CHURCH COUNCIL FOR EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY Have Racial Conditions Improved in South? Racial Situation a Challenge --- Old Abuses Still Prevail in Many Parts of Louisiana and Texas. Various commissions promoted by white employers of labor in the South have been visiting Northern labor centres with the view of inducing those Negro laborers who have come North during the past few years, to return South to fill the demand for labor in that section. One of the arguments used to urge these laborers to return is the statement that the former conditions which caused their migration have changed and they can now live in peace and prosperity.

CHURCH Have Rac NEGATIVE ANSWER Old Abuses Still Prev Louisiana an Various commissions promoted the South have been visiting North of inducing those Negro laborers w past few years, to return South to section. One of the arguments used is the statement that the former con- tion have changed and they can now To test the truth of this statement, an investigation was prosecuted along these lines by a representative of THE Age in EPISCOPAL LAYMEN TO MEET AT DETROIT The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an organization of laymen in the Episcopal Church whose sole purpose is the spread of Christ's Kingdom among men. It was founded by James L. Houghteling, a Chicago banker, in 1883, and grew out of his Bible class. The Brotherhood is organized in Chapters throughout the Episcopal Church, and its definite fulfilment of its purpose is the organization of Bible classes, the conducting of church attendance campaigns, work in Sunday schools and missions, visiting in Sunday schools and missions, visiting in and taking part in all church activities, with the special emphasis on personal service of a religious kind. The Brotherhood holds an annual convention which has come to be the largest annual gathering of men in the Episcopal Church. This year's Convention will hold in Detroit, Michigan, from Wednesday, October 1st, to Sunday, October 1st. Inclusive. The Convention will be one week before the opening of General Convention, which is the church's legislative body; and many of the problems to come before the General Convention for solution will be formally discussed at the Brotherhood gathering. St. Philip's Parish in Harlem hopes to send two or more delegates to said convention, Clarence W. Robinson and his wife to represent St. Philip's Chapter. All chapters in active co-operation with the Brotherhood are entitled to representation. BROOKLYN BIG SISTERS WANT HOME FOR GIRLS Members of the Colored Big Sister club of Brooklyn made application for the incorporation of a home where col- ored girls of tender years, charged with juvenile delinquency or improper guardianship, could be received pending an adjustment to better home con- ditions, at the meeting of the State Board of Charities. Mrs. M. B. Trotman, one of the would-be incorporators, said there was great need of such an institution in Brooklyn to save juvenile delinquents from being sent to institutions where they would have to consort with crimi- nals. The home, she said, would seek to improve the condition of colored girls after their discharge from probation, and do social uplift work generally among the colored people of New York City. Commissioners Lee K. Frankel and J. Richard Kevin inquired of Mrs. Trot- man how much the club had available for the establishment of such a home in case her application was granted. She acknowledged that they had made efforts as yet to raise funds and only about $75. The commissioners than advised Mrs. Trottman to withdraw her application until such time as the Colored Big Sister club would have raised more money to ensure the success of the home. This was done. Besides Mrs. Trottman, the others asking for incorporation were Mrs. Ellie A. Mars, Mrs. Mary S. Dorsey, Mrs. Amelia E. Shepard and Miss Maritcha R. Lyons. WOMEN PHYSICIANS MEET IN NEW YORK CITY The international conference of women physicians is being held at the National Y. W. C. A. board, 600 Lexington avenue.

Coppin of Philadelphia and Dr. Rice, who has been doing service in the French army. This conference will continue for six weeks. HEAD WAITER TO GO SOUTH. (Special to Two New York Agents) ALEXANDRA N. Y. JOHN H. HARDY head waiter at the Colored Big Sister known to many in northern New York is dedicated with a warm winter. Mr. Hardy is the head waiter and was the executive at Ederwood. The New York Age certain localities of the South. Men in all grades of employment were questioned, from house servants to ministers and professional men, with the result that but few could be found who would say that they found conditions any better now than a year or two ago. Especially was this true of localities visited in the States of Louisiana and Texas. Some Answers to the Question Some of the answers given to the question, "Are conditions now better than they were before the war?" were as follows: "I fail to see any improvement." "There has been no change for the better." "Why, conditions are worse than ever." "Any one who says conditions now are better than before the war is crazy." "Some deceitful, lying Negroes may say times are better, but he would at the same time know that he was not telling the truth." "Haven't you been seeing more reports of lynching of Negroes than you ever did in your life since the war? Where then is there any improvement?" "Ain't all the judges, all the police and constables, all the juries white men as ever?" "Does the word of a Negro count for more now than it did before the war? Don't white men insult our wives and daughters and sisters and get off at it, unless when we take the law into our own hand and punish them for it ourselves and get lynched for protecting our own just as often as ever?" "How much more schooling from public funds do our children get now than they got before the war? How much more do we have to say now than we had to say before the war about the way the taxes we pay shall be spent for schools, or for salaries or for anything connected with administration and government? Why even the colored men in Caddo parish who subscribed for one hundred thousand dollars for Liberty Bonds and bought lots of War Saving Stamps and others who bought less, but in the hundreds and thousands of the bonds and war saving stamps, have no more to say about affairs now than they ever laid. Where then, is the improvement?" "There has been no change. The Lincoln League organized in this city has been denounced by the white newspapers as a movement that will cause trouble, and the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People, and Urban Leagues of various cities have been called strife breeders and meddlers in Southern affairs. 'Jim Crow' accommodations are just the same as ever. If there is any change for the better I can't see it." Efforts Made for Education "In only one thing do I see greater efforts being made to better conditions for Negroes here and that is along public educational lines. The State and parish school authorities are giving more attention to the needs of colored people for primary schools. A number of parishes have planned for additional primary schools and for better pay for colored teachers. The average pay has been $20 per month for an WASHINGTON, D. C.—Plans are being made for a national conference to discuss plans for the formation of a new political party with the farm and labor organizations of the country as a basis. The conference has been called to convene here by December 9, by "the committee of forty-eight", which has had the organization under way in New York since early last spring. Active in the movement is Dudley Field Malone, formerly a supporter of President Wilson, who was appointed collector of the port of New York by the President. Promoters of the proposed party, in their literature, denounce the Democratic and Republican parties as un-representative of the citizenship of the country, and charge that there are new differences between the old parties, except so to which will hold the敌人. Transportation facilities, the nature of free speech and free economy and the right to a decent living for a day, are set out among the problems which the old parties have failed to solve.

SENATE TO INVESTIGATE MOB LAW AND LYNCHING (Special to The New York Age) WASHINGTON, D.C.—An investigation by the United States Senate into race riots and lynching throughout the United States is provided for in a resolution introduced by Senator Charlie Curtis of Kansas, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. It reads as follows: Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate, and it is hereby, authorized and directed at as early a date as possible, by sub-committee, to investigate the race riots in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, and other cities in the United States, and to investigate lynchings which have occurred in different parts of the United States, and to ascertain as far as possible the causes for such race riots and lynchings, and report what remedy or remedies should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same; said sub-committee shall have power to move charges in any part of the United States, to call and examine witnesses, to examine papers, and to take such action as may be necessary to secure the facts. INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS ARE TO BE DISCUSSED The announcement of the Conference on Industrial Problems of the Negro called by the National Urban League to be held in Detroit, October 15 to 19, promises one of the most practical, constructive and interesting programs presented since the war. The conditions of economic unrest, and the recent race riots furnish food for serious thought and it is hoped that the approaching conference will be a medium of exchange of ideas and experience, that will be valuable in checking industrial unrest and lawlessness. Many notable students of economic and social problems, from all parts of the country, will discuss the various phases of the present situation. Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College, lately returned from France, and Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes and Slater Fund, Miss Josephine Pinyon of the New York Y. W. C. A. Vorational Bureau and Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute will speak on the educational phase of advancing Negro workers. W. T. B. Williams of the Jeanes Fund, Prof. Francis Tyson of the University of Pittsburgh and Dr. James E. Gregg, President of Hampton Institute, who have made such a contribution on Negro Migration, have been asked to analyze that situation. Miss Namie Battrough, of the National Training School, Miss Eva D. Bowles, of the Y. W. C. A., Dean William Parkens of Morgan College, Ballmore, will also speak. James W. Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P. will speak on organization. Dr. G. F. Haynes has been asked to give his wide experience with the Labor Bureau.

Racial Situation a Challenge to Christianity A Call to Preach the Duty of Justice to All Men The strained relations between the races in the United States have at last evoked the careful consideration of the professing Christians of the country. A call to all citizens to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and of Christianity in the present situation has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, acting in conjunction with a large representative from all sections of the committee of white and colored citizens country. This committee met recently in New York City on the call of the secretary of the Home Missions Council and the chairman of the Committee of the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much time was given to a full and free discussion of the racial situation. As a result the following address was issued: Statement and Recommendations The recent race conflicts in some of our cities challenge the attention of the Churches of Jesus Christ to their responsibility respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America. In the fellowship of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,089,852 members of the Negro churches. In speaking therefore at this time for humanity and justice we weave the mind and conscience of both races. The present situation is a challenge to the Churches charged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man, which look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opportunity. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for the Negro, thus securing peace and goodwill between the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and women of failure to live up to the standard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. In the adjustment of race relations our country has in this crisis not only its own conscience to satisfy, but also to justify itself as a nation before the enlightened opinion of mankind. As a foremost exponent of the ideals of democratic government, the United States has been lifted to the full view of the world. Our present settlement therefore of race relations will influence in a very large measure the settlement of race relations in other parts of the world. Juangerous Inter-Racial Situation We must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous interracial situation now threatens our country. The problems growing out of the presence of two races in America are clearly seen to be nationwide and the adjustments must necessarily be made on the basis of national responsibility. The migration of thousands of Negroes to the North emphasizes this fact. The outbreaks in several cities and the persistence of the anarchy and treason of law-church imperial our democracy. The actual practice of the principles of the brotherhood of Christ can prevent such conflicts and nothing else will. The Church must offer the ideals, the program and the leadership in this (Continued on Second Page) WORK PROJECTED BY CHURCH IN LOUISIANA (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) NEW ORLEANS, LA.-The industrial school farm for Negroes at Gentilly, which has been connected and built up by Mrs. Francis Joseph Gaudet with the idea of fitting the children of her race to take their places as educated, industrious and valued citizens, has been offered to the Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Louisiana. While awaiting the action of the Diocesan Council authorizing the Church to take over this enterprise, Bishop Sessuins and the other members of the committee, have asked the leaders of the Episcopal Nation-Wide Campaign to include that project church's activities to receive support through that Campaign. The sum of $15,000 is asked to run the school for the three-year period covered by the movement. Other projects of the Episcopal Church in Louisiana for work among the Negroes for which aid is asked from the church at large through the Nation-Wide Campaign are: For a suitable lot and parish house for St. Luke's Church, New Orleans, $9,000 Funds are asked to pay a teacher for work among the Negroes of the parish. An assistant worker is needed among the Negroes and immigrants of Trinity Church Parish, New Orleans. A building is asked for St. Mark's parish, Alex-andria, and a colored clergyman. The askings for this parish are $9,000. It is the centre of Episcopal activities among the Negroes of Louisiana. St. Mark's parish, Shreveport, adds $9,000 for work among the Negroes. Part of this is for a parish house, part for a Negro assistant for social services work, and part for a site for an athletic field for Negroes. WHEN YOU SEE IT IN The Age YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT.

I.-Four thousand people assembled at the State Armory on the evening of Sept. 11, to participate in the "real welcome home" to the colored service men who were in the world war. Perfect order prevailed during the exercises and the vast armory was left in as immaculate condition as if nothing had occurred. The following program was rendered: Opening chorus, "The Star Spangled Banner," address. President Thomas Henry Brown; selection by the band; address by His Honor Mayor Joseph H. Gainer, presented by John B. Edwards; military song and chorus, "Our Heroes." F. S. Bowen; address by His Excellency Acting Governor Emery J. San Souci, presented by John C. Minkus; military chorus, "inward," presentation of Dr. James A. Gilbert, chairman of executive committee, by C. Thomas Pierson; selection, "Good Night," by Prof. Elmer Pays and chorus. The heutenant governor paid a warm tribute to the patriotism and fighting qualities of the black man, to his loyalty and his faithfulness. Mayor Gainer, who extended the city's welcome, kept his audience in excellent humor, especially the veterans, and also praised their work, at home and abroad. A mixed chorus of 30 sweet voiced singers made excellent harmony. Dancing lasted up to 11:25, with hundreds of couples occupying the floor after a grand march, led by Earl Wheeler, floor director, in which 800 couples participated. It was the biggest demonstration ever made by the colored people of Rhode Island. Before the meeting there was a street parade with B. T. Montgomery as marshal. First came a citizens' escort, Capt. Peter B. Nellis in command. Eight of the 13 surviving members of Ives Post, G. A. R., were next in automobiles. Then followed 146 men who had served in the Buffalohes, a colored regiment that went into action "over there," and some of the conscripted men who served in pioneer divisions in France and a platoon of sailors. A detachment of Spanish War veterans and members of the colored camp. Sons of Veterans, was followed by several companies of Boy Scouts. Dinner was served to upward of 250 service men and guests by Arthur R. Williams, a member of the welcome home committee, assisted by Edward P. Oliver, Thomas R. Marshall, James G. Bennett, C. Thomas Pierson and Mrs. Bertha G. Higgins, who directed a score of young ladies, members of the 20th Century Club. Cigars and packages of cigarettes for each man were contributed, as was a non-intoxicating beverage. The lower Odd Fellows Hall was never before so crowded with diners, and a number had to be served later. Prof. Leon Payne played piano selections during the dinner. Dr. William H. Higgins was chairman of the finance committee, and State member of the general Rhode Island reception committee, and Dr. James A. Gilbert, chairman of the executive committee and city member of the reception committee named by Mayor Gainer. Carnations were contributed to guests and committeemen through Mrs. James G. Bennett by Mrs. Mary Lawrence, mother of one of the service men. DR. IONIA R. WHIPPER LECTURES IN MEMPHIS MEMPHIS, TENN.—During July Dr. Ionia R. Whipper had sixty-six audiences, with 0,888 individuals in attendance. Committees responded nicely, accompanying her to the laundries and factories daily. The Rev. Russell S. Brown assisted her in gaining access to factories and laundries where the industrial situation is one of constant unrest, and managers have to handle their helpers carefully. Women who have been leaving their jobs for the slightest protest followed the facturers from church to church. Memphis is a splendid field in which to work, the occupation is unique, and the social workings are well appreciated under the Civic League, Dr. Whipper says. Knights of Pythias Voice Protest in West Kansas City, Mo.—Among the important subjects considered at the recent session of the Knights of P. Cias, held in this city, was the passage of the following resolution: The Supreme Lodge K. of P. E. & W. Hemisphere, in six biennial session assembled at Kansas City, Mo. August 25 to 28, 1919, an organization extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, representing 14,000 colored American citizens, hereby voices its protest and that of the other 11,000,000 loyal colored Americans to our National Government against the continued abuses, discriminations and the most outrageous treatment given our people simply because of the color of their skin. COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO OVERSEAS WORKER The African Redemption Society gave a complimentary dinner to Mrs. James L. Curtis last Saturday evening at the Libya. The dining hall was beautifully decorated with allied flags and flowers, and Caterer Keyes served a most tempting menu. Mrs. Lelia Walters, the president of the society, made a splendid mistress of ceremonies. Short addresses in praise of the work done by Mrs. Our colored boys who fought under the American flag fought nobly, acquitted themselves as real men, and allowed nothing short of success and honor to be returned to these shores. Never found wanting under the most trying circumstances, they remained loyal, trustworthy and faithful, though denied that which they rightly deserved. And now, upon their return home, with mediate of honor upon their breast, they are further denied everything that a human being should have, -refused congenial labor and subject to race riots that are causing the United States of America to have to hide her face in shame; and reducing democracy to nothing but mere words. We utter this protest and demand that legislation be formulated to correct present and prevent further outrages, and that a fair and equal chance be given us, as to the other people in every walk of life.

THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 CHURCH COUNCIL FOR EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY (Continued from First Page) crisis. The Church must meet its obligation, or leadership will pass not only to secular agencies, economic or socialistic, but to forces that are destructive of civilization. We must confess that the Church and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has been too little inspired by the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. Communities that have expressed horror over atrocities abroad, have seen, almost unmoved and silent, men beaten, hanged and also burned by the mob. The Negro has ever shown profound faith in God and has always looked to the Church for leadership, for counsel and for guidance. The Church which for, fifty years has a record of almost unmatched service in the education and betterment of the race will now be reelevant to her trust and lose her birthright of service if she does not meet this confidence with a full sense of responsibility and a full measure of service for justice, peace and goodwill. To this end we therefore urge upon the Church, her ministry and membership this constructive program: A Constructive Program Proposed 1. The Government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and of property. Mob violence is becoming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessly taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts, law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good people to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be equally assured to all classes. 2. The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work, and with fair working and living conditions. The entrance of large numbers of Negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amenable adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow-workers. 3. We call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlistment of Negro leaders in a program of education and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that of other Americans, and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any home, white or black. 4. We recognize as fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society that adequate recreational provisions be made available for Negro citizens. 5. We strongly endorse the plea of the Negro for equal traveling accommodations for equal charges. 6. Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national obligation but also as a necessity for national welfare. We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro children full share of real and national funds. 7. Qualifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race. To Study Causes of Race Friction --- DEATH OF MRS. WHEATLAND. (Special to THE NEW YORK' ACK) BORTON, MASS. ... Mrs. Irene L. Wheatland of Newport, R.I., while at Wellesley, College on Monday, where her daughter, Helen, was entering as a student, was stricken with a shock. She was removed to the home of William S. Brathwaite at 243 Park avenue, Arlington Heights, where she died Tuesday. Mrs. Wheatland was the wife of Dr. Marcus E. Wheatland of Newport. Her body was removed to their home and brought back for burial in Wood- lawn cemetery in Everett. Convinced the Jury "Was there any convincing proof of the man's insanity?" "Well, when he went on a fishing party he always said he had the poorest and smallest catch of the lot, and he never said anything about his child except to remark it was exceptionally dull and rarely said anything worth quoting."-Baltimore American HOME FOR CHILDREN By Edith M. Davis Rochelleen, N. Y.-I spent a very interesting afternoon out at the Dorsey Home a few days ago. Previous to that I had called up asking for an interview, which was very cordially granted. The home is situated about two miles out of the city limits. On arriving at the home I was ushered into a large reception room. Mrs. Dorsey gave me a very interesting account of the home. After conversing awhile I was shown through the home. From the reception room you entered the living room; next the private dining room, the children's dining room and then the kitchen, which I noticed was large, bright and airy. The upstairs is made up of dormitories for each, the girls and the boys, including several bath-rooms. The apartments were bright and cheerful, each bed being nicely made up and the rooms in perfect neatness and order. I was next taken to the cellar where, at present fifty tons of coal is laid away for the winter, flour in great quantities and row after row of fruits and jellies, including crocks and jars of all kinds of pickles, which had recently been done up. The laundry department was fully equipped. The home throughout has all the modern improvements. The grounds are large and a veranda nearly encircles the home, with rows of flowers each side of the driveway and about the veranda. The farm part has all the working equipment with horses, cows, chickens, ducks and hogs. Therefore the home is supplied with its own butter, milk and eggs, of which they have plenty the year around. The home was first organized by Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey about seven years ago, which started on Bronson avenue with two children taken from a funeral, they having lost their parents. They next went to Forest Lawn where they remained five years, afterwards coming to their present home. The children come and go as circumstances permit. Many parents having separated have been brought together through the aid of the home and the children returned to their parents. Any child of color who is homeless is taken in and cared for. At present there are twenty-four inmates, ranging from three months to sixteen years. Those who are large enough to attend school go to one of the best in the city, but the plans are to build a school of their own where Domestic Science and all branches of industrial work will be taught. At present plans are being made for a kindergarten in which to teach the smaller children. The home is maintained by white societies of Rochester through the Chamber of Commerce. Every comfort and necessity, however, for the children's welfare is provided by these societies. The only donations received from colored, was from Syracuse. There is yet much to be done and my effort as a correspondent is to make the home more widely known, in hopes that different colored writers may become interested in it. LYCEUM OPENS FIGHT Great enthusiasm marked the opening of Saint Mark's Lycopa, and the campaign for Political Education and the other aspects of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Capt, Lewis E Johnson, 370th Infantry (old 8th Illinois National Guard) formerly secretary of the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. was discharged from the army last week after more than two years spent overseas; his regiment having a record of 112 days on the firing line in the St Mihiel, Argonne and Soisson sectors. Captain Johnson was cited for bravery at the battle of Mount De Sange. Gen. Pershing appointed him Judge Advocate, an honor of which he is very proud. Captain Johnson graduated from the Howard University Law School, Class of 1912. After returning from France with his regiment last February, he was assigned to duty at Camp Grant, Ill. He defended the fourteen-colored soldiers in their re-trial there, charged with criminal assault, getting a verdict of "not guilty" for six of the fourteen accused. On the original trial all of these fourteen had been found guilty and sentenced either to death or life imprisonment. One of the men now acquitted had been sentenced to death. Capt. Johnson states that he is confident that the other eight men would be set at liberty, if the case could be presented before the Supreme Court, Capt. Johnson will return to the practise of law in Chicago. While on a short visit here recently, he was the guest of Dr. S. L. Cox. Miss Ida, Freeman, one of Washington's most popular school teachers, was recently married to George Alexander of Helena, Montana. Mrs. Alexander will join her husband in St. Paul, Minn., where they will spend the winter. Mortimer M. Harris, who was assigned to the Aviation Division of the U.S. Navy, acting as supply clerk for the division during his stay in the service, recently was discharged and was tended a clerical position in the Navy Department. He resigned in order to take up the practice of law and real estate. During the past month he has sold some of the largest and most attractive homes to colored purchasers. Mr. Harris is also connected with the National Republican, the official organ of the Republican Party. Mr. Harris will take up his office with Miss Jeanette Carter, the well-known claim attorney and labor organizer. Mrs. Gertrude Smith of Richmond, Ind., is visiting the city as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Powell of Twelfth Street Northeast, L. H. Potter, an investment broker of New York City, is here on business. The Garnet Group Community Center held a fete Thursday last on the pavilion and playground of Phils' school. The features were in two sessions. A carnival was held for the children, at 3:30, when refreshments were served to all properly chaperoned. Athletic contests and sports of various sorts helped to make up the attractions. In the evening a band concert by the Community Band was the star attraction. Addresses on Community Center work were made by Prof. J. R. Hawkins, Mrs. J. M. Layton, social selections by the Amphion Glee Club and L. R. Williams. Dr. and Mrs. Emmet J. Scott were the only men in the country to have been on the official receiving stand for the Fourth Parade. All in attendance for the fourth annual Our Stratagems Society of the National Race Center of America, called to meet at the Merchants Depot lunch in this city on October 7th. An especial feature of the congress will be the report of Rev. W. W. Jerrigan, who went to Paris and took a strong stand in the Pan American Congress for the just government of the African Colonies we stole from Germany. An Early Delusion "Do, what is the wisdom of the ages?" "It's what the average young fellow about nineteen years old thinks he possesses." Exchange Schemea and Schemers Every community of any size is afflicted with individuals who spend a vast deal of time in concocting and endeavoring to put across questionable schemes, with an eye single to the main chance. Professing to be interested in their race. Esam-like they would sell it and its dearest interests for a mess of pottage. If these individuals would only be honest, manly and straightforward they could be of great service to their community. But in using whatever ability they may have as they do they are a menace and a hindrance.—Omaha Monitor. Journalistic Trouble Breeders In time of strife and conflict among the people, labor troubles and race rioting, the unscrupulous and ambitious reporter runs amuck, runs wild, overstating the tenseness and seriousness of a critical situation; suggesting and anticipating possible serious undertakings and "turns," repeating and reproducing idle and incendiary boast and threat, adding fuel to the flames. It can be said in all truth that the Atlanta News was the direct cause of the Atlanta riot of 1900. The city's investigation put the blame upon this paper and, as a result of the finding, Atlanta public opinion put the paper out of existence—Savannah Tribune. CHURCH IN LOUISIANA. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) 'LAKE PROVIDENCE,' LA—The Sunday School Convention of the Lake Providence District held at Oak Grove, Aug. 28-31 was one of the best for a number of years. The Rev. S. J. Channell, the presiding Elder, is one of noted men of the A. M. E. Church and a race leader. Many young folks flocked to the mercy seats and one was happily converted. The Revs. R. W. Wilson, F. Nelson, A. Willis, W. E. Bishop, W. L. Debro, H. Waker and A. B. Brown preached with power a long time. The fiances were the best for many years. At Lake Providence, Sept. 6-7 the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of the Lake Providence District met with good results, Mrs. L. M. Channell, presiding. Mrs. Channell is a wide-awake leader of the women. The annual address was one full of thought and food for the convention. Mrs. L. J. Eavens was elected secretary and Mrs. E. Mitchell, treasurer. The district will make the best report financially of all the past. Spiritually the work is doing well. A resolution condemning mob. violence was passed. The hygienic address by the president was one of the most helpful addresses ever delivered here by a woman. The missionary work of the Lake, Providence District was never in a better state. Root of Rioting The real center and root of this race rioting is not the Negro, but it springs from the unrest and discontent of white masses with life as it is lived today. While the average white man has been busy trying to re-enslave the Negro the privileged classes have manacled them. This Aryan system of ruling by might threatens today to engulf civilization. England's grip upon India, her seizure of Egypt, her throttling of Ireland, her degradation of China by forcing upon her the opium traffic all are samples of Aryan supremacy by might.—Oklahoma City Dispatch. Uncertain Policy Our policy in Mexico is of the inland-out variety. "In again, out again, gone again, shennanigin." — Cleveland Gazette.

A SOUTHERN REACTION. That is a remarkable view of mob violence, or rather the "double standard of law enforcement" that serves to foster and uphold the mob in various sections of the country, that is taken by a leading white newspaper of Mississippi, the Vicksburg Herald. It is encouraging to find such acuteness of vision and such logical reasoning on the part of a publication where the ruling spirit is white supremacy at any cost. But this editor is sane enough to see that the punishment of only the black men charged with certain crimes and the license given white men to commit the same kind of crimes with perfect immunity, is a direct encouragement to hoodlumism and wholesale lawlessness, from which the whole community must suffer. While Memphis is the locality that affords the object lesson as to the evil results of this double standard of law enforcement, the same principle holds good of all other sections of the country where the law fails of equal and exact justice. It requires but little sanity and common sense to perceive this fact, but it requires a rare degree of courage, for a Southern white editor to admit it. Hence the surprise felt at the sweeping admission made in the Mississippi paper. When this logical conclusion is admitted and realized by more of the leaders of Southern white opinion, there will be hope for some radical movement to secure the predominance of law and justice over anarchy and mob violence. Let us hope for a more general enlighment of public opinion in this regard. More papers like the Vicksburg Herald could do much to leave the mass of ignorance that lies back of the prevalence of mob law and anarchy. A crying need of the South is for the public press to adopt a policy of supporting law and order and sticking to such a policy, unmoved by the bugaboos of so-called "social equality" and "Negro domination." In other words, to stand hitched. A MISSING FACTOR: Attention has been called to the fact that no Negroes were included among the twenty-two representatives of capital and labor called to meet in Washington October 6, to plan new relation between these two forces. In a letter addressed to President Wilson, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the subject is broached in the following manner: May we not call your attention to a fact that appeared in a survey overlooked to you in the selection of these men and one which we feel should be brought to your attention and that of the country at large. According to the census of 1910, there were in the United States at that time 7,317,922 Negroes, over ten years of age, and of that number, 5,122,335, or 71 per cent., were employed in gainful occupations. According to the same records there were in America 63,933,870 whites ten years of age and over, of which number only 32,974,056, or slightly less than 50 per cent., were employed in painful occupations. We wish to call your attention to the fact that no one of the twenty-two persons invited by you to sit on this commission is of the colored race, although, according to the above records, one of every six wage-earners in the United States is of the colored race. Attention is also called to the fact that as a result of the war and the falling off of immigration from Europe, the industrial vacancy created has been filled, by Negro workmen from the South. In view of the increased importance of the Negro as an industrial factor, the question is asked "if it is at all wise to ignore in this manner nearly seventeen per cent. of the labor of America." It is finally requested that the President appoint representatives of Negro labor to this conference, at least in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply. It is to be hoped that the justice and reasonableness of this request may commend themselves to the appointing power in this matter. JAPANESE CRITICISM. The interest exhibited by the Japanese press in the race question in the United States continues to increase, according to the comments reported from Tokio, the capital of that progressive country. One daily paper, known as the Yamato, is reported as saying with caustic frankness: "In America the Negroes have no vote. If Americans have any conscience, they should be ashamed." Another Japanese daily, the Chugai Shogyo, remarked, with an air of fatality, that "unless lynching is prohibited in America further disturbances may occur." But the culminating point of this Far Eastern criticism of Western civilization is found in the question propounded by some of these Japanese papers, in which they ask "Why American missionaries should not try to prevent such a barbarous thing in their own country as lynching, before thinking of enlightening the Koreans?" That is a fair question and one that would require all the wisdom and all the guile of the Federated Churches of America to answer to the satisfaction of themselves or anybody else. But the shame of it is that it should be possible for a nation of Orientals to thus put the pretensions of a so-called Christian nation to the blush. Let us hope that the time will soon come when the Christian churches of America will be able to stand up and answer such a question without blushing. LOST CHARMS. In showing that "the South has no charms" for those members of the Négro race who have migrated to the North, the Mobile Weekly Press recites the manner in which the Southern delegations were received, when they visited Chicago to induce the errant black laborers to return. The Press continued: One man expressed the sentiment of thousands when he said: "I would rather live in Chicago if they had a rot here every week." An other typical individual made a very amusing comment. The big white Southerner was present, before an assembly of more than a hundred Negro workmen. He described ecumenically that on his plantation there are many logs that need sawing up. Railroad transportation would be farnished and four dollars per day paid to the laborers. "How many of you wish to go?" he asked. There was painful silence. Finally, one brother spoke up and said deliberately: "I tell you what you do, you send the logs up to Chicago, and we'll send 'em here." This view of the matter is corroborated in a more serious vein by a correspondent who, recently traveled through parts of Louisiana and Texas. He instances the continued sway of mob law and violence as a constant spur to the determination of the Negro to escape such conditions by migration to the North. One woman in Texas pronounced the situation of the race as equivalent to slavery and instanced the intolerable hardships of travel as they affected women particularly, under the "Jim Crow" car system, which is operated under the sanction of the Railroad Administration of the United States. So, it would appear, as the best and wisest thinkers of the South have agreed, the only way to keep the Negro in the South is to give However the question may be considered, it is only common justice and common sense that if there is any stigma it should attach to the parents and not to the shield. So those who make secular laws outlawing illegitimate children and those who make social laws ostracizing them and those who make theological laws condemning them to hell are doing an inhuman thing. If it is wrong for men to condemn a child for something for which it is not in any degree responsible, how much more so would it not be for God to do it. Under a Treasury ruling of July 25, 1919, War Risk Insurance which has been cancelled or has lapsed may be reinstated in whole or in part within eighteen months from the date of discharge of the insured. The conditions are: The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge, or at the date on which the insurance lapsed if lapse occurred after discharge, and must so state in the signed application for reinstatement; the application must be accompanied by a remittance to cover two months' premium on the amount to be reinstated. It is to be hoped that all colored soldiers who were insured and have let their insurance lapse will take advantage of this opportunity. If you were insured for $10,000 and do not care to carry that much, reinstate yourself for $5,000 or $2,000 or even $1,000. Every provident man in this age carries life insurance. It is a part of a man's moral obligation to himself and his family. We understand that the Government rates are cheaper than regular insurance; so every colored soldier ought to take advantage of them and carry just as much as he possibly can. Let every body who has any interest in a soldier boy talk to him about this matter and urge him to attend to it before it is too late. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Waldon Johnson, Contributing Editor NEW LIGHT ON THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. As President Wilson has proceeded west on his tour his speeches on the League of Nations have become less and less general in their phrasing and more specific. This is as it should be. The country had heard enough of why the nation went to war, of how bravely the American boys fought, and about "humanity" and "democracy" in general; what it wanted to know was how the League was going to work. At San Francisco the President answered a series of questions submitted to him by the Labor Council of that city. The fourth question and its answer are particularly interesting. Interesting because they involve not only what concerns the great powers but what concerns those peoples who were led to put their faith in Mr. Wilson's phase, "self-determination". The fourth question was as follows: 4. Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the peace conference? And what is your position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland? To this question the President answered: Answer: The case of Ireland was not heard at the peace conference because the peace conference had no jurisdiction over any question of that sort which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated empires. My position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland is expressed in article 11 of the covenant, in which I may say I was particularly interested, because it seemed to me necessary for the peace and freedom of the forum should be created to which all world that a peoples could bring any matter which was likely to affect the peace and freedom of the world. Here we learn that the Peace Conference did not consider that it had any jurisdiction to right the wrongs of any peoples except those in territories belonging to the defeated empires. Just why the Peace Conference should have imposed such a limitation on its powers is difficult to understand and impossible to justify. The peoples in the territories belonging to the victorious powers helped to win the war, and it would seem that they would be entitled to the benefits of the war, even in preference to the peoples of the territories of the defeated powers. And one of the most definite promises held out during the war was self-determination. But what does article 11, to which the President refers say: Article 11 reads as follows: "Any war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the Members of the League or not, is hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole League, and the League shall take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations. In case any such emergency should arise the Secretary-General shall on the request of any Member of the League forthwith summon a meeting of the Council. "It is also declared to be the friendly, right of each Member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Council any circumstance whatever affecting international relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends." If the hope of Ireland for self-determination rests upon any interpretation of article 11, which takes into account the usual meaning given to English words, that hope is indeed very slim. Undoubtedly the President based his statement on the second part of the article, which says that each member of the League has the right to bring to the attention of the assembly or the council any circumstance whatever affecting international relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends. But even the most strained interpretation of that part of the article fails, in our opinion, to offer any remedy which fits the case of Ireland. However, it may be the intention of Mr. Wilson to proceed in Ireland's behalf under the vague provisions of this article. Indeed, no less a person than ex-Senator Lewis declares that he will do so. Ex-Senator Lewis, up to the time of his recent retirement, was considered the spokesman of the President in the Senate; so his words, perhaps, still carry some authority. Several days after Mr. Wilson answered this list of questions in San Francisco the ex-senator from Illinois issued a statement in which he said: "Let me state the position of Woodrow Wilson on the Irish question as it will be disclosed in conduct. He treats the league as a tribunal in the form of an international court of justice to peoples who claim relief from any professed wrongs of government. "At the first meeting of the league this autumn in Washington—following the ratification of the peace treaty by the Senate-Woodrow United States in a peace confer- the United States in a peace conference called at Paris by the Allied nations who were at war with the German powers. He no longer is bound by any of the limitations contained in the call or its boundaries of jurisdiction defined by the charter upon which the nations summoned were restricted. "He then is President of the United States. As such he can present to the league of nations as a member of it for the United States the demands of the Irish born or Irish-American citizenry of the United States in behalf of their mother country, Ireland, in the full form as they urge it." President Wilson's exposition of article II of the covenant taken together with the statement of ex-Senator Lewis sheds new light on the League of Nations; a light which ought to be welcomed by the colored citizens of the United States. For if President Wilson can go before the League as the spokesman of the Irish-American citizenry in the United States in behalf of their brothers in their mother country, Ireland, why, cannot the president of Liberia go before the League as the spokesman of American descended Liberians in behalf of their brothers in their mother country, the United States? The cases are analogous and we are speaking seriously. Liberia is a member of the League. Her people, at least, the governing classes are either American born or the descendants of American born Negroes. Therefore, these Liberians would have as good a right to bring to the attention of the League the political and civil treatment given their brothers in the United States as American born Irish would have to do likewise for their brothers in Ireland. It is natural to jump to the conclusion that although the Liberians might have the same right as the Irish-Americans, their chances of getting a hearing and action would not be so good because Liberia will not have the great influence in the League which the United States will have. But there are considerations to be taken into account besides the sole influence of Liberia. Suppose after the League is adopted President Wilson does go forward for the Irish in America under article 11, and does succeed in securing 27. 1919 a greater or a full degree of self-determination for the Irish in Ireland; is it not reasonable to suppose that England would lend a willing ear to whatever Liberia might have to whisper about the status of the colored people in the United States? Under such circumstances the strength of Liberia would be the whole strength of England. We hope that President Wilson does believe that article 11 provides for the freeing of Ireland from England; and we further hope that immediately after the adoption of the League he will attempt to carry out those provisions; and we hope still further that he will succeed. If he does there will be something doing all over the world and the United States will be pretty well mixed up in it. AN ABSURD-DISCUSSION. Evening Sun conducts "What Do You Do this department people write letters, telling what they think about the matter now days ago this department published a Heart-broken Mother" in which she said she was born out of wedlock and died in the hudd from heaven by Bible edict. Later, a number of replies to this query. Is curious to see how so many people tell In one day the Sun printed three solid copies letters were headed in heavy type. Then if the replies we reproduce some the headway? No Child Rejected for Mother—"Bids 'Mother' Not To Worry. 'Elsie Happy With The Angels'"—"Heaven For Points Out That Jesus Promised Forgiveness In Bible: A Reader Bids 'Heartbroken'"—"Her Son Is Now In Glory. 'Anny Prepare To Meet Him There.'—"Says O Puts All Blame On Father."—"A Pa Not To Worry." And so on and so forth. Discussion as to whether or not God would cost a human soul because in the flesh the dollars or so for a marriage license and before a priest or notary and mumbled theola is to our mind the limit of absurdity discussed at length in a great metropolis and at the same time discouraging. It might like to say belonged only to weak-minded human being an illegitimate child is as good the worlds best and finest characters have for that matter, it was brought even again, the stigma now attaching to illegitimacy, of extremely ancient origin; it is compared that in the Roman law of succession illegitimate position than the legitimate than peoples acknowledged illegitimate child and gave them a right to share in the path attached to illegitimacy is of so compare it may be cited that less than nine hushes Conqueror, King of England, was knotted. And he was so called without any rather as an appellation of distinction. Reason why discriminations against illegal the law is simple to understand. They reserve property interests. This idea has countries that even the younger legitimate bastardized; the right of succession and being only to the eldest. Her the question may be considered, it is common sense that if there is any stigma exists and not to the shield. So those who make illegitimate children and those who make them and those who make theological laws are doing an inhuman thing. Wrong for men to condemn a child for not in any degree responsible, how much God to do it. Pass such a question is an insult to God. The Evening Sun conducts "What Do You Think" department. To this department people write letters and other people reply by telling what they think about the matter. A few days ago this department published a letter signed by "Anxious Heart-broken Mother" in which she asked whether her son, who was born out of wedlock and died in the war in France, was excluded from heaven by Bible edict. Later the Evening Sun published a number of replies to this query. It was curious to see how so many people took such a query seriously. In one day the Sun printed three solid columns of replies. All of these letters were headed in heavy type. To give an idea of the tone of the replies we reproduce some the headings: "Did Jesus Turn Away? No Child Rejected for Mother's Errors. Says 'Helper'."—"Bids 'Mother' Not To Worry. 'Elsie' Tells Her That Son Is Happy With The Angels."—"Heaven For Mother And Son! 'E. B.' Points Out That Jesus Promised Forgiveness for Both."—"Take Hope In Bible: A Reader Bids 'Heartbroken Mother' Search Scripture."—"Her Son Is Now In Glory. 'Anxious Mother' Is Urged To Prepare To Meet Him There."—"Says Child Is Innocent. 'C. D. H.' Puts All Blame On Father."—"'A Painted Doll' Tells 'Mother' Not To Worry." And so on and so forth. A discussion as to whether or not God would condemn to eternal punishment a human soul because in the flesh the father had not paid two dollars or so for a marriage license and gone with the mother before a priest or notary and mumbled through the words of a formula is to our mind the limit of absurdity. To see such a question discussed at length in a great metropolitan newspaper is astonishing and at the same time discouraging... It is a sign of what we would like to say belonged only to weakmindedness. As a human being an illegitimate child is as good as any other. Some of the world's best and finest characters have sustained the charge. For that matter, it was brought even against Jesus Christ. Indeed, the stigma now attaching to illegitimacy is not, as some people think, of extremely ancient origin; it is comparatively modern. It is true that in the Roman law of succession illegitimate children were in a less favorable position than the legitimate; but most of the European peoples acknowledged illegitimate children as part of the family and gave them a right to share in the patrimony. In fact, the shame attached to illegitimacy is of so comparatively recent an origin that it may be cited that less than nine hundred years ago William the Conqueror, King of England, was known as William the Bastard. And he was so called without any connotation of shame, but rather as an appellation of distinction. The reason why discriminations against illegitimate children grew up in the law is simple to understand. They came about in order to conserve property interests. This idea has been carried so far in some countries that even the younger legitimate children are practically bastardized; the right of succession and the bulk of the property going only to the eldest. To discuss such a question is an insult to God. SOLDIERS' LIFE INSURANCE. Treasury ruling of July 25, 1919.

RESULT OF REACTION FROM MOB VIOLENCE The Vicksburg Horald The story with circumstances of the Knoxville lynching mob has been told through the press and in fullest detail. It took on certain extreme and extraordinary forms and features—such as release of the county-prisoners, robbery and destruction of private as well as jail property. The jailer's evidence is quoted: "That the assault upon the Knoxville jail last Saturday night, by a mob which eventually ruined the building was due to the ferocious malice of a purposeless mob; that convicts, two of them under sentence of death, and two to life terms in the state prison, were liberated by the crowd even when its leaders knew that Maurice Mayes, the Negro sought for, was not in the jail, is the statement of Earl Hall, jailer, to the correspondent of The News Scimitar. I personally conducted four different committees through the jail, in an effort to place the crowd, but they would not be satisfied. I tried to reason with them, telling them repeatedly that the prisoner was not there, but this did no good, and only added to their fury." Law abiding people of Knoxville were in fact treated to an expression of a lynching mob in fullest bloom, which brought out the underlying truth of all mobs: That whatever motive there may be at the start of punishing a crowning wrong, it falls under the dominance of race hate, murder and hoodlums. There was the one thing lacking to complete the Vardaman idea—that "mob is the only protection for the white man's home." The lynchers fell short of the Vardaman conception in letting the officers escape with the accused. Negro: "hanging and burning," as the New York Post commented, "his sole thought." The comment of the Nashville Banner is quoted from; "At the North a crime committed by a Negro that aroused white resentment has in several notable instances produced attacks on all the Negroes in the community. At Knoxville a Negro was accused of having outraged and murdered a white woman. A mob, supposing him to be in Knoxville, marched on the jail there. A mob of Negroes formed to attack the white mob—the first record of such a thing in Tennessee—and the national guard fired on and dispersed the Negroes. A number of white men alleged to have been with the mob that attacked the jail have been indicted, and will be brought to trial. That is the whole story, except for sporadic clashes of little consequence for two days following." Alas, "that is (not) the whole story." The whole story of the mob is never written on the surface of the event. In charging the grand jury the Knoxville judge—T. A. R. Nelson—uttered this trite, but eternal truth, "The crimes committed by the mob are most damnable. They strike at the very root of civilization and decent society." There never yet was a lynching murder of which good men in its circuit were not made ashamed and afraid. For consciousness and conscience teaches them that lynching distills a moral poison in the body politic as sure to out crop in guilt and crime, as some diseases that afflict the physical man are to re-appear in suffering and death. On the same day that Knoxville was so stirred over the murder of a white woman, by a Negro who sought to assault her, Memphis was aroused by the most atrocious outrage of three young girls by three white men. But in Memphis the citizens left vengeance to the law. Which is the more impressive, the more effective, the better of the two examples—that of punishment by law or as inflicted in mob shamed Knoxville? The evil influence and effect of the mob way is so manifold and manifest that but one answer to the question can be imagined. But this is not all of the Memphis story. We quote the Commercial Appeal: "The same thing which happened on that road last Saturday morning was practically every night on the highway in the county. I understand" stated Sheriff Perry yesterday. "I have gathered information which leads me to believe that the dilemma presented to these young women is merely a repetition of what takes place in the lonely spots throughout the county." "How many young girls have been put out of automobiles and forced to make their way back to their homes as best they could will never be reckoned. How many others have yielded to the demands made upon them and have later remained silent to avoid possible disgrace is doubtless greater." "Ten or fifteen days ago four hoodlums picked up a girl on the street threw her into an automobile, took her towards the suburbs, where she finally escaped. Some of these cases are not for trial during the month of September. When trial comes it is quite probable that material witnesses will be absent." Two of the Memphis "hoodlums" were arrested. One of them acording to the News-Secimitar was already under indictment for assaulting a young girl "under circumstances of unprintable atrocity. Though indicted he had never been arrested." Where was Vardaman's "only protection of the white mans home" while this orgy of the pollution of Memphis homes was being perpetrated? Memphis has not been slack in the punishment of Negro criminals. She has had, too, her experience with Negro lynchings. And out of this race discrimination in enforcement of criminal law—rigid as to the blacks and lenient towards the white with occasional mob usurpations that poisoned the whole atmosphere—there rises a reaction that is the culture and the cover of the curse of hoodlumism in Memphis and elsewhere. The moral of it all is this: that double standard of law enforcement is death to essential features of civilized, society and industrial progress. This is as sure a fate of a state, as it is true of man that— "He who lives more lives than one" "More death than one must die." And in the reaction from mob violence, the Negro gets his revenge.

"A BLACK MAN WITH A GOAT BEA Along back in the late 60's, a St. Louis newspaper noted the unusual actions of a "black man with a goat beard." This man was making a practice of pushing colored women into the street cars and then fighting the protesting drivers on the "bob-tails" and both drivers and conductors on the "big cars." He did this so frequently it seemed that he could have no other business. Sometimes he fought with comrades: sometimes alone; but aided or single-handed, he fought daily, and many times daily. And he was arrested many times and Henry T. Blow and other "big" men of St. Louis would bail him out and pay his fines and caution and advise him, with no other result than his return to the street car lines and his battles with car men. Literally his "head was bloody but unbowed." This "black man with a goat beard" fought street car men so hard and so often everybody noticed it and after some hard, honest thinking, Erastus Wells, who owned a car line, and other wealthy men said, "No wonder the 'black man with a goat beard' fights so hard and so often. Why, he is right and the rest of us are wrong"; and they revoked old orders and gave new orders and colored women were permitted to enter street cars and sit down like other people and did not have to ride on the platform or car steps; and then the "black man with a goat beard," whose real name was Charlton H. Tandy, stopped fighting street car men, although he found plenty of other men whom it was only righteous for him to fight, and he fought them the same fierce and stubborn old way through many stormy years. Well, this, "black man with a goat beard" whose name was Charlton H. Tandy lay down and died last Monday, and you who blithely go along the ways his manhood made pleasing and secure through sacrifice, may translate what I write here into these words: Pause, hats off and heads bowed, in tribute to his worth to each of you and all of us. Schools, franchises, opportunities and dignities—there has lived no man made greater contribution than he to make these things ours. G. B. V. The St. Louis Arpus. PLEA FOR UNITY OF ORGANIZED ORGANIZED EFFORT To the Editor OF THE NEW YORK AGE It goes without saying that if ever there was a time for the colored race to get together and unite for one common cause it is now. Disunion, unless speedily condemned and forever vanquished, will keep us wandering in the wilderness for centuries to come. So why not the race get together, have a joyful lovefeast, and unite and show to the world that we be a race that's truly worth while! And this brings to my mind the great added good that could be accomplished if a lot of these little "side-shows" which claim to be doing so much for the race, when in fact the main object is self interest, would merge with the N. A. A. C. P. and the Civil Rights League, the two powerful forces which are entirely making themselves felt for good; the race would soon reach the goal. This so-called National Race Congress is robbing the above named powerful institutions of much good they could do, and are doing for our people. For like Ruth, the Race Congress is THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 THE LATE THEODORE ROOSEVELT, in memory of whom a fund of $5,000,000 is to be raised by the Roosevelt Memorial Association to erect a magnificent monument at Washington and to establish a public park at Oyster Bay, Long Island, his former home. The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily distorted document. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. gleaning the field, seemingly for self interest. Why not these preachers—for that's what the Race Congress is largely made up of—unite with the N. A. A. C. P, and the Civil Rights League and help make them the greatest power for good on earth? We have no time to stop here while crossing the stream of hatred, of distrustishment, of lynching, of Jim Crow discrimination, of being denied a man's chance, and expect to win out pulling a great load of discord among ourselves. We've gone through a great war "over there," and we are now engaged in the greatest战 of all—that of fighting for what we've already fought for—a safe place to live in this country, whose honor we gave our money and blood to uphold. We cannot all be captains, so let's get tokether, stop giving our money to the sharpers and stand by the leaders who are doing something and have shown to the world that they are truly worth while. J. C. CUNNINGHAM Washington D. C. BRITISH COLONIAL HYPOCRISY EXPOSED. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK MAIL. Allow me to congratulate you for reproducing the article "British Atrocities in West Africa," by Mai Gaskar in the Lagos Weekly Record. The mind of the white man is the Same the world over when it comes to dealing with the so-called "race problem," especially that part of the "problem" they term "social equality." In our own country, especially in the South, in England and elsewhere we hear white men grating about social equality. The truth of the matter is that these men are not really sincere in their denunciation of white people "socializing" with Negroes. Right here in America we have 12,000,000 Negroes. Of this number, 3,000,000 are Mulattos, i.e. of white men and colored women for the most part. The same situation exists in the West Indies and in Africa. Sir Ralph Williams who was once governor of the Windward Islands in the British West Indies and was afterwards sent to West Africa, has labored for years among the colored people of Africa and the West Indies. We were surprised to read such statements as coming from the lips of this "Colonial Administrator." However, Sir Ralph was only voicing the sentiment of the hypocritical Anglo-Saxon, when he said that the feeling of horror at the intimate associations between black men and white women does not arise from any feeling of social superiority but the cause is to be found much deeper; "it is an instinctive certainty that sexual relations between white women and colored men revolt our very nature." Of course the white man's nature does not revolt when the sexual relations are between white men and colored women. REV. EBENSEZER A. ABBOTT. FORCES AT WORK SOUTH TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AGE: I am handing you herewith editorial from the Vicksburg Daily Herald, on recent mob lawlessness and riots, particularly that at Knoxville. As suggested in a letter to you sometime ago, such utterances, and the taking of such high ground by southern newspapers should not be passed unnoticed by our own race papers. Without reference, to whether the Negroes will return South or remain away, one fact stands out, and that is some of us are here to stay, and have elected to fight it out where we are; this being true, you will help us and the cause wonderfully by due appreciation and recognition of the forces at work along lines which will help us and which we all must approve, both North and South, and L. therefore, commi- nish this editorial of the Vicksburg Daily Herald for the consideration given and the position it has taken.

M. E. ministers meeting and a gathering of prominent citizens at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday, Superintendent of Schools Chas. J. Koch appeared and retracted a statement that he had made to Carl J. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American, that the colored people should seek street-cleaners' jobs rather than ask for the appointment of a race member of the School Board or ask for the naming of a colored assistant superintendent of schools. Mr. Murphy went to see the superintendent week before last and asked why separate meetings had been arranged for white and colored teachers, the same to be held on September 11. After saying that the same had been advised by two prominent colored teachers, Mr. Koch began to talk about radical teachers, radical Negroes and asserted that the colored people would suffer should a race riot come, the whites being prepared. He closed the brief interview by making the reference to race riots. As the interview was published in the Afro-American of September 12, Bishop John Hurst brought the matter to the attention of the A. M. F. ministers meeting on Monday, September 15. He offered a resolution asserting that the superintendent was "temperamentally unfit" for his position and should be removed. It was adopted, signed by twenty-three ministers and forwarded to Mayor Browning. This fact was also published in the last issue of the Afro-American. The matter had thus reached a stage that Superintendent Koch got into communication with Bishop Hurst and asked for the privilege of appearing before the A. M. E. ministers last Monday. The superintendent admitted that he had said what was quoted in the interview, declared that he believed when he said it that the time had not come for the placing of a colored man on the school board and maintained that he was interested in the welfare of the colored people. Bishop Hurst brought to the attention of the superintendent that the colored people believed in race newspapers as much as whites believed in theirs, that they are tired of oppressive conditions and only would drop the fight against him should he send a signed statement that he was wrong. The Revs. C. H. Stephan and George F. Brang also went after the superintendent, after which he said he was wrong, in a matter in which he had no province (that is, race members of the board), and had just advocated equal salaries with whites for teachers in the colored high school. Carl J. Murphy told of the interview and criticized the buildings used by the colored high school. J. H. Murphy also spoke. Though the discussion was characterized by the utmost candor, the utmost good feeling prevailed. The matter will be dropped, should Mr. Koch send a letter of retraction. (Special to The New York Ad- CINCINNATI, Ohio.-The Liberian party touring the United States as guests of the nation, consisting of President-elect C. B. D. King and Mrs. King, with Hon. W. F. Worley, financial advisor to the Republic of Liberia, visited Cincinnati in their itinerary. They were entertained at the Hotel Sinton while in the city. It is said here this is the first member of the African race ever entertained at The Sinton. Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, retired Bishop of Africa of the Methodist Episcopal Church, J. G. Schmidtapp, a millionaire philanthropist of the city, and Dr. I. Garland Penn, Corresponding Secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, were principal hosts to the party. They had but a twenty-four hour stay in the city which was crowded with features of entertainment and opportunities to see the racial and commercial progress of the people of the Queen City. During their visit the party was taken to the model and modern housing movement on Walnut Hills in Cincinnati which is the work of Mr. Schmidtapp. This model community work has attracted the attention of leading social workers everywhere and it was appro- PRINCESS ANNE ACADEMY In order to complete the new buildings at Princess Anne Academy and to have them ready to offer you the best advantages, we have postponed the opening of school to OCTOBER 15th.

Mayor Galvin received President King and party at the City Hall in the presence of seventy-five white and colored leaders. Secretary Penn introduced the citizens to the President-elect. Bishop Hartzell presented President King to the Mayor. The Bishop explained the new day which was on for Liberia and of the hopeful outlook. Mayor Galvin most gracious and courteous in his come to the President and party to the city. Following the Mayor's reception Mr. Schmidtapp entertained at luncheon in the Sinton Hotel to select party with the President, Mrs. F. King and Mr. Worley. Attending this luncheon were Mr. Miller, another interested white friend of the race, President Hinsch of the Fifth-Third National Bank, Dr. W.H. Wehrly, District Superintendent Cincinnati District, West Ohio Conference, Dr. E.C. Wareing, editor Western Christian Advocate, Misses Campbell and Phillips of the War Camp Community Service, Secretary Pein and Bishop Hartzell. The Bishop appeared at all functions in the garb of the Knighthood granted by the Liberian government to those who have served the Republic in a period of crisis. The Chamber of Commerce had the presidential party on an automobile tour of the city. The auto was appropriately decorated with flags of the United States and Liberia intertwined. As the party drove through the city citizens seemed greatly interested. The great function of the visit was at the Colored Y. M. C. A. Auditorium when a hundred banqueters representing the most prominent colored men and women of Cincinnati sat down with the presidential party. Looking down was a crowded gallery to hear the addresses, Secretary I. Garland Penn, chairman of the committee, was toast master. Joseph L. Jones, a prominent business man, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of Cincinnati's colored population. When Dr. Penn introduced President King as about to enter upon the greatest day for the Liberian Republic, in her history and that it was fortunate that he should return to his country from the Peace Conference by way of Cincinnati and the United States, the assembly arose as one man, waved and cheered the President before he began his address. The address was sincerely thoughtful and informing. The address by Hon. W. F. Woolsey, financial advisor to the Republic, concerning the loan of five million of dollars by the United States government and the purpose of such loan and what it will mean for the development of the country, was of the most encouraging nature. Other addresses were delivered by Lieutenant Gow, who was born in South Africa, and Bishop Hartzell. The entire banquet party went to Walnut Hills for another great meeting which closed the visit. The committee who had charge of arrangements are among Cincinnati's most prominent colored citizens. They are: Dr. L. Garland Penn, Chairman; W. Philip Dahney, assistant paymaster city treasurer's office; General Secretary Y. M. C. A., H. S. Dunbar; President W. J. Decatur; Colored Industrial School; George W. Hayes, former member Ohio Legislature; Principal F. M. Russell, Douglas School and Joseph L. Jones, Proprietor Central Regalia Co. leaders as Dr. D. P. Roberts of Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, Dr. B. F. Smith, Park Street, M. E. Church, Dr. E. H. Oxley, Protestant Episcopal Church and a host of others. Cincinnati feels and has been told that her, welcome to a live Negro President was the greatest yet. STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-ne-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-ne-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is comb the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water for anything else will make it kink again. Kink-ne-more is a wonder worker. So manyhonely does it work its own task one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is no another preparation in the world like it. It offers a reversal of flipper for any head of hair that Kink-ne-more will straighten. : Kinko-no-more is a vegetable compound. It is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin, falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and boosts it soft and glossy. Remember Kinko-no-more is also a guarantee to do as it is called for: I will tend to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kinko-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair, and I will tend to anyone on the receipt of money order or express money order.

It is proposed in about twenty of the sixty-four parishes of the State to extend the term to six months and to increase the average pay of colored teachers to $30 per month. Some of these twenty parishes are proposing to pay colored primary teachers as much as $40 per month and to run the colored schools of that character as long as eight months. In the cities like New Orleans, Shreveport, Alexandria, Monroe, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Natchitoches and one or two others the pay of colored teachers and the terms of the school have always been better than in the rest of the State and offered better facilities in the matter of equipment for the work. As you know, however, even in these places conditions have not been half as good for colored as for white people, by comparison either in buildings used in equipment in pay of teachers or in the number of schools or grades." Better Pay on Plantations "Colored laborers, are getting better pay on the plantations and farms, but not shorter hours, than before the war, and plantation and farm hands have as usual no rent to pay for the cabins occupied and the garden spots given them on which to grow vegetables. They can get credit for provisions, etc., at the plantation store, but contract is under-tood or written to bind the laborer to work and not leave. Share-workers and tenants raising cane or cotton or rice are advanced tools, implements, mules, etc., to work the land when needed, but they are not allowed weighers at the scales or representative to check the weighing of their produce." "It is ridiculous, not to say absurd, for any Negro to say he finds conditions better here. Don't you remember that Negroes answering an invitation to meet the welfare committee of white men not long ago were told as soon as they got into the meeting place that the committee was ready to hear what Negroes wanted, but that the question of the Negro's right to exercise the right of voting would not be allowed to be discussed at all, and that that must be agreed to before any discussion whatever would be entertained, and that the Negroes left the meeting place without a chance to demand the main thing that they wished to enjoy." A. Woman's View of It. "Last month I made a trip to a little place, Center, Texas, just this side of Longview. The white people there are like hounds trying to start a riot and the colored people are treated like dogs. Whenever one starts to appeal to the Government for something that is just for us, some old drag like Campbell cuts us off. If our leading men would stand by us we could do so much better. The trouble is they are bought for a sum of money. Whenever our house women in the south learn that the Negro man can only rise through her moral support then we will do a little better.

I am a widow and I make them treat me with respect. I want justice for myself and my sons. The way we have to put up with things here in the South, we are the same as slaves. We pay the same railroad fares and are cooped up in one coach with one toilet, and one water cooler. If a woman has a girl child she simply can't use the toilet. And the men show no respect for a woman on a train. A respectable colored woman has a poor chance to protect herself traveling here in the South." The following clipping taken from the New Orleans Times-Pacayune of Sept. 17 was given as an additional reason why it will be hard to persuade Negroes who have left the South to return: The nude body of a Negro, believed to have been hanged, which was apparently shipped here for exhibition purposes, was found in a box at Freight Shed No. 1 of the Illinois Central railroad by the police Tuesday night. An odor from the box, supposed to contain canvases, aroused suspicion and led to opening of the receptacle. The upper portion of the body was apparently well mummified, but the lower portion was discolored and gave off a fetid odor. Superintendent of Police Mooney inspected the body Tuesday night and said that he would report the matter to Dr. W. H. Robin of the City Health Board and recommend that the cadaver be buried. He said he believed it should not be exhibited here under any circumstances, as it might tend to stir up race feeling. The body was tied or nailed in the box and was apparently arranged so that it might be leashed against the wall for exhibition. There was a rope around the neck and it is believed that the Negro was hanged. On the box was a tag bearing the address "R. L. Carroll, New Orleans, La." It came from somewhere in Texas, from what city could not be learned. VIRGINIA CHURCHMEN NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN. with the holy communion, the celebrant being Archdeacon Russell. The informal meeting which followed was presided over by Archdeacon Russell. A. H. Turner of St. Paul's and the Rev. S. W. Grice, warden of Bishop Payne, who attended the meeting of the Colored Convocation of North Carolina, at which the Rev. Dr. Patton, Campaign Manager, explained the object and purposes of the Nation-Wide Campaign, were asked to make statements. The Rev. Mr. Grice gave a pretty full explanation of Dr. Patton's address. The interest of the gathering was shown by the rapid fire of questions asked on every hand. After expressions of approval and endorsement from various members, W. H. Jennings was appointed secretary of the committee in charge of the movement in the Archdeaconry. Other members of the subsidiary committee are the Rev. Messrs. Grice, Miller, and Butler, Mr. A. H. Turner with Archdeacon Russell, chairman, ex-officio. The afternoon session was given over mostly to questions and answers relating to various phases of the Campaign and a discussion of wars and militia.

He showed the necessity for a general awakening upon the part of the church to a sense of her duty in meeting the various problems, changes, and adjustments brought about by America's participation in the great war. Bishop H. St. George Tucker, Kyoto, Japan, followed in a very fine address, in which he showed how the church had at first failed to visualize the real situation, and how now the Nation-Wide Campaign is the result of the Church's vision and her opportunity to shoulder her responsibilities. Archdeacon Russell ended the meeting with an earnest appeal to the representatives present to go home and make the campaign a complete success.
