THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 18, No. 38, ROLAND HAYES RECITAL AT FISK GREAT SUCCESS (IMPRESSION OF A LAYMAN) One of the finest musical feasts ever given in Nashville, was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience, at Fisk University, on Wednesday evening, December 16th, on the occasion of the recital by Roland Hayes. They came from far and near, old and young, colored and white, walking and riding, hungry and expectant; they went away filled and satisfied; for Hayes was certainly at his best. His personality was facinating, his manner graceful, his voice charming. As he sang the first number, Mozart's Aria, "Tall e contanti soni," he seemed to drink back the sweetness which he would fain give you, and as he sang Handel's "Would You Gain The Tender-Creature?" as an encore, one could in a measure appreciate the tenderness and spirit of him who sings about that creature so sweetly. The artist was superb in his rendition of the group of songs from Schubert: "Du bist die Ruh" "Hoffnung," "Das Schen," "Der Jungling an der Quelle"—there was excitement and and calm, joy and sorrow, power and meekness. The swells were full and round and forceful, gradually shading into a tone of fine and pleasant quality. There was no monotomy in his song, but the great range of ability to express every thought, feeling and action, kept one alert to catch every change, yet, without straining on the part of the producer or listener. Hugo Wolf's "Benedeit de selge Mutter" was next, and as Hayes sang:— "I can feel the flames of passion In my bosom wildly throbbing, And of peace me wholly robbing Madness threatens me I fear!" it seemed as if every fiber of his being was on fire and ready to leap and release itself. "Murmuring Breezes" was sung as an encore, and the artist explained that this was one of his favorite songs of his early career at Fisk and one of the most loved. One could see, in imagination, the child sleeping, almost hear its soft, quiet breathing, as the guardian stood watching over its couch. This song made one feel as if he were in the midst of a perfect, sweet sleep. When he came out to sing ward's "Beloved it is Morn," Mr. Hayes gave one the impression of early morning rushing out to meet the full born day, and you were made to feel glad that day had come, as he sang, "To work, and play and pray;" then the shadows of night fall, bringing the clear crystal sweetness of the moon and stars as a reward of a life of faithful service. As Griffes' "Come, Love, Across The Sunlit Land" was sung, one could see the light fantastic dance of the water' lilies," or the sunbeams chasing across the seashore on grains of sand. The perfect execution of the artist was seen to advantage in this song, as well as in the following two: "Rose of the Night," and "The Dreamy Lake." The first with its weirdness of some ancient lore, or Arabian Knight's Tale, and the second with the quietness of sleeping waters, disturbed only by the flit of a butterfly as it lights on the bosom of a slowly moving wave. Mr. Hayes generously responded to three encores after this group of songs. One was "All Things Fail," and as these words were sung—Where is the word that once was spoken; where is the light that shone from us at dawn?" they made one feel with the Old Testament preacher that "All Is Vanity." Mr. Hayes on beginning the second encore, begged leave of the audience to turn and sing to the many who were seated in the choir loft, who could not find seats in the main auditorium of the chapel. The third encore—"Dream Song;" was striking for the mellowness with which it was produced. One was reminded of the softness and smoothness of a FISK LOCAL SEXTET BROADCAST PROGRAM Station, WSM of Nashville Gives School Opportunity Fisk University Sextet made up of students broadcast an interesting program a few evenings ago over WSM of Nashville. This broadcast station is owned and operated by the National Life and Accident Insurance Company and is situated in its new and magnificent home office building. This is the second time, since the station was opened that fall, that representatives of the school have had an opportunity to entertain America's "air audience." Telegrams of commendation were received from various parts of the country, and during the performance extra telephone girls were added to receive the great number of calls from friends who were being delighted by the singing and playing at the students. In addition to the singing of the sexet, which was the main feature of the program, several violin selections were tendered by Mr. Phillip Johnson, a student from Pensacola, Florida. He was accompanied by Mr. Warner Lawson, also a student, from Hartford, Connecticut. The members of the sextet are: Henry Franklin Wilson, Waco Texas Jackson H. Mathes, Texarkana, Ark. Edward H, Matthews, Ossing, N. Y. Leonard Franklin, Indianapolis, Ind. Merritt A. Hedgeman, N. York City James Coss Byars, Boston, Mass. 'TRAIN THE CLERGY' SAYS DR. HAYES (Columbian Press Bureau) Delving into sixty years of progress of Negroes in America, Dr. George E. Haynes, formarly Director of Negro Economics in the U. S. Department of Labor, and now Secretary of the Committee on Interracial Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, laments, the lack of training among the Negro clergy. Says Haynes, in his "Trend of the Races;" "Special mention may be made of the need of provision for training ministers. The majority of those now serving nearly 40,000 Negro churches have had very limited training. A recent estimate showed an annual need of 1,200 men, with only about 100 being prepared in existing religious-training institutions." The Negro Spirituals were executed with rare sweetness. After listening to Boatner's arrangement, "Wave in de water, and Davis, play on yo' Harp," you found yourself searching for words to express your emotions. "It's Me," arranged by Klemm, as usual, brought tears to the eyes of some; and one could verily see the battle in action and hear the noise of the falling of the wall as Mr. Hayes sang, "Joshua fit de Battle ob Jerico." An encore brought "Swing Low," and then after continued applause, with part of the audience standing and patiently waining as if they had not had enough, Mr. Hayes came back and sang a benediction, which words are too feeble and inadequate to describe or express—"The Crucifixion." The audience, even then, left reluctantly. Mr. Hayes' poise, gestures, smile and bows were all full of music and exquisite grace. He sings all over himself, from the crown of his head to the tips of his toes; and as he could from time to time, reach out it seemed he was pulling music to himself and then embracing it with the passion of an ardent lover. It was a great occasion and one long to be remembered. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 25, 1925. MERRY Christmas AND HAPPY New Year TO ALL N. A. A. C. P, BRINGS DR. AND MRS. SWEET TO NEW YORK FOR MEETING ARTHUR GARFIELD HAYS, DARROW'S ASSOCIATE, NEW YORK, Dec 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 60 Fifth Avenue, today announced that it had obtained the consent of the Michigan Courts to bring Dr. and Mrs. Ossian Sweet from Detroit to New York City for their first public address in this city at the Annual Meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. on Sunday afternoon, Januar 3, at 4 p. m., in the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Lenox Avenue and 120th Street. It was necessary to have the sanction of the Michigan Courts for Dr. and Mrs. Sweet, who are now but on bail, to leave the State. Both Dr. and Mrs. Sweet will speak at the N. A. A. C. P. Annual Mass Meeting, as will Arthur Garfield Hays, Associate, of Clarence Darrow in the Tennessee evolution trial and in the Sweet Defense in Detroit. Mr. Hays who is a liberal lawyer of national reputation, a forceful speaker and a firm friend of the Negro's cause will make the annual address. In connection with the above announcement the N. A. A. C. P., issued a warning to all who wish seats to come early as the crowds at the meeting addressed by Clarence Darrow necessitated the holding of an overflow meeting in the basement of the Church and a thousand people had to be turned away when the church had been filled. The Annual Business Meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., will be held on Monday, January 4, at the National Office, 60 Fifth Avenue, at 2 p. m., promptly. Reports will be made of the most successful year, in achievement and financially, in the Association's history. Remember Holand Hayes' Appearance in Wichita, March 6th, 1926. HOME COMING FOR MEMBERS Calvary Baptist Church is planning an excellent Home Coming Service for the first Sunday in the year. Every member and friend are expected to be present as Pastor J. W. Hayes has special message for the future welfare of his people and their friends. Come and enjoy service and get a right start for another year. 'AWAY WITH BIGOTRY' PRESIDENT COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 25—Bringing back memories of the days when Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens fought for the equality of the colored man before the law. President Coolidge's message to Congress rang with the appeal for even-handed justice for the Negro in American Government and American ideals. The text of the President's remarks concerning the Negro, in which the President described bigotry as only "another name for slavery" reads as follows: "Nearly one-tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made in all the arts of civilization in the last sixty years is almost beyond belief. Our country has no more loyal citizens. But they do still need sympathy, kindness, and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the requirements of the Government and society to deal out to them even-handed justice will be met. They should be protected from all violence and supported in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the American people. Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are striving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the crown of American citizenship. It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially, physically, morally, to incite revolution, or to violate the established customs which have long had the sanction of enlightened society. "But it does mean the full right to liberty and equality before the law with out distinction of race or creed. This condition cannot be granted to others or enjoyed by ourselves, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Bigotry is only another name for slavery. It reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed, but also those who seek to apply it. An enlarged freedom can only be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life." The Junior Choir of the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, assisted by the best local talent, rendered a very effect NEGRO PAGEANT IN NEW BEDFORD NETS $200 FOR DEFENSE FUND (N. A. A. C. P.) A Negro historical pageant written by Miss Ethel Riley Clark and performed in New Bedford, Mass.. netted $200 for the $50,000 Legal Defense Fund being raised by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. A local newspaper critic wrote of the production that: "The production was of great interest as an educational factor not only to strengthen the Negro people witnessing it in pride of of achievement and emulation of their less favored forebears, but as a face to face challenge of dignity and worth calculated to bring thoughtful recognition from the many white members of the audience." NEGRO ENTERS CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST WASHINGTON, Dec. 25—Cortez W. Peters, winner of the Underwood Typewriter Diamond medal for sustained accuracy and speed in a timed test, competed for the world's Amateur Typewriting Championship in the twentieth annual open to-all contest held in New York City, Saturday, December 12th. Mr. Peters is a graduate of the department of business practice of Dunbar High School; has won numerous medals and prizes for efficiency in typewriting; is the race pioneer in the World a Championship Typing Contest; and is only 19 years of age. Prof. J. C. Wright of Dunbar faculty taught the youthful expert to typewrite and gave him intensive coached training preparatory to entering the championship event. Mr. Wright accompanied his star pupil to the contest. Theodore P. Hines, his typing"second" and Albert P. Scott, president of the Premier Shorthand School of Washington, were also in attendance. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24- Between 300 and 350 Negro boy and girl delegates from every southern state have just closed an industrial conference at Tuskegee Institute. This marks what is hoped to become an annual session of boys and girls, who in their early years, expect to begin to consider definite "work" problems and industrial questions affecting their later lives. The spirit of friendly rivalry will be stimulated be the offering of prizes for certain industrial and agricultural produces which are to be turned out between this conference and the one to take place next year. Cantata Christmas morning at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church at 5.00 p.m. under the management of Mrs. H. T. Geeder. It was a fine interpretation of the Advent of the Savior in the world in song. Much credit is given Mrs. Geeder for splendid directing and Mrs. Etoile Ballard for the wonderful music. It will be repeated Sunday evening. COLARED BOY OF WICHITA HIGH SCHOOL AWARDED Frank Garrett, twice president of the Booker T. Washington III-Y Club has been appointed a Proctor—("Traffic Officer") in the High School. This may seem a very simple thing but it is a stamp of honor. Also, it is indicative of the trend of sentiment in the Hight School. 44 Five Cents Per Copy DETROIT SENTIMENT MOREFAVORABLE TO SWEET DETROIT SENTIMENT MOREFAVORABLE TO SWEET REPORTS PROMINENT ATTY (N. A. A. C. P. ) A prominent white Detroit attorney, whose name is with-held for obvious reasons, has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to report the sentiment in that city has swung in favor of Dr. O. H. Sweet and his associates who defended the Sweet home from a mob. The attorney writes: "From the comments which have come to me since the Sweet trial, I am satisfied that a great deal of good was accomplished. There are even compensations in the failure of the jury to agree. One man who used to live in the neighborhood of Garland and Charlevoix told me that the people of that locality have a new understanding of the right of the colored people to buy property and live in it. He states that the opinion of many others is that the case should now be nolle pressed. "On the other hand there are the die-hards who are undoubtedly using their influence to prevent Prosecutor Toms from doing any such wise thing." JUDGE EDWARD W. HENRY (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, has appointed Edward W. Henry as the successor of the late Amos M. Scott, who, at the time of his death, was Magistrate of Court No. 2, in the City of Philadelphia. Judge Henry, who is widely known throughout the country, is a prominent Elk, and for a number of years was President of the Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia, one of the largest and best known political and social-colored organizations in the United States. Mr. Henry, who is a graduate of the Howard University School of Law, has, through his independent spirit, his pleasing personality and his racial group, built up a large personal following in Philadelphia, where, through h his intelligent and constructive leadership, much can be accomplished. The Carnival Circus at the Y. W. C. A. was a success in every way, bring large crowds each night to enjoy much fun. One Hundred and Fifty Dollars were cleared for the fostering of the work. The Wich ita women really do things in a big way. Miss Vaughn is proving her efficiency as an Executive Secretary. If you are not in line you are the loser and it is a blessing just to follow such a leadership. E. B. B. Club Notes. On Wednesday afternoon, the members of the E. B. B. Club held their meeting at the home of Mrs. M. Nichols. Current Events and Quotations were given. The Scripture lesson leading on the study topic was read by Mrs Eva Woods. Mrs. J. W.

Dean of the Evening School, Bloody Bible Institute of Chicago) G. 1938, Western Newspaper Union Lesson for December 27 REVIEW—FROM ATHENS TO ROME REVIEW—From Athens to Rome REVIEW—From Athens to Rome GOLDEN TEXT—Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ— Rom 5 1 PRIMARY TOPIC—How Paul helped the Poor JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping Others by Our Gifts INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Pupil, the Missionary YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP 10—Paul the Christian The lessons of the quarter gather about Paul. The review therefore will have to do with his character, service and teachings. A good method of review is to study the salient points with the leading teachings of each lesson. The following suggestions are offered: October 4. Paul took advantage of the opportunity to preach the gospel to the Jews in the synagogue at Athens, and to such of the Gentiles and Jews as were found in the market place, calling upon all to repent because of God's appointed day of Judgment by Jesus Christ. October 11. Though compelled to work for a living while getting a foothold in Corinth Paul zealously preached the gospel even in the face of violent opposition in this time of his great need God en courageed him by giving him a vision God always comes to the help of His servants in their greatest need October 18. The Spirit's best gift is love. It is best because of its essential qualities and also because every believer can have and exercise it October 25. Paul with daintless courage preached the gospel at Ephesus, and here his preaching resulted in a glorious awakening. Where the gospel is preached in the power of the Holy Spirit men will believe in Christ and turn from their wicked ways, even giving up wrong kinds of business. November 1. The Christian has a strong enemy to fight, a personal being called the devil. He must meet him in offensive and defensive warfare (his strength and armor are from the Lord. The way to get strength to wage the conflict is by prayer to God. November 3. Paul with undaunted courage pressed on toward Jerusalem knowing that bonds and affliction awaited him. As he took leave of the Ephesian elders he warned them of the false teachers who would arise among them and insured them that he had declared the whole counsel of God. November 15. Despite Paul's earnestness to conciliate the people in Jerusalem, he was arrested. Because of his passion to preach the gospel, he witnessed to the angry mob which was striving to kill him. November 22. Though falsely accused and arraigned before the wicked governor, Paul with becoming dignity and courtesy defended himself in such a way as to win the favor of Felix. November 29. Paul defended himself before Agrippa and so wisely and confidently used the Scriptures as to almost persuade Agrippa to become a Christian December 6. Paul's behavior on the voyage and during the shipwreck displayed his sublime faith in God as well as his remarkable bravery and common sense. December 13. Upon Paul's arrival in Rome he was greatly heartened by the reception given him by the brothers who came to meet him Paul was intensely hum man. He, like his Lord, craved human fellowship. December 20. If the summary of Paul's life was the lesson used on this Sunday, the review should be the vision of the veteran soldier of the cross, near the close of his life, declaring "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith there is therefore held up for me a crown of righteousness which the flanders the righteous judge, will live to me at that day." If the Christmas lesson was used for this day, the method of review should be to picture the wise men seeking Jesus, Herod seeking to kill Him, and the finding of Jesus in Bethlehem.

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE SERVANT BY THE CAMERAMAN (Preston News Service) Due to the fact that so many of the brothers and sisters are employed as personal and domestic servants, the Race should extend a vote of thanks to Miss Violet M. Firth, (white) noted English writer and psychologist, for her latest contribution, "The Psychology of the Servant Problem," to suffering humanity, and, particularly, to the many race people, who, while occupying menial positions, are treated more like dogs than human beings. Says Miss Fith: "One-half of the labour problem can be solved by wages and hour adjustments; the remainder lies in human relationships and the needs of the human soul. Some employers make their maids so much lower than themselves, when there is not such a big difference after all. A distress does not demand of her servant work only; she also demands certain manner, a manner which shall clearly indicate her superiority and the inferiority of the woman who takes her wages. To be INFEIOR is quite a different thing from being SUBORDINATE." If culture means anything (and civilization teaches us that it does) Miss Firth has certainly expounded its virtues in her in her admonition to employers to treat their servants more like human beings. It is bad enough to work and toil to the tune of the twelve-hour day, in heat and cold, and with bulging muscles and throbbing temples, without the lashing pressure of inferiority—Inferl- The Negro Star—for the good of the people CLASSES AND PRIVATE LESSONS FOR CHILDREN ONLY Call Douglas 402-R between 9 and 10 a. m.

Miss Firth, while not trying to picture an ideal domestic world would have man and mistress put a little more of God in their relation with the humble servant world, a world of necessity and not of choice She would put less service in humanity and more humanity in service. The lesson is a good one to all employers who would match their wealth with democracy and justice—not wages and hours alone, but a quantum of peace, understanding and sympathy, together, with a sacrificing of some of the spirit of "How great am I." For not only is the servant worthy of his hire; but, too, he is worthy of his birth-right as a child of God—a birthright "scrapped" very frequently by a large percentage of American employers. By the shades of Blackstone and Kent, gentle "Portia" of the Race has been admitted to the practice of law before the Bar of Virginia. Portia's real name is Miss L. Matian Poe, who rises to prospective legal fame by having passed the rigid Virginia Bar examinations, thereby qualifying as the first colored woman to be registered as an attorney-law in the State of Virginia Miss Poe deserves heartiest congratulations; and amid these trying times, the Virginia Board of Law Examiners is to be commended for examining and passing Miss Poe upon her legal qualifications, only, without bias or regard as to race or color. The legal trail of the female bar rister has already been blazed in a number of northern states by such "brilliantas" as Miss Violette Anderson, of Chicago; Miss Whaley of New York; and Mrs. Dickerson of Philadelphia. It is believed, however, that antipathy to the female species has not infrequently acted as a barrier to the admission of colored women a attorneys in a number of southern areas. A number of bright female graduates of Howard University Law School have repeatedly failed bar examinations in various southern jurisdiction for it and it is not believed that legal scholarship was the sole factor in the failure conditions of their applications. The Virginia Board has set an example for the Southern examining and admitting Miss Poe upon her merits; and since women are determined to follow in the footsteps of their brothers, it is to be ardently hoped that more colored "Portias" will present themselves for law licenses, and that Southern boards of law examiners will brush aside prejudice, as did Virginia in the case of Miss Poe, and, after applying fitness tests, let the public judge whether Lizzie or Annie or Ophelia is entitled to a paying clientele.

WHITES SLAY COLE AT NIGHT ```markdown ``` (Preston News Service) MONTGOMERY, ALA., Dec. 21- The bullet-riddled body of Grant Cole was found Thursday morning by a white merchant, E. J. Roe, near the merchant's home, who immediately notified officers. Roe told the officers that he heard gun-shots during the night, but did not see anyone. Seven or eight empty shells were found near Cole's body. Police officials are investigating circumstances surrounding Cole's death, and it is believed that Cole was killed after an alleged insult to a white woman. It is suspected that a group of men kidnapped Cole and took him to the outskirts of the City and riddled his body with bullets and left him by the roadside where the body was found. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "death due to gun-shot wounds inflicted by unknown parties." THE KLAN AND MRS. RHINELANDER The Associated Press (white) has sent out a dispatch saying that the Klan having been led to believe that Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander is in Florida, is seeking her. The A. P. does not say for what purpose the young white millionaire's wife is being sought. Probably the Klan wants to bid her leave the sacred soil of Dixie; for of course, it would be unlawful for the colored wife of a white man to be found in any of the miscegation states of the South. It seems to us, however, that the Klan is wasting valuable energy seeking out Mrs. Rhinelander. What the Klan should do is to seek out the twenty or thirty thousand "Kip Rhine landers" of the South, and warn them to cease and desist in their nefarious ways of living. The Klan should spend the next ten years (if it lasts that long) in protecting the blood purity of both races; for during the past thirty years there have been so many "leaks" in the South that a great deal of harm has been done to both races. Where segregation is such an outstanding code among a people who insist in separate schools, churches, cars, coaches, hospitals, waiting rooms, and residential sections it ought to include blood, also. No, no, it's too late for the Klan to do anything for or against Mrs. Rhinelander.

MILLION DOLLARS FOR LOUISVILLE COLORED SCHOOLS (Commission on Interracial Cooperation) UNIVERSITY TO ESTABLISH COLORED DEPARTMENT EXTENSIVE ADDITIONS ALSO TO COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM LOUISVILLE, KY., Dec. 24—The colored school system of Louisville, will profit by more than a million dollars, providing for many improvements and extensions, as a result of two school bond issues recently voted by a majority of almost five to one. The first, an issue of one million dollars for the University, of Louisville, will provide $200,000 to establish a colored department of the University, which will be maintained by taxation as a part of the city's university system. A suitable site will be selected and a handsome building erected at once, where courses will be given in promedical training, English, modern languages, mathematics, pedagogy and the sciences. Credits and degrees in this department will be conferred by the University. From the larger bond issue of five million dollars for the improvement of the common schools, the colored people of the city will get two new junior high schools, an elementary school, the transfer of three school from the white to the colored department, and the enlargement of two others. The building program involved will run to $800,000 or more, and the three schools to be transferred will carry the total beyond million dollars.

I am specializing in church development thru music and of all the song books I have ever used or seen, I am more impressed with these two books published by the S. S. Pub. Bd. I am making a special effort to help the Board put these books into all-the churches in the country.

To see the picture of the old folks gathered around their breakfast table and to hear their prayer of thanks, is indeed payment in gratitude for that which is being done for them. This home, and the Rescue Mission of which W. W. Billings is superintendent, are both beneficiaries under the Community fund, and are maintained exclusively for Negroes who are unable to take care of themselves, or are out of work.

THE RETURN OF THE HERO After winning some of the highest honors to be had in the field of sports, De Hart Hubbard, Olympic Champion, has decided to return to Cincinnati and serve the Y. M. C. A. which he attended as a high school boy. Hubbard, the colored star of the University of Michigan, who last June broke the World's record for the Board Jump with a leap of 25 feet, 10 7-8 inches, four inches better than any previous record, has been appointed junior secretary of the Ninth Street Branch of the Cincinnati Association. He will spend his time organizing boys' clubs in the Walnut Hill section, where he was reared, and in promoting Pioneer and Comrade clubs among Negro churches. Hubbard attended the Walnut Hill School, and was graduated in 1921 with higher scholastic honors. He an Emquirer scholarship and attended the University of Michigan, where he ranked high in his studies as well as athletics. He has held the intercollegiate championship for the 100-yard dash and, as a member of the American team at the Olympic Games in 1924, he won the broad jump, although Legendre, of Kentucky, has since established a new broad jump record in the Pentahlon. "Many people have wondered at my return to Cincinnati when it offers so small an opportunity in a business and financial way," said Hubbard. "My duty is right here in this city. I think I know many of the problems facing our race here. If I can make the youth of Cincinnati just a little better through my efforts in their behalf, I will feel amply repaid for my sacrifice of more promising financial returns elsewhere."
