Self-respect a Precious Possession.
The letter of regret: from Senator Wadsworth addressed to Charles W. Anderson at the Republican National Committee, was a strong indictment of the men and the laws responsible for the humiliation of and discrimination against a weaker element of currency by the stronger class. He declared self-respect to be a more precious possession and the man or group of men who rob human beings of their self-respect were characterized as being guilty of the manacr cruelty. The letter is as follows.
My dear Mr. Anderson:
To my great regret I cannot attend the Convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows on September 18th. An engagement to be present at the Reunion of the 27th Division at Saratoga Springs on that same day prevents I am taking this opportunity, however, of telling you how I feel about some things which I imagine, at interest to the delegates to the Convention and their friends.
The most precious thing a human being can possess is self-respect. No matter how low or how high a man's position in life may lie, he cannot be happy if he does not possess this treasure. That man or group of men or that law that robs human beings (continued on Second Page)

tober 16—Boa
Electors of New York state, under a constitutional amendment, can vote in the running election even though they are all out from their polling places on election day. There are certain provisions of the law, however, which are imperative, and those anxious to get their ballots in this manner must be first of all that they are registered.
This will be the first year of this change in the election system, and it is important that those who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity shall strictly obey the provisions of the statute.
As a matter of fact, to qualify as an absentee voter, personal registration applies to all political subdivisions this year, whether small or large. Residents of communities of less than five thousand and inhabitants, where the polling lists are copied, and where voters are not ordinarily compelled to register in person, must the same as these residing in cities, see that their names are placed on the registry on one of the days as aside for that purpose. If the name is not there he ballot will no be accepted.
Apply to County Board of Elections
To guard against abuses the voter who expects to be away on election day must make application to the county board of elections, and the affidavit must be in the hands of the board of elections, either mailed or delivered, by October 10. The application must show that the applicant is a legal voter and that he or she will be unavoidably absent. The nature of the applicant's business must be given and it must be determined that the application is made in good faith before the board of election will agree that the applicant is entitled to vote or, before it will provide the special ballot and official envelope.

A New New
This being done the voter must mark his or her ballot the same as at home and either mail or deliver so that it will be in possession of the board of elections not later than noon October 29, if it is received later it will not be counted.
The point to remember in this important change is that no voter who expects to be away on election day can vote unless he or she is registered and the name must be on the registry whether a resident of a hamlet or city. This provision is extremely important, to smaller places as well as cities, for without obedience to it the absentee will not be eligible to vote in the manner prescribed.
NEW ORLEANS PYTHIANS
TO WELCOME HAWKINS
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACA)
New Orleans, La.-W. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore, Md., supreme chancellor, Knights of Pythias, E. & W. H., is expected here this month for the purpose of initiating seven candidates into the Irish order who are coming from Brazil, South America, for that purpose.
New Orleans Pythians are making extensive preparations for the reception of the supreme chancellor, their plans including a special committee to meet him at the depot and a band of music to escort him to the hotel. The arrangements are being perfected by McGinnis Lodge, No. 1, and many of the city's race leaders are invited to act on the reception committee.
Supreme Chancellor Hawkins will make two speeches while in the city. Additional interest is created in his visit by reason of the fact that he a candidate for the United States Senate from Maryland. He is a practicing attorney at law.
THE RESULT IN MADE
(Special to The New York Am.) Augusta, Mc.--By a vote larger than was ever before capt in the state the Republican ticket, headed by Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst for governor, was literally swept into office. The Republican state ticket, four Congressmen and the entire state senate, are elected, the pluralities reaching the enormous and hitherto unheard of figures for Mainy, of 65,000. In the House of Representatives the Republicans elect 138 members out of 151, cutting the Democrats from 41 to 13.
BLUE CIRCLE CONDUCTS
HEALTH RELIEF WORK
Miss Tessie Hawes, who recently finished the postgraduate course at Lincoln Hospital, was immediately sent by The Circle as its community nurse to Palatka, Florida. New York Circle friends who visited Mother A. M. E. Zion Church on Sunday, July 18, and contributed so generously and readily to the work, and who also had a chance to see Miss Hawes, will be glad to hear that she was received cordially down in Florida by both the colored and white people. Miss Hawes has visited every home in and around Palatka where there is illness. A community nurse in that section is a new thing and consequently is the talk of the town. The local physicians are cooperating splendidly and the hospital which the citizens are erecting will soon be completed.
Miss Betty Davis, executive secretary of The Circle, has kept steadily at work all summer with not a day's vacation and the result is that things are beginning to hum for The Circle. Letters of inquiry are coming in daily in regard to the new program of national health work. No better movement could have been started anywhere than that of increasing the colored people's health efficiency, and every colored person in the United States could help support this movement. Your community may be provided with public health nurses but there are hundreds of other communities that are not and there are thousands of sick colored people who are not in financial circumstances to have the proper care.

Immediate Action Needed to Arouse Negro Vote in West Age Correspondent Finds That Newcomers in Middle West Are Apathetic As Regards Using Right to Vote
(Special to The New York Acc.)
Chicago, III.—Notwithstanding the extensive publicity given the Presidential campaign and the opening of headquarters here for the colored Republicans, it is an undeniable fact that the new Negro voter of the Middle West is not being reached. The Negro, lately up from the South, is looking upon political matters with apathy and indifference. He is interested, it appears, solely and simply in the industrial situation and hardly realizes that now he is in position to exercise that long-wanted and muchly-coveted boon—the right to vote.

It is possible that his apathetic state is due to the fact that he has been, for so long a period, deprived of the suffrage. But it is believed by close students of the Negro migrant that he needs only to be awakened to the opportunity which is now open to him. And this the political managers, local and national, seems to be neglecting.
An urgent necessity, it is urged by certain far-sighted students of political situations, exists for immediate action on part of those in control of the campaign towards creating an interest among these members in an interest among their eligibility to vote. This will undermine their ability to vote. This will arouse, but they really mean a large accretion to the regular Republican vote of the Middle West, as these men, without exception, will retain their allegiance to the G. O. P.
It would be a wise step if the party's various committee heads were to start immediately a plan by which information to the register and vote could be supplied to them. All they need is to be aroused, but they need to be done without delay.

In connection with this phase of the
Know Only Republics Party
An Ace, correspondent circulating among these men and questioning here and there, found that they know only the Republican party, and any thought of the Democratic party is allied with their memories of prejudice, prejudice and prescription, the condition which led to their becoming migrants. These prospective voters are, therefore, Republican material, and it is entirely up to the managers of the campaign as to whether this enormous bulk is added to the party's weight in the November election.
This Ace correspondent has talked to many of these men and they are alike in expressing faith in Handing and Coulson. But they are also indifferent and lowermost as to quantifying themselves for the franchise, and they are ignorant as to what steps are necessary to be taken.
Tells Colored Baptists That Race Has Met the Test and Promises That America Will Not Fail in Its Duty
Marion, Ohio.—In praising the patriotism of the American Negro which making an impressive speech to a delegation of colored people here on September 11, Senator Warren G. Harding reviewed the achievements of the campaign country, commenting upon its industry and disposition toward religion. Heferred to the fact that 340,000 American Negroes participated in the war with only one draft dodger in the lot.
Senator Harding closed with this especial phrase: "If I have to do with it there shall be good American objection to law. Brave, unshackled and whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans."
"Fear not. Here upon this beloved will you shall have just reason that every man and woman of us known would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God have earned it, and America will bestow it."
Senator and Mrs. Harding as hosts of the gathering, were assisted by General John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force during the war. Gen. Pershing had called on the Hardings on Thursday and remained over Friday especially to meet and speak to the colored delegations Representatives were also present from the A. M. E. Church, the M. E. Church and the National Equal Rights League.
Five-hundred Negroes, mostly Baptists, both North and South, listened to Senator Harding's assurance that if elected President of the United States he would see that the race was given fair play. Senator Harding pressed the enthusiasm of his callers when he declared that the Negro had not failed America and assured them that America will not fail the American Negro.
General Pershing was given a rousing response when he declared that without the support of the Negro soldier the war victory would never have been won as early as it was.

In connection with this phase of the situation, Ting Ace correspondent met a man of considerable prominence and distinction who formerly lived in the South. He now lives in Chicago but certain connections still exist which make it necessary for him to return at intervals to his old southern home. He was asked to write an article for Ting Ace, giving some reasons why Negroes should vote for Harding and Coolidge, as such a statement would have considerable weight with his fellow migrants from the South. He replied as follows: "Your very kind invitation to write an article for Ting Ace on "Why Negroes should vote for Harding and Coolidge," is before me. It is a great temptation to me to do so and nothing would please me better than to swat" the Democratic party; but I would have to pay my respects to the red-mocked southern oligarchy which has been running this government for the last seven, miserable years and encouraging the lynching and burning of my people in the South as a side issue if I did write the article. I would have to be in the city of Atlanta if I did not have to be in the city of Jackson. I fear I could not get away alive from down there after they send my article. So I will have to forgive the mistreatment of "umming" them this time for old friends.

The program or speaking was begun with a solemn invocation offered by the Rev. A. D. Roomson of Philadelphia.
William H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant United States Attorney General, made the principal speech to the delegations.
Mr. Lewis can make a good speech are demonstrated it. He told the Senate that the coloured people quite understand that the road to the White House this year leads through Ohio, but through Marion, not Dayton. He said the inspiration for the visit was the desire to the part of the Negro race in America to renew its plaques of fidelity and devotion to the political party of its father. He said the Negroes of America all just as confident of being as well received by President Harting as they were being handsomely welcomed in Candidate Harting.
Victims of Malevolent Persecution
And he added, with a touch of anligious ardor:
"Of all the pilgrims who shall come to your front door none will come will more anxious hearts and more fervent braver than the group representation twelve millions of your colored fellow citizens. Other groups may have been affected by the lack of capacity, the inefficiency and the extravagance of the present Administration, but we have suffered from its indifference, its malevolence and its persecution. We have been the victims of the group Administration far more than any other class of citizens, eliminated from participation in government, segregated the civil service and denied the major protection of law."
Lewis gave the positive assurance that the Negroes of the United States have no need for the League of Nations, "for said, Lack you cannot around the Constitution by virtue of change the form of government. We used methods of administration. We were thrilled by your pronouncement that you would never empower an Assistant to retary of the Navy to write a constitution for a sister republic. What kind of a League of Nations would you have with the smaller republics held as visual state? What we need is a legacy of humanity founded upon the Golden Rule."
The 'Negro leaders appealed
Senator Harding to make democratic

"For we have more to gain by tl success of the party this year and mo

Premises Justice to Negroes.
In replying Senator Harding told the visitors straightway that if elected I would see that they got justice at equal opportunities.
He reviewed the achievements of race in this country, commending up their industry, their disposition towards religion and their government, and making especially that the American Nixon invested one dollar out of every they presented for Liberty bushes, a that 300,000 Negroes were in the arm with only one dollar designer in the arm. In his speech the candidate said:

TO NEW JERSEY VOTERS.
To vote in the election on November 2, 1920, you are required to vote in the primary on September 28. If you do not vote in the primary on that date you cannot vote in the presidential election. Your duty is to qualify.
TRYING TO FOOL VOTERS.
Symptoms of the insidious propaganda conducted under Socialistic auspices by certain visionaries, as well as others not so visionary but who find it a profitable sector, have clipped out there and there among our people. A few worthy citizens who do not seem to comprehend the destructive nature of the socialistic doctrines that they lend a willing ear to, profess to see in them an opportunity for benefitting the New Illumination this delusion to their brains they are inclined to vote the Socialistic vote.
The Socialist definition, as we shall enunciate, is show by a record of facts. The constitution of the Socialist Party for the Presidency is Figure A. Debt who was dissolved and owed an owe under Federal law and is now present in a Federal bill. No matter how far the part was his record on the tax question, Mr. Debt is ineligible as a candidate for the Presidency and every vote easy for him is a vote thrown away. We therefore cannot advise man or woman of the vote to vote for Mr. Debs.
The pressing need of this campaign is to oust the Democratic administration from power and put an end to the abuses that it has fostered in the government for the past seven years. No group of people in this country has suffered more from the abuse of power by the Democrats than the Negroes. And this abuse has even extended to such a friendly black republic as Haiti, where United States marines, under the direction of Democratic officials, have subverted its liberties and instituted a reign of terror and violence.
The only hope for putting an end to this abuse of power by the Democrats is by electing a Republican President and a Republican Congress. No other party stands a ghost of a chance of defeating the present administration at the polls. All this talk about the beauties of Socialism and the possibility of putting Debs in the White House is mimeology, and if acted upon by any considerable number of misguided voters can only serve to help the Democratic ticket.
Socialistic propaganda prosecuted among Negroes is only intended to draw votes from the Republican ticket and in this way help the Democratic ticket. No voters of the race should be fooled by the guilleless visionary or the specious pleader, who dilate upon the advantages that Socialism may offer for the race. Too often the hidden hand of Democracy is pulling the strings that move these puppet propagandists. Where Socialism ceases to be visionary and indefinite in its purposes and professions it takes on the tinge of Kristeism and the silversion of all established government in favor of the rule of the proletariat. This is on a par with the rule of mob and lynch law, as it obtains in the South. Whatever may be the faults of established government in the United States, no person in his same senses would replace it by the rule of the mob.
Socialistic propaganda addressed to Negroes is either pure moonshine on Democratic trickery. You can pay your money and take your choice, but either way you are bound to be fooled. No white voter should be fooled by an unrepresent a Democratic device as the prosecution of socialism to Negroes in the United States.
BASIS OF CITIZENSHIP.
In his address to the delegation of Negroes that called upon him at Marion last week, Senator Harding had something to say about citizenship that deserves serious attention by all-thinking voters. The Republican candidate for the Presidency emphasized the fact that "citizenship is not based upon what one can get but what one gives." He continued:
"I say, and I wish that I could speak through you to all Americans, 'let's serve.'
"Under that slogan of good citizenship there is no reason why you should not hold your heads up high. You and your race in America have the good sense to know that it is only in a country where merit, capacity and worth are recognized that merit, capacity and worth are developed. You and I know, and good Americans, of whatever color, blood or creed know that the aspiration of all men is equal opportunity, and that no injustice known to man can be greater than that of the tyranny and autocracy that labels itself democracy, or Bolshevism or proletariat, and enslaves all men and their ambition and their freedom with the iron hand of medicium. The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America.
"I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro."
Mr. Harding justly conceded that the Negroes of America have fully qualified for the test of citizenship by service to the country. The race rendered untold and unrequited service while in bondage, added to which came its military service in every war in which the nation has engaged. Since emancipation and the concession of citizenship this service has been none the less in degree, though voluntarily performed.
The pledge of equal opportunity for the race is the answer to the demand for all the rights of citizenship that constitute the burden of the longings and aspirations of the race. Service has been given by the race in full measure to running over. In return the race demands the opportunities afforded other classes of citizens to the full protection of the laws, the franchise, and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Accepting the basis of citizenship laid down by Senator Harding with assistance as the test, the Negro has qualified for his title, and should now be invested with the full stature of American citizenship in all sections of the country. The recognition of this fact by the Republican candidate, together with his pledge that he will, if elected, be a Constitutional President, constitutes the strongest argument for his election. The country needs a President who recognizes the true basis of citizenship and is willing to be guided in his policy by the constitution. It is up to the Negroes to signify their endorsement of these sentiments by adding in the election of Harding and Coulidge.
THE TIDE OF OPPORTUNITY.
Mr. George W. Blount of Persmouth, Va., very apparently calls attention to the tab of opportunity for those on the race who would engage in business life at the present time. He truly says that this never was a time in the history of our country when the demand for trained Negro business men and women was so great as it is today. This Age has taken occasion to emphasize the coming of this demand from time to time, and has urged the necessity of preparation on the part for the youth of the race to meet it.
While the necessary training to fill the positions now opening in the many new enterprises started may be acquired by the slow and painful road of experience a more rapid method is required at present. This is to be found in the commercial and business courses offered by many of the schools and colleges. The technical knowledge required in the office and factory may be acquired in a few terms by the diligent student, who will be able to put this training to practical use in the business world.
Courses in Shortland, appointing bookkeeping and accounting can be pursued at most of the commercial high schools in the great cities, both day and evening. For those inclined to pursue the trades or mechanics, which at present are offering bigger money, there are courses in carpentry, electricity, and other manual occupations, which require training of the hand as well as the brain. The young man or woman who is ambitious to enter the business world equipped for success has only to embrace the opportunities offered for preparation and devote the time and attention requisite to improve them. It is no longer necessary for the young man or woman entering business life to blunder along his way, acquiring his knowledge of his craft through the painful school of experience. At a reasonable outlay of time and effort, he can become fairly equipped for the vocation he desires to follow, and avoid many of the blunders due to ignorance and inexperience.
Many a promising business venture founded upon the rocks of ignorance and inexperience in the ways of the commercial world. Avoid these danger shoals by acquiring the technical knowledge which will fit you to cope with the demands of the business world. Preparedness is the first step to success.
The Chicago 'Whip' divides the peoples of the world today into two classes, those that are interested in "getting ahead," and those who are satisfied merely "to get by." Needless to say, those who are content merely "to get by" never "get ahead." The moral is: Hitch your wagon to a sure even if you risk an upset now and
CLOUDING THE ISSUE.
Noror Cox is at present raising a great hue and the campaign fund the Republicans are support. This outbreak of righteous indignation is new, a fool nobody except the political yoked. Nobody except hypocrites and fools will pay attention and recriminations about campaign fund that either party will be glad to get and use a honey and effective political campaigns go to up of hands in holy horror at the thought of actuated by something besides moral indignation the present instance it is an attempt to cloud the trick of the magician who attracts your attention while he extracts the rabbit from under his skink about the League of Nations falls in this way is the people are very little concerned about. And that is one reason why the politicizing it. By so doing they take the peoples' that they are vitally interested in things that the people want to hear discussed politicians are silent are: the high cost of living, being shortage, and all the attendant social unriversal issues.
Governor Cox is at present raising a great hue and cry about the size of the campaign fund the Republicans are supposed to be gathering. This outbreak of righteous indignation is next to amusing, and will fool nobody except the political yoked.
Nobody except hypocrites and fools will pay any attention to criminations and recriminations about campaign funds. Everybody knows that either party will be glad to get and use all the money it can. Money and effective political campaigns go together; so the holding up of hands in holy horror at the thought of money in politics is actuated by something besides moral indignation.
In the present instance it is an attempt to cloud the vital issues. It is the trick of the magician who attracts your attention to something else while he extracts the rabbit from under his coat tails.
Talk about the League of Nations falls in this same category. The truth is the people are very little concerned about the League of Nations. And that is one reason why the politicians keep on discussing it. By so doing they take the peoples' minds off the things that they are vitally interested in.
The things that the people want to hear discussed and on which the politicians are silent are: the high cost of living, high taxation, the housing shortage, and all the attendant social unrest. These are the real issues.
THE COLORED WOMAN VOTER.
have more than once stated in these columns that women will be less easily intimidated and be voting than the colored men have been. "All along by the opponents of Suffrage, especially Senator John Sharp Williams said on the "Negro women will not be as easily handled as women." As courageous and determined, the colored cannot succeed even as voters unless they information and knowledge. They should begin to learn all the preliminary steps to voting and practice of marking a ballot. To this end, they should be formed in every community. The groups classes ought not to be too large. The persons who already have a knowledge of the machine and politics should get together and begin to careful attention should be given to each section. Every study classes should rotate from church to hall and from home to home. Every group possibly be reached should be brought into the community to make quite interesting if the leaders were themselves. The classes might open with minute talks on the structure of our government up through county and state to the national talks on the machinery of politics from that out of the national convention. However, the B.C. ought to avoid any temptation to display how out these subjects; rather should they strive to say as simple and understandable as ported down to the A. B. C. of it. There should come painstaking instruction in and qualifications for voting in the community and regarding registration and the places for working a ballot and the proper polling place could be given. May be that those who would like to begin and trained above do not feel that they possess the and information to do it as well as it should. Such may be easily supplied. The National Suffrage Association began the publication of course in "The Woman Citizen" in the issue of this lesson is followed by an amplification of angrant of lectures delivered before the School, conducted under the direction of Mrs. W. State laws vary; partly customary and nage states. In these lessons will be found the laws for each state. "The Woman Citizen" in New York City. New York League for Women Voters has a course of study for groups, each lesson being on the subject treated. These lessons are not none the less extremely interesting. The following topics:
We have more than once stated in these columns our belief that the colored women will be less easily intimidated and kept out of the right of voting than the colored men have been. This has been realized all along by the opponents of Suffrage, especially those in the South. Senator John Sharp Williams said on the floor of the Senate, "Negro women will not be as easily handled as Negro men have been."
But as courageors and determine the colored women may be, they cannot succeed even as voters unless they have the necessary information and knowledge. They should begin everywhere at once to learn all the preliminary steps to voting and to get the actual practice of marking a ballot. To this end study classes ought to be formed in every community. The groups that make up these classes ought not to be too large. The persons in each community who already have a knowledge of the machinery of government and politics should get together and begin to organize these groups.
Careful attention should be given to each section of the city on the county. The study classes should notote from church to church, from hall to hall and from home. Every colored woman who can possibly be reached should be brought into these classes. The work can be made quite interesting if the leaders will thoroughly prepare themselves. The classes might open with twenty to thirty-minute talks on the structure of our government, from the town on up through county and state to the national. There should also be talks on the machinery of politics from that of the precinct up to that of the national convention. However, the leaders of the classes ought to avoid any temptation to display how much they know about these subjects; rather should they strive to make everything they say as simple and understandable as possible. They should getdown to the A. B. C. of it.
Then there should come painstaking instruction in the requirements and qualifications for voting in the community and the state. Information regarding registration and the places for registration, about marking a ballot and the proper polling place at which to vote should be given.
It may be that those who would like to begin and carry out the work outlined above do not feel that they possess the requisite knowledge and information to do it as well as it should be done. Any such lack may be easily supplied. The National American Woman's Suffrage Association began the publication of a comprehensive course in "The Woman Citizen" in the issue of April 3, 1920. Each lesson is followed by an amplification of the subject from the program of lectures delivered before the School for Political Education, conducted under the direction of Mrs. Verrie Chapman Catt. State laws vary; party customs and usage vary in the different states. In these lessons will be found the laws and political usage for each state. "The Woman Citizen" is published monthly in New York City.
The New York League for Women Voters has also issued a splendid course of study for groups, each lesson being prepared by an authority on the subject treated. These lessons are made very simple, but are none the less extremely interesting. The course embraces the following topics:
Politics and Woman's Interest,
nation and Country Government,

The matter of forming groups for civic and political education offers just now the most useful and interesting service that well informed colored women can undertake. Of course, there is no reason why they should not permit the men to assist them in it.
THE ITALIAN REVOLUTION.
we refer to the remaking of history which' s world at the present time, and especially in it is transpiring to day in Italy. It is not can be reason that it is a bloodless revolution. I of politics, but of the social order. The new press, but it is necessary to read more than at the truth. I well informed person knows pretty well what Russia, and that it occasioned a good deal of blooming. Something very near the same is tat in a quiet and orderly fashion. Workmen have taken over a large number of facies have notified their former employers that fitted with increased wages or shortened hours.
Again we refer to the remaking of history which is going on all over the world at the present time, and especially in Europe. A revolution is transpiring to day in Italy. It is not causing much noise for the grass that it is a bloodless revolution. It is a revolution, not of politics, but of the social order. The news of it is in the daily press, but it is necessary to read more than the printed lines to get at the truth.
Every well informed person knows pretty well what has taken place in Russia, and that it occasioned a good deal of bloodshed and physical suffering. Something very near the same is taking place in Italy, but in a quiet and orderly fashion.
The workmen have taken over a large number of factories and plants. They have notified their former employers that they will not be satisfied with increased wages or shortened hours; that what they must have is a share in the management and the profits of the business; their demand is that the workers be made "collaborators in the highest sense of the word." They have demanded an immediate convocation of the Chamber of Deputies "in order that the situation may be examined and laws proposed that will bring about radical legislative measures which, through requisition of industrial plants; and participation in their management by workmen, will prepare the way for direct control of workers in the interest of collectivity."
The workers have gone far. The Government has not yet offered any interference. Perhaps it does not feel that it dares to do so. The European Powres fought this sort of thing in Russia with arms. How will it be met in Italy? If it is allowed to suc-
cased in Italy, how can the experiment be kept out of France and England? Events in Italy should be watched and studied closely.
THE HON. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
The Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is running for the vicepresidency on the Democratic ticket, gained considerable publicity by saying in a recent speech that the United States could outvote Great Britain in the League of Nations on account of the Latin-American republics which it controlled. He stated that while he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy he held two of these republic and their votes in his vest pocket. He added in a burst of indiscretion that he himself wrote the constitution of Haiti.
Colored voters will be interested in the assertion of Mr. Roosevelt that he was the author of a new constitution which was forced upon a neighborbring, friendly and formerly independent republic. But, after all, Mr. Roosevelt's assertion may be a bit of boasting. Perhaps he did have a hand in shaping Haiti's new constitution. Perhaps he only approved what was done. Naturally the author of the work did not sign his name to it; and Mr. Roosevelt is now denying that he ever made any claims to the authorship.
However, there is another document to which Mr. Roosevelt's official signature is affixed that will be of greater local interest to colored American voters than the constitution of Haiti. This document was made public four years ago, to be exact, August 8, 1916. At the time it was widely commented on by the colored press of the country, but, naturally no particular importance was given to its official sponsor, for he was not then asking American voters to make him vice-president.
To-day; this document will have such a new interest for colored citizens that we reproduce it here in full exactly as it was issued in official form and promulgated by Mr. Roosevelt.
COPY
OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM FROM THE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.
9353-171 O-Si Sent August 8, 1916.
There are forwarded herewith, mimeograph copies of a letter from the Superintendent of the State, War and Navy Department Buildings, dated August 7, relative to the allotment of toilets in the State, War and Navy Department Buildings for the use of women, white men, and colored men. These copies are for the information and guidance of the bureau and offices concerned.
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT STATE, WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS, Washington, August 7, 1910
Beginning Wednesday morning, August 9, 1916, the toilets in the State, War and Navy Department Building will be allotted for use to toilets as follows:
1st Floor—1A; 2nd Floor—2B; 3rd Floor—3B;
4th Floor—MEN; 1st Floor—1A; 2nd Floor—2B; 3rd Floor—3B;
FOR WHITE MEN: Sub-basement-0A; Basement- B, C, D, E,
F, G, H; 1st Floor-1B, 1C, 1D, 2nd Floor-2A, 2B, 2D, 2E,
2F, 2H, 3rd Floor-3A, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3G, 3H, 4th Floor-4A, 4C, 4D,
4E, 4F, 4G; 5th Floor-5G, 5H
FOR COLORED MEN. Sub-basement-0D, 01H. Basement-A.
1st floor, 1F, 2nd floor, -21; 3rd floor, 2E, 4th floor, -4E.
Please note that this assignment does not prevent the use before
2 A. M by either white or colored messengers or laborers of the
nearest men's toilet equipped with a slop sink for filling and washing
water bottles, slop jars, etc.
It is requested that you have the necessary instructions issued to those connected with your department. The Watch force of the building has been directed to render every assistance in enforcing this order.
These toilets have been reconstructed at considerable expense to the government and are now in excellent condition. The hearty cooperation and assistance of all is asked in an effort to maintain them in that condition.
Very respectfully,
WM. M. HARTS; Colonel U. S. A., Supt.
As we said above, perhaps Franklin D. Roosevelt did have a hand in writing the new constitution of Haiti, and perhaps he did not; but there is no doubt about the fact that four years ago he did promulgate an order regulating the use of toilets.
WHAT NEWCOMERS CAN DO.
During the past five years of more many Negroes have turned their backs on the North and migrated to the North seeking the opportunity to better their condition in life and to obtain better opportunities for their children. The weight of testimony is to the effect that they have made good in their leavers, or at least the greater portion of them have done so. Most of them have succeeded in obtaining regular employment at fair wages and under better conditions of living than prevailed at their former homes. They have settled in various parts of the North, and have become a settled part of the community.
So far these newcomers have brought the required elements of an essential labor force to the communities where they have cast their lot, and in return have received a fair equivalent for their lot. They have also secured the advantages of living under just laws, and receiving the educational advantages that they desired for their children. In the course of the time that has elapsed since their advent into the community, many of these newcomers have become eligible as voters. The suppression of the suffrage was one of the many disadvantages that they suffered from in their old homes.
In their new environment no bar is raised against their voting and having their votes counted as cast. It is both their privilege and their duty to qualify themselves to exercise the right of suffrage to which they now have access. By so doing they will show themselves ready and willing to fulfill the full duty of citizenship. They will also help those of their race whom they have left behind in the Southland, as well as those in the North, with whom they have become fellow citizens.
The South is mindful of the influence that can be exerted by this new set of voters in the North, and the Charlotte, N. C. Observer seeks to discredit it by the following falsity, cut out of whole cloth:
The controlling thought of the Negro voter in the North and West when he becomes numerically strong enough to elect a Negro ticket, will be to take charge of town affairs and establish a government of Negroes by Negroes. The North has a lot to learn of the Negro in politics. Once the Negro becomes the balance of power, discussions of "the Negro question" would break out from a new angle. The progressive shifting of the Negro vote from the South to the North means the progressive lessening of trouble in the South and its increase in the North, for the people up here, loving the Negro less he closer he gets to them, not going to stand for the things the South has had to stand for
The strongest refutation of this attempt at pro-Southern propaganda was furnished in the South itself in the reconstruction governments after the Civil War, when although the Negroes furnished the bulk of the votes, the white carpetbaggers predominated in holding the most important offices in North Carolina, too when the Republicans and Populist made a coalition, the Negroes were contented with the lesser degree of representation in office. Much of the legislation effected when the Negroes were a voting force in the South way of a beneficial nature to the community at large. If it had not been for the educational systems inaugurated under the reconstruction State governments in which Negroes played an important part, the illiteracy of the South would be much greater than it is today. Again we say that the newcomers from the South should participate actively in political affairs, both men and women. By so doing they will be helping to better the lot of those they left behind and at the same time they will be improving their status as citizens and cooperating with the members of the community, where they have made their new homes.
Let the Negroes from the South become full-fledged voters in the North, and help put an end to Democratic misrule wherever it may now prevail.
Some members of the National Woman's Party, now that suffrage has been won, advocated forming a third party excluding men altogether. Others favored a movement to reform the marriage laws and remove other existing discriminations against their sex. The next thing some feminist will move to amend the marriage ceremony by expunging the bridegroom's pledge. "With all my worldly goods I thee endow." Then will come the abolishing of the wife's dower right to property as it obtains in many of the States, and the husband's liability for his wife's deeds, also alimony in divorce suits. The National Woman's Party, has its work cut out in attaining a perfect equality of the sexes. But perhaps this would be going too far.
The Bluff City News accounts for a wave of home buying and general property owning among the Negroes of Memphis, by saying "that, the lack of molkstation on the part of the opposite race, and the showing of greater spirit of cooperation instead, has given encouragement to the, colored man." Julia Davis Golden is now the publisher of the News, she having been a coworker of the late King L. Chambers, formerly its editor.
SENATOR HARDING
AND THE NEGRO
Extracts from the acceptance speech of the Republican nominee for President, Senator Warren G. Harding, delivered at Matthews High on July 22, 1920.
"I believe the federal government should give its effective aid in solving the problem of ample and becoming housing of its citizenship."
"I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and unity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."
"I believe in law enforcement." If I elected me to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, I thinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government. People ever will differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law—there is divided opinion respecting the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative—but there can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement.
"Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of congress must harmonize with the constitution; else they soon are adjudged to be void; congress enacts the laws and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot jeopardize orderly government with contempt for law enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands, but perversion and erosion mark the paths to the failure of government itself."
ORGANIZATIONS WITH A PURPOSE.
The Negro race has a position for starting organizations of social, beneficial, charitable and otherwise. Many of the short lived, and after having the purpose of giving their promote a transient notoriety are allowed to hire unhonored and unsuspecting with higher purposes and higher foundations persist in doing the work for which they were organized at the velopt into greater usurbs, to several of this latter type that would direct attention.
One of the organizations devoted to racial improvement that is doing the most important work is the New York Urban League. Its function has been to develop and enlarge the sphere of the Negro as a factor in the civil and industrial life of the greatest city in America. No opportunity has been allowed to pass unimproved that would afford the Negro in New York an opportunity to better his lot by a step upward and onward in industry or business.
The Boys' Welfare Club is a not-for-profit organization that devotes its efforts to a fruitful field in seeking to nurture the well-being of the boys, and of allowing them to run the race in quest of success, a club has been provided with games and other sports to give them proper exercise and amusement, and at the same time that their minds into ways that will serve for their future good. Two organizations that have started a model work for the benefit of the girls of the care the Sojourner Truth Hospice at Katy Ferguson Home.
Other, organizations might be that are fulfilling useful purposes performing needed work in kinds among the colored people in York City, but we feel called this time to mention the task above as especially worthy of All of these have received encouragement and support from friends of the race. It is therefore more incumbent that they should cease a proper measure of support the race itself. They are all essential work with real aid. They deserve moral and great port. It is the duty of every of the race to give such his or her means will permit.
"Will you remember the League, the Boys Welfare and the Sojourner Truth Home and Ferguson Home?"
How the American conquest is regarded by the Republic for the Presidency, may from the following point Senator Harding's speech, League of Nations:
"I may remark casual that if I should be as I to be, elected President and honorable republic, I would an Assistant Secretary Navy to draft a constitution less neighbors in the West jam it down their throat of hayonets borne by marines. Nor will I impose of the Executive to cover with secrecy repeated acts of interference in domestic affairs little republics of the West isphere."
All of which furnishes reason why the Negro will give their united support to Harding and Caddis.

Comments On Use of Negro Music By Race Musicians
On August 14 I published in this column a letter from Mme. E. Annalie Balkenhorn in Detroit, Mich., in which she referred to the recent meeting of the National Association of Negro Musicians, and the wonderful inspiration it provided to see Negro musicians working in harmony. In this connection her personal experience as a "musical missionary to the Negro nation" incidentally she referred to difficulties experienced in getting the material to recognize compositions by Negro composers. Mme. H. Faye said in her letter that—
of the continual warfare about Negro music, I am proud of every effort success has followed my individual promotion of Negro music, although often without the help of many of the so-called musicians.
I wonder how some of these leading Negro musicians and can look Mr. Dett and other Negro composers of reputa- tions when they have done so little to encourage Negro and the sale of published compositions. It is never too soon so we will all jump in the Negro-Music Band Wagon and Negro Music with all our strength. Now, we will hear choirs composed by Dett and other Negro composers. How grand!
a pianist, who could or would play Dett's Suite, including Derey Grainger is now featuring? I have actually worn out in carrying them around for years with the vain hope that he played frequently, especially in the large cities. No that white artists and white conservatory students are in the bottom's Suite, we will be sure to hear and popularise it.
As is expected, these rather caustic comments have aroused considerable letters have been received in which issue was taken comments made by Mme. Hackley. Of these I have selected written by a distinguished musician who is also a com-

and have been for a long time. At the time I was pondering whether he would dislike someone taking a different view of some things he wrote. I am one who is ever mindful of others who have gone before and leit their impression. To wholly lose sight of others and assume supreme leadership is most narrow and egotistic. I wrote the letter in the hope that there would come no ill feelings whatever from it, but rather to sharpen our memories on past performances by members of our race."
Since the writer has put me in possession of his personal identity, I am going to print the letter referred to. I am not using the writer's name, because as it will be noted from the above communication, he does not directly give permission to do so. It is of course, that he does not care, but it suits me better on the safe side, it at all, and so the name is withheld.
The writer takes exception to some of the statements made by Roland W. Hays in a personal letter written to me from London, England, and published in this column on July 31. He writes as follows:
"Dear Mr. White: In an article or letter to you from the tenor, R. W. Hays, which appeared in Tue. Ac. July 10, I see some things which should not go unchallenged. He says: 'It is my aim as far as I am able to establish here and to other parts the fact that the Negro is just as capable of producing art in its highest form as any other nationality.'"
"Does Mr. Haves think himself a pioneer for Negro art? Has he ever read of Joseph White, the great violinist, whose art thrilled all Europe? What about such singers as H. T. Burleigh, Willek King, Sidney Woodward, Rachel, Walker, Sissieretta Jones? Then there are the pianists, Hazel Harrison and I Augustus Lawson. Does Mr. Haves in the face of all these artists, think himself king among them to show the civilized world Negro art in the realm of music. The immortal S. Coleridge Taylor surely left his imprint upon the civilized world. Doubledless Mr. Haves thinks Cook and his stars do not deserve any credit for their European performances.
"I know, from having talked with the tenor, the abbors rage time. I know many performers of rage time must who are superh artists. If Mr. Hayes thinks they are not reckoned with, let him begin to practice rage time playing and find how far away he will be from excellent performance through many years of ardious work.
"I have not written this letter to you through prejudice of the tenor (for I am a great admirer of Mr. Hayes) but rather that the public as large will not lose sight of the Negro artists who preceded Mr. Hayes upon European soil."
It does not appear to me that Roland Hayes needs any defense. In the statement quoted from his letter—and the writer should have quoted more fully—Mr. Hayes referred to the work he hopes to accomplish among a people who had hitherto, in most cases, heard the American Negro musician solely as a dance-hall entertainer—vocally and instrumentally. Where he appeared as a concert performer he was usually presenting a program made up of ragtime. Negro spirituals in crème form and popular songs of the moment.
Very rarely did the Necron musician on European soil venture into interpretation of the standard classics, either instrumental or vocal. On the other hand, Mr. Hayes' programs are almost entirely classic in makeup. And so he is taking his European audiences a message of the capabilities of a race concerning which they have long had only information of a misleading sort. The average white American is not overcautious in selling his European friends about the attachments and possibilities of the American black man. And the jazz performances of the ragtime artist, excellent as they are and perfectly all right in their place, have served also to emphasize the opinion formed from biased and prejudiced information.

and his gritic ability. When he referees
to his performance he is a star.
you agree.) I am constrained to ask, "Whose idea get that stuff?" The best hip-hop player is the one who has developed the greatest digital dexterity. There are some "superb artists" who are also players of ragtime, perhaps, but well, comparisons are oddios and I have some good friends who are dispensers of ragtime, both professionally and for home amusement.
"It is quite within the range of possibility that Mr. Hayes could not master ragtime playing "through many years of ordinary work." Well, who wants him to do so? Let him continue the road he is traveling and along which he has come so far. I'd rather have him as a good tenor singer than a poor ragtime player, anyway.
Kemper Harreld's Studio of Music conducted at 7 Tattnall street, Atlanta, Ga., in addition to his work as director of music at Morehouse College, will take on the proportion of a small conservatory this season. The 1920-21 program opens on September 15, and Mr. Harreld will have six teachers regularly employed. His principal assistants will be Miss Jessica Mae Murphy, an Oberlin Conservatory graduate, who will give her entire time to the Harreld studio, teaching piano, elementary theory and public school music; Frederick Hall will have charge of the brass and woodwind instruments; Mrs. Claudia White Harreld will give a course in music history and a Victrola course in music appreciation; the other teachers will act as assistants in the various departments.
An annual department will be the class in public school music, which is primarily a sight singing class. This is for the special purpose of improving church choir material and there is already a large enrollment for this class. Another departure from the usual is the Artists' Recital Series, for which Mr. Harreld is securing the Torrent pianists, violinists, singers and other artists of race. These recitals will be for the entire city.
CYRUS-WASHINGTON WEDDING
Tuskegee Institute, Ala. —The drawing room of the residence of Mrs. Booker T. Washington was the scene Wednesday, September 15, at high noon, of a very picturequee wedding, when her daughter, Miss Laura M. Washington, became the bride of Bindley C. Oyster of Chicago. It was a rainbow wedding and the bridesmaids were dressed in various colors. The maid of honor, Miss Margaret Washington, cousin of the bride, wore a beautiful dress of silver cloth, draped with pink and silk tulle, and carried a large picture hat filled with rose buds. The dresses of the other bridesmaids, Bessie Clayton of Tuskegee, Mabel Robinson of New York City, Marie Scott of Dayton, O. and Helen Teller of Tuskegee, were of ruffled tulle over silver cloth, and each carried a large picture hat filled with garden flowers. All of the bridesmaids wore silver shippers.
The bride, who was given away by her mother, wore a lovely gown of white satin draped with tulle and pearls. The bridal veil was of tulle and was draped with orange blossoms. Her slippers were of white satin. She wore about her neck a string of family years and carried a beautiful bouquet of white rose buds and lilies of her valley.
The first of the triennial princess was a reception given to the sisters on Monday evening in the Imperial Women's Club Room. The men were entertained local dancing at a banquet given by Dr. Charles H. the young man of the Club. The showers were given in front of the bride. The first was an all-men shower given by the Monsieur F. Owens F. C. Ralston and L. W. White at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Owens on the evening of September 1. The second was a one-on-one shower given by Miss Brown Carson on Tuesday evening. Seventh, with the home of Mrs. Bracket J. Washington Many beautiful and beautiful girls were received. The wedding was lovingly attended by addition to the family, my beloved friend, from various residences. These was the mother of the bride.
GOV. BICKETTS MEANING.
For the county, we are so intertwined with the language used by Gov. Bickett in North Carolina that white government must be supreme and unbalanced in our borders. To be perfectly fair to the Governor, I do not achieve that he means by such an expression what the words naturally imply to the large majority of elected people who must read such expression. Set over against "white government" is the government by a majority of white men, assisted by the presence of blacks. I really think that the Governor means that such a government shall not diminish in North Carolina. It in certain communities, a majority of the qualified voters elected a colored man to an office. I cannot see that the force of Gov. Bickett's remarks would imply that the person so elected would lawfully be restrained from telling the office to which he was elected.
Nor do I understand by the word of the Governor that in the "white government" that is "supreme" there will be no place where colored men may serve.
In short, as I understand it, the party of the white man will be supreme, and colored men may only occupy such places as they think wise, and conducive o the mutual happiness of the races.
It is unnecessary to discuss whether this is exactly as it ought to be. I say it is unnecessary to discuss it, because for a very long time to come, it will certainly be as the Governor leaches. Bu, I see hope even in this disadvantage.
The black man's good service and superior conduct in the places which may be given him, will almost unconceivably widen and increase his scope of public service. We may not like this condition, but, when we can not change it, it is the part of prudence to take advantage of our disadvantage and cause it to work to our advantage. Presently, our prudent advantage is the result of this more wise
The Age Readers' Forum
In Augusta, Ga.
They are to vote on a bond issue of $500,000 for the schools of Augusta Ga. And as in the case of former bond issues for schools, they want the Negro vote to "help." But the Negroes have found out that all they are wanted for is to vote the thing through and then all the money is spent on white schools. The Negro enjoys entire equality in the payment of taxes in Augusta, Ga. Some time ago a bond issue for $200,000 was voted through and a palatial high school was built for white children—exclusively. Not a cent of the money was put into colored schools. The whites proceed to spend one million dollar of public money on white schools exclusively, and practically nothing has been done for the colored schools in thirty-five years.
The other day a committee of colored men went to call on the superintendent, who was anxious to have their support for this new bond issue. Of the five hundred thousand, they wanted one-half spent on colored schools, inasmuch as all the past million had been spent on white schools. To realize how modest this asking way, one must remember that the Negro is more than forty per cent. of the population in Georgia, and these colored people were asking for a bare sixteen per cent. of the money to be spent on their school building—not counting the greater inequality in teachers' salaries and other current expenses.
Just the white officer told them diplomatically that such a request from the colored people, if accepted to by the board would defeat the whole thug at the hands of the "lower class" whites. The colored men then asked for a bare $15,000, or one牙刷! And the white officer had the brazenness to suggest the bare possibility of their getting $75,000 or one TWENTIETH! And he would not promise that for a certainty. He professed to be afraid to promise anything to the colored people less at it偶然 the yellow whites. And yet they have the colored people on stand based on the theory that the whites are superior and utter to voters. You can tell.
But it is a shame and a hypocritical device. The upper class who man always make a protest out of the "badness" of the lower class in order to work his own will and wishes, and the Negro has too often felt for that hypocrisy. But the board committee at this meeting the other day in Augusta, Ga., said something like this to the superintendent: If you cannot forgive your innocent white, to vote in what I even know that out the box do you expect us to persuade the colored population to vote to you what is much more than your dog and practically connotes a legalized robbery against the colored two persons. The result is that all the colored men and women of Augusta, who love grief in their gizzard, have made their minds and are organizing their force of action that this hard work or failing to do that to do the next best thing to the people from whom I saw with my eyes and board with my ears. I know that they have nothing to lose by defeating or trying to defeat at this important robbery, and I find my best to overcome the determination of the robbery.

The Tide of Opportunity for Negro Business Men and Women.
To the Editor of Tutt Act.
"There is a title in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Shakespeare.
The title of opportunity is now at the flood for Negro business men and women. There never was a time in the history of our country when the demand for trained Negro business men and women was so great as it is today. The demand is far in excess of the supply.
There are two methods of securing the training necessary to enable you to qualify, for the positions "higher up" they are experience and study. Thousands of Negroes have received them through experience, which means painful years of practice, hardships and
character and quantity of knowledge necessary to achieve or merit any sort of success in the business world are contained in the commercial courses now being offered in the various commercial schools. GEORGE W. BLOUNT, Portsmouth, Va.
NEW ANGLES IN MARYLAND
To the Editor of the Ack:
In my first letter I wrote up the political situation as it stood one week ago. I write it up as it stands this week. During the week there have been some changes, some developments, some advances. The heart of the mayor has been softened and his rule of Negro appointments has been broken. He has given the race some honorary appointments. Five colored persons have been appointed by him on the Soldier, Sailors and Marine Memorial Committee, among whom are the editor and business manager of the Commonwealth. One of our general conference delegates said a short time ago that one who was looking for personal appointment was unfit, to be a delegate. We think that no one in this fight should receive any appointment from the mayor. It is rather hard to smite the hand that feeds you. The Commonwealth has been consistent; it has ceased fighting, which might indicate that the battle has been won. The old line Republicans have closed their fight.
The Independent Republicans are still on the job and Mr. Hawkins' has accepted the nomination as senator. They will not be bought off by honors. Why were these honorary appointments given, because of the Regular's fight or because of the Independents' fight? Politicians are void of feelings unless you hit them the hardest possible blow. You may curse and abuse them all you please, but unless you hit them nothing is done. Who hit the effective blow, the oldtime Republicans or the new-liners? In this fight, who deserves credit? We answer by giving this fact: Nothing was done till Hawkins was nominated for Senator. The Regulators have apparently won the game. The Independents are still fighting for principle. Who is deserving? Let us see what we gain by the end of this week. We have gained nothing substantial yet. It looks like an old time outfit.

NEW NEGRO VOTERS.
(From The Waterbury, Conn.)
Republican.
Tit. New York At. a conservative and dependable weekly newspaper for New York, has made an investigation into recent Negro migration to the South to Massachusetts and Connecticut and has brought to high some facts of special interest in view of the approaching election. Waterbury should be interested for this city is listed as one of those that have received decided additions to their populations through the coming of Negro migrants. (2) The general states of these southern New Yorks in their new homes. Tit. New York At. says:
In these New England communities the miscensors have entered into the municipality, and become a part of the city tables. They are compatiably bounded and many of them have invited their awnings in homes of their own. Many of them it is true are spending merely of their earnings, but a lesser number are contributing the same shrewd, careful management which made them famous in the southern communities where they formerly lived.
In these New England communities the miscensors have entered into the municipality and are being bounded and respect which for the first time in their lives have given them the feeling of being from one community with their color and taste to the environment of another and one community.
Mohs also estimates the white people in this city will not be required to register. He has it that this was from people and 12 axes on an outfit of 24 axes. It may not be from the numbers on Negroes, Jews, Germans and Japanese. It is with the population of this city that the white people will be required to register.
A large proportion of these prescriptions are not at present in use, so limiting their use is necessary of the medicine. This proportion is responsible, large and may not be capable of improving the condition entitled to the suffrage. This patient condition not to be considered as being so strange when it is not considered that those men know it been in the failure of voting. In fact it has been deprived of the power of making a period of illness but has never had it. It will be necessary to bring to them knowledge of its value to them and individuals and as members of the civic community.
There is a matter for the immediate concern of the local political managers, especially the republican managers. Needless to say these newcomers are all potential republican voters. It should be the business of the local republican organization to see that these new citizens are allowed to the importance of using their right to the ballot. They should be encouraged and helped to get themselves made voters and be given all and necessary in their most attempt to exercise the right that this state does not abridge on account of color.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
the unusual interest manifested by Harlemites in the presentation of the photo play, "The Brute," this week's attraction at the Lafayette Theatre, clearly points out the strong desire on the part of the Negro to use race plays both on the stage and screen. That the movies are destined to take lead in catering to the present insistent demand for the production of plays written by Negroes and produced by Negroes is another fact being borne out.
So far as the story which "The Brute" unfolds, it is neither original nor any too pleasing to those of us who desire to see the better side of Negro life portrayed. A dive where colored men and women congregate to gamble, the susceptibility of a devoted aunt who takes money from a dive-keeper seeking the hand of a niece, a detailed exhibition of a crap game in which a woman is the central figure, are included in some of the important scenes. As I looked at the picture I was reminded of the attitude of the daily press, which magnifies our vices and minimizes our virtues.
With the advent of more race photo plays produced under the direction of Negroes, and with the popularity of these plays steadily increasing among Negroes in this and other countries, it is incumbent upon colored producers to set a high standard not only from the standpoint of photography and technical stage direction, but a determined effort must be made so that in the thematic construction of plays the Negro is given high ideals and types which he can emulate and of which he can feel justly proud.
The screen not only is functioning as a great entertainer, but a great educator as well. As at no time in the history of motion pictures have white producers sought to present the Negro in a complimentary light, it therefore is the duty of our race producers to gladden our hearts and inspire us by presenting characters typifying the better element of Negroes. This is what the white producer seeks to do. Why should we do less for our people?
There is much to commend in Oscar McBrae's latest photo play. It is a very creditable endeavor in many respects. There is one feature that is bound to make the picture a success—the prize night in which Sam Langford defeats Marty Cutler. This is the one big scene and it is a genuine thriller. When Langford floors 'Cutler with a knockout wallop with his mighty right, my such noise from the audience! Men, women and children get excited as if at a real light and cheer. Mr. Micheaux showed rare judgment in putting on this scene.
A. B. De Comathiere; one of the best character actors in the employ of the Quality Amusement Corporation, plays the title role most convincingly, measuring up to the strong part allotted him. Not only in his acting but his facial expressions are emblematic of a husband of brutal instincts.
Evelyn Preer has developed into a motion picture actress worthy of serious consideration. As a badly untreated wife her work is such as to win the sympathy of the audience from the start. Theda Bara has nothing on Alice Gorgas as the vamp, and Lawrence Chenault, in a lover's role, and Susie Sutton as the aunt prove as talented artists on the screen as before the footlights. E. G. Tafum is the other member of the cast to help make the picture a winner. As for Sam Langford, he hands the big a surprise by essaying to play the start of one in love.
"The Brute" is in seven reels. Its photography is more meritorious than any of Osear Miheaux's pictures. At times there are lapses between important intervals which one is compelled to open by using the imagination, but these errors of omission are forgotten when Langford knocks out Cutler.
As a photo play produced by Negroes "The Brute" is the best of its kind that has been offered for the amusement of the colored movie devotee. Aside from the valuable service it renders as a medium of entertainment, it gives a true index as to what is in store for each photo play in the near future.

THEATRICAL JOTTINGS
By BOB SLATER..
The Sporting World From All Angles By "Ted" Hooka, Sporting Editor THE WORLD IS SPORT MAD
"Where is it all going to end?" inquires a bewildered sport enthusiast. In athletics, countries the world over sent their representatives to Antwerp, Belgium, to uphold their respective banners and to battle for world supremacy. America, of to be more exact, the U. S. A., sent her group. Among this lot were five Negroes and one Hawaiian who, were it not for his exceptional ability, would be called a black man too. The five Negroes placed on the U. S. A.'s team were Sol Butler, of Dubuque, Iowa, holder of the American broad jump record; Earl Johnson the Pittsburgh distance, runner; two giant men on the American tug o' war team whose names we have been unable to learn and our own Benny Ponteau of New York, member of St. Christopher Club and lightweight boxer of proven ability. Other Negroes proved themselves eligible but were overlooked by the American Olympic Committee for reasons which were never stated. Yet granting that the Olympic Committee's reasons were sufficient to keep the others off the U. S. A.'s team, we looked over our five and could not help but feel cheerful. When we reviewed the records made by our five in contests which finally gained them recognition, we could not help but feel proud. Realizing the adversities they were compelled to face, assured us of their exceptional merit.

Athletics.
Furthermore five men in the grand total of about a hundred and fifty, is not such a small percentage. This is a white man's country.
Golf.
For years golf has been known in "the States as the great Scottish game". The only part commonly taken in this pastime by the Negro, has been the role of caddy. In this menial role he has been a familiar face in golf, yet as a player he was never considered at either course.
Today we have golfers from Massachusetts to the Potomac. All along the way we hear of our folks efforts in this popular outdoor pastime. In New York especially, interest is soaring high; these being pretty near a dozen Negroes—lovers of this sport frequenting the public links at Van Cortland Park. They are proving themselves of the higher order by making serious efforts to organize themselves into a club with the hope of interesting more folks in their sport. Only last Sunday, six of their number were seen going over the course. A better deported or a better clad group could not have been found on any court. Among the group was Messrs. Jess L. Garland an old devotee and a youngster, Aaron about the most promising exponent on the Van Cortland Park course.
Baseball
Baseball in this vicinity has had many a good day but the tide this year has reached undreamed of heights. We who are not completely overcome by excitement find ourselves pondering on the reason for such success. Among the semi-professional ball clubs we have the Rocky Mountain Hall of Fame, the Halldale of Philadelphia, the Cuban Stars, the Pennsylvania Giants of Newark, and a number of lesser aspirants and many chasers.
At last however, we have in our midst a team which can no longer be classed as semi-professional. According to the dictionary semi means half and followers of the Bacharach stants can and will tell you that nothing has been half way about this team. They were sent on a southern training trip early last spring, they played in most of the southern cities on their way home from their training in a southwest countryside they picked up some valuable soulless plays in summer long they have played three and four days each week on their home field in Atlantic City, and have played to huge crowds regularly at Ebbett's field, home of the Brooklyn National's.
To make a long story short—well, say, they are the class and were it not for their complexions we would hear more about them in big league ball games, they have played more on league ball parks, than any other team in this vicinity.
Boxing
In our lightweight division we have Leo Johnson and Eddie Dorey, each chaining to be the master of the other. Witerat Panama Joe Gans is called the white champion's shadow. "Panama" claims to have followed the title holder from state to state without inducing him to engage in a bout. In the heavier division we get Jamaica Kid, Harry Robinson, Kid Nortokl, and the incompatible Harry Wills. Can any race muster a more formidable aggregation? These gladiators draw the line on nobody.
Tennis
Our hopes in tennis soar. Of all games taken to by our folk, none have gained favor more rapidly than tennis. And why? Because it is a game that can be played by the working man; because it does not leave a player all stiff and broken up and out of condition for his labor on the next day; because it is easily learned and the more he can appreciate it, the more of it and the more cager he becomes to master it himself. Because in tennis possibly as in no other sport, one can show off his gentlemanly characteristics—the characteristics possessed more by the rank and file of our people than by any other people, not even excluding the French.
in this pastime, but we give promise of developing faster than any infant that has ever been seen before us. Men in all walks of life are taking to it daily. Most local clubs are overcrowded with members; our folks may be seen in large numbers in all of the public parks affording courts. Many tournaments have been held, the National held in New York, capping the climax. Players not only from all over the country, including far off California, were entered, but two players from Jamaica, British West Indies, as well, making the tournament laterational. Americans are eager to down the Jamaican race, not because they are Jamaicans but because they are champions and it is just human nature to want to make new champions and break old ones. New Yorkers long to beat Mr. Clark and Miss Rae just as they used to yearn to beat Tally Holmes and Miss Slow.
Tennis Houses Bright
And New Yorkers will not stop with languaging or yawning. They are eventually going to come through, after which they are bound to remain forever on the top. The most hopeful maternal among the men on local courts, and this includes New York and vicinity, is Eyre Saitch, who only this years graduates from the junior ranks to try his hand among the men. Twil he nothing new, to Saitch to overcome; even the topnotchers among local regals, wielders. He has done this time and again in practice games on the Ideal Courts and has never received an interesting story which shows the youthful faith in God of this youngster is told by his father. Mr. Saitch reports that his boy never enters a tournament but what he goes to the Catholic Church directly opposite the courts and asks the Mother Superior to pray to God for him to win.
There are pits of temptation awaiting Eyerre Saitch however. We hope to see him bound over all of them. The greatest and most dangerous one is labelled swelled head. If this boy is rich, he will be innocent Richards, bridges this chasm, no others will give him any worm. Let us all try to help him.
JACK JOHNSON GIVEN
A YEAR-FINED $1,000.
Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight title holder, was sentenced to one year and one day in Leavenworth Penitentiary and fined 1000 dollars by federal Judge George A. Carpenter for violation of the Mann Act.
The former heavyweight champion had received a like sentence in 1913 when he was convicted of transporting a girl from Pittsburgh to Chicago for immoral purposes. Following this conviction Johnson was out on bail for $15,000 which he forfeited when he fled to Europe through Canada. In that memorable escape, Johnson threw the authorities off his trail by having another big Negro dress in one of the hoxer's suits and sat in the front of Johnson's house. Detectives watching the house thought this was Jack himself and the pugilist gained several hours start on them. He was detected in Canada and efforts were made to head him off with extradition proceedings but it was found that he had purchased a ticket in the United States for Europe and the Canadian Government therefore had no jurisdiction over him.
Since 1913 Johnson has lived in England, France and Spain. Later on he went to Havana, Cuba, where it is alleged he faked in the fight with Jess Willard, which gave the latter the heavyweight title. The story goes that Johnson was promised a return to the U. S. A. without molestation by the authorities for the charge which hung over his head. The parties in the crime failed to live up to the agreement once Johnson's title had been gained and Johnson went back to Europe. He was a fugitive from justice till a few weeks ago when heurrendered himself to U. S. A. officials on the border of Lower California.

The U. S. transport Sherman, bringing fifty members of the American Olympic team home, docked at Hoboken Saturday morning. Instead of the eagerness to receive the congratulations of relatives and admirers which has characterized all previous home-coming Olympic teams, every member of the team was anxious to pour forth his tale of woe regarding conditions encountered on the trip over and back, as well as at Antwerp.
The American Olympic Committee came in for the major share of abuse, being held responsible for the rotten transportation furnished aboard the transport Princess Matoika and the very poor quarters secured for the team in Antwerp.
All of the men claimed that the unexpected form reversal of so many of the athletes was directly attributable to the poor food and unsanitary sleeping conditions that they had to endure.
Equally vehement were the athletes in their condemnation of the officials who conducted the game, the team made that the Europeans had secretly opposed the logan of "beat the Americans" by fair means or soul, and that the American officials were placed in responsible offices, especially those where they would have had to judge the finish of an event. This again was blamed on the American Olympic Committee for allowing such conditions to be imposed upon them and which left the American, team entirely at the mercy of the foreigners.
Such men as Dick Remer, the walker, and "Babe" McDonald, the weight man, expressed their intentions never to compete in another Olympiad and to do all in their power to have the entire Olympic Committee, with one or two exceptions, relieved from office.
