Hampton, Va.—A great emergent exists. Races, nations, peoples and individuals are coming up for a new classification opportunity which is in front of you" Dr. Charles Victor Roman of Nashville, Tenn., well-known eye ear, nose and throat specialist in the Methair Medical College, throw this challenge in his recent address on "Meeting Laws for the Health of the Hampton Institute commencement. Dr. Roman emphasize the value of good cheer, adaptability modesty, personality and character
Victues of Civilization.
"By this time," said Dr. Roman, "you have developed the four fundamental virtues of civilization—to behave yourselves, to work, to think, and to love God and your country. If you have not learned these virtues you have missed education. If you are possessed of these virtues, then add alertness, decision, courage, steadiness and faith. You must also have physical stamina. Whatever you are going to do, you must do before you leave this world. Be healthy, virtuous, strong."

Truetees Commend School.
The trustees in annual session, after having looked closely into the affairs of the University, passed resolutions couched in terms of highest praise for the work of the faculty. The experience was made to improved scholarship, accurate records and academic affairs in general under the efficient leadership of the dean, dean of College of Liberal Arts.
Enlarged Faculty Increased.
Three new teachers will be added to the College faculty for the session beginning in October, with a total of eight professors devoting full time to College work. Substitutional equipment will also be added to the laboratories of chemistry, biology, and physics, which will give Wiley the finest laboratories of any school for our people in this sect. The new faculty will be added to books for collateral reading to be added to the stock in the University.
The Summer School.
Wiley University is now open on forty-eight weeks in the year. The year is divided into four quarters of twelve weeks, the first and the summer session will constitute the fourth or summer quarter. This will enable students to enter at the beginning of the summer quarter will be of especial advantage to teachers. It will begin during the of the young ladies of the graduating class have been awarded scholarship. Miss Clara Robinson. Miss Caroline Burge.

Bishop Jones Dedicates Refectory.
Bishop Robert E. Jones, New Orleans, delivered the dedicatory address to the cedule reflectory and prepares us to be the head of the church of which he is the president. This distinguished prelate was cynosure of all eyes, before the first mass on Sunday.
"There are four commandments which sum up my philosophy of life—'Know myself,' 'Control myself,' 'Deny myself,' 'Respect myself.'"
Adaptability an Asset
"The chief advantage of an education is the opportunity which it affords one to profit by the experience of others. The mechanical contrivances of the automobile and the flying machine represent the accumulated traction of experience. The greatest tragedy of civilization is the inability of one group or age to profit by the mental and moral experiences of other groups and other ages. "To call this an age of specialization is a misnomer. It is an age of change. The historian Wells truly describes the great tragedy of proper remedy. Wells says: "The trained man the specialized man is the most unfortunate of men. The world has passed him behind and he has lost his power of overtaking it. Veratility, alert adaptability—these are our greatest needs. We must adapt ourselves to a changing age and such changes come upon us unaware.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE11, 1921
"TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL!"
The above words were uttered to the children of Israel when their ranks were about to be torn asunder by two aspirants for kingly honors, Jeroboam and Rehoboam, when the Jewish hosts had gathered at Shechem to select a king in the days of sacred history as recorded in the books of Kings.
The history of this expression is familiar to not a few. This was the cry of a mutinous people, long groaning under tyranny and oppression. Rehoboam had succeeded King Solomon as the regal head of the country. The people had respectfully asked for relief from burdensome taxation and unjust oppression and repression. Their petitions were treated with scorn, the new king foolishly declaring that he would make their burdens heavier.
Sheisms, factions and tribal hatred and antipathy had arisen among God's chosen people and when a conflict seemed imminent over the choice of a ruler and when King Rehoboam became hard-boiled and sought to rule with an iron hand and impose heavier burdens upon his people than his predecessor, the Israel contingent, supporters of Jeroboam, exclaimed the words of our text: "To your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unhindered."
There is a great lesson to be learned from this Biblical incident and because of the times in which we live and the hard-boiled, autocratic and kaiserian means employed by those promoted to offices of trust and power and their continual winking at and condoning of acts of lawlessness by members of their own tribe or race, this scriptural admonition is very appropriate and timely and deserves praise by our people during his crucial period of construction, readjustment and realignment.
Rebohoob, the cruel and heartless king, was beheaded by Jeroboam and his followers to lighten their burdens; to give them justice, fair play and a square deal; to rectify and righten the grievous wrongs perpetrated upon the king's father; to ensure safety and safeguard theirtection around each member of their tribe; to rule impartially and justly; to not arrogate unto himself powers never intended for a ruler to employ; to discard his haughty and arrogant attitude and his seeming contempt and disrespect for his fellowmen of the house of Israel. He was incarved in pride and stiffened and intoxicated by his high and powerful office (and Rebohoob was not and is not alone in this respect), this kaiser and autocrat paid no heed to those who had the best interests of his country and people at heart, but rather listened to and obeyed that element that had sinister designs and evil intents, eager and desirous of precipitating civil disobedience and bloody carriage.
When Jeroboam and his peace-loving and law-abiding adherents saw that Rebohoob and his mobocratic and blood-thirsty devotees were itching for a fight and when a clash seemed inevitable, it was then that Israel, in the language of our text, was ordered back to their tents.
Under ordinary circumstances, as long as Israel remained in their tents there was hardly a need for a safety and going further—judging from the fact that Rebohoob finally lost his throne and Jeroboam succeeded him—Jehovah hovered over and protected Israel as long as they retained their residence in their tents and sought to raise no disturbance nor precipitate a nasty situation.
Paraphrasing the words of our text, we will hear Jeroboam and his tents, 9 Eo Ethiopia; now see to thine own house, we proud Anglo-Saxon race."1
Permit us to translate or construe the expression of "to your tents" as an admonition or command to get back to God; to get in closer touch and fellowship and secure a more intimate acquaintance with Jehovah; to keep his precepts diligently and "walk in His ways," permitting Him to direct our path and control our every action; to commit our way of life, also in Him and will bring it to pass." Let us take a glance at sacred and profane history and see what happened to those empires, cities, races and people that forgot God; that grew fat, lazy, greedy, avaricious, haggy, arrogant and sought to perpetuate
themselves by human strength and carnal weapons.
"The Jews were God's chosen and select people, but when they "left their tents," figuratively speaking, oppression and suffering were their bitter lot and often were they afforded an opportunity to repent "in sackcloth and in ashes."
By returning to our tents we prove to the world that we desire to be peaceful and law-abiding and that despite the fact that a raw and rotten deal is generally our portion in this country, and especially this section of our boasted "democratic" republic, Ethiopia, like Israel in our text, will raise no rumpus; will instigate no civil disorders and will maintain the utmost respect for law and order.
"Back to your tents and cease to talk to blame much, but "rest in the Lord, and wait patiently (not giving to doctility nor covardice) for Him; fret not of himself of that prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass; for evil-doers shall be cut off; but that those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth."
Going further, this same passage of the Psalms declares: "For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be: thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek (the law-abiding, God-fearing, those who walk circumspectly before God and who treat all men as their brothers) shall inherit the abundance of peace."
"Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" for the Holy Writ says: "The wicked plotter against the just, and grasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have been beaten, pierced, rotted, and have died, and to slay such as be of upright conversation (those who contend with might and main against unrighteousness in church and state, condemning all organizations and practices not in keeping with God's inspired word and the written law of the land). Their (the wicked) sword shall enter into their own hearts (God have mercy upon our American brothers, and whatsofs) and their bows shall be broken."
The parenthetical expressions are ours, but the others are quoted verbatim from the Bible, showing that if we will only return to our tents; serve God in spirit and in truth; all out back biting, tattling, pimping, lying, malice, hatred, gossip, and lay aside all weights that impede our journey in the race of life, God will not only fight our battles, but He will also use us for the salvation of mankind and the redemption of ours.
"Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and beo unto him that attempts to force his way into same by means of force and external aggression.
In our tents there is peace and joy; brotherly love and due respect for constituted authority.
But there can be no returning to our tents unless our forces are organized and we have due regard and respect for leadership selected by our own race and not one superimposed upon us by others.
We strategically to our tents, there will be no cause nor necessity for temperate and hot-headed speech nor the carrying around of a chip on our shoulders.
"Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and while others chase off after strange and defiled gods, let us and our house serve the Lord God of Ethiopia; provoke no disturbances and being within our tents, if attacked the responsibility for same and the direful consequences will rest upon our attackers and not upon us.
Return to our tents as Israel did in the lesson aided hereinbefore, the danger of an inter-claustral clash, so devoidly desired, apparently, by members of the other race (since this seems to be their chief topic of conversation) will be obviated, and we shall be strengthened to "carry on" for civic and political righteousness.
"Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and we be unto him who pitches his tent opposite yours to engage you in heavy combat; as for dwellers of the tent you shall be advanced and the final triumph.
Our grant that it may be said of us, like of Israel: "So Ethiopia departed unto their tents."

Covington, Ga.—The trial of Clyde Manning, Negro farm boss, employed on the farm of John S. Williams, white farmer, in superior court here, resulted in the jury returning a verdict of murder with recommendations for mercy, the same verdict that was returned several weeks ago by the jury trying the charges against Williams.
Manning testified that he aided Williams in killing more than fourteen farm hands—all Negroes—to halt an investigation on peonage charges, which was instituted by the government.
Attorney E. Marvin Underwood, prominent white attorney of Atlanta, employed by a group of white Georgians to defend Manning, made a heroic effort in behalf of his client. Following the verdict of the jury, which was returned in thirty-five minutes, Mr. Underwood immediately entered a motion for a new trial. Judge John B. Hutcheson fixed the hearing for July 30 at Decatur. Williams also is seeking a new trial.
Manning was tried on the specific charge of the murder of Lindsey Peterson, of whose murder Williams was convicted, and today he clearly recited the story he told at the Williams trial, claiming that he and another Negro killed eleven farm hands on Williams' orders. Later Manning claims to have slain the other Negro. Peterson and two other Negroes were alleged to have been brought into this county at night from the Jaasper County farm and drowned.
Under Georgia law Manning could not have been held accountable had he been able to convince the jury he killed the men through fear for his own life and the defense based its case on this, while the state sought to show the Negro was a "willing accomplice."
Manning told the jury he killed the other Negroes "because Mr. Johnny told me to," and Mr. Underwood pleaded that Manning was "merely a tool in the hands of a driving force" and urged his acquittal.
Special General Brand and former Congressman Howard pleaded for conviction, the solicitor contending that Manning as "boss" on the farm carried a pistol and that he acted not "through fear, but to gain favor of Williams."

"WHERE IS THE OLD LAW, ANYHOW?"
"WHERE IS THE OLD LAW, ANYHOW?"
The above interrogation, so often uttered in contempt of the constituted authority, is more serious than upon the surface seems evident.
The regrettable and disgraceful race riot at Tulsa last week is the culmination of a reign of lawlessness in this country without parallel or precedent in the annals of civilized man.
Respect for law and order, like the hoop skirts worn by the women years ago, is a thing of the past, and to make bad matters worse, men, who boast of their "Americanism," "superiority" and "Christianity," are now insidiously trying to overthrow their own government by the operation of orders and organizations diametrically opposed and antagonistic to the supremacy of the law.
It does not take a seer to see where such a program will ultimately lead to and what awful and irreparable damage will be sustained by this increasing disrespect for law and order.
The Informer, far removed from the scene of the domestic disturbance in Oklahoma, is not attempting to fix the guilt upon this person or that person; but it does know that the widespread reign of lawlessness in this country is wholly and solely responsible for the inter-racial conflict, and unless something is done immediately to create respect for law and order and put an end to ruthless mob violence, the days of this republic are numbered.
Press reports stated that whit s formed to lynch a colored youth incarcerated for an alleged "attack" upon a white girl in Tulsa, and that the colored citizens gathered to prevent a lynching bee, which is the scourge and curse of America.
If these reports are correct, both races were at fault and since one contingent was bent upon taking the law into its own hands and meting out punishment according to its own ideas and as the other group was determined to prevent such a disgraceful stunt by resorting to lawlessness also—giving due recognition to racial prejudice, antipathy and hatred—a clash was inevitable, thus with the police and constabulary officers conspicuous by their absence.
And why were these police officers absent in such a situation? It is the same old story of them being conveniently absent in order that the mob could do its dirty and diabolical work and thus the identity of the mobocratic participants could not be established. It is the same old game resorted to so much in the South when colored people are the objects and victims of the wrath of hellish and heathenish mobs.
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SAYURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921
The colored man is an apt pupil and he has been a willing student of the white man for several hundred years in this country.
The colored Americans have seen how easy it is for white men to float defiance in the face of the law and do as they please under any and all circumstances; they have also watched the trend of events and noted the inefficiency of the law when it comes to protecting the lives and safeguarding the interests of colored citizens; they have about lost faith in the American white man's sense of justice and fair play and after carefully weighing the matter and in line with the race's usual policy of imitating the white man in so many things of a superficial and destructive nature, it was not to be unexpected that such depredations could longer continue without some reprisals or striking back.
Exhaustive investigations, long-winded invectives and fiery editorials; excoriation and denunciation of "agitators," "radicals" and "trouble-makers"; purchasing of machine guns and high-powered rifles and other weapons for taking of human life cannot aid the situation one hit, but rather intensify and aggravate it.
As long as this country maintains a double standard of citizenship and as long as lawlessness among whites is condoned, encouraged, aided and abetted, this country is going to witness such disturbances as the one just enacted in Tulsa.
THE DISGRE
(From the Proof, matchless Tulsa comes this day, and with head bowed, we sincerely hope, with deep relief the great offense some of her city Wednesday morning.
There is not a man worthy or贪婪 against that which he positional of the fact, permitted the vandal, permitted themselves to it if he ever received in his history the token that he had plunged the plume infamy. Language is incapable of against the community a powerless the indignity one trolling their passions and their it is true that the pride of race in the veins of every nation were at all possible, to condone and night, when the streets raged tormenting of hate-impetuited arming themselves and visiting said for those who respond to
The colored man is law-abiding to the core and his endurance of injustice and inequalities is the wonder of the ages; but a new generation is rising that is receiving the same training and thinking just like all other American citizens and unless a reign of law and order is instituted and unless men are taught and forced to respect the law of the land, inter-racial clashes, like lynch law, will become chronic.
The spirit of the South is to suppress and oppress rather than uplift and elevate the colored race and then when a few of our group imitate their white brothers by raising the devil, the entire race is lambasted and threatened.
The citizenship of the South is entirely too ignorant and vicious, no race excluded, to live in peace and harmony and until symmetrical education and genuine Christianity have imbedded themselves in the hearts and actuate the lives of all races in Dixie, there is going to be hell to pay with internal disturbances.
Let's get back to law and order and a constitutional government. Let us enforce the law against all violators and infractors and thereby create a strong sentiment against lawlessness which is now on a rampage in this country.
Let's have law enforcement or let's abish all laws and revert to the age of the "survival of the fittest" and brute force. We are going to have one or the other; it is a physical and political impossibility to maintain both at the same time, and it is up to the authorities and those in power to either save or hasten the disintegration of this republic.
Here is fine work for the inter-racial commission and here's hoping that said commission in Houston will get busy at once and afford both races a chance to iron out their differences in a sane and sensible manner.
SCHOOL PROBE "COMEDY SKIT."
"A tempest in a tea-pot" might aptly describe the investigation and probe of several white teachers and officials connected with the Houston public schools, as a result of the agitation and pseudo-charges of a certain local spotlight seeking attorney.
This white attorney—who, during the early days of the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was a professed "friend" to and of the colored race, being one of the orators at a big meeting held at Antioch Baptist Church, and who really desired to be the branch's lawyer and who was a candidate for mayor in 1919, soliciting and receiving the vote of several colored citizens—is insidiously endeavoring to construct a political fence and in order to ingrate himself into the hearts of prejudicial and rabid "Negro haters," he has injected the "race question" into his charges.
There is an old expression that "God does not love ugly" and from the results thus far attained by his charges against Dr. Slataper, Superintendent P. W. Horn and some female teachers, it seems that the old opharmism is running true to form.
He asked for Dr. Slataper's dismissal because the physician vaccinated white and colored children in the same room and because he had them to sit in the same room while waiting to be served.
Undoubtedly this eminent' (?) barrister has forgotten that they ride in the same street cars and that in countless cases the children of his race play with and are nursed and car d for by colored children.
Since he is so bitterly opposed to the two races meeting together, why did he make it his business to always attend some colored gathering and make a speech about "justice" and "fair play" for the colored American in the South?
He had no particular charges against Superintendent Horn, only that the head of the school system did not conduct the department to suit his fancy and because he wields a "big stick" over his teachers.
As for one poor, unfortunate female pedagogue, it appears that she came South a few years ago and hearing of a colored oculist handling a fine line of eye glasses and selling the same article cheaper than white oculists and optometrists, she committed the unpardonable sin of purchasing a pair of glasses from said race oculist, and despite the fact that the purchase was made about five years ago and in view of the fact that she recommended this colored oculist to her teacher comrades, her summary dismissal is demanded.
We wonder how our race feels under such conditions, when it is borne in mind that we purchase commodities from white business and professional men and spend millions of dollars annually with white institutions?
Why, we even have some colored school principals—one in particular—who line up their colored pupils and march them to stores near the school operated and owned by men of the white race, urging them to patronize these foreigners in lieu of members of their own race. (Don't press us too hard or we'll call names.) Wonder how this type of "race educators" feel now? As far as the charges go and the results obtained, are of
Proud, matchless Tulsa comes before the bar of Christian civilization this day, and, with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her check, and we sincerely hope, with deep regret in her heart, ask that she be pardoned the great offense some of her citizens committed during Tuesday night and Wednesday. There is not a man worthy of the name whose heart is not after with indignation against that which has been done. Members of a superior race, bovolish of the fact, permitted themselves to degenerate into murderers and vandals; permitted themselves to deal their home community the foulest blow it has ever received in its history.
Tulsa boasted that she was not Ardmore. And now a negligible number of men have plunged the reputation of the fair city into the depths of infamy. Language is incapable of palpitation, and the indignity of its peaceful, lawabiding citizens or of expressing the indignity one inevitably feels toward men incapable of controlling their passions and their prejudices.
It is true that the pride of race as well as their prejudices is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground one would like, if it were at all possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night, when the streets of the city were suddenly transformed into a place of violence and murder. We are fighting themselves and visiting the county jail permits something to be said for those who responded to the riot impulse and set out to satiate the blood hust or racial pride.
But nothing that the mind is capable of conceiving permits a word of defense or excuse for the murderous vandalism which set in at daylight the next morning. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property—the homes of women and children, black in color, to be sure, but guilty of no more than one percent of the murdered hands of the men systematically applied the torch while others shot on sight of men of color.
The colored section of the city was wiped out, and a long line of hopeless, pitiful refugees fled northward from the burning town. The German invasion of Belgium with its awful consequences was no more unjustified or characterized with any greater cruelty. In the conflagration a splendid church but recently erected and one of the handsome educational institutions was the property the vandals applied forth to make sure of their terrible purpose.
The entire "race war" was as unjustified as it was unnecessary. Because of it Tulisa is blazoned as a community where tolerance does not exist, where the constitution of the United States can be enforced or suspended at will, where prejudice and race bigrity rule, and where law and order haltingly knees the knee to outlawry. Ten thousand citizens have rendered homeless and made enslaves on the face of the earth!
Will Tulisa accept such a reputation willingly? Will this city tolerate such injustice—accept weekly the sudden ending of its dream of primacy and glory? If not, then the substantial, constructive citizenship must immediately get into action. There is but one way in which Tulisa can achieve this: by the eyes of the outside world. That is by rebuilding that which has been destroyed.
Vandalism has taken the houses and the savings of thousands of people, Tulisa must restore that which has been taken. The sins of a comparative few are thus visited upon the whole community. But it is a cross that must be shouldered willingly and heroically. This restitution, not because of affectionate regard for the colored man, but because of an honorable and intense regard for the white race whose bosom of superiority must now be justified by concrete acts.
Not else can the wound of passion be beheaded or the scars of intolerant hatred be soothed. In this moment men of Tulisa stand at crossroads in the city where certainly leads to retrogression and decay. There must not, there cannot, be any hesitation.
little concern to The Informer; for it is a comedy skit pure and simple.
The thing that should cause us to reflect is the trend of events and our seeming indifference and lethargy about the things that most vitally concern and affect our racial group.
It is all right for us to purchase goods from whites, but when the doctrine of business reciprocity is practiced those of the white race, who give the colored race a little patronage, are targets of abuse and condemnation and they are threatened or intimidated for trying to live and help others to live.
These incidents and the fact that there are stores in this city that do not care for nor cater to colored rade, should spur our race here to embark in mercantile enterprises of our own, and thus obviate the necessity of men intensifying the inter-racial situation and appealing to and fanning the flames of racial hatred and antipathy by such prejudicial and incendiary charges and counter-charges.
Forty thousand colored people will support and vouchsafe the success and permanence of any enterprise launched and operated by our people here; for God knows we are tired of being humiliated and embarrassed, to say nothing of our good women being manhandled and roughly treated, in so many of the local stores operated by men of other races for their racial contingent.
Constructive action will beat all the complaining agitation in the world, for "he who would be free himself must strike the first blow."
This is no brief for those against whom this white lawyer has brought his charges, but it is a plea or suggestion that the colored race should embark in big business enterprises of its own and thereby accelerate our progress and lessen the occasion for racial contact and the resultant injecting of this "race question" into our everyday life without any provocation.
In the vernacular of the street, "Let us either put up or shut up!"

TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMER
Editor C. F. Richardson of the Houston Informer, Houston, Texas, stands like a stone wall for 'LAW AND ORDER'. He is as sane as the saintest and as sound as a gold dollar in his arguments for the ideal in government. He has 100 pellets cannibalism can should find anything to condemn in Editor Richardson because of his manly stand in the defense of right. He is entitled to the unqualified endorsement of law-adding citizens the world over. We need no invisible government. All we need is the law. No gimmick is invisible government. If the present laws on the statute books do not meet the necessary requirements, make more stringent laws and enforce them regardless to race or color. A violation of the law is simply a violation, no matter who the perpetrator or perpetrators, nor to whom the punishments should be imposed, the morality must be respected and upheld. —The People's Mouthpiece, Austin, Texas.

| “Appreciation”
| The word “appreciation” but faintly refleets the true sentiment that this
store desires to express {0 its thousands of friends for the magnificent
| Tesponse aecorded them on the first day of their 34th Anniversary Sale.
Our aisles were crowded {0 capacity with shoppers—folks. who are
familiar with the true Import of Levy's Anniversary Sales, Many of those *
who were present have bought here year after year, knowing that the
ywrinted word of Levy's is more than a mere promise—who have learned
from experience that a statement made by Levy's may be likened to a gov-
rnment bond in point of dependability, and that the satisfaction of a eus-
tomer is of far greater Importance to Levy's than the mere selling of mer-
) chandise
So, while we are at a loss for the proper expression of appreciation to
the thousands who have favored us with their presence, we know that
the true depth of our feeling will be understood when we resort to an old
fashioned, but sinere, expressi@u and say
Levy's Sith Anniversary Sale will offer the same extraordinary values

High School Closed
Amid Blaze of Glory;
Fine Program Executed
The graduating exercises of the colored high school staged at the City Auditorium, Wednesday night, were "the largest audience in the history of the program," the history of which the program was of a high order and reflected much credit upon both the teachers and the participants.
The speakers were in fine fettle and showed that they had given their subsequent much study, thought and preparation.
