He Is isolated and insulat- ‘ed by those wio control the admints- tration. If he be an agrecable party man, like Harding, he is likely to be controlled, whether he realizes it or not, by the party bosses, especially those holding Important government offices, | Another handicap is that nearly all of these men, while they know much about many things, are so confound- edly ignorant about the-rcal situation,’ chara*ter and necds of colored Amev- fcans. And it fs more unfortunate still that because they are so intelli- gent (about other things,) they ore likely to think they KNOW or to be- Veve that their advisors know. | Coolidge is from the right section of the world, right etock, and seems to be the right sort of old-fashioned “Yankee,” but it is yet to be scen whether he will stand up under the tests; the anti-lynching bill and the Tuskegee bospital. So far.as the American Negro Js concerned, he can know Coolidge by his reactions to those two opportunities, I Bat first of all we must supply him with the information, quick. Let us not preaume that he has it. He will have only one year and seven months as President, unless he be nominated and clected in 1924. His cunningest advisers, who may be our enemies, are likely to tell him, “You had better steer clear of that Negro question until after November, 1924,” hoping that by then tho Tuskegee hospital will be Jost and the Dyer Bill assas- sinated again. { Let us not be so silly as to think that Providence has arranged the matter for us by making » Massa- chussett'’s man President. In all probability Harding was ag dear to Providence as Coolidge, and perhaps only @ poison crab from the Pacific Ocean has changed the corse of his- tory. People try to ascribe big causes to big events, forgetting that the immediate cause, te “last straw,”) may be very small, like polson crab meat, or indigestion even, a writer recently pointed out that Napoleon did not lose his chance to master Europe because of the operation of any cosmic powers, but simply be- cause of a peach; ho ate a peach, which gave kim indigestion, and he waa eo engrossed with his stomach for # few hours that he forgot to order pursuit of the enemy after the battle of Lelpsic, If he bad been feeling good, he would have pursued and de- stroyed the enemy, | Let us not neglect to SHOW Cool idge, t SAY YOU SAW JT IN THE STAR. WHY SHOULD EVERY CHURCH HAVE AB. Y.P.U.? it will Le impossible to give them ai It is somcth rg like asking, Why doe a furnace need fuel, the body nce. food or why do we have a atandin; army and navy, what fs the need 0! West Point, why spand money to es: tablish schools and colleges? These and many more similar questions a.¢ hike asking, Wry should every church have a B, Y. P. U.? In orter to have something tangl- ble and defimte we will attempt to emphasize four cesential reaso1s. Firat, The church needs a B, Y, P. U., a8 a source of supply. The hfe of anything depends largely upon its source of supply, The great Missin. sippt River would soon lose its use‘ul- neas were it not for the tributaries which flow In, Each contributing its force to unite with that of the other, making a continuation of one great commercial ‘agency, The natural law demands that the life and usefulness of any power, force or institution be determined by its source of rupply. . The church which Is accomplishing tte greatest good in its immediate community is a body of deliriquent Christian workers with a common and definite aim to establish the Kingdom of God. Its determination 1s to mahe the world better and save all for Christ. As God has destined the church to be the constant light of tte world, it is therefore necessary that it be sustained with a source that will! keep strong, consecrated workers at the front. . | The B. Y. P. U., when conducted in the right way is very attractive to the young Christian, because {t gives him a chance for real eclf expression. So many churches are blind and fail to! take the advantage of this opportune | ity to hold their young. The greater portion of church mem- bers actively engaged in the work, are those that were brought in thru the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., for the tender years of childhood, one touch will do more than all the gigan- tie powers can do for old age. | Second, The B, Y, P. U., brings the best to the church. It fs not only a source of supply but it brings to the shurch that which Is beat physically fit, mentally fit, and a Dr. Garnett added, the best spiritually fit, It prings the youth with its vigor, vim] ind ambition, the hfe that is looking forward, that is Inquiring and pos- essing. Our government eclects men petween the ages of eighteen anl thi.) y for the front lines, There is an, imperative need of the young for sere rice in the church because it is the nost capable in every way. Thcre- fore, tho B. ¥.P. U., is a means where yy the best talent i brought into the hurch, It harvests the frait just at he right time—when {t {s most val- rable and most serviceable, those that were brought in thru tle Sunday School and B. ¥. P. U, | Third, The church needs a B. Y. P. U., for the preservation of its young, foday finds us with too many chuich- s that ‘used to be.'—the older mem- ers having died out the young drift+ d away. If you expect to preserve good ap- oles, you take them from the rotten nes. How foolish a church acts when he young Chitstian-is converted, he urually turned loose to make it as est he can. Nothing is done to help ym. grow or to protect him from the vils he must encounter, There is nothing that a young Shristian needs more than the asso. Jation of other young Christians be- ause of the simularity in interest, opes, alms, and achievements, There s more nearly complete understand. ng and hermony, The strength of ne will help tke others to atand, The . ¥. P. U., is the band of strength hat will make the Christian life of a-h moye se-ure, The BY, P, U., provides @ way | vhereLy the aocial side of the young, Re ae ery a een a ae son ge ONE OF A DIFFERENT NATURE. _ LOS ANGELES, CALIF, Aug. 17, —The Far Weat has begun a rebellion against what it terms tho “money speakers” of the East, men who leave theif petty affairs on the Atlantic coant-Jine and hike it to California, where they telieve they can pick up some easy moncy telling the folk out here what it's all about, There is every indication now that the hey dey of these golden tongued spellbinders ia over. The Far West is Ured of them. Among those who have come, only one has been sincerely appreciated if the temper of a speech delivered by Major Prioleau, former. United States Army chaplain, is held to Fave any weight. The major listened to Dr. Jotn A. Gregg, president of Wilber- force University, when the latter was here, and-afterward declared: “This occasion 1s unprecedented. 1 say this occasion and the mensage of Dr. Greggs {s unprecedented. We have had great leaders come to us from New York, and Boston, and Chicago, They have gone away, not with = fow| paltry dollars, but with hundreds of, dollars, and they fave left ux noihe| ing, Not eo with this great speaker, this Christian gentleman. Dr, Greggs has crossed the continent to bring us this wonderful message of inspiration and has asked for nothing, refusing to accept anything but his bare trave eling expenses. We should be grate- fal for such a blessing.” The remarks of Major Prioleau ate expected to carry great force in changing what has been the hospita- ble and healthy attitude of Califor- nians toward casterners who came to them with a nosrum for this and that. More About The Fred Douglass Hospital Tte Fred Douglass Hospital Asso- ciation met in Executive Session at the office of Dr. H. T.

It Js the Christian between the ages of fifteen and thirty that has the great- est battles with tte present day social evils, It is alarming how he is being carried away into the sins that bring him to degradation, shame and a loss of usefulness. Think of the many young people in our churches who tave drifted away after worldly pleas. vres. Many have started well but have been lost in the'sea of worldli- ness because the church failed to keep the life-saver near, Fourth, The B, ¥.

One report from Selma, Alabama, calls attention to the Pittsburgh dis- trict where many southern Negroes have come, The Selma people declare smallpox is ravaging the city and that Negroes had better not come here. A letter was sent to the mayor suggesting that he ald the Alabam- fans in persuading the return of la- borers, He was asked how much Pittsburghers were willing to put up in order to guarantee the return of the plantation Lands on special trains. According to the local health officer there is not a case of smallpox in the city. He explains that in some cases unhealthy Negroes have come here from the South, and that they havo been thrown into unfavorable sur- Toundings, but that In every case steps have been taken to improve conditions all around, so that at pres. ent there is no need for alarm, that rather, the situation is ‘highly favor- able, Such diseases as these Negroes suf. fer from, according*to health officers in several northern cities, are brought by them from the South, It was this that prompted the vaccination of mi- grants who passed through St, Louis, Missour!, The migrating laborers objected on the ground of discrimina- tlon, so that now the Eealth depart. ment of that city had ordered that all persons, of whatever race, leaving the South, must be inspected at Union station to determine whether they need vaccination as a means of pre. venting contaglous disesses, DEMPSEY, CHAMPION “DODGER” Afor the Associated Negro Press.) Givbons, Firpo anything from anywhere, EXCEPT HARRY WILLS, Dempsey {is a good fight: er, but in his own opinion, as shown by his actions, ke evidently does riot consider himself quite good enough .to fight Marry Wills, If he_did, he would fight-him, “to get rid of him," if for no other reason. Carpentier thougtt sincerely that he could lick Sikl, and 50 made a match to get the bumtious Negro, as Carpentier con sidered him, “out of the way” and to shut that Negro’s mouth. Carpentier was disappointed. Dempsey is not willing to risk dissppomtment as to Harry Wills. He is now on the trail to Firpo In order to keep away from Harry, al- though Harry was a qualified conten: der for the title before ever Firpo was heard of, And just think of it: American race prejudice backs up and honors: this unsportsmanlike business, As if it made any difference what color the biggest and most skillful slugger among all the sluggers happened to be. If Dempsey and Firpo should fight before Dempsey and Wills,,it will leave one of them face to face with Wills again. If Dempsey should be the winner, what would he do then? Perhaps some other South American, or South Sea Islander, could be dug up by that time to give him a sidestep and an allibi for dodging a eession with the big black boxer, On with the game until Dempsey finds himself in a cul-de-sac, with Harry Wills a’ the open end of it, RESOLUTION The Curfew tol!s the knell of partin, day, ‘Tho lowng herd winds slowly o'er th Tea, The plowman homeward plods hi weary way, And leaves the world to darkness an¢ to me—Graves, As the sun was rectaling the glory Golden Gates at San Francisco, Calif, August 2nd, 1923, The Angel of Death sent from Glory to the Palace Hotel, asked of Warren Gamalie!

SO are the ways of Man—Warren G. Harding, the Twenty-eighth President of the United States has passed from the heated arena of life activities to the peaceful oasis of eternal day there to abide with those who have come up thru fiery trials and attained to the rank of God's Noblemen. Harding's death in no uncertain terms may be attributed to the great odreals left by a World War for master minds to solve and as a faithful warrior of peace he has paid a martyr's contribution and the supreme sacrifice of those who labor for a definite settlement of the great human problems which now confront the world.

Harding has during his administration well kept the faith in accordance with the great constitution of lofty Americanism. While critics may find evidences of a failing to in all respects measure up to the high standard of racial interest which has been manifest by former presidents in the progressive success of The Negro race on the part of the Harding Administration it cannot be doubted but that the Negro Race in America has lost an interested FRIEND keenly desirous of a steady, rational development of the race along conservative lines of economic and social spheres in all parts of the country, and it may well be believed that had the extremity been reached in problems affecting the general welfare of the Negro in America, Warren G. Harding would have met the extremity by measures well fitted to safeguard the security and integrity of the race. With the entire country, the Blackman America's most loyal citizen in the hour when sadness and gloom spreads its terrifying shadow over the horizon, again bows his head in grief at the bier of America's foremost citizen and renews his racial pledge to the great ideas and ideals of a Republic free from the petty prejudices of human passion and devoted to the greater Liberty and Freedom which was so fittingly represented by the life and work of Warren G.

The evening services were well attended and the pastor delivered a strong gospel sermon from the '1st Psalm, "The Backslider's Prayer."
