THE REPUBLICAN CRISIS Members of the Republican party throughout the United States are dazed and shamed by the lack of leadership in their great organization. They cannot understand why the Republican party is subjected to the most humiliating and damaging charges without arousing the resentment of a single leader in congress; The leaders are not only defied, but insulted, and they take their punishment as if they deserved it. The administration is vilified and the entire Republican organization brought into contempt and worse than contempt. It is even charged with protecting criminals, and with being itself a participant in crime. The government is terribly injured by the wholesale accusations heaped against the party in power. Paralysis has overtaken congress. There is a wide-spread defiance of the law. The people are beginning to suffer because the party to which they confided the government is unable to function. What is the matter with the Republican leaders? Can it be true that they are trembling for fear that further revelations will confirm the truth of what now seem to be infamous calumnies? Or are they caven weaklings who are afraid to stand up for truth and right, because of a selfish desire to keep their own individual names out of the current scandals? One or the other suppositions seems to be the truth. Secondrels or moral cowards—it is a hard alternative, and the people shrink from imposing judgment. But the people will not wait for ever. Republicans by the millions, whose pride in their party is a part of their life, are not disposed to tolerate the cowardice of their leaders in congress when abominable allegations are made attacking the integrity of their party. There is beginning to be widespread belief that there is corruption, back of the silence which the leaders fear to face—Washington (D. C.) Dally Post. Will Keep the $50,000 Trenton, N. X. J.-Judge Wells of Burlington County ruled against the contestant in the matter of the will of the late Mrs. Emma L. Woodward (white) of Trenton, who bequeathed the bulk of her estate, amounting to from $40,000 to $50,000, to Miss Amelia Stuart, a member of the race, who had been for thirty years her faithful and beloved servant. George J. Tate, former president of the Tate Baseball Co., has succeeded Josh H. Devoe as manager of Hotel Majestic. It is said Devoe is to become an umpire in our National Baseball league. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Charges Him With Adopting Battling Siki's Methods Of Dealing With Those Who Anger Him—Says Durkee Attempted To Throw Prof. Turner Out of His Office and That He Insulted Prof. Kelly Miller and Others of the Race. Washington, D. C., April 9, 24 To President J. Stanley Durkee, Howard University. Through the colored press the alumni of Howard University are reliably informed that you insulted Prof. Thomas W. Turner of the science department, and attempted to throw him from your office by physical force simply because he asked you for several requisitions that were long overdue. We learn further that when your easily-aroused temper subsided and you realized how such an outandish and unheard of offense would injure you, you called him to your office and made tulipsome apology which did not, and cannot, cure. This, sir, is only one of your many serious offenses against the dignity and rights of the colored professors, the alumni, and the colored race. Sometimes age you summoned Prof. Kelly Miller from his classes in a most offensive manner, insulted him in your office, before a restricted Negro world in order to make a good living, they should at least bring with them a reasonable respect for the race whose opportunities their advent is narrowing. Respectfully yours, (Prof.) Neval H. Thomas. A PRINCE AND PRINCESS! At The Globe Theater, Next Week—Hindu Mystics Who Can And Will Tell You What You Want to Know. Manager Bob Davis of the popular Globe Theatre has been fortunate enough to secure the greatest added attraction, for next week, the world has ever known. Prince All Sadhoo and Princess Isis, garbed in their native costume (India), will appear at the Globe Theatre for one week, starting Monday, April 14th. They will answer any and all kinds of questions, pertaining to business, travels, love affairs, changes in cities and business and will tell you if your friend, relative, sweet-heart, a committee that had waited upon you, and even went to the limit of calling him insulting names simply because he had exercised an ordinary American right of expressing his views on a public question that was then agitating the city. The faculty generally stand in fear of your brusk treatment and your adverse recommendations to the board of trustees should they resent it. You are certainly a fortunate beneficiary of the extraordinary self-control of these two dignified, scholarly gentlemen. Let me remind you, too, that black men and women—and espies—play a big role here—have borne the burden in the heat of the day and brought our alma mater up to her present fame and eminent service, and not you. You are a new-comer to a great seat of learning, already built, and able to pay you the magnificent salary of $11,000 per year, so grossly out of proportion to the meager stipend now granted to the consecrated blacks who have labored through years, sometimes for almost nothing. Your high-handed dealings with the alumni in harmony with sorial staff. You have insultingly those you meet out to the professhired a convenient Negro from the pulpit, Rev. Emery B. Smith, as alumni secretary, when the alumni in open election with members from many portions of the country prosecuted the veteran alumnus, Dr. William A. Sinclair, to that post. You are paying him $4,000 per year with offices and clerk hire in addition from university funds, far more than the faithful professors receive after their years' of service, and in face of the fact that they are now doing the real work of our alma mater. You have even gone further and ordered Rev. Smith to publish a monthly magazine in the name of the alumni, The Howard Alumnus, when the alumni was already publishing and paying for its organ, The Alumni Sentinel. Thus you have abolished the ballot, destroyed all semblance of alumni autonomy, and disfranchised the loyal sons of Howard from all participation in the affairs of the university they love. May I ask how much is expended, from the university treasury on YOUR "alumni" organ. It is printed on paper of the finest quality and is distributed far and wide free of cost—an expensive organ and an expensive editor for the sole purpose of keeping the alumni under your domination. Your recent attempt to saddle the surrender of the splendid appropriation of $500,000 for our medical school upon Prof. Miller is most reprehensible, for YOU, and not he, was the father of the compromise. Even the noble Senator Phipps could not make you admit you needed it, and your last word to the Senate was a surrender of this magnificent opportunity for Negro youth. Senator Phipps then put the item in the bill in spite of your surrender, and then you proceeded to misrepresent Howard's greatest son. Kelly Miller, and make him responsible for the huge loss, but his record of 'noble service to Howard and the whole race thrue the whole circle of her interests stood him in good stead, and in itself was ample refutation of the cruel charge. Let me admonish you finally against the continuation of bourbon tactics when dealing with colored people. We are just like any other people, our color making no difference, and only the foolish element of white America are capable of holding a different view. When white men are forced to invade the cruelly- IN UNION IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS KEE!

Respectfully yours, At The Globe Theater, Next Week —Hindu Mystics' Who Can And Will Tell You 'What You Want to Know You Want to Know. Manager Bob Davis of the popular Globe Theatre has been fortunate enough to secure the greatest added attraction, for next week, the world has ever known. Prince All Sadhoo and Princess Isis, garbed in their native costume (India), will appear at Globe Theatre for one week, startingondemand for 11 hours. They will answer any and all kinds of questions, pertaining to business, travels, love affairs, changes in cities and business and will tell you if your friend, relative, sweet-heart, husband or wife are telling you the truth or not. This is a limited engagement and it will be the ONLY opportunity for the patrons of the Globe Theatre to witness a real Hindu spiritualistic mindreading act. They really read your mind, and if you do not believe it go and see for yourself. Write your questions home and take them to the theatre. They will read your question word for word, call you by name and then give you an answer that you will be benefitted by. Now these people do not see any one in private at their hotels and the only chance for you to see them will be at the theatre. Through the kindness of Manager Davis, it has been arranged for them to give a special show for ladies only, Saturday afternoon, for which the Prince and the Princess will interview each and every lady attending the special show FREE OF CHARGE! Prince All will lecture upon that vital question which every woman should know: "Make your homes happy and keep them happy;" how to make your husband, sweetheart or friend love you. Do not fail to see these strange people from the land of mystery, "INDIA." The Prince disdains the use of mechanical or electrical appliances and uses no assistants. He declares his performance is the result of sheer concentration, the power of mind over matter. It is an entirely different exhibit than that which is usually seen on the stage. Garbed in their royal native costumes with a special setting in an atmosphere of mysticism the two present a very beautiful and interesting picture. Prince All Sadhoo and Princess Isis have played two years in New York and one year in Chicago, playing all the leading theaters, from one to six weeks in each place. In addition to the foregoing, Manager Davis of The Globe has eight selected acts of first-class vaudeville—four big headliners: the great blues-singer, SARA MARTIN; Joe Stewart's 12 jazz syncopators, and BUTTERBEANS & SUSIE, two of the best comedians that ever came out of the South. There will be a special matinee, Saturday afternoon, for ladies only, and a Sunday matinee and midnight show, Saturday-Sunday, for everybody, male and female. Do not fail to go to the Globe, next week. Then you will be sure to tell your friends and acquaintances all about it, and they, too, will visit the theater. Great show, next week! Browns Open Next Sunday The Cleveland Browns, who are to represent this city in our National league, have been hard at it for the past eight days, under the vigilant eye of Manager Sol White, the old veteran. Present indications are that he will have a very strong club. Some of the men on his roster are: Orvill Singer, second baseman, former star of N. Y. Lincoln; Don Hammond, hard hitting shortstop; Bill Francis, veteran third-sacker; Miles and Vic Harris, speedy outfielders; Ray, catcher, and Johnson and Gordon, pitchers. Fans on the avenue are waxing enthusiastic over the Browns and many who have not been to the park for a year and a half, will be out this season. Manager White, who is proving very popular, promises they will not be disappointed. The locals open their first home game, next Sunday, April. 13th, with the speedy Tellings, city and national: Triple A champions.

SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 Do not fail to read carefully the Washington (D. C.) Daily Post edi- torial, "The Republican Crisis", pub- lished elsewhere in this paper. It is a political literary classic just at this time. There are now 135,000 Afro- American voters of both sexes in Indiana, 150,000 in Missouri, 10,000 to 11,000 in Delaware, 147,000 in New Jersey, 67,000 in West Virginia, 275,000 in Ohio, and a good many thousands in Connecticut, all pivotal and important states. It was "poor Tom," not "Uncle Tom" (Councilman Fleming), when Councilwoman Marie Wing got done with him, and the rest of her opponents in the City Council, Monday evening, and last week. The chairman of its police committee (Tom) did not know whether he was "afoot or horseback", it is said, and began to whine (play the "baby act") about somebody attacking him "because of his race." Hidiculous! No wonder so very many of our people in this community are ashamed of the "Negro" member of Cleveland's City Council. There are few members of that body of local "statemen" as bright and able as Miss Wing, daughter of the late Judge Wing, and our advice to Tom, is to steer clear of the Wing "buzzsaw" in the future. A FEW REMINDERS President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of the U. S. Navy, Mr. Josephus Daniels, unctuously observes: "There never was a suggestion that the hands of the men of the Wilson Administration were not clean." Mr. Daniels' memory should be refreshed. How about the investigation by Mr. Charles E. Hughes of the aircraft scandal, wherein was recommended the court martial of those who were responsible for aircraft production? How about the millions stolen through the cost-plus contracts in building cantonments? How about the numerous frauds in the construction of our emergency merchant marine? How about the ninety-odd indictments obtained by the Department of Justice on war contracts? How about the naval oil lease legislation, obtained at the urgent request of Mr. Daniels himself, which policy, if we are to believe our Democratic friends, was utterly indefensible? The list might be prolonged by enumerating scores of instances of the most outrageous graft and inefficiency in providing supplies for our overseas army. If former Secretary Daniels thinks that such hands are "clean," tor heaven's sake what is his conception of dirt? NEGROES FOR COOLIDGE? "No Republican who has the interest of his party at heart need have any fear about the loyalty of the Ohio colored voters in the campaign, this year," said Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, a member of the Republican national committee. He made this statement at the White House: "Ohio has between 275,000 and 280,000 Negro voters, men and women," said Johnson. "There was some disaffection among them, but that is a thing of the past. The Negro only of Ohio, of other states where the colored vote is a large factor, are for the Coolidge. They are for him not perfunctory, but with all their hearts and souls and all their sentiment." The foregoing, clipped from the Columbus (O.) Daily Dispatch, a "Coolidge" publication, was sent to us, recently, by one of the leading, thoughtful members of the race living in that city. The following comment accompanied it: "I am sending you a clipping from March 10th issue, which will be self explanatory. Mr. Johnson seems to be like most of the other race leaders, so-called. When they speak they do not have the interest of the Negro at heart, but only their own selfish advancement." TRUTH! Henry Lincoln Johnson knows ab- solutely nothing of the attitude of Ohio Afro-Americans toward President Calvin Coolidge's candidacy and shows it plainly by what he says. What is still worse is the evident fact that he had made absolutely no effort to find out what it was and is. "Like most of the other race leaders, so-called," apparently he does not seem to care to know. And the Columbus Evening Dispatch, this Negro's name is among those signed to the Lincoln League's resolution, sent to Hoke Donithen, Ohio Coolidge leader, on Feb. 12 of this year, "urging the propriety of placing a Colored member on the Ohio delegation-at-large," something Ohio Afro-Americans were and are clearly entitled to! We are very sorry. We thought Johnson a far different sort of man. And his insulting interview was given "at the White House" where doubtless he was begging a job from the President for himself or some one else. LORD, HAVE MERCY! "The Negroes of Ohio and other northern states where the Colored vote is a large factor," have absolutely nothing to thank President Coolidge for, to date, and for Johnson or any one else to say that they "are for Calvin Coolidge, not perfunctorily, but with all their hearts and souls and all their sentiment" is a positively silly statement which it is difficult for us to believe that he or any other sane member of the race could or would make. It is really ridiculous. The Harding-Coolidge administration made the great mass of our people heart-sick with disappointment and chagrin. The Coolidge administration has not changed this condition in the least, up to date. If anything, it has aggravated it with its few insignificant appointments, properly referred to as "the shadow for the substance"; with its studied refusal to wipe out the disgraceful and disgustingly insulting segregation in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere; and with the Coolidge leaders in the various northern states denying our people their rightful representation in the party's primary elections as they have done in Ohio, Kansas and other northern states. These are only a few of the many good causes of complaint and "disaffection" that will cause thousands of Afro-American voters in "Ohio and other states where the Colored vote is a large factor" to refrain from voting, this fall, if they are not promptly removed by President Coolidge and his state managers. There is precious little Coolidge enthusiasm among the masses of white Republicans throut the country, these Teapot Dome days, and none, absolutely none among our people anywhere, and the Republican National Committeeman from Georgia is a mighty dumb politician if he does not know this. And we have yet to meet the person who said Henry Lincoln Johnson was a dumb politician, even they may characterize him as a truckling political servant of the big Coolidge leaders, as his "White House" interview, published in the Columbus Dispatch would indicate.

RUSSELL Eastern Cities Query if Head of "Black Klan" Here isn't An Ex-Convict. Is "Rev. Dr." Paul Russell, head of the Lincoln United Knights, otherwise known as the "Negro Klan," which had its foundation in Youngstown, last week, an ex-convict? This is the query, made by Youngstown since the news of the new order's establishment here has been given to the press wires. The following communication was received. Monday morning, from The Watertown Daily Times of Watertown, N. Y. in regard to "Rev." Russell; "Last April there was a colored preacher visited here giving his name as Rev. Ralph Paul Russell, and representing himself as financial agent for the Covington Colored Orphanage, Giving Green Kentucky. As a result of his work, he was arrested here and returned to Elmira where he was convicted of petit larceny and sentenced to a year in the Rochester penitentiary. Telegrams from Bowling Green brought word he was not known there. From Rochester we learned this morning that he was released from the penitentiary there.

Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises may circumstances or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

NEXT WEEK Superlatives are the only means of aptly describing Jimmie Cooper's Revue, which is coming to the Columbia Theatre, next week. Without a doubt, it is the snappiest, jazziest and most colorful burlesque show which has visited the city, this season. It is, in fact, a half a dozen shows in one, and under the guiding genius of one James Cooper the entertainment commences to gather momentum until it reaches the end and presents by a boy of girls that are really restful to the eyes. The audience is not left in doubt long as to why the management calls it a "chummy" show. With the ubiquitous and general Jimmie Cooper constantly in and off the stage admonishing the cast to put more pep into their performance and to ginger up their singing and dancing, it is evident that he is making an honest effort to put the show across and give the seat-holders their money's worth. And he succeeds, too, at every performance. Cooper is a whole show in himself, for few, if any, the stage are as full of "pup" as this indie worker. His revue is divided into two parts, the first half being given over to white actors exclusively and the second to Afro-American entertainers. After the intermission the latter give their show, one of the liveliest and most tuneful combinations of jazz, harmony and "blues" singing seen or heard in many a day. Heading the white aggregation of entertainers in support of Mr. Cooper are PRIDE ISOLATES CLASS Haughtiness of Swiss Particlans Keeps Them Home. Swiss particulans plume themselves on being the most exclusive aristocracy in Europe. So exclusive are they that of late years they have been reduced to associate solely with one another, for they are for the most part not rich enough to travel, and it very rarely happens in these topsy-turvify days that anyone goes to lineage to be permitted to associate with them. Besides they have a marked dislike for foreigners, because, as one of them was kind enough to explain, foreigners, although a source of profit to inknepees and the like, are to them a source of positive loss. Before the tourist took to stalking about in their midst living was cheap there, it seems, and servant maids were plentiful. Now living is terribly dear, as they count dear and not a servant maid is to be had. Nor is that all. Although the touri- t does nothing for them but step on their toes and annoy them they must pay higher rates and taxes that he may have good roads to walk on and spiral railways in which to travel. This at any rate, is their tale. Thus, if they scowl when they meet him—and they certainly do—it is not without reason. --- ```markdown ``` Rita Rose, as prima donna, Midgie Gibbons, soubrette, Mabel Lee, ingeneum; Bernie Green, juvenile, and Fred Harper, who assist Jimmie Cooper in the many comedy scenes. As special vaudeville interludes Cowboy Bill Prult, double-voiced vocalist, and Miss Rose, comedienne and singer, will round out the "white" offering. In our novel the company are in Arthur's ten syncopaloves by Bessie De Sota, a dancing traveler from "Plantation Bays" Octavia Sumler, jazzy singer of "blues"; Reuben Brown, challenge disciple of "strutting," and a host of melodious plantation singers and shuffling dancers. All really GREAT! In the white portion of the show Mr. Cooper has assembled a chorus composed of some of the prettiest girls found in burlesque. He has trained them to work with all the finish of principals and has clothed them in a bewildering array of exquisite costumes. And the Cooper himself uses with the chorus imbu- himself with emotion and enthusiasm, this ensemble of girls can be truthfully described as one of the peppiest and best working outfits of the year. TEXARKANA, Ark. —Bishop J. C. Martin of the C. M. E. Church, was hauled off a Cotton Belt train here, last Saturday, taken into police court, and fined $25 and costs. His offense was riding in a Pullman car while en route to Waco, Texas. This state has a "jim crow" car "law." A Hundred-million Robins in Eastern United States. Washington, D. C., -Partial returns from the census of birds which, for the first time in its history the United States Government is now undertaking, indicates that there are wide variations in the bird population in different parts of the country. The most numerous bird life so far reported is the Chevy Chase, Maryland. An average was found there of about 7 pairs per acre. Only a few places report as high a population as four pairs per acre, while it seems probable from the data so far received that the average for the whole United States east of the plains will be not far from a thousand pairs to the square mile after omitting the land in corn and potatoes where there would be small chances for any birds to nest, and after omitting also the land covered entirely with forests. Timber land supports a much smaller bird population than an equal area of farm land. The most extensive census of forest so far received comes from Montana, where the careful counting of the birds on nearly a thousand acres showed an average of one pair to each three acres. As would be expected the arid lands of the Southwest show the smallest bird population, and large stretches in Arizona and New Mexico do not contain more than one pair of birds to seven acres.

Compliance. Washington, D. C.—A fungal disease of cultivated mushrooms has reduced the yield in certain houses from 20,000 pounds to less that 1,000 pounds a year. Extensive mushroom plants in the eastern part of Pennsylvania which supply the eastern markets establishments whose collective products exceed one million pounds of mushrooms annually. The same blight which is known as the "Mycogone disease," is reported to have caused annual losses of about $200,000 to mushroom growers of Paris. An effective method for the control of the blight has been evolved in the United States, and all mushroom growers will be interested in its exposition in a new bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, entitled "The Mycogone Disease of Mushrooms, and Its Control." The common form of the disease in this country as well as in France consists of a white velvety coating that covers the mushroom. The normal development of the gills in prevented and as the disease progresses the color darkens and the tissue decays. The cap of the mushroom is frequently distorted and arrested in development by the fungus. Diseased houses should not be used for the cultivation of mushrooms until at least three years have elapsed after the house has been abandoned. Fumigation will control the disease in the houses, but will not keep them free, since bringing infected material, tools, etc., into the houses will certainly start the disease anew; therefore every precaution should be taken to prevent the reinfection of the houses after they have been fumigated. Girl Breaks Engagement. Oakland, Cal—Everywhere that Ada Nason went they asked her, "When are you going to get married?" Following the golfers over the Claremont links here she came face to face with the question on every contested green. At the dancers callow partners purred the query into her ear. Over the bridge table play was suspended time and oft by the impudent and, Miss Nason declares, imphilogregation. Miss Nason's engagement was announced last spring to Edward Akins, prominent in the club life of Oakland and unusual interest centered in the supposedly impending nuptials. Quite naturally folks betrayed curiosity as to day and date. Therefore, out of a clear sky came from Miss Nason the positive announcement that the engagement was broken. They had asked the question once too often. "I got so tired of having people ask me when we are to be married that I decided to put an end to it," she said. "That's all—absolutely all. And I do hope—"this with an expression, of weariness—"that they will stop asking questions now." SUNDAY, APRIL 13th 35 CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

The Loondis came here, Monday, with an impressive record, having won forty-two and lost. But four games, this season, ‘Thefr line-up was: Beths and Moulton, forwards: Hampton, center, and Young and Anderson, guards. Hampton 1s a Cleveland ‘boy who is belng used because of the injuries to the Loen- dis’ regular tipoff man. The Knits opened with Budinsky and Kreei}, forwards; eller, center, and Gros” ory and Fisher, guards.’ The chief preliminary was between tho Toka- Jons, who had in thelr line-up Sherm Mitchell, star conter of Bast High, and their old rivals, the Cedar ¥ Oaks.

Smith, editor of the influential Cleveland Gazette, takes notice of our comment rela- tive to the trouble in that state and the treatment of Ohio voters of color, Gauged by what he says, he and his followers have nafled their flag for political recognition to the mast and positively refuse to haul it down or to accopt any compromise in the premises. His reply is in the nature of one of those attacks from that noted long range gun that was used during the last days of the World War to shell Paris. In view of our own attitude in this state and our uncompromising attitude in dealing with the fundamental wrong done colored voters of this state at the time, we cannot consistently af- ford to ‘take issue with him upon this all-important subject. The fight will go on, so far as we principle- loving Virginians (the editor of the Gazette is a West Virginian by birth) are concerned. “Nuff Sed.” —Richmond (Va.)

IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? 7 Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members ‘of which’ are.In favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways Will be discriminated against.” ‘The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal diserimina- tion, and are winning even so- clal ‘rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. ‘The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by ma- ture withont self-respect and have no ‘gata’. ‘The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- Utionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of thelr race to equal liberty, and forever resist dental of rights in our native Iand, however Tong face discrimination may continue.
