This deed, which was nothing short of assassination, has been heralded as an example of American heroism Of this deed, Harry Frank, writing in the June Century of "The Death of Charlemagne," says, "induced it to tilt to war with any of the writing I have tried with which history is seasured from the days of the Greeks down to the recent world war." America should read "The Death of Charlemagne" which attempts to glorify a black smith on American arms and tradition. No Peons in Haiti. There is a reason why the methods employed in road building affected the Haitian country folk in a way in which it might not have affected the people of any other Latin-American country. Not since the independence of the country has been there any thing like a poem in Haiti. The revolution by which Haiti gained her independence was merely a political revolution, it was also a social revolution. Among the many radical changes wrought was that of cutting up the large slave estates into small parcels and allotting them among former slaves. And so districts lived on his own plot of land, a plot on which his family has lived for perhaps, more than a hundred years. No matter how small or how large that plot is, and whether he raises much or little on it, it is his dad he is an independent farmer. The completed highway, moreover, continued to be a bath in the Haitian wound. Automobiles on the road; running without any speed limit, are a constant inconvenience or danger, to the native, carrying their market produce to town on their heads or loaded on the backs of animals. I have seen these people scramble in terror often up the side or down the declivity of the mountain for places of safety for themselves and their animals as the machines shorted by. I have seen a market woman's horse take flight and scatter the produce loaded on her back. I have heard an American commercial traveler laughingly tell how on the trip from Cape Haitien to Port-au-Prince the automobile he was in killed a donkey and two nigs. It had not occurred to him that the donkeys might be the chief capital of the small Haitian farmer and that the loss of it might entirely bankrupt him. It is all very humorous, of course unless you happen to be the Haitian pedestrian. The majority of visitors on arriving NEW YORK, N. Y. 4 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920 Three Men Saved From Mob By Gov.Bickett,FreedbyCourt (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Greenboro, N. C.—Judge Thomas J. Shaw, sitting in the Gifford county Superior Court, issued an order on September 20, calling for the liberation of George Troxler, a Negro, held since July 17 on a charge of having criminally assaulted a white woman, Mrs. Riddle.

The "bloodhound test," he declared, could only be used to cor- The initiative effort of the Five million dollar campaign and Evangelistic Movement of the A. M. E. Church, was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Brooklyn, on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 22, and 23. Over one hundred and twenty-five ministers of the first Episcopal District rallied there to the call of Bishop W. H. Heard, the presiding bishop of the district and before adjournment of the morning session laid over $5,500, on the table in cash for an educational endowment, church extension, Evangelism, Church pensioners, missionaries and social service. The pastor of Bethel, the Rev. C. E. Wilson, who is serving his fourth year there, welcomed the greatest meeting of the A. M. E. in Brooklyn, with ample arrangements perfected for their examination. This movement inspired by the Inter-church World Movement, which the bishops and General Conference refused to join, but planned a five year survey and campaign under the management of their agencies. The Rev. H. H. Cooper of Newport, R. L. and Rev. M. E. Sydes, of Providence, R. L. have been selected to manage the campaign in the district. The Rev. Dr. Cooper is district surveyer and the Rev. Dr. Sydes is the financial secretary. The afternoon of the day was given over to Dr. Cooper, who outlined the plan of his survey and to Dr. Sydes, who conducted a roundtable talk on the subject of the drive and financial plans. In the evening addresses were delivered by the Rev. H. P. Anderson of Philadelphia, Rev. H. K. Spearman of Newark, N. J., and Rev. R. W. Wright, Jr. editor of the Christian Recorder. The sessions closed at 1:30 p. m. Thursday and a large number of the attendants accompanied the bishop to Coney Island where pastor Wilson had arranged a sumptuous dinner at the famous Stanich's Restaurant.

Bank Building Alterations Alterations on the building for bank and offices at 135th street and Lenox avenue, are now in progress and the same will be completed within the next sixty days. This job has been delayed for the last three or for months because of giving the tenants in the houseample time in which to find other quarters. Even thought the Court ruled that the tenants, should vacate since August 5, families have been permitted to remain in the building, without rent, and it is hoped that within the next few days the three families will find other quarters so that the alterations on all of the floors may be completed at once. The cost of alterations on this corner will aggregate about $25,000. robate other testimony. Troxler established an ironbound abbot to the effect that he was in Burlington at time the crime was committed. The Troxler case excited great interest, as it was because of an attempt by a mob to lynch Troxler and the other two Negroes that Governor Bickett ordered a machine gun company from Durham to protect the jail at Graham, Alamance county, where the three men were confined. Governor Bickett gave orders to the captain commanding the company to shoot to kill if necessary in protecting the prisoners. As a result one white man, member of the mob, was killed and two others seriously wounded. But the lives of three innocent Negroes were saved. Judge Shaw is a Greensboro citizen. C.M.E.'S OF ALABAMA RAISE ABOUT $70,000 Birmingham, Ala.—Led by Bishop Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., the C. M. E.'s of Alabama have just concluded the most remarkable single financial campaign remember among Negro religious bodies. He is in promises or in plains; and he is not but in actual cash payments; added by the small Kentucky and Ohio and California mission conferences, nearly $70,000 was raised as a memorial offering for the fifty years of marching of Colored Methodism. This Church was organized fifty years ago and the semi-centennial celebration of the event took place at Thirgood C. M. E., Church last week. Prominent lay members and ministers from all over the country, together with a large body of women were in attendance. Bishop Phillips, who was the prince mover and bishop of this district, delivered the principal address, dwelling largely upon the triumphs of the Church from 1870 to 1920. Starting in the South, said, nearly every state in the Union and nearly every state in Africa now have a home church for the host of Miles. He paid a glowing tribute to the late Bishop L. H. Holsey, who was senior bishop of the Church from 1873 to 1920, serving actively for 47 years, the longest service of any bishop in the history of Methodism. Bishops W. H. Miles, R. H. Vandehorst, J. A. Beebe, G. W. Stewart and M. F. Jamison are the gallant dead, while the living bishops, beside Bishop Phillips, are R. S. Williams, Augusta, Ga.; E. Cottrell, Holly Springs, Miss.; Isaac Lane, Jackson Tenn; R. A. Carter, Chicago, Ill., and N. C. Cleaves, St. Louis, Mo.

Reasons why the Negro voter should support the Republican party for President and Vice-President of the United States continue to be received by the editor of The Age in response to his letter to various leaders of the race. The gist of the many expressions can be summed up in the concise statement that the Republican party is the only party that offers the remotest chance to the Negro, politically, civilly and economically. Wisconsin, Missouri, New York State and New York City are alike in the expression of legality to the Republican party and its tenets and each one gives forth the same thought clothed in different form, that the Democratic party stands for anything historical to the Negro while the Republican party is opposed to anything which favors of prescription or prejudice. received in addition to those published in the last issue of The Age: The Rev.

The fundamental principle under- lying the Republican party are the pri- of wont, justice, economy and government is far and essential ministra- tion of the affairs of the Republican party in the House of the Virgin's usef- t government and support the Republican party is the in- terested turn-off which freedom came to the Nation. IV. Under the Republican platform we are given right of citizenship. V. It is through the Republican party that we have equal right to render service in the various branches of the government. VI. The Republican party has saved the Negro from universal segregation and incarcerism. VII. The Republican party has given the country the safest, safest, most substantial and progressive leadership. VIII. The Republican party will save us from a League of Nations, entanglement, disaster, humiliation, and a supergovernment of one rule rule. IX. The Republic party is the only one to faith with the Negro and has proven itself to be interested in his development. X. This Grand Old Party is the only one in which the Negro has found political, economic, industrial, intellectual, and physical freedom; thus making it possible for the Negro to have acquired the vast amount of wealth he has accumulated in fifty years. The Rev. W. S. FERGUSON Pastor St. Matthew C. M. E. Church Mitwinker, Wis. The chief concern is now to get the Republican party in power. I am on the job and am giving you a few reasons why we should support the Republican party. Let's turn out the Democrats and install the Republicans and then renew our fight for justice and right. Be content with nothing less. Why should the Negro support the Republican party, November, 1920? 1. Because the Democratic party failed to keep its pledges to the Negro. 2. Because the Democratic party has not enforced the Constitution guaranteed safety of life and property. 3. The Republican party is the only other party able to secure enough electoral votes. 4. What rights of citizenship we enjoy came through the Republican party. 5. Our hope of ultimate justice is alliance with the Republican party. 6. Support of the Republican party will strengthen our cause for Justice and fair play. 7. Success without our support might create to our disadvantage. 8. The Independent; Socialist; and Farm-Labor parties, while very outspoken in championing the Negro cause, are as yet hopelessly in the minority. 9. "Safety First," so stand on the bridge that carried you over safety and then renew your fight for absolute justice and be content with nothing less. HENRY A. WALLACE 245 West 130th Street, New York City The Negro's Political Credo. I believe in the Republican party because it is in favor of a Federal law against Lynching, and has embodied a plank to that effect in its platform. I believe in the Republican party because it has nominated as its standard bearers to be voted for in November men who have been tried and who have been found to measure up to every requirement demanded by the platform and I believe it is the duty of every Negro who believes in human rights and who has a vote to cast it for Heeding and Coolidge and the straight Republican ticket, because it is absolutely necessary for a Republican Congress, to be elected in order to carry out the policies of the party. And if the Negro does his full duty I believe that victory will perch on the Republican banner, which will mean a better day for the race. Chairman Executive Committee Night Market Bureau Council Rochester, N. Y. The colored people should support the Republican party for the following reasons: 1. Because the Republican party was organized at a state convention held in Bloomington, IL, in 1856. At that time Abraham Lincoln was being talked of as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. In the convention he made one of his greatest speeches, taking advanced anti-slavery grounds, which were the foundation justice for four million of human beings, then slaves, and planted deep in the hearts of the colored people Republi- nism. 2. Because the national Democratic party has never declared itself in favor of civil rights for the colored people. 3. Because the nation is prosperous under Republican control, and the colored citizen employs a political preference and trust. 4. Because after January 18, 1856, the colored people realized that they were a party and parcel of the Republic and members of the Republican party, with Frederick Douglas leading the mighty host. 5. Because we as a race are getting our rights slowly, but surely. Whenever we accord our full rights to American citizens, protected as such, it will be through the instrumentality of the Republican party. 6. Because we look to the Republican party to protect the women of our race, as well as the men, in executing their elective franchise. 7. Because we expect and rely on the Republican party to eliminate Jim Crowism so far as in its power may be. 8. Because we are a Republican Conference President, and a safe and safe administration for the people. 9. Because President Warren G. Harding will be a Constitutional President, and will give us a League of Justice rather than a League of Force. 10. Because all the civil and political rights we now enjoy were enacted into law by a Republican Congress. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES First Emmanuel Church. On last Sunday morning at the First Emmanuel Church, a large and appreciative audience listened attentively to a powerful garmon delivered by Pastor Bolden from St. Matthew 11:25. "At that time Jesus answered, and said, 'I thank three O Father Lord of Heaven and earth because you are the best prudent, and have sealed them unto Jesus'" theme "Jesus activities received Heavenly Father's Youth and Beauty Chance. BY MENA You have an ideal; everybody has. Way down, keep in your heart you have a mental picture of just how you would like to look and, due to many years of thought and study by dermatologists and beauty doctors, you can have the means to realize this ideal always at hand, and you owe it to yourself and friends to take advantage of the opportunity. The fascination of the stage is due to beauty and art. Theatregoers delight in beautiful actresses. Grace Howell joining the Egyptian dance, Emma Jackson and Then Wilson in playing the role of the eye with their beauty as well as with their art. The Sunset Beach People of the stage realize the value of their attractiveness and make it a part of their routine to take scientific care of themselves. How often I've heard people say, "I haven't the time." Take it. Ten or fifteen minutes daily and soon a very agreeable habit is formed. Let your personality express itself in the soft smooth skin of youth, hair and hands that show care and attention. Now is the time of year to consult your mirror. The burn of the sun and the wind, and the dust and grime of summer, all tend to coarsen the fine texture of the skin. The face should always be cleansed before retiring, to remove the dust and powder of the day. If it is allowed to remain upon the skin it becomes imbedded in the pores, which condition is very apt to produce irritation and consequent skin disfigurements. Chinese women believe in cold water baths four times daily for the face. Their smooth, clear complexions attest to the merits of frequent cleansings. I do not advise steaming the face except in special cases, such as pimples, blackheads and rough skin. In treating the above, fold a Turkish towel until it is just large enough to cover the face; wring out of water hot as the hands can stand, and apply to the face for from two to three minutes; repeat this two or three times, according to the sensitivity of the skin. (It is better to recine during the steaming.) Now apply a thick lather of oatmeal and castile soap, rub outwards and upwards with the tips of the fingers several minutes (do not rub or scrub too hard), then with hot towels remove the lather; rinse thoroughly with cold water; do not leave a trace of soap; then apply the following cucumber solution: Slice, but do not peel, four large cucumbers, put in porcelain kettle and add a cup of water; boil until soft; strain Cucumber juice ..... 8 oz. Rose Water ..... 8 oz. Glycerine ..... 2 dps. Tincture Benzoin ..... 40 dps. Alcohol ..... 2 oz. Mix benzoin in glycerine, add the rose water, next the alcohol, and the cucumber juice last, in case you will." Pastor Bolden said that Jesus Christ had a right to lay claim to God as His Father because He lived the life of a divine offspring; though human He was true to the will of the Heaven. Fatherly Father: He was just to man and carried out His obligations, at the cost of friendship. He made the supreme sacrifice that man might be redeemed and glorified. What the trinity needs today in the world is surrendered lives, and the Kingdom of God will manifest itself among men. Excellent music was furnished by the choir. The Sunday School was largely attended. Miss Holloway conducted the opening exercises. Supt. Hogans and the children engaged in a spirited review of the lesson, which was very interesting. Pastor Bolden and the members of his class of boys gave interesting talks on the life of David and Solomon. The members of the Boldin movement also held a spirited meeting at 3:30 p.m. Miss Van Blacum leader. At 4:30 p.m. m. those who attended the meeting of the Literary Society can enjoyed a musical and literary treat. A double program presented by Mrs. Quick of the First Emmanuel Church, and Mrs. Scott of the 7th Day Adventist Church, and was as follows: address Mr. Holt, trombone solo, Miss Ruth Chiff, accompanied by C. Cluff, recitation, Mrs. Kellogg, solo Miss H. Burke, recitation Miss E. Roberts, baritone solo J. Van Purten, recitation Miss Juanta Baker, solo Mrs. Bundick, saxophone solo, Mme. Cruger, accompanist, Miss Lotus, duet Miss Lotus and "I haven't the time" Take it. Ten very agreeable habit is formed. Let soft smooth skin of youth, hair and cannot procure the alcohol it may be omitted. I think it's well to state here that unless you are adept at managing it is better to apply the cold cream on skin food to the face by patting gently with the fingers. You need then have no fear of making lines instead of erasing them. Do not neglect the neck; treat it daily while arming the face. A rotary motion towards the back of the neck with the tips of the fingers should be followed to rub in the cold cream. The Eyes. Beautiful eyes are a gift of nature and it is for us to keep them so, or as beautiful as we can. As with other parts of the body, beauty depends upon health, and health upon care. The two arch enemies of the eyes are fatigue and dust. Do not read too much, and remember artificial light destroys the luster of the eye. The following is an excellent eye wash: Distilled water, one pint. Boracic acid, one teaspoonful. Apply with an eye glass. In conclusion let me add, eat proper food, drink plenty of water, take exercise, and make your slumber time count for beauty.

The highest function of citizenship is the casting of the ballot. Through the instrumentality of the ballot the voter records his opinion of the kind of government he has been getting and expresses either his satisfaction, or the other sentiment, by seeking to keep it in power or voting for its opponents. Criticism of official performance of party policy, not expressed through the ballot, prevents foraught. In order for the critic to make his criticism effective he must vote. And in order to vote, every citizen, male or female, should register. The dates for registration in New York City will be found elsewhere in this issue. Let every voter embrace the first chance to register and thus be in a position to cast a vote for good government on election day. WHY VOTE FOR COX? One of the Democratic dailies carried a news story last week telling about the annual convention of the so-called Ing dependent Colored Voters of America, with 1500 men and women present, at a church in Newark. The fact that the Rev. Sylvester L. Corgershis presided is an index to the character of the gathering. Mr. Corgershis is unceased as "an accelerator of public opinion to order, but as to carrying any votes, that is another thing. At all events Mr. Corgershis was reported as saying: "It is time for us Negroes to stop being the yellow hands of the Republican Party and being kicked around. We should become bulldogs and back Negroes have wasted too many years believing their entire salvation rested with the Republican Party." Resolutions were also passed indorsing the candidacy of Governor Cox and maintaining Senator Harding. What the Negro voters of New Jersey were expected to gain by the election of Gov. Cox as President was not clearly stated. Whether Mr. Cox can be expected to revere the policy adopted by Mr. Wilson as to the color line in government service, to single out one detail of that policy, does not appear. It will known that under the Wilson administration it has become the unwritten law of the civil service that no Negro shall receive a salary of more than $1,000. (In fact one commission placed limit at $1,200.) Nor must a Negro office holder be placed in a position of authority over a group of white employees, no matter how great his ability and experience. Under the former Republican administrations there was no deadline of this character to stile and kill the ambition of colored men and women who entered the public service. Employees were used as to their ability and experience and by degrees were coming to occupy more important positions, through the course of promotion. The position of the Democratic party award the Negro in a national way is controlled by the South. Not the South a whole, but by that small portion the South that makes its living out politics with the hard and fast policy of "keeping the Negro down." A prominent Democratic leader in the mid-West denied this situation as told: "It is hard to control the elements our party who are hardheaded against the Negroes, for they cannot be ignored. The members of the party figure this question upon a simple basis, provide proof, and give solid for any Democratic candidate, is worth more to us than the Negroes on earth. Consequently, those of us who feel kindly toward the Negro, are led to throw them in the discard in order to satisfy the element of the party that is This is the reason why Northern Democrats are disposed to encourage Socialist propaganda among Negroes, even to the extent of subduing those among the race who will lend themselves to the task of acting as decoys for this purpose. Concerning this phase of the campaign this same Democrat was quoted with almost brutal frankness as follows: "Some activities have been inaugurated to interest the Negro in the Socialist party. Well, of course, every time we can get any Negro to vote any ticket aside from the Republican ticket, it is in our favor. In this event, as in all recent cases, Socialist leaders always helped the Democrats. With the Socialists out of the conest in 1916, we could not have won the election of Wilson." Mr. Corrothers must be given credit for going directly to his object by advocating the support of Gov. Cox, instead of seeking to lead his followers through the circumsious route of socialism. But in view of the awful load he has to carry in the burden of the obvious practices of the present administration, we do not think he will gather many votes. Mr. Corrothers has our pity, if not our sympathy. FIRST-CLASS AMMUNITION. The Boston Herald, one time the leading exponent of Mugwumpism, now almost extinct as a political doctrine, thinks that Editor Villard of The Nation has done Mr. Harding an excellent service by supplying him with some ammunition in regard to "what appears to be flagrant violation of the Constitution by the present administration." It specifies as follows: "For the past three weeks, Mr. Villard has been running in *The Nation* a series of articles on 'Self-Determining Haiti,' by James Weldon Johnson, former American consul in Nicaragua. According to the writer, our government is responsible for such a state of affairs in Haiti as a wretched and unsuccessful administration to clear up has been created; practically a conquest of the country, continued in a military occupation, enforcing the arbitrary activities of an 'advisory' service of civilians from the states. This service is packed with deserving Democrat practically all of their former ties to the last persons temperamentally fitted to deal with a foreign Negro population; running true to form by openly despising the public in whose midst they live." The soundness of the *Herald*'s characterization of the service rendered not merely to Mr. Harding, but to the great American people and to humanity at large by Mr. Johnson's expose of the rape of Haiti, cannot be questioned. But the concluding comment of the *Herald* as to the personality of the writer is calculated to arouse some reflection. It says: "Mr. Johnson writes so uncommonly well and so strongly as to make a reader curious as to his antecedents. He is a colored man of southern birth and university education; an editor, author, linguist; a poet, playwright and novelist. If his novel, *The Autobiography of an American Collector*, then is his fellow author, Charles W. Chesnutt, he must be of the grade of color practically indistinguishable from white." Those who are applauded with Mr. Johnson know that he is not "of the grade of color practically indistinguishable from white" but even if he were, how would it affect the strength of the case he has made out against the oppressors of Haiti? Must a writer of the Negro race who "writes so uncommonly well and so strongly" necessarily "he of the grade of color pratically indistinguishable from white?" The Heard should have learned by this time that the color of the skin has nothing to do with the quality of the intellect behind it. TRYING TO SAVE THE SOUTH. TRYING TO SAVE THE SOUTH. That efforts are not altogether lacking on part of both races in the South to save that section from being completely submerged beneath the waves of molph violence and lynch law is made evident from time to time. Despite the fact that but little substantial result has so far been manifested in response to their appeals, these devoted advocates of justice and the upholding of the law continue their efforts to save the civilization of the section with unabated real. Corpseions among those members of the race who have an abiding faith in the desire and ability of the better white element of the South to preside in the struggle against lynching and mob rule is Mr. Charles Bank's of Monod Bayon, Miss. Time and again he has urged the giving of publicity to the position being taken by the white Southeners in addresses and editorials against lynching, and the infiltration among men of influence and affairs to come out openly and strongly to justice, a square deal and the opportunity 'for the Negro in the South. Recognizing the expediency of the policy urged by Manks and the great good that would follow all genuine start on the part of the white South to ready its internal civil in its own way and through its own instruments, Tina A. has headed with encouragement every originating of Southern press and pulpit pointing in this direction. We take occasion in how to welcome and reproduce a significant denunciation of mob rule by Bishop Tresdore Dallam Braxton of the Episcopal diocese of Mississippi, which the Jackson Dr. Gaye, one of the leading diaries of the State endorsed this trial as "an imposition of the attitude on the law concerning unlawful possession of property." Bishop Braxton was quoted as follows: "Lynching is an infuriating crime of lawless broadside. It is willful and THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1939 in, whether realm or not, a disguise of the incredulity of life. As resorted to in our mind, it is probably a practical expression of unshield in the humanity of the Negro; and the Creation of the Relative well with the assertion that "God hath made of one (bloqd) all the nations of men." "At one time resorted to for the one crime of rape, it has flow come to be used in the case of many lesser crimes. An example in point is the lynching briefly and casually taken out of the 29, of two Negro prisoners in Corinth for knocking their guard down (not killing him) and attempting their escape the notice concluding by saying that one of them had no part in the attack upon the guard. Let this brutal barous, violence, malice be resorted to, violence a deed which every officer of the law knows may happen at the hands of prisoners, and for which he is ever prepared. I have no patience with any newspaper which can publish such an atrocity without one syllable of condemnation. If we have a rape, lynching has no defense, and I can never believe that the women of our South can want such a protection at the cost of law and order and the safety of society and government. It is a protection which does not protect. It is a protection which good people, men and women alike, have. "It is high time that law-abiding and liberty-loving people proclaim their condemnation of this base form of barbarism and banish from our borders this disgrace upon China. The blood of blood is characteristic of the jungle, the lust of revenge of the savage." No stronger indictment of the crime of mob murder could be framed than this delicacye or a Christian preacher from the pulpit on a Sunday morning. Nor is there any reservation in the editorial endorsement by the Negus. It concedes the justice of the indictment and points out the following facts: "The Negro race is a race of human beings, entitled to the same humitarian considerations, as any other race. The Negro affects our every day life. He is a part of us and we are part of the world. He is linked in-eparably with the degeneration or the advancement of the white man. The Negro is brought up under the same environment in which we live, he is taught the same ideals of living, he reads the same textbooks, our school cherishes the same flag, and worships the same flag, and worships the same God. "The peaceful Negro has no patience with the lawless element of his race. He is as ready as the white man to take a determined stand against those who violate the laws of the state and whose deeds will in underwriting personally the crime for which many Negroes have been mobbed it is difficult, perhaps, for some of us to refuse to countenance mob action, we know that it is inexcusable under any consideration and that swift and sure punishment should be met out on both hands and commit crimes in the name of law and order which are fitting only to the most savage of races." In view of such strong pronouncements as the above, and many that have preceded them, it is not surprising that some disappointment should exist among those who have counted upon an immediate popular response to such sentiments that would reveal itself in some active movement to curb the excesses of the mob spirit. Undoubtedly the speakers' and writers' of expressions against lynching and mob law are sincere and earnest in their utterances, but the practical response to their pleadings is slow to come. Nevertheless, every effort on the part of the Southerners of both races to try to save the South to civilization is to be commended. The South should respond to its true leaders and purge itself of lynching and mob violence. GIRLS REPUBLICATORY NEEDS. Since the late troubles at Bedford Reformatory, when the female occupants of that institution were reported in a state of result and rioting, measures have been initiated to bring about certain reforms in the management which would tend better to carry out its purposes. A new acting head has been appointed and an effort has been made to secure such changes in the way of skilled assistants as to strengthen the work of the institution. The work of the Bedford Reformatory is one that is greatly needed for a great community like New York, where the number of delinquent girls and women passing through the courts may be sent for corrective treatment. This treatment in order to be effective must be entrusted to persons in sympathy with the work and trained in the methods that have been tried and proved. To attract this order of trained workers, the State should provide adequate salaries, and furnish the necessary equipment and keep it up to date. There is no need for any policy of segregation based on race or color in a work of this character. It may be necessary in the administering of corrective treatment and mental and moral training to separate the inmates into groups based upon their experience and adaptability. But there is no sure way to create groups like those of the past to raise needless harriers of race or color. Among the ordinary worker, on the board of managers of Bedford, who has sought to bring harmous out of chaos, credit is the Mrs. Hakes Fisk for her unilogging efforts to bring about an effort and progressive administration. The Missing Contractor adjusts that it is involved over the question as to whether the coloured people have to commend themselves and costly concern over the country every year. With the usual norms conditions, the convention is legal. Everyday. The goal is that all a real purpose in the board of managers of Bedford are few and insecure. HARMONY IN WORK. Some recent impressions have revealed an apparent impulse of harmony in the workings of the Kensington Man's Christian Association located in Harlem. A reported disagreement as to details of policy has resulted in the resignation of two of the most efficient workers in the 135th Street Branch. Those who resigned were J. C. Wright, director of the Educational department and William B. West, head of the Religious department. These two workers came to New York with the best of records and the highest testimonials of fitness for the work is so clearly defined as that purpure evidence has been produced to show that they have not measured up to the requirements of the association. The causes assigned for their separation from the work are merely spoken of as growing out of a general disagreement as to the policy of this branch association. Now, where the policy of the general work is so clearly delined as that pursued by the Y. M. C. A. and its branches, there should be no room for a disagreement among its workers of so serious a mature as to cause the resignation of two efficient helpers. There is evidently need for better team work among the members of the board of managers and the executive officers. There should be opportunity afforded for the discussion and ventilation of various opinions as to all phases of the work, and the amicable adjustment and agreement upon a settled policy which would tend toward the greater usefulness of the institution. Every man engaged in the Y. M. C. A. work should hit his step and avoid harsh criticism. Let harmony and progress be the watchword, with a square deal for every worker. The following suggestion has been offered by the Savannah Journal. "One of the best organizations that could be formed among the colored people who have gone North would be noon hour lectures to these laborers by noted, colored or white men upon the necessity of efficient labor. In view of the fact that most of our people have not been trained to read regularly a course of lectures along the time indicated would serve them the best." The doctrine of efficiency cannot be too thoroughly incubated into those entering into competition with Northern labor. The practicability of this suggestion might be tested, through some of the various racial welfare agencies. Commenting on the Democratic charge that the Republicans have been raising a campaign fund of millions of dollars to buy the presidency, the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch says: "Candidate Cox and his actions remind us very much of the story of an old southern mountaineer, who one day walked into a black smith shop and slapped his bare feet down on his hot slats of iron. I am熟 raw burgery; with the old Tennessee, after a time, with never a thought that was his own tough calloused foot that was being carged with heat." The Dispatch argues that as "All Republicans and their district run are going to vote the ticket straight this year, without being bought, it must be that Mr. Cox's fears are that the Republicans will be able to purchase Democratic henchmen. A sad commentary on the Democratic candidate's faith in his own followers. --- Because they have this summer "snatch-off publicity in great big gatsby," Harold M. Kingsley makes an interesting study of two contrasting types of Negro leadership as embodied in Marcus Garvey and Henry Lincoln Johnson, which was published in the Mobile Weekly Press. The writer's conclusion is: "Each is worth studying in the great movement forward of the Negro where men are no longer supermen, but men are contented of learner strings and determinations. Garvey or Johnson, take both or either, they are powerful personalities expressing a deem and powerful race life, that must be relied on in the world history." The publicity accrued the things of an individual does not always attest the depth or importance of the impression he will leave in the world history. Nicky Montgomery and Point of Boston also grabbed some publicity this summer, but have fallen into the discard since. Under the headline, "White Men Lynch'd," the following news men was printed in some of the New York daily last week. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 14—Albo Woodham, white, waslynched both night near Harried, Ala., because of remarks he made to a white woman. Thelynching of white men is not an unheard of thing even in the South, but in former instances the cause assigned were of a graver nature than "remarks made to a white woman." That offence was considered a case for killing only when the offender was a Negro. Is the mob getting color blind? According to the Memphis Times it is said that 20000 Mexicans are to be imported and distributed in various parts of the South, public to fill the vacancies made by the migration in Negroes. To meet this condition the Times says: We must more and more for ourselves in a business of our own make places for our children, our farms, girls and cow maids. We must be at once to build up each other. We have made many a fortune with. How often have we built up the places of latrines by New York and purified our money with a measure of cash as nothing in return. The Age Readers' Forum The Half-Century Magazine, published in Chicago, is using the term "Liberian" to apply to members of the race who were born in America. The reason assigned for this is because no many object to the term Negro. The euphony of the substitute is not sufficient to recommend it, and at first glance it looks like a misprint for "Liberian" or "Liberian." According to the Savannah Journal the coloured women of that city have been manifesting an interest in the meetings held under the auspices of the League of Women Voters and qualifying for the franchise in a manner that is breeding unrest among the men of the race. Many of the latter are reported to be inquiring as to the requisites for registration, who could not before be start PERMANENCY. I believe that for every well-trained, industrious, efficient, law-abiding, self-specting Negro there is to be had somewhere a permanent position in such conditions under which such a Negro with his family can serve, give God and develop in peace. This permanent position must be CONQUENDED BY BEQUILTED BY GEORGE W. BOUNTY. "GOOD MORNING, JUDGE!" Man Fined $50 and Costs for Saying "Good Morning" to Woman. I know you will not want to believe it—and it is to your moral credit that you and such a thing hard for your mind to conceive. I would not mind it if I had not been there. I dropped into Wesleyan School on Tuesday, on Wednesday, the court of justice convened. A white man and his wife were prosecuting a colored man, and I give you here the exact testimony and facts, so help me God! 1. The colored man and the white woman were both employees in a tobacco factory. 2. The white woman testified that STRETCHED OVER A PERIOD OF TWO OR THREE MONTHS, the colored man had spoken to her THREE separate times, as follows: (a) He had once said "good morning," as she passed him to enter the factory. (b) On another occasion he had "nudged his head," as he passed him. The woman had "nudged" to the court and it looked like a mere Southern "howdy-do." (c) On another occasion he had asked: "Do you work in the factory?" Thus had the Negro "annoyed" her for three months, but she did not get port it to her husband till "last Saturday." She had no idea that he had ever indicated that he married man that she did not want to hear him say "good morning." Being pressed for more by the judge, who had evidently already made up his mind, she thought she remembranced the Negro woman time-and-place whether he swore at her, for he did so with his back to her, in the public street. A. The colored man's witnesses, including his white employees, testified that he was of good character, and hawked his money, knew him; that he never known to swear in five years; that he was industrious; and that he had never been in trouble before. Colored people testified that he is a member in good standing in a Baptist church, and that he was well-known and respected, no one else that ever heard him. The white attorney precrutical the colored man, made the usual appeals to race prejudice, paying little attention to the facts and testimony, and the colored attorney made a plea for the defendant. Then Judge, who had managed against all along, this displeased justice: "That's the sort of thing that more lynching I can't give you on the more under a city ordinance so I fine you the limit -" And after His Honor had thus delivered himself to the gallery, and to the white world at large, he leaped older and whispered to both the attuness "He can eat that half—let him pay twenty five dollars and costs." Now, why did not the Negro "appeal"? Because he is a poor man and it was cheaper to pay the thirty-four dollars and some cents than to pay even the lawyer's fee in appeal. Why did he do this? Because he was unblinding, not justice, but white supremacy—he was condemning, not this more brown man, but this race. Justice is secondary to race prejudice. You can see too, that whether he so unjustly held brown men, or really held brown men the words would mean to all ill-trained man who sat in the audience, I have not the power to punish this Negro as he deserves; the limits set by the law restrain me, he ought to have more punishment. Victor Salem Now see how the Winston-Salem Journal reported this trial next morning LIGHTS AND SHADOWS POLICE COURT "Olear Gayman, colored, charged with insulting a white woman, was given the full penalty under the city ordinance, the limit being $50 and the cost, $100. He had badly and insulted her by signs on several occasions. The defendant went on the stand and testified that he had not cursed an oath in five years and that he was a faithful member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. He sigged as he believed, availed him to as the character witnesses introduced by the defendant knew very little about the Negro." WILLIAM PICKENS. New York City. MORE ABOUT CIVILIZATION IN WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Where Colored Man Was Finel $30 and Costs for Saving "Good Morning" to White Woman. In Winston-Salem, N. C., they do not allow any colored witness in court to lay his hand on the Bible on which white is written. It makes no difference that the witness, white and colored, may be given the same at different times. there is a special Bible for colored wit. The unmistakable Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Metropolitan Episcopal Church, has adopted a modern form of make-up, consisting of sixteen pages of convenient size for handling. The Recorder is now in the sixty-eighth year and, shows a lifelong interest in the affairs of the denomination, as well as in the social letterment of the race in Philadelphia. Says the St. Louis Argus. The ballot is a mighty weapon of defense. It is the Negro race that needs the defense in America. Being prepared for the use of the ballot lies solely in being registered and on the registration books. A plain truth, so plainly stated that no man nor woman should fail to realize its meaning. Thus is God insulted and His Word abused in this mockery of justice. The impression is created at the very beginning that the colored witness is in different footing in court, that of the white man who has always held the administrators of the law and the white man who is 'UP', are the real lynchers; for they create the atmosphere which the ignorant mob-mebred inhales; the upper white man makes the lynch into a lynchable article in the lower, to mind an idea of the sub-humanity. When an ignorant white man sees that the court swears in the Negro on a separate Bible, and in so far as possible before a罪 rate god, that ignorant man is a clever conceive the idea that it is less lenient to lie in that court when the Negro's inter- cats. This is a place there is a city hospital, supported by the taxes of all the people. To this hospital a colored physician may carry his patient, but he must stop at the door. He must remain outside while the young white doctors butcher his patient without witnesses. No wonder that Southern colored-folk regard pits with such a superstition and unreable ability. Many people have noticed that colored people in the South generally regard "hos-spitals" as the last place to go before death, as卧 of anterooms to the grave In this little metropolis of North Carolina, colored men are expected to take off their hats when a white woman or any class is in the elevator, but men keep their hats when the woman wears them. When both a white and colored woman are in the elevator, the white man take off their hats, but if the white woman gets out first, they immediately put their hats on again for the rest of the journey—to make sure that there will be no mistake as to their destination. The Salem is about the greatest tobacco-mart in the world and the smell of the raw weed covers the whole city and beyond its borders. One or the greatest est tobacco merchants who made their businesses chiefly through the personal familiarity of the planters, plucked and rolled this weed for a generation, recently bought from an old colored man on the edge of the town 160 acres of land for $800. That is 85 per acre. When he "bought" it, five years ago, land was sold to a selling company for $150 or $200 per acre, and in each for $100 to $100 per acre. It was a most picturesque piece of land on which the white has built a fine estate. He has salved his conscience and faced up the appearance of the thing giving the old colorized man of life"—a one room log in the edge of the woods, and the old man is employed, whose shape, as "utility man" about the grounds. A civilization that "wears" a colored witness on a separate Bible will of course permit an aged man to be robbed as no old white man could be robbed. The governor of North Carolina should lay less street on the contrary than the governor of justice. WILLIAM PICKENS.

"I believe the Negro citizens of American should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their citizenship is blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all the rights of opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, unaware of 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 to make it operative—but the 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 unlawful. 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 sentient command, but perversive and evasion mark the paths to the failure of government itself."

Has 1st Scholarship Benefit The beautiful Casino Theatre, one of the Shadert houses, at 39th street and Broadway, presented an unusual appearance on Sunday evening, September 26, for that time it was well filled, from orchestra to second balcony, with hundreds of beautiful and attractively jawed women of the Negro race, accompanied by well dressed and funk-appearing men, the occasion being the first public effort of the Fisk University Club of Greater New York to enlist the aid and support of the people. For the purpose a musical program of music and interest had been arranged, with R Augustus Lawson of Hartford, Conn., pianist, and a distinguished graduate in music from Fisk University, as the most important participant, from a musical standpoint. The principal heart interest, however, centered around Little Lyda Mason, also a painter, who has been selected by the Fisk Club as the recipient of its first full term collegiate scholarship at Fisk University. Miss Mason was on the program in a solo number and also as accompanist in another number. The large audience gave her a sincerely hearty greeting and was sympathetically bound by the excellence of her playing Her self-possession and self-control were never more in evidence, and they were qualities vitally necessary. Being the center of interest and the object of attention such as she was given was calculated to shake the nerve and destroy the spirit of a much more experienced and seasoned performer than Miss Mason. There was an entire absence of self-concept in her bearing and manner, and it was the same modest, retiring and unassuming little girl we have always been accustomed to who smilingly, bowed her thanks to the audience for their cordial welcome. They she sat down to the piano and died as though it was the most ordinary occasion instead of perhaps the most Second Folk-Song Festival at Detroit by Mme.Hackley Curt in Detroit, Michigan, on Monday evening, September 20. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley presented her second folk-song festival to the people of that city, the program that night constituting the first part of a two nights' effort, the second part being presented on Monday night, September 27. J. Carter Bryant has written an account of the affair for this column, giving insight the happenings of the first evening's program and paying a deserved return to the work of Mme. Hackley and her achievements in the way of developing Negro music. I have written in this column on numerous occasions the influence exerted by Mme. Hackley on the music-life of the race, both in development and expression. Whatever others have accomplished there is evidence that great credit belongs and must always be given to this enable and helped woman. Father O'Keefe, priest, of the Raman Catholic church of St. Benedict the Most, in West Third street, in whose path she was born and in whose church she was reared, way on the stage and introduced Miss Mason to the audience. He told most interestingly of how he had been called to the Mason home by reason of sickness in the family. Lyda was only about five years old, and she hovered her at the piano poked out on the keys and singing the old johns. Neaker, my God, Tooth and how in order to reach the pals, he had to slide down from the floor to the floor. Dr. Matthew V. Boutte, formerly a citizen in the A. E. F. in France, is president of the Fok University Club of New York, and he introduced Dr. H. E. Dubois, a former Fiskian, to preside over ceremonies. Dr. Dubois and relentlessly told of the work and arms of the members of its board what they hoped to accomplish. One of American Minimary Association which led founded Fisk University and furnishes its main support to serve during the evening in the club's scholarship fund, and directed a collection which was gifted to our girls. The musical numbers were announced by the master of ceremonies, and the program was to be read with appreciation to the audience. Miss Andreea Lindsay is a Fisk graduate, at the Darmosch Institute of Music Art, opened the program to the Schlumberger-Littel number, Miss Hark the Lark, a composition to be somewhat beyond the operative powers. Miss Mamie is sung delightfully Sanchez, Carvalera, Cecena, known as mother of violinists, showed young violinist, David S. New role—that of accommodation.

Hardly filling the people of these areas. mother of mine." The composer was at the piano and shared with the singer the cordial reception given the songs. Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Charlton were programmed, as accompanies for Maria Johnson in her numbers, but for some reason not given Miss Lindsay was substituted. Marion Cumbo, violencefool, a student with Willieke, and formerly a member of the Mason-Smith Triq—made up of the Mason, Willieke, and Tim as violencer, Curtio, coelio, and Lydia Mason, pianist,—gave as his contribution to the program Bacchian's "Symphonic Variations." He has technical facility and is a young artist of composition. Miss Mason's number was Chopin's "Scherzo," opus 4, and she played splendently. She has the skill which makes light of difficulties, and so it is possible for her to full rein to the composer's heart and belly out clearly the idea of the composition. Mr. Lawson gave two groups, the first being two McDowell compositions, "Novelletie" and "Improvisation," and the second compositions, the familiar "Value" in "In the Garden" and "Exude." His second group was composed of a "Gavette" in D by Glazumow, "By the sea," by Arenky, and Moskowski's "Spanish Cepice." These compositions were made possible by that Mr. Lawson is master of his instrument and some of them were of sufficient magnitude to call for an exhibition of some power of technique. The Mountains offer an opportunity in this direction, but I must confess to a little disappointment. The numbers he gave were delightfully entertaining but there might have been a bit of more solid palumba offered along the lighter stuff. Artists of smaller capacity continually bombard us with Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, and others of the more intellectual masters of the world. To give an interesting interpretation, So I was hoping that Mr. Lawson might include in his program at least one number that would take us into the higher realms and furnish food for thought and reflection. That he did not see fit to do this is, of course, his own matter, and he may have been controlled by reasons amply sufficient as to himself. The little glimpse of his powers vouchsafed on Sunday evening has served one purpose: to awaken aroused and insistent desire to hear Mr. Lawson in a real recital program, a program consonant with his ability and attrainment. Arrangements for this benefit affair were in charge of a committee of which Mrs. Edwin F. Home of Brooklyn is the chairman; Mrs. Emah Rochon Bouchier, the president; Mrs. Linda Kearns for Negro Relief; in the associate chairman; others on this committee are Frank J.

When the musical history of the Negro in written there will be no page fuller of historic effort, of uniting real, and of drama accomplished than the page fuller of the musical history of the African Heart of Africa. Asaulah Hickey, the pioneer in the pushing forward of (Negro) Music in America and the world. Mine. Hackey through her labors has done much toward creating a race consciousness of the Negro. Negro music has a great way she has shaped the musical department of every Negro institution in the country of any note. My object is to tell you something of the magnificent musical festival of Monday, September 20. The program rendered was as follows: Folk Song: "I Know the Lord". Make quartet—CLEF CLUB: "Music in the Mine" (Dett). BENEZERE A. M. E. CHOIR: a. "Every Time I Feel the Spirit" (Diton) b. "Go Down Moses" (Burleigh). SECOND BAPTIST CHOIR: "Listen to the Lambs" (Dett). Folk Song: "Good News". FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHOIR: a. "Since You Went Away" (Johnson) b. "A Good Old Sisters Lament" SCOTT M. E. CHOIR: a. "Deep Rain" (BURCH), "There's a Bain" in Galeo." Song: "Exhortation" (W. M. Cook) Mr. L. D. COLLISON Folk Song: "Steal Away" Song::"Follow Me" (Delt) Miss CLEOTA J. COLLINS MISS CLEOTA J. COLEENS EBENZER A. M. E. CHOIR: a. "I'll Back (Dett) b. I'm So Glad (Dett) BETHEL A. M. E. CHOIR: "Wee- ping Mary" (Dett) Folk Song: "Swing Low, Sweet Char- ior" M. OLIVET BAPSTIST CHOIR: "Little David" (Ditem) b. "O Didn't It Rain" (Burleigh). CLEF CLUB: Chariot Jubike" (ex- cerp) (Dett) Folk Song: "There's A Meeting Here Tonight." Director Mrs. A. E. HACKLEY. One who knows anything about music knows that this was an ambitious program to undertake under the most favorable circumstances and to record that it was eagerly done speaks in glowing words for the musical stamina of our race. This festival was just an indication of what we might do musically through cooperation. It is Mrs. Hacka's wish, and I know it is the wish of every music lover, to see these choirs unite percussion and designate the present day to the works of Negrapo's producers. Detroit certainly would like to hear "HIAWAXA" by Coloridge, Taylor and the "CHARIOT JUBILATE" by Dett. The united choirs' singing of the folk songs "Roll, Jordan, Roll," Stile Away", and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", will linger in the memory of all. They are the Metropolitan opera, the Metropolitan opera, the Chicago opera and the Philadelphia Oratorio Society, which boasts of a thousand voices, but for tenal beauty I have heard nothing that compares with the united choirs of Detroit under the direction of Mine. Hackett's orchestra, the basses and contralto, softered by the softer tones of the sopranos and the tenors, sounded like one great symphony. Not like a symphony one hears nowadays, but one that is played on the basses and contralto, as this was heard by the shepherds, as of those who felt the very things they kept watch in the field near Bethlehem. These children, direct descendents sang, seemed to be animated by some superhuman power and with their voices lived over again those scenes of long ago. It is not safe to make comparisons for they often prove obvious: to compare the work of the different choirs would be a hard thing to do in a choir. The work of all of the choir showed careful training and hard conscientious effort. It is to be hoped that the choirs will come together at least once a year and give something else as well as they gave the festival of Monday. The choirs should be made of the work of the soloists and I shall try to give an idea of their work. Miss Cleota J. Collins. The star of the evening was Miss Collins. Miss Collins, aside from having a voice which ranks with the best in America, has a personality that wins you before she has uttered a soun. It had the pleasure of knowing Miss Collins when she was at the head of the music department of Bluefield Institute, West Virginia, and I, like many, thought that she has had a joyful and a vocal attainment was concerned, but when I heard Miss Collins on Monday night I was speechless. She has risen rapidly, through hard work, and stands to-day as the race's greatest dramatic soprano. Miss Collins holds a unique position in the musical life of the race, for, if I am not mistaken, she is the very first dramatic soprano of Miss Collins. Miss Collins, Hackley, Mme. Brown and Mme. Talbert, who have risen to dizzy heights of fame, have been coloraturists. Miss Collins came—aside from the programmed number—"Nobody Knows De Trouble I've Seen" by Clarence White and "Lil' Call" by Roxanne Johnson. The latter song was in direct contrast to the first two and Miss Collins' last song, which is only a singer but an interpreter as well. It is to be hoped that Mr. Anderson in his Aloeian concert will find it possible to bring Miss Collins to us at a later date. Mina Berthe Hansbury Miss Hammery, a graduate of one of the conservatories here, was at her best and showed herself to be an artist of great ability. She has what very few premises norms—that quality that is called soft. Miss Hammery entered into the space of her profession, and she actually mastered what an artist by conservatory must have learned the supernumerary. Miss Hammery's possessive yet witty wit, and her own brawny charm. Farmer's Extension Service For Alabama Rural Districts County Meetings Held Each Sunday by Members of U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and Workers From Tuskegee Inst. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is carrying out the policies of the late Booker T. Washington.

NEGRO BATTALION TO BE PART OF MASS N. G. Boston Mass.-The N. G. veterans of the world war have won their fight for a place in the new national guard, and the N. G. veterans of the announcement made last night by Adj. Gen. Jose F. Hewlett that a separate battalion of infantry would be assigned to it. It was first the intention of the war department to make them pioneer infantry troops. Units of this character were sent to the field, and engineers in the field, but it was feared by Negro soldiers who had been officers during the war, that they might be sent to the field, and labor companies. This was asserted at a hearing held before Gov. Coolidge a promised that everything would be done to give them infantry rating in the new table of state organization. Recruited from Boston and Cambridge, with home stations for the four companies in these two cities. A total of 1,000 N. G. veterans with the requisite number of officers. When half of this number is recruited, the guard will request federal inspection for induction into the service of the national guard of the United States. Then it will take on a new role to take or reject it. It is possible that the department will not change from its position of making Negro national guard units plowed in infantry. But the department will not change by federal government, the state is doing everything possible to recognize the right of the colored veterans to a place in the army. There are about 20 Negroes from Greater Boston who served as officers in the Army for certification of military missions in the national guard. It will then be for the federal inspectors to decide whether these men are sufficiently qualified to officer the new com The Negroes of Massachusetts have been represented in the national guard for 66 years and 6th regiment of infantry. This command was noted for its efficiency and bravery, and was nominated by the militia bureau of the war department that Negro infantry units are not to be included in the army of the enemy in considerable surprise.

"With that recklessness which is the excuse for loose thinking, apologize of the Democratic party have signified the Republican platform as 'functionary.' Like many another opinion, the term seeks to justify by above what I see as the right of the people to react. "It is that that in political affairs we would react from an era of extraterritorial Government; that in industrial relations we would react from an internationalist's obsession to intimate concern in our domestic problems, our home tasks; that in social matters we react from modelling of the public in the facts and causes. But, in all that matter for economic stability, for industrial justice, for social protest, the faces are toward the morrow. "The party of Lincoln and Roosevelt stands sharply aligned with its large traditions in that which teaches unity duty to train. Forward looking, progressive, constitutional government, successful of executive absolutism, it proclaims unifying allegiance to the great principles of justice and humanity upon which this Republic was founded, and from which, pray God, we shall never depart."

PENNY, Prop. 230 Albermarle Ave. Rocky Mount N. C. THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS The first dramatic offering of the season and the first in which the Lalapette players have appeared at the Lalayette Theatre for several months, will be presented to lower of the drama accompanying Monday, October 4. "The Crimson Alibi," which thrilled and held captive the undivided interest of thousands of the theatregoers during its long run at the Broadhurst Theatre, will be the attraction. It is one of those thrilling mystery plays in which a detective is the principal character. A man is killed in a dark room with a silver dagger he had kept on his deak as a paper knife. Several men had consistently good reasons to kill him. All were in a position where they could have committed the crime. There was nothing left to show who could have done it, but the detective found out. How he did it is what makes the play so interesting. The play, which is staged with a prologue, four acts and nine scenes, promises in every way to be one of the outstanding dramatic successes of the season at the Lafayette. The Quality Amusement Corporation has spared no expense in making this production an artistic success. It will be played by an all star cast. SMARTER SET IN LAST WEEK AT LAFAYETTE The Smarter Set in its new offering, "Bamboula," is in its second and last week at the Lafayette Theatre and continues to draw record-breaking crowds. S.

"Humoresque," presented first and exclusively on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week at the Lincoln Theatre, West 135th street, is among the big plaques of the year because it impresses one with its sincerity and intense 22 VERA GORDON in the Cosmopolitan Production HUMORESQUE A PARAMOUR AIRCRAFT POTENCE heart appeal. It is a story of human beings as they are. Tears and laughter intermingle in it as they do in real life. The story of the genius of the violin, who aided by that beautiful gift, mother-love, rose from obscurity and poverty to the heights strikes a responsive chord in every heart. "Humoresque" was adapted from Fannie Hurst's novel of the same name. The chief characters are portrayed with rare understanding by Alma Rubens, Gaston Glass, Vera Gordon and Dore Davidson.

All members of the society aided in the arrangements. The affair was well attended. A NEW BOXING CLUB TO OPEN DOORS IN HARLEM On the same site formerly held by the old 135th street A. C., Palace Casino Madison avenue and 135th street, but under different management, a new boxing club is planning to operate in Harlem as soon as the License Committee grants license. It is undoubtedly for regular use in the game that the element which formerly the sport under the old law when the 135th Street A. C., held away has been driven out of the pastime. The Commonwealth Sporting Club has for matchmaker Lew Raymond, a man well informed as to the relative ability of boxers throughout the country. When seen by representative of The Ace, Raymond promised to furnish some of the most attractive cards obtainable. While the club is located in a neighborhood inhabited almost entirely by our people, Raymond does not intend to cater to the Negro boxer any more than the white boxer, unless the former's ability such catering. In other words this club be used by the boxers in this vicinity for training quarters, but the boxers staged at regular intervals are to be of more than local importance. The best will be, sought throughout the country to exhibit their wares before patterns of this new sporting club. TEACHER OF MUSIC LEWIS, P. B. MUSIC MUSEUM Address: 100 W. 8th St. R. Y.

Waltersman HONOR STUDIO - 400 W. 30th St. R. Y. Cline, Fountain on Greenway Ideal T. C. Grounds Sold For Building Purposes Through real estate notices inserted in the daily papers we learn that three courts on the grounds held for the past few years by the Ideal Tennis Club have been sold by the people from whom the Ideal Club has annually leased. We have not been able to learn the intention of the purchasers, but it is the common belief that buildings of some sort are to be erected on the historic site. All of which means that local tennis players will be without a place of enjoyment next season unless they take to the public courts in city owned parks. This will mean an awful setback in the progress of Harlem tennis devotees. Tennis has progressed by leaps and bounds in this section owing to the central location and the accessibility of the Ideal Tennis Club's grounds. Its rapid development, furthermore, may be laid to the attraction of the passers-by, many of whom have been sufficiently interested from watching others to affiliate themselves with one of the four clubs playing on the 138th street grounds. It has been no trouble to the Harlem resident, whether he lived in 129th street or 142nd, to dress in tennis clothes and walk through the streets to this centrally located play ground and there get a few hours of genuine recreation. The oversubscribed membership of each club renting a court from the Ideal has proven the popularity of the sport and the appreciation by the players of the location of the grounds. Whether one has gone to play at sixthirty in the morning or three-thirty in the afternoon, he has seldom reached these grounds without finding some player on hand ready and willing to engage in a friendly game. More often, to the large membership of every club, and the shortage of playing space (only one court being allotted to a club except the deal, which has two), players have had to wait for a court upon reaching the grounds. It has been this close competition which has resulted in the rapid progress of New Yorkers in recent years. They should have an equal vote on all matters pertaining to the club. They should be allowed and elected to fill any office for which they seemed qualified. The freedom of the club should be theirs at all hours and we would see development in decent, respectable club life among our people herefore unequaled among other cities. Our Ace will be glad to receive opinions of its readers on this urgent subject. MOTHER ZION TENNIS CLUB STAGES TOURNEY. A church club which bids fair to Serious Setback. The passing of the Ideal Tennis Club grounds means probably a hull of one season in this growing sport, unless something is done in the near future to make the lease with the new holders of the property, or procure other grounds. The service granted to tennis players in public park courts by poorly paid attendants, is hardly sufficient to keep any player in condition for tournament play. These courts are rarely in condition more than three days a week and so numerous are the permits handed out by the Park Commissioners that a player is allowed on a court but one hour at a time. Making a trip from one's residence in Harlem to any public park whether it be Central, Franz Siegel or MacCoomba Dam in the Bronx, and being allowed to play but one hour is discouraging indeed, but making a trip and being told after play because a ground that you play because it is rained out before will so disgust the spirit until more convenient courts are provided. We have received suggestions to encourage local clubs to band together and purchase a desirable site in the Bronx for the building of up-to-date courts and the erection of a modern club house which will ever be a monument to the race and the fair city which local players represent. Why Go Out of Harlem? This thought is wonderful. It shows the bigness of the person who first advanced it masmuch as he realizes that we are not merely in this sport for a day not even a season. We are in the game for late or until it is proven detrimental to our mental and physical development. But, we ask, why is it necessary to leave Harlem to purchase a site for our enjoyment? Why go into a section where we are not wanted? True, if we refrain from going places because we are not wanted we will get off the earth, for we are scorned in our own locality and frowned upon even when we go into the ocean for a swim. Yet going into the Bronx will mean an expenditure of carate each time we wish to stroke a ball or witness a game of tennis. Most people we have approached on the subject have said that Harlem has no desirable place to offer. Those people seemingly have overlooked the grounds between 15th and 15th streets, between and including 8th and St. Nicolas avenues. This site is now being used by the Harlem Tennis Club, a white organization. This club has five of the most beautiful courts in New York on this piece of property. We learn that the Harlem Tennis Club rents these grounds for a song from its owner due to some friendly relations existing between him and some of the club's officers. Under no conditions could the owner be induced to leave these grounds to Negroes, yet he or his agents are willing to sell the whole block. Net Too Big. Purchasing a whole city block sounds like a wonderful big proposition and it is. Yet there are few propositions in this vicinity and for this vicinity that we consider too big for the two hundred thousand Negroes living here. We know nothing about the price asked for the square block, nor are we going to ask gest what it might be, but we believe Harlemites can get together and buy it. Let Out of Towners Help You. Then, too, the buying of this site need not be continued to Harlemines. We are sure that members of nearby clubs in Long Island, Brooklyn, Williambridge and the several towns in Jersey would feel slighted if they could not share in the ownership of such a notable place as this would surely become. A club house could be erected offering all of the luxuries which modern clubs owned by the other races offer to their members. Is Everybody Happy? You Tell 'Em!

They should have an equal vote on all matters pertaining to the club. They should be allowed and elected to fill any office for which they seemed qualified. The freedom of the club should be theirs at all hours and we would see development in decent, respectable club life among our people herefore unequalled among other races.

MOTHER ZION TENNIS A church club which bids fair to eventually battle with the famous St. Marks Tennis Club for leading position in the net game has come forth under the name of the Mother Zion Tennis Club. This organization is closely affiliated with the church in W. 150th street, after which it is named. Practically every member is a member or a frequent visitor to the 150th street office. Mother Zion Tennis Club is very fortunate in owning its own courts, which is located directly behind the church building. Members are supplied with keys and are permitted to themen, the theymen, except Sunday. This one fact has greatly increased their membership for many people who cannot arrange their time at work to make engagements with day workers get a chance to play when others are at business. Stages Annual Tourney. Recently Mother Zion Tennis Club staged its annual journey for the club championship in ladies singles and mixed doubles. Spirited games were witnessed in each of these events. One of the biggest surprises of the day was the victory over Mrs. B. Williams. The latter had been looked upon as a sure-winner. ner among her sex, but the clever Mrs. Augustus upset all predictions with her sturdy game. Mrs. Augustus gained a second victory in this tournament when teamed with Vincent Gulliver in mixed doubled, she and he comped away with that event. Gent's Finals Saturday: Finals in great singles and doubles will be played off Saturday, October 2nd, on the club court. Some lively playing is looked forward to. Mother Tionz Tennis-Club desires to invite all its friends to come and wincess the games free of admission. JINX! Last Sunday at McComb's Dam Park the Columbia Cubs played their thirteenth and last baseball game of the season. Their opponents were the Highbridge Nine—a white team. The Columbia Cubs lost one of the hardest games they have played this season with a close score, 6-5. In the first innning of the game Highbridge was leading with a score 20-10, but at the end of the seventh the Columbia Cubs were leading with the score 3-5; then followed the final eight. Highbridge filled the bases and every ball the Cubs pitcher threw against a stone before reaching the catcher's glove and skrocketed away from the catcher Highbridge scored 3 runs in this innning. This season the Columbia Cubs won 10 out of 13 games played, thus attaining an average of 725. For an amateur team and considering the teams they played, they have done splendidly. Due credit must be given Mr. Bourke, their manager, on the splendid way he managed the team, and also the rooters. The Columbia Lab will now turn out all of the materials it will manage its department this year. BORDENTOWN OPENS FOOTBALL SENSOR BORN STOWS, N.J. - The football season at the Bordentown industrial School opened last week with a game between teams comprised of last year's varsity and the new material made for this season. The White's known the Blues was captured by Sherman Cule, quarterback on last year's team. The newcomers, commonly called the "Whites" were led by John Watson, who showed a wonderful knowledge of the gridiron game. The Whites proved to be too sturdy for last year's Varsity and the latter went down to defeat after leading with a 6-0 score at the end of the first half. The Blues' downfall came during the third quarter, when Wheeler made long gains and Watson shot a clever forward pass to Lowe, who went over the Blues' line. The Whites added to this score and the final was Whites, 8; Blues, 6. LINCOLN GIANTS WIN TWO FROM TESEAU'S The Lincoln Giants outspored Teseau's Bears in both games of a double header attraction at Dyckman Oval last Sunday. In the first game, the Lincoln used two pitchers, Reavis, and their kingpin, Cyclone Joe Williams, while Wiley was on the receiving end. These select batteries held the heretofore for hard hitting Bears to one lone tally. Fullerton, the pitcher who a few weeks ago pitched a no hit, no run game, held the Lincoln to five lats, but they were bunched and netted the former colored champs two runs. The final score of the first game was Lincoln 2: Teseau's Bears. 1. Big J. Jesse Stearn started the second game for his hat but was pounded hard by Lincoln batman that he had to give way to Godfrey. The latter worked well during his sojourn in the box, not allowing the Lincoln's to score in the last four innings, but the lead gained by the colored team was more than Teseau's batman could overcome. Lincoln Giants 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 -2 5 TeslaBear Bears 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 8 Lincoln Giants 2 1 0 2 4 0 0 0 -9 14 TeslaBear Bears 0 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 -5 12 Local Tennis Players Have Easy Time Playing to Victory Miss DeLoach and George Smith Graduate from "Ham" Class by Winning Annual Tourney. Close after the national championships in tennis each year self-appointed committees invariably headed by Charlie Knowles, the well-known real estate man, plan and promote what they term a "Mam Trophy", so termed because no player of recognized ability is permitted to enter. Local enthusiasm runs high each year in this annual classic which helps largely to settle who is the best among the worst racket wielders of New York. Variety of Prizes Added tone has been given to this event each year by the thoughtful Mr. Knowles humorous manner in selecting the prizes. We have been informed that the winner last year received a genuine Smithfield ham. A rumor was about that similar prizes were to be distributed this season but following on his custom Mr. Knowles foiled the crowd when he made this year's race a real classic, presenting each winner with a hand-made cup Mr. Knowles was rendered splendid, assistance in securing these prizes by Counselor H. E. Hupaice Williams, a royal tennis devoiler. The work of chief referrer was splendidly taken care of by L. E. Spooner, president of Grenville Tennis Club. Miss DeLoach Wins In ladies singles Miss Julia DeLoach, formerly of Montclair, N. J. but now of Harlem, came through a winner after having battled with ladies who seemed destined to beat her. Miss DeLoach's hardest games were played against Mrs. Theresa Brooks Alston and Miss Beatrice Moore. Both of these ladies won the first set from Miss DeLoach in their respective matches, only to be overcome by the sturdy Harlem girl in the contest for two sets out of three. Judging from Miss DeLoach's end-of-the-season form, she should surely make rapid strides in big tennis circles next season. Few players of her sex are more consistent than she. Inasuch as she never rushes net, her game is almost purely defensive as her drives from the base line are not of the powerful variety like those of Mottie Wade. George Smith Victor From the beginning of the tourney George Smith of the Ideal Tennis Club was looked upon by those in the know as the most likely winner in singles. Some few argued that Alexander, who was in another bracket, would overcome this chop stroke player. True to expectations Smith breezed through the other contestants easily. Alexander of St. Mark's Tennis Club never reached the finals, having suffered a neat trimming at the hands of Townsend of the Ideals. The latter really proved himself the dark horse of the tournament as he had not been looked upon seriously by the other contestants. Townsend upset all dope, however, by reaching the finals after disposing of Alexander and Clark and some few others. In the finals Smith completely outshone his clubmate, Townsend, not allowing the latter to score a set. This proved the victor out of his class when matched with Hams. Therefore he, like the other winner, Miss DeLoach, were given certificates to prove that they are players of the first order. ever loving cup as did Mrs. Teeling who won the mixed doubles match in a partner of Smith's. Tested by Alexander Smith also won the doubles event in an awfully castable. The "Ideal Man" should therefore have received three cups he had to go with two and a promise to win a third as Mr. Morgan, an amateur of Harlem's popular real estate business, refused to carry out his promise and donate a cup. Mr. Morgan decided on the way following the chief referee's decision to detail him for not showing up four days had passed to play in first round. Some little ill feeling was arrived against Mr. Morgan by his act of getting the committee did in no way urge him to live up to his promise if he was against his principle. NEW YORK COLORED Through the untiring efforts of Jesse Garland, one of the first colored men to take a live interest in golf in the country, there has been founded a permanent organization for Negro golfers of New York known as the New York Colored Golfers, or N.Y.G. Through last recently organized, the organization, has membership to what would be justice to the Negro existence. Among the golf clubbers are Lawrence Foster, Dale Bremner, Jesse L. Garland, Arthur C. Gibbs, Maton and Herbert Young. For the most important offices of president and secretary, these men have elected Jesse Garland and Foster, respectively. In all likelihood, the New York City-founded Golfers of America are devoted for an eventful and pleasant life. Members of this club showed wonderful devotion to this game in hgone days when they regularly journeyed all the way to Van Cortlandt Park to indulge in round two with a friend or new acquaintance, and oftimes alone, with an organization formed, these long-nouns should become a thing of the past. One of the benefits afforded to the organization should be the aid should offer its members in making engagements with one another. There is no doubting the fact that competition will improve these players' game. Two of their members, Aaron and Gibbs, have already proven this with their regularly weekly matches. When these men are started their rounds were made in their figures and only through consistent practice did they finally get down to 92. Latest reports from their most recent matchs Aaron with an 82 and the fast improving Gibbs with an 86. With players of this calibre on the roll, and with a little perseverance the New York Golfers' are bound to succeed. The whole world likes a wager and these boys are sure to develop and continue to improve their present rate. On September 29th they played at inter-club tournament. St. Christopher High Field Day at New York A.C.Games Relay Team Wins First and Second-Parker and Anderson Auto Prize Winners also, and Boston Wins High Jump Scoring 24 points in the track and field and ice and being beaten only by the New York Athletic Club with its heavy Olympic and college champions, the St. Christopher Club of scoring young athletes put over the highest impressive performance that he has ever seen in ground circles since the palely days of the Salem-Crests and Smart St. Club, where nine-limited representative teams first, two seconds and a third at the Fall games of the K.Y.A. C. contested at Traverse Island Saturday afternoon, Sept. 25. Parkin Scores Impressive Victory. The first 5 points were scored for the Palm Beach boys when Wim S. Parker, the elongated discuster, who has turned out to be the sensation of a bury track season, breached in an easy winner of the 1000 yard handicap, off the Ward mark. Impressed with the big game in which Palm Beach won 54 run at the Bay Area Gymnasium the week before, Matthews had honored his handicap from the limit of 55 to 85 yards in Saturday Face. This proved no obstacle whatever, for Parker jumped in with a twenty yard cut in theorking time of 2:19 2-5. Anderson Takes. Second in 51-18. Weight. Not in our outdoor by his clubmate, Off Mitchell who showed up the Olympic Committee for not sending him to Ashep to his hollow victory in Liyang China. Thus J. Anderson, the valiant of the St. C. Club, who was determined against the Olympic committee, proceeded to show why he should have been sent to Liyang. "Babe" McDonald the eight throw and took first ON THE CURVER PATH ON THE CINDER PATH. There must have been some foundation for the charges made by the Olympic team for the Committee did not handle the Olympic team as they should and that the transportation and housing facilities provided for the team were abominable. When a prominent figure in athletics at Bartow S. Weeks is involved in obstructing or obstructing these charges, the athletics must have been punished in all the kicking they did. There will doubt be many other officials deposed, the annual meeting of the National Amateur Athletic Union to be held in New Orleans. It is a pity that more of our people down attend the athletic meets in which the young athletes of our race take part. There is nothing that will land no much engagement to a runner as the cheers of a friendly audience. But when up percent of a crowd is reoting against the end even hurling mandating epilesis in the present there isn't much induction for the colored athlete to train hard for competition. Such a performance is a lot of the St. Christopher Club in the N.A.U.s games on Saturday should be a been witnessed by hundreds of our race. But there were not more than 25 endled people in the crowd of eight or ten thousand present. And most of these were ex athletes' Let's hope that the covered sport lovers will come out and report to athletes of their race in the run in these meets. Rev. Mose is just beginning to show some of the form that made him the speed king in 1915. His race in the first year of 1920 yd. dash at Travers and was a native performance. Howt I drew was scheduled to start the race but failed to put in his With India Population, the old Salem and with him along, Padmore of New York would be about "ready" when the great "champs" roll around. Padmore showed a nice hit of running in with at the New York's. New Hampshire Masthews told Bill Lewis he would likely be running in his next race. Parker then got back to basket-ball. The team ran as he did on Sat- ter there are doubleshots in who are hoping Parker will win it in Indiana. Boston of Alpha has evidently not made differences with the Eng- lancey, as he represented Minnesota when he won the high league title and he has received to quit the club he has relied on to send him to the National in Boston last July. Peter Williams or St. Christopher died for the poor race at the Harlem- high games by running rings around the field, injured in the second Victory. Williams did about 10 hours in bringing the fifty yard hole to his tram. THREE OHIO GOLFERS ON VISIT TO NEW YORK Not until after they, and gutted out of them and on this way bent to their knees did we learn that the Mice Are McLean and Malcolm Murray of Dover Ohio and Lester, P. V. Bile of Dover Ohio had been in our school through Eugene who apparently is acquainted with most of the golders in this country belonging to the realm. All of the Oleans are acquiring components of the great Scotch game and are keen on our promise of developing lines. They are to take Digby's Age. They are the activities of golders in this whimsy and on a visit to this city brought these clubs. Fortunately for these men they were entertained in a four match on the difficult Mohonk Dixon. The latter was so enthusiastic the expresses willimine and the third match between members of the sex if sufficient interest can be found. It is possibly too late to stop from this year anyway our business is not in good shape to warrant this course yet. We should like to hear from friends from out of town who would be interested in taking part. MUSICIANS place in the discus. Heaving the leans weight a distance of 31 ft. 2-1-2 inches Anderson completely excubated Matt McIntosh, the one who chose one of the teams that were abroad. McGraw did not even place on Saturday. Ander- son put the discus throw handily with a toal of 102 ft. 4-1-4 inches. Double Victory for St. C. in Relay St. Christopher wound up the days point gathering with a simultaneous double victory in the midday relay race, the last event on the program. Throughout the starring make run by lanky George Williams on the first leg of the event, the St. C. first team went away to a fifty yard land and waded down over the second team. Parker, who ran anchor on the second team after whimming the "1000", electrified the crowd with the "spot" shot on the wounded man with his rifle from the chucking N. Y. A. C. runner and cuttily down the lead down by Lloyd Granger, anchor man of the first C. St. Team. Browns wins emoEoctai chod chod Boston Wine High Jump. Wm. Boston of the Alpha Physical Culture Club, junior metropolitan high jump champion, came goal of retirement and took the gold medal in the high jump with a heap of 6 feet. His clutchmate, Edgar Padmore, who is rapidly coming to the front as a classy young sprinter, won second prize in the Lily yard dash. Padmore was in triumph, helped on the tape for first place. Roy P. Morse of Salem-Crevent was fourth off 1 1-2 yards in his semi-final heat. Benny Lander of Alba jumped 20 feet for third place in the broad. Bill Shockey of St. Christopher al- ter for his efforts in the three miles. The Bankers' Athletic League Games held at the City College Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 18, served to furnish several upstairs, the first of the day was the tallest of the field of the Womens Wing, Wm. S. Parker, the eastside basketball player of St. Christopher Club, took the athletic fans by surprise when he rushed home in front of the field of thirty bank employees. This was Parker's first venture on the track and field, a indication of what we may expect from him, the middle distancers will have a lot of trouble this indoor season. With only an hour's rest, Parker came back on the track and with a handicap of 130 yards, gave St. Lea's team a 100-yard run, the race of his life in the mile run. At the beginning of the last lap Lea went away from the bunch and opened up a gap of 25 yards. Parker did not start to sprint until half way round the oval when, with a power-speed, he came after the flying Leaic, just failing to tip him on the tape. Eric Dawkins, the high school boy who is running unattached, raced to victory in the 100-yard dash. He was the first brother he served right at his shoulder. The St. Christopher relay team, composed of John Duncan, A. Mathis, Paul Harvey and Gerald Seon, finished third in the one mile A. A. U. relay. J. Duncan of St. Christopher will be a hard worker to beat in the quarter mile each year. He has run some nice races over the double-furlong distance on the St. C. relay team this season. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920 It is really a serious matter when one female clerk allows her ill-fitsings toward others to cause, her to a "Snake in the Grass" not by reporting another girl being married. Whether the one called up to G. P. O. reported the two called up to G. P. O. reported all three we don't know, but we do know it was wrong. Three colored female clerks have already been compelled to resign for the same reason. Whether or not these three are married we don't know, but there are some of another race married and it isn't advertised. A white official at G. P. O. was quoted as saying: "You colored girls down there (City Hall) stick fain, don't you?" Wake Up! Mr. A. Williams of Flushing also returned from his vacation, attempting in a modest way that he was seen very often in Harlem and actually polling a twin baby carriage. Miss Price, better known as the new Vamp, is very popular among the boys. Mr. Roberts seemed to have completely lost his heart and was married in the southland during his vacation. (Southern papers please copy.) "Cleo" is now running close second Miss Reulah Henderson continues to improve, occasional visits by the clerks will mean a great deal. This station has been well represented in Flesh Colored (Black) Star Line, Odd Fellows and other parades as color beafers, musicians, traffic regulators, mule-riders, etc. Just now with Mr. Boyd enjoyed himself dining also auto riding with Miss P—e. Mr. Sam Brown returned from his vacation, much benefited by the great, his pal, Mr. J. "P." Morgan, leaves today for his vacation. Miss A. Smith of Brooklyn is in our midst again, will recover from illness and still retain that "Well, I thank you" smile. Writing of smiles, the bachelors have very broad ones these days since the new girls come to City Hall station. They couldn't work their 50-50 proposition on the old, so they are trying to work it on, the new ones with winning smiles. Miss Raglan Marshall, Jackson and Miss Hassan have returned from their vacations looking and feeling much benefited by same. Quite some time ago there were numerous articles as to colored clerks placing themselves in position that was unusual. We stand this continues in some stations but quite an unusual thing in City Hall because the "Scandal Kings" are very outspoken and ever on the job. The latest victim in the nick name minging in the street, we account of his fondness, as we think for the ladies. Failing to reform the race track, Rev. Green has moved from N. Y. to the Staten Island table. The happy expression of Miss J. A. Johnson, the folks are back from the country. This office has received a number of new ladies as clerks, among whom are, Miss Price of Long Branch, N. J.; Miss Treadwell of Brooklyn; Miss J. and Miss Walden of Manhasset. Sorry to state there seems to be quite some jealousy existing between the old and new girls and the latter seem to be camping up in the boys' dormitory. Stated as a member the old saving, "Not to the Swift but the Steadfast."

A new law will allow 20 in the primaries will be given their final opportunity to register on October 12. (Continued from First Pair) at Port-au-Prince and noticing the well paved, well-heated streets, will at once jump to the conclusion that this work was done by the American Occupation. The Occupation goes to no trouble to refute this conclusion, and in fact it will by imagination corroborate it. It one should exclude: Why I.1. should you be absent in Port-au-Prince and the city Port-au-Prince is!' he would be almost certain to receive the answer: "Yes, but you should have seen it before the Occupation." The implication here is that Port-au-Prince was a multitude and that the Occupation is responsible for its destruction. It is clear that at the time of the interruption, five years ago, there were only one or two paved streets in the Haitian capital, but the contracts for paving the entire city had been let by the Haitian Government, and the work had already now begun. This work was completed durably, and the Occupation did not pave, and had nothing to do with the paving of a single street in Port-au-Prince. No Educational Advance. One accomplishment I did expect to find—that the American Occupation, in its five years of absolute rule, had developed and improved the Haitian system of public education. The United States has made some efforts in this direction in other countries where it has taken control. In Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, the "stumpt, as he said, as he did," the school systems. Selected youths from these countries were taken and sent to the United States for training in order that they might return and be better teachers, and American teachers were sent to those islands in exchange. The American Occupation in Haiti has not advanced public education a single step. No new buildings have been erected. Not only has the government to the United States for training in a teacher nor has a single American teacher, white or colored, been sent to Haiti. According to the general budget of Haiti, 1919-1920, there are, teachers in the rural schools receiving an little as six dollars a month. Some of these teachers may not be worth more than six dollars a month. Bag af败, not ought to be a American rule, af败, not ought to be a American teacher, in the country who is not worth more than that salary sum. Another source of discontent is the Gendarmerie. When the Occupation took possession of the island, it disarmed the Haitians, including the various local police forces. To remedy this situation the Convention (Article X), provided that there should be created—without delay, an efficient constabulary, urban and rural, composed of native Haitians. This constabulary shall be organised and offered by Americans, appointed by the President of Haiti upon nomination by the President of the United States. These officers shall be replaced by Haitians as they, by examination conducted under the supervision of a board to be selected by the South American Officer of this constabulary, present of a representative of the Haitian Government, are found to be qualified to assume such duties. During the first months of the Occupation officers of the Haitian Gendarmerie were commissioned officers of the marines, but the war took all these officers to Europe. Five years have passed and the constabulary is still officered by marines, but almost without exception by pirates or non-commissioned officers of the United States Marine Corps commissioned in the gendarmerie. Many of these men are rough, uncouth, and uneducated, and a great number from the South, are violently steeped in color prejudice. They direct all policing of city and town. It falls to them, ignorant of Haitian ways and language, to enforce every minor law. Notes to say, this is a grave source of prejudice. Where the genial American "cop" could, with the wave of his hand or club, convey the full majesty of the law to the small boy transgressor or to some equally innocuous offender, the strongarm tactics for which the marines are, are apt to be promptly evoked. A pledge in the convention that "these are enphied by Haitian" who could qualify by liking a pledge, become a mere scrap of Graduates of the famous French military academy of St. Cyr, men who have actually qualified for commissions in the French army, are denied the opportunity to fill even a lesser commission in the Haitian Gendarmerie, although such men, in addition to their training, because of their untimely loss of life, are required to complete familiarity with the ways their own country make ideal guardians of the peace. Brutallties and Atrocities. The American Occupation of Haiti is not only guilty of sins of omission, it is guilty of sins of commission in addition to those committed in the building of the great road across the island. Brutalities and atrocities on the part of American marines have occurred in the past, and the cause of deep resentment and terror, Marines talk freely of what they "did" to some Haitians in the outlying districts. Familiar methods of torture to make captives reveal what they often do not know are nonchalantly recused. Just before left, Rort-a-rouse a Haitian boy stealing sugar of a whirl and instead of arresting him he battered his brains out with the butt of his rifle. I learned from the lips of American Marines themselves of a number of cases of rape of Haitian women by marines, often at tables on benches and offices in the office and they played before me without restraint. I remember the description of a "caco" hunt by one of them: he told how they finally came upon a crowd of natives engaged in the popular pardine of cockfighting and how they "let them have it with machine guns and fire fries, heard machine guns and fire fries, heard that a fire in Port-au-Prince created a "rather" creased up Haitian, standing on the sidewalk, to "get in there" and take a hand at the pumps. I appeared that the Haitian merely abused his shoulders. The captives of marines then languishing said: "I had on a pretty hood with a wrist that lambed him in the middle of the street. Sometimes you me and told me that the man was an ex-member of the Haitian Assembly." The fact that the man had been a member of the Haitian Assembly made the whole incident more lingerish to the audience of marines. American brutality in Haiti is not to be found in individual cases of cruelty, insults and inscrutely though they are, but rather in the American attitude, well illustrated by the disgrace of an American soldier who is killed in his difficulty: "The smile with this whole business is the same of these people with a little money and education than they are so good as we are," and this is the byword of the attitude of every America to every Haitian. And the smile with this jung of cask and color prejudice where it never before existed. Occupation Has Failed. And such are the "accomplishment" of the United States in Haiti. The occupation has not only failed to achieve anything, worth while, but has made it impossible to so because of the disdain and mistreatment it has inflicted in the Haitian people. Through the present instrumentalities no matter how carefully the United States only desire to be fair to Haiti and make intervention a success, it will not succeed. An entirely new deal is necessary. This Government forced the Haitian government to take action to aid the can aid and American assistance. With that American aid the Haitian Government defaulted its external and internal debt, an obligation which would self-government the Haitians had seriously observed. And American supervision turned out to be a military tyranny supporting a program of colonization. With an opportunity to gain the confidence of the Haitian people, that opportunity has been destroyed. When American troops first landed, although the Haitian people were outraged, there was still nevertheless which might have developed into cooperation. There were those who had hoped that the "Dained" people would be policy of nearly a century and a half, suiting its fine stand in Cuba under McKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft, would extend aid that would be mutually beneficial to both countries. Those Haitians who indulged this hope are disappointed and Miter. Those members of the Haitian Assembly who which action was less hopeful of American promises, incurred unpopularity by voting for the Convention, are today bitterly disappointed and utterly disillusioned. If the United States should leave Haiti today, it would wlove more than a thousand widows and orphans of its government, more handiwork than has existed for the country, recruitment, harbors and deportation, a whole people, to say nothing of the irrepairable difficulty in its own tradition as the defender of rights of others.

Inc., was held Monday, September 20th, at the office of the company, 2209 Seventh avenue, for the purpose of informing the stockholders of the condition of the Company and to plan a vigorous campaign to sell the stock held by J. B. Wood, president, were unanimously adopted. Implicit confidence was expressed to Mr. Wood for his management of the business. Mr. Wood stated in part that several attempts had been made to defraud the company out of its holdings by enemies of the company as well as enemies of the race. Attempts had been made in different ways to fraud the com own of its holdings for the purpoe cripling the com own of its holdings, not accomplish what it is set out to. He referred to some of the holders in the company who had been enemies of the company, in that they had been trying to poison the minds of the public and also have been seeking to influence those who have subscribed for stock on the installment plan to discontinue their payments. A resolution was adopted to appoint a new committee to arrange meetings to raise funds to help the company to take title to properties on which it has contract. The names of a number of business men will be added to the company in the next two weeks. The following gentlemen have consented to act as members of the finance committee. J. B. Wood Co. joined the Rev. S. W. Smith, chairman pastor Messiah Church, Yonkers, K. Y., and grand master F. A. & A. M. of New York State; Lucen H. White, managing editor, The New York Ack, New York City; the Rev. J. K. Humphrey, pastor Seventh Day Adventist Church, New York City; gene L. Moore, secretary, advertising manager. The New York Ack, New York City. The company has on contract to day properties valued at over $200,000 and is making a strenuous effort to take title to that property in order that our people might have comfortable homes to live in. In December, 1900 when the company received its rights from the State of New York to do business we are the first to conceive the idea of carrying on business on the housing plan which has been adopted since by several other companies in New York City, especially among our people. Our plans have proven to be very simple, yet safe and sure, and under our plans the company is trolling on contract properties that we have taken title to worth at least $250,000. When we shall have been successful in taking title to all of the prop- Oils and Extracts from the Orient, combined with an earthen mixture, forms the marvelous beautifier.

REGISTRATION DAYS — Registration books in Greater New York open October 4, 5, 6 and 7, from 5 to 10:30 o'clock p. m.; Saturday, October 9, from 7:30 o'clock a. m., to 10:30 o'clock p. m. Mr. Foy is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Norman Hazzard, Worcester, Mass. Rev. C. E. Wilson is spending ten days resisting in Delaware. He left Tuesday night. Mr. John M. Palmer of Elmwood, Pa., is the guest of Mrs. J. E. Robinson, 150 Chaucney street. Mrs. Jeanette Lor, 1795 Dean street, who has confined to her bed for four weeks, is convalescing. Chas. E. Robbins and bride of Philadelphia, are spending their honey moon with Rev. and Mrs. Wilson, 671 Herkimer street. John Arnold, son of Mr. and Mrs. teries which we have purchased on contract, including the properties that we have taken title to, it will show a net income of about $20,000 per year. It would be a shame and a disgrace on the part of leading members of our race to permit this property to go under the control of our people. Since the company has been organized Mr. Wood has not taken a cent of money for his personal salary, but on the contrary has seen to it that the pressing obligations of the company were met. He has not taken advantage of any opportunities by placing a single piece of property in his own name, but has turned over everything to the company, and today is practical fighting at his own expense. The company has gotten hold of, in order that it might be made a true racial enterprise. When some of the stockholders visited the office of the company from Baltimore, Md., meeting Mr. Wood for the first time, they were so impressed with the way he was conducting the business and the sacrifice he was making in order that the company might accomplish its aim they wanted. He was sticky by him regardless of the criticism that was made and immediately increased their holdings in the company to the extent of $500. We wish to state to the public that the company is making a deep impression upon the minds of the thinking members of the race. Men like Mr. Terry, Mr. New York Ace, is becoming one of the supporters in that he has consented to serve on the finance committee of the company, together with many other prominent men to help raise funds to advance the interpersonal relations of the corporate things that the company is in need of today. is conscientious agents that are willing to work and defend the principles of the company and the company is willing to pay them for their services. J. H. Thompson and about 100 stockholders are active in the company's interest. Mr. Wood also states that plans are now on foot to begin action in a few days against those who have been slamming this company and their names in the lawsuit. We need the conclusion that the best thing to do is to take legal steps in order to close their mouths so that our people might get together for the purpose of helping themselves and that our people should be taught by every influential man in the race that the race succeed is by cooperating and working together for one great good and common cause.
