FOREIGN OFFICE UPHOLDS BLACK SOLDIERS LONDON, Dec. 20.—"All our information is to the effect that the allegations of improper conduct by the colored troops have been grossly exaggerated. There is no evidence that they commit outrages more frequently than other troops, not excepting the German troops in the garrison towns before the war." These extracts are from a document published by the Foreign Office on the aspects of the employment of colored troops on the Rhine report next week. Going to press. The Chicago Whip Look Out, Officer Guy Knows How To Shoot Policeman Addeljar Guy, 3850 Vincennes Avenue, is the proud recipient of the Daily News medal, given Chi- of the Dary N. cagoe mencom for marksmanship. Officer Guy won the fourth prize, shooting against a field of 3,200 patrolmen. His score was 260 out of a possible 300. 50 He has been a member of the police force for eight years and bears the distinction of being the first member of his race to win a medal for marksmanship. Policeman Guy travels out of the 48th Street Station CHURCH MAY SPLIT OVER DR. ISAACS KANSAS CITY, MO. Dec. 31.—Allen Chapel, well known as Kansas City's "Church on the Hill," is on the verge of a split as the Rev. J. B. Isaacs prepares to continue his pastorate for another year, through an appointment made last week by Bishop H. B. Parks. It had been confidently expected by the majority of the membership that the Rev. Mr. Isaacs would be removed, and the bishop is charged with a breach of faith in reappointing the minister. As a result of the crisis, the board of trustees has resigned. The feeling of members of the church is expressed in the following statement made by a prominent member: "Rev. Isaacs came here two years ago and found Allen Chapel the most popular and powerful congregation in the west. He had every opportunity to succeed. The people knew that they had to give up the idolized Dr. Thomas and they quickly adjusted themselves to the change. Any man with ordinary tact and skill in leadership should have had the smoothest kind of sailing. But it was only a short time before the eccentric, exotic temperament of the new pastor asserted itself and a strongly marked disposition of egotism and tyranny began to display itself. It soon became evident to us that Rev. Isaacs was looking out only for himself. He could not be persuaded to enter into any of the general interests affecting the members of his race in Kansas City. He held himself in practical seclusion and only visited with a few select members of his church, having previously announced his principles concerning his right to select his own associates and dispose of his own time. Naturally dissatisfaction soon gained way and the outside friends of Allen melted away as if by magic. Then followed many of the actual members whose usefulness and loyalty had been tested through years of service. "Rev. Isaacs practically took charge of the financial affairs of the church. He chose his own stewards who were obedient to his will and who raised his salary and trimmings to an aggregate of over three hundred dollars per month. This should have given to Kansas City a man of very high type. In the meantime the physical side of the church was not only neglected but many debts accumulated. Creditors became clamorous. Friends fell away and members grew lukewarm. Every time a church officer worked up enough courage to protest he was promptly dehorned and set adrift." "ENGLISH TOO GOOD, HARDING DID'NT WRITE IT" NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 31. Harding did not write his Birmingham speech, according to Chandler Owen, writing in the current issue of the Messenger Magazine. He said the sentences are short, direct, reason, clear and polished and style no-ing.

It appears to be a grayscale image with a smooth, curved shape that could be a leaf or a shell. However, without clearer details, it's impossible to determine the content or context of the image. Congressman L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, who introduced the anti-lynching bill in Congress, speaks in Chicago, Jan. 1, at 2:30 p. m., at the 8th Regiment Armory. The anti-lynching bill has caused a tremenduos stir in Congress, and bitter opposition to it has been aroused among Southern congressmen. Several attempts to get a vote on the bill have so far proved fruitless, but it seems certain that Congress will be forced to consider it immediately following the Christmas recess. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has waged a determined fight in co-operation with Congressman Dyer for the passage of the bill. 16 DIE IN EARTH SLIDE IN MEMPHIS MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 31.—Sixteen men are reported to have been killed in an earth slide which occurred at Russwood Park here early Monday afternoon. Two dead bodies have been removed from the mass of earth which enveloped the workers without warning. At the time of writing, fourteen were still believed buried underneath tons of earth. Seven men were rescued in time to save their lives. Immediately after the slide a force of 200 men seized shovels and spades and began a frantic work of rescue to release the prisoners from the land slide which had swept over them. Every ambulance in the city was hurried to the scene immediately after the crumble of a 75-foot bank, 10 feet in height on the Madison Avenue side of the new baseball park. Will Coleman, 717 Florida Street, Jim Lewis, 401 S. 2nd Street, and Clayton Sanders, 122 N. 4th Street, were rescued and carried to the General Hospital. Coleman is not expected to recover. The body of an unidentified man, killed at the slide, is at the hospital. Another unidentified man is unconscious, and not expected to recover. It is believed that the cave-in was caused by vibration from passing street cars. MYSTERY SURROUNDS MURDER IN LONE CABIN QUITMAN, Ga., Dec. 31—Mystery surrounds the killing of Lee Robinson, Jr., whose body was found riddled with bullets in a deserted cabin at Uckhead Farms. A coroner's jury investigating rendered the verdict that Robinson came to his death from unknown causes. Saplings around the bushe had been cut down by gushfire. Lone Bandit Holds Up Gamblers While more than 100 gamblers were engaged in blackjack and poker games at a gambling house at 35th St. and Prairie Ave., Christmas day, a lone bandit, armed with a .45 calibre automatic pistol, entered the den and threw the gamblers into pandemonium. The bandit covered the players, and ordered them to leave the money on the tables. A mad rush took place, the players seeking doors, windows, and every available means of exit. Tables were knocked pell-mell, and silver, paper money and cards were scattered in confusion over the floor. As the room was emptied the lone bandit began scooping up his loot. One gambler, a little bolder than the rest, is said to have lingered an instant to try to pick up some of the money he saw lying around. The bandit raised his gun and fired twice at him point blank. Whether he was hit or not is not known. After seizing all the money in the game, the bandit coily walked out as he had come in. His identity is said to be known, as he is a well-known gambler himself, and a patron of the game which he held up. No complaint has been made to the police, and no arrests have been made in spite of the fact that the identity of the gambler is known. The game is said to be operated by L. H. Thomas. WOULD LYNCH MAN FOR FATAL ACCIDENT WACQ, Tex., Dec. 31—Jesse Morgan, a chauffeur, stood in danger of being lynchned here on account of a fatal accident when he ran over and killed Thelma Reane, 24, a white girl. As the mob gathered to lynch the man, he was spirited out of the city by the sheriff. EIGHT PAGES DENY PRES. KING WAS 'SENT' HOME WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.—Ugly rumors in certain newspapers concerning resident C. B. D. King, of Liberia, labeled as absolutely false by Dr. St Lyon, Liberian consul-general, "day." According these newspapers, President King for Liberia within forty-eight hour, of the international celebration of Armistice Day, because President Harding would have been compelled to give him a prominent place in the procession on that occasion had he stayed. One paper went so far as to say that President Harding offered President King transportation home on the U. S. warship, provided he would leave before the celebration came off. "Altogether false and untrue," was the way Dr. Lyon branded these statements when they were called to his attention by a representative of a Baltimore paper. Under the Liberian Constitution, the President is required to be on hand at the opening of Congress the first week in December. President King had made this fact known to the State Department and President Harding. Both assured President King that they needed his presence here to complete arrangements for the loan and would see to it that he was furnished proper transportation in order to reach his country within the time required. It was under such circumstances Dr. Lyon declared that the loan arrangements were hurriedly completed and President Harding offered the U. S. cruiser Denver, which carried him to Liberia in about eight days. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 31.—Nine people are known, to have been killed in a tornado which struck near Clarksdale, Ark. More than $200,000 in property was lost. PAGES Thousands In Christmas Savings Lost BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 31.—The firm of Taylor and Jenkins, bankers, of this city, has been declared bankrupt by Judge Rose, of the United States District Court. This action followed closely news that the Mutual Savings Bank of Norfolk, Va., had been placed in the hands of receivers. The Norfolk bank is capitalized at $60,000, with $10,000 surplus. Fifty thousand in Christmas savings funds remain unpaid. The third bank to fail was the firm of Brown and Wingate, 1512 Pennsylvania Avenue. Had $80,000 Liabilities It is estimated that the liabilities of the Baltimore bank may reach $80,000. Assets are variously estimated between $50,000 and $65,000. Of the $80,000 liabilities there are said to be $22,000 in unpaid Christmas savings deposits. The bank's failure will affect hundreds of people, several churches and fraternal organizations. The bankruptcy petition was filed by the Sharp Street Church, which is said to have lost more than $2,500 in the crash. Other organizations affected by the failure are the First Baptist Church, with $1,500 deposits, and the Afro-American Co., with $750 in deposits. Hundreds of people crowded the streets, making an effort to make last minute withdrawals before the courts finally closed the bank's doors. Bank Closes: Banker Disappears The closing of the banking firm of Brown and Wingate was accompanied by the mysterious disappearance of T. Thomas Brown, member of the firm, who was said to be in Denver, Colo., burying his father-in-law. It later developed that the missing banker had telephoned friends in Baltimore, saying that he was in Danville, Va., but unable to return to the city at once because he was quarantined on account of smallpox. Open threats were made against the life of Banker Brown by depositors who said he had skipped town with their funds. In this bank there were $10,000 unpaid Christmas savings. Man Killed In Argument Over Booze Henry McEwen is dead and James Bailey, 42, 5512 Lafayette avenue, is under arrest following a fight between the two in front of 5517 Lafayette avenue. McEwen, who is Bailey's stepfather, had engaged his son-in-law in a violent argument about Bailey's habits of drinking. McEwen is said to have attacked the younger man, with a poker, inflicting several wounds about his head and face. Bailey then drew a knife and stabbed McEwen in the abdomen. He died later of his wounds. Debs' Last Act Was To Kiss Black Murderer ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 31.—One of the sidelights on the release of Eugene V. Debs from the Federal penitentiary here was his act of kissing Sam Moore, serving a life sentence for murder. He killed a man in prison. He has served thirty years. Until Debs came he was incorrigible. Debs made him think himself a man. Warden Dyche asked Debs if he had anything to ask on his last day in jail. "I want to see Sam Moore," said Debs. Moore was brought out into the corridor. Debs threw his arms about Sam and Sam nearly collapsed. He recovered himself and Debs kissed him. Sam wept and they shook hands. Debs then said: "If I never do another thing, I'm going to fight for one more chance for Sam Moore."

S. B. Pinchback, former acting governor of Louisiana, United States representative and senator-elect. Death came at the ripe age of 84, the last thirty years being spent far from the state where he once was king and king-maker. To few men does it come to run a greater gamut of public office than to this son of a slave. Born of a slave-owning father, who freed his mother early, educated in Cincinnati, he began life on his own responsibility as a cabin boy on a canal boat, like Garfield. He was among those who enlisted in the sixties, and was a captain of volunteers. However, the greater part of his military activity was as a recruiting officer. As a military man he was not a success, for he refused to suffer the inequalities that were the lot of colored troops even from the Federal side, in that day. The same intolerance of prescription remained in him all his life; the same courage to fight against odds, a. l. it is remarkable that a man whose ve. life was so offer the target for attack by political enemies, lived to die in his bed. His first political office, held in 1807, was swiftly followed by others, until in 1871 he was school director; in 1872 elected to Congress, acting governor in 1873, and surveyor of the Port of New Orleans in 1882. He was refused his seat as United States senator, though the injustice of his unseating was so great that the salary was appropriated to him. One shadow crossed his escutcheon, and it grew out of the lottery which was long located in his state. Its tentacles clutched all the public life. Gov. Pinchback has been charged with being friendly to it, and with having failed to rally to the call of the good men of his state who finally drove it out. An estimate of his character, made now when his candle is quenched, will count his greatest contribution the sturdy self-reliance which he showed could be found in a Negro. His ability in several positions of responsibility also was a real contribution to the race's reputation. Soldiers Not Due Mercy, Says Weeks WASHINGTON . . . C. Dec. 31. Citizens throughout the country are up in arm against the opposition imposed by the War Department in granting clemency to the sixty-three former members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, who are in prison on a charge of participating in the Houston riots of August, 1917. The decision of the War Department was made public Thursday when Secretary Weeks wrote to Chairman Kahn of the House military committee. "The only reason clemency has not been extended and is not now recommended," Weeks stated, "is that on account of the offenses of which these men clearly were guilty they are not entitled to so "clemency." Secretary . . . then reported that fifty-eight of the 110 men convicted of participating in the riots were serving life sentences, while five others were an prison serving sentences of fifteen years each. Of the remainder, nineteen were executed, six have died in confinement and the rest either have served out their terms or have been granted clemency. The resolution, introduced by Representative Anthony, Republican, of Kansas, recalled the famous cases of 1917, and it was believed that a close investigation into the War Department records would place a new light on the alleged hasty and summary conviction of the men. The measure is for the purpose of determining whether or not the men were convicted on circumstantial evidence, and if so, how far fetched.

ROBBERY Admits Ku Klux Klan Is Bankrupt ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 23.—The Ku Klux Klan is practically upchurch, according to an affidavit made public Thursday by Z. R. upchurch, one of the leaders of the Atlanta Klan, who is fighting to depose Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Kleagle, and his associate in business, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler. The affidavit says that the Klan now faces payment of large obligations with a depleted treasury; that it does not hold clear title to any of the real estate it has purchased, and that it has been trying to sell certificates of indebtedness to individual Klansmen in the hope of obtaining necessary funds to tide it over the emergency. Upchurch, who for several years was associated with Clarke in a business way, makes unprintable charges concerning the past life of Mrs. Tyler and Clarke, backed up by allegations of immoral conduct between them, giving his own personal observations of conditions NEEDY CHILDREN MADE HAPPY ON CHRISTMAS DAY The Christmas tree and Christmas dinner for Chicago's needy colored children at the Eighth Regiment armory, on Christmas Day, furnished a sight that will long be remembered and showed that those in charge had left no stone unturned to make Chicago's needy colored children happy on Christmas. Food, toys and clothing were distributed to over two thousand kiddies of all sizes and degrees of want. The committee which was responsible for this event were Harvey B. Saunders, druggist; Rev. J. A. Winters, J. H. Longhon, Chas. Worthington, Roy M. Smith, Violet Westbrooks and Lillian A. Millen. The great work of Mr. Eugene Manns, who did most of the managing of the affair, contributed largely to the success of the affair. After all of the children had been supplied with candy, toys, nuts and clothing, needy families came with baskets and were given food. The committee plans to repeat the event next year, and wish to thank those who contributed money, toys, food or clothing or services and feel sure that the sight furnished at the Armory last Sunday.

Bailey The state of Illinois has passed a law which takes effect Jan. 1, 1922, and is destined to send into oblivion all of P On and after January 1, all brokers will be required to hold a certificate of registration, issued by the Department of Registration and Education, Springfield, Ill., and under this law all brokers are required to maintain in a public place and above board, where the general public will have every access to and fro. Each broker can employ as many salesmen as there are necessary to carry out the work of his office and jurisdiction, but each and every salesman must have a certificate issued by the Department of Registration and Education as well as a card for his or her pocket, and can only work out of the office designated by the certificate which he holds, unless through mutual consent of the brokers. In other words, every person who sells, buys, exchanges or offers to sell, buy, exchange, rent or lease for others in exchange for a compensation, must hold a certificate as referred to above. No person except the owner of real estate can sell without a certificate and he will not be permitted to offer or to give commission to any person for assistance in any manner. This law is to be rigidly enforced. A commission has been appointed by Governor Small. This commission has visited the city and spent an entire day in explaining the law in detail. The writer had the good pleasure of being present that he might be in position to explain the same to hundreds of members of the Race and endeavor to prevent them, if possible, from violation of the same. Penalty for violation by an individual, if found guilty and convicted, will be from one hundred ($100.00) dollars to two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars, or two years' imprisonment. If a corporation fine may be as high as five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars, it is certificate, issued by the Department of Registration and Education, not authorize the broker or other real estate dealers to operate in our city with a regular license issued by the city of Chicago to brokers. Fleeing Woman Turns, Shoots Husband PINE BLUFF, Ark., Dec. 31. Neighbors who heard the door of the Billinger home at 113 S. Texas Street slam looked out and saw C. C.

He fell forward on his face, probably fatally wounded. The woman told the police that her husband had whipped her several times, and had threatened to take the pistol away from her and kill her. 5011 South State Street --- Phone Drexel 6752 existing at 185 South Pryor street, where they were arrested together in October, 1919, and fined for disorderly conduct. He also charges that Clarke has defrauded charitable and religious organizations of thousands of dollars, when conducting money-raising campaigns for them, and that he continued this practice in his conduct of the propaganda of the Klan. He says that he recommended Clarke to Colonel Simmons, Imperial Wizard, not knowing at that time of his "utter baseness." Upchurch says that when Colonel Simmons became aware of the South Pryor street incident, he was greatly shocked and said Clarke and Mrs. Tyler must get out at once, and offered to him (Upchurch) the post held by Clarke, but that Upchurch was forced by lack of funds to refuse it, and the order was forced for the same reason to retain Clarke. STRAIGHT U. PROF. RESIGNS AFTER CHOKING AFFAIR STRAIGHT U. PROF. RESIGNS AFTER CHOKING AFFAIR NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 31.—A recent attempt on the part of a white teacher at Straight University to forcibly ejaculate a girl student from her classroom, and the widespread discussion caused by the incident has caused the following statement to be issued by the university authorities: STRAIGHT COLLEGE In view of the widespread circulation of exaggerated reports growing out of the unfortunate occurrence in the classroom between the Professor of History and a girl student of the eighth grade, it is thought wise to have set forth a concise statement of facts for the guidance of the thinking friends of the Institution. The hesitancy on the part of the student to obey an order to take her seat led to another to leave the room. Hesitancy to leave was met by an attempt on the part of the Professor to eject her by physical force. As a result the class was taken away from the teacher by the Dean. Later, of his own volition, the Professor sent his resignation to the New York Office. In the judgment of representatives of faculty, Alumni, students and parents, the element of race prejudice did not enter into the incident. The student was not choked as reported. The life of the school is quiet and normal and there is no ground for continued agitation on this unhappy incident. The successful handling of the delicate situation created by the above occurrence, by President Briggs and his associates, deserves public commendation. E. Chas, Thornhill, M.D., Pres.

Dyer, who introduced the Anti-Lynching bill in Congress, will be one of the speakers. The other speakers will be James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

M. A. N. Shaw, president, in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, 14th and Corcoran streets, if it accomplished nothing more, has made a conspicuous public effort to have the issue of color equality considered by the World Disarmament conference. Every day this week, but Friday, one or more of the Washington dailies have carried an article about the congress seeking the privilege of presenting arguments and facts before the World Arms parley as to why they should consider the abolition of color maltreatment everywhere in its program of world peace. It is the consensus of opinion here among the colored people that the written request handed to the secretary-general of the Arms conference at its offices in the Navy building on Monday, the written appeal to the U.S. delegation of the color issue handed to the senator at his home on Wednesday and the final memorial were a credit to the intellect and statesmanship of the race, for excerpts of these came out in the daily press. The committee on petition for color equality, consisting first and last of Wm. Monroe Trotters of Mass., Rev. T. J. Moppins, Mo.; E. T. Morris, Mass.; Rev. Beverly Sanksbury, Miss.; Rev. W. O. Harris, Conn.; Rev. R. B. Brodie, N. Y.; Rev. W. J. Hollimus, S. C.; J. L. Neill, and M. W. Spencer, D C., had an audience on Monday with the secretary-general of the Disarmament conference in the Navy building, an audience before Senator Lodge in the Foreign Relation Committee room of the Senate, where Chairman M. A. N. Shaw was a speaker, and on Friday with the secretary of the American delegation at the Disarmament headquarters. On Friday afternoon a part of the committee called in a body at the headquarters of the French delegation. in the aristocratic new Willard hotel with a petition for audience before them in the interest of a hearing before the parley, and at the headquarters of the British delegation in the Franklin hotel (Franklin square) with a like petition which they left with the respective secretaries. Just as conspicuous public work was carried on with the U. S. government on the lynching question. Rev. T. J. Moppins, Mo., was delegated as a personal agent of the Democracy Congress of the National Equal Rights league to work with Congressman Dyer for the passage of Anti-Lynching bill. The democracy congress framed a strong petition quoted largely in the Washington Star, for the bill and sent copies to over 400 members of the House. Wednesday morning sessions was omitted that delegates might approach their congressmen at the capitol, where delegates Trotters Rev. E. A. Abbott, N. Y., and Rev. Hollimus, S. C., had a long audience with Floor Leader Mondell. On this anti-lynching committee under Rev. Moppins, as chairman were Dr. Julia P. Coleman, D. C., secretary, Rev NELL MUSIC 5003 STATE STREET Q. R.

The beautiful strarpeys that he had intended for a full little lady had been put in the with his wife's name on n. Whought hubby was "grand". Huwas telephoning to the beautiful ladling her that he had another prefor her and that the hardkcrchthat she had just received were into his wife. His bad language due to the fact that he had to spend money. Santa Claus will do tricks sometimes. OXY have a big name in the business world and you can get away with murder sometimes. Nosey heart lady who has a beautiful flame and o takes in boarders complaining about way she had been treated by boarder Chicago's big business man. He ordered a big feed for a party of six. The lady prepared it with all the trimming. Paid someone to serve the feed and advanced the money to get the sparking water for the "punch". When the party was over that night—which was three months ago—the gentleman whispered that he would send her a cheek in the morning. The lady has met the man ever since then, but no letter to check. He is never in his sleeve. She "sings a tune" now that puts Maring Smith in the shade. She has passed the word along and Nosey knows that he will have a hard time giving another party on just the same basis. It worked once anyway—"a party on jawbone." SOME of the girls who are up in social circles have really been enjoying the holidays and trying out all sorts of "booth-th" professional and home made. They all gave various excuses for being absent from home so late while they attended these "moonshine parties." Well, Nosey found out that the expected happened at the last party on Christmas Eve. Some bad booth crept into the party and wrecked it, forcing the entire company to seek medical aid. Yet, Nosey found out that mothers and husbands and of course the wives were told that ice cream was the cause of it all. Now that set keep their fingers crossed and all say, "Never again." It might have been worse—ask Arbuckle—he knows. EVERYTHING does not always occur as planned. Nosey heard a lady at a dance over at the Armory telling her friend a tale of woe. She came to the dance with a young man who came all the way from Washington to see her. She had invited him after another young man in the south said he could not come. The man from the south had, however, changed his mind and not finding her at home, came to the dance. Both were looking to take her home. Both expected her to marry—each thinking that he was the lucky man. She wanted to keep both thinking that he was ace high. Well, she solved the problem. She took suddenly ill, went home with her "real fellar," the Chicago man, third male character in the drama. Her lady friend made suitable explanations to the other fellows. If she can get away with that, she can keep all three apart during the rest of the holiday season. YOU better be careful of the eyes of a certain little lady who keeps her head on one side all of the time. "The better to see you my child," is the reason. Once you look into those eyes, you lose all sense of where you are or what you are doing. Nosey has met the victims of this "siren" and one after the other they mentioned their losses. One a watch, one a diamond ring and yet another claims he lost a whole wallet. This is a fair warning for she is clever—so clever that these gentlemen have not deemed it advisable to complain to the police about their losses. If she puts her head on one side—turn your back and walk away and you will be able to buy dinner another day. THE MESSIAH'S ADVENT AT ARYAN GROTTO TEMPLE Ebenezer Choir and Artists Big Hit The music loving public and friends of Chicago and nearby towns are voicing loud their praise of the oratorio, "Messiah's Advent," given by Ebenezer Choir under the direction of Prof. John A. Taylor, December 27, at Aryan Grotto Temple, Chicago. The / well-known stars, Ms. Damesian Blanche Dorsey Peyton, soprano; Mary E. Jones, soprano; Laura Stockard Jones, contralto, and Prof. Jas. A. Lillidon, tenor, and J. L. Griffin, basso, with others, received a tremendous ovation. The entire cast is due much of the credit which was freely given them by the good critics of Chicago.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Ethel Waters and her Black Swan Jazz Masters are not to abandon their road tour to become a feature attraction on one of the big-time vaudeville circuits as was reported several days ago. Her managers admit that they received a flattering offer to put this great singer of the "Blues" in vaudeville, but say it was refused, owing to the many contracts made for the appearance of the Black Swan Troubadours throughout the country. Those contracts run into the spring. After that there is a possibility of Ethel Waters and Her Black Swan Troubadours being seen in lights in front of the leading vaudeville houses.

The performances took place on succeeding Saturdays, December 10 and 17, the first of these benefits being attended by 210 children from Lincoln Settlement house who were presented with boxes of candy by the management. At the second performance there were 100 children from the Lincoln Settlement house and three open air classes from public schools. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., commended the spirit shown by the members of the "Shuffle Along" company, saving: "The members of this company, whose performance is a vital contribution to the welfare of colored people in the United States, deserve the highest praise for their readiness to share with others the pleasure they can give.

Williams HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 31.—The Hampton basketball quintet defeated the Shaw University five, 11 to 7, on the Hampton Gymnasium court before a large and enthusiastic crowd of basketball fans. The game was one of the hardest-fought contests ever staged between the two teams. The Shaw team scored first, but Hampton soon got the lead and held it throughout the game. Hampton has a comparatively new team, and for that reason the Shawites felt confident of victory over the "Seasiders." There was a keen desire on the part of the Shaw five to defeat Hampton this season, as no Shaw basketball team has ever won over Hampton. At the sound of the timekeeper's whistle, with Hampton on the long end of the score, the Shaw team experienced great disappointment, while the Hampton students were correspondingly jubilant. The Guarding of both teams was good, but the passing and shooting showed early-eason form. Each team missed a number of set-ups. The game was played in the fine spirit which has long been characteristic of the Hampton-Shaw contests. Much interest is being exhibited at Hampton over the two inter-sectional contests that are to be played this season, the first with Wilberforce University at Hampton on January 7, and the second with Morehouse College on February 18.

Pollard Stars As Snpremes Down Hammond Pro's Did you ever hear a proud father raving about the accomplishments of his son and have the son come in and recite a portion of Lincoln's Gettsburg Speech while the father smilingly puffs an antiquated pine or perhaps you have watched the expression on the face of the owner of a new automobile climbing a hill "on high." Well, this is the way Mr. Walter Eckersal, noted sport authority and football player, should feel after reading of the playing of Fritz Pollard in yesterday's game, for about one of the last things Mr. Eckersal did before boarding the train for California, where he is to officiate at the W. J-California game, January 2, was to proclaim Fritz Pollard of Brown and Casey of Harvard two of the greatest players of all times. In the game, in which the Supremes experienced little trouble in heating the strong Hamond team, Fritz surely demonstrated his claim to the title of greatest open field runner of the decade. ST. "C" LATE ORGANIZING Famous New York Five to Play First Game Late in January Following the game with the New York State Leaguers, we received a number of inquiries from fans wanting to know if this was the same team that visited Chicago last season. Not the Same Team It seems that one would only have to lamp the playing of the two clubs to be able to answer this question for the St. Christopher team that played here last season can well be remembered being formidable in defeat, losing to the Defenders (then known as the Forty Club) after a bitter fight.

THE OLD RELIABLE Creditt Jewelers Main Store Second Floor, Stewart Bldg, 108 N. STATE STREET Sam McVey, heavyweight pugilist died December 23, in New York City, of pneumonia. He was born in 1885, in Oxnard, Cal. His first appearance as a champion heavyweight contender was in 1903, when he stopped Kid Carter in eleven rounds. After this fight he was labeled as "The Oxnard Wonder." He next stopped Denver Ed Martin in one round. His quick defeat of Martin earned him a match with Jack Johnson who had failed to stop Martin in twenty rounds. Jim Jeffries at that time had drawn the color line and retired from the ring. The fight student conceded Johnson as being the only man who had a chance against the then world's champion. McVey lost two twenty-round fights to Johnson in 1903. In 1904 Jack Johnson knocked him out in the twentieth round. This fight was a twenty-round limit and McVey was knocked out in the last minute of the last round. In 1907 he invaded Europe, making his headquarters in Paris, France. He became the "idol" of the French fight fans, stopping the Harlem Coffee Cooler in three rounds, Jack Scales in two rounds and a ten-round, no decision bout with Joe Taylor in 1908. Knocked out Ben Taylor in eleven rounds, Jeway Barry in fifteen rounds, won a foul from Joe Barry in fifteen rounds, fought a thirty-round draw with Joe Jeannette. After this sensational thirty-round draw, which was fought in Paris, France, they were rematched, and Joe Jeannette knocked out McVey in 49 rounds, in Paris, France, before the largest crowd that ever saw a boxing contest in Europe, and for the largest nurse that has ever been offered two colored fighters, each receiving $22,500.00. This bout is claimed by many close students of the game as being the greatest heavyweight contest ever held under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, both contestants showing wonderful boxing skill, marvelous recuperative powers and remarkable gameness. In the twenty-second round of this bout, McVey knocked down Jeannette with that lightning left of his, which was the greatest left-hand knockdown known to the boxing game, four times, and the bell was all that saved him. In the last four rounds, McVey was knocked down eleven times, finally being knocked out with a blow to the GOURDIN IS DEFEATED AT BROOKLYN BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Two upsets and a near upset marked the three featured events in the track games of the Carlton Y. M. C. A. at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory in Brooklyn last week. The upsets came in the defeat of Ned Gourdin, great allaround Harvard star, in a series of special sprint races for points and in the defeat of Willie Plant, American walking champion, in a one-mile handicap walk. The near upset occurred in the two-mile handicap race when Earle Johnston of Pittsburgh, national distance champion, was extended to the limit to beat Arthur Cassot of the Glencoe A. C. Gourdin was beaten by Joseph Carter of Brown University by 13 points to 11 in a 60, 70 and 100-yard dash special event, but, despite his defeat, he established a new record for the track when he won the century dash in 10.01, defeating Carter by a foot. The former record was 10.02, held jointly by Lawson Robertson, Jim Rosenberger, Al Pinkerton and Frank Stephenson. Carter was no match for the former Crimson star in the 100, but he shaded him in the 60 and 70-yard dashes and these successes, with his second in the By James Vance back of the neck. The rabbit punch since made famous by Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills. In 1910 he knocked out eleven second raters, Battling Jim Johnson being about the best, stopping Johnson in twenty-one rounds. In 1911 he invaded Australia, stopping Jack Lester in six rounds, George Kodel in one, Andrew Dixon in three and Bill Lang in two, and getting a twenty-round decision over Sam Langford and a twenty-round draw. In 1912 he beat Jim Barry and fought Sam Langford four times; lost two twenty-round decisions, stopped in eleven rounds and knockout in thirteen. In 1913 he knocked out Colin Bell, second round; won Colin Bell, sixteen rounds, and a draw with Sam Langford in twenty rounds. In 1914 he returned to America and won from Harry Wills in twenty rounds at New Orleans, La. In 1915 he knocked out Landy Ferguson in eight rounds, won from Jim Johnson, 20 rounds; Sam Langford, 10 rounds; Jeff Clark, 10 rounds; draw from Joe Jeannette, twelve rounds; Sam Langford, twenty rounds; no decision with Harry Wills, 10 rounds; Sam Langford, ten rounds; lost to Harry Wills, twelve rounds. In 1916 won: Bob Devdre, ten rounds; draw Sam Langford; two ten-round fights. In 1917 won Jeff Clark, 20 rounds; Jim Johnson, fifteen rounds. In 1918 knocked out Harry Wills in five rounds. In 1920 fought Sam Langford ten rounds, no decision, and six rounds, no decision, with Harry Wills. His high record is remarkable for the number of fights with Sam Langford, having fought this toughest of all known fighters thirteen times. They were all staged in all the fight centers of Australia and the United States. Joe Jeanette five times, four bouts being held in France; Harry, Wills five times, and Jack Johnson three times. In late years McVey has appeared in the role of trainer and sparring partner for colored and white heavyweights training for important contests; the most notable of these was getting Jack Johnson ready for the Grand Flop at Havana. Despite his thirty-six years, McVey retained his boxing skill and hitting powers and was always in demand. McVey was an odd character in many ways. An exceptionally clean liver, and did not smoke, drink or chew, and the only prominent pugilist that ever had a colored manager. century, brought him the victory, Perryman trailed Gourdin and Carter in the 100, while Bernie Wefers, Jr., of the N. Y. A. C., was third in both the 60 and 70-vard dashes. Defenders To To Battle In Title Contest Champions in Titular Contest South Side fans will surely miss a treat should they fail to see the basketball game Monday, January 2, at the Eighth Regiment armory, between the Chicago Defenders and the fast Desota Council Five, champions of the West, in what will undoubtedly be one of the best games to be seen on the South Side this season. Fans Appreciate Test The Defenders have been sailing along at a terrific clip all season, knocking asunder all comers alike, and fans will appreciate a chance of seeing their favorites extend themselves in an effort to stave off defeat. To Settle Old Grudge It is to be remembered that this same bunch downed the haughty Defenders last season, a fact that the Defenders as a matter of good sportsmanship have long since forgiven but shall never be forgotten.

The Morris Supreme, who deceitful the Hammond pro team last Monday afternoon, 42 to 0, will meet the famous Greenbay Packers on Friday night at the Dexter Pavilion, Halsted and 42nd Streets, in what promises to be one of the hottest games ever offered to the Chicago football fans. "Ink" and "Fritz" in Action Williams and Pollard, the two Brown stars, are in the lineup of the Morris Supremes and will present the same sensational play that has made these two colored athletes the most sought after men now in the professional ranks. West, all-American tackle of Colgate has been secured and will deliver that type of football which made him one of Walter Camp's selection. Conzelman, former quarterback for The Great Lakes' team, will be in quarterback position for the Morris Supremes. This aggregation of stars have developed a wonderful machine as was shown in the game Monday afternoon. Greenbay Strong Aggregation Football fans will remember that Greenbay Packers were here recently in a game with Staleys and have a galaxy of stars which have been delivering a type of football that have made them one of the most feared teams from their section. The game is scheduled to start at 8:15 p. m. Tickets are $1.00 with war tax. The last game has made indoor football the popular sport in Chicago and a large crowd will be out to witness the spectacle. In Violin Recital Master Quinn B. Wilson, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Wilson, 3763 Rhodes Avenue, startled his audience at Doolittle School, of which he is a seventh-grade pupil, on Thursday afternoon, December 22nd, when he played Bercense from Jocelyn. He was encored several times, each time rendering selections which further captivated his audience. STAR PLAYER BARRED FROM TEXAS TRIP CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 31.-East Tech football players "Thursday refused to play Bryan, (Texas) High School in the annual inter-sectional grid classics. They refused to accept the challenge after first agreeing to it. The reason is that they could not take Big John Trice, their star tackle, with them. Trice is colored, and is one of the greatest football players ever developed in this section. He is to East Tech what the famous Fritz Pollard was to Brown University, what Shellburne was to Dartmouth and what "Duke" Slater is to Iowa. Trice could not go to Bryan without being embarrassed and members of the team voted unanimously to reject the long trip during the holidays on this account. "He gave us the best he had—we owe it to him," said one member of the team. Faculty Manager Gordon B. Frost then sent Coach C. B. Hudson at Bryan a telegram telling him that the trip was impossible. The Boy's Section of the Y. M. C. A. wishes to thank the committee of women and their many friends for the hearty response given the appeal for baskets of food for needy families at Christmas time. Ninety-five baskets were collected and distributed by Mr. Ralph Bryant, assistant boy's work director, and his committee of boys. Mrs. Minnie Tillery secured six baskets, the largest number brought to the Y. M. C. A. by an individual. Wills-Tate Go To Furnish Fuel For Critics The ten-round decision fight that is scheduled to take place at Portland, Ore., between Harry Wills, logical aspirant for Dempsey's heavyweight crown, and Bill Tate, January 2, should go down in history as one of the most peculiar fights in the history of the game. For never before in the history of the game has a contest been staged that had so much bearing upon a prospective future championship bout in which the actual results meant so little so far as the won and lost column is concerned. Wille Must Win Decisively HISTORY MUSEUM Critics are unanimous in their contention that a mere win by Wills does not put him any closer to a match with Champion Dempsey, but that a clean and brief knockout might work wonders in his behalf. Second Fight Within a Month Only a short time ago Wills and Tate met, Wills getting a decision in twelve rounds. However, in this fight Tate saved himself a knockout by refusing to fight and continually hanging on Wills' arms, making it almost impossible for Wills to fight in an effort to avoid punishment. Big Fakers NotColored, SaysRunyon THE BLACK MAN'S PRIDE OF RACE One of our contemporaries, discussing the possibilities of a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, makes this astonishing statement: "A TITLE MEANS LITTLE TO A NEGRO DOLLARS MEAN MUCH MORE." It seems to us that this statement is at once outrageous and cruel. It implies that colored men are lacking in sentiment and feeling as well as in pride of race. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The history of the prize ring shows that colored men have borne titles as proudly and have defended them as honestly and courageously as any white men that ever crawled through the roar. Here have been occasions when aoe of them could have made more money by losing than they did by winning, but the colored men boldly repudiated the very thought and fought and won on their merits. What did dollars mean to Joe Gans, "The Old Master," that day at Goldfield when he complied with brutal weight conditions and went forty-two bitter rounds to victory against Battle Nelson? Gans took a mere pittance in dollars as compared to Nelson's end, but he kept his title. Jack Johnson, had he valued money above the heavyweight crown, could have gathered a fortune by losing to Jeffries at Reno, and there is little doubt that a plot was aoot at one time to have Johnson so lose, a plot rejected by Johnson. No more honest fighter than George Dixon ever drew the breath of life, and his pride in his title kept "Little Chocolate" champion for years. It Joe Wolcott cared nothing for his title it never showed in the manner in which he hammered down all opposition year in and year out. To say that dollars mean more to a colored fighter than a title, in view of the record of the race, is insulting. It is a reflection upon the great colored fighters, living and dead, and will be resented by white sportsmen who have seen them fight, and win, against almost impossible odds and conditions. DAMON RUNYON. (In the New York American.)

For as was stated by that great eastern boxing authority, Harry Newman, in a recent article, Dempsey could hardly be called champion of the world until he has disposed of Wills. Now, my dear readers, after having tried to unravel this "Dark Secret," we find the results to trace directly to a statement made by a certain well-known sport writer who in speaking of Dempsey's inability to secure suitable sparring partners while in training for his fight with Carpentier characterized it as "The penalty of being good." This statement comes from Damon Runyon, the peer of the Hearst stable of stars; it is a common-sense statement and it might have been directed at the right party, but you may put this in your pipe and smoke if you like, there does exist a certain mitt wielder about whom a more logical statement could hardly be made and this man is none other than Harry Wills. Wills is undoubtedly (with the possible exception of Dempsey) the best man the squared circle is harboring today and is certainly the most logical contender for the Dempsey scalp and we not only believe it fair that he be given a chance at Dempsey's tainted trophy, but believe the public should and will in time demand a meeting between these two men. The method Dempsey is employing to dodge the issue of meeting Wills is simply ludicrous when he speaks for more than 100,000 fight fans by saying that they do not want such a match. Besides being a wonderful fighter Wills has a personality that is indeed commendable as was demonstrated recently at a boxing contest when Wills was being showered with applause, by both white and race admirers, and when he was asked to comment on the Dempsey situation Wills remarked, "Well, as long as Mr. Dempsey refuses to meet me I shall not trouble him." This very statement won for Wills thousands of admirers. It is certainly unfortunate that a mere question of color prejudice should keep a man from ascending to the peak of a profession of which he is undoubtedly the peer. However, let us pause for a moment and observe the savings of this very same writer: "The penalty for being good." 161,325 PEOPLE Have Seen The JEFFRIES JOHNSON FIGHT PICTURES E FIFTEEN ROUNDS!

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Sunshine and Shadows Sunshine and Shadows Those who enjoyed the mellow warmth of abundant heat, those who sparkled under the mistletoe and peered with faces wreathe with smiles thru the buoyant clusters of evergreens, those whose table Those who enjoyed the mellow warmth of abundant heat, those who sparkled under the mistletoe and peered with faces wreathed with smiles thru the buoyant clusters of evergreens, those whose tables were laden with foods and luxuries, those whose hearts were made glad by the rippling laughter of happy and free-hearted children, those who know not the pinch of hunger and the dismal squalor of poverty cannot appreciate and comprehend how Christmas and the Yuletide season was spent by those who live in the shadows of sorrows and weeped and moaned down in the lower crust of life. Life with its varied and complex situations, life with its smiles and joys and its tears and tortures must be viewed from its heights as well as its depths to get the true conception of humanity. To see the beat of human hearts, to see the souls of men unbared and the fictions of this age unveiled. A study at Christmas time reveals what brotherhood, human love and sympathy can do toward making life worth while. A man who had been cuddled in the lap of comfort and flattered with modest success, a man whose heart had always thrilled at Christmas time around the festive and convivial boards wound his way thru the rifting snows of a great western city. The man carrying mysterious bundles under his arms glanced at a piece of paper and was seen to dart here and there into woe-begotten alleys and climb his way up creaking steps to rear end flats. When at last his task was ended and he stood rubbing his chilled hands and gazing into the deepening dust of the Yuletide evening a realization of the purpose of life burst upon him, a revelation of man's duty to man. The man understood. If the world could have seen what the man saw, if it could have seen the little sick mother with half-starved babies crawling around on the cold and dirty floors of the wretched tenement, if it could have seen her burst into tears as he handed her the little bundle of food and sweetmeats and heard her rasping voice praying God's blessings upon him, for just a moment the shuffling feet of the dancers would have stopped still and the lifted glasses bent upon clinking together would have been halted in mid air and a desire for the fuller life would have seized their hearts. The old gray woman with the eyes of the afraid and hunted animal which seemed to burn into the very soul of the man while the flickering flame from the handful of coals did but sparsely warm the ragged children as they shivered between the bare walls of her one excuse for a room and to hear her cries of "Jesus have mercy" when her withered fingers greedily clutched the bundle of food to her breast would have beaten into the callousness of the world of today the sacred truth that it is more blessed to give than to receive. If those who live in the sunshine and splendor only knew of the shadows and the misery of those who dwell in the depths, if men but understood that true happiness only comes to those who relieve the woes of their brothers and sisters, to those who extend the helping hand to the weary who have fallen in the great struggle, life would be seen from another angle. Greed and lust would be supplanted by love and sympathy. Light would take the place of darkness, and tenderness would fill the hearts of those who have grown cold-hearted and stern. A better understanding between men would come, a fuller appreciation of humanity's problems, a broader horizon and a grander vision would be born to those who bask and revel in the sunshine of life, if they would but pay a visit to those who dwell in the shadows. When the sunshine melts the shadow, when the beams of human love vanish the bleakness of avarice and hate, when the true meaning of brotherhood blazes thru the labyrinth of present affairs, then the great dream will come true. For thru love and faith Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men will come. On the second day of January the doors of the Douglas National Bank will be thrown open to the public. This means that at last Chicago is to have a National bank owned and controlled by black people; it means that the efforts of P. W. Chavers, the President and founder, have been approved of by the United States Government and that this financial institution will have highest supervision that our banking system affords. It means that a new day is dawning in the financial and economic world for black people. We are proud of the Douglas National Bank and trust that it will perform a much needed service to the community. This bank will offer protection and service to its supporters which no other institution in the immediate vicinity is in position to perform. We welcome it and sincerely hope that it will give inspiration to the black business men of America. TORIAL HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith FROSTBITE By Dr. Troy Smith FROSTBITE Frostbite may be regarded as an acute affection due to When a portion of the body, not properly ported is or extreme cold the tissues become affected and if the intense and the exposure is sufficiently prolonged, the part becomes frozen. Individuals in whom the circulation is weak, particularly the young, the old and the debilitated, are especially likely to suffer from intense cold. The parts of the body where the circulation is least active, and which are least protected by clothing are prone to suffer—they are the ears, hands and feet. A. B. C. Different degrees of frostbite are recognized. The mild form. (2) The more intense associated with the development of blisters and (3), if the exposure is sufficiently severe, the entire part may result in gangrene. Locally the part becomes cold, pale or bluish, shrunken or wrinkled and there is loss, of sensation and diminution, or entire loss of the power of motion. The constitutional symptoms vary with the conditions of the individual and the extent of the lesion. Loss of energy, fatigue and weakness are early symptoms. These may be followed by an increased excretion difficulty, delirium, coma and may result if the condition is impoverished treated and neglected into de The prevention of frostbite lies in the protection of those parts of the body that are more frequently exposed. Individuals should be instructed to wear warm, loose woolen stockings and warm shoes. The hands should be well protected by warm gloves during the winter months and the ears should be properly covered, especially if the person is going to be exposed to the cold for any long interval. The general health of the individual should be looked after. If the circulation is poor, it should be improved. If the blood is of a low state, it should be stimulated. It goes without saying that strong individuals can stand more cold and frosty weather than debilitated ones. TREATMENT The best treatment for the mild cases, and these are the only ones that are suitable for home treatment, the forms of frostbite require the science of a well-trained physician, is friction with snow or cold water in a cold room, the changes to a warmer atmosphere being gradually brought about.

Adams:—A delivered an organ to me, under a written contract, providing that I should sell the organ, and pay over the proceeds to the owner. The title was not to pass until owner was paid. The owner sued the defendant who had received the organ from me in exchange for a buggy and $40.00 in cash upon being informed that I was the owner's agent. The owner was to receive $75.00. Did the title pass?—H. V. T., Albany, N. Y. Answer—No. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, authority to "sell" meant to sell for cash. As the owner of the organ did not authorize you to hold yourself out as the owner, he still retains title, notwithstanding the barter with the defendant. Editor Adams:—I bought a wagon at auction from Smith. On the same day I sold the wagon to a man by the name of Chase. Chase agreed to pay Smith for the wagon and Smith agreed to this arrangement. Chase failed to pay and Smith sued me for the money. Can he recover from me under these circumstances?—L. M. H., Meridian, Miss. Answer—There is a new contract relationship here between Smith and Chase. When Smith assented to the arrangement he accepted Chase as his debtor and discharged you, and his claim against you is thus extinguished. Accordingly you can defeat him in his action against you. Dear Editor:—At a trial I attended recently, the prisoner was convicted of murder in the first degree. The jury was instructed "in case of premeditated murder, the fact of drunkenness (of the guilty party) is immaterial. A man who is drunk may act with premeditation as well as a sober offe, and is equally responsible for the consequences of his act." Please inform me as to the correctness of this instruction?—J. M. L., Chicago, Ill. Answer:—The foregoing should be modified by instructing that in determining the question of premeditation, the defendant's condition as drunk or sober and any other fact tending to show his mental status at the time, is proper for the consideration of the jury, e.g., the killing may have sprung not from a premeditated purpose, but from sudden passion, though excited by inadequate provocation. This is a very interesting question for discussion and I thank you for submitting it to us for use in our columns. Attorney G. C.

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP President Harding in his list of pardons did not include the members of the twenty-fourth infantry who are now incarcerated in the prison at Leavenworth. If justice in America was meted out with unstinted hand these men would be allowed to breathe free air once more, but mercy to black men is only heard in bombastic and grandiloquent speeches. Little is to be expected from President Harding. Remember the Whip's editorial when Mr. Harding took the oath of office? Beware the Ides of March. Eugene V. Debs is free and he avows that he will fight just as bitterly for the cause of his conviction as he did before he was thrown in jail for advocating peace in time of war.

Debs is free and he avows that he will fight just as bitterly for the cause of his conviction as he did before he was thrown in jail for advocating peace in time of war. Debs stands in striking contrast to such leaders among black men as Henry Lincoln Johnson, Major Moton and those old-timers who know nothing of self-abnegation and the sacrifice for principles. Nineteen twenty-two will call for men of the Debs type to vindicate and elevate the fallen leadership of the black people. Now with a great rumble and roar comes the freedom cry of India—soon all peoples will rise up in their wrath and strike away their shackles and fetters. Nothing less than pure and absolute freedom are the doctrines which are enunciated by the leaders who are advanced in thought. It seems that the great difficulty with black people is that the mantle of leadership is cast upon the sluggards in thought and that the men of ability will not be heeded. With nineteen twenty-two let us have no compromise with ignorance and reactionaries. We want progressive action. Many of the southern senators are fighting the anti-lynching bill tooth and nail. How the heart of these men can be so corrupt and finer sensibilities so dead would strike the outside world as strange, but to us it is clear that a strong economic background veils the lynching. Lynching influences terror in the hearts of black men and terror causes the black men to be humble servants, easy prey for the plantation owners and farmers. After all, money protects lynchings and it will take money to destroy it, and toward any anti-lynching attack we should stand ready to pay. By Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of National Association of Colored People "THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA By Herbert J. Seligmann, Published by Harper and Brothers, New York City. Price $1.75. Postage ten cents extra. Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann in his book, "The Negro Faces America," has gathered together much of the latest material relating to the Negro in the United States. The book is a repository of facts. Those wishing to better understand recent race riots, the Negro in politics and in industry, should get Mr. Seligmann's book. Especially are the Elaine cases in Arkansas treated in careful detail. Those familiar with these cases know that they arose out of a condition of peonage and we note with interest the definition of peonage quoted by Mr. Seligmann as given by Justice Brewer. "Wherever we have compulsory service for debt, we have peonage, it matters not by what method the result is obtained." Under this definition we have thousands of cases of peonage among the Negroes who are doing compulsory service. The fate of the Elaine men condemned to death is thus of supreme importance to the Negroes of the United States, as their acquittal would be a death blow to peonage. Beside the important facts in the book there is a great deal of delightful discussion of the Negro question Lothrop Stoddard's "The Rising Tide of Color" (which we shall review later, has started many people thinking along lines of color as associating Mr. Seligmann touches upon the anthropological side of the Negro question showing how the United States has taken up the idea promulgated by the EDITOR'S MAIL Editor of the WHIP. 3420 S.

South In Saddle At Gotham Event The following clipping was taken from a Southern paper, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, referring to a dinner of the New York Southern Club: NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Five hundred men who were born in Southern states met tonight at the Waldford for the thirty-sixth annual dinner of the New York Southern Society. They laughed at scores of negro jokes and applauded references to "Democratic prosperity" and the traditions of the South. Speakers were Bishop Thomas F. Gallor, Tennessesee, president of the Council of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and United States Senator Thomas J. Hefflin, Alabama General Samuel McRoberts, president of the society, was toastmaster. "This Southern society," said Bishop Galler, "is good particularly because it reminds us that there are other places in this country than this beautiful, wonderful foreign city in which we now are living. It is good to remind us that we are Americans; that we are not a republic inside a republic and that we are not trying to support some sort of a republic inside a republic. It is good to remind us that there are principles worth dying for, reverence for authority, jealousy for justice and the aristocracy of character." Among the guests were Victor P. Clarendon, secretary of the British School and Universities Clubs; Alexander Walker, president of the St. Andrew's Society; Clarence W. Bowen, president of the New England Society; Welding Ring, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, and the Rev. Ernest M. Stirres. Senator Heinl with an endless supply of negro anecdotes touched occasionally upon the negro question in a serious way. He was anlauded when he said: "The best niggers in the world are to be found in the fastness of the old cotton boots. And they would remain the best niggers in the world, if these long distance champions from the North would let them be. If there is a problem there we will work it out our own way. There will be no half baked nortrees. We will settle it according to our own system and it will be to the best interest of both races." Referring to accomplishments of Southern men, Senator Heilin mentioned the name of Woodrow Wilson. Immediately there was a demonstration. Even the women in the galleries stood up, waved their handkerchiefs and cheered. BOOK REVIEW Germans of Anglo-Saxon supremacy and gone them one better. He has an entertaining time commenting on a book by William Benjamin Smith of Tulane University called "The Color Line." Indeed he gains the same entertainment with this book that Macauley had with the poems of Robert Montgomery. Those who recall Macauley's essays will remember he made famous a very secure poet by condemning him. In the same way, Mr. Seligmann brings again to light an obscure southern book, which declares that "flood and fire, fever and famine, and the sword—even ignorance, indolence and baggery, the South may endure and conquer, while her blood remains pure; but once taint the well-spring of her life and all is lost—even honor itself. It is in his criticism of what he calls the South's color psychosis, that Mr. Seligmann surpasses himself. We cannot remember ever before reading such clever satirical comment on the South's illogical treatment of the Negro question. "The Southern white man puts certain questions beyond the bounds of discussion. If they are pressed he will fight rather than argue. What to many educated and cultured persons of the North seems arguable and debatable, subject to critical examination and referable to scientific observation, to the southern white man is as sacred as religious dogma and is defended as passionately." It is against this dogmatism that Mr. Seligmann writes. His book ends with a demand to exact information on the Negro question in the United States. It might well be used today as a pamphlet to urge upon Congress the appointment of the Race Commission recommended by the President in his first message to Congress.—A commission which should report upon the conditions under which the Negroes live in the United States. for all of us if a copy of this editorial were read to every Negro club, lodge and church in the country.
