Franklin and Randall are among the most industrious farmers in this section, and their farms are operated in a manner that secures the best results. Another interesting fact is reported from Belzoni. A group of twenty-five colored men have arranged to purchase the Barr and Miller place, near Isola, comprising 3,000 acres, for which they are to pay $25,000. This represents a cost of $75 per acre, and is considerably below the present market value of the land. The property is divided, into units of 100 acres and some of the men have taken several units each. being well cultivated and the weevil is outwitted by maturing and harvesting the cotton early.

Reese, cashier of the First National Bank, Itta Bena, is negotiating with the Federal Land Bank at New Orleans, La., for a loan to cover the transaction. In speaking of the deal, M. Reese said: "The Negroes bought the Barr and Miller place are intelligent and thrifty. In addition to equipping themselves properly they have set aside twenty acres for the erection of a modern gin which they will operate on their own account. The Negroes in our section, which includes Humphreys, LeFlore and Sunflower counties, have proved themselves good workers and some of them have become wealthy. The Rev. C. W. Evans, Methodist preacher and farmer, has accumulated about $50,000. Another Negro, whose total possession 18 years ago was a few mules, now owns a 1,600-acre place and is worth fully $100,000."

EQUAL SALARIES AND BETTER BUILDING Baltimore, Md.—Educational mass meetings at which increased and equal salaries for white and colored teachers and better buildings were urged were held at John Wesley M. E. Church last Sunday morning and Ames Memorial M. E. Church in the afternoon. The speakers included Dr. Ernest Lyon, James W. Chapman president of the school board; C. J. Koch, superintendent of public schools; the Rev. A. J. Mitchell and W. H. Maltbie. An $800,000 building for the Colored High School has been urged by the School Board. A committee went before the Board of Estimates Tuesday and urged that work on the new colored school in Northwest Baltimore be started within sixty days to prevent an appropriation of $170,000 from reverting to the city treasury.

WILSON REPUDIATED BY VOTERS TUESDAY Republicans Elect Candidates in Greater New York-Increase Majority in Legislature Dr. Charles H. Roberts Elected Voters in states holding elections on Tuesday expressed, in no uncertain terms, their condemnation of the Democratic party as led by President Wilson, by electing Republican candidates by much larger majorities than is usual in off-year elections. In New York City, Tamnany is overwhelmingly defeated, the returns on Wednesday morning showing that Republicans were elected to every important office in Manhattan and Brooklyn, save three—New York County Surrogate, Kings County Surrogate and Kings County Clerk. Apparently La Guardia is elected President of the Board of Aldermen; Curran, President Borough of Manhattan; Newburger, McCool, and Squiers, Judges, Supreme Court; Smith and Davis, Judges City Court, 1st District; Haskell and Dyke, Judges Kings, County Court; Lewis re-elected District Attorney, Kings County; and John Drescher, Sheriff. John C. Hawkins, the only Negro member of the present Assembly, is apparently re-elected in the 21st District, and Miss Margaret L. Smith is probably elected in the 19th District. Dr. Charles H. Roberts is elected as Alderman from the 27th Aldermanic District, with a majority of at least 700. The Assembly shows a Republican gain of at least ten seats. The Assembly will stand at about: Republicans, 100; Democrats, 48; Socialists, 2. In Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge, Republicans, is re-elected Governor by nearly 125,000 majority. A Republican Governor for Kentucky, Edwin D. Morton, is in at 15,000 majority. In Maryland the result is in doubt. Returns from the western counties are slow, but show Republican majorities, which may overcome Baltimore's Democratic vote. In New Jersey, Edwards, Democrat, has probably defeated Hughes, Republican, the question of prohibition and trolley car fares having much to do with the result. But Republicans control the Legislature by 16 to 5 in the Senate and 32 to 28 in the Assembly. One ray of hope for the Wilson party is that Mississippi has gone Democratic! Mrs. Cecelia Cahaniss Saunders, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., West Island street, in an address to "Come and See" Volunteers at the national headquarters, 600 Lexington avenue, took the position that colored women must be unionized to avoid race clashes and class riots. In this connection Mrs. Saunders said: "Organization for colored women is necessary in order to avoid race clashes and class riots. We have found for instance, among the dressmakers when there is a strike the dressmakers send to us for workers. Usually it we ask the question as to whether there is a strike they will tell us if not or they fail to mention the strike at all. We are now sending investigators when these applications come in order to prevent our girls filling the strikers' places and thereby causing the consequent antagonism. I see no reason why colored women should lend themselves to break down a union which has worked for years to get established. "Our colored women are entering industry for the first time, and they feel the great need for vocational guidance, industrial training, and organization."

J.—At the October meeting of the board of directors of the Roosevelt Memorial Institutional Temple for Negro Uphift, at the headquarters, $00 Broad street, all the members of the board were present, with several members of the Citizen* Committee. The books of the office were given a thorough examination and proved to be in perfect order. This being the first large and representative task undertaken by the colored people of New Jersey, the board of directors and the citizen's committee came in for much praise, a vote of thanks was given to the white daily newspapers and to the colored newspapers that have taken a friendly attitude towards the movement. Reports concerning the drive for the $100,000 were encouraging and the board hopes to complete the fund before Thanksgiving Day. The board ordered the fourth payment to be made on the property at once and appointed a committee to take the matter of repairs up with an architect. Among the notables present were Mayor Charles P. Gillen of Newark, Maj. Everett Colby, Nathan Harris, Philip Lindemann. THIRD RED CROSS RALLY FOR MEMBERS FOR 1920 No Increase in Cost of Memberships—Fee Remains $1 Despite High Cost of Living. There is no increase in the cost of Red Cross memberships for 1920 according to the slogan adopted by the New York headquarters of the Third Red Cross Roll Call, which opened November 2 and will close on Armistice Day, November 11. One of the official slogans emphasizes this—"The H. C. of L. hasn't hit Red Cross memberships. They're still ONE DOLLAR. Join!" Unsubstantial, rumors have indicated that a feeling of resentment exists among colored people throughout the country because of the attitude assumed by the Red Cross toward Negro nurses being sent abroad during the recent war. There is therefore considerable interest as to what will be the general course pursued by members of the race in response to the call for 1920 memberships. No Color Line in Relief Work. Emphasis is laid on the fact that whatever the organization's war record may have been, there can be no doubt as to its action in the many cases calling for relief, in which the needy comprised members of both races, in this country especially. Concrete evidence is to be found in the recent floods throughout parts of the South containing large Negro populations. The Red Cross gave prompt and efficient aid in these sections, and not in the smallest decree was there any evidence of racial discrimination. The most recent case in point followed when a fund of $25,000 was dispensed in relief work after the Chicago roots. It is the opinion of thoughtful leader leaders that to permit a feeling of restraint to control at this time when Americans are standing up to be counted as members of an organization that has excited the admiration of the world, would be to give color to the charge that the race lacks vision. It is declared that one shadow must not be allowed to obscure the good work of the Red Cross, through many years; and that the Negro will recognize the possibilities for welfare work among both white and colored. Mrs. Adalb B. Thomas superintendent of nurses at Lincoln Hospital, has been appointed an active member of the Committee o 100. PLIND SOLDIER LEAVES RED CROSS HOSPITAL Hopelessly blind, the result of a high explosive striking him in the face while doing duty in the Argonne Forest with the old Fifteenth regiment, Charles P. Braithwaite is at his home, 1352 Bergen street, Brooklyn, telling of discriminations that he refused to endure at a Red Cross Hospital in Baltimore. The hospital is situated at Evergreen, the handsome estate of Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett, and blind soldiers are being instructed along various lines of useful endeavor. Braithwaite says that when the Red Cross took charge of the institution discrimination began against him and the four other colored soldiers then there. A "Jim Crow" table and the allegation that the colored soldiers lacked sufficient intelligence to learn and other indignities are alleged to have been heaped upon them. They all left and Braithwaite came home to Brooklyn. He will enter an institution for the blind in this section of the country. (Special to The New York Times) Baltimore, Md.-George W. F. McMechen was the guest of honor at a banquet given at St. Peter Claver's hall. Among the 500 persons present were a number from out of town. The affair was given under the auspices of Monumental Lodge and was given as an appreciation of Mr. McMechen's election as grand exalted ruler of the Elks.

ALLEN, PAYNE AND TURNER Their Work Laid a Foundation for Future Generations—The Church Must Make Effective Business and Professional Advancement. By the REV. S. E.

I do not think that any true hist sight of the colossal achievements of namely, Allen, Payne and Turner—as set an example to their inheritors plied themselves to the exigencies events of far-reaching importance to helpful vision. They sacrificed their an age to come. Pioneers they were, their physical sight In view of the very extensive circulation of your journal and the unquestioned hold which it has upon the thoughtful members of our race throughout the world, I am asking you to permit the presentation, to your readers, of these thoughts that I have been privileged to write in regard to our race efforts through religious channels. I do not think that any true historian of the Negro race can ever lose sight of the colossal achievements of those great Churchmen of Negro birth, namely, Allen, Payne and Turner—and did not the labors of those great men set an example to their inheritors? Bishop Allen, Payne and Turner applied themselves to the exigencies of the hour, forecasting, as they did, events of far-reaching importance to future generations. They were men of helpful vision. They sacrificed their wealth, their time and their talents for an age to come. Pioneers they were, and builders for a future hidden from their physical sight. Undoubtedly, the shifting scenes of our racial experiences, both in the North as well as in the South, call for just such leadership as theirs. The vast army of southern Negroes which Bishop Turner brought into the African Methodist Episcopal Connection; yea, the multitudes in Africa and in the West Indies, need the necessary confidence in themselves as members of the human family, in order to become benefactors instead of simply beneficiaries of civilization. They need a stimulus of faith in the high ideals of the Church, that in turn, by their loyalty and support, she may be able to demonstrate to the world the divinity and wisdom of her mission to the race. our Church organization. The hardiness and growth of the African Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion, and the Negro Baptist connections, contribute must toward the utility and the virilite of Negro leaders in denominations governed by white men. In the North, in the South, in the East and in the West is to be heard the voice of God, crying—out of the needs of the Negro people—for that genius of mind, for that unflinching and unbribable Negro being who will lead our people to adjust themselves to the pressing necessity of universal race service, without moral or physician injury to other race groups. Other religious denominations, headed by white men, in Africa and in the isles of the sea, have been tickling the ears of our people too long with the false hope of social equality handed out to a few, while the commercial and political powers—which are the only human solutions of the equality of one man and one race with another—have been wrested from them. Even to this day they are deceiving the people of our race as to the right and ability of the Negro ministry to lead Negroes, by questioning the efficiency and extent of INDUSTRIAL W DENY SO INDUSTRIAL WORKERS DENY SCAB CHARGES Germantown, Pa. - At the first conference of industrial girls, held recently at Greenfields, the summer camp of the Germantown Association, under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association, the delegates protested against the accusation that they underbid the white girls, insisting that when they accept a lower wage scale it is through ignorance Fortmoutown, Pa. - At the first co- cently at Greenfields, the summer co- under the auspices of the Young Wor- gates protested against the accusation insisting that when they accept a low The conference declared that the of the wage received by white girls.

It was also stated that colo- red girls working on the same work as white girls in a shirt factory receive one cent a dozen less for the same work in many factories and that only the lower grade of work is open to them. Nine Occupations Represented. There were present at this important conference twenty-four delegates and thirteen volunteer helpers and local and national secretaries. The delegates represented the seven clubs of colored industrial girls in the East Central Field, four in Philadelphia, two in Baltimore and one in Germantown, comprising a club membership of over five hundred. They were drawn from nine occupations including a group of shirtwaist makers, four in domestic service and others employed as waitresses, hosiery mill operators, embroidery and clothing factory operators, houndresses, dentistry assistants and teachers. The conference was opened with a discussion led by Miss Eva D. Bowles of the Young Women's Christian Association. To the Editor of the Age: WHEN YOU SEE IT IN The Age YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT.

Power of Race Consciousness. My conception of the stretching forth of the hands of Ethinola unto God is really that which many call, in regard to the "individual, "self-consciousness," and in regard to the race, "race consciousness." This prophesy, which is of Ethiopian origin, is in keeping with the appeal which we hear on every hand: "Man, know thyself." And this "race consciousness" is instantaneous with the conviction of heroic powers in ourselves; instantaneous with pure conceptions of (Continued on Second Page) WORKERS CAB CHARGES New York Age) conference of industrial girls, held re- amp of the Germantown Association, women's Christian Association, the dele- n that they underbid the white girls, her wage scale it is through ignorance great need during the present indus tion and all the things girls like to do in clubs were brought up for consideration.

The creation of a religious atmosphere in all club activities, the inauguration of an active campaign for new members and the putting into effect a recreational program were some of the other recommendations made. While the conference took action only on the industrial standard mentioned in Recommendation 2, the discussion brought out the difficulties confronting married women in industry. In discussing domestic service as an occupation it was decided that the objection to it lay in the long hours and the irregularity and indifference of the work. PRICE FIVE CENTS.

With this conception, or faith, the individual or the race is then able to enter into the ordinances of the new baptism by fire and blood fearlessly; from which trying experiences he mounts unto the heights of divine and satisfying habitations, whereunto he brings the other members of his family or race that cling to him, by reason of his own representative baptism. This reaching lorth, therefore, is to be known as the obliteration of faith But what preceased this faith of ours for an unfolding? This conviction of heroic powers; our pure conception of mind; and the incentive unto experimental good works that evidenced noble qualities of soul, how came they? It is the product of the insistent voice of the minister of the Word: "Thus saith the Lord God that doeth wonders;" the same being interwoven in our moral fibre. Thus through the processes of suggestion the minds of the hearers are moulded to the race purposes which that particular minister or missionary represents. And the result of such a race consciousness is the expansion of creative powers; in the establishment of laws by himself for self-regulation and self-protection; the safeguarding of the means of life, such as the promotion of commercial and industrial enterprises, and the cultivation of agricultural lands; as well as contributing to the heightening of the true moral sense of life of the race. As a race, we have had a view of the mirror that has reflected our enabling qualities. And we have seen by means of that mirror the ligaments that do hold intact our virile strength in this day when other race groups are striving for readjustment. He, of whatever race, bringeth upon himself a lasting course who strives to shut this mirror again from the view of the Negro race. Our cry, our demand is for co-operation with all other race groups in all enterprises, and freedom to correct our own wrongs, cure our own ills and shortcomings, as well as to stimulate our healthful growth and expansion. Hence, the necessity for the moneyed man of the Negro race to follow suit with the moneyed men of the white race, and assist largely the missionary work of all the Negro Churches. For the missionaries of a people are really the advance agents sent forth to prepare the way for our group co-operation with that other group of our race. The Negro missionary does not open the way for subjugation and exploitation, but for co-operation. By reason of our awakened race-consciousness, the necessity will soon be forced upon the moneyed men of the race—even in cooperation with white men—to expand commercially and industrially. And this shall be for the saving of the Negro people throughout the world. We in America and the West Indies are a remnant race saved unto this very day for the beginning of our race reconstruction work. And when you go as business men, commercial men and industrial workers, will you go among those people as having no religious feeling because you have no Negro missionary there and no Negro missionary in the hospital? If religious matters we do to depend upon the men of another race in a Negro country, then our other causes will be weakened. The people in foreign lands measure everything, every effort of real worth, in relation, first to the Church. Work of Race Transformation The moral force is the only conserving element in human life. And the Church, through Christ, her Spiritual Head—who is the visible evidence of the indwelling of God in humanity unto all good word and work—is the only contributing agent in the work of race transformation. Men may boast as much as they please in reference to the great progress of our race in the South; but I confidently believe that if African Methodist preachers, together with Negro Baptist preachers, had not penetrated during reconstruction days, where the Northern white preachers never had the power to have set in; and instead of there being, as is now the case, a self-sustaining Negro population with vast potentialities for racial preservation and regeneration, we could be witnessing a return to the old African customs of eating food sacrificed to the dead, a return to the "devil dances." which would have resulted in a debauched peasantry, making void the efforts of our educational institutions. The great need of our Church is for men of constructive ability; men who are gifted with a breadth of vision; men who will enable our Church to build wisely and methodically upon the foundation of our fathers. There are breakers ahead for our race in its unfolding of faith, or "race-consciousness." There are industrial breakers, social breakers, and political breakers. And there is no other institution in the world outside of the church which would because divinely ordained from the breadth of lending the necessary force to the leadership to the rank and file of our race, in order to work with our cause. A large part of the early history of England is seen to have been only the evolution of religious principles, in their various stages, setting the standards for racial integrity and national growth. These benefits of the Church to the race are followed by institution in cases of obedience; and they are followed with evitable curses of moral and physical seridom in the case of disobedience, as is evidenced in the history of other race groups. Church Relation to Everyday Life. In view of these facts, would it not be well for the leaders in our great Church and in our sister churches administered by Negroes—to organize a campaign after the order of the Evangelical Alliance, that will have for its subject the bringing back into the fold of all the churches for active race service the great army of lawyers, doctors, educators, country school teachers and lodge officers, who now consider their calling to be independent of the Church? They need to be convinced that it is the Church, in her ministry to our common humanity, which—through their mothers and fathers before them—has made effective and permanent for them these very fields of benevolent activity. Furthermore, they need to be told that by their independence of the Church, they are causing the rank and file of the race to drift away from the moral landmarks of an advancing civilization, as well as weakening their hold upon those forces toutes puissantes which makes for racial integrity and service. It is the mission of the Church to consecure all the men and women of the race to their various vocations, as she consecrates the minister to preach the Gospel; for when every act, of ours is consecrated, the farmer, the mechanic, the washerwoman, the professional man, the commercial man becomes priests unto God, who make our lives, through these channels of activity, a blessing unto posterity. Thereby the Church educates us all in regards to the problems of everyday life. This mission of the Church also includes a personal concern in the forces that are at work among us. Nevertheless, it is quite clear that the Church cannot help the race; she cannot hope to lead in the high stages of social progress, if her ministers profess ignorance, or lack courage, or manifest indifference to the crying needs of the hour. We need all elements of the race in the race Church, because the mission of the Church is to minister to all sorts and conditions of men. The educated and wealthy classes of the race are only finished workmen who hold in, their possession Nature's commission to go forth and prepare a habitation for all the brethren. But for purely racial reasons, we need to fully imbue the prepared men and women of our race with the Spirit of the Christ, so that they may be more fully acquainted with the great pain heear of the Church, and that they may be to seek her soothing graces of comfort and blessing in the hours of our race's seventiest trials. The aftermath of the war in Europe—still unfolding—together with the humiliation of the Haitian Republic are matters to which we need to give the most serious thought. In the year 1915 I wrote in an article published in the "Voice of Missions" that "questions arising out of this great war—not affecting us alone, but other races as well—will give impetus to world forces which will severely test our constructive abilities, and will lead our enemies to presume upon our weakness as a race, because of cohesion and the seeming absence of spiritual piety; and they will more than that require our right to contribute—in proportion to themselves—for the benefit of our common humanity of whatever hue. It is in the vortex of such conflicting opinions and passions that the Church THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1919 (Special to THE NEW YORK AM) (Greenboro, N. C.—An interesting ceremony took place on the campus of the Agricultural and Technical College on the afternoon of October 30, when First Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell of the 308th regiment, N. C., was awarded the degree of guerilla action during the war in France. The citation, which was signed by Petain, Marshal of France, commander of the French armies of the East, said of Lieut. Campbell: "Officer of admirable courage. Seeing a wounded lionion agent fall in the middle of a field swept by violent fire, he went to his assistance in plain view of the enemy and brought him within." The honorary award was composed of the Officers' Training Corp of the school under command of Sergeant W. G. Green, U. S. A., headed by the school band. The award was made by Col. Floyd, U. S. A., after which the corp passed in review. Lieut. Campbell has also been awarded the American D. S. C. and recommended for promotion to a captaincy. He was formerly in command of the R. O. T.

(Special to The New York Age) Philadelphia, Pa.—Booker T, Washington, Jr., son of the founder of Tuskegee Institute, was principal speaker at the Educational Conference last night in Penn Memorial Church, Thirty-ninth street and Powellton avenue. The conference was held under the auspices of the allied organizations engaged in welfare work among Philadelphia Negroes. The keynote of his talk was a childlike picture of the colored people. He pointed out how close the colored people of the country are getting together on all matters affecting the welfare of themselves. He cited many instances of noteworthy sacrifices on the part of thousands of fathers and mothers that their children may have a better chance in the race of life, and concluded by making a most elegant plea for a continuation of such sacrifices. He said his merit: The truly marvelous gains in education, agriculture, industrial activities in home building and home buying, is creating a new epoch among our Negro people. We are living in momentous times. Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands, one hand double-fisted, with grim determination to force a place under the sun, the other hand outstretched to his brother in helpfulness, encouragements co-operation, helpfulness encouragements, co-operation, unity and optimism. The world conflict, whatever else is has done for or against the colored man, he served to drive together in one purpose and one hope the whole race in this country.

C.-Prof. Robert T Kerlin, head of the English department of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., after reviewing Scott's book "The American Negro in the World War," gave voice to certain expressions with regard to the injustices visited upon Negro people in America, in the following statement. "Let me say that I have been dipping into the history of the American Negro in the world war and reading it with satisfaction. I must also express my abhorrence and shame at the violence now directed against the Negro. Every man must stay in film and pride of humanity must do what he can to remove the blot." "The more I read your race papers, the greater is my sense of your wrongs and your forbearance, the greater my estimate of your virtues and my realization of your suffering and the magnitude of pain it begins within me to see one part of the wretched human family thus inflicted injury and insult upon another part! My parents were slaveholders of Kentucky, but could slavery have been less than these multiplied lynchings and mob murders. For from it, I think. My parents, I am sure, loved their Negro servants, in the old days. God knows that I desire above all things at the present time that I have the privilege of that faithful kind, available and treated justly and humanly, according to the principles of our national Constitution and the teachings of our religion. (Signed). ROBERT T. KERLIN. The leaven is at work. A better South is evidently striking for an articulate voice. Prof. Kerlin is evidently one of this growing number of enlightened Southerners who appreciate the fact that present conditions cannot continue without hurt to both races.

By ‘genera: Conyent in| the gree metropolis moving time has been changed from the merry month of May to the more sober and dreary days of October and November. Then Iahe dwellers in urban localities gather together their chattels and seek an abiding place for the winter acason at Teast. This year the change of location was masle under greater disadvant- anes than usuul, owing to the scarcity of cligible apartments and the added expense of draying and trucking. rene who possessed fairly adequate quveters made the best of their sur- roundings and denied themselves the novelty of a'change” of base. Those who were forced for ene reason of ane other to move spent weeks in bant- ing a suitable location and took refuge finally in the best that offered. . Business plants, like The Age..who were obliged to change quarters for reasons of growth and greater facili- tics, were put to great inconvenience and suffered ‘serious drawbacks in ef- fecting the transfer and at the same time maintaining efficient acrvice. The present issug of The Age was brought out under these unfavorable conditions, Tis readers and subscribers will therefore understand and appreciate the cause of any defects or short- comings that may be apparent. As Soon as the new plant is estah- lished in full running order, it is hoped that the improved facilities will ford marked improvements in the service rendered by The Age to its constituency | , The Southern Sociological Congress has worked out a progran for bringing about a better relation between the races in the.South The program opené as follows: “First, that the Negro should be liberated from the blighting = fear of injustice and mob violence. To thié end it is impcratively urgent that lynching be prevented.” : ‘Then follow four points in the program for preventing lynching The very first of these points vitiates all the others It reads a: follows: : r1. By .the enlistment of Negroes themselves in preventing crimes that provoke mob violence.” | ‘This point vitiates all the others for the simple reason that it ‘calls upon the Negro race to perform an impossibility, to do some thing: that the white‘people, neither in America nor any other coun- try, have been able to do. Negroes are mobbed and lynched in the United States for everything from, rape, on through murder and arson and robbery, down to insulting (?) a white man. Now, how would it be possible, even if they were willing to-try, for the law: abiding Negroes of the country to stop the commission-of these crimes and “crimes”? The “superior” white race has not been able { prevent crime among its members; how can it be expected that the Negro race should be able to prevent it among theirs? But this first point does more; it makes an apology for lynching. It really means to say, not “crimes” that provoke mob violence, but “the crime” that provokes mob violence. Here we have the old lie that will not down, that rape is the cause of lynching. % But suppose that rape was the crime that provokes lynching, why, should dee: nt, law-abiding Negroes be called upon to prevent it? How is any decent colored man or woman going to know that some degenerate brute is going to commit rape? Decent colored people know no more about black criminals than decent white peo- | ple know about white criminals. “And why should they be called upon to maké themselves a detective agency to suout out crime? In the first place, decent colored people are busy trying to earn their honest daily bread, and have no time for such volunteer detective work. . It is the business of the law. to find out and punish criminals. aw abiding colored people do not shield criminals, even-of their | own race When they pratest against lynching, they are not con-! ioning thé crime and the criminal, they are protesting against the! fact that the law has not been allowed to take its course. They | want to,gee black criminals punished, but punished in accordance | with the law and surrounded by the guarantees gives to white ' rifninals, : . : : *. | Jaw abiding-colored people also recognize that so long as lynch! ‘tw is tolerated, no innocent colored man is secure. | 4 let the Southern’ Sociological Congress in. its fight against | yachings condemn it unreservedly, Let it eall for the punishment of he colored’ criminal by law, and for the punishment of the white: yncher by law. * bag, Ee © {: The fest of the program ie good. : . #26 J | According, to the courts, the time is | wot yet ripe for the rendition of opera in German.

We cited the petty. bysiness in which it engaged in New York City, the business of, stopping some people from singing grand opera in the German language—as though it made any difference to the listeners in what language a grand opera is sung. We also stated that the Legion, unless its-leadership was of the wisest kind, might become the instrument of more sinister purposes. The Legion in New York undertook a petty job; and mow the Legion ‘in South Carolina has undertaken a sinister job.” ‘On October 28 the state legion of South Carolina met at Colum- bia to elect delegates to the national convention of the American Legion soon to meet in Minneapolis. The state convention elected 18 delegates; and in addition to electing these delegates, it passed two resolutions. One of these was a ‘resolution condemning the I. W.-W., and the other wa’ a resolution condemning the National ‘Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “In adopting the resolutions it was stated that-the Legion mem- bers wanted it known that there was no room in South Carolina for the I: W. W. or the N. A. A.C. P. . From the Associated Press dispatch it appears that when the Fesolution about the Advancement Association was under discus- sion some of the members of the legion held that to adopt the meas- ure would be an unwise step, as it might incite feeling among the colored people of the state. This sentiment was expressed by a Mr. Harry Hughes of Walhalla and a Mr. Tom Legrone of Greenville. But they were opposed by two fireaters, L. W. Harris of Anderson and B. B. Elkoff of Norway, who took the position that “the or- ganization of Negroes should be made to know that their activities against peace between the races are not to be allowed in South Carolina” =" : ‘ ; “Activities against peace between the races"! That would be ¢nough to make members uf the Advancement Association in South Carolina laugh if it were not for the fact that these legioners aré in| deadly earnest about it. People’ who are openly and legitimately fighting against lynching, fighting against being segregated as though-they were lepers, fighting for a comrnon share in the public school fund, the common right to vote, and for common justice in the courts,—these people accused of activities against peace between the races! As we said, it would be laughable if it were not that the mea making the accusation constitute a powerful organization, an organi- zation which is destined to have, perhaps,-a stronger influence in|}, South Carolina than any other organization in the state. It may {| be that these men mae their accusation through ignorance of the |. tims and purposes of the Advancement Association ; if they did it} is their own fault, for the Association had been trying for years |: 10 have the white people of the South know and understand ex-| actly what it stood for, . But we feel that the action of the South Carolina Legion was} | jot takén through ignorance. We feel that what they did is only one 1 shase of the reign of terror which is being instituted. There is ay letermination in the South to crush out the Advancement Associa- |« ion and any other Negro organization which stands for equal rights ind opportunity under the law. There is also a determination to tamp out the circulation of all radical and progressive Negro ai ications, . But there is one thing that cannot be stamped out, and the Soutt le ‘arolina Legion and the whete South had just as well learn what it is | ¢ Yothing can stamp out the NEW SPIRIT in the Negro’s heart and § oul.

YORK AGE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1919 VIEWS and .REVIEWS .- Boe James Weldon Johanson, Contributing Editor. | ee ee t = -A good many plana have been suggested in the past few month for suppressing mob violence, but the most daring and origina! plat yet suggested comes from Senator Harrison of Mississippi. It i such a plan as could come only out of Misiissippi. The, Senator a few days ago put forward his plan in the form o a bil] which he introduced in the Senate: This bill as introduced b; Senatoe. Hartisoh provides thet the War Department should issu rifles, SAsfol¢ and machine guns to the states for home guard defens and for the purpose of protection against violence of radical elements So far, this sounds very well. But let us listen to some of th remarks made by the honorable gentleman from Mississippi and_w. shall get at the full significance of what was in his mind when framed and introduced his bill. He said'im part: “Due to unrest in certain sections of the country and im certain localities of other sections in the country, the people are desirous of or- ranizing themsctves dor their own protection and safety. "The government has large supplies of riffes, pistols and machine guns, and other war equipment carried over from the war which can be utilized in this way to a very good advantage. “Articles that have appeared in certain pamphlets and periodicals edited by unwise and radical Negro leaders and Bolshevists, are advocat- ing such doctrines that might encourage the thoughtless elements to threaten the peace and safety of miany- peoples. It is to guard against any ittempt upon the part of these dangerous elements that the law- abiding white, people should take precautionary steps to protect them- selves and their communities. I-know of no better way than the or- ganization of home guards and-the government can render a great serv- ice by encouraging auch organizations and equipping them with these surplus rifles, pistols and machine guns, and other material, to guard against aay auch “attempt om “In the present circumstances under faw'there is no way for the government to furnish these weapons, and J have introduced the bill in the belief, not only that it will pass, but that it may be of immeasur- able benefit to’ many peoples and many localities.” It is necessary to read only the first paragraph of ghe above quotation to know what Senator Harrison is driving at. When a man of his type says, “the people,” he means white people. When he thinks of the people of Mississippi, although more than half the population is colored, the colored people of Mississippi are not in his mind. ‘There may be those who do not know that when a Southern statesman speaks of the people he means only white people. For such persons Senator Harrison makes his meaning plain by stating ‘early a little further on that the purpose of his bill is to have white cople take precautionary steps to protect themselves. Senator Harrison's bill would be more in accord with actual | onditions and facts if it called on the War Department to, issue if_es, pistols and machine guns to the colored people; for each of he fecent clashes between the races was caused by the aggression f lawless whites. It is the colored people who need and are en- itled to protection. | Senator Harrison's idea of mob violence is a clash between the aces in which Negroes have the audacity to resist the mob.. There- ore, his rernedy for mob violence is to arm the mob so efficiently hat no one would dare to resist it. SOUTHERN SOCIOLOGICAL PROGRAM. According to the Portiand, Oregon, Advocate, colored voters may not be in a position to nonrinate the next President of the United States, but they will surely be the balance of power in the next election, “This may be so, but it depends on how wisely this power is exercised as to whether it will swing the balance. Organiza- tion and vigilance on the part of the voters are essential elements in this rawation, # 5 - Another sign of the awakening of the church to the living issues.of the day was the action of the Huard of Rishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in referring to the -new exec utive council an investigation of the work among Negroes.

DUDLEY, President GREENSBORO, N. C. If you suffer from time to time, pains in your hips, shoulders, knees and other large joints, your muscles swell, and pain you, your trouble has probably been diagnosed as Chronic Rheumatism and the treatment employed unsuccessful. Sufferers usually use liniments and plasters sometimes dangerous habit-forming drugs—just to get temporary relief from the pain. Those parts of the body affected are burnt and blistered, but the trouble returns with even greater severity than before. In some cases rest and medicinal baths are advisable, but not always is this mode of treatment possible. To those who must keep up and going, who cannot afford expensive trips, baths and the loss from work, Prescription C-2223 comes as a blessing. Prescription C-22223 The Great The Great Blood Purifier The Great Blood Purifier This concentrated liquid treatment contains certain well-known medicinal ingredients which possess great virtue in the treatment of Chronic Rheumatic Conditions, as well as other troubles due to an impure condition of the blood. Most medical authorities agree that but few drugs are useful in the treatment of diseases of this character and some of those usually employed by physicians are used by the manufacturers in the preparation of the C-2223 Treatment. In fact this prescription was worked out and used by a specialist for years in his private practice, and only after this successful doctor retired was this formula placed in the hands of the present manufacturers. Greater care is now being used in the compounding of this same splendid prescription, for the 2223 Laboratory use only the best ingredients obtainable and the greatest care in properly compounding the prescription.

ONE hears now and then about "a well-balanced cast," but if you really want to see a well-balanced cast hie yourself to the Lafayette Theatre this week, where "The Invisible Foe" is being put on by the Evelyn Ellis Company. In presenting this dramatic offering the Quality Amusement Corporation again does itself proud and the patrons are loudly declaring: "It's a good show!" Last week it was the acting of Lawrence Chenault that occasioned profuse praise, and this week Clarence E. Muse as Stephen Pryde, is provoking unstinted laudations. It is near the close of the last act that Mr. Muse is most effective and wins applause despite the fact that he is seen in an unpopular role. As for Miss Evelyn Ellis, she plays the part of Helen Brandsby with a warmth and sincerity that engages the attention and sympathy of the audience from the start. The more one sees of Miss Ellis' acting the more confirmed does she become in the opinion that she has a bright career ahead as an actress. Arthur Simmons, Charles Olden, James H. Gray, Carlotta Freeman, Arthur T. Ray, Inez Clough and Rose Lee Tyler rise to the occasion and the work of each may be referred to in a most complimentary vein. In fact, there is not a jarring note in the cast. There is but one stage setting in the play, but it has been selected with artistic skill. The actors also stress their parts with taste. "The Invisible Foe" should rank as one of the Lafayette's big artistic successes of the season. BISHOP-DESMOND CO. TO PLAY "DE LUXE ANNIE" Patrons of the Lafayette will have an opportunity to see the popular company headed by Cloe Diamond and Andrew Bishop, which will open Monday, November 10, in "De Luxe Annie" the last dramatic success in which this aggregation appeared before leaving Chicago. Critics of the drama who have been pointing the finger of scorn at the absurdities of "the long arm of coincidence" are answered in "De Luxe Annie." This ingenious play starts with a prologue laid in the smoking room of a Dalman sleeper. A physician expounds the matter that there is no such thing as chance, and so-called coincidences are part of the underlying plan of life. Having dislocated to start the famous "long arm" the first aid of play critics, the physician begins the story of "De Luxe Annie" in which the situations whirl along rapidly from climax to climax, telling one of the strangest stories ever told on the stage. In the cast will appear Walter Robinson son, H. L. Pryor, G. Edward Brown son, R. Gregg, Andrew Bishop, Clee Beasmond, J. Gregg, J. Herman Lionel Monaco, Matthew V. Wilke, Elizabeth Williams, Barrington Carter Henry Johns and Irene Thugtown. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS AT PUTNAM NOVEMBER 1 E. C. Brown, president and general manager of the Quality Amusement Corporation has decided that prior to the leaving of Abbie Mitchell and company for a trip throughout the West, he will present this remarkable aggregation of players in that soul stirring drama "A Fool There Was" during the week of November 10, at the Putnam Theatre Brooklyn. There is nothing artificial about this play. The scenes and situations of this drama deal with every day truths, with all situations and perplexities as frankly and brutally as a surgeon performing an operation. AGE EDITOR ON NEGRO MUSIC. Hampton, Va.—JAMRO Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, speaking recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on "The Significance of NEGRO Music," said: "This music of ours is a very wonderful thing. Perhaps, after all, it is going to tobe the greatest means that we have not ouy of forging forward, but also of working ourselves into the heart of this great country. I do not believe that any people in the world can sit under the spell of our music when it is sung as it is at Hampton, and not feel their hearts melt down. Any prejudices which they might have would most surely melt away. I am so glad that Hampton keeps it alive. "I want you to realize what a great institution you have here, backed up by the faith and the work and the teachers. Make the most of all Hampton offers. There is absolutely no one path by which a man of a people or a race can succeed. It is by doing all the things that must be done. "You not only belong to a great people, but to a great country." physically, but you also belong to a great race spiritually, and that is your main strength. This very music you sing is proof of it. So long as you have this great spiritual endowment which God has given you—this gift of song, of laughter, of cheerfulness, of charity, and of love—nothing can oppress you." MUSICIANS GO TO LONDON Robert J. Young, of Baltimore, is in New York City and will sail for London, where he will rejoin Young's Orchestra.
