An interesting sidlight on the growth of Negro business on Seventh avenue is the fact that in 1921 there are only four more shops on Lenox avenue operated by Negroes, than there are on Seventh avenue. Whereas, in 1916 there were nearly twice as many places of business operated by Negroes on Lenox avenue as there were on Seventh avenue. At that time the bulk of Negro business was centered on Lenox avenue and on 135th street. Although a large part of Negro business still on the two streets, there has been a faster growth of Negro business on Seventh avenue than on any other street in Harlem. The business house on this street are among the largest and most prosperous of the race. The only colored hardware store in the city, operated by the Knights Developing & Trading company at 2509 Seventh avenue. This organization was incorporated for $50,000 in June, 1919. The company now has 300 stockholders, and owns the apartment house at 2509 Seventh avenue. The officers of the company are, E. D. Gibbs, president and general manager; J. B. Smith, vice president; L. B. Ecklo, secretary; and S. E. Bald, treasurer. The company's real estate is valued at $142,000, and the stock of the hardware store is valued at $10,000. The company employs six men in clerical positions, and is planning to enter the field as importers and exporters in the next few months.

C.—These are times when justifying their existence is the prince The Inter-Colonial Ca Another very successful retail merchant business is the Inner-Colonial Supply Company. The company was incorporated for $20,000 two years ago, with the following board of directors: Thomas W. Daly, president; George James, secretary and general manager; and John R. Piper, treasurer. They now own and operate three retail stores on Seventh Avenue. The large grocery store at the corner of 142nd street and Seventh avenue has been successfully operated to this firm for the past year admits a hall. This store is under the management of Alfred Athermion, carrier of large stock of staple and flour.

Bides having a first class confection department, this store also manufactures its own ice cream, which is sold in wholesale and retail quantities. The Inner-Colonial Supply company has taken title to the property, valued at $65,640, in which the ice cream parlor is leased. It also operates delicatessons store, located near 129th street on Seventh avenue, under the management of Wilfred Sidney. The stock of three stores is valued at over $20,000 and the company employees five other in mechanical capacities. Company has general interest in export business with the West Indies. Their success as retail stores has been largely due to the excellent location of the three stores, and to the scientific methods used in managing the affairs of the corporation. Five and Ten Cent Storez The record of the A. I. Hart 5, 10 and 11 store has also been one of achievement. In September, 1917, Mr Hart with a capital of $700, purchased a stock of goods, and opened a store of 11th street and Seventh avenue a private business. The idea of this store was similar to that of the 12th stores; viz. to purchase in large quantities and sell in small quantities with a small margin of profit. The success of Mr. Hart's business has been similar to that of the W. W. Hart store by February 1918, when the business had grown to large. A small store was opened between 13th and 13rd streets on Seventh avenue. In August 1920 the company was re-established and incorporated under the law of the state for $25,000. This step was in order that more capital could be put into the concern for the construction. The director* of the corporation are: A. I. Hart, president and general manager; Wm. T. McLean, secretary; and Miss J. McPherson, treasurer. The company employs both men and women in clerical positions. The two stores of this company, all the same variety of goods that can be bought at the 15 and 10 stores of the city and have been built up such a business that the present stock and good will of the firm is said to be worth $2,000.

Nock has the proprietor, has been in business in the city for the past six years, and the present store has only been opened for the past year.

With the advent of Col. Arthur Little, the new commanding officer of the 15th regiment, New York Guard, there has come a renewal of activities in regard to the securing of a regimental armory for that military unit.

"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final testing place of those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have conceived it, for above our poor power to add or distract. The world will still suffer, but it can never forget what they have done. It is for us the living, rather, to be the dedicated, unmuffined work which they fought for, to be the highly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve, that these dead, shall not have died in vain—and that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." 15th Regiment Is Taking Armory Board Approx.

At a meeting of the Armory Board, held on February 3rd, a communication was received from Col. Little, request- ing such activity as may be necessary to revivify all of the presentations and actions pertaining to the selection of a site and the erection of an armory for the 15th infantry, and submitting a plan to meet an emergent situation for a constructive adjustment of a temporary situation to provide quarters for the 15th Infantry, pending the time which must necessarily intervene between the present day and the opening of an armory. In this communication Col. Little set forth the fact that premises used as administration offices, or the 15th are inadequate and inappropriate for such purposes. The loan, at a high rental cost, expires April 30th, 1922, and informal notice has been served upon the Armory Board of a 50 per cent increase.—from $1,200 to $1,500 per annum.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS. THE PROBLEM "The real problem which this nation has to solve, and the solution of which it will have to answer for in history, were better described as the white man's problem. . . . What is called the Negro problem is swallowed up by the Caucasian problem. The question is whether the white man can caregiver be elevated to that plane of justice, humanity and Christian civilization which will permit Negroes, Indians and Chimans, and other darker colored races to enjoy an equal chance in the race of life. The Christian who can be made Christians as whether white people can be made Christians. The Negro is few, the white man is strong. In the problem of the Negro's future, the white man is therefore the chief factor. He is the potter; the Negro is the Clay. It is for him to say whether the Negro shall become a well-rounded, symmetrical man, or be cramped, deformed and dwarfed. A plant deprived of warmth, moisture and sunlight cannot live and grow. And a people deprived of the means of an honest life must withstand. All I have to do is fair play. Give him this and I have no fear for his future. The great mass of the colored people in this country are now, and must continue to be in, the South; and there, if anywhere, they must survive or perish. "It is able to suppose these people can make any larve degree of progress in morals, religion and material conditions, while their persons are unprotected, their rights unsecured, their labor defrauded, and they are kept only a little beyond the starving point"—FREDERICK DOUGLASS IN ARTICLE IN BOSTON MAGAZINE, August, 1886.

Ulterior Purpose of Klan Shown by Laws Text of Original Constitution and By-Laws in Force 1866-1870 Held Power of Death Revived Order Declares It Has Adopted "All Usages" of Original Order—Southern Newspapers Condemn the Klan. In the expose of the "ABC of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," published in recent issues of THE NEW YORK ACE, it was shown by the Order's documents that the revived Klan had not only adopted the name, but also "all official titles, mannerisms, usages . . . together with designs of paraphernalia; regalia, flags, banners, emblems, symbols or other motifs and things prescribed or previously used by or under authority of the Ku Klux Klan." In the light of this declaration the text of the Constitution and By-Laws which were adopted and enforced by the Klan in South Carolina is of especial interest. This is given in full herewith, with especial attention called to certain classes which stamp the Order as intending lawlessness and pathway even to the extent of committing murder. Article 6, section 1, precludes DEATH as the penalty for any member betraying matters of the Order, and in the obligation or oath taken by all members of the Klan, it is provided that "Any member divulging or causing to be demilled any of the obligation "shall meet with the fearful penalty and treason's doom, which is DEATH! DEATH DEATH!!!" Another section names "a pistol" as the first birth to be procured by the new member, which weapon, together with a "Kn Klux gown and signal instrument," comprises the equipment of the Klan member. And it is clearly specified as one of the important duties of the Cyclops (evidently the commanding officer) that he shall "inspect the arms and dress of each member on special occasions," the plainly apparent meaning being that the Cyclops should be certain that all arms were in good working order when the Klan started out on its missions of "setting things straight." The Constitution and By-Laws read as follows: 6. Are any of the order sick of suf- CONSTITUTION Of the Ku Klux Klan of the State of South Carolina. Article 1. This organization shall be known as the——Order, No.—— of the Ku Klux Klux of the State of South Carolina. Article 2.

Sec. 2. The S. shall keep a record of the proceedings of the order; write communications, notify other Klux when their assistance is needed, give notice when any member has to serve the penalty for violating his oath; see that all books, papers, or other property belonging to this office are placed beyond reach of any one but members of the order. He shall perform such other duties as may be required of him by the cyclops. Article 4. Section 1. No person shall be imputed into the order who does not maintain a good moral character or which is in any way incapacitated to discharge the duties of a Ku Klux. Sec. 2.

Southern Papers Speaking Out. Extended comment on the above set of laws, which were the official rules of the ominous Ku Klu, is unnecessary. The sentences initialized show that this secret body arraigned to itself the power of LIFE and DEATH, not over those outsiders who incurred its wrath, but even against its own members, who did not live up to the exertion of the Klan law, and imperial Terrorist authorities placed upon members of the prisoner, as denominated in the above rules—could be made easy to the great actual cycle of Nebraska not to the local or state authorities, and not even to the President of the United States. To show the attitude of the southern white press toward the retreades one of this sinister secret society at this time, two articles from leading southern white newspapers are quoted in full. One from, the Charleston News & Courier, the most powerful and influential daily in the State of South Carolina, the state in which was located the Klippe powerhouse by the above laws, declares that there is, in this country, "No room for such an editor." The other is taken from the Columbus, (Ga.) Enquirer, son, writing "7he Simple truth of it" and incidentally quoting expression, condemnation of the organization from numerous southern newspapers papers published in Georgia, the home of the new Klan, and in Alabama, Florida, Virginia Tennessee. Three articles follow: NO ROOM FOR SUCH AN ORDER. (From Ware and Courier Charleston, S.C.) The revival of the Ku Klux Klan, which has now invaded South Carolina, is one of the most coldish and danger- ous movements in years. If it had not made such headway it might have been passed over as simply a silly perfor- mance, but it is making headway and it must be taken seriously. We have no idea how many members the orga- lization now has. Its chief official was quoted the other day as claiming 30 (60) members north of Mason and Dixon's line. Until the past few days no publicity has been given to any effort to form branches of the order in this State but at Spartanburg a few night ago one of the organizers of the Klan addressed a meeting which "filled the court-house to overflowing." Apparently this meeting had not been advertised in any way and the organizer himself was surprised, so he claimed, when he learned that the crowd was assembling because of reports which has gotten out that it had been called. The organization of Klan is not done at mass meetings, but is carried out as quickly as possible, only picked men who have accepted invitations to become members of the organization being advised as to the time and place where the organization is to be made. Both the Spartanburg papers are carefully opposing the formation of a branch of the Ku Klux Klan that might city and at the recent meeting in the courthouse Dr. Frank Lans. Superintendent of Schools in Spartanburg, asked the organizer what possible excuse there could be for secrecy. Any order that claimed to be law-sabbing and to claim for law and order. However, the paths of the spartanburg and the order of Stormy John closely with the order of Stormy John, necessitating to the Spartanburg House, attended the organizer's explanation of the principle and purposes for which the Ku Klux Klan is being revived. It is easy money to understand the sentiment which is felt for the old Ku Klux Klan in many parts of the South. That sentiment was loved and cemented by the presentation to which many of the last white men in the South were subjected in the early seventies. The Ku Klux Klan held in this State were a traxitory on justice and the whole course of the Washington Government in this matter was a magic trick. But the thing which is not easy to understand why anybody should have to receive the Ku Klux Klan now. Only the greatest importance of our part which is so essential should have allowed this movement to make progress. The Ku Klux Klan was organized originally to meet the desperate condition of affairs. Its activities extended over almost only two or five years, between 1866 and 1872. It would never have been organized except that conditions in the South were utterly abnormal with the government in the hands of unsuspicious gangsters from other sections who were taking the heads of the Negroes newly liberated, with all sorts of foolish ideas and stirring them up to dangerous practices. The leaders of the Government at Washington were the Negroes to whom white men of the South were to humiliate and punish. Yet even under these conditions the intelligence leadership of the South quickly recognized that such an organization as the Ku Klux Klan could not be allowed to continue in existence. It was this fact which led to the suppression of the Ku Klux Klan originally and it is post comprehension why any man who really has the interests of the South at heart and who has any knowledge at all of the true history of the old Ku Klux Klan can join now in furthering the present Ku Klux Klan movement. What brought the Ku Klux Klan into disrepute originally was that it soon got beyond control of its responsible leaders and was used as a cloak for the execution of acts of outrage by individuals and groups of individual. For which no possible excuse could be offered. That is what is likely to happen in the case of any extra-legal organization which seeks to arrogate to itself powers which can safely be entrusted only to the law and which operate under the cover of secrecy instead of in the broad light of day. The Florida Times Union, of Jack noville, said recently that however dauntable the principles of the present Ku Klux Klan might be, nevertheless the fact was that such an or- HE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 organization cannot fail to do great harm because its existence furnishes "a should for miscreant." "No one can deny that lawlessness has increased since the organization of the Ku Klux Klan." Since the Jacksonville paper which declares that no matter what the intentions of the organization may be nevertheless as a practical matter what it does is to provide "an object of suspicion" the existence of which in a community encourages evil characters to acts which they would hesitate otherwise to undertake. There is no question that this movement for the revival of the Ku Khuxlan has done and is doing grave injury to the South. The unfortunate is that it is one of those movements which it is difficult to combat. The Spartamburg Journal suggests that if branches of the Ku Khuxlan Klan are to be formed in South Carolina, some action should be taken which would "require the setting forth in clear terms the purposes of the organization, the terms of membership, the ceremonies of mitigation, the pledges taken by the members and require the filing with the clerk of court in every county in which a Klan shall be formed the names of the members of the Klan." If something of that sort is feasible probably the adduction of the Journal's suggestion would bring the career of the Klan to a speedy close. Indeed, if it be possible to provide in some way that the names of all persons accepting membership in an order of this kind shall be available to the public, that of itself would in all likelihood be all that was necessary, so that not practicable? THE SIMPLE TRUTH OF IT. (From Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun) Already, it seems, the Enquirer-Sun's statutes on the so-called modern Ku Klux Klan a sinister secret order which if permitted to flourish and gain ascendancy in the South, is going to do more to provide unrest and disorder than any movement of late years—has drawn the tree of those individuals and newspapers that are either in sympathy with the order or ignorant of its real aims, as well as the danger that lurks in its masked and hooded activities. So much, then, for the silly imputation that we are, what we are not, or that we have any motive or purpose to serve in attacking this sinister and miscous order, other than the high purpose of serving the best interests of the public as a whole; and to that end, conditioning with all the force of which we are capable, every movement—particularly a secret and masked organization—that seeks to play on the passions and prejudices of the people, and disturb their peaceful relations, whether white or black, Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant. And; it there be those who cannot comprehend this high and patriotic motive, then they only excite our pity, while if there be those who will not understand it, then they merely provoke our sympathetic But, in either event, we find some satisfaction in the fact, that other leading Southern newspapers—happily removal from, or indifferent to, provincial prejudices and personal and political animosities—have been quite as outspoken as the Enquirer Sun in their condemnation of this minister and dangerous modern Ku Klux Klan movement; such, for instance, as The Birmingham (Ala) News, which says, "However landable its aims, the verdict is unanimous that there is no place in present day America for the 'invisible empire' of the reconstruction period.* * The movement as outlined by its promoters receives neither welcome nor encouragement in editorial columns." and The Lynchburg, (Va.) *Netz*, which adds: "It is the inference that the government stands in need of a national secret order or society in order to enable it to function efficiently, that it attacke by most writers. * * * * * It is name is freighted with sinister meaning, and therefore, for the sake of race tranquility, it should not be revived." And also: The Knoxville (Tenn.) *Sentinel*, which regards as "foolishness" this talk of "reveying the ghostly and griddy white-shaded phantoms of the past." And, again: The Savannah (Ga.) *Press*, which states, that "to try to organize a mysterious body of night-riders and hooded deaths now, in the name of an organization that flourished once when there was a genuine need for it, to take advantage of the people." And still another Georgia paper. The Cordale Dispatch, which is physically of the opinion that the "terrible memories" of the Ku Klux Klan of the sixties is "being found" in the use of its name, by the present organization, which is correctly says, "in only a secret order with a far different application from that which prevailed during the reconstruction period." And this, too, from the always same and sound Dalton (Ga.) Citizen, which says: "We can see no good that ... Ku Klux Klan can do in this country, even if it is fraternal in its operation. The old Ku Klux Klan served a good purpose in its day, but that day for such an organization is no longer here. It suggests night riding and night riding suggests lawlessness. And the Lord Knows we have enough of the latter, without doing anything to stimulate it." And, then, to step again across state lines, into Florida—we have already quoted from representative newspapers of Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia—we find the Jacksonville Times Union saying: "No one can deny that lawlessness has increased since the organization of the order. The white men of the South are in control of affairs, and no one opposes, it is absolutely senseless to the passions that have been buried and lamented for years worse was ever done for the South that was done when this order with the old name and the old signs was re-established without the existence of any conditions to justify it." It will be noted it at the Bquirer-Sun has been careful not to quote from "certain Northern newspapers, that know little and suspect a lot about the South and its people"—as the American Times Recorder is pleased to designate such national journals as the New York Times, New York Herald, New York Tribune, others whose views and whose services a.e. national, not sectional—but only newspapers of the South, that do know something about the South, and knowing, dare raise their voices, at all times, in defense of its highest traditions and interests. 15 DRECT TAMKOW TAKING TANGIBLE SHAPE (Continued From First Page) car states that the direct saving in money is a small portion of the economy to be effected by this proposed suggestion. be effected by this proposed suggestion. Primary advantages to be derived from the occurring of the property referred to include more orderly and efficient conduct of a segmental business, an officers' conference room, and rooms for the officers to save living and convenient trips between business places, homes and armory, an adequate supply base and store rooms for the supply department, suitable quarters for the medical department and headquarters for the Women's Auxiliary. In addition, temporary quarters can be arranged for the Brooklyn companies. Formation is given to the effect that plans in process of development for benefit of the regiment are many and varied. A medical supply service for men of the regiment and their families at a greatly reduced cost, under supervision of Dr. John Grimley, directing surgeon of Columbia Hospital, who is major surgeon of the 15th, (without pay), assisted by a corps of assistant surgeons, all of whom, are colored, welfare burzaes along the lines of employment, agencies, reliefs from distress, an exchange for women's work, and eventually a cooperative store along army post lines, are some of the plants referred to. Welfare of Regiment. Lieutenant-Colonel George F. Hinton, is morale officer of the regiment. He served with the Old 15th in France, ranking as a captain, and is now attached to the new 15th as an auxiliary officer, volunteering his service and serving without pay. Through the cooperation of the Federal Vocational Board, Col. Little states that he has procured without commission office for the morale officer in 43rd street, near Fifth avenue, where members of the Old 15th (369th) may obtain without undue delay everything they are entitled to by way of pension money, vocational training, Victory Medal awards, and war risk insurance adjustments. Col. Little says in his communication that "These are only a few of the developments in preparation for the benefit of the regiment outside of the lines of activities ordinarily associated in the public mind with a military organization. While some of these plans may sound like philanthropy, it is my desire that no mistake be made in appraising them assuch. The welfare movements and benefits contemplated for men of the 15th regiment, while it is hoped that they will serve as practical benefits in the fight against the high cost of living and for the mental peace and physical comfort of the families of the men, still represent nothing more nor less than a practical interpretation of human appeal, with the view, first, to instilting a desire for service in the National Guard by way of enlistment; and second, to requiring of that service an attendance of such a percentage as will admit of the adequate training of the regiment, so as to make of it an asset to the city and to the state, instead of a liability, as it is today, and has been for many months." Armory Board Takes Action. Mayor Hyllan presided at the meeting of the Armory Board, coming from a pick bed, it is reported, to keep a promise made to Col. Little in connection with the 15th Industry symposium project. STRAINET YOUR HAIR THE NEW YORK TIMES AUGUST 19, 1969 THE NEW YORK TIMES AUGUST 19, 1969 THE NEW YORK TIMES AUGUST 19, 1969 Col Little's commendation on was endorsed and approved by Mayor Hylan President of the Board of Aldermen K. H. LaGuardia, Col. Wells, acting commander of the first brigade, and Gen. Robb, commander of the second brigade. Mayor Hylan declared Col. Little's plan to be the first constructive measure ever offered the Board by a Guard officer. The Armory Board selected a committee, consisting of President LaGuardia and Col. Elmore F. Austi, commanding 8th Coast, Defence, Command, to select a site and prepare plans and sketches of the proposed armory and report at the March meeting of the Board. The committee came to Harlem on Tuesday of this week and inspected all available sites. The preliminary plans will be placed at once in the hands of an architect of this city who is a specialist in armory construction. In order to provide for the various features of welfare service as indicated by Col. Little it is thought the armory building will depart somewhat from the ordinary style of military quarter; the usual turreted castle effects especially to be eliminated. It will be an imposing structure, according to plans, covering a late, area, built for utility and with special facilities, for accommodating the various interests to be connected with this military establishment. Alderman Charles H. Roberts of the 30th district was an interested spectator at the board meeting and afterwards expressed to Co. Little his personal endorsement and pledge to assist officially in every way possible to carrying forward the project to success. RALEIGH. N. C. Raleigh, N.

"I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, the their sacrifices be blood on the battlefield, the republic have entitled to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—(Senator Harding at Marion, Ohio, July 22). This utterance by the President-elect should be sufficient answer to those carpeting the press as are inclined to question the disposition of the coming Administration to give a square deal in the political recognition of all elements of American citizenship. THE ONLY REMEDY. The only remedy possible to relieve the ugly situation growing out of the reflections cast upon the work of the 10th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, through the position maintained by its Executive Secretary, is the immediate separation of that official from any connection with the institution. Friends and well-wishers of the organization, among whom Tata Ace is one have sought to prevent the situation from reaching such tension, but in vain. The editor of this paper sought to reason and demonstrate with Mr. Taylor against the relationship in question. Expostulation and remonstrance as to the harmful effect that his conduct was having upon the institution have been met with indifference and a definite refusal to change the relations that have given rise to criticism and censure. The position taken by the secretary was in effect as follows: That the Committee of Management knew of this relationship and felt that it was not detrimental to the association; that he felt free to associate with whom he wished, and intended to continue to do so. Despite these assertions, when the hypothetical question was put up to him as involving the relations of some other married man with a young unmarried woman, presumably his daughter, the secretary admitted that he would not permit such a relationship to continue. Nevertheless, in spite of this admission, he persists in pursuing the relations that have brought such a flood of condemnation from the outside public. The futility of personal appeals to the conscience and sense of moral responsibility have so far proved fruitless, although they have been made by personal friends and others interested in the work. The efficiency and ability of the present secretary have long been recognized by those familiar with the work and have rendered them loath to adopt rigorous measures in dealing with the situation. But a point has been reached where all personal considerations must be subordinated to the one issue of the welfare of the work. The merits of the institution have already suffered injury. Its future must not be jeopardized by any personal considerations. The resignation or removal of the secretary is not the only solution of the situation. BUSINESS GROWTH IN HARLEM A careful survey of business conditions among the colored people of Harlem has been started by a representative of this paper, in order to show the gain and losses since a previous survey made in 1916. The results of the investigation, to far published, show a healthy increase in business enterprises conducted by members of the race. This was especially marked in the Seventh avenue section, lying between 126th and 147th streets. In this territory the number of business places had increased from 85 per cent to 37 per cent, making the number of enterprises controlled by Negroes 68 out of a total of 223. This survey will be continued to cover other sections of Harlem, where it is hoped that the showing will be equally satisfactory and encouraging. The results, already published indicate a great variety in the kind of business produced. The group already mentioned included two cigar manufactures, twelve real estate concerns, two retail stores, four bakeries and lunch shops and one fish market. Besides there were six billiard parks, five wineeries, one dental laboratory nursery shops, a business school, three employment schools, five fishing shops, one dentist laboratory and school, five craft making establishments, nine bakehouses, two five mile courses, three primary schools, three secondary schools. Other places in the district were two music shops, four newspaper, and tobacco stands, one dollsastation store, two theatres, three undertakers, two plano studios, one messenger service, two shop repairing shops and a hardware store. That is a pretty well diversified list of establishments catering to the essential needs, as well as the non-essential luxuries of the community. While a number of these businesses have been long established and have apparently passed the experimental stage, a large number have been opened within the past two years. How long they will continue depends largely on the need for the service they offer and the degree of efficiency with which it is supplied. The wideawake business man, or woman for that matter, must make a constant study of the details of his business and the wants of his customers. If he is a grocery who has been getting nine cents a pound for his sugar, and his competitor on the same block cuts the price to seven and a half cents, he must be able to devise a way to meet that cut and prevent his customers from deserting him in favor of the lower price. The colored proprietor needs not make his business a racial proposition, except insofar as it contributes to build up the race in the community. He must run it on broad and basic principles of giving the best return possible in goods and service for the money, and this draw his support from the community in general. Those members of the race who are desirous of helping to build up this business development by investing in promising enterprises, should be in their guard against those schemes which aim only to take money out of the community. Let them invest their earnings where they will contribute to the building up of the community. A NEGLECTED ELEMENT. Considerable has been said and written of late years about the better class of the white people of the South getting together with the thinking Negroes for the purpose of arriving at a better understanding and better relations between the two races. This movement is a proper and helpful one and should be productive of a certain amount of good; at the participants on both sides may be able to transmit the results of their understanding to the masses of which they are the exponents. But the neglected element, which seems to have been left out of this understanding, is the mass of "poor whites" of the South. When we employ the expression "poor whites," we do not intend it, in any other than a descriptive sense; as it used by members of this group themselves, when they seek to define its status as an element of the Southern community. This group urmits the mass of illiteracy and ignorance of the South. In some states, like Mississippi, they are known as "hill bollies," in other like Georgia and North Carolina, they are colloquially called "trackers." What ever the local classification, they are the mudds of the community and the pawns of such demagogues, as Vardamafi and Hardyck and Tom Watson. They constitute the ignorant moobs that perpetrate lynchings and warnings of human beings at the blinding of shewder leaders in the background. They run the moonshine stills and short down the revenue officers from ambush. The South will never be safe for democracy nor civilization until the best thinking whites get in touch with this neglected element and convert them to decent and peaceful living. It is a task that will tax the utter resources of wisdom and persistence, but should be undertaken, at the earliest possible moment. TIME FOR ECONOMY. The keynote of the time, is the call for economy in the spending of money and thrift in the saving of money earned. Employment of all kinds is hard to find, and hard to hold. Those who enjoyed wartime wages and laid away sufficient to tide them over the reconstruction period, were wise in their day and generation. Those who will retain their jobs must realize that they must not only know how to do the work, but must do it in the best way possible without stacking a bit, in order to continue to hold them. With the supply of workers exceeding the demand, there is little chance for the inexperienced worker to secure or hold a job. The man seeking the job must know how to do it. Work. Many applications have been made through The Act for workers in various capacities, with the result: too often the employers complained that the applicants failed to make good, because they could not do the work. The worker must be able to do his work well, whatever it may be before he can make good. The market is glutted with unskilled labor, wh can not boost the ability to do any one thing well. Learn to do some one thing well before you seek that job. Discussing the assertion that the Negro will fare better out of politics, the Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter, says: "Years ago, just after the Civil War, perhaps the assertion that we are born worthy of consideration, but this caligrated age of civilization a man or society who thinks in this line is thinking backward and even hinders his own progress by chauping war- day and substantial members of other Themselves. The dues argue, the bloody shirt against the project-making crowd, and it answers questions, that the Brownt won't answer. This is a game and enjoyable way to understand the question. The Reporter hints that the war will make all good choices, and that more to pay the THE NEW YORK, NY, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1981 ANTE-BELLUM PHILOSOPHIZING A few weeks ago a colored man by the name of Philip Smith died in Savannah, Ga. He had been employed for a long number of years at the Savannah Cotton Exchange and when he died the flag over the Exchange was put at half-mast. A good many prominent men connected with the Exchange paid a tribute to Mr. Smith, a tribute which was no doubt deserved. The leading Savannah daily paper took this incident as an occasion to publish an editorial in which it philosophized on the race question and incidentally read the colored people of the country a lecture. The editorial was as follows: Just at this time, when there is so much untrue talk about racial difficulties, and so much talk of this sort that, alas, is true, it is refreshing for Savannah to offer to the attention of the whole country the fact that the flag over the Savannah Cotton Exchange was half-masted in respect to the qualities and service of a Negro man who had died. Philip Smith was a Negro porter and had served the Exchange for forty-three years. He was faithful and efficient and courteous and the color of his skin did not prevent the membership from paying honor to his memory. There is a lesson worth learning in this mark of respect paid by white men of the highest standing to a Negro employed in a position that would be considered of certainly not a very high order. It is partly that courtesy and faithfulness and efficiency will meet their recompense, whether the man who employs them is white or black. And this part of the lesson should be taken to heart most by the people of this man's own race. There is a way for the two races to live in peace and harmony together; in some parts of the South that way has been found, and perhaps nowhere else is it better exemplified than here in Savannah, where any Negro who attends to his business should find no difficulty in getting a square deal; certainly every white man in Savannah who has any, respect for the laws made, by white men should see to it that any Negro of this sort who, it appears, is about to get a deal that is not square should be protected. The bigger part of the lesson is one that should be read by those in other parts of the country who think that in the South a Negro cannot win respect, cannot win confidence, and for the mere reason that his skin is not white. The half-masting of the Cotton Exchange flag for a Negro is unusual; possibly it occurred the other day for the first time. But it did occur and at a time opportune for calling special attention to it. Economic conditions in recent months have tended to develop racial feeling everywhere in the country, and it is well to point to this incident as showing that, at any time, a Negro who goes quietly about his business, is faithful and honest, will have no trouble while he lives and will be mentioned with respect when he is dead. The philosophizing on the part of the writer of the above editorial leads us to do a bit of philosophizing, and we ask. What was it after all that the members of the Savannah Cotton Exchange were honoring in Philip Smith, and what is at the heart of the lecture which they are reading to the colored people at large? We ask these questions because the sort of philosophy that the above editorial contains is very common throughout the South. Philip Smith was being honored because for forty-three years, in a menial capacity, he was efficient, faithful, and always courteous; and the lesson read to the race as a whole is that so long as its members are efficient, faithful and courteous in menial positions, they will have no trouble in getting along in the South. No doubt Philip Smith as an individual deserved all the honor and tributes that were paid him, but the lesson goes no further than him as an individual; it has no wider application. The editorial in the Savannah Morning News says, "He was faithful and efficient and courteous and the color of his skin did not prevent the membership from paying honor to his memory." But is it not equally true that the color of his skin did prevent his rising to any position higher than that of porter in the Savannah Cotton Exchange, even during a service of forty-three years. There is a certain type of southern mind which continues to have pleasant dreams of Negroes made in the image of "Unele Tonl." They delight in picturing southern people as the magnanimous, protectors of these faithful retainers, and so it is easy for a colored man by working himself to death in the "faithful" service of white folks to gain at his death tributes of esteem that would not be paid to a Booker T. Washington. WATCH! Word is going around that the Republican Party is laying plans to eliminate the Negro as a political element in the South: The last election made many Republican leaders feel that if certain policies are followed, the Solid South can be permanently broken, and a strong functioning Republican Party be built up in those States. The policy in the minds of some of these leaders is to build up a white Republican Party. Whether these leaders will be able to make this the policy of the entire party remains to be seen. At any rate, it is reasonably certain that the next Republican Convention will see a change in the representative strength of Southern delegations to the convention. Colored citizens of the United States should watch very closely each move and development. The Negro will need no more than the term of the incoming Administration to decide him as to how he must chart his future political course. A NEW DISFRANCHISEMENT SCHEME. Former Governor of Louisiana, Ruffin G. Pleasant, comes forth with a new and original plan for disfranchising the Negro. The Governor offers his plan as a substitute for the Grandfather Clause in the Louisiana constitution of 1898 which was declared unconstitutional under the ruling made by the United States Supreme Court in the Grandfather Clause case. Mr. Pleasant's plan is to insert into the new Louisiana constitution an article limiting the franchise to persons whose ancestors immediately previous to the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492 inhabited any portion of the earth north of the 20th degree north latitude. Mr. Pleasant holds that the effect of such an article would be to enfranchise every white person of voting age and disfranchise every Negro who could not comply with the educational and property qualifications as prerequisite to voting. This evidently strikes Mr. Pleasant as a clever plan but it strikes us that he is almost too clever. In making the 20th degree north latitude his color line he may bar the Negro but he is taking in a good deal more than white people. More than half of India, all of China and all of Japan lie north of the 20th degree latitude. Thus it is that Mr. Pleasant is violating the laws of the United States doubly, for he is taking away the rights of citizenship from those whom the law says are citizens and conferring it upon some whom the laws of the United States say cannot become citizens. What logical difference Mr. Pleasant can draw between his plan and the outlawed Grandfather Clause plan we cannot see. The Grandfather Clause plan made certain educational qualifications necessary for voting, or the fact that a man's grandfather was a citizen and good prior to 1808. Mr. Pleasant's 20th degree north latitude plan for the law is not intended to be used as an educational The only difference we can see between the two plans is that Mr. Pleasant's plan shows the date back over four hundred years. It is amazing the amount of mental energy the majority of southern people use up in trying to circumvent what is right and just. Here is Mr. Pleasant trying to place qualifications no high that the Negro cannot reach them and at the same time make them so low that every white man can jump over them. That sort of thing may work for a while but it cannot last forever. This one thing the white people in the South might as well understand now as later—the Negro is going to have the ballot and there is no way to keep him out of it indefinitely. Comment By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors MILLIONS IN REAL ESTATE The growth of the colored community in Harlem has given occasion to some large figures, both as to population and real estate holdings. So well informed an authority as John E. Nail is a review of the activity of colored investors during the past year, gave the colored population north of west 125th street, according to police records and postal survey, as about 105,000 persons. This figure is thought by other good authorities to be excessive, and the actual colored population should not exceed 140,000. Be that as it may, the fact is established that colored investors have been buying steadily and the estimate that they own and control today 75 per cent of all property in the district may be accepted, if we restrict the term control to that given to agents for running purposes only. While the acquisition of property by owners and investors of the race has been a steady process, the statement made by another real estate man, Fitz Howell, that they have taken for homes and investment purposes upward of $150,000,000 shoots way payoff the mark. Twenty million dollars is a liberal estimate of the value of the real estate holdings of individuals and corporations of the Negro race in the district. On the other hand the value of property occupied by members of the race for dwellings and other purposes may run as high as three hundred million dollars. Some of this is handled through colored agents and smaller portion is owned by members of the race, but the major portion is owned by white people. In reciting the increase of individual ownership and the development of business, Mr. Nail sees the old argument of colored people depreciating the value of property exploded, because as he says, the moment a person becomes an owner he immediately has a different viewpoint and automatically takes better care of the property." Mortgage accommodation is still a crying need of the situation, and some type of a lending institution is pronounced necessary to meet this demand. In connection with this feature: Mr. Nail confirms a comment recently made in The Ace as to newspapers making millions, in the following terms: I want to correct statements appearing recently in publications that we number among our citizens in Harlem, open of great wealth, millionaires in fact. These statements are absolutely untrue. I know of no man there who can be counted wealthy. What little wealth is possessed is in the aggregate, and it must be organized to be an effective economic force. The housing problem of the future is succinctly and clearly put in the following form: The great problem we are confronted with for the future is the need of more houses, and how this problem is to be solved. When the building programme is started—which surely must be done within Pittsburgh has a school problem in its hands in the refusal of the superintendent of city schools to appoint a duly qualified young woman as teacher merely because of her color. The responsibility for this discrimination is placed by the Pittsburgh Courier as follows: The Board of Education, appointed by the Courts, sits in judgment upon the daughter, and after giving her every honor known to the scientist of teaching, she is refused employment in the most subtle and decoriful manner possible. The Board of Education is controlled by the Olivers David Oliver. Olivers head all controlling officers. The Olivers dictate the opportunity for the failure met out to the colored people of Pittsburgh. The Olivers also us when our backs are turned, but crown us with honors when in our presence. Thi is the Judus, the Brutes of it all. The people must rise and free themselves and their children, if they have any hopes for the future. Further ideals means add emphasis. Culture is the regularity as are the modes of others. We must have reconstitution, or we are the subjects of tyranny. What will we do? Let the Negro voters of Pittsburgh our voters in such a manager in future as to make those responsible for this injustice confine their wrong doing. The Pittsburgh American sign: In attending a rising NO to sponsors of the Ku Klux, New York has properly understated this discredited allegue of barbarism. In other parts of the country, where Simmons and his adviser have to set up it, it is believed that it will be likewise committed. ALL GOOD Americans are exposed to the underlying spirit of the Ku Klux and it but remains for us to ensure a sufficient counter spirit to insure the complete assimilation from the American continent. Industries along racial and religious lines in one of the distinguishing facets of this disregulated organization, which should put it under the law of civil Amendment. the next year, to supply the present needs for housing accommodation are we of this district going to spread and occupy the housing adjacent to the district that the whites will move out of, because they will seek, newer houses, or are going to be pitched on less of our community and build a type of house that will be suited to our economic needs such as a model economic proposition of two, three and four room apartments? The class or houses we are occupying today are not suited to our economic needs in the most part, but to produce houses from cheap labor it will be necessary for builders to secure mortgage accommodation and I know that there will be no greater risk involved financing a builder in Warrington today than would be involved in financing a similar building operation in any other section of the city. Upon the manner in which this problem of future housing conditions is met and handled will depend largely the social and economic conditions that will work for good or evil in warrington. The be type of financial and economic ability I required to cope with it. KIND OF BANK NEEDED While there has been a good deal of talk about the organization of a banking institution to meet the growing needs of the race in Harlem, there is room for discussion as to the kind of bank that is most needed. Experienced students of community development are of the opinion that the institution best adapted to serve the demands of the action would be a combination of a trust company, and savings bank. An institution of this character that could supply the demand for long term loans on mortgages, rather than a state c national bank that would be restricted to short time and demand loans, would best meet the needs of the situation. A plan of organization that would provide for such a development and pass the requirements of the banking department should be sought for. The present banking needs of the Negro business in Harlem, are being met and acceptably cared for through the Harlem branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank, of which Mr. C. G. Rapp has been recently elected vice president. Mr. Rapp's conduct of the affairs of this branch has been marked by courtesy and efficiency in attending to the business demands of both depositors and borrowers, though limited to the margin protected by safe banking principles. He is therefore well thought of in the community. The volume of business contributed by the colored community of this bank, combined with judicious investment in its stock, might result in the securing of representation on the board of directors as well as in the clerical force behind the counter. The experiment is worth trying at all events. The recent time the projectors of a new banking proposition should study the kind of bank needed. ing labor unions. She cites some reasons: One is the habit of accepting Negroes as members but not assigning them to work in order of their application. Another is that of asking back the white worker not the Negro worker following strike. Until the white workers refuse to serve, Until the white workers will such circumstances, the Negro will mention the advantage of the union card, the case was cited of white union workers in a Georgia oil mill releasing to accept a wage award which was denied to the colored union workers. The strike was a greater victory was won principally as a uphold. An instructor of discrimination in New York City was cited by a delegate who related that the colored girl in a certain branch of union being persistently denied admission into the union in that factory, but because of her great efficiency, she is still being in her job by her fortune and is earning over $30 per week. Despite these setbacks, it is felt that the color line in labor is bound to give way before the growing sentiment that Negro membership will add strength to the cause. Commencing on the blow that greeted the Ku Klux Klan, when it announced its intention of invading New York, the Devout Leader says: Now comes the Daily Times of this city stating an organization of the Klan in Dearborn. This land organization must be combined in Dearborn. Our various organization and churches must prove the unfairness of such an organization. Expose its hypocritical pretensions to patriotism and its empty promise to uphold the law. "The Blanket of a Survey" of a city block that was found unfit for current human habitation is told in the "Thinking People Christian Reviver," after the 750 people who lived there just been removed. The official people write grievances and a request for assistance, with police and other officials to investigate. An able, sound and dexterous man in a spirit of justice and made a vehicle of malice and favoritism, oriented and published upon man, is a powerful lever in elevation and advancement of the race. Such a paper claims upon all who desire to and people in the estimation of them selves and their surrounding — to the Acm.

The total cost of the survey is less than $200. The wages the receipt will be at least $200 may vary depending on people in their new homes, the size of the contractor and the number of tunities in business. The Recorder claims that if the survey of the A. M. E. Church is completed, it will be the best investment in church made in a quarter of a century. The proposition seems on reasonable grounds.

The business should not be allowed far. The depressed price of cotton restricted export, and limited consumption, has caused the American Cotton Association of St. Mary's C. to give the following advice to growers: Large farmers who are breeding in 1920 crop for higher prices and plant no cotton on their land in 1921. Others should not plant to produce 1921, more than one half the production of cotton in 1920. Use the cotton game for one year to produce abundant supplies of cotton may pay potassium fertilizer, other food crops. Rest beehives and poultry. Live at home one economise. Such a policy, if enforced will result in putting the crop of cotton back to living values and will make Southern farmers' industries Western corner jobs and make jobs. This is sound advice as to the range of food crops and live crops that have been advocated before by the farmers with the hazards of the one industry. Thrift and economy are sites to be cultivated to an LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS E. EDITH M. DAVIS Rochester, N. Y. Abraham Lincoln, born in 1809, became, the greatest eminent tor of the world. The echo of his taint in the country and its institutions strikes a grave chord today. While his massive build was the source of all sorts of community he felt in good humour, it the foundation for mass of famous jokes. Irving Gacheller in his Man for the Age, gives the counts of Lincoln as a young man was born for a great work, set about in his early life to play. His was no easy task, he being to look forward to but work, which he was not able to tackle. He toured his own charities to which he lived up to through life. Honesty, great self-control, justice and hard in tool and work were the fact that he was a tall man and a hard working man made an impressive background for him and had the richest inheritance of all of his century. During the Republican State convention at Chicago in 1868 he met the United States Senate, in his speech. "Friends, this thing has been back long enough. The time when these sentiments should be tered, and if it is derailed that go down because of this speech let me go down linked to the Aurelius divided against the fall. Our Government can endure martyre and parture." While Douglas was the most edrator, Lincoln apologized rails, he drove his argument to the souls of his hearers. At that convention was the great Hirace Greeley, who was for hreatened. When called to speak he stepped for aid and show voice said. Cemeteries, this is my spirit, your second Billot vote for Lincoln of Illinois. It is con- viction. He had entered the furrows of his great life. Frederick Douglas number three whose opinion is valu- able. He is common with one another, the great Emancipator of the other the great Emancipator of all marked. Perhaps there is no more clients that can feel me than Kochester, N. Y. Mr. Douglas spent 15 years Mr. Lincoln's favorite guest after his death, wh higly prized by Mr. Douglas the lives of these two men from generation to generation that all great memorabilies by men of in The 4 ED ek - By Luciée: 4‘ Wake « e Sunday Night “Audience .

Want Drama and Music at Lafayette; Reason Management Changed Policy Bv LESTER A. WALTON. CHANGING the Lafayette Theatre from the home of drama and musical comedy to a motion picture house has brought forth numerous protests from the devotees of dramatic productions both in and outside of New York. The Quality Amusement Corporation, likewise The Age, has received communications in which writers take the position that public sentiment is against making the best known colored playhouse in America a place for the exploitation of photo plays. Maybe this evidence of disapproval is indicative that those of the race who want to see the Negro advance along dramatic lines have just been brought to realize a golden opportunity has been lost at least temporarily. It is quite often the case that we do not appreciate persons of things until it is late. prominent Negro who gives the Lafayette Players loyal support. I could mention many others, but the Toyalty of a few is not going to make it possible for the Quality Amusement Corporation to reach the goal toward which it is moving. The masses and classes of the race will have to join in It was with much reluctance that the Quality Amusement Corporation reached the decision to change the policy of furnishing attractions for the Lafayette Theatre; for one of the principal aims of the corporation was and is to further the interests of the Negro in dramatic art. But objects of this kind, ever if tinged with altruism must be conducted along practical lines. No matter how desirous the Quality Amusement Corporation has been to develop colored actors and to popularize race plays, unless a healthy support is accorded, not just one week but every week, there will be no ultimate accomplishment of these aims. The support given the Quality Amusement Corporation in pro- viding dramatic presentations at the Lafayette Theatre and some of its other houses during the past season has been spasmodic. There has been no consistency in the matter of patronage. There has not been sufficient enthusiasm manifested to encourage those who have spent thousands of dol- lars weekly to advance a race in the realm of drama. Salaries must be paid, scenery and costumes furnished; royalties on plays paid, and theatres with their many incidental expenses provided in order to present dramatic offerings, with Negroes in the cast. And expenses must be met each week even though the public shows its indifference by ceant patronage. At this time there seems to be a big demand for the revival of the drama in some cities. The exact reason has not yet been analyzed. Possibly it is due to the remarkable success being achieved by Charles S. Gilpin, formerly a member of the Lafayette Players, who is one of the dramatic hits of the season on Broadway in "Emperor Jones;" or it may be that with the recent withdrawal of drama from New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Norfolk, the public is just beginning to appreciate the efforts of the Quality Amusement Corporation. It is singular that last week "Common Clay" was produced at the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, and did a record-breaking business, although a month previous when the Lafayette Players appeared in the Quaker City the attendance was small. This week the theatre is enjoying another large turnout at each performance. In Washington they are clamoring for the drama and want to see the Lafayette Players at the Howard Theatre. The situation is analogous in Norfolk, where drama is wanted at the Attacks Theatre. Speaking of Charles S. Gilpin in "Emperor Jones," now appearing at the Princess Theatre, it is interesting to study the psychology of the colored public on things facial. Hundreds are now flocking downtown to see Mr. Gilpin because white theatregoers have pronounced him a fine actor. But I recall to mind that when Mr. Gilpin played at the Lafayette Theatre there were many performances when the house was far from being comfortably full. Of course, were he to appear at the Lafayette Theatre to-day, it would be difficult to procure a seat. Yet Mr. Gilpin was just as much of an artist a few years ago as he is now. Were the Lafayette Players to appear on Broadway, the fandling room only" sign would be very much in evidence upon their return to Harlem. So after all it is a question of the Metro appreciating his own first before the Caucasian does it for him. Loyal to Lafayette Plyers. These are quite a number of good men and women who have had royally by the Lafayette woman season and one of sea and who have been seen at Lafayette Theatre despite insistent weather or moderate parties. Among the men I have heard are Harry Burdick and Charlie Charlton, whose reputations are noteworthy, are not unheard. Ask Revival of Drama. prominent Negro who gives the Lafayette Players loyal support; I could mention many others, but the Toyalty of a few is not going to make it possible for the Quality Amusement Corporation to reach the goal toward which it is moving. The masses and classes of the race will have to join in helping the Negro reach a high place in the world of make-believe. There are many who are supercritical when it comes to giving the Lafayette Players the credit to which they are justly entitled. They are forever comparing the colored actor with the white actor on Broadway; and while the success of Charles S. Gilpin stresses the fact that we have race actors that compare favorably with those downtown, it must not be forgotten that all of us must crawl before we can walk. If the proper support were given the Lafayette Players the Quality Amusement Corporation would be in a position to put on more sumptuous productions and the race actor would be greatly encouraged to study and develop. Critics of the race who give lukewarm support to the Lafayette, Dunbar and other theatres, and constantly refer to what they can see at the legitimate white houses are not only unfair but lack a certain sense of race loyalty that is absolutely essential to race development. The Lafayette Theatre may not compare favorably with the Empire Theatre, but what enterprise conducted by Negroes measures up when put side by side with the leading white enterprise of a similar kind? The financial punishment taken without a murmur by E. C. Brown, President of the Quality Amusement Corporation, and his associates in their laudable efforts to put colored theatricals on a higher plane is known to but few, and if there is such a thing as heroism they are entitled to Carnegie medals. These men are successful in business and it is not necessary that they undergo such punishment. The Lafayette Theatre was not turned into a movie house because the management so desired, but was purely a matter of expediency. The high ideals and cherished ambitions publicly expressed from time to time by Mr. Brown and his co-workers are yet fresh and virile in their minds and the desire to do big things in drama for the race is still burning; but experience has taught them that no matter how lofty their motives, no matter how ambitious their program, it is absolutely necessary that they be accorded the proper support from those who believe in future possibilities of the Negro on the stage. LAFAYETTE MOVIES AT REDUCED PRICES With greatly reduced prices mattened 17 cents evening 17 cents and 25 cents, an gaussian program of first run photoplays will be shown at the La Brea Theatre commencing Sunday, February 13. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the feature picture will be "The Barbary," a movie with Monroe Nalbury and New York University in an all star cast. The cen are laid in the wilds of Canada, and are very, spectacular. The moral of the play is that even those who call themselves cultized can learn much from those who accuse of being barbarians. As this story the barbarian had a bigger heart and a bigger mind than those with pretensions of being hired. On Wednesday and Thursday Rebe Daniels in "Oh Lady, Lady" will be the feature; and for Friday and Saturday, Constance Bunney in "Something Different" will be seen to advantage in a thrilling play. Vaudeville and pictures will constitute Sunday's program. AT THE RENAISSANCE The Resistance continues to show the best pictures, and is fast taking the place as one of the favorite movie houses in Harlem. The bill this week sends some of the most popular movie stars, including Douglas Fairbanks, in his latest and best picture, "The Mark of Zoro." This picture is a celebration of early days in California. The illustrator "Drew," who is the part of a popular sports uniform and shirt, and the part of a popular pop star, is now small and dark, with only a small part of the picture, occupying the head space. This picture is childish with simple shapes and patterns, and will be no surprise to the youngest viewers. By DOS SLATEY. Chas. S. Giglin in Emperor Jones, Princess Theatre, New York City.

The beloved Umasa, last of the Mohicans, could not be a wrist wearer wearing Broadway actor of the screen hero type. He had to be a spiritual one, a realismist, the creator of Umasa's Hince. Hince Tournault examined many actors, unt, he found Albert Rosser, who is an eighty-Osage Indian, and a well-known leading man. He loved his hair, bared his body and made up for the part. Magus the Hunt Like a kid, who was the hit star of the charitable hands of Wallace. Berry noted, vain and bad man, who carries off all honors for playing parts.

Sunday, 22nd, at 10 o'clock, in the Theatre of the City, at the corner of the street of Shakespeare, on the second floor of the building. This Friday evening, February 11, a big wrestling championship will be presented at the army of the 15th infantry, which is the largest military unit the world is of the 15th infantry Association. A series of wrestling championship have, however, which his fair to make this show the best of his kind staged in this city in happy months. The army of the 15th infantry is being completely renovated in order to act as the teammate to wrestle which is especially important to wrestle in the various stars of the world who are scheduled to appear. The big event of the evening will be a finish match between Arthur Laliman heavyweight champion of Finland, and John Klem the celebrated Chicago Teeboy. Laliman recently arrived in the United States, beckoning matches with the best man in the ring. He is particularly anxious to obtain chance to show his ability against champion Strangler Lewis and on several occasions has challenged the champion to meet him, but without success. Failing to get on with Lewis, the Finnish heavy, has given his attention to Stecher, Caddock Zipper, only to be given the "go-by" by those imminent knights of the Mar. In addition to the finish contest between Laitian and Klein, several other matches will also be presented. In the American welterweight championship champion will meet Sailor Sanders, the U.S. Navy's bandage contest. According to the articles of agreement Muldum agrees to throw Sanders within a time limit of one half hour. In another bout, Young Monday, a former colored sporting treasurer in Hawaii will wish with Jack Lewis of the Bronx. The match also should be an interesting one from start to finish. THE HOWARD UNIV. PLAYERS Washington, D.C.—In presenting "The Tenths of the Arab," at the Minor Normal school, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday weekends of this week, the Howe-land Players are placing before the citied and Washington the most poetic and altruistic plays of Lord Dunsany, who in the plays of Lord Dunsany, Hamilton is generally regarded as the greatest living writer of one-act plays.

It depicts the powerfully drawn scene where Simon, the Cyranean Negro, bears the Crow of Christ up Calyx. Montgomery Gregory is general director of plays, Miss Marie Moore-Forest is Art Director, and Clean Throckmorton of New York is technical director. On Monday night a boxing carnival was held at the St. Philip's parish house before a large and enthusiastic audience, the participants represented some of the bouts held in Harlem. Many of the bouts were fast-paced and a number of the boxers showed much promise. Among the best bouts were those between Benny Pontau and Sandy Taylor, Clifton Mitchell and Sandy Taylor, Clifton Mitchell and Berno Chink and Berno Velery and the best in Harry Robinson and Benny Pontau. Summary of sports: Wilson Jackson vs. John Goffe; two rounds with no decision; Carl Moore vs. Edwin Riley; with no decision; Kid White vs. White; three rounds with no decision; wren by Taylor; Nero Chink's three rounds with decision; Nero Chink's three rounds with decision; Benny Pontau vs. Sandy Taylor; two rounds with no decision.

The Master took in His thought every human being on the face of the earth. Love was the binding principle of human life, and the question is to whether the world was growing better or worse. He held that it did not seem that it was getting better, but that things were not what they seemed. By facts deduced, he showed emphatically, that the trend of the world was going forward. By text from the 60th Psalm, he showed that while there was outer confusion, that the stream of life was constantly going forward, and 'gladdening the City of God.' If it were not so that the world as growing better, then he held, that he had been saved, and that the future offered, no hope. All together it was a great day in Nazareme.

Va. - The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, held its eighth annual Farmer's and Home Maker's institute and from January 20th to 20th, in addition, an interest in this project has increased year by year, in view of the fact that the latest census reports show that the number of farms, in the State of West Virginia has decreased 97 per cent in the last ten years, and the total acreage 46 per cent. It is also worthy of note that four hundred and three of the five hundred and four Negro farmers in the State own their farms outright. It is true, nevertheless, that although the ratio of the Negro population of the State to the total population is approximately as one to eighteen, the ratio of the number of Negro farmers to the total number of farmers in the State is approximately as one to one hundred and seventy, then the number of Negro farmers centred around the cities and mining towns rather than in the few agricultural sections of the State. It would seem that the West Virginia Negro is not rural. The Department of Agriculture of the State of West Virginia is engaged in an active campaign for the enco- nagement and development of a culture- tourism program in the State.
