The action at the local school institutions has the sanction of the people of Poughkeepsie.

NEW YORK BOY HEADS FLORIDA SAILORS NEW CHICAGO HOTEL DROWN IN N. Y. RIVER Dr. Mason, Financial Secretary, arranging for Financial Drive in New York and Vicinity The Key James L. Mason of Livingstone College, Sallisbury, N.C., who has been speaking in New England, was in this city last week making arrangements for a special rally. For over 20 years he has been Livingstone's successful financial secretary and principal lecturer in the United States and Canada. Interviewing prominent members of the alumni here and in this section, the treeling is general that the time is ripe for promoting a drive for $20,000. The pressing needs are a new central building to be known as Price Memorial Hall, building the auditorium; enlarging bodge Hall, supplying general heating plant; and $10,000 additional towards an endowment. A mass meeting will be held here by prominent representatives in the near future. In an interview with Dr. Mason, he said During a generation layingstone college had done much in promoting the educational enhancement of the South. From the first it has been largely sustained by voluntary contributions. In its activities it is broadest than any one denomination. President D. C. Suggs is proving himself a worthy successor of the honored Dr. Phelan and the scholarly Dr. W. H. Holder. With nearly 600 students now in attendance the largest work and increasing demand make it evident that layingstone college should have an endowment of at least $500,000. The world wide war has quickened the thoughts and awakened the energies of tens of thousands as to the importance of education. Night school classes are contemplated to meet the growing demand of many of more advanced years applying to its for instruction. The schools concerning the illiterate Negro soldiery in France have responded widely. The South, too, any other country must have public schools or fail. Can (Continued on Second Page.)

This latter action was taken at an adjourned meeting held on June 27, 1919. Rector Objects to Minutes Further evidence state that in the November meeting of the vestry, when reading of minutes of last session June 22 showed these matters incorporated in the records, the rector made objection, ordering that they were not properly a part of the minutes. The rector is declared to have said in part, that: No vestry man has the right to take the rector to acquaint in the way of presenting such a resolution. I cannot hold this vestry responsible because the vestry did not accept it. But I do hold those two men—the one who offered it and the other who seconded it, and I want them to understand that this dirty part which they offered me in this manner I throw back into their teeth, should be expunged from the minutes." After the clerk of the vestry, Mr. Hudhell, had defended the accuracy of minutes, the vestry voted to eliminate from the record all latter, referring to the rector's political activities, with Mervis, Hudhell and Brooks dissenting. As an aftermath of this development, at the meeting of St. Augustine's vestry held on Monday evening, December 1, Mr. Brooks, senior warden and treasurer, and Mr. Hudnell, clerk of the vestry, tendered their resignations, Mr. Brooks to take effect on December 1, and Mr. Hudnell's on December 2. In his resignation Mr. Brooks referred to unpleasantness experienced as a result of seconding the resolution, but affirmed it as his duty to call the rector's attention to expressed disapproval by members of the congregation to discussion of politics in the pulpit to the ultimate (Continued on Second Page) stores Discharge Female Employes all of Women and Girls Business Concerns— in One Store.

Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in an address delivered before the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and the Virginia Negro Teachers' Association, which held a four days joint session at Lynchburg, among other things Dr. Gregg said: "The riots, lynchings and kindred outrages, which have followed me since the beginning of this year, during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elatine and elsewhere, remind us and prove that this epidemic of ferocity is nation-wide, afflicting the North as well as the South. The North has a majority in Centralia, Washington, recently shows that no race is safe." In discussing preventive measures Dr. Gregg said that this is a time when the white man of the South and of the North should stand for law and order, the decency and justice and humanity. He applauded the occasional sheriff who defies the members of the mob and asked if his hearers were sure that they would be equally brave. The lawless man, whether black or white, was pronounced the enemy of society, who must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community. He added with emphasis: "If the cure of such evils—lynching in particular—can be accomplished through local agencies, by all means let it be done so. But if not, the time seems ripe for the adoption of the couran suggested by the Houston Constitution, and the Houston Post, namely, Federal intervention." The failure of State and local authorities to cope with mob lawlessness has been so pronounced, especially in the South, that the law-abiding citizens of that section have been driven to advocate the intervention of the National government to cope with this growing evil. The addition of Dr. Gregg to the advocates of Federal intervention is significant and will undoubtedly be followed by others of equal note. It now remains to be seen whether the Congress and the Federal authorities will rise to the emergency which this growing sentiment puts up to them. A FIELD FOR FAKERS The South has for many years afforded the greatest field for fakers in this country, with the exception perhaps of New York City, and the colored people have figured largely as the victims of all kinds of fake schemes to rob them out of their earnings. Next to the landowners and storekeepers who practiced what was styled a legitimate graft by extortionate charges and fraudulent accounts, came the root doctor and the fortune teller. These were followed by the cheap jewelry salesman and the patent medicine man. With scant educational advantages at the close of the war and for some years thereafter and limited business experience, the bulk of the Negroes of the South were easily fooled into buying everything offered them as long as their money fasted. With the coming of free tattoos, the gaining of knowledge and experience the field of the faker became gradually more limited and required different methods for working it. However, his exploitation of the Negro has continued in many forms until the present day. During the World War the economic status of the Negroes in the South was greatly improved and as a class they profited largely by the increased wages paid and the higher prices received for farm products. With the reconstruction period following the war, the fakers have gone at the exploitation of the Southern Negroes with renewed impetus and newer methods. As the game has grown larger-various means have been adopted for separating the colored people of the rural districts from their earnings. To meet this emergency the Young Men's Christian Association throws the weight of all efforts against the faker class in its campaign of education during and following the National Thrift Week Campaign of the Government the first week in January 1920. Dr. J. E. Moorland, senior secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A., after a trip through sections where the colored people form a large percentage of the population, reported the urgent need of such an intensive campaign of education among our people against the waste of their earnings on the wares offered by the quick doctor and the fake salesman. He said that even on the trains the news vendors unloaded their wares upon the colored people by telling them they should buy because the white people did so. He added: "In many cities and towns through which I passed the quick medicines are bringing high prices among the colored people, because they have more money than they do not want or that which does not materially benefit them. If they were properly educated in judicious spending these exploitations would not obtain. "Judicious spending," that is the key to the routing of the faker and the exploiter of the earnings of the poor. If the Y. M. C. A. will put its campaign into practical operation and show the people how to spend judiciously it will have conferred a lasting benefit upon a class who will find life better worth living for that reason. NEITHER YELLOW NOR RED NEITHER YELLOW NOR RED There has been a disposition in certain quarters to charge the Negro press with a tendency to sedition or bolshevist propaganda. The absurdity and groundlessness of this charge have been proved by the failure to present any example, save one, of the preachment of the doctrines alleged. And this sole example is an exotic foisted upon the race and dependent for support upon outside resources. If any one titling is self evident of the Negro press, it is the fact that its complexion is not "red," in the sense of advocating anarchy or revolution. Nearly every issue of the colored newspapers of the nation is freighted with appeals to the law and its officials, legislative and executive, for its enforcement and extension for the protection of the race. Justice is the boon sought for, but in its seeking only the methods of lawful procedure are advocated and pursued. The greatest evil the race is subjected to is the lawlessness of the mob and no attempt has been made to meet it with violence save in self-defence, which is the lawful last resort of every American citizen. So much for the attempt to paint the Negro press as "red." It is slightly different, however, when the tendency toward "yellow journalism" is charged against colored newspapers, as more examples can be cited to justify the charge. The craving for news of a sensational character has driven too many of our newspapers to the practice of exalting instances of crime to front page positions with striking headlines, as if such abnormal occurrences were the most important achievements of the race. It is true, that the Associated Press and many white dailies play up crimes committed by Negroes (or alleged crimes) in this manner, but Negro editors as a rule denounce the practice as unfair and part of a racial propaganda. Then it may be asked, why should some of these same Negro editors be so inconsistent as to do the same thing themselves. It would almost justify the suspicion that a few of our editors were not able to exercise a free hand with make-up of their news pages. Let the editors of the Negro press keep a vigilant eye on the front page makeup, so that the characterization "slightly yellow but not red" may be changed to "neater yellow nor red." Dr W. F. Draper of Richmond, a member of the Public Health Service, says that the colored people of the South are more responsive to the public health campaign and more appreciative of the efforts made to help them than the white people are. This responsiveness is largely due to the health campaigns carried out by the colored people themselves, in which the importance of hygiene and sanitation has been so thoroughly emphaSED. It is estimated that the colored people of Missouri alone bought upward of a million Liberty bonds. It is now urged that the race turn its attention to home getting and education of the rising generation. A very sound doctrine to preach. Little encouragement for boshevism will be found in that. The colored workers of Palatka, Fla. helped materially to carry the bond election for school purposes, according to the Advocate of that place. The school board, it seems, has assured the voters a complete and attractive building for school purposes. It is to be hoped that the children of these colored voters will participate in the benefits expected from the new building. Bishop Keiley of Georgia is another prominent white Southerner who declares that unless justice is done the Negro in the South, there should be Federal interference. Bishop Keiley who is a prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, points to the statistics, which make Georgia stand first in the matter of lynching, and asks, "Has this ever ever been a man punished in the State for lynching a Negro?" Let the representatives of the law in Georgia give the answer. The Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign is now in full blast and every Red Cross stamp is a blow in the fight against the many stamps as your means will permit and help to erect a barrier against the ravages of the white plague. The defeat of the Madden Amendment to the Esch railroad bill to abolish the "Jim Crow" car, with only twelve votes in its favor in the House of Representatives, has caused thinking members of the Negro race to question how much relief and protection a Republican Congress affords the race. Let those members of Congress who failed to record themselves in favor of the Madden Amendment answer the question. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 1918. GERMANY AND THE TREATY. United States Senate failed to ratify the Germany is balking at signing the proclamations. The German Government nothing short of suicide to agree to the have been piling up higher and higher. We have issued a "last warning" that Germany give them all the latitude necessary for Germans reply that it will be better for the country than try to meet the test. No doubt that much of Germany's concern the spirit of conquest, the spirit, to be suddenly destroy her as a power has run fears to make out a good case against them. The Allies have added to the terms and the German war ships which took the signing of the armistice. They were sunk by an Admiral who, being implication with his Government, hearing terms and feeling certain that his Government, ordered the sinking of his fleet on his ship to the German navy from being used in a new war. Manans also complain that the value of it because no provisions have been made of their industries. They claim deficit trade has come in through the term forces, over which they have no control in nearly one million dollars in British constructed in this way. On in everybody's mind must be, will Germany? and if she does, will the Alliesures? In our opinion, neither one or two. We believe that Germany will still believe that the Allies would under any act of beginning a new war or of attaining the whole German Republic. Those actions might wish to do such a thing, would dare at this time to broach such a last scene in this whole spectacle is the sure her own safety and future by the twenty-five million strong, prolific, industrial people cannot be repressed. It is. The German Government may be one may be crippled economically and other cannot be destroyed. All the century depression brought against the Poles have, because the Poles are a strong tribe to be compared to the Germans. In repressive measures against Germany the arrangement suits England. And the land only so long as it is to her advantage have been wiser for France if she had included in and bound by the League of Nations from the start. Germany in the League menace to France than Germany outsided, maddened and solidified by report of the whole matter makes one, as the country which took part in the war, war if anyone can point to a single benefit directly from the war, or to any number of weigh one-one millionth of the blood at the war cost, the bitterness and hate should like to hear that one speak. Direct benefits have come out of the war, so think, the impressing on the minds of ideals as democracy, social justice and rosy dreams that all the nations were out of the war as direct results have summer night before the rising sun. The United States Senate failed to ratify the Peace Treaty, and now Germany is balking at signing the protocol and the exchange of ratifications. The German Government sets forth that it would be nothing short of suicide to agree to the terms which the Allies have been piling up higher and higher ever since the armistice. The Allies have issued a "last warning" that Germany's refusal to sign will give them all the latitude necessary for military measures. The Germans reply that it will be better for them to let the Allies occupy the country than try to meet the terms that have been imposed. There is no doubt that much of Germany's complaint is just. It seems that the spirit of conquest, the spirit to crush Germany out and absolutely destroy her as a power has run to the limit. Germany appears to make out a good case against the Scapa Flow indemnities. The Allies have added to the terms an indemnity for the sinking of the German war ships which took place in Scapa Flow following the signing of the armistice. The Germans claim that the ships were sunk by an Admiral who, being wholly cut off from communication with his Government, hearing of the severity of the peace terms and feeling certain that his Government could not accept them, ordered the sinking of his fleet on his own responsibility to keep the German navy from being used against the Germans in a new war. The Germans also complain that the value of their money is disappearing because no provisions have been made in the terms for the restoration of their industries. They claim that millions of dollars in illicit trade has come in through the territory occupied by the Allied forces, over which they have no control. They claim that a trade of nearly one million dollars in British cigarettes alone has been conducted in this way. The question in everybody's mind must be, will Germany refuse absolutely to sign? and if she does, will the Allies take extreme military measures? In our opinion, neither one or the other thing will take place. We believe that Germany will sign something; and we do not believe that the Allies would under any circumstances go to the extent of beginning a new war or of attempting to occupy and police the whole German Republic. Those at the head of Allied Governments might wish to do such a thing, but we do not believe they would dare at this time to broach such steps to the people. The saddest scene in this whole spectacle is the sight of France hoping to secure her own safety and future by the repression of Germany. Seventy-five million strong, prolific, industrious, intelligent and efficient people cannot be repressed. It is simply an impossibility. The German Government may be overthrown and the country may be crippled economically and otherwise, but the German people cannot be destroyed. All the centuries of political and racial oppression brought against the Poles have not been able to destroy them, because the Poles are a strong race. But the Poles are not to be compared to the Germans. The safety of France through repressive measures against Germany will last only so long as the arrangement suits England. And the arrangement will suit England only so long as it is to her advantage. It would have been wiser for France if she had fought to have Germany included in and bound by the League of Nations immediately and from the start. Germany in the League would have been a lesser menace to France than Germany outside the League, crippled, humiliated, maddened and solidified by repression. The upshot of the whole matter makes one, as he looks at the state of each country which took part in the war, wonder what it was all for. If anyone can point to a single benefit to humanity which came directly from the war, or to any number of direct benefits which outweigh one-one millionth of the blood and treasure and agony that the war cost, the bitterness and hate and fury that it aroused, we should like to hear that one speak. Some indirect benefits have come out of the war, the awakening of the masses to think, the impressing on the minds of peoples that there are such ideals as democracy, social justice and human brotherhood, but the rosy dreams that all the nations were dreaming of what was to come out of the war as direct results have vanished like the dew of a summer night before the rising sun. THE MEXICAN SITUATION. so it looked like certain war with Mexico some sort on the part of the United States patched an ultimatum to the Mexican and demanded the immediate release of American Consular Agent at Puebla.

This reply only made the A week ago it looked like certain war with Mexico, or at least intervention of some sort on the part of the United States. This Government despatched an ultimatum to the Mexican Government in which was demanded the immediate release of William O. Jenkins, the American Consular Agent at Puebla. For a day or two our State Department, and to some extent the whole country, waited anxiously for Carranza's reply. The only reply that came from Mexico was that she was acting within her rights; that the matter was one for the decision of the Mexican courts; that Jenkins would be released the moment he put up the required bail. This reply only made the waiting more anxious. Then suddenly the newspapers of the United States dislapped the news in headlines that Jenkins had been released. This, on its face, looked like a complete backdown on the part of Mexico; and the country breathed easier. Now it appears that the Mexican Government didn't back down an inch, so far as the technical side of the case is concerned. It now comes out that Jenkins was released on bail after all. The bail was furnished by an American in Mexico named J. Salter Hansen. Mr. Hansen is quoted as saying that he put up the bail for Jenkins in order to avert war. His statement in despatches dated December 8 is as follows: "On Tuesday morning fast, on account of certain facts that came to my attention, which I am in no position to disclose, I suddenly realized that war between the United States and Mexico was inevitable unless one of the two governments was ready to sacrifice its honor, prestige and dignity by receding from the dangerous position into which it was forced. "I therefore took all the steps necessary to effect the immediate release on bail of W. O. Jenkins, and relieve the tension. I did no spontaneously and of my own initiative, and I am ready and willing to take upon myself the full responsibility, or credit, according to the point of view. Of the facts that have been heard that the news that his complete recovery is near." We are not sure that President Wilson felt so much cheered when he heard the full statement of the facts. One of the specific demands made by our Department of State was that Jenkins he released without bail. Jenkins is released, but the bail was put up and Mexico completely saves its face, but what about the United States? Again Mexico smiles that superior Latin-American smile. Our Government has been having diplomatic duels with Mexico for the past eight years, and we haven't won a single one of them. From the time when Huerta evaded saluting the flag on down to the Jenkins affair, we have lost on points each time. There is a reason; if there is anything the Latin-American diplomat knows, it is diplomacy; and if there is anything the American diplomat knows less about than something else, it is diplomacy. Diplomacy is an atmosphere in which the American mind finds it difficult to breathe and function; whereas, it is the natural element of the agile and subtle mind of the Latin-American. Moreover, the American diplomat seldom feels that he needs to depend on diplomacy to get what he is after. He knows that he has a powerful nation behind him, and he is always counting on playing that as his ace card. On the other hand, the Latin-American republics during their whole existence have withstood the pressure of the great powers and maintained themselves almost entirely by diplomacy; so they have highly developed that same sense which the small, wily animals employ against the big, stupid beasts. We may at any time, by bringing sufficient pressure, force Mexico to accede to whatever demands we make, but when we sit down to the diplomatic chess-board, the odds are two to one that Mexico will win the game or put herself in a position to call stalemate. What will now be our next move? A NEW POET. As my readers know, I am always Negro poet. Last week I had something Every time I open an envelop addressed heart jumps; and I think maybe here a case may be. I picked up a book of verses the the Desert" (Neal & Co.), by John We glance my heart jumped, and as I read said, here indeed is a new poet. There Mr. Holloway's book, but in his dialect of the music and swing and delicious Here is one of them: Hello dar, Miss Millerlee Oh, you're a pretty sight to see Soil brown check, an smiling An willowy form chuck full De swallow see An Ah wash dat you would Hello, Miss Millerlee! Hello dar, Miss Millerlee You're de berry gal fo me! Pearly teel, an shinin' hair, An silk arm to plump an I Ah lak yo' walk, Ah lak yo' An de way Ah love you-go Hello, Miss Millerlee! Hello dar, Miss Millerlee Dat's no name, but it out Ah nee see yo' face befo' An lak won't again no mo' But you sweet smile will follo Char into eternity! Fellow, Miss Millerlee! Here is not only music and swing a manship. I do not like Mr. Holloway's so much as the dialect pieces. He is le charm in them, especially in the religious says in his preface that it is his firm put as possible a volume devoted exclusively religious subjects. We hope he will le write the writers of hymn books, and continue which he shows him off so capable of do As my readers know, I am always on the hunt for the new Negro poet. Last week I had something to say on this subject. Every time I open an envelop addressed to me and find verses my heart jumps; and I think maybe here he is, or here she is, as the case may be. I picked up a book of verses the other day, entitled "From the Desert" (Neal & Co.), by John Wesley Holloway; at the first glance my heart jumped, and as I read it kept on jumping. And I said, here indeed is a new poet. There are many good things in Mr. Holloway's book, but in his dialect pieces he shows a mastery of the music and swing and delicious humor that was Dunbar's. Here is one of them: Hello dar, Miss Millerlee! Oh, you're a pretty sight to see! Sol' brown cheek, an' shinil' face, An' willowy form chuck full o' grace.— De sweetest gat Oh eber see, An' Ah wish dat you would marry me! Hello, Miss Millerlee! Hello dar, Miss Millerlee! You're de berry gal fo' me! Pearly teel, an' shinil' hair, An' silk' arm to plump an' bare! Ah lak yo' walk, Ah lak yo' clothes, An' de way Ah love you—goodness knows! Hello, Miss Millerlee! Hello dar, Miss Millerlee! Dat's not yo' name, but it ought to be! Ah nee' it see yo' face befo' An' lak' won't again no mo', But yo sweet smile will follow me Char it to eternity! Lax well, Miss Millerlee! Here is not only music and swing and humor, but sure workmanship. I do not like Mr. Holloway's poems in straight English so much as the dialect pieces. He is less successful in weaving a charm in them, especially in the religious poems. Mr. Holloway says in his preface that it is his firm purpose to put forth as soon as possible a volume devoted exclusively to devotional, moral and religious subjects. We hope he will leave poetry of that kind to the writers of hymn books, and continue to write the real poems which he shows him off so capable of doing. "Scatteration" instead of segregation is the solution of the race problem suggested by Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton of Massachusetts, a white woman prominent in the National Prohibition Campaign. She would have the Nories distributed throughout the entire country, so that every community would have its proportion. She also expresses that to a million dollars be taken and handed to Negroes to provide certain names and surroundings. The solution idea is all right, but it will flow the lines of economic development and cannot be diverted to any extent by extraneous intrudes. An interesting feature listening to the reorganization of Boston police after the failure of the strike that there are fewer tat men in the new force. New York eliminated the tat men in 1940 a large extent without a strike. Physical training and intensive drilling are largely responsible for the active and sneaky athletes that now wear the blue with brass buttons. With a few more on the veterans of the old 15th in the ranks, the term of "the finest" would be hard to dispute. More of our men postposing the physical and mental qualification should take the civil service examination for appointment to the police force. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, who is described as a novelist, writes a matter of fact letter to Senator Billingham of Vermont, in favor of a Congressional investigation of lynching. In it she refers to "the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe." She adds: "The whole nation is discredited and disgraced, and every word we say about human rights and civilization is laughed at by Europeans who know of the lynching evil in our country." Why shouldn't Europeans laugh at the glaring inconsistency presented between preaching and practice in America? The Governor of Oklahoma invoked the aid of Federal troops to meet threatened violence by strikers, but refused to receive the troops when he found that they consisted of colored soldiers. Another case of cutting off the nose to spite the face. I have been looking over the Message-ger, of New York City, which boasts of being "the only real New York magazine whose security is always secure." He gets so aliquated as to can himself remember that one may say the function of a fool as well as that of a wise man. I have been looking for plain common sense in the editorials of a paper from cyclopedia and from history books, and from histories, oedices and appendices, and I find many old and new social dogs—but I have been looking for common sense. Recently these editors have discussed the importance of own boasts, they find themselves "the only one." Perhaps they are alone in their class. I will not presume to speak for Orlime, DuBols, Johnson, and these editors assert things which I do not believe. But I will quote one or --- "NEGRO RADICALS" two sentences from their December 1913 number, and then say something plain, for about this matter I do know. They say, "Pickens is opposed to Socialism... those who hire Pickens have ordered him to be opposed to it." Pickens hired Hippo Randolph and Chandier Owen and another wrote this and printed it in their paper, or when they allowed it to be written and printed in their paper, they proved themselves to be plain, unimaginable old-fashioned. In one of the sort will present them from the outside, and a friend would not wait, very rarely. Common do not respect and will not follow here. I have respect for socialism, but every little respect for the cheap imitation of it exemplified here. Chandler Gowan knows that I cannot be bought—not even for the only Negro socialist and that I am not a socialist in him and his associates by refusing to show stock in their concern. I see now as I suspected then, that these men "only" have respect for themselves and for the few co-editors who bought up their stock. Their age found out, what Chandler Gowan can easily find out, that we cannot be bought or scared into any opinion. If my opinions were for sale I would have more money than the editors of the Meenanger are likely to have. I have my own opinions of socialism and of truthful stilts—and I have my own opinion (note the singular) of hars of any party. The editor who wrote this alander professes such a sincere interest in our stories" and jokes, that we shall not be left in limbo with this expectance bencht. For this issue I am looking for a looking-glass. A white man was travelling through the country in Alabama, and an angel colored man was driving the mule which drew their heads. "What is that?" asked the white man "Jes' a hoss fly," answered the colored man. "What is a horse fly?" "Jes' a fly whit buzzes around the mule on an mule and an jackknack," just the mule on an mule and an jackknack about the white man's head. How's this, uncle, I am not a horse am I?" "No, sir, you ain't no hoss." Well, I do not look like a mule, do I? "No, sir, you don't, you don't, you don't mean to include I am a jackass?" "No, sir, I am a mean to 'sinute nothin', and I can't call you no jackass, but you see you can't fool de hooss fly." A Word to White Socialists: The Negro did not begin, to deal with the white man yesterday. And he will be, very suspicious of any climbing the white minority. He knows the minority priority, but out of fair promises. He has lived in the civilization for three hundred years—and will live. You must, therefore, be very careful if you wi... to grow an early crop of 'Negro' Bordal-Ita. You must not begin with a few white men. You must have a common sense and a sense of the things of things born of labor and hard experiences; and he is not going to let any "hired" leaders persuade or bully him into pulling your chestnuts to the fire, and then go to jail for it while he is not in society. I believe in socialism, not necessarily as a political party, but as an economic and societal reform. But like the plain common people, I must select out of it what I believe in. I believe in a political party, for which, for it not a simple thing; it is complex. Some of it is undoubtedly true; much of it may be error. I have always stood for the right of colored men to belong to, say political Democracies. But you choose—even to the Democracies. But you choose—any color or any party has a right to be unless he is careful about speaking and printing his lies. A man has the legal right to be a liar, but with limitations, will be better for your prospective employer. You will put up some Negroes who do it to be so everlastingly important to be "the only Negroes" in your party; or else they may conduct themselves in such a way that they only NEGROES IN YOUR PARTY WM.

Therefore, nothing in life is more important than the condition of your blood. Your success and happiness depend on your health, and to have good health you must have pure blood. Some conditions of poisoned or impure blood manifest themselves by the aching of your bones, swollen joints and are almost always diagnosed as Chronic Rheumatism. Then there is a gouty condition and eruptive diseases of the skin, such as itching, torturing eczema; scrofula, chronic sores and chronic catarrh, all of which are caused by impure or poisoned blood. Some apparently trifling trouble may have been contracted years ago, and the poisons have all the time been accumulating in your system. Ask yourself the question, "Is my blood pure?" If you are deprived of life's greatest blessing, health, and you have reason to know that your blood is clogged with poisons that are causing you anxiety and pain, you should take one of the best preparations that modern medicine can offer- This splendid treatment for diseases due to impure blood is more than an ordinary remedy. A prominent physician worked out the formula, using some medicinal agents which authorities all agree are valuable in the treatment of constitutional blood diseases. And combined with these well-known drugs he also employed certain extracts of roots and herbs, which he found by repeated tests—in the many cases that came to him for treatment—to be of great value in eliminating certain poisons in the blood. This Prescription, now called C-2223, is still giving relief to sufferers, but being offered ready prepared, thousands are today receiving benefit where only a few were served by the originator, a physician. So great is the faith of the manufacturers in the merit of Prescription C-2223, that they will refund the price paid for two $1.50 bottles if, after taking the treatment according to directions, satisfactory relief is not experienced: Prescription C-2223 contains no mercury, strychnine, narcotic or habit forming drugs. On the other hand, it is composed of certain drugs, that are recognized by medical authorities as being of great value in the treatment of chronic troubles which are due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood. In the use of the liquid Prescription, there is a 2223 Vegetable Liver Pill prepared especially to help eliminate the poisons from the system. This pill does not nauseate or gripe, and two or three a week will keep your bowels in a healthy condition. All drug stores sell Prescription C-2223 at $1.50 a bottle—the 2223 Liver Pills at 25c a bottle. Both postpaid on receipt of $1.75. day, December 4, the B. Y. P.

WALTON THE sad spectacle of Negroes management and refusing to crowding theatres under white patronize up-to-date houses owned and controlled by members of the race has caused all self-respecting colored people of Petersburg, Va., to exclaim: "How long will those of you utterly lacking in race pride abuse our patience!" However, it will take more than a few vehement exclamations or loud murmurings to purge from the system of the hundreds of Negroes in Petersburg the dominant idea that there is more honor in supporting a theatre run by white people than in attending a theatre under colored control. Several weeks ago two new theatres were opened in Petersburg. One was the Rialto, which was erected by colored business men at a cost of $30,000, and the other was the Lorraine, owned and operated by William Wilkins, a colored man. The two houses were erected so that the colored people of that city might boast of having modern places of amusement operated exclusively by members of the race. But instead of manifesting elation and "sticking out their chests" over the existence of race theatres, there were many who passed them by as if they were under quarantine and went elsewhere—in some instances in the gallery where the leading colored citizens must go, and by the backstairs route, if they care to see a show. To make matters worse, a propaganda was started by unknown persons, to boycott the Rialto, the rumor put into circulation being that it is maintained for the educated classes of the race only. This vicious report, as is often the case, was seized upon by some colored people with the avidity of a hungry dog after a bone, and they became willing and active parties to the conspiracy to carry on a boycott against their own people who had expended thousands of dollars to provide. Petersburg with playhouses where colored Americans need not be insulted when seeking amusement Petersburg, Va., is not the only city where these shameful conditions exist; and the South is not the only place where certain classes of colored people flock to inferior theatres that cater to the race instead of supporting their own enterprises. As has all along been said in these columns, the white man who invests his money in a theatre for colored people is, not to be blamed. With him it is merely a business proposition. The only person open to consure is the Negro who is so devoid of race consciousness that he boycotts colored enterprises and gladly supports those conducted by others. Can you picture Jews or Italians guilty of such race disloyalty? As lynchings, race riots and other indignities fail to arouse some members of the race to their real sense of duty of duty, we wox- ps WHAT WILL? PETERSBURG THEATRES For instance, it is reported that a young woman social worker of the city has gone out of her way to advertise the fact that she would continue to patronize the one white owned and operated house which caters to colored people because she is admitted free. This woman's importance is overestimated. There is something wrong with her. Then it is reported that one of the clergymen of this city made an attack on theatres generally and related a story which had come to him in which a local school teacher, had urged her children to patronize the colored theatres only. This clergymen, meanwhile, timed as being in favor of removing a teacher from the schools. So these and other instances of wrong views of the duty of colored theatres tribute to confuse the public mind. The Rialto, however, is steadily gaining under the management of Sam'l M.

"THE BLUE-PEARL" A REAL MYSTERY PLAY "The Blue Pearl," one of the season's strongest dramatic offerings, is being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week under the auspices of the Quality Attenuation Corporation, and the vehicle is unobtrudently the best provided the Demond-Bishop Company since its return from Chicago. Mystery plays are well liked by Lafayette patrons, and the Blue Pearl is entertaining as the nineteenth Chair. The society—the boardwalk at Atlantic City at 2 a.m. and the drawing room of the Holland Webb home are worthy of more than passing consideration. The cast is unusually large. Miss Mattie Wilkes, as Sybil Knot, makes an alluring mistress, while Miss Cleo Demond, as Laura Webb, wins the sympathy of the audience as the neglected wife. J. L. Criner, as Holland Webb, the husband, makes himself the real villain in the play and Andrew Bishop is well suited for the heroic role of Stephen Drake, Commissioner of Police. Others in the cast are: Lionel Monogas, Ola May Taylor, Will A. Cooke, Mrs Elizabeth Williams, Richard N. Gregg, James H. Gray, H. L. Pror, Miss Geneva Cutler, Arthur T. Ray, Bob Slater, Owington T. Hammond, Miss Lillian Collymore, Henry Jones and Frankie Brown. "POLLYANNA" NEXT WEEKS ATTRACTION Seldom has such a list of successful plays been offered by any stock company with the quality that has characterized the presentations of the Lafayette Players at the Lafayette Theatre this season. The big royalty paid on shows, productions and the large casts have not entered the minds of the manager when it comes to the play, for they have already decided the play is the thing,' bence for the seven patrons of the popular Seventh avenue house will be given another sterling drama when "Pollyanna," a comedy in four acts, is offered. "Pollyanna," which is universally known by reason of its enormous sale when in book form, has been dramatized by Eleanor Porter and lends itself beautifully to the legitimate stage. This production is one of the best of its kind ever brought to Harlem, for it has been spoken of by critics all over this country as one of those rare plays which are likely to become institutions of the American stage like "Peter Pan." Appearing in the cast will be: Evelyn Ellis, Inez Clough, Carlotte Freeman, Ophelia Muse, Isabelle Jackson, Rosa Lee Teyler, Robert Slater, J. Clarence E. Muse, Owington T. Hammond, Arthur Simmons and Charles Olden. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS BY BOB SLATER. The Exposition Jubiles Four are at Keith's 81st St. Theatre, New York.

HARRY & LAURA PRAMPIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC PHONE LONGACRE 613 418 W. 26th St., N. Y. City. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1919. Music Notes By LUCIEN H. WHITE An interesting program will be rendered on December 10 at Carnegie Hall by the Musical Art Society. Natalie Curtis, who gave years of study and research to the native Indian music, has turned her attention to Negro spirituals, and a number of the works she is are featured in the Musical Art Society program. I am printing here with a statement concerning Miss Curtis and her work in this direction. Two of the numbers referred to, a Christmas hymn and the "Ride on Jesus" hymn, came to my desk. They are being looked over for review later on, but a cursory examination shows that they retain the charistic tone scale of the original forms. They are interesting examples of the sea island nations' musical expression and are distinctively different from the jubilee and folk song utterances of the island people. The statement concerning Miss Curtis says: "In search of Negro spirituals in their original forms Native Curtis went to hear those which the blacks on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, are forever singing. "On St. Helena Island there are some 6,000 blacks and only about 90 white people. The typical Negro folk-song has almost wholly escaped those infiltrators, and is now enjoying its more advanced community in this remote spot, where con is ground by hand, where tradition tells that the local art of basket-weaving was brought from Africa, and where it is said that traces of African words may be found in Negro dialect, the archaic, the music suggests a primitive richness of the music suggests direct kinship with the Dark Continent. Of the examples chosen by Natalie Curtis two celebrate the Christmas and a third in a "Hymn to Freedom" set of the attiring triumphant rooftops of the Nassau Colony. This was sung in every camp of drafted Negro soldiers during the war by J. E. Blanton of the Penn School, St. Helena Island, who has recently been awarded the medal and who will sing the "Dead" at the concert of the Musical Art Society. "When the black man was summoned to a white man's war," says Mrs. Curtis, and the pain of parting and loss is palpable. The black man's pathetic because of many of the people's ignorance of the cause for which they were to fight; when friends of the Negro saw how it was with song that the black man was lightened by the simple folk whose relentless joy is poured out in music, it occurred to the writer of these verses to follow the custom of adapting new words to a familiar tune, and thus make a Negro song for which America entered the war. It was a song of the hour, paraphrasing "Ride On, Jesus," and closely follows the original Negro song, even when it is hard to find and somewhat crude harmonic and progresions of the different voices. Many good people with sincere intention but lacking understanding have confused the recent "jazz" craze with the development of "rag time" music. As a matter of fact there is only the most distant relationship between the two; "jazz" is simply and solely a perversion of any good music into a tempestuous cacophony of discord and noise. As one writer has said, "It is a kind of musical Bolshevism." News notes from France say that the people of Paris are tired of "jazz" and have formed a society to bring about its suppression. Commenting on this editorially the New York Sun has said: "There is no one more genuine in music. It is impossible to impose the idea or delishness of one nation upon another. That is why jazz, the floating many of a small part of the United States, has received a back in Europe. French jazz is the mad storm of music because it offends all that is delicate in music. Zeiss is not utterly without its uses. As if defensa beyond criticism you are likely to wish you had it when some bore state talking about the great appitional awakening of the world. It ought to be kept for such passions.

WASHINGTON A STAR ON ERASMUS HIGH TEAM The three leading football teams of Greater New York scholastic league are Erasmus High, Brooklyn Prep and Polly Prep, and the star of the Erasmus team is Joe Washington, a Negro student, who has been chosen by experts on the all scholastic team. Washington plays left, end, and has made himself very popular among his scholastic team by his playing ability but because of his personality and sportsmanship. This is shown by the fact that he has been elected by his teammates as captain of the team for 1020. The Brooklyn Lyle sports editor, in a summary of the 1919 season, pinks Sadler of the Polly Prep for left end on the all-scholastic team, but in doing so, gives Sadler the benefit of three years' experience. Sadler is classed as the best end in the city. But in speak- W. VA. INSTITUTE FOOTBALL Institute, W. Va.
