Harding Answers Oklah'n's Question on Equality of Races
What Has Happened to the Little Negro Republic During Five Years Rule by United States Forces
The article reproduced herewith on "Self-Determining Haiti," was written by Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, published on The Nation, a weekly journal published-at 20 Vesey street, New York. The subject is treated in a series, of which the subjoined article (A Famille People) is the fourth and last. It is based on information about Mr. Johnson while on a personal vii to Haiti some months ago.

fairs possessed by the intelligent Haitian. Nor would his encounters be only with the people who have culture and savoir vivre; he would meet the Haitian intellectuals—pupils, essayists, novelists, historians, critics. Take for example such a writer as Fernand Hibbert. An English authority says of him, "His essays are worthy of the pen of Avatide, France or Pierre Loli." And there is George Sylaine, poet and essayist, conferrer at the Sorbonne, where his address was received with acclaim, author of books crowned by the French Academy, and an Officers of the Legion d'Honneur, Hibbert and Sylaine are only two among a dozen or more contemporary Haitian men of leisure whose work may be measured by world standards. Two names that stand out prominently in Haitian literature are Oswald Durand, the national poet, who died a few years ago, and Damocles Vitux. These people educated, cultured, and intellectual, are not accidental and sporadic offshoots of the Haitian people; they are the Haitian people and they are a demonstration of its inherent potentialities.
The Country Districts.
However, Port-au-Prince is not all of Haïti. Other cities are smaller replicas, and fully as interesting are the people of the country districts. Perhaps the deepest impression on the observant visitor is made by the country women. Magnificent as they file along the country roads by scores and by (Continued on Sixteenth Page)

Senator Harding in Oklahoma City
"I would not be fitted to be President of the United States if I did not tell you in the South precisely the same thing. I would say in the North. I want you to know that I believe in equality before the law. That is one of the guarantees of the American Constitution. YOU CANNOT GIVE ONE RIGHT TO A WHITE MAN AND DENY THE SAME RIGHT TO A BLACK MAN."

DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER ASKS QUESTION
Thousands of Oklahomaans and Texans Near Republican Presidential Candidate Answer Quetion Intended as a Trouble Maker
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.—Men and women, by the thousands, from all parts of Oklahoma, and from Texas as well, came with enthusiasm into a rally of red fire and torchlights on Saturday night to greet Senator Warren G. Harding. Republican candidate for President. This is a democratic state, city and community, without a single Republican newspaper, and yet Senator Harding received the most enthusiastic greeting of any given on the western trip which he has just concluded.
And here also he ran up against what was intended to troublesome and embarrassing question—a question submitted by the Daily Oklahoma—referring to the dangerous race problem. But with no hesitation the Republican candidate met the situation and gave his answer fairly and squarely. The Oklahoma asked:
"Do you or do you not favor race segregation? Do you or do you not favor separate cars for the white and black races, separate schools, restaurants, amusement places, etc."
There was but one reason for the asking of this question, and that was to create an embarrassing situation for the candidate; it was the evident idea that an exasian would displace the colored Republicans while a direct affirmative would alienate possible democratic supporters and Southern white Republicans. Senator Harding met the issue without equivocation. He verified:
"I have not come from older Ohio to tell you how to solve your peculiar problems of the South. Somebody asked what I would do about the racial question. I cannot come and answer that for you. That is too serious a problem for some of us to solve who do not know it as you do in your daily lives.
"But I would not be fitted to be President of the United State if I did not tell you in the South precisely the same thing I would say in the North. I want you to know that, believe in equality before the law. That is one of the guarantees of the American Constitution. YOU CANNOT GIVE ONE RIGHT TO A WHITE MAN AND DENY THE SAME RIGHT TO A BLACK MAN; but while I stand for that particular principle, I want you in Oklahoma to know that that does not mean, and I do not ever intend that it mean, that the white man and the black man must be made to experience the enjoyment of their rights in each other's company."
DEMAND PROTECTION FOR COLORED MAN
(Special to The New York Age)
Jacksonville, Fla.—On Wednesday night, October 6, a crowd of white men rode up to the home of B. J. Jones, a Negro, and chairman of the Columbia County Republican Club, and taking Jones from bed in his night clothes, placed a mouse about his neck and drove him out of town in an automobile. He was later released.
J. FRANK NICKENS IS KILLED ACCIDENTALLY
J. Frank Nickens, grand president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, and a well-known citizen of New York, met with a sad and untimely end when he fell four nights down an air shaft at his home, 205 West 135th street.
Mr. Nickens arrived at his home about 11 p. m. and apparently discoverer that his keys were either on the inside, or left at his work. His wife was under the care of a physician and he.
The Columbia County Commissioners, as a result of this outrage, passed resolutions condemning the action of the mob, and demanded that the Grand Jury make an investigation and order the county sheriff to furnish protection to lones.
HAWKINS' CANDIDACY
AROUSES WHITE G. O. P. Baltimore, Md.-The independent candidacy of W. Abbie Hawkins for the United State Senate has reached such proportions that sponsors for O. E. Weller, the white regular Republican candidate, are becoming alarmed. The campaign is being financed entirely by the race as a protest against "illy-white" conditions within the Republican party. Men and women all over the city are boosting his candidacy, and he has strong support in other counties.
LESTER A. WALTON MADE
(Special to The New York Acc.)
Philadelphia. Pa.—Announcement has been made by E. C. Brown, banker and president of the Quality Amount Corporation, Philadelphia. Dramatic editor of TNX Acc. has been appointed of the producing department of the corporation, succeeding Edgar Forrest, resigned.
For the first time in the history of the Quality Amusement Corporation the entire business of this big organization is under the sole supervision of Negades. In the future race players written by colored men and women will be produced from time to time as the business being controlled by the management.
Many Democrats Will Vote Republican State Ticket Judge Miller, Republican Nominee for Governor, is Being Pledged Support from Many Disaffected Democrats
Former Judge Nathan L. Miller, Republican candidate for Governor of New York, is making a tour of the eastern and western parts of the state, with an itinerary which calls for fifty-seven speeches. The following week he goes to the other end of the state, expecting to arrive in New York City on October 23. Judge Miller expressed deep confidence in the outcome of the election, declaring that he anticipated success for the entire Republican state ticket.

"Everywhere we have received enthusiastic greetings," said the former Judge. "The people of the State, women and men, appear fully alive to the momentous issues that will be determined in this campaign. Large audiences have greeted us everywhere and have listened intently to what we have had to tell them. I feel more confident of success to day than I have at any time since I have assumed the responsibility of making the run for Governor."
Democrat Coming Over.
Most encouraging reports are coming into Republican state headquarters, and a striking fact in this conversation is that many Democrats are announcing they will support the Republican nominee for governor.
thought that he could get into his apartment without disturbing her. He attempted to climb from his hall window into his apartment, a distance of about 1-1 2 feet. Finding this window latched, Mr. Nickens attempted to enter another window and lost his balance and fell, seemingly head first and uninterrupted, four flights to the stone pavement below.
He was immediately taken to the Hartman Hospital, and Hunter S. Garrett a personal friend of Mr. Nickens and financial secretary of the organization of which the deceased was the president arrived shortly afterwards, having been notified of the accident. Mr. Nickens never regained consciousness and died one hour and fifty minutes after the accident. Mr. Nickens was born in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1884, but was of a national character in that he traveled very extensively, and was for many years interested in the Brotherhood of Lining Car Employees, which has branches in nearly every section of the country. At the last annual meeting of this organization the honor of grand president was deservedly conferred upon Mr. Nickens, because of his overwearing devotion to the cause for which the men continued. The rapid growth of the Brotherhood is due, in a large measure, to the personal initiative and wise leadership of Mr. Nickens.
The devoted wife, the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, as well as host of friends, mourn the loss of Mr. Nickens, who endured himself to all who were fortunate enough to know him.
POLLARD OF VIRGINIA
FOR THE U. S. SENATE
(Special to THE NEW YORK AU.) Richmond, Va.—The names of two colored candidates for office will appear on the ballot for the November election. One is Joseph R. Pollard, lawyer, state and city chairman of the "Lily Blacks" wing of the Republican party. Pollard was nominated by the state executive committee of the "Lily Blacks" and filed his notice of candidacy for United States Senator with the Secretary of the Commonwealth on October 2.
The executive committee of the "Lily Blacks" nominated at same time candidates for Congress in four districts, as follows: First district; J. Thomas Newsome, Newport News; Second district, Thomas H. Price, Portsmouth; Third district, H. H. Price, Richmond; Fourth district, Key, F. J. Mason.
These nominations show that the breath between the white and black wings of the Republican party has not been bridged. In six districts the "Lily Blacks" have no candidates. The executive committee advises the colored voters to either refrain from voting for Congressman Slemp in the Ninth or vote for the Democratic candidate.

N. Carolina Women Advised by Dudley
Aroused to Anger and Indignation When Told Not to Vote
(Raleigh, N. C. - A bumbleshell was cast into the ranks of the Negro Republicans of the state on October 1. When every leading Democratic daily paper in the state published a long letter purporting to have been written by Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro, in which he advised Negro women of the state to refrain from registering and voting this year. The lily whites and the Democrats have given the Dudley better their hearty endorsement, but the women and men of the race indignant and thoroughly angry, judging from their expressions.

The manner in which the letter is received by the whites is clearly shown by an editorial comment from the Greensboro Daily News, commonly regarded as being fair and reasonable in the discussion of questions pertaining to the race. The Near commented as follows:
"Dr. Dudley, president of the A. and T. College, advises the women of his race to stay away from the ballot box this year. The advice is same and sound. No true friend of the Negro can fail to warn him that if he attempts to exercise the balance of power in this election what he will achieve will be not political equality, but a reproduction of the conditions of 1898. The Red Shirt has been laid away for more than twenty years; but it would require just one him at Negro domination to bring it out again."
Comment from members of the race brings out the fact that reference to the News to Conditions of 1898, is of the infamous Wilmington riots that year, during which scores of Negroes were killed and many others of the most prominent and well-to-do were compelled to leave under cover of darkness for another and sater localities.
The indignation aroused by Dr. Dudley's letter is accentuated by the attitude assumed by the white press of the state, exposing, as it does, the brutal and strage spirit that is covered by the thin veiner of that protestations of friendliness. Negro men and women all over the state are outspoken in their denunciation of Dudley. One of the leading men of the state made the remark, "But what does he care about it, just so he saves his honour will the powers that be?"
Bishop Clinton's Wife Disfranchised.
of the effect of the Dudley letter that she is the wife of Bishop W. Clinton on Church, living at Charlotte, and is a standing Yet when she appeared for sported that she was turned down and experience makes the race leaders fear I will receive no consideration either.
In the white Democratic papers, Dr. Dudley ordered women not to register and vote, necessary, and declares that women, you than any she can develop to the hellish defining the inexpendency of women's in the political field will add fresh to the huge, and postmortem the day of police is being it grip on the throne and in the struggle?
Like issue on this point and declare that by the comment from the Attenborough aOTE registrars in the case of Mrs. A. the following paragraph:
At the weight of authority is largely against the advice I am giving. Wisdom usually, majority.
While I expect some the great mistake that Negro men made decided that all Negro men must think from us were cowardly, soundly day think of my advice, you may do your advice if you will do all you can to help and freedom of thought and speech.
As an example of the effect of the Dudley letter the experience of Mrs. Clinton is quoted. She is the wife of Bishop W. Clinton of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, living at Charlotte, and is a woman of culture, intelligence and social standing. Yet when she appointed for registration in her home town it is reported that she was turned down and did not refused qualification. This experience makes the race leaders fear that the women of lesser advantages will receive no consideration either.
In this letter to the white Democratic papers Dr. Dudley gives several reasons for urging colored women not to register and vote. He claims it to be inexperienced and unnecessary, and declares that women's power, away from the polls is far greater than any she can develop to the ballot box.
Dr. Dudley, in defining the inexperience of women's voting, said that their entrance now in the political field will add fresh inclination to the race prejudice and political hate, and position the day of political freedom and independence. Prejudice is losing its grip on the throne and intelligence is ascending. Why probing the struggle?
Race leaders take issue on this point and declare that just the contrary is true, as is shown by the comment from the Tennessee Party Narrative and the action of the Charlotte registrars in the case of Mrs. Clinton. The Dudley letter closed with the following paragraph:
"I know that the weight of authority is largely against the position I am taking and the advice I am giving. Wisdom usually, but not always, lodges with the majority.
While I expect some disagree, I beg you not to make the great mistake that Negro men made when we made our debut. We decided that all Negro men must think and vote alike, and all who differed from us were condemned, sounded or sycophants. Whatever you may think of my advice, you may do your race and your state genuine service if you will do all you can to help the cause of political tolerance and freedom of thought and speech."

The registration of men and women is much larger than usual and the women especially are exhibiting active and energetic interest. Friday and Saturday, October 8 and 9, the first two days for registering, brought out much larger number than war in evidence the first two registration days of 1919. The books will be open again on Friday and Saturday, October 15 and 16, and it is expected that the comparative increase will be even greater.
(Special to The New York Act)
Detroit, Mich.—Notwithstanding that a large number of colored men have left here for other cities on account of unemployment, there is every indication that more than twenty thousand Negro voters will be qualified for the forthcoming election. Well-informed leaders place the possible vote at about 22,000 and this estimate is based upon energetic canvass of the entire city in which every person of age is urged to register and vote.
Nowwithstanding that a large number of cities on account of unemployment, the twenty thousand Negro voters will be well-informed leaders place the pose is based upon energetic canvas of age is urged to register and vote.

One of the fruits of awakened interest is evidenced by the organization of the colored voters into a political body, the membership being composed of all classes and kinds, the whole with the single thought of getting out the vote. Meetings are being held at which prominent speakers are heard by the people, but in addition to these there is the work of the canvassers who make a personal contact with every voter in the city. These workers are going directly into the homes of the people and advising them as to what and how to do.

TO MEET A CRYING NEED.
A crying need for the welfare of the girls of the race in New York City was emphasized by the formal opening of the Sobjourner Truth House and the Katy Ferguson riotice. The former receives girls under 10 and the latter those over that age. The two houses are conducted under the management of an incorporated board, composed of well-known philanthropists and those interested in the welfare of the race. The purpose of these two institutions is to afford those girls who have made a misstep or who are in danger of becoming delinquent, a saving chance to regain their footing and to become useful and self-respecting members of society. Instead of pushing the erring or deceased girl down, it is intended to give her a helping hand to regain a firm footing. It is a greatly needed work in a great city like New York and should receive the active and generous support of all members of the community.
PUSH CART MARKETS.
Aiderman George W. Harris favors the establishment of a push cart market to be located in Los Angeles, between the limits of 157th and 159th streets. The benefits to be derived from this allowing the traveling vendors to take possession of a public thoroughfare are not so apparent. Even it is not a condition that they may furnish their wares at a lower price than the storekeepers, who have to pay there, is the detection of the risk through exposure and the damage to such a thoroughfare as Lenox avenue, through the litter and confusion due to open air trails. Then the adjacent storekeepers have some rights in the premises and may be expected to protest against this inclusion of their territory. While a push cart market may be a benefit in certain sections, it is doubtful it would be an unimposed blessing in a locality like Los Angeles. A push cart market is not wanted.
WADSWORTH AND THE STATE
TICKET
While special attention has been concentrated on the Presidential campaign, it should not be lost sight of, that in New York State there is a United States Senator to be elected, as well as Representatives in Congress and a full State ticket.
Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., who is running for reelection, has been bitterly criticized for his opposition to woman suffrage and his refusal to bow to the dictates of the Anti-Sabon organization. Nevertheless, he should be reelected, because of his consistent record as true Republican A Republican President, would be sadly hampered in his work of restoring constitutional government, unless he has the support and assistance of a Republican Congress. Every voter who desires a change for the better in government methods, should vote for Wadsworth and the Republican candidate for Congress in his district.
It is almost equally important that the State government should be made solidly Republican, so that the many vital institutions affecting the interests of the people of New York City and the remainder of the State may be solved by armed and harmonious action between executive and legislative departments. It is gratifying to note that the racial representative in the legislature, Asylumman John C. Hawkins, has won nomination. As usefulness of a advisor increases with his experience, Hawkins should be supported by any voter in favor of good government, another perm. Loyalty to the whole institution ticket should be the slogan.
NOTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE.
In addition to voting for presidential nomination to Governor and other State
officers, ballots will be submitted to the voters in New York State to decide two important questions. One of these is an amendment to the State Constitution, relating to the public debt and the other is a proposed law to pay a bonus to those who served in the world's war. In order to pay this bonus to the ex-soldiers and others who are residents of New York State, it is proposed to issue bonds to the amount of $45,000,000. A special commission will be created by the Legislature to distribute the proceeds of these bonds on the basis of ten dollars for each month that the person was in active service, not to exceed a total of $250. In case the person entitled to such bonus is deceased, the husband or wife, mother, father, brother and sister, in order named shall be entitled to said allowance.
We think that the people of New York State, without regard to party, will approve this extra allowance by the State to those who risked their lives and eruded the hardships of war in defence of their country. While there may be those who do not stand in need of such a grant, it is provided that these fortunate one, who so desire, may assign their bonus, to a fund to be created for the relief of those suffering disability incurred in the service.
Voters will make no mistake in voting "Yes" to this proposition, as well as to the amendments relating to the State debt.
A COLLEGE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE.
President James R. Dudley of the Negro A. and T. College, at Greenshoro, N. C., has awarded the iy of all the thoughtful members of the race in his State, by an open letter addressed to the Negro women of North Carolina, in which he advised them to refrain from approach to the ballot box. The occasion for the volunteering of this unwelcome advice way a letter circulated in the daily press calling upon them to register and vote in the coming election.
Dr. Dudley's reasons for discouraging the women from attempting to exercise the franchise are based on the ground that such an attempt is not expedient and also unnecessary. He urges that it would be better if all of our women should maintain the dignity of their sex, use the power they have and abstain from the ballot. Of course, all this isoppywock and subterfuge.
The real reason for this outgiving by Dr. Dudley, is probably compulsion by the Democratic powers that control his institution, who have forced him to this undignified step. The fact that some party in the State is urging that the women of the race avail themselves of their right to the franchise, has aroused the greatest opposition of the Democratic politicians.
The violence of this opposition may be gauged by the brutal language of the editorial published in the Greensboro Daily News, in which the Negro is warned that if he attempts to exercise the balance of power in this election, there will be a reproduction of the conditions of 1898. This is direct reference to the Wilmington riots, when scores of Negroes were slaughtered, and many more driven from their homes in the night to save their lives.
Dr. Dudley's plight is palpable, but his effort to save his face by catering to the ruthless Democracy will be in vain. His advice will be rejected by the people of his race and he will be disposed as a leader on whom they could refute. Educators are opposing a position like his should keep out of politics.
According to the Pittsburgh American, the followers of Marcus Garvey in that city were not permitted to hold a second meeting billed for the Labor Temple, owing to the fact that reports to the Department of Public Safety described them as Bolshevist. The American controverted this by saying:
2 Far from being Bolshevistic the followers of the tribe of Garvey are no more nor less than the voice and spirit of the new Negro to whom, like Patrick Henry of Colonial days, liberty and true democracy are sweeter than life itself.
The Garseites may not be Ephesiots, but their methods do not always tend to the preservation of the public peace. Hence, probably the precautions of the Pittsburgh authorities.
The reports that the colored women of the South are indifferent to the matter of voting are not credited by the Atlanta Independent, which says:
We regret to hear it and we can't believe that it is true, and we know that it is not true in Georgia. We believe that every colored woman who is eligible, will not only go and vote herself, but will urge upon her neighbors—men and women to do the same. There is too much at stake for indifference and carelessness. There would be no better weapon the enemies could use against us. And now when this right has been granted at a great price, certainly we should see to it that every colored man and woman go and cast their ballot for the men of their choice—Harding and Coolidge, who stand for the rights of men without regard to race, color or creed. This opportunity may not come again for a life time—and if it is not used, it may cost us our future rights and privileges in this country.
Another Georgian, Dr. H. R. Butler, is confident that the Republican ballots are sure to be put in the boxes, but he says that unless our State leaders get busy, they will never be counted. All in all, there seems to be considerable life in the present campaign in Georgia.
It is announced that the knights of the Ku Kuxu Klan will parade in Richmond on Armistice Day, Nov. 11. More than 300 are expected to be in line in full costume. The shade of General N. B. Forrest, the promoter of the massacre of Fort Pillow, should be there to review these disciples of modern thug-men.

Matching President Wilson's contribution of $500 to the Democratic campaign fund is now a popular game among Democrats. Each one who does the trick gets his name in the papers and perhaps gets a personal letter of thanks from the President. A few days ago a Philadelphia firm sent their check for $500 to Mr. Wilson and received in return the following letter:
My Dear Sirso
*Your letter with its inclusion of $500 for the Democratic campaign fund, with which you generously match my personal subscription to that fund, has given me the greatest cheer. Redemption of the solemn pledges, our nation gave when we entered the war is worth every exertion and expenditure, and it heartens me very much to feel your concurrence in this view and your generous desire to help.
The President is no doubt sincere when he says that the five hundred dollar contribution gave him the greatest cheer, but we cannot see what connection this contribution and others like it have to do with the "redemption of the solemn pledges our nation gave when we entered the war."
All of this talk about "solemn pledges" is just some more of President Wilson's rhetorical bombast. What solemn pledges is he talking about? When we entered the war we made no pledges, solemn or otherwise, to anybody. We did not become a member of the Entente Alliance, we did not bind ourselves by any of the agreements which they had among themselves. We entered the war on an independent footing. According to language of the declaration made by Congress, we entered the war to maintain our rights against the German invasion of them. There was only one implied pledge we made to the nations of the Entente Alliance, and that was that we would help them beat Germany and that we would not withhold our help until she was beaten. And although this was no formal pledge, we certainly kept it; we helped the Entente Allies beat Germany, and in addition we fed them and loaned their money
But President Wilson would create the belief that the United States on entering the war obligated itself by a solemn pledge to adopt the League of Nations, Article X and all. The only pledge made about the League of Nations was the one made individually by Mr. Wilson. The country has thus far refused to admit that it is bound by Mr. Wilson's pledge. And even this pledge of Mr. Wilson's was not made when we entered the war, but after the close of the war. Nevertheless, the President's talk about this nation's solemn pledges has hambuzzled a lot of people.

The people of New York have been horrified by the published reports of automobile accidents in this city. In the spring and fall months, the streets are most crowded both with pedestrians and motor vehicles, the number of persons killed is appalling. In one month the number was within a few of a hundred.
Many reasons have been given and many remedies suggested, but there does not seem to be any change in the condition. Now comes along one Tom Flynn, who writes Mayor Hylan a letter giving a reason and a remedy, both of which have the mark of novelty, at least. Mr. Flynn claims that the reason for the untimely fate of the majority of the male victims is the shortness of the skirts worn by the women. He says: "It ain't the automobile's fault. The trouble ain't there. Make the women quit wearing dresses, so high. That's the trouble. Men walking on the streets and driving cars can't keep their minds on their jobs. They can't look in two directions at once."
Mr. Flynn may be right, the writer does not know; but he does know this, that safety in crossing the crowded streets of New York depend upon two things: first, upon taking a quick glance up the street and down the street in order to judge the distances and the chances; second in making a dash for the point you wish to reach, with your attention tucked absolutely and exclusively on reaching that point.
The writer remembers being near when a man, evidently not a New Yorker, in crossing Broadway bumped into someone and turned around to beg pardon. He was rewarded for his politeness by being run over by an electric car and killed. So if the men of New York and those visiting New York are sufficiently susceptible to the allurements of the silk hosiery display which is so lavish in this town as to risk a glance to the right or left or rear while crossing a crowded street, it is probable that the masculine death rate from automobile accidents would be lowered by lowering the women's skirts.

Secretary of the State Colby in a campaign speech made recently at Cleveland took as his text the claim advanced by the Republican Party that it was sure of success because of the prevalent desire in the country for a change. Mr. Colby then went on to ask what was it that the Democrats had done that any one would want changed. Among the questions which he paced was the following:
"Do you desire to change our attitude toward the Latin-American Governments on this hemisphere? Have you not seen their regard for this country, their confidence in its purpose, grow by leaks and bound with every year of Wilson's administration? Would you change this?
"Do we hear any more of the militarist clamor for armed intervention in Mexico? No, that is all stilled. President Wilson has adhered to his high aim and his fixed purpose of treating Mexico, even while it was in the throes of dangerous disorders, with the respect due from one friendly people to another. What is the result? Mexico is on the high road to tranquil internal conditions and the resumption of peaceful development. Our relations with Mexico happily are unmarred by any act of oppression. Would you change this?"
We wonder where the Secretary of State gets his information about the regard which Latin-America has for the United States, especially under the Wilson administration? He is entirely in error when he says that the regard for this country has grown there by leaps and bounds. The truth is, no country in the world is so cordially disliked in Latin-America as the United States. There is a double reason for this state of mind. Latin-America dislikes the United States both for its attitude of imperialism and for its attitude of racial superiority. The people of those republics feel that they are in constant danger of being overwhelmed by the Colossus of the North, and they are extremely bitter over the fact that the United States regards them as racial inferior:
But more astounding than Secretary Colby's ignorance of the actual sentiment in Latin-America toward the United States is the revelation of President Wilson's magic method of dealing with Mexico in order to secure peace and tranquillity in that country and gain its undying gratitude. President Wilson accomplished this by "adhering to his high aim and his fixed purpose of treating Mexico, even while it was in the throes of dangerous disorders, with the respect due from one friendly people to another."
Contemplating the perfection with which the Wilson method worked in Mexico, it seems more than strange that the idea never

There is consternation among the Democrats of Jacksonville, Florida, because the colored women of that city have done just what we have been saying the colored women will do everywhere if they have the slightest chance. During the registration days in Jacksonville, 3,776 women registered; of these 1,727 were white, and 2,049 were colored.
These figures, have caused the local politicians great alarm. John E. Matthews, secretary of the Citizen's Registration Committee, is out in an appeal to the white women to "save the city and the county." He asks in big, black type printed in one of the local papers, "Are white men and white women of Duval County going to permit Negro washerwoman and cooks to wield the balance of political power in the county?"
Aside from the fact that a Negro washerwoman and cook are as much entitled to a vote as the finest lady in the land, Mr. Matthews would find on investigation that the majority of the colored women who have registered in Jacksonville are neither washerwomen nor cooks.
We trust that the colored women of Jacksonville will be as determined about voting as they have been about registering, and that their sisters everywhere will follow their example.
ARTFUL DODGERS IN POLITICS
An argus cyd correspondent of the Ace has sent us a clipping from the columns of the New York Tribune, once the exponent of rock ribbed Republicanism, which shows a disposition to dodge an important issue. Referring to Senator Harding's approaching visit to Kentucky, it said:
The Louisville speech is the subject of earnest discussion among Senator Harding's advisers just now. They are not entirely satisfied with the outlook in Kentucky, but they fear that the presence of many Negroes at a meeting in Louisville might prejudice white voters, anti-Wilton Democrats, who are now virtually inside the Harding stockade.
In view of the fact that the candidate of the party has uncompromisingly declared himself on the subject of full citizenship rights for the Negro, it becomes his advisers to express such cowardly fears, and it is equally poor policy for such a paper as the Tribune to give currency to them. The futility of Republican efforts to gain votes in the South by dodging the issue of citizenship rights for the Negro has been demonstrated too often.
But politicians of both parties are given to dodging on this issue, except such Southern Democrats as Hoke Smith and Tom Watson, who brazenly advocate the distranchisement of both Negro men and women. How the Democratic candidate, Governor Cox, dodged the issue in Kentucky is shown by the following taken from the New York Herald.
In his speech in Bowling Green, Gov. Cox brought up the Negro issue, promising to deal with it at more length in a later speech. It came about when he followed the tactics developed on the Western tour and challenged the audience to tell where Senator Harding stood on the League of Nations. "I don't there any one here who is going and after a pause.
"Titit there any one here who is going to vote for Senator Harding?"
"Yes, the nuggers are," somebody yelled.
"I'll open up that question of race prejudice later," Gov. Cox replied.
"I've just opened up one barred in this company as yet and I'll open up the other so it."
There is much concern in the South on the question of the Negro vote, due to the institution of equal suffrage. There is much talk about the vote of Negro women.
"Let me present," said the man who introduced Gov. Cox at Franklin, Ky., "the white hope of Southern womanhood."
The Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers and his followers in New Jersey, who pledged their support to Gov. Cox, should watch for the opening of the other barrel. As for the weakened Republicans who are trying to dodge the issue of equal citizenship for all races in America, they are a hindrance 'instead of a help to the party. Their proper place is with Hoke Smith and Tom Watson.
BETTER RELIGIOUS METHODS.
THE Age has hailed with approval the adoption of improved methods among our churches and other religious institutions. There has been a marked intellectual development among the younger element of the race, and it is up to the religious leaders to meet the demands due to this new state of things. If the church is to maintain its hold on the rising generation, it must put off the old and "wormout methods of emotional revivals and win its way with more convincing appeals.
Many of the more progressive members of the ministry have recognized the need for a greater intellectual appeal to their hearers and have placed less dependence upon physical demonstrations, which were productive of noisy onurbs but seldom had lasting results. The advanced churches of the present day pay more attention to the needs of living and the provision of suitable attractions to keep the younger members from straying from the fold.
But all the churches have not adopted the modern methods of conducting either their religious exercises or their business transactions. With some of these noisy revival services, with shouting exhorters and emotional outbreaks among their attendants, are relied upon to excite interest and encourage accessions, as well as stimulate offerings. These methods are partly responsible for driving many of the more intelligent young people from the church. Then in the business end of it, trustees are charged with having their coal bins filled for the winter, and the bills included in the expenditures for the church.
There is also room for improvement.

teach, provided that he or she is known as a good church member. The Sunday school is an important factor as a feeder to the church, and the training of the pupils demands the same care and attention as secular instruction. The fact is that in many cases the pupils having enjoyed the advantages of the public school system, are superior in mental training to their would be instructors. Competent instructors are necessary for effective Sunday school work. If they cannot be secured under the old volunteer system, paid instructors should be provided. Let the churches discard the old and ineffective methods that have prevailed in the past and adopt such upodate methods that will conduce to greater service to the members.
BLACK NO LONGER BOGY.
A favorite resort of disgruntled property owners who have fallen at odds with their neighbors, has been to threaten to dispose of their holdings to Negroes as tenants. The Borough of Brooklyn has furnished many examples of this sort of spite selling and leasing, or at least published threats to carry out such proceedings. One reason for this is because Brooklyn is largely a borough of home owners, who are vitally interested in the disposition of the property adjacent to them. The threat to install presumably obnoxious neighbors has therefore in most cases proved sufficient to enforce the wishes of those employing such devices.
A recent incident of this sort, however, seems to indicate that such threats have lost their power to scare and that a black neighbor is no longer regarded as the body that tradition has long held him. According to the daily press, a physician on Union street, where the property was restricted as to the preservation of uniform courtyards, was prevented from constructing a driveway through his courtyard to connect with his basement garage. The neighborhood sentiment being adverse to this destruction of the courtyard, the owner advertised his home for sale to Negroes. But instead of this threat having the effect of forcing the neighbors to withdraw their opposition to the proposed roadway, they insisted upon the preservation of the courtyard and the appearance of the street as originally planned. When asked about the advertisement for Negro buyers, one of the adjoining property owners, also a physician, said: "To the persons imbued with the proper human qualities the color of one's skin is of secondary consideration." Another doctor whose home is across the street from the property in question, said he would rather have law abiding Negroes on the block than persons who have contempt for the law.
This knockout blow to the black body in an exclusive section of, Brooklyn is undoubtedly due to the considerable and growing number of colored property owners in the borough. Scattered in different localities, they have proved an object lesson in the community. Their presence demonstrated that the home owner of the race takes as much pride in keeping up and improving his property as any other individual. It has proved that he can be an unobjectionable neighbor minding his own business, while alive to public improvements and seeking only the undisturbed possession of his own premises.
A continuance of this common sense policy will put the quietus on the endeavor to create and maintain a black bogy out of the colored homeeeker, because of his complexation. Every man and woman of the race, settling in a new neighborhood should realize that they furnish an object lesson to those around them and act accordingly.
NEW PHASE OF RED CROSS WORK.
A new phase of Red Cross service has been developed in the form of first aid on the Pullman cars, as well as in the waiting rooms at the terminals. Experience has demonstrated the need for such assistance to women and children on long journeys by rail and the Pullman officials encouraged a proposition to teach the matrons employed by them. The publicity bureau of the Red Cross tells how this work was started:
The first to avail herself of this instruction was Mrs. Mabel Fitts, for fourteen years employed as maid and manicurist with the Pullman Company. Leave of absence was granted Mrs. Fitts that she might take the Red Cross courses, and she entered the Harlem Colored Health Center Upstairs instruction under Mrs. Jemison Wheatland and graduating in the early summer.
Mrs. Fitts has moved to Lake Ridge and Twentythree Company England where she is employed the summer four weeks.
Extracts from the acceptance speech of the Republican nominee for President, Senator Warren G. Marling, delivered at Marion, Ohio on July 22, 1920:
"I believe the federal government should give its effective aid in solving the problem of ample and becoming housing of its citizenship."
"I believe the Negro citizens of Argentina should be guaranteed the engagement of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their guardians in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and 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, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every commitment is to orderly government. People ever will disregard the wisdom of the enactment of a law—there is divided opinion respecting the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative—but they can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement.
Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of congress must harmonize with the constitution else they soon are adjudged to be void; congress enacts the laws, and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot separate orderly government with contempt for law enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands, but perversion and evasion mark the paths to the failure of government itself."
on special chartered trains with the American Bankers Association, the National Electric Light and American Street Railway Association, and has taken shorter tours to New Orleans and Dayton, Ohio, the National Cash Register Association. "But on none of those points out, "was I able to give service as my Red Cross training, it enabled me to render."
The Pullman Company has been impressed with the advantages of attending this new type of service that arrangements are now being made the Chicago offices with the Red Cross Chapter in that city to conduct and tenuously with the New York College special courses in Home Nursing and First Aid. Pullman maids, either in New York or Chicago, may be admitted to these courses. By this the present handicap, whereby a Pullman maid whose run ends alternately in New York and Chicago must call her lessons, will be overcome. At either point she may join the city without loss of time or instruction.
Besides adding to the comfort and safety of the travelling public, this course of instruction naturally increases the efficiency and usefulness of those employees who take it. The time request for lessons may require some personal sacrifice, but the results in increased ability to cope with emergencies is likely to make the employee more valuable both to the company and to the travelling public.
The fourth Red Cross roll call is defined as not a drive nor a company will take place next month. Between Nov. 11, Armistice Day, and Nov. 21, Thanksgiving Day, when the number of ten million people for the call is called for, The widest course of this great organization, of which Pullman first aid is a new place, will ensure a hearty response.
The Florida Sentinel, published by Jacksonville, asks with some humour, "Is it a crime to be a citizen? It adds:
Colored men and women are restricted by right of the supreme law on land; when any man speaks or acts as though his right of citizenship is unlawful insurpation on the land of colored men and women he is obliged in the role of the innocent to the extent of making him publicly ridiculous. It is not to exercise the right of a citizen registering and then going to the election day and voting your vote.
Those who are creating, or create terror by screaming out, "Gray Rule," and such other acts showing poor judgment and love by so doing.
The stock argument of the white South against the exercise of citizenship rights by the Negro, is that tariffs of Negro domination. Such a fear of genuine, would betray a sad lack of confidence in the boasted superiority of whites, who possess the advantage of numbers and better educational facilities.
Galveston, Texas is to have a college, where shorthand, topical civil service course for postal carriers and railway mail clerk keeping and accounting courses taught. A picture in the Galveston shows an imposing battery of officers, with the feminine force of unique costumes and headgear should recommend the institute a popular favor.

Jersey Choir Sings Well; Mrs. Hare's Creole Songs
Wilson Lamb of Orange, N. J., director of the chair at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, East Orange, had his singers at the Roscoe Memorial Institutional Church, 324 Washington street, on Wednesday evening, October 6, at which time they gave a program consisting of several soloes and concerted numbers, the printual features being a group of solos by Mine. M. Lourenin Chatman, soprano, and a sacred cantata, "Oer. Death Triumphman," by Gabriel.
Mrs. Chaiman, as are the other members of the choir, is one of Mr. Lamb's pupils, and has been studying with him during the past few months. She has a delicate soprano voice, with coloratura possibilities. She has not yet reached a very great degree of excellence in bravura work, but she has total quality of a high degree. I heard her sing two songs of distinctively different type, Massachusetts "Keep Them Worn Eyes," and Ardell's famous Kiss Waltz. She also sang Gilda's aria from Verdi's Rigoletto, "Caro Nome," but this I did not hear.
In the Masseenet number her voice was singularly effective, with a purity of tone and ability to pitch somewhat unassual. Her enunciation, however, and this applauded the Ardilli walts as well, can be decidedly improved and ought be. In order to number her voice shows great possibilities.
Mr Lamb had fourteen voices in his ensemble at this recital, fifteen, in fact, joining himself, as he sang even, even through conducting. The rendition of Geliel's cantata was most excellent. The chorus work was of a high order and gave evidence of the fact that it is not always necessary to have a large number of singers to produce volume of tone. I heard this choir several months ago and their work then was noteworthy, but there has been a considerable improvement. Precision of attack, control of the legato and delightful shading will appear to their previous effort. This, of course, ought naturally follow in application and earnest study, coupled with industrious practice.
As a matter of fact, it does not always do so. Mr. Lamb is fortunate in that he has singers under his control all the time. They are not only members of his choir, but they are his pupils in voice culture. And the result is seen in the excellence of their work.
The program on Wednesday night opened with a duet, "At Dawning," by Geliel, by Mme. Burnedine Mason, contralto, and W. O. Brooks, senior; by Dionne D. Moss, tror, sang D. Hardetok's "Because" and I know a lovely girl, by Mrs Beach's "Indian Lullaby" was sung by a quartet of female singers of Miss Alice Burton Russell, first soprano; Miss A. Morton, good soprano; Mrs Margaret Pennington, first contralto; Mme. Mason, second soprano. I could not get there in time to hear any of the first part.
In schools in the caniata were taken by Miss Russell, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Mire, Mrs. Chaiman and Mme. Mason. All of them sang well and in Mr. Brooks was glad to see a decided improvement in his work. Miss Russell and Mme. Mason have voices that are agreeable to the ear and one likes to hear often. The parts taken by Mr. Lamb were sung artistically, as is every time. The choir is filling a number of concert engagements in New York and at the same time Mr. Lamb is hard at work on an ambitious program for the annual choir recital in the spring.
Mr. Lamb is preparing his recital program for the incoming preschool will fill a number of engagements in the East before coming to New York in his annual appearance. Following his New York recital Mr. Lamb will make a southern tour, singing in the principal cities of the South.

I am told that Carl Fischer, the New York publisher, is sending me copies of the publication of Mrs. Hare's arrangements of six works and that Musical America is printing her article on Creole music.
With a great deal of pleasure that the action of the New York local, the National Association of Negro Musicians, is noted in regard to the scholarship awarded to Marion Cumbo, the talented young cellist of $100, awarded after a competitive examination, has been applied for a position for this term at the Institute of Musical Art. An award of $10 has been voted him by the Coleridge-Taylor Society, a young composer in New York of which little has been heard. It is a certainty, how the joint exhibition in this contribution to a worthy young student includes the right sort of membership in the organization and it will be heard that the future Marion Cumbo is one of our most talented and most deserving musical students and I am sure all who have knowledge of his ambition in the past will join in the hope that his future development will be successful.

find carved words: "Liberty, Equality Fraternity." The French people make a sincere effort to realize in fact the ideals embodied in the words, that is, in their civic relations. Everybody is Monsieur, Madari, or Mademoiselle, and "Merci" is on their lips for the slightest courtesy. Of course; there is, probably there will always be, a subtle social aristocracy of lirains, wealth and blood. One has to be indeed well recommended to penetrate the inner circles of the best French family life. But that's so in all countries—Russian, French, and English—understanding. Even there brains control. Lening and Trotsky, whatever the defects of their political and social schemes, are not merely clever—breath are able, sagacious, far-farseeing. In analytic power Lenine is most unaccent. But that's a digestion.
Rebuilding France.
France is a very orderly country. She is working with might and men to overcome the ravages of war and is succeeding beyond expectations. Her labor troubles have been contagious. Her poverty, the lack of education, the strength in over they need is root, know that the very heart of their country was disregarding and stunt its establishment before all of France can be well again. In 1931, the balances of trade with transcontinental countries like Italy, Italy and Spain were weak.
"The philosophy of French life can be stained in a muttishit: To face the challenges of life, we must them in practical terms without losing sight of ideal bases and goals."
SURPRISED AND ELATED!
TO THE Editor of Tax Act:
I want to congratulate you not only for running a splendid newspaper, but upon having a real up-to-date plant. When I came into New York a few years ago, and saw the side walk crowd gazing down at me, I yelled, running off thousands of papers an hour. I was both surprised and elated! It was a much greater surprise to see the well equipped mechanical end of your plant, than it was to see your up-to-date business office on the floor. You have my hearty congratulations!

COX AND WILSON
As the political judgment day is very near at hand, I beg space to drop an open letter to the millions of voters throughout this country—and especially the colored voters—to prepare to flee the wrack which is sure to come if the Cox-Wilson ticket he victorious at the poll on November 2.
You have read, dear voters, somewhere in the Bible, that our Lord Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." And this should bring to your minds the fact that Cox and Wilson are one! Indeed, Cox's election can narrowen less than a "third term" for Wilson and he hasn't had enough of that self-centered part of the White House at Washington? The very fact that the Smith has grown tired of Wilson, and is against him, is enough to make angels weep over his further retention in the White House or his domination over his successor. Then, too, there is W. J. Bryan, one of the biggest guns in the Democratic party, who is taking no part in trying to give Wilson a new term through the election of Gov. Cox. Cox can show the importance of putting this present Democratic administration out of business.
It is said that when the African lion roars his terrific voice swells over hill and valley, filling a circle six miles in diameter, and that every life being within the circle, whether man or bird, is more fearful. But there is something more fearful to the Democratic party even than this, for the voters are going to roar by their ballots and their voices will be heard from Maine to California, from the Lakes to the Gulf, which will be the democratic party trample at the sound from Maine to some. We believe the sun, moon and stars are weary of shining on such a disgusted administration which we've had to endure for the past seven years, and no convict, who is now serving a life sentence in the penitentiary and feel more happy to be paroled from the world, we feel when Wilson will be told to get his duds and hurry out of that great office.
Every man and woman who can vote in this coming election should be found at the polls on November 2. And every saint and sinner in the United States should feel to be the Charming and Coolidge of the Dancing and Coolidge. I believe that Harding and Coolidge are on the Lord's side—and that's the very side I'm on.
Voters, don't forget the fact that November 2 is the day and time for a general "house cleaning" of Democrats. You want to make a clean sweep that will last till the little ones yet unborn appear, upon the scene.
Colored brother, when you get that ballot in your hand remember how your race has been segregated and discriminated against.
And last, but not least, remember your black brothers, whose rights and lives have been taken from them in the wrongful advocates of the League of Nations.

"ACCEPTING THE SOUTH."
The Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, 237 West Fifty-third street one of the largest and most influential churches in Greater New York, said in a letter to the editor of Tweg New York Aor: "People everywhere can support Mr. Fox without accepting the whole South in all of its disfamishment, lynching and unjust treatment of the Negro."
4. Delightful Resort
In the columns of your estimable paper there has been a modest but attractive advertisement all this season, telling of a really beautiful and unique summering-place in the mountains of the Appalachian Mountains, Wood Park Farm, near Towanda, Pa. on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. My little family and I went to this lovely farm this summer and spent our entire vacation time there. It is one of the loveliest spots imaginable, glorious tofootills all about, and the absolute quiet and yet busy ongoing of real farm life. As the poet sings:
are all there, and also the modern comforts, for the house with its lawn, its garden, its dairy, its four-flocks, its large rooms with sunny exposure, its large kitchen with all this is thoughtfully and enquiringly designed.

BLUE CIRCLE NOTES.
Mrs. Adah B. Thoum' Visit to Miss Bonnie M. Hawes, the Circle's First Public Health Nurse, at Palathtm, Fla.
On arriving at Palatka, Flosida, I drove to Mrs. W. E. Lawson's establishment on Main street. She is a practical nurse and conducts a small private sanitarium of six beds, with a neat operating room well equipped for minor work. Mrs. Lawson directed me to where Miss Hawes was living, where I was whatsoever, not finding her, but questioned so, as she had responded to a very urgent call about one and a half miles out in the country. I lost no time in making my way to this home in distress. On arriving, I saw a young man standing in the door of this humble home with a baby nine months old in his arms; two children, three and six years of age, were standing by his side. Looking in, I could see the face of a child, if the community nurse, Miss Hawes, was making a visit there. He answered in the affirmative, and called her to the door.
I shall never forget my impression of the Blue Circle as I saw it that day. Miss Hawes approached the door in a soaked white uniform, her head adorned with her dainty cap, with a tiny blue circle in the centre; her arm band bore the same symbol, also her, service bag of white canvas. Her surprise and delight came when she met her. She invited me in to see her at her work. I was pleased and followed her into a small, poorly furnished back room, void of the necessities of life, where a young woman of about twenty-six years of age lay on a bare mattress with a small pad under her, and one sheet which partly covered her; a glass of milk set on a chair near by, and a little bunch of scarlet sage, which Miss Hawes had placed on the pillow, was a that was visible. The girl went to the room and from a case of pellaraa. Miss Hawes said that this was the sadest case she had seen in this community.
After our visit, we drove to the home of Rev. W. Jackson, a splendid Christian man, minister of the Zion A. M. E. Church. He told me of his efforts and interest in the work of The Circle and the Community Nursing Problem. There were some beautiful white women back letters from his porch with three words: $1,000 Needed for a Community Hospital for Colored People. Each citizen is asked to contribute $1. Will you help? Miss Hawes said that Rev. Jackson punned that banner over his back three weeks ago, and walked all over Palatka to activate the movement. He had succeeded in raising $1,000 through this and other sources.
Saturday evening, August 8th, Miss Hawes gave a street scene in the public
amount of which time eight little girls attended an Ovitz clinic many years ago and told too many. Through their efforts 9123 praised them. At the time of our interview, we drove out to the hospital site. It is very desirable situated, just within the town limits, with sewage and electric light within eight feet. The pants were in place and a carriage of hammer had just arrived. The down for the hosiery was too far. Mrs. Lawson has kindly decided to donate her equipment whenever it is needed.
This is only a brief summary of the work that is being done at Palatka. The cisterns are all intertwined, now that they see the nurse. They feel that you have their welfare at heart, and deeply feel that they too can not be a part of the work. The Circle for Negro Relief, Inc., whose headquarters are located at 469 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
HAITI AND MEXICO
Senator Harding is quite right. Our rule in Haiti and Santo Domingo cannot be justified.
The Administration has completely subjugated these two republics. It rules supreme within their borders. It withholds the salaries of the "president" and other officials, if they oppose our sovereignty! They must yield obedience or we dock their pay. Naturally, they yield to keep out of jail or the poor-house!
Contrast our policy in these two little republics with our policy "in Mexico. Our interest, in Mexico are too great. Our interest, in Mexico are too great. Hundreds of Americans have been murdered, tortured and kidnapped in Mexico, they have not suffered in the two little republics. We took Vera Cruz, losing thirty lives, and then gave it up. We sent Pershing into Mexico, and when he drew near Villa we ordered him out, after two of his scouting parties had been slaughtered. The ignorant classes in Mexico had reason to feel that they had driven us out, and that we had retreat which would have justly caused the downfall of any foreign government.
Now how do we account for the inconsistency of our policy with Mexico and the two little republics? There can be but one explanation. Haiti and Santo Domingo are small, weak and helpless. The Administration can be brave with them. But to subjugate Mexico would be difficult. And so the Administration wrote notes. It poor old John Lind to talk to the Mexicans, and he was easily vanquished in the battle of Mexico, and nothing to call her to account. She was safe from the fate of Haiti and Santo Domingo. It is humiliating to make this admission, it is there no alternative.
It does not suffice that Mr. Daniels and Mr. Colby insist that we are merely oppressing *domitry* in Haiti. Why not suppress *domitry* in Mexico? Did we do it? The danger of this policy in Haiti is simply this: If we assume to invade and subjugate these small, weak American republics that have not harmed us, we will not submit digits elsewhere we will not only lose the respect of the world but the American republics will begin to suspect us. They will say to us that we believe in "self-determination" for the strong and not the weak.
Refuge Houses For Colored Girls Have Formal Openings
The Katy Ferguson Sojourner Truth Houses, Incorporated Under One Board, Hold Reception to Throngs of Visitors
More than two hundred prominent men and women, colored and white, were present during the afternoon and evening of Thursday, October 7, at the formal openings of the Sojourner Truth House, at 170, and the Katie Ferguson House at 162, both West 130th street. Dr. Katherine Bement Davis, president of the joint board controlling both houses, was present and acted as hostess for the occasion.

Staff of Workers.
Miss Athhea M. Rochon, the superintendent in charge of both houses, has her office and private quailers in the Sojourner Truth House.

The head teacher for Macon, Ga., the head teacher formerly of Cambridge, Maas, and her assisting is Miss Florine Jones, formerly of Macon, Ga., a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, and for a number of years a teacher in the Chattanooga, Tenn., high school. The children are all sent to school every day in charge of one of the workers.
After being received at the Sojourner Truth House, the visitors were escorted to the school, where they just a few doors, further East. This building has sixteen rooms, including two baths, and number of large closets. It is intended to accommodate eighteen girls, exclusive of babies, for whom a separate nursery is maintained on the top floor. Mrs. Blanche Wilson is the grandmother, are assisted by Miss Ema Hutherwill, who is the person of Clara Gross. The Katie Ferguson House was opened July 26, 1920.
T. Is home is open to girls above 16 years of age, and to immature mothers of any age, coming from social workers, probation officers, hospitals or on recommendation from private, sources. As with the sister home, the care given temporary until permanent home or present are provided. A. There are ten girls in the home with eight babies.
The arrangement is similar in both homes, save that the matron and one assistant have rooms on the first floor, with the other workers having quarters on the top floor. A large reception room is on the first floor of both houses and on the third floor are the girls' rooms. Much interest was shown in the two homes by visitors, among whom were many prominent social workers and officials of the city and charity organizations. At the Sojourner Truth House the guests were served coffee and sandwiches, followed with punch and cake at the Katy Furgeon House. The house were purchased with funds from the community held by the Katy Furgeon-Sojourner Truth Board, which has the entire responsibility for the financial management, in

The scenery and costumes attracted more than usual attention in Chicago and other cities where "Canary Cottage" has been produced, and the company boasts of a beauty chorus which compa-favorably with any seen in New York in recent years. Some of the songs are very tuneful and catchy.

"Broadway Gossips" at Lafayette.
Following the footsteps of his brothers, Flourmoy and Irvin, the youngest of the Miller boys, Quintard, is now appearing in New York in the role of producer and comedian. This week he is at the Lafayette Theatre with his "Broadway Gossips," and a big Monday night audience greeted the newcomers.
The patrons on opening night were liberal with their applause, especially the young men seated upstairs, who are quite demonstrative whenever they desired an encore.
The show is in two acts and ten scenes. Instead of opening with the usual chorus, the first number on the program is a dance. Then the singing and comedy starts.
B. B. Joyner is the chief fun maker and gets laughs throughout the show. Quintin Miller is destined to shine in the drama some day good. There is Theresa Borroughs-Brooks, who established herself a big favorite in Harlem during the successful engagement of the Billy King Company a few seasons ago. She was accorded a warm reception on her first appearance and scored in her songs.

QUALITY IN SEARCH OF PRETTY CHORUS GIRLS
The Quality Amusement Corporation has to come to the same realization as other producing concerns that good looking chorus girls are an asset to musical shows and has set about bringing into the world young women of musical atractive years both as to face and figure long ago. F. Ziegfield learned that in order to make the Ziegfield Lullies a big attraction with pretty girls.
The Lafayette Amusement Corporation is now in search of girls possessing looks that would make an audience at up and take notice, and this beauty hunt is not confined to New York, but throughout the country. Salaries never before given to untrained choirs girls in colored dresses will be paid applicants on which the stamp of approval is placed.
ASSOCIATION RENEWS LAFAYETTE PATRONAGE
Among the many exodus that former pattern of the Lattuce Theatre plan to generate patronize board, one more now that it exclusively under colored management, as is also the Quality Announcement Corporation, is the announced intentions of the Association, of which Jesse A. Shupp, Jr., is the head, to turn out every Wednesday night in a body, commencing with this week's engagement of the Broadway Gossip.
Until several months ago it was the custom of the Association to reserve the first two rows in the order for every Wednesday evening; but when it became apparent that coloured men were having no say as to what attractions should be played at the Lafayette the organization withdrew its patronage.
THE LINCOLN THEATRE
Extensive preparations are being made at the Lincoln Theatre for the appearance of William Farnum in "If I Were King," the William Fox special screen production based on Justin Huntly McCarthy's story of "If I Were King" that forever lingers in the memory—not only because the play was a success, perhaps, but also because the book was so widely read; in fact, still is being read. How many persons can remember the plays in which Mr. Sothern has scored success? Yet you will find that if you mention Sothern's name you will get the response: "Oh yes, he played in 'If I Were King.'"
The character of Francois Villon, enacted on the stage by Mr. Sothern, seems particularly suited for William Farnum, and the Fox star is said to portray it with all the artistry that years of stage experience have given him.
William Farnum has done some splendid work for the screen. His pictures are always worth seeing; but when he appears in a story like "If I Were King" he stands, out among all other film stars.
Games Wanted
The Chiwawa Athletic Club has open dates to all teams, desiring games for the season. Joseph Washington, manager, and George Ralston coach, have planned to turn out a team that will show up better than did last year. For games write, Joseph Washington, 1207 Second Avenue.

DOUBLE 90 and 95.
It has come to the notice of this office that the new Commonwealth Sporting Club, located in the old Palace, Casino on 135th Street near Madison Ave., is promoting its first show Thursday night, Oct. 14. Despite the fact that this new club has such celebrated Americans as Louis Grossman for its president, Sol Grossman as secretary and Lew Raymond as matchmaker, we had believed that they would not place the customary ban on colored boxers owing to their geographical location. For being located in 135th St., the heart of the so-called Black Bell, it is reasonable to believe that these club officials expect a large part of their patrons to consist of colored men. All of which is the same as saying, the Commonwealth Sporting Club expects to exist through the support of the dollars paid at their gate by Negroes.
No Negroes To Show
Such being the case we are at a loss to understand why the Commonwealth Sporting Club has seen it to bar the colored boxer from taking part in its first set of bouts Thursday night. Why has this club closed the door in the Negro boxer's face. Does this mean that the Commonwealth Club does not want the colored fighter as an attraction at its shows? Is that meant to discourage the numerous colored boxers who are paying regular monthly fees to this club in order to use its premises as training quarters? Or is it a slap at the colored fight follower to show him that he is not wanted at the Commonwealth Club?
This Au, was the first paper in Harlem to announce the coming of the Commonwealth Sporting Club. Our representative upon interviewing the matchmaker had hoped to see the new club succeed through giving the public what it wants in boxing—the bear boxers in decision bouts, regardless of color. We had hoped for this in spite of the knowledge we had of Lew Raymond's former connections with the old pilot of the defunct 15th Street A. C. Close students of boxing need not delve into history to recall that John the Barber was the power behind the throne when the Frawley Law was permitting that now defunct club to operate. Followers of the shows were treated to matches that were nothing short of cruelty to ani-
mails. People were charged fabulous sums to witness inferior tugmen opposed to near-do-wells said to be managed by the club promoter.
Will Historay Repeat?
Are we to have a repetition of the old days? Or worse, are we to have men come in our very midst and raise the color line which we are trying so hard to erase?
The N.A. cannot be urged, bigger nor paid to boost any organization which does not live up to the New York A.P. policy of giving a fair deal to everybody and recognition where it is due. Possibly the Commonwealth Sporting Club would like to explain its action of excluding Negro leagues from taking part in its first show. Possibly, Ray Raymond, Messrs. Sol and Louis Grassman or even John the Barber, who we have been informed is still the power behind the throne, can straighten out readers out on any point.
HAPPY RHONE'S BIGGEST
NIGHT FRIDAY.
What has long been awaited by buyers of jazz and good entertainment is due to arrive Friday evening when Happy Rhone puts on his big show. As might be expected, this is the one big event of the season. Tartty-fast jazz solos all of whom are regular entertainers down on Broadway, will endear to again please Holmes as they did last Spring in Happy's first success. These artists will play for the dancing from 8:30 till 12 when the cabaret singers will occupy the center of the stage. Every star advertised has informed Happy that he or she will be on hand so that the best bill ever produced in cabaret singing and dancing may be expected Friday.
