For particulars see page 8 Mrs. Thornton; It Is Claimed, Has Filed a Counter-action Against Her First Husband and Demands $500 for Counsel Fees; Interest Is Growing in the Peculiar and Interesting Muddle. When the case of John Urquhart against the now generally recognized Mrs. Alma Montrose Thornton comes up within the next week or so, some very interesting facts will be bared to the public. Mrs. Thornton, wife of the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church at 52 West 132nd Street, has filed counter charges against her former husband, John Urquhart, which claims that her marriage to Urquhart was forced at the point of a gun, and charges that he has been guilty of adultery. She has demanded the small sum of only $500.00 for counsel fee, seemingly believing that her former sweetheart and husband is getting a big weekly salary or has a fat bank account. At any rate, there is going to be a lively little court session and somebody's reputation is going to suffer. There seems to be some confusion as to where the Rev. Thornton and his present wife were married. Mrs. Thornton had stated to a representative of the TATTLER that the ceremony was performed in Philadelphia. She said that the place was at the home of a Mrs. C. F. Boggs, 30 South Ruby Street, Philadelphia. But another report is out that credits the marriage some where else. It seems strange that Mrs. Thornton should not know the place HARLEM, A NEGRO CITY OF SONG AND LAUGHTER So Writes Bercovici for Harper's Magazine in a Word Picture of Upper New York. Harper's Magazine for October, publishers "The Black Blocks of Manhattan," by Konrad Bercovici, a study of the largest colored center of the world located in the upper portion of New York City. Mr. Bercovici's article is to form a chapter of a forthcoming book, "Around the World in New York," to be published by The Century Co., dealing with the various races and nationalities inhabiting the city. Mr. Bercovici, on his tours of Black Harlem, on which his guide was Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association fos the Advancement of Colored People, found luaghtes to be one of the characteristics of the district. "Nowhere in the city," says Mr. Beriovici, "except in the Harlem or in the Brooklyn Negro sections does one hear so much frank laughter. Nobody can laugh as engagingly as a Negro. It is one of the first things that strikes a visitor. New York is a laughless city. But there is laughter in Harlem, in the Brooklyn Negro quarter in Bensonhurst, on 59th Street, and even in the narrow Carmine Street and Minet- M G TH THE TATTLERS 1922 $100.00 IN NEW MANHATTAN 25---MU General Admits THE TATTLERS --- ONAL DEVELOPMENTS DUE URQUHART CASE IS CALLED "ENTERTAINING—FULL OF MIRTH" where her marriage to the popular divine leader of the great little religious institution in West 132nd Street took place, yet stranger laps of memory have occurred before. Considerable excitement was thrown into the church circles last week when the TATTLER scored this sensational news scoop that has all Harlem in a fever of curious excitement. Small groups gathered around the church during the week and discussed the case pro and con for hours at a time. Sensational developments in the controversy threaten to dig up the bitter past and many shocking surprises are due. Investigators are on the job in Boston, Atlantic City and Philadelphia. It is even hinted that Federal agents may be called into the case to track certain irregularities that may have taken place. The result of these investigations of rumors will be given from time to time as developments in the case warrants. The TATTLER does not wish to harm or injure in any way an innocent person or persons, and will be very careful to publish nothing but facts, hard cold truths that can be proven. We have been the recipients of many letters, but will first investigate and prove to our own satisfaction the truth of all charges. Watch for later developments. ta Lane, where the congestion is such that one can almost cut the air with a knife. There one finds laughter and song and dance." Telling of the gradual growth of the Harlem district to its present population, Mr. Bercovici asserts that Negro tenants in Harlem are exploited and overcharged: "Apartments for which white people had paid forty dollars a month a few years ago are now rented for a hundred dollars or more. Families have doubled up, and tripled up, to pay the exorbitant rents from the wages obtained in such occupations as are open t othe Negroes. One must not forget that only very few occupations are within their reach." Mr. Bercovici tells of the Abyssinian Jews living in Harlem, of the gay cabaret night-life of the district, of Negro churches and church services as well as of the quack doctors and practitioners of all sorts who infest the district, as well as the colored artists and race leaders of the city. VICTORY DANCE TICKETS The Ascension Commandery has placed a number of tickets on sale here in the TATTLER office, for the benefit of the dance loving public who may wish to attend the monster Victory Dance that is to be given at Manhattan Casino, Wednesday evening, October 29th. THE TATTLER NORTH HARLEM DENTAL CLINIC OPENS DOORS The formal opening of the North Harlem Dental Clinic, conducted by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association, will be held during the week of September 22 to 27 inclusive, at its office, 202 West 136th Street, when it is planned to have open house to members of the medical profession, welfare and health organizations, fraternities, business and social clubs. During that week, every afternoon from 1 to 3 p. m. will be devoted to visitors who wish to inspect Harlem's new dental clinic or make inquiries concerning it. The Committee has sent announcements to many interested persons but everybody is cordially invited to attend so that the residents of Harlem may become well acquainted with this new and important work undertaken by the Tuberculosis Committee for boys and girls who are in need of dental care but who cannot afford to pay for the services of a private dentist. The North Harlem Dental Clinic began its activities on August 18 ALL-RACE CAMPAIGN CONFERENCE CALLED By way of the National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League comes word that the seventeenth annual meeting of that body, to be held at Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., will have for it's purpose the devising of ways and means to secure best advantages of the vote in the coming and future elections of the nation. It is believed that in this way lies the only chance for Negroes to reach a common understanding with their white brothers with regards to political advantages as enjoyed by all others in this country. Every colored organization is eligible to representation at this meeting as the league feels the time too crucial to confine it's workings to any particular group. Further data on this movement can be secured by addressing Wm. Monroe Trotter, Corr. Secretary, 103 Court St.. COLORED DEMOCRATS GREET JOHN W. DAVIS New York, N. Y.—In the large crowd that greeted John W. Davis last Sunday evening at the Grand Central Station upon his return from the West were nearly two hundred and fifty colored men and women. The female section was headed by Mrs. Bessye Bearden. Chief Edward E. Lee, founder of the United Colored Democracy and former leader, led the male contingent. A large number of the colored Davis enthusiasts went to the Grand Central Station in busses carrying flags. This was the first time in the history of American politics that a large group of Negroes participated in a genuine demonstration for a Democratic Presidential candidate. "LIVE NEWS WELL FEATURED" "CHOCOLATE DANDIES" WANT WINNERS OF TATTLER BEAUTY CONTEST Broadway Production Makes Admirable Offer; Miss Hillman, Originator of Radio and Atmosphere Gowns, Will Have An Entry in Contest. A trip to Washington, D. C., to the Howard-Lincoln Football Classic is another possibility to the pageant winners, where they will be entered as contestants in the National Beauty Show to be staged by the colored newspapers of the nation during that week. The announcement that Miss Della Sutton and her Melody Girls will be in charge of the dance music, has been the cause for much merriment among the lovers of terpsichorean endeavor, for this fast becoming famous orchestra of young women, have endeared themselves to the dance-loving public through their sweet harmonious rendition of the latest dance numbers. They will be more pleasing than ever at THE TATTLER Beauty Pageant, as they are preparing a special program for the gratification of their listeners on that evening. Boxes and loges are going at a rapid rate and our advice to you is to engage your's at the earliest possible convenience, at the TATTLER office, 201 West 138th St. Phone Bradhurst 2321. COLORED WOMEN WILL CAST VOTE FOR DAVIS So Says Alice Dunbar-Nelson In Charge of Eastern Bureau of National Committee NEW YORK,—"Colored women are showing political independence in a manner never before known by the men or women of the race," says Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who is in charge of the work of colored women of the Eastern Bureau of the Democratic National Committee. "Party tradition and political superstition are giving place to a logical consideration of what is best for the two races. The support of that party which will further the interests of the Negro as a whole, rather than the selfish few, is the paramount consideration. "The Democratic Party is showing itself a true political friend of the Negro to-day, not only by its unqualified repudiation of the infamous Ku Klux Klan, but because it is led by one of the staunchest believers in the equality of all men under the law—John W. Davis. Mr. Davis' record in his fight against the Grandfather Clause, the peonage cases, and his consistent stand at all times for human rights, endears him to all thinking Colored Americans. His attitude on Child Labor and the questions affecting women in industries makes him the ideal leader for women of all races. "The Colored women who have the interests of the whole race at heart are going to cast their vote unquestionably for John W. Davis, the apostle of the square deal and the whole hearted friend of all Negroes." The announcement of THE TATTLER Beauty Pageant, scheduled for October 10th, at Manhattan Casino, had no sooner been put before the public than it at once became the talk of the town. It is a testimonial to the confidence and good will that the public holds for the most progressive newspaper in the East. Whoever the winners of this great beauty pageant shall be, it is safe to say that they will be the recipients of many flattering offers, aside from the gold cash prizes which will be given away by THE TATTLER. The management of "Chocolate Dandies," the high class musical comedy, playing at the Colonial Theatre at Broadway and 62nd Street, has made an offer to engage the winners of THE TATTLER beauty contest at a flattering salary, provided they are possessed of good singing voices or other talent that might be utilized in the theatrical world. Sissle and Blake, the two music-writing stars of this production, have also offered a special prize. Such is the way of fame. To those who are familiar with former TATTLER fashion shows, it will be a pleasing announcement that Miss Jennie Hillman, theatrical costumer and TATTLER modiste, will enter "THE TATTLER GIRL" in the coming pageant. Miss Hillman is the originator of the famous Radio and Atmosphere gowns exhibited in THE TATTLER fashion shows of the past. And it is safe to say that "THE TATTLER GIRL," gowned by a modiste of Miss Hillman's ability, will be a vision of loveliness worth going miles to see. JOHN W. DAVIS SENDS LETTER OF GRATITUDE Writes T. Thomas Fortune of Appreciation for Afro-American Support in the Coming September 15, 1924. My dear Mr. Fortune:— My dear Mr. Fortune:— Your letter, addressed to Hon. F. D. Roosevelt, has just come to my attention. I want to assure you of my very deep appreciation of your support as manifested in your letter. It is a source of pride and gratification to know that in this campaign I have the confidence of so many of my Afro-American friends. I have always been deeply concerned with their cause, and it has been a great pleasure to me to do what I could for the advancement of their interests. Sincerely yours, (Signed) JOHN W. DAVIS. T.

Vol. 3 NEW YORK, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1924 No. 39 GOVERNOR SMITH IMPLORED TO RUN AGAIN T HAS been announced that Governor Alfred E. Smith, the idol of the Democrats of New York, and a large part of the voters who are not Democrats, has consented to stand for the Governorship again. He has consented I after repeated declarations that he did not want to do so, as this private interests demanded that he look after them. He has served the State and party long and faithfully, and we all know that statesmen like Governor Smith do not get rich in politics; politicians do. The distance between a statesman and a politician is as great as that between Samuel J. Tilden and Boss William M. Tweed. The one is an honest public servant and the other is a dishonest grafter. The patriot always answers the call of his country in war times. He does it as a matter of course. The statesman does the same thing. There are few statesmen and many politicians always in the same time and place. It is as true of the whites as it is of all the other colors which distinguish the citizens of the Republic. It has always been so. We often marvel, however, at the very small number of statesmen and the great horde of politicians the Afro-American citizenship contains from Reconstruction days to the politically destructive days in which we live. It is necessary to Democratic success that New York State shall be counted in the Democratic column; it is possible to place it there, if Governor Smith heads the State ticket. That is the argument the leaders have used to convince Governor Smith that he should sacrifice his personal wishes and interests and again head the Democratic ticket. If he were not just as big a man as he is he would not run. He should have received the Democratic nomination for President, and he may feel that way about it, but the man who does head the ticket stands for the sort of Americanism that Governor Smith stands for, and we can afford to support John W. Davis and help in his election in that account. The people of New York are gratified that Governor Smith has consented to run again for Governor and by doing so help elect John W. Davis President. after repeated declarations that he did not want to do so, as his private interests demanded that he look after them.

EDITOR-POLITICIANS ON THE RUN. DITOR-POLITICIANS of the type of Ben Davis of the Atlanta Independent and Bob Vann of the Pittsburgh Courier have not yet learned that personal vilification is not argument. These unethical and ancient methods make no favorable impression on the thinking men and women of today. They will, therefore, have to resort to different tactics to show the colored voters of the country why E It is evident from the columns of the dyed-in-the-wool Republican weeklies that the desertation of the Republican Party by leading Negroes has put the Davis's and Vann's on the defensive. Their papers do not carry articles showing why Coolidge should be supported but use up quantities of ink and space making pathetic endeavors to point out and criticize the stand taken by the Fortunes, Lewises, Bruces, Henrys and Nelsons. There is no question that these editors are greatly perturbed over the unprecedented exodus of Negroes from the Republican Party. A humorous phase of the campaign is the chameleon attitude of many of the editor-politicians. It is only a few weeks ago that they were publicly criticising the Republican Party and the administration at Washington, both verbally and in their editorial columns. Suddenly they undergo a decided change of heart and their profuse praise of the administration is in striking contrast to their previous words of condemnation and criticism. The question is going the rounds, "What has suddenly brought this change of heart about?" Editor Vann makes some slight would-be precautious reference in his paper to Negroes being on the payroll of the Democratic National Committee. It would not be amiss to state in passing that Mr. Vann not only is functioning on the Republican National Committee in New York but was drawing a fat weekly stipend four years ago "in the interest of the Negro race." THE TATTLER "JUST WHAT YOU LIKE" THAT WOMAN ABOUT TO BE EXECUTED IN PENNSYLVANIA THE Afro-Americans of Pennsylvania are all stirred up over the signing of the death warrant of Louise Thomas by Governor Gifford Pinchot and the probable execution of the woman for murder. The New York Evening Bulletin, which is a warm member and brand new, has the following to say about it: "Press agents, of course, anticipated that the country, sickened by the Loeb-Leopold affair, would congratulate Pinchot for his uncompromising action. The country hasn't. "Although the press agents glibly declared, "Louise Thomas, the first woman to be executed in Pennsylvania in 50 years," no one screeched that it was victory for justice. Everyone felt suspicious. Well they might have. "The truth is that Louise Thomas is a Negress. That is why she is the first woman to be executed in 50 years. If she were white she would not be in danger of electrocution. "When was the last white woman electrocuted? "How many white women have been convicted of murder since? "It is an outrage against justice to kill this woman, because it is the color of her skin that is sending her to the chair. Were her skin white she could have killed 20 and escaped death. "That is the damnable thing about capital punishment. The question now is not if capital punishment is justified; the question is if we shall have capital punishment only for the poor white boy and all Negroes. "Execution is not possible when a rich white man is convicted, or when any white woman is convicted. It is only possible when the poverty-ridden whites, like the two unfortunate boys sentenced in Maryland, or the Negro woman sentenced in Pennsylvania, are caught in the net. "And it has been that way since time began. It was that way in ancient Rome, but Rome was daring enough finally to decree that her citizens must escape ignominious death, while all other beings were subject to it. Here we are worse. The man with money is exempt here. A full pocketbook blocks the road to the death chamber or scaffold more certainly than does the ablest lawyer." The Bulletin does some very rapid thinking in the foregoing. It should go far towards making others think very rapidly. Will it? Hanging women and young people still in their teens is not considered good by a large part of the American people, and another larger part do not think that capital punishment should be inflicted at all, as statistics prove that it does not in the least deter others from doing murder. The thought is general that some other remedy for murder than hanging or electrocution should be adopted. Murderers have no sympathy. With rare exceptions they go about their villainous business with diabolical deliberation. On the other hand, enlightened mankind have a great deal of sentiment about murder and murderers, and appeal to the humanities which lift the race out of the brute and beast class. The latter will win in the long run. Louise Thomas should not be executed. She is a woman, and women and minors should not be executed. They should be imprisoned for life, or modifications of it, as extenuating circumstances in individual cases suggest. Note and Comment By T. THOMAS FORTUNB HE thing has happened. The National headquarters of the Republican, Democratic and La Follette parties all have a well organized force of Afro-American workers properly housed and with chiefs of each department. They all are bidding for the support of Afro-American voters. Afro-American voters are dividing their strength among all of the parties, the Socialists whose candidate for Secretary of State in New York is a Negro, included. All this is as it should be. An American citizen should not be known by his race, color or creed, or nativity. He should be known by his American citizenship, by his loyalty to the Nation and devotion to the flag. When he is known as something else he is very far from being a 100-per cent American and the police should keep a sharp eye upon him. Some people have the splendid facility of magnifying themselves at the expense of others, and they sometimes get away with the swindle. Cleveland Allen, who is a useful and not usually a censorious New York Journalist of our own and himself, has written a chapter on "The Tragedy of William H. Lewis," which the Amsterdam News of last week featured. The trouble is that Mr. Allen was born a Republican slave in South Carolina and insists upon living a Republican slave in Harlem, and insists that all other Afro-Americans should be Republican slaves in Harlem and the rest of the country. That is the tragedy of Cleveland Allen and the legion of black and colored political slaves, whatever party they serve, who have the notion that the party makes the man and not the man the party, and who would crucify those who refuse to look through a dark glass because they do it and cannot look the blaze of the sun of broad thinking in the eye eye without blinking. York, N. Y No. 39 None are so blind as those who will not see. Isn't it the truth! And who is blinder in both eyes than the average Afro-American partisan. I knew Cleveland Allen when he was a young man; now he is an old man, and he has not learned anything during those long forty years of trying to make ends meet that were too short. And, too, here comes Floyd J. Calvin of Arkansas, the New York representative of the Pittsburgh Courier a bright young journalist who has not cast his first vote yet; Mr. Calvin thinks in the Courier that "it is interesting and amusing to see" me "go over to the Democratic party," and recites something of what happened to Hon. Emanuel Fortune and his son Timothy, in Jackson county, Florida, fifty-six years ago, when the ku kluk klan was a terror in Reconstruction days. I have observed that most serious things are considered as "interesting and amusing" to little children and some grown-up idiots. Mr. Calvin should be to sensitively intelligent to force himself into either classification. I reside and vote in New Jersey, and am free to vote as I please and have my vote counted. I can also be voted for, if I want to be. I could not do this if I were a citizen of Florida, and on that account I would not be a Democrat in Florida or in any State South of Philadelphia. The Federal Supreme Court has declared that all of the legislation to safeguard the Negro in his social, civil and economic relations, or the reverse, is within the jurisdiction of the States and not of the Federal Government. What then? I look to the State of New Jersey and not to the Federal Government for most privileges and immunities of citizenship that are mine, and I do not look in vain. Which party is in power does not matter in New Jersey, but it does in Florida and Arkansas, both Sunday, September 28, 1934 OUNCES OF PREVENTION By Dr. B. S. Herben of the New York Tuberculosis Association "SISTERS OF THE SAME HATCH" Two little chickens cracked the shell on the same day and were brought up in separate establishments. That is, they were put into cages built for themselves and were fed differently, in order that their growth and health could be studied in connection with diet. One chicken was fed milk with other food, and the sister was fed only "the other food" without milk. Pigs and dogs and other animals were studied in the same way and it was discovered that the ones which received milk in addition to the other food materials grew more rapidly and were in better physical condition than those which did not receive milk. It is equally true of growing children—that those who are deprived of milk with the meals in which the most nourishing of foods may be found, do not make the physical progress which is made by children who drink at least a pint of milk a day and do not begin to be so healthy as those boys and girls who get a quart of milk a day beside the regular meals. As I have said before, milk is well-nigh a perfect food for it contains the fat, the minerals, the acid, the protein or tissue building food, and the sugar and starches, as well as vitamins. All this material is in an easily digested form. The minerals are particularly valuable for children because they are of sufficient variety to contribute to the building of teeth, and the growing bones, and supplying the blood with the necessary iron. It is easy to give the child the "balanced diet" which scientists are telling us we must, if milk is given. All the necessary materials are there, and all the mother has to do is to take the seal from the bottle and pour the milk into a glass and let the child drink it. If the milk be pasteurized, and it should be, there should be added to the diet of milk the fruit juices for the sake of the vitamin which has been destroyed by pasteurization. Adults should drink more milk for the reason that it is a balanced food, and particularly because they need the tissue building proteins and minerals for the sake of repairing tissues and maintaining sound bones and teeth. All people whether young or old need good food, and milk is the best single food known. ARRIVALS AT THE HOTEL OLGA Miss Catherine Ballinger, Louisville, Ky., Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Sunday, September 28, 1924 THE CONGRESS The last week saw the making of a number of important nominations in widely scattered states. Some of the most significant include: In South Carolina, ex-Governor Cole Livingstone Blease was nominated for Senator over Representative J. F. Byrnes, after the present incumbent Senator N. B. Dial had been eliminated in a previous primary. Some of the feeling which Governor Blease can rouse may be gathered from a coruscating editorial in the Loudoun (Va.) Mirror: TAXATION Refunds The Treasury Department reported that, without the filing of claims, 1,723,000 refunds, totaling $12,989,000, have been made to those who paid their full income tax on March 15 and subsequently became entitled to a 25 per cent reduction. As Government efficiency goes, this is a good record. The only point of the refunding procedure which seems to be involved in red tape is in securing credit and refunds for a 25 per cent deduction on taxes "paid at source." To secure this deduction, one must massage the tax machinery. TARIFF Tariff and the Sweets There are six members of the U. S. Tariff Commission, who serve for 12 years each, one retiring at the end of every two years. It happens that, on Sept. 30, the term of David J. Lewis, of Maryland, expires. President Coolidge announced last week that he would give Mr. Lewis an interim appointment; and it was intimated that the latter would be nominated for the full term when Congress reassembles. By Mr. Lewis' reappointment hangs a tale. ARMY AND NAVY For Defense "The War Department has received, dispatches from all corps area headquarters describing the results of the defense test. These reports show that more than 16,792,781 person have participated, and that there have been 6,535 demonstrations." If 16,792,781 persons did not take part in Defense Day exercises (one person in every seven), at any rate a large number had a hand. The official bulletin compiled from the reports of corps area commanders may have contained some pardonable exaggerations. But the idea was simple—to get the people accustomed to the initial steps which must be gone through in a national emergency. Parades, sham battles, demonstrations were an incidental means of dramatizing the idea. POVERTY A worn-looking mother and her five children who had spent almost a week living in a crudely improvised tent made of their dilapidated furniture covered with a sheet in the back yard of their former home. A tenement at No. 481 Essex Street, Brooklyn, were booked in the Liberty Avenue Precince early this morning on a technical charge so that they might be provided with shelter and food. One daughter, Beatrice, fourteen, suffering from tonsolitis and malnutrition, was immediately taken to the Bradford Street Hospital. The mother, Mrs. Martha Fleury Schmidt, thirty-nine, and her oldest child, Louis, sixteen were recorded as vagrants and sent to the Brownsville Precinct to spend the night. "WE SAY IT WITH NEWS" THE CAMPAIGN At Denver, John W. Davis, going into new country, began to use new weapons, although he did not abandon the oil scandals, the Republican tariff. His first topic was irrigation and reclamation. He cited the misfortune which has overtaken many settlers on irrigation projects; told how, in many cases, settlers were in dire distress because the Government's estimated cost of reclaiming their lands had been greatly increased by the time the actual project was completed. He quoted the Republican platform which recommended the curtailing of irrigation projects to prevent overproduction, and then exclaimed: "I invite every settler on any irrigation project to read that statement. He knows now with what earnest sympathy the leaders of the Republican Party view his difficultites." At Cheyenne, on Defense Day, Mr. Davis turned to the problems of defense and spoke: "So long as an adequate Navy guards our coasts, we need not fear the coming of any invader. "At the Washington Conference on Disarmament, we accepted a definite ratio in the matter of capital battleships of 5-5-3 as between Great Britain, America and Japan. It startled an American to learn from the lips of the Secretary of the Navy himself that those in power have permitted America's actual strength in battleships to fall to the figure of four or below. CHINA Changese` War Dramatis Personae: Super-Tuchun Chang of Manchuria, over-lord of the Provinces of Fengtien, Kirin and Heilungkiang, allied with Dr. Sun-Yatsen, of Canton and Tuchun Lu of Chekiang. Driven from Peking, where he was Pooh Bah in 1922, by Super-Tuchun Wu, Chang seeks to oust Wu and President Tsao Kun and resume his lordly sway in the Capital. Like all Chinese leaders, he interprets his ambition as a step toward reunifying China. Possibly the whole trouble with China is that there are too many leaders trying to do the same thing. It was rumored during the past week, that he was being financed by Japan; but, naturally, this was denied. SOUTH CAROLINA "People familiar with South Carolina say the State goes stark, staring, raving crazy about every thirty years. In 1801 it voted solidly and persistently for Aaron Burr for president. In 1830 it undertook to nullify the tariff laws of the United States and was called to order sternly by Andrew Jackson. In 1860-61 it first seceded and then fired on Fort Sumpter and forced the rest of us into a hopeless civil war. In 1891 it threw out of the United States Senate Wade Hampton, the greatest soldier it ever has produced, and the man whose magnificent and daring leadership delivered it from the horrors and oppressions of reconstruction, replacing him with a very ordinary politician. "We rather hope the people will make their job complete by nominating and electing Cole Blease. . . "On the other hand, Blease, unless awed to silence and helplessness by the traditions and dignity of the Senate, would be a continuing scream, a clown without cleverness, the most perfect specimen of the cheapest kind of crossroads orator, such as we see in the comic strips, the Senate ever has known—an endless delight to the humorous section of the press gallery. He would draw on the State abundantly the shame and ridicule it has earned justly." THE TATTLER UNCLE SAM'S STORY ABOUT By HEWES LANCASTER (Copyright 1924 by The Famous Writers' Guild) Young people, it came to pass that one day when the recording angel was getting ready to fly down to the earth the Lord God stopped her at the door and said: the other young men began to Bob always was, and to grumplain because they never had a the recording angel wrote in he "Honey, do you see that prosperous-looking brown skin young man down there? When he says his prayers he never asks me for anything. He just says: 'Lord, I thank Thee for this day and all its blessings'. Now, I havent given that young man any more blessings than I have given to the other young men that stand round about him. But where-as these other young fellows are always asking me for something or complaining because they haven't more gifts given to them, that young man never asks me for anything more than I give him. And yet, he is the most prosperous looking man in the settlement. So, Honey when you come back tonight, I want you to bring me word concerning him. As soon as the angel reached the earth she drew near to the prosperous-looking young man, opened her book and made ready to write. There was quite a bunch of young men standing round near the hall door because the Boss of the big creosoting plant had given his hands a holiday that they might come to this hall and hear a free lecture about the creosoting business. The young men were joking and talking and the angel was waiting with her pen ready when an old man came along leaning on a stick. The old man was not very stylish-looking and he was so feeble that when he dropped his stick he could not stoop down to pick it up. The prosperous-looking man looked to see if any of the men nearest the old man were going to pick up his stick for him and when he saw that all of them went on smoking and talking he sprang over there lifted his cap and picked up the old man's stick. While the old man was thanking him the Boss came out of the hall and asked:— "Anything wrong?" "No," said the old man, "I dropped my stick and this young fellow picked it up for me." "Oh, I see," said the Boss. He turned to the prosperous-looking man and said:— "I think you are one of my men." "Yes sir: I work with the carpenters, as a helper." The Boss wrote it down then he said: "This gentleman is my father. He wants a man to show him over the plant tomorrow and I guess you are about the best one he could get. I'll tell the foreman to give you a day off." The Boss and his father went on and all PHILADELPHIANS WANT MEMBER ON EDUCATION Political Welfare Association Sends Strong Letter to Judge of Common Pleas Court for the Appointment of Rev. William Imes. Judge of Common Pleas Court, City Hall, Philadelphia, Pa. Hon. Sir: At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Political Welfare Association last Wednesday, in which the North Philadelphia Welfare League, Mrs. Alberta White President, joined, a resolution was adopted urging you to cast your vote for Reverend William Lloyd Imes to fill the vacancy on the Philadelphia Board of Education, left by the recent resignation of Hon. Thomas E. Mitten, at your next meeting in which the matter is to be taken up. We were advised by Judge Martin three months ago to solicit each Judge individually. Also joining with us in this petition are the Knights of Pythias, under Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier; the Charles Young Camp, U. S. W. V.; the Citizens Republican Club, under leadership of Edward W. Henry; the Philadelphia branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Isadore Martin is president; The Philadelphia Tribune, editorship of E. Washington and Bertha Perry Rhodes; The Broad Street Station Protective League and many of the organizations of Colored people of Philadelphia. Pa., some of whom have already communicated with you on this subject. We feel that we are entitled to representation on this Board and we are determined to get it. We shall not forget, as it is generally said we do. We have been "Anything wrong?" "What's your name?" "Bob Summers." "WATCH THE TATTLER—IT'S SNAPPY" the other young men began to say how lucky Bob always was, and to grumble and complain because they never had any luck, but the recording angel wrote in her book:— "The other men threw away a chance to do a kind act. The prosperous looking man took the chance, did the kind act, and made a friend of his Boss." The men went in to hear the lecture and the angel went too. When the lecturer had made an end of his talk, he said:— "I have a little time to spare before my train is due. If you would like me to answer any questions I'll be glad to do it." The prosperous-looking man looked to see if any of the others had a question to ask but they were all busy uncrossing their legs and getting their hats ready to put on so he went up to the lecturer and said:— "Yesterday I heard the big Boss tell my boss to make a five hundred gallon vat five feet deep and twice as long as it was wide. How did my Boss know how long to make the vat?" "That's a straight question," said the lecturer and here is your answer. While he figured it all out and explained it the angel wrote in her book:— The prosperous-looking man took advantage of a chance that the other men threw away and so acquired knowledge that will help him to rise higher in his trade." Along toward the end of their holiday as the men were going home they came to a fruit stand. The owner of the stand was fussing around because a box-full of half-rotten apples and potatoes was making his shop smell bad and the garbage cart would not pass for hours. The other men began plagueing the fruit dealer, telling how bad those rotten things smelled and asking him who he thought would buy fruit in a shop that smelt like that. Pretty soon the prosperous looking man lifted his cap and said:— "I'll take that box away right now for what's in it." "Go to it," said the dealer. The prosperous-looking man set the box on his hounder and as they passed on the others began excaiming about the fine lot of pig-feed he had picked up for nothing:— "No wonder your pigs are the finest in the settlement! You are forever feeding them on stuff that hasn't cost you a cent." While they were exclaiming the angel was writing in her book. When she had made an end of her writing she flew back to heaven and showed the record to the Lord God saying:— "Lord that man is prosperous because he makes the best use he can of the chances that you give him." accused often of not asking for what we want, but of waiting for those in power to be gracious enough to give us what we deserve politically, but there has recently been an awakening in Philadelphia and the old order of things political among us is being abruptly terminated. We are not asking this in any sense of setting apart a Jim-crow section, but as citizens of Philadelphia whose interest are not properly considered by those in authority or position and we are therefore entitled to representation on the School Board by one who will be deeply interested in our affairs. Your high position as an Arbiter of Justice in our courts impels us to the conclusion that you will not be so unfair as to deny us this appointment and while we have no intention of implying a threat herein we feel it necessary, in view of the long entertained opinion of us to the contrary, to impress upon you that we, like the Indian and the elephant, never forget. We have pledged ourselves with the citizens of Philadelphia to secure this appointment and to get it before election. Some recent experiences have forced us to decline promisese of future award and to demand present action politically in Philadelphia. We shall greatly appreciate your favor in this instance and we assure you that your kindness will not be forgotten either. We are men and women among similar human beings of our community, believing in civic justice and righteousness, in the absence of color or creed discrimination in equality before the law and in opportunity and standing with all in our community who believe in these same principles. Thanking you in advance for your consideration and awaiting the announcement of Dr. Imes' appoint- Page 5 NEATLY FURNISHED Rooms, modern conveniences and privileges. 137 West 127th St. Ground floor, east.

On Thursday night, Sept. the 18th, Bobble Brown's Society Orchestra was the special feature at The Capitol. The numbers that they rendered were highly enjoyable and as a whole very creditable. This orchestra is very popular at the dance land in Newark where they are now engaged. Helen Lee, formerly of Barron's and the Nest, and Pinderella in Phila., is now entertaining at the Capitol Palace. Miss Lee has an individuality all her own, also she is very pleasing to the patrons of the Club. A host of friends and admirers are nightly at The Capitol, so great is her popularity. Lizzie Miles, The Creole Song Bird, at The Capitol, makes a decided hit every time she sings "Fooling Me," and "Louisiana." Billy Griffin is still putting over her numbers in a pleasing manner at The Capitol. Her specialty is "I Can't the One That I Want." Through the courtesy of John D. Powell, Sandy Burns and his entire company now playing at the Lincoln Theatre are to be the guests of honor on Friday Sept. 26th at Herman's Inn. 2493 Seventh Avenue. The Bengal Tiger The Bengal tiger at the Capitol is getting on famously now that he has established himself backbiting by appointment only. Johnny Powell, Cephus Van Hooke and Buck Weaver, known as the Matinee Idols, are still giving New Yorkers the biggest and best Matinee dansant in town, every Sunday afternoon at the Capitol Palace Club. We hear that one of Billy Page's Broadway Syncopators was bitten by the "Lonebug," too bad Jim? If it hurts holler. Goldie and Hubby certainly looked sharp at the Capitol Sunday night. Why must a certain queen at the Capitol have two or three men on the same job? Poor management, old tcp. One of Billy Page's syncopators has been nicknamed "Tank." Wonder why? Rex Stewart still blows a mean trumpet. Philadelphia, Newark, Brooklyn, and New Rochelle were very well represented at the matinee Idols dansant last Sunday. Those out of town sisters were some dolled up. "Dot," the cigarette girl at the Capitol seems to be the favorite with the gang. She's a mean ankle scraper too. John D. has returned to New York after a brief vacation in Massachusetts (not Canada), hence were very curious to see some of his new stunts to get "Lay Johns" for the Crown Prince. They say that The Della Sutton Melody Girls are knocking them cold with their wonderful playing, "Nuff Sed," everyone is going to hear them play at The Tattler Beauty Pageant. Dorthy Sears must be quite popular as she is always in the Tattler. Some vamp! I mean the one in Englewood. Get me? Eddie Moultrie which one is it, can't you decide?

Leaders Some Twenty Negro Editors Play the "Three Tailors of Tooley Street"; Swear Allegiance to the Party But Have a Few Grievances. Who Snapped the Whip? By T. THOMAS FORTUNE. Some twenty negro editors and some who are no editors at all, assembled in New York at the Hotel Dumas, and not at the Waldorf-Asstoria, September 12, upon the call and, surmise, at the expense of the Republican National Committee, as that is the way such "calls" have operated in the past.—that is, "We send for you to endorse us and we pay for it." tration policies which were instituted by Woodrow Wilson are looked upon us a surrender on the part of the Republican party to Democratic policies. 4—We respectfully request representation in office based upon the voting strength of our group. 5—We repudiate lily-white republicanism in all sections of the country and call upon the Republican They pledged their "support" to Coolidge and Dawes. The race has been doing that for fifty years with out being endorsed by the Republican party for anything worth while in citizenship since 1876. A Black Barnum could well say, if any such creature were living, "The Negro people love politically to be faked." While Negro editors of the Eastern District are said to have been called, we notice some answered as far south as Washington and Atlanta; we notice also that several Eastern editors did not answer, because, perhaps, they were not "called," among them, significant by their absence being William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian, Seymour C. Jordan of The Tattler, Fred. R. Moore of the New York Age, T. Thomas Fortune of The Negro World. The twenty who were "called" endorsed the Republican candidates and policies in a resolution which reads really mouthy, with a strong inclination to mush it, and with reason, as they justified their eating of crow with the following: "Proviso that the suggestions herein contained become a part of your program and a part of the program of the National Republican Committee, to bring immediate and suitable relief to the Colored Republicans unanimous in our complaint, as follows: 1—Segregations in the departments at Washington should be discontinued. 2—The practice of the Civil Service Bureau in classifying applicants through the assistance of photographs is accepted as a subtle method calculated to make discrimination against our group easy. 3—The continuation of adminis- POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y. A surprise party was given at the residence of Mrs. Rosa Harris on Friday evening, September 19th, by Miss Dora Kie and Miss Josephine Smith in honor of the Misses Alvah May Chapman and Naomi McIntyre. Dancing and games featured the evening. Refreshments were served. During the social, favors were given out. Albertis Whitaker and Harold Holloway won the prize for their continual outbursts of nonsense. Every one had a most enjoyable time. Misses McIntyre and Chapman left the following morning for Howard University to begin their college term. Every success was wished them by their loyal friends. Twenty guests were present who thanked their hostess for a most wonderful time. * * * Mrs. Pauline Williams of Jersey City has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Patrice for the past week. * * * The Vassar Lodge opened with Charles Brown "headwaiter" and his staff of select waiters on September 16th with seven hundred visitors. This is Mr. Brown's twenty-first year at Vassar. * * * Mrs. Lydia Brookins of 92 N. Clinton Street is suffering with a sprained leg. She fell down a pair of steps as she was leaving home for work. * * * Mrs. Lydia Brookins is now Chairman of Committee for the entertainment and dance which will be given by the Daughters of Elk at at the Rialto Studio on Armistice night, November 11th. Get your reservation now as Mrs. B. McIntyre is chairman of the Refreshment Committee, therefore we are sure to have some good food on hand. * * Amy L.

Leaders Some Twenty Three Tailors of Tooley Street"; The Party But Have a Few Snapped the Whip? tration policies which were instituted by Woodrow Wilson are looked upon us a surrender on the part of the Republican party to Democratic policies. 4-We respectfully request representation in office based upon the voting strength of our group. 5-We repudiate lily-white republicanism in all sections of the country and call upon the Republican National Committee to wipe it out. 6-We must insist upon all party support of a suitable and proper measure calculated to stop lynching. 7-We congratulate the Republican party upon recognizing the colored Republican voters in the 21st Congressional District of New York, and also party recognition in all the Congressional districts where the colored vote is a factor. 8-We urge definite party action looking to the proper enroachment of the 14th and 15th Amendments, as well as the 18th Amendment. The above complaints are brought to your attention in all sincerity; and while they are not held out as a threat against the party, yet some remedial action should be taken if the press is to be held responsible for a healthy Republican sentiment throughout the country." This is the most extraordinary resolution endorsing a party with a string of such grievances as are specified ever conceived and brought forth by twenty Negro editors, whose expenses were paid to come to New York for the simple thing of adopting a resolution "endorsing" without a long string of "whereases" attached. We all know that the Republican party has no disposition to correct the grievances complained of by the twenty Negro editors, and we all know that the latter will stand by the "resolution of endorsement" and ignore their string of "whereasses," and if they do not receive their checks from headquarters every Monday mornings they will be greatly disappointed. The twenty have made an ugly mess for Afro-American newspapers and themselves and for the race. SOMERVILLE, N. J. GRACE DOMAN—Contributor Sunday was Second Quartrely Meeting at St. Thomas Church.

It is indeed Wonderful to think that Mother Nature takes as much pains with each little leaf and flower as a real a true mother takes with her babe. In spring we see the earth covered with soft green grass. And then the tiny buds break forth from almost everywhere. The little flowers slowly open their eyes, lift their faces to the sun as if they wished to be kissed by its warm rays. The birds are busy with their nest-building, and as they work they sing their beautiful songs, telling of the coming of Spring. In Spring one has to rise early to catch a glimpse of the rising sun. And those who behold it have a picture of beauty imparted to the very depths of their souls. Even the sun seems to appreciate the glorious Spring-time. It rises to send its rays to the earth. And after the day is over we see the sun slowly sinking behind the hills, leaving the sky a magnificent picture of beauty. Miss Thelma, alias "Red Bird," of the curve, we heard at least three cake eaters singing these word to you ("What makes you do me like you do do do).

VIGAL'S REVUE DEPARTS After a period of over twelve weeks Johnny Vigal and his Club Murie Revue, which has been playing at the Cinderella Inn 16th and Lombard Street left the city on Monday for the west. On Friday evening, September 19th., Johnny and his fast stepping bunch of royal entertainers gave a party to their many friends and patrons of the inn. Among those who contributed their bit to the program were, Geos, Stemper. FOR YOUR COMPLEXION. To improve your complexion and keep it soft and lighter, use Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Soap which makes it more healthful, free from roughness and satiny without shine.

Hatchett and Wilson who work over the Pantages time and George Tlexander, with Anita Bush Company. A crowded house awaited the host for the evening and we must say that Johnny surely pulled the biggest trick of his life when he provided, a supper for all the patrons and then some. Everybody had a good time and surely Johnny and his gang have made a host of friends in this city. Those comprising the Famous Club Murice Revue are Babe Jackson, Cornell Vigal, Anita Robinson, Edna Faulkner, Bee Freeman, The Quaker City Trio consisting of Mary Selmon, David (Piedmont) Gaskins and Toussaint Duers and last but not least, and Johnny Vigal. I was asked to call on Miss Agnes Garcher in reference to an article which appeared in the Tattler issue of September 21st. Miss Garcher felt that the article was directed at herself; but having talked with others who were present I am convinced that the article was without truth or foundation. In the future I trust the contributors will refrain from spreading malicious propergander about others. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. E. MILLER.

Curri, Phillis Wheatley, Ma Ferguson, Black Patti and Inez Milholland who have proven that women can. ```markdown ``` Women have excelled in every branch of science, art, literature and music and are now making the men perk up in politics.
