This work has been growing steadily to the credit of this physician.
"The latest outgrowth of this idea of selecting Negroes to carry on this tuberculosis work among their own race has been the forming by the Philadelphia Committee of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, of an advisory committee composed of Negroes. It is the purpose of this committee to draw up a program of work calculated to bring about a greater degree of good than could be brought about with equal effort by each one working separately. It is felt that the success of this last movement here in Philadelphia will be far-reaching by showing those in tuberculosis work throughout the country what can be accomplished by following a plan which is merely logical. There is no doubt of the success of these efforts, in my mind, when made along lines broad enough to solve the problem."
PLANS OUTLINED FOR
NEW JERSEY LABOR
(Special to The New York Acc)
JASSEY CITY, N. J. - In response to a call issued by W. W. Ashley, supervisor of NEGRO ECONOMICS, a number of interested persons gathered at the post of oice to hear the U. S. Department of Labor's plan for the Negro during the period of reconstruction. It is planned where such organizations as Negro Welfare Leagues exist to function through them, and where there is no such ability to organize so as to have in each community where there is much labor, a Negro Worker's Advisory Committee to cooperate with the Department of Labor.
Stephen Regan, in charge of the local U. S. Employment Bureau, was present and made several practical suggestions. Special attention is to be given securing employment for the disabled, olders and sailors.
cers and 1855 men. Later order includes medical detachment and second battalion complete, 22 officers and 683 men.
This welcome announcement was made the first of the week through the office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, and will prove gratifying to many of the anxious ones at home, who have been awaiting the return of their soldier boys. It will be noted, however, that no definite date has been set for the departure of the convoys and that only parts of the various regiments have been selected to be relieved.

Bethel Literary Discusses Proposed Discontinuance of School at Howard.
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The general tendency in the public school policy of the States where the Negro population is most dense has for many years been to narrow such education as much as possible into the primary grade courses and to industrial education in such institutions as the States give entire or partial support. Very few Southern States maintain adequate high schools for their Negro citizens, who after going through such grades of instruction as the public schools afford, are compelled, if they desire to have a collegiate training, to incur the added expense of time and money in securing the necessary preparation where they can. This is an unnecessary and burdensome hardship, not imposed upon the white patrons of the public schools, who have besides, all over the country, academics where such secondary education can be obtained. Negroes have not as yet become strong enough to support such private institutions. Most of them now obtain it at our colleges, which maintain departments for secondary educational preparation. Without them our colleges would not, for the most part, in the past, have been able to secure the student bodies necessary to supply their college courses.
The general tendency to restrict Negro education has been noticeable for a long time in the policies of the state land and the various boards controlling fund, for purposes of Negro education. Recently the new president of Howard University, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, it was alleged, favored the discontinuance of the school for secondary training of the university; it being understood that a like course was in contemplation by the trustees of other Negro colleges throughout the country the present being that such schools hampered the proper development of the university proper. Another reason advanced from other sources is that colleges and universities maintaining the secondary schools are not allowed in their teacher body to share in the retirement fund of the Carnegie endowment.
The interest in the matter grew so strong and insistent in Washington that A. S. Pinkett president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, devised to set apart an evening for a fair presentation of the question. He selected certain educators qualified to speak with authority on the subject and asked T. Thomas Fortune to prepare the resolution for discussion. He drew the following:
"Resolved, that it is the opinion of the patrons of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, after a fair and open discussion of the subject, that the discontinuance of the secondary education at Howard University, and at our other school, of collegiate standing, maintained for the higher education of Negro youth, would be a grave mistake and prejudicial to the last degree to the higher educational interests of the Negro people."
"In submitting the resolution for discussion, President Pinkett said: 'This meeting was conceived in a desire to render a service to those who are entrusted with the responsibility of preserving to its mission the greatest institution for higher education now maintained for colored youth. We can but believe that those upon whom this re-

FELLOWS' BUILDING
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The Odd Fellows Building, corner 12th and Spruce streets, is being guarded by policemen. There are now two sets of grand officers: one set claim to have been formally elected at a regular B. M. C. held in New York City last fall; the other set are the regular officers now in control, with Morris at the head. Right of admission being denied the first set, they immediately sought redress in the courts. Eminent counsel has been engaged on both sides and the outcome is awaited with much interest.
WORK OF THE NAVY SEEN FROM OIL TANK AND MINE SWEEPER
Machinists, Gunner's Mates, Electricians, Stewards, Cooks and Other Trades Represented.
It was very queer indeed for me to spend Christmas and New Year's on the Atlantic, but the greatest pleasure that was in store for us was our safe arrival back in the dear old U. S. A. last week. Our ship, a mine-sweeper and oil tank, has been under the immediate direction of the British Admiralty during the past screen months. This peculiar line of duty has enabled us to serve in more different seaports than any other single American ship. Being entirely out of Uncle Sam's jurisdiction we were forced to undergo many more hardships and perilous experiences at the hands of the British. Our last and most important duty was in connection with the interment of the German fleet in Scapa Flow, a powerful naval base of the Okeyne Islands of the North Sea in November. Soon afterwards we received our "homeward-bound" orders at Liverpool, leaving there December 12. We proceeded to the Azore Islands with a cargo of oil, where we fueled a number of American torpedo destroyers which were homeward bound as well. While there I received many copies of our leading race weeklies, in addition to New York Ace, which I
I was very glad to read, carefully. I have noticed that very little or no attention has been paid to the valiant service rendered by our boys in the U.S. Navy. It is needless to remind one of the remarkable success of our Navy in the suppression of the submarine menace. The torpedo destroyers did the work. They were the means of the safe transport of our soldiers overseas without the loss of a single ship. Are you aware that our boys are among the personnel that make the crew of these powerful sea vessels? There were about 200 destroyers based out of Queenstown, Ireland and Paris, France, and hundreds of New boys have given faithful, nutritive care. (Continued on Second Page)

Pascal, France, Dec. 18.—Mrs. Lewis A. Mitchell, well known in the States as the daughter of the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church, Washington, D.C., entertained most delightfully with a six-chick dinner today in honor of her husband's thirty-fourth birthday anniversary in their pretty apartments in the Rochelle Clichy, Capt. Charles W. Fill, Lt. Colonel McHarris and Ralph W. Tyler were the Americans present. After the dinner the entire party was invited to spend the remainder of the cyping as the guests of Madame and Monsieur De Castro at their magnificent apartments in the Avenue Victor Hugo.
Here was an instance showing the cosmopolitan phase of Parisian life. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are Americans, formerly of Washington and New York, but now adopted Parisians. Mme. Castro is, French, while Monsieur Castro is an Argentinian by birth, but long a resident of Paris, being a big importer. Mme. Pinzo, who was present, is a Parisienne, while her husband, Monsieur Pinzo, is a native of Santo Domingo, but an importer now in Paris. Mr. Jones, who was present and entertained the company, with some marvelous dancing, was a former Chicago boy. He has been living abroad for eighteen years, and is today regarded as Paris's premier dancer, capacity houses being the rule at every performance at the theater where he now has an engagement. All of the ladies, save Mrs. Mitchell, were native French women, and all the men, save the Americans, were white, but there was nothing in the cordial social necessary and burdensome hardship, not public schools, who have besides, all This is the rule in France, for neither France's social, business or civil fabric is built upon color or race distinctions.
SIGNALLY HONOR MOTON IN FRANCE; REQUESTED TO RETURN, IT IS REPORTED
In order to be present at the famous annual Tuskegee Farmers' Conference, which is a big event in the Southland, Dr. R. R. Moton, who has just returned from France on a special mission, found it necessary to decline the invitation extended by American diplomats to remain in Paris and participate further in the preliminary and formal deliberations of the Peace Conference. It is understood, however, that he has been officially asked to return to France in connection with the Peace Conference as early as possible.
SOLDIERS DEVELOP BACKBONE AND NERVE
Ina letter recently received from Lieut. Chas. A. Shaw, Headquarters 92nd Division, dated Dec. 8, 1918, the writer tells how he played the part of Paul Revere in carrying the news of the signing of the armistice to the trenches. He also notes the development of the Negro soldiers into the full possession of backbone and nerve. His letter follows:
"I was over in Germany a few days ago, where I went on a pleasure and sightseeing trip. I visited the city of Metz, that is known as the greatest fortified city in Europe. It is a wonderful place, and I had some very interesting experiences while there. I have been over the entire extent of France, as I traveled everywhere by automobile with the assistant chief of staff, and we had some great trips together. This game has been one of the greatest experiences that I have ever had, and will never forget these six months over here.
The armistice found us engaged in the greatest battle on the front at that time. We went into battle in front of Metz on November 9, and was giving the Huns hell from that time until 11 a.m. November 11. The 92nd really fought gloriously and gallantly. I had two of my great friends to fall in the battle. Lieuts. Rush and Canada.
"At 9 a.m. on the 11th I had to die the Paul Revere act, as our transportation was in arm of the heavy work during the battle, and I you should have seen me on a prancing steed speeding over hill and dale, getting the wrist to the trooper, that the armature had been cut. So that I had the hour of stopping the war as far as the 92nd was conceived.
"But these men were better and fought like veterans. Of course many died in the fight but they died with their faces towards the enemy, and showed that they had the 'guts' and when they get back home some others over there will still see that they still have 'guts' and that the ignorant, cripping, cowed Negro has been changed in the first year, to a man possessing backbone and heart. If nothing else has been accomplished by this war for the colored man, I feel that this one thing is sufficient."
SCRANTON MAYOR GIVES
RACE REPRESENTATION
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE)
SORANTON, P.A.-Mayor Alex T. Connell appointed, a general entertainment committee for the soldiers, which consisted of representatives of all the different peoples in this city except the Negro. T. E. Howes, G. W. Brown and L. E. Morton, three leading Negro citizens, had an audience with Mr. Connell, and asked that he appoint members of their race on the general committee. The mayor sought his way out by saying, he was going to have a sub-committee. The delegation put before him the part our boys have played in the great war, also what the race has done here at home and for these reasons demanded membership on the general committee. At their suggestion, Mayor Connell appointed the following, the Rev. Joseph M. Evans, Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev. Firman W. Means of the Pine-Street Baptist Church, Thomas E. Howes, Geo. W. Brown, L. E. Morton, Medames Pattie Patterson, Cassie Jenkins and Margaret Myers.
During his stay in the French capital Dr. Moton's advice with reference to the disposition of Germany's African Colonies and other matters affecting the darker races was eagerly sought by noted Americans and French. He was in consultation on several occasions with Col. E. M. House, President Wilson's close personal friend and member of the American Peace Commission. It was because of the excellent impression made by the head of Tuskegee Institute on the various diplomats that the request was made for him to remain and serve as an accredited representative of the United States Government.
While fully appreciating the honor, Principal Moton felt it was imperative to return to America and keep important engagements in connection with Tuskegee and also matters dealing with local problems of no minor significance. While realizing that a high compliment has been paid him he did not for once lose sight of the fact that his immediate presence was desired at home, particularly in the Southland.
Work of Only Colored Signal Corps Unit Told by Tyler
In a letter dated at La'Mans, France, he tells of the laurels won by the 325th Field Signal Battalion, the only signal unit composed of colored troops in the American Army, which exhibited rare courage and skill under fire. Many officers and men of the Eighth Illinois were recommended for the Croix de Guerre. The letter follows:

Through the American Ambassador at London arrangements had been made for Dr. Moton to meet Lloyd George, but the conference was not held owing to the distinctions' educator's hasty departure for Liverpool to catch the steamer Canada of the White Star line, which reached Boston harbor late Monday. Dr. Moton was accompanied on his return trip by Nathan Hunt, his traveling secretary, and Lloyd New York. An representative. The three were the only passengers on the ship, the other passengers, fifteen hundred in number, being army and naval officers and enlisted men.
On account of high seas, the progress of the Canada was greatly impeded and the steamer arrived in port far behind schedule. Dr. Moton was prevented from attending the opening exercise of the liner's' Conference, but managed to reach Tuskegee in time for the final sessions.

He was a raised unionist confederate never before enveloped by an American Negro in private life, long letters from Secretary Baker to General Bering and other high American Army officials, he was re-raised with most respectful consideration and care. While in France Dr. Minton counted thousands of colored soldiers from America and gave worlds of encouragement.

One of the units of the American army to arrive here enroute for embarkation to America that has made good, without having the glamour and spectacular settings of combat is the 325th Field Signal Battalion of the 92nd Army Division, the only colored signal unit in the American army. While this battalion has not had to occupy frontline trenches, make raids for prisoners, or march in battle formation into big engagements, it must not be supposed that it did not have a dangerous, and a very dangerous, duty to perform. The boys of this battalion had to string the
Bureau of Education; Lester A. Walton, managing editor of THE AGE; Clive R Miller of the Cleveland Plaindealer and Nathan Hunt were members of the Moton party, which was accompanied by a military escort much of the time. Throughout the entire trip the leading hotels and restaurants were thrown open to the visitors.
In his talks to the colored soldiers Dr Moton assured them of a warm welcome upon their return to the United States and told them that colored and white people would enthusiastically receive them in all sections. The men were advised to come back home as heroes should whether they be white of Mack—in a manly, yet modest and unassuming manner.
He stressed the importance of the colored soldier properly deporting himself, declaring that his conduct would have much to do with the establishment of friendlier relations between the races, at least south of the Mason and Dixon line.
Dr Moton and party were highly entertained by officials in high command and on several occasions by non-comissioned officers while on the trip. Numerous talks were held with army officers relative to the part played in the world war by the American Negro. The opinion expressed in every instance was that the race has added new laurels to its already brilliant record as writers.

This battalion is composed of all young colored men, save the lieutenant-colonel, major, and two or three white line officers. They are all, with few exceptions, college or high school boys, not a few of them experts in radio and electric engineering, and those who were not experts in the work when the bat-

Paris for Italy, the communication referred, incidentally, to the fine record the colored soldier from America made in the war.
The Motto goes on the on the automobile trip to Strasburg, Metz, Colmar and other important towns in Alsace and Lorraine, which were under the dominance of Germany prior to the signing of the consentive. By special permission of the French the visitors were permitted to cross the Rhine at Strasburg, going over the bridge connecting Strasburg and Kehl. Rheims, Avodin, Chateau-Thiery and other scenes of conflict were visited.
On the Canada De Moton was asked to address the officers and men on several occasions, and despite his frankness on the issue of problem in America made a distinction with the soldiers, Northernmen and Southerners. He was easily the most popular passenger on board. The vast Americans were told that the troops had come when they must be faced with people, that the defeat of the enemy hawed exclusively that no race was served that is unjust and selfish in treating and assumes that it has to be automatic and overly the test of mankind.

APPROPRIATION FOR BORDENTOWN SCHOOL
(Special to The New York Am.)
BORNSTOWN, N. J. In the Governors' budget recommendations to the legislature $118,975 was appropriated or the Bordentown School for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1919. This amount includes maintenance and permanent improvements. Among the permanent improvements allowed were included $20,000 for an addition to the new boys' trade building, $15,000 for water supply, and fire protection, $3,500 for the purchase of adjoining land, $8,500 for temporary housing of the boys resulting from the overcrowding of the boys' dormitory.
It is hoped that the Legislature will see its way clear to appropriate in addition to the amount recommended by the governor at least $65,000 more for a new and permanent boys' dormitory. An annex to the girls' building is being completed and will probably be occupied about April 1. The school has outgrown its accommodations for boys as well as for girls, 81 boys occupying a building built for only 42 boys. In spite of the many difficulties encountered because of its being a war year, the attendance of both boys and girls has been record-breaking. The school already has a large waiting list of both boys and girls and many are applying now to enter next year.

WORK OF THE NAVY
SEEN FROM OIL TANK
we in manning these ships. I have visited these parts and met scores of these boys who have been overseas since the beginning of the war, and have seen some of the toughest service experienced anywhere. The life in the trenches is nothing compared with a fourth mountainous sea full of German U-boats. Many have wonderful experiences to relate, and have on their records various commendations for bravery and dexotion to duty. They hold positions as stewards, cooks, mess attendants, machinist's mates, gunner's mates, electricians and various other trades, all of which require great skill at sea as well as bravery. Many of these boys have arrived in the different seaports along the Atlantic Coast very recently, who have survived submarine attacks almost daily, and deserve some mention of their heroic work.
Stevedores in Race to Berlin.
Although a Navy man, I have taken particular notice of the boys in the Army while in various parts. The Stewardete Regiments have gained much praise in France by their splendid work in the "Race to Berlin." Just before the armistice, the American Expeditionary Force began what is known as the Stewardete's grail, to edit unbending "Race to Berlin," a means of rushing ahead equipment and upgrades to the front. The majority of the American New York from Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia, Execs. support us and we in the French coast, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, tart off to buy them they were the world's largest hunters. The French government appointed of their remarkable work. The Navy works drive, Marseilles and Bordeaux, let the race followed, Belfast to Hayre, Nurembo, St Nazary, La Pallice and Pres.
Very recently the Star and Stripes published a newspaper of the A. E. F. published at Parry, highly commended the work of the stevelerates of St Naize (all colored) in breaking the previous record of handling freight (for one day), having unhitable 12,377 tons. It states further that thousands and Negro steveleres turned out for a big song-fest and rally in behalf of the contest at St Naize and heard encouraging speeches of praise and adoration by their Else Commander, Col. G. E. Sewell, and his aide Lent, Geoff B. Cortelyou, Jr., who wished them success in winning the "Race to Berlin". The steveleres have pledged themselves to eat to meals for one whole day, if they did not win the race. Judging from their appetites, worked one of their officers, they just must win. This is typical of the way the colored Jews feel about the "Race to Berlin."
A very inspiring article entitled "Brothers" appeared in the "Stars and Stripes," by Ralph W. Tyler, which should be republished in every race outer in the United States.

THE COUNTRY GOES DRY.
When the Legislature of Nebraska ratified the Prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution on Jan. 10, the United States as a nation registered its decision against the use of liquor as a beverage. The amendment will not be effective, however, until one year after the formal notice of ratification receives the Secretary of State, Nebraska, was the thirty-sixth state to vote for ratification, thus giving the necessary three-fourths vote. Since then several other Legislatures have voted in favor of the amendment and it is expected that nearly all of the forty-eight states will ratify the same
All the forces that have worked for Prohibition are using over their victory, including such organizations as the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Sons of Temperance, the Indian Brother or
of Good Templars and the Total Mournence Brotherhood. The temperance movement in America dates back to 1851, when a law on stock and theft, the Maine Prohibition law, James Wattard was the founder of the W. C. T. C., while other women workers were Mary Elizabeth Lance, Mary Lavender and Cattie Nation. John B. Gough was famous as a lighter of the liquor habit, while Sam Jones and Billy Sunday have both proclaimed against it.
With Prohibition in the constitution, the next step will be to make it effective, and further legislation will be necessary toward this end. A stop will have to be put to the making of "moonshine" whiskey, which has been so common in the southern states. Then a ban must be put on the various patent medicines that consist largely of alcohol and have hitherto moistened the ability of local prohibition territory. There must also be taken to prevent the adoption of drug stimulants as a substitute for alcohol. The putting into effect of national prohibition is going to be an anxious task, requiring tacit and vigilance on the part of those entrusted with the enforcement of the law. The establishment of the liquor trade is a great nature of the United States is in the nature of government; while the results on the whole should be based on the uproading of the habit of a life-taste that be be established without some friction. A great deal depends upon how grim the conditions will prove. Whether it is merely a flush of purified hypnosis on a deep-seated revolt against the evils cropping out of the liquor traffic and saloon talk of the great cities. Time will show.
FRANKLIN'S BIRTHDAY
The birthday of Benjamin Franklin, the Quaker statesman and the American apostle of thrift Jan. 17, was appropriately selected to open the campaign for the sale of two billion dollars worth of War Savings Stamps for 1919. The campaign was opened by a wireless telephone conversation between a huge naval dirigible airship and Director, Guy Emerson on the roof of the Equitable building. The new War Savings stamps are somewhat smaller in size than the 1918 issue, are blue in color and carry the portrait of Franklin.
They cost $4.12 in January and one cent additional each month throughout the year. On January 1, 1924, the Government will pay the holder of each stamp $5.00, representing interest at 4 per cent compounded quarterly. New cards are necessary for the issue of 1919. The thrift stamps remain the same and can be exchanged for the new War Savings stamps on the same basis as last year. Both kinds of stamps make the saving of small amounts an easy task, free from red tape and as safe as a Government bond. Everybody should take advantage of this method of saving and help the Government at the same time.
The practice of Thrift is the Road to Prosperity.
THE PURSUIT OF HOBBIES
In speaking of the Negro with a hollow, the Negro is a race susceptible to vast improvement and great intelligence. He has proved his determination, but his desires display a major part of his intellect devoted to more pleasures, oftimes wandering astray and intolerable in terms of chance. Less consideration is given to the scientific viewpoint of the Negro. Where inspiration has found its way for enlightenment to the Negro who desires to qualify for the hollow, that is benefited and instructed, his opportunities are greater. Local advantages of the Negro with that in the circumstances are less obvious.
We were at it, for ever that one was to do the subject I had met in the city of the United Kingdom. I was the artist, has been to the city of the United Kingdom. I was a crack to combine and receive the satisfaction who it is reith by following patterns, attacks of interest, and the Nef on the attached name. I could start a subsequent, small one. So few is the number of these hills cracks that it makes of the positions of a mewhat of the whole area who would be the same as the better, let me know that it is the best way to start of the time that is the time I will go to the table. When we have jotted one study with arms and embrought of past ages, with a touch of magnificent specimens of the time for national kingdoms, we are the only one I have to do. Nef with a history. A study that is so far the human world and the world is the best way to do.
Mr. Reamer's suggestions while
somewhat ambitions in the way of
intrigue, are not without use, in and
could be applauded with ady image by
those who find time lagging on
our hands for lack of some interest
outside of the daily in-living
patterns. But we know of individual
of the race who have for
many years quietly ridden them in
operative habits, after the day's
tools were over. One lawyer is a
member of a national society
and gloves over a collection of coins
and medals, representing various
nations and historical events. Others
are collections of trace literature
and productions of port, brush and
of the fine arts.
With a heart in the air, the old
tissue of material rests in lightheart
the house, and the new tide is
to amatee carpeting, or mather-
ing of one sort or another in the
technical life. Here the term of
vintage stamp and antiquities is
so common as to hardly around
comment, and yet both have their
value as an expansion of the mental horizon.
If the collector or amateur rode
his hobby, but in moderation, not to
the neglect of more important matters, nor to the annoyance, of his
matter of fact neighbor who has
no hobby to ride.
Last week it was announced that Mrs. Ellen A. O'Grady, fifty deputy commissioner of police of New York City, had declared war on the "shimmy" dance. Her staff of seventy-three assistants were instructed to put a stop to the "shrugging indecency" in every public dance hall in the city. THE AGE called attention to the vicious character of the "shim-me-sha-wabble" some months ago and urged mothers to warn their daughters against it. Perhaps now that the police have put it under the ban the warning may be heeded.
A COMPARISON OF LYNCHINGS.
American press has been making a great coming, as reported, of Karl Liebknecht and Rudolf Spartacic movement in Germany. These comments does not express either any here is expressed rather a feeling of satisfaction of these two agitators indicate that the day Germany has definitely passed away.
These comments as they related to the interruption of lynch law on the streets of Berlin certain to the intense horror which the Spartacist himself. German editors have long been in touch with law in America as conclusive evidence that the plane then theirs; yet now we have Germany and more cultivated sections of Berlin turning.
The killing of Rosa Luxemburg by a man and brutal as it might have been, cannot be the same class with the lynchings of women. Germany is in a state of revolution; in fact, one is expected that it will go through that violence and bloodshed. The civil law is in physical force are in its place, factions be are striving to impose their will by way of command, so the taking of human life outlaw is something to be expected rather than that about American lynchings of women? Places when and where all of the normal courts are functioning. There is not a sham made for them.
The case of the last lynching of women in course, colored women. No, not women, one of them about sixteen and the other are. They were accused of complicity in the man. Two other victims were lynched at the charge: they were young colored men. All four were strung from the girder of a report of this lynching as given in one newspaper in the state where the crime to the younger girl was about to become a bet between the lines one was able to interfere was killed was the father of the unborn by the young men in the case had evidently followed down by southern gentlemen for the conditions.
It happened in the state of Mississippi; a man enacted by white men, are interpreted by white men. The sheriffs are white, the judges are white, and the jury would have declare life shall not be taken except by death, and all these officers are sworn to uphold process of law on a charge of murder in imprisonment, a fair and impartial trial be peers, conviction, with the right of appeal if found guilty.
These laws and all of these agencies for carry operation in the state of Mississippi when girls occurred.
Still make the painful and humiliating coof the lynching of Rosa Luxemburg with in the United States still leaves Germany the practice of discussing American lynchers.
The American press has been making a great deal of comment on the killing, as reported, of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, the leaders of the Spartacide movement in Germany. The general tone of these comments does not express either any great horror or sorrow; there is expressed rather a feeling of satisfaction that the violent end of these two agitators indicate that the danger of Bolshevism in Germany has definitely passed away.
In these comments as they related to the internal political condition of Germany, we were, of course, interested. We were interested in them as are millions of other Americans who want to get all the light they can on what is going on in Europe. But we were particularly interested in an editorial comment made by one of the leading New York daily newspapers. The part of this editorial which caught our particular interest was the following paragraph:
This case of lynch law on the streets of Berlin certainly bears striking witness to the intense horror which the Spartacans have evoked against themselves. German editors have long been in the habit of discussing lynch law in America as conclusive evidence that our civilization is on a lower plane than theirs; yet now we have Germans in one of the wealthier and more cultivated sections of Berlin turning out to lynch a woman.
Now, the killing of Rosa Luxemburg by a mob or crowd, as deplorable and brutal as it might have been, cannot in any way be placed in the same class with the lynchings of women in the United States. Germany is in a state of revolution; in fact, of civil war; and it cannot be expected that it will go through that state without deeds of violence and bloodshed. The civil law is in suspense, martial law and physical force are in its place, factions bitterly opposed to each other are striving to impose their will by whatever means they can command; so the taking of human life outside of the due process of law is something to be expected rather than wondered at.
But what about American lynchings of women? They occur at times and in places when and where all of the normal processes of the law and the courts are functioning. There is not a shadow of excuse that can be made for them.
Take the case of the last lynching of women in this country. They were, of course, colored women. No, not women, mere girls. Two sisters, one of them about sixteen and the other about nineteen years of age. They were accused of complicity in the murder of a white physician. Two other victims were lynched at the same time on the same charge; they were young colored men in their early twenties. All four were strung from the girder of an iron bridge. From the report of this lynching as given in one of the leading white daily papers in the state where the crime took place we learned that the younger girl was about to become a mother. And by reading in between the lines one was able to infer that the white man who was killed was the father of the unborn baby that was lynched. The young men in the case had evidently followed out the course of action laid down by southern gentlemen for their guidance under such conditions.
All of this happened in the state of Mississippi; a state in which the laws are enacted by white men, are interpreted by white men, and executed by white men. The sheriffs are white, the jailers are white, the judges are white, and the jury would have been white. These laws declare life shall not be taken except by due process of established law, and all these officers are sworn to uphold and enforce them. Due process of law on a charge of murder in Mississippi means arrest, imprisonment, a fair and impartial trial before a jury of the defendant's peers, conviction, with the right of appeal, sentence and execution, if found guilty.
All of these laws and all of these agencies for carrying them out were in full operation in the state of Mississippi when this lynching of two colored girls occurred.
We must still make the painful and humiliating confession that a comparison of the lynching of Rosa Luxemburg with the lynchings of women in the United States still leaves German editors free to indulge in the practice of discussing American lynch law in their habitual manner.

PROHIBITION ON BROADWAY

Some of the bacchanalian devotees are catching at are building hogs on tests of the constitution, an opinion that the amendment has a "job to work. But the great majority are righs. They do not be a single mirage notion that stretches out before them. It sorts of wars going up "the bacchaead equisitorial officiousness of the uplifters."
The country has gone dry constitutionally, and there is sadness and deep gloom in the ranks of the labiasts. Some of the more optimistic among the bacchanalian devotees are catching at elusive rays of light. They are building hopes on tests of the constitutionality of the law, a moon optimus that the amendment has a "joker" in it and cannot be made to work. But the great majority are not lured by any such tant rhapsms. They do not be a single mirage in the great desert of prohibition that stretches out before them.
There are all sorts of wars going up: the boneheadedness of the people; "the inquisitorial officiousness of the uplifters;" "the cleverness of the capitalists in putting prohibition over in order to increase efficiency; that is, to get more work out of the working classes."
But of all the wails that have reached our ears, the most dolorous is the which comes from Mr. John McK. Bowman, president of the Bowman-Kerr-Morgan Hotels Corporation. Mr. Bowman asserts that the enforcement of prohibition will rob New York of its enormous transient trade, cut down 35 per cent of the profit of Fifth Avenue shops, close countless hotels and restaurants, and (most wonderful picture of all) turn Broadway into an ordinary "Main Street" such as is possessed by every ordinary western town.
Mr. Bowman states the dreadful fate awaiting New York in the following words:
"If drink is taken out of New York the pulse of the city is gone.
'Why do you suppose people come to New York? To have a good time. That is why—to go to places where they can have a few drinks and dance and enjoy themselves. Take away the drinks and they will stay away. You can bet they will be able to get drinks in their own home.'
"No matter what you do, people are going to drink. They drank in ambient days and they are going to continue to do so. Instead of taking a cocktail openly, people will be drinking behind closed blinds. Closed blinds bring association with people who work secretly and in deception—the worst elements in society.
"What makes me sore is that I feel that the rights of citizens have been violated."
This is a prediction fearful to contemplate, but we do not believe it will cause the people of New York very much worry. There are very few citizens of this great city who do not believe that its
prosperity is based on something more than the money spent by the people who come here to get a drink.
His whole statement is an example of the proneness of a man to look around in his own little world and think he is taking in the whole universe. Mr. Bowman spends his life in the atmosphere of the big hotels of New York. He sees the people who come to New York for a good time; he sees them spending large sums of money for pleasure, eating and drinking; he sees them striving in all sorts of ways to get rid of all the money they brought with them and more besides; and Mr. Bowman grows to think that it is only for these reasons that people come to New York at all; what the other two hundred thousand or so come for he does not consider.
National prohibition is a fact. Whether the results will justify it or not we do not know. But we feel reasonable sure of this: the drinking crowds in the New York hotels may vanish, but the hotels will continue to be filled nevertheless, and the old town will go on much about the same as usual.
"THE SOUL OF A LYNCHER."
We have received a great many letters regarding the communication from one A. B. Smith of Abbeville, S. C., which was printed in these columns two weeks ago. Some of these letters have come from white people, and a large number from colored people. Naturally, the colored people who write are highly indignant at Smith and want us to pitch into him with both hands and feet.
We must admit that we are at a disadvantage in such a contest. We can not make it possible to get down to Smith's level. We cannot help but feel that it is a waste of time and effort to use reason with such an ignorant, brutish creature in the guise of a human being as Smith shows himself to be.
We see but one way to conduct an argument with Smith, and that would be to find some Negro who was equally as ignorant and brutish (a very difficult thing to do) to carry on the argument with him.
Smith is a good type of the Southern mob bully. And like all mob bullies he is a coward. He talks about "lamming somebody side the jaw"; we know that he would not pick out any colored man of fair size in Abberville to "lam side the jaw" unless he felt sure that he had a crowd of mob bullies at his back.
Smith's letter was published not for any effect its publication might have on Smith nor as a subject for controversy with Smith; in fact, Smith as Smith did not enter into the matter. The letter was published to show Smith as a class. Smith as an individual amounts to nothing. As an individual he counts for very little even in darkest South Carolina. But Smith as a class is an important factor in the South and the entire country. He is an obstacle, a danger, a menace to law and order, to justice, to democracy. It is the Smiths that make the race problem what it is.
Any decent Southern white man who reads Smith's letter can see and understand at once that not only the just settlement of the race problem and the welfare of the Negro, but the very civilization of the South depend upon getting rid of the Smiths.
It might be said that decent Southern white people do not think and act like Smith. Of course, they couldn't do it and be decent; but, nevertheless, the Smiths to a very large degree dominate the South and Southern opinion. It, for instance, the Smiths did not dominate public opinion in Wheville the brutal lynching of Anthony Rawlford would never have taken place, and even if it had been found impossible to prevent the lynching, the perpetrators of the crime, who were well known, would not have been allowed to go scot-free.
The great problem before the South, in order to make that section a land of progress, of law and order, of common justice and real civilization, is to get rid of the Smiths.
NATION'S PLATFORM AT
PEACE CONFERENCE
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE
A reader of your paper I have
from the press pleased to inform the
vice-president of the American
appearing under
News, and Finance. I especially a re-
view of the Press Letter and I venture
my way of comment, to instigate an oppo-
pose view to certain ones there expe-
rived. Your Contributing Editor ex-
pressed to the timing of various colloquial
regulations to the press to comment and
alleges that the latter is intrude on real
events and in the press. Find the Negro
problem in the United States is a national
and that it is being to be settled at
and the press hopes to convince.
Possibly the problem
with the press is that it is not at
the time of publication, the bill will be
at the time of publication, the bill will be
consulted the President who heads the moral
delegation from the United States On
Wilson's behalf a joint session
was convened at the White House.
"Our object now, as then, is to secure the freedom of the people and justice in the life of the world as against the oppression of the state and the oppression of the people with a common purpose and action as will lead to the advancement of the humanity of the people. But the right to more freedom and we shall right for the times when we have always carried nearest our hearts, for the duties of the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal domination of right by sofit a concept of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free."
Thus the President announces this nation's platform at the peace conference and he cannot avoid the responsibility. He has declared the cause of injustice, everywhere, a proper subject for consideration, in words clear and emphatic as those of the Constitution which your writer refers to in setting forth the colored man's citizenship. It is not for us to pre-judge the action of the conference, but rather to urge that the American delegation live up to the preachments of its leader, "I'll try" is the motto given to ambitious south and worthy of mature manhood. If the colored delegates cannot enter the conference let them go as far as possible, and no presumption of defeat should discourage the effort. Certainly, a goodly number of our race, appealing to the powers for simple justice, will make a lasting impression. Then, too, it is not beyond the realm of hope that some nation may champion our cause.
To finally, it may not be a neighbor's business as concerns a parent's treatment of a child but, if that child is abused, he soon makes it his business, and rightly so. France will never forcibly throw off a loved American soldier who deterred her so much, many of whom wear her cross of honor. We, perhaps, worry unnecessarily about the small sum of money which race-loyal men and women are giving to this cause. Our fraternal organizations expend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in annual conventions, many of which are in our interest. Interest, as a rule, covers in a grand scramble for office, till weed by a good time, and very little information benefit results for the poor. Yet we witness this ridiculous practice without complaint. It is admitted that within stations, we too have had to introduce the invaluable aid of those who prefer to choose their own good time, to the extent that we must sow that coming

EDUCATION AND THE CHAINGANG
Of course, the white Southern papers are all right, but they don't tell us about the progress of the black man. They tell us all about who was hired, how men are in the chain gang or in the community, about mobs and mob laws, and rights and the color line. We are told of that. We want to hear what the men and women are doing who are not on the chain gang. There are thousands of our educated men and women right here in the South, who own their homes and 15 to 20 horse farms and are doing well, and their education has not put them in the chain gang.
We all could go North, East and West, but the South is our home. We own property here, land by the thousand of acres, churches, schoolhouses, and we feel that we have as much right in the South as anybody else. Because we stay here, we are not fools and goaways, but we are at home. To hell with the "social equality." We want the ballot and men on the jury and our rights. There are thousands of poor white men in this, our South, voting and serving on the jury. They have the ballot though some of them are so ignorant, that they cannot write their name.

Whereas, Since the removal of the Hon. R. B. Hawley from our midst as our leader, the Hon. Edward McCarthy, banker, who, during the leadership of Mr. Hawley was his most dependable and able assistant, and who, in fact, was possibly the most potent factor of all his other assistants in making possible Mr. Hawley's success, has been made the leader of our party, and since he has assumed the leadership he has shown his prowess, strength and capability, for he has in the face of the strong opposition of the Democratic party and some Republicans, placed Galveston as the hotbed in Republicanism and made it the foremost Republican center in the State of Texas. It was his tact, force of leadership and uncompromising attitude, which in 1912 carried Galveston County for Theodore Roosevelt. Through his stubborn and relentless advocacy of Republican supremacy, Galveston County, in the just past election, cast more Republican votes than any county in the state, in spite of the fact that the state organization made no effort whatever to secure one vote for the Republican candidates, and his consummation on the Democratic stronghold was so telling and severe that the Democratic party, through its executive committee and chairman, openly intimated many Democrats and threatened to arrest any who dared to leave the party allegiance and vote the Republican ticket. At no time has he ever hesitated to respond generously and speedily to the call of his party, both state and national, as each has attested. Standing preeminently head and shoulders above all other Republicans in his unswerving devotion to the principles andcepts of the Republican party, he is not the most feared Republican by the Democrats and the most revered by his party; therefore, he it

The church held the prison until the authorities released him. The Rt. Laatre stands for "until hedged mankind lost last and all the time. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the National Association for the Advancement of People and is also an ardent member of the Pio No. His church is the largest satellite which in begun thrown into the heart of Boston Church. It has been the center of education in Peterburg. It is a wider spread of the church in the affluence of the city. It has itself been the part of the antitheology and the evangelism of Mt.

THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS
TWOVIEWS OF NEGRO MUSIC
Two recent articles bearing on the origin and influence of Negro music, coming from widely different sources and from widely separated viewpoints, may not be without interest and value for both the layman and the student of that subject. In the first article, which appeared as an editorial in the Southwestern Christian advocate, the writer considered the soulful music of the Negro as a vindication to his claim to a place in the human brotherhood. The writer continued:
When someone wants to appear smart and cast a slur on the Negro, he says that the Negro is an imitator; but this is totally disproved in several phrases of Negro life and nowhere is the refutation more complete than in the realm of music. The music of the Negro is not "darky" music. It is music. Some day there will arise a Negro with sufficient caliber of brain and heart to interpret Negro music in symphony, sonata, oratorio and opera that will rival the productions of Beethoven, Hayden, Handel, and Verdi. Technicians so far have failed to recognize those indecipherable, unmatched, and so far, unrecorded half tones and minors which are mixed in such wonderful harmony and melody in Negro music like the which has not even been approached or suggested in all of the other music of the world. In whatever else the Negro is not distinct he is thoroughly distinct in his music, which at present, let us grant, has not reached its highest artistic development but that there is a basis more dare deny. The Negro is to rise and shine in oratory, poetry, art and music to such an extent as will command brotherly recognition even from the most unwilling.
Miss Kitty Cheatham, a notred singer and reciter, is quoted on this subject as saying: "Do you realize that Negro folk music has a unique place in the folk music of the world? I have pleaded for its serious recognition in America and Europe, and I have protested ceaselessly against its counterfeit being called Negro music." Technicians have argued with me on this subject, insisting that only the sensuous emotions of the Negro were stirred by the Biblical episodes which have inspired those moving and beautiful old songs. I say 'No! no!' Their songs came forth inspirationally, and that is why we must reverence and treasure them. Everything that is uttered spontaneously with purity and a childlike faith as its basis of expression has a lasting value." Miss Cheatham went on to compare the folk lore music of the American Negro and the music of the peasants of Russia, as follows:
"I was in Kinsua long before this terrible war broke out, and I lived for a time in a camp surrounded by 30,000 peasant soldiers. I can still hear them singing their indescribably wonderful peasant songs. After each meal I would always listen for a certain solemn and moving chant of thanksgiving. Upon their homeward marches from their homes the powerful voice would suddenly burst into song and a mighty chorus of hundreds of voices would quickly join in. The effect was unlike anything I have ever heard.
"Of all the music in the world, and I have been in many countries, I have never heard anything so like the old Negro music as the peasant music of Russia. In the Latin countries we find in much of the folk music the personal touch. Usually, a romantic forms the object. This you find totally eliminated in the old Negro songs, which were always inspired by the impersonal."
According to William Anthony Aery at Hampton Institute "Negro music is a rich tradition." In the Tuskegee Student he told some weeks ago how an American Negro who helped to entertain Prince Henry of Prussia in 1002 by singing for son and his party some of the plantation melodies or "spirituals" of the Old South has been traveling from camp to camp successfully teaching thousands of Negro soldiers to die in death while serving for Germany.
The "Hymn of Freedom" is one of the newest songs which has been meeting with the favor of the Negro troops. It is a male chorus with piano accompaniment by Natalie Curtis Burlin. The music of this song follows closely the original old Negro spiritual, "Oh Ride on, Jesus", which is sung on St Helena Island, off the coast of South Carolina. That the singing Negro soldier is a conquering warrior some of the Germans already realize. As thousands of well-trained, loyal Negro troopers go overseas, the Huns will know that singing black men live and the for God and country.
Joshua E. Blanton in a Hampton Institute graduate who is superintendent of industries at the Penn School on St. Helena Island is the American Negro who has the distinction of being able to put together to American Negro troops, not only Mrs. Birthl's strong "Hunn of Freedom" which was just sung at Penn School in Johns, but also those staircases and soul-string melodies of the country who know from almost century to highest now. The Negro folk music which was once used to show Prince Henry of Prussia some of America's original contribution to art is now on amnesia for stirring within black men's hearts those emotions which will carry them joyfully and continuously through the shock of earth. The heart music of American Negro is adapted to strengthen to the best if human nature that white men and women who are not white are in the opportunity of hearing the full music sung, eagerly seize it for their own use and enjoyment.

dom' will undoubtedly be taken up by white community and army song leaders who wish to give civilians and soldiers an opportunity to sing some worthwhile and patriotic music. This able colored leader who is a half brother of Dr. Robert K. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has been of unusual service to white and colored people. Not only has he been able to manage Penn School farm so as to raise mote and better crops, but he has helped to train boys for agricultural work and has also shown the black farmers how to make a better living on the land. Through his services as a song leader in the army camps he helped to build up that morale among Negro troops which is so essential to the winning of the world war for democracy.

GIGANTIC HIT
Ramsey Morris' Spee
THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
J. A. Shipp believes that the effort of the players in the stock companies of the Quality Amusement Company are playing a big part in stimulating interest in the artistic possibilities of the race. In the future the star system, so much in vogue in the past, will give way to the method long since employed by Broadway producers in the musical comedy field, namely, the idea that no one or two people of reputation, whether good or bad actors, can give a satisfactory performance, even if they are assisted by a crowd of the best singers and dancers in the country, along with pretty costumes, electric lights and scenery. Some managers some day will try with Negro performers the type of performance suggested above. If the Lafayette Players could give an excellent performance of the "Lame Kuh Club" and "Chinatown" in the short period of seven days, the time used in the preparation of the plays, could they with the usual four or five weeks allotted to preparation in the regular channels give a performance that would stand the test of the road? What is the answer?
"THE NINETY AND NINE"
SCORES AT LAFAYETTE
"The Ninety and Nine," Ramsey Morris' great melodrama, which is being presented by the popular Lafayette Players at the Lafayette this week, is playing to crowded houses and has been unanimously voted by those who have seen it, "the best attraction of the year."
Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond are adding new laurels to their long list by their splendid work in this production and Arthur Simmons, Lillian Gillam, Elizabeth Williams, Carlotta Freeman, Clarence E. Muse, H. L. Preyor, Arthur T. Ray, Charles Moore and other members of the company play the characters assigned them in a splendid manner. There are several new faces in the cast. No play ever offered on the Lafayette stage has been produced in such a laxish and spectacular manner.
"Darkest Russia," a gripping play which deals with the Imperialists on Russia and the Nihilistic faction in social circles of Moscow, will be the attraction presented by the Lafayette Players next week. The play tells the story of pretty Ida Baroys and her brother, both members of the Nihilistic forces. The love affairs and the persecution of those young people is wonderfully told by the many characters employed. This attraction also marks the farewell appearance in New York this season of Abbie Mitchell, William "Babe" Townsend, Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Alice Gorgas, Susie Sutton, Will A. Cooke, Thomas Moseley, J. W. Coleman, A. P. Comathiere, I. Francis Mores, and other members of this company.
Next Sunday afternoon and evening the Lafayette will offer a splendid program of vaudeville and photoplay features. There will be six big time acts, the Metro feature, "Hitting the High Spots," in which Bert Lestell is seen in the leading role, and other photoplay features.
Veteran Fighter Draws No "Color Line'
HARRY T. BURLEIGH Accompanying His Own Songs
LAWRENCE B. BROWN, Accompanist
Mr. Hayes is ever mindful of the generous appreciation and encouragement shown by your whole-hearted support of his attempts to entertain and edify, from his earliest appearance before the people of the Metropolis.
It is in keeping with his original intentions, coupled with your constantly increasing support, that he believes you await, and will welcome a larger and more finished presentation upon his part, as an exponent of song. He is the author of the book *The Loving to Music lovers of Manhattan*, where racial movements of a high character have always received a strong impetus, and the stimulating influence from many well-wishers for its success, whether in art, literature, science, or industry.
He flattens at this time, after careful preparation, to solicit your patronage and satiate within his power your desire for the best in song, foreign, domestic or racial.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1919. MANHATTAN CASINO
According to the spotting correspondent of the New York Evening Mail, who writes under the name of "Veteran Observer," Jack Dempsey and Langford are now the two top officers of the night world, fighters for true, you might call them. There is but this difference between them. Dempsey will fight any white man on earth. Langford will fight any man, black or white. Dempsey draws the color line. Langford does not. When Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, asked Jack Keats, Dempsey's manager, for a match, Keats plainly told him that Dempsey wanted none of Langford's game. Better fighters than Dempsey, too, in their day have declined the issue with Langford, just because he could hit too hard.
"They all look alike to me," said Langford, who was in Chicago for a few days en route for San Francisco, to meet Fred Fulton. "White or black, it doesn't make any difference. Nearly all the white fellows, when they first come out, want to meet me, but when they whip some one and get a reputation they draw the color line and pass me up. "Of all the big fellows, the only one that has proven a square and regular gentleman with me is Batting Levinsky. When he was whippin' Jack Dillon and that kind my manager asked him for a match. Now, Bat didn't beat around the bush and talk about color lines. He simply said: "Guess I'll wait a couple of years for Sam. He's showin' up now and won't be able to hit so hard then." Others draw the color line simply because they don't like my game and don't want to take a chance of losing their reputation. But Levinsky's frank, very frank. And that's why I like him."
As Sam and I talked news came in over the wire that the Supreme Court had reversed the decision of the lower court and declared John the Barber's contract with Jack Dempsey valid and binding.
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Langford. "I am fond of Dempsey. He's a fine young fellow. I knew him when he had no reputation, and just before he signed up with John the Barber to fight John Lester Johnson in New York. After that fight Dempsey went to the barber for his bit, but was laughed at and virtually left on his back in New York.
"Disgusted with his experience in the big town, Dempsey hopped a freight and beat his way all the way from New York to San Francisco. As soon as he reached there he won fame and fortune, and then it was that John the Barber sprung that old contract on him. He could not see the boy when he was down and out.
"If I were in Dempsey's place, rather than let any man put anything like that over on me, I'd go to farming or hod carrying. I certainly would not let him profit a penny by my performances" in the ring.
"What is your honest opinion of Dempsey?" I asked.
"He's the best one of the big fellows today with the excursion of Jess Willard," said Sam. "He would have no chance with Willard. Jess is too big and strong for him, and, besides that, Jess has improved greatly as a boxer ever since he whipped Jack Johnson. And Willard is as big and strong today as ever in his life. I saw him stripped the other day. He carried little flesh
JOHN B. HARRIS
and appeared to be in first-class condition."
"When Langford Was in Paris.
"How about Georges Carpentier, the French champion? They say he is coming over to meet Dempsey. What chance do you give Georges?"
"While in Paris just before the war started I saw much of Carpenter," said Sam. "I saw him whip, Joe Jeannette there and saw him set-to with other good boxers.
"He is too light and not nearly rugged and strong enough to hold his own with Dempsey. He will need to be a much-improved fighter to stand a chance with Jack, or I am greatly mistaken, Dempsey is too big and rough a fighter for Georges."
"Was your stay in Paris pleasant and gratuable?"
"Yes; it was both, I did fine, and, besides, I had the pleasure of meeting many Americans there.
"I was in Paris on the day when they were running, the Grand Prix at the Chantilly course, and I had the pleasure of meeting Tod Sloan and Danny Maher, the American jockeys. Tod was stopping with his valet in a suite in the Hotel Cecil, for which he was paying $50 a day. Oh, yes, they were coming easy for Tod then.
"In a chat with him one night we talked of Isaac Murphy, the great colored race rider, and the races he won. Tod told me that Isaac had given him his first lessons in race riding and that all his later success as a jockey was due to them. He put Murphy down as the greatest jockey that ever lived."
"In London," said Sam, "I met many gentlemen who asked me about Peter Jackson. They had seen him box Slavin and others, and they told of what a fine colored gentleman old Peter was."
"And Sam," some one butted in, "they say that you are fast getting the reputation that Jackson had of being a gentleman under any and all circumstances." Tears came into the big eyes of Langford as though he was thinking of the old Chesterfield of the prize ring. But he brushed them away quickly and said:
"I try to be a gentleman always. It don't cost nothing to be kind and decent, no matter where you go. I don't think anything would please me better than to know that when I'm gone they will say: 'Old Sam was another Peter Jackson, a gentleman always.'"
But Peter was more than a gentleman—he was a born wit. You all remember the story of the English lord who said to Peter one day:
"You're a man of family, Mr. Jackson. I suppose? You've a wife in America I presume."
"Nothing of that kind, my lord," replied Peter. "I fight all my battles in the prize ring." And it was quick wit like that that added to his popularity. "And how about you, Sam?" "Oh, I have a wife and two little ones living on my place near Boston. I'm not like "I Peter. I don't fight all my battles in the prize ring." "In a recent visit to the coast I paid a visit to Lucky Baldwinn's Santa Anita ranch. Of what a lovely place it is. And out on the long lawn there stands a lifelike statue of Isaac Murphy, with whip and coddle in hand, and looking just as he did when he rode Lucky's great cool Vimperator of Norfolk

Jesse O. Thomas Tells of Future in the Labor World

An attempt to these questions has taxed the skill and patience of the both classes were very interested about the place the Negro occupies in the civic, social, and educational life of our health.

in certain kinds of war work industries. Still other thousands were attracted by the high wages paid by the munition plants and other governmental agencies as well as private concerns. Still others migrated north fleeing from mob violence, and other racial disturbances. From all the causes above mentioned several hundred thousand Negro wage earners have migrated north in the last four years.
A few days ago at Camp Devins in Massachusetts, we are told that 4,000 discharged soldiers that were conscripted in southern states asked to be sent to the city of Boston, Mass. They wrote their families and loved ones to join them there. We have also been told that a hundred thousand soldiers including those in the American cantons and those with the American Expeditionary Forces in France who originally came from the south, have asked to be discharged in northern communities. They, too, will invite their families to join them, which will mean an increase in our population of perhaps 250,000 during the brief period of demobilization.
During the period of the war, the Negroes, because there was no difficulty in establishing his racial identity and because he was in no way suspected of treason or disloyalty, was given preference in working in the Nitro Chemical Plants and handling the explosives, as well as in shell factories and other munition plants, and because of the reeducation in the immigration of foreigners, he was recommended and employed by almost every kind of industry, both skilled and unskilled, both men and women. With few exceptions wherever he has been given a change, he has made good and stood a good chance of holding his place in industry. Those of us who have been dealing with him and concerned about his welfare, had become quite hopeful regarding his place in the labor world, but the ending of the war at this unfortunate season of the year has caused the most optimistic among us to be "shaky" about the ultimate outcome.
Through the process of demobilization both military and civil, thousands of men and women are being released from munition plants or cannons and military control. This will continue to be true until the million men in our American cannons, and the two million men in our armies "over there" have been returned to civil life and until every munition plant has been closed and every government emergency organization has been disbanded. We have just been advised that during the present week the Septune Meter Company of Long Island, and the American Can Company at Edgewater, N. J. would release upwards of one thousand women. According to a report from the Examiners-in-Charge of the U. S. Employment Service of Greater New York, there are 1700 men turned away from thirteen district offices daily because there are that many registrants than there are jobs to offer. This may be considered typical of the labor condition in the least country at the present time. At least 957 perhaps more or these 1,700 registrants are white.
One of the Nicro weeklies report that the infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation" has created such industrial upheaval in the city of Memphis, Teum, that the white employee of the C. V. M. V. A Railroad System have gone on strike, demanding the removal of the elected employee. Both of these groups of wage earners have been working side by side, sustaining harmonious and peaceful relations. This paper further states that the Mayor of Huntington, Indiana had been petitioned by a group of white citizens to expel Nicro employees in that city. These are some of the evidences of an unjustified labor condition, and unless handled judiciously, will be manifested in all parts of the country.
During the war the War Industry Board restrained building activities to the extent that there was little building operation except as it was intimately related to the war program. As a consequence at the present time there are practically no buildings in the course of construction and because of the uncertainties of the labor market as it related to standardizing wages, etc., it will be set several months before the building interests of our nation will assume its regular proportions. All of this tends to complicate our economic and industrial situation and here is where the danger lies for the black man. As long as there are seventeen white men seeking employment to every job available, there is a present danger of colored men being displaced by the job seeking, having man and is white men once get in where colored men have been employed and have made good, if the white man remains on the job until the labor market resumes its normal aspect, the colored man will be entirely out of touch with his employer and his place thus far gained in industry will be lost. My appeal here would be directed toward all who are friendly toward the Negro wage earner and who have his interest at heart, to both the clergy and laity, fraternal, social and business organizations as well as to the public press to use their influence in having the Negro "nurse" his job, as it were, however humble it may be. The future of the Negro in the labor world, will depend upon his putting in six days a week and sixty minutes every hour on the job.
By eliminating all hitherto racial carmarks from the task performed by Negroes, that it shall be done so thoroughly that it will be impossible to ascertain whether the job was done by a black man, and that the returning soldiers as man, and that the returning soldiers as well as those released from our own local cantonments, and the civilians who have been receiving large wages and salaries, to accept almost any job that he can get at the present time and hold on to it with bull-dog tenacity until the clouds of uncertainty and confusion have passed away. The Negro must be urged to save every penny possible because in the future if, we are to maintain our place amid the civilized people of the
earth, we must establish economic independence.
We must have business concerns mutual and operated by our people where young men and young women of character and efficiency may find employment. There must be a greater sense of racial consciousness, stimulation and racial pride and racial loyalty. The Negro must educate the white man through the public press as well as by daily contact to differentiate between what he calls "social equality" and "Civil industrial and economic equality." We must prove by our conduct that we know that there is as much beauty and virtue in our own womanhood as there are in any women upon the earth. What the Negro wants is "civic equality." Equality before the law, equal distribution of public funds for his education, equal accommodation in the public carriers and the abolishing of jim-crow cars, all forms of segregation, disfranchisement and lynching.
The future of the Negro in the labor world reduced to its lowest terms will depend very largely upon two kinds of education, one for the white man and one for the black man. The Negro must first of all be taught to have confidence in his ability, to receive as much and the same quality of training as a white man may receive under the same condition and circumstances. He must be taught that with the same kind and amount of training, he can become just as efficient as any other man. He must be taught that there are no color lines in realms of thought, in realms of electricity, in matter, earth; that an area of ground will stand as readily and in a great abundance to the hands of the black man as it will to the hands of the white man. He must be taught not to contain with doing a job 'tolerable well' or 'pretty good' but must be to that the job shall be as well as it can be done by any human being. Must conduct his affairs, carrying or otherwise according to the same standard of efficiency by which successful business companies are conducted. Must not depend upon racial beals to support his business, but must appeal to the community not support upon a basis of giving the same kind of service for value received, that is given by his fellow-competitor. What is true of his labor must be true of his business. All hitherto racial earmarks must be eliminated and must so remain for all time to come.
The white man must be made to realize that there is no superior in color and when he goes to the markets of the world to buy labor, not to ask for color, but for kind. We must teach him that we are as capable to perform a definite task as any other man. We cannot do this by words. Deeds alone will count here. We want no special consideration. We simply want a man's chance, a square deal.
There is great hope for the race's future place in the labor world in the democratic policies of the U.S. Employment Service and the State Public Employment Bureau. The future of the Negro in industry will depend in no small upon the vocational guidance given to the younger element of wage earners of the race. In order to direct this class of job seekers, the U.S. Employment Service has inaugurated a junior section. It is surprisingly interesting to note the percentage of wage earners that come from among this group of our fellow laborers. Fourteen per cent of the wage earners of the whole country range between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. The Negro's economic problem will be solved in a very large measure at the placement of wage earners between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one during the next two years. Like all organizations having the confidence and support of our people, the U.S. League has a large part in assisting the Negro to become a absorbed politician by directing his social and economic development during the years of the transition.
While the situation is complex and difficult there is still room for optimism. Move all we must not lose faith in spirit of all the luminaries, legislative prescriptions, and eminent men that we encounter daily. We must not lose faith in ourselves, in our morals, and public spirit while men and women must not lose faith in God. In spite of all of our trials and tribulations, I believe that God still lives as in evidence the earth still brings forth her increase, increase not only in the form of vegetation but in the form of trees like Theodore Roosevelt Holdingworth Woods, Amelia E. Laddman and others of their kind. Let us set our faces like that as we go forward to duty and our motto shall be "All men up and no men down," in the very last analysis, neither men nor God can escape the inevitable.
The laws of chastity persist.
Binds the oppressor with the oppressed.
And as close as sin and suffering joined.
We march to fate abreast."

COLORED WAITERS MAKING
GOOD
Reports coming to THE Age from the management at Churchill's famous dancing cabaret, indicate that the seventy-five or more colored waiters are giving satisfaction. R. W. Boyd of Brooklyn, is headwaiter and with Charles Forney and Melvin Williams, second and third waiters, respectively, and ten captains, has a very efficient corp of officers. The manager states that the men are giving as good, if not better, service than the waiters, and who give perfect satisfaction in every respect. He further stated that the patroner has increased since the installation of colored waiters.
On New Year's Eve Gus Dirkss of the "Kattenjammer Kids" had a party of twenty-two for dinner and was so pleased with the service that he made a short talk commending the service and speaking in the highest terms of these young men. Frank Stevens, son of Mr. Harry Stevens, who has eating privileges at Madison Square Garden and the largest race tracks in the country, also had a party of friends to dine there recently and afterwards spoke to the management of the splendid service given.
The record these young men are making refutes the long standing opinion that colored waiters cannot give first class service.
When the white cooks went on strike last week, the management asked for volunteers among the waiters to fill their places. So many volunteered and proved themselves equal to the emergency that a number had to be sent back from the kitchen to resume their places at the tables. So well did the new cooks acquit themselves that the change was not known to the patrons.

The object of the task is to make it not many, but one sin, that he leaves from accepting Christ, from reading, from useful life, and, in the last analysis, from entering heaven. Dr. T. L. Griffith prescheduled a special sermon to women at 7:50 P. M., from the subject "Bible Moths and Weavers." It was
