Sen. Wadsworth’s Record Against Race Discrimination;
Democrats Become Democrat as Deleat Appears Sure
Hon. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., is a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate from the State of New York. His illustrious traditions, statesmanlike grasp and sound patriotism entitle him to the enthusiastic support of all good citizens. His ardent devotion to the tenets of Republican doctrine and the signal ability with which he has performed his senatorial duties place the voters of New York under the obligation of retaining him in his present position. Not only our national welfare, but our international relationship, is involved in the success of the present campaign.
The control of the Senate is of parallel importance with that of the Presidency. It by any mischief or chance the Democratic party should gale the majority in the upper branch of congress, there will be no hope for release from the illusions of maladministration whose burdens the people are now bearing so grievously. The Senate has a constitutional and coordinate share in shaping our international policy. Without the cooperation of this branch of the government, President Harding will be hopelessly handicapped. Great is the responsibility of any group of Republicans who would jeopardize Republican control of the Senate during the critical time which the nation is now facing.
WELDED TO SOVERIGN WILL
Senator Wadsworth, true to his received principles of freedom of thought and speech, opposed the adoption of the Nebraska Amendment as long as it was a matter of opinion and discussion, but when the majority had opposed the security word like any true Admiralty, he added cheerfully to the monarchy will of the people.
While the claim of Senator Wadsworth to support is strong with all of the Republican and independent voters of the State of New York, it is especially compelling upon the Negro contingent, the name of Wadsworth is familiar in the political and moral history of the State. The Senator comes from the line of abolitionists. His greatness, general James Wadsworth, ran for Governor of the State of New York in 1802. Secretary Seward, Horace Greeley and Thurlow Wadsworth, when at that time, had not been fully baptized with the spirit of Negro freedom, opposed his nomination because they feared that he would make opposition to slavery the chief plank in his platform, but when whit deterred by this formidable opposition, he won the nomination and went down to glorious defeat for this righteous cause.

Hill Case Dismissed by Federal Judge in Arkansas Conspiracy Cases Against Robt. Hill are Dropped by Order of United States Attorney General-Hill Safe in Kansas
(Special to The New York Acq)
Little Rock, Ark.—An aftermath of the claim, Ark. riots is the dismissal by Judge Tricher in the United States District Court of two cases against Rob. L. Hill, the Negro who fed from Arkansas after the riots and whose exhumation was refused, by Governor Alen of Kansas on the ground that Hill should not receive justice in the Arkansas courts.
Hill was charged with conspiring with W. E. Powell, another colored man, whereby Powell was to imperforce a United States offer. Powell was tried for the charge and Judge Tricher ordered a verdict not guilty.
The dismissal of the cases was asked for by June P. Wooten, United States assistant attorney general, at the direction of the United States Attorney General. One indictment had been returned against Hill by a Helena, Ark. jury, and another by a federal grand jury here in Little Rock.
REQUISITOIN WAS REFUSED.
Wien Hill fed into Kansas, Governor Brough sought who have hap returned to a requisition charging night stalking and conspiracy, and amassed a large amount
his very soul. I am opposed to all men all laws and all regulations that humiliate decent law-abiding human beings, and I don't care whether the victims are white or black."
A Senator from the great State of New York, speaking aggressively upon all laws and regulations on this, is of interest to many law-abiding human beings, and he humiliates the just manifestations of the entire race. Senator Wadsworth still further affirms: "As for the crimes of mob violence so often perpetrated against our citizens of the Negro race, they are a blot upon the good name of the United States; the people who perpetrate them and the officials who step aside and allow them to happen should be punished to the full limit of the law; if existing law is not adequate, it should be made so."
In this declaration Senator Wadsworth shows that he stands for the enactment of righteous laws and the righteous enforcement of such laws when enacted. This principle constitutes the chief issue not only affecting the Negro but the entire American people. This nation must destroy lawlessness, or lawlessness will destroy the nation. Officially and personally he has served the interests of the people. Senator James W. Wadsworth abundantly deserves, and will doubtless receive the enthusiastic and unanimous support of the Negro voters in the State of New York who have it in their power to contribute mightily to the right solution of the great issues which now devolve upon America and upon the world.

and criticism was caused when three prominent Arkansaswegos, Bishop-J. M. Connors of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. J. A. Booker, president Arkansas Baptist College, and Dr. Scott, president Philander-Smith College, are alleged to have requested the hams governor to honor the requisition. This, however, the governor refused to do.
Then an effort was made to have Hill returned to Arkansas under the federal indictment, but Federal Judge Pollock of Kansas City, refused to grant this request unless the federal authorities of Arkansas agreed to return Hill to Kansas in case the charges against him were not satisfied, or, in case of conviction under these charges, that he be returned to Kansas at expiration of what ever sentence the United States Court might presume. This the Arkansas federal authorities would also agree to, consequently Hill had remained in Kansas.
Now that these indictments have been dismissed, Hill is free, to come or go to his phone, but it is hardly probable that he will put himself within reach of any Arkansas collector, or fob-
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
SUPPORTS ALEXANDER
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE)
Newark N. J.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Colored voters' Union of Edinburgh County, held last Thursday evening, at Clark's Hall, Neabitt street, a campaign committee, composed of J. E. Suller, Rev. J. P. Love, Elijah Johnson, Jan. Tisdale and Wm. T. Savoy, was appointed to conduct an intensive campaign for the Republican ticket and especially for Dr. W. G. Alexander, candidate for the Assembly.
With the entance of the women into the political life of New Jersey there is greater interest in the political campaign than ever before, and with conditions seem almost certain that this state will this year elect a colored representative to the House of Assembly.
The colored voters are fully aware of the many prejudices that exist here and are not taking any chances by being overconfident; and the Colored Voters' Union, which is composed of all the local colored Republican clubs in the county, expects to get out every voter on Election day.
Dr. Alexander was successful in the recent Primary, which was the hardest and most bitterly fought political battle ever waged in this state; there were fifty

Washington, D. C.—The United States Supreme Court has handed down an opinion in the case of six of the twelve colored men sentenced to death as a result of the alleged race riots at Elaine, Phillips county, Arkansas, affirming the death decision of the Arkansas courts. Frank Moore, Ed. Hicks, J. E. Knox, Paul Hall and Frank Hicks are the men concerned and it is now up to Governor Brough as to whether or not they shall die.
Just about the time the Supreme Court was handing down its decision, Col. G. W. Murphy, chief counsel for the men, cases of these ment. It is thought that W. Murphy, chief counsel for the men, Governor Brough will at least commute died at a hospital in Little Rock, Ark.
Others Convicted Second Time
The other six men, Ed. Ware, Will Wardlaw, Joe Fox, Ed. Cole, John Martin and All. Banks were granted a new trial by the Arkansas Supreme Court, but were convicted the second time and sentence I to be electrocuted. Their case has gone again to the state Supreme Court on appeal.
The recent action of the federal District Court in dismissing the two indictments against Robert L. Hill, alleged to have been the main figure in the Elaine troubles, may have some bearing on the PINE BLUFF FAMILIES HOMELESS AFTER FIRE
(Special to Tue. New York Act)
Pine Bluff, Ark—Nearly four hundred colored families are homeless as a result of its destructive fire which raged here on the afternoon of Columbus Day, October 12. The fire originated in the Thad Fields—dwelling at 1305 Indiana streets, and swept nearly every building in the area between Indiana and Virginia streets, from Tenth to Thirteenth avenues. All the homes, save two, were occupied by colored families.
Ten city blocks are included in the burnt area and among the buildings destroyed were the Centennial Baptist Church, four grocery stores and two wood yards. The firemen were unable to light the fire effectively as it was outside of the water district. Most of the houses were owned by families occupying them, and were substantial dwelling units of four, five and six rooms.
In 1907 a fire of similar extent destroyed 169 houses occupied mainly by white mill operatives, employed by the Cotton Belt shop.
Third Fields, in whose home the fire started, declared that there was no fire in his move, and that the first incursion he and Mrs. Fields had of the fire was when they smelled smoke. Going out of the house they found the outside enveloped in flames.

Bolttled Charges Made by Age Editor but Haitian Commandant's Report Also Gave Facts of "Indiscriminate Killings"
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE)
Washington, D. C.—Developments in Haitian matters have come thick and fast. After denouncing as false the statements that several thousand Haitians had been ruthlessly murdered by American marines, Secretary Daniels has been compelled by developments to confess their truth. And further than that, he has appointed a Naval Board of Investigation to investigate the invasion of Haiti, and prominent officials in various governmental departments refer to this board as the most important naval inquiry board constituted since the days of the Sampson-Schley controversy over the victory of Santiago bay.
This action invites us as a direct result of the article written by James Welson Johnson, construc- ting editor of The New York Times and acting secretary of the N. A., A. C. which articles four in all, were published in "The Motion" and reproduced in The Ack. The report of Brigham Young Barnett, formerly commissioned of marina, in which the slaughter of Jihadis is verified, has created a sensation on all sides. Gen. Barnett characterizes the killings as "indiscriminate slaughter," and put the total at about 1,230.

The charges made by Mr. Johnston in his articles were taken up by Senator Harding and used in some of his speeches. His use of the foxes called forth a denial candidates for the twelfth Assembly position; Dr. Alexander was one of the right winning candidates supported by the Republican Leader, receiving approximately 25,000 votes.
A series of meetings will be held in all sections of the country in the next two weeks.

Charlotte, N. C.—Bishop George W. Clinton, who presides over the first episcopal district of the A. M. E. Zion Church, has sent an open letter to Senator Warren G. Harding. Marion, Ohio, Republican nominee for President. Writing from his episcopal headquarters here at 415 North Myers street, Bishop Clinton calls attention to the fact that at the general council of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, held at Richmond, Va., a delegation of fifty representatives was named to carry a message to Senator Harding from the five hundred thousand members of the Zion Methodist concession.
These men, said Bishop Clinton, represented the interest of 120,000 or more American citizens, to secure for them protection of the Nation of Liberty and opportunity for the purpose of happiness which the Nation was established to protect by the protection of citizenship. Declanion and the Republican organization caused the cause of liberty and justice for all men and was the party which under God was to bring citizenship to his people, paid a tribute to Abraham Lincoln and the men of the Union army, white and black, who fought to preserve the unity of the United States.

P. telegraphed Senator Harding, calling his attention to the substitution of the charges and Senator Harding immediately wired Secretary Daniels asking for publication of all information in position of the Navy Department relating to its administration of the Haitian Republic.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels replied to Senator Harding the next day by announcing the appointment of the Naval Board of Investigation, composed of the following high naval officials: Hear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, J. H. Oliver, United States Navy, and Brigadier General J. H. Pendleton.

Mr. Lewis declared that the great issue of the present campaign for the colored voter is personal security from mob violence;" the deaths of four thousand men and women, murdered, burned at the stake, in five America, is due to the public sentiment of the North and South alike that permits and tolerates it," declared the speaker. "On this point the Democratic platform is silent, Republican party in its platform pledges, with a Republican Senate and House, a federal law against lynching."

Negro Vote To Be Important Facto
With the Presidential election but a little more than a week away, the indications are, more and more to the effect that the people of this country are determined to repudiate Democracy and Wilsonism, and all that is embraced under that honeys. The party of prescription and prejudice, headed by the man who would be the crar of the country, is to be removed from power and an effort made to bring the country back to a basis of constitutional sanity by the election of Hering and Coolidge, the Republican nominee for President and Vice-President.
In bringing about this result it is clearly apparent that the vote to be cast by colored men and women will be an important factor. The advance reports from the various states of the North, East and West show that there has been a big increase in the number of colored men registering as compared with previous years. This is partly due, of course, to the large number of men who have come to the South in recent years, but there has been also much more activity and interest exhibited by the old resident Negro vote.

Except in a few communities, the women were registering for the first time. It has been commented upon as a remarkable fact that the women are showing shrewd interest in the campaign, and that they have really set an example for the men in many particulars. Reports from the various centers tell of admirable direction attribued by the women for the purpose of educating the new vote in the exercises of the franchise, including instructions as to how to mark the ballot so no votes will be lost through improper, marking.
That the Democrats are fighting without hope is evidenced every day in some form or other. One development has been a reputed intention on patrician Florida officials to arrest colored women, who vote or attempt to be on charges, of alleged illegal registration. In other cases, colored women have been told, when applying to register, that special "forms" were necessary for their qualification and the registrants would declare that these forms were not on hand. Then there has been deliberate and unqualified interferences by various Democrats leaders in the South to the effect that the colored women would be disfranchised just as the colored men had been in the past.

These actions have not been confined to the South. Consistent and repeated attempts have been made to scatter seeds of discontent and discussion in the states, East and West, to which large numbers of Negro migrants have come recently. In Detroit it was attempted to disrupt Republican interests by rumors and allegations of friction in the party ranks but the effort did not pan out. Advices from Detroit are that these rumors are without truth, and that there is no friction. On the other hand there has been an unusually large registration, as was noted in this paper last week, and the Negro vote will be practically solid for Harding and Coolidge.
In Ohio, the report says, the Democratic State Committee has appealed directly to race prejudice. Circulars are alleged to have been sent white voters asserting that the race problem must be handled in the North; as it has been handled in the South and that white voters should dispel the scaled black men. In Ohio six colored men have been nominated for the state legislature on the Republican ticket and the circular makes a direct appeal for their defeat solely on the ground of race. And it is charged that Governor Cox has approved this action of the state committee. These acts, however, have been characterized as the desperation of despair and their very exaggeration has served to minimize their potency.
New York City has shown an increase of more than forty per cent in the registered Negro vote, and according to advice received from other sections this percentage of increase is maintained throughout the various states which have an appreciable Negro vote. Notwithstanding the obstacles and obstructions placed in the way of the southern colored man and woman by the local election officials they have responded to the new opportunity and reports are to the effect that they are registered in considerable numbers.

This appears to have been the case in North Carolina, especially with the woman. The letter issued by Dr. J. B. Dudley, president of the A. and T.

The women, incensed at the cowardly attitude assumed by the writer of the letter, became more determined to take advantage of the new suffrage law. They are reported to have qualified in all sections of the state in large numbers, and it is said that in Greenshore, to show their indignation, practically every woman of voting age in the country has gone before the registrars.
The same story comes from all sections of the South, notwithstanding that there is no hope of "breaking the solid South."
A resume of the situation would seem to indicate that the Republican party is offering the people of the country of all classes a policy that will best reflect the present conditions of social unrest, industrial uncertainty and political unhealth. Prominent Democratic leaders, men and women, have announced that in this election they are severing themselves from their party and are going to do what they can to rid the country of its Wilsonian dictatorial rule, influenced and impregnated with Negro-hating southern Democratic policies.

The nation by constitutional means has not failed in the past to grant the negro these rights and privileges, but the nation has been woefully rigid in protecting the Negro in their enjoyment. The Negro has been nullified in effect what theathers wrought at so terrible a cost blood and treasure.
Crusade Against Injustice
We appeal to you as a candidate for the highest office within the gift of the American people to take the leadership in the nation in righting this monumental wrong against the memory of your father, against the proven identity of a race against the fair name and fame of the mightiest nation under the pumphoy of heaven. We ask you to take in leadership, not only of your great party, but of all the honorable and just men and women in every part of the nation and carry them forward in a great creed to put down the enemy, especially in that most horrible form, lathing to rest in the mean and emulating discipline and born of race prejudice, and to restore to the black citizens of America those constitutional privileges that have been so worthily won, but which have been mercy and intimidation hardened to so many of them. We ask you to as the leader of the Republican Party, the party of Freemason, Lincoln, Douglas, Summer, Graw and Russell, to explain this cause which is larger than any party that is larger than any race, that is large and as important as the nation's will. For the defiant American will we defend, that we will soon be found to still be defending the national government itself, and that, you know, and I know that it has already struck, and we do not know how or when the next will come.
12,000,000 Black American citizens expecting a rebirth of the spirit of freedom and justice in the nation they are expecting the Republican Party to announce its alliance to the great president upon which the nation was established that all men are created free and equal with equal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; they are expecting you to be fortunate in faith and impartial administration of the law and in uncompromising defense of the
constitution that was written in the blows of our father. We believe that your scoring integrity, your sane, broad and conservative stewardship will manifest themselves no more condescension than in dealing with the interests and claims of twelve million black Americans.
"We believe that more than ninety per cent of the men and women of our race, not handicapped by unrightful laws and intimidating methods, will go to the polls early and remain late in their efforts to restore the Republican party to power and to place you at the helm of the ship of state for the next four years. My people are thinking never before; they are weighing with utmost care the utterances and actions of all those who ignore activity and political in blind decision to a party fetch, not yet in hopes of world financial gain; they will be cast where past performances and consistent utterances and activities lead them to believe they have most to hope for in constructive service toward the best interests of then people and the nation."
JUDGE HARTMAN FOR CITY COURT JUSTICE
An active and vigorous campaign is being waged to insure the election of Judge Ginette Hartman, who is the Republican nominee for Justice of the City Court. His district includes all of the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Judge Hartman was elected to the Assembly in 1904, being the first Repub-
judge GUSTAVE HARTMAN.
from client in what was the old John
Assembly District in 29 years. He was
deceased in 1955 by a greatly increased
majority as a result of the solitary rec
red by him at Ebany.
He was two years appointed Justice of
the Municipal Court by the Mayor and
courts in 1951 being the act of the
legislature elected in that particular
decade. He served in that length from 1951
to 1955 and gave a stable and unparallel
administration of justice, and treated
lawyers and bracts with courtesy and
compassion.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2019
as an active worker in numerous other movements for the benefit of the poor and unfortunate of the countless and unselfish devotion.
During practically all of the War he was on the Municipal Court Bench. He took an active part in all the Liberty Loan and Red Cross Drives. He opened the Red Cross Driving in New York City at the Hippodrome and in various parts of the city, worked tirelessly for its success. Shortly after his retirement from the bench, he volunteered for service in the United States Army. In spite of his detective eyesight he was so eager to get into the service that he secured, in support of his application, endorsements from the late President Theodore Roosevelt, and other leading men of both parties. He would have been admitted into the service had it not been for the fact that as it is shown in the book by him in the War Department, which reads in part as follows: "Had the Armistice not been declared when it was, you certainly would have been commissioned, and I believe that a man with your qualifications was greatly needed in the work."
He is a member of the True Craftsman's Lodge of the F. & A. M., Past Chancellor Commander, Hartman Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Federal Camp, Modern Woodmen of America, Committee on Municipal Court Practice and Procedure, County Lawyers' Association, Republican County Committee, Executive Committee of the Young Republican Club, National Republican Club and charitable and lignocerent organization. On November 2nd, another tradition will be broken, when for the first time, a Republican running on a straight Republican ticket will be elected Justice of the City Court.
WM. H. BRADY FOR
STATE SENATOR
The state should limit the rent land owners can collect, according to William H. Brady, Republican candidate for the State Senator, from the 13th Senatorial District. If he is elected, one of his first acts will be legislation to prevent unreasonable rents.
"I don't believe in gouging people just because the emergency exists and they must have some place to live," said Mr. Brady yesterday. "I believe in fair play and the high rents people are paying for living quarters are an outrage. I shall do everything I can to get reasonable rents for the people if I am elected. I am not in the real estate business as my opponent is and haven't the incentive that such a business might give to boost the rents. Of course, in the real estate business, the higher the rent is, the more commission the real estate man makes. I have no such interests to serve and would work for reasonable rents."
Mr. Brady has many qualifications for the office he seeks. He was born and raised on North avenue between 47th and 48th streets and knows thoroughly the district's conditions and needs. He is a lawyer of twenty-five years' experience and has helped put a number of industrial and welfare measures through the legislature. He is a former president of the Rotary Club, is an ex-president of the Emmanuel Club and of the Greenwich Wheelchair, and as chairman of employment for discharged soldiers and sailors has helped obtain jobs for hundreds of wogged service men.
Other of Mr. Brady's plans for aiding his district are playgrounds for the children who are now forced to play in the streets and recreation centers for the young men and women.
Mr. Brady believes in the use of light wines and beer, and is not in favor of prohibition in its present form. He is strongly against the League of Nations. While Senator Boylan has carefully sidestepped stating his position on the League of Nations, he is running on the Democrat ticket which has endorsed the League without any changes or safewards.
Mr. Brady is making an active campaign in the 15th district, audited by many of the district's prominent men and women. On his advisory committee are sixty women, and more than 300 women are working for him throughout the district. Among those on his executive committee are Lorene P. Gams, Christian Schirchow, Henry W. Taft, Henry C. Curran, Mrs. Mina C. Creel, Martin M. Saxe, Mrs. Cathryn MacNeil, Mrs. William Wilson, F. H. Lafinardia, Robert Miller, Mrs. Mary Grout, J. Louis Schaefer, Tomald P. Pitcher and Walbridge Taft;

Subject, "True worshipers Pastor Bolden said that Jesus introduced the thought of the Spirit as related to the mind. And ask the spirit of your worship to God, and a perfect understanding of Him.

Somewhere I read, "Before marriage, woman is queen. After my subject."
I married. Woman is always a queen, if she wills it. As for my subject, well, she probably holds that title too. But she need give care, and sometimes even fasting.
All the world loves a fat man. All the world loves a fat woman. There man or woman who loves to be fat? Not many, though man, there. All the world loves youth and grace, but both fade with the coming of age, and it comes so easily as we grow older. So—"He who would enjoy should taw on the even." "To live is not merely to breathe, it is to act, make use of all our organs, functions and faculties."

THE SOUTH AND HARDING.
The Charlotte, N. C., Observer does not believe that Senator Harding has any chance to break the solid South. Of course the wish is father to wife thought in its instance, and the reason given is the same old question of the Negro. The Observer concludes:
This is all the more certain because the South does not now as it did when Mark Hanna better the Negro, discount the significance of the Republican candidate's words, and regard them as more dangerous than thunder. On the contrary the Negro believes that in the matter of the Negro Senator Harding and his lieutenants mean what they say, just as it is certain that they do truly intend to penalize and punish the South in every possible way in Republican victory in this election places them in position to do so.
In the face of these facts, the scattered individuals in the South who in moments of all-temper talk as if they hoped that Harding would win constitute a very poor foundation for the Republican hope—which is really nothing but a pretence—of carrying several of the Southern State this year.
This conclusion of the Observers' which it seeks to reinforce by quotations from the Charleston Votes and Courier, should open the eye, of those too sanguine Republans who go hunting for parts gains south of Macon and Dixon's line. Every effort to create a division of votes in the South on any other issue than the Negro will prove fruitless, until the Negro question is settled and settled right. The only right settlement will be one based on the full accordance of citizenship rights under the constitution. When this is done, the south will be at liberty to divide questions like the tariff and other political issues.
The South seems to feel that a Republican victory at this time will destroy the solidarity that now prevails in that section and makes its government a form of oligarchy. Governor Brough of Arkansas is quoted as being convinced that the Republicans, headed by Mr. Harding, intend to strike at "the very heart of white supremacy" and are already planning a new "Force Bill." This the way in which the pre-current rulers of the South describe any effort to restore the right of government to the people of that section on the broad basis of equal citizenship rights.
The old South is the coming of a new day, and to try its utmost to ward off the coming of constitutional government. But the effort will prove hopeless, as justice, though long dishearted, and cheated, will prevail in the end.
In the meantime those Republican counsellors who look for the break in the solid South this year, should not harden largely on that hope. Many good republicans have wrecked their hopes that chimneys. The solid South will need considerable help from the nation order to break the shackles of political remagogery and intolerance that bind it in chains. The election of Harding and Coolidge Republican Congress will be the way to break the solid South.
AN ORDERLY LYNCHING.
The Baker County Standard, which
turn to be the only paper published
that county of Florida, issued a half
printed on one side only, under
of Oct. 5, in which it gave an
point of the lynching of three Ne-
men on the outskirts of the town of
Johnny. The case which gave rise
to lawless crime was the alleged
being of a white farmer named John
by a Negro known as "Snook"
said to be an ex convict. None
of men lynched was accused of
the shooting but they had been
used as accessories, implicated in the
list we put to the Standard's ac-
cident the lynching. After describing
how the peaceful slumbers of the people of "acclomy were broken by "rumbling sounds resembling thunder," which was recognized by the knowing ones as coming from shotguns, highpower rifles and resolvers, it continued:
Sherif Sweat stated to a Standard reporter that a short time before one o'clock a body of men awakened him and demanded the keys to the jail and upon hesitating, he was overpowered and the keys taken. A crowd of men bent out lynching the Negroes was never more orderly or more determined—no drinking, no loud talking, no profane language being used, they simply unlocked the jail, located the Negroes, wanted, bound them and proceeded to the pine thicket where the shots were fired that ended the existence of three Negroes, who is said were bad characters.
The Standard emphasized in a headline that "Never was a lynching by a more, orderly and determined crowd." Not once was there a sense of realization of the criminal nature of the killing of these three men without trial, and merely on the ground that they "it is said were bad characters." It, would probably be the hardest thing in the world to convince the editor of the Standard and his readers that they were accessories to the murder of three human beings.
While the shooting of Mr. Harvey was without provocation, according to the Standard's account, there does not seem to have been any good reason why his slayer should not have been captured and tried for the crime. But to read the Standard, there does not appear to have been any idea in the minds of the citizens of Macleenny that courts and judges were provided to enforce the law. The primal instinct of the savage prevailed to them the three Negroes in jail and murder them in cold blood. The only moral lesson the Standard could draw from the tragedy was the following:
This lynching is the first for perhaps twenty years in this country, and emphasizes the fact had this Snook Givens been hung instead of given life imprisonment for the murder committed five years ago, that this blot on Baker county's name would not have occurred.
Truly, there is need for missionary effort among the white savages of Florida who pride themselves on pulling off such an "orderly lynching."
WHAT REPUBLICAN SUCCESS MEANS.
The unprecedented registration figures in New York City and other large centres of population show that the people at large are wide awake to the importance of the coming election. The fact that Negro districts turned out high figures, show that this element of voters is keenly alive to the importance of a change in the national government.
These voters feel that Republican success means the substitution of constitutional government for autocratic misgovernment. It means the submission of the question of lynching to the Congress for such preventive measures as may be found necessary. It means the enforcement of the constitutional guarantees of citizenship all over the land. It means the opening of the civil service to all classes of citizens and the doing away of segregation in the government service.
Rigidhean success, with the installation of a Republican President, in the White House, means the substitution of acts for words, the practice of real democracy in America instead of preaching a rhetorical democracy for the world, which never existed except upon paper or in the mind of its creator. It will mean the removal of the tyranny of United States marines and machine guns from a friendly power like Haitt and the recognition of the rights of weaker nations to self-determination in fact as well as in words:
Republican success should also mean the end of the era of war spending and governmental extravagance and the restoration of business methods and the lowering of taxes, and eventually the high cost of living. It will mean the ousting of the South from the paddle in national affairs and a policy of reconstitution that will embrace all sections and all classes of citizenship on an equal level.
These are a few of the changes that Republican success will mean to the country and to the Negro.
Let every voter who is alive to the last interests of the country cast his ballot for the full Republican ticket.
Don't scratch a mug.

Says the Cleveland (0) Gagette.
It makes no difference whether a Southern or Northern Democracies is elected President, it will be the south in control, in the event National Democracy carries the election. Four years more of national control by the southern Democracy would be nothing short of a calamity to southern Afro-Americans, and it would mean continued and greatly increased aggression in the north of southern propaganda against our people in this section. Therefore, it means everything to us to defeat national Democracy in this campaign.
Coming from the State of both candidates, this opinion should carry conviction to every voter.
The New Era, published at Shreveport, La., contains this significant notice addressed to the colored teachers of Caddo Parish.
The colored teachers will apply to the superintendent for assignment to school Oct. 18th to 16th. The Rural schools will be opened when the crops are gathered and the children can attend. Evidently the crops come first and the schooling second in order of importance in the Louisiana educational program. Let us hope that the measure of schooling may make up for the deferred opening of the schools.
THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1936
For some weeks, the Rexall Stores have been conducting a nationwide straw vote. Within the last week, more than two hundred thousand were recorded. All together there have been nearly a million votes cast. A straw vote is not conclusive evidence of the way in which an election will go and it depends upon the manner in which a straw vote is conducted as to whether it has any value at all. The value of such a vote increases in direct proportion with the ground it covers. It must cover not only a wide territory but a wide range of classes of people. This seems to be the merit of the Rexall straw vote, which has been taken in every State in the United States and the sum of the votes is large enough to furnish indications that they are of some value.
In this poll at the end of this week a total number of votes cast for Harding was 495,961 and for Cox, 325,004. Even in some of the states of the solid South, Harding makes a good showing. In Arkansas the vote for Harding was 4,572, for Cox 7,382; Florida, vote for Harding, 2,284, for Cox, 3,906; in Virginia, vote for Harding 3,972, for Cox 5,613. It is, however, in the recognized doubtful states that the figures are of greatest importance. In Illinois the vote cast for Harding was 21,691, for Cox 9,269; in Indiana, for Harding 21,175, for Cox 1,423; New Jersey, for Harding 9,791, for Cox 3,778; New York, for Harding 55,605, for Cox 29,773; Ohio, for Harding 27,811, for Cox 14,228. Of course, as we said, the straw vote is not conclusive evidence of the way in which the election will go, nevertheless, this straw vote conducted by the Rexall stores, is so comprehensive that it may well be taken as an indication of which way the wind is blowing.
SECRETARY DANIELS AND THE HAITIAN SCANDAL
When this writer in his articles in "The Nation" charged that more than three thousand Haitians had been slaughtered by American Marines since the occupation of the black republic by the United States, and the charge was repeated by Senator Harding in one of his speeches, Secretary Daniels branded the statement as false and absurd. He moreover declared that Senator Harding was guilty of casting a libelous slur on our brave boys at the front—the "Haitian front."
However, the charge could not be absolutely ignored; so an investigation was ordered. General Lejeune was instructed to report on conditions in Haiti for the period since he has been commandant of the Marine Corps. General Lejeune made his report within a few days, and it was a complete whitewash. He not only reported that the acts and actions of the marines in Haiti were above reproach, but that they were benevolent. He reported that wherever he went while making his investigation the Haitian people turned out en masse to express their gratitude for the presence of the marines and for the many kindnesses they had received at their hands.
The report made by General Lajenne covered only the period since he has been commandant of the corps; that is, from June 30 of this year, and was therefore of next to no value; nevertheless, Secretary Daniel glowed and beamed over it. But his glowing and beaming was of short duration, for like a bomb came the report of General Barnett, former commandant of Marines, covering the entire five years and more of the American Occupation.
General Barnett not only substantiated the charges made by this writer in "The Nation," but even went further. He estimated the number of Haitians killed by marines to be not less than three thousand two hundred and fifty, and stated that he could not estimate the number that had been wounded. General Barnett declared in his report that he was "shocked beyond expression" at the cruelties an indiscriminate killings.
It is a mystery yet to be explained, how General Barnett's report came to be given out. Secretary Daniel was absent from Washington at the time making speeches for Cox. When he returned and found out what had been done, he was furious. He immediately characterized the report of General Barnett as "slander" and "an outrage". This he did regardless of the fact that General Barnett was down to June 30 of the present year; Commandant of Marines Secretary Daniels is not only a very naive and impulsive sort of individual, but is also chock-full of old fashion Southern rhetorical humor; so in addition to denouncing General Barnett's report before reading it, he got off the following: "An attack on the marines is an attack on American civilization, for the marines represent American civilization." Of all the high-sounding, empty phrases emanating from the Wilson administration, this one takes the cake. Then somebody in the Navy Department, foreseeing the danger of the secretary making an ass of himself, must have handed him a copy of the report to read, for on the day following he ordered a court of inquiry.
The Court of Inquiry will be composed of officers of high rank and prominence in the navy. The President of the court will be Admiral Mayo, former commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. The other two members will be Admiral Oliver and Major General W. C. Neville, of the Marine Corps. The Court of Inquiry, so despatches from Washington State, will be the most important that has met in Washington since the famous Sampson-Schley court, which considered the case which grew out of the controversy over the success of the American navy in the Battle of Snaiago.
Mr. Daniels promises that the Haitian matter will be thoroughly sifted and those licensed in the Barnett report will be brought before courts-martial. We would hesitate to be too confident about this, for a Washington despatch of the 10th says: "To-night Secretary Daniels conferred with Major General Barnett, who returned today from Chicago in response to the summary direction of the naval secretary to inform General Barnett of the general impression his statement of 'indiscriminate killing' had made and see if Barnett desired to modify this characterization of the actions of the marines in Haiti."
However, this Court of Inquiry will not be the final step in the Haitian situation. There is a Congressional investigation ahead. The truth about Haiti is bound to come out. Not is the question of "indiscriminate killings" by those responsible to the Navy Department the whole of the truth. There are yet to come out the facts regarding the forces which sent the marines into Haiti and which have kept them there these five years and more. These are the forces that must be brought to light because they underlie the whole situation.
In other words, there must be an investigation not only of what has been done in the Navy Department, but also the State Department. Whether American marines in Haiti are guilty of "indiscriminate killings" or not; the main point of the matter is, they have no business there and ought to get out.
GENERAL BARNETT MODIFIES.
As might have been expected, following the summons of General Barnett to Washington, by Secretary Daniels for the purpose of seeing if he desired to modify his statement about the "indiscriminate killing" of Haitian by American Marines, the General has issued a modifying statement.
The General does not say that he did not use the words "indiscriminate killing"; he merely attempts to show that he did not use these words in their most obvious sense. He states that he would like to make it clear that he did not mean "promiscuous" killing, but killing "without due process of law." The General makes the following apology:
"I am a soldier and not an author. I feel certain that the Brigade Commander to whom the letter was written thoroughly understands my meaning." Of course it does not taken an author to understand what "indiscriminate killing" means; any fairly well-informed soldier ought to know. But the meaning which General Barnett meant to convey by the word "indiscriminate" has nothing to do with the merits of the case. Whether he meant that marines' shot, down Haitians promiscuously whenever they had a chance or whether he means that some Haitians were killed without due process of law, will be determined by the contents of his report and not by his definition of the same in which he used the word "indiscriminate". His report will show, or ought to show, just what the marines were guilty of.
If Secretary Daniels and the Navy Department are anxious to have the American people understand just what General Barnett meant when he said "indiscriminate killing", let them publish General Barnett's report in full and the American people can easily determine what is meant.
THE ONLY SOUTHERN ISSUE. Every white newspaper published in the South brings fresh proof that there is only one political issue that has a universal appeal to the whites of that section. The latest publication to emphasize this fact in capital letters is the Carroll County News, published at Carroll, Georgia. In an editorial appeal for subscriptions to be sent to the National Democratic Committee, the writer, describes himself as "merely a Democrat, converted from reactionary Republicanism some years ago," sought to obtain employment as conductors or station agents or motormen. The something might apply to the gas and electric light companies. With the telephone company the situation is a little different, as its officials have had the question put so squarely, that they have been basly engaged in sidestepping ever since.
Let the New York Urban League put its force of sociological experts at work on this subject and reveal the invisible barrier to public service in New York. We understand that it does not
If we are AMERICAN CITIZENS worthy the name, if we believe in the maintenance of White Citizenship, White Government and WHITE SUPREMACY, we will arouse ourselves from apathy and indifference and will rally to the support of the Democratic Cause, which so much needs our financial assistance.
If the Republicans win this election do you know what it will mean? It will mean NEGRO FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDERS throughout the South!
It will mean another attempt to pass a Force Bill through Congress!
White Citizens of the South, regardless of partisan feeling or differences over comparatively minor issues, beset ourselves! THE ISSUE OF WHITE SUPREMACY OVERSHADOWS, EVERYTHING ELSE—League of Nations and all included!
As to the possibility of breaking the solid South, this convert from reactionary Republicanism says:
We have no fear of the Republicans "breaking the solid South." They destroyed every possible chance of that when they named a NEJRO as Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, and have retained him in this position over strong protests. They traded the degradation of the South for a horde of black voters in the North. They wouldn't dare AS YET to THREATEN WHITE MEN AND WHITE WOMEN WITH NEJRO DOMINATION in any Northern state. Not-of-course not. But they think they can insult the WHITE SOUTH with political impunity.
Could political fanaticism go further than that? What the South needs is the retraining influence of some other common sense on the race question and the spooling of such fanatics as the hysterical editor quoted above. Less histories and more common sense would help the white South to regain its sense of proportion on things political. It would also pin the demagogue out of business.
PUBLIC SERVICE BARRIERS.
One of the curious features of every day life in a great city like New York is the apparent barrier to public service that is raised on account of race or color. If the intelligent foreigner, in pursuit of information, should ask why black men are seen in the subways and on the elevated roads only as porters, with one as a motorman or guard, we should of course could tell the exact reason for this exclusion. The same thing would be true of the surface trotters and other means of public transportation. And yet horse and motor trucks, as well as passenger cars, are constantly seen on the streets operated by colored chauffeurs.
On the steamship piers, stewardess and longshoremen of all colors can be seen working in groups. Nypo laborers are found among those working under the customs weighers. Colored letter carriers, collectors and deliver the mail throughout the residence and business districts, and a police officer of the race in uniform is not an infrequent vision. But a colored conductor on a street car or a station agent or motorman is never seen. The colored porters, mostly aliens from the West Indies, frequently officiate as ticket choppers, but without being accorded either the rank or pay of that grade.
Why then the invisible barrier that keeps the man who is not white from ringing the wash register on the surface or operating the sliding doors below ground or in the air? It cannot be any mere feeling of color prejudice on the part of the transportation heads. Many of the rapid transit directors are reputed as good friends of the Negro and liberal givers towards charities and schools for the race. Of course such benefactives would not be inconsistent from a white man's standpoint with barring the Negro from a chance to earn an honest living, but in this case that is not likely. It may be that, fear of labor complications enters into the situation, but if the recent declarations of union labor on the color, line mean anything, that should not prove a permanent obstacle.
Has there ever been a concerned effort by any considerable number of applicants to secure position, under the transportation or public utilities corporation? We might even ask H individuals have
sought to obtain employment as conductors or station agents or motormen. The something might apply to the gas and electric light companies. With the telephone company the situation is a little different, as its officials have had the question put so squarely, that they have been basically engaged in sidestepping ever since.
Let the New York Urban League put its force of sociological experts at work on this subject and reveal the invisible barrier to public service in New York: We understand that it does not exist in so big a western city as Detroit.
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE.
Among the many new ideas that have been grafted on to the public school system, the scheme of vocational guidance for those pupils, who are forced by necessity to make an early start at earning a livelihood, seems to recommend itself as one of the most practical. The object of this guidance is to study the mental capacity and adaptability of the pupil and direct his efforts into channels that will qualify him for a grateful occupation for which he is best fitted. In other words, it is an effort to keep the square peg out of a round hole.
To get the best results out of such a system as this requires the cooperation of at least two parties, the parent and the teacher. The third party, the pupil, will cooperate of his own accord, if the system is carried out along the right lines, as it should be leasing him along the road of his natural inclination. In carrying out such a system, it may be necessary for the parent to sacrifice a long cherished ideal of fitting his child for some profession or business for which the student is not adapted. In such cases it is well to confer with the teacher and get his or her opinion as to the best course to be pursued
As the value of this new phase of educational effort is becoming more generally recognized, there is a growing need for its extension in the schools. A fruitful field for this work exists in public school. Nov. 89 and 5, where a vocational guidance bureau would be a real help to both parents and children. Mrs. Elise McDougall has been carrying on this kind of work at Public School No. 119 with good results, which have demonstrated the need of larger facilities.
Parents should also realize the advantages to be gained for their children through the means of vocational schools, which equip their students for a useful occupation. A veteran school teacher used to maintain that the chief end of an education was to register its processor able to earn his livelihood. He might have added that it also conduced to the making of good citizens and gave the key of entrance to the worlds of literature and art. But to resort to the more practical side of it, vocational guidance and vocational schools are material aids that should not be neglected. The district superintendent of school district No. 15 would do well to extend the benefits of the vocational guidance bureau to the schools mentioned in his district.
According to the Mission Herald of Philadelphia, plans are on foot to celebrate the one hundred anniversary of the sailing of the Rev. Lest Carey for Liberia January 25, 1921. Carey was a Baptist missionary who later became the first governor of Liberia. The celebration has been sanctioned by the executive committee of the National Baptist Convention and will be observed in all the Baptist Churches under its jurisdiction.
The Philadelphia Tribune notes the fact that the colored business men and women of that city have buckled down to an aggressive campaign to acquire and control a larger share of the business patronage of their own people. As a basic for this educator, it is shown that race own more than ten million, dollars worth of property, including churches, business houses, hotels, clubs etc., in the central section of the city. A mighty good showing to build on.
The Atlanta Independent, a Negro Journal, has found something good to say about ex-Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia, whom it salutes as Governor, on account of his victory in the Democratic primaries. Although it admits that Mr. Hardwick is the father of disfranchisement in Georgia, it says that every citizen of the State, without regard to race or color, is invited to him for smashing the Howell machine. It adds:
That the Howell machine, through its organ, the Constitution, is doing the state more harm than any other one agency, goes without saying. In fact, the paper really has no meaning—it inflicts
AND THE NEGRO
Extracts from the acceptance speech of the Republican nominee for President, Senator Warren G. Starring, delivered at Marton, 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 citizen ship."
"I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the employment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have enlisted them to all of freedom and opportunity; all of sympathy and aid that the american spirit of harrass 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, which our every committal is to orderly government. People ever will differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law—there is divided opinion respecting the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative—but there can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement.
"Neither government nor party can afford to enact the American people. The laws of congress must harmonize with the constitution else they soon are adjudged to be void; congress enact the laws, and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot ioparasis 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."
character of the editor whose leadership was long ago repudiated when he aspired for Governor. He has managed to be National Committeeman of the republican and democratic party by reason of accident in the demurrage, party and ignorance and stupidity in the republican party.
Now, if Editor-Clark Howell could come back long enough to amash the Hardwick and Watson combating, there might be some hope for better politics in Georgia.
One of the great Chicago dailies reported to have recently adopted the policy of eliminating "the badge of color" in printing stories of crime. The Cleveland dailies are said to have pursued this course for some time with beneficial results. As the Washington and Chicago race riots were largely provoked by the popular sentiment aroused by newspaper headlines signifying alleged black criminals, what were in many cases unwarranted by the facts, this new departure should at least avoid that danger.
A letter from Dayton, Ohio, to the Denver Statesman describes the situation of the aged mester of Paul Lawrence Dunbar as almost permanently and neglected. Unless it is from some outside source, it is, that the Dunbar home may be a public auction. The various clubs throughout the country are appealed to to help preserve the building a permanent monument to the lady. A worthy object to engage their interests.
The Red Bank Echo, after urging all New Jersey voters to register for the coming election, said:
Some of our preachers and leaders advising us to vote for the Democratic party. They are pledging all things to get the Neuro vote but will never get the black race or trust them.
This must be disheartening to the R. Sylvester L. Corrothers and his full of followers, who pleaded their part to Governor Cos.
Henry Allen Boyd, who wrote Tokyo, Japan, as a delegate to World's Sunday School convention, cabled to the Nashville office concerning the accidental burning of the station hall. The Nashville delegate all safe and no live, were supposed to be lost in the fire, which was caused by defective wiring. This gathering at Sunday School workers from the world in Japan was a rare case example of East and West together.
VOTE AS REASON DICTATES.
To the Editor of Tue. Apr.
You ask for an expression as why the Negro should vote a Republican ticket in 1920.
At first place, it would seem the view of all of the wars in which he claimed that he has participated would he cowardice in him do.
Invited by the powers that be, they who are untertried should be the vote as reason distrates.
Rock-ribbed Democracy swirling whimily that "The most clear birth right of the South is white premacy." So be it. Let them their birthright and maintain the Southern and purity and secretness of the Southern home." No one envies them in light of their past history, Lotus and profane.
"The Republican party does not but is duty-bound to regulate; does abrogate but intensifies to the right and duty of every man to protect and maintain not only the necessity and purity of his home, but the integrity of his faith in his fellow man and his assurance of all the blessings of honest government in thugs and come. It courageously points the to all men of every creed and blood to the proper pursuit of true piety.
No other party is quite so committed and foot-sum and positively have courage to utilise the English language to permeate and install the principles of the English language, the lice of men who have demonstrated their ability to citizens.
In The Realm of Music
By Lucien H. White
"Jazz" Players as Artists; F. B. S. Circle Recital
in the issue of The Age of September 18 comment was made in this column concerning ragtime musicians and artistic musicians, the comment being caused by a letter, also printed in this column the same week, which took issue with some statements made by Mr. Koland W. Hayes in a letter written to me from London, England. The writer's identity was not made public at the time, but now there comes another letter, "touchin' upon and appertainin'" to the same subject, from Mr. Charles J. Harris of Augusta, Ga., but teaching in the music department at the Mechanical and Industrial College at Holly Springs, Miss., releasing me from the obligation to keep his identity a secret.
Mr. Harris is a personal friend of Mr. Hayes and has accompanied him at least in one recital,—when Hayes appeared in a music festival at Atlanta, Ga., under direction of Kemper Harreld. He has had considerable musical experience and is well qualified to express an opinion concerning musical matters. In this last letter, Mr. Harris writes as follows:
"My dear White:
After pondering over my letter and your criticism of it in the issue of The Age of September 18th, I decided to write you again. I am not writing you again because of chagrin at your criticism of my statements; because no one is above criticism. Anyone who dislikes criticism is not sound in heart and mind.
Now, then, I agree with you that the majority of performers going before European audiences are vaudeville stars, but that does not take from the artists. I mentioned the inilicious credit due them. Pre-eminently among the ones mentioned were Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Joseph White. These men undoubtedly had wide experience in their line ranking with the best of their day.
It is very rare to find a singer of as sound musicianship as the instrumentalists in any race. Many a violinist or musician who sits before the footlights accompanying a noted singer excels the singer by far in musical accomplishments. I know of one singer in the race who is sound in musicianship—Mr. Harry T. Burleigh. There are those that I do not think of just here.
I know full well that singing is more appreciated, when well done, by the majority of folk. The fact is obvious because singing is more easily understood. Because of this, the singers more easily make their interpretation clear and intelligible.
Not so with the instrumentalist; his is a task. I have heard many instrumentalists play like machines on progams with other performers who surpassed them in musical expression; the ones exhibiting the greatest finger dexterity getting more applause than the real artists who are heart and mind in their work.
one who does things superbly whether in classic music, is an artist, I claim. I have heard mouth organ players who were artists. Recently the Clef Club members spoken of as artists; I am music for the most part.
of the singing of Mr. Wilson Lamb's choir (of N.J.) at the Roosevelt Memorial Institutional Temple, on October 6th, inadvertently I failed to speak of the accompanists, Miss Ernestine Brown, the who accompanied the singing of the cantata, Death Triumphant," and Mrs. Cora W. Alexander, the soloists. It is regretted by me that this omission and I am hastening to remedy it, as far as possible, or some of my other good Jersey friends take me Miss Brown and Mrs. Alexander are valuable Mr. Lamb and his capable singers, and much of the singing the work of the evening was due to their skilful singers. I hope these charming and accomplished accept this as my amende honorable and believe it to entirely unintentional.
"My dear White:
After pondering over my in the issue of The Age of Y write you again. I am not chagrin at your criticism of me is above criticism. Anyone sound in heart and mind.
Now then, I agree with former goers before Europe stars, but that does not take the indulge due them. Previous I were Samuel C. White. These men undoubt their line ranking with the best. It is very rare to find a show the instrumentalists in the musician who sits among a noted singer excels accomplishments. I know of one in musicianship—Mr. arethers that I do not think I know full well that when well done, by the major works because singing is more difficult, the singers more easy and intelligible.
Not so with the instrument board many instrumentalists, games with other performers, musical expression; the ones especially getting more applauded with heart and mind in the any one who does thing to time music, is an art mouth organ players. I lead the Olef Club member play jazz music for anyone I give Mr. Hayes I will hold high the pre-European soil."

It is and I am hastening to imb or some of my own Miss Brown and Mr. Lamb and his troubled the work of the singers. I hope to accept this as my amateur entirely unintentional.

have attained. In his solo number Mr. Fein exhibited facility of technique, flexibility in bowing and a certainty of fingering that combined in a warm, rich tone, full of color, velvety in softness yet strong and steel-like in the forte passages. Mr. Weir is one of the "artistic musicians" whose work necessitates the playing of "rastime" or "jaz," as it is more popularly termed nowadays. Doing this sort of playing constantly inevitably follows that some difference must show in his playing of the serious classics. And so it is not surprising that there was evident a tendency to break the continuity of certain passages, the result being a rather ragged, phrasing at times. Mr. Weir was not billed as a co-star with Miss Anderson, but it would have been more in keeping with the facts had that been done. According to the advance announcements of the recital, the attraction secondary only to Miss Anderson, was Edward Steljo, tenor. Other than a fair Italian pronunciation in "Donna Mobile" from Verdi's Rigotto, Mr. Steljo's singing offered nothing of artistic value. His voice is thin in tone, naked in quality and lacking in expression. Charity bids me my no more "save that one of the stars(?) of the evening in our exhibition to the audience."

Miss MARION ANDERSON.
of the F. B. S. Circle and their guests as to why he saw fit to appear on the stage of so pretentious an affair in an afternoon costume of walking coat; gray trousers and a stringed waistcoat.
Little Gertrude Martin, a youthful violinist; sister to that other young violin prodigy, Eugene Mars Martin, gave two numbers, D'Ambrosia's "Aubade," and (a) "Village Dance," (Cecil Burleigh); (b) "Southland Sketches, No. 4," H. T. Burleigh, Miss Andrades Lindsay was at the piano. Miss Martin's performance possessed considerable merit. She is, I imagine, not more than ten or eleven years old, but she has poise, self-persession and self control. She has already acquired technical equipment and, gives evidence of a promising future. Miss Lindsay's accompaniments were very well done and entirely in keeping with that young lady's artistic ability.
Mme. Lulu Robinson Jones, soprano, sang an Italian number—"Mhon credela mivirta alhon gumge" (Bellini). Mme. Jones has a delightful personality and a charming stage presence, but she was evidently suffering from a cold or throat affection of some kind. Her voice was stiff and unmanageable at times, with a lack of flexibility decidedly in evidence in the eademas and bravura passages. As a matter of fact, I think she was unfortunate in the selection of her number. She is not entirely as home with her Italian and this in itself entails a straina. She has a voice that gives pleasure when heard in songs suited to its quality. Mrs Daisy Tapley played the accompaniment most capably.
George H. Jones, Jr. baritone, sain "because" by D. Hardelot, and "Graye Days," by Noel Johnson. Whatever pleasure is afforded by Mr. Jones' singing, even though he appears to enjoy a certain vogue among the people, is considerably diminished by a practice he engages in, of ending his songs with a note in alltimere, necessitating a falsetto tone decided unartistic in effect. His voice, in its natural register, has some pleasing qualities, though showing a lack of cultivation. Mrs. Tapley was his accompanist, also.
The Dixie Quartet, composed of Charles Waters, first tenor, H. Williams, second tenor, G. W. Tayler, first bass, and D. S. Mason, second bass, sang two numbers. The first was (a) "Pickanam Rose," (Shepherd), "Swing Low, Sweet Charity," and the second group included, "The Rivory (Neun)," "Tis Me," and "Shout all over God's Heaven." They sang together with precision and obtained good harmonic effects. Unfortunately, Mr. Waters was suffering from a severe cold, with a con sequent hoarseness that hampered the work of the quartet to no little degree. The audience enjoyed their work, however, and gave them an enthusiastic reception.
A group of young girls, programmed as "The Woodland Spirits," led by Grae Giles as "The Butterfly," presented a pretty dance, with Miss Ama Reeves of Newark, N. J., at the piano. The girls in the group were Edna Young, Wilhemena Reeves, Leah Seah Reeves, Andriema King, Annie Jones, Mildred Bachus, Bernice Wilson, Andrea Potter, Harold Simmelljaer and Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight gave readings, dramatic and humorous.
The Clof Club Orchestra, under direction of William Wiggins, violinist, in addition to playing two programmed numbers, furnished music for the evening's daring, which followed at close of the recital program. Their playing was a feature of the evening's enjoyment.
The F. B. S. Circle announced this as its first affair with the intention to make it an annual feature of the New York season. The Circle's officers are Benji P. Thomas, president; Rodney Dade, vice-president; W. Clinton Holloway, corresponding secretary; Oscar B. Jackson, treasurer; James Meyer, assistant treasurer. The recital committee was composed of Mr. Holloway as chairman, with Mr. Dale, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Myer, Mrs. James Vass, and Mr. Thomas, ex-officio. Mr. Holloway arranged the program and acted during the evening as master of ceremonies. His announcements were felicitous.
The floor managers were George Buckner, Thomas Rutledge and Henry Carney and the ushers were Lieut. Stanley Miles, Frederick Johns, John J. Quanley, E. R. Reed, James Meyer, James Vass, Charles Willis, S. G. Snowden, R. G. Story, Thomas Rutledge and Joseph Boyd, Harry M. Winslow and Mr. Dade were in the box office and Oscar R. Jackson and Clarence Francis were on the door. Members of the F. B. S. Circle are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Holloway, Mr. and Mrs. Dade, Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Vass, Mr. and Mrs. Myer, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Bowser, Sealbright, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Benj. J. Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Boyd, Mrs. Thomas L.

BISHOP CLINTON SAYS
WIFE IS REGISTERED
In The Age of October 16, was printed a story from Raleigh, N. C., concerning the letter alleged to have been written by Dr. J. B. Dudley of the A. T. School at Greensboro; in which he advised colored womens to stay away from the registration booths and the ballot boxes in North Carolina in the Presidential election. In the article the statement was made that report was circulated that Mrs. Clinton wife of Bishop George W. Clinton of Charlote, had been "deliberately refused registration in her home town."
Bishop George W. Clinton, writing from Newark, N. J., where he was on his episcopal mission, gives the following as the true facts in the case, showing that while Mrs. Clinton was not registered on her first appearance he deferred the registrars, she did qualify for the exercise of her right to the suffrage on the following day. Bishop Clinton writes as follows:
"It was my privilege to see a copy of The New York Age, this afternoon and I observed on the front page a statement that my wife, Mrs. M. L. Clinton, had been denied the privilege to register when she applied at our home in Charlotte. I feel it my duty to have you correct that statement or modify it by furnishing you the facts."
"Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Watkins, wife of the manager of the A. M. E. Zion Publishing House, applied for registration on or about the third day after the books were opened for women to register. When they applied, going in where some white women were being registered, they were told that they would have to return the next day because the registrar did not have the "form" or blank required to be used when colored women registered. To this statement Mrs. Clinton replied, "Why do we have a form different from that used by the lady who has just registered?"
"The registrar, or his assistant, stated that, 'I shall have to see Mr. Smith before you can register.' A. M. Stowe, colored, whose wife had told the same thing when she applied, went to see Mr. Smith and was told that he had no form' or blank for, colored women to use in order to register, and said that they have as much right to register if they qualify as other women.
"Mrs. Clinton returned to the place of registration the next day and found a new, man in charge who registered her without any question whatever. Before this event, the Charlize Observer, commenting on a letter purporting to have been circulated from Greenwich by colored women, stated that colored women would be registered if they were qualified.

GEORGE W. CLINTON.
WOMEN SHOULD IGNORE DR. DUDLEY'S ADVICE To the Editor of Tux Acq:
Knowing as I do, the policy of Tux New York Acq. and the fearless attitude the paper usually takes, in defense of rights and safeguards of the race, I am much encouraged to write this letter, indoors Tux Acq's editorial reference in last week's issue to the cowardly statement attributed to Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the A. & T. College, Greensboro, North Carolina, in which he is quoted as having advised colored women to stay away from the polls in the approaching election.
Of course, respect for the rights and opinions of others as well as an appreciation of the proper sense of affirmation, forbids the use-in print of words befitting cowardly statements when you are almost sure the truth was statement as the one alleged to have been made by Dr. Dudley is directed by some compelling power such as controls the A. & T. College.
As the Democratic party in all the Southern States is absolutely opposed to equal rights and privileges for the colored race, and also forbids equal educational advantages, does it not appear that Dr. Dudley favors this policy when he attempts to discourage the use of the ballot, the only effective means of changing it?
We shall get nowhere in our effort to get somewhere, if, when the opportunity is presented, we fail to grasp it, and the attitude of the president of the A. & T. College is but another proof of what I have said, that whatever anything is said or done which might be of benefit to the race, some weak hired Negro usually by word or act spins it before it can be given a fair trial. If Dr. Dudley desires to be consistent he would give the women a chance with the ballot and then see whether or not use of a would bring "political equality" or a "reproduction of the condition of 1898," a statement made by the editor of the Greenwood Negro in the same issue which carried his statement. Just a few days before Tennessee ratified the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment, the writer was in Charlotte, North Carolina, on a visit. Members of the North Carolina legislature, friendly to suffrage, tried to put through ratification but were prevented by their opponents who, of course, were in the majority. United States Senator Simmons, of the Old North State, in a speech urging ratification, as published in the Charlotte Observer, said that under his state's voting qualification, which I believe is educational, the people had no need to fear Negro political equality as Negro women could be as easily harried from the polls as Negro men. But said the Senator "in case of a contest

It would be mighty comfortable to have a Democratic Congress in Washington. "We may suppose then that federal democrats and his Democratic allies in North Carolina can also find comfort in adoption colored by Dr. Dudley. There is no way under hearse that colored men and women can change the ratten laws in the Southern States that operate so unjustly against them except by the ballot, and instead of attempting to discourage its use, individuals who admire the right should urge colored men and women to vote wherever they are legally retitled to do so.
JOHN E. ROBINSON.
President of Saint Mark's Lyceum.
A DEMOCRATIC PEAPOWL
To the Failure of the Act:
I see by your paper that the Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers and his followers in New Jersey have pledged their support to Gov. Cox, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Of course Rev. Corrothers and his followers have a right to their own convictions, but really I fail to see how any Negroes can afford to give the Cox ticket even the slightest consideration.
Did one ever notice a pea-fowl hold up his head and look back at his large pratty tail? Yes? O how nicely he struts along! But as soon as he looks down and sees those big rusty feet, his tail fails. So it should be with Rew. Corrothers and his followers who have sworn allegiance to the Cox-Wilson ticket. As soon as they think of how this administration, has aggregated and discriminated against their race they should drop their tails and strive to be first in line to vote for Harding and Coolidge. I am almost persuaded to say, shame on any Negro who would leave his race at such a time as this. Colored men are not dead carnest as stand by the Republicans that time is now! Go to the polls one of you and vote! Vote for Harding and Coolidge.
Union Baptist Church.
We had a glorious day in Union Baptist Church and services were well attended. At 11 a.m., m.Sister Queen E.Taylor Miller of Stamtor, Va., who has charge of an orphanage home there, delivered a very helpful address. An after offering of $28 was given her for the benefit of her work.
At 2 p.m. Sunday School was well attended under Supt. W. H. Johnson. They held a very interesting session as usual.
At 5 p.m. the B. Y. P. U., under the direction of O. W. H. Lloyd, was well attended.
At 7.30 p.m. the Ancient Daughters of Sphinx of Arabia was out with 8 other circles. The church was crowded out long before 8 o'clock. This organization made a profound impression for themselves. They had a very interesting program preceding the sermon. The offering amounted to $503.
St. Mark's M. E. Church.
On Sunday, Oct. 17th, large congregations attended the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church. Dr. J. R. Wragg was the speaker at the morning service and delivered an eloquent sermon. Dr. Wragg is president of the Bible Society among colored people in the United States. The text of the sermon was, Joshua, 1st chapter and 5th verse. Theme:—A great call and a great promise. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks was the occupant of the pulpit at the evening service and preached a thrilling and forceful sermon. Text:—Acts, 10th chapter and 54th verse Theme:—Opening of the church to all nations. This being the month of the annual fall rally great interest is being displayed by the leaders of the various clubs in their endeavors to make the rally a gigantic success. The Sunday School was very largely attended and the collection good. Winfred Monroe has been added to the staff of teachers and assigned to a class of boys. The musical and literary exercises of the Epsworth League were largely attended. Mrs. Marie Dent was in charge. There was an unusually large

REPRESENTATIVE WANTS
(Special to The New York Ace)
Linda Rock, Ark.—The Arkansas official state ticket in the November election will carry the name of J. H. Bloom, Negro, as an independent candidate for governor. Other than his name, only the Republican and Democrat parties are represented on the ticket.
The time for filing names of nominees expired on October 12, and full electoral tickets are named by both parties. Nine electors are to be voted for, one from each of seven congressional districts and two from the state at large. Republicans have been named in opposition to Democrats for United States Senator, associate justice of the Supreme Court, secretary of state, attorney general and commissioner of state land, highways and improvements.
One proposed constitutional amendment extends the power of holding state office to women.
attendance at the meeting of the Brotherhood Bible Class and a vigorous discussion of the day's lesson was conducted by Teacher Luther B. Jones. The time of the meeting of the class has been changed to 1 o'clock.
Next Friday evening the prayer and praise service will be in charge of the Young People's Class, Mrs. Priscilla Greene, leader.
During the day two persons joined the church.
Next Sunday, Oct. 24th, Dr. Wallace Mc Mullen district superintendent, will preach at the morning service. In the evening, the speaker will be Dr. John Wesley Church Baltimore, Md.
Nazarene Church, Brooklyn
The Nazarene congregation are displaying an interest in the many activities of the church which encourages the be lief. that even greater things will be accomplished this winter than in Dr. Proctor's first six months as pastor. A large audience heard Dr. Proctor's Sunday morning sermon on "Soul Culture." At the evening service Dr. S. Parks Cadman, pastor of Central Congregational Church, delivered an address to the young people, urging them to make the best of every opportunity for the acquirement of a good education and above all to take a great interest in the work of the Church. Dr. Cadman paid a glowing tribute to Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, and to Dávid Livingston, the great English explorer, whom he said had been the greatest benefactors of the Negro race. He evinced a great interest in the Nazarene Boy Scouts, who were in attendance about fifty strong and sang "America" as only Boy Scouts can sing the patriotic song, in honor of Dr. Cadman's recent return from London. Dr. Cadman took the initiative in a voluntary offering from which a hand. some American flag will be purchased from Dr. Cadman's recent return from London.

Mrs. Warmer James also spoke on the work for women and girls, in the missionary field, asking that greater interest be shown in this great field for doing good.
An excellent musical program was furnished by the choir.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
"Canary Cottage" Captivates Harlem; Brooks Has Strong Support
By LESTER A. WALTON.
Out West "Canary Cottage" enjoyed a long run in the $2.00 house. Now it has come to New York somewhat "Negroized" and "Jazzized" and making a determined bid for popularity. Monday evening the show went over big at the Lafayette Theatre, and there were good and sufficient reasons. Shelton Brooks, song writer and vaudevillian, is well known in the big city, but we are not well acquainted with Ollie Powers. Miss Marguerite Lee. Miss Edith Purnell and other members of the company who have made a most agreeable impression on Harlem theatregoers.
Both Ollie Powers and Miss Lee established themselves as big favorites overnight. The former is the sweetest tenor singer that has struck Harlem in years, and Miss Lee possesses more dramatic possibilities than any performer who has flashed across the local theatrical horizon in a long time. Somewhat plump, 'tis true, but she carries her avoirdupois gracefully and with a certain impressive dignity. Miss Lee is capable of doing emotional work in the drama, and there is a position awaiting her with the Isafayette Players whenever she decides to forsake musical comedy for the legitimate.
The stage has profiled by Ollie Powers' desertion of the cabaret for the footlights. All Harlem should hear this tenor who, to use the language of the performer, knows how to sell his stuff. His voice has volume and he puts a touch of tenderness in it that is appealing. But he not only shines as a ballad singer, rendering a comedy selection with equal effectiveness.
Miss Edith Purnell, she of what is referred to by members of The Association as the "tantalizing brown" type is attractive and favorably impresses in her part as Pauline Hugg. In the ingenuue role Miss Maude Russell pleases as Betty Fair.
Shelton Brinkls is admirably fitted for the role of Jerry Summerfield, and on his shoulders falls most of the comedy work. Although working under cork, there is nothing boisterous about his method of creating merriment. He is just as original as a comedian as he is a composer of songs.
One of the bright and captivating features of the show is the pianoling in the second act, in which Messy, Brooks and Powers figure. The writer of "Walk-in the Dog," "Some of These Days" and other hits, officiates at the grand piano and is reinforced in the singing department by Ollie Powers. They do a capital vaudeville turn, registering more after encore.
Mme Rosa Lee Taylor, who is not new to patrons of the Lafayette Theatre; Italian Kettin, Miss Jessima McKinney, Miss Mattie Cash and E. C. Caldwell are other members of the cast whose efforts are worthy of special mention.
Back to Miss Lee: She also can sing, winning applause in her rendition of "Here's Your Opportunity" and "Some Day Will Never Come." The last number was written by De Koven Thompson and "Nick" Jefferson.
The costume, worn in "Canary Cottage" are not varied, but like the chorus girls and scenery are pleasing to the eye.
"Canary Cottage" is sure to do two big weeks at the Lafayette.
"CANARY COTTAGE"

THE LINCOLN THEATRE
One of the sensational scenes in "The Untamed," Tom Mix's latest Fox picture, is a jump Mix makes through a closed window at the sheriff's office in making his way from a truant crowd to a plunges through the window—breaking through the window—and carrying the cash with him—down ten feet to the rain-soaked ground.
Mix did the jump—was seen Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre, where the Untained opened for a run—centrally unprotected except for gloves and ordinary clothing. He earned with him every page of glass, and the window was of old-fashioned knit with small panels, making the effort to break and the danger of splintering all the greater. The chattered glass fell with Mix as he went out, to the astonishment of his director, and in fact 60 everyone present on those cowboys who knew Mix best—he landed without a scratch. It is a mystery how Mix does three tricks that look so very dangerous. Any man might make such a jump without ask if sufficiently protected. But this Mix does for the sake of the story. He holds it would be inartic

The New York golfers of America, the newly formed body of foes of the South game among our race desires to tour through The Ace as urgent call for additional members, in their hope to develop a strong enough team to challenge the Chicago golfers next season.

TENNIS
It has been brought to our attention that in a past issue, we, erred in naming, the winners of the mixed doubles event of the "jjam" tennis tournament. We had been led to believe that Mrs. Terrell and George Smith had come out on top and therefore printed it that way. Developments proved that our correspondent was present at the beginning of these players match in the finals and left the court when Mrs. Terrell and Mr. Smith were in the lead. Contrary to our custom, he concluded that this team had triumphed and without verifying this, sent in his story. We have been shown our error by one of our readers in justice to Mrs Sloppie and Mr. Charles Kernau, we carry this error.
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1920
Basket Ball Outcast Last Season; Probably Ruling Power 1920-21
You can't keep a good man down sings Mamie Smith on the Victoria or speaking in the language of the Salvation Army, "A man may be down, but he is never out." If the said statements are true William K. Mitchell, physical director of St. Marks A. C. can accurately be styled a good man, for this athletic leader seemingly cannot be kept down or out of the good graces of the sport-loving public. Bill Mitchell as he is popularly known, first came into athletic prominence in this section when he acted as basket ball manager for the Alpha Physical Culture Club, and with new material kept up the winning streak of Alpha Big 5. It was through Mitchell's foresightedness that the Alpha Club constantly replenished its membership with young men from whom it could draw and hold up its athletic fame. In 1918, when Alpha Big Five was reckoned out of the running by the general public, Mitchell developed a combination out of the youthful members of the club which amazed close students of the game. Under this clever coach's handling, such men as Leester Fial, Hachie Roan and other stars of the court developed speedily.
Winning Personality.
"The old adage says, 'Familiarity breeds contempt,' but this did not hold true with the young men developed into ranking basket ball stars and their benetactor. Mitchell, who had toiled so hard and manfully with them, to the contrary, the youngsters formed a friendship for the manager and coach that was unshakable. This was proven when through some internal troubles, Mitchell secured his connection with the Alpha Physical Culture Club. Very much to his surprise every one of his puns to a man followed him. Despite his entreaties to them, they refused to return and would not be satisfied till he organized another club for them. This meant the total distortion of the Alpha basketball ball squad, for most of its old-timers had gone into retirement—some having tired from many seasons of competition, and others having found themselves unable to keep pace with the youngsters Mitchell brought out for their places.
Organizes Manhattan A. A.
The story of the ex-Athlete basketball manager subsequently organized the Manhattan Athletic Association, and out of his own pocket outfitted an entire basket ball squad, consisting of nearly twenty players, is too well known by most basket ball followers to be repeated.
Blackballed
is alleged that the new club was blamed by the so-called Triple Alliance. This Alliance consisted of Alpha, St Christopher and Spartan clubs—all banded together to keep up their managers and teams out of the sport. None of the Manhattan players were accused of being professionally yet Mitchell is said to have been told at a meeting of the Alliance that none of them would play his team because it would encourage management of other teams to do for selfish purpose what he had done in good faith. He would have the teams their manager follow them. Furthermore, it is claimed that the Alliance warned of forbade outfitting teams against playing Mitchell's outfit. Not one man in that historic meeting, nor any member of any one of the clubs ever admitted any personal involvement against Bell Mitchell.
Engaged by St. Marks.
The new Manhattan basket ball teams soon found themselves "dressed up" with no teams to play, following the Triple Alliance edict. It was at this stage in Mitchell's life that he was sought after by discus clubs as a handler of their teams. He further ingrusted himself in the hearts of his young followers by refusing to do anything newly formed organization even though all odds were against them. Officials of St Marks Catholic Church finally induced Mitchell to cast his lot with their club and take over its athletic supervision. This was agreed upon only after St Marks accepted every Manhattan A player into their club.
Following the acquisition of Mitchell, the St. Marks club was completely reorganized and Mitchell was placed in charge of the athletic department. With what material he had on hand and a few of the many newcomers who joined St. Marks up on learning of their new athletic director, the outcast of last season turned to become a leading championship contender this year. Even though the season has just begun, each of the St. Marks teams have registered a victory, the team out of as many starts gives the 139th Streetclub a clear slate. For the sake of their coach and favorite, the teams hope to win both basket ball titles this season.

A source of great satisfaction for the large crowd which turned out to get the opening game at St. Mary's on Columbus night that Chris was in charge of the represeption. In his own

Frank Hill of Newark Acts as Coach
The Titan A. C. W. Orange, New Jersey, is busy, practicing for another busy season. Johnny Burrell has been engaged as manager and has succeeded in landing Frank Hall, the noted Jersey coach, as their trainer. Through their secretary, R. Mace, we learn that the full squad is out, minds the great Pappy Rickis and Art Vandiver. Despite this loss of two of its best players, Tahlo looks forward to an eventual season. That opens to open their season within the next ten days and will therefor forthright action. Dates may be made through their manager, J. M. Burrell, 23 Howard street, Newark, N.J.
ST. MARKS "FLASHES"
OUTSCORE DUNBAR
Fast 1338th Street Lightweights Too Much for Jerseyites.
In their opening game of the season the St. Mark's "flashes" popularized themselves with local basket ball fans when they outscored the Dunbar A.C. last Tuesday evening in St. Marks hall. With a lineup consisting of Moulton and Williams as forwards, Dunbar and Freeman as guards, and Yates at center, the "flashes" shone brightly. At no time did the Jersey team endanger them through Raymond of Dunbar rallied Moulton for the captain of the flashes in scoring for his respective side. These two little men featured Tuesday evening's attraction—not because each outscored his respective team but because each seemed to be right in mid-season form despite the early stage of the year, handled the ball better and more real playing into the game than his team fellows. Raymond was the player to cage a basket in Tuesday's game and was useful in holding the St. Marks ball to 11 to 15 score in the first half. Guarding of Moulton all through the game was too much for the Jersey boy to overcome and the final whistle found the Dunbars with but 21 points while St. Marks had accounted for 41—almost twice as many. St. Marks Flashes have undoubtedly left their stride while the Dunbar
lightweights need a little more seasoning. A return engagement between these little men after a few weeks should be interesting to see. In the meantime, young Raymond or Mr. Ballard should drill the Dunbar guards in staying with their men.
A reliable reserve was shown by the New York boys when they sent Nelthrop, Jackson and Green in as pubs during the last few minutes of play. Nelthrop will surely be pushing Yates for his place at center if this range, sub can play through a game, in the clever manner in which he performed in those last few minutes Tuesday.

THE AMATEUR QUESTION.
It appears that the old amateur "bogey" that disturbs, the same too peaceful athlete life of America at regular intervals is also rampant in England. To quote the New York Herald: England has the same trouble with the question of amateur status as America. It has its A. A. U. to compare with America's A. A. U. and with about as many faults. Every now and then it singles out a man and attempts to make a glaring example of him.
We are going to invite attack from several quarters by centring the suggestion that several of our colored clubs purge themselves, of this "amateur" class.
With the rapid progress Negro athletes are making today and with the high mark the clubs have attained for pure sportsmanship, no club can afford to have the reputation it has taken years to build up the trophy through the narrow and selfish act of some individual.
England seems to have most of her trouble with the "amateur" cricket player. America's most troublesome sport along professional lines is basketball. It has seemed almost impossible to keep the line drawn in this popular pastime, but sooner or later it is going to fail and our aim in those who have been indirectly ushered in.

The warm days of Indian Summer has given us a rather long and enjoyable baseball season. Yet fans realize that the number of ideal baseball days are numbered for the remainder of this season's final touch to the major league sport, however, there are then and only a few like to see the Lincoln Giants in a last fight against the famous Bacharach for Eastern Championship honors.
Lincoln Have Improved.
That Lincoln have improved wonderfully since their last meeting with the Batahacha is evident from the number of double victories they scored against the New York Giants while the latter were on their annual harm-training day. The double victories have served to put life in the team and from those Williams down to the team are eager to get another chance at the title. It must be said that in all friendships.
Hampton Opens Season
Hampton, Va.--With a one- scored score of 19 to 0, the Hampton football team opened its 1920 season with a victory over the "Light-Hearts" at the first touchdown was made two minutes after play started.

fell into a clinch and tried to pin Wills arms underneath his. Unlikelyly the elongated white pugilist missed one of the colored man's flying fists—the deadly right. Thus with one arm pinned underneath his antagonist. Wills dealt the blow to the body which ended the championship hopes of the white man and accidentally broke two of his ribs.
No More Fights.
Jack Dempsey had a ringside seat. I tried as best I could from my place of vantage to watch his facial expression. The results wrought by time is sufficient to show the high regard the champion has of Willy's fighting ability. Current reports indicate that Dempsey and his manager art again hiding behind the "Color Line." Thus despite the fact that some of the dailies threw their columns open to the public to state their opinions as to whether Dempsey should meet a colored man. Despite the overwhelming majority in letters to the paper favored and in some instances begged the champion to come out of his shell.
Meanwhile Willis goes without engagements. Dempsey claims that there is no one to meet him, and Carpenter the skillfully steered clear of the Negro. Through all of this Willis wants believing that good things come to he who does. Yet no boxer in strict training keeps in better shape than he does. In summing up the whole situation, there can be but one conclusion: since his impressive victory over Fulton, Willis has all the other heavies too scared to fight and few of them are as frightened as Jack Dempsey, who saw the rob crushing blow that ended Fred Fulton's aspirations.

COM. SPORTING CLUB TO GIVE AWAY A TITLE
On Saturday night, the Commonwealth Sporting Club, that new organization in Harlem fostering boxing is offering its patrons a show in which the Neuroboxers are to figure. And they are not being put on as substitutes following the injury of white fighters, either. Lew Raymond, the clever (?) matchmaker of this new club, has called on Leo Johnson and Wes Wee Barton to oppose one another and draw the good dollars out of Harlemites' pockets for the opportunity of seeing them go through their capers. Can your imagine it, dear readers? Old Wee Wee Barton, who at his best was never better than a fourth rater; Wes Wee, who fought so many years ago that our children can't remember him Wee Wee Barton, who today earns his bread by dragging heavy sacks of mail over the floors of the general post-office in this city.
And even at this it is a safe bet that Leo Johnson will not knock Wee Wee out. There are two reasons for this statement, and I guess Matchmaker Lew Raymond skew them both when he arranged this match. Reason one is the fact that the old timer, Barton, has ever had a reputation for hardness. What little success he ever had was due principally to the amount of punishment he could assimilate and still come back for more. A story is told of a time many moons ago when Wee Wee was slated to meet an old third grade white boxer named Faddy. Sullivan. When the fighters entered the ring, then hands were examined, and Wee Wee was given more than halfage of his boxer. After unwilling about three yards off each hand Sullivan was allowed to put on the gloves, whereupon he retorted that he knew he could not hurt the little — with his hands then
Reason two is that every fight follower knows - Leo Johnson has broken both of his hands in his day and cannot hit hard. The fight will therefore go the limit unless Wee Wee discovers the fountain of youth prior to tight time and prepares to slip a haymaker over on Leo.
To the winner of this fracas, Lew Raymond is offering a call called the Allied Lightweight Championship on the World. Wonderful? I'll say it is I suppose you are wondering, like I am. Where did Raymond get his title? I like this an alliance of his which he intends adding to the Walker Boxing Law. Or maybe the clever matchmaker made it himself. In such an event he is showing undue liberality in giving it away.
If any such title is held by any hoster I don't believe little Arthur Stigall of Southern climes, should be overlooked. Should the Commonwealth really desire an attraction let it stage an elimination contest between Eddie Dorsey, Leo Johnson Arthur Stigall, and even Wee Wee since they love him so they can make it more interesting by offering the winner a bout with Beans Leonard for a title worth while. Then they will be coming near the Negro's wishes. There is no mistake about it. Harlem responds have seen our good fighters robbed and denied so long that they are eager to witness our present field an action against the whites.
Will the Commonwealth play wise
also to local residents or are we
never see one good Negro light?

Announcement has been made at A. A. U. headquarters of the forming last work of a new branch association embracing the State of Connecticut and which is to be known as the Connecticut Association of the Amateur Athletic Union.
Several officials of the Metropolitan Association, which heretofore included the State of Connecticut, made the trip to New Haven last Friday and aided in the organization of the new branch.
The setting apart of this new district is, naturally, not looked upon favorably by local clubs since it will rob them of some of their very heat athletic strength. The smaller clubs, particularly, can ill afford to lose those of their members who reside in Connecticut. The New York A. C. suffers the loss of R. W. Landon, the Yale student who captured the Olympic high jump with a record leap, but with the wealth of material that the 99th Street organization possesses. Landon will not be missed.
The hardest blow struck the colored clubs, was the loss to the Salem-Crescent A. C. of Sandy Evans, whose home is Warehouse Point, Conn., a suburb of Hartford. Since he joined the Salem club in 1916, Evans has been, next to P. J. White, the most consistent point scorer for his organization.
Immediately after he joined Salem and began receiving the attention of the late, Lionel LaBect, Evans began to show rapid improvement as a middle distance runner and this improvement has continued until today he stands about the best half meter in this section.
The new association will doubles receive most of its support from the heavy athletic enrollment at Yale. There are many new clubs, too, that have sprung up in the last year, so in New Haven Hartford, Stamford and smaller towns, anticipating the organization of a Connecticut branch of the A. A. U.
There is little doubt in local circles but that the new district will prove a successful and thriving one.

Fleet St. Church. Brooklyn.
Dr. W. C. Brown filled his pulpit at 10:45 a.m. preaching from the subject "Odysse" a.m. preaching under difficulties. This was a very forceful and practical sermon. Thelesser was from old Testament history, rejoicing the orders and difficulties of the children of Israel under the leadership of Moses and the order of Jehovah to go "Forward, and applied it to the racial state of our people today. Among the many things the pastor said, he outlined the condition under which we would eventually, but surely, obtain through our progress of moral, intellectual and intellectualewardship. He said that no nation or race had come into their own fully; until they had prepared themselves to receive it, and the Jehovah is as mindful of the tears, and supplications of his people today as in the days of Moses. Such leaders, as Dr. J. B. Dudley of the A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C. are now and have been the cause of some of the difficulties the race has encountered on its march but that would not long retard its programs. The preacher characterized him (Dr. Dudley) as a "bread and butter" leader, catering to the color prejudice of the South at the cost of the womanhood of the race, and their rights of Citizenship guaranteed to them under the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The pastor concluded with saying that Dudley and his kind should have a decent letting alone by all free and liberty loving men and women of the race.
At 3 p. m. the Lords' Supper was administered to more than three hundred communicants. The Communion Sermon was preached by the Rev. Hume, on the subject "Fortraying the Bible and its laish religion," from the text Isaiah 33:17. Rev. Hunter is one of the young ministers of the church and his work is receiving very favorable comments from the membership.
At 7:45 P. M. Dr. Brown, delivered a special sermon to the "Unique Operating Co." inc., a business association, choosing for his subject "A race's possibilities by the way of business." The one thing that impressed the writer, and a large audience as well, is that the preacher lay away from the church and its necessities, loath to advise the people to secure home, themselves, and to provide business sufferings to give employment to our own boys.
John H. Neal, the financial secretary is to be commended for bringing this organisation to the church, on this occasion, that such timely advice
