FOR QUALITY DR. AND The New York Age THE HOME PAPER VOLUME 34. NO. 16. THE REPORTER HASLY RECEIVED NEW YORK, N. Y., DECEMBER 4, 1921 MOP ESTABLISHED KNOWN PRICE FIVE CENTS 1920 Lynching Record: Decrease of 22 From 1910; Reduction of Southern Representation From Both Angles Less Than One-Third Were For Rape or Atiempted Rape, Only Eighteen Being Charged With This Crime In Four Cases the Mobs Were Fired Upon By Law Defenders—Seven Lynchers Killed and Many More Wounded The lynching record for 1920, as tabulated by Monroe N. Work of the Department of Records and Research of the Trinkeege Institute, and made public on January 1st, 1921, shows not only a decrease in the number of lynchings as compared with previous years, but it shows also that officers of the law prevented lynchings in fifty-six instances, ten in northern states and forty-six in southern cities. In twelve instances armed forces under command of law officials were used against the lynching mobs and in four instances the mob was fired upon. Seven would be lynchers were killed by the law officers and a large number wounded. In two cases the prisoners were removed or the guard was largely increased or other precautions were taken by the officials. During 1921 according to the report of M. Work, sixteen persons, were killed while two less than the eighty-thousand which were lynched in 1919. Fifty-thousand of the 1929 lynchings were in the South and nine in the West and North.

Washington, D. C.—From towns, villages, and cities all over the country we require for more houses, and this need is particularly urgent among the residents of our racial group in many of the industrial centers of the Northwest. Our population has greatly increased during the past few years. In some of these communities it would be practical, and in fact good business for the intelligent members of our group to organize, operate and control a. Building and Loan Association through which they could finance their own home buying and building activities. But community conditions should at first be carefully studied, and if it is found that the housing situation is acute; that the permanent industries give employment to at least five hundred marriages that the conditions of employment are attractive; that the type of colde wage workers are satisfactory to the employers, and that there are industrial opportunities for a larger and permanent population, a building and loan association should be organized and for the housing of control, the stock should be members of the race. tally, and spiritually, in prayer and in song, in life and in death, segregated and neglected. Basing an estimate on the U. S. Census data of 1910 it is reasonable to assume that our people are now buying homes—not apartment houses—for personal occupancy at the rate of at least 12,500 per year, at the average value of these homes—as low as 2,000. The transactions would call for an aggregate yearly expenditure of twenty-hus million dollars. Assuming that the average cash payment is $500, we have left annual encumbrance of Association Is Needed. It is any doubt concerning the truth that an association in your city, willing to own a lot or two that you bought six years ago and around which grown a choice white residents will go to the officials of your building and loan association and a loan for a loan with which to build a home for your family; or if you own female residential property "up town" in an average size city that is developing a film Crow" district around a town school house; try to negotiate a loan from a building association for the purpose of improving the property or for huging the adjoining premises. In either and if both cases you will be told to call again, and upon your return at the time specified, you will be informed that it is impossible to make the loan, but that arrangements can be made if the purchase of your "up-street" property if you care to call. In the first instance the officials have been in touch with the people who rent your house and who object to your use and in the second instance they are trying to hand over the keys to the building ad ladyly.

Assuming that the average cash payment is $500, we have left an aggregate annual encumbrance of $18,750,600, which requires an exceedingly large yearly interest payment. Building and Loan Laws Are Rigid. If this great amount of mortgage and interest money is cleared, through agencies other than our own, why can we not through the organization of cooperative building and then association by a percentage of compulsions made state taxes or colored life and fire insurance companies, sustain the money within the race. The laws relating to building and loan associations are very rigid in almost every state, and unless the officers, who are always bound in an authorized survey and holding company, prefer to serve terms in the penitentiary rather than to enjoy the freedom of their homes, they will not even attempt to jeopardize the recourse of the association which unlike the financial affairs of churches and lodges, are regularly inspected by state officials. The opportunity for embourglement, therefore, or for a shrinkage of business—first most important—is unequivocal and almost absolute safety, of buildings, is assured. That building and loan structures can be protected is required by statute of war laws, but being protected is not always possible.

State Point 101 Campaign Against Southern Hatred More than 2,000 people packed Palace Casino on Monday night, January 3, at the evening session of the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and by a rousing and unanimous vote endorsed the work of the Association in its fight on the Ku-Klux Klan. Following an eloquent appeal by the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall of Detroit, pledges amounting to $1,059 were made and cash amounting to $473.06 was contributed by the audience. A full report of the long legal fight made since October, 1919, by the Association to save the lives of the twelve men sentenced to death and the 67 others sentenced to prison terms for connection with the Phillips County, Ark. riots was made by James Walden Johnson, secretary of the Association. Mr. Johnson announced the victory won in the Arkansas State Supreme Court on December 6 when that court a second time reversed the Phillips County Circuit Court in six of the cases of the men sentenced to death, remanding the cases again to the lower court for a new trial. Walter F. White, assistant secretary, and James Weldon Johnson, Rev. F. A. Cullen, presided and the invocation was by Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop of St. Phillips Church. The following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, the Ku-Klux Klan menace to peace and humanity and to orderly government; and whereas, the extension of its secret and terrorist activities constitutes a danger to representative government in the United States: "Be sure resolved, That the meeting unanimously denounces the Ku-Klux Klan and Ku Kluxism and urges American citizens, white and colored, to or- The speakers were the Rev.

CHARGED WITH THEFT (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) Atlanta, Ga.—According to developments of the past few days, the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Co., of which the president, Alonzo F. Herndon, is owner of ninety per cent of the stock, is in bad shape because of defalcations to the extent of approximately $25,000, alleged to have been committed by the general manager, J. C. Lindsay, with the former secretary and auditor, C. C. Shanks, and the present cashier, Miss Marie Anderson, probably implicated. Mr. Lindsey was arrested on warrants sworn out by Mr. Chamblee, vice-president, and W. Carroll Latimer, attorney, on affidavits furnished by Shanks and Miss Anderson, and held in $25,000 bonds for embezzlement. The bond was furnished and Lindsey released. Both Shanks and Miss. Anderson avered knowledge of the existence of a捞蓄, but both declared at first that they had not benefited in any way, but later information alleges that Shanks has confessed to receiving $3,000 and Sias Anderson is alleged to have admitted receipt $1,000. It is said by those familiar with the state's insurance laws that the stockholders are responsible to the police holders, the state and the United States Government and will be required to make good the shortage. As Mr. Herrand is almost the sole holder of the company's stock, the loan, if there is one, will fall almost entirely upon him. Mr. Hirschman is one of the wealthiest men in the town and is probably simply able to make good to his policy holders. COLORED WOMEN SERVE ON ATLANTIC CITY JUSTY.

CALVIN CHASE DIED IN DEE OFFICE JAN. 3 (Continued from First Page) Washington, D. C.-William Calvin Chase, the veteran editor of the Washington Bee, died suddenly Monday, January 3rd, at noon, while sitting in the Bee office at 1169 I street, northwest. Mr. Chase founded the Bee and has been publishing it for more than forty years. He was prominent in civic and political matters, and was one of the oldest and most prominent lawyers at the Washington Bar. DR. BURHAM, BAPTIST LEADER, PASSES AWAY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Columbia, S. C.-The Rev. Dr. John J. Durham, pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church, this city, and president of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of South Carolina in the city of Deerfield, J. the Rev. had been in poor condition for a long time but was not contended for the time he was sitting at the breakfast table when death came to him. Dr. Durham was born at Woodruff, Spartanburg county, South Carolina, and attended the South Carolina College at Columbia, Atlanta (Ga.) University and Pisk University at Nashville, Teum, completing his college course at the latter school. He took the medical course at Mehary College and practiced medicine for several years. He finally gave up medicine and devoted all of his time to the ministry. Before entering school he pastored in Spartanburg county.

Anderson A Discussion of the Question with Religion To Its Ultimate Effect Upon Voters in Both Northern and Southern States The number of representatives which a state can have in Congress and the number of votes which it can cast for president, is based on the population of the state.—one representative or vote for each specified number of people, regardless however, that each state shall have at least one. As a basis for this representation all the potential citizenship is counted, men, women and children, over the disfranchised portion of the population. This gives the South, with the disfranchise arrangements against colored people, a great advantage in the relative strength of its white Democratic population. Take, for example, South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia. In these three states together half the population is colored. That is, half of the representation of these states in Congress and half of the votes which they can for president in the electoral college are based on the colored population. If they disfranchise their colored people, each white man in these states has the voting strength of two men, even if every white man in the state should vote. But if, as is usually the case, some of the white people are also disfranchise or grow indifferent as a result of the outing of the Negro, then each voting white may have the power of three, four, five or more voters in other states. South Always Had Advantage. The South has always enjoyed such advantage: before the "Civil War Amendments," the Constitution gave the South a three-fifth vote for every slave. The tragedy of this is plain: the slave gave the master claim in Congress extra power to use against the freeing of the slave. The disfranchised free Negro is in worse plight; for he counts as five-fifths, and this whole vote is in the hands of those who wish to keep him disfranchised. The Fourteenth Amendment, foreseeing this effort to disfranchise the freed Negro, decreed that any state which disfranchised any of its people, should in proportion to such disfranchised number lose votes in Congress and in Presidential elections. The Fifteenth Amendment, foreseeing that some very rebellious state might decide to disfranchise its Negroes and accept the loss, went further and declared that it shall be unlawful for any state to discriminate against its citizens on account of race or color. Both amendments give Congress power to enforce them by appropriate legislation. Practically the whole colored population in a number of the Southern states is today disfranchised. And the question now among colored people, and others, who favor their citizenship, is whether Congress should reduce Southern representation in accordance with the law of the land and whether such reduction will react for good to the colored man and his citizenship rights. The Reduction Question. There is naturally some difference of opinion even among colored people. Dr. Dubois, editor of the Crisis has been for a number of years a consistent advocate of reduction. The writer of this article has always agreed with Dr. DuBois in this, but it is our purpose; E. B. Terry, M. D.; Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Bird, Dr. Dr. Wm. S. Smith, Rev. Florence Randolph, president N. J.

D.; Christopher Penny, editor, Philadelphia; Dr. Chas. H. Trussy, Mrs. F. J. Layton; Mrs. Marie L. Quinn; Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, President State Federation Colored Women's Center pose here to state all the arguments from the colored American who publish both for and against reduction. In favor of reflection it must be conceived. 1. That it would begin the optimum power of the stance which distracts its colored people, and so lessen its power to perpetuate that distranchment. 2. That it would make it more difficult to extend distranchement to any other state, inasmuch as such state would have to consider the very interesting question of its prospective loss or power as a state. 3. That it would put a premium or the re-centranching of the already distranchised Negro: for a state to increase its votes in Congress and the electoral college by increasing the voting strength of its population. 4. That it would receive those almost decentralized arguments to the Constitution, and give a recognition to the dark man, human and citizenship which would impress the whole unattitudes of the world. 5. That, as corollary or consequence of all this, it would temporarily lesser the power of the state, which are in corrigibly opposed to the equal citizenship of colored people, would make it harder to legislate against the Negro as a race anywhere, especially in Congress and easier to get through certain solely needed national legislation, like anti-lynching laws and anti-Jim Crow laws. And it would give the Negro voter of the free states a greater portion weight against the unlawful opposition to his race. Disadvantages of Reduction. Against reduction it is said: 1. That it woll license the South to distranchise the Negro by permitting it to pay the constitutional fee. 2. That it would encourage other states like Illinois to encourage Ohio where the Negro's political strength it growing, to get rid of it by following the example of the South. 3. That it would constitutionally effectually decidize the Negro. 4. It is a presupposition of all these objections that the disfranchising state would be permanently satisfied with the reduction of its representation and power in the nation. It seems clear to us that the reason in favor of reduction can stand on their own foot, while there possibilities alleged against it must depend upon the correctness of the calculation that one state would be permanently satisfied with reduced power. And if any, he so determined to continue displeasure as to do so under penalty would not such state be sure to continue disfranchisement if there be penalty all at. And would it not be better for the Negro if a state so determined must have reduced power in the nation? In spite, however, of defiant declarations of incomparibility, we must consider human nature. An interpreter South Cardinian of the present generation may assert that his state will accept one representative before it will allow colored people to vote there, but he cannot speak for the next generation. A future generation in South Carolina would most likely refuse to cur off in order to spice its face, and after that he had passed and the matter had become cold history, there would be a reasonable attitude to follow colored people to vote who ought to vote. The human nature would have to change for both the Negro and the state would have an interest in his vote.

C. there in human nature to lead us to include that the, wrongdoer will be inclined to get rid of his wrongdoing when it costs him no limit, that less inclined to be rid of it if it causes themselves. These questions answer Another fear is, that if the South is permitted to pay the price and oust the negro, other states whose whites may grow jealous of his political prestige will do the same. But will not those other states follow the south's example answer if they are permitted to disfranchise the Negro with impunity. Will Ohio not follow in the footsteps of South Carolina when it costs nothing, be tempted to follow when it costs partly? In the name of human nature, will a criminal say: Since they have made this offense a hanging crime, I think I will commit it just to get hung. It is our opinion that if Ohio faced the prospect of losing even one representative by disfranchising its colored voters, there would be less reason and much less temptation to disfranchise them. Ohio would reason like this: If no disfranchise the colored people because they can elect one representative, we will lose that representative, who is usually white, and we would gain nothing. For there is always the added probability that the population though much enough to give the state one more representative will be so scattered among the districts that the colored people will not have a majority vote for any one representative. Enforcing the Law Then there is a fear in many college people who are afraid of what any political move to the Court of Brotherhood may entail. To see that such action by Court is well tried to acknowledge and even to confirm the decontamination of colored people, that test is based on a misinterpretation of law and punishment. Because a court punishes a wrong act, it does not thereby enclose his wrong act because he is to contour it. It does not even stop the court from inflicting other and greater penalties if the wrong act is contouring. So the court is not to contour the punishment reduced under the Fourteenth Amendment, that by no means catches the court from applying the Fifteenth Amendment and controlling the state to allow the Nicro this constitutional right to vote. But on the other hand, the application of the penalty under the Amendment would make it the more easy to enforce the latter, because as the siming state would be deemed part of its votes in Congress, part of its power to impose the mercies upon it would be much more in a trust that does not lie in the property nor deserves the vengeance of his rights. Because we punish a state for violation the rights of its citizens, that does not deserve that the o tenors are not citizens. 11. Congress accepts Alabama to give up five of its votes in that body, it does not simplify the constitutional declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens thereof and of the state wherein they reside." An act of congress does not alter the Constitution. To enforce law is not to abrogate it. But, there is no reason in the assumption that the diffranchising state will decide and permanently hold to its decision to give up its power rather than conform to the fundamental law of the land. To make reduction of representation objectionable to the Negro, the state should not be merely just as willing to diffranchise the Negro when the state is penalized, but MORE WILL-ING::: for if it be only just as willing as before, it would be still better for the Negro that such state should lose some of its power and be LESS able to wrong him. And especially should such state lose that part of its political power which it derives from the physical presence of the Negro. Civilization Would Be Secure. But there is nothing in human nature to justify the opinion that reasoning men will continue to choose the wrong even at cost. Of course men always threaten and bluster when the anove is first made to deprive them of their "right" to do wrong. The slaveholder of 1850 swore by all the eternal stars that he would die and die before he ever live with "freeigger." Reduction of its representation in institution to its disbandment of cultural goods would certainly strip the South from its political power in the war. Southern white people could be the main resource for election and national administration until they and their colored people made their minds to compete in the doing of it. That section would immediately begin to be "sold," and for the short time in which it would be a national tradition to seek to become more solid, it would nevertheless be a much smaller and less dangerous solid. Not only would the interests of the Negro be advanced, but the interests of civilization in America and especially in the South would be made more secure. And in Southern representation is reduced, the Negro can easily afford to wait on all the dividends.

Hubbard Retires and Becomes President Emeritus After Nearly 40 Years' Service—Dr. Mullowney Successor An endowment of $400,000 for Meharry Medical College, from the Carnegie Foundation, the General Educational Board and the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was announced December 22 by Robert Ewing, president of the Board of Trustees. The endowment will be made effective about February 10, 1921. Youth and Beauty O BY MONA The story old is often told of the tortoise and the hare; run and nearly won, by the fastest of the pair.

The present endowment of the college is $80,000. Trustee Hold Meeting. The announcement followed a meeting of the trustees, held at the Nashville Trust Company, which was attended also by Bishop/Nicholson of Chicago, and Dr. P. J. Mawley, secretary of the board of education of the Methodist Church. By the action of the trustees, the Nashville Trust Company is made fiscal agent for the institution and a complete statement of the present endowment and the finances of the school was made by Dr. G. W. Hulbard, president. Doctor Hubbard, who some time ago notified the trustees of the college of his desire to retire from active duty, was unanimously chosen president emeritus of the institution, and Dr. John J. Mulloway, who occupies a chair in Girard Medical College of Philadelphia, was elected president. 1. Hubbard to Retire February 1. In anticipation of the retirement of Dr. Hubbard, and his election as successor, the new president has been in Nashville for the past thirty days familiarizing himself with the work of the college and will assume his duties about February 1. Until that time Dr. Hubbard will continue in charge. The new president of the college was chosen after a considerable amount of investigation and his experience in Philadelphia and other fields, according to Dr. P. J. Maveyet, has fitted him admirably for the duty he will assume here. In discussing the endowment last night, Dr. Maveyet said: "This is only the beginning. Speaking for the board of education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, it is not the policy of the board to make one endowment and then quit. As the school grows there will probably be other sums advanced in proportion to its needs. Mehary Medical College ought to be made the biggest and best institution of its kind in the world." New Board of Trustees. New members added to the board of trustees yesterday were John H. Race, Dr. P. J. Macey, and Dr. Walter M. Morgan. The other members of the board are: Robert Lewing, president; William Nelson, A. M.; George W. Hulbard, M. D.; secretary-treasurer; William P. Anderson, D. D.; Cincinnati; John A. Kumler, D. D.; Hamilton, O.; Wilber P. Thirkield, D. D.; New Orleans, La.; Lewis N. Gatch, Cincinnati; O.; Hon. C. L. Swain, Cincinnati; O.; Res. E. J. Guthire, Whitefoord K; Col. James C. Napier, Jaish B. Scott, D. Scott, D. D. Bruce R. Payne, Wilber F. Tollett, D. D., Thomas Nicholson, D. D. Dr. G. W. Hubbard, who has been the active head of Meharry Medical College practically since its inception in 1870, was given a vote of appreciation for his long and faithful service by the trustees. He was also given the assurance that, with the severance of active connection with the college, the pension bereftore promised by the general educational board in recognition of his service, would take immediate effect. Home for Dr. Hubbard. Since the announcement that Dr. Hubbard will retire, the alumni of the in- Mohairy Medical College now has 629 students in the departments of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing. In addition to the income from the former endowment, Dr. Mueety said last night that $25,000 had been supplied to the institution each year by the three boards making the endowment announced yesterday. The college was originally the medical department of the Central Tennessee College, organised in 1876 for the purpose of furnishing an opportunity to Neumon to secure medical education. It became known as Mohairy Medical College in 1900, when the Central Tennessee College changed its name to Walden University.

In a special to the New York World from Atlanta, Ga., last week, Col. William J. Simmons, the so-called imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan, came back with a lengthy rejoinder to the deacronation of the order by Alfred J. Talley, immer assistant district attorney of New York County. In his longwinded statement which took up over a column, Col. Simmons recognized the fact that Mr. Talley's charge that the organization is un-American imputes to its membership reason to the Government, and in so doing indicts members of Congress, judges, state attorney, generals, sheriffs, chiefs of police and prominent citizens. Well if that is true, the greater degree of their treason. The statement that the organization is composed of narrow-chested bigots is called ridiculous. But it is not one half as ridiculous as the notates and conduct represented in the photographs of the Ku Klux Klan taken around Atlanta. Singularly enough the wizard denied the expectation that the organization in its operations in New York City will violate any laws of the land or any fundamental principle of the American Government. That is probably true, especially as long as its members feel that the police or the district attorney have an eye on them. To the charge that the organization is imposed to everything for which Lincoln stood, the Ku Klux chief blasthenically asserted that the Kalm is ready any day to put its whole case into the heart and hand of the great Lincoln, because the spirit of the organization and its foundation principles are those which Lincoln fought for and his warm heart's blood consecrated." Col. Simmons must have become slightly mixed when he substituted the name of Lincoln for that of N. B. Forrest, the instigator of the massacre of Fort Pillow, whom he evidently had in mind as the founder of the order. But the culminating boast that the organization has won for itself the deep gratitude of the officials of law and order as an arm of the law and a real bulwark of civil authority is beyond the belief of the most credulous. The claim that the Ku Klux Klan is a part of the government and a bulwark of law and order, if in the highest degree true, would mean that lynching in the South was doomed and mob violence a thing of the past. But there is no credit to put in any part of this deceptive statement. It is meant only for consumption by credulous Northerners. It is to be noted that nothing was said concerning the first object of the organization, the maintenance of white preemacy by force and intimidation. The whole statement is an illustration of the double faced deprivacy of the leaders of the organization in professing one thing in the South and another at the North. In the South the clanmen pose as dominating daredevils seeking whom they can scare and intimidate by midnight visitations in lofty country districts. In New York they would become as harmless as lambs, a real bullwolf of civil authority and the preservation of law and order. Truly a wolf in lamb's clothing. The lignite, too tawny. As Mr. Tailley truly said, "There is no room in New York for the Ku Klux Klan. LITTLETON ON LYNCH LAW. Martin W. Littleton is a well-known southerner who has won a conspicuous position as a lawyer in the New York courts. He is counsel for Robert P. Prindell, who was indicted by a grand jury on charges of extortion and coercion, growing out of the building trust investigation by the Lockwood committee. Mr. Littleton does not want his client to be tried in New York county and ought to have his case transferred on the ground that a fair trial could not be had here. He declared in court the other day that his client was being made the victim of lynch law, which he evidently objects to when it threatens to accused person who has retained him counsel. But Mr. Littleton went on easy as reported in the daily papers: "I come from the South, where many, men have been lynched who deserved lynching by their deeds. But they were lynched without due process, of law. What's happening here is lynching an ink law in New York. You can lynch anyone you want. You can do it either way. I don't propose to allow this man to be lynched by whole gallows of ink. Look at this!" Mr. Littleton apparently would justify many lynchings committed by fumigation. without due process of trial, and despite the fact that in many cases the victims of the mob were proved innocent of the alleged crimes. But he is fearful that the head of the Building Trust Council who contributed to bring about the leaking shortage in New York City, cannot obtain a fair trial by a jury of his peers. This solicitude for the inscrery and a wealthy client is very touching. But the attempt to justify lynching in the South was uncalled for. If lynching is outside the law and unjustifiable in New York, it should be unjustifiable in Georgia or Texas. Or does Mr. Littleton mean to argue that a different standard of civilization should be applied to South in such matters? It looks that way. The Southern psychology on the subject of lynching is peculiar as demonstrated by this utterance of a successful pleader. It requires the force of a Federal statute to deal with the evil and thus save the South from its own perversity. A DANGEROUS REMEDY. With the incoming of a Republican administration and the necessity for a new congressional reapportionment, to be based on the latest census figures, there seems to be an effort to crystallize sentiment in favor of a reduction of the representation of the South. For instance, the National Republican, the aggressive and stalwart champion of party policies, edited by George B. Lockwood, at Washington, D. C., recently retitled the following pointer, under the caption "Put it up to Him:" Write your congressman and ask him if when the next reapportionment is made he proposes to help, reduce the representation in Congress and the electoral college of states where representative government actually exists, or if he proposes to make members of the House and the electoral college, for mythical constituencies of Negroes and poor whites who are never permitted to get in sight of a ballot box, especially in view of the fact that in so doing he will be violating his oath to support a Constitution for reduction of representation of states which reduce their voting population. This offers one way of dealing with the suppression of the suffrage in many of the Southern States, but Tnr Ace has always been inclined to regard it as the least satisfactory way. To reduce the representation of the South would still leave many states without a republican form of government, with the liberties and properties of the masses under the control of the same old oligarchy that now oppresses them. It would be an evasion of the duty of the Congress, which should enact appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth, fifteenth and nineteenth amendments. To do less than this means a setback for the cause of popular government throughout the republic. There is still another way in which the Congress might assert its determination to bring about equality of representation. Let it exercise its undoubted right to decide on the qualification of its membership, as it did in the case of Berger from Milwaukee. Let it exclude those representatives whose title to a seat is tainted by fraud or the suppression of the suffrage. Either one of these courses will require backbone and courage, but those qualities are still to be found in the ranks of Republicanism. Before adopting the policy of supine acquiescence in Southern disfranchisement, let the policy of a vigorous enforcement of constitutional rights be tried. TO AVOID A MISSTEP. The prenownness of the average New Yorker to rush heedlessly into the mares of the subway, without keeping guard as to the firmness of his footing, has given occasion to the familiar warning of the platform guards, "Watch your step!" Just as such a caution note is needed in the rapid transit world, so is there need for a similar note to be sounded in the social and business affairs of the community. The policy of The Acz has always been to advocate and support all movements along constructive lines for the general benefit of the community and the special benefit of the race. When such a movement or institution has seemed in danger of injury through the failure of some individual in charge to measure up to his responsibilities, it has felt that the individual should be removed rather than the interests of the work should suffer. We have therefore taken occasion at various times to emphasize the necessity for those holding positions of responsibility, both in the church and in other institutions, of preserving unblemished character and discreet conduct in the private, as well as public walk. The reason for the insistence upon this scrupulous care of conduct, apart from the moral principles involved, is that the slightest moral misstep on the part of a minister or other leader in racial progress, is bound to reflect not only upon the individual but upon the institution with which he is connected. Such a leader must not only be pure, but like Caesar's wife, above reproach. If such an individual, be he minister or layman, show signs of becoming involved in any entanglement that may came him to trip or make a misstep, it becomes the duty of all the brethren to come to his support with the friendly antonym. "Watch your step!" That the occasion for such warning may be rare is matter for congratulation. Nevertheless, when the occasion comes the note should be sounded. A Washington publication has discovered that President-elect Harding does not like Jews. Those hands that hope for peace in the inauguration ceremony have been cut. THE QUESTION OF DISARMAMENT. The question of disarmament was given a new impetus on account of the proposed abolition of Senator Borah. Senator Borah in his resolution proposes that England and Japan and the United States hold a confluence for agreeing on a program of naval disarmament. There is no certainty that the Borah resolution will be carried into effect. However, it is certain that the proposition would meet with the approval of both England and Japan. Both England and Japan are feeling the pressure of their great debts incurred during the war and would be glad to be able to economize on naval expenditures. It can be judged how hard Great Britain is pressed when she admits a willingness to waive her supremacy of the seas and to cast her navy down to equal that of the United States. It is now up to the United States to throw herself on the side of continuing enorbitant expenditures for warships or for a definite curtailment on the part of the three leading naval powers. France and Italy are not considered in the Borah plan, perhaps because of the fact that both of them have lost their rating as belonging to the formidable naval powers. And, too, it is likely that they were left out of consideration because both of them are now expending their greater energies on their armies rather than their navies. There is a chance, then, that the world may see a discontinuance of the mad race for a preponderance of naval power. Perhaps there will also follow a similar program as to land forces. Disarmament today constitutes the only way of escape for Europe from bankruptcy. All of the nations of Europe are struggling under a debt which they find themselves unable to carry, and yet they feel that they must continue spending billions for armament. If the world could disarm today it would itself save not only financially but spiritually. Some idea of what war costs the United States may be gained from the fact that of all the moneys appropriated and expended by the government, more than ninety-two per cent is spent for wars that have been fought or for wars which we are preparing to fight, and less than eight per cent is spent for all other purposes. Perhaps there are countries in Europe in which the proportion spent for war is even greater. Now what is the use of these countries in Europe crying for bread and, complaining about their hard lot while they are still spending ninety and perhaps ninety-five per cent of all the money they have for guns and ships and the maintenance of men under arms? The whole procedure is so absurd as to rob one of any pity for their terrible plight. The worst case of blindness on this part seems to be that of France. France, the country which has so many admirable qualities, seems to have run mid upon the question of holding Germany down by force of arms. Her politicians are clamoring for the total disarmament of Germany and at the same time for greater armed efficiency on the part of France. M. Poincaire in a recent article in the "Matin" said: "This bad faith should not surprise us. Germany has accustomed us to it. It ought not to frighten us. Germany today is incapable of resisting us. Should it please us to compel her by force to fulfill the treaty we would be within our rights. But although Germany's conduct does not endanger us today we cannot rest blind to it, for the day will come when she will be again dangerous." "Disarmament of Germany is a primary condition of durable peace. Without this precaution the peace of Europe will remain at the mercy of brainstorms and no one can walk in peace. The Allies understood that perfectly. Their policies proclaimed it at Versailles, San Remo, Hythe, Boulogne, and Sipa. But since the Allies are kindly souls each of their proclamations has been accompanied by concession to Germany. Accustomed to these generosities the Reich naturally asks for new concessions today." M. Poincare then quotes Article 160 of the Treaty, saying that by March 31, 1920, the German army ought not to exceed 100,000 men, and Article 162, saying that the police forces must not be greater than in 1913 units, to correspond with increases in population. It is strange that the politics of France cannot see that they are placing their hopes on a broken reed when they count upon the permanent subjection of Germany by French armies. The safety of France does not depend upon its disarming Germany while arming France but upon the disarmament of the entire world. Germany is a nation of almost double the population of France, a virile and intelligent nation. France may be able to hold it in check for a generation, but what is a generation in the course of history? There is absolutely no way in which France can indefinitely hold Germany in check by force. It seems that the erstwhile clear-headed France ought to see that her strength lies not in arms but in disarmament, the disarmament of all the nations of the world. It is toward this end that she ought to be taking the lead. SLANDERING THE SOUTH many of the southern white daily living at the mouth regarding the 's' by the representatives of the N. White House Committee on the Census "Observer," for instance, speaks of many dangerous class of agitators, that they are dangerous the "Observer "News" accuses them of not they testified to. For instance, institution whose officials are testifying to the South's treatment of the Negro real situation in this part of the case as they know about the diet of any heard of some exceptional institution his rights and overlooked black man was given his rights and norm newspapers which we have a delusion that the men who testified to were northern born and not merely from hearsey. Of course, a sense at all, knows something if he knows anything at all about Negro is denied a great many of right to vote under the same counter of enlightenment to the south down that each one of the men wield wholly or in part educated in man who had lived and worked in wars and therefore knew from first that he was testifying to. The citizens of many of the southern white daily newspapers are foaming and frotting at the mouth regarding the "slandering" of the South indulged in by the representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. who appeared before the House Committee on the Census a week ago. The Charlotte "Observer," for instance, speaks of these representatives as "the most dangerous class of agitators in the country." In just what way they are dangerous the "Observer" neglects to say. The Charleston "News" accuses them of not knowing anything about what they testified to. For instance, in an editorial it says, "The Association whose officials are testifying before the committee in regard to the South's treatment of the Negroes know about as much about the real situation in this part of the country and the real facts of the case as they know about the diet of the Hottentots. They have probably heard of some exceptional instance in which a colored man was denied his rights and overlooked a thousand instances where the black man was given his rights and even more." All the southern newspapers which we have read seem to be laboring under the delusion that the men who testified before the committee at Washington were northern born and northern educated and were talking merely from hearsay. Of course, a man born in the North, who has any sense at all, knows something about conditions in the South; and if he knows anything at all about these conditions he knows that the Negro is denied a great many of his rights, and in particular the right to vote under the same conditions as other men. But, as a matter of enlightenment to the southern white newspapers, let it be known that each one of the men who testified was born in the South and wholly or in part educated in the South, that each one was a man who had lived and worked in the South for a long number of years and therefore knew from first hand knowledge and experience what he was testifying to. THE BOOBY PRIZE was actually if not technically at months. Daring all that time the d. in this country an ambassador government. This ambassador, the object of attention, during the This country was actually if not technically at war with Russia for a good many months. During all that time the Bolshevik government maintained, in this country an ambassador who was never accepted by this government. This ambassador, Mr. L. C. A. K. Martens, has been the object of attacks during the whole time in which he has tried to act in his official capacity, although it must be said that his activities have not been diplomatic in any way but mostly confined to phone for commerce between Russia and the United States. against Mr. Marmot during the war, they were never carried out, and now that the war is all over, or supposed to be all over, the administration at Washington has decided that Mr. Martenus must be deported. When Russia issued this she ordered her ambassador to close up his office, cancel all trade agreements between merchants in the United States and Russia, and come home. Thus the administration at Washington has again needlessly offended Russia at a time when there seems to be absolutely no necessity for such action. It is proof positive that the penicillia condition among certain classes in the United States is greater than it is among the same classes in England. England is a great deal closer to Bolshievism than the United States, but does not seem to fear it nearly as much. In fact, England is actually arriving at a trade understanding with Russia and this trade understanding will inevitably lead to a diplomatic recognition. When that diplomatic recognition between England and Russia comes, it will find England with the bulk of Russian trade in her possession and the United States on the outside. By some sort of financial logic which we have no means of understanding, the United States Treasury Department has ruled that Russian gold is absolutely valueless in the United States. Mr. R. F. Baker, Director of the Mint, declared in a letter on this subject, "The United States mints and assay offices are required to refuse to accept all gold known to be of Soviet origin or which on its face or as a result of investigation appears to be of Soviet origin, no matter by whom tendered." It appears to us that if a prize were offered for the government which has made the most stupid business of its dealings with Russia, the prize would go to the one located at Washington, D. C. Comment By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors EXTRAVAGANT TENDENCIES. With the signs of an approaching eruption of tower wagges and security of employment, it is time to realize the necessity for cutting out all extravagant tendencies in living. With the war rates of four dollars a day and more for women who would go out to work and one dollar an hour at least for unskilled male labor, the average worker has been able to indulge his or her taste for finery, wherein it ran to silk stockings and shirt waists to silk skirts and wrist watches. Those good times of easy work and high pay are last vanishing into the past. Those who regarded them as a harvest to be garnered and saved away for future use, were wise in their time and will profit accordingly. Those who expected them to last forever are due for an awakening to the changed conditions of economic reconstruction. The way to meet these conditions of reduced wages and a harder struggle to obtain work, is to not only stop the indulgence in extravagant habits of dress or living, but to work with increased seal in the effort to swell the product of one's labor. Efficiency in labor, with economy and thrift, in the disposition of the earnings, will come to tide the workers over the trying days of industrial reconstruction. PAPER MILLIONAIRES Every now and again the alert and industrious newspapermen who make the daily press of New York City the most fascinating novel of the times, take a turn at writing up, the progress of the Negro race. Sometimes this is done from a general view point covering the whole country, but often with special reference to the local race conditions, at present centered in Harlem. These articles during a period of thirty years or more have been characterised by a broad and friendly spirit, carried at times to the point of exaggeration in recording the material progress of the race. Through these rose colored stories has come into the newspaper world the Negro millionaire, a somewhat mythical personage, whose name and locality have varied according to the imagination of the writer, but who upon later investigation has failed to pan out the auriferous metal. An incident of the kind of evidence upon which many an innocent Negro has been lynched in the South is thus released by the Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter: A man by the name of John W. Louderville was brutally murdered by a white man who was caught in his room and had no chance to escape without causing the assassination of Mr. Louderville. The officers that a Negro had unmasked her husband while he slept and ran out of the room; one of the little girls of the Louderville family resided to the same saying that the Negro had held a pixelated picture in that while he backed out. Fortunately, before some friendless Negro had been arrested and lynched on the strength of these false statements, the real murderer returned thinking himself safe from suspicion. He was sitting in the same room with the body of his victim when the police questioned him, and he broke down and ordered his guilt. But mark the residences of the woman accomplice and child as fugitives the crime upon such unknown Negro. Talking about race rises the St. Louis Clinton path forth as follows: The "new race" in Independence, Kansas, didn't answer to very much. The last time, we are probably blaming it both white and African American, the greater part of the population of Kansas. Around Independence there are a lot of foreigners, men who Governors have just accepted from Immigration管理局. Like all foreigners, they are a lady audience, and think that they have really somebody else in this world who can catch hatch. White rents, both in East St. Louis, Chicago, Independence and Omaha. A recent magazine writer, however, in dealing with the Negroes of Marlton has gone the newspaper man one better by discovering four millionaires among this group. He also added that there were a number of others variously clashed as possessing property valued as half a million and a hundred thousand each. Plattering as this estimate may be to racial susceptibilities we fear that the writer in question was dealing with infested values. No income tax returns nor commercial agency reports can be invoked to substantiate these figures. Undoubtedly there are individuals among the race who have achieved a competency and who own valuable and income producing property in Harlem, but we doubt very much if any of those run much higher than the hundred thousand dollar mark. One church corporation holds title to property probably valued at over a million dollars, but how great is the equity above the mortgage debt is another matter. The serious part of this section of creating millionaires on paper, is that it gives rise to a false impression that does harm to the charitable and welfare institutions of the race that depend upon the outside public for a large amount of their support. The race is noted for its prompt and unfailing response to the appeal of charity, and yet the largest donation from any contributor within its ranks for a public purpose, noted within the past few years, has been five thousand dollars. This does not indicate the existence of any great individual wealth. Our friends, the writers on racial progress, should not count the millionaires before they are hatched. The Ku Klux Klan has not been able to headwink the best people of the South as to the viciousness of its purpose. This was shown by the action of various individuals and organizations among the white population of Richmond, including the clergy, Richmond Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Southern field committee of the Young Women's Christian Association and the daily press, condemning the activities of the organization. There is need for more of this sort of action on the part of the better thinking white people of the South. The tendency of the times crops out in the following suggestion made by the Columbia (S. C.) Standard: Milions of dollars are deposited by Negroes every year in the banks of Columbia, and who can't the Negroes of this city organize a bank that would receive a fair proportion of these funds? Why not, indeed? That is a question which every Negro community should put to itself and answer by decisive action. The need for a Negro tubercular hospital is emphasized by the Dallas Express in the following manner: Whatever the cause, it is a fact that in proportion to the population, the Negro death rate from tuberculosis in the state of Texas is three times that of the whites. In view of such a fact, the statement must readily be the Field Secretary of the Texas Public Health Association, on the effect that there was not a single hospital and no ambulance for Negro suburban patients in the state of Texas, but a realization to them that a meeting them by their regional ambulance, the greater portion of their others at decreasing the disease and preventing its spread. The suburban district given authority of the fact that in any movement for the abolition of the general public suppression all of its members must be included if it is to be chickens in its working. In view of the fact that the Negroes of Dallas and other places in Texas are willing to aid in the establishment of an institution to fight the disease, the health authorities of Texas seem to be pleased in their designs. They should not forget that disease cannot be contended to any one right, except because of all. If information is obtained in group groups and other facilities of the bank of presidents, it will be extremely W. CALVIN CHASE DEAD in the death of William Calvin, a editor of the Washington Bee, the great last one of its old original figures. For a long time Chase divided the honors of the Columbia as a racial landmark the late Col. Perry Carson. He forty years ago kept the Bee's of race journalism, and wrote coming and passing of many titles in the local field. The Pittsburgh Courier has walked up to the fact that crime dal are featured too promin- race press. It says: A review of our journal's Many of them respected to and long standing have given to the Board of crime, scandal and humili- practice is defended by some ground that the people want scandal, crime, and vice minded people do. Like all new converts, the new trifle swapping in its statement, the thieves, we are glad to see that besides Tua Aca are ranging them on the side of clean and continuing news service.

A sufficient degree of enlightenment sentiment must be created in community, to back up those who take such a decided stand and order before their example cone contagious. IRELAND AND THE NEGRO To the Editor of The Azc In the Philadelphia Recorder August 5th, 19, there appeared the self the following: "At a meeting of the United Irish Society in Dublin on July 10, 1914, resolution was passed without a saving voice: 'That this Association The United Irish Societies or Phi- laeonia views with alarm the pass- ing the United States' Senate of the United States at Versailles, between United States and Germany, on the one hand, and Germany, other, and hopes that the heath- tion will be maintained by the and the cause for which our lie- hurried in foreign soil, will not greaten—namely, the immediate of any reservations, national people out any reservations, be they white or yellow." In the discussion which followed of the speakers clearly emphasized the fact that the cause of the Irish Revolt was not only in Ireland and anywhere, of whatever race and that therefore it upholds the status in this country, who is strong in equal political and economic strength through the length and the distance. In the 'Irish Dress' of Ireland there appeared a short time after a beautiful tribute to Ireland, Maire Terrence McSwiney, it was written by a cultured Negro, Leslie DuPont, who was an institution for colored men.

At an appropriate period during the evening Mr. Martin made an appeal in behalf of the Martin-Scott School, in which he stated as the purpose of the management the raising of a fund for the providing of a suitable building in which the School can be housed. This is a worthy effort and the people of New York should give their liberal support on the School. A circular enclosed with the printed programs considered the following statement. "The Martin-Smith Music School, during the six years of its existence, has conclusively proven that there is a great need for an institution in the Negro colony of New York which specialize in the serious development of the most pronounced trait in the character of the colored citizen of America—his manual talent for music. Such an institution possesses unlimited possibilities ethically as well as educationally. The economic conditions of this great settlement make it impossible for a school of this kind to be self-supporting and at the same time fulfill the mission of reaching the very poor deserving children, many of whom are solely dependent on a mother who works by the day to support her family. The immediate need of the school is a suitable building which will cost $30,000." The executive board of the School is composed of William Weaver, Mimi Marrath Gibba Marshall, Dr. Richard A. Taylor, Robert Donge, Miss Ethelmbeth Van Godhilum, Ennoch Newton, Andrew M. Robinson, Dr. Alfred T. Robinson, treasurer, Mrs. Gertrude H. Martin, secretary, and D. L. Martin, Sr, director. The Victorian Concert Orchestra of Boston, organized or founded in 1906 by Charles H. Sullivan, whose financial backing has been sobly instrumental in keeping it a live and potent musical organization, is under the conductor's ship of Charences Cameron White, the well-known violinist and composer. The orchestra is now making an effort to secure sufficient financial support to enable it to function in a larger way. Musical uplift along the lines of a first-class community orchestra is not a far-fetched proposition but one that has alluring possibilities. I will be glad to note the success attained by Mr. White and his musical confederates in the Hub City.

Mayfield, Henry Allen and Mr. Sessom, are planning for a concert on January 20. The Scouts are making quite a reputation for returning lost articles found about the church. An honor roll consisting of all those who have paid their dues in full for the year will be printed on this week's calendar. A long list is being made out. Mrs. Ellen Ford-Brooks, who is to sing Sunday morning, is to train the Boy Scouts in singing once a week. Fleet Street Church, Brooklyn. Dr. Brown preached a sermon appropriate to the beginning of the New Year and a review of the old on "Watch Night." His subject was "Things behind and before." Old Fleet street was filled to its utmost capacity and throng were turned away unable to scence even standing space. The entire services were conducted by the pastor. The emerging out of the old year into the new was marked by total darkness for thirty-seconds before the old year had passed out, and the lights were flashed on as the new year came in. The members and friends caused every doubt as to the popularity of Dr. Brown and his administration to be dispelled when they gave him as a New Year donation through the trustees and stewards a purse of $235, the largest amount ever given in this church to an apostle on a like occasion. Five persons were received into the church membership. The Girl Scouts were At Home in the church from 6 to 9.30 p.m. to all the girls of teen-age. A larger number encouraged the young people with their presence and refreshments were served. "To Near Shorn" was the theme Sunday morning to the larger audience that greeted Dr. Brown. The pastor told the story in simplicity but the effect was telling in that twenty-three persons were added to the church. At 1 p.m. the Sunday School room was inadequate to accommodate the large session and class rooms had to be formed in various parts of the church. Dr. Brown addressed the school on the "Brotherhood of Christ." Miss Katherine Johnson followed in a fitting talk on practical religion. John D. Nixon superintendent of Briagu St. A. M. E. Sunday School was the guest of the school at this hour. The Christian Endeavor Service at 6:30 was largely attended and teemed with many helpful suggestions for the New Year. At 7:45 the pastor preached from the subject. "The perfect knowledge of God through Christ." It was at this service that the most telling effect of the holiday services was given its unqualified approval when a large number united with the church. The collection on Sunday evening was donated to the four college students of Fleet street Church, namely, the Rev. Mr. Pope; theology, Shaw University, Maleigh, N. C.; Rev. Mr. Kirtin, theology, Livingstone College, Sallibury, N. C.; Miss Peagle Edwards and Miss Perkins, Henderson, literary, Livingstone College. The sign as expressed by the pastor and trustees cooperating with him is to encourage the young people to continue in school until they are prepared from an educational viewpoint to fill their place in life.

In front of my heart, on the edge of the lake as if rousing up of a stupefy grim and gloomy-looking, Chilien Castle (Sherryng) a once famous prison immortalized by Syrion in this old Cairo, now called the show places in Switzerland, the chains, manacles and instruments of torture are still shown to visitors. The prisoner, whose cause by Syrion opposed, was one Bonivard, a Swiss prisoner of State, who lived twenty years after his release. A few minutes walk, going round the lake and we come to Hotel Byrnn where the poet lived and wrote. Another fifteen minutes walk and we come to the town of Villeneuve where England's ill-fated Lord Kitchener was a military student. At a tangent from this point, going south, and we enter the St. Gothard's burned, the longest tunnel in the world, 9 1-2 miles long; the access to Italy from Switzerland, coming out at Milan. Down this route I went two weeks ago on a visit to Naples, where I saw in the month of December, oranges and lemons growing out of doors, and dangling over ones' head as one walked along the street.

This venerable city, hoary with centuries of age and renown, illustrates in all the arts of peace and in the uplift of the human race. For, was not this the home of the quasi-protestant Pope John Calvin? And, did not he here give the world his predestination dogmas, that puzzle and divide the minds of men even this day? 24 The monk of Geneva, one of that famous refugee from France, Voltaire, the Shakespeare and philosopher of France, who scoffed at all forms of snobbery and pretense, and called the Nations of Europe to the War of Common sense?

And now has not the latest prodigy of the brain of man to avoid war, the League of Nations, made its permanent abode in the peaceful city of Geneva? The League at this moment is actually in session.

Colorphobia a Laughing-Stock Americas colorphilia is the laughing-stock of all Europe. The Americans will have to revise their color prejudice and climb down gracefully. It is only sham, hypocritical pretension at best. They can quickly discard it when it suits them. They are frequently ashamed to throw it away.

C.'S ON WESTERN Jack Johnson's Come-Back Possibilities Dissected Still Charged, as Possible Fighting Machine, but Experts Think He Will Have Small Chance Against Dempsey Atchison, Kansas—When Jack Johnson made his first appearance in the prize ring at the Lincolnport federal pyramidary recently, three reporters of the Atchison Daily Globe were ringside guests of Deputy Warden Fletcher. An interesting account of the bouts and their opinion as to Jack Johnson's ability to come back, was published in the Globe. The reporters looked upon Jack as a dangerous man but, along with many other sports observers, they decry his ability to stand up against Jack Dempey, giving as a reason therefore his 42 years of age, which have brought to him muscles ingrained with fat. They declare him, however, to still be a formidable fighting machine. CAN JACK JOHNSON COME BACK? Three Globe reporters, accompanied by several other Atchison men, yesterday drove to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, where they were the ring-side guest of deputy warden L.J.J. Fletcher at a boxing exhibition in which Jack Johnson made his first appearance in the roped arena since his return from exile. The exhibition, which was interesting but not in the least exciting, was witnessed by the 1,000 prisoners, and a few newspapermen and several hundred invited guests from the outside. Members of the Atchison party were entertained at a turkey dinner at the home of Deputy Warden Fletcher. This invitation was because of his former association with Wilber Hawk, of the Globe, under whom he worked at the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. four years, ending 1914. Mr. Hawk was deputy warden at the Atlanta Penitentiary and at that time Mr. Fletcher was record clerk. The Atkinson men who saw the ex-champion in action yesterday are of the opinion that while he is still a formidable fighting machine he wouldn't last more than a fraction of a round if he was turned into a ring with Jack Dempsey. Forty-two years of age with many of his muscles ingrained with tissues of fat, it is plainly evident even to inexperienced eyes that Johnson has slowed up. He is much larger around the girth than he should be, he breathes deep and through his teeth from slight exertions and when he moves about he pulls his feet after him like they were weight down with mud. Johnson is still a powerful and dangerous man but his championship class has faded away. He fought, or rather played through ten rounds at the penitentiary yesterday. His first was a six round to with a Negro by the name of Owen from Chicago Owen in a ponderous bulk of fat and Johnson is supposed to have scored a knockout in the fourth or fifth round. : Owen was on the floor most of the time, falling down whenever Johnson showed him over. He was as a baby in the hands of the ex-champion and acted like a man who was afraid Johnson might forget himself and unwork a blow that would hurt. Johnson slapped him about but didn't unloosen. The second bout was one of four rounds with Tupela Jack Johnson who has fought in Archieon Johnson made house-play of this bout and hutted Topeka. Jack about the ring like a cat some times aguess itself with a mouse. He entertained himself and the crowd by ducking wild swings and boxing the tails of his opponent. Johnson could have annihilated either Owen or Topeka Jack with one swing. Johnson weighs 215 pounds. Officials at the prison like Johnson and he is having a soft time of it. He works as an orderly in the hospital and he has two hours off each day for training. This two hours he devotes to track work, punching the bag and boxing. He says, he is in much better condition now than he was when he fought Willard. In his conversation with the prison guards he intimates he was paid to lay down to Willard. He says he intends to step from the prison gate to the prize ring and that he will fight as fast as he is matched as he is determined to retrieve his fortunes. At one time Johnson was worth more than $300,000 and he has wasted it all. It is not likely that he will get another crack at the championship; it is generally understood Dempsey has drawn the color line. Then again it is probable Johnson has lost his stuff, sporting experts say that if he ever meets Harry Wilk, the young sensational colored heavyweight, he will be knocked cold. The exhibition was staged in the hall grounds which is inside the prison wall. The boxers performed on a raised stage and those who occupied the ringside seats were the invited guards, prison guards and trustees. The rank and file of the prisoners occupied the bleachers in the back ground. Besides, Johnson there were four other bouts between prisoners and two of them were rattling good ones with clean knockouts. One of the bouts was poor and a wag among the convicts drew the laugh of the crowd by shouting: "Oh, come on and give us our money's worth." Owen, the colored man who was man handled by Jack Johnson in his exhibition, came all the way from Chicago for the bout. His expenses were paid by the government; it came out of the entertainment fund. Owen was the first to climb in the arena and a second who was with him told the crowd that contributions would be appreciated. Spectators began to throw dimes and quarters and crew deliver upon the platform and there was, much more, mounted change when the canvass covering when Johnson stopped up. This displayed him. "That's cheap, that's cheap," he complained to the referee. "Make them stop it." But the more he complained the more alter was thrown upon the platform; spectators seemed to delight in tasing Johnson who became angered. The seconds must have picked up between $60 and $80 in small silver. In the preliminaries of the State amateur boxing championships held at Madison Square. Garden on Monday night, January 3, the colored boys made a good showing. Only one of them, Albert Sylvester, of the St. Christopher Club, failed to come through, and he was the victim of one of the clearest punchers shown during the evening, a boy from Buffalo, Eddie McGuire. The bout went three rounds, to a judges' decision. Benny Ponteau, of St. Christopher Club, the rugged fellow who went to Anwerp for the Olympics, scored a knockout over Edward Leventhan, unattached, in one round. His example was followed by James R. Brown, of Salem-Crescent Club, who also put his opponent—Frank Varano, of Bronxdale A. C.—to sleep in one round. These two are in the 135-pound class. In the 13-pound class, Edmund Riley, of St Christopher Club, won a judges' decision after three rounds of clever fighting against James Slattery of Buffalo. Keen judges who viewed the evening's battles expect to see the 135-pound championships narrowed down to a night between the present holder, Archie Walker, of the Pastime A.C. who defeated his preliminary opponent in one sharp and hard-fought round, Eddie McGuire, of Buffalo, who won from Sylvester, and Benjamin Ponteau, the clever St. C. representative, who would now be champion, according to the belief of his friends, if he had been given a square deal during the previous championship battles. In the semifinals on Tuesday night, Ben Pontauer received what appeared to be a tough deal. He was matched with Archie Walker, the 135-pound state champion, and to the audience, the reporters and one of the judges. Beanie put it over the state champ. But the other judge disagreed and the decision was left to the referee who gave the light to Walker. Jack Masters, sporting writer for the New York Tribune, had the following to say concerning the bout: "Much dissatisfaction was found with the work of the judges and referees, but on the whole the show was worth considerably more that was charged" at the gate. "Archie Walker, the 135-pound state champion, advanced to the final when he received the referee's decision over Ben Ponteau, of St. Christopher's Club, metropolitan title holder. It looked like the Negro's fight, but the judges disagreed. Referee Eddie Fortes awarded the verdict to Walker. At this point the house was in high disorder, and choreog LAFAYETTE THEATRE 7th AVENUE & 13th STREET TELEPHONE MORNINGSIDE 1811 Week Commencing Monday Jan. 10.

Post-War Labor: No Addiction of Reduces Jobs in Industries Investigation by Competent Agents Show That Negro Workers Have Proven Satisfactory and are Holding Their Jobs That the process of after-war reinforcement is well under way is evident by the return to normal in food prices, accompanied by an upward in normal in the industrial field. Factories, Milk and shampoos and other retraining wages are being reduced either directly or by increased hours, and in many cases forces are being greatly reduced to meet the situation in orders for goods. Many factories are using this exception to eliminate the units, the jobs and the unskilled. The situation was not unexpected and is an anticipation months ago social workers interested in community industrial began advising workers to hold on to their jobs. The industry has been in a mining condition in much the same way as the white worker. The industrial departments of the branches of the Urban League in working on the station have been holding shop inventories and public meetings for the purpose ofuring standings on the job among the Negro work- 10 Jobs for 100 Applicants. The Boston league reported in the first three weeks in November 100 applicants for ten possible jobs. The Chicago league has been issuing baskets on labor conditions through the daily papers and warning workers to be regular and diligent. The Chicago league bullets for Newark, N.J., appear 18 times. 127 placements out of 163 applicants. The same kind of report was from Newark, Detroit, St. Philadelphia, Columbus and other educational centers. The National Urban League issues the following statement regarding unarmament: "The peculiar danger in the situation is the Negro worker as seen in the present static action of the authority in Bailo, N. Y., in ordering Negroes of the city as rapidly as they are unarmed and as seen in the attentive by the Citizen Negroes in Jenny Garth. Both an imperative of a tendency to break the most helpless group of women, protecting themselves before the presence of a disproportionate burden in crime, and an imperative of both cases, however, caused by League agents any intention to discriminate against Negroes.

ANDREW HOSPITAL CLASSIFIED AS GRAD (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — The John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital of Tuskegee Institute is now classified as a Grade A Hospital. This classification was in the early meeting of the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association and was announced recently. The action of this body places the Tuskegee Institute hospital as one of the three grade A institutions in the State of Alabama and the only one operated by Negroes South of Washington D. C. There are only four grade A hospitals operated by Negroes in the United States. Douglas Hospital, Philadelphia Pa. Preceded Washington D. C.; the wild General Hospital, Kansas City, Mo.; and the John A. Andrew Memorial, Tuskegee Institute.

The credit for the successful work of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital and its allied branches at Tuskegee Institute is due very largely to the efforts of Dr. A. K.

The year just closed has been, in many respects, one of achievement and progress for our Country and our Race. We have tried to contribute what we could towards lifting the burdens of others and retain our position as an Old Line Company. With the turning point behind us, we are facing the New Year with every hope of success. The new conditions coming so suddenly will have a tendency to discourage those who are timid. We wish to sound this note of warning to our people everywhere. Lose all timidity. Be of good cheer and press on. These new conditions are the passing of an inflated period and the gradual return to normal conditions. We strongly urge upon our people the necessity of Systematic Saving, that they may not be affected by the sudden change. A Life Insurance Policy in an Old Line Company is the most wonderful saving account in the world—BECAUSE—it enables the Policy-holder to save IMMEDIATELY what he or she intends to save if they live. An Untimely Death Does Not Affect a Saving Account Like This. The EDUCATION of our children must not be neglected because we die. The MORTGAGE on the home must not be foreclosed because we die. The STANDARD of living which we establish for our families must not be lowered because we die. The AMBITION of the young son or daughter must not be stifled because we die. Start another saving account in an Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and provision is made from that minute to carry through your cherished ideal in case of an untimely death. Standard Life Insurance Company, in grateful appreciation of the confidence and support it has received from the public in the past, ask for a continuance of that confidence and extends to everyone sincere wishes for a prosperous year.
