THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1923 MR. JUSTICE WILLIAM E. DEVER, RUNNING ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET FOR THE NOMINATION FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST OPPOSITION AT THE PRIMARIES, RECEIVED ALMOST ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX THOUSAND VOTES. HON. WILLIAM A. CUNNEA WAS NOMINATED FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO BY THE SOCIALIST PARTY. MOST OF THE ALDERMEN WHO HAVE IN THE PAST HAD THE MORAL COURAGE TO STAND UP IN THE CITY COUNCIL AND FIGHT AND CONTEND FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE, WERE RE-ELECTED TO IT ON TUESDAY. ALDERMAN LOUIS B. ANDERSON CAME IN UNDER THE WIRE AHEAD OF ALL HIS BITTER OPPONENTS IN THE SECOND WARD. T. ARNOLD HILL, RUNNING SECOND WITH 2,572; A. L. WILLIAMS THIRD WITH 1,293; THE OTHER CANDIDATES MAKING A MIGHTY POOR SHOWING. HON. ROBERT R. JACKSON WAS RE-ELECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE NEW THIRD WARD AS PREDICTED IN THE LAST ISSUE OF THIS PAPER. The four Republican candidates for the nomination for mayor of Chicago, namely, Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, Hon. Edward R. Litsinger, Hon. Arthur M. Millard and Judge Bernard P. Barasa, went to the mat with each other at the primaries on Tuesday and none of the other contenders for that high honor were in it with the present popular postmaster of Chicago, Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, he receiving 128,704 votes, as against 74,560 for Mr. Litsinger and Mr. Millard received 51,054 as against 46,690 for Judge Barasa, giving Mr. Lueder 54,144 over Mr. Litsinger and the other would-be mayors of this city. It was well indeed that the Republicans of this city gave Mr. Litsinger a good, sound trouncing, for he is very cold, selfish, hoggish and struts or walks as though he owned the whole earth and all of creation; that this grand old world was thrown together for his special benefit. Only a few months ago he was reelected one of the members of the Board of Review of Cook county with a very small majority at his back and at once his head swelled up so large that he labored under the false impression that the people were crying for him for mayor of Chicago and then for president of the United States in 1924. It seems hard for him to realize that the fates have decreed that that time will never come on this earth. The other candidates whom the people be called upon to vote for at the election Tuesday, April 3, are as follows: Republican—Mayor, Arthur C. Lueder; clerk, William H. Cruden; treasurer, John V. Healy. Democrat—Mayor, William E. Dever; clerk, Al F. Gorman; treasurer, John A. Cervenka. Socialist—Mayor, William A. Cunnea; clerk, Pierce L. Anderson; treasurer, Richard H. Howe. Congressman Second District—(To fill vacancy)—Rep., Morton D. Hull; Dem, Barratt O'Hara. Aldermen Elected to the City Council The following aldermen have been elected to the council at the first clatter out of the box and so far their troubles are over for two years more. To make it more plain, no one will be compelled to vote for them at the regular election Tuesday, April 3. The newly elected aldermen from the respective wards and their majorities follow: Ward 1, Ald. John J. Coughlin, 6,451; 2, Ald. Louis B. Anderson, 1,037; 3, Ald. R. R. Jackson, 1,057; 4, Ald. U. S.

No. 24 Entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago. II. Under Act of March 8, 1879. JUDGE HENRY M. WALKER CONTINUES TO MAKE A SPLENDID RECORD ON THE MUNICIPAL COURT In 1920, Hon. Henry M. Walker was elected one of the judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago, and he was assigned to the small claims court, which was at that time two or three thousand untried cases behind and Judge Walker pitched in and by working hard early and late, day and night, that within sixty days from that time he had his docket all cleaned up. For a short time past Judge Walker has been sitting at the East Chicago Avenue branch of the Municipal Court, where he very successfully measures out justice with an even hand. He has no sympathy for men and women who are slaves to drinking moonshine, nor for members of the Ku Klux Klan, neither has he any patience with men who are brutal in their treatment of their wives and children. Judge Walker always has heavy fines in store for them or a place reserved for them in the bridewell. It must be said to the credit of Judge Walker that he is fair in his treatment of colored people and all others who violate the laws for the first time, but the second time he may be more severe in dealing out justice to them.

THE INTERRACIAL MOVEMENT IN THE SOUTH Dr. James Bond, Secretary Kentucky Interacial Commission be worked out in a day. It recognizes in the language of George Madden Martin, that prejudices are stubborn and that to overcome them is not a task for limited sympathies, and petty Interracial Commission Like most movements of its kind, the Inter-racial Movement had its birth in a great crisis. During the war the white and colored people of the South had, in a very remarkable way, forgotten their differences and united in a supreme effort to win the war. Promises of better things were made to all of our boys, black and white. The Negro soldier accepted these promises at face value. He played well his part in the war. When upon his return to his home-land these promises were not realized, his heart was filled with bitterness. The lines were more tightly drawn and barriers to his progress seemed more stubborn and relentless than ever. As race riots broke out and fear of a general race conflict gripped the country, a group of white men, confident that the good will and co-operation secured between the races during the war could be perpetuated, called into conference a number of representative colored men in the spirit of prayer and supplication, and adopted a platform upon which all could stand. The planks of this platform included justice before the law, the prevention of lynching, and the correction of other injustices to the Negro. Some of the most widely-known people of the South accepted places on the Commission, among whom were ministers, college presidents, bishops and capitalists. As a later development, many of the South's leading women have become associated with the movement. The Commission does not pretend to have discovered a short cut to the millennium or to have brought into existence a perfect organization, nor does it believe that it has found a solution to the race problem that can THE NEW YORK TIMES Out at the Primaries of Tues- calling and Election, Tuesday, HON. GEORGE M. MAYPOLE be worked out in a day. It recognizes, in the language of George Madden Martin, that prejudices are stubborn, and that to overcome them is not a task for limited sympathies and petty natures; that it is not a task that can be done by machinery or mere organization; that it is a spiritual task, a task to be carried out in the spirit and according to the ethics of the Man of Galilee. These principles emphasize first the truth that contact is necessary in the solution of any human problem. Differences are at first minimized, then they disappear. In order that the movement should be motivated by Christian principles, the leaders perfected a duly organized commission with membership representing thirteen states and headquarters in Atlanta. In addition to this commission, each of the thirteen states has a commission directing the work in that state. Some eight hundred of the twelve hundred counties in the southern states have organized local committees of representative white and colored people. In thirty-seven years, from 1885 to 1921, there were 437 lynchings in Georgia and only one indictment. In 1922 alone, with eight lynchings, twenty-two persons were indicted, of whom four have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary and fifteen are still to be tried. The evidence in these cases was collected largely by the interracial secretary and committees in Georgia. This is one illustration among many of the effectiveness of the movement. What the Commission needs more than anything else is the confidence of the community, white and colored. It seeks the sympathy and cooperation of the members of the churches and social organizations, to the end that this greatest problem confronting the American people today may be settled by the principles of justice and fair play, and according to the teachings of Jesus. THE JOHN A. ANDREW MEMO RIAL HOSPITAL TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA. ROBERT R. MOTON, PRINCIPAL; WARREN LOGAN, TREASURER Tuskegee Institute, Alabama February 28, 1923 Announcement to the medical profession: Our 12th annual clinic and 5th annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society will be held April 2d to 7th, 1923. We assume that the activities of this Clinical Society are so well known that it is hardly necessary for us to give extensive information at this time. We are arranging a program of papers, lectures and clinical demonstrations, both medical and surgical, which we believe will leave little to be desired by those who attend. At this time we are pleased to name as special attractions, Dr. R. H. Miller of the surgical staff, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and Dr. Wm. B. Breed of the staff of internal medicine. Others will be announced later. We extend a cordial invitation to you to visit and co-operate with us in connection with this program.

CHICAGO. ILLINOIS. SATURDAY. MARCH 3. 1923 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN PUTTING IN HIS TIME TRAMPING THROUGH OLD SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE HE HAS BEEN DOING SOME TALL PRAYING FOR THE LATE UNITED STATES SENATOR, BENJAMIN RYAN TILLMAN. Columbia, S. C.-As I seat myself down in a chair, ink and paper on table and pen in hand to write you a few lines this week. I am shedding tears out of one eye and laughing with the other, laughing the laugh of joy and happiness over what I now behold, shedding tears over the departure of a great man like Senator Ben Tillman, who left this world and left no address where he could be reached by a letter, telegraphic, wireless or radio message. His glory was in abusing some of his citizens in public in order to let the world know that he was really living. He fumed and spouted out his venom and has passed on without any particular reference and the man who he abused is going right on praying like did the Christ, "Father, forgive him." If this prayer has not been answered then the devil has got some good stuff feasting on it today. But let us hope that before his departure from this world he made it all right with the all-forgiving God, and he is now on the inside looking down, and that his spirit is somewhere near the city where the laws are made and heard, the modern Governor, the man who boasts of being a Christian, who addressed the men of brain, the man of culture, the leaders of the race he abused, and declared that he was proud to do so. I think Senator Tillman turned over in his grave and said: "Look here, Governor T. G. McLeod, are you crazy, or what in the hen feathers has happened to you? Can you get away from the old tradition and denounce that which I considered right, lynching black men? Can you stand before a body of Negroes and say to them that no man who is HON. JOHN A. CERVENKA a Christian would lead a mob or even join one?" I would like for the devil or the angels in heaven to release him long enough to look down on Bethel A. M. E. church, to look at that great building being erected in Columbia for Allen University, a modern building in every respect. I wish he could have heard that wonderful sermon by Bishop Joshua A. Jones, from Wilberforce, Ohio, then have seen Presidents John A. Gregg of Wilberforce University, J. L. Lewis of Morris Brown University, G. A. Edwards of Kittrell College, J. A. Jones of Turner College, S. L. Green of Shorter College, J. A. McGhee of Campbell college, A. J. Williams of Paul Quinn College, R. W. Mance of Allen University, and Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education for the A. M. E. church. Just to have heard these men speak. The meeting of the Bishops' Council in Columbia last week brought many prominent men and certainly made a good showing for the race. What wonderful things the Lord hath done for us. I was there, and you will believe me when I tell you that I was in the amen corner, so to speak, and that I mingled with those big men just like I was one of them. All of these men, including myself, were the guests of South Carolina, over which Bishop W. D. Chappell, the great, presides, and I tell you they certainly did say some great things about this man. He got to smell some of his flowers while he was yet having his smaller to function. I know he must have felt good way down in his boots. I have been going some, as you know, for when I wrote that other letter, you remember where I was, and see where I am this day. I reached Jacksonville and my good friend there, Dr. H. Y. Tooks, a leader in the A. M. E. church and presiding elder and Deputy Grand Master of the Florida Masonic Grand Lodge and a scholar of a high order, toted me out to his palatial home, where I spent the night and then started out for this place. I toted alone, for the other fellows were to leave a day later. What do you think? When I got in town I was told that I was to stop with President R. W. Mance and that at his home. I could hardly believe it, but it was true, and among the other guests who were there were Bishops A. J. Carey, of Chicago, and Joshua H. Jones, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Ohio, Noah Williams, of Louisville, Ky., who is slated for missionary secretary; D. M. Baxter, of Philadelphia, manager of A. M. E. Book Concern; R. C. Ransom, of New York, editor of A. M. E. Church Review, and who is to be a bishop in 1924; Rev. Wheeler, Rev. Coyte and one other whose name I do not recall, but I do know that I was there. Mrs. Mance and her son and daughter received me like I was a brother or orcle. Now you should see me, for you know after being in company with all these big men my head must have increased in size, and believe me, honey, it has. Now there is Dr. Mance, who is president of Allen University, one of the largest institutions in the south, and who is on his road to the bishopric—he has been a source of inspiration to the young people, and is considered a fine school man. He took care of me, and there was the Rev. Dr. Wiseman, who shared in the honors. I was pumpkins for once in my life, and let the future just take care of itself. I am on my way to heaven. The meeting was held, and all the bishops were present except Bishops H. B. Parks, W. T. Vernon, W. Sampson Brooks, and of course, Bishop Smith was not there, for he has gone home to rest from his labors. There were several bodies meetings. The college presidents had their meetings, the educational board of the A. M. E. church, Bishop I. N. Ross, chairman, and Dr. A. S. Jackson, one of the most prominent laymen in the A. M. E. church, is secretary, and he is the officer who functions, and he is doing some great things in his church and for our race. They had a great meeting. There was a meeting of the Connec- tional Council, and this is becom- ing a great factor in the A. M. E. church under the leadership of that leader of men, Dr. H. Y. Tooks, who is also the campaign manager of Dr. R. A. Grant, who is slated for a bishop in the A. M. E. church, and Dr. Grant is a remarkable man and a wonderful character. He is one of the greatest organizers in Florida. These men are looking into the future for the race and for their church. It pays to get in touch with these men. Most all the campaigns were launched at this meeting. But it would be of interest to you to know just a little something about that sermon of Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Ohio, who was at one time president of Wilberforce, and who is now behind Dr. John A. Gregg, to send him to the bench and he has given to the world a son who will succeed Dr. Gregg. Now to the sermon. He discussed in it "The Greatest Thing in the World." He said among other things: "Much has been said about race differences and race ills by way of finding a panacea. There is no panacea except the law of love applied to race relationships. Too many race questions or problems are sought to be settled by human intellectual processes which are always colored by feelings of human passion and human conceit which causes one race to hold itself above another and cherish unjust feelings one toward the other and with these human weaknesses they proceed to solve their problems while the fact is that there is no solution outside of the law of love put into practice in all of our human relationships. It is good for the white man, it is good for the black man, it is good for all men of any race and is HON U. S. SCHWARTZ alone the cure for all ills and differences. "At the close of the world war, three of the most powerful men on earth met in Paris and wrote the treaty of Versailles announcing gloriously to the world that they had arranged the instrument and scheme which would guarantee world peace and settle all racial and national questions. They were so full of opinion of their ability to lay down the principles and laws and conditions that would insure peace, tranquility and prosperity that they did not mention the word, will or law of God in this great document, which left the document so human and weak that before the ink was dry war broke out, which shows the futility of the attempt of man to settle world questions without God, and God's ways of settling them. "The world in its wisdom has tried many a scheme for the maintenance of peace and happiness, all of which have ignominiously failed except the fundamental principles announced by the Man of Gallilee. His dictum is that love is the law of life and is the panacea for all human ills and social order." I would like to say more about this, but I must tell you one or two things which happened. The Bishop played 1920 191 191 HON. WILLIAM R.

Fountain takes up Alabama, which is demanding the attention of a conservative, careful man, and they have it in Bishop Fountain. Texas is to have another conference, and this was decided by the Bishops and the new conference will meet next fall. This means that the work down there is spreading, and we congratulate Bishop William Decker Johnson, and that will mean the elevation of the Rev. S. J. Johnson to the position of Secretary of the Church Extension Society with headquarters in Washington, D. C. The woods are full of candidates, and some will be elected and some will just take the usual trip up Salt River. I am keeping in mind the big meetings of the summer, commencing with the National Race Congress on May 2 at Washington, then the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, June 18, Hot Springs, the National Negro Business League, Hot Springs in August; the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, August, New York, and then will follow the National Baptist convention in Los Angeles, Cal., September 5, and if there are others will let you know. CHARLES E. STUMP. 191 al from the Fourteenth Ward. and Women in His Ward Voted BOOK CHAT, BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. "PINEY WOODS AND ITS STORY." By Lawrence C. Jones. Published by The Fleming H. Revell Co., New York City. Price $1.50. Postage 10c extra. This story follows along the line of a series of autobiographies, headed by the world-famous, "Up From Slavery." It recites the early struggles of an ambitious colored youth for an education and his later success in building up, by slow degrees, a colored school. With Edwards of Alabama, with Holzclaw of Mississippi. Lawrence Jones of Piney Woods has made a very acceptable, interesting story of his life and work. Mr. Jones' childhood was not one of great privations, but you early see the boy's tenacity of purpose, his determination to put through any job that he undertakes. Among the pictures you have is that of a little boy, going on his newspaper route and finding at its end that a hole in his pocket has left him penniless. It is night, there is a church, festival which he has expected to attend where he will be warm and merry and well fed. But the lost pennies, nickles and dimes must be found. So, borrowing a lantern, he spends hour after hour retracing his route and picking up one of the lost money but fifty-five cents. He goes to bed hungry and cold, but with strengthened will. This will carries him through high school and college where he works his way, and brings him at last to the pinelands of Mississippi, there to start a rural school. Lawrence Jones was not a southerner going back to the people of his childhood. He was an Iowan, accustomed to the free life of the West, to comradeship with white boys, to that unconscious fellowship that is the kind worth having. He might have made a success in many lines in the North, but the spirit of the pioneer was upon him and he turned to where he felt his people most needed him. His university was Mark Hopkins'—log with a teacher on one end and a scholar on the other. His school began literally this way, out of doors, on logs under trees. Noth- HAMPTON STUDENTS PRESENT WIDE RANGE OF NEGRO MUSIC R. Nathaniel Dett Conducts Glee Club and Plays Original Compositions Before Large Audience in Richmond City Auditorium Richmond, Va.—The Hampton Institute Glee Club of 26 men, with R. Nathaniel Dett, well-known Negro composer and pianist, serving as conductor, recently gave a concert of religious classics, American Negro folksongs and their derivatives, and modern compositions, including the work of such Negro composers as Colebridge-Taylor, Work and Johnson, in the Richmond City Auditorium under the auspices of the Delvers and Big Fifty Clubs of Richmond. The Hampton musicians and singers were given a hearty reception by a large and representative audience. The program follows: (1) Religious classics: Beside the Manger (ancient carol), Sanctus (Schubert), and From Thy Throne (Gluck), by Hampton Institute Glee Club. (2) Piano solo, Gavotte in B Minor (Bach), by Gerald B. Wilson. (3) American Negro Folksongs: Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler, Daniel Saw the Stone, 'Tis Me, and Bernard Hume Midland HON. JOSEPH O. KOSTNER Re-elected to the City Council from the New Thirty-fourth Ward. Program ing could discourage him, and so one building came, and, later, others. Jealousy, that most serious defect in the Negro race, came too, but the majority in the community stood by him, the children flocked to be taught, and the Piney Woods School took its place among the group of noble institutions that have been built, despite discouragement and opposition, despite prejudice and ignorance that would down all but the bravest. The battle-field shows no bravery greater than that of the pioneers in Negro education in the South. One wishes that a volume like this did not have to be so frankly commercial, so given over to the idea of getting money for Piney Woods. Its optimism, and this is true of all the biographies of which I have spoken, is sometimes forced, and its recital of the names of the board of trustees, of the curriculum and of the successful graduates, is decided in artistic. These books begin so naturally but end like a Saturday Evening Post story, not with an eye to reality but with an eye to the advertisements. To get folk to spend money on anything we must get them in good humor with themselves and the world. Thus Mr. Jones spoils the great moment in the book when he is taken by a mob to be lynched. Instead of giving the story in detail, as he can, he slurs over it, leaving you with the feeling that to have been thrown on a pile of logs, under a tree on which you were to be hung, was a mere unpleasant incident, the important fact being that the mob grew kinder under your oratory and let you off with a collection. He puts this story in the chapter entitled "Messages of Hope." In the same way he says little regarding the shocking lack of public education for the colored children of his state, reminding us again and again of his good white friends. Well, perhaps it's only because we refuse to see life as it really is that we are able to live it at all. There is no such frightful, un-American pessimism as this in "Piney Woods," but a strong faith in God and country coupled with a firm determination to put this faith into a life of daily, active service.

HENRY ROE CLOUD, PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN INDIAN INSTITUTE, AT WICHITA, SPEAKS FOR INDIANS AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE. MISS DAWES SENDS GREETINGS. Hampton, Va.—Temperament, art, and history are the American Indian's gifts to our National life, according to the Rev. Henry Roe Cloud, president of the American Indian Institute at Wichita, Kan., who delivered the principal address at the public exercises, which were recently held in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, to celebrate the passage of the Dawes Act. Mr. Roe Cloud, after referring to the present widespread discussion of race problems, stated the method of Jesus. Then he outlined in detail the original possessions of the American Indians and the possibility of using them for the benefit of all Americans. "Solutions of the race question," he said, "are easy to give but hard to follow. Many today advocate migration as a solution. They say: 'Let the Negroes return to Africa, the Jews to Palestine and the Indians to old Mexico.' Jesus worked where he was and bore the burdens of His race. He thereby solved the problems of His race; He solved all race problems. Jesus was energized by love. "The Indian's peculiar nature—his poise, his calmness, his self-possession, and his equilibrium of temperament—is in itself a gift, when he finds himself self-controlled among those who indulge in heated argument. The Indian, living under open skies and on broad prairies, betook himself to meditation and protracted prayer in which he came to realize the power of the Great Spirit: His mind roamed in vast expanses and got a conception of the majesty of God. "The Indian has one of the distinctive arts of the world. This art could easily enrich the treasure-house of the Nation and might well become the marvel of the civilized world. The Indian can also lend that antiquity which America needs, because, as compared with the European nations, the people of the United States constitute an infant nation. "When Michaelangelelo was painting his 'Last Judgment' and Leonardo da Vinci was painting his 'Mona Lisa', the American Indians were in their prime." Mr. Roe Cloud made a plea that men and women should give themselves quickly to the task of service which requires patience, toil, and suffering, in their day and generation. Mr. Roe Cloud also paid a tribute to Hampton Institute as "the moral fountain head and intellectual energizer of the Negro and Indian races, which is making all-round character-building the paramount aim." **Indians Make Good** Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who presided, in introducing Mr. Roe Cloud, outlined the provisions of the Dawes Act, or AT GRANT'S CHAPEL Rev. H. W. Jamison, national grand master of U. B. F. & S. M. T. of the United States and jurisdiction, conducted services during the day last Sunday at Grant's A. M. E. Church, 4600 Evans Ave., at which time a fine day was enjoyed.

WILLIAM A. CUNNEA The Socialist Candidate for Mayor of Chicago, Who Will Wage a Brisk Fight in an Effort to Become the Next Mayor of Chicago. the so-called "Land in Severity Bill." —an Indian Magna Charta, which was signed by President Cleveland. This act affected 119 out of 169 reservations. He also gave the history of the subsequent Indian legislation, which has made it possible for 200,000 Indians to possess allotments totaling 40,000,000 acres of land and valued at half a billion dollars. "About 43,000 Indians," he said, "are now farming nearly 900,000 acres of land, as compared with 20,000 who cultivated 550,000 acres ten years ago." Dr. Gregg read Senator Dawes' memorable letter of March 12, 1887, addressed to the late Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute from 1893 until his death in 1917. Senator Dawes declared that the new law threw the gate wide open to every Indian to make progress in proportion to his education in farming and home-building. Senator Dawes saw that the important thing was to have the Indian resolve to be a man and to do well one thing at a time. Doctor Gregg then read a cordial letter of greeting, and encouragement from Miss Anna L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., who is the daughter of the late Senator Henry L. Dawes, who worked so successfully for the passage of the Indian citizenship bill and who became the head of the commission that carried the bill into action. Roland B. Sundown, a Seneca Indian from Akron, N. Y., dressed in Indian costume, sang in its primitive form a song—"The Dancers Will Join Hands"—for which an elaborate version has been provided by Charles Wakefield Cadman. This song, called "White Dawn Is Stealing," was sung by Pearl E. Howe, a Sioux Indian from Fort Thompson, S. D. Progress Through Education Wheeler C. Ervin of Darlington, S. C., a member of the Hampton Institute senior class, speaking for the colored students, declared that both Negroes and Indians would make progress through education. Both races, he stated, had had somewhat of the same background and both races had taken advantage of their opportunities. "The progress of the Negro race, for example, in health, wealth and morals," he said, "has been due to increased educational facilities. There can be no democracy until illiteracy has been decreased and until education has reached every fireside in America. "Both races are asking for a square deal and a new conception of democracy. They shall not be satisfied until each member of the two races is educated and has taken his or her place as a citizen. The truth shall make us free." Mr. and Mrs. E. Lee Hughes have returned to the city from Madison, Wis., where they have spent the past year. RETURNS TO NEW YORK Homer L.
