The procession, including the graduating classes, the faculty and the alumni of the university, marched from Carnegie Library to the auditorium near Clark Hall. The Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the interior, was the orator of the day. He emphasised the futility of force and colorful acts in the solution of great social and economic questions. The present unrest throughout the land he attributed to the two prominent desire of groups of individuals to get something without work. No enduring success, no real happiness, can be built on a foundation of desire or any get-rich-quick schemes, the speaker said. Bishop Alfred Harding of Washington was the next speaker and declared service to humanity in the loyal need to progress and happiness. He paid a fine tribute to the valor of the colored soldier in the world war and he was proud of the record made by the Negro since emancipation. Music was furnished by a section of the regimental band of the 400th Infantry, and patriotic airs were played at intervals. The Rev. Wather H. Brooks asked invitation and the Rev. A. C.

The entire class stood uncovered as President Durkee solemnly conferred the post-mortem distinction upon their departed fellow student. Four young men were given special mention and honor because of their military service, and financial consideration will be given them by the university that they may later gain the degree they desire.

Girl and Father Pleaded with Mob Not to Lynch Innocent Man But Barbarians were Dont on Murder. JACKSON, MISS.—A reader of THE AGE residing here has just completed an investigation of the recent lynching of a colored man by the name of Clay, at Vicksburg, and as is usually the case, an innocent Negro met death at the hands of white harbarians. Anent the Vicksburg outrage the writer says: "I have been told by responsible colored men that it is generally accepted now that the party who went into the young white woman's room was a white man with whom she had been on intimate terms. The white man had visited the girl and was heard leaving the house when a member of the family called out and wanted to know who was up in the room. Then she screamed. The white man employed a colored chauffeur to bring him to Jackson, the same one who had been men taking the couple for midnight drives, and when, it seems, had driven them earlier on the night of the outrage. The white man got away. "The police went to the chantier's house upon his return to Vicksburg from Jackson and arrested him along with two other colored men, and they were taken to Jackson for 'safe-keeping'. When the chantier told all he knew in connection with the case the authorities turned all three loose and ordered them to leave the country. "The girl failed completely to identify her assailant, and stated positively that Clay was not the man. Her father likewise pleaded with the mob not to lynch Clay, saying he wanted no innocent man killed and that if he found the right party he would need no mob to handle the case for him. But the bloodthirsty violators of the law wanted to murder somebody and put Clay to death. "Since the disgraceful affair five hundred white citizens of Vicksburg have signed a petition condemning the lynching, although nothing has been done to punish the criminals." Y. W. C. A. TO HAVE A MUSIC BUREAU Community singing has come to play such a large part in the program of local Y. W. C. A.'s that the National War Work Council of that organization has voted to start the nucleus of a music bureau which will devote itself intensively to the promotion of community singing, perhaps through the organization of women's choral unions. This music bureau will serve the educational, recreational, religious and pedagry departments of the Y. W. C. A., each of which feels the great value of music in bringing people of every type, age and race together, and that music will be of the greatest help in promoting the ordinary work of their department for girls and women. The Y. W. C. A. will co-operate with all other organizations interested in developing community singing, just as it is co-operating with the Y. M. C. A. in a community singing program in New York City. It is hoped, eventually, to have trained community singers in all of the large cities, who will undertake the organization and training of women's or community choruses. Some work in this respect has already been done in large industrial centers where the Y. W. C. A. has operated Industrial Women's Service Clubs since the beginning of the war, and in large associations.

JUNE DANCE ENTERTAINMENT DE LUXE Manhattan Casino THURSDAY EVE. JUNE 19, 1918 JUNE DANCE ENTERTAINMENT DE LUXE Manhattan Casino THURSDAY EVE JUNE 19, 1919 MEMPHIS BLUES BAND W. C. Handy and Fred M. Bryan, Conduiton GENERAL ADMISSION - 50 CENTS Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson Becomes the Bride of Doctor Wiley Wilson on June 6th With two suitors ardently claiming her hand, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, daughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, obeyed the promptings of her heart and on Friday, June 6, just three days after the burial of her mother in Woodlawn Cemetery, became the bride of Dr. Wiley Wilson, just out of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., as an interne. Rumor has it that Mme. C. J. Walker, on her deathbed, expressed the wish that her daughter marry Capt. James Arthur Kennedy, of Chicago, who saw service overseas in the Medical Corps. It is known to be a fact that several days before her death, when Mme. Walker learned she would not recover, Captain Kennedy was sent for and he made a hurried trip from Chicago to the Villa Lewaro and conferred with the noted hair culturist at length on the matrimonial subject. Friends of the bride say that Mme. Walker sent for Captain Kennedy believing that he was the choice of the then Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, and for this reason was the mother's selection. Members of the household admit that the question supermost in Mme. Walker's mind during her last days was the future happiness of her daughter and was deeply interested in the man Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson was to marry. SOLDIERS' RECEPTION AT CHAMBERSBURG, PA.

Upon her return from Panama Saturday, May 11, Mrs. Little Walker Robinson found Captain James Arthur Kennedy eagerly awaiting her arrival. They had a heart-to-heart call and Mrs. Robinson, evidently made herself perfectly clear, as Captain Kennedy left New York for Chicago either Monday or Tuesday of last week. Quietly Married. Dr. Wilson came to New York the early part of last work, and the couple decided to marry on Mrs. Robinson's birthday, Friday, June 6. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Frank M.

On the following day the couple went to the Villa Lewaro, Irvington-on-Hudson, where the bride took up her abode as mistress, which was in accordance with the desire of her mother.

The main feature was the singing of some old Negro spirals by a choral club organised and trained by Mrs. Page Anderson. Perfect order and discipline. The ladies were resplendent in their beautiful evening gown. Twenty-seven soldiers and 350 colored citizens took part in this celebration. CLEF CLUB HAS ITS USUAL BIG SUCCESS The Clerf Club has no thoroughly established itself with the public that nowadays whenever it gives an affair its success is assured. The only question at issue is as to the degree of success. Last Friday evening at Manhattan Casino more than two thousand persons danced themselves tired and had a general good time. Deacon Johnson added a new and pleasing feature to the program by introducing pictures with a cloud effect, showing Generals Pershing, Foch and Haig, also the late Lieut. James Reese Europe. Instrumental numbers were rendered by the Clerf Club Orchestra under Prof. E. Gilbert Anderson. Carpenter and Fletcher did a woudeville turn which made a hit, as did the singing of the Clerf Club Quartet, composed of Messrs. Waters, Mason, Williams and Taylor. "Tandy" Johnstage, treasurer of the Clerf Club, put in a busy night in the boxoffice. WAKING UP TO NEED DE NEGRO EDUCATION (Special to The New York Acad) COLUMBIA, S. C.—The last Legislature of this State appropriated $72,000 to the State Colored Agricultural and Mechanical College at Orangeburg. This is but one of many signs of a quickening appreciation of the value of better education for Negroes. The Louisiana Legislature has appropriated $25,000 for a new building at the state normal school for colored students to meet $25,000 offered by the general education board; and the state superintendent of education of North Carolina announces as the aim of his department a high school for colored boys and girls in every county of the State. There are already fourteen county training schools for teachers in North Carolina, and seventy-three in the entire South. Last year there were fifty-four and their usefulness was so demonstrated that the county boards of education gave $132,000 for their support against $45,000 by the Jeanes Fund and the general education board combined Commencement Exercises at the Schools and Colleges WILBERFORCE EXHIBIT WILBERFORCE, O.-With the First Educational District of the A.

Scarborough as president, the able address of Dr. Emmett J. Scott and the graduation of one hundred students, the fifty-six annual commencement of Wilberforce passes into history as one of the greatest since its foundation by Bishop Payne. The exercises were attended by a thousand people from all over the State of Ohio and throughout the country. Dr. Scott who, received a degree from Wilberforce two years ago gave his cap and gown. His subject was "Democracy and Education." After paying a high tuition leaders of the great A. M. E. Church as Payne, Allen, Lee, Jones, Colonel Young and Dr. W. S. Scarborough, he made an appeal for more support to Wilberforce and schools of this class. He emphasized that the end of all education was service to mankind.

PETTERSBURG, VA.—The Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute closed its Commencement season on Friday, May 30. The Commencement sermon was delivered by the Rev. W. N. DeBerry, pastor of the Congregational Church of Springfield, Mass. All of the exercises that followed throughout, the week were well presented. On Friday, the last day of the Commencement season, the chapel was crowded with parents, friends, and a few white visitors.

Robinson, The Citizenship of the American Neuro. After awarding the diplomas President Gandy spoke briefly about the success of the school in its activities and contests with other schools through the year. The baseball team only lost two games out of twenty. In the debating contest against St. Paul and Hampton the institute won a unanimous decision in both cases. This gives the Institute a complete victory over her rivals for three consecutive years. In a prize essay contest offered by Prof. Lechard of Howard University, the decision was given to Susie Shepperman, a High School student of the Institute. For some time the school has been getting more applications for students than it has been able to accept. The State of Virginia really looks to the Institute to supply teachers to fill the positions in the rural schools and public schools of the cities. This is being given careful consideration at the present time, and without a doubt new provisions will be made in the near future to meet these increasing needs.

The native gift. of song among. the members of the race was brought forward in a very striking manner in the performance, the extent of the power of development in classical as well as folk song in which the race is so rich having been shown in the highly credible and pleasing manner in which the numbers were rendered. In addition to this, the people who were so fortunate as to the present learned much of the musical compositions given to the world by members of the colored race, the program having been made up almost entirely from such compositions interspersing the folk songs.

J.--Of the 5000 delegates to the convention of social workers here last week, forty were colored. At the session on industrial and economic problems Monday afternoon "The Negro in Industry," proved to be a lively subject. A helpful discussion was opened by Eugene Kinchele Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, who in his address at the Traymore Hotel, said: "With the Negro in industry in his own particular case the task ever before him is that of extending the variety of occupations which he is permitted to enter. Industrially his affliction is a 'vicious circle.' He is afraid to prepare himself for more skilled and selected work for fear he will not get it—and is told that he cannot get it because he is not equal to it. "These are a few fundamental facts that I should like for you to keep in mind during the discussion of this subject: "First, Negroes are listed as engaged in gainful occupations in a larger proportion than the white population because fewer of them, especially women, have sufficient incomes to remain idle. "Second, they are usually employed in the most unskilled and menial labor and are considered 'fresh' when they succeed in getting into a superior type of work or aspire to advancement. "Third, when given an opportunity they can make good, in fact have made good in every line of work they have been allowed to attempt, whether semiskilled or skilled, professional or highly specialized. "Fourth, they secure this opportunity once in a great while; occasionally because employers wish to be fair and just to their men regardless to color—more often, it comes because of a scarcity of white labor and when the pocketbook of the employer is threatened either with a loss or a reduction of profits. "During the war, Negro men, and women, too, have had their largest opportunities in the big industrial plants of the North, due to the departure of immigrant labor, many of whom went into the service of their mother country, or were drawn into the more skilled work which was opened up during the war. The testimony of many of the employers was to the effect that, they found the Negroes rather inexperienced, frequently independable, of a roaming nature—easily tempted to change their places of employment on account of such inducement as small increases in wages, shorter hours and easier work. Very similar to the testimony given throughout the war about white labor. "On the other hand, however, sufficient testimony is available to prove conclusively that the Negro labor on the whole was found to be extremely promising. They were loyal to their employers. In fact, they took proprietary interest in their employers' plants. They were American to the core, and their great advantage was their ability to speak and understand English. They were not easily inflamed against their employers for imagined grievances, and at least they earned what should not have been necessary for them to go so far to merit—real opportunity! "Further testimony discloses that Negro labor is easily managed—no more easily. I should say, than the average American laborer, but easily managed if a touch of human kindness is mingled with the spirit of justice and fair play, which means that the men are given a reasonable wage, hours and conditions of labor that are human, and an opportunity to advance in their work."

One of the most pressing duties incumbent upon the Negro in the United States is the making of employment for the members of the race in the process of catering to their own needs. There is need for more producers in the essential industries, more dealers, both retail and wholesale, in the distribution of the necessities of existence. With this service of production and distribution handled by members of the race, the opportunities for permanent employment would be multiplied and the ambitious youth of the race would have an incentive to prepare for business careers, with the prospect of earning a legitimate livelihood. In the line of production individual members of the race have made good, especially in farming and the raising of cotton in the South and West. We hear of successful farmers enrolled in the realm of agriculture as cotton kings, potato kings, and even a watermelon king was recently discovered in Florida. Many of the manual training and agricultural schools are doing good work in encouraging the rising generation to devote their efforts toward the raising of food stuffs along the most approved modern methods. Progress can readily be noted along this line of endeavor. But when it comes to the distribution of the fruits of the soil and the manufacture of the common articles of commerce, there is a great deal yet to be accomplished. Farmers in some sections, notably in North Carolina, have realized the benefits of cooperation in marketing their products and purchasing their fertilizers, and other supplies, and progress is being made to this extent. Some towns even possess thriving business establishments for the sale of shoes, dry goods and other staples. A beginning has been made, sufficient to establish the feasibility of making employment within the race for many of its members. If so much can be accomplished along these lines in the smaller cities of the South, it would seem that the Negro colony in Harlem, with over 100,000 population to be applied with all the necessities of modern civilization, should make a greater showing in the line of progressive business enterprises. While considerable has been done already in self-development, it has mostly been along the lines of personal service and in the professions: Physicians, dentists, lawyers, real estate agents, barbers, beautifiers, restaurants, cafe proprietors, and similar trades and professions, have established a profitable clientele and afforded employment to a number of the race. One men's furnishing goods store shows what might be done in catering to the necessities of the race in the way of clothing. These should be more of such establishments furnishing the staple stocks of clothing and provisions to all within their immediate vicinity. There is no need to label them." Colored," but let them be prepared to furnish the sort of goods the com- munity demands, on as good terms and with as efficient salesmanship as others in the vicinity. The treasure still lies buried in the "gold mine of Harlem," but it requires the skillful and persistent miner to develop the lead. Let those possessed of selling ability and some capital undertake the development. BETTER PREACHING. A few months ago The Age had occasion to refer to the demand among the laymen of the various churches for a more constructive policy among the clergy in the matter of racial development. A letter from a layman, published in the Light of Columbia, S. C., emphasizes this demand and specifies some defects in the country churches of that section, which undoubtedly apply to other localities. This critic, after declaring that ignorance is one of the greatest curses to humanity, says: We have too much "hallieijah" preaching in the country church, too much time spent in telling us how we will sit down by our Saviour; how we will walk the golden streets, trying on our long white robes, golden slippers, and gold waist bands. After expressing regret that so few of the young men that have gone through the colleges in the past twenty-five years come back to help in the work, this writer sets forth the things that the country preacher might do. Why don't he teach his people that God is a spirit, and he that worships Him must do in spirit and in truth. Why don't he teach his people that there is no religion in so much screaming and jumping, but religion consists in right living only. Why don't the country preacher teach his people to build better school houses to educate their children in, to contribute some of the countless thousands they are spending in riding over the roads on Sundays in automobiles, while their children are groping in ignorance, and many of them half naked and hungry? Why not tell them the good of longer terms, and how to get them? Why don't he tell them something about the sanitary conditions around the home? Why don't he advise his people to buy homes, to educate their children and prepare for better citizenship? Why don't he teach his people that it's better to be with one man in right than with ninety-nine wrong? Why don't the country preacher co-operate with the prosperous class of the people of his community so that all would proper thereby? Why don't he teach them to copy the example of his brother or neighbor that has, and is succeeding? We have quoted this critic at this length because of the lively appreciation he shows of the role that the preacher should play in the development of the race. The whole letter shows that the laity is progressing and demands equal progress on the part of the preacher. It also denotes the absolute necessity for character and efficiency in the ministry, if it is to maintain the great influence that it has hitherto exerted in the Negro race. While the letter referred especially to the country preacher, the same line of criticism would apply to his city brother, who has failed to keep up with modern development along religious lines. A TEXAS STATESMAN. One of the arguments used against woman suffrage in Texas was the statement that "Woman suffrage is a northern idea, fostered largely by those who believe a Negro is as good as a white man." The sponsor for this statement was James E. Ferguson, former governor of Texas, who was removed from office through impeachment proceedings. Nevertheless, this discredited official posed as the author of a double column advertisement in a Fort Worth daily, in which he announced he was "Agin em all—the amendments—Remember the Alamo." The strongest argument he could present against the suffragists was the following appeal to race prejudice: When Susan B. Anthony died, we are told in her biography, written by her friend, that Carrie Chapman Catt and Dr. Anna Shaw, who has been making speeches in Texas for suffrage, marched side by side with "MRS. R. JERROME JEFFREY, A NEGRO WOMAN, WHOM MRS. ANTHONY'S EI- VIEWS and REVIEWS THE PARADOXICAL SOUTH. It is curious to study the South out of the Negro questions taken by the white South puzzling to any one not familiar the white South may take on upon just one point. For example; the white South Negro is incapable of rising, caution to keep him from rising, cautions to keep down a people is that the declaration to strengthen the precautions. Then we have the old and old "the great gulf between the radiation of the world." And we horrent the mere thought of an arn white people. Yet, on there is an anti-intermarriage abhorrence and physical averses the blacks there would be no cause colored men and women men unless there was mutual talk about "the great gulf, etc., the Negro as a human creature ening these laws.

Then came the war, and the decided to leave the South and no expense to the white people peaceably and quietly and to a people of the South did not wipe Negro easily and cheaply; on objections to his going, even to force and the sheriff's possse. Of course, anyone who knows that it does not want to keep him, but it wants to keep. Only recently the Memphis column and a half of its editorial.

The Commercial Appeal is a good ex- box into which the race question thru the white South. Here is a leading n It is curious to study the various paradoxes which arise in the South out of the Negro question. Many of the contradictory positions taken by the white South on the race question would be very puzzling to any one not familiar with the fact that whatever position the white South may take on the race question, its eyes are fixed upon just one point. For example; the white South lays down the declaration that the Negro is incapable of rising, then it adopts every possible precaution to keep him from rising. It would seem needless to take precautions to keep down a people incapable of rising. The explanation is that the declaration that he cannot rise is put out merely to strengthen the precautions taken to keep the Negro from rising. Then we have the old and oft repeated Southern doctrine about "the great gulf between the races fixed by the Creator at the foundation of the world." And we have the statements as to how abhorrent the mere thought of any mixing of the two races is to Southern white people. Yet, on the statute books of every Southern state there is an anti-intermarriage law. It would seem that with innate abhorrence and physical aversion on the part of the whites against the blacks there would be no need of anti-intermarriage laws, because colored men and women could not marry white women and men unless there was mutual consent. The explanation is that the talk about "the great gulf, etc." and the difference and inferiority of the Negro as a human creature, is only for the purpose of strengthening these laws. A similarly paradoxical position was taken by the white South on the very presence of the Negro in that section. All along we have heard that the only thing that kept the South from being another Garden of Eden, another paradise, was the presence of the Negro; that he was the bane, the blight, the curse of the land. Various plans have been seriously discussed to rid the South of its great "incubus", colonization, exportation, annihilation and several other "ations." Then came the war, and thousands upon thousands of Negroes decided to leave the South and in a way that would cause no trouble or expense to the white people there; that is, they decided to leave peaceably and quietly and to pay their own way. But the white people of the South did not welcome this chance to get rid of the Negro easily and cheaply; on the contrary, they made strenuous objections to his going, even to the extent of calling out the police force and the sheriff's posse. Of course, anyone who knows anything at all about the South knows that it does not want to get rid of the Negro; it wants to keep him, but it wants to keep him on its own terms. Only recently the Memphis Commercial Appeal, devoted a column and a half of its editorial space to an article on Negro migration. It reviewed the movement which took place in 1916 and 1917 and minimized the extent and the importance of the exodus. The Commercial Appeal placed the number of Negroes who went north from all parts of the South at 200,000. We do not think there is any way of getting at the exact number of Negroes that left the South during the exodus, but there is every reason to believe that the Commercial Appeal's figures are too low; some estimates have placed the figures as high as 750,000. The Commercial Appeal also has great emphasis on the number of Negroes who have returned to the South. It rather gloats over some figures which it gives regarding the number of Negroes who have been turned out of northern plants and replaced by white men, and it does so in a spirit which indicates the belief that all of these replaced Negroes will return to the South. This article in the Commercial Appeal is a good example of the quagmire of paradox into which the race question throws the brain and the heart of the white South. Here is a leading newspaper try- OGRAPHER DESCRIBES AS "A WOMAN OF HIGH EDUCATION AND INFLUENCE." Listen again to Carrie Chapman Catt, when she says: SUFFRAGE DEMOCRACY KNOWS NO BIAS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED OR SEX. I wonder if these good ladies in Texas knew all this when they were parading Anna Shaw recently around Texas. Whether they did or did not, the fact remains that the woman suffrage campaign in Texas has been launched in Texas with Dr. Anna Howard Shaw as the chief spokesman and I. Jas. E. Ferguson, now charter that this same Dr. Anna Howard Shaw has associated with Negroes as her social equals. "All counts look alike to me." You can go to the polls and vote for woman suffrage if you want to, but I want you to know the history of the crowd that is leading your campaign in this country. The low state of civilization and poverty of statesmanship to which the South is reduced may be gauged by the fact that the author of this demagogic appeal was once governor of the great State of Texas. That he was removed from office on the score of unfitness may mitigate the offence, but it is no guarantee that he may not regain power again. That he is totally unfit to hold any public office of trust is proved by this culminating indecency in his appeal: Carrie Chapman Catt, the head of the woman suffrage movement in this country, says "Suffrage democracy knows no bias of color, color, creed or sex." Then, if suffrage should carry in Texas, the first thing they will want to do is to沾沾ish the separate coach law in Texas. Your wife, sister or daughter will be riding side by side with various paradoxes which arise in the situation. Many of the contradictory positions on the race question would be very clear with the fact that whatever position in the race question, its eyes are fixed on South lays down the declaration that given then it adopts every possible precursor. It would seem needless to take place incapable of rising. The explanation that he cannot rise is put out more easily to keep the Negro from rising soft repeated Southern doctrine about races fixed by the Creator at the fourteenth have the statements as to how many mixing of the two races is to South statute books of every Southern state law. It would seem that with innaction on the part of the whites against need of anti-intermarriage laws, he could not marry white women and consent. The explanation is that the "and the difference and inferiority of" race is only for the purpose of strength. Position was taken by the white South Negro in that section. All along with that kept the South from being a mere paradise, was the presence of the blight, the blight, the curse of the land, usely discussed to rid the South of its exportation, annihilation and severance. Thousands upon thousands of Negroes in a way that would cause no trouble; there; that is, they decided to leave pay their own way. But the white welcome this chance to get rid of the contrary, they made strenuous to the extent of calling out the policy shows anything at all about the South to get rid of the Negro; it wants to him on its own terms. This Commercial Appeal, devoted all space to an article on Negro migration which took place in 1916 and 1918, the importance of the exodus. The number of Negroes who went north 10,000. We do not think there is any number of Negroes that left the South is every reason to believe that the are too low; some estimates have 10,000. The Commercial Appeal also number of Negroes who have returned to some figures which it gives regard to have been turned out of northern men, and it does so in a spirit which these replaced Negroes will return. Social Appeal is a good example of the race question throws the brain. Here is a leading newspaper try- either a nigger wench or a buck nigger—or they may have to ride between both. The decent citizens of Texas should keep this ex-Governor in the deepest seclusion that private life affords. This week was observed as Boy Scout week, with mass meetings and parades to extend the membership of, the organization. This movement has attained much popularity among the boys and has done much to develop them in the qualities of manliness and self-reliance. Its extension in many communities has been on broad lines, without discrimination as to race or color. 1. For several years past, a movement has been on foot, fostered by the Presbyterian Church North, to bring about a union of all the denominations of the Presbyterian faith in the United States. The report of the Committee in charge of this movement, showed that all of the denominations manifested a willingness to work for organic union, except the Presbyterian Church South. The latter seemed only willing to form a loose federation. It is evident that the Negro membership in the Northern Church has something to do with the South's decision. The standing of the Negro in the General Assembly that net recently at St. Louis was attested by the presence of some thirty-five commissioners of that race and the pronouncement of the Assembly against lynching. ing to express itself intelligently and logically, trying to place itself favorably in the light of modern, enlightened thoughts; and yet feeling itself compelled to cling to the ideas and speak the language of that South which means to keep the Negro down. The result is something worse than pathetic. After quoting the following causes among those which influenced Negroes to leave the South: "low wages, poor houses on plantations, poor school facilities, rough treatment, cruelty of law officers, unfairness in courts and lynching," the Commercial Appeal goes on to say: It is not to the credit of northern manufacturers and employers of labor to record that they sought an exploit for their own social advantage whatever of discontent there was among southern Negroes. Can you beat it? It was wrong for northern manufacturers and employers of labor to offer the Negro-the inducements of good wages and a place to work where he would have equal school facilities for his children and would not be subjected to unfairness in the courts and to lynching. After mentioning some steps which it feels the South should take in order to stop the Negro hegira, the Commercial Appeal adds: There is no doubt but that the Negro would prefer to remain in the South. Climatic conditions alone would influence his choice. Besides this he realizes when all is said and done that the southern white man is his best friend. We often wonder if this quagmine of paradox gets so deep and boggy that sane Southern white men believe such statements when they make or hear them. Do sane Southern white men really believe that the Negro prefers to remain in the South, and that he considers the Southern white man his best friend? Well if they do, we are sorry for them; they need to wake up. The Negro remains in the South because he is economically chained to the South, the North has never, up to the outbreak of the war, given him a chance to earn his bread. As soon as the North did give him the opportunity he left the South and kept on leaving as long as the opportunity called him. Any reasons that the white South can give for believing that the Negro considers the Southern white man his best friend would make interesting reading; we should like to see a list of them. The Commercial Appeal ended its effort to steer between enlightened thought and dominant Southern opinion with the following paragraph: The criminal Negro is not wanted back in the Southland, and he will not be tolerated here. Those of the race, however, as are willing to abide by the laws and regulations of the South can have a home here. It will be no more than just to assure them that if they obey the law they will be protected by it. "Those of the race, however, who are willing to abide by the laws and regulations of the South can have a home here." We are supposed to know what the laws are, but what about these "regulations"? There is where the trouble lies, in these regulations. These regulations are solely for the Negro, and mean that a Negro must stay in a "Negro's place." Furthermore, "It will be no more than just to assure them that if they obey the law they will be protected by it." At first reading that might sound like a fair and just proposition, but it is not. Law in a civilized country protects not only those who obey it, but also those who violate it. What civilized country in the world goes on the theory that because a man violates the law, he forfeits its protection? The South goes on that theory, so far as the Negro is concerned, and just for that reason the South cannot be considered a civilized country. In the South a black man who kills a white man forfeits the protection of the law, and he may be taken by a mob and shot or hanged or even tortured with red-hot irons and burned alive. In a civilized country a man who kills another is still protected by the law; he is protected from private or mob vengeance, and he is guaranteed a fair trial before a jury of his peers, and provided with counsel for his defense, in case he himself is not able to provide it. In the South the law must be made to protect Negroes who violate it as well as Negroes who obey it; only in that way can all Negroes be secure in their legal rights; for after all, who is to tell that a man has violated the law but the law itself? The South must get out of this quagmire of paradox before it can know the truth and be able to express it. MINISTER MAKES To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I am sending you this brief article concerning the Rev P. K. Fonville, of Auburn, N. Y., with the hope that you will give it space in your valuable organ. Rev Fonville is pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church of that city. He has been in Auburn for about five years and has made himself felt by "all of the people." He is a factor in matters other than those pertaining to the church life of the community. He has concerned himself actively with the civic and social betterment of the whole people. Particularly, he has been active with organization among the white people for the civil and social betterment of the city and for the religious nature. He is so retaliatory to the minister of association, which is made up of white ministers, he being the only exception. He is also the only colored member of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce, an organization of some twelve hundred members. Through his influence a regular annual concert is given in the State prison at Auction by and for the colored prisoners. In addition to the prisoners, persons from civil life help make up the program for the entertainment and education of the colored inmates. As a result of his activity in this direction he has been awarded the Mutual Welfare Medal and was appointed chaplain for the prison, but because of the failure of the legislature to make an appropriation for this position, the appointment has been confirmed. Req. that he has been active in crystallizing public sentiment in favor of establishing a community center for the colored people. As a result property has already been purchased for a settlement house and is now being equipped for social settlement work. During his pastorate in Auction the Harriet Tubman Home, an institution founded by Harriet Tubman and operated by the A. M. E. Zion Church for the aged and infirm, has paid off its mortgage indebtedness that it had carried for twenty years and has borne the mortgage. It is now free of debt. He is at the present time settling the estate of Mrs. Elizabeth Dale, which will go to the home as an endowment fund, Rev. Fonielle, a member of the General Conference and is a candidate for the editorship of the Sunday School Literature of the General Church. All of his friends, who know his abilities, say he is the man for the job. Rev. Fonielle assisted me greatly in getting a lunch with some of the influential white men whom I wanted to interview in connection with the work of the Department of Negro Economics my recent visit to that city. He is worthy of these words of commendation, and I am glad to testify as to the influence he is wielding for God and humanity. JESSE O. THOMAS, State Supervisor of Negro Economics.

It is as plain as the noise on Uncle Santa Jane that if the League of Nations can take up the Irish question in the British lake it can take up the Negro question in America. It is as plain as daylight that if the representatives of one race can bring its troubles to the League of Nations the representatives of another race can bring its troubles to the League of Nations and it is as plain as a pike-skiff that if the interferences in the internal affairs of the nation nothing on earth will stop them interfering in the internal affairs of another nation. Now if the Irish question is linked with dynamite, the Negro question is linked with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many person may not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. Inside the United States and outside the United States everybody knows that the political situation in Negroland in the South is brutally, openly and in the Illegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and this violation of the Constitution is tolerated with the full knowledge of a large majority of the white population of this country, North or South. Here is another matter for Southern statesmen who conceive the League of Nations to be a harmless debating society to consider: In the far flung British Empire there are millions and millions of black men, many of them educated and able students of public affairs. It is not inconceivable that among them are leaders who in the event of the formation of the League of Nations will utilize it of their own motion to stir up the public for the United States over the Question; and it is not inconceivable that should the United States manifest a desire to bring the Irish question before the League of Nations or to support interference in British internal affairs, and those black men displayed no disposition to bring our Negro problem before the international superstate, some Britons would find a way to stimulate them to undertake such an enterprise. FARMERS ACTIVITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA SALISBURG, N. C.—The Piedmont Credit Union of Landis, N. C. holds its annual meeting January 22. At which time the officers for the ensuing year were elected. All the old officers were reelected to serve through the year 1919. Receipts from new stock holders, fees, interest and other payments, this meeting, making a total business for the month $581.33. There are eighteen credit unions in the State only one of which is operated by colored people. District Agent L. E. Hall, who has charge of all the colored agents in the State, and Captain Avery, recently returned from France where he was cashed, were present and spoke to the farmers. Captain Avery held his first meeting of so many of his experiences while in France, Mr. H. L. address, "A 1919 Schedule for Farmers" was greatly appreciated. Two new farmers clubs were set up during the latter part of January; one near Enochville and the other in District No. 7, Franklin Township. The organization of the Enochville Club was the very largely to the teacher in that district, Mrs. Mattie Lyerly. Rowan farmers are learning to co-operate the master of buying farm equipment, oak trees and cane loads of fertilizer have been ordered for spring use for the thirteen clubs in the County. This co-operative saving many dollars to the farmers. John Perkins, one of our able farmers, who did some demonstration work the past season, succeeded in raising an average of 41 bushels of corn per acre on four acres of upland. This was Mr. Perkins first try at demonstration work. The citizens of Salisbury have formed an educational association to work for the school facilities for the school of the children. The school buildings are greatly needed to house the many children of the city. Plans are under way for the establishment of a Federal Farm Loan Association in Rowan County. It will be a boon to farmers in debt and those strangling to own farms. When properly organized, the Government will loan to farmers for farm purposes for not less than five, nor over forty years. The difference between the Farm Loan and the Credit Union is that the farmer a long time loan and the latter a short time loan ranging from three months to a year.

WALTON American race prejudice was given its superficialities and in- sightly obvious than on the transpa- ge brought two thousand officers Dr. R. R. Moton and party. American race prejudice was never robed in a more ludicrous garb nor its superficialities and inconsistencies never made more strikingly obvious than on the transport Canada which some few months ago brought two thousand officers and men from overseas, including Dr. R. R. Moton and party. When the Canada left Liverpool it had on board three colored civilians and less than one hundred officers. It was at first where as many officers and men as the ship could accommodate them under the command of a captain who had been made embarkation three and put in full charge of the Canada so far as relating to military matters. Even the two majors commanded with the medical branch of the crew were subject to his authority. Days out at sea after leaving Dr. Moton and I, while eating got a good view of the embrassation officer, who was seated at the ship captain's table. Then we looked at each other knowingly, but said not imagine the race problems and embarrassments that would have followed. Were Number of His Regiment. Southern people claim they always can tell a colored man from a white man. They failed to do so on the Canada. I heard some referring to the embarkation officer as having Indian blood in his veins, which was done to make amends for his swarthy complexion. What mystified me was the failure of some on board to associate Capt. Morgan with a colored regiment, as he at all times proudly wore the number of his regiment on his collar. Capt. Joseph L. Morgan was not the only Negro on the Canada generally looked upon as a Caucasian. On the Two days later, while Dr. Moton and I were in the salon engaged in conversation, the ambarkation officer came in and sat just across from us. He acted like one seeking an invitation to join him and Dr. Moton remarked to me: "I believe he is colored." I then told him of my suspicions, explaining to the host of Tuskegee Institute that I had talked with this officer as I had with others, not wanting to embarrass him in any way. Just two days before reaching Booth Harbor I walked into the salon an afternoon looking for Dr. Moton, and there I spied him and the ambarkation officer in friendly discussion. I stopped suddenly, but Dr. Moton called me over to be introduced. I was informed that the captain was "one of which was no big surprise to me." It seems that the address made the mail before by Dr. Moton to the officer asking for a square deal for colored Americans had so affected the emigration officer that he could not retain himself longer from making his identity known. He fully intended to talk with us when the transport reached Boston Harbor, declaring he just had to "mix" with his own people and could not wait longer. The officer gave his name as Capt. Joseph L. Morgan, commander of Command of the 300th Infantry, the old Illinois. Before his regiment was entered into Federal service he was employed in the Department of Labor in Springfield, Ill. Capt. Morgan, who was one of the oldest members of the South Illinois, told us he had been invited twice while in the trenches, having come to Nice and other resorts to recuperate he had sent to Brest and put in charge of kled if his superior officers knew a colored man when they made tarkation officer on the Canada, replied: "I suppose so; and know the 300th Infantry is instrument." of the trip Dr. Moton walks with Capt.

On the evening the transport anchored in Boston Harbor a young man timidly knocked at the door of Dr. Moton's stateroom, and when invited to come in introduced himself as a former student at Tuskegee. He had seen service with a white regiment, had been injured and was returning to the United States a casual. Then the young man went below and brought back another colored boy who was also known as white. There were at least three colored Americans in our midst who were 'passing' for white. There is no telling how many more on board were doing the same thing. Had either of the three voluntarily admitted his racial identity excitement would have been intense at sea. Consternation over possible contact with the Negro is a hallucination. We are told that hallucinations are always evidences of cerebral derangement and are a common phenomena of insanity. Who is to be pitied most under the circumstances? TRENTON, N. J.—Through the efforts of Lieut. H. C.

THE STAGE MUSIC ATHLETICS Motion Pictures Make Big Hit With Africans Says "Y" Worker HOW the natives from the interior of Africa, who had never before seen a motion picture, broke into shouts of laughter at the antics of Charlie Chaplin on the screen and wanted to buy a moving picture machine to take back with them to their tribe for speculative purposes; how they scorned the European tooth brushes but bought freely of soap; how they took kindly to association football but failed to show any interest in Rugby, are some of the interesting stories brought home by Thomas H. Lloyd, who has just returned from two years' Y. M. C. A. work among the natives serving with the British Expeditionary Forces in East Africa. The carriers from Capetown, the natives from Uganda, men from the East coast and from the gold coast, boys from the mission schools—all were reached by the Red Triangle, and all eagerly grasped the opportunities the "Y" offered for recreation and education. Mr. Lloyd says. The Y. M. C. A. secretary, who is himself of West Coast African stock was formerly a student at Howard University, Washington. He found that when he first arrived at Dar-es-Salam, the capital of the German colony and headquarters of the British forces, before he could work effectively he would have to master the Isawihili language. The tongue of the Kiswahili tribe is one which missionary and government agencies are endeavoring to establish as an intertribal language, and it is fast becoming one of the best understood by natives of widely separated tribes. The carriers which are attached to the British military forces in great numbers and bear sixty-pound burdens on their heads through the narrow jungle paths and along the newly opened roads represent the common labor class. Mr. Lloyd says. 2. First Award by Motion Pictures While at Dar-es-Salam the Y. M. C. A. working in native huts gave cinema shows for the natives, who viewed the pictures with awe at first and insisted on examining both sides of the screen in the expectation of discovering the living figures. When they had satisfied themselves that there were no persons moving about on either side of the screen they would give up trying to solve the mystery of the films and content themselves with the exclamation "Oh, the brain of the European!" but after their first wonder was over they managed to get about as much enjoyment out of the "live pictures" as an average European audience. "The comedy films, especially those depicting Charlie Chaplin," says Mr. Lloyd, "amused them vastly. They would roar with laughter at a picture that showed a man falling from a high building. Everything that Charlie did was funny, and they would chatter away excitedly after the picture was ended, telling the story over and over again like children and laughing at the recollection of the funny situations. "One of the natives from Uganda wanted to buy a moving picture machine and open up a cinema show in Uganda, but he feared that he could never make the apparatus work. I showed him how simple it was and explained that I had already trained several motion picture operators and that he could get a machine through the 'Y,' but the price proved prohibitive. There is a big field in Africa for the movie men, but I am afraid that it will be some time before it is developed. "We had some educational films with us on health subjects. Those that dealt with tuberculosis, its prevention and cure, were very well received by the natives. They appeared to understand them, especially the Ugandans, and to take the lessons to heart. "We ran a canteen, of course, and found that the natives were eager purchasers of candy and cigarettes. They would occasionally buy a toothbrush, but these, were not much in demand, as most of them preferred to clean their teeth in the native fashion—with a twig which they fashioned into a crude brush by chewing. But, to tell the truth, I think they were more conscientious in the regular use of this sort of a brush than many of the European soldiers who had manufactured brushes. "At the night schools we taught reading, writing and arithmetic. I found that I could teach the carriers the elements of addition and simple subtraction in about two months' time, and that was about as long as we would have any one pupil under our supervision. We had Bible classes, and it is surprising to find how large a proportion of the natives are Christians. These classes were well attended and, of course, conducted in the native language. Successful in European Sports. "We had some success introducing European sports. The natives enjoyed football, only found it a bit too strenuous. They were likely to leave the field unexpectedly and go to sleep under the trees. Baseball didn't appeal to them at all. Finally, we got a league organized that did much to establish an entente cordiale between the various native detachments. We put up prizes and the competition waxed keen. We had one team made up of the crew carriers—the least advanced of any of the laborers; another of the gun carriers, who had had some special training and who transported the machine guns and machine gun parts; the Cape boys, and the Ugandans. The Ugandans are skilled players, and in two games against teams picked from the British troops they managed to win one and tie the other. Sometimes we would have 300 natives on the field at once kicking the football around without any particular regard lo rules. Later we got the teams organized and they played regular games in good order." Mr. Lloyd was sent abroad by the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., co-operating with the National Indian Council of the Association. His work was so much appreciated that for a time he was borrowed by the British military authorities to act as housemaster at a railroad school they had established and where a large number of natives were being instructed not only in railroad construction but in the elements of arithmetic, gardening and horticulture.

TWO MOVING PICTURE THEATRES IN PETERSBURG PETERSBURG, Va.-Peterburg is to have two new moving picture theaters. One is being erected on South avenue by a company of which Alex. Farley holds the controlling interest, and another is going up on Harrison street, near Halifax, with Wm. Wilkins as owner and proprietor. Mr. Wilkins is a native of North Carolina and is an established business man of Petersburg. His theater is nearing completion and he hopes to open it on July 4. It occupies the site of the old Joe White cook shop. The theater will be an ornamental brick structure, 150 feet deep by 50 feet front, accommodating about 600 people. One store will occupy a part of the frontage. The value all told is about $15,000. The building of these theaters is regarded as a step in the right direction by the colored people. They will fill a crying need. Captain Harry Mills and his wife, Mrs. Ora Mills, returned from a visit to his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., last Friday. Mrs. Mills was Miss Ora Wilkins of this city.
