Futile Fight for Negro Candidate
Alleged that Defeat is Due to Compromise Action of Prominent Colored Leaders in Nominating Convention
Negro Republican voters of the 21st congressional district of New York, comprising the 13th, 19th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd Aldermane districts of Manhattan, will not have a chance to vote for a colored candidate for congressman this year on the regular Republican ticket, for the delegates attending, the nominating convention held on Monday night, August 9, at the Republican Club of the 22nd A. D., corner Amsterdam avenue and 145th street, decided to name Martin Ansorge of the 13th A. D., as the party nominee for congress. And Mr. Ansorge is not a colored man.
Negro Tailors Organize A National Association
First Annual Session Held in New York City August 4-6,1920-Members Present from Twenty-Five States
Not since but an epoch was marked in the Negro tailoring world Wednesday morning, August 4, when R. R. Burt of New York, national president opened the first annual session of the National Negro Tailors Association at the Harlem Community House, 139th street and Seventh avenue.
More than 100 delegates, representing twenty-five states, coming from Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida and other parts of the country, were present. During the three days' session a number of speakers addressed the body, among whom were B. A. Birmingham, Ala.; M. K. Tyson, national secretary, of Birmingham, N. C.; J. W. Yancey of Danville, Va.; T. B. Pursley, owner of an establishment in Asbury Park, N. J., and another in New York; B. S. Shorey, representative of the Bruner Woolen Company of New York; counsellor Hawkins, and E. H. Clarke, local secretary, of New York.
Rare keys were centered on Attore, with John H. Smith of 205 West Wickham. Mr. Smith was given an uncleavent compact of the delegates from the 10th A.D. under the leadership of John L. Loyse, and he also had the support of a goodly number of the delegates from the 21st A.D. who are in the town district of Assembliesborough John H. Hawkins.
Eight: Ballots Taken.
Charles W. Anderson named Mr. Smith for the honor, and the second was led by Mr. Solomon, followed by many others. The first ballot showed the votes divided between three candidates Dr. Kruus Johnson, Robt. Stolling, callate, with 225; Marr. Angeorge 244, and H. Willock 118. He remained about the same as the were cast through three ballots.
The delegates from the church had been dividing between Johnson and Stolling, both badly to Angeorge.
The race of face was brought about by a kind of a common agreement between church and leaders. John M. Rockefeller and Victor George W. Rockefeller. Hereon, it is declared, the white candidate is made it possible for Cork to call on the soil call on the announcement with the announcement.
The third cast a solid vote.
The final selection of Mr. Angeorge certainly, and this was carried further by the swinging
Negro Tailors of A National
First Annual Session in City August 4-6, 19ent from Twer
Not a success, but an epoch was made Wednesday morning. August 4, when president opened the first annual session Association at the Harlem Community Avenue.
More than 100 delegates, represent Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama and other parts of the country, were to number of speakers address E. V. Jones of Birmingham, Ala.; Birmingham N. C.; J. W. Yancey of Oaust establishment in Ashbury Park; E. S. Shorer, representative of the Negro counsellor Hawkins, and E. York.
Members of the association reported that the tailoring business was flourishing in their respective cities. G. W. Charles, S. C., said that the patronage business were the most successful he had, and that it was difficult to spare the time to attend the George M. K. Dixon, national secretary, said that it was a very profitable trade in his business. He is the founder of the organization having called for formal meetings at Greenhous, S. C., in 1912 before he went to the army.
Electa National Officera.
During the first session Friday the following national officers were elected for the following year: R. H. Burt of New York president; B. A. Jones of Birmingham. Ma. vice president; M. K. Tyson of Burlington, N. C. secretary-treasurer; R. N. Poele of Jacksonville, Fla. assistant secretary treasurer; T. B. Purkey of New York, national organizer, who will travel over the country organizing in real state. M. trust the constitution of the organization admitted only tailors, but it has been amended to admit departmentals.
over of the 32nd N. D. vote, which had been cast solidly for Dr. Johnson. The selection was finally made unanimously by the entire delegation, without a dissenting vote.
Colored Women Stood Pirm.
It was a noteworthy fact that colored women, present for the first time as delegates, stood firmly for the candidacy of the colored man, and they relied on a be assured even if they were not who entered into the agreement, which killed the chance for a liberal congressional nominee.
Another circumstance worthy of notice, and to be remembered by the true hearted race voter, is the support given Mr. Smith's candidacy by John L. Lyons. Republican leader of the 10th A. D. Arthur Murtha and Dave Contuma. These white men had promised to support a Negro candidate for congress and they kept their promise to the end.
Charles W. Anderson's Efforts.
In this attitude these men allied themselves with Charles W. Anderson, and were in frequent consultation with the colored leader in attempting to bring about the nomination of the colored candidate. It was interesting to note that while the Jewish delegates from all the districts gave their support consistently to Ansorge, the Negro delegates from the 18th A. D. neglected entirely the claims of Mr. Smith. The 18th vote

In commenting on the meeting Secretary Typson said he voiced the sentiment of the meeting when he thanked the City or New York for its hospitality shown them. Also are they grateful to the Detmer, Imperial, and Mason & Hannon Woolen Companies for the courtesies extended to them, and especially the Bruner Woolen Company who, after conducting the national officers through its various department, entertained them at the, Capitol Theatre, the world's largest amusement house, at 50th street and Broadway.

was cast solidly from beginning to end for Mr. Anorge.
Charles W. Anderson fought consistently and earnestly against the efforts of the other colored leaders to bring about a coalition with the forces favoring the nomination of a white candidate as against a colored man, but it was impossible to overcome the Congress finally effected when the Franklin forces swung not only their white delegates but the colored men also to the support of the 13th district man. The regular Republicans of the 21st congressional district will give their united support to the candidacy of Martin Anorge, but a regret remains that the colored candidate was defecated.
Andrew B. Humphrey announced beforehand that he intended being a candidate regardless of the convention's action, and he would not allow his name to be placed before the nominating convention. He will probably go into the September primaries as an independent candidate. Louis A. Leavelle took a similar stand, refusing to allow his name to be presented before the convention. In his letter of declination, however, Mr. Leavelle emphasized his intention to support the party's nominee in the regular election in case he, Leavelle, should be defeated for nomination in the primary.

(Special to THE NEW YORK NEWS)
Utica, N.Y. More than a month ago the Hotel Martin of this city put in a crew of colored cool's under Eugene Redding of New York as chef.
The Hotel Utica is running colored watters in the grill room. Something unusual.
An outrage that might have been committed in Georgia, Mississippi or Texas was given a Coney Island setting when, on the night of Thursday, August 5, a party of five colored persons, three women and two men, was set upon by a crowd of United States sailors and not only severely heaten, but thrown from the B. R. T. train in which they were seated.
The party consisted of Mrs. Mamie Bell, 46 West 139th street, Mrs. Juliette Winters and Miss Marie Rucker, both of 664 Lenox avenue, John S. Robb, 215 West 138th street, and Lewis W. Lee, 253 West 136th street. They had spent the evening at the famous seashore fun resort and about 12:10 a.m. m. had boarded the city-bound B. R. T. train chore to Manhattan. Seated quietly in the car, which was packed with homegoing folks, the party had no thought or intimation of trouble.
BISHOP L. H. HOLSEY NURSES TO MEET IN C.M.E.CHURCH, IS DEAD NATIONAL CONVENTION
According to Mr. Lee, a branch of eighteen roughneck sailors injured the train and as soon as they spied the colored passengers began to molest them. The party paid no attention to the sailors, and finally the ruffians came up to them. One of the sailors tapped Mr. Robb on the shoulder and asked the question, "How dangerous place?" Feeling that the men were seeking trouble, and not caring to involve the young women in so unpleasant a situation, Robb made no reply.
Sailors Attacked Them.
This reticence seemed to serve only to incense the burly ruffians, and they immediately surrounded the party of colored people. Three of them got to Lee and then informed their partners that they had only to take care of Robb: Not content with beating up the men and throwing them from the train, the sailors, the officers, the men, the women, noted, turned upon the women of the party, beat them in their faces and threw them from the train also. Fantastic calls for help from all members of the party, met with no response from passengers, crew or officers of the train.
A young white boy, passing through the train selling peanuts and popcorn, was
advised to Ivy New York
Special to the New York Mail
Atlanta, G. - Bishop L. H. Holsey, of the C. M. E. Church, the oldest living bishop in service, died Tuesday, August 3, at his home on Auburn avenue, August 14, Georgia, was buried from the West Macdougall Street, M. E. Church on Friday, August 6. All of the bishops of the C. M. E. Church with a host of ministers were present.
Bishop R. A. Carter of Chicago, III, presided and Bishop Lane delivered the eulogy.
The life of Bishop Holsey is known not only throughout the church but through the breadth of this country. A number of churches and schools stand as a monument to his unequal sacrifice. History will never be able to record the sacrificial services rendered by this great man. There are hundreds who will miss his personal help and a number who will be wilt out his counsel and guidance. Truly a great man has fallen in Israel.
MRS. HAILEY OF GA
VISITING IN NEW YORK
Mrs. Mamie Hailey, district grand most noble governor of District Household of the State of Georgia, and national worthy grand superior-elect of the Households in America, is visiting Hortense Tollier 145 West 142nd street. She will remain in the city until convening of the B. M. C., in Washington Del., September 13.
the only individual with courage to protests against the barbarous acts of the wearers of the U. S. navy uniform, and he was likewise beaten and thrown from the train.
The train crew, before the victims could secure names of witnesses or any data that would serve as evidence, gave the number of the train, closed the train doors, gave the signal to the motorman, and thus caused the train to pull out leaving the colored men and women bruised and battered on the ground.
Mr. Lee consulted a lawyer early on Friday morning, but was advised to take his case to the N. A. A. C. P. This he did, but the legal force of that organization, it appeared, was on vacation, and there was no out to make up the case for immediate action. Not understanding these setbacks, it is the intention of Mr. Lee and his companions to call on every possible source of aid in the endeavor to secure redress for the grievous wrongs which they suffered at the hands of these civilized (2) barbarians.
It is probable that a out against the Brunellyn Kandi Train will be instituted as a first step in the matter. The identity of the sailors is, of course, disturbed in mystery, so far as the victims are concerned.

PACE & HANDY CO. IN THEIR NEW BUILDING
Pace & Handy, music publishers, after only two years of business activity have been compelled to acquire larger quarters and so have taken over the entire building at 232 West 40th street, to be known hereafter as the Pace & Handy building. The professional Department has been greatly enlarged, new music rooms opened and additional pianos installed. Professional artists will find not only the usual courtesy but will be benefited by these greater facilities.
Mr. Handy has long been recognized as the originator of "The Blues" music, and this continues to be the specialty of the firm, but they have also published a number of ballads, follains and comics, including: "Pickananny Rose," which is buying a wide sale, "Everything is going up," and "Chasing the Blue."
Another song which is being used by the elevator boys in the Gayety Building where the first office were located is "Long Gone." To the hundred years ago, they were finally looking for Pace & Handy, the boys simply reply, "Long Gone." This song written by W. C. Handy and Chris Smith, it has about a hundred verses that adapt it to any locality or situation. It is being featured by Jack Amick of the Neil O'Brien's ministrels.
Harry H. Pace, president of the company, is now permanently located in New York, and is in personal charge of the new headquarters, the Pace & Handy building, 232 West 40th street, opposite the N. V. A. building and between Broadway and Elmhurst.
Great Increase in Number of High-Class Buther Shops, Grocery Stores and Dry-Goods Establishments
Well-Appointed Businesses are Being Conducted by All Elements of the Race Have Caught the Modern Spirit
There is a gradual increase in the number of colored retail dealers in Harlem. Meat markets, grocery stores and dry goods shops are being opened here and there in Harlem with grandifying steadiness and are bearing up well in competition with longer established white enterprises.
The grocery business shows the greatest growth. Harlem has now some eighteen colored grocery stores as against those thin hold that number five years ago. Some of these stores are wide-railed enterprises with well-stocked shelves and with live counters service behind the counters. Others are still handicapped by the sleepy, blundering spirit that has retarded for a long time the growth of Negro business.

Caught Modern Spirit.
There are fewer of these backward, inefficient grocery stores, however, that up-to-date, progressive ones. Most colored Harlem stores have caught the modern spirit of efficiency, service and sound business and are profiting by it and growing. The Victoria Market, Lenox avenue and 138th street, C. W. Anderson, proprietor, seems to have caught this spirit and seems to be profiting by it. Meats and groceries are sold at the market and are passed over the counter by onlookers; most men who know their businesses. The Church, Allison Store in 158 West 143rd street, an incorporated grocery enterprise with W. C. Campbell as manager, appears to be enjoying steady patronage; do the great Groceries, 110 West 137th at 47 West 138th street, the Traveling Market at 2254 Fifth avenue and the Intercolonial Supply Corporation at 248 Seventh avenue, Thomas Daly president, which does some export business with the British West Indies and West Africa.
Black Hebrewa Sell Meat
One of the most interesting colored meat and grocery businesses in Harlem is the Harlem Meat Market at 2367 Seventh avenue. This business is operated by members of a colored Hebrew sect, which seems to have a considerable following in Harlem. It is interesting to note that these black Hebrew operate their grocery and meat business with the same shrewdness and aptitude at bargaining that characterize their brethren of the white race.
The largest colored business in Harlem that deals in meat only is operated by Joseph Moron successor to the Weaver Brothers, Mr. Moron's butcher shop, the Smithfield at 517 Lenox avenue, deals in fresh and corned meats, hams and bacon only.

Last Court Decision Court to Review F of Manhattan C
To The Lodges, Households, Council's Patrarchs and Juvenile Branches of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America.
You were notified some time ago that a Jury in the Court of Common Pleas, after a trial lasting ten days, with numerous witnesses and legal arguments, rendered a verdict in favor or Bro. John S. Norl and his associates, and decided that they were the Grand Officers of the Order regularly elected. In fact, to quote from Judge Ferguson the Presiding Judge, the jury were asked to find "First—If the Sub Committee of Management was justified under the circumstances in assuming the right to postpone the meeting of the B. M. C., Second—Whether or not, being justified in postponing the B. M. C., they acted in good faith in what they did; and Third—Whether or not there was a legally constituted B. M. C., held in New York in September 1918, which elected officers of the Order, and necessarily made those officers the officers of the Pennsylvania Corporation to wit: the Sub Committee of Management. The verdict was for John S. Norl, the Relatives his Associates, and against Bro. Edward H. Morris on all three points.
An appeal was taken by Mr. Morris and his associates, and the Court decided that this verdict should be set aside, because the verdict should not have sufficient evidence before them to warrant them in their conclusion relative to the third point. That they were erroneous in deciding that there was a legal can-

and is not run in conjunction with grocery or vegetable departments, as are many coloured meat businesses.
The Dry Goods Business
Retail dry goods business has not been attempted by many colored men in Harlem. There are but two gooing businesses—The Berry and Ross retail store at 67 West 135th street, of which detailed mention was made in last week's business article, and the Unique Dry Goods Store operated by Vangun and Globa at 57 West 135th street. In the dry goods business, we and one-half years and the honest consideration of growing men to establish other furnishing points of vantage in (Harlem).
Another Herder father
Richelberger & L. L. Koehler, of whom served with the officers in the great war, have settled down to the peaceful business of serving as haberdashers to the gentlemen of taste and lastidiousness. Handsome scarfs and delicate and durable shirts, according to preference, are offered for sale at attractive locations. Their store is located at West 135th street. Clark & Garrett, tailors, are conducting their business at the same place, in conjunction with the haberdashery, and are doing a fine class of work.
Correction
Note-An error was made in the business article on real estate which appeared in The Age of June 31. The firm of Nail & Parker was called the pioneer real estate firm of Harlem. As a matter of fact, the Payton Realty Company, 127 West 141st street, deserves that honor.
In the article of August 7, Norman, the Lenox avenue hambassador, was described as a new colored business departure, but this business is conducted by white men, only employing a colored man as clerk.

Not Final--Supreme finding on Legality Casino Meeting
instituted B. M. C., held in New York in Sept. 1918, and that the only legal B. M. C., was the one at Manhattan Casino. The Court holds in the opinion of Judge Ferguson, that neither the Stonwall's Hall B. M. C., nor the Manhattan Casino, B. M. C., were held according to the Laws and Rules of the Order prescribed for holding same.
The decision does not disturb the first two conclusions of the jury to wit: That the Sub Committee had no right to postpone the B. M. C., and that they did not act in good faith in pronoun gating such postponement.
*An Appeal has taken to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania from this view of Judge, Ferguson's opinion of the Jury's verdict, as to the legality of the Manhattan Casino, B. M. C. by Bro. Noel and his associates. This rates a very important question—if the appeal is sustained, the Wilmington B. M. C. will be thereby adjudged to be the rightful and authoritative assembly, because as was selected as the Meeting place of the 20th B. M. C., by the 19th B. M. C. at Manhattan Casino.
*The New York B. M. C., called to meet in New York City this year for either the Stowall Hall B. M. C., in 1919, or by the Sub Committee of Management, will have no legal status upon any theory either in the laws of the head or the Order.
*Washington B. M. C., decreed that the next meeting meeting should be in New York in 1918, it has now been judged to be decided, that no B. M. C., must be New York in 1918, and further that the S. C. M. has no authority either to

round a B. M. C., or to summon a new one. Bro. Morris and his associates are estopped from appealing the decision that Stovall's Hall B. M. C. was not a legal one, because, relying upon one phase of the decision, they must adopt all of it, while the forces of Bro Noel are appealing to the Higher Court that the Manhattan Casino B. M. C., which selected Wilmington, Del. was legal. There is therefore no color of authority for holding a B. M. C. in New York City in September of the meantime, in view of the above stated facts and the present status of the affairs of the Order, while this appeal is awaiting final determination and settlement, there are three things important, namely:
First: That all lodges should continue to act upon our advice by maintaining there financial rehitions with Iroo Needham. To follow this course will avoid confusion, because if the final decision of the court is in our favor, Grand Secty Needham will be required to account for all monies received by him to Grand Secty Needham, and to turn to him the affairs of the Order in proper shape.
Second: That all Lodges having the interest of the order at heart, should complete their arrangements to make the Wilmington, B. M. C., a great and unqualified success. From reports received there will be a large and representative attendance. The local committee at Wilmington has made extensive and elaborate plans for the care, comfort and entertainment of the delegates and visitors. Every member of the Order who is desirous of ending the day of our man power and our rule, and of sharing in the New Day in which all of the lodges and the members of the Order will not only be assured of a square deal, but will have a truly representative voice in the control and affairs of the Government of the Order who believes that in the Order should be a New Breed of Freedom, and not a Bally on TO WILMINGTON
Third: That Bro Noel and his colleagues stand pledged to conduct your central business affairs with efficiency and economy, and to demonstrate to all brothers that a change in administration is a good and wholesome thing for the Order.
Send duplicate credentials of your delegate to Grand Secy elect Nelson and assemble in full force at Wilmington, Sept. 13th. If any one is threatened, intimidated or any effort of corruption directed against either the judge or individual delegate pending the settlement of this controversy by the Supreme Court, who decides to attend the Wilmington B. M. C., or to adjourn with Bro. Noel and his associates, a prompt report of the fact will be very much appreciated, and full protection within both the Laws of the Court of the Courts of the Land will be provided by us.

A Review of What The Negro Has Achieved In Industry
Notwithstanding Opposition and Obstructions He has Entered New Realm and Has More Than Made Good
entered this field in great numbers recently, he is awakened to a sense of his opportunities, and slowly, but surely, is entrenching himself in the held in a manner that neither sentiment nor prejudice can oppose.
During the period of the war, as a substitute or military necessity, the Negro was initiated into manufactories that were hitherto closed to him because of color. Almost immediately he was rushed into to be weighed in a balance that only abnormal circumstances could produce. How was he received? has he made good? what is his future? are pertinent and important question.
Does he work two days in seven, and then stop and spend what he has earned? Can he be depended upon to keep the wheels of industry turning? If short, is he carried and efficient? These questions are answered nationally, as employees throughout the country are glad to express themselves about the Negro. True, many have failed utterly for nothing, more could be found from an in-
Naturally, he was received with suspicion. As an untrained messenger and an altogether inexperienced person and one purported to be inferior, quite naturally the burden of proof rested with him. Imagine a race jumping from agriculture to manufactories in the course of a few hours. True, the distance over which he travelled, covers but a few hours, but in climatic conditions, environment, habits of thought and work, the race jumped centuries. Taken, from the quiet easy-going influence of the farm, he was placed in the rapid moving, mess, often hazardous industry of the past. He was not known that many who wish well were perilic to about his future. Even Negro leaders who desired and encouraged the change were not unmindful of the danger. The Negro, therefore, had to make his way and establish himself in the eyes of public opinion and also employers who were diphious about his ability. Such a task was by nature easy.
Obstructions in His Way.
But this was not all. Organized labor was often refused him admission, while individual workers threw distributions in his way. This state of affairs, added to an already difficult task labor Union, father anarchy, has been how to realize that the Negro must either be a local member of a competition. As a coworker, he will sympathize and espouse the ideals of the Union, but as a competitor he adds capitalists to defeat their aims. The awakening consciousness of Union, however, is changing their attitude. This fact is shown by increased liberality which is demonstrated at every successive annual conference of the American Federation of Labor. A high water mark was reached at the thirty-ninth annual convention and in response to a petition to give the Negro a fair deal and charter them under the national charter, the following resolution was passed:
The influence of the world of affairs is such that makes necessary a closer and more ordered feeling of anarchy and purpose on the part of all who labor, and
"Whereas. This spirit of oneness of purpose can and will only be completely achieved when the benefits derived by the efforts of organized labor are sex or color, but shall be the common lot and heritage of all; and
"Whereas. In the past, because of a lack of realization on the part of white laborers, that to keep the urge jojo into labour poultry businesses, to keep the male workforce in the male workforce, for the unimpcious employer to exploit the one against the other to the mutual disadvantage of each.
"Therefore, be it Received. That this, the thirty-nine annual session go on record as endorsing the actions from colored origin and labor."
At the same convention locals were informed that the National Federation is locked with disapproval by any districtman in account of color or tone. The next convention held in Montreal Canada, repudiated these reactions and were even further and ordained the appointment of Negro organizers to testiment colored workers into the local. The religious state of Negro workers was planted when Negro organizers Negro workers under the banner of the American Federation of Labor. These commutable steps are used to bring trivial results.
Has Taken His Place.
Reserved with ten power and shade,
and contested with eight old deviant,
pass the Negro boy taken his place
in the field of industry as a man seeking
neither favor or essential consideration,
but dearing and determined to
have a space and honest deal.
Has he made good? I have a long
worthy, good for nothing liability,
but he has often been permitted to be

Does he work two days in seven, and then stop and spend what he has earned? Can he be depended upon to keep the wheels of industry turning? If short, is he careless and efficient? These questions are answered nationally, as employers throughout the country are glad to express themselves about the Negro. True, many have failed utterly, for nothing more could be expected from an indiscriminate selection, but the average Negro, or, to be more exact, far beyond 95 per cent has succeeded admirably. Chicago claims that approximately 60,000 negro men and women have been added to the industrial labor force. The stock yards, according to report from the Chicago, Urban League, employ 8,000. The Corn Products, Renning Corp. increased its force of colored employees in one year from 30 to 1,000. The demand for colored help is greater than the supply.
Columbus, Ohio with the prewar population of less than 15,000, has increased to nearly 15,000, and the doors of Carnegie Steel Company, Ohio Malleable Company and the Edison Steel Car Company have thrown their doors open to the Negro.
In Pittsburgh and vicinity more than 15,000 Negroes have been placed at a Negro Industrial Welfare Worker Conference, coupled with February 26, 1926, and according to authoritative statements, the Negro, after a brief period of adjustment, prove more factory than most type of foreign worker.
One Detroit Firm Employees 16,002
In Detroit our automobile firm employs 1,090 Negro workers. Between July 2 and December 25, 1917, employer, small-caller, for 5,512 male and 317 female workers, according to statements from the Detroit Urban League cooperating with the Employer's Association of Detroit. That the Negro is hiding the gap offered is attested to as a statement from the Urban League and Employer's Association, that the year ending November 15, 1917, had placed about 10,000 Negro workers. Questionnaires sent to 111 firms in New York's City employing more than 500 persons showed that more than 42 per cent of the larger industrial firms make use of Negro workers. Many

The daily cost means that steel plants, by no means impractical. The writer contends many of the steel industries in Ohio and Western Tennessee automated at seeing Negro unacustomed to jobs in heavy hazardous industries in early hazardous industries in moderate tasks. The Negro is striving to the world by carrying conclusively his work. With the continued migration which signs of stopping and with the opportunities which firms are offering the colored worker, together with awakening liberality of the Negro is sure to become a great item in industry.
Again, there is an undercurrent of consciousness combined with the ambition which exemplifies efforts to serve every possible opportunity with an unchallenged determination.

CHARTER TO MOB AND
MURDER
If it was seriously asserted that the Italian government had granted a charter to the Mafia or the Black Hand, none in his sober senses would credit the report. But when the southern newspapers announce that the State of Georgia and the Superior Court of Fulton County have granted a charter to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, no assentishment is expressed.
And yet in the Ku Klux reports issued by the Congress of the United States the history of the latter organization was marked by as many midnight assassinations and whippings of defenseless men and women as could be claimed for the Italian malefactors. And the organization recently chartered in Georgia claims, to be actuated by the same "noble spirit and lofty principles that inspired the formation of the famous Ku Klux Klan in the dark days of reconstruction, immediately following the Civil War." The fact that the chief of the original order was the Confederate General N.B. Forrest, who was responsible for the massacre of Fort Pillow, was an index to the bloody policy that it adopted. That responsible State officials, sworn to preserve the peace, should give legal license to the revival of such an organization, would be inconceivable to one not acquainted with the prevailing Southern sentient.
One Southern State is to be credited with refusing to allow the revival of this infamous organization of thugs within its borders. In North Carolina, Governor Bickett, some months ago, refused to permit the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, on the ground that it threatened to disturb the peaceful relations of the two races. When the South has more executives of this strife, no charters will be granted. A rest orders planned for the purposes of limb murder and intimidation.
A SHORTAGE OF COTTON
From various sections and from different industries there have been reported complaints of a shortage of cotton and the situation has been referred to the Federal Trade Commission and the Departments of Commerce and Labor with requests for investigation and solution. Charges have been made of an attempt to corner the existing stock of Sea Island cotton, which is in demand for wrapping electrical wire and for the manufacture of automobile tires.
Now, Sea Island cotton is raised principally in South Carolina, Florida and southern Georgia also, in other parts of the South. It is simply the trade name given to a good grade of cotton. The bulk of the cotton crop is raised by Negroes, either as independent planters or as tenant farmers on shares, or simply as contract laborers. The fact that recent travelers in the South have described many of these plantations as abandoned and overgrown with weeds and the workers migrated to the North, may account for the shortage and consequent corner in Sea Island cotton. And yet Georgia and other Southern States are permitting the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, with its records of midnight whippins and murders, to encourage the raising of—cotton.
WEAKNESS IN THE CHURCHES The Ace has ever been mindful of the value and importance of religious institutions as an active force in the welfare and progress of the community and of the race at large. Its efforts have been to encourage and stimulate the activities of the churches in the way of bringing about better living and making better men and women.
While the church is properly regarded as a divine institution, its workers and instruments are perforce human, and partake of the human quality of erring at times in their policies and actions. When these human errors tend to weaken the usefulness of the church as an instrumentality for good, it becomes the duty of the friends of the institution to endeavor to avert such a calamity.
This is the spirit in which The Apostle has had occasion recently to call attention to the situation of two of the oldest churches in the community, and to appeal to those responsible for their administration to take such action as may preserve their usefulness as towers of strength for righteousness, instead of worshining their influence through acts of omission or commission.
In the first instance, the necessity for the calling of a strong man, as pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Brooklyn, was pointed out. He should be a worthy successor to the late Porter Duncan and Dr. Moore. We need man or woman with the strength to work with the
position. The ablest and strongest man that the denomination can furnish is requited for the good of the church and the good of the community. Let the people and the trustees of Concord realize the responsibility that theirs is keeping the church from weakening in its work for righteousness.
The other case that we referred to was the airing of the internal troubles of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, of Manhattan, in the civil courts. This trouble should be settled by the denomination without recourse to the courts. If the bishop is wrong in seeking to force an unfit pastor upon the church, he should be strong enough to set himself right by reversing his action. If on the other hand, the people of the church, are not justified in their stand against accepting the new pastor, they should acquiesce in the decision of the bishop. In either event, the church should be kept out of the courts and the differences of opinion settled by godly counsel and churchly discipline. The airing of religious insensitivity in the courts serves only to weaken the influence of the church. If the discipline of the church is to serve any good purpose, it should prevent such weakening of the vital powers of the institution.
Let our religious brethren practice true religion by dwelling together in harmony and working for the greater glory of God and the building up of His Kingdom among men.
An interesting exhibition of the emotional side of human nature has been presented to the New York public in the sessions of the so-called Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League of the world.
Credit must be given to the leaders of this movement for the adroit manner in which they have played to the galleries. No detail has been omitted in the matter of high sounding titles for the officers, elaborate robes of office and the artful aids of bands of music and impassioned orators, to arouse the sentiments of racial pride and enthusiasm among their followers
But the real motive actuating the entire movement is to be found in the insistent demand for the common here to buy stock in the various enterprises promoted by the leaders. Whether these enterprises are legitimate or not, from the standpoint of ordinary business, we have no means of telling, but the persistent appeal for Subscriptions gives the whole meeting the appearance of a gigantic stock jobbing scheme, put forth under the guise of racial improvement. Bompast and buncombe constitute a large part of the windy utterances of the speakers, sugar coated with flavor of race aggrandement, the better, to catch the flies with the dollars for stock subscriptions. The tendency of these speeches has been to arouse a spirit of antagonism and defiance, totally uncalled for in the surroundings of the convention. Many of the delegates and other attendants at these meetings go to and from the hall carrying a chiffon on their shoulder, as the old saying has it. That there has no far occurred no breach of peace is not the fault of the speakers and those in charge of the movement.
The whole proceedings so far have been characterized by an utter lack of discretion and concern for the larger interests of the Negro race, which are inseparably tied up with the future of America.
As to the announced purpose of the movement for the redemption of Africa with the slogan of "Africa for Africans," we see no hope for any practical results, likely to flow from this movement. Undoubtedly considerable sums of money may be raised from the emotional masses, whose sentiments of race pride are being exploited through the adventures aid of parti-colored robes and the titles of "imperial potentates" and "universal leaders." There may even be some of this money sent to Liberia, where buildings for the headquarters of the movement are projected. But the redemption of Africa is not likely to come about through such means.
The present concern of the great masses of the American Negro is not with Africa, but right here in the United States. And it is bound to remain here. The great progress accomplished by the race during the past sixty years has been through the slow but sure processes of mental, moral and material growth. Through individual and cooperative effort the race has climbed from the depth of chattel slavery and poverty and ignorance and attained a foothold in the industrial and social fabric of the republic.
This foothold must not be sacrificed through the vapors of such agitators as those concerned in the present movement. Needless to say, it will not be. While a certain percentage of the easily worked upon multitude may be carried off their feet by the gorgeous schemes presented by agitator's of this stripe, and yield up some of their hard earned dollars for experimental purposes, the great majority of the race will continue to strive for an equal chance in the great American commonwealth of which they are an integral part. They will continue to give a fair day's work for a fair wage, to build up business of their own, and to give their children sufficient education to equip them to play their part in the world's work.
Those who want to take a chance in African development and repatriation schemes, should do so with their eyes open, and without the aid of rose-colored spectacles or robes of many colors. Incidentally, it might be remarked that this movement has furnished several rallented and vociferous agitators with the help of them, who have given their help to the cause.
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, AUG. 14, 1920
REDUCTION OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS
The question of the reduction of Southern representation in Congress in the proportion in which the Negro population is excluded from the polls will come for hearings before the Committee of Reapportionment at the next session of Congress. Mr. Isaac Siegel of New York, Chairman of the committee, has discussed the matter but has not stated definitely that he was in favor of the reduction.
There has been a great deal of agitation on the question, and Mr. Siegel admitted that the sentiment in favor of reduction had grown steadily in recent months. Mr. Siegel said that most of the propaganda was based on justice to the Negro, but that there were white Republicans who objected earnestly to the practice of making Republican Negroes, who are kept away from the polls, the means of increasing Democratic representation in Congress.
However, Negroes and white Republicans are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the excess representation which the South has in Congress; Northern Democrats are also dissatisfied. The Wilson administration opened their eyes, for under it Northern Democrats stood very little better chance than Republicans.
If the Republicans are ever to do it, now is the time. They have weakened heretofore whenever the actual test came. It is likely they did so because up to eight years ago the Solid South was really a political asset to the Republican party. That is no longer true; the Republican party must strain every nerve if it wins against the Solid South.
Let a Republican Congress put the South to the test, and see if it is willing to lose a part of its representation rather than give the Negro the common right to the ballot.
THE EUROPEAN CRISIS
Are you reading carefully what is happening in Europe today? If you are not, you are missing the opportunity to witness the consecutive events in a crisis that will direct the course of civilization for many years to come. Such a crisis as the world is passing through today is of the same kind that every well informed person has read about in history. These crises are somewhat like the appearances of a comet, they come at long intervals but with regularity.
Anybody can recognize a great crisis in history, and see how it changed and shaped the fate of the world. It is easy to know the effect on civilization caused by the defeat of the Persians by the Greeks at Marathon, the overthrow of Carthage by Rome, and the downfall of Rome at the hands of the barbarians of Central Europe. The historian has made a geometrical demonstration of each one. The historian will also give a demonstration of the present crisis for the benefit of readers and students of future generations. But how much more interesting it is for those living in a crisis to study it as they pass through it.
The Allied Powers; which beat the Germanic Powers down into the dust, are today facing Russia. With Germany out of the struggle up to this time, the conflict is really one between Europe and Asia. It is not the first time that there has been a critical struggle between Europe and Asia, but it is the first time that Europe has met the struggle in such a demoralized condition.
The present struggle is far more vital than the great war between the Allied Powers and the Germanic Powers. That war, in its final analysis, was a war for the control of world markets. The worst that can be said of Germany, after all, is that she was trying to do more of the same thing that England and France were already doing. But the conflict between Entente Europe and Russia is a conflict between two conceptions of all that is true conceptions that are diametrically opposed.
It is astonishing to see how the scene have settled in the past year. Twelve months ago Russia was an oncast, a pariah among the nations of the earth. She did not occupy even so favorable a place as Germany, for although Germany was still regarded as an enemy nation, she was, nevertheless, considered worthy to be dealt with. But Russia was not deemed worthy of any sort of contact with civilization, not even worthy of the place of an enemy nation. All of that is changed. The Entente is today dealing with Russia, and it seems that the final terms will be laid down by Russia. A year ago Western Europe pretended to be able to absolutely ignore the existence of Russia, today Russia has the control of European stability, and perhaps the stability of the world in her hands.
How has all of this come about? The simplest answer would be that Russia has finally met Western Europe at its own games and called the bluff. In fact, the Entente Allies are caught in their own net. After the armistice the recreated Poland was chosen as the means by which Bolshevism was to be held back from Europe. The role exactly fitted the imperialistic ambitions of the new Poland. Back of it was England who feared the influence of Bolshevism on her laboring classes and France who feared the loss of her Russian bonds of the Czarist regime.
Russia was invaded by the Poles. The war from its beginning was one of aggression pure and simple on the part of Poland. The temporary success of the Polish armie was hindered in Europe and the United States as a victory for civilization. Russia tried for peace, but it was denied her. At last the Russian hear turned on his pursuers, and turned in such fury that not only Poland but all Europe has not yet been able to stop him.
When Russia showed definitely that she had turned, and the impending disaster to the Polish ventures became visible, England and France became aware of what a wicked thing this war was. They held a conference and sent word to Russia that the war must cease. They commanded Russia to ask at once for an armistice. If the Russians have any sense of humor they must have laughed heartily at this; for the idea of telling a man who is beating another to ask for mercy is laughable. At any rate, Russia replied that if Poland wanted an armistice she could ask for it. England and France immediately stepped down and ordered Poland to do so. And England and France have been stepping down ever since.
What are the reasons for the backing down of England and France? Have these two powers backed-down because they are less interested in seeing the post war aims of Poland realized? Not at all. They have aided these aims, to the extent of their power; they can go no farther. They have sent munitions and supplies, but the Polish forces, are demoralized; what Poland needs is men. Millgrand blusters and Lloyd George takes on an attitude of conciliation, but both of them know that they have reached the end of the string; if men alone will save Poland, she will not be saved, because neither England nor France can supply that need. France because she cannot afford it, and England because she dare not oppose Labor. On August 6, a manifesto signed by practically every labor leader in Great Britain declared "Labor in this country will not cooperate in a war allied with Poland."
But even if England and France could raise and equip troops, what could they do with them? A glance at the new map of Europe will show that if Allied forces were ready to go to Ireland, there is
Baltic and down through Germany, or up through Austria and Czecho-Slovakia on the south. Germany is standing strictly on her neutral rights, and if the Allied forces should attempt to pass through German territory she would evidently raise a louder cry than was ever raised by Belgium. Indeed, she might follow the example of Belgium and resist. The southern route does not offer much more; Austria might be managed, but Czecho have very little love for the Poles and would not facilitate the transport of Allied troops for their aid.
There is only one other way in which the Entente Allies could give the Poles military assistance, and that would be through securing the cooperation of the Germans. Even if this could be done, the French would not be willing to agree to it, because Germany's price would be too high; it would be the entire nullification of the Versailles Treaty.
Among the Entente Allies, the stand of France is least to be commended, and that of Italy most. It is painful to those who love France because they have always thought of her as the leader of tolerance and liberty and humanity for the world to see the qualities she has exhibited since the war. Of course, there are some allowances to be made for her, but enough cannot be made to cover all she has said and done. On the Russian question, Italy has stood on higher ground than either England or France. On August 6, speaking of the Russian movement the Italian Foreign Minister said:
"Its death or its maintenance must depend solely upon itself. It must no be made a martyr. The more free are our relations with Russia the less will we be departing from our time-honored tradition. With that object in view we concluded an agreement with the Moscow Government for the admission of a Russian representative to Italy and an Italian representative to Russia to secure the development of the economic relations between the two countries.
"The Russian representative is now expected and we will do our best to facilitate his journey. He will enjoy the greatest hospitality in this country, but, of course, it is understood he in no way will interfere with our internal affairs."
"Whether the Russians favor it or whether they are merely putting up with it, the Soviet Government exists, and we cannot desire that Europe continue to live in assumed ignorance of Russia."
It looks as though Russia is going to win. For more than two years she has been a most humble suppliant at the feet of the Allies. Today it seems probable that she will soon gain a position as a dictator of Europe's fate. It is a great moment in history, and there is a fascination in the study of it.
IN THE NORTHERN STATES
The importance of the coming Presidential and Congressional elections is such that ever possible vote should be cast and counted. Especially is this true of the States of the North, where the elections are free and every voter is able to cast his ballot as his judgment may dictate. Every man and woman in these States who values the franchise, should qualify in the primaries and by the registration to play his or her part in determining the future policy of the nation for the next four years.
This duty not only applies to those who have long been voters in the North, but to those of the race who have newly come to this section, but whose term of residence now entitles them to become voters. Many of this class from the South, who complained that they were deprived of the suffrage in that section, will now have the opportunity to exercise it freely for the candidates of their choice. They should lose no time in preparing themselves to exercise this privilege, as their conduct in this particular will prove the sincerity of their protests against the suppression of the suffrage in the South.
No matter what the choice of the voter may be as to the ticket he votes for, he should embrace the opportunity to exercise the franchise, and he cannot do this intelligently, unless he qualifies himself by registration and securing full information as to the various candidates and their records.
Turt Acr believes that the interests of the country at large, as well as the race in particular, can best be served by the election of the Republican candidates. It would therefore recommend the members of the race to vote for that ticket. But at all events, they should qualify themselves and vote without fail.
Discussing the recent lynching of innocent Negroes by lawless mobs, in various sections of the country, the Atlanta Constitution recently advocated a law, which would automatically remove from office any sheriff in whose jurisdiction any lynching takes place. It added:
"And it would step lynching, because a mob is per se a coward, and its members ordinarily would scatter like scared rabbits at the first shot from a sheriff's resolver, and few, if any, of them would be willing to undertake a job of lynching knowing that the sheriff would inevitably be ousted from his office, as a consequence."
The Supreme Circle News, published at Albany, Ga., commended the Constitution for this splendid stand for law and order, and said.
"If the press of Georgia would in one voice dey lynching and mob violence, the records next year would show some other state in the lead, certainly not Georgia."
Unfortunately, too many of the white papers of Georgia devote too much of their space to stirring up strife between the race, and promoting the revival of the Ku Klux Rlan.
The Washington Bee instances as the result of so much segregation and discrimination against the colored citizens of Washington, the establishment of their own theatres, as follows:
"They have their own theatres—the Howard, the Poraker, the Hiwatha, the Mid-City and Dudley's You Street Theatre—and one is about to be erected and another in embryo in the square between Thirteenth and Bourdenth streets on You street northwest. It is to be one of the greatest theatres in the city. This enterprise is known as the Dudley-Murray United Theatre Corporation, known as the Douglas Theatre, with an authorized capital stock of $500,000."
Other means of amusement and diversion are said to be needed in the way of a dancing pavilion and park, as well as better steamboat accommodations. With the record already made in the theatrical field, rental enterprises may expand upon it in the future.
"I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America."
"I believe the Negro citizen of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices be blood on the battlefields of the blood have satisfied them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."
-Senator Harding's Speech of Acceptance, Marson, Ohio, July-22, 1920.
The Danville, Ky., Torchlight Indignantly refutes the idea that the good Republicans are all dead, in the following terms:
"When we notice the many fine things the Democrat press is saying of Lincoln, McKinney, Roosevelt, when we remember this, same press had nothing to say commendable of these great Republicans, we conclude the Democrat press thinks the only good Republican is the good Republican. The Republican party is not a party of the dead past, but it lives today in lives, with achievements of its living heroes, which guard zeaciously the rich heritage left us by whom them once they severely condemned, but now they delight to honor."
It now remains for these living heroes to justify the high opinion of their achievements voiced by our Kentucky contemporary.

Under the "caption of "The Place Where Lynchers Are Born," the editor of the Black Dispatch holds up, to the light, the judge of the police court of Oklahoma City, who washed his hands of a case, because he could see that the evidence warranted his finding a white reprobate for insulting and assaulting a most respectable black man, a minister of the gospel. The editor said:
"Now we had just as well face the truth. Here. is the shambles in which the mob and the jellish lyncher is born. The day when the white faced bounds who go out to torture and burn defenseless black men, know that they will be hunted down and meted out justice as they deserve, that day is the day that lynching will cease. The lyncher in the eminibre is the white boys on the street, the public places who show their disregard for the feelings and sensibilities of a black man or woman by offering insults. This representative of white superiority usually includes loaded gun and has his gang near if some self respecting black man with spirit happens to resent such treatment, trouble starts.
But that gang of white toughs know that when they are brought to the courts, there will always be a "Judge Munder" who will applaud their brutality and dismiss their cases."
One of the great needs of the south, as well as Oklahoma, is a uniform system of the administration of justice by the lower-counts, as well as the sheriffs and the police officials.
What the Portland, Ore., Adwatec considers "A Weak Spot," is pointed out in the following pithy paragraph:
White the colored people are exhausting their talents and energies squabbling and stewing about society, their churches and lodges, the white man is robbing them of their civil and political liberties. What the race must do, ever expects to get in hailing distance, the white race, is to pay more attention to business and politics and less attention to the grave, hell and heaven, for these things will surely come in time."
Business and politics seem to be getting a do share of attention just now in this latitude, but it must be admitted that there is always room for growth along these lines.
Between $125,000 and $150,000 is the amount estimated by the Winningson, Dial, Addison, that the various organizations of the Negro race will pay the stipends of the United States between June and September. It affords

The difference between the profiling
of a political candidate before election
and his conduct after gaining the
in is thus illustrated by the Baltimore
Communities.
"The present Mayor of the City of Baltimore, in his campaign in the office, went even into colored buildings, and with a show of generosity, appealed to the colored men to help him win the mayoralty, promising if elected, to know no such thing as "race or color" in the administration of the affairs of his office. He has most shamefully failed to keep the run. Let it be thoroughly understood at the onset, that ours is no quarrel with respect to "political jobs." Now grievance is of basic and fundamental importance. We charge that the Mayor has actually refused black men representation solely on the ground of their race and color.
Then contention of the Commissary that no rent should be given this class of offenders, until their conscience is aroused to their offending, is consistent. But what if they have no conscience?
Says the Oakland, Cal., Western Outlook:
"The Japanese leaders tell their people to go into the country, on the farm, this advice is good for the Oriental how much more forcible when applied to our race who are crowding the large cities of our country and segregated in unsanitary environments. We could well spare some of the population who could become benefactors of humanity by causing two blades of grass to grow where one grows now."
Sound advice, but hard of acceptance by those who fall victims to the lure of the cities.
Political prophecy is a mighty uncertain thing to invest in, but the Huntington, West Va., Times-American boldly says:
"Governor Cox will never get to the White House on a wet ticket, not a League of Nations without reservations. The record of the Democratic party in the war is too strong; we are not liking the Germans now, but we are still liking war stamps on every thing we buy. The people have not forgotten the monarchies on building cantonnets and powder kegs like Nitro and Chilihelium Oh, no! We have not forgotten and besides we need a different from Woodrow Wilson in ideas about the West Virginia will go along with others in the national election to make a Republican President."
This sounds too good to be true but we trust that West Virginia will justify the confidence exhibited by the editor of the Times—American.

A Thorough Race Paper
To the Editor of THE ACK.
I find that your most interesting part is widely read in the little city of Laski, up among the mountains of south west Virginia. It is such a tall race paper and gives so much of the grease of the race that I am able to have it read in every colored home town. (Mrs.) NANNIE C. HENY Pulaski, Va.
I read with much interest the last issue of the experiences made by Lester A. Walton while travelled to tween Asheville, N. C., and St. Louis. Walton says, Negroes are arriving troubles to the city, commissions the area before they actually in the South are the disfriended against Pullman men, and are times when even subjected dignities after securing Pullman men. A few weeks ago while riding Southern Railroad between Louis and Atlanta, the Pullman company raised the issue which put his delicate position. Three Y. M. G. workers had met get reservation at Louisville. They cured the drawing room and the lower berth.
When it was 12 o'clock that the three decided to go to jail for the Y" worker who had secured the lower asked theporter to fix he was told that the Pullman man had given instructions not to let go to sleep until all the white go to sleep to bed. The porter ordered that he was not in favor of emment but was under orders to the doctor. Although the Y" worker had talk with the conductor the Pullman presentative would not change his order. It was not until another counsel took charge a few hours later the berth was made ready for the passenger. At Atlanta the three workers took the matter with a lawyer, and said that the matter was settled in court. Now if foreigners can dress, through the United States environment, for mistreatment at the office employees, why can it even occur?
In The Realm of Music By Locien H. White Mme. E.A.Hackley Gives Some Comments on Negro Music
I am giving my column this week to a letter written to the Editor of the New York Age by Mma. K. Amalie Hackley, in which letter she gives voice to some incidental comments on the National Association of Negro Musicians; but more specifically does she refer to her own work in connection with the development of appreciation to the Negro Folk Song.
Whenever one is in agreement with Madame Hackley or not, certainly her ideas and opinions are always interesting. In this case, her letter is given without comment, since she goes so exhaustively into the subject.
Her reference to a situation in Detroit which shows an outcrop of race prejudice is surprising. I am anxious to hear further from Mrs Hackley concerning the outcome of the matter. It hardly seems possible that a public auditorium in Michigan would be devoted to the members of any particular race group, and especially after a contract has been entered into and obligations assumed in the strength of that contract.
The recent session of the National Association of Negro Musicians pitted to be interesting, and it is more than probable that time will prove its inclusiveness as well. A number of matters have developed since the commencement of the adjournment which the committee to comment, but they will put in a new nature opportunity.
"Musical America of August 7 provided an account of the session, written by thought by Cleveland G. Allen, who was by the magazine to Napa to Allen. This, of course, was a topographical error, and is going to be charitable enough to assume that the mass of improvisers and errors which filled the genre are also topographical and not blamed on Mr Allen. I would agree, however, though the suggestion was in the work of supererogation, that the work would be justified in favor of the privilege of cursive writing of his articles because allows them to go to press.

As for a painter, who would or would play Dot's Suite including "Juda" which Perry Granger is in new featurement? I have actually wrote out two copies from carrying them around for years with the vain hope that the music might be played frequently especially in the large clubs. No such luck! Now that white artists and white conservatory students are studying "In the Bottoms" Suke, we will be sure to hear and popularist "Juda", Hurray!
What a very sudden wave of Race Pride has lately developed among color musicians. It has come at last but at times it is positively pathetic instead of inspiring (as it should be) to note how many Negro Musicians of lace derive to "help the race!" Some of our leading musicians have at times acted as if they considered the Negro race mighty hucky to own such talented members. In two or three years of professional life, to some have come joists and the realization that after all the life of a Negro artist is not to be a bed of roses either artistically or financially. As the air canteens come tumbling down, and as some have grouped blindly for some new advertising stunt to "prop up" their professional representations and to keep up their expenses, you will now a-days hear this ever ready phrase about "helping the race and advancing Negro Music." Since Negro Music is being popularized and sold we must overlook and not question any motives not exactly altruistic. Long live Negro Music, no matter how it "gets there!"
The careers of some Negro musical artists have perhaps proven monotonous after a time. The majority of present day audiences are not up to present day standards of classical music. The disillusioned artists try one thing after another to show their popularity, and to obtain fresh manager and rose appreciation; they fall back on Negro Music to get excercises or a return engagement and racial support. (Dear old reliable Negro Music!)
Some have fancied that a European or even an African trip will add to greatness, reputation and exchequer. Negro artists speak of touring Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, when no one has ever heard of Caruso, Melba or any first class white artist performing such a feat! unless countries have a season of Grand Opera. It would take a life time to learn to present programs in the languages and dialects of each country, to say nothing of the necessary business arrangements in those slow-moving countries. Few white artists would dare to make such statements, for, the white musical public pulled outformers about how to appear. But given allowed public swallow all this down whole! The National Association of Negro Musicians may now correct all these erroneous ideas.
During my long illness, now a year, the letters still come about studying in Europe. Poor deluded children! Those of us who read the daily papers noted that one of America's greatest singers borrowed $20,000 with which to "start" her career. No one knows how much she borrowed later to complete this some career. A Negro musician may never hope to "arrive" with less expense than a white artist. There is so much to be learned in America, before wasting hard earned money in Europe. The recent war has changed things greatly and some of our most promising artists came to grief even before these new conditions. Negro musicians should not be encouraged to study abroad (unless some one wishes to see them squander perhaps thousands of dollars) without proper management, which of itself would run up into many thousands. It would be different if a music student went abroad in childhood and grew up in the foreign ways. The National Association can now advise these Europe-hungry music students, and save them from disaster.
And now comes a letter, "What are the prospects of a 'tour' in Japan?" As if I knew! Think of it! To sing to Japanese people in English, French and Italian, and besides they are not a singing people!
Some have possibly heard that I am planning a trip to Japan and have immediately concluded that I am going for professional work. If I go to Japan it will be for my health, to rest and to get far away from music.
However, from present indications it looks as if Fang Yu determined to keep me in the New Music harassment until the last moment in spite of ill health.
When I was in Paris there was a "so-called" Christian Scientist in our pension who had a humpy face which she claimed was caused by the sins of wicked Paris. I very believe that the "near" question has caused my nervous breakdown, and it looks as if the "color" question may not only prevent my trip to the Orient, but it may retard a probable health reunion.
When I applied last February to be a delegate to the World's Sunday School Convention to be held at Tokyo, Japan in October, everything was "nasty." Where I chose my name recently the agency in charge came me to pay $125 more than any white delegate when I knew some other lady of the race to occupy the upper berth of a two-bedroom apartment. I refused to pay more than any other delegate for the privilege of attending a convention of Christian groups in a country of returned people back to more stable times than they were in the past.

Isn't it fine that now we have the National Association of Negro Musicians to help our people to do things and to get things for respective communities. It has been a heavy burden for me all alone and it will be a heavy burden for the whole Association, unless I am greatly mistaken.
After all, it has been fascinating to make things come through and to achieve constant success everywhere even though it has been nerve racking. But as Poly, some says "it might have been worse than our circulation, anemia and nephritis. I agree with Polyana again when she says, 'you don't know how lovely hips are until you haven't any.' I am so glad that others are now active in advancing Negro Music (I'm so tired!) As I look over the list of officers and members of the National Association of Negro Musicians, I am wondering who will sacrifice the most for Negro Musical Uplift. Will it be he? Will it be she? I ask myself, as I scan the names. I can say from my own experience, that if each officer and member would devote just one month to some community for Musical uplift of some sort, that they would be surprised at the musical and financial results.
Wherever I may be, I will be so happy to know that the National Association of Negro Musicians is "on the job." Time alone will tell, but God speed its work.

The north side of West 135th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, is now almost entirely in the ownership of colored investors, and of the properties in question a majority of the transactions were handled by Fitzherbert Howell, formerly at 67-69 West 131st street, but now occupying his own building at 215 West 135th street.
Mr. Howell has handled the selling to colored investors of eight pieces of property in this block, at an average price of $25,000 each, or a total of $200,000. Nos. 215 and 221 have been purchased by his wife, Mrs. Ada Ainquim Howell, and the other purchasers were: 207, Dr. Frank Caffey of Montgomery, Ala.; 209, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent; 211, Pope Billings; 223, Mrs. Ada H. Thompson, wife of Alley-M. Thompson, the headwaiter; 227, Samuel H. Bright; 231, Captain Iosha Cockburn.
During the past year, Mr. Howell estimates that at least $1,000,000 in property values is represented by the transactions handled by his office. One of the largest individual sales was that of the Newcastle apartments 48-50 West 131st street, approximating $55,000. Among the private home sales handled by Mr. Howell are included the homes purchased by W. C. Handy, Harry H. Pace, Ford T. Dahney, Dr. Alexander Kellogg, Dr. Gertrude Curtis McPherson, Dr. Richard Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Allen, Alleen M. Thompson, Dr. Wm. E.

N.Y. WOMEN GET LETTER FROM SENATOR HARDING
The Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs at its session in Ithaca, N. Y., July 13 and 14, dressed a letter to be sent to Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican candidate for President, Mrs. Lora C.

My dear Mr. Harding:
The Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs in annual session at Ithaca, New York, July 13 and 14, 1920, adopted the following resolutions:

A FEW FACTS ABOUT CORONA
It has rapid transit connections to all parts of the city for Sc. The Interboro, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and all elevated lines. *Corona to Coney Island for Sc.* *Corona to any point on the subway, or the elevated lines to Greater New York for Sc.* *Corona is much nearer the Grand Central Station, Times Square, Pennsylvania Station, the theatrical district, and the shopping district of New York City than Harlem.*
Corona is nearer, the great downtown business section than Harlem or the Bronx. Corona has splendid schools, beautiful homes, and is an ideal place in which to live. Corona is fifteen minutes from the most rapidly growing section of New York City, namely, Long Island City. Here millions are being spent in large industrial plants. We have room in Corona for 10,000 live, wide-awake, progressive families. Land and homes in Corona to-day are much cheaper than in any section of Manhattan, but this will not be so long. Corona offers to-day the same opportunities Harlem offered twenty years ago.

DR J. H. BUGG DIED ON
HURTS TO OLD HOW
VISIT TO OLD HOMELY
Lynchburg, Va.—Dr. James H. Bongg,
for ten years a practising physician in
this city, died in Savannah, Ga., on
Thursday morning, August 5, after a
few hours illness. He had just reached
that city on a visit to his daughter,
the wife of Dr. C. C. Middleton, and death
came to him during his first night's
stay in his daughter's home.
Apparently in perfect health and in the best of spirits, he retired about 10 o'clock. A few minutes later he was sized with an attack which made him call his daughter. She called her husband, who worked with all his professional skills for several hours, finally calling in another physician. Before the second doctor could reach the bouke, the patient was dead.
Born in Angus, Ga, Dr. Bugg graduated from Lennard Medical at Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. He located in Savannah twenty-eight years ago, holding up a horticulture masters fellow being appointed as a city physician. He was at one time president of the Charray Hospital. While in Savannah he helped identify with the colored militia, serving as inspector of rifle practice and as captain of the Savannah Light Infantry.
He resigned as a Savannah city physician ten years ago and located in Lynchburg, to be near his family.
Dr. Bugg is survived by his widow, Mrs. Belle Bugg of Railroadh. N. C., two daughters, Mrs. C. C. Middleton of Savannah, and Miss Marguerite Bugg of Lynchburg, and two sons, Otis and Nelson Bugg of Lynchburg. The funeral services were held at his daughter's residence, 505 East Charlton street, Savannah, with interment in the family plot, city cemetery, Augusta, Ga.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.—Some ninety odd tennis players of more or less worth more than this town for the week beginning Saturday, August 7, to be bank or the beautiful courts of the Gormantown Branch of the Y. W. C. A. of the Chauquaqua Club Championships. This famous old Philadelphia tennis club was organized long before many of the entrants in its present tournament were born. It has kept abreast of the times and, with the exception of a few men, has promoted a large tournament each year. The Chauquaqua Tennis club has invariably adopted the policy of inviting every known tennis player in order to compete in their annual affair. And their yearly fixture has been annual except on Baltimoreians and Washingtonian programs. (In recent years have the Philadelphia's efforts at staging a tournament venued more than passing notice from New York racket wielders. Tis was written about by the agitation of Tau Ack which called the New York clubs' intention to their clubs to their players and to out of town clubs. The fact was learned by the paper that Californians should be able to send a man from that city of New York, and Washington, Baltimore and other eastern cities were sent on a half dozen of "more representatives, each, and yet New York's newest city of the world, should not have one representative in a nearby annual classic.
Mr. George W. Taylor, president of St. Marks Tennis Club of the West, shared the belief of the writer of the articles which appeared in the paper and made this known during a conversation at the close of last month. Mr. Taylor furthermore disclosed his intention to try and add to his strength during the off season of tennis. The result was, these women together and, resultant from their combined efforts, St. Marks increased coerence of lady players of any club in the East, foremost of Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Alston, Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Johnstone and Mrs. Smith. The popular club of the Rev. Dr. Brooks Church also has capable men in the famous Fred (One Arm) Johnson, Ted Hooks, Alexander, and promising less experience. The two first named make a doubles team, providing individual strength in singles.
Immediately upon the announcement of the Chautauqua tourney this year, St. Marks Tennis Club decided on sending down representatives. Entries were doubles, ladies singles and mixed doubles. The team's expenses were by the club, even incidentals being booked after.
St. Marks Tennis club on hearing it noised around that St. Marks Club was to do the same for their members. Members of some clubs were up to the mark, are down at their own expense. In all about St. Marks clubs are represented in the large batch of players from various towns in Slow Town.

Strange, a native Philadelphia who plays for the Ideal Tennis Club, New York, wom his matches 0-0, 0-0. Hooks beat partner to Strange 8-0, 0-1.
Saint of the Ideal Tennis Club, New York, is having about the number of the New Yorkers who made the trip here. He is already playing but one day. His two opponents were put away respectively. Saitch's entry was refused in the Senior had entered in the junior.
Johnson has not played his first round yet. It is reported that same and saw him play and asked for more time to practice and in the bracket with Tally Holmes and Dr. Walker of Baltimore is not taking part in this tourney even though he Neither he nor Harold Freeman could get here in time from where they were last heard from. They are to be in New York next Tuesday in everything except mixed doubles. There are no event that it is almost confirmed to New Yorkers. It looks like Mrs. Wade and Johnson and Spencer and Mrs. Madison.

Columbia Cubs Win Again
Last Sunday at Van Cortlandt Park the public saw a game between the Columbia Cubs, and amateur colored baseball team, and the Guzmona Giants, a white team, and declared in general that it was a game which outrailed some professional ball games.
The Columbia Cubs won with the real and pep that goes with clean ball. The batteries for the Columbia Cubs were the second set, 9-4 were (Jake) Hines and (Kid) McCormick and for the Buzmona Giants (Happy) pitches, and Triber, catches. The umbrellas were Holmes and O'Neil Holmes, a modest colored gentleman, surprised the public with his umpiring, this being his first time in the presence of such a crowd this season.
Some of the most stupendous and thrilling episodes, captured during the game were. In the 4th inning the Burzonia Giants had the bases full and the most feated player on their side was advancing to bat. Kid (Jasper) went to his left pocket and took one good bite of chocolate colored gum, slowly wound up and sent one of his famous balls across the plate, the name of which was the Subway Glide. He succeeded in putting this man out and the next. But the next happened to be the Burzonia pitcher, Happi, and he hit the second ball scoring only two men. This might have been averted hadn't one of Columbia's men thought it a tool ball. Next in the 5th inning Dandy (Dude) Parker of Columbia Cubs cracked first inning and enact a couple play all by his lonesome and early succeeded. This is how it happened. Happi the Burzonia pitchier fired a ball to test base with a man on first Parker of course caught the ball puttunk out Happi, and jumped around like a flash and touched the sack but was a trifle late to catch Burzonia's pitch.
As the 51st inning progressed the Columbia Cubs succeeded in filling the bases. Neal of the Columbia Cubs are approached to bat with all the confidence of a true sportsman. He swung the mighty club for a three base but bringing in four and coming in himself on the fuzziness Giants' third baseman's pitch. The Columbia Cubs will play the Yorkers. Tigers will Sunday on the Yorkers. Tigers will
Hilldale Beats Bears
Derby, Pa., Paul Flournay was deserving of a shoutout against the New York team traveling as "Self" "Bears" and managed to be for the team in the finals, where they were neither when Hillelite entertained them at the local hotel and decorated them with
Jeremy Bear started the clawing in the last frame attempting to hit him naming at first three people to Alley and the hall went down the right hold told him and Brown raised around to third Hunter shoved to Bruges, mis short centre but Brown could not get home. Flournoy had trouble with Kline and walked him. He reached second on the next pitch, while King famed to the second out Sampson then trapped Kline off second and Downs receiving the throw, followed him toward third base until Brown, who was occupying that station, hit out on the home station. He was raked back and forth until the Hilldale team was about him doing a war dance that resulted finally in Brown getting back safely to third and Kline to second. Piage was "Johnnie on the spot" and hit safely to centre field scoring his teammates on the paths for what proved to be their only salaries of the game.
Both the twirlers seemed to have plenty of "stuff" and were not backward in displaying their wares. The fifth frame had rolled, around before Hilldale not x search in the hit column, then Brigel drove one down to the scoreboard and stopped at third, but was sent back to second by Yarrell owing to a field rule entailing the runners only two bases on balls, bit into the crowd that encroached on the playing field. His hit went to waste, for Francis drive to right was taken by Kelly, who made a second double of Brigel, Hilldale starred the runners in the next inning after Allen had find out to Hunter. Santep hurryly pursued walked. Cason bit one among the trees in left field far over the heads of the crowd and was given two bases for his effort with the pole. White had down a bunt at "Top" raced home, and Cason rested on third Johnson hit to Brown and Cason was thrown out at the plate. White moving up in the third station. Downs singled through short and Whist counted. Flourney ended the inning, with a tan to Brown and put, the trains on an even basis. Brigel outed the seventh with his second two bagger of the afternoon, and Francis sewed the game up with a neat drive down the right field foot line, sending Brigel across with the last tally of the game.

A. A. U. 'Discrimination is Brought Home to Committee Colored Athletes Slighted, Now Whites on Board Ship are Complaining About Traveling Accommodations
By John Brouson
According to a wireless from the transport Princess Matoika on August 7, the Olympic athletes aboard ship held an indignation meeting, openly rebelling against the Olympic Committee for the unsanitary condition of quarters and food with which they were provided. The athletes drew up resolutions requesting not only better accommodations for the return trip but proper quarters and food while in Antwerp.
In their charges the team absolves the navy officials of all blame for the poor facilities and places the responsibility squarely up to the Olympic Committee, even naming the most prominent members of the committee as being to blame.
It is a fitting climax that this Olympic Committee should now receive the re- bakes of the ment that they saw fit to choose, even to the point of discrimination, appeared on such a document to represent this country at Antwerp. It is problematic what effect this dis- erp. To our knowledge the team will have on the performances of the ment they were during the games. They may Pace Matoika and we would be well- forget it when their natural sporting ing to wager that not one of them spirit is arused through competition, but signed the resolutions condemning the that bodies may have already surreptitious Olympic committee.
We wonder if Roberts, Dandrew and McEacherd: the weight men poked instead of Anderson, or if White, Organs, Weber, etc., who were given preference over little Clifton Mitchell on the match team, were signets of the resolution? We venture to say that if Anderson and Mitchell had been members of

It is problematical what effect this disturbance will have on the performances of the men during the games. They may forget to when their manual sporting equipment had already competed but their bodies may have already suffered to the extent, physically, that they will be deprived of their best efforts.
It this should prove the case, the Olympic Committee will have received in some measure reward for the unintended discriminating methods they were involved in selecting the team and to which colored athletes adherents still are bitter in their criticism.

GREAT WORK BY WOMEN'S POLICE RESERVES CORPS.
Captain Clara M. Harris and her Women's Police Reserves, Company A, 38th Precinct, in a report submitted for the six months from January 1 to June 30, 1920, shows a large area of activities and, the accomplishment of many needed reforms. The women of the Reserves give attention not only to regular police work but to welfare and social work, as well. Because of the confidential nature of the report submitted to the Commanding Officer, Police Reserves, it is impossible to specify particularly as to the accomplishments of the members, but their work has embraced a range of efforts from rescuing young girls from designing assemblies to seeing that back yards are kept clean. They have engaged also in charitable work, helping various institutions and securing aid for individual families. The Big Sisters movement has also engaged attention, some of the Reserves taking active duty with that organization.
Captain Harris has been fortunate in having a splendid set of women associated in the work, and the delinquents have been taw and tar between. The latest available roster shows the following membership: Captain Clara M. Harris; First Lieutenant W. C. Williams; Second Lieutenant A. M. Jones; Sergeants F. Hortense Teller, Ella Carne, Lancille Ward; Corporals Rosa Hall, Elizabeth Mayfield, M. P. Summons, A. L. Hicks, A. Gholston Day, Chaplain Montgomery Jones

NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
The Bethel Church Affair
To the Editor of The Ava.
I regret very much that I am compelled to reply to an article which appeared in Titus New York. Am dated August 7, 1920, under the caption of "The Bethel Church Affair." I have tried to keep our side of the case out of the newspapers and out of the courts for the reason that the New Testament provides that a Church of God "should not go before the unjust before taking their matter to the saints." The article referred to says in the 2nd paragraph, among other things, "We also condemn the means, and methods of Counselor F. F. Gales, who, while acting as adviser and attorney for the dissatisfied action on the church, is a preacher and member of the New York Conference and should not have led them in rebellion."
I beg to say in reply to the same that I did not lead the Church in rebellion, nor am I adviser to the church, but I have been retained by the trustees of the Bethel A. M. E. Church to defend or represent the said trustee in the following proceedings, which were brought against the said corporation in violation of the Dishcipline of the A.M. E. Church and the law of the land, which laws provide that before going to the civil courts a person should exhaust his remedy within his own church, but notwithstanding this provision of the law, Bishop William H. Heard and Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, through their attorney, John L. Mitchell, brought the

following proceeding, against the said corporation, viz:
1. The People of the State of New York, on the relation of Montréal W, Thornton, Plaintiff, vs. H. T. Sheppard, et al., as a Board of Trustees of Bethel A, M. E. Church.
2. The People of the State of New York in relation of Addison Scarborough, et vs. Bethel A, M. E. Church, Inc, and H. T. Sheppard, et al., as a Board of Trustees of Bethel A, M. E. Church.
3. In the matter of application of Montrose W, Thornton against the First A, M. E. Bethel Church, H. T. Sheppard, et al.
4. First A, M. E. Bethel Church and Henry H. Dennis, et al., against Hannibal T. Sheppard, et al., as a Board of Trustees of the First A, M. E. Bethel Church, Inc.
The readers of The Age will see that neither the corporation or the trustees or myself as attorney did take the matter to the civil courts to have the case herein litigated, but the corporation as represented by the trustees had no other alternative except to defend the proceedings heretofore stated, or judgment would be taken by default for the failure of the church to defend the proceedings herein.
Bishop William H. Hegard, the presiding bishop of the district, tried to retain me as his attorney to bribe the church into court without first demanding the trustees to open the church, or to exhaust his remedy within the church as the Rules and Regulations of the A. M. E. Church and the law of the land provide.
I beg still further to say to the clergy-men who signed the article dated August 7, 1920, in THE NEW YORK AGE, the last five lites in which they say, "We also condemn the means and methods of Counsellor F. F. Giles, who while acting as advisor and attorney for the unsatisfied faction in the church, is preacher and members of the New York Conference, and should not have led them in rebellion."
This statement seems to be made with malicious intent, and is libelous per so as tending to injure me in my profession, and a further reason, that it is not based upon the facts of this case, which the signer of this article well know.
Therefore, I insist that the clergymen retract the statement that I should not have led them in rebellion. I suggest that the clergymen whose names were signed to the article heretofore stated advise that this whole matter be kept out of the courts and out of the newspapers and that the reputation of the persons at issue be washed in the church, and not in the courts and the newspapers. You can hang me, but you cannot hang the truth.

The information that is gathered by this paper can be considered as being reliable. How can we hope to succeed by allowing someone else to use our money when we ourselves are in need of it?

This building will show a gross rental of $35,000 per year and a net income of about $15,000 per year. If the people will support us in the great tight we are making we will soon change the housing conditions in New York City.
