Douglas Bank Opens Doors January 1st
The president of the Douglas National Bank, Mr. P. W. Chavers left the city October 23, for a conference with the Comptroller of Currency at Washington, D. C., carrying with him the final organization papers, required by the treasury department preparatory to opening the bank. His trip was very successful and resulted in the announcement to an overflow and enthusiastic gathering of the stockholders, that the bank would open January first.
Upon the insistent invitation of the prominent citizens of St. Louis, and Detroit, the whole membership of the board of directors appeared at large mass meetings in those cities on October 31 and November 7, respectively, disposing in the aggregate of more than sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00) worth of stock, thus bringing to a close the record breaking stock selling campaign. The officials of the bank state that with the exception of a small number of shares subscribed for but unpaid, the sale of stock has been brought to a close.
It is also stated that extensive improvements will be begun at once and equipment installed so that for the first time in our history the doors of a NATIONAL bank operated by the Race will be thrown open to the public early in January.

Put Freedmen's Hospital On Preferred List
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 19.—Praise has been given the work of the Freedmen's Hospital, of Washington, D. C., which is under the management of Surgeon-in-Chief William A. Warfield, and Assistant Surgeon Thomas E. Jones. The Freedmen's Hospital is the largest hospital in the United States which is under the management of colored men. According to the report of the American College of Surgeons, based on a survey which included personal visits to every hospital of one hundred beds or ever in the United States and Canada, hospital service in the District of Columbia has shown a marked advance in the past year.
Among the institutions of the District of Columbia which were given a place on the "approved list" of the hospitals of the United States and Canada, the Freedmen's Hospital was included along with the Garfield Memorial Hospital, the George Washington University Hospital, the Georgetown University Hospital, Providence Hospital, and the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital. Dr. Franklin H. Martin, secretary-general of the American College of Surgeons, declared "the institutions above proved that they are giving the best of scientific and medical care to their patients. Aided by the great educational foundations, they have carried on actual visits to the medical men, making condition 1021 shows a marked improvement in hospital services the country over, and places the District of Columbia in the forefront of states which are active in medical progress." The Freedmen's Hospital is closely associated with the Howard University, its grounds being adjacent to the University grounds and many graduates of the Howard University School of Medicine enter the hospital as internes each year.

SCHOOLGIRLS IN FLIGHT AS FLAMES LEAP
ANNISTON, Ala., Nov. 19.—Barber Memorial seminary for girls was burned to the ground Thursday morning, entailing a loss ranging between $75,000 and $100,000, the building being insured in the amount of $25,000. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin.
The burning college building made a spectacular sight, and hundreds of local people hurried to the scene when it became known that the building was burned on the same site in 1897. Dr. J. B. Shearer, president of the college, made the statement Monday that half a dozen fires were discovered in different parts of the building about 6:30 o'clock this morning, a blaze in the attic burning rapidly while the college people were trying to extinguish the ones on the lower floors.
The local college was built in 1895 by Mrs. Margaret M. Barger, a wealthy Philadelphia woman, the first structure burning about six months after the first session of the school was started. The college had an enrollment of 112 pupils, 100 of them being in the college at the time of the fire.
The bulk of the belongings of the students and faculty members were removed from the building ahead of the blaze. Dr. Shearer's printing outfit, the manuscript for several books and part of the college equipment being burned.
Garvey Retracts "Passing" Charge Against Briggs
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Marcus Garvey, president of the Black Star Line, Ine., is to retract the statement which he made in his newspaper concerning Cyril Briggs, African Blood, Brotherhood and editor of The Crusader Magazine, to the effect that Briggs was white man "passing for Negro." And with the retraction must go a public apology for having made the statement, according to claims made by Briggs.
Attorney Wilfred Smith, representing Garvey when the case was called Friday night, November 11, at the 10th Manifestates' District Court before Justice Renald, pleaded that his client be permitted to make a retraction and that a further adjournment be given to effect such purpose. Justice Renald left the question up to Briggs to decide, and the latter allowed the plea of Attorney Smith that his client be permitted to make a retraction, whereupon Justice Renald announced the case adjourned to November 29, when if retraction has not been made, or is not satisfactory to the complainant, the action will be resumed.
BOY, 18, MURDERS AGED WOMAN FOR $50.00
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 19.—Frank Davis, 18, who was arrested for the murder of Mrs. Jennie Bradley, 50 years of age, on Nov. 2, has confessed his crime. Davis, who was a neighbor of the woman, told the police that he met Mrs. Bradley on her way home and walked beside her until they came to a lonely spot known as Bell's Crossing. There he picked up a heavy club and beat the woman to death. He says he committed the crime "o'brien knew she was carring at the time. This is the third murder committed in the Argentine district lately. Three weeks ago Mrs. Mattie Bailey and Mrs. W. A. Grady were brutally murdered, and no definite clues to the guilty party were found.
Skidding Auto Crushes Small Boy's Body
Alfred Woodlawn, 4 years of age, was crushed to death Wednesday afternoon when the wheels of an automobile truck passed over his body. The accident occurred in an alley north of 34th St., between Forest and Calumet Aves., and came as the result of the skidding of the automobile upon the slippery pavement. The car was the property of a grocery company at 345 E. 35th St., and was operated by Ben Cannon. At the inquest which was held at Provident Hospital Thursday, Cannon was relieved of criminal liability.
HAITI ASSEMBLY DISSOLVED ON U.S. ORDERS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Dissolution of the Haitian assembly, which had refused to adopt a new constitution permitting ratification of a treaty with the United States, drawn according to the demands of the American government, was forced by the American expeditionary command under "orders from Washington," Brig. Gen. Eli K. Cole, of the Marine corps, testified last week before a senate committee. Gen. Cole said his instructions were to get the decree of dissolution from President D'Artiguenave, is possible, but to use military force if necessary.
Split Over Constitution
The treaty between the two countries required a revision of the Haitian constitution, the witness said, in order that, the treaty provisions might be legalized, and the breach between the Haitian assembly and the president was over adoption of three of these revisions.
The assembly not only refused to incorporate these points in a new constitution but were on the point of ratifying a new constitution. The D'Artinguenueva government had prepared a constitution in accordance with terms of the United States which had been sent to Washington. The Haitian president, Gen. Cole added, "spilled the beans," by making public all the correspondence bearing on this draft.
Full Authority from Washington
Gen. Cole said he notified Washington on June 18, 1916, that he would proceed to effect the dissolution of the Haitian assembly, having exhausted every argument to overcome its opposition to the constitutional issue. He replied to this message, he said, giving him full discretionary powers, but expressing the desire that force be not used unless necessary.
Both Gen. Cole and Brig. Gen. L. T. W. Waller, also of the Marine corps, agreed that the United States would have to maintain martial law in Haiti.

URBAN LEAGUE PLACES 614 DURING MONTH
The Industrial Department of the Chicago Urban League found work for 614 persons in the month of October. This is more than the total placements of the Illinois Free Employment office in either Aurora, Decatur, Springfield, Danville or Joliet. Out of these, Aurora came nearest with 604. In Chicago, the Illinois Free Employment Office placed a total of 4,109 persons and in the whole state, 9,982.
The League is happy to give out these figures which show that it compares very well with other similar agencies. The League has not only sent persons where calls have come for help, but has succeeded in placing Negroes in eleven (11) new business places which formerly had not used the League service.

WATSON WANTS GEORGIA JURY TO INDICT "LING"
Charge Him With Larceny
ATLANTA, Nov. 19.—A county licitor has asked the grand jury to indict Henry Lincoln Johnson national Republican committee, recently nominated recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia by President Harding. Charges were made in response to a request by Senator Watson, who charged larceny after trust.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The Senate Committee on District Affairs has ordered that the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia be favorably reported in the Senate. The vote in the committee was strictly along party lines, six Republicans voting for and two Democrats voting against Johnson.
Although the Senate committee has favorably reported on Johnh's appointment, it is by no means certain that the Senate will confirm the "Georgia Peach." Several Democrats, including Watson, of Georgia, are preparing to fight confirmation on the floor of the Senate.
It will be remembered that the Senate has once before refused to confirm Johnson on the strength of charges of irregular handling of funds during the national campaign.
COUNTY MUST PAY DAMAGES TO LYNCHED MAN'S WIDOW
LAURENS, S. C., Nov. 19—In April, 1920, a mob of howling Southern-erners took Joseph Stewart, of this city from the jail and hanged him from a river bridge. A few hours earlier he had had a difficulty with a party of young white men. One or two of them received knife cuts in the fight.
Last week Judge McIver, of the court of common pleas, directed a verdict in favor of Mrs. Henrietta Stewart, his widow, who was suing the county for $500.
Suit for the amount provided by law was brought by Mrs. Stewart as administrix and the court directed a verdict for the full amount after the hearing had been completed.

U. S. LYNCHINGS SHOCK WORLD SAYS WHITE
In an address at the Wendell-Phillips High School Wednesday night, Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, declared that the nations of Europe view Americans as barbarians and look with horror and awe upon the orgy of lynching in this country. Mr. White, who has just returned to this country from Europe as a delegate to the Pan-African Congress, also told of the work of that body.
Effect in Africa
"A delegate from South Africa reported at the congress that the murder of South African colored people is becoming a common thing," Mr. White said. "He was convinced that the race hatred responsible is due to lynchings in the United States, to the fact that our federal government has taken no decisive steps to wipe them out, to the wide publicity given the lynchings in foreign newspapers.
"The British press, I was astonished to learn, is 'playing up' lynchings, whether from a deliberate desire to inflame the people of Great Britain I cannot say. Englishman after Englishman said to me: 'Yours must be a barbarous country and your people a barbarous people, for none but a barbarous government and a barbarous people would permit unpunished the burning at the stake of human beings, no matter what their color.'"
Seeks Race Betterment
The Pan-African congress, Mr. White said, seeks to consolidate the forces working for the betterment of the colored race by the establishment of contact between world leaders to the end that there may be a solution of the negro problem on economic principles. An international bureau to be established in Paris, has been authorized, and arrangements are being made for a special division of the bureau of labor, league of nations to make a world inquiry into conditions of life, and eventually prevent its exploitation. The problems of the colored race in Africa are being carefully weighed by the leaders of colored people in nations throughout the world. Africa, Mr. White said, will soon be a bone of contention among the powers. Future wars may be fought, he thinks, for the spoils of African resources.

When he complained to his landlord, Harris resented the complaint, and a fight ensued. He finally found solace in sleep when Harris administered a knife wound across his forehead. He was taken to the Provident Hospital for resuscitation.
Our Valdosta Agent Cancels His Order
The following letter, which was received from our agent, in Valdosta, Ga., speaks for itself.
"Dear Sirs: I have come to the conclusion that I cannot sell your papers in this city any longer. The white people in this city used to not care if a Negro paper came here, but what is it now? All the people are afraid to be seen with a colored paper, because if a white man sees you with that paper, he will make you leave the city.
The other day I was down at the railroad station with about five copies of the WHIP in my hand, when a policeman walked up and asked me what I was doing selling those d---d nigger papers. He said I ought to know I couldn't sell those 'nigger' papers and stay in this town. If you continue to send papers here you will put me in some trouble. So please don't send me any more papers if you want me to stay out of trouble.

CIGARETTE THEFT BREAKS UP JAZZ PARTY
The crash of jazz music and the rhythmic thind of ragtime feet reigned supreme in Flat 10, 3757 Indiana Ave. Sunday night until it was discovered that a package of cigarette was missing from an overcoat pocket of one of the guests of the party. A search instituted and Valerin Gladney, 23, 3753 Indiana Ave., was found in a secluded nook calmly puffing one of the purloined pills.
The party turned to a riot, and four or five of the irate guests chased the cigarette thief into the streets, where he fight continued.
When the wagon arrived, the party had adjourned, the guests hurriedly repaired to their respective homes, and left Gladney cut and bleeding on the sidewalk. At the Provident Hospital he was found to have a cut six inches long on the right side of the neck.

THE CHICAGO WHIP
|%. Y. Lawyer First H
| To Be Elected On
| Democratic Ticket |
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 19.—
John Williams Smith, a lawyer having
offices in the Havemeyer Building,
No, 26 Cortlandt Street, and living at
No. 145 West 138th Street, who was
elected Alderman in the 21st District,
Harlem, Tuesday, is believed by his
friends to be the only black man ever
elected to public office on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the United States.
‘The district lies between 136th and
114th Street, east aitd west. The ter-
ritory now included in it had been
nominally Republican for years, the
Republicans usually carrying it by
about 2,000 when it was the old 26th
Aldermanic Distriet, formerly the 23rd
‘Assembly District,’ of which Moses
McKee was Republican leader.
Smith, who has ptactised law here
twenty years but mever has held of-
fice, was nominated by the Democratic
Party against George W. Harris, a
Republican, the present incumbent,
and Frank Poree, Socialist. He won
by 105 plurality.
In explanation of his record break-
ing election Mr. Smith said yesterday:
“The colored people have awakened
to the fact that politics is no longer
a religion but a business. They are
awake to the fact’ that they should
support men and issues and not par-
ties. Te negroes of New York do
not associate, Southern Democracy
with Northern Democracy, nor ‘Lily
White’ Southern Republicanism with
Northern Republicanism. They realize
‘intimate local questions like 5-cent
fares, housing and/ rent legislation,
sanitary conditions and police protec-
‘tion concern them more than nationat
issues. Another contributing factor
was the attitude of the National Ad-
ministration excluding the negro from
active participation in politics in the
South.”
Smith was born in Petersburg, Va,
Jan. 4, 1875; educated in_ public
Schools; graduated from Peabody
High School; came to New York in
1895; did hotel and elevator work
while attending night law school; was
admitted to the bar in 1901, and grad:
uated from New York University Law
School in the class of 1902. He is a
member of many fraternal and civic
organizations. In 1914 Frank An-
drews Fall, Bursar of New York Uni.
versity, contributing fo a syndicated
series, of articles on’ “Worth While
Folk,” wrote of Smith as a man who
had come to New York with nothing
in his pockets, worked his way
through university and established
himself as a lawyer—a thing any boy
with definite purpogr, determinatior
Ind perseverance could do irrespectiv
of color or_ wealth.

Then, too, all little, dark-eyed darlings of dusky hue are NOT in institutions. Most of them are without—just without your door. To the shame of Chicago, with its wealthy Negroes and so-called lawmakers, there is little or no provision made for the care and training of Negro dependent children. Like Topsy, they "just growl".

"EVEN AS YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO THE LEAST OF ONE OF THESE, YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME."
THE ADVENT OF OSCAR DE PRIEST into the Third Ward arena is being received with conflicting emotions. While some hailed his coming as a godsend, others there be who viewed it with fear and trembling. It goes without the saying that Oscar De Priest is a powerful factor on any political battleground on which he happens to "pitch his tent." But when he comes into the Third Ward with the open and avowed intention of ridding it of that Pompous Autocrat and Archenemy of Negro Progress, William A. Bither, who has held the whip hand over the Negroes of that district in the name of Mayor Thompson for years, why, even those who are not of the camp of De Priest, are ready and willing to join hands with him to smash the cruel hand of Bither—he who for years has waxed fat on the strength of the almost "solid" Negro vote of this ward and in exchange has given but gingerly of even the smallest crumbs from his well-filled political table.
It is but fair to state that Mr. De Priest has ACHIEVED whatever of honor and public trust he may enjoy. He has EARNED whatever of success has come his way. He is but another proof that LEADERS ARE BORN, NOT MADE. Some that have been made to order are "weighed in the balance and found wanting." They found the mantle of "greatness trust upon them" too weighty for their piny shoulders. Leaders without number have flashed for a moment on the public horizon and then sank inevitably into oblivion, unwept, unhonored and unsung.
But for twenty years the writer has been told OSCAR DE PRIEST has been a forceful figure in the political life of Chicago. It must be understood that Mr. Bither is a leading light in De Priest's own ranks, and his courageous stand can then be more fully appreciated.
If the advent of Oscar De Priest into the Third Ward means the elimination of Bither the right to place the names of Negro candidates on the ticket (and this right has hitherto been denied us) and the distribution of patronage according to our voting strength, then who can blame the Negroes of this community for forming a little coalition of their own in such a cause?
HON. JOSEPH H. HAAS, the best Recorder Cook County ever had, has given more positions to Negroes in his
W. E. H.
office than any of his predecessors. Not only has he given recognition to Negro men, but he has employed in his office many women of the race in various clerical capacities, whose salaries range from $750 to $10 per day. Colored men may find some difficulty in being "placed" in various offices even after having helped to win those offices by their political activities, but the obstacles in the way of Negro men is as nothing compared to those barring the path of the colored woman. It is unfortunately the exception for a colored woman to be offered anything more than a menial position, such as attendant, cleaning, etc., regardless of her intellectual ability or services rendered.
HON. JOHN F. DEVINE, Clerk of the PROBATE COURT, WHO EMPLOYS COLORED STENOGRAPHERS in his office, and HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS are TWO NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS to the general rule. WOMEN WILL PLEASE REMEMBER.
The Women's Republican Club of the Third Ward has enlarged the scope and field of its activities and is now, thanks to the earnest work of a few determined women, the Colored Women's Association of Cook County Headquarters will soon be announced and various committees who are perfecting their plans will soon announce their programs. The number of women interested in the affairs of government is negligible compared to the masses and particularly is this true of our women. Through affiliation with churches, fraternal organizations and social clubs THE COLORED WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF COOK COUNTY hopes to teach every colored woman how to intelligently use the ballot. Each ballot rights carry with it not only certain privileges, but grave responsibilities. When one plea to consider that one can neither live nor marry, be born or buried without coming under the jurisdiction of some law, either municipal or federal then.
you begin to realize that the results of political action reach not only around but within the four walls of home. So for that reason if no other the women of the community should be interested in politics. So join the Colored Women's Association of Cook County and learn how to protect not only your own interests, but those of your men and your children.

On November 14th the best program since its beginning was rendered at Masonic Hall by the U. N. I. A. Dr. C. L. Williams of Chicago was the principal speaker and made a very logical instructive and enthusiastic talk, outlining the principals upon which Garveyism is founded. He traced the Negro back into the dim past for four thousand years and showed where civilization originated. His subject was "A New Light from an Old Star." The literary and musical numbers on program were good and well rendered. The participants were Mrs. Coleman, solo; Miss Edith Bradley, recital; Current Topics, Inman E. Foster; Sermonette, Rev. S. L. Edwards. The U. N. I. A. orchestra rendered a selection. Several new members were added to the roll.

“THE GRAND”.
“A Hole in the Wall” draws big
crowds. On last Monday night the
famous Dunbar Players presented
Fred Jackson's great spiritual play, “A
Hole Gn the Wali,” staged by Frank
Armstrong, a resident dramatist. The
cast of characters as they first appear—
Limpy Jim, Madam Mystera’s assist-
ant, J. Lawrence Criner; Deagon from
the Near East, by Charles Olden; Mar-
ret Lyons, a client, by Elizabeth Wil-
Tams; Danny McKeaver, alias “The
Fox,” a thief, by Lionel Montagas;
Gordon Grant, a reporter-detective, by
Andrew Bishop; Jean Oliver, by Cleo
Desmond; Chief ‘Inspector of Police,
by, Solomon Bruce; Nichols, his right
hand-man, by Arthur Ray; Mrs. An-
drew, Rantsay, an elderly widow, by
Susie Sutton; Cora Thompson, a thief,
by Isabelle Jackson.
‘The theme’ of this play is, mystifying
anid keeps one always in the spirit oi
susperise. The opening scene is laid
in the medium’s den,*and the heavy
dramatic. work of J. Lawrence. Crine
can:be highly appreciated. The work
of Charles Olden, as Deagon from the
Near East, gnd Lionel Monagas ('"The
Fox’): is excellently protrayed.
‘Andrew Bishop as a reporter-detec-
tive played his part as usual. Cleo
Desmond, as Jean Oliver, lived up to
her usual reputation, Elizabeth Wil-
liam, Susie Sutton, Isabelle Jackson
did their parts well’and deserve much
credit.
Solomon Bruce as Inspector of Po-
licewas fine, and Arthur Ray as his
righthand cian played well that part
Jo not fail to sce this show, as it is
even better than “The Spider,” which
made. such a wonderful hit’ at this
tboke

The ladies are all interested in At-
torney Haynes’ rendition of “King
Love” and as one young bud expressed
it, “He certainly looks the part.” With
this official O. K., Haynes has been
putting in an extra amount of practice
to show up at better than his best

ing role of _Everywoman will appear

porting castes that she has ever had

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
LEO CONEY NOTED JOCKEY IN ACCIDENT
LAUREL, MD., Nov. 11.—Three jockeys were injured, one of them seriously, in a series of accidents that occurred during the running of the program at Laurel Park. Leo Coney, colored, who is now lying in the Franklin Square Hospital, was the pilot most seriously hurt. When his mount was crowded against the fence at the height of a race, the dusky rider was badly cut about the head and his legs and body severely bruised. At first it was feared that his skull had been fractured and he was rushed away in an ambulance to the local hospital, where the attending physician stated last evening that he was resting easy and appeared to be in no immediate danger. An X-ray will be taken to determine whether or not there is concussion. First examination failed to reveal that such was the case.
L. Penman, clever contract pilot of the Harry Payne Whitney stable, and C. Jones, a jumping-rider, were the other jockeys injured. The former had his right leg badly bruised when his mount leaped over a fence and off the track after the finish of a race, while the latter suffered a broken collar bone in a spill during the running of the steeplechase.
Frankie Coltiletti, one of the country's best young riders, has been suspended for the remainder of the meeting and his case held for further investigation as the result of the jam that sent Coney to the hospital. Coltiletti, who had been leading throughout the struggle, a dash of five and a half furlongs, for two-year-olds, with H. P. Whitney's Sedge, handled the race, but the stewards took quick action disqualifying his mount. The decision gave the purse to G. W. J. Bissell's Champlain, which finished second; moved Fancier from third to second position and brought Montara, which had wound up fourth, into the money.
HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 19. — The hard-fought, clean, snappy football game, which teams from Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Hampton Institute played at Hampton under ideal weather conditions and before an enthusiastic audience of over 2000 people, resulted in a victory for Howard by a score of 34 to 0.
The Hampton Institute team, which averaged considerably lighter than the Howard team, whose average went to 185 pounds, played well. Hampton was saved many points by David L. Gunn, who outkicked Howard by 15 years on each punt. Brooks of Howard kicked four goals and missed only one goal.
The officials were E. H. Henderson of Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., referee; Haley Douglass of Harvard, umpire; and Benjamin Washington of Washington Normal School, Washington, D. C., head linesman—all registered American Athletic Union football officials. E. M. Fuller was the Howard Captain and J. B. Coleman was the Hampton Institute captain.
**Five Touchdowns for Howard.**
Neither team scored in the first period, which was a real nip-and-tuck affair.
Howard made the first touchdown in the first two minutes of play during the second period. Kean, Howard quarterback, made a forward pass to Contee, Howard halfback.
The second touchdown was made on another forward pass—Kean to Contee.
Hampton in the third period kicked to Howard across Howard's line for a touchback (ball out 20 yards). Doneghy of Howard received the ball on his 20-yard line and zigzagged his way through the Hampton Institute defense and made an end run of 85 yards for the third touchdown.
The fourth touchdown was made by Payne in an off-tackle play.
The fifth touchdown was made when Payne carried the ball from the 1-yard line.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WINS OPENER
THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WINS OPENER
The Chicago Defender ushered in the basketball season on Monday at the Armory with an impressive victory over the Evanston Arrows by the score of 24 to 11.
The Defenders, though slow at the start, gradually took on speed and ended like a whirlwind, completely dazzling the Arrows, but pleasing the thousand of spectators. At the outset of the game the Evanstonians appeared stronger than they really were, and threatened to hold the Defenders to a small score. Then Sol Butler, of one time broad jump fame, got loose, and after that there was no stopping the Defenders. From then on the basket shooting of Bluitt, Duff, Hubbard and Rivers gratified the audience until the final whistle blew. After the game dancing began. The Defenders, under the tutelage of Dr. A. C. Johnson, is fast rounding into form, and when the season ends Chicago undoubtedly will boast of the championship team of the present season.

Football followers who saw Ink perform a few Sundays ago at Normal Park when the Hammond team played the Chicago Cardinals will welcome this opportunity to see the star in action again. The Morris team has an aggregation of stars and a hot fight will naturally follow when they meet the team which held the Canton Bulldogs to a tie.

NED COURDIN TO COMPETE IN BROOKLYN MEET
BROOKLYN, N. Y., Nov. 9.—The Carlton Y. M. C. A. of Brooklyn will stage a monster athletic attraction on Friday evening, December 16, at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, Brooklyn. Effort and expense are not being spared to make this attraction epoch making in athletic history. In a special event of the meet the New York public will have an opportunity to see Ned Gourdin, the colored athletic star of Harvard, holder of the world's record for the broad jump, winner of the national pentathlon and the man whose name is on the tongues of athletic fans throughout the country. In addition to Gourdin, a number of other men of wide reputation will be seen, among them Carter of Brown University, Jourdain of Harvard and Wefers and Farrell of the New York A. C. An interesting program of events has been drawn up and among several hundred entries there will be seen many popular local stars as well as college athletes and representatives of Sunday schools and other institutions. The meet will be in no sense a colored meet, being open to all comers, but the large number of colored athletes it will assemble will make it a remarkable exhibition of colored achievement in the sport world. The meet is sanctioned by the A. A. U. and will be conducted according to the highest standards of amateur athletics. The prize offered will leave nothing to be desired as to good taste and substantial quality. One band and possibly two will furnish excellent music for the evening, and dancing with room enough for all will follow the meet. The Thirteenth Regiment Armory is one of the most spacious in the country and is well adapted for large affairs of this kind.

Ark. Baptists Run Over Marshall
MARSHALL, Tex. Nov. 19.—Arkansas Baptist College football team met one its old rivals, Bishop College of Marshall, Tex., and defeated it, 14 to 7. It was the first defeat that Bishop has suffered in four years. Baptist was outplayed in the first half, and the score stood 7 to 0 in Bishop's favor, but during the last half Baptist line and back field went wild and held the visitors while they ran two touchdowns. Booker kicked both goals. Bishop's line was punctured repeatedly by Full Back Hooker, who scored the first touchdown. Booker and Rollins, half backs, played a great game on the off tackle plays and receiving passes. Baptist line, composed of Barker, Stephenson, Maiden, J. Johnson, Miller, Brown and J. Jackson, used as their slogan "They shall not pass," and swept through Bishop's line like a tornado, many times stopping Quarter Back Pendleton and his back field in their tracks for losses. Quarter Back Lovings, the little football wizard, was here, there and everywhere, making end runs and receiving forward passes from Barker for long and repeated gains. Bishop is rated as having one of the fastest back fields in the south, and her defeat puts her out of the race for the championship of the southwest. Coach Oliver is challenging any college team south of the Mason and Dixon line to meet the Baptist team to decide the championship of the southwest.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Philadelphia is expecting to entertain the biggest crowd that ever witnessed a football game this fall when Howard meets Lincoln in their annual struggle at the National League Park on Thanksgiving day. The management of the park is making the necessary arrangements on the field so that a better view of the battle on the gridiron warriors can be had by all spectators.
Lincoln Men Confident.
Word has been received here by the followers of the Chester school that Lincoln is fast showing mid-season form under the tutorship of Coach Johnny Shelburne, former Dartmouth College full back. Shelburne will call as his assistants a few weeks before the game the famous Young brothers and "Big" Wheaton of Lincoln fame; Paul Robeson of Rutgers, an all-American end, and Billy Mathews, the former Harvard star.
New Men Show Well.
With these men assisting head coach, Lincoln followers are confident of victory.
Howard Off With Win.
Howard University started off the season with a victory over their opponents, 19 to 0. Most of the Wash-
ington school's letter men returned this year. They are bent on stopping Lincoln again this year, but Lincoln is just as hard at work to redeem herself of the humiliation suffered last year at Howard's hands in Washington. Howard intends to raid Philadelphia, coming with nearly three thousand students and their band. Most of the fraternity men will arrive the day before the game and an open house will be held at all clubs and a "warm time" is predicted in and around the city.
Seats Reasonable.
The range of prices of seats will be about the same as two years ago, namely, front boxes, $2; rea; boxes, $1.50; grand stand, $1. Ushers will be provided so that reserved seat holders will get the seats that their tickets call for. The general supervision of the admission and reception will be under the charge of Mr. C. M. Cain, Y. M. C. A. secretary, Arctic Avenue Branch; Atlantic City, N. J., and a Lincoln graduate. The Howard team will be quartered at the Y. M. C. A. on Christian street, which will also be the headquarters of the Howard men. The Lincoln team will be quartered at the Berean Club. The headquarters of the Lincoln men will be at the Hotel Dale.

Athletic Association had invited them from the hills of Kentucky, to play pitted their football prowess against verberant cheers for the Southerner, curls its lips in disdain for the savage South no longer offends liberty.

What Does It Means?
This nation, this great commonwealth of America, has changed many of its policies in recent times, but the change of the North's attitude toward the South, the attempt to cement the great cleavage which has existed since the black man came upon the scene, the obliteration and the abolition of sectional sentiments and grievances means that something has been going on. It means that the North has accepted some of the South's philosophies and that some ideals and some principles have been sacrificed. And the greatest sacrifice that the North has made is its original stand and attitude toward the American black man.
In Massachusetts, where freedom had its birth and liberty was nursed, in Massachusetts, where slavery was scorned and the preachments of the South were bitterly reviled, a stern change can be observed. A few days ago the rebel yell was heard in Cambridge, for the Harvard Athletic Association had invited the football team of Center College, from the hills of Kentucky, to play there. As the sons of Harvard pitted their football prowess against the Kentuckians, loud and reverberant cheers for the Southerners could be heard. Harvard no longer curls its lips in disdain for the Southerners and the rebel yells of the savage South no longer offend those who dwell in the cradle of liberty.
On the same day, in New York, not far distant from the tomb of General Grant, Pennsylvania State College put its team of football warriors against the boys from Georgia School of Technology, and again the rebel yell of Dixie swelled above the stands and swept over the cold, stone monument of General Grant, who had bled and fought to quell the same yell when it broke through this country proclaiming slavery, the auction block and traffic in human flesh. What does it all mean?
It means that the institutions which once had sectional policies have cast them aside and adopted national platforms. It means that the North no longer finds the South and its traditions despicable and intolerable. "Not a jot nor a tittle" has the South given. Slavery as such has been destroyed, but a great scheme of peonage has supplanted it and only a few weeks ago this terrible crime, with associated murders and brutalities, was uncovered, lynchings and burnings at the stake continue to multiply and horrify, but the North smiles and extends its hand to be grasped in the bloody talons of the Southern Savage. The South remains solid and staunch; it refuses to allow unto the black people their legacies from the Constitution; it gloats over its own bestiality, but the North closes its eyes and in Utopian splendor extends its hand.
When President Harding was hooted and hissed in Georgia recently, the North did not seem offended at this gross insult and no slurs were thrown at the section of the Nation which breeds such devils incarnate. In America the sentiments of the South are becoming controlling forces, and soon the Mason-Dixon line may well be moved up to the Canadian boundary.
No one wishes to foment or perpetuate sectional hatred and strife, but, on the other hand, no one should show favors and approve of a section which once sponsored liberty and justice giving up its ideals and accepting with open arms a section which refuses to depart from slavery, murder and tyranny. The North should never accept the South until it has surrendered its programme of lynchings and departed from uncivilized practices. If the North cements the cleavage between the South at this time, it means that right is trampled under the heel of evil and crime.
The black man truly faces America, and if the South continues to steam-roll its crimes and prejudices over this country, he is doomed to suffer terribly. In education, politics and economics, he is doomed to suffer still unless some great wave of justice sweeps the pinions of the South asunder and forces it to cleanse its hands and purify its heart before it enters a National pact. Should the North accept the South as it now is, reeking with lust and crime, the whole Nation will be corrupted and the black man will not suffer alone.

The use of yeast as a food is not a new fad. It was used in the time of Hippocrates and Galen, and the women in Negro's court used yeast to improve their complexions. It might have been that Hippocrates knew very little about
the vitamine contained in yeast, yet in certain symptom complex, known as malnutrition, he recommended the eating of yeast, which resulted in an improvement of the conditions.
Yeast is a vegetable, just like cabbage, spinach, lettuce, etc. Each plant is microscopic in size. It grows in a water extract of the best selected grains, corn and barley malt from which it absorbs and concentrates the vitamine of the grains. Besides supplying vitamine, the balance of its substance consists of a readily assimilable food material. Its protein, constituting 50 per cent of the dry matter, is available for the building of tissue, its glycogen and fat serve as a source of energy and its ash consists chiefly of phosphates.
Yeast is not a "cure all," but is only a food. There are mainly three types of conditions that it is used with good results as a preventive measure: (1) as a general tonic in malnutrition and (2) in lowered vitality, due to insufficient vitality, due to insufficient vitamine in the diet, and (3) in
it is used with good DR. TROY SMITH as a general tonic in ty, due to insufficient the diet, and (3) in acne and carbuncles, supplemented with written me and asked concerning the so it are on the market and are advertised as builder. I can see frankly that all they
acute skin infections, such as boils, acne and carbuncles, supplemented with necessary local treatment.
Many readers of this paper have written me and asked concerning the so-called "Vitamon Tablets" of yeast that are on the market and are advertised as being so wonderful as a constitution builder. I can say frankly that all they claim to do is questioned and, if a person really needs vitamins, I am sure that better results can be obtained, and is more economical to eat a cake of yeast with each meal.
Medicines cannot take the place of foods. There are certain elements of food if we eliminate from the diet disease will develop. For example, take away from the diet of a normal person fresh, succulent fruits and green, leafy vegetables. What will be the result? Scurvy will develop and the individual will have tender, swollen joints, soft, bleeding gums, loosened teeth, lack of appetite and an ugly, ill-tempered disposition, followed by a general physical breakdown. Now add to the diet of this same person fruits, mainly oranges and green, leafy vegetables and scurvy will soon disappear.
The best way to obtain vitamine and health is not at the drug store, but by eating a mixed diet, consisting chiefly of fruits, milk, vegetables, bread and a moderate amount of meats.
UNDER THE LASH OF THE
WHIP
Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting
Errors and Epis.
A certain Bishop who lived in Chicago for several years and who has wielded a strong hand in political circles astounds the city by stating that he was surprised to hear of the vice in Chicago's Second Ward while in England last summer. We are surprised to find that the Bishop is surprised and we would like to take issue with him upon that question. Any man who has lived in Chicago who is not blind could not escape the sight of the iniquity and vice which infests this section of the great city of Chicago. Just what does the Bishop mean?
Information comes to us that the Los Angeles Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has blown up. We are also informed that Liberty Hall in New York has been given over upon several occasions to various political factions of that city. Garvey has changed his policies and from all indications his organization will soon blow up in a great bubble if he does not hold fast to his original program. Too bad! We had hoped for great things out of him.
The Star of Zion, the official mouthpiece of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, pats President Harding upon the back for his speech in Alabama. The Star thanks God for the message of Harding. We fail to understand how the Editor of that paper, who is both young and intelligent, can be such a cringing, crouching coward. It is hoped that even the church papers will publish their views with intellectual honesty and it is hard to believe that the Editor is honest in thanking the President for pronouncing his race as unfit socially and eternally different from other people. The great and good Divinity neither inspired the speech nor the Star's endorsement.
What has become of our hooded friends, the Ku Klux? The newspaper tirade has ceased and even the vitriol and eloquence of our "orators" has been hushed. The Klan has lived in the heart of the South for over half a century and the black people seem to have in three weeks forgotten their fearful programme and their heinous crimes. Let us not forget, for an ominous silence always precedes a

Rev. S. S. Washington will be the speaker at Sunday Afternoon Men's meeting. Rev. Washington is well known as an able speaker and has had such varied church connection in the last years that his message Sunday will be of peculiar interest. Those who were not present last Sunday missed a description of the fighting of the Ninety-Second Division before Metz by Captain Pitts that was inspiring. MONDAY night opened the Week of Prayer which was continued with increasing interest through Tuesday and Thursday nights. The co-operation of the pastors and prayer meetings throughout the city gave the observance wide interest. OLDER BOYS are especially active this week in their interest in the Older Boys' Conference of the state which meets in Decatur next week. About twenty young fellows are expected to make the trip representing the Wabash Department and the Sunday Schools of the City. Mr. G. W. Johnson of the Boys' Section addressed a class of students at the Y. M. C. A. College on Tuesday morning. The privileges of the building were thrown open to the free for four hours and they "had a time." THE PULLMAN Porters' Association is enjoying the hospitality of the "Y" this week, both for sessions and accommodations. Anticipating the "Home Spreads" of Thanksgiving, few features are planned at the building for that day. The boys will have an assembly at 10:30 and at two o'clock will meet one from Lincoln Congregational to demonstrate the game as played in the "fair" South. The Sunday School Basketball League is ready to go. It is expected that two teams will play at the crashes, Mr. Cawford was a speaker before groups at Gary schools last week. ARRIVALS during the week include: Levi P. Alston, Metropolis; Ill.; Max Yergan, New York City; H. Hill, Milwaukee; R. P. Hamlin, Washington, D. C.; M. B. Armstrong, Louisville, Ky.; Joseph A.

HOW MAIL IS DELAYED
During the holiday season large quantities of very small envelopes and cards are put into the mails, with the result that all postal work is very much retarded and mail disfigured and torn, according to Postmaster Arthur Leder. This is not generally known, but it will be preciated if your paper will help us bring it to their attention. The minimum size of cards and envelopes should not be below 2 3/4 x4 inches for the following reasons:
1. Addresses will be obliterated by cancellation marks.
2. They are too small to be handled on facing table, necessitating three extra handlings with consequent delay not only to this but other mail.
3. Delayed in cancellation because they must be postmarked by hand stamp instead of through canceling machines.
4. Delayed through difficulty in sorting.
5. Liable to losses or damages, as small sizes do not fit letter pack-
ages and cannot be tied securely. These odd and diminutive size pieces of stationery have come into use in the last few years, and only appear now in any quantity at Christmas time when the whole postal institution is speeded up to top speed and trying to keep on top of the load, and it will be greatly appreciated if the public will use stationery of the proper size in order that the handling of all mail may be expedited.
Book Reviews
Book Reviews
The "Sermons" have a real literary value. The pages used to review a popular book by a Negro writer might have been used to betray the reader. The pages of the wheels of a new subject matter to carry a slowly moving theme.
Upon the whole, CHUMS and BROTHERS is an ideal student's book. The book is bound in the A. U. Being compiled before the close of the Great Struggle, it has proven in many instances truly prophetic. Although there is a lack of continuity of language or subject matter, the book is well foliated in part that departure is fairly condoned after reading beneath the surface and conceiving the aim of the writer.
But is it a book to offend the other race, but is rather a peace maker by personal example chronicled within the A. U. Spirit
THE CHURCHES

Reverend Dr. Cook, Pastor
Reverend Dr. Cook, Pastor
There was great rejoicing Sunday morning at Wendell's on account of the return from the short illness of the pastor. Mrs. Leigh sang a spirited evangelical number, "Just Keep Sweet." The Text was from Jeremiah 9 Ch. 23rd and 24th verses.
"Let not a man glory in his wisdom, etc." (read it.)
The sermon pertained to and qualified the status of the present Peace Conference, and proved conclusively to the vast host present that "first it is necessary for a man to become peaceful himself with his God, then with his fellowman. After that comes peace between small groups and consequently between the nations and the races of the World." Until the first stage arrives there appeared little hope for a general peace. "But if God wills, there could be peace to morrow," said Dr. Cook, "but it is ponderable as to whether He that came to bring a sword, yet desires Universal Peace upon Earth." Dr. Cook handled the text and the subject referred to in an easy, fluent, yet thoroly comprehensive manner. On the end of the sermon it caught fire and there was a high spiritual demonstration in the audience.
The solo by Miss Collins was a further demonstration of the work of the Choir members in individual work. Prof. J. Wesley Jones has recovered from recent illness and is on the job.

Husband, formerly of Indiana now of Chicago, filled the pulpit for Rev. Scott. The congregation felt the spirit of his words. Text: Luke 39th Ch. "Take Ye Away the Stone," was thoroughly exposed by Rev. Husband.

"The Voice of the Negro"
By Robert T. Kerlin, published by E. P. Ditton & Company, 681 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price 25.00, postage 12 cents.
Mr. Robert T. Kerlin, professor at Virginia Military Institute last June wrote a letter to the Governor of Arkansas in which he declared it would be a crime against the Creator, if the six colored men, condemned to death, were executed. "Were they to suffer death," he said, "they would be crucified." Shortly after this statement he was asked to resign by the Board of Virginia Military Institute. Refusing to do this, he was dismissed. This courageous letter to the Governor of Arkansas was the culmination of a number of acts sympathetic to the Negro that had evidently grated against the sensibilities of the Board of Virginia Military Institute.

Probably "The Voice of the Negro," the book which Mr. Kerlin's publishers put out in 1920, was one of his heinous offenses. This book presents to the reader a careful synopsis of Negro opinion, as voiced through its press for four months succeeding the Washington riot. To quote from the preface "virtually the entire Afro-American press, consisting of two dailies, a dozen magazines, and nearly three hundred weeklies, has been drawn upon." "When I told the publisher," Mr. Kerlin goes on to say, "that I was making this compilation, he remarked that my book would make disagreeable reading. There are worse things than disagreeable reading."
Even the most diligent reader of the Negro press would be surprised at the comprehensive and able editorial matter that Mr. Kerlin presents. Extracts from northern and southern papers (one is especially impressed with the courage of southern Negro editors) make up his book. He has covered all forms of racial discrimination and has also a chapter on Race Progress. Among a few of his deductions we quote the following:
Central Baptist Church
The Pastor preached a powerful sermon on Sunday morning last. Special music was rendered by the choir. Interest and attendance in the Sunday morning services is steadily on the increase.
Rev. R. H. McGavock will fill the pulpit on Sunday morning next, and the pastor in the evening. The Rev. Coleman will preach at the Liberty Baptist Church next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in a joint rally. His subject will be "Dry Bones in the Valley." Come early and get a seat. Hear the young pulpit orator. Remember the place.
THE OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. L K Williams, D.D., Minister
Last Sunday the evening services at Olivet were turned over to the Olivet Health Bureau. This organization was organized about two months ago, having for its object the conservation of the health of the community. Dr. George W. Prince, who is president of the organization, told in brief the history and aim of the movement. He then introduced other members: Dr. A. B Terrel, Miss Ella M. Bland, R. N., who holds the position of secretary of the organization; Dr. O. I. Hawkins, Miss N. M. Johnson, R. N., Corresponding Secretary; Dr. George W. Hardeman, Dr. F. W. Adams, Dr. J. W. Burrell and Dr. S. W. Smith, who spoke and gave many helpful suggestions on how to keep well and happy. This is but the beginning of a great movement for the conservation of the health of the people of our group. The Pastor struck the keynote in his remarks when he said that soul and body are so closely interrelated that we cannot keep one pure and clean while we neglect the other.
There will be three different services next Sunday morning; as usual the public is assured that if they cannot get the service they can in another. All are welcome.

Robinson, pastor of St. Mark M. E.
E Church, did credit to himself in the
masterly way in which he handled his
subject. A large congregation had come
to hear Rev. G. G. Logan, District Super-

ably detained and whose place was
acceptably filled by the congregation
who always rejoice to hear their own
rev. Rev. Dr. Logan, and Rev. T.

with us next Sunday morning and each
will preach at the morning and evening
services, respectively. We are having
a fine Lyceum Program at 5 P. M. Don't
fail to attend.
Special Mention
Rev, J. W. Robinson, Pastor of St Mark Church, is attending the great Centenary Conference now in session at Detroit, Mich.
Race Riots.
"Self-defense is applauded and advocated, I believe, by the entire colored press with one exception."
The New Negro and the Old
"The Negro is refusing to accept kindness in lieu of justice. It has long been the custom, according to the colored papers, for the southern white man to make a creditable asset of his affection for some dear old black beauty, and in that or that 'auenty' or 'uncle.' To the Negro this profession makes no appeal whatsoever. It doesn't touch the question of his demands."
The Administration of Justice
"The discriminations against colored people in regard to arrest, imprisonment, trial and punishment weigh most heavily upon them. They complain that they are at the mercy of a brutal police, a prejudiced judge, and a jury on which they are not represented. The standard of justice is one thing for the white man, another thing for the black man."
Accounts of lynchings and many editorials of striking force are taken from northern and southern papers. We read of horrors with which the colored reader is too familiar. Especially interesting is the bringing out of instances of the use of "burnt cork." Witness a North Carolina story. "The Negro man who horsewhipped Mrs. William Crisp (white) was neither a 'Negro nor a man', but a white woman who disguised herself."
The book ends with some of the great poems by Negro writers: Lucien B. Watkins, Georgia D. Johnson, William Rufus Lackaye and Claude McKay's sonnet that startled both races by its tremendous message of fighting power, "If We Must Die."
