in the Negro, due to the establishment of the sugar industry and the consequent importation of Negro slaves, so that by 1667 the island had a Negro population of 82,023. Why Did Negro Oust Whites? What had happened? Why did the Negro oust the whites? Nothing is clearer. A simple change in the method of production modified th prevailing skin color in the island. When first settled by the English the island was divided up into small plots, and these plots were owned and farmed by the English settlers. This division of the land among the settlers, naturally, encouraged white immigration. But the introduction of cane sugar soon after 1640 revolutionized the economic life of the island. Cheap Labor Sugar cultivation on a large scale required an abundance of land and cheap labor. The small planter lacking this wealth, men of means in England began to buy up their individual holdings in the island and to combine them into large plantations, worked by slave labor. The whites, as a result, found it impossible to compete with this slave labor and the large land holders and emigrated, so today the island of Barbados has a Negro population of 180,000 in comparison with a mere 15,000 for the whites. The same thing is true of Haiti. and is now going on in Puerto Rico and Cuba. The prime force now being the United States instead of England. Porto Rico Let us look for a few minutes at the American possession of Puerto Rico. The United States since her acquisition of Puerto Rico has created in that island a large army of handless peasants, the jibaros, half Indian. American sugar firms bought up most of the sugar estates and combined them, using the local Negro as the source of labor supply. The Negroes, out of necessity, are forced to work at a very low wage, but the whites disdaining this wage emigrate to American, which is slowly but surely changing the nature of her population. Identically the same thing is happening in Cuba. Most of the white immigrants, who are Spaniards, finding it impossible to compete with cheap Negro labor imported from Haiti and Jamaica are returning to Spain. The Negro population, therefore, is gradually increasing year by year. Spain, says the author, has never done this, because of the colonizers of South and Central America, only the Spaniards are capable of living in the tropics, the English and Americans finding it necessary to import African labor. And once you import African labor into a tropical country you are on the road to the Africanization of that country. This phenomenon is merely a part of the economic trend of the times, and it is merely chance that has put the United States in the forefront of the exploiters of the Carribean islands. Large scale production requires an abundance of land and cheap labor the world over. It is also needed to maintain the huge American sugar CENTRALES and plantations in Cuba. Santo Domingo, and Puerto Rico. The Negro happens to be at hand to supply this cheap labor and American capitalists use him. America is not deliberately Africanizing the Antilles in an attempt to destroy Spanish culture. it comes as a historical by-product. The author. I must say. is aware of this, and is fair in his criticism of the United States.

Although Senor Araquistain hates to see the former colonies of his beloved Spain go Negro, he is, he takes good pains to inform us, no contener of the Negro. No Race Prejudice "I do not need to say," he writes, "that I have no race nor color prejudice against the Negro. For neither the clothes nor the skin make the monk or the man. I believe in the essential equality of the bulk of mankind; that they possess the same aptitudes for good and evil, for abnegation and egoism, for tenderness and brutality. for nobleness and abjection for bravery and cowardice, for truth and error, and for beauty and ugliness. A black child in tears, a black woman flogged, or a black man treated like a slave, make me suffer the same as a white child wo- man, or man would under a similar circumstances. I agree with that black of Puerto Rico who, addressing a meeting and pounding his ebony muscled arms, said: 'We, the members of the latin race' — which is a variant of the old Civis sum romanus — had a better concept of race, as equivalent to culture, than most whites". "I do not know," says Araquistain, "if the Negro will some day write something similar to the Platonic Dialogues or the Critic of Pure Reason; but there can be no doubt of his capacity to learn how to handle the large modern machines, which today serve life as well as destroy it, and which is the only pretext the whites have for a vanishing superiority". West Indian Race Problems Yet, despite the above favorable comments he writes, "This is the terrible reality of the Antilles and several Central American countries. The presence of a large Negro population, brought from Africa during the time of slavery, has created a very grave race problem, which hampers the spiritual fusion of the various nationalities, and indirectly weakens and divide them. The island of Santo Domingo, occupied in less than half by Haitian Negroes, makes the political unity of this territory impossible. And, in a larger or lesser degree, this tragedy, born of the hatred of the white for black, is repeating itself in Cuba and Puerto Rico and the other Antilles." This book is brilliantly written and is packed with many interesting facts. Its author is probably the most brilliant of all the Spanish journalists.

Sickly House Plants Some people have great difficulty in growing house plants, while others seem to be able to grow almost any kind of plant in any home they occupy. However, there are several simple plant medicines that may revive sickly house plants. Coffee grounds on the roots three or four times a week will often work wonders particularly if two teaspoonsful of olive oil are added each ten days or so. Check the plants for gas insect sprays, lack of water and such things, and if they still sickly, try the coffee grounds and oil cure. W. Va. College Head Is Speaker At National Baptist Convention RELIGION HASN'T KICK Denominationalism Termed Sigh Of Disunion LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Speaking Booker T. Washington night at the National Baptist Convention in session here President John W. Davis, of the W. Virginia Collegiate Institute, stirred the audience by pointing out the critical attitude of youth of present day methods and program of the church. After expanding the social philosophy of Booker T. Washington as a "set-up of success" for the Negro race in America, President Davis pointed out that it will be only three years before he will possess, land, wealth, skill, health, sound education and a worthwhile response to beauty and order. "The church must not wait upon the schools of the race. The preacher must help offer it to the middle class group which compose the back-ground of the race." Youth Criticise Explaining that youth were not against the program, the speaker gave their point of view, the speaker gave the following criticism of youth on the program "of the present." 1. Religion is presented in a dogmatic manner, contrary to the spirit of the age. In this context, the position that there is no conflict between science 2. Religion does not have reality or as a certain student put it, "Religion has no reality — a spirit — youth asks who does that really and practically mean? Is God personal in any sense? If God is not personal, what real situation remains in the concept of God? 3. Personal immortality is not proved, no traveler has real experience, can he be killed? Christianity claims to be a religion of brotherly love. It is 2.000 years old. Youth asks, after studying facts of poverty, crime, great war, oppression — is not christianity a. Youth further challenges the church as follows: A. The doctrines preached and are out of date. B. Youth is a body of relatively well satisfied people who are not concerned with righting the world's wrongs. C. Denominationalism is a pitiless distortion. able discipline in church does not exercise a right social church but operates on a 'live and let live basis' which amounts to 'dodging issues' which connection youth would put out the position of a church day church a. Treatment of unwanted children; b. Keeping alive persons suffering from incurable diseases while preaching at the same time the stories of eternal life to heart of marriage failure fully aware of the mental and spiritual death of the contracting parties. d. The enforcement of law. Further social criticism involves lack of a program involving wealth; condemning faith in politics; national self centeredness; and intolerance or mediastalm in religion.

History at Allen University, South Carolina, is an easy Way, Mortgage College, Atlanta, Ga. to become dean of the Theological Seminary there. Wilberforce he said, was founded in 1865 for the training of preachers. Several other denominational schools were established express purpose of fitting men to become ministers of the gospel. The trend of the times has caused a shift in the policies. They are busier now training men for the medical profession. Dr. Singleton said, than they are for the ministry. This is not far-sighted in providing the necessary means for the training of its leaders." He cited St. Paul, Augustine, Luther and John Wesley as outstanding men of the church and that limits the work not have deree their work without a thorough educational training. Bills to revamp and revise the educational system of the church were presented at last the day before at Chiswick, the Rev. Singleton, said and died in the Committee on Revision. "God help that committee." The educational secretary of the church in the annual report failed even to call attention to the measures which would have provided for the closing of certain theological schools and the merger of the two institutions.
