Lee, Mr Mr. R. A. J. Shaw Monday evening a largely attended banquet and meeting was held at the Metropolitan Community Center, 3118 Giles Ave., in the interest of the Stradford Hotel and Theatre. Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts was the able and brilliant master of ceremonies and in his opening remarks he very clearly set forth the aims and objects of the promoters of the great enterprise. Before starting with the speaking, Rev. Campbell of the Christian Church, 36th and Federal Streets, was called on to pronounce the blessing. Mr. William H. Smith was the first speaker of the evening and with facts and figures and with use of a chart he easily showed or proved that it would be no trouble to make a proposition like unto the Stradford Hotel and Theatre pay a handsome return on the five hundred thousand dollar invested as it will require that amount of money to float the proposition. The building is to be constructed on a lot located at the corner of 36th Street and Indiana Avenue. The lot is 100x180 feet, the building will be eight stories high, steel and re-inforced concrete, fire-proof throughout and it will contain 250 guest rooms with accommodations for 500 guests, with separate baths for each room. It will contain 9 stores, shops and parors on the main floor. It will also contain a first class 12-chair barber shop, a billiard hall, ladies' hair dressing parlor, a modern theatre, seating 1,255 persons and an assembly room for 500. Mr. Anthony Overton, President of the Orrton Hygienic Mfg. Co., and President of the Douglass National Bank, was the next speaker and he went on to state that for many years while traveling on the railroads HOWARD ANNOUNCES ITS FALL SCHEDULE "The Football Classic of the Year" to be Played in Washington on Thanksgiving Day—Dr. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, Sets Rumors at Rest and Outlines Elaborate Program for Entertainment of the Thousands Expected Washington, D.

Stratford until his hotel was destroyed during the fearful race riots in that city in the summer of 1921, and with Mr. Stratford as manager of the Stratford Hotel and Theatre in this city he had every reason to believe that he will conduct all the affairs in connection with it in apple pie order and that it is bound to be a success. It is understood that the Douglass National Bank will be the depository for the Stratford Hotel and Theatre Company. Mr. T. Arnold Hill, Mr. W. H. A. Moore, Mr. P. W. Treloar, Mr. Julius F.

Stratford who will be the manager of the new hotel, were among the other speakers, and they all freely predicted that as the hotel and theatre, which will be exclusively managed by colored men with experience along that line, that there is no reason on earth why the great enterprise will not meet with great success. Mr, J. B. Stratford, Mrs. Fanny O. Morgan, Mr. R. H. Smith, Prof. Samuel I. Lee and Mr. R. A. J.

The business arrangements for the game, by vote of the Howard University Board of Trastees, will remain in the hands of the business administration of the University. Game to be Played in the Morning Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard, announces that the reason the game is to be played in the morning at ten-thirty o'clock instead of in the afternoon as formerly is that Howard is in position to guarantee but one outstanding game every other year to the Management of the American League Park, while Georgetown and George Washington Universities, both popular institutions located here, have entered into contract to stage their annual Thanksgiving clash at the American League Park in Washington and to play all of their other home games also at the same park, thereby guaranteeing from four to six events each year in addition to the stellar Thanksgiving Day attraction. The arrangement entered into this year, however, as between Howard University, Georgetown University and the Management of the American Ex-Congressman, Ex-Paymaster United States Army, Who Served as Master of Ceremonies at the Farewell Reception in Honor of Dr. Adena C.

Thousands Expected at the Game The thousands of visitors who will be coming to the game will reach Washington Wednesday night, November 29th, for the various festivities being arranged in their honor and will proceed immediately after breakfast Thanksgiving morning, to the American League Park for the classic event of the year. Dr. Scott also announces that the Howard University administration has arranged two receptions in honor of the Football Teams and visitors, at The Coliseum, one immediately following the game, from 2 to 6 o'clock, at which latter time the members of the Howard-Lincoln Football Squads will be present to be formally introduced to the thousands in attendance. The arrangements made for the entertainment of the visitors are now full and complete. Additional Seats Are Available The American League Park has had about 10,000 additional Grand Stand and Box seats added since the last game (1920) was played; in addition to that, some 7,000 seats will this year be placed on the south side lines, thereby affording full opportunity for each and every visitor to see every movement of the players. The Howard schedule for 1922 is as follows: Oct. 7, Open Date at Washington; Oct. 14, Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Washington; Oct. 21, Agricultural and Technical College, of Greenboro, N.

In 1920, Dr. Scott denominated the Lincoln-Howard Football game of that year "The Football Classic of the Year." This slogan was accepted the country over as an apt description of this annual event. All eyes are now turned toward the American League Park, Thursday morning, Thanksgiv- ing Day, at 10:30 o'clock, when the 1922 Football Classic will be staged by these two outstanding institutions of learning. STATE OFFERS REWARD TO WAR ON KU KLUX KLAN Baton Rouge, La.—As a result of appeals which have been made to him from Morehouse parish, and the direct charges made to the governor that the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for the kidnapping and possible murder of T. R Richards and Watt Daniel of Mer Rouge, Governor Parker issued a proclamation calling upon the "good people of Morehouse" to aid in running down members of the mob. He has offered a reward of $500 for the identification of members of this mob and directed the attorney general of the state to use the full force of his office to run down the perpetrators of this crime. Victim's Widow Penniless The governor Saturday morning received a letter from Mrs. T. R. Richards, wife of one of the men kidnapped. "I am left entirely without a home, no relatives, or money for my two children or myself," she wrote. "I have two little girls to raise and was absolutely dependent upon my husband's daily labor for support. And ```markdown ``` just because he was scared by the Klan they have done this, and they are now trying to make out it was not the Klan, but it was the Klan, as otherwise they would have been willing and ready to help me find my husband. I believe he is dead because he would have written if he is alive, and I am nearly crazy with suspense and pray God for help. Won't you do what you can?" TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PLAT FORM HITS NEGROES Members of the race are said to have voted in the last Democratic Primary Election at San Antonio, Texas. As a result the committee on Resolutions and Platform recommended to the state democratic convention the following platform plank: "In view of the fact that certain counties in this state have not adhered to the recommendations of the State Executive Committee to exclude Negroes from participating in the primary elections, we direct our incoming legislature to so amend the law as to forever exclude Negroes from participating in any democratic primary election to be held in any county of this state." A sub-committee also dealing with the platform refused by a vote of 8 to 1 to accept any planks opposing the Ku Klux Klan. However, later they agreed upon the adoption of a plank from 1896 Texas Democratic platform. So far as the Klan is concerned the platform was absolutely meaningless since it merely rehashed a number of worn-out principles which carried no weight with reference to the treatment of the Negro, such as the strict construction of the Federal Constitution, preservation of the state and the liberties of the people, political equality of the citizens, freedom of conscience, and of the press, separation of church and state—a resolution which could mean BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE.

Postage 10c extra If biological investigations are trustworthy it would seem that the apparent lower capacity of the Negroes as of every backward race is to be explained mainly, if not altogether, by the absence of an environment favorable for development." Professor I have already noted more than one book on the general subject of the United States with a chapter devoted to the Negro. This volume, "America Faces The Future," is such a book and one in which we can rejoice. The writer is a Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and we congratulate the students who sit under so sane a man. "We are far too prone to brag of our achievements and too little disposed to acknowledge our shortcomings," the writer says of Americans, and acknowledges that his book is one of criticism and warning. "But," he ends, "the picture must not l2 too dark. We have not yet fully realized our fathers' dreams, but, on the whole, we have done well. * * * Great potentialities, for good lie in professional associations, in trade unions, in other organizations along vocational lines. * * Two things we must cease to be afraid of, unrest and agitation of the court, in its quiet way, is full of agitation in its condemnation of our courts, its call for greater democracy in labor, its call for far more and better education. We who used to be close to the top are far down the list now among the educated peoples of the earth. Politically we are often dishonest, and our poverty is tragic. "If between sixty and seventy per cent of 'working class' families were living in 1906 on less than a fair 'living wage', it is probably that more than seventy per cent were so situated in 1920." On the problem of race the book is distinctly favorable to the Negro. "It is not that the Negro is an inferior race. Recent investigations seem to indicate that there is no great difference in average mental ability between the members of the white, red yellow, brown and black races. everything or nothing with reference to the Ku Klux Klan. A real resolution with teeth to it was offered by Henry D. Lindsley but the presiding officer refused even to read it. Mr. Lindsley was very much disappointed and issued a statement in which he said "the existence of the democratic party in Texas and the Nation is at stake as a result of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan issue is not hate but national; if the Democratic Party does not purge itself of the influence of this organization it will soon become the party of the mob." The only thing wrong about this statement of Mr. Lindsley is that he uses the future tense instead of the perfect in the sentences quoted.

TEE OF THE NA- MIATION FOR THE T OF COLORED If biological investigations are trustworthy it would seem that the apparent lower capacity of the Negroes as of every backward race is to be explained mainly, if not altogether, by the absence of an environment favorable for development." Professor Drake goes on to show how the Negro is deprived of an education and often is prevented from improving his economic condition. "The return of Negro soldiers from the war with its broadening outlook, the growing appreciation of the economic value of the Negro in a time when farm labor is increasingly scarce, the work of a few endowed Negro schools, and of such bodies as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, offer hope for alleviation of an intolerable condition." And he ends by saying: "We must respect them and cease to look upon them as inferior." These words seem mire truisms and they are an immense advance upon even such kindly books as Professor Shaler's of twenty years ago. The world does move though it goes at too slow and jerky a gait for most of us. Probably it moves on the Negro question because the Negro himself moves so fast that it is impossible any longer to keep him down. The increase in higher education among the young people of the race is amazing. They are crowding to our colleges. Where one went twenty years ago, twenty go today. Their presence is felt and their ability known. It is no longer possible to use the old argument that Negroes are unable to develop after they pass the age of fourteen. Too many have progressed to make such a statement carry any weight even with the most prejudiced. The people of America are beginning to learn the true facts regarding the Negro, and these facts are getting into books like Professor Drake's. And since the volume is arranged in the form of a text book, it is all the more important that it looks upon the race question with something of justice. EX-PASTOR HELD AS DAD OF BABE BORN TO GIRL, 10 Sidney, O.—The Rev. L. W. Irwin, former pastor of the ardin M. E. Church, was arrested Wednesday at Amelia, his new pastorate, on a warrant charging him with being implicated in the birth of a boy to his 10-year-old stepdaughter, Elizabeth Ladd. The birth of the baby to the little girl some weeks ago attracted the attention of the medical world. Efforts to get her to reveal the name of the father were unavailing. The girl was placed in charge of the wife of Sheriff Clark of Hardin county. Prosecuting Attorney Marshall, Sheriff and Mrs. Clark, and Clifford Blair, a court stenographer, were present when the girl is said to have made the confession implicating her stepfather.

He was not a college grad- uate, but did take some special lec- tures or work at Roger Wiliams Uni- versity, but he was a student. He spent his spare time in study of both’ books and men, and because he was a student, he became the deader of men. ‘Twenty-nine years ago. Dr. Elias C. Morris, was elected President of the National Baptist convention, and held the position ever since, without a break. He was loved by all, and they considered it an honor to elect him year after year to lead the Baptists of America. Of course there were some who desired the job, and said that he was holding on too long, and pulled off a side show, elected E. P. Jones, to preside over them for a year or two, and then other young men would step in, They said it would be an opportunity, but bless your soul Jones\is a sticker, andya tricker, and they have not been able to get him out of the job. But I am not talking about that now. For thirty-five years, this great leader presided over the Arkansas Baptist state convention, and was President when the end came. He was aggressive, and 1 am proud to tell ‘you that he believed in doing things. In the National Baptist con- vention, under his administration, the National Baptist Publishing Board was brought into life. He put his whole being into it, and to his sur- prise found that it was not the prop- erty of the National Baptist conven- tion. He was told by others that it was not, dut he believed in the leader, and saidsit was a mistake, and it took the decision of the court to convince him that it was not the property of the convention and he then and there declared that there should be a print- ing plant owned anf operated by the ‘Baptists, hence the organization of [pay eager’ Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention, and the secretary now is the Rev.

But he has gone fromi us. Many sad hearts in America today, but the work he has started will live ‘on and on, and he will ever live in the hearts of the pegple in America. He has goue to join others who have gone before him. Sunday, September +3, I reached Kansas City, and in the afternoon got a telegram signed by E. A. Morris, telling me to come at once. I got myself together, and Dr. S. W. Ba- cote, rushed me down to the; Union stable in time 10 catch the Frisco for Memphis, and that put me in the city of Little Rock, Monday afternoon, going to Memphis, and then taking the Rock Island which waited for me. 1 went immediately to the house, but Dr. Morris did not récognize me. 1 remained around there until his death. I was with Charles Stewart, after the death and assisted him in getting telegrams to the papers, to his friends and relatives, and then after this was all pver, he left for another part of the world, because he was not well and his doctor thought that he should’ ‘get out and take a rest. So many of our men are dying, 1 wonder if he is going to join the number. He was a devoted friend to Dr. E. C. Morris, —in fact he was just like a member of that family, and when he got to town, they received him just like one of the family. He always stops with Dr. Booker, and of course went right on there at this time. » The sister of Dr. Morris, was the mother of Dr. Booker's wife, and you will see that it is al! one family. Since the funeral I have left the city, and made by St. Louis, and be- lieve me I telegraphed Poro college that I was passing through and while the Malones were not there, those in charge sent me down one more lunch, and I did cat it, They had a whole chicken, some fruit, some cake, some’ watermelon, some other melons— some lemonade, and it looked like to me that I was just going to eat my fool brains out. I have some of it now, and still eating, and I am riding on my way to California, and 1 have the job of private secretary to the Grand Worghy Counsellor of Kansas, Mrs. Noreng Davis. I am going to spell her letters for her, tote her bags, and I am told that the Grand Court will vote me thanks in the mext ses- sion and if I die they will put some flowers on my grave, and I am sure that I will enjoy smelling them. You may look out for my western letters for the next two or three weeks. God bless you, Write to me when you can find out just where I am. I will return to the United States next month. I am now out west. I note that they are now talking about Dr.tL. K. Williams as successor to Dr. E. C. Morris. He would make a good one. I hope they will elect hhim when the time comes, for he was a friend to Dr. Morris, loved him like a brother. I will have miore to say another time. You might send me a letter care A.M.E.

MINOTTA Founder of the Cilo School of Mental Science Analysis, Who Was Tendered a Farewell Re- Afternoon, September 9. RECEPTION TO DR. MINOTTA San Francisco, C BRILLIANT SUCCESS Wells-Barnett, Mr say Davis, Mrs. Ir Lovers of literary and musical art were out in full force, overflowing the elegant and spacious quarters of the Unity Club, 3140 Indiana Avenue, last Saturday afternoon to signify the regret felt by the community at the departure of Dr. Adena C. E. Minott who has for the past six years endeared herself to the-hundreds who have come within the charming circle of her influence as principal of the Clio School of Mental Sciences, Inc., of this city. As was stated last week, personal business calls her back to her home in New York City, and she will depart within a few days, not to return, except upon special occasions. At the hour appointed there was an overflow crowd of the elect, of the city—Mr. Ford S. Black of Black's Blue Book Company, long a patron of the school, introduced Hon. J. Gray Lucas, who in turn, presented Major John R. Lynch as master of ceremonies. Mr. Lucas, in happiest vein, presented Major Lynch as having been known in many quarters all over the nation for many years as well as President Harding. Mr. Lucas told of the many accomplishments of the veteran ex-Congressman, who in his address told of the great value of Dr. Minott's teachings and influence had been to him as well as to he community. Miss Carol McCoy, the well-known dramatist, was then called upon and adipiless all her former efforts in two darming recitations—"Comprenze-Vous?" and a monologue—"In the basement of a Department Store." Madam Anita Patti Brown was next introduced and delighted her audience with two songs which brought down the house. Hon. W. E. Mollison, attorney, who has been one of the friends of the school, delivered an able address entitled "An Revoir." It was a splendid tribute to the guest of the occasion, given in his own imitative style, and met with most generous and hearty applause. Dr. Minnott was then introduced and delivered a most wonderful address, giving an eloquent history of the Cloz School of Mental Sciences and paying a great tribute to those who had been of service in her struggles. A number of the friends of the school were called upon, among them Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The "Broad Ax." His address was both eloquent in its compliment and philosophical in its reasoning and was warmly applauded. Mr. Peyton of COR PEL HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER The Popular Clerk of the County Court who is deed the Ku Klux Klan and who in spite of their elected to his present responsible position in N Of Mental Science and Character need a Farewell Reception Saturday San Francisco, Calif., Mrs. Ida B Wells-Barnett, Mrs. Elizabeth*Lindsay Davis, Mrs. Irene M. Gaines, Mrs. Elizabeth Lytle of Gary, Ind., and Rev. Father John Henry Simons all spoke appropriately. Madam Ezella M. Carter presented Dr. Minott with a splendid bouquet of flowers, in an address which eloquently expressed the appreciation of the alumni and their regret. The guest's response was one long to be remembered and never forgotten. Miss Jennie E. Lawrence, the popular custodian of the Unity Club, assisted by a committee of students and friends of the school, made every visitor and guest feel perfectly at home, leaving nothing undone for the comfort of the representative crowd assembled to do honor to a worthy occasion. The Address (Dr. Minott's address at farewell reception, Sept. 9, 1922). Mr. Master of Ceremonies, Officers of the Clio School of Mental Sciences, Students, Friends. I am filled with a mingled feeling of pleasure and sadness this afternoon. As I stand here, I feel like asking myself whether I am more eager to return to my home city, or to continue living between the East and West, as it were, as I have been doing for the past six years. For it is just six years ago, this very month, that I arrived in Chicago on a Sunday afternoon. I knew then, as I recall my thoughts at that time, just three persons in this city. In my handbag I carried a diagram of Chicago, outlined on a card sent me by Madam Azalia Hackley, together with instructions that I be domiciled at the Phyllis Wheatley Home. I had heard that Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsey Davis had founded such a home and of the magnificent building in which it was newly housed, and I was desirous of stopping there. I went directly to this home, and there formed several new acquaintances, all of whose friendship, I am happy to say, I still retain: conspicuous among which is the friendship of the chairman and one of the members of the social committee for this afternoon's reception. I met Mrs. Davis the following day, and we renewed our acquaintance of club convention days and together and closely, we have been associated from then until now. As time went on, I discovered several former acquaintances among the new friends I was making, and in a comparatively short time, I came to regard Chicago and its environments as my adopted M. y Court who is dead set against in spite of them will be re- sible position in November. The Address home. The very first talk I gave in Chicago was in the parlor of the Payllis Wheatley Home, and I had the pleasure and delight of meeting that night, among others, the distinguished and late Prof. Richard T. Greener, who remained a staunch and faithful friend and patron of our school until his recent demise in May of this year. Prof. Greener, as we all know was a philosopher, thinker, scholar and a genuine patron of progressive moves that tended to uplift humanity, and was thoroughly conversant with the sciences taught at our school. He knew my parents in the East, and I considered it a unique privilege to have met him here and to have had him consider me worthy of the extension of the friendship he held with my parents and surely to have allied himself with my professional efforts as he did. I believe all of us here who knew him miss his presence this afternoon; yet I am certain, if such be possible, his spirit is with us now. Students seem to forget, so of principles, once laid down M.M. followed. That it does not matter what a student has in a book as it does matter what traits makes his own and lives in his day life.

The following summer, however, it was thought better for the publicity of the work that we locate in the new Jordan Building, at 36th and State Streets where we remained until the summer of 1921. In January, 1920, the school was incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois. The work had grown successfully during this time, and indefinite plans were atoot to extend the usefulness of the school still further, by adding as a side line a department for instructing persons whose education for one reason or another, had been neglected, or who needed further training in the subjects of the higher grammar school grades and first year high school subjects. The influx of our people from the South and other parts combined with reconstruction and readjustment conditions through which the world was, and is still passing, makes careful preparation along all lines so necessary that the training of both brain and mind or intellect and personality very fitting to be grouped together in the same institution. Just about this time, however, the unemployment condition and industrial depression wave swept the land, striking Chicago with as full a force as it struck anywhere, and the wisdom of such an expansion arose. Our minds were, by this time, attuned to a plan of expansion, and when it became evident that such expansion was unwise, at least for the time being, our minds took an opposite stand, and active work at our State Street school was suspended temporarily. The year of partial rest and business activities should have merged into the reopened and enlarged activities of the school this autumn; but the hand of destiny, (let us say for want of a better word) has so weaved affairs in the family and business of the speaker that it becomes a duty to the one and a commonsense business proposition to the other condition that this return trip East be made for the centralization of business and professional efforts as formerly. I should rather be silent than to speak this afternoon; but since it is a courteous duty which I owe my friends and well wishers here to address them in a formal manner, I assume the pleasant obligation, altho somewhat reluctantly. In my address, I wish to speak briefly upon the "Power Possessed by All." This power enables people to make of themselves whatever they wish to be. Even the most slightly educated person today, knows to a rather practical extent that the body is controlled, strengthened or weakened by the powers of the mind. Therefore, he should conclude that to be successful he needs to cultivate his mind on both the objective and subjective planes; then by application and perseverance along any line he chooses can he succeed. Yet, for perfect success even by this method one needs to keep his mind as pure and as fair as possible, so as to attract, obtain and retain the good will and co-operation of his fellowmen. Life and character are one and inseparable, and if people are sure of themselves they remain better poised and can resist the onslaughts of a seemingly unfriendly and cruel world and wend their way to success. But how can people be sure of themselves unless they possess a knowledge of themselves? Of the special things which they can do and the power and force of mind needed to perfect the doings of those special things? Such an assurance develops will power in people and one can scarcely be a success, especially under the strain and stress of present day conditions unless he has a strong will to guide him that he may not be swayed first this way and then the other by the storm breezes of life. Earnest, thoughtful, intelligent people do not expect to win success except by hard strivings, struggles and even many besetements. These are conditions of life which all of us must face; but training of the mind enables us to brave life's battles and to fight and win. During my six years of practice here, I have come face to face, time and again, with persons who say, they wish to succeed; but who are neither willing to make the fight nor to apply the principles that would enable them to fight and win success. Students seem to forget, so often that principles, once laid down MUST be followed. That it does not matter so much what a student has in his note book as it does matter what truths he makes his own and lives in in his every day life. Neglect of this precept is the source of almost every failure a student or would be striver has had. It matters not whether the student hails from the Clio School of Mental Sciences or from any other school in the world where people are taught to win success. By the power and force of the mind man learns to think for himself and to master the problems of life. Through a trained eye of the mind man sees the things that to others are unseeable with objective eyes. Every person is born ideally constructed to win success; but he needs to know the strong points of his construction so that he may make the most of them and he should know with equal certainty his drawbacks to success. It therefore becomes a BOUNDEN duty, to say nothing of a common-sense protection for people to guard against their shortcomings while they press on along lines in which they are strong. None of us, unfortunately, is so completely a master of himself that he has not at times to inflict severe discipline of self guardedness upon character weakness of some kind, but friends, IT PAYS. The struggle, bolstered up by pluck WINS EVERY TIME. A very necessary requisite, however, is for people to know the truth about what they are doing. Now, for one to possess the mental strength to bring these things to pass does not depend near so much upon book learning as it does upon mental or mind training. People whose minds are trained get ahead faster and earn success quicker and with more lasting effect; because the power of unfalling forces within them is momentarily revealed to them they draw upon it spontaneously and swiftly and the result is lasting success. It is for the purpose of bringing to our group the application of these truths that a branch of the Chio School of Mental Sciences was founded in Chieago and later incorporated. How well the school has succeeded time will tell. As with all conditions where striving is needed many have striven, then forgotten or grew lax and slipped, but all of these can "right about face" if they wish to and win the goal, keeping in mind the words of the immortal James T. Fields who said: Consult your means, avoid the temp-ters wiles, Shun grinning hosts of unrecepted files. Let Heaven-ey'd prudence battle with desire, And win the victory, though it be through fire. Then, there are those who have kept steadily on, making each step a firm, substantial one. The school is proud of her students, one and all; for the mere fact that an individual strove at all, places him in a class for commendation, and any may like the prodigal son, return to his father's house—his notes and former training; therein lies the bonanza of his success. To those who have striven constantly we bid them KEEP on; for there is a rich harvest in store for them which only souls who strive are born to reap. I thank the people of Chicago for their loyal support to me during these six years of my strivings among them. I wish to thank the committee who has arranged the reception this afternoon, the artists who are contributing to its success, the friends here gathered and the speakers for the pleasing and flattering expressions they have made. I can assure you that it is with a sense of deep regret that I shall say good bye to the home ties of Chicago, even though I perform the graifying duty of returning to my family and home. N. A. A. C. P. FURNISHES SEN- ATORS DATA ON LYCH. Following the action of the Senate Steering Committee on August 30 in placing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill on the program for consideration at the present session of Congress, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent to those members of the Senate who are expected to support the bill on the floor full and authentic data on lynching, as announced by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. This data consists of authentic statistics, and figures giving the number of known lynchings that have taken place in the United States during the past thirty-three years, together with the names of the victims, the place of the lynchings, circumstances and the alleged crime charged. These figures will be especially valuable in contradicting the argument which is certain to be repeated in the Senate that Nogroes are lynched only for the crime of rape. Similar data was furnished by the N.A. A. C. P. when the Anti-Lynching Bill was being considered in the House of Representatives and the friends of the Bill in the House were able to meet with facts and figures the false statements made by the Congressmen from the South. In addition to statistics and figures 红 Memorial Exersices Will Be Held At the Wendell Phillips High School Sunday Afternoon, September 24, in Honor of the Late Bishop Fallows.

Many reports in these pamphlets of burnings alive at the stake are taken verbatim from accounts which appeared in the newspapers of the communities in which the burnings took place. This forestalls any contention which might be made that the horrible details are exaggerated. Each Senator has been furnished with this material. SUMMER AND LIFE, ALIKE FLEETING By Dr. M. A. Majors The summer is going fast like the weeks, months and years, Like fleeting life that makes us some- times shed old tears. The falling leaves, the drooping vines are fading fast. And Nature seems to say life cannot last. Summer is life to weed and grass, to trees and foliage. Born of the strife of wintry winds that vent their gage. And Spring's intention breathing life to every thing. That grows. Harp-tuned that birds may sing. All Nature bent in June's warm, sultry days produce, The nourishment and fruits that ripen for our use. The summer sun pours life into our frames through heat Which brings us strength to live on what we eat. July was warmer still—her brush from Nature's studio In great profusion of colors made a gaudy show. Then August came, full charged with summer's waning tune. To parch and crisp the foliage of June. And now the breath of Autumn fore-runner to chilly rays. Brings end to life that flourished in June days. For summer has gone, and death is everywhere. Life is but a breath of God's pure air. SENEGALAIS VETERAN ROBBED AT NEW ORLEANS Jean Ferand, 22 years old, a member of the 3rd Regiment of Trailleurs Senegalais, was robbed of his clothes and passport last week at New Orleans, La. He was told that he could get work and plenty of money in Chicago and came here where his story was told. Fernand could speak very little English but through friends at the Urban League and the French Consul it was learned that he was working on a steam line running out from Marseilles, France to Pensacola, Florida and was left stranded at Pensacola from where he went to New Orleans, was robbed and finally made his way to Chicago. Through the good offices of the Urban League, Fernand was found a lodging place, given a job and the French Consol is making an effort to get his passport papers straightened out.

Once the farmer swathed his wheat with the cradle and raked and bound it by hand. Then the horse-drawn reaper appeared, then the McCormick binder, and finally the great mechanical tractors of the present, each of which hunt two binders. Once also, the antiquated flail "resounded from morning to night" on the best of the farms. Then horses were used to tread on the straw, and then came the treadmill thresher, the last of which went out some fifteen years ago. Today tractor threshers do the work. Tribute to Men of Woods. I like very much the society of woodmen. . . . I don't know any men who are so complete masters of their business and of the secluded but delicious world in which they live.
