FOR QUALITY READ The New York Age THE HOME PAPER VOLUME 33. NO. 15. LAY PLANS FOR 1920 "Y" WORK New Building Now Occupied and Membership Is Greatly Increased. Secretary Taylor Has Staff of 25-Drive to Wipe Out $35,000 Debt. The year of 1919 marked the accomplishment of many things for the members of the Colored Men's Christian Association of New York. But the completion of the new building at 181 West 135th street and its occupancy by the members was the most important development. The new building was opened to the public for the first time on November 8, 1919, and with its opening the old "53rd Street Branch Y. M. C. A." passed out of existence and the "West 135th Street Branch" came into being. The building of seven stories, with a basement and sub-basement, was erected at a cost of $175,000, which included the site and equipment. It is fitted with every modern convenience for "Y" work. The sub-basement contains the filter plant, furnaces, boilers and coal storage. The basement provides room for a billiard room, bowling, lunch counter, 1930 swimming pool 20 ft. by 60 ft. separate locker rooms for men and boys and a general wash room. The main floor is given over to the business offices, a lobby, reading room, assembly room, gymnasium, and auditorium, which is 40 ft. by 72 ft. check room and entrance to the elevators. On the second floor is to be found the boys' lobby, club rooms, check rooms, educational rooms, commute rooms, a kitchen, women's rooms and a running track, which measures thirty-five laps to the mile. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors are used for dormitory purposes, there being forty-one sleeping rooms on each floor. Accommodations are provided for 170 men, each regin having an electric call bell and clothes closet, shower and toilet facilities are provided and there is a telephone on each floor. The seventh floor is equipped for a roof garden, with moving picture outlets and provision for handball courts. The elevator service reaches all floors. Secretary Taylor in Charge Thomas L.

The membership at present is as follows: Bruce F. Balders, then Director. "BROKEN PROMISES" WHITE MAN'S RECORD (Washington, D. C.—That the record of the white man is a record of broken promises was asserted by Archibald H. Grunke in delivering his annual address as president, before the American Negro Academy, Monday night. His theme was "The Shame of America." He traced historically the various epochs in which the white man had not kept faith with the Negro. John R. Clifford asserted that the Negro ministry was behind the times in looking after the needs of the race and urged a more consecrated and a highly intelligent pulpit. Bishon John Hunt giving the status of foreigners under various Haitian constitutions. Robert A. Pelham, and Robert Browne, of Brooklyn, N. Y. have been admitted to membership during the past year. A movement to make women eligible to membership in the academy was started. MRS. W. P. EVANS BURNED TO DEATH CHRISTMAS EVE (Required to Stay Late.

CENTENARY Colored Members Raise Large Sum For Centenary Fund. (Special TO THE NEW YORK ACE.) NEW ORLEANS, La.—The colored membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church has raised over $40,000 within the past eight months toward the centenary fund of $112,000,000. Dominational leaders are elated over the showing made by the colored constituency. This big sum, $157,000, has been raised in the New Orleans area by the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, who has been reached from his work as a field secretary by the Board of Hume Missions and Church Extension. The area takes in the West Texas, Texas, Upper Mississippi, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama conferences. For the year previous to the beginning of the coronary drive, the total collections for general church benevolence amounted to $38,000, which indicates that the colored people are supporting the coronary movement in great depth. Local church collections have increased fourfold in recent months. The Arbors district, in charge of the Rev. J. W. Bluntfrie, has shared $80,000 and the Churchmen committee has directed the formation of the Arbors district. EX-SOLDIERS LYNCHED; NINE IN NINE MONTHS Nine Negro ex-soldiers were lynched in the United States during the last nine months of 1919—an average of one to the month—is the report made by officials of the St. A. A. C. P. issued December 24 as a Christmas present to the country. Two were burned to death, two were hanged, four were shot and one was heaten to death. The list, showing the date and cause of each lynching, is as follows: March 14—Castlebury, Fla.: BUD JOHNSON, burned to death. Said to have confessed to attack on white woman. April 9—Pickens, Miss.: admitted he had hired a woman to write an insulting note to a white woman. May 21—Kildorado, Ark.: Frank Livingston, charged with killing his employer and the latter's wife, burned to death. July 15—Louisa, Miss.: Robert Truett, lynched for having made indecent proposals to a white woman. Hanged. August—Payette County, Ga.: Chas.

December 21 Smithville, Ga. Charles West, accused of murder of white man. Shot. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) PARKERSBURG, W. Va.—William Peyton, a Negro, one of the oldest men in the United States, died recently at Little Hocking, O. near Parkersburg, at the age of one hundred and twenty-eight years. In his youth Peyton was the slave of a Virginia family by the name of Creel, which later moved into West Virginia. As a slave and as a freed man he served this family through six generations, it is said. Peyton was in full possession of his faculties until within a few weeks of his death. MEDICAL MISSIONARY NEEDED IN AFRICA (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) BALTIMORE, Md.—Bishop W. W. Beckett told the African Methodist Ministers' Meeting Monday that he did not intend returning to South Africa until the denomination sent medical missionaries there, especially those conversant with the language of the natives. "One medical missionary who knows the language is worth 100 missionaries without that qualification," he said. Winfrey Johnson, speaking of candidates for the bishopric, told the missionary that in getting behind a candidate he should make in consideration that a In the opening of the newministration Building of theoired Women's Branch ofYoung Women's ChristianAcitation at 179 West 137th last November an event of usual, significance took place in the history of the Women's Christian Association and for colored women, construction of this new building marked a new endeavour the Association among colored women has ceased to be an experiment is the first building to be solely for Association activity.

Perhaps the reason for an employment bureau in the Y. W. C.

In order for the girl to keep her job and keep it well she must be physically fit and the physical department with its base and well equipped gymnasium and swimming pool is one of the most popular departments of the association. Already 105 applicants have been received. Any girl or woman who wants life giving exercise can get exactly what she wants in this department. All registrants are given a thorough medical examination by the examining physician. Isabelle Vandervall Granger. Swimming, gymnastic, folk and character dancing will be featured. An athletic association will be organized which will offer basketball and tennis arranging, inter-branch and inter-team meets, exhibitions and demonstrations will be given from time to time in swimming. Corinne Thomas Christy is the director. The Girls' Work Department. The aim of this department is to provide every girl with the proper kind of education and exercise that will give her a strong and healthy body; to see that she gets the right kind of amusement that will not stain her memory; to meet other girls, to give poise and reliance through team work with girls and to keep her well in and up to the times.

Sundays—Breakfast, 9:30 to 10:30; dinner 5 to 8. Miss Susan B. Adams, the cafeteria director, is well prepared to cater to parties, club suppers, etc. Membership in the Association. Membership in the association means more than a selling and buying of privileges; it means a sharing in its activities and helping to provide more opportunities for the development of young women and it includes in its membership all women in business, home, profession and social life, school and industry or at leisure. Each has her special contribution to make. Privileges of membership include members' meetings, councils, discussion groups and lectures, registration for class, Bible class, use of reception and club rooms, etc., and the inspiration of sharing in the functioning of the following city-wide program, which is furnished by the executive secretary: HEALTH for women in gymnastics classes, swimming pool, shower baths, etc. Education for women through classrooms adequately equipped for instruction in cooking, sewing, business English, typewriting, manicuring, handwriting, power machine operating, toil in operating and a score of other skills.

A JOLLOSH that has students devote one half their time to estimating work is so in line with common sense that we are amazed that the idea had to be put in execution by an ex-slave so a life-maker for his distressed race.

One and thousand additional names on reading list would be a satisfactory item for the coming year. It is equipped to turn out that number additional papers with celerity and pitch. The policy of this paper for new year will be one of improve- and enlargement, with the faci- lity at its command, in propor- tions its support justifies such ex- pose of its activities. The Age will stimulate, and enhance racial progress and development in every line of useful endeavor and activity. It will advocate and support those movements working for welfare of the race along lines of safety and sober common sense. It will continue to commend those white hands of the race; especially in the Irish, who seek to cooperate in bringing about the reign of law and order and establish the policy of justice toward all men, irrespective of race or color. It will oppose and condemn those who stand in the way of a coming of justice to her own race. It recognizes the partial awakening of the South to a realization of a change in the relation of the two races. Those who have awakened palate the necessity for treating the Igno as a man and according the law justice before the law. Those who remain asleep are oblivious to the art that the Civil War is over and how the bugaboo of "social equality" hat haunts their dreams, to keep theouth back from marking progress with the rest of humanity. This keeping sickness is fatal in the end, it is entails suffering to many beilles the hopeless patient. With the addition of one hundred thousand new subscribers, the enhancement and improvement of its function from time to time. The Age looks forward confidently to the more ancient service of its readers through the coming year. WATCHWORD FOR THE NEW YEAR. The new year brings with it new latties and new rewards. In looking forward to the 360 days of performance which 1920 ushers in, it being a map year, it is well to single out a new of the most pressing things needed to be done. One of the most important of these is the need of making more business, by and for members of the race, both locally and generally. While considerable strides have been made in the starting and development of local business ventures, much remains to be done in this line, both as the part of the producer and seller, as well as the purchaser and consumer. To the end of extending the progress of business development, more attention must be given to the attainment of efficiency in service and the provision of the rich kind of goods. It is to be remembered that a pleased customer is a standing advertisement and has greater drawing power than many sandwich-men, as the peripatetic makers of advertising signs are known. Nor is newspaper advertising be omitted as a factor in the development of a new enterprise. Full delivery a business plant is born to blush for lack of the fertilizing of the field of popular appreciation with the aid of printer's ink. Especially this true of a business which aims to draw customers without the bounds of local district. And the advertising should be of such a character as impress the possible customer with the character of the service he may not on receiving as an actual benefactor him. ```markdown ``` BROADening OF POLICIES One of the notable results growing out of, or at least accelerated by the war work, has been the impetus given to the growth of Christian Association work for both sexes among the Negro communities of the country. This development, with the establishment of modern buildings for the colored branches in, such population centres as Brooklyn, Harlem, Cleveland and other cities West and South, seems to have had a beneficial effect upon the parent organizations in the stimulation of a broader spirit of Christian fellowship in the treatment of the colored workers. This has been exemplified in the recognition given their work, both in the material line of salaries, as well as in matters of counsel and advice. True, the feature of segregation which characterized the policy of the parent bodies still remains and was the cause of much hardship to colored soldiers in France. But as a city clergyman deeply interested in the work here admitted, the conditions while not ideal, are the best that seem practical under present conditions. The needs of the maases of the race, for whom-thits work is doing so much good, are to be considered as the supreme necessity, and until the race is prepared to take up this work on its own foundation, it must accept the limitations under which it is now conducted. In the meantime the spirit of broadness may grow to such as extent as to make the conditions more nearly approach the ideal comprehended if the term "Christian." At all events the work accomplished by and through the devoted colored workers is deserving of the fullest commendation. Especially is praise due the department of work among colored women under the direction of Miss Eva D. Bowles. The policy pursued by this active and devoted worker is indicated by the following utterance: "The war has given opportunity for the colored woman to prove her ability for leadership. She had her chance and she made good. With all the strength of having suffered, she will be able through the patience born of suffering to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead. The time is past for white leadership for colored people. As white and colored women we must understand each other, we must think and work and plan together, for upon all of us resists the responsibility of the girlhood of our nation." The women of the race should give Miss Bowles the fullest measure of cooperation in the good work she is doing and emphasize their approval of the broad policy she has enunciated. THE TYPE FOR PRESIDENT. The recent visit of Governor Frank P. Lowden, of Illinois, to New York City revealed many of the qualities that would help to make him a Presidential possibility. The fact that he comes from the State of Lincoln is in his favor both from the sentimental and the geographical point of view. And both sentiment and geography are to be reckoned with in a political campaign. But there are other considerations than these to be taken into account, when weighing the availability of a candidate for the position of executive of the nation. In his address made before the New England Society, Governor Lydow extended the highest type of true Americanism, in his plea for self-government and the maintenance of law and order as composed to mob rule and communistic doctrines that would destroy the integrity of the home. He pronounced one of the greatest systems of the times' to be the failure of the village, the town and the city to maintain order without outside aid. In discussing this problem, he said "Whenever a town permits the due and orderly process of government to be interrupted by a mob, that town is no longer an asset, but becomes a liability of the republic. For, multiply that town by a sufficient number, and you have a situation in which only the army can rule. And no self-governing country was ever yet ruled successfully by force of arms. "The primary duty of every political division, no matter how small, is to keep its own house in order. Men are too prone these days, when disorder threatens, to call for soldiers. Soldiers will always be needed and must be used, if they are, the only means to maintain the law. For, at whatever cost, the law must remain supreme." The emphasis laid upon the necessity for the supremacy of the law at all cost is peculiarly gratifying at this critical time in the history of the Republic and stamps the speaker as the right type of American manhood needed at the head of the nation. Nor is this quality of the Illinois executive confined to mere words on after differer occasions. His record as Governor attests the sincerity of his utterances and his belief in and practice of a square deal for all classes of his constituents. Those who believe in the supremacy of law and order and no class in the community has a greater interest in such supremacy than the Negroes of this country, should watch with care the progress of Governor Lowden's candidacy. He represents the type of President the country needs. Santa Claus in green ink was the first page contribution of the Christmas Defender to the Christmas season. Its advertising editions, once also building with big blood information ending, NOTE—Exactly five years ago, December 24, 1914, we published in this column an article which was widely copied in the colored press all over the country; an article which brought as many letters from our readers an perhaps, any other that we have written. The article was, "The Harlem Gold Mine." When that article was written Harlem was not the Harlem that it is to-day; the great war was just getting under way, and the colored population of this community was just beginning its wonderful growth. There were at that time only a few scattered and struggling buildings being conducted by, Negroes, "The Harlem Gold Mine" was written with the idea of pointing out the great business possibilities for colored men and women in this section of the city, and with the desire of stimulating them to undertake, business enterprises, business enterprises that would pay. Reading "The Harlem Gold Mine" to-day, it sounds a bit like prophecy a prophecy which in some respects has been more than fulfilled. We said five years ago in closing the article that there were opportunities for one hundred colored men and women to establish successful business enterprises; that has been much more than done. To-day we would say that there are opportunities for five thousand. It is our intention to write from time to time a series of articles on the business, industrial, political and social opportunities which Harlem offers to the race; we feel that we could not begin that series better than by reprinting "The Harlem Gold Mine", which was so timely five years ago, and which is not ultimately so-day. For centuries the natives in South Africa literally slept over a gold mine. Around the Kimberly region it is likely that many a native stubbed his toe against a diamond and kicked it out of the way. The gold and diamonds were useless to them not only because they, probably, did not know that these precious stores were right under their feet, but because they did not know how to make use of their value. Now, it might sound startling to say that there are colored men and women sleeping over a gold mine in Harlem, stubbing their toes against diamonds and kicking them out of the way; nevertheless it is true. There live in Harlem within a radius of a mile more than 50,000 colored people; this makes that section of the city the most unique Negro settlement in the country. It is, in fact, a city in itself. There are cities in the South with a total population of less than 50,000 where Negroes have built up successful establishments and do a business of thousands of dollars. If this can be done among a colored population scattered around the fringe of a Southern city what are the limits to the possibilities in Harlem? Every nationality is making money out of Negroes in Harlem—except Negroes. The few Negroes who are doing business only emphasize the statement. Is there any good reason, is there any good excuse for this? Of course, the first excuse to be offered will be that the race will not patronize Negro business enterprises. There may be a slight disinclination among some classes and in some localities, which, however, can be overcome; but, generally speaking, this charge is not true. The race will and does patronize Negro business enterprises conducted on a business basis. Nine out of every ten colored men that fail in business blame their failure on the race. That is not fair. If the race was loyal to the last penny some of these men would be bound to fail anyhow. A certain percentage of white merchants fail every year. But the truth is, most of those who fail do so because they do not conduct business on a business basis. When a colored man goes into business the principal thing he should remember is that a Negro is a human being first and a Negro afterwards; that is, his human nature lies deeper than his color. So a Negro, no more than anybody else, is going to buy from a man unless that man's stock is as good, his price as cheap and his service as attentive as are those of his competitors; and it is foolish to expect him to do it, because it is contrary to human nature. Through race pride and faithfulness he may do it once or twice or three but he won't keep it up. More race pride is no sound basis to do business. Colored men who go into business must study it not only from the race's point of view, but from the business man's point of view. They must study the science of business management—and it is now a science, will books and magazines devote their study. They must learn the difference in how to communicate of advertisement. There are only practical ways in which they can compete in the business world and the only other situation on which to build a business. One of the most important marks that a man is going to make is to rather than trying to simply one. Creating a business requires unlimited capital. Take for example the average Southern city. Some colored man will conceive the laudable ambition of opening an up-to-date restaurant where respectable people of his race can get a first class meal. He invests his capital and, generally, he fails. Why? Because in the average Southern city the people who would eat that sort of a meal eat at home. If the same man will open a lunch-room and furnish fried fish and bread, coffee and other ready cooked dishes at prices ranging from 5 to 15 cents, the large laboring and floating colored population of the average Southern city will make him rich. Another cause of failure is, bleeding the business. Take again for example the average Southern city. A colored man opens a family grocery on one corner and a Syrian opens the sanic sort of a store on the opposite corner. Now in the first place, the colored man has no time to loaf, his competitor is a merchant by heredity; the Syrian's ancestors were trading on the Mediterranean before the Pyramids were built. Suppose they are both successful and reach a business of $5,000 a year. How does the Syrian manage? Why just the same as he did when his profits were only $500 a year. He and his family still live in the back of the store; they keep the place open all day and half the night; his wife stands watch for him while he sleeps; next to nothing spent for food or clothes; at the end of ten years he is rich Do we need to draw the other picture? Hardly. A fine house, horse and buggy—no, an automobile, good clothes, social entertaining and an occasional trip North—ending, most likely, in failure. We do not write this to blame the colored man who has thus failed. He made the money and he wanted a good time in preference to a good business, and he got it. But we do object to the blame being saddled on the race. But let us get back to the gold mining in Harlem. There are great opportunities in that section for colored men with some capital and intelligence. There are opportunities for combinations of colored men of small capital, if they also have intelligence. But we have already pointed out that opportunities will not yield if they are gone what is a legitimate matter. The field should be equally important of course should be applied when that condition is present. . THE HARLEM GOLD MINE. completely the following here to be more convenient to change the atmosphere. Observe the lines of business that are already successful in Harlem. Observe the grades of goods that are carried. This is important. For instance, it would be a waste of capital to try to sell goods in Harlem that are usually bought on Fifth Avenue. The secret is to learn to cater to the trade as well, if not better than your competitors. But catering to the existing trade of a locality does not mean that one should not use his best judgment and the judgment of experienced friends in deciding upon some new line of business that might prove successful. The main point is, business to-day is a science which must be studied. Studied from every angle. From the angle of the person in business, from the angle of the people to be served, from the angle of the locality, the market, the times, etc. Harlem offers the opportunities. One hundred colored men and women can establish successful business enterprises there if they will only go at it in a whole-hearted and intelligent way. Don't sleep over a gold mine! Don't stub your toe against a diamond and kick it out of the way! REACTIONARY MADNESS.

We have a great and powerful government free and intelligent citizens threatened by a handful of people of the social and industrial order she these people, hardly one of which act, have been deported. To the only an unnecessary step but of all this we have a United States through Congress that will put a public press, that will practically make contemplates making it unlaw advise or advocate a change in the institution of the United States in effect everything like a secr and the right of free speech here is an amendment to the Constitution, which would seem to give the right of free speech for all residents in this country. We will make no law respecting an amendment the law exclusive thereof, such or of the press, or the right of petition the Government for what is an amendment to the Constitution and hypocrisy which the country today is being run out of the law. And that does not lynch Negroes, but that animated by fear or hysteria its course, who are a people to do more than anything common sense. The historians of the future will find in the present psychology of the American people a curious field for study. He will compare it with the state of mind of the other countries that participated in the war; and he will wonder how it was that the United States, the last country to enter the war, the country the farthest away from the scenes of the war, and the country the least injured by the war should be, nevertheless, more reactionary after the war than any of the others. We have here the American Legion breaking up public meetings, mobbing orderly parades, passing resolutions condemning legitimate organizations, prohibiting German music at concerts and on the operatic stage, denying Kreisler, the great Austrian violinist, the right to appear in many cities; we have a movement on foot to put foreign languages out of the public schools; and we have the Government deporting people by the hundred for the expression of certain opinions. Nothing like this is going on in England or even in France: Only a week or two ago in England a German naval officer, the commander of a submarine, who had been interned was, on his release, tried before the courts on the charge of having sunk certain English vessels. The courts released him, saying that there was no English law under which he could be tried and convicted. We wonder what would have been the result of such a trial in the United States; most probably there would have been raised such a loud and sentimental demand that the submarine commander would have been made an "example", law or no law. Here we have a great and powerful government, representing one hundred million free and intelligent citizens, yet fearing that its overthrow is threatened by a handful of people who have different ideas about what the social and industrial order should be. So, nearly three hundred of these people, hardly one of whom could be convicted of any overt act, have been deported. To the future historian this will seem not only an unnecessary step but a most ludicrous action. Now, on top of all this we have a United States senator trying to get a bill through Congress that will put a permanent censorship on the American press, that will practically make the espionage laws fixed. This bill contemplates making it unlawful "for any person * * * to advise or advocate a change in the form of government or the Constitution of the United States * * *." With such a law as that in effect everything like a semblance of democratic government and the right of free speech would have disappeared. Of course, there is an amendment to the Constitution, the First Way, which would seem to guarantee the free right of free speech forever to American residents in this country. That amendment shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or publication the free exercise thereof; or abridging the free speech, or of the press, or the right of people peaceably to live and to petition the Government for a redress of is an amendment to the Constitution in the and hypocrisy which the country is now today is being run by the mob spirit in law. And that does not mean merely lynch Negroes, but the great mobs of accustomed by fear or hypocrisy, who are its course, who are afraid to face the America needs to do more than anything else is to get back to sanity and common sense. THINGS NEEDED IN HARLEM. There are several institutions necessary to the well-being of the colored population of Harlem, which the people themselves with a little self-denial and exertion on their part can supply. Among these things may be mentioned the following: ent tells how a Negro family in Laurens County, Ga., were compelled to sacrifice their property and leave for North Carolina, because a white neighbor claimed one of their hogs as his property. Another case of the same nature occurred in Upson County, where a colored farmer was thrown A club for the trained nurses of the race, where they may find relaxation in their rest hours and where the public may be enabled to send a call for their services in an emergency. A shelter for friendly girls and a home for delinquent girls, where the first may find protection and aid and the latter a helping hand to put them in the right path. Both of these institutions are already under way but contributions are needed to fully equip them and to put the work on a firm basis. Additional support is needed for the White Rose Home, the Sojourner Truth House and the Hope Day Nursery, as well as other deserving institutions working for the uplift and the welfare of the race. A dollar apiece as a contribution from each member of the race in Harlem would provide a fund that would suffice to put these institutions on a strong foundation for the year at least, and Harlemites would do a worthy act in thus meeting the needs of their own donors can indicate their preference as to the institution to receive the money, or the amount will be equally divided among them. Lew Adkins is glad to receive contributions for the show volume. The information is as follows: will find in the present psychology a field for study.

Another case of the same nature occurred in Upson County, where a colored farmer was thrown in jail after some trouble with a white neighbor over a boundary line, on the charge of trespassing. He also was compelled to leave, without being able to dispose of his property. In both cases the exile was enforced by notice from the "regulators," as the lawless whites style themselves. As the Independent sums it up, in both cases white men desired to purchase at their own figures the property of these Negroes, and these Negroes failing and refusing to dispose of their property as they had the constitutional right to do, became undesirable in the communities in which they lived and were expelled from their homes." And the law in Georgia was of no avail to ensure there Negroes the protection of their lives and property. The Black Dispatch, published at Oklahoma City, argues that the vision you need is the vision that will teach you how to construct something. In seeking to demonstrate his argument the editor tells of a fellow who wanted to buy a farm, but when the land was shown him refused to take it because he would not use the possibilities of development. In the meaning of his words who seemed it for the land he bought in 1850. The story of the Black Dispatch is worth reading. these men, and some pop, a bank, a dry shop, whatever anything that the other business makes and operates. Sometimes one man can do it sometimes it will take a group. Stop renting your opportunity, get in on the ground floor of citizenship." Good advice and aptly illustrated by the argument that precluded it. An affecting farewell to "John Barleycorn" was an editorial feature of the Chicago Plaindealer of December 20. In it the editor voiced his grief as follows: "Good bye, John. No more will you adorn the festal board; no more will you speed the majestic ship on its way as it glides down the ways to the sparkling sea; no more will the lover-pledge eternal devotion to his bride-to-be over thy effervescent cup; no more will you be accused of aiding and abetting crime. Your life has been gay and eventful. You have been accused of causing more misery and destruction than war with all its horrors. You die hard; but your fate is sealed. Your enemies have triumphed. So farewell; we will try to live without you." We trust the Chicago editor will persevere in determination to continue existence in a dry state, as the worst is yet to come. The Texas Freeman, published at Houston, is not satisfied with the attitude of the Dallas Express toward what it styles "lynchocrats and mobocrats." The Freeman observes "that when the race situation at Dallas looks bad and when the time comes for somebody to speak, the Express cringes and cows rather than publish what it really thinks and what is deepest in its heart and evades the issue entirely, or prints what other papers say in what it styles The Mirror of Public Opinion. That stand alone illustrates more plainly than anything the moral courage and backbone of the Dallas Express on vital issues." No such charge of evasion can be brought against the Freeman editor, however. --- Commenting on a vague suggestion in a recent number of the Literary Digest, that the vast majority of Negro papers "may be called radical in the expression of their ideas," the Cleveland Adyocate sternly denies the charge of radicalism. It adds with much pertinency: "All we ask and demand is a square deal—an equal opportunity to live and develop in this, our country, unhampered by restrictions because of our race and color. This is the platform of our press. If this is 'radicalism,' then God help Americans who thus characterize it." The point raised by the Advocate is well taken. The large number of young girls and women of the race now doing real clerical work in local department stores is attributed by the Pittsburgh American as the result of the far reaching and effective workings of the Urban League. One hundred more colored girls were lately employed in one department store and another has between fifty and sixty clerks. Other good work in connection with the holiday season in visiting the hospitals is credited to the League and the women's clubs cooperating with it. The presence of the Urban League appears to have been a useful factor in Pittsburgh, as elsewhere. The Nashville Globe, which claims to be the "leading Negro journal of Tennessee," is remarkable for the absence of original matter on its editorial page. The columns that would ordinarily be devoted to editorials in a recent issue contained reprint daily credited to such dailies as the New York Times, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Washington Star. It would appear as if the editor of the Globe had substituted the shears and the paste pot for the pen and the typewriter. We would welcome the resumption of the discussion of timely topics in Tennessee in the columns of the Globe. Vigil, a weekly race paper, published at Portsmouth, Va. says: "It is but a short time from entering the service before the average street car conductor feels like he is the 'whole cheese' and everybody else simply a slice." Evidently the conductor stepped on the editor's porch or else told him to "step lively" or "move up front," with too much brusqueness. The Rev. J. H. Martin, of Napoleonville, La., who claims to be the obliter A. M. E. minister in service in Texas and Louisiana, writes to the Christian Recorder that he has finished reading his Bible through for the fifteenth time. He is in the forty-third year of his ministry and we trust may read his Bible through at least fifteen times more. According to the Kentucky Reporter, published at Louisville, two Japanese Missionaries visited the Boekert T. Washington Community Center and spoke on the Bible and child life in Japan.

The New York Age News, Bureau, Jeannette Carter, Manager 600 F Street, N. W. Washington, D. C.-Negro lawyers of the District of Columbia, led by Counsel Neval H. Thomas, have been successful in obtaining equal accommodation for colored people in the new Court House restaurant recently opened. Shortly after the new Court House was distracted a few weeks ago, it was brought to the attention of the legal fraternity that colored lawyers and their clients were not served in the restaurant. Neval H. Thomas, a member of the branch executive committee, immediately took the matter up with the Supreme Court Judges, pointing out to them the peculiarly unjustifiable character of such discrimination in a court-house recently dictated to justice and democracy. He went to the restaurant after waiting a reasonable length of time for answer, but was refused service. Taking the matter up again, he found that a separate room had been outside for colored lawyers, and their items. Refusing to accept this compromise, he called on the judges personally and laid the matter before them with the result that the separate room was abolished and the restaurant supervisor instructed to serve all on the same terms.

C.-The public schools The Portland, Oregon, Advocate asks: "If Texas sends $5000 to fight Centralia I. W. W., how much ought she give to fight lynchers in her own state?" A hard sum to figure, if money could do it. It would probably bankrupt the State to bring the population of Texas to a proper conception of the enormity of the crime against civilization involved in its encouragement of lynch law and mob violence. The California Eagle had occasion to make the gratifying announcement in a recent issue that it was swamped with advertising matter. "and all from our very own race-business concerns too." This speaks, well for the commercial progress of the race in Los Angeles and should stimulate our people in other sections to make a similar record. Growth of the Mob Spirit. Lynching reacts upon the community, or the country in which it takes place. Lawlessness unrestrained is like a corroding ulcer. For many years the "good white people" have permitted the mob to hang and burn Negroes; now the mob spirit has climbed up into the palaces of the rich, where wealth is hoarded in abundance, and the multi-millionaire is no more immune from the mob than the alleged Negro rapist—Nashville Clarion.

The Dunbar Theatre has a seating capacity of nearly 1600, but Monday evening hundreds were turned away. Despite the fact that it was opening night everything worked with smoothness in front of the house and back stage. In the box office Miss Nan Davis, one of the efficient cashiers of the Lafayette Theatre, New York, and Miss Lillian E. Sharp, the Dunbar's head cashier, handled the crowd like trained veterans, while the ushers, under the direction of Miss "Jerry" Brown, chief usher of the Lafayette Theatre, saw to it that everybody was seated without confusion. G. Grant Williams, manager of the Dunbar Theatre, was busy officiating here, there and everywhere, and the stage crew, under Stage Manager Thomas I. Manley, did itself proud by shifting scenery and "props" with such celerity that the stage-performance was not marred by stage waits. Then there was the orchestra, under Director Samuel Gordon, which dispensed tuneful musical selections between the acts—that is, when E. C. Brown and Andrew P. Stevens were not occupying the center of the stage That the public fully appreciates the monumental task assumed by Messrs. Brown and Stevens in giving the colored people of Philadelphia the finest theatre of its kind in America, was evidenced by the storm of applause which greeted them after the first act.

Even the most skeptical had to admit that they scored a knockout. "Drama will go in Philadelphia" was the expression generally heard after the performance. The cast used at the opening of the Dunbar Theatre in "Within the Law" was selected with care. Miss Cleo Deamond, as Mary Turner, was in high spirits, for she had returned to the home of her birth to play a big part on the historic occasion. Andrew Bishop, a groom of only a few hours, apeared in the role of Police Inspector Burke, and momentarily forgot about his Washington bride. Miss Isabelle Jackson was one of the hits of the show, as Agnes Lynch, a confidence woman. Charles Moore, as Edward Gilder, and Lionell Monogas, as Richard Gilder, the son, were effective.

Criner, Henry Jones, Owing T. Hammond, Bob Slater and John Williams.

Music Notes TWO YEARS PRESENTS By LUCIEM H. WESTR. Eugene Mars Martin, youthful diction, and Hassel Thomas, melody, almost as youthful as Eugene divided between on Saturday evening at Acadia Hall in what was programmed as "An Expansion of the Negro Child in the Field of the Fine Arts." Both Eugene and Hassel could properly be denominated as youthful prodigies, for both of them display- ed ability far beyond their years. In technique they excelled, and both played with understanding and sympathy. Eugene's contribution was the long and difficult concerto in A minor, written by Violin for violin and orchestra. He played from memory, and it was a remarkable evidence of his sound musical knowledge and 'understanding that in not a single instance did he make a wrong attack. The florid cadenzas and bravura passages were essayed with confidence and played with case. He has a beautiful tone, and his bowing is a delight. Self-passed and also unassuming, the boy presents a decided contrast to some of his older confreres, who seem to think that artistic playing consists largely of manners. Hansel Thomas played Mozart's concert in E flat major for piano and orchestra, with a cadena by James Frisbin. She gave evidence of a sound musical training, with a developed technique that gives promise for her future, if that future is given to hard and unremitting study and practice. She is a painter and musician, hardly seem to have sufficient physical strength for any astringent effort, but this impression is dispelled as soon as she strikes the keys of the piano. Then it is discovered that there is power and endurance in her small arms and hands. I wish her success for the future, and in doing so let me take the opportunity to advise steering clear of the paths of conceit and self-adulation. It is natural for unthinking people to praise unwisely and unduly the efforts of their young friends and relatives and it is the rare child whose mental poise is strong enough to maintain its equilibrium when these florid and profuse compliments are being received. If Hazel can escape these pitfalls and continues to give her best thought and effort to further development she will most certainly make for herself a place in the musical life of her people. David I. Martin, director of the Martin-Smith School, directed the orchestra of one hundred players, and his efforts were crowned with success. The opening number, the "Egmont," overture by Beethoven, was played in a masterly manner. Although I have always thought highly of his, musical attainments and personal charm, I have never been able to admire Mr. Martin as a conductor. He is a thorough musician, a splendid teacher and a good school manager, but as a composer he has always seemed to me to lack personality, magnetism and an intangible something which is given only to the born conductor and which passes from him to his players, forming an invisible bond and seeming to com literature. The play scored a tremendous success. hine efforts with his intentions into a delightful oneness. but notwithstanding this lack, if it be a lack other than in my imagination, Mr. Martin secured most excellent results from his orchestra in the "Egmont" overtime. Likewise did he give worthwhile support to young Eugene Martin in the orchestra's playing of the Fetti concerto. Not quite so worthy of commendation was its playing in support of Miss Thomas, its work at times being ragged and uneven. But the splendid playing of Miss Thomas atoned for all orchestral lapses. Lucile Spence read the poem, "Fifty Years," written by James Veldon Johnson in commemoration of the Negro's fifteenth year of freedom. She has a splendid voice, well suited in its modulations and intonations to the rendering of this epic poem and the large audience enjoyed it. A class of children under direction of Evelyn Thomas, danced a gavette, music by Gluck Brechus, and then Evelyn Thomas gave a solo dance developed by Louis Chalf, to music by Augustus Wierzza. Miss Julia Delaney was at the piano for these dances. Fugene Mars Martin conducted a children's orchestra in the playing of *Hardin's Toy Symphony*, and a group of children vollinists clapped the program with a Moto Perpetuum by Rogers. But the number that the people seemed to enjoy and appreciate to a greater degree than any other was the playing of two little midget children, a boy and a girl, Winston Collymore and Millie Simmons. Winston played the violin and Millie was at the piano, and they rendered a little polka by *Daniela*. Both were self-possessed and unafraid, although their joint years probably would not total a dozen. They were compelled to come back and how in response to enthusiastic applause, but wisely, I think—they were not allowed to attempt an encore. During the intermission Mr. Martin made a strong appeal in behalf of the school's work which will probably result in much good. He and his staff deserve commendation and help. JERSEY CITY, N. I.
