ROCKEFELLER, JR., GIVES MILLION TO COLORED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Tuskegee and Hampton Institutions To Benefit By Monster Gift, Free of All Conditions; Donation Hailed By Prominent Men Throughout the Nation as a Big Step Toward Better Racial Relations Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the Hampton and Tuskegee special gifts committee, seeking to raise $5,000,000 for the educational work at these two prominent institutions announced last Saturday, that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., had given $1,000,000 to the colored schools, free of all conditions. --- Friday, March 13, 1925. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER TO COLORED EDUC Tuskegee and Hampton Institute Gift, Free of All Conditions Prominent Men Through Step Toward Better Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, Tuskegee special gifts commit for the educational work at the announced last Saturday, that given $1,000,000 to the colored In a letter accompanying his donation. Mr. Rockefeller said: "Inasmuch as I have been profoundly interested in these schools ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when General Armstrong was its head, because they provide an education which fits boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward to higher and professional education or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character with the development of mind and body, and because of a life-long interest in the colored race, I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000. As I understand it, this leaves you still $1,500,000 short of your goal. "I wish you every success in this most important and worthy enterprise." The announcement of Mr. Rockefeller's gift," Dr. Stokes said in his statement, "is news of national importance." "In the first place," he added, "there is no one in America in whose sound judgment in matters of philanthropy the public has rightly more confidence than in that of Mr. Rockefeller, and he has made a special study of the educational needs of the South. In the second place it directs attention to the extraordinary significance of these two institutions. one of which for over fifty years and the other for over thirty years, in close cooperation and sympathy, have been working quietly and consistently for the upbuilding of the Negro and the improvement of race relations in the South. "Those from whom the largest subscriptions were expected have already been heard from. It will, therefore, require the most unselfish and generous action." Scores of congratulatory messages, characterizing the $1,000,000 unconditional gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to the HamptonTuskegee Endowment Fund as the beginning of a new era for the American Negro and race relations, yesterday poured into the fund headquarters, No. 5 Maiden Lane. Chief Justice Taft, President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard, Newton D. Baker and Governor Trinkle, of Virginia, were among the first to express their delight at the news of the Rockefeller gift. Chief Justice Taft telegraphed: "Mr. Rockefeller's gift to the $5,000,000 fund now being raised is a noble one and gives the strongest reason to hope that the $1,500,000 yet to be raised by January 1, 1926, may be secured." President Eliot, after expressing his congratulations to the fund manager, added. "These gifts will mean much to the cause of Negro education, and that cause means much to the progress of industrial and political peace between white and blacks in the republic." The Rockefeller gift is characteristic of its donor, declared George Foster Peabody, banker, in a telegram stating: "Mr. Rockefeller recognizes that the welfare of the whole country is involved in the progress of the colored race, and that, as Booker T. Washington said, a country which was not safe with ignorant slaves cannot be safe with ignorant freemen." Nicely furnished room for one or two persons, all conveniences, good location.

J., last Saturday evening by a seven point margin, the score being 27-20. The game was a neck and neck affair, being a tie until the final whistle of the first period, from which the Lincolnns emerged with a three point lead. From the first whistle of the second period the game was snappy, with the visitors charming the lead. Johnson, the old reliable Tygar, found himself during the close of the game with Ed. Campbell, supported by Bowser and Brown, and finally pulled the game out of the fire. It was a severe test for Yonkers and proved the Lincolnns to be one of the finest teams in the semi-pro game. * * * The Auchoonauchi Girls' Basketball team is still laboring under the spell of ill luck. The St. Jude's girls gained a victory, but only after a hard struggle. The A. C. A. C. girls are real comers and we are not one bit discouraged by their losses, since they are just familiarizing themselves with the game. The Misses Lillian Nelson, Marion and Mae Lee, Camella and Margaret Norfleet, Valerie Richardson, and Louise Peterson and a possible one or two others are the dependable players in our humble estimation. * * * Everybody watch for the date of the Benefit Dance to be given by the Tygars for a disabled player. Your appearance is all we want and in return we offer the Harlem Serenaders, the inimitable musicians, who have so generously donated their services through the amiable manager, Mr. Malcolm Allen. * * * All the young boys and men should get in line on March 29th at the Messiah Baptist Church to take part in the program of the Boys' Club which is being organized in Yonkers. * * * The installation of officers of the Henry H. Howard Co., 22, Uniform Rank, K. of P., took place on Feb. 28th. Among the new officers who were installed were P. L. Ryerson, captain; W. Green, 1st lieutenant; Harry Rue, 2nd lieutenant; T. Brooks, 1st sergeant; P. K. Watkins, recorder; S. Lambert, treasurer; P. McGee, guard; W. Daise, sentinel; A. Trent, quartermaster sergeant; C. Dow, corporal; L. Johnson, corporal. A host of officers from New York City were present and also from Brooklyn, and Capt. Florence Pollard and Sergt. R. Freeman of John C. Dancy Co. 10, C. D. C. Three candidates were initiated, after which refreshments were served. Great praise was given Mr. J. P. Schoonmaker, founder of the company. Sergt. Lambert was toastmaster for the occasion. * * * Queen of the North, Household of Ruth, 330, G. U. O. of O. F., gave a testimonial dinner at Wiggins Hall on March 3rd in honor of Mrs. C. Johnson who has so faithfully served in the office of recorder for 26 years. A large number were present and many representatives of out of town orders, among whom were Mrs. B. D. Tuscano, Nat. Gr. Recorder of the Gr. Household of Ruth; Bro. James Adair, Director of the Sub. Com. of Management of O. F.; Sis. Martha Bradley of Vincio Household; Sis. Marie Riley, of Ludia Household; Capt.

(Special) Boston, Mass., March 7.—Thursday, March 5, 1925, was a notable day for the colored American race in Boston. All day long, from 10:30 a.m., at the spot where the colored martyr fell first and his white comrade fell with him, until Mayor Quinn of Cambridge, and Mrs. Wright of the W. R. C., finished their praises in beautiful Ruggles Hall in our Colored Pythian (E. & W. H.) Temple, at 11 p. m., the day was replete with high recognition of the historic American hero. The city hoisted flags on Faneuil Hall, where Attucks' and Gray's bodies were taken, March 5, 1770, on City Hall, Boston Common, on Public Garden, sent a wreath to Attucks' Monument and an extra one from Mayor Curley personally, with the Commissioner of Celebrations, Philip O'Connell, directing, and Acting Mayor Moriarity speaking. The State hoisted the flags on the State House and sent Maj. Sampson of the Governor's Staff with a wreath to the Monument, where he spoke for Massachusetts. The School Committee directed the Superintendent to speak to the principals of the League's request for Attucks exercises in class rooms. Boston's oldest banks in the square where Attucks fell put out flags, and others and the Bostonian Society from the Old State House. Michael J. Jordan placed a wreath here for the Irish. The Keynote: The keynote of the address was that a country whose proto-martyr for its birth had colored race blood, should respect that racial class in all rights, and secondly that at this first fight of the war for Independence there was a mingling of the races, which had been the case in every great war crisis since then, and so color segregation was discreditable, inconsistent and intolerable. White and colored speakers said this, with many whites in the audience. At Monument—Rev. Benj. W. Swain, vice-president at large of the National Equal Rights League, presided at the Attucks Monument, which session was under the national body of the League. There was a wreath by the State, one by the city, one by Mayor Curley, brought by J. H. Jones, Jr., his secretary, one by J. Harvey Conover, surviving member of the old Criscups Attucks Clug, and Colored National League, which fostered the movement. A call was adopted here to Pres. Coolidge to abolish segregation in memory of Attucks. "In the name of Attucks of Massachusetts we call upon the President to abolish the Southern segregation by the national government which Attucks helped found on his blood. We call for an end to all denial of civil rights and equality." Segregation—Secretary Trotter hit on segregation at the grave where five whites are buried in the same grave with Attucks, all martyrs, as he addressed a large white crowd on the sidewalk near, blood mingling, bodies in funeral, bodies in grave, as well as in the first resistance where Attucks led a band of whites in what Trotter called the first historic American protest against denial of freedom. The addresses of Mrs. Simpson and Dr. McKane at the grave were stirring. The Boston Branch placed a wreath here. Everybody can secure two Attucks leaflets by sending a two-cent stamp to W. M. Trotter, Secretary, 103 Court Street. MALE HELP WANTED—Porters, Lift Operators, Laborers, Learn steady trade $.75 to $1.00 an hour. Earn big money immediately. No selling, honest work.

PROMINENT RACE MEN ADDRESS CIVIC CLUB The Civic Club of New York City recently gave an evening to the discussion of the Negro's Gifts to America. The meeting arose as a consequence of the "Harlem Number," published as the March issue of The Survey Graphic Magazine. Speakers at the meeting were Prof. Alain Locke, of Howard University, who planned and worked on the "Harlem Number" of the Survey Graphic; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Editor of THE CRISIS; James Weldon Johnson and Walter White, Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Konrad Bercovici, author and lecturer; and Miss Elsie Johnson McDougald, Assistant Principal of Public School 89, in Harlem. Prof. Locke spoke of the youth movement in the Negro race and its spiritual and cultural significance. Dr. Du Bois censured the historians' conspiracy to deny the colored man credit for his share in America's upbuilding. Mr. Johnson spoke of the bad moral effect upon the nation that comes of oppressing a minority group and said the race problem involves "saving black America's body and white America's soul." Konrad Bercovici gave his impressions of Harlem life and ridiculed "Nordic" pretensions to superiority. Miss McDougald told of her work among colored mothers and children. Mr. White discussed the effects of race prejudice on white and colored people. A packed auditorium applauded the addresses. The Civic Club is the outstanding liberal club of New York City, and a meeting of this sort held there is expected to have far-reaching effects. COLORED CHILDREN AS INTELLIGENT AS WHITE A report received from Los Angeles, California, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, states that tests made upon public school children of Los Angeles show colored children to be as intelligent as the whites. The tests were given to 500 Negro elementary school children, during the year 1922-23 and the report says "the group is probably representative of the Negro elementary school population of Los Angeles. The findings are summarized as follows: "1. Intelligence level. The median intelligence quotients and the distribution of intelligence over the various classificatory groups indicates that there is no significant difference shown in the intelligence level of the Negro children and that of children in the fifteen schools taken as a whole." "2. Educational accomplishment. The average accomplishment and range of accomplishment for Negro children is practically the same as for the total population of the fifteen schools." "3. Reading comprehension.—The average ability for all Negro children tested was 0.203 of a grade below the norm, while that of pupils in forty elementary schools was 0.016 of a grade below norm. This is not a significant variation. "4. Arithmetic ability.—The average ability for all Negro children examined was 0.103 of a grade above the norm, while that for pupils in forty elementary schools was 0.38 of a grade above norm. The difference represents a little less than three months school work. "5. Spelling ability.—The average ability for all Negro children tested was 0.973 of a grade below the norm, while that for pupils in forty elementary schools was 0.79 of a grade below norm. Although the Negro children are nearly a whole grade retarded in spelling ability, the situation is not materially different for the total school population." The report is made by Willis W. Clark of Los Angeles for the city school system. Read the INTER-STATE TATTLER Page 3 N. A. A. C. P. PROTESTS GEORGIA MOB BURNING Write President Coolidge in Reference to Burning Alive of Victim and Boldness of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, today made public the text of a letter to President Coolidge, calling his attention to the burning at stake on March 2, in Georgia, of a colored man by a mob whose members made no attempt to conceal their identity. The letter offers this lynching as evidence of the continued inability of the States to suppress mob murder and as sustaining President Coolidge's plea to Congress that Federal action be taken to end the crime of lynching. The letter is as follows: "As evidence of the continued inability of the States to apprehend and punish lynchers, I send you, enclosed, a clipping from The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, of March 3. I wish to call your attention to the statement made therein, both in the headline and in the account of the lynching in Georgia, March 2, that the lynchers are well known in the community and that there was no attempt at concealment of features. We have today wired Governor Cliff M. Walker, of Georgia, as follows: "On March first, a Negro accused of crime was captured by a mob and burned at the stake near the town of Rocky Ford, Screven County, Georgia. So reliable a paper as The Macon Telegraph in printing an account of this lynching, states in the headline: "Lynchers All Well Known," and in the body of the article, 'Men well known in the community were in the mob. There was no attempt at concealment of features." We note that you have offered a reward of five hundred dollars for the apprehension of guilty persons. We earnestly urge that in order that the State of Georgia vindicate the law and uphold its sovereignty you also call upon the police authorities of Screven County, particularly the sheriff, and use all the available police powers of the State at your command to secure the prompt arrest, prosecution and punishment of the murderers whose identity and connection with the crime are known. We urge this irrespective of the guilt or innocence of the victim, which cannot now be determined by due process of law.' "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, "Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, "69 Fifth Avenue.' "We submit this matter as sustaining the correctness of the statement made by you in your first message to Congress, that 'the Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching.' "May we, in offering this new example of mob bestiality which disgraces and humiliates America before the civilized world, respectfully and earnestly request you to urge upon the incoming Congress the necessity for enactment of an adequate law making lynching a federal crime."

Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. WILL PRESIDENT COOLIDGE MAKE GOOD? MANY readers of The Inter-State Tattler may imagine that it is impertinent to ask, "Will President Coolidge make good?" Make good in what? Make good in what the Afro-Americans who supported him expect him to make good, some of the whats being emphasized in an address sent broadcast by Mr. William Clarence Matthews of Boston and his associates in the management of the Afro-American part of the Coolidge campaign. They stated what the race expects of the Coolidge Administration in plain, blunt language, so that a wayfaring man, although he be chasing himself, may read as he runs. In his first message to the Congress, speaking in his own right as President by vote of the people, President Coolidge said nothing new or startling, but he said what the American people wanted him to say about their foreign and domestic affairs. He stands squarely for tax reduction and for economy in the appropriation and expenditures of public revenues, and he believes that we cannot isolate ourselves from the remainder of the world but must take our proper place in world affairs without entangling "foreign alliances," against which President Washington first advised. He also believes in strict party government and partisan regularity, and he believes that we could get along with much less sectionalism than we have and which works only for cross purposes and confusion. In all of these things, we believe, the people are with the President and will stand with him against sectional, factional and bloc combinations, especially in the Congress, in restraint of what should be done, and what the people expect to be done. Insofar as the whole people are concerned, in what he suggests and recommends, The Inter-State Tattler is quite in accord with the President, as most Americans will be, who are not wedded blindly to the party Ephraim idolisms and who are always "a'gin the Guverment," as the Old Irish saving had it. But Afro-Americans are interested in another phase of public policy concerning which the President had nothing to say in his Message and concerning which he has committed himself most guardedly in the past. They want to know what he will do in matters that affect them directly as citizens and partisans, in the same way that others are. What are those matters. They are, proper condication in appointments to office, as other partisans have it, reform in departmental abuses at Washington which have become a crying scandal, restorations to the Haitians of their usurped sovereignty and the inauguration of a proper civil government for the people of the Virgin Islands, in which they shall have reasonable self-determination. Will the President make good in these matters, with stamping out of Lilywhitism in the Departments at Washington and party in the South. If he does not make good in these matters we shall consider that he has fallen short as a strict partisan on the one hand in dealing with his Afro-American partisans, and as a President of the whole people, in whose common interests he should have a common interest, as first and foremost, he is the President of the whole people. Naturally, therefore, we expect that the President will see that citizens will be protected in their "privileges and immunities," as far as it is in the power of the Federal Government to do this. Will President Coolidge make good? THE HARLEM AFRO-AMERICAN IS ON THE MAP TO STAY HE Survey Graphic did not put "Negro Harlem" on the map, but in its special edition, recently published on the subject, it has accentuated the existence of "Negro Harlem" and directed the attention of the "rest of mankind" to the fact. It has rendered a good service and we appreciate it. It has set the people and the newspapers of the country to talking about Harlem and its 175,000 "Negro people." That is much people. Things that they have an opportunity of doing, and some of which they are doing, are such as make for the best and highest in modern civilization. What we shall do with our opportunities is a question the answer to which is very largely with us. Others cannot answer it for us. It must be by our works that others shall know us, for better or for worse, and most of us hope and labor that it may be for better. The New York Sun has the following to say about t"A Negro Metropolis;" based on the Survey Graphic's survey: Harlem, with its present and future advantages for colored Americans, is significant in connection with the status of the Negro in the United States as compared with his status elsewhere. The Negro and the friends of the Negro have at times pictured many other lands—from France to Abyssinia—as happier refuges than America. The pictures may have their truth—was it an accident that Dumas, a quadroon, became one of France's great writers, or that a Negro's novel won a Parisian literary prize a few years ago? Still that a great Negro center like Harlem has developed in America, and only in America, indicates that the Negro has great opportunities here. When the balance is fully struck perhaps he has greater comparative freedom in the United States than in any other land. Of course the advantages America may offer her Negro citizens do not in the least justify sectional or national mistreatment of the Negro by American whites. On the other hand, evidence of Negro progress here such as Harlem seems to present encourages a hope that one of the greatest American problems can be worked out with justice to and mutual profit for two races." The Sun's viewpoint is interesting, as far as our opportunities are concerned and the possibility of race relations being "worked out with justice to and mutual profit for both races. We think that is being done now, and in a more general and sympathetic way than formerly, and we think it will continue to do so. It is for us to do our share in having it done so. After a survey of Europe, Dr. Booker T. Washington expressed the opinion that the American Negro was better off in every way than the poor whites of Europe, and that he enjoyed more freedom and opportunity in the United States than anywhere else in the world. That was saying a great deal, but the facts seem to sustain it. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER The New York Sun has the follow- Metropolis," based on the Survey O Harlem, with its present and colored Americans, is significant status of the Negro in the United his status elsewhere.

It is for us to do our share. After a survey of Europe, Dr. pressed the opinion that the Ameri every way than the poor whites of more freedom and opportunity in where else in the world. That was facts seem to sustain it. "Negro Harlem is on the Map." The Way of By T. THOMAS We seldom stop to think how time flies until the bones begin to ache and the back to get cranky and the memory does not function actively and accurately; but time flies all the same, and like the restless tide of the seass, waits for no man. They remain always young, while man appears to always grow old. Unless something happens to awaken our thoughts to other days we seldom revert to them and what happened in them; and, yet, we cannot get away from the past and what happened in it any more than we can get away from our shadows. There is a legend that Man never dies but that men do. It is a fine distinction, which the most accomplished theologians have wrestled with in vain, and are now wrestling with, and may continue to wrestle with to the end of the chapter. During the week a man who looked much like an Indian of some eighty years, walked into my office, in company with another man who much resembled him. Of course, he gave me the usual pull-up about not knowing him and I had to give him the answer that I did not but that his face was familiar. When in doubt as to the identity of any one that is the safe cut to neutrality which does not offend "I am Rev. J. H. Grant of Georgia, him of the old Pledger days," he said, with a pleasing smile. Straightway my faithful mind struggled back to 1896, thirty-nine years ago, to the first McKinley campaign for President, with Mr. Mark Hanna pulling the strings against "The Combine," and whipping it to a finish, largely because he had the most cash, which talked in politics in those days, as it does in these, and perhaps always will talk. It is marvellous what magic money has in anything. Mr. Grant is a preacher, retired after thirty-five years of faithful and useful service in the Savannah district of the Methodist Episcopal church. The man who accompanied him was his son, who resides in Harlem, where he is trying to get his Dad to come and spend the remainder of his days. I think it would be good for both of them. Mr. Grant is also a veteran politician and has been usually a delegate to the Republican National Convention. He was in New York after attending the inaugural of President Coolidge. --- Way back in 1896, Mr. Grant and I. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Thomas H. Malone and J. Sam Sharpe were at Waycross, Ga., for the purpose of winning the District delegates for "The Combine." At that time Waycross was no place at all, but promising. I did not feel well and so did not go to the morning session of the convention at the court house. Mr. Sharpe, who was a stormy petrel and a very slippery member, took my shooting iron without my knowledge. We all expected that the convention would break up in a row. It did. It was a point of the game for securing two sets of District delegates to the National Convention The convention promptly drifted into a riot. Sharpe drew my gun but was unable to shoot it. He was grabbed by a policeman and hurled off to the jail at Lawton. Col. Pledger caught a train on the move and carried all of the money with him, which left myself. Johnson and Malone stranded for a week, as we could not get in touch with him or our agent at Atlanta, who was off in Alabama looking after coal lands and other things. The postmaster and the townspeople were very nice to us, but the week was one of the dullest and stupidest. I ever snouted and full of dancers, as the mob spirit was abroad, but we got through it Sam Sharne left a trail of bad checks behind him for us, and they gave us a lot of trouble. To show that he was a master at the sharner's game, he forced an order of release from the Lawton jail on the sheriff and did it so neatly that the sheriff honored it. He had to leave Georgia. The law officers made it so hot for him that he had to move on. During the progress of the campaign, Sharne showed up in our rooms at 2 o'clock in the morning. I did not see him, but I heard the undertone talk. In the morning I found out that Col. Pledger had not my bank roll, necled off a $50 member and given it to Sharne, to enable him to escape to Canada, where I have no doubt he died in prison I was glad to see Rev. Grant He appeared to be a connecting link between the present and the long ago. The graveyard groups with the many dead leaders who were active with me in 1896. After a few more years there will be none of those of 1896 left. Like the wasting membership of the Grand Army of the Republic, they will have answered "Tans," the last call. It is the way of the world. Friday, March 13, 1925. OUNCES OF PREVENTION By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association NEW TREATMENT FOR COLDS President Coolidge had a cold. He was not the only one who had been having the post-winter barking, snuffling, sneezing, disagreeable plague which, according to the fancy of most people, belongs only to cold weather of the snowy months. (This, by the way, is a chance to point out again that cold weather and snow should not mean colds! Changeable weather TOGETHER WITH CARELESS DRESSING remember the dressing part plus improper heating of houses and working places, plus inclement conditions out of doors which makes exercise in the open unfeasible these make the "conjugation of the stars" which brings about the outward physical results.) When the President of the United States gets a cold, the newspapers publish the fact. This is safe. No doubt the Executive is not making the occurrence known through improper sneezing and coughing. The neighbors I have seen get publicity restricted to be sure-by being rude public menaces. Have you shared with me the almost irresistable desire to give them poison gas? Overdose of Clorine gas which the President took with alleged curative success! Experiments with this supposed curative agent, chlorine gas, were made at various hospitals and other places and if it had justified the hopes of the medical profession, the public should have been given advantage of this method of relieving as from the discomfort and menace which colds are. We have to wait still longer to see what good may come when the gas has been tested more thoroughly. It may prove to be generally useless and not helpful. Menwile, I would call to your attention the more important fact that the President admitted that he was tired. Weariness, unheeded—uncorrected by getting more than the usual sleep and the throwing off of unnecessary obligations, social and otherwise—places the body at the mercy of infections of all sorts. Infections already having a hold upon an individual hang on if insufficient rest is obtained. Until if ever—the chlorine gas is at your disposal, keep in mind these simple rules which common sense and experience tell you are useful. TRENTON, N. J. L. B. LINDSEY Contributor Mrs. B.

HOW SOME PRESIDENTS EXPRESS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE CO While slavery and later the so called "Negro been one of the vital topics of this great comm from the very beginning, yet few of the nation's have really faced the issue squarely. Most of our presidents have completely ignorous question and some have directly avoided involve them one way or the other. However, several have had the courage to tions and attitude on their inauguration, which from the "New York Evening World" for the readers. MADISON—Attacked slave traffic under American HOW SOME PRESIDENTS EXPRESSED THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE COLORED MAN While slavery and later the so called "Negro Problem" has been one of the vital topics of this great commonwealth almost from the very beginning, yet few of the nation's chief executives have really faced the issue squarely. Most of our presidents have completely ignored the momentous question and some have directly avoided any attempt to involve them one way or the other. However, several have had the courage to state their positions and attitude on their inauguration, which we have culled from the "New York Evening World" for the benefit of our readers. MADISON—Attacked slave traffic under American flag. (March 4. 1809----March 4. 1817.) During James Madison's first Administration, 1809-1813, occurred the war with Great Britain in which the City of Washington was invaded. This war was the outstanding event of the Administration, and it was generally agreed that the President, although he signed the Declaration of War against England, supported it half-heartedly. During James Madison's first Administration, 1809 war with Great Britain in which the City of Washington This war was the outstanding event of the Administration generally agreed that the President, although he sign of War against England, supported it half-heartedly. A Tariff Act increasing all duties 100 per cent. tax of 10 per cent. was passed July 1, 1812. In his second annual message, March 5, 1813, Mr. the slavery question, which was already becoming a discord, as follows: "Among our commercial abuses still committed to flag it appears that American citizens are instrumental traffic in enslaved Africans equally in violation of the and in defiance of the laws of their own country." VAN BUREN-Determined to resist abolition of slave A Tariff Act increasing all duties 100 per cent, and an additional tax of 10 per cent, was passed July 1, 1812. In his second annual message, March 5, 1813, Madison referred to the slavery question, which was already becoming a subject of public discord, as follows: "Among our commercial abuses still committed under the American flag it appears that American citizens are instrumental in carrying on a traffic in enslaved Africans equally in violation of the laws of humanity and in defiance of the laws of their own country." VAN BUREN-Determined to resist abolition of slavery. (March 4. 1837----March 4. 1841.) Martin Van Buren, the first President of the De-livered a lengthy inaugural address on March 4, 1837, was in the preliminaries of its first widespread finance of interest were the national debt and a proposition toiment bank, but the overwhelmingly important passage the declaration of Van Buren upholding slavery. I "Perceiving before my election the deep interest tginning to excite, I believed it a solemn duty fully to sentiments in regard to it, and now, when every motivation has passed away, I trust that they will be can understood. At least they will be my standard of c before me. "I then declared that if the desire of those of me were favorable to my election was gratified, 'I must dential chair the inflexible and uncompromising opp-tempt on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the umbia against the wishes of the slaveholding States, determination equally decided to resist the slightest in the States where it exists.'" Martin Van Buren, the first President of the Democratic Party, delivered a lengthy inaugural address on March 4, 1837, when the country was in the preliminaries of its first widespread financial panic. Subjects of interest were the national debt and a proposition to establish a Government bank, but the overwhelmingly important passage of the address was the declaration of Van Buren upholding slavery. It follows, in part: "Perceiving before my election the deep interest this subject was beginning to excite, I believed it a solemn duty fully to make known my sentiments in regard to it, and now, when every motive for misrepresentation has passed away, I trust that they will be candidly weighed and understood. At least they will be my standard of conduct in the path before me. "I then declared that if the desire of those of my countrymen who were favorable to my election was gratified, 'I must go into the Presidential chair the inflexible and uncompromising opponent of every attempt on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia against the wishes of the slaveholding States, and also with the determination equally decided to resist the slightest interference with it in the States where it exists.'" POLK—First to declare minority has some rights. (March 4, 1845—March 4, 1849,) James K. Polk was the first President to declare that the minority has some rights. In his inaugural address March 4, 1845, he said, on this subject: James K. Polk was the first President to declare all some rights. In his inaugural address March 4, 1858, subject: "It will be my desire to guard against that most danger to the harmonious action of our system which stituting the mere discretion and caprice of the executes in the legislative department of the Government for it been withheld from the Federal Government by the theory of our Government majorities rule but the arbitrary or unlimited one. It is a right to be exercised to the Constitution and in conformity to it. One g Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing croaching upon their just rights. Minorities have at the Constitution as a shield against such oppression." "It will be my desire to guard against that most fruitful source of danger to the harmonious action of our system which consists in substituting the mere discretion and caprice of the executive or of majorities in the legislative department of the Government for powers which have been withheld from the Federal Government by the Constitution. By the theory of our Government majorities rule but this right is not an arbitrary or unlimited one. It is a right to be exercised in subordination to the Constitution and in conformity to it. One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities or encroaching upon their just rights. Minorities have a right to appeal to the Constitution as a shield against such oppression." PIERCE—Championed rights of slaveholders. (March 4. 1853—March 4. 1857.) The question of slavery had steadily grown in this country was in a turmoil over it when Franklin Pierce augural message on March 4, 1853. His utterances guarded but he made it plain that he was against int from New Hampshire, in the following extract: "I believe that involuntary servitude, as it exists of this Confederacy, is recognized by the Constitution stands like any other admitted right and that the State are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the Constitution. "I believe that the constituted authorities of this State to regard the rights of the South in this respect as the other legal and Constitutional right and that the law fully should be respected and obeyed, not with reluctant abstract opinions as to their propriety in a different cheerfully and according to the decisions of the tribu exposition belongs. The question of slavery had steadily grown in importance and the country was in a turmoil over it when Franklin Pierce deliverd his inaugural message on March 4, 1853. His utterances were more or less guarded but he made it plain that he was against interference, although from New Hampshire, in the following extract: "I believe that involuntary servitude, as it exists in different States of this Confederacy, is recognized by the Constitution. I believe that it stands like any other admitted right and that the States where it exists are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the Constitutional provisions. "I believe that the constituted authorities of this Republic are bound to regard the rights of the South in this respect as they would view any other legal and Constitutional right and that the laws to enforce them fully should be respected and obeyed, not with reluctance encouraged by abstract opinions as to their propriety in a different state of society, but cheerfully and according to the decisions of the tribunal to which their exposition belongs. BUCHANAN—Leaves slavery to the States. (March 4. 1857—March 4. 1861.) James Buchanan delivered his inaugural address and although slavery had been the dominant issue in preceding the election he devoted most of his speech protecting the settlers who had migrated to the ira slavery subject he said: "What a happy conception, then, was it for Consimple rule that the will of the majority shall govern of the question of domestic slavery in the Territo neither to legislate slavery into any Territory or State therefrom but to leave the people thereof perfectly regulate their domestic institutions in their own war the Constitution of the United States." LINCOLN—The momentous issue of the Civil War. James Buchanan delivered his inaugural address on March 4, 1857, and although slavery had been the dominant issue in a bitter campaign preceding the election he devoted most of his speech to the necessity of protecting the settlers who had migrated to the far West. On the slavery subject he said: "What a happy conception, then, was it for Congress to apply this simple rule that the will of the majority shall govern to the settlement of the question of domestic slavery in the Territories! Congress is neither to legislate slavery into any Territory or State nor to exclude it therefrom but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States." LINCOLN—The momentous issue of the Civil War. (March 4, 1861-April 4, 1865.) The first inaugural address of Abrham Lincoln, on 4. 1861, is, of course, a historical document. The outfit it was his concluding appeal to the South in these words. "In YOUR hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government YOU. You can have no conflict without being aggressors. YOU have no oath registered in heaven to ennment while I shall have the solemn one 'to pre defend it.' In Lincoln's second inaugural address, delivered pears this undying passage: The first inaugural address of Abrham Lincoln, delivered on March 4, 1861, is, of course, a historical document. The outstanding feature of it was his concluding appeal to the South in these words: "In YOUR hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail YOU. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. YOU have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government while I shall have the solemn one 'to preserve, protect and defend it.' In Lincoln's second inaugural address, delivered March 4, 1865, appears this undying passage: THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Church Bulletin RUSH MEMORIAL A. M. E. ZION CHURCH 58-60 West 138th Street Rev.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the Nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

Grant, beginning his first term on MaMrch 4, 1869, was brief in his inaugural message, considering the vast task before him. He summed up his policy as follows: Ulysses S. Grant, beginning his brief in his inaugural message, consummed up his policy as follows: "I shall on all subjects have a force against the will of the people, opposed as well as those who favor the repeal of bad or obnoxious I execution. "The question of suffrage is one so long as a portion of the citizens privileges in any State. It seems to should be settled now and I entertain it may be by the ratification of the I Constitution." "I shall on all subjects have a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike—those opposed as well as those who favor them. I have no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. "The question of suffrage is one which is likely to agitate the public so long as a portion of the citizens of the Nation are excluded from its privileges in any State. It seems to be very desirable that this question should be settled now and I entertain the hope and express the desire that it may be by the ratification of the Fifteenth Article of amendment to the Constitution."

Leaders of the race would be doing a service if they would encourage more of our youth, looking to be doctors and lawyers, to take up business careers, those professions having already reached the point of over-repletion. With brains and capital there is no such thing as prejudice. Whenever our business grows so large that recapitalization or extensive credit is needed, and the same is not forthcoming from our group, white financiers will only be too glad to step in and merge, philanthropy being farthest from their minds as there is no such thing in business. To say that a new philosophy of biracial economic development is evident is far from the truth. Just as the small cigar and grocery stores of years ago were largely swallowed up by great chain store combinations, so will Afro-American business be merged with white concerns when they show the slightest signs of potential earning power. Afro-American investors of the future will be extremely wary, and will demand ninety-nine per cent management as well as one-hundred per cent security, without any sentiment to place on the altar of racial pride. NEW YORK URBAN LEAGUE NOTES Andrew J. Allison, for two years Industrial Secretary of the New York Urban League, has resigned to accept work in Hartford, Conn. Mr. Allison becomes Executive Secretary of the Hartford Urban League. Hartford is one of the most important industrial centers for Negroes in the East.

In fact I feel certain that he is a person somewhat identical to John Doe. Oh yes, we all are more or less familiar with John Doe. But for the benefit of some who may not know who John Doe is, I’ll try to explain. Mr. Doe is a person used in the issuing of court orders, he representing the person wanted until that person is apprehendea and identity made known, In other words, John Doe is ag Doe until at such a time that he is not John Doe, but somebody else. And that’s the way I feel about my estecemed friend, Mr. William Jones, who is not M1. William Jones, but some- body clse who is using the name of Mr. William Jones much as the law uses the name of John Doe. The only difference being that the law uses John Doe because the name of the person wanted is not known, while in Mr. Jones’ case, the person using the subterfuge name, is doing so because they have not the courage to step out in the open. This William Jones person I have heard of before. It seems to me that he wrote a letter some time ago to one of the local papers, criti- cising something or other, whicn has slipped my memory. Mr. Will- iam Jones is a very clever person, with a clairvoyant’s power of mind reading. Some of the things he, accuses me of and the venom with which he penned the accusations afford indisputable proof as to his cleverness. But I will not attempt to make any defense. If the folks who have known me these many years judge me wrong, all the writing I could do for the centuries to come would not alter their opinion. This I do not believe is the case, for the public has taken very kindly to my articles, despite the William Jones’ who can be found and will be found as long as the world ex- ists. Such narrow minded perverse souls go to make up humanity, and God undoubtedly has placed them with us for some good reason, so who am I that I should dare to criticise the existence of such mor- bid individuals? Not me, I get too much of a kick out of them. They are the spice of life to me.

(Special) Atlantic City, March 7.—Nearly four thousand lovers of the great indoor winter pastime, basketball saw the local “Y” quintet humble the proud invaders from New York the Renaissance Big “5” in a bitter- ly-contested game, by the score of 33 to 31. The A. A. U. rules handicapped the visitors and the home team got most of the breaks, but better fou shooting would have turned defeat into victory for the New York aggregation. Catching the visitors off their game in the first half, the “Y” players ran wild and shot baskets from every angle of -the court. Green, Saunders and Fells were in their glory and luck favored them all through the opening half, which ended 22 to 9 in favor of the sea- shore aggregation. With the second half of play, the visitors launched a desperate at- tack that cut down the big lead gained by the home team in the first half of play, but the 13-point lead was too great a handicap and the final whistle ended the game with the score reading: Atlantic City “Y” 33, Renaissance 31. It was by far the best game seen here in many years and the fans showed their appreciation of the fast and splendid play by hearty aplause. Georgie Fiall and “Fats” Jenkins starred for the visitors. PANTHERS EASILY WIN FROM THE ALCOES QUINTET (Special) Philadelphia, March 7. — The Panther’s Basketball Team, cham- pions of Philadelphia, easily de- feated the Altoes from Washington, D. C., at Musical Fund Hall last night, by the score of 31 to 23. In the first half it was all Pan- ther and the period of play onded with the home aggregation holding the big end of a 24 to 7 score. Hav- ing the game practically won, Man- ager Bradley sent in his second team. Although Ranson, Mitchell, Wil- lis, Graves and Claxton, the Pan- thers second string players did their best, the visitors rallied and made a desperate effort to overcome the big lead against them, but were far shy of the mark, and the game ended 31 to 23 in favor of the Quaker City champs. The visitors did most of their scoring in the second half of play, running up 16 points to the Pan- ther’s second team’s 7. The Pan- ther’s regulars played their usual fighting game and led by their in- domintable captain “Jiffs’’ Camp- bell, Yancy Feelchon, Troy and 'Chambers, were not to be denied.

Bobby Risdon and Al Clitty fought to a draw decision at the Commonwealth Sporting Club last Saturday night in the first of the two twelve-round feature attractions Risdon fought like a little tiger in the first seven rounds. but the greater strength and ruggedness of the white boy sapped Bobby’s strength and he weakened during the last five rounds. But he was always dangerous and stuck to his guns with true Spartan courage. It was a great battle and Bobby should have copped the decision had he but used a little judgment in his fighting. Clitty was anxi- ous to infight and Bobby was too willing. Had he conserved his strength and boxed the sturdy white boy in the earlier rounds, the chances are that the would have wore Clitty down and won the fight.

New Policy at the Lafayette Proving Very Pleasing to Harlemites; Attendance Larger The new policy introduced at the Lafayette Theatre during the past three weeks is bringing forth excellent results. Mr. Shapiro, the new director of the destinies of the old Seventh Avenue playhouse, seems determined to give the folks the best obtainable as may readily be judged by the splendid entertainment afforded during the past four or five weeks. Evidently Mr. Shapiro has been studying the situation and appreciates the necessity of giving the public what they desire. With this in mind, a stock company was organized, featuring some of the greatest musical comedy funsters, singers and dancers of the Race. The first week, February 27, that this wonderful array of talented performers appeared was under the caption of "The Harlem Rounders," presenting "bits" from other plays and featured Miss Abbie Mitchell, one of the greatest songbirds of our group, in a number of select songs. And that first week surprised and pleased the community's theatrical lover as never before. The news spred as to the wonderful entertainment at the Lafayette, but the general public seemed somewhat skeptical and did not take the good news seriously. "Oh, that'll last for a couple of weeks and then they'll give us the old stuff again," was the frequent answer made when told of the big offering at the Lafayette. But the doubters are beginning to take things a bit more serious and are gradually responding to the call of wholesome and superior entertainment. The Inter-National Follies, the name of the players at the Lafayette this week, is the same aggregation of artists and funsters who were billed last week as the "Harlem Rounders." And they are traveling at top speed and keeping upper Harlem in good humor. The same old favorites appear one seems to never tire of them. There is Abbie Mitchell, and Billie Mitchell; George Cooper and Florence McClain, J. Rosamond Johnson and that wonderful band of musicians he directs.. Then there is Eloise Bennette in all her glory and Ed. Peat, Gulfport and Brown, the Dancing Demons and Alonzo Fenderson and Kitty Brown, at their best. And last, yet a most important factor, that beauty chorus of singing and dancing children, who work with a zest and relish that captivates and thrills. DETECTIVES Divorces, Investigations, Etc.

For this special affair, the admission will be seventy-five cents instead of the usual fifty cents. These receptions will be given monthly, and will be featured by special forms of entertainment. A wonderful gathering of dance lovers turned out last Saturday evening and had a most enjoyable evening. The school draws the better element of the dance world and the evenings are very pleasant.

Contributor No doubt the fog of last Wednesday, February 26th, was caused by the tears shed when the funeral of the late Mr. Archie Thomas was observed at St. Augustine Chapel by many devoted friends of both races, and the four lodges, which were in evidence Odd Fellows, K. of P.'s, Elks and Mason's F. & A. M., paying their last respects to their departed friend and brother. The Chapel was unable to accommodate the large number of friends that were present when the deceased was well eulogized by Rev. Osborn, the Vicor. The many floral wreaths with which the coffin was adorned, may be taken as a token of the great esteem in which he was held by his many friends, also showing that he had lived the life of a citizen and brother.

Berlack, a graduate of this school who is a candidate for the Madame Walker Scholarship "Miss Berlack graduated from a four-year course in this school in June, 1924, with the highest honors. Her scholarship throughout the entire school was exceptional and her average for the four years was the highest of any one in her class. She also stood highest in scholarship in the entire school. "Her conduct was always above reproach and she was always ready and willing at all times to serve in any capacity whatsoever. Her contribution to the welfare of the school was remarkably high and she is entitled to the fullest credit both as a student and as a young woman of character and ability." Miss Berlack was for a time a member of the staff at the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. TRUE ART STUDIES Beautiful Women Photos from Life; all sizes.

MANY COLORS LATEST FASHION The fashion of using two colors and often two fabrics in the same suit is one of the season's whims, the results being generally very charming. The French modistes supply us with this smart ensemble. The coat of this suit is cut in straight lines to the waist, from there it has a decided circular movement, with the fullness at sides. Soft woolen material makes both coat and frock. By way of decoration pieces of lemon yellow, also in wool, form a foundation; over which are placed narrow strips of the violet stuff, forming fantastic squares on the lower part of the coat. Further ornamentation is found for the collar, belt and hem. The "costume complete" for morning, afternoon or evening has become an established fact, and predominates in all the collections. Black silk alpaca makes the coat and skirt, and we have white crepe de chine of the thick variety playing an important part as trimming, lining, and in the straight sleeveless blouse narrow blacck silk braid is stitched over the white crepe cuffs and collar, giving a smart and charming effect. Special note must be made to the band of this trimming on the coat sleeves. This band also runs across the back, adding yet another interesting detail to this striking ensemble. Weird stocking styles appeared at the Tuteuil Race track, Paris, this afternoon, following last Sunday's sensation when the nether limbs of mannequins were clad in silk patterns of different colors. Fashion's fantasy today dictated stockings with definite designs, such as those worn by Regine Flory, actress, which bore a circle of miniature butterflies just below the knee. Contrary to the impression to be gained from a mere description, the new style is far from unpleasing. In fact, dressmakers rejoice that at last stockings have followed the general dress trend, which insists that nowadays everything that women wear must harmonize. NORTH ADAMS, MASS.

Friday. March 13, 1925. BALTIMORE, MD. A. MOLE, Contributor. Mrs. Phylis Teackle wrote the Mole a note stating that he missed an ear, eye and armful when gents were omitted from the Grand Tea given by herself, at her home, 1307 Myrtle Avenue. But she was wrong, "all wrong," as the dear old mole of rooting fame is not omitted from anything, and he will show you by relating a few of the incidents that happened. The affair began with the arrival of threes, fours and half dozens at a time. Many a forgotten and rejected one gazed in jealously at the brilliancy of the affair, and if you didn't look out on Myrtle Avenue you would have thought you were in Mr. Charley's. The air of everyone and the way of trying to be sedate was, killing. Lots of them never having been to a tea before were dumfounded as to what to do, and didn't know that they were supposed to go up and partake of every dainty on the tea wagon. They insisted on having them passed around. Then Susie R. was supposed to pour, and she came strutting in about 5 o'clock and the rest of the guests were there and the hostess had to pour herself, which caused Fumble No. 1. Goldie B., Anna T. and Sadie B. kept the evening going with their bright sayings and speeches. The greatest disappointment was that it was really tea that was served instead of hooch, which made the Fumble No. 2. Hattie T. and Lil C. didn't feel at home until the cigarettes were passed. One young lady asked if she could please have a cigar? They had kumqurts, too, and instead of them making good of the affair and eating the whole, they ate the inside of them and threw the rest away, which was Fumble No. 3. And listen, folks just collar the new gown jive that the honest-to-goodness real tea drinkers sprung on you though. Louise G. sprung one on us as usual, also S. R. and H. Topman, and believe The Mole, folks, they were red hot. It makes us wonder how they do it. Martha M. even had some new tight-fitting frock on. They did keep their hats on and acted as real ladies. Well, we will give it to them. It was a glorious affair and much credit is due Mrs. Phylis Teackle, but they all are wondering who will give the next one, and how they will keep the Mole out. The permanent office and headquarters of the local wallflower association may be found on the north side of Pythian Castle on four chairs located about one-third of the way up the hall. The office is open any night that there is a dance there and you will be able to lamp the four chief officers of the club, whose names we dare not mention for various reasons. They all seem to have a whopping good gift to gab. It can well be seen that wall-flowerism is positively their motto as they are there every time someone says, let's have a dance, and I haven't seen one of them yet given the opportunity to accept or refuse a dance, as willing as they look, and I have seen some real burlap, in pants, come in that hall at times, but the rough material carefully refrains from breaking anyone of those flowers from the wall. We don't know just what the reason is, but we have an idea that the boys are afraid that they will get cut, as one of them from my observation, seems to have concealed weapons in her stockings, and carry them all the time. But that one won't do the cutting for all, so you might give the others a spiel, boys. Never mind, girls, another leap year will be along before long.
