RUM CRAZED MAN SHOOTS UP SCHOOL
BREAKS DOWN DOOR KILLS AND WOUNDS CHILDREN AT STUDY
VALDOSTA, Ga. Feb. 25—Crazed by mean moonshine whisky, John Glover invaded a schoolhouse at Indianola, six miles east of Valdosta at noon Friday, killing "Sister" Mason, a six-year-old child, seriously wounding Stafford Berrine, a fourteen-year-old boy and in turn was shot and killed by a posse of colored citizens of the Indianola neighborhood.
Reports reaching Valdosta that the drink-razed man went to the schoolhouse, beginning to fire upon it as he approached. The colored teacher, fearing for the lives of the students, closed and barricaded the door. But this did not deter the murderous man, who was armed with both a pistol and a shotgun. With a load of buckshot from the gun, he tore the lock from the door and entered, continuing firing as he did so. Without having intentions toward any one especially, the girl was first in range of his hair of bullets, she being instantly killed.
The Berrien boy was next shot down. By this time, men from the farm houses about had been attracted by the noise of the firing and the cries of the children. Several of the men armed themselves before going to the scene and as soon as they got in rane of Glover, all opened fire. He fell with three wounds, but continued his rapid fire at everybody in sight. The posse of negroes, having exhausted their ammunition, turned to other means and the wounded man was beaten to death with a shovel, although it is certain that the wounds already inflicted were sufficient to have eventually caused the death of the madman. The affair created the wildest excitement among the blacks in the eastern portion of the country.
The promptness with which the negeral of the vicinity rushed to the aid of their children and the effectual manner in which they disposed of the whisky-crazed demon was highly commended by the white people of the section, it being reported that Glover had been very troublesome recently, due to his continued drinking.
Writer Would Be Register Of Treasury
PHILADELPHIA, Penn. Feb. 28.—The sending of many fake telegrams and letters to President Harding from Pennsylvania has caused W. Harry Baker, secretary of Republican state committee, to seek an investigation by the federal district attorney.
Mr. Baker revealed today that fradulent telegrams had been sent to the president purporting to endorse the candidacy of J. C. Overton, head waiter at a West Philadelphia hotel, for appointment as register of the United States treasury. The telegrams bore the name of Mrs. George Wharton Pepper, wife of Senator Pepper; Mrs. John Wanamaker, III; Mrs. Baker and others. Baker said none of the persons whose names were signed to the telegrams knew anything about them.
Mrs. Wanamaker said she had received a letter from George S. Christian, "secretary to President Harding in which he acknowledged receipt of an endorsement from her for Overton, and also of a joint telegram from her, Mrs. Pepper and Mrs. Charles S. Brown of Philadelphia, endorsing Overton.
Mr. Baker recalled that recently similar telegrams were sent to the president and Senator Pepper, asking that appointment of a state prohibition director be deferred.

Governor of North Carolina Issues Statement on Matthew Bullock Case—Says Brother Was Lynched, "But It Was Done Quickly"—To "Protect" Matthew—Canadian Judge Wants Witnesses:
RALEIGH, N. C., Feb. 19.—Reiterating earlier statements that if Matthew Bullock, arrested at Hamilton, Ont., on an extradition warrant from the United States Department, was returned here to answer a charge of attempted murder, every precaution would be taken to guarantee a fair trial. Governor Morrison said yesterday.
Nothing More Than Killing
"People in some sections of the country do not seem to understand that so-called lynchings in the South are nothing more than the killing of a criminal by the friends, and frequently outraged relatives of the victim of the prisoner's crime.
8he Governor expressed confidence that the State Department at Washington would act "with high respect for the State of North Carolina," in its efforts to bring about the extradition. County Judge Snider at Hamilton has refused to grant extradition until witnesses have been produced by the States of North Carolina to testify to the charges against Bullock, which involve his alleged attempted murder of Rabey, Trayler in connection with the Nolina race riots.
Lynching Done "Quickly"
"It is true that Bullock's brother was lynched, but it was done quickly, and before the state authorities had any knowledge of approaching danger, an assault being made upon the jail of Warrent county. The jailer was slipped up on and taken unawares. Within an hour after I learned that violence was threatened in Warrenton, where the jail is situated, I placed the whole situation in the hands of state troops. It would have been done sooner if it had been humanly possible. The troops brought about 17 of the rioters here to the state prison for safe-keeping. They were afterwards carried to Warrenton and duly tried and mercifully punished by the court for participation in the riot, which the Canadian prisoner, Bullock, led.
"Nothing But Ordinary Killing""
"Lynchings are never winked at by the authorities." Governor Morrison said in a statement, "and are always prevented where the authorities have any knowledge of the approach of danger and an opportunity to prevent it. What has come to be called lynching in the South is nothing but ordinary killings in other sections of the country. Because of the fact that some of our county seats are small villages, with very small police forces, and the jail kept by one man, those who are bitterly aroused and seek vengeance are able to go to the jail, and by some or trick, capture the jailer and take the sought criminal. "This very rarely occurs, and we have adopted a rule in this state now of bringing to the state prison in Raleigh for safe-keeping of criminals who have perpetrated crimes which, in the nature, in the community might cause violence. "Lynchings of this character are very rare; most of these occurrences called lynchings happen, before the officers apprehend the prisoner at all, and are nothing but murders committed by those who are outraged by the crime, and by the persons lynched. The officers know nothing of it until after it is over, and have no way to prevent it. "The sentiment against so-called lynchings in this state is pronounced and universal. We now have in the state penitentiary a white man who led a mob in an assault upon three Negroes in the hands of the authorities.
"I recently refused a grant of executive clemency to this prisoner. One of the three men sought by the mob, who was convicted f first degree murder and sentenced to death in the electric chair, has been recently commuted to a sentence of life imprisonment upon the recommendation of the judge and solicitor who tried him."
Friends Helping Fugitive
HAMILTON, Ont., Feb. 19—Developments in the Bullock case today were the renewed pledges of support from powerful anti-lynching organizations in the United States, officials of which have instructed Freeman F. Trelevan, the Negro's counsel, to spare no expense in seeking to save (Continued on page 2)

Shivering under the shadows of the Nation's Capitol, two hundred and fifty good Americans were initiated into the Ku Klux Klan. The Flaming Cross, Kileagles and Goblins can now be seen all over America. When will Congress find it necessary to investigate their activities again?
What Georgia Thinks Of Pensions
MAGNOLIA, Miss., Feb. 22—Maj. W. M. Wroten, of Magnolia, commander of the Mississippi Division of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued the following statement:
"Having learned that the pension committee of our legislature had suggested a re-classification of pensioners, placing all the blind and maimed on the same basis as those who were not so fortunate and believing I might be some service, I, in company with Generals Webb and Howell went before the pension committee and asked that the same classes as for 1920-21 be recommended. The blind $200 and the maimed $150, the balance to be prorated.
"I am glad to say the committee readily adopted our suggestion, and the bill has already passed the House.
"We took up with the committee the question of the negro pensioners who have been drawing equally with the white males and females.
"I advanced the idea that the black people should not receive a pension at all; that he deserved no more than the black man who remained at home and raised provisions for our army; that they had been receiving about one-fifteenth of our appropriation; that our pension rolls had been grossly abused by county pension boards.
We had approximately 50,000 men in the Confederate Army from our state. Not ten per cent of them are surviving, less than 5,000. There are 634 black people on our roll. If this represents ten per cent then there were 6,340 negro servants from Mississippi. We know that there were not that many in the entire Confederate Army. We have now 3,460 whites on our male pension roll and 634 negroes—one black man to every five and a half white.
"I think prorators will receive this year about $75,00, for 1922-23, $95,100, which should go into the pockets of the feeble old white veterans and their widows.
"There were more than 100,000 Southern black men in the Yankee Army. When acting as guards for our boys in prison they were cruel and inhuman, and took special delight in shooting them on the least provocation.
WESTBROOK SCORES IN BOMB CASE
With the quashing of an indictment charging malicious mischief, Judge John A. Swanson, of the Cook County Criminal Court, brought to an end last week a series of outrages and conspiracies aimed at a woman and her husband because they dared to live south of the line set at 39th St., and Grand Blvd., by the Kenwood and Hyde Park Association across which "to blacks should pass."
A.
After a series of bombings at their home, the 1940 Grand Hotel, the club, were finally ejected.
home, 4404 Grand ATTY WESTBROOKS Blvd., the Clarks were finally ejected by foreclosure proceedings, after numerous threats and attempts to buy the premises had failed.
Not satisfied at gaining possession of the Clark home, the conspirators then brought action against their victims, charging them with malicious mischief in damaging the premises. It was beyond contradiction, however, that the damage to the premises was done by the hurling of the conspirators' bombs.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark were held to the Grand Jury in May, 1921, in Judge Howard Hayes' branch of the Municipal Court. Lawrence Timbers and Patrick Flanagan, white, were the complainants. These two men were known to be officers of the Grand Boulevard Property Owners' Trust Fund, an organization believed to be involved in the bombing.
An indictment was returned by the Grand Jury upon testimony given by these men.
Attorney Westbrooks, representing Mr. and Mrs. Clark, appeared before Judge Swanson, attacking the indictment, and asking that it be quashed, declaring that it was returned through fraudulent testimony. Attorney Westbrooks also pointed out many other irregularities in the indictment.
The case attracted wide attention on account of the fact that Patrick Flanagan, whose name was endorsed as a prosecutor of the charge, is a former judge of the Municipal Court.
Dr. Williams Denies "Jim Crow" Charge
Objections that the operation of a training school to be operated by Northern Baptists in Chicago would set a Jim Crow precedent were overridden in a meeting of Baptist ministers at Olivet Baptist Church Wednesday. The meeting after heated debate accepted the offer of the American Baptist Home Mission Society to take over the Training School now operated by the Women's American Baptist Home Missionary Society.
Objections Raised
Objection to the proposal was offered by the Rev. E. P. Jones, and others, who declared that such action would set a Jim Crow precedent, and would be eventually followed by the closing of the doors of all Northern colleges to any but white students.
Dr. L. K Williams replied with the declaration that the school would not be segregated, but would be open to members of all races who wished to attend. He further stated that if such a school were called a "Jim Crow" school, then all churches of our race must be called "Jim Crow" churches as well.
After a heated debate, the proposal was unanimously accepted, and committees for organization were named.
Argo Bus Rolls Down Hill; Ten Persons Injured
Ten persons were injured, two seriously when a motor bus with employees of the Corn Products Refining company of Argo, Ill., turned over and rolled down a hill at a fork in the road between Archer and Cicero avenues and the Argo plant.
Witnesses say the bus rolled over three times and then stopped against the water pumping station in Summit, Ill.
James Mages, white, conductor of the bus suffered fractured legs and ribs. William Arnold suffered a broken back. Most of the passengers are employees of the corn company.
After extensive argument in which much law was cited, Judge Swanson sustained the motion to quash the indictment, and discharged the defendants.

PROF. HALE OUSTED,MUST FACE TRIAL
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 25—Prof. W. J. Hale, who was arrested several weeks ago on charges of defrauding ex-service men at the school where he was principal, has been held for trial to the United States Court by Commissioner Harry Luck.
In addition, Director Forbes, of the Veterans' Bureau at Washington, has ordered his removal as head of the Nashville school. Hale's counsel insisted that he be dismissed from further charges, but Judge Luck was sufficiently convinced that Professor Hale was guilty of extortion to hold him for trial in the United States Court.
Over 100 students testified that Hale and Robinson, a teacher, at the school, had loaned them money, charging extortionate interest, and that when their checks came from the treasury department at Washington, they never reached the students, but were kept in payment of the interest on the loan. The principal was supposed to be still due.
Steals Editor's Pie, Indicted
WINCHESTER, Va., Feb. 19.—Frank Timbers, a colorful youth of Strasburg, has been held for the Shenandoah County grand jury on charges of riffing the cash register of the local newspaper office and, worse than that, of stealing a large chocolate pie owned by Editor William B. Allen. The pilferings of Timbers, it was said, probably would amount to as much as $20 or $25, and the value of the pie will be left to a jury.
Allen also charges the miscreant with stealing several cakes he had bought at a sale held by the local Campfire Girls. The "goodies" were taken to the editorial sanctum by the editor, and it was his intention to have them for his bachelor dinner after Sunday school today, but, on opening the cupboard of his attic apartment, he found only some crumbs and traces of chocolate and white icing.

U.N.I.A. ON BRINK OF COLLAPSE
"I WAS AWAY ON TRIP"
IS EXCUSE MADE BY
MARCUS GARVEY
NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 25. Deep depression was thrown into the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Black Star Line stood on the brink of collapse when it was learned here late Thursday that Marcus Garvey, moving spirit in the "back to Africa" movement and three of his aids were indicated by a federal grand jury on charges involving a scheme to swindle the public in stock for sale in the Black Star Steamship Line.
Those indicated with Garvey were Elie Garcia, George Tobias, and Orlando M. Thompson, directors of the Steamship Line.
Indictment a Surprise
The indictment came as a sharp surprise to many of the followers of Garvey, who placed confidence in their leader's claim that the charges had been trumped up against him, and would fall flat when presented before a grand jury.
Charged With Defrauding
The specific charge on which Garvey was indicted was the use of the United States mails for fraudulent purposes, chief among them cited being the sale of tickets on the ghost ship, "Phillis Wheatley." It was charged that Garvey sold and advertised through the mails for sale passage to Africa on this boat, which records prove near existed.
The complaint also alleges that Garvey, by false pretenses and promises induced, solicited and procured various persons to pay and transmit to him money and property for the purchase of stock in the Black Star Line and for memberships in the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Garvey Blames Employees
In answering the charges, Garvey declared that while he was absent touring the West Indies and Central America, employees of the corporation mismanaged the affairs of the Black Star Line to the extent that complete demoralization and disorganization ensued. He also declared that money which should have been used for the purchase of the boat was used for other purposes. Garvey declares that while he was in the West Indies and Central America, "he was confident that such a boat as the Phyllis Wheatley was tied up at the docks in New York, and ready to sail for Africa."
"I'm Not A Bomber"-J. Gray Lucas
At a meeting of the civic committee of the Appomattox Club, Sunday afternoon, Attorney J. Gray Lucas took the floor and declared that he had been unjustly charged with being implicated in recent South Side bombings.
Attorney Lucas declared that the suspicion against him was on account of a speech he once made before the Hyde Park Property Owners' Association, which was misquoted by a daily paper. The mistake was corrected on the following day, he said.
He said he was willing to hand in his resignation from the club if any member could produce any evidence to show that he was in any way in sympathy with the bombing.
Incipient Race Riot in Movie Quelled by Police.
Police are called to quell an incipient race riot in a motion picture ushow at 1900 Soth Wabash avenue last night. Carlo Stans, a Greek, 18 East 16th street, said a colored man insulted his wife. He grabbed the man and attempted to beat him. Others of both races interfered. Policemen with drawn revolvers restored order

REV. DR. HEYWOOD,
OF SALEM CHURCH,
DIES SUDDENLY
At Chicago, IL, February 19, 1922
While out Saturday evening, carrying out his mission, ministering to the needs of the people, and after having performed a marriage ceremony, he was on his way home when stricken with concussion of the brain, (so termed by the attending physicians). Feeling himself growing weak, and being near the home of Mrs. Lela Jackson, 125 East 32nd Street, one of the members of the church, he stopped in seeking relief. Seeing that he was rapidly growing worse, medical aid was summoned by Mrs. Lela Jackson. After many futile efforts, she and members of the family were successful in securing two physicians. When they arrived, however, after a hasty consultation, they pronounced his case hopeless.
Before lapsing into unconsciousness, he called his wife twice, saying, "Lilian! Lilian! / His last words were, 'Farewell Salem, Farewell Salem.'"
Rev. Dr. Heywood was dearly beloved by members and friends of Salem Baptist Church to whom he endearced himself. Rev. Dr. Heywood with the following eight persons, Brothers D. Anderson, Charles Crawford, Sisters Mylissia Root, Flora Waugh, Sarah Mack and Mother Brenner, (the other two who are deceased), organized a mission March 18, 1911. In April, 1911, it was by the power of fifteen sister churches to Ebenezer, (of which he was a member), it was organized and known as Salem Baptist Church. These eight with six thousand, nine hundred and ninety-two members, constitute the present membership of the church. This achievement was accomplished during the brief period of ten years. In this time, Rev. Dr. Heywood succeeded in burning the mortgage to all property belonging to Salem Baptist Church.
In addition to the above membership, God blessed him with an increase of one hundred and twelve souls, as the result of one of the most successful revivals ever held in this city, these were to have been baptized by him Sunday, February 19, 1922. It seems that he had a premonition of the end. This belief is born out through the fact that he had a heart to heart talk with all of the church auxiliaries very recently. In his talks with the various auxiliaries, he impressed them with the necessity of banding themselves together and being of one accord. He cautioned them of the evil of allowing anything to deter them from their purpose, also to stand by him in his plans to make Salem a power for Jesus Christ. Three of his specific plans were these: the building of a community house south of

Our Roberta D. (Crawford) won a scholarship at Chicago Musical College recently; now, she appeared upon the program at Grace Lycum last Sunday afternoon with Miss Marion Jeffrey, accompanist, and—well, what does she always do? You said it! Reverend Jackson (of Grace) asked us: "Who has the best Lycum?" We told him in his ear. Ask him what we said, but do not tell Reverend Robinson of St. Marks, or we will take it back. Very close.
Listen: There is a lot of spite work going on in certain musical circles. It has been doing so for about three months. Now we have decided to take a hand in this business—even if we have to show the "hand" of a certain individual, who is trying to double cross his church, his organization and his friends.

Grundy, Mesdames Gaines, Harris Nelson, Coleman, Sturky and others were present, many of those to whom she has given her talent at various times stayed away. Miss McCurdy also received tremendous applause. "Mc' is steadily climbing to the front as "The big time pianist from the Big Time Choir. Let's call her that huh?" Alr!!!
Oh, yes. The Ushers entertained at Community House last Wednesday; was a riot of fun and good talent combined. The dramatic reading by little Miss Mercedes Black proved just as we said before, "she only needed a smaller space capacity than the large auditorium at Wendell's to show you what she could do. She is only twelve, but "skins" some older folks in the art. Robert Waugh with the violin was so good that bot hhe and little Miss Black were signed with the "D. K. C. Co." galaxy of artists. These two appear with the company. Not at St. Catherine's on Monday, 27th inst., but at Hope Presbyterian on March 14. O, yes, Ruth French is well again. She will appear in poses on the 27th inst.
Mr. E. Grundy was master of ceremonies at the Usher's affair. The wedding stunt by E. J. Donnely (bride), T. H. Philip, R. E. Jones and "junny" Rose was a scream. So was their trio. Mrs. Lily Nelson sang the sweetest solo of the week; class to her work, too.
Dr. Cook and many of his officers were present both nights.
At Grace Lyceum, Maude Roberts-George was missed. She is ill. All music lovers extend condolence and sympathy to ALL our family indisposed. But Miss Marguerite Lewis and Attorney George "carried on." We afirm—they carried on. Opening up with that imitable master of ceremonies (except Dell) Dr. C. E. Thompson who presented the "scholar, orator and gentleman." Earl Dean Alexander, from Ohio State in: James Russell Lowell, Poet of Freedom, they gave to us a brand new brand of oratory—slow, easy, comprehensive, yet grippingly interesting. Ever hear that kind? Alexander! Listen; take some of the fire from Otis B. Duncan's speech and add it to the polished words of "Del Roberts" then slow up the whole business—result: The Alexander style. Get it? Thanks.
O. Gee! We found a BIG TIME baritone! O, say, Grace presented also Mr. J. T. Brownlow, baritone in "Because" and an encore. He was accompanied by Mrs. E. Kriser-Cooke who certainly knows her keys, pedals, tones and everything, then does what she knows. But we are talking about the little, big baritone, Brownlow. Tones are full and mellow, like Lowe of Olivet, but stronger—like Oscar Brown or Frank O. Raines. Besides, that fellow Brownlow is a very intelligent and polished man. We could tell that, although we never met him formally—one could see it. We have his address, if anyone wants to get in touch with him. He can beat your baritone. That much is vertain. Why? We know all of them. That goes.

WHAT CAROLINA GOVERNOR THINKS ABOUT LYNCHING
(Continued from page 1)
Bullock from Southern mob vengeance.
From both Walter F. White, New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and president of the National Progressive Association at Washington, have come messages containing the assurance that neither influence nor money shall be lacking to have Matthew Bullock remain in Canada as a free man.
Witnesses Must Come
With Judge Snider having said with considerable emphasis that he will not accept any sworn depositions, but will insist that witnesses come from Norlina, the next development in the case hinges very largely on whether or not witnesses will come from Norlina.
In view of the quiet but assiduous efforts the Norlina authorities have made to take Matthew Bullock back South for trial, it is quite probable that several witnesses will come here and swear against the Negro. They should be here by next Thursday, as the hearing before Judge Snider will be held on Friday.
Need Only Prima Facie Case
In one sense, legal procedure at this hearing will rather operate to the advantage of the Norlina authorities. They will he called on to make out a prima facie case. It is not a difficult thing to "swear a man's life away." It has been done. Bullock, on the other hand, will not be allowed to testify at this hearing, nor can be call any witnesses on his own behalf. What he can do, however, is to have his counsel cross-examine any of the witnesses who testify against him. His status will be that of any defendant who receives a preliminary hearing in the police court.
Appeal to Justice Minister
In event of Judge Snider finding that the Norlina authorities have established a prima facie case and thereby committing Bullock for extradition, the latter will still be granted a stay of 15 days, in which an appeal can be taken to the Minister of Justice. On the other hand, if Judge Snider adjudges that Bullock shall go free, then the United States authorities can also appeal from this to the Dominion Minister of Justice.
Local colored people have reformed their strong organization to aid Bullock. Under the leadership of Rev. J. D. Howell, they are interesting other members of their race throughout the province. A mass meeting will be held in St. Paul's A. M. E. Church next Thursday night. Bullock's father is said to be en route to Hamilton from his home in Washington, and is expected to reach the city tomorrow.

RUMMAGE SALE FOR URBAN LEAGUE NETS $400
The many friends of the Chicago Urban League will be happy to know the results of its Rummage Sale. First and chief among the results was the demonstration of co-operation given by the people of Chicago of both races and all classes by checking, pricing, arranging, selling, contributing, or buying the material or giving time and thought to planning the sale. They, each and all, were indispensable elements in the final success of the whole effort. The officers of the league hardly know how to express their thanks adequately to these splendid people. The space allotted prohibits the mention of all of them by name, though they are certainly worthy of public recognition.
The net monetary result thus far is $416.91. The executive secretary, T. Arnold Hill, therefore takes this means of expressing publicly his very great appreciation of all who in any way contributed to the success of the sale.

Glencoe Citizens Hold Meetings
William A. MacIntyre, M. E. Wolfsohn and Joseph E. Snowden of the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corporation were invited to Glencoe by the citizens to tell them about the merits of this growing corporation. The people of Glencoe face the same situation as do the people here in Chicago. There is a syndicate of white people and property owners who are buying up all the mortgages and fore-closing them and thus forcing the colored population to leave the town. One very valuable piece of property was just redeemed through the Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Corpo-

PROF. MUNDY SCORES IN "MARTHA"
The representative of The Chicago Whip who witnessed the final rehearsal of "Martha," by Jas. A. Mundy and the South Side Opera Company, was accompanied by several of the best critics of Chicago. The comment by these critics was that there was no visible nor audible reason why the Opera "Martha" should not be presented strong and to a permanent success at the Auditorium on Washington's Birthday. The Chicago Whip goes to press on the evening of the opening of Martha, therefore we cannot give a thorough review until next issue. But if the weeks of training and the advice of the experts who witnessed the rehearsal count for anything the presentation should be a TRIUMPH. The list of the box holders, including the best musical talent and representative citizens prove the great interest and a large crowd is assured.
Regardless to the announced intention of certain people "to knock" the performance, it is certain that the opinion of the public will be a final judgment. Our representative will not rely upon his own judgment will give the statements from: "People Who Count." Watch The Chicago Whip for a full review of Martha NEXT WEEK.

Dunbar Story Set To Drama By Hampton Student
HAMPTON, Va. Feb. 25.—"How Brother Parker Fell From Grace," a dramatization in five scenes of Paul Laurence Dunbar's short story, by William A. Shields, Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla., a member of the Dunbar Literary and Debafing Society of Hampton Institute, was recently presented by the Dunbar Society in Ogden Hall before a large audience. The church scene, in which Dunbar's "Ante-Bellum Sermon" and several of the old-time "spirituals" were used, was particularly effective.
The society's program, which was called "An Evening With Dunbar," included the singing of Ball's "Who Knows?" by Lorenzo W. Campbell, Englewood, N. J., and the recitation of "Ere Sleep Comes Down" by William A. Shields, Jr.

SOUTH HAS
FUNNY IDEAS
ON LYNCHING
(From Savannah Morning News)
TO PUNISH LYNCHERS
Under the provisions of the anti-lynch-
ing bill in Congress the killing of « negro
man by a few persons near Ellaville re-
cently was a lynching, although tew per-
sons took part in it who were not closely
related to the two white men shot by
the negro, When more than three per-
sons kill a_man, it is a lynching under
that bill. As a matter of fact, the kill-
ing near Ellaville was not a lynching,
as that word is generally used. It was
just an act of revenge on the part of
‘a few white men, and the two soldiers
who accompanied them, according to
the story, did so without’ apparently any
idea of assisting in the killing of the
negro, But whether it was or was not
a lynching, it is well indeed that war-
rants have’ beem issued for all the men
who are said to have taken part in the
fatal search for the negro. And this
case suggests to those who have actually
found something in any lynching to ex-
cuse, that when the lynching “spirit is
manifest, when white men think they
can kill ‘not in self-defense or with full
justification and suffer not at all for
what they have done, it is high time
to make an example of men who go
in a crowd, large or small, and kill
a negro.
That some of the elements of the
average mob action were lacking in
the Elleville case does not fail to make
this case one that should be siited to
the bottom. The fact that mobs do
lynch and escape all punishment may
have been at least a factor in causing
the death of this particular negro; and
if these men, upon being found guilty,
of course, are punished a step will have
been taken toward putting an end to
crowd-killings of negroes, whether in
sure-enough Iynchings | or by, small
groups of persons with presumably some
direct personal interest in the act of the
negro whom it is planned to kill,
Evidently there has been a consider-
able change in opinion in Georgia in re-
cent months. Perhaps the fact that the
anti-lynching bill has passed one branch
‘of the Congress and is expected to pass
the other may have had something t
do with it, Maybe Georgia people are
seriously. thinking of whether or not
their failure to suppress lynchers in
Georgia has not been the biggest excuse
for some Congressmen to advocate and
vote for the bill.
Most Georgians think that the state
should have full power to‘punish persons
in its borders and on its soil who. are
guilty of any sort of killing, whether
the deed be done by one man or a hun-
dred. But the fact remains that Con-
gressmen who wanted to'make it appear
that some parts of the South were not
sufficiently capable of self-government
as to bring such persons to justice found
in the numerous lynchings and the re-
peated and customary failure to. convict
anybody for the crime of lynching al
the excuse they wanted for voting for
the anti-lynching bill, and all the excuse
they need to offer their constituents. fo
yoting for it. We do not want. the
United States government to come down
here and punish our lynchers—not that
we don’t want them punished, but be.

The sermon Sunday morning at

livered by Rev. Mathes, a visitor and
spiritual preacher.
‘The sermon was well handled but
from some cause or phenomena tip

spiritual singing ted by “Choral King”
Jones, which greatly aided in this part
of the service Many accessions were
made to the church and important an-
houncements of future activities
proved that the Center is steadily
moving forward, All are looking for-
ward to the big musical on the fourth

at 3:15 P. M
NOSEY was asked to dinner last week. Naturally he accepted.
N week. Naturally he accepted, although he knew that one of exponent and supporter of prohibition. It seemed that the younger male member did not know that one of the guests was against the drinking of liquor, so he made everybody a milk punch and it was strictly "punched." The "prohibitionist" put the glass of milk (to his lips, tasted it and then swallowed it with a smile. Putting his glass down, he remarked, "My, how I would like to own a cow which produces such milk!" Nosey smiled and passed over his ginger ale high ball and said, "Try this ginger ale and then buy some stock in the Cliquot Bottling Company, because this is wonderful ginger ale." He tasted it and decided he would, as he thought soft drinks ought to be the only ones. They all drop sooner or later, whether they admit it or not.
---
ON TUESDAY afternoon, Nosey was in the loop. He followed a lady who looked like a hand-painted rose. She was with a blond gentleman, who seemed fascinated with her. The rain came. They ran for shelter. The hard drops of water dashed in her face and lo! All of that beauty started to run! Then Nosey knew when he saw the brown showing up from under the pink and white that the lady had learned the art from Clarence Muse, whose make-up changed from a dark lined mound to a fair blond. She did not learn all of the secrets though because Muse's make-up would stand dampness. At once, the poor man did not know what was happening, but it scared him enough to make him beat a hasty retreat. Nosey saw the lady disappear in a nearby store to repair her losses.
---
SATURDAY NIGHT last Nosey was crossing 35th and State streets about midnight. A couple crossed in front of him. A bottle dropped. It broke. The man berated the woman. She attacked him. He struck her. She landed in the street rolling in an undignified manner. She arose and staggered at him to renew the battle. A policeman came up. The quarrel was stopped. The lady went one way and the man another. Nosey stood over the spot where the bottle had broken. The fumes shouted to him—"Moonshine." Nosey hinged a while inhaling the fumes and then he, too, staggered off. to his downy couch to sleep the sleep of the seven sleepers. Funny about "moonshine," it does the unexpected.
---
EVERYBODY HAS his troubles. Nosey was passing in front of a pawn shop window Tuesday night. Four people were standing in front of the window in deep and loud altercation. Nosey paused. The man was trying to prove to the girl that she jewelry in the window was not the jewelry that she had let him have some time ago and which she had been after him for some time to return. She said that unless he got that out that night she was going to have him arrested. Suddenly he ran. She screamed. He disappeared. She wept. Then rage seized her and she sought a policeman. Nosey thinks that this should be a lesson to those who have jewelry in trust.
---
YOU MUST NOT eat too much if you expect to keep healthy. Nosey saw a lady who was walking along the street in a sidewheel fashion much like a crab. He knew that she must be sick. When she nears tell. Nosey seized her. She said that she wanted a lady attendant. Nosey got this for her. She had eaten too much and was too proud to admit it when she got home and had to eat again. She thought she would walk it off. Dressed in last year's dress which was too small—hence the discomfort. Now, she swears that she will never again try to be stylish and eat her head off as well.

BEAUTIFUL MT. GLENWOOD
The Coming Cemetery of Chicago and Cook County
Mount Glenwood Cemetery, located twenty-two miles south of the City Hall, between the villages of Thornton and Glenwood, contains one hundred and three acres, more or less, of land which has been improved at an expense of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000). Dollars, which improvements consist of landscaping, macadam roadways, trees, shrubbery, three sets of ornamental iron gates, a chapel and superintendent's quarters with modern improvements. Thorn Creek runs through the cemetery, adding greatly to the natural beauty of the grounds. The cemetery is surrounded by a county forest preserve and thereby receives the benefit of the natural beauty of those tracts.
The cemetery contains fifty thousand lots, of which approximately fifteen thousand have been sold, and twenty-two thousand additional lots are to be sold within a six-month period commencing Feb. 1, 1922. The remaining lots will be divided up into single graves for single burials for the future. One-half of the cemetery has been fully developed, laid out, beautified and completed. The same work on the remaining portion will be finished in the early summer of 1922. A complete waterworks will be built and in operation about that time, for the purpose of supplying water throughout the cemetery. Lots up to and including the present time have been sold at prices ranging from $75.00 to $400.00. There were no lots sold for any less than $75.00 since the present improvements were completed.
It is now proposed by officers of the cemetery to sell the twenty-two thousand lots for the flat price of $50.00 each, instead of $75.00 and upwards, as heretofore. These lots are to be sold on the installment plan. The purchaser will pay $10.00 down upon the signing of the contract and $10.00 or more per month until the full purchase price is paid. In addition to title to the lot the purchasers shall each receive two shares of stock for each lot purchased by them, which stock is now being sold for $15.00 per share. The lot owners will have a double interest in the cemetery, that of lot owner and that of stockholder. As a part of the revenue of the company about $1.50 per year will be collected from each lot owner as a fixed expense for watering the lots and cutting the grass for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in first-class condition. This is a sum considerably less than is usually charged by other cemeteries for like services.
It cannot be too strongly emphasized and borne in mind that while the cemetery is one of the most beautiful and attractive in the City of Chicago and its environs, set the price of $50.00, not to include the stock bonus which is easily worth $30.00, representable by 25 per cent of the selling of lots in the average cemetery.
Do not fail to secure one of these choice lots while they last. It is the coming Oak Woods of cemeteries in this city. Every family and householder should own a lot thereby providing for the future for our bereaved ones just as we do in everything else. Agents will call and see you upon request and furnish full information; Call the office by Phone Victory 6254 or visit our office at 3125 S. State Street. Come and select a choice lot while you can.

CUSTOMERS
TELL the merchants from whom you buy food, clothing, and other supplies, to stop littering your lawns and hallways and choking your mail boxes with flaming circulars and handbills advertising their wares. They don't do it in Hyde Park or on the Gold Coast. Why do they do it here? Tell them to make their appeal to you as they would in any other self-respecting community—through your organs of public opinion—your newspapers.

VAUDEVILLE AND
MOVIE REVIEW
The Grand
Billy King’s “Whirl of Joy” on the
second and last week, 1s drawing im-
mensely.
This is one of Mr. King’s best pro-
ductions, and has won immediate pop-
ular fancy.
Scott, Ray and Thomas, one of the
cleverest acts on the stage today, are
easily the hit of the show. although
Sarah Martin, singing "Down Home
Blues” and Edmonia Henderson, sing-
ing “Tuckey Home” register a high
mark.
Madame Margerite Scott, a finished
dramatic soprano, scores ‘heavily in
the rendition of “My Hero” irom "The
Chocolate Soldier.”
Genevieve Stearn, now an excellent
talking and singing soubrette, is good
to look at, and interesting to hear, but
a little more dignity in her song num-
bers will send her over as a legitimate
star. i
A little lady, I believe by the name
of Ethel Jackson, possesses a beauti-
ful light soprano voice, and pleasingly
sigs “Georgia Rose” and “The
Shick.”
Of the speaking cast much praise
can be given to the premier come-
dian and his partner, Mr. Rodgers,
who are the chief funmakers in droll
comedy. Mr. Gunn also capably
plays the role of Tommie Tattle, in a
natural fashion, and Rastus Lee, as
Professor Buggs, was hilariously fun-
ny and showed much dramatic ability
in his work
“he Whirl of Joy” is a fine show
and it would be interesting for the pa-
trons to know that Mr. King wrote
the show on a Monday, staying up all
night, and called his’ rehearsal on
Tuesday, gave his first, performance
on the following Saturday in Louis-
ville, Ky., and opened the show at
The Grand on Monday, Feb. 13th,
after a week's preparation,
Truly this is wonderful, and to think
what a show he has brought us, new
ideas, new people and. wonderful cos-
tumes,
Among the whirlwind dancers who
all make good are Dink Thomas, Billy
Cornell and a new couple to the stroll
who are not on the program, the lady
being an excellent toe dancer.
Mr. King will open in a brand new
show on Monday, Feb. 27th.
“CONFLICT”
At the States Theatre, Friday and
Saturday, February 24-28.

New York Herald says: “Full of
pulsing action.”

“Wills To Face Norfolk
Harry Wills, whom they say is the
logical opponent for Jack Dempsey,
ha; been matched to meet Kid Nor-
folic, A great deal of interest is man-
ifested in this bout because Norfolk
holds a decision over Big Bill Tate,
who recently cépped the title from
Wills. Norfolk is a crafty fighter with
a triphammer punch and Wills will
have to fight every minute to beat
him, ‘Both are heavyweights, although
Wills is twenty-five pounds heavier
than the Kid and several inches taller.

~ MAKES ROGERS QUIT
La Force, Veteran Trainer
Of Pirates, Is Dead
| PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 25.—
‘Ed LaForee, 33 years old, and the
‘oldest trainer in baseball, died Satur-
Iday afternoon at the St, John's Gen-
eral Hospital, North Side LaForce
'was a landmark around Pirate training
quarters and different ficlds. through-
Gut the National League circuit, and
Ne had served for 22 consecutive years
Las head trainer of tie Pittsburgh club,
The entire baseball world mourns the
‘loss of this veteran of the diamond.
LaForce, according to reports, had
been ailing for several mayiths, but
[was able t0 be about most of the tine,
ind his condition did not appear to
ibe alarming.
| During the season just past, La-
Force was unable to make one of the
Eastern trips with the Pirates, owing
to an attack of heart trouble, but after
six weeks in. the hospital, he recov-
lored sufficiently to resume his duties.
[He was. at Forbes Tield early: tast
week, but later suffered a sinking spell
and was removed to the hospital, but
never rallied.
Born in Indiana
LaForce was born on November 21,
1808, at. New Albany, Ind. In his
early days he was employed by. the
Pullman Company. Going to Louis-
ville, Ky. he obtained work at the
baseball park and in 1805 was given a
regular position by Barney Drevius,
who at that time was president of the
Colonels, then in the National League.
“Ed. as he was generally known,
oon acquired a knack of looking after
injured athletes and his services were
almost invaluable in reducing sprains
rendering first aid when pkiyers dis
placed ligaments and looking aiter the
Wellare of the team when rubdowns
were required
Comes to Pittsburgh
When Dreyfus took over the Pitts-
burgh franchise and brought the pick
of the Colonels to this city in 1900,
Fred Clarke, then manager of the
team, urged that LaForce be retained
as trainer. He served for 22 consecu.
five seasons in that capacity, traveling
Iwith the team from the moment it
sorted in the South in the spring until
[the end of the season, with the excep
tion of one year, when he was inca-
pacitated by an accident.
Hurt in Accident
| It was some 15 or more years ago
that Clarke took all his players on a
|visit to his Little Pirate ranch near
\Wintield, Kan, While at the prairie
farm, Fred led his teammates’ on a
|hunting trip, and the horses drawing
the wagon in which LaForce was rid-
ing, became frightened when one of
\the’ boys fired a repeating rifle. The
|vehicle was upset and Walorce sus
|tained a bad fracture of one of his
lankles, He was lald up in hospitals
the greatest part of that season and
the veteran trainer walked with a
limp during the remainder of his life
LaForce was never happier than
with “his Boys,” and was loved by
every player on the team. Being ¢x-
ceptionally fond of music, he often
joined in the chorus when the Pirates’
singing quartet got into action in the
clubhouse or on the train that carried
them from city to city.
Close Friend of Clarke
The old trainer, after 27 years of
continuous service under the same
employer, was brought into touch with
all the stars of the past and present
in fact, there were few players he did
not know personally. His long ex.
perience with athletic injuries enabled
him to acquire knowledge of medi-
cine and anatomy, and he was. pro-
nounced second to none in his Hine of
work, He was exceptionally well
liked by all the ball players and Fred
Clarke counted him one of his best
friends. The ex-Pirate manager never
came to Pittsburgh without looking up
his old trainer
Fighter Attacks Manager—Is
‘Racca Gut
Startng out to conquer more
rlds before he has succeeded in dis-
nosing of those within his reach is
robably what caused a certain well-
wn fighter, who is aspiring for the
heavyweight championship and was
recently knocked out by Big Bill Tate
to latest undertaking
After having a petty argument with
manager the fighter decided to at
tack without manager, referee, or even
x. but when the dist cleared away
d the onlooking crowd that would
i de any promoter smile, dis
c at had taken place, it
roved that this fighter had again

As far back as history goes we find race athletes playing a conspicuous part
in athletics, and perched well among the leaders. A trip through the records
of famous jockeys show such riders as Abe, who piloted the famous LeConte
‘in his mateh with Lexington; Isac Murphy, the greatest of them all; Sims, Barnes
and a number of other world beaters. In baseball, the national game with closed
doors, we find such players as Grant, Lloyd, Charleston, Wiley, Williams and
four own Rube Foster furnishing no shadows for the illuminous Cobb, Sisler,
Speaker, Johnson and others, Football, the game of honor, in which money
means little, honor means everything, mostly because it is a’ college game, we
find our greatest contribution, Such players as Lewis, Pollard, Shelburne, West,
Robeson, Williams, Slater, Marshall and others we might mention command
a respect that few players in the game enjoy
In tennis race chances have had their worst discriminating biow and through
negligence it has been allowed to remain in solitude. Not until last years did
race tennis show any signs of coming into its own. Are we thoroughly con-
inced that Tilden, Johnson, Vincent Richards and other national figures would
have triumphed over our own Holmes, Brown, Williams and ether race stars?
Remember, with a little effort on our part we might have sent owr ace abroad;
let's wake up.

IS CHARITY FAILING?

Charity in America, especially as it affects those of African descent, has been a potent factor in advancing civilization and ministering to the needs of humanity. The kindly dispensations of charity have stimulated education, assisted Christianity and encouraged worthy professional and business endeavor. Is charity becoming puffed up and unkind? Is the heart of philanthropy getting cold?
Whether we are in sympathy with capitalism, communism or liberalism, America's great wealth is controlled by a favored few and the majority of the common people, regardless of their race affiliation, are dependent upon this wealthy minority for assistance in grappling with the gnarled and twisted problems of life. The capitalists of America have among them many who love humanity and deplore the systems which prevent a more equitable distribution of wealth. Wealth is hoarded up nevertheless. Moth and rust doth decay and thieves break through and steal. Whether wealth should be hoarded up is not our issue, but when the wealthy show disposition to scatter their dollars among the poor and to suplant ignorance by education and poverty by plenty, the robber, the thief and the unworthy should be condemned.
Charity has been abused. Philanthropy has been deceived. "Those who once gave freely, now give little and those who never gave now give less." The crimes committed against philanthropy are not directly or collaterally aimed at the crime of capitalism and neither justification nor excuse can be placed upon that reason. Capitalism may suffer a tragic end and wealth may become a burning memory of blood, but capitalism does now exist, wealth does now exist and so does poverty and human distress. Charity, which has sometimes been called love, is indispensable to America, to her mongrel people and particularly to her black citizens. The way upward to her black people is more perilous and rock-strewn than to others. The doors of opportunity are in most cases barred. The black people are in abject need of the benevolence of philanthropy and the kindness of charity.
Since emancipation, the hand of charity has aided. Schools, universities, churches and eleemosynary institutions are silent monuments to that fact. The friends of yesteryear seem neither numerous nor conspicuous as the year of 1920 draws to an eventful end. Gifts to "the people of the night" are scant. The strings around the purse of philanthropy are tightened when swarthy faces appear. Why does charity to them seem to fail?
It seems to fail and grow cold because it has been abused and misused. Individuals of dark hue, with long green coats, shifty eyes and long grasping fingers have extracted great sums from the wealthy for spurious causes and institutions that never existed. Others have by criminal craftiness secured large sums which have been converted to their own unworthy use. Charity seekers have hounded the wealthy through the busy hours of the day into the wee hours of the night. The cry of "Give me for my poor people" has struck into the souls of the benevolent with the same gruesome monotony as the quaking Raven's "nevermore" struck into the bitterness of the unhappy Poe. Charity and philanthropy are at wits' end. The will to aid needy humanity still survives, but trust and confidence in it has been shaken and undermined.
The black people of America must stop hounding the charitable. Let every cause be worthy. If thieves (who are not peculiar to race or color) be known, they should be exposed and prevented from further exploiting of a whole race. It is time now to think of independence. The mendicant and beggar is never independent. Wealth controls almost every human activity. Let the means be legitimate to secure it and the ends justifiable. Charity never fails where worth can be found and proved. Charity is "long suffering" but let it suffer no more from "black hands."

By Dr. Troy Smith
During and after an attack of influenza or lagripe, too much attention cannot be given to the care of the body. On a whole, cases of lagripe are not considered seriously enough. Many sufferers of the mild type of lagripe never go to bed, but continue at work and in many instances spread the disease that they only consider as a common cold to their co-workers or members of the household. These sufferers often go along without seeking medical advice and either try to doctor themselves by taking patent medicines or various teas which some ignorant neighbor, who knows nothing of the workings of the human body, has prescribed. This is indeed bad practice, as even the mild cases of lagripe sufferers should stop work and rest, for in all cases of infectious diseases the tissues heal better if the body is at rest.
Proper care in beginning cases of influenza or lagripe not only shortens the duration of the disease, but often prevents complications. Under normal conditions, where there is no complication, the fever lasts on an average of three days. After the fever subsides the patient should exercise extreme care during convalescence. He should not subject himself to exposure by doing any physical exertion before his system returns to normal. He should take
tonics to increase the appetite and by all means have peaceful sleep.
tonics to increase the appetite and by all means have peaceful sleep.
The complications of influenza are even more dangerous than the disease. Pneumonia is a very common complication that occurs in those cases the slow in beginning treatment and in those whose systems are weak at the stage. While lagripe is not the direct cause of tuberculosis yet there are numerous cases that have been aroused by an attack of lagripe.
The next most frequent complication is middle ear inflammation. The sinuses in the region of the nostrils may become affected. All types digestion may result from lagripe. Mental depression and even it may follow attacks of lagripe. Inflammation of the heart valves and even heart muscle occur as complications of influenza.

To J. S. F.: Your question is not sufficiently intelligible for me to give you any answer on the same. Please explain the facts to someone and have them write to me for you giving fuller information and I shall be very glad to answer the same.
Ques.: I expect to send out form letters to firms and business people, explaining and advertising my system of printing business and to receive orders in return, then pay a man who runs a printing and engraving business to do the work for me, then I will send the work back to the person or firm that ordered it. Kindly let me know whether it is necessary to have license for such work.
Ans.: No, as long as your business is done by correspondence or as long as you operate no printing establishment of your own, no license is necessary for this work.
Ques.: I have finished paying for some lots which I bought on time. Nothing was said about recording the deed which has now been given to me. Must I have it recorded and must I pay for recording it?
Ans.: Yes, to both of these questions.
Ques.: I moved out of a flat, owing several months rent. I moved because the flat was too unsanitary. The owner has now sold the building to another party. Am I still liable to him for his old rent.
Ans.: Yes.
Ques.: My lease expires May 1st and the landlord has served notice that he will not renew it and that I must vacate on that date. If I cannot find a flat and do not move, what procedure can he take to put me out, and will it be an added expense to me?
Ans.: He can have the bailiff put you out after having gotten a judgment against you in forcible detainer. In the forcible detainer suit, a judgment for costs and possibly for double rent would be rendered against you.
Ques.: How many years has one got in which he can sue upon a judgment note after it has become due?
Ans.: Ten years.
Ques.: A street car ran into a team which I was driving and damaged the team and I got hurt pretty bad, but they refused to pay me anything. Can I force them to settle with me and, if so, what should I do?
Ans.: Consult a lawyer and have him take the matter up for you. The question of liability of the street car company to you is dependent upon whether or not the accident was due to the fault of the motorman or to your own fault. If you sustained valid injuries in the case and you can show from the facts of the case that you were not at fault but that the accident was due to the fault of the motorman, then you have a liability case against the street car company.
UNDER THE LASH OF THE
WHIP
Our friend Garvey is clever. In last week's issue of the Negro World, his mouthpiece, headlines read that the "Ghost Ship" deal would be explained. The world has been waiting for dilatory and delinquent explanations and when they come the best that Mr. Garvey can say is that dishonest and irresponsible agents made fraudulent representations to the public. The specific charge against Mr. Garvey is that he used the mails to defraud the public by means of advertising stock in the ship Phyllis Wheatley, which does not exist. Mr. Garvey saw every copy of the World and he should face the issue like a man. He has been indicted. While we wish him no harm, we have no sympathy for those who mislead their blind and trusting followers.
The Senate peacefully confirmed Atty. Froe as the new Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The Senate refused to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. The Chicago Whip informed its readers that "Linc" was not confirmed because of his vulnerability to the attacks of the Southern Senators. His recent political reputation was too unsavory to permit him to hold public office. The fact that he was a black man was only a contributing cause. The confirmation of Mr. Froe establishes the Whip's contention.
Since it seems that the Dyer Bill is about to pass, the South is becoming alarmed and many of its statesmen are contending that it is capable of settling its own problems without federal intervention. This old worn-out argument should be hooted and jeered because the continued activities of the Southern mobs have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that the South is not ready for self-government—that is as far as black people are concerned.
Black actors and musicians who entertain white audiences where and when their own race is barred and Jim Crowed are not aiding their race in winning respect and recognition. They say that a man's intelligence can be measured by his sensitiveness and susceptibility to insult. If that is true, the black artists, musicians and actors are not very intelligent. We believe, however, that in the grind for money that they have "pocketed their pride" in order to make a financial point. The regrettable feature, however, is that the pride of the whole race is pocketed and fathers and mothers are humiliated.

REAL ESTATE NOTES
The City Hall program of improvements and the widening of Grand boulevard to extend to 23rd street has certainly raised a howl from the faithful. They should not, for the king can do no wrong. For instance, one poor widow lady with a little piece of property facing west on South Park avenue has just received notice of the small assessment of $610; on top of that she will receive a shock when the tax bills are mailed, for they have been raised fifty per cent again. I understand that an association of property owners have formed an organization to combat the high assessments and make a general effort to reduce taxes on the South Side. They seem to lose sight of the fact that though colored owners and tenants reduce property values for sales purposes, they do not reduce them for assessment purposes. It would be a good thing for the proposed organization, while it is making an effort to reduce the taxes, to make just as hard an effort to increase property values by improving the neighborhoods, that is to say, improve the physical appearance of the property, use the carpenter and painter for just what the should be used for; plant grass seed and if necessary put up some fences to protect, clean out the back yard.
and patch up the fences and gates. The ministers could do a lot of good missionary work if they would spend a few Sundays teaching their flock that it is just as essential to live right here on earth with clean streets, green lawns and beautiful flowers and it to prepare to go to Heaven in search of pearly streets and rare flowers; if they learn to enjoy them here they will be able to appreciate them better when they reach the accepted goal.
The vast majority of people that rent believe their duty ends when they have paid their rent; and an equal percentage of landlords believe the same thing when they have collected their rent. Both sides are wrong and the sooner a common ground of understanding is reached, the better it will be for the whole community.
A subscriber writes us saying that she has leased a certain apartment, paid two months' rent and is still unable to obtain possession owing to the fact that the old tenant is still in possession and that the landlord refuses to put the old tenant out. It is not the duty of the landlord to dispossess the old tenant, it is the duty of the duty who has leased the apartment. After a lease is made with a new tenant, the landlord is not obligated and is unable to put the old tenant out of possession. The landlord, not being entitled to possession, cannot bring suit to recover the premises, the right of possession being in the new tenant.
The Political Pot
Dr. Geo. C. Hall, famous physician and welfare worker, has filed a petition for Congress. Dr. Hall has an eminent record behind and is still active and vigorous in adding the many institutions which are helping his race. Dr. Hall is silent so far as to what his platform will be, but it is expected that he will stir the city soon. If aroused he will the race hot and the winner will know that he has been through a fight.
Morris Lewis is a candidate for the legislature again and masmuch as he missed election in the last race by a narrow margin. He will run a splendid race again. Mr. Lewis has enviable record for honesty and ability and all of his friends have pledged their support.
Attorney Oliver A. Clark is also a candidate for the legislature. He is supported by an organization of young blood. He is a splendid young man, able and conscientious. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and Northwestern University. All of the Georgia vote is pledged to Mr. Clark and to the best man goes the victory, Watch Clark.
R. E. Parker is also a candidate for Congress. Mr. Parker likes the good, old retired fire engine horse runs for something every time the bell rings. In every race there are "alsorans." No one can ever tell what a "dark horse" will do.
Our Friend, "Crip Woods," is in the race for county commissioner. His many friends are pledging him their unqualified support. Mr. Woods is well known in local politics and stands a good chance of winning.
Dr. Wm. H. Huff, candidate for the state senate, is lining up his forces, he was seen in many places last week and he is indeed earnest about the race. Doctor Huff is a fighter and those who know of his splendid work in the Third Ward know that he is novice in the game. He has reviewed the endorsement of Ward Committee-man Levy and the 1924 Republican Club. Keep your eyes on Huff.
Senator Ettleson made a powerful speech at the Metropolis Community Center on last Sunday. The senator is a powerful speaker and carries his audiences with him with ease. He is getting down to business for the senate race and is backed up the solid support of Mr. Oscar DePriest, nuuff Sed.

FROE'S CONFIRMATION
The appointment by President Harding, and the confirmation by the Senate of Arthur C. Froe of West Virginia, as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, will meet the general approval of the colored people of the country.
Of course, there will be a few, no doubt, who play the "If I can't have it, you shan't" game that will be disappointed. But that will be only a few and will be of that class who wield but a very little influence with the race.
We suspect that as soon as "Link" Johnson heard of the appointment of Mr. Froe to the office that caused him so many "spells of high blood pressure" and "nervous breakdowns," was the first to greet him and shed a few crocodile tears, and said, "I secured your appointment." We are quite sure that he had the gall to do so provided he was able to walk after he heard the news.
The speed with which the Senate confirmed Free's appointment, shows that the failure of "Link" was not a matter of race prejudice, but it was

"The Handbook Series: Selected Articles on the Negro Problem." Compiled by Julia E. Johnson. Published by the H. W. Wilson Co., New York. Price $2.25. Postage 8c.
This book which is just off the press will find a long felt want. It is a compilation of opinion on the Negro question, with also a liberal sprinkling of fact. It has an admirable bibliography, giving 24 pages to books and magazine articles on various phases of the race question. While this is not exhaustive it is up to date and valuable. It is, in short, one of the Wilson Handbooks, and those who have been to the public library for help in working up an article or a debate on "immigration" or "Labor" or "Prison Reform" must often have used one of these handbooks and have known the convenience having a compilation full of important matter all gathered into one comfortable volume.
In her explanatory note the compiler says: "In accordance with the general plan of the Handbook Series, the aim constant in both reprints and bibliography has been for impartiality toward all views, and selections have been chosen from both white and Negro writers, from opposers and sympathizers of the Negro alike, yet with the aim not so much to maintain exact balance as to give expression to views, that reflect representative opinions and conditions of race friction, and that serve best to indicate the way for constructive effort." This is quite true and there is material in the book with which none of my readers will agree but on the other hand every unfavorable article has a favorable one to balance it. If we have a reactionary article on Negro suffrage by William A. Dunning, it is followed by Archibald H. Grimke, on "Why Distranchisement is Bad." Wallace B. Conant tells us that emigration is the solution of the Negro problem, and Stanhope Sams, writing from a Southerner's viewpoint, says that "One of the chief obstacles to a satisfactory solution of the race question is the want of race-consciousness and race pride on the part of the Negro," but George E. Haynes and Kelly Miller are quoted afterward in refutation.
The tenor of the book is generous and the Southern authorities quoted almost without exception belong to the liberal group. Edgar Gardner Murphy, Mrs. Hammond, Kesler of Texas, Wilner of Tennessee are among the Southerners quoted. Washington and DuBois are given more space than any other colored writers but many are quoted. Of especial interest is an article from The Challenge on "The Economic Interpretation of Peonage." It is a wonderfully fine piece of writing, very quiet in its tone, but with terrifying facts regarding the conditions in Jasper County, Georgia, where John S. Williams had his "murder farm." The saving of articles like this give such a compilation of its great value.
Another article, printed some years ago, that one is glad to read again is Theodore Roosevelt's "Brazil and the Negro." Appearing in The Outlook in 1914, it called down wrath upon the editor. Roosevelt did not find the white Brazilian drawing the color line and he saw intermarriage usual in that country between the two races. His quoting a prominent South American who believed that the Brazilian had chosen the wiser way in accepting amalgamation seemed greatly to excite the reading public. We are glad to know that Roosevelt, whatever his conviction might have been, was ready to discuss amalgamation. In her preface the compiler, Miss S. Johnson, says: "The Negro has a separate life of his own that we are not generally aware of, just as classes within our own race have their mutual centers. It is the normal way of growth, but, made too exclusive, it is the way, also, of unhealthy self-centeredness and agitation." This hand book shows the agitation, it brings out the facts of the Negro life in America today, and it does it in an attractive form, by quotations from first one author and then another, each complimenting the other and making a rounded whole. As I said at the beginning, this book is of especial value to persons taking parts in debates. It will doubtless find its way into our libraries and schools and it is an excellent addition to any private library.

because the man was unfit for the place.
So far as the race is concerned, we should be glad that Mr. Froe received the confirmation for the office as Recorder of Deed and not Henry Lincoln Johnson.
Mr. Froe has a reputation for honesty and integrity, while Link Johnson has neither, according to our way of thinking.
We are not taking advantage of this opportunity to "knock" Link, because so far as we know, he is not a candidate for any other appointment, and we hope he will not be. He ought to give his friends a little rest from the embarrassing position in which they have been placed trying to defend him.
We would suggest to Mr. Johnson to make good his boast that he was able to make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer.
If he will do that and quit begging for a job at Washington, and quit "sponging" on his friends, perhaps he will be able to redeem himself in the eyes of some. But if he doesn't, then he should be condemned the more.

Against Strenuous Opposition of White Companies Paco Organization Does Splendid Business.
NEW YORK, 26.—Starting in February, 1921, with cash receipts of only $674.64, the Paco Phonograph Corporation, manufacturers of Black Swan Records, reports receipts during the month of December of $20,467.82.
The total cash receipts for the year are given as $104,628.74 with disbursements amounting to $101,327.17.
The business done by this concern is distinctly encouraging for it must be remembered that the receipts of this corporation are largely from colored people against not only the keen competition existing in the phonograph industry but the underhanded, malicious and persistent opposition of several of the large white companies.
Sharing in the prosperity of this company are colored employees, musicians, composers, singers, printers and the like, many of whom would be without remunerative, dignified employment but for this concern.
The Twentieth Century Art Club
The Twentieth Century Art Club met last Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Mayme Mumphrey, 3561 Rhodes Avenue. Mrs. F. Carter and Mrs. Russell were guests. A lovely luncheon was served. Twelve ($12.54) dollars and fifty-four cents was turned over to the treasurer for the flower fund of the Twentieth Century Art Club. This sum was realized from the valentine party given at the residence of Mrs. L. Meriweather, 443 East 41st Street, last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Meriweather is improving from recent illness. Mrs. M. Roberts, social secretary.
