The New York Age 2ND EDITION THE NEWS AS IT IS Demand Recognition on Republican State Committee TWO NATIONS HONOR HEROES OF THE OLD FIFTEENTH VOL. XXXII. NO. 32. Demand TWO NA Colored Voters of New York State Ask G.O.P for More Political Patronage. (Special to The New York Am) ALBANY, N. X.—Representation on the Republican State Committee of one man and one woman, a more equitable division of political passage, the enforcement of the 15th Amendment and the suppression of mob violence are some of the demands enumerated in resolutions adopted by the executive committee of the Republican Council of the State of New York at a meeting held April 23, at 110 State street. The council is made up of colored men and women who were present as delegates from various sections of the State. The consensus of opinion was that with thousands of colored voters likely supporting the Republican Party they are entitled to more recognition. It was pointed out that neither in the apportioning of State positions nor in any of the cities and counties is the Nation accorded the consideration to which he is rightly entitled. Whereas, we being faithful adherents to the principles of the Republican party of the State of New York, and recognizing the voting strength of the national population of the Empire State, which has increased to over 200,000, we feel that we, the executive committee of the Republican party of the State of New York, are largely-increased that the Republican committee gives us representation and that the committee be through and one man. Further, that the Republican call the attention of the State to the expect an equal distribution of a successful lead to that end please cooperation. We will also drafted and the executive committee of the Southern Council of the New York, in republican assemblies, and represent more than 200,000 loyal, patriotizations of the Empire State which we live, do hereby petition and pray your excellence and dignity to the forty-ninth States soldiers of the Twentieth Regiment who were called unity of participation in Houston, Texas, riot, August 1915, and sentenced to prison life.

THE NEW YORKER MME. WALKER SERIOUSLY ILL: SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Mine, C. J. Walker, the well-known hair cultist, was brought to New York Tuesday from St. Louis seriously ill. She was accompanied by Dr. W. P. Curtis and Miss M. Antoinette Howard, a registered nurse. Madame Walker was taken to her home at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, where she is being attended by her family physician, Maj. J. H. Ward, who is on a short leave from Camp Upton. Madame Walker went to St. Louis April 18 to be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Rigginson, Mrs. L. Sull street. For more than a year she has been in ill health, and made the trip to St. Louis against the advice of physician. So critical was Madame Walker's condition at one time, while in the Mound City that eminent specials were called in, and her attorney, E. M. Kansom was summoned from Indiana when she began to show improvement. Dr. Curtis consented to her coming to New York. High blood pressure is said to be the cause of Madame Walker's illness.

After sleeping forty-eight days and night, Matilda Blount, colored who "sleeped" 1018 West 3715 street, has awakened from her extended slumber, very much alive and with a number of miraculous tales to tell. She went to sleep 47 days ago and during her peaceful rest, baffled Savanah physicians by giving them a fair example of sound slumber. Miss Blount is now hailing her many listeners, telling them what she saw while in a state of subconsciousness. St. Peter and she are on speaking acquaintance, and the great white way is no longer a mystery to her. Her case was a peculiar one. She could be stood on her head, placed in any position, stuck with a knife, pinched or kicked, white asleep and it would never disturb her. She was fed artificially, and had a trained nurse attendant to study the case. FRI NDS PUI THEIR O. K. ON REV. F. W. D. JONES (ALSO TO THE NEW YORK ACK) Rochester, N. Y., friends of the Rev. L. D. W. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church here deny the charge recently made public by one set of trustees that he should be removed because of questionable business methods. In a signed statement given out this week by those declaring themselves to be members of the present board of trustees, the assertion is made that the pastor has done more constructive work in Rochester during the past fifty years than any other colored man. The statement is signed by G. H. Wraig, W. J. Smith, S. C. Young, C. A. Jones, B. J. Hawkins, W. H. Green, L. S. Wagstaff and B. F. Brindy, and is as follows: "The statement which appeared in the notice of this AoV on the 12th instn. concerning to be from the board of trustees of the People's Memorial A. F. Zion Church of Roanest. N. Y. was uninstituted by this board. The purpose of these names appeared under the treatment with possibly two exceptions, have not been officially connected with our church since November 11 last, at which time Messrs. G. H. Wright, W. J. Smith, Ira Bennett and S. C. Young were re-elected, and Messrs. B. L. Hawkins, C. A. Jones, W. H. Green, J. S. Wagstaff and B. F. Bundy were unanimously elected trustees by the people of the church. "As members of the present board of trustees we earnestly desire to say that from past association with the Rev. E. D. W. Jones, first unofficially and then officially, we believe that his character is absolutely irreproachable. Pastoring our church has been only one of the many important services which he has and is rendering to our community. We further believe that he has done more real, constructive work here for our race than any other race man who has Hayward and Men Decorated in City College Stadium Heroes of the old 15th were decorated by the United States and France Sunday afternoon before nearly ten thousand colored and white Americans in the City College Stadium. Twenty-three medals were pinned on the breasts of members of the regiment and relatives. Col. William Hayward, who was made an officer of the Legion of Honor, was the central figure of a most inspiring ceremony. The medal was received for the part he and his regiment played in holding the road to Paris on July 15, and for the part played during the Champagne offensive.

The decorations were awarded with a group of colored sailors from the Atlantic fleet, members of the old 15th, and a battalion of the new 15th acting as guard of honor, while the regimental band played patriotic airs. General Collardet, chief military attacke of the French Embassy, decorated Colonel Hayward with the medal of the Legion of Honor. The French general was attended by his aids, Lieut. J. Labat and Capt. H. Blaise. Through its representative France thanked the whole disbanded regiment of colored men that fought with the Fourth French Army under General Gouraud and made the most impressive record of any unit in the American Expeditionary Forces. Sergt. William Butler and Sergt. Geo. Valeska were doubly honored, as they were decorated with the Croix de Guerre by the French and the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States. Major Lorillard Spencer, Lieut. Col. Charles W. Fillmore and Major Hamilton Fish, Jr., were officially awarded the Croix de Guerre, as were Charles Dean, Mrs. S. Holden and Mrs. Frederic Lobb, two mothers and a widow, respectively, of officers of the 369th, formerly the old 15th. On the authority of General Pershing, Colonel Hayward personally presented the Distinguished Service Cross to the following enlisted men: G. E.

Sorcerant Butler a Distinguished Hero. Script Butler is one of the distinguished heroes of the famous regiment. On the night of August 12 while the fighting was raging in the Champagne District, he rescued a patrol of Americans from a German raiding party. The enemy had rushed the American trenches and had captured five privates and a heintenant. The raiders were returning to the German lines with their prisoners when Butler, occupying a laurel position in a forward post, saw that it would be necessary for them to pass him. He waited until the Germans were close to his post, then opened fire upon them with his machine gun. After killing ten Germans, Butler took the German lieutenant, who was slightly wounded, released the American lieutenant and fuged enlisted men of the regiment, returning to the American lines with the German officer and rescued party. The work of Sergt. Valeska, a member of Company E, in the same campaign, won his two medals for him. His company went over the top to take a certain small village, which had been named as the final objective of the company. But before going many feet the containment of the company was killed. Within a few minutes every other officer of the unit had either been wounded or killed. Then Valeska, seizing the opportunity, took command of the remnant of the company and, although himself injured, managed to lead it on into the village and hold it until relieved by a stronger force of troops from the rear. After the presentation, memorial ser- HARLEM BUSINES On April 25 leading colored business men of Harlem met at 219 West 138th street to discuss matters of vital interest to themselves and the Negro community as a whole.

WANT SQUARE DEAL AT HARLEM HOSPITAL At the yearly installation of officers and banquet of the Manhattan Medical Association, held Wednesday evening, April 23, the effort the association is making to place colored physicians in the outpatient departments and clinics of the Harlem Hospital was the chief topic discussed. Every one agreed that the fight should be continued to change conditions which bar colored men from every department of the hospital, although the institution is in a colored community. A committee, composed of Drs. Rawlins, Graves and Pottinger, was appointed to make further arrangements to carry on a concerted effort on the part of local colored physicians to bring about a change of policy at the Harlem Hospital. The following officers were installed for the opening year: Dr. Charles H. Roberts, president; Dr. E. F. Rawlins, vice president; Dr. L. W. Saunders, secretary; Dr. James Anderson, treasurer. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. A. S. Reed, Dr. G. Henderson, Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Roberts, Fred R. Moore, Dr. A. B. Graves, Dr. Bright, Miss Vandervall, Dr. and Mrs. Green of Newark, Dr. and Mrs. Beni, T. Withere, Dr. Edwards, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Dr. and Mrs. Coulin, Mr. Brown, Dr. S.

Such bestiality can be recognized only as a form of per- version. . “An important olement in animal acts of this sort is that aside from its in- fluence on the immediate environment it: brings out the worst animal instincts in many defective persons throughout the: country. “OF couése, lynching brutalizes those who take part in it.-No person who can deliberately Kill another can thereafter be a law-abiding, civilized person.

The consequence is to open up the primitive instincts in normal persona.” SOLDIER PUNISHED (Sppeial to Tua New Your Acs) AusaNv, Ga.—Feeling is strong “is Sylvester ‘against the parties who took Daniel Mack, a colored soldier recently discharged, ftom the city barracks Mon- day night and beat hin almost to death It is stated by prominent men in the Worth County town that vigorous prose- cution will be instituted if the men can be located. = Mack was given a street sentence of thirty days foF knocking down a white nian who bumped inta him on the streets of Sylvester, and had served a part of hus sentence when four armed men over- powered the acting night marshal, took his “keys and removed the ex-soldier from the lockup Monday night.

C. TOO SWEEPING. A Negro welfare organization recently received a letter from an ostensible employer of Negro labor in which sweeping charges were made as to the unreliability of the women and boys of the race as workers. Evidently the writer of the letter was so irate at the moment of writing that his wrath got the better of his facts, or else he deliberately stretched the truth to serve his prejudices. But let us examine his complaints and see if there may not be a grain of truth beneath the wholesale denunciation: I am not at all in sympathy with the movement that is bringing so many of these people from their native homes to our cities, where they become burdens on our permanent residents. I have tried them out as unskilled workers both in my home and in my office, and find them absolutely impossible. The women are lazy and slack and thievish. They make more work than they do, and my wife finds it more practical to get along without any help than to be pestered and annoyed by such assistance as they try to give. In my office during the shortage of boys, I tried to hire Negro boys. They would go out with a message, but you never knew when they were coming back. You never could believe anything they told you, and furthermore I have had them throw valuable packages down the culverts in the street corners instead of carrying them to their destination. I have had them take packages for delivery and neither package or boy ever show up again. At another time, the Carlton Ave Y M C A. from whom we hired one, we recovered a package nearly two weeks after we sent the boy out with it, so I think the best thing to do with this menacing element is to send them back to whome they came, and to the people who know how to handle them for their own good. Without accepting this screed as wholly genuine, let us grant that there are to be found women who are "lazy and shack and thevish" in all races. Careless office boys are not peculiar to the Negro race. Nevertheless, these complaints emphasize the need for better and more acceptable service on the part of those who seek employment in the great Metropolis. Reliability and efficiency are required of all workers who are anxious to commend themselves to their employers. The Negro workers must put the requirements in their work if they want to establish themselves in the industrial field. Those who have succeeded, and the number is not few, have put conscience and efficiency in the performance of their tasks. The newcomers in the field must do likewise. As for the complainant in this case, the concluding sentiment snacks too much of Southern intolerance: "I think the best thing to do with this menacing element is to send them back to whence they came, and to the people who know how to handle them for their own good." It stamps the whole production with the carmarks of the professional Southerner. A NEEDED CAMPAIGN. No longer is the treatment of what was popularly known as private diseases to be left to the tender mercies of the quack doctor and the patent medicine manufacturer. One of the by-products of the war was the taking over by the government of the cure and prevention of venereal diseases. Beginning at first with the soldiers, this movement has been extended to the general public. The United States Public Health Service has recently launched a comprehensive campaign to root out diseases of this nature from colored communities. The campaign has the support of well-known educators and welfare organizations, and the active work will be prosecuted under the direction of leading physicians of the race. In certain States representatives of the women's association have also been named to take up the work. It is well that the government has lent its resources and authority to the extermination of this evil. Its inception and ravages were largely helped by popular ignorance of the disease and its treatment. This rendered its victims the easy prey of unscrupulous practitioners, who fleeced them roundly without rendering any lasting service. The campaign undertaken under the auspices of the Government should have fruitful results in both the cure and the prevention of such diseases in the future. Like the campaign against tuberculosis, knowledge of the causes and dangers of the complaint will put the community and the individual on guard. The Government has tackled a serious problem in the right way. Now the Democratic Administration is being charged throughout the South with having inflicted "a carpet bag" government upon that section. Nothing like this has been charged since the days of Reconstruction, immediately following the Civil War. Taken together with the Democratic revolt against Postmaster General Burleson, it shows that all is not serene in the Democratic household. The indications are that the South is riding for a fall and is seeking to find a soft spot for landing. Renewed complaints have been made as to color discrimination in the treatment of the Negro soldiers at Camp Mills. This time the charge is that these soldiers are "jinkrowed" in the hospital. Then, at other times, it is alleged to be in the dining hall. It looks as if the treatment of these soldiers was dependent upon the whims or fancies of some one, who has the power to dictate discrimination at will. There is need for a settled policy of equal and fair treatment, to all soldiers at Camp Mills, without regard to race, and there ought to be some authority at the camp big enough and strong enough to ensure its enforcement. Otherwise the War Department should take a hand and correct matters. Information has come to T111 that the Director of the Girls Division of the War Camp Community Service, whose office is at 15 East 40th street, has shown a decided lack of sympathetic interest in the extension of this work among colored girls. The name of this unsympathetic individual is Mrs. Ada Hopkins Aine, but the region from which she hails or the environment in which she acquired the tendency to limit her sympathetic interest to those of white complexion only, remains untold. Regardless of her former career, the position she now occupies demands a broader and more liberal policy than her temperament will permit her to exercise. The good of the service demands a change of heart or a change of the director. --- The Commission on After-War Problems, created by the Council of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has tackled "a painful task." It has taken up the recommendation of a Board of Officers at Camp Meade, Md., relative to the fitness of a colored officer who had been in service overseas for admission into the regular army. The recommenda- THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1919 VIEWS and REVIEWS JOHN W. JOHNSON, COMMERCIAL HERON TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI. There has come to us an account of a triple killing in Mississippi. This account is a simple statement of facts that happened at Holly Springs a few days ago. And yet, if a novelist or a dramatist took these facts and wrote a story or a play, his work would be turned down by publishers and public on the ground that it lacked verisimilitude. Indeed, truth is stranger than fiction. A young colored man in love with and courting a colored girl; a young white man, the assistant postmaster of the town, in love with the same girl; the white man meets the colored man and tells him that he himself is deeply in love with the girl; that the colored man must discontinue his visits to her, that the girl is his; the colored man does not believe the white man is telling the truth about the girl and decides that at any rate he will see her and talk the matter over; on the following Friday night while the colored man is calling on the girl the door is opened and in steps what appears to be a huge, black man who whips out a pistol and fires killing both the girl and her caller and then makes his escape; shortly afterwards the "huge, black man," in attempting to enter the stairway leading to the room over the local drug store where the assistant postmaster lived, is confronted by officers of the law and blows his brains out. And the "huge, black man" turns out to be the young white man, the assistant postmaster of the town, with his face blackened and his clothes padded out. We say that a story or a play constructed out of these facts would be set down as a work of imagination run away with itself. Publishers would say the story was too improbable; the public would say the play was a distortion. Yet, these facts are the record of an actual event. Furthermore, this event is representative of many events that have been happening in the South during the past fifty years, not all of which, of course, have had such a tragic ending. One significant thing about this matter is the silence with which it was treated by the newspapers. It seems natural that a triple tragedy like this taking place in such a small town as Holly Springs and involving one of the most prominent young white citizens of the place would have been flashed over the wires to every newspaper in the country; at least, to all of those in the South. But it was not; and those papers that carried the news mentioned the suicide of the white man as something independent of the murder of the colored man and girl. Evidently the newspapers of the South are not willing to let the world know that a Southern white man could love a colored woman enough to make him commit a double murder and then suicide. In making such an admission there would naturally arise the question, if a Southern white man can love a colored woman like that what is there impossible, physiologically or otherwise, about a Southern white woman loving a colored man in the same manner if not degree? This triple killing in Mississippi would have been a terrible thing if the persons concerned in it had all been colored or had all old, old story, the fight of two men over the one woman, a story as old as the human race. In this case there entered other elements which make it not a mere killing, not merely murder and suicide, but tragedy of the deepest kind. There entered not only the natural rivalry between the two men for the favor of the one woman, but it was further complicated by the laws of the State of Mississippi which absolutely forbade one of the men, no matter how much he loved the woman, to seek to make her his lawful wife. Here was the law of the state working like inexorable fate to wreak vengeance. But such laws as these in Mississippi and other states, wreak their greatest vengeance upon the colored woman. It is the colored woman whom these laws place in an exposed and unprotected position. If a man seduces a girl in any of the civilized states she can have the law on him. In New York and some other states if the girl is under eighteen, even though she gives her full consent, the man is held guilty of rape. In Mississippi and states like it if a white man seduces a colored girl the law protects him in his crime; the very fact that the law forbids him to make reparation through marriage places a premium on the seduction of colored girls by white men. Under the conditions, exposed as she is to attacks from within and without, subject to the blandishments of the men both of her own and the other race, too much praise cannot be given to the colored woman for the way in which she has held her own. Many been white; but even so, it would have been only a repetition of the colored men do not realize this double danger which she runs daily. In the streets and on the streets of many cities and towns of the South any comely colored woman, no matter how respectable, is open to the insinuating remarks and even undisguised insults of white men. The colored woman knows that she has no redress under the law, and she hesitates to tell her men folks because she fears what might be the results if they took any action. The white women of the South are protected not only by the law but by lawlessness; even by recourse to the stake and the torch. And not only are the chaste white women of the South protected but, so far as colored men are concerned, the unchaste as well. In many a case where a white woman has lived with a colored man, the man has been lynched when the relation became a public scandal. Now, since the laws of Mississippi and states like it afford no protection to colored women against white men, colored men must furnish that protection. Let colored men say to white men: "You have put your anti-inter-marriage laws on the statute books; very well, live up to those laws and leave our women alone." Since colored women have no redress under the laws of these states; colored father and brothers have no other recourse than to adopt the unwritten law which Southern white men invoke for the protection of their tion embodied this sweeping opinion of the race, including privates as ion: "Negroes are deficient in well as commissioned and non-normal fibre and force of character, commissioned officers. The Comrendering them unfit as officers and mission will endeavor to make this leaders of men." This statement indictment of the Negro as an officer the subject of investigation by face, in view of the numerous in the incoming Congress. Their effences of commendation for heroic forts should be supported by all the conduct and bravery on the field forces that can be enlisted in such of battle, conferred upon soldiers a serious emergence. women. When Southern white men understand that they are liable to pay the penalty under that law for insulting a respectable colored woman or seducing a young colored girl, the status of the colored woman in the South will rise a thousand per cent; and it will not require many penalties to bring about that result. Southern white men must be made to know and feel that they cannot wall their women up in a sanctuary and be left free and unafraid to prey at large upon colored women for the satisfaction of their lechery. The moral strength and fiber of the Negro race depend upon their being made to realize this. PRESENT-DAY NEEDS OF THE CHURCH. Some few weeks ago the writer attended the dinner given by the Japan Society. This was the dinner at which the Japanese Ambassador made the speech on race equality which aroused such a storm of comment all over the country. Baron Ishii did make a momentous speech, and he said many things of grave import, but nothing he said struck me more forcibly than a remark made in passing by one of the other speakers. This speaker said, "We have just passed through a terrible war in which everything in the world has undergone a change, except the church." But there is at least one congregation in New York City which has come out of the war abreast with the spirit of the times, and that is the Church of the Messiah, of which the Rev. John Haynes Holmes is pastor. That church announced a simple creed which reads as follows: This church is an institution of religion dedicated to the service of humanity. Seeking truth in freedom it strives to apply it in love for the cultivation of the character, the fostering of fellowship, in work and worship, and the establishment of a righteous social order which shall bring abundant life to man. Knowing not sect, class, nation or race, it welcomes each to the service of all. If the church all over the world would adopt a creed like that and live up to it, there would be no necessity for a League of Nations. DR. BRILL ON LYNCHERS. Dr. A. A. Brill is one of the try.

Dr. A. A. Brill is one of the most noted neurologists in this country. He is, perhaps, the most eminent expositor in the United States of the principles of psycho-analysis discovered by the great Sigmund Freud. Dr. Brill, in connection with the National Conference on Lynching which is to be held in this city next week, has issued a statement in which he psycho-analyzes the soul of the lyncher. Dr. Brill makes the statement that Lynching is not only a sign of moral perversion but of sexual perversion. He says: The torture such is an accompaniment of modern Lynching shows that it is an act of perversion only found in those suffering from extreme forms of sexual perversion. Of course not all lynchings are conducted in that way but it is not uncommon to read accounts telling that the victim was tortured with hot irons, that his eyes were burned out and that other monstrous cruelties were inflicted upon him. Such bestiality can be recognized only as a form of perversion. Those who are at all familiar with the science of neurology and of psycho-analysis will at once see the force of this statement, and will no doubt be interested in searching deeper into the fact set forth by Dr. Brill. If public opinion could be enlightened on this point, and lynchers could be held up to the public gaze not as avengers of the honor of women, nor even as lawbreakers, but in their true character as sexual perverts, a great deal would be done to make lynching unpopular. For that would be a brand that no man would care or dare to wear. Dr. Brill concludes his statement by saying: In fact, anyone taking part in or witnessing a lynching cannot remain a civilized person. I believe that the organization of every lynching is done by perverts. The consequence is to open up the primitive instincts in normal persons. We hope, since he has become interested in it, that Dr. Brill will investigate this subject further and write a book on it. If he does, a fund should be raised to put the book in every library, school and newspaper office in the country, and into the hands of as many white Southern readers as possible. A FRESH OBSERVER ON SIGNAGE OF THE NORTH. To the Editor of Tit. New York Asia I am a country observer, observing in "Big New York." It is no use for us to be constantly looking ourselves. It is time for us to understand the signs of the North. In the South, if you are forbidden in public places, no one would be afraid to tell you. I went to a theatre on 125th street the other day and what I found was good enough to sit me straight. On the upper floor I saw many colored patterns; all tilted together. The ankle was about 35 outgrows from centre attraction. The second day I went to satisfy myself, then I found all the Negroes were packed in a little corner. The whites were placed in good positions, where they could see between the whites and Negroes were seats, 4 to 8 apart. I looked to see if there were any more Negroes on the opposite side; there were none. It is plain enough for us to get wise. On two occasions, I found that the colored people were only allowed in a other. The best thing to do, is to go where the colored people are showing, or playing, and get your money's worth. Your money is good; spend it so that your race may be benefited. Going to Negro shows would undoubtedly double colored artists' engagements at all times and put them on a stronger footing. I may name the show house: it was the Tertig-Seeman. I can with confidence prove this statement to be the truth. REVOKE BAPISTER CHARTER? TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK ACE. I am just a little Baptist, but for ten or fifteen years, prior to the "denominational split," was employed by the Home Mission-Board, N. B. C., and the Southern Baptist Convention as a District. Missionary. Hence the split to me was very painful. I read with much pleasure your able editorial concerning the readjustment of our affairs, with your help offered and I am sure every true Baptist feels grateful to you for this. Dr. Judkins, one of our leading Bap- the most noted neurologists in this course, prominent expositor in the United States, analysis discovered by the great Sigmund von Eichmann with the National Conference on in this city next week, has issued a statement analyzes the soul of the lyncher. Argument that lynching is not only a sign of perversion. He says: Companiment of modern lynching shows only found in those suffering from extreme course not all lynchings are conducted common to read accounts telling that the sons, that his eyes were burned out and were inflicted upon him. Such bestiality is of perversion. Ciar with the science of neurology and see the force of this statement, and searching deeper into the fact set forth unlightened on this point, and lynchers gaze not as avengers of the honor of, but in their true character as sexual done to make lynching unpopular no man would care or dare to wear statement by saying: For witnessing a lynching cannot remain in the organization of every lynching is to open up the primitive instincts. We interested in it, that Dr. Brill will and write a book on it. If he does the book in every library, school and into the hands of as many white lists, made a splendid reply to your editorial and said "much in little," but he did not give you the real cause of our split, and what keeps us from uniting. Fearing you may not see the "Worker," a little sheet published by Miss Nancy H. Burroughs, one of the foremost women in the race, and the real leader among women in the Baptist ranks, I am sending you a marked copy of an article, and am requesting you to read it under the caption, "The Shears That Cut Baptists in "Twes." I think then you will be more intelligently informed concerning the issues that divided us, and certainly be better prepared to give advice. I too, agree with Miss Burroughs, that there will not be any "Getting together," until that charter is revoked and the leaders pray and get right with God, and stop crucifying their brothers for whom Christ died. We are proud of such a strong race paper as TID. Aoe. Success in your efforts of race building. Mrs. L. V. MEBANE Rocky Mount, N. C. 'BUY BONDS' SAYS MME, WALKER To the Editor of THE NEW YORK-ACK: May I take the advantage of your valuable paper to urge upon my agents and customers the importance of purchasing Victory Bonds at this time? To my mind it cannot be too strongly emphasized that our boys have done their bit; brought home victory to our great cause and have finished the job, leaving it clearly up to the great army back home to make the victory complete and go over the top on this side of the water. We were loyal and patriotic during every stage of the great struggle and because of that loyalty we will go down in history as one element of American citizenship that did not shirk or balk when duty called. Let us in this last campaign subscribe so promptly and liberally when called upon by the campaign workers, that there will be no uncertainty as to where the Negto stands in these, the closing days of this great crisis. Thanking you in advance, I beg to remain. MABAM C. J. WALKER. From an address delivered in St. Bartholomew's Forum, Cambridge, Mass. Democracy means simply this, you are as good as I am and I am as good as you are, and therefore we have the same rights in the social structure and in the state. I have the right to build my home and fireside wrete I please, there rear my family in the peace of the state and under the blessing and guidance of the church live out the life that God has given to me, and then pass, as all the children of men must pass, into the unknown immortality that awaits us all. What is the other excuse they give? "Would you like to have your daughter marry a nigger?" The right of any man to protect his home and fireside is God given. You have a right to protect your breed if you want to. Nobody complains about that. But where has the inbreeding, the admixture come from, which side of the house, ours or theirs, black or white? Lincoln pointed out during his debates with Douglas, that in the states where men had the largest freedom, the great states of the North, there were the fewest mulattoes and in the states of the South where there were slaves there were the greatest number. In the long run the great law of natural selection by which Italians marry Italians and Jews marry Jews will take care of the great question of intermarriage. It was prophesied twenty years after the emancipation that the Indian world perish in the same isolation in which he had lived, but the destiny of the Indian man was in some way intertwined with that of the European. That was a prophecy for America, a prophecy which has been fulfilled generously during our age. Somehow or other the destiny of the millions of colored people is increase with that of the white millions of the world. If your house is not safe, the house of the Englishman is not safe. If the hut of the Hottentot is not secure, the palace of the Frenchman will stand long against any hostile demonstration and the palace of the Pope, one of the seven hills of Rome, is not safe. This world war, more than anything that has happened during our day, has shown that humanity, the different nationalities and races may be as distinct as the fingers of the hand, yet their interests are bound as inseparably as the clenched fist—as sin and suffering join the oppressor and oppressed marching to the future abreast. The world cry for peace, a League of Nations to enforce peace, can never be achieved, there can never be a permanent, lasting, abiding peace until and unless it can be a Christian peace, a peace that recognizes the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, that out of one blood he has made all the nations to dwell upon the face of the earth. To go back to the personal point I view, and I want to give this point of view to every man and woman that I meet. There is nothing in God's universe that can keep a truly great human intellect or a great human soul through striving, through endeavor, through work, through sacrifice, from burrowing the bonds of race and proscription and winning a place for himself or herself in humanity. There is no power that can prevent such a person from being seen, recognized and honored by men. When you reach the place of a Pushkin, or a Tanner, or a Booker Washington, you will not be trouble about your color or very little about your handicaps. You will have proved that you deserve even if your race has not yet attained to complete equality among the children of men. That a system founded upon inequality is against nature and in the long breaks down, was the saying of another great Englishman, Matthew Arnold. There is a leveling or uplifting power in humanity just as truly as water sees the level of water or gravity the everything toward the center of the earth. They may twist, they may move to give Japan a place at the peace take and yet exclude her citizens from the right to settle in many of the countries on the globe, but inevitably, because the tendency toward equality as a law of nature, Japanese subjects so later will have the same rights the world over as Saxon, Norman, Greek or Celt. It cannot but be so, for above it is another law, a law written Almighty on man's heart, in science, a law which tells us am my brother's keeper. I am for the godd or evil that beats this life and my dutty is cheer, not to crush and dissect The spirit of Christianity, if anything, if it has not been shot in the present war, if it leads, as it will, if it comes back to the homes of men, will be the spirit of humanity and Christian hood. Let me say in closing that our present disadvantages or inimitable among men, whatever be the case, the present discontent throughout the world, whatever be the cause of content here in America, not certain as that a people who have the progress that our people have in thrift, in education, in local patriotism cannot but come unown. I care nothing for our past even beyond the present. I love me a great country, a territory arising from the rising to the settling with a climate varying from the day to the Arctic night. I see country tenanted by untold millions happy, healthy human beings in race that the good God has made Men must realize, and they are beginning to realize today, the common origin and destiny of the human race and that each has the right to occupy the earth in peace, prosperity and plenty. Movements which today we look upon as cause for alarm, Bolshevikism, and the Spartacan movement in Germany, the workmen's strife in England and America, are but workings of the great leaven of equality where the masses are seeking to come into their own to take a place at the banquet of life and to share all the good things of earth, that the highest and mightiest have had exclusively during all the ages of human life. They are beginning to realize that we are all born alike, live alike and die alike. Birth, life, death, immortality are the common heritage of all the children of men. That is the basis of real democracy. A. M. E.

Mich.-The Commission on After-War Problems of the A.M. F.

BERK, Props. 213 West 53rd St. New York THE STAGE MUSIC ATHLETICS Jazz Music Is Now All the Rage Throughout United States SINCE the return of colored military bands from France to these shores the country simply has gone wild about jazz music. It is as much the rage in all sections as the spring styles, and there is every reason to believe that its popularity will increase rather than diminish in the near future. Lovers of syncopation are indebted to the Negro for what is known as ragtime, and despite the false claims of some white writers, the Negro musician is primarily responsible for the introduction of jazz music. "He jazzed everything up," is no new expression to colored members of the theatrical fraternity. Here is what Mrs. Vernón Castle, the famous dancer, has to say about jazz: "What is jazz? "There are many people in England—some of them experts in the art of dancing—who speak of what they call the jazz dance; there are others who talk about the jazz step as something new in the world of terpsichore. But as far as I am aware, there is no jazz dance or jazz step. "Let me try to define jazz as I understand it. The colored bands jazz a tune. That is to say, they slur the notes they syncopate, and each instrument puts in a world of little fancy bits of its own. The dominating feature is brass. In the United States everyone dances to jazz music, but there are no fixed steps. "Those people who regard themselves as jazz dancers—jazzers, as they doubtless would label themselves—are making just this mistake. They are being deluded by a very old step in the fox-trot, and, believing it to be a new discovery instead of a resurrection, they call it jazz. "Jazz is just something you can do with music. But the general idea in England seems to be growing that any syncopation is jazz, and from that idea it is easy to see how people who develop a step to that music commit the common error that they are dancing jazz. "People have come to me bubbling over with enthusiasm about the jazz dance or the jazz step. I'm just crazy about the step, these enthusiasts say. And when I've asked them to show it me, they've just trotted forth the old fox-trot, pure and simple. "In America jazz means merely something you can do with instruments; in England its meaning is being interpreted into almost anything you can do on the ballroom floor, and so the orchestra is being robbed of its prescriptive right in respect to the use of the word. "And now, as the printer's stock of z's must be running very low, I will leave jazz alone, and close with a few remarks which, perhaps, might interest ballroom dancers here who have not quite capitulated to ja — — (I thought I had tried the printer too far.) "We are dancing everything in the United States very smoothly just now, but the valse is seldom to be found on a program. I do not think it will die altogether, but its day certainly seems to have gone." CLEF CLUB CONCERT Elliot Carpenter, Andrew Copeland, William Parquette, "Billy" Nichola George Jackson, Charles Waters and George Hines will help to make the Clof Club entertainment at the Selwyn Theatre this Sunday evening a success.

Since the 5-hour system was introduced effect warrants be reduced that a serious condition has arisen among the workingmen, who have to pay such high prices for food, rent and clothing.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored people locally administered by President A. H. Grimke and Secretary S. M. Kendrick, wishes to be set right as to its attitude on the school situation. It appears that this organization, presumed to stand for the betterment of the race, has gotten itself in bad odor throughout the community by the blundering of its legal department in shelving a resolution calling for an investigation of the Moens incident to determine the degree of participation of school teachers in the unfortunate affair. The declination of the association to inquire into the matter gave rise to the circulation of a report that it was endeavoring to smother all investigation, Clef Singers with a view of shielding certain influential teachers from exposure and to shift blame from the shoulders of the Bruce administration. The reported attitude of the association enqueued such bitter feeling throughout the town that many who had contributed liberally to its propaganda declared they would never give another dollar for its support. To set the association right and to clear its skirts of trying to cover up anything in the interest of any individual, Secretary Kendrick instituted an investigation on his own account, to counteract the bad impression crusted by the mismanagement of the legal department. He addressed a letter to the United States attorney, John E. Lackey, and received反馈 from a public which, in substance, stated that "at the time of Moose's arrest there were from rooms at 1416 11th Street Northwest on search warrants sixy-two photographs of eight females in the unde, none of which were school teachers." Mr. Lackey's letter then goes on to say that "So far as is known to this office Miss Hunter is the only school teacher connected with the case, and the records do not indicate that any teacher, other than Miss Hunter, assisted Moose to secure subjects to be examined or photographed." The statement is given for what it is worth, and to be perfectly fair to Mr. Kendrick and other officers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who are anxious to have it known that they the imputation that they have tried to hide anything known to be wrong or that they refused to ask for light, as they were made to appear through the ill advised tactics of their legal department.
