But, they invariably add, he has never done anything for the Negro. When a newspaper talks like that it is either dishonest, or ignorant. Perhaps both. Since Negroes are citizens they inevitable share with citizens of other races the benefits of good government. Besides Al Smith has been an exceptionally good governor when we consider only the special interests of the colored people of New York. We cite as an example his fight for the improvement and extension of state hospitalization. Few groups are less able than Negroes of assuming the economic burden of caring for their mental and physical invalids. To a great extent we depend on state institutions to care for our sick and disabled. Certainly the abolishment of unsanitary firetraps and the building of cheerful, modern hospitals means as much to us as to any other class of citizens. It means, for one thing, that when a breadwinner is forced to accept state hospitalization his recovery will be speeded up and the suspension of his earning capacity will be shortened. This sort of service to the interests of the race is far more important than kind words or a bit of patronage passed out now and then. While Gov. Smith's fight for better hospitals touches our humanity his water power policy makes an equally strong appeal to our pocketbooks. The Governor's Water Power Authority provides for state ownership of power resources with privately financed distribution at state controlled rates. This is not the best plan of power control that could be conceived for big business men with surplus money to invest in utilities stocks because it means restricted profits and low dividends. But it is a plan that will save money for people who have to buy current to light homes and run their radios. Few Negroes are investors in power depertures. Virtually all of us are buyers of light and heat. We are beneficiaries of the Governor's water power policy because we are members of the economic class the measure was designed to protect from being exploited. If Governor Smith is elected President he will doubtless give the nation the same impartial, efficient government he has given New York State, and Negroes, no less than members of other racial groups, will share in its benefits. Participation in the general benefits of wise government is all any citizen, white or black, has a right to ask. Dr. E. P. Roberts Endorses The John V. Wells "Mississippi Smith" .

Roberts Endormen Smith New York, Sept. 20. Dr. F. P. Roberts, one of the most outstanding colored physicians of the country, in advocating the election of Governor Smith for President. Dr. Roberts is the first and only member of his race to be elected on the Trustee Board of Lincoln University, and until recently was Chairman of that institution's Alumni Association. He was at one time a member of the New York City Board of Education. In the interest of race progress Mr. Roberts believes that the Negro should divide his vote, not only in local elections, but in a presidential campaign. With Alfred H. Smith as a standard bearer, he says this can be done without misgivings in view of the Government's fine record in which the interest of all groups has been concerned. Dr. Roberts' brother, Dr. Charles W. Roberts, was Republican candidate for Congress in the past New York District four years ago. George B.

Organizers will be invited in Harlem. An inexpensive campaign is to be carried in the state in the interest of the Democratic Standard League. There is a predominance of Jewish sentiment in Harlem. The Interstate Tattler --- New York, Sept. 19. One of Governor Emily's enthusiastic supporters is the colored ex-prince fighter, John E. Wells, better known as "Mississippi," who earns an uncertain existence, sometimes at back driving and other times as entertainer. Last year when ill, "Mississippi" wrote to Governor Smith and related creditors were dumping him for a bill which he owned for a horse. The human side of the Democratic candidate for President was shown in a tattered and torn letter which "Mississippi" now proudly exhibits. The communication, dated March 17, 1917, was sent from the Executive Chamber at Albany by John K. Gray, secretary to the Governor, and reads as follows: "Dear Mississippi: "The Governor received your letter and he was, of course, sorry to hear of the trouble you are having and hopes that you will shortly recover. Of course, he believes you are desirous of keeping the horse and directs me to send you his personal check in the amount of $100." Frank W.

Johnson Testimonial Dinner at the Cafe Boulevard last Friday night was a splendid success. As Mr. Johnson predicted, because the subscription fee was $2.50, only the friends of the Johnson's time. But what a host of friends they have—125 were present and letters and telegrams galore were read from those who were unable to attend. Here was a dinner of fresh fruit cocktail, celery, olives, puree longole, fillet de sole with Tartare sauce, Julienne potatoes, roast chicken, string beans, tartonie and demi tasse and by eight o'clock very one was hungry enough to enjoy it.

The Johnsons arrived after the guests had been seated and were greeted with no end of smiles, handshakes and applause. Mr. Johnson seceded more embarrassed than usual but Mrs. Johnson couldn't help looking proud and happy. They were seated at the center of the speakers' table, at which were such dignitaries as Mary White Ovington, author, Lloyd Garrison, philanthropist, Elmer Carter, new director of research of the New York Urban League; William Pickens, field director of the N.

The speakers—Mary White Ovington, Brenda Moryck, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Elmer Carter, Walter Ryan, Rev. Imes, Wm. Pickens, Donald Young, editor of the Annals and Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, John Hope and E. K. Jones talked on the virtues of Mr. Johnson. He was called young, old, and middle-aged; humorous, sedate, clever, unusual, kind, generous, splendid, wonderful, great — every adjective denoting perfection of which you can think. Here Mr. Johnson got up and ahed, ahed, and ahemed in the best Johnson manner and attempted to express his appreciation. But Mrs. Johnson was the sensation of the dinner. A clever lady. She added the truly personal touch—told a joke or two on her illustrious husband, let us in on how much she adored him and made us feel important by promising to come back. She was presented with a portrait of her husband which had been done by O. Richard Reid. --- The Johnsons left Monday for Nashville, where Mr. Johnson will direct the newly organized Department of Social Sciences. Opportunity does not lose him completely.

DOT'S ROANOKE LETTER DEAREST DOT, I shall endeavor to give you the doings of your home town through the columns of the "Puttier" and I am sure you will find more pleasure reading it in this lovely little weekly than herefore, As you already know, the summer has been a very busy one with the coming and going of many visitors and especially those who run in for a day and are gone again. On last Saturday that charming Dr. Clark of Philadelphia with husband and that dashing sister of hers, Jessia Adkins, ("Jack" as we know her) of Hampton and Philadelphia ran into the City with Burrell Bassett of Hampton and word guests of Alma and "Jimmie" Kowalt. You know how Alma can "rush" up a party--so it was "rushed" and everything was lovely for the whole of the afternoon and evening. They left Sunday morning for Hampton. The folks who attended the tournament in Bordentown report a wonderful time and Alma and Elwood Downing are bubbling over with glowing reports—socially. Elwood came back with the usual honors and this time it is a little New Yorker who has cut deeply into his affections. From now until the next tournament we will hear of this new one—and then? O yes, Gardner Downing got a veneration after all. He went to Atlantic City It's a good plan to drink plenty of water during warm weather. Drink cool water often, but avoid lead water.

Everything to make a body feel "pure and holy" was there and it was up to you to do justice unto yourself. "The Local Club had its first "Ladies' Night" on Tuesday Evening at their Club house and we certainly had a good time. The evening was spent in dancing, playing bridge, "500" whist and short ball, sandwiches, drinks and foods were delightful. There were about 150 guests and each one is hoping that "Ladies' Night" will be celebrated again soon. School opened yesterday and all of the out-of-town folks are back again. Sudie Lawson, full of Chicago, is back and she says she just must go back again for "Chi" is just "Too-Bad", or you, the former Ala-Mai Thompson is back with her husband, Ira Holder and she is as happy as can be.

Image Right AT THE LAFAYETTE Shelton Brooks heads a theatrical delegation of entertainers this week with Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion as an added attraction. The famous ex-champ has lost little of his popularity with the public, judging by the reception accorded him on the opening night. The big fellow, always at home when the center of public attention strutted his stuff with a vengeance. He was in most of his glory and the ovation he got Monday afternoon must have caused his blood to tingle with a world of satisfaction. Jack's famous "Golden Smile" started working over time the instant he stepped out from the wing, onto the stage. He started to tell humorous incidents of his early life in and out of the ring but did not get very far. A young fighter came forth to do battle with the old champ. Jack sends the young gladiator to dress and then starts to continue his narration, when that famous lightweight champ of the hour, Emmette Anthony, appears from one of the wings. Then the fun begins. Shelton Brooks is the same old master and has a clever aggregation of subordinates to assist him in the entertainment. There's Edith Wilson, King Hunter, St. Clair Dotson with his wife, Yevette, Chick Marguerite, Charlie and Lawrence, "Billie" Hayes, Ethel Moses, Wilbure White and a near pink chorus aggregation of Chicago beauties. These young ladies are: Zelma Stratten, Ida Archer, Dora Rogers, Dorothy Irving, Elminera Clark, Lillian White and Alma Sutton. * * * THE ALHAMBRA offers "Bright Eyes" this week, opening in a picturesque and unique Japanese number. Roscoe Montella is peddling ice-cream cones until Ted Blackman comes along to ruin the business. Charles Ray registers with "Ready for the River" and Eloise Bennett scores with the Alhambra maids in a snappy number, "At the Barbecue". Then the drama, which as usual, is sandwiched in between the musical halves of the weekly programs. George Randol, who improves each week, is featured in a mystery murder sketch entitled, "At the Stroke of Twelve". Randol plays the role of a political boss whose enemies threaten his life. Billy Andrews is his son. Others in the sketch are: Susie Sutton, Amanda Randolph, Jim Baskette, Barry Carter, Fannie Lane and Ted Blackman. The second part of the musical comedy finds Eloise Bennett featuring her favorite selection, "Love Me Mr. Strange Man". Then Artie Cain and Julia Moody( female police officers) make a number of arrests. Charles Ray's singing and dancing scores a bulls-eye and Julia Moody with girls scores a distinct triumph. THE LINCOLN SHOW "Lindy Hop Revue" gets off with a flying start with Bob (Ukelele) Williams introducing the cast. Joe LaVaux, ofay accordionist, registers with well chosen numbers. Then the inevitable bed-room skit featuring Si Williams and Frankye Maxwell. It's a wow. Wade and Wade are good dancers and should not attempt to sing. The high-spot in the show is a duet between Lewis Dandridge, and Lottie Browne. The fast stepping girls make it perfect. Some low comedy by Bob Williams and Skeeter Winston is followed by a surprise ofay act "Electra". Two attractive blonds assist. Jimmie Marshall and Si go to a cafe and How. Mary Gregory scores with solo "Were You Really Mine?" It is hardly necessary to say that Shorty Snowden and his partner were as popular as when he hopped at the Marathon Dance. Lincoln Theatre will give a cash prize for the best "Lindy Hop" each week night for the next four weeks. Hudgins Says Pantomime Is Coming Back to America THE art of pantomime is coming back to America, declares Johnny Hudgins, Negro comedian in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre. Hudgins is considered the chief exponent of pantomime not only in the United States, but in Europe as well where for three years he scored a veritable triumph in his inarticulate mimicry. "Pantomime," says Hudgins, "best expresses the human emotions". At least I have found it so. While words, with their various shading convey almost every meaning of the human mind, an expressive face can send a message across the footlights with even greater celerity and more punch. Before humans ever learned the art of conversation, they talked only by means of pantomime. The same holds true in babies today. Who is there that cannot understand a baby merely by the expression on the face? True enough, a THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN Being the only race girl in a big white revue at Dresden, Germany is the role of this charming little dancer LOUISE WARNER. She sends greetings to her New York and Chicago friends. baby cannot convey all its thought through this medium, but it conveys sufficient to make most of us understand its likes and dislikes, its joys and its sorrows. "Although pantomime is the oldest of the arts it has been neglected in recent years by our stage artists. I do not mean by this that pantomime is altogether a lost art. Almost every actor uses it in his work every day. A shrug of the shoulder, a movement of the hand or face, a look and you have pantomime serving in the place of articulated words. But the many pantomimics who used to be seen on our stages have disappeared. "And yet, concluded Johnny Hudgins as his cue came for a scene in 'Blackbirds', 'the future looks brighter for pantomime right now than ever before. I know many artists who believe with me that pantomime will have a rebirth on the legitimate stage. The fact that the silent movies are no longer silent is spurring those with an aptitude to pantomime to seriously, consider this art as the future of their historicic ambitions."

By keeping their eye ahead of the times white actors are getting actors are only running around in a cl Back in ancient times when I was a boy people used to keep pet squirrels in a queer sort of revolving cage. The squirrel was imprisoned in a cylinder which revolved on its axis every time the animal moved. It was an amusing contraption for children and halfwits, for the more the squirrel exerted itself the faster the cylinder would spin. Silly people got a great kick out of watching the animal running its fool brains out without getting anywhere. The Negro stage is a great deal like the old fashioned squirrel cage. It always presents a scene of great activity but it never makes any progress. At least it has not advanced any in the last ten years. Year after year we hear the same old gag lines, see the same old succession of wiggling girls and back outs and observe the same old blackface foolery. Some enterprising producers give their shows new names occasionally but they never change their shows. Most of them are even too lazy to change the name. Down on Broadway there is a play called "The Front Page". It is a story of the newspaper racket. Here is a theme which could supply the colored stage with a world of novel entertainment, to say nothing of four or five good dramas. Irvin Miller is the only man I know who had brains enough to see anything in it. He toyed with the idea a hot minute then dropped it like it was poison. Since Mr. Miller flirted briefly with the subject the colored stage has ignored the press completely. You could observe the stage for years on end without once suspecting that such a thing as a colored newspaper ever existed. Still the careers of Abbott, Bibb, Davis and Vann are just brimming over with intense drama waiting to keep a hundred actors on the pay roll at least ten years. The difference between white actors and colored actors is this; the former read the newspapers while the latter never know what it's all about. Willard Mack, for example, reads in the papers about the rise of the racketeers. Immediately he goes home and writes a play about gang wars with the result that several actors get on velvet for six months. Actors who cannot write themselves have plays written for them. The result is a succession of plays about things in the public eye. The prize fight game gets itself dramatized in "The Big Fight", the underworld is reflected in "Broadway" and "Diamond Lil"; and the newspaper business has its day in "The Front Page" and "Gentlemen of the Press". The entire cycle of life is represented on the white stage and great numbers of actors are kept at work who would not have coffee and cake money if they could not do anything but sing and dance. By keeping their eyes open and marching abreast of the times white actors are getting somewhere. Colored actors are only running around in a circle. A Kansan Plays a Senegelese CLARENCE REDD protrays the role of the Senegelese so well in "Goin' Home' at the Hudson Theatre that countless persons have asked whether or not he really is a Senegelese. The answer is "no", for Redd was born in Kansas, of all places, in the town known as Fort Scott. He is one of a family of fourteen whose father's home was in Madagascar and whose mother is half Indian. The elder Redd went to Kansas at an early age and worked on the roads and railroads there, thus explaining how the Redd happened to live in far-off Kansas. It was when Williams and Walker came to Kansas City in "Mr. Lodecoal" that Clarence Redd, or "Mike" as he is known to those who know him, got his start on "AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY 7th AVE.

Prior to that he had worked at several menial jobs but the longing for the theatre was in his blood. After the Williams and Walker engagement, Redd appeared in "The Smart Set", a collored revue that toured the Middle West. He also played in vaudeville with Gertrude Vanderbilt before making his bow on Broadway, which occurred in the spectacle, "Aphrodite". Richard Hale, white, who portrays the colored Israel Du Bois in "Goin' Home", was also in 'Aphrodite." Next came an important role in "Chu Chin Chow", followed by good parts in "The Miracle", "Salvage" and "Kongo", in which he played Fuzzy Good Man. Redd is again portraying a good man, for the character of Samba Saar in 'Goin' Home" is one of the most sympathetic in the play. COLORED THEATRE" YETTE at 132nd ST.

Kelly ought to know for he played with Gans and felt the sting of his educated fists. "Spider" seconded Rufe Turner, another wonderful colored fighter of the Horton Law days, and saw Gans systematically murder him, as ringsiders term a bad beating with the gloves. Joe and Al Herford, parleyed all of their money on a certain round K. O., and when it came around (14th), the masterly Baltimorean proceeded to knock Turner colder than the region Byrd is exploring. Gans, the king of ringmen, played and frolicked with Turner until all bets were laid and Herford, the canny business man turned "thumbs down" back there in his corner. Oh! its one grand and glorious feeling my maties when Lions, whether captive or foot-loose, assume a playful attitude, . . . but one never knows when they intend to become business like, and oft times its too late for reflection . . . your head is in his mouth. LANGFORD ALMOST FORGOT LINES SAM LANGFORD, stockily built Nova Scotian who made Boston his bailwick—during his halyceon greatness came close to forgetting his lines—some years ago in—a bout with—the late Stanley Ketchell, Joe Woodman, who handles—the fistic destiny—of King Solomon, Knute Hansen—et al., signed sad Thamuel—for a six round no decision joust—in the city of Brotherly Love,—close to two decades ago. To all intents—and purposes,—the battle between these two darlings of the hitters—was strictly on the 'Chow'—which interpreted—according to ring parlance,—simply means that Langford's hands were not tied by—an agreement that would cause him to forfeit—his end of the purse. Colored fighters of the present—often hide—behind—the overplayed—excuse of—"I was forced to do business." Not a number—of times,—it is true,—Then again they were soundly beaten by a better ringman,—so that's that,—The Langford-Ketchel joust—took place in Philadelphia—April 27th, 1910—just three months prior to—the never to be—forgotten Johnson-Jeffries imbroglio, that shocked—so called—"White—Supremacy" to its well known heels, Langford,—quite naturally—and of a course—is non-committable—on the subject of—the inside doings—of this fight in question. However,—the sport—world fully realizes—that like Joe Gans—the 'Devastating Bostonese Bearcat'—figured in many ring battles—that were far from being—on the level—due solely to—his penchant—for knocking his opponents—stiff as a cod—before—the ring—siders—could be properly seated. Sam—promised—not to smack the Polish—demon—any harder than the law—specified in—his case—and most of the—leading scribes—of the country—are agreed that—Ketchell—knew nothing of—the minister plot—and waged this titanic scrap—with no idea whatsover—that Langford's hands—had been tied. For two rounds—everything ran—along—handsomely—and with much eclat. In the third heat—Ketchell swung a left—at Langford's chin—that the squat Nova Scotian—ducked under—and received on—the left side—of the head. For a second—Langford forgot all about—the hidden—arrangements—and shot a right—at Ketchell—that—would—have cromated—his closest relations. Years later, "TAD', related a story—in which he stated—that—Ketchell—said that blow—shot at him by Thamuel—smelled like—a hot brake. Sam was piping—hot—when he—reached his—corner for the next round, and was for knocking—out the hard socking—westerner, Woodman,—pleaded with sad Thamuel—about that—promised 45 round coast bout—with Ketchell—for twenty grand—which was—considerable dough—for—a knuckle pusher—back in—the golden days of istiana, Langford—pocketed his pride—and anger—and allowed Stanley—to last—out the six rounds—both boys managers—claiming the—victory—in the papers the—following day—as it—was—a no decision—affair. Here is where—Kid Fate—steps in to the—photo,—Ketchell, was shot and killed—by a rancher named—Dipley—before Langford could—get him—in—one of those finish affairs. We never know—one second from—the other—in—this—little old—world of ours, do we? Fans Fail to Patronize Harlem Clubs Field Day We seriously wonder if members of this group are cognizant of the fact, that open air sports is the cleanest form of amusement. Last Friday afternoon, the combined "Harlem Night Clubs" staged a Field Day featuring the one and only Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, worlds premier backwards sprinter among other attractions, and a corporal's guard failed to attend. The weather was ideal, ground conditions were never better, and some of the competing athletes were almost of Olympic calibre; only the crowd was the poorest and most disappointing ever. Had the heads of the various organizations announced some buandy outdoor playet, no less than 10,000 would have taxed Dyckman Oval to capacity, as it was, hardly 100 fans were in the stands. But these hundred will attest to the authenticity of our statement when we say that the games and the baseball tilt out did anything of its kind this season.

All over the Middle West, critics are hailing Big Bill Hartwell of Chicago and other points of the map, as a potential John Arthur Johnson, Fistiana's stormiest petrel. While finding fighters of Johnson's calibre is like shooting the stars in one of these new fangled rockets that are invented yearly—it can happen Mawruss—it is highly probable Jacob. Hartwell is as large as the ex-Worlds champion, is said to follow the same defensive tactics (hard to believe isn't it) and hits with knockout force with either hand. He is a youngster, and recently knocked out Larry Gains, wonderfully clever Colored Canadian title holder. Another Jack Johnson, minus his flare for "notoriety" would start a White Hope division as it did back in 1910, when the Big Four were all black men and each of championship calibre to wit: Langford, McVea, Jeanette, and the king of them all—Johnson. friend, failed to put in an appearance.

Every athletic organization in this metropolitan sector, as well as every athlete of color, extends deepest sympathy to Johnny Holt and his faithful little wife over their loss. Al Moses Club Sports By JACK LIVINGSTON Famous "Collegiate" Basketball Star The Mighty Pirates The club containing the most all around athletes in Harlem is the New York Pirates. The Pirates, truly a baseball club, consists of lads possessing all around athletic ability. To show that they are still in form and yet unbeatable they triumphed greatly at Dyckman's Oval, Friday afternoon. The athletic games held by Harlem's night clubs started with a baseball game between Small's Paradise nine and the Band Box. On Small's nine we find—Smith on 1st base, Jefferies at short stop and Booker in the box, all Pirate men. George Booker pitching unhitable ball won the contest from the veteran String Bean Williams, formerly of Lincoln Giant fame. Smith and Jeffries getting 2 hits each. Now here is where the Pirates' versatility is shown. At the end of the ball game the Pirates still representing Small's decided to win the mile relay---that is one-quarter mile a man. But this seemed no easy task. We find for competition Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Leslie Lockhart, William Dudson and Bernie Blanchard. These men all sprinter's of Olympic ability. Well, to make a long story short, Booker took the lead from Dudson, Wright held his own against Lockhart, Knox slightly keeping the lead from Blanchard and Smith keeping Robinson from overtaking the 5-yd. advantage. Now if that doesn't prove their all around ability this will. You readers who attend high schools or follow high school athletics must have heard of--Ernest "Spanker" Smith, the only Negro to make the 1927 All City Football Team. Spanker also won his letters in Stuyvesant in these sports, baseball, track and basket ball. George Booker, all city baseball pitcher, selected by the New York Evening Telegram, Booker also excels in track. Ernest "Billy" Knox, football, track and basket ball star, "Brick" Wright, basketball, baseball, football and track, the greatest athlete that ever attended the Textile High School. With lots like these our race can't be kept from the top of the athletic world. Keep it up mighty Pirates, Cuban Stars Take 11 Inning Game From The Cuban Stars got sweet revenge on the Lincoln Giants in their final appearance at the Catholic Protectory Oval this season when they won a 11 inning contest from the Lincoln Giants and then came from behind to tie the score of the second game, which had to be called on account of darkness. A big crowd was on hand to see Hector and Juanelo in a pitcher's duel for the first game last Sunday and also to see the heavy hitting in the second game. The scores were 5-4 and 7-7. Hildale will be at the Protectory for the last time this season on Sunday, September 22.

But the demand for his appearance became so great that it was impossible for him to escape.

The call was made late in order that his routine work would not be interrupted. * * * When Dr. Lucas entered the door and was ushered back into the "Indian Wigwam", the story was told in tolly good fashion.

The glory and splendor of the last two weeks in August, and the first week in September moves me to salty tears of unforgetfulness. Forever and a day. I shall remember that panoramic symphony of delectable femininity clad in just a bit more than nature had provided for them. And too, in my mind's eye, I see lithesome mermaids consorting with neptune, whose liquidious tears wrought distraction upon the permanent waves of the ambrosial locks of nature's children. Venus and all the gods were there. There were floating hips, decolette one piece garments, costumes of the "King Tut" period, modernistic creations, and cotton cloth. This watering hole outshone anything that any European spa could present. Now that all eyes are set for the mud classic between Howard and Lincoln Universities, all that's left of the mighty throng are a few fashionables who are taking advantage of late September's and October's Indian Summer. Delightful! And, June, we have with us the south's most fashionable matrons in the person of Mrs. E. Green, wife of the noted physician, Dr. A. B. Green of Norfolk. And, June, accompanying her is the "sartorial prince" of Old Howard's Campus, her son, A. B. Junior. They have been doing the east. First Buckroe Beach, then, Richmond, up through the foot hills, and out over the tidal basin into the east where little New York was a perfect bore, so madam and her son entrained for Atlantic City. Each day you will see them in a rolling chair on the Wooden Way. They have lost no time in looking things over. Parties, dinners, and luncheons, automobilling, and all those things. Mrs. Hayes, mother of Vivian Fosten, is a girlhood chum of Mrs. Green. Sunday they betook themselves to the village of flowers, Pleasantville, where they were the guests of Mrs. Martin, sister of Mrs. Hayes. The lady and son in question are quartered at the home of one of A. B.'s College buddies, Herod Eastman McLeod, Esq., Oh! Among other visitors, we have Katie Corbett, pretty nurse from New York. Miss Corbett put up at the Liberty, where she was the guest of Miss Harviet Harris. Also, Albert Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, J. E. McDonnel, Wash., Jerome Sadler, Albert Braitwaite, Herbert Finney of the Quaker City. Mrs. Rose Gatewood, Mrs. Berniece Henry, Peter Duncan, Robb Lee, and Samuel Davis. Mr. Gardener Puckham has the happy faculty of making one feel at home. Irving H. Selden, who by now should be in New York remained over to do the town with A. B. and his mother. Such a time! Some prominent persons enjoying the balmy breeze are: John B. Davis, Undertaker, and Mrs. Estella Taylor, Pittsburgh, Ellsworth Holmes, Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph, New York Leon Duesnburg, Chicago. June it would seem as though the season is just beginning. A peek at the above register and the one following bespeaks of as much the Four Hundred as yester-week. The popular Cecelia McLeod. Howard Graduate, has the unique honor of being under a former professor, Montgomery Gregory, principal of the New Jersey Avenue School. Washington, or at least Howard is well represented in the Public Schools. The L. A. Linds of Darby are homeward bound, having been here since July. The Misses Lucy Overby and Dickerson, Mr. J. B. Williamson were seen at Seldon's Photo Shop. Before I close let me mention something worthwhile. The Royal Theater is filling a want that cullud people really appreciate. This show house is the equal of any, if not better than most. Talk about segregation, huh? You cannot keep the races separated, especially when the Negro has what the white man desires. I notice that other houses are trying all kinds of inducements to keep the colored patronage in tact. The Colonial has employed an orchestra. See, June, all one has to do is to produce the goods. Last, but not least, we regret the passing of Mrs. McQuinn. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved family. SYRACUSE and WILLIAM H. JACKSON. Eugene Martin, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., while visiting many cities including Philadelphia and Detroit, Mich., stopped over in Syracuse, where he spent a very pleasant week-end visiting Mrs. Wheaton.

William Lawrence to Remain In Paris The following interesting letter which I will share with my readers is from the charming William Laurence who will be remembered as the gifted accompanist of Roland Hayes. A year ago, Mr. Laurence left the states for a year's study in France. Although an accompanist of rare ability, it seems that the talented Mr. Lawrence was not satisfied. His secret ambition was to be a singer. And here is his own story of his success: Dear Mrs. Dismond: Here we are still in Paris studying diligently but being amply rewarded for our labors. I have refrained from writing you be- The beautiful seven-story elevator Avenue, three blocks north of C on the cooperative plan. fore this time because I wished to have something definite to report, and now I rejoice and am exceedingly happy and desire that you rejoice with me because your sympathetic prophecy is being fulfilled. Our coming here and the way things have developed and are developing seems to have been destined. May I tell you more? To say that I have been fortunate in meeting a great vocal master who is tremendously interested in my voice is to put it mildly. May I add here that my whole musical education has been only preparation and foundation for the work now at hand. We are planning to remain here one more year, at the expiration of which time I will make my debut in France and England, after which I will return home for a few engagements. A little while ago Mr. Roger Quilter spent a few days with us in Paris. We had a jolly time working out many of his compositions and shaping our program for London. Truly, "this is my great adventure." Mrs. Laurence joins me in sending you every good wish. WILLIAM LAURENCE.

Thomas ONCE upon a time the question was asked, by one of the great church leaders of the United States: When shall the West Indian and the American Negro stop fighting each other? To this the Rev. Bishop Derrick, replied, "When the two people are made to realize that they are essential to the happiness, comfort and common progress, of each other. Recent years of community progress in Harlem, have left those of the community who were able to think with the definite realization that the two groups were essential to each other. Time was when the West Indian was a nomad—coming to New York with the precise object of returning to his home, just as soon as he was able to realize enough cash upon which to live. His outlook upon life was nationalistic rather than racial; he viewed the problems of the Negro American with scant interest, and felt rather resentful that the stupidity of the American white man caused him to place the West Indian in the same boat with the Negro American. Friday, September 21, 1928 West Indians By JUSTIN ONCE upon a time the question of church leaders of the United States and the American Negro stop the Rev. Bishop Derrick, replied, "We realize that they are essential to the progress, of each other. Recent years, have left those of the community the definite realization that the other. Time was when the West New York with the precise object soon as he was able to realize en outlook upon life was nationalistic problems of the Negro American resentful that the stupidity of the to place the West Indian in the so * * * The march of events—the World War, the lack of discrimination, by the white American between the West Indian and the native American, the attitude of the British nation, in which the Negro West Indian was made to understand that he was merely a Negro, designed like his brother the Negro American, to be exploited by the white race; the experience of the West Indian soldier in Europe—where he was discriminated against by English white men, in the same way that the black American was discriminated against by the white American, the ruthless exploitation by the British nation of the black West Indian, the Cardiff riots, right after the World War—the great wave of racial consciousness, which swept over all peoples after the War—the doctrines of Marcus Garvey, and the discovery by the West Indian, in contact with the native American blacks that they were bound in a common fellowship, had served to bind the two into common harness. --- * * * Within recent time this unity of purpose and of life had been made manifest by the cooperation and the sympathy which has been displayed by the intelligent leaders, of both groups. There are still those, however, who are stubbornly opposed to the unity of the two—ignorant West Indians, still hold to the judgment that the native American, is a most vicious enemy who should be frustrated and deafeted at all cost; there are still native Americans who preach the doctrine that a West Indian is still the same bumptious, conceited "Mr. Know-All" that had plagued the ears of the American Negro for more than a quarter of a century. * * * In every walk of life the serpent of distruct and suspicion may be discovered walking in the midst of the two peoples—spreading agitation, and malicious propaganda, in the ranks of the two groups. In the fraternal organizations, in the churches, in the Schools, in newspaper offices, in the social and civic organizations, wherever the two must come together for the common good, there are to be met those whose professional duty it is to spread the seed of disunion and discontent among the two people. In the homes of the community, if a West Indian woman selects an American man for her mate, the stupid ignorant of her group, sets out to discredit the marriage; on the American side, if a West Indian man is selected by some unsuspecting American girl as her mate, the family of the girl feels bent upon the destruction of the otherwise happy union. * * * The native American whenever he is n tired of agitating for his rights and of its "cussing out" white people, quenches a his thirst for the white man's blood, 1 THE CHORUS Twinkle, twinkle, little stars. WHITLOCK FORBES and a group of her public school tots. They love school and their teacher. with the slime of non-existent faults in the standing of the West Indians. The most popular of these faults is that the West Indian does not become an American citizen, and hence is a menace to the political progress of the American Negro. Now it just happens that, according to the figures which have been supplied by the State Bureau of the Census, and by the figures which are available in the World Almanac, that the West Indian votes all out of proportion to his numbers. According to the figures supplied by the Secretary of State, for New York, in the year 1925, there were 2,600 West Indian voters, residing in the Harlem five Assembly Districts, with a total West Indian population of 31,728. Now allowing for the existence of the West Indians who are ill, those who are minors, and those who are in prison, it means that the West Indian showed a proportion of voters, of one in each 14 persons of his population. On the other hand, there were according to the figures gathered from the same source, an American population of 279, 576 residing in the five Assembly Districts, in Harlem; the voting strength of these persons as recorded by the Secretary of State of New York, was 37,000 in the year 1925. * * * These figures will show that, only one in each 7,000 of the native Americans took the bother to vote. Now this would indicate that the West Indian was not only a most politically minded animal, but he was more interested in the affairs of his adopted country, than were those of native stock. In addition to this, according to figures which have been supplied WHITLOCK FORBES and a gr acher. by the bureau of regional foreign-born population, of the Foreign Born Voters Association, the West Indian became naturalized in a ratio of 1 to 73 per annum, while the general white population in the United States became naturalized in the ratio of one to each 1,547 per annum. Only one group among the whites, in the State of New York took greater advantage of naturalization than the West Indians, and that group, is the Irish. Any consideration of the facts in relation to becoming American citizens, on the part of the West Indians, prove that they have done so, all out of proportion to their numbers. On the other hand the native American who already is possessed of the right to vote, displays a most woeful lack of interest in his political progress. --- Nothing in the world is strong enough to keep the two people apart. And if those who are of leadership stature among both groups would cease their agitation, and simply get down to common sense, the problem such as it is would melt as the snow on a July day. A growing community consciousness is making deep inroads into whatever of this prejudice which might still exist among the two people, and the time is not far distant when intermarriage, fraternal organization unity, and contact, school and college attendance, the need for seeking similar employment, in the same institutions, and other social, economic and fraternal forces will drive the two into harmonious accord, by the sheer force of the recognition on the part of each that "there is a common bond". group of her public school tots. The caste system f every group depends for its continuance upon the attitude of the women of the caste. Likewise, the difference which may exist and which are recognized between the two groups, must depend upon the women of the two groups for their continuation. But happily, the American woman has always been so intelligent that she has failed to lend any cooperation to the prejudices of her men against the West Indian men, and it only waits now that the West Indian men, and it only waits now that the West Indian woman, shall develop as much independence in mating, as had her American sister, for the entire structure of the prejudice between the two groups to be broken down by the most effective weapon possible—that of love and affection. --- Page Fifteen MME.

No names will be published. Letters enclosing a stamp will be forwarded to persons for whom they are intended. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackle Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome, too." There is the Nancy Miller married to the wealthy rajah, he with the several wives: Here is our little lady objecting to the attention paid other fair ones by her American admirers. How temperaments differ! "I am just as lonesome as you are," she writes in answer to one of the hearts, heavy with loneliness. "I've been out with quite a few American fellows who were untrue to me; so now, I am ready to try a foreigner." I am glad to hear that you are in school. When you answer I'll write my life's history for you. You will reply before October 1st, I hope, so I can send you my home address in Elizabeth, N. J. I am only working here during the summer. I am.—Lonesome. P. S.—I'll send my photo after you send yours." Our correspondent below, we opine from the tenor of his missive, is none other than a Beau Brummel, destined to be admired by all the females of the species, though he says he is lonely now. I am just one of the many Lonesome Hearts. I read your letter over carefully. I think I am just the type of gentleman you are seeking. I am 24 years of age. ★ ★ ★ I have brown skin, smooth, with black wavy hair and am considered good looking. I also hold a very good position and am looking toward the future. It seems as though I am interested in about every sport mentioned. As for dressing, I think I can run number one with the best. I am just in great hope I'll be the lucky one to receive an answer from you. This letter is not penned the very best but try not to overlook it." * * * The state that does honor to William Penn-or shall I say the commonwealth that the distinguished gentleman made famous by his historical visit—has a Lonesome Heart. According to our understanding of Quaker Lore, the spirit moved him to send a call. "I saw your letter in the Tattler and would like to get in touch with you. It is rather difficult to write a letter to one whom I have never seen before, but I suppose you will understand why I have written such a short one. I shall tell you something about myself: I have brown skin, am tall and weigh 150 pounds, age 25. I do not live in New York but I thought you might be interested in some one in Philadelphia as well." * * * The Hon. Al Smith is not, I perceive, the only devotee of Catholicism. "Would you kindly put me in touch with the gentleman whom I understand is a Catholic of twenty-one years. He is blue-eyed, blond, and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. I am also loneosme but I wanted a Catholic and one who would be a true pal or a husband. I am twenty-one years old, brown skin, chestnut brown curly hair and a slender type. I am a Catholic also. I have been lonesome for some time and I was looking over the Tattler and saw your column and was very much pleased. I truly hope you can do something for me."

Chew for Smith Washington, Sept. 19.—Richard B. B. Chew, well known lawyer, in giving his reasons for supporting Governor Smith for President, says: "The Republican Party, as at present constituted, together with its henchmen and certain religious fanatics, to blind the electorate and divert attention from the disgrace brought upon their Party by their many diabolical acts during the last seven years, as evidenced by investigations by Committees of Congress, are endeavoring to resurrect ancient history by bringing to the front in this campaign alleged deeds and misdemeanors of Tammany Hall. A Democratic organization that can lay claim to the fact that partly through its guidance and cooperation for more than a century, not only the City of New York, but the State of New York has grown to be the greatest city and the greatest state in not only the United States but in the civilized world.
