Thousands View 15th Regin On Parade Through 5th Ave Lieut.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles Indian Wars' Hero, is Guest Reviews Regiment and Presents Stand of Colors to 15th Infantry from Lafayette Post, G. A. R.-In Central Park Under summer skies and through lanes of several hundred thousand cheering spectators the Fifteenth Infantry paraded on Fifth Avenue Saturday, May 21st, for the first time since the war. It was a great day for the regiment and marked a fitting climax to the intensive activities of the Harlem soldiers since Colonel Arthur Little assumed command of the Fifteenth early in January. Colonel Little had every reason to be proud of his regiment on Saturday, for there were 600 soldiers in line and every one of them was a credit to his race and to his organization. There are few regiments in the state service that could equal this showing and it is an indication that the Fifteenth will top the list in numbers and efficiency before the end of the year.

The regiment proceeded to Madison Square by special train on the "L" and the parade was formed on East 22th street. Promptly at four o'clock the head of the column swung into Fifth avenue with a platoon of mounted poles in the sun. The emmighty volume of tone from the great hand under Lieut. Simpson brought hundreds of thousands pouring into the avenue to admire and cheer the colored soldiery. : Revieved by Lt. Gen. Miles. At three ninth street the regiment was wounded by Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U.S.A., retired from a grand-assed erected by the Union League Gen. in compliment to the regiment. General Miles and staff then took their places in the line in automobiles and the parade proceeded up the Avenue to General Park, where it was formed for the formal review on the Sheep Meadow. After the standing review, in which General Miles and staff and the members of Ladies Post, Grand Army of the Republic, inspected the lines, the interesting ceremony of the presentation of colors to the regiment was carried out. The officers and sergeants of the regiment were massed in front of the receiving officer in order that they meant hear the addresses of the distinguished soldiers. General Miles commander of the Ladies Post, introduced General Miles, a great soldier, a distinguished parish and the ranking survivor of Civil War. In his speech General Miles, a high tribute to the old infantry, recalling that the regiment had numbered with replacements men and was in 1911 days after fire. Its casualties in battle were killed and 1,246 wounded, and it had a prisoner and yielded not a single ground to the enemy. He admired the award of the Craig degenerate to the entire regiment testified the master of their service better than any man. Record of the Colored Soldier. At the close of the World War, and in General, "Our government had more than half a million colored soldiers serving in its armies. That indeed was a great record. In our war with Spain the record of our colored troops was equally good, not only in fighting the enemy in mortal combat but in volunteering for and performing most extraordinary, hazardous and dangerous service. In their many campaigns and battles in the war for civilization on the wild plains and rugged mountains of the West, the colored troops were never whipped by savage Indians. In the great civil war they incurred more than 200,000 brave men for the preservation of the Union. A glory was record, indeed."

The regiment then passed in review before the veterans of the civil war and the ceremonies were concluded with evening parade. A number of distinguished people witnessed the review, including William Hayward, the war time commander of the regiment, who had returned from the battlefields and military cemeteries of France the night before and W. J. Scheffel, commander of the home guard. 15th Miss Helen Taft; and Mrs. Corinne K署rettv Robinson, sister of the late President, were also interested spectators. Dinner and Theatre Party General Miles paid a high compliment to the appearance and efficiency of the Fifteenth and regretted that he was not Secretary of War long enough to give the regiment full dress uniforms for bride occasions. After the evening parade the regiment returned to Harlem by train and evening mess was served to the entire organization at the 132nd street, armory, Colonel Haywaad joined his former officers at the Colonel's table and ate the same dinner provided for the meh and enjoyed it. Following dinner the regiment was entertained at a theatre party at the Lafayette Theatre, where the entire balcony was reserved for the soldiers. It was a great day, with the traditional Fifteenth weather, and the regiment covered itself with glory and credit. The last formal parade of the spring will be the Memorial Day parade on Monday, when the Fifteenth will be a unit of the First Brigade. But the General Miles parade and review put the regiment on the map for keeps. Victory Medals at 15th Armory. World War veterans entitle to the Victory Medal can get it on Friday night, May 27th, at 8 o'clock, at the 15th Infantry armory. B. W. Atkinson, adjutant general, regional director of New York, is anxious that all should get the medal now, as later on it may be necessary to send to Washington. All that is necessary is to show original army discharge, which will be stamped and returned immediately with the medal. The clerk fills out application from record given on discharge. Those unable to go in person may send discharge and medal and discharge will be returned to them.

The blow fell on the colored man's shoulder, and he seized and wrenched the crop from Shelley's hand. Then like a flash the officer drew his pistol, an army automatic, and fired pomp Blank at Christmas, the bullet penetrating the children. Shelley jumped into his automobile and drove rapidly away, going to Fort Myer. His victim, left alone, walked about fifty yards before succumbing. After he fell others ran up and he was rushed to the Emergency Hospital, where he is in a serious condition. As the shooting occurred on government property, Shelley was arrested and turned over to the military authorities.

Roberts from Dr. George O'Hanlon, general medical superintendent of that institution. Dr. O'Hanlon's letter was in reply to a communication from Alderman Roberts in which the matter of colored nurses for Bellevue was taken up. Dr. Roberts has been active in his endeavors to secure opportunities for advanced work for the colored trained nurse, and this letter from Dr. O'Hanlon refers to a conference held two years ago between himself and Dr. Roberts at which time a policy was outlined. The letter from the Bellevue official is as follows: "Dear Dr. Roberts—In reply to your letter of inquiry of recent date, regarding admission of nurses for post graduate work, I would say, you will recall our conference of more Veterans to Hear Sermon.

Rural Life M And Profitab Dr. M Richmond, Va.—"The honest, industrious black man should be just as safe with his property and with his life, and just as safe in the pursuit of happiness, as any other American citizen. He should share in the privileges accorded to other American citizens in exact proportion to the measure of his merit." Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, made this statement at the closing session of the Virginia Rural-Life Conference, which brought together, at the call of Gov. Westmoreland Davis, some five hundred delegates from all sections of Virginia for the frank discussion of what can and should be done to give all rural citizens a safer and more profitable living. "The question of race relations, especially in the South," said Dr. Moton in his address on "The Fundamentals of an improved Country Life," is very closely allied with country life as it affects my race. Eighty-five percent of the Negroes in the South live in the country. They produce about 70 per cent of the cotton that is raised in America. It is very important for the country, therefore, and equally important for the Negroes in America, for their own sake as American citizens and as human beings, as well as for the economic value in the country, that they should be made happy and contented in the country. This is just as important for the white man as it is for the Negro. Interests of Both Race Interwoven. "The interest of both races in the South are absolutely intertwined, that what helps the progress of one helps the progress of the other."

"The conditions must be made possible for a Negro to earn a comfortable living on the farm. We cannot have country life satisfactorily developed in any country until people are able to earn a decent living from the soil. Much has been done by our agricultural schools and colleges, but a great deal more must be done to enable the Negro farmer intelligently and diligently to dig out of the soil the things necessary for his material happiness. This is fundamental. Fair Price for the Farmer. "The Negro farmer, as well as other farmers, must be paid a fair price for his products. In order to bring this about, all farmers in the country must be encouraged in some form of cooperative marketing. "The social life must also improved. The possession of money and of the things which money can buy is not enough to make men want to live their lives in the country. Men go to the cities for the social contact they can have there. We must somehow provide better schools so that country boys and girls may be able to obtain an education that will make it possible for them to live their lives. We completely wherever they desire to cast their lot. Power of the Church. "We must do more to make our churches and schools real centers of thought that will give each instruction and inspiration as well touch more directly the daily lives of the people.

The Safe Negro Farmer, 100 Virginians get out of the country people to take back to the city. "Men and women must be taught to play and to provide for themselves such forms of wholesome amusement as will leave no aching void in the home life of the people. More and more we must provide our homes with modern conveniences that will make it possible for the mothers of families to get rid of, much of the drudgery of country life. Safety for Negro Farmers "The Negro farmer should be protested. There should be in no part of this country such a thing as enforced labor, or peonage, and I thank God for the aroused sentiment which is driving this monace out of Georgia and other parts of the South. "If the Negro is to remain on the farm, buying and owning a home and making this home a part of a live, wide-awake community, he must have the assurance that this poverty will remain his for all time, to come, so long as he desires to own it. We cannot expect a man to remain in an isolated country place and plan a future in the hands of his children. He fails that there is danger, not of losing his morality, but also of losing the lives of himself and his family as well. Better Back Relations "The South is now studying itself in the mirror of our opinion. Especially is this true in the matter of race within. A just and more satisfactory settlement of this question is just for distant what we of the South, Black and white, begin to recognize our own shortcomings and seek to correct them. This self-criticism is manifested in the efforts for cooperation between the two races, and it has given birth to a new spirit of good-will and cooperation between them. Indefinite Leave to Bruce of D.C.School (Special to The New York Age) Wasington, D. C.—Roscoe C has been granted an indefinite lea assistant superintendent of the co September 1st, 1921, and Garnet High School, has been chosen by a mendation of Superintendent Ball This is to M. Waring will Wasington, D. C.—Roscoe Conklin Bruce, on his own request, has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from his duties as assistant superintendent of the colored public schools, to take effect September 1st, 1921, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, principal of Dunbane High School, has been chosen by the Board of Education, on recommendation of Superintendent Ballou, to fill Mr. Bruce's place. This action by Mr. Bruce will probably have the effect of putting a stop to the activities of the Parents' League, which has for months been energetic in opposition to Bruce as assistant superintendent and outspoken in demanding his removal from office. Notwithstanding the efforts of this organization, Mr. Bruce has always won out. He was exonerated by a special investigation committee appointed by the Senate a year ago, and a majority of the local Board of Education have consistently supported him in the rights directed by the Parents' League. Peyton's Opinion "I do not recall any one thing that has contributed so largely to the destruction of morale in the schools and stirring up of unrest and animosity among the people generally as the Bruce case. This case has hung like a pall over the schools and the community for the past ten years, and the end is not a slight." Bruce's Request for Leave Mr. Bruce's request for leave of absence was dated May 18th, and read as follows: "I have the honor to request leave of absence from my position as assistant superintendent in charge of colored public schools for an indefinite period beginning September 1, 1921. During the term of such leave, if I should desire to engage in any other gainful occupation, I request permission of the board of education to do so. In any case, let me say, it is my purpose to enter upon certain inquiries within the field of educational administration. In transmitting the request to the Board, Superintendent Haulou recommended granting the leave on the following conditions. 1. That in accordance with the law, the leave of absence is understood to be without pay. 2. That Mr. Bruce be permitted to gainful occupation while on leave of absence. 3. That Mr. Bruce's reappointment to service following this leave of absence shall be in accordance with rule 1 of the board of education and section 2 of the organic act, namely "upon written recommendation of the superintendent of schools," at the discretion of the said superintendent. 4. That the appointment of a person to fill the position of assistant superintendent of colored schools on and after September 1, 1921, be made at the early convenience of the superintendent. 5. That the provision of the rules of the board of education which are inconsistent with any part of these recommendations be suspended. The only objecting voice on the Board was that of Fountain Peston who has for some time opposed Bruce and whose term of office soon expires. He is to be succeeded by Counsellor William L. Houston, Mr. Peston voted against granting the leave of absence, and in support of his vote made a statement in which he declared that he could not conscientiously concur in any recommendation which does not N.Y.A.M.E.Chur Holding Its Sess Bishop Heard is Presid have been made in Philadelphia N.Y.A.M.E.

The conference will be presided over by Bishop William H. Heard, presiding bishop of the first episcopal district comprising the New York, New England, New Jersey and Philadelphia conferences. The bishop has already held two conferences. The New Jersey conference closed Sunday, May 15, with more changes in pastoral appointments than usual. The work was re-established and a fourth presiding elder district was added. The districts are Newark, New Brunswick, Atlantic City and Camden. The Revs. J. F. Vanderhurst and S. L.

This case has hung like a pall over the schools and the community for the past ten years, and the end is not in sight. Less enlightened communities would not have tolerated the Bruce case for so long a time. The personal interests of one man, no matter how much influence he could bring to bear, would not have been allowed to see the life of a school system and keep the whole community in uproar and trumor." Mr. Peyston declared that temporization in the past had made bad matters worse, and that it was unfortunate that the case should have been left a legacy to Dr. allon. Declaring that the Boys should either retain Mr. Bruce or put of him altogether, Peyston asked to have his reasons a part of the record. League Pickets Wothdrawa Other members of the Parents' League expressed the opinions that the actress presaged entire withdrawal eventually of Mr. Bruce and pickets who for many months have marched around the Franklin building carrying banners denouncing Bruce were recalled shortly afternoon on May 19th, when the action of the Board became known. Mr. C. M. Tanner, president of the league, said that the removal of Mr. Bruce from the system was what they had been working for, and if that is what this present action means they are satisfied. Otherwise said she, we will renew our fight. Senator Bat Harrison of Mississippi has taken an active interest in the Bruce case, having served on the Senate investigating committee. He expressed himself as pleased that the Board adopted Superintendent Ballou's recommendation and granted the leave of absence, believing that it would eliminate friction from the school system. Mr. Bruce's Plans Although he has not revealed his plans, it seems that Mr. Bruce is considering another position which will take him out of the District school system. He has been in the schools here since 1900, coming to Washington from Tuskegee Institute where he taught under Booker Washington. Mr. Bruce was at first supervising principal and in 1907 was appointed to his present position. The fight against his administration was waged at first in the board in 1911 and was begun again two years ago by the Parents' League.

DEAR GIRLS: I am not feeling well this dreary morning. I didn't get my paper last week, so I had to borrow one, because the letters are so cheerful. Oh! I'm so glad to see another N. C. in the column. You see, if we get enough girls from a state, we can form state clubs. I was in Winston-Salem last weekend on Ridge avenue with L. B. R. Do you know, by the way, you whilte in the S. Lina City? I Girls, don't forget the S. N. A. P. S., please. "HAPPINESS." Fayetteville, N. C. DEAREST GIRLS: I must begin my letter this week with apologies to "Jamie," "Bimktum," Brownie, No. 2, and others to whom I forgot to introduce myself. How are you all? Don't you girls think that we should wear some kind of a little button? Someone said that New York was too far away for a number of the girls to meet and organise here but I think that each one should try to get a vacation at the same time, and we could all meet, become acquainted and then organize. Let us decide about something at once. I was glad to hear from "Numbers." You have an original name, just used in your name. My friends call me "legs," because of my extraordinary height but I don't like that appellation. Oh, "Red" how I would love to take a hike with you if you didn't talk to me in French. I have just read the most wonderful book entitled "Use of Life" by Sir John Lubock. "Melrose." I would advise you to read this. I am glad everyone is becoming interested in our column. "Well chosen friendship, the most noble of virtues, all our joy, make double And into halves divide our trouble. ETHEL. New York City DEAR GIRLS: Isn't our column growing? I can't even wait till Friday to hear from you. I am very glad the New, York girls are jaming. I haven't any members from Perth Amboy as yet, but I won't stop until I do as I first promised. "Brownie" I go to Rahway, quite often. I also know a girl whose initials are M. K. I hope if it is the same girl you know. "Red" I do not know you but I know some one that does. Bobbie! If you have been to Amboy I am sure I must know you. "Blossom". "Number" "Bert" and "Ethel" I am glad you joined our happy crowd. "Blink-tum". I guess you are glad your exams are over. Our's haven't begun yet, but wait till they do. "Melrose". I can't think how you got your name, but I am waiting anxiously to know. Hello Brownie No. 2. "Buddy" and Jamie "Happiness" I haven't forgotten you. "Elise" I guess your school work keeps you very busy doesn't it? Love to all. "TEDDY" DFAR GIRLS: Last week I had a regular feast of lovely letters to read from the girls when I received my paper "Blipom," "Smiles," "Numbers" and "Ettel," welcome to our circle "Melrose" you have my sympathy, Mother, father, nine brothers and two sisters are living. One brothers prefers to live in France, so I never see him. But I guess there are not many of you girls who have a larger family than I have. Thank you, "Ettel." I deserve the timely criticism. May you become better acquainted. May you extend to you the hand of welcome to the little hope. "Browne No. 2." I truly hope toothache has gone by now. Love to all of you. Lovingly. "BERT." New York City. DEAR GIRLS: Isend this token to you with joy, "Brownie," we owe to you, the praise of getting the girls so true. "Brownie No. 2," we never shall forget you, "Bert," you are new, but always on the alert. "Dimplees," you are cute with hobbled hair, and brown eyes. "Happiness" and "Melrose," I love you true. The Old Dominion oracle of the Richmond Planet lot fall the following genus of wisdom: The two most valued documents in marrionial life are a marriage certificate, and divorce papers. One costs from one to two dollars and the other costs from fifty, dollars and upwards and yet some people will pay for the latter more willingly than they will advance the money for the former. Strange world this is. Especially when other people, like the oracle quoted, fail to invest in either kind of document. Says the Dallas, Tex., Expresss The return to normalcy seems to be affecting every industry but the boot-leggers. If bootlegging continues on an abnormal basis, it would seem that prohibition enforcement does not work in Texas. A want, advertisement in the Pittsburgh American for day's work says that the advertiser "will wok Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays." How because you are next to my state you see, "Bobbie," though we are far away, my love goes out for you each day. "Red," I know you are always gay; for the name which you convey, "Teddy" and "Buddy," should be good pals for they are from the same old state. Now, girls, lets all be jolly, for this is spring; and be as happy as the birds that sine. Greetings to all. DAKLING GIRLS: As our agent didn't get the paper this week, I hardly know what to say. Girls don't you think that "Brownie" will make a good poesy? She says she won't be, but one of these days all the girls column of this paper will be proud to know her, and can say I know—There now! I almost told her name. Good-bye till next time. DEAR GIRLIES: I am writing these lines between inter- estings of various fanning. Gee! but its mess. Well how's everybody. To com- ply with Brownie's suggestions of organization, I will nominate officers. President, "Brownie"; vice-president, Happiness; "treasurer"; Bobbie; "secre- tary," Blossom; "Brownie"; Bobbie; "move- gave me a book about the "Girls of Central High." So your attendance there makes the book seem more interesting. I appreciate "Ethel" and "Blossom's" invitations and hope that we can get organized and plan an unusually interesting program. "Red." I've taken one year of French, so as long as you keep on the level I can translate it. "Ethel." I'll have to tell you the same and story that I told "Happiness." I have only taken a picture once in my life and I broke the man's, camera. Luckily, a friend has promised for love's mere take to sacrifice her camera in the attempt at taking my picture. If it comes out all right I'll send one to both of you to keep away the mosquitoes. Girls! are we going to make our club an all round literary and social organization, or is it going to be one or the other? I suggested forming a club in New York City and "Dimples" agreed. I see my mistake, so I am afraid that the first suggestion of forming a joint club in each city would be the best thing; but what are we going to do? So far the largest number of girls from one city is four. That city is Plainfield. Well girls, I think we'll have to discuss this question after organization. Hop- ing that we will have the best of suc- cesses. I am yours. "BUDDY." Plainfield, N. J. DEAR GIRLS: Here I am again, and I am very happy, "Brownie" suggested that this be "Suggestion Day." There are more column girls in New Jersey than any other state at present, and the New York and Jersey girls can better get together than those of us who are far off. So I think that the club must be formed in either New York or New Jersey. I cast my vote for "Brownie" as president. I hope that some one will suggest a name for the club. I suggest "M. O. P." (Maidens of Pleasure) I shall be very glad to hear from all the girls. I think the same answer suitable for both "Bobbie's" and "Jamie's" riddles, and "Brownie No. 2" has given a good one. "Brownie No. 2" I shall be delighted to go to the beach at any time with you(after I've been asked). I am real sorry that old age is affecting your teeth but I hope you will soon have your new ones. Lots of love to all. about Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, or are they reserved for recuperation? Referring to a statement in the report of the State Superintendent of Education of Georgia, that the whites are carrying the burden of educating the Negroes, the Atlanta Independent says: The facts will not hear this statement out. The truth of the matter is; the Negro does not get the benefit of the amount of funds which he pays in taxes for education. That charge has been made over and over again, but it is without foundation, for statistics show that the Negro does not get his pro-rata share of the school fund for which he pays taxes. As was stated in our last week's issue, "The Negro child gets $20. Now this difference is out of proportion to the amount of taxes the two races pay into the public treasury." The double standard of education adhered to, one for colored citizens and one for whites, is denounced as unfair and unjust. A new deal on an equitable basis for public education is called for. VA. NORMAL CLAIMS 1921 BASEBALL "CHAMP" Petersburg, Va.—The baseball nine of the Virginia Normal Institute closed its season on Saturday, May 21st, by defeating Hampton Institute at Petersburg, by the score of 8 to 0.

Virginia Normal now claims the championship of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Baseball Association. turing to write again because I wished to see what you thought of me and I see that I am spoken of quite some. Girls wouldn't it interest you to learn that "Blossom" is my sister? I must say that I was foolish in suggesting the organization of a club in New York, because, as "Brownie" says it wouldn't be convenient enough for the girls from Pennsylvania, and North Carolina etc. "Brownie," you said that if we ever meet it would not be hard to find "Bobbie" and myself because of hobbed hair, so I have decided to put mugs up when it gets a little longer. "Bert," I don't think I can answer your question pertaining to the two dimples, but I must tell you that one of these dimples is smaller than the other and not so very conspicuous. Glad to meet you "Smiles," "Numbers," "Del No. I." Will some of you girls please send a snapshot of yourselves to me? It's this way, gitties, I am making a collection of the pictures of all my friends and I simply must have my girls of The New York Age! So please don't refuse me! And dears, will you please accept "Blossom" invitation to come out to visit Roosevelt's home after we become fully organized. Girls I hope you agree with me that we will take "Brownie" for president? With barrels of love. "DIMPLES." Oyster Bay, L. I. RIDGEWOOD. N. I Ridgewood, N. J.-At the A. M. E. Zion Church, J. J. Jones, local preacher, spoke. The pastor, Rev. J. H White, spoke at night.

DeWitt There have been many comments upon the proposed loan of five million dollars by the United States Government to the Republic of Liberia. Some have been in favor of it, while others have been opposed to it. May I not as a citizen of the Republic of Liberia, and one interested not only in the development of the Republic of Liberia or the Continent of Africa, but in the progress of the Negro race, present a few cold facts through the columns of your paper for the consideration of its readers. It is an indisputable fact, that in the way of natural resources there is nowhere upon the globe a more valuable forty four thousand square miles of land than is found in Liberia. For fertility, the Liberia soil has no superior. The plow and other farming implements are unknown. The horse and mule as domestic animals are unthought of. One only needs to tickle the soil and it responds with greater abundance than do the farms of America. Instead of stooping to gather our cotton as is done here, we either reach up to it or put a step ladder to it. Because of the absence of the cold weather, we do not plant every year as we do every year. Youth and Beauty Chats "Live and Learn." we often say, when something tried to do, has turned out wrong or fallen through. And if we'd look around, we'd learn that some one else had way it should be done, and so the "Live and Learn", saying good, we'd seldom need if we only would LEARN AND LIVE Learn how to live, and then live. Every week The New Age has been giving rules on how to care for the house we how to keep it healthful, youthful and beautiful. We have come from all parts, of the country, asking for advice has been given, both through the columns of The Age and BY MONA is done, in this country, but most crops are planted only about once every five or seven years, while there are some fluffy, such as the cocoa and coffee that continue perpetually in their growth. A most encouraging feature of the Liberian soil, is the vast variety of things that can be grown, viz: rubber, rice, coffee, palms and their many by-products, such as the oil, kernel, thread, matting and fuel, the cocoa beans, sugar, tropical fruits of every description, such as the cocoa-nuts, plumapples, sour soops, watermelons, guavas, gram-madillions and about six or eight varieties of plums. Then ther is the vegetable held, with vegetables of almost every kind. Timber of every description is to be found in the Liberian forests, such as poplars, Cedars, Oaks, gums, iron woods, mulberry and mahogany. The number and variety of animals and valuable birds in Liberia is amazing, such as the elephant, lion, tigers, wild horses, wild cows, and many other animals and birds such as the ostrich, peacock, partridges etc., whose furs and plumage might add millions of dollars to the pocketes of the investors. The Liberian hippopotamus is in greater demand and brings higher sums than any other species. But is this all that is at the back of the Liberian Republic? No! Gold, copper, silver, zinc, iron, coal, diamonds and many other precious stones and metals are to be found in the bowels of the soil. There are upward of three hundred rivers and streams in Liberia, many of which are either navigable or could be made to fit it on a boat. Liberia's greatest need is in development, and this requires capital and skill. With a little capital and skill, combined with good management, she could soon be made to take her true position upon the West Coast of Africa—Light of the land and pride of the race. With such a man as President King at the head of affairs, a man who has been tried and proven, a man who is thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the country and has the confidence of the people, I do not feel that there ever has been or even will be a more appropriate time for the launching of plans for the developing of Liberia, than the present. Let us hope not only that the desired amount of money will be advanced by The United States Government, but that the American Negro will soon see his opportunity in Liberia, not for foolish adventure, but for wise and well planned investments that will bring handsome dividends on money invested. By the time that this article gets so the reader, I expect to be upon the high seas, enroute for Liberia where I intend to spend my life in serving my country, and my race, but as I go, I am going looking forward for the day when, disdaining the shibbailheads of the past, there will become a general awakening of interest in Liberia on the part of the American Negro, when they shall set out like one great avalanche from these shores destined to teach and preach civic righteousness and all things that are praiseworthy in human government, for it is not until then that our creeks will be budged, our waterfalls harnessed and made to produce the motive power for the turning of our wheels of industry. Our interiors penetrated by the iron horse, that harbigator of civilization and industrialism, or our virgin forests scientifically searches, and its prodigious wealth, which is now wasted, utilized to meet the demands of an enterprising and progressive people.

Industrial Course Board, $24, ROBERTS, Director Home Economics, Agriculture Industries BUCKING PUBLIC OPINION. Bucking public opinion, or defying the righteous outcourtn of the community, is a ruggy, uncertain thing to attempt with any prospect of working out practical results. Yet this is the task that the Central and of Directors of the Young Male's Christian Association, have taken upon themselves, in behalf of Secretary Taylor, and asserted by the minority of the local board of management, who intensely tazor his reation. The futility of attempting to continue in office at official against whom the suspicion of immorality attached was recently demonstrated in the case of one of the largest financial institutions of the country, whose president's financial and extra marital troubles were taken to the courts and figured on the front pages of the newspapers. Without awaiting a judicial decision as to the truth of the charges made, the resignation of this official was accepted, despite the fact that he was said to be a large stool bearer in the institution. The institution in question was shortly despoiled to financial difficulties. It did not pretend to be engaged in the work of uplifting humans, although it has been charged that it would not be liable to exploit humans in the interest of increasing its dividends. Still, the breath of scandal was not allowed to rest; too long more one of its chief officials. However greater circumstance should be exercised in the case of an official of an antimunition engaged in the work of training young men in the paths of clean living and building up a robust manifold along moral, as well as mental and physical lines. If the members of the Central Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. would compare the Taylor case with the Stillman case, they would have to admit that the majority of the local board of managers acted with the same sense of responsibility that the directors of the National City Bank exhibited, when the latter accepted the resignation of Mr. Stillman as president. Then there was the case of the head of a community center against whom charges afflicted his fitness for his work were brought. The local board decided that his侵害 was ended as far as the community was concerned and his resignation was immediate and his dismissal. This summary action was more convenient by the central board in charge of community centers, which wisely concluded that the local board was better appointed with the conditions than they were. Consistency is esteemed to be a jewel, but how it can be invoked to justify the attitude assumed by the central board of directors in unbidding Mr. Taylor in the distant course he has pursued to the detriment of the well-fare of the institution it is hard to face. Mass meetings may be adjudicated and the effect of their action is justified, but nonetheless, they show the public sentiment of the people affected by this unfortunate controversy. Winking at the indignations of the secretary and banishing the woman involved at this late day will not remedy the damage already done. Some months ago definite charges of a libelous character were printed in a local weekly affecting Mr Taylor's early career. While these charges did not figure in the action taken by the local board in calling for Mr. Taylor's resignation, it was stated in his behalf that action would be taken to prosecute the paper printing them for criminal libel. We have heard of no steps having been taken toward that end. If the charges were groundless, it would seem that Mr. Taylor had a good case to bring to the attention of the criminal authorities. While engaged in bucking against public opinion, Mr. Taylor should not fail to remember that the courts are still open for redress of criminal libel, although he has lost his usefulness in the community. HIGH RENTS A FIXTURE. Despite the talk about a decrease in the high cost of living, lowering of prices on footstuffs and clothing has been but slight, while rents appear to have remained at the highest figure sustainable. The fact is that rents in many cases are out of all proportion to property values. The principal reason for this, of course, is the fact that building has been going on in the last few years, in the way of residential property. On the other hand, this type of property has frequently changing. The chief sufferer from this kind of profiteering in real estate is the class of tenants who have to hire a place to live. Tied to occupation and inclination to the crowded districts of a great city like New York, Harlem is the first choice for residence. Here apartments of from five to eight rooms, which formerly could be secured at a rental of from $30 to $50, now command from $75 to $100 per month. In order to meet these exorbitant rents, the tenants are driven to the practice of subletting as much space as possible to lodgers and casual occupants. References cannot always be secured from such applicants and yet they are accepted so that the rent can be paid promptly. Too often these subtenants prove to be of undesirable character, and their admission to the permanent works harm to the family life, especially where there are children. In cases where the protectoring is too flagrant and shows raising of rents to an exorbitant degree, recourse may be had by the suffering tenant to the Mayor's committee in the Municipal Building, and relief sought through the courts. In such cases the amount of the rent paid before the exorbitant raise was made, is deposited with the court and the tenant retains the apartments until the case is decided. But even this measure of relief falls short of meeting the situation, as it still leaves the tenant at the mercy of the landlord or agent in the matter of remuneration, etc. In some few cases where the increase of rent's has been moderate, the owners have been able to justify it, by citing the increased cost in taxes, interest, repairs, janitor's services and other items of expense. Such claims can only be established by taking the figures for each case individually. Where it can be proved that the increase demanded is only affording the owner a fair return on his investment, the tenant cannot complain of injustice done him. The only remedy in sight for this shortage of housing facilities, which enables the protectors to push the rents to the squeering point, is the erection of more buildings. Until the high costs of materials and labor come down, capital does not see its way to making such investment profitable. The way to lower rents then is to reduce the price of building materials and the wages that enter into building construction. Until these two things are done the real estate protectors will have the tenants at their mercy. The legislative investigation has shown the lawless combinations of capital and labor that imposed these high costs on the building trade. The law has power to deal with such combinations and its smash them to funders. Let the authorities deal with the situation in such a way as to solve the problem of high rents by multiplying the number of new buildings, and thus relieving the housing shortage. Break the combination of high costs, make it possible to build at normal prices and so restore normal profits on normal rents. High rents should not remain a fixture. The editor of the Topeka Plumdealer has returned from a trip through south-western Kansas and parts of Oklahoma. His swing through the latter State showed progress and prosperity in spite of low market prices for their crops and scarcity of employment, he found that the colored people are facing well. He claims that race independence is to be found in business and notes a number of successful farmers and other enterprises. A gratifying showing. According to a Baltimore news dispatch, a verdict of five hundred dollars damages for alleged libel was rendered recently against the editors of a Negro monthly, published in that city. The plaintiff was said to be the wife of a Washington physician who sued on account of a publication concerning her on a visit to New York City. The perveying of scandal is apt at times to become risky and expensive to those engaging in that line of business. The Birmingham, Ala., Reporter, in publishing a call for a meeting issued by the colored women voters of greater Birmingham and Jefferson County, said: It is thought that in this meeting a Women's Voters Club will be organized and much good will be derived from the effort. A large number is expected and nothing but constructive work looking to the advancement of the community, district and state, and exercising whatever influence may be brought to bear to establish the right of suffrage among the Negro women in particular. This marks the attitude taken by the women of the race in the South towards the Nineteenth amendment. They look to it as a means of improving the status of the race in the community. They should be supported and encouraged by the national organizations of women throughout the country. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, has reached Cincinnati. The Journal of that city in a report of a recent mass meeting said: Dr. Grandison declared that the time had come when we must, though "hell" he raised, see to it that the Red. Black and Green Buns over all kinds inhabited by black men. THE NEW YORK AND SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1961 TWO SOUTHERN GOVERNORS Governor Dorsey, in exposing peonage conditions in Georgia, not only has done a great service to the Negro, but a great service to his state and to the whole country. Governor Dorsey is receiving both commendation and condemnation. From most of the Northern newspapers and from some of the more progressive Southern newspapers he is receiving commendation. From 22 calibre politicians and from the 18th Century newspapers of his own State and other Southern States, he is coming in for the severest sort of condemnation. A crowd was advertised to meet on Sunday in Macon, Ga., to demand his impeachment. These people who condemn Governor Dorsey claim that he has not only exaggerated, but has misstated the facts regarding peonage. They admit that there is a method by which Negroes are made to work when they do not feel like it, but they claim that it is a method which is entirely benevolent. They declare that peonage conditions such as Governor Dorsey has described in his booklet is an unknowable thing. Just as these upholders of the "Established Order" in the South are attacking Governor Dorsey most bitterly, there comes the news that the former Governor himself of a neighboring State, Governor Catts of Florida is under indictment for peonage and was a fugitive from justice. The Florida Governor is under indictment both by the State and the Federal Government. He was arrested this week in Albany, Ga. It is charged against him that while Governor of Florida, and such a member of the Pardoning Board, he sent two colored men named John Henry Rogers and Ed. Brown, both of whom were serving life sentences in the state penitentiary, to his plantation in Walton County; and it is of record in the Federal Court that actual contracts had been drawn up for the Negroes to work out some "debt," which it was represented had been incurred in obtaining their respective pardons. There are several other cases in which the Reverend Governor Catts, for he used to be a preacher, is charged with pardoning Negroes who were under long sentences with an agreement that they were to work out on his plantation the amount which the Governor considered the pardon to be worth. In one case it is cited that a colored man that he had pardoned and who failed to live up to the "contract," was sent back to the penitentiary. If the Governor of a Southern State is guilty of peonage, and peonage of this sort, in which he uses his official office to enforce it, why should anybody hesitate to believe that ignorant, bigoted, and brutal planters in the backwoods are guilty of the same crimes? HAITI'S PART IN WESTERN DEMOCRACY The memorial recently issued by the delegates of the Haitian Patriotic Union and placed in the hands of the President and Congress has caused wide comment in the American press. It is reprinted in full in the current issue of "The Nation" as a supplement in its Foreign Affairs department. As was to be expected, the memorial has been commented upon from two directly opposite points of view. There are newspapers like the New York "World," the "Globe," the "Tribune," and even the New York "Times," which have expressed the opinion that the American Government should without delay investigate the acts of the American Occupation in Haiti. They have admitted that the memorial is an indictment of our government which cannot be waved aside by terming the charges "mere rot" as was done by Secretary Denby. There was a splendid editorial of this same tenor carried even in a southern newspaper, one of the Jacksonville, Fla., dailies. On the other hand there have been newspapers that have harked back to the same old position of Haiti—that the charges were unfounded, that they were merely the utterances of Haitian politicians and agitators. They also raised the traditional question of ignorance, degeneracy, cannibalism, and the innate anfitness of the Haitians to rule themselves. The editors of this latter class could not have read the memorial. The memorial is a statement not of opinions but of facts. It gives names, dates and places regarding the commission of crimes against the Haitian people. These are facts which can easily be proven or disproven. Therefore, they raise a question which can only be settled by investigation. The reception on the part of some American editors of these old charges against the Haitian people would not carry so much force if the American people had knowledge of the fact that democracy and a republican form of government on the Western Continent are very much inhibited to Haiti. Indeed, the whole Haitian question and the capacity of the Haitians for self-government might be viewed in a new light by the American people if there was general knowledge of an almost unknown incident in history. The President of the United States recently unveiled in New York City a monument to Simon Bolivar. This ceremony placed before the larger American public the knowledge that Simon Bolivar is regarded in South America in the same way that George Washington is regarded in North America. But perhaps none of that larger public knows that it was the republic of Haiti that helped to make it possible for Bolivar to establish democracy on the continent south of us. Haiti was the second American republic. Following the United States, it achieved its independence in 1804. At the end of December, 1815, Bolivar, hard pressed by the Spaniards, took refuge in Haiti and asked for aid. The embarrassing circumstances under which the Haitian republic found itself did not prevent President-Petion from extending all the help possible not only to Bolivar but to the sailors of his fleet and to the Venezuelan families who were refugees with him. He furnished Bolivar 4,000 rifles, powder, cartridges, provisions and even a printing press; and authorized Haitian citizens to join Bolivar in his return expedition. The only request that President Petion made of Bolivar in return for his assistance was that the great Venezuelan would issue a proclamation abolishing slavery. On the 8th of January, 1816, Bolivar wrote to President Petion expressing his gratitude in a letter which, in part, is as follows: Mr. President: I am overwhelmed with your favors. In everything you are magnanimous and kind. We have almost completed our preparations and in a fortnight we may perhaps be ready to start; I am only awaiting your last favors. Through Mr. Ingimac, your worthy Secretary, I take the liberty to make a new request. In my proclamation to the inhabitants of Venezuela and in the decrees I have to issue concerning the freedom of the slaves, I do not know if I am allowed to express the feelings of my heart toward Your Excellency and to leave to posterity an everlasting token of your philanthropy. I do not know, I say, if I must declare that you are the author of our liberty. I big Your Excellency to let me know his will on this matter. On the 18th President Petition replied in part as follows: yourself; you must then be convinced how great is my desire to see freedom granted to all those who are still under the yoke of slavery; the out of defence for a power which has not yet openly declared itself an enemy of the Republic, I am compelled to ask you not to mention my name in any of your documents; and for this purpose I reckon on the sentiments which characterizes you.** After leaving Haiti on April 10, 1816, Bolivar landed at Carupano, on the coast of South America, on May 31. On July 10 he was defeated by the Spanish Commander Morales, and he again fled to Haiti. Petition once more gave him sympathy and assistance and furnished him with supplies of arms, ammunition and provisions. On the 26th of December, of the same year, Bolivar left Haiti with a new expedition and succeeded in overthrowing Spanish rule in the northern part of South America. Just before leaving on his last expedition he wrote the following letter to General Marion, the Haitian Commandant of the Arrondissement of Cayes: "General: On the point of starting with a view to return to my country and strengthen its independence, I feel that it would be ungrateful me were I to miss this opportunity of thanking you for all the favors they received, be sure.

The incident which we have given above is authentic history and ought to be known not only by the white but the colored American public. If it becomes known the Haitian people will stand higher in our respect and regard. STRAINING AT A GNAT. Bishop Edwin S.

Lines, head of the Newark Protestant Episcopal Diocese, at the opening of the Diocesan Convention in Newark, vigorously criticized the coming Dempsey-Carpentier prize fight. He said: "A sense of shame and indignation should come to every right-minded man and woman in New Jersey because of the prize-fight which is arranged in Hudson County, apparently with the consent and approval of the state, county and city officials. They all deserve the condemnation of every good citizen. "I recognize fully the place of boxing and wrestling among sports. Yes this fight means the encouragement of brutality and degradation of the state." Without stating whether we agree or disagree with the good Bishop in his criticism, we wish to point out what appears to us to be a most striking inconsistency. A prize fight may be a brutal affair, and perhaps prize fighting ought to be stopped, but why do so many preachers rise up and denounce prize fighting whenever a pugilistic battle is to be staged, and so few of them had the conviction and the courage to denounce war itself? The preachers who had the conviction and courage to speak out against war, were so few that they could be counted—we are tempted to say—on the fingers of two hands. And yet what comparison is there between a prize fight and war? None whatever. Prize fighting is the play of innocent babes compared with the brutalities of war. For ministers to rage against prize fighting and remain quiet regarding war is to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. MOVIE CENSORSHIP. Among the measures passed by the legislature and made part of the law of New York State by the signature of Governor Miller was the Lusk bill providing for a commission to censor moving pictures. The law will take effect August 1, and the license fees are expected to bring in a revenue to the State of about one million dollars a year. The commission will consist of three persons, and common sense is insisted upon as their chief qualification. They will pass upon the films to be exhibited and licenses will be issued for those which do not, in their opinion, incite to crime, or are not obscene, indecent or immoral. Of course, in a civilized community, there should not be any necessity for such extra regulation by the State of any form of entertainment or amusement. The broad police powers of the State, exercised through discreet but courageous local officials, should be sufficient to prevent any exhibition on or off the film of the nature specified. But local officials seem to lack the necessary backbone and discretion to deal firmly with film indiscretions. They do these things differently in other cities. For instance when an indecent and immoral film like "The Birth of a Nation" was announced to be shown at a theatre in Boston the municipal licensing-board, of which she mayor was a member, prevented the performance by suspending the license of the theatre for an indefinite period. In New York City when the same film was announced, Mayor Hylan, when appealed to: pleaded the baby act. And yet friendly film critics of the daily press noted the monstrous perversions of history in the picture and the exaltation of treason as a virtue. Former mayors, with far less reason, have banned the production of such stage productions as prizefight films without hunting for excuses. One trouble in dealing with such matters is that the film industry has grown too powerful to brook regulation by law or public opinion. Like other great combinations of capital it undoubtedly feels itself above the law and has grown indifferent to the force of public opinion. Such callous indifference on the part of the brewers and saloon interests culminated in the adoption of the Eighteenth amendment and the passage of the Volstead act. In like manner the movie magnates may find their wings clipped through such agencies as Governor Miller's commission. Commissioners who realize the responsibilities of their job and combine common sense with a broad knowledge of human nature should be able to curb the exhibition of harmful films without falling into the extremes of blue law enforcement. STOCK CRAZZ IN HABILEN. The craze for buying stocks of various companies that promise large dividends has become almost epidemic in Harlem.

Designation should come to every right-wing Jersey because of the prize-fight county, apparently, with the consent and city officials. They all deserve the men, for boxing and wrestling among sports, management of brutality and degradation. We agree or disagree with the good wish to point out what appears to us unncy. A prize fight may be a brutal fight ought to be stopped, but why do denounce prize fighting whenever ed, and so few of them had the connoisseur war itself? The preachers courage to speak out against war, counted—we are tempted to say—is there between a prize fight and fighting is the play of innocent babes war. For ministers to rage against regarding war is to strain at a gnat. cent, dividends from some unproved oil well or doubtful industrial enterprise. This very human desire to secure large and rapid returns from small investments is no new thing. About two centuries ago, John Law, British financier, inaugurated one of the greatest schemes of stock gambling the world has ever known, in Paris, under the auspices of the French government. Thousands were ruined through their blind faith in the Mississippi Bubble, as Law's scheme was called. Nevertheless, hisimitators on a smaller scale have appeared from time to time and never fail to find credulous customers. Twenty per cent, Miller in Brooklyn and Foreign Exchange Ponzi in Boston showed in the sheikels until their bubbles burst and they reaped jail sentences for separating the credulous from their savings. The danger would not be so great if the people who invest in these risks stocks, could afford to take a chance and did so with their eyes open to the risks involved. They are usually fooled into believing that they have a sure thing offered to them and so put money into it, that they cannot afford to lose. There are few stocks offered for sale that do not involve the element of risk. A buyer of any kind of stock assumes the risk of being a partner in the enterprise, with no voice in the management, yet liable to bear the losses due to unprofitable business or slack seasons. Every person who buys stocks should bear these facts in mind, and make some effort to investigate the concern in which he is assuming a partnership. Many concerns whose stock is being predied in Harlem have never paid a dividend and the chances are they never will. Quotations are hard to obtain and at best unreliable. Others that have paid dividends, have only been able to do so, by using money obtained from sales of stock, in order to boost further sales. Their balance, sheets, when they are honest enough and frank enough to submit, often show but a slim margin of surplus, arrived at by the transparent expedient of padding the values of office furniture and buildings. If the intending investor would recognize these risks before putting up his cash, well and good. He would be taking a gamble, even if the enterprise was conducted on a legitimate business basis. But too often he puts his money into a game, which is stacked against him from the start. In such a case it would be far better to keep his money in the savings bank or buy some more Lilies bonds at the low market price prevailing. Blowing stock bubbles is an expensive game. Discussing the right and the wrong kind of newspapers, the Kansas City Call said: Another thought about newspapers There is a new paper published here now that bears all the compliments possible on the late honored Sunday Sun.

DeToro was at the piano and I was glad to note improvement in his work. It was sympathetic and artistic. If this review was being written of a theatrical performance, it would properly be started off by saying the when Ethel Houghton Clark, soprano, sang 'Eckert's "Swiss Echo Song," at Carnegie Hall on Monday night she "stopped the show." For that is precisely what happened. The length of the program made encores inadvisable and Professor Jackson, conductor, very wisely had put the ban on such acknowledgements at the annual recital of the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church, (the Rev. Wm. H. Boooka pastor.) which was the occasion of Miss Clark's singing. The conclusion of her song was greeted with temperous applause acknowledged by many bows. A beautiful bouquet was handed over the footlights, calling for more cheers, and the singer took her seat. The applause did not stop, but Mr. Jackson ordered the program to go forward, and the next singer advanced to begin his number. But the audience would not be denied. The applause increased in volume until Mr. Jackson, who played Miss Clark's accompaniment, went back to the piano, called the young woman out again, all struck into the first notes of Marshall's "I hear you calling me" very appropriate under the circumstances. For this year's work Conductor-Organist E. Aldama Jackson selected the first act of Bellini's opera, "La Somnambala"; as Part I of his offering, with miscellaneous solos filling Part II, and R. Nathaniel Dett's "Oaiot Jubilee" as Part III and the closing number. Soloists for the opera were: -Coward Rodolph P. G., Warren Tarrant, liricone; Teresa, Miss Mariamia Johnson, contralto; Amina, Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Elvina, Charles H. Water; tenor; Lisa, Miss Ethel H. Clark, soprano; Notary, Charles Simmons, tenor. Advance information coming to me was to the effect that the opera was to be sung in the original Italian, but this was not done. It was sung in English, and I think this was a wise decision. While the ensemble singing was good, the best, in fact I have heard from this body of singers, it was evident that more time could have been used to advantage in preparation. There was not always the confidence necessary for firm and unanimous attack, for frequently the needed volume was not attained until the baton had swung for several beats. judiciously "cutting" of the score would have eliminated some tiresome moments and added considerably to the evenings' pleasure. This could have been effectively done at several plains, thus giving additional time for work on the more pleasing parts of the opera. Another thing would have contributed much to the audience's understanding and enjoyment—a printed slip giving the plot of "La Sonnambulista" (in English, "The Sonnambulista"), with words of the lyrics, might have been enclosed with the program, as was a parti-colored advertisement of face powder, and the auditors then could have followed the singers more intelligently. The small, extra expense would have been amply justified. Taking it as a whole, from the first organ tone to the finale of the act, the singers did splendidly. There was homeogeneity of tone, fine shading and development of nuance, and the attack was excellent save for the seeming lack of confidence as indicated above. The various sections having the proper proportions, not only in numbers but in volume and quality. The soloists exhibited commendable familiarity with the score, but not to the extent of having memorized their parts. They religiously followed the printed text. Mias Brown singing the prima donna's part, brought to it all the artistry and understanding of which she is mistress. Her voice was opulent in richness of tone and she was prodigal in its use. Two beautiful masses of flowers were sent over the footlights by her admirers. Miss Clark as Lisa was exceptionally good. One of the most promising and pleasing of the young singers now in New York is Marianna Johnson, contralto. She has not been in New York so long, but she has taken a prominent all distinctive place in the city's musical life. As Teresa she sang with authority and power. In Part II, of the program she sang the Spiritual, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child." arrangement by E. Aldama Jackson, the composer at piano. By special request, she sang a number not programmed, Salters' "Cry of Rachel." Charles H. Waters, tenor, is one of the most popular singers in Greater New York. His natural vocal organ had such wonderful quality that he evidently thought it did not need development, and that it could be used without discretion or care during his natural life. The folly of such a course is now being made manifest. Retraining much of its beauty of tone, there is evidence of wear and tear which could be overcome if the singer had the resource of a trained and developed technique. And the singing of such a part as Elcino's is the sort of task calculated to expose a lack of vocal equipment. It is possible that serious effort might serve a good cause and enable Charlie Waters to save his voice before it is too late. For preserving such a magnificent organ no task should be too arduous or heavy. Great as he is his native talent, it must be added to his application and study or it will eventually exhaust itself. G. Warren Terrace, barrings in a living example of what perious intention and earnest application can accomplish. His sitting four year at *Carolina Restoration* was recognized by the statement that his voice was strong enough for grand opera. "Trifling but most dignified," he writes in words that show his commitment to work. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1891. is shown by a more matured style, his better developed phrasing, and greater breathing capacity. There is still, however, a lack of resonance and color which gives a certain aridity of tone in passages which call for intensity of emotion. It may be however, that a recent illness is entirely responsible for this seeming lack, as Mr. Tarrant has been sick for a month. My song also Molly's "Kerry Danor." A promising young tenor is Charles Simmons, a papil of Rudolph Giant, and used by Mr. Jackson as second tenor soloist in the chair. A lyric voice of sweetness, with range and power, was disclosed by Mr. Simmons work as the Nutery in the opera, but more effectively in Part II, when he sang that beautiful little song by Campbell-Tifton, "The Spirit Flower." His teacher, Mr. Griggs, was as the piano An octet of male voices sang "The Lost Chord" (Sullivan), under Mr. Jackson's conducting, but it was not as well done as might be. There was too evident a striving for effect, and this seemed to defeat the end sought. There are good voices in the octet, but they should be given greater freedom of expression. A tradition of Dett's "Chariot Jubilee" with Mr. Waters is roolist and with an organ and two pianos accompanying, was anticipated with a pleasure that was not altogether realized. The tenor did not ring out with its accustomed crystalline purity and strength, and the chorus responses and attacks were ragged and spat at times. But there were many passages rendered in magnificent style, and it is possible that pleasure outweighed other emotions experienced. What occurs to me as an apparent fault is that too much is attempted to all well done. It would be better if we were interested in uniformity of excellence, than that there should be weaknesses honey-combing the program and detracting from enjoyment of the whole. However it remains as an indisputable achievement, that this year's performance is in advance, and considerably so, of previous years. Melville Charlton, A. A. G. O., at the oggan, with Miss Ravella Hughes and Kudolph Grant at the pianos, supplied accompaniments for the evening that were of most excellent degree. Each an artist of breadth and power, their work was not open to criticism and really needs no laudation. A splendid audience greeted Mr. Jackson and his singers. New Communion Service in G. Some months ago I wrote a short notice of the projected publishing by the H. W. Gray Company of a communion service in G compased by Paul C. Bolin, organist-chairmaster of St. Philip's P. E. Church, New York City. A copy of the composition was sent me recently by Mr. Bolin and it proves to be a work of merit and worth. It is dignified in conception and scholarly in development. A devotional atmosphere is created with the opening sentences of the Kvrie Eleison, and this is accentuated through the masterly handling given the succeeding movement. A Three-fold Kvrie is included The Credo, the opening measure, on a monotone for sopranos and tenors, the harmonic changes being made by the altos and bassos, has an elaborate accompaniment developed in triad chords for the right hand, with a bass progression in major seconds from the tome to the dominant on the pedal organ, the left hand having the same progression in sixteens, but only from first to third (in the early passages). A massive harmony is secured through this treatment. Appropriate settings are given the Sanctus, the Benedictus Qui Venit, the Agnus Dei, with a magnificent, unusual and striking Gloria in Excelis. All in all, Mr. Bolin has made a notable contribution to the music of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and his "Office for the Holy Communion" will undoubtedly be given considerable use by progressive church organists. MUSIC NOTES Washington, D. C. is a City of Constant Interest. It was recently the seat of a conference between white and colored men and women from all sections of the country—an Amity Conference it was called—for the development of better racial relations. On the first evening program young Lenore Cook nephew of Will Marion Cook, the composer, sang one of his uncles songs—"Mammy." By special request he repeated the performance on the last day. After the session had ended, Lenore was standing with a group of folks in the auditorium of the First Congregational Church, where the sessions were held, when a young white woman walked up to him. From a silver handbag which she was carrying, she extracted an article which she pressed into Lenore's hand; then moved off rapidly among the assembled crowds. Before anyone could mark her identity she had disappeared. Lenore was holding in his hand a large lustrous diamond, richly mounted in platinum. The boy has the princely gift, but the giver remains unknown. Mrs. Luetta Chatman, soprano, and Mrs. Bernardine Mason, contralto, both pupils of Wilson Lamb, Orange, N. J., will appear in joint recital at Norfolk, Va., on June 14th. These bides are natives of Virginia, and while studying with Mr. Lamb are singing with his East Orange church choirs. Mrs. Chatman and Mrs. Mason have both appeared in individual recitals in their home state during the past season, but this will be their first joint recital. Wilson Lamb will present his pupils in an informal guest recital on Thursday, June 9th, at 8:30 p.m. at his studio in the Metropolitan Building. Main street, Orange, N. J. Several New York friends have been invited and expect to be present. School in Singer Contest Schools in Singing Contest. New Orleans, LA. The first singing contest of pupils of the colored public schools of New Orleans took place in Lyric Theatre on May 7, 1921 under the auspices of the division of music department of the New Orleans public schools, Miss M. L. Cahway, (white) supervisor. Only nine of the colored schools were prepared to participate on the date set for the event. They were: Elementary Grades, McDougonn, 38; Dumuel, Bayou Road; McDougonn No. 6; Marigay; Thimley Lafosé; Valenza C. Jones; McDougonn No. 38; Bienville. The first honor was awarded to the Bayou Road school of which Miss Mary, D. Coghill is principal, which scored 91 per cent. second honor was to Dumuel with a score of 87 per cent. Third honor was given to McDougonn No. 6. 85 per cent. Thimley Lafosé made a score of 84 per cent. Valenza C. Jones 85 per cent. McDougonn No. 38. Fourth honor was given to Bayou Road and McDougonn No. 6. 85 per cent.

DUBOIS In your issue of May 21st there is a letter from Archbald Johnson which says among other things, that any attempt to Fold a Pan-African Congress would be futile for the following reasons: 1. That the First Pan-African Congress was a failure. 2. That it is impossible for Negroes to help Africa on account of its European owners. 3. That Africa is progressing as fast as possible under the guidance of Europe. 4. That in the various countries with colonies, like England, the agitation and petitions of Negro subjects are without result. 5. That the trip for the delegates would be very expensive. I trust you will allow me to say a few words in answer to these allegations. The First Pan African Congress. L. The First Pan-African Congress, held while Paris was still under marital law, and in face of the open opposition of many of the leading countries of the world, was attended by fifty seven delegates, of whom sixteen were from the United States of America, thirteen from the French West Indies, fourteen from Africa and seven from Haiti. This Congress was unofficially recognized by many of the colonial powers. The French Colonial Office had an under secretary in constant attendance, as had also the American Peace Commission. Among the speakers were; the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the French Chamber of Deputies; M. Van Overberg of the Belgian Peace Commission; M. Freire d'Andrade, former Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Madame Jules Siegierd, President of the French National Association for the Rights of Women. Colonel Edward House of the American Peace Commission received the resolutions and petition adopted by the Congress and conferred in person with the secretary. The French Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau, received the petition and conferred with the president of the Congress. Members of Congress. Among the members were three colored members of the French Parliament; the president of Liberia and two senators; the ex-mayor of Battersea, London; and Dr George Jackson, for many years United States Consult at La Rochelle, France. Professor Paul Otlet of Belgium, known as the father, of the League of Nations and Rene Claparre, a well-known Swiss philanthropist, were both interested in the Congress, and present in Paris, but could not stay until the actual session. The Congress met for three days, discussed all phases of the African situation and adopted a series of resolutions on land, capital, labor, education, hygiene, government, culture and religion which were sent to every member of the Peace Conference and were widely read. Whether or not this record shows the success of the First Pan-African Congress it is certainly not a record of failure. 2. How far the Negroes of Africa and of the world can be of service to Africa and themselves in question, but certainly the first step to aid finding out what they can do is for their men of light and leading to come together for mutual knowledge and conference. To throw up our hands in despair, to say that because Africa is partitioned among European powers, the West Indies held in economic serifdom, the unfortunate facts we must not even sit down and talk about them in a rational manner is an extraordinary dictum. Object of Congress. The object of the Pan-African Congress is simply conference and acquaintanceship. Out of this we hope there will grow fixed policies and decided action, but what direction these will take we do not pretend to say. 3. Surely no one who knows present day Africa can for a moment pretend that the situation is satisfactory. The white bishop, of Zanzibar is our authority for asserting that slavery has been reestablished in English East Africa The Congress of British West Africa assures us that conditions are not as they should be in that part of the land. The South Africa Native Congress is appealing to the world because of the expropriation of their land. Liberia and Abu突尼斯 are fighting for their lives. The Congo is not yet redeemed from Belgium exploitation. Outside of Africa the problems of people of Negro descent are varied and insistent. This is the worst moment in history for anybody to advise colored people to sit still and do nothing. 4. Petitions from English Negroes and petitions from American Negroes and petitions from South African. Negroes have not had the result that we could wish, but they have had some result. Is it not the business of thoughtful men to encourage organized agitation of the kind, and is to a sufficient answer to those who are positioning and writ- ing and speaking and assembling for the purpose of righting wrong to say that they have not wholly succeeded? Should Sit in Conference. 2 For the above reasons it seems to me of the greatest importance that the thoughtful colored men of the world should periodically come together and sit in conference, learning from each other the truth about the situation of their kinfolk throughout the world and taking counsel as to what is best to be done. There is no question here as to wild-plans of conquest; war and insurrection. Quite the contrary. The program of the Pan-African Congress is one of reasoned but determined plan and deed. Finally, it is said that the cost of attending such a Congress—will be very great. This is not true. I have been in correspondence with Thomas Cooke and Sunit the American Express Company and other agencies. It will be possible for an individual to attend the Pan-African Congress at a cost of between $400 and $1000. This is a considerable sum of money, but it is a good deal less than we may be called upon to pay unless, in this case, of the darker nations, we are willing to use our brains instead of our prejudices, and our fears. Everywhere in the world the Negro is organizing, not only locally but in national congresses and conferences. Is it not time that some bond between these national efforts be forged and some uniting action and ideal be evolved? W. E. R. DU BOIS. Secretary of the Pan-African Congress New York. May 21. 1921. THE EMPLOYMENT AND WAGE PROBLEM AT PANAMA In order to give the reader a clear description of the employment and wage problem here at this time, it is necessary for us to look back a few years to the busy days of construction of the Canal, when labor was in great demand, and wages, correspondingly high. It was during those days that tens of thousands of West Indians and hundreds of Americans came to Panama. This enormous influx of labor was of the same type as the immigration of Europeans into the United States, or the migration of the American Negro from one section of our country to another, all are in search of employment and a living wage. This process of immigration continued until 1915 when the great waterway was opened to training. Since that time immigration in large numbers has not been encouraged; but the great surplus of labor which was already in the Country, and the action of our Government in taking over all lands within a five-mile limit on each side of the Canal, making the Zone strictly a titular reservation for the purpose of protecting the waterway, resulted in an economic problem. An end also, was put to agriculture or stock or poultry raising except on a very limited scale and under certain strictly prescribed conditions. Furthermore, only employees of the Cinal or of the Panama Railroad Company were permitted to occupy living quarters on the Zone, and as a consequence all who lost this employment either quit the country, which was done in very few cases, or locked into the cities of Panama and Colon, or into other positions of the Republic. (Of this number as many returned from time to time as to work in free-employment however, the total number of these was comparatively small, due to the decreased demand for labor on the Zone. The recent reduction of the Congressional appropriation for the operation and maintenance of the Panama Canal has resulted in throwing out of employment scores of American whites and hundreds of West Indians; the former having the privilege of receiving free transportation to their homes, the latter being in this extremity, like a man without a country, having no source upon which to depend. A few of them have saved a small percentage of their earnings, the masses, however, entirely destitute of sufficient means, paying less than the country. There is just one alliance face in this situation. Anyone is presumed to acquire a tract of land from the Panama Government, on which I can settle, and where agricultural pursuits are unlimited. It is clear, then, that in spite of problems of employment, there is comparatively little accession for suffering in this land of evergreen and eternal beauty, in which any man who will, can avail himself of some kind of an opportunity for existence, and for improvement of his condition.

Good Money Made We want agents in every city and village THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Dunbar Week at the Lafayette; New Musical & Dramatic Shows Lafayette Players to be Seen in "Peg O' My Heart" next Week This is Dunbar week at the Lafayette Theatre, and in honor of the memory of the famous Negro poet, the management has arranged a high class bill with Dunbar as the dominating theme. The show opens with a two-rel comedy followed by Fosworth and Francis who enliven things with their singing and dancing, particularly the latter. The curtain then goes up on an interior scene showing a party of young men and women spending the evening singing and discussing various topics. The conversation drifts to Paul Lawrence Dunbar and incidents in his life are interestingly related. Blanche Deas Harris, who has not been heard at the Lafayette Theatre for several years, artistically renders "Little Girl" and is showered with applause at each performance. Her singing is one of the bits of the bill. Laurence Chenault, who first made his appearance on the stage as a tenor soloist, also commanderious consideration as a vocalist, finding it necessary to respond to encores. His best number is "Who Knows?" Edward Sterling Wright, well-known as a reader of Dumbar's selections, recites "The Ode to Ethiopia" and "The Snelling Eee", in a manner to distinguish him as one of the leading interpreters of Dumbar's poems. Maud Russell, late of the Billy King Company, and Edna Morrison Wilson provide the jeep and jazz. Miss Russell singing two numbers and Miss Wilson contributing a dancing turn. Both specialties get a big hand. "The Sport of the Gods," a six-reel photo drama, adopted from Dumbar's story or that name, is one of the most entertaining pictures of its kind that has been produced. In photography and strict attention to detail "The Sport of the Gods" comes in for much little praise. The cast includes Elizabeth Boyer, who, as Kitty Hamilton gives promise of making a name for herself as a movie actress, Ed. After an absence of nearly two months the Laptopie Players will return to tradition next week opening Monday, May 30, (Decoration Day) in "Peg O' My Heart," Laurette Taylor's greatest success. "Peg O' My Heart," which was one of Broadway's greatest dramatic plays, relates the story of a little unmournled Irish girl who leaves her father and her squashed home in New York City and is suddenly plunged in the midst of a family of the most exclusive, uncompromising English artistry. Her freedom of speech and manner offered Lady, Chichester, but the fact that she has inherited a portion of the estate. AT LINCOLN THEATRE Just how much of a man's success he owes to his wife, is the question which is treated on a most pleasing way, in William Dillel's latest mount picture, "What Every Woman Knows" which is being presented with success at the Lincoln this week. The picture which is based on Sir James M. Barrie's noted play of the same title, is excellent in every respect. The role of Maggie Wyhe, the quiet practical and true blue little wife, is delightfully interpreted by Louis Wilson, who insists the part of glove, the angelic Angela John Shaw, the young ambitions politician, and Charles Ogle, Fred Humly and Guy Oliver play Michael, David and James Wylie Others who did clever work are Winter Hall, Lillian Tucker, Claire McDowell and Robert Brower. The story portrays how a young politician wins fame and glory by his excellent speeches which his wife has aided him in writing. On the one of his greatest speech he falls in love with another woman and drifts from his wife. Then comes a most delightful climax after he realizes his need of his wife and reconciliation and success ensue. "Shuffle Alone" in Second Week "Shuffle Along" the big colored musical melange, will enter upon the second big week of its summer engagement at the 13rd Street Theatre Monday night, May 30th. This all-negro show has proven to be the biggest drawing attraction in New York in some series. With its comedy by Miller and Ives, and its melodies by Siddle and Blake, "show has amused hundreds of people within the past week. The same big case remains intact and Blake, active Gee, Roger Matthews, which includes Miller and Ives, Siddle Gertrude Sunders, Lawrence Deam, Mattie Wilkes, "Onion" Tejety, "The Pales Reach Four" and a big singing act. The New York Hampton Club, composed of Harriet graduates and ex-students in New York and vicinity, will give a dance a reunion at Laurel Gardens on Thursday evening. June 26th. This is the next all-gives R. Abrams, George E. Brown, Leon Williams, Lucille Brown, Lindsay J. Hall, Jean Armon, Stanley Walpole, Walter Thomas, Laurence Chenault, Ruby Mason, Edna Morton Wilson and "Jim" Burris. Shuffle Along Opens. "Shuffle Along," the latest colored musical comedy, opened Monday evening, at the Sixty-third Street Theatre for a run. The book is by Flourney Muller and Audrey Lyles, and lyrics and music by Noble Sissle and Eubrie Blake. Members of the cast are Gertrude Saunders, Lottie Gee, Matteie Wilkes, J Wesley Jeffrey, Paul Floyd, Laurence Deas, Roger Mathews, J Wesley Hill, Arthur Porter, Richard Cooper, Billy Andrews, Charles Davis, Bob Whibams, Muller & Lyles and Sissle & Blake. A review of "Shuffle Along" will appear in these columns in another issue. New Negro Play. Friday afternoon a private presentation of "Coat Alley" was given at the Republic Theatre. The play, which is described on the program, "a drama of Negro life in three acts," was written by Ernest Howard Culbertson, a white southerner, as usual "the Negro Life" dealt with, shows the race at its worst. It is a humiliating pleasure to learn that many white persons who attended the private performance took exception to the frequent use of the objectionous term "mugger" and other terms equally as objectionable. This is a healthy, sign and should tend to discourage those who seem been on insulting the Negro on the stage and in the daily press. The cast presenting "Goat Alley" was composed of Edward Sterling Wright, who also stayed the play. Lillian McKee, Louis Long, Beaulah Daniels, Daisy Garett, Owen Lane, Leonard Kennedy, William H. Smith PlaptLang, Gladys Munroe and Frank Powell. L. A. W. make it necessary for them to endure her. Reg has her own ideas of things and does not care a mug for conversation houses. Her one friend is Jerry, a hippopotamus, yellow whom she meets and to whom she confides all of her troubles in the end. Reg makes a change in the home which is delightful. In the past will be seen Evelyn Ellis, Arthur Simmons, A. B. DeCatharne, Harry Plater, J. Francis Mores, Iner Clough, Walter Robinson, Ethel Pope and Ruth Carr. There will be a special matinee performance Decoration Day. Matines during the week will be Monday, Thursday and Saturday. this club since the war, and already a great deal of enthusiasm has been shown by the members. 'Almost all of the boxes have been sold, as well as a large number of tickets. The committee arranging the affair is also planning to have a brief, but entertaining program, and the Hampton men of the 15th infantry band are planning to turn up excellent music for the occasion. ASK FOR NEGRO ON STATE BOARD OF CENSORSHIP At a meeting of the executive board of the New York Urban League held Friday, May 20th, it was voted to request Gov. Miller to appoint a Negro on the Censorship Board. Among those present were Miss Elizabeth Walton, Dr. A. Clayton Powell, Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Harry H. Face, Mrs. Louis A. Coblin, Fred R.

Frazier, a Fellow in the New York School of Social Work; and the other, a special housing survey by Mrs. Vivienne Ward Stokes. Victor R. Daly recently appointed industrial secretary, reported that Rosemayer, a factory in Long Island City, where the league last Summer introduced Negro workers, now has eighty three colored employees. Miss Ernestine Rose, branch librarian of the 15th Street Public Library, addressed the weekly office conference of the Urban League staff last Thursday. Victor R.

By Gourdin's record of 15 points, the Crimson team succeeded in defeating their opponents by the narrow margin of one point. Gourdin won the 16- and 22-0 yard dashes in 10 and in 22-5-5 seconds respectively, and succeeded in establishing a new intercollegiate record in the broad jump, with a trap of 24 feet 8 inches. On Saturday, May 28th, the eyes of the sporting world will be turned toward Harvard-Stadium, where the intercollegiate championship will be decided. Among the leading track athletes who will participate in this meet, Gourdin will be the foremost representative of the colored race, and is expected to be one of the highest point sources of the meet.

"DEACON" JOHNSON THE JAZZ BLUES MAN I INTERVIEWED THE "DEACON" WE TALKED ABOUT "DEACON" AND "THE BEAR" BYGONE DAYS, FUTURE EVENTS! June Dance—Manhattan Casino (A Special Personal /httrview) There is a something within the framework of the human being, which, in the English language, we call the faculty. Just exactly, what this faculty is the man in the street does not know. In fact, the learned professor in the college or university gets puzzled over what this strange thing called the faculty really means. Ordinarily we speak of the faculty without giving any particular thought to the exact meaning of the word. The dictionary, before me, gives this meaning the word "faculty" which I accept and think it is very good indeed. FACULTY: Any mental or physical power; mental capacity; ability; yes, I have that, and so have you; whatever it may mean. I call mine curiosity. Now there! that is another strange word! What does it mean? Mr. Dictionary, you tell us: The dictionary says curiosity means "inquisitiveness," yes we all have that. I think I am possessed with more than my share. I tell you why. I travel downtown quite frequently on the Sixth avenue elevated railroad train. Between Seventh and Sixth avenues, in West Sird street. I often find myself on the right-hand side of the car. About midway between the two avenues, in West Sird street, when I look out the window, I notice a big and most conspicuous sign hanging on the outside of a house with the name "Deacon Johnson" on it. This sign has attracted my attention so much and so often, my curiosity led me to go through West Sird street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, on foot in front of the building and read carefully all that is printed on the BIG SIGN, / did that little thing and after reading the Big Sign carefully Mr. Curiosity led me to go into the building and look for Smiling "Deacon Johnson!" I rang the door bell and quickly the door came open, and I beheld who should face me and greet me by my old friend—Singing. Shouting, smiling "Deacon," whom I have known for many years! We grasped hands carefully, of course, "Why, how are you?" said the "Deacon," "Come right up!" I were have you been so long. Why do you never come to see me any more? What's the matter? All this time I have not had a chance to say a word, "Come right upstairs." Up we went with a hop, jump and a lap, and we landed in "The Deacon," office. We were a nice, neat little place. Telephone, watchboard, with a simple business-like office in front of the switchboard. We had no more to set down when the telephone rang. I did not hear it but "The Deacon" did. Quick as a flash, "The Deacon" hid the receiver in his hand and I heard his voice gently saying: "Deacon talking." "All right. Ten men on that job. The other job has not been heard from as yet. But we let you know: May 30th is some days off yet, you know. All right. Goodbye." The receiver went up and "The Deacon" turned to me and we resumed our chat. "Where did we leave off?" I said. "You were going to tell me something, about your plans,". "Yes, that's right. But what about the past?" I shipped. "Go right ahead." I said. I asked suppose you let me lead in the conversation. That's exactly what I want, and then I can finish you with facts." Our task long and most interesting, but I am going to give only a little of it in this write-up—but watch for the next in the next. It will be longer and exceedingly interesting. One thing I wanted specially to get right and that was "Deacon's" real name, which his mother gave him. "The Deacon" gave me a letter-head with Frederick W Johnson on it. But he replied: "My name is Fred." I replied, "No, Frederick. Fred is only an abbreviation of Frederick." "Very well, Frederick, then, is my correct name." "Where did you get 'Deacon' from, since your mother did not give you that name?" With a flash-light expression on his face, "Deacon" said, "The people gave me that name. Deacon. You know, I used to sing the song 'Preacher and The Bear.' That was a great hit, in fact, that song really made me. I mean, I would sing and shout and preach before the people who I entertained and they called me. The Deacon. And so, you see, it went. I have made 'Deacon' a trade mark' a name that the people called me by. They, the people, gave me the name 'Deacon.' I said to myself, 'Well, now, I have done something toward the object of my ambition. I have gotten myself a name which means business.' This was true, for wherever my most favorite people would come in, and I was not entertaining, they would call for 'Deacon.' I mean, I was their favorite entertainer! 'Deacon.' Where is the Deacon! Tell him to come here! I would go and 'The Preacher and the Bear,' seeing would be put on. That song made me a name which made me the 'Deacon,' it did! "I will tell you anything you wish to write about me. Tell the people who I am, where I came from: the ups and downs I have had and the success I have made and attained thus far and what I hope to do in the future. As I go up—for I am going up and not down—I shall be happiest when I can carry some of the boxes along with me, will carry them all—they will let me, will let me, will let me, if they will not let me how can I?" Frederick W. (Dacon) Johnson, was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Strange indeed is the fact, nevertheless true, that the nickname of "Deacons" native State is "The Bear State." In the early days, when Arkansas was wild, much more so than it is now, bears swarmed about in the day and in the night. "It was a common sight, in the early history of the State of Arkansas, to see swarms of bears marching about in the broad day-light. 'Deacon' came originally from "The Bear State." He has made himself a paying name by singing "The Preacher and Bear" song. So "Bear" is a good luck mark for "The Deacon." The rest of this story is thrilling. It tells all about "Deacon's" battles in and out of the law courts and about how he succeeded as a singer and where. This story will be continued next week. WATCH THE NEWSPAPERS. COLORED BOY CREATES NEW MIGH JUMP RECORD A the 19th annual high school, outdoor track, and field contest held at the Stadium of the College of the City of New York on Saturday afternoon, May 21st. Willie Thompson, a student of De Witt Clinton High School, broke the record for the high jump of 5 feet 9.7-inches made in 1919. Thompson cleared the bar at 5 feet 11 inches, and showed excellent form in his jumping ability. Several of the leading A. A. U. officials witnessed the performance were much impressed with the colored athletes' style of jumping, and it is expected that the new record created by Thompson will stand. Summer Thompson won several prizes while a member of the Salem Crescent A. C., but he is expecting to wear the colors of either the St. Christopher Club or the Alpha P. C. Club this summer. BASEBALL SCORES BASEBALL SCORES Lincoln Giants Win Three Games. The only local coloured team to win all games during the week were the Lincoln Giants, who from their playing on Saturday and Sunday appear to be in mid season turn. On Saturday, May 21st, this team easily outclassed Howard's team at the Protectors Oval, winning by the score of 10 to 5. While on Sunday the Hoboken note and also the Philadelphia Giants were easily defeated. Two pitchers were used by the opening team in the hold the Giants. The score of the first games was Hoboken 5 Lincoln Giants 11, and of the second Philadelphia Giants 3 Lincoln Giants 18. A much closet game is expected next Sunday when the Lincoln Giants meet the Royal Giants at the Protectors Oval. Royal Gianta, Defeated in Double Header At Daskman Oval on Sunday, May 22nd, the Royal Giants lost both games to leff Tesreau's Bears. The fine weather brought out a large crowd, but the poor pitching and many errors so disgusted the fans. The first game was much more interesting than was the second, the score being 6 to 2 in favor of the Bears. In the second game both Hulsholt and Harris of the Giants were knocked all over the field. The score of this game was 18 to 8. Penn. Red Caps Lose Double Header. The Penn Red Caps nine also met defeat in a double header on Sunday against the East New York nine. In the first game they lost by 9 to 1, and in the second by the score of 5 to 0. Bacharachi Lose Two in Cincinnati Hard kick seems to follow the Bacharachi Giants on their western trip, for they were twice defeated by the Cuban Stars in Cincinnati on Monday and Tuesday, May 15th and 16th, most of their defeats while on their western trip have been due to the make shift team that they have been compelled to use. When they left New York on the first of May the entire team, with the exception of Barber was in good condition. During the first week of this trip the team had sick Kirk and Hercy and McDonald put out with sure arms. This made extra hard work for Redding and Williams. To add to this unfortunate condition Lundy, the short stop, broke a small bone in his ankle, and as Hutchison, the extra infielder, was on the sick list, outfielder Brown was forced to second and second baseman Handy to short stop. It was with this team that they had held Foster's team to a 2 to 1 victory in Chicago, and with which they have been playing ever since. In the last game against the Culayan Stars in Cincinnati on Thursday, May 19th, Redding pitched his team to a 2 to 1 victory. It is expected that the team will be in good condition again by June 5th when they meet the Hildale nine in Brooklyn. Memorial Day at Bordentown School Bordentown, N.

The hotel has been overhailed and renovated—and every facility provided to care for its guests. FATHER. AND-SON (From the youth's Companion) We will hazard the assertion that by far the greater number of men whose parents are not illiterate and to whom they have kept their children as friends of their toys, and that the greater number of men whose lives are wasted or evil had fathers who never made friends of their boys. It is from the father that the boy should get his first lessons in good humor, sportmanship, general industry—indeed, in all the qualities that should eventually ename him to bear himself as he should be in the tough-unstable life. From the mother comes usually the fostering of the genter and more spiritual store of his nature, and from the father is entrusted and may even die unless it is accompanied by growth of manlier virtues. Those may be fostered in school, by teachers and by association with other boys; but there is no influence so potent in nourishing them and in shaping the boy's character that he who makes a friend of his son. Faternity implies nearly always some measure of attention, but it does not always imply some measure of friendship. There are many latters in the world who have a kinder and more tender feeling for their boys when they are away from them than when they are them. The more tender a son is a source of happiness and a source of pressure, the more tender a father who comes home too may make any cost to play, the pre-parent who cannot shake off by way of cultivating his boy's friendships, some of them is meeting in the project that the two communities or parishioners call together to work on health and safety issues for children. In addition, with an amount of effort a certain amount of self-sacrines, yielding requiess your own desires of those of the person that you ordained. The father who reads about to the boys and discusses, with them the ones that they read, he helps them with their lessons, who teaches them the use of tools, the names of trees and flowers and birds, and who gives occasion or giving pleasure to them rather than for seeking it for himself, serves not only his sons but his country. NEGRO EDUCATION From high school, (women, city). More than three million dollars will be invested in the public education of Negroes in North Carolina during the next twelve months. Of this amount, $100 million will be invested in new school buildings and equipment. The fact of such a vast expenditure of money for Negro education is viewed with alarm by thousands of white people who see in Negro education the passing of the ignorant, slowly, happy, joyful, should drudgery for a dollar and a half a week and what she can eat and carry home. They see aright; the ignorant, dirty, incompetent, too humble and good native Negro cooks, and new girl is truly passing, she will present be as the Indian in this part of the country. Education is fast taking colored girls out of the wash tubs and out of the kitchens of Southern white people. Those colored girls who require an education acquire at the same time a higher standard of living that will not be met by the white people with their ignorant, lowly paid sisters. All of this is deplorable to a lot of white people who prefer a plethora of ignorant, unskilled, unreliable labor that can be hired for a pittance and treated like prisons. But the country is not educated colored people. The average girl who acquires an education at the State Normal School for that race at Elizabeth Cory comes out of that shool a better citizen. She not only acquires a skill that she pays for to call education a form of her social responsibilities and an appreciation of the possibilities of human development. She acquires a fine regard for animals, cleanliness and personal hygiene; she learns to do things with the toughness, to make and repair and hand her own clothing. And she learns to wholesome meal dainty and efficiently. She learns good manners. Those girls are not now helping to make better homes for white people, but they are making better homes among their own people and raising the living standards and ethical standards of immense importance to the health and social well being of all white people. The time will come when the educated colored girl or woman will be available for domestic employment. When the art of cooking and washing and ironing and housekeeping have been a little better perfected; when we have learned to make a greater use of labor and systematized our house-work; when systematized so many of our preserious cumbersome and extravagant methods; of doing things, skilled labor will come to our rescue because there will be an place for the unmilled. But when we reach this stage of domestic development, we will no longer require a lot of that. That is the ideal condition and it is a condition that is not at all unattainable. C. T.

GUARANTEE PHOTO STUDIO 109 West 135th Street, New York AN OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR MILLER Honorable Governor Miller, you are at present the chief executive of this State and in you is invested the power for good or evil. Thus far, Governor Miller, you have most wisely, fearless, and courageously handled such matters as have come to your attention. There is now however Governor, a noble and humane act which it is yours for the doing. No other man in New York State can perform this act and, in the same measure of your honest-to-goodness, square and fair convictions, we believe that you will perform this act toward an unfortunate victim of an unfortunate circumstance. Believing this to be so Governor, we the colored citizens of this state are now asking your kind favor on a matter that affects every one of us, not only in the State but in the whole nation. We ask you in the name of noble womanhood to change the sentence of death imposed upon Hattie Dixon to imprisonment.—Governor we do not ask this on the grounds of mushy sentiment or petty politics, but primarily on the grounds of womanhood and also on the grounds of possible doubt, as was indicated by the judges who desented in the judgment of the case in which this woman Hattie Dixon was convicted. Thus far Governor Miller you have shown yourself to be a man of good fair and square honest-to-goodness convictions—it is but few who would have taken the stand which you took on the Transit Question.—This was a matter which needed a strong, resolute and fearless man to tackle. That you have done so is of credible pride to your sense of fairness. Therefore, Governor, if you were able to stand the wrath of that mighty army of POLITICAL SAVIORS on the Transit Question, surely then it should be no trouble or hardship on you to apply that same honest-to-goodness sense of courage and fairness to the commuting of Hattie Dixon's sentence of death to that of imprisonment. This is your chance Governor to show the whole world that you are a man with a big human heart towards even ones lower down. There are thousands of hopes on this matter. Please don't disappoint us Governor. If on no other grounds Governor, on that of womanhood, save Hattie Dixon's life. They may differ face to face and name to name But every woman is the same. Major Jean Dean Barnes, Captain Lany, and Fred R. Moore were also guests of honor at the reception. Other guests present included Lieut. R. Hall, Serga, E. Casey and C. Winslow, Corporals M.
