Jackson, Member of Old 15th Gets Appointment Although Disabled Municipal Civil Commission Rules Soldier Should Be Protected. When Edward Jackson qualified in 1917 for appointment as patrolman it was found that he could not accept the appointment because he was a member of the old Fifteenth Regiment, fighting in France. When Jackson came home and was mastered out, his mind turned again to the position of patrolman and he was informed that he probably could not be appointed now by reason of physical disability. The disability was due to the fact that his right eye had been torn out by scrapnel. The matter was brought to the attention of the Municipal Civil Service Commission and it immediately recruited Jackson under the following which it promulgated last July: 2.

THE BLACK RECORD APPROXIMATELY 3,807 PERSONS LYNCHED IN AMERICA Patrick Kennedy, a bartender, formerly employed in a saloon at Eighth avenue and 117th street. Wednesday was sentenced to a term of from one to four years by Justice Vernon M. Davis of the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court for manslaughter, having been found guilty of causing the death of William Jones, colored, 315 W. 116th street. The evidence showed that the crime grew out of racial prejudice. Witnesses testified that Jones, who was a frequent visitor at the saloon where Kennedy dispensed drinks, had incurred the enmity of the defendant, who is accused of deliberately pouring a glass of gasoline over the colored man's clothing on September 7, and lighting a match to him, burned him so badly that he died two weeks later in the Knickerbocker Hospital. Kennedy was found guilty last week and Wednesday of this week was soundly scored when sentenced by Justice Davis. New Building for Columbus V. M. C. A.

In his circular to the colored people of the United States he says: "You, who are lynched, tortured, molested, persecuted and discriminated against in the boned land of liberty, the United States. Own a home in Mexico. Here one man is as good as another, and it is not your nationality that counts, but simply you. "Rich, fertile land only a few miles from Mexico City, the capital of the Republic, is now on sale for $5 an acre and up. The soil is very productive and capable of raising four crops a year. The climate is the best in the world, neither to warm nor to cold. Beautiful scenery enchants the lover of nature.

The first cable despatches to America stated that the victim was "Dixie Kid," the boxer, but later advices were to the effect that the dead man was Eugene Bullard, of Chicago.

It is declared that the white American officer, meeting the colored American on the outside of a cafe, became enraged when the former bumped into him, striking Bullard, whose head struck the pavement when he fell. The wounded man was picked up unconscious and died soon afterward. Further details of the killing are being eagerly awaited.

ST. PAUL N. & I SCHOOL ST. PAUL N. & I SCHOOL LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—The only way out of the race problem is the way of true education for life, of friendly service, of courage and courtesy, of respect for others and respect for one's self, of justice and honor, of willingness to let bygones be bygones, to forgive and forget—the Christian way. Arrogance, intolerance and selfishness get us nowhere. Violence is no cure for anything. Cruelly simply breeds cruelty. Hatred begets hatred. But mutual understanding, friendiness, sympathy, readiness to put yourself in the other man's place, the effort to bring men together rather than drive them apart—are the forces which, in Europe, and in Africa, as well as in America, doing more than has ever to establish the dominion of and good will." Dr. James E. principal of Hampden Institute, recently closed with these training words his commencement address of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, founded thirty-one years ago by Vividdeacon James S. Russell who served to the Church and State he have most effective and benefactor. Dr. William C. Sorgis, a son of one of the original incorporators of St. Paul School and educational secretary of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church, spoke on "The Price of Freedom" and emphasized the importance of having men and women regard themselves as public servants who find "peace, strength and power through walking with God." Lient. Robert W. Fearing, who was graduated from St. Paul in 1895 and recently has served as signal officer of the 80th Regiment, (original "Buffalo"), 82d Division, and has won a Croix de tially avenues for industrially efficient Nigroes. Lieut. Fearing described in some detail the various forms of communication which made possible the $25 COURSE FOR $5.00 THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD winning of the Allied victory. To the St. Paul students be said: "Always out your job. Equip yourself for what ever is before you. Remember that you have the destiny of a race in your fauds." The Rt. Rev. Beverley D. T.ucker D. D. J. Bishop of Southern Virginia and president of the St. Paul board of trustees, presented diplomas to forty-eight graduates of the school's grammar department, to thirteen graduates of the senior normal department, and to nine trade students. To the normal graduates J. N. Hillman, State supervisor of training in Virginia, presented special certificates and spoke on "Bearing the Torch." Dr. Russell, in his annual report as principal, called attention to the sacrifice last year of the school's industrial department on account of the lack of funds. This department has been the pride of St. Paul. Through it the school has achieved most. Around it all other departments have been built. The graduates of the industrial department have engaged in useful occupations and have set a worthy example for others to follow. They have won by their work substantial gifts for St. Paul. The school's policy of necessary retrenchment "has been at the awful expense of the high standard which St. Paul has endeavored to maintain, and it will cost in the future far more than the saving to restore the work." In view of St. Paul's great need for funds to carry on its work, a campaign finance committee of the trustees was formed. The committee's mission is to suggest ways and means for securing more support for St. Paul School. BERRY O'KELLY SCHOOL Many people were unable to get into the chapel. Governor T. W. Rickett and his staff and other state, county and city officials were present. Dr. W. A. Wither, chairman of the Wake County Board of Education, presided, and Dr. Motton was introduced by Governor Rickett. The Governor said: "During the Civil War the Confederate government got all of its graphite, out of which it made its lead pencils, right here in Method, and ever since that occasion Method has been busy making its mark. Method has one of the most original and most striking motives I have ever heard: 'Not a lofter in the community and every child in school.' I am not to make the speech, but I was told that I was to introduce the speaker. Dr. Motton had been persuaded to come to Raleigh to make the commencement address, because of the Method spirit that wants the best and最 after it. I want to present to you the greatest and wisest leader of the Northace. Dr. Robert R. Motton." Dr. Moton was unwilling to plead for leadership; he wasn't didn't want to be and knew of no other New York that did. Dr. Moton paid a high honor to Governor Robert for his stand in lining, especially in Winston-Saundon and spoke in terms of praise of North Carolina. "He set an example that might well be followed by every governor, especially in the South." He said, "The Negroes, like other citizens, want to be tried, and if guilty be punished by law and not by a lawless mob." All the speakers paid a high tribute to Kelly, the principal donor of the school whose life, money and time being used for his people. Thursday, Mr. O'Kelly escorted Dr. Moton to Wake Forest, where the head of Tuskegee delivered an address to the people. A large number of white people from the city were present and at the close of the address he was invited by Dr. Win Potreat, president of Wake Forest College to address the students. Dr. Moton pointed out to the young men an opportunity to become famous by seeing that all Americans got a fair deal. That it would be up to them to establish democracy in America. ALABAMA A. & M. COLLEGE NORMAL, Ala.—The State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, founded forty-four years ago by the late William H. Council, has just closed its forty-four annual exercises. John H. Mcetonico, grand auditor of the Mosaic Templates, delivered the annual address, which was full of sound advice, well worded, and eloquently delivered. We print a portion of it: "Wherever you cast your lot, join hands with the forces that are battling against sin and oppression. Mob violence is so fast destroying the public conscience that public sentiment is rising in righteous indignation and has determined to stop it. Teach our people to respect law and order. Teach them to place such a value upon honor that the weakest black or white woman will be as safe in the wilderness as in the quiet privacy of her home. Have all men understand that whenever any man violates the sacred jewel of womannhood, no matter what his race, we want him angered. We want the judge of humanity we want a judge and jury to send him there. Lynching a human being without a trial is anarchy, treason, is a step to overthrow government by the people and for the people and cannot be defended in the exalted forum of the human conscience—White America, Black America, the hour is at hand that the forces of righteousness must form in battle line, march out and strike lynching the final blow. "Young men and women, these are the great moral and economic questions that confront you—that confront the American people. If they are not faced with fearlessness and unbounded hearts, if they are not answered correctly and positively, we are simply "sowing to the winds"—and some day we must "run the whirlwind". ' The following young people received degrees, diplomas and certificates: Bachelor of arts in education, Miss Callie J. McDonald, Chaiborne E. Johnson and John P. Thomas; normal school diploma, Joseph Gilchrist and John Quill Taylor, P. Lennie Hogan and Zelma C. Jackson; high school diploma, Birdie Inez Porta, Ethel L. Langford, Hastie L. Latham, Emily L. Robinson, Clifford A. Christian, Collee J. Christian, Require Hawkins, Amos J. Hunter, William M. Lowe, John W. Maxwell, James W. Turner, Leon W. Watt; domestic arts diploma, Zeima Jackson, Alain Ouplé and Germain Clark. There were fifty-thine young men and women who received certificates in the different trades. President Walter S. Buchanan reports that in spite of two heavy sieges of influenza, during which time not a single case was lost, he looks upon this as one of the real banner years of the school. BORDENTOWN · INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL BORDENTOWN, N. J.—Nearly a thousand people crowded the campus of the Bordentown Industrial School Friday afternoon, May 30, to witness the commencement exercises, when Colonel Charles Young delivered the commencement address. Not only did people come from different sections of New Jersey, but they also came from Pennsylvania and New York. Colonel Young took his text from the song, "Walking Into Jerusalem Just Like John." He said in the course of his address: "Hate gets you nowhere, love gets you everywhere. You can't walk into Jerusalem just like John, until you can make an honest living in a decent way. Truth, goodness, love and home—words of one or two syllables; but how much they hold. The world is entering into a new era, not simply for the Negro, but for the whole world. Money was the god in the old era. It will never be again. The recent war was a war for spirituality." Wm. R. Valentine, the principal of the school, announced the garden price winners as follows: Hattie Mae Scott, Lillian Johnson, Thelma Nichols, James Armstrong. The first prize for best essay on the school garden was awarded to Marian Miller; the second prize, Berrie Wiley. These prizes were contributed by Edward Collins and N. A. Murray.

The fifth garden prize was given by the Y. W. C. A. of Atlantic City and was solicited by Mrs. Harry P. Anderson. The graduates were Lorena Appleton, Marguerite Bolling, Marie Childs, Alfreida Davis, Paul Davis, Charles Jackson, Lillian Johnson and Eleanor Sanderson. Thursday was Class Day. The procession of the graduating class, led by the school band, the dedicatory exercises at the Girls' Annex and the Samuel Gordon Trades Building, and the planting of the ivy were the features of Class Day. The play, "The Arrowmaker," showed real dramatic talem on the part of the students. The feature of the Junior reception to Seniors was the May pole, wound by twenty-four boys and girls. During the intermission Mrs. Cloa Collins-Lacy of New York, Mrs. Nelle Brooks of Brooklyn and E. Francis Mikell of New York, formerly handmaster of the Old 15th Band, entertained. The commencement opened up Friday morning with the inspection of grounds and exhibits. Then followed the military drill by the boys and the gymnasts by the girls. The guests enveloped the lounge, which was served out of doors. The Rev. Charles Henry Brown of Burlington, N. J., made the invocation, and the Rev. Dr. Harry P. Anderson read the Scriptures. The singing by the school of the Negro spiritual, "I want to Be Ready" and "Walking Into Jerusalem Just Like John," clarified the audience. The demonstrations of milk testing by George Watkins of Mercerville and of breadmaking by Lorena Appleton of Atlantic City and her assistants, all students of the school, were very interesting.

SCOTT SPEAKS AT HOSPITAL DEDICATION New York, NY 10017 (SECTION 10) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses completed its week of dedicatory exercises celebrating the occupancy of its new buildings with a grand rally at Union Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. John C. A. Burry, solicitor to the hospital, presided. Artistic music was rendered by Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert of Detroit and by the choir of the church. The address of the day was delivered by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, who was introduced by Dr. A. B. Jackson, medical director of the hospital. Drew presented work in the Development of Negro Hospitals as Evidence of the Progress of the Race." He displayed an unusual insight into the purposes, duties and accomplishments of hospitals, especially those conducted for and by Negroes. He spoke of the desire of Meryt Hospital to provide an opportunity for colored young women to acquire the necessary training to become professional nurses. He also noted that notwithstanding the fact that Philadelphia appeared to be overcrowded with hospitals, it was a painful truth that by reason of certain racial prejudices, it was necessary to create institutions of our own if our physicians hope to obtain advantages of medical and surgical experience which hospitals provide. The speaker continued by saying: "A hospital, as I see it, has a three-fold mission. It is of fundamental concern to the doctor, the nurse, and to the general public. It gives opportunity to the physician to perfect himself in the intricate science of medicine and surgery, through the manifold character of the cases that are brought to his attention. It enables the young women to acquire a noble profession, and to render the greatest service known to mankind—the saving of precious lives through skilled nursing and applied psychology. "In fulfilling its mission to the general public, the hospital touches every angle of human misfortune. It not only ameliorates suffering of the body and mind, but it teaches better living and instructs the layman in the art of warding off disease through proper preventive agencies. The advance of the Negro in the development of his hospitals is in line with his forward movement in church organization and church architecture, and in all of the professional avenues. It is in keeping with his progress in business methods and in the volume and variety of his commercial activities." The Rev. W. G. Parks, pastor of the largest colored church in Philadelphia, and one of the largest in the country, made the special appeal for the collection, which was liberally answered by cash and pledges.

The petition reads: To the Congress of the United States in Legislature assembled: We the undersigned citizens of the United States represent that colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the right to vote in violation of the Constitution of the United States; that this deprivation of the franchise keeps the colored citizens in a state of slavery and makes their lives and property but things to be taken without due process of law, that this state of affairs causes unhealthy contention between the states and is a reproach to the United States. We therefore, respectfully request that the Congress protect the colored citizens in the exercise of the franchise in all the states by appropriate legislation enforcing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.

The following headlines taken on the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser reveal a fundamental weakness in the local governments in the South: "STATE HAVING HARD TIME COLLECTING CHAUFFEURS' LICENSE. Sheriffs Said to Take Little Interest on Account of No Fees." If an officer sworn to execute the laws of the state that commissions him, shows no interest in enforcing a law, unless it brings him a fee, it can hardly be expected that he would be unduly active in opposing the lawlessness of a mob. Such action besides not earning fees might bring him hard knocks, or at least hard feelings, that would interfere with his continuance in office. This indifference to duty in the matter of enforcing the chauffeeur's law in Alabama is of the same piece as the callous indifference of the Mississippi sheriff, referred to in last week's Age. This official on being notified that a mob was breaking into the jail to lynch a This is more than indifference, it reveals a thorough contempt for the processes of the law by those who should uphold it. FAKERS AND GULLS. There are two classes in every community, one of which could not exist without the other. They may be briefly termed the cheaters and the cheated, or in more modern parlance the fakers and the girls. The easy credulity of the general masses of the Negro race has made them the easy prey of the fakers of both races, and they contribute more than their proper share to the number of the girls. Not only are they easy marks for the numerous "get rick quick" schemes engineered by schening promoters, but their best sentiments are oblidity and self-help are a means of fleeing them by advantage of unscrimpulous to illustrate how this is done. we have only to cite the numerous organizations set on foot ostensibly for some worthy purpose of race benefit, the only function of which turns out to be the separation of hard working members of the face from their hard-earned dollars to enrich the white and black schlurm behind the organization. As a rule, these schleiners avoid the better informed and more intelligent individual, best their plans be subjected to investigation and consequent exposure. The white faker poses often as a wealthy philanthropist, anxious to his colored brother-to rise, but adding that the latter put down stantial stake, so that the pre- d philanthropist may be assured that his efforts are appreciated. Of course a little investigation would show the absurdity of the pretensions of many of this kidney, but the gulls never think of verifying the statements made to them by kind and plausible question of this kind. In many cases these fakers seek and obtain the privilege of speaking to the members of the various colored churches, and thus start their hunt for gulls. The intelligent pastors should beware of these schemers and their tricks. Let no stranger be admitted to the privilege of the rostrum unless his credentials are investigated and his purposes made clear and unmistakable in their meaning. With the number of existing organizations in the field whose purposes are well known and whose management is in the hands of responsible individuals there is no necessity to start new organizations to cover the same field. Freak organizations started by strangers, whether they are of a religious, beneficial or financial character, should be carefully investigated and then given a wide berth. The fakers who promote them and use them as a means of fleecing the too credulous gulls should be held to account and given the utmost penalty of the law for obtaining money under false pretenses. The Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn, had sixty-eight members in the recent war, and its membership now includes nearly 700 men and boys. In addition to its other activities, it is now conducting a special department to look after the welfare of the soldiers, especially as regards employment, insurance, pensions, etc. The branch is doing a good work in the community. When so doughty a fighter as Bishop C. S. Smith, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, issues a call to the leaders of, the race to "close ranks" and halt in breeding dissensions, the emergency must be serious indeed. His reference to the warfare with the American Hum as the task of the present is significant. Bishop Smith can be relied upon to maintain the side of the church militant in the present struggle. Florida has produced a "watermelon king." He is one of the two farmers selected by Tuskegee Institute to receive a certificate of merit in recognition of their success artillers of the soil. The two chosen this year were J. B. McDuffy, of Ocala, Fla., who owns nine hundred acres and is known by the above title, and Timothy Catchings, of Camilla, Ga., who owns one hundred and sixty acres. In these days of advancing food costs, the role of the producer of food products has become of greater importance than ever before. Modern royalty embraces kings of all crops, from cotton to potatoes, with watermelons as a relish. The present Municipal Civil Service Commission of New York City is endeavoring to make civil service popular and of real value to the people interested. It is paying special attention to the needs of the returned soldiers and sailors in the way of enabling them to brush up for the test for examinations. Under a recent ruling, Edward Jackson, a member of the old Fifteenth Regiment, who lost an eye in France, was certified for appointment, notwithstanding his physical disability. The fact that Jackson is a colored man lends peculiar significance to the action of the commission. Jackson had qualified for appointment in 1917, but his military service prevented his acceptance at that time. Numerous communications have been received by THE AGE relating to the fight being made against the assistant superintendent of schools in Washington, as the aftermath of the Moens case. One of the worst features of this case has been the vast flood of scandalous rumors and insinuations set loose, which have been bandied broadcast, sparing none in the mud-slinging campaign. The effort to make the schools and teachers above reproach is a good one, but it needs more than reck- --- VANISHING WAR DREAMS One by one the idealistic war dreams are vanishing; and as they vanish, the solid outlines of the old, pre-war conditions loom up clearer and nearer: The first great disillusionment came with the peace conference. All through the war masses of men and women everywhere were hoping and praying, then believing and predicting that the peace settlement, whenever it did come, would mark the beginning of a new order, of a new world. The hopes and prayers and beliefs of common humanity received a rude shock in the very selection of the peace delegates. All through the war the masses of humanity had been saying: the governments made this war, but the people have fought, it and the people are going to settle it. Yet, when it came to naming those who were to sit around the peace table and decide upon the terms of settlement, the people found that they had nothing to do with it. They found that the old order of diplomats and statesmen were the ones chosen to decide. They found that the governments had made the war and the governments would settle it. Along with the rest of humanity, the Negro in America indulged in a good many war dreams. There were those who had a sort of childlike faith that the war was going to work a miracle for the race; that all we needed to do while our boys were over in France helping to make the world safe for democracy was to buy Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, help in the Red Cross and other drives, keep our mouths shut, and everything would come out all right. Well, the war is over—for the present—and although there has been some shifting of conditions, it is difficult to notice any fundamental change. However, the Negro cannot be blamed for dreaming a bit; the masses of humanity all over the world were dreaming, and they have not yet fully waked up. And then, too, the Negro had some special causes for indulging in pleasant reveries. During the period of those days of doubt, when the country was farthest from knowing how much in men and money the war was going to cost, even the South appeared to be undergoing a change of heart regarding the Negro. Daily tidings came out of Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi and all the other sub-tropical and semi-civilized states of the country telling of the wonderful change being wrongt. The writer made several trips into the South during the time that the United States was actively engaged in the war. On one of these trips he was returning from Quitman, Georgia, where he had been to look into a matter concerned with the lynching of a dozen Negroes, including a woman; at Waycross he had to change trains, and he found a great crowd at the station. He learned that the crowd was there to give a sendoff to several hundred colored conscripts who were leaving for camp. But when he saw white and colored women dressed alike in Red Cross uniforms and serving coffee, sandwiches, candies and cigarettes to these men, he had to rub his eyes to make sure that it was all real. On these trips the writer talked with a number of Southern white men, and he could not help notice how they talked about "our country" and what "we would do to the Germans" and the duty devolving upon "us as Americans." They were certainly making that WE and OUR and US mighty strong. So there is little wonder that glad tidings continued to come up out of Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi. There is little wonder that Negroes had dreams, ranging all the way from passing fancies to prophetic visions, about a new South. But scarcely had the armistice been signed before an honorably discharged colored soldier was lynched in Kentucky for resisting arrest by a constable. Since then, at least, four other colored soldiers have been lynched; some of them wearing their uniforms; one of them because he was wearing his uniform. As soon as it was felt that danger from the war was past, white men in the South began organizing anew the Ku Klux Klan for the openly avowed purpose of keeping the Negro in his place. Today the Negro in the South and all over the country finds himself facing the same old and bitter fight for common justice and fair opportunity. Why is it that these war dreams; not only of the Negro but of humanity the world over, have been dissolving ever since the Germans acknowledged defeat? It is the old, old story; as old as the history of civilization. The people dream dreams of a changed and a better world, but generally without paying any attention to the machinery necessary for making the dreams come true. Those in control dream less muck-raking to accomplish that of the Fifteenth at its formation, result. If there is any substantial basis for the rumored charges, the evidence should be presented to the proper authorities, so that a rigid investigation may establish the facts and place the guilt, if any, where it belongs. would be a substantial guarantee of the quality and fitness of the new organization. Let the gallant survivors lead their efforts to keep the name and fame of the Fifteenth ever fresh and glorious. We won't trust that they join at once. An opportunity is offered the members of the old Fifteenth Regiment, recently discharged from the regular army, to join the Fifteenth next thirty days to ensure the establishment of the Boys' Welfare Guard and thus perpetuate the Club for the benefit of the youth of name and memory of the original that section.

The presence tongue, 2303 Seventh avenue Lot of as many possible times and your dollars the original L. are present, that the all of their intelligence and energy and power in keeping hold of the machinery by which the established order is maintained. Several times in the history of the world the people have got their hands on the machinery, and then they have been able to make some of their dreams come true. A good example of how the powers that be operate is found in the question of government ownership in the United States. Before the war there was a growing sentiment that the great public utilities, the railroads, the coal mines, the telephone and telegraph lines, should be owned by and operated for the benefit of the people. During the war this sentiment increased in strength. When the Government took over these utilities the people felt that the thing desired had been accomplished, and it was heard on all sides that they would never be returned to individual owners for private profit. At present nobody seems to dare to advocate the retention of the railroads by the Government. The powers that control railroads and other great financial engines of the country have been at work until today it is generally admitted as an indisputable fact that government ownership of the railroads is a failure. The entire commercial press of the country has voiced this sentiment, at first indirectly, but now openly and with insistence. Not even is the Administration devoting any special effort to defend government management; of course, the time is approaching when administrations do not care to be in a position hostile to the powers that control railroads and other great financial engines. It is pointed out that government management has resulted in a deficit. That has to be admitted, but private management in normal times has often resulted in deficits. Then, too, no one calls attention to the fact that when the government took over the railroads it began to haul great quantities of passengers and freight free of charge; that is, it began to haul its own soldiers and war supplies almost to the exclusion of everything else. The government was also up against the sudden rise in the cost of labor and equipment. The thing to be considered is not that the government operated the railroads at a loss, but how much greater the loss would have been if they had been, operated through the war by private owners. The truth is, private owners could not have kept the railroads running. Even if the loss is a half billion dollars under government management, the roads are in good condition, and the condition is being constantly improved; under private management it is probable that there would have been, relatively, only a few miles of railroad in the country over which a wheel was being turned at the time the war closed. The Government operated the railroads and kept them in shape when no other agency could possibly have done it; and now since the real hard work is over they are to be turned back. The only fair test of government ownership would be to have the government operate the roads for, say, three years longer, during a normal period. But every day the people read the headed articles in their newspapers which tell about the millions of money that must be taken from the treasury; i.e., the pockets of the taxpayers, to make up the railroad deficit; so they are made to feel less desirous of having the government own the roads or any of the other great utilities. And so the world has been running ever since the beginning of history: the people dream dreams, and the controlling powers keep their hands on the machinery that perpetuates the old and established order. The Negro should learn that he will never be able to make any of his dreams come true until he is able to get his hand on some sort of machinery. Dreams floating around in the air come to nothing; they must be run through a machine to be realized. The machinery for the Negro is organized and united power in all of his efforts for economic, industrial, political and civic advancement. CALL TO CLOSE RANKS. To the Editor of Title New York Arc: Thus trumpeted a 162-word editorial in the Crisis, July, 1918. The blast was sharp, short and awakening. "Let us, while this war lasts, forget our special grievances and close ranks," was the chief note. It was a call to halt—to temporary halt in a demand for the adjustment of long-existing grievances. It was a call to sacrifice. "We make no ordinary sacrifice, but we make it gladly and willingly with our eyes lifted to the hills." Conditions that we "halt" and "sacrifice" are just as weighty in 1919 as they were in 1918—even more so. Halt in breeding dissensions among ourselves, Halt in clutching at each other's throats. Sacrifice the last particle of inordinate desire or solitish ambition calculated to menace race solidarity, in this the most critical period in our history since emancipation. Our warfare with the German Hum has ceased. A warfare with the American Hum is now our task. Do Bois, Moton, Scott Teler, Pickens, et al. CLOSE RANKS BOLSHEVISM AND DEMOCRACY BOLSHEVISM AND DEMOCRACY. While testifying before the Overman Senate Committee, Dr. Simons struck holly horrors into the minds of the listeners when he revealed to them the fact that a Negro, Professor Gordon, is a Cabinet Member in the Bolshevik government. The Soviets know not and recognize not any color line. This is a bitter pill to offer to the prejudice ridden American leader of the Paris conference. The Soviets are cowardly out-throats, cold-blooded robbers, reckless murders, destroyers of the social and political order of the world! To let such ignorantises as Bud Fisher tell it all, the Bolsheviks are of all men the most cruel, irrational and inhuman! Is it because they have the grit to demand their just deserts at the point of the sword? In our next issue, Dear Reader, look for the reproduction of a Bolshevik speech by one of the recognized champions of American liberty and national honor. Space does not permit it in this. Talk about cowardly cut-throats? Look at the record of lynchings in this land. Talk about cold-blooded robbery? Study into the peonage system in the south. Talk about reckless murders? What of Waco, East St. Louis and Memphis? Talk about destroyers of the courts and political orders of the world? Read the records of the courts of the south and study the school system of the south. Russian Bolshevism is like a mid-summer night dream as compared with social Democracy in the Land of the Free! -Indianapolis Ledger. MUSICAL PROGRAM AT HAMPTON INST. HAMPTON, VA.-R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton Institute and well known composer-pianist arranged a successful music festival for the school's commencement week. "O Hara San," a brand-new Japanese operetta in two acts, by Edward Johnston, with a libretto by Edith M. Burrows, was presented in Ogden Hall—the school's new large auditorium—by the Hampton Institute choir, seniors and orchestra. Over two thousand were in attendance. They greeted with enthusiasm the singing and acting of the large cast. The humorous operetta, which is in reality an American opera on a Japanese theme, was staged with excellent lighting and scenic effects. The richly decorated, flowing kimono costumes of the seventy-old well-trained players added to the effectiveness of the opera's presentation. The second evening program of the music festival included Gounod's "Gallia," which was sung by the Hampton Choral Union, a local musical organization, with Rovella E. Hughes of Orangeburg, S. C., as soprano soloist; a recital by Roland W. Hayes of Boston, tenor; and Cowen's "Rose Maiden," which was sung by the Hampton Institute Day School Chorus, with Rovella E. Hughes, Roland W. Hayes, Bessie L. Drew (contralto), and Paige I. Lancaster (baritone), as assisting artists. The accompanist was Helen Elise Dett. Under the direction of William M. O. Tessmann, Hampton's bandmaster, the annual band concert, including string quartette numbers, was given as a "curtain raiser" to commencement week. The program included "Tales of Hoffman" (Offenbach); Schubert's Op. 125, No. 1; Tschaikowsky's "Andanto Cantabile" from Op. 11; Herbert's "Canzonetta" from Op. 12; Meditation from "Thais" (Massenet); and some march and overture music.

"As a Southern man whose forebears were Southern before him, as one who has always counted Lee and Jack in first place of the nation, I dare to believe that the South will be among the first to give the Negro a man's chance to find for him his place in the realization of his highest possible manhood and his highest possibly efficiency." Dr. J. L. Kesler, dean of Baylor University, Waco, Texas, closed his address before the Southern Sociological Congress on "The Challenge of the Present Hour" with these prophetic, brave words, Dean Kesler said: "The human way of helping the Negro to his best is the way out. We must see that he has all that he asks. We brought him here. We enslaved him here. We must give him a man's chance here. He deserves it. He is no alien. He is here to stay. "Until merit shall rule in politics, industry, in life, we shall bear our trust to autocracy to grind in her mills. This is a challenge of democracy. The Negro race and the white race must pull together or we cannot pull a big enough load to build in the South a great community as a part of a great nation." "We first intimidated the Negro. We then cheated him illegally; then he cheated him legally. We have been guilty of crooked politics. I never knows it. We must quit. While justifying shady practices on the ground of the necessity of securing a white man's government, we are bringing in a blacker regime by our own duplicity than black ballots could have ever delivered. We forgive that the moral law ever sleeps and never forgets. "The most outstanding crime - hunging. During thirty-two years, 1855 to 1915, there were about 4000 lynchings in the United States, three-fourths of them in the South. In 1918, for example, some sixty-eight were lynched of which sixty-four were Negroes. "The sentiment is rising and organizing against this hideous savviness and orgy of beastliness. The fight, however, is not over. There is a reasonable number of people who do not belong to the underworld, and who, if they do not openly advocate lynch law—excuse it! They will not bring an offender to justice. They are not moved with moral passion and indignation against it. If they do not start the mob, they follow it, and enjoy as high sport this American diversion. "Such men are not peculiar to the South, though the South has suffered most from their atrocities. Not in the Negro, the only victim, though he has been the chief sufferer. "In condemning mob violence, the criminal is not excused from the laity of his crime. The law, however, must be made supreme; justice should be made more than a word on tongues; and life should be made safe and safe under all circumstances of citement and of emotional stress and storm." Dean Kesler outlined the human aspects of the so-called race problem "Until we think of all citizens as human beings, with human rights, human interests, and human possibilities," he said "until we insist upon equality of opportunity, economic, industrial, education, equality before the law, equal sanity provision, equal protection of personal property; until we play fair and practice into our program for less fortunate individuals and races; until we democratize into our own life as we its splendid hope to the world, we not even in sight of a solution; futility faces our tasks of reform." "Hate, distrust, suspicion are grievous of alienation. Love, confidence, respect alone can build a loyalty and stability for racial, national or international darity and strength. "There is no hope for the South of one-third of its population is to remain undeveloped and inefficient. If the merged third is to remain ignorant, the South will not only fail of one-third its potential life, but the other two-thirds will descend in the scale. "If unsanitary conditions and diseases are allowed to plague one-third of population, the other two-thirds can escape the contagion. No community safe as long as there is one involved spot within it.

One of the most satisfactory statements received by an investigator from the Phyllis Whealey Branch was made by the manager of the Railway Exchange, where thirty-seven colored girls are assembled on elevators and in information booths. The colored girls handle 37,000 persons daily. The manager stated he was pleased with their work and during the six months they have been working there has not been an accident of any kind. The positions were formerly held by white men. Most of the girls belong to the association. The summary of work done by the branch during 1918 follows: One thousand five hundred applications received for work; 1,200 calls received for work; 840 calls filled; 1,000 attended industrial girls' parties; 4,000 attended girls' chubs; 180 talks given at noon in factories; 10,000 meals given in cafeteria, including 700 lunches for school children; 20,000 persons used building.

Dedicated November. 1915. The buildings were delicately November 21-27, 1915, and to St Louis Negroes the event was epochal. Prior to moving into its present home, the branch maintained headquarters at 2042 Pine street, an old mansion donated by Mrs. B. J. Chapman as a social center, which was opened in 1912, with Miss Mary B. Belcher as executive secretary. Prior to going into 203 North Garrison avenue, a spirited $20,000 campaign was conducted from November 21 to 28, 1915, and Miss Eva D Bowles, then national field worker, was called from New York to take charge, which she did most satisfactorily. To Miss Mary B. Belcher, executive secretary from the beginning of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch, is much credit given for the success of the work in St. Louis. With the hearty co-operation of St. Louisans and associates, Miss Belcher labored industriously to make the local Branch a strong, healthy auxiliary that would represent the aims and principles of the parent body, and she succeeded. Miss Belcher is highly regarded at national headquarters, and during the war resigned her post at St. Louis to become a worker in the South Cen- and attended in the summer of the school of Physical Culture and was one of the first to teach special training in.

IN a recent issue of The Evening Sun, D. W. Griffith, who got his real start as a motion picture producer by defaming 12,000,000 loyal Americans, is quoted as saying: "The motion picture will Americanize the world. Its influence has been gradually spreading, until to-day our unconscious propaganda excites the admiration of the nations." "Unconscious propaganda" is a good phrase for the man who produced the "Birth of a Nation" to employ, for the picture so lavishly presented to stir up racial strife and put the colored American in a humiliating and embarrassing position before the world is about the most subtle piece of "unconscious propaganda" the theatre has known. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. (By Bob Blater) Brown & Demont are at the Waldorf, Lynn, Mass. The Boldens are at the Star Theater, New York. Miller & Lyles are at Proctor's, Yonkers, N. Y. Mr. Griffith says: "We see the American man on the screen as a graceful athlete, a great financier or a genius. Always in heroic pose. It is the same with American womanhood. She is represented as the highest type on earth in these pictures that go round the world." But when Mr. Griffith speaks in such glowing terms of the "American man" and "American womanhood" he does not have in mind the colored American. Only white Americans are depicted on the screen as heroes and in dignified roles to command respect and admiration. The motion picture producer does not essay to make heroes out of Negroes. Usually his energies are bent in educating the public to think that all heroes and heroines are of white complexion and that the Negro has a corner on ignorance and buffoonery. Mr. Griffith has taken this "Birth of a Nation" abroad to "Americanize" the world, and a no more sinister emissary of anti-Negro propaganda could be sent across the waters. Thanks to the thousands of colored soldiers from America who, by their gentlemanly deportment during the war, gained the respect and good will of the European people, the film's activities at "Americanizing" will be somewhat curtailed. Although the "Birth of a Nation" was first produced several seasons back, its promoters are still busily engaged in winning over local officials to the Thomas Dixon way of thinking. The Nashville Globe recently complained that while Mayor William Cupton had put a ban on a screen performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," he had on the other hand ignored the petition presented by colored citizens against an exhibition of the "Birth of a Nation." Representatives of the film have been highly successful in making friends with public officials who seem very susceptible to the argument that the picture does not breed racial ill-will. Although D. W. Griffith has been the worst offender in spreading anti-Negro propaganda by means of the motion picture, it cannot be said that he is the only guilty party. It is extremely difficult to get a producer from coast to coast who is willing to give the Negro a square deal on the screen. The average producer goes out of his way to portray the Negro in a servile role, and even when a colored physician or lawyer is shown he speaks a strange dialect conjured up by some white man's imagination. Mr. Griffith speaks of the highest types of our American men and women being represented in motion pictures that are to "Americanize" the world. If Mr. Griffith wants to appear fair and consistent on this subject, would it not be a good idea for him and his associates to occasionally represent some of the highest types of the colored American? Booker T. Washington used to advise his white audiences that a race should not be judged by its worst and lowest types, but by its highest. Unless the motion picture producers of America want to continually distort the truth and wilfully misrepresent a race, it would be well for them to let filter through the screen occasionally pictures showing the highest types of the colored American. If they really are ignorant about the Negro; his culture, education and beauty within the race, then it behooves them to study America and its people before trying to "Americanize" the world.

His tones are well placed and resonant and his style is very pleasing. Mrs. Hare, his accompanist, was excellent. THIRD CONCERT DE LUXE. The third annual concert de luxe, under management of Mme.

Jones in a superb rendition of several songs in English, French and Italian. The children were exceedingly pleasing and it was the unanimous opinion of all present that they were the very best part of the program. Miss Walker, who trained the girla, and the one boy who was there too, deserves much credit. Prof. Adger was at his best, and that is saying considerable. Electrical trouble prevented the rendition of the last number on the organ, much the regret of the audience. The audience was a artificial one, and represented some of the people in the city. The concert was given under the auspices of the Sunday school for the benefit of the educational fund. Miss Spence shows promise of a brilliant future as an elocutionist, and there is no reason to doubt that she will occupy a place at the top in her chosen work. Misa Colea' Dancing Class WASHINGTON, D. C.—Certificates of honor were awarded eight of Miss Cole's pupils for having successively completed her three years' course in dancing and its technique.

Social Camouflage "And yet those two women always greet each other with the most effusive cordiality."

Vodery made the highest mark of any bandmaster attending the school for bandmasters at Chaumont, France; is told by him in a letter to Alex Rogers, which is in part as follows: "As I told you in my last letter, I was admitted to the school, the only 'brother' among forty bandleaders selected out of 162 in the A. E. F. 'These forty were from all parts of the States, quite a few from Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, etc. "The regular fellows from the North were fortunately in the majority, and while the 'commandant' was a Southerner, he was an old army man of twenty-five years service and had to recognize the 98 per cent average I made in the entrance exams. The next nearest was 87 and some points, and the rest of the forty were ranging between 80 and 70 per cent. The mark for admission to the school was 80 per cent. Consequently there were 120 who failed. "After, the first week of the class work, Mr. Cassadesus, a French instructor in instrumentation, selected me as an assistant instructor and I had a class of fourteen, and the 'pecks' happened to be among those assigned to me. It would have done your heart good to have been an invisible spectator. By the end of the fourth week I had everything my way. There are a lot of incidents I could write about. "The course was very carefully laid out and was beneficial to all who were fortunate enough to get one as it will be necessary for all bandleaders to pass the school, commissioned or not, in order to hold a job as bandleader. There were four second lieutenants who did not pass the first examination for admittance. They will be given another trial. "The forty in my class were all first class men. Good character and all of them had from five to thirty-two years army service; so you see what kind of company I was in. "During the eight weeks of hard work I was excused, from harmony and instrumentation. The only class I attended was the conducting class under Andre Coplet, who was the director of the Paris Symphony, and Lieutenant Stoessel, who was conductor of the St. Louis Symphony.* This course was very practical along with plenty of theory. "The final examinations were held and strange to say. I walked away with the honors by making 100 per cent, or excellent plus. There were eight who were commissioned and all the forty graduated. The eight highest were commissioned. I was selected to write the two months' history of the 'class in music. "The bandleaders had a band composed of all the bandleaders with the French instructors on oboe, bassoon and French horns. I held down the cymbals and tympani. "I won a scholarship to the Paris Conservatory, but as the First Army Headquarterers were scheduled to sail April 20, I decided I would come home with the possibility of returning this fall and take the course. When I got back to headquarters the Colonel of the 807th Infantry to which we were originally attached, applied to General Pershing for his band back. Colonel Carel finally won out and orders came for us to come back to the 807th as they had had no entertainment for six months. They would not accept any other band so we are with them once again." No Armistice for Them. "Now that peace is here I'm thinking of the poor beggars who got married to escape the army."—Answers, London.

Forty thousand tourists and health seekers go there annually. We are told that it was famous for its waters during the Roman dominion and has been ever since. In this city, in the cellar of the Hotel Chabert, can be seen part of the old Roman baths. Considering the fact that they are more than two thousand years old, they are in a remarkable state of preservation, now located as sales-alsins what is known as the Thermal establishment baths, one of the finest and most complete bath houses in the world. These baths were built in four sections; the first foundation being laid by the king of Sardinia, Victor Amedes III, in 1270. Museum at Air-ice-Bain The Museum at Aix-les-Bains is an interesting, not only because of the curios, but also because of the fact that it was built onto the walls and foundation of the Temple of Pina, which the historian says was constructed 122 B. C. It must have been a remarkable building, for the foundation is thirteen feet thick and the stones, both in the walls and foundation, are laid without cement. In this city we find an arch built by a Roman gentleman by the name of Pompeius about the fourth century, honors of members of his family. It also is well preserved. Situated across from Aix-les-Bains at Lake Bourget is the wonderful Hintercombe Abbey, long ago the burial place of the Prince of Savoie.

In tittle town on the lake, known as target, is a ninth century chateau, merely a shooting rendezvous of the dance of Savoie.
