During the dialogue between the Emperor and the trader the former is depicted by the author as a confirmed agent who assists in insultable courage and the latter as one running a treachery. While the natives are in the high-organizing to defrone him, Mr. Fraser Jones makes his exit, his program being to traverse path hitherto exploited and mapped out for practical purposes in case of emergency.

Y., SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1921 A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives H. R. 4378 by Conn. essman Martin C. Ansorge, of the 21st Congressional District, New York, creating a Commission to be called "The Joint Commission on Lynchink" to embrace representatives of the white and colored races to investigate the subject of lynching, and to report to Congress, or before January 1st, 1922, legislative measures intended and designed to prevent, discourage and to punish lynching. Congressman Ansorge introduced the bill in accordance with President Harding's recommendation to the Joint Session of Congress on April 12th, 1921, approving use of Proposal for the creation of a Commission embracing representatives of the white and African races, to study and report on the subject of lynching. The bill Congressman Ansorge provides that the Commission shall be known as the Joint Commission on Lynching and shall consist of five members appointed by the President, by and with the consent of the Senate, as soon after the enactment of the law as is practicable. The members of the Commission shall serve without salary except that one of the Commissioners, to be designated by the President, shall act as secretary and shall receive a salary at the rate of $5,000 per annum. The commission, may, as a whole or by subcommittees of the commission, duly appointed, hold hearings anywhere in the United States, may send for persons and papers, administer oaths summon and compel the attendance of wit- Governor Dorsey Issues Booklet Giving Detailed Account of Georgia's Crimes Against Negro Citizens (Staff Correspondence to THE Act) Atlanta, Ga., April 20—Under the title "The Negro in Georgia," Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey has issued in booklet form evidence of 135 instances of "Negroes lynched, Negroes held in peonage, Negroes driven out by organized lawlessness and Negroes subjected to individual acts of cruelty" in various counties of the State within the past two years. "In some counties," said the Governor, "the Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast; in others he is being held a slave; in others no Negroes remain. No effort has been made to collect the cases cited. If such an effort were made, I believe the number could be multiplied. In only two of the 135 cases cited is the 'usual crime' against white women involved." Then the Governor added: "If conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than God and man have condemned Belgium and Leopold for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia." churches to place Georgia a sufferer Schools and churches arate places of w old of both races able teachers the city and mutual for J. Compulsory races. "The organizes on race relief composed of lead other of leaders a local committee in each committee to con- cessary concerning welfare of both. Recommending under which possible, the God following laws to age evil: "Establish lary under proper giving to the Government, to send men into any county. Lynchings, of which there have been 418 in Georgia since 1805 (a larger number than in any other State), form the smallest group of the charges of Gov. Dorsey. He laid more stress on instances of pennance, among which was listed the Williams case recently brought to a climax. Still more stress is laid upon the driving away of Negroes, instances of which embrace a number wherein the prosperity and industry of the victims seem to have been the occasion of offense. In the evidence offered appeared charges against the Ku Klux Klan, as well as "White, Caps" and "Night Riders." One charge against the Klan was discredited by a Sheriff, who was himself a member of it, however. A call for the purging of Georgia by hersey closes Gov. Dorsey's statement, which was first made public at last Friday's meeting of the Inter-racial Committee. Of the remedies that should be sought, the Governor said. "I place the charges before you as they came to me, uninsolicted. I have withheld the names of counties and individuals because I do not desire to give harmful publicity to these counties. I am convinced that even in these counties where the outrages are said to have occurred the better element regrets them, and I believe furthermore that the better element in these counties and in the whole State, which constitutes the majority of our people, will condemn such conditions and take the steps necessary to correct them. The investigation and the suggestion of a remedy should come from Govtnts and not from outsiders. For these reasons, I call your attention to the following suggested remedies: 1. Publicity, namely, the careful gathering and investigation by Govtnts and by members of facts as to the treatment of the Negro throughout the State and the multiplication of these facts on the people of Georgia. 2. An organised campaign by the nesses, and compel testimony. To Report Jan. 1, 1922. The commission may, from time to time, report to the President its findings and recommendations, and not later than January 1st, 1922, shall make a final report including its recommendations and the testimony taken by it. The commission shall conduct a general inquiry into the subject of lynching in the United States, and the causes thereof. The commission shall also consider and report its conclusions with respect to the adductivity of the means now employed for the prevention of lynchings, the remedies available for their avoidance, aid, shall recommend to Congress, legislative measures intended and designed to prevent and discourage lynchings to punish its commission. The bill also provides for an appropriation of $100,000 for use of the commission to be available immediately upon its appointment. Believes Bill Will Pass. "The crime of lynching is a blot upon the escutcheon of America" said Congressman Ansorge. "Every man, irrespective of race, creed or color, is entitled to the due protection of the law. The constitution guarantees this. Respect for law and order cannot be had then certain of our citizens themselves discourage such respect. President Harding in the Joint Session of Congress, said Congress ought to wipe the stain of barricade lynching from the banners of a free and orderly, representative democracy, and called for a humane and enlightened consideration of the question. He stated that the proposal churches to place art every section of Georgia a sufficient number of Sunday Schools and churches where in their separate places of worship the young and old of both races will learn from suitable teachers the gospel of justice, mercy and mutual forbearance for all. "3. Compulsory education for both races. "4. The organization of State committees on race relations, one committee composed of leading white citizens, another of leaders among the Negroes, and local committee made up in the same manner in each county of the State, the committees to confer together when necessary concerning matters vital to the welfare of both races." Recommending the repeal of statutes under which pronage has been made possible, the Governor suggested the following laws to stamp out the peonage civil: "(a) Establishing a State constabulary under proper safeguards and authorizing the Governor, upon his own motion, to send members of such force into any county of the State to quell disorder or to protect the life and property of any citizen. "(b) Imposing a financial penalty upon any county in which a lynching may occur. "(c) Authorizing the Governor of the State to appoint at any time any three Judges of the Superior Court to act as a commission to investigate any lynching occurring in any county of the State and empowering the Governor to remove from office any public official found by such commission to have failed to enforce or uphold the law. (d) Giving the Governor the discretion and power in any case of mob violence or lynching to authorize and direct any judge of the Superior Court to draw grand and petit juries from the State at large for the consideration and trial of such cases, and authorize the Governor to designate the place at which the trial or trials shall be held." Atlanta, Ga.—A wide-spread publicity campaign to acquaint Georgians with conditions prevailing among the Negroes of Georgia and the relations existing between white people and Negroes in some sections of the State was made at length at the first meeting of the State Intercultural Relations Commission, April 23rd. The meeting was called by Gov. Hugh M. Dworser and Rev. M. Ashby Jones was elected temporary chairman, with Marion M. Jackson, temporary secretary. The Governor presented to the meeting a booklet he had prepared showing in detail 1.35 cases of allied cruelty to Negroes, promote and lynching throughout the State. This booklet was read together with a series of remedies which the Governor suggested. The first of these remedies a carefully conducted publicity campaign—was the subject of discussion among the members. John A. Mantel, Rev. C. B. Wiltner and Rev. H. L.

COL. JAMES H. YOUNG DIES AT RALEIGH, N. C. (Special to THE New York Age) Ralph S. N-C-Col James H. Young, who commanded the Third North Carolina Regiment, United States Volunteer infantry, during the Spanish-American war, 1898-99, and who has served as worshipful grand master of the North Carolina Grand Lodge of Mason, and who was a race leader in business and politics of National prominence, died here on Monday morning, April 18th, at 8:30 clock, after a lingering illness of about three years. Col. Young was well known in the National Republican Conventions, having attended several sessions of that body as a delegate. He wielded a wide influence in race councils in this state. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, April 20th, from the First Baptist Church, which was thronged with sympathizing friends and admirers. He is survived by the widow, a daughter and two grandchildren. for the creation of a Joint Commission of both races has real merit, and I have no doubt that the House and Senate will pass the law appointing the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission as provided for in my bill, provides for a report to the Congress recommending legislative measures intended and designed to prevent and discourage lynching and to punish its commission." when the people of Georgia are given the actual facts concerning the relations of white people and Negroes in some sections they will apply the remedy necessary. DR. HENDERSON SUES WIFE FOR SEPARATION Dr. Gustavus Henderson, one of New York's most prominent colored physician, with offices at 202 East 99th street, has entered, suit for separation from his wife, Mrs. Mary B. Henderson, of 277 West street. He alleges as basis of his application, his wife's uncontrolable temper, and a habit of using "vile and filthy language." They have been married twenty-eight years. Mrs. Henderson was seen by an Age reporter and asked for a statement. She declined to talk, saying that a statement would be made after she had consulted wit her lawyer. The action took her by surprise, as she had no previous intimation of the doctor's intentions. Her first knowledge of it came through a note which he left for her at their former mutual residence. Dr. Henderson declares that for twenty-five years their life was happy, but was that for the past three years life has become "unbearable and intolerable" because of the great change in his wife's disposition. He alleges that she embarrassed him by cursing and abusing him before servants, nurses and patients, interfering with the practice of his profession and almost making him a nervous-wreck.

April 27th, at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 135th street, at which time resolutions were adopted which declared that in matters affecting the moral and religious standards of the race cooperation of the whites is sought, but "DOMINATION WE WILL NOT Stringent Anti-Lynch Bill Made Law in West Virginia Both Houses of Legislature Have Passed Capehart Measure, Providing $5,000 for Family of Mob Victim.

An enormous crowd thronged over the portals of Old Mother Zion Church when the doors were thrown open on Wednesday evening, and when Dr. E. P. Roberts, formerly chairman of the local Committee of Management of the coloured "Y" took his place as presiding officer and called the meeting to order, he faced an audience already in sympathy with the proposed purpose of the assembly—to endorse and ratify the action of the ten men who resigned from membership on the local Y. M. C. A's Committee of Management rather than submit to serving merely as tools and rubber stamps for the white men composing the City Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. Taylor Defied Committee. Speakers who outlined the matters at issue between the local committee and the City Board included the Rev. D. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and Dr. Charles H. Roberts, former treasurer of the Harlem "Y" Committee of Management, and Miss Katherine M. Johnson, an attach of the colored Y. W. C. A. in West 137th street. The speakers elaborated upon the fact that the City Board, in reversing action of the local board in the Taylor case, had ignored entirely the grounds upon which that action had been taken, the acknowledged social association of Taylor, a married man separated from his legal wife, with his private secretary, Mrs. Alice Conley, a married woman separated from her husband. This association was not only acknowledged by Mr. Taylor, but it is alleged by former members of the local board that he defiantly declared his intention of continuing that association, regardless of the effect of such an example upon the young men and boys of the "Y" or upon his personal standing in the community. Resolutions were read by the Rev. A. C. Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and a former member of the local board, reciting the facts which caused the board to take action, and giving a complete refutation of the arguments advanced by the City Board in its letter to members of the local board calling upon them to reconsider their action of February 18th, which demanded that Taylor resign as secretary of the colored branch, to take effect May 1st. The resolutions are as follows: TEXT OF RESOLUTIONS. In the controversy of the Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the City Board of Directors, the issue at stake may be simply stated as follows: "In matters vitally affecting the moral and religious life of the group in whose interest the Y. M. C. A. is supposed to operate, shall the Local Committee be free to make its own decisions, or shall those decisions be made for it by the City Board of Directors?" Stringent Anti-L Made Law Both Houses of Legis Capehart Measures for Family of (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Charleston, W. Va.—Subjecting the country to a forfeiture of $3,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent antitrych bill thus far enacted by any of the states H. J. Capheart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, overcoming the most determined opposition of the democratic minority which sought to emasculate it by 'proposing various amendments. As originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $2,500, and made every county through which the mob might be privy and severally might threaten the objection of many of his party members and secure their support. Capheart reduced the amount to $5,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers. Supported by Race.

M. C. A. is being conducted are not competent to act, and therefore must take orders from them. The promulgation of this policy represents a new departure in the administration of the affairs of this particular branch of the Y. M. C. A. Never before, during the twenty old years this branch has been in operation, has the authority of the Local Committee been challenged. Cases similar to the one which serves as the occasion for this controversy, have been decided by the Local Committee without interference on the part of the Board of Directors. This reversal of policy on the part of the Board of Directors can mean only one thing; namely, that hereafter the Local Committee must consider itself stripped of power to act, even when the supposedly high ideals of the Association are being compromised by those at the head of the board, and must accept the decision of the Board of Directors, the members of which, have no immediate contact with local conditions, and cannot serve the best interests of the group involved. Invite Cooperation—Repel Domination. There is only one answer to this ultimatum, and the resigning members of the Local Committee have given that answer. Cooperation we invited; domination we will not have. This would be our position even if Negroes were not interested financially in the West 11th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. But since they are interested financially to the extent of $80,000, this fact reinforces our contention that the administration of the affairs of this institution, especially in matters hearing directly on the moral and religious standards of the race, must be left to the judgment of the colored people themselves, and not to the arbitration of a super-governing body like the Board of Directors. The day has passed when any agency, under whatever colors it may sail, can hope to make headway amic. Negroes by adopting a 'take it or leave it' policy. Negroes of today are thinking and acting upon their own initiative in matters affecting their race, and will accept no dictation from outside agencies which pretend to be working in their interest. The facts which have precipitated this controversy are as follows: At the February meeting of the so-called Committee of Management, a motion prevailed that the executive secretary of the Branch be removed from office. This drastic action was not based on newspaper articles derogatory to the character of the executive secretary, it being expressly stated in open meeting that (Continued On Second Page) Lynch Bill in West Virginia slature Have Passed, Providing $5,000 Mob Victim. Kanawha County's colored delegate, and the legislative committee of the West Virginia State League, composed of all classes of Negro citizens, of which T. Edward Hill, of Keystone, is president, and J. Gilmer, of Charleston, is secretary. Others of the race all over the state assisted with petitions, while members of the state administration and other influential citizens, among the whites, both men and women, contributed much to the passage of the bill. Other legislation of particular benefit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys and an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of Negro welfare and statistics. The proposal to aggregate colored passengers on railroads, disguised by its democratic author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers" was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion, indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway workers, was a similar fate.

She was sentenced to be electrocuted on July 12th, 1920, but the appeal filed by her attorneys generated a stay. The actual murderer, Theodore Scott, who assaulsed the girl before killing her was permitted to plead guilty to manslaughter and was given a sentence of from five to eighteen years. The girl was insured for $500 and Scott testified that he and Mrs. Dixon so were to receive $200 for their crime. Full Bench Hears Argument The full bench of seven Justice's heard the appeal and Counsel's Smith and Latimore consumed one hour and five minutes in the opening and main argument. It is said that this is the first time Negro attorneys have argued an appeal in a murder case in the Court of Appeals. The District Attorney of Broms county appeared the appeal and Counsel were given considerable time by the Court in which to present their replies to District Attorney's argument. The brief presented in behalf of Mrs. Dixon contained 135 pages of facts and in law, embracing a complete history (Continued From First Page) the appearance of these damaging articles at the time of the committee action was merely an untimely incidence. The immediate cause of the dismissal of the executive committee was the matter of his sexual relations with private secretary, and exerted members of the Committee of Management knew this to be a fact. Secretary Was Warned. Following this action a joint meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors and the Committee of Management of the West High Street Branch will be held. of this case, and the Court gave earnest attention to the arguments advanced by Messrs. Smith and Lattimore. It was allowed that the main contention of the state was wrong. It was charged by the state, as a motive for the crime, only one half of its face value and that extented $0.02 by the girl's death, after paying the 20% pretax this boy's testimony added showed that the policy was less than six months old, and under the insurance company's laws was worth only one half its face value and what this fact was well known to the defendant; that she could only benefit the extent of $5 as a result of the girl's death in the exchange of compiling to Lattimore substantiated. In the event of a favorable decision by the Court of Appeals, growing a new trial to Mrs. Dixon, Attorneys Smith and Lattimore are confident of securing an annulment for their client. Serving Without Compensation. An element of interest is added to this case by the fact that Counselor Smith has been defending Mrs. Dixon since 1918 without compensation. The record of publicity shows that a sum was raised through the public subscription and the personal efforts of one or two parties who became interested in Mrs. Dixon's plight, but the amount collected was barely sufficient to cover the expenses of the brief. All other expense of the case have been borne by Counselor Smith, who fought all above until his partner, Counselor Latimore, convinced of Mrs. Dixon's innocence, volunteered his services also with out cost. A decision will be handed down, in the course by the Court of Appeals, and favorable action is confidently expected. No. 2 West 45th street. The Executive Committee, sitting as a Court of Review, introduced newspaper articles reflecting on the character of the executive secretary, and stated that the editor had been invited to appear before that body with protest and damaging charges. The receiving members of the local committee insisted that the newspaper articles had no bearing on the case, and had nothing whatever to do with their decision. They went further. They might even concede that the newspaper articles were false, but this would not touch the issue upon which the executive secretary was dismissed. In due course the Executive Committee made a report to the Board of Directors, and the Board in turn sent a letter to the General Committee of Management. Made Woman the Scapegoat. The privilege of the findings of the Board of Directors was a follows: 1. The editor of the paper referred to did not appear to substantiate his charges. 2. The executive secretary denies the charges. 3. The Board of Directors be- lieves the charges to be take. I the young lady who was private secretary to the executive secretary in her longer employed by the Association. The only item of interest in the foundation of the Board of Directors is the one referring to the young lady. Who indulged her to love and why was she sacribed? If it was thought by me missing the young lady the issue would be settled, we beg to state that we regard it as a gross injustice to make her the scapegoat. Furthermore, THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1921 by encorching this item in the report, the Board of Directors unwittingly acknowledged that the resigning members of the local committee had ample grounds upon which to demand the resignation of the executive secretary. Yet, instead of sustaining the action of the majority of the so-called Committee of Management, in demanding the removal of the executive secretary, the Board of Directors accepted the departure of the young lady as a solution to the problem, and then asked the local committee to reverse itself by continuing in office the executive secretary of the Branch. Denouncing the City Board. Refusing to stumpify ourselves and declining the role of rubber stamps, we have severed our relations with the so-called Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch, and do resolve as follows: 1. That we regard assimilical to the highest welfare of Negroes, the assumption of authority on the part of the Y. M. C. A. or any other organization working among Negroes, to select and dismiss those in charge of the work, regardless of the wishes of the Negroes themselves. 2. That we condemn the action of the Board of Directors in denying to the West 135th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. the fullest measure of self-government. 3. That we depend the highest moral standards of those at the head of Y. M. C. A. activities, or else that the word "inclusion" be eliminated. 4. That we condemn the mischievous policy of importing unknown misfits to direct organizations in a great city with whose problems they are unfamiliar and, that we encourage the training and placing of New Yorkers in all the organizations in the city workers among Negroes W. H. BROOKS P. P. ROBERTS I. W. BROWN C. H. ROBERTS W. P. HAYES STATEMENT FROM THE PRESENT LOCAL BOARD STATEMENT FROM THE PRESENT LOCAL BOARD The eight members of the local Committee of Management, who have continued their relationship with the Y. M. C. A organization have issued a statement to the general public, giving an explanation of their side of the controversy which has raged around the retention as executive secretary of Thomas E. Taylor. These men say that they—"Feel that the general public should know the truth in record to the relationship of the branch toward the executive secretary and the General Board." In order that this might be accomplished a four page closely spaced typewritten letter has been written and given to the press, containing what is reputed to be the life-history of Taylor, from his birth in Ontario, Canada, fifty years ago, to the present time. It is alleged that "As a law he was held up by the mothers of the town as a model for their cause because of his fine character and ambition." This statement is of interest, when it is remembered that the action of the Committee of Management in demanding Taylor's resignation was based on the belief that his "example" (as seen in his intimate daily personal and social association with his private secretary) was not such as should be set before the boys and young men frequenting the, Y. M. C. N. building. An attempt is made to reply to the statements contained in the letter written by the ten former members of the local board who severed their connection with the board because of the removal of their action by the City General Board. It is declared that Taylor's "surprise appeared to create jealousy in certain quarters resulting in the desire of a few men for his removal from his position as executive secretary of the Branch." As was the case with the letter, from the City Board, this letter sidetakes the charges concerning Taylor's association with his secretary, which was the foundation of the entire matter, and plays up the publications made by a local paper concerning other and distinctly different matters. Federal Court Judge Sets Aside Varner Case Verdict When Varner first gave publicity to the charge against his wife and McRary, the latter's life was endangered to the extent that he was compelled to leave home and seek asylum in another section of the country. He and Varner had been close friends and it is reported that Varner was deeply in debt to McRary for money advanced by the latter at various times to help his white friend in various business deals. It was matter of current report that Varner was sacrificing his wife to avoid paying these debts and to secure control of McRary's financial resources. Justice Hyde rendered his decision after the submission of affidavit testimony and argument of attorneys that conditions surrounding the trial in February, the formation of the jury and its conduct under officers in charge of it were such as to cloud the verdict. The decision means that Mrs Varner will be given a new trial of her application for reasonable subsistence, and it means also that Varner has lost ground in his suit against the colored man's property. A Change of Venue Immediately after Judge Boyd an- d The statement denies that Taylor's use- fulness is at an end; denies the accuracy of the local board would be sustained by the General Board; denies that the con- ference of the Committee of Manage- ment, with General Board was really a "Court of Review," and gives a list of figures which would show that the colored people are credited with less than $10- toward the Harlem branch building. It is to be by H. C. Parker, chairman, J. A. Anderson, president secretary, A. T. Anderson, president Rev. H. C. Bish- op, Rev. R. M. Bolden, K. A. Johnson, J. E. Nail and A. S. Newman. With reference to the powers of the local Committee of Management, the general statement is made that the offi- cial powers and relations of the general board are the same for all branches. With the statement is enclosed a copy of a letter from the Board of Directors to the Committee of Management, which reads as follows: April 25th, 1921 To the Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch: Gentlemen: Compllying with your request the Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association of the City of New York, desires to issue the following statement: In reference to the resignations of certain members of the Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch, they wish to have it known that the "S" absolutely no truth in the statement that there been an attempt or desire to domineer over the Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch. The members of that committee since the organization of the branch, thirty one years ago, have been treated exactly the same as the Committees of Management of the other branches are treated and as is required by the constitution of the Association. The statement that men on your committee were used as "rubber stamps" is absolutely without foundation. It is no more true of members of your committee than it is of the committee of the 52th Street Branch, Twenty Third Street and all the other fifteen branches of our Association. All of these branches are under the same by-laws and under the General Board of Directors which is the corporate body, and the charter would not permit us to make an exception in this particular case. We supposed that the by-laws which cover the operation of our Association, were thoroughly understood by all members, of the Committee of Management of your branch and this belief was strengthened by the minutes of their meetings of previous years which show the procedure in the employment of the executive secretary for the branch. When the outrageous charges were made in a newspaper of February 11th against Mr. Thomas E Taylor, your executive secretary, a conference of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors and the members of the Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch was called for the purpose of considering the entire question. The manager of the paper mentioned above was asked to appear and present his STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR BEFORE NURSING AFTER NURSING Not much more than that, but do it with (kink-no-more) the greatest haircut of all. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair.

Kink-no-more is a wonder worker, so毫妙地学会 it, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the book for any kind of that Kink-no-more will not straighten.

Postal money order or express money order. Liberal independents ordered to apply. Write for the office of the American Express. Agents wanted everywhere. Andrew P. L. J. S. Stengel, III Sr. pouched his decision E. T. Cansler, chief counsel for Mr. Varner, asked that the case be removed to another division of the district. Judge Boyd was willing, saving that he did not think that an unprejudiced jury could be secured in this division; and the attorneys were told to get together on the selection of the place for the next trial. When they do that the case will be moved to the calendar of that division of the court. The points emphasized by Judge Boad as being sufficient for the setting aside of the verdict were mainly concerning allegations that F. J. Thomas, a juror, had expressed an opinion that Mr. Varner was guilty before the trial and during it before all the evidence was out in the allegation that Deputy Marshall C. T. Roane had stated in the presence of a juryman that Mrs. Varner was guilty, the admission of C. G.-Thomas to Edward's and a row that the jury was wronged the night during the trial, and the testimony of Mr. Varner that his wife had not visited her mother since, 1906. Varner admitting in a letter to Judge Boad, since the trial, that she did visit her mother in 1917, as she testified on the stand. Public Interest Subsided. The attorneys on both sides argued the case, argument taking up four hours. O. L. Sapp spoke longest and made a strong plea. E. T. Canister, for Varner did the same, the two being followed by T. L. Guthrie and E. E. Rapper. At the conclusion of argument, when Judge Boyd began to go over the different contested points, it was apparent that the verdict would be set aside. Public interest in the case, once at a fever's point, has subsided, if the apathy surrounding yesterday's hearings is any guage. Not more than a score of people were in the courtroom when Judge Boyd made his decision. proofs at, said conference. He failed to appear and did not send any proof whatever. Mr. Taylor, however, appeared and denied, in denial all the charges that had been made. Mr. Taylor further invited a most thorough investigation of his entire life, from his youth up. This investigation has been made and we have numerous statements and affidavits from responsible business men of London, Ont., where he lived from 1871, the time of his birth, until 1905, and from Indianapolis, Ind., where he lived from 1905 to 1910, and his record in New York as a Christian man and as a secretary or manager has commended itself to all of us. The achievement of the branch in its first year surpassed all expectations of this Board. If it had taken two years to accomplish what has been done in the first twelve months, we could have been satisfied. The Branch still continues to grow in strength and efficiency. We could not afford to and would not do any injustice to Mr. Taylor or the public in a matter as serious as this one. We have sought proof of the charges made without success. If they had been substantiated, of course we would have favored Mr. Taylor's dismissal immediately, but inasmuch as the exact opposite is the case there is absolutely nothing for us to do but to start by him. Some careless statements have been made regarding the financial conditions in connection with the erection of your new building. The entire cost of the plant as it now stands was $833,026.3. Toward this amount the colored people have thus far contributed $14,565.47. Trusting this letter will clear up some of the erroneous impression which have been made on the public concerning your Branch, I am. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM KINGLEY. President. WALTER T. DIACK.

FAMILY MERGER REALTY CORP. AIDS HOME BUYERS A wave of home buying has been sweeping Harlem for the past two years. Hundreds of Negroes have made first payments on homes, and are now finding it more difficult to meet the new payments than they, at first expected. Many of these people will need money to meet the mortgage that will be due on their property in the next few years, making increasingly difficult for them to get this money from the white financial institutions of the city; it is very gratifying to know that such an institution has been established by members of the race. This institution. The family Merger Real Estate and Security Corporation, began operation in January of this year, and has already come to the assistance of several home buyers in Harlem. Besides doing a general real estate business and loaning money on second mortgages, this company is soon to begin financing Negro business throughout the country. It will then be possible for the Negro business man to get the necessary financial assistance needed in his business without having to pay exhilbitant rates of interest. The company also proposes to underwrite and foster legitimate new business among the Negroes. Its others are located at 450 Lenox avenue, and it is being managed by the same men who have made the Family Merger Realty Corporation, one of the most successful cooperative real estate companies in Harlem. These others are S. C. Jordan, president; Thomas Bryant; vice-president; Frank S. Piper; secretary; and C. S. Reid, treasurer. TRENTON N J Tremont, N.

The Central Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association have placed themselves in a peculiar position by the attitude taken toward the 135th Street Branch. Their attitude would seem to indicate that they harbor the delusion that the troubles of the Branch are more imaginary than real, and that colored people are not to be credited with possessing any real moral standards. It would seem that the members of this board argue that as the branch secretly is a colored man, his status as a married man is of no restraining force in his social relations with a woman worker, who also happened to be married. Where the members of this central body gathered this erroneous idea of the laxity of morals tolerated among colored people, we do not know. It is the duty of the self-respecting members of the community to enlighten them in this regard, and endeavor to make them appreciate the fact that the adherence of conventional morality obtains to the same extent among colored people as among other races, and the slowness of these moral standards by individuals or organizations is not to be tolerated. It would seem to the unpracticed observer that the directors of the central board have lost sight of the moral influence to be exercised by an awededly "Christian" organization, and have emphasized the commercial aspects of the enterprise and the amount of money invested and the return thereon. Even from this purely monetary standpoint, the ignoring of the moral side of the institution is a mistake. Its appeal to the community is based on the good work to be done by training men and boys along lines of upright living. In order to do this work effectively the human instruments employed must command respect. This they cannot do if their character is questioned. Mr. Taylor calls indifference to these considerations ended his usefulness as secretary and as a helpful factor in the community. The people will not stand for him on this account. Neither will they stand for the arbitrary action of the member of the central Board is seeking to abate their moral standards and depressing them of a voice in the administration at the organization which the people have helped to build up. Monetary considerations are mighty, but they should not outweigh morals, especially in a socialist "Christian" organization. MAGISTRATE FOR HARLEM MAGISTRATE FOR HARLEM. Among the legislation enacted by the New York State Legislature, at the session just closed, was a bill creating a new municipal court district for Harlem, which would include much of the territory having Negro residents. As the bill is one affecting New York City, it will have to be approved by the Mayor, before it can go to the Governor for his signature. It is expected that Mayor Hyllan will approve the bill and that the Governor will allow to become a law by affixing his signature. When these formalities have been complied with, the next thing in order will be the election of a magistrate to preside over the new court. The nomination is expected to be conceded to a lawyer of the race, on account of the number of Negroes in the district. This judicial representation, though a new thing as far as New York City is concerned, is not without precedent in both the East and West. As far back as the time when Gen Benjamin F. Butler was Governor of Massachusetts, George L. Buffin was appointed Judge of the Charlestown District Court, over which he presided with credit and dignity for a number of years. The Democratic voters of Albany, N. Y., kept James C. Matthews in the judicial office of Recorder of the City Court for several terms. Judge D. Augustus Stifler presided over the Commissioner's Court in Michigan after a successful career in the practice of the law in South Carolina. Robert H. Terrell has been retained under both Republican and Democratic administrations as a Municipal Court Justice in the District of Columbia. To go further afield, we might include T. McCants Stewart, who after active career at the bar in Brooklyn, New York and Honolulu, served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia and prepared a codification of the laws of that republic. With these and other precedents to fill back upon, it would not be without pursue for the Negroes of New York the promise is representative on the sum- bled hill and the Governor signs it. it will be up to the people to select the best man to fill the place on the bench. BOLIVAR AND HAITI. The recent unveiling of the monument erected to Gerg Simon Bolivar in Central Park by the government of Venezuela was the occasion for recalling many incidents of the career of the Liberator of South America, in the struggle to throw the yoke of Spanish domination. Considerable aid was extended to the struggling revolutionists by sympathizers from the United States and other countries to the north. In the centre of the plaza adjoining the wharf at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, there stood a monument with a tablet commemorative of those natives of North America, who gave their lives to the cause of Venezuelan independence. Another country that came to the aid of Bolivar, was the then recently established Republic of Haiti, as told by Jose Carana in a letter published in the New York World. After, the first failure of Gen. Bolivar's campaign against the Spanish forces, he fed to Jamaica, where he hoped to get aid from the British. This assistance being refused by the authorities there, he went to Haiti where he was cordially received by President Petion, "himself a man of European education, who furnished the money, arms and men with which Bolivar enbanked on an enterprise that was ultimately crowned with success." The writer continued: But for the opportunity assistance of Petion the independence of the northern half of South America would have been indefinitely postponed and with it the British proposal which led Monto, to declare as a purpose of the United States Government what had already been accomplished facted through the sacrifice the self-liberated and desirited Havians. It is difficult to understand why American writers habitually overlook or misrepresent Bolivar's visit to Haiti, so important in its bearing on the subsequent history of all America, at least of the man who really cared for the people of Haiti the tenure of European domination by crushing the power of Spain in South America. The Liberator himself never understated the assistance of Petion and the Haitians at the most critical moment in his career. Grateful, he donated a nurse of Sla (100), presented to him the first set of his medals, the don of slaves in that country. He did shoot an overambitious rival the heroic Venezuelan black, Gen. Piar, But in the light of his pronouncements and acts against slavery, it is safe to assume that Bolivar would not have hesitated to hang the owner of the Georgia murder-farm, for the Liberator's his fortune and devoted his life to the people of Haiti, with the opportunity, so use it within the limits of their intelligence and with due consideration for others. This aid extended by Haiti to the cause of Liberty in South America was but a repetition of the past the San Domingo Legion played in the American Revolution. At the battle of Savannah, this legion, of black and mulatto freedmen, known as Fontages Legion, saved the army, according to an official record prepared in Paris, by bravely covering its retreat. Haiti has sacrificed too much for the cause of liberty on both continents, to be deprived of liberty heresy. PICKING OUT A HUSBAND The latest authority on the gentle art of making husbands, lays down the rule that the best kind of spouse is the specimen that is not plucked from, the parent that is not plucked from the parent stem stem at two early an age. The prospective beneficiant, in other an age, must be given time to ripen. Of course this method also has its disadvantages in that a less scrupulous practitioner of husbandry may snatch the selected prize in the state of immaturity and deprive the original claimant of her rights. But listen to the risk incurred by such cruel snatchers. Deputy Sheriff Townsend who has charge of all the cases of domestic infidelity that comes before the Los Angeles courts says that youths in their twenties make poor husbands. "After a few months of marital life, young men usually succumb to the lure of questionable pool halls and dance halls," Townsend asserted. "They find their salaries will not provide pleasure for two and they drift away from home and eventually fall prey to the failure-to-provide court, and wipe up in the divorce court. "And, to wipe the analysis so far as the Caucasian race goes; it appears that Americans, in proportion to the population, are leading Mexicans and Negroes in the number of arrests for wife and child abandement." Whether this matter of fact' view of matrimony, as voiced by an officer of the law, who comes in contact with the reverse of the shield, will have any effect on those hent on housing a flar and kitchenette for two, is problematical. At all events, it ought to raise the stock in the matrimonial market of those wary latchers, who have reached the shady side of thirty in single blesseness.

We must do for ourselves and think for ourselves. Let us be Let us help and respect ourselves. Let us be helped in some another. We will never be helped very much, till you help yourself.

The Governor presided at the meeting at which the relations between the white people and the colored people of the state were discussed. The Governor or presented to the meeting a booklet which he had prepared showing in detail one hundred and fifty cases of alleged cruelty to Negroes and lynchings throughout the state. This booklet was read and the incidents in it discussed at length. A Rev. H. L. Grice spoke earnestly and eloquently. He stated that he was in favor of giving the widest publicity possible to the actual facts and the application of the necessary remedies. Governor Dorsey spoke condemning the mistreatment of Negroes as a blot upon the good name of the state. All of this is highly encouraging. This week a dispatch came out of Atlanta declaring that the state authorities have proven themselves unable to handle the race situation in Georgia so far as pronage, lynching and general and individual cases of cruelty and violence to Negroes are concerned. The dispatch stated that the probabilities were that Georgia would call upon the federal government to take charge. This is an admission which is almost revolutionary, for it runs directly counter to the policy of states rights which has been adhered to so long by southern states. This latter dispatch also stated that Governor Dorsey had announced that he would call upon every solicitor general in the state to prosecute all acts of mob violence and that he would do all in his power to bring the real situation in Georgia before its citizens and to cooperate with federal authorities in their prosecutions. This writer had a conference with Governor Dorsey when the latter was in New York several days ago. The Governor expressed these same sentiments and we believe that he is sincerely desirous of bringing about better conditions, if not particularly for the good of the Negro, at least for the good name of the state over which he presides. These are all good signs. They indicate an awakening in Georgia, if not to injustice, at least to shame. The results will be equal if the people of Georgia can be made to feel ashamed and humiliated at the way in which they are regarded by civilized people. A POLITICAL MIRAGE. Mark Sullivan is acknowledged as one of the shrewdest observers and writers on things political in the United States. Last week he sent out from Washington a syndicated letter on the plans of the Republican Party to reorganize its policy of selecting Southern delegates to the National Conventions. IF WHAT MR. SULLIVAN WRITES IS INSIDE INFORMATION THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH FOR A WHILE IS DUE TO BE UP AGAINST A TOUGH SITATION, WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL FIND ITSELF CHASING A POLITICAL-MIRAGE OVER THE BURNING SANDS OF THE SOUTH. nism is acknowledged as one of the shrewdest cheeses in the United States. Last week he sent out a letter on the plans of the Republican Party to reopen delegates to the National Convention. I LITES IS INSIDE INFORMATION THE NATION IS BEING AGAINST THEM. According to Mr. Sullivan it is in the plans of the Party to abolish the undesirable Southern delegates" which in other words means the colored delegates from the South to the National Conventions. He says the Party leaders are anxious to do this in order to put an end to the scandal which in one degree or another has kept the subject of cynical comment in every Republican National Convention. The step by which it is proposed to accomplish this will be the adoption of a rule by the Republican National Committee to the effect that no delegate will be received in any national convention who is not a qualified voter and who has not actually voted in his own state. It is proposed to make this rule universal in its application, but, of course, the effect will be felt solely in the Southern States where there are laws preventing colored people from voting. Mr. Sullivan, undoubtedly voicing the opinion of someone high in Party circles, says "These laws have been committed and declared constitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The decision of the Republican National Committee, if it is adopted, will be to stand squarely with the Supreme Court and prevent any man or group of men from taking part in the Republican machinery unless he is a qualified voter and has actually voted under the laws of his own state." This means that if a man is not a voter and has not voted and cannot vote in the elections of his own state, he cannot be a delegate to the Republican National Convention or take part in the sending of anyone else to a delegate. All of this is obviously aimed at the Southern colored politician. It is sought to justify this position by the desire to do away with the scandalous purchasing of delegates that has gone on during every presidential campaign. Dealing in delegates ought to be stopped; it is scandalous. But why lay the whole scandal on the shoulders of colored delegates? on other the shoulders of colored delegates? DURING THE LAST CAMPAIGN IT WAS THE SCANDAL CONNECTED WITH THE PURCHASING OF WHITE DELEGATES THAT PUNCTURED THE BOOM OF TWO CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION the thought that they are making a righteous reform. BUT HOW CAN A REFORM WHICH IS BASED ON INJUSTICE BE RIGHTEOUS? This plan which Mr. Sullivan reports is based upon illegal disfranchisement of colored citizens in the South. The states illegally keep them from voting and now come leading Republicans who propose to make these unjust discriminations the basis on which to deny the Negro representation in the Party. This also brings up the question which ought to reach the high standards of these men in the Republican Party who are so scandalized by having men as representatives in the Convention who are themselves unable to vote in their own states. WHAT ABOUT THE REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS WHO ARE CHOSEN FROM THESE SAME STATES WHERE NEARLY HALE OF THE CITIZENS ARE PREVENTED FROM VOTING? IF THESE LEADERS WERE ANXIOUS FOR REAL POLITICAL REFORM THEY WOULD NOT SEEK TO SANCTION DISFRANCHISEMENT AND TO ESTABLISH IT STILL MORE FIRMLY. THEY WOULD SEEK TO SEE THAT COLORED CITIZENS OF THE SOUTH WERE ACCORDED THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON PRECISELY THE SAME TERMS AS OTHER CITIZENS. Mr. Sullivan sets forth that the Republican leaders who are behind this plan confidently expect that it will work out so as to put the Republican Party in the South on exactly the same ground as the Democratic Party and that in the end the South will become a normal political section with two parties, the same as the Southern sands. It is absolutely xafffffm . . . ETAOIXnidhridmwspetanion North. This is the political mimeagic that these leaders are chasing across the hot Southern sands. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SOUTH TO BECOME A NORMAL POLITICAL SECTION LIKE THE NORTH WHILE NEARLY HALF OF ITS POPULATION IS PRACTICALLY DEBARRED FROM THE RIGHT TO VOTE OVER ITS PROTEST. WITH THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH KOWING that THE BALLOT IS HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, AND REFUSING TO BE SATISFIED UNTIL HE POSSESSES THE FULL EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT. THERE CAN BE NO NORMAL POLITICAL CONDITION IN THE SOUTH UNTIL THE RIGHT IS ACCORDED HIM. Of course, if the Negro in the South made an absolute surreverder of his right to vote and acquiesced completely in his disfurishment, then two white men's parties might be established in something like a normal atmosphere, but the Negro in the South has no intention of making any such surrender or giving any such acquiescence; so such a hope is vain. Republicans and Democrats alike had just as well face the situation squarely now as later. There is only one way in which the Southern situation can be adjusted and that is by according to the Negro the right to vote under the identical qualifications required of other citizens. A PARALLEL WITH A DIFFERENCE. Lloyd George in his recent defense of the policy of the British Government in Ireland cited the American Civil War as an exact parallel for the situation existing between Great Britain and Ireland. He made the statement that the situation involved the fundamental issue A. union or secession. Mr. George declared that at the outbreak of the Civil War nearly every one in England sympathized with the South; that even Gladstone took that view and that John Bright was the only famous English statesman who did not waver in his adherence to Lincoln's cause. He declared that Lincoln rejected truce and compromise and stuck to the determination that he was fighting for the Union and meant to save it at any price. "Is there a man or woman," said Mr. George, "who does not admit that the North was right and who does not call the calamities fault which would have followed the breaking up of the American Union? I doubt if there is a responsible man in the Southern States today, however much he admits great figures like Jackson and Lee, who is not glad that the Union was preserved, even at that terrible cost." Mr. George in drawing his parallel stated that the policy of the British Government today is the same as was the policy of the Union Government during the Civil War. He declared it to be his purpose to fight secession and to maintain the fundamental union of "our ancient kingdom of many nations." Mr. George draws a striking parallel but he ought to know that there is a great difference between the political organization of the United States and that of the British Empire. The United States was formed by secession and sovereignty entering into a federation. The contract was a voluntary one. Each state was in all its gnu fren will be form a unified and stronger government. Lloyd George held that the state and the nation on behalf of the Union and meant to save it at any price. case with the British Empire so far as the question regards either Ireland, India or Egypt. Neither of these countries entered voluntarily the British Empire and if they seek to comp out of it the act cannot be termed "secession." Continues civilized government dates back further in Ireland than in England and, of course, there is no comparison between the ages of self-government in Egypt and India and in the British Empire. All three of these countries became a part of the British Empire through conquest in one degree or another, and in each of them there has been a continued protest against the annexation. If Canada or Australia or New Zealand should seek to seize from the British Empire the act might be termed "secession," but that cannot be said about Ireland. Mr. Lloyd George may be able to say that by reason of the contiguity of the two islands and their strategic and economic interdependence England by the right ofgf self protection is justified in striving to hold Ireland, but he cannot prove that justification on the ground that Great Britain is confronted with the identical situation that the American Government was confronted with in the South during the Civil War. IS GEORGIA AWAKENING? In view of the widespread horror and condemnation aroused outside of the State of Georgia by the revelations of wholesale murder to cover up the crime of peonage in Jasper County, it becomes of interest to inquire how public sentiment in Georgia regards the matter. The recommendation to mercy by the jury which found Williams, the white farmer, responsible for the killing of his slaves, might be regarded as condoning of the crime, even though it was necessary in order to get the twelve white jurors to unite on a verdict of guilty. According to the statement made by Governor Dosey, the jury's verdict did not satisfy the vast majority of the people of Georgia, the opinion being that if Williams were guilty he should be hanged. Some of the white newspapers of Georgia expressed the same opinion, as to the inadequacy of the verdict among them the Albany Herald, which said editorially. The verdict in this celebrated case probably belongs in the rather large class of "compromise verdicts" which juries arrive at. There were men among the twelve who had doubts as to the credibility of the evidence forward by the State, and were invoking to agree to a verdict carrying the death penalty. But the majority was unwilling to agree to call the crime less than murder, and after hours of discussion and argument the compromise verdict was agreed to be carried out. If he could do, and after all, we should not judge too harshly at this distance. For jurors are human. The Macon Telegraph was inclined to the opinion that race prejudice was used to advantage by the counsel for the defense after this fashion: The jurymen were asked how they would like to meet one of the defendants' children in after years knowing that they would rather upon the word of a confessed Negro criminal. The jurymen who were opposed to capital punishment may have been affected by this, or they may have precluded predictions in regard to Williams. Only with such a line of reasoning can an analysis of the verdict be approached. The affair must, however, be thoroughly and searchingly analyzed, for the State of Georgia itself, and for Georgia itself, it as it handled much more fearlessly and conscientiously than such affairs have been handled in Georgia in the past, can the greatly needed regeneration come to our common wealth and the brand of crime not be given up upon the whole people of Georgia rather than upon two or three individuals. On the other hand the Atlanta Constitution regards the verdict as evidence of the determination to let justice prevail in Georgia. * * added: The time has come when the public sentiment of this state must fight for the observance of the law in Georgia, whether it be in doing away with the damnable sinfulness of no law or in eliminating grafting, official corruption, bribery, and all the other moral practices in the state, here recently to an extent that has damned Georgia in the eyes of the world! Enough has been shown through the utterances of Governor Darsey and the newspapers quoted above to indicate that there exists a certain element of public sentiment among the white people of Georgia, which condemns such crimes against civilization as revealed on the Williams slave farm. But whether this sentiment is strong enough to put an end to similar conditions that exist on many other farms in obscure corner of the South, remains to be seen. The first object of the thinking men of both races who have the salvation of the South at heart, is to promote the spread of enlightened public sentiment along the lines indicated above. While the revelations of the Williams case were confined to Georgia, the conditions of pronounce could be paralleled in many other of the Southern States. On that account the comments of some of the Southern newspapers published outside of Georgia possess predictive significance. For instance in Alabama we find the Birmingham Age-Herald indulging in a mixture of negation and admission, which only serves to emphasize the conditions complained of, as follows: The exodus of Negroes from many parts of the south is attributed to the kind of treatment they have in the hight wages perhaps a more impelling factor, but the ignorance and superstition of the country Negro magnify his terrors and he cannot be blamed if he thinks all his white neighbors are leagged against him. This is an odd true. Yet there are enough instances of mistreatment to justify complaint. There are still some heightened sections of the agricultural ground where the idea prevails that the Negro is the white man's property. The best of the white men live in themewaters and their black valleys in order that the Negro is given a square deal. In South Carolina the Carolina State courts to shift the responsibility for the billions on the Negro oversee. Mountain states: Williams, plantation, Manning, who committed the murders and turned state's evidence, is a Negro. Unless Manning was not a partner in the crimes and unless the whole responsibility rests on Williams, the plantation owner, the crimes were not essentially racial. The men were murdered, not because they were Negroes, but because they were peons. None of the newspapers outside the South has considered the agency of the Negro in this southern oppression of the Negro race as worthy of comment." The steady growth of the secret benetial orders among the Negroes of Florida was recently set forth in this manner by the Florida Sentuel, published at Jacksonville: The Knights of Pythias, Union Grand Lodge of Masons, and the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of Florida, each having at its head, young and vigorous men of intelligence and integrity, are no longer small and struggling affairs. About thirty thousand men hold membership in these orders, and in every department of their business, system and persecution they are followed. The Masons and their realty holdings valued at over one million dollars, and each of the three orders collect nearly one hundred thousand dollars each year, and each carry death benefits ranging from one hundred to one thousand dollars. Within the past three or more years, each of these orders has made wonderful progress in every respect and the annual meetings of their grand lodges are occasions where a general exhibit is made to all members of the Masons, and all plenums stewardship on the part of the members of these orders, and with the highly approved of example set by the Masons, the tenure or office limit is being viewed with renewed seriousness. Such evidences of material growth and prosperity emphasize the need for wise management and harmonious action by the members of these orders. --- Race prejudice was curtly rebuilt in an Ohio court proceeding reported from Youngstown to the St. Louis area. The suit was brought before Judge Brandmiller by one Frank Schwartz, who claimed that he had rented a flat in a Pike street terrace on condition that colored persons were to be excluded. When he had paid his last month's rent in advance, a family of colored persons moved into the terrace. His suit was for the rent paid and for expense of moving his household goods. "Was the head of the family respectable?" the police said. "I never knew him before." replied the plaintiff. "Then you obey to his presence because he was black" asked the judge "Yes." gave the answer. "Verdict for the defendant" exclaimed the judge as he turned to the next case on the deck. Explicitly the judge recognized the futility of argument in a case like this and was content to let his decision speak for itself. The Columbia Record offset this attempt at evasion of responsibility by expressing compassion for Manning, because he evidently did the bidding of his master under duress and the spell of terror. It then attacked the Northern newspapers in this savage manner. As usual, the newspapers of the North are making capital out of this awful affair. As usual, they neglect to distinguish between the orderly people of the South, who coprieve the population, and the occasional bloody monster who is no more peculiar to this region than he is to any other region of the United States or the world in general. It is a great tragedy of our journalism that the North is more learned with regard to more matters than is warrant as with regard to the South. Not more than one in fifty knows any more about it than he has read in the columns of Northern papers. But as it is more profitable to them, we feel the unstable mwaws of a cheap and bloody nationalism than it is for them to die for truth, we can understand their attitude This is not, however, to condone the Georgia crime. That must be expiated to the last drop of agony and blood if the State of Georgia would stand waived before the people of the South. If there is any sign of slackening, any indication of slackening, any people of the South should be the first to point the finger of condemnation at Georgia, as we believe they would. This brief review of a few of the Southern newspapers inclines us to the opinion that there are signs of an awakening to the gravity of the situation, perhaps more acute in Georgia than elsewhere. But it will require some decisive policy in correcting the conditions complained of to prove, that this awakening is wide enough and deep enough to save the South to civilization. The Supreme Circle News, published at Allentown, Ga, celebrated the opening of its up-to-date printing plant by the following outburst: Last Thursday morning the big Camp- ball exam proof report, installed by the Segurant Circle Publishing Co. , began coming and we do over there. We're here for the final and a great show. the first time in its eleven years of existence, the News was printed on its own press. The Supreme Circle Publishing Company threw open its doors a few weeks ago and since that time, many people have equipped plant. There is hand-made machinery all over the place, on job type, cases, etc., and in majestically stands the big press, with dignity and power, and set in motion roars like a whole of hungry lions. This stands like some circuit, but only serves to emphasize the Supreme Circle Publishing Company is the largest and best operated in Georgia.

Sylvester Reed, a prominent New farmer of Meridian, Oklahoma, is shown in the recount of the ballot by the County Election Board to be duly elected County Commissioner of Logan County. A special to the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch says: The whole recount uncovers a contempt attempt to steal the election from fraud because his face happened to be face. Some bunk is going the rounds about a bunk is going the rounds about voters being in the tally sheets. The contempt that has backed lack of somebody's head. The County Election Board has issued a centennial election to Mr. Reed and he will now on serve on the Board a centennial elected commissioner.

WASHINGTON SCHOOL MIDDLE To the Editor of The Till Ann For many years here at Waltham Cook School, I have been under the management of Colored Cook whose official designation "Superintendent of Colored Schools" Then came the opportunity to meet grudge to feed itself and Mrs. Cook was forced out. An old friend of mine can families encompassed the city. Then came a "reorganization of school system and as usual in all cases—the father we get in hateful period" of our national poor, great days when Thaddeus was the president for cernocracy—she colored set back. When the work of organization had been completed discovered that instead of "Superintendent of Colored Schools" complete autonomy, with the help of the girls still remained as they had that is to say completely separate distinct from the white school we got an "Assistant Superintendent" with very largely curtailed power under the management of Mrs. S. credible. The second chapter opens with a fight for the removal of R. L. from the office of "Assistant to tendent." The fight starting soon after is further different purpose soon to be unrealizable was switched to the office of Bruce. It is not a purpose of the communication to discuss the merits of the contest, but merely to involve attention to the demands of it. The principal merit of it is just this, that about Bruce be removed the next step in the man's game will be decided inside the colored school system—thus the termine quarrels always result in progress downward.

Scores Musical Hit; New Attendance Record Made H history is repeating itself at the Lafayette Theatre and then some. Two season ago, badly king and his company of entertainers chung up a new attendance record, which, from all indications, is about to be eclipsed. Monday evening the Standing Kama Only was in action, something unusual for the first time in this theatre. Presented This Week at Lafayette Theatre by Billy King & Co. "A Trip Around the World" To Be Next Attraction at The Lafayette Billy King has demonstrated his abilities to provide New York theatre guests with a pleasing brand of entertainment be it spring or summer. He previous successful co-stars in Harlem war in midsummer when the mercury, at times, hovered around the news mark. His spring dish, called the New American, has won in summer taste, and is in big demand along with standouts and other delicacies. Mr. King's company is led by the members of people caretakers and costumes. The spring is good and SCENE FROM THE Presented This Week at Lafayet the comedy better. There are two very funny scenes in *The New American*: One is snapped between Billy King and Marshall Ridgely when the performer makes his first appearance, and the second takes place in an insurance office between Mr. Lime, Maud Ransell and James Thomas. Among the newcomers introduced to *The New York public* is Billy Brunsky, a young companion of the play, who is living up to the expectation of headhangers and share's biographies as a mimeaker with Messrs. King and Ridgely. Edna Hickey is the latest singer of the blue-eyed style of an amateur make a bid for the pianist of the New York public. Most likely she will be singing for one of ten phonograph companies during her spare moments before leaving New York. If you want to hear "It's Right Here for You," put over with a feeling listen to Ms. Hickey, accompanied by a male quintet. Vola Young brings with her a voice of such sweetness and freshness it would have been possible for her to sing an "A Trip Around the Next Attraction Following the big success voted by Elliott King and compares the first work at the Lafayette Theatre in "The New American," when hundreds were turned away, the aggregation will present an entirely new show commencing Monday May 2, which will be known as "A Trip Around the World" in two acts and fourteen scenes, in this production the audience follows Mr. King and members of his company from New York to Cuba, Spain, Turkey, Japan.

He feels confident of outwitting the natives and ultimately reaching Martinique in safety where his money is deposited in the bank. But the plans of the ex-Emperor miscarry with tragic consequences. After fleeing from the natives for hours, Jones joins his way. Hunger and fugue rob him of much of his cockroaches and he begins to see ghosts and other creatures of his imagination. In the dead of night the syrupman emerges from the darkness of his imagination. THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY.

Rises to Dramatic Heights. Here is where Mr. Gilpin rises to dramatic heights. Possessing a voice of superior quality, the subtle pathos injected carrion such touching appeal as to thoroughly arouse the sympathies of the playgoer for the adventurer. At the approach of dawn, Brutus Jones, who has traversed in a circle, is completely exhausted. With nothing to defend himself, having emptied his revolver firing at "hants," he is shot by the natives and brought back dead, the creaky Smithers looking on. The evident mission of the "Emperor Jones" is to present a psychological study, nothing more. No matter how courageous and self-confident a person may be he is apt to weaken, even against his will, when held in close embrace by starvation and fatigue, is one of the lessons taught. Mental retribution is another. It is curious to note Mr. O'Neill's leaning toward the melodramatic, morbid and weird. Despite the brevity of his plays he manages to crowd in hangings, murders, shootings and ghosts with marked frequency. Somehow he prefers to sound a pite of permission. His pictures may be true to life but they are not inspiring. Proper Training An Essential; Negro Athletes Have "Grit" By EDW. O. GOURDINE. Star Athlete at Harvard University. When the gun is fired for the start of an important race, one finds on observation that spectator as well as athlete holds his breath for the first tense moments of the race. An "old-timer" will tell you that this matter of starting is more severe on the nervous system than the actual running of a half-dozen races. But once the report of the gun is heard, all nervousness departs and all energies are bent on one object. It is as the runners begin to straighten up half-way down the stretch that there is noticed a face darker than the rest. This very fact makes the runner stand out. People begin to speculate on his chances of success. If the race is a spit race they give him a chance; if a distance run, it seems to be the consensus of opinion that the colored boy will not have the grit to finish with the rest of the pack. Only too often these unfortunate predictions prove true; but not however, because of the reasons given; rather, in my opinion, because of lack of proper training facilities, proper environment, or proper coaching for races that require thorough preparation. The public however is apt to believe that our boys are not fitted for any extended effort that there is nothing in the thematic construction of the "Emperor Jones" to warrant cataloging it a play dealing primarily with the Negro problem. The central figure does not command most attention as a delinquent or racial characteristics. While a touch of realism is given the role of *Brutus Jones* because played by a Negro, it is Gilpin the actor rather Gilpin the Negro who invests "The Emperor Jones" with dramatic power. Some race playgoers have severely criticised "The Emperor Jones" for portraying the Negro as a gambler and murderer, and because of his obnoxious term "nigger" is used. The first objection raised is due to a burning desire pent up in the breasts of colored Americans to see types giving the public a modern birdseye view of the race's moral, educational and economic status. Unfortunately, the average white American is intimately acquainted with Negro life as most of us are with Einstein's theory of relativity. However, it would be difficult to convince some white Americans this assertion is pregnant with truth. Does Not Seek to Degrade. Anerit the use of the term, "nigger," in all fairness to Mr. O'Neill, he has employed it with no desire to degrade his main object being to hold up the mirror and reflect life as it exists. In *Erinus Jones* as an individual and in the language spoken by the character, the playwright does not presume to typify the Negro race as a whole any more than he wishes to impress us that all white people are like Smithers—low and desirable. It is unfortunate that with many colored people the term "nigger" is such a big favorite in their vocabulary. The incongruous stand taken by them on the subject is often commented on. Of course this frailty of human nature is not confined solely to any one group "The Emperor Jones" is in eight scenes which shift in kaleidoscopic fashion, keeping pace with the growing misfortunes of the ex Emperor. In all but two scenes the play resolves itself into in keeping with our emotional nature we can only work in spasticic efforts. Hence they account for the great wealth of colored sprinters, and the great dearth of hurdles, and distance runners. Happily this theory has been disproved by the sterling efforts of two great runners of recent years. I refer to Cummings, of the University of Pennsylvania, and especially to Johnson of Baltimore. When the latter defeated the supposedly unbeatable Fred Faller of Boston, I heard a famous coach remark, "I never should have believed a colored boy would have such 'sand' if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." In the face of this I believe it the duty of every distance runner to prepare himself consciciously for every race he enters; to start only when he is sure that he has prepared himself for the race; and once in to remember, ever, that the other fellow is just as exhausted as he is; and so to keep trying until the last line is crossed. It is all very well to talk of entering a race for experience; but one cannot get experience unless he gets up with the leaders and sticks with them until he is no longer able. And he is able just as long as his legs will keep moving—wind, so-called cramps (not cramps at all but merely an excess to escape the pumphment required to win a race) cannot stop a man as long as his legs hold out. a monologue. Lines are put in the mouth of the principal character only, who occupies the center of the stage for an hour or more—quite a physical feat. Originally presented at the Provinces-town Playhouse in Greenwich Village, next transplanted to the Selwyn Theatre for special matines and later to the Princess. Theatre where it has been playing to capacity audiences at matines and evening performances, the progress made by "The Emperor Jones" has been both novel and evolutionary. As to the sensational rise of Charles S. Gilpin, it is a question-whether his upward climb in the theatrical firmament has been evolutionary or revolutionary. Suffice to say, he is the most talked of actor in America today, a Broadway star, and one occupying an enviable position in the front rank of his contemporaries.
