Vol.13,No.48 O! HAIL OUR NEW RECORDER OF DEEDS. WASHINGTON, D./C. Mar. 17 Honorable Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds, is entitled to membership in the favored "Six foot" class, and is comfortably above 200 in weight, by pound, and has the unaffected bearing of a statesman. Mr. Froe was a law student of Howard University, more than twenty years ago, and has some interesting experiences of his college days, but he shall remember, Wednesday March 1st, 1922, as one of the big and busy days of his life. It was on this date that he assumed charge of the Recorder's office. The office of Recorder of Deeds stands out in racial history in America, as an outpose of leadership, As a Presidential appointment, the official is not only regarded as an Administration spokesman, but what he says politically is supposed to largely reflect the sentiments of the group with which he is identified. With eight years of Democratic Administration, and, also, in knowing some of the policies of the incumbent. Member of U. S. Supreme Court. Mr. Froe went first to the offices of Congressman Wells Goodykoontz of the Fifth West Virginia District, where he lives. There he was greeted by former Congressman Cooper, and others. From the Congressman's office, Mr. Froe was escorted by Congressman Goodykontz to the United States Supreme Court, where on motion of the Congressman, Mr. Froe was admitted to practice before that body. The next destination was the office of Senator Davia Elkins of West Virginia who, with Senator Howard Sutherland, of the same sttte, and Congressman Goodykoontz, had presented Mr. Froe's name to President Harding, for the position of Recorder of Deeds. Senator Elkins, his secretary John W. Fentop, and a number of others present, joined in extending congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Froe. The next destination was the Recorder's office. Chief Denyut Recorder, Robert W. Dutton, who was appointed by the late John C. Dancy, holding the position ever since, was master of ceremonies. Accompanied by retiring Recorder John F. Costello, the delegation went to the District Court building where Mr. Froe presented his commission from President Harding and was sworn into office by Wm. E. Williams, assistant clerk of the District Supreme Court. Returning to the Recorder's office, the new Recorder was taken to his private office, where the entire staff was introduced to Mr. Froe by Mr. Costello, assisted by Mr. Dutton. The Recorder of Deeds offices occupy four floors of the Century Building, opposite the Supreme Court Building, and has a staff of 53 a majority of women and a number of them of our ground. Most of the employees have been in government service there for a long time. Farewells and Greetings. Following the introductions, Deputy Recorder Dutton, on behalf of the employees of the department, presented Mr. Costello with a mamouth, carved solid silver trav. Mr. Costello was visibly affected by this tribute of esteem, and bade all a cordial farewell. Then Mrs. M. L. Wright, one of the Recorder's staff, on behalf of the employees delivered a most eloquent address of welcome to Mr. Fros, and presented him with a large basket of American Beauty roses. Mr. Froe, in his response, struck a hanny cord, when he praised the effulgence of the work done there, but deployed the small salaries, and saidress of his missions would be to analyst in the bettering of the salary condition. For the present, at least, according to Mr. Froe, there will be no changes in the organization staff, most of whom are under civil service. Recorder's National Outlook. To the representative of the Associated Negro Press, Mr. Froe stated that he had come to Washington to be of service to the people in any helpful way. WALKINGTON ST. PAUL A. M. E.

"There is no desire on my part to be a national leader; but I do wish to be a national helper," said Mr. Froe. Continuing, he said: "We are passing through a serious period and there is much work to be done. In doing this work there must be a spirit of unity. "The people will find that I believe in upstanding manhood. I believe we are entitled to justice, and it shall be my duty to assist in any way I can. "Call on me any time for anything I am ab'e to do, and I will be glad to co-operate. I recall with pleasure the illustratious service as Recorder performed by Hon. John C. Dancy, Hon. Henry Linco'n Johnson and others. I am deeply grateful for the honor that has come to me, and I shall endeavor to conduct the work with credit to the cause and race that I represent." Mr. Froe stated that Mrs. Froe will come to Washington to live as soon as health permits. There are no children. Wellington, Kan. News. Our city was visited by the holiness of Wichita.

Hold Col. Young Memorial. With an audience of Race loving people it was patriotic occasion for the commendable memorial service at the New Hope Baptist Church at 4:00 o'clock p. m., on last Sunday, Spiritual singing marked the opening led by Prof. E. M. Barnes. Lt. W. A. Bettis served as chairman and master of ceremonies, while Mr. J. C. Cowan, acted secretary. Mr. Ellijah Taylor spoke of Col. Young as he knew him, when he was in his troop in many parts of the country. He was thoughtful, pleasing and yet we could not understand his odd way of oratory, although it was fascinating. For over an hour we followed the Col.

Thus we laid away preciously in our memorial, one of the noblest and bravest soldiers America has ever produced, and now look for the day when America will be fair enough to him a monument. City-Wide Mission Hold Impressive Meeting. At St. Mary M. B. Church was helf one of the most impressive services in the history of the organization. Mrs. Ida F. Bates, President, Mrs. H. E. Gist, Secretary. The singing under the direction of Mrs. Ora Carter, with Mrs. E. T. Fishback at the piano, was soul stirring. The systematic rendition of the program, proved ability and consecration and the blessing will come that the soul might rejoice and this was a glorious meeting. The women are doing work that humanity in the citizen will be blessed. Their works are proving their worth. Go, Sister, the Master said: The greatest in His Kingdom was the one, who served all or served most. You have the mind of Christ and the poor will have their needs given and the city will feel your influence. Last Sunday evening marked the end of the useful life of Mr. Geo. F. Butler, the father of Rev. S. B. Butler, ex-pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. The well founded home life resulted in the rearing of a set of useful children and they are able to make their way with credit for themselves, edification of their people and the glorification for God. His ripe old age proved that carefulness in living in young life and the manner in which he stuck to his post of duty proved his ambition for independency to provide for his home in the best manner. We feel that these years are not wasted but that he blessed the world by having lived. His position held in church life proved that his spiritual zeal ran high. Thus we do not mourn his departure as one who did not have home, but simply to express how we miss his presence among us, because we believe while his body rests the reward for his soul from the work that he did will still increase. The following resolutions and telegrams will give you a small idea of his influence in the world through his deeds manifested in his children: Rev. Hayes, pastor, spoke in words what Calvary demonstrated in deed; Calvary's unwritten resolutions were demonstrated in kind sets to the deceased and his family while ill. Se'ah.

I shall forever carry a heart full of gratitude for those who have wept and mourned with us, when we mourned. The ravages of time will not be able to erase from memory, the pure deeds of those who serve humanity.

Since Sunday morning when news of his death was first made public more than 8,000 had passed by the body prior to its removal to the church.

BERT WILLIAMS There's strangeness all around us, How come it strange? We wonder how Each sunbeam has a brighter hue; Each reindrop is a crystal blue; And clouds, those du'l, gray globs of mist With drops and sunbeams, hold a tryst. The March winds e'en don't blow so cold, And there's a dancing in the snow. If I beyond the skies could see The hands that send the things to free Old Earth of sorrow and of pain Thrt baffles all our might and main; Of hungry hearts and stomachs, too, Of mean men who our hopes subdue, And all those crushing, blighting things That kill us with their hurts and strings. I'd see an angel in that isle, With shambling, gait and quick'ning smile. smile, Who'd tell the Hands that set us free, Just what it takes for you and me; For Bert's up there, explaining how— That's why its strange. No wonder now Each sunbeam has a brighter hue, Each raindrop is a crystal blue. Mrs. L. C.

Some of the things he said {s to “know thy- self, then get out inte deep and then draw ¢'l men unto you.” 8 o'clock, the pastor read St. Mat- thew 14:15-29; theme, “The wind was contrary,” He knows just how to de- liver the message.

Here it is—STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR and help do something to make your race. A feeling of individual superiority held within a race by its distinctive members over other members of the race due to a better position THIS paper knows nothing but God, and makes no fight for individuals; yet on matters where Christian Truth and Righteous Principles are involved. It will go the limit in the game, and stay to the finish. ESSENTIAL elements of racial success are MONEY not CLOTHES, REAL ESTATE not fads of SOCIETY, EDUCATION not PLEASURE, HARD WORK and above all CHRISTIAN CHARACTER based upon the fundamental principle that in CHRIST all things must and can be accomplished. TOO much talk caused the Bull Frog to be captured and the silent turt'e shipped back into the creek. ACTIONS AND NOT WORDS and no actions without careful hours of thought and prayerful consideration with GOD. Radical procedure is a lack of common sense and must not be employed by the race in these days when nations are arming themselves against all forces born out of radical conclusions. THE steady improvement in general conditions of internal management at the Wi-hita Phyllis Wheatley Children's Home under the able supervision of Mrs. Wm. Bowers, president of the trustee board, Mrs. Florence Duke, matron and Mrs. M. Dameree, assistant matron are attracting city-wide attention and making the institution stand out as a local monument of which the race may well be proud. Do you know the reason that so and so is not interested in church problems? The church has not interested itself in his problems his tears, sighs, fears, joys and cheers. In other words the church must play a fair part in solving the problems that are disturbing humanitv, if humanity is to continue to give it support. THE elimination of NATURAL TENDENCIES on the part of any race is a good indication of its progress trend. Where there is no elimination of racial characteristics, ideals and methods of life, there is a lacking of the spirit of assimilation. Without which any race is deemed to remain in an inferior position. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN as well as professional men are to a certain extent entitled to racial patronage and it is to the discredit of the race that they in any measure fail of any such patronage. YET CONDITIONS MUST BE EQUAL. A Negro who will not so conduct his business or profession as to make it worthy of racial patronage, IS ENTITLED TO NOTHING. WO Negro newspapers in this city and hundreds published of one type or another throut of the country yet some members of the race are reading no race paper, and if there was a power that could accomplish it they stand ready and convicted of an offense that ought to place them without the social, fraternal and ? ? ? ? circles of their people. The crime is a lack of RACIAL PRIDE. GO to some Cherch Sunday, Bud, you cannot tell but you are to be God's own choice to lead your race to something worth while; yet your training will come through church life and church influences if God allows you to take your place in the affairs of your race as a true leader. A feeling of individual superiority held within a race by its distinctive members over other members of the race due to a better position in life; a better education or a closer alliance with another race will count for nothing. We are all NEGROES in the sum total and as a race must rise or fall together. Character alone is the test of superiority. ACHURCH in this modern progressive age (which after all is but the intelligent pulse beat of heavenly forces, working to develop the higher qualities of manhood and womanhood) that is not operating to serve the masses and not the classes is failing materially of working out GOD'S DIVINE PROGRAM. No force that is working for God can afford to work for and live within its own narrow channel. The community humanity are demanding all the agencies that stand for GOD AND RIGHT. YELLOW journalism when employed to bring any mass of people into a position where they racial security may be placed in the least amount of danger is a high crime against COMMON SENSE, The ordinary trend of Modern Civilization and the CHRISTIAN RELIGION which must have its effect in producing racial disturbance and all the fruits that are to be reaped from a series of racial riots. The cure for this disease which so oftten effects the newspaper world is reasonable protest by race leaders and if not heard a silent protest by route of the pocket book. It is to be regretted that the savage natives of Oklahoma, out in the wilds of America, are so far removed from the influences of the Christian religion that they could in mob formation capture a single, poor, unwarned Negro and rejoice in administering to him their heathen treatment which made him a something more than a mere Negro in the eye of the thinking mass. Yet Christian America has much to learn from heathen nations; the joke is on America. Such actions but make a race think in silence, and such procedure is always teeming with elements of danger. THE GRAND, GLORIOUS ORDER of the K. K. K., which was to produce a 110 per cent AMERICANISM, alas! has run up against a proposition in California. The nation must act as a whole against such organization in order to save itself. Anything in American social or political life which works harm to the Negro must eventually strike against the white man. It is in the natural order of things and in this great truth the Negro stands before the Bar of common public opinion, declaring his rights to equal justice and fair dealing. ORDERLY, reasonable compromise within the bounds of self respect is better than sacrifice before the rabble. Yet where attacks are made without warning against the security or peace of organizations or individuals sometimes there can be but two courses, THE COURTS AND HIGH JUSTICE OF ROME or this disgraceful arena of personal combat. The race must learn to so live as to avoid the necessity of either; if not, there is no hope for future racial grandeur and glory. Organization within itself must so constitute its forces that it will be able to solve its own problems. NOT to glory over victories grieved that causes another tears, rather to glory in the triumph of RIGHT over WRONG; To be willing to weigh all things before passing judgement, on the other fellow; To refuse to believe one side of a matter before hearing the other side; To have sense enough to know that the great big devil and a million of his imps still go to and fro on earth, seeking whom they may to devour; To believe that the women of our SOCIETY AND PERSONAL race are superior to all women of any race in point of beauty, purity, and intellect; To resolve that God made me a Negro and I will develop the keenest sense of RACIAL PRIDE. These are things worth while. TO have just sense enough, Oh! God, To believe that I do not know all things and to be willing to give the other fellow credit for an opinion as well as I; To have a spirit of Christian charity in as much as I too left to myself and my sins without Christ would be as the other fellow; To love to do something to cheer the other fellow without striking at the security of my own success, yet being willing to sacrifice SOCIETY AN Master Arthur Woods, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Commissioner Tigert On Negro Education. (Says Economic Interests of Country are Involved.) WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar. 17—(Special) That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro Education is the substance of an interview given out by Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville, with the heads of the twenty-eight State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South adds significance to his statement, which follows in full:— "The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immensurable loss to the country. It has effected not only the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the Negro population is the greatest, but has likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has injured the morale of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been 'incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be estimated, nor can we form any estimate of what would have been the affect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing his ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."
